John Varvatos Celebrates Fashion Week With The Roots!
Despite the plethora of Fashion's Night Out Parties taking place all over Manhattan, there was no place I would have rather been then the colossal clash of fashion and music that was the John Varvatos Fashion Week Party on The Bowery. While it's a well known truth in both the fashion and music worlds that Varvatos parties are always a packed house, filled to the brim with a stylish crowd, celebrities, and some of the most legendary music artists, no two of his parties are ever the same. Varvatos said of the night's guest band, the legendary Roots crew, "Incredible. It's something about the Roots being true musicians—they filled the room with pulsing energy, the likes of which we have never had. This was historic." As one of the party's lucky attendees, basking in stage-side glory, I couldn't agree more.
The night began inside the red carpet room, which in true Varvatos fashion, was surrounded by walls decorated with rock n' roll portraits of artists such as The Rolling Stones, Blondie's Debbie Harry, and Led Zeppelin's lead-singer Robert Plant. Stars who attended included: Chace Crawford, Amare Stoudemire, Hayden Panettiere, Miss Jay, Heidi Klum, Emma Stone, Kelly Bensimone, Corinne Bailey Rae, George Kotsiopoulos, and Rose McGowan!
Inside the former-CBGB's, which bands like Blondie and The Ramones used to rock back in the 70′s, its character was certainly preserved with the black walls littered with rock keepsakes. Under over-sized decadent chandeliers, I joined the crowd and rocked out to the first act, Grammy award-winning artist Gary Clark Jr. Often known as today's "savior of the blues, Clark in accompaniment with his band, got the party rolling with rhythm & blues infused rock ballads. After Clark Jr's set finished, he eventually joined The Roots on stage for what would be a lethal collaboration of today's finest rock and blues artists. ?uestLove, famed drummer of the Roots said, "We've worked with John Varvatos before and we are very happy to be here jammin' with him again."
Opening with "How I Got Over", a single of last year's "Wake Up" LP, The Roots thrilled the crowd and personally saw to it that nobody stopped dancing. A few songs in, everyone went crazy when surprise guest Corinne Bailey Rae joined the band on stage and performed Erikah Badu's soulful hook from their song "Baby You Got Me". To the delight of all the rock n' rollers, the crew also covered classic's " Sweet Child O' Mine" by Guns N' Roses and "The Immigrant Song" by Led Zeppelin. At one point guitarist, Captain Kirk Douglas, slowed things down with an acoustic break down, using his high-pitched vocals to elate the audience with songs like Donna Summer's sexy "Love to Love You Baby". Rounding out their set, The Roots left the crowd with their classic song " The Seed 2.0″, and one of the group's percussionists, Frank Knuckles, emerged from back shadows of the stage and demanded the crowd raise their arms, jump, dance until the music stopped. When the performance ended, Varvatos joined the band on stage and thanked them for their musical graces.
All in all, the party was perfection from beginning to end, and vindicated the Wall Street Journal's claim that "This was the sought after party of the night." From the artists who lit up the stage, to the overall atmosphere, the John Varvatos party was the ultimate place to paint the town red on Fashion's Night Out!

Charlton fit and raring to go
ALAN Pardew's side hope pre-season matches will help them get in shape, but if Greenwich University's research is anything to go by they are already on the right track.
Charlton travel to Welling United for the first XI's opening game on Wednesday and fans will have the chance to check on their fitness levels.
Recently the squad headed to Greenwich University's Medway campus for a check-up after their two-month summer break. And performance manager Niall Clark said he was delighted the Championship side had stayed in shape.
He said: "They need two or three weeks rest to allow the endocrine system time to recuperate and for the other five or six weeks, they have an individually-tailored fitness programme – this information tells me whether they've adhered to it.
"The biggest surprise is how well they have adhered to it, but the modern footballer is far more educated than when I was starting out in sports science 10 years ago.�
Blood tests were taken after three minute sessions on the treadmill and power measurements collected from jumping on pressure pads.
Charlton captain Matt Holland said: "As players we've always been tested in some form, but football has changed. It's becoming an athlete sport and information like this is vital for a competitive edge.�
The club's reserve team played their first pre-season match on Tuesday night with a 1-0 defeat against Bromley. The first team will hope for a better result again Welling United.

Vineyard, Sonoma Coast
Syrah Vineyard, Sonoma Coast
Alban Vineyard, Edna
Ranch, Russian River Valley
Ranch, Napa Valley
Hirsch Vineyard, Sonoma
Goldschmidt Vineyard,
Willamette Valley, Oregon
Introduced to the secrets of the Sonoma Coast in
1994 during a stint working for Helen Turley in her Marcassin Vineyard,
Ehren spent a full year noting the areas climate idiosyncrasies,
soil elements, and coastal influences. Its steep hillsides, rocky
soil, and cool temperatures made it an ideal location for cool climate
varietals. In addition, only a few other vineyards had made the
area their home, keeping land prices within reach of Ehrens
then demographic: Hand-to-Mouth. Once he was completely besotted,
he indulged his penniless self in a meeting with a local real estate
Several false starts and overpriced bogs later, Ehren found himself
walking a 40-acre parcel on the Gualala Ranch, boasting a whopping
five plantable acres perched on the crown of steeply sloping hillsides
fanning out like a skirt. Gary, the owner, had planned to finance
the note himself and figured that after several payments, this kid
would quickly go broke and forfeit the land back to him to sell
all over again. Pulling the proverbial rabbit out of his wallet,
Ehren came up with the down payment. Two years later he paid Gary
off in full. It would be still another year before we broke ground
on the vineyard.
The relatively small region within the Sonoma Coast AVA that our vineyard shares
with those of Marcassin, Flowers, Hirsch, Martinelli, and Peter
Michael, among others, is characterized by minimum elevations of
1000 feet, (keeping us just above the fog line), and distances from
the ocean of 1-3 miles as the crow flies (keeping temperatures lower
than average). ). In fact, an initiative led by the vintners at the above-named wineries is working to create the Seaview Fort Ross subappellation to better define the unique area we've all chosen to best express our varietals' potential.
Before we could layout our vineyard we had to liberate the wild
pig that Gary had penned up as a baby, find new homes for the decades-old
trailers left behind, and turn a cash-crop drying-hut into a civilized
shelter for overnights (the trailers were OUT of the question).
What we did not disturb was the towering bay tree, estimated at
300 years of age, which proudly stands in the center of the vineyard
casting its considerable shadow without prejudice on all sides.
Planted with year-old bench grafts in 1998, our humble five acres
of vineyard worked hard to produce fruit in its third leaf - although not enough to produce marketable quantities of wine until the 2001 vintage -
all according to plan. Tight spacing is the first thing visitors
notice; one block is planted with Syrah spaced meter-by-meter, and
the other with Syrah and Chardonnay spaced 3x6 feet. Because our
parcel is situated off of the power grid, solar panels and pumps are forced to carry water up 200 vertical feet from the two developed springs
on the property to holding tanks situated at the highest point above
the vineyard, before running back downhill through irrigation lines. This sisiphean task tends to limit each plant to an average of about eight gallons all summer. We still pamper the meter-by-meter Syrah but now dry-farm the 3x6 blocks.
In 1998 an adjoining parcel became available and we indulged our youthful empire-building tendencies and snapped it up. Our youthful bank account-building tendencies were not as successful, so development had to wait until 2002 when we planted rootstock. The area we cultivated faces southeast and is surrounded by, and defers to, stands of madronas, douglas firs, redwoods and giant oak trees, which host the best winter mushrooming grounds around. The following year we grafted scion material from six different Pinot Noir selections, chosen by Ehren based on more than 20 years of tastings, to ensure a diversity of plant material.
Also off of the power grid and blessed with
natural springs, this vineyards water is also muscled
hundreds of vertical feet uphill by solar power and metered out miserly. We picked our first fruit from this vineyard in 2006, wrestling a meager ton from the rapacious birds.
We have farmed organically since the beginning, adding compost and oyster-shell lime, hand-hoeing the weeds, planting nitrogen-fixing cover-crops in the fall, and mixing up cocktails of fish-emulsion and water for the irrigation system.
The Gualala Ranch, which hosts our vineyard, bears the scars of
a century of logging and the ravages of the Creightan Ridge fire
30 years ago. We therefor initiated, and continue, a responsible forest management plan which includes planting thousands of redwood and douglas fir seedlings throughout
our property. Our hope is that the wild pigs, coyotes, wild turkeys,
deer, and mountain lions will continue to thrive as their habitat
rebounds, and that the erosion so ubiquitous on our long denuded
hillsides will slow to a halt.

Hi my name is Stoney, you send me information on Faustina Vela (Robles) in Dilley, TX her husband was Santaigo Robles. Death certificate says he is buried in St. Joseph Catholic Cemetery, but as far as I can find there is no such place, but there is a church by that name and a St. Mary's Cemetery. If my grandfather was buried there it could be possible for her to be there as well. Thank you again for all your work in that area it is very much appreciated. have a nice weekend.

RE: Tia Elodia Cavazos
Ms. Russell, thank you so much for your prompt response. Elodia Cavazos was my dad's aunt. I met her and we visited twice prior to her death. She was kind enough to allow me to make a copy of her brother's (Teofilo Cavazos) photo and told me that she had several other photos that I could borrow to make copies. Some of the photos were of my father, Adan Cavazos (whose mother was Justa Cavazos; Teofilo's daughter). Tia Elodia was not married so I am hoping to be able to make contact with her family members (nieces/nephews, etc.) in the hope that they will allow me to make copies of my dad's photos. I also hope that they may have family stories that I would love to hear. I would really appreciate any information that you may be able to furnish. Thank you. Fannie Cavazos Hewgley.

Tia Elodia Cavazos
To: Maria Russell
Ms. Russell, my grandfather, Teofilo, was Tia Elodia's brother; my father, Adan, was born to him and Dolores Duran. I only met Tia Elodia when we moved to Rockport in 2004 and only visited her two or three times prior to moving back to Leander, Texas. She was going to share family information and make available photos (one of my father playing baseball)so that I could make copies for my family records. I was not aware that she passed until I happened upon her obituary in the Alice, TX, newspaper. I would like to make contact with you and others in your family as I am very interested in continuing my research into the Cavazos side of our family. Your response is very much appreciated. Thank you. Fannie Cavazos Hewgley, 235 Hoot Owl Lane N, Leander, TX 78641 - 512-986-5338.

This is not meant to be a comprehensive account of Crerar's life: for that you'll want to read Thomas Goodspeed's historical sketch on John Crerar (published in the University Record, new series, v.6 no.2, April 1920, LD907.R31. Also republished as a separate volume entitled John Crerar in 1939, HV28.C8G6.)
I admit that much of what follows I directly copied from Goodspeed's sketch, but this isn't really a bio. Instead, this page is devoted to what I personally like and admire about John Crerar.
Some quick facts about his life: John Crerar was born in 1827 in New York City, where he spent his childhood and early adult life. After graduating from high school, Crerar spent the next ten years or so working as a bookkeeper for various iron and steel firms in NYC.
When he was 29, Crerar left his current position to start a railroad supply company with Morris K. Jesup and others. The partners realized that Chicago was about to become the nation's railway hub, and sent J. McGregor Adams to open a Chicago branch of the business. Crerar followed Adams a year later. In 1863 Crerar and Adams amicably split from Jesup. Crerar, Adams, & Co. was listed in the Chicago directory in 1868 as "manufacturers and dealers in railroad supplies and contractors' materials."
Crerar and Adams brought in a third man, Edward S. Shepherd, and set about making their firm the largest railroad supply concern in the Midwest, dealing in everything from lanterns to entire train cars--Crerar helped finance and promote George Pullman's new Palace Car Company. Parts of the firm still exist: Adams & Westlake, which was an existing company acquired by Crerar, Adams, & Co. to bring more of the manufacturing orders in-house, still does business as Adlake.
Although generally healthy for most of his life, Crerar took ill in the spring of 1889, and traveled to Atlantic City to recuperate. However, while on the coast he had a stroke that partially paralyzed him. Crerar returned to Chicago and died in November at the home of his friend Norman Williams. Following his death, the leading citizens of Chicago held a memorial service at the Central Music Hall, at that time the chief city auditorium. There were so many attendees that the doors had to be shut before the service began.
Crerar was a lifelong bachelor and had no direct heirs. While he made some bequests to cousins on his mother's side and to close friends, most of his will is donations to specific charities and religious institutions, some of which I mention below. However, he reserved the bulk of the estate for the creation, construction, and maintenance of a new library.
Franklin MacVeagh, who spoke at Crerar's memorial service, said: "I could occupy all the time allotted me in enumerating and commenting upon John Crerar's virtues, but I shall not attempt it." Let me barge in where he did not tread: what is there to admire about John Crerar?
In an age where men of great personal wealth expected and relished the public spotlight, John Crerar was an exception. Morris K. Jesup described Crerar as "retiring, modest, and humble," who lived "without display or ostentation." Although Crerar gave generously to charities while alive, Jesup used to chide him for not spending his money more publicly, that he might be better known and praised. Crerar would always reply, "I am satisfied and content." He had no desire for prominence, shunning club presidencies, not seeking political office, and--although enjoying the company of his friends--was never what we would call a social butterfly. Instead, he often worked hard "without ostentation," as many of his friends said.
Although Crerar left money for a statue of Abraham Lincoln, he desired "a plain headstone" for himself. Judge B.D. Magruder took note of this: "With a modesty that bespeaks the greatness of his own soul, he orders a simple headstone to be placed at his own grave, but that a colossal statue be raised to the man who abolished slavery in the United States. The millionaire is content to lie low, but he insists that the great emancipator shall rise high."
Jesup said of Crerar, "I never knew a man who had so many real friends." As a founding member of the Commercial Club, an association of prominent businessmen, Crerar met men like Marshall Field, T.B. Blackstone, Philip Armour (meatpacker and founder of IIT), and others. He formed deep and lasting friendships with many of them, and upon his death his fellow Club members wrote in their minutes: "we who are his fellow-members have experienced a personal afflication such as can rarely come out of the intercourse and friendships of social life. He was not a recent friend nor one who could make a light impression upon his neighbors."
Crerar's business relationships often blossomed into friendships. When he entered into his last partnership with Adams and Shepherd, Crerar drew up a partnership agreement. The other two partners trusted Crerar so much that they never looked at the agreement until after his death, when they were surprised to find the Crerar had failed to specify in writing the division of the firm between the three partners. This was no obstacle, however, as the mutual friendship they enjoyed made it possible for the matter to be settled quickly and amiciably. Crerar not only bequeathed $50,000 ($1,000,000) to each partner, he left his personal watch and chain to J. McGregor Adams.
In his will, Crerar made several large bequests to various organizations: $25,000 ($500,000) each to the Presbyterian Hospital and St. Luke's Free Hospital (now merged into Rush-Presbyterian-St.Luke's), $50,000 ($1,000,000) to the Chicago Orphan Asylum, and $50,000 to the Chicago Relief and Aid Society. However, those who knew him said these were nothing more than an extension of the gifts he made while alive. Crerar didn't simply write checks, but served as an officer or on the boards of several charites, hospitals, and service organizations in New York and Chicago.
One of Crerar's partners told Goodspeed that Crerar used to keep a checkbook in the top drawer of his desk. When people came to him asking for help, he would listen to their case and, if their appeal made sense to him, Crerar would get out his checkbook and write a check, using the stub to record what the money was for. After his death, Goodspeed says, "these checkbooks were found and proved to be interesting reading. For example, on the stub of one check was found the following: 'A woman going about doing good.'"
Perhaps the greatest indication of John Crerar's giving came shortly after the great Chicago Fire in 1871. When news of the fire spread across the nation, the New York City Chamber of Commerce and other businesses and citizens of NYC wanted to help. They raised large sums of money, but were not sure how to distribute the aid. So they simply sent all their donations to one man, confident he would know what to do. That man was John Crerar.
As a lifelong bachelor, Crerar spent most of his evenings reading newspapers or books. He not only read widely, but encouraged others to read: in both New York City and Chicago Crerar joined library associations. While in NYC he was part of a committee that brought the English novelist Thackeray to lecture there in 1855.
The chief example of Crerar's appreciation for books is in the chief bequest of his will: "I give, devise, and bequeath all the rest, remainder, and residue of my estate, both real and personal, for the erection, creation, maintenance, and endowment of a free public library to be called "The John Crerar Library..." Crerar named the first board of directors--all personal friends--and wrote the following instructions:
Crerar was a staunch Presbyterian and a committed churchgoer. He faithfully attended the Second Presbyterian Church of Chicago, and was an elder and trustee there. In his will he left Second Presbyterian $100,000 ($2,000,000)..."so long as said church preserves and maintains the principles of the Presbyterian faith." The stipulation illustrates that Crerar was not content merely to go to church but took an active interest in its affairs, as an elder should.
John Crerar's favorite Scripture passage was the eighth chapter of Romans, which his pastor said he knew by heart. It was read at his memorial service.
Faith for Crerar was not a Sunday-only activity. Goodspeed writes, "All his friends knew him as a Christian man. He was outspoken in his faith and never hesitated to defend Christianity in when it was attacked in his presence." At his memorial service several speakers made reference to Crear's piety and his zeal in encouraging church attendance.
Crerar also took part in many Christian organizations. He was a member of the YMCA while in New York City, and remained interested in its work throughout his life. He gave yearly to the work of the American Sunday School Union, and bequeathed $50,000 ($1,000,000) to the ASSU for the work of establishing Sunday schools "in the Western States and Terroritories." The ASSU was faithful to Crerar's request, and for many years published an annual report outlining the work supported by the Crerar fund. Goodspead, looking back over roughly twenty-five years, reported: "About 1,600 Sunday schools had been organized in remote districts of the North and West, with nearly 60,000 scholars. These missionaries [ones supported by the Crerar Fund] had aided in various ways 10,000 Sunday schools in which there were 160,000 pupils. They had distributed 12,000 Bibles or portions of Scripture. Nearly 90 churches had been organized and about 7,000 converts had been lead into a new life."
After Crerar's death, his executors and trustees laid his body to rest next to his mother's grave in Brooklyn's Greenwood Cemetery, as he desired. In accordance with his will, they placed a plain headstone to mark his grave, carving upon it the words: "A just man, and one who feared God."
I have made great use of Goodspeed's sketch of John Crerar, cited above, and the Chicago Tribune account of his memorial service (Dec 23, 1889, pp.1-2).
Dollar amounts, when mentioned, are first given as Crerar specified them, and then secondly in 2002 dollars. The year 1893 is used for conversion. Converter is at: http://www.cjr.org/resources/inflater.asp

The Cool Way To Lose Fat
Before you think about a quick nip/tuck to finally rid yourself of unwanted fat, you may want to consider a new fast, effective weight loss method making waves on the market and all across the media.
CoolSculpting, a revolutionary body contouring treatment for melting away stubborn fat, has become a popular alternative to the surgical procedure of liposuction, and is now offered in Louisville at Physician's Center for Beauty.
Dr. Sean Maguire, staff physician at Physician's Center for Beauty, visited J Michael's Spa & Salon on Oct. 23 to present a free Botox & Cool Sculpting 101 Seminar to inform men and women interested in the relatively inexpensive and effective non-invasive treatment.
"I can tell you (CoolSculpting) works," said Dr. Maguire. "I feel very comfortable recommending it for those people that have problem areas. It's not a weight loss method for people that need to lose weight, but for those people that are basically at their ideal body weight or are doing well with their weight, (they) just have some problem areas that are not responsive to diet and exercise, and those areas primarily are the abdomen and the love handles."
The FDA-approved procedure is best suited for subcutaneous (beneath the skin) fat found in the abdomen and love handles, though it can be performed on areas of the arm and occasionally the thigh. The method of CoolSculpting was developed following the discovery of popsicle panniculitis, a phenomenon detected when a doctor noticed children who ate popsicles frequently experienced selectively damaged subcutaneous fat. The revelation motivated scientists to apply the finding to fat loss procedures, and, thus, CoolSculpting was born.
With the CoolSculpting treatment, a cooling unit is placed on the area of fat a patient would like to lose. The device draws the bulge up between two cooling panels, eliciting a firm pull and pressure. The cooling unit causes targeted fat cells to collapse and release their contents – fats and triglycerides – into surrounding tissues. These contents are then picked up by the body's lymphatic system and ultimately excreted. The body will continue to flush fat cells for up to four to six months after the treatment, though a person may start to see changes as quickly as three weeks after the procedure and will witness the most dramatic results after one to three months.
Once the CoolSculpting treatment is complete, a massage therapist smooths out the treated area. Since CoolSculpting is completely non-surgical, a patient can typically return to normal activity immediately. Some people experience redness, minor bruising, tingling, numbness or discomfort in the treated area, but this is a temporary effect and will resolve completely.
To illustrate the ease of the treatment and the CoolSculpting method, Dr. Maguire allowed attendees to witness a live demonstration during the seminar. He warned that the first five minutes can be somewhat uncomfortable for a patient, but once the area becomes numb from the cold, there is little discomfort. In fact, many men and women will read or play on their electronic devices to pass the time during the procedure, which typically takes one hour for the abdomen and one hour for each of the love handles.
As long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle, long-term results should remain stable, however, each individual fat cell can enlarge if a person were to overeat. "If someone does gain a significant amount of weight, what we generally see is that (the targeted) fat is more evenly distributed into other areas." Dr. Maguire explained.
Dr. Maguire encourages his patients to decide up-front whether they want one or two treatments so the second procedure can be performed approximately one month later. Based on past procedures, he's found results tend to compound themselves when a treatment is repeated in close proximity. "For the right patient, two treatments oftentimes can give us results close to what we can get with liposuction," Dr. Maguire said. "It's pretty impressive for those people that are basically in good shape (but) just have problem areas."
If you've tried diet and exercise, but still seem to have difficulty eliminating certain areas of fat, CoolSculpting can help you achieve your desired end-result without the worry of surgery or the hassle of scheduling downtime. This is no fad treatment or weight loss gimmick. With generally permanent fat loss, there's plenty of reason why CoolSculpting has garnered so much hype and is worth your investment to look your best yet.
"I have not had a single device, non-surgical or otherwise, that has given us (such) consistent results (as CoolSculpting) that I've been able to say, 'This is going to work for you,'" Dr. Maguire assured. "In the right patient (CoolSculpting is) going to work, and the results are going to be significant and measurable."

When you restart and tried Alt+Tab, it only appears in a flash and gone.When the window disappears and I try to restart the installation I get a message saying it is already running.Bcoz your app is crashing,better,dnld process explorer by Microsoft from Sysinternals.com,see the processes and KILL the process running,but not showing on screen.Looks the same problem you had earlier before formatting.Is windows CD corrupt,it becomes after sometime and some system files are dead and it always shows errors.Have you tried F secure rootkit or GMER rootkit.Finally,best method is dnld reimage setup,in two min. you will have system OK through its site.Next time 65 dollars,immediately install a good Internet sec soft like KIS 2010,Norton etc.You are looking into Task Manager app. tab,look into processes tab.Either defective Xp or trojan/virus

You refresh my spirit. ;) I feel like I need to be a better person to better deserve the awesome friends that I have.
I feel like I've got so much to learn from my friends. And I think that having friends that inspire you and people that you want to learn from…those are the best friends you can have.
Seeing the ocean for the first time was so exciting. I hope we get to reverse the situation when I take you to see the Falls. ;) I was almost feeling overwhelmed at just how vast the ocean is… Even seeing it from the beach. I don't know if the Falls will give you the same impression… To me they are pretty standard by now, but they are considered a natural wonder. You'd better get your passport application going now!! We will walk over the border and see the view from the Canadian side. It is beautiful.
beauty11 ...you have to keep alive that part of yourself that's rebellious
I already think...
you're an amazing person! I had so much fun with you. It never felt weird for even a second. I feel like I've known you forever. Although, you probably think we are all insane now ;) lol.
Even witnessing you see the ocean for the first time was major for me. I know that sounds silly, but it's quite like teaching my kids something new. I can't really explain it. I'm dying to see the Falls. I actually had a dream about it recently! I don't think I told you about it, but it was phenomenal! :D
I seriously think you are my officially travel buddy. There are so many amazing places we can go!!!!! EEEK!!!! Definitely one of our coolest goals thus far. So happy you helped me accomplish it!

oilseed production is 2500 to 3000 lbs/acre, it grows well in marginal soils, requires no fertilizer or water, and the organic matter left after pressing the oil seeds is excellent (high in omega 3 fatty acid) livestock feed, or better yet, when combined with abundant cow, pig, or turkey/chicken manure and processed in an anerobic digester produces high quality methane gas which can be burned in a microturbine (like the capstone series 200) to produce both heat and power (electricity) at an efficiency of 75 to 85% (much more efficient than traditional power plants) with the leftover residue from this process being ammonia and potting soil which can be sold comercially or returned to the farm fields as fertilizer. it grows extemely well in cold climates, and when you return to the farmers the biodiesel that can be produced for $1.25 to $1.50/gal, the economics look even more interesting. now lets include the farmers in a co-op which participates in the profits from this process and we can provide a portion of the trillion gallon market our military requires, instead of continuing to export three quarters of a trillion dollars anually to people who don't like us. wake up america, don't let BIG OIL' BIG BANKS' or their surrogates fool you any longer!! of course this is not the only answer, but it certainly is one of them, and a very viable one at that.

Paul McCartney was among the stars who performed at Wednesday night's 12.12.12 Concert For Sandy Relief. His set included the Beatles classics "Helter Skelter" and "Blackbird," as well as the Wings track "Let Me Roll It."
He also teamed with the surviving members of Nirvana - Krist Novoselic, Pat Smear and Dave Grohl - for the track "Mama."
Other acts included Eric Clapton, Billy Joel, the Rolling Stones, the Who, Roger Waters and Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.
Funds raised by the concert, which took place at Madison Square Garden in New York City, will benefit the victims of Hurricane Sandy. The storm hit the Northeastern U.S. in October, causing an estimated $65 billion in damage.
The concert was broadcast live over a number of TV networks.
The event also featured appearances by various celebrities, including Katie Holmes, Jamie Foxx, Billy Crystal, Susan Sarandon, Adam Sandler, Brian Williams, Kristen Stewart, Jon Stewart and Chelsea Clinton.

I would like to ask what do you think about brightness of this image. Do you see it as too dark/too bright or OK? Especially in the rocks. I'm asking this because if I look it on my display (MBP retina) it looks OK, but if I look it on my older (cheap) display it looks brighter (actually too bright).
Have you calibrated both displays?

Definitions for ultramicroscopeˌʌl trəˈmaɪ krəˌskoʊp
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word ultramicroscope
Random House Webster's College Dictionary
ul•tra•mi•cro•scopeˌʌl trəˈmaɪ krəˌskoʊp(n.)
an instrument that uses scattering phenomena to detect the position of objects too small to be seen by an ordinary microscope.
Category: Optics
Origin of ultramicroscope:
ul`tra•mi`cro•scop′ic-ˈskɒp ɪk(adj.)ul`tra•mi`cro•scop′i•cal
Princeton's WordNet
ultramicroscope, dark-field microscope(noun)
light microscope that uses scattered light to show particles too small to see with ordinary microscopes
a microscope that uses bright illumination against a black background to view small particles
An ultramicroscope is a system of illumination for viewing tiny particles. When the diameter of a particle is below or near the wavelength of light, the particle cannot be seen in a light microscope with the usual method of illumination. The ultramicroscope system is based on light scattering, not light reflection. In the system, the particles to be observed are dispersed in a liquid or gas colloid. The colloid is placed in a light-absorbing, dark enclosure, and illuminated with a convergent beam of intense light entering from one side. Light hitting the colloid particles will get scattered. In discussions about light scattering, the converging beam is called a "Tyndall cone". The scene is viewed through an ordinary microscope placed at right angles to the direction of the lightbeam. Under the microscope, the individual particles will appear as small fuzzy spots of light moving irregularly. The spots are inherently fuzzy because light scattering produces fuzzier images than light reflection. The particles are in Brownian motion in most kinds of liquid and gas colloids, which causes the movement of the spots. The ultramicroscope system can also be used to observe tiny nontransparent particles dispersed in a transparent solid or gel.

Caring for Cleft lip/palate babies
Homemade Puppy Formula
1 can evaporated milk
1/2-3/4 can distilled water (or baby water or boiled water-cooled)
1 cup plain yogurt (NOT fat free)
1 tbsp Karo syrup (corn syrup)
1 egg yolk
Feed 1cc per OZ ( or 1 tbsp per pound) of body weight every 3 hrs - is the general rule of thumb.
Store in the refrigerator
Recipe using goats milk
10 ounces of goats milk
(I found it in my grocery store in the health food/Organic section)
1 tbsp. light corn syrup
1 cup of plain white (whole milk) NOT LOW FAT yogurt
1 egg yolk
Pour 10 oz. of goat's milk into a bowl and add in 1 tbsp. of corn syrup, 1 cup of plain white yogurt, and one egg yolk. Mix up the ingredients well using a whisk or electric mixer.
As a general rule, feed 1 cc. per 1 ounce body weight
If a puppy weighs 3 ounces, feed 3 cc's every three hours.
How to tube-feed a puppy
A puppy born with a cleft palate can't latch on properly to nurse! It may look like they are nursing but they may not be getting enough to sustain them. They may not be getting anything at all. Think of sucking on a straw with a hole in it. It looks like you are sucking but you are getting little to nothing.
A puppy born with a cleft palate should be pulled from mom immediately. If the puppy does manage to nurse just a little, they will be exposed to aspiration pneumonia. The safest way to feed a cleft palate baby is to tube-feed them. Below is a video showing how to tube-feed a puppy.
What you will need to care for a newborn pup with a cleft palate:
A catheter feeding tube. They come in many sizes and can be purchased at your vets office
A bulb syringe (to suck out babies mouth and nose if they burp up formula)
A heating pad
Hand-warmers for emergency trips to the vets office to keep baby warm
A good scale (monitoring weight is essential!!)
Puppy formula - either purchased at a pet store or homemade (recipes below)
Nutri-cal or Karo syrup
Additional Information:
If your puppy shows signs of pneumonia (nasal discharge/lethargy/coughing,) bring them to the vet. Have a vaporizer on hand or a nebulizer.
give a puppy weighing less than a pound antibiotics of ANY kind without consulting your veterinarian.
A compounded prescription will have to be made by a pharmacist! Full strength antibiotics on a newborn puppy will KILL the puppy.
It will shut down the liver and kidneys!!
The information provided is just a guide. I AM NOT A VETERINARIAN! I am only someone that has experience in tube-feeding.
Please see your vet for professional advice on how to care for any animal needing assistance.
Most vets will have no problem showing you how to tube-feed and if they do have a problem with it, find a new vet.

If you are inserting the tube the wrong way the puppy will choke and gag. Simply remove the tube and start over. Never squeeze the syringe if the puppy is choking or gagging!!

A cleft palate is a physical birth defect caused by incomplete fusing of the two halves of the palate during neonatal development. The palate is the roof of the mouth. The hard palate is the front part of the roof of the mouth, between the teeth, and separates the oral cavity from the nose. The soft palate extends from the back of the hard palate to the throat (pharynx) and is made of softer, fleshier tissue. When an animal swallows, the back of its soft palate normally swings up against the top of its throat, blocking the movement of air and food into the nasal cavity.
Some authorities classify cleft palates into two categories: 1) primary cleft palates, which involve the upper lip and/or the most frontal part of the hard palate; and 2) secondary cleft palates, which involve the middle to back parts of the hard and/or soft palates. A cleft lip is a congenital defect in which the two sides of the upper lip do not properly fuse in an unborn puppy. In the above classification scheme, a cleft lip is included within the definition of a primary cleft palate. Another name for this particular defect is harelip.
Causes of Cleft Palate
Cleft palates are caused by something that disturbs the normal processes that form the face and jaw during fetal development. There is a failure of fusion of certain paired structures in utero. The hard palate, soft palate or both can be affected. Most authorities think that there is a genetic cause; mating a male and a female that both have cleft palates reportedly results in more than 40% of their offspring also being affected with the condition. Poor maternal nutrition, viral infection of the bitch during pregnancy, exposure of the pregnant female to toxic drugs, chemicals or other substances, metabolic disorders and physical or mechanical interference with the fetus during development have all been implicated as potential causes of cleft palates in dogs. Administration of corticosteroids to the female during pregnancy has also been associated with cleft palates in her puppies.
Prevention of Cleft Palate
There appears to be a significant hereditary component to cleft palates in domestic dogs. One of the best ways to prevent this defect is to spay or neuter affected animals – or at least to remove them from the breeding population. Authorities recommend that corticosteroids or other drugs that can potentially cause birth defects not be given to bitches during pregnancy.
Symptoms of Cleft Palate in Dogs
Owners of dogs with cleft palates may notice one or more of the following things, especially in very young puppies:
Nasal congestion
Difficulty nursing or inability to suckle (caused by a physical inability to create enough suction or negative pressure to nurse properly)
Chronic nasal discharge (milk, mucus and/or pus dripping out of one or both nostrils of a newborn puppy)
Difficulty eating (dysphagia)
Difficulty breathing (dyspnea; respiratory distress; labored breathing; caused by aspiration/inhalation of milk, water or food)
Poor body condition; ill-thrift
Obvious "split upper lip"
Dogs at Increased Risk
Cleft palates occur sporadically in all breeds and mixed breeds, in dogs of either sex. However, they reportedly are more common in Beagles, Boston Terriers, Brittany Spaniels, Bulldogs (English and French), Cocker Spaniels, Dachshunds, German Shepherd Dogs, Labrador Retrievers, Pekingese, Pointers, Schnauzers, Shetland Sheepdogs and Shih Tzus. Brachycephalic breeds – those with broad skulls and short, flat faces - are predisposed to developing cleft palates.
How Cleft Palate is Diagnosed
Any newborn that is not thriving will be given a thorough physical examination by the attending veterinarian, who also will take a good history of the health of the bitch and of all of the littermates. A cursory examination of the upper lip and oral cavity by a veterinarian or knowledgeable breeder usually reveals a cleft palate, with the occasional exception being if the midline defect is isolated far back in the soft palate. This is not especially common in companion dogs. The normal initial database of blood work (a complete blood count and serum biochemistry profile) and a urinalysis may or may not be abnormal. If the puppy develops aspiration pneumonia as a result of a cleft palate, the preliminary blood work may identify an infection. Thoracic radiographs (chest X-rays) may be recommended if the puppy is showing signs of respiratory distress.
The best way to definitively diagnose a cleft palate is to conduct a thorough oral examination under general anesthesia. During that procedure, the veterinarian will be able to get a good look at the puppy's hard and soft palates and evaluate the precise nature and extent of the defect.
Treatment Options
The goals of treating a cleft palate are to: 1) provide sufficient nutritional support until the puppy is old enough and healthy enough to survive surgery; 2) treat and resolve aspiration pneumonia or other associated respiratory disorders, if present; 3) close the anatomical defect surgically if possible; and 4) restore the dog's ability to eat, drink and live normally, healthily and happily.
Intensive supportive care is usually necessary for any puppy with a cleft palate. The puppy's physical inability to create enough suction to nurse normally usually requires that it be fed by hand. This involves carefully passing a flexible rubber tube down the dog's esophagus (throat) directly into its stomach, and feeding either bitches' milk or a milk-replacer formula through the tube, to ensure the puppy's daily nutritional and caloric intake. This is not a particularly difficult procedure and most owners can be taught to tube feed their puppies at home. However, it is essential that the tube not be inserted down the trachea (wind pipe). Unfortunately, no matter how careful the person feeding the puppy is, puppies with cleft palates often develop aspiration pneumonia. Many of them simply do not thrive and die young.
Pneumonia must be treated and resolved before surgery is a realistic option. Antibiotic therapy may be necessary to manage secondary bacterial respiratory tract infections. Once the puppy is stable, surgical correction may be an option, especially if the palate defect is small. Reconstructive surgery is usually done at between 2 and 4 months of age, shortly after weaning. There are a number of different surgical techniques to rebuild a cleft palate, depending upon its location, but each of them is complex and should be performed only by a veterinarian experienced in the procedure. Multiple surgeries may be necessary to achieve successful correction, if that is even possible.
Medication to manage pain is extremely important after any surgical procedure to correct a cleft palate. Opioids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are often recommended. Nutritional support post-operatively will require liquid or very soft food for up to 4 weeks or more, with no dog biscuits or hard chew toys during the recovery period.
Attempts at surgical correction of cleft palates historically have had a fairly high complication or failure rate. However, newer techniques are improving the success rate in domestic dogs. Because most cases of cleft palate are thought to have a hereditary component, there is an ethical issue surrounding keeping affected dogs intact and using them for breeding. Most authorities recommend that if a cleft palate is corrected surgically, the dog should be spayed or neutered, or at a bare minimum securely removed from any breeding program.
Euthanasia is an option that owners may need to consider for very young puppies diagnosed with a cleft palate, depending upon its location and severity. The puppy's veterinarian is the best one to discuss all possible treatment choices with its owner.
Without surgical repair and reconstruction, the prognosis for puppies with cleft palates is poor. However, if surgery is done and post-operative management is well-handled, the prognosis for recovery is fair to good. The best chance for success is on the first attempted surgical repair procedure. If more than one surgery is necessary, the prognosis worsens. The prognosis for puppies that develop respiratory disease from aspirating milk or food because of a cleft palate is poor to grave. If there is significant soft palate involvement, especially if most of the soft palate is absent, the prognosis is also grave. With or without treatment, many affected puppies die at a young age.

Shop Desk Chairs
Create a comfortable and relaxing home office environment by investing in a new desk chair. The Desk Chair Store by Home Gallery Stores has many types of desk chairs that range in styles and materials, so you can pick one that matches the look of your home office. Whether you are looking for an executive desk chair, task chair, ergonomic chair or reception chair, there are plenty of options to choose from, so finding one for your office will be an easy task. Other features you should consider when looking for your desk chair are arm style, stationary or mobile, upholstered or not, seat height and upright or tilting. Finding a comfortable desk chair is essential in putting together a home office that suits your needs.
Executive chairs are the ultimate "I'm the boss" statement chairs. If you are looking for a chair that is as equally handsome as it is comfortable, then an executive chair is what you need. Executive chairs are usually leather upholstered, mobile and have an adjustable height, making them very practical but they are also very traditionally styled. This is a good option if you have clients over often and want to make a strong lasting impression.
Task chairs are built for mobility for the busy worker who needs comfort throughout the day. A task chair is lighter and less bulky than most executive chairs, making it a good option for someone who needs to be able to move around frequently. A task chair can fit in nicely with most décors because of the simplistic style.
If comfort is your number one criteria for choosing a desk chair, then an ergonomic chair is your best bet. Ergonomic means it is designed for maximum comfort, ease of use, and efficiency, so there really is no better option chair in the comfort category. Ergonomic chairs tend to have a more contemporary look and would like very nice in a modern, minimalist office.
Reception and Side chairs are very basic, usually wood chairs that are good options for students, in a waiting room or as additional seating in a small office. These types of chairs do not take a lot of room, can be moved very easily and are at affordable prices. While this type wouldn't really be the most comfortable option for the person who will be sitting at their desk for 8+ hours a day, they are a great for those who only use their office for limited times.
