Ultra Music Festival is an annual outdoor electronic music festival that occurs in March in the city of Miami, Florida, United States. Previously, the festival coincided with the annual Winter Music Conference, also held in Miami, however, as of 2011, the two are held on separate weeks.
Ultra is held in Downtown Miami in Bayfront Park. It was a 1-day festival from 1999–2006, a 2-day festival from 2007–2010, and was a 3-day festival in 2011-2012. It is North America's second largest electronic music festival, after the Electric Daisy Carnival. In 2012, a record 60,000 people attended the festival per day.[1]

Ultra Music Festival was founded in 1999 by business partners Russell Faibisch and Alex Omes. The first ever Ultra Music Festival was held as a one day event at the end of the Winter Music Conference in 1999 with performances by Rabbit in the Moon and DJ Baby Anne. The event was held on South Beach in Miami Beach, Florida, and was a major success. In March 2000 the festival returned to South Beach as a one day event, the festival was met with even more success and was renewed immediately for a third year.
Because of the massive rise in attendance between 1999 and 2000, festival coordinators decided to relocate to Bayfront Park in Downtown Miami for the third annual event. UMF continued to bring the biggest names in electronic dance music to Miami with performances by Tiesto, EC Twins, Paul Van Dyk, Paul Oakenfold, Sander Kleinenberg, Photek, Josh Wink, DJ Craze and Rabbit in the Moon from 2001 to 2005. With the record-breaking attendance of the seventh annual UMF in 2005 the festival was again relocated, strangely, to a smaller (by area) venue, Bicentennial Park, for 2006. In 2007, with Winter Music Conference in full swing, Ultra Music Festival held its first 2-day event at Bicentennial Park with a record breaking 50,000+ concert goers in attendance. Ultra Music Festival celebrated its 10th anniversary March 28–29, 2008 with performances by Tiesto, Underworld, Justice, Paul Van Dyk, Carl Cox, Armin Van Buuren, MSTRKRFT, Deadmau5, Annie Mac, Eric Prydz, Ferry Corsten, Calvin Harris, Moby, The Crystal Method, Boys Noize, Benny Benassi, Armand Van Helden, Duck Sauce, David Guetta, Jes, Enur, Pete Tong, Jackal & Hyde and Rabbit in the Moon. With estimated attendance over 70,000, the festival set a new City of Miami record for number of tickets sold at a single event. The eleventh annual UMF occurred March 27–28, 2009, the lineup including more crossover acts and live bands like The Black Eyed Peas, The Prodigy, The Ting Tings, Santigold, Crystal Castles, The Whip, and Perry Farrell. The twelfth annual UMF took place March 26–27, 2010, with headlining performances by Tiesto and deadmau5, as well as performances by David Guetta, Orbital, Little Boots, Sasha & Digweed, Above and Beyond and The Bloody Beetroots. Each stage was accompanied with visual arts provided by VJs Vello Virkhaus, Psyberpixie, and Cozer. The festival sold out for the first time with over 100,000 attendees, where it was announced that the 13th annual event would take place over the course of three days in March 2011.
Early Bird pre-sale tickets for Ultra Music Festival 2012 sold out within 20 minutes (seconds according to the Ultra Music Festival Facebook Page) amidst crashing servers. Shortly thereafter, pre-sale tickets increased from $149 to $229. This is also the second year that tickets for individual days did not become available for sale.
In January, tickets for three day general admission sold out.[2]

I saw this rug (costing more, I might add) on one of those "daily bargain" decorating websites, and fell in love. i was glad to find it here, for less money and less costly shipping.

I'm not sure how this happened but we managed to completely forget about the Christmas Tree until yesterday afternoon. There's was no time cut …good job guys! We cleared out a storage area so that we can put the tree on wheels and roll the whole thing into storage and roll it back out next year, heheh.
I'm in charge of the dalmatians. In the 1990s, McDonald's gave 101 Dalmatians for Happy Meal toys. We ate at least 101 Happy Meals to collect every dalmatian.
A few years later they did 102 Dalmatians. Again we had 102 Happy Meals to secure every single one. We visited each McDonald's on Oahu and even some in NYC when we went on a family vacation. The freezer was full of mcnuggets and fries…mom eventually threw them out. But we got all the dalmatians! 203 in total.
They come out for Christmas, grouped in categories…dalmatians with hats…

LONDON (CNNMoney) — France's controversial "millionaire tax" is set to become law, allowing the government to levy a 75% tax on companies that pay salaries in excess of €1 million.
The tax was approved by France's constitutional council on Sunday after an earlier version was deemed unconstitutional last year.
President François Hollande introduced the tax as a way to force the rich to help France shrink its massive budget deficit and support the sagging economy. It had originally been created as a tax on individuals, but was eventually shifted to a tax on companies paying high annual salaries.
According to the constitutional council, employers must pay the levy on salaries exceeding €1 million ($1.4 million) a year. The tax will apply for two years -- 2013 and 2014 -- and will not be allowed to surpass 5% of a company's annual revenue.
Hollande has said the new tax is "symbolic" and designed to make a political statement about economic fairness. The tax is not ultimately expected to be a big money-maker for the government.
"This tax was born in the heat of Hollande's [2012] presidential campaign," said James Aston, a professor of French politics at Aston University in the U.K. "It's only a tax for two years. It's temporary. So yes, this is highly symbolic."
The tax proposals prompted a severe backlash from high-profile business people, movie stars and soccer clubs.
Earlier this year, French soccer clubs had threatened to boycott a number of matches after learning they would not be exempt from the tax, though the boycotts were later called off.
The initial tax proposal also prompted famous French actor Gerard Depardieu to take up Russian citizenship to protest against the tax.

With over 20 million iPad's sold since their debut just over a year ago, it's not surprising to learn that device owners are spending more time with their shiny new toy than other screens like their phone, desktop or laptop, or television. A growing percentage are going beyond Angry Birds and the New York Times, to spend time – and more importantly, money – shopping their favorite retail stores using their iPad.
What could really shake up the retail industry is placing an iPad in the hands of associates on the sales floor. Imagine staff, armed with information and access, helping customers when and where they're shopping, and closing the deal by ringing up sales in the aisle. That' s what Nordstrom just announced plans for: put 5,000 tablet devices into associates' hands across their stores by July to check store inventory and process payments.
In fact, Shop.org recently released industry research regarding retailers' use of tablets and how important they are to their business in their State of Retailing Online report.
When it comes to inserting tablets into their daily operations, the survey found 30 percent of respondents said a main objective for their mobile platform will be to provide store associates with tablets to improve selling.
Retailers understand the real value of a well-trained and educated store associate, and with high turn-over, it's a challenge to provide a consistent experience around complex categories like health and wellness. Giving associates access to additional information, product-level details, inventory updates, and other resources to help shoppers at the point of decision is a win-win for the store, as well as the shopper.
At Aisle7, we see tablet devices as a huge opportunity for our customers who want to help shoppers find the right product for their health goals while staying regulatory compliant. Customer demand is why we've developed our Aisle7 IN-STORE health and wellness content application for use on the iPad. We just made the announcement last month and already have orders coming in.
Deloitte forecasts that in 2011, 25% of all tablets will be bought for business, and retailers will lead all industries in their adoption. Will you be the first in your industry?

I have family in Texas and am thinking of going down for a visit for a couple of weeks. I have my CCW in Maine, but they do not reciprocate with Texas. I'm having a hard time finding info on the procedure for a non-resident permit in Texas. Is anyone here familiar enough with it to give me a brief run down? Also, I saw a suggestion on another forum that claimed if it the Texas procedure was too difficult, one could apply to a state that does reciprocate with Texas, then I'd be covered. Realistically, I'd like to be covered through all the states for my entire drive down there. How ridiculous it would be to have to stop at the border and keep getting my gun in & out of my trunk.

I've read that Florida and Texas have the most reciprocating states. As I recall, Florida was better in that it had more states reciprocating. Just my recollection. NRA's site has a good guide on this.
Florida has a recepial with more states than anyone else, I THINK, and you can get a Florida for a few bucks if you already have a CCW in another state. Might be worth checking out.

I have mine in Maine. I was going to go with Pennsylvania, because they've got a relative path of reciprocal states all the way down to and including Texas (and I've got relatives in PA also), but I will give Florida a look, too. Thank you for the suggestion. ETA: Crimies. I've been researching this non-resident carry permit for so many different states and it is downright depressing how complicated all these different states' laws are.
Check out Handgunlaw.us. There's an interactive map that will show you who reciprocates with a particular state. To the left, in the navigation bar, there's an option to create your own map. You can choose which states you have (or might get) permits in, and the map will show where you're covered. As I'm sure you already know, you're still responsible for obeying whatever laws are in place for each state (Excedrin headache number .45). The site also has pretty good information on state laws. But I would still try to find the statutes on each state's website, since those will be more up to date. Plus, it's just a pretty informative site all around.

10 steps to creating a really strong story. It sounds like a presentation trainer's cliche, but it's not.
In business presentations, the story is the thing. There's a skill and a structure to creating interesting and compelling narratives. A craft started in the verbal tradition by prehistoric man, developed by the ancient Greeks, sharpened by the French, the Italians, Spanish and British over centuries, is now made into a global, multi billion dollar industry by the Americans. Telling stories with a message is what people have always sought to do. The Seven Basic Plots: Why We Tell Stories by Christopher Booker « To Bed With a Trollope. This book has been defying my attempts to write a review it for the better part of a month and a half — but I think I've managed to emerge victorious at last.
The Seven Basic Plots: Why We Tell Stories by Christopher Booker It's a longstanding cliché that there are only really a handful of basic plots in the entire canon of Western literature. The cliché is so cliché that it's somehow gone past cliché and come right out the other side in the form of a 700-plus-page analytical study by former Spectator columnist and Private Eye founder Christopher Booker. Booker suggests that storytelling serves to pass along moral lessons and models from the older generation to their children and successors, and as a result the basic lessons have coalesced over time into seven basic symbolic 'plots' that have formed the primary model for storytelling into the present day.

Triadic and collaborative play by gorillas in social games with objects

Get AccessAbstract
Interaction with others over objects has until recently been thought lacking in the social play of non-human great apes, in contrast to that of children; even now, only bonobos have been observed to engage in social play involving objects. Human children's triadic interactions with objects involve joint attention, showing and giving, communication that maintains interaction, and sharing of emotions and experiences. We question assertions that chimpanzees, and non-human great apes in general, lack the key characteristics of children's collaborative play. Here, we show that zoo gorillas play games that are both triadic and collaborative. These games were videotaped at the San Francisco Zoo in five different years and involved five different pairings of gorillas. The context was in most cases playfully competitive, involving objects such as balls, bags and leather pieces as foci of joint attention; the ostensible goal in most games was to gain or keep possession of a particular object. In some episodes, roles as possessor or pursuer of an object were exchanged many times; in others, one gorilla retained possession of an object but encouraged pursuit from a partner. Through gaze and gesture, gorillas invited others to: share interest in and attention to objects; share patterns of play; and re-engage after breaks in play. Sometimes, gorillas would assist others in their efforts to engage in collaborative play: older gorillas encouraged younger partners by 'self-handicapping' their own actions. Collaborative games may occur later in the ontogeny of gorillas than in humans, and depend on the challenges and artifacts available in a particular group's habitat.

It has been awhile since we check in with Perth, Australia-based, and former April 2010 cover artist, Charlie Isoe, but we were looking at his old cover image in our office yesterday and thought... damn, Charlie is a talented painter. The works always felt full of energy, ideas, command, but also loose and exploratory. Although he hasn't shown in a few years, we expect something interesting whenever Isoe has a new body of work.

[Android] Notegraphy is like Instagram, but for sharing texts and notes
Posted By Kent On May 26, 2014 @ 4:07 PM In Android | No Comments
[1]As you can notice, Instagram may be a community for sharing brilliant photos but it has also become a place where you can find a lot of funny and inspiring texts and quotes. Now, wouldn't it be great if there's a separate app for that? Say, for example, an app that would feature its own community for people who shares the same interest in typography and quotes. Well, that is exactly what the Notegraphy app does.
Main Functionality
Notegraphy is a unique text and note sharing app for web, iOS and Android. However, this review will focus more on the features and functionality of its Android app.
With Notegraphy, you can transform your plain texts and quotes into magnificent artworks. It features more than thirty (30) styles that you can freely use to modify or enhance your text's design and layout. So if Instagram is all about adding photo filters, this app is all about adding text styles. Furthermore, this app also serves as a community where you can discover and follow a lot of talented typography artists and graphic designers.
[3]So far, I haven't encountered any other app that flaunts the same features as Notegraphy so I can say that it's quite unique. What I like about this app is that focuses more on texts and notes instead of images and photographs.
The way how this app works is also very simple. If you're already using Instagram or any other photo sharing app, then you won't have any difficulty using this as its core concept and layout is pretty similar. It's just that instead of taking and sharing photos, you get to write texts (or notes) and showcase them to others by applying different styles. Simply put, I can say that this app is most suited for sharing quotes, book excerpts, short stories, rants, ideas and even your random thoughts. It also features a lot of beautiful and creative text styles such as Classic, Candy, Totem, Mag, Paper, Haiku, Calm, Vinyl, Tipsy, etc. As of now, the app's latest version features more than thirty different text styles so you have enough choices and you can even add multiple pages to your texts or notes.
Other than this, Notegraphy also has a social aspect wherein its users are free to interact with each other. Once you join the Notegraphy community, you get to have your own public profile where you can showcase your artistic texts and notes. You can also follow others and say "thanks" for their notes.
Speaking of which, the "say thanks for" feature is similar to "like" or "favorite" but the main difference is that you get to specify the reason why you're saying thanks to the original poster. Like, for example, you can say thanks for the smile, story, mindtrip, help, laugh or inspiration. However, unlike other social sharing apps, you cannot post your comments to these notes but you can share these notes to other apps or sites such as Facebook, Instagram, Google Plus and Twitter.
All in all, I can say that Notegraphy has a lot of potential. Right now, it still doesn't have a massive amount of users in its community but I really believe that it can serve as a great platform for typography artists, graphic designers and writers to showcase their works. It can also become a suitable place for finding and sharing quotes.
Of course, the app is still far from perfect but it is very stable and responsive. It also flaunts a neat and user-friendly UI. It's just that it could have been much better if it supports landscape mode. Aside from this, the app won't allow its users to search and explore by typing specific tags or keywords.
Notegraphy for Android is a very promising app. I like the fact that it dares to go beyond the typical photo sharing concept. It also serves as a very suitable platform for sharing notes, stories and quotes. So if you still haven't tried this app, go ahead and check it out.

Standard Fare By: AriReview posted on: 2010-11-03 04:25:44 -0400 For complying with the FDA, and not actually being a drug like Stim-X, what they've managed to do it pretty good as far as mood enhancement, however, id like to have seen less caffiene and more of whatever else was in there. The stuff is not too strong, i was expected it to be pretty strong, ended up going from one tab to two tabs quickly. I think its a good product but not a mind-blowing product. Spirodex- GASPARI By: ChrisReview posted on: 2010-12-07 16:22:49 -0500 Have not used a product of Gaspari as to date, but after using Spirodex, i can see why its a well reknowned brand. Good stuff. You can really feel the heat turn on especially if taking a second in the early afternoon which is when i take mine for endurance running and training. Felt Great By: JohnReview posted on: 2010-11-24 20:40:03 -0500 Felt really good while using this. I only had a few samples to try but I will be getting a bottle soon. It will be great to lose some weight after the holidays. |

If you need to detect the version of freetype in use, include FT_FREETYPE_H and conditionalise on the values of FREETYPE_MAJOR, FREETYPE_MINOR, and FREETYPE_PATCH. In this case, even this is unnecessary. The correct fix is to include the freetype headers in the way expected by freetype. This is what I have done in r10591. J.

SCSU Bicycle Self Service Repair Stations
Bikers riding on the SCSU campus now have the opportunity to fix their bikes with the installation of two new Bicycle Self Service Repair Stations.
Now any cyclist can perform multiple bike repairs or adjustments without having special equipment or space. Each station will also have an integrated bike pump with a pressure gauge to ensure that proper tire pressure can be maintained.
The stations are located outside, to the left, of the main entrance to the Atwood Memorial Center and directly across from the tennis courts outside the Student Recreation Center.
These stations are another step towards the campus becoming more bicycle friendly and supporting human powered transportation.

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"This invitation design is stunning. My daughter has a "nature" theme and this is perfect. I can't wait to see it with her name on it!!"
"Paper quality of the whole suite is fantastic, colors are beautiful and they look even better than they did online. Delivered way earlier than the date on my order notification. Highly recommend!!"
"I chose these in the Winterberry color and they were GORGEOUS!!! They have a nice texture to them and a very good color variation that adds depth to their appearance as well. I liked that I was able to change the wording to fit our situation and the fonts to express our own style! I then used a bit of lace and ribbon to tie the invitations and the response cards all together! I also ordered the gold envelopes to accompany them and they were a very rich color. The only problem I had with anything was that on about half of the envelopes I had to glue the side flap because they had not been glued. Worked out just fine. I love my invitations and would definitely order with confidence from here again. Oh! on another note! I got my order about 10 days before the initial "scheduled to arrive date". AWESOME! Thanks!!! So far everyone has loved them!"
"This is the card we have chosen for our autumn wedding! (in the autumn colors). We are still in the final phases of the personalization and customization, but we received a sample and the paper is lovely! We were able to get a color change on the autumn leaves, and every aspect of our work with our personal custom designer has been so easy and prompt. She made several excellent suggestions, most of which we accepted and appreciated. I think Wedding Paper Divas is a wonderful company, just as wonderful as Shutterfly!!"
"We used the Cabernet color for our fall wedding invitations. I love that they appear incredibly expensive without breaking the bank. The paper stock is exceptional, and I love the texture of the cards - it's classy and timeless without being stuffy. I have friends who have paid out their eyes for custom invitations at a printer who were unhappy with the results, had multiple issues along the way, etc... not us! We customized text, changed the fonts and sizes, and altered spacing to put more information on the front. The design team at WPD was there 100% and seemed to intuitively know what we wanted to accomplish. My mother, who was initially skeptical about using an online service for wedding invitations, cannot resist pulling our invitations out to look at them. These invitations are elegant and incredibly impressive - I can't wait for our guests to receive them!"

Last night I saw Jenna for the first time since Jane had made the big confession at cooking class. And boy, was it ever weird.
"Hey guys," I said when I came in, trying to sound cheerful and normal and being acutely aware that I sounded neither. I sounded more like a game show host that was going to start screaming at someone the second they cut to commercial.
"Oh hey," she said, as if she'd just noticed I was there and hadn't seen me walk in.
We did our prep work in uncomfortable silence. It was excruciating. I decided to mess up filleting a flounder, which forced Jenna to help me.
Jenna fixed the mess as best as she could. John-with-the-Baseball-Hat called me a bonehead, and we all laughed. It lightened the mood but things still weren't 100 percent. Barely 75.
Chef Granger let us out early, after another student stunk up the room with burnt flounder. Jenna rushed off and I vowed to myself to chat with her later so things wouldn't be so awkward next time.
Before I left, John-With-The-Baseball-Hat asked, "Hey, how's Suburbs Guy?"
"MIA." (Gosh, I just love telling a guy I rejected that now I'm the one being blown off...)
"Loser. Well, he has 30 days to show up before I ask you out," he said.
I half-heartedly laughed and left, surprised to see Jenna waiting outside. She asked if I wanted to grab a drink, so while we walked the half block to the bar, I told her about Suburbs Guy. She agreed with Jon-the-Baseball-Hat's assertion that he's a loser. When we got to the bar, she said she had waited for me after class because she knew we had to have a girl talk.
"So," I said, taking a sip of my beer, "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I wanted to so many times," she said. "But Jane made me promise not to."
I understood, but it bums me out. I mean, Jenna's new. Jane and I have been friends for years. Why would Jane be the one who wants to keep secrets from Sarah and I? Did she think we couldn't handle it? That we'd judge her? This isn't Judge Judy or some courtroom "drama"...we're her friends! Oh well, not everyone is ready to be put on trial, so maybe Jane just needed time before telling us the truth...

@Mor - I knew a family where there was a gene that meant that several of them would slowly lose their cognitive abilities, until they were essentially mindless. They all signed the irrevocable power of attorney form to put their legal rights into a family member's hands before the end was even close, because they knew by the time they were starting to lose their minds, it would already be too late.
I hope I'm never faced with that kind of situation, but unfortunately, it's a growing problem for everyone, since people live so much longer they have time to develop these kinds of conditions.

Charlene Aitchison has spent nine years cooking up success in the kitchens of West Highland College UHI in Fort William, going from student to top job as senior chef/lecturer.
Charlene, from Claggan, first entered catering as a baker at Nevis Range, attending the then Lochaber College to gain her basic certificates while still at work. She later became a full-time student, gaining further, more advanced modules, before joining the kitchen tutoring team.
She has worked for several years alongside previous college chefs, as catering assistant and chef trainer. Charlene has not only trained full-time and part-time catering students and high school pupils on weekly placement but also played an active role in running the training kitchen, planning and delivering a varied menu for the public.
Over the years Charlene has also run various evening classes in food preparation, baking and cake-decorating which have proved popular and attracted a large number of people.
She said: "It was only when I started work at Nevis Range that I discovered my interest in catering and when I came to the college I realised the opportunities in the industry and the possibilities to advance through gaining qualifications and building experience.
"I am delighted to take up this new post at the college and am really looking forward to working with everyone, especially the new students who will be starting when the new term gets under way."

Your 15 Step Guide for Becoming a Locavore
Locavore Fruits and VegetablesLocavores are people who make a serious effort to understand where their food comes from, and then make the effort to eat locally produced food as much as possible. This certainly does not have to be an all-or-nothing venture. Following our "15 Step Program " will help support your local small farmers as well as your local economy. The added benefits of protecting your family's health and discovering the fabulous flavor of locally grown produce are merely "icing on the cake".
1) Buy a copy of Barbara Kingsolver's book entitled Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life and also Michael Pollan's book The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals. These will help you gain a better perspective of food outside your supermarket's shelf and what is involved before it gets there.
2) Sign up as a user on Locavorenetwork! You can find local growers, restaurants, stores, and farmers markets near you by using the search box located in the upper right hand corner of your screen. Additionally, you can participate in a forum specific to your state, find what product is available and when, find selection tips for choosing the best fruits and vegetables, and if you are lucky,a grower close to you will invite you to join their "Spotlight group".
3) Determine exactly what "local" means for you. There really is no hard and fast definition of what comprises a "food-shed", obviously someone living in central California can make different choices than someone living in the mountains of Montana. Many locavores start by trying to eat within a 100-mile radius of their homes, but depending upon where you live you may need to include a much larger area. The important thing is to become conscious of your food's origin. To locate locally grown produce, meat, wine, restaurants, farmers markets or retail stores close to you, enter any combination of terms into our search box located in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
4) Visit a farmers' market. Farmers' markets are one method of marketing and sales that help keep small farms in business. Rather than marketing their crops through a distributor, selling at a farmer's market allows the local growers to make a larger percentage of profit. The caveat here is to be sure you are actually buying from a true farmers market. If you are at a fruit stand in Minnesota that is offering bananas, or cantaloupe and corn in the winter, they are simply buying produce from a wholesale distributor..unfortunately these are often the most un-safe of places to buy fresh produce. Want to find a market near you? Use the search box in in the upper right hand corner of your screen.
5) Get to know the store manager, produce manager or meat manager at your supermarket, and ask them where their produce is grown or where their meat comes from. Let the staff at your grocery store know what's important to you!
6) Identify and choose foods in your house that you can buy locally. Rather than trying to make a huge change in your diet or shopping pattern all at one time, try choosing just one or two locally grown ingredients for each meal. Our availability guides show you what fresh produce is generally available (and when) in each state. Every State has a growing season that provides fresh fruits and vegetables as well as cheeses, wines, milk, eggs and poultry - all grown, harvested or produced close to your home.
7) Find a local CSA here on LocavoreNetwork and sign-up! If there are none close to you, post an ad in our Classified Ads section or in your State's forum. A CSA is typically comprised of one or more producers and a group of consumers. The producer(s) agrees to provide produce (vegetables, fruit, meat, flowers, etc.) to the consumers who have purchased a share in the CSA. The cost of a share is a portion of the farmer's cost of production plus a living wage. As an example, if the cost of production is estimated at $20,000 and the living wage is estimated to be $25,000, then a share in a CSA with 150 members would be $300. In return, each CSA member receives 1/150 of the year's production in the form of a weekly share of the harvest.
8) Dine at restaurants that support local farmers. Ask your favorite restaurant about their ingredients, or ask your favorite farmers what restaurant accounts they sell product to. Be sure to support the businesses that support your local farmers.
9) Buy from local vendors. If you are having difficulty finding products that are locally grown, how about "locally produced"? Every state and many counties within the state have a regional food specialty that is produced locally. Using the search functionality on Locavore Network, you can find locally produced sauces, seasonings, jams, jellies and many other food product created with locally grown ingredients. Purchasing these products helps support the local economy.
10) Ask about origins. If you've found that one of your favorite foods is not locally grown, find out where it is from. Contact the producer or manufacturer to inquire about where the ingredients are from and let them know that you value locally grown and produced products.
11) Host a "Local" Easter or Thanksgiving by making a dish or an entire meal from locally grown or produced foods. Go one step further an host a "Local" Sunday meal for your friends, and invite the grower(s) to join you.
12) Get to know your local County Extension Agent. They are a wealth of information on local agriculture, know the local growers, and are a fantastic resource for your gardening questions. To find an office close to you, go to the State Information menu at the top of the page, scroll to your State and open the page. Each State specific page has the link to County Extension locations and contact information.
13) Visit a farm. Locate a farm near you via a search here on Locavore Network. Contact the farmer to see if they would be willing to let you visit them. If time allows, many farmers are happy to show a family or a group around their farm. When you visit, ask the farmers what challenges they have had and how they market theur product. Find out what areas they might need help with and if there is anything you or your network might be able to help them with.
14) Grow your own. The ultimate Locavore concept is to eat product from your own garden. if you don't have room for a traditional garden, consider container gardening, square foot gardening, community gardening or growing vegetables hydroponically. Find more information and links by clicking on the hyperlink at the beginning of this paragraph.
15) Preserve a local food for the winter. Once the harvest season is drawing to a close, to help you get through the winter, try your hand at the art of preserving by making applesauce, apple butter, etc. One of the websites we really like for tips on preserving food is at Preserve Food.

Genetic Hair Loss: Treatments and Testing
Throughout our history societally speaking the common changes that occur in individuals as we age have been subject to very critical opinion. Our media-obsessed and advertising-saturated culture focuses on perceived physical ideals of youth, slimness and esthetic perfection. These are standards that no one can live up to not even the models presented to embody these ideals. And in all of this one particular issue comes to the forefront for most people: hair loss.
Hair loss is an issue that affects most men and women. According to studies, 35 percent of men will experience noticeable hair loss some hair loss by the age of 35, and 60 percent of women will have noticeable hair loss by the age of 65. The common cause of this is a condition called androgenic alopecia. It is predominantly a genetic trait and can be exacerbated by other physical, health and environmental factors.
Such hair loss is not universally seen. Androgenic Alopecia is most common among Caucasian men. Next in line for the condition are those of Asian extract, followed by African Americans. Persons of Native American descent (as well as Eskimos) have the lowest rate of occurrence for androgenic alopecia. And while women arent quite as commonly affected by this condition, some 13 percent of pre-menopausal women have shown evidence of the condition, and as many as 75 percent of women over 65 show signs of it.
Until very recently (historically speaking) the only options for dealing with the hair loss caused by androgenic alopecia were acceptance or concealment. Men and women who suffered such hair loss were forced to either come to terms with going bald, or find some way to hide the loss of hair. This led to some unfortunate looks for some people. Bad comb-overs and fake-looking toupees topped the list of the greatest offenses.
Then around 30 years ago, a drug that was being used to treat high blood pressure was found to cause new growth of hair in men with androgenic alopecia. It eventually began being used for this secondary ability as a primary treatment. It was applied topically and gave good success to many individuals. A few decades later, a drug being used for the treatment of enlarged prostate in men, was seen to have a similar result in regrowing hair in men with androgenic alopecia. In 1997, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the drug for the treatment of androgenic alopecia. This drug, called finasteride, gained popularity because it was an oral medication and had greater ease of use therefore.
The greatest problem with these treatments is the fact that they are long-term and must be continued indefinitely to maintain the results you achieve. If the medications are discontinued, the benefits gained will go away within six to twelve months. And in the case of finasteride, there has been no evidence that it has any benefit to women regarding hair loss. In fact, women are discouraged from handling finasteride, particularly if they are or plan to become pregnant as the drug can be absorbed through the skin and can cause defects in male fetuses.
A secondary issue is that the use of finasteride has different levels of effectiveness for different male individuals. And some men may undertake the expense of long-term treatment and maintenance only to find they get no benefit from the drug.
In spite of these ominous warnings, finasteride has seen increased popularity as a hair loss treatment. Advances in genetic testing have enabled scientists to devise a test to determine the likelihood of androgenic alopecia in individuals (both men and women). And further studies have led to the development of genetic testing to determine how well finasteride will work for an individual.

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- If you are looking to remodel or redecorate, the Maricopa County Home & Garden Show is the place to be this weekend.
Hundreds of vendors provide shoppers with tips, demonstrations and products to remodel any and every room in their home.
Guests can watch demonstrations by Debbie Hernandez, the Home Depot "How To" expert, throughout the weekend and gain some advice on home improvement topics with "Rosie on the House".
"We do a lot of special features at this show," said Home Show manager Katie Jones.
The special features are one of the reasons the show has become such a huge success. Jones said they expect between 25,000 to 30,000 people.
Aside from the DIY demonstrations and other products and services offered at the show, guests can enjoy wine tastings and even a chance to be on "Wheel of Fortune".
"A lot of times the Wheel Mobile is a standalone event," said David Strathearn, the director of marketing and promotions for "Wheel of Fortune". "This time we're attached to a little bit larger event which also has its merits…they'll have a good 'Wheel of Fortune' experience and a good home and garden experience."
Strathearn says it's all about stage presence and attitude for those wanting to be on the show.
"It's supposed to be fun so we're just looking for those fun, energetic, enthusiastic contestants."
The Home & Garden show is also working with Maricopa County Animal Care and Control (MCACC), their March home show benefactor.
A "Mutt Strut" fashion show will feature dogs big and small that are looking for a home. Pets three months and older are $17 and cats are free.
Attendees can also get a free ticket into the show by donating any shelter-related items to MCACC.
The show will be at the University of Phoenix Stadium until Sunday March 3.
Adult admission is $5. Children 3-12 are $2. Admission is free for children 2 and under.
For more information visit the Maricopa Country Home & Garden website.


text: Here in Greece the ENR was screened before longer films, something like a "trailer". That was functional, so the 30 minutes edition was useful to us. Every 3 to 4 newsreals we made a DVD compilation and distributed it to people. That was working well too. My opinion is that 4 one-hour editions every year is an interesting idea. But i think that the clips should be longer, because 12 or more 5 minute clips would be crazy for the viewer. We could switch to 10 min videos, or even longer, with more background info and a slower pace. We had problems when producing our segments to fit in the 5-min limit, and that resulted in very fast montage and less background info on the subjects. This is just an idea, but i think that this way the newsreal could stand alone as an informative screening. But even as it is now, i think it is worth continuing. By the way, we will resend the clip for ENR#16, to the "safe" address Mick sent. We understand, because we had similar problems with ENR#14 :-( Ciao ILias from Kinimatografos Mick Fuzz wrote: >also - > >I was also wondering how may people actually use it as >an "edition" which they show from beginning to end. > >If this is not huge then we could reduce the >frequency, and increase the time. > >Perhaps one hour every quarter of a year. > >And also now that DVD burners are more common, >releasing it on DVD, making sure that the contributers >are aware of that. > >cya >mick > >===== >---------/another day of social change/------------ >Whenever you see darkness, there is extraordinary >opportunity for the light to burn brighter. - Bono >He's not the messiah.

4 FM quick reads on UPS
1. UPS can protect power supply
Today's tip is to consider online uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) to protect data centers. Generators can offer long-term protection from interrupted service, but only a UPS can protect against many common faults in power systems.
An online UPS has three components: a charger/rectifier, storage batteries, and a power inverter. Incoming alternating current from the utility enters the charger/rectifier, which converts it to direct current. This direct current charges the batteries and supplies power to the inverter, which converts the direct current back to alternating current. In systems that provide power for loads in extended outages, a generator typically is connected to the batteries.
The UPS supplies power to the loads continuously, no matter what happens to the utility power. But taking alternating current from the utility, converting it to direct current and back to alternating current also eliminates most power disturbances, including noise, transients, and voltage fluctuations.
Passive-standby systems provide the lowest level of protection and are the least expensive of the three. These off-line systems monitor incoming power and switch to a battery source when an interruption occurs. This transfer takes place in milliseconds and is acceptable for some computer-based applications. But the loss of power during the transfer can disrupt some sensitive electronic equipment. These UPS also do not filter power-line noise or voltage spikes or sags, so their use is limited largely to desktops or similar systems not performing critical tasks.
Line-interactive systems insert a transformer or an inductor between the power source and the connected equipment, and a bank of batteries helps condition and filter incoming power. The systems offer more protection than passive-standby but do not offer enough protection for mission-critical operations, such as data centers.
Double-conversion systems are true online UPS. They eliminate the momentary loss of power found in the other two types of UPS by using a bank of batteries connected to the direct-current part of the system. They fully isolate protected equipment from the power source, thereby eliminating most power disturbances. Run times range from 15 minutes to as long as the generator's fuel lasts.
2. UPS: A Maintenance Checklist
This is Chris Matt, Managing Editor of Print & E-Media with Maintenance Solutions magazine. Today's tip is a checklist for uninterruptible power supply (UPS) maintenance.
The lifespan of UPS batteries is typically three-five years, depending on conditions and maintenance. At that time, technicians must replace them to ensure the unit operates properly. Keeping tabs on indicators of problems can ensure uninterrupted service to the equipment and facility operations, and, in many cases, a healthier bottom line.
Fortunately, many newer UPS have advanced monitoring systems that provide system status for such items as system voltage, battery back-up time, and battery test schedule.
Many systems can remotely alert technicians if a problem occurs. This information can be especially helpful if technicians monitor the facility remotely. Technicians also must test physical equipment quarterly, semi-annually, or annually using a specific checklist of items to cover. The schedule should include:
• conducting visual inspections for wear and deterioration of battery and insulation components
• cleaning and vacuuming the enclosure
• monitoring the enclosure's temperature and humidity
• performing thermal heat scans, which can indicate hot spots that often are the first sign of component failure
• testing other electrical-system components, such as transfer switches, circuit breakers, and maintenance bypasses.
3. Power Management: Common UPS Technology
This is Chris Matt, Managing Editor of Print & E-Media with Maintenance Solutions magazine. Today's tip is understanding four common uninterruptible power supplies (UPS).
When the time comes to change a UPS, managers have a number of options from which to choose, and the choice will depend on the facility's current equipment and future needs. Common UPS technologies include:
Flywheel UPS. If managers use a UPS in conjunction with a generator system, the flywheel might be a good option. It packs enough inertia to carry the critical loads through a power outage for a short period — normally 10-20 seconds — until the generator has started, stabilized, and picked up the required loads.
True online UPS. This type of UPS — sometimes referred to as double conversion or double-conversion online — provides a high level of reliability for large servers, data centers, and large, sensitive equipment. Under normal operation, it runs continually off the battery via the inverter, and the line power runs the battery charger. For a true online UPS, there is no transfer time upon the loss of utility power.
Standby online hybrid. This UPS — also sometimes referred to as double conversion on demand — is similar to a true online UPS but with higher energy efficiency. The significant difference is standby online hybrid UPS loads are served directly from utility power, as long as the power is within acceptable tolerances.
Line-interactive UPS. This UPS continually conditions and regulates alternating-current utility power to equipment via a power converter. If the utility power fails or falls outside the input range of the power converter, the UPS battery will support the loads via an inverter.
4. Data Centers and HVAC Setpoints
I'm Brandon Lorenz, senior editor for Building Operating Management magazine. Today's tip: Cooling in the data center.
When it comes to improving the efficiency of data centers, one of the first thing data center managers think of is airflow. And that makes sense because most data centers aren't the most airtight. But there are other opportunities for improvement too. The HVAC system and central plant is another logical place to look.
Consider an existing data center, for example. Periodically check the setpoints of the central plant to make sure they match the load of the data center, because the load often evolves over time. It's not out of the ordinary for the chiller plant to be set for the baseline UPS load and never adjusted, even as the load doubles as more servers are added to the data center.
Secondly, take a look at the way temperature sensors and CRAC units are situated. Move temperature sensors to the supply air outlet to better regulate the temperature of air delivered to the cold aisles. Doing so may allow you to raise the temperature of supply air, improving efficiency.

GamesIndustry have published the results of a series of anonymous Wii-U developer surveys, all of which unanimously declare that the Wii-U just isn't up to the same level as it's direct console competition in the PS3 and Xbox 360.
"It's not up to the same level as the PS3 or the 360," one dev reports. "The graphics are just not as powerful."
Additionally, another is quoted as saying that "It doesn't produce graphics as well as the PS3 or the 360. There aren't as many shaders, it's not as capable. Overall the Wii U just can't quite keep up."
The controller tablet design has also come in for a bit of criticism.
"The whole thing about the tablet controller is that you only get one of them, and you can only use one and it's not completely independent," another remarked.
"The base console has to be on, and you have to be in range. Other controllers are just Wiimotes, or other Wii controllers. They may change the form factor or looks a bit, but it's the same controller."
The Wii-U is rumoured to be launching everywhere this November.
