Yelm Creek: The Disappearing Stream
As a tributary to the Nisqually River, Yelm Creek is a small, generally low gradient creek that flows nine miles, from its spring-fed source directly south of Yelm, to its confluence with the Nisqually River. A modest stream, about a foot wide near its beginning in rural farm and pasture land, then flows through the more urban area of town where it disappears during much of the year, lost to a low groundwater table and other factors. Eventually, it emerges again - above ground – where closer to the river it becomes a robust, bountiful stream flowing over boulders, cobbles and gravels, supporting a healthy run of late run winter chum salmon in its final half mile.
Yelm Creek was part of the traditional territory of the Nisqually Indian Tribe. Yelm is a Native American name translated to loosely mean "shimmering heat waves". Parts of the Yelm Creek watershed were utilized extensively by the Nisqually people for foraging. The central run of Yelm Creek was formerly a prairie habitat, similar to the vestigial prairies still extant on parts of Ft. Lewis. Here, deer and other large game were hunted and snared. Camas grew abundantly in this habitat and was an important starch staple. Camas bulbs were harvested in spring and early summer and steam-baked in pits before drying during winter. Other commodities harvested in the Yelm prairie area included a variety of berries and acorns from native Garry oak. The value of the prairie habitat was such that it was maintained by a practice of occasional burning in order to favor native oaks, keep invasive fir trees from colonizing and to maintain prairie grazing habitat for deer and elk.
The Yelm Creek area also played an important role in early territorial history. During a period of peculiar political limbo in the 1800's, when this area was disputed by both the British and their proxy- Hudson's Bay Company - and the United States, early pioneer families traveling the Oregon Trail began to arrive in South Sound, finding Oregon's Willamette area already overcrowded. In 1845, James Longmire, as part of the first wagon train party to cross to turn north at Walla Walla, traveling up the Yakima River and crossing the Naches River, was the first Euro-American to settle in the Yelm Creek watershed. In his memoir, Longmire explained his decision to homestead on the Yelm Prairie area in a most bucolic way;
"Having received due notice from the Hudson Bay company not to settle on any lands north of the Nisqually River, we crossed the river and went to Yelm prairie, a beautiful spot. I thought as it lay before us covered with tall waving grass, a pretty stream bordered with shrubs and tall trees, flowing through it, and the majestic mountain standing guard over all, in its snowy coat, it was a scene fit for an artist. Herds of deer wandered at leisure through the tall grass."
Several decades later, an intrepid homesteader named J.C. Conine chose land just beyond the southeastern border of the Yelm prairie area that included a large wooded wetlands complex in the upper Yelm Creek area. Conine described a habitat rife with beaver, elk and deer. He described a beaver dam on Yelm Creek to be, "…eight hundred feet long and taller than a man standing" and was responsible for the creation of much of this wetland…"it took six long years to dismantle the beaver dam."
To Conine and others, the dam was an impediment to raising livestock such as sheep, cattle and hogs. While beaver dams and the off-channel ponds they create provided ideal coho salmon habitat, storing winter rainfall during dry summer months, Conine and other settlers of the time did not fully understand the value of the beaver dam in creating habitat for healthy salmon runs, especially when salmon were so bountiful.
Yelm Creek's once rich salmon runs, which historically included steelhead, Chinook, coho and pink salmon, as well as cutthroat trout, saw diminishing returns as the land was altered. Nevertheless, salmon continued to make their way up from lower Yelm Creek and into the prairie reach of the stream until the early 1960's. According to popular recollection, the odor of decomposing, spawned-out salmon would waft right through downtown Yelm!
Today, the lower half mile of Yelm Creek, still flowing abundantly year round, is essential habitat for a variety of salmon, especially for Nisqually winter chum, a genetically distinct run of chum that is the very last run of salmon that returns to the South Sound, beginning in December and lasting into January.
Thurston County has several water quality monitoring stations on Yelm Creek. Stream Team volunteers monitor two sites for benthic macroinvertebrates (primarily aquatic insects), which are good indicators of the health of the stream: one site is in the upper reach near Morris Rd. where the creek is very small but with a nice riparian zone. The other monitoring site is just above the creek's confluence with the Nisqually River.
This lower reach supports multiple species of salmon where females dig redds and lay their eggs in cool, tree-shaded beds of gravel. The BIBI (Benthic Index of Biological Integrity) score for the upper site was in the lower range of moderate biological integrity in both 2009 and 2010. Not surprisingly, the lower Yelm Creek site has consistently been the highest scoring site that Stream Team monitors, anywhere throughout the entire county!

They can simply provide food for daily lunch/dinner, office lunch, or to some special high profile events which worth millions. Popular events like weddings never have any low seasons and the catering is one of the main companies that play a very important role which will dictate successful or disaster.
When we talk about wedding party here in Jakarta and many big cities in Indonesia, if you never have experience about it, let me help you to imagine; about 500 to 3000 people with different appetites need to eat and this number of invitees will require large size of reception building.
Last week, I had an opportunity to shoot pictures of dishes made by Sonokembang Catering for their new catalog, and met the owners of this one of the largest catering companies in the country. I realized that I'm very interested to know about the 'food company' business; how they started, run and grow the business. Most of the time, I was amazed about everything new that I heard, I saw and I smell.
The first time I arrived at their 'factory', parked my car...and wooow I have never imagined before that it'd be a huge building with many kitchens in it. I'm telling you, the most exciting parts are while we were working together (me, the owners & the cooks), styling the dishes before taking the pictures, and enjoying the food after and during the photo session... :) I'm serious... the food is so good.
In one full day, I was surrounded by those delicious edible food. What a very fun & joyful job I have!
I'm so happy to have another exciting experience, working with many talented people; who are very experienced about food; cooking, styling the food and run the business.
For ending this beautiful February, I would share the recipe of one of the most wanted food that my children like to enjoy while they accompanied us to a wedding reception.
It's Poffertjes!
Poffertjes are a traditional Dutch batter treat. Resembling small, fluffy pancakes, they are made with yeast and buckwheat flour. Unlike American pancakes, they have a light, spongy texture. Typically, poffertjes are served with powdered sugar and butter, and sometimes syrup.(wikipedia)
Today I made them again for my children afternoon snack, and I have decided to post this recipe here.
Have a good night, and let's welcoming another beautiful month,... March.

The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) has launched investigations concerning the probable economic effect of accelerating the reduction or elimination of certain U.S. duties under the U.S.-Singapore Free Trade Agreement (USSFTA) as well as a rules of origin change for certain articles.
The investigations, U.S.-Singapore FTA: Probable Economic Effect of Accelerated Tariff Elimination and Modification of Rules of Origin, were requested by the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) in a letter received on October 27, 2006.
According to the request letter, the United States and Singapore have agreed to enter into consultations to consider accelerating the reduction or elimination of tariffs (including an increase in the quota level of certain tariff rate quotas) and a rules of origin change for certain articles. Sections of the USSFTA authorize such accelerations, and the President is authorized to proclaim modifications in duty treament and rules of origin changes subject to certain requirements, including that the President obtain advice regarding the proposed action from the ITC.
As requested, the ITC, an independent, nonpartisan, factfinding federal agency, will provide advice, with respect to specified articles, on the probable effect of accelerating the reduction or elimination of the U.S. tariff under the USSFTA on domestic industries producing like or competitive articles and on consumers of the affected goods. The articles include preparations for infant use, put up for retail sale (HS 1901.10); peanuts in snack products (HS 2008.11); and polycarbonates (HS 3907.40.00). The ITC's advice will be based on 2006 HTS nomenclature and 2005 trade data.
In addition, the ITC will provide advice on the probable effect of modifying the USSFTA rules of origin for photocopiers (HS 9009.12.00) on U.S. trade under the USSFTA, on total U.S. trade, and on domestic industries.
The ITC expects to submit its confidential advice to the USTR by February 5, 2007.
The ITC will not hold a hearing in connection with this investigation, but it welcomes written submissions for the record from all interested parties and requests that the information focus on the articles for which the ITC is requested to provide information and advice. Written submissions should be addressed to the Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E Street SW, Washington, DC 20436, and should be submitted at the earliest practical date but no later than 5:15 p.m. on December 21, 2006.
Further information on the scope of the investigation and the procedures for written submissions is available in the ITC's notice of investigation, dated November 30, 2006, which can be obtained from the ITC Internet site (www.usitc.gov) or by contacting the Secretary at the above address.

When the sun comes out between the passing, fast moving clouds, the world seems to be illuminated with an ethereal shade of pale green, from the bark on trees and branches to the tiny leaves appearing in the hedgerows. Slowly we are making our way into a new lighter, brighter season.
Easter is just around the corner and one way to celebrate is by giving a garden gift from our selection of wind sculptures, glass rainbow bubbles, garden ornaments, wind chimes, and wind spinners.
We have just added a whole new product line which we are really pleased with called the Stone Garden. In this category you will find the most delightful animals and critters that will look at home anywhere in the home or garden. Granite looking resin and hand painted features give each animal a handsome, polished finish and their own special character.
Choosing a Moon Gazing Hare, or the Family of Ducks would be a lovely choice for an Easter garden gift, and once you have got part of the collection, you may soon want to collect the rest of the family!
We will be appearing in the next month on QVC with other new products, our new Wind Dancers -the Spiral Marble Nova, the Windchime Nova, as well as favourites like the Gyroscope Staked Nova, and the Shimmering Ribbons of Steel. Please keep on eye on Richard Jackson's Gardening Hour which is featured every Saturday morning at 9 am.
Enjoy the coming weekend of bursting buds, and bumble bees (I just had a HUGE one come visit me, what a challenge getting him out of my front door!)

COP15 on YouTube
COP15 on YouTube
This December in Copenhagen, Denmark, the United Nations Climate Change Conference 2009 (also known as COP15) will take place. Delegates to the conference are set to negotiate the successor to the Kyoto Protocol.
The Danish government's ambition for COP15 is to enter into a binding global climate agreement to reduce the amount of man-made greenhouse gases which have a negative effect on the earth's climate system.
To mitigate the effects of climate change, it is the Danish government's view that we all must act and do our part. Here on YouTube, we invite you to "Raise your voice", and we will make it heard inside the conference meeting rooms where leaders of the world are gathered at COP15.
The "Raise your voice" channel is part of a collaboration between the Government of Denmark and Google/YouTube to focus on increasing awareness of climate change.

In any size RV a slide out can make the biggest difference. Although slides must stay shut while driving, when the RV is parked and level slides can add extra feet to various living quarters in the RV. At times the slides can break, but any do-it-yourselfer can often fix the problem. Before sending your RV in for expensive repair, troubleshoot these problems first.
Replace the control switch and check for 12-volt power if the pump doesn't work when the button is pushed. Check for power at the switch. If there is no power you need to replace the key switch.
Check the retract valve if the pump runs but the slide doesn't move. The retract valve is located near the bottom along the slider mechanism. If it is broken it will appear broken in half or worn to the point that it does not seal. To replace you must unscrew the valve and screw in a new one.
Check if the solenoid valve opens if the pump runs but the room fails to open. If the valve does not open it may need to be cleaned or replaced.
Extend the retract valve to see if it is bad if the pump runs but the room will not retract. Also check the wiring; if the wire or valve is bad, the piece must be replaced.
Check the control box to see if it is functioning if the pump runs but the room fails to open. If it is not the control box, retract the solenoid valve to see if it is functioning properly. Make sure the T-handle is closed on the solenoid valve. If either the control box or solenoid valve has no power, it must be replaced.
Check the solenoid valve or manifold check valve if the room creeps out after being retracted. If these parts are not functioning properly or leaking they must be taken out and replaced.
Check if the RV is leaking oil or if the solenoid valve is bad if the room creeps in after being extended.
Adjust the room stops if the room doesn't seal tightly when fully extended or retracted. This is done by tightening the screws or bolts (depending how it is attached). Doing so will raise the stops and make the room seal tightly.
Check the rack sensing valve if one side of the room will not move while trying to extend or retract the room.
Items you will need
- Screwdrivers
- Voltmeter
- Socket wrenches
- If the room moves from side to side there are some structural problems that will need to be repaired by a professional.
- If the ends of the room do not move at an equal distance the sensing rack valve is bad.

Update: Chef Billy Quetel has left Circa 1922 since this post was written.
A new chef is by the stove at downtown's Circa 1922, 8 N. Front St.
With chef Kyle Lee McKnight's departure this month, Billy Quetel, formerly of Siena Trattoria, 3315 Masonboro Loop Road, has taken the helm.
McKnight, well-known for bringing urbane specials; sustainable meats; local, organic produce — some from his own farm; and his top-notch chartcuterie to Circa during his two years at the tapas restaurant, is exploring options in the Cape Fear region and beyond.
"I think every chef's ultimate goal is to have their own restaurant," McKnight said. "For me, it's just to learn as much and teach as much as I possibly can and broaden my repertoire."
"I'd like to hone my pasta-making skills. I want to continue learning more and more about charcuterie and getting better at that."
McKnight's mark will remain on Circa as Quetel continues to source local vegetables, but how the specials menu might evolve has yet to be determined, Quetel said.
Quetel's wife's work brought the chef, 49, to Wilmington five years ago. He spent two years at Siena, one as sous chef, one as chef. Prior to that, he worked in California and in the mid-1990s co-owned a restaurant in the Atlantic Highlands area of New Jersey, where Quetel said he offered changing menus featuring local foods.
Sample Quetel's cooking New Year's Eve when Circa 1922 offers a three-course, $42 menu. The deal includes an appetizer, a salad and an entrée.
Among entrees Quetel plans are pork tenderloin with celery root puree, Brussels sprouts and apple jus and seared scallops with herb spaetzle, roasted mushrooms, bacon and buerre blanc.

A Really Good Yarn
KAL Summer 2019
Sunday, January 22, 2017
More from TNNA
This show stopper was in the Freia Fibers booth. One of the ladies who works there knit it. It is made from balls of yarn that Tina dyed and then rejected. Amazing!
I've shown pictures of the So Fond of Rainbows pack from Frabjous Fibers. This amazing cardigan is knit from The Cheshire Cat version - it's fingering weight. The pattern will be available in a few weeks.
The cardigan was sitting on a chair. I asked if it could be modeled. Fabulous.
If the brights are a bit too bright for you, don't forget about the new pack.
There will be four new colours coming from Mrs. Crosby. She has been busy in the dye studio. They are asking to be added into a Find Your Fade.
It was a long day and I'm in the room for the night. The day was exciting and I want to show you all the great pictures. I'm afraid that I might get caught up in the football tomorrow so I'm posting early.

Melchizedek is the Universal Logos. Logos in Greek means The Word. Thus, Melchizedek is The Word. He is the ultimate guardian and ultimate architect of our universe.
To read messages from the Ascended Masters, you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Lord Melchizedek, our Universal Logos, offers us a grid to re-unite us with the thirty-three members of our Soul Lineage of Light and unburden ourselves from the feeling of being alone in this world.
Chapter III
from Path to Enlightenment Book III, The Seed of Life, by Nasrin.
In this chapter Melchizedek talks about his own Soul Lineage of Light. As the Universal Logos, Melchizedek's Lineage reaches from Universal Level all the way down to Earth in the Third Dimension. There are many Souls on Earth today who have a direct connection to the Melchizedek Lineage. Even if your Soul Lineage is most closely tied to that of Sanat Kumara, Melchior or other Great Beings, eventually your Lineage merges into the Soul Lineage of Light of Melchizedek.
Path to Enlightenment, Book III, The Seed of Life is available for purchase in the Gifts Book store (see link in menu bar above).
Soul Lineage of Light
My Dear Hearts, I am Melchizedek.
Take a deep breath. Visualize yourself standing before Lord Melchizedek, the Universal Logos. Visualize Melchizedek in his ceremonial robe and cape of Royal Blue. In his hand is the Scepter of Universal Power and on his head, a Crown of Gold. Over his chest the Golden Cross, an Emblem of the Universal Logos, is displayed.
Visualize that Melchizedek is standing with his arms outstretched. Purple-Blue Light of the Universal Logos is emanating from the palms of his hands, Third Eye, Cosmic Heart, Personal Heart, and his Solar Plexus to you. Light is entering your entire Five Body System. It brings you the healing which removes all the pain and damage from many lifetimes of incarnation into the density of this mundane realm.
I now call forth thirty-three members of your Soul Lineage of Light. They are closely connected to your soul and aware of your Soul's Mission. They come forth to stand in a circle around you and Lord Melchizedek. They stand shoulder-to-shoulder, beaming Purple-Blue Light which is the essence and substance of Pure Melchizedek Light. Take a deep breath and make an intention for the healing that you are about to receive. Say,
"I ask for the energies of Lord Melchizedek and the thirty-three members of my Soul Lineage to merge with me through my Five Body System. I ask that we connect through the Cosmic Heart Chakras over-lighted by the energies of Lord Melchizedek. I ask that all the pain, dross and damage inflicted upon my body, my soul and my personality aspects and those of all Soul Lineage members, be released through this healing."
Take a deep breath and pause to allow the healing energies to penetrate into your Five Body System and your soul and personality aspects.
Now visualize Legions of Archangel Michael creating a circle around this entire formation. They too are standing with their shoulders touching. Their Swords of Mercy are drawn out of their sheaths and held up above the entire formation with you, Lord Melchizedek and the thirty-three members of your Soul Lineage inside the circle. Visualize that the points of their swords touch at the center of the dome creating an electric charge of Aquamarine-Blue Light. Shimmering Aquamarine-Blue Light of Divine Mercy, Divine Protection and Divine Guidance pours down from the points of their swords into the dome, down to you. This Light will continuously charge you with energies of Divine Mercy and protect you from all lower vibrational frequencies.
Visualize that this entire formation is placed inside the Pillar of Pure White Light, brought down from the Throne of Absolute, the Abode of Divine Mother. Inside this Pillar, your energies are drawn upward to all the thrones above. Take a deep breath and pause for a moment.
We now begin the journey to ascend to each throne inside of the Pillar of Light. We reach the Throne of I Am That I Am. You stand before the Presence of I Am That I Am inside the Formation of Light with Lord Melchizedek, members of your Soul Lineage and the Angelic Forces of Michael. Visualize yourself as you merge and expand, uniting with the essence of God in Form, held within the Presence of the I Am That I Am. Take a deep breath and bathe in these energies.
We move upward inside the Pillar of Light, passing through all the Thrones in the Higher Realms until we reach to the Throne of Undifferentiated Source. This is the Throne of God in Non-Form. This is the Abode of Pure White Light. We stand before this essence in the Formation of Light with Lord Melchizedek, members of your Soul Lineage of Light and Angelic Forces of Michael. Unite, merge and receive the Light of the Undifferentiated Source. Expand in this Light, healing the pain, struggle and dross accumulated from life in physical embodiment. Now ask to be brought to the state of purity and innocence, which was originally intended for you. Say,
"I ask that all my Five Body System, mind, emotions, and my Soul's and Personality Aspects be brought back to the state of purity and innocence originally intended for me in the Divine Plan, from the heart-core of the Undifferentiated Source. I ask this on behalf of all members of my own Soul Lineage."
Take a deep breath and bathe in these energies, allow the healing to be administered to you. Together with Lord Melchizedek, the Soul Lineage members and the Angelic Forces of Michael, we travel higher and further into the depth of Light to the Throne of Absolute, the Abode of Divine Mother. We stand before the Throne of Divine Mother. Visualize that the silhouette of a female being appears from the Throne and stands before you. She may appear to you in a form of her choosing. She places her left hand on your chest and her right hand on your back, aligned with your Heart Chakra. Her Divine Light is emanating from her hands to your heart. This is the Light of the Creative Force of the Feminine Principle of Existence. This Creative Force triggers this entire creation to come into manifest form. Everything has been created from her Divine Love and Divine Grace. Through her Grace, all things are manifest and all things are possible. We shall ask her for the Original Blueprint of Perfection to be imprinted upon your body and being. Take a deep breath and pause before we receive the Blueprint.
Now say,
"I ask from the Throne of Absolute and the Presence of the Divine Mother for the Original Blueprint of the Melchizedek Light and Order to be awakened in my DNA structure and all the Fragments of my Soul to be reunited. I ask for healing, health, and wholeness for all my Personality Aspects and Soul Fragments. I especially ask for healing of my nervous system and strength in my personality and character to help me to continue on my Soul's Divine Mission. I ask for the blessing and grace of Divine Mother to reconnect my Life Force with the Life Force of the members of my Soul Lineage, under the guidance of Lord Melchizedek, the Universal Logos. I ask to be energized, recalibrated, refreshed and reunited with the Melchizedek essence and be brought to complete health and wholeness. I ask Lord Melchizedek to over-light all my Soul Fragments and my Personality Aspects to accelerate me to fulfill my Divine Mission." Take a deep breath and visualize yourself receiving this blessing.
Now visualize that each of the Thirty-Three Members of your Soul Lineage join to overlay their own Light signature upon yours. Finally, visualize the Presence of Lord Melchizedek over-lighting your energy bodies as he sends you emanations of his Universal Light in the Presence of the Divine Mother. Health, wholeness, healing, joy, peace and harmony are restored to you from this reunion. Your Physical, Etheric, Emotional, Mental and Spiritual Bodies are refreshed, rejuvenated and overlaid by the Brilliant Light of the Universal Logos. The entire structure of your Light Body is now overlaid by the Presence of Lord Melchizedek, the Universal Logos. On your behalf, I, Melchizedek, ask and decree the following; Say,
"We ask this entire Formation of Light to continue to charge this Grid of Light with the blessings and healings which have been requested, from this day on. We ask this healing to continue and accelerate with every repetition of this meditational exercise."
Now, offer a prayer of thanksgiving to the Presence of the Divine Mother and the Throne of Absolute as we take our leave. Together with Lord Melchizedek, thirty-three members of your Soul Lineage and the Angelic Forces of Michael we spin down through the Pillar of Light back to the Throne of the Undifferentiated Source. Offering a prayer of thanksgiving at this Throne, we continue on our downward journey to the Throne of the I Am That I Am. We offer a blessing and prayer of thanksgiving and lower our essence and energy back to the consciousness of our bodies.
Repeat this meditational exercise every day for twenty-two days and beyond. This is a great exercise to connect you with your Soul's Mission and accelerate you on your spiritual path. It will facilitate the return and reunion of all your Soul Fragments who have withdrawn their energies from you as a result of hardship and difficulties through many lifetimes in the density of Earthly Realms. A Soul Retrieval of this grand scale can bring a sense of wholeness and familiarity or belonging back to your body and being. The energies of the Universal Logos and the Melchizedek Brotherhood will support you in all your tasks and endeavors; sublime as well as mundane. Call upon the entourage of these beings to join you in dreamtime every night before you fall asleep.
With great love, I am Melchizedek. So it is.

EU projects & collaborations
Safeguarding the environment necessitates cross-border efforts to be able to achieve change, whilst development requires cooperation with other stakeholders, exchange of ideas and experience. Ports of Stockholm participates in the following projects and networks.
NextGen Link
Ports of Stockholm, together with the Port of Turku, City of Turku, the Port of Mariehamn and Viking Line, participate in the joint EU NextGen Link Project that runs 2017-2020. The focus of the project is to upgrade Turku-Mariehamn-Stockholm shipping connections with a new LNG vessel and to improve infrastructure at the ports.
Viking Line has ordered a new vessel, which means an increased demand for freight handling and efficiency at the ports. The investment in port infrastructure is intended to meet this demand. For Ports of Stockholm the work involves the installation of a new ITS system (intelligent transport system) for efficient terminal operations and traffic control, as well as the creation of a new area for stacking and transit parking at the Stadsgården Port.
The project har been granted EU funding up to a maximum of EUR 11.8 million from the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) programme within the framework of Motorways of the Seas.
The Northern ScanMed Ports – Sustainable Maritime Links
Ports of Stockholm, together with Port of Turku, HaminaKotka, Port of Naantali and Viking Line ran an EU-financed project that aimed to develop environmental services in the ports and reduce the environmental impact from the traffic in the so-called Scandinavian-Mediterranean Corridor between Sweden and Finland.
Ports of Stockholm's parts in the project were preparations for onshore power supply in Värtahamnen and Kapellskär and detailed designs for waste water management in Nynäshamn. The project was a Motorways of the Seas project within the Connecting Europe Facility and ran 2014-2016. Read more about the project (pdf)
LNG in Baltic Sea Ports
LNG in Baltic Sea Ports was an EU-funded project aimed at investigating the prerequisites for establishing a functional infrastructure for bunkering (refuelling) vessels with liquefied natural gas, otherwise known as LNG. The more stringent sulphur content restrictions for vessel fuels imposed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) formed the basis for the project. LNG is one alternative to the heavy oils that are not allowed in the Baltic Sea anymore.
Ports of Stockholm was one of seven Baltic Sea ports involved in the project, which ran from 2012 to 2014.
Find out more about the project (external link)
Clean Baltic Sea Shipping
Clean Baltic Sea Shipping was an EU prioritised, strategic project for environmental efforts in the Baltic Sea that was completed in 2013. Ports of Stockholm's responsibilities included a sub-project to investigate the possibilities of charging differentiated port fees based on different indices.
PENTA - an EU project focused on the development of Baltic Sea ferry traffic
PENTA was an EU project that was completed in August 2013.

Pedal extenders are an ingenious UGG Nightfall addition to the piano. At first sight, they look like a footstool and can serve the purpose of giving a child a place for the feet so they do not dangle freely, but UGG Nightfall Boots they also have piano pedals. Piano pedals sit on the top, and underneath are posts that sit on the pedals of the piano, so that when nightfall uggs the child pushed the pedal on the footstool, the piano pedals are pushed by the extenders.

This song sounded like a godsend on paper…a legit country artist famous for her songwriting prowess working with a powerhouse voice with tendency to be let down by her usual material, in an era of Country Music so soaked in testosterone that a duet between two of its best-known female performers seemed like an antidote to all its woes. But the actual result was an embarrassing catastrophe that sounded more like a bad imitation of mediocre Eighties hard rock styles than a country song. This is Lambert's first bad single to date, but frankly, even Underwood's usual stuff is generally better than this.
Verdict: Bad.

If you have been reading around online trying to unearth the various ways to get rid of sagging neck skin, then you probably know that skin firming lotions are a fabulous option. This article will take a look at some of the top brands of skin tightening lotions available on the market so you can make informed decision before parting with your hard earned cash.
Best Skin Firming Lotions
With an ever growing list of firming lotions in the market, you may be wondering what the best skin firming lotions are. Well, here are some of the top rated lotions that have been found to do great job in as far as improving skin tone is concerned.
Nivea Skin Firming Lotion
It seems these days you cannot read two skin firming lotion reviews without hearing about Nivea Q10 Plus Firming Body Lotion; and there is a good reason for that. The lotion features the anti-ageing complex known as Q10 which has been shown to enhance the skin tone by enhancing the renewal of skin cells.
The Q10 complex also stimulates the production of cell energy in the upper layers of the skin which helps to achieve a smooth, healthy looking skin texture. Nivea Q10 Plus Firming Body Lotion also deeply penetrates the skin for intense moisturizing action and support for the natural structure of the skin which effectively sets ground for a tighter and well toned skin.
It is suggested that you apply Nivea Q10 Plus Firming Body Lotion to your whole body after shower and – according to the manufacturer – it is realistic to expect to see results in about 2 weeks.
Nivea Skin Firming Moisturizer
Rich Firming Body Moisturizer Q10 Plus is yet another promising product from Nivea. This product combines the proven moisturizing and skin care action of Nivea products (you have very likely heard about Nivea Hydra IQ Technology) with the power of the Q10 complex to set way for a smooth, supple skin that will shed years off your look.
Rich Firming Body Moisturizer Q10 Plus is ideal for use on normal and dry skin types and with an impressive rating of 3.9 out of 5 on Amazon and 5 out of 5 on Boots, this is one product that I would personally be willing to put my money on and one that you will hardly miss in Skin Firming Lotion Reviews.
Jergens Skin Firming Lotion
Jergens Skin Firming Daily Toning Moisturizer is yet another super-weight product that you can hardly overlook. With outstanding ratings of 8.1 out of 10 on Total Beauty, 4.1 out of 5 on Drugstore and 3.8 out of 5 on MakeupAlley.com at the time of this writing it is without doubt one of the best skin firming lotions on the market today.

Most Jergens users on Drugstore applauded it for its rich moisturizing action and quick absorption from the skin while others applauded it for its non-greasy feel and nice smell.
According to the manufacturer, Jergens Skin Firming Daily Toning Moisturizer is formulated to reduce the appearance of cellulite and thus give your skin a firmer and better toned look. It features ingredients such as collagen, elastin, and Ginseng among others that are known to have a positive effect on the elasticity and firmness of the skin.
Remember that lower production of collagen and elastin due to the natural process of ageing is one of the common causes of sagging skin.
Suave Skin Firming Lotion
Suave is one brand that seems to surprise us all the time with amazing beauty products whether we are talking about hair lightening shampoos, dry scalp shampoos name it. And with the rave reviewed Suave Skin Firming Lotion, they gave us yet another reason to keep talking about them.
Suave Skin Firming Lotion contains seaweed extracts that have clinically been shown to firm and nourish the skin, leaving it supple, smooth and younger looking. Its strong moisturizing action also means that you don't have to use your normal moisturizing lotion alongside Suave. It is like killing two birds with one stone if you will agree with me. And the best part, this product is totally non greasy and absorbs rather fast.
It is one of those products that would make for a safe bet but as I wrote this article, it seems like the Suave Skin firming Lotion is temporarily (or may be permanently) discontinued. Time will tell.
Skin Firming Body Lotion
Reading through some of the emails from our readers (yes we read them) i read one that said, "Can you recommend a good skin firming body lotion?"
As we have already mentioned, there are dozens upon dozens of such products but truth be told; not all are created equally. Some will promise you the moon but not even take you anywhere above the earth.
Nevertheless, there are some amazing products that have proven to walk their talk and here are some of them:
- Jergens Skin Firming Daily Toning Moisturizer
- Nivea Q10 Plus Firming Body Lotion
- Reviva Labs Body Firming Lotion
- Philosophy Amazing Grace Firming Body Lotion
- Skin Tight Body Firming Lotion
- Olay Quench Plus Firming Body Lotion
Skin Firming Lotion after Weight Loss
A successful Weight loss regime is a dream come true for the majority of people but it is often accompanied by an undesired outcome that can turn back the wheel of joy and make the happiness short-lived: sagging skin.
Luckily there are numerous lotions formulated specifically to take care of the problem and rather than go back to them, why don't you just refer to the "best skin firming lotions" section above. All the best in your endeavor to get that taut, elastic skin that will shed years off your look.

Strategic Plan for the Union 1999-2003
I. Introduction
1. The purposes of the Union are set out in Article 1 of the Constitution (Geneva, 1992). Essentially, they are to provide a forum in which the Union's membership can cooperate for the improvement and rational use of telecommunications of all kinds in the following domains:
2. The objective of the strategic plan for the Union for 1999-2003 is to indicate how these purposes will be achieved in this period of time by identifying key issues, goals, strategies and priorities for the Union as a whole, for each of the Sectors, and for the secretariat.
3. The ITU strategic plan for 1995-1999 was based on an ambitious goal - to establish the Union as the international focal point for all matters relating to telecommunications in the global information economy and society. This goal was to be achieved through the following overall strategies:
4. The report of the Council to the Plenipotentiary Conference (Minneapolis, 1998) on the activities of the Union since the Plenipotentiary Conference (Kyoto, 1994) provides a detailed assessment of the results of the 1995-99 strategic plan. Each of these strategies has been successful, to a greater or lesser degree. However, the overall goal as referred to in § 3 above has not been entirely realized, largely because of developments outside the control of the Union and its membership.
5. The telecommunication environment has evolved in ways that were not completely foreseen when the 1995-1999 strategic plan was being crafted. In particular, the forces of liberalization, competition and globalization have been stronger than anticipated. They have resulted in a shift in the way telecommunications is viewed - by policy-makers and regulators, by customers, and by the industry itself. These forces will be further strengthened by the implementation in 1998 of agreements liberalizing trade in telecommunications at the international and regional levels.
6. In this new environment, it is no longer realistic to believe that the Union can be the focal point for all matters relating to telecommunications in the global information economy and society. The world is now too complex and telecommunications too pervasive for a single organization to be the focus of all issues of concern to the international community. New goals must be set and new strategies devised. That is the purpose of this document, which is organized as follows:
7. The financial plan for the Union for 2000-2003 estimates the cost of ITU activities, identifies revenue options and establishes expenditure priorities on the basis of the provisions of the draft strategic plan.
A. Trends and developments in the telecommunication environment
8. The global market for telecommunications is expanding rapidly. It is not a question of "demand pull" or "supply push". Both are happening. The interaction of these two forces has made telecommunications one of the leading growth sectors in the world economy. It has also made telecommunications one of the most important components of social, cultural and political activity.
9. The effect of the fundamental forces driving demand and supply has been amplified by the worldwide trend to liberalize markets for telecommunication and information technology goods and services. As a result of this trend, the majority of telecommunication networks are now privately owned and operated. Significant developments have also taken place to introduce competition at the national, regional and international levels. Of particular importance is the World Trade Organization (WTO) agreement to liberalize trade in basic telecommunication services which was concluded in February 1997 by 69 countries which together account for more than 90% of global telecommunication revenues. The agreement entered into force on 5 February 1998.
10. The new framework developed by WTO to govern trade and regulation of telecommunication services will facilitate further globalization of the telecommunication equipment and services industries, as well as the closely-related information technology industry.
11. Five years ago, few would have predicted that the Internet would emerge so rapidly as a serious competitive force in telecommunications. However, today's Internet is only a precursor to the new competitive forces that are likely to emerge in the next five to ten years in the new "communications and information sector" which will result from technological convergence.
12. The essential lesson to be learned from the Internet phenomenon is that competition is no longer a public policy tool which can be introduced in a completely controlled fashion and regulated within the confines of the traditional telecommunication sector. Competition in telecommunications is rapidly becoming a true market force whose evolution cannot be planned by policy-makers, a force which increasingly is seen as best regulated on the basis of principles that are not specific to telecommunications, but derived from a broader economic, social and cultural perspective.
13. Although far from universally accepted, the sweeping changes in telecommunications described above have broad support among many countries, including a number of developing countries who see it as the best way forward in developing their telecommunication networks and services to the benefit of their overall economic and social development.
14. The liberalization of telecommunications does not mean an end to regulation - but it has changed both the role of government and the nature of telecommunication regulation:
15. In the 1999-2003 planning period, it is likely that the trends noted above with respect to liberalization, competition and globalization will begin to combine in new ways that may ultimately change the way the telecommunication industry sees itself and is seen by its regulator(s) and customers.
16. From one point of view, encouraging progress has been made in the 1995-1999 period in certain countries and some regions in forging the "missing link" identified by the Maitland Commission. Overall, the gap between developed and developing countries in access to basic telecommunication services is closing. However, from other points of view, new gaps are beginning to appear:
17. On the eve of the 21st century, the Union thus finds itself in a dynamic situation. On the one hand, the goal established by the Maitland Commission of achieving universal access to basic telecommunications will be technically achieved, and the overall gap between developed and developing countries is steadily narrowing. However, at the same time, new differences are developing, for example within the developing world, between the LDCs and other developing countries, between liberalized and non-liberalized countries which may be either developed or developing, and between countries that are moving rapidly towards competition and those moving at a slower pace.
18. This raises important questions in relation to the vision of the global information society (GIS). This vision was the subject of considerable discussion during the 1995-1999 period, initially in the G-7 group of advanced industrial economies, then in the broader international community. Today, the basic ideas behind the concept of the GIS have been broadly accepted and indeed endorsed. In this vision, all forms of economic, social, cultural and political activity will increasingly depend on access to the telecommunication and information services provided by the global information infrastructure (GII). The rapid development of electronic commerce on the Internet is one tangible example of how the GIS is becoming a reality. The challenge facing the international community is to find ways to ensure that the GIS is truly global, and that people everywhere are able to share in its benefits.
B. Impact on ITU
19. As a result of these trends and developments, demand for the products and services provided by ITU has risen in the 1995-1999 period and is expected to continue to rise in the 1999-2003 time-frame. This is the case for the services provided to the ITU membership (e.g. meetings, recommendations, assistance in applying regulations, frequency and number registrations, technical and development assistance) as well as those provided to the international telecommunication community as a whole (e.g. exhibitions, forums, development indicators, trend reports, information services).
20. One of the most important strategic issues facing ITU in the 1999 - 2003 period is how to respond to these rising demands:
21. There are clearly major challenges facing the Union as it seeks to respond to rising demand for its products and services. However, each of these challenges has a positive side which provides an opportunity to build on ITU's "core competencies":
22. The strategic challenge facing the Union in the 1999-2003 time-frame is to remain a pre-eminent international forum where Member States and Sector Members work together to enable the development of telecommunication networks and to facilitate universal access to communication and information services, so that people everywhere can participate in and benefit from the global information economy and society.
23. The purposes of the Union are achieved through the activities of its three Sectors, through the Sector conferences and assemblies, and through general-purpose activities such as the Plenipotentiary Conference, the world conference on international telecommunications and the Council, as well as the world telecommunication policy forum and TELECOM exhibitions and forums.
24. The ITU is a federal organization. Although financial resources are centrally controlled, each Sector has its own "governance structure" which defines the goals, strategies and activities necessary to achieve its mission in a given period of time. However, just as the purposes of the Union set out in Article 1 of the Constitution apply to all Sectors, so they share a number of strategic orientations and goals.
C. Strategic orientations
25. "Strategic orientations" are principles intended to provide coherence, focus and direction to all of the activities undertaken by the Union. It is impossible to forecast the future completely in the rapidly changing telecommunication environment and to plan for every contingency. Strategic orientations therefore help to ensure consistency of purpose and action in the face of inevitable uncertainty.
26. The following strategic orientations are proposed for the 1999-2003 strategic plan. They build on the experience of the 1995-1999 period, particularly the results of implementation of Resolution 15 (Kyoto, 1994) and Resolution 39 (Kyoto, 1994), and they seek to apply that experience to the anticipated requirements of the new environment analysed in part II of this document, in addition to encouraging development of access to basic telecommunication and information services:
27. In addition to these strategic orientations, the Sectors of the Union share a number of goals for the 1999-2003 period, and will undertake priority actions to achieve these goals.
D.1 Goal 1 - Strengthen the multilateral foundations of international telecommunications
28. The trends and developments analysed in part II of this document illustrate the multilateral nature of key ITU activities. Since the most basic purpose of the Union is to maintain and extend international cooperation between all its members for the improvement and rational use of telecommunications, the central goal of the Union's strategy must be to take this into account and strengthen multilateral cooperation in areas where its effectiveness may be in question. To this end, the following priority actions are proposed:
D.2 Goal 2 - In addition to development of access to basic telecommunication and information services, promote global connectivity to the global information infrastructure (GII) and global participation in the global information society (GIS)
29. The vision of the GIS will become a reality only if the networks and services of the converging telecommunication and information industries are able to interconnect and interoperate seamlessly, and if they are accessible to people everywhere at affordable rates. Facilitating development of the GII and promoting universal access to basic telecommunication and information services is a goal that unites all ITU Sectors. Priority actions proposed for 1999-2003 include:
D.3 Goal 3 - Coordinate international action to manage scarce telecommunication resources
30. Although we are living in an era of technological abundance, some communication resources remain scarce. The coordination of international action to manage resources such as the radio-frequency spectrum, satellite orbital positions and telecommunication numbers is a well-established and core role of ITU, as the pre-eminent competent international body to deal with these issues. In addition, human resources and information are becoming recognized as scarce resources of a different kind that are critical to developing countries in the new environment. The following priority actions are therefore proposed for 1999-2003:
D.4 Goal 4 - Encourage and enable Member States, especially developing countries, to draw maximum benefit from technical, financial and regulatory changes in the telecommunication environment
31. As indicated in part II, the current telecommunication environment is a dynamic one, characterized by rapid technological progress but also by emerging differences, for example within the developing countries, between liberalized and non-liberalized countries, and between countries that are moving more rapidly towards competition and those moving at a slower pace. Countries will be assisted in adapting to this environment if they have available good information not only on the global environment but also on the issues and options they face. Each ITU Sector, and ITU as a whole, has a role to play in providing this information. The following priority actions are therefore proposed for 1999-2003:
D.5 Goal 5 - Improve the efficiency and effectiveness of Union structures, activities and processes
32. To remain a pre-eminent international and market-relevant focal point for matters related to the rapidly changing telecommunication environment, ITU must regularly review and, as appropriate, update its structure, activities and processes, ensuring that they are effective and efficient in the light of the current needs of its membership. To this end, the following items are proposed for 1999-2003:
E. Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R)
E.1 The Radiocommunication Sector mission
33. Under the provisions of the Constitution and Convention (Geneva, 1992), the mission of the ITU Radiocommunication Sector is, inter alia, to ensure rational, equitable, efficient and economical use of the radio-frequency spectrum by all radiocommunication services, including those using satellite orbits, and to carry out studies and adopt Recommendations on radiocommunication matters.
E.2 The Radiocommunication Sector environment
34. This mission is to be undertaken in an environment that is characterized by:
E.3 The Radiocommunication Sector strategic objectives
35. Within its overall mission, the strategic objectives of ITU-R are to carry out the functions laid down in the Constitution and Convention, and specifically, in the period 1999-2003:
E.4 Priorities of the Radiocommunication Sector
36. The priorities of the Radiocommunication Sector for 1999-2003, in addition to those that may be identified by future conferences, are:
F. Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T)
F.1 The Telecommunication Standardization Sector mission
37. Under the provisions of the Constitution and Convention (Geneva, 1992), the mission of the ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector is to fulfil the purposes of the Union relating to telecommunication standardization by studying technical, operating and tariff questions and adopting Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis.
38. Taking account of rapid change in the telecommunication environment, the mission of the Telecommunication Standardization Sector for the period of 1999-2003 will include:
F.2 The Telecommunication Standardization Sector environment
39. The mission is to be undertaken in an environment characterized by:
F.3 The Telecommunication Standardization Sector objectives
40. The overall mission of the Telecommunication Standardization Sector can be realized by targeting the following strategic objectives in ITU-T activities:
F.4 Priorities of the Telecommunication Standardization Sector
41. The priorities of the Telecommunication Standardization Sector for 1999-2003, in addition to those that may be identified by future conferences, are:
to work with BDT with special attention to telecommunication development in developing countries, and to cooperate with the other Sectors in the organization of information meetings, seminars and workshops and in the development of case studies, guidelines and handbooks;
to assist in developing for ITU-T an open and transparent "bottom-up" budget proposal that incorporates financial management principles and techniques, including cost recovery as appropriate.
G. Telecommunication Development Sector (ITU-D)
G.1 The Telecommunication Development Sector mission
42. The mission of the Telecommunication Development Sector, as set out in the Constitution and the Convention, encompasses the Union's dual responsibility as a United Nations specialized agency and executing agency for implementing projects under the United Nations development system or other funding arrangements, so as to facilitate and enhance telecommunication development by offering, organizing and coordinating technical cooperation and assistance activities.
The work of ITU-D will reflect the various resolutions of the world telecommunication development conference. It will place emphasis on gender balance in its programmes and will reflect the needs of other aspects of global society such as youth and the needs of indigenous peoples. Emergency telecommunications is another area where renewed efforts are required. Collaboration with the private sector should be more clearly defined and expanded so as to reflect the changing roles of public and private entities in the telecommunication sector. The "Year 2000" problem should be urgently addressed. ITU-D should also use the mechanisms for advancing Sector goals included in Opinion B of the World Telecommunication Policy Forum (Geneva, 1998) and the opportunities provided by the ITU programme funded by the surplus funds from TELECOM exhibitions.
In fulfilling its mission, ITU-D will cover the five major areas of telecommunication development: telecommunication sector reform, technologies, management, finance and human resources. It is supported by the four main modes of action by which the Sector carries out its work: direct assistance (including project execution), resource development and mobilization, partnerships and information sharing, which are reflected in the organizational structure of BDT.
G.2 The Telecommunication Development Sector environment
43. The telecommunication development environment is characterized by the following features:
G.3 The Telecommunication Development Sector strategy
44. The following points define a strategy for the Telecommunication Development Sector that is consistent with its mission and the changing telecommunication environment. ITU-D will:
work with governments to assist them in establishing appropriate telecommunication policies and regulatory structures. Strategies for the development of telecommunications may be fostered by liberalization, private investment and competition in appropriate circumstances. The goal of these policies and structures should be to:
G.4 Priorities of the Telecommunication Development Sector
45. The experience of four successful years has given the Telecommunication Development Sector a solid basis from which to forecast the following priorities for 1999-2003:
develop and mobilize resources for telecommunication development, including human and financial resources, technology, HRD/HRM tools and systems, information and expertise;
create partnership arrangements that benefit all parties, avoiding purely commercial approaches and concentrating on long-term benefits (as opposed to short-term gains):
46. During the period 1999-2003, the strategic processes of the Telecommunication Development Sector will incorporate all resolutions and recommendations adopted by WTDC-98, as well as all other relevant resolutions and recommendations of ITU conferences.nGoals, strategies and priorities for the General Secretariat and three Bureaux

Embraze Calls It A Day
Finnish metal band Embraze has announced that they will no longer continue. A message from the band reads as follows: "Hanging up the Instruments...
"Embraze has come to the end of the road; we have decided to call it quits. The decision was made together as a band, and we want to throw one more gig and finish the story of Embraze with style.
"Lots of water has streamed in River Kiiminkijoki in the past 15 years, when children have become so-called grown-ups. We've experienced moments of joy and success just as well as some setbacks, line-up changes and battles with record labels. Despite the energy-consuming setbacks, however, we have prevailed and made a long career.
"One of the best recording experiences we had was recording Katharsis in the Finnish Lapland when we packed our gear in a trailer and recorded the album at Raanujärvi with Aki Karppinen and Kake Vähäkuopus. We lived and worked in a 300m² mansion, brought from the 19th century Soviet Union. The doors at the mansion locked themselves on their own from the inside and all kinds of fun and exciting things were going on in the house. It was great experiencing that recording sessions can, indeed, be relaxing and fun.
"Tours and gigs have also brought their share of all sorts of events and occurrences, as is expected. Some of the more memorable ones have been immortalized in the book series "Rokatessa roiskuu." The best stories and memories will only remain in the minds of those who experienced them. The first Finnish tour was, I think, with Afterworld in the winter of 1998, when we had a bus that sometimes had neither breaks nor heating. That's rock'n roll. One of the most enjoyable tours was with MOONSPELL and BEFORE THE DAWN in the fall of 2006.
"Our last show will be in Oulu, at Club Teatria on May 1st, 2009. The night will also feature two other local bands - SEITH and REFLEXION. The original Embraze-bassist, Petri Henell, plays in Seith, and Reflexion is a band with whom we played together already in the mid-1990s, when we were both taking our fist wobbly steps as bands. Juha Kylmänen, the lead vocalist of Reflexion, also plays in FOR MY PAIN… with Lauri.
"More information on the show at Club Teatria website www.teatria.com. Tickets are available through Tiketti and Lippupalvelu (Ticket Service Finland).
"Thanks to the bands who gave us an opportunity to tour with them: Afterworld, Moonspell, Sparzanza, Before The Dawn, Maple Cross, Lambs.
"Thanks to all our friends and families who have accompanied us on the career.
"Special thanks to our manager Topi Hanhela for his faith, hope and love, from the beginning to the end."

In Stock. Composer/educators Dave and Jean Perry have crafted the perfect work for teaching part singing to young choirs: One Single Light. Even when the voices sing in a roundlike counterpoint, the easy accompaniment supports the singers. And the text is as fresh and clear as the singable melodies. This is quality, no-nonsense choral writing for young singers-just what we've come to expect from the Perrys. For general or Christmas use.

Blowing sideways into my windows, blanketing Central Park, slowing the subways, silencing the traffic. The first real snow of the winter. It always makes me think of "La neige danse," from Debussy's Children's Corner Suite, which I can play, though not nearly as quickly or delicately as the music and its imagery call for.

Steps a screen printer can take to standardize production to increase consistency so that time is saved and press set ups can go quickly
Color values This review is an examination of how the file has incorporated colors into the areas of the file. Some graphics may have very controlled areas of color that are contained by shapes. This style of graphic typically will print really well. Other images may have a lot of color noise(Figure 2) that can pollute colors and make them both difficult to separate and very challenging to replicate on press. The actual color values in an image relate to how bright, saturated, and what the hue of the colors is in the image.
Overall complexity The complexity of a design doesn't always mean that there are a lot of pieces in the image. Complexity can also be a function of how difficult the design might be to replicate or separate properly. Determining overall complexity is usually a combination of art/visual, separation, or production art challenges, and printing concerns with the image, or both the image and the garment.
Trouble areas The most common trouble areas in an image to be separated are usually parts of the design that are easy to see if they are off in hue, position, and or clarity. Sometimes an image will contain a lot of memory colors, which are colors that need to be correct in HSB, or the average person can tell that something just doesn't look right.
Memory colors often include objects made out of wood, metal, stone, or flesh. Even a non-artist can tell if a person's face doesn't look right in hue because they have so many memories of what a normal face color looks like.
Controlling the ink
Controlling ink is not everyone's favorite task, and it takes a dedicated employee to really dive into the inks and get some good results. One particular effort that can yield tremendous benefits to a printing company is the establishment of a standard set of inks. Choosing from the most commonly ordered inks, and then only stocking these 25-30 inks can be a wonderful guide for clients to pick from and it can really help to avoid costly ink mixing and matching (Figure 3).

I love seeing the world through rainbow-colored glasses. I use all of my six senses to notice unusual forms and shapes around me, take photos of them, and then add the color pizzazz. Sometimes in that process, symbols or metaphors emerge that give an even deeper meaning to each image.
I am so glad to be able to merge these artworks with the 'canvas' of a t-shirt – moving metaphors of life that are both portable and powerful!

Discover, Wear, Appreciate!
100% Art, 100% super soft cotton.
*These #Artshirts are made with the highest quality craftsmanship and sourced from the finest materials available.

Opel GT & FAQ's
The 1968-1973 Opel GT
... is the best-known of the Opels imported to North America, due to its head-turning styling and capacity for autobahn performance.
What is not as widely known, are OMC's available technical solutions for some of the common mechanical issues that affect this now 32+ year old roadster, and the history of engineering partnerships that resulted in the Opel GT being one of a very few auto projects that went from a show car prototype to a production vehicle.
Some Opel GT Facts
Frequently Asked Opel Questions
Q. - Why should I drive an Opel?
A. - Value, style, performance and economy.The German made Opel offers a combination of timeless classic body styles with rugged and durable mechanical design. The Opel GT, in particular, turns heads everywhere it goes, averages 22-27MPG on regular gasoline, and often (unrestored) sells for less than $1,000.! When you test-drive a GT, you also appreciate the superior German engineering combined with American-influenced design: Solid handling and braking in a mid-engine chassis, full dash instrumentation and a racing seat position, and autobahn-tested aerodynamic stability when speeds exceed 100 MPH! This is all because the Opel GT is one of the very few design-show prototypes engineered from the ground up to production that was faithful to the spirit of the original, that was accomplished by a major car manufacturer in its time.
Q. - Why should I restore an Opel?
A. - Opels are unique and fun.In our view, should you choose to restore an Opel (with a relatively undamaged chassis) it is the most affordable truly "classic" sports car that we know of, and compares extremely well to the cost and maintenance requirements of current new and used cars. Generally, parts availability in the US is good, part prices are reasonable compared to other import and classic cars, and a successful restoration results in a vehicle that will provide appreciation and driving rewards for many years to come.
Q. - How can I find a good used Opel to buy?
A. - Exercise persistence with patience.Locally, Opels occasionally appear in newspaper classified ads and specialty car sale magazines such as the 'Auto Trader' and 'Hemmings.' Another good local source is local Opel owners, who seem to network amongst themselves and often know of local restorable Opel bodies. Opels are frequently seen on the Ebay online auction site, however numerous claims of misrepresentation (ie extent of body rust, mechanical condition) have been made. Opel web sites sometimes have vehicles advertised, and sellers there have a reputation of tending to be more knowledgeable about the condition of their vehicles. There are also Opel parts retailers and dealers, who strive to maintain a constant inventory of restorable Opel chassis available for sale. In any event, it is strongly advised to research the background and reputation of any seller you are dealing with, as well as to have every Opel thoroughly inspected for damage and particularly under body rust, before you make a final purchase offer.
Q. - Where can I find technical information to service my Opel?
Q. - How can I make my 1.9 liter engine Opel into a reliable daily driver?
A. - Safety First: Inspection of all brake and suspension components is required to identify and then correct any serious operational problems. Then, in the Opel GT, verify that the headlight wires have been replaced (behind the bulbs) to avoid a known fire hazard. Then, once the vehicle is running, improvements required to make an Opel a reliable, economic vehicle, are the same that will produce the most power available from the existing engine. This includes:

Allegiant Travel Co, a low-cost carrier that provides service to leisure destinations, is grounding as many as 30 of its aircraft, or roughly half of its fleet, to inspect emergency evacuation slides in response to an FAA request for information.
The company's shares fell about 5 percent.
In a statement on Friday, Allegiant cited a "compliance issue" that will necessitate prompt inspections of the evacuation slides in its MD-80 aircraft. It added that the move would lead to delays and cancellations, and said the process was expected to be completed by the end of this month.
The Federal Aviation Administration said on Friday it directed Allegiant to report on the status of the slides on its MD-80s after it investigated an emergency evacuation of Allegiant Flight 436 at McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas on Monday.
"The FAA this week became aware that Allegiant Air may not have inspected some emergency evacuation slides on its MD-80 fleet at required intervals," Ian Gregor, public affairs manager with the FAA Pacific Division, said in a statement.
The Monday flight evacuation took place after smoke was seen coming from an Allegiant plane, according to local media reports. The FAA statement said all passengers on board that Allegiant flight were safety evacuated.
"We directed them to report on the slides' inspection status," Gregor added in an email. "Allegiant will do the inspections now that they're aware of the issue."
Las Vegas-based Allegiant, which offers flights to leisure destinations such as Orlando and Fort Lauderdale in Florida and cities in Hawaii, operates 57 MD-80 aircraft, six Boeing 757-200 aircraft, and one Airbus A319. The MD-80 was made by McDonnell Douglas, which Boeing Co acquired in 1997.
"We apologize for the disruption to our passengers and ask that they please remain patient as we work to correct the issue, reschedule affected flights and accommodate any passengers impacted," said Andrew Levy, president of Allegiant Travel, said in a statement.
Allegiant shares closed down $5.08 at $97.91 on the Nasdaq.

"It was all about maintaining this look as young, energetic, articulate teachers who are going to be attractive to potential funders of the school. As people who are going to work their hardest and look good doing it," Brown says. Read more…
