Vita Huset
The white house at the Rudan Nature Reserve in Handen dates back around 300 years. For centuries there were farms here, but they are all gone. Today the buildings that are still standing are owned by the municipality and you will find the local fishing club Lilla Fiskelyckan in that old building.

Too bad that "progress" means dismantling older buildings. Very clear reflection.

Actually there are a few old buildings left. One barn has been turned into a theatre. Another now house the local skiing club. I have showed all of them here over the years.

TRENDnet Mini-GBIC Multi-Mode SX Module up to 1,800ft. TEG-MGBSX
Argh! It looks like we've just recently sold out of this item. Click below to be notified as soon as it's available!
You wouldn't believe what we had to go through to get our hands on the TEG-MGBSX by TRENDnet. Let's just say it involved a pair of ambiguously amorous FBI agents, their chain-smoking and conspiratorially corrupt superior, and suspicion of extra terrestrial activity. Just our typical day at the office!
As part of a new initiative we've decided to begin sending our products round-trip to one of the Mars colonies to confirm they can make the journey and return safely in New condition (they can!). We had trouble finding volunteers, though, so we had to convince one of our guys he was actually a secret agent on the run and in grave danger. We're sure he'll be totally OK with that once he figures it out.
We've had no reports of this item causing spontaneous temporal displacement, but if you have concerns about this (or anything else) please reach out to us (we'll check with Al).
Our Infinite Improbability Drive is on the fritz again - so we're off to take a look (that thing really wreaks havoc in the warehouse). Give a whistle if you need any additional help with the TRENDnet TEG-MGBSX - or anything else!

- High wind alert extended to Eastern Waikato
|2013-09-24 00:00:00
Issued at 1030hrs
Today's high wind warning for the Coromandel has been extended to Eastern Waikato in general, especially in the lee of the Kaimai Range, meaning residents there also need to be on the alert, says Waikato Civil Defence.
As on the Coromandel, winds with gusts of 130 kilometres an hour are expected from this afternoon before easing overnight.
Residents are reminded to secure loose items, take care on the roads (particularly in large vehicles), and be aware of the potential for trees and other debris to be blown around the place. As with any strong wind event, there is also the potential for power and telecommunication outages.
Heavy rain of between 100 millimetres and 120mm is also expected on the Coromandel Peninsula from late this morning before easing overnight Tuesday.
This may result in some surface flooding, and place further pressure on river systems on the peninsula , which rose following the rainfall over the weekend.
River systems across the wider Waikato region are also under pressure following the weekend rainfall and could be further affected by the forecast rainfall. Rivers are particularly up in the western parts of the region.
In addition to the heavy rain and strong wind warnings, Waikato Civil Defence has also been alerted to the potential for abnormally high seas due to the combination of low atmospheric pressure, strong easterly winds and a heavy ocean swell. Low lying coastal land exposed to the east is expected to be most at risk and residents are advised take precautionary measures.
Thames-Valley Civil Defence, the Waikato Civil Defence Group Emergency Management Office and Waikato Regional Council staff are monitoring the weather, tide and river levels closely and will provide advice as necessary.

In a Costcutter near Highgate, north London, a five-year-old girl stands transfixed (possibly slightly traumatised) by two curious fellow shoppers: one sports an enormous black bat-winged cape with scarlet lining, hood and matching bonnet, the other an azure blue smock etched with silver stars and moons, a scarlet medieval jester's bonnet and sparkly golden boots.
They aren't 'in character'; this is who they are. Serge Pizzorno, rock 'n' roll songwriter dude from Kasabian, and Noel Fielding, rock 'n' roll comedy surrealist, ex-Mighty Booshman and Never Mind the Buzzcocks captain, who this week returns to claim his crown on the stand-up circuit with a massive UK tour.
They look like best mates because they are, since 2007 and an encounter at the Isle of Wight Festival; two life-long believers in cartoon living with similarly explosive hair and 'exotic' genealogy (Serge's Italian grandfather, Noel's French grandma). "I didn't think you could get a new best mate at this age," marvels Noel, 41, who often visits Serge, 33, in his tiny Leicestershire village.
He gets recognised everywhere. No one knows who I am
"We'll be out getting supplies and it freaks people out in the local Co-op," grins Serge. "'Fuck, is that Noel?' He gets recognised everywhere. No one knows who I am."
Outside Costcutter, as if by magic, a gaggle of teenage girls gasp, "It's Noel Fielding!" while Serge – 6ft 6in of Vincent Price vibes – is inexplicably ignored.
Soon, we're back at Noel's nearby studio, a white-walled space festooned with psychedelic insanity: drawings and props from his surrealist E4 sketch-show caper Luxury Comedy (drawings of LSD-fried fictional band Lysergic Casserole), an upright coffin, paintings of Freddie Mercury, rubber aliens, wigs, a 'human' arm poking from a giant pink plastic triangle and stand-up-routine prompt lists tacked on walls (Dog With A Telescope, Chris de Battenberg, Ray Davies Jam Jar, Raindrop Police).
From a CD player booms the Luxury Comedy house band Loose Tapestries, a kaleidoscopic thrill of pastoral 1960s psychedelia, Captain Beefheart, Peter Cook and Dudley Moore seemingly fronting The Kinks and Idris Elba rapping like Ian Dury over a Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band-esque Christmas single.
Last year, 27,000 people worldwide earned an income selling street papers, making a total of £23.4 million.
Today, Serge and Noel vigorously deny they are the force behind Loose Tapestries, claiming they are merely "vessels" for two time-travelling "bombastic minstrels" called The Decision and Vacuum Cloud, who have no need of form, are made from "complex patterns of coloured light and thought" and live "in an abstract shape called The Profiterolf that hovers above treetops outside Highgate cemetery". The spectral minstrels may soon possess their bodies for "a tour of mazes, with moats, some time this century", they cackle, merrily.
Until then, they're off on tour individually: Serge around Europe with Kasabian, Noel throughout Britain with his stand-up show An Evening With Noel Fielding, featuring characters, animation, audience interaction and guest appearances from "Antonio Banderas and Hawk-Eye, the decision-maker at the tennis". They perch beside a table bedecked in spray paint, supposedly interviewing each other, without a solitary question from either the serene, bashful Serge or the exuberant, cackling Noel. So we listen in, instead, to this beautiful friendship at work.
Serge, presumably you were a Mighty Boosh person before you met Noel…
Serge: "Massively. It was a staple for the tour bus after every gig. We'd all be absolutely mangled with some nice weed and I felt like, someone's read my mind, this is exactly what I need right now."
Noel: "I always thought that Kasabian's music was trippy in a modern way. I think Serge and Tom [Meighan, frontman] are just like me and Julian [Barratt] but they're doing music."
Sometimes you see photos of you two and you're not sure which is which…
Serge: "It's the Latin blood!"
Noel [begins cackling]: "We were in the studio with some Scottish people last Burns Night, there was all this beautiful food, poetry, whisky, everyone was all dressed up, and me and Serge made a massive faux pas and cut the ends off the cheeses.
"We didn't know [in polite society, you must never cut the 'nose' off a triangular wedge of cheese]. And some big Glaswegian man went [terrifying Glaswegian], 'These two Italian poofters have cut the noses off the cheese!'"
What happened at the Isle of Wight in 2007?
Noel: "Me and my Australian friend Melvis got a helicopter to see the Stones – amazing! – and landed in the grounds of your hotel, and you were all bladdered drinking Pimm's and attempting to play croquet."
Serge: "It was just, mate, come back to the hotel – you just know when you're gonna 'get' someone."
Noel: "I thought, wow, this guy's like Keith Richards and George Best at the same time. Which annoyed me. I thought, can I be mates with him? He's a really good artist, slightly too handsome and taller than me – nightmare! Then we stayed up all night, sat together on the floor and talked for about 10 hours; we went in well deep."
In what other ways are you similar?
Noel: "We're both a little bit shy and quite soft. Not very male and aggressive. With soft parents."
As a sometime O2 Arena-sized touring comedy force, what's your fame advice for Serge now Kasabian are massive?
Noel: "They don't need advice from me! They know what they're doing; we imploded."
It's been brilliant touring as Vlad the Impaler, like being a medieval Bez
Why was that, ultimately?
Noel: "Because Julian didn't like the attention, the celebrity, any of it. I got all the attention and partied too much. It's like it's your birthday all the time, everyone wants to speak to you and you don't know who anyone is. Madness.
"Kasabian have got a really good group around them who protect them. We were, 'Fuck, it's gone massive', and a lot of idiots were getting in the cracks. You can't get near Kasabian."
Serge: "Staying in Leicester is part of that. Me and Tom lived in London for a year and it was party time, absolute chaos. And no one knew who we were! So for Noel at that time…"
Noel: "It's because we were on telly all the time. There's no place, really, for bands on telly any more. No one knows who bands are. I couldn't tell you what The Black Keys look like and they're massive."
Talk us through this year's Glastonbury headline experience…
Serge: "I woke up and the adrenalin just kicked in. I thought, I've gotta deal with this for 12 hours! Noel came on the bus and it was instantly calm; we were listening to Three Men in a Boat on audio, drinking peppermint tea, I had cushions and a quilt and we were having a nap. If it wasn't for Noel, I would've been boozing from two in the afternoon."
Noel: "I didn't drink all day. I ran on as Vlad the Impaler, completely sober in front of 200,000 people, thinking, I've never felt so self-conscious, dancing like a dad. I looked over at Serge and he went [bamboozled] 'What's this!?', and Tom's right out there [hands in the air]. Tom's so generous; he's totally let me in. It's been brilliant touring as Vlad the Impaler, like being a medieval Bez."
Do you like 'the road'?
Noel: "I do but Boosh did it like Aerosmith last time and I nearly came home dead. It's finding the balance between not killing yourself and having fun."
Serge: "I won't expose any bands but there's nothing more depressing than seeing a band come off stage at a festival, go backstage and just flip their laptop open, at online shopping. And have some chicken and broccoli. I'm thinking, are you not gonna have a drink now? Cause carnage? And they're [pats stomach], 'Naw, mate; gotta watch the weight.' Fuck that – you don't deserve to be doing this job!"
Noel: "A lot of bands are so fucking earnest and serious. Tom's dad once said to me, 'I'll give you a tenner if you'll run on stage and bite Serge's arse', at the Isle of Wight Festival. I got on stage and bit his arse…"
Serge: "I thought it was a dog! I turned round and he was like a medicine man down there, with a cape."
Noel: "Then I tried to drive the bus and I can't even drive. Then we were on a boat…"
Serge: "Which should never have been allowed; we were absolutely mangled…"
It's said we live in very conservative times. Any theories why?
Serge: "Our guitar tech, who's about 65, worked with Zeppelin, The Yardbirds, The Kinks – he loves the Tapestries because it's the spirit of the music when he first started. He says it's like listening to stuff before accountants got involved. Just making stuff up, ideas, get in an ice-cream van and play in forests. Be free."
Noel: "My mum and dad said they saw Faces, Frank Zappa and Hawkwind at the same gig and the first band didn't come on till one in the morning. Now you can't get a fucking drink past one o'clock in this country."
How come the internet hasn't given us the most creatively free generation of all time?
Noel: "It's backfired. Too much choice. The stuff that gets a hundred million hits is Gangnam Style or a squirrel singing an Elvis song. I do get disappointed by how conservative young kids are. When I made Luxury Comedy it was fucking insane and all people could say was, 'Oh, he's on drugs.' I thought, you're 20! When did imagination disappear?
I do get disappointed by how conservative young kids are
"You're not gonna get a band like Slade again, working-class boys in red fucking trousers and mirrors on their top hats. I sound like an old man, I'm ancient, but there's a generation with no links to psychedelic anything. I just like dressing up. Like a dolly."
Serge: "When I first met Noel he was the first true artist I'd ever met. It's like hanging around with Dalí, the real deal, where bands don't live it any more. He makes me feel way freer."
Noel: "I remember you talking about West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum [Kasabian's third album] saying, 'I'm gonna do this', but you were nervous cos you'd done two big rock albums. And I was in your ear: 'Do it, do it, do it!' We were out one night and disappeared off into the toilets in a club and our girlfriends thought we'd left them for each other."
Serge: "Amy [his girlfriend] said, 'You've been gone for three hours!' We were just walking round and round coming up with ideas."
Noel: "This does sound like a mutual backslapping thing but what can we say?! Tom always says, 'You love each other, don't you?' Yeah, we do. 'But you do, though, don't you?' [Suddenly aggrieved] Don't make this too gay, will you? Aw, man – Tom's gonna rip into us for this…"
Let us hope so. That's what friends are for, after all.

To the surprise of many, Legends of Tomorrow, a show about a ragtag group of superheroes traveling through time to fix mistakes that they may or may not have made in the first place, has become one of The CW's strongest superhero shows. Less serious than Arrow, with as much girl power as Supergirl, and featuring some of the best characters from The Flash, the show found its stride in season 2 and took off with a bang in season 3. The actors have great chemistry and the storylines are fun.
It was announced that Victor Garber, who plays Martin Stein and one half of Firestorm, would be leaving Legends of Tomorrow midway through season 3 to return to Broadway. (Luckily enough he has shared some of this vocal talent on the show in a couple of episodes including the musical crossover.) Stein has become an integral part of the Legends team, acting as a mentor and the voice of reason as well as some comic relief. He has developed a wonderful fatherly relationship with Jax (Franz Drameh) as the two have spent time honing their Firestorm powers. And as shown after the death of Ronnie Raymond (Robbie Amell), there always needs to be two people controlling Firestorm.

Recently Jax and Martin have been conducting experiments to try to separate themselves with hilarious results and not much luck. So, while Jax has proved he can be a superhero without powers, it is seeming less and less likely that he will be able to operate Firestorm alone. This brings a question to mind: what if Martin doesn't leave to spend more time with his grandson, but something more tragic befalls him? It would be terribly sad to see Martin die after finding such happiness with his family, but it would pave the way for another character to step in to take his place.
From the comics to the Arrowverse, here are 5 other characters who could merge with Jax and replace the professor as Firestorm.
5. Ronnie Raymond
No one really dies in comic books, and that notion has transferred over to superhero TV shows as well. Sure, Ronnie died in season 2 premiere of The Flash by sacrificing himself to save Barry Allen (Grant Gustin), but it doesn't mean we've seen the last of him. The Legends could go and get a different from Ronnie from another Earth (just not Earth 2). Or there could be some kind of Flashpoint explanation for him not being dead or why another version of Ronnie exists. Along with Stein, Ronnie is the original Firestorm from the comics so it would be nice to have him back.
Movie Pilot pointed out that Robbie Amell was in Vancouver recently - and hanging out with White Canary actress Caity Lotz and Danielle Panabaker, who played his onscreen wife Caitlin Snow. While it could be a coincidence, it could also be a clue that Ronnie could return. It would be nice to see both of Stein's protegees working together without him once he is gone.
4. Jason Rusch
In the DC comics, prior to the New 52, Jason Rusch was a high school student who took over as half of Firestorm after the death of Ronnie. (In the newer comics, both Jason and Ronnie can become Firestorm independently.) Jason would be a good replacement for Stein and he has even appeared in the Arrowverse already. In season 1 of The Flash Jason, played by Luc Roderique, was a scientist who worked in Mercury Labs. He previously worked on the FIRESTORM project along with Professor Stein. In the episode he helped Caitlin learn more about the project and then was never seen again.
Since Jason already exists in this universe, it would be easy to reintroduce his character via flashbacks before he joins the team. He could even be recast if necessary, which has happened before with several characters throughout the Arrowverse. Jason has scientific knowledge like Stein and can help the Legends in that capacity as well as bonding Ray (Brandon Routh) over their shared scientific passions. Having Jason on Legends of Tomorrow would be a nice way to pay homage to the original comics while still staying true to what has already been established.

When Scandrick dived to block a pass Thursday afternoon, his

the inside. Once that stopped, there was bruising all around.
Head athletic trainer Jim Maurer said while it could be called a

Prostate Biopsy
(Transrectal Biopsy; Transurethral Biopsy; Transperineal Biopsy)
A prostate biopsy is the removal of a small amount of tissue from the prostate gland. The tissue is examined for the presence of cancer cells.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Reasons for Procedure
A prostate biopsy is usually done after an abnormal finding by:
- Digital rectal exam
- Prostate specific antigen (PSA) blood test
A prostate biopsy is the only way to find out if cancer cells are present.
Possible Complications
Problems from the procedure may occur, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
- Infection
- Bruising or lengthy bleeding from the rectum, or in urine or semen
- Difficulty urinating
- Reactions to anesthesia
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
- Smoking
- History of bleeding disorders or easy bruising
- Use of any medications, over-the-counter medications, or herbal supplements
- Sensitivity or allergy to latex, medications, or anesthesia
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
You may be asked to do the following:
- Talk to your doctor about your medications. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to one week before the procedure.
- Begin taking an antibiotic.
- Use an enema several hours before the procedure.
- If you will be getting general anesthesia, do not eat or drink anything after midnight.
The type of anesthesia depends on the method that your doctor uses:
Transurethral biopsy and perineal biopsy:
- General anesthesia —Blocks pain and keeps you asleep through the surgery. This will be used for a transrectal prostate biopsy.
- Local anesthesia—Just the area that is being operated on is numbed, given as an injection and may also be given with a sedative.
Description of the Procedure
Your doctor will use one of the following methods to do the biopsy:
- Transrectal biopsy (most common method)—Your doctor will insert a small ultrasound device into the rectum. This device will produce sound waves to create an image of the prostate. These images will help guide placement of the needle. Your doctor will then insert the needle through the wall of the rectum and into the prostate gland.
- Transurethral biopsy—Your doctor will insert a lighted flexible tube through the tip of the penis and into the urethra. The urethra carries urine from the bladder. Your doctor will get the biopsy with a cutting loop that is passed through the flexible tube.
- Perineal biopsy—Your doctor will make a small incision in the perineum. The perineum is the area between the scrotum and the rectum. The doctor will insert a small needle into the prostate gland to get the biopsy.
How Long Will It Take?
About 30 minutes
Will It Hurt?
You may have discomfort and soreness at the biopsy site. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
Postoperative Care
Blood in the urine, stool, or semen is normal. This may last several days. You may be advised to avoid strenuous activity a day or two after the procedure. Follow your doctor's instructions on caring for the biopsy site.
After the sample is taken, it will be sent to a pathologist for examination under a microscope. If cancer is present, your doctor will work with you to develop a treatment plan.
Call Your Doctor
It is important to monitor your recovery. Alert your doctor to any problems. If any of the following occur, call your doctor:
- Inability to urinate
- Blood in the urine more than 2-3 days post-biopsy
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Pain that you cannot control with the medications you have been given
- Pain, burning, urgency, or frequency of urination
- Cough, shortness of breath, or chest pain
- Rectal bleeding that lasts more than 2-3 days after the biopsy
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

Right from its journey as the 'iPad app of the year 2011' to being the most loved iPhone app in recent times, Snapseed has stolen the hearts of photographers; particularly that of 'iphoneography' community members.
Long gone are the days when editing an image meant knowing to work in Adobe Photoshop and similar high-end editing software. These days the technology is so advanced not only in the abundance of features/functionality available but also it is incredibly easy to use and navigate.
I think what I love the most about mobile image editing apps compared to their bulky, intimidating desktop versions is their 'self-learnability' and quick learning curve in familiarizing with the equally powerful collection of tools that can take your often 'okay' photos to 'wow!' Instagram-like photos.
The only disadvantage I can think of is, I tend to use Snapseed only when I have plenty of time and patience to play around with the filters. Unlike the default edit feature of iPhone 'Photos' app where editing takes just a few seconds. ( The result is nothing compared to the awesomeness of Snapseed final image)
As you click on the Edit button, there are the neatly organized 'Tools' and 'Filters' section. The swipe 'up-down' and swipe ' left-right' feature enables us to choose detailing options such as brightness, saturation, contrast, etc. Under the Tools section, there is,
- Tune image(adjust brightness, saturation, contrast, ambiance, highlights, shadow and warmth)
- Details(change structure and sharpening)
- Crop
- Rotate
- Transform(adjust vertical perspective, horizontal perspective, rotation)
- Brush
- Selective
- Healing
- Vignette(adjust outer brightness, inner brightness)
There are exciting Filters options available such as:
- Lens Blur(adjust blur strength, transition, vignette strength)
- Glamour Glow(adjust glow, saturation, warmth)
- Tonal Contrast(change high tones, mid tones, low tones, protect highlight, protect shadows)
- HDR Scape(adjust filter strength, brightness, saturation)
- Drama(adjust filter strength, saturation)
- Grunge(adjust style, brightness, contrast, saturation, texture strength)
- Grainy Film(change grain, style strength)
- Vintage( adjust brightness, saturation, style strength, vignette strength)
- Retrolux(adjust brightness, saturation, contrast, style strength, scratches, light leaks)
- Noir(adjust brightness, wash, grain, filter strength)
- Black & White(adjust brightness, contrast, grain)
- Frames

If you don't want to read this whole tutorial, there's a video for your viewing pleasure at the end of this post BUT for a more detailed explanation, read on.
Have you ever noticed that you garden looks best after a good, long rain? That's because it's highly oxygenated and free of all of the chemical compounds of tap water. The benefits of a rain barrel are numerous including:
- conserving water
- reducing your water bill
- less chemicals in your garden
You can buy rain barrels starting at $100 at Home Depot or Lowe's or even on Amazon. OR you could buy all the stuff for around $40 and make one yourself. This is way easier for me because my grandfather has every tool known to man, but if you had to buy tools this venture would be much more expensive.
Here's what you need (click on each individual item for links):
Rain Barrel
- 32 gallon trash can
- Brass spicket
- I couldn't find the bung, so ask your local Home Depot expert in the plumbing department
- Misquito netting
Rain Barrel Stand
- Spare wood
- Nails
How to make the Rain Barrel:
- Cut hole near the bottom of the garbage can, I bought a BRUTE brand can and so I cut the hole right in the middle of the "E", about 2 inches from the bottom
- Insert the bung into the hole and screw on the back on the inside of the can
- Screw the spicket into the bung
- Fill the can about 1/3 of the way with water to test for leaks
- With the same drill that you cut the hole at the bottom, but a few holes in the top. If you are able to place it under a gutter you only need 4-5 holes, however I did many more because I don't have a gutter to put it under
- Cut the mosquito net to fit around the whole top of your barrel and put the lid on
- Rain Barrel complete!
Now if you have something elevated to put your rain barrel on, then you're done! If not you can make a quick stand out of spare wood.
- Cut your wood into 4 10-inch posts and 6 20-inch planks
- Nail down your planks and the top will form an "H"
And you're ready to start conserving water and collecting rain!

Region 9 - DER Success Stories
Welcome to Region 9's DER Success Stories! Read on for more information about the reused, renovated and rejuvenated areas in Region 9 that were once part of the Brownfield Cleanup Program (BCP), Environmental Restoration Program (ERP), State Superfund Program (SSF) or Voluntary Cleanup Program (VCP) - contaminated areas from our industrial past.
Site numbers are linked to the public environmental remediation database. PDF documents available online may be abbreviated, but full project documents are always available at the site's document repository.
DEC invites you to sign up with one or more contaminated sites county email listservs available. It's quick, it's free, and it will help keep you better informed. To receive electronic copies of Region 9 remedial program fact sheets as soon as they are issued, find the county you are interested in on the County Listserv page and sign up! As a listserv member, you will periodically receive site-related information/announcements for all contaminated sites in the county(ies) you select.
Cattaraugus County
Bush Industries (Site Number E905029) - The Bush Industries brownfield site is a 4.4 acre property that was formerly the location of the Setter Brothers/Bush Industries veneer manufacturing facility. The property had been involved in commercial operations since the early 1900's and was once the location of the Standard Oil facility, an apple evaporator facility, and a gasoline service facility. Cleanup action, called an Interim Remedial Measure (IRM), was performed in 2007 to remove approximately 3,400 tons of soil contaminated with petroleum and to demolish and properly dispose of asbestos-containing buildings and structures. The property was certified clean by DEC in November 2010. It is currently vacant and is owned by the Village of Cattaraugus.

Chautauqua County
DC Rollforms (Site Number 907019) - The D.C. Rollforms brownfield site, in the City of Jamestown, was a 2.4 acre property formerly the location of the Proto Tool Company, which was a unit of the Ingersoll Rand Company. Proto Tool manufactured specialty tools for mechanics, electricians, and plumbers until operations ceased in 1984. The tool making operations involved processes such as forging, machining, heat treating and quenching, electroplating, and vapor degreasing. The site, which encompasses the Chadokoin River, was contaminated with wastes generated from these processes. Primary contaminants of concern included trichloroethene, dichlorethene, vinyl chloride, toluene, xylenes, metals, and oil. Remedial activities, which included excavation of contaminated soil, construction of river barriers to prevent additional contamination, and shoreline stabilization, are complete. The property was certified remediated by DEC in July 2009.

330 Maple Road (Site Number C915207) - The site is an approximately 26-acre large portion of the larger former Buffalo Shooting Club, located along Maple Road, and was used as a shooting range from approximately 1943 to 2006. Former shooting range operations have impacted on-site soil with lead and PAHs, which required excavation and offsite disposal that was completed from May to December 2011. The property was certified remediated by DEC in May 7, 2012. There is no construction to date but it is currently owned by a student housing developer (2014).

2137 Seneca Street/Former Pizza Hut (Site Number V00370) - This brownfield site was located on the south corner of Seneca Street and Kingston Place in a mixed commercial/residential part of the City of Buffalo. The site was approximately 2/3 of an acre in size and almost entirely covered by asphalt and a vacant restaurant. Historically, the site was once occupied by homes, a pharmacy, a retail tire store, and business offices. Prior uses also included a dry cleaning store and auto service garage, which presumably contributed to the site contamination. The site contained both contaminated groundwater and soil, which was treated and removed as the project progressed. The site was certified clean by DEC in December 2011. It is currently a Dollar General.

2530 Hamburg Turnpike (Site Number C915191) - This brownfield site was a vacant lot (Spill No. 04-74033) that was contaminated by old gasoline and petroleum products left by a filling station that had operated in the 1940s. Several hotspots of volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds were excavated during the summer of 2005 and the work was completed in the fall of 2005. Certificate of Completion was signed on September 8, 2006. The volunteer planned to re-use the site for commercial purposes as a full-service gas station.

Buffalo Lakeside Commerce Park (Site Number C915185) - The Buffalo Lakeside Commerce Park site was once a vacant lot in an urban industrial area on the southern perimeter of the City of Buffalo. The site was comprised of a 25-acre portion of two larger parcels of the former Hanna Furnace iron foundry. The two larger parcels were each the subject of previous investigation and existing Voluntary Cleanup Agreements. Roadways have been constructed into the new development and the Site's current street address is 231 Ship Canal Parkway, Buffalo, NY. The Certificate of Completion was issued in December 2005. Since remediation work was completed, several manufacturers have built facilities on the land.

Buffalo Urban Renewal Agency West Property (Site Number C915195) - This site is the location of a former Manufactured Gas Plant (MGP) which was operated by various companies from 1848 to 1948. The 1.65 acre site was initially investigated by the owner - National Fuel Gas - during the period 1989 to 2004. (Refer to site #V00362). The investigation confirmed the presence of MGP wastes (containing benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, total cyanides) in soil and groundwater at the site. The site remediation consisted of excavation and off-site disposal of contaminated soils above the predetermined cleanup levels and backfilling with clean soil/material. Work was completed in 2006 and a Certificate of Completion was issued on November 30, 2006. The cleanup has resulted in the construction of an approximately 350,000 square foot HealthNow building at the remediated site.

Cobey-Buffalo Lakeside Commerce Park-Parcels 1&2(Site Number C915202) - A Brownfield Cleanup Application to remediate 12.3 acres of land at the Buffalo Lakeside Commerce Park (formerly the Hanna Furnace iron foundry) was accepted in 2006. The development included the building of an approximately 90,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility. The site is located on one of the commerce park's new roads, Ship Canal Parkway, in the City of Buffalo. Contaminants from the site's former use by Hanna Furnace including petroleum, metals and SVOCs impacted the soil. Comprehensive environmental studies were completed previously and the Volunteer submitted a Remedial Action Work Plan to remove all contaminated soils above site specific action levels encountered during construction. A soil cover was provided and is maintained under the Site Management Plan. Remediation and site redevelopment was completed in 2006. A Certificate of Completion was issued on December 7, 2006. The site is restricted to industrial use and is currently the location of Cobey Manufacturing.

East Ferry Street (Site Number 915175) - The East Ferry Street brownfield site was the former home of the Michael Heyman Company, which operated a zinc and lead smelting and refining facility on the 3.32 acre property. High concentrations of lead were detected in the ash and fill found on the site. In 2001 and 2004, DEC conducted off-site investigations, and the results indicated that the contamination extended to the west and into several other industrial and commercial properties. These findings prompted DEC to establish more extensive cleanup goals for the site. Cleanup included the excavation of 136,234 tons of lead contaminated soil and 77 cubic yards of PCB soils along with two underground storage tanks containing fuel oil. Old tires, construction and demolition debris was also removed. What was excavated was replaced with 104,156 cubic yards of clean fill. Cleanup work was completed in January 2008. Collaboration between DEC, the local church, and community leaders helped transform the brownfield into usable land.

Lackawanna Business Park (Site Number B00080) - This 8.14 acre site is part of a 54 acre planned Lackawanna Creekside Commercial Corridor. The area is largely abandoned or underutilized former industrial property. A Phase I Site Assessment was conducted in 1998 followed by a Site Investigation (SI). The results of the SI showed low levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and metals across the property with a small area of elevated chromium concentrations in surface soil. As a result of these activities, 428 cubic yards of debris were removed and properly disposed of or recycled from the site. In addition, 1400 tons of chromium-contaminated soil was excavated and properly disposed of. The site is currently vacant and zoned for industrial use. One parcel was zoned and is now home to Alliance Innovative Manufacturing Inc.

Outer Harbor Greenbelt (Site Number B00149) - The site is an approximately 16-acre portion of a larger (110-acre), vacant parcel of commercial land owned by the Erie Canal Harbor Development Corporation. The land was reclaimed from the harbor by filling activities which occurred over a period of nearly 100 years, from the 1870s to the 1960s. The northeastern portion of the property was once a municipal dump which received ashes, noncombustible rubbish and other residue from the City of Buffalo waste incinerators. Most of the property, including the Greenbelt site, however, is made up of sediments dredged from local slips, canals, and the Buffalo Outer Harbor shipping channels. Construction and demolition debris (e.g. concrete slabs and broken brick) from various local projects were also found in the fill along the shoreline. From approximately 1969 to 1988, the reclaimed land was used for the storage of dry bulk materials such as rock salt, zircon and sand, foundry sand, iron ore pellets, ball and china clay, gypsum, potash, and scrap metal. It was the disposal of the dredged harbor sediments and storage of the dry bulk materials that led to the Greenbelt site contamination. Remedial construction that included removal of contaminated soil, addition of soil cover, and shoreline stabilization, began in October 2006 and was substantially completed in August 2008. DEC signed the Certificate of Completion in April 2012, and the site is currently utilized as recreation space.

Niagara Street and Pennsylvania Avenue (Site Number C915223) - This 0.27 acre brownfield site, in the City of Buffalo, was home to an auto repair and gasoline retail facility, which contaminated the soil and groundwater with petroleum. Cleanup activities included the demolition of the structures on the site, removal of five underground storage tanks and piping, and excavation and off-site removal of impacted soil. DEC issued a Certificate of Completion in December 2009. The site is now a Family Dollar.

Tecumseh Business Park - Steel Winds area (Site Numbers C915205) - This 29.05 acre property once was home to the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, Lackawanna Works, and was formerly used for the production of steel, coke, and related products. Steel production on the property was discontinued in 1983 and the coke ovens ceased activity in 2000. Portions of the property were severely impacted by contaminants associated with steel and coke production. In 2006 and 2007, a portion of the Tecumseh property, now known as Steel Winds, was remediated and developed for a clean energy project. The Steel Winds site is a narrow, approximately 30 acre portion on the western edge of the Tecumseh property, located in the City of Lackawanna. The COC was issued in December 2007. Currently, the site is a gently-graded and vegetated parcel. BQ Energy and UPC Wind constructed an eight turbine wind farm that produces an estimated 20 mega watts of clean electric power. The wind turbines began full operation in 2007.

1 Bristol Avenue (Site Number E932125) - This 1.0 acre brownfield site in Lockport was used at one time for agricultural retail. Oil and gas storage tanks at the site leaked and impacted the area with petroleum products. Previous investigations indicated that the site's soil and groundwater were impacted with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and metals. Contaminated soils and underground storage tanks at the site were excavated and removed. DEC determined the cleanup actions fully addressed contamination in February 2009, and a Certificate of Completion was issued in August 2009.

4 New Seventh Street (Site Number C915203) - The site is approximately 1.66 acres and is located at 4 New Seventh Street in the City of Buffalo, Erie County. The subject property was vacant land located in a predominantly commercial and residential area of the downtown area of the City of Buffalo. The subject property was formerly used as a coal yard (1889-1899), a gasoline service station (1927-1966), and for manufacturing purposes. Environmental investigations were conducted in 2003-2005. An IRM was conducted in 2006 which excavated and removed 4,395 cubic yards of contaminated soil from the site. DEC issued a Certificate of Completion on December 22, 2006.

915 Cleveland Avenue (Site Number C932133) - The 915 Cleveland Avenue brownfield site is a .803 acre parcel of land located in a predominantly commercial and residential area in the City of Niagara Falls. The site is a portion of an area that has been redeveloped as the Niagara Falls Municipal Complex. It is located 0.2 miles from the Niagara River. Historically, site had been used for commercial purposes, including an auto repair/service facility and dry cleaning facilities. These activities contaminated the site. A 2008 investigation confirmed that these activities had contaminated the soil with solvent-based VOCs, petroleum compounds, and to a lesser extent, heavy metals. These contaminants were present in subsurface soil and groundwater. Interim remedial measures conducted at the site successfully addressed contamination. DEC issued a Certificate of Completion in October 2010.

1501 College Ave (Site Number C932134) -This 12.25 acre BCP site is located in the north end of the City of Niagara Falls. It is situated in a generally industrialized area with nearby multi-family housing. Union Carbide operated the site as a manufacturing facility from 1910-1986. Products that were manufactured included specialty machined graphite, carbon liners, cathode blocks, and furnace electrodes. After 1986, the site was operated by Niagara Vest Corporation and later had been the site of illegal vehicle stripping and dumping. Known and suspected contaminants are Petroleum, SVOCs, Metals, and PCBs which were impacting soils. Remediation included the removal of contaminated water, PCB contaminated soil, construction debris, petroleum contaminated soil, Non Friable Asbestos containing materials, and waste oil. As a final step the site received a final clean soil cover. DEC issued a Certificate of Completion on December 31, 2012.

2250 Factory Outlet Boulevard (Site Number C932127) - The site is located at the north corner of Military Rd and Factory Outlet Blvd. in the Town of Niagara. The parcel is approximately 5 acres in size and was formerly occupied by Grossmans Lumber. The principal site contaminant is chromium, which was detected in shallow soils (less than 5 feet) in several areas of the site and appears to from past filling activities. Approximately 1,569 tons of chromium contaminated soil was disposed as hazardous waste. Approximately 5,359 tons of non-hazardous soil was also removed. The excavations were backfilled, and a Certificate of Completion was issued on December 14, 2007. Long term restrictions on the site limit the property to commercial use and restrict groundwater usage. NFTA has since constructed a bus terminal on the site.

6157 South Transit Road (Site Number C932130) - The brownfield site was a ~3.67 acre parcel located along South Transit Road and was used as an automobile dealership and service facility from approximately 1962 to 2008. Former automobile service and repair operations impacted on-site soil/fill and groundwater with VOCs and SVOCs. Remediation at the site, including excavation and removal of impacted soil and removal of abandoned underground storage tanks and associated piping, successfully addressed the contamination. DEC certified cleanup complete in October 2011. The site is currently the location of an automobile dealership.

7503 Niagara Falls Boulevard (Site Number C932126) - This site is approximately 0.89 acres. The property was formerly occupied by several commercial establishments, including various auto parts sales and auto repair facilities, leading to soil contamination. Known or suspected contaminants include chlorinated solvents such as TCE, PCE, as well as their degraded products. The groundwater and saturated soils in two small areas of the site have been impacted. Remediation work included injection of bioremediation material into the soil. The IRM field work was completed in November 2006. DEC issued a COC in February 2008. It has been redeveloped as a Wendy's Restaurant. Construction of the fast food restaurant has been completed and it is currently operating.

Commerce Square (Site Number E932141) - The Commerce Square Site in Lockport, NY was the former home of Harrison Radiator, a manufacturer of automobile parts. Preliminary environmental assessments indicate that the 8.6 acre site is contaminated with low concentrations of petroleum constituents in highly localized areas around former underground storage tanks, not under any of the buildings on the site. The site is currently classified as N* (No Further Action).
Electruk Battery (Site Number E932132) - The 1.4 acre Former Electruk Battery site in the Town of Lockport produced lead acid batteries from 1990 to 1996. A fire in 1995 damaged the facility and contaminated the property with lead. A cleanup action known as an interim remedial measure addressed contamination at the site by removing contaminated groundwater and soil from the area, and no further cleanup actions were deemed necessary. DEC issued a Certificate of Completion in March 2012. The site is currently occupied by Moley Magnetics, a manufacturer of electromagnets and accessories.

Globe and Solsil (3807 Highland Avenue, Site Number C932145) - The 22.25 acre Globe and Solsil brownfield site was located in a heavily industrialized area of Niagara Falls and was surrounded by current or former heavy industrial properties. It was used for a number of industrial purposes, which contaminated the property mainly with toxic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and heavy metals. Cleanup activities included the removal of aboveground storage tanks, excavation and removal of both hazardous and non-hazardous soil, and removal of 54 drums of hazardous waste. DEC certified the site cleanup completed in June 2010. The site is now occupied by Globe Specialty Metals Inc., a manufacturer of silicon for photovoltaic cells.

Former Mill No. 2 (Site Number C932150) - The Former Mill No. 2, located on 18.52 acres of land in a highly industrialized urban area of Niagara Falls, historically housed paper manufacturing, finishing and packaging operations of finished goods. The facility consisted of several interconnected buildings which were constructed between 1923 and 1974. The former mill was taken out of service several years ago and had fallen into disrepair. A portion of the site had also experienced a significant fire that caused additional structural deficiencies and contributed to the overall building decay. Several radioactive "hotspots" were identified during the environmental investigation in addition to chemical contamination. Cleanup activities on the site included removal of the structures on-site and removal of radioactive and chemically contaminated soil. DEC issued a Certificate of Completion in June 2012. The site is currently owned by GreenPac, and operates as a manufacturer of green packaging solutions.

Remington Rand (Site Number C932142) - This 1.8 acre brownfield site consisted largely of several dilapidated industrial-type buildings that fell into disrepair. Over the last 100 years, it had been used for industrial and manufacturing purposes. Contaminants including petroleum, chlorinated solvents, PAHs, metals, and PCBs impacted soil and groundwater. Several IRMs were performed to address contamination. They were completed in August 2010. The site will be redeveloped for restricted residential purposes. DEC signed the Certificate of Completion on November 30, 2010.

SGL Carbon (Site Number C932146) - The former SGL Carbon manufactured graphite in Niagara Falls. The site is located on 17.1 acres of land from 6100-6200 Niagara Falls Boulevard. Environmental issues on the site include waste and ash disposal, and documented spills and petroleum releases. PAHs and metals have been detected in site soils. The Brownfield Cleanup Agreement originally signed by Ashland Advanced Materials, LLC was terminated in March 2011 because of failure to meet deadlines, and because no hazardous waste was detected above acceptable levels, the site was designated N* (No Further Action).
Whirlpool Rapids Bridge (Site Number V00655) -Whirlpool Rapids Bridge, constructed in 1897, is one of the three bridges connecting the United States and Canada in the Niagara Falls NY area. The Bridge structure and property have been owned and operated by the Niagara Falls Bridge Commission since 1937. Adjacent areas include the Niagara River and the vegetated river gorge wall and slope. The area is part of the New York State Parks system and includes a hiking path which crosses the site along the gorge floor. Over time the bridge and surrounding areas became contaminated with lead, heavy metals and PAHs. Contamination came from blast cleaning the bridge which left behind spent abrasives and paint waste. As a remedy 1,037 tons of soil was excavated and disposed of at a hazardous waste landfill. The trail around the bridge was restored with a much improved landscape. The project received a release letter from DEC on June 23, 2006.

A&A Metals (Site Number C961011) - The 12.1 acre site was originally used in the early 20th century by Kaustine Furnace & Tank Corporation, a manufacturer of large steel tanks. A&A Metal, Inc. was the last known owner and operator of the site. A&A also manufactured large metal tanks and industrial smokestacks and ceased operations at the site in 2001, and the site has been abandoned since 2002. Previous environmental investigations at the site identified elevated levels of oil-like semi-volatile organic compounds in the wood floor blocks within the building, within fill materials observed on the side slopes of the parking lot, and within the sand blast residue. Additionally, elevated levels of metals (including lead) that exceeded New York State standards were observed in fill materials. Since, however, no hazardous waste was found, the site did not meet the requirements for inclusion on the registry, and the site has been classified N* (No Further Action). Further actions will be taken under Spill No.1109868.

Hungary's Soul: Liszt and Gypsy Music
Hungarian-born poet George Szirtes visits Budapest to explore Liszt's gypsy music, considering how much it can be described as 'Hungarian' and how much as 'Roma'.
Presented by George Szirtes
Hungary has become synonymous with gypsy music. In the 200th Anniversary year of Liszt's birth, the Hungarian-born poet George Szirtes set off to Budapest to follow Liszt's book on gypsy music, to discover what might be meant by gypsy music by other people and what it is about this music that is or is not Hungarian.
Liszt's book (1859) is the starting point of George Szirtes's search that takes in Hungary's turbulent history, through two world wars and communism to now. George Szirtes speaks to prominent gypsy musicians like violinist Roby Lakatos and cimbalom player Kalman Balogh, and also the internationally renowned folk singer Marta Sebestyen.
He also travels to the north-east region of the Great Hungarian Plain, where there are many rural Roma villages and where he speaks to members of the band Parno Graszt to find out about rural gypsy music today. The programme includes original field recordings of Parno Graszt which were recorded in one of the band members' home, as well as a rich mix of recorded music.
In Budapest, George Szirtes speaks to Kodaly's last-living student, Balint Sarosi, Peter Szuhay, who is the curator of an exhibition on Liszt and Gypsy Music, and an expert on Roma life at the Hungarian Academy, Katalin Kovalcsik. He also speaks to Agnes Osztolykan, who is the first female Roma representative in the Hungarian Parliament and a recent winner of the International Women of Courage Award.
Before travelling to Budapest, he speaks to concert pianist and Liszt expert, Leslie Howard and the world-music writer, Simon Broughton.
The programme ends with a newly commissioned poem by George Szirtes that reflects on his personal search for Liszt's gypsy music.
Producer: Elizabeth Arno
First broadcast in October 2011.

For Firefox (32bit) from fedora.us I needed no special libs from iX86 on x86_64.
Yes, often, this is annoying. QT had such a problem also IIRC. Was hard to get a 32bit xine run on an 64bit FC2 (now there are 64bit xine available at livna.org this is easier again)... But I don't think /usr/ bin64 or something like that is specified somewhere (LSB)? Maybe this could be solved by /usr/bin/qtconfig-32 /usr/bin/qtconfig-64 and a script or link that points to the right Version?

Point Of View
Hello and welcome back to my humble meta-world.
I apologize for the long break since the last post. It's not that I didn't have anything to write, quite the opposite… I had tons of writing to do on my novel…Plus I'm still a little sick. And I can throw in a couple of less convincing excuses if you twist my arm 😉 But last night, as I was unable to sleep, I watched the Pearl Jam Twenty movie (It's on Netflix people! – No excuses not to watch!)

You will also get a glance of the external antagonistic forces and perhaps you might even think there's a good story about to unfold. This Saturday and Sunday I heard a knock on my door. The sky got darker and I heard ominous music play. It got louder as I came closer to the door. I opened it and… Continue reading


text: Pooja, daughter of Mahesh Bhatt, says, "finally UG has left my father with a taste of life." Today Mahesh Bhatt is a much mellowed down, changed man – and now the never before heard small acts of flowers falling on his cheeks, and a dog wagging his/her tail, are of more life-juicy, significance and senseful. With the series of the lauching of his newly released book, "A Taste of Life: the last days of UG", Mahesh Bhatt is at his best, serving straight the 'taste of life' and there by demystifying the shackles of fraudulently held holy world of myths like gods, sermons, and the gurus; and saying that 'the only meaning of life is LIFE'. Perhaps, the best tribute we may pay to UG is to never to make him another God, but to Undo God (UG). You may listen to a few words of Pooja Bhatt, straight from her heart, on a recent launch of this book there on this video clip accessible on Youtube:

Losing eyesight, that's one fear I bet everyone has. I do, infact it's one of my biggest fears. I always wondered what if it happens to me. It's one thing to not be able to see the beauty of life but to survive in today's fast world without eyesight, well we can only wonder.. and thank God for that.
It's a different thing to wonder out loud but to experience it first hand, now that's something.
Dialogue in the dark is a part of ACE experiences. ACE's business mission is to educate people on socially relevant themes using the medium of experiential entertainment.
They use entertainment as a medium for brining about a social change. Their mission is to bring one-of-a-kind entertaining and transformational experiences to India. To offer experiences that enable people to appreciate diversity, empathise with others, and develop individual social responsibility. And to develop employment opportunities for the differently abled.
This idea was originally conceptualised in Germany and it was introduced in India by Mr. Krishnan and Mrs. Sudha Krishnan. They opened first in Hyderabad, then went on to start it in Bangalore, Raipur and finally in Chennai.
My experience: We (5 of us) were informed to leave our bags, specs, phones, watches and almost everything in lockers. We were informed that we will be guided once inside by staff who are all visually impaired.
We walked in a line, hands on shoulders and the first one guided by a member of the crew. A Mr. Vel Murugan, was our guide, he was our eyes. Once inside, the darkness engulfed us. It was pitch dark. I experienced a few minutes of panic. We were guided to our seats by our Guide. Now our roles were reversed. Once seated I felt a little calm thanks to the funny convos at the table.
The sound of flute playing was very soothing and with the sense of sight gone, my other senses were heightened.
Mr. Vel made sure we were comfortable before moving on to the activity. We began with a small game. We were all handed different letters and as a group we were asked to form a word within five minutes. It took us three minutes to guess and discuss the letter we had. The next two minutes were wasted on guessing the word. A clue from our guide helped us guess it.
Next we were asked our food preferences. With in few minutes our food arrived one by one. Now comes the toughest part which is normally a piece of cake for us.
Eating – in darkness.
We were all given casseroles. We were asked to open it, eat and place it back in the same order once done. I fumbled in darkness with the food. Eating with cutlery was tough so I had to put them aside and continue eating with hands. The food we were served was one of the most delicious food I've had ever.
It was the regular tandoori chicken, pulao, chicken gravy and roti. Perfectly spiced and cooked to perfection, nothing to complain.
Dialogue in the dark was a very emotional experience for me. I was guided and served and helped in every which way yet I found it very hard to do even mundane activities. I can only imagine how tough it must be to survive without sight.
I couldn't stop myself from silently weeping and thanking my Creator for all the blessings that we generally overlook.
Now I invite you to experience it first hand. Dialogue in the dark is located in Express Avenue Mall. And is open on all days from 11 am-10 pm.
The first thing I did after I got out was – pledge my eyes, hoping my donation will help make change in someone's life.
You can learn more about it here.
Experience it. Get inspired.

Welcome to Poshmark, a virtual consignment store that allows you to shop the closets of users all over the United States, as well as sell your own gently used items and earn cash for them.
You know that jewelry your ex gave you? What about that pair of jeans you used to wear all the time but haven't picked up in a while? All of these and other items that have been relegated to the far recesses of your closet can now be posted to Poshmark to find better homes and fill your wallet. Click "more" and we'll take a look.
Like the article? You should subscribe and follow us on twitter.
Get Started
You can sign in to Poshmark using Facebook, or you can create an account using your email address. If you opt for the latter, the app will ask you to choose a user name, plus provide your first and last name, as well as a profile image.
Once you're all set up account-wise, Poshmark will then give you the option of supplying a few more details which will make for a more expertly tailored shopping experience: your shoe size, your dress size and where you live. As a result, the app will set your account to automatically follow users who are in your area, or whose virtual closet features a number of items in your sizes. Like I said, though, supplying those details about yourself is purely optional!
Get Browsing
After you are logged in to Poshmark and have provided all the information about yourself the app needs, you will be taken to the Feed. Here you can view the very latest, including what other users are posting, aka selling, as well as users' comments on the items up for grabs.
There's a refresh button at the top right, so you can stay on the cutting edge of the action. And as you scroll down you'll see item after item that's been posted for sale, including its original value, Poshmark price, size, and other details. You can also view the number of comments and likes the item has received, as well as the first few comments from users. Add your own comments; or, share the listing with your followers, or via Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, email or SMS.
Tap on any item for more details or to buy it. Tap on any user's name to view his or her profile. On the profile page you can see the user's listings, follow him or her, and see who he or she is following.
Get Partying
The next tab over from Feed is Parties, which is where you'll find a list of all the Posh Parties — past, present and future. A Posh Party is a virtual shopping event, and the Poshmark team hosts brand-themed parties (like "Dior, Chanel and Prada") during the day and trend-themed parties (like "City Romance") in the evening. You can also shop special showrooms in the evenings, which is where style bloggers and other tastemakers curate their own collections for other users to shop.
While sometimes it can be fun to browse all the various parties going on, at other times it's useful to be able to narrow the field. This is what the Filter button is for, and by using it you can ask to be served results in a specific category, size, availability, and/or condition.
Get Selling
It's clear the Poshmark team has tried to make selling items as easy as possible. To start, tap the Sell tab, which will automatically put you into camera mode. (You are given the option of uploading a photo from your library, too.) Snap a photo of your fabulous item using Poshmark's Covershot system, which supplies a number of filters (with names like Retro, Vintage, Chic and Modern) you can apply to the image before posting it.
If you decide to give Poshmark a try, you can read all the finer details about the selling process (and buying process, too, for that matter!), but here's the gist. It's free to post listings. When your item sells, Poshmark mails you a pre-paid and pre-addressing shipping label so that all you have to do is drop the goods in the mail. And the best part: You get to keep 80 percent of the sale price as earnings (Poshmark takes the 20 percent commission). Once the buyer receives your shipment, the funds are deposited into your Poshmark account; you can use these earnings toward Poshmark merchandise, or withdraw them via either a transfer to a bank account or check request.
Get Busy
The News tab is second from right. Similar to your Feed, it has a refresh button in the top right and is filled with up-to-the-minute info regarding happenings on Poshmark. But unlike in the Feed, all these events are directly related to you, for example, party invitations you've received, comments directed at you, notifications of new followers and so on.
And finally, the last tab is for your profile and account. Here you can invite friends, search for people, plus view: My Closet, My Likes, My Purchases, My Sales, and My Balance. Edit your profile, adjust sharing settings and push notifications, and check out the support center.
Final Thoughts
Poshmark is as close as you can get to a virtual consignment shop, in my opinion, and I had a very difficult time putting it down. That said, there are a few things the app could be doing better. For one, the different photo filters are fun, but the fact that they can distort the colors of the item can make it tough to determine the item's real shade and texture.
Also, I'd like to see more filters to sort through all the party items — for example, price or price range. And while we're at it, it wouldn't hurt Poshmark to recruit some more guy users somehow, would it? I know there have got to be some stylish dudes out there who would love scoring some designer duds on a shoestring budget.
And while I admit I can't speak of the precise processes of buying or selling, I can speak of my experiences as a shopper, and if Poshmark was aiming to create a buy-and-sell environment that is so addictive and easy to use that a person can't put the app down, I'd say they've done something very right.
