Inadequate meat content, use of low quality grains, meat products and fat of unidentifiable source, carcinogenic preservative.
This food receives a 1 star rating simply because there is nothing lower.
The primary ingredients in the food are grains (it should be meat!). Brewers rice is a low quality grain and by-product.
The use of whole eggs is appreciated, but as the second ingredient in a dog food is likely to be excessive.
Corn is a problematic grain that is difficult for dogs to digest and thought to be the cause of a great many allergy and yeast infection problems. We prefer not to see this used in dog food.
Poultry meal is a low quality meat product, for which the source in unidentifiable. It is the sole meat product in this food.
Corn appears a second time as corn gluten meal. The AAFCO definition of corn gluten meal is the dried residue from corn after the removal of the larger part of the starch and germ, and the separation of the bran by the process employed in the wet milling manufacture of corn starch or syrup, or by enzymatic treatment of the endosperm. In plain English, that which remains after all the nutritious bits have been removed.
Poultry fat is another ingredient of unidentified origin for which it is impossible to determine source or quality. Unidentified ingredients are usually very low quality. AAFCO define this as obtained from the tissues of poultry in the commercial processes of rendering or extracting. It consists predominantly of glyceride esters of fatty acids and contains no additions of free fatty acids. If an antioxidant is used, the common name or names must be indicated, followed by the words "used as a preservative". We also note that fat in the top four ingredients of a dry dog food has been identified by research at Purdue University as being a factor that increases the risk of bloat in large breed dogs. Smaller breeds are untested.
This food uses chemical preservatives (BHA) which is believed to be carcinogenic, and is banned from use in human food.

Gwen Stefani Teams Up With Target To Bring Babies, Kids & Tweens Her Line, Harajuku Mini!
The stylish star is shrinking her Japanese, anime-inspired line Harajuku Lover's for the toddler and tween set with an affordable collaboration with the mega-brand — get all the details here!
Considering she has two trendy little boys, it was only a matter of time before Gwen Stefani tried her luck with children's fashion. The collection, a new spin on her contemporary line Harajuku Lover's, will be entitled Harajuku Mini for Target, with clothing for babies and children ranging from $3.99 to $29.99. It's set to hit Target stores and the brand's website on Nov. 13 and again in January 2012.
"Harajuku Mini is a dream come true," Stefani told WWD. "I've always wanted to do a cool children's fashion line inspired by the supercute and playful kid's clothing you find in Japan. The whole idea is about being creative, expressing your own individuality and having fun getting dressed. Target has given me the creative freedom to design kid's clothing that is different than most anything you usually see out there with great quality, attention to detail and most of all, available at amazing prices."
While I can't wait to scoop up cute pieces for my nieces, I'm hoping Gwen brings her L.A.M.B line to Target next!

Walk like an Egyptian
Port Vale ace Sam Morsy reveals his international ambitions in our latest League Two spotlight.
By League Two Spotlight
Last Updated: 27/05/13 11:46am
The 2012/13 campaign is now well under way, with divisions beginning to take shape.
Here at Sky Sports we will look to take you to the very heart of the Football League over the coming months, with our Spotlight features intended to give you a greater insight into the clubs and players that keep us on the edge of our seats.
We hope to bring you the views and thoughts of a representative from each of the 72 teams over the course of the season, with those involved asked to give their take on the division they compete in, the club that pays their wages and those we should all be keeping an eye on.
Port Vale ace Sam Morsy talks to Graeme Bailey and reveals his international ambitions in our latest League Two spotlight.
You began your career with your home town club Wolves. Are they your club, is that where you always wanted to be?
Yeah it was really, my older brother who is three years older played for Wolves when he was young and I got into it from there and I signed for them when I was 8, and my real ambition was to play for Wolves but it did not work out for whatever reason and at 16 I moved.
Was that a massive disappointment for you?
It was a big disappointment back then but I didn't really take it as serious as I do now, but in a way it was a blessing as it made me realise that I don't want to be in that position again, it was gutting for me but made me stronger.
You were picked up quickly by Port Vale and within 12-months you were on the verge of the first team, which is remarkable progress?
Bill Chetwyn [Vale youth development boss] brought me in and I had other options with Derby and Crewe, but with Port Vale speaking to Andy Porter , who was the youth team manager at the time, I knew that if I was good enough I would get the chance at Port Vale so I got my head down and within 12-months I was on the verge of the first-team.
Since you got into the first-team, you have gone from strength to strength...
I got my chance, but I have worked hard and done a lot of extra work - my former youth boss Mark Grew became assistant and that helped me too, but I have had the chance this season and played every game bar one and I have enjoyed myself and am happy with my form.
How would you class yourself, a midfield enforcer, box to box or a goal scorer?
I would not say that I am box to box as I do see myself as an enforcer, but I do try and get into the box and get on the end of things, I like to do all that.
You have over 50 first-team appearances now, so you are gaining big experience already?
I have managed to notch a few appearances over the last few seasons and even though I came to the team late last year, half-way-through. but this season I am delighted to have started the year well and think I have got stronger and stronger.
Obviously there has been speculation about your future in recent weeks with clubs being linked, no doubt you're getting a bit of stick from the lads, but that is a sign you're playing well?
It is one of those things that happens in football, if your performances attract interest it is always a positive, but I get good advice and I keep my feet on the ground and I am striving to improve.
We read you're a Man United fan, surely not true?
Well it is fairly true, my older brother is - I am actually a Barcelona fan! I have three older brothers and they got me into those when I was young and one of those was always a Barcelona fan.
Your name as Sam is a nickname, as your full name is Sammy Sayed, where does that come from?
My dad is from Egypt, and I am half Egyptian - so I am qualified for them.
Is that something you would look at?
Yeah definitely, I think that it would be a great opportunity if I could get through to something there, and something I definitely want to do and I think it would be great.

Posts Tagged 'Indochine Vietnamese Bistro'
Bánh Mì in SLC – Indochine Vietnamese Cafe
I completed my quest for local bánh mì on Friday at Indochine Vietnamese Bistro across the street from the U campus. I arrived just about 3pm, which is when they stop serving the sandwich, but had called ahead to let them know that I'd be coming in and to place my order. Although as I began asking around in local Vietnamese restaurants for recommendations and had heard Indochine mentioned several times as an option, when I first checked the menu, there was no mention of bánh mì. The express lunch menu does mention a baguette sandwich, however. Maybe the fact that they didn't use that name for it was an augur of things to come.
When I placed the order, I was offered options of beef or pork. Since all the sandwiches I'd had so far had been pork, I figured that was the way to go. Here's the short version of the review: I wasn't pleased.
The bread used for the sandwich differs greatly from any that I'd seen so far. In fact, I'm fairly sure I recognized them as coming from a local Costco bakery. They are very dense, artisan loaves which have a very uneven texture and are extremely chewy. They are perfect for soaking with garlic oil and broiling to go with a nice Italian meal. I'm actually a real fan of these little loaves for other applications, and have tried using them in a variety of meals over the years. They are a bit of a nightmare for a sandwich, though, and for this sandwich in particular. The bread is so dense that it overwhelms the taste of all of the other sandwich fillings.
The pork used for Indochine's sandwich is extremely sweet. It had been described to me as "roast pork," but after looking at it closely, I had other suspicions. It was extremely fatty in an unpleasing way. I suspect it might be poorly cooked pork belly, but I'm not sure. If you told me that it was a lightly smoked, thick-cut bacon marinated in Yoshida's sauce, that would just about make sense. At any rate, I could have used a lot less fat and gristle and much more lean meat. The flavor of the meat was good, however. There was no sign of any other protein on the sandwich, an automatic ding against it for a pate lover such as I.
The vegetation was spare. On its own it had that distinctive pickled taste, but between the heavy bread and the fat-saddled pork, it got completely lost. Indochine's sandwich did add in some thinly sliced scallion on top, but there wasn't so much as a leaf of cilantro to be seen. There were several slices of fresh jalapeno. However, they were so thickly cut that the three bites that contained them were completely dominated with heat, while the rest of the sandwich had none.
And that is it. No mayonnaise, no pate, nothing. It is served with some nicely seasoned matchstick fried potatoes which were, I suspect, supposed to be crispy. Mine appeared to have been sitting long enough that half were soggy, sorry messes and the others were still crisp. However, at over $6, this sandwich is by far the most expensive one I've encountered since San Francisco. And, since it is only a couple of dollars cheaper than the gourmet-inspired one at Spice Kit, the Indochine sandwich suffers badly in comparison to it. Had it come close in quality to the ones on the west side, I could see a case to be made for paying a bit extra for those who live close to the U campus. It doesn't, so if you're wanting a good bánh mì, you'll need to drag yourself to Redwood Road.
Which leaves only one question: Cafe Thao Mi or Hong Phat? Since there were several weeks between my sampling both of them, I think I'll put off that call until I can get the two of them next to each other and conduct a real bun-to-bun comparison.
Bánh Mì in SLC – Cafe Thao Mi
The latest stop in my quest for a local bánh mì to rival the $8 ones I had in San Francisco took me back over to the west side to Carriage Square. There are a few areas in Utah that fascinate me, as they were clearly created by the same developer with some sort of chain in mind. I grew up in Sandy and there is a nearly identical shopping area called Union Square. Same layout, with a long L-shaped row of buildings tracing one boundary of the property, a block of buildings facing it from the opposite corner bordering 4100 S and Redwood Road, and parking between them. There was more than one business I frequented in Union Square – Winchell's Donuts chief among them – so as I drive into Carriage Square, it always feels somewhat familiar.
Cafe Thao Mi is on the south side of the square. My wife and daughter hung out in the car while I ran in. I realized on the way in that I didn't check to make sure they do orders to go. I needn't have worried, as their menu is a big, deli-style board on the wall. There was a group before me waiting, so I took a look around the menu.
It is huge. Although I didn't get through the entire thing before it came time to order, there were definitely some tantalizing dishes on it that merit further investigation. The section that I was interested in is on the top left. There are at least half a dozen bánh mì variations available, all differing in the protein on the sandwich. Since my wife and I were sharing, I chose the special combination with pork roll, pate, jamon, and grilled pork and one with just pork roll. My wife and I had just been talking about how much we miss the green papaya salad and spring rolls from Out the Door, and I notice several kinds of spring rolls on the menu, but opt for just the sandwiches since we're heading to a birthday party where there will be food.
As has been the trend thus far in Salt Lake, the sandwiches are a bargain. They are on the menu for $2.80 each, so for $6 even I'm out the door with two of them.
The bread used to make these sandwiches were smaller than those at either Hong Phat or Tay Do. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, though, as it means a better filling-to-bread ratio. As with both of the other sandwiches, I could have used a bit more of the pickled vegetation on mine. The meats were delicious, but I strongly preferred the complexity of the combination over the pork roll. I also really liked the pate on the sandwiches we had. It had a much bolder flavor than those at the other two bánh mì stores.
After the sandwiches were gone, I really regretted not grabbing some spring rolls. I'll definitely be back to explore that big, beautiful menu.
As for which sandwich I preferred overall, I'm going to have to do some additional tasting. Once I get a Hong Phat and a Cafe Thao Mi next to each other and compare head-to-head, I'll update. But before that, I've got one last place to hit: Indochine Vietnamese Bistro across from the U campus.
Bánh Mì in SLC
Spice Kit could have easily ruined me.
The pedigree of the bánh mì sandwich is more Banksy than Botticelli. A strange mash-up that reflects the history of Vietnam, it features an away team of French elements like crusty bread, mayonnaise, and liver pate coupled with roast pork, pickled vegetables, and greens from the Vietnamese home team. The combination of fatty umami from the pate and pork and acid from the pickled daikons and carrots makes for a nice balance in good hands. It's also easy to see how this became popular street food, as it is a sandwich containing an ingredient list that can be prepared ahead of time and assembled into the final sandwich to order.
Unfortunately for me, my first bánh mì experience came by way of Thomas Keller and Ron Siegel. Two of their proteges, Will Pacio and Fred Tang, are behind Spice Kit. And while it might make some sense having two French-trained chefs making a sandwich that has some Gallic roots, the bánh mì at Spice Kit bears all the delicious indicia of its fine dining origins.
That being said, it did set me on the path to find a local version of the sandwich. After a bit of calling around, the universally praised option came first.
Hong Phat
3086 S Redwood Rd
West Valley City, UT 84119
This tiny market on the west side of Salt Lake City appears to be a converted convenience store. There was a distinctively fishy smell that hit me as I entered, the source of which was presently clear: there's a large fish counter in the back, as well at least two live crustacean selections housed in boxes on the ground. I hung a right at the counter and was at their hot food area.
I was surprised at the large selection available here. Next time I stop by, I'll need to avail myself of some of the tasty looking spring rolls. This trip is all about the sandwich, though. I noted that there are several versions, so I may have to branch out and give others a try in the future, but I figured it made sense to start with the house special.
The house special version is their number four. I ordered one and when she looked confused and asked a question that I didn't understand, I clarified by holding up four fingers. The prep area for the food is miniscule. It's actually difficult to fathom how all of the food under the heat lamps could possibly have been made in the tiny kitchen. After a few minutes, she handed me a rather large bag and, on peering inside, I saw that there are many more than one sandwich. Thinking she may have mixed my order up, I clarified that I only ordered one. She separated one from the pack, puts it into a bag, and I was off to pay up front.
It was only when I was driving and about five blocks away that I realized what had happened: when I held up four fingers to her question that I didn't catch, she took that to mean that I wanted four sandwiches. Since they were a steal at $3 each, I feel horrible at the mix up and wish I'd paid for them all.
And then I took the first bite and felt bad that I hadn't paid for all of them for a whole different reason. That is one seriously tasty sandwich. It comes wrapped in a small piece of parchment to hold the fixings inside, secured around the sandwich with the rubber band. The bread roll is huge. Once I started eating, though, it's clear that it is mostly air and probably even less bread substance than in your average deli sandwich.
The fillings are deliciously balanced. I love the pate they are using but didn't get a chance to ask if they made in house. The pickled veggies are crisp if a bit sparse and are dominated by daikon and cucumber. In fact, I could have used more fillings in general to compliment the massive roll. Then again, my standard of comparison cost over $8 at Spice Kit, so for the price, this is plenty of food for the cost. I would probably have ordered two and ordered extra peppers had I not been on my way to a second purveyor.
Tay Do Supermarket
3825 S Redwood Rd
Salt Lake City, UT 84119
My experience at Tay Do Supermarket was less enjoyable. Although the rather large structure houses a much more spacious and organized market that has about 75% less stank on it, the product just didn't measure up. I wandered through the store to the service counter in the back. The lone woman working a rather well-appointed deli area asked me to wait while she finished up making a bubble tea for the lone other customer.
Ten minutes later she was ready to take my order. Yes, ten minutes. One would think she was out back splitting durian by hand or something, but as far as I could tell, she was simply applying whipped cream to the concoction. When she finally took my order, I asked for their house special with extra pate. She looked rather annoyed, and wandered into the back area. Another five minutes later, she walked to the front counter where, if I'm not mistaken, she grabbed a sandwich from off the counter that appeared to have already been prepared and wrapped in plastic wrap. I guess somebody must have employed remote viewing skills to presage my interest in extra pate when making the sandwich before I arrived.
The sandwich cost $.50 less than at Hong Phat. It was about half as enjoyable. The pork loaf substance that was used instead of roasted pork was fairly terrible even by packaged lunch meat standards. The vegetation was sparse and barely pickled at all. There was a rather lush application of cilantro, but it was enough that it nearly overpowered the taste of meat. Tay Do uses a rather more spongy bread than Hong Phat, or perhaps it just seemed that way after having sat in the plastic wrap for a mysterious period of time. I'll not be back to investigate.
I still have a couple of locations to visit before I call my search for perfection complete: I'm told that Cafe Thao Mi in Carriage Square and Indochine Vietnamese Bistro up by the U of U campus both make bánh mì, so I'll plan to update when I visit both places. But at this point, if Hong Phat ends up being the best I find locally, I'll be a pretty happy camper.

A supervisor may allow an employee to receive up to five paid working days of funeral leave for an equally significant other person not included in this definition.
- Leave for Job-Related Illnesses and Injuries. University staff and faculty on twelve-month appointments who suffer an injury or illness in the line of duty covered by workers' compensation are granted up to ninety (90) work days of paid injury leave. These benefits replace the more limited coverage of workers' compensation insurance which is waived by the employee during the ninety (90) days of injury leave. If an employee is unable to return to work after that time, he/she is eligible to take accrued vacation and sick leave in addition to workers' compensation.
- Leave Without Pay. University staff and twelve-month faculty may be granted leave without pay for valid reasons for a period of up to twelve months. Such leaves must be approved by the employee's supervisor and the hiring authority. Leave without pay, except furloughs, will not be granted until all vacation leave is exhausted, unless otherwise requested by the employee and approved by the supervisor. Extensions beyond the initial twelve-month period must be approved by the applicable hiring authority in consultation with a human resources office. During periods of leave without pay, except for military leave and furloughs, the employee does not accrue vacation and sick leave.
- Military Leave. Use of military leave shall be consistent with state and federal laws. Upon presentation of proper military orders, university staff or a faculty member on a twelve-month appointment who is a reservist or member of the National Guard is granted up to 15 calendar days of leave with pay to attend training and/or active duty service ordered. This leave is not charged to vacation leave.
If military service continues beyond 15 calendar days, the employee will be placed on military leave without pay for any remaining period of required military service. An employee on military leave continues to accrue vacation and sick leave.
An appointing authority may authorize pay equal to the difference between the employee's university monthly pay and the sum of the monthly military pay and allowances for an employee called to active military duty. Such differential pay shall not exceed 90 calendar days and applies after exhaustion of the 15-day paid military leave. The employee must furnish a copy of the call-to-duty order and proof of military pay and allowances. This differential pay does not apply to regular military obligations such as the annual encampment and training.
University staff or faculty member on a twelve-month appointment who voluntarily enters military service is granted military leave without pay until the end of the initial period of service, plus any period of additional service imposed by law. If the employee fails to return to the university after this period or voluntarily extends military service beyond the initial period, the employee is considered to have resigned.
- Parental Leave. Parental leave benefits may be granted to university staff and twelve-month faculty.
- Administrative Leave. Paid administrative leave may be granted to university staff or faculty on twelve-month appointments in accordance with the university's administrative policy statement.
- Leave Sharing. University staff and faculty on twelve-month appointments may participate in leave sharing programs as established by each chancellor or the president for their particular organizational units, pursuant to standards established by the president through an administrative policy statement. Approvals of requests made to leave sharing programs are subject to the university's sole discretion; meeting eligibility criteria does not constitute an entitlement to paid leave requested through any leave sharing program.
- Furloughs. Furloughs are unpaid leaves that may be voluntarily requested or mandated by the president or a chancellor when budgetary circumstances require a specific reduction in personnel costs. Employees on furlough continue to accrue annual and sick leave at the same rates as when such employees are on paid leave or engaged in university work during regularly scheduled business hours.
4. Verification of Leave Accruals and Recording Leave Usage
- Each supervisor is responsible for maintaining accurate and complete vacation and sick leave records for personnel within his/her department or unit. The department will maintain the official record of vacation and sick leave. These records will be used to verify leave benefits involved in termination, retirement, or transfer. This record must accompany termination papers for payment of annual leave.
- The University of Colorado Human Resources Management System (HRMS) will serve as a repository for vacation and sick leave accruals and usage. By the beginning of each fiscal year, every employee and supervisor shall verify leave balances. No employee has the authority to verify the accuracy of his/her own vacation and sick leave record.
- For university staff or faculty on twelve-month appointments, claims for termination, retirement, or transfer of benefits based on accrued unused sick leave or vacation time will only be honored on the basis of records verified as of May 1, 2001, and annually thereafter.
- Each supervisor is responsible for ensuring that these policies for vacation, sick leave, and other leaves for university staff and faculty on twelve-month appointments are applied in a consistent manner and in consultation with appropriate human resources personnel, where necessary, to achieve substantial uniformity across all campuses of the University of Colorado.
The term "officer and exempt professional" was replaced with the term "university staff" effective April 17, 2015.
Regent Policy 11-H Leave Policies, adopted 5/9/02, and revised 05/19/09. The current revisions incorporate the provisions of Regent Policy 11-J Parental Leave for Faculty, Officers and Exempt Professionals, recommended for rescission. As part of the 05/19/09 resolution, the board authorized staff to reformat and renumber the sections contained in Policy 11. This policy is now listed at Policy 11-E.

I loved this "swirl" pattern so much I started a bedspread from a similar pattern ten years ago. I'm still working on it... not very diligently, obviously. But I love this doily!
I like the shape of this doily, reminds me of something you'd set a butter dish on.
Someone did a lovely job on this dresser scarf. The picture does not do the embroidery justice, and the crocheted border is so vibrant and lively!
And one of my very favorite sets from the Doily Box -
This is probably a couch set, with the two birds in the center for the back of the couch and the two smaller birds on either side for the arms. It blows my mind that anyone would want to sell this, but I'm always willing to give an orphaned doily a good home! Below, a close up of the larger piece -

Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithms are used to obtain maximum efficiency out of a photovoltaic system. The peak observed in a characteristic current-voltage (IV) curve is called maximum power point and having the photovoltaic array operate in or around this maximum power point at all times is most efficient.
However, the load of the photovoltaic array always varies, as does the sunlight intensity, so the problem of operating at maximum power point becomes even more complex. To achieve MPP operation under varying sunlight and loading conditions, we need a smart controller.
This video aims to provide an overview on the importance of using MPPT algorithms while showing examples in Simulink®.

'Krampon' by Shogo Aratani Architect & Associates is a house on a rocky slope in Hyogo, Japan. A residential area where vestiges of nature still remain, the site is situated on sloped land amid a natural forest.
"Two large trees with beautifully shaped branches (one is a camphor tree and the other a cherry tree) stand on top of the site. These trees are integrated into the residential design." says Shogo Aratani.
The entire site is steeply sloped and the gap between the top and the bottom is approximately 11 meters. The ground is composed of an extremely hard rock bed. "Considering these landscape conditions, we decided to place volumes along the sloped ground to minimize excavation."
"In order to provide the best view, the main spaces are located on the top floor and the other interior spaces are connected along the slope down to the street level. We designed the spatial sequence in relation to the landscape by placing three volumes along contour lines."
"The upper volume is placed right underneath the two large trees. A skylight is provided in the living room to see the trees above. The volume on the north is allocated for bathroom. The volume on the lower level contains private rooms on the first floor and a wood-decked terrace on the roof, accessible from the living room. We place stairs with the same inclination as the ground at the intersection of the three volumes. The stair space is used as a library, while the stairs are designed to accommodate a large number of books."
A sizeable volume of rock was excavated upon construction of the garage and then reused as exterior finish on pavements and steps along the entryway.

Maurice Fallon, Hordur Johannsson and John Leonard in MIT have been working on methods for 3D localization using RGB-D data from the Microsoft Kinect - KMCL.
First an entire building floor of the Stata Center was captured using a Kinect. The data was then used to build a simple plane-based 3D model using PCL (and sensor poses from Lidar-based SLAM) of about 1MB in size.
They then developed a robust algorithm for localization within the model in real-time using a particle filter.
The approach works by generating simulated range images using the 3D model for a virtual camera located the different particle poses. This approach correctly simulates the image formation model and allows for a disparity parameterized likelihood function. This allows the filter to correctly utilize the very noisy RGB-D points up to 20 meters away - data that has usually been discarded up to this.
Particles are propagated using the FOVIS Visual Odometry library - so no wheel odometry or IMU was required.
Implicitly the approach is robust to dynamic objects and people in the environment, but given the use of the RGB-D sensors such challenges could be explicitly supported by alternative detectors.
As the approach utilizes the GPU for scene rendering and depth buffering (via OpenGL), the approach is efficient: allowing for real-time operation with 100s of particles. This allows for broad exploration of the particle cloud around the source location: resulting in robust localization 6-DOF.

This new addition to the Rubino Series addresses the need for a very strong tire that is capable of handling the worst of road conditions, without sacrificing the performance the all-round range is known for.
The Vittoria Rubino Pro Control with the new G+ graphene triple compound is a new addition to the Vittoria Rubino series. The Pro Control is a stronger version of the regular Rubino Pro and is made to handle the worst road conditions. To make this tire stronger, the sidewalls are made stronger with an extra layer of casing material and a thicker layer of rubber to protect the casing against cuts.
Graphene is a revolutionary material in the form of a very thin, nearly transparent sheet of pure carbon. In its extreme form it is as thin as a single atom (1/100,000,000th of a metre). Vittoria used Directa Plus Graphene called G+, which is 2 to 8 atoms thin.
The Benefits of Graphene
Vittoria and Graphene ITS and No Compromise
With the application of Graphene in Vittoria wheels & tyres, we have truly developed revolutionary products. Therefore, we have created a new product range called the "Intelligent Tyre System" (ITS)
Vittoria tyres are now intelligent. ITS compounds become harder and softer, depending on the needs of the rider. If the tyre is rolling straight, the rubber is at its hardest and offers low rolling resistance. If the rider breaks, accelerates or corners, the compounds soften and offer significantly more grip. Prior to the advanced development of Graphene, there was always the requirement of choosing between optimising, or aiming at, speed, grip, durability and puncture protection. Effectively, the introduction of Graphene allows for natural material barriers of rubber to be removed, which means that there is no longer the need for such compromises between speed, grip, durability and puncture resistance. All these features are now reaching their maximum possibilities.
Cotton Casing
Vittoria is the world's leading manufacturer of tyres with cotton Corespun casing. The sublime performance of Vittoria tyres and tubulars is the product of years of experience. R&D, and advance production technology. At its heart is our mastery of fine-cotton Corespun production. Simply put, the finer the Corespun fabric, the more supple the tyre casing. The casing conforms closer to the roads surface, providing a smoother ride, easier rolling, and better grip. The grade of fabric used in a tyre's casing is expressed in threads-per-inch (TPI): the higher the TPI number, the finer the threads, the denser the weave, and the suppler the tyre. Uniquely, Vittoria makes casings with 320 TPI Corespun yarn – the finest available.
Vittoria cotton casings differ in thread size and additive content, according to intended use:
**Trademark of Du Pont de Nemours
Nylon Casing
Nylon is a robust and durable artificial fibre traditionally used for strong tyre casings. The artificial fibre can be very light but is not as supple as Corespun. Our Nylon casings set a new standard in their class. Vittoria offers casings in Nylon 180 TPI, 150 TPI, 120 TPI, Nylon 60 TPI and Nylon 26 TPT, each equipping tyres at its respective point on the price-performance scale, and all conferring the Vittoria characteristics of comfort, speed and good handling.
G+ Isotech®*
Vittoria's unique Graphene compound with revolutionary G+*, as provided by technology partner Directa Plus. No compromise is necessary with this compound that is superior in speed (rolling resistance), grip, durability and wear resistance.
4 Compounds (4C)
Exclusively developed by Vittoria to achieve performance products without compromise. Vittoria 4C is a layering process, using 4 separate compounds in the same thread. The 4C process offers unmatched versatility, by allowing for separate base and surface compounds, in both the centre and side areas of the tread. Benefiting from the different properties of each compound, including the G+ Isotech, their distribution is extensively tested to deliver the best products imaginable.
3 Compounds (3C)
Applied by Vittoria to deliver all-round products without compromise. Vittoria 3C is a layering process, using 3 separate compounds in the same tread. The different properties of each compound, including the G+ Isotech, allow for the improved experience in all circumstances.

Throughout the year, 4 large-scale planting events translated into 10 critical acres restored – that's 144,000 plants that will provide valuable habitat and help to slow shoreline erosion! Our restoration projects took us to many beautiful areas throughout the Chesapeake Bay. The planting season kicked off just outside of Cambridge, on Maryland's Eastern Shore. In May, fifty-two volunteers and 90 students joined us on Barren Island to plant 3 acres of restored offshore habitat, created from repurposed dredge material. The marsh grasses we provided are a huge part of the recipe that turns dredge material into viable wetland habitat, making it possible to rebuild islands that have dramatically eroded over the last century. Poplar Island is a similar restoration project off of Tilghman Island MD, in the central region of the Bay. Dredge material is again being used to rebuild the severely eroded Island to its original 1000 acres. The Aquarium Conservation Team, along with 268 volunteers and students, planted 3 acres of wetland grasses on the island in June. As more dredge material is brought in and settles into plant-able areas, the National Aquarium will continue to return to the island to be a part of the restoration process. The next Poplar Island planting project is expected to take place in the summer of 2011. Click here to learn more about Poplar Island and the beneficial use of dredge material. In 2009 the Aquarium built upon a long-standing partnership with Eastern Neck National Wildlife Refuge in northern Kent County, MD. The project involved restoring critical waterfowl habitat by protecting Hail Point, an isthmus that separates Hail Creek and the Chester River. The living shoreline planted by a group of 51 volunteers and students in September will be instrumental in protecting submerged aquatic vegetation in Hail Creek. These underwater grasses are a large part of the reason Eastern Neck is considered one of the five best waterfowl habitats in Maryland. The final planting project of the year took the Conservation Team out of the muck and onto the dunes; earlier this month we visited Naval Air Station Oceana-Dam Neck Annex, near Virginia Beach, VA. The base operates along miles of coastline, and the erosion of sand dunes can compromise their buildings and operations, leaving them vulnerable to storm surge and saltwater intrusion. Aquarium staff, ACT!, and local volunteers planted native dune grasses that will stabilize the dunes as their roots take hold. This will benefit not only the Department of Defense, but also the numerous plant and animal species that call these coastal areas home. For information on how you can get involved with our restoration efforts, please click here.

text: As we welcome the start of the New Year, the Aquarium Conservation Team (ACT!) would also like to take a moment to reflect back on a successful end to 2010. The National Public Lands Day event at Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine on September 25 was a great wrap-up for our 2010 Field Days. Led by our experienced ACT! members, 189 volunteers spent their Saturday morning removing 20,000 pieces of debris from the Inner Harbor. Since 1998, Aquarium volunteers have collected more than 12 million pieces of debris from this small wetland! In October, we spent a week at Naval Support Facility Indian Head in Charles County, Maryland. With the help of 50 volunteers, we restored nearly a mile of riparian buffer along the Potomac River. We were very pleased to work with not only local community members, but also AmeriCorps volunteers from the Maryland Conservation Corps, and quite a few volunteers and staff from the National Aquarium Institute. It's a good thing we had so much dedicated help, because the event involved planting 1,850 trees – and we're not talking seedlings! The shoreline is now home to a healthy mix of sweet bay magnolia, river birch, black willow, sycamore, and several other riparian species. We will be returning to Indian Head to plant marsh grasses along the lower intertidal area of the rebuilt shoreline in the spring. Sign up to receive email from our Conservation team about upcoming events. In early November, we switched gears and traveled to Virginia Beach to continue our work restoring the dunes at area naval bases. This trip involved planting 7,000 native dune grasses at JEB Little Creek and 20,000 grasses at NASO Dam Neck. Over the course of four days, we had the help of nearly 150 volunteers – they included dedicated ACT! members, base personnel, local school groups, community members, and partners from the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center. In total, ACT! planted 50,030 grasses and trees in 2010. Of course, we could not have done it without the help of 731 wonderful volunteers! Many thanks to all of you who spent time with us restoring the Chesapeake Bay watershed, and we hope to see you in 2011.

Noir Kei Ninomiya Socks
For Tokyo designer Kei Ninomiya, the creation process is the source of inspiration: elements of surprise and unexpected results that arise during garment construction. The former Comme des Garçons designer and patternmaker started his womenswear line in 2012, focusing on a sole color: black. Explored in a stunning range of shades, textures, and materials, black acts as a blank canvas for the intricate techniques Ninomiya employs in his quest for new ways to approach clothing forms. Laser cutting, metal hardware, detailed pleating, experimental knits, and other DIY-inspired fabrications transform tulle, leather, pearls, and jersey into adventurous executions of a design philosophy rooted in process.
There are currently no products available for Noir Kei Ninomiya Socks.

Heinz Field - Pittsburgh PA.
It's playoff time !!
The Jaguars head up to freezing Pittsburgh for a Wildcard Playoff showdown. These 2 teams met back in week 15, a game the Steeler defense would just rather forget as Fred Taylor had his usual big game against us running for 147 ydsand coupled with Maurice Jones-Drew; it was just too much for the defense to handle and Jacksonville prevailed as the first team to beat the Steelers at home this year.
The Steelers come in limping into this game having gone 1-3 in December and on the injury front many key players are banged up or missing. Marvel Smith and Max Starks are both out for this game so it's trial by fire for backup Trai Essex. The Jags will test the Steelers early and often you can bet on that so it's up to the big hogs up front to protect Ben and keep the pressure off while opening up lanes for Najeh Davenport to run through. With Parker out the burden falls on Najeh, Carey Davis, Gary Russel and Verron Haynes.
For the Steelers to prevail in this game it will be paramount for Ben to have protection and for them to jump out early and take control of this game from the outset. If they can make the Jags one dimensional it will go a long way towards a win and advancing to the Divisional round. It's playoff time in Pittsburgh and anything can happen. For the Steelers they will be wired up to inflict some pain of their own on the Jags and avenge the earlier loss while sending the Jags home.
Join us here for the game as we cheer on the Steelers in the wildcard round saturday night !!

Warkworth Satellite
This is how it feel like when trying to capture the milkyway. She was playing hide and seek behind those clouds 😉
The clouds came rolling in
I was really surprise how high up the milky way was which make shooting this hall with the arch a little bit more harder. The moon was also out towards my back, it wasn't a full moon, but a crescent 🌙 and it was bright enough to light up the path. .
With everything all set, put the tripod low and start shooting a 4x4 landscapes. It wasn't a perfect arch but happy with the result.
