November 28, 2012 09:00 ET
LAKE FOREST, CA--(Marketwire - Nov 28, 2012) - TRIMEDYNE, INC. (OTCBB: TMED) today announced it has patented and filed patent applications covering several new laser devices ("Devices") designed to treat medical conditions that affect millions of people in the United States and many more millions of people throughout the world.
To establish the safety and efficacy of a new medical device in the treatment of a medical condition requires a large, expensive, randomized, controlled clinical trial, usually involving 300 or more patients. Each of such clinical trials can cost $5 million or more and each can take two years or longer to complete. Once completed, the publication of a paper in a peer-reviewed medical journal can take an additional six months or longer, and obtaining Medicare reimbursement for the therapy can take another nine months or longer. Medical devices usually are not launched into the market until Medicare, other third party and foreign government reimbursement are available.
Since Trimedyne cannot afford to fund a number of large, randomized, controlled clinical trials to prove the safety and efficacy of its new Devices in the treatment of multiple medical conditions, Trimedyne plans to organize seven (7) subsidiaries, each of which will attempt to secure $12 to $18 million of funding in Private Offerings (pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D of the SEC) to conduct large, randomized, controlled clinical trials of the new Devices in the treatment of one to three of these medical conditions. If the proposed financing of any of the subsidiaries is consummated, which cannot be assured, we expect Trimedyne will hold a 50% interest in each of such subsidiaries.
Trimedyne's Holmium Lasers and new patented and patent pending Devices, which will be used in the clinical trials to treat these new medical conditions if their funding is consummated, have already been cleared for sale in the United States by the FDA. Several of these Devices are already CE Marked and we expect to have the others CE Marked for sale in the European Union. Several of these Devices are and we expect the others will be registered for sale in countries which require their own registration of medical devices, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, India, Indonesia, Korea, Mexico, Russia, Taiwan, Turkey and elsewhere. However, Japan requires a local clinical trial for registration of medical devices with its Ministry of Health, which is an expensive and lengthy process.
The names of the subsidiaries, the conditions Trimedyne believes its Lasers and new Devices will be able to treat more safely and effectively than currently available drugs or medical devices, the number of people estimated to suffer from these conditions in the United States and our estimate of the cost of their current treatment in the United States, to the best of our knowledge, are as follows (comparable Medicare reimbursed therapies are indicated with an asterisk):
1 Estimated U.S. and foreign number of patients and cost.
This is an extremely ambitious program for a small company, and there is no assurance Trimedyne will be able to obtain $12 to $18 million of financing for any of these subsidiaries in Private Placements, that the results of any of the clinical trials will be successful or that Trimedyne will be able to conclude arrangements with any large, established companies in the healthcare field to market any of the new Devices or acquire any of the subsidiaries.
If and when the clinical trials are concluded and if the results of any subsidiary's clinical trials are successful, which cannot be assured, Trimedyne intends to register a spin-off of all or part of its shares of such subsidiaries as a dividend to its shareholders.
Since Trimedyne is commencing the distribution of Business Plans of the above subsidiaries to venture capital firms, private equity groups and institutional investors on a confidential basis in Private Offerings, Trimedyne is making this announcement to assure that its plans are properly disclosed to the public and to avoid prospective investors trading in Trimedyne's shares based on non-public information.
Trimedyne manufactures proprietary Holmium lasers and patented and patent pending fiber optic laser devices to treat a variety of medical conditions in minimally invasive, procedures, many of which are performed on an outpatient basis at substantially less cost than conventional surgery.

That's looking too closely at the details. After all, if it were not for the desire to transmit the identifying information, WS-RM would not need a special URI - it could and would use the existing anonymous URI. I don't see any need for a slew of new "magic" URIs. I don't like "magic" values - anonymous is sensible, and none is acceptable, but encouraging the creation of more is a very bad idea. Magic values suggest that we got the design wrong and that we need these magic values to indicate that we're deviating from the original design. Tony Rogers email@example.com <blocked::mailto:email@example.com> ________________________________ From: email@example.com [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] On Behalf Of Doug Davis Sent: Wednesday, 4 October 2006 7:11 To: email@example.com Cc: [WS-A]; firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: Re: What problem are we trying to solve? Bob, A couple of points: - A4 - if I'm reading your text right, I believe you're saying that other specs can define their own replyTo header. And this is true. However, this means that WSA is extensible by allowing people to avoid WSA. Funny :-) - Despite all of the talk around CR33, the issue is not about transmitting identifying information. Nor is it about whether or not identifying information should be placed in the URI or in some Reference Parameter/Property. The issue around CR33 is whether or not WSA will allow other specs to define new 'special' non-addressable URIs and allow them to be used in the wsa:ReplyTo/FaultTo. That's it. It doesn't matter what the semantics of those URIs are, it doesn't matter how people are going to use them - its much simpler than that. Can other specs do exactly what WSA did and define new URIs? Any discussion about whether or not a spec made the right choice to do that is not relevant. WSA needs to answer the very simple question from a more abstract point of view and once that answer is found then I think everything else will fall into place. So, does the WSA WG think that no other spec, for all time, will ever need to define a new special non-addressable URI that may be used in ReplyTo/FaultTo? (like ws-rm or ws-discovery did) thanks, -Doug "Bob Freund" <email@example.com> Sent by: firstname.lastname@example.com 10/03/2006 09:01 AM To "[WS-A]" <firstname.lastname@example.com> cc Subject What problem are we trying to solve? This is a list of the results, as I heard them, of our discussion on 2006-10-02 related to our response to CR33 Exposition: It seems that the desire inferred by the issue is that an endpoint would like to transmit identifying information (or perhaps some other parametric information) in a one way message, and that one way message is intended to be used to "open the backchannel" upon which may be transmitted information that is determined in part by the identifying or parametric information transmitted in the originating message. In the specific use case presented, the issue originator proposes that this identifying or parametric information be passed in the replyTo uri as a special form of "anonymous". CR33 states that the WS-Addressing WSDL binding CR document would create interoperability issues with their implementation since it does not permit a form of anonymous other than the literal "anonymous" to be represented in WSDL. In the WS-Addressing Teleconference of 2006-10-02, there was a brainstorming session intended to clarify exactly what problem the WS-Addressing working group was trying to solve related to its resolution of CR33 since several proposals related to a direct response to CR33 have failed as yet to gain consensus. Alternatives mentioned: (please feel free to come up with more if you have a better idea) A1) During the progress of the WS-Addressing working group, a feature known as Reference Properties was removed from the original submission. If this were to be added back, then this could be used to convey such identifying or parametric information. This would imply changes to both rec level specifications as well as the WSDL binding. It is not clear if these might be "breaking changes". A2) The WS-Addressing specifications include a feature known as Reference Parameters which are created by the epr minter which are considered to be "opaque" to all but the minter. Outside of the WS-Addressing "layer" there may be no such constraint. Reference Parameters might be used to convey this identifying or parametric information. Note that there is not general agreement that WS-Addressing is a "layer" or if it is a set of kit parts which may be used at any layer. This might imply a clarifying change to WS-Addressing specifications. A3) WS-Addressing includes a feature known as "From" which contains a uri. There are no behavioral constraints imposed by "From" and potentially anything that might be represented as a uri might be conveyed. This might imply a clarifying change to WS-Addressing specifications. A4) WS-Addressing defined a limited set of special URLs which mean specific things to WS-Addressing when used in replyTo. These are "anonymous" and "none". If the behavior specified by WS-Addressing is not desired, then the authors of other specifications might specify their own forms of replyTo semantics appropriate to their application without WS-Addressing implications. This would imply that CR33 be closed with no action. A5) It was suggested that there is wide latitude in what might be contained in a SOAP header and the authors might be able to use such a means to convey the desired identifying or parametric information. This would imply that CR33 be closed with no action. A6) WS-Addressing Core and SOAP binding are fine as-is, but we just need to fix the WSDL binding or perhaps come up with a WSDL cum policy related change. For proposals related to this alternative, please refer to the issue list. For the purposes of this thread please identify in the subject line the alternative A[1-n] referenced or "exposition" if you feel the problem statement needs improvement.

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack made the following statement on the submission of the Korea, Colombia and Panama trade agreements and the benefits to the U.S. agricultural economy:
"Congress must now take action on an important part of President Obama's jobs agenda: new trade agreements with Colombia, Panama and South Korea and trade adjustment assistance to help train workers for the 21st century economy. When approved, these agreements will clear the way for new American exports around the world, help create jobs and provide new income opportunities for our nation's agricultural producers, small businesses, and rural communities. For American agriculture, passage of these agreements means over $2.3 billion in additional exports, supporting nearly 20,000 jobs here at home.
"Congress should work swiftly to pass these trade agreements. Currently, Korea, Columbia and Panama have approved or are negotiating trade agreements with a host of other nations. Completing our agreements will level the playing field and secure markets for America's farmers, ranchers, growers and producers ahead of competitors in the global marketplace.
"Over the past two years, as the nation has rebounded from the worst recession in decades, American agriculture has shattered trade records and created jobs. And these agreements will build on that success, helping provide higher incomes for producers, more opportunities for small businesses owners and jobs for folks who package, ship, and market agricultural products. If we're going to get America working again, then these trade agreements are critical. We cannot afford to leave these jobs on the table."
Fact sheets on how all three trade agreements will benefit U.S. agriculture are available here: Korea, Colombia and Panama.

Sensex falls over 64 points, down for fourth day in a row
The benchmark BSE Sensex fell over 91 points in early trade on Monday on sustained selling by funds and investors amid a weakening trend in other Asian markets.business Updated: Jan 06, 2014 17:19 IST
The Sensex fell for fourth straight session and closed over 64 points down today hurt by losses in ICICI Bank, Infosys and RIL shares as investors continued to adopt a cautious stance ahead of quarterly earnings.
Data showing the country's service sector output again falling in December and negative cues from global markets also affected the domestic sentiment, traders said.
However, midcap and smallcap shares continued to outshine its larger peers.
The 30-share Sensex fell 64.03 points, or 0.31%, to 20,787.30 as 21 constituents ended in the red. Intra-day, it had touched the low of 20,721.98. Tata Power, SBI and Hero MotoCorp were among the biggest losers.
The BSE benchmark has now lost over 383 points in this calendar year and is yet to close on a positive note so far.
The 50-share NSE index Nifty closed down 19.70 points, or 0.32%, to end at 6,191.45. However, SX40 index of MCX Stock Exchange ended 6.29 points up at 12,390.96.
Earlier today, the HSBC/Markit Purchasing Managers Index for the services industry fell to 46.7 in December from 47.2 in November, registering the sixth consecutive monthly drop in output levels.
Later, government data showed gross direct tax collections rose 12.33 % to Rs 4.81 lakh crore during the first nine months of this financial year.
Infosys, which fell 1.44%, is the first among bluechips to kick off December quarter earnings when it releases earnings on January 10.
The rupee continued to be sluggish and was last trading at 62.35 levels against the dollar when stock markets closed.
The BSE Midcap index closed 0.35% higher while the Smallcap barometer jumped 0.95%.
In the smallcap space, Mastek shares surged over 11% on ahead of the January 8 board meet to consider equity buyback. Financial Technologies jumped more than 10 %.
Sectorally, the BSE Banking sector index suffered the most by losing 1.13%, followed by Realty index (0.71%), IT index (0.49%), Power index (0.41%) and Oil & Gas index (0.21%).

Cristina Ferrare Shares Model Recipes for Healthy, Fresh Meals
Learn how to make watermelon salad, grilled lamb chops, strawberry shortcake and more
2013 Crown Media United States, LLC/Alexx Henry Studios/Jeremy Lee
She regularly graced the covers of Vogue, Harper's Bazaar and Cosmopolitan during the 1970s, but former supermodel Cristina Ferrare refused to diet —a t least back then.
"I modeled during the era of Twiggy, when most models were bone thin, but I never gave up food," she says now. "Cheryl Tiegs and I changed the landscape. We were lean, but we weren't skinny."
All that changed when Ferrare, now 63, went through menopause, an experience she chronicles in her memoir Okay, So I Don't Have a Headache: What I Learned (and What All Women Need to Know) About Hormones, PMS, Stress, Diet, Menopause — and Sex.
Your body changes.
You diet and exercise and you still have to struggle [with your weight]. I've gotten to the point where it's just about being healthy and making healthier choices for myself."
These days, Ferrare showcases those healthier lifestyle choices as cohost of the Emmy-nominated show Home & Family on the Hallmark Channel. For two hours every morning, she dishes up advice on style, family, home and health with cohost Mark Stein. "It's the nicest, happiest place I've ever worked," she says. "I go to work and laugh every day. I feel very blessed."
The mother of seven (two with ex-husband John DeLorean, two with current husband Tony Thomopoulos and three stepchildren), she also cooks almost every day.
She goes for easy meals like pasta with fresh tomatoes, homemade soups and tortilla wraps, using basic staples she always has on hand: chicken stock, rice, pasta, fresh beans, seasonal vegetables. "I grew up in an Italian family and I'm married to a Greek man, so all of my fondest memories revolve around food," she says. "Cooking and my family are my passions.
"I try to make sure that everything I cook is clean," Ferrare continues. "Nothing out of a can, nothing processed, and everything I buy is organic. There are a thousand ways to feed your family well without resorting to processed foods."
Watermelon Salad
Reprinted with permission from Cristina Ferrare
Serves 4
- 1 16-ounce bottle balsamic vinegar
- 1 5- to 6-pound seedless watermelon
- Greek feta cheese, cut into 12 pieces, each 1/2-inch thick and 1-1/4-inch wide
- 1 small red onion, sliced thin
- 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1 cup microgreens (optional)
1. To make the balsamic syrup, pour the whole bottle of vinegar into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat to medium-high and continue to boil until the vinegar starts to thicken and forms a syruplike consistency, about 15 to 20 minutes. Be careful not to let it thicken too much, or it will end up a thick, black goop. The best way to check is to use a wooden spoon: If the syrup coats the back of the spoon, it's ready to remove from the heat. Let it cool to room temperature before you store it in the refrigerator. It will last up to 2 months in the refrigerator.
2. Slice the watermelon into 2-inch-thick round slices. Take your best 4 round slices and cut a 3-by-3-inch rectangle from the middle of each. Wrap all 4 pieces in plastic wrap and cool in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Reserve the rest of the melon for another use.
3. To assemble the salad, place one 3-by-3-inch piece of watermelon on a plate and slice it into 1-inch pieces. You should have 9 squares.
4. Add 3 pieces of the feta cheese over the watermelon squares, then 4 to 5 slices of red onion. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil, add 5 to 6 fresh mint leaves and scatter a handful of microgreens over the top. Drizzle balsamic syrup over all.
5. Repeat with the remaining three servings and serve immediately.

Grilled Lamb Chops With Roasted Potatoes
Reprinted with permission from Kokkari Restaurant, San Francisco
Tara Donne
Serves 6
Grilled Lamb Chops
- 2 8-inch racks of lamb, about 11/2 pounds each
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 2 teaspoons dried Greek oregano, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Sea salt
- 2 lemons, halved, plus 4 lemon wedges for garnish
- Kokkari Dressing (see recipe below)
- Fresh oregano sprigs for garnish
1. Ask the butcher to trim the fat cap (the thick sheet of fat on the outside of each rack) but to leave a thin layer of fat. Some butchers like to "French" the ribs, trimming away the meat between the rib ends to leave the bone exposed, but this meat is tasty and should be left in place. Ask the butcher to cut between the ribs to make a total of 16 single-rib chops.
2. Put the chops on a work surface and pound the meat lightly with your fist to make it evenly thick and to crack the external band of fat. Combine the garlic powder, pepper and dried oregano in a small bowl. Press this seasoning blend into both sides of the meat, including the meat on the bones. You can grill the lamb immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 12 hours (bring to room temperature before grilling).
3. Prepare a hot charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill to high. Just before grilling, drizzle the seasoned chops with the olive oil, using your fingers to coat the meat evenly, then season with salt. Grill the chops, turning once, for about 3 minutes on each side for medium rare. Squeeze the lemon halves over them just before taking them off the grill.
4. Serve hot, drizzled with dressing (see recipe below) and garnished with lemon wedges and oregano sprigs.

Strawberry Shortcake
Adapted from cristinaferrarecooks.com
Tara Donne
Serves 6
For the strawberry coulis:
- 2 quarts fresh strawberries, hulled, washed and sliced
- 1 cup fresh orange juice
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
For the whipped cream:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the shortcake:
- 13/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 2 quarts fresh strawberries, hulled, washed and sliced
- 1 tablespoon lemon or orange zest
- 10 to 12 fresh mint leaves
1. To make the coulis, combine the sliced strawberries, orange juice and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook until the sugar has melted, about 5 minutes. Strain through a wire mesh into a saucepan. Mix the cornstarch and water together until smooth. Heat the strained strawberries to medium. Add the cornstarch mixture and stir until slightly thickened. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature. Pour into an airtight container and place in the refrigerator to chill (the coulis should be served cold). The coulis can be made 3 days ahead.
2. To make the whipped cream, combine the whipping cream and vanilla in a mixing bowl fitted with a wire whisk. Whip until stiff peaks form. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.
3. To make the shortcakes, have all the ingredients ready. Preheat the oven to 425° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
4. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Cut the butter into the flour mixture using a pastry blender, and keep cutting until the butter is the size of small peas.
5. Whisk the cream and yogurt together. Add it to the flour mixture and blend with a fork until the dough comes together. Do not overmix or the dough will be tough. Pat out the dough, on a lightly floured surface, into a 1-inch-thick rectangle. Using a 21/2- or 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut (do not twist) as many shortcakes as you can from the rectangle. Place the shortcakes on the baking sheet. Gently press the scraps together and cut out more shortcakes. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
6. When ready to serve, slice the shortcakes in half horizontally and place the bottom half on a dessert plate. Pile on as many fresh sliced strawberries as you like. Pour 4 to 5 tablespoons of strawberry coulis over the top of the strawberries, sprinkle with a pinch of lemon or orange zest, add a dollop of whipped cream and some fresh mint, and top with the other half of the shortcake.

Tomato-Mozzarella Tower With Shallot- Bacon Dressing
Adapted from cristinaferrarecooks.com
Tara Donne
Serves 6
- 6 slices really good white bread
- 1 pint baby Roma tomatoes, red and yellow, for garnish
- 6 slices bacon
- 2 tablespoons finely chop ped shallots
- 2 tablespoons apple-cider vinegar
- 6 heirloom tomatoes; make sure they are uniform in size (if you can't find heirlooms, use regular organic tomatoes)
- 2 (6-ounce) packages buffalo mozzarella
- 10 fresh basil leaves
- Fine kosher salt
- Cracked pepper
1. Cut 6 bread rounds using a 41/2-inch cookie cutter. Set aside.
2. Slice the baby Roma tomatoes in half lengthwise. Set aside.
3. Fry the bacon in a skillet until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Lower the heat under the skillet to medium, add the shallots to the bacon drippings and sauté for 30 seconds or until the shallots start to turn a bit crispy.
4. Add the apple-cider vinegar. With a wooden spoon, stir well, scraping the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Pour into a small bowl and set aside to use as dressing.
5. Return the skillet to the stove and reheat over medium heat. Add as many bread rounds as will fit in the pan. Lightly toast both sides of the bread. Set aside.
6. Crumble the cooked bacon into small bits and set aside in a small bowl. Cut the heirloom tomatoes into slices slightly less than 1/2-inch thick. You should have 18 slices that are consistent in size. You will have some tomato left over.
7. Cut the buffalo mozzarella into 12 slices, slightly less than 1/2-inch thick each and consistent in size.
8. Stack all 10 of the basil leaves on top of one another, roll them into a cigarette shape, and slice thin.
9. To assemble the tower, make an assembly line with all of your ingredients: the bread, heirloom tomatoes, salt, pepper, shallot-bacon dressing, bacon bits, sliced mozzarella and basil.
10. Place 1 toasted bread round on a salad plate, add a slice of heirloom tomato and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle on several tiny drops of shallot-bacon dressing and some crumbled bacon, letting a little fall onto the plate as well. Top with a slice of mozzarella cheese and then another slice of tomato. Repeat this process until you have 3 slices of heirloom tomato and 2 slices of mozzarella cheese in your tower.
11. On each tower's top tomato slice, sprinkle more bacon bits, then lightly drizzle a bit more dressing, including some on the plate for a professional look. Garnish with a few strips of basil.
12. Add 5 to 6 baby Roma tomato halves to the plate and sprinkle with a pinch of kosher salt. Repeat for the remaining 5 towers. Serve.

I've been emailing back and forth with Jake Darwen for the past few years now, like me he's from New Zealand and has made the move to Australia to pursue his dream of shooting skate photos. Our mutual friend Pedro Day told me that Jake lives off 10 dollars a day and is sleeping on the couch, that's the best internship I've ever heard of! It's obvious Jake has the passion, all you have to do is look at his photos to see that. All the technical advice I may have given him means nothing without some fire, and to be honest when I look at the photos he emails me or that he's been getting published it gives me a solid spark. I'm truly stoked that Jake is getting recognized for his talents and I can't wait to finally meet him—I'm hoping he can give me a few pointers.—Dave Chami
How long have you been shooting skating and what got you into it?
I've been shooting skateboarding photos for about four years. It's a pretty cliché story about how I got into it: but by the time I was 16, I had a few bad injuries from skating. My mum started to get annoyed at me because she would always have to take time off work to help me at home with my broken leg or broken ankle etc. Every time I got a new injury she would always ask me why I continued to skateboard given the fact I'd broken my wrist, ankle, snapped my shin in half and ruptured my ACL. Following my knee reconstruction, the doctor told me I wouldn't even be able to stand on a skateboard for at least 12 months. I couldn't fathom the thought of not skating for that long so I weighed up the options and decided that I would try to start shooting photos instead, so that I could still go out skating and stay in the loop. A couple of weeks later I went halves with my parents on a Nikon D40x and for the rest of that year I couldn't roll around or anything so I'd just drive my car around shooting skate photos with my mates and get them printed at the local camera shop every few weeks. A year later when I was able to skate again, I didn't have the same passion to skate as I did for shooting photos of skating. As time went on, I started sending my photos to Mark Barber (a renowned NZ skate photographer) and he'd always take time to help me out by critiquing my work, telling me what I needed to work on, what the best gear was to buy, etc. He's continued to help me right through until now so I'm really grateful for that. He was the editor at New Zealand Skateboarder at the time and helped me get my first image printed in the magazine. From then until now I've been chasing that same feeling of getting an image printed that both you and the skater are happy with. The images are priceless memories that are immortalized in print forever. That's the main reason why I try and go out shooting everyday.
Is there one photograph or photographer that inspired you to take up photography?
It's hard to just name one because I look up to so many different photographers work ie. Brian Gaberman, Anthony Acosta, Mike O'Meally, Steve Gourlay, but if I had to name one, it would have to be Dave Chami and his work. He's also from New Zealand so it's inspiring for me to see how far you can really go shooting skateboarding from living in such a small city at the bottom of the world. One of his photos that stands out to me the most is the photo of Ben Gore doing the frontside nosegrind pop out with San Francisco in the backround. That image is timeless.
What's the best and worst advice you've been given on photography?
The best advice I've been given is to shoot every image like it's your last. I feel like if you're doing that, you're always trying to progress and shoot everything the best you can, trying to find new angles, trying different lighting techniques, etc. The worst advice was to shoot party photos.
Do you have a favorite photo of your own?
What's the most interesting story behind one of your photos?
For a few weekends, Tom Kelly and I tried to get a photo of him skating this roof bowl, which is located just off one of the main roads in Auckland City, so it's always congested with people. Every time the weekend came, it would rain or be way too windy to try climbing up it. We were out skating on a Friday afternoon and the weather was crystal clear, there was no wind or anything so we just decided to not let the opportunity go to waste and checked it out. When we got there, the sidewalks were overflowing with people just finishing work and the roads were filled with cars because it was peak hour traffic. We had to be quick and make sure that no one caught Tom skating on the roof so he climbed up, gave me the thumbs up and started trying to get this hurricane. A couple of near death attempts later he had landed it and not one person had even seen him on the roof. Everyone was just looking at me wondering why I was lying on the ground shooting photos of them when they were walking towards me.
What was your first photo in TWS and how did it come about?
My first photo in TWS was of Dennis Durrant doing a frontside feeble in Brisbane City published in the current December 2012 international issue.It all came about from sending some of my photos to Dave Chami for critique; he told me that he'd pass one of the photos of Dennis Durrant onto the editors at TWS, but that he couldn't promise anything. I didn't hear back for a while and then Joey Shigeo sent me an email asking for an image of Dennis for the upcoming international issue. Luckily, there was more of a chance to get something printed in the magazine for his 'Check In' because Dennis has recently been living in Brisbane for the last 8 months, so we'd been skating a bunch since he's been back. So it ended up working out perfectly. A massive thanks to Joey and Dave for helping me get my first image printed in TWS! Hyped!
What advice would you give to up and coming skate photogs?
I'm still asking for advice all the time from other photographers, but a piece of advice that I can pass on from what I've learned is to always be motivated. Even if someone is asking you to shoot a photo at six in the morning or cut a kink off a rail at midnight, if they're keen to do it then you have to be on the same vibe that they're on. Also, if you're ever struggling with photos, don't hesitate to ask for critique from another photographer—you'll be surprised about how many people are willing to help out!
Do you prefer digital or film?
They both have their pros and cons. I do love the purity that film produces in an image but I've never really had enough money to peruse shooting with it. These days, it's so much easier to just whip out your digital SLR and know what your photo looks like right then and there—the only disadvantage of that is losing the whole excitement factor of waiting to see how your images are going to look like before you get them developed.
What's in your camera bag? Favorite piece of gear?
In my camera bag is:
Nikon D300s
Nikkor 10.5mm Fisheye
Nikkor 50mm F1.4
Nikkor 85mm 1.8
5 x Pocket Wizard Plus ll's
1 x Pocketwizard Flex TT5
Skate Tool
And in my other bag is:
1 x 400w/s Lumedyne Action Pack
2 x Sunpak 120j flashes
2 x Nikon SB 800 flashes
My favorite piece of gear in my bag is the Nikkor 50mm F1.4
Do you plan on making the move to the US to shoot?
That's what the dream has always been: to live and shoot skate photos in the States. Hopefully one day it will work out.

NOTE: This is a Mets-oriented blog, but I sometimes venture into New York baseball and baseball in general. Today is the sad anniversary of the tragic death of Yankees catcher Thurman Munson. A long time ago, I interviewed Munson's widow, Diana, about that day a long time ago, It's not about the Mets, but of a New York baseball icon. I hope you'll enjoy.
Thanks. John
It was one of those bitter cold days. The kind where the wind whips your face, where your fingers ache and even your eyelashes hurt.
Diana Munson doesn't remember the year but recalls the afternoon when she and her husband, Thurman Munson, the captain catcher of the New York Yankees, were running errands in Manhattan and drove into a gas station.
"The guy wouldn't come out, so Thurman got out and started pumping the gas," Diana said. "He was wearing jeans and a flannel jacket and boots – kind of a typical Ohio guy out of place in New York at the time."
Diana sat in the car as her husband pumped the gas and a car pulled in behind theirs.
"I remember, the guy said, `Hey buddy, when you're done with that fill this one up,' " Diana said. "If he only knew who he was talking to – he never would have believed it. The cutest thing about this story is he filled it up for him."
Diana Munson's voice paused, it softened, it became reflective.
"Those are the things about him that I just loved," she said. "It's one of my favorite stories about him. I think about that a lot."
Her memories are more frequent now as she is reminded of the cruelest day of her life – on August 2, 1979, her husband was killed in a plane accident near their offseason Canton, Ohio, home. It was a Thursday, an off day for the Yankees, and Munson was practicing take-offs and landings in his twin-engine Cessna Citation.
Later that day, he was to meet her at an office to sign papers dedicating "Munson Street" in a nearby housing development. However, Munson was always busy and for him to be running late wasn't unusual. Diana dismissed it and went to the grocery store and continued home.
"I was unloading the groceries and the people from the airport came to my house," Diana said, her voice trailing to a whisper.
"Nothing has ever compared to it in my life," she said of the chill – far more numbing than the one she experienced that day in New York – that ran down her spine.
"I've lost lots of people in my life, but it was the way that it happened. You're not supposed to lose someone who is that young. You're not supposed to lose someone on a beautiful day … not in the middle of baseball season. Thurman was the best father that I had ever watched. Looking at those little kids and knowing what they were about to go through just about killed me."
Within minutes, the news was on the wire.
Yankees reliever Goose Gossage was getting dressed for a night on the town when he got the call from owner George Steinbrenner. Bobby Murcer was "stunned when I heard the news … I cried a lot at that time." Yankees first baseman Chris Chambliss was driving with his wife when he heard the news on the radio.
Former Yankees manager Joe Torre, then the manager of the Mets, was in the dugout when the message flashed on the scoreboard.
"It was up on the board," Torre said. "Just shock. Lee Mazzilli was in the batter's box. He got out of the box and looked at me, `What do I do?' It was such an eerie sensation."
That sensation has never left Diana Munson, but, "it took me a long time to come to peace with this." Her memories of Munson and the life they shared have softened. Some – like the one at the gas station – have aged like a fine wine.
She remembers a thoughtful husband and loving father to Tracy, Kelly and Michael. Sometimes, she remembers that Munson considered quitting flying. That's not so pleasant … it gnaws at her. She remembers when she first knew she was going to marry him: "I was 10 years old at the time and I wrote Mrs. Thurman Munson on my notebook."
Murcer and Gossage recalled Munson's work ethic, and Diana remembered him getting up at 6 in the morning to caddy at a golf course, then cut lawns before going to baseball practice. She recalls the three-sport star at Canton's Lehman High School, and that he loved real estate and listening to Neil Diamond.
"My poor children knew every Neil Diamond song before they knew their nursery rhymes," she said.
She remembers his laugh – "always the loudest one in the room," she said – and the time he drove to a Brooklyn church from Canton in a snowstorm for a Christmas party to distribute toys to underprivileged children. Munson brought with him the Yankees' fine money for that season, nearly $5,000.
She remembers for months after his death receiving letters from charities, thanking her for Munson's generosity. "Believe it or not, there were many that I had never heard of," she said. "But, that was like him. He never did it for the recognition, he did it for right reasons."
Sometimes, her memories, like at Old Timer's Games, drift to the days when Munson was a special baseball player.
The public memories of Munson are of a gruff, grouchy, squat catcher. They are of his feuds with Reggie Jackson – "The straw that stirs the drink" – and Carlton Fisk, the taller, thinner, chiseled catcher for the Boston Red Sox.
The Yankee championship teams of 1977 and 1978 were loaded with stars – Jackson, Chambliss, Graig Nettles and Lou Piniella – but Munson was captain. He was a six-time All-Star and the Most Valuable Player in the American League in 1976. He hit .512, .320 and .320 again in his three World Series appearances. He was the 1970 Rookie of the Year and hit over .300 five times.
Nothing meant more to him than being a Yankee captain.
"He loved the Yankees. His heart was a true Yankee heart," Diana said. "He didn't want to be captain because whenever you single yourself out like that you feel like you're not as much a part of the team. He was uncomfortable with that, but at the same time he was so proud of that."
Munson was the real straw in the drink.
"He was the leader on those teams and everybody knew it," Murcer said. "We all looked up to him because of his toughness and his ability to produce in the clutch. He had such an uncanny ability to come through when the pressure was on."
Twenty years later, Yankees catcher Joe Girardi – now the team's manager – saw for himself when he was channel surfing when on his screen popped the unmistakable image of Yankee Stadium.
"It was Classic Sports, and they were showing the Kansas City game," Girardi said of the pivotal Game 3 of the 1978 American League Championship Series.
"I've heard a lot about that game and what he did. I wanted to see how he played so I kept watching."
The series was tied 1-1 and the Yankees trailed 5-4 in the eighth inning when Munson – not normally known as a power hitter – crushed a line-drive, two-run homer off Royals reliever Doug Bird to give the Yankees a 6-5 victory.
Munson was named Most Valuable Player in the series and the Yankees went on to beat Los Angeles in six games in the World Series.
Hall of Famer George Brett played in that game. His Royals and the Yankees were one of baseball's hottest rivalries in the 1970s.
"We hated the Yankees," Brett said. "But we also respected them – and we all respected Thurman. He was so tough in the clutch and we feared him because he usually came through. However, the thing I'll remember most about Thurman wasn't that home run, but of something that happened in a fight we had against them.
"I slid hard into third base and Nettles and I started shoving each other. The benches cleared and it got real ugly. I remember being on the ground and Thurman was on top of me. I thought, `Uh, oh, he's going to crush me,' but all he did was whisper in my ear, `Don't worry George, I won't let anything happen to you.' "
Diana Munson said she gets sad when she returns to Yankee Stadium because it's a reminder of what was and what could have been. It will be emotional for her tomorrow when she returns as the Yankees honor Munson on the anniversary of his death. The feelings will be a mix of pain and pride when she goes into the clubhouse and sees Munson's locker that remains intact in his honor.
When the fans cheer her, they will be cheering their memories of her husband as a Yankee. But, if she hears it, she'll love the Brett story, because it's an appreciation of the man she loved – and always will.

Union Square Events, restaurateur Danny Meyer's catering arm, sent these items to me this morning, along with instructions for how to eat it:
Start with Hot Bread Kitchen Focaccia, sliced into two-inch squares
Spread liberally with Lynnhaven Goat Farm Chevre
Top with housemade Winter Fruit & Vegetable Chutney
Pairs beautifully with Shinn Sauvignon Blanc 2012,
recommended by Master Sommelier John Ragan
Cheers to the season!
I sort of followed their directions. I didn't slice the focaccia into squares but kept it in the rectangles in which it was sent. And I had it for lunch, in the office, where it would have been inappropriate to have it with a bottle of wine.
So I put the wine in my drawer with the four bottles of wine I got earlier this week and the bottle of New Jersey rum I got last week from a public relations company that also gave me a bunch of coffee and tea from a manufacturer they represent. That's strewn in packets on my desk, next to cookbooks I've been sent, menus I've saved from dinners and the contents of various gift bags I've received at the restaurant openings, liquor promotions and assorted other parties I've been invited to recently.
This fall has been an unusually robust season for food and drink being sent to the office. You can ask my colleagues, who have been treated to all sorts of ciders and pies and cheese and tea.
This can be a problem. It's definitely a first world problem. More than that, it's a problem of an over-indulged food writer, and I get no sympathy for it.
Still, it can be a problem. Upper management periodically sends a semi-official shudder of disapproval at the state of my cubicle, cluttered as it is with spices and Korean energy drinks and fancy bottled water and jars of artisanal preserves. It's all wrapped up and unlikely to attract vermin, but I have a higher threshold of tolerance for clutter than most people, and so I tend to store things haphazardly.
Then the shudder's sent my way and I straighten things up.
I freely acknowledge that it looks unseemly. I might as well, because people have no qualms about judging me.
If they saw my apartment, they'd probably call the police.
Last summer I hired a cleaning service to help me clear things out and straighten things up. It was a two-person job, not including me, and the women sent by the service were not shy about their disdain for me.
"Mucho alcohol," one of them observed.
If she spoke English, or if I spoke Spanish, I would have told her that people just send me alcohol; that if I were a drunk there wouldn't be any alcohol, but since I exercise moderation in my alcohol consumption I have a lot of it, and that she should get off my back.
Her associate handed me a pamphlet about Jesus as they left. I'm not sure if she does that everywhere she cleans or if she thought the state of my domicile meant I also lived in a state of spiritual disarray, lost in the wilderness without a savior.
The clutter's getting worse. Fall is always the busy restaurant season in New York, with openings and parties and a general rush of self-promotion, but this fall has been the busiest in recent memory.
I'm not sure why. One person from a different publication here at Penton suggested maybe it was because business was bad and they had excess inventory. But I suspect that the opposite is true. When business is bad, the first thing restaurants seem to cut is marketing dollars. And anecdotal evidence suggests that times are good for high-end dining establishments — something I'll be examining further and writing about in the coming weeks as I wrap up the year with some new inductees into our Fine Dining Hall of Fame.
In the meantime, I'll be working on an inventory management system of my own.

Photo credit: Anomalist/Cryptomundo 2009
This photo (this is a small section) was taken by a corporation president with his i-Phone back in 2007. He recently uploaded it to a website and it eventually ended up with Loren Coleman at CryptoMundo.com.
According to the photographer, (whose name is known but unpublished) this photo was "taken during a weird storm outside an apartment complex in Pittsburg, PA." He took some time trying to find someone who would be interested in it on the internet.
The apartment complex below the mystery element in the photo helps to put its size into some type of context.
Photo: Augmented detail and comparison with eagle. Click for higher reso.
"I promise you this is an authentic untouched photo. If you look at the center slightly right and just below the cloud anomaly you can spot the thunderbird. It was a really weird cloud. Super dark but all clear to the right of the cloud and to the left. But the cloud was really dark and in a straight line as far as I could see in front of me and behind me. Never seen a cloud like it before or since. Never seen a bird that large either."
According to Cryptomundo, the photo more specifically was taken in the community of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, in Allegheny County from a Walmart parking lot.
We took the photo and put it through some paces to determine if we could see an obvious insertion (i.e. fake) to the photo or whether we could draw out more detail. It appears to fit the profile of a large bird. Here our "augmentation" is compared with a photo of the American Bald Eagle.
The full story can be found here:Cryptomundo:Mystery Photo, A Thunderbird?–PLus Full Size, complete photo here.
ExtraI understand that at Cryptomundo the prevailing theory is "lamp post light fixture". When I heard that I thought; interesting. Is this just a case of verisimilitude, um (cough) dude? Now that our "enhancement" is posted over there, I expect that not one person who said lamp post is reconsidering for one split second. If only concrete set as quickly as "expert opinions". It is an i-phone photo so perhaps a definitive answer will never be known. The exception is the "expert photo analysts" who reside a CM and all other such sites. They can form and hold an expert opinion in one second, and fifty years respectively. Its a good thing that dripping scorn is invisible :0)……
This final photo on the left is a photo of an apparent large flying cryptid taken on 9-11 near the World Trade Center. That story can be read here.

On Saturday the family and I decided to go to a place perfect to take some pictures. I found it hidden in the hills of Beverly Hills. Its a beautiful mansion and "park" called Greystone Mansion. Now I put the park in quotes because the park is part of the mansion. Its HUGE and so beautiful. You can see LA from the front of the mansion. The driveway if like a track it surrounds the mansion. The gardens are beautiful with a little flowing stream and a coy pond, it also had some turtles. It was the perfect place to take pictures and here they are...

Your cart is empty
A lot of great things can be associated with the state of Texas; good food, warm weather, beautiful scenery, cowboys, great universities and of course football. By wearing these Lil' Durango kid's Western boots your child can show their love for the state and look adorable all at the same time. The upper of this Western boot has been made from synthetic leather and it has a Texas flag on its shaft. Although this material looks like real leather, it is exceptionally easy to clean and is tremendously durable. Having a decorative toe bug stitch on the foot, double rows of welt stitching and a square toe adds authenticity to this footwear and makes it look like a grownup's Western boot.

After Shays' Rebellion was put down in January, 1787, the men who had been involved in the insurrection were ordered to take an Oath of Allegiance to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Isaac Abercrombie of Pelham may well have been involved, since the originator of the uprising, Captain Daniel Shays, was also from Pelham. A year later, Abercrombie would be appointed Ensign of a Company in the 3rd Regiment.

Question by : How can I start an online business selling backpacking goods?
I am looking to start a business that deals exclusively with backpacking gear: (backpacks, shells, tents, sleeping bags, emergency supplies, etc.). I am unsure if I should begin as a drop ship site or purchase the inventory initially. Ideally, I would spend around $ 10,000 to get this project off the ground. Anyone have suggestions?
Best answer:
Answer by Scott Halverson
Drop ship is the way to go that way no inventory.http://www.doba.com/

She's beautiful, has a thriving singing career, and a hunky hockey-playing husband. Country superstar Carrie Underwood seems to have it all, especially when it comes to her marriage!
The blond bombshell is on the cover of this week's People magazine and is opening up about how she keeps her relationship with hubby Mike Fisher so hot. Their secret? Subway!
That's right, the dynamic duo likes to hit the famous sandwich franchise, and, according to Underwood, they've been going there so often that she should have a VIP card. She said, "We called it 'our place' when we were first dating!"
A relationship with two stars in the household is certainly tough to manage, but the sexy singer is committed to her hubby. She added, "When you make that promise to somebody and you stand before God and your family and friends, you've got to do everything that you possibly can to make that work."
Check out the video to find out what else she dished about during her interview. To read more of Carrie's interview with the mag, be sure to pick up the latest issue, which hits stands this Friday!

I have spent time close to home this week in Browns Plains and Greenbank areas catching up with existing clients and making sure their were comfortable with the use of their Terms and Condition of Trade, Debt Collection and PPSR Registrations.
One customer was especially pleased that we were able to assist with addressing their concerns with the latest changes to Privacy Legislation. Given that they are a business which had operations both local in Australia and overseas, we were able to tailor a special package enabling them to mitigate their risk and ensure they are able to stay out of the Privacy Commissions crosshairs.
With the latest changes in Privacy most business don't realise the implications and the impact of the new Legislation, and unfortunately, ignorance is no excuse.

The Indie Royale game bundle site returns with the Graduation Bundle, offering five fantastic independent games available at a bargain, fluctuating price - including cult Russian first-person classic The Void, an exclusive PC debut for 8-bit zombie shooter Dead Pixels, and multiple copies of multiplayer murder mystery The Ship. Plus you get early Steam Beta access to hot F2P action-RTS AirMech with an Indie Royale-exclusive in-game item code!
Headlining the bundle is Ice Pick Lodge's cult classic action-adventureThe Void, available for Windows on Steam, Desura, and DRM-free. In this beautifully art-directed first-person game from the Russian creators of Pathologic, you must guide your lost soul through the Void, a space trapped between life and death. Use color as your health and ammo as you discover the dark secrets hidden by the beautiful Sisters and monstrous Brothers. PC Gamer UK called The Void, "An astounding world, and a flagship for the imagination and capability of independent game developers." Clash with golems, bloodthirsty predators and other spawn of the Void as you fight for your lost soul.
Next up is CSR Studios' retro zombie side-scrolling shooter Dead Pixels, available for the first time ever on Windows for Desura and DRM-free. In this conversion of the hit 8-bit style Xbox Live Indie Games title, a toxic waste spill has found its way into the water supply and the dead have risen from their graves. Take on waves of zombies as you make your way to salvation before it's too late. The city is never the same twice, so there's always something hiding around the corner! Featuring 22 types of zombies to blast, upgradable weapons and items, and all the free additions from the XBLIG version, such as the "Last Stand" and "The Solution" game modes, it's time to get your boomstick ready.
Also featured is Outerlight's first-person, multiplayer-centric nautical action game The Ship (now owned by Blazing Griffin), available for Windows on Steam only, and with each copy coming with two extra Steam keys to send to your friends! (Those copies each have one extra gift activation too!) Set in a 1920s cruise ship, players must murder their assigned target while at the same time avoiding the player hunting them. Be careful not to be spotted murdering your victim, or it's off to jail. Use all the weapons at your disposal, including crowbars, swords, flare guns, and many more. Featuring a unique bonus single-player story and an addictive online mode, Source Engine title The Ship is unlike any other first-person experience.
The bundle also includes The Odd Man Out's illuminating puzzle platformer 1000 Amps, available for Windows and Mac on Steam, Desura and DRM-Free. As Plug, you are charged with restoring the expansive Amp-Tree-System. You light up whatever you touch, and Rock Paper Shotgun says of the game, "It's witty in its minimalist design, its use of sound cues is exemplary, the jumping is pixel perfect, and the ability to put a smile on my face with every single completed room is a joyous thing." Solve puzzles and teleport to new areas to bring light to the whole world!
Rounding out the bundle is Monster Jail Games' eccentric Metroidvania-ish 8-bit platformer LaserCat, available for Windows on Desura and DRM-free. Explore the castle of the evil Wizzord, as you search for the keys littered throughout the world. Featuring wacky trivia questions and a little cat ghost left behind every time you die, LaserCat has an uncommonly good sense of humor, with cues taken from games old (Jet Set Willy) and new (VVVVVV).
Included in the bundle is a special exclusive bonus, a Steam Beta key to hot F2P action-RTS AirMech with Indie Royale-only in-game item code - the Graduation Cap (+5% persistent XP)! NOTE: The Graduation Cap is redeemable in-game by clicking on "Store" and then "Codes." The much-hyped AirMech is in closed beta on Steam right now, making these codes very hard to come by, so infinite thanks to Carbon Games for partnering with us to offer these keys to all our valued customers. (And we'll be unlocking one more game for all buyers during the bundle itself - watch our social media feeds for info!)
Update - Bonus Game Unlocked! As if one bonus game wasn't enough, here's another one: Stolen Couch Games' entertaining puzzler Ichi, which is available for PC and Mac on Desura and DRM-Free. What started out as a challenge for Jay van Hutten to develop a puzzle game evolved into a seemingly simple one-button game that has 50 brain-twisting puzzles that require everything from teleporting to breaking blocks. Plus it has a level editor that can be used to create levels and share them across the globe.
Finally, those who pay $7 USD or their currency equivalent during the Graduation Bundle get Cheap Dinosaurs' self-titled album in .FLAC and HQ .MP3 - the long-awaited first official release from the chiptune prog rockers, and normally a $6 value on its own.
More information on the Graduation Bundle, including real-time statistics and its current price, is available at its official website or via its Facebook and Twitter pages. And a final reminder - the more buyers, the more the price will increase, unless kind buyers drop the price for everyone else, so hop on and buy soon to avoid disappointment!

We are a group of professionals including lawyers, financial advisors and pscyhologists, who resolve legal disputes in a new way. This is called Collaborative Practice. We agree not to go to Court, and we assist clients to reach agreements, looking at underlying interests, and not at positions or "winning." The disputes range from divorce, to civil cases. Our values are openness, trust, innovation, professionalism and a commitment to supporting future relationships between the people in dispute, and allowing their self-determination. The professionals work with the disputing people in a team approach, in a series of meetings.
We are members of our Law Society in the state of Victoria, and the members of Collaborative Professionals each practice in their own business of firm. We work together after being appointed by our clients.
Our audience will be consumers, psychologists, financial advisors, lawyers, government, judiciary. We may be located through professional referrals, the internet, print and electronic media.
The logo will be used as a brand. It will support the launch of this movement to the state of Victoria, at government, judiciary, professionals and consumer levels.
It will represent the values of CPV as providing an alternative way, delivering deep resolution, staying away from courts.
It will represent CPV as organised and long-term.
The design should reflect values of co-operation, team, self-determination, innovation, and an inter-disciplinary approach. It should be clear, not cluttered. It's colors should reflect strength but calmness. It will be used by the professionals who do this work on letterhead, websites, cards and brochures. It should transfer readily between these media.
This organization has never had a logo or brand. It's members are generally members of the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals, and their own professional bodies in Victoria and Australia, such as the Law Institute of Victoria, Law Council of Australia, Australian Psychologists Society, and Financial Planning Association

The arboretum is located near milepost #223 on US Highway 60, a one-hour drive due east of Phoenix or about 90 minutes from the North side of Tucson via Oracle Road to highway 79 North past Florence to the crossroads with highway 60 -- then another 12 miles East on highway 60.

HOURS during Summer months of May, June, July, August and September are 6:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. daily, with the day's last admission accepted and last visitors admitted at 2:00 p.m. so they have an hour to enjoy the trails.

The Arboretum brings together plants from the Earth's many and varied deserts and dry lands and displays them alongside unspoiled examples of the native Sonoran Desert vegetation. No matter what the season, you will enjoy a moving and memorable experience of the beauty, majesty, and mystery of arid land plants. You will also enjoy the many natural communities that form the arid land environment. Memorable experiences await you as you walk the Main Trail; you will see enthralling, otherworldly shapes and forms in the Cactus Garden. You will also find peaceful reflection in the cool shade of towering trees in Queen Creek Canyon; and intellectual stimulation in the many and varied displays at the Smith Interpretive Center. You may enjoy a quiet and intimate time at the Wing Memorial Garden; as well as inspiration for home or business landscapes at the Demonstration Gardens of Low Water-demanding Plants. You will see expansive southwestern vistas visible from the High Trail. There are many gardens here; so find your special places among them.
An important function in the Arboretum's mission is its commitment to education.
This is truly a 320-acre living classroom. New projects are underway for both
the arboretum and this website, so visit often -- both online and in person.

Lipscomb guard Josh Slater became the first player in the school's NCAA history to earn a triple-double as he led the Bisons to a 71-52 win over USC Upstate.
Guard Brandon Barnes led the Bisons in scoring with a game-high 14 points, but Slater scored 10 points, made 10 steals and was credited with 12 assists in 27 minutes of play Thursday night at Allen Arena.
"Coming down the stretch I want to be able to give us offense off of my defense," Slater said. "I want to be aggressive and bring energy. With three regular season games left I am not holding anything back.
"That is something I have been focusing on. I want to give us some easy baskets. It is going to be important for me to drive and kick the ball to open shooters especially the way we are shooting right now."
It was the first triple-double in the Atlantic Sun against another NCAA Division I opponent since 2006 and the last in the conference overall since 2008.
The last A-Sun player with at least 10 steals against a Division I opponent was Philip Huyler with 11 against Campbell Jan. 18, 1997.
"It is an honor to be the first to get a triple-double in the NCAA era for Lipscomb," Slater said. "The credit goes to the team. If they are not hitting shots then I'm not getting assists.
"If they are not pressuring the ball I am not able to get into the passing lanes. It was a team effort."
Slater broke his own school record for steals in a game. His previous high was eight. He also set a new career high for assists after twice recording 11 in a game.
The 10 steals are the most this season in an NCAA Division I game. Another player had 10 steals this season but it was against a non-Division I opponent.
"At this point in the season everybody is trying to grind through it and get better each day for the conference tournament," Slater said. "I was proud of the way we were able to hit shots and play pretty good defense overall."
Coach Scott Sanderson praised the overall play of his senior guard.
"Josh was terrific," Sanderson said. "He was very active on the ball. We told everybody we wanted them to attack the rim.
"Even in the first half when we weren't scoring in our half court offense we created a lot off offense off of our defense."
The Bisons struggled in the first eight minutes of the first half. They did not lead until center Milos Kleut hit a jumper at 8:39 for an 18-16 Lipscomb lead.
Upstate would recapture the lead at 19-18 when Ricardo Green hit a layup and was fouled by Kleut. Green sunk his free throw to complete the three-point play.
The Bisons held a 20-19 advantage with 5:19 left before intermission on a free throw by Barnes. They never trailed again. At intermission the Bisons held a 36-24 advantage.
Also in double figures for the Bisons were center Adnan Hodzic and guard Jordan Burgason with 11 apiece.
The biggest number offensively for the Bisons might have been the 36 points scored by players off of the bench.
"That was huge for us," Sanderson said. "We were very, very unselfish."
After the slow start in the first half the Bisons settled down both offensively and defensively.
They held Upstate to 36.8 percent shooting from the field. No Upstate player scored in double figures.
The Bisons shot 56.3 percent from the field and 50 percent from 3-point range.
"We played better for longer stretches and that is what we are looking for," Sanderson said. "We are looking for 25 or 30 minutes instead of 15 or 20 minutes.
"We had 27 field goals on 20 assists. That is really, really good."
The Bisons, led by Brandon Brown with a game-high eight boards, held a 37-27 advantage in rebounds.
"Our goal in this game was to hold Upstate to 35 percent and we held them to 36.8 percent," Sanderson said. "Our goal was to out-rebound them by 10 and we did."
The Bisons are 16-10 overall, 11-6 in the A-Sun. Upstate drops to 4-23 overall, 3-14 in the conference.
The Bisons return to action Saturday at 6:30 against ETSU at 6:30 as part of a doubleheader with the women. Game time for the women's game is 4 p.m.

Handprint Lamb
This Handprint Lamb is as cute as can be, you'll want to make a whole flock! Little kids love to look at crafts made with their handprint and parents and grandparents will look back on these keepsakes for years to come.
Trivia: In past centuries it was considered a lucky omen to meet a lamb, especially at Easter time. It was a popular superstition that the devil, who could take the form of all other animals, was never allowed to appear in the shape of a lamb because of its religious symbolism.
White Paper
Black Marker
Cotton Balls
To make this Handprint Lamb, fold paper in half. Keeping fingers tightly together, lay your hand along the fold, lining up the middle finger on the fold. Your pinky and ring finger will be off the page.
Trace around your middle finger, your pointer, the thumb and palm. Cut out.
Open the folded page. Your middle finger will become the nose and the thumb will be the ears.
Color in the nose and make two eyes.
We made stitching lines around the outside edge for interest.
Glue cotton balls to the head for wool.
Check the related crafts for more Lamb projects.
These projects are created by Terri, Betty, Jamie or one of the talented staff members at MakingFriends.com. They have been created exclusively for publication on FreeKidsCrafts.com with supplies you'll be able to find around your house.

An irritated Wolverhampton Wanderers fan has taken the drastic step of putting midfielder Jamie O'Hara up for sale on eBay, promising to throw in Roger Johnson for the winning bidder.
O'Hara has been criticised recently because he stated that he feels that he deserves to play in the Premier League, despite's Wolves' terrible season that saw them relegated to League One. But it is clear to see that the Wolves fans doesn't agree with O'Hara's views.
The eBay seller and Wolves fan, Stokesy1983, took matters into his own hands by creating an auction that will see one lucky bidder win a "genuine" Jamie O'Hara.
Here is part of the description of the auction, which now stands at over £200,000.
"Jamie has been with Wolves now for a good few years. After a bright start that last few years have faultered mainly due to lack of fitness.
"At no point was there a lack of effort from this great player, he is after all a "Premier League player", that just happens to be starting training in League One by some weird twist of fate. This was not his fault however, but everybody else's.
"Overall he is a model professional that you need at your club. As long as he is not at ours that is. 99p start! If this auction reaches £1.50, I will throw in big Rodge."

Salamander A Finish
