Meaning & Origins

Current Recalls and Alerts
Retail Distribution Lists
FSIS has reason to believe that the retail locations listed received the recalled meat or poultry products described in the news release.
Lists may not include all retail locations that have received the recalled product or may include retail locations that did not actually receive the recalled product. Therefore, it is important that you use the product-specific identification information in the news release, in addition to this list of retail stores, to check meat or poultry products in your possession to see if they have been recalled.
For large volume recalls, it may take several days to assemble the initial list. Lists may be updated as additional information becomes available.
"No retail sales" indicates that no retailers were identified for the recall in question. For example, the product may have gone exclusively to restaurants and institutions, and in this case there would be no retailers in the distribution chain.
Finally, FSIS will provide lists when retail sales are associated with a Class I recall. There will be no distribution lists associated with Class II or Class III recalls.

Rays banking on Hernandez to slow Rangers
With something to prove coming into Spring Training, Roberto Hernandez has done nothing but impress the Rays and manager Joe Maddon in his first season with the club.
"He's feeling good about himself. He's shown great stuff. All through camp, he had really good stuff," Maddon said. "I'm always eager to watch this guy pitch."
Hernandez, a right-hander, made his first start with Tampa Bay on Thursday, allowing four earned runs in 6 2/3 innings in a loss to the Orioles. He also struck out seven and walked just two.
The Rays are hoping for a solid performance, when Hernandez takes the hill on Tuesday against the Rangers.
"That would be outstanding," Maddon said. "Just pound the zone with his fastball. Mixing his other pitches. Get the ground balls."
Hernandez will be up against Rangers right-hander Nick Tepesch, who will make his Major League debut after winning the job out of Spring Training.
Tepesch went 0-1 with a 6.50 ERA in five spring games (three starts). Starting for Triple-A Round Rock last Thursday, Tepesch worked five innings, allowing one unearned run on five hits in the win.
A 14th-round Draft pick out of the University of MIssouri, the right-hander went 11-6 with a 3.67 ERA in 28 Minor League games last season.
"The best thing we can do is let him go on out there and figure it out for himself," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "Just trust what he's got. We trusted it, that's why he's here."
Rays: Chirinos traded to Rangers
Catcher Robinson Chirinos was traded to the Rangers on Monday for a player to be named or cash considerations.
Chirinos was designated for assignment on March 31, when the Rays set their Opening Day roster. The 28-year-old didn't play last season, as he worked his way back from a concussion sustained when he took a foul tip off his mask last Spring Training.
Chris Gimenez, Triple-A Durham's starting catcher, should be next in line to fill in for Jose Molina or Jose Lobaton if either is injured.
Rangers: Darvish not expected to miss time
While Yu Darvish left his Sunday start against the Angels after just five innings because of a blister, he's still expected to make his next start.
"We'll take care of it," Washington said before Monday night's series opener with Tampa Bay. "It came apart in the fifth. "He always wants to continue, but he doesn't have anything to prove to us, so we shut him down. He could have taken the ball and gone out there, and probably got through the [sixth] inning, but maybe there would have been more damage."
• Left-hander Matt Harrison came out of his last start on Saturday against the Angels with lower back pain and hasn't been back on the field for the last two days as he undergoes treatment. However, he's still expected to make his next start at Seattle on Thursday.
Worth noting
• Texas won its first two series of the season, marking the third straight year the team has done so.
• Hernandez is 2-8 with a 5.37 ERA in 12 career starts against Texas, but he is 2-2 with a 3.73 ERA in five starts at Rangers Ballpark.

Summer Habitat
Students, faculty, and staff involved in Habitat for Humanity returned to the Eastern Shore of Virginia—where they spent the previous Fall Break—for a summer workday.
Habitat for Humanity Spring 2012
Thirty-five members of the Washington College community spent their spring break week
building a house in Columbus, GA
, as part of
Habitat for Humanity
's Collegiate Challenge Program in a partnership with
NeighborWorks Columbus
. This was the College program's 13th alternative Spring Break trip, and 31 students (roughly 2% of the student body), three staff members, and one faculty member made the journey, as the largest Collegiate Challenge team fielded by Washington College yet.
Habitat for Humanity Spring 2013
The Spring 2013 Habitat team embarked on an adventure completely different from their previous trips. This year was fraught with challenges from the beginning, when the team learned that they would not be able to build in Columbus, GA as they have in past years and would have to find somewhere new. After months of planning, the officers found a place for the team in Albany, GA. Habitat for Humanity International graciously opened up some of their housing in Americus, GA. The team worked in Albany for four days alongside other groups from Juniata College and Ashland University. The three schools formed bonds as they worked on two handicap-accessible homes. The WAC team traveled back to Columbus on Thursday night to work with Columbus Area Habitat for a day, finishing homes that they had worked on during the Spring 2012 trip. Before returning home, the group was finally able to attend their first dedication ceremony for the home of Albert and Patricia Hartman, whose home the team worked on in Spring 2012.

Joan Ferencz' Beef Goulash |
From Recipes Remembered by June Hersh Joan's cooking style was not very Hungarian as she embraced an American lifestyle, always cooking wholesome food, nothing from a can. However, one dish she remembers from her childhood was a very pure and authentic Hungarian goulash made simply with seasoned beef in slow simmered broth and thinly sliced potatoes that soften as they cook away in the robust sauce. When slow cooking, don't be tempted to use a higher quality cut of meat, the cheaper cuts work better as their extra fat helps the meat melt into assertive flavorful bites. Ingredients: 2 pounds beef chuck or shank, cut into 2-inch pieces Directions: Pat the meat dry with a paper towel and season with salt, pepper and sweet paprika. Dredge the beef in the flour (potato starch), shaking off the excess. Heat the oil in a medium size Dutch oven or deep covered sauté pan and brown the beef, (in batches if necessary), over medium heat, for several minutes. When the meat begins to brown, add the sliced onions, continue to cook and stir, over medium heat, until the beef and onions are nicely brown, about 10 minutes longer. Stir in the broth, cover and cook over low heat, for one hour. After one hour, add the sliced potatoes and season to taste with salt and pepper. For an extra kick, add hot paprika. Cover and continue to cook until the potatoes and beef are tender, about 30 minutes. If the sauce is too thick, add additional broth or water. Notes: Yields: 4 servings Start to Finish: Under 2 hours Feedback Recipes: Meat, Beef, Hungarian Goulash, Passover Friendly, Kosher |

Interesting comments... many contributed by obvious Chinese "trolls" with nothing better to do than vaunt the empty achievements of the CCP.
Let's not forget the Chinese invasion of Tibet incurred the loss of over 1.2 Million Tibetan lives, and the destruction of over 95% of Tibet's monasteries.
And then the Cultural Revolution destroyed even more of Tibet's heritage. Why don't the Chinese stay home and just smash up their own country? Or choke on your own smog.
Mao forever, Comrades!!
(And let's not forget the Diaoyu (Senkaku) islands belong to Japan...)

Heads up everyone for the afternoon. The winds should be northerly in the morning, but then it looks like we are going to see light and variable winds move in during the afternoon.
Its going to be warm out today, which is awesome, but the onshore sea breeze possibility is making the winds difficult to predict today. I'm personally thinking there should be some farily clean surf for the afternoon with light onshore breezes and maybe a glass off before dark as the air cools.
The tide comes in all afternoons, so it should be fun.

Baltimore Ravens running back Bernard Pierce (30) runs past San Francisco 49ers inside linebacker NaVorro Bowman (53) in Super Bowl XLVII. / Robert Deutsch, USA TODAY Sports
Baltimore Ravens running back Bernard Pierce is "doing OK" after he was the victim of a carjacking in Philadelphia last Sunday, his agent told USA TODAY Sports.
Marty Magid, Pierce's agent, said police in Philadelphia are continuing to investigate the crime, adding that Pierce's stolen BMW sports utility vehicle had been found and is being processed by police.
CBS 3 in Philadelphia, citing sources, first reported that Pierce had been robbed at gunpoint.
"It's just an unfortunate situation. He was just home after minicamp, in a good neighborhood, daylight. He was just grabbing a slice of pizza," Magid said. "They don't know if it's even NFL related. Might just be car related."
Pierce, who played college football at Temple, was not injured in the incident and is cooperating with police who are trying to find his assailant, Magid said.
Pierce was a backup running back to Ray Rice on the Baltimore Ravens' Super Bowl championship team last season as a rookie.

Twins eye second game behind Dozier's hot hitting
With Cabrera, Swisher out, Tribe's dependence on Aviles paying off
They aren't necessarily household names, but without Brian Dozier and Mike Aviles, respectively, the Twins and Indians aren't sure where they would be.
Minnesota manager Ron Gardenhire returned Dozier to the leadoff spot on Wednesday and the second baseman has rewarded his skipper ever since. Dozier has homered in three straight games and has tallied six RBIs over that span.
"He's being aggressive right now," Gardenhire said. "He's swinging, and that's, you know, he was kind of fighting balls and pushing balls and stuff like that before. Now, he's swinging, and we like that part."
Dozier's re-emergence at the top of the order has Gardenhire feeling confident about his lineup.
"Take a guy like [catcher Joe] Mauer, who's, whatever, 40 percent on-base, and then you get [Ryan] Doumit, who's been really swinging good, and [Justin Morneau] is getting his," Gardenhire said. "If we can get [Josh Willingham] going and start picking up his share of RBIs, you've got a pretty good bunch of guys right there that can do some damage and put some numbers up."
The Indians' lineup, meanwhile, is at less than full strength, with shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera and first baseman Nick Swisher, the club's No. 3 and No. 4 hitters, on the mend. Aviles has filled in admirably for Cabrera, batting .273 in 54 contests this season. Manager Terry Francona has penciled Aviles into the No. 2 hole in Cleveland's lineup.
"He's done a great job," Francona said. "That's the luxury of having a guy like Aviles. He steps in. It's hard for guys physically when they haven't been playing to play every day. It takes a toll, because you're not used to playing. Mikey hasn't missed a beat. We've not had to sit him one game because his legs are tired or dragging, or it looks like his bat is getting slow. He works so hard, and he understands the game. He's done a terrific job. The fact that we've been hitting him second says a lot."
Aviles played briefly for Francona in Boston in 2011. The Indians acquired Aviles over the winter in the team's first trade after hiring Francona. The skipper said that move was no accident.
"I told him before the year, I said, 'You're going to get your at-bats. You watch," Francona said. "We'll play against a lot of lefties and something will happen, and you'll play for a couple weeks here or there.' It never fails."
Aviles will take the field again on Saturday, one night after the Indians claimed the series opener, 5-1. Twins righty P.J. Walters (2-2, 3.23 ERA) will oppose Tribe right-hander and reigning co-American League Player of the Week Corey Kluber (5-4, 3.58 ERA).
Twins: Willingham contends he feels OK
• Willingham started in left field on Friday, six days after receiving a cortisone shot in his left knee. It was only his third start at the position -- he has mostly been serving as designated hitter -- since June 9, and the first time during that span that he has played the outfield on consecutive days.
The 34-year-old is batting .213 with 10 homers and 32 RBIs.
"He says he feels better, so we're just going to play him until he tells me he can't play," Gardenhire said. "He hasn't said that. He keeps coming in here and saying, 'I feel good. I'm fine. It's getting better.'"
Indians: Kluber seeking continued dominance
• Kluber won both of his starts last week, totaling 16 innings, during which he allowed only one run on 13 hits. He blanked the Nationals for eight frames on Sunday, when he tallied eight strikeouts and didn't walk a batter. For his effort, he took home his first weekly award.
"I've been gaining confidence each time out, trying to build on the last one," Kluber said. "Just trying to pound the strike zone, really. Try to keep it simple, not make it too complicated."
Worth noting
• With his home run on Friday, Dozier surpassed his total of six from last season.
• In the month of June, Indians first baseman Mark Reynolds has four games with two hits and three games with one hit.

Achieving proper cleaning on the new ultra-soft carpeting is a function of proper height adjustment capability and a new function of variable airflow. Centec has identified two models of their power nozzle that provide proper height adjustment capabilities for ultra-soft carpeting and developed a steel wand system with variable airflow regulation selectable by the user.
Ultra Purpose with the CT22 power brush combines the new AFR wand system with the latest design of Centec's Quiet Drive power brush series. The new CT22 power brush incorporates many of the best features developed over three decades manufacturing the most popular powered vacuum nozzle. The CT22 power brush comes to the central vacuum industry with a strong track record of performance in portable vacuums and is already the fastest selling new power brush design for North America's largest portable canister vacuum manufacturer.
The CT22 is named the Swivel Clean for it's highly maneuverable quick release wand connection system. A full tilt and full swivel nozzle connector lets the user turn and drive the power brush from the handle with minimal effort. Steer the CT22 power brush when you want to clean. Vacuuming under and around furniture is fast and easy to navigate with the Swivel Clean powered nozzle. Along with the tilt and swivel ability the new wand connection features an extra large step-on quick release pedal for easy disconnection of the power wand and quick attachment of a hard floor brush. The CT22 features a full 14" cleaning path with brushed edge cleaning on both sides. The augured brush roller configuration and center mounted intake cleans evenly and the wide convex soft tire rear wheels provide low resistance on carpets and excellent tracking on hard floors.
Like all Quiet Drive power nozzle system the CT22 Swivel Clean offers a 4 level step-on height adjustment for cleaning all styles of floor coverings. The height setting indicator window is easy to read from the users cleaning position behind the nozzle, located on top of the power brush next to the push button belt reset button. The Swivel Clean's ribbed belt drive system is protected with an integrated protection circuit to prevent breaking the belt should large objects be pulled into the rotating brush. The CT22 protects itself and furniture from dings and scuffs with a wide soft bumper and the forward looking headlight will illuminate the cleaning path to help the vacuum user from driving over objects in the cleaning area.
The CT22 features the popular Quiet Drive brush system that operates with lower noise while using a powerful 2.4 amp drive motor to increase brush rotational speed and torque. The Swivel Clean power brush provides efficient deep cleaning performance and excellent one-pass cleaning when coupled with the high performance of a central cleaning system. With quality features including a solid core roller, ball bearing construction and ribbed belt driver system the CT22 provides for reliable cleaning and easy use.
The new AFR wand system provides variable airflow relief for cleaning high density heavy weight (70+ ounce) ultra soft carpeting. The suction power of most central vacuums is 2x or up to 5x greater than most portable vacuums. This can cause an issue with ultra-soft carpet vacuuming where the suction may seal the vacuum nozzle to the thick carpet. With standard plush carpeting the extra suction of most central vacuum systems is dispersed by the vacuum nozzle without any requirements or actions needed by the vacuum user. For ultra soft carpeting the vacuum user will need to adjust the AFR wand system to alleviate the extra suction not needed by the carpet nozzle for the high density flooring.
The Centec Ultra-Purpose CVS attachment kit allows the vacuum user to select the airflow through the vacuum nozzle for easy cleaning of all carpet and hard floor types. The AFR regulator is simple to set and change while your cleaning without requiring you to stop for adjustments. Easily move from hard floor surfaces to standard plush carpeting, large area rugs and even heavy weight ultra-soft carpeting with quick changes to the AFR wand system.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture and Departments of Natural Resources of multiple states have issued warnings against Heracleum mantegazzianum, known as the giant hogweed.
The plant, which has huge leaves, hairy stems and "towering, umbrella-shaped white flowers" that bloom in late spring and can grow up to five meters tall. It is a relative of carrots and parsnips, but the resemblance is small: the giant hogweed's sap is released when touched, and the toxic substance can make skin hypersensitive to the sun.
The sap can cause phytophotodermatitis, which can lead to blisters, scarring and discoloration, and leave skin sensitive to the sun for years. And "sap in the eyes can cause temporary or possibly permanent blindess," the U.S. Forest Service warns.
The problem, officials say, is that the plant has a lot of look alikes, including a similar but less harmful plant called cow parsnip and Queen Anne's Lace, that can make it very difficult to effectively eradicate.

Amazon/Associated Press
NEW YORK � A new TV commercial features a good-looking young woman on a beach vacation lounging next to a good-looking young man. He bemoans the glare on his iPad and she fills him in on the Kindle Paperwhite�s sun-friendly screen.
He clicks to buy one himself and suggests they celebrate with a drink.
�My husband�s bringing me a drink right now,� chirps she.
�So is mine,� smiles he as they turn and wave at their male loved ones sitting together at a tiki bar.
Welcome to the latest in gay imagery in mainstream advertising, where LGBT people have been waiting for a larger helping of fairness, or at least something other than punchlines and cliches.
While there are still plenty of those, something has happened in advertising over the last two or three years, nearly two decades after Ikea broke ground in the U.S. with a TV spot featuring a gay couple shopping for a dining room table � a spot that ran only once in New York and Washington, D.C., and was pulled after bomb threats to Ikea stores.
Today, gay and lesbian parents and their kids are featured � along with pitchwoman Ellen DeGeneres � in J.C. Penney ads. Same-sex couples have their own, advertised wedding registries at Macy�s and elsewhere and President Barack Obama offered his seal of approval by evolving into a supporter of gay marriage.
Two happy young men sit together eating at a dining table, with wine and romantic candlelight, in a section of a Crate & Barrel catalog marked �Us & Always.� And we made it through a Super Bowl without any gay jokes at commercial breaks � like the Snickers ad of several years ago featuring two men freaking out after kissing by accident while eating one of the candy bars.
Traditionally lagging behind TV and film content in terms of LGBT inclusion, advertisers in this country are facing considerably less trouble than they used to when taking on gay themes, observers said. Penney�s rebuffed critics and launched a lesbian-focused catalog ad for Mother�s Day that the company followed with a two-dads family � a real family � for Father�s Day.
DeGeneres, who married Portia de Rossi in 2008, continues as a CoverGirl in magazines. Also recently? A lesbian couple was treated to fireworks in a commercial � real ones flash on screen � for K-Y Intense, a personal lubricant that makes their moment or two more memorable. They�re shown spent and satisfied in bed, hair tussled. �Good purchase,� one says to the other.
Though Crate & Barrel declined comment for this story and Amazon didn�t respond to email requests for the same about the Kindle ad, LGBT-focused marketers and monitors think the Mad Men and Women of today�s Madison Avenue and the companies that employ them might finally be getting it.
Now, they hope, a greater degree of diversity in skin tone and ethnicity will follow.
�They�re no longer just targeting gay and lesbian people. They�re targeting people like my mom, who want to know that a company embraces and accepts their gay and lesbian family members, friends and neighbors,� said Rich Ferraro, a spokesman for the media watchdog group the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD).
Others, too, are celebrating the newfound bump in ad visibility, a mirror of cultural gains overall. It�s a boost that comes as the U.S. Supreme Court takes up oral arguments later this month in key challenges that could lead to further recognition of same-sex marriage and spousal benefits.
Bob Witeck, who consults for Fortune 100 companies on LGBT marketing and communications strategies, put the buying power of U.S. lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender adults at $790 billion last year. He estimated the U.S. LGBT adult population at 16 million, though others say their ranks could be as many as 25 million.
There�s no demographic evidence or social science that points to the LGBT segment as notably higher earning or wealthier than anybody else, though they�re often louder in protesting offensive ad messaging and loyal to brands and companies that support them.
�Things have changed significantly in terms of risk and reward,� Witeck said. �Businesses don�t view this as a risk model any longer.�
Particularly, he said, when it comes to portraying marriage.
�Marriage, at one time, was the third rail,� Witeck said. �That terrified companies. Most of this happened when the president said he supported marriage equality.�
A consumer lust for �truth-telling� isn�t lost on major advertisers, including those that once restricted themselves to trotting out gay-friendly fodder as one-offs when Pride Month and its multicolored flag flies freely each June.
One recent pride standout in advertising, restricted to digital markets, is an Oreo cookie with a mountain of multicolored filling.
The company fielded queries from consumers who thought it was available for purchase in stores. It wasn�t.
American Airlines, in 2010, ran outdoor advertising at bus stops and subway stations in New York showing two men on a beach with the slogan: �Here�s to his and his beach towels. Proud to support the community that supports us.�
Generally, Witeck said, putting a human face on gay couples and families in advertising is where much of the effort lands today.
�For the gay consumer and their families and friends, and lots and lots and lots of Americans, they expect to see those couples appear everywhere, but they don�t want them trotted out with a pride flag,� Witeck said. �Amazon didn�t ballyhoo the message. They just landed it.�
Mark Elderkin, CEO of the Gay Ad Network, which focuses on the LGBT niche market, said mainstream gay messaging has �passed the tipping point, where there�s more to gain than there is to lose� for advertisers.
While there are groups of �vocal antagonists,� he said more advertisers bolstered by broader media exposure for gay characters and storylines in non-ad content � �The New Normal,� �Modern Family,� �The Ellen DeGeneres Show,� CNN�s out-of-the-closet anchorman Anderson Cooper � have explored nontraditional families and included LGBT imagery in �normal� settings.
�It seems to be moving quickly forward. It�s companies that want to be more on the leading edge, more for the next generation of this country,� Elderkin said. �It�s not your parents� brand anymore. It�s your brand and your kids� brand.�

Seventeen-year-old Nanaka Kirisato has it all: she's beautiful, she's bright, and she's at the top of her class. But somewhere along the way, Nanaka lost touch with her classmates - including her best friend Nenji - who think she's become an arrogant snob!
One day, in the midst of an argument with Nenji, Nanaka falls down a flight of stairs and gets seriously injured. The diagnosis is acute amnesia, and now Nanaka thinks she is six years old - and a magical princess! To add to the fun, she believes that Neji also made a wish to become an adult. Let the magical misunderstandings commence!

Cardinals win on late basket
Ben Bunkers' late game heroics lifted the fans off their seats and the Cardinals past the Raiders Thursday night in Dell Rapids.St. Mary watched a seven-point fourth quarter lead slip, and Oldham Ramona-Rutland had the Cardinals reeling late. With less than 10 seconds left to play, a Raider three-pointer gave ORR a 61-60 advantage. Bunkers took the inbound pass the length of the floor before being fouled on a successful layup attempt. He converted on the and-one opportunity, and the Cardinals enjoyed a two-point lead with four seconds left.ORR turned the ball over on the last play.Cardinals head coach Pete Schmidt said his team fed off of an energetic crowd all game long."Our fans were the sixth man tonight," he said. "It was great to have their vocal support." Matt Farmer led the Cardinal offense with 17 points. Bunkers add 11 and Jared Scholten nine for St. Mary. Other scorers for St. Mary were Mitch Brown (7), Ethan Schmidt (6), Nathan Klein (5), Noah Fiegen (4), Christian Schnieders (2) and Mitchell Roemen (2).The Cardinals are riding a two-game winning streak and hold a 5-12 record.

Tatsuyuki Higa, a Special Olympics athlete, marches a torch down the field on Kadena Air Base, Japan, Nov. 17, 2012. See more photos at the link below.
KADENA AIR BASE, Japan -- Every year hundreds of athletes and artists with special needs gather at Kadena Air Base to enjoy the sports and art they love. For a young, smiling, Marlee McDaniel, daughter of the 18th Wing vice commander, this is her first year competing in the Kadena Special Olympics. "This is emotional for us. We've shied away in the past to protect her," said Col. Brian McDaniel, Marlee's dad. "But they say, 'If I can't win let me be brave.'" Marlee has Down syndrome, a genetic condition where a person has an extra chromosome; this causes problems with the way the body and brain develop. "This does not affect my military career," the father said. "We are part of an exceptional family member program and before every (permanent change of duty station) we make sure we have everything we need for Marlee. " The 7 year old loves to swim and run everywhere. She also takes tennis and ballet lessons and during KSO she competed in the 30 meter dash, tennis skills and the softball throw, even through the rain. "I think people have a misconception about special needs kids," said Deborah McDaniel, Marlee's mom. "They are just like any other child, and they just want to be part of a group or part of a team. People just need to give them that chance." Throughout the years, Special Olympic events have done just that, give special-needs children a chance to be a part of something with others they can relate to. As Marlee competed in events throughout the day she ran with enthusiasm, interacted with volunteers, athletes and artists with charm and demonstrated the courage to others that may be still too timid to participate in these types of events. Her father spoke of his daughter proudly, "Marlee has taught us how to be a hero."
The Kadena Special Olympics is the largest Department of Defense sponsored Special Olympics outside of the United States. Airman 1st Class Daryn Murphy shows us how the event brings U.S. Air Force Col. Brian McDaniel and his family closer together.Watch video on YouTube

Burnt Umber is a more intense reddish brown pigment that results from heating the clay pigment Raw Umber. It has medium to excellent tinting strength and high opacity, and it is quick drying in oil form. Burnt Umber is somewhat more transparent than Raw Umber. It has excellent color properties and can create a variety of subtle, clear tints when mixed with white. It can tend towards chalkiness in dark mixes in oil form, but overall it mixes well with other colors. To create a black color in oil form, mix Burnt Umber with Phthalo Blue or Ultramarine. To achieve a similar color in watercolor form, mix it with Ultramarine or Payne's Gray.
Burnt Umber has good permanence.
Burnt Umber itself is considered non-toxic. If contaminated by manganese compounds, it may be highly toxic if inhaled and moderately toxic if ingested.
This pigment gets its name from the Latin word umbra, meaning shadow or shade. Its full name is listed as terra di ombra, meaning earth of shadow/shade, due to its original extraction from the area of Umbria, Italy. It has been used as a pigment since prehistoric times. Currently, the finest umber comes from Cyprus.
Chestnut Brown, Euchrome, Jacaranda Brown, Mars Brown, Mineral Brown, Raw Brown, Spanish Brown, Van Dyke Umber. Cyprus Umber, Turkey Brown, and Turkey Umber are the best quality umbers.

Well that simplifies future purchasing decisions: Avoid VIA completely.
Phoronix: VIA's Open Linux Graphics Driver Has Been Defenestrated
For those that were hoping that VIA Technologies would pull through in providing their open-source graphics driver support like they had promised with kernel mode-setting, a Gallium3D driver, and being Linux friendly, kiss those thoughts goodbye as they've been basically thrown out the window. Sadly, it's not happening. I had a very productive conversation with VIA's Stewart Haston, who is their international marketing specialist, and their Linux outlook is extremely dark...
Well that simplifies future purchasing decisions: Avoid VIA completely.
Better Linux support without allocating any additional resources?
Release documentation. Proper documentation. I don't think it would pose any financial losses if they would provide developer docs not under NDAs but e.g. under the GPL. Just saying.
Also, question to VIA: What is the reason behind not releasing source code for the S3 graphics driver? If any source is being released it will most likely be hammerd in shape by the community.
Why not ask him to open source their Windows driver? Third parties could then write a Linux driver based on it.
That's why VIA is one of the worst chip makers that I ever seen.
They think that Microsoft will last forever. However they are wrong.
Microsoft will abandon X86 architecture gradually and VIA's investment in X86 will be compromised.
VIA will soon regret of letting Linux as a secondary operating system.
The short-sightedness of some companies is baffling...
1. Support Linux (with open specs and drivers)
2. Increase potential uses for your chipsets
3. Profit!
How hard is it?
Yes, this is idiotic (the decision, not the people who made it). VIA has a lot invested in embedded systems, so they should actually drool for Linux support. And frankly, as pointed out by nnnn, they could at least release documentation. Not because "it is good for the world", but because it makes business sense. Oh well.

Here\'s a red white and blue update for facial fans from the US of A. Ginger Rayles is wearing an adorable blue two piece lingerie and starts up wrapped in the sheer white fabric of drapes before taking a seat from some very private up-close and personal pussy pictures as she plays with her clit! She\'s a thoughtful cocksucker, always careful to hold her hair out of the way so you can get a perfect view of the deep sucking action and her three finger grip. From ball sucking to gagging deep, Ginger is on a mission to get the job done so she can savor her facial cum reward! Her pierced tongue prevails and earns her several streaks of sperm all along the left side of her face which she eagerly spoons into her lovely mouth with her hands before sucking the final drops of jizz out the cock.
Ginger...God Bless You..

Disappointed buyer
By Bob
from Douglassville, PA
About Me Conservative
I've had two pairs of Timberland Pro 6 inch water proof boots. The soles on the first pair just split and the boots became unuseable I had used them quite a while(however I still expected better wear) so I bought another pair. I use them mostly for lawn and garden work in dry conditions. I had to cut down a tree and there was about a 1/2 inch of snow on the ground and after 4 hours my socks were wet. The bead between the sole and the boot is breaking and I think that is how the water gets in. I will not buy another pair of Tiomberland boots.
Soles disintegrate
By Mac
from Missouri
The soles started to break in less than a year's wear. As they disintegrated, the comfort of the boot dropped significantly. This boot lasted less than half as long as I would expect.
Poor Construction
By Working Man
from SW Lower Michigan
About Me Comfort-oriented, Conservative
Was a good boot until the soles on both sides are coming loose. Not sure if it is the oils and/or lubricants we use at work that cause the soles to come loose. I only had these boots a little over a year now and for the price I paid, it was a costly mistake. From now on I look for a boot with the sole sewn onto the boot.

I don't like the color
i don't get the idea behind this
No thanks. I love the squirrel, but the text ruins it. I suppose it couldn't have been helped in the context of the theme.
Really disappointed to see nine to five shadow didn't win. It was easily my favorite and the only one I'd consider out of the four. No offense to the others, they were cute, clever, etc, but I just wouldn't wear them.
Congratulations! I thought this would be third. (Sorry Derek aka King of 4th place.) That's two in a row for Mr. Dekonstruct. Wahoo! Continue your happy dance and congratulations again!
Ahh grats on the win, still wish i had my 9 to 5 o' clock shadow...
Well to counter-balance the negativity of the first few posts I must say that I enjoy this design.
I've been waiting for this shirt all week! Oliphaunts, Mordor, and Gandalf! THANK YOU! To everyone... the awesome artist, woot, the academy, etc. so happy.
Come on woot... how many votes did it get? (congrats by the way dekonstruct, i'll be getting two of these ;-)
great shirt. I can wear it when I feel a little PMS comeing on

Grrrrrrrrr! Just kiddin'. Glad this one won. With the way these shirts are fitting me, the guy on the Nine to five o'clock shadow shirt would've had his head poking out of my waist...with a gas mask on, no less. (If I tucked it in, anyways...) That would've been embarassing.
congrats on the win, i think this could have won the first time had it not been entered so late :D

I agree x100 derek got robbed. I can only hope that woot will print 9-5 o'clock shadow tomorrow, like they did on the last derby. I would've paid double for that shirt. Congrats to the winners, but i'll pass. Cmon 9-5 o'clock shadow for derby chimp

I REALLY want nine to five o'clock shadow! PLEEEESEEEE print it woot! The natives are getting restless um, and why didn't they put number of votes received on this one? Don't they usually post that? EDIT: I want to clarify that I like this shirt too and congrat Dekonstruct (sp). Not a hater, just trying to encourage the sale of both shirts
Hooray for bad days! In for one!
I agree it's a silly shirt that would probably get some laughs from friends if I wore it to class. ...But I could very easily draw that design on a red shirt with white fabric paint, rather than pay $10 and wait a week for screenprinting and shipment. Just like the Tag one. The America-as-a-circuit-board shirt was great, though.
i smurfing love this shirt
wow you guys are so frekin negative about this shirt... why dont you put negative feedback somewhere else... your negativity is not going to get you a free shirt or anything, so stop tryin to think your all badass. you know what this shirt is so good that its actually gettin sold, if you think you can do better then do it
angry day...id like to give this shirt to a couple peeps
Anger makes me so happy, I ended up buying 3. :-Z
so what's the deal with this shirt then? is it some kind of inside joke i'm obviously not privy to.. or is it just what i see?
Sorry; this is just not me...
BTW very strange ---- I just started watching the first 3 episodes of firefly tonight!! I'm in for a couple of these.
Great illustration style for this shirt... congrats on the print!
In for one. I can see myself needing this shirt weekly
In for one, it'll pair nicely with my old "Jerk Factory" shirt -- I missed the derby finalists, where's the image to the 9 o'clock shadow shirt that didn't get printed?
Congrats dekonstruct. Also, I don't think it's fair to blame this shirt for not getting the shadow one - since there were two others that also pushed it out. Love the design.
I've been waiting for this one all week!!!!! This will be fun to wear to work on Mondays.
Love the shirt. Congrats on back-2-back derby wins.
I'm in for one. My wife loves this design. Would have liked to get a print of 9-5 as well, but that doesn't take anything away from Angry Day. It was a tough derby contested to the last minute! I can't wait to see the final vote tally.
I quite like this one. ...and so it shall be mine.

Another Business Idea
Thought of this one an hour ago; this one might actually work. I haven't seen it around anywhere but here it goes - feel free to give any and all suggestions: A protective case with a chip inside. It charges just like any other battery case, but it's not a battery case, it's a lost phone type of device. Directed towards people who are suseptible to losing their phone or something. Location services are always enabled and something (haven't figured this part out yet) would be needed to take the case off. Just like "Find My iPhone", it would connect to a server and you'd enter credentials you set on the phone when you first get the case. Thus, phone found. The only flaw would be when the case dies, but since it wouldn't need much power consumption, it would last a while.
So, what do ya think? |

What if someone just takes the case off?
Edit: just reread and saw you didn't know how to prevent that. Not a bad idea but obviously not much good for the iPhone since Find my iDevice already exists.

If it's a "case", it needs to be very thin. That's a significant constraint on the battery. It's also a significant constraint on what kinds of circuitry you can embed in the case. Extreme thinness is not cheap, in either batteries or circuitry.
What kind of price range do you expect to sell this for? I'd be amazed if you could get the manufacturing cost below $30-$50 in large quantities. And that doesn't count initial costs for circuit design, RF testing and licensing, case design, case molds, etc. What kind of radio? Cell? Wifi? Something else? If it's wifi or something else, what happens if there are no joinable networks (i.e. ones that don't require a password you may not know) near enough to connect to? Battery power (hence lifetime) is generally proportional to volume (LxWxH). So thin batteries tend not to last long. But a radio transmitter (which is what the circuitry is) takes a lot of power to transmit. If it's transmitting regularly, in order to be tracked, that means repeated bursts of fairly high power. This is not something I would expect a thin battery to be well-suited for. So it would need a lot of recharging, and where does it get that from? What is your experience or familiarity with electronics or radio engineering? Or are you just throwing things out randomly and expecting everyone else to handle the engineering feasibility? |

A thief can't as long as you turn passcode lock on. Of course Find My iPhone still has weaknesses: DFU mode can restore the phone back to normal easily and taking the SIM out will stop the tracking from working.
But taking a case off a phone is easier. And how would this case connect to the network in and of itself? Will it have a separate SIM in it? And will it have a GPS too? How will all of this stuff fit into a case that's meant to stay on the phone 24/7? This is a good concept but your suggested execution is fatally flawed. A better way to do this would be to have a chip built into the phone which runs a separate low-level OS, separately from anything else. The main OS can control it but only with authentication, for which you need a passcode. You'd need to lock this down hard to make sure it can't be easily hacked. This system would not be reset when the phone is restored either. This chip would act as a backdoor if you provide authentication remotely through Find My iPhone and let you control the phone, track it, etc. A system like that would be very hard to crack, certainly beyond the skills of your average phone thief. If you can make a concept that works you might be able to license it to Apple, you never know. |

This explanation is simplified but this is the basic idea.
The iPhone has multiple processors. One is the main powerful one that runs iOS and all your apps. However, the antenna has its own processor, and that works solely on making all your connections work. This is the reason why unlocking an iPhone requires additional work after a jailbreak - because jailbreaking cracks the bootloader and OS of the main processor, not the system of that separate processor (the baseband firmware) which controls the actual phone part of the device. What I am suggesting is another separate system like this which works solely on anti-theft. So it will be accessible to the main OS of the phone, just as the antenna's chip is accessible to the main OS to allow the phone to actually make use of the antenna, but it will function as a completely separate system and the user of the phone can only control it with the key. The system will boot up and run independently of iOS and it will be strongly encrypted. If the phone is turned on, this system will be turned on too. If the iPhone is restored, this separate system will not be affected as it's separate from the main OS of the phone. The only way to get past it, assuming it's not been hacked, would be to never connect the phone to mobile data network or WiFi network ever again. This system will be able to use the network of the phone (mobile network, WiFi network, whatever) to tell a remote user (you) where the phone is if it's lost as long as you authenticate it (log into your iCloud account and confirm the passcode, which is then sent the system for authentication). From there the system can perform a number of operations on your phone, including allowing you to track it, making a sound come out of it, making it wipe all data, or whatever you want. |

Yes but as soon as the phone is turned on and connected the system will start working again. There wouldn't be a viable hardware hack for this either since the anti-theft system would be built into the SoC. Apple would be able to do this because they already get their SoCs custom made. So unless someone went to the trouble of replacing the entire logic board there's no way around it as long as you develop very strong software for it. And of course make sure it's updatable so patches can be installed easily.

What do you know about Qualcomm chips? How would it "intertwine" with the phone's internet capabilities? How does that communicate over the external connector (be it Lightning, 30-pin, or whatever)? What's the energy density of "maybe even solar"? How much time does it have to remain under what light intensity in order to get a worthwhile charge? How likely is it to obtain that charge if it's mostly in pockets, purses, or facing the ground because the user is reading the screen? Have you done anything like a marketing-demand analysis? Who would want this? How would it be better than competitor products, i.e. how is it better than software-only Find My Phone services? How much would the expected customer really be willing to pay for the value-add above software-only? In my opinion, with parts I know are on the market or expected to reach market any time in the next few years (based on projected chip fab capabilities), I don't see even a glimmer of hope that this would be viable for anywhere close to the stated price. Sorry if that bursts your bubble. I think the engineering alone, without taking price into account, would take extraordinary skill in order to make it thin enough and capable enough to even be marketable. To hit a price point of even $150 retail would take exceptional skill and talent. You can't just hire that out to a random engineering team. Last edited by chown33; Dec 5, 2012 at 06:16 PM. |

Here's a Garmin device that seems to be somewhat close to this. It lists for $199, but is available for $129.
Like chown33 I think making money from something like this at a price point of <$100 is quite unlikely. B

Conversely, if the phone is on so the in-case device can use it, then the phone itself already provides all the necessary capabilities. By itself, the phone can run software that finds its location, makes a connection, and relays that to a server. So exactly what added value does the in-case device really provide, and how is that a compelling sales point given the added cost over a simple dumb case? I get the feeling you have little or no business or engineering experience, and haven't really done any kind of logical analysis or even a reality check on this idea. I don't intend to rain on your parade, but why should anyone take this idea seriously if you haven't done even the most basic business, marketing, or engineering research? |

In fact, every phone already has the fundamental capability for this feature: it's called the IMEI number. It's unique to each device (specifically, to each baseband processor chip), it's difficult to change, and it's already communicated to cell towers and cell service providers. From the afore-linked Wikipedia article: The IMEI number is used by a GSM network to identify valid devices and therefore can be used for stopping a stolen phone from accessing that network. For example, if a mobile phone is stolen, the owner can call his or her network provider and instruct them to "blacklist" the phone using its IMEI number. This renders the phone useless on that network and sometimes other networks too, whether or not the phone's SIM is changed.The main addition would be to the Application Processor (AP), i.e. the A6 or main SoC. If the baseband processor has firmware that detects the disabling of the IMEI number when told by a suitable message from the cell network, then the AP can ask the BBP if it's disabled, and then perform the remote wipe. Or for the Find My Phone feature, the BBP receives the message from the cell network that a Find request has been made. The AP sees this and provides any location details it might have, otherwise the BBP by itself can provide a cell-tower triangulation location with no assistance from the AP. None of this needs an external case, but it does need capabilities that can only be provided by the cell network provider, and by the provider of baseband processor firmware. It's a fairly natural extension of disabling an IMEI number, by making the device itself (i.e. the phone) aware of the IMEI disablement and having it act on that information. None of this needs an external smart-case, either. It's all done in software or firmware using the chips already present in any phone. |

Your implementation would require cooperation from the networks though, and that may be hard to do, especially in the US where the networks don't even bother blacklisting IMEIs of stolen handsets in the first place. |

I have put some thought into the idea, just don't have the engineering experience. The whole idea of it is to track the phone when location services are disabled. It doesn't matter if the phone is on or not. If location services are disabled, Find My iPhone is 100% useless. That's when the case comes in. It provides the "GPS" chip. The only thing missing is the Internet capability.

Since you're outside the phone and thus limited to user space applications and Apple's restrictions on what kind of tasks can run in the background and devices that can be attached via the dock/lightning connector (without requiring a JB). Essentially, you're stuck providing your own data link since you can't easily leverage the phone's connection. If the case's battery runs down, the GPS stops working and it can't tell where it is anymore, so the utility of this function is limited to the battery life of the case. The longer that is, the heavier it is. The Garmin GPS tag I linked to earlier in the thread has all of these features, including its own cellular link including a $49/year service from AT&T. What exactly do you propose to do differently than it to cut the cost of the device by a factor of 5? FWIW I've been involved in the hardware/firmware design of several "last gasp" and theft/tamper detection hardware features and they all suck. B
