Wave of the future
Freedom of the Seas, the largest cruise ship in the world, has it all: a surf simulator, a boxing gym, an ice skating rink and a lot of people. What's next for the industry?
By JANET K. KEELER
Published June 4, 2006
ABOARD THE FREEDOM OF THE SEAS -- If you're thinking of learning to hang 10 onboard this monster of the seas, bring plenty of patience but leave your ego at home.
The world's largest cruise ship sets sail with its first paying guests today, and if a preview sailing over Memorial Day weekend is any indication, the FlowRider will be jam-packed. The 32-foot-wide by 40-foot-long surf simulator produces a pretty wicked wave by pumping 34,000 gallons of water per minute up a thankfully padded incline. The brave can attempt to ride it on a thin surfboard or knee board. Let's just say, Wipe Out isn't screaming from the sound system for nothing.
Stud after stud, and an occasional wahine wanna-be, attacked the surf simulator with confidence, the first time anyway. The most successful among them was upright for all of 10 seconds. Those who did the worst against the rush of water, which was just about everyone, lost part of their bathing suits and were sent crashing up the cushioned incline in rather unfortunate positions.
All that after a 20-minute wait. And once you were down, you had to go to the end of the line.
Because Royal Caribbean's Freedom of the Seas, which sails the western Caribbean from its home port of Miami, can carry 4,200 cruisers, lines are likely to be long for many activities. The behemoth boasts 15 decks of features to entertain passengers who can box in a 20- by 20-foot ring, watch an ice show, play miniature golf or basketball, climb a rock wall or cavort in the H2O Zone, a colorful kiddie water park that the adults just can't stay away from. Don't worry, though, there is an adult pool, too.
An indoor shopping promenade has the required duty-free perfume and alcohol outlets with the added bonus of a Ben & Jerry's ice cream parlor plus a wine bar that hosts tastings. I recommend the iced lattes at Cafe Promenade while perusing something to read at the Book Nook. Daily parades march down the 445-foot promenade complete with circus performers, dancers, musicians and, of course, blasts of confetti.
The Royal Promenade is as entertaining as it is strange. Spend any time there and you'll wonder why only a handful of pop songs play on a continuous loop or if you're on a ship at all. It feels a bit like a busy airport. For respite, go to your stateroom and gaze at the sea, providing you've paid for an ocean view.
In an interesting design move, 168 staterooms overlook the promenade through bay windows. The view from the room over Ben & Jerry's is the back ends of two black-and-white cows and is worth free ice cream for the entire cruise.
Up on Deck 12, near the top of the ship, there's a video arcade and a teen club called the Living Room. On Decks 3 and 4 is a 1,350-seat theater for live shows (Blood, Sweat and Tears performed on the preview). The karaoke club is on 3, just below the casino, where more than 300 slot machines buzz and bing through the night, teasing you with the promises of riches. There are numerous restaurants and bars, including Latin-themed Bolero's, which serves mojitos and sizzling style and is as beautiful with its chrome, glass and wood appointments as any four-star hotel on land. All around the ship, the food is delicious and plentiful (go for the piles of stone crab claws in the buffet) and can be worked off in the ShipShape Fitness Center or the goth-themed Crypt disco.
The Freedom Day Spa offers various services for women, men and teens, including teeth whitening ($199).
Freedom of the Seas is one big, beautiful ship and its appeal is already being felt by Royal Caribbean. Most of the better cabins, those with ocean views and balconies, are booked for the next six months. Travel agents aboard the preview sailing, which went to Royal Caribbean's private island in the Bahamas, reported strong bookings for next year, too. Prices run about $850 per person for inside cabins for weeklong cruises to $2,400 for deluxe suites.
The $800-million ship is being launched at a time when the cruise industry could use a little good news. Several deaths, including a honeymooning groom who went missing from a Royal Caribbean Mediterranean cruise last summer and 12 Celebrity Cruises passengers killed in a March bus accident in Chile, along with several incidences of widespread illnesses onboard ships, have dampened bookings and caused some lines to slash prices. Two punishing hurricanes seasons haven't helped either.
During a talk with the media, Royal Caribbean president Adam Goldstein said that despite some bad press for the industry overall, he has been "delighted with the response of the world to our new ship. It's a terrific time for our brand."
Indeed, Freedom has received tremendous exposure, including being the focus of an entire broadcast of the Today show on May 12, coincidentally the day that the remake of ThePoseidon Adventure opened. Katie Couric and Matt Lauer presided over the christening of the ship in New York harbor before it sailed to Florida. On the flat-panel TVs in each stateroom, the show is broadcast continuously and offers guests a behind-the-scenes look at the ship that they would not normally have (or would have cost Royal Caribbean big bucks to produce themselves).
Freedom is the first of Royal Caribbean's fleet to include upgraded bedding. Thanks to the 2-inch-thick microfiber pillow top, 220-thread count cotton bedding and calm seas, I hadn't slept so luxuriously since a stay at the Ritz-Carlton in San Francisco last fall. My stateroom, with oceanview balcony, was roomy (the flat-panel TV frees up space) and quite plush, though I can't report on the minibar contents since it wasn't yet stocked.
Like Royal Caribbean's Voyager class series of ships, Freedom has a three-deck high restaurant, though at each level the restaurant has a different name: Leonardo's, Galileo's and Issac's. The Windjammer Cafe is the traditional buffet while Chops Grille and Portofino offer a more intimate dining experience, something you may want when you tire of eating with a few thousand of your newest friends. There's a Johnny Rockets on Deck 11 near the kids' features.
Freedom of the Seas will spoil first-time cruisers, who are thankful that the day of the week is spelled out on the floor of the elevators. This is a vacation on which it's easy to lose track of land and time. Newbies will expect this level of service and amenities from every ship and cruise line. They aren't likely to get it.
Experienced cruisers will need to decide whether the luxury and sophistication are worth the extra passengers. That may be the only thing not to like about Freedom. Smart cruisers will bring walkie-talkies to keep in contact with their party; cell phones don't work.
Families on the preview sailing were having a blast, no matter the ages of the kids thanks to age-appropriate activities and child care services, but there was some grumbling from passengers, mostly over 50, about the long haul from forward to aft, nearly four football fields. There were no complaints, though, about soothing aching muscles in the cantilevered whirlpools, suspended 112 feet above the ocean. Adults only, please.
The whirlpools may also become a popular place for apres-surfers to nurse physical and mental bruises. Like I said, check your ego at the port.

If you go: Freedom of the Seas sails seven-night western Caribbean itineraries from the Port of Miami stopping in Cozumel, Mexico; George Town, Grand Cayman; Montego Bay, Jamaica; and Royal Caribbean's private island, Labadee, Haiti. A sister ship, Liberty of the Seas, will be introduced next summer and a third ship in the megaclass will launch in 2008.Freedom has 1,815 staterooms including inside cabins with no windows and family suites with balconies.
Prices for adults range from about $850 to $2,400 per person and include many activities and food. Children's rates are discounted.To get more information or to book a cruise, call toll-free 1-866-562-7625 or 1-800-327-6700, or go to www.freedomoftheseas.com.

Comments about Audio-Technica BP893c MicroEarset Headset Condenser Mic for Wireless Systems:
I added this as an option to our ATW-3131 Wireless Lavaliere Systems (we have 3). I am an A/V Engineer for a movie company in California and we use these for company, meetings, sales presentations, in-house training seminars, etc. I really like the benefits that a small omnidirectional condenser worn over the ear can give someone making a presentation. It is always in the right place! I just used this mic on our company's President for his recent company wide meeting and everyone was complementing me on how well he sounded. It produces speech very naturally and he appreciated just how small and almost invisible it is.
A real winner in my opinion and priced hundreds less than some of the alternatives in this mic style. I appreciated the hard plastic storage case as well.
Our product catalog varies by country due to manufacturer restrictions. If you change the Ship-To country, some or all of the items in your cart may not ship to the new destination.

Dear Secretary Clinton,
I've been proudly sharing the details of your trip to Africa and your commitment to empowering women with everyone I know. It is so exciting that you are using the language of empowering women and elevating it to the highest governmental priority rather than leaving it a soft or subsidiary issue. You're right, you need to keep repeating the message, and prioritizing it, until it sinks in. I also read a great article in the NYTimes written by NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF and SHERYL WuDUNN called The Women's Crusade -- it is thorough, illuminating, and gives some suggested guidelines for the areas of future women-targeted aid campaigns.

Calculating the Lime Recommendation
To determine the lime requirement for a field, follow these steps:
- Select the appropriate lime table from the list below based upon the target pH of the crop as listed in the recommendation section. Locate the value in the table where the Water pH row (shown along the left side of table) and the Buffer pH column (shown across the top of the table) intersect (see example).
- Determine whether a lime credit is necessary. Lime credits are used to account for any lime that was applied in the past 18 months which has not had a chance to react. The equation for calculating the lime credit and an example can be obtained by clicking here.
- Determine the the type of lime recommended (e.g., calcitic or dolimitic) by clicking here .
University of Delaware Lime Tables
These tables are designed to be used with the Adams-Evans buffer pH. If the lime requirement test was performed by laboratory using a different buffer method, contact the laboratory for the appropriate lime tables.
Target pH 5.2 -- Blueberries; non-scab resistant potatoes
Target pH 5.6 -- Acid loving plants; black high organic matter soils
Target pH 6.0 -- Most Delaware crops
Target pH 6.2 -- Many commercial vegetable crops
Target pH 6.5 -- High Calcium demand crops, golf course turf,
Target pH 6.8 -- Alfalfa

Entrepreneurs Network and Work Together at Meetups
If you're not familiar with meetups, they are groups organized online (usually around a specific topic or interest) that, as you can probably imagine, make plans to meet up in real life. There are meetups for single parents, small dog owners, euchre players, and all sorts of other niche interests. But what interests and inspires me most right now is The Rochester Web Startups group.
The group schedules meetups about once every month, usually on a Tuesday evening, and is attended by anywhere from 10 to 30 people all involved in some aspect of web-based startups. For their purposes, the term startup is pretty loosely defined and sometimes includes web developers at companies that have been around for over seven years (almost an elder statesman in internet years), a local music and multimedia producer, attorneys, etc. Last night we even had someone who owns a local landscaping company and was simply interested in our local entrepreneurial community. Really, all are welcome.
Right now the structure of the meetup is very informal and anybody is welcome to discuss any topic they want. The main purpose of the meetup is to get like minded people together sharing ideas and helping solve each other's problems. Young entrepreneurs benefit from the experiences shared by more established founders and more experienced founders benefit from younger, different points of view.
The meetups are also a great way to informally network and get connected. As people talk and interact, their passions, interests and skills become obvious to everybody. There ends up being a lot of collaboration as people in need of certain skills to make their ideas happen or overcome some obstacle they've encountered meet people in our community with those skills.
You can find out more about the Rochester Web Startups group on the Meetup website at: http://www.meetup.com/Rochester-Web-Startups-Group.
If web startups aren't really your thing, consider the Rochester Open Coffee Club. ROCC has a roundtable format and sometimes a featured speaker, who is usually a thought leader in our community. Previous speakers have included Steve Gersz from Underberg & Kessler who spoke about capital structure for startups in April and Richard Glaser, a private equity investor, who talked in May about what he loves about Rochester. Anyone interested in Rochester's entrepreneurial community is welcome to attend. Rochester Open Coffee Club meets in person the second Friday of every month at the Bagel Bin in Brighton. Check out the ROCC website for more information about the group and their next event at http://rochesteropencoffeeclub.com.

Lady Gaga glides from sublime to self-indulgent during her over-the-top "Born This Way Ball" tour stop at American Airlines Center
Ah, Lady Gaga. You gotta love her, no matter how many times she travels from sublime to self-indulgent. Take her "Born This Way Ball" stop Tuesday night at American Airlines Center. Her "Little Monsters" showed up in full force, in extravagant get-ups and in unbridled adoration. The "Monster Pit" area stemming from the foot of the stage was packed with fans hanging on every word, every move, and every costume that Gaga wore during more than two hours on the platform. The show was a spectacle, complete with an impressive castle equipped with moveable walls, 12 dancers, a full band and props galore.
The set list was concentrated on material from 2011′s Born This Way as it sprinkled in tunes from 2008′s The Fame and 2009′s The Fame Monster. Throughout the performance, with each number treated as fodder for a new dress and fresh gadgets, Gaga was in strong voice. She is a potent singer, a fact sometimes lost in the thick production of her records. And it's no surprise that the most moving moment was when she sat at the piano, four fans from the audience huddled around her, and she sang "Born This Way" stripped down. When Gaga takes her songs to their barest essential, she is at her most artistic.
As for the eye candy, let's just say she's learned well from her colorful predecessors. Cher and Madonna immediately come to mind. "Heavy Metal Lover" rocked with Gaga lying atop a motorcycle that circled its way through the ringed catwalk. "You and I" was also top-notch, a rock-fortified cut that found her running with an American flag draped over her shoulders. "Alejandro" and the red, meat-motif couch, not to mention "Americano" with her faux meat dress knock-off amid hanging sides of beef, were hearty fun. "Telephone" pumped and "Bloody Mary" unnerved as she delivered operatic vocals in an all-white gown while gliding like some kind of automaton bride.
Personally I could have done without the one-two slap of "Bad Romance" and "Judas," Gaga's most obnoxious songs. But what seemed most inexplicable was the disembodied Gaga head inside a diamond-shaped cage that floated above the stage. It was her "Mother G.O.A.T." alter ego. Periodically that head would go into tangents about government control, escaping persecution and freeing oneself from societal confines. It was all too cryptic, especially since Gaga spread her "be yourself, love yourself, love whom you choose and don't let the naysayers get you down" message pointedly and plentifully. That is her mantra. She delivers it well. We believe her. There's no need for further reinforcement.
Oh and then there were the flags emblazoned with "G.O.A.T." The letters stand for government owned alien territory, Gaga explained. She has landed here on Dallas, Texas to feed on the beauty, art, love of everyone in her presence. Great sentiment Gaga, but there's no need for the over-the-top, head-scratching gimmickry. It was enough that we saw her zipper birth from a giant, inflatable body. She would later also emerge from a white egg. Yes, she likes the rebirth metaphor.
Lady Gaga could definitely stand to play it much more linear than she does. Her messages are powerful enough that they don't need extraneous window dressing. But Gaga the performance artist has set the bar too high for Gaga the pop music star. They both come as part of the package. We must endure one to enjoy the other.

13406 E. Philadelphia St. Whittier, CA 90608
Whittier College students were busy this summer getting a head start in the professional world while interning at top companies, as well as health and non-profit organizations such as PricewaterhouseCoopers, Children's Hospital Los Angeles, and H.O.W. House, among others.
Here are just a few examples of Poets who went the extra mile making the connections now that will help them secure jobs in future:
Claire Peters '14
Major: Psychology
Internship: Los Angeles Centers for Drug and Alcohol Abuse/H.O.W. House in Whittier
"H.O.W. House provides incredible experience, and gives the intern a lot of valuable responsibilities, such as case managing the clients. And the staff is extremely committed to teaching interns everything they may need to know and then some. It is a very positive environment."
Xochitl Ramirez '16
Major: Business Administration and Spanish
Internship: Children's Hospital of Los Angeles
"My main responsibilities included attending morning rounds with different world renowned doctors where my mentor would interpret for Spanish speaking families and I would observe. Some afternoons, we had new diagnosis conferences—which I considered the most difficult part of my internship—since in most cases we had to break the news to parents that their children had cancer or in some situations that they were not going to make it. During these conferences I would usually observe and reflect on them with my mentor.
"I think the highlight of my internship was… being able to give back to CHLA since my sister was once a patient there herself."
Damaris Dubon '14
Major: English (creative writing emphasis), minor in Biology
Volunteer position: ScareLA: Halloween Convention in Los Angeles, Marketing and Volunteer Coordination
"The highlight of the event was meeting (alumnus) John Murdy `89 from Universal Halloween Horror Nights. Prior to ScareLA, I'd sent him an email. When I introduced myself to him, he immediately remembered me; that really took me by surprise! In addition, I got to meet and network with new people who are professionals in the themed entertainment industry. It totally opened new doors for me, especially as an undergrad pursuing this career field."
(Dubon is currently working as a production assistant for Scream Team Productions.)
Lucie Zahradnickova '14
Major: International Business
Interned at Meriis, S.R.O., a software consulting firm in Prague, Czech Republic.
"I love working with people and all the employees. I also have the opportunity to interview around 10 people when I was doing the work timesheet process optimization research, which I really enjoyed. In addition, got to speak to the employees of Hewlett Packard, of CEZ (the biggest Czech energy company), and other smaller IT companies."
Isaiah Hernandez '14
Major: Sociology
Internship with ONEgeneration, a nonprofit in the San Fernando Valley committed to assisting seniors, children, families, and people fighting diseases such as cancer and HIV/AIDS
"The highlight of my internship was realizing that I had an unknown passion and natural talent for social work. I am most likely going to pursue a master's degree in social work after I obtain my sociology degree here at Whittier."
Jaco Lau '14
Major: Business Administration
Internship: PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) in Hong Kong. PwC is an international network of firms delivering quality in assurance, tax, and advisory services.
Whittier's Center for Career Planning & Internships can help you explore, prepare for, and connect to internship opportunities that align with your academic or professional goals. Learn how to get started by clicking here.
The Office of Communications would love to hear about it. Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Wednesday, May 23, 2012 - Badminton World Federation
Noticed anything different on court at the on-going 2012 BWF Citroen Thomas and Uber Cup Finals in Wuhan?
The Badminton World Federation (BWF) has unveiled this week in Wuhan a 'fresh' new look for its technical officials - referees, umpires, assessors.
An MOU has been signed between the BWF and Qingdao Doublestar Mingren Sporting Goods Co. Ltd, who will be the official apparel sponsor for all BWF-certified and accredited technical officials.
The generous full-kit contains long/short sleeves official attire, casual t-shirts, v-neck sweaters, track suits, shorts, socks and computer bags.
The official techincal officials attire has a classic mandarin-collar neckline cut. The referees will don the attire in its red-and-black design (pictured bottom) while the umpires and assessors will sport the blue-and-black design (pictured right).
"This invaluable partnership with Doublestar goes hand-in-hand with our rebranding efforts of our events in recent years to position badminton events at the forefront of excellent sports presentation," said BWF Deputy President Paisan Rangsikitpho.
He added: "This also acknowledges and highlights both the important role the technical officials plays in our sport as well as their significant presence at our events."

Don't let the title fool you. While this set has everything to model a police station, with very little conversion, you can make nearly any kind of office, and combining with mayhem armoury, any home at all!
Build wise, this set is full of coll props that give it the edge. However, it's more complex and more time intensive then other sets I own. This is no entry level product! (even though the instructions are very detailed and helpful)
In summary, this set is at the same time detailed, thematic and versatile. This is a must buy for every serious modern gaming table.

The Mayhem Police Department is a beautifully detailed, comprehensive set for your Urban Mayhem table. It can be used to make anything from a small precinct house to a full blown jail. The detailed interior gives you an excellent setting for those jail-break scenarios, full of excellent, useful props like desks, chairs, cabinets, computers, wall charts and even a water cooler and Coffee machine. Those can not only be used to flesh out your station house, you can use them to furnish any other businesses you build, as well. Specialized interior props include a high tech weapons case and a cabinet full of body armor for your lucky survivors to find. There is even a classic 2-way mirror for your interrogation room. Of course no jail is complete without cells, so MPD has concrete cell block walls, some with graffiti, and detailed cell doors, either for printing as transparencies or on cardstock. There are toilets, beds and sinks for the cells, also. Other transparencies available include large barred windows, smaller barred windows; cell bar windows, and of course, the 2 way mirror for the interrogation room. There are many other interior props I didnt mention, from white boards, podiums, and couches to humorous, mock inspirational posters. These are also great for the interiors of other buildings you construct. Besides the interior props the interior walls come in two color schemes, red or blue, with windows, doors or plain walls. The walls are beautifully textured to represent a beat-up look with cracks in the paint job, cones of light and shadow to represent lighting from the ceiling, power outlets, and even fire alarm boxes. And, like the props, you can use these nicely detailed interior walls for interiors of other builds. A seedy Detective Office, or run-down office building, whatever you want. And thats just the interior; the exterior is just as detailed with an optional roof top helo landing pad, radio tower and searchlights. Exterior brick walls, with and without graffiti, complete with weathering, dirt, and damaged brick. Besides the props there are ground tiles, including gridded and non-gridded grass and a 1 inch and 1.5 inch gridded concrete exterior ground tile. These can be used for other builds as well, with interior floors in blue or green carpet, stained concrete, or stone floor. Then when you think theyve covered everything you need, theres a folder called Vehicles. Police motorcycles, police cars (including a burning one), SWAT van, unmarked car, Helicopter, and an armored car-like Police wagon (which with a little kitbashing can easily be an armored car).
Construction: As far as ease of construction, MPD was my first WorldWorks Games set, and I have built it twice now. Once as a foamcore build, and once again lately in 15mm scale with cardstock. The building is easy. Props are generally easy with many flat-folds or simple box-folds. I had the most difficulty with the radio tower and the vehicles.
Usefulness: Great utility here and components from the set can be used almost all through your Mayhem city. I would have bought this set for the interior props alone. Add this set to Streets of Mayhem and Mayhem Downtown and youll have a huge chunk of your city.

The Assessment Loop
- Assessment of student learning is the systematic collection of information about student
learning for the purpose of better understanding and improving learning. Academic
programs articulate program learning outcomes, that is, they identify what knowledge,
skills, and/or attitudes students are expected to demonstrate at the satisfactory
completion of a course of study. Programs also develop and implement measures to gauge
the extent to which students are mastering the stated outcomes. Data are collected
regularly, and program faculty uses these data to inform decision making about teaching
practices and the curriculum. The following diagram illustrates this assessment "loop."

I am not there yet...
Some of you may find this humorous. I drew this for my brother on his birthday last year.
As you can tell, that original piece of artwork is evidence that I chose correctly when faced with the career path. I chose the non-artist route. I am to stick figure art as Claude Monet was to impressionist painting.
Some random thoughts.
I ask you, is the person who had the idea that 50 is the new 30 closer to 50 or 30?
If 50 is the new 30, what is 30?
Is it good or bad that 50 is the new 30?
If 50 is the new 30, is it safe to assume that 100 is the new 60 or that 70 is the new 42? Does this math work in the same proportion or is there some magical formula that is safely stored in the same secret vault as the recipe for Coca Cola?
While we are on the subject of mathematics, I offer the Hebner theorem: The amount of laughter from seeing the words "large print edition" is inversely proportional to your age. (More laughter = less candles on your birthday cake)
Good advice I heard that makes more sense everyday: "walk instead of running, sit instead of standing, lie down instead of sitting". That's my idea of energy conservation.

Alan Titchmarsh used to have a show called Ground Force I would watch on BBC America. It was a garden makeover show where he and his regular crew would re-do someone's garden in two days. It would be a surprise for someone the family had nominated. The show was funny and interesting.
My similarity to Alan Titchmarsh ends there. He had a show, I watched it.
Gardening has been a family past time for generations. My parents, brilliant gardeners, passed the gene to my sisters and I. My two older sisters have amazing gardens, mine leaves something to be desired. I had fairly nice gardens, I thought they were awesome, at my first house. This house has been more of a challenge. I started out full swing but the plants didn't seem to like it so much. The soil has a lot of clay and some dopey previous owner put ground cloth down to control weeds and even cutting through it stunted the plants. The front yard is sloped and hard to garden. I seem to be always chasing a runaway wheel barrow or watering can.
I got discouraged, gained a dodgy knee and discovered the internet. The garden has thus suffered over the last 8-10 years. Periodically I would attempt to revamp a part with the help of my mother but the weeds would take over the following spring. I am fond of the "over grown" look with lots of crowding and a busy look, but weeds doing the crowding doesn't count. Although my mother defines a weed "as a plant growing where you don't want it" I haven't found any weeds I want to keep, and technically a rose could be a weed.
A couple of months ago I bought some plants from the local garden club and if I don't get them in the ground soon they will die. Some are currently on life support, but I am hoping for the best. Last weekend I visited my parents and sister in New Hampshire. I got a tour of my folks new garden shed and garden. I also got a tour of my sisters garden. Yes both are extensive enough for tours. My sister had these neat glass sculptures in one of her flower beds. They are made from discarded plates, glasses, vases, you name it, collected from thrift shops and yard sales. Inspired we decided to make some ourselves. Below you can see our first, designed and put together by the youngest. We have collected enough glass for some more [as these things look better in groups]. The oldest and I will be crafting ours soon.
Enjoy some before and after pictures of the front of the house. It still isn't finished [since every good garden is always a work in progress]

This afternoon we received the following email from Ben Depp, a photographer whose sister Martha, an artist and art teacher, was diagnosed with an advanced form of ovarian cancer:
"I put together a six-minute film on her art, life, and cancer. I think this is a good fit for your blog because of her spiritual journey through her cancer process, and it's very interesting because of how she illustrated the process with painting and drawing. Her blog has touched thousands including many with terminal cancer."
I don't know why, but I started watching Ben's quietly touching video, half expecting an against all odds type of story. It wasn't to be.
Martha died this past Thursday at the age of 33. May she rest in peace with that brand new body she was awaiting:
"Physically, healing hasn't happened. I mean, obviously, I still have cancer, and I'm obviously going to die from it. And it's all over my body. But I'm kind of happy about that because I get to go to heaven sooner and be healed and get a new body and be from pain and suffering, and tears. No more tears."

Psion PLC on Monday said that it had reached agreement with Intel Corp. and now the term "netbook" can be used by any company. As a result, Psion will not have any claims against netbook manufacturers as well as other parties using the term.
"Psion and Intel have settled the trade mark cancellation and infringement litigation brought in the Northern District of California relating to the "netbook' trademark registration," Psion said in a statement.
The litigation has been settled through an amicable agreement under which Psion will voluntarily withdraw all of its trademark registrations for "netbook". Neither party accepted any liability. In light of this amicable agreement, Psion has agreed to waive all its rights against third parties in respect of past, current or future use of the "netbook" term.
Back in December '08 Psion Teklogix, a maker of rugged mobile computers that once made consumer-oriented devices, reportedly sent a cease-and-desist letter to manufacturers of various small form-factor mobile computers asking them to stop using the term "netbook" as "netBook" is a registered trademark of Psion that was used to market ARM-based computers of sub-notebook size with limited functionality.

From the Manufacturer's Label:
- Nature's Profile of Seventeen Whole Omegas—3, 5, 6, 7, 8 & 9's
- Whole: Natural source of whole omegas + Vitamin D3 + antioxidants
Fractionated, Isolated & High-Heat Purified?
The dull, yellow hue and watery texture of purified fish oil is symbolic of highly processed products. This heavy distillation (which can be necessary to remove contaminants) can fractionate, isolate and sacrifice beneficial compounds that give fish oil its naturally vibrant color and clarity.
Wholemega: The Difference is Clear
Wholemega is different. The extra-virgin process used to extract Wholemega, similar to that used in fine olive oil, delivers an oil that is striking in color and transparency. This gentle, food-grade process preserves numerous beneficial compounds—including Vitamin D3 and Astaxanthin. The brilliant hue in Wholemega comes from Astaxanthin—an antioxidant that is naturally found in Wild Salmon and in this extra-virgin fish oil.

Diamond Brook
A Natural Filter Much of the land surrounding Diamond Brook was originally wetlands – marshy and boggy due to underground springs. Portions of undisturbed wetlands still remain behind Upper Faber Field, in the Arboretum and in Diamond Brook Park. Wetlands are crucial to the environment because they:
Green Infrastructure
Diamond Brook is a critical element of Glen Rock's "green infrastructure." "Green infrastructure" refers to those natural system that provide vital functions that keep our community healthy, clean and safe. These natural systems include rivers, streams, forests, wetlands and open spaces. These natural features quietly and beautifully clean the we air breathe, manage flooding, cool our homes and neighborhoods, and provide many other functions. Green infrastructure must be thoughtfully maintained to function effectively. When neglected or destroyed, it must often be replaced by costly, man-made structures that usually do not function as well despite the far greater expense. Learn more
Glen Rock: Watershed Management Area 4
Glen Rock is located within Watershed Management Area 4, which includes the Lower Passaic River (from the Pompton River confluence downstream to the Newark Bay) and its tributaries, including the Saddle River. The WMA 4 drainage area is approximately 180 square miles and lies within portions of Passaic, Essex, Hudson, Morris and Bergen Counties. To learning more about Watershed Management Area 4, visit the WMA 4 page on the NJ DEP website.
Just check the ET - short for EvapoTranspiration – number on United Water's website before watering. The number will tell you when and for how long you should water for optimal results with minimal water usage!
Check Today's ET number!
United Water partners with local weather experts who help determine when your lawn needs watering. They measure water loss from soil through evaporation and moisture loss from plants through transpiration, and determine a daily ET number. That's the optimal amount of water your lawn truly needs on any given day.
Your lawn stays green and healthy, and United Water says its customers save up to $200 a year by following the ET guidelines!
Environmental Resource Inventory
The Environmental Resources Inventory (ERI) presents an inventory and discussion (through text, tables and graphics) of the important natural resources and environmental features in the Borough of Glen Rock. This report is intended to provide a baseline snapshot of the Borough's natural assets for measuring, evaluating, and prioritizing resource protection issues. The identification of significant environmental resources is a necessary first step toward ensuring their protection and preservation.
Environmental Impact Reports
When significant land use projects and site plans are proposed, the GREC researches the issue and prepares reports on the environmental considerations of these proposals. We share these reports with the relevant governing bodies, such as the Borough Council and the Planning Board. Our intent is to ensure that proposals adhere to: local and state environmental ordinances and regulations,goals set forth in Glen Rock's Master Plan, Conservation Plan, and other governing documents, and include as many environmental best practices as practicable. Our goal is keep Glen Rock a clean, healthy, affordable place to live today...and for generations to come. Recent GREC reports include:
Sustainable Land Use Pledge
Smart growth is a difficult and long term proposition. As a significant, but beginning step, Sustainable Land Use Pledges are designed to be a public affirmation of a municipality's intention to align its land-use decision-making and policies to support smart growth and sustainable development.
The Borough of Glen Rock affirmed its commitment to support smart growth and sustainable development when it signed Glen Rock's Sustainable Land Use Pledge.

No smoke? That doesn't make e-cigarettes safe
The "big tobacco" industry has found another way to keep people addicted to nicotine: They market their new products as a replacement to smoking and tobacco.
E-cigarettes and vapors allow tobacco users to get their nicotine fix in potential places that were previously off-limits. People are using the products in stores, workplaces, airports, classrooms, doctor's waiting rooms, etc.
The tobacco industry is desperate to keep their businesses thriving at a time when more people are educated on the dangers of tobacco and giving up the habit to prevent chronic disease, early death and exposure to others. In addition, there are more clean-indoor-air laws that do not allow smoking.
Why are we so concerned? Some businesses allow vapor use indoors — and the inhalation and exhalation of the vapor creates a public health concern for users and bystanders who are exposed to the plume of vapor.
A critical point to realize is that e-cigarettes/vapors are not regulated for safety and manufacturing.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has the authority to regulate e-cigarettes as tobacco products and plans to issue regulations under the Tobacco Control Act. But the FDA is still researching to determine if these products are safe and what is actually in them and at what levels.
The FDA tested e-cigarette cartridges in 2009 and identified the presence of some of the following: carcinogens, diethylene glycol, tobacco-specific nitrosamines and impurities, cotinine and B-nicotyrine, Plus, cartridges listed as containing no nicotine did show nicotine was present.
The FDA has received adverse reports related to e-cigarette use, including:
numerous cases of heart complications, including palpitations, possibly due to high levels of nicotine
many cases of people encountering respiratory complications
cases of severe allergic reactions, including swelling and widespread rashes
instances of combustion resulting in destruction of property and/or burning of victims
E-cigarettes are not drug delivery devices or tobacco cessation aids (such as nicotine gum or patches), nor should they be marketed as cessation aids.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported adults who smoke traditional cigarettes and had used electronic cigarettes increased from 10 percent in 2010 to 21 percent in 2011. Youth e-cigarette use more than doubled between 2011 and 2012, as reported in the CDC's morbidity and mortality report.
The CDC states that the best way to quit smoking is to use an evidence-based cessation treatment that includes a combination of medication and counseling. Many nicotine replacement products are available by prescription and over the counter. Check with your health care provider to choose a product best for you.
Stay away from the newest gimmick advertised as a great replacement to tobacco use: It's just another form of nicotine and another habit.
I would like to thank health educators Cathryn Sanchez and Scott Schulle for contributing to this column.
Dr. Christine Nevin-Woods, director of the Pueblo City-County Health Department, has both a medical degree and a master's degree in public health and preventive medicine.

TD, That pizza looks fantastic, as does the pepperoni. Is that the difference some caputo on your formula is making? -marc
My latest batch made from pork butt instead of beef. This batch turned out better and I am getting close to my perfect pepperoni. I will post my recipe then.

Summer, 2013
David Janovsky '14 knew little about farming when he was selected to take part in UNH's President's Public Service Fellowship program in May.
But as an assistant market manager for CitySeed in New Haven this summer, he worked with farmers who sell their produce daily at farmer's markets throughout the city.
He helped organize delivery of farm shares, set up cooking demonstrations and assist people who received supplemental nutrition assistance to ensure they received additional vegetables and fruits as part of CitySeed's initiative to provide healthy foods to people on limited budgets.
These days, if folks want to know something about fruits and vegetables, Janovsky is the guy to ask. Always a healthy eater, he now figures vegetables even more prominently in his own diet. This summer he discovered kale and found it delicious.
Janovsky, a music major with a concentration in secondary education, was one of 15 students in the program who spent 11 weeks this summer working at nonprofit organizations and city agencies in West Haven and New Haven.
"I had so many new opportunities to learn and grow," he said. The staff at CitySeed was so pleased with his work that he is staying on as a work-study student this fall.
The fellows said their experiences stretched them, gave them valuable insights into possible careers and helped them to forge an indelible bond as a group. They will reflect on their experiences during a campus presentation at 9 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 12, in the Henry C. Lee Institute, room 301.
Angela Cortese, the President's Fellowship coordinator and coordinator of the Office of Community Service, said the students thrived in their placements. "Our sites ranged from refugee services to literacy, homelessness, child care and youth prevention services," she said. "We are a small group trying to tackle the big issues in New Haven and West Haven."
Some students, such as Amy Osborne '15, worked directly in the field they are studying. A double major in forensic science and chemistry, she was placed in the Forensics Services Unit of the West Haven Police Department. She learned how to dust for fingerprints and identify suspects. She went on calls with her supervisor to collect evidence for cases and helped with the documentation, examination and sealing of that evidence.
Originally, Osborne planned to go into lab work after graduate school. She had no interest in field work, but the fellowship has her thinking otherwise.
"One night we were dusting a recovered car for fingerprints," said Osborne. We had already found one or two partial prints when we found an entire hand print, palm and all five fingers on the car. The print had very little smudging, and we both just stared at it for a moment before we burst out laughing at our luck. We got a hit on the print too, so it was an all-around awesome night."
Nicole Zompa '15, a criminal justice major, spent her days caring for toddlers in the child-care center at the Connecticut Children's Museum. "My all-time favorite moment has to be the first time I saw one of the toddlers, Javi, playing out in the water," Zompa said. "He had the biggest smile on his face as he ran back and forth under the sprinkler. Each time he came my way, he gave me a big hug. Seeing the joy on his face made me so happy."
Zompa plans to work for the FBI one day, but "this has opened up the idea of working with juveniles as an option because I enjoy working with kids," she said.
Zani Imetovski '14, a political science major and president of the Undergraduate Student Government Association, also spent his summer working with children, ages 5 to 12, at the West Haven Community House. He found he had to summon up patience in ways he never had to before, as he did one afternoon when a six-year-old was acting out.
"I took a deep breath and took myself emotionally out of the situation," he said. "I found peace in myself, and then I could respond in the way a role model would." It was an approach he used again and again and a skill he said will be applicable at UNH, in law school and in whatever career he pursues.
He also saw the importance of giving back where he lives. "The West Haven Community House is right in my University's neighborhood – and I never knew it," he said. "You can have a world view and want to help the world, but you have to start locally. It was an honor to have this fellowship."

Mr. Speaker, diabetes affects far too many lives and is a major health concern in many aboriginal communities. However, there are rays of hope. People are literally on the move against diabetes, raising awareness and money to combat this epidemic.
In southern Labrador, Métis elder Guy Poole created "Liz's Walk" in memory of his wife who lost her life to complications in 2004. Over the past three years, Guy has walked the southern Labrador road from Cartwright to L'Anse au Clair.
Farther north, Michel Andrew, or Giant as he is known, began his own cross-Labrador walk between the Innu communities of Sheshatshiu and Natuashish on February 11. En route, the 27 year old Innu man received a hero's welcome as he passed through the Inuit communities of Postville and Hopedale. His fundraising and awareness walk has attracted hundreds of followers who are monitoring his progress online.
Inspirational efforts like these give us hope that diabetes can indeed be beaten.
Forestry Industry
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Jacques Gourde Lotbinière—Chutes-de-la-Chaudière, QC
Mr. Speaker, we all recognize that the forestry industry is in crisis. However, we should also know that this is a market crisis. Today, forestry sector representatives appeared before the Subcommittee on Canadian Industrial Sectors and acknowledged this fact. We were reminded of the importance of the softwood lumber agreement to this industry and the positive effect of the measures included by our government in the economic action plan.
Our approach is clear: we are protecting the forestry industry, the communities and, above all, the workers. While the Bloc members are just playing partisan politics, our government is implementing concrete measures that are recognized by the sector. The Bloc members should be in "solution" mode and not "destruction" mode. On this side of the House, we are taking real action.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate Marc-André Thibault, who is a resident of Vaudreuil-Soulanges and music teacher at Cité des jeunes high school. As a teacher, he has two great passions: helping young people succeed and music.
For the past 20 years, he has been directing choirs and organizing music camps and exchanges with European musical groups. Currently, he is putting together a fourth album with his students. He believes that music plays an important role in educating young people and building their confidence by teaching them what it means to succeed through hard work and responsibility.
On behalf of the citizens of Vaudreuil-Soulanges and my Bloc Québécois colleagues, I would like to offer my sincere congratulations to Marc-André Thibault, who was named "person of the week" by La Presse and Radio-Canada.
Bravo, Marc-André.

Tim Uppal Edmonton—Sherwood Park, AB
Mr. Speaker, an article in yesterday's Edmonton Journal raises serious concerns about past comments made by the current Liberal leader.
It quotes his book Blood and Belonging, in which he states, "Ukrainian independence conjures up images of embroidered peasant shirts, the nasal whine of ethnic instruments". The Liberal leader goes on to say, "My difficulty in taking Ukraine (its sovereignty) seriously goes deeper...I'm also what Ukrainians call a Great Russian, and there is a trace of old Russian disdain for these 'little Russians'."
These offensive statements are unacceptable for a man who wishes to lead our country. The Liberal leader's 36—

Mr. Speaker, on March 7, I had the opportunity to attend the Entrepreneurial Adventure banquet at Dalhousie. The Open for Business centre put on a conference for Restigouche high school students. The purpose of the conference was to have participants take on the challenge of becoming student entrepreneurs for the summer. During the conference, 40 students got a chance to learn the basics of entrepreneurship and develop their entrepreneurial spirit.
I would like to congratulate the participants, who demonstrated their leadership abilities, as well as all of the entrepreneurs who went out of their way to work with these future leaders. I would also like to salute the Open for Business centre for its work. The centre's services contribute to developing an entrepreneurial spirit in the region and encourage people to consider entrepreneurship as a viable career choice.

Mr. Speaker, last November, a terrible slaughter occurred in Mumbai. Among the more than 170 people slain by religious fanatics were Rabbi Gavriel and Rivka Holtzberg. The Holtzbergs were a devout couple, with a young son. They ran Nariman House, an outreach centre devoted to the spirit of charity and the love of learning found at Judaism's core.
Our colleague, the hon. Minister of Immigration, visited Nariman Chabad House after this infamous attack. In his words, "I marvelled that of the 20 million in Mumbai the killers meticulous and deliberately sought out this one man and his family".
Their murder was a senseless and brutal affront to the values of all civilized peoples.
I am sure I speak for all members of the House in expressing condolences to the Chabad Lubavitch family that is gathering in Ottawa this week and to all who mourn the deaths of Gavriel and Rivka Holtzberg. Together, we must work to protect freedom of religion in order to secure tolerance and genuine peace for all of the people of the world.

Mr. Speaker, I join my colleagues in paying tribute to the Canadian Federation of Chabad Lubavitch and its delegation of 100 representatives who are here with us today on Parliament Hill.
The Chabad-Lubavitch movement provides the largest network of Jewish educational and social service institutions across the globe.
Founded by the late Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, out of the ashes of the Holocaust, the Chabad-Lubavitch movement has been a catalyst for Jewish revival around the world. Today, it is synonymous with wisdom and kindness, offering nourishment for the body, food for the mind and soul and non-judgmental advisers always willing to listen.
In the tradition of classical Jewish scholarship, it teaches understanding of the Creator and the purpose of Creation and the unique mission of each one of us in caring for others.
I conclude by expressing our deep sorrow at the recent tragedy in Mumbai where a Chabad centre was singled out in an act of terrorism, in which Rabbi Gavriel and his wife Rivka Holtzberg were brutally killed.

Mr. Speaker, the Liberal leader has no plan for Canada's economy. That is why he is supports a job-killing carbon tax. He says he would consider increasing the GST.
The Liberal leader said he would cancel the $1,200 universal child care benefit offered by the Conservative government, saying it was a waste of money, to let parents decide how their children are cared for.
Canadians have a clear choice to make between a real plan that reduces taxes for families, helps those hardest hit and invests in roads, bridges and other infrastructure, and a Liberal leader with no plan and no economic experience, but with the misguided intention—

Mr. Speaker, on November 26, 2008, a series of horrific attacks took place in Mumbai, India, leaving 172 people dead and more than 300 injured. We remember that the terrorists who attacked the Chabad centre in Mumbai savagely assassinated Rabbi Gavriel Holzberg and his wife, Rivka Holzberg.
To commemorate this sad event, 100 rabbis representing the Canadian Federation of Chabad Lubavitch are on Parliament Hill today. I commend this group's values of peace, goodness and justice and the work it does both internationally and in Quebec.
I condemn these unwarranted attacks against innocent people. No cause or claim can justify such attacks against civilians. I would like to remind this House that the Bloc Québécois has always condemned violence and that there are other ways to defend and realize political visions.

Mr. Speaker, we pray that potentially tragic news received today may still be turned to triumph.
A more than serious situation is currently unfolding at sea in the north Atlantic, as 17 souls are believed to be struggling for their very lives in icy and turbulent waters.
At 9 a.m. this morning, a marine distress call was received from an offshore helicopter ferrying crews to the floating Sea Rose platform working the White Rose field 315 kilometres at sea. At this hour, there is hope, prayer and unstoppable resolve to use every available resource, every asset available to us to save these souls. That, and that alone, must command us now.
We are fearless and tearless until each and every man is brought home and accounted for.
As mariners, we are strengthened by the knowledge that one member of the 18-man crew has been found safe and has been returned home. Where there is one, there may be others.
I am assured that every resource, every available asset has been deployed for this rescue.
Let the House offer to the families of those in peril at this hour our very prayer. We are with them this day.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to read a quote from the International Monetary Fund report regarding the fiscal action taken by this Conservative government. It states, "the authorities responded proactively to the crisis. The IMF supports a strong fiscal package announced in January, which was large, timely, and well targeted".
Implementation of our plan is now the key challenge. Why does the leader of the Liberal Party want to stand in the way of Canada's economic recovery? While the Conservative government has listened to Canadians and has come up with a plan, the Liberal leader is too busy listening to the poor judgment of Warren Kinsella, and has no plan.
Canadians have two options: the Conservative plan of cutting taxes, providing help for those hardest hit, investing in roads, bridges and other infrastructure; or a Liberal approach, led by a leader that has no plan, no economic experience and a not so hidden agenda to impose—

Mr. Speaker, Senate hearings discovered that eligibility for EI benefits was backdated two weeks prior to royal assent of the budget. This morning Liberal senators unanimously agreed to vote immediate passage of the budget. That way Canadians will be eligible for the help they need as early as March 1.
Will the Prime Minister instruct his Conservative senators to do the same so that Bill C-10 can get royal assent and Canadians in need of enhanced EI get the help they need right now?

Our front light burned out ⦠again.
Of course, replacing it isnât as simple as screwing in a new lightbulb. There is a process:
1) Open garage door â carefully avoiding crickets, spiders and other creepy crawies â to obtain step ladder
2) Get a screwdriver to unscrew the cover â no, not that screwdriver, the one that looks like a plus sign.
3) Unscrew the cover â damn, too short ⦠tip-toe time
4) Unscrew lightbulb â dropped it, crap!
5) Clean up broken lightbulb
6) Replace lightbulb.
7) Replace cover
8) Turn on light. Um, turn on light. Damn! Bad lightbulb.
Being the craft, thrifty, creative newlywed I am, I figure I should buy some solar lights to stick in the ground and aim at the front door, so when the front light burns out, weâll have a back up. It made perfect sense.
Of course, no good deed goes unpunished and, it turns out, the area directly in front of our door gets no direct sun, thanks to a really terribly positioned bush.
So, I think about it: Iâll put it a little down the driveway so it lights up the driveway and the door. It was brilliant! Of course, as I was adjusting the head of the light the base broke. No problem! The light still worked ⦠so I just leaned it on its side. Perfect!
This morning as I was getting ready to head to work, I get a call from my husband â who was already on his way down the freeway.
âHoney. When you drove my car last night, did you turn the wheel?â
I had no idea what he was talking about, so I said, âWell, I had to, to get into the driveway. Why?â
âBecause as I pulled out this morning, I think I ran over the light.â
I covered my forehead with my hands and said: âHow did you manage that, youâd have to pull out at a 45 degree angle.â
âI didnât realize how far out I was. Iâll come back and clean it up. I donât want you to cut yourself.â
âHoney, thatâs crazy,â I told him. âIâm capable of cleaning up a light.â
âI want to buy some more lights,â he tells me.
âWe have two more in the closet,â I say.
âNo,â he says. âI want them to line the driveway. It'll brighten everything.â
âOK dear,â I say, âweâll go to the store this week and get more.â
I hang up with him and go outside. I see the light. Not only is it in many plastic pieces â it is embedded into our lawn. The good news is I was able to pry it up, the bad news is, there is now a small hole in front of our house.
Of course, it is the perfect size for a light.

Think of it as a bike pack with training wheels. The Skeeter™ is a kids' pack for beginning riders that features a 1.5L Antidote® reservoir and a reflective strip down the front for safe riding.
Antidote® Reservoir Features: 1/4 turn - easy open/close cap, lightweight fillport, patented Big Bite™ Valve, HydroGuard™ technology, PureFlow™ tube, easy-to-clean wide-mouth opening
Key Pack Features: Reflectivity
Designed to Carry: Water
CamelBak® Got Your Bak™ Guarantee: If we built it, we'll Bak it™ with our lifetime guarantee.
We recommend wiping your pack with a damp cloth to remove dirt. If the pack is extremely dirty and needs a deeper cleaning, soak it in cool or warm water with a very mild soap. Rinse the pack thoroughly with cool water. If soap residue remains in the fabric, it may create suds if exposed to water or sweat.
DO NOT wash your pack in a washing machine. Machine washing may damage the pack or affect the integrity of the fabric and fasteners, and will void the Got Your Bak™ Guarantee.
The best way to care for your reservoir is to clean and dry it after every use, especially if you fill the reservoir with anything other than water. However, if a reservoir has not been cleaned after every use, and mold or discoloration develops:
These steps will make your reservoir safe for use. If there are still spots left behind, these are permanent mold stains that may not be removable. However, your reservoir is still safe and usable after you've cleaned it.

Comments about CamelBak Turkish Sea Skeeter - Discontinued Backpack:
I got this for my 4 year old and he loves it! It fits perfectly on his back and makes him feel independent while carrying his own water. It just badly needs a chest strap. The shoulder straps fall off his shoulders and makes this seem more like a novelty piece of gear rather than a functioning piece. I am now searching for how to buy just a chest strap for it. Camelbak please fix this!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

perfect for what it is
By JH
from Columbus, OH
I'm a cyclist and runner. this pack fits great under my jersey while biking and is very light on my back while running. I did fashion a mini bungy cord across my chest to hold the shoulder straps taught - this keeps it from bouncing during running and the drink tube fits under it in front when I'm not using it. I don't carry water bottles when I do ultra running events and this is the perfect alternative.

Almost good enough
By Jeepin' Jim
from Rockwall, Texas
The quarter turn lid works great. The valve in the elbow of the tube is a useful addition. The pack is sized for kids. I am a small adult and it fits fine though barely. The tube is difficult to get fed through the hole in the pack. And the pack really needs elastic/shock cord straps across the back as a place to carry a rolled up jacket or arm warmers. The bladder is great, the pack not so much.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Los Alamos National Laboratory
Explosives exhibit opens at the Bradbury Science Museum Sept. 18

LOS ALAMOS, N.M., Sept. 12, 2013—For more than 70 years, Los Alamos National Laboratory has been a frontrunner in explosives research, development and applications. To highlight the Laboratory's work in the field of explosives, the Bradbury Science Museum is opening a new exhibit titled "The Science of Explosives" at 4 p.m. on Sept. 18.
"The science of high explosives was born at Los Alamos on July 4, 1943 when the physicist Seth Neddermeyer conducted his first implosion experiment to test a theoretical concept," said Cary Skidmore of Los Alamos' Detonator Technology Group. "Since that time, theory, experiment and simulation have combined at Los Alamos to effectively lead the world in many aspects of explosives science, technology and safety."
"Building a scientific understanding of high explosives has been a core capability of Los Alamos National Laboratory since the Manhattan Project," said Bradbury Science Museum Director Linda Deck.
"Today the Laboratory continues to 'write the book' on these energetic materials, and we're excited to be able to present this work in our new exhibit."
The exhibit shows in pictures, words and videos how decades of cutting-edge research has made the Laboratory a worldwide leader in explosives applications. It will feature the Laboratory's work with explosives, from synthesis of new molecules to waste treatment. It also examines a variety of scenarios with many applications, ranging from explosives assessment and lethality to detonation and wave physics and blast effects.
"The Laboratory's mission areas require full-spectrum energetic materials capability and expertise. From bench-top to large-scale experimentation, a broad suite of diagnostic, modeling and simulation capabilities are employed to evaluate weapon response and performance," Dan Hooks of the Laboratory's Weapon Engineering and Experiments Directorate said.
Before the exhibit opening, Skidmore and Hooks will give a lecture on explosives from noon to 1 p.m. on Sept. 18. It is free and open to the public; attendees are welcome to bring a lunch to the talk. Admission to the Bradbury Science Museum is always free and the public is welcome to attend. Photography is allowed at the opening.
Mensa, an internationally recognized high-IQ society, recently named the Bradbury Science Museum as one of its top 10 "Favorite Science Museums.

Lakewood Forms Zoning Code Committee
LAKEWOOD – The Lakewood Village Board has formed a committee to re-examine its zoning code.
On Monday, David Wordelmann, village mayor, announced his recommendations for those he wants on the new committee. His recommendations included Susan Drago, village trustee and deputy mayor; William Chandler, village Zoning Board of Appeals chairman; Jon Pearson, village Planning Board chairman; Charles Smith, village code enforcement officer and building inspector; Edward Wright, village attorney; Joseph Johnson, village clerk; one member from both the Zoning and Planning boards selected by the chairman of each; and himself as chairman of the new committee.
In addition, Wordelmann recommended a subcommittee that includes David DiSalvo and John Jablonski III, village trustees. During a Village Board meeting in May, the committee to re-examine village codes was discussed, with DiSalvo and Jablonski stating one of them, if not both, should be on the new committee. DiSalvo said with two members of the Village Board with master's degrees in urban planning, with particular expertise in zoning and planning, Jablonski and himself could be great assets in the process.
On Monday, Wordelmann said because of the state's Open Meetings Law, a quorum of any of the village boards cannot be part of the committee without having to publicize each meeting and opening it to the public. Wordelmann said he recommended the subcommittee so DiSalvo and Jablonski can meet and pass on ideas to committee members.
DiSalvo said with two paid professionals on the Village Board – Jablonski and himself – he would recommend one of them be selected for the committee instead of Drago. Wordelmann said he picked the deputy mayor because she has been on the board longer than any other members of the Village Board other than himself.
"I do want to include your expertise," Wordelmann said to DiSalvo and Jablonski.
Jablonski said he agrees with DiSalvo that one of them should be on the committee.
"The most qualified people should be on this committee," he said.
The Village Board members then discussed having the meetings to discuss village zoning open to the public. The mayor said, in his experience, the more people you bring into the discussion the longer it takes to get anything accomplished. He did say that instead of waiting to have public hearings on the possible changes to village zoning at the end of the process, that they can have public hearings throughout the process so the committee knows what village residents want from possible changes.
The Village Board then voted on forming the committee that passed 3-2, with DiSalvo and Jablonski voting no.

Powerful stuff
Posted by azarova on Sep 10, 2013
The more I compare the more I think it is the best protein product out there. It won't immediately make your hair silky like silicones do, but it will make it stronger and fill in the pores in the hair, which is a long-term effect while silicone effect isn't. If your hair is damaged after chemical treatments this is a thing to use, not just moisturizing products. The price is amazing too. The product is on a thicker side, has a slightly protein-ish smell but it never stays on the hair. I recommend leaving it on for at least 5 minutes, but you'll get best results leaving on for full 10. I leave it on for longer sometimes and it works well. If you have really dry hair you might want to use conditioner after reconstructor, I recommend Giovanni Smooth As Silk Conditioner. Please click "yes" if this information was helpful. See other reviews and info on my personal page.
Rescue to my damaged hair
Posted by Reviewer3157480 on May 23, 2010
I recently had a perm. My hair felt damaged and dry. It also lost the original shine. (I used to have black shiny hair.) I searched on iherb.com and found this product. Just after one use, my hair is shiny, soft, smooth and silky. I can't stop touching it. This product is like magic. If I can I will give it 10 stars. I love all of the Giovanni hair product I have used!
Great product!
Posted by Reviewer3305953 on Oct 08, 2010
I have very dry coarse highlighted hair and this reconstructor is wonderful! It added a lot of moisture and my hair feels so much softer! I'll definitely be buying more when I run out! Thanks iHerb for the great service too!

Felt a difference in my hair after the first use. It was so soft I could not stop touching it. I definitely recommend this.

great for dry, damaged hair

My biggest issue are split ends and dryness. This is a great weekly conditioning treatment I use. Definitely recommend it if you have the same problems as me.
Posted by Anaterma on Oct 11, 2013
this is the first and the very last time that i had bought anything based purely on reviews and not on ingredient list. this mask doesn't do anything. i also find the formulation mediocre. it keeps saying protein repairing system on the tube but i don't see any proteins in the ingredient list. just maybe "soy seed extract" but then i can't tell for sure if it's soy oil (it is an extract from seeds after all), or soy protein or whatever. the only star i can give this is for the thick mask-like consistency which, i guess, makes it work as a base for DIY hair masks. still it's a waste of money. for this price you can get bigger volume of infamous mill's creek keratin conditioner which i find to be the best.

Best hair mask ever
Posted by babyborderline on Jun 28, 2012
I love this hair mask, I use it several times a week. Makes my long hair silky smooth without the nasty stuff found in conventional hair care. I never would have thought my hair could get this silky without a product with silicones in it! Also, very affordable. I actually discovered this product (my entry into the Giovanni world) in my local health shop (paid 6 times the price for it compared to on iHerb, but still kept going back for it for about a year before I found it here). It's a winner for dry, processed long hair!
Good conditionner - makes a difference
Posted by ShaktiSophia on Aug 28, 2012
I love the smell. It detangles and leaves my hair quite soft with nice luster. I combine it with Giovanni Direct Leave-in Conditioner, which has a similar formula. For better restoration of dry, brittle and damaged hair I'm now going to use it as a hair mask, leaving it on overnight before shampooing my hair. If my hair looks and feels restored, I'll update my comment and give it 5 stars.

I have recently purchased a Larrivee guitar OM model which has an L.R.Baggs magnetic pickups installed in it.
The problem I have is that I incorporate a lot of body percussion in my playing which the pickup does not pickup. lol
Would I be able to hook up the lyric microphone pickup to the one already in my guitar and run it through the same single jack output?
