Rory McIlroy has sacked his agent – just months after Dublin-based Conor Ridge made him a multi-millionaire with the biggest Nike sponsorship deal in the history of sport.
Like former girlfriend Holly Sweeney, Ridge and his Horizon company have been discarded by the two time major winner after his early season struggles to find form.
The shock news was confirmed by fellow golfer and Horizon client Graeme McDowell after reports in the Irish Independent newspaper.
Ridge has yet to comment publicly on the split after McIlroy decided to take control of his own destiny with the help of his dad Geoffrey and some 'close' friends.
McIlroy spent just 18 months with Ridge's Horizon group after he ditched English manager Chubby Chandler.
During that time he rose to number one in the world rankings and signed a $250million deal to join Tiger Woods in the Nike stable.
Speaking at a tournament in Bulgaria, McDowell said: "Rory's made a decision about his management structure, for whatever reasons I don't know. I really haven't seen much of him for the last few months, our schedules have been quite different.
"But management is a funny thing. I always think when things are maybe not going 100pc on the golf course, it's natural to question everything you're doing.
"I've been through periods in my career where I've questioned absolutely everyone around me – caddies, coaches, girlfriends, mums and dads and management structures. I made the jump from Chubby to Horizon.
"It certainly was a turning point in my pro career. They've done a phenomenal job for me for the past five or six years. I've never looked back since then and I'm very happy with what I'm doing.
"But when the stakes get high and the pressure is on, the old caddies and coaches normally are the first to go. I guess management companies probably are not too far down that pecking order either. Let's be honest, it's a fickle sport."
McDowell did admit his own disappointment at McIlroy's decision after encouraging him to join the Horizon stable.
He added: "From what I hear from the boys, it's a fairly amicable break-up. He wants to go and do his own thing and surround himself with family, that's fair enough.
"Horizon can be proud of their association. You've just got to look at the job they've done for Rory as he won his second Major title and got to world No 1.
"You can't knock his results over the past 18 months nor the job they did for 'Brand Rory'; the partnerships he got off the golf course; the money he's making off the golf course; he signed the biggest deal ever in the sport with Nike at the end of last year.
"Business-wise, the guy's in the best shape he's ever been in his life. For whatever reason, his golf struggled early in the season, but I'm pretty sure the management company weren't giving him lessons, caddying for him or telling him how to play. That's kind of his own deal.
"Sometimes when we're not on our game, I'm not going to say we make wrong decisions, but we have a tendency to question everything in our lives.
"It's a high-stakes, high-pressure scenario and something has got to give now and again."
McDowell continued: "Rory's parents Gerry and Rosie are great and I know Caroline Wozniacki and Rory potentially want to do a foundation together.
"Life changes and Rory's life is not in Ireland anymore. That was kind of the good thing about Horizon for him at one point, I suppose, but who knows?
"The No 1 players in the world typically go out on their own and do their own thing. Greg Norman and Nick Faldo, Tiger to a certain extent. Life and business goes on."

IN WIN Fanqua Review
IN WIN might not be the first name that comes to mind when you are looking for a new computer case, but they are a company that has been around since 1986 and since their introduction onto the scene they have become the leading provider of enclosure solutions to system integrators worldwide. IN WIN is also not just limited to the computer chassis market, they also produce power supplies and digital storage devices. In the last few years IN WIN has also been collecting a few awards for their products such as the 2008 iF product design award, 2009 red dot design award and just last month the IN WIN Maelstrom case was awarded the highly coveted OCC Silver award. So even though they might not be the first company that comes to mind for computer cases, they have a long history and a more than a few quality products under their belt.
Today we are going to be taking a look at the new IN WIN Fanqua. The Fanqua is designed to be a computer case that includes enough features to make demanding users happy and still come in at a very affordable price. IN WIN has named the case after six important features that they have incorporated into the design of the Fanqua. These features are Fan, Airflow, Neat, Quality, User-friendly and Affordable. When you look at some of the features the case offers you can really see that IN WIN has stayed true to the idea of Fanqua. The case includes four fans of which three are 120mm fans and the fourth is a huge 220mm LED fan found on the side panel. The case also includes dust filters, bottom mounted PSU, CPU back-plate access, tool-less design, a nice look and still manages to come in at $75. Putting the Fanqua in such a low price range could position the case to become quite a hot seller and even give some popular sub $100 cases a run for their money.
Closer Look:
The Fanqua comes packaged in a large cardboard box. On the front of the box you see an image of the Fanqua surrounded by flames. Next to the image of the case IN WIN poses the question "What does Fanqua stand for?". Below the question they give the answer and an explanation of how the case has included the features of Fan, Airflow, Neat, Quality, User-friendly and Affordable. On the side of the box you get a list of the features and specifications of the case with a few images showing off some of the selling points.
The Fanqua comes secured in the box with two Styrofoam inserts on each side and surrounded with a thin plastic cover. The accessories included with the Fanqua consist of installation screws, standoffs, an extra rear expansion cover, two fan power adapters and the installation guide.
With the Fanqua out of the box we can now move on and get a closer look at the case.

Source: U.S. Food and Drug Administration news release The U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho entered a consent decree of permanent injunction against owner Gregory T. Troost, doing business as T&T Cattle and T&T Cattle Pearl, and manager Mark A. Mourton of Parma, Idaho for violations including illegally administering animal drugs for uses that are not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. During FDA inspections in January 2002, January 2006, September 2010, and October through November 2012, investigators determined that the defendants had violated several provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act). These violations included the failure to keep adequate medication records to prevent unsafe drug residues in cattle offered for slaughter, failure to review treatment records prior to offering an animal for slaughter, and the use of medications for unapproved uses not specified on the drug label and in a manner that does not comply with FDA regulatory requirements. The defendants offered for slaughter seven dairy cows with illegal levels of drug residues. These included cows with tissues that tested positive for elevated levels of penicillin and sulfadimethoxine. Ingesting food containing excessive amounts of antibiotics and other drugs can cause severe adverse reactions among the general population even at very low levels and can harm consumers who are sensitive to antibiotics. To date, no illnesses have been reported. "The illegal use of drugs in food-producing animals may adversely impact public health, and the FDA will take enforcement action against companies such as this one that violate the Act and our animal drugs regulations," said Melinda K. Plaisier, the FDA's Associate Commissioner for Regulatory Affairs. The decree prohibits the defendants from selling animals for slaughter for human consumption until they have implemented record-keeping systems to identify and track animals that have been treated with drugs. These records must also note the drug used, dosage, time of administration and how long before slaughter the drug needs to be discontinued. If the defendants offer any animals for sale or slaughter, they also must provide written information about the animals' drug treatment status to the recipient of the animals. The FDA may order the defendants to cease operations if they fail to comply with any provisions of the consent decree, the Act, or FDA regulations. Failure to obey the terms of the consent decree could result in civil or criminal penalties. For more information on Federal Food Safety Information, click here. The FDA, an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, protects the public health by assuring the safety, effectiveness, and security of human and veterinary drugs, vaccines and other biological products for human use, and medical devices.

RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. (AP) – Barry Lind, a leading voice in the futures industry for many years and a fixture at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, has died after being hit by a car in Southern California, according to coroner's officials. He was 74.
Lind was crossing a road in Rancho Mirage when he was struck Wednesday evening, the Riverside County sheriff-coroner's office said. He died of his injuries early Thursday.
Alcohol wasn't believed to be a factor in the crash.
Lind served five terms on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange's board of directors. He played a key role in creating the International Monetary Market and was a director of the National Futures Association for 12 years.
Lind was a co-founder of Lind-Waldock & Co., among the first firms to market futures to retail investors, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. That firm was sold in 2000, having expanded from a firm with two full-time employees to more than 1,000 international workers.
Most recently, he was a managing partner of investment firm, Silver Young Capital LLC, which he ran with cousin Alan Young.
"He was a mentor, really like a soul mate and brother," Young told the Sun-Times.
Lind was also the founder and chairman of the Rose Lind Charitable Trust, a philanthropy involved in medical research and access to health care for the underprivileged.
The Northwestern University graduate was inducted into the Futures Hall of Fame in 2006.

WQ213, Reviewed November 2018
Land application is the primary means of using livestock wastes in Missouri. Properly spreading manure on cropland is an environmentally acceptable means of managing wastes and, at the same time, realizing a benefit from the manure's fertilizer value.
With the increased environmental concern and the need to closely match the fertilizer needs of the crop, farmers can no longer afford to just "spread manure." The land application operation should be given the same attention as spreading commercial fertilizer.
With knowledge of crop type, yield goal, soil tests and manure analysis, you can determine the needed rate of manure application. However, another critical step in obtaining this rate in the field is the correct spreader setting, operating speed and travel lane spacing.
Determining these factors is called "calibrating" the manure spreader. Calibrating a manure spreader requires measuring the weight of manure spread on a given ground area with a given travel speed, spreader setting, power take-off speed, lane spacing and other factors.
If the capacity of a manure spreader is known and the land area over which this amount of manure is spread is measured, then the application rate can be calculated by dividing the weight of manure spread by the area covered. It is important to understand the units of measurement used for manure application.
Solid or semisolid manure is usually handled in box-type or open-tank spreaders, and manure application rate is expressed in tons per acre. Nutrient concentrations in pounds per ton can be estimated, or calculated, from the laboratory analysis. Then, the nutrient application rate in pounds per acre is determined because tons per acre of manure application is known.
Liquid, or slurry, manure is usually handled by tank wagons, and the application rate is expressed in gallons per acre. Nutrient concentrations in pounds per gallon (or pounds per 1,000 gallons) are estimated, or obtained, from the laboratory analysis and used with the application rate in gallons per acre to obtain pounds per acre nutrient applied.
For calibration purposes, the capacity of a spreader in tons (for solid manure), or in gallons (for liquid manure) must be known. The volumetric capacity of spreaders is generally provided by the manufacturer. This capacity may be given as a typical "heaped" load condition or as a "struck" load condition. The struck load condition is the volume contained in the level-full box.
Caution should be exercised in using manufacturer's data for spreader volume. The standard used by most manufacturers in calculating spreader volume assumes a 60-degree angle of repose of the heaped load in the spreader. This may not be attainable with your particular type of manure or loading equipment.
A more accurate approach may be to calculate the volume from measurements of the appropriate dimensions of the spreader box and the height of a typical heaped load. Calculate rectangular box-type spreader capacities by multiplying length by width by height and adding the volume of the heaped portion to obtain total volume (Figure 1).
Figure 1
Three-dimensional view of a heaped-box spreader with dimensions and volume calculations.
Spreaders with irregular cross sections are somewhat more complicated. However, volume can be obtained rather easily by calculating volume segments separately and adding them together for the total (Figure 2).
Figure 2
Three-dimensional view of a heaped-irregular shaped spreader with dimensions and volume calculations.
Closed-tank liquid manure spreaders generally have the shape of a cylindrical horizontal tank, and volume is expressed by the manufacturer in gallons. If manufacturer's data is not available, tank volume can be calculated as follows:
Tank volume, gallons = 5.87 x (tank length, feet) x (tank diameter, feet) x (tank diameter, feet)
Open-tank liquid manure spreaders may have an irregular cross section similar to some open-box solid manure spreaders. In these cases, volume is calculated in a manner similar to that shown in Figure 2. Obviously, open-box liquid manure spreaders will not have a "heaped" volume.
All liquid manure information is calculated on a per gallon basis. The computation of pounds of nutrients per load is found by multiplying the number of gallons per load by the pounds of nutrients per gallon.
All solid and semisolid manure information is calculated on a per ton basis, which requires converting from volume measure to weight measure. In order to make this conversion, the bulk density (weight per cubic foot) of manure must be known, estimated or measured. Bulk density is largely dependent on moisture content of the manure. For example, a spreader load of poultry litter at 20 percent moisture content will be considerably heavier than the same spreader load at 10 percent moisture content. Yet, volume is approximately the same in both cases.
One way to determine bulk density is to weigh the loaded spreader, then divide this weight by the spreader volume. If access to scales is available, some percentage of the loads can be weighed — one or two of every 10 loads — and all loads assumed equal to the average of the weighed loads. However, scales are usually not available on-site, and another means of obtaining bulk density is needed.
An alternate method of obtaining bulk density involves weighing a known manure volume then using this information with volumetric spreader capacity to obtain spreader capacity in tons. A five-gallon bucket is usually available, has a volume of about two-thirds cubic feet, and is a convenient known volume to use for this measurement. The following steps outline the proper procedure for obtaining manure bulk density.
The pounds of nutrients per load of manure are then found by multiplying the tons of manure per load by the pounds of nutrients per ton (from a laboratory analysis).
The average application rate in gallons or tons per acre can be calculated if the area over which one or more loads of manure has been spread is measured.
This method can be used to measure or adjust the application rate of a spreader without measuring the entire area of application or knowing the capacity of the manure spreader. With this method, a sheet of plastic is placed on the ground in the spreader path. The spreader is passed over the sheet at the normal operating speed. The manure is collected on the sheet and weighed. The application rate is the collected manure weight divided by the sheet area.
Repeat the process several times and develop an average to be used as the application rate of the spreader. By conducting Method B at different travel speeds and spreader settings, the proper spreader settings and travel speeds can be determined to obtain the desired application rate.
This method does not account for overlap or space missed between spreader paths and will only give a true picture of the application rate when the manure is uniformly distributed over the field.
Table 1 shows a method of collecting data to determine manure spreader capacity.
Table 1
Manure spreader capacity
Table 2 is a similar method of collecting data to measure application rate using Method A.
Table 2
Determining the application rate — Method A
Table 3 shows the proper calculations for determining application rate using Method B.
Table 3
Determining the application rate — Method B
Once a spreader is calibrated, travel speed can be adjusted to give the desired application rate as illustrated in the following example.
A farmer has determined by Method A that a spreader applies manure nitrogen at the rate of 170 pounds per acre for a given spreader setting and travel speed of 3.5 miles per hour. Soil tests recommend a nitrogen application rate of 120 pounds of nitrogen per acre. How should travel speed be adjusted to obtain the desired rate?
Application rate is inversely proportional to travel speed, hence the faster the travel the lower the application rate with other factors such as spreader setting and power take-off speed remaining the same. The proper travel speed to obtain an application rate of 120 pounds of nitrogen per acre is calculated as follows:
Speed, mph = 170 x 3.51 ÷ 50 = 4 miles per hour.
Hence, a travel speed of 4 miles per hour results in the desired application rate of 120 pounds of nitrogen per acre. This method of adjusting ground travel speed to obtain a given application rate obviously would not apply to ground-driven spreaders.
Anyone spreading manure can be more certain of the amount of fertilizer being applied if a calibrated spreader is used and the nutrient content of the manure is known. Such a practice ensures that manure is being managed in an environmentally sound manner and that maximum benefit from the fertilizer nutrients in the manure is being realized.

Does anyone know what the latest version of Blackberry Maps should be? I'm running 4.7 and am curious if there's anything newer. Also why doesn't Blackberry make it's mapping software available in App World...seems like it'd be the best place to keep it.
One last question, the only reason I've kept Blackberry Maps is b/c it's required to run Weatherbug...anyone know any way around this? I'd love to save the memory but have 2 mapping programs onboard (Google Maps b/c I prefer it...Blackberry maps for WB).

Lumiere & Pinata Colors - On Jeans/Shoes
June 2014
1. I have used the Lumiere range for painting jeans- they set a bit hard but its ok . I think these are the best to use on jeans... Im covering the entire service with metallic colors- if you think that this is not sensible for do for some reason, please tell me.
2. The Neopaque colors did not work well on black tshirts- Unless is splatter paint on tshirts (think abstract art) i cant use many colors on black tshirts unless i do many coats and that makes the fabric totally stiff- so i have given up using paints for tshirts- im just going to do discharge printing. Just giving some feedback, maybe youve heard this before-
3. On Converse shoes - the canvas ones- im thinking of using Lumiere on the canvas part and Pinata on the rubber/plastic part because Lumiere does not stay well long term on rubber/plastic in my experience. What is your experience?
4. On Converse leather shoes-should i go with Pinata or Lumiere colors? Im a bit confused as to when i should chose Pinata vs Lumiere. Can you pls tell me more. Iv read your site already so pls dont send me a link to those pages -
Iv ordered a bunch of Jacquard colors and im not in the US and getting stuff from the US is a hassle so im trying to save some blunders from happening, which is why so many questions- else i have to wait weeks for my new supply of paints-
Thanks a ton! :)

Hi AK,
I'll address your concerns as best I can.
1. In as much as you are covering I would expect the hand of the fabric to become somewhat stiff. One thing you might want to consider is using AirFix with the paints this will reduce/remove the need for heat setting with an iron which could be time consuming at the least.
2. I don't have personal experience using the Neopaque on very dark/black jersey and haven't heard of the problem you are having, but do know that when painting with the paints on fabric one does get different degrees of coverage. An option for using discharge would be to use our Screen Ink Discharge Medium mixed with paints. After they have just dried steaming them with a steam iron discharges the dye in the fabric while setting the paint at the same time. I've had great results with the Screen Inks and though haven't tried it with any of our other paints I suspect you'd have good results.
3. On canvas shoes Lumiere is perfect for the canvas - and (again) while I've not used Pinata on rubber soles I'd have concerns about it scratching off during wear. Have you tried using our TeeJuice Pens on the soles? They work great for canvas as well, so long as the shoes are not a dark color - the pens are heavily pigmented, but transparent so any color under them will affect the finished color.
4. On leather shoes - go with the Lumiere. I've had great luck with Lumiere on different leather shoes.
4a. Comparing Lumiere to Pinata, specific to painting shoes - I'd always go with the Lumiere. You'll get better coverage and the Lumiere will hold up better to normal wear and tear. Pinata is good for surfaces that won't be subjected to scuffing/scratching/abrading. I like it best for metal and glass.
I hope this helps and if I missed something or have spurred any further questions please let me know!

Hi Annette,
Thanks so much for writing such good advice!
1. I thought of Airfix for jeans after i wrote my post and am glad you mention that. Would ironing on top of the airfix matter at all ? I ask because at some times, i might use other manufacturers fabric colors along with Lumiere so not sure whether Airfix will work on those other brands- In other words, can i iron just as a safety precaution after using airfix? And how much of Airfix does one need to use - would i use this after the jeans have been painted & dried?
2. On second thoughts, would airbrushing an entire service of denim jeans work better than painting with a brush- or no difference?
3. Also will try the Screen Ink discharge medium and see how that works on the tshirts.
4. Good to know the differences between Pinata & Lumiere regarding painting leather shoes. I will stick with Lumiere in that case. I hope you dont mind me asking this (considering its a JACQUARD forum): What about Angelus' Ink dye for the rubber parts of the shoe? A lot of DIYers have used that - does that compare to the Pinata in terms of its content?
5. The problem with Teejuice is that if the rubber sides and soles of the shoe are black, it wont work. And many DIYers have had trouble with the lumiere adhering the rubber/plastic unfortunately.
Thanks again !!

Hi AK,
Glad to be of help:P
About your additional questions:
1. The AirFix is added to the paint just prior to painting. Mix up just what you are going to use as you'd just have to add more for the next go 'round. The instructions call for 1 teaspoon per quart of paint so I use just a smidgen in an ounce of paint, which is almost always plenty for any paint job I'm doing. Ironing the AirFix/Lumiere mix is no problem. As for using the AirFix with other manufacturer's paints I'd have to advise testing. It would be something I'd try - so long as the paint was a waterbased acrylic, expecting to have good results.
2. As for airbrushing - it could certainly make the job easier and would allow for an even coating of paint over the surface of the jeans. You would probably have to thin the paint, and that is safe up to about 1(water) to 4 (paint) ratio - especially if you add the AirFix. The thinning will affect the opacity of the paint so it would take a bit more paint, but I think you'd still be ahead of the game in terms of the final softness.
3. I think you'll love the results with the Discharge Medium.
4. Because I wasn't familiar with Angelus' Ink dye I did a little research. It appears as if the Angelus' dyes are specific to leather and suede so I suspect there are no binders in them (which is what allows the Pinata dyes to 'stick') and would imagine that while it might stain you'd not get really strong coverage...all that being a (somewhat) educated guess.
5. Yes indeed, you are correct in your statement that the TeeJuice is not suitable for covering black. To cover black edges you are pretty much stuck with an opaque pigment. You might want to consider an oil based paint...just a thought.
My favorite renewed shoe artists are Margot Silk Forrest & Destiny Carter. I went to their site, sassyfeet.com to see if I could tell what they might be using on sole edges. Looks like they mostly leave them alone though in a few cases on dressy shoes they did take the Lumiere on to the heels.
again, any way I can help, let me know.

HI Annette,
Thanks a ton ! Looks like i have a lot of experimentation to do !!!
Margot uses StazOn for most of the rubber sides ; another sneaker DIYer on Youtube uses an Angelus Ink Dye for the rubber and then goes over those parts with the Angelus leather paint. Angelus is good too but they dont make metallic colors as Jacquard does :)
Lets see what happens- i will update with results !! Youre doing a great job with these forums!!

Hi AK,
Ha - I didn't catch that Margo uses StazOn - she's kind of a 'master'. I'm going to have to do a little testing for myself. I don't paint the edges on my shoes (all I do are my old Keens and Danskos) usually just give them a good wash, but doing the edges would really bring them back.
let me know how it all goes!

Hi again Annette-!
So after this huge thread of advice, iv finally gotten used to using Lumiere on denim (i use the paint on jeans) and it works great so far - iv done away with thinking about even coverage and just tried random sponge strokes to highlight/shade areas - the contrasts of colors and roughness of sponge strokes add character to the jeans that shiny laminated fabric could not do- and i guess if one wants extreme metallic looks then paint is perhaps not the way to go- maybe one should just use laminated fabrics for those purposes-
Anyway- im just wondering what the longevity of the paint on these jeans would be? Do you have any experience with using Lumiere on jeans?
I also wanted to let you know my experience with Lumiere/Neopaque on knitted tshirts- Lumiere adds way too much weight and just ruins the hand of the knitted fabric and certain colors of Neopaque paints on black tshirts just dont work ( red paint on black tee wold require a couple coats thus adding weight)- In any case, im loving the effect on jeans- its really nice! I think traditional discharge screen printing is the way to go on black tshirts-
Just had another question for you:
Would Dyne-na-flow colors work on white tshirts to give a tie dye effect? So instead of tie dyeing with dye, id just use the Dye na flow paint .... First id tie up the tshirt and just lift the tied up tshirt and dab it on the paint lying in a small container or maybe put the tied up tee in a small poly bag and throw in some dye na flow? Im curious to know how this would change the handle of the knitted tshirt? If you have experience, id love to hear it !
Thanks a ton again!

Hi AK,
Nice to hear from you!
The Lumiere on jeans works very well. You will want to heat set them with an iron for washability or use AirFix (
) with the paints, but if the paint is fixed well it holds up like a champ.
And yes, your experience with the Lumiere/Neopaque on cotton knit t-shirts is what I would expect, particularly if you are using it as the main body of the art work. You might want to check out Diane Ericson, she's an artist that uses Lumiere a lot - on all sorts of fabrics - but the way that she applies it really reduces the hand and creates some stunning art work. A cruise through her blog site is a fun way to get inspired.
To your question about Dye-na-Flow as a tie dye medium - you could indeed use it in the manner you suggested. There will be a bit of a hand, depending on just how much paint is absorbed, but once heat set and washed it will be minimal. I know of several artists that use Dye-Na-Flow as a silk paint with no complaints about resulting heavy handedness. You could control the application of the colors by using a sponge brush dipped into the paint. You could then apply it exactly where you want it on your design. I'd also recommend untying the piece before it drys completely - if the paints drys against itself you might get some creases that would be difficult to remove.
again, and as always, hope this helps

Thanks a lot, Annette! I ordered Airfix online from Dharmatrading along with the other paints and they were out of stock about 6 weeks ago- its a hassle constantly having to get stuff across the globe LOL- anyway, im using the paints on new jeans only after the jeans have gone through a washer and then a dryer for an hour. After painting, i let the jeans rest for 12-24 hours before putting them in a dryer for 1 hour. And then i dont wear them or wash them for 1 month. Would this suffice?
Will keep in mind your advice regarding Dye na Flow! - Im going to check out Dianes blog too - thanks again-

Hi again,
The one hour drying could work - I hesitate to say yes unqualifiedly - mostly because I've not tested out that theory...

Ok- thanks annette

Hi Annette, Just wanted to show you the pics finally- i was curious how one could post images and had to do a google search to see how one could post pics on forums without the forum showing options for attachments- do let me know whether this works-
The pics look washed out but these jeans look 10 times better in person- im 6ft2 male thats why these jeans look long ;)

The pics came through just fine - and woah! nice job!
thanks for sharing - next we need a pic of you in one of the pairs of jeans:)
August 2014
yes! hopefully soon !!!
Pls tell Jacquard to ship internationally or find an exporter to deal with the hassle of intl export- it will make life much easier for the intl community!!

I actually love the way that the hand of the fabric changes after paint- the textile feels much nicer (after lumiere/neopaque) instantly even while wearing... i may not like the feel of dye na flow but perhaps use it in a different way- will have to experiment and think about it-

Growth Model work group narrows down studies
South Dakotas Growth Model work group met via conference call last month to discuss further analysis of the seven growth models selected for consideration for use in the states new accountability system.
The work group discussed the pros and cons of each of the seven models and then came to a consensus to eliminate the Projection, Categorical and Trajectory models. The Gain Score model was also tentatively taken out of consideration for the time being.
Group members felt the Projection Model was similar to the Residual Gain Model but believed the Residual Gain Model would provide a truer measure of student growth. Overall, group members had problems with the Categorical Model because it didnt do enough to help or take into account those students who were in the bubble between Basic and Proficient categories.
Group members particularly liked the Student Growth Percentile Model and felt no matter which model they end up choosing, it is important to select a model that accurately measures students academic achievement and will also be easy for parents and the public to understand.

Grand Theft Auto IV Walkthrough
|Out of Commission
Following the tragic events at Roman's wedding, you'll find Niko back at the safe house in Bohan. Frustrated, upset and angry, Niko vows revenge, but there appears to be nothing to do yet. Head outside and wait for a forthcoming text message from Little Jacob, which will encourage you to seek out a weapon dealer to stock up. We highly recommend you purchase an RPG and some grenades, as well as assault rifle rounds. Eventually, Little Jacob will give you a call and tell you to meet him and Roman at a car in Alderney, on Asahara Road. So, head over there (the GPS will show up on your HUD and get you there easily). Once there, you'll meet up with Roman and Little Jacob, and they'll give you the rundown on the upcoming mission.
Basically, you're going to be following a car manned by some of Pegorino's goons as they stupidly bring you to his location. This isn't one of those chases where you have to stay far behind the car to make sure they don't see you. They immediately know you're on their tail and act accordingly. They turn their car around, shoot at you, and begin driving wildly around Alderney, using a major highway as their primary conduit. Simply stay on them (holster your weapon, shooting at them won't help you). When they cross the highway lanes so their going against oncoming traffic, carefully follow them the next time you get the opportunity to cross over, since this will allow you to miss a majority of the oncoming traffic while dodging the rather pesky possibility that you miss the exit they take, making it impossible to catch back up with them.
Ultimately, the car full of Pegorino's men will bring you off-road and towards an abandoned casino at the far north end of Alderney, off of Beaverhead Avenue. When you arrive, the game will take over for a bit, bringing you to the outskirts of the casino. Here, Niko will encourage Roman and Little Jacob to get out of here and let him take care of Pegorino while those two figure out an exit strategy for Niko. And just like that, the two of them split off from Niko, leaving him alone to take care of Pegorino and his goon army.

How To Make Your Own Taco Seasoning
Making your own Taco Seasoning is one of the easiest things you can do for yourself in the kitchen. No more little packets of bland, age old spices, instead, try this quick mix that's sure to become an on-hand staple in your house from now on!
What You Need
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 teaspoons Chili Powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
• 2 teaspoons Garlic Powder
• 1 teaspoon ground Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper/Paprika
• 2 teaspoons dried Onions
- Measure: Measure out all ingredients side by side to ensure you don't double up or leave one out.
- Mix: Combine ingredients in a zip top bag or bowl and shake/stir to combine until cornstarch and onions are well distributed.
- Store: Keep in an air tight container for up to 1 year.
- To Use: 7 teaspoons of mix is enough to season 1 pound of meat. We often start with 4 teaspoons and increase it from there. Some meats like turkey and chicken take less, while pork and beef might take a little more. Play to your own tastes and remember, you can always add more, but you can't take it out!
Total Cost:
Depending on where you buy your spices and assuming you don't currently have any of the ingredients on hand, this project will run you between $.15 and $15.
We highly suggest looking into bulk spice purchases, be it from a big box bulk retailer or local farmers market dealer or specialty store. Not only will your spices be fresher, they'll also be less expensive. When you're not paying for glass or plastic bottles for each one, it's amazing how the price plummets!

Mai Fernandez, Executive Director of the National Center for Victims of Crime, is available to discuss how communities can best respond to mass trauma incidents and how victims can begin to rebuild their lives.
CONTACT: Kath Cummins
Mai Fernandez on CBS/WUSA9 today: http://www.wusa9.com/news/article/254815/158/EXPERT-Victims-of-the-Boston-Blasts-Should-Speak-Out
The Boston bombings are the third mass casualty incident in America in the past year. The Aurora shooting in July, 2012, the Newtown, CT shooting of Sept of 2012, and now this incident highlight the need for comprehensive community responses to mass trauma.
Terror is a crime with multiple targets. It is a crime against individuals who are killed or who suffer life changing injuries and trauma. It is a crime against the families of these victims and witnesses, who can also suffer trauma.
"In the aftermath of mass casualty incidents, witnesses and those directly injured can experience any number of the following: shock, anxiety, hypervigilance and physical manifestations of stress," said Ms. Fernandez. "They should be sensitive to changes in their behavior, their eating and sleeping habits. Most importantly, people experiencing trauma should not be alone, and may need to discuss their experience with others and seek medical and professional help in the coming months."
Terror is also a crime against communities: citizens who are the targets of terror feel unsafe and vulnerable and fear going about their daily lives.
Since 1985, The National Center for Victims of Crime has supported organizations on the ground who counsel victims and fight for victim compensation.

East Carolina University says the firing of its adviser to the student-run newspaper is not connected to a First Amendment issue of the university interfering with editorial decisions of the paper.
Last week Paul Isom was fired nearly two months after The East Carolinian published an uncensored photo of a streaker at a football game. Isom said publishing the photo caused him to be let go as director of student media at the university.
A national group, Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, has called for Chancellor Steve Ballard to reinstate Isom, saying his firing violates the First Amendment.
But in a statement released Tuesday afternoon, Vice Chancellor Virginia Hardy says there are two separate issues. Hardy says those who are connecting Isom's dismissal with the First Amendment don't have full knowledge of the facts. "We ask all advocacy groups and the public to trust our internal process, which has been deliberate, correct and legal, as we move forward to address these two separate issues," Hardy said in the statement.
In November Hardy said the university didn't agree with the publishing of the nude photo and would be having discussions with those involved.
In her latest statement, Hardy says the First Amendment demands public universities allow student journalists to make their own editorial decisions. "ECU puts that principal first," said Hardy. "It has upheld it, especially in this instance."
The university has not said why it fired Isom, and has refused to release any public documents on his dismissal.
On its website, the foundation wrote "ECU's decision to fire Isom will result in an impermissible chill on all student media with advisers, who are now subject to termination whenever the university disagrees with students' editorial decisions. FIRE has asked ECU to meet its legal and moral obligation to respect freedom of expression and to reinstate Isom immediately."
ECU Statement
Statement by Dr. Virginia Hardy, vice chancellor for student affairs, on East Carolina University's record and responsibilities in regards to the First Amendment and its student-run newspaper, the East Carolinian:
East Carolina University is concerned that a decision to change leadership in its director of student media role has been connected to a First Amendment issue without full knowledge of the facts at hand. It is important to distinguish between any personnel matter and the First Amendment.
We ask all advocacy groups and the public to trust our internal process, which has been deliberate, correct and legal, as we move forward to address these two separate issues.
The First Amendment demands public universities provide student journalists the opportunity to make their own news decisions and learn from them without interference. ECU puts that principle first. It has upheld it, especially in this instance.
We support The East Carolinian fully. Students have been the central focus of what we have done and the decisions that have been made. We have involved them openly when it was constructive and useful for their education, including holding open, informational discussions with the editorial staff to talk about the impact of news decisions.
Regarding editorial decisions in student media, we have respectfully allowed the student journalists to take their own course. We have and will continue to support their right to make decisions in publishing a newspaper for their fellow students.
Previous Story
A national group is calling on ECU to reinstate the adviser of the student newspaper who was recently fired.

Paul Isom lost his job last week, two months after The East Carolinian published an uncensored picture of the streaker at a football game. The group is asking ECU to reinstate Isom.
On its website, the foundation wrote "ECU's decision to fire Isom will result in an impermissible chill on all student media with advisers, who are now subject to termination whenever the university disagrees with students' editorial decisions. FIRE has asked ECU to meet its legal and moral obligation to respect freedom of expression and to reinstate Isom immediately."

Paul Isom says he was fired Wednesday by the university. He says the streaker photo is what "started it all".
The newspaper came under fire after it ran a front page photograph of John Sieglinger who streaked onto the field at the Southern Miss game during half-time. The unedited photo of Sieglinger showing frontal nudity was published November 8th.
Isom tells WITN News that he was informed Wednesday he had four hours to clean out his office and leave the university. Isom said he was given no explanation, other than ECU "wanted to move in a different direction."
In November ECU says the decision by the newspaper to publish the photo with full frontal nudity "was in very poor taste."
At the time, Vice Chancellor Virginia Hardy said the university would be having "conversations with those who were involved" in this decision in an effort "to make it a learning experience." Hardy said the leadership at East Carolina did not agree with the decision to publish the photo, nor did it support it.
Isom told WITN he was surprised by the decision to let him go saying, "In college student media, the adviser stays out of the editorial process, my job is to give them the resources they need, whether that's equipment, training, what have you, to make the best decisions they can, then get out of the way. Unfortunately folks at ECU, the administrators who make the decisions, don't seem to understand first amendment issues or journalistic issues and I paid the consequences for that."
WITN requested a copy of Isom's dismissal letter, but the university said it was not public record since the employee was not fired for disciplinary reasons.
In a news release, Vice Chancellor Hardy said Isom was dismissed Wednesday. "We will not make any additional comment because this is a personnel matter," Hardy said.
Isom oversaw all campus student media outlets and he directly advised three of them, including the student-run The East Carolinian newspaper, The Rebel and the Buccaneer yearbook.
Isom had been with ECU since 2008.

Financial Aid
Not Enough Aid?
The types and amounts of financial aid you are eligible for are determined by information you have provided on your annual FAFSA application and the availability of funds at the time of application. If you find that you do not have enough funding to cover your costs, there are a few options for you to explore.
- Federal Parent PLUS Loan- This loan enables credit-worthy parents of undergraduate, dependent students to borrow funds to pay for their child's educational expenses.
- Federal Direct Grad PLUS Loan- This loan enables credit-worthy degree-seeking graduate students to borrow funds to pay for their educational expenses.
- Private Educational Loan- The student is the borrower of this type of loan, with many lenders requiring co-signers if the student has little or no credit. The loans are not regulated by the government, and each lender will set its own interest rates and requirements.
- Additional Expense Request Form- If you or your family (if you are a dependent student) have expenses that are above and beyond what you feel are typical, this form can be used to ask for consideration of your circumstances. Such requests can include high out of pocket medical costs, child care and high costs of commuting to and from the University.
- Reduced Income Request Form- If one or more of your family members has experienced a reduction of income in the current tax year due to extenuating circumstances (lay-off, change of jobs, reduced hours, loss of child support, etc.), use this form to estimate your current year income and explain your circumstances.
