Foamglas insulation for Corpus Christi College
Pittsburgh Corning
Rick Mather Architects specified Foamglas cellular glass insulation for a roofing system for an auditorium for the Corpus Christi College, Oxford.
Foamglas was judged to be able to insulate the building and at the same time provide the compressive strength needed to support the roofing system.
Richard Keep, associate at Rick Mather Architects, said: 'Foamglas was installed with a single-ply membrane and a timber or stone roof deck on top of this.' Foamglas cellular glass insulation is available in a range of compressive strengths from 400kN to 1600kN per m2.
Keep added: 'As a practice we have used cellular glass insulation many times as it meets high-performance criteria but at the same time has very good eco-credentials, which is incredibly important to the ethos of our practice.' Manufactured from 68 per cent recycled glass and a small element of carbon, Foamglas cellular glass insulation is totally impervious to water, does not deteriorate with age and its thermal properties remain constant.
Its core is totally non-combustible (Euroclass A1) and it cannot contribute to a fire or give off toxic fumes.

Is property affordable? The devil's in the index
Richard Livingston If I ask the question "is property affordable?" you'll have an opinion, or quickly form one.
Make property your business
Mark Bouris Regardless of why you invest in property, there are a few things to keep in mind.
Property investors hogging first-home market
Clancy Yeates What's more risky about a property boom based on investors?
Property base solid
Brian Han Integrated real estate group Mirvac has investors excited about its focused strategy
Rise in property prices threatens to grow bubbles
Clancy Yeates Low rates and a buoyant auction market are breathing new life into an age-old debate: are Australian house prices at risk of entering bubble territory?
Unless you're rich or love risk, property's door is closed
Richard Livingston Discussions about residential property often descend into a debate about values. For the record, I think property is overvalued
Mark Bouris
Confidence revival boosts property
Mark Bouris Economies come down to households having confidence to commit to property purchases.
Abandoning the banks for shares and property
Peter Martin and Gareth Hutchens Australians are ditching banks and ploughing their savings into real estate and shares.
Buying property abroad no holiday
It could be the opportunity of a lifetime. Certainly a lot of people think so as they take advantage of the high Australian dollar by picking up bargain properties in the US or Britain.
Property becalmed as financial storms rage
The fallout from overseas tempests mean values here aren't going anywhere fast, writes David Potts.
Property feels the global pinch
Philip Hopkins PROPERTY sentiment in Victoria has turned sour and is the second worst in the country.
Rental gains raise property hopes
Chris Zappone SLUMPING home prices and persistently poor housing affordability helped lift quarterly rent yields for the first time in nine months, raising hopes for an improved real estate market this year.
Smart ways to climb the property ladder
Penny Pryor Project engineer Emma Challands would like to be in a position to retire before 40.
Property investing: cash towers over trusts
Carolyn Cummins The virtues of investing directly into property by asset acquisitions or indirectly through real estate investment trusts have been brought to the fore.
Deflating speculation on the property bubble
David Potts Home prices will halve over the next few years, says the only forecaster to have predicted both the record sharemarket run to 2007 as well as the subsequent GFC. And that was in 1993.
Gloomy property outlook
Nicole Pedersen-McKinnon THE champagne tasted a little sweeter this Melbourne Cup, thanks to the Reserve Bank's line-ball decision to reduce interest rates.
Game changer in decision to opt for SMSF
Richard Livingston It makes sense to control your own super fund if you limit your costs to 1 per cent.
Wolf of Wall Street: Reformed but far from sheepish
Katherine Rushton He's now a reformed character but Jordan Belfdort used to be the embodiment of Wall Street excess – so much so that Martin Scorsese has made a film about him.
Looking at new year directions
Richard Hemming What are the big themes that are likely to affect little companies next year?
Trend finally going in right direction
David Potts Lost in the fact that economists have been cutting their forecasts for next year is that they still expect growth to improve.

Open road is the only home I know
There's no place like the road,
The place I used to call home.
For four summers long,
I will sing this song.
The places,
The faces.
The sweat and the tears,
Hasn't been seen for three long years.
Going back on the road,
There's no place like HOME.

lostlife1325 wrote:omg if anyone at dimension actually reads what the fans have to say read this please.
first why are u guys acting like you dont care about the franchise i mean really todd farmer writing. have u looked at his resume he hasnt written one good movie. they've all been the bare minimum of shit, not to mention the fact that hes only written about 6. and patrick lussier, just what is he doing here directing, editing yes hes great with that, but directing. again none of his movies with him in the directors seat have been anything worth seeing and again hes directed only 8 films.
so i ask dimension wheres the quality, wheres the "i give a fuck so i will hire those who have experience". although rob zombie changed the franchise and his vision wasnt perfect at least he had ideas and created another light to look at these characters. this team behind this new film is lack luster and will probably end up killing laurie like jamie was in 6 because they dont want to deal with the complex mess that is her character now. but u know what have some balls, write for her, make her evolve from a victim and be ready to take on mike for everything hes taken from her. its way more personal with zombies version. so please use that. give us a epic ending. give us someone we can cheer for. but above all do not give us the same old same old because i own that film already and i love it and i wanna see something new. so please hire people with more experienced and who love the films or give us something to help us believe these two are capable. :slasher: :slasher: :slasher: :slasher: :slasher:

The Dem Chairman Who Compared Nikki Haley To Hitler's Lover Makes Me Hate Everything
6:30 pm, September 5th | by Laura Donovan
The DNC is in full swing, and you know what that means, right? Stupid comparisons in speeches are in order. Two days ago, DNC executive director Patrick Gaspard likened former Alaska governor Sarah Palin to "Harry Potter" villain Lord Voldemort and S.C. Democratic Chairman Dick Harpootlian insinuated Wednesday morning that governor Nikki Haley was similar to Adolf Hitler's lady friend by doing news briefings in a basement studio at the NASCAR Hall of Fame:
"She was down in the bunker a la Eva Braun."
After a day of being married, Braun and Hitler took their own lives in a bunker, presumably because World War II was ending. Not the kind of people you want to be linked to, even in jest. Hitler comparisons have become so commonplace, it's hard to take offense from them, but that doesn't make the rude remarks any less malicious.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. —
Pittsburgh nearly derailed No. 4 Notre Dame's hopes for a national championship. Instead, the Panthers were left with a loss that is sure to sting for a while.
Ray Graham had a stellar performance, rushing for 172 yards on 24 carries and the Panthers had several chances to put the unbeaten Fighting Irish away, but just couldn't pull it off. Everett Golson scored on a quarterback sneak in the third overtime to give Notre Dame a 29-26 victory after Pitt squandered a 14-point lead.
"We had opportunities and we didn't take advantage of them enough," Pitt coach Paul Chryst said. "That's what this game comes down to."
The Panthers (4-6) went ahead 17-6 after Pitt linebacker Eric Williams intercepted Irish backup quarterback Tommy Rees at midfield. Tino Sunseri then threw a 43-yard pass to J.P. Holtz, then threw a 9-yard TD pass to Holtz. The Panthers made it 20-6 on a 21-yard field goal by Kevin Harper.
The Panthers were hoping to follow in the footsteps of the 2007 Pitt team, which was 4-7 when it won 13-9 at No. 2 West Virginia on Dec. 1 to knock the Mountaineers out of the national championship game. But this time they just couldn't find a way to hold on.
"A couple times I thought we had it sealed, but that's why you play to the last whistle. You never know what's going to happen," Pitt linebacker Joe Trebitz said.
Pitt appeared to have the game all but clinched when cornerback K'Waun Williams intercepted a pass by Golson in the end zone. But the Irish defense held, and Golson completed a 45-yard pass to DaVaris Daniels at the Pitt 5. Golson then threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Theo Riddick and ran in for the two-point conversion to tie the game to force the overtime.
The Panthers had a chance to win the game in the second overtime when Irish running back Cierre Wood fumbled as he attempted to dive into the end zone Pitt safety Jarred Holley recovered. Kevin Harper could have won the game, but he missed a 33-yard field goal wide right following Wood's fumble.
"We missed a field goal, that's why we lost the game," Pitt quarterback Tino Sunseri said. "It came down to a special teams play, we didn't make the play. Give credit to Notre Dame for being able to finish it off."
All five Notre Dame home games this season have been decided by a touchdown or less, while the four games away from Notre Dame have been decided by an average margin of 28 points.
Kelly had urged his team to play better at home, but they continued to make mistakes. He told the Irish they had to play better against Boston College, Wake Forest and Southern California.
"I told them that they have to understand that everybody they play against will play their absolute best. Next week BC will play out of their minds against us. Wake Forest will. They can't just highlight certain teams on their schedule because they will play their best," he said. "I think that's a lesson learned."
Chryst, though, said all the Panthers shared in the loss, pointing out the Panthers were 1 of 14 on third down conversions while the Irish were 10 of 20.
"I think that you can take a look at all of our phases, all three phases we could have done something more to make that one more play and give you a chance," he said.
It was the best all-around game for a wildly inconsistent Pitt team that lost to Youngstown State and Syracuse, but beat Virginia Tech.
"All we have to do is come in every week and play like this and it will be pretty hard to beat us," cornerback Lafayette Pitts said. "We can't play to our competition. We have to play like this every week."

But his range is very limited and it shows. I get the feeling that if he had been a real working comic for 20 years instead of the beach bumming, he would be amazing all around. Although he's still not quite as bad as Barry Sobel was...
Shane seems fine in audio, but I've only seen one photo of him and he looked like SUCH a douche. Apparently from your report it carries through in video, too bad.
As to your first point, who knows WHICH part of the show is "forced" on Artie and which is his idea? I certainly think the reduction in sports content and the guest comics are Artie's doing, while the has-been-never-was-band tour is clearly the company's doing, but in between who knows.

On Wednesday February 9, the Petoskey Film Theatre showed the movie Gasland as one of its weekly features in the Carnegie Building. The 2010 Sundance jury-prized documentary focuses on communities in the US impacted by gas drilling and fracking.
Not all reviewers have been kind. Energy in Depth writes: "Unfortunately, in the case of this film, accuracy is too often pushed aside for simplicity, evidence too often sacrificed for exaggeration, and the same old cast of characters and anecdotes – previously debunked – simply lifted from prior incarnations of the film and given a new home in this one."
Gasland producer/director Josh Fox responds to Energy in Depth, point by point, here. He adds: "It is truly unfortunate that the gas-drilling industry continues to deny what is so obvious to Americans living in gaslands across the nation instead of taking responsibility for the damage they are causing."
While not commenting on the film, Sourcewatch says of Energy in Depth: "[I]t is a pro-oil-and-gas drilling industry front group formed by the American Petroleum Institute, the Petroleum Association of America and dozens of additional industry organizations…. In June, 2009, Energy in Depth started a multimillion dollar lobbying and public relations campaign aimed at derailing public health legislation that would require the disclosure of the chemicals used in fracking fluids."
Rebecca Keegan, Los Angeles Times, Energy group targets Oscar-nominated 'Gasland'
Wiki's overall assessment of the film, its festival prizes and Academy Award nomination, and its controversies, is here.

Product information to health professionals
Companies are breaking the rules by ...
providing health professionals with materials that violate Article 7.2. Companies equate product information with an opportunity to advertise. The materials they provide to health workers more often than not consist of nothing more than product promotion. Scientific and factual information is sometimes included but few, if any, of the materials are restricted to such matters. In addition, many of the materials favourably compare bottle feeding to breastfeeding and few contain the points required by Article 4.2.
International Code: Article 7.2 Information provided to health professionals regarding products within the scope of the Code should be restricted to scientific and factual matters. Such information should not imply or create a belief that bottle feeding is equivalent or superior to breastfeeding, and it should comply with Article 4.2. |

Undisguised promotion
Some materials collected do not contain any scientific or factual information, such as this Abbott Ross leaflet for health workers in Brazil which shows only a picture of a baby on the cover. The company uses the inside text to create anticipation about a new formula by praising its characteristics yet never mentioning the product by name.
Nestlé produces a glossy colour leaflet for Lactogen 1 and 2 for health workers in Indonesia. The leaflet advertises Lactogen 1 and 2 economy packs. Although the "Important Notice" complies with Article 4.2, it is in very small print and mentioned only at the end.
Information or Promotion ?
Most company produced materials add some scientific and factual information to the product promotion. In Croatia, a brochure for Pikomil 1 has a large colour picture of two tins of Pikomil 1 and a feeding bottle on the cover. The drawing of a bottle is used as an icon for each sub-heading inside the brochure. The Pikomil 2 brochure is similarly designed.
Pikomil brochures in Croatia..
In Pakistan, Lyempf brochures for Bebelac EC claim that it is a "fully adapted infant formula for healthy babies requiring Extra Care". It is recommended for use from birth onwards. Other Bebelac products are mentioned within as being "perfectly interchangeable". The glossy brochure with a picture of a healthy baby is more an advertisement for Bebelac than scientific or factual material.
Wyeths S-26 and Promil booklets distributed to health professionals in Colombia are 2-dimensional copies of the real tins. The S-26 "building blocks" logo is displayed on every other page of the S-26 booklet, and the formula is repeatedly compared favourably to breastmilk. The Promil booklet features its own logo on every other page.
large, glossy, colour S-26 and Nursoy brochures
containing minimal scientific information, if any, given to
health workers in Colombia.
In Brazil, Nestlé provides paediatricians with a little manual "Medicamentos Habitualmente Usados Em Pediatria" (Frequently Used Drugs in Paediatrics). The Nestlé name and logo are prominent on the front and back covers. The inside cover advertises Nan HA under the caption " the Nestlé solution for prevention of cows milk allergies".
Another Nestlé publication, the Manual de Gastroenterologia Pediatrica, also advertises Nan HA on the inside front cover and other special formulas on the inside back cover as "the Nestlé solution for special diets".
Health professionals in Brazil also receive regular mailings from Nestlés Scientific Information Service in colourful customised Nestlé envelopes. A typical mailing in July 1997 included an announcement about the new ingredients in Nestogeno 1, which simultaneously promoted Nestogeno 2 and Nestogeno Soy. There was also a glossy booklet about the minerals and vitamins in Nestlé Mom, a formula for pregnant women and lactating mothers, and, conveniently, a copy of the Nestlé Annals with scientific information on "vitamins during pregnancy and infancy".
The Nestlé Beba leaflet in Hungary shows packshots of Beba 1, Beba 2 and Beba H.A. on the cover page and again on the inside. Only one page is dedicated to information about the constituents of the formulae. The back of the leaflet advertises the range of Nestlé infant cereals starting at four months. At the bottom of this page is the "important notice" which, ironically, is in the smallest print of the whole leaflet.
This Abbott
Ross folder containing some scientific information is given
to health workers in Brazil.
The folder itself and each section divider advertise Similac
Advance 1 and 2..
In Argentina, Bago/Nutricias pamphlet for health workers advertises Nutrilon products. Separate pastel-coloured cardboard cut-outs of cartoon figures also advertise each product individually.
Some cartoon cut-outs from Bago/Nutricias
promotional material for Nutrilon in Argentina.
Misleading Information
This Nestlé brochure for Lactogen 1 in Indonesia opens up to read " The ratio of micronutrients in breastmilk is ideal ..." on one page, and "New, Lactogen 1 with improved ratio of micronutrients" on the facing page. The illustration under the first caption shows drawings of children with mineral deficiencies, while the facing page promotes Lactogen 1 as the answer to adequate micronutrient intake. Such material is misleading and unethical.
Pictures or text idealizing the use of formula
Pictures of healthy happy babies have always been used to idealize the use of breastmilk substitutes. Mead Johnson, Nestlé, Abbott Ross, Wyeth and Snow Brand are among the many companies which use such pictures in their product-related materials.
In Argentina, Nestlés leaflet for Nan 2 which promotes other Nan formulas such as Nan 1, Pre-Nan, Nan HA and lactose-free Nan uses a baby picture to idealize the use of its formulas. So does Dumexs leaflet for Mamex in Thailand.
In Spain, Milupa brochures for GEA, SOM 1, SOM 2 with the picture of a baby and the caption "Youll always find a solution in Milupa" are given to health workers, and are freely available to mothers in health care centres.
A Nestlé brochure used by Nestlé Health Educator nurses in the Philippines promotes Nestogen 2 as "the nutritionally complete, good-value-for-money follow-up formula". The material also uses the phrase "If breastfeeding is not possible, ..." which implies that it is common for mothers not to be able to breastfeed.
The Nestlé Nidina leaflet in Argentina shows the picture of a happy couple with their baby, and the product. Similar family pictures or mother and child pictures, cartoon baby animal characters, flowers and the like are used to idealize the use of formula.
Pictures idealizing the use of breastmilk substitutes.
Advertisements in healt worker's publication
Advertisements to health workers in professional journals rarely comply with Article 7.2. A few examples include the following: The Journal of Paediatrics, Obstetrics and Gynaecology in Indonesia carries a full page advertisement for Nestlés Lactogen 1 and 2. The sentence beginning with "If breastfeeding is not possible for any reason ..." immediately conjures the possibility of mothers not being able to breastfeed for various reasons. Lactogen is then recommended as the best choice. The same Journal advertises Nutricias Follow-on formula, Nutrilon.
In Spain, Abbott Ross advertises Similac in the Pediatria Rural y Extrahospitalaria . The full page advertisement consists of a photo of a baby surrounded by stars with the caption "A new age in infant nutrition". A similar advertisement for Similac Advance appears in professional journals in Colombia.
Wyeth advertises SMA in at least nine professionals journals in New Zealand using the slogan "And heres your old favorite SMA."
Advertising is found even in the professional associations own publications. A special supplement to the monthly publication of the Pakistan Paediatric Association, on the occasion of the 8th National Paediatric Conference carried a front page advertisement for Nestlés Lactogen 1, recommended from birth, with the "Important Notice" in very tiny, almost impossible to read, print.
Implying that formula is equivalent to breastmilk
A brochure for Nestlés Nan 1 in Colombia boldly promotes Nan 1 as the best alternative to mothers milk. It compares the percentage constituents of two elements of breastmilk and formula and show it to be equal. Another Nestlé brochure advertises another of its brands, Nestogen 1, as the best alternative.
A good alternative ...
The best alternative...

Can you take one more of this Four Leaf Clover Pure Innocence girl? I needed two thank you cards so coloured them both up at the same time. I used the same Basic Grey Origins paper but changed it up just a bit.
I've been seeing lots of people break their sentiments up like this (mainly Joanne and Jody) and as I was short of space, it worked well for me here. For my glitter shape, I cut an outline with my Blossom Nestabilities and covered it with Versamark and Heat & Stick powder. Then I adhered some Martha Stewart Peridot glitter. I think the rest is pretty straightforward although you can't see the baubles I added in the top right corner.
Hope you have a great weekend friends! We're off to shop for windows and I'm hoping to get some stamping time too!

Welcome to the NEW official web site of
the Pipe Creek Civil War Round Table
16 years and counting! Come Join Us! HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Our Christmas Social will be Saturday, December 7th, 6:30 - 9:00 p.m. We meet at the Wellness Center at the Carroll Lutheran Village. Please bring a dish to share with those attending. Period dress is optional. XXXX We're just south of Gettysburg... We of the Pipe Creek Civil War Round Table ask you to journey with us through a land and time not too far distant. Here in Carroll County, Maryland, we have not lost our connection to the past. The hills still shimmer in the morning sun. Fields of corn still rustle in the breeze. The roads still lead up from Virginia, on to Gettysburg, over the mountains to Antietam. It is only a short ride through time to see the roads clogged with troops, to hear the clatter of Confederate horse on Westminster streets, to witness all the spectacle and tragedy of a country which tore itself apart on our doorstep not too long ago. We remember, and we bid you remember with us. Join us here in this still quiet corner
of the Maryland countryside and learn of our Civil War heritage. Try to
feel the pain of a border state, rent asunder by politics, driven to the
madness of internecine conflict. Ride with us as we explore the past and
try to take its lessons on into the future. We welcome you in the
present, to Carroll County. Now, we invite you to come back and meet our
forefathers. Member of THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF CARROLL COUNTY, INC. |

Home > Archives for adidas snowboarding
Not to be outdone by Nike, adidas also dropped a big web release this week with their 15 minute portrait of franchise rider Jake Blauvelt. You got to hand it to Jake, one of the chillest and styliest dudes in the game deserves some props.
It was rumored forever and the team news hit last fall but as of SIA this past week, adidas gave us a solid look at what it's going to mean for them to be in the snowboard game. Taking a cue from other sneaker brands that have done it, adidas is starting their program with heritage, taking the Samba and flipping it into a shred boot. How does it ride? We don't know yet but are looking forward to time on snow in them later this winter. Let us know what you think and check out a couple more looks after the jump.
adidas proudly welcomes Jake Blauvelt as the first team rider for the adidas Snowboarding program. To kick things off, they made Jake a signature apres shred boot just in time for the snow to start falling. Keep your eyes peeled for other team announcements soon and the full line of adidas Snowboarding products to drop for the 2013/14 season. Closer look at the boots after the jump.

Shoot Your Kids - In High Definition
Of course, there are plenty of memories you'd like to savor and share with family, friends, and people you meet on an airplane. Mega-pixel digital photos are fine, but most of us are from the generations reared on moving images from the mother-of-all-babysitters, the TV. Still images don't totally satisfy us. We hunger and thirst for video. Now that so many of us are hooked on the breathtaking beauty of HDTV (the Consumer Electronics Association estimates that there'll be nearly 15 million HDTV sets in US households by the end of 2005), we want our precious memories to be in high definition, too.
Never ones to shy away from money being thrown at them, Sony and JVC already offer HD camcorders for the oddly named "prosumer" - a person who's neither a professional nor a run-of-the-mill consumer. He lives in that expensive nether world where the pro gear is just too costly (and typically too big and heavy) but the low-brow stuff designed for the average Billy Bob or Betty Joe is beneath him. Sony's new HDR-HC1, a small HD camcorder that'll sell for around $2,000, aims to put high-definition camcording in more hands than ever - bringing home-grown HD within the reach anyone who can qualify for 12- or 18-months No Interest Financing.
The HDR-HC1 is surprisingly light (about 1.5 pounds) and shoots in surprisingly low light. Sony says the excellent low-light capability comes from the company's CMOS imaging sensor technology which is "designed to deliver faster image processing speeds for richer colors, more vivid detail, and significantly less glare from reflected light." (Which is a good thing since, in a sense, unless your looking directly at the sun or other light source, everything you see is reflected light. But let's not argue semantics.) Sony also says that the camcorder's Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T*lens enhances the image's richness and clarity in both bright and low-light environments. Moving images benefit from the CMOS imagers and Sony's Enhanced Imaging Processor technology.
But who cares about image quality? What the average mom or dad wants is something that's light and easy to hold. (Just kidding - image quality is important, but size, as they say, does matter, too.) In addition to being half the price of Sony's earlier model (HDR-FX1), the HDR-HC1 weighs about half as much as its predecessor due to its compact lens, fewer circuit boards, and lower power consumption. The low power requirement means the HDR-HC1 camcorder can pack a smaller battery (an InfoLithium M battery) and still provide around 90 minutes of recording time.
The new must-have camcorder includes a 2.7-inch wide, hybrid, touch-panel LCD screen for framing shots, viewing recorded video in the field, and accessing menu options. When recording in DV mode (standard definition) for the huddled masses, you can switch between 16:9 and 4:3 on the LCD screen to see exactly what those poor, deprived folk will see on their TVs. In high-definition mode, the HDR-HC1 records in 1080i on standard MiniDV tapes (conforming to the HDV format specifications). The camcorder will also have fully automatic controls, a built-in microphone, an "intelligent" pop-up flash, and Super SteadyShot image stabilization.
For those moments when you don't want to shoot video (shoot video not people I always say), the HDR-HC1 can take 2.8-megapixel digital still images and store them on a Memory Stick PRO Duo flash memory card in the camera. Sony says the HDR-HC1 is the only HD camcorder (and one of only a handful of regular camcorders) capable of snapping a 1-megapixel digital still picture whilst simultaneously recording high-definition video. How sweet is that?
Other features of the camera include 10X optical and 120X digital zoom, a Cinematic mode which records video with a film-like appearance, and recording high definition in "total darkness" using Sony's Super NightShot Plus Infrared System. There's no word yet whether or not the model's NightShot technology will have the ability to "see" through clothing as some of Sony's first camcorders using the feature could. (Sadly, Sony quickly modified the technology to eliminate the X-ray vision aspect. Some people just have no sense of humor...)
Sony says the HDR-HC1 will be available in July, 2005. At the same time, a full line of optional accessories (custom cases, lights, lenses, microphones, batteries, chargers, and cables) will be available for the videographer who has plenty of money to burn and wants to impress the other overly competitive soccer dads (and moms) on the sidelines.

South America
There are so many countries to visit in South America, the most notable being Chile, Argentina and Brazil. The Chileans are known for their wines, which arequite delicious. A short trip outside of Santiago takes you to the old seaside town of Valparaiso, full of history; a walking tour is a must, along with a ride on the Venicular railway, not for the faint of heart.
Argentina is also known for its history and architecture, amazing steaks, along with the most stunning polo ponies on earth. And who can forget the Tango, this riveting dance first came from Argentina, along with die-hard football (soccer) fans!
Brazil, well who hasn't heard of the song, Girl from Ipanema. Staying in the Copacabana Hotel overlooking the soft white beach, definitely evokes a time in a gentler era. Discover colonial towns stuck in time, be adventurous and go horseback riding or kayak through the forests in the Amazon, there is so much to see and do.
Not to mention the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro 2016!
Peru is another country often heard of, with its Inca history, along with the Inca ruins, go surfing or wander through a part of the Amazon, where it is still possible to visit an indigenous area and participate in a shaman ceremony.
The Galapagos Islands are definitely on the bucket list, bird-watching, scuba diving is a common activity with fine white sand and amazingly clear water, allowing for incredible photographs of sea lions, manta-rays, turtles and much, much more.
Be adventurous; let us help show you the way

EMC purchase points to a battle in the clouds
By Ian GRAYSON
Storage giant EMC made an interesting move last week when it stumped up an undisclosed amount of money (presumably millions) for a company that's yet to launch anything.
The maker of enterprise storage equipment snapped up a small Seattle-based firm called Pi Corporation and plans to meld it into its so-called cloud computing operations.
Pi's 100 engineers have been beavering away on software that promises to change the way people store, access and use information. EMC obviously believes that whatever the clever boffins at Pi have devised is something that should be taken very seriously.
Now, all this sounds a lot like the hype that blossomed during the heady days of the dot-com boom. Then, almost any company with a cool name and the promise of some paradigm-shifting product could expect bucket loads of cash to be thrown in its direction.
But in these cooler, more considered times, you actually need to have something that's likely to work. For Pi, that appears to be some very clever web-based applications that will change the way you work with data. While details are very sketchy, it appears to be about unhooking that data both from physical devices and existing software applications and letting it lose in the internet cloud.
According to the company's website, "Pi's mission is to deliver products that will allow users to create, repurpose, store, share and access personal information in novel ways, taking advantage of the ubiquity of computing power and a new interconnected world."
Now that doesn't give a whole lot away but it does sound kind of exciting. To my thinking, cloud-based computing makes complete sense and will be the way most information is stored and accessed in the not-too-distant future. Google is leading the rush, closely followed by Microsoft. And with this purchase EMC has clearly indicated it doesn't intend to miss out on all the fun.
Making the purchase even more noteworthy is the fact that Pi Corporation was founded by a former Microsoft employee, Paul Maritz. Maritz left Microsoft in 2000 with a swag of money and has been involved in various philanthropic activities since.
Now he's joining EMC to guide the company's cloud strategy which points to some very interesting times ahead.
In five year's time, the purchase may well be seen as a significant step in the evolution of personal computing.

Food Access
The farm is committed to promoting access to our healthy, locally grown food for all community members. We achieve this goal through donations to area food pantries and through establishing affordable, innovative retail distribution strategies in under-served neighborhoods.
Food Pantries
In 2010 we donated over $20,000 of produce to five area food pantries including the Greater Boston Food Bank, Milton Food Pantry, Grow a Row for Haiti Food Pantry in Mattapan, Rosies Place and the Quincy Food Bank.
Affordable Markets
We have partnered with the Mattapan Food and Fitness Coalition to bring Brookwood produce to the Mattapan community through the establishment of a new farmers market in Mattapan. This market was one of the first Boston markets to accept SNAP benefits (food stamps) and participates in State programs to provide produce vouchers to low-income seniors and WIC recipients.
In 2011 we launched a new affordable produce market at Mattapan's Gallivan public housing complex. The project, called The Good Food Market at Gallivan, offers residents a grocery bag of produce for just $5 through a weekly farm stand. Customers are also able to use EBT/SNAP (food stamps) and through a program sponsored by the City of Boston, receive 50% discount on purchases made with EBT.
