Tie case was high quality, loved it. 100% satisfied. Arrived quickly. Beautiful gift box. Will definitely order again from leatherology. Tie case made a great gift.
Gorgeous and love the packing, made a wonderful gift!
I'm very satisfied with the quality of leather and gift wrapping. So elegant and an outstanding price. I would definitely order again soon.
This was a quick and easy purchase. I got the gift in the mail within a week -- and that includes getting the initials etched on it as well. Husband was pleased with it. The perfect gift for the traveling business man.
Product shipped promptly and was exactly as described on the website. Quality was good and I will use Leatherology again for future gifts.
I bought this as a birthday gift for my boyfriend who will be traveling a lot for work. He really liked this idea and he thought the product was really great! The leather was very high quality and the monogramming came out really nicely! It was very difficult to find a nice travel tie case online for a reasonable price, and this ended up being great!
I bought this as a gift for my son. It is absolutely lovely and high quality. I trust he will use it for years! I could not be happier.
Excellent product and wonderful customer service. My new favorite online store!
I ordered this for my husband and was a little nervous about the price vs. quality since I couldn't hold it in person. When i received the order I was very pleased. The product is very attractive and the leather feels very soft. I was even happy with the packaging this came in -- looked very professional and doesn't need any extra wrapping(is a gift for his birthday). I know my husband will be happy with this and it was worth every penny. I was sad that the next day they offered a free gift with purchase because now I want more of their products! :)
This product arrived on time and in better condition than I expected, my only concern was, because I live in Canada, I never received a tracking number as I was supposed to, however, customer service was very good in letting me know where my package was and when it would arrive!
We purchased this with monograms for our son for Christmas. The order process was efficient and he loves the product. It was quite reasonably priced compared to similar items in Canada. Time for delivery was more than we expected, but I'm sure that's the US/Canada issue, and it still arrived before Xmas. Thanks very much!
Handsome product. Excellent quality. Matches everything I have gotten for him from Leatherology!
My husband absolutely loved the look and feel of his new tie case! The leather is rich and quality superb.
Perfect! Nicely wrapped and beautifully personalized.
The order came on time and in great condition. The packaging and both for the tie case is beautiful and saves me the effort of wrapping it! The quality is amazing and I cannot wait to give it to my boyfriend!
I gave this case to my son and he seemed to really like it. The leather was the Italian sandalwood and was beautiful. The only thing that would have been nicer would be if it was a tad longer as he uses Xlong ties and they will work but not as well as a regular length.
My son travels for business a lot. I purchased the tie case to protect his expensive ties from wrinkling. He loved it.
The case was lovely and the packing was excellent. This was a gift for a friend and it was incredibly well received. The monogram looked great as well. 5/5!
This tie case is exceptional in every way. Stunned by quality and attention to detail, especially with packaging. Nicest tie case I have ever owned, and far from the most expensive.
Worked well for an overseas trip. Held 4 ties, cuff links, and stays. Fit nicely into a men's garment bag. Quality seems solid. Look and feel is good. Beautifully packaged.
Beautiful. Love the pocket for cuff links also. The only suggestion would be a way to hang in a closet.
I ordered this for my husband for Christmas with his initials on it. He absolutely loved it. I can't say enough good things about the quality!
I sent this item as a gift. Have not spoke with the recipient as of this date. I trust it arrived safely and was in good condition AND was liked.
This was a surprise for my son and he is so happy with it.
quality, handsome item. This will satisfy the discerning individual for sure!
I think these cases cases turned out so well. The embossed monograms on the leather were well done and even the gift boxes were classy. Just wish I would have been offered free shipping after ordering 8 of them!
Loved the leather tie case. beautifully packaged. Came on time. Easy to order especially with the monogramming. Thanks!
The Leather Tie Case is very nice, but way too large and heavy to travel with.
Tie case was easy to order & delivered in a timely manner. It was packaged well for shipping & exceeded my expectations. The quality of workmanship is good & should last me a long time. I would recomend this product to anyone who travels.
Well made, good feel, a very useful different than average gift. Will probably order this again.
Great quality product! I was nervous about the zipper possibly being difficult before I purchased, but it works great. Product looks very sharp and the leather is fantastic, great gift for husbands, dads and boyfriends!
Wonderful and unusual, but practical gift item. Excellent quality and finish.
Very impressed with the quality of product delivered. I am going to order more as I was pleased with the overall product, the initial engraving, the color, etc. I ordered a black and a brown tie case and both exceeded my expectations.

What We Do
Research in this laboratory uses the model organism C. elegans (a roundworm) to address complex molecular and cell biological questions that are often impossible to investigate directly using human cell lines or mammalian animal models. Rather than being focused on a single disease, the laboratory relies on a common way of thinking about biological problems and an interest in using model organisms as a way to understand human biology.

By Claire Walla
Joe Winchell wasn't always a monster.
As a sophomore at Pierson High School, he discovered his passion for the stage when he agreed to take a small role in a friend's play.
"I actually didn't say anything," Winchell recalled. "But I remember having a lot of fun."
He has since gone on to study theater in college, and perform in numerous local productions, most recently signing on to play King Duncan in a rendition of "Macbeth" being staged this summer as part of the Long Island Shakespeare Festival.
Yet this week marks a major turn in the young actor's career. Now, in movie theaters across the country, Winchell is making his big screen debut.
As "Jellyfish Guy."
Yes, that's Winchell beneath the large, translucent fish head and iridescent body suit standing behind Will Smith's character in "Men In Black III." (You can catch him lumbering over James Edwards about 15 minutes into the film.)
Winchell, a Sag Harbor native, simply answered an open casting call in New York City at the urging of a fellow acting friend in the summer of 2010. And — as luck would have it — he walked away with a part.
"They were looking for tall people," Winchell explained, very matter-of-factly. At 6'2" with a wiry build, it turns out Winchell had the perfect proportions for an intergalactic jellyfish.
To prepare for the role, Winchell had to take a cast of his face, which he said wasn't too terrible (even though he had to sit still for a good 15 minutes and breathe through a straw while the plaster hardened).
The biggest challenge came on set.
The mask itself was heavy, made up of two pieces that came together at the bridge of his nose — "I couldn't really see, but I could hear," Winchell explained — and the costume was made of two different jumpsuits: a tight-fitting bottom layer covered by a loose-fitting plastic layer.
"It was awkward as hell," Winchell said.
And hot.
"There were all these white lights beaming down on us, and when I would get too hot, the suit would start fogging up," he added, only somewhat sheepishly. "In between every take they had to fan me down."
But, while sweating profusely and visually impaired, Winchell said he was thrilled to be surrounded by well-trained professionals — that made it all worthwhile.
He took mental notes on their techniques. Tommie Lee Jones performed vocal exercises before scenes; Will Smith did push-ups in between takes. But, he noted, Smith also spent time talking about the dynamics of his character and the evolution of the aliens with director Barry Sonnenfeld.
"I loved the fact that he was taking the time to make this good," Winchell added. "One of the last things I heard him say before we were finished shooting was, 'This ain't easy. If it were easy, everyone could do it.'"
For Winchell, standing there on set in a jellyfish head, the statement seemed to resonate.

If his super-human grip is any indication, Liam Hodge is going to be just fine.
That was not always the case, however, when the son of Ben and Selena Hodge was airlifted to the Blair E. Batson Hospital for Children in Jackson in the early hours on Thursday, April 19, 2012, barely a day after he was born.
"Wednesday was the best day of our lives," Selena Hodge said. "Thursday was the worst."
Selena Hodge said her son suffers from 22q deletion syndrome, a condition characterized by a deletion of part of the twenty-second chromosome.
Ben Hodge, Liam's father, said his son's condition resulted in two heart defects, including a hole between his two ventricles.
"The first day there, the doctors were figuring everything out, so it was a lot of bad news all at once," Ben Hodge said. "He'll have open-heart surgery when he's about five or six months."
Along with the heart defects, Liam Hodge is at risk for a myriad of complications, something Ben Hodge said he and his wife will have to watch throughout Liam's life.
"There's a chance he could develop learning disabilities and other problems, but we just don't know because nothing is set in stone," Ben Hodge said. "There'a a lot of stuff we have to keep our eyes open for."
The bad news the Hodges received, however, was trampled by the love and support shown by their families and friends.
"It started the first day," Selena Hodge said. "You sometimes don't realize how loved you are. And for Liam, people hadn't even met him and there was already so much love for him."
Since returning home to Starkville from Jackson, that love and support continued to grow. Through the work of family and friends, including Georgia Love Graham, "A Night for Liam" will be held Friday, June 1 at Dave's Dark Horse Tavern from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m., with another event taking place at Rick's Cafe later in the summer.
The Tavern will host a line-up of bands featuring Pel + AA, Bill Cooke, Hardluck Chuck, John Brocato, Flathead Ford and Young Agent Jones. One hundred percent of the money collected at the door will be given to the Hodges, including ten percent of drink sales and one dollar from every Pabst Blue Ribbon sold.
The money raised will help the Hodges with current and future medical expenses, including travel and lodging for repeat trips to Jackson.
"Without these benefits, I don't know how we'd be able to do all of it," Ben Hodge said.
Selena Hodge said the support has meant the world to her family during this difficult time.
"It's overwhelming," Selena Hodge said. "We're so thankful to Georgia for organizing these benefits, and to Dave Hood and Rick Welch for hosting them."
Ben Hodge said he is looking forward to the event Friday, which will see the new father reunite with his band Young Agent Jones.
"It's always a blast playing with those guys," Ben Hodge said. "And it'll be nice to have Liam out earlier in the night."
Selena Hodge said she is looking forward to a night out and introducing her son to people for the first time.
"It'll be nice to get out of the house," she said. "I want people to meet Liam and just understand that he is okay."
Both parents said their son showed an early affinity toward music.
"When I was pregnant, he seemed to like folk music a lot," Selena Hodge said. "He didn't seem to kick as much though when Ben's band played."
Ben Hodge disagreed.
"I like to think he was just completely entranced by it," he said.
The couple said they have been grateful for the support they have received from family, friends and hospital staff, but mostly they are grateful for each other.
"We've learned so much about ourselves," Selena Hodge said. "It has brought us so much closer handling this together."
Above all, the couple said they are ready to face whatever comes their way, and that their son is not giving up any time soon.
"He's very strong," Selena Hodge said. "He's a fighter."

"The five apartments of this small private house in residential West Village pay homage to icons of painting: all are named after great masters and are very comfortably furnished. There are numerous good restaurants, bakeries, and supermarkets in the immediate vicinity." - Merian New York, March 2008; the leading travel guide book in Germany
"These beautifully furnished apartments in this Greenwich Village townhouse in a quiet side street are a great base for downtown Manhattan. Highly recommended." - City Living Magazine (U.K.), April 2009
"West Eleventh Historic Townhouse has spacious apartments with high ceilings, giving you total comfort." - Holiday in New York, Japanese Guide Book, April 2009
Greenwich Village is largely a landmarked district. The homes of artists, writers, actors, public personalities and several scandalous events are here for the discovery. In Russell Shorto's recently published book, The Island at the Center of the World, we learned that a Dutch settler from the Long Island Village of Greenwyck (Pine District) circa 1650, would relocate to Manhattan and give his property that name (it would seem to be from this not from English sources that Greenwich Village would receive its name).

Steven Sørli began his harpsichord making career as an apprentice of the famous Boston harpsichord maker, Frank Hubbard in 1971. He quickly became skilled in all facets of the craft and was especially gifted in the art of decoration. Steven set up his own workshop to design, make and adorn harpsichords individually from scratch. His construction process relies on intuition and ingenuity to ensure a serviceable and singular work of art. The sound qualities achieved by Mr. Sørli are often described as having a distinctive antique tone. Innate artistic abilities contribute to a tasteful blend of color and form that add a complimentary balance to the tonal shades. In 1982 he was awarded a craftsman's fellowship grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. Over 73 instruments have left his workshop and are scattered throughout the United States and abroad.
At the turn of the century, Mr. Sørli began designing many models of the lute-harpsichord or lautenwerk. There are many words and spellings of this instrument including lautenwerke, lautenwerck, lautenclavicymbel and theorbenflügel (theorbo-harpsichord). An example of the plural form is lautenwerke or lautenwerken. This type of instrument was originally fitted with gut strings and sounds very much like a lute or nylon-strung guitar. The response to this revival of the lautenwerck has been quite positive.
The lautenwerk models that have emerged from the Sørli shop reveal a refreshing texture of sound, action and visual beauty. Steven uses fluorocarbon strings which can be easily altered to sound identical to real gut. The bass octave is fitted with copper-wound nylon to provide a deep resonant effect. The decor incorporates the natural beauty of the woods used and all the finishes are organic and non-toxic.
Mr. Sørli is also the first harpsichord maker to resurrect the keyed lyre or clavicytherium with an open lyre. This upright instrument is inspired by the oil painting "Marcantonio Pasqualini Crowned by Apollo" by Andrea Sacchi (1641). It has one choir of 8' gut or synthetic gut strings with a range of GG-d3. The total height is 81" and takes up only a 37" by 18" floor space. The sound from the small soundboard just above the keyboard was frequently described as "magical" at the Boston Early Music Festival. The sound has a sweet, hollow, vocal quality that radiates out from both sides of the soundboard when the back lid is open. This instrument resembles a lute and harp in sound and is amazingly versatile. Place your order early for one of the musical sensations of the century. Recent owners of the Sørli clavicytherium are Peter Sykes, Julianne Baird, Mark Shuldiner, Margaret Irwin-Brandon, the Conservatoire de Musique de Genève and Cristina Banegas of Uruguay. Listen to 20 minutes of this unique sound in the "Sound Samples Page". You can also view and listen to Ryan Layne Whitney playing his clavicytherium on YouTube: Click Here For Video
The standard decor includes birds-eye maple key tops with carved key fronts, walnut sharps, stained and painted case, intricate parchment or gilt cast rose, elegantly turned legs and tasteful music desk. Also included are plastic jacks (wooden optional), unique transposing system (allowing some jacks with no dampers), regulating tools and a padded moving cover. Harpsichords can be made to withstand a humidity range of 40%-90% or 10%-65%. Many standard models are available to order and the customer is encouraged to custom-order an instrument to suit their specific needs. Check the Available For Sale page for the instruments currently available for delivery.

This is in response to Ponder Stibbons's "Theory" thread, but I felt that it deserved it's own thread:
I have a theory that chickens are faster than the speed of light.
Let us start at the beginning, as any decent scientists should, and present the most basic query that we may.
Chickens are our primary concern, specifically the composition, and behavior of your typical rural or fast-food variety. When we consider the composition of chickens, we find that they are, like most earth poultry, composed primarily of hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon compounds. Not at all unusual. But when we consider the more highly evolved fast-food chickens, we discover that due to an exothermic reaction and the application of external mixtures (marinations) the chicken's composition becomes highly unpredictable and we must therefore resort to chaos theory to determine it's true composition. As we shall discover later, the true composition of a chicken cannot be acurately observed at the same time as it's location and velocity (due to the Sanders uncertainty principle), and so we can never be 100% sure that the chicken whose composition we have sampled is the one we intended to sample or some other chicken somewhere else.
When we consider the behavior of the chicken, we find that the chicken is seemingly an animal domesticated to the unique environment of food acquisition. The chicken, from it's fetal egg state until the state of it's demise is held within the confines of a farm-like atmosphere, it's sole purpose in life, to lay eggs, which humans eat, and then to be butchered and devoured (by humans).
In customized situations, the more desirable chickens are allowed to mate with the chicken's male counterpart, the rooster. Under these conditions the chicken will produce fertilized eggs which will, at a later point in time, become chickens. In this way the chicken population may be maintained, expanded, or contracted. The chicken is, for the most part, native to all areas of the earth, even that chaotic pool of mutated genes we call Australia.
So the question that arises is: How can the chicken, which is a wild animal native to areas all over the world, only be found in the domesticated rural environment? When is the last time you saw a chicken flying wildly over the mid-western frontier skies of America? Does the wild chicken soar gracefully over the burning sands and oil fields of the Middle East? Of course not! The chicken, an animal found abundantly in the rural environment does not appear in the wilds.
For that matter, when is the last time you saw a chicken fly? (More than a few feet anyway.) We know that the chicken is biologically classified, as is other poultry, as a flying bird. We may see the duck, the goose, the swan, or turkey, flying in a wild environment, but the chicken is never seen flying or in the wild, even though we know that it must exist there.
The only scientific answer must be that the chicken does fly, and furthermore, it must fly in the wild, but we, the normal human observers, never see it.
The Chicken Theory's primary goal is to answer that question. But in answering that question we find that we must search elsewhere for new questions which may arise. As responsible scientists we must go about these duties according to scientific theory. The next step, after establishing the problem, is to form a hypothesis. The hypothesis of the chicken theory is this: The chicken can not be seen flying by the common observer because the chicken moves at a speed which exceeds that of light.
If we accept that hypothesis, we understand why the chicken cannot be seen flying in the wild, or even in a rural environment for more than a few feet. The chicken, as it approaches the speed of light, accelerates to a velocity which can not be observed because it transcends the movement of light, itself. This hypothesis fits perfectly the facts that are presented to us. The chicken, when in the wild flies only at FTL speeds, and lands only in rural farm areas, where it is treated with the kind of respect that it has been bred to appreciate.
Why chickens do not flee from certain death when holiday seasons come around is unknown at this point, but it is commonly believed that chickens are either willing to die for religious reasons, or they do in fact flee, but their extreme speed creates a time paradox and thus the time-line is split into two alternate realities, one in which they have fled, and one in which they have not fled.
Much like electrons, chickens come and go from area to area, zipping in and out at the speed of light (or the speed of chickens in this case). One might ask how it is that a farmer is able to keep the chickens that he owns. Again, much like electrons, chickens are attracted to a farm-like environment. While electrons rotate around a central proton, occasionally escaping to another atom, the same is true for chickens. Chickens and electrons are subject to a probability cloud. While the number of chickens at a given farm may fluctuate, it always remains relatively close to a standard number. The exact mathematics which can be used to approximate this chicken population belongs to a special theory of trigonometric mathematics developed by Father Eghed of the Episcopal Churches of Fried Chicken. This special mathematical theory, based on the earlier works of Sir Issac Newton, is known as Cluculas.
This brings us to the ground breaking experimental work of Colonel Finneus T. Sanders of the U.S. Department of Advanced Research of Poultry Agency (DARPA). His use of the underground super conducting super collider facilities in Kentucky resulted in the formulation of his Spice/Thyme theory as well as the release of nearly 40,000 rads of radioactive coolant into the Kentucky ground water supply. Col. Sanders was awarded the Noble Peace Prize for his humanitarian endeavors in the field of chicken acceleration and collision.
The Spice/Thyme theory is best explained as the proposition that there exist eleven original HERBS (Hyper-Extensive Regional Boundaries in Space), or dimensions, in the spice/thyme discontinuum. The first three have often been misconstrued by adherents to Einsteins "Space/Time" theory as Length, Width, Depth, and Time. It has, in fact been discovered by Col. Sanders that they are actually Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme. The other seven dimensions, being utterly alien to our limited human perception, have no official names. However, many scientists have decided to arbitrarily, and unconventionally name them: Up, Down, Left, Timothy Leary, Dopey, Sneezy, and Doc.
Given these new discoveries we can modify Einstien's equation for energy: E=mc^2. In the past this has been interpreted as meaning Energy is equal to Mass times the Speed of Light Squared. We now know that there is a speed which exceeds that of light. Therefore, we will replace the speed of light with the more appropriate "c": the Speed of Chicken.
The practical uses of this theory may not seem abundant now, but I believe that in the near future they will be necessary for the continued existence of mankind. Whether or not man can escape the humble fate of this planet, and reach the stars will depend on his ability to travel faster than the speed of light. At the current time only chickens are capable of this sort of travel, but through sincere research man should be to engage in the noble pursuit of mimicking the behavior of the chicken, and in doing so we will "chicken out" to other worlds.
This theory also provides supporting evidence for the existence of other parallel worlds. What would these worlds be like? Would there be a world where Hitler never existed? This is unlikely. After all, the only cause for these alterations in probabilistic reality are the results of chickens. Most likely these other worlds would vary only slightly in human respects. However, the world of chickens would be infinitely diverse.
Imaging the results: Worlds with chickens of exotic plumage, Chickens which clack instead of clucking, chickens which taste like something other than chicken, or perhaps even a world ruled entirely by chickens. As scientists, we must dedicate ourselves to discovering these brave new worlds and reaping the benefits they have to offer.
Opponents of the Chicken Theory would have us believe that the Chicken Theory is nothing but nonsense, and the ramblings of insane men. This is just not true. It may be true that the Chicken Theory challenges our own common sense. But these paradoxes of logic can be quickly resolved if we just take the time to understand the forces at work. For instance, the age old question: What came first: The Chicken or the Egg?
Aristotelian logic might demand that an active force is only possible given the pre-existence of a potential force. Some would claim the Egg comes first. On the other hand, an existential outlook might be that objects only exist through expressing action on the exterior world. By this ideology, the chicken must come first.
However, with understanding of the Chicken Theory, we know that both explanations are incorrect. The chicken, traveling faster than the speed of light, enters a hyper-spacial dimension in which time travels backwards. The chicken arrives at his destination before it left. Due to this unusual type of travel, time, as we know it, does not apply to the chicken. Earlier we explained how the Sanders uncertainty principle applies to a chicken.
As it turns out, it is impossible to know the given location and velocity of a chicken at any given time. Likewise, we cannot know the age of any chicken given its location. By this logic we must deduce that the chicken ages backwards at a speed greater than the world around him. The egg is layed before the chicken which layed it is born. Likewise the chicken exists in a time frame before the laying of the egg.
This is what is known as the Chicken Paradox. From the egg's own point of view, the egg came before the chicken. Likewise the chicken came before the egg from it's point of view. This has caused some radical scientists to speculate that there is actually only one chicken, and that it is continually laying eggs which turn out to be itself, and so on. Few chicken theory specialists take the Unified Chicken Theory seriously, but it has not yet been adequately refuted.
This isn't mine, but I like it.

Steelers playing for pridePosted by on December 27, 2012 – 7:00 pm
Linebacker LaMarr Woodley is accustomed to football season extending beyond the 16-game regular season schedule. Only once during his six-year career had the Steelers missed the playoffs, that being in 2009, and if you asked him a few months ago he would never have thought this year would be the second time it happened.
"We are not used to it, but we put ourselves in the situation so we have to deal with it," said Woodley. "It's frustrating knowing you had every opportunity to put yourself in a good position to be in the playoffs and you weren't able to."
Woodley said he can look back at different games, different plays, throughout the season and see what happened, see why the team is where they are today, particularly some of the games early in the season.
"We were giving up too many big plays early in the year, plays that went 30 or 40 yards for a touchdown," said Woodley. "Those plays hurt us. We gave up too many of those and were counting on the offense too much to bail us out when usually we take care of business."
The Steelers have one last chance to take care of business on Sunday when they host the Cleveland Browns at Heinz Field. It will be an opportunity for them to show that no matter the scenario, they aren't about to give up.
"We know what we are capable of. We know the talent we have here," said running back Jonathan Dwyer. "To be where we are is upsetting. Letting games slip away from us on stupid mistakes makes you want to do better.
"It's motivation for this week. You want to prove yourself each and every day you step on the field. This week we want to prove ourselves and finish on a good note."
All week players have been hearing the talk that the game doesn't mean much because there are no playoff implications. But for men who know what it means to wear the black and gold, there is plenty on the line. Most notably pride.
"I think it's definitely pride and wanting to end the season on a positive note," said Dwyer. "The season didn't go the way we wanted it to, but I think the best thing is to end in a good way to give us momentum heading in to the next year. You want to take it personal, make sure you do what you have to do and get the win for our team and our fans.
"You don't want to go out on a down note. The fans here deserve a win. Winning is a good way to go out. You want to end the season on a good note."
The Steelers will face a long offseason, one that will bring changes to the makeup of the team like every offseason does. And this week could be one final time to play together, and you can bet they are going to put it all on the line.
"The guys you have been lining up with, worked all year with, you get to go out there with them again," said receiver Jerricho Cotchery. "The reality is you might not line up to that guy again. You appreciate those moments and go out there and give it your all for them, the fans and this organization."

Friday Weird Science: Fatty Feces or Gassy Guano?
Does your poop float? Does it sink? Do you have floaters and sinkers depending on the day?
Maybe you're one of those people that never looks to see.
Nah, don't lie. You look.
So if you have looked, surely you've wondered...what makes poop FLOAT? I seem to recall asking my mother this once as a kid and she told me it was fiber and that fiber floats. Since I have now found out that, chemically, that's a dirty lie (she didn't know, so it wasn't intentional, and she always has promoted a high fiber diet), I continued to wonder...why does some poop float while other poop sinks?
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind. As it were.

With his tales of the "promised land" to which all animals retire after death, Moses is the novel's "religious" figure. Like his biblical counterpart, Moses offers his listeners descriptions of a place — Sugarcandy Mountain — where they can live free from oppression and hunger. At first, the pigs find him irksome, since they want the animals to believe that Animal Farm is a paradise and fear that the animals will be prompted by Moses' tales to seek a better place. However, as conditions on the farm worsen, the pigs allow Moses to stay because his tales offer the animals the promise of rest after a weary, toilsome life. As Karl Marx famously stated, "Religion is the opium of the people," and Moses' tales of Sugarcandy Mountain likewise serve as an opiate to the animals' misery.

NEW MARKET, Md., Dec. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- The eBay Plot: The eBay Detective Book 1
By Charles A. Salter
<hr />
Louella shivered again. Lots more to sell on eBay. But never again like this. Never before darting to work in the morning. Next time she'd choose a crowded place in the middle of the day. She didn't even know what the buyer looked like, only that he would meet her at six a.m. and would arrive in a white Lincoln Continental.

Speak of the devil.
Brad Stout is a US Army major, an expert in radiation defense at the military's premier radiation defense lab. He is assigned to monitor sales of radioactive products on eBay in an effort to prevent terrorists from getting their hands on illicit nuclear knowledge and materials that can make dirty bombs.
Brad has been on the trail of an eBay buyer who seems to be involved in a recent murder and who is prepping to make a dirty bomb. Brad is about to bring the situation under control when the tables turn and the eBay buyer is now stalking Brad's activity.
In this compelling dramatization of the never-before-told true story of how military scientists used eBay to help foil a developing dirty bomb plot, national security is in jeopardy. Brad picks up on the trail, but can he prevent a weapon of mass destruction in the nation's capital before it is too late?

Overgrown applications have given way to modular applications, driven by the need to break larger problems into smaller problems. Similarly large monolithic development processes have been forced to be broken into smaller agile development cycles. Looking at trends in software development, microservices architectures meet the same demands. Additional benefits of microservices architectures are compartmentalization and a limited impact of service failure versus a complete software malfunction. ...

The P.S. I Love You campaign was started last year by a high school student in West Islip, Brooke DiPalma, whose father committed suicide in 2010. His last words to his daughter were: I love you.
According to Pierson eighth grader and student council member Sheila Mackey, DiPalma's school banded together after the event and wore purple to express their support for her in her difficult circumstance.
"She said she walked into a sea of purple," explained Mackey who, along with other student council members, had heard DiPalma speak earlier this year at an anti-bullying conference they attended. "And that's what we wanted to do here."
"And we did!" Alex Kamper, the student council president, added.
In the vein of what DiPalma began at her school, the Pierson Middle School Student Council have successfully managed to create what they refer to as an atmosphere of support at Pierson. Last Friday, the middle school student body was unified with a sea of purple clothing and individual lockers were decorated with purple post-it notes bearing those three little words.
Purple is actually the national color for abuse prevention, said Helen Atkinson-Barnes of The Retreat, a domestic violence agency on the East End. Atkinson-Barnes was on-hand during the student-led activities last Friday, but she'd also been a presence on the Pierson campus the first two weeks in February, leading talks for seventh and tenth grade students on the elements of healthy relationships on behalf of The Retreat.
Student council members first learned about P.S. I Love You this past fall when they attended an anti-bullying conference put on by the Holocaust Center in Commack. In addition to presentations by DiPalma — who made a YouTube video about her struggle, and the good that eventually came of it — students watched a video made by a teen who had been bullied and became suicidal.
As part of their P.S. I Love You campaign, the Pierson students wanted to show these videos to their classmates.
"You could see jaws drop in the audience," said Mackey.
She went on to explain that student council members also came up with a concept of their own, called "mix-it-up at lunch," where students sat in groups according to their birth months, rather than their peer groups. The concept, Mackey continued, was to get students to mingle and learn about classmates they've never really talked to before.
Her fellow councilmember Ariana Moustakas said their goal was to raise awareness about these issues and encourage students to exercise more tolerance.
"We want to use this day to influence people," she began. "Because when everyone's nice to each other, it makes a big difference."
"The kids seemed a lot nicer," Mackey added. "I definitely want to bring it up to the high school."

Algae (sing. alga) are a large and diverse group of simple, typically autotrophic organisms, ranging from unicellular to multicellular forms. The largest and most complex marine forms are called seaweeds. They are photosynthetic, like plants, and "simple" because they lack the many distinct organs found in land plants. Though the prokaryotic cyanobacteria (commonly referred to as blue-green algae) were traditionally included as "algae" in older textbooks, many modern sources regard this as outdated and restrict the term algae to eukaryotic organisms. All true algae therefore have a nucleus enclosed within a membrane and chloroplasts bound in one or more membranes. Algae constitute a paraphyletic and polyphyletic group, as they do not all descend from a common algal ancestor, although their chloroplasts seem to have a single origin.
Algae lack the various structures that characterize land plants, such as phyllids and rhizoids in nonvascular plants, or leaves, roots, and other organs that are found in tracheophytes. They are distinguished from protozoa in that they are photosynthetic. Many are photoautotrophic, although some groups contain members that are mixotrophic, deriving energy both from photosynthesis and uptake of organic carbon either by osmotrophy, myzotrophy, or phagotrophy. Some unicellular species rely entirely on external energy sources and have limited or no photosynthetic apparatus.
All algae have photosynthetic machinery ultimately derived from the cyanobacteria, and so produce oxygen as a by-product of photosynthesis, unlike other photosynthetic bacteria such as purple and green sulfur bacteria.
The various sorts of algae play significant roles in aquatic ecology. Microscopic forms that live suspended in the water column (phytoplankton) provide the food base for most marine food chains. In very high densities (so-called algal blooms) these algae may discolor the water and outcompete, poison, or asphyxiate other life forms. Seaweeds grow mostly in shallow marine waters, however some have been recorded to a depth of 300 m.Some are used as human food or harvested for useful substances such as agar, carrageenan, or fertilizer.
The study of marine and freshwater algae is called phycology or algology.
The US Algal Collection is represented by almost 300,000 accessioned and inventoried herbarium specimens.
By modern definitions algae are eukaryotes and conduct photosynthesis within membrane-bound organelles called chloroplasts. Chloroplasts contain circular DNA and are similar in structure to cyanobacteria, presumably representing reduced cyanobacterial endosymbionts. The exact nature of the chloroplasts is different among the different lines of algae, reflecting different endosymbiotic events. The table below lists the three major groups of algae and their lineage relationship is shown in the figure on the left. Note many of these groups contain some members that are no longer photosynthetic. Some retain plastids, but not chloroplasts, while others have lost them entirely.
|Supergroup affiliation
|These algae have primary chloroplasts, i.e. the chloroplasts are surrounded by two membranes and probably developed through a single endosymbiotic event. The chloroplasts of red algae have chlorophylls a and d (often), and phycobilins, while those of the green alga have chloroplasts with chlorophyll a and b. Higher plants are pigmented similarly to green algae and probably developed from them, and thus Chlorophyta is a sister taxon to the plants; sometimes they are grouped as Viridiplantae.
|Excavata and Rhizaria
|Green alga
These groups have green chloroplasts containing chlorophylls a and b . Their chloroplasts are surrounded by four and three membranes, respectively, and were probably retained from an ingested green alga.
Chlorarachniophytes, which belong to the phylum Cercozoa, contain a small nucleomorph, which is a relict of the alga's nucleus.
Euglenids, which belong to the phylum Euglenozoa, live primarily in freshwater and have chloroplasts with only three membranes. It has been suggested that the endosymbiotic green algae were acquired through myzocytosis rather than phagocytosis.
|Chromista and Alveolata
|Red alga
These groups have chloroplasts containing chlorophylls a and c, and phycobilins. The latter chlorophyll type is not known from any prokaryotes or primary chloroplasts, but genetic similarities with the red algae suggest a relationship there.
In the first three of these groups (Chromista), the chloroplast has four membranes, retaining a nucleomorph in cryptomonads, and they likely share a common pigmented ancestor, although other evidence casts doubt on whether the Heterokonts, Haptophyta, and Cryptomonads are in fact more closely related to each other than other groups.
The typical dinoflagellate chloroplast has three membranes, but there is considerable diversity in chloroplasts among the group, and it appears there were a number of endosymbiotic events here. The Apicomplexa, a group of closely related parasites, also have plastids called apicoplasts. Apicoplasts are not photosynthetic but appear to have a common origin with dinoflagellates chloroplasts.
It was W.H.Harvey (1811 — 1866) who first divided the algae into four divisions based on their pigmentation. This is the first use of a biochemical criterion in plant systematics. Harvey's four divisions were: red algae (Rhodophyta), brown algae (Heteromontophyta), green algae (Chlorophyta) and Diatomaceae (Dixon, 1973 p.232).
In three lines even higher levels of organization have been reached, with full tissue differentiation. These are the brown algae, —some of which may reach 50 m in length (kelps)—the red algae, and the green algae. The most complex forms are found among the green algae (see Charales and Charophyta), in a lineage that eventually led to the higher land plants. The point where these non-algal plants begin and algae stop is usually taken to be the presence of reproductive organs with protective cell layers, a characteristic not found in the other alga groups.
The first plants on earth evolved from shallow freshwater algae much like Chara some 400 million years ago. These probably had an isomorphic alternation of generations and were probably heterotrichous. Fossils of isolated land plant spores suggest land plants may have been around as long as 475 million years ago.
The Smithsonian collection of algae has over 300,000 specimens.
Worldwide it is thought that there are over 5,000 species of red algae, 1,500 — 2,000 of brown algae and 8,000 of green algae. In Australia it is estimated that there are over 1,300 species of red algae, 350 species of brown algae and approximately 2,000 species of green algae totalling 3,650 species of algae in Australia.
Around 400 species appear to be an average figure for the coastline of South African west coast.
669 marine species have been described from California (U.S.A.).
642 entities are listed in the check-list of Britain and Ireland (Hardy and Guiry, 2006).
There has been dispersal in some species by ships, water currents and the like; further, some algae can quickly become entangled and make drifting mats. Two red species have been introduced from the Pacific to Europe and the Mediterranean: Bonnemaisonia hamifera Hariot and Asparagopsis armata Harvey, A. armata is a native of Australia.Colpomenia peregrina is a native of the Pacific but has also invaded Europe.
Algae are used by humans in many ways. They are used as fertilizers, soil conditioners and are a source of livestock feed. Because many species are aquatic and microscopic, they are cultured in clear tanks or ponds and either harvested or used to treat effluents pumped through the ponds. Algaculture on a large scale is an important type of aquaculture in some places.
Maerl is commonly used as a soil conditioner, it is dredged from the sea floor and crushed to form a powder. It is still harvested around the coasts of Brittany in France and off Falmouth, Cornwall (also extensively in western Ireland) and is a popular fertilizer in these days of organic gardening investigated Falmouth maerl and found that L. corallioides predominated down to 6 m and P. calcareum from 6-10 m (Blunden et al., 1981).
Chemical analysis of maerl showed that it contained 32.1% CaCO3 and 3.1% MgCO3 (dry weight).
Algae is commercially cultivated as a nutritional supplement. One of the most popular microalgal species is Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis), which is a Cyanobacteria (known as blue-green algae), and has been hailed by some as a superfood. Other algal species cultivated for their nutritional value include; Chlorella (a green algae), and Dunaliella (Dunaliella salina), which is high in beta-carotene and is used in vitamin C supplements.
In China at least 70 species of algae are eaten as is the Chinese "vegetable" known as fat choy (which is actually a cyanobacterium). Roughly 20 species of algae are used in everyday cooking in Japan.
Certain species are edible; the best known, especially in Ireland is Palmaria palmata (Linnaeus) O. Kuntze, also known as Rhodymenia palmata (Linnaeus) Kuntze, common name: dulse). This is a red alga which is dried and may be bought in the shops in Ireland. It is eaten raw, fresh or dried, or cooked like spinach. Similarly, Durvillaea antarctica is eaten in Chile, common name: cochayuyo.
Porphyra (common name: purple laver), is also collected and used in a variety of ways (e.g. "laver bread" in the British Isles). In Ireland it is collected and made into a jelly by stewing or boiling. Preparation also involves frying with fat or converting to a pinkish jelly by heating the fronds in a saucepan with a little water and beating with a fork. It is also collected and used by people parts of Asia, specifically China, Korea (gim) and Japan (nori) and along most of the coast from California to British Columbia. The Hawaiians and the Maoris of New Zealand also use it.
One particular use is in "instant" puddings, sauces and creams. Ulva lactuca (common name: sea lettuce), is used locally in Scotland where it is added to soups or used in salads. Alaria esculenta (common name: badderlocks or dabberlocks), is used either fresh or cooked, in Greenland, Iceland, Scotland and Ireland.
The oil from some algae have high levels of unsaturated fatty acids. Arachidonic acid (a polyunsaturated fatty acid), is very high in Parietochloris incisa, (a green alga) where it reaches up to 47% of the triglyceride pool (Bigogno C et al. Phytochemistry 2002, 60, 497).
Some varieties of algae are a vegetarian / vegan / plant based source of long chain essential omega-3 fatty acids Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) in addition to vitamin B12. Fish oil contains the omega-3 fatty acids, but the original source is algae, which are eaten by marine life such as copepods and passed up the food chain.
The natural pigments produced by algae can be used as an alternative to chemical dyes and coloring agents. Many of the paper products used today are not recyclable because of the chemical inks that they use, paper recyclers have found that inks made from algae are much easier to break down. There is also much interest in the food industry into replacing the coloring agents that are currently used with coloring derived from algal pigments. Algae can be used to make pharmaceuticalsSewage can be treated with algae as well Some cosmetics can come from microalgae as well. In Israel, a species of green algae is grown in water tanks, then exposed to direct sunlight and heat which causes it to become bright red in color. It is then harvested and used as a natural pigment for foods such as Salmon.

Deep in the rainforests of Ecuador is a land whose wild sights and sounds have remained virtually untouched by modern civilization - a lush paradise where jungle cats stalk their prey, rare reptiles slither, peculiar insects crawl and more than 500 species of colorful birds soar above.
At close to 5,000 feet in altitude on the east slope of the
Andes Mountains, the Wildsumaco Wildlife Sanctuary - the site of
one of UNCW's newest labs - is a hotbed of research opportunities
where students are paving the way for their dream jobs and
exploring a world beyond their wildest imaginations.
Journeying into the great unknown
In 2008, Francis Marion University (FMU) associate professor of biology Travis Knowles invited UNCW associate professor of biology Brian Arbogast to explore research opportunities with him in Ecuador.
"Sumaco is one of the richest and most diverse regions on Earth," Knowles said. "This biological wealth, coupled with the fact that the region has had very little scientific study, makes it a stunning location for biodiversity and ecological research."
After seeing Wildsumaco for himself that December, Arbogast invited UNCW graduate student Anne-Marie Hodge to scout research possibilities in the area. Hodge, who holds a prestigious National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship, decided to pursue a master's in biology at UNCW after learning about Wildsumaco from Arbogast at a research conference.
"The chance to work in an area that hadn't been surveyed before was very exciting," Hodge said. "There are researchers with decades of experience who never get this type of opportunity."
The unique wildcats of the Wildsumaco jungle, including the pumas, margays and ocelots, offered Hodge the perfect opportunity to explore her passion for carnivores. Hodge said carnivores are "the wobbly block at the top of the food chain," noting that while most people view the predators as strong creatures, their survival depends on the health of everything below them, including a large supply of land and food.
"Carnivores are a good indicator of the stability of their environment. The same thing that makes them dominate also makes them vulnerable. If an environment changes, they are the first to suffer," she said.
On her first trip to Wildsumaco in 2009, Hodge installed a system of non-invasive camera traps to study interactions among the diverse creatures of the Ecuadorian jungle. Her cameras captured a reality show of jungle mating, eating and sleeping habits 24 hours a day. The small but deadly margay quickly emerged as the star and became the focus of Hodge's research.
"When I got to the camera footage, it felt like Christmas. We had margays coming out of our ears," she said. "We didn't expect to see that. It was a great opportunity because so little is known about them."
Her camera traps were an ideal way to research the margay, an animal who Hodge said is difficult to study because of its small size (30-45 cm. tall), its tendency to hide in canopies, and, above all, its nocturnal predatory habits. According to Hodge, the wide-eyed margays are "on the track to being endangered" due to their sensitivity to forest fragmentation and over-hunting. The jungle cat's smooth, spotted leopard-like fur is of high value to traders.
"A lot of endangered species are highly studied. It's really great to examine an animal that almost no one knows about," Hodge said.
Exploring uncharted territory
"It was a no-brainer to offer more students the chance to develop projects in Wildsumaco," said Arbogast. "The research possibilities would be endless. The area had never been inventoried and we expected to find more and more new and rare species."
But, there was a problem - the isolated Wildsumaco offered few accommodations for researchers.
On their first trips, students and faculty operated out of the Wildsumaco Wildlife Sanctuary. Owned and preserved by Bonnie and Jim Olson and their friend Jonas Nilsson, the sanctuary is home to a lodge for bird watching enthusiasts nestled between two Ecuadorian villages. When UNCW and FMU began discussing long-term research possibilities, the Olsons and Nilsson volunteered to inexpensively lease their land so a field station could be built. FMU offered to sponsor the station, and a three-way partnership between UNCW, FMU and the sanctuary was born.
"We're excited about being able to help provide an increased number of students with the opportunity to learn first-hand about tropical biodiversity of the Sumaco area. With this knowledge we hope to better protect it," Bonnie Olson said.
Trailblazing a new frontier
By the time construction on the 2,000-square-foot Wildsumaco Biological Station began in the spring of 2011, Hodge's labors were yielding significant fruit. In less than two years, she had documented one-third of Ecuador's terrestrial carnivores within a five-square-kilometer area - the first ever recorded scientific survey of the area's numerous predators.
"Not only am I getting to study the margay, my camera survey captured the first verified records of several species at the site, including the jaguarundi and ocelot," said Hodge.
Hodge presented her preliminary findings at last year's annual meeting of the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology. She is finalizing her graduate thesis based on her fieldwork in Wildsumaco. She hopes that environmentalists can better protect the margay with the help of her findings about the species interaction with its environment.
"The opportunity to work at this site is what brought me to UNCW, and I think having this station will help attract more students in the future," she said.
FMU and UNCW continue to use Hodge's 20 camera traps to investigate the biodiversity of Wildsumaco.
The doors to the new Wildsumaco Biological Station opened in January 2012. The simple but comfortable facilities, owned by lead academic partner FMU and maintained by the Sanctuary, consist of three concrete-block buildings, which can house up to 18 people and are equipped with electricity.
"We envision it as a place where multiple cultures will meet, including the indigenous population and faculty and students from all over the world," Arbogast said.
Wildsumaco researchers regularly interact with local Ecuadorian citizens, and have collaborated extensively with scientific colleagues from Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador and Sumaco National Park. Although biological research will continue to expand in the area, the station was built with interdisciplinary collaborations in mind. The team hopes Wildsumaco will one day be a hub of research for students and faculty from fields of social work, education, nursing, Spanish and more.
"Research is an inherently collaborative effort," said FMU's Knowles. "We rely on the expertise of others constantly. In this case, we have been able to leverage resources collaboratively in a way that we couldn't have done separately. The potential for undergraduate and graduate level student research projects is astounding."For additional information visit:

If you want people to adopt your platform, make it free.
That's the lesson in this month's web usage statistics from NetMarketShare, which measure worldwide usage share of desktop and mobile operating systems and browsers.
Microsoft's Windows 8.1 clocked usage of 1.72 percent, doubling its share from the previous month. That gives the Windows 8.x family a total usage share of 9.25 percent after one full year on the market. (Historically speaking, it appears that Windows 8 is following the same adoption patterns as Windows XP, whose share of the installed base was also just under 10 percent after its first year on the market.)
Usage of Windows XP, which celebrated its 12th birthday in October, continues to drop precipitously in NetMarketShare's measurements as it heads toward its end-of-support date less than six months from now. For October, XP usage dropped to 31.24 percent, a new low. Windows 7 usage is virtually unchanged from the previous month, with just under half of all PCs running that flavor of Windows.

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

(Reuters) - Microsoft Corp Chief Executive Steve Ballmer is not the right leader for the world's largestsoftware company but holds his grip on it by systematically forcing out any rising manager who challenges his authority, claims a former senior executive who has written a book about his time at the company.
"For Microsoft to really get back in the game seriously, you need a big change in management," said Joachim Kempin, who worked at Microsoft between 1983 and 2002, overseeing the sales of Windows software to computer makers for part of that time. "As much as I respect Steve Ballmer, he may be part of that in the end."
As a senior vice president in charge of a crucial part of the company'sbusiness with direct access to co-founder Bill Gates, Kempin is the most senior former Microsoft executive to write a book critical of the company, which is famous for the loyalty of its ex-employees.
His criticism echoes that of investor David Einhorn of Greenlight Capital, who called for Ballmer to step down in 2011.

Bingo came into Cole Hein's life when he was just two-years-old in order to assist the boy with an undiagnosable disorder that stops Cole from breathing. The dog has saved Cole's life on countless occasions. When Bingo was diagnosed with a debilitating disease, Cole decided to create a "lick it list" of things he wanted for Bingo to experience before she dies.
Bingo is now 14 years old, and she has been diagnosed with something called Canine Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome and only given a few weeks to live. Cole's mom, Mandi Hein, told CTV that the night after they received the diagnosis, she heard Cole talking to Bingo in his bedroom. "I thought at first he was playing his video games. I listened and he was actually talking with Bingo about all the things he wanted to do with her."
Cole's list for Bingo included a trip together to Cole's favorite arcade, a photo shoot of them together, a walk around Bingo's favorite block – twice, and to feed Bingo dog treats from around the world. That last request was posted to Facebook and caught on. The Heins have received more treats than they possibly could have imagined, and there's no doubt that Bingo is getting to make the most of her final days with her best friend Cole.
