New York February 18This year's GALA ITALIA was an even bigger success than anticipated. This 26th edition of the event took place on February 10th at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in Manhattan under the high patronage of the Italian Ambassador to Washington, Giulio Terzi di Sant'Agata, Producers, importers, and journalists from up and down the Atlantic Coast of the United States crowded into the Grand Ballroom of the Marriott Marquis in record numbers to participate in this most prestigious celebration of "Made in Italy" which brings together the very finest in Italian fashion, wine, gastronomy, music, art, and design.
The host of honor of the GALA ITALIA was the noted television personality, Jo Squillo who was flown to New York by Alitalia for the express purpose of presenting the GALA ITALIA.
She entertained the audience with song and dance before introducing Christina Fontanelli, who has sung at the White House for the President. Ms. Fontanelli performed "Libian, Libiam nei Lieti Calici" from Verdi's La Traviata, "Con Te Partirò" the famous song by Andrea Boccelli, and finished with her rendition of "New York, New York" by the great Frank Sinatra in honor of the event.
Jo Squillo then introduced the spring-summer collection of the house of high fashion, Eredi Pisanò of Rome. Twelve models gathered at the center of the ballroom in order to display an exquisite collection that evoked much admiration. The musicians of the CJM trio of Luca Garacci accompanied them.
The spectacular part of the GALA ITALIA concluded with the opening of the great stage where 16 restaurants presented their culinary specialties to the very appreciative guests.
The GALA ITALIA opened with the Great Wine & Food Tasting that included some of the best Italian wines, including: Antinori, Astoria, Biondi Santi/Castello di Montepò, Biondi Santi/Il Greppo, Bellenda, Bellussi, Bertani, Bottega Vinaia, Cantina del Vermentino, Cantina S. Osvaldo, Cantina Valpolicella Casale Falchini, Castello di Albola, Castello di Fonterutoli, Castello di Querceto, Cavit, Citra, Col di Luna, Danae, Domodimonti, Duca di Salaparuta, Due Palme, Fabiano, Fattoria di Montecchio, Feudi Arancio, Feudi di San Gregorio, Feudi Principi di Butera, Furlan, Garlider, Gulfi, Lunetta, Livia Fontana, Marco Maci, Mandra Rossa, Piera Martellozzo, Pasqua, Planeta, Poliziano, Rocca delle Macie, Rocca dei Sanniti, Ruffino, Sella & Mosca, Tenute Sella, Scrimaglio, Toso-Tufidi, Vini Biondi and Zonin. Alitalia also introduced the wines that they serve in their first class airline, which incited much interest.
In the course of the five hours of the Wine Tasting, those present tasted more than 200 wines of 50 wine producers hailing from Italy's most distinguished wine-producing regions. More than 1,500 bottles were opened for more than 2,000 journalists and VIPs (in excess of 1,100 importers, wholesalers, and retailers from the U.S, along with 480 restaurateurs and 420 journalists and TV. representatives).
During the Wine & Food Tasting the wine producers received special certificates that identified their best wine selected by an American jury of experts.
The prestigious Italian restaurants who participated included: Barbetta, Barolo, Da Silvano, Epoca, Giano, Gusto Ristorante/Bar Americano, Il Riccio, I Tre Merli, La Masseria, Macelleria, Osteria del Circo, Perbacco, Quattro Gastronomia Italiana, Salumeria Rosi, Serafina and SD26.

The four Vespa models presented by Piaggio in various colors and styles represent the great success of Italian design in America. Also, two beautiful Montante bicycles and a model of the AW 139 helicopter of Agusta Westland further completed the showcase of Italian design and technology in the Inted States.
An art exhibit titled called "Dynamic Cities", featured a series of innovative works by the artists Lisa Borgiani and Massimo Nidini, which arrived in New York, with the patronage of the Italian Institute of Culture, after a tour of successful exhibitions all over the world. The presentation of Italian art was completed with a second exhibition, "Dancing Angels" by the artist Francesco Padovani, who came to New York from Switzerland for the GALA ITALIA.
Of course, the GALA ITALIA continued the tradition and raffled off great prizes like the Vespa S 50 4V, by Piaggio, and a stay in Italy provided by the ENIT office of New York. The lucky winner of the Vespa was Mr. Ceferino Obecemea of Aquino Italian Wine Imports.
The GALA ITALIA distributed more than 4,000 copies of the color catalogue to guests, participants and representatives.
Shortly after the conclusion of the New York event, the Los Angeles Wine Gala, on February 15th, will extend this promotion of "Made in Italy" to the markets of California and the West Coast. The Los Angeles Wine Gala will be held at the famous restaurant of Piero Selvaggio, Valentino, and will be preceded by an exclusive luncheon for the exhibitors and the local wine press to introduce the distinguished wines.
"The 26th edition of the GALA ITALIA has succeeded as an event of great importance at the highest level," emphasized Lucio Caputo, president of the Italian Wine & Food Institute.
"The GALA ITALIA, which landed close to VINO 2011 completes the action in favor of Italian Wines," added the Italian Trade Commissioner, Aniello Musella, "strengthening the presence of Italy in all of the American markets." These initiatives, supported by the Ministry for Economic Development serve to increase Italian wine awareness in the great American market.

The GALA ITALIA will be jointly organized by the Italian Wine & Food Institute and the Italian Trade Commission under the high patronage of the Italian Ambassador to Washington with the sponsorship of the Ministry of Economic Development.

Jo Squillo, the Italian television personality and fashion journalist, will present the Gala Italia and will entertain the guests with a musical performance.
Eredi Pisano' started its journey almost forty years ago with the opening of its first single labeled store in the historical center of Rome. The approach to the classical tailored athletic fit was met with success, and soon this pattern of distinction was recognized in their line. Today a successful fashion label with several stores in the city of Rome, Eredi Pisano' continues the expansion of its line with the care, dedication, and detail. Designing, fabric texture, and styling are closely controlled by the owners and made locally in Rome. In 2001, Eredi Pisano' launched its label in the American market with a store on the exclusive Madison Avenue. The design, craftsmanship and price automatically drew customers with an appreciation for modern cuts, and athletic fits. Eredi Pisano' started the trend toward vibrant colors and textures in corporate attire long before others caught on. Eredi Pisano' has been well-received and successful on Madison Avenue since its American debut nearly ten years ago.
Admire an icon of Italian design, Piaggio Vespa Scooters, one of the great successes in the United States.
The 2 AW 139 helicopter by AgustaWestland used by the Los Angeles Fire Department. A model of this helicopter will be on view at the Gala Italia.
View "Dynamic Cities", an exhibition of paintings by contemporary Italian artists Lisa Borgiani and Massimo Nidini, whose artwork has been exhibited in numerous international art fairs and galleries in New York, London, Singapore, Dubai, Vienna, and Bruxelles. The exhibition is organized under the patronage of the Italian Cultural Institute of New York.
Francesco Padovani, born in Naples in 1952, lives and works in Lugano Switzerland. He has always had a passion for photography, prisoner of the professional duties of an entrepreneur. Over the years he has developed very significant personal shooting techniques using almost sculpted elements to represent reality veiled by the symbolic expressiveness.

INTRO - Tuva Jansen got hooked on kitesurfing after working in a wake and skate shop in Oslo way back in 2001. For tricks and flat water Tuva loves to visit Coche in Venezuela. Tuva in sponsored by Takoon, Dakine and Oxbow and is currently enjoying travelling the world in search of that perfect kiting hot spot.
ONE - Boys. They're fun to hang out with. But girls are are the only ones that really understand the gospel of gossip.
TWO - It is OK to not like everyone. I can be sure that not everyone likes me.
THREE - There's a big difference between different people's definition of power tricks and wake tricks.
FOUR - My life as a kiteboarder would be much harder without a big French boyfriend called Bertrand to help me set up my board and bars. I'm just not made for that stuff. I say 'No!' to super feminism!
FIVE -I cannot live without waffles and pancakes with Nutella.
SIX - Pictures can lie, videos can't.
SEVEN - Learning French is much harder than I thought.
EIGHT - Not everything is possible, even if your Mum tells you it is.
NINE - As a kiteboarder learning to be patient will stop you going crazy.
TEN - Shopping will always make me happy.
ELEVEN - Melted cheese is so much better than normal cold cheese.
TWELVE - Playing poker sucks.
THIRTEEN - Money would make my life so much easier, perhaps not happier, but I'd have a lot less worries. Well, maybe just a little bit happier too...
OUTRO - 29 year-old Tuva Jansen has been pushing the envelope of women's kiteboarding over the last two years. She is currently at home in Norway after non-stop travelling to Cabo Verde, Antigua and Venezuela where her focus was on riding kickers and sliders. Tuva recently won the women's slider competition at PKRA Venezuela.

Seems Great and is Priced Right.

Can you globally change Sound Cue Attenuatino parameters?
Really hoping someone might be able to input into this small audio related roblem I am having....
Here is a summary of my problem:
I have many hundreds of SoundCues in a package.
Within all the sounds cues they all have the same nodes:
Attenuation / Modulator / Random / Sound Nodes....
I need to alter the parameters on the Attenuation node for all of these Sound Cues.
Can this be done in a Global way, or does it need to be done one Cue at a time?
At the moment I am more inclined to think there is no Global way of doing it, having read around and tried a few things in the UDK, so probably have a long few days ahead of me :0(
Below is the exact parameter changes I need to make for anyone who thinks they may have something to input on the issue:
The parameters I need to change are all within the "Attenuation" node within the Sound Cues, and are the follwing:
Distance Algorithm - ATTENUATION_Linear needs to become ATTENUATION_NaturalSound.
Radius Min/Max needs values changed (same for all cues).
Attenuate with LPF - is currently "Unchecked" and needs to become "Checked".
LPFRadius Min/Max needs values changed (same for all cues).
I am currently not convinced it is possible, but I need to change these parameters for many hundreds of SoundCues which will literally take days if it has to be done one by one.
Any input would be very welcome, even if it is confirmation that there is no way to do this globally for a selection of Cues. I will just get cracking on doing it the slow way.
many thanks

As impressed as I am with Benny's NYCC coverage earlier today, I have to give this guy respect for the best photo gallery around. It was his first Comic Con, and he made it a goal to take an awkward prom photo with as many other cosplayers as he could.
Mission status: Success.
The resulting gallery is too hilarious not to go through. Yes, that is Jessica Nigri above, and there are plenty more recognizable characters below. His own Ness costume isn't half bad either. Check out the full gallery below:

Vt. town denied a highway sign
Interstate 91 runs through Dummerston, Vt., and one of the exits is within its boundaries. But town officials still can't get a mention of the town on a highway sign.
State highway officials denied the request.
Traffic Operations Engineer Amy Gamble tells the Brattleboro Reformer it's not unusual to omit town names from highway signs. She says judgment calls are made as to the primary destinations a traveler might access from an exit or what will help them orient themselves as to their location.
She told selectboard members that while U.S. 5 does indeed pass through town, there is no 'dot on the map' for Dummerston itself and neighboring villages. She added from the driver's perspective, "there is no there, there."
Town officials say they're both amused and frustrated.

Blood clotting on death
Name: lynne kelley Status: N/A Age: N/A Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: Around 1993
Does blood clot when you die and if so, how exactly? Does it just thicken on death?
Author: lynne kelley Text: Does blood clot when you die and if so, how exactly? Does it just thicken on death? Yes, blood clots upon death. How? Actually, the mechanism of clotting upon death is the same in life. Blood clotting occurs in three general stages:
1) PROTHROMBIN ACTIVATOR is formed in response to blood vessel injury or damage to the blood itself.
2) This ACTIVATOR converts PROTHROMBIN into THROMBIN.
3) The THROMBIN acts like an enzyme to convert FIBRINOGEN into FIBRIN THREADS, which enmesh platelets, blood cells, and plasma to form the clot itself.
Now, since the heart stops pumping blood around the body upon death, the blood in a dead body essentially just sits in place in the vessels. In other words, the blood is in constant contact with the surface of the vessels. Such constant contact actually damages the blood. This initiates the INTRINSIC PATHWAY, involving many chemical FACTORS, which produce the PROTHROMBIN ACTIVATOR (step #1 in our summary above). This happens throughout the body, and once clotting begins, it is virtually impossible to stop naturally. Another source of damage to the blood is uncontrolled FREE RADICALS. In the living body, a system of ANTIOXIDANT enzymes, nutrients, and other substances are constantly neutralizing damaging molecules called FREE RADICALS. Free radicals are molecules with unpaired electrons and are the result of normal metabolism. However, when the body dies, the antioxidant systems die, too, and free radicals are left unchecked. By their chemical nature, they initiate destructive chain reactions which increase logarithmically. And as we saw already, damage to the blood would initiate the intrinsic pathway to begin blood clotting. Incidentally, blood can clot in the living body and cause a lot of problems. The condition is called ATHEROSCLEROSIS. If atherosclerosis occurs to a vessel leading to the heart, it could starve heart tissue, causing it to die, and cause a heart attack as a result.

Study, work and train
Students must gain support from their school to undertake a school-based apprenticeship or traineeship (SAT). The work and/or training of the SAT must impact on the school timetable to be considered school-based.
The school, student, their parent/guardian employer and training organisation will negotiate a schedule which outlines when the student is at school, work or training. This schedule must indicate exactly how the SAT will impact on the school timetable.
The training plan will also need to be negotiated between the student, employer and training organisation, and will specify training needs, how and when training will take place, who will provide the training and how training will be assessed.
The school has a role in providing support to the student throughout the SAT.
Work and training may take place:
- one to two days per week, attending school on the remaining days
- for blocks of time in the workplace
- on weekends, school holidays or after school.
Employers are required to provide a minimum of 375 hours (50 days) of paid employment per 12-month period. Over each three month period, the apprentice or trainee must work an average of 7.5 hours per week as a minimum.
SATs enter into a training contract with an employer. The training contract legally binds the employer and the school-based apprentice or trainee for the duration of the apprenticeship or traineeship.
Sometimes the employer will be a group training organisation (GTO). GTOs place apprentices and trainees with a range of host employers, who supervise and train students on behalf of the GTO.
SATs in the electrotechnology field must work a minimum of 600 hours (80 days) of paid employment for each year of the apprenticeship or traineeship.
At the commencement of the SAT, the school-based apprentice or trainee and the employer select a training organisation.
The training organisation is referred to as the supervising registered training organisation (SRTO) in the official paperwork.
Training organisations deliver off-the-job training and oversee the on-the-job training provided by the employer.
The qualification or competencies completed during the school-based apprenticeship or traineeship can be recorded on the student's Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE).
The training may be classroom-based, work-based or delivered flexibly (e.g. online training). Each training organisation offers different methods of training apprentices and trainees. The student and employer should look into options offered by various training organisations to find one which reflects both of their requirements.

It's an awesome book!
This book is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING I love it!
Such an interesting book!
this book is awesome
i loved it i first read the percy jackson series and i love it :) and i love this can't wait to read the next book
The Lost Hero book is complicated in the begging but adventure sprawls everywhere where Leo Piper and Jason are in a majical book from Rick Riordian
I don't know if anyone else thinks this, but I think "The Last Hero" is more mature and for older audiences than Percy Jackson. The language is fine with no scenes with anything bad :) (LOL my user is Leo lover! and the main character is Leo! (Well my user is after my dog :)
Anyone who loved the Percy Jackson series will surely love the Heroes of Olympus series too! This is the cd version of the book. If you can read it this way, I highly recommend it as the reader is great and really brings the characters to life so very well. Jason, Leo and Piper are the main characters in this book. The Roman Gods are featured as well as the Greek ones. A new nemesis emerges and there are really exciting battles and adventures.
BEST book everr!! bought the second one that came out a few weeks aGo! :P :D
This looks like another percy jackson book series

Well, it looks like I'm starting from scratch this year. 4 out of 5 are in theaters and the 5th comes out on DVD 5 days before the Oscars, so at least it's doable. :)
I saw No Country For Old Men which I was really looking forward to because all of the reviews I read kept saying how it was so fantastic. It was the biggest waste of time. You think the story is going somewhere but then it just kind of fades and at the end, you don't really care. My mom and I left the theater and said "Really?" We heard a lot of grumbling from others in the theater who also hated it.
Juno however, is FANTASTIC. Exactly what a movie should be… entertaining.
My mom saw Atonement and really liked it.

Alberta Village Museum and Ford Historic Sawmill
|Like many of Henry Ford's pet projects, the prim 1930s sawmill (rear) and powerhouse (foreground) at Alberta combined his economic and social goals. The timber sawn for his autos was logged from 400,000 acres of Ford-owned U.P. forests near Sidnaw, Pequaming, Big Bay, and elsewhere. Millhands and their families lived in adjoining Ford-designed Cape Cod houses, agreeing to live by his many rules.
To see Henry Ford the social engineer, a visit to this picture-perfect sawmill village, built in 1935, is well worth while — assuming you watch the excellent 10-minute introductory video and find the illustrated interpretive displays about Ford's thinking behind Alberta. They are tucked away upstairs in the sawmill. Then you'll likely walk away with a new appreciation of what means Ford used to create a certain type of worker and community. Some tidbits are unique to the Upper Peninsula: how Ford hoped to mechanize logging using his beloved Fordson tractor, why Ford wanted to own his own timberland (he thought his suppliers were taking advantage of him), and why he needed so much lumber. In 1924, when Ford founded Kingsford and built its extensive industrial complex, Upper Peninsula leaders were thrilled with the prospect of more Ford involvement in the U.P. They saw him as a source of jobs when area mines would eventually shut down.
Ford's ideal village also shows what he thought of his own cars and their impact on the landscape. Workers were to keep their cars in long group garages well behind their front and back yards. An outing to Alberta shows the sunny side of corporate paternalism. This is not the place to examine the darker aspects of Ford and Fordism, which were significant.
Alberta was part of Henry Ford's idealistic "village industries" : rural factories where workers could live close to the land - "one foot in industry, one foot in the land" - in contrast to the hundred thousand workers at Ford's giant Rouge complex in Dearborn outside Detroit. After the Rouge was up and running, Ford quickly soured on the immigrant urban proletariat he had attracted and created. His creative mind set to transplanting America's self-reliant rural roots into the industrial age he had done so much to develop. The Greenfield Village museum in Dearborn was one such result of Henry Ford's thinking. His money-draining village industry concept was another. Most village industries were in old southern Michigan towns (Dundee, Tecumseh, Manchester, Northville, Milford, Plymouth, and many more), tucked away on dam sites where they could generate their own power. (Ford was enthralled with the notion of having self-sufficient power sources.)
Alberta was consciously sited to be a showplace. By 1923 E. G. Kingsford, the Iron Mountain Ford dealer who was married to Henry Ford's cousin, had purchased for Ford Motor 400,000 acres of timberland in Baraga, Marquette, Iron, and Dickinson counties. Ford came to own the mill and village of Big Bay; a hydroelectric plant, sawmill/chemical processing plant, and iron mine at Iron Mountain/Kingsford; and sawmills at Munising, Sidnaw, L'Anse, and Pequaming.
Motoring along U.S. 41 between his summer home near Big Bay and his L'Anse facilities, Ford is said to have stopped his driver here by Plumbago Creek and exclaimed how this would be a fine spot for a mill pond and factory. "The mill and houses were in full view of passing motorists, demonstrating how a lumber mill operation should be managed," wrote Ford historian and relative Ford R. Bryan in Beyond the Model T: The Other Ventures of Henry Ford. "Signs along the road for miles made it clear that the village and surrounding forests were the property of Ford Motor Company. Visitors were welcome to picnic on the neatly mowed grounds beside the mill pond and visit the immaculately clean mill in operation." On a few occasions Henry Ford himself greeted visitors. There's still a small picnic area and nature trail by the millpond, on the east side of the highway.
Wood was used for Ford bodies until 1937, when Ford switched to steel. Ford station wagons or "woodies" continued to have wood bodies and sides. Ford's Upper Peninsula lumber operations were just one part of Henry Ford's program to acquire his own supplies of raw material, from iron and coal to timber and rubber. He revived one mine in Michigamme and started a new one. "On these ventures it is certain Ford wanted his source of supply primarily for reliability rather than for profit," Bryan wrote.
Here at Ford's model sawmill, band saw, log carriage, edger, trimmer are all in place - everything except the engines, which are at Henry Ford Museum complex in Dearborn. It's all in tip-top shape, meticulously painted, just the way Henry Ford expected all his far-flung properties to be maintained. A bolt chain lifts sample logs from the "hot pond," here represented by sand. It was a pond of heated water six feet deep where ice and dirt could be cleaned off logs throughout the winter. Large window areas allow for lots of natural light into the factory.
Ford corporate historian Bob Kreipke has prepared excellent signs, photos, and descriptions of each stage of sawing and milling wood. His video is quite interesting. The nifty gift shop has inexpensive scale models of woodies, relevant books including wildlife (Henry Ford loved birds), and bird's eye maple and other wood products, often made by Alberta's last sawyer, who sometimes gives tours.
When Henry Ford II took over from his senile grandfather, he quickly closed old Henry's beloved village industries. In 1954 Ford Motor gave the Alberta facility to Michigan Technological University. Michigan Tech's School of Forestry and Wood Products continues to use its Ford Forestry Center and 4,000-acre forest as a teaching and research facility with overnight housing. Other groups can rent it for conferences and classes, too. Call (906) 524-6181.

If you watch the news with any regularity, it's easy to believe that the Middle East is a terribly violent, war-torn region with no real hope for peace. It seems that explosions are destroying the region's greatest cities almost daily. It's all we hear.
That's why I wanted to take a moment to share with you some of the tremendous initiatives occurring online. For every deadly suicide bombing in a crowded market, there is a quieter revolution afoot. Many Middle-Easterners have put on their rally caps, and have begun the pushback for peace.
I recently read a story in The New York Times about a movement on Facebook. It's called YalaYL, and its primary goal is to introduce Israelis to Palestinians on a personal level—it's a cleverly-designed method of undermining (or deescalating) the conflict between the two cultures by accentuating their shared interests and passions. And it's working.
YaLaYL was founded by a former Israeli diplomat named Uri Savir, who also serves as president of the Peres Center For Peace, a non-profit, non-governmental organization committed to creating peaceful dialogue between Israelis and the Arab world. (The "YL" in the site's name stands for "Young Leaders." "YaLa" is the Arabic word for "Let's go.")
The Facebook page has become enormously successful in the past month. 7,500 people officially "like" it, but Savir says there are almost 23,000 "active users." While the page does nothing to conceal its Israeli ties, about 60 percent of the visitors are Arabic—mostly Palestinian, but also Egyptian, Tunisian, Lebanese and Saudi.
Savir's diplomatic ties have given the page an air of legitimacy. Visitors are greeted by a message from Israeli President Shimon Peres, who says, "The Arab Spring can become a Middle-East spring if the young will also lead the way to peaceful coexistence." Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas also offered a greeting, saying in part: "Watching the force of reason, dignity, and courage takes us through leaps of hope into a brighter future." Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who now serves as an international envoy to the Palestinians, has offered his support for the project, as have American actresses Kathleen Turner and Sharon Stone.
If you're unfamiliar with day-to-day life near the Gaza Strip, there's one important thing you should understand. These days, there is almost no interaction between Israelis and Palestinians. The two cultures are entirely segregated by a militarized "security barrier." (Culturally, there may be some pressure from the older generations to adhere to the segregation, but curiosity is driving the younger generation to traverse those borders the only way they can—on the internet.)
"Believe me, they don't know each other at all," Savir told the New York Times. "Our goal is to start by talking about art and sports. Since Israelis and Palestinians don't meet face to face anymore, this is a virtual place to meet."
The imposed segregation has been a well-intentioned concept that has backfired for younger generations. It exists in order to prevent conflict between the long-warring cultures—and in that regard it's been moderately successful. But in forcing each group into a self-contained, homogenous bubble, it has also driven a deeper wedge between the two factions—essentially hindering any future efforts toward a peaceful resolution.
To believe that YaLaYL will bring an end to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict might be foolishly naïve, but we mustn't underestimate the lessons learned in Tahrir Square and Tunisia. Revolutions can indeed begin in cyberspace, and no one understands this better than Uri Savir. "Today we have no brave leaders on either side, so I am turning to a new generation, the Tahrir Square and Facebook generation," Savir told the Times.
This is how conflict is resolved: by focusing on common ground and getting to know one another as people, by ignoring labels and fostering empathy. If YalaYL can help these two cultures understand each other better, it's certainly a step in the right direction.

About Hypoxic
Hypoxic was started in 2006 by Mark 'Trunk' Kirschenbaum to answer many needs in the skydiving camera world. Our main product is the Hypeye D Pro, a video controller and indication system that has become the standard in the videographer industry. But really it was just another story of a skydiver trying to find a way to make more money to support his expensive hobby. The company took off as the Hypeye became a necessity and in some cases a required item for video guys around the world. Finally in 2009, he was able to 'cut away' from his day job and focus on Hypoxic full time.
Then in 2010, Hypoxic took to the road and traveled the Boogie circuit in a 5th wheel RV, spreading the good word about our products, meeting tons of skydivers from many other dropzones and partying our butts off all in the name of networking and promotion. Now as the company moves forward, we are looking at new ways to help skydivers take the perfect picture and grab the awesomest video. There are endless possibilities with Sony cameras and the GoPro and Contour cameras as they become the norm for jumpers. Along with the Hypeye line of products, we also are the manufacture several mechanical solutions including camera plates, GoPro Camera Mounts, GoPro Camera Wrenches, and Contour Camera Adapaters. Lately, we've begun manfuacturering many still camera adapters along with optical interfaces for L&B's products. In additon, we are the manufacturer and distributor for Brent Finley's ringsights and work closely with Terry Schumacher's on his mounts and accessories. New products and vendors are being added weekly.
Hypoxic is based out of Chandler, AZ and can be found at Skydive Arizona in Eloy on the weekends- either at the DZ, The Bent Prop or at the Hypoxic trailer in the campground.
Our goal is to become the #1 source for all things camera in the skydiving world through camera accessories, advice and how-to videos and articles.
(Trunk and Erin from an helicoptor: photo Bill Schmitz)
Yep, he's the evil genius around here. Graduated from RIT with a degree in Electrical Engineering. Started skydiving in 2002 and has about 2500 jumps.
Erin was the mom of the operation until she moved on to better things and stuff in the skydiving industry. We are still grateful for her help in the early years of Hypoxic's development.

Fighting Cancer with Nutrition – Three Miracle Fruits and Vegetables
Fighting cancer with nutrition is important, especially since cancer-related fatigue associated with chemotherapy is frequently made worse if you are not eating and drinking enough or if you are not eating the correct foods. You need to get ample protein and vitamins as treatment for cancer, and ensure that your fluid intake is adequate.
Here are three fruits and vegetables to add to your diet right now so you can be successful in fighting cancer with nutrition.
Mushrooms contain special properties that can help our bodies in fighting cancer with nutrition. There are three types of mushrooms currently being studied by medical researchers for cancer treatment: maitake, shiitake and reishe. Maitake is the finest of all three when it comes to cancer-fighting properties, since it contains gafilon, a form of polysaccharide or sugar molecule that can stimulate one of the top components of the immune system, called macrophages.
Popeye the Sailor Man's miracle food is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to have an anti-carcinogenic effect in the laboratory. Other foods that contain fats that are important for fighting cancer with nutrition are flaxseeds, mustard greens, fish and olive oil.
Protein is especially important in order for you to get well and decrease your risk of infection, whether you're suffering from skin cancer or leukemia. For cancer sufferers, who may need to limit their meat intake, this can come from a plant-based diet with beans providing protein in combination with grains so you can obtain all the amino acids for tissue repair. Beans are also a good source of iron, which you will need in order to recover from blood loss during surgery.
When fighting cancer with nutrition, keep in mind that color makes a difference in fruit and vegetables. The darker colors appear to be the most powerful cancer fighters.

It's About Time: Democratic Party Should Adopt Marriage Equality in Platform [Gavin Newsom in HuffPo]
April 6, 2012
In 2006, the goal was Congress. In 2008, it was electing Barack Obama. In 2010, it was defending Congress. Now, as we unite behind our President and start down the path towards November's election, we have another defining moment — a chance to come together in Charlotte and state clearly what our party stands for. It's a chance for us to define for every voter, and more importantly, every American, what being a Democrat means. I believe that definition must include equality.

Adventures in Cultural Consumption, A Parable edition:
Pulp Fiction: My understanding is that this movie, when it came out, attained fame because of the distinctive elements of its director's metier: camera tricks, characterization, pop culture nostalgia (the 90s which loved the 70s which loved the 50s), the hacked-up storyline. None of these elements are remotely new anymore: some have been widely copied, some dulled by repeated (or superior) instances within Tarantino's body of work. All of that gone, the only thing that remains is a good film, which I watched again last night and enjoyed as I have enjoyed it many times before.

Daniel Luduena and Oribe Peralta scored either side of half time as Santos Laguna beat Monterrey 2-1 to claim the Mexican first-division title on Sunday.
Santos won the two-legged finals series 3-2 on aggregate after a 1-1 draw last week at Monterrey. The playoff decided the second half of Mexico's split season, called the Clausura.The first half title - the Apertura - was won by Tigres.
Luduena opened the scoring in the 6th minute and Oribe Peralta extended the lead in the 65th. Aldo de Nigris pulling one back for Monterrey in the 79th.
The title is Santos Laguna's fourth since the club was founded in 1983 and extracted some revenge after losing to Monterrey 4-3 on aggregate in last month's CONCACAF Champions League final.
Hard-fought win
"I thank the people and the club directors that have always been loyal to us,'' Luduena said. "I think it has created an excellent group.''
The victory was also a relief for the club, coming off the back of losses in three of the last four finals in Mexico's top division.
"I'm very happy, we worked hard for this through ups and downs,'' Luduena said. "The team has pride, it is strong and recovers quickly.''
Santos Laguna took the early lead when Luduena slid the ball under goalkeeper Jonathan Orozco from a tight angle after receiving the ball on the edge of the penalty box and driving past defender Hiram Mier. Torreon-born Peralta got the vital second goal for Santos at a time when Monterrey was throwing players forward searching for the equaliser.
Peralta finished into the bottom corner with a left-footed shot from just inside the area, with Monterrey's defenders out of position.Disallowed goal
Two minutes later, Peralta appeared to have put the game beyond doubt with another goal, but it was disallowed for a foul in the build-up.
"This is the reward for all the people that believed in us,'' Peralta said. "We dedicate this title to them.''
When an early second half equaliser did not come, Monterrey brought on Neri Cardozo and Cesar Delgado in the 52nd minute and increased the pressure on Santos Laguna. De Nigris' shot from the left hand edge of the penalty area into the far corner of the net again put the result in doubt and the last ten minutes of the game were played from end-to-end.
The defeat was Monterrey coach Victor Manuel Vucetich's first ever finals loss as a manager. His teams had previously won 12 straight finals, including five Mexican first division titles and two CONCACAF Champions League victories.

An organization that plans to honor fallen veterans who have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan has a lofty goal in mind that would result in a daunting display when completed.
Remembering Our Fallen, a veterans memorial organization based in Omaha, Neb. hopes to acquire a military and personal photograph of each soldier killed on a state-by-state basis since 9/11 when the war on terror began so they can be displayed during veterans and community events to honor them.
So far, Remembering Our Fallen has completed exhibits for five states - Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Colorado and, most recently, Arizona.
Last week, 40,000 people attended an event at Century Link Arena in Omaha that displayed the exhibits from all five states, and during the Arizona Baseball Charities Game at Scottsdale Stadium Sunday - an event attended by 8,000 - the Arizona portion of the exhibit was unveiled for the public.
The exhibit was removed from Scottsdale Stadium Tuesday and beginning Thursday until Feb. 9, the exhibit will be inside Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University's Library in Prescott. From there, it will move on to Kingman. The exhibit is likely to make its way to the East Valley again in the future - it will stay housed in Arizona with a volunteer representative from Remembering Our Fallen - although a future schedule is yet to be determined.
Included are the names of 135 fallen soldiers from Arizona, with 17 from from the East Valley. Most recently, Jonathan McCain, 38, of Chandler, was killed in Afghanistan on Nov. 13, 2011.
"Many of the parents and family members are concerned their loved ones will be forgotten when the war is over," said Bill Williams, executive director of the nonprofit Remembering Our Fallen, which he and his wife, Evonne, formed in 2009. "It's heartbreaking to us to see so many soldiers on it, but it means so much to the families. Unless someone has a family member or knows someone who has died in the military, these deaths don't affect most people. They may hear of the deaths of the fallen, but often, it just doesn't register, we believe. When you see all these people, the personal pictures especially, you realize the sacrifices these people are making and it hits home."
Williams and his wife have four sons serving in the military including three on active duty and one who has served two tours in Iraq.
"Our goal is to get a military picture and a personal picture of each soldier killed from every state, and be able to be able to complete traveling exhibits for all 50 states so people can see them and realize the service these young men and women have done for our country. We want these exhibits to travel to different places and not be sitting in a museum or in someone's garage because there's no interest."
Among a handful of the personal images on the exhibit that stand out among many:
• A photo of a soldier with his wife at the Grand Canyon.
• An image of another soldier sitting on his motorcycle with mountains in the background.
• And, a photo of Army PFC Barbara Vieyra, the 22-year-old Mesa mother with her then 3-year-old daughter Evelyn.
Vieyra, an expert marksman, with the 720th Military Police Battalion, 89th Military Police Brigade, was believed to be the first woman soldier from the East Valley killed in action on Sept. 18, 2010 in Afghanistan after insurgents in the violent Kunar Province attacked her unit using an improvised explosive device and rocket-propelled grenades, according to the Department of Defense.
Williams said his wife, Evonne, has the hard part of the job.
Usually beginning with the state's Office of Veterans Affairs, Evonne Williams, a former director of the Strategic Air and Space Museum in Nebraska, determines the home state for the soldiers, locates a family member and contacts them to inform them of the project so they can receive a picture.
It took Remembering Our Fallen two months to complete the Arizona exhibit.
"After determining which home state the soldier is from and locating a family member, we send them a letter," Bill Williams said. "Some of the letters get returned as undeliverable, some people don't respond because they don't know if it's a scam. They're living in Arizona but getting a letter from Nebraska, so we put ourselves in their shoes.
"This has given us a lot of satisfaction," Williams added. "You see what it means to the families. We would like to get pictures of the soldiers from all 50 states, but whether or not that will happen, we'll see."

Google Nexus 7 (2013)Compare9.5 reviewThe second generation Google Nexus 7 tablet contiinues with the tradition of the first to offer great specs at cost, which ballooned the Android tablets market share, chipping away at the archrival's iPad domination.

Apple iPad 2 VerizonCompare8.5 reviewApple's first CDMA tablet is a version of the iPad 2 for Verizon, and it shares all its specs, save for the 1.34 pounds (607 g) of weight. The iPad 2 improves on its predecessor in both desing and hardware, since the renowned tablet is now thinner even than the iPhone 4 at 0.34" (8.8mm). It is powered by a 1GHz dual-core Apple A5 chipset, which provides 2x the CPU and 9x the GPU performance of its predecessor. All that while keeping the same 10 hours of battery life.

Apple iPad 3 VerizonCompare9 reviewThe Apple iPad 3 for Verizon Wireless, or simply iPad, as it is officially called, is Apple's latest foray in the contemporary tablet market - a market the company single-handedly started about two years ago. Although the third-generation iPad remains the same on the outside (not a bad thing), it does bring a lot of improvements on the inside. First of all, it has a new screen resolution of 2048x1536 pixels, delivering an amazing for a tablet pixel density of 264 ppi. Another major improvement has to do with the processor of the device, which is now the so-called A5X - still a dual-core processor, but with a new quad-core GPU for outstanding graphics performance. The camera has also been given a boost and is now much more capable in terms of both photo- and video-taking. Finally, the new iPad 3 has been blessed with LTE connectivity. Additionally, all 4G iPads will also have global 3G capabilities, so you should be able to use 3G on most carriers around the world.+ View Specs

Motorola XOOM CDMACompare8 reviewMotorola XOOM is company's first ever tablet computer. It features a healthy-sized 10.1-inch capacitive screen with a very high resolution of 1280x800, a 5MP HD camcorder (front-facing cam included) and the mandatory dual-core ARM-based Tegra 2 chipset, which will allow for full 1080p HD video playback. The device surely looks sexy, as it has a large widescreen display and a bezel that is quite thin. Naturally, most of the buzz around the Motorola XOOM comes from the fact that it's the first tablet to run Google's tablet-optimized Android 3.0 Honeycomb operating system. This will bring a lot more functionality to the device, as all the core apps will be redesigned so as to allow the user to take full advantage of the much greater screen size, compared to what you get on a smartphone. Even widgets will be revamped, bringing new features, tastefully dressed in a brand new and shiny interface. In addition, the tablet will feature all the known goodies that we love like an accelerometer, gyroscope and of course, Adobe Flash 10.1 Player support.+ View Specs

Entrepreneurs are a hardy bunch. They may start their own businesses for a variety of reasons, weathering any number of adverse conditions to make it work. One thing they have in common is a willingness to take risks. Lots of people have good ideas, but how exactly do we encourage people to turn those ideas into businesses? One way is to cut taxes.
According to a recent study, "a reduction in the marginal tax rate on entrepreneurial income of one percentage point would increase probability of entry into entrepreneurial activity by 1.42 percentage points for single filers and 2.0 percentage points for married filers." Perhaps more interesting however, are what tax burdens do to active entrepreneurs. "A marginal tax rate reduction of one percentage point on entrepreneurial income reduces the probability of exiting entrepreneurial activity by 17.32 percentage points for single filers and by 7.81 percentage points for married filers."
The study, Taxes and Entrepreneurial Activity: An Empirical Investigation Using Longitudinal Tax Return Data, released by the U.S. Small Business Administration's Office of Advocacy, examines the relationship between marginal tax rates and individuals' decisions to start their own businesses and. It shows that even minor increases in tax burdens can suppress a significant amount of entrepreneurial activity.
Entrepreneurship is an inherently risky endeavor, and people willing to go into business for themselves discover a variety of innovative ways to both mitigate those risks and accept them. As we all know, however, taxes are an unavoidable dampener on the incentive to engage in self-employed activity even the best new product will be disincentivized by taxes. So it behooves policymakers to consider all the would-be start-ups they are forgoing when they increase tax burdens. Moreover, they should consider the liberating effect of decreasing tax burdens, unleashing latent entrepreneurial talent.
That a person can have a great idea, the ingenuity to turn it into a business idea, and the drive to put in the hard work to get it done, only to be foiled by the marginal tax rate, it's enough to "make a grown man cry."

BlackBerry Presents The Black Eyed Peas The End World Tour 2010
It was a given that BlackBerry would sponsor their tour, and it should say Proudly Presents. Especially with Will.I.Am and his "Hit Me On My BlackBerry". I can't say it's a surprise since they have the energy and the music to electrify any audience. While I love U2 dearly, I have to admit they were blown away by their opening act. I've got a feeling that this Tour is going to be a Great Tour. Check it out…
BlackBerry Loves U2 was a suspenseful hype, but when it came to the shows there wasn't much of RIM to be seen. A small booth and a few banners. Some commercials as well, and of course the U2 Mobile Album app from the BlackBerry App World, which fell short of expectations and hasn't been updated in a quite a while.
I love U2, I love their music, however…when we went to the U2 Concert I was blown away by the opening act. The Black Eyed Peas opened and the energy filled the air. They had an amazing show and I have to give RIM kudos for sponsoring such a great band. By the time U2 came out, everyone was pumped, but the energy wasn't the same. It was the first time I'd seen either in concert and I was really surprised, especially to see an opening band steal the show. And we don't need to question what phone Will.I.Am keeps as his phone. I'm looking forward to the tour and hope we'll see a music app from them come out that will be updated and just as captivating as they are.
You can see the splash on the BlackBerry home page and for more information on dates and tickets and newer developments, check out the Black Eyed Peas BlackBerry page here.
What do you think of RIM/BlackBerry sponsoring the Black Eyed Peas? We want to know. I'm excited and looking forward to see what's in the works.

360-Degree Mirror gives you eyes in the back of your head, sorta
Thursday, March 27, 2008 - 7:30am
Now why hasn't someone thought of this 360-Degree Mirror before? In the center you have an illuminated mirror, and out its sides pop six panels. Stretch them around your head, and you can see what's going on back there, giving you a full 360-degree view.
This sucker must be cheaply made, because $40 is not much of a price to pay to get both hands free for some serious stylin'. Now you can grow that mullet back again, dude! And for you ladies, no, those pants don't make your butt look big.

Notice: Please we are not judging or criticizing anyone, but only unveiling what God tells man to do in holy bible. It is up to anyone to choose to do it or not. But remember, God says in Romans 2:13-15 that the doers of the law will be justified.
Read down for the new testament bible quotations which prove that Jesus and Paul prove that Saturday the 7th day as Sabbath can not be changed to any other day irrespective of man changing it to 6th day of the week. Also as God counts days of the week as he never changes says in Malachi 3.6, irrespective of man changing them, and as he made Saturdays a special blessed holy Sabbath days forever which he calls it a sign between him and his people in Ezekiel 20:12 & Exodus 31:17.
Before you read down to see the new testament bible portions which prove how man changed God's Saturday 7th day as Sabbath to 6th day and made Sunday calender 7th of the week for Sabbath which bible word of God is against and doesn't support it in any verse or chapter, firstly read the new testament bible proves that prove that Christ and Apostle Paul never abolish old testament bible or Sabbath. Also as you read down you will see the only bible approved law which Christ's blood has done away with finally.
Christ says in John14:6 that he is the only way to salvation. So how he teaches us matters, but not how any preacher teaches or does it. In Matthew 5:17-18 Jesus says: Do not think that I have come to do away with the Law of Moses and the teachings of the prophets. I have not come to do away with them, but to make their teachings come true. Remember that as long as heaven and earth last, not the least point nor the smallest detail of the Law will be done away with—not until the end of all things. So then, whoever disobeys even the least of the commandments and teaches others to do the same, will be least in the Kingdom of heaven. On the other hand, whoever obeys the Law and teaches others to do the same, will be great in the Kingdom of heaven. In Hebrews10:28 bible say: (Anyone who disobeys the Law of Moses died without mercy) This shows that the Law of Moses is not abolished. In Acts 24:10-14 Paul says: (I do admit this to you: I worship the God of our ancestors by following that Way which they say is false. But I also believe in everything written in the Law of Moses and the books of the prophets) Paul & Jesus kept Sabbath as their customary church they go in Acts17:2, Acts 18:1-4 & Luke 4:14-17 which Jesus read old testament there. Sabbath was kept as a law in Luke 23:56. In Luke 16:17 Jesus says: But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one dot of the Law to become void. In Revelation22:18-19 bible says: I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, and if anyone takes away from the words of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city as described in this holy book. In John 5:45-47 Jesus says: (Do not think that I will accuse you to God. There is one who accuses you: Moses, on whom you set your hope. For if you believe Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?) In Matthew 12:8 Jesus says: For the Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.
Matthew28:1-6 says: After the Sabbath, as Sunday morning was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. Luke 24:1-5 says: But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb. NOTICE: These 2 bible portions prove that God recognises days, as Jesus rose on Sunday the 1st day of the week, which is after Sabbath day on Saturday the 7th day of the week, God recognised it. Also Genesis 2:2-3 says: And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he did. So God blessed the 7th day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all his work that he did in creation. NOTICE: These also proves that God chose the 7th day specifically & blessed it for Sabbath. He is so particular about the 7th day because it's a day that he finished creation. Biblically he never says anywhere chose any day as Sabbath. Whose report should we believe? God's chosen day or man's? In some calenders men changed Saturday to 6th day, & Sunday to 7th for Sabbath, but God says in Malachi 3:6 that he changes not. Even some say that any day can be your Sabbath, which is disobeying God biblically. Exod20:8-11 also proves 7th day as Sabbath. Read Deuteronomy16:1-12, Exodus12:1-24 you will see that God is not confused about months, years & days. He recognizes them and asks us to recognize them. So observing Sunday as Sabbath because Christ rose on Sunday or because of anything has no bible prove. Rev22:18-19 Proves that changing Sabbath day is disobedience. Some claim without bible prove that Paul made void of the law of Sabbath and gave option for one to choose Sunday or any day as a Sabbath to God instead of the biblical Saturday the 7th day of the week. To read the bible proves that put that wrong click the 2nd box written (PAUL & LAW OF SABBATH) located among the top boxes. Jesus says in John 4:22-23 that only him as a Jew and his followers worship the true worship, that others do not know what they worship, which he also made it clear there that salvation is of the Jews, which simply means that whoever that wants to worship the true worship has to graft in and be keeping Saturday the 7th days of the week as the Sabbath for God, just as Jesus Christ from Jew and his followers do. In Zechariah 8:22-23 Bible Says: (Many peoples and powerful nations will come to Jerusalem to worship the Lord Almighty and to pray for his blessing. In those days ten foreigners will come to one Jew and say, 'We want to share in your destiny, because we have heard that God is with you) This also shows that we will emulate the Jews biblical Sabbath way as the only pure way. God says in Exodus31:17 & Ezekiel 20:12 that Sabbath is a sign between him & his people. He also says in Romans 2:13-: For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified. Now ask yourself: Are you among those who keep the biblical Sabbath day as a sign between them and God whom heaven is waiting for as the justified ones? As Romans 2:13 say. Or are you among mass disobedient ones who say that any day can be your Sabbath?
1 Samuel15:22 says: Obey is better than sacrifice. Though it is biblical that only few would believe to keep the Lord's 7th day as Sabbath, as Matthew22:14 says: Many are called, bet few are chosen. Some people say that they do not believe in the old testament, that it is an old law, yet they go in it and take 10 commandments & just few laws that suit them, e.g Malachi 3:10 which says about tithe, or in Exodus 23:19 it says about first fruit, go through the new testament this two laws are not there. These show that old testament is not abolished. No one can take something from abolished thing. Or can you? NOTICE!!! Click the 3rd box written (IS ANY LAW ABOLISHED) located among the top boxes, to find out the only law biblically which Christ's blood has done away with finally. In Mark2:27-28 Jesus says: The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. Matthe15:9 says: In vain do they worship me, teaching men's doctrines & commandments. In Exodus 31:14 bible says: Everyone who profanes the Sabbath shall be put to death. God says in Leviti23:3, Exod20:8-11, Deutero 5:12-15: You shall not do any work on the Sabbath days, but keep it holy. Also read: Nehemiah 13:15-22, Isaiah 56:17, Exodus 16:26..

My opinion is that, i don't think she deserves to be where she is. She isn't even that good at singing and i don't think she should be singing. I don't like her at all, i'll beat her in 1v1 trickshot final.
Lorde is so pretty. she is my FAV singer!!!
Go Lorde!! I'm sure you can do better!!
awsome!!!! she is great
