Rated 5 out of 5Â by tinkerbelle sweet sweater. I'm 5'11 usually a small in FP tops but decided to size up to a medium after reading the reviews. So glad I did! I really didn't find it itchy at all. 11.20.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Sparepony Almost but not quite I was so excited about this sweater, but sadly, it went back. It runs small. I ordered large and although tall, I'm thin and it would not have been an oversized comfy sweater like I'd hoped. Beware the pink color - it is not merely bright pink, it is truly NEON FLORESCENT pink!! Really, I could barely look at it it was so bright. Too bad. It was soft and I liked the style but couldn't make it work due to color and size. 8.28.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by guitarjudy Love Love this sweater I bought the blue and the ivory, and am considering the hot pink too. I like warm sweaters, and this one is perfect. It is easy to wear. You don't need to buy something else to wear under it, and it isn't too bulky to wear under a jacket. I love the length, it's not too long on my petite frame, and I love the longer sleeves. Very attractive and cozy. 8.28.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by freepeoplegurl77 Not what I was hoping for..... I had been admiring this sweater on The FP Website and store sites on Facebook. When I put it on it did not fit like I hoped and looked all stretched out not to mention it made me itch and sneeze like crazy. I prefer the oversized shaggy sweater by far. But just because it was not for me does not mean you should not try it if you admire it. 9.7.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by KaffeineJunkie Should have sized up more! I am never sure whether to order a size XS or S, and after reading the recommendation to size up for a slouchy fit, I went with the S in the snow colour. The colour is nice and just like the pictures, but the yarn used is quite itchy and not at all as soft as it looks. I'll have to wear something under it for sure. It also fits more like in the last picture shown for the "snow" colour (I think this is the catalogue shot). It is definitely more fitted than I was expecting. In the other pics, it looks like the model is wearing it with leggings and it is long enough to cover her butt... this was not the case for me and I am only 5'3. I kind of wish I'd bought a medium instead... so maybe size up 2 sizes if you are going for a more oversized look. 11.9.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by beara88 beautiful & comfy This is one of my favorite sweaters. First of all the color is gorgeous. It looks a little shiny in the photo but it's not. Second the fabric is super soft and comfy. It keeps you warm. Every time I wear this sweater my kiddos and husband tell me how comfy I feel when they hug me:) The fit is true to size. I'm 5'4 and 120 lbs. I purchased a size medium and I like the fit. It looks great with jeans or grey jeans with moccasins. I've also worn it with skinny jeans and black suede high heels. It's of course dry clean only, like most sweaters, but totally worth it. I do have to worn that it looks a little lop sided but that's the look it's suppose to have. I give this sweater five stars:) 3.16.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by crowdedrooms Super cute, warm, and comfortable! Love this sweater! It is very comfortable and great for the winter. I layer mine because it is a bit big and loose around the neck area. I have the pink color, and it is gorgeous. I have gotten a lot of compliments on it. It is very well-made, and it isn't fuzzy at all which I love. It is still extremely soft and warm without the fuzz. 3.5.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by TaylorLeClaire11 Cute and Cozy I got this sweater in the teal color in a S and I love it. It has a few down falls but I really do like this sweater. The teal is a beautiful emerald color and it is a nice accent with any outift and can be dressed down or up. The length isnt bed for me. It hits directly at the hip and it is a fitted sweater (unlike on the model). It can be a bit itchy so I usally layer it which then leaves teal lint all over my shirts. Also, it is a bit bulky. I am 5'5" and 130 and 32 DD. 2.10.2013

Three charged in Dismas House burglaryBy Brent Curtis
Staff Writer | March 14,2013Three men, including two residents, have been charged with breaking into an office and stealing envelopes containing raffle proceeds at a transitional home for inmates in Rutland.
The Dismas House on Park Avenue exists to give incarcerated offenders ready to be released from jail a chance to live in a structured environment where they can prepare to reintegrate with society.
On Jan. 29, Rutland Police say two of those residents were involved in a burglary and theft of an unknown amount of money from a locked office in the house.
In an affidavit filed in Rutland criminal court, Officer Jon Dickerson said another resident at the home saw Cody Morrill and Edward J. Edwards — who were staying at the home at the time — and Shawn M. Ritchie, of Rutland, exiting the office with items in their hands.
All three men have been charged with a felony count each of burglary and misdemeanor charges of unlawful mischief and petty larceny. Ritchie, 39, pleaded innocent to the charges on Tuesday. Bail was set at $10,000 for Ritchie but was suspended to allow him to go to a drug treatment facility.
Edwards and Morrill were both returned to jail and are scheduled to appear for arraignment on Tuesday and Wednesday respectively.
While those charges are pending, the executive director of Dismas of Vt. Inc., Jan Tarjan, cautioned that members of her organization harbor doubts that Morrill and Edwards were involved in the incident.
"There was a witness who thought he saw some people who were residents but now we're not really sure," Tarjan said. "We're really just not sure and we're leaving it up to police."
In his affidavit, Dickerson said a resident in the home, Michael Tudor, was awoken at about 2:25 a.m. by the sound of people talking and making loud noises.
Tudor told police he went downstairs and was in the kitchen of the home when he saw Morrill, Edwards and Ritchie leaving the office. Ritchie appeared to be carrying an object, Tudor told police.
When staff investigated the scene the next morning, they found the door to the office damaged and evidence of unsuccessful attempts made to pry open a safe.
Missing from the office were an unknown number of envelopes containing either personal checks or cash mailed to the Dismas House for an upcoming Valentine's Day fundraiser, Dickerson wrote.
Eleven damaged personal checks written out for the raffle were later found near the intersection of State and Grove streets, Dickerson added.
Tarjan said the break-in forced her organization to postpone the raffle and prompted mailings to everyone who sent money for the tickets explaining the situation and asking anyone who paid in cash to let the organization know so they could be reimbursed with free tickets at a later raffle drawing.

Tuesday, August 21, 2012
Turns out Aug. 5 was national Sisters Dayand I missed it. (In my defense, it seems like theres a day for everything now. When can we expect Freaky Neighbor Day? Or Flaky Ex-Spouse Day?)
An online search revealed very little about Sisters Day. Apparently its the first Sunday in August. I dont know when it started, or why, but its not an official holiday like, say, Mothers Day or Take Your Dog to Work Day.
(August is also Admit You're Happy Month, Family Fun Month, Catfish Month, Eye Exam Month, Golf Month, Peach Month, Romance Awareness Month, Water Quality Month and, last but not least, Picnic Month. I can actually get behind Picnic Month. Im all about a jug of wine, a loaf of bread and thou beside me in the wilderness.)
Anyway, back to sister talk. The only one I have, Moonbeam, must be experienced to be believed. Now, ol Moon is not a bad egg. In fact, shes unique. I wish her well and I believe she returns the feeling. We simply have nothing, nada, zip, zero in common. (Another perspective: Widdle and I have been married almost seven years and hes never seen or spoken to her.)
Sis was 10 years old when I was born. We shared a bed for the next eight years, until she went off to college, became a philosophy major and began burning her boyfriends draft cards. She was a tree-hugger before tree-hugging was cool.
Moonbeam has always regarded me with a sort of benevolent disinterest. Wait, thats not fair. Shes interested in me when I am interested in healing crystals and long-distance emotional cleansing, which is to say very seldom.
Moonbeam is a holistic health practitioner. Thats marvelous if you think dandelion root can cure broken ribs, which I do not. But she has a thriving practice (her specialty is telephone healing) and a snappy Web site. She lives in a rambling old Victorian in Oregon and gets along just fine.
Aside from degrees in philosophy, religion and history, shes also a licensed massage therapist and can play several instruments. Shes 5 feet 9 inches, with auburn hair and green eyes. Men have traveled across continents to be with her. (Im 5 feet 2 inches, with brassy hair and gray eyes. Men have traveled across county lines to be with me.)
Moonbeam has studied in Scotland, Switzerland and Israel. Along the way she got married in a redwood forest and had a son, Ezra, whos now a Hollywood producer. For years I thought she named him after the Biblical prophet. Nope. Ezra Pound.
Ten years ago, Moon bought a female cocker spaniel puppy. It had insane orange eyes, and she named it Donatella Isabella. The dog immediately ate through a bathroom door and devoured several vials of organic healing oils. I dont know if she was healed, but Moon promptly found her a new home. This sticks in my mind because A) When you give a dog that kind of name, you should expect rebellion and B) She bought it on impulse and discarded it in a snit. Thats not how I roll.
Still, I visit her Web site occasionally to make sure shes still breathing. She is. She talks with my brother T-Bob every couple of years, and he tells her Im fine. I am.
The moral of the story is . if you have a sister you can relate to, mazel tov. If not, well, I know an emotional cleansing expert who can help you with that. By phone.

Up until November of this past year she enjoyed working as a cook at The Cliffside Restaurant, where she had many, many special friends and co-workers. Helen especially loved cooking for her family, where she showed how much she loved all of them in her own special way.

Services will be held at 1 p.m. Tuesday, February 5, at the Big Spring Missionary Baptist Church at Mallory with Rev. John Cain and Rev. Robert Morris officiating. Burial will follow in Forest Lawn Cemetery at Pecks Mill.
Visitation will be from 6-9 p.m. Monday at the Krantz-McNeely Funeral Home at Man and one hour prior to services Tuesday at the church.

text: MAC Red is described as a "vivid bright bluish-red [with a Satin finish]." It's a brightened, medium-dark blue-based red with a barely-there sheen. This shade is part of the permanent range. It had opaque color coverage, wore well for six hours and left behind a stain. It was slightly drying on me–I could feel it towards the tail end of the wear. MAC Glam is similar. Giorgio Armani Red Fuchsia is darker. NYX Chic Red is slightly darker. MAC Ronnie Red seems somewhat brighter. See comparison swatches.

What is breast cancer?
According to the American Cancer Society, "breast cancer is a malignant tumor that starts in the cells of the breast. A malignant tumor is a group of cancer cells that can grow into surrounding tissues or spread to distant areas of the body."
Who can get breast cancer?
Anyone – both males and females can get breast cancer.
What are the risk factors for breast cancer?
A risk factor is anything that affects your chance of getting a disease, such as cancer. Different cancers have different risk factors and below are some of the risk factors associated with breast cancer, according to the American Cancer Society.
Gender – being a woman automatically increases your risk
Aging – the older the person, the higher the risk
Genetics – higher risk if there is a family history of breast cancer
Personal history of breast cancer – women with cancer in one breast have a higher risk of developing cancer in the other breast of in another part of the same breast.
Race & Ethnicity – white women are slightly more likely to develop breast cancer than are African-American women, however African-American women are more likely to die of this cancer.
Dense breast tissue – women with denser breast tissue are at higher risk
Menstrual periods – women who have had more menstrual cycles (because they started early and/or went through menopause later) have slightly higher risk
Having children – women who have had no children or who had their first child after age 30 have a slightly higher breast cancer risk. Having many pregnancies and becoming pregnant at a young age reduce breast cancer risk.
Birth Control – using oral contraceptives will cause a slightly higher risk, however it seems to go back to normal over time once pills are stopped
Breastfeeding – slightly lowers risk, according to some studies
Alcohol – use of alcohol is linked to an increase risk of developing breast cancer
Being overweight or obese – after menopause, being overweight or obese increases breast cancer risk, however the link between being overweight and breast cancer is complex
Physical activity – studies have shown exercise reduces breast cancer risk
For more information on risk factors click here .
Can breast cancer be found early?

- AFTER AGE 40, women should have a breast exam by a health professional every year.

- The crystal structure of Nep1 reveals an extended SPOUT-class methyltransferase fold and a pre-organized SAM-binding site (2008)
- Ribosome biogenesis in eukaryotes requires the participation of a large number of ribosome assembly factors. The highly conserved eukaryotic nucleolar protein Nep1 has an essential but unknown function in 18S rRNA processing and ribosome biogenesis. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae the malfunction of a temperature-sensitive Nep1 protein (nep1-1ts) was suppressed by the addition of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM). This suggests the participation of Nep1 in a methyltransferase reaction during ribosome biogenesis. In addition, yeast Nep1 binds to a 6-nt RNA-binding motif also found in 18S rRNA and facilitates the incorporation of ribosomal protein Rps19 during the formation of pre-ribosomes. Here, we present the X-ray structure of the Nep1 homolog from the archaebacterium Methanocaldococcus jannaschii in its free form (2.2 Å resolution) and bound to the S-adenosylmethionine analog S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH, 2.15 Å resolution) and the antibiotic and general methyltransferase inhibitor sinefungin (2.25 Å resolution). The structure reveals a fold which is very similar to the conserved core fold of the SPOUT-class methyltransferases but contains a novel extension of this common core fold. SAH and sinefungin bind to Nep1 at a preformed binding site that is topologically equivalent to the cofactor-binding site in other SPOUT-class methyltransferases. Therefore, our structures together with previous genetic data suggest that Nep1 is a genuine rRNA methyltransferase.
- NMR and MD studies of the temperature-dependent dynamics of RNA YNMG-tetraloops (2008)
- In a combined NMR/MD study, the temperature-dependent changes in the conformation of two members of the RNA YNMG-tetraloop motif (cUUCGg and uCACGg) have been investigated at temperatures of 298, 317 and 325 K. The two members have considerable different thermal stability and biological functions. In order to address these differences, the combined NMR/MD study was performed. The large temperature range represents a challenge for both, NMR relaxation analysis (consistent choice of effective bond length and CSA parameter) and all-atom MD simulation with explicit solvent (necessity to rescale the temperature). A convincing agreement of experiment and theory is found. Employing a principle component analysis of the MD trajectories, the conformational distribution of both hairpins at various temperatures is investigated. The ground state conformation and dynamics of the two tetraloops are indeed found to be very similar. Furthermore, both systems are initially destabilized by a loss of the stacking interactions between the first and the third nucleobase in the loop region. While the global fold is still preserved, this initiation of unfolding is already observed at 317 K for the uCACGg hairpin but at a significantly higher temperature for the cUUCGg hairpin.

Friday, May 16, 2014
I know about Wedding Planners. They even made a movie about one of them.
Estate Planners help us put aside enough of what my mother used to call the wherewithal for our retirement.
One can also make early arrangements for ones final exit. Then too there are Excursion Planners, people who lay out trips for fun and/or business travel like going to Disney World, attending a convention, or taking side jaunts on shore while on a cruise stop.
But a Proposal Planner? Whoever heard of one of those?
Apparently Im one of the last to notice. Perhaps thats because its been 60 years since Jim proposed. One summers day he led me into my Atlanta backyard, took my hand, slipped a diamond on that finger and plied me with that much-dreamed-of four-word query. I flew into his arms, then flew through the house waving my left hand under my parents noses, then flew across the street to a good friends house to show her the ring and ask her to be part of the wedding. Then backtracked home to fly into Jims arms and say YES! all over again.
Will you please tell me who could have planned that scenario? I cant imagine anything more romantic even while skydiving, swimming with the dolphins, riding in a hot air balloon or gondola, taking out a full page newspaper ad or a treasure hunt, ending with the proposer on bended knee.
How about slipping the ring on her finger while she sleeps and wake her with champagne and strawberries? These are but a few Proposal Planner offerings.
I came across Proposal Planners in the national news recently and was amazed to discover this kind of business has been thriving for years. In a reprint of The New York Times article from 2011, Elaine Louie talked about different versions of this enterprise. One Sarah Pease, of Brilliant Event Planning in New York, expanded her wedding and party planning business to proposal planning when a friend asked for his ladys hand in marriage with a ring at the bottom of a Kentucky Fried Chicken bucket. She said it worked for that couple who are happily married but she thought there were better ways. Her charges even then were definitely better, beginning with $500 for devising a plan. Handling the whole operation could run to $12,000 plus fees for providing transportation and the site. Other like businesses across the country are called Heart Bandits, An Exclusive Engagement and The Yes Girls.
Im sure all these events are exciting and memorable, but somehow spur of the moment proposals with a bit of advance personal planning seem most appealing to me. I know that was true with my parents. Mom was a bank teller and dad and a friend came into the bank every Friday for weeks with their paychecks from the local steel mill. Dad kept talking about what a looker mom was and how hed just like to lean across the bank counter one time and give her one great big kiss. The friend of course, kept goading him until one afternoon dad did just that. Not satisfied with the delightful buss, he added, And one day were going to get married!
That was 86 years ago.
My dad it seems was ahead of his time. Theres probably little doubt that he was one of the first ever Pre-Proposal Planners!

Tips to deliver ROI from cloud computing
While cloud computing has always been a leading technology for cost savings, there are some measures decision-makers can take to enhance these benefits. Establishing a cloud with a robust and healthy return on investment, for example, will enable cloud users to cut costs and reallocate financial assets into other aspects of the company.
Although the cloud will have a major impact on the overall private sector, Peter Job, CEO at Intergence, believes the technology will hold specific importance for organization in Europe.
"However, you need to have good processes and methodology to get it right. My advice is to engage with partners who have the experience and don't be afraid to innovate. And remember, the end user will be the ultimate judge of the service," Job said. "Poor user experience leads to poor take up, which means that fewer businesses enjoy the productivity and cost-reduction benefits that cloud computing can bring."
Getting a positive return on investment will likely enhance the experience of using the cloud within businesses, and there are several ways to ensure a company can achieve these goals.
Developing a cloud with healthy ROI
In today's highly complex corporate landscape, analytics is the key to success. Jobs noted that decision-makers and IT departments need to understand how the cloud infrastructure and applications are performing, as well as the status of the overall user experience. If executives cannot visibly see these metrics, they will not resolve problems that are impairing savings.
Companies also need to have a robust service-level agreement to ensure the cloud continues meeting at least a minimum performance level, Job asserted. Creating an SLA that places responsibility on the vendor will ensure the provider does its utmost to guarantee the availability of high-quality clouds.
A separate Business Cloud9 report also highlighted the importance of creating a strong SLA, as many offerings will be generic and unable to deliver strong ROI otherwise. Decision-makers should be sure to take a holistic approach to the SLA so the contract covers multiple aspects of the cloud, not just performance and security.
As cloud computing becomes an increasingly important resource in the private sector, executives need to be sure their offerings provide healthy ROI, as cost savings is a mandatory function in the cloud during today's unpredictable economy.

The Bachelorette
Bachelor Pad's Kalon McMahon and Lindzi Cox Share Holiday Gift Guide
Kalon McMahon and Lindzi Cox are one of the cutest Bachelor Nation couples of all time, and we love that they're making the long-distance thing work. But it looks like they won't be so long-distance this Christmas! According to Kalon's most recent post at Givebones, he and Lindz are spending their first Christmas together as a couple. Cue the chorus of "Awwwww"s, you guys!
Thankfully, Kalon and Lindzi have already figured out the key to relationship longevity: a detailed Christmas list. Gift guides are basically like relationship insurance during the holiday season. Because — let's face it — the thought only counts for so much, and that first present exchange with a new significant other can be pretty awkward. That's why Kalon and Lindzi came up with a gift guide full of excellent "his and hers" suggestions for "the guy/girl that has everything… except for a rose, that is."
The best thing about the guide is that most of the suggested items are connected to worthy causes. Naturally, Kalon's pet project (pun totally intended), Givebones, made the list, which also includes TOMS slippers. For every pair you buy, TOMS gives a new pair of shoes to a child in need.
Kalon's list even includes a suggestion for the Jef Holm in your life: An electric skateboard! So if you have a spare $1,200 laying around, you know what to get for your favorite millionaire skater boy.

Meeting Notes 2011 05 03
The 159th Meeting of Noisebridge
Note-taker: Seth
Moderator: Rachel M
Introduction and Names
- What Noisebridge is about: "Noisebridge is a 501c3 nonprofit that provides a space for creation, collaboration, and learning about technology and creative projects. Noisebridge provides space, power tools, and infrastructure to help the public learn new skills and create cool things. Noisebridge continues to exist through and depends entirely on membership fees and donations. Our code of conduct is 'Be excellent to each other'."
- Round of introductions: What's your name, what do you do, and if you are new, how did you hear about Noisebridge? Start with the moderator and go left.
- A brief primer on consensus process: We agree and so should you! Only paid-up members can block consensus.
We have t-shirts and stickers! (Lots of them!)
Q. What are we going to do with them at Maker Faire?
A. Let's take all of them to the Faire and see if we can get rid of all of them there! The world of geekdom will descend upon Maker Faire before, during, and after the Faire.
Financial Report
Funds in bank: $13,871.86. This is a little bit low but it's the beginning of the month and we just paid rent, so it's not too bad.
Generally we now have $10,000 in the savings account and use about $5,000 as operating expenses, but we had to dip into the savings account to deal with the purchases of t-shirts and stickers. But we were able to restore that quickly.
Q. Can we invest money in a CD?
A. Actually, the t-shirts and stickers are a much better investment for Noisebridge right now. Interest rates are low but we get good returns in practice from shirts and stickers. We have made $1.10 in interest on our savings account.
Jared deposited $236 from the vending machine. Thanks!
Samsung is now manufacturing a Sidekick 4G running Android with a super great keyboard. Noisebridge isn't going to get one but the treasurer likes them a whole lot.
Membership Binder
- Read off any names from the binder for the past month.
- Anyone up for join this week should introduce themselves then leave the area in search of gifts (traditionally beer and a lime) for the rest of the group. The rest of the meeting should consense on whether they may join.
What's Going On at Noisebridge
One short sentence about each of the following:
This is the active list of events from the main page:
Not all events make it onto this calendar. Many events only make it to the Discussion or Announcements mailing lists, IRC or in person at Tuesday meetings. Best of all, Noisebridge is about people getting together at the space in San Francisco to do stuff. DO pay attention, as some events just arise organically from the bottom up!
Want to host your event at Noisebridge? We like seeing classes and talks on interesting things pertaining to various subjects of hacking. Most of all, we like seeing familiar faces. Please participate in the space and our weekly Tuesday meetings to see if we're the right audience for what you want to share before announcing a new event. Additionally, please see our events hosting page for suggestions on how to use Noisebridge for your event/class/workshop.

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) heavyweight Fabricio Werdum will be dressed to compete while providing commentary for the upcoming UFC 166 main event, a 265-pound title fight that pits reigning champion Cain Velasquez opposite ex-division titleholder Junior dos Santos.
No, it's not a triple-threat match.
But "Vai Cavalo" knows that anything can -- and usually does -- happen leading up to a major pay-per-view (PPV) event, and if misfortune should strike one of the UFC 166 headliners, who will bang it out on Oct. 19, 2013 at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, Werdum (via Sherdog.com) says he'll be ready and waiting.
"I have three functions in the UFC: I'm a fighter, but I'm also a UFC commentator for Latin America since I lived a long time in Spain and speak fluent Spanish. Due to this I am an ambassador for the UFC in Latin America, where I travel explaining how the sport works. Commentating helps me even more to know my enemies, because I cover their fights. As I result of having these occupations I will not compete at the ADCC. Actually, I have to prepare myself to fight on Oct. 19. Of course we do not want anything to happen to anyone, but it happens from time to time. Injuries occur, anything can happen. I have to be ready. I will be cageside to call the fight, with my fightwear underneath. I'm ready for anything -- just call me to take my blazer off and go in."

Canada is not exactly known for being a tropical country during winter and, therefore, it's not surprising that snowkiting is quite big over there. The Ocarina Kitesurf crew went for a session, filmed it and sent over the result. Check it out!
Life is a journey. Kiteboarding has taken us to the best spots on the planet and allowed us to get to know the local kiters from all corners of the globe. At the same time we have been able to delve into the technology behind the products that we use on a daily basis and catch a glimpse behind the scenes of the kite industry. There are many interesting characters behind the products and it became clear to us, that CORE is not only made up of a team from the Fehmarn Island but instead is made up of people from the world's beaches. Therefore we became a part of something much bigger.

In my last post I discussed the ongoing litigations between Apple and Samsung, specifically in relation to standards-essential patents.
It has now been announced that the EU Commission has launched a formal investigation into the 3G licensing practices of Samsung and the alleged contravention of the "irrevocable commitment it made to the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI)."
The Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property (TRIPS) requires signatory states to ensure that their national patent legislation obliges patent rights holders to license, on fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory terms (FRAND) their standard-essential patents.
Yet Samsung has asserted a standard-essential 3G patent against Apple, and as a result the Commission is investigating to ascertain whether this is an anti-competitive practice in contravention of Article 102 EU, which prevents the distortion of the common market by an abuse of an entity in a dominant position.
A notable feature of this investigation is that it was not (apparently, or at least publicly) requested by Apple, which is the usual sequence of events in circumstances such as these: the Commission is acting entirely on its own initiative.
The instigation of this investigation demonstrates to the commercial world that the mechanisms in place to protect the consumer and to further the aims of the EU Treaties in maintaining the single Community market really do have teeth. Whether Samsung will be bitten remains to be seen, although it is hard to see how it can be avoided.
As yet, Samsung has not commented on the news, and it remains to be seen if the parties even attempted to negotiate a licence in line with the FRAND obligations.
For the telecommunication industry, lawyers, patent attorneys and policy makers alike, this will be an interesting process to watch, and one which could have significant implications for FRAND, competition law and the plethora of patent litigation that is currently battering the telecommunications market.

Blepharitis facts
What is blepharitis?
Blepharitis is the medical term for inflammation of the eyelids. The word "blepharitis" is derived from the Greek word blepharos, which means "eyelid," and the Greek suffix itis, which denotes an "inflammation" in English. Inflammation is the process by which white blood cells and chemicals react to and protect us from foreign substances, injury, or infection. Signs of inflammation are swelling, redness, pain, warmth, and change in function. Blepharitis is an inflammation of the eyelids, causing red, irritated, itchy eyelids, and the formation of dandruff-like scales on the eyelashes. It is a common eye disorder with a wide variety of causes. It affects people of all ages. Although it may be uncomfortable, annoying, or unattractive, blepharitis is not contagious and does not cause permanent damage to eyesight. The condition can be difficult to manage, and it tends to recur. Another term for blepharitis is granulated eyelids. Angular blepharitis describes inflammation which primarily affects the outer corners of the eyelids.

The Willingham Theater will open for its first event on Saturday, Dec. 1.
The theater will show two screenings of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. to introduce Yadkin County to the newest addition to the Yadkin Cultural Arts Council.
The theater is the second and final phase of the arts council project. After six years of fundraising, planning and construction the theater is complete to provide the community a locale for theater, dance, musical performances and film.
"What we decided to do for the first year is break our use of the theater down into three distinct time periods," said John Willingham, Arts Council Board President. "The spring season will be a professional season of performances that we will bring in. It will include music, performance and dance."
Willingham said that the summer season will be focused on a children's theater camp which start last year. Children will study theater and its components throughout the month of July and the workshop will culminate with the children's performance in the theater at the end of the month.
"In the fall we want to have a community theater," Willingham said. "That's when we hope that those who have been in theater or want to be in theater will want to get involved and be in a show."
Willingham said that the community theater is still in its formative stages, and the arts council is waiting to hear from community members who might be interested in participating.
The theater will feature state of the art equipment from front to back. It is equipped with a 7.1 surround sound system, a control room that allows manipulation of the lights, sound and video from the back of the theater, the back wall features sound absorbent tile and all entryways are sound and light blocked.
"There are three curtains on the stage so stage hands can work on sets between scenes," Willingham said. "There are also side curtains that come down alongside the theater walls for certain types of sound control. These curtains are for performances like big bands where there is a whole lot of sound that needs to muffled a little bit. You've got a lot of ways to manage the sound in here to the best possible quality."
Willingham said that there are also 100 light fixtures throughout the theater. He says that theater staff will be able to configure a light package for any type of production and will also have a spotlight to follow performers on stage.
Behind the stage the theater offers a men's and women's dressing room equipped with showers. There are also prop rooms, storage rooms and a scene shop with a welding hook up. The stage has left and right entrance cavities that are sound and light locked so that performers can enter the stage without the audience being aware of them.
For movies the theater houses a 17 foot wide screen and Blu Ray technology. Willingham said that the arts council is working with a movie rental company that allows daily rentals of just about any film desired.
"We've learned you can get just about any movie you want with the exception of Disney movies. Disney doesn't let you rent their movies," Willingham said. "You pay a fee for one day and you can show at as many times as you want that one day. It's done through a movie rental company and it's just a Blu-Ray CD."
Willingham said that the arts council is working closely with the schools to see how they can accommodate drama classes. Drama teachers from all grade levels were invited out to tour the facility and brainstorm how the schools could participate in the use of the theater.
It is expected that many schools will be limited with their use of the facility because it only offers 193 seats.
"They generally have 300 to 500 parents and kids attending performances," Willingham said. "They will be thinking about how they can do performances here. In January we're hoping that Forbush and Starmount Middle Schools will be able to bring their drama classes here for a workshop with students from the North Carolina School of the Arts."
Willingham said phase two, "raise the curtain", for the theater cost $1.1 million. Phase one, "got brick?", which included the arts center, gallery, yard and artist studios cost $2.5 million coming to a total of $3.6 million for the entire arts facility.
Willingham said that all of the theater seats name plaques have been sold but the arts council is still offering sponsorship for the dressing rooms. Anyone who would like to participate can donate $250 and their name or business name will be featured on the dressing room.
Willingham said that he hopes to see the theater put to enough use that it is a profitable endeavor for the arts council.
"Theaters traditionally are real financial burdens," Willingham said. "They don't get used enough and so they sit there between performances and they are expensive. I think we can run this theater on a break even or better basis. That's what our goal is. At the end of the day we don't want to be pouring money into."
Performance Season
Ron Stacker Thompson, the chair for screenwriting at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, has taken on the role of artistic director. Thompson said that he was acquainted with John Willingham and Steven and Susan Lyons.
Thompson said that he had experience with theater prior to his work in film and the arts council asked him to come on board and help guide the board in programming for the new theater.
"It's a lovely little theater," Thompson said. "I was so impressed with that they are all trying to do. It's a major undertaking to try and start a theater where there has not really been one. I was impressed by the fact that the people here in Yadkinville have such spirit. They wanted to do something like this so that made me want to help them."
Thompson said that the theater's main goal for the spring season is to focus on bringing in professional performances in all the areas of the arts. There will be performances from the Old Timey Radio Show at the theater's opening gala, a performance by jazz singer Cle Thompson, a performance by bluegrass musicians the Kruger Brothers, a dance production presented by the UNCSA and a performance of Shakespeare by students from the UNCSA along with a film screening each month.
"Our goal is to be a professional theater in the community," Thompson said. "We're starting with bringing talents in that already exist. We will not be creating shows in the first spring season but the goal is to not only bring shows in but to create shows out of the theater and out of the people that live in the community."
Thompson said that his biggest hope for the theater is that Yadkin County will realize what its possibilities are and what it could mean for the community.
"I hope that people will recognize what a little jewelry this theater has the possibility of being in the community," Thompson said. "We want to bring magic in a way to young and old and people of all kinds of music and dance persuasions."

The quality of Neocolor II Aquarelle Artists' Crayons is universally acknowledged. Their excellent lightfastness, high pigment concentration, and adaptability to a variety of techniques have put them in a class of their own.
Neocolor II Crayons are softer than colored pencils, denser than children's wax crayons, and extremely responsive to a wet brush. Wet and dry techniques can be combined in the same drawing. Because of their strong pigmentation, light colors cover dark colors and
Neocolors are soft enough to smudge with your fingertips, yet much firmer than oil pastels. Scrape off one or more layers of color to create an engraved sgraffito effect. They can also be combined with Caran d'Ache Pablo Colored Pencils. Best of all, they're watersoluble.

Mid Georgia River Adventures LLC is providing a great outlet for kids (and the parents they drag along), who want to experience outdoor fun in the sun and spend a great day of socializing while gently seeing the world via the Ocmulgee River.
Bryan Charron, wife Tanyel, daughter Cheyenne, and brother Doug have innovated a way to organize for river outings to be as simple as showing up and letting them take care of the rest.
Providing inflatable river tubes, large and small, each with a life preserver (12 and under required according to Department of Natural Resources), or renting a kayak, plus transportation to a drop-off point and/or pickup point, Charron has alleviated the necessity of groups trying to park alongside a highway, then float down a river, while hoping to somehow get back to their car miles away without it having been towed or ticketed.
When you come to Juliette Park on the Jones County side, Charron will be there Saturdays and Sundays, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and then every weekday beginning June 9 through the summer. For those river tubing, you and your group of friends, or youth group, or just 47 of your newest friends, can get on the MGRA bus and sit back while Charron takes you up to a point on the Ocmulgee; a 4.5-mile floating dream. The event will take approximately two hours. The price per person is $12, and parking is free. Last launch is 3 p.m.
