|Peshtigo Fire by Mel Kishner
"Peshtigo Fire" and "Aftermath" were used with kind permission from the Wisconsin Historical Society. Thank you!
Week 10 - Disasters - Did you experience any natural disasters in your lifetime? Tell us about them. If not, then discuss these events that happened to parents, grandparents or others in your family.
As far as natural disasters go, in my lifetime, there really was only one. Hurricane Agnes struck the year I was born. I don't remember it and all I was told was that after the flood there were earwigs everywhere. Um...gross...
I'm sure I'm being incredibly forgetful. Perhaps there was another natural disaster that is just slipping my mind. As it is, I've got a better story to tell. I was going to save it for October, but since we're talking disasters, I can at least give a sampling of the October blog to come!
Now those history buffs out there may be a bit surprised or even incredulous at what I'm about to say, but the worst fire in US history, which occurred the evening of October 8th, 1871 is not the Great Chicago Fire. There was another fire that occurred on that date...and while everyone was out to rescue Chicago, Wisconsin burned.
The Peshtigo Fire has often been described as a tornado or cyclone of fire. There was no out-running it and when it struck it did so with little warning. That year was dry and there had been numerous fires that were man and nature made...so what made October 8th so devastating? We hear on the news and/or the Weather Channel (I'm a weather geek at heart) about California fires and how devastating it would be if the infamous "Santa Ana Winds" were to strike at a time when fires burned there. Well, Wisconsin was hit by tremendous winds the night of October 8th, 1871 due to a low pressure system moving into the area, not quite the duration of Santa Ana winds, but the comparison is apt and this was the exact circumstance that was needed to result in this terrible disaster.
Each one of us have seen storms move in. It's hot outside and then the winds pick up as the frontal system moves through with colder weather, and usually thunderstorms and rain. The winds can be severe depending on the rest of the weather conditions. But what happens when you blow on a pile of smoldering ash? Fire. Fire needs oxygen to grow, spread, feed. The winds took those smoldering piles left throughout the region and blew hard. The fire that sprang from the ashes whirled around in the air like a tornado and fed on the dry, brittle trees all around. The fires spread with such intense heat and rapidity that there were times that buildings burst into flames as did clothing on many people as they ran through the streets toward the one possible avenue of salvation...the Peshtigo River.
If you turned your back for a moment, if you paused for a moment, if you went back for one little thing, all could be lost. This scenario was a reality for my husband's ancestors that night.
The Martin Joseph Villers family was struck by the fire in the small city of Rosiere, WI. Martin, his wife, Octavia, his baby girl, Florence, and a boy that was living with them by the name of Joseph LaCrosse, prepared to flee. Florence was in a basket and her parents turned to retrieve something from the house. That brief moment was all it took for the fire to spread between them and their baby girl.
|Aftermath of the Peshtigo Fire 1871
The 14 year old orphan that was living with them, Joseph, was near Florence when the fire separated them from the Villers. He grabbed the baby and climbed into a well. He held her that night as the flames raged above them. I can only imagine the prayers he must have offered up to heaven during those terrifying hours. The next morning, he clambered out of that well with baby Florence and saw that almost nothing remained of the city of Peshtigo. As he wandered in search of the Villers and other survivors he came across a cow that was partially burned, but survived the fire (most likely the cow had been in a river or somehow sheltered from the flames at some point). He drew milk into his hand and fed the baby.
Family lore had told of Florence and Joseph hiding in the well for 3 days, but as I've come to research the Peshtigo Fire (all areas affected by it) it became clear to me that this could not have been the case as the fire raged for hours. Not days. Perhaps the "three days" that people referred to was the time they were separated from the Villers. It's the best theory I have so far. As it turned out Martin Joseph and Octavia survived. How badly everyone was burned from the fire is unknown...but they survived.
Their prayers were undoubtedly answered...everyone that made it to rivers and various shelters did not necessarily survive. In cities that had rivers only meant that they now had to fight the currents and had to continue to submerse themselves in the water or throw it on themselves as the fire jumped the river only to continue scorching the other side and well beyond. Jumping into a well was no guarantee of survival either. There were stories of people that sought safety in wells only to be baked alive (gross, I know). This family was watched over that night and every person's survival was a miracle.
The fire became known as the Great Peshtigo Fire. There are varying accounts among scholars as to the total acres scorched by this monstrous fire. Regardless of how they quantify the destruction of land, the fire was named after the town of Peshtigo (a boomtown at the time due to logging) because it was hardest hit. It was not the only city/area hit, in fact it is only a small portion of what burned that night, but the city was decimated. In all 1,152 people are known to have died in the fire and an additional 350 were believed dead, but not confirmed.
The fire is listed on several lists as one of the greatest American natural disasters, fires, etc...too many lists to cite. One item of interest (at least to me) was that on many of the "lists" I found, was that the Chicago fire, while more famous, was not even mentioned. The Great Chicago Fire is talked about in history classes throughout the United States, while almost nothing is mentioned about the Great Peshtigo Fire that started at almost the same time and took many more lives and burn much more land.
|Memorial Brick at Lambeau Field
To honor the young boy that saved Florence Cayemberg nee Villers' life, her descendants paid for a memorial stone to be placed in the walkway outside Lambeau Field. Due to the courage of Joseph LaCrosse there are now over 500 descendants of Florence and her husband Eli Cayemberg! Without the courage of Joseph LaCrosse, my life would be completely different.
There are several excellent books out on the Peshtigo Fire:
Firestorm at Peshtigo: A Town, Its People, and the Deadliest Fire in American History by Denise Gess and William Lutz
Peshtigo by Bill Bergstrom (a historical fiction that gave me chills and made me cry more than once!)
The Great Peshtigo Fire: An Eyewitness Account (Wisconsin) by Reverend Peter Pernin (a survivor of the fire that gave his account of the tragedy)
Ghosts of the Fireground : Echoes of the Great Peshtigo Fire and the Calling of a Wildland Firefighter by Peter Leschak (I just ordered this one and look forward to reading it)
That's just a taste of what's to come in October at the time of the fire's anniversary. There are so many stories, and miracles that need telling! I may not be able to wait until October to share some more!
I discovered upon transcribing Florence Cayemberg nee Villers' obituary that she was not actually in Peshtigo during the fire. Now to be clear, she was saved from the Peshtigo Fire but the location is wrong. It turns out (as reported in her obituary) that she was in Rosiere, WI when what became known as the Great Peshtigo Fire raced through. Same terrifying events. Same night. Different location. Another reason to watch out for family lore (although just because something is in an obituary doesn't mean that it's true either)! I've done my best to update my post to reflect that she was not actually in Peshtigo.

A Sandwich A Day: 'Italian Hot Dog' at Jimmy Buff's in West Orange, NJ
A new sandwich every day.
In this great city of ours, one could eat a different sandwich every day of the year—so that's what we'll do. Here's A Sandwich a Day, our daily look at sandwiches around New York. Got a sandwich we should check out? Let us know. —The Mgmt.
I go back and forth on whether hot dogs are, in any way, sandwiches. (My instinct says no, but I consider a lobster roll a sandwich, and that's stuff-on-a-long-bun too, right?) But if any hot dog is a sandwich, it'd be the "Italian Hot Dog," as done at New Jersey institution Jimmy Buff's.
Hawk Krall has chatted about the genre over on Hot Dog of the Week, but even then, I wasn't quite prepared for just how bizarre this creation is. The name might have you envisioning, say, marinara and mozzarella on top of a normal dog, but no, not at all.
The first thing you see when you walk in is the bubbling deep-fryer, in which hot dogs, onions and peppers, and thick potato coins all fry together. Order a sandwich and they'll take a wedge of cornmeal-bottomed "pizza bread" (sturdy but soft-middled, almost like a muffaletta loaf) and scoop in the dogs, fried 'taters, and oil-soaked veggies, with salt, pepper, and (in our case) a huge squirt of ketchup to cover it off. (Mustard and onion relish are options, too).
Since Kenji and I were spending the day in the Serious Eats Explorer (courtesy of Ford) on a day-long slider and sandwich tour of Northern Jersey, we thought we'd order on the lighter side: "We'll have a single."
"You mean a double," the woman behind the counter replied. "It's Fat Tuesday."
"Er, no, just a single is fine."
"It's Tuesday. Here that means it's Fat Tuesday. You get a double for the price of a single. Get a double."
Er... all right then.
If it sounds like state fair food... well, it tastes like it, too. I'll admit to loving a first bite, when the all-beef dogs were snappy, the potatoes were somewhat crisp and also meaty-tasting, and the soft onions were a little sweet relief. Points for the bread, too, ample enough to hold all this business but soft enough to squish down around the contents and soak up some of the hot dog/veggie drippings.
On a second bite, it's still tasty, in a "Wow, this is greasy" way. On third bite... well, it is what it is. Customers around me were polishing theirs off in a few minutes. I don't think I could make it through one, but I certainly understand the appeal.

Tools :
- Raspberry pi 2 with raspbian installed
- DHT22 sensor
- 10k resistor
- Male to female jumper wires
- Breadboard
- Wires for making breadboard connections
I would not go in depth on how to setup the DHT22 sensor. Here are the instructions that I followed.
I was stuck with the resistor piece as I did not have a 10K resistor. So I added two 6k resistors in series, taking the total resistance to 12k (6k+6k).
Here is how my setup looks
W.r.t the software, I tried using the Adafruit code, but it felt more comfortable using the pigpio code after running the pigpiod daemon. I am still getting some errors when i call the s.cancel() and pi.stop() functions. But the rest of the code works.
To get the external temperature and humidity, I signed up with openweather and got their api. There is a python library pyowm which provides an implementation for openweather. So, I got the humidity and temperature of my city from openweather. And i pushed the data – external humidity & temperature and internal humidity & temperature into elasticsearch which I was running on my raspberry pi.
Looking at the limited resources available on the pi, both in terms of disk and memory, I did some tweaking in elasticsearch, so that It did not hog down my raspberry pi.
I restricted the heap size of elasticsearch to 256MB by adding the following options in the ./bin/elasticsearch script.
Since, I had to access my elasicsearch via the raspberry pi's ip address, i changed the host to bind to the ip address instead of localhost. Also, looking at the disk constraints, I limited the number of shards & replicas to 1. Here are the configuration lines in ./config/elasticsearch.yml
network.host: 192.168.1.51
index.number_of_shards: 1
index.number_of_replicas: 1
Here is the script which pulls data from openweather and gets data from my DHT22 sensor and pushes it into elasticsearch.
The interesting thing to note in the graph is that though there is change in the external temperature and humidity, the internal temperature and humidity does not change much.

BrianGT necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 196 diseños de 51 diseñadores freelance.
Carpe Deer-em™
Carpe Deer-em™ is a startup hunting lifestyle company. We plan to produce gear, accessories, graphic tees and other wearables to be sold to major hunting retailers.
We are targeting hunters of all ages but most importantly purists.
We are looking for an iconic logo. The Brand should communicate a commitment to hunting with passion and creativity. It should be a little edgy but not over the top. We don't want to be like Affliction apparel but more iconic like Browning. We want to see this logo on the back of every pickup truck in the US (think Salt Life™). We need something that looks at home in black and white. We will want to do it in many colors as well but I cannot stress enough how important it is that this logo will work well as a white die cut decal on the back of a truck's window and just as well on the front of a hat (gotta look good on a hat). We would like to incorporate the words but also have a logo that can stand on it's own as well without the text. We might consider a creative word use logo as well. We don't want any fast and furious anime style looks. It needs to be a little organic. This needs to appeal to a true hunter but also have the ability to segue into mass market retail flawlessly. The Carpe Deer-em™ brand will be used in the ongoing work of developing and producing new hunting gear and apparel. The potential opportunity for the winning artist to participate in future web, packaging and print design work is high.

with us
Among the romantic preconceptions visitors bring to Ireland, it is their expectations of the landscape that are most likely to be fulfilled. An uncommon geological richness and the warming effect of the Atlantic produce an astonishing diversity of terrain on this small island, which is splashed throughout with lakes and primeval bogland. In the east, the crumpled granite of the Wicklow Hills sits in utter contrast to the horse-grazing plain of the Curragh just a few kilometres away, and in Connemara on the west coast, you can walk from beach to mountain to fen, from seaweed-strewn inlet to lily-covered lough, in a matter of hours.
Coupled with the unhurried nature of rural living, this scenic array encourages leisurely investigation, especially on foot or by bicycle.
With the richest store of mythological traditions in northern Europe, Ireland adds further interest to the landscape through the sacred associations of so many of its physical features – few counties do not shelter a pile of stones called "Diarmuid and Gráinne's Bed", where the star-crossed lovers are said to have slept together on their flight from the great warrior Fionn Mac Cumhaill. But there's much more than the resonance of place names to this treasure chest of myths, which still has a life of its own in the tradition of storytelling. The great body of Irish literature, though much of it concerns the dysfunction of real life, is often spiked with wild, fantastical imaginings, from Swift, Sterne and Wilde through to Joyce, Flann O'Brien and Seamus Heaney. And unlikely stories and surreal comedy are integral elements of the craic, the talking therapy of Ireland's pubs. Meanwhile, in the rich culture of traditional music, the two forms that are most likely to enrapture an audience – whether singing along or in silent appreciation – are ballads and sean-nós ("old-style" Irish-language singing), which recount tales of love, history and humour.
Many of Ireland's mythical deities were reinvented by the Church after the tenth century as historical personages, which can make interpretation of the country's abundance of historic sites more difficult, especially its enigmatic but awe-inspiring prehistoric tombs, stone circles and hill forts. There are few remnants of the Church itself from the so-called "Dark Ages", when the monasteries of Ireland clung on as great centres of learning, but their elaborate craftsmanship is evident in surviving illuminated manuscripts. Stone began to be used for religious buildings only in the ninth century, and the country is strewn with fine churches, distinctive round-towers and high crosses from later periods. Doughty castles and tower houses are reminders of the unrest and oppression that followed the twelfth-century Anglo-Norman invasion, while numerous stately homes from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries attest to the power of the Protestant Ascendancy, alongside Neoclassical institutions in the cities and Dublin's extensive Georgian areas.
There is little vernacular architecture of note, however, thanks to centuries of subjugation as the laboratory for British colonialism. The poverty experienced by ordinary Irish people under foreign rule was not immediately righted by Independence in 1921, and for most of the twentieth century the economy continued to stagnate. The century's final decade, however, saw a remarkable upswing in Ireland's fortunes. The North, though still blighted by sectarianism and gangsterism, received massive British and European investment and achieved far greater stability after the 1998 Good Friday Agreement. So rapid was the Republic's economic growth during the 1990s that it was christened the Celtic Tiger and, for the first time since the Great Famine of the 1840s, immigration began to outstrip emigration. Greater prosperity necessitated an influx of migrant workers, mostly from Eastern Europe and Africa, which presented new challenges to the South's Catholic homogeneity and the rigid duality of the North. Many Irish people returned from abroad, too, bringing fresh ideas and vibrancy to commerce and culture, after the authoritarianism that followed Independence. However, the global economic crisis of 2008 hit Ireland particularly severely, bringing widespread economic hardship and drastic reductions in public spending, especially in the South. For the visitor, this has meant welcome cuts in hotel and restaurant prices, but in general terms it's still far from clear what social and cultural effects the crisis will have in the long run.

I cannot recommend a better translation service than QuickSilver's, not only for their high-quality, cost-effective and fast translations but also for the high levels of customer service and responsiveness they have given every assignment.

What Calendars Reveal about Culture
[S]tudying calendars is a way to understand cultures. Not only are they necessary for basic survival—if you plant either before the last frost or too late after it you'll starve—but calendars are also ways societies mark their priorities and organize their memories. "Christendom" was very much Christian, and the calendar made that pretty clear.
If You're Not Part of the Solution...
...you're likely part of the World Council of Churches. Behold their latest brainchild: Evangelical groups have joined efforts spearheaded by Roman Catholic, Orthodox and mainstream Protestant churches to create a common code for religious conversions that would preserve the right of Christians to spread their religion while avoiding conflict among different faiths...

Curious about how to clean ceramic tile? Or whether it's suitable for outdoor spaces? Find answers to those questions and more below.
Ceramic Flooring
Because there are many different types of ceramic tile it is always important to consult the warranty guide or manufacturer's website of your specific product before cleaning. For most common forms of ceramic tile it is recommended that you sweep or vacuum (using only a vacuum with soft wheels) a few times per week to remove dirt and debris before it can scratch or grind into the tile. After removing loose material from on top of the tile the next step is to mop. It is recommended that you use a microfiber rag or chamois mop instead of a sponge mop. Sponge mops can push dirty water into the grout and stain it. You can use warm water mixed with a small amount of dish detergent for your cleaning solution, or a manufacturer recommended product. It is important to change your bucket of cleaning solution often so you won't leave a film of dirt on the floor. If you do end up with a hazy film on your tile floor, remove with an all-purpose cleaner. Ensure the cleaner is non-abrasive so that it won't scratch the floor. You can make your own all-purpose cleaner by mixing lemon juice or vinegar with hot water. Apply it to the floor and then buff dry with a clean cloth.
One of the most impactful cleaning tips with tile is ensuring that the grout remains clean and stain free. Because the grout is an important design element in your floor, distinguishing the tiles from one-another, when they are dirty they can really harm the beauty of your floor. Most grout is porous and easily absorbs dirt, grease and other materials. To clean your grout it is recommended that you use commercially available grout cleaner as recommended by the grout manufacturer. The type of grout used will determine the best cleaning product. You can also use a mild bleach solution in many cases. For deep stains, allow the cleaner to sit for 10 minutes then use a small scrub brush or toothbrush to scrub the grout.
Ceramic tiles are thin slabs of clay or other minerals tightly compressed and heated in an oven to create a hard and durable building material. Ceramic tiles can be glazed or unglazed, and can come in many different colors, shapes and sizes. There are many different types of ceramic tiles, each manufactured in different ways with different material components for a wide array of applications. Ceramic tiles can be made to suit exterior and interior applications. There are ceramic tiles made for use on walls, floors, counter tops and more. Porcelain tiles are among the most popular and durable types of ceramic tiles. Porcelain tiles are ceramic tiles that have heated at a greater temperature than typical ceramic tiles, making them more durable and less porous and therefore less water absorbent. A porcelain tile must have a water absorption rate of less than 0.5% to be classified as porcelain. All porcelain tiles are ceramic, but not all ceramic tiles are porcelain. Glass tiles are not considered ceramic tiles but are another popular type of tile often used on walls, backsplashes and in other accent applications. Natural stone tiles (tiles produced from cuts of naturally occurring stone such as granite or travertine) are also an alternative to ceramic tiles and can be used in a number of applications.
Yes, but it must be the right type of ceramic tile and it must be installed properly. One of the most important things to consider when selecting a ceramic tile for exterior application is the water absorption rate of that tile. It is generally recommended that you choose a tile with a water absorption rate of 3% or less, with less than 0.5% (porcelain) being ideal. If your tile absorbs too much water it may damage the tile, especially if the water freezes and expands which will cause the tile to crack. You may also want to consider a through-body unglazed porcelain tile, meaning that the top color runs throughout the tile, which makes chips and damage less noticeable in the event your outdoor tile sees some extra abuse.
If you plan installing your tile outside with grout ensure that if you are sealing your grout (or using sealed grout) and utilizing expansion joints when applicable to account for water and changes in temperature.

Max 5 API Reference
The Max API offers cross-platform calls memory management.
There are two types of calls, those for pointers and those for handles. Handles are pointers to pointers, and were used in the early Mac OS to permit memory to be relocated without changing a reference, and many Mac OS API calls used handle. There are a few legacy Max API calls that use handles as well, but in general, unless the OS or Max requires the use of a handle, you're probably better off using the simpler pointer.
Longtime Max object programmers may have used memory calls getbytes() and freebytes() in the past, but all memory calls now use same underlying OS mechanisms, so while getbytes() and freebytes() are still supported, they are restricted to 32K of memory or less due to the arguments they use, and we recommend the use of sysmem_newptr() and sysmem_freeptr() instead.
Here are some examples of allocating and freeing pointers and handles.
char *ptr; char **hand; ptr = sysmem_newptr(2000); post("I have a pointer %lx and it is %ld bytes in size",ptr, sysmem_ptrsize(ptr)); ptr = sysmem_resizeptrclear(ptr, 3000); post("Now I have a pointer %lx and it is %ld bytes in size",ptr, sysmem_ptrsize(ptr)); sysmem_freeptr(ptr); hand = sysmem_newhandle(2000); post("I have a handle %lx and it is %ld bytes in size",hand, sysmem_handlesize(hand)); sysmem_resizehandle(hand, 3000); post("Now the handle %lx is %ld bytes in size",hand, sysmem_ptrsize(hand)); sysmem_freehandle(hand);

I'm finally back in England!! After a two week holiday in France and previously spending two weeks in Vienna it seems like forever since I have been properly 'home'. Haha, this won't last long though as I'm starting University on Saturday - all the way up in Durham. Thus, I'm making the most of the weather here and bracing myself for the icy cold winds in the North - probably going to get frostbite and die.... (so *+melodramatic*+). Here is an outfit that makes me feel particularly British - perhaps a bit sickening actually, complete with hat and blazer. Au revoir for now Xxx

The Guy Who Invented The Segway Made A Mind-Controlled Prosthetic Arm That Really Works
The prosthetic arm, which was created by Segway inventor Dean Kamen, could be controlled through its user's thoughts and is capable of performing complex functions.
The mind-controlled prosthetic, called the DEKA Arm, can detect up to 10 movements and is the same size and weight as a natural human arm, according to a statement from the FDA first spotted by Bloomberg.
The DEKA Arm detects electrical activity caused by the contraction of muscles close to where the prosthesis is attached. Those electrical signals are then sent to a computer processor in the DEKA Arm, which triggers a specific movement.
During its trial, the FDA equipped 36 participants with the DEKA Arm to determine how it performed during household tasks. According to the FDA, 90 percent of participants were able to complete tasks that they couldn't with their current prosthesis, which include using keys and locks, preparing food, feeding oneself, brushing hair and using zippers.
The DEKA Arm has been nicknamed Luke after the "Star Wars" protagonist who receives an arm replacement in "The Empire Strikes Back."
The DEKA Arm can be configured for those with limb loss at the shoulder, mid-upper arm, or mid-lower arm. It can't be used in scenarios involving limb loss at the elbow or wrist joint.
The FDA claims that this is the first prosthetic arm controlled by electrical signals that can accomplish multiple movements at once. The U.S. Defense Department's Advanced Research Agency has contributed $40 million to the project, which is part of its Revolutionizing Prosthetics program.
The method of controlling the DEKA Arm is unique in that uses "end point control," Linda Resnik, a research health scientist with Providence VA Medical Center, said in a video showcasing the technology used in a trial in 2012.
This means that the user can think about the position of the terminal device, or end of the prosthesis, and move that around in space. That type of technology is what makes it easier to position separate joints such as individual fingers.
Here are some examples from that study which show the precision that the DEKA Arm is capable of.

Keep your cool on a Space Age mattress
Long summer days may not be the only reason you might be sleeping less. New synthetic bedding materials such as memory foam that make comfortable mattresses more affordable have a drawback: They don't breathe and are not absorbent.
Heat trapped in solid-foam mattresses and pillows can trigger sweating. Excessive humidity can cause rheumatic pain.
Designers in Germany, Italy and Israel have solved those problems with ingenious, thick, quilted woven cotton or synthetic 3-D fabrics (created originally for sportswear) wrapped around or fused to foam mattresses, pillows or mattress toppers. If you were to cut through the 3-D fabric or top layer you'd see it is made of vertical strands of synthetic fibers with air "chimneys" between them that allow heat to flow up and out. Some are braided together at the top to create more openings and air channels between the mattress and user.
Bedding made with this simple anti-sweat technology is as effective as beds made of cotton and down. Several products on the market use slightly different 3-D fabrics. Italy's Magniflex comfort pillows have Coolmax, with a hexagonal fiber; Israel's Hollandia International uses a 3-D fabric with a braided top; Therapedic uses Outlast fabric, a woven cotton and viscose version created for NASA, to achieve the same cooling effects for its bedding.
At a glance
Expert opinion: Avi Barssessat, CEO of Hollandia, based in Tel Aviv, has adapted underwear fabric from Germany for mattresses that are cooler and more comfortable. "We found a material at our underwear manufacturers that could release body heat and developed it as a 3-D polyester mesh that also acts like a spacer fabric for beds," he says. "But you have to avoid using polyester-blend bed linens," he says. "They won't breathe."
Gerry Borreggine, president of Therapedic sleep products, deployed Outlast sports fabric for mattresses. "It was developed for NASA and the army," he says. The cotton and viscose fabric is woven so it repels moisture and heat buildup. "You can remove it to wash it. That's healthy."
Andrea Mugnai, the general manager of Magniflex USA, adopted a Dupont design - Coolmax cooling fabric - for its open-cell foam core mattresses before Nike or Adidas used it for sweat-free shoes.
Pros: Magniflex's ergonomically shaped plant-derived foam pillows are covered with a removable 3-D Coolmax fabric that can be washed and is made of recyclable materials. Hollandia International makes mattresses with washable 3D fabric covers in several colors.
Cons: Mattress toppers by Therapedic made of memory foam with vertical fibers and wrapped in a cotton anti-mildew cover have a slight odor when new. Like other foams, the cores are not machine washable.
Prices: Therapedic mattress toppers with Outlast fabric: $149-$300 (available at Bed, Bath and Beyond). Hollandia International 3-D mattresses with 3-D fabric and foundations range from $2,500-$6,000; standard pillow with 3-D fabric and core: $149. Magniflex Comfort pillows: $100 and up (available at Ergo Sleep Systems in Berkeley).

An Economic Explanation For Why DRM Cannot Open Up New Business Model Opportunities
from the shrinking,-not-expanding,-the-pie deptContinuing my increasingly lengthy series of posts on the economics of non-scarce goods, I wanted to take a look at an issue that I mentioned in passing earlier this week concerning the ongoing insistence among the entertainment industry (and the DRM industry) that DRM somehow will open up new business models. I'd like to explain why, economically, that doesn't make sense.
First, to clarify, I should point out that, technically, I mean that it doesn't make sense that DRM could ever open up feasible or successful business models. Anyone can create a new unsuccessful business model. For example, I'm now selling $1 bills for $1,000. It's a new business model (well, perhaps not to the dot coms of the original dot com boom), but it's unlikely to be a successful one (if you disagree, and would like to pay me $1,000 for $1, please use the feedback form above to make arrangements). However, for a new business model to make sense, it needs to provide more value. Providing more value than people can get elsewhere is the reason why a business model succeeds. So, any new business model must be based on adding additional value.
The good news is that value is not a scarce concept. Unfortunately, there are too many in this world who view value and growth as a zero-sum game. They believe that there's some fundamental limit on the possibility of adding value, and therefore, business models are about moving around a limited amount of value, rather than expanding it. It's the same fallacy facing those who have trouble understanding zero and infinity in economics. The economist Paul Romer's discussion on Economic Growth offers a concise explanation for this:
Economic growth occurs whenever people take resources and rearrange them in ways that are more valuable. A useful metaphor for production in an economy comes from the kitchen. To create valuable final products, we mix inexpensive ingredients together according to a recipe. The cooking one can do is limited by the supply of ingredients, and most cooking in the economy produces undesirable side effects. If economic growth could be achieved only by doing more and more of the same kind of cooking, we would eventually run out of raw materials and suffer from unacceptable levels of pollution and nuisance. Human history teaches us, however, that economic growth springs from better recipes, not just from more cooking. New recipes generally produce fewer unpleasant side effects and generate more economic value per unit of raw material.Note that it's the non-scarce products, the recipes and the ideas, that helps expand the value of the limited resources, the ingredients. You expand value by creating new non-scarce goods that make scarce goods more valuable -- and you can keep on doing so, indefinitely. Successful new business models are about creating those non-scarce goods and helping them increase value. Any new business model must be based around increasing the overall pie. It's about recognizing that creating value isn't about shifting around pieces of a limited economic pie -- but making the overall pie bigger.
Every generation has perceived the limits to growth that finite resources and undesirable side effects would pose if no new recipes or ideas were discovered. And every generation has underestimated the potential for finding new recipes and ideas. We consistently fail to grasp how many ideas remain to be discovered. The difficulty is the same one we have with compounding. Possibilities do not add up. They multiply.
DRM is fundamentally opposed to this concept. It is not increasing value for the consumer in any way, but about limiting it. It takes the non-scarce goods, the very thing that helps increase value, and constrains them. Those non-scarce goods are what increase the pie and open up new opportunities for those who know where to capture the monetary rewards of that value (within other limited resources). DRM, on the other hand, holds back that value and prevents it from being realized. It shrinks the pie -- and no successful business models come out of providing less value and shrinking the overall pie. Fundamentally, DRM cannot create a successful new business model. It can only contain one.

Here's the deal, I love buying and trying out new beauty and health products. Usually as soon as I start using something I think it is the best thing in the world, but then after a few weeks some of the things make it under my sink and I stop using them for one reason or another.
In a hopes to organize my vanity in my bathroom, I am trying to use up all of my products, or if for some reason I do not want to use them anymore, I will tell you why and throw them out.
Let me tell you a little about my skin first. I have oily, acne prone skin with dry patches on my cheeks which the doctor diagnosed as eczema. I have never had perfect skin, so I have been on the mission to find the perfect regimen that will keep my skin clean. This is why I try out so many things.
So lets get started!
Product name: Burts Bees Acne Spot Treament
Where did I purchase: Target
Cost: $9.99
What the product claims to do: This natural spot treatment is clinically proven to help reduce and improve the appearance of blemishes without irritating skin. Formulated with Tea Tree, Calendula, Yarrow, and Parsley Extracts to help soothe skin and reduce redness and Borage Extract to promote healthy skin resulting in clear and smooth skin, naturally.
My thoughts: This product is very hard to apply, If you use a cotton ball, I feel that it wastes to much product (the bottle being so small as it is already) It stings when you apply (which does not bother me) However, I did not notice any difference by using this product. I feel that the blemish goes away on its own without using anything in the same time as using this product.
Will I repurchase? NO
Product name: Burts Bees Citrus Facial Scrub
Where did I purchase:Target
Cost: $7.14
What the product claims to do: Uncover a pristine complexion with Citrus Facial Scrub. This blend of almonds, orange peel, and rose petals gently exfoliates and leaves skin clean and clear. 99.4% natural.
My thoughts: I am in love with this facial scrub. I used to use it every day to scrub of all of my makeup at the end of the day. Now that I got myself a clarisonic, I use this scrub about 2-3 times a week. It smells amazing and just melts all of your makeup off.
Will I repurchase? Yes! I am already on my second jar!
Product name: Clinique Acne Solutions Clear Skin System
Where did I purchase: Nordstrom
Cost: $34.00
What the product claims to do: Three simple steps that effectively work together to treat acne and help prevent future breakouts. The system starts to work immediately and you can begin to see results within days.
My thoughts: As much as I wanted this system to work for me, it did not. It irritated my skin even more, using a salicylic acid cleanser and clarifying lotion followed by a 2.5% benzoyl peroxide treatment was to much for my sensitive skin to handle. But because I wanted so badly for this system to work, I made myself finish the whole regimen. I still had many breakout and irritated red skin when I was done using this regimen.
Will I repurchase? NO
Product name: LUSH Cosmetic Warrior Fresh Face Mask
Where did I purchase: LUSH In Store only
Cost: $6.00
What the product claims to do: Cosmetic Warrior is kind to problem laden faces thanks to moisturizing egg whites and honey, but effectively cleans and disinfects spots with antiseptic garlic and tea tree oil.
My thoughts: I really like the cosmetic warrior, I was afraid that it would smell like garlic, but it smells like tea tree oil. It is a fresh face mask, you need to use it up within 2-3 weeks. This little jar is enough for about 2-3 masks a week, so a total of 6-7 masks. It soothes my face, leaving my face soft and pores tightened, I also feel that it reduces redness.
Will I repurchase? YES
Product name: Burts Bees Radiance Day Creme With Royal Jelly
Where did I purchase: Target
Cost: $17.99
What the product claims to do:This wonderfully natural moisturizer is specially formulated with the most powerful nutrient in nature, Royal Jelly, that helps increase cell, renewal, significantly enhance radiance, and minimize the appearance of fine lines. With Bee Pollen to maintain essential moisture, Cherry Bark extract to calm and soothe, and Burdock and Birch extracts in increase elasticity and circulation, you'll get naturally radiant, younger looking skin.
99.02% Natural. Paraben Free/ Phthalate Free
My thoughts: Oh my goodness! This is the best moisturizer I have ever tried. It made my dry patches disappear (which my doctor told me was eczema) It made my skin seem radiant. almost glowy, It must be the royal jelly. At $17.99, It is more on a expensive side for me, but after throwing away money on so many moisturizers which did not do my face any good, I am so glad I decided to try this moisturizer out. Now that I ran out, my dry patches reappeared, So I need to pick more up ASAP.
Will I repurchase? YES
Product name: Covergirl LashBlast Fusion Mascara
Where did I purchase:Walmart
Cost: $7.98
What the product claims to do:Use Lash Blast Fusion to get a blast of volume plus incredible length! It's the perfect fusion of Lash Blast's super-volumizing brush and a buildable fiber-stretch lengthening formula that work together for dense, long-looking lashes!
My thoughts: This is my go to mascara when I am in a rush and do not want to curl my lashes. I love it and have been using it for years.
Will I repurchase? YES
Product name: Acne Free Scar Fade & Erase
Where did I purchase: Amazon
Cost: $11.33
What the product claims to do: Oil free scar fade and erase lotion evens out red, discolored post acne marks left behind by acne.
My Thoughts: I bought this product last year, I used it then for a few weeks and noticed blotches on my skin where it was "lightened" I stopped using it right away. The blochiness faded, but the hyper pigmentation was still there. I found this in my bathroom and decided to try it out again, this time spreading it evenly all over my face. The next morning after using this product, it looked like my face was burned. It was red and blotchy. I am not going to be using this product. I am going to toss it.
Will I repurchase? No
Product name: Burt's Bees Cranberry & Pomegranate Sugar Scrub
Where did I purchase: Walmart
Cost: $12.97
What the product claims to do: This great smelling body sugar scrub exfoliates your skin and removes all the dead skin to reveal healthy glowing skin. You can relax and rewind as the luxurious blend of deliciously sweet cranberry seeds, pomegranate oil, natural sugar crystals and Shea butter work to gently polish and condition your skin. Regular use of this natural sugar scrub will leave your skin feeling silky and soft, naturally. 100 % natural.
My Thoughts: This is my first body scrub I have ever used. This stuff smells amazing! It's funny that on the container it says DO NOT EAT! Ha ha!! It smells so good that you would want to eat it!
I usually take quick showers, but at least once a week, I have my hubby watch the kids so I can pamper myself (masks, deep conditioning, scrubs, doing my nails). I use this on my elbow and knees. However, I feel that it leaves my skin oily. I need to use a washcloth to wash the slippery feeling off. Probably defeating the whole purpose, I just don't like the oily feeling. I think next, I will try a salt scrub.
Will I repurchase? No
Product name: Neutrogena On-the-Spot Acne Treatment
Where did I purchase: Walgreens
Cost: $6.00
What the product claims to do: This on-the-spot acne treatment stocks Benzoyl Peroxide, the hardworking pimple fighter, in a moderate, 2.5-percent solution. Just enough to clear up your blemishes, but not so much that skin is left red, dry or irritated.
My Thoughts: I used to use this product all the time whenever I had a blemish. However I got a lot of breakouts in the beginning of January, so I generously rubbed this onto my forehead at night and woke up the next morning with swollen eyes, I discontinued the use of this, and my eyes went back to normal. Next time I dotted this on my blemishes and my eyes got irritated again. I do not know what changed in my skin, I never got these kind of reactions to this product, but decided I will not be buying anymore benzoyl peroxide products. Since I stopped using this, I have not had any more reactions.
Will I repurchase? No
Product name: Neutrogena Rapid Clear Acne Spot Gel
Where did I purchase: Walgreens
Cost: $6.00
What the product claims to do: A maximum strength acne treatment for breakout emergencies that clears breakouts fast and helps prevent emerging breakouts even before they become visible.
My Thoughts: I have changed up my face regimen and my face is doing so much better. This is a new thing I have added to my face routine and I can see it helping me.
Will I repurchase? Yes, I have already repurchased this.
That's all of my used up products for right now. I can now throw these containers out!! Yippee!
Have you used any of these products? What did you think of them?
Do you have any recent product reviews? leave a link in the comments, I would love to check it out. :)

In this article, you'll learn:
What every invoice must include
How to issue invoices from anywhere, fast
The most efficient way to manage invoicing
Invoicing. You've heard it discussed and are familiar with the process. You've likely sent invoices of your own and received invoices from suppliers requesting payment.
They're an unavoidable part of doing business and a crucial document in the sales process. An invoice provides both you and your buyer with a binding legal agreement that a payment will be made for products or a service provided.
Invoicing can be a time-consuming process and yet, it doesn't have to be. The introduction of online invoice software made it possible to create invoices faster than ever before, with the additional benefit of making it easy to keep invoices organised all in one place.
Because invoices are considered legally binding, each completed invoice must include specific information. The required details can vary by country regulations, but in the UK all invoices must clearly state the following:
A unique, sequential invoice number
The name and contact details of your business
Your customer's name and contact information
The date the invoice is issued
A description of the products or service
The price of each product or service
The VAT (if applicable)
The total
By including this information on your invoice, it will be considered a legal fiscal document. But an invoice is more than just a sales agreement. It's a point of communication between you and your customer.
An invoice can be an additional means to make your brand, your business more memorable to your customer and open opportunities for future sales and word-of-mouth. That's why it is generally a good idea to also include your logo and some kind of customisation of your invoice design.
If you think about the invoices you receive, many look exactly the same. But here and there, a few stand out from the crowd and it's guaranteed that these are the ones you'll remember.
It's no longer necessary to carry around an invoice template paper pad and pen, it's not even necessary to be sitting at a computer to create and manage your invoices. Mobile apps and technology have provided the tools to invoice from anywhere.
Smartphone apps allow you to issue an invoice while on your way to a meeting, or even on the spot after you have completed a job.
Mobile invoicing options mean that you never have to worry about remembering to get to your invoices later that day, and prevents the possibility of invoices piling up to the point where you have to take care of many all at once.
After all, the faster you issue an invoice, the sooner you'll get paid.
Automation in invoicing software has significantly decreased the amount of time needed to issue an invoice. By adding the option to save details on customers and products, all that is required to add these details to your invoice is a click (or tap in the mobile app)!
Once your invoice numbers start climbing, you might find it becoming more difficult to stay on top of the status of each invoice without a very thorough filing system. Even working with invoice created from Word or Excel templates require different folders and you remembering to move them each time a status changes.
Each invoice goes through a series of activities: draft, completed, sent, viewed, unpaid, paid, and sometimes: overdue. Sorting your invoices into the correct folders depending on where each invoice stands in the process.
How is it possible to know whether an invoice has been viewed? You might be thinking that the only way is if you hand the invoice over yourself and watch your customer read it. However, if you send invoices online, good invoicing software tracks the email and notifies you when it's been opened.
Invoicing software also automatically updates the status of your invoices, allowing you to effortlessly sort and track which invoice still needs to be sent, which needs a follow-up and more.
The invoicing process can also include more than just the completed invoice. Often, sales start with a quotation or a proforma invoice and delivery note. Sometimes, an invoice needs to be amended or cancelled and this involves a credit note. With invoicing software, all steps and documents that could be required in the sales process are just as easy to create as your invoice.
In summary
Your invoice must include a certain set of information in order to be considered a legal document, but this process need not be tedious or time-consuming. Invoicing software allows you to create invoices quickly and manage your invoices both while on the road or at your home or office.

Ariana is a 5 reel fixed 25 payline slot game from Microgaming. It may well be Microgaming's latest foray into the underwater themed slot games. Providing a soothing and calming effect; the blue theme of the game will have you playing for a long time.
Ariana symbols
The deep blue ocean is the perfect background for the beautiful Ariana to swim around. Simmering in the weak sunlight; the treasure chests, aquatic weeds and a view of the sea bed are the high paying symbols of this slot game. The card symbols of 10, J, Q, K and A seems a bit odd when seen on the reels.
Features Game
Expanding symbols feature will keep those winnings coming in thick and fast. It is an interesting feature, wherein the full symbol stacked on the first reel will expand all the matching high symbols on the other reels. This happens only when the matching symbols are part of the winning payline.
Wilds: The text Arian is the wild symbol. It will substitute the other symbols except for the scatter symbol. The wild symbol is stacked on the first reel during the free spins.
Scatters: The Starfish symbol is the scatter that will pay the scatter wins. Appearing anywhere on the reels; you can trigger the free spins feature whenever 3 or more of these symbols are seen.
You will win 15 free spins which can be re-triggered whenever the starfish symbols are seen during the free spins.
The expanding symbol feature is seen even during the free spins feature. Here also, the full symbol stacked on the first reel, will expand all the matching high symbols and the Wild symbol, on the other reels.
Min / Max Bet per spin (£/$/€): 0.25 – 125.0
Jackpots (£/$/€): upto 30,000 (free spins)
panapos nga mga hunahuna
The Ariana is yet another underwater themed slot game. The fixed payline may be considered a disadvantage for the penny slots player. Overall, it is a simple game with exceptional winning chances.

living the one-sixth world : 1/6 adidas kicks
general toyland mass market? i'll talk about what i have and know so far:
*mondo-more details and images after the jump*
most available right now in the aftersales market (as they might be "parted out" or sold "loose") would likely be the adidas from Dragon Models (DML) (HK).
most "common" are the WHITE-versions. available are 2 styles, Clean (from Initial-D figures) and Dirty (ie: DML Jones) and BLACK. there is also the more rare RED-version, which is only available with the exclusive DML/Toy2R Skull Guards sets. the fit for Dragon-kicks are actually quite good for generic 1/6th-figures, more so then other styles, IMHO.
on the far right is a much earlier version (my first adidas) which came out yeeaaaaars ago, via (probably) Elite Brigade and unfortunately was crude in terms of details and definition.
for more detailed stylings, there is Hot Toy's Sneaker Vision series One and Two, with a slightly wider variety of colors/stripes. (cool shelltops)
the downside of this is, they are actually quite huge for 1/6th-feet, IMHO. having a pair of 1/6th-socks helps a tad, which is quite a shame tho.
other brands i've seen (and own) are notably Hot Toy's "hand-made" kicks (above image-left) which came with their SDU-figures. the fit is quite decent and recommended, altho they might "come apart" given time. and an unknown-brand (procured years back in HK) which came in a variety of colorways (above image-right) but is a blardy tight-fit (as seen its stuck on my BBi-G1 feet) but will be
image-far-right is of a "standard" Sneaker-Vision kick, for scale comparision.
am i missing anything, folks? *hyuks*

Our products are functional, efficient and communicate an appreciation for good design.
Crane's unique sense of design, an unwavering commitment to quality, and always remaining a step ahead of the crowd, allows us to continue to create our own distinctive interpretation of small home appliance design. "
I had the opportunity to review an adorable Crane humidifier.
Humidifiers are an absolute necessity for most any child, and mine is no exception. We previously had a generic (i.e. ugly) humidifier in his room. Yeah, it worked fine and served it's purpose, but man, it really stood out like a sore thumb in his bright and colorful room! I was so excited to see the large selection of bright and colorful humidifiers that Crane has to offer!
I chose the red dragon Cool Mist Humidifier, which matches Cooper's room perfectly! But does it work well, too? Yes, it really does! We have used this in Cooper's room every night and I can tell that it is helping to get rid of that pesky cough that he has had for weeks now!
Another really awesome thing about the Crane humidifier is that it is very easy to care for and clean. It has a 1 gallon water tank that fits easily under most sinks for filling. It also has an auto off function for when the tank is empty.
Crane has offered to giveaway a humidifier of choice to one lucky winner!
