Natural Vitamin C
- Immune enhancing benefits
- Antioxidant
- No GMOs, fillers, sweeteners or additives
- Potent Source of Vitamin C
- General Health Tonic
- Supports Liver and Kidney detoxification and function
There is no better source of natural vitamin C, with its full spectrum of bioflavonoids and supporting nutrients than amla berry. Also known as the Indian Gooseberry, the amla berry has been revered in Ayurvedic medicine since the 7th century for its anti-aging and immune-enhancing benefits and as a general tonic for optimal health. Mother Nature's very best source of vitamin C, amla berries are well documented as much easier to assimilate than synthetic vitamin C, which is known as ascorbic acid. Vitamins from an all-natural whole-food source like amla are also safer and more effective than laboratory-created synthetic or crystalline vitamins, which may be derived from genetically engineered ingredients.
Whole-food Amla C Plus is more potent and thoroughly assimilated than synthetic supplements. As a wonderful antioxidant, alma aids the body's natural defenses against bacteria and viruses, and even supports digestion. A unique blend of 80% amla berry and 20% Spirulina, Pure Planet Amla-C Plus has no GMOs, fillers, sweeteners or additives. No other vitamin C can make the same claim. Find out why our customers rave about Amla-C Plus and its healing powers.
Amla, the Indian Gooseberry has been specifically indicated for use by people with anemia, asthma, bleeding gums, diabetes, colds, chronic lung disease, hyperlipidemia, yeast infections, scurvy and cancer. A sage named Muni Chyawan reputedly restored his vitality using the Indian Gooseberry. It is a very strong rejuvenative which is believed to be the richest natural source of the antioxidant vitamin C. Although only one inch in diameter, the Amla fruit has the same antiscorbutic value as two oranges.

Pretty in Punk (14 photos)

Gritty, 1970's punk rock meets Betsey Johnson. This is where we went for our entry into the Inspired Creations Contest. Inspired Creations is a design challenge hosted by Elizabeth Anne Designs and The Sweetest Occasion for wedding vendors to team up and create an original wedding concept to inspire engaged couples.
Punk rock for us means safety pins, booze, graffiti, and lipstick on mirrors. So, we used safety pins to attach escort cards to a glittery backdrop. We did lipstick pen favors for the girls and Jim Beam with custom labels for the dudes. We spray painted a bathroom mirror gold and used hot pink lipstick to write the table name on it. And we created a graffiti board "guest book" that wedding guests could spray paint, ultimately creating a piece of art that our newlyweds could display in their home.
To up the glam factor, we took a black sequined table linen and added gold chargers, gold-rimmed glassware, and gold flatware to the place setting. We spray painted wooden folding chairs gold. And for a pop of pink, we added hot pink napkins and puffy pink flowers.
And finally, we created a cocktail rimmed with gold edible glitter, and hot pink glowing ice cubes. Check out what our amazing team created below, and you can also see our entry posted on The Sweetest Occasion. Enjoy!!!

can you tell me if this guy's a guru or a subjectivist?
A month or so ago I was searching for a pair of inexpensive headphones, and found Head-fi. After scouring the forums I've found a thread (link at the bottom) there that convinced me the Koss Pro DJ100 fit my needs in term of price and sound. Originally I was going to buy a PA2V2, but after a bit of research, I found this place then NwAvGuy's articles. So, I guess I don't need an amp. Now, I'm very happy with the dj100, but I'm just wondering if it is humanly possible for someone to have such machine-like precision as this guy at head-fi. I'm not knocking him (he's tdockweiler), but just really curious if it's possible to have the kind of precision he's been displaying. He seems to be able to hone in on the sounds, mod his headsets and whatnot then tell people which earpads work better and so on.
Obviously you don't have to read the whole thing just a few of his posts, and you'd know exactly what I'm talking about.

Unless measurements documenting changes are made pre and post modding any changes in sound after modding headphones would have to be considered subjective. The best way for you determine if what is being done is at guru level would be to try some of the non-destructive mods for yourself and see if you agree with their evaluation.
A Glossary For Newbies Why Rockbox? FLAC or MP3? How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
I don't think he documented the changes or he would have posted them but then again, I did not read all 100+ pages. I'm very new to this and, to be honest, I can't even tell the difference between my cats' meow. I do appreciate your FLAC or MP3 link and did the ABX test when I first saw it a week ago. Is why I prefer this place. And thanks for the response.
Do you trust the R&D department of the company you bought the headphones from more than some stranger on the internet?
Playing with sound is fun. It seems to be this guy's hobby. Any change is an accomplishment, for the sheer novelty of something new. Maybe eventually you can consistently change sounds in a predictable way. That's fine. But if your headphones are expensive, they were probably developed under far stricter and rigorous conditions than you can simulate with tape and scissors.
If you think this guy is giving out good advice, it is something like saying the company that produced the headphones is incompetent. If the headphone's are cheap, maybe that's true. But there's only so long silly changes like this can entertain me. I can play with equalizers for a bit, but I always end up turning them off, because the novelty can only last so long, the mind balances the sounds automatically till it doesn't sound like anything. Take off the pads and maybe you've increased the treble, but what defects and vibrations have you introduced by doing so? Same with cutting holes or adding tape over holes already there. They had a purpose maybe you didn't understand, which maybe isn't worth the novelty of a slightly altered pitch.
In many cases I've made alterations to headphones that have made the sound more pleasing to my ears. I've usually physical made alterations with an eye towards comfort not changing the sound. Most of the time when I've modded for comfort the sound has changed. Sometimes and I've like the change, other times I haven't. That's why I recommended non-destructive changes.
There's no way for the R&D department of a headphone company to know that my ears stick out more than most. I've added padding under the existing pads as spacers so my ears don't touch the fabric screen. That's changed the distance between my ears and the drivers and changed the overall sound. I've also changed from leatherette to velour pads to reduce the amount of heat and sweat around my ears. That's usually changed the sound. Some times a little, some times a lot. If I liked the change or not is usually how I decide on if the mod stays or goes.
If I can't find a way to mod for comfort and keep a sound I like the headphones have to go. The best sounding headphones in the world won't do me any good if hurts to have them on. Comfort is that important in my opinion.
The same for equalizing my headphones. I don't feel that the R&D department is the be all, end all as to what sounds good to me. I disregard EQ presets and work towards balancing the frequency response to equal loudness to my ears. Doing that I've found there's some headphones that sound significantly better to me than if I don't equalize them. In fact most of them. Some take a lot more work than others but unless they're poorly made or extremely unbalanced I've found the time I've spent getting them equalized to my taste to be worth the effort.

Frankly that guy is a retard, I know exactly who that is.
USB cables make night/day differences according to him.
Obvious placebo effect plain and simple.

Again, I wasn't knocking him nor was I doubting koss r&d dept. I was genuinely curious if it's humanly possible to hear that big of differences. I can understand replacing the earpads and, bam, there's definitely more bass. I was talking about all the forwars mids, sound stage and the little things he was able to distinguish when using different pads and amps.
I thought he had written an excellent review hence why I bought the koss dj, but aside from comfort, I honestly can't tell the difference in sound when swapping from stock pads to the M-50 pads I bought per his advice. This could very well be because of my untrained ears but from the way he had described it, the M50 pads offer huge benefits which I obviously couldn't and still can't hear. When I read huge I immediately think the differences will jump at you but perhaps they're more subtle.
***just saw satellite_6's comment***
It's a fair point and one that I considered when writing my post. Of course R&D is attempting to please a lot of different ears, and is not just geared to pleasing yours. I'm more convinced by your discussion about comfort, though. I am a Sennheiser user and I think they make some of the most comfortable headphones in the world. Sometimes that is most important to keeping focus on the music than on your skin becoming raw. With equalizers I'm unconvinced. Of course it always sounds like a downgrade going from a good equalizer setting to normal, but I think it has way more to do with volume (louder always tricks us into thinking it sounds better, hence dedicated amps for headphones). I'm usually able to change my perception of the quality of the sound just by increasing the volume again after turning it back to normal, and then of course I turn it back down because I don't want to damage my hearing. I am attracted to treble and it's always tempting to alter that setting with EQ, but what I notice is that after a half hour or something of listening to it with the setting, it doesn't seem loud enough again. There's some interesting studies about how the mind desensitizes itself to volume, how people increase volume a little every few minutes till it is at a dangerous level. Things like that make me wary and prefer to stick to low volume.
I prefer comfort over sound as well, and I completely agree with your point concerning volume. After I read your post I think the bulb above me started flashing in agreement. I'm one of those people who think a song sounds better when in reality it's just higher volume. One of these days I hope to buy Senn HD650 just to see what's all the fuss is about.
If I were equalizing to a sound effect I might share your concern. I'm leveling the volume differences between the frequencies so that each frequency being presented at an equal volume becomes normal for me. There's no boredom effect that causes me to want to raise the volume to recapture my interest or make it sound better.
Increasing the overall volume can't raise or lower particular frequencies to fit my personal loudness curve so the louder sounds better illusion only works for me for a short period of time. Properly equalized headphones never get boring so I don't feel any raise the volume. Once I set them to an appropriate volume I have no need to boost them again. The parts of the music some feel is missing is properly presented for me so that I'm not tempted to boost the overall volume looking for more bass, treble or mids.
A Glossary For Newbies Why Rockbox? FLAC or MP3? How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
Ah, I guess I misunderstood you then. That makes sense. If your hearing isn't strong at certain frequencies, it's reasonable to boost those frequencies. That definitely takes some effort and maybe a trip to a hearing clinic to determine, especially if your hearing has deteriorated in an unusual way (instead of just the highest frequencies first).
In ten years or so I might be in the same boat.

Academic Success Program Opportunities
Resources for 1L Students: Throughout the academic year, the ASP co-Directors will lead skills workshops on key topics such as exam-writing, synthesizing course material, outlining, taking notes in class, reading for law school, study strategies, and time management. These workshops are open to all interested first year students.
The Academic Success Program also coordinates a teaching assistant program offered in conjunction with several first year courses. The ASP staff trains and supports a team of highly qualified upper-level students who provide additional reinforcement of class material through practical exercises during regularly offered TA labs. These labs are subject and professor specific and are open to all interested first year students.
ASP offers a Critical Skills Program during the spring semester for students who wish to take advantage of more intensive academic skills instruction. CSP is a weekly study group led by one of ASP's Co-Directors, focusing on a variety of academic skills taught within the context of the material being covered in a spring semester doctrinal course. In CSP, students revisit study and test-taking skills, complete practice questions, and discuss analysis and sample answers.
The ASP staff is also always available for individual consultation with 1L students desiring extra attention. Whether a student's issue is academic or emotional (or a combination of both), the ASP staff are well-equipped to counsel and guide students through the, oftentimes, tumultuous first year of law school.
Resources for Upper Class Students: Academic support does not end with completion of a student's first year. ASP staff provides individual consultation and/or support to students whose academic performance raises concerns about their mastery of first-year material or their adoption of strategies for succeeding in their future courses.
ASP also provides support to upper level students as they contemplate and prepare for the bar exam. The law school offers several one-credit bar skills courses to third year students seeking a head start at practicing the types of multiple choice and essay questions that will be covered on the bar exam. ASP also provides students access to the National Conference of Bar Examiners' practice question bank and offers a workshop on the Multi-state Performance Test (MPT). In addition, ASP staff is always available for individual consultation with upper level students who have questions about the bar application process, commercial bar-prep programs, or bar study skills.
Resources Available to Graduates and Alumni
Finally, Michigan State University College of Law is invested in its students Bar examination success and offers programs and individual counseling to guide and support graduates as they prepare for the Bar examination.

Where did all the propaganda go?
Where did all the propaganda go?
Up your ass?
"I can't explain just how it feels,
the thoughts of my premature burial.
Inside this oblong box I lie,
with the hope I'll be buried alive."
South by north-east.
24 hour cable news channels?
I live. I love. I kill. I catch Pokemons. I am content.
Every other government ever?
Marxist communism isn't.
You're only experience of communism is that of the Soviet Union. You know not what glory true communism holds...
But seriously guys, nobody seems to be calling communism bad in politics these days.
Because everyone is too busy going "OMGAWD BLACK PRESIDENT! THE COLOR OF HIS SKIN BEING SIMILAR TO OURS MUST MEAN THAT HE IS JESUS!"
Seriously, when was the last time we had effigies of a president on a candle...
Hey, don't knock it. This is a big day for a racist country.
But this red commie stuff has been gone for years, not just when Obama ran for president.
It may have had something to do with the collapse of the Soviet Union. Maybe.
If the greatest beacon of Communist 'superiority' has fallen apart, there's no real point in trying to advertise it. Everyone would say "But look what happened to the USSR..."
I have noticed that Palin had been labeling Obama as a Socialist in the race, though.
im glad you were perceptive enough to notice that solly
"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.
I am a very observant person.
there is plenty of propaganda out there, watch the news. the media considers hugo chavez a villain
"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.
But it's not government sponsored, is it?
Communism is GOOD! I wish the world would become 100% Communist, and so it would make it easier for me to conquer the world.
Thanks CB.

Hey there ,
just want to know how the experience was to deal with HSS? I`ve ordered a mask (H2 bloody) 2 weeks ago and gettin a little nervous now. Before i ordered the mask , i was writing with sam and he responded every question quickly. i talked with him about the changes i would like to have and everything was ok. Scince i`ve ordered the mask , i just don`t get any response from him , just that he got my money. I know HSS has a great reputation here , that`s why i decided to order the mask from him. But after 2 weeks of no response i`m gettin a little nervous. Maybe he`s busy right now ( the fact is , that i`ve ordered it during the halloween time. Maybe not the best decision) or maybe i just overreact , i don`t know.It`s my first time that i`ve ordered an independent mask and it wasn`t that cheap , so maybe you can understand my reaction. I just would like to know , how`s my mask going and whether he get the changes. Maybe somebody`s here in the same situation like me right now? Don`t want to stress Sam from HSS , I`m just a little anxious.....hope you can understand that.

- Born in Warsaw, Poland. Married to a great philosopher (in aesthetics) for over 20 years; recently divorced.
Interesting Facts:
- My mother was a well known radio journalist interviewing personalities in science and art, which gave me access to some of the top minds in Poland. I published a book of poems as an undergraduate student which received the prize for the best debutee book of the year.
Learning philosophy:
- Most of my classes are online. I am very open to various learning styles, also in the classroom. I want students to learn clarity of thinking and expression (written and oral if the class is on campus). I also enjoy discussing all the aspects of philosophy, ethics, philosophy and technology, religion and so on. I appreciate my students and am open to working with them on various research projects. Almost every year my students, not just Philosophy majors, publish articles in peer reviewed journals written under my guidance, such as Rhonda Urban in E-Mentor on online learning and Blake Dournaee in Minds and Machines on my work in Machine Consciousness.
Research interests:
- Machine Consciousness; Normative Moral Psychology; Political Philosophy
Major project underway:
- Defending non-reductive machine consciousness (in a number of recent and upcoming articles)
- Working on K. Dabrowski's theory of positive disintegration
- Writing a book arguing that within political theory, conservatism should be viewed as right wing communitarianism
Listen to Professor Boltuc on why you should study Philosophy:
Advice to prospective students:
- Take general education early on, when it should be taken and do not procrastinate until the last semester.
Best thing about UIS:
- Online learning that treats you as a regular student. Also blended and technology enhancement learning that opens the whole spectrum of opportunities between online and traditional on campus courses.

The Red Hot organization has been a long time pioneer in "fighting AIDs through popular culture" as they put it. They've brought together artists from far and wide underneath the same banner and it's overwhelmingly beautiful every time.
1994′s Red Hot + Cool, which explored the intersection between classic jazz and contemporary hip-hop, was no exception as it earned Time Magazine's Album of the Year honor. Take a trip back with us and watch Stolen Moments: Red Hot + Cool, their documentary film which brought light to the impact of AIDS on communities of color. The doc also includes a cameo of Guru and Donald Byrd performing at a Giant Step produced event in collaboration with Red Hot at Supper Club – what a night! It originally aired on PBS along with the album release.

ZF-12510: Swaped values when using Zend_Date::get() with Zend_Date::YEAR or Zend_Date::YEAR_SHORT
When trying to retrieve the year part of a Zend_Date, the constants Zend_Date::YEAR and Zend_Date::YEAR_SHORT return each others value.
Code sample:
$today = new Zend_Date(); // assume it is 2013-01-18 11:00:00 $year = $today->get(Zend_Date::YEAR); // $year should be "2013", it is "13" $shortYear = $today->get(Zend_Date::YEAR_SHORT); // $yearShort should be "13", it is "2013"
Hi Mário, I can not reproduce your problem. All unit tests are okay.
Here is a test for your example:
public function testDateShouldMatchLongAndShortYear()
$date = new Zend_Date('31.12.2007');
$this->assertEquals('2007', $date->get(Zend_Date::YEAR));
$this->assertEquals('07', $date->get(Zend_Date::YEAR_SHORT));
Result: OK
You are right, there was a piece of information missing that I overlooked.
This behaviour only occurs when you set the 'format' option of Zend_Date to 'php'. I was setting it in the bootstrap and overlooked it in the test code I supplied.
I created an empty project just to test this and found the following: if I use Zend_Date::setOptions(array('format_type' => 'php')), then I get the results I said above. If I do not set that Zend_Date option, then the calls to get work as expected.
// no call to Zend_Date::setOptions();
$today = new Zend_Date();
$year = $today->get(Zend_Date::YEAR); // returns full 4 digit year
$shortYear = $today->get(Zend_Date::YEAR_SHORT); // returns 2 digit year
Zend_Date::setOptions(array('format_type' => 'php'));
$today = new Zend_Date();
$year = $today->get(Zend_Date::YEAR); // returns 2 digit year
$shortYear = $today->get(Zend_Date::YEAR_SHORT); // returns full 4 digit year
Is this an expected behaviour? I've been browsing the documentation and it does not say anything about Zend_Date::get() behaviour changing with or without this option.

Hey guys,
Recently my 13hh exmoor mare is in a really bad mood. She no longer whinnies to me in the field, she is being really grumpy to our other mare (She is usually really sweet) and she is biting when i put her rug on, or simply go into her stable to say good night or give her a hug. This has been going on for about a week.
I am not sure wether she is just in season, or if she is feeling ill, or just in a bad mood?! I am scared to use mare-ish behaviour supplements in her feed, as this is incredibly un-usual for her to act like this, and as i am at school at the moment, she is only being ridden 4-5 times a week.
I did wonder wether her diet is causing problems - we have cut down her hay from 3 sections to 2 sections, and she is having half a scoop of feed less.
Any tips/help/ideas please?
Please guys?

Will she let you go near her belly? I had a mare who had colic in the past and years after she still didnt like her stomach being touched - She would lift her back legs up and turned and bite mid air if i groomed, put a rug on or did her girth up. I know you say this has only been going on for the past week or so but the behaviour seems similar. Have you checked her over for anything showing shes been injured in the feild?
Do you say night and love you to your horse when leaving? I do?
She shows no sign of being injured. I will try touching her belly when i feed her in the morning (We are not lucky enough to have a stables at our house) and see what happens. Thank you for this advice, it may well be something to do with that, as we are currently loaning her from the ILPH, and she was brought in at 6months old after being mistrated, and was taken away from her mother at just a few months old. She has several scars around her head.
Any more ideas?

Hi, I was just wondering how long you have had her on loan for ? It could be that she is in season as they all react differently, also if she has been treated badly in the past it may take some time for her to settle. If you have ruled out illness or injury then i would be inclined to stick to a routine with her, keep her environment as calm as possible and be consistent with everything that you do. I know that this might sound daft but changes in the weather can make some horses grumpy especially as we've had alot of wind and rain. Does she have a field shelter to protect her from the worst of the weather ?

It could be that you've cut her feed down, she probably thinks you're trying to starve her, lol, but I'd think it was more likely she's in season, as some mares can get very grumpy.
If the ILPH had her during last spring and summer, I should perhaps ask them what she was like then. Mares seasons start about this time and carry on to the Autumn, and a lot of mares do need something to calm them down a bit.
Is she kept with any other horses? If so and there are geldings there, then that has probably set her off.
As Lyn says, just be very consistent with her, and I hope she gets back to normal soon.

Thanks for all the help so far. I have had her on loan for 3 months. Yes, there has been a lot of weather changes recently! No, she does not have a 'field shelter', but there are lots of low trees, providing shade/shelter. That is probably part of it... Im also starting to wonder wether she is just struggling to get used to being worked? When we got her she was extremely unfit, and i am putting a lot on hold to get down after school to school/hack her. She might just be struggling to get used to this?
She is kept with our other mare, there is one 12.2hh gelding kept in a couple of fields along... And there are two other mares in between.
Thanks for all your help guys! Feel free to post more ideas :-)
Hi again, you mentioned about her struggling with the work, maybe with all of the other changes and trying to settle into a new home it might be proving a bit much for her. I realise that it's better for her health to be fit so plenty of walking to start with would be easier for her. 3 months is still early days for her to adapt to a new environment, she just needs security and reassurance, it sounds as though she's had a tough life in the past so she is probably fearfull and wondering what is going to happen to her. I'm sure that she will settle, you sound very responsible and caring so just spend time getting to know her, take your time and help her to relax. Does she enjoy being groomed ? Our mare loves her face and forelock being brushed, she nearly falls asleep lol ! experiment with different brushes etc and find out where she likes to be brushed. Good luck with her, she really deserves a good home with you and your family X
Thankyou! Yes, she ADORES being groomed. she absaloutely loves it! Thankyou, i will be visiting my tack store to stock up on some better quality brushes.... :) Thanks for the advice!

300 bikes donated to Denver students and these are just the pink ones!
Interesting article today in the Denver post how a few Denver students in elementary and middle schools received 300 bikes from the Asfaw Family foundation. This is going to cause confusion at the school's bike racks!
From the Denver Post
The Asfaw Family Foundation International provided 10 Aim High college scholarships to African-American males and 300 bicycles to elementary- and middle- school children in Denver as a part of its Arches of Hope program, designed to reward good citizenship and achievement and recognize hardship.

While every state continues to experience the impacts of the economic downturn and resulting recession, it will be many years before we understand the full nature and causes of the financial crisis. But it appears that one of the contributing factors to both the crisis and the anemic nature of the recovery has been the weakened position of the U.S. economy in global markets. This relatively untold story of the recession and recovery is, in fact, perhaps one of the major developments in the U.S. economy, one that will have significant impacts on state economies for decades into the future—particularly if the nation continues to ignore the issue.

COP17: US will build on Cancun, but hampered by domestic constraints
- Date
- 22 November 2011
Evan Juska, The Climate Group's Head of US Policy, takes a look at the US negotiating position heading into COP17 in Durban next week. This is the first in a series of articles from our international policy staff looking at the position of key countries in the UN climate talks.
The US views Durban as an opportunity to build on the agreements reached in Cancun. From the US perspective, Cancun represented a "paradigm shift" away from the top-down approach of the Kyoto Protocol (i.e. mandatory targets and timetables for developed countries) towards the bottom-up approach of the Cancun Agreements (i.e. "pledge and review" process for all countries).
Tangible progress towards building the institutions needed to implement the Cancun Agreements - like a system for transparency, mechanisms for technology deployment, adaptation and deforestation, and new climate finance bodies – would be a successful outcome for the US.
The concern for the US in Durban is that continued disagreement about the future of the Kyoto Protocol could thwart further progress on the Cancun Agreements.
BASIC countries (Brazil, South Africa, India, China) have stated that agreement to extend the Kyoto Protocol for a second commitment period is the "essential priority" for success.
However, many developed countries, including the US, Japan, Russia and Canada have indicated that they will not participate in a second commitment period. In Cancun, countries showed a willingness to look beyond their disagreements on Kyoto to work towards consensus on the above issues. But with the Kyoto Protocol set to expire at the end of 2012, pressure to determine its fate will be heightened in Durban.
The US's ability to effectively negotiate its position in Durban may also be somewhat undermined by its lack of domestic action on climate change. In Copenhagen, the US committed to reduce its emissions by 17% below 2005 levels by 2020 - but does not have a comprehensive policy in place to meet this goal.
The US also committed to contribute to a $100 billion per year Green Climate Fund - but without the revenues generated from a cap and trade program, it is unclear how the US will contribute to climate finance, especially amidst the budget-cutting mood that currently prevails in Washington.
In the "pledge and review" approach to international cooperation that the US is advocating, a country's ability to influence others depends largely on how well they are fulfilling their own commitments.

Core, Reentry Capsule, Datasphere
This Datasphere was the first instrumented package to be recovered from space by the United States. Launched by a U.S. Air Force Thor ballistic missile on 13 June 1958 from Cape Canaveral, Florida, it recorded information such as temperatures, pressures, and stresses critical to progress in the nation's spaceflight programs. The Datasphere reached an altitude of over 200 miles, reentered the atmosphere at more than 10,000 miles an hour, and was recovered intact in the South Atlantic. General Electric made the Datasphere and the Air Force donated it to NASM in 1959.

All branches of Marin County Free Library will be closed on Monday, July 4 for Independence Day.
We sat down with seventeen year old actor, producer, researcher, and documentarian Kayla Thompson to get a backstage look at the making of her latest short film, a profile on the Marin City Library.
Marin County Free Library: So, Kayla, how long did it take you to
make this film?
Kayla Thompson: FOREVVERRRR! Yeah, way too long.
MCFL: What were the best and worst aspects of the process?
KT: The worst thing was probably making it. (Laughs) And the best--filming it. I liked filming it. And hearing the stories.
MCFL: Any advice for the aspiring documentarian?
KT: DON'T use PowerDirector. If you have the money, use a Mac. Get Adobe, we're actually trying to get Adobe Premiere. But try to use a more advanced video editing software. My low point was actually using PowerDirector. I was editing all day, and it just disappeared! It froze and I lost it all. But then it came back.

MCFL: Did anything surprise you in the research process?
KT: This library is young. It started in like 1997 [KT was born in 1994]. I didn't know that. And there are a lot of people who come here [Find out how many here]. It doesn't seem like it, when you work here all day. But there are a lot of people who come to the library.
MCFL: Anything else you want to share with your audience?
KT: Come to the library!

Nothing is cozier than a thick, knitted sweater-except, perhaps for a knitting group or community.
After 25 years of managing a shopping center, Cynthia Mills heard that call. "I missed having a nurturing community and embarked on this desire to have business and community in one," she says.
Mills opened Blazing Needles in 2008, creating a gathering place for knitters and fiber artists that offers fine yarns and needles along with classes and social knitting events.
"People want to feel connected," Mills says of her business's nurturing environment. "We make every effort to ensure that the experience at Blazing Needles is inclusive. Everyone is welcome."
The shopping experience at Blazing Needles is not just customer-friendly, but also customer-driven.
"Our customers feel they have a stake in our success," Mills says. "They have become invested in building this community, even offering ideas for new classes and service projects."
Blazing Needles gives back to their community, too. "We host many social knitting hours as well as fundraising events important to our customers." Mills says.
"We want to give people a reason to keep coming back and being engaged and learning something new."
To that effect, Blazing Needles recently began offering 1-hour $10 classes called To the Point Tuesdays. "People can drop by and learn a new skill," Mills says. Mills also plans to continue bringing in out-of-town designers to teach knitting techniques, and to offer products not ordinarily found in Utah.
"We focus on providing a unique experience, and our unique knitters are the key to Blazing Needles' success."

MSRP: Varies; see website www.manicsalamander.com
Scott "Bones" Williams: I've tried several mechanical throttle locks looking for one that does three specific things: deploys simply, holds the throttle in place without slipping and disengages simply. The Smooth City throttle lock from Manic Salamander did all three.
I tested the Classic Blackout version on my friend Bob's Aprilia Tuono. The kit included bike-specific steel-mounting hardware and a matching bar-end weight for the left side. The components were very nicely machined, and the wrinkled matte finish looked top-shelf.
Installation took about 10 minutes. (Even the mechanically challenged should be done in 20.) We removed Allen screws on the stock bar ends and removed the stock mounts, and then swapped in Manic Salamander parts. The throttle lock side required some adjusting with supplied shims.
The directions did not indicate any set dimensions, such as shimming so many thousandths, so we simply tried one shim and then another until it felt right. It's worth noting that what seemed like the right setting in the garage wasn't quite right on the road, so you'll want to take a local road test to confirm that your adjustment is satisfactory.
Once the Smooth City throttle lock was installed and adjusted, there were two options: on and off. Simple is good.
To engage the throttle lock, I simply slid my hand out toward the bar end, held the throttle in position with my first finger, then used my last two fingers to rotate the throttle lock section toward me (counter clockwise). Spring tension locked it in place.
To release, I just rolled off the throttle. It was intuitive, and I got the hang of it quickly, although I tried it over and over, extending my ride on Bob's Aprilia (in the interest of science, of course!).
One quality Bob really liked about the Smooth City throttle lock was that it didn't look like anything had been added onto the bike.
"There are no levers or thumb wheels or friction rings, nothing that gives you an impression of an afterthought," he observed. "It just looks like a nice set of bar weights, and when the need arises, it's there."

Dallas Mavericks fans and players should feel right at home in Cleveland these days. The Ohio governor John Kasich issued a resolution making the Mavericks honorary "Ohioans" for beating the Miami Heat — namely LeBron James – in the NBA Finals. There was a Cavs for Mavs campaign during the finals series and now (drum roll please)…..there is a sandwich in honor of NBA Finals MVP Dirk Nowitzki.
The Dallas Morning News reported that a Ohio deli, Corky and Dennys, changed the name of its King Corned Beef sandwich to the Dirk Nowitzki for the month of June.
I get that Cleveland fans hate LeBron James with the fire of a thousand suns. I also get that LeBron James himself ignited that wildfire, but is it time for Cavs fans to put this bitter relationship to rest?

Recount continues on school tax referendum
Published: Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 9:37 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 9:37 p.m.
The Volusia County Canvassing Board met Tuesday for the second day of recounting ballots in the Volusia County school tax referendum.
The measure was narrowly rejected in last week's general election by a margin of 909 votes out of nearly 207,000 votes cast. Under state law, a recount is automatic if the margin falls under half a percent.
Volusia County Supervisor of Elections Ann McFall said the recount, which started Monday, went from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday and would continue into Wednesday night.
McFall said the difference between "yes" and "no" votes remains almost unchanged.
She calculated the overtime for elections workers has so far cost about $35,000.
Under state law, a losing candidate may call off a recount. There is no such provision for calling off a referendum, McFall said.
"Nobody seems to want to stop this, so I guess we'll keep counting," McFall said.

How many of you that plan to shelter in place have a plan in the event a fire breaks out. Not just how to get out, but a plan to attempt to fight a small fire before it consumes all of your preps, including food and ammunition.
Being a firefighter I can honestly say that I have pondered it. If society did collapse and all municipal services went away, surely fire protection would disappear too. So what to do> initially fire etinguisher would work, but what happens when you used them? Unless you are using pressurized water extinguishers and you have a compressor, once used the rest would be little more than paper weights. Me? I have some extinguishers, but I guess my fire buffing took me to the extreme I own a fire engine too. Pre-EMP worry days too!
So share your thoughts on this, please.

Maroon and Gold Illustrated takes a look at the life of Bruce Snyder (May, 2009)
Compiled a 58-45 record (.563) in nine seasons (1992-2000) at ASU.
Snyder's 58 wins trailed only Frank Kush's 176 wins in ASU annals.
Directed ASU to its fourth undefeated regular season (11-0) in history in 1996 and led the Sun Devils to their second Pac-10 title and Rose Bowl appearance ... The 1996 campaign produced one of biggest upsets in college football history when the Sun Devils shutout the top-ranked and two-time defending national champion Nebraska Cornhuskers 19-0 in Sun Devil Stadium ... ASU finished the 1996 season ranked No. 4 in both of the major polls after the Sun Devils lost to Ohio State in the Rose Bowl (20-17) on a last-minute Buckeye touchdown ... Snyder was named the 1996 consensus National Coach-of-the-Year, winning 13 major coach-of-the-year awards, including the Paul 'Bear' Bryant Award.
In 1997 Snyder led ASU to a 9-3 record and a 17-7 victory over Iowa in the Sun Bowl.
Guided ASU to victories over Washington, USC, UCLA and Arizona in 1996 and 1999, the only two years in ASU history the Sun Devils have accomplished that feat.
More than 40 players who Snyder coached at ASU were drafted into the NFL, including seven first-round draft choices. In addition, more than 40 other players who played for Snyder at ASU signed rookie free agent contracts.
Under Snyder, 18 different players earned All-America honors, including offensive tackle Juan Roque, who was a consensus All-American in 1996.
In 1996, Snyder's mentoring helped QB Jake Plummer to a season which enabled him to be a Heisman Trophy finalist.
While at ASU, Snyder's players produced more than 100 All-Pac-10 citations, including one Offensive Player of the Year (Jake Plummer in 1996), two Defensive Players of the Year (Pat Tillman in 1997 and Adam Archuleta in 2000) and one Freshman of the Year (Terrell Suggs in 2000).
Prior to arriving at ASU Snyder was the head coach at Cal where he guided the Golden Bears to a 29-24-4 record over a five-year stretch.
Was named the 1990 Pac-10 Coach of the Year after leading Cal to a 7-4-1 record and only its second bowl game since 1958 season.
In his final year at Cal, Snyder directed the Golden Bears to a 10-2 record, No. 8 national ranking and a win over ACC Champion Clemson in the Citrus Bowl.
First head coaching job was at Utah State where he led the Aggies to a 39-37-1 record and a pair of conference championships during his seven-year stint as coach (1976-1982).
Member of the Pat Tillman Foundation Board of Directors.
Career coaching record: 126-106-5 in 20 seasons (.542).

Rated 3.3 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ms.Shopsalot Finally! We used this bench outside on our patio It looks amazing and do different . The only thing was that it took us about 4 tries to find a bench that was in one piece It was broken every time we brought it home. But when finally put together it's so pretty. It's effortlessly beautiful and comfortable although they do need to make a cushion cover with the cushion Since its a very hard size to find in other stores . March 15, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Owner of kdprocess Love love this bench ! Love love this bench,and all the amazing pillows to choose from! Thank you to NIKKI in the Tallahassee fla. Store your the best!!!!! Can't wait to pick up the office set you help us pick because of you we will be making a lot more purchase in the future. You rock :) love world market select and quality!!!! November 5, 2011
Rated 2 out of 5 by Patti, the furniture critic Quality questionable I have had my eye on this bench for about two months; it would fit great in my family room; when I finally purchased it and got it home; noticed that the carton had already been opened (there was even a label from a sparkletts water container in the carton) and then noticed that one of the arms was scratched and finish is worn off in that area; I was quite disappointed in the quality and that the store could have been more forthcoming about this product-they could have told me that the carton had already been opened. I am going to try to put it together and if it is structually sound, then I am going to request a discount for the damage to the arm. March 30, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by joshtheboss Broken on arrival My hsuband and I received our bench today, went to put it together and the arm of the bench is completely snapped. So dissappointed. Also the color on the website appears much darker. The actual color is called antique grey washed. It's a pretty color but buyers beware that's not how it appears in the photo. Well, I guess the next step is to see how efficiently WM handles bulk items returns/exchanges. Too bad. I'll be more than happy to change my review depending on how WM handles this situation.

Equipment 101: Data capture basics
Voice technology is often applied to labor-intensive activities, like piece picking, putaway, replenishment and cycle counting.
October 01, 2011 - MMH Editorial
Bar code scanning is the most common way to collect data at every link in the supply chain. There are two major components and considerations in any bar code solution:
choosing the right type of bar code or bar code label for the right type of application, and
- choosing the best scanning device for the application.
Bar codes
Bar codes are everywhere and on everything. In fact, according to Marty Johnson, product marketing manager for Zebra Technologies, if something doesn't have a bar code, it may not exist in an automated system. That may be a bit of an exaggeration, as RFID and other technologies gather steam. But, bar codes are certainly pervasive. And, he adds, the ramifications of not having some method of identification are huge and costly.
Bar codes can have different appearances and can have different levels of data storage capabilities. In today's industrial settings, there are at least three types of labels.
1. 1D, or linear, bar codes are the most familiar arrangement of black and white lines and spaces used to create the Universal Product Code (UPC). This is the bar code that people think of first, says Johnson. It's the linear style style—a classic UPC with stripes of varying degrees of width.
2. 2D bar codes come in a variety of forms, but consistent across the board is that all information is encoded vertically and horizontally. "A 2D bar code has a different look to it," explains Johnson. "It's basically two dimensional and looks like a series of blocks and triangle and squares in varying patterns."
The 2D type can be used when there's a need to store more information than the 1D UPC style can handle. A 2D bar code can hold a different level of detail, and according to Johnson "is more in tune with mobile applications." Rather using a traditional scanner to collect data, a smart phone can take a physical image of it and capture the information that way.
3. Direct part marking is used to apply a unique identifier directly to a part that can be used in the future for tracking and tracing. The importance of direct part marking for tracking and tracing comes into play in an open-loop supply chain in many ways, including safety as it relates to a food or pharmaceutical product recall or in the case of a part being part of a larger finished product, like an airplane or a car. In the retail apparel setting, direct part marking is being applied to clothing labels. Suppliers are tagging individual items, which enables better inventory control and helps avoid stock out situations for retailers at the consumer level.
Techniques used to apply the identifying data include ink spraying or etching directly into a part.
For example, polyester can resist damage caused by contact or exposure to chemicals and can be stored outdoors for about two years; polyimide can tolerate temperatures up to 500 degrees; polypropylene can also tolerate high temperatures and be stored outdoors for between one and two years.
The cost of a label depends on its size, material and volume needed.
After choosing the right type of bar code, the next step is to choose the right type of scanner for capturing the data stored on the bar code.
Laser scanners, which read 1D bar codes, are the most common type. These devices read bar codes in conjunction with an oscillating mirror that automatically moves the beam back and forth across the bar code.
Imaging technology can also read 2D bar codes and direct part markings. These systems capture the image of the bar code all at once, much like a digital camera. The imaging technology automatically frames the information on the bar code and pulls it in. The data capture is extremely fast, with imaging technology response time measured in sub-seconds. "This technology can push information out to the workforce and gather it back in real time," says Intermec's Stubbs.
One benefit of imaging technology, Stubbs explains, is that because a camera can capture the image of any product or process and upload it in real time, it can "see" problems like the condition of a load, for example.
Regardless of the scanning technology, bar code scanning equipment options include handheld and fixed devices.
Fixed scanning devices, which are 100% automated and scan without human intervention, are commonly used as part of a conveyor system. These scanners read the bar codes on cartons as they are inducted into the conveyor or sortation system or before they are stored in an automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS).
Fixed scanners can also be mounted at choke points in a facility, including dock doors. "Fixed scanners mounted at portals track everything that goes through a critical point," explains Chris Warner, senior product marketing manager for Motorola Solutions.
In some operations, on-demand handheld readers are used to go out and do manual tracking, Warner says. Today's handheld readers are lighter than their predecessors and include a litany of ergonomic improvements including hands-free features.
In some styles, handheld technology literally puts the information at an operator's fingertips. Wearable devices like ring scanners, for example, enable true hands-free activity and leave a worker's hands free to perform a task. Today's wearable devices have increased processing power and more memory so in addition to reading bar codes, some can actually display full color images on the screen. This feature visually can ensure accuracy during the picking process or even while building a pallet.
There are two types of handheld readers—one industrial type and a smaller, lighter type that's more appropriate in a commercial setting for sales force applications. "You wouldn't want to put a heavy device on the sales floor for an associate who had to use it for a long time," Warner says.
In all cases, once the bar code is scanned or the image is captured, software is then used to decode the data.

Fantastic Bag, Amazing Customer Service
I bought this bag about 4 years ago and it has been a fantastic bag. Due to daily use, the strap started to get some pretty good wear on the shoulder pad. I emailed the very friendly Bosca customer service about a repair and they told me to send it in. Soon after, I received a brand new matching strap for FREE. It was certainly a pleasant surprise and I'll be a life-long customer. I own 2 of their bags and a wallet... all fantastic.

Panama City Beach -- Council members approved the bid specification for the design and construction contract for Aaron Bessant Park. That bid will now be advertised to companies interested in doing the project. Vice Mayor, Ken Nelson and Council-woman, Josie Strange who have consistently voted against the park renovation project, voted against the bid advertisement.
The other hot item involved operational policies for Aaron Bessant Park. The council addressed traffic enforcement, the number of tickets that can be sold for events, and blackout dates for park usage. Those would include Spring Break, and the majority of the summer tourism season from June until mid-August.
"The operational policies are something I feel good about, that we're moving to put that in place. It's something that we should have done earlier because at this point we do not have the kind of policies in place to control the activity there, and now we will so whether we go forward or we don't, we still need those policies in place" said Gayle Oberst, Mayor of Panama City Beach.
Council members postponed some of the items until their next meeting in January, including noise enforcement. They are waiting on a report from an acoustical engineer. They also tabled the redrawing of the city's four wards.

Gardening Articles: Edibles :: Vegetables
Collards and Kale (page 3 of 4)
by Deborah Wechsler
Into the Kitchen
Collards and kale offer many pickings of fresh greens at a time of year when there's littl else to harvest. Folks often say collards are sweeter after the first frost, but an actual 32oF frost isn't crucial. Cool weather is enough. Doug Sanders has an explanation: "Cool weather changes starches in the leaves to sugars, and also changes the structure of protein flavor compounds."
The southern way to harvest is to break off the larger leaves, but not the lowest ones, which tend to be tough, dirty and somewhat yellowed. The rest of the plant continues to make more leaves for subsequent harvests. If the plants are threatening to bolt, I'll cut the whole plant--or sometimes use the unopened flower buds for an early spring version of broccoli. If I want a few leaves to chop into a winter salad, I take the tenderest few from the top.
In Thelma Reaves's neighborhood, they begin to cut the whole central head of the cabbage-collard types when serious cold weather is expected, traditionally around Thanksgiving. "That central head is lighter green, sweeter and very delicious," says Thelma. Central heads are the main collard crop December through February in Ayden, whereas just the leaves are picked spring through late fall, according to Thelma.
On older collard leaves and in warmer weather, the central midribs may be tough and are often cut out of the leaves before cooking. In fall when I'm cutting my collards, the midribs are very sweet and I chop them up with the rest of the leaves.
Collards and kale are a nutritionist's delight. A cup of cooked collards contains only 55 calories but twice the total recommended daily dietary allowance for vitamins C and A. That cup contains more calcium than a cup of milk, and more potassium than a banana. Kale is a bit lower than collards in these nutrients, but higher in iron.
Traditional greens cookery could go on for hours and include fatback or bacon. But to me, collards and kale are best with minimal cooking--just long enough that they are tender but still a nice green color. Our favorite way to eat these greens is sauteed with garlic, onion and tarragon, seasoned with a few shakes of vinegar and tossed with pasta and grated cheese. This very un-southern use of collards and kale is consumed enthusiastically by all members of my family, whether age 1 1/2, five or over 40. Not bad for something that grows so easily and satisfies the voice of dietary conscience.

So a couple of months ago I had written about a new liqueur on the market called Harlem. Not named after the neighborhood in New York, it's named after the city in Amsterdam called Haarlem. But I had never tried it.
That was until last week when the folks that work for Harlem, came out to The Lodge, in downtown Orlando, and invited us media types to try it out.
First off, if you have tried Harlem and thought, wow, this kind of reminds me of Jagermeister — that's the point. There is no veiled attempt here, the Harlem folks (Nolet Spirits USA who are also responsible for Ketel One) have created the kruiden (herbal) liquor to directly compete with Jager. Stronger in alcohol content, at 80 proof, it is meant to be drank as an ice-cold shot. But like Jager, that ice-cold shot will be giving many a college student that familiar burn once it's thrown down their necks.
Unlike Jager, the flavor star here is not black licorice but mandarin orange and unlike Jager there are some other things you can do with Harlem besides drinking it as a shot or with Red Bull.
During the tasting, cocktails were made by the very friendly Mobi Dunaway who bartends at The Lodge. He made some of Harlem's drinks and created some of his own. A popular one, although a bit too sweet for me was the "Red Light" which combined Harlem, pineapple juice and grenadine. You can check out the recipe here. Some favorites of mine during the testing were "Harlem & Ginger" (a mixture of Harlem and ginger ale) and the "Dutch Punch" (Harlem, cranberry juice, pineapple juice, grenadine, and lime juice). You would think the "Dutch Punch" would be too sweet, if I thought the "Red Light" was, but it really tasted like a Hawaiian Punch and everything seemed to balance out.
The one thing I will say about all the cocktails that I liked was that the Harlem taste didn't dominate the taste of the overall drink.
The target market is early-mid 20-somethings, and I don't think they'll have a hard time attracting them. Shots run around $5 and although I'm not a Jager fan, there is many a 20-something that is. And if I had to choose between black licorice and citrus I would go for the citrus, especially if it can be mixed in a drink where I can barely taste it.
Interested in trying it yourself? You can obviously find it at The Lodge and these other places around Orlando:

ZF-412: Support delayed file deleting on Windows systems.
Quote from Lucene index file format description:
Deletable File
A file named "deletable" contains the names of files that are no longer used by the index, but which could not be deleted. This is only used on Win32, where a file may not be deleted while it is still open. On other platforms the file contains only null bytes.
Importance of this feature is increased, if we have optimization functionality finished.
Problem is gone with new index format support. Index folder clean-up performs necessary tasks.
