Fusion Drive: Apple (AAPL) new iMac comes with 'Fusion Drive,' combining flash, hard drive storage
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Apple on Tuesday unveiled a smaller iPad, dubbed the iPad mini, at a highly anticipated event in San Jose, Calif.
The device, which has a 7.9-inch screen, is one-third smaller than than its 10-inch cousin and weighs less than a pound. It's also 23% thinner than the full-sized iPad. The pre-order date is October 26th. The release date is November 2nd. The iPad mini starts at $329.
Apple also unveiled a slightly updated fourth-generation traditional iPad with a new, twice-as-fast processor and U.S. 4G-LTE coverage provided by Sprint, in addition to Verizon and AT&T.
The new iPad comes with the Apple's Lightning connector. Previous versions featured the significantly larger 30-pin connector that Apple has used since 2003.
Apple's current iPad lineup starts at $399 for the year-old iPad 2 and $499 for the fourth-generation iPad.
Shares of Apple were down about 1% during the event.
Since the iPad debuted in 2010, no tablet challenger has come close to unseating it. Apple held a 70% share of the tablet market in the second quarter, according to the latest data from IHS iSuppli.
Amazon's Kindle Fire HD and Google's Nexus 7 both come with seven-inch screens and $199 price tags. Though they haven't threatened the iPad's dominance in the tablet market, they have sold well enough to get Apple's attention.
Apple could potentially stomp out the competition with a lower-cost, smaller tablet of its own. It's an idea the company has toyed with for several years.
Among the many internal documents made public in Apple's patent battle with Samsung was a January 2011 e-mail from Eddy Cue, Apple's head of software and services, in which he told management: "I believe there will be a 7-inch market and we should do one."
Jobs seemed "receptive" to the idea, he said.
That marked a turnaround from Jobs' initial stance. Apple's chief visionary famously trashed seven-inch tablets, calling them so small, they should include sandpaper, "so that the user can sand down their fingers to around one quarter of the present size."
Ahead of the announcement, Wall Street analysts predicted that the iPad mini would keep small tablet competitors at bay. Even if the iPad mini is slightly pricier, industry analysts expect that it will vastly outsell its rivals.
"The iPad mini is the competitions' worst nightmare," said Shaw Wu, analyst at Sterne Agee. "Competitors are already having a tough time competing against the $399 iPad 2 and $499 iPad, and we believe lower price point iPads will make it even more difficult."
The announcement comes ahead of another big tablet launch this week: Microsoft will be releasing its Surface tablet on Oct. 26 -- the first tablet of its own design.
Macintosh: Before showing off the iPad mini, the company also unveiled a new lineup of Macintosh computers, including a 20% thinner and one-pound lighter 13-inch MacBook Pro with a Retina display. The company also updated the $599 Mac Mini.
The most impressive new Mac is the iMac all-in-one computer, which comes with a 45% thinner display and is a remarkable 80% thinner at the edge. That makes the computer eight pounds lighter.
The new iMac has an option for a new "Fusion Drive," which combines flash and hard drive storage for faster reading and writing. It's scheduled to begin shipping in November.
Apple also introduced a new iBooks app for the iPad and iPhone, with continuous scrolling (no more "flipping" through pages), and new sharing options.

A Buffalo firm has been hired to conduct a $48,000 feasibility study that will explore the idea of merging Potsdam Central and Canton central school districts.
The Canton school board last week approved a proposal submitted by Western New York Educational Services, based at the University of Buffalo.
The Potsdam school board is expected to approve the contract at its meeting tonight.
The two districts will split the $48,000 cost. The expense will be covered by state efficiency funding secured by state senators Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton, and Joseph A. Griffo, R-Rome. The next step is for the two boards to meet with the study consultant.
They want to have a meeting with both boards to explain the process and hear our expectations, said Canton School Board President Barbara B. Beekman.
The year-long study will involve collecting data from both school districts related to enrollment projections, staffing levels, programs and building use plans.
A plan for education programs and curricula, a transportation plan and fiscal impacts of the reorganization will be part of the research.
Mrs. Beekman said the study results will be submitted to the state Education Department in June before theyre released to local school officials and the public.
Potsdam Superintendent Patrick H. Brady said an official from the state will review the study to make sure it complies with the law for mergers.
It is normal procedure for state Ed to receive the feasibility study prior to releasing it to the public, Mr. Brady said.
Hit hard by state funding cuts in the past several years, both Potsdam and Canton school boards agreed in July to launch a study that would outline the benefits and challenges of combining the two districts.
A decision whether to merge ultimately would be determined by voters in both communities through public referendums.
Over the past four years, Canton Central lost $7.3 million through the states gap elimination adjustments and cut 56 teaching and staff jobs.
Potsdam Central has lost $7.7 million in gap eliminations and has eliminated roughly 40 jobs.

|Barefoot Takes Over At ODU
|Written by Mike Kelly
|Friday, 10 June 2011 12:19
Karen Barefoot is leaving Elon University and returning to Old Dominian.Barefoot, who led the Phoenix to a 20-win season last year (20-13), the first 20-win season in school history, has turned in her resignation. She heading back to ODU, where she was an assistant coach for three years before taking the Elon job.
Barefoot replaces Wendy Larry, who is stepping down after 25 years at ODU. Larry led the Monarchs to 559 wins, 20 NCAA tournament appearances and to 17 consecutive Colonial Athletic Association championships (1992-2008). She also guided ODU to the NCAA championship game in 1997.
But despite being a young coach, Barefoot put together an impressive resume of her own at Elon. She led the Phoenix to their first ever Division I postseason appearance last season and a victory against USC-Upstate in the opening round of the Women's National Invitational Tournament.
In three years with the Phoenix, Barefoot was 37-58, which includes a 20-40 record in the Southern Conference.

Buzz: The Rangers Are Trying Very Hard To Get Michael Del Zotto Under Contract
In the NY Post, Larry Brooks writes that the Rangers and representatives for Michael Del Zotto are not that close on a new contract.
Del Zotto, an RFA, is reportedly getting an offer of between $2.2 and $2.5 million from the Rangers.
Brooks writes that there is pressure on Del Zotto to sign before the CBA expires as there could be less money for the Rangers to give Del Zotto.
Del Zotto had a cap hit of $1.087 million on his entry level deal.

If a project talked about in recent weeks is green-lighted, Grassy Trail Reservoir may be replaced by a newer reservoir.
A possible plan in the works could have a new reservoir built in the areas near Sunnyside and East Carbon City. The project would not only include the building of a new reservoir but the impact of the project could also extend the life of West Ridge Mine.
This project was a topic of discussion during the Sunnyside city council meeting on Tuesday night.
UtahAmerican Energy Inc. has been in discussions with local municipalities about redirecting Grassy Trail creek to a new location where a reservoir would be built. One of the reasons behind it is because of an opportunity to extend the life of West Ridge Mine by 18 months to two years, according to Doug Parsons, Sunnyside City mayor. If nothing was done the mine would have about two years of mining left.
UtahAmerican is seeing if it is feasible to move Grassy Trail creek from its present location to a couple of different areas they have looked at. One of the areas that has been discussed is Little Bear Canyon which sits on school trust lands.
If the land is acquired from the school trust, then UtahAmerican would deed the property over to both Sunnyside and East Carbon City. Sunnyside City, Sunnyside Co-Generation and East Carbon City have all been involved in the project, Parsons said.
Four boar holes have been drilled in Little Bear Canyon to make sure that there is no fractures in the ground so it can be prepared for a dam site. The road crossing through Sunnyside LLC leading up to Little Bear is classified as a County Class D road.
Parsons said Carbon County has already agreed to give UtahAmerican a right-of-way for a pipeline that would go from Grassy Trail Reservoir to the new site. The financing for the project will all come from UtahAmerican at a cost of about $15 million, Parsons said.
If the new reservoir is created, no changes would be done to the current water treatment plant, noted Parsons.
Currently Grassy Trail Reservoir has about 800 square acres of capacity. If the reservoir is built the capacity would be increased to about 1,000 square acres.
"I think it (the new reservoir) would be a good plus for the cities and the power plant," said Parsons.
Sunnyside Co-Generation had some questions about the project, Parsons said, most of which had to do with water rights, diversions and related issues.
The time line for the project states that it must be done within two years, Parsons said.
"Hopefully everything will go good and we'll have a new reservoir," stated Parsons.
The current reservoir is not without problems. There have been issues with silt in the water and the reservoir was not built up to the required code.
All of those involved in the project are hopeful that it will be considered a "win/win" situation for the communities of East Carbon, Sunnyside and other water users including Sunnyside Co-Generation plant and UtahAmerican.
City councilors and UtahAmerican are in agreement that the current reservoir is in need of repairs. UtahAmerican and the local area would stand to gain from the project as UtahAmerican would increase the recovery of coal reserves in the vicinity near the reservoir and the area would benefit from the possible increase in job opportunities.
UtahAmerican Energy, Inc. is a Utah corporation which through its subsidiary West Ridge Resources, Inc. operates the West Ridge mine. UtahAmerican Energy, Inc. is also developing the Lila Canyon mine located in Emery County which was scheduled to be in commercial production starting last year. The Lila Canyon coal will be a high quality steaming and PCI coal. UtahAmerican Energy, Inc. is a subsidiary of Murray Energy Corporation, the largest privately owned coal company in America. Producing approximately 30 million annual tons of bituminous coal from mines located in Utah, Illinois, Kentucky, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Ohio that provide affordable energy to households and businesses across the country and to international consumers, according to the company's website.
The Sunnyside city council is hoping that by February more information about the feasibility study will be known.

In the opinion column written by Robyn Blumner and published in the Salt Lake Tribune on Jan. 23 she stated, "It wasn't well known until recently that President Bush has been issuing his own interpretation of the bills he signs. Rather than veto the bills, which is his right, Bush has simply usurped Congress' authority and declared that the Executive Branch will ignore parts of the new laws - about 500 parts so far."
If you didn't understand that, read it again and again until you do. What he is saying is that everyone in this country is expected, even bound, to obey the laws of the land except him.
I realize that I live in the reddest state of the country, and that Bush's approval rating is still higher here - Utah - than anywhere else, therefore most people will not agree with me. They will call me a Democrat, or worse.
I am actually something we all should be, a civil libertarian.
This administration keeps encroaching on our rights in the name of the "war on terrorism". People say that this "war on terrorism" is working because we have not been attacked since 9-11. I believe that when the terrorists feel that the time is right, they could easily launch another attack on our soil at will because the government has misdirected resources and manpower to issues other than actually stopping the terrorists, the war in Iraq, etc.
If we allow King George Bush to continue to usurp Congress' authority and write his own law and ignore the laws already in place, we deserve no better than what we will get.
As a great American said over two hundred years ago: "Those who are willing to give up liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security".

'You cannot tell when and where the avalanche might occur'
This is Part 1 of a 3-Part Series Avalanches in Oregon
CORVALLIS, Ore. - Avalanches killed 35 people last year in the United States.
So far this winter, 11 skiers, snowboarders and snowmobilers have died in avalanches in the U.S.
To appreciate the power of these deadly forces of nature, it's important to understand how they happen.
"You can't tell, by looking at the surface, you cannot tell when and where the avalanche might occur," said Anne Nolin, an Oregon State University professor considered an expert on snowpack - and avalanches.
She said avalanches are caused by two types of snow: dry and wet.
"A dry snow avalanche sometimes is what we call a slab avalanche, which will start because of weaknesses in the snowpack," Nolin said.
Wet snow avalanches "usually happen in the spring when you've got melting snow. You usually see them later in the afternoon."
The anatomy of an avalanche all depends on the season and location.
But it's the slab or dry snow avalanches that are especially deadly.
"The slab avalanches are very fast moving and they can become airborne," Nolin said, "and those are really dangerous."
Steep slopes are where most avalanches occur. Add fresh snow and wind and the scene is set for danger.
"It's the slopes that are between 35 to 50 degrees," Nolin said.
Another factor: the amount of fresh snow that falls in a 24-hour period.
"It's the layer above the weakly bonded layer that's the thing that's going to slide," Nolin said.
Wind is also a key ingredient.
"The leeward side of the ridges where the wind blows the snow and it accumulates into these big cornices, you might see some of those break off and you might see some development of slab avalanches," Nolin said.
Most avalanches happen in the backcountry areas that are rarely visited.
They can be triggered naturally - or by humans.
"Whether it's you skiing, or snowshoeing or maybe snowmobiling," Nolin said.
And while they aren't extremely common in Oregon, Nolin said they do happen.
"Just because you don't hear about them," she said, "doesn't mean we don't have them."

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate reporter
It was a blink of an eye and the focus of the country changed from Minnesota to our own back yard. Unlike the unbelievable event back east, for us this is more like deja vu. We have been here before.
For our community this is painfully familiar. Everyone's lives are intertwined with the mining industry, even those of us who do not have any immediate family employed in the mines.
For all of us this is personal. Right now the majority of people I have spoke to want to keep the focus on the six men who are underground and the rescue efforts involved and not about the fault of who may be responsible.
Many have feelings about what happened and in the end the causes and blame may divide our loyalties, but for now it is not the time to point fingers and assign blame.
Even as the story unfolds our lives go on. We still have to mow our lawns, buy groceries and go to work each day. We just don't do those things without our thoughts staying a bit in the middle of the rescue.
So how do we help. In some ways, the best way is to continue to do what we always do. Keeping our community and families functioning so those who are trained and knowledgeable can focus on what they have to do.
We are blessed to have so many, so close, that are so well trained in underground rescue. Just last week teams from all over the west converged at the College of Eastern Utah for the annual mine rescue competition. The local teams were among the top teams, as always.
These men train year round, not for the yearly competition, but to be ready for just the event that unfolded early one morning last week. In this mining region, mine rescue is more than a theory, but a reality waiting to happen. Those that choose to be on these teams know that when they are needed they will have to enter into situations even more dangerous than their standard day to day risks during their employment in a coal mine.
For the many who volunteer their time to be part of their mine's rescue team, I applaud you. I also hope that most of you will never have to use your skills in an actual scenario. For every rescue there is a victim.
For our community, we are still reeling from last summer's flash flood tragedy that resulted in the deaths of two small children. We came together through that even as most of us didn't personally know the family.
We are here together again in support of each and every miner and their families that are involved. When hopes and prayers are all we have to offer right now, this community will exceed all that is expected.

Prodigal Sons
In this impressive personal documentary, filmmaker Kimberly Reed attempts to reconcile with her long-estranged brother Marc, with whom she's been a rival since childhood. Their paths diverged long ago: Marc was permanently debilitated in a car accident, while Kim left their small-town roots on a journey of self-discovery. Full of twists and turns involving Hollywood royalty and sexual and gender identities, high school reunions in Montana and family reunions in Croatia, Prodigal Sons sensitively examines family bonds and questions if we can ever truly reinvent ourselves.

Interview with Saybrook Creativity Studies Student Diana Rivera
Diana Rivera is a third year student in the Masters to Ph.D Creativity Studies program at Saybrook University. She is currently working on her Master's Thesis.
Tell us a little about your background.
I am a performing artist with extensive training and professional experience in acting, writing and producing for theatre. I wrote and produced shows while I lived in San Francisco. I also use to produce visual art and entertainments events (film festivals, award programs, exhibits). At this point, I do a lot of creative writing--children's stories, scripts for TV and film concepts that I may or may not produce in the future. I love to create collage art. Professionally, I also provide professional development coaching to creative professionals.
What made you decide to apply to the Creativity Studies program at Saybrook University?
I came to Saybrook University to advance my understanding of psychology and creativity, become acquainted with research, and work with Dr. Steven Pritzker and Dr. Ruth Richards.
What do you plan to do with the knowledge and experience you're getting in the program?
I would like to make the conversation regarding creativity and the nature of imagination more relevant in the fields of education, psychology and corporate America. I plan to see more clients, develop more curriculum, and produce popular books that share what I've learned in a way that is conducive to personal and social transformation. I am ambitious...I guess that's why I pursue higher education.
You sound like you see creativity as a mission.
I do. Let's imagine a world where our imagination is never applied. Would that be a world you would like to live in? For me, no way. That is why it is the basis for my academic inquiry. I could share with you data on evolutionary, biological, psychological, educational and clinical theories, yet at the end of the day, there is something quite simple about it. Humanity thrives in creativity, and needs it in order to survive.
Any particular areas of creativity that you've been particularly interested in?
I am interested on flow and blocks to creative process, the state of work-life balance for creative professionals, the lives of artists, as well as the arts impact on innovation and economy. I am also interested in the origin and function of imagination, the multiple dimensions of self in personality, and their pertinence to mental health.
What is the subject of your Master's thesis on?
My MA thesis is on the impact of recession on female creative professionals in Los Angeles. I have interviewed six women from one of the major creative guilds in town, including the SAG-AFTRA, WGA, DGA.
What do you do for fun?
I am fascinated with mime artists, the history of cabaret, the collage art of Joseph Cornell, and old coins. Going to vintage fairs and finding unique artifacts is also inspiring to my creative perceptivity.

Thursday, February 21, 2013
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Looking to become the best women's indoor track and field team in Lipscomb history, the Lady Bisons are set to compete in the Atlantic Sun Conference Championships starting on Friday and concluding Saturday in Johnson City, Tenn. Hosted by ETSU, the championship meet takes place at the David E. Walker Track at Gentry Field.
"Our expectations are to be the best women's team we've ever had," Bill Taylor, director of cross country and track and field, said. "We write the most points we have scored in the past, what is the highest finish we have had and try to beat those."
Having a weekend off before the meet, Lipscomb should be ready to compete at the highest level.
"This week has been our hardest training week thus far," Taylor said. "From an injury perspective we are good. We may have to make some adjustments for sickness but I am confident that they will be healthy."
Junior Dani Walker has had some stellar moments throughout the season. She has the top time in the mile, ranks third in the 800m and ranks seventh in the 3000m. She is also a member for the distance medley relay team that holds down the second spot in the A-Sun.
A time of 4:45.33 places Walker more than two seconds ahead of the competition in the mile on the A-Sun performance list, a time she set in the Invitational Mile at the Hoosiers Hills Invite.
"I don't think there is a limit for her," Taylor said. "She was able to run 4:45 without any competition and that kind of gives an idea of what she is capable of. Everything she is doing is based on early season training which is not meant to manipulate performances which means she is only going to get faster."
With a strength and depth with distance runners, Lipscomb has several athletes at the top of the performance charts leading into the meet.
The 3000m has three Lady Bisons in the top five and seven runners in the top ten. Sophomore Maggie Lawrence leads the group with a time of 9:57.88 with sophomore Minna Fields and Emily Longden filling in right behind in the fourth and fifth spots.
Sophomore Alex Newby has clocked in the top time in the 5000m in the A-Sun with a time of 18:09 at the TSU Invite.
"Track is a great sport to be able to micro analyze everything and fix weaknesses," Taylor said. "We want to have the most success we have ever had both as a team and as a distance squad. We will be far better by the end of the outdoor season."
Other top performers from Lipscomb include sophomore Brenna Thompson in the 400m as she has the sixth top-time at 57.98 seconds. Sophomore April Terry ranks second in the shot put with a toss of 13.42 meters. She also sits ninth in the weight throw with a heave of 15.37 meters.
Looking for success, Taylor is excited to see the improvements and results.
"It will be fun to watch the team unite together," Taylor said. "A lot of the events will be fun to see how they come together and how everyone performs."

SANTA FE — Straight off the heels of its biggest game of the season, the Los Alamos Hilltopper boys basketball team had a shot at getting a share of the early District 2AAAA lead.
Instead, the Hilltoppers again struggled to find their offensive rhythm and dropped its second district contest of the season.
Orland Echave, Santa Fe's bull-like 6-foot-5 center, dropped in 23 points on the offensive end of the floor and stymied the Hilltoppers' attempts to get inside on the other end as the Demons topped the Hilltoppers 51-38 at Toby Roybal Memorial Gymnasium.
The Demons, whom Los Alamos head coach Matt King said could be a legitimate threat to win a 2AAAA title this season, dropped their district opener at Española Valley 62-61, a game that the Demons led until the waning seconds.
But Santa Fe, on the shoulders of Echave's big night, controlled Saturday night's contest throughout.
Los Alamos (5-15 overall, 1-1 in 2AAAA) had some chances to score easy buckets Saturday, but rushed or short-armed several shots from the baseline. Los Alamos converted on 15 of 36 chances from the floor.

I have suffered from asthma and chronic sinusitis for years. I cannot begin to tell you how many allergists and ENT specialists I have seen over the years. No one has been able to help me as much as Dr. Lee has. After a thorough history and exam, he told me that he felt that my sinusitis was the primary problem and that asthma was flared because of uncontrolled sinusitis. I started his nasal regimen and started on allergy shots. Within 1 year, my sinuses cleared significantly but more importantly, my asthma was finally well controlled. Thank you very much Dr. Lee!

Financial Assurance for Hazardous Waste Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facilities (TSDFs)
What is RCRA Financial Assurance? | EPA's October 2006 Plan for the RCRA Financial Assurance Program
What is RCRA financial assurance and who needs it?
All owners and operators of facilities that treat, store, or dispose of hazardous waste are required to provide proof that they will have sufficient funds to pay for the clean up, closure, and post-closure care of their facilities. They also must demonstrate that they have sufficient funds to pay for the clean up of any accidental releases of hazardous constituents during the active life of their facilities, and compensate any third parties for any resulting bodily injury or property damage.
The regulations for these demonstrations, referred to as "financial assurance," are found in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 40 CFR Parts 264/265, Subpart H Financial Requirements (Part 264 applies to permitted facilities and Part 265 applies to interim status facilities). These regulations outline how hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facility (TSDF or TSD) owner/operators should determine cost estimates, the acceptable mechanisms for demonstrating financial assurance, and the minimum amounts of liability coverage required.
EPA is assessing whether the financial assurance regulatory provisions need to be revised, and is in the process of improving the implementation of the current financial assurance program. These activities are summarized in the October 2006 Plan for the RCRA Financial Assurance Program.
Also, as part of the efforts to address the Superfund 120-Day Study recommendations, EPA has completed an Analysis of 40 Potential TSDs, which led to conclusions concerning RCRA facilities. The Analysis consists of the following documents:
- Analysis of 40 Potential TSDs (PDF) (19 pp., 151 K, About PDF)
- Attachment I: Memorandum - Request for Facility-Specific Information to Support Financial Assurance Analysis (PDF) (3 pp., 31 K, About PDF)
- Attachment II: Summary Matrix (PDF) (8 pp., 62 K, About PDF)
- Attachment III: Individual Site-Specific Summaries (PDF) (63 pp., 305 K, About PDF)
EPA's October 2006 Plan for the RCRA Financial Assurance Program
In October 2006, EPA finalized a comprehensive plan for the RCRA financial assurance program. This plan outlines EPA's planned financial assurance activities, including regulatory decisions, as well as programmatic implementation items, and the associated timeframes for completing those activities. Moreover, it lays out a course for the future direction of the program.
The plan consists of two documents. The first document, entitled "EPA's Plan for Addressing Concerns with the Existing Financial Assurance Regulations," details the steps EPA is taking to address concerns with current regulations, including the financial test, captive insurance, and financial assurance for corrective action. This document also details how EPA plans to address post-closure coverage beyond 30 years, and the expansion of financial assurance beyond RCRA TSDs. The second document, "Upgrading Implementation of the Financial Assurance Program," outlines a range of short-term efforts that already are underway to improve EPA's implementation of the financial assurance regulations, and outlines plans for continual upgrades in subsequent years.
Among other things, some of the high-priority initiatives include:
- Deciding whether to propose revisions to the existing hazardous waste financial test regulations.
- Updating the CostPro estimating model.
- Engaging states and the regulated community in discussions about financial assurance for facilities under RCRA corrective action.

Big Bang
Impact-protective, thin and light case
for iPad Air
Big Bang helps protect your iPad from everyday "oops-moments." Protection you can trust, in a thin and light design.
Helps protect iPad® from accidental drops, screen impact, bumps, scratches and spills*, thanks to E.P.S. (Essential Protection System).
- iPad holder and folio cover are reinforced with proven shock-absorbent material used by the industries that take shock absorption seriously - aerospace, automotive, and sport protection equipment. This material helps dissipate the shock minimizing the impact force and protecting iPad from drops and screen impact.
- Clever engineering and durable materials keep iPad safe from accidental bumps and scratches
- The case is liquid repellent and wipeable so spills are not a big deal
*Drop protection tested from up to 1.4m height. Screen-impact and scratch protection for iPad enabled when case cover is closed.
Exceeds Military Drop Standard (MIL STD 810 G)
This durable iPad case is designed to provide you with peace of mind. Tested for drop protection from up to 1.4m height.
MIL-STD 810G is a US Military test method standard that establishes environmental and engineering testing parameters to validate the durability and worthiness of a product. MIL-STD 810G allows for tailoring of test protocols to the expected condition of use of a product.
How did we test Big Bang?
For Big Bang drop protection testing, the Transit Drop Test was performed per the standard MIL STD 810G, Method 516.6, Procedure IV, Paragraph 4.6.5. Test results show Big Bang to exceed MIL STD 810G drop testing standards.
First, the Transit Drop Test was completed at a height of 1.22 meters, as specified by MIL STD 810G. Big Bang successfully passed the conditions established by the test.
To take it a step further, the Drop Test was then conducted from a greater height – 1.4 meters. This height was chosen as an estimated average maximum height from which an iPad can be accidentally dropped by a person using it for reading, browsing or taking photos.
Thin and light design
At only 16mm, Big Bang is exceptionally thin and light for such a mighty, impact-protective iPad case – not like your ordinary rugged iPad case.
Versatile viewing
Multi-angle iPad stand lets you place iPad in a range of viewing angles so you can read, browse, and watch cartoons or presentations in comfort.
Camera, microphone and charger holes
Video chat, take photos and connect your iPad without having to remove it from your case.

Comments about Patagonia Ultralight Down Jacket (Women's):
I use this as a versatile climbing, layering, and all around piece. The slim fit is a longer cut (than the Down Sweater, for example). This allows it to go under your harness and stay under it while you move through climbs. It's also thin, so you not feel bulky and like you can't move. Great for layering with a rain jacket/outer shell for wind/water protection. This is also great just to wear around town as it doens't look too technical.

Nicholas Mang, Psychology
Nicholas MangPsychology Alumni/a
His whole life, Nicholas Mang has gravitated to community organizing and support.
That drive eventually took him to Saybrook, where he received his PhD in Psychology with a concentration in Social Transformation, but before that you could find him out in communities, making a difference.
He's helped build community centers, community development work, and business incubators for local communities – and it was all good work.
The trouble was, no matter how much good work he helped to do, he kept seeing communities making the same mistakes that got them in trouble in the first place.
"I would see that a lot of people were doing good work in the communities, trying to get things done, and yet there was very little on changing thinking or behavior … so a lot of what we were doing was creating new techniques for solving the same problems over and over again," he said. "And eventually I realized that this was happening because we weren't working on our own internal development, how we think or how we learn."
He wanted to learn how communities can change their underlying attitudes in order to better solve problems, and so he went to school to get a graduate degree in Psychology – and found it incredibly frustrating.
"At (the Institution I was studying at), the field of psychology focused exclusively on the self, the individual – so they were trying to force me to change from someone who was always trying to change the world to someone who was trying to focus on the self," he says. "That was a complete disconnect from what I wanted to look at. I kept trying to bridge the gap, and they kept telling me 'no, you can't do that, you'll study what we tell you to.'"
He tried to bridge that gap – and found his passion as a researcher. He discovered that there were a few model cities around the world, like Curtiba, Brazil, where systemic change really had happened: it wasn't just that they were solving problems, it was that they solved problems systemically, in a way that kept them solved, and brought everyone together.
"What I wanted to know," he explains, "is not 'what did they do?' – we know what they did. That's well documented. I wanted to understand 'what happened, psychologically, in this community to put everyone in the frame of mind where they could look at solving problems this way?' There's very little research on that, and I think it is a psychological issue."
But when he told his department that he would make this the subject of his dissertation, they put their foot down.
"They were telling me that this wasn't psychology. I had to study an individual experience. So I got into this huge philosophical debate about what psychology is, and in the end I was told that I either had to change my topic or leave my school … and at this point I was so passionate that I left."
That was when he found Saybrook – and went from faculty telling him "you can't do this" to telling him "we can help."
"I came from a college with a lot of bureaucratic walls: individual professors or departments may have been very rich, but the structure, the way it you had to do things, was really dehumanizing," he says. "Saybrook, by contrast, has really built up systems that are integral, that make sense: the university is designed to be much more flexible and much more student-centered, so that everybody benefits: I've been very pleased with that."
He's connected to the professors he's approached, and says they've offered him real help and support to follow his passion: he's now writing his dissertation.
But it's not just about academics for Nicholas: he's still a community organizer at heart, and is glad that Saybrook is a home for that, too.
"Saybrook has a much stronger emphasis on application to the world … looking at what people are already doing in the world and looking at how they can use their education to bring added value and improvements to that," he says. "Education can be so narcissistic, really can become an ivory tower, if we lose sight of the fact that this research should be good for people: Saybrook never loses sight of that, they stay really grounded."

By C.J. MCMANUSSun Advocate community editor
After discussing a land swap last year, Sunnyside city eventually moved into the Petersen building as a donation from Carbon School District.
Since the move, the city has worked on improving the old structure and making the Petersen School building available to the public.
Officials contracted Siemens to conduct a feasibility study into making the structure more "green" while cutting the maintenance and operations costs that are substantial in the large building.
Following the original report from Siemens, Sunnyside officials started work on a grant application that would include structural improvements and a geothermal heating system capable of heating and cooling different parts of the building only when needed by an occupant.
The units would use an exchange system that is environmentally friendly, according to the officials.
But decay in the west wing of the building has increased and local officials are considering changing the city's application to include the destruction of that portion of the structure.
"The west wing of city hall really is in bad shape," said Sunnyside Mayor Bruce Andrews during a council meeting on Dec. 16. "It has settled substantially and windows are starting to break."
In a July 19, Sun Advocate article, superintendent Patsy Bueno explained that the school district had completed a project to level the Petersen building and insure the safety of the facility.
According to city officials, the building has continued to settle around the support system installed by the district five years ago and needs to by addressed.
The building was deeded to the school district in 1956 by Kaiser Steel, minus the mineral rights. After the legalities of ownership were worked through by the school district's attorneys, the property was donated to Sunnyside.
Since that time, Sunnyside has moved the city's offices into the building entry.
The city is currently using the west wing along with the gymnasium for community programs.
For example, the Dragerton Diggers wrestling team practices there.
Following some discussion, Sunnyside decided to examine the area after officials at the last council meeting considered having engineers explore the part of the building to see if demolition of the wing would be best for the city.
"Let's have the engineers come down and look at it. It really has gotten worse than when we started with the building," said Sunnyside Councilmember Sherri Madrid.
Continued discussion involved removing the contents from that area of the building. Additionally, the council discussed an expansion of the city's cemetery as it is currently reaching full capacity.
While two properties were discussed, city officials settled on moving forward with a strip of land that runs parallel to Valley View near the current cemetery grounds.
The city has rights to a portion of the land and has contacted Breland Corporation a subsidiary of Utah Reverse Exchange, about purchasing the land.
According to officials, the city offered the corporation $300 for the small portion of land-locked property.
Officials indicated in the city's letter that, if the company was not interested in selling the land, Sunnyside would start condemnation proceedings on the property.
At the Dec. 16 meeting, city officials discussed the progress of the joint East Carbon-Sunnyside public safety building.
The metal and trusses are currently being finished on the roof and when that process is finished they will clean out the structure, install the windows and doors and begin working on the inside, as winter weather closes in.

Weight later assisted on another Park goal to make it 5-4 with 28 seconds remaining.
The Josh Bailey Goal Watch: Is over in game 25. Thankfully.
PB reader Peter F. proposed a hypothetical that did not happen but was still fascinating. Let's say Doug Weight got his 1,000th point on an assist on Josh Bailey's first NHL goal. Who would have taken home the puck?
Great question. Pretty sure Bailey would have graciously given it up.
Let's assume, for argument's sake, Rick DiPietro is 100% healthy (I know, folks, I know). I've yet to find a sports medicine expert (not associated with the NYI) who'll declare it makes any sense to completely shut him down for the season – as recommended by several PB readers and more than a few writers. But there is every reason to put the breaks on the self-proclaimed "impatient" Olympian.
Seriously, is there any case for playing DiPietro more than just every other game for the rest of the way?
Really, what would be the point of him playing any more – to get back in the playoff race, 14 points out of 8th place and with six teams between the Islanders and Pittsburgh?
Uh, I actually can't think of any other possible reasons.
The Islanders have Joey MacDonald, who looks like he can be much more than a 15-game backup. If DiPietro – bad third goal tonight – or Mac get hurt and if there isn't much faith in Yann Danis, last I checked Dubie was very much available.
Everything should be about the season after this, and the season after that. The rehabilitation of Rick DiPietro should be no different.
A Rebuild Further Along: Congratulations to Don Maloney, Wayne Gretzky and the Phoenix Coyotes on a successful year 2 (or is it 3?) of their rebuild. With Peter Mueller (8-16-24), Martin Hanzel (9-11-20), Mikkel Boedker (7-11-18) and Kyle Turris (5-7-12) and solid defense and goaltending, they are on the way in a very tough Western Conference. Don't know if it will be this year, but the Coyotes are very much on their way.
Wasn't Mueller: A source corrected a note I had recently that ex-Islanders GM Neil Smith had Peter Mueller rated just behind the chosen Kyle Okposo. The Islanders took Okposo 7th overall, while the Coyotes took Mueller 8th. Turns out the prospect Neil and the staff had ranked behind Okposo was not Mueller, but defenseman Bobby Sanguinetti, taken 21st overall by the Rangers.
Low-Def: Was it just my TV, or did the game look like it was played under little lighting and before cameras from the 1970s?
No Rush: Kirill Petrov, the Islanders' celebrated third round pick from last June, is bound by contract to play in the Kontinental Hockey League for two more seasons. By the looks of his play in the World Junior Championships, Petrov is at least two years away from being ready for North America anyway.
In fairness to the kid, he's just coming off an injury that kept him out of the lineup for two months. Petrov remains our No. 1-ranked Islanders prospect in terms of upside potential, but it appears the Islanders may have to wait on his availability and development.
Speaking of the WJC, one scout told me tonight that – great Slovakian goaltending notwithstanding – Team USA's performance is their quarterfinal loss was "disgraceful."
Jiggs & Billy: Nice pairing on the Plus Minus broadcast with Jiggs McDonald and Billy Jaffe. Jiggs is, of course, an awesome Hall of Famer, but what really makes it work is his newness to the current club has him asking The Jaff a lot of questions. This brings out the best in Billy.
For example, in the first period Jaffe raved about a play Jeff Tambellini made and said "Islander fans have to be real happy about that." Jiggs didn't leave it at that. He asked, "How so"? and The Jaff gave a point-by-point anaylsis on what Tambellini did right. As Mariusz Czerkawski used to say, "That's good s–t."
Saturday is Point Blank, Up All Night: At the suggestion of a few readers, we're going to try a semi-all-nighter. Beginning at 10:00 pm on Saturday and continuing through the Islanders-Sharks matchup until about 1:00 am, we'll be here at our laptop responding to your civil Comments during the game.
We're calling it "Point Blank: Up All Night." Stay tuned tomorrow for a few minor details.
"New York Hockey This Week" with the "informative and entertaining" Don La Greca (so said Phil Mushnick) and me will be on Saturday from 5:30 – 6:30 pm. Guests include Jiggs McDonald.

"Oh, the torment bred in the race,
the grinding scream of death
and the stroke that hits the vein,
the hemorrhage none can staunch, the grief,
the curse no man can bear.
But there in a cure in the house
not from others outside,
but from themselves,
through savage bloodstained strife. We sing to you,
dark gods beneath the earth.
Now hear, you blissful powers underground---
answer the call, send help.
Bless the children, give them triumph now."

Late last week, as Democrats and their media minions jockeyed for position at the front of the macabre post-Aurora-massacre line of people who reflexively oppose the Bill of Rights, Senator Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) grabbed his moment in the glare. It's well known that the space between Schumer and a working camera is far more dangerous than any place frequented by people with firearms, and Schumer's latest publicly expressed folly was hardly surprising under the circumstances. A tragedy had occurred; and come hell or high water, Schumer was loath to miss a chance to use the coffins of the victims as a soapbox for yet another mind-numbing liberal pronouncement on the dangers of law-abiding citizens owning firearms. Worse yet, Schumer and a number of his fellow Senators were loath to miss an opportunity to force their anti-Constitutional criteria on a citizenry already suffering their presence in the halls of Congress.
Thus did Schumer proclaim:
(The) basic complaint is that the Chuck Schumers of the world want to take away your guns. I think it would be smart for those of us who want rational gun control to make it known that that's not true at all.
Personally, I think it would be smart for all of us to recognize that the Chuck Schumers of the world have hardly hidden their desire to take away our guns. In fact, the Chuck Schumers of the world are joined by Senators Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.), Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) of the world, among others. And they are backed by the Brady Campaign and fellow fringe anti-Bill of Rights groups in their endeavors. That's how the Chuck Schumers of the world get away with remarks like "rational gun control" while pushing for anything but.
While Schumer took to the floor to once again rail against things he doesn't understand (which is hardly uncommon), he did so in an effort to throw a rhetorical blanket over an offensively secretive plan to do far more than simply abrogate the right to keep and bear arms. Following the Senate approval for amendments of the abominably invasive Cybersecurity Act of 2012 (itself a redressed version of the similarly appalling Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, which Representative Ron Paul rightly identified as "Big Brother writ large"), Schumer and his friends pulled a fast one. They tacked an amendment onto the bill which might as well be known as the "Aurora Amendment." Rather than try to take on the 2nd Amendment from the front, Schumer and his accomplices pinned their pusillanimous program to ban everything north of your daughter's pink .22 Crickett onto the Federal cyberspying bill.
If Schumer, et al.'s S.A. 2575 seems familiar to observers of dastardly Democrat deeds, that's because it is essentially a backdoor attempt to reintroduce the infamous "assault weapons ban" of years past. The new amendment is, in fact, virtually identical to the gun-ban bill introduced by Lautenberg. Feinstein sponsored the assault weapons ban, which expired in 2004. S.A. 2575 would, without a separate vote, "make it illegal to transfer or possess large capacity feeding devices such as gun magazines, belts, feed stripes and drums of more than 10 rounds of ammunition with the exception of .22 caliber rim fire ammunition," according to The Hill. It's worth noting that your current magazines, whether they be the 30-rounders most of us use for our ARs or one of those unwieldy 31 round monsters the Koreans make for the Glock 22 .40 caliber, are "grandfathered in."
Before you panic and open a new tab on your browser so you can begin ordering replacement magazines for your AR-15, keep in mind that the bill still has to pass the Senate. That means the Senate will actually have to do something proactive — not exactly a strong suit under the listless leadership of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.). And even if it does manage to make its way out of that wrinkled group, it's as likely to pass the House as Chuck Schumer is to win the next 3-gun match at the local range.
The real problem with Schumer's latest attempted abrogation of our Constitutionally protected rights — his protestations to the contrary be damned — is the same one that has plagued the Nation for decades: The basic premise of gun-ban proponents is fatally flawed. While liberals would ultimately prefer to relieve us all of our weapons, they know that will fly like a stone kite. So they try their usual incrementalist tack. They can't get the guns, so they'll limit the magazine capacity.
(Author's aside: Stop saying "clips." They're not clips; they're magazines. Your use of inaccurate descriptives reveals much more about you than it does about your intended targets. Likewise, weapons like my AR and my 1911 are not "automatic," they're semi-automatic: one round per trigger pull. Fully automatic weapons have been illegal in the United States without specialized permits since the early 1930s. Your argument might resonate more if you sounded even vaguely like you knew what the hell you were talking about. Imagine how you would feel if a conservative suggested cutting off taxpayer funding for the liberal twaddle on PBS with references to "Oliver the Grouch" on "Sesame Lane.")
Some of Schumer's carrion-feeding compatriots have even attempted to point to Aurora, Colo., suspect James Holmes's ownership of a 100-round drum as proof of the need to limit magazine capacity. That argument falls apart fairly quickly when you realize the magazine wasn't used during the shooting. The shooter didn't need it; he had the advantage of knowing that anti-Bill of Rights activists like Schumer had already disarmed his victims through draconian restrictions that disallow any carry inside the Aurora city limits. It's also worth noting that anyone who has tried to fire an AR with a 100-round drum magazine has recognized fairly quickly that it's a fairly miserable experience — and that's just the drudgery of loading the magazine itself.
For his part, Schumer added another amendment to his defense of the indefensible, suggesting:
We can debate where to draw the line of reasonableness, but we might be able to come to an agreement in the middle…Maybe, maybe, maybe we can pass some laws that might, might, might stop some of the unnecessary casualties.
Pardon my saying so, Senator, but the moment you and your cabal of Brady-backed gun grabbers began discussing limiting my Constitutional rights, you put "reasonableness (sic)" in the rearview mirror. There is absolutely nothing reasonable about agreeing to abrogate the Bill of Rights. There is no middle ground. And perhaps if people like you didn't consistently focus on guns as opposed to criminals who misuse them, we "might, might, might stop some of the unnecessary casualties." My suggestion is to arrest the Attorney General. At the very least, you'd be sending a strong message that arming homicidal narcoterrorists is generally frowned upon.
And once anyone offers Schumer and the Democrats "an agreement in the middle," where does that leave the end? Should we agree to "the middle" on free speech? Perhaps allow some quartering of troops in our homes, but only squad-sized or smaller? Possibly we could compromise on… Come to think of it, the Federal government has already made a practice of doing everything to the Bill of Rights besides murdering it and burying it in Schumer's backyard. Anyone who has watched as Transportation Security Administration agents have searched a handicapped person's colostomy bag for explosives can testify that the 4th Amendment is certainly on life support, if it isn't dead already.
Democratic attempts to institute limitations on the Bill of Rights routinely devolve into the dangerous or the absurd — as often as not, both. S.A. 2575 will have precisely the same prophylactic effect on violent crime as Aurora's ban: none, at best. Meanwhile, the liberal arguments backing Schumer border on the absurd. Of course the Framers of the Constitution lived in a world with flintlocks and the like. Lest anyone stand on that wobbly rhetorical table, imagine the Framers' reaction to the liberal argument in favor of Constitutionally protected partial-birth abortion.
The late, great Senator Barry Goldwater (R-Ariz.) said "extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice." He was right. But defending liberty against the encroachment of people like Schumer is anything but extreme.

Hello Everyone~
My name is Colette and I am owned by 3 pibbles Dexter, Lumen and Kanoa. All are from rescues - 2 are from California Bully Crew Rescue and one is from my local humane society. I don't know what I would do without my kids! They bring such joy into my life. I also have invested some time into getting a pitbull rescue network going - a place where rescues, shelters, fosters, etc. can post animals in need until I was stopped by someone named Kristine Crawford. My pitbull network name was/is For Pit's Sake Network. I have a registered domain w/ that name as well. This person had my page removed from Facebook since she owns For Pits' Sake.org. She does not have a Facebook page and her website is under construction. I was wondering if anyone here has had any dealing with her and if so, were they good or bad dealings?
Thank-you so much and I look forward to being an active member!!

In a frenzied cry for gun-control, the media is rife with details about the firearms Adam Lanza used to kill 20 children and six adults before turning a handgun on himself at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, on December 14, 2012. But information about Lanza's medical history is scarce, feeding speculation that he may fit the profile of school shooters under the influence of psychotherapeutic medication.
"In virtually every mass school shooting during the past 15 years, the shooter has been on or in withdrawal from psychiatric drugs," observed Lawrence Hunter of the Social Security Institute. "Yet, federal and state governments continue to ignore the connection between psychiatric drugs and murderous violence, preferring instead to exploit these tragedies in an oppressive and unconstitutional power grab to snatch guns away from innocent, law-abiding people who are guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution the right to own and bear arms to deter government tyranny and to use firearms in self defense against any miscreant who would do them harm."
There is a striking connection between school shootings and psychotherapeutic drugs, also known as psychotropics. Consider these examples:
• Toby Sincino, a 15-year-old who shot two teachers and himself in 1995 at his South Carolina school, was taking the antidepressant Zoloft.
• Kip Kinkel, an Oregon teen who murdered his parents and proceeded on a shooting rampage at his high school in 1998, killed two and wounded 25 while in Prozac withdrawal.
• Shawn Cooper fired two shotgun rounds in 1999 at his Idaho high school while on an antidepressant.
• T.J. Solomon, Jr. was 15 years old when he shot six classmates in Atlanta in 1999. He was taking Ritalin and was also being treated for depression.
• Eric Harris was one of the assailants at Columbine High School in Colorado in 1999. His autopsy revealed a therapeutic level of the antidepressant Luvox in his system.
• Jason Hoffman wounded five people with a shotgun at his California high school in 2001 while on two antidepressant medications, Celexa and Effexor.
• Jeffrey Weise, a student at Red Lake High School in Minnesota, killed 10 and wounded seven in 2005 while on Prozac.
• Matti Saari, a college student in Finland, shot and killed 10 people before committing suicide at his university in 2008. The Finnish Ministry of Justice later reported he was taking an antidepressant and an anti-anxiety medication.
• Steve Kazmierczak killed six including himself at Northern Illinois University in 2008 while in withdrawal from the antidepressant Prozac.
• Tim Kretschmer murdered 15 students and teachers at his secondary school in Germany in 2009, and then committed suicide. Police reported Kretschmer was taking prescriptions to treat depression.

is this game good? i wanna try it.. :3
is this game good? i wanna try it.. :3
ChUunin NinjA oF tHe FoRuM
This game is pretty good. It has nice graphics, is pretty fast paced, and is pretty fun and unique in general in my opinion.
It is a pretty big download though, and early on players don't really socialize that much. Another potential con is that the game is pretty grindy since your characters are somewhat computer controlled, and can automatically attack nearby enemies. There is also very little appearance customization, so if looking exactly like another person bothers you, that could be a problem.
In conclusion, if you are okay with a big download, I would say that this game is worth trying. Even if you don't like it, you can try some other GamersFirst games that you might enjoy more with your account. I personally would rate it an 8 out of 10.
Thinking of something to put here.
tonilovekelly will you GTFO of here!
from my experiences not worth paying
but try it im an FPS person so don't listen to me that much
yup this game is good with a nice graphics. but it would be hard if you are not into multitasking cause you control three characters at the same time. but you can choose to in with one

Mom tells story of survival, recovery following violent Nob Hill crash
YAKIMA, Wash. -- A mother and son who survived last week's crash on Nob Hill Boulevard told their story of recovery only to KIMA after police said they were blindsided by illegal street racers.
Action News introduces you to the family that's been overwhelmed by help from the community. De'von Parks holds her little boy Anothony tight.
Police said it's a miracle they're both alive.
"I have three broken ribs, three fractured ribs, a ruptured spleen," De'von said. "I have a punctured lung. I also have glass in my eye socket."
KIMA was there when firefighters cut De'von and her 4-year-old son out of their mangled car.
"Everything's gone," she said. "I don't remember."
Investigators said Jose Ramirez and Everado Nava were racing down Nob Hill Boulevard when Nava T-boned Parks' car in front of a Burger King restaurant.
"My first thought was to get to my son. They told me I was trying to get off the table to get to my son," De'von said.
The force of the crash knocked Anthony unconscious. He's now recovering from a concussion.
"He did not talk for two days, my mom told me," De'von said. When he came out, my mom said he told her he saw the angels, when he came to."
De'von said he hasn't been quite the same since.
"He's back in pull-ups because of the accident."
Quiet at first, Anthony quickly warmed up to the camera, and eventually our reporter.
"I'm really grateful for the car seat," said De'von.
De'von said they also have to recover from the psychological scars. Doctors told them they will need counseling, Anthony's grandmother included.
"I went to the trauma room and there must have been fifteen people working on him," Marlene Parks said.
But the healing is a little easier with support from the community.
Anthony will stay home for at least another week. His mother has months of recovery ahead of her.
"Do you view this as a miracle?" Action News asked.
"Yes, I do," De'von said.
One good reason to keep holding on to this little boy.
Prosecutors charged both suspected street racers with two counts of vehicular assault Tuesday.

Exceptional cycling insulation for very cold conditions
In the most extreme conditions, the cold will find even the finest haircrack in your gear. The Deep Winter Collar provides a vital layer of additional insulation around the neck to seal in the warmth of a jersey or jacket. Ideal for winter training rides of medium to high intensity, the collar is cut deeper at the front to cover the base of the neck. It is stitched in two sections, so it can be pulled over the nose and mouth on the coldest rides and the natural breathability of merino means it won't restrict airflow. The Deep Winter Collar is made from a heavier gauge merino than Rapha's regular Winter Collar and also has a brushed inner for added warmth. A must-have accessory for very cold conditions, particularly on descents.
Key features:
- Deeper cut front section for improved warmth
- Extremely insulating
- Breathable
- Two-section construction
- Hi-vis white piping
Rapha Merino Wash has been specially formulated for Rapha merino products, with a gentle action that cleans without stripping out the natural oils that are the key to merino's performance. Used regularly, the wash will remove dirt and refresh merino garments thanks to ingredients that include Rapha's Ventoux fragrance. Inspired by the plants and herbs that grow on the slopes of the 'Giant of Provence', the wash also has natural Cedar extract to help repel moths.

A "silk" is what magicians call the scarves or handkerchiefs used in magic tricks. Traditionally these scarves have been made of silk, because silk can be squashed flatter and smaller than any other material. A large silk scarf can therefore be magically produced from a seemingly too-small place, or can be hidden easily in the palm of the hand. Best of all, dyed silk is exceptionally vibrant, with crisp color. That's why silk scarves, or "silks", like these are a must-have for your magic act.
This vibrantly colored silken square is perfect to use with Thumb Tips, small production boxes, Magic Screen, Popcorn Dye Box, etc. Highest quality fine silk blend compresses extra small and tight, and presses easily with a cool iron. The edges on these silks are rolled and fully finished for snag-free use.
These silks measure approximately 9" on the diagonal. Looking for other sizes, designs or colors? See our entire line of silks here.
Available in red, blue, green, yellow, pink, orange, purple, turquoise, black and white.
