Giusto de' Menabuoi
Italian painter. He was a native of Florence, but all records of his activity and all surviving works are in or from northern Italy. Together with the Veronese painter Altichiero, and following in the wake of the native Guariento, Giusto helped establish Padua as a major centre for the development of late 14th-century painting. His work illustrates the widening stylistic gulf in the years following the Black Death between the activities of Florentine painters working in Florence and those of artists either born there or exposed to the influence of Florentine art before the mid-century, but working further north, where, after c. 1350, the most significant developments of the Giottesque legacy took place. Beyond a shared Florentine tendency to monumental form, his art increasingly diverged from the style of Orcagna and his school, and Giusto's expansion of the pictorial possibilities suggested by Giotto, Maso di Banco and Taddeo Gaddi in the early decades of the century is bolder than anything attempted by the painters of late 14th-century Florence. His career may be divided into two phases: work in Lombardy, 1350s and 1360s; and from c. 1370 in Padua, where he enjoyed the patronage of the Carrara court.

Played since I was 9 years old... GODS, I'm old D:
I stopped when Ruby/Sapphire first came out, but I only played Gen 2 in Jap so I stopped, plus, with the high school thing, but I did meet peeps thre who liked PKMN. I was a Senior and they were Juniors XD Then one of them lemme play their Ruby for 2 weeks as a pressie.
Then a year later, this guy had a pink DS and was painting it black and I got to play a glimpse of his Diamond game. From what I remember, he was in Celestic Town looking in the small bird-house-like thing...
Then months later, his friends done some dance in the Talent Show and the music/song they danced to, they had the weird dizzy/spinny music from the Wild PKMN theme rom the old Gen 1 games....WOW :O
ALL those little things got me into PKMN again... esp this dude I met in my Graphics class said to me about Serebii and the 'Candle PKMN' I didn't know about, so HERE I AM XD 6 years without PKMN was cool, but really great that I got back to it again <3 nya~

I can't wait for another shitty season of characters who do nothing but whisper, who are so lacking in distinctive qualities that no one I know can remember more than three of their names, and where they spend 13 fucking episodes stuck in the same exact location having melodramatic conversations while all acting like a bunch of stupid pussies.

I would recommend Tiny Prints to anyone looking for that special invitation."
"I received many compliments on this purchase. The colors are bright and true to the picture. I was able to get it customized and received on the said date. I will definitely come back to Tiny Prints. Thank you!!!"

Trading With The Enemy
It May Sound Like a Heinous Crime, but Thousands of Americans Violate the Cuban Embargo Every Year
Michael Frank
From the Print Edition:
Bill Cosby, Autumn 94
William White* had had his head over a toilet bowl for about an hour when a U. S. Customs agent knocked on the bathroom door. White was sick with a stomach virus--he'd been that way ever since he left Havana 24 hours earlier--but a nightlong "interview" with Customs and Treasury Department officials was now in its fifth hour, and there were more questions for White and his friend Jack. The Treasury official wanted to know about the 1,500 Cuban cigars that were sitting in the back of Jack's car when the two men drove across the U.S.-Mexican border.
A few days earlier, White had been in Havana visiting his fiancée. Jack, who is also engaged to a Cuban woman, came down at the last minute to join the party. Jack had always financed his trips to Cuba by reselling a few boxes of Havanas upon his return to the States, but this time he got carried away.
On the Mexican side of the border, where White and Jack deplaned and went in search of Jack's car, White weighed the risks involved with trucking across the border with cigars. "It was the middle of the night. I was sick and cold, and I told Jack, 'they're cigars for chrissake; what can they do to us anyway?'"
After an all-night interrogation session, which ended when both men signed federal court appearance affidavits, White and Jack knew that the Cuban embargo is serious business. "When we were being interrogated by Customs, one guy told us, 'You guys would have been better off bringing drugs across.' We were like, 'man, that's drugs; that stuff is illegal. These are just lousy cigars!'"
Two days later, White got a phone call from a Treasury agent telling him that the charges had been dropped against him. (Ironically, White doesn't even smoke cigars.) Jack, who admitted to purchasing the cigars, was fined $750 and given a one-year probation.
Still, considering their blatant attempt to defy the embargo, White and his friend got off relatively unscathed. (They could have been fined $10,000, according to federal law.) As do most offenders who are caught trying to walk through Customs at airports like Kennedy, Newark, LAX or Miami, or crossing the border by car at San Ysidro, California, or Detroit. They part company with their booty and walk away free--if bitter.
The laws that make up the embargo are quite explicit. Under the authority of the Trading With the Enemies Act, the Cuban Democracy Act, additional amendments to TWEA and the Cuban Assets Control regulations, it is unlawful for an American to purchase any product of Cuban origin in a third country or to bring any product of Cuban origin back to the United States. If an individual (mostly journalists and academics) is granted a visa for travel to Cuba, he is allowed to bring back $100 in merchandise, which may be up to 100 cigars, provided he can find any that cheap.
A 1984 U. S. Supreme Court ruling determined that it is within the right of the government and president to restrict travel. One wealthy jet-setter regularly defies the law, claiming that he travels to Cuba because "as an American I intend to exercise my constitutional right to travel wherever the fuck I want, when I want." If he (or any American) is caught violating travel restrictions, he may get only a slap on the wrist, but he'll be annoyed by Customs every time he travels or receives a gift from abroad.
An official at the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), the arm of Treasury in charge of enforcing the embargo, confirms that Customs likes to keep records on violators. "If we convict you, your [name] will be in the record book a long time."
Even those who are not convicted, however, suffer because Customs keeps a record of all seizures, and the names of the carriers or recipients of seized parcels are kept on file.

On 29 June 2009 my wife and I became parents to Grace Drennan. It is a great privilege, honour and responsibility to be a part of this amazing little life.
Life was turned upside down and changed forever. The last two years have been an intense period of learning and self-discovery. I have certainly learned about my weaknesses (they all bubble to the surface when under pressure), as well as discovered new strength and endurance (which I never realised I had).
And now Grace is two, a little girl so full of life.
Fortunately my business has not only survived the last two years, but has grown and developed. It has certainly had (and has) its challenges, but I keep learning along the way. And now it is time to start sharing and talking again.
My apologies to my regular readers for just disappearing for the last two years without any comments or indication of what was going on. I am back and will be posting regularly again.

Like to admit it or not, Nintendo has cornered the market on mascot-based video games. Other companies have tried their hand at them but nobody has achieved the same level of success as Nintendo with series like Mario Kart, Mario Golf, and the Super Smash. Bros. (SSB). The fighting genre in particular (Smash Bros.) is a particularly hard breed of game to create using a variety of mascots. How do you put together characters from vastly different worlds and have people take their confrontation(s) seriously? Does Mario really stand a chance when facing off against Samus Aran? The truth is, he doesn't. If you can find a way to put them on a level playing field, by perhaps putting them on a level that focuses more on the strength of their character rather than their physical brawn, then things seem to work out.
The secret appears to be to simplify things and up until this point, only Nintendo has mastered that art. At their core, the various SSB games are extremely simple and a giant match of "king of the hill". The latest release isn't that much different from the original release from 13 years ago. SuperBot Entertainment seems to understand what has made the SSB series so great. They have taken their observations and understanding of the SSB formula and applied it to the PlayStation universe with PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale (PSASBR). The truth is, PSASBR is practically a carbon copy of SSB and contrary to popular belief, that isn't a bad thing.
This isn't a real battle and we aren't here to see these characters flex their physical muscles; instead, we want to see them flex the might of their personalities. That is exactly the same reason that the characters chosen for these types of games are done so based on their charisma and not their brawn. SuperBot obviously gets this concept based on the selections they have made thus far for the roster and judging from the gameplay experiences that I have seen in an early build of the game, they are applying the same lessons of simplifying things to every aspect of the experience and the resulting experience is one for the ages.
In simplicity lies the long-forgotten art of "fun factor"
Thanks to the simplicity in its design, the developers have been able to focus on something far more important and often forgotten in today's gaming market: fun factor. Remember back in the day when this was an actual category used in rating games? If you are under the age of 30, then probably not. PSASBR is overflowing with this long-forgotten element and a majority of it stems from this simplicity of the experience.
There aren't any complicated move strings or special inputs required in order to pull off the fancy special moves and attack combinations; players simply need to press towards a certain direction and press the attack button. Depending on your position and that of your opponents, your character will launch a corresponding special move. It is very easy to sting these maneuvers together and create devastating combinations. This concept keeps the action moving at a break-neck pace and things never seem to slow down; this means that you, as a player, are engaged literally from start to finish in a match.
The goal here is to keep the focus on the overall gameplay experience and not individual techniques or strategies. Players can effectively pick up and play as any of the characters on the roster without having to worry about being completely lost; sure, there is a bit of a learning curve required in terms of the strengths and strategies behind each character's arsenal, but the actual means of controlling them is the same across the board. Some may be more offense oriented while others may be all about turning your opponent's moves and momentum against them but they all allow you to jump right into the action and begin swinging for the fences with little trial and error. This method of gameplay should sound familiar to SSB fans as it is exactly what drives Nintendo's famous series. SuperBot isn't trying to reinvent the wheel here and because of that, they are able to hone in on the fine details that will make the experience memorable instead of trying to set a new standard in the realm of gameplay.
A roster with endless possibilities
Any fighting game fan will tell you, a fighter's roster is as important as nearly every other aspect of the game. Since we are in the third generation of the PlayStation (console) brand, there are plenty of viable candidates for the game's roster. SuperBot has definitely spanned the globe of possible contenders for their selections as the announced cast ranges from the obvious selections like Kratos and Cole MacGrath to incredibly obscure fan-favorites such as Sir Daniel Fortesque and Parappa the Rapper. The roster that I played with only consisted of 6 characters, the final version will include many, many more.
In addition to incorporating first-party characters, there are quite a few third-party characters being included who are arguably as important to the PlayStation brand's history as any of the in house personalities. The following lineup has been confirmed as of the beginning of September:
Big Daddy from BioShock
Cole MacGrath from Infamous
Colonel Radec from Killzone
Dante from Devil May Cry
Evil Cole MacGrath from Infamous
Fat Princess from Fat Princess
Heihachi Mishima from Tekken
Jak and Daxter from Jak and Daxter
Kratos from God of War
Nariko from Heavenly Sword
Nathan Drake from Uncharted
Parappa from PaRappa the Rapper
Raiden from Metal Gear
Ratchet and Clank from Ratchet & Clank
Sackboy from LittleBigPlanet
Sir Daniel Fortesque from MediEvil
Sly Cooper from Sly Cooper
Spike from Ape Escape
Sweet Tooth from Twisted Metal
Toro Inoue from Together Everywhere!
The diversity of this lineup is part of its strengths. What other game can you think of where you will see a glorified stuffed animal (Sackboy) facing off against a God from Mount Olympus (Kratos), a serial killer (Sweet Tooth), and a Japanese kitten (Toro), with their being no clear winner from the start. In this world, Sackboy and Toro have just as much of a chance of pulling off a victory as the fearsome brutes of Kratos and Sweet Tooth.
There are still more characters being revealed as we approach the game's release this coming November. The truth is that we have no idea, at this point, as to how many characters will round out the final roster. There are literally endless possibilities regarding who could be added at this point. there are a variety of PlayStation staples notably absent from the game thus far, including Lara Croft, Crash Bandicoot, and everyone' favorite spokesperson Kevin Butler. This should open the door for more surprises not only leading up to the game's release but also in terms of potential DLC support afterwards and for subsequent sequels to the game.
Worlds as lively as the cast
Just as the options for the game's roster are practically endless, so are the potential settings for the battles. SuperBot has just just as many, if not more, settings to choose from to use as the backdrop for these epic battles. They recognize this and are doing their best to make sure that the game's backgrounds are as lively and full of character as the playable roster. We aren't just talking about surprising locales, but making them as integral a part of the gameplay as the characters themselves.
For example, one of the stages of the game is set in the creation mode of Media Molecule's LittleBigPlanet series. It looks and feels like the creation mode of the original game, complete with someone adding in new features and elements as the match goes on. While you start off with a couple of platforms to bounce around on and use to your advantage, before long they are being terraformed and altered on the fly. It is just as if you were dropped into the world of someone's actual LBP game.
Before long, the LBP elements fade away and you find yourself on the stage of Sony's staple quiz game Buzz. This change of scenery doesn't just bring visual alterations to the game, but physical changes to the gameplay as well. Occasionally, the announced will pose a question to the players in the heat of battle and there will be answers posted on different platforms on the screen. You will only have a couple of seconds to respond and will be tasked with choosing an answer to the question being posed; those who fail to give the right response will find themselves on the receiving end of a devastating, AI-triggered trap.
It is this style of level design that keeps the game fresh and exciting match after match. considering that there are so many possibilities for source material, who knows what they will think of next. The levels also offer Superbot a chance to diversify the experience even further both leading up to and after launch. There is easily as much thought being put into their integration as every other aspect of the game.
Although my experience with the game was very brief, it left a huge impression on me. There is an element of fun found in PSASBR that is missing in a majority of modern releases. It is simple and addicting and I found myself less concerned with whether I won or lost and more concerned with getting back into the heat of battle. The net code that drives the game's online play was perfect, although being a beta test it wasn't really being stress tested, so things could change when you have the traffic increased exponentially. This is an easy game for both hardcore and casual gamers to pick up and get into and the accessibility offered by the game being on both the PS3 and Vita should only further that appeal. Something tells me that as long as people don't get hung up on comparing the game to Nintendo's fighting series, and focus more on the quality experience offered by the game, PSASBR is going to be a big success and one of this Holiday's smash hits!
PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale is scheduled to be released for the Playstation 3 and PlayStation Vita on November 20, 2012!

Historical settings and paintings formed an atmospheric backdrop for exhibitions on Gio Ponti, Venini and Foscarini during the Salone del Mobile in Milan.
News & Stories | Salone del Mobile 2011 – supported by Villeroy & Boch Tiles
We always remain authenticTwo years ago, Foscarini and Diesel presented their first luminaire collection. Initially, the joint venture struggled owing to the fallout from the global economic crisis, but now it is receiving feedback from a recovering market. Sandra Hofmeister spoke to Carlo Urbinati about luminaires between product design and fashion design.
The architects and designers at Claesson Koivisto Rune in Stockholm designed the interior of the Nobis Hotel in Stockholm.
The studio of Spanish designer Patricia Urquiola came up with the interior for luxurious hotel Mandarin Oriental in Barcelona. Scarcely recognizable as a hotel from the outside, inside it is all the more inviting, providing a temporary home for design enthusiasts from all over the world.
Salone del Mobile 2010 has been and gone. Which of the new designs will endure, and which will swiftly be forgotten? The Stylepark ABC of the most persuasive new products predicts what may that future may be.

iNUKE NU6000DSP
Ultra-Lightweight, High-Density 6000-Watt Power Amplifier with DSP Control and USB Interface
Ultra-Lightweight, High-Density 6000-Watt Power Amplifier with DSP Control and USB Interface
We spent years fine-tuning the high-density Class-D technology that gives the iNUKE Series its oomph. By carefully selecting transistors with extremely high slew rates and optimizing other proprietary parts of our circuitry, these amps react instantly to even the most demanding electronic bass impulses.
When this amazing amplifier technology is combined with our state-of-the-art switching-mode power supplies, these amplifiers provide tremendous punch. And because they are so much more efficient than conventional designs, they run cooler and don't require the massive heat sinks and heavy toroid transformers typically associated with their conventional counterparts.
The front panel controls and indicators provide your system's vital signs at a glance. After pressing the Power button, the Power LED lights to show the amp is ready for action. All channels feature positive-detent Gain controls with Signal LEDs that light when a signal is present, as well as Clip LEDs to indicate when the signal is distorted and you need to reduce the input signal.
The rear panel is just as elegant, with combo XLR and 1/4" TRS input connectors making the iNUKE compatible with virtually any source, balanced or unbalanced. Professional twist-lock speaker sockets are provided to ensure every drop of output power gets to your loudspeakers. The rear panel is also where you'll find the switches that enable iNUKE amps to work in either dual mono, stereo or mono bridge mode. A built-in Crossover switch enables the amp to operate in biamp mode, sending low frequency content to passive subwoofers, while the high-frequency output is channeled to fullrange loudspeakers (CH1>100 Hz / CH2<100 Hz or Fullrange).
For sound engineers requiring high-level control capability, iNUKE DSP Series amplifiers come ready for action right out-of-the-box. The built-in DSP and 24-bit/96 kHz converters ensure the ultimate signal integrity with an extremely broad dynamic range. DSP functions include a sophisticated delay for delay-line loudspeakers, crossover, EQ (eight parametric, two dynamic), and dynamics processing with lockable security settings. A convenient front panel LCD display allows you to setup and make adjustments directly at the amplifier, without the need for a PC. All iNUKE DSP models can also be set up, controlled and monitored via the front panel USB connector.Click to download the iNuke Remote Connect software.

It's more than just buildings
People need different places in which to live, work, play, learn, worship, shop, and eat. These places can be indoors or outdoors, big or small, quiet or loud, dark or light. These places can be by themselves (a farmhouse) or in a group (a city). An architect imagines spaces for all of life's activities and turns these ideas into drawings from which a builder can construct.
To become an architect, it is necessary to go to college and receive a professional degree in architecture. Depending on the program, this will take five to seven years. Contact the schools you are interested in to find out about their entrance requirements. At architecture school, you will be exposed to interesting ideas and learn to express and explore these ideas through drawing, model-building and three-dimensional computer modeling. Different schools have different emphases, so make sure to research and find ones that match your interests. Even after your college work is completed, you will not be able to call yourself an "architect" until you pass a licensing exam. Typically, you will first work for an architecture firm as an "intern" for at least three years. Once your internship is completed, you can take the exam. Most states require licensed architects to take continuing education classes to maintain their license and improve their knowledge and skills. The American Institute of Architects, a professional organization for architects, provides its members with educational seminars and other important resources.
The professional degree in architecture allows the graduate to pursue many different paths. Graduates may choose a traditional career as an architect or may decide to focus on only part of the process, such as building design, interior architecture, or construction technology. It is also possible to focus on only one building type, such as hospitals, schools, or houses. Others choose a related career as a project manager, building manager, building-products salespeople, or furniture designer. Those that like research and teaching may become professors.
If you are thinking of becoming an architect, it is never too early to visit an architect in your area to learn more about the profession. Architects often talk about the excitement of seeing their ideas and drawings become a building. They talk a lot about the satisfaction of finding creative solutions that meet the owner's needs. This satisfaction comes from the knowledge that many people will enjoy living, working or playing in the building they design. Their work is hard and they must continue to learn all the time, but they will tell you it's all worth the effort.
This information was created by the AIA Minnesota Architecture in the Schools Committee and is intended as a guide for students interested in a career in architecture. AIA Minnesota is a society of the American Institute of Architects and an advocate for the value of the architecture profession.

Some search for signs of spring through snow, coldFargo-Moorhead (WDAY TV) - If you've been outside today, you may not believe this: The first official day of Spring is tomorrow, according to the calendar.
Fargo-Moorhead (WDAY TV) - If you've been outside today, you may not believe this: The first official day of Spring is tomorrow, according to the calendar.
Looking at this picture you might believe it's from this time last year - Sun shining, blue skies - but let's get back to reality. Last year was the warmest March on record; this year? Below average.
People now have to plant their own green to see any sign of color.
Eric Baker – Baker Garden and Gift: "Some people are just coming in itching to get their hands dirty, if you will. Either it's starting seeds, or just picking up something that's green."
Eric Baker owner of Baker Garden and Gift says people are looking to buy anything to grow indoors - everything from colorful flowers to juicy tomatoes.
Eric Baker: "A lot of times they just need that sign of spring, and you know the quintessential sign of spring for some people are tulips, are a memory trigger, daffodils to a certain extent, but they typically just want to get, if it's just a small germinated something."
This time last year people were hitting off the grass, but this year the turf will have to do.
Nicki Almquist – Ready for Spring: "We're pretending it's spring."
Nicki Almquist came to the Sports Bubble to make believe she and her friends were outside in the warm sun playing a round of golf just like they were last year.
Nicki Almquist: "We would really like to be out playing, but here we are, getting ready, doing the best we can."
Jeff Olson – Sports Bubble: "You know lower 60's when you're swinging a club, that's a pretty good temperature, but it's a wide open space with the green, so it gets people thinking they're outside."
Sports Bubble owner Jeff Olson says the weather isn't the only thing that's different this year.
Jeff Olson: "Our business has been significantly higher this year compared to last year."
So whether you're wishing for tulips or praying for golf courses to open up, it seems like we'll just have to fake spring….for now.
Today, we are 20 degrees below the average temperature.

The Mother Lode
The tropics are renowned bastions of biodiversity. But scientists are finding that our own backyard rivals the rainforests as they uncover dozens of new species each year in Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
How the Smokies' rich assemblage of flora and fauna got there and why in many instances it's thriving involve ancient climate change and topography. Before the great melt of the last ice age began about 10,000 years ago, glaciers pushed far to the south across North America. While stopping just short of plunging the southern Appalachians into a deep freeze, they herded countless avian, mammalian, reptilian, amphibian, insect, and even plant species ahead of them toward warmer, more hospitable habitats. When the ice flows retreated, those species stayed behind, finding refuge in the Smokies. Some that now thrive in the cooler climate near the park's roof, such as velvet-leafed blueberry and the spruce-fir forest, are more typically found hundreds of miles north.
Setting out from the lush valley of Cades Cove, it's an arduous up-mountain, five-mile hike along a trail worn by generations of feet to Spence Field, a clearing atop the park's spine just below 5,441-foot-tall Rocky Top. From here my eyes sweep out across an undulating mountain range that trends northeast to southwest. This tilt allowed species to move south ahead of the glaciers and find new habitats that suited their needs. Had the mountains been stretched more fully east to west, they likely would have blocked this ecological escape and a lot of species might have been lost to the ice age. Instead, many of them are alive and well in the Smokies, particularly in the section protected within the national park's borders.
This bulldozing of life left the landscape with tree species in numbers equal to or exceeding all those of Europe, and nearly 1,600 flowering plant species. Even though scientists have been digging deeper and deeper into the park's aquatic and terrestrial landscapes, the overall richness and depth of biodiversity remains to be fully understood. The ATBI has so far identified about 9,000 species; scientists speculate the park could have as many as 100,000.
Trying to grasp all the measures of life--native and nonnative--within the park's borders has been intense. The inventory has revealed the obvious species: the black bears, white-tailed deer, and elk. It has also unearthed life-forms that, while out of sight, help keep the overall ecosystem in balance. Though bugs, bacteria, and fungi tend to be afterthoughts when you consider the elements of a healthy ecosystem, they are among the key drivers here. They pollinate plants; keep the organisms they parasitize in check; feed birds, reptiles, fish, and amphibians; and, in the case of worms and other soil dwellers, cultivate the park's loamy foundation.
They also can be pests, which makes it valuable from an economic perspective to understand them. That's what brought Gary Steck to the Smokies in 1999. A taxonomic entomologist for the Florida Department of Agriculture, Steck's interest lies in, among other things, fruit flies: apple maggot flies, cherry maggot flies, blueberry maggot flies, and hundreds of others.
In eight years Steck and his colleagues have expanded the roster of fruit flies in the Smokies from 10 species to more than 50. "Every time we go we come up with something astounding," says Steck, who recalls one trip that seemed to be a bust until a last-second stop yielded a fruit fly whose day-to-day existence was unknown. "A lot of these astounding finds we made were things that may have been known from as few as three or four specimens in museums. They had never been collected or described. And some of these, it turns out, are actually abundant in the park. So what you find is that while they were seemingly rare, once you know where to find them, they're not rare at all."
Better understanding the flies' ecology, such as the range of plants they thrive on, can help agriculturalists combat the insects. "It's a big problem we face in Florida," explains Steck. "A lot of these fruit flies have extremely broad host plant capabilities, so that they can attack not just citrus, for example, but maybe dozens or even hundreds of other fruits. So knowing about alternate host plants is really important."
Some species that have turned up in the park have been on earth for so long that it's surprising so little is known about them. Take, for example, water mites, which have been around for 250 million years. An aquatic relative to terrestrially rooted spiders, most of us have unknowingly encountered water mites as we've walked through ponds, lakes, and streams. "If you realized how much stuff was in [the water], you wouldn't step in again," jokes Andrea Radwell, whose forays into Great Smokies waters have led to dozens of discoveries. "But we're not prey. They don't bother us. They're microscopically small and they prey on insects--and thank goodness. You look at the number of insects that emerge from rivers, and it would just be an uninhabitable planet if they all hatched out. Mites are controlling their populations."
A rich aquatic stretch, when it comes to water mites, is Twin Creek, a gurgling, mossy, boulder-chocked, and densely shaded stream a short walk from the park's science center. With more than 2,100 miles of streams overall, Great Smoky is amply populated with water mites. Sixty genera have been documented so far, and almost every major genus that occurs worldwide has turned up here.

Pinnacle Real Estate Advisors, LLC has been named a 2014 Top Broker Firm by National Real Estate Investor (NREI). Nationally, it was another robust year for commercial real estate brokerage firms.

Pinnacle Real Estate Advisors ranked 40th nationally in the National Real Estate Investor's 2014 Top Broker survey, with a global transaction volume of $291,968,496. In order to be selected as a top firm, a survey was done asking brokerage firms to provide their total dollar volume of sale and lease transactions. They are then ranked against other commercial brokerage firms on a national level.

By: National Real Estate Investment, David Bodamer
It was another year of robust growth for commercial real estate brokerage firms. Increases in investment sales and leasing activity enabled many of the firms on our list to grow their transaction volumes by 15 percent or more, with some firms experiencing particularly robust growth rates.
The top dog on our list remains CBRE Group Inc. It is the 11th consecutive year that CBRE has lead the industry in total transaction volume. The firm reported a total volume of $233.30 billion in 2013, a 17.7 percent increase over 2012's figure of $189.80 billion. That leaves it more than $60 billion ahead of its closest competitor, the newly re-christened JLL. However, JLL nearly tripled CBRE's growth rate in 2013. The firm reported $162.12 billion in total transactions, up 48.9 percent over 2012's total of $108.91 billion. Meanwhile, the number three firm on the list, Cushman & Wakefield, saw its volume grow from $88.40 billion 2012 to $115.00 billion in 2013, a growth rate of 30.1 percent.
Newmark Grubb Knight Frank and Colliers International round out our top five, but the two firms swapped positions from last year. Newmark Grubb Knight Frank was able to leapfrog Colliers thanks to a 19.5 percent increase in its transaction volume, from $69.84 billion to $83.43 billion. Colliers had more modest growth, rising 5.6 percent from $71.20 billion in 2012 to $75.15 billion in 2013.

So you've finally changed your life around and have begun to enjoy a healthy way of living. You're used to jumping out of bed every morning and going out for a brisk walk (or whatever other workout that you love), eat a nice, healthy and nutritious breakfast and then get on with getting things done the rest of the day.
However your friends and family are still used to sleeping well into the morning, waking up and struggling to get down to the coffee shop after which they come back home to watch TV all day or go to work where they struggle to get the minimum amount of work done.
But they've seen you change for the better and now are asking for help to get them to live a more active and healthy lifestyle in order that they may get more out of life like you are.
And while this may feel great to know that your friends and family want to live like you, the reality is that it can be a really big struggle to motivate them to get up and do the things that you tell them to do.
To help you get your friends and family on the right track without you ending up wanting to chew your own hand off, here are some tips to help you out:
1. Never Give Advice Unless You're Asked
Yes, it is true that you may be bursting full of energy and wanting to share this new way of life with all your friends and family in the hope that they too jump on board, but believe me you should never part with advice unless you are asked to do so. Nobody likes that one friend who keeps begging them to join them in their new healthy way of life.
This isn't motivating at all and will just strain your friendship for the worse. You will likely end up losing your mate, and you will not have even motivated him to get healthier in the process.
2. Be The Example
The truth is that your friend will only ever come to you for advice if they know that you have already achieved what it is they want to accomplish in the area of health and fitness.
You should then actually play this to your advantage. Be the best example of a healthy individual so that you can inspire your friend even more.
A good example of this is when you go out to a local restaurant with your friends and family. Instead of ordering something that is terrible for your health, order the healthiest option off the menu. This will encourage your friend or family member further and make them want to move toward your way of life.
You see the more you show your friends and family that being healthy doesn't mean you are compromising on the quality of your life, the more likely it is they will come on board with you.
3. Pay Attention
The truth is that we would be living in heaven if people just told you exactly what they were thinking. But the reality is that we live in a world where most of your friends and family will never directly ask for you health advice.
Instead they are more than likely to start poking questions here and there about your new lifestyle. Wanting to know exactly what you eat, when you eat, where you go gym, how often you work out etc.
When you hear your friends and family ask these sorts of questions you should take this as a signal that they are interested in improving their way of life. This means you should start to give them specific advice on how they can improve certain areas of their own life in order to get into great shape.
4. Share The Struggle
The reality is that you were not born a fitness guru but instead you slowly but surely over a long period of time have taken enough consistent action to get the results you want.
In reality your journey was not a smooth one. No journey ever is, and there will have been points where you were on the verge of giving up, but somehow you mustered enough energy to keep plodding on.
Whatever it is that you did to keep going that is what you need to share with your friends and family. Don't do them the injustice of only sharing your successes, making it look all easy because this will only make them want to give up that much easier when they are on their own weight loss journey.
Show them that the beauty of losing weight is in the struggle.
Not only will your friends and family love you that much more because everyone loves that guy or gal who is able to keep going regardless of the obstacles that they face, but they will appreciate that you are honest with them in what they have to do in order to get results.
5. Become a Source Of Knowledge
Once your friends or family are ready to get on board and start living a more healthier life then you need to get in there and share all the advice you think will help out… but ensure that you are subtle about it.
Don't feel that you have to be the only source of knowledge that they have access to. Instead give them different sources of knowledge that you feel will be able to help them further, such as this site
While there are literally 10's of millions of health and fitness blogs out there it is really important that you guide them to those resources that will help them understand the importance of living a healthy lifestyle and exactly what they need to do in order to get results.
6. Remain Positive
While pain and suffering is a great little motivator to keep a person on the right track to losing weight, it only really works when it's given by a health professional such as a doctor. If your doctor were to tell your friend that he needs to lose weight or he will be dead in a year, then it is very likely that your friend will jump into action immediately.
But when it comes to you giving advice, it is best if you remain positive at all times.
You should encourage your friends and family by helping them understand and acknowledge all the great benefits that they experience when they eat healthy and exercise on a regular basis. Such as that of having a lot of energy throughout the day, or perhaps relate to them the feeling of how amazing it will be to get into those pair of jeans you haven't been able to fit in for 10 years.
The truth is having a positive attitude when it comes to health is the best way you can keep your friends motivated and on the right track.
7. Be Sure To Celebrate
So your friend or family member finally took your advice and began to take massive action every single day. They kept up the consistent effort and finally they have been able to get their life to come around. They are living and breathing a healthy way of life. They finally achieved what they wanted, so be sure to celebrate their victory.
Now you don't have to go all out and become extravagant or anything, just a few simple words of encouragement and a meal is a nice way to celebrate your friends or families success.
So there you have it some useful tips that will help to motivate any of your friends and family that are interested in living a healthier lifestyle.

Power from the fairway, versatility from the rough – the PING Men's G25 TFC Fairway makes a great addition to any golf bag. Extreme variable-thickness face allows for enhanced energy transfer for faster ball speeds and more distance. The low-profile design positioned the center of gravity low/back for higher launching shot and superior forgiveness. A traditional head shape instills confidence at address and the matte black crown reduces glare so you can focus on your next shot.

Ken Murphy from Hillsboro, OH | 4/17/2014 9:09 AM
Still getting used to the fairway woods but they are coming around and learning how to hit them. Old clubs I used were metal shafts but when I do hit these new fairway woods they do go.
BHC from Elizabeth City, NC | 4/14/2014 3:05 PM
I bought the Ping G25 3 wood 15 after hitting my uncle's twice. Seriously, thats how long it takes to figure out it is the real deal. Shots hit low on the clubface still provide a high launch angle and the ball just stays in the air. I love it.
Lucas Conzet from Plymouth, MN | 2/27/2014 9:16 PM
I haven't got it on the course yet, but it's felt sweet in the range. Love this club already.

A 3wood that I can finally use
Fitted from Illinois, IL | 6/3/2013 10:25 PM
I didn't buy this from golf galaxy but I thought I should throw this out there. I've always had problems hitting 3 woods off the deck. I went to a demo day and tried every 15* wood available. Same results, could not get enough height. Started trying everything 16 &17* and this club at 16.5* was by far the best one I tried all day. From the set up to the feel and sound. I was getting 230-240 consistently. I've let a couple friends try it and now they have one in there bag. Highly recommend!

Multicultural Greek Organizations
Multicultural Greek Council Organizations
The Multicultural Greek Council is comprised of the city-wide fraternities and sororities associated with the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC). The Multicultural Greek Council serves as the liaison between the city-wide chapters and Saint Louis University. Each university that has student representation in the city-wide chapters has their own process for working with the organizations. The MGC provides the opportunity for recognition and an overall presence of city-wide chapters on SLU's campus. Chapters interested in hosting events on SLU's campus must work with the Multicultural Greek Council and follow the process outlined in the constitution and bylaws.
What is a City-Wide Chapter?
The historically Black Greek-letter fraternities and sororities in St. Louis are city-wide chapters with the exception of Sigma Gamma Rho. City-wide chapters provide students the opportunity to recruit and initiate members from any university or college in the St. Louis Metropolitan area. The city-wide chapters operates individually under one constitution and bylaws, has their own elected officers and are chartered and recognized by the individual organization's international headquarters.

Wildlife viewing opportunities abound in Bella Coola.
The Bella Coola Valley supports a truly rich environmental habitat ranging from rivers, estuaries, old-growth forests and provincial parks to mountains, glaciers, waterfalls and more.
A huge number of animals make their homes here, so encounters are common. Check out the fish hatchery or get right in the water and snorkel with the salmon. Take a bear watching tour, and don't forget to look up to see the area's diverse bird life.
For fish fans, the area's rivers and streams are teeming with life. Visit Bella Coola during the right part of summer (mid-July to mid-August) and take a fascinating "Snorkel with the Salmon" tour. Kynoch Adventure Tours equips visitors with wet suits and takes day-trippers right into the water to swim and snorkel with the spawning salmon. Guides are expert river guides and fisheries biologists, and the tour is one of only a couple offered within BC.
Read More
For those seeking more information on the local fishlife, free daily guided tours are offered at the local Fish Hatchery, just 9 kilometers east of Bella Coola. See eggs harvested, feed the fry or watch the tiny fish receive their "mark," which identifies them as hatchery-raised.
For a more diverse wildlife experience, a number of companies offer drift guiding on the Atnarko and Bella Coola rivers from late August to late September, when the bears and eagles can be found along the shoreline feasting on the abundance.
Alternately, hire a guide for short day-hikes and look for a range of locals – from the powerful grizzly and black bears, to foxes, deer and mountain goats. Bear watching is incredibly popular within Bella Coola and a number of guided tours are offered in the area. Increasingly rare and also dangerous, locals also have spotted mountain lions/cougars within the valley.
Seasoned hikers may opt for a self-guided trip and a comprehensive Bella Coola Valley Trail Guide can be picked up at the Visitor Information Booth in town. The guide contains descriptions and maps of the most popular trails.

2 Wildlife Tours in Bella Coola
Join our tours with professional biologists to float tranquil rivers in search of wild grizzly & black bears. We may also see eagles, salmon, & other wildlife roaming & feeding in coastal streams & inlets from our expedition rafts & boats or on our ecological walking tours searching for grizzly bears. For a family friendly tour & something a little different & exciting, try our eco-rafting tours.
Kynoch Adventures & Bella Coola Mountain Lodge provide premier sustainable wildlife & wilderness tours throughout Bella Coola Valley & can arrange full itineraries including accommodation, meals, transfers & tours. From our beautiful lodge, to the majestic scenery & wildlife, BC's central-coast will be the highlight of your holiday.
More Details
Our Grizzly Bear Tours have been selected by the Canadian Tourism Commission as part of their "Signature Experiences Collection"! Our tours run September through October. This is when the local rivers are teeming with salmon which draw the Grizzly Bears hoping to fatten up for the winter. At this time of year the Grizzlies are intent on fishing and are more tolerant of both other bears and people and are therefore much easier to observe.
Accompanied by an experienced guide, our non-motorized drift trips are the perfect way to see the bears and wildlife of the Bella Coola Valley.

The Golden Age of Botanical Art - book of the month
Kew's 'Book of the month' is The Golden Age of Botanical Art, by Martyn Rix. Read on to discover more about this fantastic new book, published by Andre Deutsch in association with the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

This has to be the prize garden gift for 2012.Tim Richardson, The Telegraph, 24 November 2012
From ancient frescoes to the studies produced by the plant hunters of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, portrayals of plants have long held a fascination for all those who love nature. The Golden Age of Botanical Art is a lavish new book that explores and celebrates this phenomonon.
Beautifully illustrated with images from Kew's Library, Art and Archives
Highlighting the classic work of the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries, and beautifully illustrated with over 250 rare, or previously unpublished, images from Kew's Library, Art and Archives, The Golden Age of Botanical Art brings together the stories of brave and intrepid explorers (some of whom became botanical artists by default) and the many professional artists who recorded for posterity the flora discovered on their expeditions.
About the author
Martyn Rix is a botanist and the Editor of Curtis's Botanical Magazine, and has an unrivalled knowledge of botanical art. With a PhD in Botany from the University of Cambridge, he has worked at the University Botanic Garden in Zurich and at the RHS Garden, Wisley, and has made many expeditions to different parts of the world, to collect new plants for gardens.
Martyn is the author or co-author of a number of books, including the highly acclaimed The Botanical Garden.
A global story of botanical art
Truly global in its scope, this fascinating history of botanical art crosses centuries and continents looking at the artistry of China and India, delving into the sketchbooks of globetrotting men and women and following the voyages of those who discovered new species and new worlds as far apart as Africa and South America, whether they were hardened scientists or intrepid Victorian ladies.
Including features on key figures – from Leonardo da Vinci to the artists of Empress Josephine Bonaparte – The Golden Age of Botanical Art shows that what might have been a gentle pastime for some in fact made a significant contribution to our understanding of the world and the glories of nature.

they fixed it after i came on here and pointed out that they were lost in (cyber) space...that's geezer power, baby.
"cyber Space" ---- "Geezer Power" --- ??? --- I always suspitioned that Carlos was onea them ET kinda gize --- a nice one though.
I thought they called them gize from Indiana "Hooters", or is it "hooshers" ???
Think us Kentucky Briars say hoozyers, or maybe who's-yurs.
What's muscle memory? At my age, I it's hard to remember having muscles, or memory.
Hmmmmm --- kinda sounds ta me like the real Indianian should stand up n' clear up this confused dalemma --- Herd tell from someone else they call themselfs "Hosiers" ??? I dunno ???
hard to believe that two yokels hailing from states such as KY and GA would have the audacity to throw around caustic comments about the great state of Indiana...the best thing to ever come out of KY had four legs and ran around in circles trying to get away from the other oat burners...as for GA, well, i've thought long and hard about it and about the only thing i can come up with is the ASA...and how the ASA wound up in that red muck state is beyond me cause it was before my time. shucks, GA can't even raise peaches anymore...they gave up and went to blueberries! HA! who'd pick a little ol' blueberry over a delicious, juicy peach? i guess those pretty lassies from GA are no longer going to be Georgia Peaches...now they're gonna be Georgia Blueberries...i predict an exodus of cuties from Georgia more a friendly environment that will appreciate their beauty. i will have to concede that GA does seem to have cornered the market on nasty red dirt.
now, about KY...for the most part the locals there all have one leg shorter than the other from having to walk on the side of those slag piles...seems that Mr. Peabody's coal train done hauled it away. can you say Hatfield and McCoys?
and while we're at it, IL has chicago and springfield which pretty much explains why that state is in such a dumpster...if the rest of that state was half way smart they'd secede and become part of the great state of Indiana! then they could root for winners like N.D. and I.U.
let's see...yeah that about does it...i've done my best to set the record straight for you yokels...Indiana is truly the land of milk and honey...our cup runneth over with goodness and rightousness. as for "Hoosiers" we got that name from the movie.
Yep, I could have told you that Carlosii would go on and on about Kentucky, but will always refrain from ever admitting that secret admiration he has for those Wildcats, Corvettes, some of the finer Kentucky beverages, fried chicken, and also some very fine and talented, elderly Archers.
