A Brief History of Solar Sails
Long ago, someone stood alone on a sandy shore and gazed longingly out at the seemingly endless expanse of ocean, over a horizon suffused softly with ocean mist, musing "I wonder, what's out there?" Then, they fashioned a boat, rigged it with a large cloth to catch the wind, and set sail.
Not quite so long ago, someone stood alone on a sandy shore and gazed longingly up at the seemingly endless expanse of space, suffused softly with sparkling stars, musing "I wonder, what's out there?" Then, they fashioned a spacecraft, rigged it with a large cloth to catch the sun, and set sail.
The first paragraph: Already happened. The second: Any day now"¦.
Two very special missions are planned for the near future; both aim to deploy a solar sail to harness the power of sunlight. NASA's NanoSail-D is a small solar sail slated for launch as early as August 2008. The Planetary Society's Cosmos 2 does not yet have a specific launch target date. Its goal is to make "a controlled flight under sunlight pressure."1
To fully appreciate these two missions, let's travel back in time for a brief history of solar sailing:
Almost 400 years ago, German astronomer Johannes Kepler observed comet tails being blown by what he thought to be a solar "breeze."2 This observation inspired him to suggest that "ships and sails proper for heavenly air should be fashioned" to glide through space.
Little did Kepler know, the best way to propel a solar sail is not by means of solar wind, but rather by the force of sunlight itself. In 1873, James Clerk Maxwell first demonstrated that sunlight exerts a small amount of pressure as photons bounce off a reflective surface. This kind of pressure is the basis of all modern solar sail designs.
In 1960, Echo-1 felt these solar pressure effects loudly and clearly. "Photon pressure played orbital soccer with the Echo-1 thin-film balloon in orbit…. The shards were flung far and wide by sunlight."3
NASA had a more positive experience with solar sailing in 1974 when the Mariner 10 spacecraft ran low on attitude control gas. Because Mariner 10 was on a mission to Mercury, there was plenty of sunlight around and this gave mission controllers an idea: They angled Mariner's solar arrays into the sun and used solar radiation pressure for attitude control. It worked. Though Mariner 10 was not a solar sail mission, and though the radiation pressure it used was incredibly small, this ingenious use of Mariner's solar arrays did demonstrate the principle of solar sailing.
Also in the 1970s, Dr. Louis Friedman, then at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, led a project to try the first solar sail flight. Halley's Comet was to make its closest approach to Earth in 1986, and NASA conceived the exciting idea of propelling a probe via solar sail to rendezvous with the comet. Eventually, the project was scrapped. Still "the year-long work on preliminary design demonstrated that, indeed, solar sailing was a feasible spacecraft-propulsion technique."4
In 1993, the Russian Space Agency launched a 20-meter diameter, spinning mirror called Znamya 2, hoping to beam solar power back to the ground.
"Some call Znamya 2 a sail because it was made of a large, lightweight reflector and unfurled like a solar sail might be unfurled," says Les Johnson of the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, co-author of the soon-to-be-published book Solar Sails: A Novel Approach to Interplanetary Travel. "In fact, if I were asked to demonstrate solar sail technology and was constrained to deploy it from a large spacecraft, I might design a 'sail' like Znamya."
The foil reflector unfurled and when illuminated produced a 5 km wide bright spot which crossed Europe from France to Russia at a speed of some 8 km/hr. Unable to control its own flight, however, the mirror burned up in the atmosphere over Canada. Russia's proto-sail program was abandoned in 1999 after a larger, follow-up mission (Znamya 2.5) failed to deploy properly.
Solar sails were an accessory on India's INSAT 2A and 3A communications satellites, circa 1992 and 2003. The satellites were powered by a 4-panel solar array on one side. A solar sail was mounted on the north side of each satellite to offset the torque resulting from solar pressure on the array.
In 2004, the Japanese deployed solar sail materials sub-orbitally from a sounding rocket. Although it was not a demonstration of a free-flying solar sail that could be used for deep-space exploration, the deployment was nevertheless "a valuable milestone" remarks Friedman, who appreciates the challenges of deploying gossamer sheets from fast-moving spacecraft.
To date, no solar sail has been successfully deployed in space as a primary means of propulsion.
The Planetary Society hoped to demonstrate the technology with its Cosmos 1 mission in 2005. "Cosmos 1 was a fully developed solar sail spacecraft intended to fly only under the influence of solar pressure for control of the spacecraft's orbit," says Friedman, now the director of the Planetary Society.
"If all had gone as planned, the US-based Planetary Society, working with Russia, would have been the first to fly a fully functional, though performance-limited, solar sail in space," says Johnson. "It would have been the first spin-stabilized, free-flying solar sail to fly in space."5
Cosmos 1, however, was lost when the launch vehicle failed.
Meanwhile, NASA has also continued to dabble in solar sailing. Between 2001 and 2005, the Agency developed two different 20-meter solar sails (fabricated by ATK Space Systems and L'Garde, Inc., respectively) and tested them on the ground in vacuum conditions. "These sail designs are robust enough for deployment in a one atmosphere, one gravity environment and are scalable to much larger solar sails — perhaps as much as 150 meters on one side." "A NASA flight test is possible by the year 2010."6
Meanwhile, NanoSail-D is shooting for this summer, and space.
Edward E. Montgomery's team from the Marshall Space Flight Center is working in cooperation with Elwood Agasid's Ames team toward deploying the NanoSail-D solar sail–in fact, "any day now," says Montgomery. It will travel to orbit onboard a SpaceX Falcon 1 rocket, to be launched from Omelek Island in the Pacific Ocean.
"Our primary objective is to demonstrate successful deployment of a lightweight solar sail structure in low Earth orbit," says Montgomery. NanoSail-D will feel two kinds of pressure: (1) aerodynamic drag from the wispy top of Earth's atmosphere and (2) the pressure of sunlight. Montgomery's team hopes to measure both types of pressure as the sail circles Earth.
Johnson cautions, "If–and it's a big if""they can measure the solar pressure, they will have demonstrated solar pressure as a primary means of orbital maneuvering. They'll have to show conclusively the effects of solar pressure, with a convincingly high signal-to-noise ratio (above the forces resulting from the residual atmospheric pressure)."
Montgomery acknowledges the challenge: "The orbit available to us in this launch opportunity is so low, it may not allow us to stay in orbit long enough for solar pressure effects to accumulate to a measurable degree. We are going to have to look closely at the flight data to see if we can make that determination."
And what of Cosmos 2? The mission is a privately funded project, a partnership of The Planetary Society and Cosmos Studios. Work has begun at the Russian Space Research Institute on some Cosmos 2 spacecraft hardware. They are also studying possible launch configurations on a reliable launch vehicle.7
If successful, NanoSail-D and Cosmos 2 could profoundly affect the future of science and exploration missions.
"Success would be huge for the future of space exploration," says Montgomery.
"Solar sailing is the only means known to achieve practical interstellar flight," says Friedman. "It is our hope that the first solar sail flight will spur the development of solar sail technology so that this dream can be made real."
Each effort is a stepping stone, in the great visionary Carl Sagan's words, along "the shore of the cosmic ocean,"8 leading us closer to sailing among the stars. Future attempts will surely take us the rest of the way.

Compassion and understanding
from President Barack Obama – Reaction to the Zimmerman Trial Verdict on Genius
Compassion is the ability to put yourself in the other person's place and understand why they act the way they do even if you don't agree with it. In To Kill a Mockingbird Atticus Finch attempts to convey this notion to his daughter, Jean Louise (Scout):
First of all, if you can learn a simple trick, Scout, you'll get along a lot better with all kinds of folks. You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view […] until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.

2008 BEST Wine Shop
Bauer Wine & Spirits
Here in the Hub, oenophiles generally have two types of stores from which to choose. There's the overly curated boutique, where every bottle warrants its own spotlight and price hike. Then there's the warehouse, where half the inventory seems the result of bargain-driven haggling ('We got an extra pallet of this merlot to get rid of!'), not some connoisseur's strategic sipping. Bauer lands right in the middle, with a store full of attractively organized bottles that are fairly priced yet well chosen. Everything in moderation, people—even when it's a gnarly 2003 Chateau du Tertre Margaux (a recent store promotion) that opens up into a berry-enriched study in liquid gossamer.

From the article: Eggs - Nutrition Information
Eggs are a good source of protein and lutein and although they contain some saturated fat, one egg is only about 75 calories. Eggs are so versatile - whether you boil, poach, fry or scramble them, you're likely to find eggs served with your breakfast.
Of course, eggs can be served any time of day, like in a quiche or an omelet. And eggs are a staple for your kitchen because they're used as an ingredient for baked goods and other items.
Hmmm... all this talk about eggs is making me hungry for a soft boiled egg or two. How do you like your eggs?
Eggs From Free Range Chickens
- When you eat eggs, it's best to have the yolk soft. It will get you the most benefit. And especially take care to get organic free range eggs.
- —schristen
- Anyway you fix them is good, but I prefer sunny side up or over easy. I'm 75 low cholesterol and fit as a fiddle. love em
- —Guest BigBen
Soft Eggs
- So my favorite is any form of prepared egg where the yolk is still a viscous liquid - YUMMM!! Egg yolk ravioli, poached, soft-baked... All good!
- —Jef13BC
Favorite Ways To Serve Eggs
- I like eggs fried, scrambled or soft boiled--but beware--only use cage free without added hormones, antibiotics, etc.----please read info from United States Humane SOC. on humane treatment o f laying hens----cartons are labeled so you don't promote the terrible inhumane treatment of factory farms---or better yet, if there is a farm near you, you can get fresh natural eggs from them sometimes
- —Guest shirley
Thanks Emma
- I was going to ask about HDL and LDL cholesterol content in eggs. There seems to be a little LDL in eggs, but a lot of HDL cholesterol to offset the difference. I wish the calorie counter can segregate between the two so I can see for myself. I eat about 12 eggs a day simply because it's the most easiest way to get protein in a form I can eat - so I spent a few hours tonight reading about this! agh
- —peegee13
- There are 2 types of cholesterol, good and bad and eggs are PACKED full of good cholesterol. No one needs to worry about cholesterol in eggs and anyone who writes about nutrition should know this. Good cholesterol actually kicks the bad so eat up!
- —Guest Emma
- I like to scramble the eggs but only have about one or two yolks to lower the cholesterol, and also add a bit of cheese.
- —Guest Rebekah
- I love scrambled eggs with spinach, a little cheese and lots of Tabasco!

Cain Velasquez became the first Mexican to win the UFC heavyweight championship when he scored a first-round TKO at UFC 121 in 2010 at Honda Center.
It proved to be a short-lived reign because Brazilian bomber Junior dos Santos needed 64 seconds to knock out Velasquez at UFC on Fox 1 in the champion's first title defense.
Velasquez earned a shot at redemption when he scored a first-round TKO over Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva at UFC 146 in March. That victory landed Velasquez (10-1) a rematch against dos Santos (15-1) for the UFC heavyweight title at UFC 155 on Saturday at 7 p.m. at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on pay-per-view.
"I got myself in this sport to be the best," Velasquez told UFC.com. "I'm not there right now. There's one guy I have to go through to be there."
Velasquez, a two-time All-American wrestler at Arizona State, has some of the best takedowns in MMA and his ground-and-pound can be vicious. Dos Santos has one-punch KO power in both fists and has yet to be tested on the ground in his UFC career.
"His takedown defense is really good," Velasquez said. "As soon as he goes down, he pops back up or he doesn't even let you go to the ground. If he does get up, then we are going to fight on our feet.
"Going out there, taking him down and finishing him on top would be the ultimate thing for me. I'm going to prove I'm the best when I take my belt back."
Velasquez believes he has the skill set to dethrone dos Santos.
"The whole reason I'm here right now is to be the best, to be the champ," Velasquez said. "The only thing I want is the belt and to keep it and keep defending it. I'm going to go in and take what's mine."
Dos Santos has a lot of respect for Velasquez, but not so much for fighters who choose to use performance-enhancing drugs. One of those is Alistair Overeem, who was supposed to fight the champion in May before failing a pre-fight urine test with elevated testosterone levels. Overeem is expected to face the dos Santos-Velasquez winner next year.
"I prefer to fight against clean athletes and real professionals," dos Santos said on a recent conference call. "Cain is one of these guys. He's a real professional fighter and that's a good challenge for me. I know he's very tough and I know how hard I have to train to face him. The other guys, they just say things but there's nothing behind the words. Guys like me and Cain Velasquez, we are made at the gym. And guys like the other guy, they are made at the laboratory." ...
Here are the main card bouts for UFC 155 on pay-per-view at 7 p.m.: Dos Santos (15-1) vs. Velasquez (10-1); Jim Miller (21-4) vs. Joe Lauzon (22-7); Tim Boetsch (16-4) vs. Costa Philippou (11-2); Yushin Okami (27-7) vs. Alan Belcher (18-6); Chris Leben (22-8) vs. Derek Brunson (9-2).
Here are the UFC 155 prelims on FX at 5 p.m.: Brad Pickett (22-6) vs. Eddie Wineland (19-8-1); Erik Perez (12-4) vs. Byron Bloodworth (6-2); Melvin Guillard (30-11-2) vs. Jamie Varner (20-7-1); Michael Johnson (12-6) vs. Myles Jury (10-0).
Here are the UFC 155 prelims on Facebook at 3:35 p.m.: Phil DeFries (9-1) vs. Todd Duffee (7-2); Leonard Garcia (15-9-1) vs. Max Holloway (6-1); Chris Cariaso (14-3) vs. John Moraga (12-1). ...

Technical Service Center
Materials Engineering and Research Lab
MERL Partner: The University of Colorado at Denver
In 1940, the Portland Cement Association (PCA) and the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) Materials Engineering and Research Laboratory, Denver, Colorado, formed a partnership to study the long term behavior of 27 different types of cement in concrete under service conditions. A parapet wall containing three or four test panels of each cement was constructed along the upstream bank at Green Mountain Dam, Big Thompson Project, Colorado. This project resumed the study of the durability of various concrete mix designs after fifty years of environmental exposure. After completion of a visual inspection and non-destructive testing of all panels, fourteen cements were selected for coring and laboratory testing. Cored samples were tested for static compressive strength, dynamic compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, cyclic (non-linear) compressive strength, modulus of elasticity, sonic modulus, Poisson's ratio, and unit weight.
For more information about this project, please contact Dr. Bill Kepler.
The pictures are of panels that were tested from the parapet wall.

Where do we start after a wild weekend of SEC football? We could go to Music City, where Vanderbilt is turning heads with a surprising 4-0 start. We could go to Gainesville, where the Gators are fresh off a blowout win over Tennessee. We could talk about Georgia, which survived back-to-back road games at South Carolina and Arizona St.
But we start our review of Week 4 by discussing the defending national champions, the LSU Tigers. When Ryan Perrilloux was dismissed from the team this past spring, most dismissed LSU's chances of repeating. After all, Les Miles was left with zero experience at the quarterback position.
Like I said all summer, the Bayou Bengals were as good as -- if not better -- than any team in the country at every position on the field other than QB. On Saturday in an SEC West showdown at Auburn, Miles seemingly found his QB. His name is Jarrett Lee, a redshirt freshman, who threw an 18-yard touchdown pass to Brandon LaFell with 1:03 remaining to lift his team to a 26-21 win as a three-point favorite.
LSU rallied from a 14-3 deficit at halftime, as Lee shook off a pick-six and played outstanding in relief of the injured Andrew Hatch in the second half. Miles also reached into his bag of tricks, calling for a halfback pass from Auburn's 22 while trailing 14-10 in the third quarter. LSU running back Keiland Williams executed the gadget play to perfection, firing a strike to Demetrius Byrd for a 22-yard TD connection.
The Bayou Bengals improved to 3-0 with a home game against Mississippi St. on deck. They then get an open date before going on the road to face Florida in a monumental matchup on Oct. 11. As for Auburn, it will look to bounce back when it plays host to a wounded Tennessee squad this Saturday.
Speaking of the Volunteers, they will be in desperation mode on the Plains. Florida dropped UT to 1-2 by going into Neyland Stadium and delivering woodshed treatment to the tune of a 30-6 thrashing. The Gators easily cashed tickets as 7 1/2-point favorites.
UF's Brandon James set the tone by returning the opening kick beyond midfield. Several plays later, the Gators were in the end zone with a 7-0 lead. Later in the first half, James had a 78-yard punt return for a TD and the blowout was on.
Phillip Fulmer's team could be looking at a 2-4 start with road trips to Auburn and Georgia in the next three weeks. The Rocky Top faithful are up in arms and Fulmer's future appears to be in doubt.
Of course, we've seen that before, only for the Vols to regroup with their backs against the wall. Will that happen again, or was Saturday the beginning of the end of Fulmer's storied tenure at his alma mater?
Urban Meyer's team will play host to Ole Miss this week as a 23-point 'chalk.' The Gators then travel to Arkansas before taking on LSU.
Break up the Commodores, who are 4-0 overall and 2-0 in SEC play after capturing a 23-17 win at Ole Miss as seven-point underdogs. Junior free safety Ryan Hamilton garnered SEC Defensive Player of the Week honors after intercepting three Jevan Snead passes. With the Rebels leading 10-0 and in Vandy territory, the game turned on Hamilton's 79-yard interception return for a TD.
Vandy senior QB Chris Nickson left the game with a shoulder injury, but MacKenzie Adams played well in relief. With the Commodores off this week, Nickson is expected to play in an Oct. 4 home game against Auburn. ESPN will televise the game at 6:00 p.m. Eastern. If Auburn remains ranked by beating UT this week, it will be the first time Vandy has hosted a game between ranked teams since 1947.
Georgia went out to Tempe this past Saturday and thumped Arizona St. 27-10 as a seven-point favorite. Knowshon Moreno was the catalyst, rushing for 149 yards and a pair of first-half TDs as the Dawgs built a 21-3 advantage by intermission.
Mark Richt's team is back in action this Saturday against Alabama as a seven-point home 'chalk.' Like they did in a 45-20 win over Auburn last year, the Dawgs will break out the black jerseys for just the third time in school history.
Nick Saban's team is 4-0 following Saturday's 49-14 triumph at Arkansas. The Crimson Tide easily cashed tickets as 9 1/2-point favorites. They will be looking to avenge last season's home loss to UGA in overtime.
Mississippi State fell to 1-3 when it took a 38-7 pounding from Ga. Tech as an eight-point road underdog. It doesn't get any easier for Sylvester Croom's troops, who are 24 1/2-point underdogs Saturday at LSU.
**B.E.'s Bonus Nuggets**
--From the lips of VI handicapper Bill Marzano: "FSU's quarterback play is absolutely atrocious. Absolutely atrocious. I think Colorado has a solid team. Look for them to beat the 'Noles this week."
--Vandy is last in the SEC in both total offense and total defense. However, the Commodores have been outstanding on special teams and are plus nine in the turnover department.
--South Carolina senior All-SEC wide receiver Kenny McKinley is "doubtful" vs. UAB this week. He is expected to miss his third straight game with a hamstring strain. Steve Spurrier is hinting that QB Stephen Garcia might get the starting nod ahead of Chris Smelley against the Blazers.
--Coaches on the Hot Seat:
1-Greg Robinson (Syracuse)
2-Ty Willingham (Washington)
3-Phillip Fulmer (Tennessee)
4-Bill Stewart (West Virginia)
5-Steve Kragthorpe (Louisville)
--Coach of the Year candidates:

Burberry Summer by Burberry is too light of a fragrance for my personal taste. I can hardly notice it is on. I tried testing it on my arm at home to gage the lasting power and it did not appear to last as long as the Burberry Brit which is my favorite. If you like a very light subtle scent then this is for you.

This is a lovely scent. Very fresh and clean. Not overpowering by any means. Lasts til about mid morning. Great for anyone with an acute sense of smell like mine - it's lovely but so subtle you'll barely notice you're wearing it. Of all the scents in my collection I've never had anyone comment on this one even when I "overspray" - it's that subtle.

Navy's expectations in 2010 go beyond beating Army
ANNAPOLIS, Md. Gone are the days when Navy's definition of a successful season was a victory over Army.
Defeating their longtime military rival is always a priority for the Midshipmen. But that's merely one goal for a team coming off a 10-win season and a 35-13 rout of Missouri in the Texas Bowl.
"Top 25, undefeated, BCS bowl game - that's all that is left. That's what the next level is," senior safety Wyatt Middleton said. "As long as we play our game and keep playing hard, our program is to the point where we can do that."
A decade ago, such talk would be ridiculous. Navy went 1-10 in 2000 and 0-10 in 2001 before Paul Johnson took over. The results were not immediately impressive: The Midshipmen won only two games in a season made memorable only by a 58-12 thrashing of Army.
Johnson's spread-option offense helped Navy go 8-5 in 2003. That launched an ongoing run of seven straight seasons in which the Midshipmen won at least eight games, captured the Commander-In-Chief's trophy (beating both Army and Air Force) and received a bowl bid.
After Johnson left for Georgia Tech in December 2007, Ken Niumatalolo took over in a seamless transition. Now the Midshipmen are seeking consecutive 10-win seasons for the first time.
A forgiving schedule won't be as much of an obstacle as dealing with the expectations that come with winning. Navy received some votes in the AP preseason Top 25 poll and expects to receive national attention on a weekly basis long before the Army-Navy clash in December.
"There is no question that this team is getting more preseason recognition than ever before," Niumatalolo said. "We have to keep the blinders on and not let it be a distraction. A lot of this stuff is new to Navy, and we're all human."
The star of the team is Ricky Dobbs, the ringleader of the spread-option. Despite missing nearly two games with a cracked right knee cap, Dobbs set an NCAA single-season record for quarterbacks by scoring 27 touchdowns. He also ran for 1,203 yards and passed for 1,031.
"It feels good to watch No. 4 cross the goal line. We love it when Ricky gets the touchdown," offensive tackle Jeff Battiplagia said. "He's a playmaker and he wins games for us. Watching him play, and being able to say I blocked for Ricky Dobbs, is a pretty big thrill."
If Dobbs can stay healthy, there's no telling how deceptive and prolific the option will be this season.
"This is my last football season here at Navy, so that definitely puts a whole lot of things into perspective," he said. "You kind of take it for granted until it's your last one and you know you're almost done. That's when things start coming into focus and you start paying attention to all the little details."
Navy ranked 119th last season in yards passing, and Dobbs averaged fewer than 10 throws per game. The Midshipmen may pass more often in 2010, if only to spread out a defense focused on stopping the option.

text: We love these sculptural portraits made with screws by Andrew Myers. This Laguna Beach, California-based artist goes through a multi-step process to create incredible works of art you almost have to see (or touch) to believe. He starts with a base, plywood panel, and then places pages of a phone book on top. (Cool fact: He'll use pages from his subjects' local area.) He then draws out a face and pre-drills 8,000 to 10,000 holes, by hand. As he drills in the screws, Myers doesn't rely on any computer software to guide him, he figures it out as he goes along. "For me, I consider this a traditional sculpture and all my screws are at different depths," he says.

Hey guys, I am making a new flyer and I was going to use the phrase Rainbow Room in it. This is a famous restaurant in new york. Would it be considered against copyright to reference that in my flyer? Or is it perfectly fine? I can easily change the word. I am just wondering for future reference.
Don't know the right answer but if you can't use it I suggest Rainbow Chamber (:
Surely! you can use it, if that the case we may not be left with words, they are to separate words RAINBOW +ROOM, who says you can't use it, sure you can. Worse comes to worse you can add THE = The Rainbow Room.
To keep me from all harm, I am sure a MOD or STAFF will clear this up for you.
fine,it's up to date!

HENNEPIN AVENUE — After nearly 30 years at its current location, National Camera's Hennepin location has closed. The news of the closure came as an abrupt blow to many of the store's loyal customers, but founder John Liss is hopeful that it's not the end of National Camera's presence Downtown.
"I'd like to stay," says Liss. "And I don't think you'd condemn the building. But it has to be a safe and healthy place for people to work."
According to Liss, the building requires extensive repairs to both the interior and exterior. One corner of the building is essentially held together with giant metal staples, and cracks in the brick led to water damage to the interior. The electrical system is also in need of significant updates, and the result is a building that needs significant repairs. Repairs that can't happen while the store remains open.
Both Liss and store manager Megan Boesen say that the city of Minneapolis has contacted National Camera and expressed interest in keeping them in the space or helping the store find a new location Downtown.
"If I can find a way to finance the repairs of both the interior and exterior, we'll do them and stay," said Liss. "The city likes having us there as an anchor in the Theater District. But there are advantages to finding a new space too. The Downtown location is the smallest of our stores. If we found a bigger space, we could put a lab in, we could have a bigger footprint. One way or the other, we'd like to be back downtown in six months to a year."
National Camera has maintained a Downtown location off and on since the company's founding in 1914, and all five of the Downtown store's employees will be transferred to other locations along with any remaining inventory. Boesen is thankful that she and her co-workers won't be losing their jobs, but is clearly hopeful that they'll all be returning to downtown quickly. "We've got the best customers in the world," she says. "They keep coming in and telling us about vacant properties we could lease for the store."
Liss is eager to hear suggestions for new spaces. "We love the old place, but it could be better. We need more visibility. We need more parking. And as long as it's not an internal space, we're open to all possibilities. It can be different from our other stores. We don't have a store that looks like the others. We don't mind different."
Lingerie Football League coming to Minneapolis
WAREHOUSE DISTRICT — Playing at Target Center may be a no-go for the Vikings, but one new team will be calling it home this fall. The Lingerie Football League is coming to Minneapolis as part of the sexy sports league's four-city expansion.
Founded in 2009, the LFL features seven-on-seven games played by women clad in the unusual combination of shoulder pads, helmets and skimpy lingerie. According to a statement by Target Center Vice President and General Manager Steve Mattson, the LFL games will "provide Minnesota fans an entertaining blend of action, beauty and football all wrapped up in one event."
Fans were asked to submit potential names for the team. The name "Minnesota Valkyrie" was chosen by an overwhelming margin, and the first person to suggest the name will reportedly receive lifetime season tickets. All other fans will pay around $50 a seat. Naturally, seats closest to the action are expected to sell quickly.
LOOK + SEE celebrates new home
RIVERFRONT — Look + See Eye Care hosted a grand opening celebration on April 9 for its new space at 225 Main St. SE.
In response to a growing patient roster, the company has added a doctor and moved from East Hennepin Avenue into a larger space with more parking.
The store's new showroom is now carrying a few more designers, such as the "weightless" Zero G brand, and the Seraphin line made by the local shop Ogi.
American Burger Bar opens in LaSalle Plaza
HENNEPIN AVENUE — The oddly shaped storefront across from Rock Bottom Brewery in LaSalle Plaza has a new occupant, one that hopes to carve out a unique place in the retail and dining complex. American Burger Bar opened in late March, and co-owner Eric Sandrock is confident that his restaurant will be a welcome addition to the neighborhood.
"You've got the high end dining with the Capital Grill, the brewery and now you've got the mom and pop shop," says Sandrock. "That's us. And we feel like now there's really something for everyone here."
The Downtown restaurant is the third location for the American Burger Bar franchise, which opened its first location in St. Paul in 2009. Downtown was an attractive location for the new restaurant because Sandrock "loves the energy," and restaurant has several unique features to bring in the diners. As the name suggests, American Burger Bar serves both standard burgers and more daring fare, such as a Kobe beef Jucy Lucy, a Thai burger and a "South of the Border" burger with a bun that's actually branded with a cattle iron.
There are many places downtown to grab a burger, so Sandrock is hoping some of the restaurants other unique aspects will appeal to diners. It is one of the only restaurants in Downtown to offer a selection of "extreme beers," limited edition brews with high alcohol content and bold flavors created by microbreweries from around the country. The restaurant also serves breakfast from 7–11 on weekdays and features a "make your own burger bar" for the time-sensitive lunch crowd. But perhaps the most enticing amenity of all is The Boardroom, a luxurious conference room with HDTV, separate stereo system and high-backed leather chairs that can be reserved for meetings, or just groups looking for a unique place to eat.
New owners aim to class up former Skyway Lounge
HENNEPIN — The notoriously seedy Hennepin Avenue strip club the Skyway Lounge has closed, but a new gentleman's club will be taking its place in early summer. The new owners have been renovating the space since the private sale and intend to reopen as a classier, more upscale establishment than the famously grungy former occupant.
Called Lure, the new business will feature topless dancers and liquor sales in setting with a burlesque vibe and boudoir-inspired décor. Lure's owners hope to open in roughly a month.
In other adult-oriented news, adult novelty chain Fantasy Gifts is opening a new location on Hennepin Avenue on the first floor of the Stage Apartments building.
Fulton Brewery beginning to take shape
NORTH LOOP — While there is still much to do before it can open, progress is being made on the new brewery for Minneapolis-based microbrewery Fulton. The amount of work left is so considerable that Fulton President Ryan Petz is hesitant to even name a month for its opening, but he's hopeful that the North Loop building will be open for tours in the late summer.
Fulton's plans have been submitted to the city for approval, and the microbrewery is working with other local firms to guide the project to completion. Both the architecture firm and construction company working on the brewery are based in Minneapolis.
Until the brewery is complete, Fulton's beer will continue to be brewed at the Sand Creek brewery in Black River Falls, Wisconsin. Fulton's "War and Peace" coffee stout took home the Golden Firkin award for the audience's favorite beer at the recent Firken Fest beer event in St. Paul.
Pearl Ultra Lounge to open in Spin Nightclub space
WAREHOUSE DISTRICT — The former Spin Nightclub space has been quiet since March, but no longer. New owners John Barlow and Ned Abdul have taken over the space in the Lumber Exchange building and are hard at work on renovating the two-floor club. The new venue will be known as the Pearl Night Club and Ultra Lounge, and will forgo Spin's 18+ dance nights in favor of more events aimed at a 21–35 year-old crowd.
Barlow and Adbul also own the Epic and Karma nightclubs Downtown. The duo is reportedly working on an ID-scanning system that will share information across all three clubs, which would prevent anyone causing trouble at one club from entering either of the other two.

PSC to approve We Energies wind farm
State regulators will approve We Energies' proposal to build the Glacier Hills Wind Park.
At the opening of the commission meeting Monday afternoon, commission chairman Eric Callisto and commissioner Lauren Azar said they will vote to approve the project.
All three commissioners then rejected the request by Invenergy LLC of Chicago that the commission order the Milwaukee utility to buy power from Invenergy's planned Ledge Wind wind farm in Brown County. The commission also rejected a proposal by Clean Wisconsin that would have required the utiltiy to shut down older coal-fired power plants because of a glut in power supplies.
The commission has now moved on to discuss siting issues, including possible conditions on noise limits and the distance a turbine must be built from homes and compensation for homeowners who live near turbines but won't be hosting turbines on their property.
I'll have an update on the commission's decision later Monday and in Tuesday's paper.

Our football team sucks. I am fully aware of that. Did I ever say we were good? No. Our team is in the dumps and bringing RichRod is with merit, but I don't like it as a direction in which our program is going because it means we're spending tons of money we don't have to appease him and grant his every wish, including dropping 10 million on a new scoreboard, some 35 million on a new facility that's taken the student recreation field away from the students and handed to the football program, AFTER they took over the old baseball stadium and didn't give it to the students as a recreation field like they said they would. All this is being funded by the school jacking up tuition by an additional 5k a semester, which is absurd. All of this is being done in the name of turning our school from a basketball school into a football school, which is stupid because you just can't do those kinds of things overnight, especially when your basketball team has a history and a national title under it's belt and the football team has absolutely nothing of note. We're not a football school. We were never a football school. We will never be a football school. And I'm happy with that.
We deserved to loose to Nevada and we should have. I'm not defending our team. If I was, do you really think I'd be bashing our coach and program?
Who are you to flame
Mr. Port Chester posing as Greenwich?
Si habla that
I went to Greenwich High School, Western Middle School and Glenville Elementary. My house is literally on the border between the two towns. Mailbox is in Port Chester and the house is in Greenwich. We pay taxes to CT although I had the option of attending school in Rye Brook (I'm not Jewish so I took a pass on that). Would you like me to email you my address so you can go check on Google maps to confirm what I said? As far as I'm concerned, I'm all Greenwich, I just tell folks I'm not from there when there's banter against the proverbial 1%, because there are tons of folks who automatically assume that being from Greenwich means I'm in the 1% and a trust fund baby who drives a Beamer. I'm as far from the Greenwich stereotype as one can get whilst still being white, not in poverty and decently educated.
And I'm not hating on ND either, I'm just pointing a few things out. For what it's worth, a good friend of mine's brother played for them. My close circle of friends when I studied abroad were all from Notre Dame, and they looked after me as if I was their younger brother, something for which I will always be grateful for. I have a ton of respect for their institution. Did I think their football team was overrated? Absolutely, and now it's in plain sight that they were.
My bump was a joke. It's obvious you're still reeling over the fact that your favorite pro team stupidly decided to keep that fat oaf of a head coach, which was the reason they sucked this year.

I would like to "create" the templates for "404", "coming soon" etc. pages, pack them with one of my jQuery plugins and sell on Envato marketplace. However im coder, not designer, and have some difficulties in drawing any valuable design.
1. Does someone know where FREE PSD or HTML5 templates can be found? So that they could be freely sold here AFTER incorporating/implementing my own jQuery plugins into them.
2. in case my first question is too naive. Would you (designer) collaborate with me (coder) on creation of a series of such templates under the next conditions: a) in case of PSD templates you can sell them on Graphicriver/Themeforest and have 100% from sales; b) resulting HTML5 templates packed with my jQuery plugings will be selling exclusively on Themeforest on 50/50 basis.

That is correct, unless author is not against, right? And its exactly the reason for my second question
Why not just sell your plugins on Codeanyon on their own? you are not going to get anymore for adding it to a 404 page

Special Correspondent
CHENNAI: The Andnaman and Nicobar Coast Guard apprehended 14 poachers from the Northern Group of Islands on Wednesday.
A Coast Guard ship sighted a suspicious dinghy 12 nautical miles west of Interview Island. The boat, on seeing the Coast Guard ship, tried to speed away. However, all the 14 Myanmarese poachers were apprehended.
The poachers had come to the Andaman Islands to collect sea cucumbers, Coast Guard officials said. The boat had diving equipment, diesel and ration for many days. The boat was towed to the nearest port at Diglipur, and the poachers were handed over to the local police.
Fishermen rescued
In another incident, a Coast Guard helicopter on Thursday rescued five fishermen stranded in a remote location on the Little Andaman Island.
The helicopter, on a routine surveillance mission, sighted the fishermen. Their boat engine had failed and they had run out of rations.
Two fishermen, who required medical attention, were airlifted to their village at V.K. Pur, near Hutbay.
As the others did not want to leave their boat, food and water was supplied to them during a subsequent sortie.

In a day and age when images have become one of the primary ways of communication, here is a look into events leading to the invention of the camera and its further technological advancement.
Instagram, Snapchat have made taking pictures a second nature to most amongst the tech savvy crowd. However during the early days of the camera, posing for the image itself was a task.
The video briefly takes us through the transition of photography through the century. Using cutout animation, this video is a delightful narration of the history of advancement of camera.
Though, it merely looks at still photography and skips several wonderful and significant motion camera inventions, the video will still put light on little known facts on the invention of the camera.

That Casey Veggies is a very talented individual has been evident for some time now. Rapping hard since the age of just 12 (we like that number, obviously), Casey began his assault on rap greatness with the release of 'Customised Greatly Vol .1' in 2007 and since then his rise as part of the new west revolution has been astounding, and on the way to being astronomical. At this rate he may well be the first Veggies to go into orbit, like some crazy-assed Cold War experiment gone right.
But we digress. An internet champion of the MySpace generation, and catalyst and cohort to a resurgence in West Coast rap that includes his collaborative work with the Odd Future crew, collectively and individually, Overdoz, Dom Kennedy, Pac Div and many others too numerous to mention, Casey Veggies is at the center of something very special. But always with his own unique grind and purpose. In fact, we're increasingly regarding 2011 as the 'Summer of Veggies', as the buzz around him grows to maximum decibels, and following on from his first national tour, slaying crowds coast to coast and over borders. And all the while excelling (as the now familiar story goes) in graduating from high school.
The road is long and treacherous, but so far the steps he's taken are nothing short of impressive. From the afore mentioned tour to increasing scene stealing cameos, nationwide buzz, and a slew of releases including the brilliant 'Sleeping In Class' LP, soon-to-be-released retake on the massive 'Ridin' Round Town', and many more exciting plans afoot. Not least of all further Twelve Bar clothing collaborations. With the backing of the ever-splendid Peas'n'Carrots International crew, the world is increasingly looking like something of an oyster to the Inglewood massive. We chose the equally excellent 'Other Things' for inclusion in our summer Pink Panties playlist, another highlight from the 'Sleeping In Class' sessions. But for us, 'The Panties' will always be a pivotal element of the CV tale, and like the underwear itself, something we always like to hear drop.

Nicks, Fogerty, more perform with Grohl in NYC
Musician Dave Grohl performs on stage at the Sound City Players concert at The Manhattan Center Hammerstein Ballroom, Wednesday, Feb. 13, 2013, in New York. (Photo by Brad Barket/Invision/AP)
NEW YORK (AP) — Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters played house band for Stevie Nicks, John Fogerty, Rick Springfield and others at a sold-out concert.
Grohl held an all-star, three-hour-plus show with those rock icons, who performed at the Sound City Studios in Van Nuys, Calif., in the late 1960s through the early '90s, and are the subjects of Grohl's just-released directorial debut, the documentary "Sound City."
Grohl kicked things off with Alain Johannes, yelling after the first song: "It's going to be a long (expletive) night. You know that, right?"
It was, and the crowd at the Hammerstein Ballroom roared as Lee Ving of Fear, Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick, Brad Wilk of Rage Against the Machine and others took the stage.

Grohl played the guitar during most sets, sang background — sometimes lead — and also worked as drummer.
When Nicks, the last of the special guests (or "Sound City Players") hit the stage, she emerged in all black and in glasses. Her raspy vocals were matched by Grohl on "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around." He stared at her while she sang; she put her hands in the air.
Each act performed for nearly 25 minutes, and clips of the "Sound City" film played in between their sets. The film explores the then-rusty Sound City Studios where classic albums by Guns 'n Roses, Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty, Neil Young, Van Halen, Nirvana, REO Speedwagon and others were created.
Wednesday night's performers are part of the line-up for the film's soundtrack, "Sound City: Real to Reel," due out March 12.

He who insists ... wins
View Single Post
Gnarly Adventurer
Joined: Jun 2007
Location: Limassol, Cyprus
Oddometer: 126
6th of August.
Got up early, had a coffee, thanked our friend and back we go to the Nicosia border crossing section with no need of an insurance, since we bought one the day before (€20) for one month and is ONLY valid in the Northern section and NOWHERE else. Stamped again for entry and continue to Kerynia.
Photo from the small port of Kerynia.
We find the ship agency at 8.30, checked the passports and saw that my friends is expired but "
there is no problem, show the ID
", they said. So we go to the ship as instructed only to find that we must wait for 3 hours in the sun, not even an umbrella is available.
The ship leaves at 12pm and after 8 hours we arrive at Tasucu port in Turkey.
Here comes the fun part.
We go through various sections that there not in any order but you ask and keep going back and forward like a yo yo until we hit the jackpot, "Problem" he said, "expired passport". We showed the ID, as they told us, but the answer is no, only passport is accepted and nothing else.
After 3 hours we are left for last without getting anywhere so to make a long story short, the decision was my friend has to leave, but, as there is no ferry back to Cyprus, he has to leave the bike there and return with a passenger ship and they will send the bike on Sunday midnight with the agency to Cyprus.
I on the other hand had to leave my friend, the port area, enter Turkey with my bike and this was something they insisted on.
Not accepted by him but not much he could do about it, i stated that i will not leave the port and my friend behind but we go together. That was it, they were surprised that i was willing to go in to custody all night and not leave without him.
Here we are together chatting, programming with a "complimentary" sleep-over in Turkey under custody, waiting to depart Turkey and go back to Cyprus
without our bikes
and to return later, some way, with the question on coming back ...
to collect the bikes and leave again with the next ferry?
to collect them and continue our trip?
Cyprus - Greece - Italy - Austria Alps Included
Cyprus - Greece - Bulgaria 5k in 12 days

Very figure flattering
By RITA
from RICHMOND HILL
This dress is very figure flattering I love it! I usually take a size 10 but since they only had this in an 8 I took a chance..Glad I did it fits a little snug but is still comfortable. Love the zipper pockets and the matrial is soft, great buy.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great dress!
By Bling Queen
from Mississauga
This dress is a great deal! The fabric is lovely and soft to touch, and does not feel like it will pill. The cut is flattering and the quality of the metal zipper is quite good. I purchased size 6, which in some lines fits tight around the hips, but this dress fits well, with room to spare. Definitely a keeper!
So Nice
By Happy Shopper
from Saskatchewan
This Spence dress was a real surprise...looked good on TV but better when I was able to try it on.The fabric is such a nice weight and the dress is so well made...excellent quality.Purchased the Black-Brown and the color is so nice.Will buy from Spense again.

Great versitile little dress
By Forthy
from Kitchener Ontario
I purchased 2 other sale priced Spense dresses along with this one and was disappointed with the fit and quality and they had to be returned. I was afraid the same would happen with this colourblock in medium, purple/black but it turned out to be a complete hit and the fit was perfect and feels awesome on. It is so versitile and can be worn alone, with jackets, sweathers and awesome jewellery to change the look to how ever you want. You don't want to miss out on this fabulous dress as it is figure flattering, comfortable and very easy on the eyes.

By Jewel Girl
from Ottawa, Ontario
The black/brown colour combination is so stylish and lovely. The gold pocket zippers are slanted, giving an edgy look. With brown or black tights, pumps or boots, this is a winner. It is so stunning and soft and comfortable, I should have bought two because I will certainly wear it out!Fabulous!

If it's hard to meet people in a busy metro like Mumbai, it's harder to strike up a conversation with someone you like.
And it's worse if you are at the receiving end of these pearls...
'Your father must be a terrorist, because you are a bomb!"
'I need a patient kind of guy , who listens to me all the time...'
So guys, if you think you have it all figured it out on how to pick up girls, think again. All your best thought, 'original' pick-up lines have always failed, haven't they?
No need to worry now, as this new video will shatter your myths on what works and probably doesn't on approaching girls as the 'Mythbusters' are here to help you. Watch and learn what women think of your 'smooth moves.'
And ladies, if you want to know what the guys believe is the best way to chat up girls, hear some gems and also some real decent moves Mumbai men have.

Children's Laureate
Noughts and Crosses author Malorie Blackman has been named Britain's Children's Laureate. The post recognises outstanding achievement and the importance of exceptional authors in encouraging reading.
Blackman, whose books tackle issues including racism and ethnic identity will use the role to get "more young people reading more."
"I aim to make reading more irresistible and I want more children to love and be enthusiastic about stories and books," she said. She will promote the availability of a wider range of literature for children.
New Book
Jonah Lehrer, the best-selling author who has acknowledged using fake quotes and had two books pulled, has reached agreement on a new book.
Simon & Schuster announced Thursday that it will publish a book by Lehrer with the working title The Book of Love. No publication date has been set.
Lehrer had written three previous books for Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.
Women's Prize
U.S. author AM Homes has won the Women's Prize for Fiction for her book, May We Be Forgiven.
The 30,000-pound award, formerly known as the Orange Prize, was presented at a ceremony in London by actress Miranda Richardson, the chairwoman of the judging panel.
Richardson said Homes' book was chosen because it "most ably fulfils the criteria of this award: originality, accessibility and excellence."

Good Night, and Good Luck
Shivah Stars
Each week, we select the most interesting Jewish obituary. This week, it's that of Joseph Wershba, who died of pneumonia Saturday at 90. Over the past several years, his greatest claim to fame could have been that he was portrayed by Robert Downey, Jr., in the George Clooney film Good Night, and Good Luck, which is about CBS news anchor Edward R. Murrow's crusade against McCarthyism in the 1950s (Wershba's wife, the former Shirley Lubowitz, was played by Patricia Clarkson; Shirly Wershba survives her husband).
But from the 1950s on, Wershba was known primarily for his journalism: First under Murrow at CBS (where he interviewed a prominent former military officer who had been discharged because his father subscribed to "questionable" publications); as a reporter for the New York Post; and as one of the six original producers on CBS's new newsmagazine, something called 60 Minutes. At this last stop, two of his segments, both with Morley Safer, won Emmys: One, from 1971, on "What Happened in Tonkin Gulf;" and another, from 1978, which was a profile of the legendary Jerusalem mayor Teddy Kollek. Hey, CBS: Please put this last thing online?
