Volcanology, Geochemistry, and Petrology Section
Newsletter: September 2014
Dear Colleagues,
Here is the September issue of the AGU Volcanology, Geochemistry, and Petrology (VGP) Section newsletter. Please visit the VGP website for additional news and information. Comments and suggestions may be sent to Sarah Fagents (email@example.com).
In this issue:
(1) Message from the President
(2) Vote In the 2014 AGU Elections
(3) Enthusiastic Volcanophile Volunteers Needed!
(4) AGU Fall Meeting, 15–19 December 2014
- VGP donations
Let's talk about money. In case you are not aware, VGP depends entirely on donations and sponsorships for its income. Last year VGP members generously donated nearly $7,000 to our section's fund, which helped to pay for VGP student travel awards and Outstanding Student Presentation Awards, the VGP booth at the Exploration Station, and food and wine at the VGP reception. However donations to VGP have decreased in the past few years, which means that we are currently spending more than we are earning. Clearly this isn't sustainable, and limits new or expanded activities. In order to continue to support our science (and students), we would ask you to consider kicking in a bit extra for the VGP Section Fund when you pay your 2015 dues. We are grateful for every donation, regardless of size.
- VGP election reminder
It's election time again and polls are open until 17 September (see item #2 below). Last time nearly 25% of VGP members cast their vote, which was an excellent turnout and above the average for other sections and focus groups. Let your voice be heard!
- VGP recipients of AGU honors and awards
The recipients of Union Awards for 2014 have been announced and three are affiliated with VGP:
Donald DePaolo (University of California Berkeley): Harry H. Hess Medal
Rajdeep Dasgupta (Rice University): James B. Macelwane Medal
David Shuster (University of California Berkeley): James B. Macelwane Medal
Congratulations to all!
I would also like to congratulate the six AGU Fellows elected for 2014 who are affiliated with VGP:
Jibamitra Ganguly (University of Arizona)
Michael O. Garcia (University of Hawai'i Mānoa)
James B. Gill (University of California Santa Cruz)
Mathilde Cannat (Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris)
Paul Randall Renne (University of California Berkeley)
Lawrence A. Taylor (University of Tennessee)
Thanks are due to Hans Keppler (VGP Fellows Chair) and his committee for their dedicated work.
We will recognise all VGP-affiliated Union Awardees and Fellows at the VGP reception to be held at the AGU Fall Meeting, as well as the Bowen and Kuno awardees and Daly Lecturer, the MSA Dana Medallist, and most especially the VGP recipients of student travel grants and last year's OSPA recipients. Details will be available on the Fall Meeting web site. I hope to see you there!
Catherine McCammon
AGU Section President, VGP
The 2014 AGU Elections are underway and members are electing leaders for the next term, which starts 1 January 2015. Elected AGU leaders will serve two years and will play an essential role in decisions on how to better serve and engage members in the advancement of AGU's mission and vision.
Take an active role in helping shape the future of AGU and our section by voting in the 2014 elections. This year, eligible voters receive a ballot for every section/focus group to which they belong, in addition to the AGU Board and student/early career ballots. The voting site has been improved, allowing you to cast as few or many votes as you'd like over 30 days, in one session or multiple sessions. Please look for your unique link from @directvote.net, then login and select the VGP ballot. It will only take a few minutes to review the candidate information and make your choice. Remember every vote counts!
VGP candidates:
– Richard J. Arculus
– William F. McDonough
Secretary Geochemistry:
– Cin-Ty Lee
– Anat Shahar
Secretary Volcanology and Petrology:
– Amanda B. Clarke
– Marie Edmonds
The election is open from 18 August through 17 September. Visit http://elections.agu.org/ for more information about the election.
Once again this year, the AGU VGP Section will be putting on an exciting exhibit for the public about volcanoes at the Exploration Station on Sunday afternoon, 14 December. The Exploration Station is an open house for local San Francisco families, teachers, and kids (as well as Fall Meeting attendees and their families) to learn about the interesting discoveries in the fields of Earth and space science, with lots of hands-on activities and fun for all ages. Because more than 500 people attend this event, we need lots of help, and have lots of different ways you can volunteer: work with the children who come to the exhibit (totally fun), help setting it up or cleaning up (still pretty fun…really!), or even get involved in the activity planning! We had a great time last year and intend to make it an even educational experience for everyone. Please contact Karen Harpp (email@example.com) if you would like to volunteer or need further information.
See here for more about the Exploration Station Program:

The 2014 AGU Fall Meeting in San Francisco (15-19 December) is going to be exciting and thought-provoking for all. The topics of the VGP sessions vary from early planetary accretion processes through shale reservoir science and technology to reducing vulnerability from Latin American volcanoes. And of course, many VGPers also will be interested in sessions in other sections. All sessions and abstracts will soon be available for you to peruse on the AGU website, and the meeting should be scheduled by the end of September. As always there will be so many sessions (see listing below) that choosing between them may be difficult and seeing every presentation impossible. We look forward to seeing all of you in San Francisco in December!
Vickie Bennett and Don Baker, VGP Secretaries

"The Audi A5 is a stylish two-door coupe that trades some practicality for good looks and desirability."
The Audi A5 is a comfortable coupe that competes with cars such as the BMW 4 Series coupe. It is good to look at and makes perfect sense if you want a stylish car, that's properly built and (in the case of the basic diesel version) very cheap to run, although it is not as much fun to drive as the BMW.
Audi offers plenty of engine choices with the A5, though, so if you're after quick pace the company's big 444bhp V8 petrol engine is the one to go for. Equipped with it, the A5 also gets Audi's Quattro four-wheel drive system, which means the A5 won't be fazed by slippery road conditions.
The flagship is not cheap to run, however, and Audi offers the A5, with a good range of engines to suit most budgets. That includes three petrol engines – a 1.8-litre (170bhp), 2.0-litre (225bhp), and a 3.0-litre (328bhp), plus four diesel engines. They are split between two 2.0-litre engines with 163 and 177bhp, and two 3.0-litre engines with 204 and 245bhp.
The payoff for the Audi A5's pretty looks are rear seats that are too cramped for adults on a long journey, but should be okay for kids. The interior of the A5 is made from high-quality materials and has fewer buttons than most, giving it a clean uncluttered look. It feels solidly built too; matching up to the reputation Audi has for making some of the best interiors on the market.
Basic trim level is SE, but it still comes with plenty of kit including a powerful stereo, 17-inch alloy wheels, DAB radio, and three-zone climate control. The latter allows you specify different temperatures for passengers sitting in the driver and passenger seats, plus the rear of the car.
There's a new A4 due in 2015 and a new A5 shouldn't be too far behind.
MPG, running costs & CO2
Running costs are surprisingly low
Picking which engine to go for shouldn't be difficult, because the range means that there's one to suit every budget.
The A5 Ultra Coupe replaces the 161bhp A5 TDIe in the range, but improves efficiency quite significantly. The new 161bhp 2.0 TDI engine means 0-62mph takes 8.3 seconds (0.1 of a second quicker than the old TDIe model). Audi claims fuel economy and CO2 emissions of 67.3mpg and 109g/km, respectively. That's better than the most economical BMW 4 Series coupe, as well as 3.1mpg and 6g/km better than the TDIe model it replaces.
The diesels come in various states of tune topping off with the 3.0-litre version, which is very quick but still capable of returning nearly 60mpg in front wheel-drive models.
The basic 1.8-litre petrol can manage 49.6mpg – still good for a petrol – which drops to 42.2mpg if you go for the fastest 2.0-litre model. The V8 RS5 model has lightning pace, but you'll need very deep pockets to run it.
Engines, drive & performance
Engines are smooth and powerful and the A5 is agile and fun
The 2.0-litre diesel Ultra may be our pick when it comes to economy, but it's impressively good when it comes to performance, too. Getting from 0-62mph takes just 8.3 seconds and it won't run out of puff until 140mph. Its suspension is lowered slightly to smooth out airflow under the car and reduce drag, but it doesn't seem to have made the suspension any firmer – it glides over all but the harshest bumps and stays rock steady in corners, too. Light steering means it's better at cruising than aggressive cornering, though.
The 3.0-litre is the fastest diesel and it can dispatch 0-62mph in just 5.8 seconds, before being limited to 155mph. The base-level 1.8-litre petrol can reach 0-62mph in 7.9 seconds, but for ultimate performance the V8 RS5 can do the benchmark 0-62mph run in just 4.5 seconds.
Speed isn't a problem for the Audi A5, but it's not as much fun to drive as the BMW 4 Series. Having said that, the A5 is still an extremely competent performer, so much so that we have to ask whether it's worthwhile going for the four-wheel-drive Quattro models.
Interior & comfort
The A5 doesn't achieve perfect balance between handling and comfort
A quiet interior and suspension that doesn't create much lean in the corners means the A5 is a comfortable car to travel quickly in – sometimes too comfortable and it is easy to lose track of your speed.
It is something we say about Audis a lot, but if you want a more comfortable ride it is better to spec the car with the SE's suspension, which is a free option on S Line and Sport specification cars. You can also choose adjustable suspension, but it's an expensive option, and we would also advise against big wheels. They look great, but come at the expense of ride comfort.
Slip behind the wheel and getting comfortable should be easy as all models get a wide range of adjustment for the steering wheel and driver's seat. One you're behind the wheel you also get to enjoy the Audi's beautifully-built dashboard that's both nice to look at and simple to use. The new car also gets a revised infotainment system, which can be combined with luxuries such as a premium Bang & Olufsen stereo.
Practicality & boot space
Boot space is excellent, but the rear seats are cramped
With a pretty sloping roofline, the Audi A5 was never going to have the most spacious back seats and there's also a little less headroom than you would get in a BMW 4 Series. If you're not too tall, though, you'll find the seats themselves are very comfortable. There are no such issues in the front seats and it should be easy to get comfortable.
Audi has also kitted the A5 out with a generous number of cubbyholes including storage areas and cupholders between the front seats, a large glovebox, and door bins that brush off the Carbuyer big bottle test with ease.
Big coupes need to have a big boot and the A5 supplies in this regard, with a 455-litre loadbay that can gobble up two sets of golf clubs. It matches the boot of the BMW 4 Series and is slightly bigger than the Mercedes C-Class Coupe's. The seats split 60:40 and when folded down storage space maxes out at 829 litres. Many owners choose to keep the back seats up and use them as an extra storage space.
Reliability & safety
Build quality is excellent and safety should be first rate
You would expect decent reliability from a premium coupe such as the Audi A5, but sadly it doesn't deliver on this according to our 2014 Driver Power survey. It finished 71st out of 150 cars, but more worryingly scored poorly to come 114th for reliability. Unsurprisingly, given how nicely the Audi is put together, it came 19th for build quality so you shouldn't have to suffer any squeaks or rattles.
Safety shouldn't be a worry, even though the A5 has never been crash tested by Euro NCAP. Underneath the stylish looks, it is based on the Audi A4, which scored a maximum five stars for safety when it was evaluated by Euro NCAP. The A5 comes complete with six airbags, a seatbelt reminder buzzer for the front seats, and stability control.
Price, value for money & options
Used values are excellent and equipment levels are generous
Audis generally hold onto their value better than cars from Mercedes and BMW and the A5's priced competitively to match models from both those manufacturers.
You get a choice of four trim levels with the A5 – Ultra, SE, S line and the Black Edition.
If it wasn't for a small 'Ultra' badge under the TDI lettering on the boot lid, you wouldn't be able to tell it is the most economical model in the A5 range. It's only available in SE spec with 17-inch wheels though, as bigger wheels change the car's gearing and harm fuel economy.
SE models get stop-start technology, 17-inch alloy wheels, Bluetooth, DAB radio, an MP3-compatible CD player, split-folding rear seats, leather upholstery, three-zone climate control and cruise control. S line models gets a subtle body kit and stiffer suspension (although you can go for the softer setup at no extra cost) and larger wheels. Black Edition models get even larger 19-inch alloy wheels, and black detailing on the outside, and the Bang & Olufsen premium stereo fitted as standard.

Chihuly. Michael De Marsche, president of the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center, has orchestrated the extravaganza Chihuly, a sprawling survey of the career of glass master Dale Chihuly. Working near Seattle, Chihuly is among the best-known glass artists of all time, right up there with Louis Comfort Tiffany and Paolo Venini. De Marsche, following the formula he has established in other exhibits over the past couple of years, set Chihuly within the context of the CSFAC's spectacular Southwestern and American Indian collections. And then there's the incomparable setting of the iconic John Gaw Meem-designed building itself. Chihuly's illustrious career is surveyed beginning with the oldest pieces, from his very first generation of vases done in the 1970s to some brand-new, hot-from-the-furnaces chandeliers and towers. During those thirty years, his work became increasingly expressionistic, a product of his awareness of the Venetian aesthetic. The show is installed throughout the center, and there are even examples displayed outdoors in the courtyard. Through August 14 at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center, 30 West Dale Street, Colorado Springs, 1-719-634-5581.
Dialog. Studio Aiello co-directors Tyler and Monica Aiello have assembled a group show on the theme of contemporary abstraction -- or, as they call it, "non-representational." The exhibit includes the work of emerging sculptor Morgan Barnes and four Colorado painters: Mark Brasuell, Craig Marshall Smith, Haze Diedrich and Kimberly MacArthur Graham. Each of the painters takes a different page from the book of classic abstract expressionism, causing their styles to be interrelated but distinct. Abstract expressionism is particularly important to Brasuell and Smith, whose large compositions are downright retro, but it's also there in the paintings by Diedrich and Graham, where it's a lot subtler. The Barnes sculptures are something else. The artist uses simple forms such as spikes and planks and incorporates kinetic features that activate sound elements. The kinetics and the sound are low-tech and only work when a viewer pushes against the moveable part of a piece. Also interesting is the array of decorative finishes Barnes produces using only rust and grinders. Through May 27 at Studio Aiello, 3563 Walnut Street, 303-297-8166. Reviewed May 12.
The Last Picture Show. Show titles often have a poetic quality and are meant to be metaphorical, but not in the case of The Last Picture Show. This is the last show the Emil Nelson Gallery will present in its current location. Emil Nelson is a cozy little old-fashioned place in a Victorian townhouse just west of the Denver Art Museum. Surprisingly, the tiny gallery has actually done some big-time shows over the past couple of years. Owner Hugo Anderson is relocating the business to a studio space at 1280 Sherman Street that will be open only on First Fridays and by appointment. For the finale at the Bannock Street location, Anderson is featuring a group show that includes his own work as well as that of his friends Teresa Haberkorn, Katherine Hopkins, Julie Keith, Beatrice Pestana, Geoff Ridge, Steven Simon, Morgan Smith, Sarah Vaeth and Babara Wade. In addition, there are a number of historic pieces by Herbert Bayer, Federico Castellon and Werner Drewes, from their respective estates. Through May 31 at Emil Nelson Gallery, 1307 Bannock Street, 303-534-0996.
Luminosity. The Museum of Outdoor Arts, ensconced in the newish Englewood CityCentre, is best known for the sculpture displays it has scattered around the metro area, including the main cache in front of Englewood's municipal building. But there's also an indoor space where MOA mounts art shows, and it's currently outfitted with a multimedia show on the topic of "the quality of radiant light." Regionally famous artist Daniel Sprick is the only painter in the show, with everyone else doing photography or photo-based techniques. In the photography category are David Sharpe's shots of Robert Smithson's "Spiral Jetty," a pioneering earthworks piece that had been flooded by the Great Salt Lake but has recently re-emerged as the water receded. Another photographer, Anne Arden McDonald, specializes in figure studies set in abandoned buildings. The two artists doing photo-based pieces are Randy Brown, who does hybrids of painting and photography, and Jason Musgrave, who created an impressive large-scale installation made of various materials, including glass, chrome and photography. Through September 1 at the Museum of Outdoor Arts, 1000 Englewood Parkway, #2-230, 303-806-0440.
Siqueiros. The exhibition Siqueiros: Spirit of a Revolutionary at the Museo de las Américas is evidence that the beleaguered institution -- which all but collapsed last year -- is still alive and kicking. The gorgeous exhibit, put together by Alfonso Miranda Marquez of the Museo Soumaya in Mexico City, includes more than a score of works by one of the greatest Mexican artists of all time: David Alfaro Siqueiros. Using paintings, drawings and watercolors, Marquez economically surveys the artist's career from the 1910s to the 1970s. Siqueiros was one of "Los Tres Grandes" of the Mexican mural movement, and like the other two -- Diego Rivera and Jose Clemente Orozco -- he created work with one eye on vanguard styles developing in Europe, and the other on left-wing political action at home in Mexico. An interesting aspect of Siqueiros's style is that it had an influence on artists in the United States, and not just the social realists, but the abstract expressionists, as well. Extended through May 28 at the Museo de las Américas, 861 Santa Fe Drive, 303-571-4401. Reviewed March 10.

Andrew, Ending up randomly sitting next to you @ the 11pm showing of the new James Bond movie. You were waiting for a friend and the movie theatre was packed. I was with my two friends, one whom you had actually met before. You told me that you were thinking about going to Whistler the next day and how you used to be a Bio Chemist? I was nervous at the end of the movie so I ran away. Im curious to see if this actually works. I enjoyed our convo and hopefully we cross paths again. Maybe via the Georgia Straight or possibly the yoga stuido. Fingers Crossed!

LEXINGTON, Ky. - Preakness winner Shackleford will be retired at the end of the year and stand at stud at Darby Dan Farm in Lexington.
The farm said Thursday the 4-year-old is in training for the Carter Handicap at Aqueduct on April 7, with trainer Dale Romans hoping for a final race in the Breeders' Cup in the fall.
Shackleford was the leading 3-year-old money earner. In addition to beating Kentucky Derby winner Animal Kingdom in the Preakness last year, Shackleford finished second in the Florida Derby, Haskell Invitational and Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile. He has three wins in 13 career starts and earnings of $1,985,803 for owners/breeders Mike Lauffer and Bill Cubbedge.

Denis Irwin thinks Manchester United's defence will be the key to victory in the derby against Manchester City at Old Trafford.
The former Reds full-back appreciates the threat the visitors will pose, as they continue their title bid, but believes it is imperative that David Moyes' men keep it tight at the back throughout what promises to be a tense 90 minutes.
"I've got a lot of great memories playing against Manchester City," he told ManUtd.com. "It's a big, big game against them.
"They are a very good side with a very good squad and are obviously in with a chance of winning the league. City had a great result on Saturday. Even though you'd expect them to beat Fulham, scoring five goals gives them a bit of confidence going into this game.
"They have got some difficult games away from home, starting with this one, but they score plenty of goals and are really good going forward. As they are such a huge threat, we will have to defend very well in order for us to win.
"There is no doubt we can score goals, even though Robin van Persie will be a miss for us, but we can score so the main thing, for me, is to defend really well, keep it tight and try to keep a clean sheet."

Glomerulonephritis is a type of kidney disease that involves the glomeruli. The glomeruli are very small, important structures in the kidneys that supply blood flow to the small units in the kidneys that filter urine called the nephrons. During glomerulonephritis, the glomeruli become inflamed and impair the kidney's ability to filter urine.
Glomerulonephritis is caused by several different disease states, including the following:
Systemic immune disease, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE or lupus)
Other systemic diseases may include:
Polyarteritis nodosa group. An inflammatory disease of the arteries.
Wegener vasculitis. A progressive disease that leads to widespread inflammation of all of the organs in the body.
Henoch-Schönlein purpura. A disease usually seen in children that is associated with purpura (small or large purple lesions on the skin and internally on the organs) and involves multiple organ systems.
A form of inherited glomerulonephritis called Alport syndrome, which affects both men and women; men are more likely to have kidney problems. Treatment focuses on preventing and treating high blood pressure and preventing kidney damage.
In children, a common cause of glomerulonephritis is from a streptococcal infection, such as strep throat or upper respiratory infection. Glomerulonephritis usually occurs more than one week after an infection. This is often referred to as acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis or APSGN.
The following are the most common symptoms of glomerulonephritis. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Dark brown-colored urine (from blood and protein)
Sore throat
Diminished urine output
Increased breathing effort
High blood pressure
Seizures (may occur as a result of high blood pressure)
Rash, especially over the buttocks and legs
Weight loss
Joint pain
Pale skin color
Fluid accumulation in the tissues (edema)
The symptoms of glomerulonephritis may resemble other conditions and medical problems. Always consult your child's doctor for a diagnosis.
In addition to a thorough physical examination and complete medical history, your child's doctor may recommend the following diagnostic tests:
Throat culture
Urine tests
Blood tests
Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG). A test that records the electrical activity of the heart, shows abnormal rhythms (arrhythmias or dysrhythmias), and detects heart muscle damage.
Renal ultrasound (also called sonography). A noninvasive test in which a transducer is passed over the kidney producing sound waves which bounce off of the kidney, transmitting a picture of the organ on a video screen. The test is used to determine the size and shape of the kidney and to detect a mass, kidney stone, cyst, or other obstruction or abnormalities.
Chest X-ray. A diagnostic test that uses invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs onto film.
Renal biopsy. A procedure during which a small sample of tissue is taken from the kidney through a needle. The tissue is sent for special testing to determine the specific disease.
Specific treatment for glomerulonephritis will be determined by your child's doctor based on:
Your child's age, overall health, and medical history
The extent of the disease
Your child's tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
Expectations for the course of the disease
Your opinion or preference
If glomerulonephritis is caused by a streptococcal infection, then treatment will be focused on curing the infection and treating the symptoms associated with the infection. Treatment will depend on the underlying cause. Therefore, treatments focus on slowing the progression of the disease preventing complications.
Treatment for glomerulonephritis may include:
Fluid restriction
Decreased protein diet
Decreased salt and potassium diet
Medication, such as:
Blood pressure medications
Phosphate binders. Medications to decrease the amount of the mineral phosphorus in the blood.
Immunosuppressive agents
Dialysis. A medical treatment to remove wastes and additional fluid from the blood after the kidneys have stopped functioning. Dialysis may be required for short-term or long-term therapy.
If glomerulonephritis does not resolve, long-term kidney failure may need to be addressed.

2010 Chevrolet HHR LS 4dr Wagon (2.2L 4cyl 5M)
We bought this car for my wife in 2010 (new). The only problem we've had is with the ignition switch, which got stuck in the ON position & the car would not shut off. This happened on a Sunday afternoon & onstar was spectacularly unhelpful. The operator told us to find a shop that was open & go there, then sent us to Honda dealer which was closing by the time we got there (5pm). We finally had the running car disabled & towed to Bachman Chevrolet, per Onstar's instructions. (something to do with warranty regulations blah,blah,blah). Bachman Chevrolet had the car up & running free of charge by 3PM Monday, so pretty good service on their part.

500+miles on the road on a tank of gas $17,000.00 out the door with Power Windows, locks, remote start, navigation system, am, FM, XM, cd, and onstar. Drives nice and a lot of car for the price I have a 2008 max pick up that refuse to pass a gas station. For the price and the cost to operate this the the best that it have been for me.

Folks told me she was so little she wouldn't be good in snow. I drove her up a mountain over a mile high on mud and ice with no fish tailing or sliding, the traction was wonderful and now can hardly wait to try her in the Maine winter here, although I worry about the road salt. I put the seats down and can do what I always did with my bigger vans. Dodge and Plymouth. Needless to say she preforms well. My biggest complaint was location for my coffee cup, it is very hard to reach and drive. She handles well on turnpike driving and in cities like Boston she is a breeze. Thanks Chevy for a Nice little car. I tell my children if I had money, I'd have one in all the colors for each day of the week.

I had a rental HHR LS for one month. It had 600 miles on it with a 26.3 mpg. I turned it in with 1650 miles with a 27.7 mpg. It was peppy,fun and easy to drive. I was never fond of small vehicles but the HHR changed my views. I had plenty of leg room, seats were comfortable. My wife loved driving it.Perfect for groceries, parking at the mall. I plan on buying one next year.

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2015
I'm fairly certain that here in the Seattle area, many people will actually take a sick day to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale in 2015! I'm already marking my calendar!
When is the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2015?
A: THE NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE 2014 HAS NOW ENDED! The Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale ran from July 18- August 4, 2014 last year. Pre-sale shopping was available for Nordstrom Cardholders from July 10-17, 2014. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2015 will be held in July. Mark your calendars and start saving up now! Last year, I stocked up on beauty exclusives, and treated myself to a pair of AGL Ballet Flats for 30% off! What a wonderful pre-fall treat!
When is the Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale 2014?
A: Nordstrom Half-yearly sales are held in Spring 2014 (May) and Fall 2014 (November). The next one for 2014 will be just in time for the holiday shopping season! The half-yearly sales are a great time to stock up on necessities, and even holiday gifts! I'm also a big fan of the Nordstrom Designer Sale that runs twice a year, for savings on those big-ticket items.
How do I get to preview 2015 sale items?
A: Before the Nordstrom 2015 Anniversary Sale, devoted customers will receive a "pre-sale" link, so they can get first dibs on the goodies. Nordstrom now offers this special treatment only to cardholders. If you don't want to miss out, it might be time to get a Nordstrom branded credit card, and start using it!

Webasto Product North America and ESW Group announced the integration between their two technologies that will give fleets and municipalities the opportunity to obtain DERA (Diesel Emission Reduction Act) funding for emission control and idle reduction equipment.
Webasto is a leading manufacturer of fuel operated heaters that eliminate the need to idle for engine pre-heat and interior cab comfort. These high efficiency heaters provide many benefits to fleets and owner operators including fuel savings, reduced engine wear, driver comfort and safety in addition to helping them comply with anti-idling regulations.
ESW Group is committed to delivering high quality diesel emission reduction technologies and services that surpass industry and regulatory standards. Their DPF (diesel particulate filter) system removes diesel particulate matter or soot from the exhaust gas of diesel engines. They have superior filtration efficiency of particulate matter, compact design and a wide range of applications.
The EPA awards funding for diesel emission reduction projects through competitive grants that are reviewed by the National Clean Diesel Funding Assistance Program. The grants fund projects that reduce emissions from existing diesel engines through various strategies including emission control and idle reduction technologies.
Webasto's engine-off heaters and ESW's diesel particulate filters are a perfect fit for these grants.

About Jacqui warnock
Hi we are the Warnock family and We purchased this property in 2004 and have had wonderful holidays with our children and families. Our children were just 4 and 8 when we got it and so we went to the villa every Christmas until last year and it was so magical for them. We always went to magic kingdom on Christmas Eve and it will be memories that my children and us will have for the rest of our lives. I manage all the bookings myself and we have a management company which we have been with for 5 years and are excellent and are on call 24/7.
Jacqui warnock purchased this villa in 2004
Why Jacqui warnock chose Westbury
We chose this property because we wanted a villa close to theme parks and shopping etc but we also wanted somewhere quiet and home from home to relax in as well, so this villa and area covered all our needs
What makes this villa unique
When we first came to look at this development there was only one show house which we looked around and fell in love with. We then picked our plot and the work started within a few months. We were sent pictures of each stage of the building work and we came out to see the villa when it was mid construction. We add items to the villa each time we come out and are very proud of it
Guestbook comments from the manager
What a beautiful home so close to Orlando attractions, but a nice quiet place to come back to in the evenings.my four year old daughter really LOVED the swimming pool and everyone loved the games room. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Response from Bruce Dezube, M.D.

Proposed Project: Commissioned recordings – Summer & Fall 2012
37 brand new recordings by 37 artists commissioned by VVN. The collection will be made available for free download on VVN.
LTS – Independent Online Ticketing
Our web-based solution for independent online ticketing was developed by members of the Montreal music community & created in partnership with Suoni Per Il Popolo (experimental music festival) & the venues La Sala Rossa and Casa Del Popolo and HelloEveryone.Org, in Montreal.
We built LTS to meet the growing need within the independent music & arts community for a tailored online ticket sales + management system. In the face of larger ticketing companies with corporate-style service, exclusivity contracts, inflated overhead, and high transaction fees… we'd been looking for a truly independent, flexible & cost-effective solution to selling tickets to shows online. We got working on our own solution & once we had something that really worked, we wanted to share it.
We've designed our system to be flexible, reliable, easy to use, and free. LTS is not only free – venues, festivals, & promoters actually generate income… while not frustrating, insulting, or gouging the people that support them.
The look, feel, and functionality of your online copy of LTS is highly customizable & works how you need it to. We're convinced that technology need not be expensive, slow or complicate your workflow.
We're artists, musicians, promoters, venue owners, designers, & developers. We're interested in helping organizations work efficiently while upholding the ethical, economic, and cultural ideals that lead them to work in the arts everyday.
VVN Download Records
Villa Villa Nola Download Records opened at villavillanola.com in 2008 to sell recordings online, avoiding manufacturing & distribution costs. As of February 2012, 11,261 digital records have through the site. We'll continue the virtual distribution project but have expanded our store to allow for the sale and shipment of physical products.
Catalogue Raisonné – Paul-Émile Borduas
The catalogue raisonné, in hard copy edition, contains several major flaws that make the context of its publication quite problematic. Firstly, these types of books are, for the most part, very expensive and thus their publication becomes prohibitive. Secondly, because of the enormous amount of work and time involved, any such catalogue encounters, upon its publication, a major obstacle – even more so if it's about a living or recently deceased contemporary artist: due to the art work changing hands (i.e. at auctions), the data becomes rapidly incorrect and the catalogue soon is obsolete. Finally another complaint often formulated against these publications is the presence, at each entry, of multiple cross-references. These can certainly be understood in regard to the space granted by the editor for the inscription of each notice. Nonetheless these abbreviations and codified signs impose on the reader to constantly refer to indexes or lists. Continually hampered by these cross-references, the consultation of this type of book becomes even more cumbersome. In collaboration with of the The Centre for Canadian Art in Montreal, Villa Villa Nola and HelloEveryone.org developed a web accessible catalogue raisonné for Paul-Émile Borduas in 2011.
Black Light Times
"Black Light Times is a website with a real simple purpose: film interviews with bands and other artists under black light with effects on the microphone. They invite the public at large to send videos in and we will put them on here. There will be millions of videos shot under black light with effects on the microphone. That's what makes BLT special."
VVN started "HelloEveryone.org" in 2010. The project has been developed as "a tailored set of open-source technologies and structured design schemes, utilizing S.E.A. business compliant models. Planning, design, creation of materials, and basic operation is derived from the principles of permaculture and Ikebana forms."

Icona Pop move from MTV to Stage 48
As reality television slowly drags itself into the oblivion, it is safe to say that we, as a country, are pretty much done with MTV's 'Jersey Shore.' The greased-up guido and obnoxious fist-pumping fad came and went but, nonetheless, it did happen: at one point, the show was the highest rated show e ... More >>

Much to your dismay, we're sure, nude photos of Jersey Shore star "Snooki" have surfaced and currently are making the rounds on the Internet. Snooki, as you know, is more of a punchline than an actual person -- often ridiculed for her "meatball"-esque appearance and Jersey-like demeanor. That said, ... More >>
Is Snooki the Bret Easton Ellis of guidos? Her novel Gorilla Beach -- a Jersey Shore roman a clef, if you will -- will hit bookstore shelves May 15. Hollywoodlife.com claimed this afternoon to have gotten an exclusive copy of the first chapter, "Like a Slutty Virgin." Of course, we had guessed t ... More >>
No, not Snooki. Paul Iacono was the young star of MTV's The Hard Times of RJ Berger, in which he was a sophomore with a large penis. He played young Patrick opposite Christine Ebersole in Mame and was in a version of Sail Away starring Elaine Stritch.
The week brought us Jon Brion and Shellac and Sam Sparro (not to mention a handful of surprise Occupy Wall Street pop-ins), and that wide spectrum of genres is also represented in this weekend's concert listings.

The raucously low-class reality show Jersey Shore tends to spoof itself, so a musical mockery of it seemed to me like a bad idea.

Brianna and Gabriella almost escaped from Staten Island. But MTV pulled the plug on the original Jersey Shore
A new poll has found that people either don't really care about the negative aspects of the Jersey Shore when evaluating the Garden State.

Okay, we're going to present a couple facts that will probably anger you, but they need to be introduced in order to report this story. 1) Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi was asked to speak at Rutgers University. 2) Over 2,000 students attended the lecture. 3) She was paid $32,000 by the state-funded ... More >>
Not a joke: New York Times best-selling author Snooki will be paid $32,000 by the Rutgers University Programming Association for appearing at two "student-produced comedy Q&A sessions" yesterday. This has generated great controversy, as that's $2,000 more than the amount Toni Morrison, who, y ... More >>
Our tiny, tanned authoress really can do anything she sets her mind to, can't she? Here, Snooki has her own horribly overacted WWE moment, which, now that we think about it, is probably not all that different from being on the Jersey Shore. Snooki will wrestle Vickie Guerrero live at the Georgia Dom ... More >>
Playgirl Snooki's ex boyfriend, Jeff Miranda, is always semi-nude anyway as he prances down the boardwalk reeking of eau de Guido. But now he's more semi-nude. Jeff just submitted a shower photo to Playgirl--yes, them again--showing what he's sort of almost made of, and I guess it's his Mi ... More >>
This isn't aimed at you folks, mind you. Just at people on other blogs who weigh in with unbearably cliched comments safe from the anonymity of their armchair.
Jersey Shore star Snooki has been voted by Yahoo users as the worst Valentine's date. The New York Daily News News reports that she "got 41 percent of votes in a poll of omg! Yahoo readers on the woman with whom they would least like to spend Valentine's Day." This is so wrong: Snooki would b ... More >>
This one will really make you spit out your gum. Since Snooki's real name is Nicole Polizzi, her amazing new novel A Shore Thing has been turning up on chain store bookshelves right next to the work of the alphabetically close Edgar Allen Poe!
In this video, which exists for the ostensible purpose of promoting Snooki's magical new love pendant, our tanned quintuple-plus threat and brand empress visits a psychiatrist, is hypnotized into love, and shares a pickle with a geek (played by Andy Milonakis). All this can be yours for $19, shippin ... More >>

We're exporting our greatest national treasure to a country filled with a much more sex-fueled and corrupt government? This is a huge mistake. Here are five countries better suited for ... More >>
Yesterday she tweeted it. But when we didn't see Snooki's fiction debut A Shore Thing on the New York Times Best-Sellers list, (and when we heard, in fact, that sales of the book hadn't even been that great), we wondered...could our favorite teensy, tan empress of the beaches be confused? Cou ... More >>
Following in the plush footsteps of any double/triple/six-packed threat (what's with the Situation these days, anyway?), Snooki, who already, obviously, has a book out, not to mention her special limited edition New Year's Eve pendant, is set to unroll an unprecedented array of new "Snooki-br ...

During last week's blizzard, I was kooky-crazy enough to take my life in my hands and ride my freakin' bike!

Rest easy, friends, because our dear, displaced Snooki has found a home for New Years Eve! After being ousted from the Times Square ceremony in which she'd been "supposed to" drop in the ball "like a friggin' hampster," her homeland has taken her in again. Via the New York Times Arts Beat, sh ... More >>
via MTVSad (or happy?) news...well, let's just say it's conflicting: Apparently, that whole putting Snooki in a ball just like a little hampster and then dropping her into Times Square for the big midnight hurrah on New Year's Eve is not going to happen after all. Because it would be...crazy? ... More >>
See how they did that?New Year's Eve 2011 in Times Square will be more than just Snooki-in-a-ball (Snooki actually in the ball, an image that has captivated us for longer than we'd like to admit, though in fairness, she herself has said she's going to be like "a freakin' hampster"). For all t ... More >>

It is no longer hailing, but it's supposed to be freezing outside. Inside, I have a fan blowing on my face. It's Tuesday. Press Clips, Day 12, Late Edition, right here:

Sometimes the headlines just write themselves. Spoiler: The Jersey Shore's embattled Snooki was found guilty of "annoying others on the beach with her antics," which included, apparently, using a beer bong, falling off a bike, and being entirely too tan (that's just our opinion).
Everyone knows Jersey Shore is trashy, but is that trashiness quantifiable in any realistic way? Apparently so, as the guidos of Jersey Shore are being used -- in such an explicit dirty manner -- as pawns in luxury goods consumerism warfare. How?
Every post-modern girl of a certain age dreams of being proposed to on the cover of a high-class glossy magazine. And yet, only a few of us ever actually get to see that fantasy come true.

On Sunday, the cover was unfortunately occupied by huge news, leaving Jersey Shore only ... More >>
Yesterday, upon the arrest of Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, we got a lesson on Twitter reporting, as TMZ scoured feeds for beachfront witnesses of "America's beloved pint-sized troublemaker."

We were getting nervous for a minute there. The cast of the Jersey Shore was, up till today, on strike (everyone except Snooki and The Situation, that is). The status of Season 3 was unclear.

Okay, so this reality television personage known as "Snooki" (a/k/a Nicole Polizzi, you probably know her as "the girl who got punched in the face on the Jersey Shore") said some things about President Obama's proposed, totally bogus tanning tax during the second season's first episode.

Conservative management, immunosuppressive treatment or both for patients with primary immunoglobulin A nephropathy?
Authors information
- Dimitrios S. Goumenos
Department of Nephrology - University Hospital of Patras, . email@example.com
Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is the most commonly encountered primary glomerulonephritis and it usually follows an indolent clinical course. However, hypertensive patients with proteinuria and renal insufficiency at presentation and patients with severe histological involvement are at high risk to develop end-stage renal failure. Patients with normal renal function, mild proteinuria (<1 g/24h) and mild histopathological involvement need only observation, whereas patients with heavy proteinuria, impaired renal function and moderate to severe histopathological involvement are usually treated with immunosuppressive drugs. Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are used in patients with arterial hypertension and/or proteinuria 1-2 g/24h. Corticosteroids are indicated in patients with heavy proteinuria (>3 g/24h) and in progressive disease despite treatment with ACE inhibitors. Combinations of corticosteroids and cytotoxic drugs are saved for patients with IgA nephropathy and a rapidly progressive course. Fish oil might be an alternative to corticosteroids in cases with renal insufficiency and chronic histological lesions.

Minneapolis Police Chief Bob Olson came to town with a reputation for pleasing pols and infuriating cops. And he's surpassed himself on both counts.

Every point counts! Even one is fine!
A Poet's Pride"I, alone, know poetry."A Poet's Pride by scriptureofthescribe
What a foolish phrase.
For poetry is not about what you know.
It's about what you think,
What you feel,
What you are.
But it should never be use as a higher ground.
So even if someone criticizes your best poem,
Do not ever say that they "just don't understand it."
Try to understand them and maybe, if you can,
Ask to help them write a poem so they can think,
And can feel,
And can be.
Another dayAnother day goes by with no accomplishments.Another day by scriptureofthescribe
Another night when you cry yourself to sleep.
Another week lacking love and compassion,
Another month where there's nothing to keep.
Another season passes without a huge deal.
Another year, you decide not to fake it.
Another decade, and you don't give a crap.
Another moment, but you're not here to take it.
The EnemyI thought myself a hero.The Enemy by scriptureofthescribe
I hoped to save the world.
But in the end, I'll still descend
Because I was so mad.
I only wanted justice.
I tried to bring out peace.
But never mind, I was so blind
To all the friends I had.
I couldn't stop my anger
From overtaking me.
But anyway, I have to say
Straitjackets aren't so bad.
Lucid LullabyShut the drapes of your mind.Lucid Lullaby by scriptureofthescribe
Begin to explore the world of your head.
Let your thoughts unwind
As you lie in your bed.
Close the door of your day
To unlock the night.
Let your troubles go away
As your dreams take flight.
When you start counting sheep,
And your sleep-self becomes awake,
Let your mind take a leap
Into a world that you can make.

Latest generation object inspectors from NSI
North Star Imaging has announced a dedicated small-to-medium sized object inspector. The X25 is a compact digital x-ray and computed tomography (CT) system for use in electronics, medical scenarios and other industries.
The five-axis manipulator and vibration isolation system allows a scanning envelope of 228mm by 228mm. NSI states that these attributes make it an ideal choice for both x-ray and CT applications looking at 3D metrology and failure analysis.
The unit's compact dimensions, of just 185.4x96.5x180.3cms allow it to fit through a standard interior door. The X25 also boasts an x-ray voltage range of 10kV to 160kV, with a system resolution of <0.5 μm and a geometric magnification of up to 4000x.
Combined with a scan travel of 228mm vertical, and 152mm horizontal, as well as z-axis source-to-detector movement of 1003mm, NSI claims that the unit is capable of submicron resolution imaging and ultra-high accuracy scanning.
The unit comes complete with NSI's efX-DR and efX-CT software, featuring comprehensive data acquisition as well as processing and archival routine functions.
The X25 rounds out the X-View Computed Tomography systems range. This latest, smallest, unit joins other models such as the X50, X5000 and X8000 series scanners, all built to cater with larger objects.
