In a color comparison test using a colorimeter, the data showed WaterClear Ultra closely mirrored the behavior of a high-clarity acrylic and demonstrated higher clarity than a commercial-grade polycarbonate sheet. Compared with traditional clear SL materials, which have a green or blue tint, the new resin can produce better-looking prototype lenses or packaging materials. Because of their extraordinary clarity, WaterClear Ultra parts can be used right off the machine in many cases, thus saving finishing time and costs. DSM Somos, www.dsmsomos.com |

Timeout Football: Game of the Week — Hobart at Andrean
By Steve T. Gorches 314-3797 or email@example.com September 19, 2013 10:12PM
Hobart head coach Ryan Turley during the second quarter against West Side at Hobart High School in Hobart, Ind., Friday, August 23, 2013. | Guy Rhodes/For Sun-Times Media
Updated: October 21, 2013 2:21PM
Tradition. It's something the two football programs facing off at 5959 Broadway on Friday night know a lot about.
One of the schools has been trying to get its program back to the winning tradition its fans knew — some might think those fans are obsessed about it — more than 15 years ago.
The other would like to keep building on a tradition that seemingly started around the time the other school's tradition began to fade.
It's Hobart at Andrean. Enough said.
The Northwest Crossroads Conference foes are each 4-0 — it's the first time they have met this late in the season while both are still undefeated. Then again, before the NCC was started in 2007, the two teams met much earlier. For several years it was the season opener. Before that it was the third game of the season. In 1992, both teams were 2-0 before the Brickies won in the midst of their glory years.
Could those glory years be returning? Hobart won a share of the NCC title last year (Andrean was one of the other two sharing that crown) and it's winning games in improbable fashion so far this season.
The Brickies have trailed in every game, from the opener against West Side to being down 14 points in the second half to LaPorte before rallying, then forcing a fumble in overtime to facilitate the victory, to being down multiple times to Griffith, to needing a late comeback against KV.
Those old Brickies fans might think it's nothing like the days of Don Howell because those Hobart teams drove the bus over opponents, then backed it up to make sure they were dead. But those teams also had a squeaker or two during the regular season. The 1996 state runner-up squad lost to Valparaiso 13-10 in Week 2. The 1991 state champs edged Lew Wallace 20-13 in the opener and lost 13-12 to Merrillville, while the 1989 state champs lost to Lew Wallace 19-14 in the opener. Yes, that last team did win 13 straight after that loss with seven of them shutout wins, but it's better to win close games than lose them. And this current Hobart team has learned how to do that.
Coach Ryan Turley, who played on some of those great teams, likes his team's intestinal fortitude.
"Our staff has been happy with how our team has responded in some tough, not-so-ideal situations," he said. "We believe it is a positive trait for a team to have — knowing that they will not quit whatever position they are put in. That's a trait that they will carry for life. However, our goal is not to be in that position. We know we need to play 48 minutes of football to continue to be successful the second half of this season."
And some think the Brickies' luck could run out this week since Andrean remembers last year's 37-28 loss that helped Hobart earn a share of the NCC title.
Yes, the 59ers went on to win a regional title — with a couple close ones similar to Hobart's wins this year. They won 20-19 over Lowell in the regular-season finale, 28-21 over Rensselaer in the sectional final, and let's not forget one of the greatest games in region football history, the 67-66, five-overtime thriller over Lewis Cass in the regional. But that loss to Hobart is the only conference setback for Andrean in the last 13 NCC contests.
Coach Phil Mason is saying the right things.
"We are just trying to focus on ourselves, getting better on special teams, eliminating penalties and executing better on both sides of the ball," he said. "Any NCC game is a big game for us — we want to win (the conference) outright. This is an experienced group and they have big-time goals, so the focus is there."
Blah, blah, blah. You know this is a huge game and whoever wins will do plenty of celebrating on its side of the field. Dare I say, this is the biggest Northwest Indiana football game of the season so far?
Since winning its last sectional title in 1997 — before losing to Griffith in the regional — Hobart has reached a sectional final six times, all losses. In that same time frame, Andrean has won 10 sectional titles, five regionals, three semistates and one state title (2004).
In fact, 1997 could be considered the turning point for both of these programs. It was Howell's second-to-last season with the Brickies, who had six straight years of six wins or less after 1997. It was the year Andrean reached the state final for the first time and the 59ers have been an area power since, with only one season with a losing record — and that was still a successful season in 2008 when they went 6-7, but won a sectional title in Mason's first year as head coach.
This could be another key season for both programs. The Brickies are trying to recapture the old glory while Andrean is looking for one more big postseason run with this group of talented seniors.
It shouldn't be a boring game, that's for sure.

Mintel Beauty Innovation Reveals Key Trend for 2011; Mary Bemis of Organic Spa magazine Explains How to Make Green on Green
Posted: January 7, 2011
page 3 of 4
Bemis: Spa professionals can capitalize on the "Down to Earth" trend by first and foremost doing their homework. Be familiar with the eco-friendly lines that are available, and the varying degrees, or shades of, "green." Learn what other spas are doing to go green. Consumers want to know—and be able to visually see—that the spa they are frequenting cares about them and what they put on their skin, as well as the environment and their community at large. They are looking for transparency like never before. Contrary to what many in the spa industry believe, the consumer is not as necessarily hung up on a product's certifications for what they perceive of as a clean or "free-from" product. They want, as always, results from their skin care, but they also want skin care with a conscience.
Why the trend toward "free-from?" The consumer is confused—there are too many certifications and seals to keep track of from many countries and issued by many companies and nonprofits—and too much greenwashing. According to one report, there are nearly 600 environmental labels worldwide, with 80 of them coming from the United States (this is covering every category from food to fabric to beauty).
www.SkinInc.com: What should spa owners should consider when choosing a retail and back bar line that meets their natural/organic/free-from needs?
Bemis: When it comes to choosing a retail and back bar line that meets spa owners' natural/organic/paraben-free needs, know what kind of a statement you would like to make. What level of green are you? How committed are you to the environment and free-from formulations, and how much do you have to spend?
Read labels. Know exactly why the line you are drawn to is natural, organic or free-from. Make sure that it really is what it claims to be. There are many terrific new free-from and organic lines out there, with wonderful packaging that is great for retail—and many of them have shorter shelf lives. Make sure you research this with any of these lines. Many retail lines are also handmade in smaller batches , so be aware of that, as well. For your back bar, choose a line that suits your client's needs, and that helps define your brand, as you would with any line. Make sure the line offers enough in the way of SKUs and, as always, look for what they may offer in the training and education departments. One of the pluses I've noticed about the natural/organic lines is that they are a bit more creative and have fresher ideas when it comes to creating new treatments and marketing services.

The GUIDE project is developing hand-held computer based tourist GUIDEs for visitors to Lancaster. These GUIDEs are context-sensitive. In other words, they have knowledge of their physical location and their user's preferences. They can use this knowledge to display information and perform services specific to both a user and a location. For example, if a user is interested in history, the GUIDE unit is able to construct a walking tour which takes account of this interest. The unit gives the user directions on how to get from one location to the next. As the user arrives at each destination the unit describes what is being seen from a historical perspective.
The GUIDE project is different to other computer-based tourist projects because the units obtain all of their information via a wireless communications link. This enables the units to support interactive services such as ticket booking or enquiries, communications with other users and with the tourist information service and access to the full resources of the Internet.
This site gives you an overview of the GUIDE system and contact points for further details. We hope you enjoy reading about GUIDE.

Hmm, this sudden burst of prolificacy has me concerned-Uplifters SC, RBoom hit, AFish death and resurrection, success at work, and 2 clambakes within days of each other? Is this a tease or should we grow to expect this? Glad you're experiencing some good smooth strokes-your diiligence is paying off.

States Must Cut Corporate Income Taxes...Or Get Left Behind
House Speaker Michael Madigan recently proposed cutting Illinois' corporate income tax to 3.5 percent, below the 2011 level. A press release from Madigan's office stated the tax cut would save Illinois businesses $500 million to $700 million in Fiscal Year 2014 and up to $1.5 billion in Fiscal Year 2015. In this Research & Commentary, Senior Policy Analyst Matthew Glans argues that while Madigan's corporate income tax cuts would be a step in the right direction, lawmakers could go even further.

Most users report having little idea of whether they use Oracle's Java platform, despite dozens of high profile warnings over the security risks associated with it.
V3's recent security poll showed that when asked whether they would heed security experts' widespread calls by for businesses to turn Java off, an overwhelming majority - 76 percent - said they did not know if they were using Java.
Calls for the platform to be retired came after a dangerous zero-day vulnerability in Java was unearthed earlier in January.
The vulnerability was discovered when Trend Micro researchers spotted the Reveton ransomware Trojan targeting the flaw.
Further servere flaws were also uncovered that were being targeted by the popular Blackhole and Cool exploit kits, which allow criminals to mount automated attacks.
Tellingly, of those that said they were using Java, the majority confirmed they would be turning it off, with 12 percent acknowledging it it's too risky to leave Java enabled all the time.
A further eight percent said turning Java off is not a valid option as the code is too embedded in their systems.
Just one percent of respondents reported that they did not know how to turn off Java.
Alastair has worked as a reporter covering security and mobile issues at V3 since March 2012. Before entering the field of journalism Alastair had worked in numerous industries as both a freelance copy writer and artist.

Yesterday's storms that blew through Maryland did quite a number on my Scotch Broom. It seems to have parted the shrub in the middle and it is now splayed in front of my gate. It doesn't seem to be damaged other than the branches are now severely arced. It was in need of pruning back this year and we were going to cut it back after it finished blooming. Right now it stands about five foot tall...that is when it is standing.
Should I tie it up around the middle to hold it upright? I need help. My husband is ready to dig it out but it is doing so well where it is. It has been there for a few years so it is well established. We just can't get through the gate now. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Feel free to tie it up, then prune later. It might be best to put a stake near it to tie it to, however. |

Same thing has happened to my two Lena's. Although at this point I think it's mostly the weight of the wet, open flowers weighing the brances down. What have been people's experiences in pruning these things? I've read conflicting reports about cutting into old wood. I've been lax in pruning mine (about 3 years old and need it) and am not sure what I'll try. Maybe prune most of the brnaches halfway down int o the "green" wood and cut a few back much further down and hope for the best. Larry |

Hmm.. Mine is only 2 years old and glorious. I had to stake it last year, which is still in place. It's about 3' tall, but wider this year. I had no idea one should prune them! I recall years ago my aunt had one. It flopped over, so she tied it to the fence. It's all good. Mine is 'Garnet' and living up to its name! Yeah! |

Here's a picture from year 2. They've now grown up a bit and the bottom 12-18 inches is old wood and looks leggy. If I had been pruning all along it might have delayed this problem a bit. |

G'Day! Beautiful! Thanks for the link! happy gardening, -vlad |
a great resource for pruning: www.plantamnesty.org. PRUNING BY HABIT II. MOUNDS Look like mounds and are medium-tough plants, found in mass plantings. They have small leaves and supple branches. You usually just want to tidy them up or reduce their size. People like to shear these -- don't you! Examples of mounds are abelias, escallonia, barberries and broom. orange. Locate the longest, most unruly branch. Grab the tip with your left hand. Follow the branch down into the interior of the plant with your right-hand pruners, and snip it off two inches to one foot below the general surface level of your shrub. Cut to a side branch or bud, if possible. These shrubs often benefit from taking out some of the old canes to their base. This opens up and renews the shrub. Any dead wood or weeds should also be removed. |

Arent the flowers beautiful on the broom plant.Mine is blooming now.I liked it for its different look surprise it bloomed |
I think I let my scotch broom get really ill. It looks all dead and dried out. The base of the plant still looks green and when I cut some twigs off it is still green undeneath. do you think I killled it? |
I've had difficulty staking mine, over the last couple of years -- they get buried by the snowplows, and have too many stems for a stake in the center to do much. I think now I'm going to try using three or four stakes, and weaving them with wire or twine. So far the only pruning needed has been removing dead bits. They have grown back well even with significant top damage, as Sally hopefully knows by now... |

same problem as sally, looks dead after a late summer transplant (about 2 feet away from where it was) do they regenerate? |
Hi drtynails, The storm also caused damage to my garden and prompted me to look up alternative plants. I found a surprise, though. I learned that Scotch Broom is actually considered highly invasive in several states. Just a quick look online turned up problems with this plant in WA, CA, OR, WI, and parts of Canada. I think I'm going to remove the 2 plants that I have because it also appears that the plant won't support local insects and it has a skin irritant (saponins) - I'm already allergic to the poison ivy in my yard, I don't want more problems! |

Anna Smashnova: Coming on strong
Of the 16 singles players in Los Angeles, Anna Smashnova has made the biggest improvement to qualify for the season-ending Championships.
Ranked a lowly No.89 a year ago, the 26-year-old Israeli enjoyed a breakthrough season in 2002, breaking into the Top 20 for the first time, having been on the Tour for 12 years.
By reaching a high of No.16, Smashnova became the highest-ever ranked Israeli woman, and her four titles put her behind only Serena (8) and Venus (7) Williams as the most prolific Tour winners in 2002.
Smashnovas took an immediate upswing at the start of the season, winning her first two events at Auckland and Canberra without dropping a set in 10 matches. She then enjoyed her best performances at Tier I events, reaching the Indian Wells quarterfinals, the third round of Miami (defeating world No.7 Justine Henin en route) and then the semis of the German Open.
In Berlin, she scored her career-best win, upsetting world No.3 Kim Clijsters 7-5 in the third set before falling to Serena Williams. She jumped from No.35 to No.21 in the space of a week.
A third title came her way in Vienna, beating defending champion Iroda Tulyaganova in the final and passing the $1 million mark in career earnings.
Despite a relatively quiet US hardcourt swing, Smashnova rebounded with another title in Shanghai, improving her career finals record to six wins and no losses.
Most recently, she reached the quarterfinals in Linz, pushing Daniela Hantuchova to three sets and securing her debut berth in LA. Not bad for someone ranked outside the Top 100 only 15 months ago, but a new outlook and an impressive dedication to her physical conditioning has Smashnova in the best shape and form of her career.

Lost to Serena Williams, 6-2, 6-2
Anna, you had a wonderful year this year. Will that loss cast a shadow on the past year?
ANNA SMASHNOVA: No. I had a great year and the loss today had nothing to do with it. Overall, it's been a great year for me.
Serena is No. 1 in the year and much better than me today. There is nothing I could do today.
Q. During the match, why couldn't you do anything?
ANNA SMASHNOVA: Why? She's No. 1 in the world. She barely lost this year.
Q. Before the match, you told me you would try to play your own match, and did you try to do that?
ANNA SMASHNOVA: Yeah, I tried to do it, but I didn't succeed.
Q. What do you feel the toughest aspect of Serena's game is?
ANNA SMASHNOVA: She has a lot of power, but on top of that, she also used a lot of angles. She makes me run, go back, but also cover the court from left to right and then end to end.
Q. Were you trying to lengthen the points and trying to get into a rhythm? Did you feel your chances would be better the more shots, the more balls, you're getting into play?
ANNA SMASHNOVA: We had a few long rallies, but she won all of them. Even that still didn't help.
Q. Did she attack your second serve?
ANNA SMASHNOVA: Yeah. I knew she was going to do that. That's also her power.
Q. You mean she played you knew she would play aggressively?
ANNA SMASHNOVA: Yeah, that's her game, yes.
Q. Just how powerful is Serena?
ANNA SMASHNOVA: Very. She's No. 1. At least for me, she overpowered me. It's another level.
Q. Anna, you didn't have a winner in this match. Can you remember playing a match without hitting a winner before? Does that show how powerful she is?
ANNA SMASHNOVA: I guess so. Normally my game is not hitting winners, and today it would be, obviously, more difficult for me to hit one. I would probably have to risk so much and hit maybe 50/50 shots, and I didn't want to do that.
Q. Did she have you back on your heels? Did you always think that killer shot was coming?
ANNA SMASHNOVA: I was not thinking that. I was just playing, and the points were just going by themselves.She was trying to win. She was doing everything she could to win.
Q. Anna, you have a great one handed backhand. You don't see a lot of females in the game with that kind of one handed backhand. How hard was that to develop?
ANNA SMASHNOVA: I think it was always my favorite shot. I used to play with two hands when I was younger. At the age of 9, I had to switch to one hand. I taught myself. From what I remember, it's just a very natural shot. I don't remember working on it very much. It just comes natural.
Q. Coming into the match, what was your game plan against Serena?
ANNA SMASHNOVA: Just I wanted to play my game. That's the game plan.
End of FastScripts. . . .

oh. that's what you meant. well, even if Serena did say something she doesn't really mean it the way she says it. Serena has a funny and great personality. I don't think she critizises(sp?) people. She's always critical about herself though.

Silly me, I thought Magic Mike had already explored the comings and goings of Florida's esteemed nightlife professionals! Well color me wrong, because the recently released trailer for Spring Breakers makes Channing and his friends look like trust fund kids summering on The Cape.
I'm talking guns, bad bleach blondes, Caucasian gangsters with corn-rolls-- all this flick needs is some whippids or a Hogan and you'd have The Sunshine State's new official tourism promo video. In fact, we haven't seen this much reppin' for Florida since Timberlake went solo, moved out of Orlando, and began claiming that he was from Memphis.
Soderbergh, you must be extremely jealous of Harmony Korrine. Despite your copious talent, you just couldn't fully capture the essence of hotspots like Tampa or Daytona in March. Yes, your film had jet ski's, strippers, and white guys doing hip-hop dancing, but did it look like a late 90's Hype Williams music video? I think not!
As Spring Breakers demonstrates, a movie cannot truly capture mirth and merriment Florida-style without the signature color and tint of hip-hop's most prolific director. Luckily, I think they were going for a white trash version of Belly.
Though clearly, Spring Breakers doesn't just have any white trash, it has breakthrough indie icon, Mr. James Franco. After becoming the butt of every Hollywood joke for his anemic Oscar hosting gig, he has since dedicated himself to single-handedly examining more aspects of gay culture than Harvey Fierstein. Apparently though, Franco's back and he's ready to fuck some shit up.
Actually, he's got a grill, a Dirty South mentality, and he looks like one of Jesse's crew on Breaking Bad. Though Franco is always entertaining when playing someone completely different from his actual self. Remember Pineapple Express? Sidebar- Am I the only one psyched for Oz, the Great and Powerful?
As for this pic, who knows? We are talking Harmony Korrine, here. I'm not saying that the director of Spring Breakers has built a career based on cheap shocks. Kids was an interesting, game-changing film. I just think that anyone who has such a pessimistic view of teenagers and how they behave should be teaching Catholic High School, not constantly making films about them.
And it's with this faith in the overwhelmingly decent spirit of teenagers, that Korrine examines how sluts in Florida get sluttier while robbing shit, and doing drugs, in slutty bikinis. Though, if this directing effort is half as entertaining as his Letterman interviews throughout the years, we got ourselves a profitable picture here!
Clearly, Harmony means business. In an effort to avoid too much distracting authenticity, no Hogan nor member of Dog the bounty Hunter's family was cast in the film. Instead, Selena Gomez, Pretty Little Liars- Ashley Benson, and of course, the original Little Girl Lost of the High School Musical crowd, Vanessa Hudgens, show you that they are grown-up women who can flash a little bush and nip like any serious actress.
Though at least now, I have a point of reference for these girls that's a bit manlier. I must say, referring to Selena as Mrs. Beiber and Hudgens as the girl from Beastly wasn't exactly helping my street cred. I honestly wish all the actresses well, it's just funny that in Hollywood, good acting doesn't prove one's ability to be an adult film star as much as nudity and a serious drug scene.
Needless to say, Spring Breakers looks to be at best, a fun and silly raunch-fest set in the Sunshine State, and at worst an over-earnest glimpse into "true life", full of cringe-worthy just-for-shock-value moments and a lot of bad teeth! I'm hoping for Wild Things, but preparing myself for Bully.
P.S. Nice to see you, Gucci Mane! Don't think I've heard from you since the remix with Mariah. Then again, I also referenced the movie, Beastly just minutes ago so I'm not exactly the demographic you've been desperate to reach.

HOUSTON, November 8, 2013 - Despite the fact that Ken Cuccenilli, a principled conservative, had his hopes of becoming the next governor of Virginia dashed by the Republican establishment while Chris Christie, the RINO du jour waltzed to an easy landslide victory in deep blue New Jersey, there is more reason for encouragement for constitutionalists than the mainstream media would have the public believe. The following four facts should provide serious motivation for constitutionalists going into 2014 and 2016.
SEE RELATED: Republican establishment sabotages Ken Cuccinelli in Virginia
1. Moderate Chris Christie is NOT a strong national candidate.
Following Christie's nearly 20 point victory on Tuesday the national media have all but coronated him as the 2016 Republican nominee for president. The argument is that if Christie can win with such a wide margin in deep blue New Jersey, he will be able to beat Democrats in any state. Additionally, Democrat and Republican pundits, despite all of the evidence to the contrary, continue to spout the lie that Republicans must nominate a moderate in order to win. These assertions overlook some very critical facts, however.
SEE RELATED: GOP civil war: The Battle of Virginia
First, there is absolutely no evidence that a moderate Republican can win a national election, as the losses of Bob Dole, John McCain, and Mitt "the only one who can win" Romney clearly indicate. Ronald Reagan, the last Republican who was truly a conservative to run for president, won 44 states in 1980 and 49 states in 1984 (losing Minnesota by less than 3,000 votes). The echo chamber from the mainstream media also told him he could never win.
Secondly, on a day that Chris Christie won over 60% of the vote in New Jersey, an exit poll still showed him losing to Hillary Clinton in a prospective matchup for President by a total of 6 points, 49-43. When considering nominating Christie for president, this is the most critical number from the entire night.
2. Conservatives and Tea Partiers do have universal appeal
One of the major themes the media and the Republican establishment are constantly repeating is that Tea Party candidates and constitutionalists cannot win the all-important independent vote, and that is why the GOP needs to nominate a moderate. Ken Cuccenilli, whom Democrats branded as an extremist in an avalanche of attack ads leading up to the election won independents by a margin of 9 points, 48-39.
3. There is no denying it or hiding it anymore; The GOP establishment is dead set on destroying the Tea Party and the conservative movement at any and all costs.
According to the Washington Post, Cuccenilli's campaign manager told them that the national party did not donate one penny after October 1st, the same day that the incredible failure that is healthcare.gov rolled out. This was an absolutely critical time in the election, in an election that Cuccenilli would eventually lose by about 50,000 votes, with 37% of total turnout. In his concession speech Cuccinelli said that his campaign was outspent 15 to 1, despite Cuccenilli matching the same fundraising total that moderate Republican candidate and victor, Bob McDonnell, raised in his 2009 bid for governor.
The national party spent 9 million dollars to support Bob McDonnell in his successful bid for governor of Virginia in 2009, which he won by 17%. They spent less than 3 million in this race. The Chamber of Commerce spent over one million dollars to support Bob McDonnell in 2009 and did not spend a dime in support of Cuccinelli. Governor McDonnell's Lieutenant Governor, Bill Bolling, refused to endorse Cuccenilli and repeatedly badmouthed him to the press. Chris Christie refused to campaign for him, even when his victory was a certainty. George Will, establishment GOP mouthpiece and columnist for the Washington Post, wrote an article titled "Cuccenelli is far from the best choice for Virginia," and endorsed the third party candidate, who had no chance at victory. There was a concerted effort on the part of the GOP establishment to make sure the Tea Party did not get credit for this victory, even if that meant delivering a critical swing state to the Democrats.
4. Obamacare will be an albatross around the neck of every Democrat come 2014 and 2016.
Starting on October 1, Obamacare was rolled out. The exchanges still do not work, the website is a national joke, and tens of millions of Americans are getting cancellation notices from their insurance companies. These facts completely changed the trajectory of the Virginia governor's race. In just over thirty days Cuccenillli made up close to ten points in the polls. That is unbelievable, considering the national party did not donate one penny from October 1 on, and according to him, he was outspent 15-to-1 in the final month.
Cuccenilli was the first attorney general to file suit against Obamacare. If the GOP had won this race, it would've been seen as a referendum on Obamacare and scared the daylights out of the Democrats up for re-election in red states next year. Unfortunately, the GOP establishment made it clear that their first and foremost priority is to destroy the conservative movement.
The fact that this is now out in the open, before the establishment can sucker punch the conservative movement in the midterm elections next year will guarantee that the conservative movement will be ready for this sabotage in the future.
The ruling class in both parties hoping to write the Tea Party's obituary following these elections will not be very happy come 2014 and beyond. Democrats and their RINO partners expected a MUCH larger victory for the Democrat in Virginia, especially with the third party candidate siphoning off 7% of Cuccenilli's vote, and the national GOP starving Cuccenilli for money at the time that could've easily swayed the race. All things considered, Cuccenilli lost by a mere 3.5%.
The message to take from these elections, regardless of what the mainstream media professes, is that the Tea Party is as strong as ever and is not going away. The GOP establishment should not take the conservative vote for granted. To think that conservatives will back moderate, establishment candidates in the future when conservative candidates get trashed by the establishment is very foolish. The establishment should be very careful trashing and sabotaging conservatives in the future – or risk going the way of the Whigs.

Maybe because she never settled down herself, Jane Austen created some mighty fine specimens for all of us to drool over – Fitzwilliam Darcy, George Wickham, and Frederick Wentworth to name a few. (If you're not familiar with these names, you aren't watching Masterpiece's The Complete Jane Austen Sunday nights on PBS.) Now you can find out what their online dating profile might have looked like back in the day and pick your Austen man at PBS.org. After 40,010 votes, Mr. Darcy is currently on top.

NAMI Recognizes America's Exemplary Psychiatrists
For Immediate Release: May 8, 2001
Contact: Anne-Marie Chace
Arlington, VA--The National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI) today honored 35 psychiatrists with its 2001 NAMI Exemplary Psychiatrists Awards during the annual meeting of the American Psychiatric Association in New Orleans. The awards recognize substantial contributions in clinical care, public education, and advocacy at the national, state or local levels.
"NAMI is pleased to honor these extraordinary medical professionals who have gone the extra mile in helping people with severe mental illnesses and their families," said NAMI Executive Director Richard Birkel.

Project Masiluleke, or Project M for short, has been a cause celebre in several design subfields since its primary announcement last October. The project, which centers on text messaging to distribute information about HIV/AIDS treatment in deeply afflicted parts of South Africa, has been warmly praised by interaction designers, proponents of socially conscious design, advocates of technological leapfrogging in the developing world, and much of the design and innovation press as well (like Fast Company...and us).
If there were any concerns that this was a well-meaning but impractical solution that succeeded better in the minds of designers than the hands of users, though, they can be confidently put to rest, as this special report on health care and technology in April 16th's Economist points out.
The article, aimed at as pragmatic an audience as any publication on earth, introduces the project with a touch of skepticism, observing that "modern wizardry like molecular diagnostics and digital medical records seem irrelevant" in much of the developing world, and describing initial doubts about the effectiveness of high-tech to improve lives in the poor places of the world, by none other than Bill Gates.
It then proceeds to note that "the response has been spectacular," and outlines numerous related health care projects in Sub-Saharan Africa and elsewhere that are succeeding in providing services to populations that had formerly been written off as unreachable:
The most promising applications of mHealth for now are public-health messaging, stitching together smart medical grids, extending the reach of scarce health workers and establishing surveillance networks for infectious diseases. The use of the technology is spreading: a recent report funded by the UN Foundation and the Vodafone Foundation, two charities, documented more than four dozen projects across the developing world.
It's truly wonderful to see such an idea catch on and gain traction -- one that's both clever and full of conscience -- but a little bit of a bummer that the design expertise that's made it so successful gets such short mention. Project M is introduced as a co-operative project between South African outreach program iTeach, mobile carrier MTN, and "American academics and several other innovative groups." Careful followers of the project will recognize that frogdesign is one of those "innovative groups," and the extensive effort the consultancy has put into the structure of the project and some of its future extensions (like a locally appropriate testing kit, which the article does mention) has been key.
Still, we're not complaining. In a design environment where the most awarded products rarely make an impact on more than a handful of enthusiasts, a project with this kind of global reach and positive influence is worth a little short shrift.
For a longer collection of news and articles on Project M, check out frogdesign's page on the project here.

Wow. I have not been here for a long time.
I wanted to stop in and give a big HELLO! to everyone here. I am sorry for "dropping out of the scene", but this last year was a doosy. Between my hubby getting sick and needing surgery , the drought tore threw my garden, destroyed everything, I was not sure I was going to even continue gardening. Too heart breaking! But my seed catalogs came in and I have that ole' familiar "itch" to get out there and get muddy! I hope everyone is well and we are all planning big gardens this year! Regards,

Ezz, good to hear from you. I think most of us have been kicked around by the hot dry summer of 2011. Some of us are dealing with health issues also, it may be because we are getting older. I am getting the itch also. I told myself I was cutting back last year and turning some of the growing area into flower beds. As it turned out I lied to myself again. I received some beautiful onions today and have been sifting compost to build a new growing area for onions and herbs. I hope we all have a better year in 2012. Larry. |
Welcome Back, Ezz. I'm hoping the weather will be kinder to all of us in 2012. It's that time of the year---when the seed catalogs are tempting us with their photos and descriptons, and we're far enough removed from summer's heat that we're starting to forget how awful it truly was. I've been going through my seed boxes today and pulling out varieties for this year's garden. Doing this keeps me from looking at catalogs and ordering flower, herb and veggie varieties I already have. Larry, I am not crazy about getting older, but it sure beats the alternative. Dawn |

I fear I am having to buy all new seeds this year, since I don't know for sure what was the weather, the seed, my doing, for all the failure last year. I know I didn't store them in the freezer and some are two year old packs! So...I am looking in my "seed box" as well and wondering. ahhhh....I it is good to be home! Thanks for the warm welcome! |

Ezzirah - I plant lots of two year old seeds and they do fine. Welcome back. |
Ezz, Like Carol, I plant "old" seeds all the time and they grow just fine, especially when they're only 2 or 3 years old. As the seeds approach the 5-7 year mark, you often see a severe drop-off in germination rates. I have, however, had fairly decent germination from seeds as old as ten years old, and that includes seeds not only of veggies but of flowers and herbs as well. So, if the seeds you have are only a couple of years old, they still should have great viabilty as long as they were stored in a cool, dry location, or in a refrigerator or freezer. If they were stored outdoors in a garden shed or other outbuilding, the fluctuations in temperature and humidity likely would affect their viability in a negative way. When I am sowing seeds that are older than about 3 years in age, I just sow more of them to make up for the fact that a lower percentage likely will germinate. Dawn |

yeah, they were in a cool dry place. This is good to know! YAY! |

There's a secret organization in London, England created to defend the Queen and country from monsters of all sorts. Enter Hellsing, an underground militarised agency, with the experience, know-how, and...er....equipment to handle the problems that arise when vampires and ghouls clamber forth from the darkness. So what exactly is this "equipment"? Centuries old, cultivated by generations of tireless study and unsurpassable refinement - We present unto you, the vampire, Alucard! Packing more pistol than any human can handle, the Hellsing Organization's superior agent stands secular and all-powerful in the night.
And nothing he shoots ever gets back up again ...Or so we thought.
Kohta Hirano's Hellsing manga spans ten action-packed novels and was first published by Shounen Gahousha in their Monthly Young King OURs Serial Manga Magazine in 1997. The novels then were presented to American audiences by Dark Horse Manga and Digital Manga Publishing in December of 2003.
The following sections housed herein seek to explore each volume of the manga, it's creator and its inspired origins. Please feel free to navigate the below links to learn more!

A wildly successful alternative to traditional day spas?its more than 300 locations blanket 36 states and half a dozen countries?Planet Beach Contempo Spa is a futuristic relaxation station where state-of-the-art machines administer all the spa and tanning services. These friendly automatons sometimes replace familiar treatments, as in the Luminous facial, a light-based service that delivers blemish-busting results similar to those of a conventional facial. But other equipment maps out new spa territory entirely: the hydro-derma fusion chamber moisturizes the whole body with nutrient-rich steam in order to offset the effects of a dry climate or a rear-end collision with a salt truck. Other machines whiten teeth, spray tan skin, and massage muscles.
Planet Beach operates on a gym-style membership system, meaning that members purchase packages or pay flat monthly rates. As members spend more time at the spa, they get to know the helpful assistants who are always on hand to demonstrate how to use the equipment without activating its ability to cry.
Wrapped in Wellness' friendly staff helps bodies take on more toned and contoured forms through client-oriented services, organic products, and wraps that help clients lose up to 30 inches in one hour. Inside the tranquil wellness center, skilled technicians cocoon bodies in sundry wraps, which help bodies detoxify, tighten, and tone with all-natural mineral solutions that ready selves for red carpets, green screens, and awkward encounters with purple-clad paparazzi. In addition to body wraps and weight-loss treatments, the staff also darkens hides with airbrush tanning and enhances faces' youthful glow with rejuvenating facials. Calming décor envelops clients with soothing green and purple tones accented with touches of dark wood. Within private treatment rooms, rich curtains cascade to the floor as clients nestle into cushy furniture set aglow by warm lighting and left-behind glow sticks
The staff at Darque Tan learned the science of tanning through Smart Tan certification, which they rely on to design efficient, safe regimes for each client's skin type. Five levels of PCTan beds and booths can bronze skin with as few as 12 minutes of UV exposure while enveloping skin in cooling mist. Automated airbrush tanning in VersaSpa or Mystic Tan booths create even, natural-looking color that masks scars and stretch marks. Darque Tan's pursuit of convenience is further exemplified with business hours that span seven days a week, a minimum of 20 beds per location, and rec rooms where kids can read and watch TV. A crew of professional cleaners details each of the facilities according to a rigorous 50-point inspection and tips gleaned from reading Mr. Clean's LiveJournal.
The readers of Fort Worth Weekly didn't say why they named Perfect Touch the Best Spa of 2013, but it's not hard to hazard a guess?or a dozen. Take the warm, private treatment rooms and soft music that backdrop Swedish massages and hot-stone therapy, for instance, or the lineup of Dermalogica products that skin specialists combine into custom facial treatments. There's also a more technological side to the spa: a cosmetic laser system that tightens the skin, and a Cynosure TriActive system that helps minimize the appearance of cellulite.
An entire second facet of Perfect Glow?Perfect Touch?focuses solely on tanning. UV beds use ultra-pressure lamps for quicker tans, and airbrush technicians evenly mist the skin with vegan, organic, and paraben-free solutions that, like the newest breeds of dogs, emit a subtle raspberry-almond fragrance when wet.
Open seven days a week, Baja Sun helps pigment-challenged patrons to achieve a natural bronze hue with an array of tanning services and brand-name lotions. The salon's private treatment rooms house 20 Soltron UV beds divided into six levels of intensity to steadily draw out deeper hues. Mystic Tan sessions give time-crunched tanners a safe, UV–free glow in 90 seconds, ideal for patrons looking for a natural looking tan that don't have the time to spend all day in a spa. Tanners can choose from Original or Premium tanning cartridges for lighter or darker results, both of which have the option of a clear solution, which darkens gradually, or a bronzer solution, which glazes skin with an instant tropical punch.
Airbrush units sibilantly hiss and UV lights hum gently. Patrons, including several former pageant winners, wander among a range of beds, which dispatch bronzing beams to standing or horizontal guests. The electrically hued units have names like ETS Velocity and Sportarredo Extasy, all of them resembling something from a science-fiction film or a supercomputer?s yearbook. Xotic provides protective eyewear, and a range of beds in different levels allows patrons to customize their coloration. Specialists consult in private rooms, helping select the correct shade of spray-tan solution, which dries instantly and is almost completely odorless.
