2007 Chevrolet Equinox ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
Improved interior, more safety features.
A Solstice, not an Equinox, is an event to celebrate. Our pagan ancestors marked the rebirth of the sun in December, with lights and feasts to dispel winter's gloom; and then partied again in June on the longest day of the year. An Equinox is by comparison a non-event, when light and dark are equal, when everything is just alright.
The Chevrolet Equinox may not represent the return of the sun, either, but it should be considerably brighter for '07, thanks to a bounty of improvements that really are worth celebrating. Four-wheel disc brakes, a tire pressure monitor, StabiliTrak and rollover monitoring have all become standard. Instruments and controls are largely new, and the chassis settings revised for better ride and handling. New options include upgraded audio systems, a remote starter, and at last a navigation system integrated into the stereo.
These are welcome changes because we have not been enthralled with the Equinox cabin.
Equinox is Chevrolet's answer to the Ford Escape, Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. But Equinox is bigger and roomier than any of these competitors, and has features that enhance its versatility. The back seats are mounted on tracks and slide fore and aft: Slide forward and you have more cargo space, slide rearward for more rear legroom. The rear seatbacks also recline for additional comfort. Fold the rear seats down, then fold down the front passenger seatback, and you can load eight-foot objects inside.
In fact, Equinox is big enough that its dimensions blur the line between compact and midsize sport utilities. It's nearly 14 inches longer than Ford Escape and just three inches shorter than a Chevy TrailBlazer. Its long wheelbase gives the Equinox good stability and ride quality. However, Equinox seats only five, because it does not offer a hopelessly cramped third row, as does the Toyota RAV4. Like Escape, CR-V and RAV4, the Equinox is based on a passenger-car design but has an interior like a traditional SUV. Therefore, industry observers and other car crazies call the Equinox a crossover utility because it crosses over the line from truck to car.
The 2007 Chevy Equinox comes in two trim levels: the basic LS and the better-appointed LT. Both are available with front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD). All models come with a 3.4-liter V6 and five-speed automatic transmission.
Equinox LS FWD ($22,180) and AWD ($23,680) come with air conditioning; cruise control; tilt steering; cloth upholstery; a fold-flat front passenger seat; a Multi-Flex 60/40 split rear bench seat that folds, slides, and reclines; six-speaker AM/FM/CD audio; and power windows, mirrors, and locks with remote keyless entry. Tires are Bridgestone P235/65 all-season radials on 16-inch steel wheels. Added as standard on '07 models are a driver information center and new safety features. Options for the LS include an upgraded audio system with MP3 capability ($135), OnStar communications ($1,045), deep-tinted glass ($275), and a tow package ($350). An engine block heater ($50) and carpeted floor mats ($40) are also available.
LT FWD ($22,970) and AWD ($24,470) add fog lights, carpeted floor mats, deep tinted glass, and 16-inch aluminum wheels. Mirrors, door handles, and roof-rack side rails are body-color rather than charcoal or black. Options for the LT include Package 2LT ($1,280) with an auto-dimming interior rearview mirror with temperature display and compass, six-way power driver seat adjuster with manual lumbar adjustment and map pocket, leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, and Bridgestone P235/60 all-season radials on 17-inch aluminum wheels.
Additional options for LT include an MP3-capable audio unit with six-CD changer ($435), seven-speaker premium audio ($325), navigation ($2,145), XM Satellite Radio ($199), a tilt-and-slide sunroof ($695), leather seats ($595), heated front seats with cloth or leather ($250), a remote starter ($190), luggage rack crossbars ($150), 17-inch chromed aluminum wheels ($850), and a rear-seat DVD entertainment system ($995).
Safety features include antilock brakes, StabiliTrak electronic stability control, tire pressure monitor; dual-stage driver and front-passenger airbags. Optional side-impact and head-curtain airbags ($395) come with a rollover sensor, so they can provide head and torso protection in a rollover as well as a side impact.
The 2007 Chevy Equinox is aerodynamically smoother, thanks to a subtle re-shaping of front and rear fascias as well as the rear spoiler. From the front, Equinox still looks the part of a Chevy truck, with its requisite single-bar grille sporting a large gold Chevrolet bow-tie emblem. But the black mask overlapping the front bumper has shrunken and retreated, which we find a subtle but worthwhile aesthetic improvement.
It's harder to see the difference in the rear spoiler. And in side view, Equinox looks pretty much the same as before. That's good, because we've liked Equinox from that angle since it debuted for '05.
In that broadside view, Equinox looks quite a bit different from the rest of the Chevy truck family. The roof pillars and the sheetmetal above the windows but below the roof seem to be extra-thick, imparting a feeling of extra solidity and strength, important for a truck made on a car platform. When you shut the doors, the sound is more like the muted mating of plastic than the hollow clang of sheetmetal. It's a sound that no other Chevy truck makes.
The doors open wide for easy entry and exit, and the rear gate goes up and out of the way, allowing you to stand fully upright for easy loading of groceries, camping equipment, or dogs.
The Equinox looks solidly planted on its wheels. Equinox is based on a car-type platform, with unit-body construction rather than body on frame for better ride and handling.
Inside, where the people live, work and ride, is where the Chevy Equinox shines when compared to some of its competitors. Up front, Equinox carries flexible net storage pockets on both sides of the center tunnel. The center console/armrest has a small storage cubby and a coin holder for toll money. Dual cupholders pop out of the end of it, but they're flimsy and get in the way of the handbrake. The armrest flips up, providing better access to an open floor console that's a perfect place for a purse, briefcase or tote bag. The floor-mounted cupholder works well, while slots farther to the rear holds CDs angled forward for easy selection.
The Equinox cabin is a clean and functional design. That said, some of the materials and control interfaces we found inside last year's Equinox seemed to us less than bright. Chevrolet has addressed some of our concerns for '07 with a new instrument cluster, center stack, shift knob, steering wheel, and heater and ventilation (HVAC) controls. Window switches are now lighted. Also new for '07 is a standard Driver Information Center that includes more than 20 personalization and vehicle information features, such as trip odometer, fuel range, outside temperature display and door locking programs.
The rear seat rides on a track that allows it to slide back and forth up to eight inches, to bring kids or briefcases closer to the front, or to provide extra legroom for tall second-row passengers. With both front and rear seats in the full rearward positions, there's more rear-passenger legroom in the Equinox than you'll found in many larger SUVs: a full 40.2 inches. With the rear seat full forward, there's 35.7 cubic feet of cargo space behind it. But even with the seat pushed back into limousine position, there's still plenty of room for your stuff. GM calls this innovative feature the Multi-Flex rear seat.
Because the rear seatback is split 60/40, Equinox can transport two rear passengers along with long cargo items. The front passenger seat folds flat, further extending cargo room length. When folded, the hard front seatback can be used as a table or desktop. Rear passengers also enjoy a 12-volt power outlet and, new for '07, a fold-down center armrest with two additional cupholders. Rear head restraints were downscaled last year, improving rearward visibility for the driver.
Driving Impression
Chevrolet's 3.4-liter unit is an old pushrod-overhead-valve design that lacks modern features such as variable valve timing and variable-length intake runners (although it does feature hydraulic roller lifters, just like a Corvette). It feels strained when pushed at high rpm. Still, Equinox delivers good acceleration under most circumstances, and it's smooth enough. EPA fuel economy estimates are improved somewhat for '07, at 19/26 mpg city/highway for front-drive models and 18/25 for the AWD version.
The V6 engine is aided considerably by the five-speed automatic transmission. Chevrolet says the Equinox can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in about 8.5 seconds, which should be adequate performance for most families. And while it may not excel at acceleration, Equinox is rated to pull a 3500-pound trailer, the same as the more powerful Escape and RAV4 V6s.
Its long wheelbase and 3800-pound heft give the Equinox a decent ride, making it a suitable companion for long trips. Its handling is responsive and it's easy to modulate the brakes for smooth stops.
The Equinox has good road feel in highway driving, yet steering effort is low at low speeds for easier maneuvering in tight parking lots. The steering ratio is variable, and the Equinox uses electric, rather than hydraulic, power steering. We don't think the average driver will feel the difference between this system and more conventional hydraulics, and that's a good thing. Unlike a hydraulic servo, the electric booster doesn't use engine power, resulting in slightly better fuel economy.
StabiliTrak electronic stability control helps drivers maintain control during sudden maneuvers or in low-traction conditions by using a comprehensive series of sensors to measure acceleration, deceleration, steering angle and yaw rate. The system steps in when the Equinox doesn't seem to be going where the driver intended. When that happens, StabiliTrak regains control by regulating acceleration or applying the brakes at individual wheels, a feat no driver can perform.
All-wheel drive improves stability on wet pavement, which makes it a valuable safety features. The system still sends the power to the front wheels in normal conditions on dry roads; it automatically transfers power to the rear wheels only if the front wheels slip.
The optional navigation is integrated into the audio system for 2007.
OnStar is an economical alternative to a full-featured navigation system. All Equinox models with OnStar now include a service called Turn-by-Turn Navigation. Turn-by-Turn allows consumers to talk to a live adviser, who sends complete step-by-step audio directions, as needed, through the vehicle's stereo. The directions are triggered by the OnStar system's GPS capabilities. This enables drivers to find their destination while keeping their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. OnStar is also an excellent safety feature, as its operators will dispatch rescue crews to the scene should your airbags deploy and you fail to respond to their calls. OnStar always knows the location of your vehicle. Simply press the blue button and a human operator responds, to provide directions and other assistance. They can unlock your doors if you lock your keys inside. They can direct you to the nearest gas station or help find a good restaurant or motel. If your vehicle is stolen, OnStar can pinpoint its location and direct the authorities to apprehend and recover.
XM Satellite Radio is another great feature, especially when traveling cross-country, because the stations don't change. It's nice to have around town for listening to music, 24-hour news broadcasts (Fox News, CNN), sports (NASCAR), talk radio, and comedy.
The Chevy Equinox is larger than other compact SUVs. Its flexible interior design provides room for five full-size people and their gear, featuring a sliding second-row seat. Equinox comes standard with a V6 and, with a comprehensive list of improvements for '07, offers good value.

Thrifty millionaire
I had to chuckle while reading the responses to the "Million-dollar question" in the Your Input section of the February issue of your magazine [pages 98 and 99]. Before reading the responses, I knew that many of the answers would come from those who seemingly have the whole process of farming today all figured, with a whole lot of economic jargon as to what to do with a million bucks. However the response from Herbert Wodtke so much reminded me of my Dad (as well as many other farmers who have survived in the business of farming) with his very practical and down-to-earth response. Mr. Wodtke said that he wouldn't spend any of his million on a new truck since "no new pickup is worth $25,000 to $32,000." He would spend some of his money on overhauling his old truck. I think this type of attitude is probably why Mr. Wodtke is still in business!
As for my Dad, I'm not sure, but he might buy a new chain saw (with a compression release). He might look for a slightly newer backhoe (one that didn't need to have the hydraulic reservoir filled every day), but the price would have to be really good. He might even buy a new chair for his deer blind. Other than that, he'd probably keep plugging away and fixing all the old stuff we have. However he and my mother may quit a little earlier than usual and take a few more trips to the casino!
Also, I'm really surprised that somebody didn't write in and say, "I'd take the money and continue to farm until the million ran out"!

Subsoiler points
We have an older five-shank subsoiler purchased in the early 1980s, and we are in need of the points as the old ones have been rebuilt so many times. The tag on the frame says: PM Company, Poplarville Manufacturing Company, Poplarville, MS 39470. It also has on it PICO Quality, Chattanooga. The points are held on with a roll pin.
Any help in locating the points for this piece of equipment would be appreciated. I have checked JD and IH, and their points will not work.
Thanks for your time and your great magazine.

We were not able to find information about the PM Company; however, we located a company called C.F.C. Distributors in Indiana that carries subsoiler points during peak season requirements. Contact C.F.C. Distributors Inc., 8555 N. SR 15, Roann, IN 46974, 800/548-6633.
In the Livestock section of our March 2003 issue (page 34), we published the wrong photo for a new bulk bag system from Easy Automation.

Who's that guy? Wednesday
The photo dates to either the 1930s or the 1940s, but I am uncertain of the exact date because there are a couple of contradictions at play here. First of all, Serious Young Man's hair is styled into finger waves, parted in the center and slicked down with what must have been a generous amount of pomade. This hair style was very popular with men all over Europe in the 1930s before the war.
Based on his clothing, the photo may have been taken in the 1940s after the Second World War. You will notice that his suit jacket has both pockets and flaps, something which was eliminated from clothing made during the war. With the rationing of all goods, including cloth, clothing during the war was made with as few 'extras' as possible, no pockets, no pleats, no flaps. The other possibility, of course, is that it's a very old suit made during the pre-war period of the 1930s.
The other element at play in the photograph is the chain driven tricycle which the little girl is standing on in the background. With its large wheels, fenders and chain position, the tricycle dates to the 1940s. (Thank you Tricycle Fetish)
The man in question is most likely from my mother's side of the family tree, and he may be one of the Barnwell sons. I do recall my mother telling me that the pin in his lapel is a pledge pin. To wear a pledge pin meant that the owner of the pin was a member of a Catholic organization called the Pioneer Total Abstinence Association. The pin stood as a symbol of the fact that the wearer pledged to maintain a lifelong abstinence from alcohol, as well as a devotion to the Sacred Heart. The pin also worked as a signal of sorts to remind others not to offer alcohol to the person bearing the pin.
So...I have a serious looking young man wearing a pledge pin, and a mischievous looking little girl on a tricycle.
Hmm??? Looks like it's a week for mysteries.
What do you think?

I love the way he's trying to rid himself of his curls. His barber knows for sure.ReplyDelete
Great Post. No I do not know who he is. From his clothes and the little girl in the background that photo was taken in the 30's or 40's.
Hi DuSyl,Delete
Thank for your comments.
Haha Great Pic Jenn. My vote is for the late 1940s because of what you said about the bike.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Charlotte,Delete
Thanks for your comments. I hope all is well with you. I haven't heard from you for a while.
I agree with you about the photo dating to the 1940s; otherwise, the bike would be an anachronism.
Comments on this blog are always deeply appreciated; however, in the spirit of true collegiality, I ask that you do not write something you would not say to me in person.

Aimed at younger people who want to express themselves using photos as the primary medium. Should have a fun feeling that encourages users to express themselves.
- The idea is to build a super fast, easy to use website that enables users to express daily thoughts using photos. In many ways this is a "twitter" but using photos instead of tweets. We are big fans of the minimalist design of Quora, Blippy, FriendFeed, Twitter, Dropbox and would like this site to reflect that aesthetic.
- The site DailyBooth has a similar concept and can be used to model the various features that are required
- I have also included a pdf with what I envision the basic layout looking like.
- The design should be simple and use soft colors with rounded elements. I like the top navigation style of Quora and Blippy so that should be incorporated into the design.
- I have uploaded 4 sample palettes for color that I like, but you can choose your own as well. I got the palettes from http://www.colourlovers.com/themeleon/twitter

"Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle and pit it under a bushel, but on a candlestick: and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." ~ The Sermon on the Mount.
"Welcome to Phoenix, and thank you for flying Southwest," the captain's calm voice announced as we taxied to the gate. A smile beaming across my face and tears welling in my eyes, I looked down at my brass bracelets I bought myself in Ubud, Bali, and I whispered, "I did it."
The routine announcement did not go unheard in my heart. His words were proof and acknowledgment that freedom has arrived. Anything is possible. We can fulfill any dream we have, when we unlock ourselves from the prison of fear.
Bali was a fantasy. A voyage that was a lifetime or two away. A voyage, men with large bank accounts, a back pack, a beard, no commitments, and a predilection for adventure pursue. Well, I did it.
I flew across the ocean, to a little island 10, 000 miles away, and embraced the journey as if I were going to the grocery store to pick up some milk. The world in its entire has become my home, because I am now home within myself.
I was released from the prison that I was held captive within for 17 years. A prison I did not know I had the control to be released from. The key was in the lock the entire time, and I did not see it. My light, my spirit had dimmed, and life was no longer visible. I could not see my path or purpose. I dimmed so much that I became my own warden and captor.
My jail sentence began as I starved my body into a skeleton with skin, and considered ending my life. I allowed a volcano of anxiety and compulsions to erupt and consume my every thought, decision and action. I was sick, and I was not even aware of the severity, until years later when I turned around, saw the bars, and who was on the other side reaching through; my daughter, my husband, my family, my friends, my passions, my purpose, me.
What happened to the little girl with the determined, hope filled eyes? The girl who sailed the seas, swam with the dolphins, paved her own path. The girl who sat on the bow of the boat for hours, contemplating the meaning of life and her dreams for her future and the world. She disappeared, locked herself away, and tortured herself by fearing the very thing she loved, life.
The fear was paralyzing. It brought my world to a halt. I paced the tiny cell of my mind's creation for years. My sentence began at the age of 14. It robbed me of my energy, esteem, confidence and dignity. Anything my mind could do to squander my spirit, it did. When I could no longer keep the anorexia a secret, I started to overexercise. When I was no longer able to mask the overexercising with marathon running, I found something else to become addicted to and control. My mind persuaded me that the only way to live, was to control what I did with my body. I did not understand, that the only way to live is to delve deeper and calm my mind so my body and soul are free.
I did not understand, that the only way to live is to delve deeper and calm my mind so my body and soul are free.
I convinced myself everything was unsafe, and death was looming outside of my front door. I became a recluse. I allowed my malignant mind to dominate, and the phobias to breed. I could no longer fly on an airplane. My fears reigned over me. I would have a visceral reaction to seeing a plane on television. Panic attacks became a part of my routine. The sickness infected my entire life. I missed out on 7 years of weddings, funerals, baby showers, family reunions and vacations.
My phobias began to invade my nest. The more reclusive I became, the only entity I could control was my home. I had exhausted the starvation tactic. My knees could not handle running anymore. I could not travel. I did not want to interact with people. My home became my jail cell. I began to clean and focused all of my energy on perfecting my surroundings.
Cleaning became my heroine. I cleaned obsessively to the point my skin would crack and bleed. I disinfected every surface multiple times a day. I vacuumed twice a day. The moment a speck of dust fell, I swooped in like a ball retriever at a tennis match. If someone entered my home, I was convinced that they had disturbed my perfection, so I scrubbed their presence away.
I was lonely, cold and vacant on the inside. I could not see in my darkness, therefore I did not notice the impact of my actions on the people in my life. I neglected everyone, because I was ignoring myself. I stole the light from my husband's spirit. I put up walls around me to keep everything and everyone out, so I could preserve what was left of "me." I was only surviving because my spirit had not completely extinguished. And then, Emma entered the world and held a great big mirror in my face.
Navigating the first year with her and my diseased mind was arduous. I yearned to be the perfect mother and guide for my daughter. I tried with all my might to show her the beauty and glory of life as I once adored as a girl, but now life was dark and cloaked in pain. My obsessions and compulsions were magnified that first year.
I would not allow dirt to be seen anywhere near my home. My house was on lockdown. I would not allow anyone to baby sit or watch Emma, including her own grandparents. She did not leave my side for 9 months. She was plastered to my chest in every wakeful moment. I was exhausted, depleted and empty. I cried almost every day, praying for God to release me, let me out, make me happy again, but no one answered. I did not see that I had the key. That I had the choice. It was all my decision to stop the fear from annihilating my spirit.
I had taken a hiatus from my yoga practice during the last part of the pregnancy and those first nine months of Emma's life. My physical practice, which I discovered at 20, had been my savior. My practice was recess from the jail cell, however I was immature and undeveloped in mind.
I became just as obsessive about my practice, as the eating disorder and the cleanliness. If I did not practice everyday, I thought my whole world was going to implode. I did not grasp that my spirit did not need a rectangular rubber mat to appear, but could be in constant presence. Ultimately, it was my spirit that unlocked the bars.
I will never forget the day I awakened. We all have a defining moment in our lives that marks our "rock bottom," the moment that grabs us and catapults us back into the light. Well, here is my moment –– Emma began to crawl off of the blanket I put down on the carpet for her, and I lunged to grab her and pull her back. Why? Because, I did not want her hands to get dirty.
It felt like someone socked me in the stomach at 100 miles an hour. I gasped for air, and I came to. I stood there stunned, saddened, disgusted, embarrassed, aware of my malnourished being. I was withholding my baby from growing, from learning, from exploring, from living! I picked Emma up sobbing, grieving, apologizing for my absence, for the sickness I permitted to take me over. That afternoon, I picked up the phone and called At One Yoga. I asked what time class was that evening. I called Keith and told him I was going to class at 6PM. That was the beginning. That was the beginning of my liberation. That moment was the beginning of the end; of the suffering, torture, fear and disease that had occupied my mind and body.
In that moment of rock bottom, my spirit ignited her flame and burned away the blind fold. I was not going to raise my child in fear, I was not going to destroy her precious life. It was at that moment, that I saw myself in her eyes. I saw my perfection; I saw the light. I saw that if my light was bright, hers would be too, and the whole world would light up.
Healing was a process, and it still is. A commitment to maintaining consciousness at all times. I became devoted to my recovery, to restoration, to living my life again. It was demanding and difficult at times. Healing became and remains my discipline, my practice, my meditation, my yoga. I strive to maintain a balance between my precocious mind, my tenacious body, and my divine spirit. If I allow my being to be eclipsed by either one of these elements, then I will fall back into unconsciousness. I have taken a vow to remain devout to my awareness of self. I vowed to see myself in all; everything and everyone.
I encouraged myself to get back on an airplane with my children. I went to therapy. I sat in meditation and did not turn away when the pain exploded within me. I faced my fears one by one, and as I did, they dissipated and disappeared. My desire to teach the lessons I learned from my experiences began to grow stronger and stronger.
I enrolled in teacher training. I made the choice to allow the universe to guide me, and my life began to unfold softly, gracefully and effortlessly. Keith and I confronted our marriage and decided to set each other free. I took a vacation from my physical yoga practice to analyze why I was practicing. I understood that I needed balance within my practice, and cut back on my asana to focus on my meditations and studies.
As I sat with myself, I understood that my purpose on Earth is to share every facet of my essence. Through my openness, I would help others reignite their lights. My words do not belong to me, they belong to all of us, because just as one sentence altered my path, I knew I would do the same for someone else. It has become my mantra, my footprint, "Save one life, save the world entire." The life I have saved, is mine.
I began to ache for a yoga womb; a safe, sacred sanctuary to pray, cry, sit, dance, and practice. A place to share my light with others. The studio appeared. I hungered to adventure, discover and experience the world again, so I went to Bali and will be going to India in January.
I am writing this the evening before the first birthday of the studio. One year ago, my flame began to dance again. Today, my flame is brighter than it has ever been, yet as I said before, I am a work in progress and always will be. The days I stumble into the dark, I do not panic, because I know now what I did not know then –– our job is to journey through the dark and into the light and back again. This is how we learn, how we heal, how we relate, how we connect and how we grow. The purpose of our existence is to live in balance. If we are always in light, we would not know dark. Our responsibility is to keep our candle shining, so we can see the key and unlock the jail cell bars when we find ourselves behind them.
One afternoon in Bali, I checked my email and this is what was waiting in my inbox, "I remember that little girl who sat on the bow of the boat excited and ready for anything the adventure would bring. I knew she was always there, I knew she would return, and she has. I love you, Dad."

North meets South at the Göteborg Ballet
Dance. A dance performance with Italian irony, Swedish contrasting and a Finnish sense for details. Three new works created especially for the Göteborg Ballet.
World premiere October 14, 2011.
"A painful and surprisingly beautiful triple dance bill" Borås Tidning
"The Göteborg Opera has a fantastic dance ensemble." GöteborgsPosten
"It is impossible not to notice the dancers' impressive abilities." GöteborgsPosten
Three different styles join in harmony when the choreographers and their works come together with the Göteborg Ballet ensemble. For the first dance première of the season one Italian and two Scandinavian choreographers have worked together with three composers to create a triple bill full of movement, energy and music composed especially for this production.
Fading by Helena Franzén.
Helena Franzén has worked as a choreographer for over 20 years and has created more than 70 choreographic works. On her I'm not looking back, a collaboration with the artist Jenny Wilson at Dansens Hus 2010, DN wrote: "Few Swedish choreographers are so generous, stimulatingly faceted and physically intelligent as Helena Franzén."
She has previously created Shadowknuckles for a regional tour with The Göteborg Opera Ballet. Jukka Rintamäki is writing the music for the new work Fading.
Watch an interview with Helena Franzén (in swedish).
Transient Horizon by Susanna Leinonen.
Watch an interview with Susanna Leinonen.
Susanna Leinonen is based in Helsinki, where she alternates between productions for her own company and freelance assignments. Her style has been described as aspiring, polished and perfectionist, filled with thousands of delicate little details. For her new workTransient Horizon she has worked together with musician Kasperi Laine.
Sud-virus by Roberto Zappalà.
Watch an interview with Roberto Zappalá.
In collaboration with compagnia zappalà danza.
Roberto Zappalà is artistic director and principal choreographer for Compagnia Zappalà Danza, founded in 1989 and based in Catania, Sicily. The company has toured much of the world. His work sud-virus for The Göteborg Opera Ballet is an ironic observation of how "the south" can be seen as a parasitic virus on "the north". The music is composed by Puccio Castrogiovanni, who also plays live on stage together with several musicians.

If I don't get at least six hours for several nights, my mental acuity wanes
The demands of law school become less and less consistent over time. I had a pretty regular schedule during 1L fall, but after that it became more sporadic. Sometimes I average 4 hours of sleep a night over the course of a week. Some months I get 6 or 7+ almost every night. I probably average 5 hours of a sleep during the two weeks leading up to finals, and I try to sleep 7 or 8 hours a night before my actual tests.

Given the growing number of iWatch rumors, it's no wonder this just-released Apple patent application is getting a lot of attention today. Here's what the USPTO document, attributed to Fletcher R. Rothkopf, Derek W. Wright, and Scott A. Myers, tells us in abstract:
A wearable accessory device is disclosed. The wearable accessory device includes a flexible display coupled to a bi-stable spring. Coupling the display to the bi-stable spring allows the accessory device to be easily worn in a number of convenient locations.
Of course, companies patent just about every idea, realistic or not, valid or not, sensible or not, that their engineers and designers come up with. It's very literally their jobs, given intellectual property litigation as it exists today. So, while iMore has learned Apple is moving ahead with the "iWatch" project, unless and until more solid information becomes available, it's impossible to separate any core technology that might actually be used from this patent, from anything doomed forever to remain little more than a render affixed to hands with, as always, overly-large thumbs.
So, while it's tempting to pull from this a "slap watch" concept where a bendable display could be wrapped around your wrist, providing access to all your stuff, much as the iPhone or iPad does today, for now it's an interesting insight into how some people at Apple are thinking about wearable technology, but not much more.
That said, there's an elegance and simplicity to the idea of a display and barely more than a display that resonates with the Apple and Jony Ive vibe, so if there are any elements of this that can be implemented into an actual product, I hope that idea, the minimalism, is it.

A citation for a cat shelter that houses about 75 felines at the Gulf Boulevard home of Doreen and Oliver Bauer will go to Levy County Court on Tuesday, Jan. 10.
The issue, which first arose at a City Commission meeting in late November has spurred a rash of "Letters to the Editor" in the past month. Neighbors complained at the commission meeting about the number of cats and the odor and flies generated by their presence on the residential property.
The Cedar Key City Commission and the commission sitting as the Community Redevelopment Agency approved money for upgrades to the city's fire hydrant system at its Dec. 20 meeting.
The proposal, made by Fire Chief Robert Robinson, calls for:
• installing 37 Storz fittings on hydrants that do not have them
• adding a new hydrant on Gulf Boulevard and Shellcrest and
• replacing seven fire hydrants, including two on Dock Street and five in the Hudson Hill area.

Five high school students got a lesson in how government works when the Levy County Commission roundly rejected their proposed resolution "intended to discourage the placement, sale, and delivery of candy flavored tobacco products to persons under the age of eighteen (18)."
G.L. of Cross City asks, "Last year I had my lawyer revise my Will. She also prepared a Living Will and a Designation of Health Care Surrogate for me. However, I recently heard about a DO NOT RESUSCITATE form. Should I get one of those prepared, too?"
Dear G.L.,
Since 2005 our electric bills from our electric co-op have gone up 60 percent due to higher charges per kilowatt and increases in fees charged on a monthly basis. That is about 10 percent per year when the increase nationally is about 6 percent per year.
Police Chief Virgil Sandlin said Jonathan Lee Figueroa, 25, of Chiefland has been arrested and charged with grand theft in the disappearance of a trailer from a Gulf Boulevard home at about 11 a.m. on Dec. 6.
Sandlin said after putting word out that he was seeking a two-tone blue Mazda pickup, a man called to say he thought it was one he had sold to a Chiefland man a month earlier.
Sandlin said he contacted the Chiefland Police Department and the trailer was recovered two days after its disappearance and returned to its owner.

CATIA for Engineers enables Digital Prototyping including Analysis and Simulation for design and validation of function quality and performance at all stages ofthe design.
Mechanical engineering is complex as assemblies are designed to perform a specific task with a specific target performance. Digital prototyping, combined with digital analysis and simulation, allows product development teams to virtually create and analyze a mechanical product in its environment. Mechanical engineers must be equipped with these tools so that they can gain insight into key factors in quality and performance early in the product development phase.
CATIA 3D Tolerancing and Annotation
Promote 3D as the master representation with standard-compliant semantic tolerancing
The tolerance and annotation modifications between 2D and 3D drawings must be taken into account early in the design process, so that manufacturing information is consistent and up-to-date. In order to do this, synchronicity between designers is essential in order to save time and be able to reuse 3D tolerance analysis.
Based upon 3D definition, CATIA Tolerancing guarantees consistency between 3D design and 2D tolerances and annotations. Users can create a 3D product from a 2D schematic and apply tolerance and annotation information to a 3D product, which ensures consistency. The 2D layout can be directly created in 3D to define the product and to capture key manufacturing knowledge. Afterwards, users can generate the assembly drawing and the product definition is directly re-usable for manufacturing planners and can propagate downstream systems.
Furthermore, CATIA Tolerancing enables specifications of tolerance and annotations to support international standards, such as the STEP standard.
- Produce faster with 2D views and annotations directly captured in 3D
- Promote design reuse with 3D models driven by existing 2D geometry
- Avoid reliance on 2D drawings and increase consistency during product definition
- Focus on the right area of investigation by filtering tolerances and annotations in 3D
- Define a product quickly and reliably with generative dimensions
- Decrease part definition time with design templates
- Support latest revision of major international standards completely
- Make decisions easier with product reviews
- Encourage collaboration with live sharing of tolerance specifications and annotations
- Make 3D tolerances and annotations accessible to personnel outside of the design office
Design and annotate 3D models using a 2D drafting look-and-feel2D Layout for 3D Design is the only product on the market that makes it possible for a designer to work in a 3D environment with advanced 2D drafting capabilities during the conceptual phase of a project. Multiple views can be positioned in the 3D environment and the user can also add 2D geometry to the views. Design intent is captured by taking advantage of all normalized dimensions, annotations and dress-up capabilities.
Drive 3D models from 2D geometry2D Layout for 3D Design also incorporates powerful tools to export 2D geometry as profiles and planes for fast and associative 3D geometry creation. Dimensioning and tolerancing annotation data can be added, with respect to norms from the preliminary design phase, and therefore do not have to be recreated in generated drawings for delivering technical documents.
Wizard-like creation of 3D tolerance specifications and annotationsUsers can benefit from wizard-like creation of 3D tolerance specifications and annotations in representations of parts and assemblies, fully associative to the geometry.
Display and filtering of annotations in the 3D environmentNumerous filtering criteria are provided to build filters on views in the 3D environment. For instance, the type or the sub-type of the tolerance/annotation, the associated feature or geometrical element, the annotation plane, the annotation set, or the default annotation. Filters are defined at the 2D layout level and are referenced, on demand, by each view to achieve the best flexibility.
Functional Tolerancing and Annotation generative dimensions from part designSketch-based part design features (hole, pad, shaft and rib) allow the user to automatically generate the relevant FTA dimensions and tolerances features, making it easy to reuse. Tolerance values and Part Design constraints are associative, allowing the use of the mean dimensions command on FTA dimensions. Moreover, constraints can also be edited through the FTA dimension.
Embedding tolerance specifications and annotations inside design templatesThe full integration in the Knowledge platform allows the user to define parts and products with tolerance specifications and annotations that are already captured in design templates.
Syntactic and semantic tolerancing check of annotations, fully compliant with latest revision of major international standardsThis unique tolerancing check ensures compliance with international standards and increases productivity.
Specialized measurement and sectioning collaboration toolsTeam members can perform measurement and sectioning to reveal or identify product elements that are not readily apparent from a basic, unmarked view of the exterior surface.
FTA review within a 3Dxml playerThis capability makes the 3D presentation of tolerances as accessible as 2D drawings, so that every customer or supplier can benefit from a full 3D product definition.
Dedicated tools for 3DLive collaborative reviewUsers can visualize query and filter FTA features in the ENOVIA 3DLive environment. The team members involved in product reviews can exchange viewpoints with annotations thanks to 2D and 3D markers. Design specifications are rapidly shared within and throughout the enterprise.
Visualize CATIA V6 large format drawings in ENOVIA 3D Live in a maximized windowNavigate easily among sheets with thumbnails to review annotations effectively. Take advantage of a vector quality visualization of drawing sheets.
Engrave or emboss the packaging of your product in a very supple wayDuring detailed design, 3D texts defines accurately any kind of texts that will be embossed or engraved in your product. Benefit from direct creation of 3D profiles, with the right font, orientation and support, sparing time as text outlines do not need to be imported.

Coinciding with its first place domestic debut, Ice Age: Continental Drift reclaimed first place at the overseas box office this weekend with an impressive $96.2 million.The movie opened to $16.4 million in Russia, which is the biggest weekend of 2012 there. It also had the highest opening day gross ever for an animated movie. In the U.K., the fourth Ice Age earned $9.1 million, and rolling in previews and showtimes during the week it has already made $20.8 million. It's also holding really well in most major foreign markets: for example, it was up 7 percent to $12.4 million in Germany, off 25 percent to $6.9 million in France, and off 8 percent to $5.3 million in Brazil. So far, the movie has already grossed $337.9 million overseas; it's still unclear whether it can match its predecessor's $690 million foreign tally, though it shouldn't really have a problem getting close to $600 million. Without any significant openings, The Amazing Spider-Man dropped down to second place with $67.3 million from 87 markets. Among its handful of minor debuts, its best was in Norway ($1.3 million). The movie's top grossing market overall this weekend was the U.K. with $6.02 million, while its highest-grossing territory to date is South Korea with a $32.2 million total. Overall, The Amazing Spider-Man has grossed $321.2 million overseas, and on Sunday it passed the $500 million mark worldwide. Ted continued to impress early in its foreign run: the movie earned $9.6 million from four foreign markets, and was in first place in each one. Its $6.9 million second weekend is the best ever for Universal, and it debuted to a very strong $1.5 million in New Zealand. The movie has already earned $31.3 million overseas, and if it can continue to connect with audiences throughout other markets it could be in line to at least match the first Hangover's $190 million in foreign grosses.Snow White and the Huntsman added $9.6 million this weekend for a new foreign total of $219.2 million. It claimed the top spot in Italy with $3.7 million (including previews), and earned another $1.8 million in Australia. Snow White's worldwide total is currently at $370.4 million, and with two small markets left to open there's a chance it closes above $400 million. A week after its decent domestic debut, Savages opened to $1 million from a few foreign territories. Most of that came in Mexico, where Savages took fourth place with a $900,000. With a handful of popular Hispanic actors and plenty of plot ties to Mexico, that's a bit of a disappointing initial result for the Oliver Stone thriller.

May 8, 2006
Wabash College Dean of Students Thomas E. Bambrey has announced the appointment of Jake A. Gilbert to the Wabash football coaching staff. Gilbert, a 1998 graduate of Wabash, assumes the position vacated by Mark Jozwiak, who resigned to take a coaching position in Texas. In addition to coaching the offensive line for head coach Chris Creighton, Gilbert will serve as an assistant track coach for veteran head coach Rob Johnson.
Gilbert joins the Wabash athletics department from North Montgomery High School, where he has been the head football coach, assistant track coach, and social studies teacher since 2000.
"We are pleased that Jake has accepted our offer to join us at Wabash," said Bambrey of the three-year football letterman for the Little Giants. "He has outstanding coaching credentials and will be a strong addition to our very fine coaching staffs in football and track and field. As an alumnus and as a fine defensive lineman when he was a student, Jake knows well the kinds of student-athletes who represent the College so well. We are excited that he is coming home to Wabash."
Gilbert, a graduate of Indianapolis Ben Davis High School, was an all-conference and honorable mention All-American defensive lineman at Wabash. He was graduated cum laude from Wabash with a major in history, and later earned his master's degree in education from Purdue University. He spent the 1998, 1999, and 2000 football seasons as an assistant coach for Dick Dullaghan at Ben Davis, where he served in a range of capacities.
"Leaving North Montgomery was a gut-wrenching decision, but I have prayed and thought a lot about it, and I truly believe that this move is best for my family and my career goals," said Gilbert. "It's also a great opportunity for me to learn from Coach Creighton and the entire coaching staff at Wabash."
While at North Montgomery High School, Gilbert coached four All-State players and 10 Academic All-State players. His team maintained a combined GPA of at least 3.0 every season since 2001. In addition to coaching and teaching, Gilbert served North Montgomery as the sponsor of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, coordinator of the CHARACTER COUNTS! program, and weight room supervisor.
"I am very excited about Jake Gilbert joining our staff here at Wabash," said Creighton, who begins his sixth year as Wabash's head coach this fall with a career record of 44-11, which includes two undefeated regular seasons. "Jake and I have developed a strong relationship over the past five years and he has everything that I look for in an assistant coach. He'll be a great recruiter because he is very enthusiastic, has a great work ethic, and he is passionate about Wabash."
The Wabash football team is coming off an 11-1 season in 2005 when it captured its second North Coast Athletic Conference championship under Creighton. The Little Giants advanced to the second round of the NCAA Division III playoffs. The Wabash track and field team finished second at the 2006 North Coast Athletic Conference championships.

A young couple from New Brunswick packed up their possessions and cat to settle in their new home in British Columbia. After working a year in forestry, he became tenure officer for the provincial government. As for her, she works with autistic children and loves her job.
They wished to have a frost-hardy, drought-tolerant and low-maintenance landscaping.
The main concerns of the owners were the long and steep stairs and ugly porch area, which didn't co-operate with an appealing curb appeal. I suggested a more interesting L-shape configuration, which would open up the doorway. The front of the treads and sides of the staircase should be closed off with horizontal wooden planks and painted or opaque-stained in charcoal. The new simple rectangular handrails will also be adorned in the same tint. To minimize the bulk of the porch space, which is inevitable because of the numerous steps, sleek metal spindles will provide a lighter feel than wood posts. The two floors and footsteps ought to be painted in a warm medium grey.
A new pathway, consisting of either paving stones or concrete slabs will lead the way to the driveway on the side of the building. The vinyl siding is sage green. The windows are thin, thus frail looking. Their inky black contour-forming, distracting rectangles look harsh. Painting these white would soften the façade while producing a richer feel. Six charcoal shutters and a new contemporary style door, painted in an earthy oxblood shade will bring forth colour as well as moderate contrast.
The botanical composition consists of white, yellow and orange blooming vegetation. Snowy flowers spring out of several Potentilla Abbots-woods and delicate clusters of the Vaccinium vitisidaea. After blossoming, this persistent ground cover, as well as the Ribes alpinum, situated between the two basement windows, will bear scarlet fruit. Although this last shrub loves a well-drained environment, the existing sandy soil should be enriched yearly with compost. Yellow hints will sprout out of the small ornamental tree near the porch as well as the ethereal Coreopsis Moonbeam planted in the outer border of the path. In this angled bed, on all exposed earth, a thick layer of black mulch would be applied to prevent weed invasion. A divider of some sort is imperative between the lawn and flower beds. Influenced by hues from the bricks of the chimney, some orange perennials in the larger bed along with tangerine annuals inside the wall-hanging container would insure a nice pop of colour and harmony with the door tone. On each front corner of the house, a few pyramidal small evergreens, like Thuja occidentalis Degroot's Spire, a compact Pinus mugo pu-milio, near the stairs and several low growing Microbiota decussata will anchor the facade in all seasons.
For a younger statement, the address plaque could be removed. One of the uncovered holes on the left will be hidden by the new louvre, and the right indentation will be concealed by the first number of the new larger digits.
Overall, without skimping on style, the house will look great with relatively few changes. The low maintenance assignment request will be fulfilled. After all, the owner has forests to attend to.
Vegetation (from left to right):
- Thuja occidentalis De-groot's Spire (two pyramidal evergreens, front corners)
- Vaccinium vitis-idaea (persistent perennial ground cover, white, red fruits, beds near foundation)
- Coreopsis moonbeam (perennials, soft yellow, outer edge of path)
- Potentilla fruticosa Abbots-wood (four or more shrubs, white)
- Asclepias tuberosa (bunch of perennials, orange, larger bed, butterflies)
- Microbiota decussata (low evergreen, copper in fall, front of stairs and path border)
- Caragana arborescens pen-dula (grafted shrub on trunk, yellow, birds)
- Pinus mugo var. pumilio (dwarf evergreen, near railing)
- Ribes alpinum (shrub, scarlet berries, tolerates pruning, between two basement windows)
Most homes can use a little bit of help when it comes to warming up their curb appeal. If you would like some inexpensive ideas on how to improve the appearance of your home, send a clear photo of your house with your commentary to: Suzanne Rowe, Designer, email@example.com

From a press release issued by Marc VDS Racing Team:
After an impressive fifth place for Scott Redding at a very wet and windy British Grand Prix just over one week ago, the Marc VDS Racing Team have moved on to the Netherlands for this weekend's race at the Circuit van Drenthe in Assen, or the cathedral of speed as it's commonly referred to.
The historic circuit is currently the only track that has appeared on the Grand Prix calendar every year since the series started in its current form back in 1949. A former public roads circuit, Assen has been extensively modified in recent years, but has lost little of the unique character that makes it a favourite with riders in all classes.
Redding is determined to carry the momentum from his fifth place at Silverstone into this weekend's race, which takes place on Saturday afternoon rather than the more usual Sunday. The 18-year-old Briton's confidence in his Suter MMXI machine has increased with every race and he's certain that the bike will suit the old style Assen circuit, allowing him to push for another top five finish this weekend.
Mika Kallio had a difficult weekend in Silverstone, but was forcing his way through the field and towards the top ten when he collided with Simone Corsi and crashed out of the race. The Flying Finn has struggled to find a good feeling this season when the temperature has dropped, but the Marc VDS rider is determined to overcome the problem this weekend in Assen, a track at which he has won races before, but where the weather forecast promises more cold weather and a good chance of rain.
Scott Redding #45:
"I like the Assen circuit, although in recent years it hasn't been one of my best in terms of results. It's an old style circuit where you can carry lots of speed through the turns, a bit like Silverstone, and that suits my riding style better than the modern stop start tracks. We arrive in Assen off the back of a solid fifth place at Silverstone and I'm pretty confident we can repeat that performance again this weekend. Obviously the podium is our target, as always, but I wouldn't be too disappointed to finish inside the top five."
Mika Kallio #36:
"We made some steps forward in Catalunya and Silverstone, improving my feeling with the bike, and I hope we can continue this progress at Assen. We also learnt a lot about the bike in wet conditions at Silverstone, where I was able to fight my way through the field in the race before a collision put me out. The forecast for Assen is also for rain, but I'm pretty confident we can achieve a good result regardless of whether it's wet or dry. I've won at Assen in the past and I like the circuit, so I'm looking forward to the weekend ahead."
"Scott had a good result in difficult conditions at Silverstone but he needs to keep challenging at the front if he is to reclaim his rightful place in the championship standings. Assen is a circuit that shares many characteristics with Silverstone, so I don't expect to see Scott out of the top five all weekend. Mika struggled with the conditions at Silverstone, but his fight through the field towards the top ten showed that it's possible for him to overcome the problem he has when the weather turns cold. I expect him to do the same this weekend in Assen, but starting from first free practice rather than waiting for the race. His goal is top ten this weekend, and he needs to achieve it."
More, from a press release issued by FTR MOTO:
FTR MOTO is looking to Saturday's seventh round of the Moto2 World Championship at Assen in Holland to build on a recent run of successes with its M211 machine.
Championship challenger Simone Corsi, Ioda Racing Project FTR, will be gunning for victory at the Circuit van Drenthe venue in the north of the country as he looks to close the 62-point gap from his second place in the World Championship to leader Stefan Bradl.
Youngsters Esteve Rabat and Yonny Hernandez of the Blusens STX Team, Kev Coghlan on the Aeroport de Castello FTR and HP Tuenti Speed Up's Pol Espargaro will all be looking to further their points haul and continue recent successful race finishes.
Rabat was sixth in the last round at Silverstone, for his best finish so far in 2011, Hernandez has finished ninth in the last two rounds, Coghlan was in the points at Silverstone for the first time since round two at Jerez, Spain and Espargaro continues to show signs of the form that handed him sixth place in Portugal in round three.
Max Neukirchner on the MZ-FTR has scored World Championship points in every round except Portugal while his team-mate Anthony West is looking to Assen to add to his only point-scoring finish of the year in Spain.
Both Ratthapark Wilairot (Thai Honda Singha SAG) and Mattia Pasini (Ioda Racing Project FTR) will be out to add to their sole, point-scoring finishes of the year, both at the damp Jerez round in April.
American Kenny Noyes (FOGI/GP Tech Team) and Santiago Hernandez, on the SAG Team FTR, chase their first points of 2011 by targeting top 15 finishes in Saturday's 24-lap race at the 2.822-mile circuit.
"Since the last round at Silverstone we've been able to focus on the areas of the M211 that can help the guys improve and we hope that those improvements will be evident in Holland this week," said FTR's Steve Bones. "We're very pleased with the progress of the youngsters and as the series heads towards the halfway stage I'd like to think we can also further assist Simon Corsi and the Ioda Racing Project's Бид to land the World Championship."
More, from a press release issued by JiR Moto2 Team:
It's time for a legendary fixture on the World Championship calendar – the Dutch Grand Prix at the Assen circuit – considered by many to be 'the cathedral' of motorcycle racing. The current configuration of the circuit has removed some of the charm of the Dutch event, but that exciting, final chicane remains, maintaining also the position of the finish line. The Dutch TT has often been a turning point of the Championship and another of its peculiarities is that, as usual, it takes place on Saturday instead of Sunday and in the last week of June.
The JiR Moto2 Team has used the time available after Silverstone to prepare some improvements to the aerodynamics of the official MotoBI ridden by Alex De Angelis, in view of the upcoming high-speed circuits such as Mugello and Brno
The performance of our bikes is not at issue, our technical level is comparable to the competitors and yet team and rider still have trouble exploiting at its best the package they have available. Compared to last year what has changed is the approach, rider and technicians need to adjust to the material they have and from this race on this is what they will have to do to change the results we have had so far. You just need to look at each qualifying session this year to understand that the rider can not put his best performance in this session and this affects also the outcome in the race. Compared to last year significant changes have been made to the chassis, having used the 2010 version in Barcelona from the second free practice session and having recorded the third-best time says a lot about the level of competitiveness of our bikes, just look at the pace of the race winner.
I'm happy to go to Assen because it is a track I really like. At Silverstone, I paid the price of not knowing the track well, while the TT is a historic circuit for which I already have the references and so I expect to be able immediately to get on the pace and push to the limit. Pushing hard from the start will be the priority of the whole team of course we must work hard to further investigate the issue of the engine's power that I feel is still not at 100%, while in Thursday's pre-weekend briefing we'll decide whether to opt for 2010 or 2011 frame. Both bases are good, we have strengths and weaknesses in each one of them so we'll make the necessary assessments considering the race strategies and track conditions and weather. Needless to say I'm anxious to have a good GP weekend at Assen.

Source: National Milk Producers Federation news release Arlington, VA – In its ongoing effort to revitalize and build awareness of the dairy industry's iconic REAL® Seal, the National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) is introducing a cartoon character modeled after the logo. "The REAL® Seal has been around for nearly 40 years," said Jim Mulhern, NMPF's chief operating officer. "This character is intended to bring the importance of looking for REAL® dairy products and foods made with REAL® dairy products to life." The first order of business will be naming the character, according to Mulhern, who said a name will be chosen through an online challenge. "We want kids to learn how to differentiate real dairy products and foods made with real American dairy products from the vegetable- and nut-based pretenders," said Mulhern. "To highlight this important distinction, we are launching a campaign to name the character." Names may be submitted through the REAL® Seal website: www.realseal.com. All entries must be received by Aug. 31, 2013. The top three names entered will be posted in September on the REAL® Seal Facebook page and subject to a vote. The name with the most votes will be declared the winner. "We're really excited about this approach to helping kids and parents learn to look for REAL® dairy products and foods containing REAL® dairy products," said Mulhern. A cartoon featuring the character is already featured on the homepage of the REAL® Seal website. Back to news
