Vitamin C is one of the most powerful age fighters available which is why it is the basis for the Topix Citrix line. Topix Citrix relies on L'Ascorbic Acid which is Vitamin C in a very potent and stable form. Vitamin C is an antioxidant proven to help diminish the signs of aging and protect the skin against future cell damage from natural environmental elements such as the sun. Topix Citrix is a comprehensive anti-aging line that tackles all of the common signs of maturing skin. Fine lines, wrinkles, loss of elasticity and discoloration can all be improved with regular use of Topix Citrix products.
Topix Citrix combines Vitamin C with green tea (another powerful antioxidant), citrus extracts and growth factors to formulate an anti-aging power house. With regular use, the skin becomes tighter and smoother with an overall radiance.
Topix Citrix is a complete line of skin care that includes a cleanser, toner, treatment pads, body lotion, sunscreen and eye cream as well as treatment serums. Topix Citrix offers unbeatable protection against the damaging effects of genetic aging as well as the environment. Topix Citrix arms the skin with everything necessary to repair and heal itself as well as protect itself from further harm.
Natural, gentle ingredients effectively combat signs of aging. That's why Topix Citrix products consist of ingredients such as Vitamin C, green tea extract, citrus extract, and growth factors. These gentle ingredients reduce the signs of aging and encourage the development of healthy, refreshed skin. With a full line of products to choose from, you can find a Topix Citrix product that is right for you.
Healthy, younger-looking skin is attainable with Topix Citrix CRS 20% Serum with Growth Factor. Featuring TGF-Beta-1, this serum stimulates collagen growth and strengthens tissue structure, creating younger-looking skin. Preliminary research indicates that collagen increases by 30% and wrinkles lessen by 50% after using Topix Citrix CRS 20% Serum with Growth Factor. The serum's anti-aging properties make it a must for anyone looking to turn back time and create younger, healthier skin.
The skin under the eyes is sensitive, requiring a cream specially formulated for this area. Topix Citrix Antioxidant Eye Cream uses cucumber and chamomile extracts to soothe the under-eye area. Antioxidants, including Liposomal Vitamins A, C, and E and green tea extract, minimize skin damage and restore healthy skin around the eyes. This effective formula is gentle enough to use daily to soothe this delicate area.
Soap-based facial cleansers can irritate the skin, leaving it dry. Topix Citrix Antioxidant Cleanser is a gentle cleanser that treats the skin without drying it out. The cleanser features Liposomal Vitamins A, C, and E, green tea extract, and Co-Q10, which help to restore healthy skin. Topix Citrix Antioxidant Cleanser has a fresh, delicate scent; the product is scented with light, natural citrus extracts.

Pink Floyd star Roger Waters is facing a boycott ahead of his upcoming show in Germany after he beamed a Star of David symbol onto a flying inflatable pig during a recent gig.
The rocker, who called for a boycott of Israel earlier this year, came under fire from Jewish groups after he flashed the symbol onto the stage prop during a The Wall Live Tour concert in Belgium earlier this month.
Now Jewish leaders in Germany have called on followers to snub Waters' performance in Dusseldorf on 6 September over the stunt.
Michael Szentei-Heise, director of the Jewish Community in Dusseldorf, claims the musician is an "intellectual arsonist" whose stage act used "anti-Semitic and National Socialist imagery".
The imagery was especially powerful as the Jewish faith prohibits followers from consuming pork products.

Jay Z and Beyoncé have reportedly turned down an invitation to attend Kanye West and Kim Kardashian's wedding.
West is set to tie the knot with the reality TV star in Paris, France next month and reports suggest they will marry in secret in Los Angeles ahead of their extravagant ceremony in the French capital.
However, West's regular collaborator Jay Z and his wife Beyoncé will not be attending the nuptials, so the "Big Pimpin'" hitmaker will throw a pre-wedding party for his friend at his New York club 40/40, according to Britain's The Sun newspaper.
PHOTOS: 13 photos of Kanye West looking angry for no reason
The publication reports Jay Z is also planning to spend $160,000 on chartering a yacht for the couple's honeymoon.
A source says, "Jay Z would be there if it wasn't going to be such a public event. Instead he's making it up to his mate by throwing him the most extravagant stag do (party) known to man.
"It will cost a small fortune – and to top it all off he's chucked (thrown) a $160,000 yacht rental in there as a wedding gift as well."

Summary:As the FBI scrambles to save the life of the kidnapped daughter of the Chinese Consul, the diplomat hires trusted Hong Kong police detective Lee to find the girl. Unwilling to have their investigation invaded by a meddling outsider, the FBI assigns a rogue LAPD detective to keep Detective Lee away from the case at any cost. Carter, the detective, covertly embarks on a one-man crusade to solve the case, having first distracted Lee. Within hours, Carter realises he has greatly underestimated his Hong Kong counterpart, who has seen through his ruse, given Carter the slip, and landed in the middle of the FBI's investigation.

Even with the most effective and rigorous daily cleansing and toning routine, skin can become dull and uneven over time. Dead skin cells remain on the surface of the skin, clogging pores and causing breakouts and blemishes. Tiny particles of grime and make-up residue can build up, causing skin to sag and creating fine lines and wrinkle. The barrier formed by these dead cells and dirt particles prevents optimal absorption of moisturizers and lotions. AHAVA Exfoliators remove this build up of impurities, clarifying the skin and enabling it to receive maximum benefit from other products in your skin care regime.
Over the centuries, mineral-infused sedimentary clay has built up on the shores of the Dead Sea, while the water has developed an exceptionally high salinity. People travel from far and wide to bathe in the Dead Sea. The mud and salt from this exceptional region are the key ingredients in AHAVA Exfoliators. Thoroughly tested in AHAVA's laboratories and clinically proven to deliver visible results, these exclusive products combine the best of science and nature. AHAVA Exfoliators have been dermatologically tested and are suitable for the most sensitive skin.
Exfoliation is required across your face and body to remove dead skin cells and stimulate the body's natural regeneration and renewal cycles. AHAVA Exfoliators offer tailored solutions for the face and body to ensure that you can gently and thoroughly exfoliate from head to toe. Skin is then better able to absorb the nutrients, vitamins, and minerals in the moisturizers and body lotions that form part of your regular beauty routine.
Energize tired, lifeless skin with AHAVA Softening Butter Salt Scrub. This exotically-scented exfoliating cream transforms into a light, hydrating lotion on contact with water. Providing a unique 3-in-1 action, this luscious body scrub exfoliates, moisturizes, and protects against the effects of aging. Jojoba, coconut, and sesame seed oils combine with Dunaliella algae to deliver natural vitality direct to the skin. As this luxurious exfoliator removes dead skins cells and dirt particles, scents of mandarin and cedar wood are released to enhance wellbeing.
Expose the true radiance of your complexion with AHAVA Mud Exfoliator. As you massage a dime-sized amount of this mineral-infused product over your wet face, tiny granules in the Dead Sea mud gently and thoroughly remove impurities. Rinse off with warm water to wash away dead skin cells and dirt particles that clog pores and create a dull, uneven complexion. The antioxidant power of vitamin E repairs the damage caused by aging and the environment, while Dead Sea salt comforts and treats the skin. With regular use, your complexion will become clearer, brighter, and visibly younger.

Do you ever think wistfully about the good old days, back when people wrote each other notes on something called paper? Using a strange, pointy instrument called a pen. And then they put those notes in the mailbox with stamps on the envelope, and hoped that the recipients would take out their lavender monogrammed paper and reply. And this was called writing letters.
It took time and was an art form. In carefully chosen phrases or hasty scrawls, emotions were carried by the tone of the handwriting itself. Writers communicated their hopes, dreams, and daily doings in forms of politeness long forgotten, including things like greetings and signatures to open and close their messages.
Not that long ago, when I was in college (okay, fine, it was 20 years ago, but in the history of writing, that's not a very long time), I wrote letters all the time. And because I wrote them, I also received them. I have a box full of them from old boyfriends that I can't bear either to throw away or to read, a whole drawer of them from my best friend since forever that I get a kick out of rereading occasionally. Now that I'm older, and I type about three times faster than I write, I rarely write letters any more. It's all email this and blog post that and cell phone call while driving.
But I miss it.
At Christmastime, I don't send out a photo card to everyone I know with a typed letter about the family's doings. Instead, I buy one box of cards, 20-25 of them, and I hand write notes only to the people who are out of town and who I wish I kept in better touch with all year round. One friend told me a few years ago that mine is the only handwritten card she gets the entire season any more. Which also means that last year she got no handwritten cards because last year I was so busy grading papers right up until my semester ended on Dec 22 that I never got around to writing cards at all.
I deeply regret that and have promised myself that I will make up for this gap by writing even better, more thoughtful cards this year.
I am always looking for the perfect cards to send. I want them to be beautiful -- either with a touch of elegance or with an old-fashioned feel to them somehow. I want them to be big enough to contain a real letter, since I don't just write a sentence or two and sign for the family; I write several paragraphs a piece. And I want them to come in an envelope sized right to contain a picture of the kids, rather than some awkward size that needs extra postage but won't fit a photograph. Most of all, they can't be pre-printed with the words "Merry Christmas" or have any design that's predominantly red and green or feature a decorated tree or hanging stockings or a jolly rotund man with a beard.
Why? you might reasonably ask.
Because nearly half the cards I send out are going to dear friends who are Jewish or Muslim or otherwise don't celebrate Christmas.
These cards are my holiday moment of connection, my time to slow down, really think about friends and family, and write the old fashioned way. But it's almost impossible to find cards that meet my criteria around the holidays. (And that is part of why I never sent any out last year; I couldn't found ones I liked in time.)
Until now. (Full disclosure: yes, this is a product review coming up. Trust me that you want to read it because you will want these cards. And at the end of it, you will get the chance to have them. For FREE. So, carry on.)
Seriously, you absolutely must do yourself a favor and check out the most wonderful card company I have ever found. It's called Tiny Prints. What they don't have in beautiful designs hasn't been designed yet in the history of the world. And what they don't have in customer service? Well, if they don't have it, no one does. (Just to be clear: they aren't paying me anything to write this, only offering a giveaway for you.)
First of all, they have hundreds of designs -- holiday cards, photo cards, birth announcements, thank you notes, even Halloween party invitations. And their designs come in a range of styles from classic to cute, elegant to juicy pop art. There are mod designs with color combinations like chocolate brown with baby blue and raspberry with lime. And there are dozens and dozens of holiday cards with snowflakes and other wintery themes that don't necessarily scream "Christmas."
But what makes Tiny Prints so superlative is that every single one of their designs is customizable at no extra charge. THIS is a company that is really thinking. The card whose snowflake graphic looks non-denominationally festive but whose front says "Merry Christmas"? Well, that phrase is in a text box, so that if you love the design, you can make just a few clicks of your mouse and change that phrase to say anything you want. I am not even slighly exaggerating. You could change it to "Happy Holidays from the Time Family" or "Wishing you a Happy New Year" or "Buy Your Snowblower Yet?" (There are some designs whose cover phrases are graphics rather than text, but I've played around a lot on this site, and I can tell you that I've found far more of them that are editable than aren't.) You can upload photos, customize messages, even change the color that the message will be printed in -- and on some cards, even change the font! Here's what I managed in five minutes with that snow card:
Tiny Prints is a company that has figured out what most greeting card companies simply don't get: one size does not fit all when it comes to greeting cards. The only reason I haven't ordered from them yet is that I love too many cards to narrow down. Also, all my pictures of Son and Daughter together include at least one child with crossed eyes. Thankfully, if that's my only problem, Tiny Prints has solved that too by having some card designs with more than one picture on the front. Can't get all your children looking equally great in the same photo? No problem. Just upload two photos, or three, or four depending on the card you choose.
I am planning on ordering not only holiday cards from them this year, but also some personal stationery. I've fallen in love with several of their "thank you" card designs. And because the text boxes on these lovelies are ones I can edit, it will just take me a little tap tap tap on my keyboard to change the line to a monogram or my name. Now I just have to make up my mind between these:
I only wish these images half did justice to the beautiful quality and feel of the actual cards. (I have samples of both of these sitting on my couch as I type.)
Want to know the best part of all this? You can have Tiny Prints for your very own! Oh, so many Tiny Prints. When they contacted me and asked if I would consider reviewing their product, I said I would be willing to consider it if they would provide something for you, dear readers. And here's where I learned how much this company really cares about its customers.
First of all, Tiny Prints is giving one lucky reader at Mommy's Martini a $75 gift card to their store. I KNOW. So generous. And trust me when I say that you will have a hard time narrowing down all the cards you love to make your final choices. They sent me a few samples of different types of cards -- flat, folded, photo cards, invitations, personalized notecards, and even children's thank you notes with fun graphics. The quality is fantastic. They are on heavy stock with that lovely, matte, faintly slick finish that you sometimes find on the covers of very nice paper backs. The paper is appealing to your fingers and takes ink beautifully (oh, yes, I scrawled on a few samples). The graphics are crisp and the photo cards of really superior resolution.
And on top of all this, I would be remiss if I didn't tell you that the business development representative who contacted me was beyond patient and kind. He was geniunely interested. We even struck up an email conversation about what people really want in greeting cards: he actually asked me whether I thought something he had read was true: are there inherent gendered differences in what men and women want their cards to say? I'll spare you our discussion but do want to emphasize that this is clearly a company whose philosophy is all about finding out what customers want and need. (Along those lines, the only negative thing I could possibly find to say about them is that it took me a while of playing on the site to figure out that the cards in the "Merry Christmas" section, for example, in fact had editable cover phrases that could be changed to whatever I wanted. The fact that they are so innovative about customizing, letting you do far more than just add your name to their pre-set design should be highlighted more prominently on the site, with clearer indications up front about just how many choices people have. But seriously, the problem is only one of modesty. And a company that doesn't toot its own horn enough about its innovations? That's pretty rare and impressive.)
I also have to tell you that Tiny Prints is just plain awesome in its generosity. The rep offered a giveaway for you, and then at the eleventh hour, when I wasn't sure the large amount had been approved, I suggested that if the company didn't want to turn over a $75 gift card, they might prefer a gift card in a smaller amount plus a little donation to the DonorsChoose site. It was my thought that in October, I could have "Help Our Schools Saturdays" -- putting up review posts of products that I thought you would love that come from companies that are also socially aware.
Know what he said in response?
"At this time, we'd like to move forward with the $75 giveaway, but I will submit an approval for a donation."
Absolutely no kidding. His company believes in the power of word-of-mouth (word-of-blog?) support so much that they still want a lucky one of you to have $75 to try them out AND he will try to add to that with a donation to help out some school children.
Now THAT is a company I want to give business to.
So, here's what you have to do: go to Tiny Prints and browse around. Come back and leave me a comment naming a card you would choose if you won the $75. One card style = one entry in the drawing, and you can't name any of the styles I've shown here. For a second entry into the random drawing for the $75 prize, mention a second card in a different category that you also like. (For example, the first might be a holiday card, the second a thank you note.) That's it. A few minutes of browsing a site I promise you will fall in love with, then back here to leave a comment. Let's see how many comments we can rack up by Monday. I suspect if Tiny Prints gets enough traffic from this post, the kids at some needy school will benefit too. What could be better?
Random drawing for the $75 prize will happen next Friday night (Oct. 10), with the winner announced on the next day's Help Our Schools Saturdays post.

MT, I am in your debt! Again! I am an inveterate letterwriter - I just LOVE the smell and feel of stationery. In fact, Mr F recently discovered the true extent of my love of all things writer-y when he found my 'little' box of cards had grown to suitcase size. If I see the perfect card or paper, I *have* to get it ready for the perfect occasion.
A new little store has opened in our little town.... just stationery. I haven't dared to pass through the doors yet, for fear I will be lost for hours. Or perhaps days.
Perhaps it's because I have so many elderly relatives who (gasp!) don't have email, but rarely a day goes by without The Box being opened.
Tiny Prints is GREAT! And only $9 to ship to Canada - even better. I love the Dino Parade, and Mistletoe Moment - can't decide which!

Hello? Tiny Print. I like cards.

I was going to say that I like the stitched flowers, but you already mentioned it. So my next favorite would be the Winter Floral from the Corporate section.

Well, I'm going to have to go with holiday photo card Bright Branch (though I also like Santa's Sparrow). I'm a sucker for little birds.

I used to have a goal of handwriting a letter once a week to someone - a friend, a grandparent, etc. I kept it up for a while but slowly fell out of the habit. I've been thinking lately about starting it up again. It's kind of amazing how you will eventually get a handwritten note back. :D
Tiny Prints really does have a great selection of all types of cards. My favorite Christmas card isn't even one that has room for a photo. It's the Cheerful Carolers. They remind me of years gone by. I also like your choice of thank you cards but my personal favorite is the Summer Garden design.

Oh my goodness. I love stationary! I also love reading your blog! I stop by daily. Just to let you know! So, hello from Texas.
I am always looking for new places to buy cards for any and all occasions. My choice for a holiday card would have to be Striped Mittens.
I am looking around and know that there is some other card I would love to have, but I just cannot choose. Do I decide to have that Halloween party and therefore choose a halloween invitation? Do I choose an invitation for my December Bunco party? So many things to plan for and to need stationary for and so many choices.
Thanks for letting us who did not know about Tiny Prints in on the secret. I will be visiting often.

Oooooh, I adore the Love Tree holiday card. Simple. And with most of my family not celebrating Christmas, they're my choice for my cards this year.
And for Shortman's graduation Thank Yous... Classic Monogram. It's just perfect for a 17 year old boy.
You're absolutely right - special, special cards.

My husband says, are you really looking at Christmas cards already? Aren't the Christmas trees in Lowe's in September enough? But I was seriously thinking about what my approach this year would be. I would LOVE to be able to write notes to everyone. With a gorgeous card like Striped Mittens, maybe I'd feel the need to rise to the occasion!
- October 4, 2008 at 9:12 PM

Oh, and I forgot to mention, if only I had had Butterfly Garden for N's first birthday party last month! Oh well, suppose I win, there's always next year!

Shining Star is gorgeous too. Love the browns. Kind of an unexpected color scheme, yet festive.

Believe it or not, I also am a firm believer in writing notes in my card. No letters, no just photo, but real cards with real notes. But last Christmas I did not do them as i was interviewing for a job in Atlanta up until Dec 21st,, so not a whole lot of extra time.
BTW, I have been a tiny prints fan for a year--we got a beautiful birth announcement designed by them.
In terms of Christmas cards, my favorite is: Holiday Blossoming. I was a little bummed they only had15 cards that opened (rather than just being flat cards)
In term so of the other type, a birth announcement would come in handy. Irrationally convinced that I am having a girl, I am picking the Dandelion Dance birth announcements for girls. If Lila's the name, it's perfect :-) Though, this might be interesting as well: First Day: Peppermint. How to choose?

I also love the blissful bird waterfall but I would order them for my mom for personal thank you cards. so pretty!

My desire is to win the cityscape address labels. I'm a New Yorker and these would be awesome return address labels.
Oh and now a shameless plug for my first October contest on Momtrends. I'm giving away an oh-so-comfy picnic blanket valued at $97.

I don't even think I can explain my love for cards. I must have six or seven different kinds of thank you notes alone. So, you should know that this was like, eyecandy to me and I am now coveting aprox. 53 different designs.
But most of all, I want a holiday photo card - I do one every year for family across the country. And this year, I want Joyful Wishes.
Since I have to send out invites, if I want to rescue attendees from xmas parties (my bday - company party central, meaning no one comes and I drink alone...), I'm going to need some Pink Crown party invitations.
No, really. I do.

I also really like Butterfly Garden in the birthday invites section.

I love the Tinsel Tile flat cards and would order them up immediately if I won the gift card. That way, I could have them waaaaay before the holidays to love and hold and fondle, because I do love fine stationery!!
- October 6, 2008 at 12:02 PM
- Melissa said...
For my second entry, I would have to say that I would order one of the business thank you cards, probably the Chocolate Soiree ones, because they are cute but still quite professional.

Great contest! OHmommy told me about it. I really like Holiday Blossom.
- October 6, 2008 at 3:53 PM
- Fawn said...
Ack! I love these! I think I'd pick "Winter Snowscape" for Christmas -- it's so classy. But since I'm function on only 3 hours sleep, I only looked at about half the designs, so I might have to change my mind. Uh oh, this site is going to be even worse than Cake Wrecks, darn you.
- October 6, 2008 at 6:33 PM
- Fawn said...
And oh my goodness, the "Green Screaming Baby" is hilarious! I could use some of those after Nugget's born!
- October 6, 2008 at 6:34 PM

Oh my goodness - you didn't even mention than they make matching address labels and envelopes and stuff!!!!!

- October 7, 2008 at 6:39 PM
- Beth said...
I love stationery. I love writing letters and getting letters. How exciting is it to see a hand-addressed envelope in the mailbox? Very cool.
I love the Vintage Print Christmas cards, so that's probably what I'd choose if I won. I have the perfect B&W photo of the kids to go on it, too, so I'm crossing my fingers!
- October 7, 2008 at 6:46 PM

I love tiny prints. They have such a beautiful selection of stationary. I can relate to your story about the Xmas cards. My husband is Jewish and I am Catholic and we send "Holiday" cards to both of our families and I used to send two different kinds until my son was born 3 years ago. Finding a neutral, pretty holiday card is hard.
Ok, I would definitely pick the "Blossoming Holiday" card for my family to receive.
Thanks for a chance to win!
- October 7, 2008 at 8:04 PM
- Preppy Mama said...
Ok, for my second pick...my sister is getting married and I would love to give her new stationary in her new monogram so the "Modern Vintage" note cards would be perfect.

This might sound weird, but I kinda like the corporate photo calendar card for our Xmas card. I wish it was a bit smaller but...wouldn't it be cool to give all of the relatives a yearly calendar with your kids pictures on it. Hrmm..maybe I think too highly of my children.

I absolutely love Tiny Prints, and I am so glad that you are doing this giveaway, and not just holding it but letting everyone know what a great company this is! I recently entered another giveaway (which of course I didn't win) for Tiny Prints, and in looking over the store I ended up buying a set of holiday gift cards for my friends with their new baby's picture on them! Tiny Prints make wonderful gifts, and I was pleased to discover them and to be able to share them with my friends. Their Christmas cards, with their new baby girl's pic on them and the Snowflake motif, are classically beautiful and will be a wonderful keepsake for them in later years as their girl grows older.
Thanks for the chance to win this giveaway! If I win this time, I'm going to be selfish and get OUR Christmas cards from them! LOL
Viv, from Cool Moms Rule!

I've been looking at Tiny Prints website for about 10 minutes and I'm hooked. All the photography for the Christmas cards started to get me in the spirit for Christmas. It seems a little early, but it did make me feel good inside.
Four of the cards that I liked (really I liked them all but can't post them all) were:
Bright Branch (Christmas photo)
Blessed Birth (Christmas photo)
Jolly Garden
Pink Birds on a Branch
I'm going to have to look again and start thinking about our own personal Christmas cards. I love writing letters (I agree with you that not that many people do that anymore).
My great-grandmother, who was in her late 90s, used to write letters back and forth and I have kept/cherished all of them.
Thanks for the post and for contacting Tiny Prints about the giveaway. I hope I win!!

I like the smart owl, but mostly because we just released a screech owl into the nature preserve at my daughter's school and I'd like to send a thank you letter to the nonprofit who made it possible. But I would, you know, want to use my own words.
I also, embarrassingly (?) love the teen designs. I hope that doesn't mean I'm sophomoric.

Ok, so I'm late getting here, but it was impossible to find the time to sit down and really look at the Tiny Prints site - so much to choose from! But, here I am, saying "pick me! pick me! they actually ship to Canada!!!!"
I was looking at the holiday cards in particular, since it's time I start thinking about cards (didn't get any out last year either!). I wanted a folded card rather than a flat one, which limited my choices a bit, but I went with "Joyful Wishes". Now pick me, dammit! ;)

- lattemommy said...
And now I'm totally leaving another comment with a choice in another category, 'cuz I wanna win!!!! ;)
Since I've totally decided that this baby is a girl (it better be - another boy might put me in the looney bin) I chose one from the girl birth announcements. It was a tough choice between a cute one with a big sister and big brother announcing their new baby sister's birth and the "Little Butterfly" one, but "Little Butterfly" won out because I would want one with a photo.
So, pick me! Pick me! (Am I getting obnoxious now?)

I would either choose "Baby News

Good day!
My problem is the following:
I have a geologic map of a non-existing place (idealised): http://i50.tinypic.com/34evk2p.jpg
It is meant to be 1:100 000 scale, so the first question would be: "how to correctly georeference a non-existing area (so that I could later make a digital cross-section AC). The map is meant to be Soviet, 1985. Can I somehow manage The elevation from this map. I repeat, topography and cross-section in a digital way.
The product should look like USGS OFR 2005-1428: Creating and Managing Digital Geologic Cross Sections within ArcGIS
and would be awesome, if it could be done the same way
The USGS OFR 2005-1428: Creating and Managing Digital Geologic Cross Sections within ArcGIS
I need to make a lot of cross-sections to visually show what exactly lies under the surface, in a digital way.
I DO NOT need the work done for me, I will vectorize the map myself, I just need the links to do it manually. I have some knowledge, but I seem to fail compiling it into one.
Thank you for your time,
warm greetings to you and your family.

Remember those older AM/FM Portable Radios with the antenna that you extended by pulling it out? Or the Radio Antennas on older cars that would pop- out, extend and retract when you turned on the radio? This Mast isn't an Antenna, but it extends and retracts by hand in similar fashion. Available in 20', 30', 40' and 50' heights. All ROHN telescoping masts are pre-galvanized and come assembled with hardware. Erection is made by simply connecting guys and brackets to the attached unique heavy duty rolled edge guy rings and clamps, extend each section one at a time (starting with the innermost section), insert the locking cotter pins, rotating the tubes to a locked position, and tightening the clamps. Repeat the process on each successive section until fully erect.
The unique ROHN Products design features interior tube flanging combined with a double crimped exterior tube to produce a stronger and more stable joint than most common masts. This design exclusive also prevents the sections from accidentally pulling apart and allows disassembly by pulling each section out through the lower end.Each section extends deeper in to the lower tubes than most other designs, adding still further to the stability of the structure.
H SeriesThis heavy duty series uses 1-1/4" 16 gauge galvanized tubing for top section. All other sections are 18 gauge.
Assembly1. Secure base and anchors (sold separately).2. Attach lowered mast to base.3. Secure guy lines to the lower Guy Ring and attach to anchors. Align the mast vertically by tightening the Guy Lines.4. Secure upper Guy Ring using the appropriate Mast Clamp to desired location on the upper Tube (see note 8 on page 10).5. Secure appropriate length guy lines to the upper Guy Ring and let them hang.6. Raise the upper Tube and inset the cotter pin. Make sure that the cotter pin is inside the notch in the inside tube.7. Secure the cotter pin and tighten the mast clamp.8. Secure appropriate length guy lines to the next highest Guy Ring, and let them hang.9. Raise the next smallest Tube and insert the cotter pin. Make sure that the cotter pin is inside the notch in the inside tube.10. Secure the cotter pin and tighten the mast clamp.11. Repeat steps 8-10 until all sections have been raised and are secured.12. Attach all hanging Guy Lines to their respective anchor. Align the mast vertically by tightening the Guy Lines. Make sure to work your way up the mast while tightening.

Circular connectors were invented in the early 1930s when Douglas Aircraft Company contracted ITT Interconnect Solutions (known then as Cannon) to develop connectors for their aircrafts. Circular connectors were born! Within the decade, they were produced in mass volumes and many were sent overseas to fight in WWII.
Widely used these days and easy to find, circular connectors are named after their cylindrical contact housings and circular contact interface geometries. They are generally easy to mate, can hold a range of contact types, and allow for different contact voltages and currents. Plus, they can be made extra tough for use in more rugged, dangerous environments, employing environmental sealing to keep out all dust and dirt. You can find circular connectors being used in a number of different industries including industrial work, aerospace, the medical field, and military connectors.
As far as design goes, many circular connectors utilize crimp contacts, which are pins or sockets whose back portion is a hollow cylinder. The stripped wire (the conductor) is inserted into this hollow and then the walls of the hollow are compressed until they have a firm hold on the wire.
Circular connectors are often mounted on plates called flanges that are attached to a panel with screws. The one major disadvantage to circular connectors is that when used in a panel, the circular design reduces the amount of usable space on the panel.
Along with d-sub, USB connectors, and power connectors, circular connectors are among the most common electrical connectors utilized today.

new york secrets

New Yorkers love to think they know everything about their city—where to find the best street-meat cart, how to avoid paying full price at museums, what route to take to skip traffic down Broadway. But New York City can reveal new treasures to even its most grizzled veterans. Beyond the city where we work, eat, play and commute every day lies a hidden New York: mysterious, forgotten, abandoned or just overlooked. We've compiled a list of New York City's coolest secret spots, ones you're not likely to read about in any guidebooks. Get out there and discover them (well, those that are accessible anyway) for yourself. —Anna Balkrishna

The controversy surrounding the WTA's Roadmap continues. However, the Tour and the top lady ballers will be sitting down during the WTA Championships in Doha to work towards common ground on next season's schedule.
But according to Kamakshi Tandon over at ESPN the ladies better voice their concerns now or risk a penalty for doing it later:
There will be more meetings between tour officials and players at the Sony Ericsson Championships in Doha, Qatar, next week to hammer out the final details. Perhaps the players should take the opportunity to make their objections known, because another new rule will take effect next year -- one that "expressly prohibits" them from making "public comments that a player knows or should reasonably know will harm the reputation or financial best interests of a tournament player, sponsor, official or the WTA."The ATP already has a similar rule with a $100K fine which is rarely enforced.
Whatever - I don't think this rule will stop Jelena Jankovic, Serena Williams, or Maria Sharapova from voicing any objections about the WTA Tour and it shouldn't; it's important to keep the process open to discussion and change.
But, I do hope it makes the lady ballers think twice before going public without correct information, a firm point of view, and a strongly written statement.

Legislators deserve shame
Published: Thursday, August 15, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, August 14, 2013 at 11:06 a.m.
Editor: Given that there is little or no evidence of voter fraud in statewide or national elections that have been held in North Carolina for decades, why did the General Assembly pass a Voter ID law that also lessens the time for early voting?
I've been voting for 40 years and never had to show a photo ID and have certainly appreciated the early-voting option. I think it's obvious why the Republican-dominated legislature passed the new law. The people most likely not to have a photo ID and who more often use the early voting option are most likely to vote Democratic, and Republican legislators want to suppress those votes.
The N.C. Legislature should be encouraging going to the polls and voting, not discouraging it. And if Republican legislators are afraid of losing elections in a "fair and square" manner because of the voter turnout of young people and Asian, African-American and Hispanic voters, then they need to change their philosophy and reach out to those voters with policies and programs that will attract their votes. But to try to hinder the participation of some voters by making it more difficult for them to vote is completely un-American!
Some states in the South did this sort of thing decades ago with literacy tests, poll taxes and such in order to keep some Americans from voting. Americans are all about democratic participation and having a voice in matters. We aren't about suppressing democratic participation and stifling the voice of the people. Shame on this General Assembly!

I'm investigating integrating our internal applications (in Django) with Zimbra features. In my research I think the two possible routes for me to go are using SOAP or REST. So far, I've attempted using SOAP through ZPI and SOAPpy. Neither of which have worked so far. SOAPpy almost worked, but complained that it received a duplicate id.
I personally would love to use REST as it's simpler for me. I've barely touched SOAP before. It doesn't appear that there is any documentation of the abilities of the REST API?
If someone thinks there is a better method for connecting using Python, I would love to know more?
If someone has done this before, I would love to see a code example of authenticating against the server in Python.

It's time for action on adaptation
03 December 2011 | News story
One of IUCN's rallying cries at UNFCCC COP17 in Durban is "Time for action on adaptation". Ed Barrow, Head of IUCN's Ecosystem Based Adaptation Programme, goes in to more detail on this key message, starting by explaining IUCN's understanding of adaptation.
The importance of adaptation to climate change impacts is hardly new, but why is this COP the moment to really urge 'action'?
The examples of the urgency to adapt are manifold, and nature-based adaptation can generate multiple benefits and co-benefits.

Distinguishing Features of Craftsman House Plans
Rooted in the Arts and Crafts movement, Craftsman house plans have been popular for generations. While they are available in a vast range of sizes and can be one or two levels, these home designs are sought after for their sturdy construction and easy living floor plans. Craftsman house plans appeal to a wide variety of home buyers and display unmistakable characteristics that can be recognized both from the exterior and interior of the home. Below is a list of some of the easily identifiable characteristics you'll find with Craftsman home plans:
Exterior Features
- Multi-material façade (a combination of local natural materials such as stone, brick, siding, and cedar shakes)
- Wide and deep front porch
- Flared, tapered or square porch columns atop stone pediments/pedestals
- Low-pitched roof
- Wide, overhanging eaves
- Exposed beams, rafters or rafter tails
- Triangular brackets in the eaves
- Shed dormers
- Decorative details
- Rustic styling
- Appearance of handcrafted workmanship
Interior Features
- Open floor plan with few hallways
- Make use of every square inch of living space
- Built-in shelving, cabinets, and seating
- Extensive use of dark wood and wood moldings and trim
- Extensive use of windows
- Some windows of stained or leaded glass
- Beamed ceilings
- Stone fireplace and chimney
- Use local, natural materials
While Craftsman home plans can be as small as a cottage or an impressive luxury home, they all display as least some of the features characteristics mentioned above. They are closely related to Northwestern style designs and bungalows. Browse our collection of Craftsman house plans now.

I am publishing python code on some website that is CMS. I have a python script that reads any python script and makes a syntax-colored HTML out of it. Then I copy/paste this HTML into the CMS editing window.
The problem is that my python syntax highlighting script uses
<pre> tag to keep tabs/spaces which are quite important in python. The CMS however for some reasons that are unclear for me removes any
<pre> tag. Admin told me that I should use
<div> instead of
<pre>. Could you help me styling a

She's got Obama mail
Sophia Bailey-Klugh has two dads and one invitation to the White House.
On Monday, the 11-year-old Grant Elementary student and her family — fathers Jonathan Bailey and Triton Klugh and younger sister Ava — will be in Washington, D.C., for the 135th annual White House Easter Egg Roll. There will be a dance party on the South Lawn, food from celebrity chefs and performances by "American Idol" winner Jordin Sparks and San Diego "Idol" runner-up Jessica Sanchez.
Because she is one of 35,000 invited guests, Sophia might not get the chance to meet President Obama. But that's OK. The girl from Mission Hills and the President of the United States are sort of friends already, and Sophia's got the letter to prove it.
One Sunday last October, Sophia wrote to the president thanking him for his support of same-sex marriage, especially since some kids at school thought her dads' relationship was "gross and weird."
"I thought he would give me good advice and he would be kind about it," Sophia said of her letter, in which she told the president, "I am so glad you agree that two men can love each other. Because I have two dads and they love each other."
Like any proud modern parent, Bailey posted the letter on his Facebook page. By the following morning, the paper version was in the mailbox and the online version was blowing up cyberspace. Bailey told his 500 or so Facebook friends and they told their umpteen Facebook friends, and within a day or two, Sophia's letter was being discussed on the Huffington Post website. And on the CNN and MSNBC websites. And by Perez Hilton.
We'll let Bailey take the story from there.
"By Wednesday, we got a Facebook message that someone from the First Lady's office wanted our home address," Bailey said as the family gathered in the living room of the Bailey-Klugh house in South Mission Hills. "On Saturday, the letter from the president came. I Facebooked that, and everything started all over again."
What did the president say to the girl whose dads have been together for 16 years? Nice things ("I'm honored to have your support and inspired by your compassion.") Encouraging things ("You are very fortunate to have two parents who care deeply about you.") Things guaranteed to rile the web. ("And we recognize that whether you have two dads or one mom what matters above all is the love we show one another.")
And being that the letter was written while Obama was running for re-election, the web got itself in a bunch. Some people were convinced the letter was a fake. Others said it was just a cog in the president's PR machine. Some people thought Sophia's letter was a fake, while others settled for critiquing her handwriting.
Meanwhile, Bailey (co-founder of the i.d.e.a. branding and marketing firm) and Klugh (vice president of design development for InCharacter Costumes) were fielding interview requests from around the world, all of which they turned down. They were also wondering how a TV producer got Bailey's cellphone number, why a local news crew suddenly appeared on their front porch during dinner and what in the world they had gotten themselves into.
"I had a little reservation about it, like 'What have we done?' " Klugh said. "But the positive feedback was so great. We just kept thinking what a great experience it was for the girls to have that kind of support."
From her perch on the couch, 9-year-old Ava said she really wanted things to get back to normal. But for the most part, the Bailey-Klugh family's Obama experience has been the boost that keeps on lifting them higher.

Can't help you with unit 70, but welcome to the forum.
Anyone have any archery experience in GMU 70 for elk? I have narrowed my fall hunt down to a couple of units and 70 is one of them. Just wondering if people have had good, bad or indifferent experiences in the unit and what I should expect. I'm pretty limited with my scouting as I live in WI and won't be able to make out ahead of time to do any scouting. I'm not looking for any slob bulls but I am hoping to get in to some action and maybe a shot at a legal bull. Any information that you all are willing to share would be awesome.
Can't help you with unit 70, but welcome to the forum.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Hi Matt, welcome to the forum.
Thanks guys
I live pretty close to 70, but do not hunt it for Elk. I fish up there a lot too. Most of the elk hunting early is in the eastern part of the unit. That part near Telluride is pretty mountainous. The western part toward Utah tends to be more desert like and much drier...lots of wild horses there. The SE part toward Lizardhead Wilderness holds lots of elk, but pretty rough. I hunt the southern side of the wilderness which is unit 71. Get some good topo maps or FS maps, most (if not all) of the unit is in the Uncompahgre NF . There are also some pretty good NFS camps in the areas and some pretty good FS access roads. The other thing to be prepared for is thundershowers and rain. Last year I hunted ML in 71 and it rained every day.
Good luck and welcome, lots of great folks here with good experience and advice.

Hidden Treasures of San Mateo County: The Chateau Corolands

Here is another wonderful hidden treasure in our beautiful San Mateo County . . . The Chateau Carolands. The chateau is a 98 room architectural masterpiece in Hillsborough, and one of the largest private homes in the United States.
Not Just Large, But Also Significant
More importantly, though, it is a portal into the last 100 years of American history that helped to shape what we know as the San Francisco Peninsula. I perused a book called Carolands Hillsboro: Imperious Survivor and reviewed the DVD 3 Women and a Chateau: A History of Chateau Carolands (both available through the library) before taking the drive to view the mansion.
It made the experience richer and gave me so much more of an appreciation for its beauty. You can also visit Carolands to get a glimpse of the enormity and exquisite detail of the architecture and grounds of the chateau.
Even More Magnificence
This book will help you explore even more unique structures in our state: Best of California's Missions, Mansions, and Museums.
