The groundbreaking innovations we introduced with the Aventador marked the beginning of a new era for super sports cars. With the Aventador SV Coupé we have completely redefined the concept.
The Superveloce has been designed as the sportiest Lamborghini ever, thanks to a further improved naturally aspirated V12 engine, engineering solutions geared to extreme lightness, and a mix of innovative technological features, such as the magnetorheological push-rod suspension and the Lamborghini Dynamic Steering system.
Every element of the SV has been developed following the "Design to Weight" concept, with the lowest possible weight and highest possible performance, to make it the fastest and most exciting Lamborghini of all time.
A super sports car in its purest form. Here are all the features and the technical specifications for the Lamborghini Aventador Superveloce Coupé.
What is the performance of an Aventador Superveloce Coupé like? Think about what a Lamborghini driving experience can offer you.
Unmatched performance, thanks to the power of a naturally aspirated V12 engine and the ability to manage it according to your needs, together with the quality and the exclusiveness of the finest materials, skillfully crafted by the best Italian artisans.
Now imagine this phenomenal vehicle on the race track, and how you will feel when you are experiencing the thrill of a race.
Listen to the roaring 750 CV champing at the bit just behind you. This is the Aventador Superveloce.
The visionary and extremely sharp design was intended to achieve the best results in terms of aerodynamics: this is what you will see in the Aventador Coupé Superveloce.
Never before has form followed function so closely, while still maintaining the unmistakable Lamborghini design.
The incredibly sporty nature of the Aventador SV can be recognized in every line, and is highlighted by the choice of the materials, including the ultra-lightweight carbon fiber used for the air vents, rear spoiler and bumpers.
Every detail of the SV once again demonstrates Lamborghini's commitment to taking the Aventador Coupé to its purest essence.
This is especially true for the interior, where you won't find any soundproofing or navigation systems, but instead you will be able to touch the bare structure of your car.
The carbon-fiber monocoque that forms the passenger compartment is actually visible at multiple points, also featuring in the materials used for the doors and sports seats, while the leather and Alcantara® upholstery stays true to the luxury and quality typical of Lamborghini.
What makes the new Lamborghini Aventador Superveloce Coupé unique is its outstanding dynamic behavior, stemming from an impeccable team effort. In fact, each component of the SV has been chosen and calibrated to obtain maximum performance with as little weight as possible, while still guaranteeing the precision of a world-class driving experience.
Though significantly reduced in weight, the short-stroke naturally aspirated V-12 engine has become even sportier, with a maximum power output of 750 CV and a maximum speed of up to 8,500 rpm.
To ensure full control of the car in all conditions – possible thanks to the preset STRADA, SPORT and CORSA driving modes – the electronically controlled 4WD is supported by the Lamborghini Dynamic Steering and magnetorheological push-rod suspension.
Though significantly reduced in weight, the short-stroke naturally aspirated V-12 engine has become even sportier, if this were possible, with a maximum power output of 750 CV and a maximum speed of up to 8,500 rpm.
Front and rear magnetorheological push-rod shock absorbers. This is the ultimate active suspension system. It compensates for roll and undesirable movements of the vehicle body, guaranteeing the perfect response in all driving conditions. It reacts perfectly, ensuring the Superveloce never lets you down.
The revolutionary Lamborghini Dynamic Steering system continuously adapts both the force required to operate the steering wheel and the steering ratio to provide greater maneuverability at low/medium speeds and improved stability at high speeds. The result is perfect driving dynamics.

Film Review X-Men Days of Future Past
Michael Fassbender is one of the many good things about "X-Men: Days of Future Past." (Marvel/20th Century Fox)
(Marvel/20th Century Fox))
LOS ANGELES (AP) — "X-Men: Days of Future Past" is projected to be the fifth best Memorial Day holiday weekend debut in box office history over a four-day period, just behind "Fast & Furious 6" and above "The Hangover 2."
The seventh installment in the "X-Men" franchise earned $111 million, according to studio estimates on Monday. Fox updated its holiday weekend projection, taking it up slightly from $91 million to $91.4 million.
2006's "X-Men: The Last Stand" is still the highest domestic opener of the series, gaining $123 million when it debuted over the Memorial holiday. "Days of Future Past," starring a solid cast including Hugh Jackman, Jennifer Lawrence, Halle Berry, Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Peter Dinklage and Ellen Page, is now the second highest "X-Men" debut.
"We were hoping to get a $100 million in four days and we hoped to broaden the movie out to a more general audience, which has come to fruition from a gender standpoint, age standpoint and race standpoint," said Spencer Klein, senior vice president general sales manager for Fox.
The diverse domestic "X-Men" audience was 56 percent male and 44 percent female. Racially, 53 percent of the audience was white, 20 percent African-American, 14 percent Asian and 13 percent Hispanic.
The attention "Days of Future Past" director Bryan Singer received due a sexual assault lawsuit didn't keep fans away from theaters this weekend.
"We didn't really anticipate that it would," said Chris Aronson, president of domestic distribution for Fox. "It really shouldn't have an impact on audiences and seeing this movie. The audience reactions on a global basis are extraordinarily high, the best of any of our 'X-Men' films."
Globally, "Days of Future Past" earned $282 million with $171 million of that total gained from the international sales in 119 countries, all of which had the "X-Men" film ranked No. 1.
The projected worldwide box office cume of "Days of Future Past" through Monday is an astounding $302 million.
Warner Bros. sci-fi monster smash "Godzilla" dropped to No. 2, but landed solidly with $39.4 million from Thursday to Monday.
The Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore-led comedy "Blended" held the third place spot with an $18.2 million debut. It's not a great start for the duo whose previous team-ups included "The Wedding Singer" and "50 First Dates." Both films grossed over $80 million domestically.
"Neighbors" and "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" rounded out the top five earning $17.2 million and $10 million, respectively.
The four-day Memorial weekend is estimated to generate nearly $230 million, which is down approximately 27 percent from last year's holiday weekend gross of $314.2 million.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Tuesday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Rentrak. Where available, latest international numbers are also included. Final domestic figures will be released on Tuesday.
1."X-Men: Days of Future Past," $111 million ($171 million international).
2."Godzilla," $39.4 million.
3."Blended," $18.2 million.
4."Neighbors," $17.2 million.
5."The Amazing Spider-Man 2," $10 million.
6."Million Dollar Arm," $9 million.
7."The Other Woman," $5 million.
8."Rio 2," $3.3 million.
9."Chef," $3 million.
10."Heaven Is for Real," $2.8 million.

2.4.3 How Fast did Climate Change during the Glacial Period?
The most extreme manifestation of climate change in the geological record is the transition from full glacial to full inter-glacial conditions. During the most recent glacial cycle, peak glacial conditions prevailed from about 25 to 18 ky BP. Temperatures close to those of today were restored by approximately 10 ky BP. However, warming was not continuous. The deglaciation was accomplished in two main stages, with a return to colder conditions (Younger Dryas/Antarctic Cold Reversal) or, at the least, a pause in the deglaciation.
The central Greenland ice core record (GRIP and GISP2) has a near annual resolution across the entire glacial to Holocene transition, and reveals episodes of very rapid change. The return to the cold conditions of the Younger Dryas from the incipient inter-glacial warming 13,000 years ago took place within a few decades or less (Alley et al., 1993). The warming phase, that took place about 11,500 years ago, at the end of the Younger Dryas was also very abrupt and central Greenland temperatures increased by 7°C or more in a few decades (Johnsen et al., 1992; Grootes et al., 1993; Severinghaus et al., 1998). Most of the changes in wind-blown materials and some other climate indicators were accomplished in a few years (Alley et al., 1993; Taylor et al., 1993; Hammer et al., 1997). Broad regions of the Earth experienced almost synchronous changes over periods of 0 to 30 years (Severinghaus et al., 1998), and changes were very abrupt in at least some regions (Bard et al., 1987), e.g. requiring as little as 10 years off Venezuela (Hughen et al., 1996). Fluctuations in ice conductivity indicate that atmospheric circulation was reorganised extremely rapidly (Taylor et al., 1993). A similar, correlated sequence of abrupt deglacial events also occurred in the tropical and temperate North Atlantic (Bard et al., 1987; Hughen et al., 1996) and in Western Europe (von Grafenstein et al., 1999).
A Younger-Dryas type event is also recorded in a Bolivian ice core (Thompson et al., 1998; Sajama, South America in Figure 2.24) and in a major advance of a mountain glacier in the Southern Alps of New Zealand (Denton and Hendy, 1994). However there is recent evidence against a significant Younger Dryas cooling here (Singer et al., 1998) and at other sites of the Southern Hemisphere (reviewed by Alley and Clarke, 1999). Instead, the Antarctic (and Southern Ocean) climate was characterised by a less pronounced cooling (the Antarctic Cold Reversal: Jouzel et al., 1987) which preceded the Younger Dryas by more than 1 ky (Jouzel et al., 1995; Sowers and Bender, 1995; Blunier et al., 1997). Curiously, one coastal site in Antarctica, Taylor Dome (Steig et al., 1998) exhibited cooling in phase with the North Atlantic. Recent series obtained at Law Dome, another coastal site of East Antarctica, show instead a cold reversal preceding the Younger Dryas as in other Antarctic records. This suggests that the Taylor Dome record is of limited geographical significance but it also suggests that there is more to be discovered about this cooling event in the Southern
The rate of temperature change during the recovery phase from the last glacial maximum provides a benchmark against which to assess warming rates in the late 20th century. Available data indicate an average warming rate of about 2°C/millennium between about 20 and 10 ky BP in Greenland, with lower rates for other regions. Speleothem data from New Zealand, and positions of mountain glacier moraine termini suggest warming rates of 2°C/millennium from 15 to 13 ky BP (Salinger and McGlone, 1989). Speleothem data for South Africa suggest a warming rate of 1.5°C/millennium (Partridge, 1997) over the same time period. On the other hand, very rapid warming at the start of the Bölling-Alleröd period, or at the end of the Younger Dryas may have occurred at rates as large as 10°C/50 years for a significant part of the Northern Hemisphere.
Oxygen isotope measurements in Greenland ice cores demonstrate that a series of rapid warm and cold oscillations called Dansgaard-Oeschger events punctuated the last glaciation (Figure 2.23, see North Atlantic SST panel, and Dansgaard et al., 1993). Associated temperature changes may be as high as 16°C (Lang et al., 1999). These oscillations are correlated with SST variations in several North Atlantic deep-sea cores (Bond et al., 1993). There was clearly a close relation between these ice core temperature cycles and another prominent feature of North Atlantic deep-sea core records, the Heinrich events. Heinrich events occurred every 7,000 to 10,000 years during times of sea surface cooling in the form of brief, exceptionally large, discharges of icebergs from the Laurentide and European ice sheets which left conspicuous layers of detrital rocks in deep-sea sediments. Accompanying the Heinrich events were large decreases in the oxygen isotope ratio of planktonic foraminifera, providing evidence of lowered surface salinity probably caused by melting of drifting ice (Bond et al., 1993). Heinrich events appear at the end of a series of saw-toothed shaped, near millennial temperature cycles. Each set of millennial cycles is known as a Bond cycle. Each cycle was characterised by a succession of progressively cooler relatively warm periods (interstadials) during the Ice Age period. Each cooling trend ended with a very rapid, high amplitude, warming and a massive discharge of icebergs. The impact of these Heinrich events on the climate system extended far beyond the northern North Atlantic. At the time of major iceberg discharges, strong vegetation changes have been detected in Florida (Grimm et al., 1993; Watts et al., 1996), oceanic changes occurred in the Santa Barbara Basin off California (Behl and Kennet, 1996) and changes in loess grain-size, associated with atmospheric circulation changes, have been detected in China (Porter and An, 1995; Ding et al., 1998).
Deep-sea cores also show the presence of ice rafting cycles in the intervals between Heinrich events (Bond and Lotti, 1995). Their duration varies between 2,000 and 3,000 years and they closely coincide with the Dansgaard-Oeschger events of the last glaciation. A study of the ice-rafted material suggests that, coincident with the Dansgaard-Oeschger cooling, ice within the Icelandic ice cap and within or near the Gulf of Saint Lawrence underwent nearly synchronous increases in rates of calving. The Heinrich events reflect a slower rhythm of iceberg discharges, probably from the Hudson Strait.
Air temperature, SST and salinity variations in the North Atlantic are associated with major changes in the thermohaline circulation. A core from the margin of the Faeroe-Shetland channel covering the last glacial period reveals numerous oscillations in benthic and planktonic foraminifera, oxygen isotopes and ice-rafted detritus (Rasmussen et al., 1996a). These oscillations correlate with the Dansgaard-Oeschger cycles, showing a close relationship between the deep ocean circulation and the abrupt climatic changes of the last glaciation. Warm episodes were associated with higher SST and the presence of oceanic convection in the Norwegian Greenland Sea. Cold episodes were associated with low SST and salinity and no convection in the Norwegian Greenland Sea (Rasmussen et al., 1996b). Cores from the mid-latitudes of the North Atlantic show that the iceberg discharges in Heinrich events resulted in both low salinity and a reduced thermohaline circulation (Cortijo et al., 1997; Vidal et al., 1997).
These rapid climatic events of the last glacial period, best documented in Greenland and the North Atlantic, have smoothed counterparts in Antarctica (Bender et al., 1994; Jouzel et al., 1994). A peak in the concentration of the isotope beryllium-10 in ice cores (Yiou et al., 1997a), changes in the concentration of atmospheric methane (Blunier et al., 1998) and in the isotopic content of oxygen in ice cores (Bender et al., 1999) indicate links between the Northern and Southern Hemisphere climates over this period. Large Greenland warming events around 36 and 45 ky BP lag their Antarctic counterparts by more than 1,000 years. This argues against coupling between northern and southern polar regions via the atmosphere but favours a connection via the ocean (Blunier et al., 1998).
New evidence suggests that the North Atlantic has three modes of operation. These are: deep-water sinking in the GIN (Greenland-Iceland-Norwegian) Seas and the Labrador Sea, deep-water sinking in the North Atlantic or in the Labrador Sea but not the GIN Seas (Duplessy et al., 1991; Labeyrie et al., 1992) in the cold phase of Dansgaard-Oeschger events and at glacial maximum, and little deep-water sinking in the GIN or Labrador Seas (Heinrich events) (Sarnthein et al., 1994; Vidal et al., 1997, 1998; Alley and Clark, 1999; Stocker, 2000). The first type corresponds to modern, warm conditions. Shut-down of convection in the GIN Seas has a strong effect on the high latitude Atlantic atmosphere and on areas that respond to it such as the monsoon regions of north Africa (Street-Perrott and Perrott, 1990). However, cross-equatorial Atlantic ocean surface transport that supplies the water for the formation of the Labrador Sea deep-water continues to remove heat from the South Atlantic under these conditions. The additional "Heinrich shut-down" of the North Atlantic and Labrador Sea deep-water formation allows this heat to remain in the South Atlantic (Crowley, 1992), and may increase deep-water formation either south of the area affected by melt-water injection (Vidal et al., 1997, 1998) or in the Southern Ocean (Broecker, 1998). This reorganisation could cause warming of regions of the South Atlantic and downwind of it (Charles et al., 1996; Blunier et al., 1998) through a seesaw relationship with the North Atlantic. However, the behaviour of Taylor Dome in the Antarctic and several other southern sites (see above) which exhibit cooling in phase with the North Atlantic argue for an additional atmospheric link to some southern regions.

Last week I read a story about Samsung spending $10 million on Facebook ads and generating $129 million in sales of the Samsung Galaxy S3, directly measured against this paid traffic. This story was shared by a Facebook executive at the recent Business Insider IGNITION conference. There are people arguing over whether or not these numbers are real. Can you honestly measure the conversion of people who view a paid Samsung ad on Facebook and end up using a Samsung Galaxy S3 device?
I think you can do a reasonably good job of this assuming there is a way to track conversions based on people installing (and logging into) the Facebook app from that particular phone, and using Facebook data to confirm that they previously clicked on a Samsung ad. My point in saying this is I do believe advertising on social media platforms can generate great results.
So is Research In Motion advertising on Facebook? Are they building their brand using Facebook's tools? Yes. They are. If you look at the BlackBerry fan page, you can see they have 12.6 million likes and almost a quarter million people "talking about this" (however that metric is defined). Comparably, Samsung Mobile has 15.7 million likes and only 164,000 people "talking about this".
Seems to me that BlackBerry is actually doing better in terms of converting page likes into user discussion. Their viral power is stronger, if you prefer to think of it in those terms. Maybe this means BlackBerry advertising on Facebook should deliver an even stronger return on investment than it did for Samsung.
That is, if it's done right. I don't use Facebook that often, and I never noticed any S3 ads, so I have no idea what they actually used as a promotion.
I can see, however, that BlackBerry 10 is showing up as a promoted post in my Facebook timeline. I'm glad to see this, however I think RIM can do even better.
If you click on the BlackBerry promoted post, the text of the post simply says, "showing is better than telling". Below the post is an embedded YouTube video, which we've also embedded here for your viewing pleasure.
I have to say, I was disappointed with this campaign because it misses out on a huge opportunity to build more awareness and anticipation for BlackBerry 10. From a marketing perspective, here is what I would change:
- Capture viewer attention immediately. It's a nice commercial and all, but in an online world attention spans are very short. This spends a full 5 seconds without anything actually happening. Instead, the first 5 seconds could be used with an attention-grabbing headline with a voiceover. As an excited customer, I'd like to see RIM tease me about the amazing and fresh new BlackBerry 10 platform that's coming soon.
- Focus on the best features in BlackBerry 10. This video makes me watch for 20 seconds before I see anything unique. Don't waste valuable viewer attention span by showing off standard features. Instead, get right into the hub and BlackBerry Flow. Show off the camera and keyboard sooner.
- Tease people with a date! The video just ends, making it so easy to forget about. What's the goal of the video? It should be to program my brain to know that come January 30th, the BlackBerry 10 launch is happening, and I need to stay tuned.
- There should be a call to action. On Facebook, for example, the video could be a request to "like this page". Or there could be a link to an optin form where interested viewers can sign up for email updates on BlackBerry 10.
I'm thrilled to see RIM advertising BlackBerry 10 on Facebook. They've got almost as much of a fan base on there as Samsung Mobile, which is incredible considering their much smaller market share. Their audience seems to be more interactive. This is all very good. But I think they need to do a lot better than promoting a video that was likely made well before RIM really started pushing some of the awesome features in BlackBerry 10. It's time to redo the video, and launch a powerful campaign that can deliver Samsung-like return on investment.

YouthDude's rx for Holiday with parents.
Posted by mirandainnes in Family on January 19, 2011
The important thing here, is to make sure that no one has a good time.
Start campaign well in advance, by refusing to go on the holiday that Parents are proposing. They have not been able to afford a holiday for four years, and the idea has come up now because your elder brother has finally got a job and your mother's aunt Daphne died, leaving enough money to take the family somewhere sunny.
1 Repeat often and loudly that you don't want to go, that it'll be boring, you hate foreign food, you'd rather have the money, none of your friends are going away, you want to stay with Fish, your parents are always making you do things you don't want to do, no one else's parents make them do things and everyone else's parents give them more money and let them do as they like. Imply that your father is a slob because he doesn't have a BMW and because he has not bought you the sound system that Kenny has.
2 Slam doors.
3 Shut yourself in your room with Kenny and Fish and play Ixnay on the Hombre very loud, especially at four am on Sunday
4 Raid the kitchen when everyone is in bed, leave the fridge door open, and, having removed the candles, eat most of Lydia's 9th birthday cake out of the tin leaving crumbs and candles over a wide area.
5 Continue with 1 – 4 until the eve of departure. Announce that
a) you can't find your passport,
b) you need new green Converse which cost 90 quid,
c) you will be sick if they make you eat foreign food. Stare out of the window a lot with your mouth open, jiggling your left foot. Make no attempt to pack or find your passport.
6 When Parent finds, buys and brings you new Converse, point out that they're BLUE.
7 When Parent finds your passport and tells you to put it somewhere safe, put it on the pile of newspapers that father is throwing out. Grunt at mother when she remarks on this, and replace passport on top of the fridge.
8 Stay up until four the night before you all have to be up at six, playing Tupac, soulful but loud.
9 Stumble around the following morning. Be surly. Get in the way. Demand a proper breakfast. Shrug shoulders and sigh loudly if anyone talks to you. Say: 'don't care' or 'dunno' in response to questions about packing, passport and Spinhaler.
10 Develop a sudden and unusual fondness for Fido. Tell parents how cruel they are to leave him with strangers.
11 Wait until you are at the check in to remember that passport is on top of fridge.
12 Sigh heavily and look aggrieved when your dad says how lucky it is that the flight is delayed by two hours and he'll just have time to go back and collect it.
13 In father's absence, demand money from your mum so that you can buy a computer game and have a double cheeseburger, chips and milkshake.
14 Do not be where you arranged to meet until eleven minutes before the plane is due to leave.
15 Bring up cheeseburger, chips and milkshake on unknown fellow passenger on the plane.
16 Blame your mother.
17 Complain about the heat and the smell on landing.
18 Complain about the heat and smell in the hire car.
19 Vomit on Lydia.
20 Say at two minute intervals during the drive 'Aren't we there yet?'
21 Mutter incomprehensible swear words, and answer 'nothing' if anyone asks what you said.
22 Feel aggrieved when Parents take the double room at the villa. Slam the door of your allotted room and refuse to come out. Be pissed off when you hear the others having fun in the pool. Eat the Lasagna they bought for dinner, leaving four dirty pans – one irretrievably burnt – a broken egg on the floor and a trail of sticky plates, cutlery and surfaces. Complain about the Lasagna. Complain about the ants when your mother points out that there is nothing left to eat
23 Compel your parents to drive to the village ten miles away to get another Spinhaler
24 When they suggest you might like to come with them, point out that they left your BLUE Converse at home.
25 Eat all the Hobnobs while they are out. Refuse lunch.
26 Be sick again. Get a temperature.
27 Suddenly feel much better when they have gone back to the village to find medicine for you, and play Nintendo for the next eight hours, snacking on a loaf of bread and all the Nutella.
28 Refuse supper. Tell your mother she is an alcoholic when she suggests to your dad that they have a glass of wine
29 Scowl and look embarrassed when the owner of the villa drops by to see if you need anything and your mother talks to her. Point out that the television does not have the sports channel and that the cd's are boring old people's music.
30 Sleep all day. Play Heavy Metal and Nintendo all night
31 Refuse all suggestions for trips to Waterworld, the local fiesta, horseriding, the sea, the pizza restaurant. Feel martyred if they go without you.
32 Keep this up for the week or fortnight, and there is a good chance that you will not have to endure another holiday with your parents.

First fruits
I'll call this one "Morning and Zucchini":
These are the little Rond de Nice zukes that I waxed poetic about back in March — the ones I thought would be non-world-dominating, non-sneaky. But they ARE plenty exuberant and plenty abundant, and one cluster of them is plenty happy in the melon patch at my friend's. She's been eating blossoms for a bit, and last weekend I harvested two, one to chop and saute, and one to scoop out, stuff with the chicken-sausage-zucchini-poblano pepper macaroni and cheese recipe I've invented, and bake.
Something about that recipe made the entire kitchen smell divine. And if it wasn't poblano peppers that I grew, oh well. (My saved seeds never germinated). If your garden, like mine, is delivering mixed blessings right now — somethings, like zucchini, doing great, others doing quite poopily, thank you, well, get thee to your local farmer's market for cherries and lettuce and corn, oh my! My insanely abundant weekend haul included Amish speckled lettuce and spring turnips — I'd never known there were such things. The lettuce is a little chewy, a little on the bitter side, but ANY lettuce that looks good in this heat is fabulous in my book. And it tasted great with a few tomatoes and some olive oil and salt dumped on it. Dressing? I don't need no stinkin' dressing!
And if you can't get to a farmer's market, scurry to your local county fair and check out the veggies and fruits there. I was helping check in the fruits and veggies at Larimer County this morning, and oh! White acorn squashes to die for. Shiny yellow pumpkin-looking squash, in daddy and momma and baby bear sizes. One woman had GOOSEBERRIES and CURRANTS. A young 4-H'er named Nora finished tagging her own entries, then joined the ranks of volunteers, scurrying around our shelves delivering the plates of entries to their proper, labeled shelves. State entomologist Whitney Cranshaw had his usual, perennially award-winning kohlrabi. Extension Agent Alison Stoven, despite having had her garden smacked around by the Windsor tornado, had some fine-lookin' pineapple mint, among other entries. And one proud grandma shepherded her daughter's huge sugar beet entry. My brain is a blur of plates of peppers and string beans and vases of basil and dill and sage.
So if the blur of political news or the heat or traffic or just the insane rush of life has you down, there's an antidote. Throw a cold go-cup of lemonade in the car and find your farmer's market, and then your county fair. I defy you to leave without a smile.

Possible Duplicate:
What is duplicate content and how can I avoid being penalized for it on my site?
I'm hoping that someone has a solution for what I'm trying to accomplish. I'm working on a travel agency web site and there's a "Overview" section for each cruise line. These overviews are located on the index page for each cruise line.
Here's my issue: The company is creating a search engine that includes details on each cruise line. Their write-ups on each cruise line are great, so I'd like to include the overview they created for each cruise line, rather than having to create all new ones. However, I don't want duplicating their content to negatively affect the SEO scores of the pages they originally put this content on. It's gong to duplicate, since each page that's dynamically generated by their search engine is going to include a section about the cruise line (where I'd want to place the overview).
Question: Is there any way that I can include these overviews (ideally, copying the exact HTML that they've already implemented) without the search engines indexing those particular code sections? I'd want the rest of the search result pages to be indexed...just not the section of each page that contains this duplicate code.
I saw something about using a span class named robots-nocontent in Yahoo (not sure if this also applies to Bing) and googleon / googleoff tags in Google. Is this the best solution?
I'm open to any suggestions, thanks!

Jack Nicklaus's Plan to Snag the Kids
He'll Put His Clout Behind a System That Makes the Game More Accessible to Young People
Jack Nicklaus has 22 grandchildren, but only one pursues the game with tournament-level passion. The others "fiddle around with it and they certainly enjoy it," Nicklaus said Wednesday. A few can break 80, which Nicklaus considers an important benchmark for increasing the odds they will stick with the game, or return to it later in life. But in general, despite the family heritage, his grandkids grew up more interested in other sports.
The man who has won more major golf tournaments than anybody else takes this as a personal challenge. For the last couple of years, concerned about golf's future, he has convened meetings with people to brainstorm ideas for expanding the game at the grass-roots level.
Golf is too slow out of the blocks, Nicklaus believes. "Today, kids start playing athletics when they are as young as 4 or 5 years old, and by the time they are just 7, 8 or 9 years old, many of them have picked their two or three sports," he said. And golf isn't usually in the mix.
One reason is that, for kids, it lacks a team component. The youngest shy away from golf, Nicklaus said, because there's no one to share responsibility with: "It's all on their shoulders." Another barrier is golf's difficulty and its lack of easier-to-use kids' equipment. "In football, kids play flag football with smaller footballs and shorter fields. In basketball, they start with a smaller ball and a shorter hoop. But often in golf, kids start the game with real equipment and real golf balls," Nicklaus said. If adults think it's hard to connect with a tiny golf ball using a long stick, imagine how a 6-year-old feels.
After reviewing numerous formal and informal proposals, Nicklaus has decided to put his considerable clout behind a proposal to form golf leagues using equipment developed by SNAG Golf, a small, closely held company in Tahlequah, Okla. If all goes according to plan, some 300 Jack Nicklaus Learning Leagues will pop up this spring in city parks-and-recreation departments across the country, with a further 500 in 2014 and as many as 1,000 additional local programs a year after that. The leagues will operate much like youth soccer and baseball Little Leagues, with minimal cost for the kids. Initial funding for the equipment and administration will come through a foundation that Nicklaus is setting up for that purpose.
"Going into the parks and places where the kids come and where they have team sports—it's a good concept and it's never been done in golf. So let's just see how it evolves," Nicklaus said.
SNAG has been selling its colorful, giant-headed clubs and oversize golf balls to schools, junior golf programs and golf clubs since 2001. The equipment makes it easy for beginners, both kids and adults, to learn the fundamentals of the game and hopefully later transition into regular golf. Already more than 11,000 facilities in the U.S. and 4,000 abroad use SNAG, including many First Tee programs. "It's pretty darn good for what it is going to be used for," Nicklaus said.
Two former PGA Tour pros, Terry Anton and Wally Armstrong, invented SNAG, which stands for Starting New at Golf. "Learning golf from the get-go with traditional equipment and methods is just about impossible for most people, especially kids," said Anton, who bought out Armstrong in 2007. "The golf ball kids use is exactly the same size and weight as the ball pros use, but the club heads on kids' clubs are usually smaller than on adult clubs. I don't think Tour pros could break 80 with those heads."
The ball that Anton and Armstrong came up with is the same weight as a regular ball but much softer, and the size of a tennis ball. You really feel like you're hitting something, unlike with lightweight plastic balls. "Players with slow swing speeds can get the same feeling of compression that good players get when they hit a good shot," Anton said. That feedback is addictive, and also key for developing a feel for different types of shots.
Although SNAG golf can be played in any large open area, like a park or a beach, the Nicklaus Learning Leagues will use municipal soccer fields. A six-hole course takes less than 30 minutes to set up. Each player carries a rubber tee pad, to elevate the ball before hitting, and two clubs. One is the "launcher," which kids can use to knock a ball 40 to 50 yards. The other is the "roller," a putter equivalent, for the delicate shorter shots that finally "snag" the ball to an aboveground cylinder at the base of the flag. This so-called Flagsticky is covered in adhesive material.
The Nicklaus Leagues will build on a two-year pilot program in 15 cities run by the National Recreation and Park Association. For 5- and 6-year-olds in the Nicklaus Leagues, the emphasis will be on whacking the ball around and having fun, with snacks essential. Seven- and 8-year-olds will get more instruction and compete with partners in best-ball format against other teams. Nine- and 10-year-olds will use slightly smaller, Super SNAG clubs and balls and compete as a team with stroke-play scoring. Plans are afoot for leagues involving older kids and even adults.
"The main point of SNAG golf is to serve as a feeder system for every type of regular golf," Anton says. The body movements and playing skills required to succeed at SNAG are the same as for regular golf. "It's just a lot less frustrating," he said.
Nicklaus is hopeful but cautious about the success of the Nicklaus Leagues and other programs he supports, including First Tee and the PGA of America's Golf 2.0 initiative. I asked him where he would place himself on a scale of one to 10, from pessimism to optimism about the future growth of the game. "Without these programs, I'd put myself at a one, two or three. With the programs, we can probably go from five to 10. It depends on how well they are executed," he said.
"There are few people in the game more traditional than I am, but I recognized long ago that our game needs change. We have been a sport that, historically, has been slow to change and adapt," he said. "Creativity, innovation, and a willingness—if not passion—for trying new things are paramount for change."

Many people justify smoking one or two cigarettes once in a while—known as social smoking—by thinking occasional smoking won't damage their health as much as smoking every day. Unfortunately, smoking fewer cigarettes does not reduce the risk of smoking-related health problems.
Physical Health
With occasional smoking, you still have several health risks, like:
- Heart disease
- Lung and other cancers
- Respiratory tract infections
- Slower recovery from torn cartilage and other injuries
Brain Health
It's not just the body—the brain suffers as well. A 2011 study shows that even occasional smoking affects memory. Northumbria University in the United Kingdom gave a memory test to college students who smoked either occasionally, regularly, or not at all. Results showed that both occasional and regular smokers performed much worse than nonsmokers on this task. In fact, social smokers performed just as badly as regular smokers.
Researchers involved in the study concluded that smoking damages memory no matter how often you do it. And decline in smoking-related memory has been linked with changes in the brain, such as brain shrinkage. That can't be good.
Regain Your Memory
Fortunately, the damage doesn't have to be permanent. The psychologists who researched how smoking affects memory published another study last year showing that quitting smoking can actually improve memory, restoring everyday memory to nearly the same level as that of people who don't smoke.
For this study, participants were taken on a tour of a university campus and asked to remember a series of predetermined tasks at specific locations. While current smokers remembered 59% of tasks, people who had given up smoking remembered 74% of their required tasks. Those who had never smoked remembered 81% of tasks.
What Do You Think?
Does knowing that occasional cigarette smoking has the same brain and physical health effects as regular smoking make you think twice before lighting up? If you smoke now, have you found it harder to remember everyday tasks or errands than before you started smoking?
drugs are terrible. i have a familly member who smokes, she also does weed. its heart breaking. i hate it.
[commercial link removed, per guidelines] I see public smoking is much bad, sometimes u become inspiration for kids and for those who don't smoke. And sometimes you make them smoke passively.
I really appreciate this post. I think this is among the most important information for me. And i'm glad reading your article.
Drugs addiction really a very bad habit. I hate this. In my family one person use drink wine & i don't like it.I will keep updated with the same.
I have met many "social smokers" who have said that smoking is hardly affecting their health and that being a social smoker isn't that bad for them. One of the biggest effects being a social smoker can have, is that you may become a much heavier smoker. A friend of mine started smoking socially, maybe one or two cigarettes every couple of days. Now she smokes more and more every time I see her; the last time I saw her she was up to around ten cigarettes a day. I think that so many people view "social smoking" as a safe option, they think of it as being no different than having a candy bar every once in awhile even when you know they're bad for you. Too many people are mistaken in thinking the risks and adverse health effects from smoking are limited to those who would be considered "heavy smokers."
smoking is bad.did you know that it is the leading cause of heart desease and cancer.
I agree that smoking is a bad habit. I know multiple people who smoke and after reading this article I can give them reasons to quit.
i think it is a good influence on people who smoke so they know what it does to their body.
i personally think smoking is bad. this article is very informative about how bad smoking is. cigarrettes and every other drug is bad.
we are 12 now if we start occasional smoking we will be at the same risk as daily smokers. Then if we smoke to many occasionally then we could become daily smokers too.
i agree with this entry and drugs are bad. why would you want to do something that will shorten your life.
I found this article to be quite informative, and i believe everyone should be aware of the consaquences of tobacco use. SMOKING KILLS!!!
This article is a good way to show people how bad smoking is, and what consequences it can cause you. I can't believe someone would sacrifice everything they have just to smoke. It's horrid.
I have social smoked for about 2 years and I can honestly say my health is fine. I play sport, I can concentrate on my work and studies and I don't ever get cravings. I don't think it's as bad as heavy smoking although I do see the risk if you become a heavy smoker. I think only some people can be classed as social smokers. I haven't had a smoke in over 2 weeks and seem to cope well.
most dangerous diseases is to cure is drugs addiction... iI hate it..

I hate smokers because its shows easy way for cancer

Very nice, Great post.
Wow! You guys do great work. Thanks for all that you do for those in need.
Thank you for sharing this site.
well i guess there no point in cutting back then
"Unfortunately, smoking fewer cigarettes does not reduce the risk of smoking-related health problems."
you know im pretty sure it definitely does
@criswell Wish we could help you get a copy of the photo used in this post for your classroom, but it is a stock photo, not a poster. Great idea to make a poster illustrating the brain impacts of smoking like this, though! Could see it perhaps being a student project.

The automotive business is alive and well in our country, not only due to the fact that there are more cars than people although that is a good start. We keep producing them at a rate of about 17 million per year. America is said to be in love with their cars, this is in fact hard to deny with just a little observation of the average person. Since people love their cars you might consider an auto appearance business. They call it auto detailing. You have heard the term, making people's cars shine. But there is more to it than that. It can be an excellent business.
Let's say that money is not a problem and that you already own a freestanding building, or want to get a fixed site facility detailing shop and you want to really attack the market and start with a bang. Then what? Well you can go with the market leaders with a proven system. You may wish to buy a franchise from Detail Plus or Ziebart. They both have websites, which are easy to remember;
Each has an array of options which range from a 4 bay to a 12 bay Super Center, with co-brands, add-on services, etc. These are two of the industry powerhouses, have everything you can think of and then some, and they are good at it.
Detail Plus run by Bud Abraham, who is heavily involved in the carwash industry with over 30 years experience. Bud runs seminars and writes articles and manufactures equipment. Detail Plus is based out of Portland, OR. Detail Plus will either sell you a franchise or equipment. They will help you carve out a market niche and customize your business and have an incredible and deadly track record with regards to industry knowledge and market share. Their team at Detail Plus has well over 100 years experience and spans almost three generations in the industry. Their franchisees and customers are usually extremely successful due to the efficient nature of their equipment and excellent training programs.
Ziebart can easily claim the oldest and most well established detailing and aftermarket rust proofing franchise on the Planet with nearly 500 units in 45 countries. They were originally established in 1954 and bought out Tidy Car in 1986, which was established in the 1940's. This makes for 6 decades of service in the auto industry, so take notice. This World-Wide company has a definite and well-established market niche. Thomas Wolfe, Chairman and CEO, has signed deals with Speedy Auto Glass (windshield repair and replacement) as well as the established Rhino Linings Franchise System (spray in bed liners). These co-brands have created a bonanza for current franchises of their system. Most franchisees are claimed easily gross well over half a million a year.
You might want to take a look see at some of the prospectuses in the auto detailing franchise sector? It is just a thought, God made dirt, he must have known something because to this day it gets all over everything making auto detailing a very nice repetitive business, think about it.

Sydney artist Emma Varga was first enchanted with glass when studying at the Applied Arts University in Belgrade and then designing and making decorative glass 'production and one-off ' as a freelance artist and designer and working in a glass factory in former Yugoslavia. Varga's fascination with the potential of glass as a means of artistic expression grew in proportion to the time she spent working with the medium. She was a highly experienced and skilled glass artist when she moved to Australia in 1995. The diverse body of sculptural work that she has since created is a tribute to her passion for working with glass, her extraordinary energy but also a result of mastery of her 'multiple-layer' technique of choice: she cuts tiles or strips from special sheets of glass, decorates them with paint of glass powder, stacks in required shapes and fuses in the kiln for up to two weeks. It is only when the works are meticulously ground and polished that they come to life.
Whether using glass tiles, or more recently tiny glass fragments and rods, Varga's techniques are clearly highly complex and laborious. But she has no fear of complexity and in fact she revels in it. She compares her creative process to a highly focused but remarkably calming game in which she 'plays' with hundreds, or at times thousands, of glass elements that are strategically patterned and coloured and then assembled with precision, at times verging on bravura, to achieve the intended internal energy, light flow and pattern. Always transparent, most of Varga's works are quite geometrical in form and architectonic in internal patterning and 'construction' 'she has an enviable reputation for seeing and thinking in 3D.
When coloured glass was developed in antiquity, it was treasured for its capacity to imitate rare stones. When clear glass was made during the Renaissance, it was compared to natural rock crystal, a type of quartz highly prized by artists and connoisseurs. Nature has continued to inspire glass makers ever since and Varga also acknowledges it as a major source of inspiration ' she loves the northern beaches area where she lives and never ceases to be moved by the spectacular ocean and bush panorama offered by the spacious windows of her studio.
For some time, it was the colour red that reigned supreme in Varga's work inspired by Australian sunsets and bushfires alongside occasional ocean blues, her tribute to the Collaroy lagoon. Her more recent works focus on a palette of fresh greens, pinks and shades of fuchsia inspired by nature's 'quiet achievers': grass, flowering weeds and creepers and other small 'amassed' plants with a big impact on how we see 'everyday' nature.
Emma Varga is fascinated by the clarity and transparency of glass and the possibilities of freezing within it 3D images inspired by nature. Along with the new directions her work has lately taken, Varga has developed a new technique of fusing and casting glass sheets.
It is her past factory experience and vast repertoire of techniques that allows her to manipulate large slabs of glass, sometimes as many as 100 to 200 sheet of glass piled up and fused to create the 3D imagery she has visualised. Based on 9 years of experimentation, Varga's multiple layers fusing technique enables her to create and gain control over the 3-dimensional images enclosed within the large transparent glass objects. The process begins with the cutting of thousands of glass elements from clear and coloured glass sheets according to complex 3-D plans. These are then fused together in stages, before they are ground and polished to reveal the finished sculpture with its fine details and veil-like structures floating in the sea of pure clear glass'. The latter extend Varga's consummate skills acquired from her long experience working with the traditional Venetian, Czech and Scandinavian glass techniques. Thus Varga extends and applies a multiplicity of glass art techniques to achieve her ends: sculptural objects of transformative allure that define – and commemorate – the emotional and geographic milestones of her life.
Her present large geometric forms express a depth of tranquility and repose, towering and pointing vertically, yet reveling in the celebration of colour and razor-sharp patterning.
The very act of encasing monochromatic patterns within clear glass walls is itself an act of protection, of preservation: of memory, of colour and its associations, of acts of violence, of fear, and of love.
Dr Noris Ioannou: excerpt from the article "Red: Emma Varga's (glass) art & life, Craft Arts International magazine, issue #67, July 2006.
The technique of "multiple layers fusing" has been gradually developed by Emma Varga during the past 14 years. It enables her to create and to gain control over three dimensional images inside large transparent glass objects. To make each of these sculptural objects, it is necessary to cut thousands of tiny glass elements from clear and transparent coloured glass sheets and combine them with glass frits and stringers. The sculptural glass objects are made from 20–400 thin transparent glass layers; glass mosaic elements, colored frits and stringers are assembled on each sheet, according to a complicated three-dimensional plan. These are then fused together in stages.
It takes two weeks to fire and slowly cool down large sculptural works, then a further two weeks to grind and polish all of the surfaces to perfection. Only then it is finally possible to see the inside; all the fine details and veil-like structures floating in the sea of clear glass. The diverse body of sculptural work that she has created is a result of mastery of her complex and laborious "multiple-layer" technique. Her creative process is a highly focused but incredibly calming game in which she "plays" with thousands of tiny glass elements that are strategically assembled with precision to achieve the intended internal energy, light flow and pattern.

usachurches necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 201 diseños de 38 diseñadores freelance.
USAChurches.org is a detailed directory of Christian churches in the United States. We provide a simple and informative resource to assist people in finding a church home or place of worship in their local community that is right for them. We developed our site in 2000 to serve the Columbus, OH metro area and we expanded in 2005 to serve people nationwide.
We are currently seeking either a refresh of our current logo or a completely new design.
We serve two audiences:
First and foremost, we serve visitors searching for a Christian church or place of worship. We list Christian churches of all denominations and sizes located in the United States.
We also serve church leaders and members, seeking to promote their church online and lead more visitors to their church.
Please visit http://www.usachurches.org to view our current logo.
Our current logo includes both an icon with a cross and a wordmark with our name. We like the idea behind our logo, but agree that something new and fresh is needed.
We would like a simple and unique logo that is either a refresh of our current logo or a new design.
We like our current color scheme, which includes hex #000066, #CCCCFF, #666699, #FFFFFF, and #CCCCCC. The same colors may be used, although we are open to new ideas.
Our name USAChurches.org must continue to be incorporated into our logo. It's also important that the .org in our name continue to stand out at the end, as we want visitors to remember how to find us.
The new logo may or may not include a cross (or other symbol/icon) in the design.
Do NOT include our tag line - "Looking for a church? Find a church today!" - in the design.
Our logo will likely continue to appear against a dark background on our website, but we would also like you to include a version that would present well against a white background. It may also be used on business cards and other materials.
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo.
We will need:
1) Full colored, CMYK file for the printed file formats (EPS, TIFF);
2) JPG and layered .psd (RGB) for web formats;
3) Black and reversed-out version for use in other situations.

Deke McClelland
Photoshop expert, trainer, author.
Check out dekePod, a video podcast series with Deke McClelland.
Electronic publishing pioneer Deke McClelland is a popular lecturer on Adobe Photoshop and the larger realm of computer graphics and design. He has hosted the interactive "Video Workshop" CD that shipped with Photoshop Versions 7, CS, and CS2, as well as hundreds of hours of tutorial-style video training for industry leaders lynda.com and Total Training. In addition to his video work, Deke has written 84 books translated into 24 languages, with more than 4 million copies in print.
One of the most award-winning writers in the technology market, Deke received the Benjamin Franklin Award for Best Computer Book in 1989. Since then, he has garnered more than 20 honors, including seven independent citations from the Computer Press Association. In 2002, he was inducted into the Photoshop Hall of Fame.
In 2004 Deke created the One-on-One™ book series, which uses video, step-by-step exercises, and hundreds of full-color illustrations to provide readers with the closest thing possible to private instruction from a recognized expert. These ambitious, self-paced guides include the bestselling Adobe Photoshop CS2 One-on-One and Adobe InDesign CS2 One-on-One. Late in 2006 Deke teamed up with vanguard online training company lynda.com to bring the One-on-One training strategy to a line of video products, beginning with Photoshop CS3 Beta One-on-One Preview, the first series available for the public beta of Photoshop CS3. In addition to the full 20-plus hour Photoshop CS3 One-on-One, his plans include Illustrator One-on-One and InDesign One-on-One. Among Deke's current lynda.com videos are Photoshop Elements 5 Essentials and the #1 ranked Photoshop CS2 Channels and Masks (available for immediate viewing at www.lynda.com/deke).
Deke is an Adobe Certified Expert, a member of the PhotoshopWorld Instructor Dream Team, and a regular speaker for the Photoshop Fling cruise seminars. Deke lives in Boulder, Colorado with his wife and two super-powered boys.
Deke blogs at:
"This book is beautifully designed, and uses timeless typography techniques.... I enjoyed the subtle design details, such as how the figures are positioned on the page organically, and not always relegated strictly to the sidebar. Some of the large artistic figures even bleed off the page, which is unusual for a technical book. This type of graphic treatment makes the book feel more fun and magazine-like, and less like a technical software book."
"Nice reading...It is very comprehensive and includes lots of material for beginner to intermediate users."
"In Deke McClellands new book, youll find the perfect instruction manual. Instead of a laborious this is the text tool, and when you click it, you can type text method of instruction, you get practical real work examples. With plenty of illustrations and screen-shots, its easy for the beginner or the advanced Photoshop user to follow along and duplicate the results."
"When it comes to Photoshop Deke McClelland is clearly the guru's guru."
"The book presents excellent coverage of Photoshops essential skills as well as in-depth discussions of less mainstream topics."
"..a powerful pick for any Photoshop user!"
"Are you an independent graphic artist, designer or digital photographer: professional or amateur? If you are, then this book is for you. Author Deke McClelland , has done an outstanding job of writing a book that walks you through Photoshop just as if he was teaching you in a classroom or in a corporate consulting environment."
"I have enjoyed and profited from every Deke McClelland book/video package I have picked up. "
"If you're already using Elements and need to explore more of the functions it offers, Deke's book illustrates some great ways to explore creativity with Photoshop Elements. "
"Overall I was very much impressed with Photoshop CS4: The Missing Manual. I intend to keep it close at hand from now on."
"All-in-all, this is a terrific offering from one of the top photoshop guru's. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to expand their repertoire and learn new, time saving techniques in Adobe Photoshop."
"This title will tell you everything you need to know about the creative and practical capabilities of Photoshop's channels and layer masks, all at your own pace, which makes it an invaluable resource. "
"So this book seems the most current must-have, uthoritative source for learning all thing Channels and Masks. Deke has outdone himself on this one!"
"Good job, Deke McClelland! "
"Photoshop CS4 Channels & Masks is presented in usual McClelland style - a little bit humorous, a little bit serious, and a whole lot of informative education...
If you want to learn the techniques of the selection masters, then I very highly recommend Photoshop CS4 Channels & Masks."
"Tips & Tricks is a good step-by-step reference for common image editing chores that might be just beyond a patrons grasp. "
"As a classroom supplement, online course text or just a personal workbook, it can't be beat!"
"This practical and considerate title leaves little to chance, dissecting important features and functions into meticulous, bite-sized resources for readers to follow at their own pace. Essentially, this title will become an integrated training device to accompany your new software..."
"...All this makes it more than a book, its a multimedia experience where you can see the face and hear the voice of the author of this excellent Photoshop tutorial guide. Whether you're a beginner or a Photoshop pro, you're bound to pick up new tricks from using this book. "
"I like to use two different book series to learn my software: the Classroom in a Book series from rival publisher Peachpit, and these one-on-one guides from O'Reilly. However, if you put me on an island and I just had a computer, software, and some books. I would choose the one-on-ones to bring with me. Mainly, because they have always had a much better method of teaching practical application of the softwares functionality rather than just teaching the interface. With books from Deke, you know you will leave with more than a handful of golden nuggets that will help you work with the software better, and faster."

History of Pueblo
Native American groups once settled at the confluence of the Arkansas River and Fountain Creek due to the warm winter climate of the area and its strategic location as a portal to the plains. The Arkansas River was for a long time the northern-most extension of Spain and then Mexico, and was visited by French fur trappers in the 1700s, and a Mormon mission in the 1840s. In 1854, a small settlement on the Northern flank of the river called El Pueblo, settled by a mix of Northern New Mexican and Anglos, was attacked by Ute Indians on Christmas Day. 54 people were massacred and settlement abated for a short time. However, the prime location on two rivers continued to draw settlers, and in 1870 Pueblo became a town under the Colorado Territory. While Pueblo awaited the arrival of the railroad, General William Jackson Palmer decided to create and plat a new town on the south side of the Arkansas River. He named the town South Pueblo, and planned placement of his railroad depot there, circumventing local taxes and fees in Pueblo.
Palmer, one of the railroad expansion developers of the western movement, dreamt of a North-South rail access from the U.S. to Mexico. His Town of South Pueblo used names of small Mexican towns to emphasize a Mexican-American connection. Palmer also realized that the west could not be settled without rail. By 1881, Palmer had constructed the first Bessemer furnace south of the Arkansas River. The town of Bessemer was platted in 1886 to house the steel mill workers and businesses, giving Pueblo now four distinct cities. Known for its steel mill, Pueblo also capitalized on its location to function as a regional smelting hub. The Philadelphia Smelter was constructed on what is today called Goat Hill. The Smelter's position on a small bluff created an imposing industrial visage shadowed only by the steel mill.
Pueblo capitalized on a number of other industries. Budding railroad companies made Pueblo a hub, creating an immense rail yard still located below the bluff along the Arkansas River. North Pueblo was soon home to throngs of railroad workers, while steel mill workers continued to settle Bessemer to the south. East of Fountain Creek was platted as East Pueblo, where a quiet workers' retreat of modest Victorian cottages was developed for the thousands of smelter workers . A brewery was developed in the 1880s in East Pueblo. Pueblo was seen as a great improvement to East Coast industrial towns, as workers in Pueblo could afford a small cottage and enjoy some breathing room as well as many parks.
By the 1890s, Pueblo was becoming the largest city in Colorado, and upper-class citizens began to look for ways to show their wealth and create items that they believed proper cities should have. Pueblo became "A Prosperous City with a Lasting Legacy," a moniker that would stick with the city until the 1930s. It became known as the "Pittsburgh of the West" in the late 19th century. Parks were quickly in demand, and in an effort to imitate the Exposition Movement so prominent displayed at the Paris World's Fair of 1889, North Pueblo constructed Mineral Palace to lure visitors to Pueblo and their North Side housing developments. The Mineral Palace eerily mirrored the extravagant buildings of the Chicago World's Fair buildings built in 1893. The Palace lacked heat and began to deteriorate within a year. When the silver market crashed, depression affected many Puebloans, and by 1896, Mineral Palace was converted into a city park with winding paths, elaborate plantings and exotic trees. The City Beautiful movement was instrumental in park development across Pueblo and the community now made serious efforts to create a community full of white marble, blonde brick, and evocative Greek and Roman buildings. The "new" (current) Pueblo County Courthouse is the epitome of the Pueblo Beautiful Movement, and still stands at 215 W. 10th Street.
The Victorian building boom of the 1880s and 1890s created neighborhoods of small cottages and many mansion homes across the jurisdiction. The Thatchers, a North Pueblo upper-class family, erected Hillcrest and Rosemount mansions. Rosemount Mansion is now a popular Pueblo museum. South Pueblo erected many other palaces, including the Orman-Adams mansion, hewn from decorative orange sandstone. Nearby, the Stickney house, the Galligan House, the Black House and many other mansions are now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Pueblo constructed many modest cottages next to stately mansions - a reminder of its humble working class heritage.
By the early 1900s, parks were in every neighborhood and workers enjoyed utilizing them for recreation. Created alongside a manmade lake to supply water to the steel mill, Minnequa Park developed as a small scale recreation club and amusement park on steel mill property. A nascent trolley system connected the park with other parts of Pueblo.
The Colorado Fuel and Iron company (C.F. & I.), the largest of Pueblo's steel mills, was purchased by the Rockefeller family and Jay Gould in 1903. The new owners started a massive program to modernize the plant and improve conditions in the smelter and numerous coal mining town across southern Colorado. C.F. &I. built schools and hospitals throughout the region. However, their progressive modernization had its price, and the company was hemorrhaging money. Italian and Southern Europeans immigrated in waves around 1900, dotting the community with hundreds of benevolent associations and neighborhood grocery stores. Neighborhoods with names like Goat Hill, Peppersauce Bottoms, The Grove, Bojon Town and Eilers forged identities. Race relations were not always ideal, but access to jobs, affordable housing and recreation kept ethnic tensions lower than in other industrialized cities.
Pueblo was the jewel of Colorado until the summer of 1921. In June of that year, heavy rains began to overwhelm mountain reservoirs and swell the Arkansas River. A flood levee had recently been improved and citizens believed themselves safe from all floods. A massive storm unleashed its fury on the area, and the reservoirs along the Arkansas river gave way. Flood alarms went out and people moved to high ground. However, the community's poorest populations lived on low ground near the railroad, and were decimated as the levees crumbled. Union Avenue, the main businesses district in Pueblo, was under 10 feet of water. Railcars and bloated horses floated past once prosperous storefronts. Exact numbers were not kept, but it is speculated that hundreds were killed. Pueblo's entire commercial district was wiped out.
The flood was so powerful that it changed the course of the Arkansas River to its present location, nearly a half mile to the south. A small force of Army soldiers came to help clear the debris, staying for 6 months. Pueblo merchants banded together to help recover from their losses. A low-lying steel smelter was washed away in an instant, never to be rebuilt. All the bridges connecting Pueblo's neighborhoods were gone, too. Out of necessity, Pueblo moved its commerce north to Main Street, which became a neon-lit center of business. However, Union Avenue was largely untouched until the 1980s.
Never one to give up, Pueblo worked itself out of the flood with very little help. In the 1920s, another steel boom began. The entire city filled in with elegantly built craftsman homes for the thousands of steel mill workers. The automobile and trolley connected all neighborhoods. Soon thereafter, however, the Great Depression hit Pueblo hard. Labor and economic problems plagued C.F. & I. throughout the decade. Pueblo received a substantial portion of WPA/ PWA/CWA and other federal assistance funds from the Roosevelt administration. "Make Work" programs constructed a beautiful Day Nursery building and several parks improvements all across the city. Many hand crafted, locally quarried stone walls were constructed throughout the community. These buildings and structures still stand, accenting Pueblo's streets and parks with a rustic 1930s architecture. The work can especially be seen in Mineral Palace Park and City Park. A photo team recorded every intersection in 1938, leaving Pueblo with an incredible snapshot of the city during the end of the depression.
Having a steel mill meant that when WWII began, Pueblo experienced another boom in the 1940s. This time, migrant New Mexican laborers and Mexican immigrants came to the city to work the mill and associated industries. While Hispanic immigrants had always been a part of Pueblo, they were marginalized and shoved to the fringe neighborhoods until the 1940s and 1950s. The influx of immigrants settled neighborhoods thinned by the depression, especially Pueblo's east side. Pueblo geared up for war with an Army Air Base and numerous bomber training crews. C.F. & I. cranked out record numbers of munitions. Small minimalist cottages popped up around the city to house the massive influx of workers. The Pueblo Ordinance Depot was constructed east of town, an industry that would go on to employ 3000 people until the 1980s.
It was not until the 1950s that Pueblo hit its zenith. Schools swelled with the baby boom, and aging schools began to be torn down and replaced with "modern" buildings. Fires and careless demolition destroyed a number of the city's Victorian and City Beautiful buildings downtown. Post War suburbs grew to both the north and south. Because nearly every family owned an automobile in Pueblo, people quickly moved beyond Pueblo's historic neighborhoods. With this outward migration from the downtown area, the Urban Renewal Authority proposed demolishing all of Union Avenue and downtown due to their neglected state. The plan was closely defeated by the voters, and Main Street continued to thrive until the Pueblo Mall opened in the early 1980s. Taverns proliferated and Pueblo soon boasted more bars than any other city in Colorado. The taverns had numerous functions as social centers, banks, and post-steel mill reprieves. Taverns around town had reserved seats for regular customers, and drinks waiting for them on the bar after their shifts at the mill. One such establishment, Gus' Place, is now nationally famous for keeping the character of a neighborhood bar since it was opened in 1934, and is now also a local landmark.
The 1960s and 1970s saw good working conditions for the people at the mill but globalization began to stress American steel manufacturers. Latent racial tension also boiled over into a prominent La Raza movement among Hispanic residents in the 1960s and 1970s, creating tensions that have only recently subsided.
The steel crash and recession of 1982 sparked an overnight depression in Pueblo. Unemployment reached 20% and some wondered if the city would become a massive ghost town. Again, refusing to give up, citizens and elected officials worked to reinvent the community and pull out of the economic downturn. Forming the Pueblo Economic Development Corporation, City leaders attracted new industry to town. Realizing that Pueblo had to grow beyond manufacturing and continual boom and bust cycles, Pueblo embarked upon a massive urban revitalization effort. Citizens approved creation of a new downtown district, the Historic Arkansas Riverwalk Project. With the development of the Riverwalk, Pueblo's downtown started a rapid transformation. New residential and retail development efforts are beginning to pay off, and both Union Avenue and Downtown are quickly coming back to life. Realizing that Pueblo's roots are in the manufacturing sector, Pueblo is home to several new industries and new technology development. Capitalizing on a New Energy Economy, Pueblo is undergoing a conscious effort to go green. Recent newcomers to Pueblo, Vestas, an internationally-known wind tower manufacturer, opened in 2010, producing 300-foot tall wind towers in the world's largest facility of its kind. Pueblo's steel mill, still in operation, is now Colorado's biggest recycler, re-purposing scrap steel.
Celebrating our diverse cultural heritage, Pueblo now highlights our distinctively unique Mirasol green chiles and amazing Mexican food cuisine. The annual Chile and Frijoles festival is held each year held on the Riverwalk, bringing in over 100,000 visitors to Pueblo. Immediately east of Pueblo, the Saint Charles Mesa boasts some of the finest agricultural land in Colorado, and as such, Pueblo now boasts three farmers markets. At an economic renaissance, Pueblo is home to thriving small businesses. One business in particular, Solar Roast Coffee, has gained Pueblo international attention. With this re-birth of Pueblo's economy, a flourishing creative arts community has developed in the communities and galleries now grace old grocery stores and mill worker cottages. Unlike Santa Fe and Denver, Pueblo has become an affordable place to live. Pueblo offers tremendous opportunity to recreate and residents enjoy the feel of a small town and the amenities of a large city. Tapping into our community's can-do attitude, Pueblo has re-invented itself, and is a mecca of industry and arts, serving as the commercial center of Southern Colorado and a gateway to the Southwest.

Light like a feather, perfect as usual
We know how important proper fitting is. For this purpose we have applied elastic bands in the rib and highly stretchy yarn. Therefore we have obtained a universal size that can easily
be fitted to the size and shape of your head and give you the feeling of lightness you have not experienced before.
Wrap yourself in gentleness
We know the great power of gentleness. That is why we have replaced lead dyes with natural ones. We have also simplified the technology of yarn production.
What for? To provide you with this unique feeling of overwhelming gentleness. Forget about "scratching" products. Forget about hats, snoods, scarves and gloves that are doing everything to make your life unpleasant.
Out of respect for nature
We love nature just as you do. Therefore even though the fluffy pompoms in our hats seem as if they were made of natural fabrics, you can be sure that only artificial and fully ecological yarns were used for their production.
Thanks to this, they can be washed and dried many times and you can be sure that even in such minor issues your actions are environmentally friendly.
Endless joy
Thanks to the stabilisation process that increases the fabric's shrink-resistance and the durability of materials used, you can enjoy using our products even longer.
Now you can only put them into a washing machine and then dry to be able to wear them again. And they will still look as great as on the day when you first got them.
