America's lobster industry reports a bumper crop of lobster this summer, which experts say may be due to to global warming. (I'm not sure how that works exactly. Sounds like a lot of mommy and daddy lobsters just had a lot of extra time on their hands. I mean claws.)
So, if you love sweet, buttery lobster, good news for you, because prices have dropped to near-record lows, as low as $2.20 per pound fresh off the boat! Unfortunately, most restaurants haven't lowered their prices to reflect this, because...well...just because! But look for them in stores with lower prices.
This is only bad news for A. lobster fisherman, who are not making a profit and B. the lobsters themselves. Enjoy!

Go on a scavenger hunt around the house for what's already all over. The toys! Find them in every color of the rainbow!
We're going on a toy hunt!
A hunt for toys in the colors of the rainbow.
I started with drawing a rainbow on a large sheet of butcher [art] paper.
[That's it! Not much for prep!]
I sent Henry on a hunt for small toys of each color of the rainbow.
We had a fun time searching around the house for each color.
Henry arranged the toys onto the rainbow I drew.
It took a lot of toys!
And some testing to see what toys 'fit' onto the rainbow [some were way too large to place on such a small line].
It was a fun rainbow hunt to do with Henry.
And Henry wanted to keep our rainbow toy collage set up.
It was hard to keep George from it, but we did manage to keep it for a couple of days, when Henry was ready to put the toys away. Another adventure of using his dump truck to haul them all.
Some other scavenger hunts of ours:
- Rainbow Scavenger Hunt with Clues Printable
- Letter & Number Scavenger Hunt
- Outdoor Scavenger Hunt with Clues Printable
Henry is 3.5 years old.

Land of the Ice Bears Cruise by Lindblad Expeditions and National Geographic
Sea and sun are the hallmarks of most summer vacations, but the Land of the Ice Bears cruise is one of few to offer an unlimited quantity of both. Dreamed up by Lindblad Expeditions and National Geographic, the getaway features a never-setting sun and plenty of polar bears-just part of the reason it's a Luxist Awards' nominee in the Best Summer Cruises category.
Fly from the United States to Oslo, where you'll spend your first full day taking in the sights and sounds of metropolitan Scandinavia. Then board the fully stabilized ice-class expedition cruise ship that will transport you to Svalbard, a remote archipelago 350 miles beyond Norway's North Cape. This is the farthest that vessels are allowed to travel without an ice-breaker; still, there are plenty of floes bobbing in the icy fjords.
The wildlife, however, is anything but frozen. From the comfort of Zodiac boats and kayaks, you'll observe a plethora of creatures-reindeer, walruses, seals, arctic foxes, and of course, polar bears-frolicking amid the thawing tundra and surrounding seas. In the evening, you'll retire to your ship and its myriad amenities, including a bar, restaurant, gallery, library and lounge.
Spots on the Land of the Ice Bears cruise start at $7,500 per person (based on double occupancy) and run as high as $14,000 for the finest cabins, not including airfare. But for those intent on catching plenty of summer sun and really cooling off, this cruise is hard to beat.
Vote for the Luxury Family Summer Vacation that you think is the best of breed. The winner will be announced on September 1st.

Elmhurst Garden Club grows with community
ELMHURST – Established in 1926, the Elmhurst Garden Club has grown from a ladies club to a group that supports more than just its members.
"I think we do good work partly because of this garden walk we have," said Garden Walk Chairman Donna Fredrickson.
Since the club's annual Garden Walk began in 1995, members have raised more than $190,000, which they have donated to scholarship funds, the Elmhurst Park District, Elmhurst Public Library and most recently to the sensory garden project at Madison Early Childhood Center among other groups.

"Wow," "Awesome," and "I did it!," were among the many expressions heard in and around the Defense Department's (D0D) exhibits at the USA Science & Engineering Festival Expo this past weekend, October 23 and 24. The Expo was the culminating event of a two-week celebration of science and engineering in our Nation's capitol.
Under sunny skies, youth and adults packed five and six rows deep crowded 23 DoD booths displaying hands-on technologies used by military service members in the field and demonstrations of scientific and engineering concepts. DoD's participation was part of more than 500 exhibits and a full two-day schedule of stage shows and lectures on the National Mall and Freedom Plaza.
Technologies present included flexible and protective materials used in uniforms and vehicles, digital computer displays used in battlefield planning, three-dimensional air defense systems, the manipulation of robots via wireless sensors, and gloveboxes used to recreate construction and repair work done by astronauts in zero gravity.
Concepts taught included magnetic and acoustic resonance, conservation and environmental clean-up, propulsion, buoyancy, aircraft and boat design, genetics, and physics.
Several exhibits also demonstrated robotics through the popular remotely-operated vehicle, SeaPerch. Click here for a full list of DoD's exhibits.
A big thank to you DoD leadership for their support of the Festival Expo and to the many DoD participants who worked tirelessly to inspire youth and encouraging adults as educational partners. You can see a full gallery of images below or on the Armed with Science Facebook Page.

Evergreen veterans Michael Lynch and Nancy Arsenault both say they would like to get the word out that help is available for those who have served in the military.
Both the Department of Veterans Affairs and private organizations such as the American Legion offer assistance to those coping with physical and mental issues, as well as the transition to civilian life.
The American Legion is not just a social club but a source of support for veterans, says Lynch, who belongs to Post 2001 in Evergreen.

The Cougars freshman scored an improbable, if not impossible, goal with 2 seconds remaining to send the host Evergreen High crowd into a frenzy mere seconds after the 4A boys soccer state playoff opener seemed destined to go into overtime.
COLORADO SPRINGS — Camille Morales said that she couldn't have said it any better, but it's seemingly true when it comes to Evergreen High School cross country. It's not about the individuals as much as it's about the program itself. That truth has never been more so than it was in 2013.
Every day an average of 22 veterans commit suicide. Project Sanctuary, an organization that provides one-week retreats for soldiers and their families, is working to address that grim statistic, helping veterans, families of active soldiers, and GIs themselves who are injured on the inside and outside. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, between 2007 and 2011, Evergreen was home to 788 veterans — and that's not counting active-duty military.
Jeffco and its municipalities are starting to consolidate emergency dispatch services in the county into one centralized call center.

The world of visual and performing arts is constantly changing. Artists explore new techniques, different media, or the conceptualization of life's poignant themes in new ways. Just as the artists themselves are evolving, so are the people behind the scenes who are forced to track the changes and even evoke some of their own, to keep our local art scene vibrant.

The Social Media Hype Cycle: Can it Bring Us to Our Socially Happy Place?
By Michael Velasco | @MichaelVelasco | Managing Director, Digital, Ryan Partnership
"Facebook has failed!" screamed the media, as Facebook's stock price continued to tumble off its IPO price. Indeed, the headlines have been bleak. But Facebook is a microcosm of a macro phenomenon afflicting all of social media.
Facebook, the once great social network, is in danger from itself, and the promises either it made, or expectations heaped upon it by its users. It can either move on and evolve into something greater than itself, or suffer the fate of other great Internet companies before it, (GeoCities, Yahoo!, Netscape, MySpace … the list goes on and on), possibly dragging the rest of the social media industry down with it.
And while I could chalk up the recent history of the Internet's failed companies as a source of endless cautionary tales, two particularly valuable and relevant examples come to mind: Aol and Yahoo!
Both were pioneers and innovators in their time and both are examples of what not to do when it comes to running an Internet business. What they lacked is the ability to move beyond the business model that made them great, and evolve into one that provided sustained growth and success.
Facebook finds itself in a similarly troubling situation — it must evolve or die. (more…)

Comments about BILLABONG STILL DREAMIN' PONCHO:
I bought this awhile ago and wore it in a surf photo shoot for the photography studio I work for and it looked amazing! The colors just popped with the sun-rise and gave the photos it this rad vibe. The piece has a personality all by it's self! loved it the second I saw it but once the pictures went online everyone was raving over it and saying they loved it and wanted one!
It fits boxy, I wear with my friends when we have night fires but I wouldn't wear it too much around my boyfriend cause it doesn't give you any shape.
I love ponchos but this one is hands down my favorite, worth every cent! It's so rad!! <3

#126 – FUNDAMENTALS OR BASIS OF BELIEF – Thomas Griffith "We will get good out of evil. Our gracious Educator does evolve for us out of corruption, temptation and sin, new purposes, new skill, new triumphs. Beyond the overruling of intermediate evil into subserviency to a higher good, what has been superinduced as a transition state of things is therefore seen to be necessary only for a time. It will pass away with the functions which it is made to fulfill. It will at last be superseded by the highest good for everyone." |

We do not think man's evil can, in the long run of the ages, finally outspeed God's ever-pursuing mercy. He must overtake us sooner or later. We may temporarily choose evil rather than good, and vileness instead of nobleness, and be ungrateful and sinful. But God will get the better of us at last." |

#128 - This is a thrilling poem by Matthew Arnold, keeping in mind the following fact. Universalism was The Prevailing Doctrine Of The Christian Church During Its First Five Hundred Years hellbusters.8m.com/updcontents.html As students of the history of Christian doctrine know, among believers in eternal torment, Tertullian was one of the most extreme. That is why I think this poem is so powerful. It sent a thrill up and down my spine. "He saves the sheep, the goats he doth not save!" So rang Tertullian's sentence, on the side Of that unpitying Phrygian sect which cried, -- "Him can no fount of fresh forgiveness lave Who sins, once washed by the baptismal wave!" So spake the fierce Tertullian. But she sighed, The infant church, of love she felt the tide Stream on her from her Lord's yet recent grave, And then she smiled, and in the Catacombs, With eye suffused, but heart inspired true, On those walls subterranean, where she hid Her head in ignominy, death and tombs, She her Good Shepherd's hasty image drew, And on His shoulders, not a lamb, a kid. |

#129 – A POEM BY A.G. CAMPBELL I deem they greatly err, who hold That He Who made the human soul, Will not its destinies control For final good – but, wrathful, fold It in the shrouds of hopeless woe, Of deathless gloom, of quenchless fire, The creatures of His vengeful ire, Whence it can never ransom know. So, in the world to come, His love Shall freely unto all abound; Even prisoners in the depths profound Shall see His kind face beam above Their dreary cells, and hear His voice, Unheeded once, in mercy call, -- "Turn, turn to Me and live!" and all Shall hear the summons and rejoice. Lost men, lost angels, shall return, -- Satan himself be purified; Death shall be conquered in his pride, And hell's fierce fires shall cease to burn. Then shall our God be All in all – His love bear universal sway; His love preserves all souls for aye, Nor shall the weakest fear a fall. |

That even the wicked shall at last Be fitted for the skies; And when their dreadful doom is past To light and life arise.

#134 – DISPUTED POINTS – George Dawson "Take the doctrine in which most of you were brought up – that every man who is not saved will go to hell, and that hell is a constant fire whereunto a man must be condemned forever. I am told this is in the Scriptures. I can't find it; but if it were there I would not believe it. I was told that it was so, and I have no doubt I said it was so. But now I disbelieve it. If this is backsliding, I will backslide. Well, how came we ever to doubt this horrific doctrine? Not that any commentator with marvelous exegesis showed us that the text did not mean that; -- for I am but little interested in the quibble that the fire burns forever, but that the thing put into the fire burn only so long as it is capable of burning. What has put hell fire out is a better understanding of God, and a fuller comprehension of the quality of God's love. The love of God conquers the assertion of orthodoxy." |

Hey all, so I'm still trying to get to grips with PPro CS5.5 after moving from FCP. I'm trying to create a simple 5.1 mix and running into issues. I'm simply creating a new sequence and choosing 5.1 from the Tracks tab and from there I can drag a WAV onto either a stereo or mono track and in the mixer move the puck within the 5.1 area to send the audio to the desired speakers. But when I move the puck into the center channel the audio comes of my left rear speaker! Likewise if I move the puck to the far right middle still comes out of my left rear speaker. I'm going audio HDMI out over a displayport to my amp. Amp is showing 7.1 multi channel in.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

You've seen great black and white photos in art galleries, newspapers and fashion magazines, but the unique drama and expressiveness of a monochrome picture can be achieved at home, too. Here's how you can create a striking black and white photo with your Samsung digital camera.
Shooting in black and white is a bold decision that will immediately affect the mood of your photograph, no matter the subject. Black and white lends itself to a sense of somberness and muted emotion. Stripping color from a traditional shot of a happy occasion can make the scene come across as solemn, even weighty. This isn't a bad thing—a joy-filled event like a children's birthday party or carnival can benefit from the judicious use of black and white. But you'll have to choose your moments carefully, and be sure to take plenty of pictures in color during the session, as well.
How do you decide when and what specific subjects to shoot in black and white? Surprisingly, conditions that are the worst for shooting in color are often the best for shooting in black and white. Dark clouds, harsh shadows, minimal interior lighting—all of these situations will make for terrible color portraits, but are perfect environments for black and white.
What should you shoot? Experimentation will be your guide, but in general, it's a good idea to seek out unusual subjects and quieter moments. The dead-tired kids at the end of the party, the person sitting by himself and away from the crowd, the dog asleep instead of at play—these are the perfect subjects for a monochrome shot.
Some cameras include a black and white mode, but you'll get better results by forgoing a special mode and actually taking the shot in color. The secret: Shoot in RAW mode (which saves photos in uncompressed format, unlike the smaller JPG format), then convert the color image to black and white using software on your computer. (This has the added benefit of letting you decide after the fact if a photo actually looks better in color instead of black and white.)
You don't have to shoot everything in RAW—these photos take up considerably more storage space than JPGs—but if you think a setup might look good in black and white, change your mode to RAW and give it a spin. On the Samsung NX System, RAW is an option in the Photo Quality setting menu. If you aren't sure, the NX cameras can shoot two photos, in both RAW and JPG, simultaneously.
The other key setting is to dial down your ISO level. Higher ISO settings are designed for shooting in darker situations, which are great for black and white shots, but add grainy noise to your pictures. This grain doesn't look very good in color photos, but in black and white shots it's even worse, coming across like snow falling across your scene. Keep the ISO as low as possible for the best results.
With your lighting and camera settings figured out, the hard work is done. The same rules that apply to color photography will guide you toward great black and white shots, too.
That said, you can optimize for black and white by paying attention to a few specific details in the frame. Here are some of the key things to look for when you're setting up for a black and white photo.
Your artistic creations need to be freed.

I used to work trade shows.. I feel for ya, man!
I used to work trade shows.. I feel for ya, man!
You can sort of tweak the topology by selecting any curve brush and adjusting the topology lines and then switching back to the topo brush and finish up.
Micheal - I do have a question with regards to the draw size when generating mesh with the topology brush. Since there is no negative value for the draw, is there a way to quickly have the mesh extrude inwards instead of outwards? I know we can always extract it but was wondering if there is a quick way of doing this?
Sorry about the late replies guys, hopefully this will clear some stuff up:
In Maya what I would do is break up the duplicated curve parts into their own objects (like that bandolier, for example), UV one of them, then do a transfer attributes (with UVs selected) to transfer the UVs to the other identical objects. Hopefully future iterations of Zbrush will allow you to maintain UVs, but in the meantime you can give that a try (not sure what the equivalent of that process would be in 3DMax or XSI, but I'm sure there's similar functionality). As far as the UV Master, it's been a while but you should be able to flatten then use your move brush to move points around, if that's what you're asking.Maybe you know of a trick that can project the same uv mapping on each of those replicated parts?
If I'm understanding the question correctly, yes! My zombie brush is a IMM brush that all utilize the insert mesh replacement (just make sure there's one and only one hole on your replacement object)Can I use the insert mesh replacement with the IMM brush?
let me go back through my older videos and make sure they have the right encoding, and I'll see if I can get them down to a reasonable size. The topology brush accessories video wasn't on youtube last time I checked either...hmm. Maybe give Pixologic a few days, they've had a busy week at siggraph lol. Hopefully soon though!I wouldn't mind if you could upload them somewhere please. They are just too slow on the zclassroom site for me. I really don't know why.
Also - the topology brush accesories video is not on the youtube yet, hopefully that will go up soon ?
The easiest way I've found (that Paul showed me) is to select your polymesh3D star geometry (in the upper right of the tool menu), select your MMI brush of choice (with the part of the brush you want to extract), then go to Geometry > Modify Topology > Mesh From Brush. This will replace the generic star with the mesh from the brush....I wanted to explore every possible way of converting existing brushes back to subtools? I hope there is some simple way to do it because recombining libraries without original tools files currently looks pretty hefty to me.
I know it's kind of a process to do this for brushes with tons of subtools, so one other method you can try is to make a polymesh plane, choose your MutiMeshInsert brush of choice, go into the picker menu and set your orientation to draw out straight from the camera, then go into the brush menu > Modifiers > MutiM (Multimesh Selector, the small slider) and choose the "1" option. This will cycle through muti meshes in the brush. Draw them out on the plane, then when you're done, delete the plane geo, separate all the muti meshes into their own subtools, then run a deformations > unify on one of them. Then choose the "repeat to other" option at the bottom of the deformations menu, to get them all similar. This should allow you to take lots of the meshes from big insert brushes and make them into subtool libraries, which you can then mix and match and save out.
One way you can do it is to draw out your topology lines using the topology brush, then switch to the CurveEditable brush, turn off Zadd and Rgb, and move the curves around that way (make sure you have bend and snap on). Then switch back into the topology brush. Or like you said, you can get most of the topology done, make that into a mesh, then just load that mesh into your Rigging > Select mesh topology using Zspheres and clean up using that method. Hopefully there will be a simpler approach to moving verts around in later iterations of Zbrush.One question I do have about the new topology tool, is that I don't see any way to tweek / move the points created by the topology brush. For me this, would be a very handy thing. Is it possible? Or can you send the topology created by the new topology brush to a Zsphere Subtool somehow. eg., like the Zsphere - SubTool > Rigging - Select mesh > Topology - Edit topology way, so points can be moved and still be snapped to the surface of the sculpt?.
Oh man good question, can't believe this hasn't come up yet. Hmmm. Shoot, I'm stumped, I'll have to ask the Pixologic guys on this one. Sorry about that!Micheal - I do have a question with regards to the draw size when generating mesh with the topology brush. Since there is no negative value for the draw, is there a way to quickly have the mesh extrude inwards instead of outwards?

Thanks for the reply, Mike!
Unfortunately, my other main tool is lightwave, which is sad when it comes to uv mapping tools.
Looks like I'm stuck for now until zbrush hopefully can add uv mapping options with the curve insert brushes, but ya can't blame a guy for asking!
Thanks for the explanation, I see how to do it now with a Zsphere via >Topology - select Topo, then edit topology.
I will check out the curve editable brush with the settings you have suggested.
Thanks again,
Firstly thank you for your excellent tutorials.
I need to build a decorative bead around a piece of armor. I have made the bead but I would like to keep the string of beads the same size for most of the curves length but would like to taper it toward the end. much like the 'tentacle' in your tutorials but not a constant taper.
is there a way to insert a maker of point on the curve to start the taper other than from the start point?
thank you in advance
Mike, thanks for the reply!
Even though, I had some idea how to deal w multiple insert brushes, I have definitively missed a lot hints from your guide so I ended doing a lot of extra steps. Considering that's now the fastest way to do it that's really a great great help!
I now have another issue with curve settings. I would like to keep them but all the settings get lost in process of converting of subtools to multi insert brush. So each time I have made a new multi brush I have to set the right curve setting for my brushes and then re save it. These settings are important for meshes which are repeating itself like ribbed pipes, hoses etc. It would be just great if you could easily update the multi insert brush (edit, delete or add) without loosing any brush curve settings.
Hi Michael
I don't have any questions, just wanted to swing by and thank you for making these illuminating tutorials.
Cheers man.
For sure, if I'm understanding the question correctly, make your curve like the one in the attached image to have a taper that isn't gradual (and if you want it to taper from the other side, drag the curve points from the bottom to the top and vice versa on the opposite side). Remember you can grab the orange circles around any point and pull them in / widen them out to sharpen / soften the curves. You can also add more points to the curve by clicking on the curve, or delete points from the curve by clicking on the point and dragging it out of the curve window.I need to build a decorative bead around a piece of armor.

Hmmmm...did a little playing around with this. Looks like you can have IMM (insert multi mesh) brushes that have curve modes saved, but it's saved globally for each of the meshes...if you're ok with that global setting, if you want to append another shape (say you've got a library of pipes with all your curve modes correct and you want to add another type), you should be able to have the brush selected, have the object you want to add (make sure it's oriented correctly), hit the "create insert mesh" button, and a dialogue window should pop up asking if you want to append this shape. Say yes, and it'll add that shape and keep your curve settings intact.I would like to keep them but all the settings get lost in process of converting of subtools to multi insert brush.

These settings are important for meshes which are repeating itself like ribbed pipes, hoses etc. It would be just great if you could easily update the multi insert brush (edit, delete or add) without loosing any brush curve settings.
However, like I said the curve settings appear to be global, so you can't mix curve mode brushes with simple insert only brushes. Also, if you want to add bunch of subtool pipes at a time, hitting "create insert multi mesh" won't bring up the dialogue window asking if you want to append, so you'll have to do them manually one at a time if you're appending.
Hope that's ok :-/ Let me know if you find a more elegant solution!
Thanks Man!
I was able to follow this until the very end. At the end however, you attached the zombie arm to the sphere (I assume it was a dynamesh sphere). Then you ctrl-dragged twice on the background and it fused the two together. I know how ctrl-dragging the background remeshes your dynamesh objects, but mine don't look like yours did. Mind didn't add a seperate polygroup loop where the two groups connected (yours added a green loop where the two objects meet). It just looks like when I do it, it doesn't really do anything.
It also seemed to fuse my seperate polygroups into one polygroup. I clicked the "group" button under dynamesh menu, and that keeps the polygroups intact, but it doesn't really look like it merges the two objects the same way it does in your video.
Hope that question makes sense.
Please advise.
*edit - Awesome tutorials btw!!! I'm learning a ton! Thanks!

It wasn't a dynamesh, it was just a polymesh3D sphere; this workflow allows you to add geometry without having to use dynamesh (they both have their strengths and weaknesses); the steps are:
--drag out a polysphere, make it a polymesh3D
--mask off an area, and hit ctl+w (polygroup masked area / clear mask)
--drag an insert brush (make sure you drag it touching the new polygroup you just made, and make sure there's 1 and only 1 hole in your insert mesh, for example the hole in the back of the arm; you can use the hcylinder insert brush for another example)
--position your mesh if you need to
--ctl drag once to clear your mask
--ctl drag one more time to have zbrush interpolate the geometry from the hole in your insert mesh to the polygroup you dragged out on
If you keep watching the videos, I explain in more detail when I start creating my insert mesh creature using my zombie bodyparts (I think it's the next video). Hope that helps, once you get the hang of it, it feels natural!
Thanks!! That seemed to work. Although I swear I was doing that before and it wasn't working.
Here's one last question though. Does the mesh you are inserting have to have a hole in it in order for it to connect to your original mesh in a sensible way? Because when I try to insert a cube or a cylinder it connects it in a pretty weird and unhelpful way. The only thing I could think is that it doesn't know how to connect it logically since there isn't a hole in it it doesn't know where to make the connections.
It just uses the new polygroup you create as its joining location... maybe fiddle with that selection for the best attachement?

Well I've been fiddling but it still doesn't seem to be working the way it was in Michael's video. Here is a picture of what I mean.
Two very simple shapes but it just doesn't seem like it should be inserting the mesh that way. Am I missing something?

Nuremberg – Leoni, the leading provider of cables and cable systems to the automotive sector and other industries, has made a successful start into 2012: the Company increased its consolidated sales by about 6 percent year on year in the first three months, to the new quarterly high of EUR 969.1 million (previous year: EUR 910.7 million). The automotive and capital goods industries as well as, from a regional perspective, the BRIC countries were again key growth drivers. Consolidation for the first time of the South Korean wiring systems manufacturer Daekyeung, taken over in full at the beginning of January 2012, added EUR 27.4 million to the total amount of business. Group-wide, Leoni raised its earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) by nearly 53 percent to EUR 93.7 million (previous year: EUR 61.4 million). This figure includes a non-recurring addition of EUR 29.5 million from the sale of subsidiary Leoni Studer Hard AG. Adjusted for this item, EBIT improved by about 5 percent. Consolidated net income rose from EUR 36.6 million to EUR 64.6 million.
This good performance in the first quarter underpins the forecast for the year as a whole: Leoni still expects to increase its consolidated sales to between EUR 3.8 and 4 billion in 2012 (2011: EUR 3.7 billion) and to generate EBIT of EUR 230 to 280 million (2011: EUR 237.1 million). In addition there is the exceptional factor involving the sale of Leoni Studer Hard AG.
WSD: Sustained heavy demand in the wiring systems business
The strong demand in the Wiring Systems Division (WSD) for its systems continued in the first quarter of 2012. Business with the international carmakers in China and with the commercial vehicle industry performed especially well. The division's external sales increased by nearly 14 percent during the period under report, to a new record figure of EUR 570.0 million (previous year: EUR 500.2 million). Various new and follow-on contracts, especially for facilities in the BRIC countries, will contribute to a high degree of capacity utilisation for the future as well. Leoni also bolstered its position in the future market of electromobility with important new projects for the VW Group. Among other things, these involve the supply of a multi-platform, high-voltage wiring system for various sports car models.
WCS: Sales squeezed by lower copper price
The Wire & Cable Solutions Division (WCS) generated external sales of EUR 399.1 million in the first three months of 2012, about 3 percent less than in the same period of the previous year (Q1/2011: EUR 410.5 million). This decrease was due exclusively to the significantly lower price of copper than in the first quarter of 2011. Adjusted for this effect, external sales were about 1 percent up on the previous year. Demand for wires, cables and cable systems from the automotive, capital goods as well as medical technology industries remained at an unabatedly high level. Business involving cables for photovoltaic plant was weaker, on the other hand, because of the current downtrend in the German market. By contrast, Leoni is expanding its solar business in China.
Investment in the emerging countries increased
Based on the major demand from the BRIC countries and to further internationalise its business, the Leoni Group more than doubled its capital expenditure in the first quarter of 2012 to EUR 55.1 million (previous year: EUR 21.9 million). Acquisitions and investments accounted for EUR 25.3 million (previous year: EUR 2.3 millions), most of which was spent on purchasing the other half of the South Korean joint venture Daekyeung. Spending on property, plant and equipment as well as intangible assets rose by more than 51 percent to EUR 29.7 million (previous year: EUR 19.6 million). Among other projects, the Company set up or expanded wiring systems facilities in Brazil, Russia, Eastern Europe and North Africa. Furthermore, Leoni boosted its capacity for production of automotive cables in China, Mexico and Slovakia as well as for production of infrastructure cables in Mexico.
More than 63,000 employees worldwide
The number of Leoni's employees also increased in the first three months: at the end of March 2012, the Group employed 63,368 people worldwide, which is 2,623 more than at the turn of the year. The growth was due mostly to integration of the former Daekyeung employees. Outside Germany the workforce increased by 2,596 people to 59,324, and in Germany it was up by 27 to 4,044 employees.

John Jones
Marine Staff Sgt.
Hometown: San Antonio, TX
Age: 30
Date of Injury: 1/3/2005
Now, I get up every morning by the Grace of God and get around like I did before the accident. I can do almost everything that I did before but of course at nights I have to use my wheelchair when I don't have my legs on. Showering is usually a challenge if I travel but everything is basic….
As for the future, I hope to always help other military men and women forever in any way that I can. I hope to graduate one day with degree in business that somehow incorporates helping others that need me in some way. I hope to be a positive influence for others and to set an example for those that have given up hope. I hope to always be the father and husband that my family needs and to always show them that I am forever grateful that they love me for who I am.
The Spirit is there, just a matter of technology before a Marine like S/Sgt Jones returns to active duty.
I recall a short Leatherneck article in '62-'63 about Sgt Don Hamblen getting tangled up in a power line at Camp Pendleton. Lost a leg. His retention in the Corps was contingent on a successful Physical Readiness Test (PRT). He made it, did a tour RVN and retired as a 1st Sergeant.
Hospital: National Naval Medical Center, Bethesda, MD
Unit: Part of 1st Battalion/ 7th Marines, Charlie Company
Date deployed to Iraq: Third/fourth week of August 2004
Location of Injury: Al Qaim, Iraq
List of Injuries: Double amputee below the knees, shrapnel in parts of thighs and wrists, some memory and hearing loss, post traumatic stress disorder.
From Executive Producer James Gandolfini

Voter ID law passes by wide margin
CONCORD - The Legislature has passed a law requiring people to present photo identification when voting, while adopting a last-minute amendment meant to ease concerns expressed by voting officials ahead of the November elections.
The Senate voted 18-5 on Wednesday to override the governor's veto of Senate Bill 289, which will require voters this November to show a photo ID or sign an affidavit.
The House passed the bill 231 -112.
Both votes exceeded the two-thirds margin necessary for a veto override.
Earlier in the day, the Senate voted to reintroduce a bill it had tabled earlier in the session, House Bill 1354, and amend it to change all references to a "qualified voter affidavit" to "challenged voter affidavit."
A challenged voter document would be less cumbersome, and the Secretary of State's Office and the town clerks association urged the change, according the bill's chief Senate sponsor, Sen. Russell Prescott, R-Kingston.
"This amendment is needed to correct an oversight on my part," Prescott said on the floor of the Senate.
Under SB 289, more stringent identification requirements would be imposed after the 2012 elections.
Both the Senate and House passed HB 1354, and then voted to override the governor's veto of SB 289.
Use of the qualified voter affidavit was one problem cited by Lynch in his veto. Of greater concern, he said, was the limited range of IDs that would be acceptable after 2012; primarily state-issued driver's licenses.�
The governor has five days to sign, veto or let HB 1354 become law without his signature.
A spokesman for Lynch said he will be reviewing the bill.
The votes were largely along party lines, with Democrats saying the bill would disenfranchise elderly, poor and minority voters, as well as students, and Republicans arguing that the bill is necessary to ensure that integrity of the voting process and prevent fraud.

- With non-critical federal services shutting down and no budget deal in sight, whom do you blame for the impasse?

YO! So initially when I signed up for "the guild" it was about 4-5 a.m. and I did not have the patience to properly introduce myself.
I signed back on yesterday to look at my original attempt (lol) and saw some good tips from some guys that replied to the introduction. I'll attempt to put them into force.
- My name is Tony, i'm 19 and i'm a full-time student, Pre-Law with a focus in Political Science.
- I'm an Aries if you guys care. Yay, fire signs..
- New people are great so become friends with me because I'll love you!
- I picked up the interest in rpgs back in about 9-10th grade when I began drawing my own mangas and so forth.
- I'm an absolute fan of rpgs that are based on original animes. (especially Naruto)
- I like to lead rpgs just as much as I like to provide support to someone else's.
- I'm open to all genres. Sci-Fi rpgs lose me sometime though. I guess I'm not a big science fiction buff..
I can't really think of anything else as for now. Drop a "what's up" or a "yo" and pitch some rpgs at me. I may take..

Nutro Pet Meals Review
Information to Frequent Pet Vaccines
There are some pet dogs that have hypoallergenic reactions to different types of meat which includes poultry. You should never, ever go away young ones alone with a pet. But you have to prepare it right so that you get the possibility to really take pleasure in it without having to be concerned. House,training may be challenging for some puppies, but by doing a little analysis, there are many helpful suggestions available for how to practice your pet. http://portabledogkennel.weebly.com/small-dog-shock-collars.html
Things To Keep In Mind
- Feed your canine food items with probiotics
- If your puppy loves plush type toys, you know what I'm describing
- Don't allow your visitors to feed your puppy or give him anything to consume
- Our pets depend on us for their suitable diet plan, necessary education, path, basic safety and affection
Be a Canine Coach Today!
Chained canines are usually malnourished, acquire no veterinary care, are infested with fleas, ticks, heartworms, mange and other parasites, filthy and dehydrated. Dogs get very stressed with regimen changes like this, so ease them into it with short working day trips, replicating eventualities that you might find camping.
So we came to the conclusion - you shouldn't feed your canine with processed foodstuff.Think about it - canines never eaten any canned or processed foodstuff till thirties, and they were domesticated almost for a hundred and fifty generations already. If your canine is in shape and healthful they are likely to dwell longer which is obviously what everybody wants. Dry pet food just may have more benefits that you may think.
Xmas Presents for Pets
Is it Time to Put My Canine to Snooze?
Selenium for example, a generally known component in pet nutritional supplements, is typically used to prevent most cancers. The converse is equally true and your partnership will go downhill just as rapid if you ignore or just expect the pet to comprehend you.
If you make investments in a new, premium, all pure canine meals, you will be shocked what you will get back from your puppy.have totally no nutritional value whatsoever, and are only used to maintain the dry pet food nuggets together or just to make your dog truly feel full. We know for a fact that domesticated carnivorous mammals or canines are cuddly, clever and entertaining. An operator can use the "treat" method, which concentrates on the puppy modeling the conduct and obtaining a deal with.
Why Your Canine is Urinating Uncontrollably
Canine Labor Signs
A expanding number of pet dogs suffer from food intolerance or foods allergy, which prohibits cereals
The puppy may have intolerance to gluten (corn, amaranth and quinoa) and in this case you can feed it gluten-free potatoes, sesame and soy. While they probably don't mean to, the toy gets moist, picks up grime and at some point falls apart. Remember rescuing or getting a canine is just the first action in a long connection.portabledogkennel.weebly.com/small-dog-shock-collars.html Click For Info

Our first time to a rodeo, It was great, just what we hoped for and we got to talk to the performers.
Our first time to a rodeo, It was great, just what we hoped for and we got to talk to the performers.
My wife & I went to the West Yellowstone rodeo after we enjoyed a horse ride at the Diamond P Ranch earlier that morning. Since there are not a lot of rodeo's going on in Central New York we decided to experience our 1st here in West Yellowstone. The atmosphere & crowd were great as was the rodeo itself. The... More
Very interesting to see the different activities that make up a rodeo. I found it very exciting to watch the cowboys work together to lasso the calfs in a short amount of time. I wasn't a big fan of the younger children riding the bulls. I think it is too dangerous sport for children.
Ok it's not a professional rodeo but its good fun and done very well....lots of variety and involvement of the crowd. I would definitely recommend.
You will get what you want out of this place. If you are expecting a Professional rodeo you will be greatly disappointed. If you want to see a small local rodeo then this place is for you. We did the pre rodeo trail ride. The guides (who also performed in the rodeo) did an excellent job of helping my 6... More
I would avoid this place. Spend your time and money at some place other than this dive. Much better rodeos in the area, including Cody. Unfortunately we didn't have the time to drive to one of those and thought "how bad can this be?" Ohh, it can be bad! Negative reviewers have it right.
Read all the reviews - either good or bad - they are all true... ...the experience is what you wish to make of it. If you are expecting a professional rodeo - pass. But if you want to get the general feel of a small-time backyard rodeo...you can have some fun. Nobody won anything the night we went except the... More
We really enjoyed our time here - so much so that we went twice and also went back to do some horse riding. It was great fun watching all the different rodeo experiences and we got a feel of the real cowboy lifestyle. It's a cheap and fun night out! The hot dogs are pretty good too!
Tiny mud pit. Abrasive staff refused to give a refund despite a full blown thunderstorm that started 10 minutes before the show. Dirt parking lot was a pool of water and mud. No cover anywhere. Ripoff
When in the area I would recommend staying in the National Park for a couple of additional hours and pass on this venue. When was the last time you attended a rodeo where no calves were roped and taken down, ALL eight attempts at bull riding stayed on the bull for less than three or four seconds, most of the... More

Ok guys I've got Rock Band and Rock Band 2. I've not finished the original but want to play all the songs in the second. I know there is an unlock key to download the songs from 1 to the HDD to use for 2 BUT.....
... will this do all the songs or just the ones I've unlocked by playing the original game?
Hope that makes sense!
Do I have to play RB1 to unlock all songs or can I just buy the key and play them from the start in RB2?
Thanks in advance.
on 20-02-2010 05:50 PM
You get all the RB1 songs to use right away in RB2, as if they were DLC tracks so they're available for Random Setlists and Make A Setlist challenges from the off. And no, you don't need to have played RB1, I basically just picked it up as a DLC disc.

you can rent both titles, though with lego you would need to hope that the export key in the box hasn't been used - it's a one time only deal.
Though you could buy from gamestation then take back withing 10 days and get money back as you are not satisfied with that particular game

The ductus arteriosus is a passage between two major blood vessels, the artery that carries oxygen-poor blood from your heart to your lungs (pulmonary artery) and the artery that carries oxygen-rich blood from your heart to your body (aorta). The ductus arteriosus is present in everyone during fetal development before birth. The ductus arteriosus usually closes one or two days after birth, but sometimes it remains open (patent) after birth. If the ductus arteriosus remains open, it's called a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA).
If the ductus arteriosus is patent, blood flows from the aorta into the pulmonary artery and goes to the lungs. A small PDA may cause no harm, but if there is a large enough connection between the aorta and the pulmonary artery, the pressure in the pulmonary artery may increase and the heart may dilate and work harder.

The state said Herkimer County needs a new jail or improvements to its current one. The former P&C site in Herkimer has been picked as the possible location of the new facility, but some county and village leaders are reluctant to let construction go forward. Our Sarah Blazonis was there as one county legislator outlined financial benefits that could be offered to the village in order to move forward and tells us why some people say the plan is no deal for village residents.
HERKIMER, N.Y. -- With the cost of the Herkimer County jail project going up an estimated $300,000 to $400,000 every year it's delayed, Legislature Chairman Vincent Bono said now is the time to build.
"Labor rates are down, interest rates are down, material rates are down, insurance rates are down, so all that coupled together makes for a perfect storm, for lack of a better term, to build it," said Bono.
Right now the old P&C site in Herkimer is covered in weeds and brush, but legislators said construction could begin here on the new prison in just a few short months if road blocks from the village are removed.
Those road blocks include village rezoning of the site that would prohibit a prison from being built there. Bono says he's proposed three options to village officials to clear the way for construction to move forward. All include help with engineering for flooding in the College Hill area, something other legislators and village trustees say the county already promised.
"It's something that needs to be taken care of and it has nothing to do with the jail, nothing to do with the jail," said Herkimer Village Trustee Katherine Nichols.
Legislators who serve the village also said the sewer hook-up fee promised in two options would be required of the county anyway. County officials say the savings that could be seen from building a new jail that would eliminate boarding out of prisoners would benefit the county as a whole.
"We'll be able to save $600,000 to $700,000 a year for the property taxpayer, and part of Mr. Bono's discussion was now can we share that back with the village," said County Administrator Jim Wallace.
Bono says he meant the options to be figured in with the village's budget discussions. So far, he says he's gotten no response.
The options outlined by Bono include:
Option 1: $155,000 sewer hook-up fee to be paid by county.$133,000 Quackenbush Lawsuit to be dismissed by CountyWater and sewer rates to be paid for the jail will be similar to the Lowes Project. Two and a half times the residential water rate and sewer to be paid at 1 3/4 times the residential sewer rate (approx. $60,000 annually).Reinstatement of Herkimer's share of $300,000 of the sales tax distribution (approx $20,000 annually).Help with engineering for College Hill flooding.
Option 2: Flat $1,000,000 to be paid to village throughout the build out of the jail (details to be worked out).$155,000 sewer hook-up fee to be paid by county$133,000 Quackenbush Lawsuit dismissalHelp with engineering for College Hill flooding

Hospice services provide care and support to both patient and family when palliative care and comfort, rather than cure, is the focus in a terminal illness. The goal of this physician-ordered care is to identify and control symptoms of physical, emotional and spiritual pain. When the patient is physically comfortable, all involved are more able to deal with emotional and spiritual issues, and live as fully as possible.
Our team of highly trained professionals provides care at home or at identified long-term care facilities during the end stage of life. Regularly scheduled visits to the home or the long-term care facility are made by the hospice nurse. As directed by the patient's physician and coordinated by hospice team members, visits are scheduled for:
Bereavement support is offered to family members for thirteen months after the patient's death. Bereavement care includes:
Most third-party payers provide hospice benefits to cover all or part of the cost of care related to terminal illness. St.Vincent Anderson Regional Hospital's Hospice program is a certified Medicare and Medicaid provider. We are licensed by the Indiana State Department of Health and accredited by The Joint Commission.
