edit: Gotta love the fist post
With Halloween closing in fast, Patrick returns to the abyss with a more recent favorite, and probably plays more Clock Tower SNES. Also Minecraft. Sort of.
I probably shouldn't have watched that TMNT trailer before recording this feature.
Jeff's going to need more than a red box to fend off SEVEN other players all vying for a single glowy ball.
The real Dark Souls 2 apparently started back over there and things have become pretty dang tough.
We head into the darkness without a map. It works out great!
Nowhere in this video did I see a single Portillo's location. Truly, this is a place of dystopic nightmare.
This is something someone might possibly want, I guess.
Vinny and Brad join Jeff on his caprine quest to vacate various puzzle places.
Well, this certainly does strike a different tone than that last video.
Brad and Vinny sneak, shoot, and shank with all the colors of the wind. Well, ONE color, at least.
It's not always gonna go your way, buddy.
This is great. This is all so great.
Can I just make a series of deadly traps that's nothing but rakes to step on, à la Sideshow Bob?
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga! Metroid Fusion! Advance Wars! Yoshi's Island! And several more!
Oh, El Presidente. Even your nonsensical parodies still make me smile.
Brad says "bonjour" to the Xbox One and PS4's wacky exclusive missions.
It's springtime so all the souls Jeff planted in 2012 are ready for the... scythe of his mouse button?
We were so close. But...
Things get a little misty as we catch up, embrace, and talk about Dark Souls 2, GDC, inFamous, and more.
I really don't know if I trust this dude with firearms.
And some new, painful-looking wrecks as well.
The blood and puns never stop flowing in this zombified installment of the storied ninja franchise.
Plus, new song announcements! Including tracks from David Bowie, Lorde, Nicki Minaj, and The White Stripes.
I don't know that I completely understand what this is yet, but it sounds...ambitious?
Use your keyboard!

Comments On Feb 05, 2014:The sock is very comfy a little on the thick side, but makes your boots fit more snug for a comfortable fit. I'm on my second pair the only complaint is I start to get holes in the toes a little early and they tend to slide down more than others.

Comments On Oct 18, 2013:Comfy socks that I wore all day in my Tech 8s. Awesome support and cushioning and they didn't slide down my leg AT ALL. Even comfy enough to wear with my street shoes after a day of riding. Good thing I got two pairs, I might need to get a couple more though.

Florida Gators vs. Arkansas Razorbacks Pick
The Florida Gators are starting to turn some heads with their dominance of the SEC. The Gators are up to second in the college basketball rankings, and they are getting quite a few votes for the number one spot. No one in the SEC has even been much of a challenge for the Gators, but Arkansas will look to change that on Tuesday night. Let's take a look at this SEC matchup.

Lhasa is a Free Software replacement for the Unix LHA tool, for decompressing .lzh (LHA/LHarc) and .lzs (LArc) archives. The backend for the tool is a library, so it can be reused for other purposes. Lhasa aims to be compatible with as many types of lzh/lzs archives as possible. It also aims to generate the same output as the (non-free) Unix LHA tool, so it will act as a drop-in free replacement.
minidb is a Python module that utilizes the SQLite3 database library in order to store and retrieve Python objects. It utilizes Python's __slots__ mechanism to determine the column names, and uses the class name for table names. Data is always stored as text in the database, but will be converted using the type specified in __slots__ (which therefore has to be a dict).
Simulated annealing is a computational algorithm for optimization. It mimics the physical process of thermal annealing in which a metal is heated and then slowly cooled to settle into a highly ordered crystal structure. For common metals, the lowest energy state is already known. But the method is useful for other problems where the best state is not known and exhaustively searching all possible states is impractical. The method is applied by modeling the problem as a physical system with structure, energy, and temperature. This Python module implements simulated annealing so that it can be easily applied to a variety of problems. An example program is include to perform simulated annealing of the traveling salesman problem.

A strange thing is happening on the way to the commodity collapse. It's the most powerful rally that has been seen for months. This is occurring across the London Metal Exchange (LME) metals complex.
The breakout patterns seen with aluminum reflect the same patterns seen in lead, zinc, copper and tin. The breakout in aluminum is the most developed. Many LME metals are moving in a similar way, but aluminum is most advanced so it gives guide for other developments. It has these three features.
First is the change in the relationship in the components of the Guppy Multiple Moving Averages (GMMA) indicator. This indicator tracks the implied behavior of investors and traders. The short term group of averages in blue track trader behavior. Compression shows agreement about price and value and hints at a change in trend.
The same applies to the long term group of averages, but investors are slower to change their opinion. The GMMA on the chart shows the classic pattern of test and retest of the strength of the downtrend. Each time the short term GMMA moves deeper into the long term GMMA, setting up the conditions for a breakout.
The power and stability of the breakout is confirmed when the long term GMMA compresses showing investor agreement on value and price. This happens quickly, and the long term group is now moving upwards. This shows a change in investor opinion.
The key test will be when the rally for LME aluminum retreats from initial resistance near $2,020 per tonne and retests support near $1,930. This is also the value of the upper edge of the long term GMMA. A move above $2,020 has upside target near $2,070.
The second feature is the triple bottom that developed between June and August. This is a powerful reversal feature that added to the probability of a sustainable breakout. This is an end of downtrend consolidation pattern, developing just at the time when many people were calling for a downtrend continuation in commodity prices.
The third feature is the broad consolidation pattern that developed as the market moved sideways. The width of the consolidation pattern is measured, and the value projected upwards to give the first breakout targets. This projection gives a target near $2,020. This combination of projection targets and historical resistance suggests this level will act as a retreat feature.
However, the strength of the GMMA breakout suggests that any retreat is an entry opportunity for traders who want to take long side positions in anticipation of the trend continuation.
Not every metal traded on the LME shows exactly the same behavior. However the GMMA relationships are repeated and they confirm a commodity rebound. The sustainability of the rebound is unknown, but the change in the behavior of the long term GMMA – in investors' expectations – suggest a sustainable trend breakout.

"This card was beautiful. Everyone loved it! I used it as a thank you/birth announcement for my 2 month old christening and for family/freinds who had given us a gift when he was born. I included pictures on the front of my 2 month old by himself and two pictures on the back with his big brother. I like the square sized card. As well added the shimmer. Looks elegant. Love the card and love working with tiny prints.i included a picture because when I read reviews I enjoy seeing the product the customer actual has in hand."
"Everything was perfect about this card... Colors, design, photo and paper quality... It was flawless. I ordered the cut-out design and it was gorgeous! I only gave 4 stars for delivery because I wish the production time was a little quicker, but overall this is a great product from a great company! Would highly recommend to anyone!"
"This birth announcement was a huge hit with family and friends. The print was beautiful and turned out exactly as it looked on the computer. The pictures also look incredible. I have to admit that we did use "professional" photos in ours.... a hospital-based photographer visited us while we were still in the hospital to snap our photos. This made choosing the pictures very easy. We chose an up-close, color photo for the main picture at the top, and we chose two black and white photos for the bottom (one of our son's little feet and the other of his head being held in my husband's hands). I'm so glad I went with this card."
"Easy to modify, select pictures and choose fonts. We received lots of compliments from friends & family. In fact, the finished product was so gorgeous that my husband framed a copy for his desk at work! We are very satisfied and will definitely recommend Tiny Prints to our friends."
"I absolutely loved this product. The pearl finish gives it a very elegant touch, and I'm glad they offer that option. Personalizing was very simple and self-explanatory. Check-out process was smooth. My only complaint is that you don't get to review once it's in the cart. Unless I overlooked it. I like to double check that the info is correct before I submit the order. Other than that, the product is beautiful and I can't wait to start sending them out!"

Traditional ceviche consists of raw seafood tossed with an acidic marinade (think: citrus juice or vinegar) that "cooks" the fish. We cook the shrimp before marinating it. This recipe originally appeared on Emeril Green, Emeril Lagasse's cooking show on Planet Green. Lagasse has his own brand of frozen wild American shrimp, which meet strict U.S. environmental standards. The shrimp taste sweet and "they just smell like the sea," according to Emeril. Serve this with tostones (fried plantain chips) or tortilla chips. (Recipe courtesy of Emeril Lagasse, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc.)

Bauhaus-sleek hilltop hotel in Manuel Antonio's wilderness
enjoying the views from every level of the amazing infinity-edge pool.
From Brad Pitt to Madonna, celebrities flock to Costa Rica for
its castaway beaches, rugged scenery and laid-back vibe. And
nowhere captures the untouched beauty of this tiny Central American
nation more than Gaia Hotel & Reserve, situated on the west
coast. Surrounded by dense, wildlife-packed jungle (exotic birds
and butterflies, rare monkeys), this boutique retreat is
fashionable, friendly and offers heaps of fun. The contemporary
rooms are all white, wood and wicker, with big beds, dreamy
bathrooms and show-stopping views of the volcanic mountains,
sparkling Pacific and Manuel Antonio National Park that's home to
189 species of mammal and 184 different birds. The panorama drama
continues from the tiered infinity pools, linked by a waterfall.
Adventure is high on the agenda: think canopy tours, dolphin
watching, 4x4 off-roading, diving and river rafting, while a hot
stone massage in the Terra Spa complete with live nature
soundtrack, is soporific heaven. For those partial to a game of
tennis or two, a nearby court is available just a short free
shuttle ride away. Mind you, you won't want to sleep through
supper. La Luna restaurant serves up inventive local-international
dishes (try the sautéed chicken with tequila-lime cream and angel
hair pasta) and at Ambar Lounge you'll find top-notch tapas. And
the icing on the cake? More of those eye-popping views.

Curtis Granderson's thank you to Kevin Long
When the Yankees pulled the trigger on three-team trade that brought Curtis Granderson to patrol centerfield, the big question was whether Granderson could hit lefties. The concerns were legitimate as in 2009, in his last season with the Tigers, despite being a 30-homer hitter, against lefties he hit just .183 with two homers and nine RBI.
Granderson's struggles continued through the first half of 2010 with the Yanks:
You can see that there were very few hot spots as Granderson struggled against lefties hitting .207 and slugging .287.
But to his credit, in August, as he was benched, he started working with Kevin Long, the increasingly respected hitting coach for the Yanks.
Take a look at the difference in the first half of this season:
By taking that step closer to the plate, closing his stance and keeping both hands on the bat through his swing, Granderson is having an All-Star season. Just against lefties he is hitting .273, and slugging .648, with nine homers. Granderson still takes constant batting practice against and if he is looking for a thank you present for Long, perhaps a framed picture of this heat map would be perfect.

It has been three decades since Mount St. Helens blew, but the event still fascinates - and defines - Southwest Washington. Read our May 19, 1980, story here.
If a screenwriter had written a character like Harry Truman into the script of a volcano movie, it would have been scorned as a contrived and low-budget idea. But there he was, in the flesh, as chiseled as the bark of an old-growth fir, liquored up by his whiskey-and-Cokes, and defiant right to the day he was entombed by the guts of the mountain whose shadow he refused to leave.
These are the 57 people who lost their lives in the May 18, 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens.
The May 18, 1980, eruption of Mount St. Helens was more than just a major news story for the staff of The Columbian. It carried a painful personal toll. Fay Blackburn lost her husband, and The Columbian lost one of its own.

This is a beautiful hand-drawn art of a dove flying from the trinity symbol that reminds us of the freedom and grace found in God. The word "Faith" and the quote "My Grace is sufficient" wraps around. The NOTW logo appears from the faith because we walk by faith. We need His grace not only for salvation, but everyday! The "T" in "sufficient" makes a cross to remind us that Jesus dying on the cross was enough.

SPOILER! :The year is 485 Anno Domini. About seventy years ago, when your grandfather was alive, the Supreme Collegium or High Council of Britain chose a native leader, known as Emperor Constantin, to rule the island. He reigned well in difficult times, and in 440 his son Constans succeeded him. A few years later, Constans was killed, and the throne was assumed by a man named Vortigern.
At that time, a massive Pictish and Irish invasion threatened the entire island until Vortigern hired a small mercenary army of Saxon warriors. Victory was not enough, though, and, inflamed by lust, Vortigern married the daughter of the Saxon King Hengest. Vortigern also brought warlike leaders from the north and settled them around the western coasts to defend against Irish invaders. But Vortigern was tyrannical and not well loved.
Soon, many eastern lords of Britain rebelled against their new king, but they were crushed and their lands given to his Saxon allies. Vortigern's own son led another rebellion, and, though temporarily successful, he was killed in battle just 23 years ago. Then, during the infamous "Night of the Long Knives," the Saxons betrayed Vortigern, slaying nearly all the British leadership. The island suffered greatly as Vortigern himself came under the rule of his erstwhile Saxon allies.
When your father was a young knight, in the year 466, Aurelius Ambrosius, eldest son of Constantin, landed with an army from Brittany. Immediately, the people of Britain literally flocked to his banner, a magical standard that depicted a great red dragon. Vortigern fled and took refuge in northwestern Cambria. It was there that the child sage Merlin prophesied the fate of Britain. Aurelius Ambrosius overcame the Saxons and then Vortigern himself, and was named High King. He was called the "high king," or Pendragon, in part because of the great battle banner he bore.
During his reign, Aurelius Pendragon defeated new invasions by Saxons and even led a fleet to ravage the coasts of the Saxon and Frisian lands, suppressing further invasions for years. But when he marched against a combined Saxon and Irish army five years ago, in 480, he was treacherously poisoned, and died. His brother, Uther, led the army instead and gained victory. The grateful nobles then named Uther to be the next High King, the new Pendragon.
Uther has been a successful king thus far, quashing all rebellion, defeating Irish rebels and Saxon invaders alike. Last year he snatched victory from defeat with a surprise night raid that brought most of the northern kings under his rule.
Now, in 485, news has come that more Saxons are gathering in far Saxony to come to the aid of their kinsmen in Britain. The preparations for yet more war are building, and the noble British knights prepare once again to defend the realm under their courageous Pendragon.
SPOILER! :The rules and laws of feudalism govern the world of Pendragon.
Feudalism begins with the belief that everything belongs to the king, as highest lord of the land. All rights derive from the king, who has distributed some of his rights and responsibilities among his lords; they, in turn, distribute some of these rights and responsibilities to their knights.
Followers swear fealty to their lord, and afterwards are known as vassals of that lord. The lord ensures the loyalty of his favored followers by giving them land, the single most valuable and permanent commodity in the realm. To receive gold is a slightly dubious honor, since even a peasant can be bribed with gold. However, a transfer of land is sacred.
Two types of land transfer are common:
• A gift is given for the duration of the recipient's life but upon death reverts to the lord.
• A grant is given for the life of the recipient and his heirs.
A vassal does not really own the land he is given, but he does own all the granted benefits collected from that land. The vassal may receive a grant in return for loyalty and services. As long as the knight's obligations are satisfied, the benefits are legally his and cannot be justly taken away. Typically, a knight's obligations are to serve loyally in his lord's military campaigns and to advise his lord on important matters. In return, the lord owes his vassal protection, sustenance, and livelihood. If the vassal rescued the king on the battlefield, he might receive his former gift as a permanent grant. If the knight violates his loyalty, he can lose the land he has of the lord. Typical reasons for land to revert to the lord include treason, failure to support the lord, or the lack of an heir when the grant holder dies. Daughters may inherit their father's grants only if there are no male heirs.
Britain is divided into five areas: Logres, Cambria, Cumbria, Pictland, and Cornwall. Logres is by far the most important. Furthermore, several Saxon kingdoms inhabit the eastern coastal regions.
Logres is the lowland region of Britain previously ruled by the Romans, who established many great cities. Your character's county, Salisbury, is located here.
The County of Salisbury
Salisbury is one of the most interesting places in Arthurian legend. It is one of the most densely populated areas. Many interesting places are here, as well, such as Stonehenge, most famous of the ancient monuments. Many interesting landmarks are nearby, especially the dozens of prehistoric mounds, stone circles, and the unusual White Horse. Salisbury County, proper, consists of all the holdings of the Earl of Salisbury. This fief consists primarily of the city of Sarum and the large land area on Salisbury Plain around it. The fief is composed of good farmland, and provides other good forms of income for the count — fisheries, taxes on merchants, and tolls from the bridges. The county includes one large city, Sarum, three smaller walled cities (Wilton, Warminster, and Tilshead), and dozens of much smaller towns and villages which are generally clustered in the river valleys around the cities. It has five castles. The one in Sarum is very strong, and is also behind the city walls; the other four (Devizes, du Plain, Ebble, and Vagon) are common motte-and-bailey castles.
The City of Sarum
Sarum is your home base, sitting upon a steep, windswept mound amidst the rolling Salisbury Plain. Sarum was first settled centuries ago during the time before iron was used, in the days when people still worshipped the sun at Stonehenge. A series of concentric rings surround the city: a massive ditch on the outside, then a huge rampart, then another large ditch and another rampart. A great curtain wall perches on the inner rampart and overlooks the inner ditch. Two gates, to the east and west, pierce the walls. They are defended by towered gateworks, each with its huge ironreinforced portcullis, murder holes, and drawbridges. As with all cities, these are closed at night and normally admit no one.
In the center of the city is a great motte, or artificial mound, upon which sits the large castle of the earl. Four ditch-and-rampart spokes radiate from the castle almost to the outer wall, and divide the city into quarters. The northwestern quarter is given over to the magnificent cathedral and church buildings, a part of the fief of the Bishop of Salisbury. It is occupied by churchmen and the bishop's retinue. The cathedral is dedicated to Saint Mary, the Mother of God.
The city occupies the rest, and it serves as the outer bailey for the castle. It is large and relatively rich. It serves as the trading center for the entire county and the earl receives rich revenues from its taxes, part of which go to the High King.
Salisbury Castle
Salisbury Castle, also called Sarum, is a modern (i.e., in the Arthurian era) stone castle. It sits upon a great motte in the center of the city, and is the main seat for your lord, the Earl of Salisbury. Curtain walls 8 feet thick and 20 feet tall surround the inner bailey, which is roughly circular and about 300 feet in diameter. Sarum Castle has four towers.
When your character stays with his lord, Earl Roderick, he does not have private chamber. Instead, like most people in the castle, he sleeps at night in the same place where he works in the daytime. (Thus, cooks sleep in the kitchen, bakers in the pantry, and grooms in the stable.) As a knight, your character sleeps in the Great Hall. This is also the permanent home of the earl's household knights. They each have a large chest here to store personal possessions. By day, the great hall is the lord's courtroom. The floor is cleared of furniture except for the lord's high chair, which remains upon the raised dais at the far end of the room. In the evening, trestle tables and benches are brought out for the evening meal. At night, the tables and benches serve as beds, or people sleep on the floor.

What is the ecoSensitive® Program?
The ecoSensitive Program demonstrates REI's long-term commitment to take responsibility for the entire life cycles of our REI-brand and Novara products, from design to manufacture to end-of-life. These brands are unique to REI—designed, developed, and sourced by our cooperative.
The history of ecoSensitive
Since 2005, we've been working to better measure the environmental impacts of the product life cycle. Our biggest discovery: the environmental impact embedded in the products we make and sell is greater than the operational footprint of our retail stores, distribution centers and headquarters combined. This fact hints at the enormously complex and difficult task presented by product stewardship.
In 2007 we created the ecoSensitive label to foster product stewardship. This eco-label provided targets for designers to integrate more recycled content, organic content and renewable materials into our private brands. It also helped us to communicate with our customers and to further reduce our environmental footprint.
In 2010 REI developed a new product stewardship vision: to understand, disclose and actively address the environmental and social impacts of products in all phases of the product life cycle. With this vision, we reevaluated the ecoSensitive label with the intent of expanding its application.
Why transition from a label to a program?
As we reexamined our private eco-label, we began to understand its shortcomings. By addressing materials alone, we were missing opportunities to measure and reduce our impacts at other points in the product life cycle. We had also contributed to the proliferation of eco-labels in the marketplace—a growing challenge for consumers. And perhaps most importantly, we had unintentionally limited our focus to the 25% of our products that were capable of reaching the label's strict requirements.
Realizing these limitations, we decided to broaden ecoSensitive from an eco-label to a program. This evolution shifts our focus to all REI-brand and Novara products and to the full product life cycle. The ecoSensitive Program now provides REI with a framework to understand, disclose and actively address the impacts of our private brands.
We continue our collaboration with dozens of companies, nonprofit organizations, and universities in developing a universal framework for measuring product sustainability. We strongly believe that this type of pre-competitive collaboration is essential for expanding sustainability across the entire industry.
How to learn more
Product stewardship is one of our greatest challenges and one of our most exciting opportunities. We are excited to share our journey with you! To learn more about the REI and Novara brands, please explore these pages. We also encourage you to see what we are doing across our retail operations through Stewardship at REI.
Why collaborate with our competitors?
Collaboration is critical in accomplishing our vision of understanding, disclosing and actively addressing the environmental and social impacts of products at all phases of the product life cycle. Our competitors possess a wealth of knowledge and experience in sustainability. We continually learn from our interactions with other brands.
Out of these interactions comes a shared approach to sustainability built upon a framework for measuring and reporting product sustainability. The REI and Novara brands are working with other brands, academic experts, and nonprofit organizations in a pre-competitive endeavor to establish a common language for product stewardship. We believe this will positively influence not only our own operations, but the entire supply chain.
The Eco Working Group and the Sustainable Apparel Coalition
We are actively involved with the Outdoor Industry Association (OIA) Eco Working Group, a coalition of more than 150 outdoor industry brands, suppliers, manufacturers and other stakeholders working to create a shared methodology for measuring and reporting product impacts.
In 2010, the Eco Working Group introduced the beta version of the Eco Index, a tool to help companies understand and measure the impacts of products at all phases of their life cycles.
More than 100 companies throughout the supply chain tested the tool, including REI. Testing showed the Eco Index to be effective and helpful in communicating environmental performance and aiding designers in their efforts to better identify opportunities for product improvements.
Success with the tool has encouraged other companies and groups outside of the outdoor industry to evaluate it for their use. REI, Patagonia and other outdoor companies are currently working with major retailers and brands such as Target, Levi, Gap, Nike, and Walmart in a group called the Sustainable Apparel Coalition that will result in even more widespread use of the Eco Index framework.
How are we applying these tools in our business?
Based on the Eco Index, the Sustainable Apparel Coalition has developed a new tool to measure product impacts. The REI brand is piloting it with an evaluation of our Sahara hiking apparel. The Sahara collection's supply chains span multiple continents and involve a wide range of suppliers. We're working with our supply chain partners to benchmark our performance and to identify opportunities to expand the use of this new framework.
Next on our to-do list: We'll incorporate the Sustainable Apparel Coalition framework tool into our product line management software. This step will significantly increase our ability to measure and manage product sustainability during the design and development process.
Applying life-cycle thinking to product sustainability
Understanding the impacts of products in all phases of the life cycle is a complex and difficult task. Our supply chains span the globe, and we source thousands of product components, from fabrics to bicycle cables, each season. In order to fully understand our environmental footprint, we need to consider a wide range of impacts such as water consumption, land use, toxins and air emissions.
Our primary tool for this work is the Outdoor Industry Association's Eco Index, which REI helped develop and test. The Eco Index enables users to benchmark a product's environmental impacts throughout the product life cycle and across multiple lenses.
Fostering transparency
Our plan is to use the Eco Index to develop reportable indicators and metrics for our ecoSensitive® Program. In the meantime, we are reporting on key efforts and results of the work in progress. Our commitment is to learn and understand the impacts of products and then disclose that information in ways that are accurate, meaningful and relevant to our members. This process has begun in a limited way by sharing the pros and cons of materials chosen for our ecoSensitive program.
REI designers and merchants will make choices for improved environmental performance based on the Eco Index guidelines, indicators and metrics. We intend to be able to report on progress based on this approach over time.
We will continue to invest in the development of environmentally preferred products and reliable metrics. As we are better able to identify and quantify the environmental impacts of products, we are committed to sharing that information. We will focus on collaboration with other members of the OIA Eco Working Group and support the resulting tools that emerge from that collaboration.
Our search for more sustainable materials
We strive to source materials for REI-brand gear and clothing from recycled, renewable, and organic-certified sources. Given the technical nature of our products, we're often challenged to find sustainable options. Nevertheless, we're committed to working with our suppliers through the Eco Index framework to continually reduce the environmental footprints of our products and supply chains.
What is bluesign®?
In late 2008, REI became a member of bluesign technologies ag. The bluesign standard is an independent textile certification based on an approach called "input stream management." This method excludes problematic substances from the manufacturing process and results in an entirely safe finished product, regardless of how many intermediate steps or manufacturers are involved.
The bluesign standard is based on 5 principles:
- Resource productivity – providing maximum quality using minimal resources
- Air emission – closely monitoring emission limits
- Occupational health and safety – safeguarding workers by using strict safety limits
- Water emission – feeding the cleanest possible water back into rivers, lakes and seas
- Consumer safety – providing products without health risks
REI considers the bluesign standard to be the strongest global solution available to proactively address environmental health and safety in manufacturing.
In 2010, we began using bluesign-approved Polartec fabrics in all of our REI-brand long underwear. As a result of this switch, we boosted our use of bluesign fabrics by 422,000 yards in the following year.
We will continue to expand our use of bluesign-certified textiles in the months and years ahead.
Sustainable packaging aspiration
At REI, we're mindful of the need to reduce our environmental footprint in every package we develop. We design, create, manufacture, deliver, use, recycle and/or dispose of all the packaging for REI-brand and Novara gear and clothing in ways that respect the planet and people.
Our approach: We minimize packaging, maximize the use of post-consumer recycled materials and use materials that are recyclable; we also design our packaging so that the individual parts can be separated for recycling. And we work with suppliers who use renewable energy to manufacture our packaging materials.
Our 5-year plan & commitments
We've been working on reducing our packaging and incorporating recycled content for many years. Since the development of the Outdoor Industry Association's Eco Index Packaging Guidelines in 2007, we've increased our efforts, and sustainable packaging is now one of REI's key commitments.
To continue our progress, we've set four targets:
- Reduce our REI-brand and Novara product packaging by 25% by 2015
- Use only recyclable or compostable packaging by 2015
- Increase the use of sustainable raw materials in our packaging
- Put clear labeling on our packaging that explains its recyclability
Making progress on our packaging goals
More than 90% of REI-brand and Novara packaging is now recyclable—a figure that's verified by internal measurement tools.
It may not be immediately obvious that the packaging on any given item has been reduced. At first glance, our hangtags, for instance, might look exactly the same. But simply by reducing the thickness of the paperboard a fractional amount saves 10 tons of paper each year. In 2010, we increased the recycled paper content in our hangtags from 10% to 100% Forest Stewardship Council-certified paper.
Next up: Watch for the new label that identifies the reduced packaging on some REI-brand and Novara products. We're working with the Sustainable Packaging Coalition to pilot an enhanced disposal label that will consistently provide factual, transparent recycling information to our customers and members.

Reducing energy consumption from laundering
Our research indicates that laundering is often the most energy-consumptive stage of a garment's life cycle. Washing and drying a garment dozens of times consumes a significant amount of energy. Save energy when you wash certain products at a low temperature and line-dry them. Look for guidance on the labels of your REI-brand and Novara gear and clothing.

Jordan Facts Flag
Located on desert plateaus in southwest Asia, Jordan is almost landlocked but for a short coast on the Gulf of Aqaba. In 1923, after the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire, Transjordan was designated a British mandate. Independence came in 1946. Following the Arab-Israeli conflict in 1948-49, the country annexed the West Bank—but lost it to Israel in the 1967 war.
The Arab-Israeli wars have brought this small, poor country some 1.5 million Palestinian refugees. Jordan has a constitutional monarchy, with an economy based on agriculture and phosphates. It joined the World Trade Organization in 2000 and hopes to grow its economy through reforms and increased trade. Jordan looks to address its limited natural resources—it lacks its own oil—through cooperative agreements and the development of renewable energy.
- Industry: Phosphate mining, pharmaceuticals, petroleum refining, cement, potash
- Agriculture: Wheat, barley, citrus, tomatoes; sheep
- Exports: Phosphates, fertilizers, potash, agricultural products, manufactures

How to Avoid Plagiarism
In order to avoid plagiarism, you must give credit when
- You use another person's ideas, opinions, or theories.
- You use facts, statistics, graphics, drawings, music, etc., or any other type of information that does not comprise common knowledge.
- You use quotations from another person's spoken or written word.
- You paraphrase another person's spoken or written word.
- Begin the writing process by stating your ideas; then go back to the author's original work.
- Use quotation marks and credit the source (author) when you copy exact wording.
- Use your own words (paraphrase) instead of copying directly when possible.
- Even when you paraphrase another author's writings, you must give credit to that author.
- If the form of citation and reference are not correct, the attribution to the original author is likely to be incomplete. Therefore, improper use of style can result in plagiarism. Get a style manual and use it.
- The figure below may help to guide your decisions.
This content is part of the Understanding Plagiarism tutorial created by the Indiana University School of Education.
How is interdisciplinary research different?
How can you do truly interdisciplinary research, when most research sources are discipline-specific? Most of us learn to do research within a discipline, but you need to become adequate in multiple disciplines for this course.
- Determine which disciplinary methods you will use- to know WHERE to search and how to use what you find.
- Look in a specialized encyclopedia to get background information on research methods for a specific discipline. For an econ related topic, you could use An encyclopedia of macroeconomics.
- Become conversant with the terminology of all relevant disciplines- to know HOW to search [i.e., which words to use as search terms]
- look in a specialized encyclopedia to learn the terminology of a specific discipline. For a public policy related topic you could refer to Health care policy and politics A to Z
- Understand what kinds of sources are considered legitimate by those disciplines- to know WHAT to search for.
- specialized encyclopedia will probably have an essay on methods of research that will explain what sources are appropriate.
- Learn what kinds of research questions are valid in the disciplines you are working with.
- Reading other research articles in the discipline is the best way to learn about what questions are considered valid.
Find specialized encyclopedias for your disciplines:
- Open Oskicat
- Type encyclopedias and a word or phrase describing your topic, such as development
- See what comes up.
- If that doesn't work, try typing handbooks and a word or phrase describing your topic such as organizational behavior
- If that doesn't work, ask a librarian.
Read more about doing interdisciplinary research. An excellent book is Interdisciplinary Research: Process and Theory by Allen Repko
Tutorial: Research 101
Unsure how to start a paper or research project? Think maybe you could stand to brush up on search strategies?
If this sounds familiar, Library Workshop: Research 101 has you covered. This interactive tutorial explores six stages of the research process. You can view it from start to finish, or focus on specific sections as needed:
Starting strategies from choosing a topic to search keywords.
The publication timeline, scholarly v. popular sources, and differences in academic disciplines.
Search for books and other items in OskiCat, Cal's local library catalog.
Locate and access articles in library research databases.
Common techniques for constructing searches that yield useful results.
Specialized search strategies for targeting specific topics.
The Research Process
1. State your problem as a question as succinctly as possible.
2. 'Brain dump': Write down what you already know about your topic, including
- Names of people, organizations, companies, time period you are interested in, places of interest [countries, regions, cities], conceptual terms...
3. Decide what disciplinary methodologies you plan to use: e.g., sociology, political science, literature, psychology...
4. Fill in the gaps in your knowlege: get background information from specialized encyclopedias or other secondary sources. Wikipedia can sometimes be good here, or Google News.
5. Select the best places/ databases to find information on your topic from the Library's list of databases by subject. Or use a catalog like Oskicat or Melvyl to search for books and other resources.
6. Use nouns from your brain dump as search terms.
7. Evaluate what you find. Change search terms to get closer to what you really want.
8. Refine Your Search Words - Using the information you have gathered, determine if your research words should be narrower or broader. You may need to search basic resources again using your new, focused topics and keywords.
What sort of articles and data do you need to find for your paper? Scholarly, for sure, but there are many others:
- news
- laws and statutes
- statistics
- interviews
- 'primary sources'
It's helpful when doing your research to think about how you will use what you find. The acronym BEAM helps you make sure you find materials that will do the job you need in your paper. Research papers need materials in all four categories.
B = Background information. Do you know the seminal works, major scholars and theories in your topical area? What about the actual definitions of the disciplinary jargon you're using? Scholarly encyclopedias are the best source of background information: look in Oskicat under your discipline, with the word encyclopedias, [sociology encyclopedias]. Could also use Wikipedia, a textbook, a newspaper, or any source that fills you in on your big topic.
E = Evidence Often called primary sources, evidence is the stuff you are studying in your research. Evidence could be news coverage, laws, court cases, personal interviews, statistics or data... whatever helps you prove your thesis.
A = Analysis Here are the secondary sources-- analysis is usually written by faculty scholars or technical experts, who are themselves analyzing evidence that they may include or cite. As a student writing a paper, you are doing analysis, so it's important to refer to the work of others studying the same topic
M = Methodology This means the methods and questions you will use to analyze your evidence. Each discipline has its own favorite ways of asking questions and its own ideas about what sort of information can serve as evidence. You must know which methods are suitable to the disciplines you are working within. To find methodology, search for books by using the name of the discipline and the word methodology. E.g. Sociology method*.

Transfer requests will be made within the Findagrave guidelines, for direct relatives within four generations. This would be your siblings, parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Please request transfers via the "Suggest a Correction" link under the "Edit" tab on the memorial in question with your request to have the memorial transferred to you - please include your relationship.
The "Suggest a Correction" feature may also be used to submit corrections, an original biography, and family links to memorials that do not fall under the above transfer guidelines.
Spending time on FAG is a lot of fun, but the best part is meeting so many wonderful people, like you. My daughter Courtney and I have been working together for 25+ years on our family's genealogy. Over the years we've discovered some exciting and unknown information on cemetery headstones. We really enjoy spending time wandering through cemeteries absorbing the history that they alone provide.
After finding out first hand how important headstone information can be we decided to record local information in the hopes that we would be able to help someone else. If you run into a friend or relative through our listings please let us know. I will be happy to make any corrections or additions you feel are necessary.
We may not have known each and every individual personally, but we are touched by each entry we have left and realize that our oneness is our common bond. May you find comfort and happiness each and every day of your lives.

John W B Brashears
Is it possible John was actually born about 1908?
I am looking at the 1860 census and the family seems to be more or less intact, but J. Brashears is 52 and D. Brashears is 53.
I believe Elizabeth Brashears (E. Brashears 16yo in census, married her near neighbor William Newton Arthur whose fist wife died in 1862 (Apr 9). I believe he married Elizabeth 3 Aug 1862. He had many children under 10 which may explain the prompt remarriage and also the fact that Elizabeth expired 22 Jan 1863. Obviously they had no children. He is my great great grandfather through his third wife Elizabeth Jane Arthur.
