FARINA – The Lady Cougars avenged an earlier loss this season to upset top-seeded North Clay on Thursday in the championship match of the South Central Regional.
After falling behind early, No. 2 South Central rallied for a 25-21, 18-25, 25-19 victory to advance to next Tuesday's Lebanon Sectional, and the opponent for the 7 p.m. match will be quite the challenge – as the Lady Cougars (17-16) will meet Cisne (31-2).
Vandalia sophomore Hannah Blythe started off her first appearance at the Illinois High School Association state tennis tournament with a victory, but that would be the only in her first state appearance.
Playing last Thursday morning, Blythe was a 6-3, 6-4, winner against Haannah Seaton, a junior from Mt. Carmel, in the first round of the tournament.
ST. ELMO – Neither team held a lead of more than four points, as Vandalia and St. Elmo/Brownstown battled to an exciting finish in Monday's first-round regional tournament game.
But despite all of the offense that created the back-and-forth matchup, it was a hitting error that allowed the final point to drop between three Lady Vandals and give SEB a 27-25, 25-21 victory.
ST. ELMO – Though Vandalia served six aces on the night, it was the diligent serve-receive of St. Elmo/Brownstown that helped propel the Lady Eagles to a regional victory on Monday.
Fifth-seeded SEB took down the No. 4 Lady Vandals, 27-25, 25-21, in a first round game at St. Elmo High School.
Only half of those aces were the result of errors committed by sophomore Gabi Moore and junior Elizabeth Guerrero, the two players who coach Elise Asher has relied on to field most of the serves since the Mattoon Tournament finished.
ST. ELMO – For St. Elmo/Brownstown, the height of Altamont's players was the major concern coming into Tuesday's semifinal game at the Class 2A St. Elmo Regional.
Turned out that it would be a little more complex than that.
Top-seeded Altamont served 14 aces to go along with several blocks and thunderous kills in defeating fifth-seeded SEB, 25-10, 25-13, in the Lady Eagles' most lopsided loss of the season.
It was pretty clear that beating undefeated Greenville would be a daunting task for the one-win Vandals, and the first half proved it.
The Comets racked up all 63 of their points in the first half en route to a 63-34 win last Friday, extending their winning streak against the Vandals to 15 games.
South Central will be the only team from the area to play for a regional championship in volleyball, after holding off a hard-charging Patoka team on Tuesday.
The No. 2 Lady Cougars came away with a 25-23, 30-28 victory in Tuesday's Class 1A regional semifinal at South Central High School, and will battle No. 1 seed North Clay in Thursday's championship match.
That will be a rematch of a game played on Sept. 26. North Clay was a 25-19, 10-25, 25-19 winner that night.
FARINA – Two local teams celebrated breast cancer awareness month on Wednesday, taking part in the second Volley for the Cure game of the month in this county.
South Central defeated Patoka, 25-11, 25-11, to even its record at 15-15, but more importantly, the schools and their fans teamed up to raise $2,154.85 for the Susan G. Koman Foundation after Vandalia held a successful game for the Fayette County Relay for Life earlier in the month.
Patoka senior Johnnie Clift has been selected as the Most Valuable Player in the Egyptian-Illini Conference.
Clift, the second straight Warrior to take the honor, was dominating as a pitcher during the EIC season, going 3-1 with a 1.03 earned-run average in 27 innings.
He struck out 34, while walking just four, and allowed four earned runs on 18 hits.
At the plate, he hit .286 during conference games, but had a .417 on-base percentage and scored four times. He drove in five runs.
Many athletes who spent their high school years in Fayette County have moved on to play for college or professional teams. Below are the athletes who recently made headlines.
Spencer Patton • Pitcher • Caneros de Los Mochis
•Oct. 25 – Patton, a South Central graduate, earned a save for the Caneros de Los Mochis in a 6-3 victory against Guasave in Caribbean Winter League action. Patton struck out a batter in his inning of work. He is a Kansas City Royals prospect.

Not Yet Rated - Tammy Woehler
I understand why there are ratings on movies, but at times I feel they are either too unrealistic or violating personal rights. What I mean by this is, there are movies that I agree with the NC-17 rating. No child 17 and under should see it. But then, there are others that I do think 17 year olds can handle it. Especially in today's world. At this point in time, children see and hear more and more vulgar things than many parents have even saw or heard. Kids have been exposed to so much, such as violent and/or sexual video games. Like the popular Grand Theft Auto 4 that just came out. It's filled with explicit language, actions and sights that kids shouldn't see, but that's the age that it's most popular with.
The ratings are somewhat unfair, on the other hand. I think it's up to a parent or the individual themselves to decide what they should and should not watch. Yes, five year olds more than likely can't make that proper judgement on their own, but that's where the parents come in. But then a 15, 16, or 17 year old should be able to make that decision. They are old enough to have their permit or driver's license, they should be able to see a movie if they want, regardless of the rating. The rating shouldn't prevent people from watching films, it should warn them. It can still be there for a suggestion, but in the end, I think it's all the person's responsibility of what they watch.

The North Carolina Court of Appeals has upheld the second-degree murder conviction of a man who killed an Oak Island mother of three in a drunken driving crash in Southport three years ago.
Daniel Brennick, 26, was convicted of second-degree murder by a Brunswick County jury Nov. 30, 2012. He also was convicted of felony death by motor vehicle and driving while impaired.
The appeals court upheld his murder conviction in the death of 38-year-old Satu Harris on Dec. 3, according to a news release from the District Attorney's Office.

Watch: Edwyn Collins - 'Do It Again' ft. Alex Kapranos and Nick McCarthy
Last weekend's Bowlie 2 weekender at Butlin's in Minehead was quite fantastic. One of the undoubted highlights was Edwyn Collins' performance on Centre Stage on Saturday afternoon, with Teenage Fanclub as his backing band. A couple of other co-stars appeared too, including Alex Kapranos and Nick McCarthy of Franz Ferdinand. Again, it was brilliant.
Why this is particularly relevant at the moment is because Edwyn's got a new video out, for 'Do It Again', taken from his new record Losing Sleep. Who does the video feature? Yep, Alex Kapranos and Nick McCarthy from Franz Ferdinand, among other projects. Have a glimpse at it below...

Reconstructed oxide structures stable in air: Silicate monolayers on hexagonal SiC surfaces
Ultrathin oxide layers on hexagonal SiCsurfaces were studied using low-energy electron diffraction(LEED) and Auger electron spectroscopy(AES). SiC(0001) and samples were ex situ prepared using thermal hydrogen etching or a microwave powered hydrogen plasma treatment. A well ordered reconstructedsurface is observed by LEED immediately upon introduction into vacuum. The samples contain oxygen of approximately one layer equivalent bonded to Si atoms as indicated by AES. From a full dynamical LEEDstructure analysis carried out for the surface the crystallographic structure is determined: The silicon oxide is arranged as a silicate layer on top of the SiC substrate, forming rings of periodicity with twofold coordinated oxygen atoms in the topmost position. The oxygen incorporation into the surface presumably proceeds via rapid oxidation in air of the well ordered topmost substrate bilayer. The extreme stability of the resulting surface reconstruction is caused by the absence of dangling bonds in the surface terminating silicate layer. On the SiC(0001) surface a similar silicate type layer terminated by its oxygen atoms is found by the LEED analysis. However, the adlayer and substrate are bonded via a linear Si–O–Si bond.

The ratings on Red Electrica de Espana S.A. (REE), the owner and operator of most of the high-voltage electricity transmission grid in Spain, reflect REE's strong business position based on its near-monopoly of electricity transmission (98% of the 400 kilovolt lines), and the strategic importance of its core operations. A supportive regulatory regime providing stable and predictable cash flows underpins the ratings. These strengths are partly offset by REE's debt funding and diversification into speculative businesses, such as telecommunications, and its plans to continue expansion

Not just For Gardeners
Crabtree & Evelyn Gardeners Hand Therapy
Member Name: Doglovers
Crabtree & Evelyn Gardeners Hand Therapy
Date: 10/03/13
Advantages: Rich and easily absorbed
Disadvantages: Pricy
I don't remember buying this hand cream, so someone must have bought it for me as a gift. As I don't do much gardening I tucked it away in a drawer and when I was having a clear out I discovered it and decided to give it a try.
I am glad I did as this is a fabulous hand cream and a multi purpose one as I also use this on my feet.
I don't know why but I thought Crabtree and Evelyn had been around for a century as to me they conjure up an image of products that were used in the 2 world wars , slightly old fashioned and genteel. However they actually started in business 40 years ago in the 1970's and their heritage is a brand that uses ingredients from the natural world of fruits flowers and plants.
The Packaging
This came boxed and the gardeners hand therapy cream is in one of those metal tubes in a not very attractive tan colour which I am not keen on. I don't like these tubes as no matter how carefully I dispense the cream the tube becomes creased and it is difficult to get the lid back on and sometimes the tubes split. So not my favourite dispenser.
The Product
This is a thick white cream that has a strong almost medicinal smell. It contains shea butter which explains the rich consistency, glycerin clover and chamomile. It also contains lavender sage rosemary and thyme of which lavender is the strongest scent but the other herbs also come through.
It is very rich so a little goes a long way and it seems to absorb quickly. It leaves my hands looking nourished, feeling really soft and smelling of herbs. It feels like it could be greasy, but it just leaves a soft sheen which I think always makes skin look healthier.
I also use this on my feet as I was applying to my hands one day and I dispensed too much so decided to rub the excess on my feet and it transformed them from a dry slightly crocodile appearance to normal with one application.
Would I Recommend
Yes this is a super hand and foot cream that really transforms dry rough hands and feet. I find the scent a little strong when I first apply especially on my hands, but it dissipates after a while, so is not too overpowering.
I would not limit this to using after gardening as I use this after I have done my cleaning as my hands feel rough after coming into contact with cleaning products dust and dirt.
It also seems to last a long time on my hands and even after washing them they still feel soft, so it definitely penetrates the skin.
I also like the richness of the cream and the fact that it doesn't leave my hands feeling slippery plus it absorbs quickly.
It is expensive but you don't need to use much ad it seems to last for ages. I will buy some more , but not in the metal tube as it has split and dispenses product out of the split which is really annoying.
I would not have chosen this myself as the tube is not that attractive, but whoever bought me tis did me a real favour as it transforms workmanlike hands back to ladylike.
From Crabtree and Evelyn is £14 for a 100 ml. At the moment you can buy 4 x 50g tubes for £22 in a mix and match offer, which is tempting as my friend swears by their La Source hand cream. I would recommend buying the pump action size which is £16.08 for 250g on Amazon or £20 from Crabtree and Evelyn.
Summary: Perfect for rough hands and feet

Maraniss' book focuses on pivotal 1960 Olympics
While millions of people focus attention on the Summer Olympics unfolding in Beijing, bestselling author David Maraniss -- who wrote the definitive biography of Packers coaching legend Vince Lombardi, "When Pride Still Mattered" -- casts a spotlight on events that took place nearly five decades ago.
In his book, "Rome 1960: The Olympics That Changed the World," Maraniss tells the stories of standout athletes like Rafer Johnson, Wilma Rudolph, Cassius Clay and Ethiopian marathoner Abebe Bikila interspersed with sociological, political and historical context that make a fascinating time capsule.
OnMilwaukee.com caught up with Maraniss, a Madison native and Pulitzer Prize winner, just before the 2008 Summer Games to discuss his book and the characters in it.
OnMilwaukee.com: Tell me about your Madison roots.
David Maraniss: I grew up there. I went to Madison west high school and the university of Wisconsin in the late '60s early '70s. I came back 30 years later with my wife, who also grew up there, to research a book on Vietnam in the '60s, my book "They Marched into Sunlight."
We lived there for a summer and realized we could go home again. We bought a house there in 2003 and we've spent summers there ever since. It's just great. I love being there.
OMC: In the course of promoting this book, you've been traveling around the country, waking up in a different city each morning and answering many of the same questions over and over again. Do you feel like a presidential candidate?
DM: (laughs) No. The other day, a guy asked me if there were any parallels between the 1960 Rome Olympics and the 1960 Miss America Pageant. I had never been asked that one before.
OMC: Were there parallels?
DM: Not that I'm aware of.
OMC: Is it true that the idea for this book came about while you were researching your biography on Roberto Clemente?
DM: It did. I did the book on Clemente, the great Pittsburgh Pirate, and his first great season was 1960, the year they won the pennant and took the World Series from the Yankees. As I was researching that book, looking through old sports sections from August and September of that year, I kept seeing these amazing names -- Cassius Clay, Wilma Rudolph, Abebe Bikela, Rafer Johnson, Jerry West and Oscar Robertson -- that drew me too it. When I realized that through those Games in Rome I could illuminate history and sociology at the same time and put together everything I love at the same time, that's when I really dug into it.
OMC: You're known for your biographies on Bill Clinton, Lombardi and Clemente. With all the great characters to choose from in the 1960 Olympics, were you tempted to focus on a single person rather than take a more broad focus?
DM: It was very tempting, you're right. There are probably four or five stories in this book that could have been separate books. What I specialize in and what I love to do is make the reader understand the context of a specific time through the drama of character and action.
In the Vietnam book, I did the same thing. I took stories about soldiers who survived a battle and protestors at the University of Wisconsin and sort of interwove them. I kind of did the same thing here, but in a much less grievous and deathly way than Vietnam.
OMC: Cassius Clay (later known as Muhammad Ali) went on to become the most famous athlete in the world, but this was his first step into the spotlight, wasn't it?
DM: He was 18 years old. He won the light-heavyweight gold medal. He had the same personality then. This was before he was the most famous person in the world. Teammates on the U.S. team looked at him -- Rafter Johnson said he was kind of the bothersome little brother. He had the same braggadocio then. He was rhyming his words. He was saying he was the greatest. By the second day in the Olympic Village, I think everybody from every country had met him. By the third day, half of them were sick of him.
OMC: You say in the book that the 1960 Summer Olympics marked the passing of one era and the dawning of another. What do you mean by that?
DM: In so many ways, the 1960 Olympics marked a passing of one era and the birth of another. Television, money and doping were bursting onto the scene, changing everything they touched. Old-school notions of amateurism, created by and for upper-class sportsmen, were being challenged as never before. New countries were being born in Africa and Asia, blacks and women were pushing for equal rights. For better and worse, one could see the modern world as we know it today coming into view.
OMC: So much about the Olympics and the way they are presented has changed since 1960. What stories from the current Games will we be talking about 50 years from now?
DM: I think China is fascinating. They're saying this is the Chinese century. Everybody is focused on the Middle East now, but in the long run it's going to be China that we're all going to be dealing with. This, they look at as their introduction into this century. How they handle it with their human rights problems, their horrible pollution and thousands of journalists clanging around in Beijing looking for stories. It could be a disaster, or they could pull it off. That's going to be fascinating.

I see the work that Kitsap Animal Rescue does everyday. I do not work for them but see the hard work they do which used to be done by law enforcement.
In the last three to four years I have seen a vast improvement in their services which is greatly appreciated by LE. KAR is now dispatched through 911, they share the same radio frequency as LE does and they use the same computerized dispatch that LE uses.
KAR is a great asset to LE and to animal rescue. Many of the calls that were dispatched to LE are now handled by KAR and they are much more accessible then what they used to be.
KAR does a tremendous job trying unite animals back to their owners and when they can't they do as much as they can to have those animals adapted out.
DUCTTAPEO1, your comments are automatically dismissed by anyone who knows you. You are miserable little person that has nothing good to say about anything. However, if you want to discuss the facts about cases then I will be glad to have a discussion with you in a public forum.
Still doesn't account for the raid in Olalla, personnel changes, incomplete paperwork, and conduct of the board.
Those are genuine issues of oversight. Arrest and seizure of animals, only to drop charges without full and complete public disclosure is a complete denial of due process rights.
You respond in this discussion with name calling, along with false appeals and straw man arguments.
When it came time for the shelter officials to provide legally sworn statements and testimony, the prosecutor's office dropped the case for insufficient evidence. Curiously, within months, several employees were either terminated, or they resigned.

Yesterday on RTE News was a bit on some luxury cruiser voyage which is going to trace the course of the Titanic on that ill fated final journey and interviews with some of the people who were paying fifty thousand euro or pounds (I didn't really notice) to go on board and wearing costumes of the time period..
Does anyone else find this kind of sick? Does this mean that on the hundredth anniversary of the Aberfan disaster it will be ok for people to dress up as schoolchildren and party at the site? Lets all go to Fukashima and wear anti-radiation togs and some others can pretend to be a big wave, there are loads of examples of the sick way something could be commemorated and this Titanic voyage just seems to be another of them.
I really do think that the various lifeboat associations could far better do with the five thousand whatevers. Just seems to be more self indulgent Titanic twaddfle to me.

It's Big Time Collegiate football for crying out loud. They have to live big. That's why so many can be so negative when they do not win every game. I agree though NO ONE on any level is worth all the money thrown at them. But as long as there are people with the dough to throw, there will be people demanding the big bucks. It is what it is. I for one am hoping every member of this staff earns their keep beginning with Coach Jones.

In 2001, the first iTan Sun Spray Spa opened its doors. It had a simple goal—to make clients feel and look lovely with professional tanning services. Today, the spa has more than 20 branches around San Diego, each offering a slightly different assortment of tanning beds, spray-tanning booths, and mechanical spa services.
The Smart Tan–certified staff prioritizes keeping up with tanning technology by stocking state-of-the-art tanning beds such as the Sun Angel, which uses sensors to customize a blend of UVA and UVB rays, practically eliminating overexposure and the need to wear a beekeeper suit to detract from a burn. Many beds come equipped with stereo sound systems, misters, and fans. Just down the hall from these beauty gadgets, Mystic and airbrush machines bronze limbs without UV rays or tan crayons, and mechanical spa machines dispense relaxing red-light treatments, infrared-energy body wraps, and aqua massages.
Tucked within a tiny strip mall, Salon Armas holds a nice surprise for those who peek inside its gleaming glass doors. Exposed beams and marble floors exude an ambiance that's at once upscale and urban, complemented by the warm accents of yellow tufted sofas and chocolate-hued salon chairs. Within this hidden gem, the staff revivifies hair with L'Oréal Professionnel products and trendy cuts and draws clients into private rooms for rejuvenating facials.
Glamourellaz's mobile makeup services beautify clients on location. The makeup artists highlight dazzling damsels' best features with glamorous cosmetics for big events or nights on the town or create classic looks for everyday wear. The team also teaches insider makeup tips during private classes. In addition to makeup services, the team creates glamourous gifts, such as diaper cakes and sock cupcakes for baby showers or candy bouquets or cheer bows for any occasion.
Inside of Hot Rodz & Betties Hair Garage, Paige Savage of Paige Savage Skin Care helps keep her clients beautiful. She can perform a variety of waxing services, using the help of vitamin-protein enzymes and sensitive-skin cream wax to help make the procedure as comfortable as possible. She also manages visages with luxurious facials, which she customizes to each client, that include services such as steam cleansing, extractions, pressure-point massage, and moisturizer.
Parked inside Hot Rodz & Betties Hair Garage, an all-female staff of experienced hairstylists and nail technicians pampers guests during salon services. They prune hairdos, inject vibrant or subtle color, and evict frizz left over from bowling with an electromagnetic ball. Not ones to preference one body part over another, the team also dotes on guests with waxing, spray-tan, facial, and mani-pedi treatments.
At Love Your Skin By Hope, aesthetician Hope Acuna personalizes each skincare service with carefully selected products. Pretreatment consultations help Hope to tailor cleansing facials to each individual's skin type, and a complimentary patch test checks for allergies to looking pretty before every chemical peel.

Angels Notes: Hamilton, Trumbo, Bourjos
A look at the Angels as they introduce Josh Hamilton..
- The Angels are telling people that they're not trading Mark Trumbo, according to Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports (via Twitter). That could change with the right offer, but it's clear that they would prefer to move Peter Bourjos.
- The Rangers didn't woo Hamilton hard enough, according to his wife Katie, tweets Jeff Wilson of the Star-Telegram. The slugger agreed and said that he would be lying if he said the perceived slight didn't bother him.
- The Angels' signing of Hamilton was a shocker but was also premeditated in many ways, writes Alden Gonzalez of MLB.com. A source says that the Halos already looked into it during the Winter Meetings despite owner Arte Moreno's preference to have a $145MM payroll next year. However, the club left flexibility for just one player, and that was Hamilton.
- Hamilton said that talks didn't get serious with the Angels until the day he signed, tweets Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times.

It's No Optical Illusion: Jennifer Aniston Wows At 'Wanderlust' Premiere
Jennifer Aniston attended the "Wanderlust" Los Angeles premiere yesterday wearing a black and white strapless dress. We like the geometric print that looks almost like an optical illusion.
In the film an overtaxed Manhattan couple (Aniston & Paul Rudd) move to a free-spirited community that rejects the rules of contemporary society.
She recently told GQ about her own "Wanderlust"-like hippie experience. She explained, "In Laurel Canyon, we were very familiar with hippies. I mean, I bathed. But I also wouldn't call myself a Beverly Hills person in any way. I was a more earthy girl for sure."

Say it in a song, LeAnn -- or on a cake! LeAnn Rimes and husband Eddie Cibrian celebrated their second wedding anniversary together on Monday, Apr. 22, with a chill dinner date out in Toronto, Canada, and one very lyrical pastry.
Rimes, 30, excitedly tweeted a photo of the couple's white-and-gold confectionery concoction on Tuesday, with the words "If you break down I'll drive out and find you" written in icing across the top.
PHOTOS: LeAnn and Eddie's road to love
"Anniversary cake w/ lyrics from our wedding song," she captioned the shot, in reference to the Patty Griffin song "When It Don't Come Easy." "Beautiful anniversary, low key and lovely. Thx for all your sweet well wishes."
On Monday night, the pair stepped out in casual outfits for their date night -- Rimes in a long black dress and olive green leather jacket and Cibrian, 39, in a grey plaid shirt and jeans.
VIDEO: LeAnn in talks to get her own show
Earlier in the day, Rimes also shared a snapshot of several framed images of herself with Cibrian from their elegant vow renewal ceremony last year.
"Love my hubby for the sweetest card and bring framed pics of last year's anniversary to TO … just beginning," she wrote in reference to their Calabasas getaway.
PHOTOS: LeAnn's skimpiest bikinis ever
Rimes and Cibrian tied the knot in 2011 after meeting on the set of their Lifetime movie Northern Lights in 2009, when they were both married to other people.

Visioneer Mobility Wireless Scanner Review admin / Friday, April 15, 2011, 12:46 pm / No Comments Up until now the latest innovation in portable document scanning was the single USB cable, powered by and transmitted through just one cable. Wowee. Visioneer now takes us further along to a world without wires – and hopefully paper too – with their $200 compact scanning package. Visioneer released the first truly portable wireless scanning solution, the Visioneer Mobility. What makes this so portable is the built-in 3.7V 1700mAh lithium-ion battery tucked inside and its ability to scan documents and images directly to an SD card, USB flash drive or mobile phone with no computer near by. more → Posted in: 4-featured, Digital Imaging, Reviews, sli Tagged with: mobile scanner, portable scanner, sd scanner, visioneer, visioneer mobility, wireless scanner
Samsung Galaxy Tab Android 2.2 Tablet Review Michael Kwan / Wednesday, April 13, 2011, 1:06 pm / 2 Comments When the iPhone arrived on the scene it quickly rose to dominate the smartphone world.

In much the same way, the iPad is currently dominating the tablet world, but Android tablets are rising to the forefront too. The Samsung Galaxy Tab is a prime example of that. more → Posted in: 4-featured, Android, Reviews, sli, Tablets Tagged with: android 2.2, android tablet, froyo, froyo tablet, galaxy tab, rogers, samsung
Confirmed: Apple Policy Fails to Determine Eligibility of MacBook Pro NVIDIA GPU Problems Fabrizio Pilato / Tuesday, April 12, 2011, 10:21 am / 140 Comments In July 2008 Nvidia admitted a high failure rate in some of their graphics processors due to a "packaging defect." Hold up now, this reason is not explained in much detail beyond that. But many technicians are attributing this problem to improperly applied heat-transfer material (that silver gook that allows thermal energy to transfer from the chip to your heatsink and cooling fan.) The faulty Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT graphics processor was the GPU chip affected and the problems inevitably resulted in the loss of video or the inability to boot your MacBook Pro entirely. Again, they say a "packaging defect" was the problem. Would it be safe to say the MacBook Pro is the packaging? Nvidia was unavailable to comment on this "packaging problem" as they do not discuss agreements about their hardware partners. more → Posted in: 4-featured, Industry News, Notebooks, sli Tagged with: apple, black screen, gpu problems, MacBook Pro, no video, nvidia, nvidia gpu failure

But those critical of Apple for their slow moving product releases need to keep one thing in mind, it's all about the money.

My bedroom closet is cluttered with grow lamps, grow medium, and other hydroponics supplies. There's no need to call the DEA; they are for the pepper I raise. Some articles on vertical farming inspired me to grow peppers hydroponically in my upstairs bathroom a couple of years ago. I used rudimentary materials and only harvested 3 peppers, but it was not bad for a first attempt. This year, I decided to delve further into the agriculture industry.
Once the winter ended, I bought rockwool, fertilizer, and a pH kit at a friendly hydroponics supply story in Rockland County, and I experimented with some designs for containers made from freecycled drink bottles. After mixing rockwool, fertilizer, and water, I adjusted the pH and planted this year's crop of pepper seed. The pepper plants that sprouted are growing nicely in my bedroom.
In addition to tinkering with the technical aspects of vertical farming, I wanted to make a system that was economically feasible. This requires starting a business as a vertical farmer. Registering a business is an early step for any aspiring entrepreneur. I went to 1 Bergen County Plaza in Hackensack to register my vertical farm as a business under my name. While there I got some helpful technical advice from the expert at the Rutgers Extension Service. Then I went to the websites for the New Jersey Division of Revenue and the Internal Revenue Service to register my farm with those agencies.
Starting a business is relatively easy. Making it profitable is much more difficult. To become sustainable, a business needs to sell its product. That means I would need a license from the Health Department to sell my crops. I drove to the Bergen Country health department to inquire about getting the necessary license. The clerk there sent me to the Health Department office in New Milford which serves River Edge. That office told me to check with River Edge to see if farms were legal in my location before applying for a license to sell the produce.
Much to my disappointment, I learned that River Edge prohibits commercial farming on a residential property when I visited the River Edge Town Hall. So, my dreams of making an economically feasible farm were crushed. At least it's still legal for me to grow food at home for private consumption. Besides the peppers in my bedroom, there are newly planted blueberries and raspberries in the side yard. Once these crops bear fruit, I'll gladly share them for free. Just don't try to give me anything in return. I don't want to be hauled into court for growing with the intent to sell.

After Meloetta, can offer any Aus event Pokemon and I have a lot of shinies like the latest one Foongus

Does anyone out there have a Meloetta? I really need it for the Pokedex! Trade backs are just fine. Thank you in advance!
I sometimes use "uber" Pokémon. I sometimes calculate stat values. I never use cheating devices. I sometimes try to breed my way to perfection (and maybe fail), and I care about natures to an extent. But I like my Pokémon the way they are, and treat them like individuals instead of brainless drones. If you use this philosophy, copy & paste this into your signature.

Speaker Profile
Do you remember the last time you had a roll of photographic film developed? Thanks to the rise of digital photography, the answer is probably going to be some years ago. If the story of the photo printing industry teaches us anything, it is that technology can have a dramatic impact on existing business models. We have seen similar changes hit the media and retail sectors, but in truth no industry is immune to the impact of the digital revolution.
The first requirement for adapting to change is understanding what is possible. The second requirement is to put in place a plan to deal with it. Brad Howarth has expertise in both.
For the last two decades Brad has been examining and communicating the impact that technology is having on business and society. Through his work as a journalist, author, and speaker he has focused his attention on understanding technological change and the challenges and opportunities that arise from it. As a result he has become sought after as a catalyst for discussions around the evolution of industry and business models. In 2012 he was selected to participate in the Prime Minister's Digital Economy Forum alongside leaders from Australian industry and academia, and has subsequently contributed to government policy development.
The pace of technology change is accelerating, and Brad is a strong believer that we are only at the beginning of this digital revolution. The digitisation of products and services will have an increasing impact on how we conduct business and organise our societies, smashing traditional barriers of geography and creating new markets and new competition while redefining notions of community.
As a professional communicator, Brad has written and spoken extensively on these topics, and more. His presentations serve to highlight the changes that are possible while providing practical advice on how to negotiate the challenges while profiting from opportunities. Much of his thinking is contained in his 2011 book, A Faster Future, co-authored with Janelle Ledwidge (February 2011). His message is simple - technology is changing the world and, therefore, we must change with technology.
As a working journalist Brad spent the mid to late 1990s reporting on the rapid growth of Australia's IT industry as it rode the dotcom bubble. In 1999, at the age of just 26, he joined the editorial team at BRW, initially as Information Technology Editor, and subsequently took the role of Marketing Editor. While at BRW, Brad authored his first book, Innovation and Emerging Markets (2004), a study of the process of commercialisation for innovative Australian high-tech companies.
Brad Howarth left BRW in 2004 to pursue a career as a freelance journalist and has since travelled extensively, reporting on a range of topics across North America, Europe, Asia and Africa. He has penned articles for Australian and international publications including AFR Boss, BusinessWeek, CIO Australia, GQ Australia, The Guardian, Rolling Stone Australia and SmartCompany.com.au.
During his career Brad has interviewed many of the world's leading thinkers on technology, digital media, innovation and entrepreneurship, including Seth Godin, Vint Cerf, Larry Ellison and Michael Dell. Much of his career has focused on the intersection of technology and business, and he has written extensively on topics including innovation, marketing and advertising, global affairs, and Australia's start-up community.
Brad's presentations take complicated topics and future scenarios and present them in a straightforward and compelling manner. He brings a global perspective and demonstrates the interconnectedness of many developments. Each presentation is tailored to the specific needs of his audience, to deliver information that is relevant, entertaining and thought-provoking.
Client Comments for Brad Howarth
Client Comments
Client Comments
- Brad is an exceptional presenter who understands the intricacies of the ever-changing world of technology and also manages to actively involve the audience throughout his presentations. Brad presented on the 'Next Big Things' that will happen in the online/interactive industry at the end of year wrap up panel for Interactive Minds in November 2010. He also participated in our expert panel discussion. His insights and knowledge are exceptional and his easy rapport with the other panellists and audience made him a standout guest speaker.
Interactive Minds - I have worked with Brad for over 10 years. All my interactions with Brad as writer, reporter and more recently as Panel Host or Master of Ceremonies have been positive. And whether it was the public face of Oracle, Intel or currently TIBCO that I manage, I can rely on Brad to assist and guide me.
TIBCO Software Inc. - Brad did an excellent job as MC of our HR Technology Conference. He was very well received by the audience and guest speakers. Brad has an easy going communication style and is professional and easy to work with.
Australian Human Resources Institute - I was looking for a new face in regard to the subject of the future and technology. Not just another futurist talk about stuff that people would never use, something more hands on for business owners as well as having the knowledge at a far greater level. Brad was perfect. His presentation was pitched right at the required level. He took the time to talk to the Members of our Industry to find out their thoughts and needs and he also took the time to not only talk with me on the phone but also in a face to face meeting about the theme of the conference and what I was trying to achieve. He was actually interested!
Some of the comments from his session included...
- Extremely worthwhile.
- Very insightful and relevant.
- I'm from the IT industry and have followed Brad. I thought he did a brilliant 'futurist' presentation to get us thinking.
- Made a usually bland subject very interesting.
- Relevant to lovers of global workforce and internet workers. I guess we need to know this stuff to keep current in a changing world. Not my cup of tea however I was engaged and found the session exceptionally informative.
- WOW, did Brad shift us into the future and what can be possible? His presentation was edgy, he obviously is passionate about his topic and this was evident throughout his presentation. He opened my mind to what can be created, if we use our imagination and embrace technology, and apply it in those areas that work best.

Managing for ChangeChange is the only constant in our live. Be they with regard to our personal lives, career or health, changes conspire to ensure that where we are and what are doing today is generally a long way from the life we lived ten years ago. Sometimes changes can be foreseen, but at other times they are far from predictable, but we can be sure that the sum of changes in our lives will ensure that the life we live ten years from now will also be very different from that which we are living today.
While not all changes in our lives can be foreseen, it is possible however to takes steps to ensure that when the unexpected does happen, detrimental effects are minimised and opportunities maximised. The way that we manage our lives and our relationships and the choices we make personally and professionally have a direct impact on our ability to manage change. If change is inevitable, then creating successful management strategies is essential.
In this presentation Brad will take the audience through various recommendations and strategies on how to manage for change. Quite apart from change management, which provides strategies on how to manage change once it has occurred, managing for changes helps a person or organisation develop a toolkit and plan to deal with changes that are both foreseen and unforeseen, as well as providing advice on how to become an active driver of change.
The content for this presentations and its strategic framework are drawn from the forthcoming book Managing for Change, currently being written by Brad and Peter Fritz, AO, and scheduled for release in late 2013.
The future is already happening - it is the decisions that we take today which will shape our response to it.
The Changing Nature of Work
Australia is witnessing a revolution in how workers choose to engage with their employers, or even whether they want to be regarded as employees at all. The Australian Government's goal of increasing participation rates for home and remote workers to 12 per cent of the workforce has catalysed a movement by employers to find better models for utilising the skills and time of employees. Increasingly Australia's leading employers are turning to teleworking as a means of giving their workers the flexibility they desire.
At the same time, Australia is witnessing an explosion in the number of coworking centres across Australia, where freelancers are coming together to collaborate in dedicated working environments. The potential for relationship building, collaboration and the spontaneous creativity that comes from putting different skills and perspectives together is leading even large corporations to allow some employees to work from these facilities.
The rapid growth of online outsourcing services is creating new opportunities for Australians to earn additional income and even participate in the workforce in a completely freelancer manner. The rapid growth in numbers of self-employed Australians points to a significant shift in the way that we think about work and how we earn an income.
And many workers are also demanding that the tools that they are the most familiar with should be the ones that they have access to in their working life.
The opportunities that these new models are opening for workers are endless, but for managers it means adopting new ways of thinking about how employees are engaged and managed. While access to skills is broadening to include workers from anywhere in Australia - or around the world - it means finding new ways to manage and reward a workforce that may no longer be working from the same facility, or even on the same payroll.
Brad Howarth has been tracking the changing nature of work though his roles as a technology and business journalist and commentator. In 2012 he led a series of seminars around Australia on the topic of teleworking sponsored by the Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, and in June this year was selected by the Department to facilitate Telework session at the inaugural Digital Productivity Conference held in Brisbane.
Work is no longer a place we go to, nor even a thing we do - it is becoming a new way of life, as customised and flexible as our personal lives.
The Digital Economy
Every time we look at a web page, we leave behind a trail of information. Every time we use Google, post on Facebook, or send a tweet, data is created. Every time we swipe a credit card, buy an airline ticket, and even check into hospital, that event is recorded and stored. Indeed, the digital footprint that we leave behind is increasingly becoming an accurate representation of so many aspects of our lives.
And it has value. With the volumes of data we generate growing exponentially, so too is the opportunity for organisations to harvest and profit from that data. These massive volumes of data have given rise to a new concept in the technology industry - Big Data - and created a massive interest in new tools and methods for analysing those vast volumes of data to find the nuggets of value.
The analysis of Big Data is what allows online publishers to maximise the revenue they can earn from their advertising, ensuring that visitors see ads that are most relevant to them. It enables retailers to predict what products will be the big sellers in their stores that week, and gives insurers a better chance of predicting and preventing fraudulent claims. It even enables hospitals to know almost exactly how many patients they might expect to see presenting at their emergency rooms on any given day of the year.
And it also has massive implications for our privacy.
Big Data analysis is leading to a new form of economics, and the creation of a Data Economy. Data is the new currency, but its value is determined by our ability to collect, analyse and make sense of the data that is available to us.
Brad Howarth has scoured Australia and the world to find the best examples of how organisations are using Big Data to create a new Data Economy. In this presentation he takes his audience through the many concepts associated with Big Data - how it is generated and used - and the outcomes that organisations are achieving.
Adapting to a Technology-Driven World
History has shown us that the speed at which business and society adapt to new technology can have significant and often unexpected consequences for many business owners. Even when those consequences are obvious, it is not always easy for traditional businesses to adapt in time. Can business owners truly remain in control of their own destiny with technology evolving at a rapid rate? And can they even hope to take advantage of many of the new opportunities that are opening up for them?
The Evolution of Online Applications and Services
Think about the online services that you were using 10 years ago. Now look at what you are using today. Internet services are evolving a breakneck speed, but it is easy to forget that many of the services that we take for granted today, such as online banking and YouTube were only in their infancy a decade ago, if they even existed at all. Where will the next online service innovations come from, and how can you position yourself to take advantage of them?
The Impact of Technology on Business and Society
History is littered with technological breakthroughs and new services whose consequences have been barely noticeable. But every so often a new idea is born that has ramifications for all of business and society. Electricity, refrigeration, the automobile, and the Internet are just some of the technological breakthroughs that have revolutionised the way that we operate in business and as a society, and unlocked a myriad of possibilities and related innovations. Where will the next breakthroughs occur, and what will they mean for business, society and individuals?
The Impact of the National Broadband Network and other High-Speed Broadband Technologies
The Internet has been a massive driver of change in both business and society, but we are only at the beginning of what is possible online. As society moves to faster and more ubiquitous network technologies new developments and trends will arise that can barely be glimpsed today. Concepts such as information abundance, instant gratification and mass collaboration and connectivity are only just beginning to be understood, but already they are evolving quickly. The building blocks of the future are being laid today, and the decisions that we each take today will go a long way to determining the role that we each will play in that future.
What the Next Ten Years Hold for the Development of Internet Applications and Services, and What That Means for You
It's easy to forget that the Internet is just over 30 years old, and the World Wide Web is barely 20. In that brief period we have witnessed an unprecedented flurry of innovation that has unleashed a vast range of applications and services that have truly changed the way we work and socialise. But we are only at the beginning of the transformation. Internet applications and services are growing both in their sophistication and simplicity, and working their way ever deeper into our society. New developments in Internet services and related technologies have created a platform for even more advanced innovation, which promises to deliver new capabilities and experiences to the way that we interact with the world around us. And it is possible to glimpse some of that future today.

We loved staying at Villa Anna. The apartment is charming and newly renovated with a lovely, little sunroom. It was very clean and the king size bed very comfortable. The ski bus pick-up is steps from the entrance to Villa Anna and the ride is short to the gondola. The gondola is close enough to walk home as the bus ride back is long and the walk is down hill. It is close to the old town - good for gift/grocery shopping and dining out. I have one suggestion. A micro wave oven would have been nice.
Problem with this review?

Joseph Thomas Nedney (born March 22, 1973 in San Jose, California) is an American football placekicker for the National Football League's San Francisco 49ers.
Nedney went 26 for 28 in 2005, and kicked a career high 56 yard field goal against the St. Louis Rams on Christmas Eve. He was the Co-MVP for the 49ers, and quickly re-signed with the team during the offseason.
In the final game of the 1999 NFL season while Nedney was with the Oakland Raiders, the Chiefs were denied a trip to the playoffs and a AFC West division title in the final game of the season when Nedney kicked a field-goal in overtime. Coincidentally, Nedney, with the San Francisco 49ers in 2006, kicked a field goal in overtime against the Denver Broncos and the Chiefs gained the wild-card ticket to the playoffs.
On October 31, 2007 the NFL fined Nedney $7,500 for giving a fan the middle finger during the team's loss to the Saints on October 28.
