Our decals are very easy to apply.
To apply one of our decals to any smooth flat surface:
• For larger decals it is much easier to apply them with the help of a friend.
• Clean the surface very well. If it is being applied to glass clean it with rubbing alcohol. If it will be going on a painted surface or wall clean the surface with a mild soap and water mixture.
• Hold the decal up to where you want to apply it. Go through the motion just as if you were installing the decal. This will aid in lining up the decal when applying it.
• Remove the clear tape from the backing. The decal will adhere to the clear tape as the tape pulls away from the backing. Be very careful not to let the tape or decal stick to itself while removing.
• Hold the decal just above where you would like it applied. Gently allow the middle to touch the surface. Then let the edges down gently.
• Use a license, credit card, or other flat smooth object to scrape across the tape. Do this to remove any air bubbles and activate the glue. The decals are pressure sensitive so the more pressure you apply the better it will stick.
• Gently start at one corner and pull the tape back at a very sharp angle. The tape should pull free of the decal leaving just the decal on the surface.
That's it... you now have installed your new decal.
Please note that it is much easier to apply the decals if the temperature is above 45 degrees Fahrenheit.

Even if you don't already dream of days under the Tuscan sun, if you talk to Ivano Reali, you'll soon be dreaming.
Reali is the managing director of a Tuscan castle that dates back to the 12th century.
It includes a winery that's been operating since the Renaissance and a restaurant where the favourite seats are on a patio amid the grapevines.
And once Reali describes how to spend the perfect day in the area, you'll surely want to start packing.
"You start just south of Florence," says Reali, who speaks English with a melodic Italian accent. (He worked in New York City for 11 years.)
You get on a winding back road -- "it's called the 222; it's easy to find in the village of Grassina" -- and spend your day making your way past vineyards, up forested hills and stopping in ancient villages, until you hit Siena.
"If you didn't stop at all, this drive would take you, maybe an hour and a half to two hours," says Reali. "But you should take your time on this fantastic road, where you go through some of the most beautiful villages in Chianti.
"Then you can return on the autostrada and be back beside the castle's swimming pool, where you can relax with a bottle of wine before dinner."
Reali was in Ottawa last week to spread the word about Castello di Gabbiano -- the castle and the winery of the same name. I asked him to name the top tastes of Tuscany -- the foods and drinks a visitor shouldn't miss -- and it turns out you can find all of them on his favourite drive.
Chianti Classico
"Number 1," says Reali, "is that you should stay in a wine area, where it's not as hot as some other parts of Italy, and taste the wine there, where it's made."
Castello di Gabbiano is in an area designated "Chianti Classico," to differentiate it from the lower-quality, ordinary Chianti many North Americans remember in bottles with woven baskets.
"Chianti is the most known red Italian wine, and what we're doing now is improving the quality," says Reali.
Reali says Chianti Classico is smoother and richer-tasting than ordinary Chianti, but "for me, it is not only about the wine, but the area it comes from.
"I think Chianti Classico comes from one of the most beautiful areas in the world, with these fantastic hills, with olive trees and old houses from the Renaissance, and when you taste it, you see all that."
Chianti Riserva
"You should also try a Riserva, to taste the difference," says Reali. "Each winery in the area (there are more than 300) does a regular Chianti Classico, which is released after one year, and also a Riserva, which is released after two years."
Riservas, which generally cost a third more than regular Classicos, are made with the vineyard's best grapes, from the best slopes.
"Riservas have more body, more concentration, more fruit and more alcohol," says Reali. "They're a better wine, but Classicos are an easier wine. A Riserva needs more reflection."
At 4 p.m., says Reali, you should stop for affettati.
"It's the best appetizer. It's always a mix of prosciutto -- Tuscan prosciutto is a bit salty -- and salami and pancetta. It needs to be fresh, cut immediately after you order. It's served on a plate, with bread and sometimes pecorino (cheese). It's fun. It's something you share with other people. You are together, you talk and share a nice bottle of wine."
Bistecca Fiorentina
"The steak comes from the Chianina cow, from the Chiana valley near Cortona," says Reali.
Popular also in Brazil, the Chianina is one of the oldest breeds of cattle in the world, dating back to the Roman Empire.
"You can get this anywhere in Tuscany," says Reali, "but it's really Florence's specialty."
Olive oil
Olives aren't native to Tuscany, Reali says, since the area isn't temperate enough. "Every five or six years, we have a harsh winter and lose many trees."
Olive oil is made at Castello di Gabbiano, but just 3,000 bottles a year. While the estate's wine is exported all over the world, you can buy the olive oil only at the castle's cellar door.
"The olive oil really is magnificent," says Reali. "We pick the olives early. If you wait, you get more oil, but it gets bitter and aggressive. Our oil is nice and crisp. Sometimes I even have trouble adding the vinegar" (to make a vinaigrette).
In summer: a salad
In Italy, the emphasis is always on what is fresh right on your doorstep, says Reali.
"In summer, I love a mixed salad that comes right from the garden; the lettuce, the tomatoes and cucumbers are so fresh. It's tossed with our olive oil and red-wine vinegar. We make a balsamic-style vinegar, but we can't call it balsamic vinegar, because that's only from Modena and Reggio Emilia, about an hour away."
Like the olive oil, the vinegar -- called Delizi del Castello -- is sold only at the castle's cellar door.
In autumn: wild boar
"Fall is the season for cinghiale; it's hunting season for wild boar in Tuscany," says Reali. "It's a true Tuscan dish in the fall. It's very robust, always done with a nice, spicy tomato sauce. You would have it for dinner with a Riserva."
"Cappuccino is what I miss most when I'm out of Italy," says Reali. "You can get fantastic espresso in North America, but cappuccino, no. For us Italians, you only have cappuccino in the morning. If you see someone order a cappuccino after dinner, you know they're a foreigner."
"In Tuscany, they don't put salt in the bread," says Reali. "I once asked why, and was told that it's because the food has more chilies than other areas, so you don't need the salt in the bread."
Peposo is a fiery kind of beef stew, with pieces of meat, tomatoes, vegetables, pepperonis, rosemary and chili peppers, says Reali.
It's the specialty of the town of Impruneta, which is southeast of Florence.
"Every city and town in Italy has a gelateria," says Reali. "They will have 20 flavours -- chocolate, vanilla, limona, hazelnut . . .
"When you drive down the 222, in the small villages, you always find the gelateria in the piazza in the centre of the town. You miss a lot of Italy if you don't get out of the big cities; you don't see the heart of it. If you see a small place, go there and experience it. Stop for a gelato. You will be transported."
What: Castello di Gabbiano has 11 rooms and four nearby apartments. Cost: Most rooms in the castle cost 180 euros (about $250) a night. Apartment suites are 160 to 180 euros ($220 to $250) a night.
Dining: You can eat in the castle restaurant, Il Cavaliere, even if you're not staying at the castle. It seats 50 inside and 70 on the patio.

A risk factor is something that increases your likelihood of getting a disease or condition. It is possible to develop type 1 diabetes with or without the risk factors listed below. There are no known definite risk factors. However, the more risk factors you have, the greater your likelihood of developing type 1 diabetes. The main risk factors include the following:
Family History
If you have a parent, brother, or sister with type 1 diabetes, you (or your child) are at greater risk of having it, too. Scientists continue to believe that genetic factors play a role in the development of type 1 diabetes.
Autoimmune Conditions
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease, caused by the body's immune system attacking the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas. You may be at a greater risk of developing type 1 diabetes if you have another condition that affects the immune system, such as:
Ethnic Background
You are at an increased risk of type 1 diabetes if your ethnicity is:
- Northern European
- Mediterranean
- African American
- Hispanic
- Native American
Other Risk Factors
Other factors that may increase your child's risk of type 1 diabetes include:
- Cystic fibrosis
- Bottle-feeding or short duration of breastfeeding
- High birth weight
- Obesity during childhood
- Mother's age at childbirth (over 35 years)

Materials & Technologies
Hemp is an alternative natural fiber that's cultivated with low impact on the environment. It's one of the most durable natural fibers on the planet, and results in a fabric with a wonderful drape, comparable to linen.
Organic Cotton
In 1996, with an increased awareness of the dangers of pesticide use and synthetic fertilizers in growing conventional cotton, we began the exclusive use of organically grown cotton in all of our cotton products.
Recycled Nylon
Some of the recycled nylon we use comes from post-industrial waste fiber, yarn collected from a spinning factory, and waste from the weaving mills that can be processed into reusable nylon fiber.
100% Recycled Down
Recycled Down is a mix of either 600- or 700-fill-power goose and duck down reclaimed from cushions, bedding and other used items that can't be resold. It is hypoallergenic and offers the identical performance benefits to virgin down.
REFIBRA™ lyocell
REFIBRA™ lyocell is a fabric made from 80% wood/20% recycled cotton scraps. The sustainably sourced wood cellulose offers an alternative to petroleum-based fibers; by using recycled cotton scraps we're able to help divert waste from landfills.
Recycled Polyester
In 1993, we adopted fleece into our product line made from post consumer recycled (PCR) plastic soda bottles. We were the first outdoor clothing manufacturer to do so.
Recycled Wool
One of the ways we can lessen the impact of wool production is to recycle used wool.
TENCEL® Lyocell
TENCEL® is a branded lyocell fiber that comes from the pulp of trees that are grown on sustainably run farms certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).
By replacing non-renewable neoprene with a plant-based polymer, using Yulex natural rubber in our wetsuits reduces CO2 emissions by up to ~80% in the polymer manufacturing process.
Reclaimed Cotton
Made from a durable blend of cotton remnants gathered from the factory floor and raw organic cotton, reclaimed cotton is neither bleached nor dyed.
Knowing how conventional cotton is grown and denim is made, we're out to change the industry. Patagonia® Denim uses only 100% organic cotton grown without GMO seeds, synthetic fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides.
Wool Sourcing
We have been working diligently to develop a new wool supply chain that reflects high, and verifiable, standards for both animal welfare and land management. See what we have accomplished so far and what we have yet to accomplish.
bluesign® Standard
Patagonia has worked with bluesign® technologies since 2000 to evaluate and reduce resource consumption in our materials supply chain, and to assist us with managing the chemicals, dyes and finishes used in the process.
DWR (durable water repellent)
DWR (durable water repellent) fabric finish repels light rain and snow and decreases dry times. Patagonia is actively researching and developing DWR chemistries that will afford high performance and durability with less environmental impact.
H2No® Performance Standard
H2No® Performance Standard is Patagonia's benchmark for waterproofness, breathability and durability, which ensures a high level of long-term performance backed by our Ironclad Guarantee.
HeiQ® Fresh
HeiQ® Fresh uses the natural antimicrobial properties of silver ions to keep clothes odor free. It's made from recycled silver salt*— the ions of which are naturally present in our environment and can be found in our drinking water, salt water and soil—that effectively inhibits the metabolism of the bacteria from processing odorless sweat into body odor.
Regulator® Insulation
Regulator® fleece insulation provides phenomenal compressibility, light weight warmth, and moisture transport, whether used alone or as part of a layering system.
PSI (Personal Surf Inflation) Vest
An inflatable safety vest for use in the most critical surf conditions.
UPF Fabric
Products with the UPF designation provide built-in sun protection that won't wear off.
Clean Color Collection
For the Clean Color Collection, we're experimenting with a line of plant-based dyes, sourced from 96% renewable resources. The colors change and fade over time, but that's part of what makes these dyes unique.
2.5-layer H2No® Performance Standard Shell
2.5-layer H2No® Performance Standard shell fabrics are completely waterproof, windproof, breathable and highly packable.
2-Layer H2No® Performance Standard Shell
2-layer H2No® Performance Standard shell fabrics are completely waterproof, windproof and breathable.
3-Layer H2No® Performance Standard Shell
3-layer H2No® Performance Standard fabrics are completely waterproof, windproof and breathable.
Fair Trade Certified™
Every Fair Trade purchase sends more money back to factory workers who earn premiums that can be allocated as cash, used for a collective social investment or both.
4-Layer Wader Fabric
Patagonia developed the 4-layer fabric construction for our waders to increase breathability and abrasion resistance, move moisture away from the body, and decrease the weight.
Traceable Down Insulation
All of our down products, as of our fall 2014 product season, contain Traceable Down, all of which can be traced back to birds that were never force-fed and never live-plucked.
2-Layer GORE-TEX Fabric
The 2-layer GORE-TEX membrane is bonded to an outer material, then combined with a free-flowing lining. The benefit: a soft, lightweight garment that keeps you dry and lets you move freely.
3-layer GORE-TEX Shell
The 3-layer GORE-TEX membrane is sandwiched between a soft outer material and a knit polyester backing material that increases durability. These garments keep you comfortable and protected from the elements without adding extra bulk or weight.
Capilene® Polyester Baselayer
Made from moisture-wicking polyester, Capilene® synthetic baselayers wick moisture away from your skin, breathe efficiently and dry fast to provide the foundation for any layering system for any pursuit.
3-Layer GORE-TEX Pro Shell
GORE-TEX Pro products have a 3-layer construction that comprises a special high performance GORE-TEX membrane, bonded to a tough outer material and a specially developed robust inner lining.
GORE-TEX Paclite® Shell
GORE-TEX Paclite Technology garments are made from a GORE-TEX membrane, bonded to an outer shell material, then covered by a protective layer made of an oleophobic (oil hating) substance and carbon.
Merino Wool Baselayer
Exceptionally soft, naturally breathable and warm even when wet, merino wool regulates your body temperature, has a great warmth-to-weight ratio, naturally controls odor and stretches as you move.
Polartec® Power Shield® Pro
Designed to strike the optimal balance between weather protection and breathability, Polartec® Power Shield Pro fabrics feature a smooth, tightly woven face for great abrasion resistance, and a polyester back for a high warmth-to-weight ratio.
Polartec® Windbloc®
Polartec® Windbloc® fabrics block 100% of the wind and provides maximum protection from the elements. The soft hand, stretch, and DWR finish combine to make this the highest quality, most comfortable windproof fleece product on the market.
PrimaLoft® Insulation
We use PrimaLoft insulation inside insulated garments for its warmth, compressibility, and soft comfort.
WINDSTOPPER® Fabric
WINDSTOPPER® Fabric provides total windproofness while maintaining maximum breathability to keep you comfortable in a wide range of weather conditions and activities.

From vegan baked goods to a line of herbal tea blends, Mariah Goelz's Southern Roots Apothecary aims to help people slow down and be conscious of what goes in and on their bodies.
"For One Spark, I have chosen to focus on the medicinal herbs that grow abundantly in our natural environment," Goelz said. "We look outside and see weeds where we want to see grass. In reality, those weeds are medicinal and edible. I hope to shift people's awareness of what is all around them so that they not only feel a sense of ownership in their health, but a deeper connection to the world."
Born in California and raised in Jacksonville, Goelz established Southern Roots Apothecary two years ago. After graduating from the University of California, Santa Cruz, she lived in Colorado and Asheville, N.C., before returning to Northeast Florida three years ago.
"Upon arrival, I went through a bit of culture shock," Goelz said. "I missed the thriving farmers markets, the food co-ops and the alternative healers that I came to rely on. I vented to a friend, saying that Jacksonville was so uninspiring at times. She told me that, sometimes, you have to make your own inspiration. And that is why I started Southern Roots Apothecary."
Goelz and her partner, Juan Pablo Salvat, hope to bring Southern Roots Apothecary to the masses.
"Because Jacksonville is so big, it's easy to get stuck in your little bubble in terms of where you live and the community you interact with," Goelz said. "One Spark is a great resource. … It is only more inspiring to see fellow artists and entrepreneurs pursing their dreams, too."

|Moral :
|When the water infects Tormolen it runs up hill to get to his hand.
Okay, you want to be really nitpicky? When Kirk is under the influence of the water virus, he is fantasising about being on a beach with a woman... 'a few days, no braid on my shoulder.' Well, Kirk's uniform doesn't have braid on the shoulders. Yeah, I know, poetic license and all that.
McCoy rips Kirk's uniform open to inject straight into his skin. First off, the uniform rips awful easily. No wonder Kirk was forever going shirtless, the uniforms fall apart at a touch! Secondly, it's been seen on several occasions that hyposprays can inject through clothing.
When he's all distraught in the recreation room, Tormolen says to Sulu "You don't rank me!" In fact since Sulu is a Lieutenant and Tormolen is a Lieutenant JG, Sulu does indeed rank him. We can forgive this one, I guess, since Tormolen wasn't exactly in his right mind.
|Great Moment :
|Sulu charging down the corridor with his sword.
|Body Count :
|Factoid :
|The time jump the Enterprise experienced at the end of the episode was originally meant to throw it back to twentieth century Earth, making this a two parter. The second part ended up becoming "Tomorrow is Yesterday".
A couple of first - this was the first episode to state that the warp drive of the Enterprise is powered by a matter/anti-matter reaction. It also features the first use of the tricorder.
The environmental suits worn on the planet are made from shower curtains!
Director Marc Daniels visited Takei in his trailer and asked to see him shirtless. After examining his physique, Daniels said they would do the sword scene shirtless. Takei then spent the next three days exercising as much as he could so that he would look his best.
The scene in which Spock struggles to regain control of his emotions was not in the original script. Leonard Nimoy suggested it during filming; due to the limited time and budget available, he then performed the entire scene in single take.
Back on the ship Tormolen is decontaminated and cleared by Doctor McCoy, but he seems anxious and very upset over the deaths. As he goes to try and relax, the senior staff discuss their mission. The break up of the planet is causing large shifts in gravity, making it difficult to hold a stable orbit. The crew need to be on top efficiency to complete their studies. Kirk asks if the disaster on the planet could be repeated on the ship, but with no idea of what caused it there is no way to tell.
Tormolen sits in a recreation area, listening to the others relaxing and enjoying themselves. He becomes more and more agitated, until he finally becomes hysterical, jumping to his feet and announcing that humanity has no place exploring space. He brandishes a knife as he talks, then turns it on himself and stabs himself with it. Although the wound does not appear all that serious, the man dies soon afterwards. McCoy cannot understand it, saying that it was as if he just lost the will to live on.
Shortly afterwards Sulu and Riley begin to show signs of unusual behaviour themselves. Sulu abandons his place on the bridge, heading off to get some exercise. Riley becomes insubordinate towards Spock, who sends him to sickbay. Their behaviour continues to worsen, with Sulu stripped to the waist charging around the halls with a sword laughing maniacally. He comes to the bridge and propositions Uhura, before being rendered unconscious by Spock.
Things go from bad to worse. Riley has locked himself in engineering and shut off the helm controls, leaving the ship unable to maintain orbit. He begins singing an Irish song over the intercom system over and over again, much to the displeasure of the crew. Meanwhile the strange behaviour begins to spread wildly amongst the crew. Scotty attempts to burn his way into engineering with a phaser, but this will take a good deal of time. Nurse Chapel approaches Spock and professes her love, which he cannot return. But she infects him during the conversation and he stumbles off, struggling to maintain his composure. He finds a quiet room and slowly begins to break down as his emotions overwhelm him.
Scotty finally burns through into engineering only to find that Riley has shut down the engines completely. They are stone cold and will take a minimum of half an hour to restart. The information dooms the Enterprise, as it will burn up in eight minutes. McCoy finally finds the cause of the infection, which turns out to be an odd form of long chain water molecules that make the infected person behave as if they were heavily drunk. He devises a cure and begins to treat the crew, though it can do little good now.
Kirk finds Spock and manages to get him to focus by literally slapping some sense into him. Although Kirk himself is now suffering from the infection, causing him to lament the grip the Enterprise has on his life, both officers are able to force themselves to concentrate. Spock admits that there is a theoretical equation which could allow matter and antimatter to mix cold, creating a controlled implosion within the engines to restart them, but it is untried and hugely dangerous.
With no time remaining, they try Spock's formula and the ship tears itself away from the planet and roars off into space. An unexpected side effect of engaging the warp engines in the intense and shifting gravity field throws the ship back in time by three days, a trick that Kirk thinks might prove useful at some point.
Where the episode struggles a little is in the sci fi trappings used to evoke these effects. The idea of water becoming a long chain molecule and acting like alcohol in the body is kind of stupid, to be honest. So is the idea of a planet that collapses for no apparent reason; stars might collapse at the end of their life one way or another, but planets don't. It's also a bit of a credibility strain that Scotty finds it so hard to get into the engineering room. Why not risk intraship beaming? And even if not, can it really take that long to phaser a little hole in the wall? It's all just a little bit contrived.

I've visited Dubuque, Iowa — a 105-mile drive west of Rockford — a few times as part of weekend getaways with my significant other. The last time was a year ago.
I've been impressed with Dubuque's riverfront development and bustling downtown on Saturday afternoons. New buildings complement renovated structures with a historic feel around the Mississippi River. On one visit, we played a few hands of Texas Hold 'em at one of the two casinos and checked out ornate bed-and-breakfasts in Victorian homes that sit on limestone bluffs with great views. Another time, I bought jewelry and a scarf at an upscale thrift store and chocolates at a trendy shop. We had fun and plan to visit again.
Little did I know until I started researching last month what a down-on-its-luck city Dubuque was in the early 1980s, just like Rockford. At one point, each had the highest unemployment rate in the nation, with one in four workers out of a job.
The difference between the two cities is that since then, Dubuque has made a "tremendous transformation." Those are the words of Rick Dickinson, president and CEO of the Greater Dubuque Development Corp.
In Rockford, business and civic leaders have just started the Rock River Regional Transformation process. A handful of local businessmen have pledged more than $3 million to get things going with the aim of addressing issues such as high rates of crime, poverty and unemployment. The group has no fixed solutions in mind and is seeking input from virtually everybody who lives here. One stated goal is to turn the city and region into one of the nation's top 25 most desirable places to live, work and play by 2025. Last year, Forbes ranked Rockford third in its America's Most Miserable Cities. A Regional Transformation summit for 100 to 150 community representatives will be held next month.
Rockford could learn from Dubuque.
With a population of about 58,000 people, compared with Rockford's 153,000, Dubuque consistently lands at or near the top of positive city rankings. A few:
Kiplinger's Personal Finance list of 10 Great Places to Live for 2013; 14th on Forbes' 2013 list of Best Small Places for Business and Career; All-American City in 2013, for the third time in six years; one of the 100 Best Communities for Young People in 2012; Forbes' The Best Small City to Raise a Family in 2010.
In the 2010 list, Forbes said Dubuque's economy "successfully diversified after the collapse of the local manufacturing industry" and that its unemployment rate was nearly half the national average at 6.5 percent.
In 2010, Rockford's average unemployment rate was 16.9 percent.
So how did Dubuque do it? "We brought everyone together," Dickinson said. "Everyone had a voice, and no one had control." And the efforts are regional in approach, including all of Dubuque County. The city of Dubuque is the county seat.
A few specifics of how Dubuque turned itself around, according to Dickinson:
- Fixed the circus-like city council. "In the 1980s, the city council's reputation was a precursor to Jerry Springer," he said, referring to the TV talk show host. "They made fools of themselves and the community." In the early 1990s, citizens elected talent to public office and hired talent, including city manager Michael C. Van Milligen. And then, the people decided to support the people they hired. "There is a tremendous degree of civility in government."
- Beefed up Greater Dubuque Development Corp. When Dickinson came to work there in 1985, the annual budget was $180,000, there were four staff members and two-thirds of the money came from the public sector. Now, the budget is $1.8 million, there are 10 staff members and the public sector contributes a third of the budget. The development group's main focus is on retaining companies and helping them expand. In 2009, Dubuque also landed 1,300 new, higher-paying IBM jobs.
- Created job opportunities for the disadvantaged: "We have programs that identify adults that have made poor choices." Opportunity Dubuque helps with costs for tuition at Northeast Iowa Community College, as well as for transportation and day care costs for those in the program that has graduated 165 people. Four of five have been placed in jobs such as welding and those associated with machine tools. Starting wage: $14. "If they miss class, they are out."
- Developed a technology center: In 1997, the city acquired five farms totalling about 900 acres, with 550 acres becoming Dubuque Industrial Center West. More than 233 acres have been sold and 24 businesses have located in the center, including 21 local expansions and three new industries.
In 1983, 37,000 people worked in Dubuque County. Today, it's 58,800.
- Redid the riverfront: "It was an absolute eyesore." Now there are two casinos, a water park, a restored brewery and free parking downtown. And the National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium was built as part of the $400 million riverfront renovation. "Our riverfront is one of the finest in the country."
Dickinson said Dubuque's Mystique and Diamond Jo casinos pump about $8 million a year into the public sector and charitable groups. Even so, he said, "Gaming is not the silver bullet everyone thinks it is."
And he said plans for an Amtrak train to run between Chicago and Dubuque, with a stop in Rockford, would be nice for visitors both ways, "but we are not hanging our hat on that."
One of the best measures of Dubuque's transformation, Dickinson said, is a study by researchers at Harvard University and the University of California—Berkeley, that found that 17.9 percent of children in greater Dubuque born into poverty in 1980-81 are now in the top 20 percent of wage earners in the U.S.
"For me, it's all about family," Dickinson said of opportunities in Dubuque. "Both of my daughters came back to town because they got better jobs than they had in Greeley, Colo., and downtown Chicago.
"The secret sauce," he added, is a "combination of making sure to create jobs while enhancing quality of life so the region becomes a magnet for talent."
Dubuque continues to aim high. The development group's Next 2017 campaign calls for creating 3,300 jobs countywide with an average wage of $18 an hour.
Here's the upshot for Rockford: "Anybody can do it," Dickinson said of regional transformation efforts.
"They have to finance the effort. They have to work well with each other. And they have to respect each other and keep moving forward."
Here's to Rockford's future — and more visits to Dubuque.

- More about Staub
Staub traces its origin to the Alsace region of France, where founder Francis Staub designed his first enameled pot while working in an old French artillery factory in 1974. With the goal of creating the perfect pot for cooking the region's traditional hearty soups, stews and braises, he combined cast iron, the most popular material of the time, with the latest enameling technology available. Today, Staub still makes its cookware at a traditional atelier in France, casting each pot in an individual sand mold, which is heated to 800°F and destroyed after use. The exterior enamel coating is made with glass powder and mineral pigments, applied in two or three coats to generate brilliant glossy colors.

Reactive arthritis is joint pain and swelling triggered by an infection in another part of your body — most often your intestines, genitals or urinary tract.
Your knees and the joints of your ankles and feet are the usual targets of reactive arthritis. Inflammation also may affect your eyes, skin and urethra when you have reactive arthritis.
Although reactive arthritis is sometimes called Reiter's syndrome, Reiter's is actually a specific type of reactive arthritis. In Reiter's, inflammation typically affects the eyes and urethra, as well as your joints.
Reactive arthritis isn't common. For most people, signs and symptoms of reactive arthritis come and go, eventually disappearing within 12 months.

Direct-Install Programs Gateway to Market Transformation
A version of this article appears in the January/February 2014 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
December 29, 2013
Like many states, Maryland has a home performance participation problem. Our residential energy efficiency program, EmPOWER Maryland, provides exceptional incentives to participate in home performance. However, fewer than 1% of eligible homes have participated. Our customers pay just $100 for a BPI-compliant home energy audit (the BPI-certified auditor receives $300 from the utility). Customers who proceed with improvements are eligible for 50% rebates up to $2,000 per home for air sealing and insulation enhancements. Since 2008, EmPOWER Maryland has completed 10,869 energy audits and 4,083 jobs statewide. In a state with 1.6 million single-family homes, we have barely scratched the surface. Members of Efficiency First—a national home performance trade association—from around the country are telling similar stories, and forcing us to ask, "Where are all the customers?"

Because the number of influenza cases has significantly increased throughout the region, children age 12 and under may not visit patients effective Wednesday, January 8. This applies to all Wake Forest Baptist inpatient locations and will remain in effect until the number of flu cases decreases significantly.Learn More.
Matt and Kyle usually get together at Matt's house because Matt is allergic to Kyle's cat. Sara doesn't let anyone smoke around her because cigarette smoke brings on her asthma flare-ups. Ebony thought she'd have to quit playing soccer because of her asthma — until her doctor told her that using her inhaler before every practice and game can help her stay in peak shape on the field.
Matt, Sara, and Ebony have one thing in common: They're all managing their asthma by coping with their triggers.
People with asthma have a chronic problem with their airways (the breathing tubes in their lungs). Because of asthma, the tubes are swollen and full of mucus. This problem is made worse by things like animal dander, exercise, or smoke.
Triggers are substances, weather conditions, or activities that are harmless to most people. But in people with asthma, they can lead to coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. Triggers don't actually cause asthma — no one knows exactly what does. But triggers can lead to asthma symptoms and flare-ups.
Different people with asthma have different triggers. That's why cats may give Matt an asthma flare up but have no affect on Ebony. Some people have one or two triggers; others have a dozen. Triggers are sometimes seasonal — like pollen in the spring. Some teens with asthma may stop reacting to certain asthma triggers as they get older.
Common asthma triggers include:
Allergens are the things people can be allergic to, like mold; dust mites; cockroaches; pollen; and animal dander (skin flakes), saliva, urine, and feathers. Allergens are one of the most common asthma triggers. If you think you might have an allergy, talk to a parent or doctor about getting allergy testing.
In addition to other treatments for allergies, doctors recommend avoiding allergens. It isn't possible to avoid everything, but here are three tips to try:
Your doctor can give you other helpful ideas.
If you have allergies that worsen your asthma, you might also need to take medication or have allergy shots. Your doctor will let you know.
For most people, irritants aren't a serious problem. But for people with asthma, they can lead to flare-ups.
Common irritants include:
Even things that may seem harmless, like scented candles or glue, are triggers for some people.
If you notice that a household product triggers your asthma, ask your family to switch to an unscented or nonaerosol version of it. If smoke bothers you, people smoking around you will be a trigger. But a fire in the fireplace or woodstove can be a problem, too.
If outdoor air pollution is a trigger for your asthma, running the air conditioner can help. Check air quality reports on the news to monitor which days might be bad for you. On days when outdoor air quality is very bad, stay in air-conditioned comfort, whether it's at your house or the mall.
Colds or the flu are hard to avoid. The best prevention is washing your hands regularly and avoiding people who are sick.
An annual flu shot is now recommended for everyone above the age of 6 months. This is especially important for people with asthma, who are at greater risk for serious complications if they get the flu. Ask your doctor to include instructions on what to do if you start feeling like you're getting a cold or the flu.
Wind can stir up pollens and molds. Rain can wash pollen from the air, so the pollen count might be lower right after it rains. But lots of rain can make the trees and grasses produce more pollen later on. Very cold or very hot weather may trigger asthma. So can humidity or very dry air.
If you know that some kinds of weather make your asthma worse, follow the forecast. Take steps to protect yourself if you know the weather is going to cause problems for you. Your asthma action plan should say what to do.
Some people with asthma have only one trigger: exercise. Along with allergens, exercise is one of the more common triggers.
Luckily, exercise is the one trigger you don't have to avoid. With help from their doctors, people with asthma can safely get the exercise they need to stay healthy and well. Talk with your doctor about special steps to take before, during, and after exercise.
There's one step you'll want to take no matter what your triggers are: Keep your quick-relief medicine with you at all times.

A project I've taken on this summer has been redoing my room. I realized as I've been painting and decorating that it's basically like I spent the school year making all those tiny sections of my room into moodboards and now I'm just finding a way to combine them all and make a space that feels like ~me. Yeah, I'm pretty deep I guess.
This is the first of two room inspiration posts lined up, and I have learned in compiling these images that I and my blog are very predictable! All photos are enlargeable and I encourage observing all the details. We'll start with the obvious: the Virgin Suicides.
Quickly, a disclaimer: because I've written about TVS so many times now while being a feminist, I think it's worth acknowledging the criticism of it as a male sexual fantasy creating unrealistic ideals of women. I've heard this a lot, I've considered it, but I really disagree. The fantasies are there for sure, but I've never read the narrator as reliable. It's clear, especially in the hazy visuals of the movie, that the neighborhood boys' ideas of the Lisbons are highly romanticized, but the boys are portrayed as a bit too dumb and bewitched by their own boners for those ideas to demand respect from the audience. The book and movie aren't about getting down to who the Lisbons truly were and the real reason for their suicides, or the boys' tragedy that they never got to take that road trip with them. The Virgin Suicides is, as a book, movie, story, and aesthetic, about adolescent sexual fantasies, what good examples they can be of how, as a teenager, one might tend to approach adult life still with a childlike perspective, and how that leads to a feeling of loss and broken dreams. It's a love letter written in retrospect with a pitiful and bittersweet smile, it's signing a yearbook next to your school photo from September when you looked infinitely different. Will I be an asshole if I link to Roger Ebert's review of it? Yes? Then google it. That fourth paragraph especially.
Now so I can continue on liking what I like:
I've gone on about my obsession with teenage bedrooms, and about my collecting of stuff that the Lisbon sisters would have in their rooms out of some weird and probably unhealthy idol worship of my idea of them/my own Youngest Child Syndrome that led me to think being a teenager would be, like, the coolest thing ever. But with parents as strict as theirs, their rooms really were their worlds, and I love the details of how they created them.
By Corinne Day.
Note: Care Bear, 70's print bedding, wall collages, cloud walls, bra crucifix, neon butterfly (Andy Dwyer's new band name).
Pages from Cecilia's diary and her door.
Cecilia's Virgin Mary card that she drops while being carried away by paramedics, Ouija board, tiara Lux wins at the school dance, Grow Your Own Aquarium, crucifixes hanging on perfume bottles, 70's print curtain, stickers.
Then we have Picnic at Hanging Rock, which I kind of divide in my mind into two aesthetics: the scenes at their school and the beginning of the picnic, showing all those tiny details of the worlds they like the Lisbons have to create for themselves in such a strict and boring boarding school...
...And then the rest of the picnic, when the four girls go up to the cliff and it's all bare and hazy and desert-like and weirdly spiritual.
Mia Farrow painting her dressing room from some behind the scenes video of Rosemary's Baby, for the painted flowers...

Meadham Kirchhoff, for the Courtney Love inspiration, artsncrafts details, flower crowns, neon veils, Riot Grrrl shrines, and basically everything.
We read Great Expectations in English this year and Miss Havisham was about the only part I found remotely interesting, except when she too got all soap opera-y and her Great Plan was revealed and it was like ugh. Then her dress caught on fire and I got interested again! I am not a very good critical school reader. I believe one of my few Odyssey annotations was, "all of your names sound the same."
I loved the idea of Havisham trying to live in some less painful time by setting all her clocks back, that she never took off her wedding dress, and was surrounded by wealth that was just covered in dust and her regrets and her own unmet great expectations ha ha. There is absolutely nothing online about the BBC movie we watched in class but they made her house really beautiful and filled with nostalgia, and Charlotte Rampling is just so HBIC throughout the whole thing.
These photos of a place called Salvation Mountain by Grace Denis, for the weird personal painted details and the skies. Where is this place? I want to take a road trip. (ETA: Thank you commenters for your help. I have a new life goal.)
Early Hole album art and fliers, for the usual vomit pink qualities, ideas on femininity, blah blah I am in such a phase right now etc.
Frida Kahlo, both photos of her as well as her paintings, because she was so beautiful and adorned in color and small details and because the paintings below especially align with my obsession with the desert and skulls and the sun and all that.
These photos by Petra Collins for the Ardorous, for the crowns and velvet and sequins and friendship bracelets. And basically all of Petra's photos. Paradise Cove too.
Maude's place in Harold and Maude, for all the great junk, and when it's decorated with sunflowers by Harold.
This photo from a 1938 issue of National Geographic captioned, "Anne and her family lived alone on an island. She enjoyed having tea time with her friends the spiny lobster and baby hawk." Again, creating a world...
Grey Gardens, and the idea of these women who were born into high society and insisted on their house falling apart in the middle of nowhere instead, and the secret love for her mother and desire to help her under all of Little Edie's bitterness about staying in Grey Gardens.
Anyway, all their cats, their memories, the raccoons Little Edie feeds, that one part where Big Edie sings a song she used to love from her bed...maybe it's because I just watched that hidden camera video of Stevie Nicks singing Wild Heart backstage but this is making me seriously emotional!
Drew Barrymore's teenage bedroom. The heart pillow and celebrity photos and stuffed animals, and the idea of this being like, her own space to try to be a teenager while she was also being a movie star. (Do I read too much into everything? Drew, I like your stuffed animals. The end.)
Rodarte Fall 2010, which I loved for all the reasons I wrote about here. Might be my favorite Rodarte collection? Definitely my favorite show I've ever been lucky to see in person. Somehow I'd like how nostalgic it made me, despite never having seen it before, to translate into my room. And those last photos against the candle wax are by Autumn de Wilde.
Daisies, for the DAISIES and colors and butterflies and junk and scrawled walls and all that. I just wanna lie around with my best friend while wearing flower crowns and eating fruit and conclude that life is meaningless. KOOL
Screencaps from Tastes Like Static.
Frenchie's bedroom in Grease, for all the pink and photos of hunks and Rydell pennant and perfumes.
Yoshitomo Nara's installations of clubhouses for angry little girls. I would ESPECIALLY recommend enlarging and zooming in for these photos.
Andie Walsh's room, for all the PINK and junk. And this painting by David MacDowell which plays on Norman Rockwell's Girl At Mirror. ~Sigh ~gurls ~boiz
Alexander McQueen's presentation for Spring 2001 with Michelle Olley. The space was a mirrored cube so that everyone in the audience had to get uncomfortable staring at themselves for over an hour before the lights inside the cube went up and the walls around this box in the middle came down and Michelle Olley was sitting there, a fat woman in a fashion show, moths and butterflies and tubes clinging to her. The models couldn't see out of the cube and walked around disoriented while Olley was just lying there. I think it's my favorite McQueen show. At the exhibit at the Met right now they show the video in a box complete with a mirror, it's completely mesmerizing. As far as my room goes, I like all this vacuumed nature.
Tracey Emin, for sitting in the middle of a desert in "Outside Myself (Monument Valley)" and for the vulnerability of her quilts and beds.
One more inspiration post coming up. Now if my room is ugly I will be a huge disappointment.

Below are three scenarios and the naming rules devised on 6/19/09 to allow the file names themselves to denote a correlation between different file types that point to the same information (i.e. an audio interview and a transcript of that interview).
Revision as of 16:07, 14 February 2017
- for information on creating OCR files from images, see OCR List.
- for information regarding transcript decision as you scan, see TrackingFiles Standardized Fields.
Two extensions are used for plain-text OCR files:
- ".ocr.txt" - the "raw" OCR results.
- ".txt" - if and when the raw .ocr.txt files have been remediated, the remediated versions use the standard ".txt" extension.
If these remediated files exist, the ".ocr.txt" files should be deleted. The TIFF files of the transcriptions will be permanently deleted if it is deemed they do not themselves merit preservation. That is to say if the image of the transcript has no perceived value other than the text on the page, then the image of the transcription will be deleted.
NOTE: for Transcripts files where we have either corrected the OCR or typed in the transcription (where we save it as .txt instead of .ocr.txt) we must make certain that we are verifying the transcription against the original file. It's quite possible that the person who typed the transcription made an error, and it is insufficient for us simply to save a correct transcript of someone else's transcription; we need to be sure that the saved .txt file reflects what is actually in the original.
If it is deemed that remediation of raw OCR files will be too labor/cost intensive, both the TIFFS and the raw ".ocr.txt" files must be preserved. This way, as OCR technology improves, it may be possible to render higher quality OCR versions of the transcripts in the future.
Non-compound Objects
For non-compound objects/items, transcripts simply add a page-level extension to the item number.
For example, item u0008_9999999 might have 10 transcripts which will be named as thus for the transcript .tif files: u0008_9999999_0001.tif through u0008_9999999_0010.tif. The same applies to ".ocr.txt" and ".txt" files as well, that is to say the respective raw and remediated OCR versions of the transcript TIFFs.
Compound Objects
Often tiff/wave files do not have a one to one match with transcript files or vice-versa.
Below are three scenarios and the naming rules devised on 6/19/09 to allow the file names themselves to denote a correlation between different file types that point to the same information (i.e. an audio interview and a transcript of that interview).
Situation 1: One to Many (One media file to many text files)
ex: 1 .wav file and 3 .txt transcript files
Situation 2: Many to One (Many media files to one text file)
ex: 3 .wav files and 1 .txt transcript file
Situation 3: One to One (One media file to one text file)
ex: 1 .wav file and 1 .txt transcript file
*For general information on filenaming conventions, see File_naming_schemes.
Folder Names
Folders called "Transcripts" will reside at the same level as the Scans folders.
- All transcripts should be placed inside the Transcript directory at the same level. Do not place transcripts in sub-folders as you would in a Scans folder.
- The numerical identifier attached to the end of "Scans_" and "Transcripts_" folders will show the correspondence between given Scans and Transcripts folders.
- In other words, for a given collection: the folder "Transcripts_21" contains any transcript files for the scans in "Scans_21".
- for more on the naming of Scans folders, see Scans_folder.
- What if you have 2 .wav files and 3 pages of transcripts? That is, what happens when a transcript page contains the transcription for part of each of the 2 .wav files?
In that case you might have a scenario like this: _0001.wav goes with _0001_001.txt and _0001_002.txt while _0002.wav goes with _0002_001.txt and _0001_002.txt. In this case, _0001_002.txt and _0002_001.txt are the SAME document, simply existing twice with different file names. This still allows people to know what transcripts correspond to what media items based simply on the file name.
We understand that this calls for more storage space to be used (given that an analog item exists as two distinct files), but the greater concern is the removal of confusion regarding relation of items to one another.
Important: It was discussed on 070209 that in the case of .txt file transcripts (OCR), we can simply edit the .txt files so that there is a 1 to 1 match between the transcript and the media file (wav, tiff, etc.). That is to say that if the transcripts have no value in themselves (i.e. tiffs of historically important original transcripts WOULD have value in and of themselves) we can then use the OCR-ed .txt files and divide them up as needed to get a 1 to 1 match with the media file.
- What about a scenario in which there are 2 tiffs (of original analog materials) and 1 transcript file (in tiff format) which contains the transcription for both original tiffs? How will someone know what part of the transcription tiff matches with the respective portion of the scans of the analog materials?
They won't know exactly, but they'll be in the right "ballpark" and will only have to peruse one transcript page to find the information that corresponds to each scan of the analog materials. Perhaps, in the future we can incorporate X/Y axes of the transcription files in the metadata.
Audio Transcript Matching: Compound Objects
Audio interviews for compound objects can have multiple transcript files/scans associated with one audio file. It is important to name these transcript files in a way that delineates which transcripts match with particular .wav files.
Here is a link to a small tutorial that demonstrates a method for doing such a thing provided the transcript scans are good candidates for OCR.
