Volume 1 Issue 2 ISSN: 2210-6863 eISSN: 2210-6863
In this paper we present two image processing techniques allowing improving the recognition quality of remote optically recorded voice signals (the first technique) and of images taken under varied illumination conditions (the second technique).
Regarding the first approach dealing with the processing of voice signals that were recorded by a patented optical technology, we present a concept that improves the quality of the recording and the classification of the characteristics of the recording while the proposed signal processing operations are applied over the spectrogram of the optically recorded signals.
Regarding the second approach dealing with the illumination varied conditions, we present a new technique based upon combination between spectral (of colors) manipulation called the HSV and spatial transformation called the K-factor that is applied over the HSV components. Such manipulation allows composing image which is both insensitive to illumination and contains the significant spatial details of the originally imaged object.

Banky W's surprise birthday party on Tuesday March 27, 2012 at The Grotto in Victoria Island, Lagos brought out a large number of A- list entertainers.
With so much love from fans on twitter, facebook and elsewhere, and a guest list that included Akon, Psquare, MI, Tiwa Savage, Kel, Ini Edo, Skales, Toolz and others, the R&B giant and EME Chairman had a time of his life!
"Even when I gbagaun, I don't get half as many mentions as this ooh…. Thank you so much for the birthday wishes… God bless" the singer said to his fans on twitter, earlier in the day.
Before The Grotto surprise party put together by his friends, Banky told journalists in Lagos he plans to dedicate more of his time to "helping young talents grow and do all I can to make the journey easier for talented young people out there trying to build a career in music".
"As I grow older, it's becoming very important for me to play my little part in developing this industry; to play my own role in empowering our youths, and in extension, the nation. I'll be happy if I can help more and more upcoming talents escape the hurdles I passed through while coming up. Everyone sees Banky W, Wizkid, 2face, Psquare or D'banj – but people forget that for each one of us that makes it, there are dozens others who fell by the way side; most of them could have made it if only they got more support. I made it to where I am because of the love and support from the media, my label, fans, promoters and my family. I think it's my responsibility, to make sure I support those coming behind. That's what I've done with Wizkid. We're working on Skales now, and many more are on the way".
Banky W's protégé WizKid was missing in action from his mentor's "Lagos party", but he had a good reason- he was away in America having series of sit downs and focused discussions with prominent African-Americans and promoters ahead of the forthcoming EME tour. "Happy Birthday to my big bro, Banky W. God bless you more Wizkid wrote in a Twitter shout out to Mr W.
Banky W's third Nigerian album titled R&BW is expected later this year.

Lincoln, Nebraska, Dec 03, 2013 -- Four Columbus banks were honored today as Top 10 Lenders in Fiscal Year 2013 for USDA Rural Development's Guaranteed Rural Housing (GRH) loan program. Leading all lenders in the state was Charter West National Bank in Columbus with the Top Lender Award in Fiscal Year. Charter West provided nearly $17.3 million for 180 home loans through this program, which fostered rural homeownership in the state, according to Maxine Moul, Nebraska State Director for USDA Rural Development.
Pinnacle Bank provided more than $8.5 million for 84 home loans through this program, which fostered rural homeownership in the state, according to Maxine Moul, Nebraska State Director for USDA Rural Development. Pinnacle Bank was second only to Charter West National Bank, also of Columbus, among the Top 10 lenders this year.
A third Columbus bank, BankFirst ranked sixth in the state, with nearly $4.8 million in loans to 49 borrowers. First National Bank & Trust Company in Columbus provide nearly $4.3 million in loans to 43 borrowers.
This is a record year for USDA Rural Development housing programs in Nebraska with 74 approved lenders participating in Fiscal Year 2013. More than $124.2 million assisted 1,241rural Nebraska households to achieve homeownership. Demand for the USDA Guaranteed Rural Housing homeownership program continues to be strong in Fiscal Year 2014.
Moul said, "We appreciate the Nebraska approved lenders, our partners, who make this program such a success. We anticipate another active year and we look forward to helping more rural Nebraskans to achieve the dream of homeownership. I wish to thank Charter West National Bank, Pinnacle Bank, BankFirst and First National Bank & Trust for their dedication in using the program."
With guaranteed financing, private lending institutions provide the loans which are guaranteed by the federal government. The program features no down payment to eligible income households and no maximum mortgage limits. Dwellings must be located in a rural community with a population of up to 20,000. The communities of Norfolk and Columbus also remain eligible through at least January 15, 2014, when the current Continuing Resolution for the federal budget expires.
Existing guaranteed or direct loan borrowers may refinance their home loans under the GRH loan program to obtain a possible lower interest rate.

Find the correct equipment. Our extensive range of ergonomic keyboards and mice, ergonomic furniture, high visibility keyboards and support software are designed to provide equal access for all.
Send an e-mail, type a short letter, surf the net. . . . the list of computer activities that have become an integral part of modern life, are endless. In an age where we are driven by technology, both our social and working lives have become very much affected by the use of computers but what if keyboarding is a problem?
For example; people who have Tremor can find using a computer an exasperating task, filled with obstacles and challenges.
Tremor is a normal phenomenon, which affects absolutely everyone, so everyone shakes, it's just that some do more than others. Although there are many diagnoses of Tremor, no cure has yet been found so finding ways to overcome the challenges that Tremor presents is key to improving the quality of life.
Overcoming the Challenge For Cyril Gleeson who has Essential Tremor of the hands, using a regular mouse and keyboard, meant that reading and sending e-mails was a tricky and frustrating process. Keeping in contact with his family who live abroad by email was definitely not the easy process that it is for most people.
"The best birthday present I have ever received!"
It was on his birthday last year that his problem was solved. Prior to his birthday, Cyril had already chanced upon a possible solution to his problem. "My shaky fingers kept hitting between two keys and I spent a lot of time backtracking to eliminate errors."
The solution Cyril had found was a special keyboard on the Keytools Website, www.keytools.co.uk. With its design and technology, the BigKeys seemed like the ideal solution! However, much to Cyril's surprise, his son was against him purchasing the keyboard. Cyril says, "As he has a PhD in computer science I usually give way to his expertise, but I knew that the keyboard would solve my problem. So I persisted in my question as to why I should not purchase it. Eventually, he said that the keyboard had already been purchased by all of them for my 77th birthday!"
This clever keyboard design is called BigKeys, an excellent choice for people with hand-tremors and ideal for many other disabilities too. Of course, every person is unique, which is why the BigKeys keyboards come in 18 different choices. Users can choose their preferred layout and colour scheme, and comprising just 60 keys, with all the functionality of the regular 102 keys, striking the right one is that much easier!

Residents evacuated from Minerva nursing home fire
MINERVA, Ohio - More than 30 residents of a northeast Ohio nursing home were evacuated safely when an electrical fire sent smoke streaming through a utility room and dining room.
There were no injuries in the Sunday night fire at Minerva Eldercare, southeast of Canton.
Chief Aaron Stoller with the Sandy Creek Fire District says a 2-inch water line broke in the second-story mechanical room, causing the water to flow to the electrical room on the lower level.
Residents were taken to a fraternal organization hall and then to two other nursing homes.
The Repository newspaper in Canton ( http://bit.ly/ylznf6 ) reports the chief estimated the damage at $25,000.
Administrator Brian Fernia says the nursing home takes resident safety seriously.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to collect black cohosh seeds? I have tried for two years running with some, but not great success, waiting for he pods to turn brown, dry, and open slightly before collecting. The first year I got NOTHING.
The second year I waited longer, but because so many of the pods had opened so far, when shaken I could hear seeds rattling around, and only a few of the pods had seeds, I harvested the entire batch. I was afraid I had missed the "good" harvesting time and was collecting only the dregs of what was left. What I ended up with were a lot of very immature seeds, and a small batch of those that were ready. I was still on the early side of the "good" harvest time, not the late. I'm thinking of wrapping the leg of a cutoff pantyhose around the frond and just letting it do it's thing next year, and not even thinking about it until the plant dies back. Thinking about how that will look has me laughing, though. I'd love to hear any suggestions how to be more successful in my seed collecting of this plant. At least I have the one plant that is getting bigger-last resort will be to split it in another few years. Beatrice |

John Edwards trial is wrapping up, how likely is a conviction?
Sara D. Davis/Getty Images
Former Senator John Edwards leaves the US Federal Courthouse after the first day of jury selection on April 12, 2012 in Greensboro, North Carolina. Jury selection begins as the former presidential candidate faces a criminal trial for campaign finance violations.
Neither mistress Rielle Hunter or John Edwards himself took the stand in the former presidential candidate's federal corruption trial this week. Both sides will present their closing arguments today and the case will likely be before a jury by tomorrow.
Edwards is charged with taking over a million dollars in illegal campaign contributions. Contributions which his defense team says were simply gifts from supporters that wanted to help him keep a salacious extramarital affair under wraps. According to the defense, which rested yesterday after just three days, Edwards didn't even know that the his aide, Andrew Young, was requesting the money from wealthy donors and Young spent most of the money on himself instead of handing it over to Rielle Hunter.
How will the jury find? Is Edwards headed to a guilty verdict?
Michael Rich, Assistant Professor of Law, Elon University School of Law. Has been attending the Edwards trial in Greensboro, NC

Save Milton Creek
I object to Kent County Council's plan to build a fixed bridge over Milton Creek as this will prevent sailing boats from entering.
Recent signatures
R Risbridger, United Kingdom
5 years ago Comments: Totally ridiculoius idea, The whole idea of having a creek , especially as it is now to become the centre piece of the Milton Creek Country Park is to be able to use it for boats, The 2000 year history of the creek has evolved around sailing boats and working barges, back to the Romans and before. How many more years of mistakes and stupid decisions are we to suffer by local authorities who simply don't understand or don't care.

Some athletes say that creatine monohydrate helps build muscle mass and improves performance and delays muscle fatigue during short-duration, high-intensity exercise, such as sprinting or weight lifting.
Creatine is best for the serious bodybuilder. It helps increase muscle mass, rather than muscle endurance, so it's not well suited for athletes participating in endurance activities. However, the increase in muscle mass may be due to water retention and not an increase in muscle tissue.

Lexus may have already dropped the LF-Gh concept at the New York Auto Show as a teaser, so it's not exactly a surprise to learn that the finished product -- the 2013 Lexus GS -- will launch soon. In fact, Lexus says the production model will formally debut at the Parc du Concours in Pebble Beach, California, on August 18.
As for what to expect? Well, don't expect any wild surprises. Sources who've seen the production GS in the flesh confirm the car is almost identical in appearance to the LF-Gh concept. Beneath the skin, expect to see some familiar mechanical bits. The GS 350, which will debut in California, uses the same 3.5-liter V-6 engine that's also found across the Lexus portfolio. At this time, however, don't look for an eight-cylinder option: we hear that the new GS Hybrid, which pairs that same V-6 with Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive system, will be the range-topping model for the foreseeable future.
The biggest changes, according to those at Motor Trend who have sampled the car, will be in driving dynamics and sheet metal. The LF-Gh concept was a dramatic step away from the current model's looks, but tweaks to the suspension and steering should make the luxury sport sedan feel more refined and agile.
If you'd like your GS sportier still, Lexus will offer an F Sport package. The package doesn't come with the IS-F's V-8 but rather features with larger wheels and tires, larger front brakes, and a new four-wheel steering system that can change the toe setting of the rear wheels and improve cornering ability.
The GS will be in dealers in time for the start of the 2013 model year. Look for further details on the car here at Automobile Magazine in the weeks to come.

I started my making my first Roman shade today, and I have a very basic question. When I sew the blackout lining to the other fabric, which way does the rubbery surface go -- against the other fabric or facing the street? |

Facing the street!!! Kathi |
- Posted by nancynancy (My Page) on Thu, Jan 19, 06 at 7:27
Thank you, Kathi. Nancy |
Having worked in a professional drapery workroom for many years, I have always been told that the rubbery side faces inside-the fabric side to the street. (Hope this isn't too late-I just joined today) |
- Posted by shadylady2u (My Page) on Sun, Jan 22, 06 at 12:17
According the a lining supplier I deal with, the rubbery side is supposed to face the street, because it provides better insulation that way, however, most workrooms put the fabric side to the street, because it looks nicer. I think either way is OK. |
- Posted by kathi_mdgd (My Page) on Sun, Jan 22, 06 at 13:52
On the ones i bought the rubbery side faced the street!!! That's why i said street.But as shadylady said either would be ok. Kathi |
My blackout fabric is white on both sides with a layer of black in between. Donna |
- Posted by glassquilt (My Page) on Tue, Jan 24, 06 at 9:10
I'd probably put the fabric out on the sunny side of the house because I'd be worried that the sun would break the rubber down faster than it would the fabric. How's that for a run-on sentence? |
I have always been told that from the street you should only see white fabric on windows. That is why expensive drapes are always lined in white. Years ago when I worked at an apartment complex, their leases stated that all drapes, blind, etc. must show white from the street. Good luck. |
- Posted by nancynancy (My Page) on Sun, Jan 29, 06 at 19:18
I ended up putting the rubbery side facing the street. Anyway, the shade turned out beautifully. I used an ivory cotton pintuck fabric I got from Ballard Designs. And the window already had a 12 inch upholstered cornice I had made out of the same fabric two years ago. So for less than $100 ($40 for the shade, $60 for the cornice) I have a custom window treatment that would have cost hundreds of dollars if they'd been professionally made. |
Now that we know which side faces the street, what size needle do we use, which tension setting, etc. |
I'm doing roman shades with the same kind of lining. Not sure if it is blackout lining, but it's white on both sides with one side rubbery feeling. It seems that both ways are correct, but I am really concerned that if I put the rubbery side out it will crack because my windows face south and get very hot. I wonder if anyone has had any experience with cracking. I had a pair of drapes with this lining and they cracked, but they may also have been rather old. nancynancy, how are yours holding up to sunlight? |
- Posted by kathyg_in_mi (My Page) on Thu, Aug 21, 08 at 20:27
I had drapes and separate blackout lining and it lasted at least 20 years for me and one of my sons is now using the lining. My living room window faced south and the dining room window, north. They held up great! Kathy G in MI |
- Posted by ewigginton (My Page) on Fri, Aug 29, 08 at 21:21
Are you using a lining fabric in addition to the blackout or is the blackout itself serving as the only lining? |

Driven by fair competition rules and practices, member companies of the Aerospace Industries Association of America (AIA) and the Aerospace and Defence Industries Association of Europe (ASD) created the International Forum on Business Ethical Conduct (IFBEC). Born in 2009 the IFBEC provides an opportunity to exchange information on best practices and trends in ethics and anti-corruption globally among industry participants.
The Aerospace and Defence Industry's long term success depends on companies upholding integrity in bidding, negotiating and performing contracts. Companies shall behave ethically towards their customers, suppliers, competitors, employees and other stakeholders. These Global Principles highlight key issues in the Aerospace and Defence Industry that may impact on ethical business conduct.
The report provides IFBEC members and Aerospace and Defence industry stakeholders with a picture of IFBEC member compliance with the Global Principles of Business Ethics for the Aerospace and Defence Industry developed by IFBEC and the best practices that align with those principles.
The IFBEC Transparency and Accountability Subcommittee developed the report using a detailed questionnaire thats draws on topics and issues raised by multiple stakeholder groups, including goverment officials, financial institutions and non-governmental organisations. IFBEC membership includes the most successful aerospace and defence companies in the world. The results indicate that their success is clearly linked to a consistent commitment to ethical business conduct and active resistance to corruption.

As Denver's Hotel Scene Hits Its Peak, The Ritz-Carlton Decides to Renovate
The BEFORE shot. Keep reading for the AFTER goodness.
2014 was a big year for the Denver hotel scene thanks to the opening of two of the city�s now-finest hotels, the Crawford Hotel and the Renaissance Downtown Denver. With a few more in the pipeline for this coming year, it should come as no surprise that properties across the city are beginning to renovate. The Four Seasons redid its restaurant, the Warwick began redoing its rooms, and now The Ritz-Carlton has announced it too will spruce things up.
Set to be finished in March, Ritz-Carlton Denver is undergoing a soft renovation of its 202 guestrooms, including updates to the wall coverings, carpeting, headboards, upholstery, and corridors. The plan calls for a combination of natural and modern elements, lush textures, a fresh color palette, and the addition of �tech-savvy innovations to suit both the business and leisure traveler.�
That�s pretty vague, so instead of dwelling on the description, simply have a look at the rendering below:

Watch This Man Circle the Four Seasons Denver With a Jetpack
Here's a random video to make your day go by a little faster: A pilot from GoFast Jet Packs took a spin around the top of the Four Seasons Denver this summer as part of a training exercise. The flight lasted about 30 seconds as he lifted off, circled, and then returned to the hotel's roof.
We were certainly pumped to see this video, partly because we didn't realize jet packs actually existed and partly because it helped to draw attention to the Four Seasons, a hotel that has lived in the shadows over the past year as new hotels celebrated their openings across the city. Despite this, the Four Seasons remains, along with the Ritz-Carlton, the city's highest-end property. Right now, the hotel is in the process of redesigning its in-house restaurant, Edge, to be a little more, well, edgy.
The videos below show the stunt. The kid in us wishes that this experience will be offered down the line as part of a hotel package. Any takers?

Before and After: The Hotel Teatro Unveils New Restaurant and Lobby Concept
We love hotel renovations nearly just as much as we love new hotels. But what we really love about hotel renovations is seeing the transformation that happens when an old, tired and lackluster room gets a modern makeover and transforms into new, spiffed-up, stylish guest room. Or put more simply, we love comparing the Before and After.
As new hotels continue to open up across the city of Denver, the Hotel Teatro is not letting the new kids in town steal the entire spotlight.
This month, the hotel showed off its recently transformed common areas, including a brand new lobby and restaurant concept. The changes keep the marble and architectural detail of the original 1911 building, but definitely inject a sense of modernism. Let's take a look inside with some before and after photos:

A First Look Inside Denver's Brand New Crawford Hotel at Union Station
Exterior of Denver's Union Station, location of the Crawford Hotel
If the Renaissance Denver Downtown City Center has the most beautiful lobby in Denver, then the one at the brand new Crawford Hotel has the best buzz. Maybe that's because it's not really a lobby at all. Located in the freshly renovated Union Station in downtown Denver, the hotel sits above the main train terminal, home to ten bars and restaurants. If you're looking for a place to escape the vibe of the city, the Crawford Hotel is not the place to do it. As the newest refurbishment project in the city, Union Station has embraced the spotlight since opening in late July.
Dominating the scene in the "lobby" is the Terminal Bar, which, while having its own dedicated space, pours out into the terminal and offers about 40 Colorado beers on tap. Two shuffleboard courts sit in the middle of the main room, and a walk-up window allows easy access for those who prefer to have a drink in the common space and watch the coming and goings of the station. The rest of the restaurants and bars are located outside of the main room, designated by signs reminiscent of old-school train schedule boards, similar to the one below that marks the location of the Crawford's concierge desk.
Signs reminiscent of old-school train schedule boards hang on the walls of the terminal
One of the most unique things about the Crawford is that you can "go out" without really "going out." Sure, lots of hotels have restaurants in their lobbies, but most of the time, you feel like you're having dinner in a hotel. Because there is so much going on at the Crawford - and the fact that there's really no lobby - a guest instantly forgets they are in a hotel upon exiting their room. Eatery options range from small coffee shops to local favorites: Stoic & Genuine for seafood and raw bar, the Kitchen Next Door for farm-to-table fare, and Snooze, Denver's infamous "A.M. Eatery," known for its pancakes and Benedicts.

The Best Room to Book at The Hotel Monaco in Denver
Monte Carlo Suite with King Bed
The Mile High City will have four new hotels opening this year, including the exciting Crawford Hotel in Union Station, so it's easy to see how an "older" property like the Hotel Monaco Denver could get lost in the crowd. And not just amongst competitors, but amongst its own brand as well. A few months ago, we learned that Kimpton will open its second property in the city next year.
But all hope is not lost. The 189-room boutique hotel was renovated back in December of 2010, and during our stay last week, we did not see any signs of aging. During happy hour, between the daily wine hour in the lobby and the crowd at the in-house restaurant Panzano, it was very obvious that the Monaco still has plenty of gas in the tank.
After touring the room options at the Monaco as part of our Best Room to Book series, our recommendation is the Monte Carlo Suite. Starting at $299/night during the summer, the upgrade will typically cost about $50-$80 more than a standard room. For that price, you get 125 more feet of space, which is mostly in the form of a separate sitting area with a pull out couch.

Did You Know That All Renaissance Properties Have This Secret Menu Item?
Menu items at the Renaissance Denver Downtown.
Last week, while having a drink in the lobby of the Renaissance Denver Downtown - we opened the bar menu to take a peek at the fare. Amongst the typical city-priced items, we noticed that one option stood out from the rest.
It looked strange and out of place, that last item with the peculiar price tag: 99 cent homeamde chips and dip. Was this a mistake? If soft pretzels are $8, and almonds $6... were the chips stale or something? We immediately put our hand in the air for the bartender to come over. We pointed at the menu. Are you serious with these chips?
Well, wouldn't you know that we just so happened to stumble upon one of the industry's best kept secrets. Turns out, all 157 Renaissance Hotels around the world have featured 99 cent chips on their bar menus since 2010. We've always been told to never question a good thing, but that simply doesn't work for a writer. Why, in a world where, quite frankly, hotel guests have become complacent and accepting of overpaying for food and beverage, would a hotel do such a thing?

This Denver Hotel Lobby is Being Called the Most Beautiful Room in the City... And We Agree
Kicking off what is set to be a big summer for new hotels in downtown Denver, the Renaissance Denver Downtown City Center, or as we prefer, the Ren Den, officially opened its doors late last month in the former Colorado Bank Building at 17th and Champa.
We knew to expect a sense of grandness given the pre-opening reports that the hotel would keep the major columns, vaults, and historical features of the building intact, but when we walked in for the first time last week, it was immediately clear that the hotel had done much more than simply overtake a historic building. No, this was something much more epic. This was the lobby that the local Denver press is referring to as the most beautiful room in city.
Despite being immediately impressed by how vast the room is and feeling small beneath its towering ceiling, it's all in the details at the Renaissance. Overhead, the Bank's original murals still hang, and the former safe, just off the lobby with the 62,000-pound door always propped open, has been converted into a meeting room. A drink at the lobby bar is an absolute must to take it all in, and be sure to take a walk downstairs, one floor below the lobby, to check out several other old vaults. Check out the photo gallery below to get a sense of the experience.

The JW Marriott in Denver Will Have Some Incredible Art to Show Off Next Week
If you live in the area or plan to pass through Denver next week, the JW Marriott Cherry Creek is going to be the temporary home for an exclusive showing of Impressionist & Modern paintings, American art, 19th Century European art, and luxury timepieces on April 22rd through 24th.
It promises to be a pretty impressive exhibit, featuring more than 15 pieces that include paintings by Vincent Van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Thomas Moran, Camille Pissarro, and Norman Rockwell, plus sculptures by Edgar Degas and Henry Moore.
Put on in a partnership with Christie�s Fine Art, the collection is making a stop in Denver on its way to be auctioned off in New York City later this year. Believe it or not, the painting shown below by Thomas Moran, entitled "The Grand Canyon of the Colorado," was painted in 1904 and is expected to sell for $8 million. $8 million!

Well, That Didn't Take Long: Denver to Get Its First 'Bud and Breakfast' Soon
Back in January, we asked the question, "When will the first Denver hotel openly allow pot smoking?" now that the state has legalized marijuana and today, we find out that a hotel is already in the works.
Except it's not a traditional hotel. But rather, a bed and breakfast which will be turned into a...wait for it...bud and breakfast.
Eater reports that a company called...wait for it... The MaryJane Group, Inc. has bought the Adagio Bed and Breakfast with the hopes of turning it into a "pilot project in the marijuana-friendly lodging industry." And...wait for it...the B&B will be all-inclusive!
Guests will have "unlimited food, drink and, of course, the best marijuana and marijuana edibles Colorado has to offer." There will also be an on-site chef available to cook meals to order as well as unlimited luxury transportation within Denver city with...wait for it...24 hour security. Here's the full press release if you're interested.
If this pilot project is successful, The MaryJane Group hopes to expand to other B&Bs.
So we gotta ask--Would you stay at a Bud and Breakfast? Sound off in comments below!

Some Updates on the 6 Denver Hotels Set to Open This Year and Next
It's been no secret that Denver, a city once considered a "cattle town," is growing up right in front of our eyes. With six hotels in the pipeline for the next two years, it is an incredible increase considering the city's relatively small downtown. We look forward to watching the progress it makes in the coming years, and wish each of the hotels luck in serving their role. Here's an updated list with details and opening dates:
1. The Crawford Hotel:Much of downtown's growth is revolving around Union Station, which is being completely redeveloped in anticipation of the launch of the airport line in 2016. The Crawford Hotel, set to open July 12th with 112 rooms, will be the only hotel to rest within its walls. It should be pretty impressive and we can't wait to get a glimpse of its railcar-themed rooms.

Kimpton to Open a Brand-New Hotel in Denver Near Union Station
As part of a big upcoming year for Denver's hotel scene, The Crawford Hotel will open in the repurposed Union Station this summer on July 12th. Looks like the momentum will continue into 2015, as Kimpton has announced it will build a property nearby in the same "LoDo" neighborhood.
Details are very slim, but we do know that the new hotel, which is currently without a name, will have 200 rooms and become the city's second Kimpton property and the third in the state overall, joining the Hotel Monaco a few blocks away and the party-oriented Sky Hotel in Aspen.
It's hard to believe that the Hotel Monaco opened over 15 years ago in 1998, and we're happy to see Kimpton make a return to the Mile High City, which has been absolutely blooming of late. The new property is slated for a late 2015 opening, and we'll be sure to pass on details as they are announced over the next year.

On a recent visit to Croatia, I was struck by how many small Roman archeological sites dotted the landscape as well as how many wells, pumps, bridges and roads built by the armies of rulers like Diocletian still serve the region. I'm guessing that neither the taskmasters nor the slaves who carted the stones and dug the wells would have considered themselves industrial designers, but they were certainly part of a tradition of designing with intent—making sure that precious resources were used and re-used and, above all, designed to last.
Romans ruins of Solin (Salona), outside Split, Croatia. June 2004. Photo by Adam Jones
But what does it mean to design with intent in the 21st century when our natural and human-made resources are more precious than ever before? Designing for your product's lifetime is more than just a perspective on the end product, it's a total concept that can help designers structure the entire design process to more efficiently and effectively source, create, distribute and repair products that withstand the test of time, even if some of the pieces need to be fixed or replaced. To help reach these goals, Dan Lockton's Design with Intent Toolkit focuses on how to design objects for certain kinds of human behavior: for example, how to encourage a user to consume less water or energy. Autodesk also took a closer look at Designing with intent on their Sustainability Workshop blog.
Core77's Design for (Your) Product Lifetime Student Challenge is all about designing with intent. In partnership with Autodesk and iFixit, we've asked students and recent graduates to present a new "smart" product that's also smarter environmentally. Coming up on our November 15 deadline for submissions, we're looking forward to seeing a variety of entries we expect would make Diocletian proud.
Entries are due November 15 and winners will be announced on December 5 on Core77 and with a special webcast presented by Autodesk. Prizes include:
- $2,000 AmEx card
- Pro Tech Base Toolkit, available on iFixit.com, along with the Oak Gerstner Toolbox
- $1,000 AmEx card
- Pro Tech Base Toolkit, available on iFixit.com
- $750 AmEx card
- $25 gift certificate to iFixit.com
Good luck to all who have entered! And if you need some extra inspiration, watch this webinar from Dawn Danby, Senior Sustainable Design Program Manager at Autodesk and co-creator of Autodesk Sustainability Workshop, reviews a range of sustainable product development strategies, focusing on ways designers can guide users to more sustainable behavior.

This is a review for the L'Oreal True Match Naturale Foundation in Light Ivory 458/W1-W2.
It's a face powder with SPF 19.
I went through the container in about 2 months, using it every morning over my face moisturizer.
Overall, I did not like this product.
The brush that comes with it is not very good. It has very short bristles and is quite dense. It made the application look patchy.
Even using a good brush, the powder comes out as very mat and flat.
This added a dusty looking layer over my face, making my skin look dull.
Felt like I was wearing a mask :(
2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Coverage not all that noticeable as compared to the great coverage on the powder concealer. Brush on top is nice if you don't have individual makeup brushes, but not needed. Doesn't bother my acne but does little to my skin and works more as a finishing powder.

I was given this product for free when I was fifteen and after I ran out I went and bought a new one. I love this product, it is my favourite powder. Even though the colour is a bit peachy for my skin tone, I love how it stays on all day and looks both flawless and natural. It's brilliant on it's own or on top of your regular liquid foundation. The SPF15 makes it perfect for summer. I love this product and I will keep buying it until it discontinues.
for some reason the container i have is called "Natural Match", not "True Match". anyhoo, it's the same stuff.
i like it! it covers imperfections on my skin. i admit it gets a little cakey on more oily parts such as on my nose and on my chin, but one wipe and that problem gets solved for me easily. it goes on beautifully on my cheeks, forehead and neck. i think the brush's bristles are too rough but i just use it anyway - i am about to buy new soft brushes (ecotools). i've been using this product for about 2 years, but not daily. more like weekly. i don't wear make up every day. the colour matched me perfectly. i want to try the concealer but i can't find it in walmart! looks like i'll have to go to shoppers and pay more!
it does spill a bit, so i tap it down before opening it and i hold it a little far from my clothes and open slowly. it's not the worst thing in the world
I ran out of my Bare Minerals and was really low on money so I bought this. Let me say, I can't believe it but I like it better than Bare Minerals. I do apply it still with the angled Bare Minerals Brush, but this is by far the best Mineral powder makeup I ever used. I also used it for my wedding and I had comments of my skin looked like a Barbie Doll. It did fantastic for wedding pics.

I have pretty bad scarring and hyperpimentation from teenage acne ( I am now 40) , I find this powder gives me great coverage - recently started to use it over a primer and it works a dream. The trick is to layer it gradually rather than heavily cake it on - use a different brush to get a better result , or use the brush with lighter strokes/motion.
Not a fan of the packaging - not travel friendly at all and awkward shape - but the powder works great on my oilt T zone and my scars and marks - since I stopped using liquid foundation five years ago never looked back. I only ever wear liquid at parties now.Another thing - great for photos - gives you flawless skin !
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I've been wearing this product for years even though its made my skin, red, dry itchy and flakey. I buy it only because the color is a perfect match for my skin and it looks like I have no make up on at all, I can wear it all day, but come 5pm my face is itching like nothing else and I have to take it of.
If u apply it around or near ur eyes be prepared for it to settle into EVERY little cranny, making u look older, so go for a liquid concealer or apply a primer first around the eye.
I don't know why I still buy it, but I'm experimenting with other foundations because I just can't stand the itching anymore. Oh and the brush..more like a bristle, hate it.
6 out of 11 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Pros: *Excellent coverage! Covers redness, pigmentation, scarring. The best coverage I've found in any mineral foundation.
*Does not cause acne breakouts! And that's saying something as just about every foundation I've tried breaks me out. This is a huge plus. *Leaves a lovely dewy finish, making skin look healthy.
*You don't need to use a primer, works very well with or without a primer *i use it on top of 30+ sunscreen and it still looks fabulous *You can layer it so it looks light and natural for the day or it can look heavier for nights out. *i put a mineral veil powder in top if I want a more matte look
Cons: *Too expensive here in Australia $40 is ridiculous *Crappy brush: works much better if you use a good quality brush.*bad packaging. I'd much rather a lid that can be used to tip the powder into, and I'd rather they ditch the brush and give us more foundation instead as it only lasts a month or so if you use it daily. *not enough choice of skin shades *can make you look 'shiny' if you over-apply it.
I have tried Nude by Nature and Bare Minerals and this one is so much better. It is the best of both worlds as it looks very natural but has excellent coverage without causing acne and that's why I keep coming back to it.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
My skin is rather oily and this makes me look really shiny. It's not bad mineral makeup but I have to mix ivory and beige to make it match my skin, it stays on for a good amount of time though so overall not good but not bad either.

I was listening to BBC radio on my way to the airport Sunday for my flight to San Diego and Catalyst. The story was about the invention of the clinical trial by James Lind. While serving as surgeon on the HMS Salisbury Lind conducted experiments with the crew that was suffering from scurry. He noticed that some crew members improved by eating citrus while others did not.
However, instead of assuming that citrus was the key, he devised an experiment where 12 sailors were split into 6 groups of 2. Each group was given different diet supplements; some with oranges, some with limes, and others non-citrus items. By devising this experiment, he was able to confirm his hypothesis that citrus was the key to eliminating scurvy and give birth to the clinical trial. He used the trial to test his assumptions, prove out his theory, and to expose anything he may have overlooked. His great contribution to science was being humble and embracing uncertainty.
It made me think how most businesses have not learned to apply this critical and important lesson discovered by Lind in the 1700s. Today businesses still prefer to assume certainty over uncertainty. For example, they gladly fund initiatives based on assumed market and economic conditions, benefits, and risks. But once decided, they rarely put in place tests to monitor their assumptions.
Why are businesses so unscientific while pretending to be scientific? Businesses apply operations research and other Tayloristic ideas to remove human effort in the name of management science. The assumption being that this will lead to greater long term value. But has it? Recent analysis would suggest otherwise. The Deloitte LLP Center for the Edge studied long term return on assets (ROA) trends showing that ROA has suffered a steady decline since 1965. All US public companies experienced sustained and significant erosion in ROA — dropping by 75%. Is it possible that while we have been minding the store of productivity we have been burying ROA and possibly our future? Possibly so.
This is an example of how businesses make assumptions about value and do not apply the lessons of the clinical trial. We assumed for decades that productivity was the goal and never thought about what else may be affected. We become over confident in a winning formula only to find that the assumptions behind the formula have changed. We fund initiatives and hardly ever monitor the outcome. We eliminate human involvement and starve organizations of human insight.
When will organizations become truly scientific, embrace uncertainty, and constantly examine assumptions? Are people more interested in psuedo-science and pretending to be certain?

Baseball Opens Season With 25-2 Rout of Northwestern
Feb. 19, 2010 Offense was supposed to be a concern for the 2010 George Mason baseball team. The Patriots lost more than two-thirds of the 2009 offense to graduation or the Major League Baseball Draft. But if Friday's 25-2 rout of Northwestern was any indication, the bats won't be a concern. It was the most runs ever for the Patriots in a season opener as they downed the Wildcats as part of the 2010 Bojangles Baseball Classic hosted by Winthrop University in Rock Hill, S.C. Senior Kevin Crum allowed four hits and no walks while striking out six in six innings. He surrendered just one run in picking up the season-opening win. Branden Bartlett allowed four hits and no walks in three innings to pick up his first career save. Ryan Soares had three hits and five RBI, Shane Davis had two hits and four RBI, Dan Schafferman and Brett Hendricks each had three hits and three RBI and Dan Palumbo was 5 for 7 with three runs and two RBI. Palumbo tied the school record for hits in a game. The season got started right as the Patriots scored multiple times in five different innings and put runs on the board in all but two innings. With one out in the first, Dan Schafferman singled and Ryan Soares tripled to make it a 1-0 contest. Northwestern first baseman Chris Lashmet couldn't handle Mark Hill's grounder that should have been the third out and Soares came home to score and make it 2-0. After a 1-2-3 bottom of the first, the Patriots put five more runs on the board in the second.
Brett Hendricks singled in his first at-bat for Mason, then Dan Palumbo singled and Nick Allen sacrificed the runners into scoring position. Jeremy Haas' ground out made it 3-0 and Soares' grounder to short was misplayed by Zach Morton to make it a four-run lead. Shane Davis followed with a homer to right to make it 7-0. With two outs and no one on in the third, the Patriots rallied as Palumbo singled and Allen and Haas walked to load the bases. With a 3-2 count, Schafferman walked to make it 8-0 and Soares singled down the rightfield line on the first pitch he saw to make it 10-0. Davis added an RBI single to make it an 11-run lead. Meanwhile, Crum was cruising. He retired the Wildcats in order in the first two innings and he weather an error and hit batter in the third before striking out Trevor Stevens looking with two runners on. In the top of the fourth, Hendricks singled with one out, Allen singled with two outs and Haas' grounder to Morton resulted in an error and a 12-0 lead. The Wildcats finally got on the board in the fourth when Chad Noble led off with a single, took second on a wild pitch and scored on a Lashmet double. Mason made up for the run in the sixth when Josh Steinberg led off with a homer. Later in the frame, Palumbo singled and Allen and Haas walked to load the bases and once again Schafferman had an RBI by drawing a bases-loaded walk. Soares' grounded out to make it 15-1. A Mark Hill homer to lead off the seventh made it a 15-run lead but Northwestern got a run back in the seventh on an Colby Everett single, an Andy Fields ground out and a Trevor Stevens single to make it 16-2. But Mason continued the hot hitting in the eight when Allen reached on an error, Haas singled, Allen took third on a fly out then scored on a Soares double. Haas came home on Anthony Montefusco's pinch-hit single for an 18-2 lead. But the inning was far from over. Chris Cook pinch hit and he was hit by a pitch and with two outs, Hendricks cleared the bases with a double to plate three. Palumbo followed with a single and a 22-2 lead. Four more runs came across for the Patriots in the ninth as Haas singled, Schafferman tripled and Montefusco hit a sacrifice fly. With the bases empty and two outs, Cook singled, Steinberg walked, Danny Lyons singled to bring home Cook and Palumbo doubled to finish the scoring. The Patriots will return to action on Saturday when they play a pair of games. At 11 a.m., Mason will play Marist and at 2 p.m., the Patriots will play Winthrop. |

LEGOshop.com sale -- bargains to be had!
Posted by Huw,In the USA, a lot of products have had their prices cut today including General Grievous who you can now pick up for under $30, down from $90. See everything that's on sale!
Sadly, the half-decent products that were reduced earlier in the week in the UK have now all gone...
31 comments on this article
Nothing much, but it would be nice if they put a sale on the AT-TE...
Yes finally a sale Go to lego.com NOW some of the deals are very good and will sell out fast.
yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!! i am so geting valcanoe base,airport, star justice, and crystal reaper
$30!? Wow! Too bad I don't have that much...
Wow!I'm gonna get the EXT alien infiltrator set.Whats the point of having Motorcycle Chase,Race for the Stolen Treasure,and Indiana Jones and The Lost Tomb for sale if they're all sold out?
^ Seriously?
Because they weren't sold out when the sale first started... They went on sale, people bought them, they became sold out. It's not rocket science.
Pretty much everything in the UK S@H sale has been discounted for weeks on the site. It's about time TLC put some new items up there.
I just got 15 of the 4936 Doc and Patient. Cheap females. The guy? Maybe I can trade him off.
Grievous is tempting, however I still think I'll pass because I'm saving up for Space Police 3 and he doesn't really have any rare parts, which would be my only reason for buying him.
I already have the Alien Infiltrator (underrated set), and although I like that speedboat set I still don't really like Agents enough to blow even $20 on it. :/
Oh well- maybe some better sets will go on sale later.
I wanted the Ultra-Drill Walker but it was sold out, and they don't even have it on Lego anymore.
Death Star II is less than $150 now, and it has TONS of pieces. Pretty sweet...if I had $150.
The Doc is gone too.
Everything good is sold-out. I hope they add more stuff soon, but I doubt it.
Maybe, just maybe, I'll get Chirox before he goes.
I placed an order just now. Impulse sets for $.98. That's my kind of price.
Brickapolis: But with $5 shipping, your really not even getting it on sale. Your paying more then you would pay if you went to the store and got it. (Possibly including taxes)
I'm just waiting for them to put Toa Onua on sale... I have $10. But if Vamprah goes any lower, I'll most definently snatch him.
I really do love the impulse set they have, so if I get Onua or Vamprah, and they still have it, I'm getting it.
I really wanted the Dirt Bike they had on sale for $10, but it sold out in like an hour.
I can't believe they had 44 items on there yesturday, and now theres only 27 left!
Almost tempting. If I hadn't blown _all_ of my money in Washington DC on souveniers, I would probably have a box on the way to my house with LEGO Indy for PC, Greivous, and the Agents speedboat mission in it.
YES! This is aawesome! I have been waiting forever for general grievous to get a bit cheaper. But I trhink that I am going to get the boeing 787 dreamliner instead.
I got Public Works, Doc and Patient, and Motorcycle Chase. All for $13 including shipping. I feel like I got a good deal.
missed out on the great sale items. already had most of them though. saving my money for the new sets this summer.
ya i dont think most of the stuff will last long.
I want that Agents Speedboat set soooo bad! Too bad I don't have any money............
I hope those Bionicle sales expand...
The Public Works set for $.98 is a great deal. I bought 30 of them.......am seeing great opportunities with this set later on, and you can see for yourself as this set is #2 on the hot list on Lego.com.
To: Republic Commander Sev
They had the Dirt Bike on sale at a Fred Meyer I went to at around Christmas, but it was THE LAST LEGO THEY HAD IN STOCK!
I don't really know. Most of these things that are really cheap, I don't like the series, and the ones that I really want are too much money(I have none).
To: vezon8764: Sweet! I wish I could of been there, I would of bought it right away!
At 30 bucks I had to go ahead and get General Grievous, if anything he'll make a great conversation piece on the shelf in my office.
great! to bad they don't have any Castle, Pirates, or '09 bionicles, though.
Miser22-you bought 30 of them?!? cool, good for you.
as c.lee.r said, i'm saving my money for the summer and pirate sets.
i wish there were more lego sets on sale, public works should sell out fast!
all the good ones are sold out
Yes and have been for 2 weeks. lol
I don't really like the General Grievous. I'll use up all his pieces for my Lego ships.
To: Republic Commando Sev: They had it at $10 bucks, but since it's 09 now, I'll bet that it's gone now.
I found a good site that contains sales and deals going on around major retailers.
Check out www.toysnbricks.com ! I got most of the deals from that site.

The Kids Adventure Games offers kids ages 6 through 14 to opportunity to experience the thrill of adventure racing. Kids learn teamwork skills, have fun and build confidence in a one-of-a-kind outdoor experience created just for them. During the race, teams of two will work together to navigate a variety of sports and problem-solving challenges.
The Kids Adventure Games emphasizes teamwork, problem solving and fun. Race Director, Billy Mattison, explains, "The idea behind the race is to create an event that has all the fun things we dreamed about as kids. With zip-lines, slip and slides, rope bridges, tubing, mud crawls and anything else we can dream up, the kids will have a true adventure and an incredible time. We want the kids to cross the finish line pumped up with smiles on their faces and a feeling of accomplishment."
Mattison continues, "The intent of the Kids Adventure Games is to challenge participants and teams physically and mentally while exploring and experiencing a mini-expedition. At its core, the event challenges adventurers to navigate their way through wild terrain to find a pre-determined number of checkpoints in order to complete the journey. A variety of disciplines are encountered during the race, with hiking/running, mountain biking and tubing being the most common. The courses will be challenging, exciting, adventurous, fun and a great opportunity. Completing the journey and crossing the finish line is a great triumph and life experience."
The Kids Adventure Games was founded in 2009 by Hélène and Billy Mattison with a single event in Vail, Colorado; produced in conjunction with the Vail Recreation District. In 2013, after five successful summer events, NRG Marketing (NRG) joined forces with the Mattison's to expand the concept to become a national series, hosted by some of the countries top resorts.

In "Harvest the Power," a Tapestry of Faith program
Participants build awareness and understanding of events in their lives that were turning points — moments of grace — and reflect on how their past shapes their present and their vision for the future.
Distribute newsprint and markers. Ask participants to draw a line across the length of the paper. This line represents their life. Have them mark the line evenly for every five years of their life. If it is helpful to them, they can also write the actual year at each mark.
Next, invite participants to get comfortable and prepare for a guided meditation in which they will think about some events in their lives. Read the guided meditation in Leader Resource 2.
After the meditation, invite participants to mark their timelines with "moments of grace" in their lives. They can use different colors for different types of events if they like. With each event or moment, have them think about (or write down) what change resulted. Tell them they will have 15 minutes to complete this portion of the exercise. You may want to play some music during this period. Check in with each participant to ensure that they understand the activity.
After 15 minutes, invite participants to form groups of three to share their timelines. Ask them to describe particular events or moments and the effect each had on their lives. Allow each participant five minutes to share with their group, reminding them to switch speakers at five-minute intervals.
Then regather the whole group for discussion about the exercise. You might ask:
To conclude, tell the group that the next activity will guide them to look at how congregations experience turning points and what that has to do with leadership.
This activity may evoke difficult memories. Be sensitive to participants' emotional states. Make it clear they may "pass" in both small and large group discussion.

Facebook is internally referring to the messaging app as Slingshot, the Guardian reports. Slingshot is currently under development, but could be released as soon as this month — provided Facebook doesn't remember what happened to its Poke app, and decide to scrap the project altogether. Read More

Thursday Workout: 3.5 miles: 37 min 14 sec, BODYPUMP!!!!
Friday Workout: TBA!
I got to go to a BodyPump class last night!!!!! I couldn't make any other classes this week and it had been over a week since my last class! I planned on running 3-4 right after school at a nearby park and I got 3.5 miles in before going straight to BodyPump!
Look at those 8's! Well, 8:54 and 8:47 but still fast for me. I haven't ran outside since Sunday and had a sudden burst of energy when I started my run. I decided to really push myself and run hard for the first 2 miles. After I finished 2 miles, I walked for .25 trying to catch my breath then ran comfortably for the rest of mile 3. Then I walked half a mile to finish up the run so I could let my legs relax before BodyPump!
BODYPUMP!!!!! It kicked my butt! I forgot how hard it is when you've taken time off! The squat and shoulder track killed me and I was sweating up a storm. As soon as my favorite instructor put the music on in the beginning of class I instantly got excited. I LOVE this class so much. Have I mentioned how much I love BodyPump? :) I probably won't love it so much Friday when I'm sore from running hard and going to class. ( I wrote this post last night!)
After class I was so tired and hungry and decided to stop at the grocery store across the street for a treat. I thought I deserved it!
My favorite two flavors of Kombucha!!!! I thought I deserved a treat so I picked up a few :)
I feel like I really pushed myself Thursday night by running hard and going to BodyPump after taking time off from it. I was really proud that I could do these two workouts after such a longgggg week at work! I'm ready for some sleep this weekend!!
What workouts push you the most?

Our goal with this site is to provide you, the reader, with our opinions of the Video Game and PC industry. We may be biased, but they are our own biases, and are not for sale.
Most of the staff at EPO have been in the gaming industry prior to writing for this site, so you can expect our opinions to be informed. We cover anything of interest, current or not. If we think you need to know about it, it'll be here. Advertisements will be at a minimum, because we're not here to make money.
Reviews here are not ambiguous. Almost everyone that reads a review wants to know if the game or product is worth their money and "6.8″ just doesn't tell people much. We'll also tell you how much time we put into the game before reviewing it, so you can weigh our opinions as valid or not.
If you don't like that, please go somewhere else.
