KNOW YOUR HISTORY: Memorial Day was started by former slaves on May, 1, 1865 in Charleston, SC to honor 257 dead Union Soldiers who had been buried in a mass grave in a Confederate prison camp. They dug up the bodies and worked for 2 weeks to give them a proper burial as gratitude for fighting for their freedom. They then held a parade of 10,000 people led by 2,800 Black children where they marched, sang and celebrated.
Lest We Forget: A Brief History of Memorial Day
Today, May 27, is Memorial Day, the day we honor and remember our fallen service members. From the Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Public and Intergovernmental Affairs comes the following brief history of the origins of Memorial Day (read more).
Three years after the Civil War ended, on May 5, 1868, the head of an organization of Union veterans — the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) — established Decoration Day as a time for the nation to decorate the graves of the war dead with flowers. Maj. Gen. John A. Logan declared that Decoration Day should be observed on May 30. It is believed that date was chosen because flowers would be in bloom all over the country.
The first large observance was held that year at Arlington National Cemetery, across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C.
(For a timeline on the origins of Memorial Day, created by the U.S. Army Center of Military History, click here.)
The ceremonies centered around the mourning-draped veranda of the Arlington mansion, once the home of Gen. Robert E. Lee. Various Washington officials, including Gen. and Mrs. Ulysses S. Grant, presided over the ceremonies. After speeches, children from the Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphan Home and members of the GAR made their way through the cemetery, strewing flowers on both Union and Confederate graves, reciting prayers and singing hymns.
By the end of the 19th century, Memorial Day ceremonies were being held on May 30 throughout the nation. State legislatures passed proclamations designating the day, and the Army and Navy adopted regulations for proper observance at their facilities.
(For a photo gallery of historic photos of Memorial Day observances from the Libray of Congress, click here.)
It was not until after World War I, however, that the day was expanded to honor those who have died in all American wars. In 1971, Memorial Day was declared a national holiday by an act of Congress, though it is still often called Decoration Day. It was then also placed on the last Monday in May.
Gen. Logan's order for his posts to decorate graves in 1868 "with the choicest flowers of springtime" urged: "We should guard their graves with sacred vigilance. ... Let pleasant paths invite the coming and going of reverent visitors and fond mourners. Let no neglect, no ravages of time, testify to the present or to the coming generations that we have forgotten as a people the cost of a free and undivided republic."
(For President Obama's 2013 address "Giving thanks to our fallen heroes this Memorial Day," including video, click here.)
The crowd attending the first Memorial Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery was approximately the same size as those that attend today's observance, about 5,000 people. Then, as now, small American flags were placed on each grave — a tradition followed at many national cemeteries today. In recent years, the custom has grown in many families to decorate the graves of all departed loved ones.
The origins of special services to honor those who die in war can be found in antiquity. The Athenian leader Pericles offered a tribute to the fallen heroes of the Peloponnesian War over 24 centuries ago that could be applied today to the 1.1 million Americans who have died in the nation's wars: "Not only are they commemorated by columns and inscriptions, but there dwells also an unwritten memorial of them, graven not on stone but in the hearts of men."
To ensure the sacrifices of America 's fallen heroes are never forgotten, in December 2000, the U.S. Congress passed and the president signed into law "The National Moment of Remembrance Act," creating the White House Commission on the National Moment of Remembrance. The commission's charter is to "encourage the people of the United States to give something back to their country, which provides them so much freedom and opportunity" by encouraging and coordinating commemorations in the United States of Memorial Day and the National Moment of Remembrance.
(For text of Obama calling for Memorial Day to be a day of prayer for permanent peace, click here.)
The National Moment of Remembrance encourages all Americans to pause wherever they are at 3 p.m. local time on Memorial Day for a minute of silence to remember and honor those who have died in service to the nation. As Moment of Remembrance founder Carmella LaSpada states: "It's a way we can all help put the memorial back in Memorial Day."

This article is propaganda.
This article is propaganda. The reason they moved Memorial day from May 1st to May 30th was NOT because of blooming flowers it WAS to prevent solidarity between the citizens and soldiers of the USA and the rest of the world.
Following President Abraham
Following President Abraham Lincoln's assassination in April 1865, there were a variety of events of commemoration. The first well-known observance of a Memorial Day-type observance after the Civil War was in Charleston, South Carolina on May 1, 1865. During the war, Union soldiers who were prisoners of war had been held at the Charleston Race Course; at least 257 Union prisoners died there and were hastily buried in unmarked graves.[12] Together with teachers and missionaries, black residents of Charleston organized a May Day ceremony in 1865, which was covered by the New York Tribune and other national papers. The freedmen cleaned up and landscaped the burial ground, building an enclosure and an arch labeled, "Martyrs of the Race Course." Nearly ten thousand people, mostly freedmen, gathered on May 1 to commemorate the war dead. Involved were about 3,000 school children newly enrolled in freedmen's schools, mutual aid societies, Union troops, black ministers, and white northern missionaries. Most brought flowers to lay on the burial field. Today the site is used as Hampton Park.[13] Years later, the celebration would come to be called the "First Decoration Day" in the North.
I agree with Tim below, Know
I agree with Tim below, Know your history. memorial day started in 1865, 3 years prior to your "claim". and it started by black slaves, not the head of some Union organization (a white man I presume taking credit).

SILENCING COLOR: In this winning illusion, the color of every dot in the doughnut changes over time. When the doughnut rotates, the colors continue to change, but viewers do not notice these changes—perhaps because the motion stifles awareness of the shifting colors—even though they can accurately report the current color of the dots if asked.

Jordan Suchow came to three rapid-fire conclusions as he watched his Macintosh laptop plummet toward the floor. First, in approximately 300 milliseconds he was going to be in a heap of trouble—the machine had been given to him by his thesis adviser, George Alvarez of Harvard University. Second, hoping against all hope, he decided that Harvard could probably afford to buy him a new computer. Third, he realized that the most important observation of his life was unfolding right in front of him as his laptop accelerated toward the parquet: the onscreen doughnut that he had programmed to scintillate appeared to have stopped doing so.
Suchow's Ph.D. research project on cognition and attention had required him to program a visual display in which every element changed continuously, hence the scintillating doughnut. While working on the project at home, Suchow pulled his Mac from a coffee table to his lap. During the transfer, he noticed that the cycling of the doughnut's colors seemed to slow down. Startled, he dropped the machine altogether and was fascinated to see the color cycling cease completely as the doughnut fell.

Hi guys, I don't use this screen any more so I've decided to sell it. It's a Benq G2400W 24" monitor that runs at 1920x1200. It has 1:1 pixel mapping so is great to hook up to a PS3 or 360, as well as a PC. TN panel, so fast for gaming (5ms) but image quality is actually very good. Pic: Anyway looking for £140inc.
Christ sake, deals always pop up after my dollars gone. Spent £130 on clothes and odd bits on saturday, im looking for a 24" screen too >.< Ill try and get back to you.
Hmm, I was thinking about it tbh. What would you be offering? I notice you're in the US, not sure if I would be willing to send it that far in case it got damaged in transit or anything...
Just go to your local post office. Graphics card would cost about 11-12 pound to send + 2-3 pound for the insurance. I send a small passive GPU to Brazil for £8.40 including all the insurance It needed. Hope the info is handy, opens up the market a great deal sometimes.

350 Artists
Art is communication. We use art to explain, both to ourselves and to others, what is happening on our planet. Art can change the way a person or a whole society thinks about something. 350.org is about communicating a number that symbolizes our collective future, and whether we fail or succeed to avert the worst effects of climate change. 350 is a difficult number—to understand, to explain, and to realize what it truly means for life on Earth.
That is why we are calling on the artists, the communicators of the world, to help us to derive meaning out of this crisis, and to share that urgency in a hopeful and inspirational way. We can register climate change with satellites and scientific instruments, but can we register it in our imaginations, the most sensitive of all our devices?
This movement needs your help to spread the word, and to inspire people to get involved and take action. Art has always been a major source of inspiration to social movements around the world, and this one will be no exception. Together we can make the climate movement as inspirational and as meaningful as it needs to be.

- " Dead center in Airlie with a massive bar, so recommended if you wanna party (hard). Staff was really good and friendly... will come again (to party) "
- 22 Jun 2013 Anonymous Germany
- " The hostel had a great bar attached to it, where those staying at the hostel could receive a voucher for 50% of any of their regularly $13.00 meals (meal came with a beer of your choice). As for the hostel itself, it wasn't much to look at, and the pool was closed off and covered. The nightly rates were fairly cheap, and it was the only hostel where a 4-bed private room could be booked. The rooms were clean, but also not much to look at. Beds were uncomfortable and the A/C wasn't working. "

A grassroots movement (often referenced in the context of a political movement) is driven by a community's politics. The term implies that the creation of the movement and the group supporting it are natural and spontaneous, highlighting the differences between this and a movement that is orchestrated by traditional power structures. Grassroots movements are often at the local level, as many volunteers in the community give their time to support the local party, which can lead to helping the national party. For instance, a grassroots movement can lead to significant voter registration for a political party, which in turn helps the state and national parties.
Grassroots movement procedures to organize and lobby include:
The earliest origins of the use of "grass roots" as a political metaphor are obscure. In the United States, an early use of the phrase "grassroots and boots" was thought to have been coined by Senator Albert Jeremiah Beveridge of Indiana, who said of the Progressive Party in 1912, "This party has come from the grass roots. It has grown from the soil of people's hard necessities".[1]
In a 1907 newspaper article about Ed Perry, vice-chairman of the Oklahoma state committee, the phrase was used as follows: "In regard to his political views Mr. Perry has issued the following terse platform: 'I am for a square deal, grass root representation, for keeping close to the people, against ring rule and for fair treatment.'"[2] A 1903 news article on a campaign for possible Theodore Roosevelt running mate Eli Torrance quotes a Kansas political organizer as saying: "Roosevelt and Torrance clubs will be organized in every locality. We will begin at the grass roots".[3]
Faking a grassroots movement is known as astroturfing, which, as the name suggests, is named after AstroTurf, the iconic brand of artificial grass. Astroturfing means pretending to be a grassroots movement, when in reality the agenda and strategy are controlled by a hidden, non-grassroots organization. In this manner, a faux show is presented, consisting of robotic individuals pretending to be voicing their own opinions.[4]

Aerospace teaming up with NASA to create an expandable module that -- attached to the International Space Station.
Joining us now the founder and president of the -- airspace.
With more on -- and the future of expandable -- modules in space exploration.
Concern we love this story got to tell anyone out the Bigelow expanded well.
Activity module is what -- stands for tell us about it.
It is a expendable system for habitation only use and it is NASA's first experience -- on orbit.
We using that kind of facility we have had.
To prior launches with Genesis one and Genesis two that are still in space still in lower low earth orbit.
And so we have had some years of experience with -- -- so we're very excited to be working with NASA and to be building this project for them.
So Robert how does this work is it like -- I'm envisioning who almost like a -- on the ocean you know you pull recorded it inflates.
Is that basically what you do in space you -- set it up yet.
He is you you know use security and then you just basically inflate it.
That's more or less the the general concept but you must remember that.
Expendable systems have been around for.
A hundred years -- that are are very common and you.
Drove to work today on an expandable system you've no -- been using them for decades so.
The tires on our cars are expendable systems -- and we recognize that they are very strong.
Very durable and that's a good metaphor for the kind of of spacecraft reliability that were -- What makes it better -- NASA commit seventeen point eight million dollars to two years to do this it you know we used -- wire -- watch and they all.
Narrow tin can go up in space what makes -- better now as opposed to the old schools rocket ship.
There there are several features -- really are important.
In fact almost any in area that is important for life -- aluminum cans do not measure up.
Outside the magnetosphere averse outside of Leo.
It is not desirable to be an aluminum structure because of background galactic radiation effects.
But more importantly from a cost standpoint.
On a single launch you can get at least several times in our case three times the volume on launch that saves a lot of money.
For rocket costs.
Also Mark Shields are superior so in in space -- you know there is debris.
There are meteorites and our shields are able to defend.
Against those impacts better than the aluminum cans are because actually.
In the in the case little -- can it doesn't just punch a -- causes they rent and so it causes a a a split if you will.
And in and we have done testing that establishes that in our and our aerospace plant.
-- you say the ultimate plan is to make space station's cheap efficient and available full rent.
Now I can tell you that the rents in New York City through the roof huh.
I would say to the -- but what would -- -- -- -- on something like this open space.
If if somebody wants to RC costs right now the -- to -- cost that we have from SpaceX as a provider.
Is two point six million dollars.
That's favorable and in relation to.
The forty million that private folks have paid and you must remember that NASA is paying 63 million dollars -- -- right now to the Russians.
So 26 isn't too bad from that kind of context.
Especially if it's a large corporation or even a nation that's -- making that payment.
We also can -- volume and time on board.
So we can -- Two or three months of -- for about 25 million dollars very for a volume that's that would be at the same size.
As the largest module on the International Space Station actually be about a 10010.
Cubic metres while.
Well Robert used to run hotels I suppose at a minimum you know they'll be comfortable all the I think that are bigger love they give -- take any data view of that today.
Thank you mark my pleasure.

Most men know that exercise is good for them. But if exercise means a trip to the gym or a 5-mile run, exercise becomes a "spectator sport" for too many men. Vigorous exercise is great for guys who are so inclined, but for many others, there is a kinder, gentler way to exercise for health. The scientific study of exercise blossomed in the 1960's and 1970's. Researchers used a tool called the maximum oxygen uptake test, which measures the amount of oxygen sucked up by the lungs, pumped by the heart and delivered to the muscles during maximal exertion on a treadmill or stationary bicycle. Improvements in the maximum oxygen uptake — also called the VO2max — quickly became the gold standard for judging the benefits of exercise. Research showed that the biggest improvements in the VO2max depend on exercise that is intense enough to raise the heart rate to 70% to 85% of its maximum heart rate for 20 to 60 minutes continuously, at least three times a week. The aerobics doctrine was born along with the no pain, no gain school of thought. The aerobics doctrine gained acceptance just as Olympic champion Frank Shorter and marathoner Bill Rodgers proved that Americans could run. Running became the symbol of aerobic exercise and the marathon took over as the icon of success. Despite extraordinary individual achievements, however, the aerobics revolution did not succeed in getting our nation off its collective duff. The aerobics doctrine inspired the few but discouraged the many. A relatively small number of lucky people discovered the benefits (and pleasures) of aerobic exercise. But by proclaiming that the only way to really benefit from exercise was through aerobic training, doctors discouraged people who found aerobic activities, such as running, too difficult. According to the "gospel of aerobics," golf was the perfect way to ruin a 4-mile walk. But we now know that's wrong. New studies show that it's possible to attain nearly all the health benefits of exercise without high-intensity activity that leaves you drenched in sweat. That means moderate exercise, such as walking, biking, and gardening can help you get fit. Exercise intensity is less important than the overall amount of time spent exercising, and intermittent exercise is as effective as continuous activity. In fact, golf is beneficial, as long as players walk the course and play two to three times a week. Research involving more than 320,000 people from around the world proves that regular moderate exercise can reduce risk factors, such as high cholesterol, high blood sugar, blood pressure and body fat, which we expect will improve health and reduce the risk for many chronic diseases. Although we don't have the advantage of randomized clinical trials that evaluate the effects of exercise on cardiac events and mortality in healthy men and women, doctors have data from 48 trials of patients with proven coronary artery disease. About half of the 8,940 patients studied were randomly assigned to receive the best medical and surgical care available, while the others got the same standard of care and participated in a cardiac rehabilitation program based on moderate exercise. The exercisers came out on top. They enjoyed a 26% reduction in the risk of death from heart disease and a 20% reduction in the overall death rate. It's powerful evidence that exercise protects the heart — and what's good for ailing hearts should be at least as beneficial for healthy ones!
If reducing risk factors for cardiovascular disease were the only benefit of moderate exercise, it would still be vitally important. But moderate exercise also helps:
I know what you're thinking: There must be some catch. There isn't. To get the astounding health benefits of exercise merely takes walking at a moderate pace for 30 to 40 minutes a day, with the goal of covering about 2 miles. If you need to lose weight, build up to 4 miles a day. Remember you can divide your walking into 8 to 12-minute segments throughout the day if that's more convenient. And you can substitute other activities, such as climbing stairs, gardening, biking, dancing, swimming, playing racquet sports, or yes, even golfing — as long as you walk the course. Moderate exercise is the key to exercising for health. But many people will get extra benefits by adding exercises for strength, flexibility, and balance – not necessarily at a gym under the watchful eye of a trainer, but at home in just a few minutes a day. And a prudent diet is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle to prevent many of the chronic illnesses that plague modern societies. Medical science continues to make astounding advances. It has taken the collective effort of many dedicated scientists to bring us back to the wisdom of Hippocrates.

TRI-CON – Diagnostics, Drug Discovery & Biologics: Oh My!
February 21st, 2011
Posted by Shane Climie, Ph.D.
Sometimes, between the hotel room, the lectures, the networking, the power lunches and the data consumption at a conference, you're on the plane home before you have time to reflect upon why you attended in the first place. I'm excited to be heading to the 18th International Molecular Medicine Tri-Conference in San Francisco this week—and I'm setting out my reasons for going this year beforehand.
I always look forward to this conference because of its balanced range of life science topics, including those with technical, scientific, business, strategy, regulatory and reimbursement slants. Within this balanced range of topics, the Tri-Con uses a channel structure to help attendees "tune in" where they can get the biggest bang for their buck. I'm excited to learn more about the following specifics within each channel:
- Diagnostics—Rapid changes are taking place on the diagnostics stage this year. Personally, I'm interested in molecular diagnostics, personalized diagnostics, cancer markers and circulating tumor cells (CTCs). I'll be tuning in to discussions on the adoption and integration of the next generation of sequencing, companion diagnostics and the use of/characterization of CTCs.
- Drug discovery & development–Here, sessions promise updates on translational science, including the use of biomarker technology to support drug development. Read the rest of this entry »

Music to heist to: Payday 2′s musical masterpiece
Payday 2 is an intense heist-em-up. To hammer home the epic action and tense stealth play it needed a great soundtrack and boy does it have one hell of a score. VG247′s Sam Clay spoke to the composer Simon Viklund to get a peek inside his mind.

Bungie releases entrancing song from Destiny soundtrack
At the Activision booth at E3 they had a 122-ft. superwidescreen projection screen called the Ronut (it wrapped around where viewers stood to watch) showing off their games. It had a sort of demo reel for Destiny in the rotation, and Bungie today released the track from the game that played over the reel. It's by Marty O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori, it's called Awakening, and it's quite good. Listen here. Kinda gets me excited about the game.

As a motorcycle rider himself, Attorney Carl Nagle understands the ever-present risks that riders face each time they venture onto public roads and highways. By integrating his more than 20 years of motor vehicle accident experience, time spent as a former claims adjuster and insurance defense lawyer, and his knowledge of the dangers riders face, Attorney Nagle is able to handle motorcycle accident cases with a deep level of insight and a keen understanding of the common causes of motorcycle accidents. Aware that motorcycle riders face unique challenges when filing personal injury claims, including undervalued claims and unfair compensation, Attorney Nagle and his team of North Carolina auto accident attorneys emphasize the importance of diligent case preparation when representing injured riders.
Riders who exercise their right to recover damages from the at-fault party require seasoned and aggressive advocates on their side of the courtroom. Insurance companies will often do everything in their power to minimize victim claims, including highlighting many of the stereotypes associated with motorcycles. While riders face challenges during the claim process, the firm's commitment to the welfare of clients and their families enables the legal team to work relentlessly toward securing the maximum compensation for medical car and physical recovery, emotional damages, and any other financial expenses associated with an accident and injury.
Attorney Nagle and his team have represented countless injured riders throughout the state of North Carolina. As one of the few states that still apply the doctrine of contributory negligence in motor vehicle accidents, North Carolina affords defendants the opportunity to avoid liability by showing that a victim's negligence played at least some role in causing the accidents. Insurers will often try to bluff the plaintiff into accepting a low settlement offer by raising the contributory negligence defense in motorcycle accident cases. With proper counsel to help you understand all of your available options and sources for compensation, you can make the most viable decision as to which options best suits your unique situation and needs.
By working with an attorney who has unmatched insight into the ways in which insurance providers handle motorcycle accident claims, you can also greatly reduce your risk of being unfairly compensated. As he is able to anticipate the tactics and strategies used by insurance companies, Attorney Nagle is able to craft claims that keep momentum and pressure applied to insurance companies and make it known that the firm is prepared for success at trial. In addition to ensuring that riders' rights to fair compensation are protected, the firm also makes sure to handle any additional matters victims and families may face in the wake of tragedy, including property damage claims, medical payment claims, and health insurance filings, all at no cost.
Injured motorcycle riders throughout the state can turn to Nagle & Associates, P.A. for the highly experienced and aggressive representation they need to recover their damages. A practice that intently focuses on overcoming the insurance company's opposition to paying victims what they rightfully deserve, the firm offers each injured rider the comfort of knowing that passionate and insightful legal minds will be hard at work on their claims from the moment they reach for help. If you or your loved one has recently been injured in a motorcycle accident, please request a free case evaluation to learn more about your rights, the potential merits of your claim, and how the firm can help resolve your case in your favor. Trust in a firm that has recovered millions of dollars in compensation on behalf of clients. Contact Nagle & Associates today.

Comments about Mountainsmith Carbonlite Pro Trekking Poles (pair):
This is my first pair of trekking poles so I've not much to compare them to. However, at 6'4", 236lbs I used these poles on a 5 mile trek that ascended 1100 feet while carrying 43 lbs in my pack. The poles made a world of difference as they helped put my arms into the effort and made the overall hike much more efficient.

Devolver Digital is apparently involved in the Serious Sam: The First Encounter HD coming to Xbox Live, and it has been discovered by BigDownload that the company is owned by none other than Mike Wilson and Harry Miller.

When contacted by the site, Wilson said he and Miller "along with a few other old friends" are involved in the venture.
"We're basically acting as the production company for the XBLA game, since we are not an official MSFT publisher yet, and will be publishing the PC version of the games," he said.
"Croteam owns the IP still since they had a G.O.D. deal, and are therefore able to work with us again on the new version(s)."
They're baaaaack.

Health bosses asking public about changes to local NHS services in Winchester area
5:31pm Friday 11th October 2013 in News By Rachel Masker
PEOPLE are being asked for their views on the future shape of hospital services in Winchester and Eastleigh, including maternity.
Bosses at Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which runs Winchester, Basingstoke and Andover hospitals, have been working on proposals for a new emergency care unit since 2012.
Now GPs have a bigger say in the commissioning of services, local people are being consulted.
Speaking after a roadshow at the Royal Hampshire County Hospital, Dr Nigel Sylvester, medical director of West Hampshire Clinical Commissioning Group, said: "For the first time, GPs have more of a direct role in the planning and buying of services on behalf of the local population.
"The clinical commissioning group has an important role as a purchaser of care while the hospital trust's role is to provide it. We all need to work together.
"The idea is to get a sense of what really matters to people. We have a responsibility to listen to the public."
Planning for a new emergency hospital started at the end of 2012. It would take the sickest 20 per cent of patients, including major trauma victims, heart attacks and strokes.
The new unit would have specialist consultants on site 24-hours a day, seven days a week. Less serious A&E patients would go to a minor injury unit in Andover, the RHCH and Basingstoke hospitals.
Other more controversial proposals include moving consultant-led maternity care and the special care baby unit to the new emergency unit.
This would see maternity services at Winchester and Basingstoke downgraded to midwife-led centres for straightforward births. Andover already has a centre.
More complicated cases, including caesarean sections and pregnant women who feel safer in a hospital setting, would go to the new unit with obstetricians and high tech care.
However the maternity ward could be separate from the emergency hospital although linked and include a midwife-led centre for active births, say health chiefs.
Potential stumbling blocks include longer distances for visitors to travel.
Now HHFT, North Hampshire Clinical Commissioning Group and West Hampshire Clinical Commissioning Group, have launched a joint public consultation.
People are being asked to say what is most important for them in five different scenarios - non-urgent, urgent care, emergency care, visiting and maternity.
Health chiefs say the feedback will help them plan better services. A second formal public consultation will be held once the final proposals have been drawn up.
For a questionnaire: contact firstname.lastname@example.com tel: 01256 313062.

Before dinner, let guests mingle around a wickedly indulgent wine and cheese spread, including black fruits, crackers and breads. Play classical music in the background. (Try a web search for "somber music." Our pick: Bach's "Come Sweet Death.")
Squat, stemless Cinderella pumpkins work great as pedestals for cheese trays. We chalked our own black labels for cheeses and wine bottles. Let tarnished silver pieces add to the dark ambience; use them as unique perches for small pumpkins. Spray-paint branches white or black and anchor them in tall cylindrical vases for eerie accents. Last, coat an old mirror with torn book pages and layers of decoupage medium to reflect ghostly images of your guests.

CRAiLAR flax to be blended with the Lenzing fibres
11th May 2012, Victoria, BC and Portland, OR
Naturally Advanced Technologies (NAT) which produces and markets CRAiLAR, a natural fibre made from flax and other bast fibres, has entered a joint development agreement with leading cellulosic manmade fibres producer Lenzing.
The agreement calls for the companies to evaluate the blending of CRAiLAR Flax fibres with Tencel (Lyocell) and Lenzing Modal.
Lenzing's high-quality fibres are primarily used in the textile industry in women's outerwear and sportswear, as well as the nonwovens industry in for example hygiene products. The agreement, which was signed on 24 April, calls for CRAiLAR to be evaluated according to specifications for any of its cellulosic fibre categories.
"This is an important development for CRAiLAR Flax in that, to-date, both of our commercial and exploratory partnership agreements have been focused on how CRAiLAR can blend at varying levels with natural fibres for apparel, home and industrial applications," said Ken Barker, Chief Executive Officer, Naturally Advanced Technologies.
"With Lenzing, we can now evaluate the opportunity to expand the host fibres with which CRAiLAR can blend to identify new performance attributes, applications and industries. This is truly a new frontier for the future of our natural fibres, and working with the global leader Lenzing creates a very powerful industry platform in both sustainability and performance. This partnership will have applications in industry sectors where polyester fibres have been the norm, in addition to our existing applications as a sustainable complement to cotton."
Sustainability principles
Lenzing is a pioneer in global fibre markets dating back nearly 75 years. Its raw material for fibres is wood, which is the basis for producing dissolving pulp subsequently processed into cellulose fibres.
Its commitment to the principles of sustainability has led Lenzing to be recognized for setting some of the highest environmental standards in the industry. It recently introduced its eco MicroModal fibre at Paris Fashion Week in February 2012, and shortly followed that with the announcement of a record-setting year at the company behind double-digit growth in sales and profits.
"With CRAiLAR Flax and the applications that we have discussed to date, we look forward to taking advantage of its unique attributes, and to extending the range of products we can introduce with CRAiLAR Flax to our global brand partners," said Peter Bartsch, Head of Marketing Apparel at Lenzing.
According to NAT, both companies saw their leadership position in the market, with a particular expertise in sustainability, as an advantage during a volatile 2011 fibre market.
This led naturally to exploratory opportunities for their fibres that could innovate and extend each company's product platform. The intent of the agreement is to create a range of yarns suitable for the fashion and sport performance industries that:
- Prominently feature Tencel, Lenzing Modal and CRAiLAR's industry-leading sustainability platforms
- Leverage each company's water absorption and wicking properties to create an alternative existing fibre material used in athletic and sport performance
- Create a blended yarn using CRAiLAR, along with Lenzing's cellulosic fibres, which can be introduced to the women's fashion market, where Lenzing has long been a leader with a strong presence
NAT today supplies its CRAiLAR Flax to HanesBrands, Georgia-Pacific, and Brilliant Global Knitwear for commercial use, and to Levi Strauss & Co., Cintas, Carhartt, Ashland, Westex, Target and PVH Corp for evaluation and development.
NAT is in construction on its first full-scale production facility in Pamplico, South Carolina, and anticipates it will be delivering fibre from the facility in Q3 2012. It will partner with Tintoria Piana and Barnhardt Manufacturing on the processing of that fibre. The Company's current fibre is being produced at its pilot facility in nearby Kingstree, South Carolina.

Posted: Nov 21, 2012 2:29 PM by Associated Press
Updated: Nov 21, 2012 2:29 PM
PHOENIX (AP) - A court proceeding on a misdemeanor hit-and-run charge against Arizona Attorney Tom Horne is being postponed.
Horne's attorney Michael Kimerer requested and obtained a delay in a pretrial conference that was scheduled Wednesday in Phoenix Municipal Court.
Kimerer's request says pretrial fact-finding has been extensive and that he needs more time to evaluate the evidence and decide whether more investigation is warranted.
Horne is accused of not leaving a note after he tapped another vehicle while driving a borrowed car earlier this year.
The accident was observed by FBI agents who conducted a campaign-finance investigation of Horne.
Horne says he didn't think the other vehicle was damaged. He has pleaded not guilty.
If convicted, he could be sentenced to up to 30 days in jail and fined up to $500.

How to fix the single most annoying thing in OSX Lion: Bring back tap-to-drag
The new gesture controls in Apple's OS X Lion operating system update can take a little getting used to on a MacBook (such as the new 11-inch and 13-inch MacBook Airs). The reverse "natural" scrolling, for example, has its fans and detractors, and we've previously shown you how to roll back that particular change.
Potentially more annoying is the change from the tap-to-drag trackpad gesture to a new three-finger-drag gesture. In fact, it's probably the single most annoying Lion feature we've found so far.
Traditionally, one could could do a double tap, then hold … Read more

Cost or Investment for the Future?
Are you approaching your mobile project as an expense or an investment for future? If you see it as just another expense in the budget, there are many professional app development firms who will get the job done, but we focus specifically on the college and university app niche and understand that investing in mobile development is critical for the future of your institution.
Collegiate Apps Experience:
Return on Investment (ROI) is incredibly important to the success of your mobile app projects and we focus on strategies to maximize it for you! Whether its in dollars like sales revenue, merchandising, sponsorships, and advertising or in other metrics like downloads, users, time-spent, and market-reach, we present you with an analysis of all your options.
Before we even start on your project, we'll make a plan that will show you how and when your mobile app will start paying returns on that initial investment. In our experience, the following factors will play a role in determining your mobile project's total cost:
- Platforms chosen (iPhone, iPad, Android, Mobile Website, etc.)
- How many features your app offers
- Will the app integrate with your current content management systems or utilize our API's (monthly fee)
- Will you host your own content or use our service (monthly fee)
Estimating Development Costs with Other Firms:
After seeing all of the benefits mobile apps can provide your college or university, the next logical question relates to cost. To get a general idea, check out the following articles from around the web:
- iPhone Development Costs - OS X Daily
"it's not unusual for an iPhone developer to charge well over $100/hour to do contract iOS development, but realistically the hourly range is anywhere from $50/hour to $250/hour"
"Relatively Simple or Small App: $3,000-$8,000″
"More Complex or Recognized Brand App: $50,000-$150,000″ - Want to build a mobile app? Here's how to convince the CFO – Silicon.com
"A Forrester report last year [2009] set the price of a no-frills app at a minimum of $20,000 – and reckoned a more sophisticated app could set you back up to $150,000."
- How Much Will my Mobile App Cost to Create? - Accella, a mobile app development company
"Simple, static apps typically fall in a price range of $8,000.00 – $20,000.00 (per platform) depending on the amount of information that has to be displayed in the app. Dynamic apps generally average from $12,000.00 – $30,000.00 (per platform) depending on the complexity"
- The Cost of Building an iPad App – PadGadget.com
"For a nice but simple app…your total budget is around $35,000."
"For a nice high end app…at the end of the day, your app will likely cost you at least $200,000." - iPhone App Sales, Exposed – TechCrunch
"the average total development cost [iPhone only] amounting to $6,453″
So to sum up, a relatively simple app is going to cost you a minimum of $6,000 per phone platform (iPhone, Android, Blackberry)
On the other end, a more complex app is going to cost you anywhere from $12,000 to $30,000 per platform, leading to total project costs upwards of $150,000.

For more than 20 years, professional dog groomer Linda has kept her canine clients' fur healthy and neat with a number of services and treatments. Linda's standard grooming services clean pups from nose to tail, as she shampoos fur, clips nails, and cleans ears. During full grooming services, Linda trims fur with hand scissoring techniques specific to each breed.
This specialized kitty and doggie depot is a one-stop shop for all pet needs, including standard toys and treats, and an impressive selection of unusual merchandise. The stocked shelves include more than 200 stylish collars (many for $19.99), lovely leads ($19.99), and decorative bowls for dogs and cats (starting at $10.99).
Bentley is a poodle–shih tzu mix with hair flowing down the floor. His distrust of strangers was so intense that he couldn't even go into a PetSmart without getting kicked out. The same story applied to Brodie, a rescued poodle, who snapped at every groomer he ever had. But because she was a certified trainer before becoming a groomer, Mandi Gorton could read their signals and knew when they just needed to chill out and when they needed to know they were safe. Now the two dogs are among the most well-behaved clients of The Green Paw Spa. As Gorton observes, dogs—like people—are just more agreeable when they know cookies and massages are coming.
When Gorton describes The Green Paw Spa as a "holistic pet salon," she means every word. Each appointment begins with Gorton bringing the furry client to a relaxed state. Then she starts pampering with organic, biodegradable shampoos and conditioners. Her own dog, a border collie mix named Wamba, has allergies so intense that just the air of a traditional grooming salon causes her to break out in hives. So to help keep her and all dogs healthy, Gorton bans harsh chemicals from the spa, right down to the furniture, which is made of recycled materials. In fact, the South Bark blueberry facial she uses is so pure that it's edible, which probably explains why most dogs don't mind having it worked into their snouts. Further eco-friendly touches include a bathing system that uses approximately 2 gallons of water to wash a dog, compared to the 10–15 gallons used by traditional baths, and a pet taxi that carpools companions back and forth from their homes to save owners gas and let dogs brag to their friends about having a chauffer.
Mocha's Pet Salon, named after the owner's dog, operates under the philosophy that pets should be groomed in a place that's as relaxing and stress-free as home. The salon's team strives to build a cozy environment where pooches feel comfortable while they're getting bathed, trimmed, cleaned, and pampered with oatmeal treatments. As a result, dogs of all shapes and sizes prance out of the salon's two locations looking, feeling, and smelling like a million bucks.
The Barking Lot's doggy-sitters understand that canine parents like to check in on their pups throughout the day. Six days a week, they post Facebook photos of day-care dogs romping around the 8,000-square-foot, climate-controlled playground. Three days a week, they post YouTube videos of especially exciting moments, such as a game of chase in the large dog play area or a round of Red Rover in the small pooch zone. Dogs who spend the night snuggle into a comfortable kennel outfitted in fleecy bedding. Calming music plays as pooches snooze, and optional play times, cuddling, and even bedtime stories can keep pups from feeling homesick.
In addition to providing a fun place to play and spend the night, pet- care techs ensure pets are safe: rubber floors cushion joints, and workers are certified in pet first aid and CPR. Select staffers also use their canine knowledge to teach training classes or groom pups and cats from nose to tail.
Jack's specializes in all-natural and love-infused gourmet dog treats for hungry hounds and discerning dachshunds. Gift a greyhound a packet of Cesar's Pizza Pies ($6.50)—miniature, pizza-flavored treats made on organic whole-wheat pastry flour—and watch the famished beast feast on the fresh oregano- and olive-oil-sprinkled treat, or satisfy a squirrel-chasing schnauzer with a packet of squirrel-shaped, peanut-butter-infused Jack's Nuts About Squirrels ($6.50). If Jack's extensive display of doggy delicacies inspires your culinary creativity, grab a jar of Jack's Favorite Snack ($11.95), a take-home mix that comes with step-by-step instructions and a bone-shaped cookie cutter so you can serve up your terrier's favorite treat fresh from the oven.

Only about 200 ran the full marathon and a bit more than that ran the half marathon. It was well organized and on a nice, flat course. And where else can you run along and watch an F-15 do touch-'n'-go's??? That part was great and perfect timing for us.
After having run the NYC Marathon this past November, running the stillness and beauty of this course was a welcome contrast. The course was stunning (especially the horses). The jets flying over us gave me goosebumps. The organizers and volunteers were some of the nicest folks I have ever come across at a race. The warmth of the museum before and after the race was a huge plus. Thank you ever so much for putting this race on. Everything from the shirts, to the food, to the medals was perfect. We will be back.
Great marathon. The Air Force overseas was a nice touch. The volunteers on the course were great, since no spectators are allowed on the base. Great job of snacks and support at the aid stations. The museum visit is worth the trip. Several flyovers of a variety of planes made for an enjoyable view. The hosts were great.
Course was very flat with just one or two small exceptions. It was a beautiful and varied course: along the airfield, a wooded area, a lake, a residential area - all within the base. Very enjoyable. If you were going for a PR, it could be tough being so isolated. Although the spectators were enthusiastic and wonderful, there weren't many. Aid stations were generally well organized and very plentiful. However at mile 6 there was an incident where I had to wait for a cup of water to be filled for me. Wasn't a big deal for me, but I wasn't running this one for time. Great time of year for a nice cool but not too cool run.
The race is run on an Air Force base and crowd support is limited. Overall, it is an outstanding event - well organized and stress-free. The course is boring at times on the base, but it runs through a lovely wetlands area and is mostly flat. I would highly recommend this race.
Other than a small traffic jam getting into the AFB, this was a pleasant, low-key event. No lines at packet pickup, no crowd at the start, evenly-spaced and well-manned water stops, and a very flat course. One of my worries going in was that we'd have to hear loud planes taking off and landing. But they were all grounded (it was MLK Weekend), so it was actually the quietest race I'd ever experienced. Which was just fine for me!
This is a top-notch marathon. The course is two loops, making you mentally prepared for the second lap. There were bicycle riders that were a big help on the base. The museum made a great place for family members (children) to wait. The staff were excellent, and very patient.
Running on an Air Force base was different. Some of it was very boring (military buildings), but some of it was quite interesting and surprising (golf course, woods, ponds). Few spectators, but they were very enthusiastic. Two loops allow you to know where the hills are and where aid stations are. The museum was great, particularly for getting out of the rain and getting warm afterwards. They definitely need traffic control at the entrance to the museum as the traffic made for a very hectic start for my group. We drove 2 hours from Atlanta and got near the museum at 7 a.m. as planned, but sitting in traffic for about 20 minutes almost made us late to the start (after getting a number, etc.). Starting late helped us as we were still walking to the start at 8 a.m. But, overall a good race.
This was marathon #40 for me and my first in Georgia. The town of Warner Robins and the adjacent Robins AFB are about 90 miles southeast of Atlanta. There are plenty of reasonably priced motels, and if you are in government, you can stay on-base very inexpensively. Logistically, this race is a snap. A little bit of traffic getting on base to the museum, but aside from that, you can park a couple hundred feet from the museum and the start line. There was some traffic this year and the race director delayed the race 15 minutes so everyone could get their bibs. There were a few less than 200 marathoners, about 400 for the half, and also about 400 for the 5K. Sometimes a two-loop course can be boring, but this one was not because it goes through some visually interesting parts of Robins Air Force Base and you see more stuff the second time. This is a PR course. It is flat except for a small hill at about miles 10/20. The Finish line is at the front of the museum, which is nice for pictures, but it is uphill at the very end of the race! I would have liked that part to end on the flat side of the museum property, maybe in front of the WWII hanger. You are running on streets open to traffic but there were few cars and they all stayed well away from the runners. The turnaround for the second loop for the full marathoners is one the final stretch of the course for the half marathoners. It is difficult mentally to keep going when the pack of half marathoners is finishing, so I think it would be an improvement if the turnaround was eliminated and the second loop started along the straight-away of the street someplace. I think a couple of hundred feet could be added to the full marathon finish very easily to make up for omitting that turnaround. Packet pickup went very smoothly and it was inside of the museum where it was warm and comfortable. If I had to change anything about that, it would be to be able to pick up the packet the day before the race. I am fussy about being ready on race day and worrying about packet pickup and pinning on the bib just before the race is something I would want to avoid in the future. I gave high marks for spectators because those who were there were very enthusiastic. It is however on a military base and there just are not going to be cheering hoards of fans. However, those who did get on-base were great, so I gave this 5 stars. Plenty of food at the finish and a nice finisher's medal. The weather was not within anyone's control, but it was perfect for running - 45 degrees at the start, going up to the low 50s. The start was overcast with light rain starting about 3 hours into the race. That is my kind of running weather, so I liked it.
What a great race this was. In 17 marathons, I've never seen a better support group than the volunteers from the air force base at this marathon. They stood in the rain with us; most had no umbrellas. They were enthusiastic. They staffed ALL of the aid stations until the last runner finished. Thanks for a great job Warner Robins, GA!!! Mostly flat course - only three relatively small hills. Very well organized.
