- Lipidic nanocapsule drug delivery : neuronal protection for cochlear implant optimization (2012)
- Objective: Sensorineural hearing loss leads to the progressive degeneration of spiral ganglion cells (SGC). Next to postoperative fibrous tissue growth, which should be suppressed to assure a close nerve–electrode interaction, the density of healthy SGC is one factor that influences the efficiency of cochlear implants (CI), the choice of treatment for affected patients. Rolipram, a phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor, has proven neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects and might also reduce SGC degeneration and fibrosis, but it has to pass the cellular membrane to be biologically active. Methods: Lipidic nanocapsules (LNC) can be used as biodegradable drug carriers to increase the efficacy of conventional application methods. We examined the biological effects of rolipram and LNC's core encapsulated rolipram on SGC and dendritic cell (DC) tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) production in vitro and on SGC survival in systemically-deafened guinea pigs in vivo. Results: Our results prove that rolipram does not have a beneficial effect on cultured SGC. Incorporation of rolipram in LNC increased the survival of SGC significantly. In the DC study, rolipram significantly inhibited TNF-α in a dose-dependent manner. The rolipram-loaded LNC provided a significant cytokine inhibition as well. In vivo data do not confirm the in vitro results. Conclusion: By transporting rolipram into the SGC cytoplasm, LNC enabled the neuroprotective effect of rolipram in vitro, but not in vivo. This might be due to dilution of test substances by perilymph or an inadequate release of rolipram based on differing in vivo and in vitro conditions. Nevertheless, based on in vitro results, proving a significantly increased neuronal survival when using LNC-rolipram compared to pure rolipram and pure LNC application, we believe that the combination of rolipram and LNC can potentially reduce neuronal degeneration and fibrosis after CI implantation. We conclude that rolipram is a promising drug that can be used in inner ear therapy and that LNC have potential as an inner ear drug-delivery system. Further experiments with modified conditions might reveal in vivo biological effects.
- Sphingosine 1-phosphate modulates antigen capture by murine langerhans cells via the S1P2 receptor subtype (2012)
- Dendritic cells (DCs) play a pivotal role in the development of cutaneous contact hypersensitivity (CHS) and atopic dermatitis as they capture and process antigen and present it to T lymphocytes in the lymphoid organs. Recently, it has been indicated that a topical application of the sphingolipid sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) prevents the inflammatory response in CHS, but the molecular mechanism is not fully elucidated. Here we indicate that treatment of mice with S1P is connected with an impaired antigen uptake by Langerhans cells (LCs), the initial step of CHS. Most of the known actions of S1P are mediated by a family of five specific G protein-coupled receptors. Our results indicate that S1P inhibits macropinocytosis of the murine LC line XS52 via S1P2 receptor stimulation followed by a reduced phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) activity. As down-regulation of S1P2 not only diminished S1P-mediated action but also enhanced the basal activity of LCs on antigen capture, an autocrine action of S1P has been assumed. Actually, S1P is continuously produced by LCs and secreted via the ATP binding cassette transporter ABCC1 to the extracellular environment. Consequently, inhibition of ABCC1, which decreased extracellular S1P levels, markedly increased the antigen uptake by LCs. Moreover, stimulation of sphingosine kinase activity, the crucial enzyme for S1P formation, is connected not only with enhanced S1P levels but also with diminished antigen capture. These results indicate that S1P is essential in LC homeostasis and influences skin immunity. This is of importance as previous reports suggested an alteration of S1P levels in atopic skin lesions.

Google Chrome 4.1 for Windows doesn't add too many new features, but it's a very interesting release.
Google Chrome is the only browser that automatically translates web pages written in foreign languages. It's a great feature, previously available in Google Toolbar and in a Chrome extension, that's now included in a browser. Besides using the best free machine translation service available today and translating pages inline, Google Chrome uses a language detection algorithm that doesn't require a connection to Google's servers. The language detection library is open source and any developer can use it.
"For most languages, the library determines the language of a page by breaking down its text in quadgrams, or sequences of up to four characters. The library then looks up each quadgram in a large hashtable that contains language probabilities, which is included in the Chrome binaries. This hashtable was originally built by processing language probabilities over billions of web pages library are indexed by Google's search engine. In just a few milliseconds, the library can accurately determine the language of most web pages."
Chrome's blog mentions that Google Update no longer generates an unique ID for each Chrome installation. "We've implemented a new approach to our Google Update technology, which allows us to remove the unique ID from Google Update while still preserving our ability to determine the number of active users and keep everyone up-to-date with the latest security updates and speed improvements." There's also a page that explains the privacy controls that are available in Google Chrome.
Chrome is more cluttered (translation infobars and content filtering icons should be more discreet), better suited for advanced users and it's updated faster: 4.1 is an intermediary version released two months after Chrome 4.0.

Relay for Life team to host wine, paint fundraiserWritten by Holly Tuey | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Many people are affected by cancer, in some way, at some point in their lives. One group of those affected decided to come together to help put an end to the suffering cancer can cause.
The Answer for Cancer is made up for several people in the Toledo area who have had family members or friends diagnosed with cancer. They wanted to do something about it, so last year they formed a Relay for Life team to raise money for the American Cancer Society.
"We chose the American Cancer Society over another organization because of the longevity of the society, the fact that they contribute over $120 million a year to cancer research and have played an important role in promoting early detection," explained Allyson Tscherne, co-captain of the team. "We chose them also because we can see on a local level how the money we raise for them helps local people fighting against cancer, specifically education, lodging, transportation and online support communities."
Although several members of the group have been involved in Relay for Life for years, they didn't form The Answer for Cancer until last year.
"Many of us had become more affected as time went on," Tscherne said. "From fighting with our loved ones to celebrating with them and to losing them. We wanted to do something to help find an end to the pain a family feels when they hear the words, 'You have cancer.'"
Tscherne, like the other members, knows that feeling. She has already lost grandparents to cancer, and her grandfather Bob Toth is currently fighting multiple myeloma. Toth is also on the team.
The team raised $4,500 last year, and this year they've already met their goal of $8,000. But they're not done.
They are hosting an event they call Paint it Forward from 5-9:30 p.m. Feb. 1 at Forrester's on the River. For $55, guests will enjoy hors d'oeuvres and wine while painting. Instructors from Uncork the Artist are volunteering their time to walk guests through the process of creating a painting.
"Instructors will be available to guide painters step by step through the process, so you don't have to be an artist or know anything about painting to do it," Tscherne said.
At the end there will be a wine pull. Guests will take a bottle of wine home in a bag – the kind of wine will be a surprise until they get home. There will also be a silent auction and raffle during the event. Local businesses and artists donated gift cards and other items, including a glass piece from the Toledo Museum of Art, to be auctioned or raffled off.
All proceeds from Paint it Forward will go to The Answer for Cancer's Relay funds.
In the spring, The Answer for Cancer will host a taco dinner in Oregon, and on Aug. 2 they plan to host a golf outing.
For more information about the team, upcoming events or to donate, call (419) 261-2559 or visit www.theanswerforcancer.com.

A tradition that began with the Wright brothers continues today with you. The art of building an aircraft is the stuff of dreams. Until, that is, you build it and take to the sky.
The world of homebuilt aircraft — officially known in the United States as Experimental Amateur-Built Aircraft — has existed as long as powered flight. Even the Wright brothers were homebuilders, since they didn't rely on a factory to construct their airplanes. They, like the homebuilders of today, used their own abilities and craftsmanship to construct safe and efficient flying machines.
Today, tens of thousands of homebuilt aircraft fly throughout the world. A significant number of homebuilt aircraft have flown around the globe and one, the Voyager in 1986, was the first airplane ever to fly around the world non-stop on a single tank of fuel.
EAA was founded in 1953 by a group of airplane enthusiasts mostly comprised of airplane builders, although anyone with an aviation interest has always been welcome in the organization. EAA has been the organization of record as the homebuilt movement moved from simple, single-place tube-and-fabric airplanes 60 years ago to today's wide spectrum of aircraft that feature plans- and kit-built models. No matter the airplane project, one thing remains constant – homebuilt aircraft provide a path where nearly anyone can pursue their personal dream of flight.

On Wednesday, the IRS posted an updated Large Business & Industry (LB&I) Directive for field examinations on the repair vs. capitalization issue that extends the suspension of examinations (LB&I-04-0313-001). The effective date of the tangible property temporary regulations (T.D. 9564) (in amendments published Dec. 17, 2012) has been extended to tax years beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2014. The IRS has provided its personnel with modified examination instructions for tax years beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2012, and before Jan. 1, 2014, and restated its earlier examination instructions for tax years beginning before Jan. 1, 2012, and on or after Jan. 1, 2014.
In February, the IRS, recognizing that many taxpayers are expending resources to comply with the temporary regulations and responding to comments from taxpayers, announced in Notice 2012-73 [http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/n-12-73.pdf] that when the final regulations are published, certain rules will be revised to simplify them. The notice permitted taxpayers the option of applying the regulations currently or delaying the effective date until Jan. 1, 2014.
For examinations of tax years beginning before Jan. 1, 2012, examiners are instructed to discontinue current exam activity and not begin any new activity with regard to the issue of:
The IRS explains that, for tax years beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2012, and before Jan. 1, 2014, if a taxpayer has changed its method of accounting under the repair regulations, with or without filing a Form 3115, Application for Change in Accounting Method, the examiner must perform a risk assessment regarding the method change. If the taxpayer has not changed its accounting method, the "option period" (the period before the applicability dates of the forthcoming final regulations, during which a taxpayer may choose to apply the temporary regulations) is still open and the examiner is instructed not to examine the issue.
In addition, for tax years beginning before Jan. 1, 2012, the IRS reiterated its earlier instructions, telling examiners to:
For tax years beginning after Dec. 31, 2013, examiners must follow the regulations in effect and follow normal procedures.

I have never played Galaxy On Fire but the video of the game here in this article reminds me a lot of the game called Galactic Civilizations from Stardock. I quite enjoyed playing that game. I'll have to remember to try this one when it comes out.
Hands-on with Galaxy on Fire: Alliances
Be sure to check out the fifteen-minute Extended Edition Director's Cut below!
Fishlabs was quietly showing off an alpha build of their upcoming free-to-play galactic empire game, Galaxy on Fire: Alliance at GDC 2013, and we got some time to play around with it.
If you've ever played Mob Wars or anything like that, you'll be familiar with the idea of building up a persistent force of troops and taking the fight to other players in the game. Galactic commanders have to form alliances, harvest planetary resources, build ships, and improve their character's skills to cut out their territory in the stars.
Usually, these base-building games that rely on long cooldown periods are very starkly text-based, and at best have well-created icons, but Galaxy on Fire: Alliance turns that notion on its head by implementing some exceptionally great graphics. The version of Galaxy on Fire: Alliances that we were shown was still in the very early stages, but the concept screenshots that we were shown of what's coming looked extremely promising. Even on the mechanics front, Galaxy on Fire: Alliances looks like it will be doing some unique things with coordinating attacks among other alliance members. It sounds like in-app purchases will be employed exclusively to speed up tasks, so nobody should have to worry about being steamrolled by a ridiculously massive star destroyer just because some dude was willing to pay five bucks for it.
Though I'm hesitant to apply the real-time strategy or the MMO label on this game as liberally as Fishlabs has here, Galaxy on Fire: Alliances will very clearly be raising the bar for these types of games, whatever you want to call them. Keep an eye out on this one in the third quarter of the year.

Hands-on with Galaxy on Fire: Alliances
I'm not sure if this is a game I would play, but it looks interesting.
this game looks nice, kind of like a simple version of eve
That definitely came to mind. I thought a bit of Spore too, as far as the planetary installation building goes.
I love the look of the the Alliances app. I am a 2nd generation Pilot Trader for this Galaxy on Fire genre type game (Elite C64, GOF, GOF2 with 2 add ons). Alliances looks interesting but I am going to be very disappointed if Fish labs does not put me in charge of an upgradable ship with awesome weapons because although I would love to put fleets into battle, I am not a General that does not ride up front into battle.

New classes will be offered in the Lansing community that will teach locals how to grow organic food and about the benefits of eating a healthier diet.
Ann Rose, the project manager for Greater Lansing Area Development (GLAD), proposed this idea to help the community focus on eating locally-grown, healthy food. This initiative will also make it possible for low-income families to buy organic food.
"GLAD is currently promoting classes for the formation of a local collective of farmers who want to get into business for themselves," said Rose.
According to Rose, Lansing is considered a "food-fragile" community, meaning the area doesn't have the resources growers need to thrive in the community.
One proposed remedy for the food-fragile community is a food distribution center that would contain cold storage for locally-grown produce. This storage unit would allow farmers the opportunity to extend the shelf life of their produce.
"Many farmers can't make it without cold storage," said Rose.
According to Rose, she would like to have a cold storage unit of about 1,000 square feet in Lansing by April.
Both the classes and the storage unit will work with Ashe County's Cooperative Extension service.
Rose said she is excited about the project as it moves forward.
"I think it would be a key factor in growing the Lansing area," said Rose. She also said she would like to see the project work with the community kitchen that operates in Family Central.
This new initiative from GLAD will include three classes for local growers.
Growers interested in the available classes will be welcome to visit the Agriprenure Expo held at Lansing tech from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Jan. 19, to see if the class content and schedule fits their needs.
"The N.C. (agriculture) curriculum course content will be focused on developing your farm ideas, marketing, business operations, and financials through experiential learning. Students will walk away with knowledge, skills and a plan of action to start their own agricultural business," said information released by Rose.
The first class offered will be an "AGriprenure" class instructed Lisa Redman. This class has a fee of $50 and is limited to 15 students. The class will meet from 5:30-8:30 p.m. on Thursdays, Feb. 7, through March 28. Any questions should be emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com.
The second class will teach commercial growers how to earn an organic certification for from the USDA certification system. This class will be instructed by extension agent Richard Boylan and students will be charged a $50 class fee, which pays for books and handouts.
The organic certification class will meet from 5:30-8:30 p.m. every Wednesday from Jan. 30 - March 6. For more information, email Boylan at firstname.lastname@example.com

The second series of Halo Avatars are invading stores this month! Based on the stylized representations of the Halo characters that are available on the Xbox 360 console, these little guys from the Halo universe are ready to help save the day!
From Halo-themed t-shirts, to Spartan helmets, to full suits of character armor, gamers can make their avatars look like true Halo fans, or even characters from the Halo universe. To represent the customization options available to online avatars, McFarlane Toys' avatar figures feature interchangeable heads, torsos, and legs. Collectors can mix and match pieces to create their own custom avatar figure, much like they can with their online avatar.

In addition to characters and apparel, Halo Avatars series 2 also includes a "prop" items, the ultra-rare Avatar Banshee. Don't think it will be that easy to find your favorite avatar, because each figure comes disassembled and randomly packaged in a small "blind" foil bag.
The hunt for Halo Avatars Series 2 figures this February at Gamestop, Target, Toys R Us, Wal-Mart – Canada, Blockbuster - Mexico, Toys R Us - Canada, Fred Meyer, Kroger, HEB, F.Y.E, local comic book stores, and other retailers nationwide.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by masseraj Coolest slip ever! First of all I have to give kudos to the shipping department at Free People. I ordered this yesterday and I received my packed this evening! Usually takes about 5 to 6 business days. My last package was super fast too... about 2 days. Now about this slip. I ordered the one in black and I'm so glad I did. This looks incredible on. I'm large chested and it fit nicely in that area and it even comes with straps which I don't think I will need at all. It does come with a mesh lining which is still a bit to thin. I would recommend ordering the mini slip to go under it if you want to wear it as a dress. I also tried it on over my Free People tan leggings and my snow boots for a more casual fun look I can see wearing into the city with my girl friends. Again, I love how versatile this slip is and all the cool things you can wear with it. It fits TTS. I am also planning to wear it to see the Radio City Rockettes and I will wear it with my Jeffrey Campbell lace up boots and the Crystal Tiers Collar which I'm waiting to receive. Since this is a lace slip, just be careful pulling it on and off. Don't tug on the lace part and you should be good to go for a long time. 11.28.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Grandmom I love it! Wear it as a skirt with bike shorts underneath. One of the crop tops look good with it. Thank you, Free People for great clothing! 5.10.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by p1gp3n too tight, too sheer i bought this to wear under other see-through slips. i sized up, and it still fits tight around the chest as a dress. as with some of the other intimate pieces, the "lined with mesh" part is kinda silly because it's still see-through and i'd have to wear yet something else under this layering piece. the top part is also too long so it doesn't work with my other sheer pieces, as the seam from this is very visible. 3.6.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by rumnroses <3 <3 <3 In love with this little piece! I purchased it to wear as a maxi slip and I sized up 1 size and the ruched band fits around the waist perfectly. The slip itself is white and the ruffle on the hem is a yellowed material, not quite "yellow". Looks vintage and works well layered under skirts. Highly recommended! 1.18.2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by FPRich Not worth it! I was planning to order this dress, but then I found it at one of the FP stores. I tried the L, but the elastic top was too tight and did not stretch much. The rest of the body fits well and the lace looks nice. The slip though is completely sheer. I tried the tea color, don't know how it works for other colors. I am not too crazy about the bottom hem coloring as well. In all not worth the price for me. Might work for others, but not for me. 3.7.2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by sylekmotylek sheer again... I cannot understand FP`s fascination with sheer, artificial fabrics.I personally would much prefer if they used natural ones, cotton perhaps?And the need to wear slips with most of their, otherwise pretty skirts and dresses, is annoying. This skirt is very pretty but the fabric makes it look like it was remade from old curtains. Artificial, creates static and once again it needs a slip. I really do not want to wear slips all the time, especially in warm weather. 12.20.2012
Rated 2 out of 5Â by Dirty_Hair_Halo white slip has a gross yellow ruffle hem I ordered the slip in white, and they ruffle hem is this gross unbrushed-teeth yellow color. the coloring in the picture does not depict this. returning. the fit, however, was very flattering. 1.3.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Highcountrygypsy Great slip. 167cms, 35 inch/88cm bust, 32c bra, 55kg/123 pounds. Read the reviews and sized up to a medium. Fits around the bust if I wish to wear it shorter however it is to big around the waist if I want to wear it as a long skirt. Keeping it nonetheless as it really is a beautiful slip, sorry I didn't see it earlier in the other colours. Purchased in the black. Sheer, so will need another slip to wear underneath. Great vintage feel to it. Highly recommend. 1.29.2014

Well, my husband and I have been plotting and daydreaming about this website for a couple of years, and the 'push' to action finally came when I lost my job through redundancy at the end of 2009. It's amazing what a mid life crisis and a loss of income can do to clear the head!
The inspiration for our site came when my mother passed away. I was approaching 40 and I felt as though I still didn't really know much about my mum. The irony of youth of course is that you appreciate pretty much nothing until you're no longer youthful….. My mum had a sister, who has now also died, and with them has gone the memories and stories of all the generations before them. Yes, we have some old treasured photographs – some of them are fastidiously dated and named even, but the richness of the descriptions is lacking, as is the human narrative. There are no successes and tragedies, no mundane tales of schools, wars, friends, homes, or how it was to live there and then.
So, at 42 I find myself sitting and contemplating what a disaster it would be to lose another generation's stories too. Whilst my life seems inordinately uninteresting to me, I am now aware that the very fact that I was once a spotty teenager with grey print-ruled exercise books filled with Latin conjugations, is of such intense amusement to my children that it is in itself precious and something to be retained.
It is perverse that we, and every generation preceding and succeeding us, think of ourselves as entirely 'current'. Indeed, at that moment, we are! But we are soon to become ancient history. My father, aged 75, writes tales of his childhood in Birmingham in the 1930s. The house had no hot water and they used to find their entertainment in watching the Baker's horse 'Bob' pee great streams of horsey urine down the hill of their street. To a 10 year old contemporary kid (whom I dragged away from the PS3 to read about his grandfather's childhood), this was so far from the reality in which he exists, it may as well have been a PS3 game in its own right. How quickly we become out of date!

We are Videoboys, makers of gay porn, directly from Montreal. Our movies feature sexy young guys like Pierre Fitch in high quality movies.
Facial cumshots, facial cumshots, facial cumshots. Everyone is clamoring for facial cumshots. So today we said, "Fine! Give the people what they want." At Videoboys we have so many models that just love a high protein face wash that they insist on finishing the scene that way. Johan Lapointe, Jessy Karson, Tommy Carlyle, Damien Munro and Aaron are probably the five models that just can't get enough cum on them. You will certainly be able to tell by the hunger in their eyes when it happens. These are the guys who insist on facials every time. But sometimes it's just as fun to watch the guys take it in the face when they are less than enthusiastic about it. Watch Fabien in the Threesome scene or in his scene with Alec. What is that emotion on his face? And then of course their is Str8 boy Luda who did his best to avoid it. But his Str8 friend Jonathan actually really surprised us with what he did.Please enjoy our summer time Festival of Facials.

Ross Perot in 1992. Nader in 2000. And now in the 21st Century: JESUS FOR PRESIDENT!!!
Over 1.4 million Americans have signed a pledge to vote for Jesus on November 6th as a write-in candidate because, according to evangelist Bill Keller, founder of the Internet ministry liveprayer.com:
President Obama has proven by his words and deeds to be a true enemy of God as detailed in James 4:4. He has been the most pro-death President in history, supporting the legalized slaughter of innocent babies here and around the world, he is a staunch advocate of the radical homosexual agenda, and he has been a great friend to the enemies of Israel. On every major spiritual issue of the day, President Obama has proven to be an enemy of God and a true tool of Satan!
Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney is a 5th generation member and a priest in the satanically inspired Mormon cult. He and others in his cult LIE when they claim to be Christians, since Mormon doctrine is 100% inconsistent with Biblical Christianity and a Mormon is no more a Christian than a Muslim is. He deceives people by saying he believes in "God" and "Jesus" is his savior, when the "god" of Romney's cult is NOT the God of the Bible, and their "jesus" is NOT the Jesus of the Bible. Romney and those in his cult believe the Bible to be a flawed and incomplete book and look at Biblical Christians as inferior and non-believers for rejecting the beliefs of their cult.
Considering Perot got just over 19 million votes (18.9% of the popular vote, but none of the electoral votes), and Nader's 100,000 votes in Florida supposedly cost Al Gore the Presidential election, The Son of God's appearance in the ballot box could be a game changer for one of the parties, especially in swing states. Keller writes:
I am encouraging true followers of Jesus Christ to say NO to Satan and say YES to Jesus! This November, write in the name JESUS for President! The option will be several third party candidates. Sadly, no candidate outside of the two major parties have any chance at winning the election. So rather than vote for a third party candidate, write in the name of Jesus for President.
Your vote for JESUS is not helping President Obama get re-elected, nor is it helping Mitt Romney get elected, it is telling Satan you will not be responsible for either of his tools becoming our next President!
However those votes for Jesus won't get Christ elected to the Oval Office, first of all because he is currently disincarnate, and in many states, write-in candidates don't count unless the candidate has filed an affidavit, which is hard to do if you don't have a meat suit. Other states will not count write-in votes. And then there's that pesky issue about needing a birth certificate for proof of citizenship.
Meanwhile, Jesus' campaign manager the Rev Keller wants us all to remember that:
If President Obama is re-elected, his anti-American, socialist policies will continue, as will his attacks on Christianity and Christian churches. He will continue to support abortion, homosexuality, the enemies of Israel…
If Mitt Romney is elected, he will be the fulfillment of his cult's polygamist, pedophile, racist, con artist, murdering founder Joseph Smith's "White Horse" prophecy that Romney and all Mormon's believe. That prophecy says that the United States will facing great economic and social unrest, a Mormon will be elected President, declare a national emergency and set aside the US Constitution and enact a Mormon theocracy. That may sound impossible, but ever since he was at BYU, Romney was called by his inner circle "the chosen one" to fulfill their cult's prophecy.
Rev. Keller's logic for a pro-Jesus vote is simple:
Sadly, most Christians are so appalled at President Obama's opposition to God on every major spiritual issue of the day, they are willing to put politics above souls. The justification is that Romney is the lesser of two evils. My friend, the lesser of two evils is still EVIL!
But for those who believe that this is America, where we demand and deserve the best–

Autumn on the Ashley, a two-day open-air craft fair, will be staged Oct. 12-13 at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens.
Sponsored by Magnolia and the Tri-County Master Gardeners Association, this year "we are adding food vendors and more demonstrations," said Magnolia's operations manager Mary Ann Johnson.
More than 35 vendors are expected for the sixth annual open-air festival that attracts artisans that craft jewelry, pottery, glass bead work, wood work and folk art. The craft fair, which is free to the public, opens at 9 a.m. and closes at 5 p.m. Demonstrators on both days will include the Lowcountry Woodcarvers, the Philip Simmons Artists Blacksmith Guild and the Charleston Artists Guild.
A $100 vendor fee will be charged for a booth space to display handcrafted items, paintings and photography. No retail items will be allowed. Vendors are responsible for their own pop-up tent, tables and chairs. Electricity will not be available.
The Master Gardeners will answer gardening questions and receive soil samples. The cost for soil samples are $6 each. Call 843-722-5940 to get tips on how to collect a sample. Plants and gardening books will be on sale.
"We are excited because this festival continues to grow," Johnson said. "Now that we are going into our sixth year, we are ready to expand to include vendors who sell foods fit for a festival setting and plants."
For information and to reserve a booth, call Johnson at 843-571-1266, extension 241.

Stocks soar on Black Friday; tech leads the wayBy DANIEL WAGNER
ThE ASSOCIATED PRESS | November 24,2012The stock market enjoyed some black Friday cheer, rising sharply as shoppers braved the annual post-Thanksgiving rush. Major stock indexes closed one of their best weeks of the year.
Traders were encouraged by positive economic news from Germany and China, two engines of global growth. Technology stocks soared after a few weeks of selling. And early reports from retailers suggested strong consumer spending.
Foot traffic appears heavier than weve seen in recent years, there are a lot of positive statements out of the companies themselves, and momentum appears to be strong, said JJ Kinahan, chief derivatives strategist at the brokerage TD Ameritrade.
Many stores opened earlier than ever this year, Kinahan said, allowing for earlier informal reports about their performance.
Technology stocks soared, lifting the Nasdaq composite index by more than 1 percent. Dell, chipmaker AMD and Hewlett-Packard were the top three gainers in the Standard & Poors 500. Technology rose the most among the indexs 10 industry groups.
The stocks were bouncing back after confidence in tech stocks declined broadly, Kinahan said. AMD dropped sharply in recent weeks as investors fretted about its solvency. HP plunged 12 percent on Tuesday after executives said that a company HP bought for $10 billion last year lied about its finances.
The Nasdaq ended up 40.30 points, or 1.4 percent, at 2,966.85. The Dow Jones industrial average gained 172.79, or 1.4 percent, to 13,009.69 the first time since election day that the Dow closed above 13,000.
The S&P 500 added 18.12, or 1.3 percent, to 1409.15. The rally gave the S&P 500 its biggest weekly point gain since last December 49 points, or 3.6 percent. The Dow gained 3.4 percent and the Nasdaq almost 4 percent for the week.
The market closed early, at 1 p.m. EST.
Stocks started strong after news that German business confidence rose unexpectedly in November after six straight declines. The gain in a closely watched index published by Munichs Ifo institute raised hopes that Europes largest economy can continue to weather the continents financial crisis.
Chinas manufacturing expanded for the first time in 13 months in November, the latest sign that the worlds second-biggest economy is recovering from its deepest slump since the 2008 global crisis. HSBC Corp. said its monthly Purchasing Managers Index improved to 50.4 for November. Any number above 50 indicates expansion.
The PMI measures overall manufacturing activity by surveying indicators including orders, employment and production. The result was released Thursday, when the U.S. market was closed for Thanksgiving.
Around the U.S., shoppers flocked to malls and logged on to computers to take part in the annual cheer-fueled retail rush known as Black Friday.
Target and Toys R Us welcomed buyers on Thanksgiving evening. Retailers are also trying to draw shoppers with free layaway and shipping, by matching prices of online rivals and by beefing up mobile shopping apps.
Retail is a key driver of the nations economy. Consumer spending accounts for about 70 percent of U.S. economic activity. November and December, which can account for as much as 40 percent of a retailers annual revenue, are crucial for stores.
The Friday after Thanksgiving is known as Black Friday because it begins the period in which many retailers turn profitable for the year. Traders will be looking for signs about how enthusiastically Americans are spending. That could reflect the momentum of the economic recovery.
Wal-Mart rose $1.31, or 1.9 percent, to $70.20. Macys gained 72 cents, or 1.8 percent, to $41.73.
Trading volume on Wall Street was light, with many investors away for an extended weekend after Thanksgiving. The rallys strength will be tested on Monday, as many traders return to their desks and retailers begin to release hard data about their holiday sales results, Kinahan said.
Its great when something like this happens, but on a half-day without the major players in there, its not so surprising, he said.
European indexes added to earlier gains after Wall Street opened and closed higher. The FTSE 100 index of leading British shares rose 0.5 percent. Germanys DAX and Frances CAC-40 both added 0.9 percent.
Investors were monitoring developments in Brussels, where European Union leaders are trying to agree on a $1.25 trillion long-term spending plan for the 27-nation bloc. Markets expect that another meeting will be needed for an agreement.MORE IN Wire NewsJEFFERSON CITY, Mo. Full StoryCAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.

Hindu music featured at templeWritten by David Yonke Editor, ToledoFAVS.com | | email@example.com
Something old — ancient would be more like it — is new again in the form of Hindu chants set to music, a style known as kirtan that is gaining popularity in Toledo and throughout the United States.
On Jan. 11, musician Mike Cohen of Grand Rapids, Mich., brought kirtan to town with a six-person band that performed an energetic, interactive concert at the Great Heartland Buddhist Temple of Toledo.
About 50 people attended the musical event that featured Cohen leading on vocals and playing harmonium — a small, wind-driven keyboard instrument with a hand-pumped bellows.
Although the setting was a Buddhist temple, with audience members sitting or kneeling on mats and zafu cushions, the words were in the Hindu liturgical language of Sanskrit and the lyrics were based on Hindu teachings, including references to such gods as Ganesha and Shiva.
The temple was dimly lit, with rows of flickering candles flanking a small Buddha statue, strings of white Christmas lights on the floor, and a few multicolored lighted stars decorating the stage area. The smell of incense wafted through the room.
The Sanskrit words of each song were projected on a screen, and Cohen explained the meaning before performing each tune. He strongly encouraged the audience to participate — something he said was essential for a kirtan concert.
"You can dance, clap, harmonize — whatever authentically comes through you, that's great," Cohen said.
There was no hesitation from audience members, most of whom indicated by a show of hands that they had been to many kirtan concerts before as they jumped right in with enthusiastic clapping and chanting.
In a call-and-response format, Cohen sang the lyrics and the backup vocalists, Abby Hoot and Sevika Radecki, led the audience in responding.
"Kirtan is best when you feel like you're being chanted," Cohen said. "Listen to other voices, not your own. Let them pull the energy through your heart."
The chants were short simple, and only a handful of lines were repeated dozens and dozens of times with varying dynamics and rhythms as Cohen shifted things around, the band flowing gracefully along with the jazz-like improvisational changes.
The opening song, "Om Namoh Bhagavate Vasudevaya," which Cohen said he wrote in 2006 after reflecting on a friend's loss of a newborn child, had only five lines but was performed in ever-changing, cascading arrangements for about an hour.
American and Hindu cultures flowed together smoothly, and surprisingly, on "Om Sai/Stand By Me," a soft ballad Radecki wrote that blends Sanskrit chanting with Ben E. King's familiar pop anthem, "Stand By Me."
Another surprising moment took place on the song "Jay Jay Ma" when Kelly, who played bass most of the evening, switched to an 11-string fretless acoustic guitar on which he was able to draw out sitar-like tones in addition to the normal range of guitar sounds.
Cohen has been playing and teaching kirtan music since 2000, and in an interview with Toledo Faith & Values said the musical style has been around in some form or another for more than 2,500 years. In recent years, American musicians have been adding funky beats, jazz flexibility, blues and even rap backdrops to the liturgical chants.
A number of veteran kirtan devotees in the audience said there is a new wave of musicians and bands playing kirtan in the area, including shows at Toledo-area venues such as Harmony in Life in Sylvania and SunMoon Healing Arts Studio in Toledo.
In addition, multiday kirtan festivals are popping up, including the three-day Bhakti Fest Midwest scheduled for June 20-22 at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison, Wis.

But Nicollin did not reveal the identities of the clubs who have shown an interest.
A post on the club's official Twitter account read: "Louis Nicollin: 'we have 2 concrete offers for Y. Belhanda with whom we are in agreement, it is up to the player to choose'." (sic).
Nicollin revealed earlier this month that AC Milan, Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid, and Galatasaray had all lodged bids - whilst the likes of Newcastle, Tottenham and Arsenal have also been linked.
The Morocco international finished as the deposed Ligue 1 champions' joint leading goalscorer last season with 10 goals from midfield, a tally matched by striker Souleymane Camara.
The 23-year-old also collected seven yellow and two red cards as a disappointing title defence saw Montpellier end up in ninth place, 31 points behind champions Paris Saint-Germain.
Coach Rene Girard left at the end of the season and replaced Roma-bound Rudi Garcia at Lille, with former Nancy coach Jean Fernandez taking the reigns at Montpellier.

Glidecam HD4000 Stabilizer System
- Product Details
The Glidecam HD4000 is a camera stabilizing system for small-to-large sized camcorders and DSLRs up to 10lbs. This stabilizer is designed to provide smooth, fluid shots during movement. This kit takes some time to set up and calibrate before use, but once you have it properly balanced it's able to produce extremely fluid shots. It takes time to calibrate it and practice is needed in order to achieve smooth movement, but this is a very affordable way to get smooth video when walking/moving with a video camera.
The HD4000 is a bit more robust than the HD1000 or HD2000 and supports camera/lens combos weighing up to 10lbs. It is suggested that you get a Body Pod Stabilizer or a Forearm Brace to help distribute the weight and allow you to shoot longer clips without fatigue.
This system is upgraded from the HD1000 and HD2000 and offers fine adjustments and an improved gimbal and balance system.
