Sale Price:
When Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon in 1969, they personified an almost unimaginable featthe incredibly complex task of sending humans safely to another celestial body. This extraordinary odyssey, which grew from the rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War, was galvanized by the Sputnik launch in 1957.
To mark the fiftieth anniversary of Sputnik, National Geographic recaptures this gripping moment in the human experience with a lively and compelling new account. Written by Smithsonian curator Von Hardesty and researcher Gene Eisman, Epic Rivalry tells the story from both the American and the Russian points of view, and shows how each space-faring nation played a vital role in stimulating the work of the other. Scores of rare, unpublished, and powerful photographs recall the urgency and technical creativity of both nations' efforts.
The authors recreate in vivid detail the "parallel universes" of the two space exploration programs, with visionaries Wernher von Braun and Sergei Korolev and political leaders John F. Kennedy and Nikita Khrushchev at the epicenters. The conflict between countries, and the tense drama of their independent progress, unfolds in vivid prose.
Von Hardesty is the author of Air Force One; Lindbergh: Flight's Enigmatic Hero; and Red Phoenix: The Rise of Soviet Air Power, 1941-1945, among many other publications. He is a curator at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. Gene Eisman is a veteran journalist and was the researcher for Air Force One.
"A balanced, reader-friendly re-creation of the origins, progress, thrills and perils attending a prestigious race, desperately important at the time, only dimly remembered today."Kirkus

I remember now. I found PD through the Pikachu Skateboard game, not because of the drawing boards. It was a game that was hosted by Nintendo, but ever since Nintendo dropped the game all of the fansites who also hosted the game lost the data. So PD has a broken game on the site.
I used to play it for a good hour or two at times. I was pretty good at it after a while, but there was no music so I would have iTunes playing in the background.
Now-a-days I just play something like Robot Unicorn Attack...
It's weird how long I used to be able to do literally one thing on the internet in one sitting when I was younger. Now I have to keep switching websites to look for new content to absorb or else I get bored.

Health officials confirm that two Marianna Middle School students have likely been infected with the contagious and potentially dangerous disease, viral meningitis, but they say there is no cause for alarm.
Lucille Speights isn't panicking, but she is concerned. She stopped by the school Thursday to find out if she should worry about her son.
"He just said he was itching and had a couple of bumps, and so my concern was I was going to go and have it checked out," Speights says.
Vicki Fuqua is also worried, not so much for her grandson who lives with her, but more for her husband because of his relatively weaker immune system.
"His grandfather has multiple-myaloma and some other things that compromise his immune system and so that scares me even more," says Fuqua.
According to information sent to parents on Wednesday, viral meningitis can be more dangerous to people with weaker immune systems and some of its symptoms do include a cold or rash with a low-grade fever, but officials say they don't expect any more students to get sick because of precautions they took immediately after they got word of the two infected students.
"We had custodians from other schools here in Marianna to come in yesterday afternoon and assist our custodial staff in wiping down everything that we could put our hands on with a solution of bleach and water," explains Marianna Middle School Principal Randy Ward.
Even so, school and health officials say there is no way to know for sure if other students may become infected, but they say they are encouraged by what has been relayed as two minor cases of Viral Meningitis.
Viral meningitis symptoms include:
- fever
-severe headache
-stiff neck
-bright lights hurt eyes
-nausea and vomiting
Good prevention:
-frequent and thorough hand-washing
-cleaning exposed areas with bleach and water (1 capful of bleach to 1 gallon of water)

The Coracao Oompa's have taken it to a new level once again. I thought it was going to be hard to top moving to stone ground almond butter in their bars, but they continue to prove us wrong.
I've sampled each of these, and they are so incredibly amazing. Unique each unto itself. The smoked salt (cool process done under 115 degrees) is NOT overly done, just right enough to give your tastebuds that little zing. The original and kaffir lime you've come to love in their bars, so 'nuff said. The Ceylon cinnamon.... transcendent. -Zack

ZF-10495: Background
I had difficulties to understand the startImage function. For mean the goal is to use the background of the placed picture however the picture background will be ever set on white value.
(Ligne 505 $bg_color = imagecolorallocate($img2, 255, 255, 255); de Zend\Captcha\Image.php)
It's not possible to add transparency without use the function imagecolorallocatealpha() or fix this ?
Another problem, the render is set with width and height size (getWidth() et getHeight()). As attributes of classe have default value, if I pass the image the image will be displayed considering the _width and _height values.
It's does make sense to let the width and height dimension to original picture or it could be more efficient to let only by default the SRC picture url instead of use HTML code. Zend can be use like compounment separe display render (html code in a classe..) and the code. (MVC)
A last question, it's not possible to use Zend_Captcha_Word with only digits number or regular expression (using $-^ .. symbols).
Currently it's just possible to chose letters only or mixed charsets (numbers and letters). Can you increase the possibility of Captcha_Word component to let user use default pattern or regular expression? (Like only string, numbers, etc.)
Thanks a lot
Have you some news to fix these problems ?
up.. ?
I think your odds of a developer taking care of things would increase if you posted one issue per item - so that they can be handled individually. Also, questions should better go to the forums. Issues, accompanied by repro code, should be taken care of quick promptly.

It was all fine and as described. The communication with the hosts and reception were spotless, just like the apartment. The pictures give a good impression. Thanks!
Es war alles einwandfrei und wie beschrieben. Die Kommunikation mit den Gastgebern und der Empfang waren tadellos, genauso, wie das Apartment. Die Fotos vermitteln einen guten Eindruck. Danke!
Once again, a thank you to the hosts. We have all been found as described and have experienced interesting days in Vienna. Apartment is recommended without restrictions on!
Nochmals ein Dankeschön an die Gastgeber. Wir haben alles wie beschrieben angefunden und haben interessante Tage in Wien erlebt. Apartment ist ohne Einschränkungen weiter zu empfehlen!
The accommodation was perfect '(and even better than expected!) Our expectations. No unpleasant surprises. Home friendly. Equipment at the top. Read our car safely in the underground garage of the building was very reassuring. The extreme proximity of the subway has easier for us, as well as the convenience store on the corner. The quiet is also a valuable asset. In short, flawless! Thank you to Florian and Nina.
Le logement correspondait parfaitement'(et même mieux que prévu!) à notre attente. Aucune surprise désagréable. Accueil sympathique. Equipement au top.
Savoir notre voiture en sécurité dans le garage souterrain de l'immeuble fut très rassurant.
La proximité extrême du métro nous a bien facilité les choses, de même que la supérette du coin. L'environnement calme est également un atout appréciable. Bref, un sans faute ! Merci à Florian et Nina.
This is a perfect place to stay for two or three adults or two adults and two children. It looks exactly as in the photos. Very quiet area but restaurants, bars and super market very close. 10 minutes walk to the old town centre or two stops by metro train. The apartment is so nice and the hosts Florian and Nina replies very quickly and professional to emails. We can highly recommend this apartment, only minor thing to mentioned is that the sofa bed would not be that suitable for two adults - whereas one adult or two children would be OK. Everything else in the apartment is very nice.
the apartment in Vienna was very pleasant and quiet. For us, we have come with the car and the underground parking was very convenient, especially since the city is in Fußdistanz. We have felt ourselves very well.
das Apartment in Wien war sehr angenehm und ruhig. Für uns, die wir mit dem Auto gekommen sind war auch der Tiefgaragenstellplatz sehr praktisch, zumal die Innenstadt in Fußdistanz ist. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.
Really nic place. Very comfortable, clean, mordern and well situated. Thank you Nina and Florian
This apartment is terrific. Very comfortable, clean, mordern and well situated. The host was waiting for us and explain everything to us clearly. In addition, very easy to contact if you have a question. We loved it and will definitely come back if we go back to Vienna. Thank you Nina and Florian
The apartment we liked it very well. The central location and the excellent facilities of the apartment leaves no wish unfulfilled. Florian and Nina try very hard to make your stay as nice as possible.
Das Apartment hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Die zentrale Lage und die gute Ausstattung des Apartments lässt keine Wünsche offen. Florian und Nina bemühen sich sehr den Aufenthalt so schön als möglich zu gestalten.
We spent 4 great days exploring the city. This apartment had all we needed and the location is great - whether we were walking home late at night from the Riesenrad or from the Opera. A tramstop just outside the main door to the street connects you to anywhere. We loved the fact that the flat is in an interior courtyard, very quiet at night! For breakfast there is a little bakery nearby - no problem to get the Java fix first thing in the morning! If you have heavy luggage or bad knees this is not the place for you - anyone else will love the character of the staircase!
We in the beautiful attic apartment very well gefühlt.Die central location was vorteilhaft.Vielen Thanks!
Wir haben uns in der schönen Dachgeschoßwohnung sehr wohl gefühlt.Die zentrale Lage war vorteilhaft.Vielen Dank!

Katahira, Buelow battle; Jutanugarn rolls at LPGA Tour qualifier
Published: Thursday, November 29, 2012 at 5:24 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, November 29, 2012 at 7:32 p.m.
DAYTONA BEACH — While 18-year-old Moriya Jutanugarn continues to have her way with LPGA International, back in the pack the jockeying begins in an effort to enter the weekend with a shot at this week's ultimate parting gift: A ticket to the 2013 LPGA Tour.
LPGA Qualifier
WHAT: LPGA Tour's final qualifying tournament
WHERE: LPGA International in Daytona Beach — Champions and Legends Courses
WHEN: Third round Friday, tournament continues through Sunday. Friday's tee times run from 8 to 9:50 a.m. on both courses from the first and 10th tees.
AT STAKE: 121 players hoping to finish in the top 20 and earn full exemption on the 2013 LPGA Tour
IF YOU GO: Admission is free. Follow signs to on-site parking. No cameras, cellphones on silent.
MORE INFO: lpga.com
Among the grinders are Mitsuki Katahira and Alex Buelow, who are still in the picture, still optimistic, but far — very far — from comfortable.
"It's a marathon out here," Buelow, the former Stetson University standout, said of the five-day qualifier.
Buelow, who left Stetson this spring with three straight Player of the Year nods from the Atlantic Sun Conference, battled through a rough start Thursday (3 over par through seven holes) to shoot a 2-over 74 on the Champions Course. Following her first-round 73 on the Legends Course, she's at 3 over and tied for 53rd in the 121-player field.
Katahira, two-time national junior college champ at Daytona State College (2010-11), shot a 1-under 71 on the Champions on the heels of her 1-over 73 on the Legends. Her even-par total is good for a tie for 30th. The field is cut to the low 70 and ties after Saturday's fourth round, and after Sunday's final round the top 20 finishers earn full exemptions for the 2013 LPGA Tour.
Katahira's scorecard — two birdies, one bogey — looks rather uneventful, and it was, except for four straight makable birdie putts on the back nine that burned the edges of the cup.
"I just kept touching the cup; it was getting annoying," said Katahira, who finally dropped a birdie on the 16th before finishing par-par. "I wanted to shoot a little lower today, but I'm happy with how I played."
Buelow, playing in her first LPGA Tour qualifier, made birdies on 9 and 11 to get her round turned around but after four straight pars, a fairway bunker and bad chip led to a double-bogey on the 16th. A birdie on 18 got her back to 2 over.
Buelow is playing with a bandaged right wrist, the result of a longtime battle with tendinitis, she said.
"It's a little sore, but it doesn't affect my golf," Buelow said. "I just need to get through this week."
Jessy Tang, former University of Central Florida golfer who now lives in Daytona Beach, shot a 10-over 82 and is tied for 116th at 14-over 158. Tang shot 4-over 76 on Wednesday.
There's been no visible struggle for Thailand's Jutanugarn, who followed a first-day 68 with a Thursday 66 for a three-shot lead over Lacey Agnew of Jonesboro, Ga. (70-67).
LPGA veteran Christina Kim shot a 5-under 67 and is alone in third at 5-under 139. That lead threesome plays together Friday, starting from the first tee of the Legends Course at 9:39 a.m.

Gardening Articles: Flowers :: Annuals
Starting from Seed
by Cheryl Dorschner
Gryniewicz checks on some of the hundreds of seedlings he starts in his basement.
Wide-eyed innocence coupled with invention and fastidiousness define gardener Jerry Gryniewicz. This northern Vermonter is the gardening equivalent of a folk artist. He's not plugged into any networks of gardeners or garden groups, relying only on seed catalogs and a few well-chosen references for inspiration.
Flipping through the pages of a garden-design book bursting with photos of profusely blooming perennials and annuals, Gryniewicz shakes his head. Other gardens all look alike to me. Even though I appreciate more manicured flower gardens, they're not for me. My garden is just as I want it -- comfortable, a place where the flowers live among the people who visit."
When he phoned in his seed orders last year to three companies, all three of them started asking him questions. Among other things, they wanted to know just how big his gardens were. And could they come and visit? Altogether, he spent nearly $170 for 64 packs of seeds (plus a few bulbs).
This garden is unique because it grows to the beat of a different drummer. If he perceives any influences at all, Gryniewicz postulates that they are the gardens at Versailles, although he is adamantly not formal. Or maybe his garden reflects the influence of his grandfather whom he gardened alongside in France for two weeks each summer during early childhood. "But he grew only vegetables. I grow only flowers -- except snow peas, which my cat likes to eat." He reasons, "I only have so much space, and my goal is to create an environment drastically different from my work day. Flowers force me to relax." After his work day ends at 3:30 p.m., he spends four hours working in the garden.
However, Gryniewicz's planting paradise is on a rented plot. "I know I'm taking a big chance that I could lose this place, but I can't let that stop me from fulfilling my dream," he says. (He has talked to his landlord, he says, about the possibility of an option to buy.)
Last year's plantings included over a hundred different kinds of annua. He sowed 'Victoria' salvia, as well as 'Flamingo Feather' celosia, green zinnia, 'French Vanilla' marigold, 'Joseph's Coat' amaranth, 'Blue Horizon' ageratum, and two kinds of Lavatera trimestris: 'Pink Beauty' and 'Ruby Regis'.
Although the plants he grows are sometimes standard, his combinations are not. Where else would pink and lavender 5-foot-tall asters form hedgerows alongside a huge "wall" of purple, pink, and white buddleia, arching sunflowers, and mixed colors of cosmos?

Less than a year after opening its doors, City Creek Center is already receiving worldwide attention. The center was named "Best Retail Development, USA" on Dec. 7 during the International Property Awards for 2012.
This award considered establishments across North, Central and South America. City Creek also received a top-three-ranking among more than 2,000 entries in 89 countries for the "World's Best Retail Development" category.
Michigan-based Taubman Centers manages City Creek and co-developed the center with City Creek Reserve, Inc., a private real estate company The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints owns. Both organizations have longevity and long arms that already have a worldwide reach. So Ron Loch, vice president of planning and design for Taubman, was comfortable accepting the award in London. Loch said, "City Creek Center broke new ground, from sustainable design and community collaboration to breathtaking features and amenities."
Time will tell if City Creek's visitors, local, domestic and international also rate it as the Best Retail Development in the U.S. by walking and dining it's now world class status.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 39 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Zazatik Very nice capiz latern with versatility for presentation The lantern is beautifully simple and very nice when lit. We converted a boring recessed hallway light into something much nicer using this lantern and some additional pieces. I added a ceiling medallion and a conversion kit to make the recessed light into a hanging light. We're very happy with the end result. September 4, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by NH4444 Love! Perfect! Attached to standard ceiling fan. Better than I pictured! September 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by lamphappy pretty Beautiful! Used this to replace a single shade that came with the house. Love capiz. Got a windchime for outside but the wind tangles the windchime. Was gonna get another as they come in white to hang in bedroom. Saw this and decided to buy and if I didn't like it would buy the windchime and replace but this is pretty. May switch this to bedroom and get one in white to mix and match for better contrast. Was planning to paint the base in ORB and add a medallion but much improved from prior shade and too difficult with steps so saving for a future rainy day. January 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Snow Just awesome! My box just arrived about 1 hour ago... happy to open these pretty things up. One of the items I ordered was this Coffee Capez Hanging Pendant. I really sort of expected it to look a bit on the cheap (I really dislike that word)... but wow! It is not! I love this sweet little fixture! Its light, it has a very pretty shine and casts a wonderful shimmer in our sophisticated blue/gray bedroom - especially when paired with our dark chocolate furnishings, icy blue accessories, and our white gathered sheers I also ordered from World Market about two month ago. I am soooo glad I decided to buy this. I just can't stop smiling! Pay full boat - its worth every penny! May 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by renski Love Love Love this was a perfect solution to a back hall to basement light. I wasnt sure if i should go with a traditional hanging pendant (too small) a chandelier (too hard to dust) or an enclosed outdoor light (too ugly). This was the perfect solution. Softens the light and the brown is striated with pearlescent colors...unique and fun!!! Perfect size as well. March 19, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by kimfromaustin I owe the reviewers a Million Thanks! I do not know that I would have looked at this light twice if it was not for the reviewers' comments. I hung this light outside in my covered atrium over a bistro table and chairs, which are also found at World Market. The light adds that little extra. Well worth the price especially when I started to price them elsewhere. World Market please don't discontinue these lights or allow them to go out of stock as I am sure I will find more places for them in my humble abode. March 22, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ms. Satisfied I want more of this product! I love it and I'm going back to the store to purchase another one. I hung it in my home office/fashion studio, and it gives the room a warm and inviting feel. March 15, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ann LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! Bought the larger version after I retired to the Beach. Pricey, but well worth it in looks and compliments. I hung it from small ceiling plant hooks around the perimeter about 1-1/2" from ceiling beneath recessed can light over my jacuzzi tub for a unique chandelier effect. Wonderful light patterns on walls and ceiling. So relaxing while soaking and enjoying soft music and a glass of wine. I would only suggest this way of using if you have a recessed ceiling light because it is dangerous to use light kit plug near water. Also used larger version to replace an outdated shade on an antique bronze floor lamp. I used a candle type bulb so the light is not harsh or blinding. Just the right amount of light to converse with friends or to watch TV. Shells cast patterns around walls and 16' ceiling. I put a seashell from my collection over the shade cap to finish the look. Get lots of compliments. November 25, 2011

JOHNSON CITY (Nov. 11, 2011) – The ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics will introduce a new mascot for the program on Tuesday, Nov. 15, at halftime of the Buccaneers' men's basketball game against Appalachian State.
The new mascot will step in for the recently retired "Bucky," who made his final official appearance at last week's men's basketball game against Carson-Newman. He is now reportedly enjoying a vacation in the Hawaii islands.
Fans are encouraged to participate in this special event, which will include a retrospective look at former ETSU mascots, as well as a visit from some of the past's most beloved Buc supporters.

Saturday's Duckcast
Friday, Nov. 25, 11:30 a.m. PT
But those laurels are for resting on some other time, and the team's focus after introductions will we locked on Oregon State. For the expected weather conditions of the 115th Civil War, we turn to Oregon AMS Vice President Bobby Corser with the official Duckcast:
"The Oregon Ducks welcome in their rival from up north. Oregon State will make the short trip from Corvallis and the crowd at Autzen Stadium can't wait to greet them. The Beavers come in following a win against Washington, while our Ducks went to the wire with USC. The conditions last week were almost perfect, considering the November weather we've had lately. This Saturday, as the 115th edition of The Civil War kicks off, weather again won't be an issue. Temperatures will be in the 40s as the game starts and will stay right around there for the duration. Some fog will grace the landscape early in the day and the skies will be cloudy. I don't see any rain. A light southeast wind will make it feel a bit chillier, but overall, it will be a great day for football. If you're heading to the game, make sure to wear green and dress in layers. Cheer on the boys to a win over the Beavers and a spot in the Pac-12 Championship Game. Go Ducks!"
Saturday's game will be televised by ABC to more than 50 percent of the country and on ESPN2 to the rest (click HERE for the coverage map). If you're unsure of what channel ABC is on in your local market, click HERE. ESPN2 on DirecTV is channel 209 and on Dish Network it's channel 144.

Project Runway
THE PARTY It was an uberstylish affair for nearly 500 guests as the 12th annual Driehaus Awards for Fashion Excellence showcased the creations of 25 local fashion students. THE SCENE Hosted by Inese and Richard Driehaus, the event kicked-off with hors d'oeuvres and cocktails, and the high-energy runway presentation was matched with a live auction led by auction powerhouse Leslie Hindman. In total, more than $150,000 was raised for the Chicago Fashion Incubator and Driehaus Design Initiative's fashion and design endeavors. THE HIGHLIGHTS With an overwhelming amount of talent on display at this year's competition, it was no surprise that a tie was awarded for both first and second place for the first time in the competition's history. The two first-place winners, Gabriel Saldana and Rhylea Mortensen, received $5,000, as well as mentoring sessions with a Macy's retailer and admission to Chicago Fashion Incubator's quarterly seminars. We'll be on the lookout for their designs, which are set to be on display at Macy's on State Street. Photography by Allen Bourgeois and Francis Son

We know how hard you work to achieve financial security. Are you working just as hard to insure proper distribution of your accumulated wealth?
We would like to work with you to insure that you have the appropriate plan for your estate. Otherwise, you could lose as much as 38 to 70 percent of your estate's value to taxes, probate and other expenses leaving only a small portion to those you cherish. Proper education and planning will avoid such a disaster. Reducing estate taxes is important, but estate planning is more than just looking for ways to reduce the tax burden. When it's done right, estate planning is about exercising control over what happens to your wealth. The truth is: someone is going to get your money.
If you're not prepared, that "someone" will be the government. On the other hand, if you take the appropriate steps, you can decide who benefits. In other words, estate planning can help your hard-won wealth continue to do good things for the people and organizations you care about. .

Services provided by local government include education, culture, health,
social welfare, road maintenance, public parks, water, and sanitation. Each
local authority functions through by-laws complementing national laws, which
have been approved by the Ministry of the Interior. Some authorities operate
special courts in which transgressors of local by-laws are tried. Financing for
local authorities comes from local taxes, as well as allocations from the state
budget. Every authority has a comptroller who prepares an annual report.
The law recognizes three types of local authorities: municipalities, which
provide the framework for urban centers with populations of over 20,000; local
councils, which manage towns with populations of between 2,000 and 20,000; and
regional councils, which are responsible for several villages grouped within a
certain radius.
Each local authority is administered by a mayor or chairperson and a council.
The number of council members is determined by the Ministry of the Interior,
according to the authority's population. Currently there are 73 municipalities,
124 local councils and 54 regional councils.
All municipalities and local councils are united, on a voluntary basis, in a
central body, the Union of Local Authorities, which represents them before the
government, monitors relevant legislation in the Knesset and provides guidance
on issues such as work agreements and legal affairs. Affiliated with the
International Association of Municipalities, the union maintains ties with
similar organizations throughout the world, and arranges twin cities programs
and exchanges of international delegations.

Local Elections
Elections for local government are conducted by secret ballot every five
years. All permanent residents, whether Israeli citizens or not, are eligible to
vote in local elections from age 17 and to be elected from age 21. In elections
for municipal and local councils, ballots are cast for a party list of
candidates, with the number of council seats attained by each list proportional
to the percentage of votes received. Mayors and chairpersons of local councils
are elected directly.
In regional council elections, one candidate of each village is elected by a
simple plurality, with those elected becoming members of the council. Heads of
regional councils are selected from among the regional council's
Local elections are financed by government appropriations, on
the basis of the number of mandates that each faction or list wins in the local

On the ground floor of the sprawling Dallas Market Center, Ray Sun, a smallish, friendly man with a youthful demeanor, was standing just outside his products showroom. Nearby his display window exhibited an array of precision machine parts, all gleaming and stainless steel, as well as a child's board game featuring dinosaurs.
Each of the displays has a creation story that Sun, 55, was eager to tell to a visitor one recent day. But when he was informed that his guest was a journalist, something extra lit up in Sun, who's the owner of a Plano-based consulting firm called Advantage China. He insisted that the reporter head straight for the Center's fourth floor to meet with two clients who, he proclaims, may have a hit on their hands at the Center's big gift show in January.
That chance encounter was intriguing to this writer. But it offered little hint of the colorful, dramatic route that Sun has followed from the teeming streets of Shanghai to studies in Montreal to serial business failures as a Toronto software entrepreneur to Dallas, where Sun has become a self-made, if belated, success in international commerce. In a nutshell, Sun has made it his business to make China work.
And, he'll make it work for anyone—from the U.S. units of Swiss-based multinational corporations to suburban Dallas housewives who think they've got the Next Big Thing. He's currently overseeing 20 projects, which he expects will triple revenue to eight figures for Advantage China next year, when several projects will go into full production. The two local women with whom Sun urged a meeting, for example, sold decorative items with a wholesale value of $7 million in their second year in business, after developing a product line with Sun's help. Then there are medium-sized companies that need to remain competitive with rivals already outsourcing to Asia, or others who can't quite find someone—in the United States or abroad—who can turn their idea into a marketable, blister-packed product priced to sell.
Sun says he can get a plastic prototype made in China for a fifth of the cost in the United States: $2,000 versus $10,000. For many would-be entrepreneurs, he says, the latter price would "kill" a project before it got off the ground. And that's why he's so valuable, he insists, to North Texas businesses. Among them: a company that supplies equipment for power plants, and another that makes a gadget for laying tile on mall floors.
Understanding The Process
Working as a transpacific consultant wasn't Sun's original idea when, in 2004, he followed his wife, a physician with two medical specialties, to Texas. Here, she took a position with a Fort Worth hospital. Using his software background, Sun built a website offering thousands of Chinese-made products. But he found few buyers. When he began offering his personal services as a hands-on go-between, however, Sun felt he had struck pay dirt. His first contract was for the creation of non-stick camping cookware for a Colorado maker of freeze-dried meals for hikers. His Shanghai-based staff of two—it since has grown to 10—identified four manufacturers with the ability to produce the plates and pans. When all the pieces arrived from various points, a warehouse was rented for a day, and temporary workers assembled the kits. "I made no money on that order," Sun recalls. "But it made me fully understand the process and gave me confidence that I could do it." Years later, the sets are still being made and sold.
Sun knew that finding a supplier is often less than half the job. Quality control remains an elusive concept in a country that is making great, but jagged, leaps from Third World practices to cutting-edge processes. Thousands of suppliers rely on networks of mom-and-pop workshops of varying reliability, few with any meaningful reviews or independent testing. Yet Sun discovered a small Chinese village that specialized in rubber products that meet American standards, for instance. Villagers there turn out countless window squeegees of "very good quality," he says. And although a large manufacturer won't set up a production line for a small order, hamlet workshops are more than happy to get the work.
Corruption and red tape are less a problem for him in China than spotty, or nonexistent, quality control, he contends. Another complication is that only a limited number of companies have coveted export licenses, necessitating the payment of a fee for their use, ranging from 1 percent to 1.5 percent of the shipment's value, he says. A food product would be a different matter, particularly after all the toxic contamination scandals in recent years. Foodstuffs require a myriad of licenses and protocols, which somehow still fail to stop periodic unsafe food incidents that plague China. For that reason, Sun steers clear of edibles and commodity imports.
Still, there are countless ways an unwary foreign importer can be cheated when bringing in non-food items. If it's made of plastic, Sun asks, is it made from inferior, recycled material? The answer: "They don't tell you."
For first-timers trying to get an item fabricated, there's the problem of where to begin. When prospective U.S. buyers use such popular Internet sites as Alibaba to source a product, they're unaware that more than half the listing companies are brokers, not actual
manufacturers, Sun says. "You can't do business by phone or email. You have to go there, wherever it is, and meet them face to face," Sun says. Only then, he adds, can you size up the operation and its ability to deliver.
"Ray Sun is right," attests Jeremy Haft, an American consultant who has run companies in China for the last 15 years and teaches at Georgetown University. "How big is the quality control problem? Huge. It pervades China's entire industrial and agricultural base. It goes way beyond just the attitude of the workers. One cause is severe fragmentation. So, take a look at a pen on your desk. This might take three players to make in the U.S." But in China it could take 15, Haft points out in an email. "All the sub operations occur at separate plants. Plus there are a number of middlemen involved in the distribution of the raw materials and the final product. Each player in the chain adds risk, time, and cost."
Sitting down with a would-be entrepreneur in Dallas or Denver, Sun says, he can bring an immediate reality check by factoring in likely manufacturing and shipping costs, then contrast that figure with what the object could fetch on the U.S. market. His napkin-back spreadsheet requires a U.S. selling price that's six times the cost in China, or the venture will fail.
His clients four floors up at the Market Center, for example, were two Plano women who, frustrated at the poor selection at major craft chains of decorations and accessories for their middle-school daughters' school lockers, designed their own products under the Locker Lookz brand. All they needed were manufacturers to turn their idea into a full line of mixed and matched "wallpaper," mirrors, miniature chandeliers and other gewgaws that only pre-teens crave. Attempts by Joanne Brewer and Christi Sterling to find a U.S. manufacturer that could produce the tiny lights proved fruitless. Sun, by contrast, found innovative Chinese companies that pulled it off.After a brief test season with a handful of retailers in 2010, Sterling and Brewer sold $7 million worth of goods in 2011. Sun had one employee dedicated full-time for a year to root out suppliers to produce 38 items—everything from paper products and mini-shag carpets to magnets and the battery-powered lights that automatically turned on and shut off when the locker door moves.
"Ray took us through it every step of the way," says Sterling. "He sent prototypes to China, and early samples were sent back and forth, each time tweaked." Product development was bird-dogged by Jenny Xu, the Sun employee in Shanghai assigned to the project for a year. Sterling and Brewer paid for the samples and air-courier charges, while Sun covered Xu's salary and travel expenses. If the goods came to market, he would get a percentage of sales.
But even Advantage China can get burned occasionally. Round magnets designed to hold up the locker "wallpaper" quickly fell down. The cost of the rare-earth alloys from which the magnets are made had skyrocketed in price that year, and the supplier waited until the last minute to secure enough of the expensive elements. Realizing he could no longer profitably deliver magnets made to promised specs, the supplier substituted 20,000 weaker ones. Not only did the company refuse to give a refund, but Sun had to find a new supplier and pay a lot more the second time around. Now, whatever the size of the shipment, Sun insists on complete article inspections: "Goods must be perfect before shipped."
Scarce Necessities
The offspring of the despised capitalist middle class, Sun was a teenager in Shanghai during the Cultural Revolution of Mao Zedong, then chairman of the Chinese Communist Party. Sun spent years memorizing Maoist slogans in school and says, "For 10 years, I learned nothing."
He considered himself lucky to own the officially approved biography of Gen. Georgy Zhukov, a Soviet hero of World War II, at a time of heightened political conformity, when most Chinese were deprived of Western literature (deemed "poisoned books"). And, even the most basic necessities were scarce. Sun's three-generation family of six shared a single bicycle.
As a boy, Sun knew that his mother came from a privileged class, that her father had owned a fruit-canning factory before the Chinese Revolution. But only later did he and his two sisters discover that their father's family too had been wealthy, owning land and buildings. Shocked and angry over being kept in the dark, Sun and his siblings confronted their mother, who defended herself by declaring, "Your Daddy never told me, either!"
Such were the times that a bourgeois heritage could deprive one of a school admission, a job, or a promotion. Even so, Sun managed to get a grounding in computers at a Shanghai university. He landed an IT job with the Shanghai center for disease control, where he met his future wife, Cecilier Chen Hua, a young doctor.
The 1989 pro-democracy protests and brutal crackdown in Beijing's Tiananmen Square occurred just as Sun and his wife were waiting for passports. His wife had just snagged a research fellowship in France, and Sun had won admission to McGill University in Montreal for graduate studies in medical statistics. In those tense days, passports could not be issued without final approval from superiors who had to vouch that the applicants were not dissidents. Sun says he had long been used to keeping his personal beliefs to himself.
After McGill, Sun worked four years at Bell Sigma, then a year at IBM, then a year at the Bank of Montreal. The entrepreneurial bug had bitten and, along with a fellow Chinese immigrant partner, he formed a software business. But neither Sun nor his partner could grasp the fundamentals of dealing with investors—even those willing to invest $1 million, as did a group from Silicon Valley—so new were they to the capitalist West. It was an expensive lesson for both partners. With $100,000 he managed to salvage, Sun would later launch Advantage China.
Recently the company has faced a new challenge: the slowing Chinese industrial economy. Warehouses there have been packed with unsold goods. Low-end manufacturing has been lost to Vietnam and Bangladesh. Some high-end fabricating has even repatriated to the United States as the wage gap began to narrow and shipping costs rose. Wages in China have soared in heavily industrialized regions. The most striking examples were Sichuan's 2012 minimum wage, which rose by 23 percent, and Shenzhen's announcing a 16 percent increase on the 2012 minimum wage, following a 20 percent hike in 2011. Meantime, an analysis by InterChina Consulting predicts that China will likely lose its cost advantage sometime between 2015 and 2020 to low-wage countries with similar supply chains, such as Mexico and the CzechRepublic.
Despite all the "bad" news, Sun remains sanguine, confident that the negative trends will fall hardest on price-sensitive retailers like Wal-Mart, which he urges his clients to avoid. He believes his niche—small- and medium-sized production runs with quick turnarounds—will keep Advantage China growing.
"I now have a track record," he says, referring to a certain alchemy that has, with the help of his Chinese connections, turned a number of entrepreneurial dreams into reality—including Ray Sun's own. Today he owns a Lexus and a mortgage-free, 4,000-square-foot house in Plano and, earlier this year, he watched his only child graduate from Harvard.

I really enjoy the show and I like your style.
But...I have to say I cringe a bit when the guys hit the range. Kinda chuckled at the flamethrower episode when they were shooting to see who would take it out. The marksmanship was kinda sad.
Maybe you could cross promote w/ somebody like Larry Vickers and have him teach the guys how to shoot. :)
OK, I'm half kidding. But maybe you could spend some time on the range with 'em? Or have the guys at Discovery do some creative editing ;)
By the way my 4 year old loves the fact that you and he share the same name.

Camp gives visually impaired kids an opportunity to surf
Published: Wednesday, July 17, 2013 at 10:16 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 17, 2013 at 10:16 p.m.
If you passed by the beach near Johnnie Mercers Fishing Pier this week, you might have noticed a surf camp for young kids.
Photo Galleries
From the shore at Wrightsville Beach, you could never tell that these kids, smiling and cheering whenever they stood up on their longboards for the first time, are part of Indo Jax Surf School's Visually Impaired Summer Camp.
Kids from all over the state and the country, some even legally blind, attend the camp.
But the siblings of those participating are also allowed to learn how to surf.
Devin Adams, 13, who has no central vision, was competing against her 10-year-old sister, Colleen, to see who could catch the most waves.
This is Devin's second year at the camp, and her father, Steve, drives her and her sister the 10 hours from State College, Pa.
First hearing about the camp from her mother, who read about it in a magazine, Devin was on board from the start, Steve said.
"She's willing to try a lot of things, and she's not going to say no," he said. "She likes being in the ocean and she likes surfing."
Along with surfing, Devin also enjoys jumping horses and skiing.
In addition to learning how to surf, she has gained a friend in her two-year instructor, 20-year-old Jessie Nelson.
Nelson said she and Devin text and talk all year, and were very excited to reunite after a year.
Devin's father said this is a relationship that he is thankful his daughter has been able to foster.
"The instructors genuinely care about kids trying to surf," Steve said. "They are adventurous like her, I guess you could say – the stereotypical surfer person. Jessie's been a very positive influence on (Devin)."
But Kelly Fort, one of the minds behind the camp, said not only do the kids grow in confidence but the parents do as well.
"The first day, they are pacing the beach worried, and then they calm down," she said. "Then it's like, wow, if they can get up on the board out there, they can do anything."
Fort is a contract teacher of the visually impaired who works with many schools throughout the state.
She said when Jack Viorel, owner of Indo Jax Surf School, was discussing his surf school's charity work, she brought up starting a camp for the blind.
Viorel said he remembers the conversation vividly.
"I just said yeah, and thought afterwards, 'I don't know how that's going to happen,'?" he said. "We started working together to put it on, and saw what the possibilities were."
And for first-time campers like Olivia Adams, 8, and 6-year-old brother Evan, who live in Wake Forest, this has been something their mother, Traci, has been planning for a while.
"I've known about the camp for a few years, but I was waiting for Evan to get more used to the ocean," she said. "I think it's very overwhelming, but last year he was finally good with it, so we decided we could finally do this camp."
Traci said she knew she wanted her kids, who are both visually impaired, to be active, so at home they are involved in gymnastics, swimming and tae kwon do.
But surfing is a new endeavor for her kids, and she said they are completely wrapped up in the whole event. "They are just so excited, she said. "They love it, and they can't wait until next year."
The camp runs from July 15-19.

2013 - Buena Vista Bike Fest
Submitted by David on
The Buena Vista Bike Fest century ride offers outstanding views of Colorado's highest mountain peaks while enjoying the sunshine of the Arkansas River Valley. The beautiful route takes you from Buena Vista north to Leadville, along the scenic rolling hills of Turquoise Lake Road, around the Mineral Belt Trail passing aspen groves and conifer forests, meandering through the historic Leadville Mining District, and back to Buena Vista.
Nearly all of the climbing is completed over the first 60 miles of the ride, with the last 40 miles essentially downhill to flat! Riders also have options to take shorter routes including a 40 miler, a 50 miler, and a "metric century" (62 miles) while still enjoying the magnificent scenery of the Collegiate Peaks.
The Buena Vista Bike Fest is sponsored by the Colorado Springs Cycling Club, the Chaffee County Chamber of Commerce and the New Belgium Brewing Company. All routes are well covered with SAG vehicles, and for your safety, the Chaffee County Search and Rescue provides EMT support.

It happens a lot.
Following a hard-fought race for his party's presidential nomination, one candidate steps aside and—in the name of unity—endorses a former rival. But it may have taken a little extra pride swallowing for former Utah Gov. Jon M. Huntsman Jr. to throw his support behind Republican frontrunner Mitt Romney. That's because, unlike the other candidates, clashes between Romney and Huntsman began long before the current presidential contest.
The politicans first squared off in 1999 in the wake of Salt Lake's Olympic scandal. But it wasn't much of a fight.
SLOC Chairman Robert Garff submitted Romney, a recently failed Senate candidate, for consideration. No one else got so much as a hard look. Huntsman Sr. cried foul, telling the Deseret News the process had not been "open, fair and honest," and criticized Romney's selection of organization leaders as "cronyism at its peak."
A decade later, during the battle for the presidential nomination, Huntsman's campaign adviser Doug Foxley took these sentiments further, denigrating Romney's claims that he had saved the Games. "Any well trained chimpanzee could have come in and had a successful Olympics," he said.
Romney got his chance to shoot back when, during a debate, he called Huntsman out for his role as ambassador to China under President Barack Obama."I was serving my country," Huntsman bristled.

McDonald's Shamrock Shake hits Triad restaurants
Published: Tuesday, February 19, 2013 at 12:42 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 19, 2013 at 12:42 p.m.
With every Shamrock Shake purchase at McDonald's, 25 cents will be donated to the Ronald McDonald House Charities of North Carolina and the Ronald McDonald House of Winston-Salem.
On Monday, McDonald's locations across the Triad began offering the green treat. This seasonal classic appears only once a year around the St. Patrick's Day holiday — sometimes only in select locations. This past year, for the first time in history, the Shamrock Shake was available nationwide for a limited time.
The Shamrock Shake was first introduced in 1970 and in 1974, donations from the shake's sales helped establish the first Ronald McDonald House in Philadelphia.

If you are a fan of layering clothing, get your purchase info ready and you can thank me later.
Ladies, meet Skinny Shirt. I'll admit, images of nude shape wear and kitschy slogan tees instantly came to mind, but once I checked out the video, I realized how very far off I was.
Skinny Shirt has taken the bulk out of the "underneath" collared shirt without being a dickey. The bodice is modified to combine a button-front shirt with a stretch camisole. In addition to maternity options, Skinny Shirt also offers sleeveless, long-sleeve and stylish pattern selections. Go ahead, think skinny.

City of Truro
The city of Truro, in South West England, has a population of about 13,000. It was a municipal borough, with city status (the only city in Cornwall), until 1974, when it was merged with neighbouring localities to form the local government (non-metropolitan) district of Carrick, within the county of Cornwall. In April 2009, the district of Carrick and all other local government districts in Cornwall were abolished, and Cornwall became a unitary authority.

How can Miami Dolphins solve this QB issue?
The Miami Dolphins have a HUGE problem on their hands.
Owner Steve Ross, who will speak to the South Florida media on Monday at the NFL's annual owner's meetings, has requested a franchise quarterback, and the front office figures haven't delivered.
General Manager Jeff Ireland and coach Joe Philbin have vowed to the fans that they'd get a better starter than Matt Moore, and the best the Dolphins' decision makers have delivered is David Garrard, a 10-year veteran with a solid resume.
The Dolphins fan base is angry, emotional, feels betrayed, and is on the verge of anarchy.
Ross, who consistently seeks your approval, has taken notice.
The pressure intensifies!
After turning Peyton Manning off (it was more South Florida's style than the team), and not matching the money the Seattle Seahawks were willing to offer Matt Flynn, the Dolphins find themselves backed into a corner regarding this summer's very public quarterback hunt.
All that's left for the Dolphins to do is ride out Garrard or Moore in 2012, or invest a first-round pick into Texas A&M quarterback Ryan Tannehill.
Problem is, there's no guarantee Tannehill will be there when the Dolphins are on the clock with pick No. 8. And some in the NFL scouting community think selecting Tannehill in the top 10 would be reaching. Therefore, making him a top 5 pick could be a potential disaster.
While the former Texas A&M starter is indeed a quarterback worthy of a first-round pick, his 19 starts hints he'll need time to develop.
That would mean Tannehill would possibly ride the bench, watching and learning from Garrard and Moore unless he outshines them in training camp and the exhibition season. To do that he'd need to quickly adjust to the speed of the NFL game, and master an NFL playbook in two months.
Piece of cake, right?
But that's IF the Dolphins get him, which isn't a given considering the Browns has the No. 4 pick, and need a quarterback to push, if not unseat Colt McCoy.
However, the odds Cleveland passes up on Alabama's Trent Richardson and Oklahoma State's Justin Blackmon, two of the draft's elite offensive talents, to take Tannehill aren't good.
That is why it would be ideal for the Dolphins to calm down, and wait their turn.
The problem most VOCAL Dolphins fans have is that it is IMPOSSIBLE for them to calm down, or be satisfied.
I'm estimating that more than 60% of Dolphins fans were so desperate for a quarterback taken in the first round they would have SETTLED for a bad one in Ryan Mallett last year.
MaLLeTT, the fifth best QB in the 2011 draft class, has numerous character and performance flaws. That's why he fell to the third round in last year's NFL draft. But Dolphins fans still wanted him bad.
Most would have thrown 2 L's and 2 T's a parade if Miami had selected him in the first or second round, despite the fact he has horrible footwork, which would have made him a disaster in a west coast offense.
Fast forward a year and because Manning batted his eye at Miami (to use the Dolphins), and because the Dolphins decided they didn't want to overpay for Flynn (who Miami has more information on than any other team) the tone these days is that most Dolphins fans will be disappointed if Tannehill is the pick at No. 8.
Never mind that he's a solid first round pick (trust me, I tried to prove that he's not).
Never mind that Tannehill's athleticism makes him suited for the west coast offense, or that he actually played in it under new offensive coordinator Mike Sherman, who coached him at Texas A&M.
Panic is setting in, and the masses are certain the Dolphins are settling.
Last night I watched an Aaron Rodgers SoundFX and it had me thinking about Tannehill because Rodgers had impressive footwork. It is Tannehill's footwork, which made him a top rated college receiver, that has scouts buzzing about him.
It was his footwork that had me doing an about face when I prematurely declared he wasn't a first-round worthy quarterback before watching five of his 19 college starts.
Tannehill's footwork is the reason he's the third best quarterback in the 2012 draft, and has a better draft grade than Blaine Gabbert and Christian Ponder, who were both taken early in the first-round of last year's draft.
I couldn't help but wonder if Rodgers would be the same player if he didn't spend three years learning and developing under Brett Favre. He eventually had to cut his teeth as an NFL starter. But when Rodgers was put on the field in 2008 he was ready to play.
I can't say the same would happen to Tannehill if he were rushed out there. How did that work out for Ponder and Gabbert, who each struggled as rookies?
That's the problem with first-round quarterbacks. Teams are under too much pressure to play them early, and there's no guarantee they'll develop properly.
It took an offensive-minded coach like Jim Harbaugh to get Alex Smith, the first pick in the 2005 draft, to finally blossom in 2011. Six years later!
How about Vince Young and Matt Leinart, the two quarterbacks taken in the first round of the 2006 draft? Neither shined bright enough when it was their time in the spotlight. Now both are barely hanging on as backups.
JaMarcus Russell and Brady Quinn were the two quarterbacks taken in the first-round of the 2007 draft. Russell is already out the league, and Quinn, whom Dolphins fans nearly had a heart attack over during the Ted Ginn fiasco, is barely employed.
The first-round quarterbacks in 2008 – Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco – are both solid, but far from finished products. Same can be said about Mark Sanchez and Josh Freeman, the two taken in the first-round in 2009.
Anyone want to claim Sam Bradford or Tim Tebow, the 1st round picks in 2010, are franchise QB worthy?
My point: Selecting a quarterback in the first round helps, but it isn't a sure thing. It doesn't mean first round pick + playing time = franchise QB
That's not the formula. You also have to include patience, and a little luck.
The most important thing is being able, and patient enough to develop him properly.
If Tannehill is the right arm for Miami can the Dolphins, and their fan base, have the patience to wait on him….in the draft, and on the field?
