The present invention generally relates to display means and more particularly relates to improved decorative three dimensional sculptural display means, adaptable to permanent montages and other forms of treatment, and to kits and methods for fabricating the same.
There are many types of three dimensional sculptures and other decorative three dimensional representations, utilizing various types of media. However, most such media require a substantial degree of artistic skill, acquired by long practice, in order to work them to a form which will produce results which are worthy of decorative display.
Moreover, many of such media are expensive to use, and the equipment for utilizing the same are also complicated, messy and difficult to manipulate. Often, the amateur has no proper room in which to carry out such artistic work nor proper instructions or relevant techniques.
Consequently, although many persons at one time or another attempt such media of expression, few succeed. Nevertheless, there remains a well recognized human need for individual artistic expression and approval by others. This need is largely unsatisfied in most persons, because of lack of time, guidance, training, insight and selection of proper medium of expression.
Moreover, there are in many instances, real needs for decorative devices which will effectively, properly and tastefully serve as wall, table top and similar three dimensional decorations, both in the home and in the place of business. Commercially purchased decorations are usually very expensive. Moreover, it is usually very difficult to locate exactly what will satisfy the individual and make the most effective appearance for such purposes.
There is presently also a need for readily available, inexpensive means for effectively displaying the results of photographic endeavors, whether they be largely of the occasion-recording or documentary type or of the artistic rendering type, or both. Thus, photos and photo prints, when kept at all in a systemized manner, usually are merely stored in covered photo albums, or the like, and are quickly forgotten.
Often, only a few selected photos out of a large number are enlarged and of these, perhaps only one or two are mounted for individual display. The rest, many of which may be highly decorative, are put out of sight and mind. Yet they may represent substantial artistic accomplishments.
Means for more effectively and more frequently displaying such photos and the like, especially if simple and inexpensive, would be well received by the millions of camera enthusiasts. Moreover, if such display means could present a mass of carefully selected photos in a manner which could be individualized and which could also result in a highly decorative display effect for wall, desk top or the like, both of the above-described needs, that is, for photo display and decorative creation, would be satisfied.
Moreover, such display means would be even more effective if it could also easily and effectively incorporate other elements such as memorabilia in the form of medals, awards, diplomas, baby shoes, etc. so as to enhance the personal value of the display.
The foregoing needs are satisfied by the improved decorative display assembly of the invention, and the novel kit and method for fabricating the same. The assembly, kit and method are substantially as set forth in the Abstract above. They are equally adaptable for the effective decorative display of all manners and mixtures of display sheets, such as photos, colored cards, screens, etc.
Thus, a kit is provided which preferably includes base support frame members for the display sheets, a plurality of mounting boards upon which to individually mount the display sheets, a plurality of spacers to separate adjacent sheets into a plurality of levels for a three dimensional sculptural effect, and coating means, such as clear liquid plastic coating resin, for permanently coating the finished assembled display sheets. The sculpture could be made of plastic, metal, or the like.
Temporary removable supports and pattern sheets may also be provided to help accurately position the various mounted display sheets and spacers relative to the frame in building up the desired three dimensional assembly.
In accordance with the present novel method, the base frame is assembled, and the individual display sheets are mounted on and sized to the mounting boards, as by cutting or the like, with the indicia-free sides of the sheets attached to the mounting boards.
In the event that certain of the display sheets are in the form of decorative, indicia-bearing colored cards or the like, or translucent or transparent windows for associated light means, etc., those sheets are not attached to mounting boards. In any event, the display sheets, when rigid and self-supporting, are ready for attachment to the frame and to each other.
Attachment to the frame is effected, as by securing, through glue or the like, a number of the display sheets at spaced intervals to the frame, all lying in substantially the same plane, to form a first series of sheets and a first structural level to the assembly.
A number of spacers are then applied, as by adhesive, etc. to marginal portions of the indicia-bearing surfaces of the first display sheets, whereupon the margins of the indicia-free side of a second series of the rigid, self-supporting display sheets are secured, as by adhesive, to the upper surfaces of the spacers in partial overlapping relation to the first series of display sheets to form a second structural level to the assembly.
In order to assure that the proper alignment of components is met, each level of display sheets can be positioned by reference to a separate pattern sheet provided with the kit. Thus, the first pattern sheet shows the proper positioning of the frame, the first series of display sheets and the first series of spacers thereon, while the second pattern sheet shows the proper positioning of the second series of display sheets and second series of spacers thereon and provides means for checking the proper alignment of the previously applied components.
In addition, temporary supports can be temporarily applied between overlapping display sheets in adjacent levels to maintain them in proper spatial alignment while the spacers are being fixedly attached to the display sheets. Thus, level after level of display sheets in free or predetermined form can be easily built up to satisfy the need of individual expression and to provide the most effective, decorative and useful display.
When the assembly is complete, it is then preferable to coat the display sheets, beginning at the first level and working up the levels, with a clear protective settable coating so as to render the assembly permanent. This can be done by evenly applying clear plastic liquid resin to the surfaces of the display sheets, as needed, and allowing the resin to harden after all bubbles are removed from the coated surfaces, as by blowing air gently thereacross.
The finished assembly is then ready for mounting on the wall, furniture top, etc. and provides the desired distinctive decorative three-dimensional sculptured effect. Further features are set forth in the following detailed description and accompanying drawings.

Now, referring more particularly to FIGS. 1 and 2, a first preferred embodiment of the improved, decorative three-dimensional display assembly of the present invention is schematically depicted therein.
Thus, assembly 20 is shown which includes a first flat display sheet 22 of extended surface area bearing indicia in the form of a photo 24 on one side 26 thereof. To the opposite indicia-free side 28 of sheet 22 is affixed as by adhesive, such as glue, a stiff mounting board 30 of paperboard, cardboard, wood, plastic, pasteboard or the like to make sheet 22 self-supporting.
Sheet 22 has been trimmed, as by cutting, to fit exactly the dimensions of board 30. The rear side 32 of board 30 is connected, in accordance with the present method, to a mounting block 34 of wood or the like and of substantial thickness, with which to attach assembly 20 to a wall, etc., while allowing it to project therefrom for a decorative three-dimensional effect.
A second display sheet 36 is attached to first display sheet 22 in partial overlapping relation to enhance the decorative three-dimensional effect of assembly 20. Thus, sheet 36 comprises a photo 38 on the indicia-bearing side 40.
To the indicia-free side 42 of sheet 36 is connected, as by glue, a flat mounting board 44 similar to board 30, and which makes sheet 36 self-supporting, and to the rear side 46 of board 44 is fixedly connected, as by glue or the like, along a margin thereof, a spacer 48, in turn fixedly connected, as by glue, etc., to a margin of photo 24 so that sheet 36 only partially overlaps sheet 22, so that sheets 22 and 36 are generally parallel to each other and so that the major portions of both photo 24 and photo 38 are clearly visible, as shown in FIG. 1, to provide the desired unique three-dimensional sculptured effect.
Accordingly, a decorative display assembly is easily provided. This assembly can be made permanent by coating photos and, desirably, the remainder of sheets 22 and 36, and boards 30 and 44 with clear settable liquid plastic resin and setting the same to a hardened state.
Such plastic resin may be, for example, an acrylic monomeric resin such as methyl methacrylate monomer readily settable in the presence of light, heat or catalysts to clear hard acrylic polymeric resin to provide the assembly with a clear hard professional finish. Other suitable coating resins such as epoxy and/or polyester resins or the like can be used, if desired.
A second preferred embodiment of the novel decorative assembly of the invention is schematically depicted in FIG. 3. Thus, there is shown in front elevation an improved assembly 60 comprising an open topped generally square frame 62 of strips of wood or the like with a backing 64 of wood or the like.
Secured, as by adhesive or the like, to the top of frame 62 at spaced intervals, such as at the corners thereof, as shown in FIG. 3, are a first series of generally flat self-supporting display sheets 66 of extended surface area. Sheets 66 may have mounting board backings 68 to give them the necessary rigidity. Sheets 66 have front faces 70 thereof bearing indicia such as photographs or the like (not shown).
To the front faces 70 of sheets 66 adjacent the margins thereof, are fixedly connected spacers 72, which in turn are fixedly connected to partially overlying sheets 74 forming a second series. Sheets 74 are similar to sheets 66 and are generally parallel thereto, bearing on their front faces 76 suitable indicia such as photos (not shown).
A third series of sheets 78 similar to sheets 66 and 74 can be secured, as by additional spacers 72, in overlapping relation, to sheets 74 in the manner previously described. One of such sheets 78 is shown in FIG. 3.
In such manner three or more structural levels of display sheets can be built up on frame 62 to any desired integrated pattern, with the indicia on the sheets largely visible and the overall effect highly decorative.
A further preferred embodiment of the improved decorative display assembly is depicted schematically in front elevation in FIG. 4. This embodiment utilizes, for example, a combination of photos colored and uncolored, decorative colored cards, grids, screens and lighted panels to provide a unique three-dimensional effect.
Thus, an assembly 90 is shown which comprises a plurality of elongated spaced but interconnected frame members 92 laid out in an irregular free-form somewhat grid-like pattern.
To the upper surfaces of members 92 are fixedly secured at random spaced intervals a first series of display sheets 94, most of which bear photos 96 on their front faces, some of which are colored. Sheets 94 are of extended surface area, flat and self-supporting, with or without backing sheets or the like (not shown).
Others of sheets 94 comprise colored cards 98, some of which are fluorescent, while still others are colored lighted panels 100. Sheets 94 form a first sculptured or architectural level on the three-dimensional assembly 90.
To the margins of certain of sheets 94 are connected in partial overlapping relation a second series of sheets 102 similar to sheets 94, including photos 96, colored cards 98 and lighted panels 100 on their front faces, as well as decorative screens 104, grids 106 and the like. Sheets 102 form a second structural level in assembly 90.
The manner of such connection comprises the fixed attachment, as by adhesive, of spacers 108 on the margins of selected indicia-bearing surfaces of certain sheets 94 and the fixed connection, as by adhesive, of marginal portions of certain sheets 102 to the upper surfaces of spacers 108 so as to only partly overlap sheets 94.
A more or less random pattern can be followed in selecting the sheets 94 to which to attach sheets 102 and in the positioning of photos 96, cards 98, lighted panels 100, screens 104 and grids 106 among each other as sheets 102, as well as sheets 94. Individual discretion can be maximized while accomplishing the desired decorative display purposes easily, simply and permanently.
The finished assembly 90, with or without first overlapping photos 96 with clear plastic for protection, can then be displayed on a suitable stand attached to frame 92 or can be hung from or otherwise attached to a wall, backing member, etc. for maximum effect.
A further embodiment of the novel three-dimensional decorative assembly is schematically depicted in front elevation in FIG. 5. Thus, a configuration suitable for the presentation of a family history in photos and memorabilia is shown for assembly 120.
There is a single large central flat self-supporting display sheet 122 bearing on its face a photo 124 such as a wedding photo, to the margin of which is fixedly connected in partial overlapping relation and by its margin a second similar sheet 126, as through a thick spacer block 128 of wood or the like. Sheet 126 bears a photo 130, such as a baby picture, on its face. Sheet 126 is parallel to and above sheet 122.
This arrangement is continued through a successive series of sheets, generally designated as sheets 132, interconnected in overlapping stepped relation at their margins through spacer blocks 128 to form a spiral helix with sheet 122 as the core.
The photos and memorabilia, such as baby bonnets, baseball awards, swimming medals, baby booties, etc. which form the indicia on the front faces of sheets 132 can provide a coherent progressive depiction of the growth and accomplishments of the family involved, with additional steps in the form of new sheets 132 added, as needed, in response to new family developments.
A fifth preferred embodiment of the novel decorative assembly of the present invention is schematically depicted in front elevation in FIG. 6. Thus, an assembly 140 is shown in the form of a clock with a frame 142 of twelve spokes 144 radiating from a central core 146 and connected to an outer ring 148 to depict the positions of the hours on a clock.
It is at these positions on the top of ring 148 that twelve separate flat self-supporting display sheets 150 of extended surface area are fixedly connected, as by adhesive or the like. Open ring 148 has a plurality of steps 152 which ascend from the 1 o'clock position through the 12 o'clock position so that upper end 154 of ring 148 at 12 o'clock lies well above the beginning 156 of ring 148 which is closer to the 1 o'clock position than is end 154, as shown in FIG. 6.
The result is that each successive sheet 150 around ring 148 beginning with the 2 o'clock positioned sheet 150 is at a higher level than the next preceeding sheet 150 but at a lower level than the next preceeding sheet 150, so that ring 148 is in reality a spiral and provides assembly 140 with stepped sheets 150 for a novel three-dimensional effect.
Each sheet 150 bears on its front face 158 indicia (not shown) such as a separate photo or the like attractively displayed for easy viewing.
An additional array 160 of display sheets 162 bearing indicia (not shown) on their faces 164 and generally similar to sheets 150 can be fixedly connected to the outer margin of the faces 158 of selected sheets 150 via raised spacer blocks 166 which may be, for example, angled or slanted, if desired, as shown in FIG. 7 to angle or slant sheets 162 above sheets 150. Thus a second level of sheets is provided.
In an alternative embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, sheets 150a are connected to ring 148a and are curved, as are spacer blocks 166a and sheets 162a connected thereto in partial overlapping relation, to impart a different decorative effect to assembly 140.
Third, fourth and additional levels of self-supporting sheets bearing photos and similar to sheets 150 and 162 can be built up peripherally around assembly 140 as desired, and as needed for the desired effects.
A sixth embodiment of the improved decorative assembly of the invention is schematically depicted in FIGS. 9 and 10. Thus, an assembly 180 in the form of a geneological family tree is depicted in front elevation, and comprises a plurality of vertically extending spaced frame members 182 interconnected by a cross member 184.
On these members 182 are built up from a central core comprising a display sheet 186 bearing a photo 188 on its face, for example, a marriage photo which may be lighted by lighted support means 190, a plurality of successive levels of display sheets 192. Display sheets 192 are generally flat, self-supporting and of extended surface area and bear photos or other indicia on their faces.
Each level of sheets 192 represents a predetermined geneological reltionship to those depicted in photo 188. The individual sheets 192 are color coded, as by a distinctive colored margin tab 194 (FIG. 10) on each sheet 192, which color code is also displayed on the faces 196 of a pair of lighted color code logs 198 flanking sheet 186 and secured to frame members 182. The successive levels of sheets 192 are built up via spacer blocks 200 in the same manner as previously described for sheet level build ups in the first five embodiments described above.
As new family members are added to the family tree, they can be represented photographically by affixing their photos via new display sheets, etc. in the correct places in assembly 180 and correctly color coding and logging them to provide an up-to-date growing decorative family tree assembly.
A first preferred embodiment of the novel kit of the present invention for fabricating the improved three-dimensional decorative assembly of the present invention, is schematically depicted in FIGS. 11 and 12. Thus, a kit 210 is shown which is disposed in a box 212 and comprises a plurality of mounting boards 214 similar to, for example, boards 30 previously described.
It also includes a plurality of interconnectable frame pieces 216, a plurality of spacer blocks 218 of various lengths but uniform thickness, four separate packages of temporary supports 220 of wood or the like, a roll of four translucent paper patterns 222 depicting the proper layout for a plurality of levels or stages in the construction of a decorative assembly using kit 210, a tube 223 of white glue and a can 224 of clear liquid plastic coating.
The spacer blocks may be, for example, generally as shown in FIG. 12 and thus each may comprise a wood, plastic, carboard or the like core, a layer 228 of contact adhesive on two opposite long sides of block 218 and peelable protective paper strips 230 disposed over the adhesive layers 228.
In utilizing kit 210 in accordance with the method of the present invention, a plurality of, for example, photo prints are first selected for incorporation in the desired assembly and the photo prints are adhered to one face of mounting boards 214, as by glue 222.
The prints are then cut to conform to the size of boards 214 and, if desired, matching edges of the prints and boards are coated with decorative ink or the like.
The pieces 216 are then fitted and glued together to form a frame according to and on top of the block lines 232 in pattern sheet 234 shown in FIG. 13 and the frame is then glued lightly in place to pattern sheet 234. Certain of the photos attached to boards 214 are then selected and glued in place by their boards 213 on the frame in accordance with the positions 236 indicated in sheet 234, and utilizing package number 1 of supports 220 to prop up boards 214 at the proper angle during the glue drying period. This forms a first structure level.
The wood spacer blocks 218 are then affixed on top of the photos in the positions 238 indicated in sheet 234, i.e., at the margins of the photos, as by peeling off paper strips 230 if the blocks are of the construction shown in FIG. 12.
The pattern 222 of FIG. 14, that is, sheet 240 is then substituted for sheet 234 under the frame. The frame is lightly attached to sheet 240, supports 220 from package number 1 are removed and additional photos are glued or otherwise affixed in place on the top of affixed spacer blocks 218 as per the positions 242 shown in sheet 240, supports 220 from package number 2 being used to prop the photos in place until the glue 223 dries. This forms a second structural level. Spacers 218 are then glued or adhesively connected in place on top of the photos of the second structural level, as per the positions 244 shown in sheet 240.
The pattern 222 of FIG. 15, that is, sheet 246, is then substituted for sheet 240 under the frame and the process is continued by gluing or otherwise affixing more photos in their positions 254, to form a fourth structural level using supports 220 from package number 4 to hold them in place until the glue is dry, and then removing supports 220.
It will be understood that in order to assure proper alignment of all components during fabrication of the assembly, one or more keys (not shown) can, if desired, be provided on sheets 240, 246 and 252, for example, phantom images in color, to show the position of one or more components previously positioned on the frame. Alternately, a single sheet with patterns for each desired level in different colors can be employed.
In accordance with the present method, the photos of the four structural levels can then, if desired, be protectively coated utilizing can 224 of clear liquid plastic. The plastic may be acrylic resin or the like, as previously described, settable, as by light, heat, air or the like to a clear hard finish.
The plastic is mixed and then smoothly coated on the photo surfaces, beginning with the lowermost level and working upwardly. Air bubbles are removed, as by gently blowing air across the unset coated surfaces, whereupon the assembly is covered, as by a box, to protect it from dust while the plastic is drying and setting. It is desirable to place the entire assembly on blocks, plastic cups or the like during the coating operation so that excess coating can freely drip therefrom.
It will be understood that any suitable clear coating can be used, if desired, in place of those described above. In any event, after setting of the coating, the finished three-dimensional sculpture is ready to mount on a wall, furniture top, etc., such item uniquely displays photos in a novel attractive permanent individualized manner as a fully distinctive decorative item.
A simplified kit 260 is schematically shown in FIG. 17. Kit 260, like kit 210, is suitable for fabricating the improved decorative assembly of the invention according to the present method.
Kit 260 includes a frame 262 which comprises the sides, and in some instances the bottom, of a box 264, within which are disposed a stack of mounting boards 266 similar to boards 214, a stack of spacer blocks 268 which may be similar to blocks 218 and a can 270 of plastic coating.
Kit 260 is assembled, in accordance with the present method, in the same general manner as described above for kit 210, except that patterns and temporary supports are not used. Some of the mounting boards 266 may, moreover, be used to mount memorabilia but are attached to frame 262 and blocks 268 in the manner previously described, to provide an individualized assembly, the photos of which can be coated, if desired, with the protective coating in can 270.
Various modifications, changes, alterations and additions can be made in the present method, its steps and parameters, in the present kit, and assembly, their components and parameters. All such modifications, changes, alterations and additions as are within the scope of the appended claims form part of the present invention.

"I like anime and I'm proud of it."
And it's the truth. If someone random came up to me in public, in real life, and asked me, "Do you like anime?", I would answer yes to it, because it is true, I like anime. In fact, anime is a big part of my life and I will admit that it's my main form of entertainment, above all else.
So, if you like something, what is wrong about being proud about it? Of course, I don't mean idiots, like this, that proclaim anime is the superior form of entertainment a good example of an anime fan, but don't disregard that there are others who actually feel proud to like it, but aren't being an ass about it.
"Being proud" about something doesn't necessarily mean you have to flaunt it on everyone or force your own opinions about it on to others or even close off your acceptance about other forms of it. I personally understand that there are various other forms of entertainment that are being enjoyed by other people as much as I myself enjoy watching anime, and I do enjoy the occasional CSI or House M.D episode a lot.
But maybe it's just because I'm a rather less opinionated person, I just feel that all this drama is rather unneeded. Liking something isn't about whether you're proud of it, nor whether it's deep or not, nor whether is it frowned and stigmatized by the society, it's just purely about whether you enjoy it or not. That's my own 2 cents on this issue, and given that many responses towards this are pretty negative, I just felt like balancing the scales a little bit.
So, unless if I ever stop enjoying anime, if anyone asks me, "Do you like anime and are you proud of it?", I will answer, "Yes, I like anime and I'm proud of it.", without hesitation. As long as you like it, and you enjoy it, and remember to exercise moderation and open-mindedness, there's nothing wrong to be proud of liking something, not just only anime, but other things as well. I'll just sign off with this little tidbit I conjured for tj's initial post that got the firestorm started, but somehow got stuck liking it a lot…
Thanks for reading :).

Candida Albicans is a type or yeast or fungus microorganism. It usually lives with many other microorganisms in your gut. It is important to understand that antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, a poor diet or alcohol abuse may upset your intestinal balance and so destroy friendly bacteria and this encourages excessive yeast growth and leads to a yeast infection.
Treating overgrowth of candida requires a significant change in diet as this will starve the excess yeast by eliminating the foods they thrive on.
Symptoms of yeast overgrowth include fatigue, allergies, gastrointestinal problems and a weakened immune system. It is often hard to detect chronic candida as the symptoms are similar to those of other health conditions.

Product Details
Candida Cookbook by Gail Burton
This Cookbook has over 150 delicious gourmet recipes ranging from appetizers to desserts plus a complete food chart for Candida sufferers.
The book also provides a medically controlled treatment program which includes lists of problem and permitted foods, a carbohydrate guide, nutritional supplements, updated product and source information and a two- week menu plan.
Candida albicans is a harmless yeast-part of the body's natural flora- but when over-stimulated by all-too-common triggers such as antibiotics birth control pills, steroids or hormones too much sugar chemicals or excessive stress this benign yeast can become a debilitating agent that produces toxins which severely affect the body and suppress the immune system.
Statistics indicate that one in every three persons living in the Western world has some form of Candida. With symptoms as diverse as food allergies; digestive disturbances; eczema; hypoglycemia; PMS; persistent fatigue; joint pain; headaches; poor memory; severe itching; athlete's foot; and chronic ear nose throat and respiratory ailments the disease is difficult to diagnose and treat successfully.
Candida is the organism most commonly associated with mycotic (yeast or fungus) infections.Candida is a yeast-like fungus which reproduces by budding and is generally found in very small amounts in the mouth, skin, intestinal tract, and vagina of normal individuals.Ordinarily, the growth of this fungus is kept in check by the immune system and the beneficial bacteria of the body or flora.
Unfortunately, those with weakened immunity, or who consume too much
sugar (which feeds the fungus), and individuals who have taken drugs which
kill the beneficial flora like antibiotics, birth control pills, and long-
term use of cortisone - may develop an infection or overgrowth of this
fungus. This condition is referred to as Candidiasis and the strain of the
organism most frequently involved is Candida albicans.

You can find out very easily whether you have a chronic yeast problem by taking a simple and easy to administer, home stool test. The samples are picked up directly from you and sent to the lab and within a couple of weeks you will know if there is an overgrowth of yeast, or perhaps bad bacteria, and if there is, they tell you what natural and medical agents are beneficial to reduce the overload.
William Crook, M.D., the author of The Yeast Connection, reports that many physicians have used caprylic acid successfully to support overcoming yeast and that it works especially well for those patients who have adverse reactions to anti fungal drugs.

Social networks have transformed the way that we interact with each other. From Facebook to LinkedIn to Twitter, they have brought millions of people new ways of making friends, finding jobs – or just spreading gossip in 140 characters. In the process, they have also made their founders and early investors very, very rich. Thus far, however, the big winners have sprung from the other side of the Atlantic. The US has led the way, building on years of experience in spawning high-tech start-ups and easier access to venture funding.
But last week, investors in London got the chance to back a British horse, the aptly named SocialGo, which announced a placing to raise around £1.3m on Thursday. The firm, quoted on the London-based, Alternative Investment Market (Aim), is a bespoke Facebook. Sign up, and it allows you to set up your own social network, giving you the chance to pick everything from the look and the features to the all-important privacy options. SocialGo pitches itself as flexible enough for its service to work for everyone from a business looking to strengthen bonds with its customers, to a novice seeking to start up a private network to bring together a book club.
The company has some high-profile users. There is the leading commercial casting agency in the US, which uses SocialGo to spread the word about new opportunities and allows recruiters and candidates to communicate via blogs, forums and similar. There is Villepincom.net, the campaign site for the former French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin's bid to win the presidency in next year's elections. And there are household names such as Levi's and Random House.
The company generates its revenues via subscriptions. Paying removes adverts and brings users a whole host of features beyond the basics available in the free version, including the option of running their own advertising. The extra twist is that, while the platform can be used to set up self-contained sites, SocialGo also allows customers to tap into their Facebook and Twitter accounts, syncing information and giving users the chance to combine the benefits of customised private networks with the opportunities of vast public networks. Take-up has been promising, the company says. So far, more than 7,000 sites are being set up each month. In revenue terms, the US accounts for some 60 per cent of the business, while the UK makes up for 20 per cent. Fittingly for a tech start-up, SocialGo's chief executive, Alex Halliday, is still in his twenties. But the firm also boasts some experienced hands in the form of chairman Dominic Wheatley, the co-founder of Domark, the video games company that he later reversed into Eidos. Vikrant Bhargava, co-founder of Party- Gaming, is a non-exec director.
The funds from the placing will be invested in the launch of a new version of the SocialGo platform, which is out in the middle of this year. This is clearly one to watch.
Nighthawk Energy
The first ever reserves and resources study of Nighthawk Energy's much-trumpeted Jolly Ranch shale oil project in Colorado could be published as early as next month, putting a formal valuation on the key asset of a company rocked by share-price falls and management changes.
The Jolly Ranch reservoir simulation study from Schlumberger, from which Houston-based Gaffney Cline will develop the reserves and resources estimates, was submitted in late January.
The Gaffney Cline report will be a major milestone for Nighthawk, which saw founder David Bramhill step down last September amid a storm of vitriol on investor bulletin boards. Mr Bramhill's successor as chief executive, Tim Healey, set about streamlining operations, selling out of non-core projects and announcing a £65m writedown in November, to be included in the group's interim results in March.
Without the distractions of other projects, Nighthawk can focus all its energies on Jolly Ranch – a vast, 410,000-acre tract equivalent to the area inside London's M25 ring road. There are already 19 wells on the site. But the key to extracting shale oil is to establish the details of the "fracking" process needed in each particular geology.
There are early estimates of the quantity of oil at Jolly Ranch. The Schlumberger report sent to Gaffney Cline estimates 32,000 barrels of oil in place, with a recovery rate of 7.5 per cent – 14 times higher than previous estimates.
The Schlumberger model is based on only a very small area of the acreage but, assuming broadly uniform distribution, the report implies in the region of 13 billion barrels of oil in place across the whole Jolly Ranch project, of which something like 975 million could be recoverable, the company says.
That said, the reserve figure from Gaffney Cline is likely to be small, given the low level of production. The "contingent resource" number is the one to watch, because it will give the first formal clue as to what could be unlocked, contingent on enough capital to do it.
"It's a very important milestone on the way to consolidating the value in Jolly Ranch," Tim Healey said. "It's also an important step in the development of the company, allowing a line to be drawn in the sand and setting a benchmark from which we can grow."
It has been quite a week for Britain's only maker of machine guns. Manroy raised £6m when it listed on Aim just before Christmas. The value of the company then shot up by a fifth in a single day last week, with the publication of a first set of annual results showing pre-tax profits of £2.8m in the year to the end of September, slightly ahead of warranted profit estimates of £2.5m.
Manroy has expansion in its sights. The flotation was the brainchild of chief executive Glyn Bottomley, a former soldier with 25 years' experience in the defence industry. Mr Bottomley bought a 51 per cent stake from Manroy founders Madeleine and Roy Swainbank for £1.5m in 2008. With him, he brought design innovation – in the form of a quick-change barrel system to deal with the problem of overheating – and a major growth plan.
The listing is just the start. The group can already assemble up to 100 weapons each month at its East Sussex factory – including both the Heavy Machine Gun (HMG) that is its signature product and the lighter General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG) – to fulfil sales contracts of which 90 per cent are with the Ministry of Defence.
Not only has Manroy now acquired space to expand capacity, it is also gunning to boost export sales above 10 per cent and last month signed a new contract to supply a Middle Eastern government.
Given the Coalition Government focus on British manufacturing and export-led growth, Manroy may find itself in a sweet spot. There certainly seems little danger of the world running out of its appetite for guns.

The Walnut Beach Creamery is always worth our drive. We love calling friends and meeting them at this small family run ice-cream shop. My favorite is the honet vanilla, while those that I travel with prefer their more exotic flavors.
Uses 16% ice cream base everyone else uses only14% which means a far more creamy higher quality product . the flavors are kind of kid oriented but varied. There is room for some more creative adult flavors. Overall. Still the best in Milford or most anywhere else.
Delightful little hidden gem right off the beach, walk over and get a yummy ice cream cone they have amazing flavors you will not find anywhere else. The staff are friendly and they give out free tastes! Gets crowded in the summer months. Walnut beach is in Milford and its clean and beautiful and its fun to search for sea... More

very quaint and clean with great young help with lots of energy and smiles and you can't beat a good smile. ice cream is always new in flavor, taste and portions are almost overbearing in size. bet you can't finish
I ordered a pistachio ice cream but it tasted completely different. They also didn't have lids or bags so getting the ice cream to go was a big mistake. Not sure what all the hype is about
I have been here multiple times. This place is always packed because the ice cream is phenomenal. All of the hard ice cream is homemade and they always have a lot of flavors. The Twix is my favorite along with the cupcake.
One is those places that you want to keep a secret but to be fair it's consistently good, pleasantly staffed, reasonably priced if slightly out if the way for us..highly recommended though
If you love ice cream, this is your place! The ice cream is rich and creamy, definitely not dietetic! There are many flavors and ways to serve it from cones to cups. This is place to visit frequently!
So, in a nutshell...Very Good Ice Cream. Slow, friendly service. The big difference between WBC and other local ice cream stores is the unusual flavors. The combinations sometimes seem odd but everything works. The tastes are wonderful and different. But, service, while friendly, is SLOW. There is just one person serving. The reason is that the store is cramped. The... More

Coyotes Judge: September Auction Open to All Bidders
This is not good for Glendale.
Two days after he pushed back the date of the auction of the Phoenix Coyotes hockey team, U.S. District Court Judge Redfield T. Baum ordered that the rescheduled auction will open to all bidders -- not just those who plan on keeping the team (however temporarily) in Glendale.
That means Canadian Jim Balsillie, who wants to relocate the team to Ontario, will be able to participate in the auction.
And that could well mean Glendale loses its NHL team.

TicketsFri., Jun. 16, 7:00pm
As Judge Baum notes in his two-page order, it was Glendale and the NHL who originally asked for more time. The team's creditors argued against the delay -- and also argued in favor of allowing Balsillie to come to the table.
"The essence of their opposition is that any bidder should be allowed to present their offer to the court and to the parties," Baum wrote. "Both sides make legitimate and compelling points to support their respective positions" -- but ultimately, ruled that the auction that should be open to "any and all bidders, including but not limited to" Balsillie's company.
Balsillie is offering much more money for the team -- but the NHL wants to keep the team in Phoenix.
So does Glendale, which has already invested some $180 million in its hockey arena. But keeping the team could be costly: The main bidder promising to keep the team in town, for now, is Jerry Reinsdorf. Documents "accidentally" filed by the Coyotes' current owner on Friday revealed that Reinsdorf was asking for incentives to the tune of $23 million a year to keep the team here -- and possibly another $15 million on top of that annually should the team continue to lose money.
Our column in this week's issue, "The Kaites Connection," details some of the peculiar backstory on the Reinsdorf bid, including the fact that Glendale City Manager Ed Beasley has ties to Reinsdorf's partner in the hockey venture.
The new hearing is set for September 10. There will be a hearing before that next Tuesday to hash out some of the issues in play.

My girl is going to P1 and she's struggling to read..She has excellent memory though, she can speak English, Malay and Mandarin..but give her a book and all goes blank..
Not sure if the 2 major head injuries she sustained when she was younger had anything to do with it (first incident at 2yo+, fell and hit her head backwards, hole at the back of her head too big and deep, doctors had to pour medical glue to close it..second incident at 3yo+, fell and hit her forehead, gaping wound, had to have 6 stitches)..I'm really struggling how to teach her..Didn't have a problem with her older brother who started reading on his own at 3yo..
Any ideas?
How to teach DD to read?

Yosemite and Tuolumne County
Located within three hours of San Francisco is some of the world's most spectacular scenery in popular Yosemite National Park. Loved by hikers, climbers, photographers, and nature-lovers, Yosemite features famed attractions of high cliffs and waterfalls, as well as giant sequoias in Tuolumne Grove, prime hiking at Hetch Hetchy Reservoir, and vistas at Tuolumne Meadows. Driving the most direct route from San Francisco on Highway 120 to the park's Big Oak Flat Entrance in Tuolumne County, visitors will pass through Gold Rush country of California, home to famed Highway 49, two state parks, and historic hotels and saloons. This area is also noted for its outdoor attractions, including excellent nighttime star-gazing and sport activities such as skiing and snowshoeing in the winter and boating, fishing, and horseback riding in the summer. Self-drive is easy, and multiple chartered tours are available from San Francisco.

How do I book an escort
Once you have chosen the escort you would like your appointment with, please call us if you don't get an answer it's probably because we are on the phone to another client. Please try again in 5 minutes as we are a very busy agency
What information do you require from me
For hotel visits we will need your name, hotel details, your contact telephone number and the date and time for the appointment. If your booking has been made in advance we do ask that once you have checked into your hotel would you please telephone us to let us know your room number. For home visits we will need your name, full postal address, telephone number, and the date and time of the appointment.
What happens if I decide to cancel
You can change your mind at any time. Please bear in mind, however, that if you do need to cancel we would appreciate it if you would letus know immediately
What happens if the escort I choose falls ill
If your chosen escort falls ill and cannot make your appointment we will contact you and, where possible, suggest an alternative escort
What are Incalls and Outcalls
If you book an escort for an outcall appointment, she comes to you – she can meet you at your home or hotel, and join you for dinner, theatre, or whatever you choose. For an incall you visit her at her London apartment. Outcall appointments tend to be a little longer than incalls, because our clients often like to take their escort girls for dinner, or to some sort of show or event. The minimum booking is for one hour – beyond that, you can hire an escort (or escorts) for as long as you want
How far in advance do I need to book
It all depends on availability of the lady you would like to meet. Obviously some days will be more busier than others. So, simply give us a call and ask if London Escort of your choice is available. We also happy to take advance booking. But please no more than two weeks, as girls can change there plans and go on holiday.
What payment methods do you accept
Cash is the preferred form of payment our sexy models accept. However, we can arrange payment with Western Union money transfer before the booking, or alternatively you can pay directly to our account.
Can I pay using another currency
Not unless prior agreement has been made. British Sterling is the preferred choice, however we will always try our best to accept all major currencies. Exchange rate calculation will be at the discretion of the administrator arranging your date
Is all this legal? Am I breaking the law
It is definately legal, and you are not breaking the law in United Kingdom. Agency Barracuda representing just freelance ladies who accepting payment in exchange for spending their time with you. And as long as you don't pay anyone under the age of 18 for Escort services, you are safe. All our girls are over the age of 18 and have provided us with proof of there ID.
Can I book more than one girl at a time
Of course. Not all of our escort girls are open minded, but please call us if you have a specific request
Can me and my partner see an escort together
Yes, some of our escort girls enjoy meeting couples as well as singles! However not all female escorts are so open minded, you must inform us prior to booking that you wish to include a third party so that we can ensure your selected escort girl is happy with the arrangements. Often there may be a surcharge added, amount is at the escorts discretion
Are the girls' fees negotiable
Sorry, they are not. The ladies we represent are professional escorts. They use their professional skills to make a living in the same way your lawyer or accountant does – would you haggle with them? The only circumstances under which negotiation might take place is if you were taking one of our escorts out for a longer period than is listed on her scale of fees. In such a situation we would expect to discuss the price with you
Are the pictures of the girls' profiles real
Absolutely. There are some escort agencies out there who lie with fake pictures – we don't do that. We respect our clients, we don't cheat them, if you have any problems with the escorts we can find a suitable replacement
I have a special request - is that ok
We're quite happy to pass on our clients requests to our girls. If it's fairly simple – "could she bring her bisexual girlfriend?" – we might be able to help you on the spot. Otherwise, we
e not able to enter into negotiation about the personal services you may receive during your incall or outcall experience. That's down to you and her. We are, however, quite content to pass on special requests

US: Foster Farms linked to chicken salmonella outbreak
Almost 300 people are said to have fallen ill from salmonella outbreak in the US linked to raw chicken from three plants owned by Foster Farms.
The US Department of Agriculture said strains of salmonella heidelberg are "associated" with products made at Foster Farms sites in California.
In a public health alert issued yesterday (7 October), the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service said there had been an estimated 278 illnesses "recently reported" in 18 states. Those who had fallen ill were "predominantly" in California, the FSIS said.
"The outbreak is continuing," the FSIS said. "The investigations indicate that consumption of Foster Farms brand chicken and other brand chicken produced at Foster Farms plants are the likely source of this outbreak of Salmonella Heidelberg infections. Illnesses were linked to Foster Farms brand chicken through epidemiologic, laboratory and traceback investigations conducted by local, state, and federal officials."
The agency said it was unable to link the illnesses to a specific product. However, it said raw products from the three sites under scrutiny bear three numbers: P6137, P6137A and P7632.
Foster Farms president Ron Foster said the family-owned company had "maintained an excellent food safety record" throughout its history.
"We deeply regret any foodborne illness that may be associated with any of our products. Food safety is at the very heart of our business," Mr Foster said. "It is a continuous process of improvement. In addition to collaborating with FSIS and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the company has retained national experts in epidemiology and food safety technology to assess current practices and identify opportunities for further improvement."
The poultry processor said consumers raw poultry should be handled and cooked according to safe handline guidelines.
"Salmonella is naturally occurring in poultry and can be fully eradicated if raw product is properly handled and fully cooked," Dr. Robert O'Connor, Foster Farms' food safety chief and head veterinaria, said. "All poultry producers strive to reduce bacterial presence, including Salmonella. We take food safety very seriously. When the incidence of illnesses linked to Salmonella increased, we wanted to know why and we have worked quickly to identify and implement additional controls."
He added: "It is also important to reassure the public that the FSIS process has not been affected by the recent government shutdown."

(she also shows elements of this type)
Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Her 14 interests
in her own words...
I am outgoing, passionate, and a little goofy. My friends say that I can talk to anyone, and I usually do. I don't really fit into a neat category. I tend to fall somewhere between preppy, hipster, and hippy. I enjoy reading the Economist and going to bars. I like discussing politics and reading celebrity gossip. I have fun at concerts and sitting on the couch watching movies with my sisters. I grew up in DC, and that left me with a healthy dose of liberalism. I went to UVa for college and grad school because I wanted to go somewhere where people were smart and disagreed with me. I found some of those and some smart ones that agreed with me too. Let's be real, I loved college. After school, my big plan was to go to Africa to save the world. I only say that with a hint of sarcasm because I really do want to save the world. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anyone to pay me to do it. So, I came back to DC, and I ended up really liking it. Being close to my family and my friends is great, and DC pretty much rocks my socks. When I am not at work, I'm networking, volunteering, playing sports, or generally running around. I pretty much always have something going on, and I like it that way. I am looking for a guy that is passionate about something, be that his family, job, or favorite band…I want someone who is fun, outgoing, and has a strong personality. And I hope you will go on adventures with me. Because what is life without a little adventure?
