Red Hawk suggested converting more than 25 acres of Open Space for about 70 new villages. The two entities entered into two separate residential construction tax agreements that required Red Hawk to build five local parks, the first two parks using a reimbursement agreement and the remaining three through a credit agreement.
According to City of Sparks staff, Red Hawk Park and Rose Garden were built and completed by the developer using a pay-per-building-permit method in which $1,000 was given to the city for each new home building permit. Though the third park, Pelican Park, was built the city said "it was not constructed in accordance with City standards nor was it ever dedicated to the city," like the first two parks.
"When we got park three the developer sold the land to the developer who constructed the park, which was Silverado LP," said Tim Thompson, senior planner for the city. "The developer was still responsible for building that park when they sold it because it was owned by Silverado who lost the land and it reverted to the county."
Thompson said the city spent about $200,000 bringing the park up to code after purchasing it from Washoe County in an auction. He compared the agreement to giving Red Hawk a credit card with $1.2 million on it that was supposed to be used to build three parks. He said the city cannot agree to deal out more land to the developers when they have not lived up to their end of the bargain.
"They are supposed to build us a park. They didn't do it," Thompson said of the situation. "What we are saying is we can't count that park because it was not dedicated to the city like the agreement stated. The next park should be build Silverton Shores Park. An argument can be made that it is considered as park three."
Although Red Hawk Land Company did not return requests for interviews, a letter dated March 26 to the Sparks Planning Commission and City Council and sent from representative Jackie Seeno worded the group's position on the issue.
"Staff's current recommendation for denial contradicts its previous recommendations to the Planning Commission and the Planning Commission's recommendations for the City Council," Seeno wrote. "Staff had always known the facts on the parks and the claimed issues (mainly timing) throughout the process of development at Wingfield Springs. Any issues with the parks can only be solved with the tentative approval of the Handbook Amendment."
Seeno went on to discuss the status of the remaining parks and stated that park three was constructed and acquired by the city in a tax sale who then put it in service including its maintenance. Seeno said construction has begun on Silverton Shores Park and said it will be completed before the issuing of building permit 2,200. Currently 1,999 building permits have been issued in the surrounding area.
"Staff was in full control of issuing the residential building permits to the permit applicants (in most instances to applicants other than Red Hawk)," Seeno said, "Granting at the time of building permit issuance the tax credits for park construction. The park issues that staff is now reporting as 'new' would have surfaced in 2004, around the timeline for park three. If these issues are in fact real, then staff has failed in exercising its duties and may have wrongly issued tax credits, thereby depleting the land available to Red Hawk."
Seeno wrote in the letter that Red Hawk "strongly disagrees" with the city's position and the land company fully plans to defend their position in the issue. The item, per the Sparks City Council, has been tabled until further notice and the council instructed the two entities to work together to find a solution.

Jeremy Taylor
Jeremy has been an Internet based writer for the past seven years.
Airing right after Super Bowl XXII in 1988, the much-hyped pilot for 'The Wonder Years' made an immediate impression. After just six episodes the show was awarded an Emmy for Best Comedy Series, and its 13-year old star Fred Savage became the youngest ever performer to be nominated for Best Actor in a Comedy Series.
The college drama 'Felicity' was J.J. Abrams' first foray into television. The show starred Keri Russell as the show's titular character, and it was a hit for the WB among young viewers when it debuted in 1998.
Then ratings fell in 1999, a dip many critics and network executives attributed to Russell's new much shorter hairstyle. Eventually Russell's golden locks grew back and the ratings rebounded, allowing the show to last for four seasons -- one for each year of college.
In 1992, 'Melrose Place,' the second series in the 'Beverly Hills 90210' franchise, debuted on Fox's Thursday night lineup. 'Melrose Place' was more adult and became much sleazier than the posh L.A
They used to say there are no second acts in American life. Thanks to the internet, though, these days once-famous folks never really go away.
Before Judd Apatow was "Judd Apatow" he wrote a movie in 1995 called 'Heavyweights,' about the adventures of a group of portly young men who had been sent by their folks to a weight-loss camp.
We've been able to track down the whereabouts of most of the actors who played these jolly campers. Others, however, have seemingly disappeared and we can only hope that it's not because they eventually fell prey to the Tony Perkis method of dieting and wasted away to nothing. See what your favorite 'Heavyweights' child actors are up to today.
In his review of 'The Sandlot,' Roger Ebert called the 1993 comedy "the summertime version of 'A Christmas Story.' The venerable critic was certainly onto something there, as both movies take nostalgic looks back at more innocent times and each rely heavily on the talents of its child actor cast.
In 1994, Disney remade the classic 1951 baseball film 'Angels in the Outfield.' The premise of the movie is that a young baseball fan, who has been placed in foster care, reaches out to his widowed birth father and asks when they will be a family again. The dad sarcastically replies, "When the Angels win the pennant." So, the boy prays for that to happen, and has his prayers are answered when a group of angels come to earth to help the baseball Angels start winning.
'The Goonies' was an ensemble movie all the way, and the seven actors who played the ragtag gang of young treasure hunters all delivered memorable performances. In fact, most of them used 'The Goonies' as a springboard into long careers in TV and film, and even the ones who didn't have found success in other venues.
Remember 'The Rocketeer?' The movie, which was based on the graphic novel by Dave Stevens, was somewhat of a flop when it came out in 1991, but the tale of a handsome 1930s era test pilot (Billy Campbell) who uses a rocket suit to fight Nazis and mobsters has become somewhat of a cult classic over the years.
Of all the movies on late writer/director John Hughes' impressive resume, his 1986 comedy hit 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' has the most staying power.

Would those genuinely interested in learning about evolution benefit from a careful explanation of why these common objections don't hold water? Here the answer seemed to me to be "yes."
The BioLogos Book Club discussion of Francis Collins' The Language of God.
There is often a worry that working in or studying science is a threat to faith, but stories of scientists who are Christians in the top ranks of academia show that this is not the case.
"I believe that we must now ask for more than simple avoidance of cognitive dissonance. I believe we should seek for cognitive consonance."
Carl's dramatic lines that opened his Cosmos were repeated in Cosmos II: "The universe is all there is, or was, or ever will be." When I told Haines Stiles that many people took that as a statement of atheism, he responded with surprise. "Really?" he said. "We just put that in because it sounded poetic!"
This week in Origins news, a few different takes on the new COSMOS series on Fox, some intriguing discoveries and theories about dinosaurs, and a smattering of articles supporting women in science—who are often an underrepresented group in STEM fields.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
A deep love for scripture, coupled (ironically) with a lifelong struggle with religious doubt, led Robert Boyle to write several important books relating scientific and religious knowledge. We explore aspects of this fascinating interaction.
All of you who do science, all of you who teach or research or you're involved in engineering or medicine or education, or biology or chemistry or physics—you are doing a noble thing. You are thinking God's thoughts after him. … You are obeying God's command given way back in Genesis to exercise dominion, to learn about, to be curious and discover and steward the earth.
The Psalmist is saying that when we walk outside and look up, the heavens are telling us two things about God: they tell us about his glory, and they tell us about what his hands can do.
The affirmation of genuine chance and randomness in the universe does not rob the universe of meaning and purpose.
Today's Origins News Roundup features challenging and exciting new ideas about evolutionary theory, fossil finds that add to our understanding of how carnivores and humans developed, some interesting science history from England, and more on American views of evolution.
Today's origins news roundup features an end-of-year look at some of 2013's major science highlights, a brief glimpse at what to watch for in the new year, and a few great science and faith resources from the past few weeks.
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
"Where many scholars in previous generations simply assumed that Christianity and science have always been in conflict—and not just over evolution—recent scholarship has decisively debunked that view. The main message from today's historians is complexity, not conflict."

The phenomenal growth of mobile networking is presenting mobile operators with corresponding challenges as they race to add capacity and services to meet accelerating demands. They are concerned with optimizing their networks cost-effectively as well as generating revenue beyond basic mobile subscriptions. Now, with the intelligence and performance provided by Cisco's end-to-end mobile Internet architecture, platforms, and technologies, mobile operators can promote unique service differentiation to increase revenue opportunities. Real-time subscriber and network intelligence together with policy and charging control in the Cisco® infrastructure can be the basis for mobile operators to enhance services to existing customers, forge new business partnerships with over-the-top providers and other service or application providers, and create new higher-margin services.
Challenge: Capitalizing on Dramatic Mobile Market Growth
Solution: New Capabilities, New Business Models, New Revenues
• Service-aware charging
• Access control
• Policy control
• Content filtering
• Quality of service (QoS)
• Application detection and control
• Filtering, caching, and ad-insertion
• Security
Figure 1. Percentage of Capital Expenditures in Mobile Network Topologies Today
Profits Through Monetization
• Protecting, controlling, and growing the existing services base
• Developing revenue-sharing business models with third-party providers
• Increasing revenues by launching new services
Protecting, Controlling, and Growing the Services Base
Figure 2. Policy and Charging Control Inline Services - the Baseline to Monetization
• Tiered services: Policy and charging control can be used to define gold, silver, and bronze service tiers. Each plan can include QoS that is superior to the best-effort service that customers are currently receiving from over-the-top providers. Customers can receive a proactive notification when they are nearing 75 percent of their monthly usage quota. Differentiated billing can be based on usage volume, duration, time of day, or other factors. Even per-event billing and billing based on minutes of usage for push-to-talk services are possible, along with prepaid or postpaid options. Tiered services can increase customer satisfaction levels, helping to ensure that each customer has a plan best suited to their needs. A 2010 study by Network Strategy Partners LLC found that pricing tiers that offer specific content for a flat monthly fee can produce a significant revenue boost as compared to a single pricing plan for flat-rate service, Figure 3.
Figure 3. Tiered Pricing Example
• Roaming: While most roaming solutions are designed to prevent bill shock, frequent roamers can be offered a premium plan or tier that allows access to all services at any time. Other subscribers can be provided with limited access to data services when roaming, but can dynamically opt for higher-bandwidth access as needed for an additional fee.
• Day plans and pre-pay: The proliferation of laptops and netbooks with mobile broadband connectivity has led to a growing number of users who want temporary access when visiting areas not served by their home provider. These mobile users can be given the option to purchase mobile broadband access for a limited duration or for a fixed amount of capacity, similar to the wireless LAN services and pre-pay schemes.
• Parental controls and family quota plan: Adding a charge for network-based parental controls and even a family quota plan for mobile devices can be a popular and lucrative add-on service. Parents can limit access to specific applications, such as phone service and peer-to-peer gaming, or remove privileges or even bandwidth if a child is neglecting schoolwork or otherwise misbehaving. Currently, PC-based parental controls require special software that must be purchased, loaded on each machine, and configured. Mobile parental controls have been virtually nonexistent. Now, however, content filtering and usage controls can tell parents how much bandwidth is being used by which family member on which device and for how long. Parents can block specific applications during the school day or by user or enforce a specific bandwidth ceiling per user per day. These controls can be made available to a parent through a portal, where service limits can be dynamically set and notifications on usage by each family member monitored.
• Turbo service: Requirements for voice and email on a mobile device are much less network-intensive than for multimedia applications such as video and gaming. With turbo service, customers can opt to pay for additional bandwidth on-demand. If a user wants to play a multimedia game or download a movie, for example, a turbo button can enhance the service while the application is in use, providing a higher-quality experience and delivering incremental revenue to the operator.
• Special promotions using enhanced charging: The ability to zero-rate specific application traffic, as desired, gives operators the option of promoting "free" access (also known as "Freemium"). For example, Vodafone Australia designed a promotion for new subscribers tied to a specific device that offered a discounted price plus free access to Facebook. The same concept could be applied to any application traffic, thanks to Cisco's policy solution with deep packet inspection and enhanced charging.
Developing Revenue-sharing Business Models with Third Party Providers
Figure 4. Collaboration with Third-Party Companies for Added Revenue, New Business Models
• eBook service: Given the growth of eBooks, an exciting opportunity exists for mobile operators to partner with device vendors and content owners to get a percentage of revenue from eBook downloads. An example of such a collaborative agreement was reached by AT&T with Amazon.com and Borders Books. Amazon sells the Kindle eBook reader and has a content agreement with Borders Books. The consumer is only charged for content purchased, not for network access. AT&T receives a revenue share of each book delivered, providing one-touch, 30-second guaranteed downloads of books. The AT&T and Amazon collaboration also provides customer and network intelligence that allows for data mining that can be used to promote content specials and cross-selling opportunities based on location, time of day, customer preferences, and other factors.
• Sports, music, and other specialty content subscriptions: The ability to identify and differentiate applications on the mobile network can also be applied to special subscriptions for access to sports and music on mobile devices. Vodafone UK has partnered with Sky Broadcasting, for example, to provide subscribers with an all-the-football-you-can-watch-per-month premium streaming service for £5 per month or 50p per highlight. Vodafone and Sky Broadcasting split the revenue. The service also includes score and game alerts and is much like the addition of a premium channel in a cable TV subscription plan. Another service available through Vodafone UK is an unlimited music option for £1.99 per week that includes full track downloads and occasional free streaming video. Both of these services are billed based on flat rates instead of bandwidth (zero-rated on their subscription) and these and other bundled service packages have proven very popular with football and musical fans alike.
• Gaming subscriptions: Bandwidth-intensive games such as World of Warcraft can provide consumers with assured quality experiences on mobile devices and operators with new revenue from service agreements with game providers. An existing subscription with a gaming company could be extended by the mobile operator to include use on mobile devices. The mobile subscription could be offered as a standalone add-on or as part of a tiered service. Different price points could be offered based on peak and off-peak usage hours.
• Application stores: Many of today's very popular and lucrative mobile application stores provide no monetization for the mobile operator. Instead, revenues flow to the application store owner and the entity that controls the portal. But with the intelligent Cisco mobile Internet infrastructure, mobile operators can partner with application vendors to help them promote their products and services, share associated advertising revenues, and get a percentage of licensing revenues. The application provider gains access to the network resources, gets real estate on the operator's captive portal, and can benefit from bundled pricing and other service offerings. Telenor Norway's Content Provider Access initiative currently generates 6 percent of the operator's revenue.
• Preferred access: The ability to provide QoS and dependable access through 2G, 3G, 4G, or other standards instead of best effort is a powerful competitive differentiator. The intelligence provided by Cisco solutions allows content providers to pay for preferred access or QoS while the user enjoys a superior experience when accessing the specific application. This can be an enhancement to the application store model and to any other application as well, such as video delivery.
• Machine-to-machine (M2M): Application services can be extended to non-traditional mobile devices, such as M2M connections that link wireless data calls between machines. The rapidly growing M2M market (with traffic between machines forecast to triple by 2014 to 75 million calls between machines, according to ABI Research) includes telemetry and telematics applications in health, automotive, surveillance, fleet logistics, transportation, and shipping industries.
Increasing Revenues by Launching New Services
• Rich Communication Suite (RCS) services: This service and feature set for mobile phones is built around presence and a user's phone address book. The RCS client is built into many handsets and once the service is activated, it can show where your friends and associates are and if they are available. Chat sessions, sharing of video in "See what I see" mode, image or file sharing, SMS, and other services are possible with RCS. The service is growing dramatically, especially in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) and Asia Pacific (APAC).
• Social networking services: Mobile operators can utilize their robust, end-to-end networks to promote and monetize high-end social networking environments. One example is Cyworld, a South Korean social networking service. Operated in partnership with South Korea Telecom, the service enables relationships in a virtual world among members who appear as avatars in rooms that they can decorate with objects that they buy. Cyworld encompasses a photo gallery, video, SMS service, and other features. It generated US$200 million in revenue in 2007, the equivalent of US$10 per user (ad-heavy MySpace, by comparison, brings in an estimated US$2.17 per user).
• Social networking with content services: Mobile operators can create their own social network environments or offer the service for branding by partners. Vodafone New Zealand created Vodafone Self Central, a social network platform for mobile phones. It lets consumers create mobile spaces and upload images, video, and audio to these spaces. The content can be downloaded by others within the Vodafone network. Setting up a space is free. Uploading of content is charged based on a standard multimedia message rate (US20 cents to US$1). Others can download content from a subscriber's space for 25 cents per download and the content owner receives a 5-cent credit for each download. The Self Central space can also be used to chat with others and includes unlimited video-streaming services.

I'm going to bet you are using 5/16 field points. They are 1/64" larger in diameter than the shaft/insert (1/128" around the circumference). Just enough to make them hang up. Best bet is to get smaller diameter points like 9/32". They won't hurt anything and make arrow removal a breeze. If you have a good shop close by you can try Saunders or PDP points in 19/64". Most shops don't carry them and I can never figure out why because this is the proper size for most commonly used carbons.
For those who use Gold Tip arrows you should be aware that their Expeditions, XT, Ultralite and similar sizes use an insert that tapers from 5/16" at the point down to the saft size. They hang up a little due to the reverse taper, but at least they don't tear up the target stuffing and actually make a slightly bigger hole than the shaft when shooting 3D targets. Keeps the rubber from melting onto the shaft.
One of these days the people who manufacture points are going to figure that out. This is one reason I deplore field points

Thanks guys you are correct. Two different sizes. Kinda ticks me off when you think of it the kid who cut/sold the shafts said that the tips would fit the Bemans and of course Beman's box did not say what size to use. Oh well contacted the mfgr, i will let you know.
This is the only target i own. i have easily put a couple hundred arrows through it, and im sure it could easily handle a couple hundred more. I had problems with my arrows sticking at first, then i switched the style of my practice tips. i shoot micro-diameter arrows with 125 grain tips. so the tips are a little bigger than the shaft, so the arrows were getting lodged into the target. i had to purchase practice tips that were contoured to match (as best as possible) to match the shaft of the arrow..

Chronic sinusitis can lead to unbearable pain, but there is helpFARGO - Derek Peterson of Fargo has suffered from chronic sinus infections his whole life, he said. "In grade school, I'd be holding my head in my hands just miserable," he said.
By: Tracy Frank, INFORUM
FARGO - Derek Peterson of Fargo has suffered from chronic sinus infections his whole life, he said.
"In grade school, I'd be holding my head in my hands just miserable," he said.
He tried antibiotics and neti pots, but nothing helped. Headaches were so common that Peterson took ibuprofen like vitamins, he said.
Then last spring he started getting what's called cluster headaches, one of the most painful types of headaches, according to Mayo Clinic. Peterson said the pain is so unbearable, they're sometimes called suicide headaches.
He saw a neurologist who thought he may have a blood clot. Then, he was referred to Dr. William Porter of William C. Porter Ear, Nose & Throat in Fargo. Porter said all of Peterson's sinuses were completely infected, were not draining and had been that way for a long time, Peterson said.
On top of that, his septum deviated too far to the right.
"I essentially hadn't been getting oxygen flow through my right nostril pretty much my whole life," Peterson said.
Sinusitis is an inflammatory condition of the paranasal sinuses that causes symptoms including nasal congestion, facial pain or pressure and nasal discharge accompanied by pus, according to Porter.
Sinustitis is one of the most common chronic health problems in the U.S., affecting 37 million Americans each year, according to Dr. Lesley Soine of Plains Ear, Nose, Throat & Facial Plastic Surgery in Fargo.
Patients can also suffer from headaches, a loss of the sense of smell and malaise, she said.
Peterson hadn't realized how much his sinus issues affected his sense of smell, he said. He worked on a commercial fishing boat for a year, and while people around him would be gagging, he was fine.
"Now I realize I just couldn't smell," he said.
Peterson also wasn't able to focus. Although he'd been a 4.0 student in high school, in college he received average to below-average grades. In high school he was athletic and described himself as a social butterfly.
But in recent years he isolated himself from activities and other people. He was tired all the time and it hurt to even talk, he said.
He also suffered from Horner syndrome, a rare disorder that occurs when certain nerves that travel from the brain to the eyes and face are damaged, according to Mayo Clinic. It causes the upper eyelid to droop and the lower lid to be slightly elevated. It also causes a decrease in pupil size in the affected eye.
All of that changed after Porter performed sinus surgery on Peterson last May.
"It's completely changed my life, my attitude, my performance in anything I do, my overall wellbeing," he said.
His Horner syndrome also went away, he said.
Chris Nilson of Fargo used to get a sinus infection every month. And whenever he got a cold, it seemed it would just continue to get worse rather than go away, he said.
He was tired and stuffy all the time and suffered through bad sinus headaches. He would miss days of work and be tired all weekend.
But then he underwent Balloon Sinuplasty with Soine two months ago and hasn't had a sinus infection since, he said.
"I feel great," he said. "I had a cold and it went away in two days."
Soine has started offering in-office Balloon Sinuplasty, which uses a small catheter and balloon to quickly open and expand blocked sinuses, restoring normal sinus drainage and function.
"It's designed to be a very minimally invasive procedure," Soine said. "Balloon Sinuplasty is designed to take a sinus that is not properly draining and it basically opens the natural drainage passages of the sinus without removing tissue."
Patients who go through the in-office procedure don't use a full anesthetic as they would in a hospital-based procedure, Soine said.
"It cuts down on recovery time," she said.
Balloon Sinuplasty is a newer technology that's been used over the past five to seven years, Porter said.
For chronic sinusitis that doesn't respond to non-surgical treatments, surgeons might also do an endoscopic surgery to make the sinus openings bigger to drain them and allow better airflow, he said.
But surgical procedures aren't always needed.
Acute infections that last less than six weeks may clear up on their own or with antibiotics or over-the-counter treatments, Porter and Soine said.
And sinus problems aren't always a sign of sinusitis, they said.
"Quite a lot of times people who think they have a chronic sinus infection don't," Porter said.
A common problem is that the ridges in the lining of the nose swell up tremendously, plugging the nose and causing pain and pressure in their sinuses, he said.
"That's what gets really swollen when you have a cold or allergies to the extent that it can block the flow of air," he said.
A deviated septum or a combination of deviated septum and swollen ridges in the nose's lining can mimic a sinus infection, he said.
"They may have even been treated with a lot of different antibiotics presuming it's a sinus infection but nobody's ever gotten an X-ray or a CAT scan," he said.
Swollen ridges in the nose's lining can be treated with a steroid nasal spray. Sometimes surgery is needed, Porter said.
If a person doesn't get sinus infections often, Porter recommends going to a primary care doctor or walk-in clinic, but if it doesn't clear up, an otolaryngologist (ear, nose, throat specialist) can help.

Bomb threat locks down Silverado High
Sheriff's Department: Students released after no bomb is found
VICTORVILLE • Silverado High School was on lockdown for more than one hour Thursday afternoon while sheriff's deputies investigated a possible bomb threat.
Nothing suspicious was found on campus and students left school at their scheduled released time of 2:41 p.m., according to San Bernardino Sheriff's spokesperson Jodi Miller.
The call was first phoned in around 1 p.m., Victorville Sheriff's station Watch Commander Rosenbaum said.
Students were not allowed to leave the school during the lockdown, and deputies searched the school and the perimeter. Witnesses saw deputies checking trash cans, according to a source at the school who wasn't authorized to talk to the press.
"It's kind of an urgent situation, but so far everything is fine," Elvin Momon, superintendent of Victor Valley Union High School District, said during the lockdown.
Teachers were informed by email that the situation was a drill, with reports that parents also received an automatic phone call indicated a drill was taking place. Teachers were instructed to keep their students in their classrooms until given the all-clear and to refrain from calling the office.
At approximately 2:15 p.m., teachers were informed that security would be visiting classrooms to ask questions and that everyone should stay in the classroom.
No one was harmed during the incident and students were released at the end of the school day.
Momon could not be reached for comment following the lockdown.
The sheriff's department is continuing an investigation, according to Miller. Anyone with information is urged to call sheriff's dispatch at (760) 245-4211 or call WeTip at (800) 78-CRIME.

ColdblackSun Reflector - UV Protector
Dark colors heat up stronger when exposed to direct sunlight compared to light colors. This no longer needs to happen! Now there is coldback, a special finishing technology for textilles which reduces heat build-up and provides reliable prtection from UV rays.
Effective Heat Management
Light colored textiles reflect both visible and invisible rays of sunlight, meaning both heat and light. Dark colored textiles absorb both types of rays and therefor absorb teat coldblack reduces this absorbition of heat rays particulary in the case of darker colors and in all tyes of textiles. The result is tangibly better teat management
Coldblack advantages
- Optional protection from heating up due to sunlight
- Textiles stay cool to the touch
- Reliable protection from UV rays ( minimum UPF 30+)
Reliable Protection from UV Rays
Many textiles worn in the summertime oi exposed to the sun offer poor protection from damaging UV rays. The coldblack technology guarantees a minimum UPF 30+ protection when applied to any textile** In any color without affecting the loof or feel of the product. As a result, textiles with coldblack can make an effective contribution to protecting against harmful UV rays.
** Important: The UPF value can vary depending on structure, thickness and material. It relates to closed textile surface for this reason the UPF factor needs to be determined on the differet textiles. From a minimum of 30* coldblack conformity is guaranteed

Dryton BambooBamboo:
Bamboo fabric has a natural sheen and softness that feels and drapes like slik but is less expensive and more durable Bamboo cothing is easy to lauder in a clothes washer and dryer Because of the smooth and round structure of ist fibre, bamboo clothing is soft and non-irritaiting, even to sensitive skin. Some people with chemical sensitivities can not tolerate bamboo clothing. We are not sure if this intolerance is due to the instrinsuic nature of bamboo but it more likely because of the chemicals added or used during the manufacturing and finishing processes of the clothing. Bamboo is naturally anti-baterical and anti-fungal supposedly because of a bacteriostatis agent unique to bamboo plants called "bamboo kun" which also helps bamboo resist harboring odors. "Kun" is also sometimes spelled "kunh". The bamboo kun in bamboo fabric stops odor-producing bacteria from growing and spreading in the bamboo cloth allowing to be more hygienic and to remain fresher smelling.
Bamboo clothing is hypoallergenic.
Bamboo is highly absorbet and wicks water away from the body 3 to 4 times faster than cotton. In warm, humid and sweaty weather, bamboo clothing helps keep the wearer drier, cooler and more confortable and doesn't stick to the skin. the structure of bamboo fibers make bamboo fabrics more breathable and thermal regulating than cotton, hemp, wool or synthetic fabrics. Bamboo clothing is naturally mor wrinkle-resistant than cotton, and while it might still reqquire ironing after washing, bamboo fabric can be ironed a a lower temperature than cotton. Shrinkage during washing and drying is minimal at warm temperatures. Bamboo fibres and fabrics absorb dyes faster and more thoroughly than cotton, modal and viscose with better color clarity. Bamboo fabrics do not need to be mercerized to improve their luster and dye-abillity like cotton requires. Bamboo the plant and also bamboo the fabric can rate high as an environmentally friendly and renewable resource: Bamboo grows rapidly and naturally without any pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers. Bamboo clothing (both mechanically and chemically manufactured) is 100% biodegradable and can be completely decomposed in the soll by micro-organisms ans sunlight without decomposing into any pollutants such as methane gas which is commonly produced as a by-product of decomposition in landfills and dumps. Growing bamboo improves soll quality and helps rebuild eroded soll. The extensive root system of bamboo holds soll together, prevents soll erosion, and retains water in the watershed. Bamboo grows naturally without the need for agricultural tending and large diesel echaust-spewing tractors to plant seeds and cultivate the soll. Bamboo plantatioms are large factories dor photosynthesis which reduce greenhouse gases. Bamboo pklants absorb about 5 times the amount of carbon dioxide ( a primary greenhouse gas) and produces about 35% more oxygen than an wquivalent stand of trees. Bamboo fabrics and clothing can ben manufactured and produced without any chmeical additives althoigh eco-certification as Oeko-Tex is necessary to insure that the manufacturing and finishing processes are healthy. Currently, there are now known genetically modified organisms (GMO) variants of bamboo. Let's hope it stays taht way.
GORE-TEXGORE-TEX® fabrics lead the industry of technical clothing in the provision of waterproof protection, breathability and durability. The GORE-TEX® membrane is completely water, sleet and at the same time allows for perspiration to pass through it: it is formed by pores which are 20,000 times smaller than a drop of water, but 700 times larger than a molecule of water vapor and therefore, water can't get in, but perspiration can get out. Its durability has been tested and asserted reproducing the most extreme weather conditions in laboratories.
GORE-TEX® PACLITE® is ideal when you need a shell that is truly light, breathable and packable. It offers excellent weather protection as it resists extremely wet conditions; it has the highest level of breathability, is very practical thanks to its low weight and minimum pack volume, and has a very comfortable feel for the wearer. It also has a special protective layer in an oil-repellent substance with carbon that protects the membrane from oils, sprays and cosmetics that could affect its performance.
Organic CottonApperances often deceive - unfortunately. But the truth is that there is little that is natural in cotton if it is cultivated and processed using conventional methods. Conventional cotton cultivation is well-know for ist intensive use of pesticides. Each year around 18% of the entire amount of pesticides used in the world is used for the cultivation of cotton. This high use of chemicals effects not only agriculture but also the further processing of the cotton at almost every production level. But there is an alternative: ORGANIC COTTON. For some yeras cotton growers have been investing in new methods: "organic cotton" is an organic farming product that is subject to continuous and consistent monitoring and for the cultivation of which no use can ben made of chemical fertilizer, pesticides and defollants. the cotton plant is planted at certain intevals as part of an crop rotation cycle, which in turn allows it to retainits natural cycle and biological balance. The new methods also result in reduced water consumption and the overall burder on the enviroment is significantly lower. Naturally no use is made of environmentally-damaging agents and procedures during later processing and end-product production either. Organic growing requires more time, more experience and more effort, and therefore the costs involved are also higher. But it's worth it.

PolarliteThe POLARLITE brand is the symbol of Salewa's long experience and enthusiasm for fleec. The POLARLITE range includes products of varlous weights and characteristics (strech, microfiber, body-mapping, printed shift fabrics) to meet akk the demands og high-altitude outdoor activities.
Polarlite flannel: the new mountaineering shirt
Our shirts very light and warm. The material feels confortable against the skin, is easy to care for and fast-drying. Polarlite flannel gets its characteristics from the hollow fibers used in its manufacture. Polyester hollow fibre is a synthetic fibre which is manufactured with microscopic ait channels running throught the filaments. This gives it grate insulating properies. Through the process of evolution, the polar bear has adapted to life in icy conditions. Its white fur lets sunlight penetrate to the black skin underneath. At the same time, the micron-fine air ducts through the interior of each hair capture and retain the warmth. Air has great insulating properties, and so the bear's body is protected from the cold. the idea of hollow fibres was developed by limitating the hairs in a polar bear's fur. In the course of production, synthetic fibres such as polyester are through a mould before they solidify. The more air that is enclosed, the better the insulating properties. The fibres are mostly between 15 and 20 microns thick, with several running through. The highest insulating properties are however achieved with hollow fibers that feature one single large duct.
PolygieneWhat are the benefits of Polygiene?
- Polygiene inhibits the growth of microorganisms such as bacterial and fungi that cause odor.
- Your garments, footwear and gear will:
- Stay Fresh - Polygiene inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacterial. Odor develops when bacterial settles into the fabric, mixes with sweat and multiplies.
- Hygienic - Less bacterial and fungi in footwear, wetsuits and gear helps reduce tinea infections, such as athlete's foot.
- Enviromentally friendly - Polygiene-treated clothing can be worm for longer periods of time before laudering is required. Therefore less energy, less water and less detergent are used. When traveling or hiking, you can pack less clothing and travel light with less luggage.
- Longer lifetime - Prolongs garment, footwear and gear lifetime by eleminating the bacterial that down synthetic fibers.
- Polygiene treatment is guaranteed to last the lifetime of the garment, footwear or gear.
What is Polygiene and how does it work?
- Polygiene is based on natural silver salt made from recycled silver.
- Silver salt is naturally present both in water (drinking water as wekk as sea water) ad in the soil.
- Polygiene particles have a large amount of silver ions per surface area. Due to the structure of the particles, very small amounts of silver are required. Treating 5,000 garaments or approximately 1,000 kilos of fabric requires the same amount of silver as one or two silver rings.
- Polygiene is applied to the fabric during the finishing stage at the same time as other treatments. This helps minimize impact on the enviroment because additional energy or water is not required.
Safe next to your skin
- Polygiene is active only on the fabric surface and does not interfere with the ski's natural bacterial flora.
- Polygiene particles are more than 100 times larger than nanosilver particles and therefore are too large to pass through the skin. According to scientific research, nanosilver particles can penetrate the skin barrier and interfere with the skin's natural bacterial flora.
- Polygiene has its heritage in the healthcare sector, and Polygiene technology is approved for use on open wounds. It is therefore safe for use next to the skin, even for people with eczema and foot blisters
PowertexPowertex fabric is highly breathablw, wind-and-waterproof, water repellent and durable; it is also light, soft and has a comfortable feel for the wearer, and with all these features, offers an excellent price/quality ratio. During aerobic activities, the Powertex membrane draws away from the body the moisture that is generated and evacuates it, distributing it on the fabric surface reducing internal condensation and making the speed of the evaporation a lot aster; at the same time it prevents outside water to penetrate, therefor keeping the weaer warm, dry and comfortable. Powertex fabrics are available in two, two and a half, and three layers.
Resistex Carbon- continuous filament yam

StormwallStormwall garments are designed to keep the body warm, dry, and confortable; a combination of DWR treatment on the outside and a windproof membrane makes these materials stand up to both water and wind. SILVERSHELL This is the lightest of the Softshell fabrics because it dous not a membrane, but its DWR coating is water repellent and highly breathable. The very light weave makes it windproof. A special fiber countaining silver ions, with superior thermal characteristics, makes it particulary well-suited to aerobic sports, since it prevents the growth of bacterial and the formation of unpleasant odors; its antibacterial properties remain active for the product's entire life span, even after washing.
ThermocoolFeeling too hot or to cold?
We have all experienced these two extreme and contrasting sensations, hot and cold, during the same day or a particular activity and their negative aspects on confort and performance. It is because our activity level, as well as external weather conditions during the same day or during several hours of the same physical exercise change, that the R&D engineers of ADVANSA have created a unique yarn for fabric and cloths offering both technical performances. Warmth when you feel cold and cooling when you feel hot.
ADVANSA Thermo Cool is designed to optimize the body's natural thermoregulation capabillities through smart fibre cross-sections: providing evaporative cooling or thermo buffering according to the wearer's needs.

X-StaticX-Static -- The Silver Fiber
X-static is a fiber made with layer of 99,m9% pure silver, which is permanently bonded to the surface of a textile fiber. It has been used primarily as an industrial and medical product, servicing high-tech industries and the Department of Defense. More recently it has been thrust into consumer product markets as a result of the need foe a safe, natural and effictive antimicrobial solution. X-static is a fiber antimicrobial, all natural, heat transfer, anti-static and therapeutic.
Antimicrobial performance
The antimicrobial performance of X-static has been validated by prestgious institutions troughout the world. Several studies prove that when someone wears a x-static product, the fiber is so effective that sweat actually becomes antimicrobial.
Performance advantages:
Speed_ x-static eliminates 99,9% of bacteria in less than one hour of exposure. Catalyst: the hotter and wetter the enviroment, the more effective X-static becomes. Safe and Natural: X-static is made with pure silver, a naturally accurring element. There are no chemicals and thereis no fear of toxicity for the consumer. Permanent: X-static is not a surface treatment. Silver is irreversibly bound to a polymer so it becomes a physical part of fiber. X-static is permanent and performance does not diminish over time. In fact, X-static has been tested for more than 250 washes with no reduction in antibacterial perfomance.
Bacterial are only one cause of body odor. Ammonia and denatured proteins are also sinificant contributors to odor in apperal and hosiery products. Vebause silver is on of the outside of the fiver, x-static allows for immediate binding with ammonia and denatured proteins resultinf in instant odor reduction.
Antimicrobial perfomances
The antimicrobial performance of X-static has been validated by prestigious institutions throughtout the world. Several studies prove that when someone wears an x-static product, the fiber is so effective that actually becomes antimicrobial.
All- Natural
100% Safe and non-toxic, containing no chemical or presticides
Silver is the most thermally conductive element on the plante. This means that X-static works to quikly and evenly distribute and transfer heat throughout a product.
Moisture Transfer
X-static accelerates the movement of moisture through evaporation. As a result, x-static apparel allows for increased comfort in war weather by minimizing moisture contact with the skin
Silver has an infrared (IR) Reflectivity rating of great than 95%. the highest of any element. In other words, 95%of the radiative energy that contacts silver will be reflected back to its source. As a result, X-static radiative heat loss by actively reflecting the body's energy back to the skin.
Silver has one of the lowest emissivity ratings of any element, which means that it rdiates thermal energy very slowly. Silver will remain for a very long period of time. With X-static apparel designed for cold weather, any heat not reflected back to the body by the fiber will be absorbed and stored in the fiber an extended period of time. As a result, the X-static product will keep the wearmer longer than a passive fiber system.
Moisture Transfare
X-static enhaces the natural movement of moisture through hzdrophobic materials the same waz the bodz does-by using evaporation. When X-static is placed in a most enviroment with another hydrophobic material, the conductivity of the X-static will act to accelerate the evaporation of moisture. As a result, X-static apparel will trasport moisture away from the body faster, allowing for a more confortable environment
Static electricity is a phenomenon called static discharge, or triboelectric changing. Walking across your carpet in regular sicks, which causes two non-conductive materials to rub together, can create in excess 50,000 volts. Dry conditions, such as those that exist during the winter months, and synthetic materials amplify the problem. The only way to minimize or eleminate the problem is to dissipate the electrical changes through a conductive material Silver has the highest electrical conductivity rating of any element. Therefore, X-static, which is coaled with pure silver, will conduct electricity ectremly efficiently. Just a small quantity of X-static in apparel or socks will dissipate triboelectric changes, resulting in static-free, comfortable products
The mechanisms of action in therapeutic devices are electrical and thermal conductivity. Electricity: the body consist of thousands and thousands of nerces that reach the surface of the skin. In fact, the bottom of the foot alone has more than 7.00 nerve endings. The body uses nerves to transmit electrical signals, includig the feeling of pain and discomfort. Because silver is the most conductive element, X-static products will pick up electrical changes on the surface of the skin and dissipate them. The result is less discomfort. Magnetism: whenever electricity passes through a medium, a magnetical field is created. Therefore, when the electrical currents from the body are distributed throughout the X-static fiber, a magnetic field is created around the body. Many prestigous heathcare institutions have recently published studies defending the claim that magnetic products will increase blood flow and reduce swelling.

The funding includes investments in smart grid technologies that modernize the national electric system.Rural Utilities administrator announces electricity and broadband internet projects for unserved areas In addition, the $960 million in USDA loan guarantees will help build 3,587 miles of line, benefit approximately 17,000 rural residential and business customers, and make other system improvements. The announcement brings the total invested in smart grid technologies nationwide during 2013 to $152 million. Broadband services USDA's Padalino also announced14 awards for projects to bring broadband to unserved rural communities. USDA is providing $20.3 million in grants through the Community Connect Grant program. These are the first awards made under the Community Connect program's new guidelines that now allow applicants to fund broadband infrastructure for more than one community, and raise the minimum required speed. Projects funded must deliver broadband at five megabits per second (Mbps). Among the recipients are $3 million awards to two locations in North Dakota, where fiber networks will be installed; several nearly $1 million awards to an Oklahoma telephone company to bring businesses and residential areas higher internet speeds and discounted services to low-income areas; and establishment of a community center in Tennessee that will provide free broadband services to residents for up to two years. Other projects are located in Texas, Nevada, Kentucky, South Carolina and Alaska. For more on the electric projects, click here.

I must say 1st time i ever left a salon totally satisfied...Ruby was awesome she knew exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend her. Staff was professional yet very friendly..
Excellent staff! – I have gone to Ruby's for several years. The Chattanooga salons I previously visited were higher priced and the quality not always up to par! It is a bit out of my way, but well worth my trip! Definetly reccomend Ruby's.
Best stylist around! – The first time I went to Ruby's was because of a bad cut from another salon. I went in and told Ruby exactly what I had told the other salon. She immediately went to work and it was exactly what I wanted and better. Ruby has been my stylist from then on. I have never left Ruby's unhappy. Ruby and the other ladies working there are wonderful! Extremely nice and courteous. Color, cut, nails, whatever...I have always been extremely pleased. I recommend Ruby's to everyone!

text: My youngest daughter, Emily, is 17 and a junior in high school, which means we're intently focused on developing a career path and identifying potential colleges. We've been talking about her interests for some time. She loves science and the outdoors. She's also very bright, task oriented and organized. In eighth grade, she told me she wanted to be an archeologist. Ok, I said, and left it at that. But, as she got older, I prompted her to think a little more about her career…Continue Reading

A man was killed and a woman was injured during a shootout involving a San Antonio police officer on the West Side.
Chief William McManus said the officer, who was on duty, received a call from a female friend around 2 a.m. Friday.
The friend, Abigail Hernandez, was at a nightclub and told the officer her ex-boyfriend, Alfredo Hector Aragon, was threatening her and she feared for her life.
McManus said the officer picked up the woman at the club and drove to her apartment complex on Micron.
"He picks her up, goes to take her home. The boyfriend's waiting at the house or at the apartment. They try to escape (and) he opens fire," McManus said.
The officer fled the apartment complex with Hernandez.
However, according to McManus, the officer ended up shooting and killing Aragon at Aragon's home on Field Wood near Culebra.
"How they got back here, why they got back here, we're not sure just yet," McManus said.
He added that shots may have been fired at three different locations.
During the incident, Hernandez was reportedly shot twice. She was taken to University Hospital and was expected to recover.
McManus said investigators are still trying to sort out several details.
Neither the name of the man killed nor that of the officer has been released.

ADA News
'Stop Zombie Mouth' campaign heats up
The zombies are here!
Just in time for Halloween, the ADA's "Stop Zombie Mouth" campaign is in full swing with members already placing orders for trading cards to distribute in October.
The Association is partnering with PopCap Games, makers of the popular "Plants vs. Zombies" video game, for the campaign to improve oral health habits among children and their families. For many, "Stop Zombie Mouth" offers a fun Halloween-time promotion that serves as an alternative to sugary snacks. The New York State Dental Association requested 200 kits for statewide events.
"As a pediatric dentist, I am always looking for new ways to educate children about the importance of good oral hygiene," said Dr. Mary Hayes, an ADA consumer advisor. "This collaboration with PopCap for Halloween allows us a unique way to share tips for improved oral health, including the importance of a balanced diet."
"Stop Zombie Mouth" kits—free to ADA members—include trading cards with tips to keep teeth healthy and redemption codes for a free Plants vs. Zombies game download. The cards are inspired by the game's "fundead" characters and others developed for the campaign called the "Putrid Posse."
There are 50 sets of cards in a box along with a poster and tent card for office display. The kits are free for members but the ADA is charging a nominal shipping fee. Downloadable coupons are also available from www.stopzombiemouth.com.
Those attending Annual Session in San Francisco can look for the zombies in the ADA Welcome Center, Oct. 18-20 from 10:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m., and at the Oct. 18 Exhibit Hall Wine-Tasting Reception from 4:30-6 p.m. Have your picture taken performing a mock oral screening on a zombie in a dental chair, play a game of Plants vs. Zombies or pick up a "Stop Zombie Mouth" kit to take home.

Bird dogs, feral hogs, dangerous waters, toxic waste: The metaphors we use for immigrants
Photo by sarah .../Flickr (Creative Commons)
You might say that Rep. Steve King of Iowa has a penchant for mentioning immigrants and animals together in the same speech. This week, the Republican congressman has come under fire for talking about the United States drawing the "cream of the crop" in terms of immigrants, not a bad thing in itself, but in the context of breeding bird dogs.
How King was quoted in the New York Daily News, which took it from this video:
"You want a good bird dog? You want one that's going to be aggressive? Pick the one that's the friskiest, the one that's engaged the most and not the one that's over there sleeping in the corner."
In 2008, King invoked another four-footed mammal when demonstrating to lawmakers how to build a border fence with non-lethal electricity. "We do that with livestock all the time," he said. In another fence-related speech from King some time ago, there was also a

A Home Favorite – I used to eat at Louie's during my college years back in 1999-2000. There was nothing like walking over from our late nights at The Varsity to chow on Louie's fare. Now, having moved out of state, anytime I make a return trip home I always re-visit this favorite of mine...and, occasionally, a lucky friend of mine will get to experience it as well, and the end result is always the same...WE LOVE THIS PLACE. I don't care about the lines, or the cramped space...I care about the people, and the awesome diner/greasy spoon/ made with love food that comes from that kitchen. The hashbrowns cooked with green peppers and smothered with cheese are my ultimate, and nothing anywhere else even comes close. This is a little piece of home that I'll always remember and try continuously to spread the word about to anyone who will listen. Thanks for the memories made and memories yet to come, Louie's!!!!
Best place for late-night food and hangout – Most times I've gone to Louie's it's been late at night with a group of friends. It's always jam-packed on the late weekend nights. The food is so good, especially their potatoes - cooked anyway you like them smothered in any number of ingredients. The omelets are also always fresh and tasty.
Meet "Frenchie" and Enjoy the Local Greasy Spoon – Every college town needs its local greasy spoon, where students can chow down on a burger and fries after partying till dawn and where the line is out the door for Sunday brunch. Although it would not stand up to competition (if it had any), Louie's is just that place for LSU and Baton Rouge. The omelettes are excellent, especially with the rich, fluffy homemade biscuits. I've only had dinner there once (a burger) and was not impressed. The food is a bit pricey for what you get: the "Seafood Louie" is $11, which does not compare well with the Shrimp and Crawfish Omlette at IHOP, only $8 and including pancakes. However, nothing beats "Frenchie," the main cook, muttering nonsense in his thick Cajun accent and responding boisterously to predictable proddings from his kitchen team behind the counter.
Late night party – Louies is open 24 hours and thats what its most well known for. After going out, this place becomes the hot spot. The breakfast is good, the coffee is great.
Editorial Review – Twenty-four hour diner serves the late-night college crowd omelets, grits, hashbrowns and pancakes all day, plus burgers, sandwiches, more.
