U.S. company SurroMed has opened a $25 million center in Singapore to develop technology that can scan a single drop of blood for a person's tendency toward diseases ranging from asthma to breast cancer. The process uses metal cylinders called "nanobarcodes,'' which are 1/1,000 the diameter of a human hair.These cylinders are coated with chemicals that react to blood constituents such as proteins and antibodies.
Assistance has been provided by the Singapore Economic Development Board and the National Science and Technology Board.Singapore has been seeking foreign investment in biotechnology as it seeks to improve its life sciences capabilities and reduce its dependence on exporting electronic goods.
According to the Surromed website, the Nanobarcodes particle technology uses cylindrically-shaped colloidal metal nanoparticles, in which the metal composition can be alternated along the length, and in which the size of each metal segment can be controlled. Intrinsic differences in reflectivity between the metal segments allow individual particles to be identified by conventional optical microscopy. Nanobarcodes particles can be functionalized with various capture chemistries to bind specifically to target molecules that can be interrogated in solution and on surfaces using conventional techniques. This approach enables the creation of an extremely diverse range of uniquely identifiable Nanobarcodes particles that can be used for miniaturized and multiplexed analysis of biological molecules, such as proteins, peptides and organic molecules.
Advectus Life Sciences Inc. have announced the results of two clinical research studies examining the effectiveness of its patented nanoparticle technology in the treatment of brain tumors.
Advectus Scientific Advisory Board members — Drs. Jorg Kreuter and Svetlana Gelperina — tested the effectiveness of and established dosage levels for the anti-tumor drug— doxorubicin — when adhered to a nanoparticle and coated with polysorbate-80.
The dosage level study is a follow-up to a previously published study conducted by Dr. Kreuter that indicated that with the help of nanoparticles, anti-tumor drugs such as doxorubicin could be delivered across the blood-brain barrier when they were combined with polysorbate-80.
According to the American Brain Tumor Association, over 180,000 Americans will be diagnosed with brain tumors in 2002. Brain tumors are the leading cause of cancer-related death in children and young adults (ages 10 – 29) and with the exception of leukemia, brain tumors kill more children under the age of 10 than all other cancers combined. In addition, brain tumors can kill at any age, they also affect the elderly, and are the second fastest growing cause of cancer-related death among adults over age 65.
The combined results of these studies indicate that the medical treatments using nanotechnology may eventually provide a cure for malignant brain tumors. To date, the treatment of malignant brain tumors using drugs has been limited as the drugs had to pass through the brain's natural defense shield—the blood-brain barrier. The blood-brain barrier works to protect the brain but also prevents substances such as cancer-treatment drugs from getting through. This study looked specifically at glioblastomas—fast growing, malignant tumors—which commonly invade adjacent tissue and spread throughout the central nervous system.

A most wanted feature for many, Yahoo! has now finally delivered auto upload to its Flickr app for iOS 7. The feature will automatically upload photos from your iPhone to your Flickr account at full resolution, and can be customized to upload only on WiFi, or to use cellular if you so desire.
Yahoo! has released Screen, a video app that brings on-demand content from several providers, including Comedy Central, ABC News, and The Onion, along with video from the web. You can select popular videos or find something to watch on your own, and share videos you like with Facebook, Twitter, and email.
Yahoo! has pushed out a pretty sizeable update to their Flickr app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, with new and customizable filters and a bunch of new editing tools on board. Theres a new filter pack to choose from, and the filters are now 'live' so you get to assess how things look before snapping your photos.
GhostBird Software, the developers of Kitcam and PhotoForge 2, has been purchased by Yahoo! to become part of the Flickr team. As a result, both applications have now been removed from the App Store, though will continue to work for anyone who has already downloaded them. Equally, if you've ever had either of the apps you'll still be able to re-download them. While disappointing for fans of their apps -- we love Kitcam here at iMore -- the guys from GhostBird are looking forward to their new endeavours:
Yahoo! sure has been busy, as the very same day as they announced their acquisition of Tumblr, Flickr got a major overhaul at a press event in New York City. The headlines; a brand new and much better looking UI and 1TB of storage. For free. For everyone. That's right, 1TB. Yahoo CEO Marissa Meyer writes:
Having been much rumored in recent days, today came the official announcement that Yahoo! had in fact closed a deal to acquire Tumblr. The deal is reported to be worth a cool $1.1 billion in cash, and CEO Marissa Meyer said her piece:
Yahoo has been in the mobile space for quite some time and as such, they've managed amass a good amount of apps, but now -- Yahoo is looking to cut some of their weight and move on.
Yahoo! released their new personalized living magazine Lifestand, today. It includes stories from ABC News, Forbes, Source Interlink, Yahoo's global media network, and more. From these sources, you can create a "Personal Mix" of the topics that interest you. Additionally, Lifestand supports up to 4 profiles so that each member of the family can have their own Personal Mix.

Here's a study finding we really didn't need serious researchers to tell us: Trying on swimsuits—actually, even just the thought of trying on swimsuits—is no day at the beach.
Nevertheless, LiveScience reports that a team from Flinders University in Australia, out to study "self-objectification" in women when it comes to certain clothing, had women picture themselves in four style scenes: trying on a swimsuit in a dressing room, wearing a swimsuit while they walked down a beach, trying on jeans and a sweater and walking around in jeans and a sweater.
Guess what put women in an instant bad mood? Blame the fluorescent lighting, fat mirrors and sheer horror of bathing-suit shopping, but trying on suits made women feel the worst about their bodies.
Our advice? Shop online. And totally get a spray tan. Because jeans and a sweater may make you feel less insecure, but they'd be ridiculous to wear on your next trip to the beach, now, wouldn't they?

HHC Honors Outstanding Nurses with First Annual Nursing Excellence Awards
New York, NY – The New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation (HHC) today honored six nurses and a nursing team with its first-ever Nursing Excellence Awards for their leadership, skill and compassion in areas including improving patient outcomes, teamwork and community service.
The nurses recognized today include the supervisor of a program that provides home visiting services for first-time mothers; a leader of changes in healthcare delivery that led to a decrease in readmission rates for heart failure patients; and a volunteer who finds time to serve her community outside of work by teaching children at Sunday school, promoting women's issues and raising funds for distribution of food and clothing to the elderly. They come from among 8,000 men and women who provide nursing care each day in the city's public hospitals, long-term care facilities and health centers in every borough.
"HHC nurses play a vital role in our organization's ability to deliver quality, patient-centered care to the 1.4 million New Yorkers who rely on us for their healthcare every year," said HHC President Alan D. Aviles. "We thank them for the passion and commitment they bring every day to care for our patients and their families."
"This is a remarkable group of individuals who practice as staff nurses, educators, leaders, innovators , collaborators, coaches, mentors and passionate patient advocates," said HHC Chief Nursing Officer Lauren Johnston, RN, MPA. "They touch lives every day, insisting on the best from themselves, their partners in care and the patients we serve."
The nurses were recognized during a reception and ceremony at Harlem Hospital Center.
The 2012 Nursing Excellence Award winners are:
Also recognized were three HHC hospitals that have been certified as Nurses Improving Care for Healthsystem Elders (NICHE) facilities, senior-friendly hospitals designed to meet the special needs of hospitalized elder adults. HHC's Harlem Hospital Center, North Central Bronx Hospital and Queens Hospital Center were designated as NICHE hospitals in May after partnering with the Hartford Institute for Geriatric Nursing and the New York University College of Nursing to implement a nationally recognized training program designed to bring the most current knowledge and skills in geriatric patient care to bedside nurses and hospital staff. More than 100 nurses and healthcare professionals at these three institutions have already begun to adopt age-sensitive, patient-centered best practices in elder care to help improve the health status of New Yorkers age 65 year and older.
About HHC
The New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation (HHC) is a $6.7 billion integrated healthcare delivery system with its own 420,000 member health plan, MetroPlus, and is the largest municipal healthcare organization in the country. HHC serves 1.4 million New Yorkers every year and more than 475,000 are uninsured. HHC provides medical, mental health and substance abuse services through its 11 acute care hospitals, four skilled nursing facilities, six large diagnostic and treatment centers and more than 70 community based clinics.

Downtown NYC.
I've never see a pink Vespa before. Have you?
Downtown NYC.
I've never see a pink Vespa before. Have you?
Nice! I see many pink cars Fiat 500 here.
Very cute!
:envious sigh:
Want. That.
So cute! Tão engraçadinha!
This is a must-have
Well..no.. I haven't ! It's really cool
Though if you like those things. I need a roof and doors and windows to feel safe … 4 wheels
Wonderful shot!!! I've seen a pink Vespa before, but I didn't give it much thought because it was zipping by. I'm getting a Lemon yellow one someday. How about you, Paz? You gotta get one! xo, mari
Well, in my last comment: not "many" pink Fiat 500, just "some"…
Oh, I just loooove, LOVE this…*swoon*… I think this is the first time in my life I've coveted something…haha… You posted this one for me, right?! ;o) Very fun find… Happy Days, Paz ((HUGS))
adore vespas, and pink is my favourite colour so whenever i see one (yes i do now and then) i get a bit extra starryeyed:) but of course, red, classic beige, mintgreen and babyblue are nice too…
Actually I have seen a few pink Vespas around town! Vespas are growing in popularity, aren't they? Not sure i'd want to drive one in winter, though.
Have a very Happy Thanksgiving, Paz!
friend from work has a pink vespa, she calls it "the dame", my friend has a matching pink helmet, what else!

Police say a 13-year-old girl who disappeared this week without shoes or a coat in the chilly Salt Lake City area has been found unharmed.
Unified Police Lt. Justin Hoyal said Brooklyn Gittins telephoned her grandmother late Thursday night from a Wal-Mart store in South Jordan. The woman then contacted police and officers found the child. Hoyal said she is not injured, even though she had no shoes or coat.
Hoyal said authorities suspect that she was picked up and harbored by one or more people, and police are trying to find out who they are.
He didn't say if the girl told authorities anything about how she spent the past two days.
She disappeared Tuesday evening, causing widespread concern. A major snowstorm Thursday prompted some 1,000 volunteers to join police in searching 17 square miles in the area near Gittins' home in Herriman.

Hello khavers (that means friends in Yiddish)! I hope you all had a joyous and relaxing Henry Day yesterday. I know I did!
Scary smile spin girl
Last week I was in spin class and I glanced over to the girl on the left of me. She was smiling, and it looked like she was sharing a joke with someone on the other side of the room. I assumed she had a friend spinning on the other side and thought nothing of it.
A little later into the class I happened to glance over again. She still had the smile on. It was a huge smile. I looked over at the other side of the room and no one was smiling back at her, much less looking at her. Weird.
I looked away but found myself being pulled to look at her again. Still the huge smile — and I mean HUGE smile, as if she was posing for a picture or found something that made her very happy. I kept looking at her. The smile did not leave her face.
It was creepy. Really creepy. I looked away, but then looked back again. STILL SMILING. A really big, wide smile. While spinning. Very creepy. I was disturbed and distracted from the class. I couldn't stop checking to see if this girl would ever stop smiling.
What kind of strange people have you encountered at the gym?
Yogurt news
Oikos sent me a bunch of coupons for free yogurts so I can try them out and review them here! A big thank you to them! According to the website:
Oikos Organic Greek Yogurt has 0% fat, just 90 calories per 5.3 oz.-serving, twice the protein of regular yogurt, and fewer carbohydrates. Because it's organic, our yogurt is also better for the earth. And we think it's better for you, too.
I am very excited to try these and let you know what I think — but I probably won't get a chance to for a little while because there was a sale on Chobani at Jubilee yesterday and I bought every single Vanilla they had at the price of $1.50 a pop. So I need to eat them all before they expire (some on 4/3 and some on 4/13). I will be sure to blog all about Oikos as soon as I have one and let you know what I think!
I went to my mom's over the weekend and we were very busy on Saturday, so I had no time to start my 30 Day Shred challenge, so Sunday was my first day. I used my 2 lb weights. After a warmup, I was not happy to see that the first eskusize was push ups. I HATE push ups. As much as I hate the rowing machine! I did the modified girl push ups, of course, and before I even had a chance to get really annoyed with it, that part was over! Wow!
I loved this workout because it was all like that. You don't have enough time to get sick of any one exercise because it switches to the next one so quickly. That is my kind of workout!
I will admit I was a bit lazy with the push ups I did do, but I plan to work harder the next time. The rest of the exercises were great and I really enjoyed it — especially the fact that the 20 minutes goes quickly and it got me to do strength training and abs work that I would just never do on my own. Today, my calves, the insides of my arms and my tushie are sore. It's working!
So when I got to the boy's, I was ready to set up my DVD player so I could do day 2 this morning. But then I saw a bunch of cords going from his TV to his cable box. I had no idea which ones to remove from the cable box and put in the DVD player! In my apartment there are only 3 cords, so it was easy. I tried some trial and error but got discouraged and wanted to go to sleep. Tonight I plan to play around with it some more, but I would love if anyone out there on the webnets can help me:
How do I hook up a DVD player to an already-connected TV and cable box??? Update: I strongly suspect it is the yellow cord. Testing will commence.
Also, I can't find my DVD remote! I hope I don't need it for this. Anyway, I REALLY appreciate any advice you can give me here so I can move on with my 30 day challenge! Please help!
In opposite-of-shredding news, look what exists!
Pumpkin Cheesecake ice cream! I took a picture on my phone at the grocery store so I could show my friend since I know she would love it as much as I do. I didn't get it. But I am glad I know it exists. Maybe one day…
The next vegetable I will try
Butternut squash! I bought this in two forms: organic in a can, and a whole squash. It is large. The can will be good for at work and I will attempt to cook up the actual squash. I'll update you on my progress!
Now that you all know more about my doll Nicole, I just wanted to give you some insight into our relationship. Please keep in mind that I will be 26 in a couple weeks and I am discussing my relationship with my doll.
- In college, we would occasionally have fire drills in the dorms. I would always take Nicole with me during these fire drills in case it was a real fire.
- If I bring her on a plane (this hasn't happened in a very long time) she stays with me; I will never check her in case my luggage gets lost.
- One time in college, my boyfriend at the time and I were driving home for the month-long winter break, when I realized an hour into the (3 hour) ride, as my heart dropped suddenly, that I left Nicole in my room. I made him turn around and drive back to school so I could get her.
- When I discovered my apartment was broken into and basically broke down and went into a hysterical state, I held Nicole tight in my arms as I called 911, as the policemen came over and questioned me about the break in, as the locksmiths came to change the locks. Nicole did not leave my arms this entire time.
- I was friends with a photographer who came over and took a beautiful picture of me and Nicole. I have a prin tout of it, I need to get that onto the computer so I can show you.
Yes, I am almost 26 years old.
In other child-like news, thank you to reader Becky who told me of the existence of this blog, http://claudiasroom.blogspot.com/. I haven't had a chance to really read through it yet, but from what I understand it is someone who decided to read back on all her old BSC books and write about them. Brilliant. Wish I thought of this myself. I can't wait to get reading on these recaps and relive some good old times.
Another thing I got very into when I was younger with Ghostwriter. My brother and I LOVED this show. We would sit in front of the TV with our own detective notebooks to try and solve the cases. We took it very seriously and planned our strategies for the show and the cases all week. The episodes were really interesting and cool. The one thing that bothered me was how SLOW they wrote. Omg. That was torture, watching them write in their notebooks as slow as humanely possible, in very careful, clear handwriting. They also typed extremely slowly too! What the hell.
Please click here for a hilarious webcomic about Julia Stiles' stint as a hacker on Ghostwriter.
He's a ghost, and he writes to us – Ghostwriter!

Jonathan Zimmerman: Occupy Wall Street: An American Tradition Since 1776
Jonathan Zimmerman teaches history and education at New York University. He is the author, most recently, of "Small Wonder: The Little Red Schoolhouse in History and Memory."
Most of the "Occupy Wall Street" protesters in New York and their imitators around the country seem decidedly scruffy – which is just how you would look if you slept in a city park for several days. Some of them have even dressed up as "corporate zombies" in white face paint, chanting "I smell money!" So it may be tempting to think of them off-kilter extremists at the edge of society.
Think again. Taking aim at corporate greed and corruption, the demonstrators embody a venerable tradition of American populism. From the dawn of the republic until the recent past, Americans celebrated hard-working folk and denounced financial titans who preyed upon them. However intemperate or excessive, their protest language fueled some of our most important social reforms – including the regulation and control of the financial sector itself.
Start with the author of the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson, who feared that a "moneyed aristocracy" would bind the young nation into a new set of chains. "And I sincerely believe...that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies," Jefferson warned. He reserved special disdain for financial speculation, which he labeled "a species of gambling destructive of morality."...

TAX RATE THAT EXISTED THROUGHOUT BOOMING NINETIES SOMEHOW BLAMED FOR CURRENT DOWNTURN Rate That Never Was Problem Before Suddenly Disastrous, Say Republicans, Dems |
WASHINGTON, DC – Preparing for the upcoming debate on how large the next tax cut should be, members of both parties agreed that giving hundreds of billions of dollars in tax cuts would somehow revive an economy that thrived under tax rates that were even higher than they are now. "We need to put almost another trillion dollars back into the economy," said White House Strategist Karl Rove. "That'll fix this sagging economy, creating jobs and growth." Asked how the tax rate could be to blame for the economy's woes when an even higher tax rate existed throughout the constant boom times of the nineties, Rove replied, "Shut up. Who do you work for?" Al From, Founder of the Democratic Leadership Council, offered a similar perspective. "Now the Republicans are going to far, once again putting too much in the pockets of the rich. But still, I would like to rip some hundreds of billions from health, education, and social programs, or at least run up a nice big debt, because that will help turn the economy around." When the same question - of how a tax-rate that never was a problem suddenly could be the cause of all ills - was put to From, he answered, "Is this a trick question? I gave the right answer, didn't I – that I was for less of a tax-cut and so more responsible? Only hundreds of billions, you see?" Economist Alan Schmitz, professor of Economics at the University of Chicago, offered this analysis. "There have been a record number of personal bankruptcies declared each year for almost a decade now, and everyone in the country is obese. We have, basically, consumed all we can. Our credit cards, and belt-lines, are maxed. Nothing but an influx of cash to pay down those cards and universal coverage for liposuction will turn things around, enabling the American consumer to get back out there and consume, consume, consume." Americans consumers seem to agree. Asked if they would spend more if they no longer had to pay tax on dividends, 92% of respondents asked what a dividend was, 1% said yes they would, and 7% stood open-mouthed and drooling. |

Faculty members from both units/divisions collaborate closely with principal investigators across the entire University as co-investigators on research projects requiring biostatistics and epidemiology expertise, and as principal investigators on primary research projects.Faculty Appointments in the CCEB
CCEB faculty have primary appointments as Senior Scholars, Associate Scholars, Adjunct Scholars, or Affiliate Members.
Senior Scholars
The CCEB serves as the primary research home for Senior Scholars, who act as core faculty for the CCEB. Senior Scholars look to the CCEB, rather than their primary department, for their primary research support, including space, research computing, secretarial/administrative assistance, current expenses, and financial management.
Associate and Adjunct Scholars
Associate and Adjunct Scholars are affiliated faculty members who have expertise in biostatistics, epidemiology, or a related discipline. Associate Scholars have a primary departmental faculty appointment within Penn, but the primary focus of their activities is elsewhere. Adjunct Scholars have primary appointments outside the University. To maintain their appointments with the CCEB, Associate and Adjunct Scholars are expected to participate annually in CCEB educational programs and research activities, and meet annual service/collaborative requirements. Generally, Associate and Adjunct Scholars do not receive direct support from the CCEB.

- Current Associate Scholars, Clinical Epidemiology Unit
- Current Adjunct Scholars, Biostatistics Unit
- Current Adjunct Scholars, Clinical Epidemiology Unit
Affiliate Appointments
Affiliate appointments are available to those with primary faculty appointments at Penn who do not have advanced research degrees in epidemiology, biostatistics, or a related field, but make important contributions to the CCEB's research or educational programs.
Faculty Appointments in the DBE
Faculty with appointments in the DBE may have primary appointments, secondary appointments, or adjunct appointments. Those with adjunct appointments have a primary affiliation with another academic institution or in private industry. Numerous biostatisticians and non-clinician epidemiologists hold primary appointments in the DBE; clinician epidemiologists generally hold secondary appointments in the DBE while maintaining primary appointments in clinical departments; and biostatisticians, clinician epidemiologists, and non-clinician epidemiologists may hold adjunct appointments. Faculty with primary appointments who are primarily independent investigators and/or methodologists have appointments in the tenure track. Those who are primarily collaborative researchers have appointments in the clinician-educator track.- Current Faculty with Primary Appointments: Epidemiology Division

Consiglia Licciardi | Go to catalogue
Consiglia started singing since she was very young.
In 1976 she began studying the Neapolitan songs and, meanwhile, did concerts with her brother Peppe (guitar).
Her research and particular musical sensitivity made her develop her own style that, on one hand, reminds the most beautiful voices of the past and, on the other hand, strikes for the originality and freshness she has to sing the old classics.
In the two albulms "Alma Latina" and "Ariammore", Consiglia sings new songs (written and arrangiati by Peppe Licciardi) where she experiments the worm and deep sounds of Mediterranean tradition.
In these records her sweet but defined voice, supported by a mature style, is particulary at its ease.
Consiglia makes many concerts in several Mediterranean cities with one of the best artists of portoguese fado, Nuno de Camara Pereira.
Consiglia joint many tv shows, festivals and concerts in the last years like:
Domenica In ( four times), Quelli che il calcio, , Roxy Bar , Uno Mattina, Tappeto Volante.
American Embassy (she sings with Frank Sinatra)- Auditorium Radio Colonna- Cartagine, Roman Anfitheatre - Parigi, Auditorium Institut Monde Arabe - Montevideo, Stella Theatre - Buenos Aires, Coliseo Theatre - Porto Alegre, San Pedro Theatre - Lione, La Chapelle de la Trinitè.

One of the latest solutions brought into the wild from Adobe was the demo software called "FlashTime," which was built on the upcoming Air 2.5, and which came to light as a peer-to-peer video chat client aimed at taking full advantage of the photo snapper included in one's mobile phone. The solution was recently demonstrated on smartphones running under Google's Android operating system and, one should agree that it seems promising.
Mark Doherty, the Platform Evangelist for Mobile and Devices at Adobe, has been testing out the new features that came with the Adobe AIR 2.5 beta, and says to have built an Android app using Adobe AIR 2.5, that allows the Android smartphone users to make P2P video calls.
Coming back to the P2P video calling app, he said that the code will be made OpenSource, once it is made stable, and that should probably be around next week. It's currently still a prototype, so don't expect to see such an application appearing on your Android device anytime soon.

There are only a few events that I can tell you with absolute certainty where I was at that time. Sept. 11, 2001, was one of those times. I was in the Chicago area for an Inland Press Association digital media conference.
As news spread of potential attacks on the towers, conference participants, many of whom were responsible for news on their websites, cleared the room to contact their respective papers.
While we were responsible for updating others on the events, it still seemed unreal at the time. Most participants flew into Chicago and couldn't leave the city after the attacks, so the conference continued as a true "working conference," with many posting stories
Scott Schurz
Journal publisher
The memory of that day will forever be burned into my mind.
I was working at The Phenix Citizen, in Phenix City, Ala., a small town located in southeastern Alabama, that September morning. I was walking past my publisher's office.
My publisher turned and said, "This is live, breaking news." He and I watched in silence for about an hour, after which we game-planned our coverage for that day.
I managed to track down people who had loved ones in New York as events unfolded. I even spoke to a local banker whose son worked in the towers. He was one of the fortunate ones — he got out alive.
I remember just being mentally numb that entire day.
Mike Moore
Journal managing editor
While I was only 13 on that Tuesday, I was not in school as many of my fellow teenagers were. I was a homeschooler and sat on my bed watching the television coverage all day after first hearing about a plane hitting the World Trade Center as I ate cereal at the breakfast table.
My memories of that day don't stir up hatred for any group of people; they stir up sadness in thinking of the lives lost. I don't remember feeling unified in a war on terrorism in those 24 hours; I remember feeling unified in humanity.
One memory stands out in the hours I watched events unfold. The news anchor, watching just as I was as the second tower crumbled to the ground, was nearly speechless and had only these words:
"America, say a prayer."
Jonathan Kleppinger
Journal staff writer
I, too, distinctly remember Sept., 11, 2001. I was sitting in my 7th-grade history class in Hillsboro, Ohio and another teacher ran into the room from across the hall, telling our teacher to turn on the television right away.
As we stared at the screen I don't think any of us realized exactly what we were watching for a few minutes. We all sat there and just watched as the footage of the planes striking the World Trade Center rolled over and over again across the screen. Then Mr. Robson told us to put away our books. We weren't going to be reading about any more history that class, we were watching it live.
The principal came over the intercom later in the afternoon to announce a moment of silence to remember those who lost their lives during the tragedy, and later my family and I went to our church for a prayer service with people from every part of town.
Laura Butler
Journal staff writer
For myself and people of my generation, our Sept. 11 memories all begin with, "Well, I was in school ..."
It was history class for me. Now, 10 years later, 13- and 14-year-old high-school freshmen are learning in their history classes what I saw with my own eyes in mine.
In middle school, we had a project to interview people (primarily our grandparents) about what they were doing when they found out about the attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. Now I am telling people what I was doing when I found out about the terrorist attack on Sept. 11, 2001.
History has a way of doing that. Almost 60 years after Pearl Harbor, 9/11 happened. Almost 100 years after Abraham Lincoln was gunned down, John F. Kennedy was assasinated.
What history will our grandchildren see and tell theirs about?
Jonathan Stark
Journal sports editor
Almost a year before, on Sept. 9, 2000, I had become a born-again Christian, so in 2001, I was celebrating the first-year anniversary of that event. On Sept. 10, 2001, my grandpa died in his sleep. I was home from college visiting my parents on the 11th because of this event. We had the TV on for some reason — it was so rare in our house. My dad just turned it on, and the first channel it was tuned to showed the live footage of the first plane hitting the first tower. We all immediately knew it was live and just sat silent, watching the smoke, imagining the screams and how the people were dying. After a while, I realized how glad I was that my grandpa hadn't had to be here to see this day. You see, he was a POW from World War II, and he loved the United States. He escaped from a prison camp in Germany — his friends didn't make it. To make matters worse, when he came back home, his fiancée had left him for another man. He stayed in the hospital for three months, recovering from physical and mental wounds. He has only told that story a few times. When I heard it, I knew that it was the best story I would ever hear on Earth because true courage usually only has a chance to show once in a lifetime. He said that he would have done it again. So, for some reason, I consider 9/11 happening on that particular day a sort of blessing from God so that my grandpa wouldn't have to think of that when he was dying. Now that I hear of an Islamic group going to set up shop on Ground Zero, I know this country is headed in the wrong direction. It is sad that in the face of political correctness we can't stand up to a group of people and call their bluff — "Bad form!" If we did that to them, it would be deemed "insensitive and heinous." When they do it, we think twice about whether it is even right to suggest they go somewhere else. I do not believe that all Muslims are bad, of course not, but when a group wants to erect a building dedicated to the things that created the terrible space in the first place, it is like a spit in the eye, a slap in the face of our freedom. I cannot believe what the U.S. is becoming. I do not want to lose all of the things my grandpa fought for, the things I love and enjoy.
Sadie McGee-McNamara,
My memories of 09-11-01 is that morning I took off from the sheriff's office. My sister Becky and I took my Dad to Central Baptist Hospital for an appointment. We were in a waiting room watching Good Morning America when they flashed to a picture of the World Trade Center with a big hole in the side of it. I told my sister, "What a terrible mistake by a plane." In just a few minutes, the second plane hit, and I knew it was a terror attack. The day stands out as being a brilliant sunlit day and clear blue skies.
Alan "Doodle" Peel,
In the moments before the first plane hit the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, officials from 18 states had gathered for the annual Southern Governors' Association conference in Lexington. As governor of Kentucky and chairman of the association, I was hosting the event.
Around 9 a.m., we learned a plane had crashed into the North Tower. At the time, we believed it to be a terrible accident. Within minutes, we were told the South Tower had also been hit. Quickly finding a room with a television, I, along with West Virginia Gov. Bob Wise, Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, Gov. Mike Foster of Louisiana, and several others, watched with horror and disbelief the destruction and devastation unfolding on the streets of America's most famous city.
When news of a jet crashing into the Pentagon came across the wires, we knew our nation was under attack. The governors needed to get home but couldn't fly since all planes had been grounded. We began sending them out with Kentucky State Troopers who coordinated their safe return with law-enforcement officers across the south.
In the days that followed, we came together as a country and a commonwealth to pray for those who had paid the ultimate cost in these acts of aggression. Sept. 11, 2001, was a date carved in time for each of us, a date when our blankets of security and shades of innocence were abruptly swept away by the acts of a few crazed terrorists, a date when time stood still as millions of Americans were held spellbound as modern technology electronically transferred them to a scene of horror only experienced on one other occasion in our nation's history. Never again will any of us watch an airplane soar or gaze upon New York City's altered skyline without thinking of these horrific events.
Over the past decade, the world has observed firsthand the spirit of the American people, a spirit that others have described as a "sleeping giant," and a giant that reveals its strength and greatness during times of duress and peril. As we mark this significant event in our history, let us pause to remember the bravery and sacrifice of so many heroes and let us continue to ask for God's blessing on this great nation.
Paul E. Patton,
Former governor of Kentucky (1995-2003)
Few people will ever forget where they were on Sept. 11, 2001. I was in Dawson Springs for a few days visiting my parents, as their health had been deteriorating. We were watching television together that morning after breakfast and saw the terrible events as they occurred. Like many people, we stayed in front of the TV set for the rest of the day, trying to figure out what was happening and what these attacks meant for our country.
I remember feeling mixed emotions — sorrow for all the people who lost their lives and for their families, and anger at those who would perpetrate such a horrendous act.
The war on terrorism certainly escalated that day, and it's a war that continues even today. I just returned from a visit to Iraq and Afghanistan, where thousands of Kentuckians are continuing that fight to protect our freedoms. Those servicemen and women deserve our continued support and gratitude.
Steve Beshear,
Governor of Kentucky
I was in Louisville that day, having breakfast. The restaurant TV was turned on, and I remember thinking that the hole caused by the first plane was too large for a private plane. Then I saw the second plane hit and knew it wasn't a terrible accident but an attack on the United States. I felt sickened, and everyone was bracing themselves to see what would happen next.
After calling in to my Frankfort office to check on where member families were (Sen. Tori's son was on a commercial flight), I drove home by Ft. Knox and not the usual I-65. I remember noticing quite a bit of activity there.
That night, I was eating dinner at a restaurant and they had the TV on to follow the coverage. At one point, the station played the national anthem and there was not a dry eye in the place after.
Senate President David Williams,
Governor candidate
The memory of the events of Sept. 11, 2001, will forever stir the emotions of rage and sadness within me. The rage is directed at those terrorists who target innocent women and children as a part of their warmongering and the sadness is for the victims and their families who bore the brunt of it.
I was driving to my law office and listening to WVLK's Jack Pattie, who reported that a plane had crashed into one of the World Trade buildings. No details were immediately available and, of course, I believed it was an accident. When he reported the second attack, I was dumbfounded. Who would do such a thing?
Thereafter, like tens of millions of other Americans, I was glued to the nearest TV set and watching in disbelief at the utter destruction and chaos. The later reports of the attack on the Pentagon and the Pennsylvania crash would only fuel my fervent hopes and resolve that whoever was responsible for this could and would be brought to justice.
Therefore, I was highly gratified when Osama Bin Laden was dispatched by a courageous band of Navy Seals who risked their lives in service to their country. This does not, however, remove the risk of further terrorist attacks on Americans around the world, and the lesson we should all take from 9/11 is to be forever vigilant in protecting our American way of life from those will never accept the fact that our way cherishes individual and religious freedom.
We are, in fact, at war with those people, and let the memory of 9/11 remind us never to weaken our resolve to win it.
Gatewood Galbraith
Governor candidate
I was in Louisville on Sept. 11, and it was during the early stages of my campaign for Congress. I was working when Elizabeth called me and told me to turn on the television immediately. In an instant I was shocked, saddened and stunned. It is a day that made us all want to hug our families a little closer and commit to being stronger Americans.
Jack Conway,
Kentucky Attorney General
On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, I was still at home preparing to go to the U.S. Capitol when I heard that a plane had struck one of the towers of the World Trade Center. Like most Americans, I was glued to the television and watched the attacks unfold before my eyes. I saw the second plane go into the second tower. By then, I communicated with the Capitol Police, and they advised me to stay away from the Capitol, to not come into the office. I then reached out to my staff to ensure they, like the thousands of others who work in the Senate and House, had safely evacuated the Capitol grounds. My wife, Elaine Chao, came home from the Department of Labor and brought some of her employees with her, and we continued to watch everything on television. I saw the reports about the plane striking the Pentagon and the plane that went down in Pennsylvania that we now believe was intended to hit the Capitol.
By the end of the day, it was clear America was at war and things would never be the same. I joined my colleagues on the Capitol steps to sing "God Bless America" to show the nation and the world that our government was united and unafraid.
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell,
U.S. Senator/Kentucky

Faux-tato Salad
Recipe Rating: | |
Serves: | 4-6 |
Prep Time: |
1/2 | large fresh cauliflower |
1 | carrot |
1/2 c | low fat mayo or salad dressing |
1 tsp | celery seed |
2 | whole green onions, chopped |
Pinched by kitchenchatter, and 68 more.

Susan's Notes:
Here's a low-carb version of potato salad, using my favorite potato substitute - cauliflower. It really does taste like potato salad, except the texture is crunchier.
Wash cauliflower and break into florets. Peel carrot and chop into medium size pieces. If I have time, I parboil the cauliflower for 2 minutes, just to soften it SLIGHTLY, but most times I skip this step. Personally, I prefer it raw.
Working in batches, whiz cauliflower florets in a blade food processor until the pieces are about the size of cooked rice. Do the same with the carrot. Mix the two veggies together in a bowl.
Chop green onions using both the white and green parts. Add to the veggies.
Add celery seed. If you associate potato salad with a really celery taste, use more. If not, use less.
Add mayo or salad dressing and fold to combine. Refrigerate to blend flavors. To fancy it up, add crumbled bacon slices and hard boiled egg slices on top, just before serving.

Oh, the tourists are NOT happy today! It rained last night, and it's been cold and windy all day. Decent weather for walking, though. Did my usual trek on the beach this morning, and Kirk and I just got back from a walk by the bay.
Poor Kirk had one of his gnarly migraines today, so I spent a quiet day at the computer working on some websites. Not much else to report here; we'll probably have a Scrabble grudge match later (Kirk was the Scrabble police last night. But I think he was making up his own rules...it's okay though -- Patricia and I still beat him.)
Back to the Infusion Center for labs in the morning.
Right now I think I'll raid the freezer for a pre-dinner snack of Ben & Jerry's!

Philippians 3:13-14 (NKJV)
Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and
forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Join In as We Enter
The Discipline of Reach
As we consider the role GOD would have us play in the building of a new facility and the move of Circle Drive Baptist Church to a new location, it's time for each member to get in sync with GOD's will—His will for us personally as well as his desire for this church body.
As a congregation, let's spend time:
Reaching in
to see what GOD is saying to us individually. What role does He have planned for us in financing the new structure? What personal business do we need to take care of with GOD to be prepared for this exciting adventure? What gifts and callings has he given us that can be used to benefit others through this new building?
Reaching up
to our only Source for inspiration, guidance, faith, hope and perseverance as we enter this transition time in the life of Circle Drive. As with any work of GOD, it won't be easy. But it will be triumphant if we look to GOD.
Reaching out
to those in our spheres of influence who don't know CHRIST. How can we draw them into our fellowship so that GOD's Word reaches them? How do we reach out to each other as we work together to make the vision of this new facility in a growing neighborhood a reality?
The opportunity to work alongside GOD is amazing. Look at what GOD currently is doing in our midst:
GOD made available 35 acres of property in the growing southeastern section of Colorado Springs.
GOD provided the funds that made it possible for Circle Drive to pay cash for the property at a price much less than the land's appraised value.
GOD led us, after much study, prayer and discussion, to agree to move forward with relocation of Circle Drive to this new property.
A building plan has been submitted to the congregation and approved. It's time again to enter the discipline of
reaching in, up and out
Let's join together in the discipline of Reach!

TACOMA - Blaine coach Craig Foster said wrestlers and teams often enter Mat Classics with both "expectations and hopes."
Many of the 1A wrestlers' expectations and hopes dissipated Saturday against strong 1A's such as Granger, Quincy, Castle Rock and Zillah.
Blaine's top contenders Caleb Johnson (195 pounds) and Mikey Antczak (235) and Mount Baker's Sterling Honeycutt (220) started the medal rounds Saturday, Feb. 16, at the Tacoma Dome one win away from competing for state titles.
All three lost their bids in a period of roughly 20 minutes.
"There's some mixed emotions," Foster said. "You'd like to see a couple individuals get state titles, but, you know, we lost some close matches and that's the way it goes here."
To Johnson's, Antczak's and Honeycutt's credit, all three battled back and earned high medals.
Johnson placed third, one year after taking fifth, and Antczak placed fourth and Honeycutt placed fifth. Mount Baker's Joey Walton (132) rallied to win two of his three matches Saturday to take fifth, and Blaine's Justin Belding (160) ended his career with an eighth-place medal.
The sting of defeat was particularly tough for Johnson, who entered the Mat Classic as arguably Whatcom County's best bet to take home a state championship.
"If you want to be the best, you got to beat them," said Johnson, who made no excuses for his 8-7 semifinal loss to Granger's Abidan Duarte. "After the match, I asked myself If I wanted it as bad as I thought I did, and I just didn't wrestle as well as I wanted to in that last match."
Johnson's semifinal match was stopped in the first round after he rolled his ankle, but the Blaine senior said his minor injury wasn't the reason he lost.
Johnson won back-to-back matches after the defeat - both by pin - to claim his third-place medal. In fact, he pinned four of the five opponents he wrestled during the two-day tournament.
"You lose your semifinal match and kind of think to yourself, 'Well, why do I want to keep competing?'" Johnson said. "Then you remember you're doing it for your team."
Although Johnson's wrestling career ended, his high school sports career isn't over. He said he struck a deal with teammate Dwayne Ortega, saying that if Ortega wrestled Johnson would play baseball.
"We needed one more heavy guy, and I used to play baseball since I was born, but I quit in high school because wrestling took so much out of me," Johnson explained. "I said, 'If you wrestle, I'll play baseball my senior year,' so I'll be playing baseball for the Borderites this year."
Antczak won then lost after his semifinal defeat, and Honeycutt lost then won after his semifinal.
Walton, on the other hand, went 2-1, capping his tournament with a gritty 3-2 win against Cashmere's Ethan Visser.
"I just made weight, and that was a big key for me, and I stayed on my feet where I'm good at and went from there," said Walton, a Mount Baker junior. "I have a lot of confidence for next year, and I'm excited for next year."
Blaine's final medal-round wrestler, Justin Belding, dropped both his matches Saturday. He was disappointed with his performance, but proud with what he achieved during his final season.
"I definitely don't feel like I finished out like I wanted to," Belding said. "I wish I could re-do some stuff, but I'm happy I scored some team points and was able to place. That was my goal this year - just to place and get a state medal."
Belding's and Johnson's Mat Classic marked the end of a long-standing wrestling relationship between themselves and Foster.
All three have been working together since Belding and Johnson were second graders.
"I'm very proud of them," Foster said. "I have spent so many years with them, and you know what they are all about. You know what they mean to you, your team and you as a person."
Johnson said he won't know what to do with himself next winter.
"Every winter I spend every weekend and every afternoon with Justin and coach," Johnson said. "It's bittersweet. I've been doing it for 12 years, and it's like I don't know what I am going to do now that's it's over. The way we ended it was definitely a good way to go out. I'm proud of our entire team, and the way Justin wrestled."
Mat Classic XXV was largely disappointing for Class 2A Whatcom County schools. Lynden was the one exception.
After advancing three out of four wrestlers to Saturday's medal rounds, Lynden, which was the lone 2A school to advance any wrestlers to day two, kept its momentum going.
Caleb Newman embodied the fighting spirit the most.
Following a second-round loss Friday to Bremerton's Rusty Hoffman, Newman won four straight matches, including three Saturday all by way of pin.
The Lynden senior, who only began wrestling his sophomore year, earned a third-place medal by getting a bit of redemption. Newman got another shot to beat Hoffman and pinned him in 1 minute, 38 seconds.
"Caleb did not have a good match that second match," Lynden coach Randy Anderson said. "Once we got him onto day two he said, 'You know what, I'm going for it. I'm going to get third place,' and he did. He pinned all of his guys today."
Newman, who admitted wrestling is the toughest challenge he's ever faced, said there was no better way to conclude his wrestling career.
"All the work I've put in is paying off right now," Newman said. "It's wonderful. I couldn't ask for a better ending. Last night I told myself this is the last day I'm going to wrestle, and I got to leave it all out there, because I have nothing to lose. I made sure I gave it my all."
Nick Iaconetti (126 pounds) and Ryan Meggison (170) also capped their careers with state medals.
Iaconetti finished Saturday with a 1-2 record and was 3-3 for the tournament.
He earned a great come-from-behind win against Sultan's James Mackenzie to start the day, but finished with two losses to take sixth place in his first Mat Classic.
"I feel better than I ever thought I would coming into the tournament, but there was so much expectation and not enough to go along with it," Iaconetti said.
The 126 pounder was hoping for a stronger finish, but he was thrilled with how the Lions represented themselves.
"That feels so good. I can't even explain how good that is," said Iaconetti of Lynden being Whatcom County's only 2A team to send wrestlers to day two. "I'm so proud of how far our team has gotten, especially because the other two guys didn't even wrestle with us since freshman year. Caleb joined his sophomore year, and Meggison moved from Sehome. Everyone has come so far."
Meggison lost both his matches Saturday on fairly close decisions. He dropped his first bout 12-7 to Port Angeles' Brian Christion and lost his seventh- or eighth-place match 7-3 to Ephrata's Tevin Hiatt.
"It wasn't that great, really," said a disappointed Meggison shortly after his loss. "I feel like I could have done better, but you have your off days. It happens."
Anderson was extremely pleased with all three of his seniors, saying they've set a standard up-and-coming Lions can follow in years to come.
"Just to get to this day last night was huge," Anderson said. "I really expected Caleb to finish where he was at, and I think Nick and Ryan were right in the mix where they should have been based on what the state's got out there. I mean, this is such a tough tournament. We're super excited for our guys. We're sorry to see them go, but they started something really good with the Lynden program."
Ferndale senior wrestler Kam Williams was the reason the Golden Eagles were represented during Mat Classic XXV's medal rounds Saturday, Feb. 16, at the Tacoma Dome.
The 220 pounder was the only Ferndale wrestler left standing out of nine Golden Eagles who ended their state tournament Friday, Feb. 15.
Williams started day two with dreams of reaching the state title match and possibly winning a championship, but his day ended abruptly when he went down with a scary injury during his bout for a fifth-place medal.
Williams dropped his first two matches, but appeared in good shape to win a fifth-place medal when the heated match took a back seat to Williams' health.
Ferndale wresting coach Caleb Schlak said in a phone interview Williams lost his breath and sustained some type of mild seizure.
"He's fine," Schlak said. "He got squeezed too hard and lost his breath and kind of had a seizure, but I guess it's a fairly normal thing to happen. He is okay and went home with his family."
Tacoma Dome medical staff quickly ran to Williams' aid. After several minutes sitting up on the mat, Williams rose to his feet and was wheeled off the Tacoma Dome floor in a mobile stretcher. Those in attendance gave Williams an ovation as he exited.
It was a tough way to end a strong tournament.
"With an exception to his first match, I thought he had a great tournament," Schlak said. "He kept battling back. He's bummed because he thought he let his team down, but that couldn't be further from the truth. I'm really proud of him."
Williams finished the tournament with a 2-3 record and earned a sixth-place medal after not qualifying for day two last year.
Nooksack Valley 137 pound state-title hopefully Chloe Gardner had something to prove after she lost her semifinal match 6-2 against Kelso's Colleen Reynolds.
She put the pain of her loss on her next two opponents.
Gardner pinned Rochester's Jamilah Ahmath and Lakes' Juliana Trujillo following her loss in a total of 2:29 to claim her third-place medal.
She improved one spot on her fourth-place finish last year.
"That is awesome," said Gardner of her placing. "I am so proud of myself, and my hard work is paying off a little bit at a time. I only had two more matches after my loss, so I figured I my as well give it all I got."
Only 33 seconds past before Gardner won her fourth- or third-place match. She hardly broke a sweat.
"I want people to notice me, you know, college and stuff, so I took it to 'em," Gardner said with a grin. "I am very excited (for next year). I am going to work a little bit harder and get to where I want."
Teammate Kylee Dekoekkoek (145) also improved this season and showed heaps of promise for her senior season.
Dekoekkoek finished in eighth place, dropping both her matches Saturday, but she is a key piece to Nooksack Valley's promising girls' wrestling future.
"It's great, and especially for her because she has another year," said Gardner of Dekoekkoek. "She was able to participate this year and will kick booty next year."
Mount Baker, which entered Saturday second in points and had five wrestlers advance to semifinal matches, wasn't able to compile enough wins to vie for a team title, but several individuals earned top finishes.
Megan Young (130), Jessica Mata (124), and Akemi Schwinden (235) each took home fourth-place medals, while freshman Natalie Smith settled for an eighth-place medal.
"It feels so good," Smith said. "I tried really hard. I would be upset if I didn't try and got sixth place or something, but I tried really hard, and I got the place I got. Hopefully next year I get better."
After losing her semifinal match, Mata pinned Mabton's Jazmin Mendoza in 2:25 before losing her third- or fourth-place match.
Young grinded out a 7-5 overtime win against Washougal's Erin Locke after dropping her semifinal match. She lost 16-11 in her final bout.
Schwinden, a freshman, proved how bright her future is with a 10-0 win against Lynden's Lisa Hernandez after her semifinal loss.
Hernandez (235) was one of two Lions to earn medals. She finished in sixth place, and teammate Thalia Veliz (170) brought home an eighth-place medal.
"They did really good," said Lynden coach Santos Gallegos of his duo. "They are beginners. Veliz had one year under her belt from junior high, and this is Lisa's first year. Lisa came out with a positive attitude. She came into the wrestling room and said, 'Hey coach, I'm going to there,' and she is here."

9 Tasting Notes
I don't do herbal infusions much at all. I seldom drink them, just like my black tea. However, I was very pleasantly surprised. This infusion is tart, fruty, with a hint of floral. It was very smooth. I did ice this one, and yum! It was even better. By itself, or maybe combined with a black tea over ice, it is very nice. Hmm, 3 very's, must be good.
So, this was not a real favorite of mine. It has a nice aroma, especially the wet leaf. It was like warmed fruit from a hot oven. It has just a hint of fruit, with a little astringent after taste. May be better iced.
I liked this tea. It has a very pleasant, mildly fruity tea. It had no bitter after taste that green teas sometimes have.
Yum! This makes a very nice ice tea. This tea is mild, fresh, with a hint of mango, with a very pleasent aftertaste.
This tea took me by surprise. When I opened the package, I was a little unsure I would like it. The aroma was a mix of both pleasent, and a bit odd. However, once brewed, I was rather pleased. I did 3 brewings with the same leaves, and could have gotten a few more, I am sure. The first cupping was smooth and fruity, but not overpowering. The second cupping was milder, with a hint of sweetness. The third was similar to the second. Once totally cooled, I could tell this tea would be great iced.
I am not much of a fruity tea gal. When I opened the package, and caught the aroma, I was a bit wary, as it smelled really fruity. I was pleasently surprise. This tea I found to be smooth, with just a hint of fruit, and a hint of sweetness. It has a mild mango aftertaste, with little astringency.
I love this tea. It is one of the finer English Breakfast style teas I have found. It is a strong, yet smooth tea without being astrigent.
What a great cup of tea! With a splash of milk, this tea gives a lively, yet smooth cup. It was a hit at a recent cupping.
I recently offered this tea at a cupping I did. It was well received. I found it to be smooth, with just the right balance of Rose. Not perfumy at all.

Bathrooms Showroom Warrington
Telephone: 0844 484 7678 (Option 3 > Option 1)
Opening Times:
Hi there! Welcome to the Better Bathrooms Warrington Showroom. My name is Ken and I'm the store manager here at Warrington.
After the huge success of the store in Wigan, the opening of a second store was never in doubt. With our distribution centre having just opened in Warrington, it seemed practical to also open a store there! Located just outside the town centre in Stockton Heath, the new showroom allows our customers to come and view our stunning range of suites, baths and furniture, before dropping in at our collection centre to pick up their bathroom purchases the same day!
Being the second Better Bathrooms showroom to open, the Warrington store has had a lot to live up to, especially when following in the footsteps of the Wigan showroom. Although we don't have the beautiful railway arch setting, our store does have the added benefit of an extra floor, which means we are able to pack in even more great deals and offers. In case you can't find exactly what you're looking for in store (we can't show everything!), we also have two dedicated internet terminals where you can surf the Better Bathrooms.com website to see our full and extensive collection.
Finally, when I was asked to write this piece for the website, I was asked what one thing I was most proud of about the Warrington Showroom. For me that was easy and required very little thought, it's the staff we have working here, who offer all our customers superb service and advice when making their bathroom purchases. We sincerely believe in our motto of 'Better Prices, Better Service, Better Bathrooms.
Kindest Regards,
Better Bathrooms Warrington
Store Manager

Over the next four days the potential for falls above 25mm will be confined to the western parts of Tasmania and the Darwin Daly and Victoria River district in the Northern Territory. Elsewhere falls are likely to be less than 15mm with most closer to 5mm or less. The rain across the north is associated with a slow moving and relatively weak tropical low off the north west of the NT.
Rainfall in the south east is associated with two weakening cold fronts that will favour western Tasmania for the better falls. The second front will introduce a pool of much colder air. This front will weaken to a trough as it moves off the NSW coast overnight Monday with an East Coast Low then expected to form along the trough somewhere off the south coast on Tuesday. This will see an increase in rainfall about eastern Victoria and along the southern half of the NSW coast.

Achievement of World's Highest Areal Density on Linear Magnetic Tap
An increase in worldwide data storage volume, forcing the manufacturers in producing larger capacity data storage media. But in order to increase the storage volume of magnetic tape storage media, it is necessary to micrify the particle size and increase the recording density. However, this procedure is extremely cumbersome using metal particle as one of the most popular material among the magnetic tape media market, all due to keeping the high coercivity for high density recording. Based on this challenge, Fujifilm has developed BaFe (Barium Ferrite) particles in achieving the world's highest areal density of 29.5 billion bits per square inch on linear magnetic tape ,paving the way in manufacturing a 35 terabytes of data capacity per cartridge , 44 times the data capacity of today's industry magnetic tape product.
