Is Polyglot backpacking from one place to the other, or boltholing for a few days then moving on to the next place of interest?
The current totally-vague plan is to spend a couple of days in Vancouver-proper for the family, a daytrip to Garibaldi or Pemberton kind of area then get cheap weekly accommodation in Nanaimo and travel from there: mostly daytrips, maybe an overnight somewhere on the west coast.
Due to other issues, it's now looking slightly iffy. I'll know more for certain if/when the travel booking is actually approved which should be later this week.
Aiiiiieeee! Due to some political stupidity at work, I'm not going to be able to have the holiday I thought I was.
Still doing all the Halifax stuff, but I won't have my family along and will get probably only 3 nights in Vancouver instead of 11.
So maybe one night in the mountains (Brandywine/Garibaldi/Pemberton somewhere) and two nights in Nanaimo or something. Got some prioritising to do.
Well, I guess it's better than nothing, and with no family means INDEPENDENCE!! You're going to have to seriously priorities work time vs photography time in such a small timeframe. I hope you get something memorable. I would still fight tooth and nail to get 11 days there! :)
Oh, I will still have 3 weekends in Halifax dedicated to photography, in between work. And the 3 days in YVR will be ALL photography ALL the time. So I'm still going to get about 10 days to myself to give the RZ a really good workout and as you say, no interruptions and no feeling guilty for that one more stop. Won't get to see any of Vancouver City though, I reckon it'll be straight into the hire car and up the mountains.
Specific-question time. Is there somewhere I can stay in the mountains (Brandywine to Pemberton) wherein I could get into the car for a few minutes then walk up to a nice big mountainous lake and be there for dawn? I will be alone but with good lighting and shoes and stuff; obviously I want to minimise the distance I need to walk in the dark and the risk of falls.
Do some research also about internet ability if you intend to keep in touch with family back home. My family has had to resort solely to SMS for the duration of their stay in Canada due to internet foibles; they can receive email (sometimes garbles), but no attachments; they cannot send email no matter what they do, with any of the accounts they have. Apparently a lot of people have been caught out unprepared for this. Just something to note. Canadians here on APUG could no doubt shed some light on this irritating hobble.
What, you mean the wifi in the really expensive apartment I'm staying in is not connected to the outside world?
I intend to buy a data-SIM for wandering around with. Surely you can get prepaid data SIMs in Canada?
If you rely on your phone service for internet access, my understanding is that it can be complex to deal with non-Canadian phones and Canadian ISPs. Not impossible, but it may be different.
Even if it isn't complex, it will probably be more expensive :blink: than it should be.
But WiFi should work normally.
This thread is full of stuff I can't understand, and is at least three years old, but I think that it might be on point: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/canad...martphone.html
In the past I think there may have been more problems with unusual system standards, but I believe that most of the networks now use systems that are more mainstream.
You should ask for as much information about wifi that they can give you including any configuratioin settings that need to be changed (proxies, gateways etc.); it's Canada, not Australia. The likely unusual internet standard of North America mentioned by MattKing rings a bell. This needs research.
Yes, the prepaid SIM is what they are using there and it has worked well everywhere from Vancover to Banff to Ketchikan and Juneau; it has not been so useful though at Skagway in AK; now en route back to Vancouver (home Monday night) and said three text messages were sent to me from Skagway but nothing has been received here...just the one sent approaching Vancouver. The overall costs of things the folks encountered will be of great interest to me (planning a trip in 2014), but they are big spenders on food and wine, not so crash hot on exploring like us, and photography...well, I gave them my old digi and two 16Gb cards and to date only 102 photos taken in 4 weeks from bus seats, a chopper and a light plane! Vancouver is apparently Canada's most expensive city but other travellers have said a good meal there is cheaper than Sydney. So lots of little things to be learnt. So you'll be up there in the fall (autumn)? No doubt that will be a treat for the colours.
Actually, the "unusual standard" refers to the mobile phone systems. I've never heard that our internet access systems are unusual.
As for how expensive it is here, we do have the highest shelter costs in Canada, but other costs vary widely.
Film is available at a few locations, at costs higher than the big US retailers, but less than Australia.
Our alcohol and cigarette products are highly taxed, and therefore relatively expensive. Our better BC wines are quite good, but can be more expensive than a lot of the Australian wine that we import (among many others).
Groceries range from very cheap to more expensive than the US.
We have some tremendous, world class restaurants that we consider expensive, but visitors tell us are cheap in comparison to restaurants of similar stature in other parts of the world.
And we are tremendously multi-cultural. You can find cuisine from just about everywhere here. Some of it is exceptionally reasonable in price.
I just spent $8.55 plus tip for lunch today in a local pub - A dozen chicken wings, a nice side salad with ranch dressing, and a pint (1/2 litre?) of local draft beer. That is their Wednesday special, and one of the better deals around.

Blue Ribbon smiles at Nuckols Farm
Henrico's Nuckols Farm Elementary School celebrated its new National Blue Ribbon School status Sept. 20 with a student body assembly, music, and visits from Henrico County Public Schools (HCPS) leaders as well as representatives from Senator Mark Warner's office and the U.S. Dept. of Education.

Gianfranco Venturelli is no stranger to success and the situation his team now find themselves in. Since joining Victory as Team Manager in 1998 he has guided the Dubai outfit to three World, five European and two Middle East Championships.
Victory 77. Photo:Simon Palfrader© - WPPA Class 1 World Powerboats Championship
This year Victory 77 regained the European title and with three races remaining look to be on the verge of recapturing the world title that the team last held in 2001. For Venturelli their current position is a luxury but also a headache.
'In the past when we were chasing the title we have nothing to lose – so it was a case of trying anything and everything we could and we did,' he said. 'Now the situation is different. We are in front. We have to be aggressive but must pay attention to all things because now we can lose everything – it's a luxury situation but at the same time presents a big headache.'
Victory's two main rivals are Qatar 96 and Spirit of Norway, both finishing ahead of Victory 77 in the last race and Venturelli knows where the threat lies. 'We have to be realistic – we know if number 10 (Spirit of Norway) stays together – I think they are unbeatable.' commented Venturelli, adding. 'We know this situation. We have been there. If the difference in performance stays the same it will not be good for the championship if it is the same winner again. This is what people said when we were winning – so we decided to make our boats available to everybody to try to make the championship more even.
'But again, if Spirit of Norway doesn't make a mistake like they did in Romania or have a technical problem, there is no doubt they will win. Qatar 96 is also very fast – but we must not do anything crazy or take risks but at the same time must be aggressive. In Egypt the conditions were bad – two teams needed to fight each other and not us - so there was no need to get in the middle, no need to take risks – the target was finish on the podium - we did. Now is the time to defend our position and a podium is critical for Victory 77.'

How can I use CF7 to generate emails to multiple clients based on a few Y/N choices, without errors resulting from a blank email when someone selects N?
For example, item-1 and item-2 relate to projects from different clients that should be copied on requests for their own item (but not if someone says no to their item).
I have these drop down fields to ask Y/N then how many....
[select email-1 "email@example.com" "N|"] [select item1 include_ blank "5" "10"] item-1
[select email-2 "email@example.com" "N|"] [select item2 include_ blank "5" "10"] item-2
...In the "additional headers" box, I have...
Cc: [email-1]
Cc: [email-2]
If both are selected, the email goes through fine. If only one is selected, This error message shows up, even though the emails actually go through...
"Failed to send your message. Please try later or contact administrator by other way."
How can I do these while leaving the N option blank to no email? Would I have to insert a email to an active dummy email address to prevent the errors?

Do You Get Gwyneth as a Lifestyle Guru?
Gwyneth Paltrow has been expanding her horizons well beyond the big screen these days. The Oscar winning actress has expressed her interest in working less to remain closer to her kids and now she has found new ventures which won't take her away from home. Along with modeling contracts, cookbook deals and high end gyms, Gwyneth's Goop website has made major headlines as well as backlash. She has defended her site recently saying, "I think the people who are criticizing it or criticizing the idea of it, don't really get it, because if they did, they would like it." Paltrow will continue to educate her subscribers with ideas on travel, food, religious wisdom and diet cleanses, making this mom a woman of all trades. So, tell us — do you buy Gwyneth as the next lifestyle guru?

Animal Care Internship Program
So you want to be a zookeeper.
Have you always wanted to work with animals? Do you have a passion for conservation? If the answers are yes, then you are well on your way. As with many careers these days, job-seeking in the zoo world has become very competitive. It is sometimes particularly hard to get experience working with animals. In addition, many positions require a bachelor's degree in Zoology, Biology, or a related field of study. The best way to get experience is to apply for an internship with animals.
The Cincinnati Zoo has recently re-vamped our animal care internship program. The traditional internship has been reinvented as the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden Animal Keeping Training Course. The training course lasts 16-weeks (40 hours per week unpaid, un-benefited) and occurs Summer, Fall, and Winter. The positions encompass the education of skilled professional and technical work in the routine daily care of assigned animals, enclosures and related facilities within a particular animal department.
Through goals set by interns and staff, each intern follows a curriculum designed to provide a basic skill set and experience for becoming an animal keeper in an AZA institution. Each week a new topic is presented and discussed. Topics include (but aren't limited to) basic husbandry, operant conditioning, enrichment, nutrition, veterinary care, public speaking and presentations, green practices and conservation, and job-seeking/interview skills. Interns are responsible for completing 4 separate projects related directly to the animals they will be caring for. Mid-session and final reviews are conducted in order to provide each intern with constructive feedback about their contribution to the internship.
If you think this internship matches your goals in life, you will need to meet the following requirements in order to apply: 1) Current college junior or senior working toward an animal related degree, Biology, Zoology etc.; or within one year of graduation with a related degree. 2) Demonstrate commitment to working with wildlife in a zoo setting. 3) Comfortable working with a diverse collection encompassing all classes of animals.
As testament to the strength of this training course, one of our past interns gave us this feedback: "This internship has definitely been one of the best experiences of my life! I have learned so much thanks to the generosity and time of others. All of the topics covered facilitated my professional growth and has solidified my desire to be a zookeeper. This internship, with its well-developed curriculum should set the bar for internships in zoos across the country." Wow! What an amazing compliment. However, we will never rest on our laurels, continuing always to improve and modify the content in order to provide the best experience possible.
So if you have the desire, educational background, and commitment to work with animals in a zoo setting, apply for the Zoo's Animal Keeping Training Course. We are currently accepting applications for the winter section. Check out www.cincinnatizoo.org/about-us/job-opportunities/ for more information and to apply. This is an amazing opportunity to get animal care experience at a world class institution!

Do You Know the Potto?
Everyone is familiar with primates like gorillas, monkeys and even lemurs, but not too many people know of the potto. So what's a potto, you say? Pottos are prosimians, which are primitive primates, not as highly evolved as monkeys but sharing many of the same characteristics (fingernails and toenails, stereoscopic vision, forward facing eyes, etc.). Some other prosimians include lemurs, lorises, bushbabies, tarsiers and aye-ayes.
The Cincinnati Zoo is one of very few zoos around the world to exhibit pottos, not because they are endangered, but more because of their nocturnal way of life. Many zoos do not have a building like our Night Hunters exhibit in which the day / night light cycle is reversed. This allows us to exhibit nocturnal creatures under subdued blue lighting during the time our guests visit and then fill the exhibits with white lighting when our guests have left.
In early 2014, there were only 16 pottos in four zoos in the United States—Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, Milwaukee County Zoo, Franklin Park Zoo and Cincinnati Zoo, of course. We have maintained pottos in our collection since the mid-1960s when we first opened the former Nocturnal House. We have been one of the top breeders of these African primates and we currently have seven pottos at the Zoo. Recently, it became clear that if we wanted to keep these charismatic animals in U.S. zoo collections, then we needed to have a plan to maximize the potential of our small population with regards to breeding and to also recruit more zoos to commit to exhibiting them as the potto population grew.
The Mammal Curators of the zoos holding pottos were all on board with the desire to continue to work with this species. The pedigree information of the U.S. population of pottos was run through a computer software program that provided us with the best possible pairings from our small group in order to maximize genetic diversity. From that information it became clear that in order to achieve our goal, 12 of the 16 pottos needed to move in order to create the pairings recommended. We also needed one more facility to join us to provide the extra space needed to ultimately put together the seven potential breeding pairs indicated by our "computer dating" service. The Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha, Nebraska stepped up to become the fifth zoo in the U.S. to maintain pottos.
By mid-summer, the five zoos had committed to making the necessary moves to have all the transfers completed before cold weather might become an issue for transportation. Of the six animals we originally had here in Cincinnati, four have transferred to other zoos while five new pottos arrived. We now have three pairs as well as a young male who will serve as a companion animal to an aging bamboo lemur. The other zoos involved with pottos will either have one pair (Cleveland Metroparks Zoo and the Henry Doorly Zoo) or two pairs (Franklin Park Zoo). The Milwaukee County Zoo, which is now holding a single young female potto, is attempting to import a young male potto from Africa, which will provide new genetics to our population as well as provide us with yet another pair of animals for breeding.
It has been very gratifying to see how well the five zoos have worked so quickly and cooperatively towards our common goal to maintain a healthy potto population. Though the potto may not be an endangered species, we would hate to lose this charismatic creature from our collections. Many Cincinnatians have met our potto, Gabriel, at the Zoo or at events around the city. I like to think that it's because of this ambassador animal that more Cincinnatians know what a potto is than people in any other part of the country.

A Glimpse into our Green Teens!
By Kaitlin Burt, Sustainability Intern
At the "Greenest Zoo in America", we are constantly working to make the zoo and the visitors experience as green as possible. An important aspect of doing this is getting the word out and educating our visitors. This summer we are lucky to have a great group of teens that are doing just that. These teens are known as the Green Teens and this is the Zoo's third summer having them volunteer with us. The Green Teens rotate their time between multiple stations such as the Go Green Garden, the Aquaponics Greenhouse, the Base Camp Café, and teaching about Vermicomposting at Insect World. With the help of these Green Teens, we are able to educate and answer any questions the visitors might have on what the Zoo is doing to go green, as well as help make our guests have a positive visitor experience to the Zoo.
Many of our teens have volunteered with us for multiple summers, and we are so grateful to have them! Below is an interview done with three of our current Green Teens, all returning Green Teens and are very knowledgeable about the Zoo's green efforts. Candice is a junior at Oak Hills High School, Christine is a sophomore at Ursula High School, and Hailey is a freshman at Campbell County High School.
1. What is your favorite green initiative the Zoo has implemented?
a. Candice: Aquaponics
b. Christine: Solar Canopy
c. Hailey: Solar Canopy
2. What is the most interesting thing you have learned about while being a Green Teen?
a. Candice: That 80% of waste can be diverted from landfills by composting and recycling
b. Christine: That food utensils can be made to be compostable
c. Hailey: Learning about the Aquaponics system and how you can make your own no waste habitat
3. What is your favorite Green Teen station (The Aquaponics Greenhouse, The Go Green Garden, or Vermicomposting at Insect World) to volunteer with?
a. Candice: Go Green Garden
b. Christine: Go Green Garden
c. Hailey: Vermicomposting at Insect World
4. Why did you come back to be a Green Teen this year?
a. Candice: Because I had so much fun last year
b. Christine: I enjoy volunteering at the zoo and being around other green teens
c. Hailey: Because I always have a lot of fun here and I like being near animals
5. What is your favorite memory/story from working at the Zoo this summer?
a. Candice: While transporting the worm bin back and forth between Insect World, giving brief synopsis on vermicomposting to everyone who is interested, and reaching people who might not normally be interested in composting.
b. Christine: Helping a family learn how to start vermicomposting at their own house
c. Hailey: At Insect World, getting little kids excited about the worms and interested in composting
6. What is your favorite exhibit or animal at the zoo?
a. Candice: Manatees and CREW
b. Christine: Manatee Springs
c. Hailey: Wolves and Painted Dogs
7. What is one skill you will take away from this experience?
a. Candice: Public Speaking
b. Christine: Keeping calm with large groups of people
c. Hailey: Public Speaking, and learning to shorten my stories
8. What are your future Career Plans? What do you hope to study in college?
a. Candice: Wants to major in biology and maybe work with CREW one day
b. Christine: Wants to major in biology in college so she can be a zoologist for National Geographic
c. Hailey: Wants to be an exhibit interpreter or run her own animal training business
9. If you could have everyone perform one conservation action, what would it be?
a. Candice: Stop mining all together
b. Christine: For everyone to recycle
c. Hailey: For everyone to compost and recycle and reduce what goes to the landfill
10. What advice would you give future Green Teens?
a. Candice: Read the info packet, practice speaking, and have fun!
b. Christine: Keep up to date on what's going on at the zoo
c. Hailey: Get to know your audience
These young ladies, along with 17 other teens, have increased their public speaking skills, customer service skills, and knowledge about sustainability. With these young men and women, the Zoo is able to continue to share its story about being the "Greenest Zoo in America."
The Zoo's VolunTeen program is open to teens ages 13-17 with opportunities such as the Green Teens as well as opportunities in Horticulture, Education, and with T.R.I.B.E. For more information, visit http://cincinnatizoo.org/support/volunteer/ and click on the VolunTeens Tab.

Animal Crossing: City Folk Review
More bells, more problems.
Actually, City Folk deserves some credit for trying to mitigate the painful process of collecting the same items all over again by letting you import save data from Animal Crossing: Wild World. This feature essentially makes most pieces of furniture, wallpaper, carpets, and special items from the former game immediately available in Tom Nook's store catalog. No, it doesn't make your house larger, nor does it automatically fill Blathers' museum with Wild World's artifacts or constellations -- which makes sense, since you need a reason to actually play this game -- but it's nice that all those hours spent in Wild World haven't completely gone to waste. You still have to earn bells to purchase these old items and replenish your collection on top of paying your debt to Mr. Nook.
City Folk introduces no interesting ways to navigate these processes, though. You get to engage in the same usual techniques -- the slow and methodical selling of extra items or excess fish, insects, fossils, and fruit...or the quick-and-dirty transfer of funds from a wealthier player in another town. In fact -- thanks to a new neighboring city area filled with storefronts -- City Folk largely delivers more creative ways to spend bells than to make them. Sadly, some of its establishments and patrons are simple retreads of storefronts and characters from previous Animal Crossing gamesâ??the theater's now where you learn emotes from Dr. Shrunk, while the shady store is actually just Redd's. And does Animal Crossing really need another store with even more overpriced goods?
The auction house is one of the few reasons to return to the city, as auctions commence at specific times during the week. Not only can you put your own items up, but you can also bid on other items beamed across WiiConnect 24 from other towns. The Happy Room Academy office is another point of interest, if not for the sole reason that you can get a better idea of what makes a good room, and even get ideas from sample rooms that appear in the back area of the building. Aside from that, the city area's pretty lacking -- even the other visitors provide little incentive to make more than one trip per day (if that), since they all tend to repeat the same things over and over, and rarely give any useful information or insight into upcoming events. And it certainly doesn't help the city becomes unavailable when visiting another player's town -- if you want to visit, you have to go back to your own town and then hop onto the bus.
Still, online play is definitely worth jumping into, especially if you've shelled out for the WiiSpeak speakerphone peripheral. During most of our online experience, voices came in loud and clear. Lag was hardly an issue, but it's worth pointing out that this feature makes emotes (and to a lesser extent, bulletin board posts and letters) less useful. It's also fun to see what friends are up to, and to see if they're willing to part with items missing from your own collection. Of course, the process of entering Wii friend codes is still relatively clunky; it would've been nice for the city area to have served as some sort of online meet-up hub.
Ultimately, it comes down to this: Do you really wanna spend the time doing all of the things you already spent so much time on in Wild World? And do you want to do them in almost the exact same ways? City Folk just seems like a huge missed opportunityâ??either that, or a lazy cash-in on Nintendo's newfound casual audience. If it's the former, they ought to just call it Wii Mortgage Payments.

Hi I'm Bridie,
My husband Ben and I developed and rent Jack's Cottage. We have traveled a lot, all over the world, staying in all sorts of places, so when we found Jack's Cottage we knew we could create a unique and special place for other travelers to enjoy. We have been hosting people here for 15 years and would love to share it with you. Staying here is a wonderful experience, it is really off the beaten track so it's very tranquil and peaceful. Most people are so relaxed when they leave, its almost as if they are floating on air. It really does have a magical quality.

I made this cake for my nieces baby shower. Using a square cake, I covered the cake with pink & white fondants (yes, it's a girl!) I made the dangling playthings and flowers from gum paste. I covered a 3/8" plastic bendabel tube with fondant and stuck into the corners. I added a small baby for the center. It turned out great!

Bear in mind that film transport noise will be different depending on how the last owner stored the camera, how heavily it was used, whether it has had a CLA, etc.
Shutters are likely to be much the same across different examples, providing that their speeds are accurate.
Those soundproof "blimp" arrangements were available for Pentax as well, I've seen a photo of one for an MX and heard that they existed for the ME and possibly earlier models too. Very rare now, and usually mistaken for an unusual ever-ready case.

I thought this product was okay overall, but not for me. I have naturally long, thick eyelashes, but they are BLONDE! So, my main things are a) I don't look like a whore with bad lashes b) my lashes don't come out c) My lashes are visible/dark d) my lashes are defined.
Unfortunetly, this clumped my lashes together so they were an uneven fringe. I mean, this made them stick together like glue. I was also not subtle and natural.
Just not for me!

I LOVE this mascara. There was all this rage about it and my 2000 calorie was running out, so i popped into Woolworthes and got this on special for $13! It volumizes, and doesn't flake or smudge! I was a bit wary of the rubber brush, seeing as they are usually made for length and seperation - but this was different to the define-a-lash thin one! It seperates AND volumizes And best of all clump & flakeless. The only bad point is that the actual bottle is too fat, and the brush is hard to hold. Apart from that, i'd definately repurchase!

I've been using this mascara for 6 months now and I really like it. It visibly lengthens my lashes and has NEVER clumped on me, unlike every other mascara I've used. I will definitely continue to buy this.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair-Medium, Not Sure

I have a love/hate relationship with this product. I've purchased it twice and I only give it a 3. With all the mascaras out there, you're probably wondering why, I would re-purchase a mascara that I would give such a mediocre rating...Well, for two reasons: 1. I ran out of my current mascara and the closest Sephora is 40 minutes away...I did not plan ahead of time :); 2. I knew what I was getting, I wasn't interested in trying a bunch of other drugstore mascaras and playing hit or miss for the next couple of days.
The problem I find with this mascara is not the the formula itself, it's the stupid cumbersome wand. This thing must have been designed by a man who thinks that bigger is better. The very first time I put that thing in my hand it was awkward. The end of the wand that you hold as you're applying is tapered, so I cannot tell you how many times that thing has slipped out between my fingers and fallen to the floor or into my lap.
Another thing that I dislike is the tip of the wand. It's too big to efficiently get into the corners of my eyes, and the little spikes to separate lashes on the very tip of the wand are barely existent (resulting in a lot of product buildup)...the combination of those two factors result in heavy clumping at the inner corners of my eyes and criss-crossed lashes.
I really think that if they re-designed the wand for LB, this would be a much better product, because like I said I think that the formula is great. I personally don't have problems with flaking, smudging, raccoon eyes...nothing like that. The mascara does give my nice looking lashes; much fuller than a lot of other mascaras. If I used a lash comb after using this stuff, my eyelashes usually look pretty amazing. The wand just sucks...it's too big, too clumsy and not efficient.

I was very disappointed, but mostly because I have heard such raving reviews about it so had my hopes high. It isn't a bad product. It is just not that great.
I am still looking for my dream mascara.

Sooo not impressed. :P The wand is horrible, the whole package is too chunky to maneuver properly and the product itself is sticky and clumpy. It remained sticky all day too. Yuck. Will not repurchase. Will probably just toss, actually. :P

Curling your lashes makes all the difference! My friend even asked if I was wearing fake eyelashes! Doesn't leave clumps and extends your lashes

This is a good product, I haven't had any problems with clumping or sticking. I can't comment on length as my lashes are very long but I don't believe in lengthing claims. It doesn't smudge or leave little black pearls in my tearducts like some more expensive mascaras.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Oily, Fair-Medium, Not Sure

I really like this product
i love the way that it didn't clumps on my lashes
and it do really the way that it volumize my lashes
i do really recommend this mascara :)!

Coating Materials
Driven by escalating U.S. health and environmental concerns, the global antimicrobial coatings market is expected to surge by nearly 10 percent annually and top $4.5 billion by 2020, a new study forecasts.
Growing demand for medical device coatings is expected to remain a key market driver over the next six years, according to "Antimicrobial Coatings Market Analysis And Segment Forecasts To 2020," just released by San Francisco-based Grand View Research Inc.
Antimicrobial industrial floor systems can kill mold, mildew, fungi, yeast, algae and bacteria.
Market penetration for products that enhance indoor air quality is also expected to grow, mainly in the United States, the report finds.
Antimicrobial coatings are used on a variety of surfaces—from industrial flooring to architectural and medical components—to protect surfaces and humans from parasites, bacteria, germs, fungi and other micro-organisms.
Key Findings and Players
Segmented by product, application and region, the report includes these highlights:
Products that enhance indoor air quality are the leading application market for antimicrobial coatings, according to the report by Global View Research.
Challenges Ahead
Raw materials and regulations will remain the sector's biggest challenges.
Antimicrobial products like AST Products' RepelaCOAT, for medical devices, will remain a booming market.
Stringent regulatory scenarios are likely to continue in Europe and the U.S., due to increasing health concerns over the use of silver in the coatings and the issues and costs associated with product registration.
In addition, volatile prices of silver and other raw materials are also expected to dampen profitability, the report found.

The All-American Rejects New Single on iTunes
The All-American Rejects' new song "Kids in the Street" is now available on iTunes.
Submitted by Turkeylegz
AAR - make me some more catchy tunes plz
For the first 10 seconds I thought I was listening to an Angels and Airwaves song aha
All the songs I've heard off this record so far have been growers, but more than any of the others this one just seems boring. Maybe I just need to get more familiar with the lyrics. Someday's Gone is still my favourite thus far though.
Meh... I Liked "Beekeeper's Daughter" more. Who is this female vocalist that is seemingly doing backing vocals on all their songs now?
I know they didn't steal this in any way, but the lyrics "We used to laugh, we used to cry" were the original blink demo lyrics for "Not Now," I believe.
Also funny considering the AVA comment above.
Turned it off about halfway in. Loved every other track released so far, and still have high hopes for the album, but this was a snoozefest.
Cant wait to hear this...tempted to start playing it during class.
from the acoustic part to the end i really like, the rest is fine, could've used more guitar work in my opinion, i don't know, just feels like this song had more potential that wasn't reached, the teaser video for the album made this song feel like it'd be so much more, but maybe it'll grow on me, still excited to hear the rest of the album, 2 weeks left, surprised it hasn't leaked to be honest
This album rules. Easily their best.
Its not as catchy as the rest.
But I love the lyrics.
It seems like AAR and maybe The Killers are the only rock bands that can have mainstream success as of lately that came from the 2003-2007 era.
You've heard it?
so excited to hear this album.

Truworths meets forecasts, shares surgeComment on this story
Johannesburg - South Africa's biggest-listed clothes retailer Truworths broadly met forecasts with a slight growth in annual profit though the increase was at its slowest pace since 1999 as debt-laden consumers spend guardedly.
Truworths, which sells about three quarters of its products via its own store credit cards, said headline earnings per share edged up 1.5 percent to 569.3 cents in the year ended June, largely in line with a 570 cents estimate in a Reuters poll of 13 analysts.
Headline earnings per share, the most widely watched profit measure in South Africa, strips out certain one off items.
Shares in the Cape Town-based company surged 5 percent to 69 rand by 15:38 SA time, outpacing a slightly weaker All-share index. - Reuters

An obituary for jazz musician Clark Terry, the subject of "Keep On Keepin' On."
On June 21, 2014, "Life Itself" opened the Hamptons Film Festival at Guild Hall in East Hampton, New York. RogerEbert.com publisher Chaz Ebert and editor-in-chief Matt Zoller Seitz were guests at the event and participated in a post-screening Q&A with Alec Baldwin and Hamptons Film Festival artistic director David Nugent afterward.
Los Angeles is a behemoth or, better, an octopus, with tentacles stretching 468.67 square miles, a fact that shocked me when I moved here in 1990. That meant that it was bigger than the distance consumed by driving to and from Chicago from my hometown, Kewanee (150 miles southwest), and back again. I soon realized that one could easily live an entire lifetime in Los Angeles and never see it all. This also meant that so much was always going on, including really desirable events, many of which would most certainly be missed.
The grand Poobah writes: I have been assured by many posters on my video games blog entry that it took decades for the cinema to gain recognition as an art form. Untrue. Among the first to admire it was Leo Tolstoy, and I reprinted his late 19th-century reaction in my Book of Film. In 1908, Tolstoy and his family appeared in an early motion picture, and if you saw The Last Station (2009) you may want to compare your memories with the real thing. Here is some information about those in the film.
The Last Station (2009) Director Michael Hoffman. Cast: James McAvoy, Helen Mirren, Christopher Plummer, Paul Giamatti and Kerry Condon."The Last Station" focuses on the last year of Count Tolstoy (Christopher Plummer), a full-bearded Shakespearian figure presiding over a household of intrigues. The chief schemer is Chertkov (Giamatti), his intense follower, who idealistically believes Tolstoy should leave his literary fortune to the Russian people. It's just the sort of idea that Tolstoy might seize upon in his utopian zeal. Sofya (Helen Mirren), on behalf of herself and her children, is livid." - Ebert. You can read Roger's full review HERE.

After you have sex with men who have penis 7 inch long, after that you have sex with men who have penis 5 inch long,is that mean that you will got better penetration with the 7 inch long or it doesn't matter ?
Is that true that 7 inch penis is better than the 5 inch?
What Girls Said 1
I've gone from someone 7inches to someone who can only reach 6inches on a VERY good day. I've noticed no difference, other than I enjoy sex with my current partner more than I did with my previous one. Not every woman cares about a man's penis size. Also, nobody cares how big your d*** is if you can't use it correctly.
Haha pwned
What Guys Said 2
From what I have heard from women, 5 in is the absolute minimum that they would be in a relationship with. Anything below is too small. I have also heard more than a few say that even 6 is too small.
I am 7 myself, but I wish I was bigger. Can't help it, I think if a guy isn't hung he wants to be. Thought I have never had any complaints about my size.

I am a developer at Microsoft and work in the .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR) team. For the last 4 years I have been working on virtual machine technologies on a variety of form factors including desktops (Windows, Linux), tablets (Win8), gaming-consoles (Xbox 360), mobile devices (Windows Phone 7, Windows CE, Symbian).I have worked on various core pieces of the runtime including Garbage Collector, memory manager, platform abstraction layer, runtime-performance, etc.Before working on .NET I worked on Visual Studio Team Foundation Server, Visual Studio Team System, Adobe Framemaker, Adobe Acrobat, Texas Instrument's Code Composer Studio.
Two days have gone by and the TSunami death toll is rising. Its already 12500 in India with thousands more missing. The state of Andhra Pradesh where the Microsoft India center is based is also one of the worst hit states with hundreds of people dead along the coastal region of the state. MS has also joined into the relief operation by giving funds and matching employee contributions.
On another note one of the worst hit areas of India the Andaman and Nicobar islands are also home to some of the rarest tribes on our planet. With the most isolated community on earth the Sentinelese living here. Many of the tribes living in remote islands have only 100 in population and might have gone extinct after this natural disaster. Government is yet to reach these islands and find out. Sentinelese and Jarawa community also does not establish contact with any outsiders and no one knows what has happened to them.

The Prime Minister of Japan has announced that he will resign after resolving the country's tsunami and nuclear crisis, in a desperate bargain to head off a backbench rebellion that threatened to destroy his party and force a snap election.
The decision means that Japan is likely to have its sixth prime minister in five years, and will bring prolonged political confusion when the country is struggling to deal with the aftermath of the March earthquake and tsunami and the continuing crisis at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant.

Next Wednesday is Veterans' Day here in the U.S. In Canada and the United Kingdom the day is known as Remembrance Day. Before that, it was Armistice Day, to commemorate the end of World War I.
When I was a child, I remember the Veterans of Foreign Wars selling artificial poppies to commemorate the day. The poppies were small, to be worn on the lapel or like a brooch, as a symbol of remembrance for the service – and sacrifice – of our military.

A publication of the Archaeological Institute of America
African Coins Could Rewrite Australia's Past
Tuesday, May 21, 2013
(Courtesy IUPUI)INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA—In 1944, while stationed on Australia's Wessel Islands, soldier Maurie Isenberg discovered five 1,000-year-old copper coins thought to have been minted in the former Kilwa sultanate, a trading port on an island off the coast of Tanzania. Isenberg marked the spot where he found the coins on a map, and in 1979, donated them to an Australian museum. Now Ian McIntosh of Indiana University wants to know how the coins got to the northern coast of Australia. The coins may have washed ashore from a shipwreck, or there may have been maritime trading routes linking east Africa, Arabia, India, and the Spice Islands to Australia long before Europeans made the trip. McIntosh plans to excavate Isenberg's site this summer.

Man Caught Speeding Arrested on Drug Charges
A 38 year old Smithville man was arrested by the DeKalb County Sheriff's Department Thursday when officers found him with drugs after trying to stop him for speeding.
Ernest Paul (Hot Rod) Barnwell of Hawkins Drive was charged with possession of a schedule II drug (Dilaudid) for sale and delivery, possession of a schedule III drug (Suboxone) for sale and delivery, possession of drug paraphernalia, 3rd offense of driving on a revoked license, and possession of brass knucks which is a prohibited weapon.
Sheriff Patrick Ray says on Thursday while on an extra patrol on King Ridge Road, Dowelltown, a deputy spotted a 1993 Dodge Intrepid driving at a high rate of speed. The officer attempted to stop the vehicle but the driver kept going. The car turned onto New Home Road and stopped at a residence. The driver, Barnwell, exited the vehicle and ran behind a house and attempted to enter the residence through the backdoor.
Officers found a container on Barnwell containing 17 Dilaudid pills and 1 Suboxone pill. They also found in Barnwell's car, a duffle bag containing 2 syringes and a set of brass knucks. In addition, officers discovered that Barnwell was driving on a revoked license.
Barnwell's bond was set at $111,000 and he will appear in court on February 19th.
Deputies also seized Barnwell's vehicle and $48 in cash.
Meanwhile on Friday deputies responded to a fight call on Potts Camp Road, Smithville in the Jefferson Community.
Upon arrival, Sheriff Ray says the officers found 46 year old Joseph Allen Maples, 36 year old Louise Ann Gorney, and 18 year old Timothy Christopher Schanck of Potts Camp Road, Smithville, and a 17 year old male, who was visiting, in an intoxicated state.
After investigating, officers discovered that Gorney had bought a 12 pack of beer and brought it to the Potts Camp home where she and her boyfriend, Maples, allowed Schanck and the 17 year old to consume the alcohol knowing the two were under the legal drinking age of 21.
Maples and Gorney were charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Their bond was set at $1,500 each. Schanck was charged with under age consumption and his bond was set at $1,000. All three will appear in court on February 12th. A petition will be taken on the juvenile for underage consumption.
On Thursday, deputies stopped 24 year old Joshua R. Cripps of Hodges Road, Smithville on Highway 56 South for driving with his lights off after dark.

J.N. Ding Darling Refuge, Sanibel Island
1 Reviews
1 Reviews
Favorite thing:
Okay, so maybe I'm crazy, but I managed to visit Universal Studios Islands of Adventures and the Everglades in the three days we had in Sanibel.
We also visited the J Ding Wild life refuge that is on Sanibel, which has lots of birds and we did see one alligator as we drove through. It has a nice visitor center with things for kids to do.
We tried to take the evening boat ride that goes through the J. Ding area, but the tide was too low and we couldn't get out. Please check with the company when booking that you can get out, as we were not offered a full refund once it was determined that the boat could not get out. We had to pay $4 each for a small aquarium talk that they did beforehand, which we would not have otherwise done. Considering the time we spent on the boat trying to leave and the time in line to get our money back, I thought we should have been offered a full refund.
Fondest memory: Universal Studios/Orlando is about four hours away, so we left at 5:00 a.m., got there by 9:00 a.m., and were back by about 11:00 p.m. If you have kids who might get antsy on a long beach trip and don't mind a drive, I'd recommend Islands of Adventure (make sure to get there early and do Spiderman first!). My kids loved this park. For those less adventurous, Busch Gardens in Tampa is two hours away and is supposed to be great.
The Everglades (Everglades City) to be exact is about an hour away. We took an airboat ride, a boat ride (saw manatees!!!), and a so-called safari ride where we saw alligators. We also visited an alligator farm where the kids got to hold alligators.
