Shop Holiday 2015 Classic Elements Collection - Available now!
on 10/2/13
I was a little skeptical about trying this up. I've been eyeing this up for over a year & finally decided to get it. When I opened the box, I was a little surprised at how small it was BUT now that I've used it, I can see that it will probably last me well over a year. You literally only need to tap your brush once, blow off the excess & apply. The tiniest bit goes a long way!!! The color is gorgeous & very natural looking. If you're thinking of trying this - go for it!

CANTON St. Lawrence County is considering an energy performance contract to include improvements in lighting, heating, air conditioning and mechanical systems.
Legislators at a committee meeting Tuesday agreed to let Governmental Services Director Michael J. Cunningham proceed with a request for proposals that could result in the selection of an energy services company.
If a contract is awarded, it would be paid for through savings from the improvements, Mr. Cunningham said.
The contract could include an energy audit, identification of the scope of the work and actual improvements made, he said.

As a teenager I remember how the summer air hung heavy with the scent of ripe, juicy tomatoes as I rode my ten-speed from Philly to Jersey. Sometimes the perfume was so thick you could actually taste the tomatoes in the warm air. That fragrance and those memories of summer are the inspiration for this savory biscotti. They're equally habit-forming whether dressed-up or eaten as is, but I suggest trying them with a dab of pungent gorgonzola cheese and a slice of sweet, ripe tomato. The flavors of fresh rosemary and caramelized walnuts in the biscotti will totally take off.
Make the Glaze
Put the sugar and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil for one minute.
Stir in the rosemary, cover and let steep for one hour.
Caramelize the Walnuts
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line the bottom of a sheet pan with parchment paper
Spread the walnuts on the prepared pan in a single layer. Roast the nuts until they are golden brown, about 20 minutes.
Line the bottom of a second sheet pan with parchment paper or a nonstick baking liner. Measure the butter and put it next to the stove.
Put the nuts, sugar and salt in a medium heavy-bottomed pot. Place over medium-high heat and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the sugar liquefies and coats the nuts. When only a few specks of sugar remain unmelted, remove from the heat and add the butter. Stir until the nuts glisten and start to separate from one another.
Scrape the nuts onto the prepared sheet pan and let them cool for 15 minutes.
Bake the Biscotti
Combine the egg and yogurt in a medium bowl and whisk together by hand. Whisk in the butter. Set aside.
Combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt and rosemary in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse to incorporate.
Lightly chop warm walnuts and add to flour mixture. Briefly pulse to incorporate, making sure to keep walnut pieces intact. Add the egg mixture and pulse until a dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a work surface. Cut into two pieces and roll into 12-by-2 inch logs.
Line the bottom of a sheet pan with parchment paper. Place the dough logs on the prepared pan and bake on the middle shelf of the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove from oven and brush rosemary sugar glaze on top. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
Let cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes.
While the loaves are still warm, using a serrated knife, slice into 1/2-inch rounds on the diagonal.
Place sliced the biscotti on a cooling rack. Place the cooling rack on a sheet pan and toast the biscotti in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool completely before serving.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
The Glaze
1/2 cup granulated cane sugar
1/4 cup water
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary
Caramelized Walnuts
1 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
1/2 teaspoon fleur de sel in fine grains
1/8 teaspoon unsalted butter
The Biscotti
2 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons stone-ground cornmeal
1 teaspoon double-acting baking powder
1 1/4 teaspoon fleur de sel in fine grains
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, coarsely chopped
1 extra-large egg, at room temperature
1/2 cup plain non-fat yogurt, at room temperature
1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature

Partner Network
BRASS Centre at Cardiff University
The Centre for Business Relationships, Accountability, Sustainability and Society (BRASS) exists to understand and promote the vital issues of sustainability, accountability and social responsibility through research into key business relationships.
Partner Profile
The Centre for Business Relationships, Accountability, Sustainability and Society (BRASS) at Cardiff University is an ESRC funded interdisciplinary research centre. Research at the centre specialises in business sustainability and corporate social responsibility with a particular focus on the relationships between businesses and their key stakeholders (customers, suppliers, investors, workers, local communities and regulators).
The BRASS Centre was host to the first international academic conference dedicated to Ecological Footprinting in Cardiff (8-10 May, 2007).
The conference, "Stepping up the Pace: New Developments in Ecological Footprint Methodology, Policy and Practice", represented one of the largest and most diverse Ecological Footprinting conferences to date, with over 200 delegates attending from more than 23 different nations. The event was organised with the support of Global Footprint Network, Footprint Wales, SEI-York and WWF Cymru (Wales).
BRASS is currently engaged in research to find out more about the goals and norms of the Footprint community and likely future developments in methods, indicators and markets. Partners of Global Footprint Network have been invited to take part in that research, and a report on the findings will be made available on the BRASS website at the end of 2008.

|State Cross Country moving to Kernersville
|Written by Mike Kelly
|Thursday, 27 May 2010 07:54
Normal 0 The North Carolina High School Athletic Association has announced that the state cross country championships will have a new home this fall. Normal 0
The state championships for all classifications for both men and women will be held at Beeson Park in Kernersville on November 6, 2010. The new agreement was approved by the NCHSAA Board of Directors and is for four years.
Beeson Park, which consists of 103 acres and is only the third venue in the last 30 years to host the state cross country championships, replaces Tanglewood Park in Winston-Salem.
"We are truly excited about the state championships going to Beeson Park," said Davis Whitfield, Executive Director of the NCHSAA. "We also want to thank Tanglewood Park for the fine job they did hosting our championships the last eight years."
Tanglewood Park hosted the state finals from 2002-2009. Before that, the state finals were held at McAlpine Park in Charlotte from 1980-2001.

Live @ Citi Field: Kids go crazy
I'm jealous of these kids, who are totally losing their minds right now.
Turns out, they have no idea that players are even here, let alone that they will get to meet them and get autographs, before they get their tour of Citi Field.
First they do a quick Q&A, followed by an autograph session, after which they all play video games in the player's lounge, and then the kids get a tour of the ballpark… very cool… good for them.

I'm primarly a Ruby hacker but have played with everything from Commodore BASIC to Cocoa. I'd also like to explore Smalltalk, Go, Clojure, Scala, Haskell, OCaml, and maybe even C#.
I'm not currently a programmer by trade, but I'd like to get into it. I do write a lot of scripts to help me in my job.
My day-to-day personal computing setup is in Mac OS X, but I also use a Linux desktop as a backup server and for general tinkering; and I use Windows 7 at work.
I am also deeply interested (albeit at an amateur remove) in linguistics, especially historical. This dovetails with the fact that I am a conlanger -- someone who creates languages. (I'm not especially prolific at that, though.)
I also like science (especially cognitive science, evolution, and physics) and anthropology. My overarching interest in all these areas is the way something like a genome or language or computer language or culture changes over time and forks into unnumerable new ones.

These cable ties are long enough to handle long speaker cables and stage snakes. They're great at preventing the mass tangles in the cable bag.
Best Uses
Comments about American Recorder Technologies ReGrip Reusable Cable Strap 6-Pack:
We use the basic style; simple & strong! Gigging once or twice a week, we needed a strong, reusable way of organizing 12 gauge cable up to 50 feet in length. We use 2 on each roll of cable (on opposite sides), & it keeps our 20 or so cables PERFECTLY organized! These wraps are actually a 4 inch strip of hook sewed to a flipped 4 inch strip of loop. Because of that, what you're wrapping should be over 4 inches in circumference for the hook & loop to touch. For the thinner guitar cables we wrap them on an angle to keep the loop exposed & change the wrap direction back so the hook overlaps the loop. The only way these could be improved is if the entire length was hook on one side & loop on the other but that would, of course, raise the price. We find these to hold better than the more popular "V" brand. After a couple of hundred times of wrapping & rewrapping, only 2 have torn at the seam. But being hook & loop, we just overlapped the seam & "Presto", good as new (just slightly shorter)!
Comments about American Recorder Technologies ReGrip Reusable Cable Strap 6-Pack:
Keeps all cables organized and free from getting tangeled.
works great
meets all expectations
will buy again
Comments about American Recorder Technologies ReGrip Reusable Cable Strap 6-Pack:
Does the job its supposed to do. I use the tandem style as you can run your cables through the built in "loop" and it stays secured to your cable. Beats the other type that always get lost or "borrowed" by your bandmates. But you can use the tandems either way. You won't need the 12 inch straps unless you've got say 100+ feet of multiple large cables together or like for a snake. Otherwise the small ones work great. Gotta love velcro!

Comments about North Face Vortex Triclimate Jacket (Men's):
I am a huge North Face fan, but this was the first winter coat I have purchased from them. For one, the coat is very warm and very windproof. Being outside a lot in the winter, I look for something that will adapt to the elements. The liner easily zips out leaving you with a nice shell. The liner is warm enough to wear in 40 degree temps as a jacket. The shell is perfect for layering while skiing. I like that there are lots of pockets and feature that allows you to thread some headphone through. The quality is good, but the sewing around the Velcro frayed a bit and the zipper was sticking. It doesn't now, until I try to zip it up all the way. It gets tough around the neck for some reason.

The Oregon Art Education Association will honor Synan-Russell, Smith, and five other art educators at an awards breakfast on Saturday, October 10 at Southern Oregon University in Ashland, as part of its annual two-day professional conference.
Lou Watson '15 Betty Bowen Finalist
Lou Watson, who received her BFA in 2015 in Media Arts with a concentration in Intermedia is one of five finalists for the Betty Bowen Award. Administered by the Seattle Art Museum, the annual Betty Bowen Award honors a Northwest artist for their original, exceptional, and compelling work. The winner is awarded an unrestricted cash prize of $15,000, and a selection of his or her works is shown at the Seattle Art Museum in the fall of 2015. Watson recently took her thesis project, an experimental concert the subject of which was NE Sandy Boulevard to the Hollywood Theatre on Sandy, and Esme Hogeveen MA '15 wrote about it for UNTITLED.
Alum Molly Mendoza Tapped for $5000 Rockstar Games Award
PNCA alumna Molly Mendoza's image "My Line Our Vibe!" has been awarded the $5000 Rockstar Games Award. Mendoza was one of three PNCA students whose work was selected for the 2015 Society of Illustrators Student Scholarship Competition in New York. The others were Alyssa Van Hulle and Cate Andrews. Mendoza also had work selected for the 2014 Society of Illustrators Student Scholarship Competition.
Mendoza completed her studies in the fall of 2014. She was a Lemelson Scholar, recipient of a prestigious scholarship. She has already created work for Adobe, Nautilus, and the NYTimes, and has had her work highlighted by the influential blog The Fox is Black.
This is the second time in three years a PNCA Illustration student has received one of the select awards; Samantha Mash received it in 2012-13.
Read this longer story from 2014 about Mendoza on UNTITLED.
PNCA Students in Society of Illustrators Student Scholarship Competition
Works by three PNCA students were selected for the 2015 Society of Illustrators Student Scholarship Competition in New York.
Molly Mendoza's works "Saturn" and "My Line Our Vibe" (ink and digital color), Alyssa Van Hulle's "Sami School" (ink and digital color) and Cate Andrews' "Cover Redesign for 'Gathering Blue'" (ink and digital manipulation).
Every year since 1981 the Society has held the Student Scholarship Competition. Approximately three hundred works are chosen from more than 9,000 entries submitted by illustration professors nationwide. A jury of professional peers, including illustrators and art directors, selects the most outstanding works created throughout the year. Pieces are accepted based on the quality of technique, concept, and skill of medium used. From the Society's endowment, and through generous contributions from private and corporate donors, scholarship awards are granted to about 25 students. In the last 30 years, the Society has awarded over $1,500,000 to deserving students in this unique competition.
Scholarship awards will be announced in the coming weeks, with the opening reception taking place at the Gallery of American Illustration in NYC in May. The show will be on display through the beginning of June.
Alum Criss Moss new Director of U of O White Box Gallery
PNCA alumnus Cris Moss '99 has been appointed Director of White Box gallery programs at the Portland location of the School of Architecture and Allied Arts at University of Oregon. Associate Dean and Director of the School of Architecture and Allied Arts, Kate Wagle, says, "We look forward to seeing his experience, leadership and vision build on the established reputation of White Box as a laboratory for speculation and experiment in art, architecture and design. With his direction,White Box will continue to evolve and grow as a premier Northwest art venue, and as an important research and outreach location for the University of Oregon and the School of Architecture and Allied Arts."
Cris Moss received an MFA from New York University in 2003 and has been curating "with an entrepreneurial spirit" since 2000, including creation of the Donut Shop, a rotating gallery space that defined the leading edge of a Portland DIY gallery movement, and curating the multi-venue Portland 2010 Biennial (for which White Box was one site).
For the last ten years Cris has served as director and curator of the Linfield College Gallery, where he presented exhibitions of work by Daniel Heyman, Waffa Bilal, Suzanne Opton, and Peter Campus among others. At Linfield Moss taught courses ranging from studio foundations, to digital video and photography, gallery management and curatorial practice. Other teaching and review experience includes Clark College, Maine College of Art, and Pacific Northwest College of Art. He has consulted and worked with the National Alliance for Media Arts and Culture, Oregon Arts Commission, The Ford Family Foundation and Regional Arts and Culture Council among many others.
Classes Start Feb 2 at New Campus
Classes start Monday, February 2, 2015 in the newly renovated Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Center for Art and Design. The culmination of eight years of behind the scenes work and a $15 million capital campaign, construction on the renovation of the historic Federal Building with a contemporary design by Brad Cloepfil of Allied Works Architecture took just a little over a year.
While students have been on Winter break, construction has continued at a brisk pace. These photos of the building from December 30 show how the new design brings so much light into the building—by opening the tops of the ground floor arched windows, uncovering expansive skylights, and installing a ceiling of glass in the new atrium with its new cable-hung mezzanine.
Students will walk hundred-year-old marble-lined halls on the way to classes in double-height painting and drawing studios, wired classrooms with internet speeds ten times faster than the current campus, new recording booths, animation labs, and green screen studios. They'll attend visiting artist lectures in the Mediatheque black box theater, gather in the new Albert Solheim Library, the second-floor New Commons under original sawtooth skylights, and in the 2.5 story Atrium with its Grand Cru cafe. Students will be able to show work in a number of project spaces, galleries, and critique spaces throughout the building.
PNCA's new North Park Blocks Campus includes the Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Center for Art and Design, at 511 NW Broadway, Museum of Contemporary Craft at 724 NW Davis Street, and ArtHouse student housing at 33 NW Park.
And PNCA will welcome the greater Portland community to our new home on March 5, 2015 for our first First Thursday celebration in the new building, opening a new exhibition, Justseeds, in our new 511 Gallery.
Illuminating Zena Zezza's past
Laura Heit, faculty member, was commissioned to create work illuminating Zena Zezza's history in The Hallock and McMillan building residing in Old Town. Heit's main focal point was the Great Flood that hit Portland. Entitled, 1857 Project , in partnernship with the Oregon Historical Society, is currently showing at Zena Zezza and is composed of an animation of cool toned rains being projected onto a photograph of the flood, which shows Portlanders gliding through the streets in boats. Another work by Heit is made of fir floorboards from the building, which creates a ramp that participants can walk up and experience more imagery of past Portlanders enduring the circumstances caused by the flood in almost the same type of ramp structures.

Summerson Wins LG Art of Pixel Grand Prize
Last night John Summerson ('15) was awarded the Grand Prize in LG's Art of the Pixel competition for his work, "Painting from Life." Chosen from 300 entries from nine of the nation's top art schools, Summerson's work garnered him a $5000 award while PNCA also received a $50,000 grant from LG to support arts education. Summerson attended the gala award ceremony in New York with his faculty mentor, Rose Bond. The event was also attended by event ambassador Neal Patrick Harris, Kevin Spacey, and Sarah Jessica Parker.
"It's been a privilege and a thrill to be a part of the Art of the Pixel program and to support young artists and arts education," said Harris. "I thought John's piece was particularly clever. His choice of music as well as his decision to turn vibrant watercolors into stop-motion really came alive on LG's new Ultra HD and OLED display technologies. It just goes to show that every artist, like each work of art, is unique."
John's entry into the competition, "Painting from Life":
Wall and Lesperance Finalists for CNAA's
PNCA celebrates the inclusion of alumna and instructor Samantha Wall MFA '11 and faculty member, Ellen Lesperance in the list of 24 finalists for the 2015 Contemporary Northwest Art Awards.

M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust Awards PNCA Campaign Top-Off Grant
The Oregonian reports that M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust has awarded PNCA a $700,000 "top-off grant" to be delivered when the college raises the final $1.4 million for its capital campaign to make its new home in the former post office and federal office building at 511 N.W. Broadway. The award is intended to spur the remaining donations needed to meet the campaign's goal of $15 million.
Revealing Details of PNCA's New Home
PNCA's renovation of its new home, The Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Center for Art and Design, is taking giant steps towards completion. The Portland Business Journal recently did a photo tour and captured some of the beautiful details. And if the power washing away of decades of grime hasn't revealed which building will be PNCA's new home, look for the 30 foot banner on Northeast side of the 511 Building.
Stellar Month for PNCA Student
PNCA student John Summerson has had quite a month. First he was one of the prestigious Princess Grace award winners in the film category, PNCA's third winner, receiving a significant monetary grant for his upcoming senior thesis project. Then late last week LG Electronics announced Summerson as a finalist in its Art of the Pixel new-media competition. His winning piece Painting From Life earned him $5000 as a finalist and a trip to New York City for the announcement of the grand prize by celebrity spokesperson Neil Patrick Harris. In this by invitation-only contest, PNCA was one of only a handful of art schools selected for student submissions.
President Manley on Better Bricks Panel
PNCA President Tom Manley was on a panel Friday morning for the Better Bricks Awards for commercial real estate. The Portland Business Journal quotes Manley on the challenges of public/private partnerships in real estate finance. "These kinds of deals take time," he said. "They evolve, and in the words of Nelson Mandela, they look impossible until they are done."
PNCA was awarded the Innovation in Project Finance of the Year award for its transformation of the former Federal Building at 511 NW Broadway into the Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Center for Art and Design, scheduled to open February 2015 as the anchor of PNCA's new North Park Blocks Campus. The project was facilitated by a PDC loan package of $20.3 million, approved in 2013. Construction on the project began in February of this year.
The Passing of Ken Shores
The PNCA Community is saddened by the loss of Ken Shores, who passed away yesterday.
An accomplished artist and inveterate collector, Ken was the director of Museum of Contemporary Craft between 1964-68 and a beloved friend and mentor to students, colleagues and many others in the arts community. He established the ceramics program at Lewis and Clark College, helping to build a collection there and continued to make and encourage gifts to many other collections around Oregon, including important pieces to the Museum.
In 2008, Museum of Contemporary Craft presented the well received Generations: Ken Shores, a retrospective of his life and work, followed in 2010 by the MoCC/PNCA publication by Namita Wiggers, Clay Has the Last Word, which chronicled Shore's contributions to ceramics and craft in general and also revealed his life-long passion for the alchemic process of making. In it he was quoted saying,
"Clay, I think, is such a magical material…it's a material that is so responsive, and has so much life in it. I don't know of any other material that has that quality."
One might easily have said the same thing about Ken Shores. He will be missed.
Tom Manley Op-Ed in The Oregonian
"The job market will continue to favor creative thinkers: Guest opinion," The Oregonian, 2 July 2014
In June, the White House held its first Maker Faire and asked individuals and organizations from across the nation to join the Obama administration in showcasing the cultural and economic importance of innovators who make things by applying their brains, their hands and their tools.
As the class of 2014 enters the workforce, we believe we have prepared our graduates with the skills that are critical to solving big problems and ensuring healthy economies. But if as a nation we're not prioritizing creative making, and the tinkering, failing and reworking inherent in it, we're failing to capitalize on all of our strengths. Nearly a decade ago in "A Whole New Mind," Daniel Pink argued that the future belongs to creative, right-brain thinkers who bring to the table things that can't be outsourced overseas or done faster by a computer.
A recent Americans for the Arts report, "Ready to Innovate," indicated that U.S. employers rated creativity and innovation among the top five skills that will only increase in importance, and that stimulating them and enabling entrepreneurship are among the top 10 challenges for U.S. CEOs.
Students trained in the studio learn observation, experimentation, collaboration, problem solving, iteration, prototyping, critique and reframing. Each skill is directly applicable to arenas beyond the arts and belongs on any resume. To be able to create, fail and start over again and again is, as any entrepreneur will tell you, essential in the skillset for success.
Look at companies that thrive and you'll see those that prize creativity throughout. Apple is known for a culture that incorporates design and user experience into every aspect of the way its products are engineered and built. Our homegrown Nike is propelled by innovative design, with its CEO Mark Parker keeping a sketchbook in which he records business ideas on the lefthand pages and sketches of imagined shoes on the right.
Portland provides a great example of creative people and enterprises feeding a vibrant economy. From makers of craft coffee and beer to award-winning chefs to designers of sportswear, to the creators of any number of artisanal products and inventions, this is a city that loves its makers. We proudly purchase their wares and show them off to our friends, all the while supporting a creative economy that draws more and more young entrepreneurs to this dynamic place that's both inspirational and affordable.
Creativity lives in every person and is an element of every professional field, but as an educational outcome it is cultivated most purposefully in art and design studio programs. This ongoing process of producing creative thinkers enhances the world not only by supplying objects and works of interest and beauty and but by turning out problem solvers who will find answers to the most difficult and persistent problems we encounter.

BRISTOL, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - State fire investigators have identified the woman killed in Sunday's fire in Bristol. They say 69-year old Lynn Ring was found lying in the doorway between the house and the garage of the house at 16 Oceanside Lane.
Her husband, 70-year old John Ring, was found lying injured on the lawn. Investigators say he was released from the hospital sometime Sunday night. An adult daughter also lived at the house, but she was at work at the time of the fire.
Investigators say the fire started in the garage, but they don't yet know why. A team from the Fire Marshal's office and the Maine State Police worked at the house late into the night, searching for the cause. Sgt. Ken Grimes of the Fire Marshal's office says they're confident it started in the garage, but says there are many things that could have caused or fueled the blaze.
This was the second serious fire at the same address. The Bristol Fire Department says the Ring's house burned flat in March of 2011, and the cause of that fire was never determined. The current house was built later that same year. At this stage of the investigation, says Grimes, they don't know if the fire was accidental or intentional, because they don't have enough information.
"Trying to put it together," says Sgt. Grimes, "there are so many possibilities that as far as fuels and ignition sources you'd find in a garage, it's going to take some time to definitively say for sure".
The Medical Examiner's Office says it will likely take several more weeks to precisely determine the cause of death in the case.
Meanwhile, local fire and rescue officials and the Sheriff's Department say there have been many emergency calls to the same address in recent years. Investigators say they will olook into that history bas part of the case, to see if there's any possible connection to Sunday's fire.

In her keynote speech last week to the annual global gathering of central bankers in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde praised the "unconventional monetary policies" employed by the Federal Reserve and other central banks. She called central bankers "heroes of the global financial crisis," urged them to boldly continue usurping new powers, and warned against slowing "quantitative easing," the Fed's program of funny money creation that has already pumped trillions of dollars into various bank bailouts and other schemes that it has refused to provide details on, either to Congress or the American people.
"In many respects," Lagarde told her Jackson Hole confreres, "central banks have been the heroes of the global financial crisis. Compared with conventional monetary policy, the unconventional monetary policies of the past few years have been bolder in ambition and larger in scale. These exceptional actions helped the world pull back from the precipice of another Great Depression."
The title of Lagarde's speech was "The Global Calculus of Unconventional Monetary Policies." Unconventional Monetary Policies, or UMP, is the catch-all euphemism invented by the Fed to paper over the broad range of new counterfeiting, swindling, theft, and other criminal activities it and its banking partners have been employing over the past several years to transfer trillions of dollars from savers and taxpayers to banking and corporate cronies and bankrupt governments.
EMP or UMP — Which Is More Destructive?
The dangers of an EMP, or electromagnetic pulse, have been much discussed by scientists, military strategists, national security analysts, and preparedness advocates, often referred to as "preppers." An EMP could be the result of either a severe solar storm (a coronal mass ejection) or an act of war, in which an enemy detonates a nuclear weapon above the United States, at an altitude of 25 miles to 100 miles, or more. A severe EMP could knock out the power grid and telecommunications, as well as fry the electrical systems in automobiles, computers, and many home and office electronic products. Obviously, an EMP, whether produced by the sun or an enemy WMD, would be a bad thing.
But what about the impact of UMP, which is not some "what if" theoretical threat some time in the future; UMP has already been wreaking global economic havoc for several years, though the full destructive consequences of UMP have been barely perceived.

Layers;Gate is a blue movie version of Steins;Gate, a visual novel originally created for the Xbox 360. And the porn parody version is a little too much like the original for the tastes of the game's creators.
Portions of the flick apparently violate copyright law, and the flick is therefore going out of production. TMA cancelled upcoming shipments and apologized for any trouble that Layers;Gate might have caused.
The opening of Layers;Gate is mimics the opening of the Steins;Gate anime. Watch the clip and see for yourself.

What desktop are you using? I'm assuming you're talking about an X terminal, and not a standard terminal?
As for perl, I know there is perl for solaris...just a matter of installing it. Typing "perl" doesn't bring you to an interpreter? Unfortunately I have no idea how solaris package management works.

Supporting Workers to Have Power Over Their Lives
Next Steps in Implementing Fairtrade's new Workers Rights Strategy
Back in April we announced that Fairtrade had adopted a new workers rights' strategy. Now we'd like to share more about this strategy and how we will bring this vision into reality.
Fairtrade's new workers' rights strategy, approved by the Board of Fairtrade International, includes specific recommendations to support Freedom of Association, living wage, and Premium decision-making and use. You can read about these recommendations in A New Workers Rights Strategy for Fairtrade (PDF). (Versión en Español aquí)
The Fairtrade producer networks in Africa, Asia and Latin America have kicked off their process to develop regional strategies in line with the global workers' rights strategy. Their contributions will help us to adapt the strategy to fit the local situation in each producer region.
Following the adoption of these regional strategies, Fairtrade International's Standards unit will revise the Fairtrade Standard on Hired Labour. They will be consulting with a wide range of stakeholders to deliver a revised Standard which integrates the recommendations of our workers' rights strategy. Fairtrade International will also work to build partnerships and find other ways to meet the hired labour strategy recommendations.
In parallel to these processes, Fairtrade International continues to work closely with labour rights organizations and unions, particularly through the Workers' Rights Advisory Committee (WRAC) to address emerging issues as well as ongoing work.

If you're like me, the constant barrage of political rhetoric of election season has driven you a little batty. And while the two candidates—we'll call them tweedle-dee and tweedle-dumb—show no signs of slowing their circuitous game of grab-ass, I've promised myself to get informed and make an educated decision in the November election. It will be my final act of adult responsibility before checking out for ski season and reverting back to toddler speak, storm chasing, excessive beer drinking, and general real-world ignorance.
To honor the occasion, I've decided to drink one of the nation's few democratically elected beers, Hocus Pocus by Vermont-based Magic Hat Brewing Company. Previously retired, Hocus Pocus won a hard fought battle against other former Magic Hat brews in an election that doubled as a voter registration campaign in partnership with HeadCount. Its prize for winning: resurrection and a fresh release through the election season for the masses to enjoy.
Being a lifelong Westerner, I've only heard about Hocus Pocus through my chest-beating Vermont-bred friends. I've got to give them credit. Hocus Pocus is a darn fine beverage. A crystal clear, straw-colored beer, Hocus Pocus starts out with noticeable lemony and grassy aromas. It smells light, airy, and approachable. Its flavor begins with a tart, almost Granny-Smith-apple-like sweetness, and then it finishes crisp, dry, and refreshing. Hocus Pocus is a perfectly sessionable wheat beer made for hot, dry, patriotic afternoons.
For more information, check out the Magic Hat Brewing Company website.

Egypt is a popular Arabic country that plays host to many tourists annually. The history of this north African country needs little introduction – almost everyone is familiar with the legendary pyramids, hieroglyphs and pharaohs that have left this nation with a rich archaeological heritage.
As a holiday destination, Egypt offers a heady mix of ancient history, sunny climate and beautiful beaches with something for everyone.
The Egyptian capital of Cairo is the largest city in Africa and home to nearly 20 million residents. The city's proximity to the Great Sphinx and pyramids of Giza makes it a popular destination for tourists.

Lexy H.Millbrae, Ca.Great Temporary!Okay so, I am a massage therapist, which means that I have to keep my nails uber short due to the detail work that I do.
It's a pain to paint my nails because they chip every other day. ITs alot of maintenance.
I got shellac, which I love BUT nails grow fast, have to upkeep them and cost a fortune, and damaging to my lunula and nail mantle. I have seen ridges from the nail techs trying to hack away at the remnants.
Anywho, I came across these in the drugstore one day and I decided to try them!
They have the glue affixed to them all you need is peel the back off and press.
I do advise cleaning and pushing back the cuticle a bit, and slightly filling depending on how much you want them to stick.
I take it an extra step and use nail glue for the edges to prevent lifting. I also apply a drop under the free edge for security over the weekend.
Then come Sunday night, I peel them off and I have no damage to my nail what so ever! I do have glue remnants but i just use nail polish remover.
Done and done!!!!

By KEVIN SCANNELLSun Advocate reporter
Bruce Bean may call himself a naturally shy type of person, but ask anyone who has worked closely with him and they can tell you otherwise. Plus his new job will require him to be anything but shy.
The newly named Carbon High School Principal has seen and been through a lot over his 25 years working with the Carbon County School District. From his work on the sidelines as a sports coach to his work in the class room as a biology teacher, Bean has enjoyed working with students in both fields. After years of working in the classroom, Bean made the move into administration with Carbon High as Vice Principal before moving to Mont Harmon Junior High as Principal for the 2009-10 school year.
Bean's roots in education began with his family while growing up in the small town of Sugar City, Idaho as his mother worked as a school teacher. When Bean moved to Carbon County in 1987 after finishing his education at Utah State University, he didn't think it would last more than a few years before he moved to another area.
"I thought I would be a coach here for a little while," Bean remembered. "But now I call this place home."
Over the last month the school district has seen principals leave for jobs in other areas, leaving vacancies at schools including Carbon High School, Mont Harmon Junior High, Wellington Elementary and Sally Mauro Elementary.
With Bean's experience as an administrator at Carbon High and Mont Harmon, he was naturally one of first names thrown around as a choice for the post at Carbon High. After mulling over their applicants, the district announced that Bean would be returning to Carbon High as principal.
While he has experienced changing schools before, Bean said he felt a rush of excitement when he heard the news.
"Just wow!" Bean said of his reaction to the news. "Being principal puts you at the forefront of everything at the high school."
"It's a little daunting to say the least," he later admitted. "We are the flagship school of the community."
He credits his coaching background and his many years teaching in the classroom for helping him reach a position as principal. Bean said he is not worried at all about the transition of returning to Carbon High because of the faculty and staff that work hard and want to see the students succeed which makes the high school a great environment to be around.
"We really have a great school here and the faculty and staff are making the transition very simple for me," Bean explained. "The previous principals, Robert Cox and Greg Stanfield, both did a very good job while they were here."
While the transition from being a teacher to a supervisor has been a difficult process since he moved into administration, Bean said he is comfortable with how things are working at Carbon High. While Carbon High and the school district may have its fair share of problems, Bean feels that hard work and encouraging students to get involved and make many friends can help deter them from getting into trouble.
"The system is not a great or perfect one for everyone," he said. "But the quality of the teaching is very good at Carbon High, the extra curricular programs are great and the school has high test scores compared to others around the state."
"The ball is already rolling here at Carbon High," he explained. "I don't need to come right in and do much to change things because it could stop that process."
After working for the past two years at Mont Harmon Junior High, Bean said he is excited to be back working closely with the young adults who attend Carbon High. He isn't planning on spending each and every day in his office. Instead he wants to be out in the hallways and in the classrooms, observing and conversing with both teachers and students on a regular basis. He has already informed the secretaries about his plans to do just that.
"I told them to keep me out of this office as much as possible," he quipped.
Being a part of the process of watching as students work over the years to complete their education at Carbon High and helping them move on to other ventures in life is just one of the many benefits of working in education, Bean said.
"Seeing former students make a living and being successful is a great part about the job," he said.
And graduation day, while in some ways can be sad, is one of the proudest moments an educator will have, he explained.
"I always get a lump in my throat every year with graduation," Bean said.
There are two interesting facts about Bean that students or faculty may not know about. Coming back to Carbon High should not pose a problem with Bean in another area of his life: his choice of clothing. The blue and white colors, or slight variations of them, have followed Bean from his days in Sugar City, Idaho to USU to Mont Harmon and back to Carbon High.
"I won't have to change much with my clothing," he laughed.
The other interesting fact about Bean is his choice of another dream job if he didn't venture into the education profession. His choice? A professional chef.
"I love cooking Japanese food," he said. His plates of choice would include a nice spread of shashimi, fresh raw fish meat cut into thin pieces, sushi and some tonkatsu, a breaded deep-fried pork cutlet sliced into bite-size pieces.
While the first few days of school can be a tough transition for students coming back from a long summer break, Bean said the teachers and faculty are ready for the school year to begin. He wants students to get that same excitement about coming back for another year of school.
"It's a rush for the students and the teachers," he said of the first day of school. "I don't know how you could be bored here. If you're not excited to be here, you should go out and get a job and see what that's like."

Recent Belay/Rappel Device Reviews
BMS Micro-Rack
The BMS Micro rappel rack is one of the best rappel devices for cave use. It lasts a long time due to the stainless steel construction. Not many pieces of gear last in caving. This one does. After seven years I may have to replace a bar soon. Not only does the device last, but it works very well. I have used it to rappel down countless deep cave systems, covered it in mud and sand, and it still works. Full review
Petzl Simple
A good device for flexible ropes. The Petzl Simple is a good device. I borrowed a friend's to try it out, and later acquired one of my own. It works well with flexible rope, but not with stiff rope. It handles longer rappels better than a fig. 8. One of the best things about it is that it can be left on the harness between rappels so you don't risk dropping it. Full review
Petzl Stop
Works best with flexible rope, the Stop locks down on the rope if your hand comes off the lever. Safe device with a long history of use in Europe for caving. I used the Stop in Europe to descend various caves over the course of a month. It is a good device, and allows for a free hand to clip into a belay station on rappel. This is very nice since the ropes in Europe are generally re-anchored multiple times on a rappel. It is also fairly compact and lightweight compared to a stainless rappel rack. Full review
SMC Rigging/Descending Ring
These are nice because they cost less than stainless rap rings. I used them to rig a cave once. Rigged several rappels with these so I could retrieve the rope. You would want these if you need light weight or are on a budget and need to set up a lot of rap anchors. Full review
Sterling Rope ATS
Used the ATS to rappel into several caves. This device is lightweight and well designed. It handles 11mm rope surprisingly well for what it is. Used to rappel a 120' cave drop on 11mm static rope a couple times. I'd guess it would be great for canyoneering, as it has more friction options than a standard fig. 8. I really liked the ATS, but it does get a lot more hot on fast rappels than my stainless rack. Full review
Black Diamond ATC-Guide
Besides being quite lightweight, the ATC-Guide is a very nice evolution from the ATC. The ability to belay directly off of the anchors is so great that you will go "wow" if you have never belayed a second off of the anchors. It will lock off, and that really helps in keeping the second safe. It's easy to incorporate it into the anchor system, and it's quite easy to rappel from either double or single line rappels. Full review
Advanced Base Camp ARC Belay Device
Great friction, holds great. Full review
Mammut Smart
Easy to use in a very similar way to a traditional belay plate, but with added security. I wanted an assisted braking belay device to give my wife more confidence in lead belaying. The Smart is just what I needed as it operates in a very similar way to a traditional belay plate but gives added security of assisted braking. It's very light to carry and quick and easy to set up with no moving parts to the device. The lowering and paying out action is slightly different to a plate device but not too… Full review
