1957 Ford F-100 - One of a Kind
More Than A Hundred Body Mods Make This "Effie" Unique
It's a situation we've seen many times before. Early childhood memories often become the motivation for the current custom ride in your driveway. When we relive those pleasant moments of cruising in the family vehicle as a kid, it often leads to the next project vehicle in the garage. That's about the way it began for Gary Coe from Portland, Oregon. Gary became an enthusiast at an early age and now earns a living with his hobby, owning several tow truck and car-related businesses. This beautiful custom '57 F-100 wasn't scheduled to be part of Gary's collection when it first showed up on his storage lot. He had something else in mind. The old truck brought back memories of the '57 "big back window" Ford that his father bought new. Gary's plan was to restore it and present it to Dad as a gift. As it turned out, Dad needed a bigger vehicle for his business so, staying flexible, Gary decided to create a one-of-a-kind addition to his own collection. Over the years, he has owned a multitude of special vehicles and usually does his own work. This time the plan was different with Gary opting to become the designer instead of the builder. The talented team at Steve's Auto Restorations in Portland, Oregon took on the challenge of turning the truck into Gary's "F-157" dream ride.
Like many enthusiasts, Gary had accumulated a mental list of changes he would make if the truck like this ever became available. Putting the list on paper was the first step in what would turn out to be a 3½-year build! Gary smiles when he says the list grew considerably over time. No average custom, this F-100 has more than a hundred body surgeries that began with a proposed 2-inch top chop from above the windshield and a 1-inch trim along the bottom edge of the body. Inside, the custom interior would have a unique '55 Thunderbird-style bench seat with a padded dash with a French seam that flowed from the dash, through the doors, and rearward to the B-pillar. The bed would also be one of a kind.
While the plans for the body were being refined, the handcrafted frame was fabricated, featuring a tall C-notch that would allow the ground skimming, 5.5-inch ride clearance. Modern suspension upgrades were a must and the truck got its autocross-level handling from a combination of aftermarket upgrades that began with a Heidts Mustang II front end, a custom fabricated four-link rear, and QA1 coilovers on all four corners. Baer 13-inch disc brakes up front and 12-inch versions in the rear ensured modern stopping power. To accommodate the wide and tall 20-inch chrome Budnik wheels, the rear wheeltubs were raised 6 inches and widened 2 inches. Matching 18-inch Budniks were added up front.
Work began on the vintage Ford sheetmetal, using the list that the builders and the owner were jointly revising on a regular basis. In fact, the final tally took up two pages in Gary's tech sheet! Each was designed to accent the Ford's classic lines while making the truck lower and longer, and at the same time, adding an air of elegance and luxury. The top was chopped and 1.5 inches sectioned from the cab below the door handles. The door handles were shaved, the hood was pancaked, and the front fenders sectioned 2 inches in order to reshape the wheel opening. The grille and the tailgate were both angled forward to match the A- and B-pillars. To achieve this "forward look," the hood was extended and the slim '66 Econoline front bumper was trimmed and tucked closer to the body. The subtle peak in the bumper matches the peak in the sectioned grille. Faired-in frenched headlights create a seamless line on the fenders. In the rear, a second Econoline bumper was used, narrowed 6 inches and with the ends contoured to tuck closely into the body.

A tremendous amount of imagination and skill went into redesigning the bed. The recontoured tailgate sports a distinctive Ford logo, created by pressing steel letters into a piece of sheetmetal, then welding it in place. The bed floor was raised to accommodate the chassis mods, then hinged at the forward edge to provide access to a storage compartment for Gary's cleaning supplies. Drop the tailgate and the bed slides rearward, exposing the filler cap for the truck's twin gas tanks. Cosmetics in the bed combine oak plywood and a sheet of polished stainless steel, precisely blended together thanks to a CNC machine. Like everything else on this truck, careful thought went into each change with the ridges in the bed matching the ridges in the hood as well as the stainless steel accents added to the headliner. The clean round taillights and the parking lights cut into in the front bumper are Hummer H2 reflectors with housings made from exhaust tubing and accented with chrome rings.
As the body was taking shape, work was also underway inside with upholsterer Paul Reichen in Everett, Washington, carefully checking items off Gary's long list. The T-bird styled, separated-bucket bench seat, matching door panels and headliner were stitched in Buttery Tan leather. That distinctive French seam mentioned earlier runs through the dash and doors. Since space is always at a premium, the area behind the seats was pressed into service to hold the truck's electronics. Metal work inside included a smooth dash redesigned to hold a '96 Mustang gauge cluster and just one switch for the headlights. The rest of the truck's controls and the Alpine stereo were relocated to the glove compartment. The painted-to-match Ididit steering column holds the custom-made steering wheel with "F-157" logo.
Although the truck is bristling with custom touches inside and out, one of the biggest surprises is under the hood. Gary chose a 32-valve, 4.6L Four-Valve Mustang V-8 for motive power and even though the Mod motor has plenty of get-up-and-go, more is always better. The distinctive Kenne Bell blower looks good and helps to send the highly optioned Ford through the quarter in the high 14s. Airbrushed sheetmetal covers hide the coil packs, the chrome air ducts hide wires and injectors, and the new inner fender panels duct cold air from a central point in the grille. The firewall is smoothed and recesses in the inner fender panels provide clearance for the hood hinges. The final step in the 3½-year build was the deep red, House of Kolor Blue Blood paintjob, accented with Argent Silver under the hood.
Gary says the excitement of the build process increased every day as his dream truck was coming together. Of course, nothing can compare to finally getting behind the wheel and joining other like-minded enthusiasts at shows. When we photographed his unique "F-157" at the F-100 Super Nationals in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, it earned a Best Custom Award, an Editor's Choice, and a coveted Truck of the Year award for his class.

Colorado junior cornerback Ken Crawley looking "scrappier" this year
BOULDER — Although Colorado junior Ken Crawley is a two-year starter, the native of Washington, D.C., entered August drills sharing the top spot on the depth chart at right cornerback with a newcomer, junior-college transfer Ahkello Witherspoon.
Colorado has not released an updated depth chart, but judging from comments made by coach Mike MacIntyre, it appears Crawley has done his part.
"Kenneth has improved a lot," MacIntyre said Thursday. "He makes more plays on the ball. He is playing with more confidence. He's more physical. I'm excited about what he's doing.
"He's gotten bigger and stronger too," MacIntyre added. "He's a lot scrappier."

Oprah Winfrey makes 'biggest' donation to new museum
American talk-show host Oprah Winfrey is donating $12m (£7.7m) towards a new museum in Washington DC dedicated to African American history.
After previously giving $1m (£640,000) to the National Museum of African American History and Culture, her total contribution is its biggest so far.
The museum on Washington's National Mall is due to be completed in 2015.
It will house a 35-seat theatre named after Winfrey, who is also a member of the museum's advisory council.
Lonnie Bunch, director of the museum said the media mogul had been very much involved in its creation and talks were taking place to acquire memorabilia from her career.
'Deeply appreciative'
He said he would love to have one of the microphones used during her television show - one of the most-watched programmes in US history, which ended after 25 years in 2011 - to add to the museum's collection of more than 22,000 items.
The collection helps to tell the story of African American history from slavery to the post-Civil War period, the civil rights era, the Harlem Renaissance and the 21st Century.
In a statement released by the museum, Winfrey said: "I am deeply appreciative of those who paved the path for me and all who follow in their footsteps.
"By investing in this museum, I want to help ensure that we both honour and preserve our culture and history, so that the stories of who we are will live on for generations to come," she added.
Costing $500m (£319m) to build, the US government is providing half of the funding with the remainder being raised through private donations.
When in opens in 2015, it will be the 19th Smithsonian museum.
Some of the items which will be displayed include the glass-topped casket that held the body of 14-year-old Emmett Till, whose 1955 murder in Mississippi for whistling at a white woman helped spark the civil rights movement.
The museum's most recent big acquisition was a South Carolina slave cabin dating from the 19th Century.
The cabin from Edisto Island was disassembled in May in preparation for its move to the museum.

Treasure Chest Thursday -- Grandma's Cake Plate
When grandma Smedley made a cake this is the plate and lid she would use. If I remember right the kind of cake we found the most under there was german chocolate or a spice cake.
On the bottom of the plate is a piece of tape with her name on it because sometimes she would make a cake and take it to various social events and that would ensure that it was returned to her. I have left the tape there and hopefully it will stay there forever and ever and ever amen! (It has made it so far through numerous washings.)
The plate is made by Fireking and it is peach luster in color with a laurel pattern. I enjoy the plate so much that I have started to collect the set. The only pieces I don't have are 3 other plates just like this one, and two big bowls.
2 comments:
Very special! And to have her name on the bottom and double special!! You cake plate reminds me of our next door neighbors cake plate. I was aluminum and was for birthday cakes. When you pushed a little button on the bottom, it would turn slowly and play Happy Birthday. It was a staple for my childhood birthday parties. Thanks for triggering that memory for me.ReplyDelete
This cake plate caught my eye! My grandmother gave me one very similar to this a few years ago - I almost told her I didn't want it (glad I didn't!) Mine has a wooden knob and the plate is clear cut glass. I had never seen one before or since - Very cool that someone else has one!ReplyDelete
I have added myself as a follower of your blog - I think we have a lot in common - I too am heartbroken seeing family heirlooms and photos sitting in fleamarkts, junk stores and so-called antique shops - it takes all my strength not to purchase it all (dh wouldn't undertand :-) Thanks for sharing your finds!

A New Challenge
Editor's Note: This article, with slight editing, is the text of a speech given by Mr Steele at the Town Hall of Los Angeles on November 17, 1981.
The issue is productivity, and my perspective is that of the chief executive officer of an international accounting firm. At Deloitte Haskins & Sells, we share the challenge common to all business enterprises: increasing productivity And as the provider of audit, tax and management advisory services to thousands of businesses around the world, we see first-hand their efforts to meet that challenge.
My objective is to trigger some ideas for action—ideas you might apply in your own business. I believe that these ideas apply to either a large or small business, a manufacturing enterprise or a profes-sional practice like my own firm.

Debate touches on pros and cons of raising state minimum wage
Some of the first bills introduced at the Minnesota Legislature this year would raise the state's minimum wage, which has not increased since 2005.
The federal standard of $7.25 an hour applies to people who work for large companies or companies that engage in interstate commerce. The state minimum wage for the smallest businesses is $5.25 an hour.
The bills being considered would raise the minimum wage and include a mechanism that would keep the wage rising with inflation each year.
Two experts joined a discussion with Cathy Wurzer on "Morning Edition" about the pros and cons of raising the state minimum wage: Kris Jacobs, the executive director of the JOBS NOW Coalition, who supports the idea; and Mike Hickey, the Minnesota state director of the National Federation of Independent Business. He opposes raising the minimum wage.
Cathy Wurzer: Kris, why do we need to raise the minimum wage?
Kris Jacobs: It's been a long time since the wage has been raised. Most of the people who work for the minimum wage spend their money immediately.
Wurzer: In terms of rent or food or that kind of thing?
Jacobs: Absolutely. And that additional raise is a stimulant to the economy because minimum-wage workers spend their money on the ground, in their local communities. But it's a matter of basic human decency. People who work for a living should be able to meet their very basic needs. And we think it's time.
Wurzer: I want to bring Mike in here, but first I want to ask you, how far do you want to see the minimum wage go up?
Jacobs: Well, we have a bill that we're supporting, the Family Economic Security Act, which brings the minimum wage up to $9.50 an hour over two years. And I dare say we'll probably see others because the time is passed.
Wurzer: Senate File 3 raises the minimum wage. Mike Hickey, when you look at the language, just philosophically, it hasn't been raised since 2005 and some of the businesses you represent have minimum-wage workers. Why not hike the minimum wage?
Mike Hickey: Well, obviously this issue comes up every once in a while and it's definitely in play this year. The vast majority of people earning a minimum wage are not a head of a household. The vast majority, it's a second, third or fourth income in a household. But you raise this wage too high and part-time jobs are going to disappear for people. That's going to hurt families who use a second, third or a fourth income.
Wurzer: Why would those jobs go away? Employers can't afford to pay?
Hickey: There's only so much an employer is going to pay to hire a young person or a part-time person. You start getting it up in the $8 or $9 per hour, a lot of employers are going to say that this is not worth the time and effort to train this person for that amount of money. These jobs are going to disappear. It's mostly for younger people, and it's a way to subsidize their income and a way to subsidize their family's income.
Wurzer: Kris, do you agree with that?
Jacobs: Most of the people who earn the minimum wage are women. And what I would disagree with here is that many people would like to work full time, and full-time minimum wage workers earn $15,000 a year. Senate File 3 raises the minimum wage by a quarter, which means $10 a week. I don't think $10 a week is too much. They need their income, and income inequality is huge problem in America. And one way we can get at it is to make sure wages go up the way they should.
Wurzer: What about Mike's contention that if employers have to pay the higher wage then they're just not going to hire people?
Jacobs: Well, maybe you don't have a viable business if you can't pay $5.25 if you're a small employer, if you can't pay $6.15, if you can't pay $7.25. We would question that argument seriously.
Wurzer: Mike Hickey?
Hickey: Well, there are consequences to raising the wage dramatically, and businesses are going to react any way they have to. Jobs are going to disappear. A lot of employers are not going to pay that to some young person who they have to totally train, who may come in with almost no work experience whatsoever. For a lot of these people, it's their first job.
Wurzer: What about the escalator part of this. In terms of indexing to...
Jacobs: We don't believe in locking in a loss.
Hickey: That's the worst part of this bill. Because what it does is that it puts the whole thing on autopilot. We're tying it to the CPI, the Consumer Price Index, and the Legislature needs to visit this issue every once in a while. They're going to do it this year. Put on autopilot, our biggest concern is if we go into a period of high inflation and this wage is tied to an escalator, who knows how high it could go? Once again, it could get to a point where it gets so high that employers are not going to employ these people.
Wurzer: Kris is smiling and she's not buying any of this, Mike Hickey.
Jacobs: Well, employers already have a gift in the form of a $3 subsidy in not keeping pace with the inflationary value of the minimum wage. We think this has gone on for a long time. It's time to restore the floor on the minimum wage. We need minimum-wage workers to earn as much as they can.
Wurzer: Many economists believe the effects are kind of negligible because they say so few workers over the age of 25 earn minimum wage. Less than 2 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Jacobs: Well, half a million jobs pay less than $10 an hour. A million jobs pay less than what JOBS NOW calls a "family supporting wage" of $14 an hour. So Mr. Hickey ought to be happy to have an escalator on such a low amount. For working people, if we lock in an escalator at this low rate, we're locking in that $3 loss, and we hardly think that's fair.
Wurzer: Both of you have been around the Capitol for a very long time. We know that there's going to be a lot of different bills in the hopper here, not only Senate File 3 but others that are coming down the pike. Do you feel it's a foregone conclusion that they're going to raise the minimum wage here in Minnesota this session?
Hickey: I think it probably is with the change of power here. I think that our concern is going to pare this bill back. Take the escalator out. The escalator is really a bad precedent.
Wurzer: But what are you willing to accept in terms of some kind of floor? Some kind of an increase?
Hickey: We're going to have to see. The fact that we're keeping the lower wage at $5.25 is really appreciated, but at the same time the escalator is concerning.
Wurzer: Kris?
Jacobs: Like I said, we're very disappointed. If Minnesota employers want people to value those jobs, those jobs need to be more valuable.
Wurzer: Mike, when you look at Minnesota, where do we stack up when it comes to other states in the Midwest when it comes to minimum wage?
Hickey: Our small business wage is pretty low. I think that's been a great benefit to the small employers who meet that criteria of $625,000 and can take advantage of that. That's helped them. But our other wage, most employers are paying $7.25, under Senate File 3 they're going to $7.50 and the other bills put it way higher. I mean, we feel we should stay in sync with the federal because they revisit this issue every once in a while, too.
Jacobs: Since the minimum wage became a political football, here we are. And guess who gets hurt? Minimum-wage workers. The bargaining power of the individual worker is very, very low. Employers hold the cards. Employers need to do the right thing.
Wurzer: Mike Hickey?
Hickey: Well, Minnesota is paying the federal wage. Very few people qualify for the small business lower wage. So we're paying the federal wage. How many states are above the federal wage?
Jacobs: 19.
Hickey: OK. Well, the vast majority are not. And that's where we are. We're paying the federal wage.
Jacobs: Still low.
Wurzer: I can see this is going to be obviously a debate at the Capitol, not only here but at the Capitol as well.

One day after reports surfaced that a slain Transportation Security Administration officer received help more than 30 minutes after being shot at Los Angeles International Airport this month, federal and local agencies who responded to the incident issued a statement asking for patience while investigations unfold.
The joint statement, released by the Los Angeles World Airports and Federal Bureau of Investigation, among others Saturday, states, "Command officers and airport administrators were faced with a wide range of important objectives, including conducting a complete search to rule out additional gunmen or explosives, identifying all injured victims, and coordinating the needs of the thousands of arriving and departing travelers that were impacted by the incident.
"In the aftermath of an incident of such significance, we are rightfully evaluating where improvements can be made should we ever be faced with such an incident in the future," the statement continues.
U.S. & World
The release characterized some statements surrounding the shooting as untrue, while others "merit serious consideration" by the agencies.
The joint release comes just one day after reports surfaced that there was a more than 30 minute delay of help for TSA Officer Gerardo Hernandez who was fatally shot Nov. 1.
Officials said a federal criminal investigation, an officer-involved shooting investigation and an After Action Workgroup, which analyzes all aspects of the emergency response, are currently underway.
The agencies are awaiting the findings of the After Action Workgroup, which will provide the "best perspective from which to draw conclusions, make recommendations, or take other corrective action," according to the statement.
The joint release was also issued by the Los Angeles Fire Department, Los Angeles Police Department and the Transportation Security Administration.

Robertas Narkus "Chance N° 5"
Robertas Narkus "Chance N° 5"
Oksasenkatu 11, Helsinki
May 2–4, 2012
Lithuanian artist Robertas Narkus opens an exhibition, which takes the form of a shoe store, titled "Chance N° 5", at the gallery Oksasenkatu 11 in Helsinki. Performance and artist talk on May 4, 6 p.m.
Robertas Narkus describes his recent practice as management of chance in the economy of circumstances. The project evolves according to the principle of the domino effect, which involves chance encounters, collaborations and unpredictable (or rather predetermined?) activities and results. This time the pirouette of coincidences brings the artist and his story to Helsinki. The exhibition is open to visitors only a few days, from May 2 with a special closing evening on Friday, May 4, which will feature an artist talk and a special sale performance. "What does it take to find the right toe?"
"Chance N° 5" is a part in a chain of events called "12 and a Half Chances".
Robertas Narkus (1983) graduated from Vilnius Academy of arts Media and photography department, works are exhibited in group exhibitions at Vilnius CAC, Tallinn Kunsthalle and Moscow Museum of Modern art.
Oksasenkatu 11 is an artist-run gallery and an artist collective located in the district of Töölö, in central Helsinki. The collective consists of nine artists with different practices, but with a shared interest in working outside the established and institutionalized art world. Today there is a growing demand among artists for regaining a certain sovereignty, and Oksasenkatu is a humble attempt in this direction.

On Monday, January 21, Cameron University will coordinate approximately 400 volunteers for a variety of community service projects as part of the university's ongoing commitment to the national Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service. In addition to the service projects, Cameron's participation in the Day of Service has been expanded to include a supply drive for local United Way agencies. Member agencies have provided wish lists of supplies they need for the upcoming year. Cameron volunteers will man drop-off stations from 8 a.m. – 3 p.m. at three Country Mart locations, Sam's Club, Staples and Wal-Mart on Quanah Parker Trailwayso that members of the community can easily provide the requested items.
"Cameron's participation in the MLK Day of Service has been incredibly rewarding since we began in 2008," says Jennifer Holland, Vice President for Student Services. "Our goal with the supply drive is to expand the reach of our participation by providing an opportunity for additional members of the community to have a positive impact on the non-profit agencies who serve so many constituencies here in Lawton."

Action Plan for implementation of the European Strategy for the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases 2012−2016
2012, iii + 24 pages
No less than 86% of deaths and 77% of the disease burden in the WHO European Region are caused by noncommunicable diseases. Investing in prevention and better control of this broad group of disorders will reduce premature death and preventable morbidity and disability, improve the quality of life and well-being of people and societies, and help reduce the growing health inequalities they cause.
With attention to noncommunicable diseases reaching unprecedented levels worldwide, this action plan was adopted in September 2011. It identifies priority action areas and interventions for countries to focus on over the next five years (2012–2016), as they implement the European Strategy for the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases.

NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. (AP) - A Pennsylvania girl whose need for new lungs sparked a national debate on how transplant recipients are prioritized returned home to her family Tuesday after six months in the hospital.
Sarah Murnaghan, who turned 11 this month, left The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and was carried into her family's Newtown Square home, which was festooned with balloons and signs that welcomed her home and thanked the donors whose lungs she received after her parents sued to change national transplant policy.
'Sarah's looking forward to being a normal little kid,' said her mother, Janet, who said her daughter once enjoyed soccer and skating. 'We're looking forward to a nice long life: going to college, getting married and everything we dream about for our other kids.'
Sarah received two sets of lungs this summer as she struggled with the effects of end-stage cystic fibrosis. She still has the disease, but it will not infiltrate her new lungs, which her parents said were working well.
Asked how she was feeling Tuesday, Sarah quietly answered 'so-so,' as she briefly joined her parents and three younger siblings on her front step. Her back was hurting because of stress fractures caused by cystic fibrosis, her mother said.
Her release capped days of upbeat progress reports from the family on Facebook.
On Sunday, Murnaghan said her daughter was taken off oxygen, although she still gets support from a machine that helps her to breathe, and had started to walk with the aid of a walker, even venturing outside.
Sarah's recovery is now focused on building her muscle strength so she no longer has to use a breathing tube that caused a bout of pneumonia. She was sedated for most of the month of June, when she was in critical need of a transplant.
'We didn't know if she would live, and the system was up against us,' Janet Murnaghan said outside her home Tuesday, where she and her husband Fran spoke to reporters.
They went to federal court to challenge national transplant rules that put children like Sarah at the end of the waiting list for adult lungs. Yet Sarah did not qualify for the adolescent list, which is for children 12 and up.
A federal judge intervened, forcing the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network - the private nonprofit group that manages U.S. organ allocation - to add Sarah to the adult list.
'More people live when you put the sickest patient first,' Janet Murnaghan said Tuesday.
Sarah's first set of adult lungs failed after a June 12 transplant. A second set was transplanted three days later.
The case raised questions among some health specialists and medical ethicists about how organ donation rules are developed and under what circumstances they might be disregarded.
UNOS spokeswoman Anne Paschke said Tuesday that the temporary option for other children to apply for adult lungs will be in effect until the end of June 2014. She said a committee is currently studying whether to make that change permanent, or make other changes to adolescent lung transplant rules.
So far, six children, including Sarah, have applied for adult lung transplants as a result of the temporary rule, Paschke said. Two of the others ultimately received adolescent donor lungs and three are still waiting for transplants.
Javier Acosta, a second child whose family also sued to get access to adult lungs, is still waiting for a transplant, family lawyer Melissa Hatch said Tuesday.
The typical life expectancy for cystic fibrosis patients is 37 years and continues to rise as new medical advances are developed. Lung transplants do not cure the condition but can extend the patient's life.
The Murnaghans vowed to continue to advocate for permanent changes to the transplant rules. Sarah, meanwhile, will be starting fifth-grade through at-home instruction, while continuing with physical therapy and other rehabilitation.
'Always advocate for your children. Always,' said Fran Murnaghan, Sarah's father.

Wine In A Handbag. French Wines In Chic Packaging. What A Great Idea.
Wine in a box is so tacky, despite the improvement in many of the designs. A fresh way to serve up wine in a box are these smart "Bag-In-A-Bag" white, red and rosé wines from Vernissage of Sweden. French wines packaged in stylish looking handbags - a fabulous idea for birthday parties, Bridal Showers, Fashion Shows, concerts, picnics, conferences and more.
Packaging French wines into a case that looks like a chic handbag, complete with tap or spout was such a clever design, it won the 2010 "Most Innovative" in the Carton Awards 2010 and a prestigious gold award in the Pentawards, the world´s largest packaging design competition.
The White: 2011 Chardonnay Viogner from France
Vernissage has a young, fresh and aromatic bouquet with hints of fruits such as apple, citrus, pineapple and vanilla. The flavour is dry, flowery and very fruity with the essence of pear, citrus, tropical fruits and vanilla.
Vernissage makes an excellent aperitif, but goes well with flavourful fish and shellfish dishes, especially with Asian influences of lime and ginger.
The Red: 2010 Syrah Cabernet Sauvigon from France
Vernissage Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon is a dark red wine. Inviting fruity scent with notes of spices, tones of ripe berries, black current, blackberries and herbs as well as chocolate and barrels. Goes well with red and white meat, pasta, poultry and aged cheese.
The Rosé: 2011 Syrah Rosé from France
The French Vernissage Syrah Rosé is a lively and fresh rosé wine from the region Pays d'Oc in southern France. With a hint of raspberries and blackberries in the flavor, it has a herblike finish. The generously fruity aroma has notes of wild red berries. Vernissage Syrah Rosé is perfect as an aperitif, but is also suitable for fish, seafood or light chicken salad.
The Bag-in-Bag wine Vernissage has taken both wine-lovers and the press by storm, in Sweden as well as internationally. The successful project was created by Takis Soldatos, Oenoforos, in cooperation with Sofia Blomberg Art Direction & Design. The result is elegant design combined with high quality wines from the French wine region Pays d'Oc.
The thought behind Vernissage is a playful approach to the curious and modern wine consumer. At the same time, a woman´s touch has propelled the Bag-in-Bag wine from the practical to the elegant.

Top » Catalog » BODY CARE » NOURISHMENT » SKIN-CAP Spray 200ml
Dear customers, unfortunately, this product could not be sent abroad from Latvia. Sorry for that.
SKIN-CAP Spray is a new line of dermatological products, based on a new formulation of Zinc Pyrithione, which has a high antibacterial and anti-fungal action against a series of pathogenic microorganisms. It is indicated as a treatment for psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis and typical eczema, painful lichen, skin redness, dandruff, itching and irritation of the skin. It relieves itching and eliminates the scales on the skin or scalp improving the general appearance.
This spray has a high moisturizing power and is recommended in cases of very dry and chapped skin. In the recommended concentrations, SKIN-CAP does not have side effects on the healthy cells of the skin. The excellent results are due to the fact that the product contains ACTIVATED ZINC PYRITHIONE, besides other helping ingredients as specified below: Zinc pyrithione. It acts as an antifungal and antibacterial agent. Sodic lauryl sulfate. It acts as an emulsifier and moistening agent. Isopropyl myristate. It acts as an emollient. Alcohol. It acts as an disinfectant. Propel 45. It acts as the aerosol gas.
SKIN-CAP Spray is very effective in a minimum of 80 % of the treated cases. In some areas such as the scalp, this rate rises to virtually 100 %. The only zones where results are poor are the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet. See the Clinical Studies and Official Analyses proving the efficiency of SKIN-CAP for treating psoriasis, vitiligio, seborrhea, dandruff and eczema. Why is Skin Cap so effective? The wide spectrum of positive effects of Skin Cap products is based on the specific properties of a new formulation of Zinc Pyrithione, which exerts a high antibacterial and anti-fungal action against a series of pathenogenic microorganisms (streptococcus and staphylococcus.) Special Benefits: It is colorless, odorless, and does not leave stains. Improve your condition in only a few days. Special Ingredient: Zinc Pyrithione Zinc Pyrithione acts as an anti-fungus and anti-bacterial agent. Due to the preparation of this ingredient along with other helpful substances, Skin-Cap is highly affective for all of the skin conditions listed above. Other ingredients that work along with Zinc Pyrithione that make it highly affective are: Sodia Lauryl sulfate acts as an eulsifier and humidifying agent Isopropyl myristrate acts as an emollient Alcohol acts as a disinfectant Propel 45 acts as the aerosol gas

Shayna Price
earned her second career CWPA Defensive Player of the Week award
Feb. 28 (photo courtesy Gil Talbot).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Shayna Price of the Harvard women's water polo team was named the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Southern Division Defensive Player of the Week Feb. 28 after an impressive weekend at the MAAC/East Challenge in Princeton, N.J. Price registered 18 steals and added four goals and five assists to help the Crimson to a 3-0 record.
The sophomore led Harvard on the defensive end of the pool, accumulating six steals in each contest. The six steals in a game is Price's season high and second most of any Harvard player this season.
The Honolulu, Hawaii native also provided the squad with a dramatic goal Feb. 26, as she scored in sudden death overtime to propel the Crimson past Iona, 15-14. Harvard, which had trailed 6-0 to start the contest, came back behind stellar defensive play, including the six steals from Price, and timely scores. The Crimson was down two scores in the second overtime, before Price scored to cut Iona's lead in half and Harvard added another tally to set-up sudden death overtime.
The win over Iona completed a three-game sweep of the MAAC/East
Challenge for Harvard as the Crimson downed Wagner, 16-13, and
Villanova, 15-1, Feb. 25.
Price has one previous CWPA award, the Southern Division Defensive Player of the Week honor April 4 of last season.
The Crimson is back in the pool this weekend, as it hosts the Harvard Invitational March 2-4. The Crimson starts the tournament against San Jose State March 2 at 7 p.m. The opener is slated as the women's water polo Student Rewards game and the first 50 students in attendance will receive a free Crimson t-shirt.

Circling roots can eventually girdle the trunk or other roots of this Chinese elm (Ulmus parvifolia). Small roots like these can be safely removed.
Plants are often subjected to stresses in the environment that are not results of insects or diseases. These stresses are referred to as "abiotic" diseases. These abiotic disorders result in the plant being less vigorous and in many cases dying. The majority of these stress situations are the result of human activities.
Abiotic problems often involve multiple factors. A plant's response to these factors can be subtle in nature and accumulate over time making them difficult to diagnose. It can be even harder explaining to a homeowner how they harmed their plant by something they did years ago.
Typical symptoms of abiotic problems include very slow growth, poor foliage color, leaf scorching, the presence of lichen, limb dieback, or plant death. Following is a discussion of some of the more common abiotic problems that occur in the landscape
This live oak (Quercus virginiana) died because it was planted too deep.
Proper Tree Planting
• Determine where the root flare is located.
Planting Too Deep
One of the most common and serious problems associated with tree planting is planting too deep. Many trees and shrubs are set too deep at the time of planting, or they settle over time. A planting depth of only 1 inch too deep can cause eventual problems. It is not uncommon to see trees planted as much as 3 or more inches too deep. If a tree looks like a telephone pole going into the ground, then it is planted too deep.
Various symptoms point to excessively deep planting. New growth may develop each spring, but dieback of branch tips occurs during the stress of summer. Advanced symptoms of depth-related stress are cankers and deep cracking of the bark.
Making sure the root flare of a tree is at or slightly above grade when a tree is planted easily prevents this problem. (See tree planting sidebar)
This tree suffered damage when a string-trimmer was used to cut basal watersprouts.
Mechanical Damage
Mechanical damage leaves tree and shrubs vulnerable to disease organisms. Damage comes from vehicles, string trimmers, lawn mowers, construction equipment, garden tools, animals, or other human activities. String-trimmer injury is particularly harmful for trees and shrubs with thin bark. Repeatedly bumping into the same area of a trunk without cutting the bark can damage or kill the growing point under the bark and result in reduced growth. Creating a machine-free zone around trees and shrubs with mulch will greatly reduce mechanical injury.
Improper Mulching
Mulch is used around plants to help conserve soil moisture, moderate soil temperature, reduce weeds, and keep equipment away from plant trunks. The recommended depth is 2-3 inches for most organic mulches. Many gardeners, believing more is better create mulch "volcanoes." When mulch is piled up against the trunks of trees and shrubs, the bark stays too wet and decay can occur and the entire plant may die. Keep mulch several inches away from the trunk to prevent this scenario.
Mulch "volcanoes" create an ideal environment for disease organisms. Keep mulch 2-3 inches away from the trunk.
Girdling Roots
A girdling root is a root that circles around the trunk or other roots at or below the soil line, gradually cutting off the flow of nutrients. Some trees, such as maples, elms, and birches, are particularly prone to their formation. Trees and shrubs that are container grown and have become pot-bound frequently develop girdling roots. It is important to spread or cut circling roots at planting time to prevent future problems.
Mechanical Root Damage
Most of the feeder roots of trees or shrubs are within the upper 6 inches of the soil. Any digging, trenching or roto-tilling within the root area of established trees or shrubs will cause harm. Damage usually occurs when establishing a new flowerbed, planting shrubs under trees, installing a sprinkler system, or paving a driveway or patio area. The degree of damage depends on the depth of the digging and the amount of ground covered. Root damage may haunt the plant months or even years later, depending on the environmental stresses that occur after the damage.
This huge live oak is showing dieback of branches due construction damage that cut feeder roots.
Construction Damage
Construction damage impacts trees and shrubs in numerous ways. There is severe root loss or injury, compacted soils, loss of leaf area, and grade changes. The impact on trees can be short term, but it usually sets the tree up for a gradual decline or death that takes several years. Anytime the soil grade is lowered or raised even a few inches, existing shrubs and trees become predisposed to various stresses. Keep construction equipment and building materials outside the drip line of trees.
Humans unknowingly inflict these abiotic stresses on trees and shrubs in the landscape. It is amazing how forgiving plants can be, considering all the pressures we humans put on them. Only further education about landscape maintenance will reduce these human-caused disorders.

Male circumcision is a
surgery to remove the foreskin, a fold of skin that covers and protects the
rounded tip of the penis. The foreskin provides sensation and lubrication for
the penis. After the foreskin is removed, it can't be put back on again. See a picture of the
penis before and after circumcision.
If circumcision is done, it's usually done soon
after birth. In the United States, about 60
out of 100 boys are circumcised, and about 40 out of 100 are not.1 Worldwide, the rate of circumcision is much lower. Circumcision has both risks and benefits. The decision about whether to have a baby circumcised is often based on the personal preference of the parents.
Some older boys and men need circumcision to treat problems with the foreskin of the penis (such as
phimosis or
paraphimosis) or for swelling of the tip of the penis
This topic focuses on the circumcision of newborns.
It's up to you whether you have your baby circumcised or keep your son's penis natural. The American Academy of Pediatrics says the health benefits of circumcision outweigh the risks of the surgery. They also say that parents should be the ones to decide what is in the best interest of their child.2 When you make this
decision, it may help you to think about your personal and cultural
preferences. For example, you may want to consider your religious and family
traditions while you weigh the pros and cons of the surgery.
Circumcision is not just done in newborns. Keep in mind that your son can decide on his own later in life if he wants a circumcised penis.
Problems from circumcision are not common. If they occur, they are
usually minor. The most common circumcision problems are:
More serious problems are rare. They include damage to the
opening of the urethra, heavy bleeding that requires stitches, severe
infection, and scarring.
Circumcisions usually are done by a
family medicine doctor,
surgeon, or
urologist. Circumcisions that are performed for
religious reasons are sometimes done by others trained in the procedure. For your baby's safety, it is best that the person doing the surgery is well trained, uses sterile techniques, and knows how to manage your baby's pain during and after the surgery.

Health Tools help you make wise health decisions or take action to improve your health.
Circumcision is usually done by a doctor at a clinic,
in the hospital, or at an outpatient surgery center. During the
After the
circumcision, the groin, penis, and scrotum may appear
reddish brown because of the liquid used to clean the skin before surgery. The
shaft of the penis where the skin was removed will look raw and slightly
Your baby will stay in the hospital or clinic for 2 to 4 hours
after the procedure. His penis will be checked for bleeding, and the
circumcision area may be covered with petroleum jelly and gauze. If gauze is
used, it stays on for about 24 hours. Before you take it off, soak it in warm
water and gently loosen it.
You will likely take your baby home
the same day he is circumcised. Some swelling around the penis is normal in the
first few days after the surgery. Some slight bleeding may occur. If this
happens, apply direct but gentle pressure to the area with a clean cloth or
bandage for about 5 to 10 minutes.
After surgery, your baby will
feel some pain. He may be fussy and have trouble sleeping.
A thin
yellow film will form over the circumcision site after surgery. This is part of
the normal healing process and should go away in a few days. Although the penis
is beginning to heal, it may look worse a few days after circumcision. The
penis should look like it's getting better about a week after surgery.
Here are some things you can do
to help your baby feel more comfortable:
Ask your doctor about giving your baby
acetaminophen (such as Tylenol) for pain. Call your
doctor anytime your baby seems to be in a lot of pain.
Your son's penis will be
checked during routine
well-baby visits. But it is important to call your
doctor if your baby has problems after
Call your doctor right away if after circumcision:
If a
Plastibell device was used for the circumcision, call
your doctor if the ring has not fallen off after 10 to 12 days.
Doctors who usually perform
circumcisions on infants include:
A urologist or surgeon normally will do circumcisions on
older infants, children, and adults.
Some parents may make the decision about circumcision based on
religious and family traditions, personal preferences, or the social norms
of their communities. Often these cultural reasons affect the decision more than the medical risks and benefits of circumcision.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) says the health benefits of circumcision outweigh the risks of the surgery. But it's up to you whether you have your baby circumcised.2
Health benefits of circumcision include being less likely to get urinary tract infections (UTIs) or sexually transmitted infections (STIs). For example, in a
baby's first year of life,
UTIs happen less often in
circumcised boys than in boys who are not circumcised. But UTIs are not common.
There may be reasons later in life when your son may need a
circumcision. A boy or man may have problems retracting the foreskin or may
have swelling of the foreskin that requires circumcision.
All surgical procedures have risks. Problems
circumcision are not common. Minor problems are
short-term and may include:
Long-term problems can include:
Major problems are very rare but can include:
Your values
As a parent, you will decide whether you want to keep
your son's penis natural or want him to be
circumcised. This decision often is a personal one based on your own values and religious or cultural beliefs.
It's a
good idea to think about your decision before your baby is born. If you wait,
the excitement and fatigue of the delivery can affect your ability to carefully
consider the benefits and risks of each choice.
Your son's values
Circumcision is not just done in newborns. Keep in mind that your son can
decide on his own later in life if he wants a circumcised penis.
Circumcision and STIs
Some studies have shown that circumcised men are a little
less likely than men who have not been circumcised to get a
sexually transmitted infection (STI), including
Any man, especially if he has
high-risk sex, can get STIs or HIV. The best way to
prevent STIs is to teach people about risk factors and the importance of
avoiding high-risk sex.
Other concerns
Some people have concerns that circumcision can decrease sensation in the
penis. Some people also wonder if circumcision disrupts the bonding that occurs
between mother and son during breast-feeding. But there is not a lot of
research about these concerns.
Keeping your son's penis clean may
help prevent infection and other problems. It's important to keep your son's
penis clean whether he has been circumcised or not. When
cleaning a natural (uncircumcised) penis, be careful
not to force the foreskin to retract.
If you choose circumcision
If you decide that you would like to
have your baby circumcised, talk with your doctor. Discuss any concerns you may
have about pain and your preferences for
anesthesia. Ask your doctor about giving your baby
acetaminophen (such as Tylenol) for pain relief after
When is circumcision not done?

GloboTec® comfort sports
The foot orthosis for sport!
The foot orthosis has been specially designed for active people who want to combine movement and comfort. The comfort sports has the tried-and-tested integrated PowerWave Technology in its cushion layer. Thanks to this technology, the foot orthosis actively supports the natural heel-to-toe movement of the foot. Moderate arch supports allow you to quickly become accustomed to the foot orthosis. Thus, pressure is relieved on the througout entire body. This has a double advantage - it can prevent risk of injury while simultaneously improving performance.
- PowerWave Technology in the cushion layer allows for a natural gait pattern
- for the sport and leisure
- preventative effect
The PowerWave Technology in the cushion layer of the foot orthosis supports the natural heel-to-toe movement of the foot. The soft materials cushion the step, while the rigid materials guide and support the foot where this is needed. Pressure is relieved, both on the feet and on the entire musculoskeletal and locomotor system.
Designs and uses
The foot orthosis optimally meets the requirements of an active lifestyle. The effect of the orthopedic foot orthosis is particularly noticeable with fast, powerful movements. The comfort sports matches the fit of most leisure shoes. It can be fitted in these shoes quickly and easily, provided that they have a removable sole with a thickness of approx. 3 mm and a corresponding width.
Only available from medical retailers
In order to ensure that you receive the best possible care, the comfort sports is only available from a medical retailer – an orthotist. The orthotist will take all the necessary measurements of the foot and diagnose the status of the foot using digital measurement technology/foam imprint/ink imprint/physical examination. Following this process, the foot orthosis can then be fitted into the relevant footwear. Thanks to a foot orthosis of this kind, a standard shoe can be made into a customized shoe.
- Synthetic orthosis with a slightly cup-shaped heel and low construction height
- Cushion layer made of EVA with PowerWave® Technology
Construction of the foot orthosis
1) Microfiber top cover:
This top cover provides a comfortable contact layer with the foot. The presence of silver ions helps to prevent both bacteria and odors.
2) Cushion layer with PowerWave® Technology (25°/35°/45° Shore A):
This layer, made of EVA, is defined in movement-specific guidance, support and cushioning zones, which are arranged (vertically) adjacent to one another. The functional zones work biodynamically – the foot is optimally guided in each step.
3) Synthetic core:
The moderate arch supports of the synthetic core and the slightly cup-shaped heel support the foot arches and improve hindfoot stability.
4) Bottom coating:
The special grip film ensures a non-slip contact surface between the foot orthosis and the shoe.
- Suitable for sport and leisure enthusiasts, who are wearing an orthopedic foot orthosis for the first time and who wish to prevent the risk of injury.
- High-quality and durable materials mean that the foot orthosis remains serviceable even after prolonged use – but this does fundamentally depend on the load.
- We recommend that the functional properties should be checked regularly (after a maximum of 6 months)
- Wipe the surfaces using a mild cleanser and a sponge (except leather top covers)
- Not machine-washable
- Do not expose to direct heat (heater, direct sunlight)
Modification instructions - Specially for medical retailers
- The outline of the foot orthosis can be ground in a taper shape
- Easy to grind (grinding belt and pumice stone, grain 80-100)
- Partial thermoplastic molding possible (hot air blower 100°C-130°C (212-266°F), partially for approx. 20 sec.)
Tips for healthy feet
You can find information here about how to keep your feet in top condition!
When selecting your foot orthosis, think about the area of your life in which you wish to use it. The type of foot orthosis depends on the footwear worn. The shoe and the foot orthosis must fit together!
PowerWave® technology
The functional zones in detail
Cushioning – the soft component
Sensitive areas of the feet are cushioned –to protect them
Support – the medium-firm component
The arch of the foot is supported and relieved –for an upright posture
Guidance – the firm component
The heel is guided as the movement starts –thus actively initiating your steps
An effect that makes a difference
The vertical configuration allows the material propertiesdescribed above to act on specific predefined areas.This enables the different functional zones to delivertheir biomechanical effect in precisely the right area.
An intelligent connection
The foot is highly functional. 28 bones and 33 joints worktogether to distribute weight in the best possible way – sothere is no room for annoying edges! The wave-shaped serrationsbetween the materials ensure that crossover pointsare edge-free – your foot doesn`t feel irritated!
Main indications
- Flat foot/splayfoot
- Pes valgus
Concomitant indications1
- Mild and moderate severity of hollow foot
- Post-traumatic foot deformities
- Achilles tendon complaints
- Knee joint/back pain
1 Depending on the severity of the foot, knee or back deformity.
- Moderate support for flattened foot arches or for foot arches subjected to heavy loads, relief of pressure on the joints and correction of mild misalignments of the locomotor system
- Frequently also alleviates knee and back pain
- Biodynamic gait pattern

Being Prepared in Glendora
Being Prepared in Glendora
The goal of this information is to encourage you to prepare for a natural or major disaster. Although most of us don't want to think about it, we live in an area where earthquakes, wild fires, and floods are a reality. In the event of a major disaster the 210/57 freeways which pass through Glendora may be impassible either structurally or due to evacuation closures. Everyone must know how to provide for their own needs.
In addition to the information below, the Red Cross provides a printable checklist to help you gather important information in the event of an emergency. Click to download the PDF checklist.
Family Planning at Home:
• Create a family plan to include your pets.
• Practice drills are important.
• Know all the ways to get out of your house (work) in an emergency
• Learn how to shut off the gas, water, and electricity
• Secure your water heater
• Maintain emergency food, water, first aid, tools, medicine and clothing
• Learn basic first aid and CPR
• Choose an out-of-state friend or relative whom family members can call in the event of earthquake
Planning at Work:
The following items can fit in a daypack. It should be portable enough that you can easily carry it with you. Keep in mind; you could be stranded for up to 72 hours.
• Dry food such as trail mix, beef jerky, etc.
• Water
• Walking shoes or comfortable boots
• First aid kit
• Prescription medications
