In October, Irish cider giant C&C group ponied up $305 million to buy Vermont Hard Cider, the company that makes Woodchuck. To put that number in perspective, the owner of Vermont Hard Cider bought the company in 2003 for $2.3 million. That's a 132-fold increase in the company's value over nine years.
In the midst of the cider boom, American alcohol companies are seeking to get into the apple game. In April, The Boston Beer Company, makers of Sam Adams, launched Angry Orchard hard cider nationally. The company's third-quarter report says sales of the new product are strong.
What's the reason for this sweet success? A recent article in TIME suggests that the popularity of craft beer has made consumers more adventurous and more willing to try new products. Cider also benefits from popularity among women: "Whereas 80 percent of beer companies' consumers are male, cider is gender-neutral, opening up a market in which beer players have struggled," the article quotes from a 2011 Nomura Equity Research report.

This Weekend: Our First Orchid Evening!
Posted in Programs and Events on March 7th, 2014 by Lansing Moore – Be the first to commentTomorrow is our inaugural Orchid Evening! This special event series, now back for another season, gives guests the chance to admire The Orchid Show: Key West Contemporary in the romantic softness of evening light. There is still time to get tickets so you can spend tomorrow evening admiring dozens of rare varieties of orchids, while enjoying music and finely crafted cocktails with a botanical twist.
The very next afternoon is a special lecture on the history and lore of the orchid by Marc Hachadourian, Curator of the Orchid Collection at The New York Botanical Garden. From medicines to aphrodisiacs, generations from around the world have been captivated by these magical and mysterious flowers.
The Enid A. Haupt Conservatory is a much-loved part of the Garden because of how many environments it can encompass—desert on the right, rainforest on the left, you name it. This year we turned the dial to full-on Florida for The Orchid Show, and stepping into the languid humidity and fresh fragrances of the tropical South is as close as we New Yorkers can get to the Florida Keys right now—without any mosquitoes, either! Click through for this weekend's full roster of exciting orchid programs.

One of RFI's Swahili service's correspondents in Burundi, Hassan Ruvakuki, has been jailed for life, along with 13 other defendants, after being found guilty of "terrorist acts" because he interviewed the leader of a rebel group based in neighbouring Tanzania. Ruvakuki, who also works for Bonesha FM radio, was arrested in November after the Forces for the Restoration of Democracy (FRD) carried out a deadly attack in the eastern town of Cankuzo.
Along with three other people, he was accused of complicity in the attack and giving it publicity because he interviewed its leader in Tanzania.
On 20 June a Cankuzo court found Ruvakuki and 13 other defendants guilty of working with the FRD and gave them a life sentence.
Nine other defendants were imprisoned for 15 years.
Ruvakuki is to appeal but has been unable to do so so far because the court has not given a copy of its judgement to the defence, according to his lawyer Onesime Kabayabaya.
Human rights groups in Burundi declared the verdict "unjust" and "wicked".
"I don't know why they were in such a hurry to jail a journalist who was only doing his job," declared Pacifique Nininahazwe, of the Forsc coalition of rights groups, on Saturday. "In fact the problem in this country is that the judicial system is not independent."
Paris-based Reporters Sans Frontières has also condemned the verdict, as have the journalists's association at RFI and the French journalists' union, SNJ.
Burundian journalists are considering a boycott of independence celebration on 1 July in protest at the verdict and several radio stations have condemned it.

Bean details what could be cut in County budget
06/01/07 Mitch E. PerryWMNF Drive-Time News Friday | Listen to this entire show:
As the state legislature prepares for a potential reduction in property taxes, Hillsborough County Administrator Pat Bean said today she wanted County residents to fully understand the implications of what that could mean for County residents. (roll tape#1 o.q.â€that is , what we will doâ€) What she is referring to are budget cuts to local services, which could range from $46 million if a Senate plan is approved, or $217 million if a plan proposed by House Speaker Marco Rubio was approved. Of course, other plans could still eminate from Tallahassee, as the Legislature convenes in a special session later this month. Late last month, Bean issued a memo announcing a hiring freeze in the County Government. She also told employees to expect layoffs, but did not specify departments where the cuts would be. Today she did.. he first round of cuts would cancel the planned construction of seven libraries and 10 fire stations and the elimination of 45 jobs,. Salary increases would be scaled back, but not eliminated. However, if the county loses $108 million – the amount a compromise property tax reduction plan is expected to cost Hillsborough – then code enforcement, staff for the Westgate Senior Center and some Fire Rescue services would be cut. Several positions in the county's Parks, Recreation and Conservation Department would also be cut, including workers at dog parks, ball fields and other facilities. The plan would also eliminate 233 positions, most of which would come from the parks, Aging Services and wetlands mitigation programs. (roll tape#2 o.q.â€it's not that') If and when property taxes are cut, the shoe will drop completely on City and County governments – not on schools. Unlike Proposition 13, the infamous measure that California citizens approved in their own version of a tax revolt 29 years ago, schools will not be affected by the cuts – just local government. Speaking to National Public Radio, Florida Governor Charlie Crist assailed local governments for saying that a major property tax cut means police and firefighters jobs could be affected…He has accused local governments of complaining too much. But local governments seem to have an argument when they say that not only will they have to pick up the pieces from a property taxes, but are also being hit with unfunded mandates from the state, such as having to pay to make the transition from touch screen voting machines to those with a paper trail (roll tape#3 o.q.â€another unfunded mandateâ€) The Property tax crises has erupted in part because of escalating property appraisals – which have given local governments more money to spend each year. But County Administrator Pat Bean insists that the County has been responsible in its spending, though she admitted that they could tighten their belts even more. And seemed to get defensive when asked by a reporter if she was advocating that the property tax cut not go through (roll tape#4 o.q.â€is going to be laid offâ€â€_)
The proposed cuts will be discussed next Wednesday at the next Hillsborough County Commission meeting.

Cons: Not robust even with Sony camera inputs; unimaginative engineering; poor for 3rd gen product
Summary: This is Sony's third attempt but lame. Can not be used to migrate photos from Sony's own DVD cameras. Can use to compile videos on single disc but no indication of remaining space/time so you can plan. However if you try to add something it can detect when not enough space is available - go figure! Documentation does not match actual Sony Handycam camera menus (at least in USB mode).

It has been interesting to watch the changing treatment of DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ). As you likely know, DCIS is sometimes called "Stage 0" or "pre-cancer". It is not invasive, but contained within the ducts. As long as it stays there, it is not dangerous or a health threat. Doctors and scientists have not yet been able to figure out how to distinguish DCIS that would stay in the ducts forever, and DCIS that is going to gradually morph into an invasive cancer and be a larger problem.
Therefore, everyone with DCIS is treated. Clearly, this is another arena that likely will change in the future as more is understood about an individual situation.
For now, however, DCIS is treated either with a lumpectomy and radiation therapy or, sometimes, by mastectomy (depending on how large the involved area is). Often, it is then recommended that women take five years of Tamoxifen, not to treat what has already happened (since it is not cancer and not dangerous), but to minimize the risk of a future cancer. This is an article from the Journal of Clinical Oncology about that situation. It suggests that this is an important treatment for women with ER positive DCIS.
Here is the abstract and then a link:
PurposeThe NSABP (National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project) B-24 study demonstrated significant benefit with adjuvant tamoxifen in patients with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) after lumpectomy and radiation. Patients were enrolled without knowledge of hormone receptor status. The current study retrospectively evaluated the relationship between receptors and response to tamoxifen.
Patients and MethodsEstrogen (ER) and progesterone receptors (PgR) were evaluated in 732 patients with DCIS (41% of original study population). An experienced central laboratory determined receptor status in all patient cases with available paraffin blocks (n ! 449) by immunohistochemistry (IHC) using comprehensively validated assays. Results for additional patients (n ! 283) determined by various methods (primarily IHC) were available from enrolling institutions. Combined results were evaluated for benefit of tamoxifen by receptor status at 10 years and overall follow-up (median, 14.5 years).
ResultsER was positive in 76% of patients. Patients with ER-positive DCIS treated with tamoxifen (v placebo) showed significant decreases in subsequent breast cancer at 10 years (hazard ratio [HR], 0.49; P " .001) and overall follow-up (HR, 0.60; P ! .003), which remained significant in multivariable analysis (overall HR, 0.64; P ! .003). Results were similar, but less significant, when subsequent ipsilateral and contralateral, invasive and noninvasive, breast cancers were considered separately. No significant benefit was observed in ER-negative DCIS. PgR and either receptor were positive in 66% and 79% of patients, respectively, and in general, neither was more predictive than ER alone.
ConclusionPatients in NSABP B-24 with ER-positive DCIS receiving adjuvant tamoxifen after standard therapy showed significant reductions in subsequent breast cancer. The use of adjuvant tamoxifen should be considered for patients with DCIS.

The SELMA 96 / 384 is a semi-automated pipetting system, which processes liquid handling steps fast, precise and with a high reproducibility. Equipped with 96 or 384 tips working in parallel, 96 and 384 well microplates can be filled in the twinkling of an eye. Making painful tendonitis a thing of the past. All movements and processes, which important for high precision as well as for reproducibility, are achieved by reliable motors. This ensures always excellent and constant results.
The automated tip drawing feature avoids the complex process of mounting tips. Prepackaged tips can be used immediately with no time-consuming loading process. A special feature: The manual control of the correct fit of each single tip is not necessary anymore due to the automatic tightening of the tips and the tip sealing technology, that has been proven effective under high throughput conditions. Tips can be changed effortlessly within a few seconds, after which the SELMA 96 / 384 is ready for the next application.
The SELMA 96 / 384 is characterized trough very easy handling without the need of a separate controlling by PC. Pipetting, dispensing and a lot of more modes are chooseable by the usage of a modern 3.5"" touchscreen. That panel is used for entering desired parameters, as volume and pipetting speed for instance and for the start of the routine afterwards. All manual processing steps, like changing of microplates, are shown on the display. Thus a fast and precise handling of microplates is guaranteed.

Please contact OAG for help with finding or completing research training. Required CITI Certification Regis University requires Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) research training for faculty and students participating in research activities. The Institutional Review Board (IRB) at Regis University recognizes the value of the multiple methodological approaches taught and employed at Regis University. Central to all these methods is the rights and protection of human subjects who participate in our research and learning. Based on federal guidelines and, moreover, the basic grounding principle of Regis University "How ought we to live?" the IRB Committee at Regis University makes the following policy recommendations. All Regis University faculty teaching research method classes, capstone classes and allied coursework that involves data gathering from primary sources be CITI certified.* All students at Regis University participating in research method classes, capstone classes and allied coursework that involves data gathering from primary sources be CITI certified, if the IRB deems the research is expedited or requiring full board review.* All faculty and students at Regis University engaging in primary independent research that involves human subject participation be CITI certified.* All Regis University faculty who wish to obtain an authorized proxy (formerly omnibus approval qualification) and thus serve as a proxy for a specific course at Regis University must be CITI certified.* Proxies or a college/school/department designee will retain all required paper work for human subject approval and will be under the oversight of the IRB. Rationale for these recommendations Federal guidelines; federal grant requirements to affirm University compliance Uphold the academic integrity of the University Application of the Regis "nine' Promote and foster a culture of quality research at Regis Increase the speed and efficiency of the research review process at Regis Oversight of all research done at Regis Assessment of the amount of research done at Regis What is CITI? Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) is an IRB certification hosted by the University of Miami. Currently it is serving over 1600 higher learning institutions and organizations worldwide. What CITI modules are required? The required modules are found under the CITI Social Behavioral Research (SBR) Investigators and Key Personnel Group/Stage 1 Basic courses. IRB will assist faculty and students in locating this online training. Once completed, the faculty or student will print copies of the certificates for their records and an IRB file. The following CITI modules will be required. Introduction (no quiz) History and Ethical Principles - SBR The Regulations and the Social and Behavioral Sciences - SBR Assessing Risk in Social and Behavioral Sciences - SBR Informed Consent - SBR Privacy and confidentiality - SBR These modules are necessary but not necessarily sufficient. Training other than the Social Behavioral Research modules may be required (e.g., Biomedical module Other Social Behavioral Research modules may be required depending on the type of research being conducted. For example (but not limited to), a person working with children would be required to complete the Research with Children module; a person working with the prison population would be required to complete the Research with Prisoners module; as person working in the public school system would be required to complete the Research in Public Elementary and Secondary Schools module; a person doing international research would be required to complete the International Research module. * All references to CITI certification are intended to mean current CITI certification. Please contact OAG for help with CITI registration, or follow these directions. NIH Grants Training The Office of Academic Grants (OAG) has acquired excellent training webinars for faculty applying for research grants from the National Institute of Health (NIH). Each webinar also has an accompanying handout. NOTE: You will need your RegisNET account login to access these training materials.

I remember when Budweiser American Ale came out on the market. This was one of the only Anheuser Busch beers with a pull cap not a twist off. This was a drak beer with a bold taste. It is a shame they do not brew this beer anymore. I would get it time after time it was something different from the Budweiser or Michelob. Overall I gave this beer a 3.

Best restrooms and showers we have ever seen! Entire campground was clean with either asphalt, concrete, gravel or grass (no mud!). Nice location outside of busy Gatlinburg. Pool was nice, small playground, didn't use the Clubhouse but it looked nice and had AC. Would stay again.

Premium site had fantastic view however a giant class A in next site was practically parked on top of our fire pit and had the air fan blowing constantly. Would recommend P5 or P6 sites. Individual shower with restroom were OK but could have been cleaner and would have been nicer with AC. Nothing for the kids. This campground is mostly about the view.

Aging in Place in Upstate New York |
October 31, 2007
Note to Editors | |
BUFFALO, NY—The Buffalo Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York today released Aging in Place in Upstate New York, the latest issue of the Branch's Upstate New York Regional Review. According to author Jane Humphreys, Branch regional analyst, senior homeowners may find it hard to remain in their homes as they grow older, or "age in place," because of a growing disparity between the features of the houses they own and the housing they need. The author concludes that demand for housing services and products that enable
aging in place will likely create opportunities as well as challenges for both
the private and public sectors. Aging in Place in Upstate New York ›› Contact: Katie Krawczyk |

Hi guys,
Just opened the back drivers side door and water started coming out of the two little holes at the bottom. I could see they were full of crud (dunno how) so I got something to poke in the holes and water started pouring out! There was enough to make a puddle on the floor. I cleaned out the holes, let it all drain out and squirted some wd40 in there.
Is that enough to sort it? Is there a prob that causes water build up?
Sorry to be a pain

Hi All!
What a roller coaster the summer of 2013 was! The euphoria of the Defense of Marriage Act and Prop H8 going down at the Supreme Court, GETTING MARRIED on that very same day as the Supreme Court decisions, and now my husband Alistair and I are applying for a green card.
So amazing this has finally happened and DOMA is overturned as regards Federal recognition. After all these years! And finally after almost twenty years being a couple, Alistair and I will go to Australia together for the very first time. Alistair has not seen his family in Australia for seventeen years.
Even as I sense my shows of the last dozen years - built around DOMA, Prop 8 and our immigration situation- suddenly no longer need to be performed in quite the same way , I am really interested in what comes next. What do we do now as the difference between the states becomes even starker. Much more profound and real than the red-blue false binary of presidential politics. How we deal with Alabama or North Carolina or Florida or Texas where gay people have no rights, where women are under attack, and voter suppression is the rule of the land. This becomes a real conundrum.
I am excited to think how I will recalibrate my performance work to this new reality just as I did in 1996 when almost overnight the reality of AIDS changed and those 10 years of performances I did exploring AIDS was suddenly in a new place. I have also been thinking a lot about other moments like this. In 1989 with the abrupt shift in eastern euro political and theatre praxis that brought us Vaclav Havel as President of Czechoslovakia before long. Or Viet Nam protest theater & performance and protest praxis that screeched to a halt after 72...and on and on! I guess if we do social text work we should hope that the performances themselves become no longer necessary in the same way and move along to new subjects! Hmmm, how about Economic Injustice, Voter Suppression, Climate Change for starters! Not to mention the 35 states still without marriage equality!
Meanwhile the Fall is rolling with many performances and residencies as you see below. And a sneak peek to the new year with a big project in 2014 Australia at Theatre Works in Melbourne and another main season devised performance at Ft Lewis College in Colorado that we will then take to the American College Theater Festival!

Meteor shower
A meteor shower is a celestial event in which a number of meteors are observed to radiate, or originate, from one point in the night sky. These meteors are caused by streams of cosmic debris called meteoroids entering Earth's atmosphere at extremely high speeds on parallel trajectories. Most meteors are smaller than a grain of sand, so almost all of them disintegrate and never hit the Earth's surface. Intense or unusual meteor showers are known as meteor outbursts and meteor storms, which may produce greater than 1,000 meteors an hour.[1]
The radiant point[edit]
Because meteor shower particles are all traveling in parallel paths, and at the same velocity, they will all appear to an observer below to radiate away from a single point in the sky. This radiant point is caused by the effect of perspective, similar to parallel railroad tracks converging at a single vanishing point on the horizon when viewed from the middle of the tracks. Meteor showers are almost always named after the constellation from which the meteors appear to originate. This "fixed point" slowly moves across the sky during the night due to the Earth turning on its axis, the same reason the stars appear to slowly march across the sky. The radiant also moves slightly from night to night against the background stars (radiant drift) due to the Earth moving in its orbit around the sun. See IMO Meteor Shower Calendar 2007 (International Meteor Organization) for maps of drifting "fixed points." The radiant must be above the observer's local horizon in order for meteors from that particular shower to be visible.
When the moving radiant is at the highest point it will reach in the observer's sky that night, the sun will be just clearing the eastern horizon. For this reason, the best viewing time for a meteor shower is generally slightly before dawn — a compromise between the maximum number of meteors available for viewing, and the lightening sky which makes them harder to see.
Meteor showers are named after the nearest bright star with a Greek or Roman letter assigned that is close to the radiant position at the peak of the shower, whereby the grammatical declension of the Latin possessive form is replaced by "id" or "ids". Hence, meteors radiating from near the star delta Aquarii (declension "-i") are called delta Aquariids. The International Astronomical Union's Task Group on Meteor Shower Nomenclature and the IAU's Meteor Data Center keep track of meteor shower nomenclature and which showers are established.
The origin of meteoroid streams[edit]
A meteor shower is the result of an interaction between a planet, such as Earth, and streams of debris from a comet. Comets can produce debris by water vapor drag, as demonstrated by Fred Whipple in 1951,[2] and by breakup. Whipple envisioned comets as "dirty snowballs," made up of rock embedded in ice, orbiting the Sun. The "ice" may be water, methane, ammonia, or other volatiles, alone or in combination. The "rock" may vary in size from that of a dust mote to that of a small boulder. Dust mote sized solids are orders of magnitude more common than those the size of sand grains, which, in turn, are similarly more common than those the size of pebbles, and so on. When the ice warms and sublimates, the vapor can drag along dust, sand, and pebbles.
Each time a comet swings by the Sun in its orbit, some of its ice vaporizes and a certain amount of meteoroids will be shed. The meteoroids spread out along the entire orbit of the comet to form a meteoroid stream, also known as a "dust trail" (as opposed to a comet's "dust tail" caused by the very small particles that are quickly blown away by solar radiation pressure).
Recently, Peter Jenniskens[3] has argued that most of our short-period meteor showers are not from the normal water vapor drag of active comets, but the product of infrequent disintegrations, when large chunks break off a mostly dormant comet. Examples are the Quadrantids and Geminids, which originated from a breakup of asteroid-looking objects, 2003 EH1 and 3200 Phaethon, respectively, about 500 and 1000 years ago. The fragments tend to fall apart quickly into dust, sand, and pebbles, and spread out along the orbit of the comet to form a dense meteoroid stream, which subsequently evolves into Earth's path.
The dynamical evolution of meteoroid streams[edit]
Shortly after Whipple predicted that dust particles travelled at low speeds relative to the comet, Milos Plavec was the first to offer the idea of a dust trail, when he calculated how meteroids, once freed from the comet, would drift mostly in front of or behind the comet after completing one orbit. The effect is simple orbital mechanics – the material drifts only a little laterally away from the comet while drifting ahead or behind the comet because some particles make a wider orbit than others.[3] These dust trails are sometimes observed in comet images taken at mid infrared wavelengths (heat radiation), where dust particles from the previous return to the Sun are spread along the orbit of the comet (see figures).
The gravitational pull of the planets determines where the dust trail would pass by Earth orbit, much like a gardener directing a hose to water a distant plant. Most years, those trails would miss the Earth altogether, but in some years the Earth is showered by meteors. This effect was first demonstrated from observations of the 1995 alpha Monocerotids,[4][5] and from earlier not widely known identifications of past earth storms.
The first great storm in modern times was the Leonids of November 1833. One estimate is over one hundred thousand meteors an hour,[6] but another, done as the storm abated, estimated in excess of two hundred thousand meteors an hour[7] over the entire region of North America east of the Rocky Mountains. American Denison Olmsted (1791−1859) explained the event most accurately. After spending the last weeks of 1833 collecting information he presented his findings in January 1834 to the American Journal of Science and Arts, published in January–April 1834,[8] and January 1836.[9] He noted the shower was of short duration and was not seen in Europe, and that the meteors radiated from a point in the constellation of Leo and he speculated the meteors had originated from a cloud of particles in space.[10] Work continued, however, coming to understand the annual nature of showers though the occurrences of storms perplexed researchers.[11]
In the 1890s, Irish astronomer George Johnstone Stoney (1826–1911) and British astronomer Arthur Matthew Weld Downing (1850–1917), were the first to attempt to calculate the position of the dust at Earth's orbit. They studied the dust ejected in 1866 by comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle in advance of the anticipated Leonid shower return of 1898 and 1899. Meteor storms were anticipated, but the final calculations showed that most of the dust would be far inside of Earth's orbit. The same results were independently arrived at by Adolf Berberich of the Königliches Astronomisches Rechen Institut (Royal Astronomical Computation Institute) in Berlin, Germany. Although the absence of meteor storms that season confirmed the calculations, the advance of much better computing tools was needed to arrive at reliable predictions.
In 1981 Donald K. Yeomans of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory reviewed the history of meteor showers for the Leonids and the history of the dynamic orbit of Comet Tempel-Tuttle.[12] A graph [13] from it was adapted and re-published in Sky and Telescope.[14] It showed relative positions of the Earth and Tempel-Tuttle and marks where Earth encountered dense dust. This showed that the meteoroids are mostly behind and outside the path of the comet, but paths of the Earth through the cloud of particles resulting in powerful storms were very near paths of nearly no activity.
In 1985, E. D. Kondrat'eva and E. A. Reznikov of Kazan State University first correctly identified the years when dust was released which was responsible for several past Leonid meteor storms. In anticipation of the 1999 Leonid storm, Robert H. McNaught,[15] David Asher,[16] and Finland's Esko Lyytinen were the first to apply this method in the West.[17][18] Peter Jenniskens has published predictions for future dust trail encounters, resulting in meteor storms or meteor outbursts for the next 50 years.[3] Jérémie Vaubaillon continues to update predictions based on observartions each year for The Institut de Mecanique Celeste et de Calcul des Ephemerides (IMCCE).[19]
Over longer periods of time, the dust trails can evolve in complicated ways. For example, the orbits of some repeating comets, and meteoroids leaving them, are in resonant orbits with Jupiter or one of the other large planets – so many revolutions of one will equal another number of revolutions of the other. This creates a shower component called a filament.
A second effect is a close encounter with a planet. When the meteoroids pass by Earth, some are accelerated (making wider orbits around the Sun), others are decelerated (making shorter orbits), resulting in gaps in the dust trail in the next return (like opening a curtain, with grains piling up at the beginning and end of the gap). Also, Jupiter's perturbation can change sections of the dust trail dramatically, especially for short period comets, when the grains approach the big planet at their furthest point along the orbit around the Sun, moving most slowly. As a result, the trail has a clumping, a braiding or a tangling of crescents, of each individual release of material.
The third effect is that of radiation pressure which will push less massive particles into orbits further from the sun – while more massive objects (responsible for bolides or fireballs) will tend to be affected less by radiation pressure. This makes some dust trail encounters rich in bright meteors, others rich in faint meteors. Over time, these effects disperse the meteoroids and create a broader stream. The meteors we see from these streams are part of annual showers, because Earth encounters those streams every year at much the same rate.
When the meteoroids collide with other meteoroids in the zodiacal cloud, they lose their stream association and become part of the "sporadic meteors" background. Long since dispersed from any stream or trail, they form isolated meteors, not a part of any shower. These random meteors will not appear to come from the radiant of the main shower.
Famous meteor showers[edit]
Perseid and Leonid meteor showers[edit]
The most visible meteor shower in most years are the Perseids, which peak on 12 August of each year at over one meteor per minute. NASA has a useful tool to calculate how many meteors per hour are visible from your observing location.
The Leonid meteor shower peaks around 17 November of each year. Approximately every 33 years, the Leonid shower produces a meteor storm, peaking at rates of thousands of meteors per hour. Leonid storms gave birth to the term meteor shower when it was first realised, during the November 1833 storm, that the meteors radiated from near the star Gamma Leonis. The last Leonid storms were in 1999, 2001 (two), and 2002 (two). Before that, there were storms in 1767, 1799, 1833, 1866, 1867, and 1966. When the Leonid shower is not storming it is less active than the Perseids.

Extraterrestrial meteor showers[edit]
Any other solar system body with a reasonably transparent atmosphere can also have meteor showers. For instance, Mars is known to have meteor showers,[35] although these are different from the ones seen on Earth because the different orbits of Mars and Earth intersect orbits of comets in different ways.
Although the Martian atmosphere has less than one percent of the density of Earth's at ground level, at their upper edges, where meteoroids strike, the two are more similar. Because of the similar air pressure at altitudes for meteors, the effects are much the same. Only the relatively slower motion of the meteoroids due to increased distance from the sun should marginally decrease meteor brightness. This is somewhat balanced in that the slower descent means that Martian meteors have more time in which to ablate.[36]
On March 7, 2004, the panoramic camera on Mars Exploration Rover Spirit recorded a streak which is now believed to have been caused by a meteor from a Martian meteor shower associated with comet 114P/Wiseman-Skiff. A strong display from this shower was expected on December 20, 2007. Other showers speculated about are a "Lambda Geminid" shower associated with the Eta Aquariids of Earth (i.e., both associated with Comet 1P/Halley), a "Beta Canis Major" shower associated with Comet 13P/Olbers, and "Draconids" from 5335 Damocles.[37]

Pop-Up Book Of Lights: A Hit For The Illiterate
The Book Of Lights is a pop-up LED lamp cleverly disguised as a linen-bound hardcover book. You open that shit up and POP!, an LED lamp. They come in traditional lampshade and Parisian streetlamp models, and run a staggering $95. Pretty expensive for some paper, a battery, and some LEDs, but it is a neat concept. Throw in a monster face with red LEDs and a prerecorded blood-curdling scream, and you've got something I'd read to the kids before bed. The little bastards.
Book Of Lights Is A Light In A Book [ohgizmo]
The Mark bookmark just won the Red Dot Award for best design concept in 2007 so it may be available soon. It's a bookmark embedded with FOLEDs (flexible organic light emitting diodes) so that you can read in the dark by setting it on your book. The brightness level can be con... / Continue →

This is the Cereal Light by designer ideaka (aka Chris Haines). It looks like a glowing bowl of cereal and turns on and off with a touch of the spoon. Neat! This is just a prototype though, but Chris' website says they're going into production, so they may be available soon.... / Continue →

I am happy that you have found your way to our website. I hope the information you will find in these pages will be helpful to you as you seek to know our community better. It is with great joy that I begin my assignment as Vocation Director for our community. I have been blessed to work with Sr. Mary Emily in the vocation office over the course of several summers. She served our community well in this capacity and is now the principal of one of our schools. Sister will be missed, but she eagerly embraces the work God has for her in this new assignment. It is a wonderful gift to serve in the vocation office and to witness the beautiful work the Lord is doing in so many lives. Daily I see a willingness to say "yes" to his call and to give him everything. Vocations are the Lord's work, and so it is my role to be there when his work has resonated in the hearts of those who are so generously responding. The Lord has a plan of holiness for each of us, and through the process of discernment a young woman discovers how the Lord is specifically inviting her to live this out. Many are hearing the call to give everything and are seeking an authentic religious life that is joyfully lived. They have discovered that true happiness is realized in doing the Lord's will, and have found Pope Benedict XVI's words at the beginning of his pontificate to be true, "If we let Christ into our lives, we lose nothing, nothing, absolutely nothing of what makes life free, beautiful and great... He takes nothing away, and He gives you everything. When we give ourselves to Him, we receive a hundred-fold in return" (St. Peter's Square, April 24, 2005). If you have heard the Lord's gentle invitation to religious life, it may have taken you by surprise. Fear is not an uncommon response to the first stirrings of a religious vocation. As the Lord begins to make his will known, we may find ourselves saying, "Who, me?"... "But, I am not good enough, holy enough, pious enough!"… "What if I make a mistake?" However, if one is called to the religious life then, with time and prayer, fear turns to conviction and we can begin the first steps to finding and accepting his will. This conviction brings a peace and joy that nothing else can match. A young woman open to the call to give her whole life to Christ will find that she can only surrender to this irresistible prompting that He has placed within her heart. I am happy to help you in any way that I can. Please feel free to contact me with questions, knowing that I welcome the opportunity to share with you what it means to be a Dominican Sister of Saint Cecilia. The Lord desires to reveal his plan for your life, and will give you the grace to respond with a generous and joy-filled heart. In communion with Our Holy Father during this Year of Faith, "Let us turn in prayer to the Virgin Mary that in the whole Church priestly, religious and lay vocations ripen in service to the new evangelization" (Pope Benedict XVI, Angelus, September 18, 2011).
