"I ordered these for my wedding invitations, and they came our gorgeous! I loved the design and the color options they offered. I went with the square option, and used the cream colored background and solid color for the back design. I love that the paper is already shimmery, which also adds to the design. I did think the paper was a little thin, and maybe I should have ordered a thicker paper, but overall all I was very happy with my order and my invitations! My order also arrived earlier than expected."
"Absolutely love how the cards turned out! We received so many complements from our family and friends. I used one of our engagement shots and added the ceremony details to personalize. The process was simple and shipping was fast. Customer service was excellent too."
"Loved my pearlized invites! Didn't want them to be overly fancy but had just the right amount of delicate and they are beautiful!"
"I absolutely love my invitations! I was able to add the "Detail" section to the back of the card to save money and it turned out great!"
"I have recently ordered this in the gold text with the white envelopes. Quality of paper, text and colours were brilliant, clear resolution and of fine quality. All personal design requests that i had made were dealt with in no time, quick, friendly helpful service. All ordered online, did not have to telephone or get in contact with anyone, was a simple and easy process overall. Delivery of this item was much faster than i had anticipated, as it was an international delivery it was delivered within 2 working days, which i am very pleased with as i was told it would take up to 5-11 days. Very pleased with this product and with Wedding Paper Divas, especially as this was my first time coming across this website and purchasing from here. i will most definitely recommend this card for someone who is looking for a simple yet elegant wedding invitation. I will also be ordering from Wedding Paper Divas again as i am really impressed with the service, quality and range of choice."

T-Net - Wednesday, August 06, 2014 - linkJust want to comment that I have recently bought the celeron version of this (Q1900) and although low power it does have some issues with the HDMI slot. Mine doesn't show the bios when using HDMI (it just shows corrupted gibberish) and when using Windows 8.1 and hooked up to my TV, the resolutions wouldn't show properly (1920x1080 would overscan with no option of fixing it, and other resolutions just wouldn't fit or would be fuzzy.) So now if I need the BIOS I have to use the VGA connection, and I run OpenELEC and Plex instead of Windows as this is a HTPC setup anyway. Just food for thought. Reply
know of fence - Thursday, August 07, 2014 - linkIf your TV has a DVI-in using a 5$ HDMI to DVI adapter is sometimes the only way to fix overscan related issues. Reply
MonkeyPaw - Thursday, August 07, 2014 - linkWhat do you mean by overscan? Is it drawing too big of a picture on the monitor? If so, there is the abilty to scale the picture in Intel's software. I have to do this (50%/50% scale) for my old SB i3 HTPC setup. Reply
DanNeely - Thursday, August 07, 2014 - linkA lot of TVs discard 20-30 pixels from each edge of the picture and stretch the remainder to fill it. This is an artifact from the CRT era where calibration/etc limits meant that it was nearly impossible to get a picture that filled the entire visible glass exactly. Dead black space around the edge looked bad so the default setup was to expand it so the edges fell on glass behind the bezel.
It's still done with LCD TVs because in AB testing Joe Sixpack will say the one that has the image stretched to make everything slightly bigger looks better. If you're lucky, your TV will have at least one mode that doesn't do this; but it will rarely be explicitly labeled as such, meaning you'll have to try all of them sequentially to find it. Reply
speculatrix - Thursday, August 07, 2014 - linkalso, close captioning in the USA, and teletext service in the Europe, used "spare" lines on the raster scan to carry digital information, and relied on the TV overscan and flyback suppression to make the dots invisible. Reply

It's frustrating that intel or the manufacturers can't see the value in using one of the 11.5W Haswell parts in this sort of build. Paired with a cablecard tuner, it would be a truly excellent media center.
I just have no faith that an Atom can handle the recording/playback of the 4-6 cable streams I will be putting into it. Reply
vnangia - Wednesday, August 06, 2014 - linkRegretfully, I think we are too small a niche for this sort of attention. I'm still using my 35W Sandy Bridge machine from 2011 or so, having never found a better price / performance / wattage combination. Every generation or so I find myself hoping something comes out, but by the time Intel decides to make their Y/U/T parts available, the next generation is already rolling out. Who knows - perhaps AMD might do something spectacular here ... those 25W Kabinis are slowly catching up to the performance of Intel on the compute side, and still have better graphics performance. Though WMC isn't hardware accelerated, VLC has seemed to benefit from hardware acceleration. Reply
StevoLincolnite - Tuesday, August 12, 2014 - linkWMC does have hardware acceleration, you may just have to enable it. Reply
PEJUman - Wednesday, August 06, 2014 - linklook at anand's recent review of i3 surface 3 pro. it uses 6/11W haswell (i3 4020Y). The i3 benches are roughly 180-200% of asus T100 (Z3740, 2W baytrail quads).
I think if you approach this analytically, the 10W baytrail is roughly comparable to 11W haswell.
1. Both have quicksync, at very similiar GPU clocks.
2. the J2900 is ~2.5GHz true quads, which should bench around 180% of Z3470 (~1.4Ghz quads).
3. the i3 4020Y is 1.5 Ghz no turbo duals with HT. again bench around 180-200% of Z3470.
in a nutshell, I would lean towards the bay-trails for cheap, heavily multithreaded application, non-customer facing GUI bound. Conversely, I'd go with the haswell Y series for tablets and other GUI based interaction devices.
Media server with 6 stream encodes... I am not quite sure any of these guys can handle it, heck I would even doubt my OC'd 4770K on handling this kind of workload smoothly. Reply
nirolf - Thursday, August 07, 2014 - linkYou seem to be quite right:
I'm waiting for pricing on this. Or maybe something from Asus, I have their Atom mini-ITX board (with power brick) running for 4 years now. It's a bit dated. Reply
nathanddrews - Thursday, August 07, 2014 - linkECS has a fanless J2900 board for $105, so I would assume that this one (with better features) to be at least $20 more. Toss in a fanless GTX 750 and it would make quite a capable, silent, little gaming machine. Reply
Cygni - Thursday, August 07, 2014 - linkI've currently got a 35w Ivy Bridge underclocked that can handle multiple concurrent streams well, but the fan is definitely kicking on to get it done. I just don't have faith that Bay Trail can handle stream encoding, plus Windows background processes, plus running the Media Center GUI. If it hurts an Ivy Bridge, I feel like you would probably need a Haswell to do this at a lower wattage. Hard to say without some tests *COUGH COUGH* Ian or Anand, looking at you *COUGH*
It's just frustrating because every year I'm hopeful that we will hit the holy grail (a truly fanless HTPC internal cabletuner box), and it seems perpetually a few years away. Reply
StrangerGuy - Thursday, August 07, 2014 - linkI dunno why fanless it's such a omghuge deal when I can do that on a 3+ year old 2500K clocked all the way down to 1.6GHz at <10W and still beats the living crap out of baytrail. On an ITX board with full PCI-E 16x to boot. Reply
speculatrix - Thursday, August 07, 2014 - linkI think you misunderstand the purpose of the board then. There are loads of small motherboards which can be fitted with Haswell CPUs, and I'm sure you could make one fanless or virtually fanless. Reply
mczak - Wednesday, August 06, 2014 - linkI don't think the PCIe slot can be x4, the specs don't seem to mention it neither. Baytrail-D/M only has 4 pcie lanes in total, so unless there's a pcie bridge chip (unlikely in this price bracket imho) a populated x16 slot would not only mean disabling the PCIe slots but disabling the (realtek) LAN as well which is probably unacceptable. So, my guess is the full sized PCIe slot is mostly there for looks, being x1 as well (the other possibility is that it's x2, disabling one of the other slots if populated). Reply
Morawka - Wednesday, August 06, 2014 - linkif the price is right, this is a great way to make your own NAS. ReadyNAS 2 bay with a lot less specs cost you $400 with no drives. This will probably be $120 + $50 case and you got a value NAS Reply
asendra - Thursday, August 07, 2014 - linkTHIS. Put this inside a FD Node 304, which allows up to 6 3,5" HDs, and you have a very decent and stylish NAS for much less than a Synology 414 would cost.
You could even install Xpenology on it if you want to have all the features Synology Nas have.
Hell, you could install a full blown windows or linux and have a NAS + media player all in one, even steam streaming in a not so far future. Yeah you could do this before cheaply with amd chips, but with much higher power consumption.
Only think missing is dual LAN for link aggregation. Reply
mcknig.k - Thursday, August 07, 2014 - linkI am in the process of building a NAS + media player/server. I had originally thought of using an i3-4150 and Gigabyte H97n m-ITX board. This seems like a much cheaper alternative ($120 cheaper to be exact). But with only two SATA3 ports, you think this would serve NAS well? Reply
asendra - Thursday, August 07, 2014 - linkWell, I'm not an expert but It should work well enough. It's definitely faster than the CPUs NAS vendors use, and easier to upgrade ram etc. This board only has two SATA ports, but there are board s with 4 ports and a J1900, the predecessor to this ones, so they should be releasing more options with different connections soon.
Yo could always add a pcie adapter with more SATA ports also, if you don't need the pcie port for anything else.
The only use cases where I could see it struggling with would be transcoding of 1080p video, and if you were to use ZFS for your NAS drives with compression, and deduplication etc
Which OS and which case were you looking to use? Reply
frenchy_2001 - Thursday, August 07, 2014 - linkSATA3 is only required if you use SSD. No HDDs can deliver 300MB/s+ of continuous bandwidth (most HDDs peak around 150MB/s lately, so even SATA1 would be barely limiting).
The 4 SATA ports may be a restriction if you intend to have many drives, but SATA2 will not. Might even be interesting to have your OS drive on USB and then use all 4 ports for storage... Reply
mcknig.k - Thursday, August 07, 2014 - linkThanks for the feedback guys. I planned to use the Fractal Design Node 304 and Ubuntu for the OS. Would likely only have one 1080p stream running at any one time. Good to know that only the number of SATA ports will be a limiting factor, not necessarily the SATA2 bandwidth; I'll take that into consideration. Could possibly boot from USB, install a SATA pci-e card and then have 6 storage drives. Reply
zodiacsoulmate - Thursday, August 07, 2014 - linki think this is really nice, that 10W baytrail very promising... Reply
wpcoe - Thursday, August 07, 2014 - linkThe ITX board has four USB 3.0 ports, but the uATX only has one? What's up with that? Reply
Rampart19 - Tuesday, August 12, 2014 - linkThe ITX board will more than likely cost a premium over the Micro-ATX board. It would appear that the ITX board is aimed at the HTPC and Media Server enthusiasts while the Micro-ATX board is aimed at the basic desktop "enthusiasts". (Think inexpensive office computer for Word and Outlook.) Reply

Mo'Ne Davis led her team into the Little League World Series on Sunday and made history in the process.
Davis, 13, became the first girl to pitch a complete game shutout in a Little League World Series-clinching contest. The pitcher allowed only three hits and struck out six to lead the Taney Dragons of Philadelphia to an 8-0 victory over a team from Delaware in the six-inning Mid-Atlantic Regional championship game.
She has since become a media sensation, thanks to a fastball that touches 70 miles per hour and a wicked curve that often leaves the competition swinging in vain.
Only 16 girls have played in the Little League World Series in the past 67 years, league spokesman Brian McClintock told The Associated Press.
Davis actually qualified as the 18th, with Emma March of South Vancouver Little League in British Columbia, Canada, qualifying earlier Sunday. Together they make this year only the third time that two girls will be part of the same Little League World Series.
Davis told "The Today Show" on Monday that she initially tried softball when she was younger, but decided to switch to baseball.
While on the show, she also said she plans the Little League World Series to be just the start of her sports legacy.
"I'll probably either be the first female in the MLB or in the NBA," she said.
Davis and the Taney Dragons will open LLWS play at 3 p.m. ET Friday against South Nashville, the Southeast Regional champion, at Howard J. Lamade Stadium in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

The Phoenix-metro-based Women of Scottsdale and Central Phoenix Women groups proudly announce the launch of a third, localized chapter, East Valley Women being added to serve women business professionals who live or work in Tempe, Mesa, Gilbert, and Chandler. East Valley Women will meet on the third Tuesday of every month from 7:30am to 9am at the Hilton Phoenix/Mesa in Mesa, Ariz., beginning on Tax Day, Tuesday, April 15, 2014.
The new East Valley Women group is a sister organization of the esteemed Women of Scottsdale, founded in 1998 and Central Phoenix Women, founded in 2006 by Linda Herold. Herold retired in December 2013, and named JoAnn Holland CEO of the groups. It is under her stewardship that the East Valley Women group has launched. The groups endeavor to support women beginning their professional career, business and professional leaders, women in government, women in education and those who have retired to create a deep and long-lasting community of mutual support.
The group has named community alumna Jodi Towns as the Inaugural Director of the new east valley group and she will serve a two-year term; promoting membership and business sponsorship for the new chapter, as well as acting as Master of Ceremonies at monthly meetings. As the new Inaugural Director, Towns intends to further the spirit of community support with a focus on communities east of Phoenix and Scottsdale. She will continue as the Director of Practice Management for LifeScape Premier, a Scottsdale-based concierge medical practice that has been actively involved in supporting and sponsoring Women of Scottsdale and Central Phoenix Women for several years, and is looking forward to launching the nascent East Valley group.
"I'm honored to uphold and extend the tradition and support that these fine groups provide business women in our communities," says Towns. "With the new group serving the East Valley we'll be able to reach, serve and bring more fantastic women into the fray."
The groups' CEO and founder is equally pleased with the chapter developments. "Jodi has been such a passionate advocate for our existing groups and we're thrilled to have her leading the charge for the East Valley," states JoAnn Holland. "We look forward to continued success under her direction with the new East Valley Women chapter."
For more information about East Valley Women, please like them on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/eastvalleywomen

Load up your console with the latest games for all ages. Mothers need not apply
Assassin's Creed III: Mostly set during the time of the American Revolution, this adventure game has players getting caught up in a centuries-old battle between an order of assassins, who believe in free will, and the Templars, who want to control culture and society. One of the characters played by gamers in Assassin's Creed III is Connor Kenway, a young man with an English father and Mohawk mother. (Ubisoft; $60; rated M)
New Super Mario Bros. U: This game is reason enough to consider getting a new Wii U console for the household. The first Mario game for the Wii U has gamers playing co-operatively, with one player navigating Mario through the platforming levels, and another using the touchscreen on the GamePad tablet controller to attack enemies and place platforms for Mario to step on. Be forewarned that siblings playing together might be inclined to make the experience more competitive than collaborative. (Nintendo; $60; rated E)
Sleeping Dogs: Fuelled by adrenalin and a free-running aesthetic, Sleeping Dogs is the nearest thing to playing in one of John Woo's classic action films. This is an open-world game in which the protagonist, Wei Shen, is a cop undercover as a member of the Triads. He moves through Hong Kong in vehicles or by free-running, completing missions both for the police and for the gangsters. Sleeping Dogs steeps players in an authentic criminal underworld that proves to be a place of moral grey. (Square Enix; $60; rated M)
Sports games in Canada: If it's not hockey, it's soccer, and the sims created in Burnaby, B.C., by EA Sports are getting ever closer to the real thing. NHL 13 (EA Sports; $60; rated E 10+) has improvements to the way players move on the ice. For the first time, two female athletes, Hayley Wickenheiser and Angela Ruggiero, are included as playable characters. FIFA 13 (EA Sports; $60; rated E) includes teams from 30 soccer leagues worldwide, and the players dribble and trap balls with the same kind of finesse as their real-world counterparts.
Skylanders: Giants: The characters for this game actually exist in real life. The toy figures, which join the game when they are placed on the "portal of power" peripheral, are not just cute and collectible. Information about them is stored on the toy itself, including any improvements and enhancements they gain while being used. The toys aren't console specific, so your kids can take their PS3 characters to friends' houses and use them on the Xbox 360. The game itself provides a simple and fun introduction to action platformers for young players learning the ropes. (Activision; $75; rated E 10+)
Nike+ Kinect Training: This fitness video game, developed in conjunction with the athletic shoe and clothing manufacturer, is like having a personal trainer in a box. It will help you come up with a personalized workout plan, and because the software can assess how you're doing and identify where you need to improve, your program evolves over time. Even better, it delivers real-time feedback so you can make sure that your lunge is worthy. (Microsoft; $50; rated E)
Mass Effect Trilogy: Packaged together for the first time, this edition combines all three games in the action role-playing series as well as all the downloadable content released since the series made its debut in 2007. It tells the story of Commander Shepard – players choose whether the protagonist is female or male – on a mission to preserve sentient life in the galaxy from an inevitable and predetermined attack. Decisions made by players are tracked through the three games, and they influence the story being told. (EA; $60; rated M)
Halo 4: The latest game in the storied first-person shooter series is a breathtaking affair. Super soldier Master Chief wakes from stasis and finds himself stranded on a strange planet populated by a race of technologically advanced beings known as the Prometheans. In addition to the exhilarating single-player game, Halo 4 includes both competitive and co-operative multiplayer game modes, and the developers will be releasing free missions for weeks after the game's release. The gamers in your house won't soon tire of Halo 4. (Microsoft Studios; $60; rated M)
Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two: Once again Mickey Mouse comes to the rescue of the residents of the Wasteland, a place for cartoon characters who have been forgotten. But in this game Mickey has help, in the form of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. While Mickey wields a magical paintbrush, with which he can restore objects using paint or remove them using paint thinner, Oswald uses a remote control to defend against enemies and manipulate the environment. (Disney Interactive; $50; rated E)
Dishonored: This first-person action game is set in an amazingly detailed steampunk world modelled after Victorian England. And it's as credible as the infestation of rats spreading plague throughout the fictional city of Dunwall. The protagonist is a man framed for murder. In trying to avenge himself, he can either act stealthily or overtly, and it's up to the player to decide the best course of action. (Bethesda Softworks; $60; rated M.)
Borderlands 2: Raucous, hilarious and fun, this over-the-top action game series is set on a distant and dangerous planet with a Wild West-like frontier. There's a story to be discovered about the struggle between individuals and large corporations, but really the Borderlands games are about killing the bad guys and taking their stuff. Loot, in this game, is the raison d'être. (2K Games; $60; rated M)
Call of Duty: Black Ops II: The latest first-person shooter in the Call of Duty series poses an interesting question: What happens if the computers that control all the military drones are hacked by terrorists? Black Ops II is set during the Cold War of the 1970s as well as a new cold war in 2025. In a first for the franchise, the player's success or failure in certain missions will affect the story being told. (Activision; $60; rated M)

DETROIT - Southeast Michigan has thus far dodged this season's winter storms, but our luck is about to change
Wednesday's storm is just now moving onshore out west.
It really isn't a storm yet...that process will take place in the lee of the Rockies, after which it will dip down toward Texas, pick up some Gulf of Mexico moisture, and then bring that moisture northeast in the form of snow (on the colder northern side of the storm).
Watch: 4Cast for Christmas Eve.
Here's how one computer model is handling it. In this first image below, centered at Noon Wednesday, very light snow is just crossing the Michigan / Ohio state line.
This second image, at 5pm Wednesday, shows steady snow falling over the heart of Metro Detroit, but areas north of I-69 still seeing little or no snow.
This third image, at 10pm Wednesday, shows heavier snow falling across the eastern part of our area, with light to moderate snow elsewhere. You'll also notice those yellowish lines now packed closer together across Michigan. These are pressure lines (called isobars), and the closer they are together, the windier it gets. By this time, we should be seeing 20-30 mph wind, with higher gusts.
This final image, at 4am Thursday, shows the heavier snow well to our east in Ontario, as light snow starts winding down across our area, although it's still windy.
Although forecasting snow amounts this far in advance is risky, if the storm pans out as I see it today, southeast Michigan should see a general 3-6 inch snowfall, with the lesser amounts to the north and west, and the heavier amounts to the south and east.
It's also going to become windy, so blowing and drifting snow will develop, too.
Read: SE Michigan counties appear ready for snowy, icy weather.
Travel conditions will deteriorate steadily Wednesday afternoon into Wednesday night, and remember that the weather is coming this way from the south and southwest, so if you're driving on Wednesday, you'll be driving away from the storm if you head north, and into the weather if you're heading south and southwest. Morning flights should be able to take off and land without any problems, but delays may develop during the afternoon and evening as the snow moves in and intensifies.
This storm is going to hit on a major travel day, so keep JustWeather.com on your desktop and check back often if you have travel plans the day after Christmas.
Check the weather before you travel this holiday and keep an eye on Wednesday's potential for snow at JustWeather.com

A CRACKDOWN on illegal parking in Blackburn town centre has been criticised by business owners.
Police are taking a new approach in Darwen Street after attempts to educate drivers about the restrictions of double yellow lines had failed.
Ten people received parking tickets during the initiative's between 6pm and 1pm on Friday. But business owners said they were losing customers already.
Hamid Kaboodrangi, owner of Number 39 takeaway, said customers needed to be encouraged to come into the town centre and not 'frightened away'.
He said: "We lost customers during the operation. I am going to complain to the council because this kind of thing is going to close down businesses.
"Customers were complaining and it is just not fair."
Happy Haddock manager Mazhar Hussain said: "All of our customers just passed on when they saw the police."
Maz Hussain, manager at Pyramid takeaway, said three customers got £70 fines, which would be halved if paid within 14 days.
He said: "Parking is a big issue. As soon as our customers stopped, they were given a ticket. We need more parking or to be able to stay just for five minutes."
Coun Shahabuddin Solkar, for Shear Brow said he agreed a solution would be to have a single yellow line, whoch would allow shop customers to collect their orders in the evenings He said: "The council should help businesses. If I was going to a takeaway and knew I could not park outside, I would not go.
"The council is trying to encourage people to come into town, but at the same time, people should respect the rules."
Town centre sergeant Nick Everett said 'an educational stance by speaking to vehicle owners' had not worked, promoting the move to 'enforcement'. which would 'continue for as long as necessary to address the issue'.
Coun Maureen Bateson, executive member for regeneration, said drivers should use car parks instead of leaving their vehicles on the double yellows – adding that the council's car parks were free after 3pm.

Update: They do carry plus sizes now. You can find them here.
I've told you all a million times before, one of the reasons I started this blog was to be able to share with you my love for fashion and shopping. And although I love to give you the inside scoop of where to find my favorite plus size fashion pieces, I'm also in love with accessories. I think ModDeals.com knew this when they contacted me.
ModDeals.com's tagline "Cheap Made Chic" is pretty much what this shopping site is about. They are geared towards 18-35 year-olds who love fashion. I think it's also aimed at those who don't like to spend a lot of money on the latest and trendiest clothes, shoes, and accessories. Let me make this clear right up front, they DO NOT offer plus sizes on their site, but that won't matter much when you see the prices on these shoes, bags, jewelry, nail polish, and accessories.

The Associated Press reported earlier today that U.S. District Judge Nancy Gertner ordered the government to pay $101.7 million to four men and their families who spent many years in prison for a 1965 murder that they did not commit.
Government lawyers had argued that the FBI was not liable for the four men's wrongful imprisonment because the agency was not required to share documents and information with state prosecutors or defense lawyers.
"The FBI's misconduct was clearly the sole cause of this conviction," Gertner remarked. "The government's position is, in a word, absurd. She continued, "No lost liberty is dispensable. We have fought wars over this principle. We are still fighting these wars."
Randy Chapman, a former chair of the MBA Criminal Law Section Council and current president of the Massachusetts Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, agreed with Gertner's ruling.
"The original actions of the government which resulted in these wrongful conditions were inexcusable, and offensive to the fundamental principles of our Constitution," said Chapman. "The prosecutorial misconduct was compounded by the complete indifference to the harm caused to these men and their families once the injustice was uncovered."
He continued, "It is incomprehensible that the Justice Department did not make any good faith efforts to resolve this matter through settlement prior to trial. Hopefully, the judgment will be satisfied quickly and not be delayed by meritless appeals, and attempts to minimize the horrific consequences of the government's misdeeds."

A Year of Trash, Trinkets and Tributes at the Ian Curtis Memorial Stone
de Jennifer K. Otter
Acerca del libro
Located just over 15 miles outside of the English hub of Manchester, Macclesfield was the home of the late singer and lyricist Ian Curtis, front man for post-punk pioneers Joy Division. The ashes of Curtis are now buried minutes away from where he lived, at the Macclesfield Cemetery and Crematorium.
Though it has been over 30 years since he took his life, an estimated 2,000 people annually make their way to the small, quaint Northern town, on a quest to pay homage to Curtis. Traveling from as far-flung destinations as Japan, Texas and Australia, fans embark on sonic pilgrimages to walk the streets that inspired Curtis, see the house where he once inhabited- and pay their respects at Curtis's Memorial Stone.
As a part of her PhD research, photographer Jennifer Otter captured images of the fans, flowers and fauna every month over the course of a year at the Curtis 'kerb.' Joy Devotion: A Year of Trash, Trinkets and Tributes at the Ian Curtis Memorial Stone documents the ever-changing homages to the singer and provides unique insight into music, community and memory.
+ Features all new colour map of Macclesfied Cemetary and Crematorium, including path to Ian Curtis Memorial Stone;
+ A year of pictures documenting the trash, trinkets, and tributes left at the Ian Curtis Memorial Stone, including the 30 Year Anniversary of 2010;
+ New essays from Robert Warhurst, employee of Macclesfield Cemetary and Crematorium for over 30 years; Ian Seivwright, devout fan, Lydia Bevan, Hand Drawn maps, and the author.

Greg Rutherford smashed the British long jump record with a leap of 8.51 metres - and then declared he could go even further as he hunts double gold this summer.
The Olympic champion returned to form in emphatic fashion following a miserable 2013 season, adding 16 centimetres to the previous mark of 8.35m he held jointly with Chris Tomlinson.
His leap in Chula Vista, San Diego came in his first outdoor competition of the year, having competed just once indoors, suggesting an exciting summer awaits. It is comfortably the furthest leap in the world this year.
The 27-year-old is out to make up for an injury-plagued campaign last year by winning the Commonwealth and European titles this summer.
Rutherford said he was "absolutely buzzing" after the competition, but now wants to make sure he builds on such a flying start to the season.
"That's the big thing for me - it's all well and good doing it this early in the season, but it's all about jumping further and winning some more titles," he added.
The Milton Keynes athlete failed to make the final of the World Championships in Moscow last summer after rupturing his hamstring in the Diamond League meeting in Paris and finished the season with a best leap of just 8.22m. His form prompted critics to claim his Super Saturday success at London 2012 was lucky.
"It's all about proving it on the track and proving to people that have different views wrong," Rutherford said. "We'll see how the summer goes and hopefully there'll be some bigger distances."
Rutherford is due to compete at the BT Great CityGames in Manchester on May 17 and the Sainsbury's Glasgow Grand Prix at Hampden Park on July 11-12. The Commonwealth Games will take place in Glasgow later that month, with the European Championships to follow in Zurich in August.
"Whenever anybody jumps well, or is doing well, other athletes obviously want to beat you, which is something that I enjoy," Rutherford said. "If my body had been in one piece last year, we could have had a good year.
"I opened well in 2012 and backed it up with a few good performances and a major championships. That will be the aim again this year and replicate it.
"For me it's all about doing it in a big scenario and competition, so for me Glasgow, warming up for the Commonwealth Games, is going to be a good time to do it and hopefully I can get multiple distances out there and re-establish myself as one of the best jumpers in the world."
Rutherford set his 8.35m mark almost two years ago, also in Chula Vista, as he built up to the London Games.
That had equalled Tomlinson's best and Tomlinson paid tribute to his team-mate.
"Wow well done to @GregJRutherford, 8.51! Class jumping," the Middlesbrough athlete said on Twitter.
Tomlinson was unhappy last year that Rutherford was chosen ahead of him for the World Championships, despite the Olympic champion's fitness concerns.

Mr. Money BagsMystery teasers are little stories where you need to figure out what happened based on the given clues.
Thomas P. Stanwick, logician and amateur sleuth had come to Mr. Pennyroll's house. Mr. Pennyroll was explaining how he had been kidnapped by bank robbers when he arrived to open up the bank where he was the assistant manager.
"They forced me to open up the safe and give them the money. Then they made me drive towards my home from the bank. They intended on getting my wife's jewelry too," explained Mr. Pennyroll.
"Tell me how you were able to escape, Mr. Pennyroll," said Mr. Stanwick.
"We were driving towards my house from the bank. One of the kidnappers had dumped the money out of the bank bag into a paper sack. Then he threw the bank bag out of the window. Two blocks later we stopped for a red light. He was looking down at the money, and I saw my chance. I opened my door, jumped out of the car, and ran. I ran up to the nearest house, and they let me in. Luckily, the kidnappers did not follow me. They just drove off."
"Let's follow your route back to the bank and see if we can find any clues," said Mr. Stanwick.
They left the house in Mr. Stanwick's car. Soon Pennyroll shouted, "There it is! There's the money bag!" They stopped and picked up the empty bank bag and continued on towards the bank. In a few minutes they came to a light. "This is where I escaped," said Pennyroll.
After getting back to the bank, Mr. Stanwick said, "I have a problem with your story."
What did he notice?
HintLocation, location, location
AnswerHeading back to the bank, they should not have reached the money bag before they reached the corner where Mr. Pennyroll jumped out of the car as he supposedly did that after they tossed the bag out. If this were true, they would have passed the corner first and then the money bag on the way back to the bank. He must have made up the story about the kidnappers and is really involved in the stolen money.

South African Tourism CMO to retire
'I would like to thank Roshene for her many years of loyal, dedicated service to South African Tourism. During this time she has played an integral role in driving our tourism growth strategy. - Thulani Nzima, SAT CEO.
Roshene Singh, South African Tourism (SAT) Chief Marketing Officer, is retiring and will leave SAT at the end of 2012.
Thulani Nzima, SAT CEO, said Singh wants to take some time off to pursue personal interests.
'I would like to thank her for her many years of loyal, dedicated service to SAT. During this time she has played an integral role in driving our tourism growth strategy and achieving fantastic results in tandem with our country and head office marketing teams,' he said.
Earlier this year Singh was named an 'Internationalist' by the New York-based publication, The Internationalist, for her leadership in global destination marketing work and 'outstanding thinking in brand communications'.
'We will work with Singh on planning her exit strategy from the organisation as well as on a business continuity plan for her to hand over to her successor. We wish her the very best for the future,' concluded Nzima.
Mmatšatši Ramawela, CEO of the Tourism Business Council of South Africa, said Singh's departure from SA Tourism was a major loss to the travel and tourism industry.
'She has played a critical role in profiling South Africa as a destination of choice both locally and internationally. We are sad to hear the news of her departure and wish her much success in her future endeavours,' said Ramawela.

The Epilepsy Foundation would like to thank Lundbeck for their generosity in providing an unrestricted educational grant in support of the Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome section on epilepsy.com.
Page Summary
- Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS) is a type of childhood epilepsy with multiple different types of seizures.
- In about a quarter of children, no cause can be found.
- Accounts for about 2 to 5 percent of childhood epilepsies.
- Usually LGS persists through childhood and adolescence to adult years.
- Intellectual development is usually, but not always, impaired.
- EEG is an essential part of the medical evaluation and brain imaging with MRI can help look for a possible cause.
- While seizures usually don't respond to seizure medications, treatments such as dietary therapies, implanted devices and surgery can offer hope and help for people with LGS.
What is Lennox-Gastaut syndrome?
Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome was first defined by Dr. Henri Gastaut in France in 1966 as a very severe form of childhood epilepsy, with certain common features. Dr. William G. Lennox in Boston described features of the EEG in this condition. The syndrome is named after the work of these two famous neurologists.
This syndrome, also called LGS, has multiple types of seizures, including tonic (stiffening) and atonic (drop) seizures. Other types of generalized seizures are usually seen such as absence, myoclonic, and tonic clonic seizures. Focal or partial seizures may also occur in a person with LGS.
The EEG when a person is awake shows characteristic patterns of background slowing and diffuse spike-wave bursts. The EEG during a seizure can show many different features.
Intellectual development is usually delayed or declines over time and behavioral problems may occur.
The term "epileptic encephalopathy" is used to describe this type of epilepsy. This suggests that the frequent seizures and abnormal EEG activity that is seen between seizures can lead to or be associated with cognitive and behavioral problems.
There are many underlying causes of this condition. In 1 out of 4 children with LGS, no cause can be identified.
Seizures associated with LGS unfortunately do not respond well to seizure medications. Treatments such as dietary therapy or devices may be helpful when used with seizure medications. A type of surgery called corpus callosotomy can help reduce atonic seizures, but is not as helpful for other seizure types seen in LGS. This type of surgery does not cure seizures with LGS.
How common is LGS?
Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS) is a rare form of childhood epilepsy. It accounts for 2 to 5% of all childhood epilepsies, but 10% of children with seizures that begin prior to age 5.
While LGS begins most often between 3 and 5 years old, it's frequently not diagnosed until a child is older. Not all seizure types may be seen in the beginning and it often takes time to see how the child develops and if cognitive or behavioral problems seen in LGS occur.
This condition is a chronic illness, meaning that there is no cure and seizures and associated problems continue through adulthood. The long-term prognosis varies, yet overall it's felt to be unfavorable. Psychosocial needs of patients and families are important to address. Safety and educational resources are key to helping people with LGS. Research and new therapies aims to improve the outlook and quality of life for people with LGS.

I am officially ill. Of all things to use sex to sell, raising awareness about breast cancer in this way is completely off the radar on the disgusting level. Gee save the boobies, remember how nice they are to suckle. This fails on an epic level. How about donating to cancer research because it is a terrible disease that many have lost their lives to? Naaah to much work, it is much easier to reduce women to their breasts and scare men into thinking that they might loose their favourite play things. This doesn't make me want to buy water, it makes me want to run holding on to my generous double D's screaming mine, mine, mine. I've got a mouthful for them, but unfortunately it is all filled with bile.

Calendar CubesLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
My grandmother has a pair of calendar cubes; each cube has six digits on it, one on each face.
Every morning, she re-arranges them to show the day of the month as a two-digit number (01 to 31).
Even though some numbers appear on both cubes, you can easily tell them apart because one cube is ivory and the other is brown.
I noticed that it was possible to use the ivory cube in the tens place and the brown cube in the ones place for SEVEN days in a row (within one month)!
Can you figure out what digits are on each cube?
HintBoth cubes need a 1 (to form 11) and a 2 (to form 22).
The 0 must be paired with every other digit, so it must be on both cubes too.
This leaves six spaces (three on each die) to fit seven digits (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9).
One digit can be re-used in an interesting way!
AnswerThe ivory cube has 012345; the brown cube has 012678.
The 6 on the brown cube is also a 9, just turn it upside-down!
There are two times each month where it is possible to keep the ivory cube in the tens place for seven days in a row:
06 07 08 09 10 11 12 and 16 17 18 19 20 21 22.

TICKETS for AFC Bournemouth's FA Cup clash with Liverpool have now sold out.
The club said this morning that the final batch of tickets - 180 unclaimed season ticket seats - were sold in 15 minutes over the phone and internet.
AFC Bournemouth fans queued through the night to get tickets yesterday – but many were left disappointed.
Those hunting for tickets began waiting at the Goldsands Stadium and at the Bournemouth International Centre on Friday evening in a bid to secure a seat for the dream clash.
But thousands were left disappointed when they were turned away.
It is thought that 500 tickets were available at the stadium and 750 at the BIC. The final few tickets not claimed by season ticket holders went on sale at 9am today and are now gone.
Throughout, there were reports of the club's website crashing and phone lines being jammed.
At the BIC, where the queue snaked around the multi-storey car park, some fans were left angry as they accused the club of moving the goalposts on eligibility.
They said they were told that a ticket for yesterday's Championship game with Watford would qualify them for a Liverpool ticket, only to be told at the booth that was no longer the case.
Fuming Barry Clark, from Bournemouth, told the Daily Echo: "We went to the Burton game and I rang up and asked if I bought tickets for the Watford game would that qualify us for the database and we were told it would.
"I've been here since 4am and we got there and flatly refused because they changed the rules yesterday.
"Now they've offered us a refund on the Watford ticket."
Kyle Seager, from Poole, was second in line with his friends, having queued all night.
But he was refused tickets and said: "I have a ticket for the Watford game and I went to the Brighton and Hove Albion game."
However, many were left holding the prized tickets and departed happy.
Jay Carter, 10, from Iford, queued with his mum Zoe and brother Leo.
Jay said: "I'm really excited to see Liverpool. I think the game is going to be 1-1."
Andy Saul, from Canford Heath, was first in the queue.
Before the barriers were opened, he said: "I've been here since 8.30pm last night.
"I wanted to get certain seats. I was sheltered, so it was alright. I went to Dean Court first and there was about 30 setting up tents.
"The person in the officer said the BIC was better because I wanted to get in the North Stand."
Although Andy got a ticket for his son, it ended up being in the East Stand, he said afterwards.
At Dean Court, thousands were turned away after waiting for hours in the cold.
Adrian Winwood, 54, and son Daniel, 18, were first in the queue.
They had pitched their tent at 7pm yesterday night.
Daniel said: "It's been quite a good laugh.
"It'll be worth it to make sure we get tickets."
Andy Lord, 47, and Chris Gibbs, 27, met in the queue after arriving at 9pm.
Andy, of New Milton, said: "I'm coming back this afternoon for the match, but I really need to sleep at some point."
Kylie Stokoe, seven, sat in the queue with parents Clair and Wayne Persence, but the family were disappointed after being turned away.
Wayne said: "It's really frustrating.
"I'm gutted about it. We've been here since 7am, it's gone 9am now and we've only just been told."
Lorraine Ballantine, of Westbourne, added: "I've been here since 6am.
"We've just been told there's no way we're going to get tickets. It's absolutely ridiculous and it's been so badly managed."
Dennis Medlycott, 73, from Verwood, tried to get tickets on the phone.
He said: "I'm disabled with a large electric wheelchair and so I had to wait on the phones, as I
don't have a computer, rather than queue at Dean Court.
He added: "I rang at about quarter-to-nine and then again at 8.55am and both times, it said that the lines were not open yet.
"I called again at 9am, where I was put on hold, and then when someone answered the phone at 9.06am, they said that all their allocation had gone, and they put the phone down on me.
"I am very concerned as to how this system is working. I don't see how anyone could have got ahead of me when I called at 9am and yet six minutes later all the tickets had gone.
"I had already bought tickets for the Burton game, before it was announced that the Cherries were playing Liverpool, but I see that that counts for nothing."
A club spokesperson said: "It's unfortunate, but we went on Twitter at 8am today to tell fans not to bother turning up as there were so many people waiting.
"We have tried to be as fair as possible about this - sadly, there were always going to be people left disappointed."
After the website crashed, stadium manager Liz Finney confirmed that tickets had been withdrawn from the internet to sell at Dean Court.
She said: "We are a bit overwhelmed here this morning by the response.
"There are more people here then we were expecting. There are only so many tickets and that means there is an extremely limited availability."
On the website on Friday it said: "Non-season ticket holders must have a league ticket booking history to purchase tickets for this game. Purchases will be checked retrospectively to ensure this criteria is met."

Want strong hands?
...Like scary strong?
So strong your hands become like lethal weapons?
Yeah, we though so
Get this video if you want that kind of hand strength.
Rock Climbers need strong hands, their lives literally depend on it. Though this video is aimed at rockclimbers, everyone, from weightlifters to football players can take these concepts and start doing them right away. This video includes excellent discussions on training each finger separately and multiple fingers for endurance, explosiveness, and increased strength.
The video itself is excellent but the real value of this item comes with the booklet on hand strength and climbing periodization that is included.
The enclosed booklet is one of the most valuable pieces of training literature we have ever come across and it is well worth the price by itself.
Booklet & DVD Video, approximately 1 hour 20 minutes.

Chamomile Vinaigrette
1 tsp (rounded) Fair Trade Certified Egyptian Chamomile Leaves
1/4 Cup White Wine Vinegar
1 Tbsp Fair Trade Certified Organic Honey
1/2 tsp Chopped Thyme
1/2 tsp Minced Shallots
Salt & Pepper
1/2 Cup Olive Oil
- Place tea and vinegar in a small sauce pan and bring to a boil. The leaves will infuse the vinegar with their flavor.
- Let simmer 1 minute and remove from heat.
- Strain liquor; make sure to press the leaves to remove and remaining liquid.
- Combine Tea-infused Vinegar, Honey, Thyme, Shallots, Salt and Pepper.
- Slowly add Olive Oil while whisking to keep emulsification from separating.
- Splash on a salad and enjoy! I'd recommend something with baby greens and lots of tomatoes – quick before these end-of-season tomatoes are all gone!

Caesar Salad: The Truth Behind the Calories; The Recipe for a Better Dressingby Robin Miller in Uncategorized, March 27, 2012
History says that Caesar Cardini, of Tijuana, Mexico, invented the Caesar Salad in 1924. At the time, the dish was eaten with fingers – whole leaves of Romaine lettuce were dipped in Caesar dressing. Now I'll tell you why I mentioned that. I recently went to the movies with my kids – one of those new theaters where you order food from your seat. We got the Caesar salad and it was served the same way – dressing in a bowl, whole leaves on the side for dunking (this was perfect for simultaneous movie-viewing and noshing). The salad was terrific, but as a nutritionist, I know how fattening Caesar dressing can be. I decided to run some numbers. Are you sitting down? A traditional Caesar salad has 470 calories, 40 grams of fat (9 grams of which are saturated) and 1070 milligrams of sodium. Even the "side salad" boasts 362 calories, 26 grams of fat, 7 grams of saturated fat and 913 milligrams of sodium. You're almost better off with buttered popcorn and chocolate. Since most of the fat comes from oil and cheese, it's really easy to create a fabulous Caesar dressing by swapping a few ingredients. In my dressing, I replace most of the oil with good chicken broth, I swap Worcestershire sauce for the anchovies and I use Dijon mustard for flavor and its ability to emulsify everything. When serving the dressing, use whole or chopped leaves and feel free to top the salad with croutons and grilled chicken or shrimp to make it a complete meal.
Caesar Salad Dressing
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Whisk together all ingredients. Serve over mixed greens, chopped Romaine lettuce or with whole Romaine lettuce leaves.

Live Results | Meet Information
PHILADELPHIA - For the second time this season, the University of Pennsylvania women's track and field team will head to Rauch Fieldhouse in Bethlehem, Pa., for an invitational at Lehigh on Saturday.
The meet will start at 10 a.m. when several field events get underway. The first event on the track is the 5,000 meters at 11 a.m. The meet is set to conclude with the 4x400-meter relay at 4:15 p.m.
The Quakers opened the 2012-13 campaign at Rauch Fieldhouse in December where they posted six victories, highlighted by the fourth-best shot put in school history from Theresa Picciallo in her collegiate debut. Picciallo and senior Charlotte Pope claimed the top two spots in the shot put. In her first meet as a collegian, Picciallo earned the victory with a toss of 13.75 meters (45 feet, 1 1/2 inches). Sophomore Annie Holland won the high jump, senior Jillian Hart won the pole vault and freshman Eliana Yankelev was tops in the long jump. Junior Gabrielle Piper won the 60-meter hurdles and was the runner-up in the 60 meters, while sophomore Shakele Seaton posted her first collegiate victory in the 500 meters.
Last week, Picciallo topped that effort with the school record in the shot put to lead Penn to a second-place team finish at College Night at the Armory in New York City. It landed at 14.11 meters (46 feet, 3 1/2 inches) to break a 15-year-old Penn record. In addition to Picciallo, the 4x800-meter relay team and freshman Elyssa Gensib also posted victories for the Quakers.
A full recap will be available at PennAthletics.com shortly after the conclusion of the meet.

Modern Drummer Festival '08
a couple of days ago i returned from the modern drummer festival in new york. it was held at a very lovely new venue called "the performing arts center". this festival is said to be the most prestigous drum event worldwide. so far this has been the fifth (i think) modern drummer festival i attended. the vibe was very relaxed and the production ran smoothly. all industry veterans hung out at the festival too. a lot of inspirational discussions happen there during the festival and afterwards at the hotel bar. big business!
for any drummer it probably is the biggest honour to be invited to play this festival. it is like being accoladed. derek roddy played there for us this year. with that in mind, they try to give their absolutely very best which for the audience means they get to see the world's best drummers playing at their absolute peak. it's amazing and yes, it is the most prestigious and probably the best drum festival in the whole world.
check out some of the pictures i took.
thomas lang has been here at our office since last tuesday. it's always good having him around. tonight at 8pm he is going to be playing a clinic at musik-klier in nurenberg. so if you are around, make sure to stop by.

When it came to STDs, (insert sixth grade level laugh here), Zach and I didn't feel the need to be fancy. While I certainly appreciate the beautiful, ornate paper STDs and invites out there, they just didn't strike me as a must-have item. Plus, we loved the idea of going paperless! Sending the majority of our STDs and invites via email will save trees and save us money! Some may still think it's iffy, from an etiquette point of view, but as you've probably realized by now, we don't really bow to tradition very much.
To make our STD, all I did was use GIMP photo editing software (Photoshop's free, downloadable twin) to add text to a cool picture of us taken at the Uyuni Salt Flat in Bolivia. I downloaded the awesome fonts for free too! (Check out dafont.com for free fabulous fonts!) I'm no photo-editing wizard, but I think they turned out pretty well for the amazingly low price tag of $0!
To send these out, we just attached the photo to an email titled "Save the Date!" and then wrote a short personal note to the invitee in the body of each email. I think it added a nice intimate touch!
Did anyone else send out e-STDs or e-vites? Would you like receiving an e-vite for a wedding, or would you think it was tacky?

text: Decades-old toxic gas threat lifts from Institute By Vicki Smith March 18, 2011 Story Share INSTITUTE, W.Va. (AP) - For the first time in 26 years, Barbara Oden can let go of the image that has haunted her - poisonous gas leaking from a Union Carbide tank and killing thousands of people in Bhopal, India, in the world's deadliest industrial disaster.On Friday, she and other residents of a tiny West Virginia town won what had seemed like a never-ending battle to get the same toxic chemical, methyl isocyanate, out of their back yard.In a surprise move in U.S. District Court in Charleston, attorneys for Bayer CropScience announced they were dropping plans to resume production of the chemical, commonly called MIC, and would begin dismantling the unit.That ends the key part of the latest lawsuit in a nearly three-decade battle. Claims for property damages and medical monitoring remain, and Judge Joseph Goodwin has scheduled a hearing Monday on the remaining issues.But Bayer's decision erases a threat that loomed over the people of Institute for a generation.The company will no doubt replace MIC, which is used to make a pesticide, with some other chemical, but nothing could be as bad, said Oden, a retired biology professor at West Virginia State University who still lives next to the plant."Chemicals don't have to kill," she said.Oden was shocked by Bayer's announcement, but even before it came she had been hoping that for once, a judge would side with the plant's neighbors."There were so many questions that weren't answered," she said. "And I know there's no such thing as foolproof, because look at the situation in Japan. There's no safe, foolproof ways for doing most of what we do."Even as some residents celebrated, though, others bemoaned the loss of 220 jobs associated with the MIC unit."We knew those jobs were gone. Now they're going to be gone faster than we'd expected," said former Nitro City Councilwoman Brenda Tyler, a retired chemical worker's wife who organized a vehicle parade to the state Capitol last week in support of Bayer.As many as 1,000 jobs across West Virginia could be lost, she said, citing industry claims that every chemical plant job supports five others. "It's not a celebration," she said. "It's a terrible day for the state of West Virginia."The odds of victory had long been stacked against Institute, a modest, unincorporated and mostly black community of 1,500 that grew up around the college. But lately, things had begun to change.A 2008 accident that killed two workers and sent projectiles dangerously close to an aboveground MIC storage tank brought new scrutiny from Congress and the U.S. Chemical Safety Board. The explosion also showed larger, more affluent communities in the Kanawha Valley that they too could be in danger - towns that the folks in Institute can't help but notice are whiter. In all, some 300,000 people live in the 25-mile MIC "vulnerability zone," which includes the state capital.MIC is a colorless chemical used to make pesticides, polyurethane foam and plastics. It attacks the respiratory system, and at low levels, can irritate the eyes and throat. High concentrations can cause serious lung damage, hemorrhaging and death.Several companies manufacture it, but the Institute plant was the last in the nation to store it in large quantities. Bayer has said it spent $36 million to improve safety and upgrade equipment after the 2008 accident, and that it eliminated all aboveground MIC storage. It had planned to reduce future stockpiles by 80 percent, but company spokesman Tom Dover said Friday there has been no supply onsite since August, when the overhaul of that unit began.Bayer had planned to phase out MIC production next year as part of a corporate restructuring after meeting the demands of growers this season. On Friday, however, it said "uncertainty over delays" made it unlikely it could resume production in time.For many Americans, Bhopal is a faded memory. The disaster killed about 15,000 people and sickened half a million. The victims clawed at their throats, frothed at the mouth, bled from their eyes and choked on their own vomit. For Institute, it has been impossible to forget.The sprawling, 460-acre Institute chemical complex is the first thing residents see when they turn off Interstate 64. From their modest homes, the view of the plant is blocked only by the taller buildings of the college.Less than two years after Bhopal, Congress passed the federal Right-to-Know Act, to help the thousands of people around the country who live in the shadow of industry know what chemicals are made and stored in their neighborhoods. But that openness began to diminish after the terrorist attacks of 2001. Chemical plants became viewed as potential targets. Reports on the toxic inventory of industries were no longer as readily available to the public."It made us less safe," says Pam Nixon, environmental advocate with the state Department of Environmental Protection.Bayer was widely criticized for failing to communicate details of the 2008 explosion to emergency responders and the 40,000 people ordered to stay indoors - a secrecy its chief executive later testified was intended solely to prevent debate over MIC."Ten years later, they're still in that 9/11 mindset," Nixon says, "trying to keep it secret."Institute residents say money, power, race and the influence of the chemical companies all help explain why the fight over MIC lasted so long. The community has no government, no official leaders and no political champion.For decades, the chemical industry provided thousands of good-paying jobs. Regardless of who owned the Institute complex - first Union Carbide, then Rhone-Poulenc, then Aventis, now Bayer CropScience - managers and employees were involved in their communities. They wielded influence and social connections the people of Institute couldn't match.There were protests against MIC, but the companies could muster larger rallies in less time. Just as miners are quick to fight for their employers in the coalfields, employees eager to keep their jobs were quick to defend the chemical plants.But all along, Institute folks say, race was among the factors working against the community."There certainly was a perception that because it was a poor black neighborhood, no one cared," says Gerry Beller, a longtime activist and political science professor at West Virginia State.Bayer denies any racial link. The company has operations in more than 120 countries and is "committed to the communities where we work and live," Dover says.Nixon can't help but wonder.The former West Dunbar resident was injured in August 1985 when a leak of aldicarb oxime and methylene chloride from the plant sent 135 people to hospitals. Other communities, she says, have had far more success fighting industry.Take, for example, lawsuits against DuPont in the Parkersburg area over a chemical used to make Teflon. Plaintiffs there have won court orders for scientific health studies and more."Then you look at the demographics," Nixon says. "Race is part of it."

An unmarked Abbotsford Police vehicle (left) and a marked car were among those at the site of an apparent assault on Tuesday morning.
Abbotsford Police were on the scene of an incident at a downtown business complex on Tuesday morning.
Reports indicate that an apparent assault occurred in the complex in the 33500 block of South Fraser Way that houses the Fraser Ridge apartment complex, a dollar store, a real estate office, Sprott Shaw College and other businesses.
Abbotsford Police were not providing any details on the incident on Tuesday, saying it was still in the early stages of the investigation.
The complex is located at the busy Five Corners, where South Fraser Way, McCallum Road and Essendene Avenue intersect.

Top 10 Most Gorgeous Spring Trends
Spring is full of romantic, fun and sexy trends. In fact, there's probably a trend to fit your mood right this minute.
-PJ Gach
|This post is brought to you by Nordstrom Rack. Prep for spring and find the hottest trends up to 70% off every day!
Burn your coats! Bury your sweaters! Torch your boots! Um, okay, I'm exaggerating a bit here, but it is time to finally pack away your bulky, annoying and by now hateful winter togs and bloom fashionably with spring's beautiful trends.
Before you hit the shops, take a look at our roundup of this Spring's BEST fun and sexy trends.
1. Pastels
You may not have worn pastels since you were a little kid, or you may have never worn them at all, but take a look at this season's offerings. Pastels are showing up in everything from jeans to moto jackets, and you'll look good enough to eat.
2. Tangerine Tango
Tangerine Tango, according to the color expert Pantone, is the hot color for spring. You can call it Tangerine, Tango, orange, hot coral, but either way, it's a bouncy, cheerful color for spring and summer and looksgood on everyone. Swoon!
3. Florals
Florals this season aren't like the scary prints you've seen in John Hughes '80s movies. They can be bold, pastel or tiny, but they're not twee or (pardon the pun) wallflowerish. I mean, do Thandie Newton, Jayma Mays or Taylor Swift look like they're gonna fade away in their floral gear?
Read The Curvy Girl's Guide to Spring's Best Trends
4. Mad Men Redux
Ah the return of lady-like styling. We saw this trend start about a season after Mad Men became uber popular. With Banana Republic creating more than one collaboration with Mad Men stylist Janie Bryant, it's clear that this retro chic look will be here for another season. Vintage enthusiasts will be checking out thrift stores and their fave online and offline vintage shops to score pieces from the era. The rest of us will hit the stores for smart, ladylike togs that whisper just the right hint of naughty secretary.
5. Exposed Midriff
The tummy's showing again this spring. This trend was seen on runways including Band of Outsiders, the venerable Bill Blass, Preen, Miu Miu and more. On the red carpet, we've seen Scarlett Johansson wearing Dolce & Gabbana for the We Bought a Zoo premiere and Rooney Mara wearing Miu Miu at the Berlin premiere of Girl With A Dragon Tattoo. Get your fake-bake out and start doing some crunches!
Neon, flappers, nautical and more trends are up next!

Hey there, time traveller!

ANDREW LADD'S extensive bio already included nuggets like two-time Stanley Cup champion, 2005 World Junior Dream Team member and captain of the Winnipeg Jets.
And now a new addition, literally and figuratively: proud papa.
Ladd and his wife, Brandy, became parents for the first time on Wednesday with the arrival of their son, Locklan Joseph. Ladd missed practice on Wednesday to be in the delivery room with his wife but was back in full gear a day later.
"It was an amazing experience. I was there through the whole thing," said Ladd. "Anyone's that had a chance to witness their child being born, it's unlike anything else. I can't really put it into words."
Locklan, which is also Andrew's middle name, came into this world a bit earlier than predicted, but his timing couldn't have been better.
"It's nice because starting Saturday (with the opening of the NHL season) we were going to be busy and unable to predict where I was going to be," said Ladd. "The first time I left him (for practice) it was not a good feeling. It's not something I want to get used to, but it's something I guess I'll have to deal with.
"It's the first grandchild on both sides so I'm sure he'll be spoiled."
Asked if he'll have to score a goal in Saturday's home opener against the Ottawa Senators to commemorate the arrival of his first-born, Ladd grinned.
"Yeah, I think so," he said. "I'm going to have to come up with a good effort with the family coming into town to see him. It's an exciting time and something I'll never forget."
