Man I wish we had a Rite Aid down here, seems they have so many great deals!! And downy wrinkle reducer is awesome, I buy it all the time, the catch when using is to follow the directions. Happy Shopping! :))
Thanks for sharing more UP un advertise deals to get :D
So could I use 4 coupons and have a $3 moneymaker?
If you haven't tried the Downy Wrinkle Releaser it's great. I paid retail price for it a while back but I won't ever do that again. It's great but not worth the retail price. Kind of like the Downy Unstoppables and Glade Color Changing Candles. I love them but not for the price. I was just at the Rite Aid in my area and didn't see these. I got some other nice deals though. The Lysol Bowl Cleaner is 2 for $4.00 with a $1.00 UP+ reward. Just in time. I used the last little bit of the 1 I had earlier today.
I agree about the Downy Wrinkle Releaser. It is great. But do a search for DIY wrinkle release recipes and save yourself some money. it is essentially watered down fabric softener.
I'm off to clip and get ready for tomorrow I have ten up so all buy 4 cough drops and four Calhoun pay tax and make 6 bucks that all use for toilet paper live it!
Hey everyone. Kinda off topic here. Do you know if you can combine the Toys R Us groupon with the 10 off 50 Palpal deal? I wanted to stop there tomorrow but it wouldn't be worth it if I couldn't use both on the same $50 purchase, if that makes sense? TIA!
I am not sure but I would think you could if total after groupon is still above the 50 because the 10 off 50 has to go through pay pal pay at the register
I did this today and I had to buy $70 worth after all TRU discounts. Then the cashier scanned the Groupon, bringing it to $50, finally the $10 was deducted when I did PP payment. I was kinda hoping it would work the other way, but PP didn't deduct when I had $30 worth after the Groupon cause the Groupon deducts a % off all the items in my transaction, so I had her void and get another $20 worth. Still wasn't a bad deal, I was able to get almost $150+ worth of toys for $50 with tax!!
Can't find the ricola coupons…I have inserts from Salt Lake and also from Courd'lene any suggestions?
I can't find it either :"(
Appears to be regional, we didn't get it in the New Orleans Times Picayune RP inserts.
Yeah, we did not get them in our Salt Lake City inserts. Bummer! But I did get two coupons mailed to me a long time ago for $1 off two so still a good deal. :)
The Sacramento Bee had them. (California)
Worked at my store in NC!! Thank you Collin!
Awesome just did it in San Diego! Thanks!
Thanks Collin!
Make your own wrinkle release : 1 part fabric softener 10 parts water. mix together in a spray bottle. voila. Great for those times when the laundry has been at the bottom of the basket for a few days.
i've never made the homemade kind but i do buy the store brand kind from dollar general..it does work and is affordable
Did the Ricola deal, but it only gave me the $1 +Ups weekly advertised reward but none of the monthly un-advertised rewards. Also did the Downy spray, that worked just fine for me. (CA)
What part of ca are you in? Was thinking about doing this deal but not sure if the monthly up would print..I'm in cali also :)
How do you know if your RA is participating in the monthly ups?
darn! was just clipping my ricola Q to go to RA tomorrow. the Q expires today! :/
Same here. Glad I noticed.

"Whether you're a Poodle fancier or just an admirer of purebred dogs, Poodle Club of America is a unique and interesting event in the dog show world, and worth experiencing at least once." So writes Senior Editor Christi McDonald in her report of the club's 80th National Specialty, held again this year on the eastern shore of Maryland. Discover why many consider this event to be the "Greatest Show on Earth" and why fanciers of other breeds attend PCA year after glorious year.
What do you do when the family goes out of town and you're left behind to care for a kennel of dogs? Kayla Bertagnolli explains in today's DFR that when she found herself home alone recently, she had more than enough to keep her busy. Find out what she did to help out around the house and how a little "me time" can provide insight into what is important.
This weekend, Kayla will be at the Salt Lake County Equestrian Park in South Jordan, Utah, for the Beehive Cluster's four all-breed shows. If you're entered in conformation, obedience or rally at Utah Valley Kennel Club and Intermountain Kennel Club, be sure to say, "Hello."

The Greatest Poodle Show on EarthBy Christi McDonald
For many years, Poodle Club of America members, and indeed most Poodle fanciers, have thought of our National Specialty as "The Greatest Poodle Show on Earth." We can even be accused of calling it the "Greatest Show on Earth," and people from other breeds that come each year to watch PCA might agree. It is a one-of-a-kind show, and while it may not be the "greatest" to all dog folk, it does, like the dogs who are shown there, have about it an "air of distinction peculiar" to itself.
Poodles are, of course, a breed with a long, rich history. The breed has traditionally had more than its share of big winners in the all-breed arena. more
This past week my family went to California for my sister's college graduation. (YAY!) Of course, one of us had to stay behind to care for the dogs, and for the first time, that one person was me.
Normally it's my dad who's in charge while my mom and I are away at a show. more

Dr. Dennis P. McHugh's Ratings
Dr. McHugh completed a TKA on me in March, 2012. I was referred by another doctor over 2 years ago and found Dr. McHugh to be very knowledgeable as he outlined all my options. The Doctor and his staff were very patient with me as I waited until the pain was unmanageable before pulling the trigger on this knee replacement. I am very happy with the results.

Spent a lot of time with me-I had severe hip pain on one side. He commented that both hips could be replaced. When I went back and decided not to have surgery right away (he said that it was arthritis), he discharged me with no medication renewal. I later went to a rheumatologist who ordered an MRI and there was a fracture at the head of the femur and also bursitis of the trochanter.

Hostile Work Environment Definition Updated by New York State Senate
June 8, 2012 - Comments Off on Hostile Work Environment Definition Updated by New York State Senate
Last month, New York State's Senate passed a bipartisan anti-bullying workplace bill – the Healthy Workplace Bill – that would permit employees to sue employers for physical, psychological or economical abuse by both supervisors and co-workers. Although the bill has yet to become law, its movement past the Senate is a positive sign for employees and workers' rights advocates alike.
The impetus for the bill came from research and survey findings revealing that workplace bullying and abuse is a pervasive problem in New York's workforce. According to the bill, studies indicate that between 16% and 21% of employees in New York directly experience health-endangering workplace bullying, abuse, and harassment. Further, these studies have found that an abusive workplace can have serious physical and psychological effects on targeted employees. According to Senator George Onorato, Chairman of the Labor Committee and co-prime sponsor of the legislation, "Workplace bullying, abuse and harassment bring with them a variety of very serious human and economic costs . . .[it] can cause grievous harm to employees who are the victims of it . . . [and] costs employers in terms of lost employee productivity."
Although current anti-discrimination laws protect employees from workplace harassment based on certain protected characteristics – such as race, sex, national origin or age – these laws do not provide redress for general abuse by an employer. If passed, New York's bill would broaden the scope of protection for employees. Specifically, it would apply to organizations of all sizes and capture a more expansive range of workplace abuses, including the use of derogatory remarks, insults and epithets, as well as verbal or physical conduct that a reasonable person would find threatening.
According to the Healthy Workplace Campaign – a grassroots organization created to drive support for anti-bullying workplace legislation throughout the U.S. – New York employees are not alone in suffering this abuse. It is estimated that approximately 37% of adults in the United States have experienced some form of workplace abuse. Although there is currently no state in the United States with an anti-bullying workplace bill, 12 states in addition to New York have anti-bullying bills pending. While only time will tell whether these bills will become reality, there is no question that these states' efforts are moving us towards a new definition of hostile work environment.

Racing babies take to the starting line in Santa to the Sea's first-ever Diaper Dash
OXNARD, Calif.—Most races are for adults, some for kids – but this one is for babies! Santa to the Sea is expanding its race options of a half marathon, 5k and 1k to its first-ever Diaper Dash. The Diaper Dash race will take place Saturday, Dec. 7 at 2 p.m. at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Oxnard, the day before the actual Santa to the Sea race. The Diaper Dash is for babies under the age of one who love to crawl.
There will be seven races with five babies in each race. The race is being capped at 35 babies. The seven winners will advance to the championship. The course will be about ten feet long on a small stage with coaches on both ends, one starts the baby off and the other cheers the baby to the finish line. The babies must crawl. Any standing or walking and the babies will be disqualified.
There is a $10 registration fee. The winning baby will be awarded a trophy. For more information, visit www.santatothesea.com/diaper-dash or to register go to tinyurl.com/santadiaperdash. Babies 'R Us is providing goodie bags for all the babies who participate.
About Santa to the Sea
Santa to the Sea is a nonprofit event born out of a desire to give back to the community. What started in 2003 as a toy drive to celebrate the relocation of the world's largest Santa Claus from Carpinteria to Oxnard, has grown into a robust running event, toy drive, and community fundraiser. Santa to the Sea includes a sanctioned half marathon and a 2-person half marathon relay, plus 5K run and 1K kids fun runs. The Santa to the Sea Scholarship Fund partners with the Oxnard College Foundation to award $500 scholarships to local high school students and adults continuing their education at Oxnard College.

This tiny hamster has a giant tiny appetite.
Not everyone can, or wants to make a big Thanksgiving dinner. For those who want to sit down and enjoy a relaxing meal dining out, here's a list of restaurants that are open in Evansville on Thanksgiving.
If you take a quick look at the calendar, you'll notice that Thanksgiving is still over two weeks away, yet that hasn't stopped two California women from lining up for Best Buy's Thanksgiving Day sale.
Here's more proof that kids do indeed say the darnedest things.
We aren't all master chefs accustomed to cooking huge meals for dozens people, so the kind folks at Butterball have been answering all our Thanksgiving-turkey-cooking-related questions for years. And during that time, they've had some funny calls.
Thanksgiving is on record as being America's second-favorite holiday (Christmas wins first prize, of course), so it makes sense that Thanksgiving lore is a part of our shared cultural history and something we start learning early in our lives. But it turns out a lot of what we think we know about Turkey Day is wrong.
Thanksgiving means the whole family—in-laws, distant cousins, grandparents and grandchildren—gets together to share a meal, catch up and generally spend some quality time together. If you're the host, it can be a challenge to entertain such a broad gathering of people.
Internet trends are getting weirder and weirder...
Thanksgiving, which we've been celebrating in America for centuries now, is a time of family, food and, especially, tradition. Even so, many of the stories we take as gospel about this wonderful holiday—wonderful if you're not endlessly bickering with your relatives, that is—aren't true at all. Myth, legend and wishful thinking play into a lot of the misconceptions surrounding Turkey Day.
Yes, we know your stomachs are still coping with all the Halloween candy you just ate. But believe it or not, Thanksgiving, the mother of all gluttonous holidays, is just a few short weeks away...
We couldn't collect the funniest memes of the week without including memes on the two biggest events of this week. So just for you, we have a bunch of Thanksgiving memes and Black Friday memes that will either make you roll on the floor laughing, or cringe at the memory of too much food and too much shopping...

Microsoft's official enterprise support blog for AD DS and more
Hi folks, Ned here again. Frequently someone asks me how to make USMT 4.0 migrate only recently used domain user profiles. This might sound like a simple request for a USMT veteran, but there are some subtleties caused by processing rules and behaviors. Today I go through how this works, talk about pitfalls, and ultimately show how to solve the issue. Forearmed, you can solve quite a few more migration scenarios once you understand the rules and technique.
The plan here was to migrate only Cohowinery.com domain user profiles that had been accessed in the past three months, while skipping all local user profiles. This test computer had a variety of local and domain profiles, some of them very stale:
The USMT syntax used was similar to this:
Scanstate.exe c:\store /uel:90 /ui:cohowinery:\* /i:migdocs.xml /i:migapp.xml /c /o
Scanstate.exe c:\store /uel:90 /ui:cohowinery:\* /i:migdocs.xml /i:migapp.xml /c /o
So far so good. Then they restored the data:
Loadstate c:\store /uel:90 /ui:cohowinery:\* /i:migdocs.xml /i:migapp.xml /c
Loadstate c:\store /uel:90 /ui:cohowinery:\* /i:migdocs.xml /i:migapp.xml /c
Which failed and returned to the console:
Starting the migration process Processing the settings store Selecting migration units Failed. Unable to create a local account because /lac was not specified See the log file for more information. LoadState return code: 14
Starting the migration process
Processing the settings store
Selecting migration units
Unable to create a local account because /lac was not specified
See the log file for more information.
LoadState return code: 14
Looking in the loadstate.log they saw:
The account 7-x64-rtm-01\admin is chosen for migration, but the target does not have account 7-X64-RTM-01\admin. See documentation on /lac, /lae, /ui, /ue and /uel options. Unable to create a local account because /lac was not specified[gle=0x00000091]
The account 7-x64-rtm-01\admin is chosen for migration, but the target does not have account 7-X64-RTM-01\admin. See documentation on /lac, /lae, /ui, /ue and /uel options.
Unable to create a local account because /lac was not specified[gle=0x00000091]
What the? The "admin" user is a local account. Why was that migrated?
So they went back and examined the scanstate console and noticed something else:
Huh. All the domain users were migrating, even though the BShirley and SDavis had not logged on in more than two years. They could enable /LAC to stop the loadstate failure but that wouldn't accomplish the goals.
USMT has complex rules around profile precedence and the /UI, /UEL, and /UE command-line switches. Despite the best efforts of our talented TechNet writer Susan, the syntax is inherently nutty. Let's get the rules straight here first:
Returning to the scenario above, we now know what happened:
One more insidious point: by running a scanstate on a computer - even if you have various profile filters listed and even if you cancel the scanstate from completing the examination phase - all of the profiles are loaded and unloaded. Meaning that if you run scanstate even once, /UEL will no longer work because all of your NTUSER.DAT files are modified to "right now".
When testing UEL be sure to keep one of those handy "file date modification" utilities close. I use an internal one here called FILEDATE.EXE, but there are a zillion similar freebies on the internet (often with the same name). All you need to do is change the date on a given NTUSER.DAT to make it "stale" to USMT.
You know how I like to ramble on about how things work and why they do what they do. Many readers just want the fix so they can get back to FaceBook YouTube work. No one says you have to use the same command-line on your scanstate and loadstate. In this case, that's the solution:
Scanstate the source computer using only /UEL. This meets the need for only getting current profiles. This may catch some local user profiles but a local user is unlikely to have much data to migrate. It's also unlikely that a local user is in regular use in a domain environment, meaning /UEL probably catches it as well. For example:
Scanstate c:\store /uel:90 /i:migdocs.xml /i:migapp.xml
Even in my example where a local user was gathered above, it added only 25MB to each store when using a Windows 7 source computer (due to the default Windows Mail files created for all users). If I had used a hardlink migration, it wouldn't even have been that. In reality, my local profiles were quite stale as I had not used them since creating the computer - I had to log on to them to make them "fresh" for my example. J
Loadstate the destination computer using /UI and /UE. This prevents the restore of any local profiles captured earlier. Since I only catch "fresh" profiles in the scanstate, there's no need to provide /UEL here. For example:
Loadstate c:\store /ue:* /ui:cohowinery\* /i:migdocs.xml /i:migapp.xml
Loadstate c:\store /ue:* /ui:cohowinery\* /i:migdocs.xml /i:migapp.xml
With that I finally meet the goal of only migrating domain users that have logged on within the past 90 days.
Note: If the source and destination computer names are identical (perhaps a wipe and load scenario), you could alternatively use:
Loadstate c:\store /ue:%computername%\* /i:migdocs.xml /i:migapp.xml
To wrap up the USMT rules: nothing means everything, something means everything except when it means nothing, and sometimes often means never. Simple!

Until next time.

I Think you easter egg is in following code
Running loadstate with excluding all users
Gosh no - I'd never intentionally provide a bad example. :) That example is totally correct. It's something much more subtle. Think "time".
May this one be your easter egg? "wipe and load" means "formatted hard disk", so c:\store is quite inconvenient for data storage...
Nope, although that's a great guess. Wipe and load in our USMT scenario means "delete everything except the hardlink store folder". That way you have all the benefits of a fresh, empty drive as well as a super fast restore of user data.
I couldn't see 7-x64-rtm-01\admin account in the list of collected with scanstate, but it seems that it should be...
I don't understand the question Artem.
There is no info about user 7-x64-rtm-01\admin in the screenshot for output of command Scanstate c:\store /uel:90 /i:migdocs.xml /i:migapp.xml (Step 1). But according to the first screenshot in this topic local admin has logged in several days ago and his profile should be collected with scanstate tool. Have you also reset date for admin profile as you've done for bshirley and sdavis?
(fixed typo)
Yes, he is migrating due to being newer. The repro is not set all the way back to patient zero at that point, it's just supposed to show you how the techniques work.
I'm suprised no one has caught the easter egg yet, it's about *time* someone did.
No more guesses on the Easter Egg? I'll give you a hint - it has nothing to do with USMT at all, and everything to do with profile ages.
I think it has to do with the date /D01-01-09.
Yes - but why?! :)
Wouldn't A and M be one and the same?
I don't know what that means. :)
Actually I think I have it. You have /AMD and no date and then you have /D01-01-09 with a date. I believe that is the paradox.
I'll end the suspense here: I have a Windows 7 profile last modified in January 2009. The OS didn't RTM for another 7 months.

Written Answers - Departmental Expenditure.
Thursday, 17 December 2009
Dáil Eireann Debate
156. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Transport the status of the proposals on transport contained in the Special Group on Public Service Numbers and Expenditure Programmes; if he is considering implementing any further recommendations on transport from the report; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [47996/09]
157. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Transport if he will report on the €60 million reduction in current expenditure under budget 2010; the programmes and agencies that will be affected by this reduction; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [47997/09]
Minister for Transport (Deputy Noel Dempsey): I propose to take Questions Nos. 156 and 157 together.
The Report of the Special Group on Public Service Numbers and Expenditure Programmes recommended full year savings of €127 million in my Department's current expenditure provision. The proposed expenditure reductions included:
A saving of €2.9 million on administrative expenditure, pay and non-pay;
A reduction of €36.2 million on roads and road related expenditure, including €20 million on road maintenance;
A saving of €68 million on public transport expenditure, including €55 million from operational efficiencies among the CIE companies. The balance of €20 million was to be accounted for by savings in aviation and cross-programme expenditures.
The Report also included recommendations on additional revenue raising measures such as asset disposals and road pricing and proposed some organisational restructuring such as the merger of agencies and functions. As part of the preparations for the Budget, my Department submitted a list of possible expenditure reduction options to the Department of Finance which [1175]took account of the recommendations in the Report. That submission also included a preliminary evaluation of the non-revenue reduction recommendations in the Report.
The current allocation for my Department in the recent Budget announced an underlying expenditure cut of €60 million. This is made up of
Pay and administrative savings of €2.9million which will be achieved through the Incentivised Career Breaks, Shorter Working Year and Incentivised Early Retirement schemes together with cutbacks in travel and incidental expenses across all activities within the Department.
A reduction of €0.65million in the administrative expenditure of the National Roads Authority (NRA) and of €13.8million on regional and local road maintenance. The NRA reductions will be achieved by natural wastage and efficiency savings. The regional and local roads reductions will be offset by the combined benefits of falls in material costs, in particular the lower cost of bitumen, and general reductions in construction related costs.
A reduction of €3.5million in expenditure on the National Vehicle and Driver File (NVDF). This saving is being achieved through efficiencies and cost reductions and will not impact on service delivery in 2010.
A reduction of €27 million in public service provision payments to CIE, which will be achieved through cost reduction and efficiency measures and service adjustments to reflect reduced patterns of demand.
Elimination of €11.1million in unitary payments on capital expenditure arising from the early repayment of CIE borrowing for capital investment purposes.
A reduction of €1million in Railway Safety Commission (RSC) administrative expenditure. This will not have any adverse effect on the Commission's regulatory functions as they will be funded by a levy under the Railway Safety Act 2005.
A reduction of €0.35 million in the administrative expenditure of the Railway Procurement Agency which will be met from efficiencies within the organisation.
The Report's other recommendations on additional revenue reduction measures and organisational restructuring are under continuing consideration within my Department at present.

Like any hardware, World of Warcraft's servers are inevitably retired and replaced. Generally it's just chucked. But Blizzard decided to do something special with its retired hardware.
Instead of throwing it out or recycling it, they chose to auction the blades of its servers off for charity. Each blade came with a commemorative plaque signed by the Blizzard team. The hardware had no information about the game or any other kind of data: it's simply a piece of MMO history.
The auctions were run as an ongoing series on eBay, allowing fans to bid. The auction was so popular and successful it took Blizzard a little while to run the numbers and come up with a final total: $330,000
Blizzard didn't keep the money for itself. That was instead donated to St. Jude Children's Hospital. In Blizzard's words:
"St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, founded by the late entertainer Danny Thomas, is one of the world's premier centers for the research and treatment of pediatric cancer and other catastrophic childhood diseases. Families never pay St. Jude for treatment and St. Jude covers the cost of food, travel and lodging for patients and a family member.
St. Jude is the first and only pediatric cancer center to be designated as a Comprehensive Cancer Center by the National Cancer Institute.
Children from all 50 states and from around the world have come through the doors of St. Jude for treatment, and thousands more around the world have benefited from the research conducted at St. Jude — research that is shared freely with the global medical community."
It's always great when gamers band together and pitch in for the community, and $330,000 will go a long way towards some sick child getting help.
Blizzard: St Jude Children's Hospital Charity Auction: Thank You!

I purchased this thinking it would be a replacement for Lancome Bi-Facil or my frequent sub Neutrogena Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover. It doesn't seem to work as good. First Lancome or Neutrogena when you shake them mix the water and oil pretty nicely together. This one did not. You have to really shake it and the oil is mixed in large drops in the water. It seemed to slightly irritate my extremely sensitive eyes and just isn't as elegant of a formula as the two listed up above. I will be returning it as I didn't really like it at all. I should note that it did a decent job removing my eye makeup and that is why I gave it a 2.

This is the make up remover I keep buying again and again. It hasn't irritated my sensitive skin and it moisturizes the skin around my eyes. It's not awfully expensive and I can easily buy it at any store, really. The old dependable.

It does the job. I use it to remove waterproof mascara and brow gel.
My only complaint is that it can be harsh for those with sensitive skin. The first time I tried it I felt a slight burning sensation on my eyelids for a few seconds. When I woke up the next day my left eyelid was irritated and red. That only happened after my first use though. I've continued to use it and it hasn't happened again.
Overall an okay product because it does what its supposed to, but not really suitable for those of us with really sensitive eye areas. It's not likely that I'll buy this again.

Wow, what a godsend this is! I don't think I could ask for a better eye makeup remover.
There's not a single product I use this doesn't wipe away with ease, and I use a lot of waterproof or long-wearing formulas. I don't need to scrub my cotton ball around my eye trying to get every last bit like with other drugstore formulas (looking at you, Neutrogena). Not sure why so many people refer to Neutrogena as a dupe for Bi-Facil; It is nowhere near as easy to remove. Lumene is more like it. My favorite thing about this is it doesn't leave a greasy residue! That's the one thing I dislike most about Bi-Facil.
So considering it doesn't have that downside or high price, Lumene is perfection!

This comes in a large (4.2oz) plastic bottle. it lasts forever! It did a fairly good job of removing eye m/u- but I dont wear w/p 95% of the time. would say that you had to work at the mascara a bit, and it gets smeary. The most annoying and puzzling aspect of this is that it feels scratchy. I noticed another reviewer said she had a bad reaction to this as well. back to cheapy maybelline again

Bi-facil dupe.

I've used many different types of waterproof eye makeup removers. And this one is nothing special.
cons: This product stings my eyes, makes my mascara flake off when removing instead of melting it off. doesn't efficiently remove all my mascara off, even some smudging after i wash my face. dries out the skin around my eyes.
Pros: no oily residue, cheap, non-leaky packaging, small opening to control amount of product you dispense.

It's been a long time since I've used a traditional eye makeup remover. I've used Lancome and Clinique successfully in the past before graduating to cold cream and coconut oil in an effort to pamper my skin. To be honest, non of these things worked nearly as well as Lumene. It can be a bit oily but I use a gentle face wash to remove any residue. Fantastic!

I love this stuff!! I was a Mary Kay eye make up remover follower, but my rep moved so I went to this site and looked to see what else was out there. I really think this is better than Mary Kay, I only wear waterproof mascara and eyeliner otherwise I start looking like Alice Cooper in an hour. It is a little greasy but wipes off easily and takes off all of my make up. I have sensitive eyes and this has not stung me at all and it's cheap!! I think under 6.00 a bottle, the only problem I have is finding it, it's ususally sold out. EDIT: 6-14-2014 I actually don't use this everyday like I did, I am onto the Bocsia make up remover oil or the neutragena wipes, this works but a little too greasy for me, does work well on waterproof mascara.

Second-generation Unser gets first-class recognition
Photo by Ken Dwinell, courtesy Portland Historics.
If you followed American racing in the 1980s and 1990s, you know that Al Unser Jr. was one of its brightest lights. He was cherubic looking when he arced up out of Sprint cars and road racing to scintillate the world of Indy cars. Little Al has now been selected as the grand marshal for the 37th running of the Portland Historic Races in Oregon.
Unser ran up an amazing record during his driving career: Two Indianapolis 500 wins, two CART championships, and 34 Indy car wins with Doug Shierson, Rick Galles and Roger Penske. He also won two IROC titles and took the 24 Hours of Daytona twice. This year's Portland Historics, presented by the Historic Motor Sports Association, will also salute the 60th anniversary of the Corvette.
The Portland Historics will take place June 27-30. For more information, visit PortlandHistorics.com.

Cloud storage: How to choose the best cloud storage service The best value cheap cloud storage services
By moving all of your files, photos and documents online to the cloud, you can make sure everything that's important to you is backed up securely.
But if you have thousands of files, this means you're going to have to pay for sufficient online storage to handle all that data.
Best Buy cloud storage providers - read our reviews of the best online cloud storage providers
There are huge difference between what various cloud storage providers charge for storage space.
What makes things particularly confusing is that most services list their price plans and options completely differently to one another. Some list prices in dollars, others in pounds; some show charges by the month, others by the year.
All of this makes it maddeningly difficult to compare cloud storage price plans. That's why we've done the hard work for you.
Cloud storage prices compared
In the table below, we compare the annual charges for the most popular cloud storage services:
The easiest point of comparison is to look at the average cost per Gigabyte, and this is where there are some huge differences in what one cloud storage provider charges compared to another.
By this measure, MozyHome's average of 98p per GB absolutely dwarves the 3p per GB charged by PC World's KnowHow cloud storage.
Microsoft's OneDrive cloud storage is more expensive than Google Drive when you look at the average cost per GB (Google's pricing is in US dollars), and SugarSync's cloud storage turns out to be the most expensive service of the group.
If you're looking for a large amount of cloud storage, there's a massive difference between paying £50 per year, and receiving 4 terabytes of storage with PC World KnowHow, and £358 per year for only 1TB of storage with SugarSync.
But is it as simple as choosing the cheapest service possible when saving your files online to the cloud?
Take a £1 trial to Which? to find out if the cheapest cloud storage services are also the best
Choosing the best cloud storage service for your money
As with most services, paying for online cloud storage isn't simply a matter of finding the lowest possible price. It's about making sure you spend your money wisely.
After all, if you're saving your most important files online, you want to know they're going to be in safe hands.
Transferring a large number of files can be a labour-intensive process, and picking a cloud storage provider that makes it difficult to upload and access your files can be a huge frustration.
We've found big differences in the ease of use and functionality of the best, and worst, cloud storage providers.
While our Best Buy cloud storage providers make it incredibly easy to back your files up online, the worst services we've tested end up creating more work for you.
We've tested some services that force you to do a manual sync every time you make a change to a file. This means if you change a file stored on your PC, you have to re-upload the newest version to the cloud yourself. Our Best Buy cloud storage services do this automatically.

Are you eager to know the sex of your unborn child? Normally, you have to wait 4-5 months until ultrasound scanning can tell you that but, now, it is possible that you wait a shorter period of time. Many women are not even aware they're pregnant at the date when this new method can already tell them if it's a he or she they're expecting.
Lorgen GP (a spin-off of the University of Granada) and Fetal Medicine Unit of the Maternity Hospital Virgen de las Nieves of Granada have developed a DNA trial that detects the sex of the fetus from the 8th week of pregnancy, separating the fetal DNA from the blood plasma of the pregnant woman. The technique has been verified in 120 pregnant women by the team led by Dr Sebastián Manzanares (Fetal Medicine Unit). The method has an efficiency rate of 98%. The test can be made starting with the sixth week of pregnancy, but more reliable results are delivered from the eighth week.
This method takes advantage of the fact that, in pregnant women, 3.4 to 6.2% of the total DNA free in blood plasma comes from the fetus. Thus, a simple blood sample can deliver a non-invasive prenatal diagnosis. The mother can even send a blood sample to Lorgen and get the results 48 hours later.
The test goes beyond simple detection of the gender of the embryo: it could also detect monogenic diseases connected to X chromosome, like hemophilia or Duchenne muscular dystrophy, more often manifested in boys. Knowing the gender of the child as soon as possible would eliminate invasive prenatal procedures like amniocentesis, chorionic villus biopsy or cordcentesis, which can threaten the life of the fetus, at an age when abortion of the diseased embryos does not affect much the health of the woman. However, critics fear sex-related abortions if parents are unhappy with the test result.
In 2007, a similar British DNA testing kit, available on the Internet, could tell you the sex of a baby at just 6 weeks. The kit, traded by DNA Worldwide, costs £189 ($377 or 280 Euro) and can be mailed to you, complete with a prepaid return envelope. The technique uses the same DNA analysis in the mother's blood.

Location-Based Social Networks
Declan Traynor University of Ulster, UK Kevin Curran University of Ulster, UK
Chapter 15
The ability to gather and manipulate real world contextual data, such as user location, in modern software systems presents opportunities for new and exciting application areas. A key focus among those working in the area of Location-Based services today has been the creation of social networks which allow mobile device users to exchange details of their personal location as a key point of interaction. While the initial interest in these services has been exceptionally high, they are plagued by the same challenges as all Location Based services, regarding the privacy and security of users and their data. This chapter aims to investigate the area of Location-Based Social Networks (LBSNs), with a view to documenting how they contribute to a new form of expertise due to the now accurate knowledge of where people are actually located at a moment in time.
Location-Based Social Networks (LBSN) leverage the power and high adoption rate of modern mobile devices to provide applications and services which allow users to share and discuss the real-world places they visit, as a part of their virtual interactions (Curran et al, 2011). The ever-increasing uptake in the use of the internet and online social networks, supported by the capabilities of today's 'smart' mobile devices, has brought with it a host of new possibilities for user interaction. Of these, 'location sharing' among users has undoubtedly become the feature 'du jour' when it comes to DOI: 10.4018/978-1-4666-1981-4.ch015
building social networking services. The focus placed on location sharing varies from service to service, with some such as Twitter and Facebook providing such features as non-essential extras and others, such as Foursquare, Gowalla, Brightkite and Google Latitude making the concept of social location sharing central to the user...

Senate Speaker and Lieutenant Gov. Ron Ramsey laughs at the notion he's changed since being elected to the Legislature 23 years ago, that he's lost touch with the common man or become "arrogant" as lieutenant governor of Tennessee.
U.S. homebuilders are feeling more optimistic that sales will perk up in coming months as the spring home-selling season unfolds.
That would bode well for home construction, which slowed early this year as severe winter weather halted new projects in the Northeast and Midwest.
U.S. homebuilders are feeling slightly less confident in their sales prospects heading into next year, even as their overall sales outlook remains favorable.
The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo builder sentiment index released Monday slipped this month to 57, down one point from 58 in November.
WASHINGTON (AP) – U.S. homebuilders' confidence fell in October after four months of gains which had pushed the indicator to the highest point in nine years.
The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo said Thursday that its index dropped to a reading of 54 after climbing to 59 in September, the highest level since November 2005, right before the housing bubble burst.
U.S. homebuilders' confidence in the housing market edged higher this month, reflecting improved demand for new homes as the traditional spring home-selling season ramps up.
But the outlook for sales of single-family homes over the next six months dimmed slightly as builders continue to grapple with a shortage of skilled workers, ready-to-build land and rising building materials costs.
U.S. homebuilders' confidence bounced back strongly this month, a sign that construction and industry hiring may pick up in coming months.
The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo builder sentiment index released Tuesday climbed to 58. That was up from 54 in November and matched an eight-year high reached in August. Readings above 50 indicate that more builders view sales conditions as good than poor.
U.S. homebuilders' confidence in the housing market held steady this month, but many are worried that another fight over the federal budget could cause would-be buyers to put off home purchases.
U.S. homebuilders are feeling less confident in the housing market, reflecting their uncertainty over the budget impasse in Washington.
The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo builder sentiment index released Wednesday fell to 55 in October. That's down from a reading of 57 in September. September's reading was revised one point lower from its initial estimate.
U.S. homebuilders are feeling more optimistic about their home sales prospects than they have in more than seven years, a trend that suggests home construction will accelerate in coming months.
The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo builder sentiment index released Tuesday jumped to 57 this month from 51 in June. It was the third consecutive monthly gain.
For the first time in seven years, most U.S. homebuilders are optimistic about home sales, a sign that construction could help drive stronger economic growth in coming months.
The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo builder sentiment index released Monday leaped to 52 this month from 44 in May. It was the largest monthly increase since 2002.
Confidence among U.S. homebuilders fell this month because of concerns that increased demand for new homes is exceeding supplies of ready-to-build land, building materials and workers.
In the short term, those constraints could slow sales. But builders' outlook for sales over the next six months has reached its strongest point in more than six years.
LOS ANGELES (AP) – Confidence among U.S. homebuilders slipped this month from the 6.5-year high it reached in January, with many builders reporting less traffic by prospective customers before the critical spring home-buying season.
LOS ANGELES (AP) – Confidence among U.S. homebuilders inched up this month, to the highest level in more than six and a half years, as builders reported the best market for newly built homes since the housing boom.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Americans bought more electronics, started home improvement projects and updated their wardrobes last month, inspired by warmer weather and a healthier job market.
U.S. retail sales rose 0.8 percent in March, the Commerce Department said Friday.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Rising interest from would-be buyers is leaving U.S. homebuilders less pessimistic about the housing market. But tighter lending standards are still keeping many potential buyers from purchasing new homes.
WASHINGTON (AP) – U.S. homebuilders are feeling a little less pessimistic about the struggling housing market. But their mood hasn't changed enough to signal a recovery anytime soon.
The National Association of Home Builders said Wednesday that its builder sentiment index rose to 20 in November. That's the highest level since May 2010 and only the second month the index has been at 20 or above in two years. The trade group cited low mortgage rates as a chief factor.
WASHINGTON (AP) – U.S. homebuilders are less pessimistic about the struggling housing market, but not enough to signal a recovery any time soon.
The National Association of Home Builders said Tuesday that its index of builder sentiment this month rose from 14 to 18.
WASHINGTON (AP) – The U.S. homebuilders' outlook worsened in September, as foreclosures and anxious buyers hurt construction and sales activity.
The National Association of Home Builders said Monday that its index of builder sentiment in September fell to 14 from 15. The index has been below 20 for all but one month during the past two years.
WASHINGTON (AP) – U.S. homebuilders are just as pessimistic about the depressed housing market as they were two years ago.
The National Association of Home Builders said Monday that its index of builder sentiment in August was unchanged at 15. The index has been below 20 for all but one month during the past two years.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Homebuilders have yet to see a turnaround in the housing market after the worst year for new-home sales in a half-century.
The National Association of Home Builders said Tuesday that its index of builder sentiment for February remained unchanged for the fourth straight month at 16. Any reading below 50 indicates negative sentiment about the market. The index hasn't been above that level since April 2006.
LOS ANGELES (AP) – U.S. homebuilders remain discouraged over the prospects for improved home sales in the months ahead, unconvinced as yet that the economy will spur the kind of job growth needed to coax more buyers into the market.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — U.S. homebuilders are growing more optimistic about their fortunes, with many expecting improved sales and customer traffic in coming months despite the end of homebuyer tax incentives.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Sales of new homes surged 27 percent last month, bouncing off the previous month's record low and blowing past expectations as government incentives and better weather boosted sales.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Sales of new homes fell unexpectedly to their lowest point on record in February, in part because stormy winter weather kept buyers away. The results pointed to the U.S. housing industry's struggle to rebound from the worst slump in decades.
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Harsh winter weather and competition from deeply discounted foreclosures are putting a damper on sales prospects for homebuilders.
The National Association of Home Builders said Monday its housing market index, which tracks industry confidence, slipped this month by two points to 15, back to its January level.
WASHINGTON (AP) – The housing market remains a significant risk to the economy, data Wednesday showed, as bad weather across much of the country hit the construction industry.
The U.S. Commerce Department reported construction of new homes and apartments fell 4 percent in December to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 557,000 from an upwardly revised 580,000 in November. Applications for future projects, however, increased strongly as the industry ramps up for the spring selling season.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Personal incomes rose in November at the fastest pace in six months, while spending posted a second straight increase. But economists cautioned that the gains remain too weak to sustain a strong economic recovery.
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Even a holiday gift from Uncle Sam couldn't brighten the homebuilders' outlook in December.
The National Association of Home Builders reported Tuesday its housing market index fell by one point to 16 this month, reflecting concern that job losses and a slow economic recovery will continue to stifle demand for new homes despite the extension of a federal tax credit for buyers.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Construction of new single-family homes rose for the fifth-straight month in July as more buyers walked into model homes ready to sign contracts, the U.S. Commerce Department reported Tuesday.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Construction of new U.S. homes rose in June to the highest level in seven months as builders rushed to pour foundations for homes that must be completed by the end of November for first-time buyers to take advantage of a special tax break.
LOS ANGELES (AP) - A key gauge of homebuilders' confidence remained near historic lows in March, as builders saw a drop in prospective homebuyers visiting model homes amid rising job losses and economic fears, according to a survey released Monday.

Yo Gabba Gabba! returns to amuse, confuse, terrify kids
That said, speaking theoretically, if kids did drop a soaked sugar cube or six, they would see visions potentially less bizarre than what they take in during an episode of Yo Gabba Gabba(!). The Nick, Jr. and Noggin show is back this week with new episodes for fascinated children and really high adults.
A lot of kids love it. It's colorful, kinetic, and everybody involved keeps a smile on their face -- even the bizarre anthropomorphized, toys-turned-life size characters -- Muno (red cyclops), Foofa (pinkish bow thing), Brobee (the green monster with no elbows) ), Toodee (the blue cat) and Plex (the yellow, 50s-ish robot).
Changes to CourtTV and Noggin come 2008
We are just a scant five days and handful of hours away until the calendar page turns over and we are in 2008. As usual, whenever a new year comes screaming and shouting out of womb of the old one changes abound. Nowhere does that seem more prevalent than in the world of television. Not only will we see a slew of mid-season premieres popping up as early as January 1st, but two cable networks will be changing as well.
The first change actually starts on New Year's Eve. That is when Noggin and The N become two separate cable networks. Both networks will expand to a 24-hour schedule of programming, with Noggin remaining commercial-free and on its current channel position. The N, which is home to the very popular Degrassi: The Next Generation will be relocated to another channel. You will want to speak to your local cable company about its new location before you go through withdrawal.
The N and Noggin to split into new channels
Via Toon Zone comes news that Noggin and its evening version, The N, will be splitting into two separate, twenty four-hour networks on December 31.
Noggin will continue with programming aimed at the preschool set with programs like Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!, Oobi, Jack's Big Music Show, and Nick Jr. properties like Dora the Explorer, Blue's Clues and The Backyardigans.
The N, originally the evening version of Noggin aimed at teens (and "tweens" to use a meaningless marketing term), will expand to 24 hours with TEENick programming during the day (All That, The Amanda Show, etc) and original programming at night: Degrassi: The Next Generation, South of Nowhere, and Beyond the Break. The N also acquired rights to air reruns of That '70s Show starting June 2008.
More networks honoring Black History Month
I'm attempting to round up as much information as I can on upcoming specials and programs dedicated to Black History Month. If I've missed anything in my search, let me know in the comments and I'll include it in a future post.
A&E, Nickelodeon, BET and the History Channel will air repeats and new specials in honor of Black History Month. They include:
Biography on A&E:
Monday, February 12 at 4:00 a.m.: The Harlem Globetrotters
Tuesday, February 13 at 4:00 a.m.: Dionne Warwick
Friday February 16 at 4:00 a.m.: Bob Marley
Tuesday, February 27 at 4:00 a.m.: Whoopi Goldberg
A shocking plot twist on tonight's Degrassi
OK, here we go again with a SPOILER WARNING. Do not, do not, do not read on or scroll down if you don't want to find out what happens on tonight's episode of Degrassi: The Next Generation.
I remember watching the original Degrassi, back in the 50s or whenever it was originally broadcast (I feel old). I was never a regular viewer, but I remember thinking that the show was better than most teen shows, better written, with a realistic cast. And then tackled some serious topics: sex, drugs, violence, relationships. But I don't think they ever had anything like what happens on tonight's show.
Jon Stewart to appear on Jack's Big Music Show
If you have little kids in your house, you might want to tune into Noggin's Jack's Big Music Show on February 2. Daily Show host Jon Stewart will be appearing on the show, making it the best opportunity for you to enjoy a kid show along with your kids, not counting that time David Brinkley appeared on Teletubbies*. Stewart, who watches the show with his children, is a big fan.
Also, if you're a Flaming Lips fan like I am, the same episode will feature a video collaboration between the Lips' Steven Drozd and Steve Burns of Blue's Clues. Burns and the Lips have a history together: Drozd helped produce and also plays on Burns' album, "Songs for Dustmites" (which is actually quite good), and Burns also appears in the Flaming Lips movie, Christmas on Mars, which may or may not ever be finished. The band is kinda making it whenever they have free time.
Thanks to my buddy Wild Bill for the info.
*May not have ever happened.
Degrassi: The Next Generation in comic book form
The long-rumored Degrassi: The Next Generation graphic novel series, entitled Extra Credit, has hit bookstores in Canada, and while we can't be sure if national pride has taken over or not, Volume One of the series is earning raves from its young readers.

Juan Carlos Chave, 46, will face lethal injection Wednesday at the Florida State Prison in Starke over 18 years after murdering Jimmy Ryce.
The Ryce family said that the upcoming death penalty will help them feel that justice has been served.
Chavez abducted Ryce at gunpoint when he was heading home on his school bus back in September 1995. In his trial, Chavez was accused and proven guilty murder, sexual battery and kidnapping, reports Fox News.
Three months after the murder, Chavez's landlady found Ryce's school bag in Chavez's home. Chavez then confessed to the murder and led police to Ryce's remains.
To help them through the hard times, the family created the Jimmy Ryce Center for Victims of Predatory Abduction, a nonprofit group set out to spread awareness about predators.
However, the family troubles remained, according to ABC 15, as Jimmy Ryce's mother died of a heart attack in 2009 and his sister committed suicide last year.

Donors and other people named as beneficiaries receive regular payments of net income. After the lifetime of the donor and any beneficiaries, the remaining gift is used to establish a charitable fund at Greater Worcester Community Foundation to carry out the wishes stated by the donor. The ideal PIF donor is someone who owns non-dividend paying securities and is contributing $500,000 or less (and would consider the establishment of a separate charitable remainder trust to be cumbersome and expensive).
What are the advantages of participating in the PIF?
How do I make a gift to the PIF?

Reports and Submissions
I live in Eugene OR , and the house we bought , I believe to be haunted by the former owner, who died here. She seems to be a friendly ghost, I haven't seen any apparition, but have felt her hand on my shoulder many times. My girlfriend has been here many times and have felt the same things I have. I'll be standing in different parts of the house and feel an unexplained cold breeze just around me, a foot in any direction and it's warm. My friend has been over when this has happened and has passed her hand in front of me and can feel a definite difference in the temperature. we have painted the kitchen 5 times and within days looks the same as before. I finally wallpapered the kitchen to cover the blue color that keeps reappearing. When someone walks across the living room floor there is an unmistaken creaks that you hear. I have heard someone walking across the floor when I am alone in the house. I have also heard a women's voice, very soft and old sounding, in the other room, I can't make out what is said but no one has been there. The most frequent place these occurrences happen is in the half bath off the master bedroom. The house was originally built in 1940's , with an addition in the 1960's. Since we may be moving out of state soon, and selling I don't want to give my name or address, even though she is harmless.

Location: Crops Pathology and Genetics Research
2013 Annual Report
At this point in time, the project is progressing at a rate consistent with achieving the goals and objectives established for this period. We had expected to be in the middle of designing and constructing simulation models for grapes and pistachio production, and beginning our model calibration and validation. We are doing that now. Information has been gleaned from conservations with individuals knowledgeable about wood canker diseases and their control in grapes and pistachios as well as from a survey of the related literature to develop draft simulation models of grape and pistachio production. The information collected thus far has also allowed us to begin calibrating these models. We await data from a survey of pest control advisors in California administered by the subordinate project related to sociological hurdles to adoption and additional literature review work being done by post-doctorate researchers under the direction of the ARS Principal Investigator (PI) to use to calibrate the simulation models.
Additionally, one of the elements of our research on grape production, specifically, is that it extends beyond California. We have made sure to reach out to extension educators, viticulturists, plant pathologists, and others elsewhere in the US where measurable grape production is taking place, particularly New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Virginia. Through this process, we have come to better understand the problems grape growers in those states face with respect to wood canker diseases and expect to provide insights into managing the problem in these areas, as well as within California.
Lastly, during this time period the ARS PI met with a collaborating scientist from Sacramento State University on several occasions to discuss progress and collaboration efforts needed to successfully progress through the research project. This collaborator also participated in a meeting with our industry advisory board to discuss the status of the project and elicit information from the board relevant to understanding more about grape and pistachio production.

Family of student smothered in sand at Oxnard beach sues college
The parents of a 19-year-old college student who died when a sand pit collapsed on him at an Oxnard beach last summer have sued the college that organized the outing, accusing it of encouraging students to dig the hole as part of a promotional video for YouTube.
Separately, a claim against Oxnard, the county and several state agencies was submitted last month in advance of a six-month deadline for such filings.
The documents concern an Aug. 22 incident at Oxnard State Beach, where Mingyu "Paul" Sang suffocated after sand surrounding a hole 6 to 8 feet deep collapsed on him, authorities have said. The native of Seoul, South Korea, had been lying at the bottom of the pit trying to record video of students standing around the edge when the sand fell on him, according to the lawsuit.
Sang was a freshman at The Master's College and Seminary in Santa Clarita. A group of students had traveled there for a welcome week beach party sponsored by the school. The incident took place in the state beach area fronting Oxnard Beach Park in the 1600 block of South Harbor Boulevard.
The lawsuit says photos and videos taken that day show the school official in charge told students to "display the 'week of welcome' hand and face sign" for video cameras "so that the school could use the video to promote itself for free on the Internet and make more money."
Sang had been told to take the camera into the hole to tape other students from inside of it when the weight of the other students apparently caused it to cave in, according to the suit, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court in January.
Such videos posted on YouTube and other sites help attract students who pay $50,000 a year for tuition, room and board, the suit alleges. Santa Monica attorney Otto Haselhoff is representing Sang's mother and father, Guem Cho and Young Sang.
Haselhoff declined to comment Thursday but said the case is scheduled for mediation Monday. A call to the college was not returned.
The claim against Oxnard and the other public agencies says the city, county, state Coastal Commission and other entities failed to post warning signs about the dangers of digging sand holes, failed to provide lifeguards and failed "to intervene in, and stop sand hole digging" despite past accidents.
A claim is the first step in a possible lawsuit against a government agency.
Oxnard City Attorney Alan Holmberg said if the claim moves ahead to litigation, the city would talk to the other entities involved to pursue any common interests.
"I don't think there's much merit to this," he said of the claim against the government agencies.

If you've been involved in designing outdoor rooms for more than a dozen years, I don't have to tell you that the fabric options have expanded exponentially. Gone are the days when you had to settle for PVC strapping or sandpaper-like fabric that was sure to expire as quickly as the dog days of summer.
Today's outdoor fabrics are sophisticated, durable and as soft as any fabric that your might select for your interior design projects. Not surprisingly, they are widely used indoors for dining, living room and even bedroom applications.
To illustrate the incredible softness and beauty, we frequently sponsor fashion shows. An event like this clearly sends the message that this isn't your mother's outdoor fabric. One of the most common questions I get is, "Can these fabrics really be left outside?" Indeed, they can.
The fade- and stain-resistant properties of Sunbrella are inherent at the fiber level. Using proprietary formulations, color and UV stabilizers are part of the recipe that starts in a colorful liquid state, is extruded as Sunbrella fiber and then works its way into the most luxurious fabric designs you can imagine. We like to use the carrot and radish analogy. Traditionally dyed or printed fabrics are like a radish. If you look at them through a microscope, the color is on the outside of the yarn or surface of the fabric much like the red color of a radish is only on its exterior. Sunbrella is like a carrot. No matter how you slice it, the color runs throughout, so you can't peel it away.
Sunbrella was commercialized in 1961 as an awning fabric to replace cotton which degraded quickly in outdoor applications. We quickly moved to boat covering and enclosure applications where the limits of most fabrics would be tested by the rigors of the high seas, but not Sunbrella. We survived at sea as well as on land and in the early '80s began the task of taking our fiber technology to outdoor furniture and eventually to indoor furniture, sheers, rugs and throws.
The Sunbrella fabrics shown in the photo above are part of the Horizons Collection available through Silver State Fabrics. To see a video of them on the runway at the 2009 Casual Market in Chicago click here.

Available presoaked with release agents, with liquid smokes, or with a combination of both. Said to offer good color transfer and yields, netting is available in honeycomb, ribbed, diamond, or smooth patterns and in black forest, mahogany, golden, or russet colors.
