Title: Simple Solutions for Common Dog Behavior & Training Problems

This seminar will offer simple solutions for the most common dog behavior and training problems, including: housesoiling, destructive chewing, excessive barking, digging, home-alone problems (and separation anxiety), hyperactivity, jumping-up, not coming when called, pulling on leash, leash reactivity to other dogs, plus lack of attention and compliance. Obviously, preventing predictable doggy problems is the way to go but what do we do when adolescence exuberance, distraction and the development of fears and phobias override socialization and training? How can we retrain dogs in shelters to make them more adoptable? And how do we retrain newly adopted adolescent and adult dogs? Whereas rehabilitating adult dogs with temperament problems (fearfulness, fighting and biting) can be extremely time consuming, especially the older the dog, behavior and training problems may be resolved at any time in a dog's life. When training begins, good habits begin to replace bad habits. We may need different training techniques (All-or None Reward Training) to get started but otherwise, by and large, treatment protocols are virtually identical to prevention protocols. Moreover, retraining an adult dog is often much quicker than training a young puppy. This is a full agenda and whereas we'll discuss fearfulness and reactivity unfortunately, there will not be sufficient time to discuss dogs that have serious aggression problems and have hospitalized a person or injured a dog to the extent that it requires veterinary treatment. The seminar is suitable for both dog owners and dog professionals.

People gathered to watch as a 30-story apartment tower was demolished in Glasgow, Scotland on Monday.
The Red Rose Apartment buildings were built in the sixties and were once the highest in Europe.
One of the tower blocks was brought down by a controlled explosion on Sunday to make room for a Glasgow Regeneration Project.
Months of planning went into making sure there was no unintended damage when the tower was demolished.

Constitutional Protections
The drug war has quietly encroached on our most deeply valued rights and freedoms. Since the war on drugs began four decades ago, the Supreme Court has sent a consistent message that when it comes to fighting drug crime, personal liberties take a back seat. In most drug-related cases brought before the Court, the majority has favored scaling back constitutional protections, clearing the way for drug policies that infringe on our rights to free speech, religious expression and protection from unreasonable searches. These rulings have essentially created a "drug exception" to the Constitution. Since drug law violations are private acts with no complaining witness, our Fourth Amendment right to protection from unreasonable search and seizure has proven particularly vulnerable to drug war policies. Police now routinely search individuals without cause, raid homes on flimsy evidence, and engage in racial profiling. Countless drug enforcement practices strike at the heart of what the Fourth Amendment is all about, including wiretapping, surveillance, the use of confidential informants, and entrapment. Employers, schools and hospitals may conduct suspicionless drug testing that has dire consequences, and people with drug convictions can be denied voting rights in many states. DPA has made eliminating the "drug exception" to the Constitution a top priority and is working to restore the constitutional protections sacrificed in the name of prohibition.

This girl had 3 falls at the golden west and still scored close to 160. I think that should be enough to win here. Is there a video? I don't even know what she looks like.

Class of 1974
Offensive Tackle-Placekicker >>> 6-3, 240
(Ohio State)
1946-1959, 1961-1967 Cleveland Browns (AAFC/NFL)
Louis Roy Groza. . .Last of "original" Browns to retire. . . Regular offensive tackle, 1947-1959. . .Back injury forced layoff, 1960. . . Kicking specialist only, 1961-1967. . .All-NFL tackle six years. . . NFL Player of Year, 1954. . .In nine Pro Bowls . . .Last-second field goal won 1950 NFL title game. . . Scored 1,608 points in 21 years. . . Played in four AAFC, nine NFL title games. . .Born January 25, 1924, in Martins Ferry, Ohio. . .Died November 29, 2000, at age of 76.
When Lou Groza retired after the 1967 season, it was truly the end of an unforgettable era for the Cleveland Browns. The last remaining member of the original 1946 Browns team, the big offensive tackle and placekicking artist played 21 years, more than any other pro player up to that time.
Many fans remember Groza primarily as a kicker, the first specialist who became so proficient that the Browns started thinking of making field goals, instead of touchdowns, when the going was rough and time was running short. Lou, who was one of pro football's finest offensive tackles, particularly in the middle years of his long tenure, preferred to think of himself first as a tackle who just happened to be the Browns' field-goal kicker because he "had the talent."
Groza was named first- or second-team all-league eight times during his career. In 1954, he was The Sporting News' NFL Player of the Year. Nine times he was named to the Pro Bowl. Six times he was a starting tackle. In 1946, 33-man rosters prevented any team from carrying a specialist, but Groza was almost that, doing all of the kicking and playing on the scrimmage line only occasionally.
Late in his second season, Lou made "the first team" and he didn't give up that cherished status until 1959. He sat out the entire 1960 season with a back injury and then returned in 1961 at the age of 37 for seven more campaigns as a kicker only.
In 21 years, "The Toe," as he quickly became known, tallied 1,608 points and for years ranked as the all-time top scorer. His most dramatic kick came in the 1950 National Football League Championship Game, when his 16-yard field goal in the final seconds gave the Browns a 30-28 victory over the Los Angeles Rams.

BLACKHAWKS 5, ISLES 4 SO 2-0-1 on Road Trip With One to Go
A loss is a loss but some nights the end result which is black and white, doesn't describe the 60-minute game, which has many more shades of grey. The final result tonight is that the Islanders lost in the skills competition — whatever you can glean from that — but the means they used to get there was 65 minutes that they stood toe-to-toe with one of the best teams in the NHL.
Sure, there were defensive breakdowns. The first Blackhawks goal, the Islanders defense retreated while the offensively gifted Blackhawks made tic-tac-toe passes for a beautiful goal. There was also the Hawks' third goal, a shortie from Jon Toews, which was the result of Milan Jurcina having a narcoleptic episode in his own zone.
But the positives far outweighed the negatives and, with a better defense or luck in the "skills" competition the Islanders would have walked out winners. They scored first — Kyle Okposo with another goal is back and hopefully here to stay. They came back from 3-2 and 4-3 deficits by playing an excellent third period. We've seen this team come out flat in the third period too many times the past few years. As they had in the last few games, they came out ready to go and kept the pedal to the floor as was evidenced by how they out shot the Hawks 23(!!) to 7 in the final frame.
The team now has five of a possible six points on this four game road trip and are 2-0-1 with one to go. This team is down, sure. They're still nine points out of 8th in the east. How they've played the last few games there's a different team on the ice than we saw in November. How long this new team stays around will be interesting to see.
The Islanders telecast mentioned that Al Montoya spent nearly $4,000 on tickets to tonight's games for family and friends. Is it weird that it is more than John Tavares paid in a fine last week? Montoya stopped 32-of-36 tonight, a rare under .900 on the statsheet against one of the most offensively gifted teams in the NHL. Two goals I would like to credit to Milan Jurcina's (lack of) defense as mentioned above.
@lombo9: @Schultz88 so I just dialed 1800BIGCUBANO….ummm yeah prob not a # I should've called from my work phone.
Oh and folks, I love to joke around and talk about #1800BigCubano getting the call in net but please, it's not a good idea to actually call the number as one of my Twitter friends learned today. So in conclusion, tweet the meme but don't follow through on the meme. Ok? Cause that's how we break the internet (or rack up questionable phone charges).
Nedermeyer… Err… Neidermater… I mean Niederreiter had a beauty of a goal in the third period. After Marty Reasoner created a turnover in the neutral zone Matt Martin sprung the circling Swiss with a pass, letting Nino get an open look at Corey Crawford. Watch the highlight again. Doesn't it just look like something clicked in Nino as soon as the puck hit his stick? It's was like yes, skating and shooting in open space is exactly what he's programmed to do and he does it very well. He just hasn't had the opportunity to do it all that much lately.
On the other side of the puck, he's had some trouble with defensive assignments thus far but that's not something to worry about at all with a player his age.
Franchise Savior has not scored since November 5th. Matt Moulson's 9th of the season tonight gave him the team lead, one ahead of Franchise Savior. But Tavares played like a man possessed on Tuesday night in Buffalo. He continued such play with two assists tonight in Chicago. With about four minutes to go, Tavares broke into the Blackhawks zone off an up pass from PA Parenteau. With only Niklas Hjalmarsson left to beat, Tavares crossed up the Hawks defenseman and sent him falling to the ice. After skating across the slot and taking a few hacks from other backchecking Hawks, Tavares let a shot go that beat Corey Crawford and would have trickled home for a (potential) game winner if not for a recovered Hjalmarsson shoveling it off the red line.
Someone call Shootout Specialist Rob Schremp, these guys need some help. As much disdain as we may have for the shootout, it still counts for points in the standings some nights. The team is 0-for-5 in extra session games this year, 0-for-2 in shootouts. They have yet to score in overtime or the shootout, where they have failed on all five attempts thus far. Small sample size of course, but at some point things have got to fall their way, right?
As for selection in tonight's shootout, Frans Nielsen is still 55% liftime in the shootout including tonight's miss. That's second best in the league among active players with at least 10 career attempts. You can't go wrong sending him out. Niederreiter, as we saw when he was given space in the above video lecture, is another offensive whiz and guy I don't mind out there. However, sending out Matt Moulson instead of either of his linemates wasn't what I would have expected.
Now THAT'S a third period
Outshooting the opposition 23-7. Outscoring them 2-1 (and probably should/could have been more). The Islanders had one of their best periods of the year in the third after the Hawks asserted pressure in the second.

Prices vary based on delivery destination (it's a tax thing), so please change it if you're not shipping within United States as it might affect the price! (Why?)
Single Malt whisky offers a tremendous level of scope of complexity and character. It is made from nothing other than malted barley, yeast and water, and is distilled in a copper pot still before maturation in oak casks for a minimum of three years and a day. In this 'Other Scotch' category you'll find single malts of unknown, or untold origin. Here you'll find the secret bottlings. The unnamed single malts that often represent their styles so well, without the glory of the distillery bottlings. These unsung heroes offer come with clues as to their origin. Perhaps the bottler will hint at the location of the distillery, for example.
You'll find Gordon and MacPhail's Secret Stills range here, for example. You'll also find the Master of Malt secret bottlings series, with some classic Speyside drams from well-known distilleries. You'll simply have to taste them for yourself to work out where they were distilled!

Radiation induced pulmonary changes can cause serious, even life-threatening problems in patients whose lung function is already compromised by tumor burden and smoking. There are many studies which qualitatively document pulmonary toxicity relative to dosing parameters. The present study attempts to predict quantitative changes in PFTs based on these parameters.
Ninety-six of 185 patients (68% with lung cancer) were prospectively evaluated with PFTs prior to and 6 months following RT. Thirty-four patients received chemotherapy. Criteria for selection included no evidence of intra-thoracic recurrence at follow up. Predicted PFTs were based on the summation of products derived from dose volume histograms (DVHs) and reduced lung volumes. An alternate formula used perfused lung volumes (DFH) instead of total lung volumes. Predicted and measured changes were compared using linear regression. A multivariate analysis on clinical variables including age, tumor site and baseline PFTs was also performed.

Pizza Meatball Slider
- 1-1/2 pounds ground beef, chilled
- 1/2 pound bulk Italian sausage, chilled
- 15 slices pepperoni, finely diced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons jarred or canned pizza sauce, plus more for serving
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 12 slider buns
- Olive oil or softened butter
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, drained and sliced, for serving
- Lettuce or arugula leaves, for serving
Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire cooling rack on top of it. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, put the ground beef, Italian sausage, pepperoni, Parmesan, 3 tablespoons of the pizza sauce, as well as the salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Use your hands to mix; it helps if you wet them with cold water first. Divide the meat mixture into 12 portions and form into balls, rewetting your hands as necessary. Arrange on the rack on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the cut sides of the buns with olive oil or softened butter. When ready to cook, start the Traeger grill on Smoke with the lid open until the fire is established (4 to 5 minutes). Set the temperature to 350 degrees F and preheat for 10 to 15 minutes. Put the baking sheet with the meatballs on the grill grate. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of a meatball is 160 degrees. Grill the buns, cut sides down, until toasty and warm, about 15 minutes. Put a slice of mozzarella cheese on the bottom of each bun. Top with lettuce or arugula, then with a meatball. Spread the cut side of the top of the bun with pizza sauce, if desired, and place on top of the meatball. Serve immediately.

Dear Friends of Katadyn,
After the beautiful outdoor summer, we were able luckily to forget all about the wet and soggy spring. Recent months bestowed many warm and sunny days for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy outside. Weather – at least here in central Europe – was perfect for hiking, biking or just simply relaxing outdoors. Our "Camp Kitchen" with its Katadyn water filters, stoves and accessories by Optimus, and delicious Trek'n Eat meals was used all over the world. We were quite excited to get lots of feedback about it.
With the creative impetus from our wonderful summer, the Katadyn Group is powering into the fall. The heads of our product managers in the Optimus kitchen are smoking with ideas, and already we have two additional kitchen aids ready for use outdoors: the Optimus Burny lighter, and the super lightweight and extra long folding spoon made of titan. It makes eating outdoor meals directly from the pouch much simpler.
Take advantage of these great days to pack up your entire camp kitchen by the Katadyn Group and head into the outdoors!
Have fun!

After Optimus launched numerous new products at the OutDoor Show in Friedrichshafen, we're introducing yet another two items: Lighting your store or campfire, even in wind and rain, won't be a problem anymore with the powerful Optimus Burny lighter. This lighter is refillable from a standard butane refill can or - using an adapter (sold separately) - from your screw valve canister. The new Optimus Folding Ti Long Spoon is a space-saving, foldable spoon made of lightweight titan. It was specially developed to be able to comfortably eat outdoor meals directly out of the pouch, such as those from Trek'n Eat. Both products should make meal prep and mealtimes for outdoor enthusiasts even more pleasant.
Katadyn North America presented our numerous new products from the Optimus family at this year's Outdoor Retailer Show, held Aug. 6- 9 in Salt Lake City, Utah. The new, highly efficient Elektra FE Cook System and the Crux Lite Piezo Gas Stove with separate Piezo ignition were real attractions. Katadyn North America presented for the first time a complete outdoor cooking experience under one roof with water filters by Katadyn, stoves and kitchen accessories from Optimus, and outdoor meals and snacks by AlpineAire. Katadyn North America expanded its product offering the end of 2012 with dehydrated and freeze-dried meals, and is proud to now be able to offer its retailers a complete outdoor cooking and meal lineup.
Katadyn Germany exhibited its camping and RV/caravan product portfolio at the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf from Aug. 31-Sept. 8. With its new program Katadyn Germany has created its very own "German Purity Law". Products from Micropur, certisil, certinox and certiman protect vehicles both inside and out. Thousands of show attendees found out more about what's possible and how the products work and learned firsthand why Katadyn is the right partner not only for purifying drinking water and cleaning water tanks, but also for special cleaners and care products for RV/caravan and boat surfaces. "All of the very thoughtful questions that attendees asked demonstrated that they recognize the importance of proper cleaning and care of water tanks and vehicles," said Steffen Fuchs, marketing for Katadyn Germany. "We were able to establish the significance of our products from certiman, certisil, certinox and micropur in high-quality conversations with attendees and retailers. That was very exciting."
On September 9 and 10, the French town of Lyon was visited by more than 1'500 visitors for the semi-annual Sport Achat Trade Fair. Katadyn France was also on site, presenting the new Optimus stoves and accessories and the ultralite sleeping pads of the US brand Nemo, for which Katadyn France is the distributor. This year, Katadyn France was happy to welcome Light My Fire CEO Callil Odqvist-Jagusch, who spent two days at the booth. Katadyn France has been distributing the Light My Fire brand since many years.
Katadyn with its Polish partner Polana worked together as exhibitors from Sept. 2-4 at one of the three largest and most significant military shows in Europe – the MSPO in Kielce, Poland. MSPO is the leading trade show for central and East European countries for the segments of defense and equipment technology. The presentation of water treatment systems by Katadyn drew high interest from show attendees. A particular draw was the mobile MOT-7 Filter Unit by Katadyn that reliably provides safe and clean drinking water for troops in the field. The demo unit at the booth enabled show visitors in a relaxed atmosphere to filter water with the Katadyn filter and to demonstrate for themselves how simple and effective the system is. Representatives from army units, security forces and even outdoor store operators found the use of solutions presented by Katadyn for military uses and security areas extremely useful.
Aquafides will exhibit with its own booth at the Aquatech show in Amsterdam Nov. 5-8. Aquatech is the leading show globally for trade representatives from the areas of water, process and wastewater technologies. Aquafides has accumulated decades of experience in the UV disinfection, Katadyn filtration and Electro-Katadyn segments. Aquafides has been part of the Katadyn Group since late 2009 as the brand expanded its business into the category of industrial and community water treatment and took over majority ownership of Aquafides Switzerland and Germany. We look forward to your visit at booth number 03.213.
Outdoorseiten.net is the largest German-language forum for outdoor sport and survival, hiking, mountaineering, climbing, paddlesports, travel reporting and photography. Over the summer, editors put various products from Katadyn and Optimus to the test with youthful users. They included the Katadyn Combi water filter, the Optimus Vega gas stove and the Optimus Terra HE cook system. All of the products earned top ratings in testing and were easily operated by the young testers after only a short introduction.
Optimus Vega has again come out as a test winner. The major Outdoor Magazine Retki in Finland tested in a summer issue the Vega alongside a number of strong competitors. The Vega came out with top results and was particularly appreciated for its low weight, low gravity, high stability, quick performance and a versatile flame which can be used with many different sized pots.
As of 2014, Netherlands-based Robijns B.V. will take over distribution of outdoor stove brand Optimus in the Benelux countries. Pre-orders can be placed with Robijns now for Optimus. Robijns represents the brands Katadyn and Trek'n Eat in The Netherlands as well as the brand Optimus in the entire Benelux region. In Belgium and Luxembourg, the distribution of Katadyn filters, Micropur and Trek'n Eat will continue with our longtime partner Elements BVBA.
Robijns B.V. is located in Aalsmeer in The Netherlands. The company was founded in 1915 as a family business, and today is one of the most important distributors for the outdoor and sports industry in the Benelux countries. For years, the dealer has represented premium brands such as Katadyn, Recta and Suunto. Robijns calls itself a "brand-builder" and specializes specifically in independent retailers. With that focus, it has been able in recent years to significantly grow sales of brands it represents. With the Optimus brand, the company hopes to further strengthen its market position. Robijns stresses optimal inventory management systems, efficient logistics and a strong focus on after-sales service. Thus, the approach of the Katadyn Group matches the style of the Dutch dealer. In addition, Robijns has good connections to local media and puts high value on targeted marketing communications.
"We are proud to add the Optimus brand to our portfolio of outdoor products," says Victor Benard, director of Robijns. "Optimus has manufactured quality stoves for more than 110 years and fits perfectly into our current group of premium brands."
Starting immediately, retailers can place their Optimus pre-orders with Robijns. Current sales through 2013, however, will be run by our present partner Jongejans. We would like to take the opportunity to thank Jongejans for the excellent collaboration in the past years.
"We are convinced we have found a partner in Robijns B.V. that can ideally distribute our Optimus brand in the Benelux countries," says Trix Ammann, CEO of Katadyn Products Inc.
UVC low-pressure lamps have proved to be the most efficient light source for water treatment. The lights, which are used in our Aquafides systems, satisfy the highest demands for efficiency, cost effectiveness and lifespan. By the end of the year, the production of these lamps will be relocated from the current site in Germany to the headquarters of the Katadyn Group in Switzerland. That is where final assembly of UV systems now takes place. This step will shorten demands for production transport and make procedures more efficient. The Katadyn Group produces UV lights for its own systems as well as replacement lamps for all well-known brands.
An additional 20,000 Optimus cook systems will be shipped to the Swedish army the end of August. The military stove system has modular construction and consists of a Crux Gas Stove with Piezo ignition, a newly developed windscreen, a spirits stove, cook pots with a capacity of 1.8 fluid liters, cutlery, a fire-resistant and multifunctional cloth, and additional practical cooking accessories. Since most of the components are made of anodized aluminum, the entire set weighs less than 1,100 grams and is stowable in its own small bag. This modular system optimally equips troops for both long- and short-term deployments in both warm and cold climates.
This summer, Katadyn France equipped the French army with 400 manual Survivors 06. The desalinators will be used for aircraft purposes. Katadyn's manual watermakers are intended for emergency use if electrical power is not available. Compact, lightweight, and easy to operate, these units will supply drinking water to help prevent dehydration or even loss of life. The Katadyn Survivor 06 is the smallest hand-operated desalinator in the world. It is recommended for emergency use on liferafts or airplanes or in individual survival kits. Katadyn desalinators are trusted by militaries and individuals around the globe.
On Jan. 1, 2014, Katadyn Germany GmbH will take over the distribution of Klean Kanteen in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy. With this move, Katadyn Germany GmbH will expand its product lineup to include the high-quality water bottles and insulated containers of stainless steel from the U.S. brand. The products by Klean Kanteen, a small family business with headquarters in Chico, Calif., are in particular characterized by no use of BPA and the use of stainless steel as a healthy, safe and particularly environmentally friendly alternative to plastic and coated aluminum water bottles. Klean Kanteen perfectly suits Katadyn's product portfolio and company philosophy regarding health, sustainability and environmental awareness. We are very excited about this additional asset to our product line and look forward to taking advantage of future cooperative synergy. Klean Kanteen has been engaged in the "1% for the Planet" program as a member since 2008 and donates 1 percent of its annual sales to non-profits that are involved in the areas of health and environment. In addition to classic water and sport bottles, the product offering from Klean Kanteen includes baby bottles, insulated mugs, and vacuum-insulated containers for food. Klean Kanteen is the perfect complement to every outdoor kitchen!
"Katadyn – they are my friends!" This from Martin Suhr, the director of international programs for World Vision about his 17 years living in Sambia, Rwanda and Zimbabwe. He and his family as well as his associates relied on water filters from Katadyn for their daily drinking water needs. All over the world, clean water means life and growth; on the other hand, dirty water is tied to illness, disease epidemics and suffering. That's why tools for treating water that are easy to use and reliable are of such high value. Martin Suhr has experience with different types of filters from Katadyn. For four years, he used a model that attached directly to the faucet. After that, he and his team (seven people all together) used a Katadyn Drip filter, where the top part is filled with dirty water and it comes out clean from the bottom.
Katadyn France is proud to have sponsored 4 mountain climbers who realized their dream within the Millet Expedition Project and completed a successful expedition to Mongolia. They started their expedition by following 356 kms of bike paths during 7 days in total autonomy, heading to the base camp of Mount Khuiten (4374 m). They successfully climbed Khuiten in difficult weather conditions. They came back last month and declared : "The total absence of human presence for miles around confirms that we have found what we were looking for: adventure and freedom." They particularly appreciated our reliable Optimus Nova stove that they could use in all weather conditions !
On his expedition to Everest this year, Swiss extreme mountaineer Ueli Steck also had an Optimus Vega in his pack. His opinion is enthusiastic: "The Optimus Vega functioned superbly on Everest. We used the stove in Camp 2 at 6,500 meters. Its performance was perfect! I was very satisfied with the stove. The Optimus Vega is the ideal stove for either base camp or permanent camps. The option of turning over the gas cartridge when you need to is quite brilliant – especially in the morning when it's cold." In the fall, Ueli Steck will head out to Nepal again to take on the south face of Annapurna. Katadyn has supported Ueli Steck since 2009 with products for water treatment, expedition meals by Trek'n Eat, as well as outdoor stoves and stove accessories from Optimus.
The eight women on the first women's expedition team of the DAV (German Alpine Club) have been on their final expedition in India's Satling Valley since the middle of September. There, they want to succeed at various first ascents and climbs. Katadyn Germany supports the young alpinists with Optimus Crux gas stoves, an Optimus Nova multi-fuel stove, cookware from Optimus, freeze-dried meals from Trek'n Eat and Micropur. Click here to read first-hand news of the expedition (in German only).
Thomas Backlund, a Swedish Engineer and computer coder decided about half a year ago to quit his job, move out of his apartment, sell his belongings and move into the Swedish wilderness. The rationale for this major life change was to enable him to work fully on his startup project. Now coding in the forest, he also blogs about his daily life out there. As for any long time venture in the wilderness, the Katadyn Pocket water filter is the solution to cater for daily needs of clean water.
The top long-distance cycle racers in the world came together Aug. 15-18 at the Tortour race in Switzerland. The Tortour has turned into one of the leading ultracycling events in the world in the last 5 years. It covers more than 1,000 kilometers and climbs 14,500 meters all across Switzerland. Taking part was a four-person team, the IG Windschatten ("IG Slipstream") from Lucerne, Switzerland – known among enthusiasts as a spin-off of the Velokurier Luzern ("Bike Messengers Lucerne"). The Katadyn Group supports the dedicated athletes with freeze-dried meals from Trek'n Eat and Optimus (H)EAT Insulation Pouches. "Planning nutrition was for us a very important aspect," said Cyrill Hutter, a member of IG Windschatten. "It was quickly clear that it would be vital to be able to make available day and night a variety of calorie-dense meals to both riders and team assistants. We knew that all participants in this non-stop bike race were going to be pressed by time and, thus, wouldn't have any time left to cook. With these Trek'n Eat meals, our demands were fully satisfied. The preparation proved to be quite simple and quick. Particularly with endurance performance, it's very important to find the right balance of energy supply, digestibility and taste. Riders as well as team assistants really appreciated it to be able to eat a variety of satisfying meals at any time during the race. The nutritional help of Trek'n Eat meals was most certainly a factor that contributed to our team placing a successful 13th in the 2013 Tortour." Congratulations on this stupendous performance!
The starting gun went off July 7 for this year's Swiss Olympic Gigathlon. More than 6,000 male and female participants took part in this huge athletic challenge that includes inline skating, running, swimming, mountain biking and road cycling. Among the participants was Martin Kyburz who is supported by the Katadyn Group with Peronin, which offers complete nutrition for high performance demands. "For me it was quickly clear that Peronin had to be on my competition meal plan," the endurance athlete wrote us. "I rely on Peronin because it offers me extensive and easily digestible meals that offer perfect nutrition in training and competition."
Katadyn Germany GmbH will be buried in moving crates in October 2013. The firm's offices couldn't keep up with its successful business development and what then became tight quarters that demanded compromises. It will however remain true to its location in Mörfelden-Walldorf. Even the telephone and fax numbers will not change.
As of Nov. 1, 2013, the new address will be:
Katadyn Deutschland GmbH
Hessenring 23
D-64546 Mörfelden-Walldorf
The 544-square-meter warehouse plus off-site palettes are a thing of the past. At the new location the company will have three times the space: As of Nov. 1, it will have 1,400 square feet as well as a production area of 200 square feet. New offices will have enough room for all of the current 20 employees.
Due to the move, Katadyn Germany GmbH will not be available from Oct. 30 to Nov. 1, 2013. Please contact us directly during this time with any inquiries or requests for information.
We are looking to the future and continued success.
The middle of August the team from Katadyn North America had a fun and informative day on the St. Croix River north of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Boats were filled to the brim with Katadyn water filters (including the Katadyn Base Camp - which is available in the U.S. only - and the Katadyn MyBottle) and new products from Optimus for 2014. Both the water filters and the new Optimus stoves were fully tested for lunch to prepare various, delicious outdoor meals from AlpineAire. At the end of the day, the product knowledge of each participant was up-to-date. The team is excited to share its newly acquired, much deeper knowledge with retailers and customers.
On Sept. 13, associates at Katadyn Switzerland met up for a big soccer tournament, with Team Production facing off against Team Administration. After two losses in past hockey matches, Production could finally boast victory in the soccer tournament. Administration was beaten with a score of 9:6 after two halves. But the fun chat was the focus both on the field as well as on the sidelines. The following barbeque lent itself to plenty of post-game analysis and camaraderie.
Stefan Staub started on Oct. 1 at Katadyn headquarters in Switzerland as the new accounting manager/group controller. He takes over for Mariastella De Colla, who left Katadyn in the fall to embark on a lengthy world travel adventure – equipped of course with products from the Katadyn Group. We wish Stefan Staub much success and fun at Katadyn.

Buzz: None of The RFAs (including Michael Del Zotto) Are Close
11:27AM: McKenzie adds that a contract like the one Matt Duchene signed, two years and $7 million, are harder to come by now as teams are taking a harder stance against players still developing and rewarding them with big money.
He adds "When the NHL constructed the collective bargaining agreement seven years ago, it thought players coming out of their entry-level deals would be in a tough spot with no arbitration rights. But a lot of precocious third-year players have nevertheless hit the jackpot. Aside from the obvious NHL-NHLPA dispute on how to divvy up revenue, this issue of reining in salaries on entry-level grads is a front-burner for many NHL general managers."
6:44PM: On TSN Bob McKenzie said that none of the high profile restricted free agents like Michael Del Zotto, Evander Kane and Jamie Benn are close to signing new deals with their teams.
McKenzie says that the players would like to sign long term deals but need to decide if they want to sign short term or risk seeing what the new CBA brings

Jefferson County dairy princess Kristia Otey lifted a glass of milk, signaling a room full of farmers, legislators and agriculture advocates to make a toast to dairy cattle that make agriculture here successful.
After the toast, keynote speakers told of how Jefferson County is on the cutting edge of agriculture as part of the countys annual agriculture meeting Friday at the Best Western Carriage House Inn in Watertown.
Cooperation among community leaders here is an example that counties across the state should take notes on, said Paul F. Rick Zimmerman, former deputy commissioner for the state Department of Agriculture and Markets. He said the county does an excellent job making sure the needs of farmers are heard by policymakers who shape legislation. Legislators who also made speeches included state Sen. Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton, Assemblywoman Addie J. Russell, D-Theresa, Assemblyman Kenneth D. Blankenbush, R-Black River and state Agriculture and Markets Commissioner Darrel J. Aubertine.
Speakers discussed the future of agriculture here in New York state, an outlook that gave farmers plenty of hope. Mr. Zimmerman, now the executive director of the Northeast Agriculture and Feed Alliance, challenged farmers and policymakers to be messengers for the agriculture industry. He said consumers will play a pivotal role toward growing the states agriculture industry, and called the strong core of agriculture leaders here a shining example of what needs to happen in counties across the U.S.
Collaboration among farmers, consumers and legislatures will continue to play a leading role in the coming decades, Mr. Zimmerman said, because agriculture in the Northeast will continue to be among the worlds leading regions for dairy products. Within a 10-hour drive is a population of 18 million people, and a ballooning population across the Eastern Seaboard. Lake Ontario has made New York one of the most fertile areas in the country for dairy farms to be located.
What type of role will New Yorks agriculture industry play in 2050? The world population is now about 7 billion people, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Mr. Zimmerman said that figure is expected to climb to 9 billion by 2050. Agriculture here has plenty of room to grow.
We have to have every tool in our toolbox at our disposal to meet that demand, he said. The growth of the middle class demographics will call for more protein in diets, and Chinas economy will continue to grow.
As a result, farmers will continue to be challenged to produce more dairy products, meats, vegetables and fruits. Both organic and genetically produced crops will play an important role, he said, and groups should not favor one method over the other. The states output of soybeans, for example, has expanded by about a million bushels in the past three years.
Its a project thats been subject to disparagement, though, from (food) advocacy groups that are in favor of organic growth because theyre looking out for their own interests in the stock market.
Mr. Zimmerman said agricultures future success here largely relies on the ability of legislators and advocates to bring the message of farmers directly to consumers an area that needs improvement.
One of our greatest challenges is developing the respect and trust of the general public, because its like farmers are on Mars and consumers are on Venus, he said. The better we do at earning the trust of consumers, the better the agriculture industry will be as a whole.
That point was echoed by Patrick M. Hooker, senior director of industrial development for the Empire State Development Corp. Agriculture is now in the limelight in Albany, he said, as Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo provided a venue for stakeholders to discuss legislation at his Greek Yogurt and Wine, Beer and Spirits summits. And the state has funded efforts to start food hubs and slaughterhouses in rural areas, for example, and developed legislation geared toward making dairy operations more efficient.

late night reading and footshifts..
One thing I had not realised before, is that looking closely at the bike in the "staged" Hollister picture, it is clearly fitted with one of those ratchet-shift conversions that were being discussed a little while ago
this one, as ever with old Harleys, appears to be a horse of a very different colour going by the same name http://venturamotorworks.wordpress.com/ ... shift-pan/ from what I can see, it is a ratchet semi-automatic shift-and-clutch actuated by a handlebar trigger. I'm far from clear how this bike would be ridden, from what I can see it is an up-shifter.. ieit changes up, as in drag racing; how you would ride this bike on the road, I'm unclear?
how many more of these things are there? http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Z8l9QhPa6mg/T ... speed1.jpg this one also appears to be a semi-0auto clutch-and-shift, but using a pedal this time

Renee Flemings voice has been heard everywhere from Sesame Street to the worlds most prestigious opera houses. That voice has taken the 1981 SUNY Potsdam graduate all over the globe, earning her four Grammys and a National Medal of Arts.
On Sunday her talents will take her to a football stadium, an unusual stage for an opera singer. There, shell perform before the largest audience shes likely ever to have.
Ms. Fleming will sing the national anthem before Super Bowl XLVIII, which will match the Denver Broncos against the Seattle Seahawks at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. She will be the first opera singer ever to sing the anthem at the Super Bowl. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:25 p.m.
The honor of singing The Star-Spangled Banner usually is reserved for pop stars such as Carrie Underwood (in 2010) and Alicia keys (in 2013).
The big game regularly draws more than 100 million viewers and annually is televisions biggest event. Last year, 108.7 million viewers in the U.S. tuned in to see the Baltimore Ravens play the San Francisco 49ers.
Im absolutely thrilled to be a part of the Super Bowl, and to be entrusted with singing our national anthem in its 200th anniversary year, Ms. Fleming, 54, said in a news release. Im especially happy that the NFL wants to showcase the full scope of American music, and its an honor to add my voice to a tradition that has included great American pop, rock and country singers.
This year also marks the 200th anniversary of the date Francis Scott Key penned Defence of Fort MHenry, the poem that was later be set to music, renamed The Star Spangled Banner, and eventually became the national anthem.
Ms. Fleming, a Rochester native, graduated from SUNY Potsdams Crane School of Music 33 years ago, and those who knew her at that time said her success comes as no surprise.
She was quietly wonderful, said Carol M. Rourke, who lived in the dorm next to Ms. Fleming while they were students. Everybody knew she had a special talent, but she was very humble about it. She was just so good at everything.
Ms. Rourke is now the executive assistant to SUNY Potsdam President Dennis C. Hefner.
In those days Crane didnt have the strong focus on opera that it has now, Ms. Rourke said. Ms. Fleming mostly was known to her fellow students for her jazz singing.
She just seemed to be working hard all the time, Ms. Rourke said.
Ms. Fleming has never allowed her status as an opera singer to pigeonhole her into one type of music. In 2010 she released her album Dark City, covering indie rock songs from bands such as Arcade Fire and Death Cab for Cutie.
I could see Renee Fleming practicing five-plus hours every day. Crane professor James J. Petercsak said.
Mr. Petercsak remembers performing with Ms. Fleming at the Lake Placid Winter Olympics in 1980, when she was still a student. He also recalls a particularly memorable night at the Saranac Lake Winter Carnival during her time at school
It was so cold that even on the second floor, condensation was coming out of her breath, he said. She had her coat on, and she sang like a trooper.
Her Super Bowl performance, he said, provides a unique chance to narrow the divide between high art and popular entertainment.
I think what shes doing, in her own way, is bridging a gap, he said.
Ms. Flemings warm nature has led to her being dubbed The Peoples Diva in the press.
The past few years have seen her move away from major operatic performances toward concerts and other projects.
The future may hold many possibilities for Ms. Fleming after her performance of the anthem on Sunday, but Mr. Petercsak said at heart she likely isnt much different from the young student who spent hours practicing in SUNY Potsdams Hosmer Hall.
When you saw her walking down the street, she was always singing a song, he said.

Amazing sound from such a small radio
I purchased the model one a few months ago and have found myself listening to it more often them my expensive audio components. The radio is great and picks up stations my other radios will not. I can get even greater enjoyment by playing my mp3 player by using a 3.5mm jack which plugs directly into the back of the radio. I was severely injured in a car accident by an intoxicated driver. I am now permanently disabled with a lot of time to listen to this fantastic little radio with great big sound. It is truly a fine example of 21 century technology. My only regret is not being able to purchase a model three but for what you get with the model one you will not be disappointed.

According to Jennifer Lipman, Marketing and Communications Specialist at Conifer, handing the cards out at the conference created immediate buzz. "I wanted to let you know that the cards were a HUGE hit at the conference! Everyone commented that that was such a great give-away," Jennifer said.
And the benefit to Conifer didn't stop there; the brand impact continued well after the show. TisBest's feedback system allowed each recipient to send a note back to Conifer when they made their charity selection. Here are just two of the actual notes received by Conifer through the TisBest "send-a-note" system:
"Great idea Conifer -- much better than a door prize and better use of marketing dollars." --J.L.
"This is a great program. I applaud you for doing this, and I appreciate the breadth of charities to choose from." --N.S.

Hotel Max is a high-end boutique hotel located in a renovated early 1900's building in the heart of downtown Seattle. Hotel Max showcases original works from 39 local Pacific Northwest artists and photographers throughout the lobby, guestrooms and corridors, making it a veritable art gallery in a hotel setting.
The Hotel Max staff was looking for a unique way to engage hotel guests in the hotel's fifth anniversary celebration. "Our guests are successful people and no little gift we might hand out would be very meaningful," said Carolina Pino, the hotel's Director of Sales. She saw the $5 TisBest Charity Gift Card program as a cost effective gift that engaged their high-end guests in a meaningful way. Every Hotel Max guest received a Charity Gift Card at check-in during the hotel's anniversary celebration.
"Guests loved the TisBest card," said Carolina. "The Charity Gift Card, even though it was a modest token of our appreciation, was very well received. People thought it was a fabulous gift, especially because it gave them the option of supporting a charity of their choice." Among the great feedback, one hotel guest wrote, "Thank you, Hotel Max, for allowing me to celebrate your birthday in this way!"
Hotel Max built upon the success of the fifth anniversary program and began offering the "Feel Good Package," which includes a $20 TisBest Charity Gift Card and a tree planted in the guest's name. Hotel Max reports that this package generates a significant number of bookings from guests who are looking at ways to make our world a better place.

At the start of the lesson, students are introduced to philanthropy by reflecting
on ways they or someone they know has shared their time, talent or treasure to create
positive change. Students are amazed to discover many ways they already participate
in philanthropy, such as donating canned food or giving spare change to a person
in need.
The teacher then guides students through making a charitable donation with a TisBest
Charity Gift Card. Students each "spend" a $1.00 charity gift card by choosing a
charity to support in an area of interest to them, such as protecting the rain forest
or endangered species, caring for sick kids, or feeding a hungry family. Through
this hands-on giving experience, students learn that they can make a positive difference
in the world! Charities supported by student donations receive 100% of the funds
from each TisBest Charity Gift Card.
Following the charity gift card activity, students participate in literacy-focused
enrichment activities, each adhering to a Common Core standard. The activities encourage
students to think beyond their $1.00 charity gift card and identify concrete ways
they can continue to make a positive difference in the word around them.

By participating in the DiscoverGiving program, students engage in activities designed
to boost their
levels of happiness and satisfaction and enhance the prosocial behaviors of generosity and compassionate
When K-12 students engage in service learning activities in the classroom, they demonstrate
an increased capacity for learning, a decline in absenteeism, and a stronger connection to their school. Significant health
benefits have been recorded in children who participate in generous behavior including a reduced risk of substance
abuse, depression and suicide in adolescents. Studies of fMRI scans show that giving
to charity relates to increased activity in areas of the brain associated with pleasure,
social connection and trust. Altruism has also been shown to be contagious.
When students give they create a ripple effect of generosity in their school community!

It may not seem like much, a single dollar can accomplish quite a lot. During the
lesson, students are given examples of how far a dollar can go to support a charity's
mission, helping them to understand the true value of their donation. Plus, the
enrichment activities included in the DiscoverGiving Kit encourage students to reflect
on how it felt to make a difference and helps them identify new ways to impact the
world, empowering each child to become a lifelong world-changer!
Charities supported by student donations receive 100% of the funds from each $1.00
TisBest Charity Gift Card. Together the dollars in a classroom can have an even
bigger impact. A classroom with 25 students will spend $25 benefitting a wide range
of charitable organizations. Multiplying that times 1,000 DiscoverGiving classrooms
means $25,000 in charitable donations to important causes. Together, DiscoverGiving
students can make a significant financial impact within the nonprofit community
and make the world a better place.

The old name is gone for the former vacant mini-mall underneath Stream International.
And the refurbished retail area known for years as City Center Plaza is nearly full of businesses.
Members of Advantage Watertown, a group of business leaders who meet monthly to talk about city and downtown issues, on Thursday got a first look at the renovated mini-mall, which had sat idle for years.
Owner Brian H. Murray has turned it into a cluster of businesses.
It looks great, Advantage Watertown member Scott C. St. Joseph said.
Last year, Mr. Murray purchased the bottom half of the Stream building, 146 Arsenal St. He acquired 41,000 square feet of space for $2.1 million from GEJ Watertown LLC, a Tarrytown company that had owned the 3.69-acre site since 1994. An F.W. Woolworth store was the main tenant until it closed in 1997. The space includes an exterior facing strip plaza and an indoor mini-mall.
To eliminate confusion with a commercial development that contains the Hilton Garden Inn on Arsenal Street with the same name, Mr. Murray has decided it now will be called Top of the Square. An adjacent small retail center that he has long owned, where Ruyi Asian Fusion restaurant is situated, is called that now.
Its all going to have the same name, he said. The mall, the shopping center and the plaza, theyll all be called Top of the Square.
They all share the same parking lot, he noted.
Jiu Jitsu Nation, a mixed martial arts school, and Rhondas FooteWorks, a dance studio formerly in the Lincoln Building on Public Square, also are tenants. The BeyondNerd electronics store moved from its storefront location in the strip plaza into new space in the mini-mall.
And three people are opening a fitness business there. That space still is undergoing renovations and should open in about six weeks, Mr. Murray said. Several offices also are occupied. Pro Metric, a proctor testing company, will move in soon as well, Mr. Murray said.
The strip plaza, visible from both Court and Arsenal streets, contains a Family Dollar store, Carthage Savings & Loan, Papa Johns Pizza shop and New York Fashions clothing boutique. The bank underwent extensive interior and exterior remodeling and the womens clothing store got an upgrade during the project. The buildings facade also received sprucing up.
The project included replacing flooring and ceilings, adding more windows for the retail space, installing new indoor and outdoor lighting and improving the Arsenal Street side entrance.
The main entrance on the Court Street side got a major overhaul. It now includes a bike rack for the many teens expected to come to the game shop and dance studio, he said.
The mall wing also features a mural of a replica of an artwork in Paris. It was created by Henderson artist Garrett McCarthy.
Mr. Murray was unable to provide a dollar figure on all the renovations, saying he did not have that information because it was completed in stages.
Its been an extensive project, but were excited, he said.
Its anchor store, BeyondNerd electronics, reduced its space from the storefront it leased in the strip mall, but has added a number of services. A video and audio recording studio will open there soon.
The business sells comic books and board and video games, offers Web design and IT repairs and hosts gaming tournaments. With the move, its pay and play gaming lounge, featuring TV monitors and comfortable chains and couches, is larger, CEO Christopher L. Dillon said.
Its a better layout for us, he said.
Since her move from the Lincoln Building on Public Square, Rhonda M. Foote said, enrollment in the dance studio has increased because she has more space, featuring a larger studio and a second room where classes are held for soloists and younger dancers.
The kids love it here, she said.
The top floor and the parking lots are owned by the Jefferson County Industrial Development Agency. The agency leases the upstairs space to Stream. When Stream moved there in 2002, the building and property were subdivided.

My favorite happening so far is detailed here.
The network won't actually show the race until tonight, of course, when everyone knows the results (which most people now do, because the NBC TV network may be the only news organization on the planet that hasn't reported them).
Anyway, thanks to Deadspin, we now know that our outrage is shared not only by the folks who keep emailing us to scream in solidarity, but by the US ski team.
US skier Jake Zamansky ridiculed the coverage on Twitter, and NBC's web site automatically posted the tweet to NBCOlympics.com:

U.S. wireless carriers and the Federal Communications Commission have joined together to create a national database that locks stolen cellphones out of carrier networks.
Smartphones and other mobile devices are so easy to snatch. They're small and portable. They're worth a lot of money. They're easy to pirate with just a swap of a SIM card. The FCC's database of stolen phones is designed to limit theft to the plastic and electronics and not the information contained inside.
The database works by blocking a stolen cellphone's IMEI number, making it impossible to get service for that phone. AT&T and T-Mobile have teamed up, and their joint database is online now. Verizon and Sprint are supposed to have their joint effort up and running soon. In the next year, the four major carriers are planning to merge their databases. Smaller carriers will join in along the way.
Eventually the FCC and the U.S. carriers will expand the database to cell providers all over the world. "The goal is to not only protect the consumer by cancelling the service, but by ultimately protecting the consumer by drying up the aftermarket for stolen phones," said CTIA Vice President of Regulatory Affairs Chris Guttman-McCabe.
While we can't stop ourselves from leaving our phones in the coffee shop or having it picked out our pocket, there are things we can do to protect our privacy. Use PINs or passwords, and make sure you know how to use your phone's remote-wiping capabilities. It might seem like closing the barn door after the horse has left, but at least a thief has only stolen your high-buck smartphone and not your identity.

City planners will take another crack at the controversial zoning change pertaining to roommates.
As requested by Mayor Jeffrey E. Graham, the Planning Board will take up changes Tuesday that he proposed regarding the so-called roommate law. Last month, the mayor asked board members to revisit the zoning change following a torrent of criticism from people who believed city leaders were trying to regulate lifestyles and living arrangements.
The issue first came before the Planning Board in January after a homeowner, Deborah A. Cavallario, 259 Thompson Blvd., complained that her neighbor was living with his fiancee and two friends in the neighborhood of single-family houses that is zoned as a Residential A district. Mrs. Cavallario complained about the number of vehicles parked on Travis W. Hartmans property. Since then, he married his fiancee.
In a 6-1 vote, the board removed language pertaining to roomers. In February, the City Council passed it, with Mayor Graham and Councilwoman Teresa R. Macaluso opposing it.
Supporters defended the change, contending the media blew the issue out of proportion. They also argued they were trying to protect Residential A districts from boarding and rooming houses. But the issue became a public relations problem that brought dozens of people to council meetings and elicited widespread criticism on social media platforms.
To quell the controversy, the mayor last month suggested restoring a sentence council members removed that allowed no more than four transient roomers and applied to accessory uses in residential districts.
After taking up the matter again during Aprils meeting, the Planning Board seemed to be moving toward modifying the law.
Were going to look at all the suggestions and make a decision based on the facts, not emotions, Planning Board member Lawrence J. Coburn said. Well see how it all shakes out.
The board could vote on the mayors ideas on Tuesday. Mr. Graham, Mr. Coburn and Kenneth A. Mix, the citys planning and community development coordinator, did not want to predict Thursday what might happen.
In addition to putting that language back in the citys zoning code, Mr. Graham suggested looking at another section pertaining to the definition of family. He has proposed keeping language that would allow any number of individuals living together as a single housekeeping unit. But he suggested removing the following language: to distinguish it from a club, fraternity, or boardinghouse, not more than four members of a family shall be other than blood relatives.
The Planning Board will meet at 3 p.m. Tuesday in the third-floor council chambers in City Hall, 245 Washington St.

As I stood in the Price Cemetery on Friday evening I watched as the finishing touches were put on a project that had begun, in concept, two years ago.
After a walk through that same cemetery in 2008 I started to realize that for many, Memorial Day had really lost its meaning. So many graves with beautiful decorations were outnumbered by those that had no decorations at all.
When I was a kid my parents had taken me every Memorial Day to it seemed every grave yard in the Salt Lake Valley. But those trips with my parents to long lost relatives resting spots is still a vivid memory and a good one despite at the time I was probably a real pain in the neck to drag along.
I remember my dad telling me about the various relatives who were buried there. Then I began to explore further and found that real history was right there among the grass of each and every place we went. That started an interest in those that have passed that I never have lost.
So it was right after that walk in the Price Cemetery that I started to think about how we could honor each and every one of the people buried there and in other plots around the county as well. Afterall, couldn't we take a few moments to honor each of those that were the founders, residents and working people who built our community; the ones whose shoulders we stand on every day we live here?
I started to talk to people about the project, and most were very positive. But I also met a good deal of skepticism about how any such project would work. Some suggested just a civilian kind of ceremony at each graveyard in the week before Memorial Day and a group of flowers placed at some central spot. Others just thought that we should spend any time we have on the living and not worry about the dead. Opinions ran the gamut.
But enough people encouraged me to pursue the idea that I felt pretty good about it. I am one of those people that when I get the idea something is going to be one way, it is hard to change my mind. So with the tenacity of a bulldog - and largely the brain to go with that kind of an animal - I and my poor staff, who I convinced this was a good idea, began to work on the plans for No Grave Unadorned.
It started out that we thought we might be able to use real flowers, but the cost, even with the offered help of all the florists in the area, was prohibitive. Then we looked at making paper flowers, which of course would entail getting a lot more volunteers with more commitment, but with much less cost. Unfortunately, we found after some testing that paper would fall apart very quickly in the wind, and certainly in the rain or when sprinklers came on.
So Jenni Fasselin, our sales manager came up with the idea of making the flowers from plastic disposable table cloths. The cost would be higher than paper, but still very manageable, especially with contributions from local people.
Then it began slowly. First Susan Jackson in Carbonville began making flowers for us, finally completing over a thousand of the colorful adornments. Then came other individuals and groups, so many I can't name them in this column. The contributions also flowed in. Some businesses donated hundreds of dollars. Some individuals went out and bought their own supplies. One group even made many of their flowers at their own cost and then placed them on graves in their local cemetery as well.
The fact is, even if we never did this again, this was a momentus time. Over a thousand people, that we know of, were involved. It was a tremendous outpouring of pride and caring that is hard to find in any community today.
It just proves to me, that when I moved here almost 20 years ago, I picked the absolute right place to live.

Hollywood heads are always seeking improvement, so it's no surprise to see they've done a little renovating on the latest runway beauty trends. While simple center parts were showcased at places like Fendi (with natural, undone hair), Versace (with curled ends, very late 60's sex kitten), and Michael Kors (with super straight, blunt ends), we've noticed that this look has been upgraded for the red carpet. The new development is subtle but sweet, just pin back a few face-framing pieces to get this semi half-up/half-down 'do.
Mary Kate Olsen is a long time devotee of this hardworking hippie style ("hardworking" because it's a little practiced for the true, natural hippie spirit), but she was most recently seen with her hair this way in late summer when promoting the new season of Weeds. While Olsen chose to wear her hair this way during the day, the looks lends itself to nighttime events as well. Heidi Klum and Kerry Washington wore variations of to the Accessories Council's annual ACE Awards last week. Klum chose to twist the pulled back parts of her hair while Washington simply pinned her already wavy locks. We also dig the California bohemian way Rachel Zoe wore her hair for a Calvin Klein dinner during New York's Fashion Week.
