In the old days, time was cheap and materials were expensive; things were often well made and exquisitely decorated. Times have changed and now highly decorated items are now either mass produced or seriously expensive but you can still hand make quality goods at a realistic price, and that is what I do.
Everything I make and sell has the same values; it must look right both in detail and in style, it must feel right when you pick it up and hold it and it must work well when you use it; I only sell items I am prepared to own and use myself.
Tod's Stuff is handmade, so every piece is unique; you will never see another piece quite like it – ever.
I hold a stock of ready made pieces so if you are interested in a particular type of object please contact me and I can send pictures over of available pieces. Alternatively, I also undertake commissions. Use these pages as a reference of the sort of work I produce as both stock and commissions.
Current waiting time for sword scabbards: around 4-8 weeks.

At the Foot of Fuji: Nissan ZEOD RC Begins Ascent
OYAMA-CHO, Japan – Race fans at the World Endurance Championship (WEC) at Fuji Speedway were treated to a second zero-emission on demand (ZEOD) drive by Nissan ZEOD RC on Saturday. It was another step in a climb towards Le Mans next year.
In coming to Japan for its public and track debuts, ZEOD has gone from the drawing board to the paddock in only seven months, an ascent that will see the car ultimately make a full-electric lap at the legendary Circuit de la Sarthe at speeds over 300 kph.
The Fuji runs so far have been low-speed, allowing former GT1 Champion Michael Krumm to develop a better feel for its cutting-edge technology. Nissan Executive Vice President Andy Palmer sat down at Fuji with the German driver and asked about ZEOD's handling and performance.
EVP Andy Palmer: You had the great pleasure to drive the car in its debut. What was it like?
Michael Krumm: It was really the first time, not only for the shape of the car but the technology that's inside, and that was quite exciting. We had a short run with very little power, so I was quite nervous to be honest. It sounds crazy in half a straight.
Palmer: You weren't as nervous as everyone here wondering if you would get down the straight.
Krumm: The team told me yesterday about the gears, and I said "Really? I'm not really confident." There's an electric motor and a race gearbox, and I asked how is that (technology) going to work together – that's quite complicated technology already.
They said, "Don't worry, try it," and I did and it was quite exciting. You have the electric motor coming, you have a lot of torque, and then you shift and it's like a big bang, but you still have the same torque. It's not like a normal engine. It keeps going.
Palmer: It's very clever technology because you've got a doctored gearbox that somehow you get the synchronization through the electric motor, which is really quite innovative.
Krumm: Absolutely, and it was the first time today that I experienced even on such a short run a world-first gearbox like this. It's highly exciting to drive it, and I cant wait until it's fully developed.
Palmer: I couldn't help but notice there were no wing mirrors on the car.
Krumm: I noticed, too. When you're in a race car, or any car, really, the first thing you should do is check the mirrors.
Palmer: Really, I never knew a race driver who ever looked behind. They just focus on what's ahead.
Krumm: Actually, they do. When you follow a car, they pretend not to, but the head always moves slightly. They just choose to ignore seeing you.
I said the same thing – "Where are the mirrors?" But they're going to use a rear-camera wide angle, which gives us actually a much better view in the end than mirrors. We can see a lot in the back and no blockages.
Palmer: And no drag, of course.
Krumm: This is key to it, because we want to do everything as efficiently as we can. At Le Mans you want to be in the straight as fast as you can.
Palmer: Tell me about the handling, as the car obviously looks unusual with the narrow front tires. How does it feel and compare with a conventional vehicle?
Krumm: Today when I drove down the straight I was zigzagging and doing turns. I did not do this just for the cameras. I did it because I wanted to feel how that is, and that type of car feels extremely responsive in the front.
You turn the steering and immediately the car responds. At first this is quite intimidating, as you know that when a car responds too quickly, you're kind of afraid that the rear will spin around and overtake you. But, because of clever weight design with all the weight in the rear, it's actually very stable. So it actually turns, but the rear is there, and this is something as a driver you have to un-learn to be afraid of.

So... here we go. We will take each blending mode and show what it will do to this photo on top of itself, this photo on top of the gray paper, and the gray paper on top of the patterned paper. If you want to really get the feel of the way these work, open a photo and a couple of sheets of paper and follow along!
This is obviously... well... normal. :) No formal explanation needed here.
Compares the color of the top and bottom layers and blends the pixels where the top layer is darker than the bottom.
I usually use this one in addition to other blend modes. I'm not really excited about what it does by itself to photos, but as you can see in this example... it can do some cool stuff to papers sometimes!
This is a great one too! Can do some cool things to photos, but I think even more so with papers. It can be waaaaay to dark and harsh on the wrong photo, but get the right photo and it can do WONDERS... especially with a SCREEN layer underneath!
This is a good one too. It can be used over a MULTIPLY or COLOR BURN layer to give it some harshness. Playing with the opacity on this one is almost always key. It doesn't usually do anything great for papers, though. It makes them a bit too harsh in my opinion.
Ditto to what I said on Color Dodge.
This one is what I use when Overlay is just a bit too much. Again... it is sometimes all I do to a photo.
This one really pumps up your photo. Sometimes I use this one by itself if I want a really edgy, dramatic effect, but I usually have to play with the opacity a bit.
I don't use this one as much, but there are some photos that it works beautifully on.
This blending mode is very cool, however, I've yet to use it on a layout. But it is GREAT at getting a very "pop art" effect. I'm determined to use this one on a layout at some point.
With the photo on photo here, I actually had to set the top layer at 80% opacity to even see the photo... it made it just a black image. but the photo on paper and paper on paper, you can see the effect it gives.
Didn't do us much good on the photo on photo or photo on paper, but the paper on paper... it gave us a totally different (and really pretty) peice of patterned paper. :)
Ditto to what I said about Hue and Saturation.
This one is cool too. As you can see with the photo on paper, it turned our photo the same color tone as the bottom layer... as well as with our paper on paper.

Canadian men's volleyball team roster finalized for Pan Am Games
OTTAWA – With its top players currently playing overseas in professional leagues, Canada will field its Full-time Training Centre squad for the men's volleyball tournament at the Pan Am Games which gets underway next week in Guadalajara, Mexico.
At the Pan Am Games tournament, Canada is in Group B with Brazil, the U.S., and Puerto Rico. The Group A teams are Cuba, Argentina, Mexico and Venezuela.
The men's tournament takes place in the second week of the Games. Canada opens round robin play October 24 against Brazil, then faces the U.S., October 25 and Puerto Rico October 26. The top team in each group gets a bye to the semifinals on October 28 while the second and third place countries cross over for the quarterfinals on October 27. The medal matches are October 29.
''We haven't set any goals in terms of performance for these Games,'' said Volleyball Canada's high performance director Julien Boucher. ''This is going to be a great experience for our players. The Pan Ams are always a very strong tournament and this is one of the biggest sports gatherings outside the Olympic Games.''
There are four Albertans on the team: Ciaran McGovern from Grande Prairie, Spencer Leiske of Lacombe, Blair Bann (on photo) of Edmonton and Tanner Nault of Sherwood Park. Three players are from Ontario: Tyler Santoni of Kingston, Sander Ratsep of London, Reid Halpenny of Grand Bend.
The other team members are Jacob Kilpatrick of St. John, N.B., Kevin Miller of Russell, MB, Max Burt of Gander, N.L., Devon Parkinson of Victoria and Louis-Pierre Mainville of Notre-Dame-de-l'Ile-Perrot, Que.
Mainville, a member of the national team, could potentially play his first matches since undergoing knee surgery this past spring. Boucher said he would be limited to the back court for services and defence.
At the last Pan American Games in 2007, Brazil won the gold medal, the U.S., was second and Cuba third. Canada placed seventh. Canada's last Pan Am Games medal in men's volleyball was a bronze at the 1999 Games in Winnipeg.
Canadian men's volleyball team roster for the Pan American Games October 15-29 in Guadalajara, Mexico:
Players: Ciaran McGovern, Grande Prairie, Alta.; Spencer Leiske, Lacombe, Alta.; Tyler Santoni, Kingston, Ont.; Sander Ratsep, London, Ont.; Jacob Kilpatrick, St. John, N.B.; Blair Bann, Edmonton, Alta; Max Burt, Gander, N.L.; Devon Parkinson, Victoria, BC; Reid Halpenny, Grand Bend, Ont.; Kevin Miller, Russell, MB, Tanner Nault, Sherwood Park, Alta.; Louis-Pierre Mainville, Notre-Dame-de-l'Ile-Perrot, Que.
Head coach: Vincent Pichette
Team Manager: Julien Boucher
Assistant Coach: Denis Gaboury
Therapist: Mathieu Séguin
Statistician: Christopher Galbraith

"Strong and bitter words indicate a weak cause" ~Victor Hugo
Yeah the lemmings who ride the hate train can all high five eachother now and find a new focal point for hating a game that wasnt made in the exact image they had hoped for.
im sure every single one of them would have been back with money in hand for the D3 expansion, with or without this guy running the show.
i was never hanging on the idea that D2 was going to be compley copied in every way and dumped into a modern looking world, so i didnt go through the life changing event of having a game turn out diffrent than i had hoped. Yeah it wasnt very good at launch for endgame play though, thats been fixed however so im playing it a lot more, even while playing POE (aside from its passive tree which isnt as complicated as it looks, and its look, the game isnt that good)

Jay Wilson was just a front man.. I wish people would realise this. Others were, and still are, pulling the strings. Stop hating on a guy who took a decent job and saw it through... and helped make the company he worked for millions upon millions in cash. There was no tirckery involved, full info was displayed everywhere and a demo was in from the start. Everyone who played D3 got their money's worth compared to most of todays standards. Many consumers 'made' money from it in less than a week.
He is the man in charge of what happened. Don't get me wrong, he didn't do ALL the bad choices on his own, there are others who likely pushed it though ultimately he was the one that decided on the direction of the game and made it the way it was.

This is unfortunately true, that Skilling quit didnt fix anything either

It won't, because Jay Wilson designed the game so terribly, that there is no way to recover. They would have to start from the ground up to fix Diablo3 and we all know that isn't going to happen.
I'm not going to sit here and point all the fingers at Jay Wilson, but when a ship hits an iceburg you blame the captain. There is plenty of proof showing this guys arrogance and stupidity and his blatent disregard of the fanbases criticism. It pains me to think that he is working on another title to be released by Blizzard. Nothing good will come of hiring this guy for anything.

We had an awesome day. The tour started punctually. We got to visit all the places that were advertised. The guide knew very well everything and helped us with other things we needed and wanted to visit. We had a great lunch. So far the best we have had. Would totally recommend again.
I loved everything about the tour. Mehmet was an great guide, knowledgeable about history and about the small details of the city. The tour took us all around the area and we got to see how beautiful the city is and how rich it is in history and culture. I recommend it!
I was in Istanbul from 24 till 27 August '016 with my wife and three children. the guide mr. Murat Aksu was from 8.30 at our hotel, was very nice with a fluent and precise english. Murat had a very good knowledge about Istanbul and his history, also knew some hidden places for parking, breakfast, lunch and what's most important knew best place for baklava. i highly recommend this guide to ever one, especially if you are with children. thank you Mr. Murat,
we were taken to all the points of interest by our guide - the most important being it was at our pace . We were able to linger at places of of interest and bypass whatever we did not like to spend time on. The guide had good knowledge of the history of the monuments shown .

Ship Weight:0.08 Servings:80 Dosage:15 Drop(s) Aquagen - Essential Oxygen Supplement - 2 oz. Aquagen Essential- The Daily Living Oxygen Supplement -- No matter your age! It nourishes cells, enhances alertness and increases energy and stamina! What makes Aquagen's oxygen supplement products unique? What separates Aquagen's oxygen products from other products that claim to be liquid oxygen based products?Aquagen's proprietary Oxygen Supplement Products are: All Natural pH Balanced Non-Toxic Convenient and Easy to Use Aquagen's proprietary Oxygen Supplement Products: Help your body use vitamins, minerals and other nutrients more completely Enhance your body's immune system Act as a powerful bactericide, viricide and fungicide in your bodies Improve your energy, endurance, vitality and alertness Are you Oxygen Deficient?Oxygen is the source of life energy to all cells in the body. Decreased oxygen in the environment, polluted air, poor food choices, lack of exercise, stress, and shallow breathing are among factors that contribute to a chronic lack of oxygen in our cells. When our body is oxygen deficient, vital nutrients from food and nutritional supplements cannot be metabolized effectively, and toxins and pollutants cannot be properly oxidized and eliminated. Who benefits from oxygen? The answer is everyone…that is interested in health and well being! "There is not as much oxygen in our environment today as there was hundreds of years ago. At one time the oxygen level was at 38%, now it is at 21%, and in some cities, even as low as 18%. Thus in our present environment, we have only about half the oxygen that our bodies were designed to run on in order to be in good health". "Without adequate oxygen, our body fluids and blood can become dirty and toxic. Viruses, fungus, parasites, and unfriendly germs thrive in an environment that is low in oxygen, high in carbon dioxide, and high in acid or a low pH factor". World Wide Health Let's take a look at who benefits from supplemental oxygen…those who experience: Memory loss Irrational behavior Irritability Poor Digestion Muscle aches & pains Lung problems Dizziness Depression Body weakness Disease Circulation problems Lack of Acid stomach Energy Increased bacteria, germs viruses Bronchial and breathing problems Fatigue And the list goes on… Aquagen ScienceAquagen™ LLC manufactures the world's premier oxygen supplement backed by science. Aquagen™ is a unique, proprietary formula that bonds oxygen in a natural solution of distilled water and trace minerals. The highly concentrated oxygen is released into the bloodstream through the digestive system where it is distributed throughout the body by red blood cells. What most people do not understand is that oxygen is critical to everyone's health-regardless of age, race, culture or gender. Without oxygen, our body's cells cannot function properly. Dietary nutrients require oxygen to convert their potential energy into usable energy. Oxygen eliminates bacteria in our bodies, it helps us resist illness, it eliminates toxins and it helps our body's immune systems function at their highest levels. Our Company has completed several clinical studies that have established that the Aquagen™ product when taken orally, dramatically increases the partial pressure of oxygen in the arterial blood (see section titled Clinical Studies). Athletes and AquagenIt can be assumed that if you are an athlete, you probably take better care of yourself than most people. Athletes generally tend to eat healthier, exercise more often and are likely to understand the benefits of preventive medicine (i.e. proper screenings, annual checkups, etc.). So why is getting extra oxygen important to me? As our exercise intensity increases, our oxygen consumption does as well. However, there is a point at which exercise intensity will continue to increase without the associated rise in oxygen consumption. This point, as we all learned in our sports medicine or biology classes is known as our VO2 Max. Understanding that there are many factors combined to determine a specific person's V02 max, it is agreed upon in the sports medicine community that a major limiting factor to athletic endurance and performance is the limited oxygen supply. When your body lacks the oxygen it needs, performance is reduced. During exercise, blood vessels in muscles dilate (increase in size) and blood flow is increased in order to supply as much oxygen to the muscle cells as possible. However, when muscular exertion is particularly strenuous, oxygen cannot be supplied to the muscle fibers fast enough. This results in an "oxygen debt" that can be directly related to the buildup of the metabolic waste product muscle contraction known as lactic acid. This build up is an indication that your body needs more oxygen; signs of this include increased (rapid) breathing, muscle cramping, muscle spasms and pain. Aquagen™ is an oxygen supplement that works by delivering oxygen to your body that can enhance your exercise performance, quicken the muscle recovery cycle and allow optimal muscle growth. Athletes of any age or ability can benefit from Aquagen™. Whether you are looking for help with endurance, muscle soreness, altitude sickness, or just need that extra boost of energy during your workout, we encourage you to give this incredible oxygen supplement a try.

Mike McCandless reported to the Emery County Municipal Building Authority of the circumstance surrounding the incubator building near Huntington. He has received an inquiry from a business concerning the purchase of the property. The county has been advertising the property for sale.
This interested party is also researching the possibility of doing their project through the Emery County Economic Development Council. Their intent may be to raze the building and acquire the property for construction of their own structure.
McCandless has requested a letter of intent from this interested party. He was also informed about another interested party. He will investigate and request a letter of intent from that party also. McCandless will follow up with both parties and report to the MBA.
In other business conducted by the MBA, a change order concerning the Green River Senior Center was ratified. They heard updates concerning the construction of the Childrens Justice Center, the airport project and the food bank.
The Childrens Justice Center is moving along with the walls being up and the roof going on. Power has been installed, and other utilities will be in soon. As for the airport project, the buildings will arrive during the week of Nov. 10. The power and water lines are going in, and the footers for the buildings are poured. The food bank project has been tabled for the time being, due to lack of funding. Several roof problems will be addressed before winter.
For the Huntington Senior Center kitchen project, the cost estimates came in at nearly $225,000. More research will be done to determine of the architect's plans are too elaborate.

During the waning days of June six Emery High School students; Keera Allred, Tamra Luke, Kassie Allred, Kennedy Kemple, Joel Jensen and Brady Jensen and two chaperons; myself and my son-in-law, Steve Weber, were given the unique opportunity to fully participate for four days in the University of Utah's eight week Archaeology Field School at the Wilcox Ranch in Range Creek Canyon. This opportunity was part of a pilot program sponsored jointly by the Emery County Economic Development Council, Emery County, and the Emery County School District designed to expose the young people of Emery County to a broad spectrum of vocational opportunities through a series of summer camps. Aside from the archaeology camp this year's program gave additional students the opportunity to participate in four other camps exposing them to such diverse subjects as theatre, paleontology, criminal investigation, and entrepreneurship as well as a special dino-day camp for younger students.
The university's archeology field school is an intensive eight-week field course designed to teach basic archaeological field methods to undergraduate college students from all over the country who are pursuing professional careers in archaeology. Under the direction of Dr. Duncan Metcalfe (Associate Professor of Anthropology and Curator of Archaeology, Utah Museum of Natural History), our students were given the opportunity to fully participate with 12 college students in receiving training in a variety of archaeological field techniques including survey, mapping, soil identification, aspects of paleo-ecological research, as well as modern archaeological field and lab techniques in an ongoing field research program.
Our adventure began at 8:30 in the morning on June 20 when we loaded our gear into three waiting vehicles parked in the Huntington Stake Center parking lot and began the three hour drive to Range Creek. The drivers, Sheriff Lamar Guymon, Ray Petersen, and Steve Weber made the trip pass quickly by keeping the conversation going and in about an hour and a half we found ourselves at the abandoned Wild Horse Canyon mine facility. Here we took time to stretch our legs and were given an interesting and informative 20 minute presentation by Petersen, Administrator of Emery County Public Lands Department, on the geology and the recent history of the area afterwhich we loaded back into our transportation and continued our journey through Wild Horse Canyon and up the narrow, steeply inclined road which crosses the pass at the 8,700 foot level and descends again to the main gate of Range Creek where we were met by a pair of park rangers who unlocked the gate and escorted us to the ranch. Yes, the entry gates are locked at all times and if you enter via motorized vehicle you must be escorted at all timesand obtain a permit. Numerous prehistory sites containing Indian writings, granaries, and pit houses dot the road between the front gate and the ranch complex property and can be seen from the road by the observant hiker.
We arrived at the Wilcox ranch complex at lunch time and were greeted by Dr. Metcalfe (who prefers to be addressed as Duncan rather than Dr. Metcalfe) and his staff who made us feel at home and invited us to join them for lunch. After lunch, we unloaded and staged our gear in the camping area (Duncan, his staff, and the college students are housed in tents in a beautiful, park like setting adjacent to the main ranch buildings) and joined them at the main building for what would be the pattern of our daily activity for the remainder of our stay; a short lecture on some aspect of archaeology, a description of the day's activities, and the division into groups after which we picked up our water and field gear and headed out into the "field" to complete the day's assignments. Once in the field we were treated by the instructors just like one of the undergraduates fully participating in using the equipment, making measurements, surveying sites, and recording the results.
The teaching syllabus for the week we were there mainly involved historic archaeology (archaeology of the site since contact by Europeans). This involved using GPS equipment and technology to map the ranch complex, collecting and documenting historic artifacts, and using the "total station" device (a device similar to a GPS device but which is capable of recording locations in three dimensions and is mainly used to produce a topographic map of a site) to document the features of "historic" Range Creek in preparation for preservation of the complex. Realizing this wasn't the Indiana Jones type daring-do archaeology that we were anticipating Duncan, his staff and the undergrads extended themselves to insure we had the opportunity to experience "pre-historic" archaeology "up close and personal". Each evening, after supper and clean-up, members of the U's team arranged for Emery students to hike into or, in some cases, up to pre-historic sites around the area where we were allowed unprecedented access, at times coming within feet if not inches, of Indian writings, granaries and artifacts.
Waldo Wilcox, whose family owned the ranch for decades, and recently sold it to the Division of Wildlife Resources, came back to the ranch to meet the campers and teach them the history of the ranch.
After four days immersed in archaeology and field work we struck camp, bid tearful goodbyes to our new colleagues, loaded up our gear and returned to civilization with its comfortable beds, showers, and air conditioning, an adventure behind us that we will all remember the rest of our lives. All of us who participated in this project deeply appreciate the hospitality of the University, the students, and Dr. Metcalfe and his staff in allowing the students of Emery this unprecedented access to their world.

I've had some excellent beers made with hot peppers, but the ones made with peppercorns that I've tried are either too weak in pepper flavor, have a mediocre beer base or both. Sgt. Pepper is the first one I've had where the intense pepper flavor is complemented by a fine beer — in this case, a farmhouse ale.
The pepper was immediately noticeable upon popping the cap off the bottle — exactly like the smell of freshly cracked black pepper from a grinder. A hint of light lemon and pale malts also came through.
The ale poured a light orange color with a white head that fizzed away rather quickly — not a surprise when using larger-than-normal amounts of spice.
Slightly sweet apricot and peach flavors and spicy Belgian yeast notes hit the taste buds at the first sip, followed by an almost biting pepperiness that stopped just short of being hot. The pepper character seemed to increase upon several more sips, until I got used to it and it became one with the beer.
The ale was nicely carbonated and had a soft mouthfeel without being creamy. There also is rye malt used in the 6 percent ABV beer, which added to the overall spiciness. I can think of all kinds of food pairings with this beer, including New England clam chowder and Belgian waterzooi (chicken stew).
The strong pepper may turn off those looking for a classic farmhouse ale, but Cambridge set out to make such a combination and succeeded on all fronts. It won a gold medal at the 2012 World Beer Cup.
As is typical with many breweries, Cambridge's website does not mention what states it is distributed in (why this is, I don't know — it seems a rather basic and important bit of information). It does have a ZIP code Beer Finder link through a third party at http://greatbrewers.com/beer-finder. I found references to it being sold from New York to Oregon with points in between.
I sampled my bottle on New Year's Eve, courtesy of a neighbor who picked it up on a trip to the Eastern seaboard. Though I found online mention of it being purchased in the past month, Cambridge says a new batch is coming out in spring. It is definitely a beer to keep in mind.
Many beers are available only regionally. Check the brewer's website, which often contains information on product availability by mail. Contact Todd Haefer at email@example.com.

What, No one shocked that I am for investigations against the Democrats that may have broken the law?
Personally I think that any investigation should focus on al of the K Street firms and their relationships to earmarks. That corruption runs deep and is very non-partisan.
Jeff Goodwin
I am all for investigations if it is thought you broke the law. It should not matter whether your a Democrat or Republican or more importantly if your a President, Vice President or your just a lowly Senator or Representative.
I agree, we could really clean things up in DC and start making them accountable for their actions.
I would also like to see an investigation of Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and Franklin Raines since it is the home mortgage fiasco that really got the whole downward spiral started.

American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations
IntroductionAmerican Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO), a federation of autonomous labor unions in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Panama, and U.S. dependencies, formed in 1955 by the merger of the American Federation of Labor (AFL) and the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO). As of 2010, the AFL-CIO included 58 national and international unions that had a U.S. membership of 11.5 million. Heavily involved in politics, the AFL-CIO's primary function is to lobby on behalf of organized labor and mediate disputes between its member unions. The AFL-CIO has campaigned actively against the so-called right-to-work laws, which outlawed union shops (see closed shop), has worked to repeal the Taft-Hartley Labor Act, and has fought other legislation deemed inimical to organized labor's interests.
The organization has five operating levels. Ultimate authority is vested in those attending its biennial convention, but between conventions the organization is run by an executive council, which is composed of the executive officers (president, secretary-treasurer, and executive vice president) and 51 vice presidents. Executive officers handle the day-to-day operations of the organization, and they are advised by a general board consisting of the executive council members, a chief officer of each affiliated union and of each programmatic department within the AFL-CIO, and four regional representatives from the 51 state federations. In addition to these levels of authority, the AFL-CIO carried over autonomous departments from the AFL (such as the Building Trades Dept.) and added an Industrial Union Dept. to handle the problems of the former CIO unions. The union's 13 programmatic departments handle the work of the federation, including labor organizing, political education, legislation, civil rights, and worker safety and health.

National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM)
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and is dedicated to increasing awareness of breast cancer issues, especially the importance of early detection. It works through a nationwide education campaign aimed at the general public, state and federal governments, healthcare professionals, employers, and women of all ages and ethnic groups.
The first NBCAM program took place in October 1985 as a week-long event to fill the information void in public communication about breast cancer. The two founding members of the Board of Sponsors, the American Academy of Family Physicians and Cancer Care, Inc., distributed brochures, spoke to news reporters, and testified before a U.S. Congressional committee about the crucial need for widespread access to mammography. Former First Lady Betty Ford, a breast cancer survivor and one of the first public figures to speak out about the disease, joined her daughter Susan Ford Bales in a televised emotional appeal to call attention to the importance of screening. Soon after, other public figures, industry executives, community leaders, members of the media, nonprofit organizations, and many individual women further galvanized national public interest.
Today, the Board of Sponsors is composed of 19 national public service organizations, professional medical associations, and government agencies working in partnership to raise awareness and provide access to screening services. The program depends on the efforts of NBCAM Program Leaders to reach women where they live, work, play and worship. One of the ways in which you can assure your future health is to schedule regular mammograms and monthly self-exams for early detection. We can stamp out many forms of breast cancer by taking responsibility for our health and arranging for regular exams.
More than 200,000 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year and more than 40,000 will die from the disease. However, early detection greatly increases your chances of survival. National mortality rates declined by 2.3 percent annually between 1990 and 2000 thanks to early detection and better treatment.
Women in their 20s and 30s should have a clinical breast exam performed by a health care professional every three years and should perform a breast self-exam once a month to check for physical changes. Make it a habit. Monthly exams will allow you to become familiar with your breasts and learn what feels normal. Annual mammograms are generally not recommended until age 40, but a baseline mammogram may be helpful for women 35 years and older. This is especially true if you have a family history of breast cancer or a personal history of benign breast lumps.

Still life, is one of 18 near-identically formatted oil on paper studies produced by Krasner in 1938.[1] At the time, Krasner was a student enrolled at the Hans Hofmann School of Fine Arts, and these oil studies—if taken as a distinct developmental series—reveal her absorption and experimentation with the aesthetic theories of Analytical Cubism as espoused by Hofmann, an influential teacher and early exponent of Abstract Expressionism.
Hofmann set for his students a routine of life drawing in charcoal during morning sessions and still life studies in colour for the afternoon. Still life was produced during one such afternoon session, with Krasner testing an application of Hofmann's 'push/pull' theory by deliberately contrasting warm and cool colours against one another in order to model space in the third dimension. Whilst various objects including a table lamp, glass, bottle and fruit, can be recognised in a number of the 18 compositions, Still life has been almost completely abstracted.
The scene in this drawing is punctuated with white areas of its paper, in a deliberate breaking apart of the objects and a reversal of the 'empty' ground as modelled 'positive' space. Krasner is also experimenting with the sculpting of space through colour, removing the outline of all forms to enable the often opposing coloured fragments (orange against blue, yellow against purple and red against green) to shift and move across the composition free of prescribed boundaries. The diagonal armature that drops from the upper left to centre, and the orange and green diagonals of the lower corners (that outline the barely recognisable tabletop), are among the very few guiding lines that remain, forming a skeletal framework around which the coloured patches are assembled.
The composition is signed and dated in pencil in the lower left hand corner, 'Lee Krasner '38'. As noted by Ellen G. Landau in her catalogue raisonné of Krasner's work, this is a retrospective attribution as the artist was identifying herself as 'Lenore Krassner' during her student period.[2] Krasner went through several early name adjustments that appear indicative of a personal grappling with her identity and self-verification.
