Something that nearly all digital photos have in common—regardless of their camera of origin—is that they're in color. Although that's not necessarily a bad thing, it may seem counterintuitive, given the evolution of photography. Before digital replaced film as the photo medium of choice, color and monochrome shared the limelight. Today, if you want to channel your inner Ansel Adams with your own moody wide-angle vistas, specialty black-and-white apps are the path to achieving your monochromatic vision.
Hueless—iOS ($3)
Based on the reality that you do most of your shooting on the camera in your pocket, Curious Satellite's Hueless is built exclusively for the iPhone and designed for skilled hobbyists, with an emphasis on shooting high-resolution JPEGs and TIFFs. The app is easy to use and navigate, though perhaps not ideal for that superquick shot when there's just a few seconds between the train coming and your image of it emerging from the tunnel.
A button opens the interface to reveal several discrete controls that let you create presets, frame images, tap to focus, use composition rules, constrain dimension, adjust exposure and contrast, set geotags, and even apply colored filters for assorted monochrome looks. Despite its power and precision, don't look for Hueless to convert existing images from your camera roll into black and white. Instead, treat Hueless as a film camera loaded with black-and-white stock. Shoot with Hueless when you want black and white through and through—monochrome from start to finish—absent color reinterpretation.
Camera Noir—iOS ($2)
For the one-click joy of simply converting your iPhone's native color images to black and white, focus on Pacific Helm's Camera Noir. You can shoot original monochrome images through this app or retrofit older color photos. Shooting is intuitive via the camera icon, which lets you tap to focus, frame, and adjust exposure.
This minimalist app offers little in the way of controls, providing just low, medium, and high settings for exposure, plus crop marks and a level to assist in composition. While somewhat limited in functionality, the app is streamlined, quick, and easy to use. If you don't have the time or inclination to mess with settings, Camera Noir will rescue your shoot.
Dramatic Black & White—iOS ($1)
For high drama, you can rely on JixiPix's Dramatic Black & White for the iPhone or iPad. The app offers numerous settings, presets, and adjustments to fit the mood. Start with three levels of intensity: simple monochrome, high-key black and white, or infrared.
But that's just for starters. Within those categories, multiple presets can feature colored tones to impart unique flair. The adjustable spotlight tool centers the effect on the canvas, while the crop tool lets you fine-tune the picture using popular aspect ratios.
Want to get more granular? Dramatic Black & White is happy to oblige by letting you adjust the tone, brightness, and contrast with each setting. It even offers a slider for adding old-time film grain to your photos. Shoot with the app's camera, or import an image from your camera roll to give it the dramatic treatment—the results are uniformly stunning.
Simply B&W—iOS (free)
Like Camera Noir, Simply B&W lets you either shoot an original photo via the app or desaturate a previously captured color image. The app concentrates on borders and vignettes, on the theory that simple framing goes a long way in improving black-and-white images. True to form, its frames and vignettes are either black or white. However, the app also lets you adjust brightness, contrast, and grain to make your pictures sing.
This app, unlike some others, actually has a set of filters that apply red, green, blue, yellow, and orange filters. These are not tints, but filters, just like the ones you use on your camera lens or in your photo-editing program, and they have roughly the same effect. The really neat part is that each filter has a key, so you know how to best use it—and when not to use it—on your photo.
Photo Noir—iOS ($1)
Apptrio's Photo Noir lets you take control of specific aspects of your image. As with other apps, you can shoot through the app itself or you can import images from your camera roll and give them the monochromatic treatment.
Capable of working in portrait or landscape (with the app's icons rotating according to orientation), Photo Noir specializes in exposure, framing, and vignettes. Presets cover a broad spectrum of basics, but they aren't adjustable—all you can do is switch them on or off. How very black and white.
The simple interface makes the app a snap to use—without sliders or gestures, you just tap the buttons and see what happens. And if you are not pleased with the result, it takes only one tap to revert to the original and start again.
Noir Pro—iOS (free)
This simple app is surprisingly effective in giving you a range of black-and-white effects. You shoot directly through the camera and enable the Vignette size slider and Intensity options slider. Use just these two settings for a theatrical tableau—with flash on or off.
Along with the usual sharing options, you'll find the Postcard feature, in which you can use the photo to create a geniune postcard that Fuerte International will send to any destination. Just as with a regular postcard, you fill in a message and an address; you may also add an optional profile photo.
Black & White Master—iOS (free)
You can use Black & White Master both to shoot new pictures and to drain color from the images that are already in your camera roll, either in their original aspect ratio or in the trendy square format. Either way, the app lets you choose from a number of Instagram-like presets to easily apply the right monochromatic tone for your photo.
After you decide whether to reorient the shot, the app offers thumbnails of your picture with effects such as Bright, Contrast, Fog, and more. Once you tap one to preview it, you can slide your finger up and down on the screen to tweak the contrast, and slide left and right to adjust the brightness. The sliders disappear when you aren't using them—a neat design touch, sure, but that also makes them easy to miss.
A $2 in-app purchase offers access to ten additional effects, and the app lets you preview all of them before you decide to buy. This is a neat, easy app to use, with lots of variety even in the free version.
Black and White Camera Pro—Android (about $2)
Here's something you don't see every day: an honest-to-goodness black-and-white app for Android. With Appija's Black and White Camera Pro, you can shoot through the built-in camera (front or rear) or bring in older pictures from the Gallery to edit. A handy slider lets you dynamically adjust exposure and set tints in several colors.
The ad-supported free version offers the same functionality as the Pro version, but the ads are pretty annoying.
Retro Photo Camera—Android (free)
Dexati's Retro Photo Camera provides several stylized monochrome and sepia-toned choices, complete with borders. You can take pictures right in the app, or pull in older ones from your Gallery or even from your Facebook albums (a nice touch).
Once you take a shot or import your photo into the app, all you have to do is tap the B&W Photo or Retro Effect button to preview the results. This app has no controls, so if you're satisfied with the default—and thankfully, the defaults aren't bad—then you're good to go. With no cropping or adjustment tools, Retro Photo Camera is definitely not for tinkerers, but if you just want to desaturate a photo quickly, it's worth a try. A welcome addition would be an option to toggle the borders on and off.
The app also lets you create wallpaper from your photo. Frequently, a color photo serving as wallpaper looks too busy under a mess of colorful app icons and widgets, making your home screens hard to read. But the same photo turned to black and white can make excellent wallpaper.
Camera Magic Effects—Android (free)
Camera Magic Effects offers several layers of editing capabilities, and you can use them to shoot with the final black-and-white output in mind. Although it is not a pure black-and-white app, it does have several black-and-white filters. Shooting with the app lets you set up your image for desaturation later. White balance and scene modes provide the backdrop, and after completing your shot, you can apply filters such as Negative Effect, Gray Scale Image, Snow Effect, Sepia Effect, Engrave Effect, or Emboss Effect.
The free version is ad-supported, and while we didn't find the ads too intrusive, if you use this app a lot you'll probably want to shell out about $2 for the ad-free Pro version.

The capital city of India is a glorious concoction of the old and the new. Temples that are centuries old, archaic Muslim quarters, and modern residencies, all exist alongside each other. Home to over a crore people, Delhi is a treasure trove of historic gems, gardens, museums and a thriving food culture. Travel to the metropolis for the vibrant bazaars of Chandni Chowk that give way to Lutyens' New Delhi, which is the historic heart of the city. For an insight into the legacy of the Mughal era, go to the 16th century Humayun's Tomb, the towering sandstone mosque of Jama Masjid, and experience the sound and light show at Red Fort. Tourists can spend mornings at the extravagant Akshardham Temple and evenings at the Hazrat Nizam-ud-din Dargah (shrine) that boasts of sufi music and delicious kebabs. Another popular attraction of Delhi are its pulsating markets that sell everything from baubles to handicrafts, sell everything you can possibly think of. Those who have travelled to Delhi for its particular brand of food, will have a lot on their plates. From hole-in-the-wall eateries and local student cafes in North Delhi to lavish restaurants and bars in South Delhi, there is no dish or cuisine you won't find here. A huge incentive for travellers is the variety of public transport, wherein the Delhi Metro is the cheapest and easiest way to get around the city.

Home to the seventh wonder of the world, the Taj Mahal, Agra is best explored on foot or rickshaw or a rented bike. Renowned worldwide as not only a mausoleum but an epitome of love, the Taj Mahal is profusely crowded during the day till evening. If you're looking to escape the crowd, however, the city's Mughal beauty can be enjoyed from several rooftops and secret locations in the city, or at an early morning yoga session just 100 metres away from the monument. If you want to go further, why not go into the depths of its history through the light and sound shows and plays at the Kalakriti Cultural and Convention Centre. Agra annually hosts the 10-day festival, Taj Mahotsav, a rostrum for culture and colour in the month of February, known for celebrity performances, food stalls and a creative congregate of about 400 artisans across the country showcasing their exquisite art and craft items. Agra easily competes with Delhi's Mughlai monopoly with decade old restaurants such as Bilal Restaurant and Hyderabad Handi, while the Agra cant area houses local food. Speaking of local, Korai village remains a lesser known location, which can give you an entirely different experience and a chance to interact with villagers. Travelling through this beautiful necropolis, one can also enjoy quiet spots, wholesome with nature such as the Keertham Lake and the Sur Sarovar Bird Sanctuary, before signing off with a visit to the Agra Fort, I'timad-Ud-Daulah (also known as baby Taj), Chini Ka Raza and Akbar's Tomb, architectural tributes to Mughal history, admired above and beyond India.

Dehradun is easily one of the most popular hill stations in India. Though easily accessible by all modes of transportation, taking the road would be the best way to experience this heaven. The drive will take you through dense forests on the hilly road and if you're lucky, you might even see a wild elephant or leopard pass you by. The fresh and dewy hill air will infiltrate your lungs and put you in a great mood right away. In terms of things to see, there is Robber's Cave, a river cave formation and Sahashtradhara, which is also a stunning sight of nature consisting of sulphur springs. But more than its sights, Dehradun is the perfect place for a family getaway. After all it has everything that you could need for a relaxing holiday. The town has many vintage bookshops (Natraj Publishers, The English Book Depot), college campuses with hilly backdrops, architectural marvels (such as the Forest Research Institute), alleys filled with quaint restaurants, adventure sports gear shops and forest resorts and hotels to fit every budget. Vishranti, a resort tucked away discreetly in the Sal forests of the Doon valley, deserves a special mention for its beauty and luxury. The city is a haven for foodies as Dehradun offers a lot of variety and affordability in its cuisine. Restaurants and cafes such as Doon Darbar, renowned for devour-worthy Mughlai dishes and The Buffet for its mouthwatering burgers, cutlets and coffee, are popular options.

Located in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand, Nainital is one of the most beautiful hill stations in Northern India. The stunning Nainital lake is bang in the middle of the city and offers tourists stunning sunsets and enchanting sunrises. One legend says that Nainital derives its name from the Goddess Naina, whereas another legend claims that once when the Goddess Sati was being carried by Lord Shiva, her eye fell in the area. The lovely hill station promises a rejuvenating weekend break for those who are coming from the capital city and is definitely worth a visit. Like most hill stations, Nainital has a bustling mall road, warm cafes and a very busy Tibet market. The mall road houses shops selling candles with intricate designs, wooden knick knacks and colourful woollens. Do bring back some souvenirs as keepsakes! If you have time, do visit Sattal, Naukuchiatal (for paragliding and kayaking) as well as Ranikhet for its surreal beauty. If you are looking for a quiet, carefree holiday, visit between the months of January and April. It'll be cold, but there won't be any crowd.

A quick getaway destination for Delhi-NCR residents, Mussoorie or the 'Queen of Hills' is the most favoured place for anyone battling urban heat. It remains quite crowded from May to July, as popular hotels and hangouts such as Mall Road, Mussoorie Lake, Kempty Falls and Gun Hill remain pervaded with tourists no matter where or what you may set your eyes upon. But if you carry the spirit of an explorer within you, Mussoorie can surprise you in many ways. For instance, if you curious to check out where the man who Mt. Everest is named after, once lived, you can reach the house and laboratory through a picturesque 4 km walk from Library Bazaar or Gandhi Chowk. Ditch the customary visit to Kempty Falls and take an uplifting trek to the quiet, serene and crystal clear Jharipani Falls instead. Mussoorie, when mist free, provides frame-worthy views of the Himalayan ranges, which can be enjoyed at points such as Lal Tibba, Nag Tibba and Camel Back Road, all of which need to be trekked or walked to, with the effort being worthwhile. Devalsari, a village quietly burrowed 55 km away from Mussoorie, is the gateway to the Nag Tibba trek and a location perfect for seeing beautiful butterflies and birds in the heart of nature. For those curious to delve into Himalayan life, history, art, culture and spirituality, Soham Heritage and Art Centre gives exquisite displays of the former, through various artefacts. As for foodies, restaurants such as Neelam, Imperial Square, Meeting Point Cafe and Casa Mia bakery do justice to North Indian, European and Tibetan cuisines and also offer delicious cafe knick knacks and drinks.

This city has been a refuge for spiritual seekers long before The Beatles christened it with their visit in the 60's. Widely known as the pilgrimage town and also the 'yoga capital of the world', Rishikesh is home to myriad temples, yoga and meditation centres and a plethora of adventure activities. With an interesting backdrop of the rapid flowing Ganges river and iron-made suspension bridges (Laxman Jhula and Ram Jhula), the city has also been a popular hub for travellers and backpackers alike. When it comes to food and drinks, Rishikesh remains a strict teetotaller and a vegetarian, even though you might find with great exploratory skills, a few restaurants not adhering to the prohibition. Some great restaurants and cafes include Little Buddha Cafe where you can enjoy your meals in a treehouse-style ambience. Rishikesh provides a spectacular treat to the eyes and music to the ears during sunrise and sunset, as sadhus (priests), pilgrims and tourists all around, prepare for the routine 'Ganga Aarti' with temple bells resonating all around and innumerable diyas or small clay pot lit lamps dancing over the river Ganga to that reverberating music, as religious offerings. Rishikesh warmly welcomes thrill seekers, who can try out a number of activities such as white water rafting, bungee jumping, kayaking, zip lining, mountain biking and rappelling. The city also annually hosts the International Yoga Festival where yoga gurus, aficionados and devotees from around the globe throng the place (popularly the Parmarth Niketan Ashram) and give various lessons and lectures on yoga, meditation and spirituality.

An ancient holy town and the starting point for pilgrimages to the Kedarnath Temple and the Badrinath Temple, Haridwar is the first recipient of the mighty rapid and revered Ganges, originating from the Gangotri Glacier. Its vast mythological background, beautiful temples (Shanti Kunj Gayatri Parivar), spectacular festival celebrations and the world famous Kumbh Mela (hosted every 12 years) make it a popular destination to be visited from around the world. Haridwar comes alive during sunset, when the evening aarti (ritual of worship) starts at Har Ki Pauri, a ghat (steps leading to a river) and the main attraction of the town where both the Ganga banks are lit up with floating claypot candles and chants of devotees and priests resonate musically throughout the town. The religious city serves no alcohol anywhere and restaurants are strictly vegetarian too, some well known ones being, Big Ben Restaurant, Chotiwala and the Haveli Hari Ganga Restaurant.

Minipost: Vendoring vanity pet makes me feel sad
... the Imperial Silkworm.
Now when I open my Silkworm Cocoon I feel sad when I see yet another Imperial Silkworm in there. I vendored one and I felt so terrible that I haven't done it again. Poor little Silkworm, nobody to care about it!
I guess, one good thing, at least if I start on a new server, I can always pull one of these out and vendor them there for a 12 silver to get ahead. At least that I can live with, even if I have to look at their sad little face from the vendor as they go into the nether of unwanted vanity pets.
Too bad I can't keep some in my bags and set them to work so I could get a few more Imperial Silk.

I know! These are overflowing my bags, I have the max three and I don't know anyone who wants one. Poor little ubiquitous Silkworm!ReplyDeleteReplies
I can't bear to have them abandoned!Delete
I guess I should log in with Kamaleia on Dath'Remar and see if there's a dead silkworm in my mailbox, then :PReplyDeleteReplies
They really do have the worst faces for deletion. It's something about those eyebrows.ReplyDeleteReplies
I have only seen the silkworm once. I got impatient and bought mine on the auction house. Same with the moth, except I haven't seen one in a cocoon yet. It's very sad!ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh, please, take some!Delete
I managed to sell a couple in the AH - not for much though. Better than vendoring for sure.ReplyDeleteReplies
I still can't bear to do even that... I don't think I've sold any pets on AH.Delete

Now that's a good idea! I think I should do that.Delete
You know, Z only has two of them. A third would be greatly appreciated.ReplyDelete
WOW, so cool. I like it. thankyou .ReplyDelete
I've sold a couple on the AH and I gave one to some low level who had just started playing but I'm back up to three with at least 1 in the guild bank that no one seems to want to adopt :(ReplyDelete
I wish we could either release them into the wild (so that you can actually see them running around and visit) or maybe add them to our farms or something.
I've got a spare Moth looking for a good home too if anyone in the EU still needs.Replies
I don't know why I've never put mine on the AH. I guess it's because I'm not really a big AH person (ie I never make any money!) I also wish we could release them into the wild.Delete
This is a verys sad post indeed :(ReplyDeleteReplies
It's sad if I have to vendor them :(Delete
Omgosh Navi! Finally someone who understand me! (lol) My husband and guildmates are all "they're just pixels ya know", but I'm still sending mine off to be adopted... I just can't bring myself to vendor them. (Luckily I still know people who have free slots!) Now, if pet battles could just finish like real duels: the pet begs for mercy at the last minute and is cast as the looser, you win just the same... I hate killing them! :(ReplyDeleteReplies
Anou you are so spot on! I'm glad someone understands what I'm talking about! I just can't imagine any other pet that you vendor. I even feel bad for the winter helpers even though I have enough of those too!Delete

Silkworms remind me of my surplus zucchini/courgettes. Suddenly you have way too many and they look too good to just throw away or compost. You try giving them away to friends and family, but what happens after you saturate that market?ReplyDelete
I've heard of some people breaking into cars and leaving surplus veggies in the back seat!
I can imagine someone on trade "Send me your surplus Silkworms! Give me 1g and I guarantee I won't delete them! -Shady Acres Pet Home"Replies
But I would have a sneaking suspicion that they would just take them and vendor them themselves! I would need a guarantee or some sort of certificate saying "Certified humane adoption of vanity pets".Delete
I mail mine off too! Or at least auction them! I can't stand their cute little eyes "Y U LEAVE MEE"ReplyDelete
As a non-Tailor, I had no idea that this is where these pets even came from. Time to make a Tailoring friend on my server! :)ReplyDeleteReplies
I can't give these things away, because I'm pretty sure I have given them to everyone I know already!ReplyDeleteReplies
Making a blog post about it had the most excellent side effect - finding homes for all my baby silkworms :) that was an unexpected silver lining!Delete

A driver who killed a policeman in a hit and run collision made sick boasts about his crime in prison.
Garry Cody, 25, was today jailed for eight-and-a-half years at Kingston Crown Court for killing PC Andrew Duncan by running him down at 50mph in Reigate Avenue on September 20 last year.
Cody had been driving at almost 90mph when PC Duncan tried to stop him during a routine speed check operation.
Although Cody did brake, he struck the father-of-two from East Molesey at over 50mph, throwing him 35m through the air.
The impact snapped both PC Duncan's legs and left him with serious head, chest and abdominal injuries that he died from two days later.
Although Cody drove away from the scene, he handed himself in to police later that same day having phoned his dad to say "I've done it now, I've hit a copper".
Cody admitted causing death by dangerous driving but as he awaited sentence he was overheard boasting about his crimes by a prison officer at HMP Belmarsh.
The court heard that he said to guard Paul Dunne "do you know who I am? I'm on the news, I'm the one who ran the policeman over. I'm probably on telly all over the world."
The same prison guard also overheard Cody, who also goes by the name Gary Bromidge, tell a fellow inmate "it's on YouTube, copper brown bread. You see it on there, me and the car and the copper dead in the road".
The guard then saw Cody pretend to play an imaginary violin.
Cody even kept newspaper clippings from the time of the incident and would show them to his fellow inmates.
Before he sentenced Cody, Judge Nicholas Price QC had to fight back tears as he read from a statement by PC Duncan's widow that said: "Our for our house, travelling and our retirement are now things I will have to face alone.
"He was my world, we are truly devastated."
The court heard how Cody has amassed what the judge called a "staggering" 35 convictions for 88 offences.
Sentencing, Judge Price added: "I struggle to find anything of real benefit to be said on your behalf save from the fact you had the decency to admit your guilt. "
The judge also disqualified Cody from driving for six years.
Officer in the case Detective Chief Inspector John McFarlane said: "I think the length of the sentence reflects the severity of the incident.
"PC Duncan was an experienced officer who served the people of London for 23 years.
"He was actively involved in the community and gave a lot of his time to the scouting movement.
"He was carrying out a routine speed check when Cody, a young man with a dreadful record of reckless and criminal behaviour, hit him.
"We became aware Cody was claiming to be full of remorse, however his conduct within prison did not reflect that."

Yes…this chick went on a little shopping excursion yesterday. I finally made it out to the "Bargainista" shopping center. You know…the one with Marshalls, Ross, Old Navy, and Nordstrom Rack. I didn't make it to Nordstrom Rack…booooo!
This (left) is what I wore, but I think I look yuck…so I played with the pic a little bit. Anywhoodles…
I had been in the market for a simple black cross body handbag, but I didn't want to pay too much for one. Considering I go through handbags like crazy. This Nine West bag is perfect and it was only $22!
The shoes were a steal…the peep toe Madden Girl's were on clearance for $20 and the tan gladiator wedge was $14.99. I can't wait to wear them!
I also picked up two tee's on clearance at Old Navy. My work is never done!

Rosslyn Park blindside flanker Harry Rowland is happy to be in second place in National League One – for the time being.
After their 63-20 mauling of Tynedale on Saturday, where Ross Laidlaw, pictured below, kicked nine out of nine conversions, Park are in touch with leaders Ealing Trailfinders – who inflicted on Park their only defeat of the season so far.
With only the top team being promoted to the Championship, Rowland says it is vital Park stay on Ealing's tail, and the post-Christmas period will be all important.
The two giants meet in the final match before the Christmas break on December 22, but Park have seven equally tough games before then.
Rowland, a try scorer in the win over Tynedale, said: "It is sometimes easier to be chasing than to be chased and I can see Ealing slipping up after Christmas as the pressure from behind on top starts to tell. Everyone is out to get the scalp of the leader.
"We just need to make sure that after Christmas we make a big push. We have a big squad, which should play into our hands in terms of fitness. We need to make sure that we not only win our games, but we pick up the bonus points too.
"When Jersey were promoted last year, they put a run together in the new year after not having the greatest start. So I am not worried about Ealing at the moment."
Park were rarely in trouble against Tynedale, thanks to a brace of tries from Hugo Ellis and Nev Edwards, and tries from Jack Gash, Charlie Broughton, Rowland, Darrell Ball and Luke Campbell – alongside Laidlaw's majestic boot.
Rowland said: "When you have someone like Ross [Laidlaw] in your team, someone so consistent, it really lifts everyone. We're lucky, I'd rate him as our most valuable player right now in terms of consistency.
"He is very level-headed and can stop people running away with the excitement of playing well."
Park, who boast an unbeaten at home record, are on the road this weekend at London rivals Richmond – who took points of Ealing and third-placed Cinderford recently.
Rowland said: "It's going to be a tough derby, there are not many derbies that are not tough.
"Richmond might be in mid-table but they are not losing matches, in fact they have only lost twice in eight games.
"We'll need to be on our toes to get anything out of the game."

BREWER, Maine — Members of the Wellness Connection of Maine's medical marijuana dispensary in Brewer had a chance Friday to check out the improvements made to the facility over the past two months.
For starters, the facility's entrance was shifted to one end of its leased space, allowing the company to enclose it and to improve the facility's security, Becky DeKeuster, founder and director of community and education for Wellness Connections, said while leading a tour.
A new 15-by-20-foot addition at the back of the building provides space for meetings, seminars, yoga and cooking classes, and for alternative health treatments, such as massage and reiki, she said.
The changes to the facility, which opened in May 2012, were unveiled during a two-hour reception for members and staff.
To celebrate the improvements, the clinic brought in Mike and Tawni Boutin, two stars of the Discovery Channel's pot-centered reality show "Weed Country." Until recently, the Boutins grew medical marijuana on their farm in California. They have more than 35 years of experience in the field.
The fans they encountered in Brewer were delighted to meet them in person.
Among them was Shannon Thomas of Hermon, who took selfies with the Boutins and had a bystander snap a few more shots.
"I love the show. I think it's awesome, it's very informative," Thomas said after the photo session.
Thomas, who did not know the Boutins were appearing locally, said he initially thought Tawni Boutin looked familiar when they chatted near the entrance to the facility's retail area. When he also saw Mike Boutin, it clicked.
A medical marijuana card holder, Thomas said cannabis helped his 67-year-old grandfather maintain his appetite while he was battling cancer in the mid-1990s and his father asked him to obtain it for his grandfather because there was no legal means for doing so at the time. The fight for access to the healing weed continues today in some states, he noted.
"For anybody to deny someone a natural treatment is just, what word would I use, I just don't understand," he said Friday. "They want you to take this, they want you to take the drug, the big-bucks drugs, and they want you to keep on coming."
Wellness Connection of Maine operates four of the state's eight licensed nonprofit medical marijuana dispensaries, which combined serve 5,500 patients. The other locations are in Portland, Thomaston and Hallowell.
The Brewer Dirigo Drive medical marijuana clinic is the Bangor region's first and one of eight authorized in the state.
When it opened, Wellness Connections of Maine's Brewer facility had a 30-patient waiting list. It now serves 1,500 members from Penobscot and several surrounding counties, senior dispensary manager Paul Gervais said Friday.
The average patient at Wellness Connection is about 54 years old, DeKeuster said. She said the dispensaries offer the medicinal marijuana in numerous strains and a variety of forms for consumption: smokeable, cannabis butters, tinctures, baked goods and lozenges, as well as pipes, vaporizers and other means.
The Brewer facility and others operated by Wellness Connection of Maine are not open to the public. All patients must go through an intake process — to check documentation — when they first register.
The Boutins will appear at the Spectacular Event Center in Bangor from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday as part of Mike Boutin's "Do you wanna grow some?" tour, which aims to teach those considering growing medical marijuana the ins and outs of the business.
For information on tickets and what the seminar will cover, visit www.mikeboutin.com. The next stop on the tour is at the Holiday Inn Portland-By the Bay in Portland on Aug. 17.

Heidi Montag wrote another movie
While you'd just assume Heidi Montag spends 98% of her time waxing her jugs outside my bedroom window, it's more like 85% because she's apparently churning out screenplays like Stephen King on coke. Us Magazine reports:
"I'm writing a movie right now. It's very action packed," the bikini-clad reality star, 23, told UsMagazine.com Sunday at the opening of the Liquid Pool Lounge at Las Vegas' Aria Resort & Casino.
"It's Bourne-meets-Barbie," adds Montag, referring to Matt Damon's action flicks. Montag would would "of course" play the starring role.
"I've trained in knife fighting and guns for over two years with one of the founding members of Saw, [who] was [in] the original Delta Force. So I've been shooting and practicing the whole real-life action figure for years," she said. "So I'm very excited to have action roles."
I'm going to be completely honest with you: I would stab my grandmother in the neck just to read one of Heidi's screenplays. Mostly because I want to see this dialog happen:
This bomb needs not to explode so much, Heidi Bourne
who is like Matt Damon in that movie.
Help me point my boobs at my boobs
to make bomb stop with my boobs.
You're prettier than Lauren Conrad.

While Other Retailers Settled, Newegg Crushes Shopping Cart Patent Troll on Appeal
Shane McGlaun
January 28, 2013 10:06 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
"We basically took a look at this situation and said, this is bullshit." -- Newegg Chief Legal Officer Lee Cheng
Patent troll Soverain sued 50 different high-profile e-commerce websites over patent infringement (some big names like Amazon, Avon, and Victoria's Secret actually settled for millions with Soverain), alleging that it owned three patents pertaining to digital shopping carts. Early on, the case looked rocky for Newegg, an online technology products retailer, when the judge overseeing the case refused to allow Newegg to argue that the Soverain patent was invalid.
However, on appeal Newegg's legal team was able to trot out prior artwork to help get the patent case defeated. That prior artwork came from 1984 in the form of a magazine ad from CompuServe bragging about an electronic mall. The District Court judge had originally denied the invalidity argument because the judge said there wasn't "sufficient testimony" and that making the argument to the jury would be "very confusing" to them.
Soverain continued to argue that the system CompuServe used didn't include a "product identifier" as its patent defines. The patent troll also argued that CompuServe's system lacked a "shopping cart database." Those arguments didn't work for Soverain, as a three-judge panel decided that all of the shopping cart patent claims the company made were rendered obvious in the light of CompuServe Mall.
As a result, Soverain won't get the $2.5 million it hoped to snatch from Newegg's bank account. In addition, retailers in currently pending lawsuits will also likely be off the hook to feeding the troll.
Newegg chief legal officer Lee Cheng said in an interview with
Ars Technica
We basically took a look at this situation and said, this is bullshit. We saw that if we paid off this patent holder, we'd have to pay off every patent holder this same amount. This is the first case we took all the way to trial. And now, nobody has to pay Soverain jack squat for these patents.
Cheng also noted that Newegg decided to fight to the death over this lawsuit versus settling because the company is majority owned by its founder, Fred Chang. There are no shareholders to answer to, so Chang has the long-term prospects of his company in mind rather than short-term gains to temporarily help out the balance sheet.
In his parting words to
Ars Technica
, Cheng didn't have many good things to say about what he calls "submarine" trolls – those that lurk under the surface for years, and then hit unsuspecting companies for millions.
"Then they pop up and say 'Hello, surprise! Give us your money or we will shut you down!' Screw them. Seriously, screw them. You can quote me on that."

Get the facts about chewing tobacco and other forms of smokeless tobacco. They're more harmful and addictive than you might think.
You can call chewing tobacco by whatever name you want — smokeless tobacco, spit tobacco, chew, snuff, pinch or dip — but don't call it harmless. Whether you use chewing tobacco or other types of smokeless tobacco because you like it or because you think smokeless is a safe way to use tobacco, be forewarned — chewing tobacco can cause serious health problems.
Chewing tobacco is a common type of smokeless tobacco. Smokeless tobacco products consist of tobacco or a tobacco blend that's chewed, sucked on or sniffed, rather than smoked.
There are many types of smokeless tobacco products around the world. In the United States, the main types of smokeless tobacco are:
While the available evidence shows that smokeless tobacco may be less dangerous than cigarettes, long-term use of chewing tobacco and other smokeless tobacco products can cause serious health problems. There's no safe level of tobacco use.
That's because chewing tobacco and other smokeless tobacco products can contain about 30 cancer-causing substances. Like cigarettes, smokeless tobacco also contains nicotine, which can cause you to become addicted.
Here's a look at some of the health problems related to smokeless tobacco:
If you use chewing tobacco or other forms of smokeless tobacco, quit. And if you're trying to stop using cigarettes, don't switch to smokeless tobacco instead. Smokeless tobacco hasn't been shown to help you stop smoking, and you could end up using both cigarettes and smokeless tobacco.
To stop using any tobacco product, start by talking to your doctor. Or talk to a counselor from your state's quitline by calling 1-800-QUIT-NOW (800-784-8669). The National Cancer Institute also offers help at 877-44U-QUIT (877-448-7848).
Your doctor or counselor can guide you in creating a quit plan and choosing nicotine replacement products or medications to help ensure success.

I'm pretty sure Jimmy Hoffa is in there somewhere.
- The Heat edged out the Mavs to take game 3 of the NBA Finals. As you have probably heard, the team that wins Game 3 is 11-0 the past 11 seasons in winning the title, so you can probably go ahead and crown the Heat. Denny Green agrees.
- Titan Chris Johnson's new rap is off the hook. Literally.
- Fans gathered for a "rally" outside Jim Tressel's house in Ohio. They sang songs, they cheered, and they buried what little dignity they had left. Talk about pathetic… Can you imagine Kentucky fans throwing a rally for John Calipari if he got us put on probation? He'd be lucky to survive long enough to sell his house.

Betty On The Scene: London Fall 2012 Fashion Week!
We see Elisa Palomino, Teatum Jones, Assya, and more at London Fashion Week.
-Kathryn H. Cusimano
Cheerio, Bettys! I'm back at London Fashion Week again, and I'm thrilled to have plenty of great fashion news for you. I had the opportunity to check out a whole host of fabulous new designers, from Elisa Palomino to Teatum Jones.
I started my Saturday at London's imposing Freemasons' Hall, where the Vauxhall Fashion Scoutshowcase presented fresh talent. I had the pleasure of attending Elisa Palomino's runway show, which was an extraordinary sensory experience. Palomino's Autumn/Winter 2012 collection, entitled Crystal Flowers, inspired by Florine Stettheimer's book of the same name. Stettheimer hosted one of New York City's great salons in the 1920s and '30s, and played host to the likes of Marcel Duchamp and Georgia O'Keeffe. Models paced the hall in lush, elegant dresses as opera played overhead. Palomino presented flowing, floor-length gowns in velvet and chiffon, with bright floral prints and feather embellishments. The collection also included several dramatic headpieces, including large purple flowers. It was a collection Zelda Fitzgerald would have loved. In addition, Palomino created scents for her audience. I received Rendez-Vous, a deliciously spicy, sexy scent that made me want to don one of Palomino's gowns and launch a salon of my own – I wonder who I could invite?
I also had the chance to see a few of the other Vauxhall Fashion Scout designers. Dutch designer Myrza De Muynck presented sweet, quirky dresses and sweaters with delicate hand beading. She even showed a sweater made of terry cloth covered in elaborate beading, saying she loved mixing the intricate embellishments with the inexpensive, comfy fabric.
Christina Hamilton is another designer to watch. A trained saddler, Hamilton presented sumptuous equestrian-inspired handbags made with traditional saddlery techniques – a very authentic way to wear the equestrian trend.
I also fell in love with Charlotte Simpson's beautiful beaded dresses and jackets. Simpson told me her collection, "Biological Dimensions," was inspired by surface to volume ratios in internal biology. I was surprised to hear that her gorgeous collection found its roots in biology, but she wasn't the only designer to find inspiration in the sciences.

After seeing the offerings at Freemasons' Hall, I popped into the Exhibition at Somerset House, where I ran into Sara Ebbett, a favorite of mine from last season. Ebbett told me her new collection of scarves was inspired by a visit to Charles Darwin's house – bio-inspiration strikes again! Each lush scarf is adorned with beautiful plants and flowers, and dotted with "creepy crawlies" – bumblebees and beetles pop up among the flowers, but bugs have never looked this beautiful.
The Exhibition was chaos as always, but it was a wonderful opportunity to check out some great up-and-comers. Teatum Jones was a favorite of mine. Designers Catherine Teatum and Rob Jones showed beautiful pieces in dreamy digital prints inspired by Grimm's fairy tales and 1940s Hollywood crime scene photography – quite the combination! Justin Hawkes, a new shoe designer, was another standout, with arch-free shoes inspired by footprints in the sand. His delicate, modern shoes are definitely on my wish list. The North Circular's cozy creations also made my must-have list. The North Circular is a British company that produces eco-friendly wool accessories right here in the UK. There's nothing I wanted more than a North Circular scarf later that day, as the wind and rain nearly blew me into the Thames.
Of course, it isn't the Exhibition without extraordinary jewelry. I fell in love with Assya, a London-based jewelry company. This season, Assya's designers produced beautiful, modern baubles inspired by Studio 54. In addition to their core collection, Assya produced a 1920s-inspired collection called Gatsby. I hope you are all big fans of Fitzgerald, because Gatsby has been popping up on everyone's lips, and it looks like the Roaring '20s revival is here to stay. You won't hear any complaints from me! I was also blown over by Mawi's opulent costume jewelry – from chunky faux-emerald earrings to sparkly panther pendants, Mawi pieces are meant to make you the center of attention. Last but not least, I must mention Renaissance Life, a Swedish jewelry company that produces whimsical, sweet pieces pendants, rings, and more. My favorite piece is a heart-shaped pendant that contains a box big enough to hold a short message. It is certainly the most romantic necklace I've ever seen – I hope my other half is taking notes!
As always, London Fashion Week has been a whirlwind, but this year, I didn't go home empty-handed. Topshop is celebrating its decade-long partnership with NEWGEN by releasing limited-edition t-shirts designed by NEWGEN recipients, and I was lucky enough to snag one. What do you think of my new Mary Katrantzou top? I can't wait to wear it!
Well, that's it for me this season.
Tell us: which London Fashion Week designers are your faves? Let us know!

The Shoshaha hat and scarf are only available as a set.
The Shoshana hat/scarf set is a quick way to get some stylish warmth in the winter time. Knit with bulky yarn, the lace lozenge pattern is both fun and fast to knit. Some fringe lends fun to the finished scarf, and the diminishing lozenges on the hat add an unexpected touch.
The well-spun single ply of Berkshire Bulky yarn produces a lovely shine to the fabric of the scarf, and the price is just right for post-holiday restraint. Should you desire to use another bulky yarn, you will need 594yds/545m.

AN ELDERLY man died in a house fire in Poole yesterday.
The emergency services were called to the blaze in Pearce Avenue, Lower Parkstone, at around 2pm and it was later confirmed that there was a body inside the home.
The victim has been named locally as 77-year-old Graham Cox although no formal identification has been carried out yet.
Yesterday, the house was not considered safe enough for the body to be recovered.
Inspector Ian Jarred said police and fire investigators were working to establish the circumstances surrounding the fire, along with its cause.
Crime scene investigators and Dorset Fire investigators attended.
In all, seven fire appliances were sent to the scene, along with a number of paramedics.
Inspector Jarred, speaking at the scene at around 4pm yesterday, said: "We are not treating it as suspicious, but we are trying to find out how the fire has been caused."
Dorset Police contractors working nearby noticed flames coming out of the property.
"They attempted to force an entry, but were forced back by the flames," a force spokesman added.
Chris Baker, who lives opposite, said: "I came upstairs and saw a thick yellow smoke coming from the roof. The wind was blowing out towards the harbour, taking it away from the properties.
"There were flames coming out the roof and the firefighters were having to bash through it with some on ladders.
"The whole road was cordoned off. I've never seen so many emergency services vehicles. There must be about 25 with police, fire and ambulance.
"The property next door had to have the roof sprayed with something so it wasn't damaged."
Police cordoned off the road, sealing it at the junctions with Elms Avenue and Sandbanks Road.
The fire was thought to have started in an upper floor.
Neighbour Linda Wood said: "The house is two along from the yacht club, but I don't know the people who live there. I've got builders at my house at the moment and I spoke to them on the phone and they told me it was chaos down here."
Another neighbour, who asked not to be named, said: "I think an elderly couple lived at the property and they kept themselves to themselves pretty much."
The cordon around the property was last night still in place and police confirmed it would remain well into today.

It looks like Dropbox has deceived users about the security and encryption of its services in order to give them a boost. The FTC complaint filed against Dropbox for telling users that their files were completely encrypted and that Dropbox employees could not see the contents of the file. Contrary to what Dropbox was saying, Christopher Sohoian, a PhD student published data last month showing that Dropbox could see the contents of the files, putting users at risk of government searches, nosy Dropbox employees, and companies looking to slam individuals with copyright infringement issues.

Breast milk donors needed in Fraser Health region
Donating breast milk can save a baby's life, and the Fraser Health Authority is appealing to breast-feeding women with surplus milk to donate it to the breast milk depot at the Chilliwack Public Health Unit.
"It's the ultimate Christmas gift," Sidney Harper, lead nurse of the FHA's Baby Friendly Initiative program, said Wednesday.
There are some 17,000 babies born in the Fraser Health region every year, she said, and sometimes mothers can't produce enough breast milk, or for medical reasons some infants may need donated breast milk.
"Rather than offer an artificial formula, we'd rather give them pasteurized donor milk," Harper said.
The challenge is keeping BC Women's bank well-supplied.
"The more donors we can get in our community," Harper said, "the greater our chances of getting pasteurized milk back to our hospital."
Breast milk contains antibodies that fight infection, and growth hormones which help babies grow and develop.
The World Health Organization's Baby Friendly Initiative aims to encourage the practice of breast feeding.
Harper said many women want to breast feed, but may not get the societal support they need or find they are unable to produce enough of their own breast milk.
Fraser Health officials wanted to help those women and their babies, so decided to set up join the Baby Friendly Initiative and set up breast milk donor "depots" across the region.
"Artificial formula is never as good as breast milk," Harper said, because it is naturally designed to nourish human babies without upsetting their delicate digestive and immune systems.
Donors are pre-screened and the donated breast milk is pasteurized and given to babies on a doctor's prescription, with priority going to the neediest.
To donate, or for more information call 604-875-2282.
Other milk bank depots in the region are located at the Abbotsford Public Health Unit, Maple Ridge Public Health Unit, Surrey Memorial Hospital and the Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster.
For more general information about milk banks go online to the BC Women's Milk Bank and the WHO's Baby Friendly website.

Telly Savalas
Name at birth: Aristotle Savalas
Telly Savalas is best remembered as TV's Kojak. The show ran from 1973-78; Kojak was a loose and tough-talking New York police detective known for his shiny bald head, lollipops, and signature line, "Who loves ya', baby?" The show made Savalas a '70s superstar after years of scattered parts on TV and film (including the role of Blofeld in the 1969 James Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service). After Kojak, Savalas thrived as an unofficial spokesman for open collars, gold chains and the Vegas style, baby -- most notably through his TV ads for the Players Club travel card. He continued to play Kojak in a series of TV movies throughout the 1980s. His feature films include The Birdman of Alcatraz (1962, with Burt Lancaster), the war movies The Dirty Dozen (1967, with Savalas as the crude killer Maggott) and Kelly's Heroes (1970, with Clint Eastwood), and Cannonball Run II (1984).
Some sources list his birth year as 1924. Who2 confirmed a birth date of 21 January 1922 through a 2009 correspondence with CMG Worldwide, which licenses the Telly Savalas name and image for his estate… His brother George Savalas also played a detective in Kojak… Telly was godfather to actress Jennifer Aniston, the daughter of his friend and fellow Greek actor John Aniston.

Are you going through a hard time with your spouse and looking for a cheap way to divorce, but don't know the best alternative available in Fresno, California, 93722? Do not worry, we are here to help you to make the process as easy and cheap as possible. The best and most cost-effective way is to use an online divorce service – that way you don't need an attorney.
Divorce in CA without an attorney
There are numerous online divorce websites; therefore, it requires the provision of outstandingly excellent services to stand out from the others. Although this is not easy, MyDivorcePapers.com has managed to rise from the crowd and for this reason, we have ranked it as the number one site for completion and submission of divorce papers. After a thorough review, we came to the conclusion that MyDivorcePapers.com offers close to flawless services.
This dynamic website was set up in 2002 and since then it has served over a million divorces. It has enabled its clientele to easily and freely file for divorces without the need for an attorney. Impressively, this site has achieved this while maintaining a Better Business Bureau rating of A+, which is the highest possible.
It is quite similar to DivorceWriter.com as it offers free registration and qualification of up-to-date divorce forms. Additionally, it also features a step by step guidance that helps users to fill out forms appropriately. Furthermore, it also compiles all the answers into a print-ready downloadable form. This is to convenience users who choose to file for divorce through the local circuit court.
Another huge point is that filing for divorce in California without an attorney is not a problem, because they serve all 50 states plus the District of Columbia, and also some support outside the US.
What distinguishes MyDivorcePapers.com from other similar websites?
This website is the one we are particularly impressed with because it goes far beyond offering users the basic do-it-yourself divorce process. It provides other beneficial services to make the divorce process less tedious. It has some services that make it superior to competing websites such as DivorceWriter.com, CompleteCase.com, and 3StepDivorce.com.
One service that makes this site stand out is the provision of an actual case manager for each divorce petitioner. This case manager is an easily reachable professional who the petitioner can contact directly either by calling or email. Most importantly the website doesn't charge any additional cost for this service; it is included in the website package price of just $159.
Another beneficial service that this site offers is the preparation of legal forms to formalize online divorces, legal separation, and annulments.
What more is that this is the only website that not only helps you file your divorce papers but also serves your spouse. In our opinion, this is a big plus because no other site is offering such a service!
Additionally, many reputable attorneys recommend MyDivorcePapers.com because they recognize and acknowledge that this site offers accurate, up-to-date information, closely supervises the entire process, and is also upfront about informing users that do-it-yourself divorce is not for everyone.
Our review may seem like a mere claim, but a factor that heavily contributed to this glowing recommendation is the fact that this divorce site has an overwhelming number of excellent reviews on both the eKomi Feedbacks loop and on the Certified Comments Feedback loop. Nothing indicates excellence like real testimonials from satisfied customers.
MyDivorcePapers.com informs users that the services it offers are especially suitable for low or no-conflict divorces where the spouses can communicate amicably and reach a peaceful agreement concerning the division of marital assets as well as child custody.
Apart from all these outstanding services, MyDivorcePapers.com also maintains an extensive video library that details the divorce papers. These videos come in handy in helping users have a vivid understanding of the entire divorce process.
This review would be incomplete without looking at what people are saying about MyDivorcePapers.com on social media. After all, the great reviews on social media are more telling than the reviews written by people who follow the site. This site boasts of a Facebook fan page that has likes exceeding 20,000, and these likes are growing on a daily basis! If you are looking for a divorce site that can help make the divorce process a breeze, without the hassle and costs of using a lawyer, then this website is the best option for you.
In conclusion
MyDivorcePapers.com provides users support that goes beyond basic automated assistance; it offers additional services that make the divorce process less complicated and shows you step-by-step how to file for divorce in California without a lawyer.

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Ordered a sample in the yellow. Paper quality is great. Paper is a little crinkly (ordered the basic paper) which I like. Paper stands up well. Love the colors. The website mock up is pretty darn close to the actual colors which is great!!"
"In agonizing over how to address placards, it became obvious due to the size that one per person was necessary and I hadn't ordered enough. Re ordered and recd in time for my wedding!"
"This is such a beautiful design! The paper is very sturdy and stands up well on its own, and both the color of the paper itself and the color of the leaves in the design are rich and very pretty. I requested for the designer to slightly change the format of the placecard (we are writing names instead of table numbers on them) and they did exactly what I asked for. I would highly recommend this product to anyone!"
"These place cards are PERFECT and 100% what I was looking for! They look amazing in person and I was able to pick three colors of the star fish for our three different dinner options. The best part was the customer service that I received when ordering. The process was easy and stress-free. THANK YOU!"
"I requested the table line to be omitted as we only had one table, and it was done immediately. They also caught that I hadn't selected the pearl shimmer paper to match our menus. Great customer service!!"

A MAN who torched a treasured Blandford chapel has been jailed for three-and-a-half years.
John James Groom Sennett, aged 26, was sentenced at Dorchester Crown Court for what a judge described as an 'appallingly insensitive' crime.
Mark Ruffell, prosecuting, told the court that firefighters were called to the chapel at the town's cemetery early on the morning of Sunday, September 15 last year and found a fire.
Examination of the scene revealed two broken windows where someone had entered and exited the chapel, which had been locked on the Friday night.
Also discovered were at least three areas where fires had been lit, including a lectern and a bible that had been set alight, and it appeared an accelerant had been used in places.
That morning attempted thefts of fuel from vehicles were also discovered at two locations in the town.
Blood found in the chapel and at the scene of the two attempted fuel thefts were found to match that of the defendant.
Sennett, of Castleman-Smith Close, Blandford, admitted the attempted thefts at his first appearance at court but initially denied the arson before changing his plea on the day he was due to stand trial.
The court was told he had 35 previous convictions for 69 offences.
The chapel that was damaged in the arson attack dates back to 1855 and was regularly used for services and funerals.
Mr Ruffell said the value of the damage was estimated at around £33,000 and the chapel had been closed since the incident.
He said: "This attack has been felt by the community in Blandford."
Mr Ruffell said Blandford town clerk Linda Scott-Giles had described how town council staff responsible for the site were left 'speechless' and 'emotional' when they learned of the offence. Tom Horder, representing Sennett, said his client was genuinely sorry for the upset his actions had caused.
He said: "I hope the court can accept that this defendant now fully understands the seriousness of his actions and also the consequences.
"The consequences not just in terms of the physical damage, but the understandable feelings of outrage felt by those who know and use this chapel."
Judge Roger Jarvis told the defendant: "Those actions that you took were appallingly insensitive to the feelings of very many people."

Lone Star State History Comes to Life at Texas State Parks
AUSTIN – As autumn arrives and leaves begin to turn, the colorful and unique story of Texas – from its prehistoric times through, Spanish colonialism, the republic's fight for independence from Mexico, post-Civil War era and into the 20th century – unfolds through guided tours and special events at more than 50 historic sites within the state parks system. And, there's no better time to experience that history than October.
October is Texas Archeology Month, which celebrates the state's archeological heritage through demonstrations, lectures and dozens of public events held at historic sites throughout the state, including a number of Texas State Parks. Those state parks feature not only some of the best Native American pictographs in the nation at such places as Big Bend Ranch State Park, which on Oct. 12 is hosting a guided hike to one of the Big Bend region's best rock art panels, but also compelling presentations on archeology (Lockhart , Oct. 5), flintknapping (Copper Breaks, Oct. 5) and 19th century pioneer and ranching life (Caprock Canyons, Oct. 19).
On Oct. 4, Houston area families, friends, veterans and others can play air/sea/land games aboard the historic Battleship TEXAS. Others who prefer a more literal "taste" of living history in the outdoors can experience a slice of early Texas farm life at such historic sites as Washington-on-the-Brazos State Historic Site's Barrington Farm, Lyndon B. Johnson State Park's Sauer-Beckman Farm and Cedar Hill State Park's Penn Farm.
Many state parks and historic sites this month also offer guided tours of 19th century missions, military frontier forts and Civilian Conservation Corps structures or host special history events reflecting such topics as state's ranching heritage. On Oct. 19, Hill Country State Natural Area near Bandera will host its annual Ranch Heritage Day and Copper Breaks State Park near Quanah invite the public to "Meet the Longhorns," member of the official State Longhorn Herd.
For a full list of featured October state park events and their locations, visit the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's activities calendar.
The Texas State Park system continues to benefit from the hard and skilled work of the Civilian Conservation Corps crews that developed dozens of state parks and historic sites throughout the state in the Depression years of the 1930s and 1940s. See some of their lasting craftsmanship and enduring structures at Bastrop State Park, Longhorn Cavern, Indian Lodge, Palo Duro Canyon and 25 other TPWD sites.
To view interactive, online CCC exhibits, visit the Civilian Conservation Corps page that includes the interactive online exhibits and education resource, "The Look of Nature: Designing Texas State Parks during the Great Depression" and "A New Deal for Texas Parks."

The aivika package
Aivika is a small simulation library that covers many paradigms. It allows integrating a system of ordinary differential equations. Also it can be applied to the Discrete Event Simulation. It supports the event-oriented, process-oriented and activity-oriented paradigms. Aivika also supports the Agent-based Modeling. Finally, it can be applied to System Dynamics.
It is possible due to using a very general approach when the basic modeling entity is just a function of simulation time. The paradigms are mainly distinguished by sets of the functions that are used to model the activities. These sets are small and do not pretend to be comprehensive. Aivika is mostly a proof-of-concept project rather than a big library that knows everything.
The library widely uses monads. The dynamic system is represented as a computation in the Dynamics monad. There is also the Process monad to represent the discontinuous processes which can suspend at any time and then resume later. There is also the Simulation monad that represents a simulation run, in which scope the previous two monads exist. Almost everything is expressed through these monads, including the event handlers, agent handlers and even integrals except for the parameters and statistics that already use the IO monad.
The PDF documentation is available at https://github.com/dsorokin/aivika/blob/master/doc/aivika.pdf. Please note that the documentation is outdated and it corresponds to version 0.2 but it can still be helpful.
Also please look at other two my packages http://hackage.haskell.org/package/aivika-experiment and http://hackage.haskell.org/package/aivika-experiment-chart that complement the Aivika library.
