Thank you, your review has been posted.
Josephine has been painting faces at my niece and nephews birthdays for the past four years. Having seen the joy on the children's faces, wonderful creative designs, and Josephine's professional and sociable manner, I asked my sister for a contact phone number. Our daughter turned one last week, and all the children enjoyed having their faces painted in any design they w (...) Read more
Josephine was absolutely brilliant. A friend originally got Josephine to work at my partners 40th (she did a lot of painting of kids and adults alike!) and due to that I actually got her for our twins 4th birthday party. All of my interactions with Josephine before the day were awesome! There was almost a clash due to the party being on the AFL Grand Final day but she w (...) Read more

Josephine visited us for our son's first birthday party. She did a fantastic job, creating some beautiful face creations, for all sorts of requests from the kids! Amazing it was all her own creative flair. Many of our guests commented on how fantastic it was that she could do anything the kids requested. Josephine arrived well before the party, and was set up ready to go w (...) Read more
Josephine did a great job with our 4 year old son's birthday party - her face painting designs were amazing and she works quickly and was great with the kids. She also did some great balloon twisting - flowers, teddy bears, swords, dogs - something for everyone, I would recommend Josephine to anyone without hesitation!
Josephine is a major asset to any children's birthday party! She arrived early and was all ready to start painting, once the first guest arrived. We kept her busy the whole time - the children challenged her with a wide variety of requests and she met each challenge with her beautiful and accurate depictions. Even the adults were lining up for facepaint by the end of the p (...) Read more
I have had the pleasure to witness Josephine's art at facepainting numerous times. She is extremely talented and fantastic with children. I cannot recommend her enough!!

Eli Manning was chosen first overall in the 2004 NFL draft out of Ole Miss by the San Diego Chargers. He was immediately traded to the New York Giants and went on to lead the team to Super Bowl victory in the 2007 season, and into Super Bowl XLVI in the 2011 season.
College Football Career
Eli Manning was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1981. In 2000, he enrolled at the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss), where both his father and brother Cooper went to college. He played quarterback for the Rebels for four years while at Ole Miss, and put up outstanding numbers, including 10,119 passing yards (fifth on the SEC career list), 81 touchdown passes (third on the SEC career list), and a passer rating of 137.7 (tied for sixth on the SEC career list). During his senior year he won several awards, including the Maxwell Award as the nation's best all-around player and the SEC Player of the Year award.
The Move to the NFL
In 2004, six years after his brother, Peyton, entered the NFL as the Indianapolis Colts' QB, Eli Manning was drafted first overall by San Diego. But Manning had said all along that he would not play for the Chargers, and the team traded him on draft day to the New York Giants.
Manning had a rocky rookie year, and was benched at one point in favor of Kurt Warner, longtime NFL quarterback. But Warner soon retired, and in 2005 Manning was named the Giants' starter once again. Under the Giants' new head coach, Tom Coughlin, Manning led the team to average results over the next three season, compiling a 25-23 record with two playoff appearances—both losses.
Super Bowls XLII and XLVI
The Giants made the playoffs in 2005 and 2006, and they finished 2007 with a record of 10-6. Manning led the team through the playoffs that year and into the Super Bowl, where they were huge underdogs to the undefeated New England Patriots. The Giants won the game, 17-14, and Eli Manning was named the game's MVP. He completed 19 of 34 passes for 255 yards (152 of which came in the decisive fourth quarter), and threw two touchdown passes.
With the victory, Eli and Peyton Manning were the first brothers to become back-to-back Super Bowl winners and MVP quarterbacks, Peyton having achieved the feat the year before, with the Indianapolis Colts.
In 2011, Manning led the Giants to a record of 9-7, finishing the season with 4,933 passing yards (the most in Giants history), and 29 touchdown passes. Manning then led the team into the playoffs, going through powerhouse teams such as the Green Bay Packers and the San Francisco 49ers to gain entry to Super Bowl XLVI (again taking on the New England Patriots).
Beyond the Gridiron
Off the field, Eli Manning has been active in the efforts to rebuild New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, and to raise awareness in conjunction with the Gulf oil spill of 2010. He also hosts Guiding Eyes for the Blind's Golf Classic, an annual charity event, and has undertaken a campaign to raise $2.5 million for the construction of the Eli Manning Children's Clinic at the University of Mississippi Medical Center's children's hospital.

Hotel Lac Salin
The plans are ready to go. Next winter, the Hotel Lac Salin will change its look completely. It will be a new hotel, full of comforts and magic, and here is a sneak preview from the architect in charge of the project, Ludwig Pederiva of Pederiva Architectural Studio in Bolzano.
What criteria inspired you in this undertaking? The hotel's fine position, with good southern exposition and an absence of surrounding buildings, allowed for a radical renovation without demolishing the structure. Giving full value to the light was the guiding criterion in developing the new hotel, and we want it to be a reference point for buildings in this part of town. How do you imagine the new Lac Salin? The rooms are spacious, with enough room for living area and large windows full of light. The view from the balconies off each room are unmatched: mountains, woods, ski trails and broad meadows. The heart of the hotel is the hall with a bar for its guests, while the restaurant is divided into various areas in order to create an intimate atmosphere. A temperature-controlled cellar will hold every a wine lover could want. We have dedicated a lot of space to wellness, including a pool with bridges and rock sculptures. There is a sauna and whirlpool area with solarium and sunlamps, plus a gym with massage and body care room. All guests can use the ski storage room, which is heated to dry ski boots, or hiking boot in summer. Bike lovers have bicycle storage space with a repair bench. What materials did you choose? Wood and marble for the structure, wool and cotton for the furnishings, with special attention to respect for the environment. We will favor materials that do not upset the natural balance and which have low impact in terms of disposal or recycling. Another very important aspect is energy savings, even if it is invisible to the customer. Insulation, heating and air conditioning, heat recovery, independent heating control for every room and linked to presence in the room are all factors that greatly affect energy consumption. In addition to economic savings, this also affects environmental resource availability today and in the tomorrow. And what was the philosophy behind it all? The challenge was to manage to design a hotel that conveys positive emotions and states of mind to the guest. After relaxing, recharging and refreshing themselves, the customer in the new Lac Salin must be moved by the urge to come back again. |

Smoke from three large wildfires in Placer County this past summer had a severe air quality impact on residents and travelers in numerous communities throughout the Sierra Nevada including the State of Nevada. While air quality is poor at times during the summer months due to increased ground level ozone pollution, dense smoke from wildfires exacerbated the problem for five weeks. High-pressure coupled with hot temperatures lead to air quality so poor, at times, from smoke and ozone (O3 ), air districts officials issued health advisories for sensitive individuals or health alerts for the population as a whole.
The first wildfire, the Gap Fire, in the Blue Canyon area, began on August 12 th and was contained on August 20 th after burning 2462 acres of forestland. Smoke from the dense vegetation burning drifted northwest towards Nevada County and beyond, forcing the closure of Interstate 80 for several days. Air districts in Placer, Nevada, El Dorado Counties and Washoe County, Nevada, monitored the air with various types of equipment and provided timely air quality health advisories/alerts.
Air monitoring equipment located in Grass Valley and Truckee (Nevada County), Auburn, Colfax and Lincoln (Placer County), South Lake Tahoe (El Dorado County), and Washoe County (Nevada) is operated year round. Particulate Matter 10 microns (ug/m3) in size and smaller and ozone (O3 ) are monitored. For most sites, PM-10 data is collected once every six days for a 24-hour period while other sites use equipment that continuously monitors for PM-10 and O3.
PM-10 and O3 pollutants raise concern since breathing polluted air can have both short term and permanent long-term health effects. The smaller particulate matter can get past the protective filters of the throat and lodge deep in the lungs. The PM-10 health based standard for California (CA) is 50 ug/m3 and the federal is 150 ug/m3 . For perspective a hair follicle is 60 microns. Ozone is a strong irritant that can cause airway constriction, forcing the respiratory system to work harder to provide oxygen. The federal health based standard for O3 is 0.12 parts per million.
During the Gap Fire while smoke was dense at times air quality data showed that the measured level of smoke was between 25 ug/m3 to 37 ug/m3 (Grass Valley), below state and federal health standard levels. However, ground level ozone increased and local health officials issued three health advisories and on August 17 th , a health alert was issued when the federal standard was exceeded. On the same day in the Lincoln area (Placer County), PM-10 was measured at 128 ug/m3, well above the CA standard. Although the PM-10 standards were not exceeded in Nevada County, air district officials issued a health advisory for intermittent dense smoke in the area.
As the air cleared from the Gap Fire, a second wildfire, the Ponderosa Fire, started on August 17 th . By the time it was contained on August 23 rd , it had burned 2780 acres. Smoke from the American River Canyon moved into the greater Colfax/Weimar and Nevada County areas. Air quality data collected from both Placer and Nevada Counties showed that there were no instances where the PM-10 standards were exceeded. PM-10 data measured from 7 ug/m3 to 37 ug/m3. The ozone standard was also not exceeded.
With mop up still occurring on the Ponderosa Fire, the third and largest wildfire began on August 25 th . The Star fire started on the Eldorado National Forest and quickly spread onto the Tahoe National Forest. By the time the fire was contained on September 13 th , it had grown to 16,761 acres and smoke affected many Sierra Nevada communities, extending to the Reno/Sparks area. Ash fall out was reported in Truckee, Lake Tahoe and the Reno areas. Satellite imagery showed the smoke plume moving generally east. As the fire grew more widespread, air quality was affected.
Smoke added to the usual seasonal deterioration of air quality and prompted air district officials in the region, including the Washoe County Health Department (Nevada) to issue numerous health advisories. Concerned citizens in Placer County called to find out where they could go to get out of the smoke. Tourists cut back on their outdoor activities in the Lake Tahoe area to minimize their exposure to smoke. School officials kept children inside during recess and lunchtime and many after-school sports programs were canceled in an effort to protect students' health. Air quality officials stated "If you smell smoke, or see smoke around you, consider restricting your outside activities." Additionally, during this time six health advisories and on August 28 th , one health alert was issued when the federal ground level ozone federal standard was exceeded.
Air quality data during the wildfire ranged from good to unhealthy from both smoke and ground level ozone. While air quality varied daily, with little smoke on some days, the greatest health impact occurred on August 29 th . The following table shows the highest readings for each air-monitoring site in the region.
Air Monitoring Location
Highest Reading
CA Standards Exceeded
Federal Standards Exceeded
Auburn (Placer Co.)
112 ug/m 3
Colfax (Placer Co.)
Lincoln (Placer Co.)
60 ug/m 3
Grass Valley (Nevada Co.)
72 ug/m 3
Truckee (Nevada Co.)
66 ug/m 3
South Lake Tahoe (Eldorado Co.)
31 ug/m 3
Cave Rock (Washoe Co., NV)
55 ug/m 3
Reno, (Washoe Co., NV)
88 ug/m 3
South Reno, (Washoe Co., NV)
144 ug/m 3
Incline Village (Washoe Co., NV)
136 ug/m 3
Further review of air quality for the region showed three more exceedances of the CA PM-10 standards. Although there were some days exceeding the CA standards, the dense smoke in the region lead to poor visibility for many days and caused an annoyance/nuisance.
After evaluating the air quality data following each fire, air quality professionals did not find a correlation between the amount of fuel consumed and the daily smoke impacts. On days with lesser smoke impacts, the weather played a role in dispersing smoke, thus reducing its impact. Under the best of conditions, some smoke from a wildfire may affect one's health. However during August and September of this past summer, smoke impacts in the region combined with poor air quality from increased ozone levels affected those living, playing and traveling here. Air district officials provided information to the public to protect themselves, while individuals had the final decision how to protect their health while continuing to go about their daily lives.

A remarkable book titled "Gifted Hands" tells the personal story of Benjamin Carson, a black kid from the Detroit ghetto who went on to become a renowned neurosurgeon.
At one time, young Ben Carson had the lowest grades in his middle school class, and was the butt of teasing by his white classmates. Worse yet, he himself believed that he was just not smart enough to do the work.
Fortunately for him, his mother, whose own education went no further than the third grade, insisted that he was smart. She cut off the television set and made him and his brother hit the books - books that she herself could scarcely read.
As young Ben's schoolwork began to catch up with that of his classmates, and then began to surpass that of his classmates, his whole view of himself and of the wider world around him began to change.
He began to think that he wanted to become a doctor.
There were a lot of obstacles to overcome along the way, including the fact that his mother had to be away from time to time for psychiatric treatment as she tried to cope with the heavy pressures of trying to raise two boys whose father had deserted the family that she now had to support on a maid's wages.
In many ways the obstacles facing young Ben Carson were like those faced by so many other youngsters in the ghetto.
What was different was that he overcame those obstacles with the help of a truly heroic mother and the values she instilled in him.
It is an inspiring personal story, told plainly and unpretentiously, including the continuing challenges he faced later as a neurosurgeon operating on the brains of people with life-threatening medical problems, often with the odds against them.
To me it was a personal story in another sense, in that some of his experiences as a youngster brought back experiences I went through growing up in Harlem many years earlier.
I could understand all too well what it was like to be the lowest-performing child in a class. That was my situation in the fourth grade, after my family had moved up from the South, where I had been one of the best students in the third grade - but in a grossly inferior school system.
Now I sometimes found myself in tears because it was so hard to try to get through my homework.
But in one sense I was much more fortunate than Ben Carson and other black youngsters today.
The shock of being in a school where standards were higher than I was able to meet at first, took place in an all-black school in Harlem, so that there was none of the additional complications that such an experience can have for a black youngster in a predominantly white school.

Kate is out climbing trees for fruit when she runs into Sawyer. They walk through an unexplored part of the jungle, hear the sound of running water and come into a clearing to find a waterfall. They climb to the top and dive into the water to find that this lagoon is not as perfect as it looked. On the bottom, still strapped to their airplane seats, they find two bodies. Horrified, they surface, but Sawyer wants to dive back down and see if he can find any valuables. Kate spots a silver Haliburton case, which she brings up and claims as her own however, she doesn't have the key, which leads Sawyer to believe otherwise. Kate attempts to act as if the case doesn't matter to her and hands it over to Sawyer.
Back at the beach, people scurry to salvage their belongings as the tide comes up and threatens the fuselage. Jack presses Sayid for information regarding the French woman. Sayid explains that he has to translate the maps and papers in order to make sense of anything. Meanwhile, on another part of the beach, Shannon interrogates Boone as to where he's been he's been leaving everyday at sunrise and returning after dark. Boone claims he's been out looking for Claire and tells Shannon she's been absolutely useless.
As the sun sets on another day, Kate sits by the campfire, obviously disturbed that Sawyer has the Haliburton case and whatever it may hold. We FLASHBACK to find Kate at a bank, opening a new account, when three armed men enter and order everyone on the ground. Robber #1 tells the Bank Manager to open the money cage before people start getting killed.
Back on the island, Kate sneaks up on Sawyer in an attempt to lift the case out from under his legs. But Sawyer wakes up and grabs Kate in a leg lock. Kate gives him a head butt and escapes. She demands Sawyer hand over the Haliburton, but in typical Sawyer fashion, he refuses, now very intrigued by what this case means to Kate.
The next day, Sayid approaches Shannon as she lies on the beach sunbathing and requests her help in translating the papers he took from the French woman, Rousseau. And while she suspects Boone may have put Sayid up to it, she agrees to try in order to prove herself useful. Meanwhile, Sawyer attempts to pick the lock on the Haliburton. Michael and Hurley tell him how futile it is, but Sawyer claims he can pick the lock on anything. Michael tells him the only way to open it would be to hit it with something hard like the axe
which Boone carries through the jungle, where he meets up with Locke. After convincing Locke that no one saw him take the axe, they head off on an unknown mission.
Sawyer attempts to smash the Halliburton open on a rock, but much to his frustration it still won't crack. He climbs to the top of a tree and drops it on some boulders. Suddenly, Kate comes sneaking out of the woods and grabs the case. Sawyer climbs down and gives chase, eventually catching up and tackling her to the ground. Sawyer promises that if she tells him what's inside the case, he'll hand it over. But Kate remains silent as we
FLASHBACK to the bank, where the robbers are getting violent. A customer near Kate attempts to take out Robber #2, knocking his gun loose and sending it skidding across the floor, landing at Kate's feet. The customer yells at her to pick it up. Kate fumbles with the gun and claims she doesn't know how to use it. Robber #1 grabs her and forcefully leads her into the back room, where we learn that they are in cahoots together when they lock lips in a passionate kiss.
Back at the caves, Kate approaches Jack to ask for his help in getting the Haliburton from Sawyer. Kate suggests they dig up the Marshal's body in order to get the key from his wallet. She tells Jack that the case contains four, 9 millimeter guns, which would be dangerous for Sawyer to have in his possession. But Jack knows there's something more to the story there always is with Kate. He senses there must be something very important to her in that case and agrees to help her on one condition that once they get the key, they open it together.
This leads to another FLASHBACK to the back room of the bank, where in order to make it look good, Robber #1 slugs "Maggie" across the face. He pushes her out to the front and puts a gun to her head, threatening to pull the trigger if the Manager doesn't hand over the keys to the cage. The Manager finally gives in and they march him over to the money.
On the island, Kate and Jack continue digging, revolted by the stench. They reach the Marshal's body, where Kate reaches into his pocket and lifts out his wallet. She opens it, but comes up empty handed. She hands the wallet over to Jack, who is quick to realize that Kate palmed the key. Angry with her for continuing to lie to him, Jack takes the key from her.
At the beach, Shannon continues her attempt to translate the papers, but Sayid is growing increasingly frustrated the equations don't relate to her translations. Shannon suggests that the French woman may have been crazy after sixteen years alone on the island, which is why nothing makes sense. Sayid feels asking for Shannon's help may have been a mistake and when he verbalizes his regret, she picks up and leaves in a huff.
Meanwhile, Jack threatens to stop administering antibiotics to Sawyer if he doesn't give him the Haliburton. Sawyer reluctantly hands it over, but not before asking if Kate divulged the contents, to which Jack can only shake his head "no." Jack brings the case back to Kate and they begin to open it together, as agreed, when we
FLASHBACK to the cage, where Robber #1 pockets bundles of cash. The Manager argues to let "the girl" go. But Robber #1 has different plans. He reveals that "the girl" is the mastermind behind the heist, before taking off his mask and aiming his gun at the Manager. Kate quickly spins and disarms Robber #2, leveling that gun on Robber #1 "We said nobody gets hurt." But when Robber #1 continues advancing toward the Manager, Kate is forced to shoot him in the leg. The other Robbers react and each takes a bullet from Kate. Kate turns to the Manager and demands the keys to the Safety Deposit boxes. Robber #1 writhes on the ground, incredulous that Maggie would set them up. Kate responds, "My name's not Maggie". She gets the Manager's keys, and with her customer key, opens the box. Inside she finds a small green envelope.
Back on the island, Jack and Kate are about to open the Haliburton when Jack asks Kate if there is anything she wants to tell him first. When Kate says nothing, Jack proceeds to open the case. He pulls out the guns, the ammo and an envelope marked 'personal effects'. Kate takes it and opens it to find the smaller green envelope, which we recognize from the bank. She pulls out a small toy airplane!? Jack asks if that's what she was looking for and demands to know the truth. Kate claims the plane belonged to the man she loved, then breaks down and admits it belonged to the man she killed. Angry and confused, Jack takes the guns and leaves.
On the new beach, people have settled around scattered campfires for the evening. Shannon approaches Sayid and tells him that she realized the words from the papers were lyrics to a song "Beyond the Sea." And as Shannon sings the hauntingly beautiful song in French, we pull back to reveal Boone, watching from the shadows.
At a separate campfire, Kate stares at the toy plane with a tear in her eye.

I have it and it's not the worst thing I've ever played. Not the greatest, but not the worst. HA!

What the hell did I just waste 80 dollars on?
Surely this is just some sort of hoax. Ashton Kutcher is going to walk through my living room any second now, wearing that stupid smug grin because he knows he Punk'd me big time. SURELY this is not the same game Gearbox spent 6 fucking years developing, and in fact the real Aliens: Colonial Marines disk is hiding in a hidden compartment somewhere in the case.
This is exactly the sort of horrid movie tie-in crap I would expect from games that, you know, tie-into movies that are released at the same time to cash in on the buzz. This game though? There's just no excuse for it. 6 fucking years and this is what we get? Gearbox, I hope you are thoroughly ashamed of yourselves, you useless pack of hacks.
I want to go back in time and pirate this shitty game...
Maybe Telltale can grab this beloved franchise after they are finished with The Walking Dead and deliver us an Aliens game we truly need.Last edited by Windwalker; 02-16-2013 at 14:01.

FUCK Gearbox...they talked so much about this game...about new FPS mechanics, new story telling methods...and it was all BS. And the E3 demo!? How the fuck does a game look worse than its demo??
It's not just that these fucking assholes fucked up a game, they took a shit on Aliens in the process by completely...COMPLETELY fucking up what was supposed to be a sequel to one of the best sci-fi movies of all time. It's such a mind-fuck for me as to how this game was so royally fucked in the ass...
How do you make the awesomesauce that is Borderlands2...and then completely balls up Aliens? Man...I was REALLY looking forward to this game...it was a gaming event that surpassed the normal experience because it was to expand upon one of my fav movies ever.
-Shafty- wishes they had posted this first.

Best new Android, iPhone and iPad games for June 2013
Right before the end of the month we saw one of the most popular racing games of all times, Colin McRae, arrive for iPhone and iPad, but the majority of new releases gracing application catalogs were mobile-exclusive titles.
You get the usual variety in genres - from puzzlers to action games. We loved the logical thinking required by games like Bridgy Jones, and endless runners like Despicable Me were a great way to kill time.
As always, we have summed up the best new Android, iPhone and iPad games right below. We are looking forward to your opinion about them and feel free to also chip in with your favorites in the comments section below.

Most of these games are only on iOS. What's wrong with these developers... Android is still a profitable platform. I don't know why they just don't develop concurrently for both platforms. It's not like hardware fragmentation is what it was 2 years ago. There are many competent handsets that aren't just produced by Samsung. LG, HTC and Sony have all made excellent strides.
5. sid07desai (Posts: 237; Member since: 03 May 2012)
Yeah but even paid android games and apps are easily available for free as apks on some websites whereas in iOS users have to jailbreak which is not as easy as enabling unknown sources and installing apk. Devs profit more on iOS than android.

That is a myth. Anyone that would go to the trouble of side loading an app on Android would do it for IOS. There are a lot of us that would pay for quality and PA has posted articles on Android v. IOS sales that favor Android very well.

Victor, victor, victor.. Always the iOS fanboy. Sighhh.. To think there's a lot of nice new games in the Play Store lately that are far better than what you put in this silly "best" list. But NO, you just have have to assert your fanboyism for Apple right? Why can't you just put two separate articles for each OS?

In 2005, 37 million people, approximately 13 percent of the total population, lived below the poverty line, as defined by the Census Bureau. Poverty imposes costs on the nation in terms of both programmatic outlays and productivity losses that can affect the economy as a whole. To better understand the potential range of effects of poverty, GAO was asked to examine (1) what the economic research tells us about the relationship between poverty and adverse social conditions, such as poor health outcomes, crime, and labor force attachment, and (2) what links economic research has found between poverty and economic growth. To answer these questions, GAO reviewed the economic literature by academic experts, think tanks, and government agencies, and reviewed additional literature by searching various databases for peer- reviewed economic journals, specialty journals, and books. We also provided our draft report for review by experts on this topic.
Economic research suggests that individuals living in poverty face an increased risk of adverse outcomes, such as poor health and criminal activity, both of which may lead to reduced participation in the labor market. While the mechanisms by which poverty affects health are complex, some research suggests that adverse health outcomes can be due, in part, to limited access to health care as well as greater exposure to environmental hazards and engaging in risky behaviors. For example, some research has shown that increased availability of health insurance such as Medicaid for low-income mothers led to a decrease in infant mortality. Additionally, exposure to higher levels of air pollution from living in urban areas close to highways can lead to acute health conditions. Data suggest that engaging in risky behaviors, such as tobacco and alcohol use, a sedentary life-style, and a low consumption of nutritional foods, can account for some health disparities between lower and upper income groups. The economic research we reviewed also points to links between poverty and crime. For example, one study indicated that higher levels of unemployment are associated with higher levels of property crime. The relationship between poverty and adverse outcomes for individuals is complex, in part because most variables, like health status, can be both a cause and a result of poverty. These adverse outcomes affect individuals in many ways, including limiting their development of the skills, abilities, knowledge, and habits necessary to fully participate in the labor force. Research shows that poverty can negatively affect economic growth by affecting the accumulation of human capital and rates of crime and social unrest. Economic theory has long suggested that human capital--that is, the education, work experience, training, and health of the workforce--is considered one of the fundamental drivers of economic growth. The conditions associated with poverty can work against this human capital development by limiting individuals' ability to remain healthy and develop skills, in turn decreasing the potential to contribute talents, ideas, and even labor to the economy. An educated labor force, for example, is better at learning, creating and implementing new technologies. Economic theory suggests that when poverty affects a significant portion of the population, these effects can extend to the society at large and produce slower rates of growth. Although historically research has focused mainly on the extent to which economic growth alleviates poverty, some recent empirical studies have begun to demonstrate that higher rates of poverty are associated with lower rates of growth in the economy as a whole. For example, areas with higher poverty rates experience, on average, slower per capita income growth rates than low-poverty areas.

John Bailey, Ny, American Revolutionary War Sword Maker, Cutler For Ge
JOHN BAILEY, NY, American Revolutionary War Sword Maker, cutler for George Washington , Family papers. #PP66 - For Sale
JOHN BAILEY, NY, American Revolutionary War Sword Maker, cutler for George Washington , Family papers. #PP66
Price: $1995.00
Historically important documents from the Bailey Family pertaining to John Bailey, the famous Revolutionary War sword maker, George Washington's sword and the Bailey Family.
John Bailey is probably the most important American revolutionary War silversmith / sword cutler. He worked throughout the Revolution and manufactured hundreds of fine swords of very fine quality. Many famous Revolutionary War heroes carried a silver-hilted sword made by John Bailey including General Israel Putnam, General Henry Dearborn and Captain Henry O'Hara. John Bailey is most well known for making General George Washington's great battle sword which he carried throughout the Revolution.
These very important documents descended in the Bailey Family and were written by descendants of John Bailey during the late 19th century.
They include:
1. A letter written on "W. Bailey Lang & Co." stationary (dated 1875 & crossed off). By Caroline M. Bailey, "A piece of the wedding dress of Mrs. Stanton who was the mother of Ann Bailey, the wife of the sword maker. Mrs. Stanton's husband was captain of one of the King's packets that sailed from Lisbon to Falmouth, He was lost at sea…"
2. An actual piece of the wedding dress!
3. A fantastic 3+ page letter written by John Bailey's great, great granddaughter, discussing in detail General Washington's famous sword made by Bailey. It also discusses Washington and Bailey in the French and Indian Wars and in the Revolution. "I have been told by those "who ought to know" that at one time Washington and J. Bailey were quite intimate friends and also by my aunt Caroline W. Bailey that her grandmother, Maria Lang (maiden name Bailey) used to tell her that she could remember seeing Washing come into her father's (John Bailey's) shop and on some occasions taking her on his knee…"
4. And: several notes made by Bailey's great, great, great, great granddaughter (signed "M.B.D.") in 1890.
These Bailey Family documents are all in excellent condition without any restorations. Please note that they are all kept in archival plastic pages and there is some glare in the photos.
A very important and historically significant package. These PRICELESS documents are truly worthy of the Smithsonian Institution's Collection!
These documents were once part of the Stuart Goldman collection. Stuart lived in Beverly and Canton, Massachusetts and was an avid collector of American Revolutionary War items and important American documents. Stuart was a researcher, a published writer and a member of the Company of Military Historians. His collection contained some of the earliest colonial American documents signed by native Americans, French and Indian Wars documents, American Revolution documents and early presidential signed documents. Stuart also collected early muskets and silver-hilted swords from America's colonial period. The Bailey Family papers were purchased privately from him several years ago before his untimely death.

On Wednesday's American Idol, the final six sang the music of Queen. To me, Queen's music is some of the most difficult music you could possibly sing. Freddie Mercury had one of the most incredible voices. He had tremendous range and was a brilliant songwriter. So to try and sing these complex songs is a huge challenge...for anyone.
I thought the final six did an amazing job. If you've watched Idol much this year, you know this year's crop of talent is probably the best they've ever had on the show. Last night, they proved that once again. Original Queen members Roger Taylor and Brian May were on stage with the contestants rocking to Queen's music.
My favorites remain Joshua Ledet and Jessica Sanchez. Those two are a level above the rest in my opinion. There is a dark horse...and I think it's Skylar Laine. She has the appeal to pull an upset and win it all with her "down home country approach" and talent.
We'll see tonight who gets eliminated. It's going to be a tough choice.

Company Description
Corning Inc is a provider of high-performance glass for LCD televisions, computer monitors, and other information display applications; optical fiber and cable and hardware and equipment products.

Tuesday, Mar 116:46 PM
- Intel's (INTC) new MXC server interconnect cables leverage the chip giant's silicon photonics tech and optical fibers developed by Corning (GLW) to enable 1.6Tbps transfer speeds (800Gbps each way) via 64 fibers running at 25Gbps apiece. Traditional solutions work at 10Gbps, and max out at 12-24 fibers.
- Corning plans to begin selling MXC cable assemblies, which have a range of 300 meters, in Q3. Intel asserts the technology's per-fiber throughput could eventually double to 50Gbps. The companies think supercomputer (HPC) vendors and cloud computing firms will be among the first buyers.
- Over time, MXC's blistering speeds stand to further Intel's goal of creating server architectures in which CPU, memory, storage, networking, and other resources can be separately pooled and upgraded as needed. "The ability to take my memory and stash it a rack away, optical can enable that," says Intel exec Mario Paniccia.
- Intel's efforts pose a challenge to optical component vendor Finisar (FNSR), whose shares sold off a year ago on worries about Intel and Cisco's silicon photonics efforts. They're also a challenge to high-speed interconnect leader Mellanox (MLNX), which last year acquired silicon photonics startup Kotura and 100G interconnect developer IPtronics. Since then, Mellanox has said it will ship 100G silicon photonics products in late 2014 or early 2015.

- As part of the $2B buyback it announced in tandem with last October's Samsung deal, Corning (GLW +1.9%) is buying back $1.25B worth of shares through an accelerated share repurchase deal with Citi.
- The ASR, expected to be finished in Q2, is good for repurchasing 4.6% of shares at current levels.
- Separately, Goldman's Simona Jankowski is downplaying the impact of Apple's sapphire supply deal with GT Advanced, which has stoked fears Apple will stop using Gorilla Glass to cover iOS device displays.
- Jankowski estimates the revenue impact of lost Apple share for Corning will only amount to $38M-$150M/year; the company's 2014 revenue consensus is at $10.1B.
- Two undiscussed issues: 1) Whether Apple's move will compel other mobile OEMs to explore using sapphire cover glass. 2) Whether the OEMs will be able to obtain enough sapphire to use it, given Apple's exclusive relationship with GT.

- Chinese sites report Apple's (AAPL +1.4%) iWatch will feature sapphire cover glass, but its next-gen iPhone won't due to cost concerns.
- Apple sapphire manufacturing partner GT Advanced (GTAT -5.1%) is selling off, while Gorilla Glass supplier Corning (GLW +1.4%) is following the tech sector higher.
- 9to5 Mac reported last week GT has received delivery of 518 sapphire chamber/furnace systems - enough, according to one analyst, to provide cover glass for 103M-116M 5" iPhones per year - and is ordering another 420 systems.
- It's worth noting Apple is generally believed to obtain a 50%+ gross margin on its latest-gen iPhones, and hasn't been scared in the past to use costlier components for the sake of improving the user experience.

- Though Corning (GLW -7.8%) beat Q4 estimates and is guiding for its display technologies (LCD TV/monitor glass) volumes to be "in-line with normal seasonality" in Q1 (down slightly Q/Q), it also "expects LCD glass price declines to be higher than previous quarters."
- Price declines are expected to "return to moderate levels" afterwards, and Corning expects 2014 retail demand (in terms of sq. feet) to be "up a mid-to-high single digit percentage."
- Display technologies sales (33% of total) fell 5% Y/Y in Q4 to $665M after growing 7% in Q3; the segment's core earnings were flat. Optical communications (fiber) sales rose 12% to $605M vs. 24% in Q3, but an unfavorable mix and shutdowns led earnings to drop 18%.
- Specialty materials (Gorilla Glass) sales fell 29% to $285M vs. a 10% drop in Q3 (customer inventories are blamed). But sales are expected to be flat in Q1. Environmental technologies +9% to $238M vs. -3% in Q3, life sciences (lifted by M&A) +14% to $185M vs. +39%.
- Environmental sales are expected to be up by a mid-single digit % in Q1 and optical sales by a mid-teens %. Life sciences sales are expected to be flat.
- Q4 gross margin was 40%, down 400 bps Q/Q and 200 bps Y/Y. Gorilla Glass declines and optical mix are blamed. Thanks to the Samsung deal, $1.08B was spent on buybacks, which boosted EPS. SG&A spend -7% Y/Y to $332M, R&D -23% to $169M.

Friday, Jan 245:36 PM
- Taiwan's Apple Daily reports (translation) Foxconn has built at least 100 iPhone (AAPL -1.8%) prototypes featuring sapphire cover glass. The paper also reports two existing sapphire suppliers have recently made big equipment/tooling investments; Apple already uses sapphire in its iPhone home buttons and camera lens covers.
- The report comes two months after Apple announce a major sapphire production/supply deal with GT Advanced (GTAT +0.9%), one that naturally fueled speculation sapphire will be used as a cover glass in future iDevices.
- Corning (GLW -4.1%) investors have been on edge over Apple's moves, and their potential to drive broader mobile adoption of sapphire (thereby displacing Gorilla Glass).
- Separately, 9to5 Mac reports a new Apple TV set-top is set to arrive in 1H14, and iLounge reports a refreshed Apple TV will feature "proper game support." With iOS 7 supporting physical game controllers, Apple TV has already been expected by many to become a casual gaming console. Logitech (LOGI), which has already rolled out an iPhone game controller, wouldn't mind.
- Yesterday: Apple reportedly launching two larger iPhones in 2H14

Friday, Jan 31:56 PM
- Corning (GLW +0.5%) is working with Taiwanese manufacturer G-Tech Optoelectronics to bring 3D-shaped Gorilla Glass parts to market in 2014. The glass-forming technology needed to produce the parts is said to be manufacturing-ready. (PR)
- The 3D parts target a burgeoning market for mobile and wearable devices with curved and/or form-fitting glass. Samsung and LG recently launched phones with curved OLED displays, and Apple is reportedly prepping both an iWatch and larger iPhones featuring curved glass.
- Corning has already launched Willow Glass, a bendable product that could find its way into smartwatches and other wrap-around devices. The company is looking to fend off a looming threat from sapphire glass suppliers such as GT Advanced (GTAT +1.8%), which recently struck a big supply deal with Apple.

Wednesday, Nov 202013, 9:22 AM
- Ahead of CFO James Flaws' 1:45PM ET UBS conference talk (webcast), Corning (GLW) reiterates it expects Q4 earnings to be down Q/Q due to both seasonality and "specific business factors," such as weakness in its optical fiber business. (PR)
- As it is, Corning's Q4 EPS consensus is at $0.28, below reported Q3 EPS of $0.33.
- Corning also states it expects Specialty Materials sales (inc. Gorilla Glass) to be down 20% Y/Y, something attributed to inventory builds a year ago. Corning previously guided for Specialty Materials sales to be flat Q/Q in Q4; that implied an 18% Y/Y drop. The company promises a subsequent return to growth, fueled by smartphone, tablet, and notebook demand.
- In an effort to address worries about GT Advanced's (GTAT) big sapphire supply deal with Apple, Corning asserts it "continues to innovate with Apple to advance the state of the art with even tougher versions of [Gorilla Glass]," and that it continues to work on improving Gorilla Glass' durability and scratch-resistance (two key selling points for sapphire).
- Shares -0.6% premarket.

Tuesday, Nov 52013, 11:03 AM
- GT Advanced (GTAT +23.4%) has caught four upgrades and soared to new 52-week highs after striking a huge sapphire supply deal Apple. Rubicon (RBCN +25.3%) is also flying higher. Corning (GLW -2.9%), meanwhile, is heading in the opposite direction as investors worry Apple (and perhaps also peers) will begin using sapphire instead of Gorilla Glass to cover smartphone/tablet displays.
- The deal still has some skeptics; they point to the fact GT's sapphire materials sales to Apple are expected carry much lower gross margins than its traditional equipment sales, that Apple isn't providing any purchase commitments, and that exclusivity requirements stand to limit GT's sales to other mobile OEMs. But by and large, optimism about the opening of a major new market opportunity long targeted by GT is overshadowing these concerns.
- Cantor is defending Corning, arguing sapphire will more likely be used in small form-factor Apple devices (an iWatch?) than in iPhone/iPad displays. Sterne Agee estimates Apple accounts for 10%-15% of Corning's phone-related sales.
- GT's management refrained from providing additional details about Apple on the CC (transcript); Apple tends to demand heavy secrecy from suppliers. But they did strike an optimistic tone about sapphire pricing and furnace utilization rates among traditional clients, and predicted customers will likely " start taking delivery of backlog at a faster pace, as [GT's] capacity opens up again." GT also claimed to be making good progress in commercializing its Hyperion tech (set for a 2015 launch) for solar applications;
- On the other hand, GT doesn't think the solar equipment market will "show significant opportunity" before 2015.
Tuesday, Nov 52013, 11:03 AM| 3 Comments -
Monday, Nov 42013, 4:41 PM
- The deal, announced within GT Advanced's (GTAT) Q3 report, calls on GT to supply Apple (AAPL) with sapphire via furnaces the former company will own/operate at an Arizona facility owned by the latter.
- GT plans to employ 700+ people at the facility, and Apple will be providing GT with a $578M prepayment to assist with the efforts. GT will reimburse Apple for the prepayment over five years, starting in 2015.
- The magnitude of the initiative suggests Apple plans to use sapphire cover glass to protect the displays used in future iOS hardware (perhaps including 2014 iPhones/iPads). Rumors about such a move have been around for a while, heightened by Apple's use of sapphire to protect iPhone camera lenses and the iPhone 5S' home button.
- Assuming Apple uses GT's sapphire with iOS hardware displays, the deal is a negative for Gorilla Glass supplier Corning (GLW), particularly since it could encourage other mobile OEMs to embrace sapphire and improve its economies of scale. Sapphire is thinner, stronger, and more scratch-resistant than current cover glass solutions such as Gorilla Glass, but is also much costlier.
- On account of the Apple deal, GT has "accelerated the development of its next generation, large capacity ASF furnaces." The company expects these efforts to aid its efforts to offer next-gen furnaces to traditional customers in other market segments (LEDs, industrial manufacturing, etc.).
- Update: Arizona's governor's office announces Apple will be building a new facility in Mesa, AZ. 1.3K construction jobs will be created to go with GT's 700+ manufacturing jobs. Corning is now down 1.2% AH.

- Though Corning's (GLW -1.6%) Q3 results and Q4 outlook are in-line with the numbers/commentary it provided on Oct. 22, shares are giving back a sliver of the massive gains they saw last week in response to the Samsung deal.
- Display Technologies sales (inc. LCD TV glass) +7% Y/Y to $689M after rising 21% in Q2. Glass volumes rose at a low-teens rate Y/Y, and price declines were "moderate."
- LCD glass volumes are expected to be down by a low single-digit % Q/Q in Q4, and price declines "consistent with recent quarters." Global TV demand is in-line with expectations. By giving Corning full ownership of Samsung Corning, the Samsung deal should boost Corning's LCD glass numbers in time.
- Telecom sales +24% Y/Y to $650M after rising 8% in Q2. But they're expected to be down slightly Y/Y in Q4 due to weakening optical fiber sales.
- Specialty Materials sales (inc. Gorilla Glass) -10% Y/Y to $326 after rising 2% in Q2. Sales are expected to be flat Q/Q, which implies an 18% Y/Y drop.
- Environmental Technologies -3% Y/Y to $225M, better than Q2's -8%. Life Sciences (boosted by M&A) +39% to $215M vs. +35% in Q2.
- Gross margin was 44%, +100 bps Q/Q and Y/Y. $209M was spent on buybacks. Opex -3% Y/Y thanks to job cuts.

I know there's a thread around here already BURIED somewhere.... anyways: I wear a shirt.woot Mens Small because the medium is well baggy. Are the smalls here tighter at the shoulders/biceps? Nearly identical? I just don't want to buy three smalls and have the sleeves tear when I flex. lol. You can laugh but I've ruined a couple nice dress shirts that way. Granted tshirts flex, but... I still don't want them tight.

biotwist264 weeks agoif you stop working out it wont be a problem :)
icecube264 weeks ago@biotwist, :o noo!
I wear a shirt.woot MS as well and comparatively, I find the TeeFury (Alstyle) shirts a bit looser. -
Theo264 weeks agoThanks icecube
kizat264 weeks agoYou can always try the bigger of the two sizes... if M is too big for you then you can wash it in hot water... if it's still big, than you know that small will probably work...
but if you go small and wreck the shirt, then you can't even wear it baggy. -
maskoficarus264 weeks agoI'm in the same boat and have been doing what kizat suggests.
Wash the shirts in super warm water and they shrink nice and good.
It has worked out fine for me. -
bleou264 weeks agothat's hot. the only suggestion i have is to just not wear a shirt. haha

Funboards (Minimals) are great boards to learn on or surf at any standard. A Minimal gives that little extra to help you get into the waves - a really enjoyable surfing experience. There is a good reason these boards are sometimes referred to as funboards! Find out more about the funboard setup and the different design features using the related links.
