Tinker Swiss celebrates 60 years
On Sunday, June 13, 1943, just a year after the death of Mrs. Jessie Tinker, a dedicated group of local citizens opened the doors of Tinker Swiss Cottage to the public for the first time and invited 1,500 people to enjoy the unique and spectacular Cottage.
A special new exhibit celebrating the 60th anniversary of this event opened June 8 in the lower level of the Tinker Barn and Visitor Center and will be on display through Nov. 23, 2003. The exhibit, A Museum is Born, celebrates the dedicated volunteers who preserved Tinker Swiss Cottage over the years and transformed it from a private residence to a community treasure. The exhibit is made possible through the support of M. Constance Tucker.
After Mrs. Tinkers death, opinions on what to do with the historic Cottage varied greatly. Early discussion generated such suggestions as tearing Tinker Swiss Cottage down or moving it lock, stock and barrel to Beattie Park. Among the early leaders rallying to save the Cottage was Rockfords then mayor, C. Henry Bloom. The Rockford Park District owned the land and building but was initially uncertain it could care for the estate as a museum.
Throughout the past 60 years, volunteers have worked hard to preserve and restore the Cottage, as well as make it an active community resource. By the 1950s, an auxiliary took charge of tours, routine cleaning and fund-raising events. Funds generated were used for necessary restoration projects. By the 1980s, the Museum Board of Trustees and Auxiliary had begun to look to the future: conservators were consulted regularly, and the organization began moving toward a professionally trained staff that could put standard museum practices into place. The past decade has seen remarkable professionalization, restoration of the Tinkers estate, and dramatic growth of educational programs for all ages.
A Museum is Born! is open during regular museum hours, Tuesday through Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m. Admission is charged to tour the historic Tinker Swiss Cottage; there is no additional fee to see the exhibit. The Museum is just south of Davis Park off South Main Street at 411 Kent St.
Rockford businessman Robert Tinker built Tinker Swiss Cottage in 1865 after he was inspired by the architecture of Switzerland during a grand tour of Europe. The home is filled with the Tinker familys original furnishings, artwork and household belongings, and is a veritable treasure trove of Rockford history. The Cottage is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Third Annual Quilt Raffle
Tinker Swiss Cottage Museum is raffling off a beautiful heirloom-quality quilt to raise funds to support its educational programs and help maintain the historic Cottage. Last years raffle raised a total of $1,367.
This years queen-size quilt (75 feet x 100 feet), titled Fine Weather for Barn Building, is red, green and gold in a pattern of log cabin style quilt blocks. The blocks are set in a barn-raising pattern in honor of the newly reconstructed Tinker Barn. The new building is being used as the Museums Visitor Center. The name of the quilt is a quote from Robert Tinkers 1873 diary when he was raising his own barn.
The quilt was pieced by Museum Curator Donna Langford and quilted by Rose Marie Mize of The Quilters Loft in Bloomington, Ill. Tickets for a chance to win this coverlet will be sold until Dec. 14 for $1 each or six for $5. Tickets are available at the Museum, 411 Kent St., where the quilt is on display. The winning ticket will be drawn Dec. 14, and you need not be present to win.

Milwaukee, WI (Sports Network) - Mark Kotsay drove in the tying and winning runs in Milwaukee's three-run ninth inning, giving the Brewers a thrilling 8-7 win over the Cincinnati Reds in the second meeting of a four-game series.
Kotsay put the Reds in front with a solo home run in the sixth, but his error in the next-half inning helped the Reds push three across for a 7-5 lead.
Francisco Cordero (3-2) couldn't hold the two-run cushion in the ninth, with the first damage coming on an RBI triple by Nyjer Morgan, who recorded the second out of the inning in collision at home plate.
Cordero then walked Prince Fielder and gave up an infield single to Casey McGehee to load the bases. Kotsay, down to his last strike, placed a humpback liner to right, and pinch-runner Carlos Gomez raced around from second and slid in head-first at home to finish off the comeback.
"You need a bazooka to throw [Gomez] out on that ball, that's why they put him out there," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "It seems like they can find a way to get that two-out hit."
Rickie Weeks recorded an inside-the-park home run and added an RBI double for the Brewers, who have won three straight on the heels of a 1-7 stretch.
"We really played a good ballgame. Even if the outcome was different I thought we played well," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said.
Joey Votto and Jay Bruce each homered for the Reds, who have lost four of five overall.
Cincinnati blew a four-run lead and trailed 5-4 after Kotsay's second homer of the season. But in the seventh, Kotsay misplayed Votto's ball down the left- field line, allowing Zack Cozart to score and advancing Votto to third.
Brandon Phillips plated Votto with a sacrifice fly, and Bruce followed with his 20th home run of the season for a 7-5 lead.
Marco Estrada (2-5) pitched a 1-2-3 ninth to earn the win in relief.
Brewers starter Zack Greinke got off to a rough start, yielding two runs in the first inning on Votto's solo blast to left-center and Bruce's RBI single.
The Reds doubled their lead in the third when Scott Rolen hit one off Mat Gamel's glove in third to score Drew Stubbs and Edgar Renteria.
Weeks got the Brewers on the board via his second career inside-the-parker in the bottom of the third. The All-Star second baseman, who will be in this year's Home Run Derby, smoked a ball high off the angled wall in center that caromed back towards left field. Weeks never stopped running, and by the time the relay throw reached the infield he was already crossing home plate.
Milwaukee tied things in the fifth. Weeks plated Greinke all the way from first with a gapper to right, then scored on Morgan's base hit. Morgan later moved to third on Corey Hart's single and trotted home on Fielder's sac fly to right.

Just what I needed I bought this top for a mud run. It was light weight even when wet. I'll definitely be getting a lot of use out of it. August 12, 2014
It's RED and a good fit! This tank top is a good fit, even around the belly area which is a bit loose and not tightly fitted. I always look for shirts with a bit of room in the waist. I love the color red and the first reason I purchased this tank. Unfortunately everything is pink and purple on the market for women and I really wish to see more variation with red. July 4, 2014
NIke Tank I am in love with this tank. I am so bummed that they did not have any more in my size. I would have bought one in every color! I am a Pilates instructor and I am always looking for tank that are a little longer. This one is perfect for teaching class and then it is cute so I wear it while I run errands. June 11, 2014
Love it Love it , I have the red one . Good fit , very comfortable . They have in color gray too , but the color ,, in my own opinion ...looks too masculine , and boring.. June 10, 2014

Dead Man Walking: The Eyewitness Account of the Death Penalty That Sparked a National Debate (Paperback)
On Our Shelves Now
In 1982, Sister Helen Prejean became the spiritual advisor to Patrick Sonnier, the convicted killer of two teenagers who was sentenced to die in the electric chair of Louisiana's Angola State Prison. In the months before Sonnier's death, the Roman Catholic nun came to know a man who was as terrified as he had once been terrifying. At the same time, she came to know the families of the victims and the men whose job it was to execute him--men who often harbored doubts about the rightness of what they were doing.
Out of that dreadful intimacy comes a profoundly moving spiritual journey through our system of capital punishment. Confronting both the plight of the condemned and the rage of the bereaved, the needs of a crime-ridden society and the Christian imperative of love, Dead Man Walking is an unprecedented look at the human consequences of the death penalty, a book that is both enlightening and devastating.
About the Author
Helen Prejean, C. S. J., is a writer, lecturer, and community organizer who was born in Baton Rouge and has lived and worked in Louisiana all her life. Her groundbreaking firsthand account of the death penalty, Dead Man Walking, has been adapted into a movie, an opera, and a play for high schools and colleges. She is also the author of The Death of Innocents: An Eyewitness Account of Wrongful Executions. She has lectured extensively on the subject of capital punishment and has appeared on 60 Minutes, NBC's Today Show, NPR's Weekend Edition and Fresh Air, PBS's Frontline, BBC World Service radio, and an NBC special series on the death penalty. She has received honorary degrees from colleges and universities across the United States. She is a member of the Congregation of St. Joseph.
Praise for Dead Man Walking: The Eyewitness Account of the Death Penalty That Sparked a National Debate…
"Deeply moving . . . Sister Prejean is an excellent writer, direct and honest and unsentimental. . . . She almost palpably extends a hand to her readers." —The New York Times Book Review
"An immensely moving affirmation of the power of religious vocation. . . . Stunning moral clarity." —The Washington Post Book World
"Here is one voice for life. We really should need no other." —The New York Review of Books
"An intimate meditation on crime and punishment, life and death, justice and mercy and—above all—Christian love in its most all-embracing sense. . . . [Prejean] never shrinks from the horror of what she has seen. She never resorts to something so predictable as pathos or a play for sympathy." —Los Angeles Times
"A remarkable writer . . . Prejean's manner of describing the tortured relations among prisoners, criminal-justice officers and victims' families would be the envy of many novelists. Even if your own views on capital punishment are set in concrete, you are sure to be moved by the force of Prejean's personality and commitment." —Glamour
"Painful and powerful . . . [Prejean's] practical moral courage is heroic." —The New Yorker
"Providing a gritty look at what really happens in the final hours of a death row inmate . . . Prejean takes readers to a place most will thankfully never know . . . adeptly probing the morality of a judicial system and a country that kills its citizens." —San Francisco Chronicle
"An impassioned condemnation of capital punishment." —Cleveland Plain Dealer
"This arresting account should do for the debate over capital punishment what the film footage from Selma and Birmingham accomplished for the civil rights movement: turn abstractions into flesh and blood. Tough, fair, bravely alive—you will not come away from this book unshaken."

The 5 Best Ways to Increase Appetite Naturally
Charles Poliquin
Wednesday, April 27, 2011 9:41 AM
by Charles Poliquin
Although overeating is a major problem in this country, undereating is a problem for many individuals who want to gain strength and muscle mass. Often it's not their intent to eat light, but they simply do not have an appetite. And without enough calories, they will not be able to train as hard as they can and then recover adequately.
Of course, if you go on the Internet and consult Mr. Google, you can find many funky solutions – such as getting a prescription for the drug Periactin and smoking cannabis, or better yet, getting a prescription for cannabis. While it's true that smoking cannabis does cause the "munchies," it does so at the cost of cutting down motivation and lowering testosterone for extended periods of time. And yes, the drug Periactin does increase appetite, but it can make you drowsy, therefore reducing your training drive – oh, and there are a few other possible side effects, including fever, seizures and hallucinations.
Are there safer and more effective alternatives to increasing your appetite, ones that don't involve controlled substances? There certainly are. Here I present five for your consideration, along with several links to sites that have additional information on resolving this serious issue.
1. Verify your zinc status
. Zinc deficiency is one of the most common and most serious mineral deficiencies. Whenever I test my clients for the first time, I've found that roughly 98 percent are zinc deficient. It's so common that it's probably safe for any trainer to assume that all their clients are zinc deficient until they can prove otherwise. And this is not good.
Besides compromising your testosterone levels and increasing aromatization of your testosterone to estrogen, low levels of zinc are associated with poor appetite levels. One reason for this is that you need zinc to make HCl, the primary substance that regulates digestion of proteins. Another reason is that zinc affects how your food tastes, therefore affecting your appetite. A BioSignature practitioner can work with you in using the Zinc Tester to give you an idea of your zinc status.
To verify your zinc status most accurately, ask your physician to measure your red blood cell (RBC) zinc, NOT serum zinc levels. Strength and power athletes train most efficiently at RBC zinc levels of 1,400 to 1,500 ug/dL. By getting the proper amount of zinc, not only will you boost your appetite, your testosterone, immune system and tendon strength will soar. If you score low, take 2 Über Zinc twice a day for 12 weeks, and then remeasure your RBC zinc to adjust your zinc intake properly.
2. Use injectable forms of folic acid and B12
. Those two forms of B vitamins are critical in stimulating the appetite, and the most effective way to achieve optimal levels is through injection. Your physician can prescribe the injectable forms for you; 1 cc of each, twice a week, usually does the trick. Undiagnosed low stomach acid is linked to various neurological disorders such as dementia and Alzheimer's because those ailments are linked to folic acid and B12 status (i.e. no stomach acid, no folic acid and B12 absorption). Which brings us to tip number three.
3. Restore your HCl levels.
Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is a stomach acid that helps to break down food into useable nutrients and kills pathogenic bacteria that enter the body through food. Having low levels of HCl decreases your appetite for protein. Learn how you can
self-assess your HCl levels
For a better understanding of how low levels of
HCl can hamper your gains
4. Start the day with lime juice diluted in water.
This is an inexpensive trick that works well. Foods can be classified as being alkalizing or acidifying, as determined by what's known as a pH scale. The pH scale is measured from 0 to 14, with 0 to 7 considered acidic and 7.1 to 14 considered alkaline. Adding lime juice to water creates a slightly acidic solution that will stimulate your HCl production. The paradoxical part is that the solution helps to alkalize you, which is anabolic in itself, as an alkaline state negates the catabolic effects of cortisol.
5. Salt your food properly.
Functional medicine tests show, over and over, that high-protein consumers are in fact sodium deficient. But it has to be the right kind of sodium. Salt your meat and fish dishes liberally. Find out the
real deal about salt.
If you apply these tips, your lack of appetite will cease to hamper your gains. In the comments section below (make sure to put in your full name), let me know what has worked for you in the past to increase your appetite.

Indie Next ListMarch 2011
A baby is born with the signs of a sea of horses, a conference of birds and the North Star in alignment with the moon. These signs fulfill an ancient prophecy that a young girl will put the world right again, on its axis. Eleanor Cohen, an eight-year-old child prodigy, learns of her fate just as the Sultan of Stamboul has requests her presence. He is so impressed by her that he asks for advice in matters of state. This is a tale of mystery and political intrigue set in the exotic locale of 1885 Istanbul, but it has definite significance for our own time and place. -- Karen Briggs, Great Northern Books and Hobbies, Oscoda, MI
Ushered into the world by a mysterious pair of Tartar midwives late in the summer of 1877 in the town of Constanta on the Black Sea, Eleonora Cohen proves herself an extraordinarily gifted childa prodigyat a very young age. When she is eight years old, she stows away aboard a ship, following her carpet merchant father, Yakob, to the teeming and colorful imperial capital of Stamboul where a new life awaits her.
In the narrow streets of this city at the crossroads of the world, intrigue and gossip are currency, and people are not always what they seem. But it is only when she charms the eccentric Sultan Abdulhamid IIbeleaguered by friend and foe as his unwieldy realm crumblesthat Eleonora will change the course of an empire.

Mattress Pad
I have purchased much more expensive mattress pads which aren't half as nice. The quilted top with the plasticized waterproof material on the bottom keeps you from sweating. I was most pleased with this items and have purchased them for all my beds.Read More
Do not buy this pad
This pad leaked badly after the third washing. We followed the washing instructions carefully so that was not the problem. There were no cracks or holes that were visible but we might as well have had nothing at all on the bed given the amount that came through. This is an inferior product. Do not buy it.Read More
Beautyrest Mattress Cover
I was very pleased by the product, overall. The fabric is smooth and comfortable and, it doesn't use any vinyl sheeting to make it waterproof. As a result, you never hear the cold sounds of vinyl crackling under you when you change positions. It is also deep enough to cover a large mattress, so it fits the bed beautifully. If you are like I am and many, many others, who find eating in bed is not only a comfort but comfortable, you'll want to make sure that you'll be anticipating any damage that might occur. Spills, from a liquid source is potentially one of the worst accidents and one of the most damaging to a mattress. That's when you can take comfort in knowing that your mattress is well protected by an upscale, well made ,"fool proof" mattress cover like the Ultimate Beautyrest Protective Mattress Cover. Of course, you still have to change your sheets and all, but if you choose to eat in bed, it's a small price to pay for this indulgence. SusiesQdomRead More
This was not at all what we expected.
We opened the mattress pad and immediately were worried. It was very noisey right off the bat....sounded like plastic crinkling. We put it on the bed and it was very uncomfortable. Because of the material of the lining, it did not allow the mattress to breathe, therefore, we were very hot and even began to sweat. The noise, of course, continued to be an issue with the mattress pad on the bed. Every time one of us would roll over or move, you would hear the material (lining) crinkle. And there was also a strong odor from the material of the waterproof lining.Read More
I bought this set after doing a lot of research on mattress' pads. I have a two year old who is just starting potty training so a mattress pad is essential. However I did not want to buy one that would fall apart after one wash. I am so impressed with this! It made the bed very soft, the pillow like top is wonderful. Also it doesn't make the typical crunching sound most mattress covers produce.Read More
Loosens up too much
After using this mattress cover for about a month, I can safely say that this is a product I would not repurchase or recommend. It fits nicely when you first put it on, but after using for a while, it gets so loose and baggy around my mattress. It's really annoying feeling the wrinkled up mattress cover underneath my sheets.Read More
waterproof mattress pad
I decided to not spend thousands on a new mattress but restored my current mattress with new bedding material. Started with this waterproof mattress pad (after I had very carefully cleaned the old one). This was tested by me before I added on the other items I also bought at overstock. I added on top of this the lambswool mattress pad and then the sheets and finally the comforters. Voila! At a fraction of the price I have a new bed!!! Well, as good as I can get it anyway. It was a good choice. I bought it more for the feature of sealing up the mattress after disinfectant and bug spray but then after I got it my older cat had a mistake and it was no big thing. So, glad I did have it set up and I do hightly recommend this productd. Fits very close to size. Mine is a cal king and fits nicely but no spare room.Read More
Sizing Terrible
I bought this waterproof mattress pad because we are turning a bedroom into a guest room and I wanted to have a really well-made pad for the full-size mattress. I opened the pad and tried putting it on the bed. Although it is marked "Full Size" it does not reach the corners. Would not recommend this pad since it is unusable for this mattress.Read More
Vinyl backed?? I've had a vinyl covered mattress as a hospital bed. It was awful. Why would anyone want to sleep with any vinyl at all??Read More
Poor quality off Construction
Plastic backing stitched at different dimensions than top cover causing a very poor fit on the mattress. Plastic backing also makes the bed hot. Cover is also noisy.Read More

How to Choose Mattress Pads
Mattress pads serve a variety of functions. They add comfort to your mattress, they change its texture, and they protect it from stains. Finding the right mattress pad can be tricky, but it's not impossible. Take a look at the article below to learn how to choose mattress pads.
FAQs about Mattress Pads
A mattress pad is a helpful yet often-overlooked bedding item. Mattress pads are multifunctional; they can protect your mattress, provide extra cushioning and softness, and keep your bed sheets from sliding out of place. Contemporary mattress pads come in various styles and types, each made to fill a specific purpose. These answers to frequently asked questions about mattress pads will help you shop for the pad that's right for your bed.
How to Dry Foam Mattress Pads
On top of your current mattress, mattress pads add comfort without costing you a fortune. A new mattress pad will make your bed feel brand new and offer support that your bed may be lacking due to years of use. Foam mattress pads come in different sizes to fit different mattress sizes. When accidents happen, such as spilled water, or when you need to spot clean, understanding how to dry a foam mattress pad is important. Read through this article to learn how to dry foam mattress pads.
How to Choose a Mattress Pad
If you're looking to increase the comfort level of your mattress, a mattress pad is a sound investment. Mattress pads provide a variety of benefits, and once you have decided how you want to improve your bed, then choosing one will be simple.
How to Buy Sheets to Fit a Pillow-Top Mattress
Everyone knows that pillow-top mattresses are designed for additional softness and comfort. Due to the padding, pillow-top mattresses have more depth than regular mattresses. The height of the padding varies, but generally, manufacturers make pillow-top mattresses in depths varying from 7 to 22 inches. Specially made deep-pocket sheets for pillow-top mattresses are available; however, it is important to know the depth of your mattress before purchasing sheets. Here's how to buy the best sheets to fit your pillow-top mattress.
Best-selling Mattresses
There are basically three common types of mattresses used today: spring mattresses, memory foam mattresses, inflatable mattresses and feather beds. Each type has its own benefits. A mattress pad is a less expensive way to add comfort to your bed than purchasing a whole new mattress. With that said, if your mattress is lumpy or saggy, a mattress topper probably won't make much difference. If it is good, though, you have many different choices in material, price, and comfort. Whatever you get, just make sure you purchase the right size for your bed frame. Take a look below to learn more about the best-selling mattresses on the market.
Best Sleeping Pads to Use with Sleeping Bags
If you dislike sleeping on the cold, hard ground, a sleeping pad underneath your sleeping bag can really save you a night of discomfort. A sleeping pad is also essential for keeping your sleeping bag protected when you're roughing it. When you're packing up your sleeping bag, tent and other camping gear, don't forget a sleeping pad to keep you comfortable in the great outdoors. There are three basic types of sleeping pads available for use with sleeping bags: air mattresses,, foam pads and self-inflating pads. The type of pad you'll need depends on what kind of camping you'll be doing and how much padding you prefer.
How to Recycle a Memory Foam Mattress Pad
Once your memory foam mattress pad stops providing springy support for your mattress, it's time to let it go. In fact, switching out your memory foam mattress topper every 10 years is recommended to ensure that you're getting the support you want while you sleep. Rather than throwing your old memory foam bedding away, try repurposing it with a few helpful tips. Keep reading to learn how to recycle a memory foam mattress pad in an eco-friendly way.
Top 5 Reasons for Buying an Air Mattress
Air mattresses aren't what they used to be. Nowadays, air mattresses offer a slew of sleep-inducing features, like pillow tops, memory foam mattress pads and even built in MP3s, vastly improving on their giant-sized, pool-toy predecessors. As features improve, air mattresses, also known as air beds, are becoming more and more popular and are being used for a number of different functions, even in place of regular mattresses. Keep reading to find out the top five ways that you can get the most out of your air mattress.
How to Compare Memory Foam Mattress Toppers
An investment in a good night's sleep, a memory foam mattress topper is made to mold to your individual shape, support every part of your body, and cut down on painful pressure points that can develop when you're not properly supported during sleep. Mattress toppers also add a bit more padding to your standard mattress, making your bed even more relaxing. Here's how to choose the best one for you.
FAQs about Getting Rid of Bedbugs
Bedbug problems are on the rise, and so are bedbug solutions. Mattress covers in particular are often marketed as a way to prevent or eliminate bedbug infestations.

However, doing a bit of homework on mattress covers, also known as mattress protectors, can help you understand just how effective mattress covers are so that you'll be satisfied with your purchase. Keep reading for the answers to frequently asked questions about bedbug mattress covers.
FAQs about Memory Foam Mattress Toppers

How to Pick a Mattress Pad for a Sleeper Sofa

Purchase a high-quality mattress pad to ensure your guests are as comfortable and well-rested as possible after a night on your sleeper sofa. Look below to learn how to pick a mattress pad for a sleeper sofa.
FAQs about Deep Pocket Sheets

If you're not sure what to shop for, take a look at these answers to frequently asked questions about deep pocket sheets.
How to Choose a Memory Foam Mattress Topper
Memory foam, also called "temper foam," was first developed by NASA in the mid-1960s to ensure passenger comfort and protection in airplane seats. Memory foam mattress toppers mold to the body, and then slowly spring back to their original shape. This makes them ideal for those with back or joint pain. However, not all memory foam mattress toppers are the same. Here's how to choose one that will best suit your needs.
Unique Ways to Use a Memory Foam Mattress Topper
In recent years, memory foam mattress toppers have become a staple in bedrooms everywhere. They provide support for back-pain sufferers and instantly upgrade an old mattress, but memory foam can also serve different purposes.

We raised monoclonal antibodies against homogenates of ovaries of Ciona intestinalis. We obtained an antibody named GC-1 which specifically recognized early germ cells in C. intestinalis and C. savignyi. Using GC-1 as a marker in immunoelectron microscopy, we determined the morphological sequence of early oogenesis in the ovaries of Ciona. In the stratified epithelium composing the wall of the ovarian tubes, the oocytes were identifiable at the early stages of meiotic prophase according to nuclear features such as condensed chromatin with synaptonemal complexes. GC-1 recognized these early oocytes. We found round cells with large and homogeneous nuclei clustered at the marginal end of the stratified epithelium. We identified these cells as oogonia on the basis of: (1) features of the nucleus, (2) reactivity to GC-1, and (3) early emergence in the developing ovaries. The oogonia were classified into three types: type A was large (7–9 μm in diameter) and clear, type B was intermediate in size (5–6 μm) and electron-density, and type C was small (4–5 μm) and dark. In the developing ovaries of juvenile C. intestinalis, type A oogonia appeared first (before 11 days after settlement) and types B and C followed (15 days after settlement). Thus we see that the type A is the oogenetic stem cell, type B is the proliferating oogonium, and type C is the final oogonium just before meiosis. The oocytes appeared 18 days after metamorphosis.

This month, the Online Interest-Based Advertising Accountability Program (Accountability Program) issued a Compliance Warning to website publishers that permit third parties to collect information for interest-based advertising on their websites, but are not yet providing consumers with notice of this practice on every webpage where data is being collected. This notice must link to an explanation of their practises and provide an easy-to-use choice mechanism.
The Compliance Warning, which can be viewed in full here, explains what website owners must do to come into compliance with this requirement of the Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioural Advertising. It warns that strict enforcement will begin on January 1, 2014. Businesses which do not comply with this standard will not be eligible for BBB Accreditation.
Businesses must consult with their information technology services, website designers, and/or development team to discover whether third parties are collecting information on their websites. Businesses should also ensure that their contracts do not permit the collection of data for interest based ads, or for selling to other businesses for such use.
This warning comes with a reminder that all BBB Accredited Businesses are expected to retain full control of their websites, in order to make any changes required to be in full compliance with the Better Business Bureau Code of Advertising and Code of Business Practices. This includes, but is not limited to, the modification of any false or misleading advertising, as well as the addition of a privacy policy where sensitive information is being collected from site users. Businesses who fail to ensure their websites are in full compliance with all Codes and Standards may not be considered for Accreditation.
Canada has two federal privacy laws: the Privacy Act and the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). The Privacy Act gives individuals the right to access and request correction of personal information about themselves held by these federal government organizations, while PIPEDA sets out ground rules for how private sector organizations may collect, use or disclose personal information in the course of commercial activities. PIPEDA also gives individuals the right to access and request correction of the personal information these organizations may have collected about them.
Oversight of both federal Acts rests with the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, who is authorized to receive and investigate complaints. In addition, the BBB Code of Advertising and Code of Business Practices promotes the enforcement of Canada's privacy laws by outlining that all BBB Accredited Businesses must safeguard the information they collect from consumers and be transparent about how the collected information is used.
Here are some tips for a better online privacy policy and improved privacy practice transparency, set-forth by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Ontario:
Make your privacy policy about your business. Outline the information your organization collects and why (including secondary purposes such as marketing), how you will use such information and under what circumstances you will disclose it. Other organizations' privacy policies may serve as useful references for style, formatting, and/or approach, but your policy should be unique to your organization.
Be specific and provide meaningful information. Avoid talking in generalities. This is your opportunity to avoid any potential confusion. Make clear what personal information is collected (such as identification documents/numbers, date of birth, video surveillance images or cookies) for what purpose (such as identity verification, security or marketing). If you disclose personal information to "third parties", explain who those parties are, or what services they provide.
Privacy Choices. Tell customers about any choices you offer regarding the collection, use or disclosure of their information (such as opting out of the use of personal information for marketing purposes). Clearly explain how they can exercise those choices.
Provide a clear explanation of how people can obtain access to their personal information held by your organization. Also include how they can request correction or deletion of this information.
Explain how cookies are used. People look to your online privacy policy not only to learn about how their information is collected by your website (such as cookies, and IP addresses), but also how the information they submit will be used and/or disclosed.
Keep your Privacy Policy Updated. Your privacy policy should reflect your current data collection methods and privacy management practises. You should always state when the last update took place.
Include Your Contact Information. If consumers have questions or concerns about your privacy policy, your information should be readily available for them.
Make privacy information easy to find. Place the link to your privacy policy somewhere prominent, such as your home page or the pages where personal information is collected.
Keep it simple. Explain your practises in ways that are easy to understand. Consider providing plain language summaries of complex subjects. Also consider removing any unnecessarily lengthy content.
For more information about PIPEDA and the Privacy Act, please contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Ontario at http://www.priv.gc.ca/. There you will find a useful selection of guidance documents further outlining the privacy responsibilities of businesses and organizations.

Why I'm sticking with my 2014 game plan
The end of June, as the halfway point, is a good time to stop and reevaluate the assumptions you brought into the year. Are your strategies still working; and if not, what is your game plan for the second half of the year?
So with that in mind, let's take a look at what I was saying in January:You will see a handful of consistent themes across Sizemore Capital portfolios: 1) I am overweight Europe and emerging markets. 2) I am overweight dividend-paying U.S. equities. 3) I am underweight non-dividend-paying U.S. equities. While I remain broadly bullish on U.S. equities in general, in my view they no longer offer compelling value. Looking overseas, I see much more attractive pricing and better opportunities for capital gains. Europe, by and large, has not participated in the past five years' worth of bull markets, and the continent is only now starting to emerge from its post-crisis, austerity-driven recession. And most emerging markets, which collectively were a fantastic asset class for most of the 2000s, have traded sideways or down since 2011. Finally, now that tapering by the U.S. Federal Reserve is well underway, I expect investors to reevaluate income securities. Dividend paying stocks and, particularly, "bond substitutes" such as REITs were dumped indiscriminately in 2013 as investors, terrified of what tapering might mean, sold first and asked questions later. But as the reality sets in that inflation remains near generational lows and Fed tapering will be a slow process, I expect all yield-focused investments to enjoy a healthy rally in the first half of 2014. For the most part, these were the right calls to make. U.S. stocks have performed a little better than I expected, but gains have been modest. Bond yields have retreated, and "bond-like" REITs have enjoyed good returns.

If this Indian/Taiwanese wedding celebration doesn't make you smile or tap your feet, you have no soul. Ok, that was a little harsh, but seriously....
There is something mesmerizing about a wedding of this scale. The way that Andrew & Dhruti's wedding took over the whole venue and was the main focus of the day was incredible. Even Andrew & Dhruti were taken aback by the scale and value of both the material decorations and the amount of support from their family & friends. Beautiful countryside venue, traditional bridegroom entrance on a horse, gorgeous Indian traditions (Mehndi), an epic pre-ceremony parade followed by surprise choreographed dance sequences at the reception (i.e. DRAGONS!). There is also something spectacular in the way that the love of two people brings two families together in the way that Andrew and Dhruti's does. No one wanted the party to end! It was a sunny day not only filled with love and the blending of two families...but of two cultures and heritages. It was an honor to document it all for you guys Andrew & Dhruti...enjoy and congrats!
Things we LOVED about this wedding (in no particular order):
1. The Familial support; Andrew's brother learned a new language to great the guests!
2. A pre ceremony parade complete with the groom on a white horse.
3. A Dragon!!
4. Dancing...and more dancing
5. Floating lanterns at the end of the night
Venue: Rose Hill Plantation
Ceremony Coordinator: Dr. Shukla
Photographer: Charo Donahue
Caterer: Dilawar Singh

In less than three weeks since the launch of its new compact sedan, the Zest, Tata Motors has received over 10,000 orders from dealers across India, the company tweeted on Monday. These cars are to be delivered to the dealers over the next two months.
This number is close to the number of passenger vehicles it sold in August. The carmaker, part of the salt-to-software Tata Group, sold 10,975 cars in August, down 5% from the year earlier.
The overwhelming initial response to the new car, which the carmaker has been relying on heavily to turn around its fortunes, may finally help it turn the corner.
�It is early days yet, but we are beginning to see the impact (of Zest�s launch) on our sedan sales, which are up 106% year-on-year in August, and this is just after having the new product in the market for 15 days,� Ranjit Yadav, president of passenger vehicles at Tata Motors, told FE.
Petrol variants of Tata Motors� latest entry-level sedan, which will run on the newly developed Revotron engine, are seeing a waiting period of 4-6 weeks.
The Zest is also helping Tata Motors� dealers capitalise on rising footfall as eager buyers check out the new car. Many potential customers whose budgets don�t match with the Zest�s price are being pitched other cars at lower price points.
�We are seeing a positive rub-off on sales of other models at our dealerships,� Yadav said. �Seeing the upsurge in demand, we are gradually ramping up the assembly line and gearing up for the festive season (which will continue all the way till December).�
Analysts estimate Tata Motors will sell 40,000-60,000 units of the Zest in the first year of launch due to the aggressive pricing strategy. Not only does the Zest compete with other sedans, like the Honda Amaze and Maruti Dzire, it is also priced below hatchbacks like the Hyundai Elite i20.
The company has priced the Zest at Rs 4.83 lakh (ex-showroom, Mumbai) for the entry-level petrol version. The base diesel variant carries a price tag of Rs 5.88 lakh.
�While the response to the Zest is tremendous, we expect sales to pick up after October. As momentum builds, sales could easily cross 5,000 per month,� one of Tata Motors� largest dealers in the country said.

Former tabloid editor Brooks denies knowing about phone hacking
Published on Feb 21, 2014 4:07 AM
LONDON (AFP) - Former Murdoch executive Rebekah Brooks on Thursday denied knowing anything about phone hacking while editing Britain's News of the World tabloid, as she took the stand for the first time in her trial.
Brooks is charged with conspiring in voicemail hacking, conspiring to bribe public officials and two counts of trying to cover up her alleged crimes, although she was cleared Thursday of a fifth charge of approving a payment for a photo of Prince William in a bikini.
Almost three years after she was first arrested in July 2011 and three and a half months into the trial, the former chief executive of Rupert Murdoch's British newspaper stable News International finally had a chance to put her side of the story.
Brooks was asked by her lawyer if she had ever heard mentioned the name of Glenn Mulcaire, a private detective who worked for the tabloid while she was editor and who was jailed in 2007 for hacking phones.

Artist Jeremy Deller's 2001 "Battle of Orgreave" – restaging a violent clash of the 1984 UK miners' strikeMonday, April 15th, 2013
In 2001 UK artist Jeremy Deller restaged the Battle of Orgreave, a violent 1984 clash between Yorkshire miners and police during the UK miners' strike, and one of the many dark events of the Thatcher years. 2001 was an interesting moment to choose for such a restaging; this incident of the Thatcher years was 17 years past and not at the front of anyone's consciousness. Perhaps this very amnesia was part of Deller's motivation. In the historical reconstruction he employed 800 people, including 284 local community members many of whom had actually been involved in the strike and even the clash itself. In some cases those who had been miners played police in the reconstruction, and vice versa. The restaging was filmed by director Mike Figgis for a Channel 4 TV documentary.
The death of Maggie Thatcher this week brought Deller's piece to mind again, since Thatcher was of course the origin of those dire events in Yorshire. It's a brilliant, affecting artwork. This is probably an unauthorized video (not mine) and I'm not sure how long it will stay up, so it's worth watching while you can.
Deller won the Turner Prize in 2004.
Artist George Norris (1928-2013), creator of Vancouver's popular giant steel crab sculptureSunday, March 17th, 2013
George Norris, the artist who made what is arguably Vancouver's most famous piece of public art—a giant steel crab in front of the Vancouver Museum and Planetarium—has died in Victoria. It's odd that so few know Norris's name, considering the crab's popularity, how prolific he was in his career, and his long art teaching career in Vancouver and Banff.
Vancouver does have a long history of ignoring its own artists even as they're celebrated elsewhere, but I'm still surprised that so many of Norris' public pieces have been removed and destroyed, including the tall steel piece below which used to stand outside Pacific Centre downtown. This post is just a small reminder of Norris' work. Find more information— here and many more works here.
One of Norris' most popular works is the frieze on the exterior of the post office at 8th and Pine (I believe that's the corner). Photo below.
Norris was trained in Vancouver and London at the Slade School. Norris is the uncle of award-winning Vancouver artist Arabella Campbell.
Everybody works but the vacant lotSunday, February 17th, 2013
Everybody works but the vacant lot, Henry George as quoted by Fay Lewis
This is a parody artwork at Vancouver's 221A Artist-Run Centre, parodying the "Micro Loft" building being erected next door to it in the current lightning-fast condo land rush taking place in Chinatown.
From their website:
221A is pleased to present Cube Living (Phase 2), a 4-week artist-in-residence with artist and designer Alex Grünenfelder, running from January 23 to February 25, 2013. Grünenfelder will examine how real estate developments operate as containers that capture living space as urban spatial commodities through the packaging of bodies, objects, lifestyles, identities, capital and politics.
Grünenfelder will begin a limited release of micro-properties measuring 1 cubic foot. This innovative product addresses the stagnation and endemic unaffordability of Vancouver's real estate market. In developing a spatial commodity that can be purchased in very small units, Cube Living is able to offer affordable properties at prices under $50! Micro-properties are an accessible solution to the inflated real estate market crisis that threatens to push Vancouver's economy into decline.
Many Vancouver residents find it difficult or impossible to enter the market. Despite government urban densification policies that have brought 10,000 new condo units to the city each year, [1] Vancouver remains the second least-affordable city in the world. [2]
Vancouver has experienced explosive real estate development since 1986. In the 2000s, then-mayor Sam Sullivan's Ecodensity program initiated radical urban densification with the aim of promoting housing affordability and environmentally sustainable neighbourhoods. Pundits declared that flooding the market with new condos would result in more affordable—or at least stable—prices, so that new buyers could purchase small units and eventually trade up into a larger living space. Buildings got taller and condos got smaller, but prices have kept rising. Development and construction hasn't been able to meet the goal of affordability and now the city is faced with a dire situation.
"The current property market is almost saturated. Sales are in decline because people can't afford to lower their asking prices. We need to expand into new markets, and the only way to produce a lower tier of affordable entry-level properties is to create highly liquid, easily tradeable micro-spaces. This is the only way to address the affordability crisis within our market-driven real-estate economy."

Art and cooperatives in the economyTuesday, February 12th, 2013
Photo by Dan Toulgoet , Vancouver Courier – Elvy Del Bianco presents rare films shot in Vancouver between 1964 and 1988 at the Waldorf Hotel in 2011.
This is one of the more interesting short talks I've listened to, and I'm posting it here in the hope that it gets wider distribution. It was presented by Elvy Del Bianco, a researcher with major BC credit union VanCity, itself a cooperative. Del Bianco's position at VanCity is quite unique; his job is to research the relationship between arts and innovation and promote a cooperative business model in an attempt to foster social capital locally. What is social capital? Well, the short answer is that it's the various benefits of cooperation. Del Bianco explains using the model of Italy's Emilia-Romagna region, one of the most profitable in the EU thanks to its "lego economics" in which smaller businesses (balsamic vinegar, parmesan, even Ferrari) combine resources to leverage economic power. Culture both plays a role in and benefits from this model. It is also interesting to note that the region is not just wealthy but is one of the most democratic anywhere, with a small income gap in what is historically a left-wing Italian heartland with a long history of employee-owned companies.
Below is Del Bianco's 6-minute talk at Vancouver's Pecha Kucha, and it's well worth watching no matter where you live. The audio is a little challenging at points, and as I found out when I spoke at Pecha Kucha, you have to speak quickly if you want to fit complex ideas into a 6 minute spiel. But it's an extremely interesting talk. His comments the challenges facing arts and culture in Vancouver are interesting; he talks about condo development speculation driving unaffordability, as well as the massive, unique-in-Canada massive cuts to cultural investment on the part of BC's provincial government.
Bianco is himself an artist, having worked many years as an actor after training at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. He grew up in East Vancouver.
Enjoy the musicWednesday, January 16th, 2013

Abstract: This paper examines the role of organizational form in explaining the economic impact of corporate new product strategies. I find that the wealth effects associated with the announcements of new product introductions are more favorable for introducing firms with focused activities than for those with diversified activities. The results hold even after controlling for other factors suggested in the literature that could affect the value of new product introductions. The findings in this study suggest that the efficient investment hypothesis dominates the internal capital markets hypothesis in terms of the net economic impact of new product introductions on the introducing firms.
