In the years between 1876 and 1882, dates when the Philadelphia Mint produced multiple millions of Shield nickels, the denomination was utterly neglected. Total business strike mintages for the intervening five years were in the low six figures, with the first two years, 1877 and 1878, contributing nothing at all to the total.
This is a Superb Gem Cameo proof representative of the former issue, which has the lower proof-only mintage of the two. Pale nickel-white surfaces are moderately contrasted on each side with a few small dots of greenish-gold border toning noted at the lower obverse.

"I was so happy to see that TinyPrints had cards for the "Chinese"New Year! The card turned out beautifully, love that the horse is in the background. I am also always happy when there are multiple photo spots, as we have 4 kids and can never choose just one family photo. One small thing (which is why 3 stars for design): in China, we just say "Happy New Year". I think you could do the exact same card and just put Happy New Year. The horse and the chinese character will indicate what you mean. A small thing, but it was my pet peeve with all the "chinese" new year cards. But, again, so happy that they were available on Tiny Prints. Now, if you could just put them inside a red envelope to more closely resemble hong bao, it would be perfect!"
"I have never had no many compliments on a card. This is an exceptionally beautiful card. I don't know how I'm going to top it next year! Printing and delivery was super quick which was great as I had procrastinated ordering. Thank you!!"

Michael Jordan sues Chinese apparel company
Feb 22, 2012, 10:30 PM EDT
It's been 14 years since Michael Jordan stepped on an NBA court (Washington? I choose not to remember that stop) and he is still the most valuable brand in basketball worldwide. By miles and miles and miles.
Which is why NBA legend and current Bobcats owner Jordan — along with — Nike has a team of lawyers that protect that brand. And they have turned their guns on a Chinese firm, Qiaodan, and sued the company that manufactures sports apparel and shoes.
You don't know that name but that is the nickname Jordan has gone by in China since he first came to popularity nearly three decades ago. This is a clear attempt to profit off his name.
In a statement released through his spokeswoman, Jordan says he's worked hard to establish his name and calls the issue "deeply disappointing to see a company build a business off my Chinese name without my permission, use the number 23 and even attempt to use the names of my children."
Jordan says he's "This complaint is not about money, it's about principle and protecting my name."
It's about money.
It is about protecting his name — which when put on Nike shoes and apparel is worth a whole lot of money. Particularly in the emerging massive market that is China. (Most all of which is made in China anyway.)
This follows from the "any time someone says it's not about the money, it's about the money" principle. That doesn't mean Jordan and his army of lawyers is wrong here. Enforcing it in China may not be so simple, however.

Let the Chinese lawsuits wars begin!
- glink123 - Feb 22, 2012 at 11:33 PM
Good luck. Piracy in China is nearly a third of their GDP. Their government fiercely supports it.
- franbotel - Feb 23, 2012 at 1:45 AM
Thats crazy i wouldn't be surprised if 90% of those products are from US companies.
- southbeachtalent - Feb 23, 2012 at 4:51 PM
glink, 100 percent spot on.
They make arrests at times when things get to heated (scape goats), but for the most part they are all in on piracy.

- spytdi - Feb 23, 2012 at 3:19 AM
"Nike pulls out of China!" Laughable, I know but would love to see them made in the US.
- spytdi - Feb 23, 2012 at 3:23 AM
This could create a "chink in the armor" of a large company like Nike although I believe it will be more of a black guy…I mean black eye on the Chinese market.
- rob0527 - Feb 23, 2012 at 5:18 AM
When they say it's not about the money, it's about the money.
- james2111 - Feb 23, 2012 at 7:45 AM
Jordan should be suing the bum responsible for putting that Bobcats roster together. oh.. wait a minute..Never mind.
- caeser12 - Feb 23, 2012 at 3:29 PM
Is this the same Michael Jordan that said he was going to go to China to make sure that they weren't using child laborers to make his shoes? No? Then who the hell is this guy, and why does he have a apparel company in China?
- connaniii - Feb 24, 2012 at 4:25 PM
I believe Mike shouldn´t be as worried about them them making a proffit off his name as much as he should be about the quality of the sneakers. I recently bought a pair of Air Jordans, Made in China and the outer soles practically peeled off the shoes after 3 weeks of non continuous play!

35 year old woman | Gloucester City, NJ, USA | Seeking men 29-40 within 30 miles
Fall is here, let get together for some coffee & get to know one another.
So here are a few things about me: I have a 5yr old daughter who is the best thing that has ever happen to me. I was in a 14 year relationship, so I know what commitment is and am looking for it again. I have 3 tattoos and am getting the itch for my next one. I love the beach and try to go as often as I can, I like to take my daughter down for pizza and rides for the night. I like nights out with friends whether it be dinner or drinks, a game or even just hang out on a deck. I like to drive to nowhere, just to get out and enjoy the sights, bon fires in the fall (or anytime). My family and friends are a very big part of my life, they are funny and crazy and I wouldn't have it any other way! Here are a few things about you:: you should be honest, loyal, loving. Should be able to give and take sarcasm. Be able to get along with different circles of people, enjoy nights out also nights in cuddling on the couch with popcorn and a good movie. Know how to communicate, this is a big one. Tattoo's and facial hair are a big bonus but not a deal breaker. So I have recently started to change my life around, started working out and eating healthy, I'm not a phanatic but am working on a better future for myself and my daughter and hopefully that someone special. There are so many other things about the both of us but what will we talk about when we meet? Things I'm not looking for: a one night stand, a quick hook up, liars, games, marriage after the first date. If you're interested in anything that you have read, send me a wink or a message.
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports
Baseball, Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Cycling, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I have Dogs
I have a boxer named Creasy and it is a bonus point if you know what movie I got her name from...;
Middle of the Road
Anywhere that good times can be had with good people.
My daughter, the beach, bon fires, friends, crafts, concerts, Dexter, Homeland, Scandal, Grey's Anatomy, coffee...
Craft fairs, day trips, hanging out w/friends, going to the beach or the mountains, planning get together's.

THURSDAY, May 3 (HealthDay News) -- Two months after it triggered the largest pet food recall in U.S. history, a key Canadian manufacturer has widened its recall once more on the threat of cross-contamination in some products.
The latest action comes amid reports from U.S. health officials that more than 4,000 dogs and cats may have died from eating contaminated pet food. On Thursday, however, health officials said the investigation was winding down and the contamination posed little health risks to humans.
U.S. regulators also reported that the Chinese company accused of exporting wheat gluten that included the toxic chemical melamine had intentionally labeled its shipments as nonfood to avoid inspections.
The newest recall, which covers products in the United States, Canada and Europe, involves any pet food processed at any Menu Food plant during the period in which contaminated wheat gluten was in that plant, according to the recall notice issued late Wednesday. The original recall by the company involved more than 60 million cans and pouches of moist dog and cat food. The new recall, the Streetsville, Ontario company said, includes cuts and gravy and select other products.
The company, which produces pet foods for more than 100 name brands, said the additional recall represents less than 5 per cent of the products that have already been recalled or withdrawn. It did not say what the cross-contamination involved. An updated list of all recalled products is available at the company's website at http://www.menufoods.com.
The news followed reports earlier this week that contaminated pet food leftovers had been fed to hogs and chickens, many of which have been processed for human consumption.
U.S. Food and Drug Administration and U.S. Department of Agriculture officials continue to downplay any potential human health risk.
At a Thursday afternoon press conference, Dr. David Acheson, the FDA's assistant commissioner for food protection, said, "At Menu Foods, some of the contaminated product was cross-contaminated with other product, that is the reason for the extended recall.
"We believe the likelihood of a human illness from melamine is unlikely," Acheson said. "Only 5 to 8 percent of the wheat gluten is melamine. It is only a small percentage of the ingredients in the pet food. When it gets down to the poultry and pork it is even a smaller percentage of melamine.
"We are preventing any further contaminated protein supplements coming in from China," he added. "I am confident that the investigation into contaminated pet food has been exhausted. We have chased the contaminated wheat gluten and we are confident that it has not entered human food except through the pet food fed to animals."
But the FDA, which has only ever confirmed the deaths of 16 pets from contaminated food since the recall began March 16, now says that pet owners have reported the deaths of about 1,950 cats and 2,200 dogs. It was not known how many of those were linked to the recalled pet food, the AP reported.
The New York Times reported that FDA officials also say the Xuzhou Anying Biologic Technology Development Company shipped more than 700 tons of wheat gluten labeled as nonfood products this year through a third-party Chinese textile company.
By listing the goods as nonfood items, the company's shipments were not subject to mandatory inspection by the Chinese government, the newspaper reported.

MO 13498-01 SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loans Available to Missouri Small Businesses
SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Small, nonfarm businesses in 14 Missouri counties are now eligible to apply for low-interest federal disaster loans from the U. S. Small Business Administration (SBA). "These loans offset economic losses because of reduced revenues caused by the drought that began December 25, 2012, in the following primary counties," announced Alfred E. Judd, Director of SBA's Disaster Field Operations Center-West.
Primary Missouri counties: Hickory and Lawrence;
Neighboring Missouri counties: Barry, Benton, Camden, Christian, Dade, Dallas, Greene, Jasper, Newton, Polk, Saint Clair and Stone.
"SBA eligibility covers both the economic impacts on businesses dependent on farmers and ranchers that have suffered agricultural production losses caused by the disaster and businesses directly impacted by the disaster," Judd said.
Small, nonfarm businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture and most private, nonprofit organizations of any size may qualify for Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDLs) of up to $2 million to help meet financial obligations and operating expenses which could have been met had the disaster not occurred.
"Eligibility for these loans is based on the financial impact of the disaster only and not on any actual property damage. These loans have an interest rate of 4% for businesses and 2.875% for private, nonprofit organizations, a maximum term of 30 years, and are available to small businesses and most private, nonprofits without the financial ability to offset the adverse impact without hardship," Judd said.
By law, SBA makes EIDLs available when the U. S. Secretary of Agriculture designates an agricultural disaster. Secretary Tom Vilsack declared this disaster on February 20, 2013.
Businesses primarily engaged in farming or ranching are not eligible for SBA disaster assistance. Agricultural enterprises should contact the Farm Services Agency (FSA) about the U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) assistance made available by the Secretary's declaration. However, in drought disasters nurseries are eligible for SBA disaster assistance.
Applicants may apply online using the Electronic Loan Application (ELA) via SBA's secure Web site at https://disasterloan.sba.gov/ela.
Disaster loan information and application forms are also available from SBA's Customer Service Center by calling SBA toll-free at (800) 659-2955, emailing email@example.com, or visiting SBA's Web site at www.sba.gov/services/disasterassistance. Individuals who are deaf or hard-of-hearing may call (800) 877 8339.
The deadline to apply for these loans is October 21, 2013.
SBA Field Operations Center - West, P.O. Box 419004, Sacramento, CA 95841

Atlus has confirmed that the fifth mainline Shin Megami Tensei RPG is coming to Nintendo DS. The last main entry in the popular series came almost five years ago in the form of SMT: Maniax
A strange dimension has opened in the South Pole, with the space being called the "Schwarz Birth" and it starting to expand and consume the world, leading to mass panic!.
Players take on the role of a Japanese member of specialist team (consisting of Gore, plus a US soldier called Himenes and a Russian scientist by the name of Zelenin) put together by the United Nations in order to tackle the unusual happening.
Characters wear some Sci-Fi outfits called Demonica Suits (DEMOuntable Next Integrated Capability Armour) that can be upgraded further into the adventure using applications and they all travel around in a strong vehicle that can also fly - the Red Sprite (players will meet up with The Blue Jet, The Alps and The Gigantic along the way).
The top half of the DS will show the 3D First Person viewpoint, whilst the lower touch-screen has a map and support information (with four options: Mission Log, Demonica, Analyse, Icon Help). There are to be more than 300 demons included in Strange Journey, which is a massive 120 more than in SMT: Nocturne on the PS2.
In addition, there is a negotiation technique in place, and a system that appears to be like Press Turn but is in fact slightly different and called 'Devil Co-op' where players that hit a weak point on an enemy during battles (with teams of up to four) can then join forces with demons to set off a devastating combination move. During missions, the team will be able to search around the world to find rare items to use with customising their kit.
SMT: Strange Journey
This new project has a very strong development team working on it. The Producer is Kazuma Kaneko (who is also working on the Original Concept, as well as the Character and Devil Design), the Director is Eiji Ishida (who worked as Chief Designer for SMT3/Raidou/Raidou2), the game's scenario is being penned by Shogo Isogai (of SMT2/SMTif/Devil Summoner/Soul Hackers/SMT3/Raidou/Trauma series fame), whilst the Shoji Meguro is working on composing the sound.

Freshman Kurtis Walls came in first at quarterback for the White team.
Carl Bjustad, 64, of Sheldon, was identified as the second victim in a fatal truck crash near Litchville Aug. 14.
The North Dakota Highway Patrol said in a release that Bjustad and Allan Tofsrud, 46, of Leeds, were both killed Aug. 14 when their semi trucks collided at the intersection of Highway 46 and Highway 1.
The NDHP said Tofsrud was traveling on Highway 46 and failed to stop at the stop sign at the intersection of Highway 1 and struck Bjustad, who was traveling on Highway 1. Both trucks came to rest in the northeast ditch of the interchange.
Two Valley City auto dealerships are moving, allowing both to continue to grow. Stoudt-Ross Ford plans to build a new facility on Winter Show Road, and Miller Motors will move into the existing Ford building.

A stray spark caused by discing on the Chuck Reidman farm 14 miles south of Valley City in Scandia Township caused a field fire about 2:26 p.m. Thursday, said Valley City Fire Chief Gary Retterath.
Retterath said Reidman was discing on his farm, when a spark ignited dead grass in a slough. "It wasn't very bad – we wet it down so it wouldn't get into another field," Retterath said.
The fire chief blamed the fire on especially dry conditions.
Read the AP Top 25 poll, which appears regularly on the www.times-online.com web site. The most recent poll was released Aug. 17. Every week college football fans anxiously await the release of the AP Top 25 poll.

The surgical mesh-free repair of incisional hernias has to face recurrence rates of up to 50%. Apart from technical faults this is probably due to collagen metabolic disorders, known to play an important role in the development of inguinal hernia. In particular an altered ratio of collagen types I and III with an increase in collagen type III has been claimed to reduce the mechanical strength of connective tissues. Therefore, we investigated the content of collagen types I and III in the skin of patients with incisional hernia (n = 7) and recurrent incisional hernia (n = 5) in comparison to controls with healthy skin (n = 7) and normal skin scar (n = 7) both by immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis. Both immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis revealed a decrease in the ratio of collagen I/III due to a concomitant increase in collagen III. The patients with incisional hernias and with recurrent incisional hernias showed a ratio of 1.0 ± 0.1 and 0.8 ± 0.1, respectively, whereas the controls exhibit a ratio of 2.1 ± 0.2 in healthy skin and of 1.2 ± 0.2 in normal skin scar, respectively. The decrease was highly significant (p < 0.01) between the patients with either primary or recurrent hernia and the controls or the normal scar, as well as between controls and normal scar, whereas there was not any significant difference between primary and recurrent hernia (p > 0.05). Our data for the first time confirmed that the presence of incisional hernia is accompanied by impaired collagen synthesis in the skin. The decreased tensile strength of collagen type III may play a key role in the development of incisional hernias. Furthermore, it might explain the high recurrence rates of hernia repair by simple closure, as a repetition of the primarily failing technique, and the improvement by the additional use of alloplastic material.

Crazy And Hypocritical Warmist Set To Become Secretary Of State
In case you haven't heard
(AP) President Barack Obama on Friday nominated Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, one of Washington's most respected voices on foreign policy, as his next secretary of state.
Obama even mentioned Kerry's service in Vietnam, but it was strange that he failed to mention Kerry coming home and slurring the men and women who served in the military during the Vietnam War. Nor did he mention Kerry's slurs towards the men and women who served in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Of course, Kerry is also a big time Warmist. Marc Morano writes
Democratic Senator John Kerry is set to become the next U.S. Secretary of State, replacing Sec. Hillary Rodham Clinton. Kerry has declared his intention to treat man-made global warming as a national security threat. See: Sen. John Kerry To Be Nominated As Next Secretary of State: Kerry 'believes climate change is the 'biggest long term threat' to national security' & A Secretary John Kerry Would Elevate Climate Issues: Reaction: 'about as far as 2010′s failed Kerry-Boxer climate bill, which failed to launch'
Climate Depot Statement on Sen. Kerry: "Senator Kerry is on record expressing outlandish climate and national security claims based on his basic misreading of climate science. Having a Secretary of State who views the emission of a trace essential gas in the atmosphere — CO2 — as some sort of monster threat to national security or the equivalent a the 9/11 terror attacks or the equivalent of old Soviet nuclear warheads, is a sad day in American history. Kerry is ignoring a large body of data and research that demolishes his beliefs. (see below) The American people deserve much better." #
Let's not forget that Kerry compared globull warming to 9/11. He compared it to Armageddon. As dangerous as a nuclear armed Iran. And plenty of other wackadoodle statements. Morano provides many smackdowns to Kerry in the article.
Let's also not forget that John "Waffles" Kerry is a massive climahypocrite. He lives in a massive McMansion, which uses lots and lots of energy and water, and puts out huge amounts of CO2. And has several homes. He takes lots of unnecessary fossil fueled flights. He owns many fossil fueled vehicles, including SUVs. His "carbon footprint" is much, much higher than that of the average American citizen. He's the same Warmists who told Senators to make "polluters" pay by instituting cap and tax, but refuses to modify his own lifestyle to become carbon neutral.
Oh, and Kerry was totally against the Cape Wind Project. He's cool with wind turbines elsewhere, but not in his own "backyard."

Assessor's phone ringing off hook
Property values jump; public hopping mad
David Ridley couldn't believe his eyes when he opened the envelope containing Form 11 - the newly assessed value of his land and house.
"The only way they could come up with these numbers is if I were to find gold, silver or an oil well on my land," the East Side homeowner said Thursday.
Ridley said the assessed value of the double-lot on which his house at 822 E. Powell Ave. sits soared from $4,200 to $15,400 - an eye-popping 267 percent increase.
The total assessed value of his land and house went from $76,100 to $109,100.
- For more information about the appeals process, acceptable forms of evidence and necessary documents, call the county assessor's office at 435-5267.
"I don't have a clue what's going on, other than that they're trying to make me pay for the devalued assessments of houses where people had the (flooding) problems further out on the East Side (in September)," Ridley said.
About 95 percent of the county's homeowners received Form 11s this week, according to Vanderburgh County assessor's office estimates.
County Assessor Jonathan Weaver acknowledged his office has been
deluged with complaints this week about the new assessments, and he says he sympathizes.
Weaver said, in fact, that he encourages property owners who feel their assessments are significantly off to appeal to his office by the April 13 deadline.
"Everybody's kind of freaking out about the (newly assessed value of their) land," Weaver said.
"Probably the land price is too high. It's important, though, to look at the line on the Form 11 that says 'total,' the total land value and structure value.
"The first thing that homeowners need to ask themselves is, 'Is this what my home would sell for if I put it on the market?' If my land is valued at $15,000 and my structure at $39,000, and my house were to burn down, could I sell my lot for $15,000? There could be some questions there."
Weaver said dismayed property owners also should realize that an increase in taxpayers' assessments "doesn't necessarily mean their taxes will go up."
Weaver said that in 2002 the General Assembly adopted a trending process dictating that property assessments be updated annually based on sales of other neighborhood and area property. He said assessors will be using 2004 and 2005 sales data to determine assessed values for 2006.
"That's what everybody just got in the mail," he said. "We're breaking it down into neighborhoods and applying what we learn from those sales to nonsales. Hopefully, the results are fair, equitable and accurate."
County Commissioners President Cheryl Musgrave, a Republican who served as county assessor from 1995 until 2005, said Weaver, a Democrat, is right. "There's nothing at all unusual in what he's saying," Musgrave said. "It's pretty much straight out of the state manual for assessors.
"This happens every time Form 11s go out. If you could not sell your property for the total of your assessed valuation, you should appeal."
Forms for filing appeals can be found at www.assessor.evans ville.net, in township assessors' offices and in the assessor's office in Room 227 of the Civic Center.
David Ridley, who said his home has been in his family for decades, was asked if he will appeal.
"You betcha," he shot back.

My Spineless Valentine
(205 votes, average: 3.60 out of 5)
Thanks for your vote!
Voting on this contest has closed. Thanks to all who voted!
by Linda Spear
Remember the times when Kahlil Jibran's, "The Prophet" was the most popular book among college students? One copy of The Prophet got past around our dormitory like a hot potato because most of us didn't have the money to buy it for ourselves. I don't even know the girl who actually owned it. But one Valentine Day, I decided to spend the precious amount of money on the book to give to my love—the only man I ever loved with such passion for the rest of my life, and make notes on the sides of the underlined passages that meant so much to me. It took me weeks to prepare the book to my liking, to present to my love. I tried to keep my work hidden from him as we studied together in the evening.
We had been living together for almost a year, and although I was supposed to reside in a dormitory, I was actually staying with him and paying half the rent with money I received from my "work/study program," that gave me living expenses, on campus, anywhere, for 20 hours of work a week.
If my parents happened to call, my so-called roommate told them I was in the shower or at the library, and she'd immediately call me at his apartment so I would return their call. It went on that way for almost two years, as we nurtured and cradled our passion for each other through work, study and concocted recipes for meals made with cheap ingredients. It was paradise.
I had to wrap the book and hide it from him until the day came. I used red tissue paper, garnered from a friend and taped it shut, and I deftly worked it so that the cover of the book didn't show through the thin wrap.
And then I waited until the special day came.
We both went to classes—he in medical school, me in college and when I returned to the apartment, I found the easily recognizable rectangular box for flowers, waiting for me. Careful to open the ribbon, in order to save it, I worked my way to the moment that I could lift the lid.
There I found beautiful deep red roses; twelve in all. And then I read the note: "I love you, nose and all."
It was as if lightening struck from above. The beauty of the roses and the joy in the moment disappeared. He always said he loved me but, oftentimes, he'd tell me my nose was too big. Just a joke, of course, but did he need to say it on paper, on Valentine's Day?
I cried the very first time he told me, months before and thought by then, he knew that words like that hurt, but there, lying on the flowers, were his sentiments that stung beyond belief.
Of course, one can understand why we only lasted two years, but my nose was not the reason we separated. It very well could have been if I didn't love him far too much to leave.
The breakup had far deeper roots and the pain of what I endured from his spineless behavior lasted a lifetime. Now that we have both been married for so very long to other people, the pain of what he said and did in that couple of years together, sometimes comes back to taunt me. In fact, I wrote a book about it. And it's selling well because so many people can relate to a relationship of this sort.
In the years since, after I married the man who loved me more than life itself, I have received roses from him that are accompanied by notes that always end with "I will love you forever." And he has. He never references my nose. I don't think he ever noticed.

The 7 Simplest Ways to Live Longer
Photo by Getty Images
by Dr. Oz & Dr. Roizen
Want to live longer? And as if you were younger? That's what we call "living beautifully." Now, what if we told you it was really, really, amazingly easy to do? It sounds like a con, but it's not.
At the very root of living longer is leading a healthy life that's fun. (No sour dour advice from us, here!) That means doing things that are good for you—eating lots of vegetables and getting physical activity every day—and avoiding things that, well, will kill you—things like smoking, eating too much sugar and saturated fat, and swimming in shark-infested waters.
In addition to these big-picture approaches to longevity, there are little things you can do on a daily basis that have been shown to add years to your life. How easy are these?
1. Run for five minutes a day. That's it. Just five minutes. In a large study of 55,137 adults, runners lived, on average, three years longer than non-runners. The benefits were the same no matter how long, far, frequently or fast participants reported running: Those who ran less than an hour per week have the same mortality benefits compared to runners who ran more than three hours per week.

2. Drink coffee. An April 2014 review in the British Journal of Nutrition looked at 20 studies covering nearly 974,000 people. The overall findings came out in favor of java: Drinking coffee—especially three or more cups a day—was associated with lower risk of death by any cause. And now we know that if you do not have headaches, abnormal heartbeats, anxiety, or gastric upset from a cup of coffee, you are "genetically a fast metabolizer." Fast metabolizers get all benefits from coffee, while slow metabolizers get all side effects.
3. Take responsibility. Research from the 1970s shows that it's never too late to take responsibility for your own health and well-being. A study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found that nursing home residents who took on responsibility—for instance, caring for a plant or choosing the flick for movie night—lived longer than those who relied on staff to make their decisions for them.

Ok – I'll try not to be too long winded. I've just relocated to the Phoenix area from San Diego in pursuit of a life/career change. I know it's going to be an adjustment, but I intend to make the most of it. So Who am I?! I've been dubbed as a "guy's girl," but I take it as a compliment. I LOVE my sports teams (Go Chargers, Trojans, Rockets, and Seminoles!!) But don't make me out to be a complete Tomboy just yet… I have a whole host of "girly" activities that I enjoy as well. I am truly very nurturing by nature, and I can attribute that to being raised by some of the most selfless women this world has ever known. When I'm with someone special, I like to be spontaneous, adventurous, romantic, sensual, and playful! I'm all about surprising you with little gestures and sweet nothings. I enjoy walking on the beach (which I've given up for the time being *sigh*), going out, watching movies, traveling, day trips to local attractions, romantic nights at home, and just having fun! Life is too short not too! I am a very focused and ambitious individual, especially now that I embark on a new chapter in my life. It's my hope to develop a solid friendship with someone, as I feel that a friendship should be the foundation of a relationship anyway. Then, we'll take things from there...

Syntrix Biosystems Wins Final Judgment of $115 Million in Patent Case against Illumina, Inc. Decision Follows Largest Patent Verdict in Washington State History Business Wire AUBURN, Wash. -- June 20, 2013 Syntrix Biosystems, Inc., is pleased to announce that a federal court in Tacoma, Washington, has granted the company a final judgment of $115 million in a patent infringement case it filed against Illumina, Inc., a San Diego-based biotechnology firm. The Court's judgment was filed on June 19, 2013, and follows a $96 million jury verdict in favor of Syntrix Biosystems. The jury's verdict is the largest patent verdict in Washington state history and is likely to be one of the largest in the nation this year. The jury rendered its verdict on March 15, 2013, after an 11-day trial focusing on U.S. Patent No. 6,951,682 ("the '682 patent"), which covers synthetic matrix and array technology invented by the founder and president of Syntrix Biosystems, John A. Zebala, MD, PhD. The jury found that Illumina infringed the '682 patent and ordered the defendant to pay $96 million in damages related to the "BeadChip" products it marketed from 2005 through May 2012. After the jury rendered its verdict, the Court ordered additional damages in connection with infringing sales made by Illumina from May 2012 through the date of the verdict. The Court also ordered payment of prejudgment interest from 2005, bringing the total judgment against Illumina to $115 million. Finally, the Court ordered Illumina to pay Syntrix Biosystems an ongoing royalty of eight percent for continued sales of infringing products, a full two percent higher than the royalty found by the jury. The term of the '682 patent extends to October 2019. "We deeply appreciate the time and attention the jurors and the Court gave to hearing this case," said Zebala. "Today's judgment by the Court confirms the jury's unanimous verdict. The protection of new discoveries is embodied directly in the fabric of the U.S. Constitution and is therefore inherently American. Our legal action was a hard-fought battle every step of the way, as we insisted that the rights of the individual inventor be fully protected. It should be clear to Illumina and others that the willful disregard of valid intellectual property is unacceptable in the United States. We are thankful for the great work by our legal team at Nix, Patterson & Roach LLP and Bracewell & Giuliani LLP, which helped us achieve this victory." Syntrix Biosystems was represented at trial by attorneys with the law firms of Bracewell & Giuliani LLP, Nix, Patterson & Roach LLP, and Foster Pepper PLLC.

At the beach I had seen people on long boards pushing themselves around with these big sticks. They looked pretty fun so I was interested in getting one. But after learning the price on these was $100 and up I decided to make one myself.
The end product works great and I think it looks pretty cool. So if you're looking to have some fun for a fraction of the price, let's get to it!
Step 1: What You Need
Supplies you need:
- 1¼" or 1½" wooden dowel – Home Depot has these
- Vurtego pogo stick bounce pad – Vurtego sells these here: http://www.vurtegopogo.com/product/bounce-pad/ – you could also use a tennis ball or something similar but this looked and worked the best for me
- Wood glue or 2 part epoxy
Tools you need:
- Saw
- Sanding block or power sander with sand paper
- Drill
- 1¼" or 1½" drill bit depending on the size of your wooden dowel
- Dremel
Supplies you might need:
- Plasti Dip – Home Depot carries this
- Wood stain
Step 2: Cut your wooden dowel
Cut your wooden dowel to about the height of the rider's forehead when standing on the skateboard.
Next you'll need to cut the handle using the remaining material. I cut my handle about 4 1/2 inches long but do whatever's comfortable for you. Then sand everything down until it has a nice feel and finish.
Step 3: Attach your handle
Find the center of your handle and, using the 1¼" or 1½" drill bit, drill into the handle about ¾" deep. You'll use this to sit the long piece of your paddle to your handle. Be sure to sand where you drilled to a nice finish.
Drill a hole through the top of your handle and into the land paddle. Use your glue to attach the two together and insert a screw through the hole you just drilled.
You should now have a handle attached to your land paddle!
I made one last night, only I used a lacrosse ball instead of the pogo pad.
I'll have to try the dresser drawer idea, that'd be sweet!
yea I did make the deck! Check it out: http://www.instructables.com/id/Vintage-Inspired-Skateboard/
You should try this with bamboo!
I can't put my finger on exactly what makes this awesome, but it's awesome.
This is great - the intro photos are beautiful!

On a cottage holiday spend time exploring the area around Hadrian's Wall. The most well-known and spectacular legacy of the Roman Empire in the British Isles, Hadrian's Wall once spanned the entire width of Britain, some seventy miles east to west along Northumberland's border with Scotland, from Wallsend (Newcastle Upon Tyne) to Bowness on Solway. It is one of the greatest triumphs of the Roman age; Rome's northernmost frontier, and remains a spectacular, awe-inspiring sight that draws throngs of visitors today. (more…)

The Sykes Cottages Guide To The Northumberland National Park & Kielder WaterFriday, September 9th, 2011
Northumberland National Park
Northumberland National Park is one of 15 national parks throughout the UK and without doubt encompasses one of the wildest and least discovered landscapes in the country. Stretching from Hadrian's Wall in the south to the magnificent Cheviot Hills hugging the Scottish border, the park is home to some of the most breathtaking displays of Northumberland's legendary natural beauty.
3 Northumberland Holiday Destinations You Can't Afford To Miss!Tuesday, July 19th, 2011
Whether you're already thinking about visiting Northumberland itself or just exploring your options, we'd like to show you three areas you should definitely consider paying a visit to…
1) Beadnell — Beaches, Wild Life and Water Sports
Beadnell is a small coastal community whose miles of open, empty golden stands and stunning sand dunes attract visitors from around the country. Despite the popularity of the bay for a whole host of water-based leisure pursuits, from sailing to windsurfing to kayaking, as elsewhere along the Northumberland coast, the visitor can often find himself alone on vast stretches of unspoilt, windswept sands.
The Sykes Cottages Guide To Lindisfarne, the Holy IslandMonday, July 11th, 2011
Any holiday cottage stay in Northumberland would be incomplete without a pilgrimage to the region's most spiritual and beautiful site, atmospheric Holy Island, or Lindisfarne, a tidal island which is completely cut off from the mainland by North Sea tides twice a day. The island is described as the 'fountainhead of England's Christian heritage' and holds a number of popular visitor attractions in Lindisfarne Castle, Lindisfarne Priory and Lindisfarne Heritage Centre. The island is also an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where wildlife proliferates and where nature can be enjoyed in the raw.
The Sykes Cottages Guide To Craster And Dunstanburgh CastleThursday, June 9th, 2011
The village of Craster is an ideal destination for a cottage holiday. A small fishing village with a pretty, nineteenth-century harbour on the Northumbrian coast and within the designated Northumbria Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Craster is today best known for both the internationally-renowned Craster kipper and as the starting point for the picturesque coastal path that winds along the basaltic cliffs to the dramatic ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle, one of Northumbria's most popular visitor attractions. Making the most of the local catch, brought in on 'cobles', or traditional fishing boats, the Robson family have been preparing kippers, cod and smoked salmon in the traditional, oak-smoked way and exporting them around the UK and Europe since 1856. The curing sheds or smokehouses are as much a part of the local village landscape as the more famous nearby landmark, Dunstanburgh Castle.

Prized High Relief Design
Popular Wire Rim Type
One unintended consequence of the complicated production process was that most coins had a high wire rim, or fin, around the edges of the coin, caused by metal extruding between the collar and the die during the repeated strikes from the press. This feature is seen on about 75% of the surviving population and it was considered detrimental at the time of issue because it made stacking the coins difficult. The dimensions and milling of the planchets were adjusted to eliminate the rim on later deliveries, but most early strikes, including the present coin, show the prominent rim. Over time, collectors have come to prize the Wire Rim type for its unique aesthetic appeal.
The present coin is a delightful Gem, with sharply detailed design elements and vibrant satiny mint luster. Swirling die polish lines are evident in the fields and the well-preserved reddish-gold surfaces show only minor signs of contact. Extraordinary eye appeal complements the high technical grade. NGC has graded 32 numerically finer examples (10/13).(Registry values: N7079) (NGC ID# 26F2, PCGS# 9135)

Like most Medion products, the $399 price tag for this tiny laptop is as competitive as it gets considering what you get, and it includes a licence for the full version of Microsoft Office Home & Student 2013. Its performance and the keyboard layout are the only issues that are of concern, though if you don't have plans on running heavy tasks on it, it will be fine, and you can get around the keyboard issue with third-party remapping software.

Medion: Medion AG is a German consumer electronics company. It operates in Europe, the United States, and the Asia-Pacific region. The main products are computers, TVs, refrigerators, toasters, and fitness equipment. The manufacturer of laptops Medion mainly is active in the German market, but to smaller extent also in Western Europe. Market shares and amount of reviews are low. Above all, supermarkets like Aldi sell their laptops.

10.1: The netbook/subnotebook has a quite small display format. Nonetheless, it is a common format for netbooks. The advantage is, that the subnotebook/netbook can be small dimensioned and can be carried easily. Further the small display has the advantage, that it needs few energy, which improves the battery runtime and in consequence the mobility. The disadvantage is that the reading of texts is a bit exhausting for the eyes. It is difficult to use high resolutions.
15.6: 15 inch display-variants are the standard and are used for more than the half of all notebooks. 15.4 inch display with 16:10 are the standard for notebook displays. However nowadays, more and more 16:9 displays with 15.6 inch appear. The reason why so many people like displays with medium size is, that this size is not exhausting for the eyes, does not need too much energy and the laptops can be kept quite compact.
17.3: Meanwhile the 17 inch display size is a more frequently offered standard format for desktop-replacements. The DTR-laptops can't be carried easily, need much energy but on the other side texts can be read easily and high resolutions are no problem. DTR mainly are intended for stationary usage on desks, where the weight and the energy need are unimportant.
» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
1.1 kg:
This subnotebook is one of the most lightweight of all notebooks and can be carried very easily. There exist hardly any models in this extreme class of weight. 7-9 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.
3 kg:
This weight is average for notebooks. Therefore the numerous mass of laptops with 15 inch display fits in this class of weight.
83.33%: This rating should be considered to be average. This is because the proportion of notebooks which have a higher rating is approximately equal to the proportion which have a lower rating.

The Lucky Country Shiraz 2012
Syrah/Shiraz from McLaren Vale, Australia
Winemaker's Notes
Dark crimson red. Very McLaren Vale! Baking spices of nutmeg and cinnamon with dark fruits, chocolate and grilled meats. A mouth-filling palate that is nice and juicy with red and black fruits that lead the way through to a finish that is hallmarked by mocha and vanilla bean characteristics. The fleshy tannins provide ample framework for plums and spice cake to flow around.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2012 Shiraz is scented of ripe blackberries, black raspberries and crushed black cherries with nuances of pepper, anise and sage. Full-bodied, it packs the mouth with youthful black berry flavors supported by soft, rounded tannins and just enough acid to give lift through the long finish. Drink it now to 2018+."
Wine Spectator - "Open-textured and restrained, with floral and dill overtones to the cherry and spice flavors, finishing deftly."
The Lucky Country Winery
The Lucky Country is synonymous with Australia, the phrase having first been coined in the book of the same name in 1964 by Donald Horne. The phrase was initially used as an irony mocking the fortune of the post-colonial Australians of the 1960s.
Since then it has become a descriptive label for Australia and its wealth of natural resources, beautiful weather, stunning landscapes and relaxed lifestyle. It is the same slice of fortune that allows the fertile soils of Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale to yield such lush, vibrant fruit from which The Lucky Country is made.
By contrast, Lucky Country Shiraz is made in a simple, natural fashion, with individual parcels of fruit fermented, pressed and barreled separately until blending just prior to bottling. Minimally fined and unfiltered, the wine starts out layered and concentrated, then reveals a much softer side on the finish. View all The Lucky Country Wines
About McLaren Vale
McLaren Vale is home to the oldest Australian vineyard, with grapes planted in 1838. It's a coastal area with the Indian Ocean bordering the west, which contributes a cooling factor that prevents the grapes from getting too hot. In all, the climate is a perfect one for the vines.
Notable FactsIn McLaren Vale, there are vines as far as the eye can see. As in other parts of Australia, Shiraz and Grenache are the most-planted grapes of the region. While red rules, whites are able to hold their own here too. With the warm yet reasonable Mediterranean climate, white grapes like Chardonnay, Semillon and even some Sauvignon Blanc grow well. The wines are round and smooth and the producers in the region are excellent.
About AustraliaLike the United States, which is about the same size, Australia's winemaking regions are huddled into one or two pockets of the country. The state of South Australia, which produces about 60% of the country's wine, also has the most wineries and sub-regions, including McLaren Vale, Clare Valley, Coonawarra and Barossa Valley. New South Wales is home to the Hunter Valley, while the smaller, southern state of Victoria is best known for theYarra Valley. Head way west to the very large state of Western Australia and you'll find the tiny region of Margaret River at the southern tip.
Customer ReviewsSign In to Add Your Review0 }div>
Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
