Carbon Footprint
Moderate levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in our atmosphere are normal, as CO2 helps keep the planet warm and plays an integral role in many key biological processes, including photosynthesis. The earth naturally produces and processes CO2 in what is referred to as the Global Carbon Cycle. Human activities, however, have altered this natural cycle by adding more CO2 to the atmosphere, and by affecting the ability of natural sources to remove it. The primary cause of increased CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere is due to the burning of fossil fuels (oil, coal and natural gas), as well as changes in land-use (deforestation).
The ocean plays a key role in keeping the carbon cycle in balance by absorbing excess CO2 from the atmosphere. When CO2 is absorbed by seawater, chemical reactions occur that increases the acidity of the water, a process known as ocean acidification. This increase in acidity will make it more difficult for corals to build or maintain skeletons, and for shellfish such as lobsters, oysters and clams to build shells. Oceans also face elevated temperatures and rising sea levels due to the warming of the atmosphere.
Without conscious effort, carbon dioxide concentrations will continue to rise in the atmosphere and our ocean ecosystems will suffer. We can take personal action to decrease CO2 emissions and help protect our ocean for future generations.
Carbon Footprint:
A carbon footprint is a measure of the impact our activities have on the environment. It calculates the greenhouse gases we have, or are expected to produce in our activities, and measures them in pounds or tons of CO2. Personal carbon footprint emissions can come from direct sources such as driving your car or indirect sources such as the fuel burned to produce a product you've purchased. We can effectively lower our personal carbon footprint by voluntarily improving the energy efficiency in our homes, on our boats, and by purchasing local products and changing our consumption patterns.
How to Calculate Your Boat's Carbon Footprint:
Your boat's carbon footprint is the emission of CO2 primarily from burning the fuel in your engine(s) and generator. No two boats are the same and each will have a different footprint. The size and type of the engine(s), their age, the fuel type, your average cruising speed, the fuel efficiency and number of hours you use your boat all contribute. As these factors are hard to quantify, the easiest route to estimating your boat's footprint is by keeping track of your fuel usage. You can calculate your carbon footprint by determining the average number of gallons your engine(s) use per hour, then multiply this by the total number of hours you use your engine(s) during the season or year.
You will then multiply the result by the pounds of CO2 for your fuel type:
- Marine Diesel .................................. 21.24 pounds of CO2 per gallon
- Marine Diesel Unleaded 93 ....... 19.88 pounds of CO2 per gallon
- Marine Diesel Unleaded 91 ....... 19.51 pounds of CO2 per gallon
- Marine Diesel Unleaded 89 ....... 19.52 pounds of CO2 per gallon
- Jet A ..................................................... 21.10 pounds of CO2 per gallon
- Biodiesel ................................................ 5.02 pounds of CO2 per gallon
For example:
If you use 10 gallons per hour and you ran your engine for 204 hours during the year, your calculation would be: 10 x 204 = 2040 gallons. If your fuel type is marine diesel, you then multiply 2040 gallons by 21.24 = 43,329 lb (43.3 tons) of CO2.
The key to lowering your boat's carbon footprint is to decrease your fuel consumption! For tips on how, check out Reducing Fuel Usage.
Offsetting Your Carbon Footprint:
Purchasing carbon offsets is one of the ways you can help address the imbalance that our daily lives have on our environment. A carbon offset is a reduction in emission of CO2 made in order to compensate for (or to offset) emissions made elsewhere.
The Ocean Foundation's Seagrass Grow offers the first carbon offset program where you can compensate for your impact with "blue carbon" through the planting of seagrass meadows. Impressively, seagrass habitats are up to 45 times more effective than the most pristine Amazonian rainforest in their ability to absorb excess CO2 from the atmosphere and a single acre of seagrass may support as many as 40,000 fish, and 50 million small invertebrates (Seagrass Grow). Better yet, Seagrass Grow focuses their replanting efforts on areas that have been damaged by boat propellers and anchors.

by James Corbett, The International Forecaster:
Depending on which columnist you follow or which headline writer you trust, this month is either the month that the Chinese economy officially overtook the US to become the world's largest, or it isn't. The quibbling comes after the latest data dump from the IMF tallying the GDP of the world's economy.
According to the data, China's economy just leapfrogged the US with an estimated 2014 output of $17.6 trillion to America's $17.4 trillion, representing 16.5% of the global economy vs. 16.3%.
The catch? These GDP figures are based on purchasing-power parity (PPP), an economic measure that compares output in real terms, ignoring exchange rate fluctuations. Traditionally, global GDP figures have been calculated in US dollar terms to paint a more accurate picture of how much a country's economy is "worth" on the global market. When measured in these terms, not much has changed. The US is still the world's largest economy, with 22% of global GDP, the Eurozone as a whole is second with 17%, and China comes in third at a respectable (but still lagging) 11%.

- Earrings handcrafted by Burdian Soseeah (Zuni)
- Sterling silver
- Blue turquoise, red coral, white mother of pearl, black jet
- Post and clutch closure
- Earrings measure 5/8" long x 5/8" wide
- Comes with a signed Certificate of Authenticity
Handcrafted works of Native American art require special care. For more information about proper care and cleaning, please read our Care Guide.
Burdian Soseeah is a highly skilled Zuni artist who specializes in handcrafted sun face inlay jewelry. She uses the sun face design in inlay earrings, watches, pendants, rings and necklaces, and her work is highly regarded for its fine craftsmanship and detail.
The Southwest is known for the beauty and drama of its landscapes, from red rock canyons and rolling deserts, to expansive blue skies and shimmering sunsets. The Native Americans who have lived here for thousands of years have a deep connection to and respect for this natural world, and their reverence for nature deeply influences their art. Some of the most common nature-inspired designs and symbols are water, rain, clouds, corn, mountains and animals. For Native Americans, nature is a gift from the Creator, and in their unique, handcrafted works of art they celebrate this incredible gift.
Channel inlay is a distinctive jewelry technique closely associated with Native American people of the Southwest, particularly Zuni jewelers. When creating channel inlay jewelry, artists set precisely cut gemstones into pre-formed silver channels. The technique allows artists to use colorful combinations of gemstones in complex and creative patterns. Channel inlay requires masterful silversmithing and lapidary skills and is utilized by Native American jewelers to create magnificent jewelry pieces recognized for their craftsmanship and beauty as art.Read our Native American Jewelry Collector's Guide.

Success determined by the heart
By LAURA MORELLI
Article published on
Wednesday, Jan. 29, 2014
How do you measure success? Is it the car you drive, the house or neighborhood you live in? Maybe the degree you hold or the career path you chose? For others, maybe a club status or choosing the right life partner, fulfilling a dream?
This question I believe has endless possibilities. For each and everyone of us most definitely a different answer. You see, it is all a matter of perspective. What one views as success may be very, very different for another. It is truly whatever you put your whole heart into.
If an education and awesome career path is your heart, then go for it all the way. If there is a dream youve been dreaming, then work hard to make that dream a reality! Every bit of it is good but lets not forget that sometimes success is overlooked as well. Most often when we speak of success it is material possessions and fame. However, success can very much be a volunteer who gives of their time to those in need but no one ever hears about. It can be a mother or father who gave up their own dreams to invest in their children. A single parent who stayed and worked several jobs to make sure their family did not go without. The person who gives beyond their means to help another.
My conclusion is the heart determines the success of a person. I do not believe success can or should be measured by things. Success is an inside job. If you give your very best to your passion, your mission, your lifes work, then you are successful. Do not let anyone or anything tell you otherwise. Be your SUCCESS today!

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 nights
This beautiful three bedroom, two bath house is fully furnished with everything you need to feel right at home. Surrounded by pines, the front porch is a great place to relax after a fun day of adventure. There is a washer and dryer, a large fully equipped kitchen, one queen size bed, and two double beds, and a fold out couch in the living room.
Conveniently located 10 miles from the west entrance to Glacier Park, and just a short drive to Hungry Horse Dam and Recreation area. Shopping is available nearby and Big Sky Water Park and Glacier Maze are just a few miles away.
We stayed in the house with six adults. There was more than enough room for us. The house was immaculate, comfortable and well stocked. There were plenty of linens available and the beds were very comfortable. Karen was very welcoming and helpful. We highly recommend the house for anyone visiting the Glacier area and would be happy to stay here again!
First, this is not a cabin; it's a house. It is just a few blocks off the highway but surrounded by tall pines, very secluded yet only 15 min. from West Glacier. It was nice to come home to the peaceful little town of Hungry Horse after the tiring days in the park. The house was very clean, with plenty of room to spread out. Karen was very helpful and we'll stay here again if we ever go back to explore Glacier again!
My group and I were very fortunate to stay in this great cabin. This was an amazing deal as the price was right, and the location was right. The cabin was very clean, and had all the amenities needed. The internet service was fast! The owner Karen was great, very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again if given the chance.
Wonderful home! Spacious, clean, comfortable and nestled in the pines. Access to West Glacier entrance to the park was quick and easy. Karen and Curly are perfect hosts.
We chose this property after reading reviews. The reviews were right. It was fabulous. It was nice for my elderly parents to have the main floor bedroom and bathroom. The home is very clean and has all you need to have a nice get-away. Karen is gracious, kind, and attentive. If we come this way again we will stay right here!!!!
What a great find! We booked this house after searching for a while on line looking for a good fit for 2 families traveling with teenagers. After corresponding with Karen, the manager, we were convinced this was the perfect place for us. The location can't be beat--just 15 minutes to the west entrance of Glacier National park. Karen made sure we had everything we needed. It was great to have linens provided, too. She was friendly and helpful and so easy to work with. The house had plenty of room and seating for all. Lots of movies and board games to enjoy in the evening after a fun day exploring Glacier. The house was spotless and the kitchen had everything we needed. The outdoor grill was great. The house sits in a quiet neighborhood off the beaten path. Glacier is a must-see national park--it is gorgeous! Incredible waterfalls (especially Virginia Falls), since the snow was still melting, and still snow pack at Logan Pass! The Going to the Sun Road is awesome and the best way to see the park. We enjoyed several hikes, and in particular, the boat ride from Many Glacier Hotel which Karen recommended to us. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I would absolutely recommend this property to friends and family.
We are 10 miles from the west entrance to Glacier Park. Glacier Maze and Big Sky Water Park are nearby, both offering mini golf, and other activities for kids. There are 3 Whitewater Raft Companies in the area as well as horseback riding. Hungry Horse Reservoir offers many picnic areas. Whitefish Mountain is a short drive and offers activities such as zip line and walk in the treetops. Nearby Kalispell has shopping and cinemas. Bigfork and Whitefish offer lots of little shops in old downtown settings.

The new Viking 37 Billfish was designed to emulate the historic Merritt and Rybovich day boats of that by gone era. The Viking 37 Billfish raises the bar on the memory of these classic vessels with slick, contemporary styling and modern and more durable materials to offer better performance, easier maintenance and attractive overnight accommodations.
The day boat style offers unfettered access to the 86 square-foot cockpit equipped with a bait freezer, tackle stowage, a transom door with a lift gate, insulated fish boxes and a transom live well. The salon features a comfortable U-shape dinette and hi-lo fiberglass table, which converts to a bunk, opposite a cushioned lounge. At the end of the day, there is plenty of room to relax in a comfortable environment, a significant element missing from today's wide open large center console boats.
The Viking 37 Billfish has spacious, air conditioned accommodations thanks to its nearly 14 feet of beam. The private stateroom in the bow can accommodate a single queen bed, or can be ordered with over and under berths. The L-shape galley features Corian countertops, a stainless-steel sink, an electric cooktop, a microwave/ convection oven, under counter drawer-style refrigeration, and spacious cabinetry.
Standard power is a pair of Cummins QSB 6.7 550 MHP diesels, which deliver a 30 plus knot cruise and a top end approaching 35 knots. Each engine and other critical machinery is located beneath electrically- actuated hatches in the command deck area.
The first Viking 37 Billfish will make its inaugural appearance at the 21st Annual Viking VIP Boat Show Preview in February 2017 at the Viking Yacht Service Center in Riviera Beach, Florida.

Dollar Sentiment Pressured by Fed Comments
The USD held on to modest gains Tuesday as equities and commodities declined. However, pressure on Dollar sentiment came following the FOMC Meeting Minutes. The Federal Reserve said Tuesday that officials believe the economy is going to recover at a slow rate while unemployment will remain high. These statements affirmed expectations the Federal Reserve will keep rates low for an extended period of time.
The Dollar Index, which tracks the greenback against a trade-weighted basket of six currencies, was at 75.116, compared with 75.130 Monday; remaining fairly directionless and within recent ranges against most major counterparts. The Fed's near 0% interest rates and monetary stimulus programs have weighed on the greenback this year, since the programs have effectively printed more Dollars and flooding the markets with extra currency.
Earlier in the day the USD received some support from disappointing U.S economic data. The U.S. economy's recovery wasn't as strong as earlier believed with Gross Domestic Product (GDP) rising at a 2.8% annual rate July through September after falling by 0.7% in the second quarter. This was a revision from a month ago, when the estimated was that GDP rose by an annual 3.5% in the third quarter. However, The Conference Board's U.S. Consumer Confidence Index improved to 49.5 in November from 48.7 in October, beating economists' expectations.
Looking ahead to today, another full news day is expected from the U.S with the Core Durable Goods Orders and Unemployment Claims due to be released at 13:00 GMT and the New Home Sales at 15:00 GMT.

Google's head of search spam, Matt Cutts, on March 13, announced new updates with Google's Penguin and Panda algorithms and new link network targets in 2013. SEO experts were suspecting the latest Panda update to come out March 15 or March 18.
Some webmasters and SEOs believe that Google already released an update to their Panda algorithm late yesterday. However, Google is not likely to confirm this update (as well as future Panda updates) since Panda will be incorporated into the search algorithm called the "Panda Everflux," their overall continuous algorithm updates. Accordingly, the next Panda updates will be more real-time but will be less noticeable to webmasters and SEOs.
On January 22, Google confirmed another Panda update (version number 24) which was reported to have impacted about 1.2% of English queries. Panda, of course, launched on February 2011 had an enormous impact on the SEO industry, particularly the online publishing sector, which forced some companies to change names, change business models, and even stop their businesses altogether.

Antonio Ricci has been unemployed for more than two years when he finally gets a job putting up posters. The one condition of employment is that he must have a bicycle - which he is more than happy to pawn the family linen for. After a single day of happy employment, tragedy strikes when the bike is stolen. He and his son set out to find the missing bike...
It's often stated that the casting of Cary Grant in this seminal work of neo-realism would have fatally undermined Vittorio De Sica's intention of presenting an authentic snapshot of everyday life in postwar Italy. Yet, non-professionals Lamberto Maggiorani and Enzo Staiola were both selected according to typage and such deliberation reveals the care which De Sica lavished on this meticulous recreation of backstreet Rome. Nothing was left to chance in his pastiche of spontaneity, with the extras being choreographed as rigidly as the leads to ensure that every expression and gesture illuminated the director's precise deep-focus compositions.
Inspired by a Luigi Bartolini novel, Bicycle Thieves is clearly a product of its times, with unemployment, poverty and the dejection of defeat very much to the fore. Yet, for all its political ramifications, its enduring appeal lies in the very human story at its heart, which focusses on a father's proud determination to sustain his household and a son's crisis of faith in his hero. By emphasising the absurdity and fatalism of daily life, De Sica questions the validity of competing contemporary solutions to society's problems. The pious, the bourgeois and the proletarian alike leave Antonio and Bruno to their fate, as they are each fully aware that everyone's first duty is to themselves in such dire circumstances. Indeed, De Sica consistently stresses the impotence of socialism by showing the pair being shunned and menaced by crowds and mobs of people who acquiesce in and exploited the uncontrollable cyclical misery of their neighbours.
It's no accident that Antonio is searching for a Fides (`Faith') bicycle, as the film draws inspiration from both the New Testament and Dante's Divine Comedy. Yet, De Sica insists that family unity is more crucial to social rejuvenation than any religious or political creed. Nevertheless, he still undercuts the surface sentimentality of the climactic reunion by reminding us that Antonio has lost both his bike and his job and that inevitably tougher times lie ahead.
One of the great, perfect crystalisations of a specific point in time into a particular film, this is one of the greatest cinematic experiences ever.

WASHINGTON, D.C./TRIPOLI: Libyan government officials have warned U.S. diplomats that journalists who have entered the country illegally to cover anti-government protests are being considered to be terrorist collaborators, the U.S. State Department said on Thursday.
Several journalists, including CNN reporter Ben Wedeman, have entered Libya without permission to cover ongoing anti-government protests in Libya which have plunged the nation into chaos. The protests have been met with a violent crackdown by security forces, which reportedly included aerial bombardments on protests. Most journalists have not been allowed to enter Libya.
"In meetings with senior Libyan government officials, U.S. diplomats were told that some members of CNN, BBC Arabic and Al Arabiya would be allowed into the country to report on the current situation," the U.S. State Department said. "These same senior officials also said that some reporters had entered the country illegally and that the Libyan government now considered these reporters Al Qaida collaborators."
The Department added: "The Libyan government said that it was not responsible for the safety of these journalists, who risked immediate arrest on the full range of possible immigration charges. Foreign journalists already in Libya who are not part of the approved teams were urged to immediately join the approved teams in-country."
Scores of protesters have been killed in the nationwide unrest, but information has been difficult to obtain due to reporting restrictions by Libyan authorities. "Be advised, entering Libya to report on the events unfolding there is additionally hazardous with the government labeling unauthorized media as terrorist collaborators and claiming they will be arrested if caught," the U.S. State Department warned.
At least 300 people and as many as 1,000 people are believed to have been killed in the unrest.

Question about SanDisk Sansa e250 MP3 Player
My Sansa Rhapsody e250r does not start since about 4 months... I haven't been able to find a solution to this problem, other than sending it back...
I think it's the same problem:
When I plugged it to add music, it asked me to run some Firmware Update and I accepted it
I "updated" my Sansa and it never worked again!
Whenever I turn it on, I keep getting the same message: "Load main image failed" "Switch to Recovery mode" and when I do so, it says "Enter USB2.0 mode"
I have no idea how to do that, given that I can't access the main menu
I have also tried downloading the firmware at http://www.sandisk.com/Assets/File/Downloads/firmware/e200fw01.00.12.exe
and followed the (apparently famous) 7 steps and nothing! Everytime I do the whole "firmware update" thing, it just seems to take no time at all. The player screen shows a bunch of things that the Sansa is suppossed to be doing, but it just doesn't seem to do anything at all.
I repeated that process for about 20 times...
Does anyone have a different solution to this?? Other than sending the bloody device back to where I bought it???
If you do, please let me know!!!
thank you VERY much!
Posted by rokr195 on

Discolored Water Being Cleared Up, Official Says
Colton Planning To Flush Out City SystemJan 8, 2003 | San Bernardino Sun
Colton residents plagued for months and as recent as last weekend by discolored water, are being reassured by a city official that the problem was being resolved possibly for good.
Brown or yellow water gushed forth three times last month when some Colton residents turned on their taps, said Eric Fraser, director of water and wastewater utilities.
Brown or yellow water also plagued areas of Colton's west side including Arrowhead Regional Medical Center at 400 N. Pepper Ave. on Jan. 2.
By Tuesday, water delivery had returned to normal and tested negative for contaminants, Fraser said. Water officials would be looking at a universal way of flushing out the system, he said. "We plan to start a formal flushing program,' he said.
Mark Uffer, president and chief executive officer of the medical center, said this is the second time in four months the county hospital has dealt with brown water.
In September, after shutting down its wells because of perchlorate issues, the hospital began using the city's wells.
"About two to three weeks later, we noticed the water was brown,' Uffer said.
As a result, he said, hospital officials paid more than $7,500 to purchase new water filters and for water to flush out the system.
"When this problem resurfaced last week, our employees got real nervous about it,' he said.
Portions of the Colton's water becomes discolored when rust sediment that has settled at the bottom of wells gets into the water supply through flushing, Fraser said.
"The discoloration isn't a threat to public health,' he said. "It may be unpleasant to look at, but it is not unhealthy to drink.'
Uffer said the water was tested in both the hospital's lab and a San Bernardino medical Lab. Though the tests came back negative for contaminants, patients and staff were asked not to drink it, he said.
The hospital purchased significant quantities of 5-gallon bottles of water to be used for baths and drinking, he said.
"It appears to be clearing up now,' Uffer said Tuesday. "It just takes a while to flush out the system.'
Uffer said his biggest concern now is recouping funds spent on new filters, the bottled water and the water used to flush the system.
The city should be willing to pay, he said.
"This is the second time it's happened,' Uffer said. "At the very least, the cost will be double this time around.'
City Manager Daryl Parrish said he had scheduled a meeting with Uffer next week to discuss the matter.

There was a bigger problem for the home team. The T-Birds picked the wrong time to have its worst scoring output of the season, and the end result was another defeat in front of the home crowd.
Sayeed Pridgett scored a game-high 19 points to lead three players in double figures, and the Grizzlies went on a 16-3 run over a seven-minute stretch of the second half to break the game open and hand the Thunderbirds its 10th consecutive loss, 70-55, before a crowd of 1,923 fans.
Senior Race Parsons, playing in his first game since Dec. 10, scored six points in 16 minutes, and his defensive spark was a difference for SUU in the mind of head coach Todd Simon.
"He gives us a veteran floor presence where he can talk and do all the right things. That's such a different advantage," Simon said. "You could see the difference in us defensively."
The T-Birds held Montana (7-5 Big Sky, 12-13 overall) to 39 percent shooting in the first half, but trailed 34-23 at the break. SUU started the second half with a 9-2 run over the first four minutes, but Walter Wright (14 points) kicked the Grizzlies into full growl mode with a jumper. By the time the run was finished, Montana had a 52-35 lead with 8:49 left and would keep it above double figures the rest of the way.
SUU ended up shooting under 40 percent for the game (39.7) and made just 3 of 21 shots from 3-point range.
"We always give up those little runs in the first or second half that we need to overcome," Parsons said. "That's what happens with an inexperienced team. It's something we've got to fix, and even if we don't, we have to learn how to respond to it and come back."
Fabian Krslovic added 10 points for the Grizzlies to help offset a rough night for leading scorer Ahmad Rorie. Rorie – who was averaging 17 per game – scored just two points in 12 minutes and sat most of the second half after an undisclosed injury.
While Pridgett did his job on offense, the Montana defense held SUU's Randy Onwuasor, the Big Sky's leading scorer, to just 16 points, seven below his season average.
The T-Birds were just 6-of-12 from the free-throw line while the Grizzlies made 22-of-26. Montana also enjoyed a 41-30 edge in rebounding.
To cap off the week, SUU's losing streak reached 11 straight games as Montana State came away with an 83-78 victory. The T-Birds got 32 points from Randy Onwuasor, but couldn't get over the hump after his jumper put them up 58-57 with 10:52 remaining.
In the battle of the Big Sky's leading scorers, Tyler Hall (23 points) immediately answered on the next possession with one of his three 3-pointers to put the visitors back in front for good.
Hall got additional help from freshman Harald Frey with 19 points and five triples, and Quinton Everett added 18 with three treys.
The T-Birds committed 15 of their 23 turnovers in the first half and fell behind 44-35 at the break. They shot 54 percent from the floor in the loss and will try to break the losing streak Saturday against Northern Arizona. Tipoff from the Centrum is at 2 p.m.
Montana 34 36 -- 70
Southern Utah 23 32 -- 55
Montana – Oguine 4, Pridgett 19, Wright 14, Rorie 2, Krslovic 10, Moorehead 5, Lopez 5, Samuelson 8, Gfeller 3. Totals 22-54 22-26 70. 3-pointers – Wright 2, Moorehead 1, Gfeller 1.
Southern Utah – Onwuasor 16, Day 2, Marshall 6, Joyce 10, Parsons 6, McGee 6, Madunic 1, Musoko 2, Holker 6. Totals 23-58 6-12 55. 3-pointers – Onwuasor 1, McGee 2.

I met Kate Edmondson Bridal Couture at the Designer Vintage Bridal Show in February and she is really the loveliest lady! Her designs are AMAZING and I wanted to share a little bit of her with you!
Tell me a bit about your company?
We design and make luxury wedding dresses and headpieces for the discerning bride using luxury silks and satins and laces. The service we provide is a personalise design and fit process whereby all brides receive a free initial consultation receiving expert advice on the shapes fabrics budgets and styling advice. During the consultation brides can try on samples from the existing collection. Some brides may have an idea of the dress they like I am also able to design one around their ideas. We also design and make headpieces also using luxury silk and laces. The headpiece can also be made in the same fabric of your dress. We work very closely with all our brides to ensure each piece is unique and individual.
How did you get into wedding dress design?
I have wanted to be a bridal wear designer since the age of 10 so I knew I would pursue a career in this area. So I went straight to Art College and did a Btec National Diploma in Clothing which equipped me with basic pattern cutting and construction skills. I then went on to further my studies and graduated with BA Hons in Fashion in 1997. During that period I also worked for various wedding dress designer based in London gaining valuable experience. I have also love following bridal fashion and would collect bridal magazines. During my work experience I realised I wanted to own my own label. So I started working from home making wedding dresses to local brides. I got funding from the Princes Trust which helped me to buy a cutting table, tailors dummy and other tools of the trade.
My favourite part of the whole process is the designing. I love draping developing styles on the stand and pattern cutting. I love transforming a drawing into real life dresses. Bring the dream into a reality is a real buzz.
Do you have a favourite dress you have designed?
I have a few dresses that I like Rosetta being one of those which is a heavy crepe dress with a rose in the front. I also like Antonia which has a real vintage feel and 1930s look made in ivory crepe back satin. Imogene which is a gold dress in vintage lace.
I would love to make a wedding dress for Sienna Miller and Kate Moss both women are the epitomise style and glamour.
Do you have any exciting plans for the future?
I would like to keep showcasing my dresses at vintage bridal shows. Develop relationships with bridal boutiques. I would also love to get my dresses into Browns Bride London. I would eventually like to have my own shop.
Which designers do you admire?
I have several bridalwear designers I like Phillipa Lepley who produces classic elegant dresses. The cut and fit of her dresses are exquisite. I admire the quality of her dresses.

This guide is compiled by staff at the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library on a topic of interest to Minnesota legislators. It is designed to provide an introduction to the topic, directing the user to a variety of sources, and is not intended to be exhaustive.
Citizens and government officials alike are concerned about the state of bridges in Minnesota after the collapse of the Interstate 35W bridge into the Mississippi River on August 1st, 2007. Media accounts refer to MnDOT bridge inspection reports, Federal Highway Administration documents, and other documents that aren't always easily identifiable. This guide pulls together many of the reports being analyzed and discussed, along with general background information on bridge safety.
Librarians will be adding resources to the guide as the investigation continues and the issue unfolds.
This chronology outlines some of the significant events regarding the I-35W Bridge collapse and the efforts to build a new bridge:
August 1, 2007: Shortly after 6 pm, the I-35W Bridge collapses with over 80 motor vehicles on it at the time.
August 4, 2007: Mn/DOT issues a request for qualifications for a Design Build Contract for the I-35W Bridge replacement project. Congress authorizes about $250 million to rebuild the 35W bridge.
August 20, 2007: The body of the 13th and final victim of the I-35W Bridge collapse is recovered from the Mississippi River.
August 23, 2007: MnDOT releases the request for proposal for the new bridge over the Mississippi..
September 11, 2007: The Minnesota Legislature holds a special session; legislation passed includes several provisions related to the bridge collapse.
September 14, 2007: MnDOT receives technical proposals from four companies: Ames/Lunda, C.S. McCrossan, Flatiron/Manson and Walsh Construction/American Bridge.
September 18, 2007: MnDOT receives financial proposals.
October 5, 2007: City of Minneapolis passes resolution that grants approval of MnDOTs proposed bridge layout.
October 8, 2007: MnDOT awards new bridge contract to Flatiron/Manson.
October 15, 2007: Transportation Contingent Advisory Group gives MnDOT permission to spend an additional $60 million through February 2008. This amount is short of the $195 million requested.
October 16, 2007: MnDOT is sued over selection of winning bidder. The lawsuit alleges that the bidding process unfairly favored Flatiron/Manson. Suit requests that bridge construction be halted. (Sayer and Phillippi vs Minnesota Department of Transportation)
October 31, 2007: Judge rejects restraining order that would halt bridge construction. (Sayer and Phillippi vs Minnesota Department of Transportation)
November 1, 2007: Actual construction of new bridge begins.
November 29, 2007: Governor Pawlenty and legislators announce the creation of "I-35W Emergency Hardship Relief Fund". This fund will provide $1 million in financial assistance to the victims of the 35W bridge collapse and their families. Victims and their families will be eligible for up to $10,000 in lost wages.
December 19, 2007: Minnesota Legislature's Joint Committee to Investigate the Bridge Collapse announces it has authorized the spending of up to $500,000 to the law firm Gray Plant Moody for an investigation into MnDOT and the I-35W Bridge collapse. The report is due in May.
January 11, 2008: The National Transportation Safety Board's (NTSB) on-going investigation uncovers an error in the original design process that resulted in undersized gusset plates on some of Bridge 9340's main trusses. On January 15, 2008, the board issues Safety Recommendation H-08-1, dealing with load capacity calculations for non-load-path-redundant steel truss bridges in the United States. These findings were released in the Federal Highway Administration's interim report, Adequacy of the U10 and L11 Gusset Plate Designs for the Minnesota Bridge No. 9340 (I-35W Over the Mississippi River).
March 5, 2008: The NTSB issues Structural Investigation Group Chairman Factual Report 08-015 (Materials Lab). On March 17, 2008, a NTSB update states that excess construction weight was placed above the earlier-reported too-thin gusset plates.
February 19, 2008: The Office of the Legislative Auditor releases an updated analysis of their 1997 highway spending report.
May 9, 2008: Governor Pawlenty signs a $38 million package to compensate bridge victims for their injuries and losses.
May 21, 2008: The Joint Committee to Investigate the Bridge Collapse releases their report, Investigative Report to Joint Committee to Investigate the I-35W Bridge Collapse.
September 18, 2008: The new bridge opens.
November 14, 2008: The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) issues their report.

Investing in European success
Environmental research and innovation
Europe has proven expertise in ensuring the sustainable management of the environment and its resources. This booklet presents a selection of recent projects supported through the EU's Seventh Framework Programme for research and technological development (2007-2013), focusing on the seven research priorities identified within the Environment research theme. These priorities are biodiversity and ecosystem services, climate action, cultural heritage, disaster risk reduction, earth observation, eco-innovation and water. Emphasis was placed on predicting climate, ecological, earth and ocean systems changes. There was also a focus on tools and technologies for monitoring, prevention, mitigation of and adaptation to environmental pressures and risks to health, as well as for the sustainability of the natural and man-made environment.
Research & Innovation Projects - CALLS 2014 to 2016
Climate action, environment, resource efficiency and raw materials
The calls launched in 2014, 2015 and 2016 focussed on investing in systemic innovation by promoting resource efficiency for a greener and competitive economy as a key part of smart, inclusive and sustainable growth. Systemic innovation therefore calls for the adoption of a challenge-driven, solutions-oriented research and innovation strategy that crosses disciplinary boundaries and involves co-creation of knowledge and co-delivery of outcomes. The 218 projects resulting from the 2014, 2015 and 2016 calls for proposals1 in the Societal Challenge 'Climate action, environment, resource efficiency and raw materials' are here briefly presented. All together, the 218 projects are mobilising resources totalling around EUR 1,392 million, of which more than EUR 1,092 million as EU funding. The projects could last up to 5 years duration.
Investing in European success - Earth Observation
The European Commission together with 27 EU Member States are active members of the Group on Earth Observations (GEO), which provides a global voluntary framework where governments and participating organisations can coordinate their strategies and investments in the field of Earth observation while promoting full and open access to data and information through the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS).

A Journey through History: A technological timeline of the Slot Machine
A Journey through History: A technological timeline of the Slot Machine
If you were to head online today you would see hundreds of virtual casinos offering a range of regular and themed slot machine games. While this adequately proves that slot machine gaming has made a successful transition from the real to the virtual world, however, it does not underline how the game has evolved in terms of its wider perception. Once considered to be a low-brow game for opportunists, it is now accepted as a game of skills that ranks alongside roulette and blackjack as a casino classic.
Given the incredible journey that slot machine gaming has undertaken, let's take a look at some of the seminal events that have defined its history:
Humble Beginnings and the Worlds' First Slot Machines
While there are some counterclaims, Charles Fey' iconic Liberty Bell machine is widely recognised as the worlds' first slot game. Featuring three reels, fruit, playing card symbols and a jackpot image that resembled a cracked Liberty Bell, Fey's machine featured an integrated coin acceptor and was even decorated with a dedicated pay-out table. It is extremely impressive in terms of its aesthetic design, and players will be impressed at how modern and electronic slot machines have stayed true to these original constructional elements.
Electronics, Micro-processors, and New Horizons
While there were various technological adaptations during the formative part of the 20th century, it was not until 1964 that slot machines evolved to the next level. More specifically they entered the age of electronics, where micro-processors were incorporated as a central design feature and he user experience was improved as a result. These machines produced random outcomes that were determined by this processor, with the result that they were fairer, more secure and less vulnerable to malevolent or unscrupulous operators. The design of these machines also enabled them to hold more money, meaning that they could deliver larger pay-outs to players.
Television Screens and the Digital Age
The rate of technological advancement was becoming more pronounced at this juncture, and it was soon after in 1974 when designer Walt Freely created a machine that included a television screen. This was the first example of a video slot machine, and type of digital gaming experience that is now replicated so effectively online. The first slot game of this type was entitled Fortune Coin, and in addition to an audio-visual screen it also offered more restrictive odds, lower pay-outs and enhanced security features.
When you consider that slot machine gaming now contributes an estimated £5 billion to the UK market alone, its journey has clearly been an impressive one. It is even likely to become more impressive over time, as online slots become increasingly lucrative and diverse in terms of their design.

Committed Over: San Diego
On Film: Adam Heigis stars primarily at left guard. His Orange Lutheran High School runs a triple option, under-center offense. Heigis is a featured blocker in the offense, used in pull assignments. Heigis does well to pick up the last defender and open running room for the running back.
With his offense, it is natural that Heigis would come in as a strong runner blocker, but will likely need some coaching up when it comes to his pass-blocking abilities.
"I think the transition will be pretty easy because the guard position I play is not typical," Heigis said. "It's a lot of pulling and a lot of movement for blocking linebackers. I think the transition won't be too difficult."
Recruiting Impact: Heigis was an under-the-radar recruit who was given a two-star rating by Scout. A position change may have played a role. He was playing defensive end in high school until his junior year when his coaches made a change. After his first year on the line, San Jose State was one of the first schools to notice him and offer, along with San Diego. He camped with Boise State, but was not offered. Heigis also had a growth spurt of about three inches in the time frame.
SJSU Offensive Line Coach Adam Stenovich was his primary recruiter.
Heigis rounds out a solid group of three offensive line recruits in the 2016 class. While he was the lowest rated of the three incoming offensive linemen, he is the biggest at over 6-foot-6 and 290 lbs.
Quotable: "At first in high school when I moved to offensive line, I was against it," Heigis said. "I liked defense better. But as soon as I played my first game at offensive line I just knew that was the place for me. I'm in love with it. I love being mean and I love knocking people around. The coach wanted me to play offensive line and I didn't really have a say in it, but I'm glad he made me do it."
Coach's Comment: "Adam is a physical and imposing offensive line prospect. He comes off the ball in a physical manner and will help us in the offensive line." - SJSU Head Coach Ron Caragher
Final Thought: Heigis does not jump out with his recruiting background, but his position switch, offense and growth spurt may make him a late-riser that pays off in a big way for SJSU.
