Veterans like myself who serve in Iraq and Afghanistan include their stories and the veterans history project it adds richness to the collection.
Because you're able to compare our experiences to those -- served in World War I world war two and Vietnam.
The -- military healing initiative working with The Library of Congress has created a program that allows soldiers to not only document their experiences at war but also gives veterans a way to cope.
Turning traumatic experiences into arts joining us now founder of the veteran artist program be arm MacDonald and -- -- from the opposite the undersecretary for history art and culture at the Smithsonian paid to both for coming in today thank you for having our right now -- tell us about these workshops that you have coming up and how people can get involved with -- -- of their family members yet.
They can sign up online at WW arts and military -- work.
One is at the -- it's a weeklong workshop what's called.
Making you know -- taking uniforms and making and pumping into Paper and creative writing so -- it's an opportunity to actually deal with something war in while you were in Afghanistan and Iraq.
And actually create an express those experiences through -- powerful part.
Another is that GM you called peace Paper and combat Paper again people are literally taking -- uniforms carrying them up into ranks creating Paper and recording this experience.
It's bringing professional artists together.
And art therapist together with military families and patterns.
-- -- what a unique powerful thing to do and -- -- -- without art over the wall in a place for veterans and.
Healing and telling their stories and in sharing something that may department purple eyes -- I think what's happening right now America's there's increasing gap between those -- have served in the military since 9/11.
And those that are trying to understand what it's like.
And the arts especially in the mainstream creative arts community.
Is where that needs to happen.
Because you have an audience and the consumers really looking in -- wanting to understand it and a veteran he's talk about it.
I'm in the combat experience is so varied.
You also have artists who are veterans who are trying to get back into -- crew in the arts who may have just missed the timing when to use the networking.
That's necessary to make that step so.
But -- a veteran who's trying to talk about their experience through art or you're an artist who happened to be a veteran this is a great opportunity.
To connect and think some of the -- -- actually be on display for others experience that attracts a lot of their works that's going on we also have an a Republican and so Thursday night at the court in college -- gallery of art.
The -- display the company Paper exhibition these are works of art which which veterans from all branches of the services have created on Paper made from their uniforms so there.
Prince there's stories there's poems and there's a one time display of outpatient work from the Walter Reed national medical military hospital called what we want to -- to you.
Film screening and on Friday at The Library of Congress he's on there's the -- history project.
There actually to perform pieces that are constructive from interviews that were done by Jonathan way in the telling project last week so -- be -- very moving performance all of this is free policy open the public.
And it is wanna say it's about a two way street it's not just that the veterans are being held -- -- nation needs healing.
I think we need to understand the power that our house in our lives here and now.
And here what do you say to folks who say act I'm not an artist I don't I don't know about creating more of doing -- special things but I do have something to say and I think this might be -- -- Well I encourage all veterans and especially those that have any sort of artistic inclination to step out there and and be bold about expressing themselves.
Especially if you have an experience that you want people to know about it's tough it's challenging it's risky.
And it can be scary but there's organizations out there.
Arts military veteran artist program and many others that offer the services and whether it's mentoring networking collaborations and even productions.
Like we're doing and it's so important.
Not only for the veteran community to come together but.
Folks like Jane and their national arts community to support and provide them -- that's that's essential and developed development and reintegration veterans.
Going -- a lot of people involved in pulling something like this together so we thank you.
-- for representing all of them for the project that you're doing and how they're getting dissenting to that's and to the rest of us to understand their experiences -- -- -- just -- just scratching the surface right now -- it's it's amazing to be an amazing to see what comes after this event but we hope many people come out sign up for those workshops and come -- for the public events he'll be a different person for time think about payments from the human.

For guests of the Gulf Breeze Zoo, a star was born on Jan. 23.
Kigali, a four-month-old Western Lowland Gorilla, has been in the care of zookeepers since his birth by cesarean section.
Now a healthy 12 pounds, Kigali is ahead on all of his developmental milestones and is raising a ruckus at the nursery, said Zoo Director Kayte Wanko.
"We have developmental goals for him every 30 days," said Wanko. Kigali is progressing well, and he and his mother Rwanda are slowly being introduced to each other, a process that Wanko feels will be complete by mid-summer.

RPV vs. ETF Alternatives
RPV Description
The S&P 500/Citigroup Pure Value Index is narrow in focus and consists of those S&P 500 companies that exhibit only strong value characteristics. It contains approximately one-third of the equities of the S&P 500® Index.
Rydex S&P Pure Style exchange traded funds (ETFs) are benchmarked to the S&P/Citigroup Pure Style indices. Unlike traditional style indices, these pure style indices seek to remove overlap between growth and value. Each index is weighted by style scores, as opposed to market cap. Only pure growth and pure value stocks are included and the stocks with similar growth and value characteristics are eliminated. Therefore, these products deliver pure style based only on stocks with the strongest style attributes.

Monday, Dec 211:31 AMMorgan's Parker unveils S&P 500 target of 2014 in 2014
- Morgan Stanley's Adam Parker completes his turn from one of the Street's most bearish to its most bullish investment strategist with his S&P 500 2014 in 2014 target - an 11.5% advance from here. "The only thing people are worried about is that no one is worried about anything," he says ... "That isn't a real worry."
- He's not discounting the chance of a "Pavlovian" sell-off amid taper banter, but says any spring dip as the taper commences will be a buying opportunity "unless our outlook for corporate earnings markedly deteriorates."
- "It isn't preposterous to say that we could be in an environment of synchronous global economic expansion in 2014, and tapering or not, that isn't fully in today's prices."

Wednesday, Oct 233:25 PMPzena likes market given current level of rates
- 'Skepticism about equity markets remains high," says deep-value investing giant Richard Pzena. Given the level of interest rates, the S&P 500 would have to rise by about 15% just to restore the historical equity risk premium. Put another way, the 10-year Treasury yield would have to rise to 3.8% vs. 2.5% today for the current level of the S&P to make sense.
- Think the market should go down? By Pzena's calculation, the 10-year Treasury yield would have to jump to 5% to justify a S&P 500 10% lower than it is now.
- What about value? Even five years since the end of the financial crisis, value stocks still have double-digit expected returns going forward if value spreads return to their norms, he says.

Monday, Oct 213:23 PMPricey market can get pricier
- The S&P 500's 22% YTD return has been driven almost entirely by multiple expansion rather than higher earnings, says Goldman's David Kostin. That and the fact that the Cyclically Adjusted PE (CAPE) Ratio made famous by now-Nobel-laureate Robert Shiller suggests the index is about 30% overvalued isn't enough to have Kostin forecasting a bear market.
- Instead, the music's playing so we dance - he sees a flat S&P through year-end, but has a target of 1,900, or 9% above today's level in 2014.
- Kostin's excellent charts: Markets and money flow, Mutual fund flows, Market performance YTD.

Tuesday, Oct 18:28 AMPast shutdowns offer little in way of predictable market direction
- We didn't start the fire. Today's government shutdown is the 17th in the last 100 years, with 16 of those occurring since 1976.
- Compiling the returns of the S&P 500 (SPY) during those other episodes, Raymond James' Jeff Saut finds little to base a market call on - the median return is negative 0.1% and returns are positive 47% of the time.

Sunday, Sep 299:13 PMFocusing on value beats worrying about macro
- Particularly apt reading tonight as stocks head south on worry about a partial U.S. government shutdown, The Brooklyn Investor makes the case for trying to ignore whatever the latest macro-boogeyman happens to be, and instead focus on buying and holding reasonably valued stocks. Paraphrasing Seth Klarman: "You just have to figure out what a business can earn in five or ten years on a normalized basis and see what it's worth; if you can buy it for lower than that, then it doesn't matter what the headlines say."
- The Shiller cyclically adjusted P/E ratio does raise TBI's eyebrow as it shows the market to be 47% overvalued, but it was similarly so in 1966. While the averages did nothing over the next 16 years, the "Superinvestors of Graham and Doddsville" (Walter Schloss, Tweedy Brown, Sequoia Fund) racked up ridiculous returns (this, of course, may be of little comfort to index investors).
- Buffett's classic "Superinvestors" article from 1984.
- Can the market go down? A lot? No doubt, says TBI, but the odds against being able to exploit a bear market are far too long - better to spend time looking for stocks trading at 1.1x book that should be selling for 1.5x book.

Wednesday, Sep 49:49 AMPresident's trouble spells stock market trouble
- "When the President is in trouble, the stock market is in trouble," said Eliot Janeway years ago. "Clearly the President is in trouble," says Raymond James' normally bullish, but recently cautious Jeff Saut.
- Yesterday's opening spike was seemingly the result of short-covering from those who sold Friday expecting missiles to fly over the weekend, says Saut. Once sated, markets drifted downward, barely eking out a gain by day's end. "Up mornings and down afternoons is not particularly good stock market action."
- This correction likely won't be complete until the S&P 500 moves south of 1,600 (1,640 at the moment), says Saut, but he expects the index to remain above 1,500.
- Notable is the level of investor complacency as shown by this chart from Jason Goepfert: The ratio of mutual fund and ETF assets to money market fund assets is at an all-time high of 3.49 - surpassing the levels seen at the peaks in 2000 and 2007.

Monday, Sep 26:29 PMValue investing gold: Burry's 2000/2001 journal
- What George Soros' The Alchemy of Finance was to global macro investors, Michael Burry's journal of trades in 2000/2001 may be to value fans. "My strategy isn't very complex. I try to buy shares of unpopular companies when they look like road kill, and sell them when they've been polished up a bit ... I care little about the level of the general market and put few restrictions on potential investments."
- Plucked out of message-board obscurity and staked by Joel Greenblatt, Burry posted returns at his Scion Capital hedge fund of 8.2% in 2000 (partial year), 44.7% in 2001, and 13.1% in 2002, as the S&P lost 7.5%, 11.9%, and 22.1% during the same periods. When the S&P bounced 28.7% in 2003, Scion gained 50.7%.
- This journal shows Burry willing to venture into just about any industry or situation as long as he sees value there. One place he definitely didn't spot value was in the previously-favored big cap tech names as their stock prices imploded. "Now that the bubble is pricked, tech stocks will face scrutiny they never faced before. It is a good time to start picking prices based on a solid understanding of the fundamentals ... greater bargains are sure to come."
- Burry went on make an even bigger fortune for himself and his investors by shorting MBS from 2005 on (though his investors, including Greenblatt, never forgave him for straying from stockpicking).

Wednesday, Jul 2412:51 PMThree signs we're close to a market top, according to Mark Hulbert: 1) A bull market's best returns typically come right before it dies, with the average bull gaining 21% in the year before topping. The SPY is currently up 23% Y/Y. 2) Riskiest stocks do best ahead of tops, and growth stocks have trumped value stocks by triple the historical norm in the last year. 3) Contrary to expectations, a nosebleed level of a P/E ratio is not a necessary condition for a market top. |Wednesday, Jul 2412:51 PM| 5 Comments

Conscious Gifting
Black Friday has come and gone, but the Pacific Beach Tuesday Farmers' Market happens all year round and supports local artists and farmers. If you missed the initial holiday madness, you can still find dozens of gifts at the market for everyone on your list.
Think outside of electronics and flashy dashy gifts from the mall and shop for something more personal- you can find sustainable and hand crafted goods from many of our vendors. Remind the ones you love how sweet they are with miniature honey bears or beeswax candles from Mikolich Honey. Have a wine lover in the family? Give them a colorful, hand crafted bottle stopper or wine cradle from Conte Bella Vino Gifts.
With family in and out of town and all the end of year busyness, there is potential for high stress. So offer yourself and your friends healing lotions and bath salts from Botanicology or soothing massage oils from Keys Creek Lavender Farm.
You can share the gift of locally made, fair trade goods at your next neighborhood holiday party by bringing a gift package of olive oils and aged vinegars from California Olive Oil or perhaps offering your favorite blend of loose leaf teas or coffee from Agora Bean & Leaf.
Enjoy shopping at the market with the lights twinkling down the streets and the spirit of giving before you.
SD Weekly Markets brings farmers' markets to the city in San Diego, and people to the table. Each of our San Diego farmers' markets is geared to the needs and interests of the communities it serves, and each is managed professionally to provide the highest quality farm-fresh produce, meats, fish, eggs, and artisan foods to San Diego farmers' market shoppers.

- They research markets in the different eu countries to find the best 60GB/20GB ratio. GB will have the biggest proportion of 60GBs, then France and Germany with a slightly bigger amount of 60GBs. Southern countries like Italy, Spain and Greece will have more 20GB versions.
- Only 60Gb at launch (in germany at least). 20GB might be not available from day one, but it'll come out till Christmas for sure.
- The installed HDD is made by Seagate (he's not sure though). You'll be able to upgrade it with a standard HDD. Sony will not release its own HDDs.
- The motion sensing sw tools have been added to the devkit sw package about 2-3 weeks ago.
- The production hasn't started yet, but they have all the components necessary so they just wait for a go (in south of China and near Tokyo).
- Different colors (they ask about silver explicitly) will be launched later, supposedly Q1 07.
- Confronted with: "ps3 looks like cheap plastic". The ps3 will have a polyester coating. A special polishing liquid will be available to prevent scratches
- Confronted with: "but it's black so what about the problem with fingerprints -> psp".
"I haven't touched it yet. We use gloves. We are said to use gloves."
PR-Chef Nick Staples jumps in: the ps3 will not be caried around and overly touched normaly. They used gloves to show it around, hence no fingerprints, but therefore white fluff (from the glove).
- The ps3 will boost hdtv market penetration. All devisions of sony promote the ps3: Sony Pictures (Bluray), Sony Electronics (HDTVs) and we [SCE] make sure it all works out. There will be 'PlayStation Places' in capital cities all over the world where you can experience those 3 devision coming together (PS3, HD and Bluray).
- No plans for a HD-DVD drive addon (orly?!) ( )
- Confronted with the weekly sales numbers of 360 (18.000) vs ps2 (100.000) in the eu and asked about how the ps2 will be positioned during the ps3 launch; "Supposedly the ps3 will appeal to the hardcore gamer and only later broaden its demographic?"
-> "Yes. The ppl who who will buy the ps3 have a ps2 or maybe even a 360, but in the course of 1-2 years the ps2 and ps3 markets will stay separated."
- 45% of their business is now outside the eu (e.g. russia, middle east).
- There is way more preorders compared to ps2. They take preorders in Fr, Ger and UK.
altavista translation from the last part of the intervieuw
In the process of the Games Convention Golem.de also still spoke with Guido alto, the press speaker of Sony computer Entertainment Germany. In the discussion it concerned also the Xbox-360-Verkaufszahlen desired specified by Microsoft again: 6 million pieces are to have been already sold, to 10 million are it to end of 2006 to become. Doubted on the part of Sony computer Entertainment that Microsoft will reach this number really still in this year, one price reduction which can be expected and the exclusive title "Gears OF was taken into consideration".
At Microsoft one sees that differently; new purchase arguments were not stated however during the Games Convention 2006. Sony computer Entertainment wants to deliver world-wide approximately 4 million PlayStation 3 between 17 November and 31 December 2006, by March 2007 is the number on 8 million to grow. Briefly on it then the Xbox 360 is to be overhauled. However also Sony must still convince its customers, because on the Games Convention 2006 further only few really impressing and already playable PS3-Titel were to be seen behind the window blinds.
In Tokyo that could change, over 20 plays is then shown and by the public to be tried out to be able. Also Microsoft seems to wait with large announcements and presentations for the Tokyo Game show, which takes place in September 2006.
- He doubts that MS has sold 6 million 360s already and also doubts that they'll sell 10 Million before 2007, even with a price drop and Gears of War coming.
They have added some seemingly official charts (relevant for Ger):
installed base development in Germany
sales development in relation to price
sales development in relation to price + prediction for the rest of 06 at 129 (?)
household penetration

Yeah, they promised that earlier. Just show their new open technology filosophy. That's just great news.- The installed HDD is made by Seagate (he's not sure though). You'll be able to upgrade it with a standard HDD. Sony will not release its own HDDs.
And here's the answer why we haven't seen much tilt functionality in the previews but only heard some of the ideas from the developers. I'm really looking forward to a new kind of gaming experience.- The motion sensing sw tools have been added to the devkit sw package about 2-3 weeks ago.
Oh dear, we are really going to see a massive consumer campaign.- The ps3 will boost hdtv market penetration. All devisions of sony promote the ps3: Sony Pictures (Bluray), Sony Electronics (HDTVs) and we [SCE] make sure it all works out. There will be 'PlayStation Places' in capital cities all over the world where you can experience those 3 devision coming together (PS3, HD and Bluray).
Some of the questions were weak... about the shiny black exterior of the PS3 & fingerprints, it's not a handheld device...
A breath of fresh air. Rep4j00!
It's a no brainer to push the 60GB version to the "early adopter" bunch, hopefully they will start their pre-orderings here (Fin) soon...
So many games so little time..
Are they interviewing Reeves? That man is an absolute PR disaster.
Agreed. I can't help thinking he's always the last one to find out about PS3's status quo, or the one who fails the most when conveying what PS3 is about.Originally Posted by EvilTaru

That's why I think they need much tighter PR, everything they (including Harrison, Reeves, Ken and Kaz) say needs to be scripted and pre-screened by good PR people but right now I don't know what's going on with their PR.Originally Posted by VG Aficionado

^Yup, I think I know who you're talking about. It happened not long after E3'06, right? I think she was forced to leave coz it baffles the mind thinking the same woman was responsible for the amazing PR since PS1 days until E3'06 but there are many theories out there and I'm just iterating one of them.
i ll wait for the time it ships for allocation stuff etc...i think u ll find more 60gb than 20 gb versions...in the southern countries as well..i just think theyr refering to the proportion.....the 20 gb being more reperible there, compared to to germany and france...still ...inferior to the amount of 60gb..imo...
Fyi only 60GIG according *all* retailers in Scandinavium, Finland and Island i pressume is the same.
Hmm i didnt know Germany was such a PS friendly country from those charts. Oh well thats only good.

I purchased these pants in a size Medium, I am 5'3" 130lb and they fit perfectly. They are soft, comfortable and wash very nicely. Wish they had them in black as I would order another pair!
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever, Performance, Ease of use, Great valueDid you recently buy the Moving Comfort Flow Capri? Write a review.
February 19, 2012
These capris are quite comfortable. I've used them for working out at the gym but will be taking them outside when it gets a bit warmer. They feel like they are supportive without being binding. They fit in the leg and are not baggy in the thighs which I sometimes have trouble with. I'm 5'6 and weigh about 155 lbs. I usually wear a large or a 12 pant. The only complaint is that the seams began to unravel after the first use. I noticed it in the bottom seam in the waistband in a couple of places. Since wearing them and washing them a few times, there are a couple more spots where the stitching is loose but nothing's come fully unraveled so far. It might just be this pair and not indicative of overall quality.

Sportiness without the 'ifs' and 'buts'. Even the wheels abide by this ideology. The Boxster Spyder is equipped as standard with specially developed 19-inch wheels. To be more precise, wheels that are the lightest available from Porsche in this size, and ensure that the principle of lightweight construction is carried through from head to toe.
The consequences are a reduction in unsprung masses, excellent responsiveness and increased agility.

And the mirrorless market grows and grows (new market share increase in Japan…now 32.5% in June).
The mirrorless camera segment is still growing in Japan and in June only 32.5% of all sold system cameras were mirrorless!
UPDATE: We also post the list of the most sold 20 system camera in Japan between January and June 2010. We have 7 mirrorless cameras that made it into the top 20. The source is BCNranking (click here)
Position | Camera (click on camera name to check price and availability on amazon) |
Market Share(%) |
1 | Nikon D90 | 13.0 |
2 | Canon T2i | 11.5 |
3 | Nikon D5000 | 10.6 |
4 | Nikon D90 | 9.7 |
5 | Nikon D3000 | 7.9 |
6 | Pentax K-x | 6.3 |
7 | Panasonic GF1 | 6.1 |
8 | Olympus E-PL1 | 4.6 |
9 | Canon 7D | 3.5 |
10 | Canon XSi | 3.1 |
11 | Panasonic G1 | 2.7 |
12 | Sony NEX-5 | 2.0 |
13 | Canon 5D MarkII | 1.8 |
14 | Canon 50D | 1.7 |
15 | Sony A550 | 1.5 |
16 | Sony A330 | 1.4 |
17 | Olympus E-P2 | 1.3 |
18 | Panasonic G2 | 1.3 |
19 | Nikon D300s | 1.3 |
20 | Olympus E-P1 | 1.1 |
And in 2010 Olympus and Panasonic manage it to gain market share (and notice the huge drop of Canon!):
As they become smaller people want point and shoot cameras with big sensors, mft is perfect for this…
Must be really scary if you are the head of Sony cameras!
Pete – I wouldn't be too worryied about Sony with their NEXs and many more exciting models on the way. The NEXs were only available the last weeks of June and weekly sales rankings in Japan for July has indicated the NEXs have jumped into the top 10 positions so now the most popular of ILS. On the other hand if I were Nikon or Canon I should be more concerned about their lack of competitive models in this rapidly growing segment of the market. With the much smaller camera size advantage ,all this segment has to do is come up with some very compact good and fast primes and small zoom lenses to challenge the shrinking market for DSLRs by providing a viable alternative for most occasions other than for action shots and long larger lenses.
Nikon's President Makoto Kimura announced today they will ship their own mirrorless camera "as early as this fiscal year" (i.e. before March 31st, 2011).
is this for real? do we just add up the percentage to get the market share?
if it is, then the top 20 only gets 19.1% and how much mirror-less cameras remain below top 20… are they enough to make up the last 13.4%
oomomo, are you kidding? The top 3 alone gets 13 + 11.5 + 10.6 = 35.1% !!!
well Don all that money on the alpha range…. and they are 6th out of 6!
If I was Nikon or Canon I'd stick a 12MP d5000 or a 500d sensor in a G11 / P 6000 body.
I'm not convinced by nex, those after a better point and shoot don't want a 16mm or a big lens. those wanting a 16mm want a more user friendly body not lots of menus I may of course be wrong.
as a Nikon user I find the GF1 compliments a dSLR rather nicely. But panasonic can I have 12mm f2.8 and a 50 f1.8 thank you. if Nikon can do a 50f1.8 for £100 and a 35 f1.8 for £169 you can do one for under £250 can't you!?
Oddly enough I think Nikon introducing a mirrorless camera will help boost sales of Panasonic (mainly) and Olympus (secondary) in the short term simply because a Nikon product of that class would lend credibility to the potential of such cameras. With Panasonic by then looking at their 3rd generation of mirrorless cameras to Nikon's brand new 'prototype', a lot of them will go for the Panasonic. Where Nikon will win is in retail distribution because they have the penetration and the channels.
The problem with the figures quoted in the above 43rumors newsbit is they are for the entire 6 month period from January thru June so some models like the NEX are for only 1-2 months old so more like a 17% market share at latest June month for the NEX while m4/3 sales from Panasonic and Olmpus combined have fallen some from a high of 20% to present 15% market share. Look at the DPR Alpha Sony forum for the link to the graph showing the month to month sales. Because of the recent addition of new models recently best to look only at the last month to better reflect the current and near future situation. From the chart DSLR sales of interchangeable cameras peaked at about 70% in early spring and now headed southward to 57% with the ILS gaining ground very rapidly from 18-20% as noted up to 32% of the market in Japan. While sales of ILS have not been as high elsewhere in the world part of that is because perhaps Japanese value small size and other features higher than elsewhere but much has to do with availability as Japanee market gets the first productions while supply lags elsewhere in the world due to market practices.
Yes Sony has in the past had way to many Alpha DSLRs with little to differentiate but now they are adding the new excellent high ISO sensor along with at least two or three more mirrorless models some have both contrast and faster conventional DSLR phase detection AF options with a moveable pellix mirror.
Pany hopes to get a similar boost from their new small fix lens 4/3 sensor camera as NEX did with its rumored small LX3 size camera with 4/3 senor and very fast and small fixed zoom lens retracting back into the body to boost 4/3 sensor use. As m4/3 camera prices have been going down making them more affordable this is increasing volume back up towards where they wereearlier.
For the link to the sales graph just do to DPR Alpha Sony Forum and look for thread entitles DSLR sales in Japan for the first six months of year.
admin, you got the #1 camera wrong, it should be Nikon D90:

If I was Canon, I'd be very concerned. But then, who knows what they may have up their sleeve.
[...] The mirrorless market grows and grows (new market share increase in Japan…now 32.5% in June). [...]
"is this for real? do we just add up the percentage to get the market share?"
Market share of mirrorless for the month of June: 32.5%.
Market share of mirrorless for H1 (past 6 months): ~20%.In either case, mirrorless market share has grown (largely due to NEX, see Sony's sales jump to 20% in July). But in both cases, the overall market share (total number of units sold by anyone) is still dominated by Canikon (34%+31%=65%).

The men's autumn/winter '13 Barbour collection is comprised of medium weight waxed jackets, quilted linings and a contemporary take on classic knitwear. Featuring Barbour's staple quilted jackets and on trend checked shirts, the brand's country look is complemented by the variety of functional yet timeless bags and accessories.
A renowned British brand with local heritage, the Barbour story originates in 1894 in South Shields when John Barbour started out as a travelling draper supplying oilskins for seafarers and outdoor workmen. Over time, Barbour has grown to be a household name for wax cotton jackets and in turn, their style has evolved to become legendary for functional and timeless fashion.
While Barbour continues to be renowned for jackets and overcoats, they have now developed as a standalone lifestyle brand. No longer appealing solely to country sports fans, they encompass menswear, womenswear, childrenswear, accessories, footwear and more. Always keeping styles current, the brand often include designer collaborations and iconic influences with a modern edge.
Barbour recently joined forces with print makers Liberty to create some beautiful linings for their women's jackets. The current womenswear Gold Label collaboration with British designer Alice Temperley mixes durability with luxury to create feminine glamour.
The most prestigious of their collections is the Barbour Steve McQueen range influenced by the King of Cools style and how he pioneered the International jacket during motorcycle races including the 1964 International Six Day Trials when Steve McQueen raced for the US team.
Barbour, now over a century old, has never compromised their close family values and remains a core British brand. They are still creating clothing of great quality, functionality and attention to detail whilst now including the modern fashion edge we all know and love.

Air Horn, NOT!This review is from: Spyder Auto 125db Air Horn - Blue Pros: It is a very loud horn (I only installed one of the included, matching pair). I was able to re-use my stock (99 Toyota Solara) horn mounting hole/location & bolt. I didn't have to modify the wire connector. I can't remember if it was necessary, but I ran a short (ground) wire from the 2nd horn terminal to the mounting bolt. I think the ground wire was needed, but not sure. Great price for 2 loud horns (on sale when purchased). Cons: With only one horn installed (I seriously doubt that having the 2nd one installed would change anything) it sounds like a generic, but very loud, import car horn. This (single installed) unit does not sound like an "air horn reproduced", or any air horn that I've heard or owned. No instructions included (about grounding 2nd terminal or anything). Try it w/o a ground wire from 2nd terminal, if it won't work, add the (home made) ground wire (my stock horn only has one terminal & is internally grounded, when mounted). Other Thoughts: If you want the sound of air horns, buy real air horns! If you just want a loud, & slightly deep/low import sounding horn, this will do... The sound output is somewhat lower pitched than my stock horn (makes it sound like a bigger car???). This unit is heavier & bigger around than my stock Toyota horn. I'm a little concerned that it may eventually come loose (or bend the thin-metal at the mounting location) and hit the radiator. Need to keep an eye on this. In over a month, no problems so far. I drive hard, so this is a good thing! Did you find this review helpful? |
Great shipperThis review is from: Spyder Auto 125db Air Horn - Red Pros: Louder than my old RV horn.Two tones. Quick shipping. Adequate packing. Cons: Not air horns or loud enough to be. Stock Grand Pix horn is as loud. Basically just the horns not much for wiring. Definitely not truck air horns. Other Thoughts: Better than worn out old stock horns. At $20 they'll do. Did you find this review helpful? |
AWESOME FOR THE MONEYThis review is from: Spyder Auto 125db Air Horn - Red Pros: Appears to be very well built and very loud. Cons: None 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Multiple myeloma |
Multiple myeloma is a cancer of your plasma cells, a type of white blood cell present in your bone marrow. Plasma cells normally make proteins called antibodies to help you fight infections.
In multiple myeloma, a group of plasma cells (myeloma cells) becomes cancerous and multiplies, raising the number of plasma cells to a higher than normal level. Since these cells normally make proteins (antibodies), the level of abnormal proteins in your blood also may go up. Health problems caused by multiple myeloma can affect your bones, immune system, kidneys and red blood cell count.
If you have multiple myeloma but don't have symptoms, your doctor may just monitor your condition. If you're experiencing symptoms, a number of treatments are available to help control multiple myeloma.

Video: Ohio neighbor who rescued women speaks out
Posted by Angela Nelson, Boston.com Staff

Charles Ramsey, the neighbor in Cleveland, Ohio, who helped rescue Amanda Berry and two other women, shares what happened in his own words. He said he heard screaming and saw Amanda Berry, whom he didn't recognize, at a door that would open only enough to fit a hand through. He said she was trying desperately to get outside and pleaded for help to reach police.
''I heard screaming,'' he said. ''I'm eating my McDonald's. I come outside. I see this girl going nuts trying to get out of a house.''

Kate Beckinsale arrives at the premiere of Underworld Awakening
Saturday, January 21, 2012
Star of the Underworld vampire movies Kate Beckinsale has told how she had to shun fine foods to get back into her leather catsuit.
The London-born actress has returned to her role as Selene for a fourth instalment in Underworld: Awakening.
The 38-year-old had been filming action thriller Contraband immediately before the latest vampire romp, and admitted it was tricky keeping on top form ready to squeeze back into her Selene costume.
"I was in New Orleans shooting Contraband where's there's the best food in the whole world, so that was annoying," she said at the Underworld premiere in Los Angeles.
"But it's good, it's a costume I really like, so I don't mind too much."
Beckinsale, who is based in LA, said she would like to return to the stage in the near future. Her last appearance on stage was in 1996, before she had her daughter Lily Mo in 1999.
"It's been very important to me to be the person putting her to bed at night, so theatre for me was not an option - that would have been too sad," she explained.
"I think that might change in the next few years."
The star said she would be supportive if her daughter showed an interest in the acting profession.
Both Beckinsale's parents were notable actors. Her father was the late Richard Beckinsale and her mother is TV actress Jude Loe.
Beckinsale said: "I would be supportive. I wouldn't discourage her, because I hated it when people did that to me. I would just encourage her to keep her options open as long as she could.
"It is a decision you make when you're 18, and I think being an actor when you're 18 is a perfect age to be an actor, before you've got kids. It's quite a strange, peripatetic life, you know, that can be sometimes hard to arrange."

Hi, my name is Behr. I'm a Husky/Lab mix that was adopted on Dec 1, 2007. My siblings and I came to Animal Humane Society as an unwanted litter, but my parents don't understand why anyone wouldn't want us since we're so cute. Being part Husky, I love playing in the snow. And it's even better now because I have a sister to play with, a German Shepherd pup my parents adopted last year from another shelter. I love to swim, play, chew on bones, and snuggle. There's nothing I love more than snuggling. Thanks Animal Humane Society for providing me a temporary home so my parents could find me and give me a great place to live. My life is now full of treats, toys, and love!

The Elk-Cameron Board of Realtors recently held its annual Christmas party at Gunner's Restaurant. A good time was had by all. Pictured are board members with donations of toys for an Elk County organization. Mouse Heary was on hand to pick up the toys for distribution to local families.
St. Boniface School performed its Christmas program, "Merry Christmas Museum, on Thursday, Dec. 6.

Students in the St. Marys Area Middle School Band and Show Choir performed a holiday concert for area residents Thursday evening at the high school. They entertained the audience with a variety of traditional and new songs.
St. Marys kicked off the holiday season with Light Up Night on Friday. Many area residents turned out to watch a short parade that escorted Santa Claus and friends into town. The parade included the Crystal Fire Department, Elk County Humane Society, Fox Township Bicentennial float, and the Elk County Catholic High School Marching Band. Following the parade, the lights on the Diamond were turned on, thrilling the crowd. Many children visited Santa at Northwest Savings Bank following the activities on the Diamond.
A new office of the American Red Cross' PA Heartlands Chapter recently opened in St. Marys located on S. Michael Street in the Stone Creek Plaza. The PA Heartlands Chapter encompasses Elk, Cameron, Jefferson and Clearfield counties. The office is the former home of the Elk/Cameron chapter of the Red Cross until it was decided to merge several chapters into one. Jason Bange has been named executive director and has held that title for the past four years at the McKean/Potter chapter. He is shown on the far right with members of the office staff.
Elk Mountain Winery recently donated $700 to Elk Regional Health center to benefit women's health initiatives at ERHC.

The Leapling
It was a busy Friday night, typical in all respects save the date — February 29. Unusual calendar dates used to hold some allure for me, until the Millennium came and went with nary a ripple. The countdown to Y2K, as it was dubbed, approached with the threat of a worldwide computer meltdown. As someone never quite comfortable with the digital revolution, I admit to feeling a certain letdown when the date switched over and the promised Armageddon failed to materialize. In the wake of that big fizzle, I yawn at supposed calendar anomalies.
On the corner by Mr. Mike's Pizza, a trio composed of a younger man and an older couple flagged me down. As the young guy settled into the shotgun seat, I couldn't get a read on him. Though he didn't appear to have been drinking, he did look slightly disheveled, like someone who had just undergone an ordeal.
He pivoted to face the man and woman in the back and asked, "I forget now, Dad. Where is it again you and Mom are staying?"
His mother said, "Andrew, your father won't remember. Let me get out the address." She opened her handbag and fished out a small notebook. "Here it is — 360 Main Street."
"Got it," I said, taking a semi-legal U-turn to head up the hill. Semi-legal maneuvers are my forte — quickie moves that allow me to make time, but are sufficiently benign to get a pass from our friends in blue. After 20-plus years on the job, it's a fine line that I drive with aplomb, if I say so myself. "Is that one of the frats?" I asked, visualizing that stretch of Main Street.
Andrew said, "No, my folks are staying at a B&B, I guess."
"Oh, of course," I said. "That would be the Lang House. It's one of the nicest places in town. Did you folks find a good restaurant to eat in tonight?"
"Not really," my seatmate replied. "We just grabbed some pizza."
"Pizza?" I scoffed, with a chuckle. "If you're staying at the Lang House, you should do better than pizza. There's a long list of fine restaurants in Burlington."
My customers chuckled along, more to be polite — so it seemed — than with any genuine amusement at my banter. "We'll see," Andrew's father spoke up. "Perhaps tomorrow night."
In a jiffy, we arrived at the inn, and I pulled up the driveway to the main entrance, around the back of the big Victorian. "I got this, Dad," Andrew said.
"All right, then," the father replied, and reached over the front seat to place a hand on his son's shoulder. Giving it a squeeze, he said, "Andy, you doing OK?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks again for coming — really. We'll see you guys in the morning at the hospital."
The parents left the cab, and I asked Andrew, "Up to the Fletcher Allen?"
"Yes, please," he replied. "I think they said something about going to the emergency room to gain entrance at this time of night."
As we took a left back onto Main Street, I wanted to ask the man, "Who's at the hospital? What's going on?" But, though I'm typically indiscreet, I thought better.
Andrew took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and said, "My son was born today."
"Really?" I said. "That is just great. Congratulations. I was wanting to ask about the hospital, but, you know . . . Hey, is this your first kid?"
"Yeah, it sure is. This has been a huge trial for my wife and me. They expected some serious heart problems with the baby. I kid you not — there were 15 people in the delivery room."
"Holy smokes," I said, trying to picture such a throng of medical personnel. "How's the baby doing?"
"The baby's doing great and so is my wife. Things turned out much better than anyone expected. The little guy has his eyes open, and I could swear he's smiling. He still has to stay under observation for a few days. They're giving him all these tests, but, so far, so good."
We arrived at the hospital, and the guy fumbled through his pockets looking for some money. "I don't know where anything is, man," he said. "I'm sorry to hold you up."
"No problem whatsoever," I said. "I understand. Take your time."
Finally, he came upon a handful of bills and counted out a few to pay me. I thanked him for the nice tip and asked, "So, have you named the baby yet?"
"We sure have. His name is Niko."
"That's a great name," I said, smiling at the new dad. The love glowing in his eyes was like the sun at daybreak. Fatherhood will do that to a man.
"Yeah, it comes from my wife's family," he said, and now he was getting misty-eyed. Under the best of circumstances, it's a leap of faith to bring a new soul into this world. This young man and his wife had been through the mill and had come out the other side, undoubtedly stronger for the tribulation.
"The whole lot of 'em are Greek!" he added, laughing as he stepped out of the taxi.

Santa Barbara Police arrested a man suspected of causing a fire at a vacant building in the city's downtown area on Thursday.
According to police, someone saw Andrew Gordon Easton, 41, putting out a warming fire outside the building in the 500 block of Chapala Street earlier Thursday morning. Police say Easton is a transient who often camps out in the area. Officers made the arrest at about 12:30 p.m. Thursday, less than 30 minutes after the fire started.
Easton was booked into the Santa Barbara County Jail on suspicion of unlawfully causing a structure fire without malice. Bail was set at $20,000.
Fire investigators believe the fire started on a roll-down door on the outside western edge of the building. They say the wood trim surrounding the door ignited and that the flames spread from there.
The building was most recently home to Montecito Motors. The fire caused an estimated $50,000 in damage.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Oct. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Fairbanks residents flying on Alaska Airlines' Bombardier Q400s starting next March will board and deplane the aircraft using the existing jet bridge at Fairbanks International Airport. The carrier will modify the jet bridge at Gate 1 to provide passengers with warm, easy access to their flights on the turboprop aircraft.
"We listened to customer concerns about boarding the plane outside during the winter and took our time to carefully evaluate all of our options," said Marilyn Romano, Alaska Airlines' regional vice president – Alaska. "With slight modifications to the existing jet bridge, our customers traveling between Fairbanks and Anchorage will have a way to board and deplane that protects them from the cold winter weather and is also safe and accessible for travelers with limited mobility."
Alaska Airlines is exploring a warm boarding solution for customers boarding and deplaning the Q400 at Ted Stevens International Airport in Anchorage, Romano said.
Starting next March, Alaska will increase service between Anchorage and Fairbanks from seven to nine daily flights; eight flights will be operated with the Q400 and one with a Boeing 737. Additionally, the Q400 will replace an Alaska 737 on one of two daily round-trip flights between Anchorage and Kodiak. Initial service to Kodiak will begin March 3 and end April 30, then resume again for seasonal service between October and April.

Editor's note: A high-resolution photo of the Q400 warm boarding jet bridge can be downloaded from the carrier's online image gallery at http://bit.ly/9qVv. High definition b-roll of the Q400 is available for download at http://bit.ly/1emTNEr.
