My main Web site (www.judywebster.com.au) has more than 53,000 names from Archives records, certificates, cemetery headstones, etc; free advice about sources and problem-solving techniques for family history; and my own family tree.
I have been interested in family history since the 1970s. Most of my personal research involves England, Scotland and Australia, but I have recently discovered an Irish ancestor. I also have German and Prussian forebears, but someone else has been investigating those lines. Use the tabs above to go to pages with details of surnames and places I am researching.
In 1986 I established my own part-time business as a professional genealogist, and I was subsequently accredited by the Australasian Association of Genealogists and Record Agents. I have a Graduate Diploma in Local and Applied History (University of New England, Armidale NSW). In 2001 I received the Queensland Family History Society's Award for Services to Family History.
My professional speciality is research at Queensland State Archives. I particularly enjoy tracing living descendants and working with unusual sources that overcome 'dead ends' in family history research. My Web site includes details of my publications, seminars and research services.
On a more personal note... my interests (apart from family history) include reading, gardening, travel, photography, paper-making and collecting postcards.

Logo Created for Memphis Brands Selected Among Nation's Best
Two award-winning logos created by Memphis branding company Tactical Magic for local organizations have been included in the 10th volume of LogoLounge, the nation's leading publication of branding and identity design work.
The "Mojo of Midtown" logo, created for the Midtown Memphis Development Corporation (MMDC), features a gritty retro-funky style, in keeping with the district's character. The PuppyUp monogram represents that organization's positive and relentless dedication to canine cancer research. More than 37,000 logos were submitted for publication by the nation's branding experts who published LogoLounge, but only 10 percent were selected to appear in the design book's newest publication.
Trace Hallowell, Tactical Magic's creative director, said his firm's trademarks have appeared in LogoLounge more than 20 times since the firm was founded sixteen years ago. "We were honored and delighted to work with brands like MMDC and PuppyUp. I am proud to see not-for-profits get recognition, alongside our business clients."
Andy Kitsinger, chairman of the MMDC, said, "Our Mojo of Midtown logo is a hit with our stakeholders and captures the vibe and originality of our brand.''
"If you can, be first. If you can't be first, create a new category in which you can be first."

2. Players must agree on the models used in the battle.
3. Keep it friendly.
4. Show no mercy.
Seej is an Open Source tabletop wargame designed to advance the state of 3D printing through competition and player-directed evolution. Players print their own armaments and fortifications for use in battle. If you can print it, it's legal to use in the game.
The rules to Seej are open source and infinitely expandable. Seej is distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.
At a minimum, you'll need to download and print the Seej starter set. It contains flags, catapults, and two kinds of bloxen.
Print two sets, find an opponent, and have fun storming the castle!
These models are free to download and print. They are also distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, so players are free to modify and remix them for their own games.
Players start with three flags, 10 pennies, as many blocks as they like, and at least one siege engine. Try to keep the sides evenly matched. (See Core Rule #3.)
Players agree on a battlefield size. About 1m apart seems to be the right distance for playing with the Zheng3 Penny Catapult. Each player builds a castle and places flags.
Flip a coin to see who goes first.
Players take turns firing projectiles at their opponent's castle. The first player to topple all three enemy flags wins the game.
Be safe! Although you're unlikely to injure anyone with the Zheng3 Penny Catapult, the Zheng3 Penny Ballista can do some real damage to soft tissues. Wear eye protection, or better yet, fearlessly face down your enemies with one of these.
This might be a bit much.
Good design, good engineering, and good luck are the three pillars upon which a Seej victory is built. Design your Seej engines well, for your opponents are busy forging superior fortifications in OpenSCAD and SketchUp.
Players may not touch the enemy's models. Projectiles must be launched from a siege engine: no throwing, dropping, spitting, or otherwise directly involving a human in the siege.
Once a projectile has been fired it's considered out of play. Keep your unspent ammunition separate from the battlefield to avoid confusion. Play with a backstop to keep projectiles from getting lost.
In the event of a tie, pick up spent projectiles and use them to continue the game. First player to topple an opponent's flag wins.
No flag may be placed more than 2 block lengths from the leading edge of your castle's wall. This rule is to prevent smarty-pantses from hiding a flag behind a bookcase.
Strongly suggested: Castle walls should be made of interlocking blocks no larger than 5x3x3 cm. Blocks should fit together loosely enough to give the opponent a sporting chance of destroying a wall with a 10-penny bombardment. (See Core Rule #3.)
Seej engines can be picked up and moved anywhere behind the line created by the leading edge of your structure.
Flags toppled by out-of-game events (seismic activity, strong winds, acts of Dog, etc) may be righted without penalty.
Add or remove as many house rules as you like, as long as all players agree to them before the coin toss. If a rule survives a few games, post it to the wiki.
There's a wiki for all things Seej at wiki.s33j.net. There you'll find rules variants, links to Seej engines and fortifications, and a
barren wasteland of fire and ash growing, mostly unwashed rabble of Seej players.
The wiki has a few active members, so head on over there, join us, and start laying down some rules for the rest of us to follow. You can leave a comment on the Discussion Board even if you're not a member.

Unskippable: Zone of the Enders
Pages 1 2 3 4 NEXT
A little boy runs from giant mechs, in spaaaace!
The only thing I remember about this game was it had the MGS2 demo on it.
And I've got to use 'Run, or you'll be crushed by the bloated narrative!' at least once in conversation.
one game I never bought, and never will!
Hehe. Funny monkeys.
You know, I like these videos but really, some cutscenes are so bad that no amount of snarky commentary can save them.
At least you didn't subject us to any scene in which the main character talks. Those were really painful.
They all look like Metal gears?!
all the flashbacks, explosions and angle changing in this cut scene made it impossible for me to follow what the hell was going on, Paul and grahams smooth voices was all i had to cling on so i would not be lost in insanity and confusion.
I, too, will be making a conscious effort to use said line. It has way too much potential.
Another great episode!
Awesome Clerks reference. I never get tired of it. "In a row?"
Wow, zone of the enders is pretty damn old. I'm amazed they chose something that came out in the first generation of ps2 games. What's next? Are they gonna dust off Legend of the Dragoon or Grandia 2 (saturn version).
Well, the game itself was pretty fun.
ZOE2 was a lot better (although it also had some pretty ridiculous cutscenes)
i got both zone of enders games
"And what is the room inside the nose called?". Fantastic.
I have no fucking idea what that cut scene was about. Still, funny episode.
"This is the face of a man voiding his boils"
forgot how bad the first games plot was, now I remember
I'm amazed we got through this whole cutscene without a single Evangelion reference. The whole time I was thinking "Wow, they took Shinji and made him even lamer."
Orson Scott Card was the first thing that came to my mind too when I saw "Enders". lol
"In A.D. 2172, war was beginning."
Zero Wing reference FTW!
I hated that litte shit, "I don't wanna hurt anyone!", STFU AND DO MY BIDDING!!
Agree 100%. Second Runner is an amazing game.
This game never made any sense! Makes a good Unskippable though.
You two still have excellent chemistry.
he just fell in to the cockpit
Yes, quality placement of the Flight of the Navigator pun. :)
Kid: Ace Mech Pilot.
I've got the GBA ZoE game (Fist of Mars), it's pretty cool... Are the console ones anything like it?
The cockpit gag really only worked because you set it up at the beginning of the video... still, that was damn funny.
Dude maybe it is just because it's Christmas byt the "hehe I'm watching you" robot looks like he is wearing a santa hat! haha.
Cockpits shafts..............they just did it to us again didn't they.
I finally got it again from ebay after 5 long years without it....at least I think it was 5 years, I cannae really be arsed to check.
One of my all time favourites.
Oh... when I saw that it was ZOE... I was a kid again...
I'll second that, Second Runner was a lot more fun.
Loved this game. You did a great job with it! So funny! God...takes me back!
Did those guys really expect him to save them after they tried to sell him out to the police? I mean really, who wouldn't let them get crushed by a giant mech?

|- USERRA Advisor
Welcome to the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) Advisor
This Advisor assists veterans in understanding employee eligibility and job entitlements, employer obligations, benefits and remedies under USERRA. The law is intended to encourage non-career uniformed service so that America can enjoy the protection of those services, staffed by qualified people, while maintaining a balance with the needs of private and public employers who also depend on these same individuals.
Employers are required to provide to persons entitled to the rights and benefits under USERRA, a notice of the rights, benefits and obligations of such persons and such employers under USERRA. Employers may provide the notice, "Your Rights Under USERRA", by posting it where employee notices are customarily placed. However, employers are free to provide the notice to employees in other ways that will minimize costs while ensuring that the full text of the notice is provided (e.g., by handing or mailing out the notice, or distributing the notice via electronic mail).
The USERRA Advisor was developed by the Veterans' Employment and Training Service (VETS). It includes links to more detailed information, such as links to regulatory text, publications and organizations. Additional information is also available from the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR).
VETS has developed an Internet-based system that allows USERRA claimants to submit a claim electronically. ESGR and VETS staff are available to provide technical assistance prior to filing an official claim.
The USERRA Advisor is one of a series of elaws (Employment Laws Assistance for Workers and Small Businesses) Advisors developed by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) to help employers and employees understand their rights and responsibilities under federal employment laws.

First ingredient is a named meat product
Uses primarily low quality ingredients, controversial filler
The first ingredient in this food is a named meat product, in meal form. It is the sole meat ingredient in the food. Since it is only one of three ingredients ahead of the fat content and has a supportive macronutrient breakdown, we are inclined to believe that the meat content in this product is adequate (not fantastic, but adequate).
The good news ends there, however. The main grains in the food are corn and barley. Barley is a decent quality grain, but corn is a difficult to digest grain of limited value and that is commonly implicated in food allergy problems. Further grains in the food include corn gluten meal and rice bran, both of which are fragments. Corn Gluten Meal is the dried residue from corn after the removal of the larger part of the starch and germ, and the separation of the bran by the process employed in the wet milling manufacture of corn starch or syrup, or by enzymatic treatment of the endosperm. In plain English, that bit of the corn leftover after most of the nutritious bits have been removed. Oats are a decent quality grain. We note that chicken fat is the fourth ingredient in the food. Research at Purdue University has identified fat in the top four ingredients of a dry food as a factor increasing the risk of bloat in large breed dogs. Smaller breeds are untested.
Beet pulp is controversial filler which appears to be used in large quantities in this food. It is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required. The food contains a small amount of vegetable matter in the form of sweet potatoes.
Overall, this food appears to contain the minimum acceptable amount of meat, however the remaining ingredients (including major ingredients) are of low quality - as is the resultant product.

Seven years into a massive renovation project that will reach from its outer walls and gopurams to the innermost sanctum of Lord Siva Nataraja, the Chidambaram Temple is regaining an outer splendor nearly equaling and beauty of its fathomless spirituality. Gradually, as the teams of workers complete extensive structural and surface work on one section and then another of the enormous, 40-acre temple, new life and luster is bursting forth, giving its 1,200-year-old architecture back its pristine glory.
This 20th-century round of repair and renovation work began in 1975 with a small army of historical-technical supervisors, stapathis, masonary and plaster artisans, foremen and construction workers setting up camp in Chidambaram's precincts. Their Herculean, rebuild-engineer-plaster-and-paint assault includes: repairing and reworking the 15-foot-high, nearly one-mile-long outer wall of the temple; very extensive work on the four main gopurams, including restoring literally thousands of individual figures; refurbishing several temple mandapams; completely rejuvenating the three temples to Shakti, Muruga and Ganesha, which are themselves large temples by most standards; reworking the prakaram mathils, tirumaligaipathis and other artistic structures; building comfortable priest facilities; cleaning the hundreds of marble and granite pillars; polishing the solid gold tiles of inner sanctum roof; building a brand new 200-yard-long pavilion in front of the Thousand-Pillared Hall, for devotees to sit under to watch artistic performances; building a pavilion around the sacred Kondrai tree near the East gopuram; recobbling the outer courtyards of the temple; making extensive repairs on the temple tank; carving 108 small, granite Nandi bulls for the top of the outer wall to replace the decayed plaster ones make 400 years ago; installing a foot-washing facility for pilgrims near the main temple entrance and installing lighting throughout the temple! This stupendous project is guided by the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowment Department's "Master Plan" - per a resolution adopted by the General Body of the Podu Dikshitars.
Although Chidambaram Temple's origins are obscured, it is known to have existed in a semblance of its present form for at least twelve centuries and predates this phase as a miniature temple by many centuries more. Including extensive additions, Chidambaram has undergone renovation work on numerous occasions, each renovation reflecting the current materials and artistic styles established for that period. G. Vagheesam Pillai, Secretary of the Chidambaram Renovation Committee, says the last repair and renovation project occurred some 400 years ago.
The Chidambaram renovation project is all the more remarkable, for its subject is a living, working temple. Indeed, it is pulsing with spiritual power. Chidambaram, though ancient, is by no means feebled by its age. To most Saivites, it is the most sacred of all Saivite temples. To renovate and revitalize "Sacred Thillai" is for Saivites the world over truly wonderful and extraordinary.
In the late 1960's an international team of some 100 of the world's best engineers spent millions of dollars and the good part of a year in slicing up and moving one of Egypt's cyclopean Pharaonic busts to escape the inundation of the Nile. It will be admired, appreciated aesthetically, but because the culture and religion that gave it life are gone it will not carry the living value it formerly radiated. The once staggeringly opulent city of medieval Vijayanagar (in Karnataka State) is being rebuilt on a diminished scale out of its own rubble. No one will live there, but a visitor can momentarily relive its past. The renovation project at Chidambaram is different. Here the Saivite culture still prevails, and the worship has never waned.
The "Master Plan" calls for 4.5 million rupees (about U.S.$450,000) to be pumped into the project, all of which needs to be raised through private charitable sources, as Chidambaram has no fund-raising property of its own. Remarkably, the original budget schedule of the project has held its own against inflation, although the final 'real' cost won't be known until the project is complete - estimated by Vagheesam Pillai to be in late 1984 or early 1985. To date, approximately 3.2 million rupees have been raised and spent. Simple arithmetic shows that well over a million more rupees are needed to finish the project. In observing the progress of the fund-raising, R. Ramalingam, Asst. Secretary of the Renovation Committee, said, "Raising the funds for the project has at times been difficult. In the past, the rajas (kings) would subsidize and be directly involved with the temple's renovation. Today we have to rely solely on contributions from private organizations, other temples and individuals interested in the welfare of the temple." After focusing their fund-raising activities in India over the past years, the Renovation Committee is looking towards Saivites in other parts of the world to take up the financial slack of the project. (For those who want to make the contribution towards Chidamabram's renovation, we have given the appropriate address at the end of this article.)
The overall strategy of the renovation is to "work from the perimeters of the temple in," says M. Chinnadurai, one of the stapathis connected with the work. Looking down on Chidamabaram from a birds-eye view reveals its ground design of four spacious courts, each with its own Rajagopuram facing one of the cardinal directions. Starting with the 5,200-foot length of the surrounding rectangular outer wall, an the four towering Rajagopurams placed midpoint in each of the wall's four sides, the repair teams have spent much of the past seven years structure that had caved in. Whole sections of the wall had crumbled down leaving jagged and gaping holes. Clumps of trees had taken root and were growing right on the walls, causing even more structural damage to the surrounding sections. Vagheesam Pillai notes, "Both the inner and outer faces of the surrounding wall are receiving very extensive repairs, rebuilding; and its ornamentation will be freshly painted, giving it a brand new look while preserving the original style of construction.
Probably the most time consuming phase of the renovation work is the massive (over 7 stories) and intricately detailed gopurams, each of which takes about one and a half years to complete rejuvenate. Due to centuries of exposure to extreme weather gradients, whole tiers of the Rajagopuram's sculptured figures had begun to disintegrate. Faces, arms, hands, legs and symbolic accouterments of the inner-being figures had eroded away, exposing at many places the underlying brick of the main superstructure.
Mr. Pichiuyer, one of the main technical supervisors, explained: "What we are working with in the gopurams is a combination of period engineering, i.e., late Chola, Pandya, even Vijayanagar, and a complete resculpturing and painting of the plaster figures ornamenting the gopurams. The West, East and South gopurams are all 13th-century architecture and the North gopuram was erected by the Vijayanagar king, Krishnadevaraya, in the 16th century." From a fascinating tour enjoyed by the writer and one swami from the Church, which included climbing up inside the palm-thatch covering surrounding the scaffolding at the base of the West gopuram, it was seen that the partially hollow, inner structure of the gopurams is built with monolithic beams of hard wood. "One of the greatest challenges of the project," says Pichiuyer, "is to reinforce these beams, but at the same time we don't want to cover up or mar the inner walls of the gateway where 700-year-old carvings of the Natyasastra text (a treatise dealing with Lord Nataraja's dance) appear in early Grantha script."
As of spring of 1982, the North, East and South gopurams had been finished, and the West gopuram was in its final stage of resculpturing. Striking a happy balance between the new-look enthusiasts and the proponents of preserving the pure ancientness of the temple's stone sculpture, the gopuram upper tiers flash in the sun with a medley of colors, while the stately bases retain the softened, natural hues of the their original granite and sandstone.
Technical supervisor, Mr. Pichiuyer, says that after the gopurams are finished, a team of workers will start on the 100-pillared mandapam next to the Savaging tank. Other crews are continuing on the outer walls, but the momentum of activity will over the next two years gradually move in towards the breathtaking gold-scaled roof of the sanctum sanctorum. The final project, explains Mr. V. Pillai, will be to polish the 18,000 gold tiles of the sanctum's roof.
Throughout the centuries of existence, "Holy Thillai" has never diminished in spiritual power or in the clocklike regularity and highly effective performance of its pujas by its venerable conclave of dikshitars. Once numbered at 3,000 families, how dwindled to 300, their diurnal invocations of the Deity serve as the lungs of the temple's shakti-breath, a power recently described by the famous bhajanist, Sri Pithukuli Murugadas, as "a tremendous energy that is broadcast from Thillai like a high-powered radio tower." The living presence of God Siva is infused in Chidambaram's soil and granite. Twice a year, hundreds of thousands of Saivites pour into the town of Chidambaram to worship Lord Siva Nataraja (the central Deity) during the January and June festivals. Recently, in late January of this year, one of the temple's minor shrines held its post-renovation kumbhabishekam attracting around 50,000. For most devout Saivites, who believe that the universe is an intelligent, living entity; and not just inert, lifeless matter, Chidambaram Temple plays an extremely vital part in the scheme of things. They believe that the heartbeat of the universe is intimately connected to the pujas performed at this sacred sanctuary.

T. Kalmar Austrian designer-entrepreneur Julius Theodor (J.T.) Kalmar was born in 1884 in Vienna. Son to Julius August Kalmar—founder of the eponymous company specializing in chandeliers and other cast bronze objects—Kalmar gained a wealth of design expertise in his formative years. Kalmar attended the Birmingham School of Art, as well as Vienna's University of Applied Arts under Vienna Seccession architect Josef Hoffmann (1870-1956). Kalmar joined his father's company in 1906, eventually taking over in 1913. As a strong advocate of the Arts & Crafts movement, Kalmar guided the company away from the eclecticism of the late 19th century. Kalmar's design aesthetic was characterized by an integration of form and function and a blend of classical tradition with forward-facing innovation. By the mid-1920s, his designs dominated the influential, avant-garde home furnishings shop Haus & Garten, founded by prominent architects Josef Frank (1885-1967) and Oskar Wlach (1881-1963). In the 1930s, Kalmar began collaborating with the Austrian Werkbund—an association founded by architects, artists, craftsmen, and manufacturers who were committed to modernist design principles. Kalmar created for the Werkbund a series of glass chandeliers and fixtures, which exuded meticulous construction and craftsmanship. Using traditional materials like glass, bronze, and brass, these designs lacked ornament, favoring instead a purist aesthetic. Throughout his career, Kalmar designed light fixtures for many renowned architects—including Josef Frank and Oskar Wlach, Oskar Strnad, Clemens Holzmeister, Oswald Haerdtl, Carl Appel, Erich Boltenstern, and Ernst Plischke—as well as important institutions, such as the Vienna Opera, Burg Theater, and Vienna Stock Exchange. In the last decade of his life, Kalmar developed a number of highly popular lighting collections, including Tulipan (ca. 1960), Ice Glass (1960s), and Atomic (1969). Kalmar passed away in 1968, but the company continued under the direction of his son-in-law, Rudols Calice. Today, fourth-generation family member Thomas Calice runs the company. Kalmar lighting can be found in prominent locales around the world, including the RMS Queen Mary 2, the Kremlin's Presidential Palace in Moscow, and the Burj Tower in Dubai.

The horse meat scandal that is hitting Europe has not spread to the United States, allowing American consumers to rest easier when buying ground beef or sitting down for a plate of meatballs at Ikea.
The United States has rigorous meat inspections, and horse meat isn't readily availability. So, while it's certainly possible that some hidden horse meat has made its way to the United States, it's unlikely to become a larger problem.
Horse meat has recently been found mixed into beef dishes sold across Europe, including in frozen supermarket meals. Furniture giant Ikea this week withdrew its famous meatballs from stores in Europe because of suspected horse meat, but stores in the United States and Canada weren't affected because they use a U.S. supplier.

"Having the presentations on the website allowed them to be downloaded and annotated during each presentation, which was excellent."
Since we held the UK Shale Summit 2012 - the UK's first ever unconventional congress - in September last year...
...the industry has seen some significant progress developments including demonstrations of regulatory support, geological estimates and approvals of new drilling plans.
UK Shale: Making It Happen is the place where decisions are made, solutions are identified and progress is achieved in regards to developing our country's precious energy resources.You can expect the following from this year's congress:
Pure Shale Focus: Shale Gas & Oil is the hottest prospect for onshore operators in the UK and for this reason, the entire two day conference will focus purely on how to take unconventional shale resources towards commercialisation
Industry Led: Speakers at this conference are only from E&P companies, government and regulators. We are hosting presentations only from the authoritative voices that can truly influence progress at a strategic level.
Progress Focused: The conference is not about reflecting on the past - it has been engineered entirely to drive the industry towards one objective; making it happen.
Practical Solutions: From local acceptance to planning permission to commercialisation, this summit will deliver practical solutions and facilitate pivotal discussions for driving forward every stage of development to make shale development a reality.
Answers Rather Than Questions: This conference is not about analysing the problem - it is about making decisions and developing operational and political strategies for seeing immediate movement in the progress of unconventional oil and gas.
Content Packed: We are offering two full days of presentations.This isn't a workshop or a seminar; it is a intense, strategic level conference for executives actively driving forward shale commercialisation in the UK
If the tangible, takeaway benefits above are what you are looking for, UK Shale: Making It Happen is the way to spend your two conference days this summer.
E&P and Government speakers will deliver presentations focusing on:
- HOW TO ATTAIN WELL PERMITS : Streamlining the permitting process and building relationships with regulators to gain permits and enable operations to commence
- HOW TO SECURE THE SUPPLY CHAIN : Developing drilling and completions equipment and infrastructure strategies to ensure necessary services are delivered for fracking
- HOW TO EXPLOIT THE RESOURCE : Assessing cores, reserve estimations and reservoir characteristics to assess completions strategy and take UK shale production to commerciality
- HOW TO WIN PUBLIC ACCEPTANCE : How to successfully, work alongside local communities, win acceptance and give Government the impetus to increase support for shale development
- HOW TO OPERATE ENVIRONMENTALLY : Examining optimal methods for fracking and managing water safely to minimise environmental impact and public resistance

Carl Baermann (9 July 1839 in Munich-17 January 1913) was a pianist who studied with Franz Lachner and Peter Cornelius in Munich and later became a pupil and friend of Franz Liszt. He moved to the Boston area in America in 1881 where he became a successful pianist and teacher; Amy Beach and Frederick Converse were among his pupils. Baermann was on the faculty of New England Conservatory from 1897-1913. He also composed a number of works for piano solo and with orchestra.
Lee Pattison (July 22, 1890, Grand Rapids, Wisconsin - December 22, 1966, Claremont, California) was a noted American pianist, composer, arranger, opera director, and teacher. Pattison studied under Carl Baermann and graduated from the New England Conservatory in 1910. From about 1919 until 1931 he was a member of the popular two-piano team of Guy Maier and Lee Pattison.] Lee Pattison Recital Hall at Scripps College in Claremont, California, is named for him.

- How Google is Looking to Cut Apple's Margin and How the Sell Side of Wall Street Will Enable This Without Sheeple Investor's Having a Clue
Proof of this is found in the very moderate, "evolutionary" progression of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3.Being a proponent of these high end Samsung products, there's not a lot that would prompt me to change from my LG Optimus G Pro to the note, and that should make Samsung very nervous. From a functional perspective, Sony, LG and HTC likely have it beat - as well as some Chinese manufacturers. That's pretty quick seeing as Samsung just made it to the top last year. Yes, like Apple, Samsung can ride its consdierablbe brand recogntition for a couple of years, but the end of the day, it will have to continue to innovate. The Galaxy Gear smartwatch is also equally unimpressive. There just doesn't seem to be enough practical innovation or usage argument to warrat a purchase from a high end user such as myself.
The functionality of the Gear smartwatch, like most smartwatches that I've seen seem to be akin to a solution searching for a problem to solve. Contrast this to the truly revolutionary, game changing, paradigm shifting Google Glass and you will get the picture.

...but if you'd like to share yours for cool news once in a while, pinky promise we won't blow up your inbox.
we hate that shit.
our storefront will be closed until further notice to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
we'll still be (safely) shipping online orders for now. please note that processing + shipping times may be longer than usual.

disclaimer: in fashion in general, there is not an actual standard for sizing. we know, this seems ludicrous to us as well.
the chart below reflects what we believe to be the most accurate size conversion chart available. please use it as needed, but do be aware that it may not always be 100% accurate. when in doubt contact us, and we can help determine the best fit together.
the textiles below are those that we come in contact with the most frequently. please always refer first to the care instructions of the particular garment itself, as processes can vary based on sewing technique or other materials used. if the fabric is a blend, follow the care instructions of the most delicate fiber included.
ALPACA WOOL: made from the fleece of primarily peruvian alpaca, softer than sheep's wool, and also hypoallergenic. alpaca require no pesticides or antibiotic treatment when raised for wool, making their lustrous and durable fleece naturally organic. harvesting the wool is no more intrusive than a once a year haircut.
alpaca fibers are hollow which allows them to better trap and insulate heat. in addition, the hollow nature of alpaca fiber means that there's no core for the moisture to collect in. instead, the alpaca fiber channels moisture off and away from the skin, keeping you nice and dry. since alpaca wool is substantially longer than its counterparts like cashmere, it is much more durable even after repeated wearing.
HOW LONG IT TAKES TO BIODEGRADE: 1 year
CARE: hand-washing is the preferred method of washing alpaca products. gently wash in warm water with a mild soap and thoroughly rinse in water of the same temperature. care must be taken as wet alpaca fabric can weaken and stretch out of shape. never wring or twist. gently press excess water from garment. lay flat to dry. many sources also recommend folding alpaca garments as opposed to hanging them, given the propensity to stretch.
BAMBOO: a type of grass originating from eastern asia that requires no fertilizers or pesticides and very little water for its rapid growth. fabric made from bamboo fiber is silky in texture, has moisture wicking properties, and is very durable. while developments for harmless and environmentally sound processes are underway, current bamboo fabric manufacturing processes do involve toxic chemicals. commonly used in rayon fabrics.
HOW LONG IT TAKES TO BIODEGRADE: 1+ year
CARE: unless the bamboo garment is heavily soiled, it's fine to use cold water, a good detergent, and the gentle wash cycle for regular machine washing. to prevent pilling, close buttons and zippers and turn the garment inside out before washing. sweaters and knitwear made from bamboo fibers should be hand washed to prevent stretching. lay flat to dry.
DENIM: a sturdy warp-faced textile usually made from indigo-dyed cotton twill.
HOW LONG IT TAKES TO BIODEGRADE: 1 year
CARE: machine or hand-washing are the preferred methods for cleaning denim. pieces can be washed using a mild detergent on delicate in cold to warm water in the washing machine. lay flat or dry on low heat in the dryer.
LINEN: made from flax and has been used as a textile since ancient mesopotamian times. cultivating linen requires far less water than growing cotton, no chemical fertilizers, and it is one of the strongest plant fibers. linen is also highly absorbent and keeps the wearer cool, making it ideal for a range of textile uses.
HOW LONG IT TAKES TO BIODEGRADE: 2 weeks to 6 months
CARE: linen becomes softer and more absorbent after each wash, which is pretty neat. wash it on low heat in cold to lukewarm water. use the gentle cycle in the washing machine and a mild detergent to protect the fibers. tumble dry linen clothes or textile on low heat. remove from dryer when still slightly damp to avoid the fabric becoming stiff, and hang or lie flat to finish drying.
MODAL (RAYON): a trademarked type of rayon from lenzing; a more eco-friendly and softer version of rayon made made from the cellulose found in beech tree fiber in a closed-loop process. extremely soft, breathable, and 50% more absorbent than cotton. manufacturer promises 95% of the production materials used to make modal are reclaimed, helping to reduce emissions and conserve natural resources. classified as a bio-based textile, modal production involves very few chemicals and recycles most of the water and solvents used. the fabric absorbs dyes well and resists shrinkage and fading.
a more eco-friendly and softer version of rayon using closed-loop processing that doesn't output toxins into the environment and sources beechwood from nearby the factory
HOW LONG IT TAKES TO BIODEGRADE: 6 weeks, if disposed of properly
CARE: one of the easiest fabrics. wash modal on the delicate cycle using warm water and cool rinse. throw in the dryer on low heat or the tumble setting.
NYLON: a plastic-based synthetic material made from polymers via a chemical process. elastic, affordable, highly durable, won't stretch or shrink. like other synthetics, nylon is often harmful to the environment.
HOW LONG IT TAKES TO BIODEGRADE: 30 to 40 years
CARE: machine wash cold on delicate, tumble low or hang to dry.
ORGANIC WOOL: organic wool farming requires strict adherence to a set of standards whereby farmers cannot use any chemical inputs on their fields or feed crops and must steer clear of chemical based insecticides and pesticides. fiber bearing animals can only be fed 100% organic grains, graze on organic pastures, and cannot be vaccinated with anything synthetic. mills that process the wool must be free of synthetic chemicals and demonstrate water consciousness.
HOW LONG IT TAKES TO BIODEGRADE: 1 year
CARE: organic wool can be hand-washed or machine washed. using a gentle detergent, wash garments in warm water on the delicate cycle. turn items inside out, and place in a mesh washing bag. lay flat to dry.
RECYCLED POLYESTER (rPET): made from post-consumer recycled plastic bottles, food containers, unusable second quality polyester fabrics, and worn out poly garments. the polyester in these items is broken down and re-spun into virgin quality fiber. rPET reduces dependency on oil, utilizes waste, creates less pollution, and cuts out the need for a virgin polyester manufacturing industry.
HOW LONG IT TAKES TO BIODEGRADE: a very, very long time
CARE: can be machine or hand washed on cold to warm water using a mild detergent on the delicate cycle. as rPET is still a petroleum-based product (better than its virgin cousin though it is), we do recommend washing any poly products with a microfiber catcher like this one. lay flat to dry.
SELVEDGE DENIM: denim woven on shuttle looms with finished edges.
HOW LONG IT TAKES TO BIODEGRADE: 1 year
CARE: wash as infrequently as possible. turn denim inside out. add mild detergent to cold or lukewarm water in a bathtub, and allow to dissolve. submerge jeans alone for 45 minutes. triple rinse them, do not wring. hang to dry, iron inside out if needed.
TENCEL (LYOCELL): a trademarked type of lyocell by lenzing; it is a soft, absorbent, strong, wrinkle-resistant, ecofriendly fabric made from certified, sustainably-sourced eucalyptus.
eucalyptus trees used in tencel production are grown on farms without the use of pesticides. the chemicals used to produce lyocell fibers are nontoxic, and the cellulose used is treated in a closed loop process where these solvents are recycled with a recovery rate of 99.5%. remaining emissions decompose in biological purification plants.
HOW LONG IT TAKES TO BIODEGRADE: 8 months, if disposed of properly
CARE: machine wash is suitable for most items. gentle pieces should be hand washed. launder garment in cold water on the delicate cycle using a mild detergent. hang or lay flat to dry.

We are seeking applicants for the 2011 Geospatial Research and Mapping on Easter Island (GRAM-EI) program. This summer program is a National Science Foundation (NSF) funded Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site (http://www.nsf.gov/crssprgm/reu/index.jsp).
Geospatial science is an applied discipline that requires a strong field component. Employment in geospatial technology fields often requires prior applied experiences. These field-based experiences have become an increasingly essential component of the educational experience for geographers and related professionals. This REU entails a four-year summer program of training in geospatial mapping techniques, archaeological research, and natural resource management on Easter Island, Chile (also known by its native name, Rapa Nui).
This experience is designed to provide a truly unique research and educational opportunity for undergraduate students through active participation in data collection and analysis in support of ongoing research by scientists at CSULB and the University of Hawaii, and a five-year program of archeological and natural resource mapping in partnership with the Corporacion Nacional Forestal (CONAF) which is responsible for the management of the Rapa Nui National Park (Nacional Parque de Rapa Nui).
Each summer ten students selected from California State University Long Beach and national institutions will participate in a four week summer research experience focused on Easter Island.GRAM-EI research will be conducted at two scales: local site and broader landscape. Site scale research in specific study areas in the Anakena Beach area identified in the five year MOU with CONAF, and landscape scale mapping designed to provide coverage of the majority of the National Park. The summer research experience will emphasize the use of geospatial techniques to aid hypothesis driven geospatially based natural resource and archaeological research and mapping that will result in improvements in the monitoring and analysis of environmental processes in the National Park. The natural resource-focused research will contribute to improved understanding of long-term changes in vegetation cover dynamics, natural hazards, non-point source pollution and surface water quality. The archaeological research focus will contribute to improved understanding of settlement chronology and resource utilization prior to European contact.
GRAM-EI will provide a framework for geospatial analysis of the landscape that introduces undergraduate students to technology and the culture of research while providing the tools and methods required to map, monitor, and analyze patterns and environmental processes. GRAM-EI will allow undergraduate students to develop research questions and conduct basic and applied research on Rapa Nui using cutting-edge geospatial technologies.
This REU site research focuses on the geospatial sciences and will apply geospatial technologies to address a combination of archaeological, natural resource mapping and applied research questions. Geospatial Science refers to sub-disciplines within Geography (such as spatial analysis, biogeography, and hydrology) that evaluate the earth's surface through the use of fieldwork and geospatial technologies, and integrate physical, biological and human-built environments, both ancient and contemporary for analysis and assessment. Geospatial technologies include geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing, thematic mapping, image processing, global positioning systems (GPS), and spatial statistics. Easter Island provides an unique opportunity for geospatial science applications.

May 18, 2005 • Posted By Shaun Lyon
The BBC Press Office has issued a press release regarding the June 20 publication of Doctor Who Reconstructed: The Power of the Daleks, which is a "groundbreaking release from BBC Audio which reconstructs a classic Doctor Who serial that no longer exists in the BBC Television archives." It says, "There are over one hundred episodes of Doctor Who missing from the BBC television archives. Of these episodes only two elements survive: off-air sound recordings and off-screen 'telesnaps' showing images from the lost film. This brand new and unique MP3-CD from BBC Audio has brought these two elements together for the very first time - presenting the telesnaps from this classic Doctor Who episode as a visual slide show of images over the original soundtrack, going some way to 'reconstructing' the original film episodes. Starring Patrick Troughton as the second Doctor, The Power of the Daleks sees the first ever Doctor Who regeneration, in which his companions Ben (Michael Craze) and Polly (Anneke Wills) suspect that he is an impostor after his whole body apparently transforms before their very eyes. But when the TARDIS materialises on the planet Vulcan, they must unite and fight for their lives together - against the evil Daleks!" The cover has been in our Release Guide since last month.

The Scrapbook Diaries is a wonderful place to find unique and beautiful Kit Pages. I have been designing kit pages for Janene Meyerowitz (Owner of The Scrapbook Diaries) for about a year now and have enjoyed every minute of it! Along with a number of Kit Pages that I've designed for her, we've also collaborated on some really fun product releases as well.
Each month I try to do 1 to 2 kit pages along with a full step by step video tutorial to go with the page kit. As the kits have sold out quickly each month, we've decided to offer the Video tutorials for a small fee, for unlimited online viewing.
Janene also has a wonderful online store that offers an amazing variety of scrapbook products and mixed media products. Among the products she has in her store, she has the first line of Stamps I designed. Here are my first two stamp sets (just click on the photo to take you to her shop).
The following are Video Tutorials I have created exclusively for The Scrapbook Diaries (Just click on the photos to be linked to the coordinating Video at her website).

The ZCLA Curriculum follows the Center's Circle of Life (Mandala). The Circle of Life is the teaching of the Five Buddha Families, which presents the wholeness of a mature human life.
The Five Buddha Families (also called Spheres) are Source, Study, Resources, Relationships, and Service. The essential practices of each Family are zazen (Source); study (Study); lineage, precepts, and health (Resource); relationships, liturgy, art, ritual, and sexuality (Relationships); and everyday acts of kindness, service, livelihood, and world learning (Service). We are creating a curriculum that addresses your development in each of these areas and in collective awakening and wisdom.
The Circle of Life is a three-dimensional hologram of the wholeness of life. Each sphere is a fractal of all the others—all the components are contained in each sphere. For example, when we place the Relationship sphere in the center of the hologram, it contains elements of zazen, study, service, lineage, precepts, and health. The Circle of Life is used for the structure of our organization as well as for personal practice.
The Curriculum offers skillful means to awaken and deepen, refine and integrate one's practice with Life. The practice of Buddhadharma is transformative; one turns and is turned by it.
We feel that the present circumstances of your life are the perfect vehicle for your awakening. How can we use these very circumstances to "forget the self, practice the precepts, and serve others"? We aim to provide the practices and skillful means that enable you to live an awake life. In our view, everything in your life is practice itself.
The Center has a Teachers Circle that offers instruction and guidance under the direction of the Head Teacher, Roshi Wendy Egyoku Nakao. Circle members are Senseis (fully empowered Dharma Teachers) in the White Plum Lineage: Merle Kodo Boyd, Kipp Ryodo Hawley, John Daishin Buksbazen, Raul Ensho Berge, Patricia Shingetsu Guzy, Gary Koan Janka and Rabbi Don Ani Shalom Singer.
In addition, all members of the Sangha are teachers and students of one another through their stewardship of the Center. We are committed to individual and collective awakening.

You'd figure the life of a big-name surfer would be a smorgasbord of tasty waves, hot chicks and cold beer. But on Wednesday morning, Mavericks founder Jeff Clark was going about the very unglamorous task of dashing from meeting… to meeting… to meeting.
With the three-month contest window open for the 2012 Mavericks Surf Competition, Clark was busy touching base with everyone from the Coast Guard to Cal Fire to the Pillar Point Harbor Patrol.
"Given what we saw the last event, safety has become the forefront of the Mavericks invitational," Clark said before dashing into yet another safety meeting.
The last Mavericks contest held in February of 2010 is probably less well-known for the surfing as the massive rogue wave that pummeled spectators on the beach of Princeton-by-the-sea, as the area is officially known. One spectator suffered a broken leg and scores of others were injured as the wave swept them into the lagoon. This time organizers are playing it safe.
"We're closing the beach and the bluff because you really can't see the contest from the beach," said Clark. "To put all those people there, it's a dead end."
It's the first time in the contest's history spectators won't be able to watch the action in person. Last time around, 50-thousand people showed up in Half Moon Bay, trampling through nature and clogging roads.
Clark and several agencies staged a drill Wednesday morning to hone their response to surfers or other contest staff who might be injured by the massive, punishing waves. But Clark was amply concerned about the safety on land.
"I've run the water patrol since we started this contest," said Clark. "Amazingly enough, all the injuries and incidents have been on the beach."
This year, organizers plan to create a Mavericks surf village near the Pillar Point Harbor for visitors to gather. It will cost $25 to enter the event where a giant video screen will carry the contest action. In addition, a number of businesses in the area plan to stream the contest.
Bar owner Pete Overhill expects the contest to bring a huge wave of business to the area. Overhill was at the contest in 2010 when the rogue wave scattered spectators. He said he supports plans to close the beach the day of the contest.
"It's probably safer from last year of people getting washed into the lagoon," Overhill said.
Organizers of the competition will hold a community meeting on Thursday to unveil safety plans, and to listen to public concerns. Opening ceremonies are scheduled for Friday at the Harbor Village, though it could be weeks or months before the conditions are ideal for the one-day contest.
In between the meetings and planning sessions, Clark did manage to sneak away long enough on Tuesday to ride a few waves himself.
"I'm excited the windows finally opened up," he said. "The ocean has come alive."

"Apollo 18" revolves around the premise that Apollo 17 was not our final lunar mission. A highly classified 18th Apollo mission landed on the moon and secretly conducted a mission for the Department of Defense. Now, decades later, 80+ hours of footage have been "leaked" onto the internet, and the filmmakers distilled that raw footage into this film.
Of course, once the astronauts land, they discover that they are not alone.

Incredibly satisfied with the overall experience at MINI of Wichita. I worked with a very nice salesman (Mathew) who worked with me to find a car of my dreams. AND it was delivered to my house in Kansas City. Overall, so very happy!
Mandi made the process so easy and painless. I will definitely return to this dealership because of her. The delearship is very clean and welcoming.
When it came down to the final decision to go with Volvo or BMW, BMW won. The determining factors were that BMW is still its own company, and the integrated technology is awesome! Michelle A. was helpful in expediting the process and directing us to the BMW Genius hotline for additional help. The facilities are as clean and crisp as the entire car buying process. BMW even took care of purchasing our out of state tag and had it sent via mail. I would recommend giving this dealership a chance if you are in the search for a new/different ...
My wife and I were just driving by and decided to take a look. Found a used Mini that was just what we were looking for to replace our current vehicle. A test drive and a lunch to think it over later, we are once again Mini owners!
Very friendly dealership. Paperwork took longer than expected. Salesman was nice and detailed. Overall a great buying experience. I would return for future vehicles, and would recommend to friends and family.
Mathew Salyer was great to work with!!! He was very Patient with me and very helpful in finding the perfect vehicle for me and my family!!!
Whole new car experience was amazing every step of the way. Mandi was so professional and got answers to all questions and made highly helpful suggestion that were very much appreciated. Couldn't be happier with how I was taken care of with the purchase of my X3 M40i.
A very good experience. Our salesman was very helpful. He really knows a lot about Minis. My car was ready to go, clean and full of gas. I will be happy to deal with him again.
My husband and I would like to commend the dealership and our sales associate Percy Ilias who worked with us during our February car purchase. Percy was extremely knowledgeable in the BMW brand, each vehicle's specific features and he provided me with excellent training and service throughout the process. I would also like to commend Shane McKenzie for his excellent customer service. Thank you both for ensuring that my experience was without flaws.
I couldn't ask for a better sales person. Michelle was awesome to work with. She was patient with me as I was deciding. She located the exact color, model, design and all the extras I wanted in my X7. It's absolutely beautiful and I am so happy that I chose the X7. Michelle explained every little detail and knob inside and out. She's such a great experience person to work with.
