Fly Now! The National Air and Space Museum Poster Collection
Throughout their history, posters have been a significant means of mass communication, often with striking visual effect. Wendy Wick Reaves, the Smithsonian Portrait Gallery Curator of Prints and Drawings, comments that "sometimes a pictorial poster is a decorative masterpiece-something I can't walk by without a jolt of aesthetic pleasure. Another might strike me as extremely clever advertising … But collectively, these 'pictures of persuasion,' as we might call them, offer a wealth of art, history, design, and popular culture for us to understand. The poster is a familiar part of our world, and we intuitively understand its role as propaganda, promotion, announcement, or advertisement."
Reaves' observations are especially relevant for the impressive array of aviation posters in the National Air and Space Museum's 1300+ artifact collection. Quite possibly the largest publicly-held collection of its kind in the United States, the National Air and Space Museum's posters focus primarily on advertising for aviation-related products and activities. Among other areas, the collection includes 19th-century ballooning exhibition posters, early 20th-century airplane exhibition and meet posters, and twentieth-century airline advertisements.
The posters in the collection represent printing technologies that include original lithography, silkscreen, photolithography, and computer-generated imagery. The collection is significant both for its aesthetic value and because it is a unique representation of the cultural, commercial and military history of aviation. The collection represents an intense interest in flight, both public and private, during a significant period of its technological and social development.

It sounds to me like you want to keep two sets of records, a map (or set of maps) and a set of notes. Although, drawing the map from an in-world perspective, with the data handwritten where it's relevant, would be pretty cool. I do have a question for you - did any of your numbers come from math regarding circles or globes? Mapping a whole world is very hard, because it is impossible to accurately map a sphere on a 2-dimensional surface. If this is the case, consider doing a few separate overlapping 'region' maps, so you don't have to worry as much about the curvature.
Good luck, and hang in there!

nice. i actually prefer the normal paper texture to the one with blue water, mostly because the water one looks more like its 'accidentally' stained.
Hi folks.
I'm attempting to spruce up the cartography for a NWN2 Persistent World that I'm a member of, and I've been buzzing through a variety of styles in order to find something I liked.
Here is what I'm currently playing around with.
Thanks go to the very fine tutorials in that subsection of the forums, which gave me a lot of food for thought and helped me get going in the first place!
All done in GIMP, with a high resolution paper texture taken from somewhere I forget. First picture is the basic outline, second is my experiments with hue for the water.

I have to say I have the opposite opinion, for the same reason The one with blue sea feels more personal, I think.
Hmm, looks like you have some combined some incongruous styles here. The dark black stroke surrounding the land would have been more appropriate to an atlas style map (though even there I would have lowered the opacity a bit), but it doesn't really work with a semi-realistic/artistic map like this. You might try changing the color to a tan/brown and lowering the opacity, but honestly I'd probably just get rid of it altogether myself. The mountain look pretty good and the forests are ok but the rest of the land looks a bit too blue which, were the black borderline not there, would make it nearly indistinguishable from the sea. You might want to add more browns, tans and greens to the land to help distinguish it from the sea.
You're probably use warp thing to curve the labels. That's doesn't look that good since it's altering the font badly. You should use paths to curve them. Chasio made a quick tutorial about it here if you don't know how to do it.
I actually did do the whole text-to-path thing, but I'm using GIMP, so maybe that's the issue? I have my suspicions about why it's not come out brilliantly, however.
Actually, I don't see the problem with the text, it looks fine to me. A few letters are a little warped, but some imperfections just increase the hand-painted feel I think you are going for.
On another note, may I suggest making the rivers curve back and forth a little more? The long one in the center looks great, but the others are a little too straight to look real. That's the only bit of criticism I have, it's a very nice map!

This holiday season, the Special Olympics popular holiday compilation, "A Very Special Christmas" celebrates 25 years with a Zinepak—a CD packed into a mini magazine featuring exclusive interviews with select artists and athletes. I was extremely excited to add this latest volume to my collection as I had previously owned volumes I, II, and III on tape cassette. In this collection, several popular artists cover traditional holiday songs and some sing their own. Note: playing this CD on repeat can become slightly addictive and may drive others around you crazy if they don't share your passion for holiday music.
BONUS: We have (8) to give away to the first (8) lucky readers to tweet @VFAgenda with your favorite holiday jingle #zinepak #averyspecialchristmas.

So it seems no one is able to, or wishes to, help.
Oh well, thank you all anyway
I am hoping to start a pathfinder campaign in the next couple of months. It will involve the PCs - who are survivors of a major natural disaster (a meteor strike) - awakening from their stasis chambers (akin to R.A.G.E.) several hundred thousand years after they were initially supposed to awaken.
They will find earth populated by an assortment of fantasy races and creatures that are, from their perspective, completely unnatural. I would like to set the campaign in the region that is currently Mainland China. This is also where the meteor strike impacted.
The above map shows, as a rough outline, the area that would be the crater of the impact location. Now if you extend and expand the border to make it more spherical, it will encompass much of the surrounding water as well as the region that is Mongolia.
I am not planning to release my setting to anyone but my players and friends, and as such will not be making money off it. I do, however, understand that people are more inclined to put time and effort into something that they will receive some sort of compensation for. As such, I might be able to offer some sort of monetary compensation. I would also be happy to offer the setting, once done, as well supply adventure logs.
Now, time for my request.
I would like someone to be able to make me a map (or rather, several) of the region after the meteoric impact. I have left all but absolute essential details up to the map maker. The only things I need to be definitively included are rivers, the steep walls as a result of the impact as well as the impact site at the very center of the 'crater'.
I would hope to be able to get the map both a shaded and unshaded natural looking style from birds-eye perspective, a greyscale 'heightmap' of the region, and optionally a more stylised map of the region which would be useful to the players.
I understand this might seem like a complex task, but if anyone, at all, is able to help I would greatly appreciate it!
If anyone would like to contact me privately, they can send me an email to my gmail account. The gmail user ID is my first name (dot) my surname.

It might help if you link to examples of the styles you want, and perhaps draw on top of the above map the general size and placement of the crater.
Hi Shannon,
first of all welcome to the guild - when you put up a request you have to give people time to peruse it. I know you're probably anxious to get on with it but it can take a long time to get a request filled (and some never does). The map you linked to doesn't load on my computer so I can't see it. Also as Chashio states, examples of what styles you'd like would be good - you can look through the finished map section for something you like.
Making a map takes a long time and can be hard to find the time to in ones busy lifes, so examples of styles can help in calculating how big a project this is.
Good luck on your campaign and I hope you get your map

I don't know how technically accurate you want to be, or if you've already calculated the effects and extent of the meteor impact, but I found these sites very interesting.
Thank you for your responses people
As far as style goes, I am not really too fussed. Any potentially interested cartographer has free reign. I do not even need the bump map - I was originally going to do a 3d rendering, but that is unneeded.
It does not need to be atlas styled, it can use virtually any style (and if someone is interested in the project, and has a particular style in mind but they are unsure if it is desired, a simple query solves that). The most important aspect is having a scale and showing the other terrain features
Thank you to all who have responded. I appologise if I have seemed snappy. I have had a lot going on in real life that has had most of my attention and left me a little frayed.
Not a project I can tackle, but maybe I can help define it. You want ALL of China to be obliterated by a crater? That big an impact would probably crack the Earth, and would of a certainty remove all life other than cockroaches and kudzu - and those only in a remote valley in the new Bahama Range.
If all you need is for there to be EFFECTS across all of China, I could see a "merely" few dozen km crater, and a whole bunch of ejecta across thousands of km radius. I know, I know - you don't need realism to have a fun campaign. Still - some of your potential mappers would not be able to get past the implausibility factor and enjoy the cartography. 'Cause to get even a nibble, it has to sound like a fun project.
Now there's all KINDS of possibilities, if you tweak the parameters. Say a glancing blow, a ricochet that rung the whole ball like a bell, threw teratons of planet into orbit (nice new set of rings you have there) (kilometers-thick 'loose' material in one direction down-strike, for the new dwarves (?) to mine in), temporarily blew away half the atmosphere and a kilometer's depth of ocean (seriously diminished percent water surface, climate weirdness, waaaaay new coastlines) and generally ruined everyone's day.
What you want is massive mayhem, without transfer of cosmic levels of energy all the way INTO Earth. [dub in sound of cracking coconut] What I described would probably take a chunk seriously less than the size of Kanchenjunga or Kalamazoo. There's a reason kinetic energy strikes are a serious weapon in science fiction.
[long time later] Okay, not splitting the whole globe, but Really Bad News nonetheless. Fair warning, if you fool around with the Purdue Earth Impact calculator, you'll spend an inordinate amount of time throwing big rocks at the planet and seeing what happens. :-) To get a crater thousands of km across, I had to dial the asteroid up to hundreds of km across. Based on the effects it describes, kudzu *probably* survives. Vertibrates... might not. Richter 13+ on the other side of the planet....
From a mapping standpoint just how long after awakening do you want the map to be? And is it neutral omniscient observer/ gamemaster viewpoint, or in-game in-character viewpoint? The former could be any style under the sun. The latter would be (I'm guessing) nothing but an overprint on an existing Asia map as the awaken-ees put their energy toward rebuilding instead of surveying, if soon after. If a century or two later, maybe there's a whole new set of needs, standards, and methods in play, and one could believe an atlas style, or other labor-intensive data-intensive view... one that need not match Rand McNally or National Geographic. Or shoot, maybe the refugees from the past are so homesick it's been worth the effort to put a familiar spin on the new landscape. Centauroid/elvish trade routes in the style of an A-Z road atlas. Dwarven tunnels in the style of London Transport Tube maps. Or pull-down school maps with overprint in Sharpie showing the alterations.
If you give us a good tale, there'll be more to hang a map on - you're talking some serious imagination at work, so a kick-start might a) get us going in the direction you intend and b) get us intrigued with your project. So homework: next post is 10-15 paragraphs of background and/or narrative :-). Hey, if you work it out now, you'll be in better shape for the campaign, ja?
Have you considered doing these yourself? It's not a totally insurmountable obstacle, and you'd get something that lines up with your creative vision. Or do you Klingons just not do maps? :-)
Too bad you didn't propose this a bunch of months ago when the map contest was 'map a disaster'.

text: By Jan RahnManaging Editor Starting July 1, an interim superintendent at Perkins County Schools will replace Tobin Buchanan, who is beginning a career in the private sector after serving the district for six years. Retired superintendent William L. Hakonson (pronounced 'Hawk'-onson) of Cheyenne, Wyo., will take the helm of the district on a one-year contract. Hakonson's most recent position was in Nebraska at Leyton School District which serves the communities of Gurley and Dalton. Hakonson received his Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences from Wayne State College in 1966. In 1980 he received a Master of Science in educational administration from Wayne State, followed by an Educational Specialist Degree in 1983 from the college. He began his career in the Gurley Public Schools as principal, science teacher and coach in 1967. Eight years later he became the guidance counselor at Creighton Community Schools where he also taught science and coached. From 1980-81 Hakonson served the Auburn Public Schools as administrator assistant and guidance counselor, becoming the secondary principal from 1981-1985 at Wisner-Pilger Public Schools. He then served as superintendent of the Wisner-Pilger Schools until 2001 when he moved to Lander, Wyo., to become superintendent of the Fremont County School District until his retirement in 2005. Hakonson has several honors to his credit, including being named Superintendent of the Year Region 3, being the recipient of the Northeast Community College Distinguished Service Award, and being named Admiral in the Great Navy of the State of Nebraska. Personnel and quality control are indicated as Hakonson's major strengths—areas he will target in his new position with Perkins County Schools.

Any ideas what could cause this? If more info is needed please let me know.
Thanks in advance

I got me a couple of Kosse heads and I want to show them off!
Here's Clawful... I don't really hate the original Clawful that we got, and this one sits up a little high on the head. Makes him look like he has a weak chin. I don't know if this is as much of an improvement as I thought it was, but it is a really great head.
Battle Armor Faker is gotten dinged up a fair bit over the course of his battles. Perfect way to gussy up a BASkelly if you don't want to display two Skeletors on one shelf.
Oh no! Which one is the real fake Faker? I swapped their boots so BA has the boots and original has duckfeets. Maybe one's a robot and one's a magical construct. I don't know. I have an idea to get a Duncan head in Faker colors and put that on a Keldor or Faker body with a repaint of MAA's armor. His name will be Mentir, which is Spanish for "to lie", and it's close to Mentor, which is Duncan's role to Adam. Mentir, the Sham-At-Arms!
This will be Karak Nul. I had this idea before Kevin and Rock Vivien announced their version of Nul, but I like mine better. I don't know if I'll procure another Marzo armor for his upper body, or just repaint all the Dekker gear.
And obviously these are not Kosse customs, but this is how I'm currently displaying my guards. Old Man Dekker and his son. I don't know his son's name yet.

Hadley, I actually like taht head for Karak Nul much better. The other one reminds me too much of Sloth from Goonies.

I was moving my collection around today trying to follow the MOTUC Timeline that someone created on here. I pretty much had everything right, but moved some stuff around.
I was also going thru my "extras" bag and I had an extra Sorceress. After reading the new Skeletor mini comic, I had an idea.
I always like the idea of the Goddess and Teela being her clone as it appears in the Tale of Teela mini comic. I always like the scene when Goddess merges back with Teela and she has the snake armor but also flowing hair.
So, I took my Sorceress, the red snake armor that came in the weapons pack, and the Capt. Glenn extra ponytail head I had. I took the red snake staff and built The Sorceress-Goddess

It's pretty neat. I put her on my shelf with Faceless One, King Grayskull, Zodak and Moss Man.

Own a limited edition, signed and numbered print from urban artists Dabs Myla.
Own a limited edition, signed and numbered print from urban artists Dabs Myla.
Australian natives Dabs and Myla are a dynamic duo who have lived, worked and soaked in the sun of Los Angeles since 2009. Dabs started painting graffiti in 1995, and began teaching Myla the ropes of writing about ten years later, after they met while studying illustration in art school and fell in love. Soon afterward, they decided they liked their collaborative pieces better than their individual work, and from that point on, they worked together exclusively, as Dabs Myla. Inspired by graffiti, food, travel and their wonderful chaotic life together as a couple, their paintings play Dabs' mischievous and sometimes ribald characters off Myla's photo realistic cityscapes.

A 325 pound bengal tiger, certainly not your typical housecat, will be prowling the Big Bend this winter. The tiger is on loan to the Tallahassee Museum from the Carson Springs Wildlife Conservation in Gainesville.
"Tigers are critically endangered and they're losing space everywhere they occur. The Bengal tiger is the most numerous sub-species left, but there may be only 3,000 of those and they're disappearing in a hurry," said the museum's animal curator Mike Jones.
The tiger just turned 2 years old on Saturday and is expected to gain more than 150 more pounds as it continues to grow. He'll be at his new habitat until March.

Judges Workshop in August
Where can I find more info on the judges workshop in August. I signed up for it, but there is no mention of hotels and accomodations.
Re: Judges Workshop in August
The judges workshop is held at the IPC each year at Gwinnet Tech in Lawrenceville, GA. The hotel that is usually used is the Hampton Inn Lawrenceville - I-85 Sugarloaf. There is also a Homewood Suites right next door which has larger suite type rooms and a few more amenities like refrigerators in the room, for a slightly higher price. Usually the judges and students are split between the tow hotels since they are right next door on the same side of the street with only a small parking lot area separating them. There is a hotel shuttle that runs between the two hotels and the school where the judging is held. The PEC Administrator, Rich Newell, will be sending out additional information about the hotel arrangements to the judges and the students. I'll try to remember to post any additional information here if I hear of any news or changes being made. I'm at the IPC every year since I handle the behind the scenes stuff there.The best way to gain for yourself is to give OF yourself.

Dunbar Wins Third Straight State Title
It was the third straight year Baltimore's Dunbar Poets had reached the Maryland State 1A Class high school football championship game, but for those watching, it looked just like every other game the Poets had played this season.
Dunbar routed Owings Mills, MD's New Town Titans, 39-0, to claim their third consecutive state title and seventh in nine years. But the win also marked the 10th time this season that the Poets (13-1) shut out their opponent. Shutout victories have become the norm for the Poets this season, but no one expected them to record one in the championship game.
In their last two championship game appearances, Dunbar had to come from behind to win after slow starts. Poets quarterback Will Crest, who has now won three titles with Dunbar, told the AFRO that they wanted to make sure they didn't have to do that this time around.
"We've had a habit of starting these title games slow and having to really play with a sense of urgency in the third and fourth quarter just to pull ourselves out of the holes we created," Crest said. "So we focused on getting off to a hot start and once we did that, New Town just couldn't keep up with us."
Crest finished the game with two touchdown passes, but by the time he threw those touchdowns, Dunbar was well ahead. Poets running back Coleman Blackston scored Dunbar's first 12 points as he ran for a 26-yard touchdown and a 2-yard touchdown in the first quarter. Blackston had 117 yards in the first half and finished with 128, as other reserve running backs like Paki Brown and JaQuan Holt took over the game. Behind an offensive line of Malik Jones, Dariz Hill, Nicholas Bonaparte, Teon Ransom and Brandon Giles, the Poets accumulated 230 yards rushing.
But more impressive was Dunbar's defense, easily the stingiest group in Maryland high school football. Poets head coach Lawrence Smith told reporters after the game that he felt this year's team had the best defense his staff has coached.
"It's not one star player on our defense that you can single out, it's a whole total team effort with them and it shows because they just completely dominate together," Smith said. "I'm very proud of this team and now that they're champions, they'll be remembered as one of the best teams in Dunbar history."

Craigslist Deal of the Week: $1825 Cole Valley 1 Bdrm
I used to live within walking distance of Say Cheese. I don't any longer, which may be why this week's Craigslist Deal is so appealing — it's just around the corner from my favorite sandwich in the city.
But even though the thought of easily skipping out for a chicken and sun-dried tomato on ciabatta anytime I wish is enough to get me to sign the lease, there's plenty more about this apartment to sweeten the deal. Beautiful bay windows, hardwood floors, and built-ins provide ample charm, and the location offers easy access to the N Judah, not to mention Golden Gate Park and the Haight.
Craigslist Deal of the Week: $1650 Upper Market Cottage
A cottage? I didn't think those existed in the city, at least not with a rental price of less than $5k. But this week's Craigslist Deal is here to prove me wrong.
Most likely originally built as a carriage house for the other home on the property, this little place is essentially a stand-alone junior one-bedroom (i.e., it's small), with its own patio. Though some of the angles look kind of wonky, the kitchen built-ins are charming, and the ample views stunning. There's no exterior image in the ad, so "cottage" could end up being quite a stretch, but for $1650 it's well worth checking out.
Craigslist Deal of the Week: $1800 Taraval 2 Bdrm
I've been showing you one bedrooms and studios on here since the beginning of time (or 2009, to be more precise), but it's a new year—time to shake things up a bit. So for a slight change of pace, this week's Craigslist Deal is a (oh, the suspense!) TWO bedroom. I mean, can you imagine?
I went outside of the box for this one for a few reasons: A., it's located on Taraval near West Portal, an area with plenty of good hole-in-the-wall restaurants, proximity to the L, and walkability; B., the kitchen is huge, the whole place is filled with enviable light, and there's even a backyard; and C., it's under $2k. So here's to expanding horizons–and square footage–in 2011.
Craigslist Deal of the Week: $1495 Jr 1 Bdrm Near Polk
The end of the year always brings good tidings and great rental deals. It's not thanks to holiday cheer, mind you; rather, it's landlords slashing prices to get their apartments rented when people are busy nesting and shopping, and have no intention of packing up and shipping out until at least late January. But if you're one of the brave souls willing to get through the holidays and a move in one whirlwind month, you're in luck: The market is rich with low-cost options.
Craigslist Deal of the Week: $1395 Upper Market Studio
I won't lie; retro tile gets me every single time. I can't pass up a good turquoise or checkered motif, even if the condition isn't tip-top or the color combination is less than ideal (pink, anyone?). But you can't live on – or, rather, around – charming tile alone; sleeping in the bathroom simply won't do.
Craigslist Deal of the Week: $1500 Downtown Studio
There's no place like the city for the holidays. The lights, the shopping, the general disgruntledness replaced with cheer — it's magic. In that spirit, I couldn't help but home in on this sharp little studio. True, it's borderline 'Loin territory, but don't let that deter you, as it's also borderline Downtown.
Craigslist Deal of the Week: $1650 Hayes/Lower Haight 1 Bdrm
There's a nip in the air now that can only mean one thing: Winter's right around the corner. Being as this is San Francisco, however, that nip could easily change into a warm streak or, just as likely, a rainy spell. Be prepared for the city's schizophrenic weather with a well-equipped apartment, like this week's Craigslist Deal.
A flash of sun peeking through the clouds? Head outside to your own private patio to bask in the end-of-season rays. If it's wool coat weather, gather 'round the fireplace indoors instead–true it's only decorative, but it's not like this is Minnesota. Slap a few candles or a space heater in there and it's kind of the same idea, right?
Craigslist Deal of the Week: $1350 Studio on Haight
I've always been fond of the city's outer neighborhoods (Sunset, holler!), but one bout of rain is all it takes to have me singing the praises of more centralized living. When the weather isn't cooperating, it helps to have your favorite night spots close at hand in order to shake that cabin fever that inevitably sets in after a day or so of rain.
So if you've got similar concerns, or simply appreciate a home close to the city's hub, this week's Craigslist Deal is for you. It's right on Haight about a half a block from Divis – steps to The Page, near NOPA, Bar Crudo, Ragazza, and other favorite dining spots, and around the corner from Faletti's if you've got to make a quick dash to the store.
Craigslist Deal of the Week: $1795 Lower Nob Hill 1 Bdrm
Wait, wait! Stick with me for a second. If the title of this week's Craigslist Deal hadn't declared "Not Tenderloin!" in large print, I might have skipped it too. But this true Lower Nob Hill unit is just a few blocks shy of 'Loin potential, and in this city, you know even a block or two can be a world of difference (and a completely different neighborhood).
Craigslist Deal of the Week: $1495 Mission Studio
There's a lot of color in San Francisco's Mission District. Sometimes it comes courtesy of the profanity-laced ramblings you might be subjected to on a typical walk up the street, but mostly it's in the form of brightly hued murals and welcoming storefronts that dot the neighborhood. Either way, it adds up to the character of the area that, bless it, we've come to love.

Under certain circumstances, the COPS Office will grant a partial or full "waiver" of a grantee's required local match. Under a partial waiver, the COPS Office pays 90 percent of salary and benefit costs for each officer awarded (or 90 percent of total project costs for equipment grants). Under a full waiver, COPS pays 100 percent of the awarded officers' salary and benefit costs (or 100 percent of total project costs for equipment grants).
To maximize the number of communities COPS grants benefit, the COPS Office only waives the local match upon a satisfactory and documented demonstration of severe fiscal distress. Such severe fiscal distress may be demonstrated by the following factors:
Please note that waiver requests must be submitted at the time of original grant application. Furthermore, whether or not a waiver is granted, all grantees must develop, implement, and submit to the COPS Office a specific plan for retaining the officer positions funded (or resulting FTE redeployed) with state or local funds for at least one full locally-funded budget cycle. Receiving a waiver of the local match does not exempt a grantee from this retention requirement.

4 Ways to Market Your Business This Father's Day
Father's Day is less than two weeks away, and if this year is similar to last in predictions for spending, it can be a profitable time for your business. A 2013 survey by the National Retail Federation indicated that shoppers would spend more than $100 on a gift for Dad – more than $12 billion in total spending. Here are a few ways to get in on the action this year.
Give the gift of togetherness
When it comes to Father's Day gifts, we often think of getting something for Dad that he can enjoy on his own. Consider an approach that lets him have a good time with the family as well. For example, if you own a restaurant or café, try a father-child special for a dine-in experience. Or if you have a hardware store, hold a workshop that allows kids to come in with their fathers to make something they can take home. They'll walk away with a great experience – and a birdhouse (or something) as a memento.
Cater to kids
Own a brick-and-mortar store? Highlight merchandise for Father's Day by bringing it front and center. Arrange your items so that kids can see and reach what they might buy Dad. Like kids' cereal in a supermarket, bringing things to eye level can go a long way to attract attention. Even if they're not spending their own money, they can certainly carry purchasing power in influencing the other parent!
Make it easy
Buying gifts is never easy, so help your customers out by creating a gift guide. You can offer suggestions by price, interest or audience (child, spouse, parent). With emails and social media, especially, you can get the word out that you have the perfect gift for Dad. You can also highlight particular gifts you think may be hot-ticket items. If you can, take the extra step by offering free gift-wrapping (or shipping, if you run an online store) as an extra incentive as the holiday gets closer.
Create a buzz
If you don't think you're in the business of offering specific Father's Day specials, you can still acknowledge the occasion! Get in on the action with social media, for instance. Ask fans on Facebook or followers on Twitter to share photos of special moments with Dad, funniest pictures of Dad, etc. It'll be a great way to engage your customers and foster a sense of community.
Regardless of your type of business, what you provide or sell, there's a way to incorporate Father's Day into your marketing and sales tactics. Check out our insight from marketing expert Rieva Lesonsky for additional ideas and inspiration for holiday marketing.

Whether it's shaving products, hair and skin care formulations or fragrance, Grooming Lounge offers product options geared towards the needs of all men, from those who want shaving products to soothe razor burn to those who want a complete skin and hair care system. Grooming Lounge is rapidly becoming a premiere source of grooming products for guys of all ages. That's because they carefully screen the products they offer to ensure that each delivers what it promises. It's a one-stop source for men who want to look their best.
Women aren't the only ones concerned about their appearance. Men want to keep their hair and skin looking youthful and healthy too. Guys have special skin and hair care needs. Some men experience hair loss with age and have to deal with skin irritation and razor burn from shaving. Even their skin is different from a woman's. Men typically have thicker skin than a woman's and more active sebaceous glands, making them more susceptible to acne breakouts during adulthood.
Grooming Lounge products available at SkinStore are just one way this brand works to enhance your grooming experience--and your overall look. In 1999, the Grooming Lounge brand was launched by men with extensive experience in the men's grooming and fashion industry. The founders were their friends' go-to experts on all things grooming and decided to bring their expertise to men across the globe looking for realistic grooming solutions and effective grooming products. In March 2002, the first Grooming Lounge store opened in Washington DC, with other brick-and-mortar stores opening later. Men can do more than just purchase Grooming Lounge products at these stores--they can enjoy haircuts, hot lather shaves, business manicures, and more. If you're not in the DC area, however, you can enjoy equal pampering by choosing Grooming Lounge products available at SkinStore.
The Grooming Lounge line of products, which includes skin, shaving, and hair products, were formulated and tested in the barbershops that made the brand famous. Used on real customers, these products were tested and applied by barbers and men's skin care experts. The Grooming Lounge strives to offer only "the best of the best" products for men, so it focuses its product development on those solutions that are truly effective for its customers. Ultimately, the company relies on product approval from its co-founders and in-store grooming experts to ensure that every product in its line is worthy of being included.

AUBURN, Wash. (Sept. 25, 2013) – Jockey Connie Doll and trainers David Martinez and Martin Pimentel will receive special awards when Emerald Downs completes its 18th season of Thoroughbred racing this weekend.Doll is to receive the Lindy Award, named in honor of the legendary Clerk of Scales Lindy Aliment, while Martinez and Pimentel are co-honorees of the Martin Durkan Award, named in honor of the late state senator and longtime proponent for Thoroughbred racing in Washington. Both awards will be presented during Saturday's 11-race card.Voted by the jockeys, the Lindy Award honors accomplishment and sportsmanship throughout the 2013 meeting, at which the 54-year-old Doll has ridden six winners (five Thoroughbred, one Quarter Horse) while setting a good example for her peers, including a large contingent of seven female riders.A native of Ravensdale, Wash., Doll has ridden in recognized races since 1976, a 37-year career in which she has won multiple riding titles on the state's Blue Mountain circuit of Sun Downs, Walla Walla, Dayton and Waitsburg. Doll also won titles at Harbor Park (Elma) and Kalispell, Mont., and has enjoyed success riding Arabians and Quarter Horses, in addition to Thoroughbreds.The Martin Durkan Award, chosen by Director of Racing Bret Anderson and staff, honors trainers that exhibit leadership, cooperation, sportsmanship and excellence on and off the track throughout the 75-day meeting.A 35-year-old native of Hidalgo, Mexico, Martinez has enjoyed a 15-win season including victories by 3-year-old gelding Mike Man's Gold in the $50,000 Seattle Slew Handicap and 4-year-old gelding Until You in a $30,000 allowance race. Owned by Coal Creek Farm, Until You also gave Martinez his first starter in the Longacres Mile, finishing seventh in the race won by Herbie D. Martinez branched out two years ago, after stints with Vann Belvoir as assistant trainer and Howard Belvoir as groom.A 46-year-old native of Michoacan, Mexico, Pimentel is a popular backstretch figure and has been instrumental in helping the track's Quarter Horse racing program. A longtime assistant to the late Craig Roberts, Pimentel began his career in Southern California with trainer Jay Robbins in 1983. Coincidentally. Pimentel earned Trainer of The week honors for September 20-22, compiling a 2-2-0 record in five starts.

text: Home Culture When to Snitch on a Suspected Cheater Ask Demetria: Got proof that a friend's hubby is trolling online for dates? Warn her tactfully. By: Demetria Lucas D'Oyley Posted: July 12 2012 12:39 AM 0 Thinkstock (The Root) -- "I saw my friend's husband on a dating website. They have children and I don't want to disrupt their home. I'm torn. Please help. Do I tell her, and if so, how?" --T.T. In general, I'm not a fan of friends or family disclosing when they think someone in a relationship is up to activity that they shouldn't be up to. Even when the person is right, there's usually no definitive proof, and the person cheating doesn't readily confess. The situation turns into a messy "he said, she said," and because there's no real confirmation, the couple stays together anyway. Even when solid evidence exists that a partner has been unfaithful, a lot of people like to shoot the so-called messenger. The person who gets tipped off may not be willing to take actions with his or her partner. Instead that person may look for someone to blame. The friend, who thought she was doing the right thing, often becomes the target of that person's anger and gets kicked to the curb instead of the unfaithful partner. In your case, take the risk of losing your friendship and disclose to your friend what you have found. You wouldn't be a very good friend if you had seemingly solid proof that her husband was at the very least looking to cheat and you didn't tell her. And you don't need to be concerned about disrupting their home -- that's on Mr. Married for being on the dating website. You've stumbled across something that's more damning than seeing your friend's husband sitting across a table from a woman or picking her up from her home, neither of which really indicates any wrongdoing, since there are plenty of aboveboard reasons for both to occur. You discovered a married man on a dating website, and the logical explanation for why he would be there is that he's looking to step out on his wife. Of course, there's always the chance that his wife could know -- it would be naive to pretend that open marriages don't exist -- but it's more likely that she doesn't. Don't tell your friend what you found; show her. Send her an email -- blind-copy yourself -- with a screenshot of his dating profile and let her see it for herself. A simple, "Hey, [insert friend's name], I found this on XYZ and thought you should see" will suffice. Add that she should give you a call if she wants to talk. There's no need to add commentary about what you think her husband being on a dating site means. You're a smart woman; so is she. Let her figure it out. He's unlikely to confess and more likely to delete the profile and concoct some wild story to tell his wife before the deadline. Trust that whatever tale he weaves will make you look inappropriate (to discredit you when you do tell her), and he becomes the good guy. Even if you still have a screenshot of what you initially found as proof, your friend will be confused and may be more likely to believe her husband's versions of events -- and as his wife, she should give him the benefit of the doubt -- than yours. There's no need to make a messy situation messier. Once you've shared what you found with your friend, she'll likely want the backstory on how you found it. If she does, tell her. But if she asks what to do, your answer should be, "I don't know. Only you and your husband can decide that." You may be the bearer of bad news, but don't get mixed up in any back-and-forth between your friend and her husband. If she needs to talk, listen, but don't offer any advice on how she should proceed, whether it's to confront him, leave him or any other option she may want to take. It's their marriage, and ultimately they are the only ones who can decide what to do with it. On the off chance that she doesn't come back to you about what you've told her, double-check to make sure the email went through (that's why you bcc'd yourself). If it did, drop it. She may be embarrassed (though she has no reason to be), or perhaps she decided to handle it privately or even not address it at all with her husband. There's the possibility that she knew about his profile, and perhaps his infidelity is an ongoing issue in their marriage. She may even be cheating, too. There's a lot that goes on in other people's relationships, and even the closest friends aren't privy to certain details. Good luck! Demetria L.

It is fueled by the power of information technology to acquire, store, process and transmit data compactly, inexpensively and at greater speeds than ever before. Ten years ago, most digital content was textual. Today, graphical and audiovisual I/O devices are in widespread use, and modern personal computers and interaction devices have multimedia capabilities. As a result, current digital content additionally comprises speech, audio, video and graphics. Ubiquitous sensing devices further increase the global volume of digital data. The availability of digital content in different modalities and increasingly pervasive access to the Internet combine to make a host of information available to anyone, at any time.
Given these trends, the challenge now is to organize, understand, search and interface this multimodal information in a robust, efficient and intelligent way, and to create dependable systems that support natural and intuitive multimodal interaction. The Cluster of Excellence on Multimodal Computing and Interaction was established by the German Research Foundation (DFG) within the framework of the German Excellence Initiative in November 2007. After five years of sucessfull research, the cluster is now going into its second phase, starting in November 2012.
The cluster comprises the Computer Science and Computational Linguistics and Phonetics departments of Saarland University, the Max Planck Institute for Informatics, the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence, and the newly established Max Planck Institute for Software Systems. An integral goal of our cluster is the promotion of young researchers, and as such, we have committed the majority of our allocated funds to the establishment of several independent research groups.

From Global Warming Art
Other sizes: 100, 200, 300, Full Size (325x450, 21KB)
Svante Arrhenius was the 1903 Nobel laureate in chemistry (for his understanding of electrolytic chemistry) and the first person to calculate the greenhouse warming associated with carbon dioxide (Arrhenius 1896, PDF (4 MB)). Combining this with existing work suggesting that the burning of fossil fuels could significantly alter the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (Högbom 1894), Arrhenius became the first person to predict the possibility of man-made global warming. His prediction that significant global warming would take ~3000 years to develop (Arrhenius 1908) is now recognized as a substantial underestimate due in part to his failure to foresee the rapid increases in fossil fuel use during the twentieth century.
Arrhenius is also sometimes mistakenly credited with discovering the greenhouse effect. The possibility that the atmosphere trapped heat (i.e. the greenhouse effect) had been widely discussed by Arrhenius' contemporaries and predecessors (e.g. Fourier 1827); however, Arrhenius should be recognized as the first to quantify the significance of carbon dioxide to this process. His original crude estimate of ~5 °C warming from a doubling of carbon dioxide, is larger but not greatly different from the 1.5-4.5 °C now estimated for such a doubling (IPCC 2001).

Skin care technology has made great strides in correcting the flaws resulting from sun damage to the skin. In particular, light therapy has emerged as the most effective method of combating the effects of aging in the skin. Cells in the skin and supporting tissue absorb wavelengths between 590 and 950 nanometers. Our cells/tissues convert this light energy into "fuel" that is used to increase cellular metabolism. The use of light is safe, pain free, and inexpensive, compared with earlier skin care solutions like laser skin resurfacing and facelifts. Today, everyone can enjoy relaxing, painless light therapy treatments that dramatically improve skin appearance with Baby Quasar.
Collagen and elastin are key components that are required to keep skin supple and flexible. Without these vital proteins, skin begins to sag and wrinkle. Collagen and elastin levels naturally reduce with age. The application of red and infrared light to the skin can help to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. The Quasar MD Plus delivers red and infrared light to the skin in the comfort of your own home. This non-invasive appliance can help to address the characteristic signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles. When you are travelling or if you prefer to care for your skin on the go, you may prefer to use the Baby Quasar Plus. This smaller appliance provides the same number of LEDs, it simply uses a smaller sized bulb. Because the active area of the Baby Quasar Plus is smaller, treating your entire complexion will take slightly longer than it would with the larger Quasar MD Plus.
Blemishes are often triggered by hormonal activity in the body. The teenage years and menopause can lead to increased breakouts due to hormonal changes. Inflammation, redness and blemishes can be caused by bacteria in the skin, which enters blocked pores. Light on the blue spectrum can kill bacteria and help to improve the appearance of the skin. The Quasar MD Blue and the smaller Baby Quasar Blue help to reduce breakouts without drying the skin. These high-tech appliances can be used safely on all types of skin.

Auburn Hills, MI (Sports Network) - Brandon Knight filled the stat sheet with
20 points, 10 assists and six rebounds in Detroit's 117-99 victory over the
Cleveland Cavaliers.
Kyle Singler also scored 20 points and Greg Monroe contributed 18 with 16
rebounds for Detroit, which beat Cleveland for a fifth straight time. Rodney
Stuckey totaled 14 points for the Pistons, who snapped a two-game skid.
Detroit won despite not having newly-acquired point guard Jose Calderon
available for the game. He isn't able to play yet due to visa issues.
The Pistons acquired Calderon Wednesday night from the Toronto Raptors in a
three-team deal that also included the Memphis Grizzlies. Tayshaun Prince
and Austin Daye were sent to the Grizzlies, who shipped star guard Rudy Gay
north of the border.
The Cavs, who have lost back-to-back contests following a three-game winning
streak, were led by Tristan Thompson's 19 points.

Fiscal cliff legislation doesn't solve defense problem
'Cloud of uncertainty' remains; civilian workers face pain
Tuesday's fiscal cliff legislation puts off $550 billion in defense spending cuts that would have started with the new year, but the Pentagon said Wednesday that the deal passed by Congress will likely have some effect on the fiscal 2013 defense budget and on planning for 2014.
Exactly what impact is unclear. Pentagon spokesman George Little said defense officials are waiting for guidance from the federal Office of Management and Budget. If no additional legislation is passed, the automatic spending cuts will occur March 1.
If the sweeping decade-long defense reductions, known as sequestration, had gone forward this week, the Pentagon planned to temporarily furlough civilian workers rather than ax uniformed troops.
Uniformed personnel were expected to be exempt from cuts in the first year of sequestration.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Wednesday that over the past few weeks his office started looking at where the blow, which amounts to 10 percent of the military budget, would land.
"As we were forced to begin preparing to implement this law, my concerns about its damaging effects have only grown," he said in a released statement.
"As an example, had Congress failed to act, I would have been required to send out a notice to our 800,000 civilian employees that they could be subject to furlough."
In the San Diego region, more than 25,000 civilian workers are employed by the Defense Department and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, according to figures from the San Diego Military Advisory Council.
One Navy official said that leaders there were feeling a tremendous sense of relief on Wednesday, despite knowing it was only short term. Without this reprieve, almost immediate cuts to operations and maintenance would have loomed, the official said.
Rep. Susan Davis, D-San Diego, voted for the legislation and said Wednesday that it buys time.
"Let's continue the bipartisanship and replace sequestration with responsible spending," Davis said in a statement issued by her office. "I will work hard to ensure that we don't hurt San Diego's economy or our national security."
Others had few kind words for the legislation, saying it doesn't solve the larger threat to the defense budget.
Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Alpine, voted against the 11th-hour bill Tuesday. His spokesman said the "cloud of uncertainty" remains.
"Businesses and our military should find no comfort in the latest deal or somehow take it to mean that the threat of sequestration has been lifted," Joe Kasper, Hunter's deputy chief of staff, said in a written statement.
"Just as the case with taxes or business, there needs to be certainty and clear line of sight downrange for national defense. And we're definitely getting neither as long as sequestration is on the horizon."
SDMAC President Larry Blumberg said he is concerned that if the military cuts start in March, they will be compressed into the months left in the fiscal year – potentially becoming even more painful. In rough math, $55 billion over seven months equates to more than $7 billion a month.
He is not optimistic that the larger deficit issues – how to balance tax increases and spending cuts -- will be resolved in another two months.
"Nothing has changed," Blumberg said Wednesday. "They kicked the ball downstream."
For months, SDMAC and other business groups have warned that sequestration –- on top of roughly $500 billion in cuts the Pentagon voluntarily agreed to take over a decade -– would cripple the regional economy. About 300,000 jobs in San Diego County are tied to defense spending, so a 10 percent cut equals 30,000 positions.
On the other hand, military officials have long said they expected austerity measures after years of record-high defense spending.

Dick Trickle - Goodbye and Godspeed to a Short Track LegendWritten by on September 20, 2013 Contributors: The Circle Track Archives A Photo Retrospective of One of the Most Prolific Short Track Racers in the Country, Dick Trickle
It was October of 2010 and the Circle Track crew was hovering over the Project G.R.E.E.N. Camaro in the pits at LaCrosse Speedway in Wisconsin. Many of you will remember that project car as our EFI/E85 experiment with the United States Department of Energy. We had come to LaCrosse's annual Oktoberfest weekend in the hopes of proving that we could build a competitive race car using current OEM vechile technology and an alternative fuel. Our chosen race was the Dick Trickle 99—a 99-lap Super Late Model race named in honor of the short track legend.
There we were pondering the setup when the race's namesake sauntered up to take a closer look at our car. He peered right into the engine compartment and said, "Looks like that came straight out of a production car." Our response of "it did, more or less," touched off a lengthy conversation about newer technologies in short track racing. He was fascinated by what we were doing and took a genuine interest how these technologies could help short track racing. He told us later that the late model Camaro body caught his eye, but the motor is what interested him the most.
In a long career, Trickle competed in thousands of races across a multitude of sanctions and is believed to have won more than 1,200 features, earning him the moniker, the winningest short track driver in history. His career highlights include racing to 67 wins in 1972, winning seven ARTGO Championships in nine years (1979 to 1987), winning back to back ASA AC-Delco Challenge championships in 1984 and 1985, the 1968 USAC Stock Car rookie of the year, and winning the 1989 NASCAR Rookie of the Year award in what was then called the Winston Cup Series (now Sprint Cup).
Sadly, Trickle took his own life on May 16, 2013 presumably to end the physical pain of an undiagnosed illness.
In his honor, we thought it would be fun to crack open the Circle Track archives and show some of the photos of Dick that may never have been published before.
Trickle began racing when he was 16, in a 1950 Ford that he bought for $100
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
One of Trickle's two Busch Series victories came behind the wheel of Dennis Shoemaker's Schneider Trucking sponsored Chevrolet at Darlington in 1998.Trickle even has his own race named after him, the Dick Trickle 99 held annually at LaCrosse Speedway's Oktoberfest event.Trickle was teammate to Bobby Allison when the 1984 Winston Cup Champ was nearly killed at Pocono. Trickle along with many other drivers sported "Hurry Back Bobby" stickers in support of the injured driver.Trickle was a fixture around the Wisconsin short tracks even in his later years shown here with ARCA Midwest Tour Series owner Tim Olson.
Trickle, standing fourth from the left, took part in the Geoff Bodine Challenge in 2006 and 2007, a charity bobsled race where NASCAR and NHRA drivers competed against one another to raise funds for the U.S. team's Olympic endeavors.Trickle won the Bobby Isaac Award in 2006, presented annually by Charlotte's Motor Speedway to an individual or group in recognition of outstanding contribution to short-track racing.Trickle's lone Cup Series victory came in the 1990 Winston Open, the non-points consolation race prior to the All-Star Race at Charlotte Motor Speedway. He was behind the wheel of Cale Yarborough's Trop-Arctic sponsored Pontiac.
Mark Martin shown here racing to the outside of Trickle at North Wilkesboro on October 15, 1989, credits the elder driver as always willing to lend a hand. "He raced us real hard on the racetrack, but off the racetrack he was very free with parts or advice. He gave freely. Really, really good dude."
