Equation Editor Quick Reference GuideThis document is a quick reference guide for the keystroke based equation editor integrated into Cassiopeia. Please note the following basic rules before going through the tutorial.
- Use the four cursor keys to efficiently navigate within formulas. Cursor left moves cursor to the left. Cursor right moves the cursor to the right. Use cursor down to dive into a selected part e.g. a fraction part. Use cursor up to come up again if you are deep in the innards of a complex part with lots of subcells, e.g. a matrix.
- Never press space or tab while in formula mode. Cassiopeia spaces identifiers and operators automatically.
- The equation editor in its current form is optimized for single character identifiers. This means if you press the two keys a and b in succession Cassiopeia creates two identifiers and assumes you mean to multiply them. This design decision was made since 99.9% of the identifiers in the literature are single character identifiers and because expressions can be entered very efficiently following this route (no need to give a terminating character behind every entered identifier).
- Use suffixes to denotate and distinguish identifiers if a single character seems insufficient, e.g.
If you miss a part or symbol on the palette or in the list below please send us a mail to firstname.lastname@example.com. This helps us to improve Cassiopeia.
Quick StrokesA quick stroke consists of the Ctrl-key and another key pressed together.
SuffixTo get a suffix press Ctrl-l (for low) followed by the suffix characters. Get out of suffix mode using the cursor up key.
PowerYou get a power part by pressing Ctrl-h (for high).
FractionTo get a fraction part press Ctrl-f.
Inline formulas are automatically rendered in a flat form.
RootTo get a root part press Ctrl-r. Get out of the root argument using cursor up and cursor right.
DifferentiationUse Ctrl-d to note a differentiation.
If you doubleclick on such an expression the differentation is executed. If you do not need automatic differentiation (symbolic algebra) you can alternatively note the expression using a fraction part like so.
The partial d can be entered as follows
You can also type
and then enter any character of your choice to complete the partial diff expression, e.g. Ctrl-g a for alpha.
Numbers with unitsNumber unit pairs (physical properties) are entered with the quick stroke Ctrl-p.
UpgradeThe upgrade stroke Ctrl-y is used to upgrade an undetermined intergral (see select strokes below for a list of available integral parts) to a determined one. Assume you have entered an intergal (as shown further below)
and want to add integration limits. Do so by clicking into the equation and then using cursor up to select just the integral
and then press Ctrl-y.
Click into the limit cells and enter limit values.
Select StrokesA select stroke consists of the Ctrl-key pressed together with another key to select a map of symbols/parts, releasing both keys and then pressing another key to select an item from the selected map.
Frequently used symbolsThe following list gives the shortcuts for the most frequently used symbols. For a complete list of strokes choose Core - Strokes in the Cassiopeia menu.
Greek LettersSelect the greek letter map with Ctrl-g and then press one of the letters a...c or A...C to get the corresponding letter from the greek alphabet.
Vector AccentA vector accent can be entered using the key stroke Ctrl-a v. For creating an acrtual vector part see the the parameter stroke section further below.
OperatorsThe following operators are currently supported in addtion to the trivial plus, minus and latent multiplication of scalars.
IntegralsThe following parts are available via the Ctrl-i select stroke:
Note, these parts can be upgraded to their determined counter parts using the quick stroke Ctrl-y (see quick stroke section).
ParanthesesParantheses can be entered with the brackets select stroke Ctrl-t.
Binominal CoefficientsFactorials are entered naturally.
Binomial coefficients can be entered with the keystroke Ctrl-i b.
Parameter strokesSome structures require parameters. If you want to create a vector you need to specify the dimension of the vector. If you want to create a matrix you need to specify the number of rows and columns. This can be accomplished using parameter strokes.
Note that you get a green flag over the equation operator to indicate incompatibility between the left and the right side for the last two equations until you open the context drawer with Command-Shift-C and explicitly set suitable identifier classes for A and B.
You can efficiently set an identifier class for a complete range of identifiers as shown below.
FunctionsNo special stokes are required for entering functions. When you type letters in succession Cassiopeia usually assumes the multiplication of identifiers.

Research Interests
Our laboratory's research interests lie in four areas:
- antigen presentation by MHC I and MHC II molecules,
- immune response to cancer,
- viral immunity, and
- autoimmunity.
Our pursuit of these areas is linked to a key set of observations made by our laboratory over the past 20 years. These observations are:
- Heat shock proteins (HSP) isolated from cells are always associated with a broad array of peptides. These peptides are derived from the proteins present in the cell and together, the HSP-associated peptide profile represents the total protein/peptide repertoire of a cell including the antigenic repertoire.
- The HSP-peptide complexes, whether isolated from cells, or reconstituted in vitro, are potent immunogens against the peptides and cells presenting those peptides. The immune response elicited by such complexes is heavily skewed towards a cellular T cell response.
- HSPs have remarkable immunomodulatory properties which derive from their interaction with macrophage and dendritic cells through a receptor, identified by us as CD91. Our laboratory has used these observations to explore new key aspects of antigen presentation and to develop innovative approaches for therapy of cancer, infections and autoimmune disorders. It is our view that the HSP-peptide interaction is an evolutionary precursor to the MHC-peptide interaction and lies at the center of a wide array of immunological phenomena.
Lab Rotation Projects
The following constitutes most of what we do. Students are encouraged to create rotation projects out of any of these areas.
- We study antigen presentation and cross-priming. We have uncovered a key role of heat shock proteins, the most highly conserved and abundant proteins in living systems, in both of these phenomena, which are central to immunology.
- Our studies with heat shock proteins have lead to novel approaches to immunotherapy of cancers and infectious diseases, which are in Phase 3 clinical trials in over 200 hospitals worldwide.
- We have also shown heat shock proteins to elicit regulatory CD4+ T cells; the mechanism of this phenomenon as well as its application to therapy of autoimmune diseases are of continuing interest to us.
- This laboratory has a new-found interest in neuro-immunology. We do not have much of a track record in this area, as we just published our first paper in it. Our interest is driven by the many observations that demonstrate a clear link between the nervous and the immune systems. We aim to explore those links through new phenomena and their mechanisms at the molecular, cellular and organismal levels.

This Years Top New Gadgets: Live Previews from CES 2011
The annual Consumer Electronics Show is a sort of battle royal of gadgets, with all the top companies jockeying for buzz. Here are the top tablets, cameras, car systems, and robots, live as they are unveiled on the CES show floor. Well be scouring the show floor all week, so check back as we update this list.
By The Editors
Sony 3D Handycam
Most consumer 3D camcorders sacrifice resolution in order to pull off their 3D trickery. This one uses two HD lenses, both working at a full 1080p resolution, to produce what Sony claims is the "first true HD" consumer 3D camera. And the playback LCD screen? It's one of a growing number found on consumer devices that don't need glasses to play 3D footage.

I first learned how to sew in my teens, and have been sewing off and on since then. I had a brief hiatus in my early 20's and resumed sewing more frequently with the advent of my 2nd child, and a new sewing machine. About 2 1/2 years ago, I was introduced to some of independent pattern companies (Sewing Workshop, Green Pepper) and have not looked back since.
Most of my sewing projects these days consist of clothes for myself and son, and a few home-dec projects. Yes, I AM a fabricaholic -- don't even ask! I also knit, and the same lust for fabrics sadly seems to transfer to a lust for yarn.This is my web page, showing some of the sewing projects I have completed. Images are sorted by Pattern company, with some of the newest FPs shown here.
Click on the thumbnails and links in the following pages for a larger view.
The print used in the background is a chintz entitled "Brother Rabbit" designed by William Morris in 1882. This fabric was designed as a tribute to the Uncle Remus books, first published in 1881, and a favourite of the Morris family.
What's New?
Sew 2908
View B panties made out of stretch satin
|The underwear binge continues! This pattern contains a series of basic panty patterns. This is the bikini style made in a stretch satin. Waist and leg edges are finished in pink lingerie elastic. For a close-up of the waist finish see here.
|This is a pair of shorts just made for DS out of some nylon that I got for summer -- the basic pattern has 1 pleat in front, pockets and a mock fly front. For this version, I omitted all of the cargo pockets, and created a cut-on waistband. For a detail of the waist area, see here.
Sew 3167
Boy cut underwear in beige cotton/lycra
|Ok, I finally decided to make underwear! After seeing a number of reviews on PatternReview, and going and shopping for underwear and getting sticker-shock, I pulled out some remnants of cotton/lycra and decided to try a boy-cut style. I have a few new pants with a lower waistline, and this style seemed to fit the bill. I made 2 pairs, and tested out a few alternatives to the pattern. On the beige pair, I serged, turned and zigzagged the legs -- no elastic. The fabric is pretty stretchy, and the RTW versions I have had no elastic on the legs. For the other pair, I used clear elastic, serged to the edge, turned and secured with a multiple zigzag. I don't know that I prefer one over the other -- they are just different.
Vogue 7607
Linen/rayon blend
|This is a modification of View B of Vogue 7607 Views A/B. I wanted to make a bias cut skirt, with the stability of a yoke at the top, and thought the drape of this pattern would work quite well. I had already worked out fitting issues with previous unaltered versions of this pattern. I used the back pattern piece and copied it for the front, evening out the hemline. This version is made up in a linen/rayon blend with a black/white floral print. For a closeup of the yoke, see here.

Manny Pacquiao scored a unanimous decision win over Timothy Bradley to regain the WBO welterweight title and avenge a highly controversial loss to the American in June 2012.
Two judges scored the fight 116-112 for Pacquiao, while a third saw it as a 118-110 win for the Filipino. In their previous fight, Bradley was awarded a split decision victory that many observers felt Pacquiao had won clearly.
"He threw a lot of punches and I didn't want to be careless," said Pacquiao. "In the second half of the fight, I listened to my corner and they told me to work on the timing of my punches."
Bradley said he had been going for the knockout.
"I tried. I really tried," he said. "I wanted that knockout. Manny's a great fighter, maybe one of the best ever. I lost to one of the best."
It was the first defeat of Bradley's career.

The man accused of planning the failed bomb plot in New York's Times Square has pled guilty to all charges against him.
Appearing in court in New York on Monday Faisal Shahzad, a Pakistan-born US citizen, was defiant saying he wanted to plead guilty "one hundred times over."
Shahzad is facing 10 charges including counts of terrorism and attempting to use a "weapon of mass destruction" in the May 1 bomb attempt outside a theatre in Times Square.
Al Jazeera's Kristin Saloomey, who was in court, said Shahzad showed no remorse for the attempted bombing, telling the court that he considered himself a "Muslim soldier" and saying the attack was meant to avenge the deaths of Muslims killed by US forces.
Our correspondent said prosecutors had not struck a deal with Shahzad in return for his guilty plea.
Some of the charges carry a mandatory life sentence.
"It's a war. I am part of the answer to the US terrorising the Muslim nations and the Muslim people"
Faisal Shahzad,Times Square bomb suspect
During Monday's hearing US District Judge Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum challenged Shahzad repeatedly with questions such as whether he had worried about killing children in the attack.
"One has to understand where I'm coming from," he replied. "I consider myself… a Muslim soldier."
The 30-year-old described his effort to set off the bomb saying he chose the warm Saturday night because it would be crowded with people he could injure or kill.
He said he conspired with the Pakistan Taliban, which provided more than $15,000 to fund his operation.
He explained that he packed his vehicle with three separate bomb components, hoping to set off a fertilizer-fuelled bomb packed in a gun cabinet, a set of propane tanks and gas canisters rigged with fireworks to explode into a fireball.
He also said he was carrying a folding assault rifle for "self-defence".
After parking the SUV Shahzad said he lit a fuse and waited for between two-and-a-half to five minutes for the bomb to go off.
"I was waiting to hear a sound but I didn't hear a sound… So I walked to Grand Central and went home," he said.
According to witness reports, the bomb apparently sputtered, emitting smoke that attracted the attention of a nearby street vendor, who notified police, setting in motion a rapid evacuation of the area.
Shahzad was arrested two days later at New York's JFK airport minutes before the plane he had boarded was about to take off for Dubai.
Questioned by the judge during Monday's one hour hearing Shahzad dismissed the questions about the possibility that children would have died had the bomb gone off by saying the US did not care when children were killed in Muslim countries.
"It's a war. I am part of the answer to the US terrorising the Muslim nations and the Muslim people," he said.
"On behalf of that, I'm revenging the attack. Living in the United States, Americans only care about their people, but they don't care about the people elsewhere in the world when they die."
In a statement released after Monday's hearing, Eric Holderm, the US Attorney General, said Shahzad had "plotted and launched an attack that could have led to serious loss of life, and today the American criminal justice system ensured that he will pay the price for his actions."
Pakistan has arrested at least 11 people since the attempted attack although no one has been formally charged.
In the US three men in Massachusetts and Maine suspected of supplying money toShahzad have been detained on immigration charges and one of the suspects was recently transferred to New York.

Immigrant thoughts on America, Turkish homeland
Sam Pasha Kural cherishes his life as a small business owner and entrepreneur in his adopted country of America, but he casts an eye toward the recent turmoil in his Turkish homeland that he still loves.
Kural came to the United States 23 years ago from the bustling Turkish city of Istanbul. He arrived as a young student at the University of Maryland.
Today, he provides paychecks to 30 employees who make upholstered home furnishings through his Pasha Home Fashions factory in the southwestern corner of High Point.
Kural grew up in Istanbul, the sprawling metropolis roiled during the past two weeks through demonstrations by protestors against the Turkish government.
Initially, the demonstrations focused on plans by the government of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan to tear down Gezi Park in Taksim Square in Istanbul for a development. But the protests have escalated into questions about whether the government of the key U.S. ally that brackets Europe and Asia is drifting uncomfortably toward more sectarian, Islamic rule.
Kural has been in regular contact with relatives in Turkey during the demonstrations. The 43-year-old businessman, who became a U.S. citizen two years ago, said that he worries about the possible sectarian turn of Turkey and what that might mean for its people. As of Thursday afternoon, five people have died and more than 5,000 people have been reported injured in the unrest.
"It's scary," he tells The High Point Enterprise. "I would not want Turkey to become like one of those countries — Iraq, Iran, Syria. A fact is a fact — that doesn't work."
Kural's experience as a newcomer to America reflects the classic immigrant success story. As a student at the University of Maryland, Kural got his start in business as a part-time flea market vendor while taking college classes. As he gained more experience, Kural branched into home furnishings. Today, in addition to his factory, Pasha Home Fashions maintains a showroom in the High Point Market district.
Kural said he's proud of his Turkish roots, but has no regrets about becoming an American citizen. His adopted home is a country he sees with limitless opportunity. He thinks to himself in amazement, every day, that a kid from a modest Istanbul home now runs a small American business.
"The one thing that impressed me in this country — and still impresses me — if you set your mind to do anything, you can do it," Kural said. "It may not happen quickly, but it will eventually happen. It's just a matter of how much you want to do it."

The speed limit in the pitlane is now officially 80 km/h over the course of grand prix weekends after the rule was ratified by the World Motor Sport Council.
The regulation was initially set to be changed for the 2014 season, but the tweak was brought forward after FOM cameraman Paul Allen was injured during a pitlane incident at the German Grand Prix.
A loose wheel from Mark Webber's Red Bull went flying through the air and struck Allen down, leaving him with a broken collarbone and ribs.
The FIA then decided to bring the regulation charge forward and the speed limit has been reduced to 80 km/h (49.7 mph) from the Hungarian Grand Prix onwards as opposed to the 100 km/h (62.1 mph) it was before the incident.
The Australian, Monaco and Singapore Grands Prix, though, will continue to have a stricter speed limit of 60 km/h (37.2 mph) because of the nature of the circuits.
The WMSC also confirmed that all team members who work on a car during pit stops must now wear head protection.

I love it!
Phenomenally and consistently good mascara which lengthens and thickens AND curls without clumping or smearing. I used to be very sniffy about expensive mascaras because
A) there were just too many good drugstore mascaras at a fraction of the price ( Examples: Max Factor's 2000 calories, Rimmel's Extreme Lengths) B) mascaras, for eye health/hygiene reasons, have to be replaced too frequently to warrant ditching the expensive product with lots of it still left inside - difficult to do with a $$$ item, and C) a LOT of majorly expensive department store mascaras are shockingly bad.
My main issue with great inexpensive drugstore mascaras is that I found that they varied tremendously between batches. One batch they would be perfect in consistency, performance and colour...the next batch was too runny, flakey and the colour was off. In summary - it was a perpetual hit or miss scenario. Frustrating.
But not this one. It is consistently good. I wear both black and brown ( a very deep dark brown, depending on my eye make-up it often looks softer when I want to achieve the " why, yes, I am a natural, no-makeup beauty" daytime look). The black is a true black without being "too hard" or unnatural. Highly recommend the product.
5 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is my HG mascara! My mom gave me the sample from one of her Holiday kits from EL, and Ive been hooked ever since. I normally look for more of a lengthening effect in mascara; Im less concerned about volume, and if I can find something that will hold the curl in my long, straight, blonde eyelashes thats golden! I cant say enough great things about this mascara, it holds the curl like a dream, gives great volume and AMAZING length. I love how separated and curled my lashes look with this, and you can layer it over and over without clumping. I rarely have to use a lash comb with this, which is surprising because I expect it to be necessary with most mascara. It is a bit on the expensive side, but thats no problem for me as Ive tried many department store mascaras. I will repurchase forever, and recommend to every woman I know.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I really like this mascara. I prefer more natural looking, fanned out lashes and this mascara gives me that effect. I like the formula. If you're fan of more wet mascaras, then you might not like it, but I personally prefer drier mascaras. I also really liked the brush. It's quite skinny and tapered so it makes it easier to reach lashes in inner and outer corners. This mascara is quite expensive, but it is high end product so $24 isn't as bad as other high end mascaras. Overall it is a great mascara, doesn't clamp up my lashes, doesn't flake, doesn't smudge and does grate job separating and volumizing lashes.
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Oh man this was really a misbuy. It didn't do much for my lashes, yes it made them black but I didn't get any lengthening, volume or curling. The brush was way too big so I could not use it precisely enough.
The price is way too high and my Maybelline mascara works a lot better..
besides the price being very high... amazing mascara! got it as s sample a few years ago and have never switched or found one to match the quality. It curls the lashes and keeps them curled all day. It is very black and does not flake. If it does then it is an indication that it needs to be replaced. Great for sensative eyes. love love love. Always get compliments on my lashes.
I have a travel size of this, used it for my on-the-go makeup bag for a couple of months or so.
The formula has never struck me as especiallt wet or dry, and I love the brush. It takes some adjustment, but the large size also means that it's quick to apply. This "lifts" my lashes (and holds them there all day!) and separates them nicely, while also adding length. It doesn't seem to clump together, doesn't flake either, and the overall effect is of full feathery lashes. My main problem with this as this it sometimes smudges just a bit, but that can easily be helped and it's FAR less smudging than what I've experienced with other mascaras.
I don't really believe in throwing a lot of money at mascaras since many of the are based on the same formulas, but this gives a really beautiful result that's almost worth the 49,11 $ it currently costs in Denmark :)
The last couple of years I strayed from this and was using drugstore brands and I have been struggling with irritation along my lash line on and off. I recently returned to this because of a gift with purchase this Christmas and since I'm using this again I've not had any irritation whatsoever. This doesn't clump or flake off during the day and I haven't experienced smudging on my lower lash line unless I tear up from cold wind or cry. I like the way it applies, smooth and clumpless and then dries for a second coat and no clumps again, so very build-able. So many mascaras I've tried that apply dry and clumpy and then flake off during the day, this is actually pleasant to work with. I am also using Sumptuous Extreme and it has the same qualities, and this review is for both.
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Good mascara, but nothing spectacular. Like the package.
Loreal's mascaras doing same effect for less money.
I am curious how much time will need to dry off, still using my first bottle, less than 2 months.
Edit: Now I would like to enhance my previous rating! After using this mascara already 4 months it is still like new! It didn't dry off, and still it achieves completely same effect.
Other very expensive mascaras (especially Dior) in my case are drying off after 3 months.
good mascara! i'm on my second tube and it's sososo amazing. lengthens my lashes so well and gets me the look that i look for in mascara. this and benefit's they're real makes the best mascara combo ever. gives me the dramatic lashes i want. but i like how the formula is pretty dry, and how the brush is just normal. normal brushes work the best imo. i love this and i'd recommend this to everyone.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!

They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100?

Check out my first computer, back in 1966. It had 32 K of memory in 4 x 8 k modules. Those are the cabinets you cannot see. I am working on the console, and the thing could only do one job at a time. http://barrie.fremont.ca.us/A_Computer_History/mini-1966_NCR-315_MNB.jpg

Wow, brings me back to the old days. My first computer was a TRS-80 model 1, 4K. I was 15 years old, I thought I was supper cool, typing in my BASIC programs from Byte magazine. I still own a TRS-80 model 1 level 1, 4K and a CoCo 2. They were really the fun days, filled with awe, wonder and expectations of the future. In the computer world, the future did not disappoint. BTW anyone have a original black TRS-80 cassette player for sale?. Email me at [email protected]

Yeah, laugh. When in 15 years there are pictures of you with your 12′ PowerBook circulating, you will do your best to keep these offline.
- Jay November 30, 2007 / Reply
15 years for a PowerBook to be classic, I think not. Have you not learned anything from the past. No, it will be much sooner then that. For instance, VHS reigned for what 30 years, The DVD, what 10 years old and is on it's way out for the HD DVD/Blue ray, How long will HD/BR last?..5 years.. Things are a changing my friend, best get with it.
BTW, I did get the point of your post, I just chose to ignore it

I still have many working TRS-80 Model 1,3 & 4's(including a few very rare 4p models) as well as quite a few gray and white Color Computers.(I use the COCOs for home security system use.)
Just because of their age doesn't mean that these old machines have outlived their usefulness. In many way.they are still more rugged and much more reliable than modern computers.
I even have a Model 100 portable(with the bar code reader) that I still use to keep the stores here in Eastern Kentucky honest.Scares the HELL out of most store managers.(GOOD!) You would not believe how many prices are different between what the sticker on the shelf shows and what the bar code says..It keeps the gouging bastards on their toes.

It's all lies. The technological leap known as the computer age and all advances thereof in such a short period of human evolution have been the result of reverse engineering of crashed alien technology! Who's your daddy!?

Cyber Monday Seeks Record as Shoppers Binge
Retailers are expect to attempt to draw in shoppers online by promoting deals in a record number of promotional emails, said Responsys, a California-based marketing software company that assists retailers such as Brooks Brothers, Lands' End, LEGO, and Under Armour (UA).
Promotional emails up sharply
"This year an amazing 81% of major retailers sent at least one promotional email to their subscribers on Black Friday, making it the busiest promotional email day on record for the time being," said Chad White, research director for Responsys. "That's up from 69% last year. Black Friday was also preceded by the busiest Thanksgiving Day ever, with 75% of retailers sending email. That's up from 60% in 2010 and just 45% in 2009."
"With email volume up 19% year-over-year last week, retailers are making email central to their marketing efforts this holiday season," he said.
After seeing this kind of record email volume, White expects promotional email volume to easily set a new all-time record on Cyber Monday, which has been the busiest email-marketing day of the year for the past four consecutive years.One reason for this is the growth of the online business. According to research from Deloitte, online has become the No. 1 shopping destination, with almost half of consumers surveyed saying they will most likely shop for gifts online this holiday season -- an increase of 13% from last year. Still the main concern is what happens next? If you look at the shopping pattern, consumers were certainly being driven by the discounts, begging the question: Will consumer spending dry up when the big bargains of Thanksgiving weekend end? Consumers have been conditioned to expect big discounts over the holiday weekend. Trained to shop deals
"Retailers are really figuring out how to juice it for that entire weekend to get people in the stores and online," said Marshal Cohen, chief industry analyst at market researcher NPD Group. "Basically, the consumers said give us the extra hours and deals and we'll come." But Cohen's worried that the strong Black Friday numbers may overstate the strength of the holiday season. "We groomed the consumer to wait until now to buy a product," he said.

'Machenery Bld" Atlanta Exposition, 1895' is written at the bottom of one photo which shows George E. Ohr presenting his 'Clay Novelties'. The event was known as The Cotton States and International Exposition which opened in Atlanta, Georgia in mid-September 1895. Although Ohr's work was not selected for an award, his eccentric appearance, clay designs and charisma did not go unnoticed. The Atlanta Constituition noted Ohr's presence at the event: "Ohr is the comical genius with the long whiskers who makes all sorts of pottery in Machinery Hall, where he is always surrounded by an admiring crowd."(The Biloxi Daily Herald, Jan. 4th, 1896, p.8)
The 'Clay Novelties' Ohr would have been creating at the Atlanta Exposition would have included typical folk pottery offerings such as the log cabin inkwell or the scatological gags like the chamber pot. At his stall Ohr would have also been demonstrating how he created his craft and exhibited some of his prized art wares.
Self-proclaimed 'Mad Potter of Biloxi', George E. Ohr fashioned himself a persona to match his remarkably surreal pottery creations. He was the son of German immigrants from Alsace-Lorraine. Ohr's earliest work was conventionally grounded in the tradition of Southern folk pottery.
His art wares, which he declared "completely unique, no two alike", did not provide a reliable income – although this was because he had trouble parting with his "mud babies". Instead, the primary source of his income came from the sale of functional wares such as his pitchers, mugs, bowls, flower pots and chimney pots.
In 1894 a fire roared through the town of Biloxi and destroyed Ohr's Biloxi Art Pottery. This event changed the Mad Potter's approach to his work. Although he still produced functional wares to provide a steady income, his artwork came forward in leaps and bounds. It has been noted that his creations, post-fire, show tremendous energy and fluidity.
By 1908, the struggle to achieve recognition for his art wares was becoming a strain to Ohr. In 1910 he bequeathed the pottery building to his sons and the business was turned into the Ohr Boys' Auto Repairing Shop. It is estimated Ohr packed up and stored between 7000-10,000 "mud babies" in his attic. Although he taught and demonstrated throwing, there is no evidence Ohr created any pots after 1908 – however, he did continue to play his role as The Mad Potter of Biloxi. George E. Ohr died of cancer in 1918.
Noted by many – including himself – to be ahead of his time, Ohr stated: "When I am gone, my work will be praised, honoured, and cherished. It will come."

Current Articles
By Preston Cave
-- During the summer of 2008, I received a call from a good friend, Morris Reece, who had moved to Greensboro to be closer to his workplace. He said he was going to be able to hunt his stand close to my house only around Thanksgiving. Otherwise, I was free to hunt from it.
Morris' box stand was erected near the Yadkin River bottoms that were planted in corn and soybeans. It overlooked a cut cornfield on the east end of the bottoms.
In September, I started remodeling his old box. The following month, I started seeing large rubs and scrapes in the vicinity, which primed my pump for muzzleloader season.
On opening morning, I had to work at Alliance Display. I saw two fawns that evening.
On Nov. 17 at 3:30 p.m., I picked up my stepson, Christian Jester, from East Bend Elementary on my way home from work. We rushed home to put on camo, and then we headed for the river. I had some estrous doe lure with me and showed Christian how to lay a scent trail with it.
We hung the drag rag on a corn stalk at the edge of the field and settled in the box stand about 4:15.
Whenever I'm in a stand, I always daydream of past hunts while waiting on deer to show. My daughter is now 11. She has taken six deer – her first at age 7. Christian is 8 and got his first deer in 2007. When Ashlyn was 6, she went hunting with me in a ground blind and, while she was playing with her Barbie dolls at my feet, I took a 120-class buck with my bow.
We have most all our hunts on video.
My daydreaming didn't last long that day because deer started showing up early. We saw two does and a spike about 4:45. I gave my binoculars to Christian for him to get a better look. He'd just had handed them back when I looked to our left at the east corner of the field to see a buck running straight for us.
It got about 200 yards from the box and stopped. The best I could tell, he was an 8-pointer, and his rack was about as wide as his ears. He then darted in the woods.
Just about that time, three more does stepped out in front of us and were 30 yards downwind of the scent rag. Scanning the field with my binoculars back to our left, I saw a small buck that had came out of the river. He stopped long enough to shake off water, and then ran across the field to pick up the trail of the 8-pointer.
As we waited for the 8-pointer to reappear, I asked Christian to watch the does and to let me know if more came appeared.
The sky glowed reddish orange as the sun set. Christian had watched five does in all come out at the edge of the woods, and then he said, "Preston, here comes another one."
It was a shooter buck!
With a quick look with my binoculars, I got my favorite muzzleloader topped with a Nikon scope out the window. The buck ran out into the field about 50 yards downwind of the doe pee. With its nose in the air, it checked the wind before running toward the does.
One big old doe ran from him, and the chase was on. It ran her all over the cornfield, but the doe had enough of being chased so she quickly rejoined the other gals.
The buck was about 180 yards from us and stood there broadside, not moving a muscle. With steam coming from its nose, it raised its head to check the air. At that point, I got the first good look at the rascal; its head was turned our way.
I guessed it to be a 130-class buck. In this area, that is a very big deer. It was wide; I could tell that for sure.
The crosshairs were steady and high on the buck's chest. I told Christian to cover his ears just before I squeezed the trigger, and I was sure I heard the bullet hit home. The smoke filled the air just outside the stand, and all 11 of the deer ran off in different directions. This made it hard to know which way my buck went.
I thought it headed for the uncut soybean field, but I wasn't 100 percent certain. I was sick when we got to where he'd been standing because there was no sign of a hit. After an hour and a half of looking, I had to get Christian out of the cold air.
I knew the best thing was to return in the daytime.
The next day, I couldn't eat anything because I was too upset. I told Chuck Pinnix what happened. He asked, "Did you have a good rest when you shot?"
"Yes," I answered, "and I heard the bullet hit the deer."
He asked if he could go with me to help find it. When we got to the river bottoms, I told the story to him again, pointed to the soybean field and said, "I think he went that way."
Chuck walked out into the field while I looked for blood or tracks from where most of the deer had entered the soybeans after the shot. Chuck found tracks of a big deer that was running, so I followed them as he doubled back to check the edge of the woods for sign. The tracks were hard to see, at times, but I was not going to give up.
At one point, they turned to the left, so I stopped to decipher the tracks. I looked in that direction and saw antlers rising above the soybeans. I ran closer to get a better look.
There, lying on the ground at my feet, was Mickey Moose! It looked like a Canadian deer. In fact, it was bigger than the 150-class buck I'd shot in Alberta in 2003.
Chuck ran back to see what I was hollering about. He said, "I knew when you said he was a big deer that he would be a good one. But I never expected this."
Yadkin County is not a place known for big deer.
I called my daddy, Eddie Cave, and best friend Avery Haynes before heading to East Bend Hardware to check-in the deer. Both of them and four other people were waiting on me at my house. More folks came by or called later.
Local taxidermist and good friend Vincent Fleming came to cape the buck. We all guessed him to score in the 160s, but Vincent wanted to get the antlers to his shop to actually measure them. Later that evening, he called me with a gross green score of almost 178 inches.
The next day, my wife, Sandy, called me to tell me about a local hunter –Phillip Scott – who had trail camera photos of my deer. He hunts the western end of the bottoms where I shot my buck.
I felt bad that I had shot a deer that this young man was hunting. So I called Phillip and we talked for a long time. He said he hunted about half a mile from me. He was very nice and e-mailed the trail photos.
At the Dixie Deer Classic, it was officially scored at 178 4/8 (netting an even 170), big enough to garner second place at the show.
I want to give special thanks to Morris Reece, Chuck Pinnix and Ryan for their contributions to my hunt. Also thanks to Avery and Kevin Kimmer for taking the photos.
If you only remember one thing about this story, remember that I got a 120-class deer with a bow and a 180-class buck with a muzzleloader … and BOTH times I was hunting with my kids. So take your kids hunting!

Great tent.. very spacious
Member since
i wanted something a little roomier than most 4 man tents seem to be and this delivered. Had plenty of room for a queen size mattress plus 2 dogs and extra space for gear. I really liked the the 2 large vestibules and the it has plenty of mesh for those hot summer camping trips... plus those vents are an added bonus! Also, setup was a snap.

Cramer: Own Apple, Don't Trade It
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - Jim Cramer says be patient, you will likely be able to buy Apple (AAPL) at a lower price.
The earnings miss from Apple last night was not only uncharacteristic of the iPhone maker, but it was unacceptable, says Cramer. Part of the issue was consumers holding off on purchasing a new iPhone until the iPhone 5 comes out, but another part of the problem was that Apple isn't immune to Europe. Cramer says he doesn't like when companies miss earnings by this much and thinks the stock deserves to take a hit.
Cramer points out that when a company misses earnings by the extent Apple did and goes down less than ten percent, it is unusual. While he thinks the stock could go lower from here, he reiterates that he thinks people should own the stock, not trade it.As far as products are concerned, the iPhone is what customers want in the smartphone arena, says Cramer. As Siri is improved the demand for the phone will ramp up. He goes on to say "I think the iPad is going to replace textbooks in the country. The iPad is really game, set, match." -- Written by Lindsey Bell in New York. >To follow the writer on Twitter, go to Lindsey Bell.
