Cells Demystified
Susan Roberts' team is working to design the optimal environment in which cells can grow and function. Understanding how cell behavior is controlled can lead to breakthroughs for the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries, says Roberts.
Taxol is a secondary metabolite, produced by the plant as a means of defense against predators. Secondary metabolites prove useful to humans in a variety of ways, so a deeper understanding of how plant cells synthesize them could be highly advantageous.
"Our general work in secondary metabolism will have influence not just in health but in energy and agriculture," Roberts explains.
Due to slow growth and low yields, secondary metabolites such as Taxol often cannot be extracted directly from the plant in large enough quantities. Roberts is developing an alternate supply method using cell culture and demonstrating how biotechnology and bioprocessing can be applied in the laboratory to enhance productivity. In nature, environmental factors trigger the expression of genes that regulate the synthesis of secondary metabolites. A nearby predator, among other threats, gives off chemicals that activate a response within the plant. The resulting secondary metabolites are intended to eliminate the threat and are often toxic to cells, which makes them useful in treating human ailments such as cancer. Cancer cells divide rapidly, yet Taxol binds to the microtubules responsible for cell division, causing the cancer cell to freeze and ultimately die.
"Plants need to have a very sophisticated defense system… they can't get up and run away if something is attacking them. They will produce these compounds that will essentially invade and destroy predators...it's a really complex system in nature that we can replicate in the laboratory," Roberts explains.
Using Taxus suspension cultures in the lab, Roberts and her research team are experimenting with biotic elicitors to identify which chemicals in the environment trigger the appropriate gene expression in culture that results in increased yields of Taxol. Roberts and her team are also employing state-of-the-art techniques in sequencing, bioinformatics and metabolic engineering to identify and eventually manipulate the genes that regulate production of secondary metabolites—work they are doing in collaboration with the Boyce Thompson Institute at Cornell University. The collaborative team is developing methods to modulate gene expression in cell culture and whole plants to produce higher, or lower, yields of particular secondary products. For example, lignin, a chemical component in cell walls, is also a secondary metabolite. The capacity to manipulate the production of lignin would be extremely valuable in biotechnology and agriculture, as it would allow scientists to influence the performance of the cell wall.
Roberts and the team are also conducting research around cellular aggregation. Roberts explains how in culture, plant cells cluster together in a variety of ways. The team is finding that aggregation influences both culture performance and production of the desired compound.
"We have shown in the last couple of years that the extent of aggregation directly correlates with the amount of Taxol in a culture. We're really trying to fundamentally understand the whole process of aggregation in culture, so that we can effectively manipulate aggregation dynamics to influence culture performance," says Roberts.
Roberts' team is also working to design the optimal environment in which cells can grow and function. Roberts says that this "mechanical and chemical" environment has a considerable impact on how cells behave. Critical to this research is the ability to measure the microenvironment—the area around each individual cell. Roberts and the team are collaborating with Alfred Crosby in Polymer Science and Engineering to design a new method to quantify that environment and measure its impact on cell function.
"I don't think the technology has been there, quite yet, to be able to define what this environment is. I think the new tool that we're applying to natural polymer systems developed by the Crosby lab, cavitation microrheology, will finally be able to get at what that environment around an individual cell or cell aggregate looks like," says Roberts.
As both a professor and the director of the Institute for Cellular Engineering, Roberts has always been passionate about integrating the life sciences into engineering. She finds it important to conduct research that has an element of translation, and that serves a purpose within the community.
"There's a societal need that motivates my research. Being able to design new methods for synthesizing pharmaceuticals, or designing new devices to support cell growth for tissue engineering is very rewarding. We need to get more students to see the outcomes of their fundamental work," Roberts says.

For a lot of makeup fans, eyeshadows can be hard to resist. You might go to a cosmetics counter to pick up something else but while you're standing there waiting for the sales associate to ring you up, there they are… dozens of pretty, fresh eyeshadows begging you to buy them. The next thing you know, you're at home trying to find a place in your already-overflowing makeup drawer for your newest five shadows. If this sounds like you, it's time to make your own eyeshadow palette.
Making your own eyeshadow palette makes sense for a lot of reasons. First of all, it's very practical because it frees up space in your cosmetics drawers. Even if you end up using this newly empty space to justify future makeup purchases, you still have to admit it's handy. If a lot of your eyeshadows are from MAC, this is also a good idea from an economic standpoint because once you take the eyeshadow pans out of the pots, you can return the empty pots to MAC and get a free lipstick as part of their recycling program.

Perhaps the best reason to make an eyeshadow palette is because this enables you to group colors that go together well all in one place so you can apply them more easily. It can actually take a fair amount of time to shuffle through your makeup drawers and dig out different colors to see if they look good together every day. When you make a palette, you do all the matching work beforehand and then you have everything laid out together for the future. This also helps you use up those colors that you always seem to forget about. Depending on the size of your collection, you could make a few palettes of different color families such as a warm, cool or neutral eyeshadow palette, a summer vs. winter eyeshadow palette, as well a few others like a neon, bright, shimmer, cream or matte eyeshadow palette.
This task will be easiest if most of your shadows are the same size. Many cosmetics brands sell empty palettes that their shadows can fit into. If your shadows are various sizes or from different manufacturers, or if you want to include blushes or other products, you can always make a homemade palette. This is also a great way to save some money. All you need is an empty CD case and some magnetic sheets, which you can pick up from craft or office stores for a few dollars. Take out the plastic piece that holds the CD (this is usually black) and trace it onto the magnetic sheet. Then cut out the piece of magnet and glue it into the CD case. Some eyeshadow pans will stick to the magnet on their own. If not, you will need to cut out some magnetic strips and stick them to the bottom of the shadow pans.
If the shadow comes in some type of compact or other packaging, it will be necessary to remove the shadow from the pot first. This can usually be accomplished by carefully melting the glue underneath the pan. Here are step-by-step instructions on how to de-pot eyeshadows by MAC and other brands. Alternatively, you can often buy shadows in simple pan format. Pan eye shadows are available from MAC on their main maccosmetics.com website as well as their macpro.com website.
It's always a good idea to label your shadows when you make a palette. It might not seem important now but once you hit the pan and need to replace a shade, you may not be able to remember the name of the color. When you make your palette, create a color guide on a sheet of paper. Make swatches of each color in the same order that they appear in your eye palette and write the name of the shade underneath. Use a piece of paper the same size as a CD booklet and simply insert it into the cover of the CD case. Then close the CD case and there you have it: your very own homemade custom color eyeshadow palette!

- Why the "greenhouse effect" has to do with gases in the atmosphere,
- How these "greenhouse gases" in the atmosphere warm the Earth (and what that has to do with things that are "red hot"),
- What this implies for future warming as we put more of these gases into the atmosphere.
What Is The Greenhouse Effect?The "greenhouse effect" refers to how gases in the atmosphere which absorb infrared radiation make the Earth warmer than it would be without them. (It has nothing to do with the way greenhouses work to protect plants by trapping warm air in an enclosure. That's just its name.)
There are two ways to understand this phenomenon:
- Some gases in the atmosphere absorb infrared radiation emitted from the surface of the earth. This warms them up and they radiate energy, some of which heats the surface in turn.
- Gases in the atmosphere that absorb infrared radiation from the surface make the atmosphere more opaque to that radiation, preventing transmission from the surface into space. (Radiation into space still happens, but from high in the atmosphere where it is colder and thus radiates less.)
Over time the Earth reaches a temperature that radiates away as much energy as it receives from the Sun. But when the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere change for some reason it takes time for the planet to warm or cool enough to restore that energy balance. That is why the "greenhouse effect" is in the news so much today--the concentrations of these greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are changing at unprecedented rates.
The Physics of the Greenhouse EffectIt is easy to understand the greenhouse effect if you comprehend these simple facts:
- The Earth is a big warm rock
- Warm things emit radiation
- Other things absorb some of that radiation
- In particular the "greenhouse gases" in the atmosphere strongly absorb the infrared radiation the Earth emits
- When something absorbs radiation it heats up
- Warm things emit radiation (2. again)
- Other things absorb some of that radiation (3. again)
- Some of the radiation from the atmosphere (see 5.) is absorbed by the Earth, which warms it (see 4.)
- Some of the radiation from the atmosphere escapes into space, but less than if the atmosphere hadn't absorbed it on its way from the surface and sent some of it back down.
1. The Earth is a big warm rock. The average surface temperature is about 14.5 degrees C (287.5 degrees K). This is the near-surface atmospheric temperature (as would be measured by a thermometer at a weather station) averaged the seasons, over day and night, and over the geography of the earth. (See Wikipedia article Instrumental temperature record.) The Earth is warmed by radiation from the Sun that it absorbs, and by its own internal heat, some left over from its formation and some from radioactive decay of elements it is made from.
2. Warm things emit radiation. Any object radiates heat, in the form of electromagnetic radiation. Everybody is familiar with the idea of an object being "red hot". An object that hot emits enough light that we can see it, mostly in the infrared part of the spectrum but some at long visible wavelengths. When an object is "white hot" it emits even more radiation, including a lot of visible light and a substantial amount of ultraviolet radiation.
2a. The warmer a thing is the more radiation it emits. This is known as the Stefan–Boltzmann law. (See Wikipedia article Thermal radiation.)
You can easily demonstrate this. If you hold your hand near a toaster (not in a toaster!), where the radiation from the toaster's coils can hit it, the radiation from the toasters coils will be absorbed by your hand. Your skin will be warmed by this radiation, and the more radiation there is the more it will be warmed.
When the toaster is off and the coils are at room temperature you won't feel the warming of your skin. The nerves in your skin don't do much when they are just at room temperature.
(Everything that is not at a temperature of absolute zero emits radiation. But hotter things emit a lot more radiation than colder things. Notice that the Stefan-Boltzmann law says that the amount of energy radiated is proportional to the fourth power of the temperature: j*=εσT4. So coils glowing red hot--about 1,000 K--are hotter than coils at room temperature of about 293 K, about 700 degrees Kelvin hotter. They are three times as hot, but they emit more than 100 times as much radiation.)
At 287.5 degrees Kelvin (14.5 degrees Celsius) most of the radiation the Earth emits is infrared radiation. None of it is in the visible range. (Even at 45 degrees Celsius, a really hot day, none none of the Earth's radiation is in the visible range. This is why the Earth does not appear to glow on a really hot night.)
3. The atmosphere absorbs radiation. Molecules of the gases that make up our atmosphere absorb radiation. Obviously the atmosphere doesn't absorb all wavelengths of radiation equally. It doesn't absorb much in the range of visible light (it is transparent to visible light). This is why we can see the Sun, Moon and stars. The oxygen and ozone in the atmosphere absorb a lot of ultraviolet radiation coming from the Sun. That is why organisms can live on the surface of the Earth (UV kills microorganisms and causes skin cancer in people, for example).
The atmosphere is mostly oxygen and nitrogen, but it is about 0.035% carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide absorbs infrared radiation very strongly. Since the warm Earth emits mostly infrared radiation (with a peak at wavelengths of about 10-5 meters) and CO2 absorbs infrared radiation (especially that with a wavelength longer than about 1.3x10-5 meters) you can see that a lot of the infrared radiation from the surface of the Earth is absorbed by CO2 in the atmosphere. (The situation is similar for other "greenhouse gases" such as CFCs, nitrous oxide, methane and water vapor.) (See Greenhouse Gas Absorption Spectrum.)
4. When something absorbs radiation it heats up. The photons of radiation can interact with matter. How they interact depends on the properties of the photon (wavelength) and the properties of the atom or molecule of matter. (At the wavelengths we are talking about these properties mainly have to do with the energy states of its electrons.) When substances absorb radiative energy they increase their thermal energy. They get warmer.
2. again: Warm things emit radiation (see above). The warmer they are the more radiation they emit. The warmed greenhouse gases emit more infrared radiation than they did when it was cooler (see 2a. above). Some of that radiation escapes into space. Some is absorbed by other parts of the atmosphere. And some if it is absorbed by the Earth below, making it a little warmer (see 4. above).
So that's how the "greenhouse effect" works:
- Radiation from the Sun warms the Earth and the atmosphere
- The Earth emits infrared radiation (the warmer it is the more it emits)
- The "greenhouse gases" in the atmosphere, especially CO2, absorb some of that radiation from the earth, and this warms them up (the more of these gases there are the more they absorb)
- The warm gases in the atmosphere emit infrared radiation (and the warmer they are, and the more of them there are, the more they emit)
- Some of the infrared radiation from the "greenhouse gases" in the atmosphere is absorbed by the Earth, warming it a little more
- Loop back and repeat
The Net ResultThe diagram below shows how all this works in terms of the Earth's energy balance.
As you can see, the net imbalance (energy in minus energy out) is only 0.9 Watts per square meter. (Other estimates give net forcing of approximately 1 to 3 Watts per square meter.) Whatever the actual figure, it is enough to warm the Earth significantly over time.
ConsequencesAlso note that the net absorbed is only 0.26% of the total incoming energy flux. It only takes a small change in the transparency of the atmosphere in the infrared to change the outgoing long-wave (infrared) radiation enough to affect the surface temperature. And of course the more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, the greater the climate forcing.
How much will the Earth's temperature rise because of this 1 or 2 Watt per square meter forcing? That is the subject of urgent research. Current thinking is that the level of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere today, if we didn't put any more up there, might lead to a further increase in global temperature of one or two degrees Celsius or so.
But there are many difficulties with this estimate:
- Feedback effects. As the Earth warms up there will be changes in the global energy balance that might make it warm faster or slower, such as
- Melting of ice. Ice is highly reflective, so if it melts to expose bare ground or open sea less incoming solar radiation will be reflected back to space ("Reflected by Surface" in the diagram above).
- Vaporization of methane in permafrost and undersea deposits. Methane is one of the most significant greenhouse gases, and there are vast amounts of it tied up in frozen permafrost or in deposits of methane hydrates on the sea floor. If warming of the sea causes melting and release of some methane hydrates this could vastly decrease the transparency of the atmosphere to long-wave radiation, keeping more heat on the Earth. It is thought that when this happened in the geologic past it led to an earth many degrees hotter than today's.
- Warming seas. Cold water can absorb more carbon dioxide than warmer water. So as that 1 Watt per square meter radiative forcing warms the oceans, more carbon dioxide will be left in the atmosphere to act as a greenhouse gas.
- Clouds. As the climate warms the weather will change. There might be more clouds, or less, or their distribution might change. Clouds are an important part of the "Reflected by Clouds and Atmosphere" component of the energy budget in the diagram.
- Water vapor. Warmer air can hold more water vapor, and water vapor is a significant greenhouse gas.
- Continued emissions.
- We have already perturbed the planet's energy balance by putting around a trillion tonnes of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere over the past couple of centuries by burning fossil fuels and by land-use changes (burning forests). That is why the energy budget is out of balance by one or two Watts per square meter. But we continue to put about 35 billion additional tonnes of greenhouse gases into the air every year. And that annual emission figure continues to increase. So the concentration in the atmosphere will increase, the transparency of the atmosphere to infrared radiation will decrease, and the greenhouse climate forcing will increase. We are on course to put at least another trillion tonnes of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere by 2050, probably closer to two trillion.

5 Stylish Office Design Trends Driven by Millennials
It?s safe to say that millennials are unlike any other generation before them. This can be seen in their approach to relationships, entertainment, technology, and, of course, work. Usually, they have very high expectations when it comes to their work environment; they want to have enough flexibility, and they want to feel like they are making an impact. This is why their offices are not only professional but also enjoyable and very often even sustainable. With that in mind, here?s what it takes to design an office suitable for millennials.
Green office
One of the best ways to make an impact today is to go green, which is why millennials prefer offices that do not harm the environment. For instance, a green office would have LED lights instead of the usual ones. It should also be well-insulated so there?s less power wasted on cooling and heating the room. Moreover, there should be plenty of plants that purify the air, and there needs to be enough natural light as well. Finally, every computer and other technological gadgets should be turned off and unplugged when not in use. Creative office
Millennials can?t stand being bored, not even at work, which is why their offices can usually be described as both fun and professional. They don?t want to work in small cubicles and dull, gray offices that lack any kind of character. Millennials need an engaging, comfortable, and stress-free environment in order to feel motivated. Of course, it should still be fitting for their fiel...

I'm a fan of reflecting. New Year's Eve seems like a good time to take time away from making snack foods for a family game night, and sit down and look back, and then look forward to what's to come.
I usually reflect in list format....mostly because it's how I conduct 99.9% of my life....in list form.
Today, I'm going with a few songs.
There are so many things I could go back to and celebrate from 2011. Our family just welcomed the second member of our next generation two days ago. My BFF had a precious little girl a month ago. I visited the shores of Alaska on an amazing cruise with my Mom. God's grace brought me to and through an incredible adventure on the Amazon River this last summer. I took up running in August. I gave up running in August. I took up running in August. I gave....OK....I've been running. It hurts, but it's helping. There are so many daily victories, and tales, amazing friends, and celebrations to share. I've blogged about most of these things over the year, but as I was considering how to best format my list, I started thinking about the big picture. I may not remember the dates stamped on these memories in the years to come, but the big picture from the year is clear.
First, via my pastor, I'm so in love with this song...If I could wrap up every memory good and bad, this is how the year went, this is how the next will go even as the details are fading, painful, foggy....you name it, I know God was faithful through it all....
The next song comes with a video, this is not my video, but some of the first pictures I took, and I looooove this song so much. My friend Phyllis made this video based on our trip to the Amazon, and previous trips she took. I borrowed it from her facebook page. I could have never written the adventures I went on this year into the plans last December 31st. I'm looking forward to seeing where God sends me this year too....
Another song this year that meant a lot because there came a point, you know, once or a million times over the last year....scratch that 32 years where I sometimes listen to the world and don't feel like I quite measure up, and God totally speaks to me through this song...reminds me that, true, I may not be enough for the world, BUT the world isn't enough for me either...I wasn't made for this world.
And as I'm looking forward to 2012. I'm praying the promises God gives me in the bible, and this is what He has been saying....
I'm not exactly the most patient person, but He keeps letting me know He's at work, 2012 will be every bit as great as 2011. He has taught me to
"....keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. Luke 11:9
The things I would like to see happen are completely in His hands, and a work in progress, BUT I have to be as faithful in the asking as He is in the doing. He didn't say ask once, He said keep asking. I'm learning to pray like never before. A year from now, I can't wait to see what doors He opens as I nightly 'knock' in 2012!

A Week of...Appetizers
This week I'm posting a bunch of appetizer recipes for New Year's Eve. Below are some previous links, and the links scheduled. Click on the words for recipes and sources. New Year's Eve has always been a holiday for appetizers in my family. I'm not sure why...the bite size makes it possible to consume more calories before 12 o'clock and new resolutions begin? Whatever the reason, each year brings about an opportunity to try out new ones, so as these post, I'm sure I'm pulling out some of these tried and true, and trying a few more as well!

Merry Christmas
"I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display His unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on Him and receive eternal life." 1 Timothy 1:16
I love Paul's story in the bible. I love that the longer God lived in His heart, the more undeserving of this gift He knew he was, but he accepted it, and never stopped sharing the story.
I have received more gifts and grace from the friends and family God chose to bless me with this Christmas, but I am certainly not forgetting the ultimate gift of His son Jesus. I did nothing to earn it...I am truly undeserving, but whole heartedly serving today and each day after the ultimate Christmas gift. John 3:16

Wrapping: Candy Packaging Technique
Friday, December 23, 2011
Wooden Stocking Hanger
Step one, I went to the scrap bin at the home improvement store. I guess people have wood cut, and they leave the pieces they don't need (too long etc) at the store. They sell these for 50 cents-$1. I bought two large pieces that will make at least 6 of these stockings. One thing I didn't do, that I usually do, is have the store go ahead and cut the pieces for me. I had to do this when I got home, which left for some crooked cuts. It looks like I had a little too much egg nog, but I assure you that is not the case, I just won't quit my day job in pursuit of carpentry anytime soon....

Joe Emmick '92, Dean for College Advancement at Wabash since 2003, has accepted a new position as Vice President for Development and Alumni Relations at Elmhurst College in Elmhurst, Illinois. He will continue to lead Wabash's Advancement Office through December 31.
"Our Strategic Plan calls on us to accomplish ambitious financial goals and extend our network of alumni and alumnae throughout the country," said Elmhurst College President S. Alan Ray. "Joe Emmick has the personal and professional qualities and experience to achieve those goals and more. His success at Wabash, a leading liberal arts college, speaks for itself. I am extremely pleased to welcome him to the College's senior leadership team."
Emmick majored in English, graduated cum laude in 1992, and earned the Phi Beta Kappa Prize in his senior year for his work as the radio play-by-play voice of Wabash athletics over his four years on campus. He has continued to broadcast Wabash football games on a statewide television network, as well as the annual Monon Bell Classic on HDNet.
He returned to Wabash in 1997 as a Major Gifts Officer, was promoted to Senior Major Gifts and Planned Giving Officer a year later, and in 2000 he became Director of Development.
He was instrumental in Wabash's successful, $136 million Campaign for Leadership and was the architect of the College's current Challenge of Excellence campaign. Under Dean Emmick's leadership, Wabash has had unprecedented success in its Annual Fund, which has surpassed $3 million in each of the last four years.
"This was not an easy decision for me," Emmick said. "I love Wabash and the ways in which it has literally changed my life. The more I progressed in Elmhurst's search, the more obvious it was to Sara and me that it was the perfect balance between an excellent liberal arts college at which I'd like to work and a major metropolitan area in which we want to live and raise Will. As difficult as it will be to leave a place at which I've spent 19 of the last 24 years of my life, we are excited about this new opportunity in our lives."
Emmick has been active in Montgomery County with the Youth Services Bureau, for which he served as president of the board of directors.
"While I am sad to lose Joe, I am excited for what this opportunity means to him and to Sara and Will," said Wabash President Patrick White. "I am sure that Joe will be a great success in his new position and look forward to seeing him at Wabash alumni events on campus and in the Chicago area."
At Elmhurst, Emmick will lead a team of 22 advancement professionals that is responsible for generating ever-increasing levels of philanthropic support for the College, a crucial task as Elmhurst pursues its ambitious Science and Health Initiative and seeks scholarship and other funds to support its students and advance its academic enterprise.
Elmhurst is a liberal arts college with approximately 2,800 undergraduate and 300 graduate students located 30 miles west of downtown Chicago.

Cranbrook Institute of Science unveils new observatory with special Christmas hours
Cranbrook Institute of Science celebrates the holiday season with special opportunities to view its new observatory.
Cranbrook's new Observatory offers access to the only research-grade telescopes regularly open to the public in the Midwest. Three new telescopes, architectural redesign and upgrades in the viewing space, a new dome and direct compatibility are some of these new features visitors of Cranbrook will experience.
The Observatory, 39221 Woodward Avenue in Bloomfield Hills, will be open during expanded hours for daytime tours from 1 to 4 p.m. Dec. 26 through 29 and for nighttime viewing 8:30 to 10 p.m. Dec. 28 and 29.
There will be daily staff guided tours Dec. 26 through 29. At 1:30 p.m., the staff geologist will guide a dinosaur tour. At 1:15 p.m., 2 p.m. and 2:45 p.m., guests can explore the Institute's trails on a guided outdoor hunt while discovering first-hand the interactions of producers and consumers in an ecosystem.
The Institute also offers free-with-admission experiences both indoors and outdoors from 1 to 4 p.m. Dec. 26 through 30. Visitors will explore the local evidence for an ice age climate by seeing and touching 14,000 year old ice age fossils from the Institute's collections, including mastodon and mammoth bones, teeth and tusks from southeast Michigan and real mammoth hair from Siberia. Visitors can try on a pair of Inuit snow goggles and make a pair to take home.
Outdoors, visitors will gather around a fire in Cranbrook's newly relocated and rebuilt wigwam to study pelts and tools from Michigan's fur trade era while hearing traditional stories from the Native Peoples and settlers of the Great Lakes. Investigating Michigan's Winter activities are free with admission. There is an additional charge for a bat or planetarium program.
The Institute's temporary exhibition Extreme Deep, takes visitors to the depths of the world's waters to reveal mysterious life forms, shipwrecks like Titanic, and interactives that simulate the experience of underwater research. Highlights include video footage of Great Lakes wrecks viewed through a "glass bottom boat," an overview of the Great Storm of 1913 and interactives which enable visitors to test their skills at retrieving specimens from the sea floor using mechanical arms, or take over the controls of Alvin, a submersible research vehicle.
Museum admission is $12.50 for adults, $9.50 children age 2 to 12 and for senior citizens age 65 and up. Children under 2 and members admitted free. Admission Friday and Saturday evening is $5.50 for adults and $4.50 for children ages 2-12 and seniors over 65.

2015 Honda CR-Z Roof Rack - Complete System with Fairing - Inno Rack with Locks
This Kit Includes the following Items:
People who ordered this item also ordered:
Once I got the product installed, it works just fine. It grips the car and the bike rails securely - no complaints at all. Getting to that point, however... not so easy. The mounts, bars, and extenders (I have a short roof car) all come in separate boxes, each with a different set of directions, and they are very awkwardly translated from - I assume - Japanese. The written instructions and accompanying diagrams are at best marginally useful, and at worst contradictory. If you have prior roof rack experience, you'll probably be okay, but if this is your first roof rack installation, like it was mine, good luck. Just so we're clear, I do my own bike work, so I'm not exactly mechanically challenged. And if you have a Honda CRZ, skip the fairing - it doesn't fit, even after two hours of effort.
Use for my bike and will use as cargo carrier when traveling
Bike roof rack. Is great
Out of the box all the pieces looked a little overwhelming laying on the floor but taking it step by step it was installed in roughly 30 minutes. Looks great too!
Install took about a solid hour but the product seems well put together. It survived high speeds and a recent windstorm. Looks great on the car too
I use the racks to carry surfboards as well as snowboarding equipment.. excellent easy to use quality racks system that was easy to setup. Perfect fit.

Celebrating illustration, design, cartoon and comic art of the mid-20th century.
Wednesday, March 05, 2008
Who Was Frank Webber?
Until I found the record jacket above with Frank Webber's distinctive signature on it I had only ever seen a few pieces by him in Coronet magazine.
Webber's artwork began appearing in Coronet around 1957, when the digest magazine began using illustrators with more avant-garde styles. Webber produced many tiny spots and a few larger pieces like the ones you see here from November of 1957.
Webber's style reminds me of a cross between David Stone Martin and, believe it or not, Art Seiden - an unusual combination to be sure - but hey, that's just my opinion. I would love to know what his influences actually were - because his look is truly unique.
Webber is not listed on Askart.com or in Walt Reed's "Illustrator in America" and aside from Coronet magazine and this one album cover, I have never seen his work in any other publication. For now, Frank Webber remains a mystery.

In the dystopian future, as the human population plummets, we'll need PSAs to remind us to get laid. Apparently that future is here, at least in Singapore, a nation whose birth rate is one of the lowest in the world. Now a local ad agency, with the help of Mentos, is trying to jumpstart a baby boom with this vaguely hip hop song urging people to have sex. Over at Foreign Policy's Passport blog, Joshua Keating calls the video the country's least successful effort at social engineering.
Here are some amazing sample lyrics:
It's national night and I want a baby, boo
I know you want it, so does the SDU
I ain't merlion baby, this is national duty
Let me SMS the details of our late night dooty... call [...]
Singapore's population, it needs some increasing
So forget waving flags, August 9th we be freaking
The coming population crash may be more bizarre than you ever thought.
According to the Wall Street Journal:
The song, devised by ad agency BBH Asia-Pacific and spread via social media, is part of Mentos's plan to launch a special "I Heart SG" pack of their signature mints for this year's National Day. The agency was asked to come up with a campaign to "prove how much Mentos really 'hearts' " Singapore, according to the project's creative director, Adrian Chan.
"Mentos has always stood for 'fresh thinking,' so we decided to apply some to an issue that is very close to home: our declining national birthrate," said Mr. Chan.

Jarle_wermskog needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 201 designs submitted by 56 freelance designers.
Fysikalen (maybe; Fysikalen fysioterapi & sportsklinikk
Fysikalen fysioterapi og sportsklinikk (English: Fysikalen physiotherapy and sports clinic) has opened its doors in October 2010 in Drammen, Norway. It is a small clinic that provides services for athletes and the general public. The staff has dedicated every aspect of their services to the patients that come through their doors. The services that the clients receive are very personal, the clinic staff is eager to see individual improvements as well as provide encouragement, support and comfort. We consider ourselves as compassionate physiotherapists, who always do our best to give our patients the best possible treatment. We are also open to explore new ways and new ideas to promote and market our clinic.
The targeted audience is twofold: doctors who send the patients to the clinic for rehabilitation and the actual patients that seek our services.
Doctors range: neurologists, family doctors, physiatrist, orthopedic surgeons, podiatrists, nurse practitioners and chiropractors.
Patients: Everything from general public to athletes, age 6 to 80 years old. The majority of patients are people with acute and chronic repetitive stress injuries from work or sports-activities. I also treat people with non-sport, non-active lifestyle injuries.
At Fysikalen we will work together with our patients to bring them back to their optimal health and maximum potential for sport, work or play.
We are looking for a crisp, clean, professional and memorable design. We are keen on the colours {Red | Black | Silver} but you should not feel limited to this pallete.
It should speak to the company's purpose and possibly express the following message: health through motion. Restore function, mobility and improve quality of life.
The logo will need to work in my:
* Website
* Headed paper and brochures
* Business cards
* T-shirts
The font should be clear, bold and professional. No cartoons or overly detailed anatomical pictures.

Young woman rides a bike fashionably in 1939
It's not the first time or last that cycling is in fashion. Here's all the current velocouture and cycle chic, as seen in 1939…
Young woman on a bicycle, wearing a trouser suit, 27 October 1939. 'Three-piece suit for wartime cycling girl. With the immense increase in the popularity of cycling owing to petrol rationing, dressmakers and tailors are setting out to make suitable clothes for it. Aquascutum of London have produced a three-piece man-made tailored suit in Scutum cloth which is rainproof and windproof. The three-piece consists of a coat, a skirt with three inverted pleats in front, and a pair of trousers zipped at the sides. A girl can thus ride to work, or elsewhere, in trousers and then change into a skirt.

MILWAUKEE — Dozens of gay couples got married at courthouses in Milwaukee and Madison early Saturday, taking advantage of what may be a small window in which to get hitched before the state's same-sex marriage ban is reinstated, at least temporarily.
Milwaukee County Clerk Joe Czarnezki said couples were lined up outside his courthouse at 6 a.m., three hours before it opened. Within 30 minutes of opening, about 45 couples had applied for marriage licenses.
U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb issued her ruling Friday afternoon just as the gay festival PrideFest was starting in Milwaukee. Many couples who married Saturday morning said they had elected to attend the festival the night before since they already had plans with friends. Then they got up early and went to the courthouse.
Craig Cook and Marshall Draper arrived about 8:30 a.m. and found nearly two dozen couples in line ahead of them. Cook, 43, said he and others had been hoping Crabb would make a decision in time for PrideFest. He and Marshall planned to go back to the festival Saturday after being married by a Unitarian minister outside the courthouse.
"Had this been legal, we probably would have done this 20 years ago," Cook said. He said he and Marshall would likely have a reception in a few weeks, but "this was as formal a wedding as I've ever wanted."
Rachel Arbit , 27, and Ashley Norris, 30, tried to get married Friday evening but arrived at the Milwaukee courthouse to find they needed Arbit's birth certificate and Social Security card, both of which were locked in a safe deposit box at a bank nearly three hours away. They returned to the courthouse Saturday morning and waited for Arbit's mother to arrive with the documents.
"We don't know how long it's going to last, this ruling," Norris said. "And we don't want to miss out."
While Crabb declared Wisconsin's ban on same-sex marriage unconstitutional, she did not order the state to allow such marriages. Instead, she asked the couples who sued to describe exactly what they wanted her to block in the gay marriage law.
Attorney Larry Dupuis, who represented the couples who sued, said the American Civil Liberties Union would respond to Crabb's request next week and he expected her to explicitly order marriages to begin after that.
Meanwhile, Republican Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen asked Crabb on Friday to issue an emergency stay halting the issuing of further marriage licenses to same-sex couples. He was expected to petition a federal appeals court for a similar order on Monday.
Arbit and Norris said they had already planned an October wedding before a rabbi and more than 100 guests and would still have that ceremony. On Saturday, they planned to go to dinner with family and friends before heading to Pridefest that night.
"This is like a total bonus," Arbit said.
More than 120 couples married in Milwaukee and Madison on Friday night. The Dane County Clerk's office said it had issued 30 licenses by 11 a.m. Saturday and would remain open until 5 p.m. The Milwaukee County Clerk's office was closing at 1 p.m.
Voters amended the Wisconsin Constitution in 2006 to outlaw gay marriage or anything substantially similar. The ACLU filed a lawsuit in February arguing that the ban violated the plaintiffs' constitutional rights to equal protection and due process.
Jean Salzer, 49, and Linda Kapheim, 52, said they were surprised how quickly Crabb acted and hadn't been prepared for Friday's ruling. Two of their friends married Friday night while they were at a Tony Bennett concert in Milwaukee.
"Then we looked at each other and said, 'Let's do this,'" Salzer said.
They married Saturday morning. Though they have been together for 14 years, Kapheim said, "It just makes it so real for family."
"I think there's that legitimacy piece," Salzer agreed. "You are the same as everyone else. Someone with power says we are married."
