BITKOM and German Government Recommend PCMark 8 Benchmark for Vendor-Neutral PC Procurement
We are proud to announce that BITKOM and the German government are using PCMark 8 to recommend the minimum required performance of desktop PC systems purchased for public agencies.
BITKOM - Bundesverband Informationswirtschaft, Telekommunikation und neue Medien e. V. (The Federal Association of Information Technology, Telecommunications and New Media) is a German IT trade association that represents more than 2,200 international companies operating in the digital sector.
Working together with the purchasing authorities of the Federal Ministry of the Interior, the Federal Environment Ministry, the Federal Employment Agency, the German Armed Forces, and other public procurement agencies in Germany, BITKOM has published guidelines for the Vendor-Neutral Performance Description of Desktop PCs, (available in English and German).
The guidelines provide public authorities with a comprehensive tool for writing tenders for the supply of desktop PCs using specifications based on a broad consensus in the ICT industry in cooperation with public purchasers. The specifications use PCMark 8 benchmark scores to define the minimum performance requirement for desktops PCs to be used by office workers for administrative tasks.
Jukka Mäkinen, Managing Director of Futuremark, says,
"Defining vendor-neutral PC performance requirements is a major challenge for purchasers in public offices. I am delighted that BITKOM's committee of experts recognises that the best approach is to use relevant and widely accepted impartial benchmarks, such as PCMark 8, to set the minimum acceptable PC performance level in official tenders."
PCMark 8 is a complete benchmarking solution for business, enterprise, government, and other professional users. PCMark 8 provides procurement departments, supply chain managers, and IT departments with accurate and impartial benchmarks for specifying and comparing the performance of Windows PCs, notebooks, and tablets.
Since its release, PCMark 8 has been incorporated into the tendering, procurement and purchasing departments of the governments of France, Northern Ireland, and Brazil as well as the European Commision.

Futuremark Begins Development of VR Benchmark
June 10, 2015
There are already more than a dozen different head-mounted displays for VR at various stages of completion. Analysts forecast that VR will reach 10.8 million users by the end of 2016. But delivering a great VR experience relies on overcoming significant performance challenges.
Today we're announcing VRMark™, a VR benchmark that uses a combination of software and hardware to measure VR system performance, latency, and accuracy, the key components in creating convincing and comfortable VR experiences.
Designed primarily for manufacturers, analysts and press, VRMark tests a system's ability to deliver high quality virtual reality experiences for a range of content types from photos and video to games and simulations.
With development under way, we're inviting VR system manufacturers to join our Benchmark Development Program™. BDP members will have exclusive access to VRMark™ throughout its development, gaining a deep understanding of its workloads, right down to the source code. Using a development process that's been government-vetted for neutrality, members can provide input at every stage from specification to public release. Companies creating VR hardware and software, and others with an interest in VR system performance, are invited to apply for VRMark BDP membership today.
VRMark will test a VR system's ability to deliver a consistently high frame rate across a range of quality settings and content types. VR is highly sensitive to variations in frame rate. A smooth and stable frame rate is crucial to providing a comfortable VR experience.
In addition, VRMark will measure frame latency and the responsiveness and accuracy of the sensors present in the headset. Low latency is a key factor in achieving the feeling of presence in a VR world and avoiding motion sickness.
VRMark is our first major product announcement since we joined forces with UL. Combining the expertise of both companies, we will additionally offer professional lab-based VR testing with precision instruments and verification of performance claims to manufacturers and other customers.
Sajeev Jesudas, President of the Consumer Business Unit at UL says,
"UL believes that the blossoming VR industry will greatly benefit from a dedicated VR benchmark developed by a neutral 3rd party. VRMark is the first component of a comprehensive VR offering from UL that will also include the development of new standards and certification programs to protect the health, safety and well-being of VR users."
Futuremark's Benchmark Development Program is an initiative for building partnerships with leading hardware and technology manufacturers. The VRMark Benchmark Development Program will complement Futuremark's existing 3DMark and PCMark programs, which count AMD, Intel, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Samsung and other leading technology companies as members.
Companies interested in joining Futuremark's VRMark Benchmark Development Program should call Jani Joki on +358-20 759 8250 (UTC +3) or email email@example.com. Further information can be found on the Benchmark Development Program page.

3DMark v1.5.915 update released (Windows)
June 8, 2015
This is a minor update. Benchmark scores are unaffected. Note that while Windows 10 is in development there may be unforeseeable compatibility problems with some hardware configurations.
- SystemInfo module updated to 4.39 for improved detection of upcoming hardware from AMD and Intel.
- API Overhead feature test updated to work with Windows 10 Technical Preview build 10130.
Known issues

Compare DirectX 12, Mantle and DirectX 11 with 3DMark
March 26, 2015
We're excited to introduce our new 3DMark API Overhead feature test - the world's first independent test for measuring differences in DirectX 12, DirectX 11 and Mantle API performance. It's also the very first public application to use DirectX 12 full stop. This is cutting edge stuff!
Developed with input from AMD, Intel, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and the other members of our Benchmark Development Program, the 3DMark API Overhead feature test lets you compare the performance of DirectX 12, DirectX 11, and Mantle.
The purpose of the test is to compare the relative performance of different APIs on a single system, rather than the absolute performance of different systems. The API Overhead feature test is not a general-purpose GPU benchmark, and it should not be used to compare graphics cards from different vendors. (We are working on a DirectX 12 benchmark with game-like workloads, which we expect to release soon after the public launch of Windows 10.)
Why is API overhead important?
There has been much talk this year of new graphics APIs that let developers code 'close to the metal.' And though it's natural to think of the GPU, the benefits of APIs with lower overhead are actually achieved by making better use of multi-core CPUs to streamline code execution and eliminate software bottlenecks, particularly for draw calls.
A draw call happens when the CPU tells the GPU to draw an object on the screen. Games typically make thousands of draw calls per frame, but each one creates performance-limiting overhead for the CPU.
New APIs like DirectX 12 and Mantle reduce that overhead allowing more draw calls. With more draw calls, a game engine can draw more objects, textures and effects to the screen.
How does the 3DMark API Overhead feature test work?
System requirements
- The DirectX 12 test requires a PC running an up-to-date version of Windows 10 Technical Preview (build 10041 or later), 4 GB of system memory, and DirectX feature level 11_0 compatible hardware with at least at least 1 GB of graphics memory.
- The Mantle test requires 4 GB of system memory and AMD hardware that supports the Mantle API.
- The DirectX 11 test requires DirectX feature level 11_0 compatible hardware with at least 1 GB of graphics memory and 4 GB of system memory.
Available now
The API Overhead feature test is available now in the latest version of 3DMark Advanced Edition and 3DMark Professional Edition. The Steam version of 3DMark updates automatically. The standalone will prompt you to download and install an update. The test cannot be run from the free 3DMark Basic Edition or Steam demo.
Microsoft turns to 3DMark to show DirectX 12 performance
January 22, 2015
Did you watch Microsoft's Windows 10 briefing on January 21? In front of the world's press and streamed live to viewers around the globe, Microsoft used our new API Overhead feature test to show the benefits of DirectX 12. This new test, coming soon to 3DMark, is the world's first independent test for comparing the performance of DirectX 12, Mantle, and DirectX 11.
Watch the full webcast here. The DirectX 12 segment starts at 1:16:40.
Games make thousands of draw calls per frame, but each one creates performance-limiting overhead for the CPU. APIs with less overhead can handle more draw calls and produce richer visuals.
Microsoft's demo shows DirectX 11 and DirectX 12 running side by side on the same hardware. As the number of draw calls increases, DirectX 12 is able to handle greater complexity and detail while achieving higher frame rates than DirectX 11.
We're thrilled that Microsoft chose our new API Overhead feature test to show the benefits of DirectX 12. And soon you will be able to test your own PC and see the difference yourself. Find out more and check for updates here.

From Our Editors
An airbrush-tan appointment at Perfect Touch begins with a ritual color selection, when you will be able to choose your desired shade of gold, bronze, or zirconium. Next, clients are escorted into the spray chamber, a tent that tanners can enter nude or clothed in the bikini or bloomers of their choice. An airbrush-wielding technician then evenly glazes the dermis with a cool mist of dye, and in less than 10 minutes the ghostly emerge embronzened. Perfect Touch's dye is quick drying (so there is no need to pat dry, wear dark clothing, or wrap oneself in a rain-shielding armor of cellophane post misting) and contains a high ratio of brown to red tones to prevent orangeing and preserve an authentically human glow.

Hi Guys from here in the sunny south west of England. Forgive my ramblings as I'm new to the forum. I've been building models since I was a kid in the `60s. Trucks are my primary subject but I like building other subjects too.
I've purchsed many great kits and accessories from Guys in the States &, hand on heart have always had good service. In return I thought I'd recomend to you a company here in the U.K. that also prides its self on its service, its called Kit Form Service (KFS). They do amazing resin transkits of American C.O.E.`s as well as European & Aussie trucks. plus loads of great truck accessories too.
Here's the link:-

WASHINGTON -- The three airplane crashes today into the New York World Trade Center and the Pentagon apparently were the work of a well-planned and executed terrorist conspiracy, with members who appeared to be trained in skirting airport security, senior FBI officials said.
Most likely, they said, the plot involved several terrorists on each airplane in the event the hijacked pilots refused to kill civilians on the ground.
President Bush said that he believed it was a coordinated series of attacks, and said he had put the military and counter-terrorism networks on the highest possible alert for more assaults.
"Make no mistake: The United States will hunt down and punish those responsible for these cowardly acts," Bush said, adding that he was in touch with world leaders in an attempt to find out who was responsible.
Behind the scenes attention focused on Osama bin Laden, the exiled Saudi militant who in recent years has declared war on America. American authorities have been tracking Bin Laden for years, trying to bring him to justice for the twin bombings of U.S. embassies in East Africa in 1998 that killed 224 people.
Counter-terrorism officials were careful to say that they are looking at all options and possibilities. Officials in the White House Situation Room were reviewing intelligence cables from around the globe and FBI reports from within the United States, and looking at other Islamic extremist groups, "home-grown" hate groups and other potential terrorists.
Intelligence sources briefed members of Congress within hours of the first attack on the World Trade Center's southern tower and confirmed that the U.S. government considers the terrorist attacks as the work of some organized group.
Sen. Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah) said that during the briefing, intelligence officials said the attacks bear the "signature" of Bin Laden, who oversees a vast network of Islamic extremists throughout the world.
"Who else would have the capability to coordinate the simultaneous hijacking of several aircraft?" said one FBI official who asked that his name not be used. A former FBI agent, John L. Martin, also said the coordinated attacks bore the fingerprints of Bin Laden because they "were extremely well organized and extremely secret."
Authorities believe that the terrorists had help from airport ground crews, that they chose cross-country flights because the planes would be heavily loaded with fuel and that their handlers are probably amazed that their plans so easily slipped past the U.S. intelligence apparatus.
"We're just amazed at the level of coordination this would have taken," said a senior official. "And the more extensive the conspiracy, the more opportunity U.S. agencies should have had in picking up some trace that this thing was going to occur.
"That's what's incredible," he added. "You're only as good as the intelligence you have, and in this case, intelligence failed us."
Another senior official, also speaking on condition of anonymity, predicted that the investigation will become the largest federal criminal case here or abroad. "First of all, you've got every place that these jets were hijacked from," he said. "You've got crime scenes.
"Undoubtedly, we will check for cars in the parking lots that may have been left. What happened at the gateways? How did they get through? What are on the passenger lists, the luggage lists?
"We will be screening, and if there [are] cameras available, we will look to see if there was more that one hijacker. There probably were four or five on each flight, maybe, and what are their connections with other passengers?
"Were the tickets purchased sequentially? What about cabdrivers? Who gave people rides to the airport? It's just an incredible myriad of leads to follow up on."
What most intrigues investigators so far is how the planes were made to crash into the World Trade Center towers, the Pentagon and outside Pittsburgh.
"It's so unusual that a pilot would bank and deliberately do this," said one investigator. "What resonates in my mind is this: Were the pilots incapacitated? And if they were, then the hijackers had to have somebody about to fly the planes themselves."
He also noted that the conspirators knew they they had to act fast, that once U.S. authorities realized that the country was under attack from the air, they would shut down all air traffic--just as the Federal Aviation Administration did.

NCAA Football Betting Previews- Oklahoma Sooners vs Kansas State Wildcats
- Updated: October 27, 2011
NCAA Football Betting Previews- No. 9 Oklahoma Sooners vs. No. 8 Kansas State Wildcats
VietBET Point spread: Oklahoma -13.5
Over/Under: 58.5
The Oklahoma Sooners will look to keep their faint national title hopes alive with a victory over the upstart Kansas State Wildcats this Saturday afternoon in this Big 12 showdown at Bill Snyder Stadium. The game is set to get underway at 3:30 p.m. (ET) and it will be broadcast nationally on ESPN.
Oklahoma's stunning 41-38 loss to Texas Tech as a 29-point home favorite this past Saturday sent shock waves through the BCS rankings as it dropped from third all the way past Kansas State to ninth. The loss also dropped the Sooners to 6-1 straight-up on the year and 4-3 against the spread. They are 3-0 SU (2-1 ATS) in three games on the road and the total has gone 'over' in four of their seven games overall.
Quarterback Landry Jones and wide receiver Ryan Broyles lead a Sooner offense that is ranked fourth in the nation in passing with an average of 379 yards a game and seventh in scoring with an average of 44.3 points a game. It was their defense that did them in against the Red Raiders; giving-up a whopping 572 yards of total offense.
Kansas State's rise to eighth in the current BCS rankings was aided by a 59-21 romp over in-state rival Kansas this past Saturday as a 10.5-point road favorite. The Wildcats are a perfect 7-0 SU (6-1 ATS) overall and 4-0 SU (3-1 ATS) at home this season. The total has gone 'over' in four of their seven games as well.
This team has racked-up an average of 33.6 points a game this season primarily on the ground with an average of 213.9 yards a game rushing. Collin Klein and John Hubert have combined for 1,307 yards on 173 carries and Klein leads the Wildcats in scoring with 14 rushing touchdowns.
Oklahoma is 5-1 ATS in its last six games following an ATS loss and 19-7 ATS in its last 26 games following a SU loss. The total has gone 'over' in five of its last seven conference games.
Kansas State is 4-0 ATS in its last four games as an underdog and the total has gone 'over' in nine of its last 13 games as an underdog at home.
Head-to-head in this series, The Sooners are 7-1 SU in the last eight meetings, but the Wildcats are 4-2 ATS in the last six. The total has gone 'over' in the last three meetings. There is little doubt that Oklahoma will come into this game fired-up to take last week's loss out on somebody, but Kansas State will be no pushover and is more than capable of keeping things close enough to cover at home with the 13.5-point spread.
The Pick: Oklahoma 33 Kansas State 27

Meg Handler
Some time ago, I happened to see this photograph on Facebook. I was immediately drawn to the image and wanted to know more about the photographer, Meg Handler.
What I wasn't expecting when I e-mailed Meg, was what a generous and multi-talented photographer and editor she was. And I love that it was from looking at one image I made a new friend. We recently spent the day together in Chicago and she helped me outfit my Rolleiflex with a flash, setting me on a new path to making photographs. I am sharing Meg's project, Fans, today, created between 1994-2001.
Meg is a photo editor and documentary photographer. The former photo editor of The Village Voice, Meg has also worked at U.S. News & World Report, Blender, New York Magazine, COLORS and Polaris Images. She has edited a number of books, including the monograph, Phil Stern: A Life's Work, PAPARAZZI by Peter Howe, and POT CULTURE by Shirley Halperin and Steve Bloom. After 20 years of immersion in the photography business, and having worked with some of the great photographers in New York and abroad, Meg now lives in Chicago. She worked as the principle photographer for The Grant Park Music Festival at Millennium Park, and BIGArt at Navy Pier. Currently, assisting in the production of of BagNews Salons, Meg received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography from Rochester Institute of Technology.
I have looked at a lot of photographs over the years, working as a photo editor for the Village Voice and numerous other publications, but decided to create a series of my own work when I was inspired by a "Jesus Sighting"in Washington Heights, New York. A few hundred people stood in line, gathered in the courtyard of an apartment building to see an image of Christ in a bathroom window. They saw it, I did not. Even though I didn't witness the second coming of Christ, I was intrigued by the intensity of their experience and their desire to be in the company of something that moved them deeply. If people are so enthralled by a vision, what happens when they see their icons in real life?

Thanks for your article. So true that a bad manager can have such a significant difference on employee engagement.
To look at the positive side of employee engagement, I posted an article yesterday summarizing research that found companies with happier and more engaged employees show greater profits and higher stock prices. There's ROI for employee engagement programs and companies that encourage happiness at work. Here's the link if you're readers are interested: http://youearnedit.com/blog/12832-leaders-proven-roi-for-employee-engagement/
Tim Ryan
Employee engagement has been a hot topic for a few years (at least). This article shares some great stats from the Gallup survey, and summarizes it with a simple sentence that leadership should always consider when implementing an employee engagement program.
Hi Victor, It was no surprise to read the results regarding the impact a first line manager has on the employee, but I wonder why employees who work remotely are more engaged. I will be interested in what is learned as they study this.
It would be nice if there were a follow up on this topic.
As someone who used to work remotely, let me suggest one reason why remote workers may be more engaged. If 90% of anything is just showing up, those who literally aren't showing up have to make up for the 90% those who do get credit for. So you work harder to justify that day at home, whether out of honesty or self-interest. Even if you're doing laundry and running errands between tasks, you end up working longer hours to make up for the time. Plus you can be engaged at our own pace, instead of being shoved into a cube for 8 hours and told to be engaged.
Please define the meaning of "employees who work remotely." I.E., those who work at a satellite location or from home instead of coming in to the main office? Or those who commute from another town?

Cox and fellow analyst Joseph Vranich wrote a 2008 study that examined the economics of California's proposed high-speed system, which, when finished, would link Sacramento with San Diego and with cities in between. In 2008, the estimated cost was $33 billion. Now, as of a few days ago, said CARRD (Californians Advocating Responsible Rail Design), that figure has climbed, by their estimate, to at $65 billion.
At a time when state and federal finances are precarious, ask critics, how can such expenditures be justified -- especially when the U.S. has an already-paid-for transportation infrastructure that gets most travelers anywhere they want, domestically, in a single day?
Part of what makes high-speed rail costly to build, said Leslie McCarthy of the College of Engineering at Villanova University, is the need to secure new right of ways: The twists, turns and tacks of old rail beds may not support the demands of trains far faster than the ones for which they originally were designed.
Florida's proposed high-speed corridor already has a right of way, giving it a huge leg up.
Eugene "Gene" Skoropowski, director of rail and transit services for HNTB Corporation, which has management of the project, said Florida is in the best position of any state to implement a European-style system.
"Thirty percent of the engineering has been done," he said. "The cost estimates have been done. We believe we have all the necessary capital."
Construction on the first segment, linking Tampa and Orlando with trains traveling at close to 200 mph, could start as early as the first quarter of next year.
Skoropowski has little use for high-speed rail's critics.
The Erie Canal, the interstate highway system, and the nation's air travel infrastructure -- they were expensive, too, he said.
Conservatives, he added, are always calling for consumers to have more options and more choice. Services like Florida's, he said, will provide "a new travel choice to a big chunk of our population."
For system-builders less fortunate than Florida's, new technology may obviate the need to buy new right of ways.
Richard Guest, COO of Fastransit in New York City, said his company has demonstrated a variation of maglev (magnetic levitation) that allows a train to travel at high speeds on existing rail beds.

Team Needs: Dallas Cowboys
5.0 - High priority. This is a position that is a glaring weakness and there is the likelihood that this team cannot compete next year without making a major addition here.
4.0 - Medium Priority. This is an area that is an obvious weakness, but the team isn't quite desperate to make a major move here possibly because they have some young potential. But this is an area that if the team cannot fix via free agency, will definitely use one of their picks in the first three or four rounds to supplement.
3.0 - Upgrade Potential. This is a position that isn't a weakness per se, but there is significant room for an upgrade. If the right player comes along they will certainly snag him, but if they don't fix this position with a major free agent addition or early round pick, then it's not the end of the world.
2.0 - Depth Need. An area where there is a need to add depth. Perhaps there is an aging veteran and they might want to start to look at grooming his heir apparent or replacement. Not likely to be a high priority and a position that more than likely will be address in the middle and late rounds rather than with a top pick.
1.0 - Future Need. This is an area that is not a priority, and doesn't initially appear as a need. But there is some room to develop some depth for perhaps two or more years down the line. This is usually an area that a team will look at in the late rounds if at all.
0.0 - Non-need. This is a position that is a strength of their team, they have a solid starter, capable depth, and/or a young player at the position that they like and want to develop. Very little possibility this area is addressed and would be the equivalent of a wasted draft pick.
Top 10 Needs
Quarterback - Despite the criticism leveled at Tony Romo, he had a solid year. But the lack of postseason success from this team will cause an increasing amount of fingers to be pointed at him regardless of if it's his fault. Jon Kitna is expected to retire, and Stephen McGee was unimpressive in his brief stint in the lineup. The Cowboys could be looking at a veteran or potentially a new developmental option to push McGee. NEED: 2.0
Running Back - DeMarco Murray was solid until he got hurt. Felix Jones is a solid No. 2 option, but given the high degree of injuries that have occurred at this position, adding another backup won't be a bad move. NEED: 1.5
Fullback - Tony Fiammetta performed well here, but they have good depth with Shaun Chapas also on the roster. NEED: 0.0
Wide Receiver - Laurent Robinson was a very good No. 3 receiver and is a free agent. They want him back and the feeling is mutual from his end. If that deal gets done, their need here is minimal with Kevin Ogletree, Dwayne Harris, and Jesse Holley begin solid developmental depth options. NEED: 1.0
Tight End - Martellus Bennett is a potential free agent, and doesn't seem likely to return. John Phillips has flashed potential so it's unlikely they would make a major move here. But they could draft some late round depth. NEED: 1.0
Offensive Tackle - They might flip-flop Tyron Smith and Doug Free, but either way they are pretty solid here. But they might add a backup for the sake of depth. NEED: 1.5
Offensive Guard - Derrick Dockery and Montrae Holland are free agents, and along with Kyle Kosier make up a serviceable trio of starters. But they would really like to continue upgrading this position with a young version of Leonard Davis. NEED: 3.0
Center - Phil Costa struggled at this position, and it's likely this will be a priority to upgrade this off-season. NEED: 3.5
Defensive Tackle - They're tinkering with moving Jay Ratliff to end, which would make Josh Brent the top nose tackle on the roster. While Brent has been a solid role player, it remains to be seen if he's ready to be more of a full-time player. They also like Sean Lissemore, but whether Ratliff makes a permanent move will likely require them to find a more reliable upgrade here. NEED: 2.5
Defensive End - If Ratliff moves here, it will upgrade this position, but as of now they are solid with Jason Hatcher, Marcus Spears, and Kenyon Coleman as their trio. Depth is pretty good with Lissemore also in the mix here. NEED: 1.0
Linebacker - Bradie James is a free agent that is not expected to return. They look keen on moving forward with Sean Lee and Bruce Carter as the pair of guys in the middle. Keith Brooking could return, but only as a reserve. On the outside, Anthony Spencer is a free agent, but unless they tag him it's not likely he'll be back. If so, that would open up a hole here for a more dynamic pass rusher, something they're already desiring. NEED: 3.0
Cornerback - Terence Newman looks like he's on the verge of getting cut, but Orlando Scandrick is not a viable option to be anything more than a nickel corner. So that would open the door for them to make a major move to try and solidify this spot. NEED: 4.0
Safety - Sensabaugh was given an extension in December, and Abram Elam was a serviceable starter, but is a free agent. He could be back since there probably won't be a strong market for his services, but there's definitely room for them to groom his successor at free safety. NEED: 2.5
Kicker - Dan Bailey was rock-solid as an injury replacement for David Buehler. Buehler could return for the final year of his contract to provide competition, but this position is not a need. NEED: 0.0
Punter - Mat McBriar had a foot injury late in the year, but they have Chris Jones to give them insurance in case he's slow to come back in 2012. NEED: 0.0
Return Specialist - They thought Dwayne Harris would solidify this spot and while he has flashed potential, he's far from a sure bet. So they might bring in a corner that could provide some more competition here. NEED: 1.5

I already own Animate 2 and the upgrade, but they state they are for studio 3, which is why I asked this question. So do I have to buy these products again or will they be updated from studio 3 to studio 4? Or do I just plug in my S.N. in studio 4?
Just plug in your serial number. Remember though that the aniblocks are designed for Gen4 figures, not Genesis.

Minimum Hairloss Product
By hunter
from Kansas City, MO.
describe yourself Minimalist
Contains harmful chemicals;stains pillows and headrests ;fills in gaps as advertised ;should be removed after each use but instructions fail to specify ;acceptable smell ;Price for 5 oz. should be $8.00 as a bargain not [$].
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Shampoo and condition hair. After hair and scalp are dry, shake can vigorously and apply My Secret Hair Enhancer to hair-loss and thinning areas. For best results, hold the can nozzle about 12 inches from hair and spray in short bursts until desired color and coverage is achieved. After styling hair, spray with My Secret Finishing Touch to hold your style until your next shampoo.

I always seem to miss the tree lighting ceremony every year :blush:. Somehow the thrill of fitting as many rides into one day gets the best of me. I'm trying to make it a point to take a somewhat more relaxed approach to my Christmas-time DL visit this Saturday. This includes checking out Big Thunder Ranch, watching the confectioners make candy canes, and witnessing the light show over at IASW.
But, back to my main question: What time is the Tree Lighting Ceremony held at? Is it at the same time everyday?
...I know the entertainment schedule can differ from slower-paced days (weekdays) versus more crowded days (weekends/holiday). Please help. Thanks in advance for any insights!

Make a bandanna trick or treat bag with these Halloween sewing projects from Fawnda Norman. This bag is made from a bandanna and some stenciling, and your child can use it when collecting candy on Halloween night!
- A bandanna
- Coordinating thread
- Sewing machine
- Scissors
- Optional: Freezer paper, paint
- Fold your bandanna in half with right sides together.
- Measure and cut 12 inches in length. (Save the extra piece for the straps)
- On the bottom corners (on the fold) cut out 2 X 2 inch squares.
- Now grab your extra piece and cut two 4 inch strips from it for the straps. (Mine are still folded in half)
- On each strap, fold over 1/4 inch on each edge lengthwise and iron the fold.
- Now fold you strap in half (lengthwise) and iron the fold. Now you should have no unfinished edges showing. (The ends should be finished from the bandanna.)
Here is what my 2 straps look like.
- Now back to the bag. Sew along both sides with a 1/4 seam. (Do now sew the square cut-outs)
- Now we are going to square off the bottom. Pull open the square so that the seam that you just sewed is at a right angel to the edge. (like shown below:)
- Now sew along that unfinished edge. Repeat for the other corner.
- Flip right side out and look at your bag taking shape!
- Now lets work on the straps again. Sew the open edge with a 1/8 seam (or as close as you can get to the edge.) Repeat for the other strap.
- Decide where you want your straps places. I have mine 2 inches from the seam on each side. Pin your straps in place.
- Sew your straps in place. Since I am expecting my son to get a TON of candy I sewed back and forth a few times.
- I freezer paper stenciled the letters on. I cut out my letters for "trick or treat" and ironed the freezer paper to the top of the bag. I also place a piece of cardboard inside the bag so that the paint does not run through.
- Dab on your paint and let dry.
- Pull off the paper and admire the cuteness. I am also going to add my son's name the other side of the bag, so that no one will steal my son's candy!

I've seen people do this often, but it's best not to personalize children's things. Children have been snatched because a pedophile saw their name on a personal item the child was carrying and called the child by name, leading the child to believe that this person somehow knew them.
