Personal Effects
Hint Water founder Kara Goldin always has been, in her words, "a problem solver." "Someone just asked me the other day, 'Do you consider yourself a beverage executive?' and I replied, 'I consider myself a problem solver,'" she says. "I've worked in multiple industries now: publishing, cable television, the Internet, I've run e-commerce groups, and now I'm running a beverage company. And all of these involved solving a problem for the consumer."
The idea for Hint came to Goldin during some time off from running AOL's e-commerce group to raise her kids. She credits that time with allowing her to take a deep look at her own life and her family's. "I was thinking about not only what I wanted to do with my life but also what I was putting into my body. Watching my young kids I was thinking what am I going to be doing to help them start their lives off right?"
One problem she noticed right off the bat was that they were all consuming too much sugar. "I thought it would be great to just get them drinking water," she says.
Plain water, however, just wasn't the answer. None of them, including Goldin and her husband, Theo, took to it. "So, one day, I just took the fruit on the counter that we had been eating, sliced it up and threw it into a pitcher of water and the next day I came back and saw that everybody in my house was drinking the fruit water that was in the pitcher. And I started drinking it, and pretty soon two weeks had gone by and I hadn't had a Diet Coke and my kids were drinking the water with the fruit in it and they weren't even asking for juice anymore. We were all drinking more water."
Goldin's years of business experience kicked in; she smelled an opportunity. The first thing was a trip to the supermarket. "I figured there had to be this product out there already somewhere," she says. She couldn't find one like it anywhere. Then came her pitch to Whole Foods in San Francisco and a strong dose of reality. "He asked who my distributor would be and all these points that I had no idea what I was sort of getting into and no idea even where to look," she says. Undeterred, she went home and told Theo she was launching a beverage company, "and that I was taking $50,000 out of our bank account and I'm buying bottles and caps and I'm doing it. And he looked at me like I had lost my mind and should be committed," she says laughing. Theo, whose business background included the role of Netscape's first intellectual property attorney today works for Hint as its COO.
Ordinary consumers like Goldin, most of the time with no previous experience in the beverage business, have searched the store shelves, walked away disappointed, and then had a eureka moment: 'Hey, if they're not making the drink that I want, maybe I should start one myself!'
Another was Honest Tea co-founder Seth Goldman. "I had been involved in political campaigns, I had worked on Capitol Hill, I had run a non-profit in downtown Baltimore, so I was somebody who was inclined to act on things I care about," he says. "So this was another opportunity to act on something I cared about. And fortunately for me, it connected with the fact that I was thirsty," he says, laughing, explaining that the need for Honest Tea occurred to him after a long run through Central Park and then a search in vain in a nearby New York City store for something refreshing that had fewer than 100 calories or so. "I personally identified with the need for the product. And at the same time, this was a vehicle for me to take some of that activist energy and desire to play a role in helping to create change."
Goldman is quick to laugh when reciting his story, and, aside from passion and a drive, a good sense of humor seems to be one trait all these beverage entrepreneurs have in common: an ability to laugh at themselves and at the risks they have taken to launch their brands. In fact, many of them say if they knew how hard it would be they probably never would have tried.
Dreams Meet Reality
Beth Parentice, founder of Sipp Organic Soda, had a passion for mixology and working with ingredients to devise new cocktails as long as she could remember. She had been creating cocktail menus for restaurants, but after changing jobs suddenly found herself laid off. "I thought, 'Do I want to go back into the corporate world again and potentially take the chance of getting laid off or really think about something else I wanted to do and create something on my own?' So through a lot of thinking about the things I love to do and finding my passion and talking with friends, I realized what I really enjoy doing is creating cocktails, entertaining. So I decided to take what I was doing at home, creating innovative cocktails for people when I entertained, always using fresh and natural ingredients, organic when I could find it, and turn that into a business."
The first iteration of what would eventually become Sipp was a website—which still exists—called Eco Bar. Through the website Parentice started getting calls to cater events with her natural cocktails.
"I realized from people's feedback that they were really getting away from things that had coloring or preservatives, artificial flavor," she recalls. "They really loved the fact that what I was creating was natural and organic and the fresh taste came through. People were coming up to me and asking, 'Where can I buy this? How can I get it? How can I make it?' Most were overwhelmed by having to get the different ingredients to make the drinks themselves. That was sort of the moment where I thought: 'Maybe I have something here.'"
Rose Cameron, founder of the kids' water, WAT-AAH!, says she was faced with a constant battle to get her two kids, Jack and Luke, big fans of soda, to drink healthier beverages. The idea for WAT-AAH! sprung from one night at the dinner table when her kids actually suggested she create a water for them, but with one caveat: "They wanted it to be cool, not boring like how they thought water was," she says. Cameron's decades of experience in advertising and marketing for clients like Coke, Chanel and other top names immediately kicked into gear. "With the growing awareness of childhood obesity and the fact that sugar and sodas are seen as one of the major culprits of that, I thought there was a big void there that maybe I should go after," she says.
Christina Paganelli, founder of Drinkme, a line of high pressure processed kale drinks, was battling both cancer and M.S., when she turned to her background as a student of chemistry for salvation. "I created the product for myself because I was in a real situation with my health," she says. "I wanted a drink for basically maintenance of my health. I had to find a way to live with cancer because you don't normally hear the words cure and cancer used in the same sentence ever." Hearing of the health benefits of kale and that it was being researched at Johns Hopkins University specifically for its ability to turn cancer cells off in the body, she began investigating it further. "I never set out to start a business, but people started witnessing transformations in my health and asking me what I was doing?"
And Chandra Davis, founder of Drink Chia!, was a dedicated athlete, training for a marathon, in fact, when digestive issues started getting the best of her. "I was basically using sports beverages on the market to hydrate with and was having quite a bit of issues with my stomach sloshing and cramping," she recalls. Turned off by the sports drinks' high sugar and calorie content, she came across information about chia seeds. "I was really intrigued because it's called the running food," she says. "It is amazing for hydration and endurance and has high amounts of omegas." Upon further discovery that it could be made into a beverage, she started creating home brews and started feeling the difference it made in her performance. "As I started talking to other people, especially those in the running world, a lot of people were having the same issues and looking for something a little bit more natural out there," she says.
But while each of these entrepreneurs had identified a need for their new beverages, making their ideas come to fruition would be another matter entirely.
"There were a lot of hurdles along the way that I could have easily walked away and just said 'This is too much, I can't do it.' I felt that way like every other day," Parentice now recalls. "But it was something I was really passionate about and I just persevered through. And each step of the way when it seemed like this was it, this was the end, something positive would happen and it just moved the business forward."
Two turning points in her luck particularly stand out. The first: finding a flavor house to commercialize her formula and being told it would cost her between $25,000 and $35,000, money she just didn't have. "But then I made a decision for one week I would call every flavor house I could find that had organic extracts and just tell my story and hope somebody would listen. And the third day I got somebody on the phone at A.M. Todd (now part of Wild Flavors) who would listen to me and I flew out to California and pitched my product and they have been working with me since the beginning, creating the formula at no cost because they believe in the brand. Really without that we wouldn't have been able to move forward for the next step," she says.
But Parentice wasn't out of the woods yet. Eventually she was faced with a fateful decision: use her remaining money to do one more production run or to exhibit at that year's Natural Products Expo. She chose the Expo. There, she would notice a group of European businessmen hovering around her booth, but keeping their distance. "I thought they were looking to take my idea and steal it and make it in Europe," she says laughing. "Ok, this is great, we have no money, we're here at the trade show and now I'm going to be ripped off by this European company." As it turned out, the group of businessmen were not looking to steal her idea, but to invest in it. Emil Capital Partners would eventually go on to invest in Sipp and allow Parentice to realize her dream.
For Goldman, some of the biggest hurdles had to do with production. "All of the bottling plants we went to, when we said we wanted to brew the tea instead of adding a powder, they were like, 'Well, we don't do that,'" he recalls. "We bought in these large mesh bags where we thought we'd be able to brew the tea that way but the tea leaves didn't get a full immersion in these filter bags and the bags would break and then the pipes would clog and the pipes would burst and then we'd end up with tea everywhere but in the bottle. But it just kept evolving. Every step of the way we said here's how we can do it better."
Help Along the Way
The business world often is viewed as cold, competitive, dog-eat-dog. And while this may be true to some extent, many of these drinks entrepreneurs say they were often surprised by the altruism of industry veterans they encountered. Parentice says especially helpful has been Steaz co-founder Eric Schnell. "To me he was like the beverage guru," she says. "He's the one that forged the way in organic certification with carbonated beverage." One thing led to another and Parentice found herself in a meeting with Schnell, having him sample the Ginger Blossom version of Sipp. "He said it's really hard but if you keep going you can do this, you have something here. And that really helped to inspire me to just keep moving forward to the next step. Later I asked him why are you helping me and he said when he started there were people who helped him."
Not all encounters went as smoothly for these entrepreneurs, however. Recalls Goldin: "At one point I actually talked to someone at Coke who will remain nameless who told me that people don't want products without some sort of sweetener in it. And somewhere along the way he called me 'sweety' and I think that actually encouraged me to actually go and launch the company."
For Paganelli, the biggest initial boost came from not a person, but a country, namely her own, Canada, where she first launched Drinkme. She was able to win some government contests, which gave her the seed money to launch the company and then help re-launch it in the U.S. "I used the $10,000 in funds I received from my contest to support validating some of the research," she says.
Finally, The Rewards
Perhaps surprisingly, none of these entrepreneurs cite the financial payback when listing the biggest rewards that have come from launching their businesses. For some of them, the simple reason is that the money is immediately being reinvested to grow their fledgling brands. But for many of them, it is reward enough to just see their hard work roll off the production line for the first time, or to savor the first time they saw it on the shelf of a store.
It is also the very real gratitude they receive from consumers. For Goldin, it is reading through the various emails each day from consumers who use Hint as a critical part of their diets as they battle everything from cancer to diabetes.
"They view our product as solving a problem for them," Goldin says. "And that's better than working for any non-profit that I can imagine. I mean, it's amazing when you hear from people that you're helping them."
For Cameron, not only is the street cred WAT-AAH! has given her with her kids hugely rewarding, but some time spent recently with First Lady Michelle Obama as part of her Drink Up initiative, to get Americans to drink more water, hasn't been so bad, either.
"Twenty years from now if they ask me what would you remember the most out of this entire experience, I'm telling you it's meeting the First Lady, walking into the White House and helping their objective of fighting obesity and making kids healthy. I'm selling water and trying to get distribution, but at the same time I'm part of a group that's really making a big difference, and that's important to me."

It's Final: Left Whups Right
The Beltway's hard-working think tanks — purveyors of white-papers on everything from the defense industry to macroeconomics — spend the election season supplying a relentless stream of talking heads and talking points to the 24-hour punditry cycle. Funny thing, despite facing off for countless rounds on Fox and CNN, neither side ever seems to win.
No — wait — this just in! We hear the Center for American Progress won a decisive victory yesterday against the Heritage Foundation.
More specifically, the Supply Sliders -- one of two softball teams fielded by Heritage -- were trounced 17-8 by the Leftfielders, representing CAP, seen at left after the big moment. Along its path to victory, the Leftfielders bested the Axis of Eagle (Eagle Publishing) and the Outliers (Urban Institute).
In a statement, Leftfielders coaches Anne Shoup and Adam Jentleson called the win "not just a victory for CAP and the Leftfielders, but for America. Last night's result showed with clarity and certitude that the progressive vision represents the future of this country, and the failed conservative policies of the last 8 years will soon be relegated to the past."
Brian Darling, one of Heritage's coaches, at first called yesterday "a terrible day in Heritage history," noting that the foundation's teams had won the league each year of its existence (about four). But soon after he emailed this statement: "Although we did not have as many recorded runs as the Center for American Progress in the game last night, we demand a recount of the final score and if the recount does not come out as expected, we petition the Department of Treasury to bail us out of this loss with some needed runs. We are too big to fail."
Heritage may have been a victim of its own success. Able to field two teams, the Heritage Tools (aka Capitalist Tools) had beat the Leftfielders a couple of times earlier in the season. Then the Sliders knocked their fellow righties out of the running, setting the stage for their loss to the Leftfielders. Darling was gracious about it, but the Heritage Softball blog was still crowing about a squeaker the Tools won against CAP in June.
You can catch the Think Tank League (motto: "Smart People Playing (poorly)") and its four divisions -- the Bull Moose, Free Soil, Greenbacks, and Whigs -- in action at , or at photographer Andrew Blasko's site. And here's an NPR blogger's take on the Think Tank League, from earlier in the season.

Quinn is incensed! No Golden Retriever — one of the most loved dogs in the US — has ever won Best in Show at the annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.
"You can't tell me," she says, "that in the show's 136 years no Golden was perfection personified! No, this year a Peke won — a somewhat overgrown caterpillar. Goldens and Golden lovers unite! It's about time a Golden Retriever was crowned Best in Show at The Westminster. It's about time a Golden sat in the place of honor at lunch the following day at Sardi's."
"Next February," says Quinn, "I am going to protest this injustice and Occupy Westminster! Pack up your tents and join me!"

Film Critic David Thomson Kicks Off Mondays with Milos series: A Celebration of the Films of Milos Forman
For Immediate Release:
August 29, 2012
August 29, 2012
Contact: Robert Butler
Film Critic David Thomson Kicks Off Mondays with Milos series: A Celebration of the Films of Milos Forman
David Thomson, frequently described as "the greatest living film critic and historian," returns to the Kansas City Public Library to launch the screening of a two-month series of films by the great Czech-American director Milos Forman, who turned 80 this year.
Thomson speaks on Milos Forman: Finding a Nest and introduces the Oscar-winning Forman film One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, a 1975 adaptation of Ken Kesey's novel about a fun-loving miscreant who rallies the patients of a mental institution. The film won Oscars for Foreman as well as for actor (Jack Nicholson), actress (Louise Fletcher), picture, and screenplay. The program takes place on Monday, September 10, 2012, at 6:30 p.m. at the Plaza Branch, 4801 Main St.
The series, called Mondays with Milos, is co-sponsored by the Honorary Consul of the Czech Republic, the Honorary Consul of the Slovak Republic, and the Czech and Slovak Club of Greater Kansas City. Additional funding has been provided by the Missouri Humanities Council.
Forman was born in Czechoslovakia, orphaned during World War II, and educated in a Communist film school. Fleeing his homeland after the Soviet crushing of the reformist "Prague Spring" in 1968, he came to the United States to continue his moviemaking career.
Not only did Forman survive in America, he excelled, winning two Academy Awards for best director and turning out motion pictures that showed a deep understanding of his adopted country.
Thomson, born in Great Britain and now a resident of Los Angeles, is the author of more than 20 books, among them Have You Seen...? A Personal Introduction to 1,000 Films, the New Biographical Dictionary of Film, The Moment of Psycho, The Whole Equation: A History of Hollywood, and individual books on Bette Davis, Gary Cooper, Ingrid Bergman, Humphrey Bogart, Nicole Kidman, Warren Beatty, Marlon Brando, Orson Welles, and David O. Selznick. He has taught film studies at Dartmouth College and been a regular contributor to The New York Times, Film Comment, Movieline, The New Republic, and Salon. His previous appearance at the Kansas City Public Library took place in August 2010 when he spoke about Alfred Hitchcock.
Admission is free. A 6 p.m. reception precedes the event.RSVP online or call 816.701.3407.
Following the Plaza branch screening of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Mondays with Milos, continues on Mondays at 6:30 p.m. throughout September and October in the Stanley H. Durwood Film Vault at the Central Library, 14 W. 10th St. with the following titles:

Sasquatch 2013 – Monday lineup preview
Damn you Bigfoot stage! Damn you. Yet again your lineup annoys me at how good it is. With such a great expanse to explore, not stretching one's legs seems lazy. But Honda's forcing you to debate set options again.
The fantastic thing about a festival as diverse as Sasquatch! is that if you can drag yourself away from your favourite (Bigfoot) stage for a while, and you wander around the grounds, you can not only get your hair cleaned – but also maybe discover some new music from a great band, live.
If over the past few days you haven't seen performances on all stages, utilize this last day and check out at least one random artist/band that you haven't seen, on a stage you haven't visited. If, however, you have seen all stages. Stay at Bigfoot until at least The Lumineers are on.

Atherosclerosis is not a heart disease per se -- but it is the leading cause of heart disease. Atherosclerosis is a chronic condition in which plaque forms in the lining of artery walls. The term "plaque" refers to an accumulation of fats, calcium and other substances in artery walls that forms in response to arterial damage and inflammation. As atherosclerosis progresses, it can block blood flow in the affected arteries. When atherosclerosis occurs inside the coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart, it causes coronary heart disease.
Genesis of Atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis begins with damage to the lining of the artery wall. This damage is commonly caused by elevated blood pressure, smoking and high blood levels of cholesterol and triglycerides. The damage sets off an inflammatory process as the body works to repair the damage. Fatty deposits, cholesterol and other substances accumulate at the site of the damage, resulting in further inflammation. This vicious inflammatory cycle creates the unhealthy environment that fosters the growth of the plaques.
Coronary Atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries -- or coronary heart disease -- is the leading cause of death in the United States for men and women. As coronary atherosclerosis advances, plaques can become large enough to impede blood flow and deprive the heart of needed oxygen. Established plaques are prone to rupture, which typically triggers formation of a blood clot. The formation of a clot at the site of a coronary artery plaque obstructs blood flow to the heart, causing a heart attack.
Contributing Factors
Some level of atherosclerosis occurs with advancing age. Other contributing factors include elevated cholesterol levels, high blood pressure, diabetes and smoking. Smoking causes rapid damage to the blood vessels, setting off the atherosclerotic process. People with type 2 diabetes have 2 to 4 times the risk for atherosclerosis, compared to people without diabetes. High blood pressure and high levels of circulating blood cholesterol and triglycerides also contribute to the development and progression of atherosclerosis.
Preventing Atherosclerosis
The American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiologists emphasize a number of lifestyle modifications for preventing atherosclerosis. Their recommendations include following a heart-healthy diet, getting 40 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise 3 or 4 days per week, abstaining from all tobacco products and maintaining a healthy weight. They recommend a diet rich in vegetables, fruits and whole grains with an emphasis on lean protein. A heart healthy diet is also low in fat, overall -- especially saturated fat and cholesterol -- with limited amounts of sweets, salt and red meat.

I love Fashion but I hate paying tons of money to look great. I believe you need two things the knowledge of what looks good on you and the skill to find it for less. I encourage you to get rid of all the items in your closet that you do not wear. They cloud up your options to make really great outfits because you can't see your clothes! If they are in good condition sell the at a consignment store or a place like Plato's closet, or host a clothing swap. Clothing swaps are a blast!
The best things in life are free. I think it is nice to build my wardrobe on the cheap or for free! This year my goal is to get organized. I am going to head to my closet and get rid of everything that I do not wear or that does not fit. Then I am going to tackle the kid's closet. Finally I will organize a swap. I will get new to me clothes and be able to pass on items that no longer fit myself or the kids.
The next step for free clothes is to cash in on all the reward cards I have accrued using my Gymboree credit card and my Discover card. I get a $10 gift card for every $1,000 I spend. I think this is a super way to build towards a super wardrobe. I put everything on my card and then every Wednesday night I pay off the balance. I bought almost all my holiday presents using my reward cards. I charge as many bills as I can on my credit card. I have my mortgage, cell phone, gas, groceries, Home Owners dues, and power directed toward my card.
The third way to get clothes on the cheap is to shop on Ebay. I find that I can find everything in the store online for a lot less. I often go to the big box store try something on then hunt to find it for less. I have also been know to go to goodwill online. I have bought very expensive Coach boots for $50.00 and they were new!
The best way to save money is to shop ahead of time. I am always on the hunt for items in my kid's next size. I shop the clearance section with my gift cards to score the best items for the least amount. If you buy classic items you can get them for less. I am going to head to Plato's closet to see what I can find. The stores usually have coupons out right now to get the items you need for less. They are practically giving them away. You have to think if I buy this will It be worn? Is this an item that will be in style next year? I mean how much can a pair of khakis change in a year? The best fashion advice I have for you is to buy things that fit you and your budget.

Treasure Hunt LbNA # 18270
|Placed Date
|Sep 25 2005
|St. Paul, MN
[Boxes 1 & 4 reported as possibly missing May 2009. -Webmaster]
Once upon a time there was a noble and honorable king. The king had never lost a battle until one fateful evening when the fates turned against him. While defending his province from the ravages of evil, the tables turned. The king foresaw his fate. He knew his forces were doomed, and thus buried his treasure on the battlefield. The enchanted forest of Battle Creek arose on this hallowed earth. To this day, his treasure has not been found. However, a few stalwart creatures that protect the treasure still remain in the enchanted forest. If you are pure of heart and abide by the code of chivalry, they will assist you in your quest.
The Dragon:
Enter the forest of Battle Creek by its lower entrance. Harness your noble steed and unleash your loyal hound, he is free to roam in these forests. Your quest will begin on the path to the right. Follow this path around the bend. Stop when you have reached a stream on your right. Follow the stream to its fork. At the fork look right beyond an old gnarled tree. You will see the lair of a Dragon. As you know, dragons are misers of gems and crystals and thus loves geometric rocks. Fear not, tis but a wee dragon and he will point the way to the wizards hovel.
The Wizard:
Continue along the paved path. Take the large grassy path to your left. On the grassy path you will pass a marsh on your left. The path will begin to ascend a small hill. At the top of this little hill to your left will be a large tree about 12 paces off the path that looks like a perfect harbor for a wizard. This tree is but a decoy. The wizards hovel is inside the base of a slit tree 22 more paces into the wood. If you are pure of heart the wizard will gaze into his crystal ball and show you the way to the castle.
The Castle:
Back on the path you will very quickly come to a fork in the road. At the fork, go left. When you arrive back on the paved path go right. You will pass ponds on either side of you. After you pass a bench on the left, go left onto another unpaved path. At the T, go left. After you completely pass the first pond on your left, there will be a trail to your right (dont take it!). 27 paces down the main path from the side trail is a lone tree on the right, which goes from 1 to 4 to 9. 27 paces off the trail to the left at the base of a large tree is the last remaining stone of the castle. The treasure is not in the castle so you must continue on.
The Treasure:
Continue on the main path. Pass an orange marker on your right. You will come to a Y in the trail. There is an orange marker surrounded by three trees at this point. Take the trail to the left. Thou will arrive at another juncture. Straight ahead your trusty steed will await you. But you still must recover the treasure or your sovereign will be angry. Take the trail to the left. Go left again for 53 steps down the paved path. To your left will be a small deer trail. 50 steps down this path look right. 25 steps up the hill you will see a large tree. The treasure awaits you buried under rocks at the base of this tree.
Please be sure to re-hide the Lbs well. This is a well-populated area so please hunt carefully.

Oak Grove (Tuscaloosa/Jefferson) EF-2 Tornado
January 23rd, 2012
National Weather Service meteorologists have surveyed the damage just east of the Black Warrior River near the Tuscaloosa and Jefferson County line. The damage was the result of an EF-2 tornado. The tornado touched down 1 mile west of Groundhog Road. The tornado then moved northeast across Lock 17 Road, Camp Oliver Road, and Toadvine Road. The tornado lifted along Toadvine Road just southwest of Short Creek. Numerous trees were snapped and uprooted along the damage path. One fatality occurred along Toadvine Road where a mobile home was totally destroyed. Several other structures received varying degrees of damage along the path.

- It usually disappears - in England, as in France - with the rest of the pluck (heart, liver, lungs) into faggots, sausages and pâtés.
- Their innate modesty is expressed in their alternative names - rissoles, patties, faggots - and a complete absence of trend-setting ingredients such as mizuna, enoki, frog's legs and mascarpone.
- His faggots were legendary. 'We opened in 1994; eight months later, we had a Michelin star, one of the fastest ever to be won.'
- She threw an extra fagot in the fire and when she examined him, Raine noticed for the first time how young he really was.
- Between the Neanderthal's bundle of burning faggots and the blinding blue glare of the modern headlight, man has brightened the darkness in a number of ingenious ways.
- When the plotters breached the cellars at Westminster, Fawkes set the explosives under a pile of faggots.
- The faggots of blistered steel are made by binding in a bundle, around a bar of double that length, four pieces of eighteen inches long, which are secured in their positions by a small band of wrought iron, which is subsequently removed.
- These faggots are placed in the forge hearth until they have attained a strong welding heat.
- The word took an approbrious turn sometime in the 16th century, when faggot became an abusive nickname for a woman.
- A faggot woman was dismissed as one would dismiss a bundle of sticks.
verb (faggots, faggoting, faggoted; US fagots, fagoting, fagoted)[with object]

faggoty adjective
- Example sentences
- I see you still got this faggoty couch, Ward said.
Middle English (in the sense 'bundle of sticks for fuel'): from Old French fagot, from Italian fagotto, based on Greek phakelos 'bundle'.
Faggot was first recorded in the sense 'bundle of sticks for fuel'. It comes via Old French from Italian fagotto, which was based on Greek phakelos 'bundle'. Towards the end of the 16th century, the word came to be used as an abusive term for a woman; later, in the early 20th century, this was applied as offensive slang in US English to a male homosexual. The abbreviation fag dates from the 1920s. Faggot also came to be used for any general bundle or collection of things by the end of the 15th century, and this is the source of faggot for the traditional English dish known as a faggot (mid 19th century), which is made up from miscellaneous bits of chopped pork and offal bundled together.

One of the best new features for PS has to be the CC libraries. Now instead loading various presets via their preset's panels, the items can be stored for instant access and the items can also then be accessible in some form or other in other tools such as Illustrator. All the artworks in these sets can now be used in Illustrator as well and as paths you can quickly manipulate the items and create many new artworks as well as perhaps smooth out some points / anchors etc in the path. All super easy. Graphicxtras Tutorial on how to use them with the creative cloud libraries
You may be interested in gear fonts with other sets such as Pages, Illustrator etc
The CSH set can be double clicked to load the vectors into the application; you can also right click the CSH presets to load them. In some versions of Adobe ® Photoshop ®, you can use the open menu command to load the them. You can also place the CSH presets into the presets folder and then use the panel to load / replace them. You can also use the preset manager dialog found via the edit menu Install Custom Shapes in Photoshop Tutorial
Yes, they can all be combined in many different ways either by using them as layers and then using the unite / subtract options to merge the layers into one. You can apply them close or far apart. Do not expect to make an entire machine out of all the cogs and wheels though as the various spokes are not made to join etc as there are chunky, rounded, thick, thin etc. You can also use them pixels as well as layers and you can combine them then either using the normal blending mode or perhaps combine them with different blending modes such as overlay or difference. You can combine them into all kinds of intricate as well as basic imagery, perhaps using them to create frames and more.
You can use them in a single composite RGB image but you can use them (in pixel mode) in the red channel, green channel, blue channel separate or just not applied at all to a particular color channel. The result depends on the color of the vector. You can also do the same if you are using CMYK, LAB image modes etc but instead they are applied to Lightness or Cyan or Yellow channels etc. You can, if you wish to use certain effects, split the channels apart and then apply the effects and then merge, this is all done via the channels panel.
You can use them with solid colors but if you are using them as a layer you can set the color to a sold color as well as a gradient and also a pattern and you can also add strokes (again with gradients etc). You can also apply Photoshop gradients to them if you use them as layers with layer effects added - gradients can be added via the glow, gradient overlay as well as the stroke settings. If you use them as a pixel fill then the gradients can be added to the cogs via the gradient tool which can be added using blending modes. You can also add gradients to them via the adjustment layers by using the gradient map feature which can results in some truly extreme color effects especially combining with the curves feature.
You can use the gear shapes as a normal paths and you can apply normal effects and if you decide that you have made a mistake, you can always use the undo. A better approach is to use them as layers and then use the layer menu smart objects and convert to smart object command. As a smart object, they can have effects added and removed and the settings changed in seconds; you can also use them with features such as perspective warp to distort the path into all kinds of weird and wonderful forms. You can also combine the smart object with adjustment layers such as cuves (again they can be edited and removed as required) and also with layer effects. The entire object can also now be quickly saved and used as a PSB file via the smart object menu and convert to linked. With the CC 2015 release you can also now use them the smart adjustments with the hue / saturation and black and white etc are associated only with that layer.
The gear shapes are vectors for any size of work and use. They were all initially created in Illustrator and you can copy them via the clipboard / pasteboard back from PS into Illustrator. You can also quickly copy them via the CC libraries which is a great feature of the creative cloud CC 2014 as well as CC 2015 which introduced a new linked library feature (making the whole thing even better as the gears are then synched throughout the cloud). Once in Illustrator, you can use them in countless ways such as add them as swatches / tiles as well as symbols and brush strokes but you can also simply use them as normal paths and edit the points etc. You can also use them with the powerful third party plugins that are available for use with AI such as Mirrorme and WidthScribe and the new ColliderScribe from Astute Graphics. You can modify the artwork in 1000s of ways and finally then re-copy the item back to PS and re-define the item. You can also use them with styles to add effects such extrude style effects or scribbles / hand drawn effects or add a touch of gradient class
The best way to use them in the powerful Affinity designer is to copy the item from PS to AI and then to Affinity. Another better option with PS CC 2015 would be to use the new export feature (file menu) and save that as a SVG file as SVG files can be opened and edited in Affinity. You can then add additional points, round, add gradients and transparency etc and then save the result to an EPS file etc and then re-import the item into PS (PS cannot import SVG but at least it can now export SVG without the need for an external plugin). The Affinity designer is an excellent vector tool and works well in combination with the apps in the creative cloud CC 2015 and 2014 etc
You can't use them in other applications, the CSH has very limited support but you can always save the cog CSH vectors as a layer by using the export menu command to save as an Illustrator file (AI format). You can also copy them via the pasteboard to Illustrator as well as to some other parts of the Creative Cloud. If you want to use them as raster files then it is easier as you simply have to apply (once or multiple times and perhaps combining with effects) and then saving that via the save command to a PNG or TIFF image which can then be opening in apps such as Corel PSP. I would suggest PSD but it still amazes me how many times this format still cannot be read particularly well in even the Adobe's apps - surely by now the PSD / AI etc format should be accessible in all of the graphic apps of the Creative Cloud (used it with Acrobat recently and the file could not be used to build a PDF which struck me as truly weird)
You can find out a lot more about the tools via our graphicxtras video channel on Youtube. I am always adding new video tutorials to those pages every couple of days such as how to load them, how to convert them, how to use them as frames, how to apply styles, how to use with gradients, how to combine with text, use with smart filters, adjustments, how to use them in different channels and much more. Any questions, please let me know and I will try and create a video on the subject.

Tom Sims (1950-2012) – Forever Missed, Forever Loved and Forever a Legend
September 12, 2012, as we all now know, was a heavy day. Tom Sims passed away at far too young of an age. It was an immense loss to snowboarding and skateboarding and to all who knew him. Lucky for us, Tom left behind a legacy and his accomplishments speak for themselves. A true pioneer, Tom brought forward thinking concepts and innovations
that forever changed the landscape of the snow and skate industry. He essentially shaped both of these sideways standing disciplines as we know them today.
His constant quest for the deepest powder, the longest downhill paved road and the smoothest wave has been and always will be an inspiration to us all.
Below we've compiled some of our favorite images of Tom throughout the years and gathered quotes from major figures in the industry. Tom Sims, a true legend:
An industry reacts to the passing of a legend:
Bob Klein
"The definition of a pioneer could be described in different ways. Tom transcended any definition of the word. He was the passionate visionary who saw the need for a World Championship and immediately made history by adding the First Halfpipe Contest. He took the raw aggression of skateboarding and complimented it with the First Pro-Model. So many Firsts, so many impressions made. Tom Sims made the world a much better place and I'll miss him a lot."
Scott Clum, Former SIMS Art Director and Original Pro Team Rider
"'Innovation'. That was Tom. He was extremely dedicated and passionate about the development of his brand. For over 25 years we progressed SIMS with so many projects, we always wanted to keep that spirit alive with everything we worked on together, we really brought out the best in each other and believed deeply in that commitment."
Pat Bridges, Editor of Snowboard Magazine
"Tom Sims not only pioneered snowboarding, but he also popularized what has come to be known as the action-sports lifestyle. He had a different modus for having a good time standing sideways, depending on the season."
Kevin Kinnear, Founding Editor at TransWorld SNOWboarding
"I'm suffering from a double-barrel blast of despair—losing you as a friend as well as the true story of your legendary life so the rest of the world can fully comprehend just how vital you were to the creation of snowboarding. Most of all, I'll miss sharing your incredibly dynamic and creative personality that inspired so many of us to follow in your tracks."
Gaetan Chanut, SIMS Team Rider
"Tom's story is a great inspiration for a lot of us. He gave me the opportunity to be where I am today and I am grateful for it. He made a huge impact all around the world and his passion will live on for as long as people have the need to shred. Thanks Tom!"
Brad Steward, Salomon/Bonfire Founder & Marketing Director
"I say we all pause today and put a name to that first Pioneer, that first burst of energy that made us think, 'There might be something to do here, something to grow here.' The name of that Pioneer is Tom Sims. I will never believe Tom Sims invented snowboarding, I will always believe that he invented the Snowboarder."
Terry Kidwell, Former SIMS Rider
"Tom's passion for board sports influenced so many people's lives. Thank you for everything
you did to make modern snowboarding and skateboarding what they are today. Riding for SIMS in the eighties was an incredible time in my life. Tom Sims, Snowboarding and Skateboarding legend will live in our hearts forever."
Louis 'LOFO' Fournier, Developer of the SIMS E-Board Technology
"Tom was the first passionate skater, snowboarder and businessman to have the vision to produce the most important game changing product innovations of the board sports culture. Even in the early days, with all the risk involved, using his own personal finances, years before other players, he confidently progressed into uncharted territory. This progression came from Tom's strong dedication, focus and vision for developing these new disciplines."
Jeff Galbraith, Publisher of Frequency: The Snowboarder's Journal
"Tom was an idiosyncratic and iconic dude. He was the coolest cat around when snowboarding was the coolest thing ever. To see him swooping the lines and powder at Mt. Baker in the most garish one-piece suits was a thing of beauty. When he entered the lodge, the music seemed to stop and everyone took note. For all the aura he gave off at those early races, it was clear he was a gentle soul who deeply loved snowboarding, as well as his friends and family."
Todd Richards, Former SIMS Rider
"Thanks Tom for giving me my start in snowboarding. I owe a lot to you, we all do."
Bud Fawcett, SIMS Skateboards Employee in the 70's
"Tom is the original action sports hero and a legendary character to all that knew him."
Christian Hosoi, Former SIMS Pro Skateboarder
"RIP Tom Sims… I turned pro riding for SIMS in 1982. My heart and prayers and deepest condolences go out to the whole SIMS family and friends."
Trent Bush, David Alden, Kurt Olesek Colorado Snowboard Archive and Colorado Ski and Snowboard Museum
"With the passing of Tom Sims, the world lost a true pioneer in snowboard and skateboard culture that goes so much further than his impact in the products that carried the SIMS name. Tom's vision and relentless drive helped shape the identity of an entire generation who discovered a lifestyle that he helped create. Anyone fortunate enough to have stepped on a snowboard or skateboard in the last few decades owes a huge debt of gratitude to Tom Sims, and the work we did with Tom to create the Colorado Snowboard Archive in the Colorado Ski and Snowboard Museum in Vail has taken on even more importance as a way to preserve his legacy. We join the entire snowboard and skateboard world in our best wishes for Tom's family, and Tom, while you've moved on to deeper powder and smoother streets, you will never be forgotten."
Bryan Iguchi, Pro Snowboarder
"Tom is the greatest contributor in the evolution of board-sports. As a surfer, skater and snowboarder, he created and defined the lifestyle of what snowboarding has become by living and breathing it. I probably wouldn't have started snowboarding without Tom's influence on the sport and his vision of progression."
Vince Sanders, Board Room and Never Summer Product Development
"I can't express into words how Tom shaped my world and every snowboarder really. I was a kid with no direction in life and he gave me one."
Seth Hill, SIMS Team Rider
"I am honored to have met, ridden with and gotten to know Tom Sims. Not only is he the father of the snowboarding world, but I know I would not be where I am today without the influence he has had on the industry. He truly loved everything about the industry and you could see his eyes light up about it. Tom will be truly missed, never forgotten and always a legend in my eyes and the eyes of snowboarding."
Al Clark, Former SIMS Rider
"Rest in peace Tom, snowboarding will always treasure the memory of your dedication and life. Tom is snowboarding, he is an endless source of stoke and energy for so many…. we love ya Tom…. and we will never forget what you did for all of us…. thanks for such an amazing ride."
Michael Brooke, Publisher of Concrete Wave Magazine
"Tom was the true first pioneer of what's called longboarding — riding a skateboard over 4 feet in length. He'd ride enormous longboards and cruise down the hills. He was doing this way before anybody else. He liked taking this surf kind of feeling and putting it out there on skateboards."
David Alden, Colorado Snowboard Archive and Colorado Ski and Snowboard Museum | Former SIMS Team Rider
"Tom changed the world. More than any other single person, Tom gave us the gift of modern snowboarding, and in the process made the world a better place to live. He showed us what was possible on a board, and gave us the tools and inspiration to discover our own style. An innovator of the highest order and a genuinely nice guy. Thank you Tom….thank you."
Steve Fisher, Former SIMS Rider and Two Time Winter X Games SuperPipe Gold Medalist
"Tom was definitely the innovator of what snowboarding is today, and his legacy and contributions will be forever remembered and widely embraced."
Annie Fast, Former Editor In Chief at TransWorld SNOWboarding
"An epic life well lived right to the end."

Sonnet 55

Sonnet 55 Warfare Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Line)
Quote #4
'Gainst death and all-oblivious enmity
Shall you pace forth […] (9-10)
Because poetry and memory are safe from war, the speaker can protect his beloved by building a sonnet around him. Unlike the stuff in lines 5-6, this poem-building is going nowhere. But the beloved himself is making tracks. Remembered by everyone, he kicks death's butt and strides into immortality.

A rough mix of The Beatles' Revolution 1, which reveals how the latter song evolved into Revolution 9, has surfaced on the internet.
The mix, numbered RM1 of take 20, was recorded on 4 June 1968. It begins with a studio engineer announcing the take and John Lennon commenting "Take your knickers off and let's go".
Listen to the song (the audio cuts in and out before the music begins):
The recording is similar to the White Album version of Revolution 1, with various differences including the absence of the opening lead guitar. There are also a number of sound effects and vocals which didn't make the final version, including a chorus of "Mama, dada, mama, dada" sung by George Harrison and, possibly, Paul McCartney's then-girlfriend Francie Schwartz.
The music lasts for a little more than 10 minutes. The most fascinating part, however, begins where the album version fades out. In this mix the track becomes a bed for improvisations and ad-libs, which later formed the basis of Revolution 9. Although it lacks many of the sound effects of Lennon's sound collage, the links between the two recordings can be clearly heard.
This rough mix was taken away by John Lennon after it was made. A previous version of the mix has been available for some time, but featured a Yoko Ono monologue over the top of much of it. This clean mix, of better quality than previously-heard bootlegs, is being heralded by Beatles fans as a significant find.

The historic center of Florence is densely urban. Everything is built of stone, and it can be exhausting. You'll be gasping for a breath of fresh air. Even the River Arno gives little relief as it is choked with traffic rushing along the narrow road alongside it, and only the Ponte Vecchio gives a space to stand and peacefully view the river and breathe the air.
But the city is also designed around squares. Many of them are also intensely urban and busy – not a tree to be seen. But they will give you a sense of space and a chance to see the sky – and they are usually surrounded by some of the city's most significant sights (and most expensive cafes, you've been warned!).
1. Piazza della Signoria – the most important of them all, surrounded by the Palazzo Vecchio (town hall) and the Uffizi Gallery. You'll find tired people draped around the sculpture court staring at Michelangelo's David.
2. Piazza di Santa Croce – huge and dominated by the Basilica di Santa Croce. There's nowhere to sit here but the church has a lovely garden and quiet cloisters in which to catch your breath.
3. Santa Maria Novella Square. Near the station and in front of the church of Santa Maria Novella, with a few patches of grass and some public benches, this is where you'll find people lying around morning, noon and night just to relax – or party.
4. Piazza della Indipendenza - north of the city center but still near the station, this grassed and treed 19th century square is a little visited oasis in Florence.
5. Piazza San Lorenzo – another very urban space filled with the famous market but if you head inside San Lorenzo itself you'll find lovely quiet cloisters where you can relax for a while.
If you cross the river you'll find bigger green spaces: the Boboli Gardens, the hillside leading to San Miniato al Monte church and Piazzale Michelangelo, famous for views of the city.

Potential VA Pick Cosgrove Gets Boost From Senators
Lawmakers usually wait for the White House to nominate someone to a high level post before weighing in (except in the case of Larry Summers and the Federal Reserve).
But Ohio's two U.S. senators on Wednesday praised one leading candidate the White House is considering as the next secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs – Cleveland Clinic chief executive Delos "Toby" Cosgrove. Dr. Cosgrove is a physician and hospital executive who served as an Air Force surgeon in Vietnam.
The bipartisan support from Sens. Sherrod Brown, a Democrat, and Rob Portman, a Republican, is notable because any nominee will likely need strong backing from both parties given a heap of issues facing the VA. The agency is facing a number of congressional and inspector general probes, and former secretary Eric Shinseki resigned last week.
"The Cleveland Clinic is a world class facility that provides the world class medical care that our veterans deserve," Mr. Brown said in an emailed statement. He said that "if selected, I hope he'll bring the same success to the VA that the Cleveland Clinic has enjoyed."
Mr. Portman echoed similar support and said Dr. Cosgrove "would bring a lot to the table."
"He's a very competent guy and in particular he is good at health-care delivery, which is one of their great challenges at the VA," Mr. Portman said. "Cleveland Clinic is not only a premier research organization, it also provides very efficient health care — having been there with one of my family members and having talked to Toby as well as many other people about their quality initiatives, safety initiatives, and just efficiency."
The big question: would Dr. Cosgrove take the job if the White House made a formal offer?
Former Rep. Steve LaTourette, a Ohio Republican who has known Dr. Cosgrove for 40 years, said "I don't know that he's reached a decision."

By eliminating products and plants that pollute our environment and require large amounts of water, gardeners have a tremendous opportunity to protect and preserve our planet's health.
Gardeners have witnessed the impact of climate change in recent years. Higher-than-average temperatures cause plants to leaf earlier, birds and butterflies to breed and migrate earlier, and many wildlife species to move to higher elevations and farther north. Climate zone maps are being redrawn as data confirms that warmer zones are migrating north.
As temperatures increase, invasive plants and pests overtake native species and destroy fragile ecosystems. Climate change is exacerbating weather extremes around the world. Conditions range from excessive rain and potential flooding to severe drought.
As gardeners, environmental stewardship is our responsibility. Consider the following list of eight simple actions you can do right now.
Try these simple actions
1. Use rain barrels to capture roof runoff.
2. Catch problems early. Proactive detection makes controlling pests and diseases easier and more eco-friendly.
3. Buy locally (compost, mulch, topsoil and plants). The miles products travel to market can negate other benefits. Plants native to your geographic region are adept at surviving with what nature provides.
4. Use natural nutrients. Rather than synthetic fertilizers, try organic nutrient sources such as grass clippings.
5. Use certified soil and mulch. Mulch is the solution to so many gardening problems. Buy it free of dangerous chemicals.
6. Get a soil test. When you know what your soil needs, you can create a healthier environment for plants, which translates into fewer pests, less water and less work later.
7. Water only when needed. Plants don't need as much as we think to survive. Toughen up plants and save a valuable resource.
8. Compost for healthy, living soil. Simply the best soil amendment you can add, compost provides nutrients, promotes pest and disease resistance, and improves soil. Compost keeps yard debris and kitchen scraps out of the landfill, too.

Middle English (in the sense 'shine brilliantly or dazzlingly'): from Middle Dutch and Middle Low German glaren 'to gleam, glare': perhaps related to glass. The sense 'stare' occurred first in the adjective glaring (late Middle English).
glass from Old English:
The substance glass goes back to ancient Mesopotamia or Phoenicia (modern Lebanon and Syria). Glasses 'spectacles' dates from the mid 18th century, although before that people would use a single glass or 'an eye glass'. 'Men seldom make passes / At girls who wear glasses' is by the American wit Dorothy Parker (1893–1967). The proverb people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, dates from the 17th century. People started complaining of the existence of a glass ceiling, meaning an unofficial barrier to advancement at work, especially for a woman, in the early 1980s. Glaze (Late Middle English), to equip with glass, comes from glass and was first used of eyes, in Shakespeare's Richard II: 'For Sorrowes eyes glazed with blinding tears, Divides one thing entire to many objects.' Glare (Middle English) first found in the sense 'dazzling shine' may be related.

Well addresses and phones is more of a basic PIM(Personal Info Manager_
than a PDA(Personal Data Assistant), though
most PDAs have PIM software.
He could do well enough with a 1-3MB model from Sharp, as that's both a
large number of contacts and all of them have serial or USB sync with
Outlook (LookOut! You have another virus! if you use it for email, or even
online sometimes.) Otherwise Palm still makes B&W PDAs, although gone are
the days of dropping a set of AAAs in it and having it last a month, the
new models use Li-Ion batteries that must be charged more often(A couple
weeks, IIRC)
Sharp, AFAIK uses button-cell backup in most of their PIMs as they do the
Zaurus line of pocket computers.

Since you are not in a domain nor can currently use certificates then your
only option is to use a preshared key for computer authentication and use
the same preshared key on all your client computers and the server. You
would want to configure a request or require ipsec policy [depending on if
you want to make sure all traffic is ipsec or only when possible] on the
server for at least TCP ports 139 and 445 as the destination ports with the
source ports being any and where the destination IP would be the server's IP
[My Ip] and the source IP would be any. Under authentication methods you
would want to add only the preshared key you intend to use. Keep in mind
that the preshared key is stored in the registry in clear text. It would not
be that hard to make your server a CA to issue some certificates to use for
ipsec but even then I would suggest that you use preshared key to at least
make sure that the ipsec policy is working correctly. The command line tool
ipsecmon can help you determine if the ipsec policy is working as expected
or not. The links below may be helpful. --- Steve
