Take a look at all of the items in our under $20 women's costumes section, and you are bound to find something you like. You can purchase a full costume that is under twenty dollars, or you can buy a few different items to assemble the perfect outfit for your event. Either way, your costume-shopping experience will be quick and painless this year – for you and your wallet.

Plus, you won't experience that dreaded feeling of buyer's remorse afterward because you didn't really spend that much on it in the first place.
The best thing about buying items for under twenty dollars is that it allows you to be creative – to unleash your imagination as if it were a caged beast. This beast can now purchase several items for the price of a typical Halloween costume, and combine these items to assemble an awesome outfit for itself. This creativity brings an element of originality to your outfit, enabling you to customize it and make it stand out from other people's costumes. It also enables you to put different spins on traditional characters, perhaps combining items that don't usually go together.

Adam Troup's Light Trail Portrait
Adam Troup of Inspire Video shared some details about a composite shoot he did with a musician friend on an overpass in Edinburgh.
He knew he wanted to capture cars traveling down below as long light trails so he first did a 30-second exposure of the background. He then brought in Chris, a guitarist, as the subject. Due to strong winds, he had to ditch the idea of using a softbox, and instead positioned one off-camera flash to the right of the camera and another behind the subject as a rim light.
He used PocketWizard radios as triggers and had this to say about the system:
"I absolutely love the PocketWizard ETTL system, as mentioned above I have two FlexTT5 units, a MiniTT1 and the AC3 ZoneController. The AC3 is fantastic, as you can quickly and independently dial in flash compensation if you're using ETTL or use the dials to alter the power of the speedlights if you're using manual mode. You can mix ETTL and manual groups, quickly turn off and on each flash groups. It's just a fantastic system and I love it!"
Thanks Adam!

Last year more than 62,000 people officially died in traffic accidents but a recent World Heath Organization report suggested the rate was more than double that.

2013 Louisville Slugger Z2000 ASA Slowpitch Softball Bat End Load SB13ZAE
Item#: SB13ZAE | Manufacturer: Louisville Slugger
2013 Louisville Slugger Z2000 ASA Slowpitch Softball Bat End Load SB13ZAE
2013 Louisville Slugger Z2000 ASA Slowpitch Softball Bat End Load SB13ZAE
The 2013 Louisville slugger Z2000 slow pitch softball bats is one of the best softball bats ever made. The Z2000 line of softball bats uses the exclusive LS2X composite material in the handle and the barrel. This material is thinner, stronger, and lighter than ever before. The LS 2X composite actually uses more material in the barrel, but has a thinner wall because of the tight composite weave that Louisville Slugger was able to achieve. The End Loaded Z2000 is ASA approved, and has a one year warranty against defects from Lousiville Slugger. Z2000 softball bats have two inner discs to prevent the barrel wall from flexing beyond allowable limits; this means your Z2000 will be hotter from day one than any other slow pitch bat on the market. There is no break in period with the Z2000.

This week, health officials said that they planned to have H1N1 vaccine available in early fall. Recommendations for who should take priority in immunization efforts are different than those for traditional seasonal influenza. Rather than focusing vaccination efforts on the elderly, the CDC says that the H1N1 vaccine should first go to a group of people including:

Thanks to the efforts of whistleblower Edward Snowden and the reluctant cooperation of the Washington Post, American citizens are now able to see just what their half-trillion dollars have bought them over the last 10 years: a vastly larger and more expensive and invasive surveillance state than most people even imagined. And the Post warned that the "black budget" provided to them by Snowden is only part of the picture, and that even what was exposed is dated.
For simplicity, the "black budget," proposed to Congress and dated in February 2012 for the fiscal year 2013, funds the "black operations" of 16 spy agencies, not just the big ones capturing the headlines. The "big five" include the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the National Security Agency (NSA), the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO).
The budget, estimated at more than $50 billion a year, fails to include another $23 billion for similar surveillance costs absorbed by the Defense Department, according to the Post. And after reviewing Snowden's documents with various spy agency advisors, part of Snowden's leaks were "redacted" or eliminated from publication altogether. So the Post's revelations provide a brief but limited and dated peek behind the black spy curtain that has shielded their operations for years. And because part of that budget is now funding measures to keep other whistleblowers from parting that curtain in the future, this may be the last time such a limited look will be allowed.
Nevertheless, what is revealed is staggering. The agencies, in aggregate, have four tasks and five missions. They collect data, analyze it, process it, and act on it. The starting point is with the little-known NRO, which designs, builds, and operates the spy satellites that collect satellite intelligence, divides it into bite-size pieces, and sends the signal intelligence (SIGINT) to the NSA, the imagery intelligence (IMINT) to the NSA, and the measurement and signature intelligence (MASINT) to the DIA.
From there, more than 100,000 workers analyze, track, and follow where that intelligence leads, in accordance with their mission: warning U.S. leaders about potential threats, neutralizing those threats, stopping the spread of weaponry in the possession of those threats, hacking into their networks, and eliminating the threats.

James R. Murray
PAWTUCKET - James 'Jimmy' R. Murray, 66, passed away October 24, 2012 after an illness.
Born in Pawtucket, a son of the late James Madden and Loretta (Beauregard) Murray, he was a lifelong resident of the city, and had been employed as an expediter for the former Feldman Furniture Co. for several years. Jimmy had also tended bar part time in the Pawtucket area.
He leaves a sister, Rita E. Buteau and her husband Richard and a brother Al Beauregard all of Florida, 4 nephews and a niece.
Jose Lameiras Alves
CUMBERLAND - Jose Lameiras Alves, 79, of Cumberland, passed away Friday, November 2, in the Rhode Island Hospital, Providence. He was the husband of Mary C. (Paiva) Alves.
Born in Aldeia Formosa, Portugal, he was the son of the late Adelino and Maria Augusta (Tavares) Alves. He resided in Cumberland for many years.
He was a United States Army, Korean War Veteran.
Mr. Alves was employed as a production manager for American Insulated Wire for 38 years, retiring in 1990.
When last we saw Wes Pennington and his North Smithfield football troupe, the Northmen were set to embark upon an unprecedented double bye that would encompass three whole weeks between games.
PAWTUCKET — Head coach Pierre Ridore had several reasons to believe his Shea High squad would reign in a R.I. Division I Tournament preliminary tilt against Cumberland on Thursday afternoon.
First, his Raiders had rolled to a 4-1 victory over the Clippers just nine days before this playoff; second, Ridore's bunch entered the contest with a 6-0-1 mark at home – that is, when it played either at Max Read Field or the McKinnon-Alves Complex – and this would be played at the latter.
PAWTUCKET — In the end, or more appropriately the final 15 minutes of their R.I. Division III Tournament preliminary-round contest, Tolman High players – those on the bench and, actually, a select few on the field – kept screaming, "Pass it to Morgan! C'mon, Morgan!"
Those chants were directed at freshman midfielder Morgan Clark, No. 6 on your roster.
PAWTUCKET — The city's public schools, most built decades ago, would be in line for some much-needed renovations and repairs without greatly impacting taxpayers if a $5 million bond request passes.
Schools Supt. Deborah Cylke is urging voters heading to the polls on Nov. 6 to approve "Question 14" on the local ballot. As stated on the ballot, Question 14 would "provide for health, safety, and fire code-related emergency repairs, renovations and equipping of public school buildings." The bond would be amortized over 20 years.
G. Eleanor D'Olivo
LINCOLN - G. Eleanor (Bateman) D'Olivo, 92, of Vista Drive died Sunday, October 28, 2012 at Our Lady of Fatima Hospital, North Providence. She was the wife of the late Ralph W. D'Olivo.
Born in Providence, a daughter of the late Charles E. and Pearl (Blanding) Bateman, she had lived in Lincoln for the past 55 years.
Maurice F. Benoit
NORTH SMITHFIELD - Maurice F. Benoit, 94 of N. Smithfield, formerly of Cumberland, died Sunday at St. Antoine Nursing Home. He was the husband of the late Beatrice T. (Guindon) Benoit. Born in Central Falls, he was a son of the late Albert and Laura (Dumaine) Benoit.
Mr. Guindon was a self employed owner of a Maintenance business for over 35 years. He was a World War II veteran having served with the Merchant Marines.
Mr. Benoit was an avid golfer and in his younger years he was a boxer.
Thomas J. Kerry, Jr.
PAWTUCKET - Thomas J. Kerry, Jr., 69, entered into eternal life on Thursday, November 1, 2012. He was the beloved husband of Pamela (Leake) Kerry for 25 years. Born in Hartford, CT, he was a son of the late Thomas J., Sr. and Mary (Ellsworth) Kerry.
Tom worked as a software programmer for Matchrite Color Matching Systems for over 15 years. He was a communicant of Blessed John Paul II Parish and an active 4th Degree member of the parish's Knights of Columbus council.

With HyperCube®, we can help you use artificial intelligence to navigate an ocean of complex, dynamic data and gain deeper understanding of your key risks and opportunities.
This unique tool handles big data in a new way. Its breakthrough data analysis technology dramatically improves the way you can make decisions in an environment where data grows exponentially.
HyperCube® is a solution recognized by the Pasteur Institute as the best performing data analysis tool available today. They describe it as: "a new data mining algorithm that can identify the combinations of variables that give the optimal prediction of the outcome of interest. We demonstrate that the model identified by HyperCube® has better predictive value than any other model tested." HyperCube® has also won an innovative technology award from the MIT (USA).
When combined with our consultants' business expertise, this unique data mining solution identifies your needs, generates relevant business rules, develops operational plans and builds you a continuous improvement process.
HyperCube®, helps you to find solutions that are directly and immediately applicable to your business environment.
Read what the analysts are saying on BearingPoint and HyperCube®
For further information please visit hypercube.bearingpoint.com.
HyperCube® is a mathematical algorithm and rule generation technology. It identifies the sets of simultaneous conditions in data that yield a higher frequency of specific occurrences. Simply put, it shows patterns of probable outcomes from variable inputs.
Applications include:
- Insurance. A client wanted to find out the factors that affected the attrition of life assurance policyholders. The key factors that HyperCube® uncovered were: customer age, number of children, number of bank accounts, marketing segment and gender.
- Retail. A client wanted to discover the main factors affecting the sales performance of their retail stores. HyperCube® found the crucial factors to be: the store location (which all retailers know to be important) and - more surprisingly - the length of shelving holding products aimed at children.
- Healthcare. HyperCube® is often used in clinical trials and diagnostics. It can provide industry-specific business rules that can be developed for clients and applied to their production models.
The technology is non-statistical – it does not take a sample and use algorithms in order to validate a hypothesis. Instead, it takes input from a large volume of data and outputs the results from the data alone. This means that all the available data is taken into account.
The lack of a hypothesis is another advantage of HyperCube® over statistics. HyperCube® exposes the rules and dependencies that are indicated by the data. It is not tied to any previously held view. Statistics, on the other hand, test data to see whether it proves a specified scenario.
Business applications
Over the past five years, our HyperCube® team has worked with over two hundred companies on many challenges including:
Customer behavior study, marketing and distribution
- Which of my clients are likely to change operator?
- How will we optimize the product mix or the opening of shops in new geographies?
- Which levers should we use to improve our marketing campaign efficiency?
Risk prevention and fraud management
- Why does this customer profile represent a higher payment default risk?
- How can we anticipate fraud risks amongst our credit card holders?
Human resource management
- How to reduce non-structural absenteeism?
- What are the operational levers to improve safety?
- How to retain high potentials?
Supply chain optimization and manufacturing
- Which production frequency minimizes production defects?
- What are the reasons behind breakdowns in supply chains?
- What are the reasons behind breakdowns in critical systems defaults?
R&D in life science and healthcare
- What are the profiles of the patients with a high risk of occurrence of serious adverse events to a new treatment?
- Can we find biomarkers enabling an early detection of Alzheimer disease?
- Can we identify patients' subsets who respond better than average to a new treatment?
Defense and intelligence
- How to optimize the processing of weak signal from electromagnetic origin?
- How can we anticipate risky vessel routes?
- Which profiles of individuals deserve special surveillance?
Independent expert opinion
The HyperCube® solution has been recognized and awarded by the business and scientific community, including the MIT Board, Pasteur Institute and IDC.
In 2010, HyperCube® entered the final round of the MIT Sloan School "Innovation Showcase". This award recognizes 10 young firms proposing innovative technologies.
"The new state-of-the-art Complex Event Intelligence: proactive/predictive optimization of problems on a granular level through non-assumptions based analysis of massive scale non-homogenous data sets."
Jim Champy, MIT Board
In 2011, HyperCube® was recognized by the Pasteur Institute as the best performing data analysis tool as of today:
"We describe here a new data mining algorithm that can identify the combinations of variables that give the optimal prediction of the outcome of interest. We demonstrate that the model identified by HyperCube® has better predictive value than any other model tested. HyperCube® was able to identify the best cut-off value and range for continuous variables. It classified the population into high and low risk groups and made the results easier to interpret in terms of biology than the probability estimates generated by most statistical methods."
In 2012, IDC underlined the calculation power of HyperCube®:
"HyperCube® has the ability to help organisations identify causal links between different factors as represented in a dataset, and present these links as business rules in a simple format to an end user. The fact that it outpaces traditional statistics by firstly requiring no hypothesis and secondly working on a full dataset rather than a sample is very powerful. It constitutes an excellent reusable asset for BearingPoint's consulting practice."

I read Jenkin's book on writing and was impressed by the professional way he approached his career. I am late in life to worry about a career but I want to be a good steward of the life the Lord has opened to me, so I think that includes becoming a better writer.
Thank all of you for your generous response to my query.

History Café: Director John Gordon Hill
The spring of 1962 was a pivotal time for the city of Seattle. The World's Fair gave us the Space Needle and the monorail and brought Elvis and John Glenn to Seattle. Filmmaker John Gordon Hill discusses KCTS 9's 1962 World's Fair documentary "When Seattle Invented the Future."
I was 19 years old and came to Seattle as a staff member at the Philippine Pavilion. I met a lot of wonderful people. It was one of the greatest experiences of my life. I wish I could meet some of them again.
I was 12 when my family went to the fair. In a time when we were all afraid of nuclear destruction, I found the Peace Pavillion and the people so committed to preventing all war profoundly moving. It moves me even now to remember. There were open-air sweeping white arches, and lots to read and think about.
oh it seems like yesterday ,many yesterday I hate to admit ,that I was working part time for the Vancouver province newspaper [ 7508] trying to get people to take the paper even if for a month just so I could win a trip to the world's fair in Seattle ,I bet that my parents had wished that I had another p.t job before school,since I would always sleep in and the sub manager would have to bang at the front door just to wake me up ,and every one else for that matter,,since I was never a good sales person ,then as well as now ,I was surprise to find out that I WAS GOING , yes I won ,,oh god ,how did that happen? it must of being all those one month subscribers ,that I need to deliver to , oh well ,I'M going to Seattle ,had never been and was looking forward to the day trip.on the bus ,which seem like it took hours and hours to get there.but IT was worth it what I can remember anyway, since that trip in 62, I have never stopped going to Seattle,
Does anyone remember the Library of the Future at the Seattle Worlds Fair? I haven't found any pictures of it. Or the Gutenberg Bible that was on display too. Thanks Linda
I have a collection of photos and articles on the Christian Witness Pavillion at the fair. My in-laws were instrumental in setting this pavillion up and organizing the activities during the fair--a childcare facility for fair goers who needed a break from their children.
My family headed to the World's Fair from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on their annual camping holiday. My most vivid memory as a four-year-old was getting a ride on the monorail. My parents, on a budget as always, bought tickets as a treat for my two older siblings and me but didn't realize that it was a one-way trip. They were frantic with worry by the time our little trio showed up again having walked back under the monorail to the starting point. Just this past year my daughter and I returned to Seattle and rode the monorail-- both ways this time! It's a great city and I hope not to wait such a long time again before returning.
My Grandparents were both from Belgium. they both served at the World's Fair, I believe, as representatives for the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. My Grandmother served up a few of those Belgian Waffles. I grew up eating many of her wonderful Flemmish treats. Hers always tasted the best, but the waffles at the Seattle World's Fair were made and introduced by my Grandmother (not just her, but she was one of them).
Some of my favorite memories include going to the site of the Space Needle to see the construction of the footings and seeing the giant sized nuts and anchor bolts used to hold the legs to the concrete footings.
Going through the "House of the Future" and then finding that house in Corvallis, OR some 45 years later and for sale. It had not aged well.
Getting pins at the USSR exhibit.
"Please Step to the Rear of the Sphere" sang the Bubbleator operator.
My family attended the 1962 Seattle World's Fair. Coming from Ashland, OR, the fair was huge and exciting for the whole family. My brother was 7 and I was 5. I have memories of crowds and rides and smells and especially riding up the Space Needle. My dad's favorite memory from that trip was recounting that my poor brother (who suffered from motion sickness)started looking a little green as we descended the Space Needle's speedy elevator. We exited, and my brother made a beeline to the base of one of the Needle's footings and promptly lost his lunch! Memorable. My brother and I both moved to Seattle as young adults, and have lived here for 20+ years. And every time I pass by the Space Needle while at Seattle Center, I feel a very special connection with that beautiful Jetson-inspiring structure!
I was the Filipino Queen during the World's Fair and was crowned by LT.Gov. John Cherberg. It was a very exciting year for me. My gown was designed by a famous Filipino couturier named Pitoy Moreno. I had a chance to meet him while he came to Seattle for the Fair. I recently visited Seattle last month since I now live in Cambridge, MA (right across from Harvard University.) My brother, granddaughter and me visited the World's Fair. It sure brought back pleasant memories. I even met Elvis!! I bought the book and I was surprised to see my picture is in the book! Happy Anniversary!!
My first memory of the Seattle's World Fair was also the opening day and the Jet that crashed. It was a few houses down from where I lived and my family witnessed the whole crash. My Brothers were on the roof watching planes do various tricks for the opening. We all watched as a Fighter Jet went into a big dive. We were all yelling," pull up, pull up" and before we knew it was bearing down on our house. It was surreal and a scene I'll never forget, but just as it was about to hit, the tip of the wing hit a lone pine tree and the Jet switched directions sending it crashing down the street instead. There was a huge fireball and the force was so great, it broke windows all up the street. Sadly, a senior couple was killed, but all the other houses it hit, either the people weren't home or somehow! Everyone got out, even though their house was hit too. I was 10 at the time and my friends lived in the houses hit so I got in when most of the area was off limits. A crazy sight! My friend's room was a big hole in the ground and stuff was melted to the walls. Shrapnel was stuck in trees and littered the whole neighborhood. Our summer project was collecting it.
It wasn't all bad. We usually didn't get to go anywhere, but our relatives from Illinois came out, so we got to go a couple of times. I LOVED it! –Everything - All the Futuristic stuff, rides, Bubleator, Flag pavilion and especially the Science Pavilion. On one of the trips we had just gotten our tickets and barely were inside when there was all this commotion. Here was another girl getting tagged as the 9 (?) millionth guest! Ahhh, just missed it. Fun visit anyway.
I have been going to Seattle Center ever since. What fun it was when my Kids were small to take them on the Bubbleator, fun forest and up the Needle. Really enjoying everyone's stories too.
My brother, Ray Shupp, and the Olympia High School Band played at the Fair. They were awarded a metal on royal blue ribbon. The metal, his clarinet and case were stolen years back. He's about to retire, at the young age of 66, from teaching. Attempts have been made with our newspaper and Olympia High School to obtain a photo or clipping to no avail. Since we only get 15 minutes of fame, maybe someone has something to contribute to Mr. Shupp's opus. Thanks in advance.
I was living in Arcadia, CA, going to school at L.A. State. My roommate Janet Jones and I drove to Seattle to meet my parents and younger siblings (who lived in Spokane) for a 4-day fair visit. The fair was fabulous, I especially liked the wide range of musical acts and events, as well as the innovative technological ideas and wide array of cultures - the food, the dress - the crafts - the music. It solidified the focus of my studies back at school in folklore and arts administration. I would eventually return to Spokane and become one of the producers of "The Northwest: A Gift of the Earth", the folklife festival that provided the cornerstone theme for the 1974 Spokane World's Fair. I still feel that was my most exciting professional endeavor. By then, Overton Berry (who contributes to this film), and I have become long time friends, along with other many other wonderful PNW musicians and artists I've worked with over the years. Having been involved since with a variety of nonprofit public cultural programming entities, I realize the importance of the Seattle World's Fair that has resulted in the growth and vibrancy of the arts and culture in Seattle. Whether by design or happenstance, it provided the cornerstone (Seattle Center) for an explosion of arts and culture for all Seattleites and visitors. After a stint working in the Southwest, primarily manifesting cross-cultural programming and films with Mexico and co-founding the Tucson Jazz Society, I moved back to Seattle where I became ED of the Seattle Folklore Society, then the parent organization for the Northwest Folklife Festival, still (I believe) the only admission-free festival of its size in the world, held every Memorial Day weekend at Seattle Center. The Seattle World's Fair opened my eyes to a lifetime of creative manifestation and I revel in the joy of its legacy often.
I was a university student from Victoria who had a summer job as a waiter on the Princess Marguerite which sailed between Seattle and Victoria every day. In 1961 we watched in awe from Puget Sound as the Space Needle went up. During the fair the Princess Marguerite arrived in Seattle each evening and then became a floating hotel overnight. Being in Seattle every night was great. But the hardest part of the job was trying to wake up all the overnight guests VERY EARLY in the morning. It was around 6:00 as they had to get off the ship by 7:00 so it could load all the day passengers for Victoria and leave at 8:oo . The fair itself was wonderful to an excited 19 year old. Besides the space needle and science pavilion, I still remember seeing color television for the first time at the KOMO studio. The fair whetted my appetite for many future visits to your great city. Thanks to the citizens of Seattle!
Does anyone recall staying on the Princess Marguerite?
I ran across this when trying to figure out what is was that we took from Seattle to Victoria in 1965 and I think it must have been this Princess Marguerite that you speak of. We would have been the passengers that got on at 8 after you woke up the night group. I went for a day trip to Victoria, which was very exciting. I was 10 and I think it was my first time out of the US. It was somewhat fancy and we dressed up for the occasion. I wore a brand new dress. But that may have not meant that much, because you dressed up to go out for dinner in those days.
...let's see...standing on the corner near our apartment at 14th @ Olive we could clearly watch the building of the 'needle'. My parents never actual took us to the fair, but I did somehow manage to go. I remember somewhere they had this real cool exhibit of one million dollar coins. They were in this huge display case...very cool. The monorail was very slick and moved with ease above the traffic. I believe in the early days the needle had a real flame on top..? One of my friends was the first in our neighborhood to actually go up in the needle. He was like a celebrity for the rest of the summer. The coolest part was to stand at the bottom of the needle and look straight up. You could get dizzy. I also saved up and bought one of the special Seattle World's fair coins. It was like special money and you could spend it anywhere (even in Bremerton) during when the fair was the fair.
Recollections of the Seattle World's Fair ...
(1) The plane crash from the flyover on opening day that killed a couple watching the fair events on TV at home because they had been advised that crowds would cause problems for those attending the fair on opening day.
(2) Bill Cosby featured as a commentator broadcasting for an extended period on radio from the Space Needle throughout the summer. We didn't know at the time that he would later become famous for his hilarious recordings and for several popular series on TV.
(3) President Kennedy having to call off his planned visit at the close of the fair, reportedly due to illness. We later learned that the reason for his no-show was the escalation of the Cuban Missile Crisis.
My parents were very involved in the Seattle Worlds Fair in 1962. I have some very rare mint condition VIP invitaitons and un-opened record from opening day. I was only 6 years old but I remember how amazing everything was. My parents were also very involved in helping produce the Seattle Folklife Festival in 1972. To me Seattle is one of the most beautiful cities in America. I hold this city close to my heart. It is just amazing how far Seattle has grown in just 50 years. Thank you KCTS9 for remembering the future of Seattle.
Knute just showed a helmet from the fair. Wow! My mother (a polio victim) was in a wheel chair and always looked for jobs that she could do at home. I was 9 years old and vividly remember people delivering huge cases of the helmets in assorted colors to our house and she and I would spend hours putting the stickers on them. Then they would come and pick them up and bring more cases. Strangely, I never ended up with a helmet.
What a memory, right at the end of your awesome documentary!
The documentary looks fascinating! Is there any way I can watch it online if I don't have a television?
I was young (4) when I went to the fair. I vaguely remember the cable hung carriers that transported visitors above the crowds to another part of the fair. I was the youngest of my family (at that time) so got to ride on my Dad's shoulders for part of the day. I remember the ladies in the Bubbleator in their fancy outfits and thinking Wow was this the future? When I was 16 my Dad handed me a package. Inside was a charm bracelet with a Space Needle on it. He said he kept it for me since that trip to the fair, and figured it was good time to give it to me. I still have it and brings back good memories of the exciting trip to the fair. Congratulations and Happy Celebrating!
My father was the manager (director?) of the children's section of the Science Center during the fair. He worked from sometime in early spring (well before the fair started), and I know he was still working the day of the Columbus Day storm. He was also a teacher in Seattle Public Schools, so did "double duty" during much of that time.
I was 8 years old and turned 9 that July. My photo is in the original souvenir book, and reappeared in the recent Seattle MET magazine recounting the history of the fair. (...I must say I let out a small shriek in the grocery store when I idly opened that issue and found myself looking AT myself!)
There was a time, years later, when it seemed that he may have been an assistant director of the entire Science Center. That is very unclear to me, and may or may not have been true ~ I have not been able to find out.
I have many memories of the fair, as I was there fairly often. My Bluebird group sang on the flag plaza for some part of the opening ceremonies. Some of my friends were also photographed for the souvenir book on that day in early spring (when my father very suddenly called my mother and said there would be photographers there later that SAME day, and could she possibly round up some children willing to be photographed?? ~ She did.)
At any rate, I was inordinately proud of my father, proud of Seattle, proud to be alive, and excited about the wonderful future ahead of us all in "Century 21"!!
To KEM: I, too, remember singing in the Flag Pavilion as a Camp Fire Girl. We had gathered at a Burien school with other Blue Bird and Camp Fire groups in the (now) SeaTac and Burien areas for the purpose of learning and practicing our songs. I clearly remember that my age group sang "The Tennesee Waltz" and I think we sang "Froggy Went a'Courtin'". I do remember being very bored at the last practice but the actual performance day was thrilling!
The flags were impressive and I was proud to be in my red, white and blue Camp Fire Girls outfit, singing as part of a large turnout of girls who were involved in a terrific youth development organization. (Not that I knew back then that it was a youth development organization. I just knew that I enjoyed the meetings and the activities and the adult leaders who voluntereed their time with us.)
Was that the same day that the Soviet Premier, Nikita Krushchev, attended the fair? Anyway, it was a day that I felt proud to be an American, a Washingtonian, a Seattleite and an 11 year-old girl. I will never forget the experience. I still have my '21' pin, my felt CFG emblem commemorating the event and one or two world's fair 'dollar coins.'
I was 8 yrs old with my Bluebird Group from FallCity Wa. We sang with other groups from all over, I remember singing "Washington my home" and Oklahoma. What an amazing time that was.
Gail, I recognize your name. If you were 11, you were "impossibly" older than I (I was in awe of anyone even one grade above me)..... But at any rate, I was in the Westline District and stayed in Camp Fire all the way through school.
And by the way, I think my mother accompanied EVERYthing in those days that was "Camp Fire" in South King County. She accompanied Camp Fire singing at Southcenter at Christmas for years.
A friend and I have been talking; she thinks we sang "Froggy Went a'Courtin'" as well. She also thinks we sang, "My Old Kentucky Home" ~ and I KNOW we sang "You're A Grand Old Flag" (because I've known it ever since!).
At any rate, I still have my Century 21 felt patch, but what the heck was the 21 pin??
My Aunt Carol worked in the Space Needle gift shop during the fair. I was so proud of her!
My brother won a trip to the World's Fair for being a top paperboy in his district. And of course, Elvis was there!!!!!!!!
My Dad helped make the original huge 6x24" post cards with the photo of the Space Needle against the blue sky. My mom still has a few.
I was 9 yrs old when my parents packed my 3 older sisters and me into our station wagon for the 2+ hour ride from Oak Harbor on Whidbey Island to Seattle. It was a trip we didn't make very often and I was excited beyond belief. I'd never been to Disneyland and what little I had seen in the newspaper about what would be at the World's Fair really peaked my interest, even being so young.
My most vivid memories are riding on the Bubbelator and going through the Home of the Future, having lunch up in the Space Needle, which was a HUGE splurge for my parents, and getting separated briefly from my parents in the Science Pavilion. I'd never seen crowds of people like that before and the overwhelming panic I felt when I was pushed along with the crowd going down the stairs, away from my mother's hand, still sticks with me today! I still cannot stand being lost.
It was a most thrilling and terrifying day all in one! Everything I saw at the 1962 World's Fair made me very hopeful about the future. At that time schoolkids were still having to kneel in the hallways or hide under desks with our hands over our heads in the event of a nuclear attack. The 1962 World's Fair made all things good seem possible and I felt proud that Seattle was at the center of it.
My aunt demonstrated live Horseshoe crabs at the Science Pavilion.
I have a collection of photos and articles from the fair pertaining to the Christian Witness Pavillion. My in-laws were intrumental in setting up this pavillion and organizing it's daily activities--providing a couple of hours of childcare for fair goers.

I was not born as of yet but my father was 21 when he visited the fair with a press pass from Channel 12. He told me a story recently of him and friend being asked to participate on a game show which was being broadcast in color. He cannot recall the name of the show but it involved him running back and forth with a key, trying to find the right one to open a lock.
Sadly they didn't win but as a consolation prize they were awarded one of the coveted Space Needle lighters that was one of the hotter items to get. He gave it to his friend and unfortunately it has been lost in time.
As a personal project I have been searching for the footage, if it still exists, but so far I've had a lot of fun talking to archivists as I am looking to go to school to become one myself. If anyone has any information or possible leads please comment back.
Also to the KCTS folks, I came across a booth at the Aurora Antique Pavilion on Highway 99 chock full of original Seattle's Fair merchandise as well as one of the Space Needle lighters for around 500 bucks. Just a heads up, hopefully it helps you out.
My Dad worked on the sky ride at the World's Fair before I was born and still keeps his ID card in his wallet!
I wasn't even around back in 1962.
My Dad installed the Bubbleator, I was stationed in Germany at the time of the Fair but when I got home they showed me a newspaper photo and article about him during the installation.
Sir, Can you give us more information about your father? We need it for our project--Stories of visitors of the Seattle World's Fair.
My dad drove to the world's fair at the ripe old age of 16 from northern Minnesota. His older brother lived up here so he had a place to stay. somewhere in South Dakota his car broke down (needed a generator)...so my dad called home and my grandfather said "fix it" and hung up the phone...haha 2 days of sleeping in a barn the parts finally came in and he was on the road again...till the car broke down again in Idaho...which he just put it in neutral and coasted into spokane (no interstates...just a very scary steep drive downhill according to him). He finally made it and enjoyed the fair...but spent most of the time rebuilding the car to make the trip home.
I was 9 at the time of the worlds fair. My Aunt and Uncle had a spot on the "Food Circus" serving sandwiches. As I recall they had two of the first microwave ovens on the west coast. Quite possibly the first time microwaves were used in commercial food prep. At least in Seattle.
I just took my family to visit the Space Needle yesterday on our way home from a vacation in Victoria.
I was 13 when my family visited the worlds fair. One of my most vivid memories was when I climbed up on one of the big footings for the space needle (the ones with several large nuts). I was sitting there resting, and after awhile a large throng of people was passing by. Then in the middle of it all was Elvis riding on a tram with several other people (they were there to film the movie). They passed just a few feet in front of me, so I had a very good view from my vantage point on the Space Needle footing.
My youngest daughter is just turned 13. Yesterday I sat her up on the same footing I sat on nearly 50 years ago, and I took her picture. Now that memory is even more pleasant. :-)
I was born in 1961.
I attended the 1962 World's Fair at the tender age of 1. My mother brought me up from Salem, Oregon to go with my two Aunts who lived in Seattle at the time. I currently have a still shot that was taken at the fair and of course, I do not remember any of it. Unfortunately, my mother and both of my aunt's have long past away so I cannot quiz them about that time.
I was almost 12 and my Father won a Salmon Derby that was hosted by the Elks Lodge in Olympia. The top prize was $200 in Worlds Fair money and tickets to the fair. The wind was blowing too much for the elevators to operate up the Needle so we did not get the opportunity to go to the top. To this day I have yet to visit the Needle. My fondest memory of the fair was the water ski show as I knew that I could perform as well as those entertainers and I maintained that dream all the way into my twenties. However, much like riding the elevators up the Needle; being a professional water skier never happened either.
Noel, you have to take a trip to the needle! Make a special occasion out of it and eat a fancy dinner at the top!
I worked with Mary Boland and Hap Hazard at the space needle gift shop.I enjoyed riding the elevator with the prime rib and those wonderful lemon sweetrolls...We had a hard time finding anything to sell that wasn't from Japan..I do remember one very high wind storm that made the jewelry sway and when Janie Rosselini got stuck in the elevator...the times were so different that I even took the bus to Lake City at 1am. I loved working there, it became almost like home..I remember James Garner and Hogy Charmichael and Sammy Davis Jr.
My mother's best friend Corinne Marshall was an extra in the Elvis movie..those were the days.
My wife and her parents went to the World Fair and there main memory is how my wide became the first lost child at the fair. I remember seeing a newspaper clipping one of her grandparents kept about the event. She would have been around 3 or 4 at the time.
If that is of any interest to anyone I can see if they remember anything more.
Yikes, I now see why you have that preview button by the save. I really do know the difference between their and there and my wife is not wide but my fingers are.
I was seven years old when the World's fair kicked off.
I was born in Minnesota. At the time, my oldest sister's husband (Air Force) was stationed at the Fairchild AFB.
We came up to visit, and part of that visit included a trip to Seattle.
I remember my sister up from me (three years older) picking up what she thought was a gag candy:
Chocolate covered ants, Honey covered bees
I suggested she read the ingredients:
"Chocolate covered ants, Honey covered bees"
All I remember thinking was how I wish she had bought (and ate) the candy for no other reason than the look on her face at first bite...
The other thing I remember was attending a presentation at the Ripley's Believe it or Not exhibit in which the man in charge demonstrated the firing of the world's smallest working firearm. I still remember it because he put the shell casing in an envelope and gave it to me. Being no more than maybe 9 or 10 at the time (or younger), I had no grasp of the value of it. My sister was there, maybe she did, I have no recollection of what happened to it.
It was just a special moment never repeated over the course of my childhood.
I used to collect the old Ripley's believe it or not books.
They too disappeared, just as did my old comic book collection ("rot my brain").
Unfortunately, all I have left, in spite of my best effort, are memories. But, you asked.

|Primary Completion Date:
|April 2014 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: Denosumab
Drug: Denosumab
60mg subcutaneous injection 6 monthly for 2 doses
Other Name: Prolia
Active Comparator: bisphosphonates

Drug: bisphosphonates
continue present bisphosphonate treatment
Other Name: continuation of bisphosphonates in their usual dosages
Detailed Description:
There are no data on the use of denosumab in steroid induced osteoporosis. Postmenopausal women with chronic use of Glucocorticoid (GCs) are at high-risk of osteoporotic fractures. Despite bisphosphonate treatment, a certain proportion of high-risk patients using chronic GCs either do not achieve a satisfactory gain in bone mineral density (BMD) or develop new fragility fractures. Thus, more potent osteoporosis treatment is necessary for this subgroup of patients. This prompts the current study which aims to examine the efficacy of denosumab in current users of oral bisphosphonates for Glucocorticoid-induced Osteoporosis (GIOP).

Valentine's Day Bark
I made chocolate toffee bark for a few people in the office last night (and wrapped them up this morning) as well as made a few extra for Josh to take to work. They are SO freakin' good and SO easy to make (meaning – my mom could probably handle this one). Get the recipe here from Deep South Dish. (It's literally 5 ingredients). They are a bit gooey, so I wrapped them in wax paper in layers, pulled them in plastic bags from the Paper Source, and then tied with vintage ribbon.
Wishing you a super sweet and wonderful Valentine's Day!
xx, Hallie

With utterly chic sensibilities and a discerning eye for trends, editor of cult beauty blog Into The Gloss Emily Weiss has definitely caught our attention, to say the least. Having previously worked at esteemed glossies like Vogue, Teen Vogue, and W, Weiss possesses serious fashion know-how that translates into top-notch outfits, which makes her an exceptional choice for this month's Style Stalker! We're thrilled that she's now regularly snapped at fashion week and red carpet events, since that means we get to witness her first-rate ensembles on a regular basis. In addition to being avid fans of her personal style, we're crazy about Into the Gloss too, which features a slew of industry insiders revealing their beauty secrets and routines. All in all, we think Weiss is an inspiring choice for today's story and certainly hope you agree!
One thing we appreciate about Weiss is her ability to pull off a wide range of looks. Her ensembles run the gamut from ultra feminine, like the sequined frock she donned at the RxArt event sponsored by Chanel in New York in September, to menswear chic, such as the eye-catching all-white suit she wore to the Coach Summer Party on the High Line back in June. We also adore her penchant for adding tough-girl accents, which always lend an intriguing twist to her outfits. Take, for instance, the leather jacket she wore to the unveiling of the documentary The Client in New York in October. The edgy topper looked fantastic against a sweet LWD, especially when accessorized with statement shoes and patterned clutch. Weiss took a similar approach to dressing at the S/S 11 shows in Paris earlier this year, when she juxtaposed biker boots with a feminine, floral frock and a slouchy sweater, resulting in yet another superb look.
Are you as enamored with her style as we are? Then you'll be delighted to find out that Weiss was kind enough to share some of her inspirations, favorite trends, wardrobe staples, and more! Read on for her answers, plus take a look at our hand-picked pieces that will help you recreate her super chic sensibilities!-Erin Fitzpatrick
Outfit IDs
Go for a glitzy evening look with a sequined dress.
Reed Krakoff dress and shoes; vintage bag.
"I generally prefer looser, easier dresses; you won't find me in a Herve Leger number. I like feeling like myself when I get dressed up. Black and blue is a favorite combination of mine, and I love the hammered sequin embellishment."
Similar Essentials: ASOS Revive Sequin Wrap Front Mini Dress ($273); DKNY Sequin Party Dress ($98); Parker Sequined Camisole Dress ($308).
Punch up a black and white look with multi-colored heels.
Balenciaga dress; Alexander Wang jacket; Salvatore Ferragamo bag; Prada shoes.
"The perfect LBD: I found it at a Balenciaga sample sale. The Alexander Wang jacket has a great languid feel to it that makes it the perfect topper for a night out. And these Prada shoes-I call them my Prada Tevas. They are so wacky and buckled, but somehow, they still look "right" and not outdated. A real accomplishment for shoes that are more than three years old, I think."
Similar Essentials: River Island Diamente Double Strapped Heeled Shoes ($100); Nine West Stylin Platform Sandals ($89); DV by Dolce Vita laRENA Platform Heeled Sandals ($182).
Try a pair of dip-dyed jeans for a cool fall look.
Dries van Noten jeans and sweater; Salvatore Ferragamo bag; Céline sunglasses.
"I always make time to shop during Paris Fashion Week. This ensemble was on my wish list for months before I tracked it down, and I practically wore it out of the shop. That little Ferragamo bag has served me well-it goes with everything and is remarkably roomy."
Similar Essentials: Current/Elliott The Arrow First Love Bleach Dip Jeans ($79); create your own by checking out our Do It Yourself: Dip Dye Jeans story!
Center Image
Zara suit; Alexander Wang blouse; Coach bag; Prada shoes.
"A full suit-a modern suit, no tailoring required-for under $300. Need I say more? It was my Bianca Jagger moment."
Similar Essentials: ASOS Premium Double Breasted Blazer ($95) and Premium Slim Pants ($61); Carven Double-Breasted Blazer ($249); Theory Max C Original Pants ($235).
Give a LWD an edgy twist with a leather jacket.
Alexander Wang shirtdress; Balenciaga jacket; Dries van Noten clutch; Gucci shoes.
"I've owned this shirtdress for years and love its versatility. The Gucci shoes were a wise investment-I've worn them nearly every day for the past three months. The Dries clutch is a great day-to-evening bag."
Similar Essentials: Topshop Quilted Leather Biker Jacket ($300); Zara Leather Jacket ($159); Victoria's Secret Leather Quilted Motorcycle Jacket ($199); Carven Silk Twill Dress ($179).
Polish your outfit with a navy tux jacket.
Zara jacket; Topshop tank; Rag & Bone jeans; Gucci shoes.
"I can't go into Zara and leave empty handed. The cut of this jacket is pretty impressive, and I love the colorway. I recently transitioned into wearing more pants instead of skirts and dresses, and bought these Rag & Bone skinny jeans in black and burgundy. I love the way they fit. In lieu of a bag, which I tend to stash under a hair or makeup table when I'm backstage, I've got my trusty Canon slung over my shoulder."
Similar Essentials: Zara Blazer with Shiny Lapel ($90); Balenciaga Blazer ($630); Hoss Intropia Night Blue Blazer with Black Collar ($335).
Balance a bold print with a solid, neutral top.
Vintage dress; Alexander Wang sweater; Miu Miu boots.
"Sometimes I love to slip on a long, tattered vintage dress. And sometimes, it's chilly. It's technically a "summer" dress but I wear it twelve months out of the year, layered up. The proportions of this sweater make it really special."
Similar Essentials: Girl by Band of Outsiders Oversized U-Neck Sweater ($298); Forever 21 Longline Floral Skirt ($14); Lucca Couture Floral Skirt ($75).
Please describe your personal style in two sentences or less.
One part monochromatic/masculine French editrix, one part vintage-loving romantic with a penchant for the artisanal, and one hundred percent high-low mix.
How does the city you live in inspire your day-to-day style?
I think girls in New York really dress for themselves-not for guys, not for each other. It's a very powerful sense of personal style. So I don't get the sense that there is a discernable "New York look." Lately, and I don't know whether or not this has to do with living in New York-or maybe it's just a winter thing-but I've totally gotten into uniform dressing. I'll wear the same Balenciaga moto jacket every day, same Rag & Bone black jeans, and alternate between a couple of different sweaters (Topshop and Céline), ankle booties (black Zara, silver Chanel) and my Dries clutch or black PS1. I'm not gliding in and out of cars all day long-this is a walking city, a subway city, a rushed city. I need to be comfortable and practical, and not take too long in my closet in the morning. I like to really figure out a few things I love to be in, and have them at arm's reach.
List some of your favorite current trends and why you appreciate them/how you are wearing them.
I've really been into "white as the new black." I think an all-white outfit, even simple pieces like white jeans and a white Equipment blouse, makes a beautiful statement, and it's easy. The other day I added an ivory Margiela blazer on top and boom-winter white made easy. I love the 1940's dresses at Miu Miu and Vuitton, and I'm wearing a bunch of my old dresses in the winter, layering with flat boots and sweaters. And I love, love clutches for daytime. I hunted down the beaded patent tortoiseshell Dries Van Noten envelope clutch this season and I wear it everywhere, even to the deli to grab coffee. Any accessories that are small and special-interesting materials, hardware-I find to be great finishing touches to more minimal clothes. It's a challenge not to buy the shoes in black...but if most of your clothes are neutral, why not?
Who are some of your style icons and why?
Jane Birkin in and around the time of Slogan in the '60s-just so, so beautiful. Gwyneth Paltrow in Great Expections-the best of that sleek '90s dressing. I don't dress that way, really, but it definitely made an impression. And there's a Brazilian fashion editor, Costanza Pascolato, who is an incredibly chic older woman, always subtly embracing trends and interpreting them in her own way. She's very Anne Bancroft in The Graduate. And then, of course, I love to look at Kate Moss and Emmanuelle Alt.
Name one go-to piece in your closet and why.
Actually, at the moment it's a button-down chambray shirt from Madewell, that I "borrowed" from my friend Ashley a couple of months ago and can't bring myself to return. You see them on everyone-everywhere-but to get the right cut, then the right texture, and color-forget it. It's longer, which I really love. I wear it untucked, unbuttoned over a T Alexander Wang slouchy tank and skinny black jeans. Sorry Ashley...

It seems that a new Droid is being planned for launch next week. A recent press release statement released on the internet has shown that Motorola and Verizon Wireless plan on coming together for this latest unlocked smartphone release. Although nothing has been disclosed, it is stated that the new mobile phone to be released will be named the Droid X and will work on Google's Android.
There have already various leaked photos on the internet showing the Droid X. Though nothing has been officially declared as yet regarding the dimensions of the Droid X, from the pictures we can see that it is most probably that the screen size of the Droid X will be a mammoth 4.4 inches. This would make it much bigger than even the EVO 4G. You can expect to have a wonderful touch screen experience from such a large mobile.
It has also rumored that the latest version of MotoBlur will be included on this device, which means that you will not face any problems like on the Motorola Unlocked Backflip. At the same time, you can expect the camera to have a minimum of 8 MP as well as the ability of recording video at 720p. You can also be sure that the latest version of Google's operating system, Android 2.2 will be loaded on the Droid X, which will be powered by a 1GHz processor. Most other connectivity options that are currently available on other mobile phones of such quality are sure to be included as well.
Although those that have gotten the specs of the Droid X seem to be quite fascinated and awe struck by it, you can be sure that the combination of Google, Motorola and Verizon Wireless are sure to throw up more surprises in the weeks to come. When this new Droid finally hits stores around the country, it will have ushered in a new wave of smartphone along with the iPhone, EVO 4G and the myTouch 3G Slide.

Watch and Learn: Gaining Mobile Marketing Inspiration and Instruction at Cannes Lions
Touch screens, high-speed data connections, GPS, and accelerometers; the ability to stream video, play games, buy stuff, take photos, and connect with friends through text, social networking, and the classic phone call; a tool for engaging consumers wherever they happen to be. Mobile devices are alive with capabilities. All too often, however, mobile marketing doesn't take full advantage of this abundance. Not enough people know how to produce powerful brand experiences with the small screen and mobile setting just yet.
That's why I was absolutely thrilled with the presence of mobile marketing at the 2012 Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival of Creativity. For anyone curious about producing vibrant and effective mobile campaigns, the big two mobile firsts at the 59th year of the annual event—the first-ever mobile awards category and the first-ever all-day forum dedicated to creativity in mobile advertising moderated by our own Randall Rothenberg, President and CEO, IAB—provided valuable instruction and inspiration.
IAB's Randall Rothenberg, Anna Bager, and David Doty at Cannes Lions 2012.
At the last session of the historic IAB forum, "Secrets of the Mobile Superstars", Thomas Fellger, founding partner and CEO at iconmobile, demonstrated how mobile can be used, not just for advertising, but also for innovative types of marketing by showcasing the breakthrough MINI Connected app. Car owners, after downloading the app and plugging their devices into equipped MINIs, can gain access to features like a navigation system, thousands of online radio stations, the ability to scan and post to Facebook, and a dynamic music system that creates an audio experience based on the characteristics of the drive itself. The MINI Connected app literally changes the experience of using the car, building brand loyalty in the process. Also from the stage, Per Holmkvist, Founder and Senior Advisor at Mobiento, told the audience it's time to move past why mobile and to focus instead on how mobile, and to use apps only to "superserve" consumers. Colleen DeCourcy, CEO and founder of Socalistic, advised marketers to think of mobile as an extension of their brand and product line, to obsess over the nuances of behavior and interaction, and to make mobile the enabler within a larger ecosystem.
At another session, MEC Global highlighted the important notion of mobile first, which means embracing mobile at the very outset of campaign development in order to build out from it and deeply incorporate its capabilities into multi-channel initiatives. The Cannes Gold Mobile Lion winner in the category "Use of Multiple Screens or Networked Mobile Technology," illustrated the enormous advantages of this type of extensive mobile integration. For the Super Bowl this year, Chevrolet and Goodby Silverstein & Partners designed the Chevy Game Time app to give viewers an incentive to watch the Chevy commercials very closely and to interact with the brand throughout the game. Here's how it worked: Super Bowl viewers, who were also app users, would answer trivia questions about the brand's ads during the game—and in return, they'd receive a unique license plate number. If they saw their plate number in a later ad, they had won a car. With a game-inspired app, a car as an incentive to play, and real-time association with content, the brand interacted with 700,000 users.
Cannes attendees were brimming with thoughtful optimism about mobile, and I viewed so many eye-opening examples of best-in-class mobile marketing, I returned to the IAB headquarters even more excited for the IAB Mobile Marketplace event on July 16 and assured that we are doing the right thing by expanding the MIXX Award categories to include both "Mobile Ad" and "Mobile Brand Destination Site." There's a demand to see great work; there is ample great work to celebrate and showcase; and there's no better way to learn what you can do with mobile, than observing what great work others have done.
