Issues I have encountered with ePub creation from inDesign CS5.5CD@TriscellePub Jan 14, 2012 4:14 PM
There seems to be many things Adobe can do to improve the out-of-the-box ePub creation mechanism to reduce (or potentially eliminate) the effort publishers must go through in order to make their ePub files compliant with the latest ePub validation tools, as well as eBook distribution centers. This is a working list of problems encountered from my inDesign CS5.5-produced ePub:
- "" in the TOC file was undeclared: inDesign generated a TOC, within a document, that contained no actual hyperlinks. href="#"
- Fixed by manually placing the proper file references, instead of the #; solution performed outside of inDesign
- Cound not decrypt font files; I don't think I set any kind of encryption, so perhaps it is an inDesign default, but that is just a guess. The actual cause is unknown to me at this time.
- Fixed by manually deleting Encryption.xml from \META-INF
- "apos" was undefined in the content.opf file. Within the <dc:title></dc:title> section, apostrophes were used (defined in File Info in the metadata forms) as part of the title. inDesign treated them as HTML and not XML, thus changing a ' to '
- Fixed by manually changing ' back to ' in the content.opf file
- inDesign mistakenly classified OpenType fonts as "x-font-otf"
- Fixed by manually changing "x-font.opf" to "vnd.ms-opentype"
- One issue I have yet to resolve seems to revolve around the cover image file. Apparently, the cover image I attached while generating the ePub file is either unreachable or unused. Here is the error message from FlightCrew: "this resource is present in the OPF <manifest>, but it's not reachable (it's unused)"
- Unresolved. I am attempting to add a document containing the graphics file to see whether having the file referenced in an attached HTML document fixes the issue. Short of that, I plan to remove the cover from the ePub generation, as many distribution services out there want you to upload the cover file separately anyway... The second solution seems most probable to work
- One last set of issues encountered had nothing to do with inDesign, but were more with how I named my files and directories. One rule of thumb to follow is to not include spaces in file names. Another is to ensure file names begin with a letter and not a number.
- While I do not proclaim to know why having spaces or file names starting with a number are bad, fixing the file names eliminated those errors. Unfortunately, I had to completely rebuild my book from scratch, and I also had to relink and re-embed all of my graphics. I won't be making that mistake again.
Tools used to validate ePub files were epubcheck-1.1, epubcheck-1.2, epubcheck-3.0b3, FlightCrew, and Lulu's file upload for eBook distribution service
Tools used to produce the ePub file and edit the file contents included inDesign CS5.5, Dreamweaver, and Microsoft Notepad

Macy's Thanksgiving Parade to have local flavor
EXETER TWP., Pa. - When the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade steps off in Manhattan on Thursday, you might see some local faces.
"It's a lot of fun, and it's just that feeling when you play music, it's a lot of fun and just thrilling," said Sarah Miller, a Fleetwood High School student who will be playing the piccolo in the Macy's Great American Marching Band.
The idea for the band was created by Dennis Rhoads, owner of the Exeter Twp.-based production company Music Festivals, Music Tours Unlimited, Inc.
Richard Good, the band's director, also has a local connection. He graduated from Allen High School in Allentown.
"To see the kids come and have the experience and have a great time, it's just something that money can't buy," said Rhoads.
For the chance to be in the band, auditions were held all across the country. Students from Wilson and Blue Mountain high schools also made the cut.
For Sarah, a Fleetwood High senior, this is her second year in the band.
"It's kind of like the thrill of being in such a big parade and being in front of millions of people," said Sarah.
But it's not all work. Students also go sightseeing.
Rhoads said his production company works year-round to bring this experience to high schoolers.
He also explained that, in light of cuts in music funding in schools across the country, participating in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is priceless for many students.
"It's a great experience for every member of my staff, and it's very gratifying to see the students from all over the country and have a great experience," said Rhoads.
If you want to catch the Great American Band, it should be playing on your television at about 10 a.m. Thanksgiving Day.

Postgame: FC Dallas
The Columbus Dispatch - June 29, 2014 07:23 PM
It was almost impossible to separate today's on-field action from the real-life drama that had taken place less than 20 hours prior.
With Columbus Fire lieutenant Stu Tudor in critical but stable condition after being struck by lightning moments before the Crew was scheduled to kick off Saturday night against FC Dallas in Crew Stadium, both teams eked out a scoreless draw in muggy conditions Sunday afternoon. From the fans who showed up early to make signs of support for Tudor to the pregame statement read over the public address system to the red ribbon worn by Crew coach Gregg Berhalter, it was clear that the events of the previous night hung heavy over today's competition.
When Berhalter was asked what he made of today, his answer was twofold.
"First of all, I want to give our best wishes and thoughts and prayers to Stu Tudor and his family," he said. "We're all in his corner and he's one of us. He was certainly on our minds the last 24 hours.
"What do I make of the event? I will complement both teams for hanging in there and still trying to play the game. The conditions were tough. The phones are saying it feels like 100 degrees and it was very much like some of these games in Brazil. All the players on the field gave a great effort and it's a bit complement to them still coming out and sticking with it."
A coach praising both teams for simply playing the game says it all. The game was canceled Saturday at 9:12 p.m. and the reschedule date was not finalized until 12:43 a.m. this morning. That meant an extra night in Columbus for Dallas, a change to everyone's routines and less than 14 hours to official begin preparations for the first game for each team since Major League Soccer's three-week World Cup break.
Crew defender Eric Gehrig said his first thought upon arriving at the stadium today was of Tudor, but he and his teammates had to block that out when the whistle blew.
"It's difficult of course," captain Michael Parkhurst said. "When we got the news last night we were all thinking of the gentlemen and his family. We're professionals and when we come out here you have to put everything to the side. You don't think about your family, you don't think about outside stuff. You've got a job to do and a task at hand and just focus on that. I think the guys did a good job with that.
"We're all aware of the situation and what's going on. During those 90 minutes I don't think it took a toll on anyone. Not to take away from the situation, but as professionals that's what we have to do: block out everything that's on the outside and focus on the task at hand."
The conditions didn't help things. Temperatures ranged in the upper 80s and although a brief rainstorm had fans running for cover during the first half, Berhalter said the dry field was a stark contrast to the wet field he expected would have yielded a fast-paced game Saturday night.
The decision to play the game today was made by MLS, according to a statement.
"The health and safety of our fans is always our top priority, and we believe it was the right decision to postpone the match," MLS executive vice president Dan Courtemanche said. "The decision to reschedule the game to Sunday afternoon was made by the League. When matches are postponed, MLS' standard policy is to reschedule the game to the next day if possible. This policy is similar to other professional sports leagues. We apologize for any inconvenience to the fans."
After the game, Crew players and coaches signed one of the banners for Tudor.
"It's not surprising from the fans in the Nordecke," Gehrig said. "Those guys are great. They're behind everyone in the Crew family whether it's the players, the coaches the personnel or the fans. We're all in it together. I think all Crew Nation is behind Stu and hopefully he can pull through here."
With one game before the midway point of the season, midfielder Justin Meram said the draw at home was not what the Crew wanted.
"We definitely could've gotten three points for sure," he said. "We didn't create enough, including myself. In the first half I thought we were pretty good. In the second half I don't know what happened but we need to create more chances."
After missing the last three games before the World Cup break, midfielder and vice captain Wil Trapp made his return to the Crew lineup. Trapp started and was replaced in the 68th minute as he continues to work his way back to full fitness.
"The knee feels great," he said. "Honestly it's more just getting the fitness back. I was still a little tired out there and it was a hot day. (I'm) getting back into a rhythm and just being clear on the ball. I gave a few away where I just wasn't as aware as I needed to be. That comes from getting back into training and getting back into the swing of things. It's frustrating but these are things I can work on. It's great to be back out playing."
Designated player Federico Higuain, who missed the last game and a half with a hamstring injury, came on as a substitute for only the third time in his Crew career. He replaced Ben Speas in the 68th minute.
Kevan George made his season debut in relief of Trapp. The Trinidad & Tobago international made seven appearances for USL Pro affiliate Dayton before being recalled to the Crew.
"We used that relationship (with Dayton) to give Kevan playing time and to get him fit and get him confident," Berhalter said. "We had the goal that we'd bring him back at some point and add him to our squad and hopefully he could perform. He did that today. I think he did well and that's what these relationships are about with our affiliate club. We want to help them with performance but also give our guys minutes and rhythm."
As for Trapp and Higuain, Berhalter said the important thing is "to get them minutes. We want them back and want them in form and you start by getting them minutes. Overall I think it was a good exercise for both of them."
Midfielder Alvaro Rey, acquired just before the Crew's last game before the break, made his debut when he relieved Meram in the 80th minute. He was part of a nice Crew build-up that nearly resulted in a Jairo Arrieta goal.
"He had a decent combination on that chance we had with Jairo," Berhalter said. "He needs to get into it. He needs to get fit and he will and he needs to get integrated into our system but that will come. He showed some spark today."

Today, Secretary Clinton hosted the 3rd annual International Women of Courage Awards ceremony with guest speaker First Lady Michelle Obama in the Ben Franklin Room at the State Department. Secretary Clinton said:"Our honorees and the hundreds of millions of women they represent not only deserve our respect, they deserve our full support. When we talk about human rights, what I think of are faces like these. What I am committed to is doing everything in my power as Secretary of State to further the work on the ground in countries like those represented here to make changes in peoples' lives. That doesn't happen always in the halls of government. It happens day to day in the towns and cities, the villages and countryside where the work of human rights goes on.
We simply cannot solve the global problems confronting us, from a worldwide financial crisis to the risks of climate change to chronic hunger, disease, and poverty that sap the energies and talents of hundreds of millions of people when half the world's population is left behind. The rights of women – really, of all people – are at the core of these challenges, and human rights will always be central to our foreign policy."
You may read the Secretary's full remarks here.

Wow, First Lady Michelle Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the same forum. Great
Rosemary in New Jersey writes:
Oh Hillary!
This was so beautiful and nice. I love seeing you in the spotlight at State and the way you use the attention to share so generously with others. I know this is not the first year these awards were given, but it is the first time I knew about them -- because of you.
Not only were these special women honored, but, once again my horizons have been broadened because of you. I have worked with international students for many years and am acquainted with many cultures, but there is always something new to learn.
Thank you for sharing this special event so graciously. By the way, your graciousness is an example to which I hold myself. You are a fabulous teacher, and you are doing a fantastic job at State!
Thanks for sharing this.
Wendy in California writes:
Hurray Secretary Clinton! Hurray First Lady Mrs. Obama! Hurray noble and brave women! "Enriched and enraged" indeed. So much superb is done and begun. Thank all and each of you for transforming rage into courage.
I wish this extraordinary ceremony could be seen in every classroom in America and around the world. What dreams of girls would be ignited.
Lisa in Germany writes:
Blessings. I am very proud of you all and thank you for the opportunity to be able to experience this beautiful event.
Rosemary in New Jersey writes:
@ Wendy in CA -- Wendy, look at that! Just by wishing, you came up with a great suggestion in answer to the question of the week! If every classroom had access to these networks, every little girl (and boy) could see this video. This kind of communication would go a long way toward forming attitudes in the next generation that would allow for the expansion of women's rights.
Way to go, Wendy!

A proud day for mankind in recognising the efforts of these outstanding women. A great honour to all Malaysians to have one of our own among them.

They were very inspiring speech's. I think all 7 women have a lot of courage and hope for the future.
I liked Ambiga Sreenevasan speech,the part about the souls of the nations was very good.I hope they all stay well, and keep working for a better Future.
Cya :)
Eric in New Mexico writes:
One would hope such recognition would afford these brave ladies a certain security from retalialation, official or otherwise in their homelands.
I'm glad Sec. Clinton explained to folks why ceremonies like this are a lot more than just pomp and circumstance.
Brooke Spelman- Political Officer at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing posed a thoughtful question in her recent blog entry here, and asked, "Isn't every day women's day?"
I replied, "A smart man would make it so."
Not to take the subject lightly, I think I may have hit upon the most comprehensive solution in ten words of common semse or less that was every revealed to be self evident.
Wendy in California writes:
@ Rosemary NJ. When I was 39, I saw a press conference with Sally Ride, the first American woman astronaut. I starkly remember thinking, 'Holy moly, I could have been an astronaut.' It had simply NEVER OCCURRED to me until I *saw* her. It made the power of the 'role model' indelible to me.
It's probably a tad late on my becoming a diplomat, but I sure would love all the girls (and boys) in our schools to *see* that the future of global engagement *is* diplomacy.
I'd love State to have semiannual youtube-esque contests for Kid Diplomats where a spokes-kid for a class sends video greetings to a class in another country (& they send theirs too) on How Kids Can Bring Peace to the World, say. Google or Cisco or Microsoft etc would give each participating school a new computer for that class or for their library, say.

Patricia S. in New York writes:
Seeing the First Lady and the Secretary of State at the same event was encouraging. But a photo that appeared in The New York Daily News was not encouraging. The First Lady looked like she was put-off while the Secretary of State was at the podium and I hope her look did not speak volumes.
Shankar in Malaysia writes:
Heartiest congratulations,
to all the winning candidates, with a special mention to our Dato' Ambiga who made each & every Malaysians proud of you & your achievements.
Continue your effort & good work, ladies.

Are you working to get Roxana Saberi out of Iranian prison? You need to get her out. Iran has done this before. Has Iran declared a war against outspoken American women? Do they think they can just grab one and take her and do what they want with her? This unacceptable. Something unconscionable has happened here. You can't let it continue. Please get Roxana out.
Ali in Texas writes:
Madam Secretary, I applaud your work. I worked for you campaigning. And I stand ready to work for you again. I ask you to consider putting your considerable weight behind an economic issue that affects women at home. It is a fact that women are not represented in proportion to their numbers. while explanations for this have changed over the history of this county, today's reasons are reflective of today's culture and the problems that we need to address. Women have the right to vote but as you know first hand, the biases and barriers against women to run for elected positions remains. May I suggest ONE important way to effectuate change in that area. We should consider the Nanny Tax as the poll tax for today's women. It should be considered shameful to tax child care annual for monies received above $1400! Think about the hourly wage to make that amount of money per year! Women leaders should support other women standing up to run for political office with genuine solidarity that failure to pay taxes on child care is a brave act of civil disobedience and not a barrier to have their voices heard in order to change the economics of women and the care of their children. It was more than disappointing to recently hear one woman Senator say she and her girlfriends in political office thought back and rejoiced that they were 'smart' back then to have pay their Nanny Tax. How disconnected from the woman who takes care of her nanny when she or her child is ill. How disconnected is that senator from the woman who continues to pay the other woman taking care of her children when the Nanny has cancer, when the Nanny's child is sick, when the Nanny needs blankets, hand-me-downs, etc. Women know how this bartering system works. Taxing for childcare above $28,000 makes sense but it makes sense then for the Nanny to handle her own affairs. We need to think outside the box on this issue. I will begin to write more and more on this until I see the change we need. when we tackle this issue, we should bravely look to see what the other issues are that causes fewer women to run for office. I think you for considering this important issue.
Ash in Malaysia writes:
congrats to dato' ambiga. ur achievements giv students like me courage to face the world everyday. n tank u to Secretary Clinton for having such an award to honour all the women around the world. a woman honoured is another step to women empowerment. very encouraging.

It was a great idea, because if you've played the game before you could avoid many of the monster mobs by avoiding the trigger points.Dragon quest 9 is probably one of the best rpgs out there. I have played countless rpgs [ff 1-10], Golden sun,etc and I found one the biggest things that annoyed the hell out of me was the random encounters! The sheer concept of this pisses me off because I found later on, I was rushing through dungeons, temples, etc and not enjoying them because I didnt want to encounter a monster I could easily one shot! DQ9 adds an awesome touch, you can see the enemies! Hence, you can avoid them in a dungeon if you are in a hurry not walk 3 steps, encounter a bat, kill bat, rinse and repeat. All rpgs should have this system as a standard game mechanic.

Marriage and divorce
I cannot speak for all the Bible-thumping, gun toting, freedom-lovers out there, but I want share some thoughts about the marriage and divorce rates in this country.
Marriage rates in this country are on a rapid decline. That alone might not mean too much. Now, compare that with the number of children being born to unwed parents, and you find a disturbing trend. Why is this happening? What is going on?
Here is my take on the marriage rates:
Here is what I think is going on. First of all, as our nation continues to run away from almighty God, and has embraced the principles of sexual freedom. Letting people do what they want, on their own time, on their own property is one thing. Forcing everyone else to pay for other people's lack of judgment is another story. If people had to deal with the consequences of their actions, not to be confused with receiving all kinds of taxpayer handouts, I wouldn't care too much about what anyone does with their free time.
In a day and age where we are told to rationalize our emotions and do what feels good to us right now, a roll in the hay with whoever, whenever, where ever you want makes perfect sense.
Fear not, we will even give your middle-school-aged children condoms, contraceptives, and abortions on demand, all of which will be provided free of charge without any need for parental consent. After all, your children might not like it if they have to take care of a child.
What ever happened to teaching the kids about the one and only, guaranteed to work, without fail, birth control method, called abstinence? What am I thinking, though? Yes, I know that would require people to control their urges and not rationalize their emotions. That would make too much sense. We cannot be having that. Such things are highly frowned upon. Hopefully, somebody understood where I was going with that.
Here is another angle on why marriage rates continue to decline. Since the feminist movement came along and eventually took to portraying men as monsters just for being, well, men, Everybody knows that all men are evil because they do not act and behave like women.
The logic used here is so profound and far beyond my grasp. Obviously, I cannot understand such things because I am one of those evil, wicked men that just happens to have a pasty-white complexion.
Feminism has nothing to with equal rights. It is all about special treatment.
Men are becoming more and more reluctant to get married because the costs and risks involved have gotten way too high.
Think about this: if a man has enough insight to work hard and become successful in whatever field, then it is very likely that he also understands that he can lose everything in a divorce.
His wife, kids, business, income, investments, saving, and such can all be ripped from his hands in the form of alimony. I am not saying that there are no "dead beat dads" out there. I do acknowledge their existence. I am not making excuses for those guys. That is another topic for another time.
Now, for my take on the increasing divorce rates:
In the case of those who went ahead and got married, finding a reason to file for divorce has become much, much easier.
Way back in the day, one could file for divorce in the cases of abuse, adultery, and/or abandonment.
Now days you can file for divorce for those reasons, or because your spouse snores, and all sorts of other asinine things.
We all know that property and everything else is not going to be split 50/50.
Sure, it will be cut two ways, but the female is going to walk away with a lot more than the male most of the time. There is always the chance of the male having his wages garnished to redistribute his income to his ex-wife as an alimony payment until he his heart stops.
We also know that the line, "for the well-being of the children," is nothing more than a bag of lies.
"For the well-being of the children," when translated into simplified English reads: "Sir, you are not going to receive custody of the children. It is likely that you will never see them again. We might allow you to see them once every month, with supervision, of course. Whether or not you are more or less qualified or able to take care of the children is completely irrelevant."
How about a few solutions?
Since I shared my thoughts regarding what has gone wrong, I will toss a few ideas out there for solving the problem.
Marriage is a sacred covenant between one man, one woman, and God.
We keep hearing about the "separation of church and state" and how the churches cannot do this and that. That is a two-edged sword.
Since the churches cannot do this, that, and everything else, the federal and state governments should stay out of the marriage business. Let the churches deal with the sacred covenant of marriage.
Repeal any and all laws regarding marriage. Property and other things would remain the same, regardless of marital status.
Allow me to simplify that. What is his, will remain his, and what is hers, will remain hers. Any benefits that pertain to marriage, such as insurance coverage, would have to go as well. It would be equal and fair, without any discrimination.
That is what I have to say about the marriage and divorce rates in America. That was my attempt to identify the problem and offer solutions to repair the damage.

- New State Breastfeeding Coordinator: We are pleased to announce that Shanna Morgan has accepted the position as the Missouri State Breastfeeding Coordinator. Shanna is a Registered Nurse that comes to us from Capital Regional Medical Center and has experience in maternal child health as a childbirth and breastfeeding educator. She is in the process of pursuing her certification as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. As in the past, Shanna's office will be located in the Bureau of Genetics and Healthy Childhood, but she will continue to work with WIC and Nutrition Services in the areas of breastfeeding and the Peer Counseling Program. Shanna will be attending the US Breastfeeding Conference on Coalitions meeting, scheduled for January 26 -28, 2008, in Arlington, Virginia. Please join us in welcoming Shanna when she begins her new position on December 17, 2007.
- Upcoming Holiday- December 24, 2007: In the December 3, 2007 WIC Updates there was an article stating that the state WIC office would be open as usual on Christmas Eve. After this was posted, the Governor signed an executive order closing state offices on Christmas Eve. Therefore the state WIC office will be closed on Christmas Eve, December 24, 2007.
If you have questions, contact Mark Davis at firstname.lastname@example.com or 573-526-5323 or 800-392-8209

The full sized poster (11"x17") can be individualized for your agency by adding a 2" x 4" mailing label (this is a common size) with personalized information. Just affix the label over the statement "Please contact your local WIC provider for more information or 1-800-TEL-LINK". We recommend using large colorful letters with a sans serif font on the label to make your information more readable from a distance. After individualizing the poster, take the opportunity to make contacts with local partners such as Family Support Division offices, WIC Vendors and doctors' offices to build your local referral network and ask them to put up the poster at their establishments. If you have questions about these recommendations contact Glenn Studebaker at firstname.lastname@example.com or 573-751-6198 or 800-392-8209.

Jaime Hernandez: The 1995-W Proof Silver Eagle has the lowest mintage in the entire Proof Silver Eagle series. The 1995-W Proof Silver Eagle was produced to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the Silver Eagle Program.
The coin was only offered in a 10th Anniversary special five-piece coin set. Each set contained a $5, $10 $25 and $50 Proof Gold Eagle from 1995. As a free bonus, customers were allowed to receive a free coin with their order. Surprisingly, the coin was the newly introduced 1995-W Proof Silver Eagle.
The 10th Anniversary Set was priced at $999 each, either for all four Proof Gold Eagles or all four Proof Gold Eagles along with the free 1995-W Proof Silver Eagle as a bonus. All customers had to do was indicate that they wanted to receive the free coin on their order form and they would receive the 1995-W Proof Silver Eagle.
The 1995-W Proof Silver Eagle became the key date coin to the entire Proof Silver Eagle series. The coin ended up surpassing the values of every single coin in the 1995 Gold Proof Set, including all of the gold coins combined.

A parting shot from the crony Blairite lickspittle machine, this piece of shit, was from none other than Wolff Olins, normally an OK design house, but on record ON TELEVISION, (pre 1982) for producing a logo for the pencil giant, Staedtler of Germany- of not being reduceable. Fine when it was 12 metres high and on a building, but utterly unreadable and too small when it was actually on a PENCIL! duhhh!
Now this dog's dinner was actualy awarded without a PITCH!
It cost £400,000. That's $800,000 in today's money, and it sucks!
The word London is an afterthought, and is in a reluctant lower case.
It looks like a swastika cut up for origami, combined with SS thunderflashes- already the flashing video has had to be withdrawn because the flashing caused 18 people to go into epileptic shock.True!
It has nothing to do with sport, London, Olympics, and the bidding process is so suspect it must have been carried out by BAE systems bidding for a Saudi arms contract. ( See today's press for the rest of this unsavoury story).
When you think about the talented people in the UK who could have knocked this on the head in a lunchtime, but were not asked, then the cretins who approved it, it is only right that normal people's blood begins to boil. There is a growing call to scrap this crap and move on.
Especially more when you look at the rich hertage of Olympic logos- Barcelona, Sydney, Montreal, all elegant, lasting and iconic.
Oy vey! It makes me ashamed to be here in this country.
Actually, I like it.
Though I have seen it described somewhere as "two Rock'em Sock'em Robots giving each other hand jobs".
It's crap. Really, it is.
And not very pratical as well, the logo needs to be quite big for you to be able to read the type.
I kinda like it. :)
I disagree with the colors, but I love the nod to Neville & Peter Saville
They've admitted the colours at the logo launch were essentially space-fillers, the "base colours" for the campaign. In use, the shapes will usually be seen filled with photos or other designs.
Here's the Telegraph article where the designers explained their "infill" concept.
Oh, well now I actually like it better. I was worried that those colors would be tremedously passé by the time the logo was all over the place.
Okay, an evolving color scheme makes it slightly better.
But the point that you can read the text only if the logo is really big, still stands.
And I still don't like it!
Sunday Telegraph: The chunky, geometric shapes spelling out the date 2012...
2012? Nope. I just can't see that. Even after knowing what it is supposed to be. I don't like it.
Edit: Okay, I see it now. I still don't like it.
hehe, at least it doesn't seem to leave anyone without an opinion, which is something, right? ;)
It's the chunky, geometric shapes I don't like. It just doesn't appeal to me.
I liked it.

Expiration Date:?Aug 2019Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.35 lbsShipping WeightThe Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Solid sesame oil - soaks in immediately, but I prefer this for body use only. I use Aura Cacia for my face - to control adult acne. The Hobe Labs product might work for face but I found the other, aforementioned product to work just a little bit better,.

Counties approve college budget
ELIZABETHTOWN – Both the Essex County Board of Supervisors and the Franklin County Board of Legislators have approved North Country Community College's 2013-14 budget.
Total spending in the budget is $14,625,300. Each county would be responsible for providing $1.19 million of that.
Essex and Franklin counties both sponsor the college, which has campuses in Saranac Lake, Malone and Ticonderoga.
Each counties' portion would be split up into $1.14 million for operating expenses and $50,000 for capital spending.
College officials in the past have tried to get the counties to sponsor more significant capital projects, arguing that the college's main campus in Saranac Lake needs a serious overhaul, but the counties have rejected it. College officials say the $50,000 regularly put into the capital accounts barely deals with all the Band-aid fixes needed to keep the campuses running.
On Monday, Willsboro town Supervisor Ed Hatch was the only Essex County supervisor to vote against the budget. He explained at a Ways and Means Committee meeting the previous week that he doesn't think the counties can afford to sponsor the college. He also said he believes the college's budget should be considered during the counties' budget time, rather than being a set expense going into the county budget process.
On Thursday, the Franklin County Board of Legislators unanimously approved the college's budget.

Colorful dresses, constant chatter, warm hugs, and the sound of smooth jazz filled Roone Arledge Auditorium in Lerner Hall as AXO sisters and alumnae gathered on Sunday to celebrate their new brownstone on 114th Street between Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue.
"We have been waiting for 22 years to get this house," former chapter president Liz Matory, CC '02, said. "When I was in school, we always had to reserve space around campus," she said, referring to the sorority's initiation ceremony.
Tamsin Davies, SEAS '07, '13, AXO's chapter adviser, emphasized the significant growth that has taken place over the last several years. The number of members in each class has increased by about four times since 2002.
At the celebration, Davies held up a big, red, glittery styrofoam key symbolizing the key to the house.
The brownstone currently houses 22 students. Sisters say it has a cozy atmosphere—maroon couch chairs, a flat-screen TV, a kitchen, and plenty of space to relax and study. There is even a blanket with the AXO insignia woven in green and red.
"I really love living with all my best friends. It's so great knowing everyone in the house and being able to walk by and constantly see people," AXO Vice President of Recruitment Libby Fortin, BC '15, said.
Seeing her sisters doing work is motivating, Fortin added. "I can get work done without having to go to Butler," she said.
"I really enjoy having the house," Kristin Austin, CC '16, said. "It has given me the chance to get to know more sisters and is accessible to everyone."
Many current students said they are particularly glad that the new brownstone allows all their members easy access. Because AXO has a larger proportion of Barnard students than other sororities at Columbia, the chapter's former space in an East Campus townhouse sometimes presented a challenge when many students had to be signed in.
AXO recently had an event at the brownstone for Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
"We held the event in our house, and none of the sisters had to worry about getting in because they all have swipe access," Chapter President Alex Salerno, CC '14, said.
Alumnae of AXO traveled from near and far to visit the new house, and sisters from other universities attended the ceremony as well.
Su Hilty, treasurer of the New York AXO alumnae association, lived in a house with her sisters for her last two years of college at the University of Wisconsin.
"The house really is a home with your sisters," she said. "You live together, study together, and party together. My closest friends till this day are all from AXO."
The New York Alpha Chi Omega Alumni Association has worked to strengthen its bond with the collegiate chapter in recent years. It donated the flatware set that now sits in the kitchen of the new brownstone.
"We encourage graduates to get involved in the alumni chapter so sisters can have a chance to give back," Hilty said.
National Council Representative Kathleen Headington summed up students' and alumnae's feelings when she said she hoped the brownstone would provide a place of community for current and future students. It is "more than a building, it is a home," she said.

The Patriot-News editorial board has issued a stinging condemnation of the moral and ethical responsibility of Penn State officials, including the university's legendary head football coach, Joe Paterno. How are you thinking through this mess and the moral and ethical responsibilities of Paterno about these alleged crimes against children?

I think we are jumping to enormous conclusions here, based on the news reports. It has been reported that an assistant to Paterno witnessed the incident, but did not give details to Paterno. Paterno, in turn and following Penn State procedure, reported the incident to his superiors and directed the assistant to give the details to them. It seems that Paterno had no direct knowledge or specifics of the incident, only that it was "disturbing." From that level of information and in light of the restrictions placed on him by the school human resources guidelines, there is not much more he could have done.

Even if we go only with what has been presented, Mr. Paterno chose to be ignorant. He could have asked what made the incident "disturbing". He did not. He could have become this child's advocate and defender, marching MMcQ to the Spanier's office and telling him, Penn State's HR and administration, "Report this now, or I will, and I will resign." If he had done that, JoePA and Penn State would have set and example of all the virtues he exemplified during his career. He did not. He chose ignorance, and so chose Sandusky and football and child abuse.

Joe Pa is about moral responsibility, not legal culpability. He wants to be measured by the former & now he is. I don't think he's deliberately lying to us; he's lying to himself. He's an old man a decade late for retirement. A lot of people around Happy Valley have been saying this for years. They were right.

I put the Penn State officials in the same category as the bishops or others in the Catholic Church who, knowledgeable of what was going on, sought to shore up their own interests over those of the alleged victims of the crimes. They've failed at the most basic human level, to protect those unable to protect themselves. Their actions are morally and ethically reprehensible. The law may hold they bear no legal culpability; if so, the law needs to be changed.
What especially sickens me about the Penn State story is that anyone could be so motivated to turn the cheek all in the name of sports and the money it engenders.

I cannot imagine anyone who would hear a story about a child being molested not wanting to ensure that the story was fully investigated by the proper authorities. I am sorry Joe, but telling the school about a potential crime fails the sniff test. Granted, we don't have all the facts about this case, but it appears to me that Paterno looked the other way. Isn't that what got us into this financial mess we're in – people who made decisions that somehow seemed to meet the letter of the law, but not necessarily the spirit? It goes to show you how quickly humans can bury their conscience when we are too invested in a system that serves us too well.

Thank you for posting this. I've seen a great deal of news coverage of the incident, and countless comments minimizing the ethical - above and beyond legal - ramifications of the situation. As an abuse survivor, it was a much-needed balm to see this come up on my feed, and to be reminded of the kindness of strangers.

All I can say is - some people must really like football. And there must be many different realities - because I can only imagine the one where winning football games is in any way important when you let a grown man who works for you molest children.

IRON MOUNTAIN – Council members, staff and residents took time at Monday's meeting to recognize the achievements and years of service that Councilman Ted Corombos has given to the city of Iron Mountain.
A resolution passed by the council noted that Corombos "typified the outstanding attributes of unsung public service and dedication to the city as a city council person for 11 years, four months; mayor for six years, one month; and a Tax Increment Finance Authority member for 17 years, 10 months."
The resolution further stated that Corombos "will always be remembered for his extraordinary efforts to make Iron Mountain a better and safer community in which to live."
During the past year, Corombos was instrumental in getting the city to move forward to refund its 2004 water bonds at a significant savings to the city.
Mayor Bruce Rosen noted that Corombos was instrumental in the economic growth of the city during the 35 years he has served and has been a tremendous asset to Iron Mountain.
While on the TIFA Board, Corombos was involved in investing more than $22 million in economic development for the city of Iron Mountain and this has equated to so much more with the entire south end of town being developed through these efforts, City Manager Jordan Stancina noted.
The concept of TIFA was first presented by Corombos in 1985, while he was serving as major of Iron Mountain. The council at that time gave its approval to establish the TIFA district for the city and that district existed until 2011 with the retirement of TIFA.
The district went from north to south city limits along the U.S. 2 corridor including the Industrial Park and those properties between Carpenter Avenue and Stephenson Avenue.
During the 25 year history of TIFA, the city of Iron Mountain was able to build many Iron Mountain facilities including the renovated city hall building, the new police and fire department facilities and the public works facility – at a cost of more than $5 which resulted no tax increase to Iron Mountain property owners.
Five major infrastructure projects were also created with the help of TIFA funds – new infrastructure from Econo Foods to the east city limits, storm water discharge into Crystal Lake to deal with serious drainage problems, U.S. 2 project from Kent Street to Washington Avenue along with a rebuild by the MDOT, north U.S. 2 corridor along with MDOT from the Chapin Pit to the north city limits, and south U.S. 2 corridor with a MDOT rebuild from Washington Avenue south to Michigan Avenue.
Smaller project ranging from $100,000 to $500,000 were also undertaken by TIFA to install many blocks of sidewalk in the downtown area, rebuild and pave streets and install infrastructure, repave city-owned parking lots, and purchasing and razing buildings to install parking lots.
"His impact on the community will be with us for as long as Iron Mountain is here," Rosen added.
Corombos expressed his pleasure with working with the council and city staff over the years noting he never had any intention of coming back on the council again.
"But events happened and brought about this involvement again. Without coming back on, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to work with these council members. But it's been 35 years and that's a long time. It's been great working with everyone for the city."
In honor of Corombos and his service, the council took action at Monday's meeting to rename Colombus Drive, which goes through City Park in Iron Mountain. It will be renamed Ted Corombos road or way.
Rosen said that this was an important action to take so that Corombos' legacy to the city would always be remembered.
Corombos came back to city politics in 2008 after two council members were recalled. He was elected to fill one of the unexpired terms and then was re-elected to the Ward 2 seat in 2008.
Corombos is not running for re-election on Nov. 5 for his seat on the council.
A short reception followed Monday's meeting giving people a chance to talk to Corombos and thank him for his service.

Our modern transmission grid transports bulk power over long distances and across many provincial boundaries, but ever-increasing energy demands are significantly transforming it. Worldwide, many catalysts are driving this transformation, including emerging supply- and demand-side technologies, cyber security concerns, and aging infrastructures, to name just a few. As the grid transforms and more grid-connected renewable resources complicate reliability, it will be increasingly difficult to meet its future needs with today's technologies.
Therefore, global Smart Grid initiatives have become a major driving force towards building a new and efficient transmission infrastructure, improving the operating efficiency of the existing infrastructure, and deploying advanced technologies. This will enhance the capacity, safety, reliability, security, efficiency, and economic operation of the interconnected power systems to meet the ever-changing and sophisticated needs of consumers in the 21st Century.
This paper represents collective input from the industry regarding the vision of a smarter transmission grid, challenges faced in realizing the vision, and technologies that can help in realizing the vision. The paper presents not only a vision of a future smarter transmission grid but also identifies specific applications that—when collectively implemented by owners and operators—will help achieve the vision.

Governor signs Finch land classification
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo approved a state land classification package for 42,000 acres of Forest Preserve in the central Adirondacks Thursday.
The classification package involves 22,000 acres of former Finch, Pruyn and Co. timberlands the state bought from The Nature Conservancy: the Essex Chain Lakes tract, home to series of inter-connected lakes and ponds; the Indian River tract, site of a key takeout point that will open up a 12-mile stretch of the Hudson River to recreational paddling; and the OK Slip Falls tract, which boasts one of the state's highest waterfalls. The package also includes another 20,000 acres of adjacent Forest Preserve lands.
The state Adirondack Park Agency board voted unanimously to recommendation the classifications to Cuomo on Dec. 13. At the time, APA board members heralded their decision as a compromise. Local governments had wanted more motorized access to the Essex lakes on old logging roads, and environmental groups were not happy about a snowmobile trail that ended up as part of the plan. For the most part, however, both sides said it was acceptable.
"The addition of thousands of acres of land to the state Forest Preserve is a major step in both protecting and preserving the Adirondack Park for future generations," Cuomo said in a press release. "At the same time, this plan enhances the state's efforts to attract more visitors to the Adirondacks and grow the region's tourism industry and communities. Today's announcement marks a momentous occasion for New York's history and landscape."
The agency's plan would create a new 23,494-acre Hudson Gorge Wilderness Area, a 6,955-acre Essex Chain Lakes Primitive Area, a 2,798-acre Pine Lake Primitive Area and two smaller primitive areas. It would also add 7,000 acres to the existing Blue Mountain Wild Forest and 1,000 acres to the Vanderwhacker Mountain Wild Forest.
One of the plan's key recommendations calls for a snowmobile trail on a wild forest corridor through the heart of the property, primarily on old logging roads, linking Indian Lake to Newcomb and Minerva. Making the trail happen will take changes in both APA and state Department of Environmental Conservation regulations, as well as construction of a new bridge over the Cedar River.
The plan would also allow existing roads on the Essex Chain tract to be used for mountain biking.
The lands are part of 69,000 acres that Cuomo agreed to buy from The Nature Conservancy in the summer 2012 for the Adirondack Forest Preserve. The lands are slated to be purchased over five years. Once complete, the acquisition of the former Finch lands will be the largest addition to the Forest Preserve in 118 years.

Hi everyone
Thinking about this, it ain't easy...
However there are a couple of songs I can almost hear Macca sing..
Don't Let it Bring You Down by Neil Young (maybe NY could do Macca's song of the same title from London Town, haha);
and Something so Right by Paul Simon. A bit random? yeah, but hey why not?
Oh, and Where are We Now by Bowie...great song, and one where Paul's careworn voice may well excel

After wandering down many different paths in my life, I feel like I have finally discovered who I am. I love my life, and I know I want to help better animals, people, the environment, myself, and the world! All life is sacred and must be appreciated and cherrished. I am working towards being a vegan, (currently pescetarian) but it's really difficult when you're still in the house with family. They are finally starting to support me, but it's still in progress. My goal in life is to simplifiy my wants and needs, and to expirience as much as I can throughout my life. I hope one day to become a wilderness therapist and to spend my time outdoors.

Risk of venous thromboembolism in oral contraceptive users varies according to progestin type

Implication for practice and research
■ Combined oral contraceptives (OCs) increase the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE).
■ The risk of VTE in users of OCs containing desogestrel, gestodene, cyproterone and drospirenone is around twice that of levonorgestrel OCs users.
■ Differences in VTE risk should be taken into consideration when prescribing OCs.
Oral contraceptives first introduced in the 1960s contained high doses of estrogen and progestin. These were associated with increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD), including VTE, and high estrogen dose was thought to be responsible.1 In subsequent years, OCs containing lower estrogen doses and different progestins …
