Historical Timeline
The Indianapolis Motor Speedway is an American icon and the world's greatest racecourse. With more than 250,000 permanent seats, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is also the world's largest seating facility.
Since its opening, the Speedway has been a proving ground for automobiles and an important factor in the development of the present-day automobile. The Speedway also has been the scene of 93 Indianapolis 500 Mile Races, 16 Brickyard 400 NASCAR events, eight United States Grand Prix Formula One events and twoRed Bull Indianapolis GP MotoGP races, playing host to some of the biggest names in racing history.
Below is a chronological timeline of some of the many highlights in the Speedway's rich 101-year history.
1909: The founders, Carl G. Fisher, James A. Allison, Arthur C. Newby and Frank H. Wheeler, pooled their ideas and resources to build the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, which would become the world's greatest racecourse. Fisher's vision was to build an automobile testing ground to support Indiana's growing automotive industry.
June 5, 1909: The first competitive event to take place at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway was actually a gas-filled balloon race. In the handicap division, Dr. Goethe Link and Russ Irvin's "Indianapolis" won. John Berry and Paul McCullough won the National Championship race with the "University City."
Aug. 14, 1909: The first motorized races - using motorcycles - took place on the recently completed IMS oval, which had a racing surface composed of crushed stone sprayed with tar. A.G. Chapple won the first race, a five-mile handicapped race with seven competitors, on an Indian motorcycle. The two-day event was originally scheduled to begin on Friday, Aug. 13 but was rained out. Because competitors would not compete on Sundays in that era, the final day of competition was rescheduled for Monday the 16th, but the day's activities were canceled due to track surface conditions.
Aug. 19, 1909: The Speedway opened for three days of auto racing, the first automobile races in track history. The first auto race was a two-lap, 5-mile standing start "dash" won by Louis Schwitzer. Accidents in the initial events, however, convinced the management that a paved surface was necessary for the safety of drivers.
Late 1909: In a span of 63 days, 3.2 million paving bricks, each weighing 9.5 pounds, were laid on top of the crushed rock and tar surface to upgrade the Speedway. The job was completed in time for another series of races scheduled for Dec. 18, but sub-freezing weather forced cancellation of the event.
1910: Various racing programs took place at the Speedway during May, July and September of 1910. The Speedway became one of the only racetracks to have permanent garages, located inside of Turn 1. The Speedway also played a role in the early history of flight by playing host to the first National Aviation Meet on June 13-18.
May 30, 1911: The first Indianapolis 500-Mile Race, initially named the "International Sweepstakes," was won by Ray Harroun at an average speed of 74.602 mph. Except during America's involvement in World Wars I and II, the Indianapolis 500 has been an annual event ever since. Many historians believe that this race marked the first use of a pace car to start a race. It is also believed that Harroun's Marmon "Wasp" was the first automobile to use a rearview mirror.
1912: The Indianapolis 500 became the highest paying sporting event in the world when Carl Fisher increased the total purse to $50,000 and first prize to $20,000.
1913: A four-tier tower of the Japanese pagoda design was erected. It was razed using fire in 1925 to make way for a larger Pagoda of similar design.
1920: The four-lap qualification format was introduced. Driver Art Klein was the first to post a "time trial" under this format.
1923: Tommy Milton became the first driver to win the Indianapolis 500 two times (his first win was in 1921). With the exception of one car, this was also the first time the entire field used single-seat cars during the "500."
1925: Peter DePaolo won the Indianapolis 500 and became the first driver to average faster than 100 mph. It was also the first time substantial radio broadcasts took place at the track - WFBM of Indianapolis and WGN from Chicago.
1926: The original Pagoda, which was razed with fire after the 1925 Indianapolis 500, was replaced with a similar yet slightly larger version in time for the 1926 race. As speeds increased, officials felt the original Pagoda was built too close to the track, and thus the new Pagoda was built considerably further back from the main straightaway.
1927: Captain Eddie Rickenbacker and his associates purchased the Speedway for $750,000.
1929: A golf course was added to the Speedway's landscape. Today's Brickyard Crossing Golf Course sits on the same land outside the oval backstretch and inside the oval's infield.
1935: The Indianapolis Motor Speedway was the first track in the world to install safety-warning lights. Also in 1935, helmet use became mandatory at the Speedway, a first for motor racing worldwide.
1936: Louis Meyer became the first driver to win three Indianapolis 500-Mile Races. He also requested a bottle of buttermilk in Victory Lane, creating the inspiration for the winner to drink milk, an annual tradition since 1956. Before the race, patches of asphalt had been applied to the rougher portions of the bricks in the turns.
1937: All turns were resurfaced with asphalt before the race, and magnaflux inspection of key safety-related metal parts was made mandatory.
1938: Asphalt was laid on the entire surface except the middle section of both straightaways.
1939: The entire track, except the middle portion of the main straightaway, was resurfaced with asphalt.
1940: Wilbur Shaw became the first driver to win back-to-back Indianapolis 500-Mile Races. Only four other drivers have accomplished this feat: Mauri Rose (1947-48), Bill Vukovich (1953-54), Al Unser (1970-71) and Helio Castroneves (2001-02).
Nov. 14, 1945: Tony Hulman of Terre Haute, Ind., obtained control of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, purchasing it from Eddie Rickenbacker for $750,000. Hulman would help elevate the Indianapolis 500 and the month of May to a new level. Wilbur Shaw was named president and general manager. Shaw would later popularize the tradition of announcing, "Gentlemen, Start Your Engines" in the early 1950s.
Mid-to-late 1940s: The facilities were in deplorable condition after four years of deterioration during World War II, so a long-range program of improvements was launched immediately. The old wooden grandstands were replaced with steel and concrete structures as rapidly as possible in following years.
1949: Television cameras made their first appearance at the track on the morning of the 1949 race. WFBM Channel 6 went on the air with a documentary about the race entitled "The Crucible of Speed" and then televised the entire Indianapolis 500 live. This marked the first-ever television broadcast in the city of Indianapolis. One of the cameras was positioned on top of the first double-decker grandstand in Turn 1.
1954: Tony Hulman became the president of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway after the tragic death of Wilbur Shaw in a plane crash on Oct. 30, 1954.
1956: The first Hall of Fame Museum/office building at the main entrance to the grounds was completed.
1957: A new Master Race Control Tower (replacing the 1926 Pagoda), Tower Terrace and Pit Area were built for the 1957 Indianapolis 500 - along with a new tunnel under the backstretch. Other improvements followed quickly.
1961: A.J. Foyt earned the first of his four Indianapolis 500 victories after he took the lead from Eddie Sachs on Lap 197. In October, the remaining bricks on the front straightaway were covered with asphalt. A 36-inch strip of the original bricks ("Yard of Bricks") was kept intact at the start/finish line, where it remains today.
1965: The Indianapolis 500 was televised nationally on a tape-delayed basis for the first time on ABC.
April 5, 1976: The new, multi-million dollar Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame Museum was opened to the public, featuring approximately 75 classic automobiles, motorcycles and racing cars. The museum is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Summer 1976: The entire track was resurfaced with asphalt, marking the first complete repaving since paving bricks were laid in late 1909.
May 14, 1977: Pole-sitter Tom Sneva turned the first official 200-mph laps at the Speedway.
May 22, 1977: On the final day of qualifying in 1977, Janet Guthrie became the first female to qualify for the Indianapolis 500.
1977: A.J. Foyt became the first driver to win the Indianapolis 500 four times (1961, 1964, 1967 and 1977). Two other drivers would accomplish this feat in the years to come: Al Unser in 1987 (also won in 1970, 1971 and 1978) and Rick Mears in 1991 (also won in 1979, 1984 and 1988).
Oct. 27, 1977: Tony Hulman passed away after 32 years of presiding over the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Author: Warcraft 3 almost had six playable races
In our last two chats with David Craddock about his upcoming Blizzard book Stay Awhile and Listen, the author has given us stories about Diablo 2 hardcore mode and details on Blizzard North's early desire to create a sports division. Today, we get a bit more meat on the Warcraft series.
We know that Warcraft was meant to have a medieval setting, but what if the sequel had gone in a totally different direction?
"After releasing WarCraft: Orcs & Humans, Blizzard Entertainment's parent company pressured Blizzard president Allen Adham to get another game on store shelves," Craddock said. "A sequel to WarCraft seemed a natural next step, but there was deliberation over the setting and time period. One camp wanted a direct sequel--another battle between Orcs and humans in a medieval time and place. But another camp wanted to do something different. They proposed pitting the Orcs against modern-day humans piloting jets and other advanced weaponry in a fantasy-versus-science showdown. Stu Rose and Ron Millar, two of Blizzard's designers, united their efforts and squashed that idea, arguing that a bigger and better WarCraft wouldn't be quite so jarring."
We know how Warcraft 2 turned out when it was released in 1995, and after its success (and that of the expansion Beyond the Dark Portal in 1996), Blizzard focused on StarCraft. It wasn't until after StarCraft was released that work on Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos began.
"After shipping StarCraft, Blizzard's ace team of strategy game makers returned to WarCraft to devise another row between the Orcs and humans, plus two new factions: night elves, and the undead," Craddock said. "Originally, Blizzard conceived six races. The fifth was the Burning Legion, an ancient race of demons that invaded Azeroth early on in the game. Deciding on a sixth race was like a game of roulette, with the development ball stopping on various ideas. One such race was the goblins, a mischievous and devil-may-care band of green-skinned warriors who had thrown in with the Orc Horde during WarCraft II's events. Early plans for a fleshed-out race of goblins in WarCraft III played up the kamikaze mentality of the goblin with designs such as a catapult that flung units across the map. Ambition gave way to reality when six and even five races proved too difficult for Blizzard to balance. Goblins and the Burning Legion hung around in the game, but not in the form of fully playable factions."
Future stories from Craddock will include behind-the-scenes details on the Diablo games, StarCraft, the Warcraft series and World of Warcraft. Craddock and Shacknews will also bring you a week of book coverage during the week of October 29, featuring an in-depth interview with the author and a full chapter from his book.
Author David Craddock has been working on his book about Blizzard Entertainment since mid-2008. Entitled Stay Awhile and Listen, the unauthorized book talks to nearly 80 former employees, including those who used to work at Blizzard, Condor (later Blizzard North), and Silicon & Synapse (Blizzard's original name when it was founded), as well as people who had regular dealings with Blizzard head honchos Mike Morhaime and Allen Adham. Shacknews is pleased to offer a steady stream of stories from the book each Monday leading up to October 29. The book launches early next year. and will be published by Digital Monument Press.

A man accused of killing his wife and two children in Novi in 2008 has been extradited from India to Metro Detroit to face murder charges. His arrest could end a five-year-old murder mystery.
Fox 2's Ron Savage confronted the suspect at Metro Airport where he was taken into custody by the FBI and Novi Police. Click on the video player to watch Ron's report.Lakshminivasa Nerusu, 46, is suspected of killing his wife, Jayalakshmi Nerusu, 14-year-old daughter, Tejasvi Nerusu, and 12-year old son, Siva Nerusu, on Oct. 13, 2008.
Police believe he fled the country the following day. The family was discovered dead two weeks later inside their townhouse on the 29000 block of Wharton.
Investigators say the victims were bludgeoned and suffered self defense cuts on their hands and arms. The gruesome murder scene sickened even veteran investigators. Police recovered sharp edged weapons from the scene they believe were used in the murders.
Nerusu, a former computer programmer, has been on the run for nearly five years. Investigators from Novi, the FBI, Michigan State Police and the US State Department worked with Indian authorities in New Delhi culminating in the capture of one of Michigan's Most Wanted. He'll stand trial for three counts of murder one.

I thought it might be pretty significant, at first glance. A headline touting a new Gallup poll result showing Agriculture and Farming as having advanced 10 points over this past year, in terms of the general public's attitude toward those associated with Agriculture and Farming. I was a little disappointed in the three and a half lines devoted to that part of the report on the poll. The whole story is, a Work and Education Poll shows what Americans think of seven industries showing significant improvement over the past year. Banking, travel and real estate showed the most improvement. Farming and agriculture also made the list as the report shows, coming in at Number Six posting a 10-point improvement from a 32 rating last year, to a 2013 rating of 42.
By comparison, healthcare is the only industry surveyed to see a decline of at least ten points, although retail, computer, and pharmaceutical industries were close to that threshold. Banking scored the biggest change, +18, but did it coming from -28 last year, to a -10 this year.
Here's how the Gallup folks say they calculate the ratings, based on polling data. Americans are asked to rate 25 different business sectors and industries on a five-point scale ranging from "very positive", to "very negative". The net ratings - Agriculture's 10-point improvement - is an example of that differentiation.
There's a good deal more information on this issue, which I skipped over after taking what I wanted from the Gallup website, and the subset called Work and Education Poll.
As you may very well know, not all those who think of us, think well of us. And we can return the consideration, as in the case of the Humane Society of the United States. Michigan Farm Bureau is among those, including various conservation organizations worried about the most recent efforts of HSUS, this time to, as the magazine OUTDOOR LIFE puts it, that organization's campaign to protect wolves in Michigan is financed by non-Michigan money, endorsed for the most part by people other than Michigan residents, and is loaded with lies, innuendo, and pseudoscientific facts that are neither scientific or fact. But, that's the way HSUS operates, and that's why Farm Bureau, Conservation organizations, and independent hunters and other sportsmen are worried. HSUS, I hope you know, is not the Humane Society, although it borrows the name. The Humane Society - -the real one, at least the Kalamazoo chapter, began in 1897 as the Kalamazoo Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and Children; in 1937, it became the Kalamazoo County Humane Society, and that's what it is today.
HSUS claims to be "more than 50 years old". It's certainly not the Humane Society we grew up with; or, to paraphrase an old automobile ad, "It's not your grandfather's Humane Society!"

Diamond Pet Foods Recall Fiasco
Tainted kibble affects both people and pets
Please note comments are moderated. After being approved your comment will appear below.
Yes, I was feeding Canidae which has been voluntarily recalled as it is made at the Diamond plant. I just bought Fromms, a family run company that has their own manufacturing plant and tests the batches daily..or so they say.
Submitted by mary | May 11 2012 | Permalink
I have been feeding my dogs Fromm for many years. I first found the brand when I lived in Wisconsin in the '80's and '90's as it was a local family-owned and operated business. Had my horde on Wellness and Canidae, but didn't like how it seemed to foul up their GI system. So, I returned to Fromm 5 years ago and haven't looked back. I also incorporate fresh-cooked foods (veggies, fruits and meats) with their kibble as I am thinking of phasing out the dry altogether.
Yes, all foods that are processed have recall incidents, it's the nature of the beast, but I've found that for Fromm it is very, very rare. That fact alone helps me sleep at night. My furkids enjoy the food very much and it does not in any way add any GI problems.
Submitted by Pat Panek | May 7 2012 | Permalink
I am one who HATES to cook. Any kind of food preparation makes me grumble, but I can no longer have faith in where my pets' food is being manufactured, where the ingredients are coming from, and whether or not that bag of expensive dog/cat food is safe for my animals. I am investigating recipes for healthy, well balanced, and natural ingredients.
This is ridiculous and I am angry with these companies for not being more careful about with whom they do business. I understand the bottom line for them is profit margin. The bottom line for me is the health and longevity of my animals.
You have to keep in mind there are human food recalls all the time too. Unless you raise and grow your own food, there will always be risk of recalls. Wellpet and Candidae have both built their own plants and no longer use Diamond which has ALWAYS had a history of recalls.
Submitted by Anonymous | October 25 2012 | Permalink
Where did you get your information about Canidar building their own manufacturing plant? They used another co-packer until Diamond Pet Foods did a full scale shut down and clean up, and have now returned to diamond to have their food processed. Also, before "damning" diamond for having a recall, you should know that Mars, Purina, and most any other major brand have had recalls for similar problems. Any time raw ingredients are involved, especially when they are fresh, you run the risk of micro-biological organisms and virus'. People should really stop being mindless drones to the tv and actually do some research.

I got frustrated chasing the recalls and like you finding out that what you thought was reputable food such as TOTW is made at the plant that has a history of recalls! Plus finding out other brands that I have used in the past, such as Wellness, to be made by Diamond as well. TOTW has also admitted that they source supplements to the food from China :( As of last Friday I switched my dog to raw food, and she has not had any GI upset, which tells me that when you switch to real food you dont have the do the usual 5 day slow change as in with kibble.

I too fed my dogs Taste of the Wild...for years. Now I've switched to Acana. It was an easy switch for them. No stomache problems etc. Still have 1/2 a bag of Taste of the wild that's going in the garbage. Truth be told though, I'm suspicious of all dog food now. So feeding your pet beneful is like eating McDonalds every day but spending a pretty penny on 'high quality' dog food could kill them. Nice......
Submitted by Anonymous | May 8 2012 | Permalink
You might want to check Acana as well. I am pretty sure I saw a link on my FB that included Acana to the recall. We have to REALLY STAY ON TOP of this recall because Diamond is being SUPER SLOW in letting all of the brands out in the recall... Furthermore. The processing plant in question is a plant that makes certain ingredients for Diamond as far as I can understand. Therefore, other brands may be buying these ingredients from this plant as well.
Submitted by Mindy | May 7 2012 | Permalink
I started making homemade food for one of my two dogs, because our vet said that some of her health issues might be dietary in nature. Now I am seriously considering cooking for both dogs. I have been feeding my dogs Taste of the Wild because I was impressed with their supposed quality, but I have lost faith in the pet food industry.
we have been feeding Archie Diamond Natural for about 2 years now, this is quite an issue for us, as all has been taken off the shelves, we had to change brands totally. Diamond food is affiliated with so many products too!

I've been feeding homemade food for several years and my dogs are doing great. However due to the rising costs of meat I'd been thinking about switching back to a good kibble. This whole recall has made up my mind that I am NEVER going back. Human-grade homemade food all the way.
Submitted by Natalya | May 7 2012 | Permalink
"I'm starting to think that making my own pet food is the only way that I can be truly confident in the meals I put in my dogs' bowls." Home-prepared, fresh-food diets are a way to be much more confident about MANY aspects of your pet's health, avoiding contamination through processing being just one.
I started feeding RAW 6 years ago and haven't looked back - I avoid being unnerved by recalls, but most importantly, my dog's health is brilliant, he adores his food (especially meatloaf b-day cake! http://www.oscaratemymuffin.com/ ), and I get immense joy and satisfaction out of sourcing and hand-preparing each monthly batch of meals.
As with anything - do your research! - but it's so very worth the switch!!
Submitted by Christopher | May 7 2012 | Permalink
I am happy to say that our family no longer has to worry about problems like these since we switched our poodle to a raw diet. I have talked to many families and have read about hundreds more that have suffered through previous kibble company recalls. It seems to be a general notion that raw food is unsafe because it is raw but there are far more recalls with kibble and canned products. I'm not sure about you but I would never eat a food that is intended to sit in a warehouse, unrefrigerated for months first - and I will never again feed my dog this way.
A good raw food company to trust is BARF World - They have never had a recall (knocking on wood as I type). www.barfworld.com

I am in California and my dogs became sick about 4 days ago after I opened a new bag of Kirkland food. Their symptoms include diarrhea, bloody stool, vomiting, and fever. I was led to this recall after doing research online regarding their current condition. I did call the pet food recall hotline and I was told that they are receiving calls from all over California and they are shocked that the state has yet to be added to the list! I have fully switched to homemade dog food and a vitamin supplement.

How are the puppies. I have been caring for a friend's puppy that I just found out it this puppy's mother got sick from eating contaminated dog food and it affected all her puppies. We didn't know what was wrong with him, mostly diarrhea contain some blood or black stool (indication of blood) and symptoms similar to Parvo. It has been over a month and I have to say every two weeks. I was wondering what did you do to cure the puppies?

Thankfully, we have been feeding our dogs EVO Ancestral Diet kibble for several years now. This food has not been affected by the recall. They seem to thrive on it, so I am not planning to change.

There are several high quality commercial foods available, which engage in superior manufacturing practices - unlike Diamond. The key in choosing a pet food, after you review the ingredient panel, is to ask 'Is it co-packed'? There are co-packing (manufacturing) companies that do nothing but source ingredients and make the food for many brands, all out of one massive plant. This is the model that Diamond falls under. There are 2 reasons why this is not a good situation for your pets - the quality of ingredients is in the hands of the middle man/co-packer, and if something goes wrong with ingredients or process (tainted/unclean machinery), every product produced at that plant is affected (we're lucky there's only 14 brands on this recall). A co-packer doesn't put their name on the bag. A good pet food manufacturer will produce their own product - this is more expensive because they need their own plant, but its the only way to control ingredient quality and ensure proper manufacturing process is met. It can't be left to someone else.
Don't give up on finding a quality commercial food - just dig a bit deeper. Say no to co-packing.
I'm happy to receive email if anyone has any questions. I'm in the pet food industry but kept my product out of this - my objective here is to share info only. email@example.com

I feed my dog and cats a raw, homemade diet and they are more bright-eyed, energetic, and in-shape than they ever were on kibble. And since I used to work in pet retail, I have tried them on just about every premium brand available in the US. When I heard about the recall, and some of the high quality brands on the list, I was very glad that it wasn't even something I had to consider because my animals eat only human-grade whole meats, organs, and of course bones. People visiting my home regularly remark that though there are 4 cats in residence, there is no cat smell at all. None are overweight, and the dog has been raised on raw food and thrived.

FEED RAW, FEED RAW...I can't stress enough that everyone needs to get off the kibble craze. It's so unnatural and unhealthy for dogs and cats. Sure it's very convenient, but a lot of pet owners are not equating all of the sickness and disease that is caused from a lifetime of kibble crap! Cooked is not good either, especially cooked bones. Raw is easy and you know what your pets are getting...or more importantly what they are not getting. The multi billion dollar commercial pet food industry is driven by profit. Their concern for pet health is only out a fear of retaining customers. You can guarantee they are trying to make a seemingly high quality pet food for as cheaply as possible and it is not natural anyway. Please go to www.rawfed.com and read all of the information. It's a real eye opener!

Families from the two victims who were killed at a Portland-area mall released public statements through the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office.
Steven Mathew Forsyth was a loving husband, father of two children, son, brother, uncle, youth sports coach and friend to the many people who had the privilege to meet him.
Steve was one of the most passionate people with a true entrepreneurial spirit that drove him to start his business, Coastoms. He had a great sense of humor and a zest for life. He had vision and a belief in others that brought great joy and value to many lives.
He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
Cindy was everybody's friend. She was a wonderful person who was very caring and put others first.
The family has advised us they want time and space to grieve their loss and will not be giving interviews at this time.

Using only the most innovative fabrics and garment technology means Sweaty Betty remains at the forefront of functional, performance-enhancing women's activewear.
Grown without pesticides, this all-natural, biodegradable and sustainable fabric is the ideal choice for yogis.
Perfect for flowing through asanas and inversions, the fine fibres make it soft and smooth to the touch.
Crafted with micro gaps in the fibres to make it highly breathable, bamboo absorbs moisture quickly to keep the wearer dry and comfortable.
100% opaque
The interlock jersey technique features two threads layered one on top of the other; making the garment 100% opaque for full coverage during Downward Dog. As the 100% opacity comes via the knitting technique rather than the density of the fabric, the garment is still lightweight.
The natural fibres of the cotton make it an ideal choice for yogis.
With a soft, brushed feel and high-stretch capability, this fabric fits snugly to the body, flowing smoothly from asana to inversion.
The Sweaty Betty design and buying teams created this exclusive cotton composition in order to deliver 100% opacity in a soft, natural fabric.
Bonded technology involves gluing the seams together (rather than stitching) to prevent chafing and improve comfort.
Bonded in hot temperatures, the adhesive melts into a strong, durable seam that will stay secure during even the toughest of training.
Bonding the seams using this technology means the fabric becomes fully reversible.
Patented by Italian company Eurojersey, this fabric features a high Lycra content for unique elasticity allowing a greater freedom of movement during workouts.
The manmade fibres are smooth and matte, providing a delicate fit against the skin.
Allowing air to circulate between the fibres, the wrap-knit construction wicks moisture from the body for extra comfort.
The open structure of the fabric means it is quick-drying; ideal during high intensity training or warmer weather.
The Dedicate Luxe Vest will be available in September
The Garden Luxe Trousers will be available in September.
Seamless garments are engineered by weaving the fibres into one circular piece of fabric, which is then constructed into a slim-fitting, lightweight garment.
This form of garment engineering means there are no uncomfortable seams to cause chafing or irritation to sensitive skin.
Seamlessly-engineered garments feel softer and smoother to the touch.
Naturally thermal, the Merino fabric regulates body temperature to ensure the wearer stays warm without overheating.
Merino fabric's capability in wicking sweat from the body makes it perfect for base layers.
Biodegradable and sustainable, this natural fabric used by Sweaty Betty is sourced from farms with high animal welfare standards, certified by New Merino.
Natural and antimicrobial, this fabric is a superfine wool sourced from Merino sheep. Odour resistance means fewer washes and a longer-lasting garment.
The integrated silver ions that make up the innovative Q-Skin fibres prevent antibacterial build-up, allowing skin to breathe and remain odour-free.
To ensure the product stays fresher for longer, the silver ions are designed to release gradually, preserving the unique features of the fibres over a longer period of time.
The silver ions are embedded into the microfibre during the knitting process, making the fabric hypoallergenic.
reduces lactic acid build up
reduces muscle fatigue
The Compression-made fabric pulls muscles tighter together during exercise to keep the lactic acid at bay, enabling the runner to stride faster and further.
Each time a runner's foot hits the floor, the muscles vibrate from the impact â an effect known as oscillation. As a major contributor to muscle fatigue, garments crafted using Compression technology reduce the oscillation effect to improve overall performance.
improves circulation
As the name suggests, garments crafted using Compression technology compress the muscles during workouts to increase blood flow and circulation. By feeding more oxygen to the muscles, performance is enhanced.
improves recovery time
The Compression-made fabric stops the muscles from swelling and aids circulation to help the muscles repair more quickly.
elegant drape
ultra warm
This world-class Italian fabric is crafted in a unique hybrid of cotton and fleece, making it luxuriously soft and smooth.
The composition of the fabric means the garment creates a beautiful, flattering drape.
Naturally insulating, this fabric ensures warmth in colder weather.


text: An elderly man is in police custody after a murder at the Philip Sims Senior Apartments on Detroit's east side. Investigators described a gruesome and bloody scene -- a women's body dismembered.The 72-year-old suspect was taken out on a stretcher and taken to the hospital.We're told the bloody torso of a women in her forties was found in the bathtub of his eleventh floor apartment. Police were called to the building when residents reported seeing the man carrying bags dripping blood in an elevator and on the sidewalk.Neighbors said the suspect uses a wheelchair, but they have also seen him walk.Thelma McCaa said she and a younger woman, possibly the victim, helped him back to his apartment a few days ago because he appeared to be drunk."He told the girl who help me pull him up that she was going to hell. I said, 'Why? She's helping me get you in your apartment,'" McCaa told us.Homicide investigators spent the day looking for evidence and scouring the area using a police canine unit for any more missing body parts.Some neighbors expressed fear after seeing the police activity. Two women described the suspect as unfriendly and someone who had a lot of women around."I saw a lot of [females] a couple times," one woman said."I wasn't afraid of him, but it's like I should've been," the other said.One neighbor said security is lax. There are drugs and prostitution in the building, and people who should not be there are getting inside. She said she has complained to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, but nothing has been done.We do not yet have the name of the suspect or the victim. We're told the man is not cooperating with police.

What is a QRcode?
QR codes are two-dimensional barcodes that are embedded with information. They have the ability to store complex information within a small matrix. This information may include alphanumeric text or website links. The website link may be programmed to direct the user to a site that contains information about the subject in question. This is known as "mobile tagging". Mobile tagging is a process used by Scannable Media which allows quick, precise access to information by the customer via the internet.
Any mobile camera phone that has a QR reader can read a QR Code. QR decoding software is freely available for most mobile phones with cameras. Once the software is loaded on the phone, the user points the camera toward the code to scan it. The QR software either interprets the alphanumeric text embedded within the code or displays a web page link and asks the user permission to launch a browser to display the specific web page.
QR codes are very popular in Japan and are increasing in popularity in the United States, Europe, and Canada as mobile phone access to 3G networks increases.
These codes are found on product labels, billboards, buildings, and business cards…
What makes ScannableMedia different?
ScannableMedia has developed a process that gives our customers the ability to reuse the same QR Code over and over again. This feature allows the QR Code to point to different information as needed. Each of the QR Codes we provide is serialized and with the use of our web-based management tools, these changes are easily made. This services helps to decrease costs associated with printing and advertising.
Some ways in which our customers are able to utilize serialized QR Codes include store-front advertising. The customer can place a sign with the QR Code at the front of the store, such as at the front window that customers see when arriving at the store. This sign will direct the customers to a web page which promotes a different sale or coupon which can be updated weekly, renewing customer interest.
Real estate agents also benefit from serialized QR codes. The agent can create one reusable sign to direct prospective buyers to a property listing. Once that property sells, the same sign can be moved to a different property. A new sign with a different QR Code will not have to be reprinted, saving costs associated with the production of the sign. The QR Code which is placed on sign advertising can also be used to point to Realtor information such as contact information or generate a prompt to send an email or place a phone call.
As you can see the possibilities for our QR Codes are limitless, helping to eliminate the need to reprint advertising materials and increase profitability in their use.

53-year-old Randy Zeilinger calls himself just a regular guy from Garden City except he will admit he takes some things to the extreme."Pretty geeked up about wildlife and nature. It's all around us. We're part of it," he said.And don't be jealous, gentlemen, but Zeilinger is a man's man, a real chick magnet."My chickens, they run around the backyard, they scratch, they cluck," he said. "The chickens were a good way to take care of slugs and other bugs.""The bonus is they make you breakfast. They give you an egg every day, and they're healthy, wonderful creamy eggs, so much better than you're getting in the store."Zeilinger says this poultry is how he pays the piper. He has eleven of them, and he loves them. But some of his neighbors don't care for the chickens or Zeilinger, either."Actually he's become a public nuisance," said neighbor Craig Swarthout."It's not like the chickens come and bother them. It's not like the chickens harass them. The chickens can't even be seen," Zeilinger said. "I have all hens, so they don't even make any noise.""I hear them every single day," Swarthout countered. "Their argument is, well, a dog makes noise, too. I've never seen anybody put a leash on a chicken and walk it around the neighborhood.""They just don't want me to have them," Zeilinger said."Because of the chickens, it's now attracted mice, rats," Swarthout said. "It's not only noise. It's the smell. It's annoying. You shouldn't have the chickens. You're violating city ordinance. That's all there is to it, and you're using taxpayer money to do all this stuff.""I get a ticket in the mail. The ticket was a postcard from the court that said please show up at court for a pretrial hearing," Zeilinger explained.When it was all said and done, the ruling was not in Zeilinger's favor."It wasn't a zoning or an ordinance violation. It was a criminal case," he said. "That just blew me away.""I was a witness for the prosecution," Swarthout said."The sentence was 30 days in jail, fines and costs $905," Zeilinger said. "Six months of reporting probation.""I don't think it was harsh," Swarthout said.This backyard guy has never been to jail. He has no idea what the big house would be like."I figure I'm going to find out because there's no way I can pay the fine. I mean, the chickens are my only source of income. That's my only cash flow is the eggs I can sell from my chickens," Zeilinger said."Punishment should fit the crime. I think they should make him go work at a real chicken farm and have him shovel chicken waste and see what it really is like because then he would understand what we feel like," Swarthout said.Zeilinger says state law is on his side, although Garden City's ordinance says you can only house dogs, cats and canaries or animals commonly classified as pets."Fortunately in Michigan, we have a thing called the Michigan Right to Farm Act, which is supposed to protect small operations, large operations from nuisance lawsuits brought by local governments," he said."The farmer wants to protect his right to farm. That's fine. It's not somebody that lives in a residential neighborhood that gets a bunch of chickens in his backyard," Swarthout said."I'm not going to crack. I believe then, I believe now I'm perfectly within my rights," Zeilinger said.Zeilinger was sentenced to 30 days in jail, but the jail time was suspended. However, he could be violating his probation if he doesn't get rid of those chickens and pay that fine. Then he could end up behind bars.

The Buzz on Bee Therapy
By Kristin Bjornsen
Kathleen Miller, of Albuquerque, New Mexico, opened the bee box and with long-handled tweezers, removed a buzzing bee. She softly pressed its hind end on her knee. The bee stung her. At the time, says Miller, "I thought, This is wacko—plus, I'm killing an animal I love. What am I doing?"
But what she was doing was apitherapy, a form of medicine people in Egypt, Greece, and China have practiced for more than 5,000 years. Apitherapy uses bee venom, as well as pollen, honey, and other hive products, to prevent or treat illness and injuries. "Globally, it's a huge system of medicine, especially in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and South America, where even many MDs sting their patients," says Frederique Keller, LAc, apitherapist, acupuncturist, and president of the American Apitherapy Society (AAS), headquartered in Centerport, New York. "The United States is way behind." Here, although apitherapists can get "certificates of knowledge" by attending the AAS Charles Mraz Apitherapy Course and Conference, no formal certification or sanctioning exists, much like homeopathy.
But that's changing, says Keller, with a growing number of physicians, acupuncturists, and everyday people embracing apitherapy as a treatment for conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, shingles, tendonitis, gout, carpal tunnel syndrome, Lou Gehrig's disease, fibromyalgia, painful scars and burns, multiple sclerosis (MS), and Lyme disease. With venom therapy, you can either go to an apitherapist—who will use live bees or injectable bee venom (only doctors can perform the latter)—or do it yourself after learning the techniques.
Miller, 59, turned to bee venom, which has strong anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties, for an arthritic and damaged knee. A world-class marathon runner in the '80s, she placed fifth at the 1980 Boston Marathon. The pavement pounding pulverized her right knee, however, and in 1990, she tore the cartilage in the already weakened knee while rock climbing. She underwent surgery almost immediately and was running a month later. But in 1991, she tore cartilage again, this time while swimming. Once more, Miller had surgery, "completely unsuccessfully," she says. For whatever reason, "my knee stayed in a postoperative condition: incredibly red, hot, swollen, and painful." A pediatric nurse practitioner, she would immediately dive for a chair to take a patient's history. At parties, standing around chatting tortured her. And every day, from 1992 to 1996, she took the maximum dosage of ibuprofen or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs with little relief. She tried a third surgery, as well as acupuncture and myofascial relief techniques. No luck. "Those years were miserable," says Miller. "I was begging for a knee replacement even though I was only 47 years old."
Sting Operation
In spring 1996, Miller read about a farmer whose rheumatoid arthritis was cured when he put on his pajamas and was stung by a be...

Hello again! This is Karin Vail from Cascade Quilts and I am happy to bring you my third Moda Bake Shop project! This would look wonderul in just about any Moda collection!
I showed a preview picture of the pattern to a quilter friend of mine, and she said it looked like a labyrinth or maze, so the name was born. This quilt came together pretty quickly - it looks complicated, but if you keep your consistent 1/4'' seam, you should have no problems :) This quilt top finishes at approx. 87''x87''.
2 jelly rolls (Noteworthy by Sweetwater)
3 1/2 yards Bella solids (Snow)
5 yards backing (#5500 15 ''Daisy'' from Noteworthy collection)
We will be using 1/4'' seam allowance throughout.
First, we'll be cutting loads and loads of narrow strips from your Bella solid.
8 WOF strips @ 1.75'' for the border
66 WOF strips @ 1.5'' wide for the sashing (30 are for your strip sets)
Subcut 28 of the 1.5'' strips into:
45 pieces @ 16.5''
50 @ 8''
Set aside 30 WOF @ 1.5'' for your strip sets, and 8 WOF @ 1.5'' for your sashing.
To get the most out of your solids, you can get two 16.5'' pieces and one 8'' piece from each WOF - so, from 22 strips, cut 44 pieces @ 16.5'' and 22 pieces @ 8'' - then from one strip, cut 1 piece @ 16.5'' and 3 pieces @ 8'' - then from 5 strips, cut 25 more pieces @ 8''. This should give you the least amount of waste.
Take the remaining eight 1.5'' strips and join into 4 longer strips @ 88'' (sashing strip to join the rows together.)
Join the eight WOF 1.75'' strips into 4 @ 88'' for your border.
Open your two jelly rolls and choose 30 strips from each jelly roll for a total of 60 strips. Some of the remaining jelly roll strips will be used for scrappy binding, so keep that in mind when choosing strips. Also keep in mind what you choose if you might want to make matching pillows. Unfortunately, I left out the white/white prints and lower value prints and didn't think about using the remaining for pillows until the top was already all assembled. I wish I would have thought ahead further so I could have a matching pillow or two.
Anyhow, for each of the strip sets, you will choose 3 jelly roll strips and join together alternating with 2 of the 1.5'' solid strips. Press all seams to one side.
Cut each strip set into five 8.5'' squares. There will be VERY LITTLE waste here, so cut cautiously. After you have cut all your strip sets into 8.5'' squares, you will take pairs keeping the seams orientated in the same direction, and cut them diagonally in opposing directions.
It is imperitive that you cut the angles in opposing directions for this to work.
Now, swap the upper pieces from each block and align and you will start to see the sub-block emerging!
If you pressed the seams to one side, and kept them in the same direction when you cut the blocks, your seams will all nest pefectly when you go to join the triangles back into a square! The bias edge helps a LOT to make sure your seams line up.
Sew the blocks together and press. You can press open or to one side here, your choice. I chose to press to the side because it's faster :)
At this point, carefully trim your blocks so they are 8'' square. You should have VERY little to trim, if anything at all. The blocks will go together much nicer if these are all nice and square though :)
Continue cutting/sewing your sub-blocks - you should have a total of 100 for this quilt.
To assemble the 25 blocks, you will stitch an 8'' x 1.5'' solid between pairs of sub-blocks, press toward the solid. Then, assemble pairs of those with the 16.5'' x 1.5'' strip for your finished blocks. There will be 25 total. Using your final twenty 16.5'' x 1.5'' strips, sew the blocks into rows of 5 - then use your 1.5'' x 88'' strips to join your rows. Finally, use your final four 1.75''x 88'' strips to add a border for a final quilt top finish of 87''x87''.
Now you can layer, baste, quilt, and bind using 9 of your remaining jelly roll strips! (You will have 11 leftover jelly roll strips from the 2 jelly rolls and a small amount of the solid - maybe make some pillows to match?!)
One beautiful 87''x87'' quilt!
