SANTA CLARA, Calif., June 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- California Eastern Laboratories (CEL) announces the field trial release of its new MeshWorks™ Wireless Software Platform, a true turnkey solution enabling fast development and deployment of wireless sensors and control networks within the industrial, building automation, connected home, and lighting markets. It allows users to easily add wireless to their network and get it up and running to the cloud within hours.
MeshWorks™ unites several tools to create and simplify a complete mesh network design as part the Internet of Things (IoT). It has a powerful Graphical User Interface (GUI) equipped with a simple python script generator to help create complete scripts that can be loaded directly onto end devices. No experience is needed in writing C code or being fluent in complex mesh networking protocols like ZigBee or Z-Wave.
The complete platform consists of three key components: A wireless Personal Area Network (PAN) which is powered by CEL's MeshConnect™ 2.4GHz 802.15.4 modules, a GUI-driven programming interface driven by CEL's MeshWorks™ software suite, and cloud access which is provided by Exosite's new OpenTether™ (OT) cellular backhaul offering. A wired backhaul option is also available utilizing CEL's new MeshConnect™ Ethernet Gateway. Both gateway alternatives are offered as options within the MeshWorks™ development kit. MeshWorks™ also incorporates an optional Real-Time Locating Service (RTLS) technology from Buzby Works which can be implemented as supplemental code running on top of the MeshWorks™ firmware.
MeshWorks™ makes previously complex mesh networking systems incredibly fast and easy to implement for anyone with basic python scripting skills. It is designed to work with virtually any type of sensor in any application that requires M2M (Machine to Machine) communications.
The MeshWorks™ Advantages
The MeshWorks™ platform is built on top of the reliable EmberZNet Pro stack from Silicon Labs. EmberZNet Pro is a robust mesh networking stack that has been deployed in millions of residential and commercial installations today.
MeshWorks™ is designed to circumvent the complexities associated with mesh network programming, accessing the cloud, and rapid prototyping. Everything is provided within the platform to enable a robust, turnkey mesh networking solution. To help facilitate fast proof-of-concept prototyping, the MeshWorks™ development kit includes two extremely versatile OpenTether Sensor Nodes. Each node combines 10 sensor functions, including temperature and humidity sensing, proximity detection, light sensing, open/close detection, asset movement monitoring, rotation detection, drop/shock detection, and compass orientation. The Sensor Node also includes an I/O sensor expansion port, allowing users to connect virtually any generic sensor type to the wireless network via its I2C, analog, or digital I/O.
The CEL Advantages
CEL continues to be a leader in bringing cutting edge wireless technology to market in a way that facilitates fast and easy deployments in real world applications. CEL's 55+ years of RF design experience includes hardware, software and sub-system development that spans across a wide range of applications. CEL's applications support team provides design services and general support to accelerate project development and reduce overall time-to-market.
CEL's MeshWorks platform is currently undergoing field trials with select customers. The software suite is included within CEL's MeshWorks development kits (part numbers ZMW-KIT-ETH-1 or ZMW-KIT-CELL-1). Each kit provides 2 OpenTether Sensor Nodes with their respective gateway (Ethernet or Cellular). General availability is planned for the fourth quarter of 2014.
For more information, please visit:
Alternatively, you can see a live demo of the system in booth 1114 at the Sensors Expo and Conference Show in Rosemont, IL on June 25th and 26th.

Pain Management: Neuropathic Pain
Neuropathic pain is a complex, chronic pain state that usually is accompanied by tissue injury. With neuropathic pain, the nerve fibers themselves may be damaged, dysfunctional or injured. These damaged nerve fibers send incorrect signals to other pain centers. The impact of nerve fiber injury includes a change in nerve function both at the site of injury and areas around the injury.
One example of neuropathic pain is called phantom limb syndrome. This occurs when an arm or a leg has been removed because of illness or injury, but the brain still gets pain messages from the nerves that originally carried impulses from the missing limb. These nerves now misfire and cause pain.
What causes neuropathic pain?
Neuropathic pain often seems to have no obvious cause; but, some common causes of neuropathic pain include:

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) – It is the sound of progress and improvement designed to improve the road along South Fourth Street.
For business owners that look out at it every day, it's damaging their bottom line as it goes on.
"We are 80 percent down," business owner Bob Khaini said.
As owner of Bob Khaini Instyle, Khaini said he's had to reduce his merchandise by more than 50 percent to sell anything.
Typically this is his most profitable time, not this year.
"Usually we do very good in the month of February because the money is there. Then there is Easter season because people buy new clothes here. Unfortunately I think we are going to lose both of these seasons," Khaini said.
Next door at Kentucky Wigs, Soocha Stammerman is struggling to pay the basics.
"I have to pay the electricity, the water bill, the mortgage but I don't know," she said.
Most people think she's closed.
"How many customer have you had come in today? Nobody not even one person," Stammerman said.
Downtown Development Corporation said this is phase one of the redevelopment of 4th Street.
The point is to draw more business to this area and the $350,000 project will add sidewalks, improve the road and add parking.
This is all in a move to make way for new retailers to come in and when the entire project is complete, new retailers will move in April 1st.

What a week. In my last post I talked about Mika Ihamuotila's TV-interview, which didn't go too well for him. If you remember, he got caught by surprise when the journalist showed him the picture from 1960's. He still stayed in his position that no copying had happened but about 8 hours later, the company released a statement saying that Maija Louekari's design was inspired by the Markku Leppo's photograph.
I've linked to Kritiikkiblogi several times during my Marimekko-reporting, as he writes and argues more intelligently than most people (I included). His analysis of Hetkiä/Moments print is brutal and he says about the birth:
Maija Louekari's drawing was born most likely like this:
1. Competition for young designer gets 21-year old student of Taik all excited
2. Louekari gets an idea to use a cityscape as a basis of her work
3. Urban Sketching is no longer in the curriculum of Taik, so she proceeds to the direction of Taik-library
4. She takes few photography books from the shelf, section 75 Graphics, Photography
5. Book by Markus Leppo, Helsinki ja helsinkiläiset 1966, is found.
6. The other copied photographs are found next to Leppo's book, which "inspires" Louekari and she then proceeds to trace through even more winning images.
7. The (competition) win brings a profession, honour and glory.
About the technical aspects of Hetkiä he says:
My suspicions were raised by three issues: Urban Sketching-experience, pictures of different cities and few car details. Louekari wasn't outside herself, in different cities, sketching and drawing. She traced through, which you can see in the closing patterns, even line thickness and the closing elements on the front that cover the backgrounds.
He finishes off with following conclusions:
-Marimekko's CEO is constantly deceived by designers' art 'loans', deceptions of birth of the art and covering up the chain of events.
-Marimekko's communication manager betrayed the CEO: Mika Ihamuotila went to the interview armed with false information, wrong attitude to design and searching pity. The communication manager did a company-wide murder/suicide (with her actions).
-Marimekko's owners are amazed how it's main value giver, meaning artistic quality and value, is totally disregarded by its design directors as well as management.
-Marimekko's creative direction has completely lost its way. (Kemell-Kutvonen and Karske)
-University of Art & Design and its teachers are, in their part, supporting the copying and stealing the birth of art when birthing art
-For years, has Louekari been aware of the copied Hetkiä-print on Barcelona-bags but haven't defended her rights. Louekari has been avoiding confronting the bag because she herself copied her work by changing it, meaning covering the origin of her work. This proves a small feeling of shame and difficult forthcoming for a period of 10 years
-Marimekko may have intentionally adopted one of the main points of Moorhouse-effect, meaning, the deliberate covering of the birth of art. The picture from Esplanadi was taken, just in case, if someone asks after the background story.
When the second statement from Marimekko was released, it didn't take long before industry people began arguing that copying happens all the time and it's just the way things are. However, during Kristina Isola and Metsänväki-scandal, the union for designers, Ornamo, told in YLE-news that "designers rarely copy" but from the comments I've seen, designers in Finland do NOTHING but copy. Someone even tweeted that her design teacher said that nothing new can be made anymore, everything is done. I say, stop talking like this. You are arguing for running the design education to the ground and yourselves out of work.
Another aspect is that this past 6 months has been a steep learning curve for Finnish companies when it comes to communicating with the outside world. Marimekko has been making mistake after mistake, showing arrogance and disregard to their clients and fans in every turn. One of my Twitter-followers, Sami Sundell, sums things up in his blog: "It doesn't matter at all how things are done within the business. You are not communicating to the insiders but to the audience." He then proceeds with a comment about another tweet: "In a way Mika Porspakka is right: copyright isn't necessarily relevant in this case. It doesn't change the fact that there is a need for discussion in the topic itself and the industry standards."
I will finish this off with one last quote from Kritiikkiblogi:
Supporting Marimekko is important. It won't happen by staying silent and approving questionable methods for making art and creating. Support comes from harsh analysis and by presenting radical ideas.
Thrifty Finn- Wondering about the little bag from Barcelona that started this all.
P.S. I have another blog, Thrifty Finn's Investigations & Opinions, where I wrote about various interesting topics. I know, I know. It's ridiculously pompous name, but hey, being ridiculous and pompous are not reserved only for the men.
P.P.S. It's hard to believe that paid professionals can't create original content if us crafters do that shit constantly. For free.

MILWAUKEE, WI (LEARFIELD-WSAU) The Milwaukee Brewers are off today -- and that gives the top brass some extra time to decide on a possible roster move to keep the offense going. For the second time this season, the Brewers are without their two biggest sluggers.
Aramis Ramirez is headed toward the disabled list with the strained hamstring he suffered on Saturday night. And Ryan Braun may or may not return for tomorrow night's home series opener against Pittsburgh -- depending on how his right rib cage feels.
If Braun can't go, the Brewers could bring up Elian Herrera again from Triple-"A" Nashville. Also, center-fielder Carlos Gomez could learn today or tomorrow how long he'll be suspended for his role in last month's bench-clearing brawl in Pittsburgh.
That could mean he'll be out for the Pirates' series, while at least one Pirate who served his suspension will play. That's Travis Snider, who had his appeal rejected last week. Pirates' catcher Russell Martin also had his appeal tossed out, but he won't serve his one-game suspension until he returns from the disabled list. Brewers' catcher Martin Maldonado has long returned from his five-game suspension, which he chose not to appeal.
Brewers' manager Ron Roenicke says he has complained to Major League Baseball about the Pirates being at nearly full-strength, while the Brewers are struggling to find hitters in part because Gomez could be out. The manager was previously upset that Pirates' starter Gerrit Cole was not punished for his remarks which incited Gomez just before the brawl. Cole is scheduled to start against Milwaukee tomorrow night.

HARRISON (WKZO) -- A new report shows that a U.S. Air Force general and the former head of Michigan's Air National Guard and the Selfridge Air National Guard Base improperly received roughly 200-thousand dollars in pay.
According to a report released Monday by the Department of Defense inspector general, Brigadier General Richard Elliot failed to terminate his dual-status military technician position as required by federal law and used his public office for private gain by receiving pay and benefits. The Defense Department's inspector general began investigating Elliot in 2012 and the alleged offenses were reportedly committed between January 2006 and April 2007.

"Presunto Culpable" Wins Emmy; Award Dedicated to Troy Davis
"Presumed Guilty" ("Presunto Culpable") is the story of Toño Zúñiga, a computer vendor from the Iztapalapa section of Mexico City, who was wrongly accused and convicted of murder in December 2005. On Monday, it won the award for Best Investigative Journalism at the 31st Annual News & Documentary Emmy ceremony in New York City.
The film's director, Roberto Hernández, took the opportunity at the ceremony to dedicate his award to Troy Davis, noting that unlike the United States, Mexico has no death penalty.
"That's why we were able to save Toño," Hernández says, "and why Troy Davis is not longer here."
"Presumed Guilty" first aired in the United States on PBS in July 2010. An extended cinema version premiered this past February to mass acclaim. In March, a federal judge suspended its exhibition due to a complaint from a witness shown in the documentary. The film re-premiered after its distributor complied with an order to conceal the witness' identity.
For more information, visit Presunto Culpable.
PBS' Presumed Guilty:
Imagine being picked up off the street, told you have committed a murder you know nothing about and then finding yourself sentenced to 20 years in jail. In December 2005 this happened to Toño Zúñiga in Mexico City and, like thousands of other innocent people, he was wrongfully imprisoned. The award-winning Presumed Guilty is the story of two young lawyers and their struggle to free Zúñiga.

To Filipino lowlanders brought up on sunshine and beaches, the tribal heartlands of the north and their spiny ridge of inhospitable mountains, the CORDILLERA, are still seen almost as another country, inhabited by mysterious people who worship primitive gods. It's true that in some respects life for many tribal people has changed little in hundreds of years, with traditional ways and values still very much in evidence. If anything is likely to erode these traditions it is the coming of tourists: already an increasing number of tribal people are making much more from the sale of handicrafts than they do from the production of rice.
The weather can have a major impact on a trip to the Cordillera, not least because landslides can cause travel delays during the rainy season (particularly May–Nov, but continuing until Jan or Feb). Since the rains come in from the northeast it's the places on the eastern side of the mountains – such as Banaue and Batad – that are usually worst hit, and fog can roll into those areas any time from October to February. Throughout the region it can get cold at night between December and February. It's worth noting that the rice terrace planting seasons vary significantly; the lower-lying areas typically have two plantings a year while the highlands have one. Terraces are at their greenest in the month or so before harvesting, although their barren appearance after a harvest can also look impressive.Read More

Bontoc and around
Bontoc and around
The road from Baguio to BONTOC is the Halsema Highway or "Mountain Trail", a narrow, serpentine gash in the side of the Cordillera that's sometimes no more than a rocky track with vertical cliffs on one side and a sheer drop on the other. Although the surface of the road has been greatly improved in recent years, it can still be an uncomfortable trip by public transport as some of the buses are crowded and not especially well maintained. The views are marvellous, especially as you ascend out of Baguio beyond La Trinidad and pass through deep gorges lined with vegetable terraces.
BONTOC lies on the banks of the Chico River about an hour east of Sagada. Primarily used by tourists as a transport hub, the town is also a good base for trekking and has easy access to the beautiful Maligcong rice terraces. Some of the local tribes can be nervous of foreigners and it would be unwise to approach them without a guide to help smooth the way (P300–500/day). One well-known local is Francis Pa-in (t0915/769-0843), who can also act as a guide in Tinglayen; ask at the Churya-a Hotel if you can't get him on the phone.
There isn't much to see in the town itself but don't miss the Bontoc Museum, next to the post office close to the town plaza. It includes photographs of headhunting victims and of zealous American missionaries, and there is a small collection of indigenous buildings outside. The museum shop sells items including handmade jewellery and CDs of traditional music.
The small town of SAGADA, 160km north of Baguio, has long attracted curious visitors. Part of the appeal derives from its famous hanging coffins and a labyrinth of caves used by the ancients as burial sites. But Sagada also has a reputation as a remote and idyllic hideaway where people live a simple life well away from civilization. Sagada's distance from Manila, and the fact that the quickest way to reach it from the capital involves at least one buttock-numbing bus journey on a terrifyingly narrow road, means it has kept mass tourism at bay. Sagada's lofty beauty is given added resonance by its very un-Filipino-ness. The landscape is almost alpine and the inhabitants are mountain people, their faces shaped not by the sun and sea of the lowlands, but by the thin air and sharp glare of altitude.
Sagada only began to open up as a destination when it got electricity in the early 1970s, and intellectuals – internal refugees from the Marcos dictatorship – flocked here to write and paint. They didn't produce much of note, perhaps because they spent, it is said, much of their time drinking the local rice wine tapuy. European hippies followed and so did the military, who thought the turistas were supplying funds for an insurgency. Today the place still has a very relaxed atmosphere, which continues to be enhanced – for some – by the locally grown marijuana, which (while very definitely illegal) is easy to come by and generally tolerated.
There isn't a lot to do in the town itself although there are plenty of activities close by. The Ganduyan Museum, next to the Ganduyan Inn, is worth visiting for its collection of Kankanay artefacts. Other than that there's plenty of scope for just hanging around and enjoying the tranquillity of the town, while in the evenings you can settle down by a log fire in one of the wooden cafés or restaurants. A curfew means you can't drink after 9pm, but by then almost everyone has gone to bed anyway.
If you have time then it's worth wandering down to the village of Demang, reached from a turning on the right just beyond the George Guest House and Pinikpikan Eatery. The village is older than Sagada and remains practically untouched by tourism. It's a quiet residential area with several dap-ay (stone circles where community matters are resolved).
The Igorots
The Igorots
The tribes of the Cordillera – often collectively known as the Igorots ("mountaineers") – resisted assimilation into the Spanish Empire for three centuries. Although they brought some material improvements, such as to the local diet, the colonizers forced the poor to work to pay off debts, burned houses, cut down crops and introduced smallpox.
The saddest long-term result of the attempts to subjugate the Igorots was subtler – the creation of a distinction between highland and lowland Filipinos. The peoples of the Cordillera became minorities in their own country, still struggling today for representation and recognition of a lifestyle that the Spanish tried to discredit as unChristian and depraved. The word Igorot was regarded as derogatory in some quarters, although in the twentieth century there were moves to "reclaim" the term and it is still commonly used.
Though some Igorots did convert to Christianity, many are still at least partly animists and pray to a hierarchy of anitos. These include deities that possess shamans and speak to them during seances, spirits that inhabit sacred groves or forests, personified forces of nature and generally any supernatural apparition. Offerings are made to benevolent anitos for fertility, good health, prosperity, fair weather and success in business (or, in the olden days, tribal war). Evil anitos are propitiated to avoid illness, crop failure, storms, accidents and death. Omens are also carefully observed: a particular bird seen upon leaving the house might herald sickness, for example, requiring that appropriate ceremonies are conducted to forestall its portent. If the bird returns, the house may be abandoned.

Hoover Institution Hits Rand Paul on Pacifism
Last night Senator Rand Paul appeared on Sean Hannity's TV show, to make it clear he believes ISIS has declared war on America. The Senator was clearly irritated at being portrayed as an "isolationist." He made plain that he believes the President should seek constitutional authority before dealing with ISIS.
I've been critical of the Senator for what I termed his "Obama-Lite" approach to U.S. foreign policy. He is right — he is not an isolationist. And certainly saying presidents should get — as did George W. Bush in Iraq — the support of Congress before an intervention is correct.

On Thursday night for the opening 22 minutes or so it looked like it would be only a matter of time for the Chicago Blackhawks to take control and capture two points. Maybe they thought the same but the Islanders had a different plan in mind. The Blackhawks fell behind by two goals, rallied and then lost in overtime 3-2.
The best news for Hawks fans is Corey Crawford returned from injury and played a solid game. In his first start since December 8, Crawford needed to be sharp as his teammates weren't crisp.
A poor decision by Johnny Oduya led to an opening period goal. In the second period the Islanders played at a quick pace as the Hawks were back on their heels and fell behind 2-0. Give the Islanders credit as they did manage to record 34 shots on goal.
The speed of the Blackhawks is dependent on being able to pass well. When passes don't connect the game slows down and turnovers are more frequent. The defensive zone coverage was off and Crawford kept the Hawks in the match. At the other end of the ice, Evgeni Nabokov was tested and responded well.
All in all the Blackhawks were fortunate to get a point as their better players didn't stand out. Once again they failed to pick up points in the OT period. It is almost impossible to believe Patrick Kane has yet to score in a shootout and the Hawks haven't won a game in OT but they currently sit at the top of the NHL.
Now the club will have to regroup for a return match with New Jersey Friday night, as Antti Raanta should get the start in goal.
Al's Shots
Brandon Saad was not chosen to play for Team USA in the upcoming Olympics. There were a few questionable selections announced on January 1, but that's often the case. Islander fans feel Kyle Okposo, who scored the game winner should have been chosen to play in Sochi. My thinking is Saad and Okposo could get a chance to be Olympians if there are a couple of injuries to those selected.
The U.S. captured a Silver Medal last time and that makes it more difficult to make changes concerning veterans. One could make the case both Okposo and Saad should have been chosen ahead of the Kings Dustin Brown who has only 13 points this season.
NHL Officiating
Unfortunately I can criticize NHL officiating more often than not. Other sports have problems with officiating but the issues concerning hockey are more perplexing. At some point I learned it is best to expect little as there are reasons for the subpar whistle blowers and they aren't easy to fix.
The scattered NHL rule book, an apparently thin talent pool, and a constant struggle to eliminate discretionary calls is a handful to deal with. The situation is perplexing and at times defies logic.
Commissioner Gary Bettman frequently proclaims the NHL was the first major sport to use video replay back in 1991. Once again the NHL is in a futile dance between discretionary calls they don't want to review and the more black and white. Interestingly the NHL added no touch icing this season and that call is of a discretionary nature.
The NHL doesn't have a net camera in use for every regular season game. They don't review all plays around the goal crease that lead to the puck crossing the line. So simply put the NHL may have been the first to use video replay but they still don't have it right.
Is there anything more important than getting the score correct?
Starting during the 1999 playoffs the NHL began using two referees. That's right, at the most important time, during the playoffs the use of two referees began.
Not waiting until the beginning of the following season to implement a two ref system always seemed odd to me. After awhile you learn to not question such NHL decisions because many can't be explained.
The bigger concern is the officiating never dramatically improved, actually many feel it is worse. Having another ref on the ice is an additional variable. Some believe the more senior referee won't be shown up by a younger man in stripes. So depending on what part of the ice an infraction takes place may determine the likelihood of a whistle. The referee with the least experience takes a back seat.
Beyond all else it appears the NHL hastily doubled the referees without having an adequately stocked talent pool. There has been a significant shortage of officials in the minor leagues for years.
The breeding ground for NHL officials is the AHL and still today not all games employ the use of two referees. It seems the training ground for referees should duplicate the same two referee system where officials are headed when they get promoted.
An inadequate supply of officials isn't good and to add to the mess is the apparent micro-managing of referees.
I notice as well as others who watch a good amount of hockey that in stretches the frequency of certain infractions increases.
Empirically tested for years I have noticed there appears to be penalties for certain months. Sometimes goaltender interference is the focus, other times bad line changes are more scrutinized. If you watch enough highlights there seems to be an uneven frequency in penalty shots called at certain times of the season.
This isn't my imagination as I have spoken to others including scouts and they feel the same. Realizing how often referees are reviewed, it would be easy enough to adjust their focus. Games can be scrutinized and downloaded for review.
There is no doubt in my mind the league stresses to watch for certain infractions at different times. An example that always seems to hold true is goaltender interference is called more often later in the season before the playoffs begin.
It isn't an easy job to be a referee, between the scattered NHL rule book and the micro-managing from the league office the job is made more difficult. What is frustrating for fans is when phantom hooking calls are made but obvious slashing penalties on a breakaway are missed.
Unfortunately that's the imbalance between black and white or using discretion. Often it seems some calls are almost mechanical, even those fouls which don't have an impact on the play. Then other times penalties which involve a feel for the game are missed.
The quickest attempt to right the ship would involve taking a step back. The NHL will most likely not do so and revert back to one referee.
Besides managing the rule book without over managing officials it would be better to go back to one referee until the talent pool was well stocked. Once all AHL games are officiated with two refs for awhile, then going back to four man officiating crews could begin again in the NHL.
It will take time plus a lot of work to hold NHL officiating to a higher standard and it will take money as well. There seems to be room for additional referee candidates but I'm not sure how many will find the job appealing.
If the officiating were more consistent popularity of the NHL in the U.S. would increase a great deal. Until then be tolerant and appreciate the sport anyway.

Happy Birthday wishes go out to Roger Waters , who turned 70 today. The singer/bassist helped found Pink Floyd in 1965, and went on to become the band's driving creative force after original frontman Syd Barrett 's struggle with drugs and mental illness forced his departure from the group.
As Pink Floyd's main songwriter and co-lead singer, Waters helped create some of the most enduring and successful albums in rock history, including 1973's The Dark Side of the Moon , 1975's Wish You Were Here and 1979's The Wall . Among the many classic tunes Roger or co-wrote are "Money," "Us and Them," "Wish You Were Here," "Have a Cigar," "Another Brick in the Wall," "Comfortably Numb" and "Run Like Hell." Eventually, a creative rift between Waters and his band mates led to him leaving Pink Floyd in 1985.
Since then, Waters has released a handful and generally well-received solo albums, including The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking and Radio K.A.O.S. His most recent album, Ca Ira , came out in 2005 and was the soundtrack to an opera he composed of the same name.
During the last few years, Waters has been performing The Wall in stadiums and arenas around the world. The massive multimedia production has been consistently one of the biggest concert draws.
Waters also is an outspoken peace advocate, and recently has created some controversy with his harsh statements criticizing the Israel government for their treatment of Palestinians.
Roger currently is touring Europe with The Wall Live trek. The outing visits Dusseldorf, Germany, tonight and winds down with a September 21 show in Paris.

Published on June 28, 2013
The West Award for Personal Expression went to Nicola Hawkins of Admiral's Cove for "Newfoundland Bound," a stained glass and copper foil piece with a personal perspective on immigration.
Published on June 28, 2013
Janet Peter's "Catfish" is among the works on display in the annual Craft Council of Newfoundland and Labrador member's exhibit. — Submitted photos (B1: Karlie King's hooked rug, "Bees.")
Published on June 28, 2013
St. John's ceramist Stefanie Smith received the Award for Innovation and Design for her piece, "Red Owl Box #15," a smoke-fired and burnished functional ceramic box with a delicate puzzle-fit cover, embossed with owl designs.
Published on June 28, 2013
The Juror's Choice Award went to Murray Swantee for "Rustic High Back Arm Chair," which craft council director Anne Manuel describes as "both organic and geometric and exceedingly comfortable."
Fine craft in this province is varied, in terms of media, technique and theme. Some artists take traditional approaches, while others prefer the contemporary. Materials like wool, pottery, wood and metals appear side by side — or combined — to form pieces that are functional or purely decorative.
One thing, however, has remained with the passage of time and ties local craftspeople together like salty twine, and that's an artistic inspiration drawn from the ocean.
"I don't think you can ignore the seascape and the landscape in this province," explains Sharon LeRiche, co-ordinator of the Craft Council of Newfoundland and Labrador Gallery in St. John's. "People are going beyond the obvious inspiration to make it more personal, more about things that inspire them (in particular)."
This is evident in the gallery's current exhibit, its annual members show. Each year, a call is made to craft council members for submissions, and a three-member jury selects a certain number to participate. This year there are 43 craftspeople represented, from all around the province.
"The jury members are looking for works that are trying some new ideas, that certainly have the mark of their maker, so that it's not duplicating other things, and that are finely crafted. Most importantly, it's about the uniqueness of the idea, I think," LeRiche says.
The participating artists represent all stages of careers, from first-time exhibitor Cheryl Shirran's Sweet Pea necklace in felted wool, to veteran potter Isabella St. John's three porcelain vases. Most of the pieces represent some aspect of the natural world, and many depict facets of traditional Newfoundland and Labrador culture, from Carolyn Morgan's art doll, "Great-Great Grandmother Making Fish' to Kelly Bruton's series of appliqué and embroidery pieces. Each of the three pieces, sewn in vintage kitchen cotton and other textiles, shows a different outport kitchen; a result, LeRiche says, of Bruton having spent some time around the bay hosting design workshops.
Two artists chose to create mermaid pieces: Veselina Tomova presents a pottery dish called "Mermaid With Shrimp," while Janet Peter is showing two stunning hand-felted sculptures. "Olga" is a bare-chested beauty created in a purple and blue palette, while "Catfish" is a mermaid sitting on a rock, whiskered orange fish in her hands. Peter has captured the foam and movement of the ocean swirling around the rock — not an easy task when using wool roving and a barbed needle as sculpting tools.
"I've actually poked myself so many times, I don't think I even bleed anymore," Peter says, laughing.
Peter, who often creates work with mermaid themes in papier mâché as well, says it's a theme to which she feels particularly close.
"It might be really cheesy, but living here and being next to the ocean, I feel it's part of the culture and folklore," she explains. "Also, I really like working with that form."
Bonnie Johnstone also chose to create a needle-felted figurine, "Elf and Dog," a tiny garden gnome-type creature with his arm around a golden puppy, both of them resting on a piece of driftwood.
A number of artists chose to incorporate beach glass and pebbles into their work, notably Terry Nicholls' masterpiece "The Arches," a large hanging mosaic completed with marble, granite, pebbles, stained glass, unglazed porcelain and glass beads.
Christine Koch's "The Narrows — Starry Night" linocut and Alexis Templeton's crystalline glazed ceramics are immediately recognizable as their own, bearing their signature style.
Of the pieces on display, a second jury selects winners for three of the craft council's Awards for Excellence in Craft. The awards have been presented for the past 13 years, recognizing exceptional achievement, technical excellence and innovation in craft.
St. John's ceramist Stefanie Smith received the Award for Innovation and Design for her piece, "Red Owl Box #15," a smoke-fired and burnished functional ceramic box with a delicate puzzle-fit cover, embossed with owl designs.
The West Award for Personal Expression went to Nicola Hawkins of Admiral's Cove for "Newfoundland Bound," a stained glass and copper foil piece with a personal perspective on immigration.
"It is inspired by the patchwork windows that were created from broken medieval glass after the destruction of the English Civil War," Hawkins said in her artist statement, adding that it combines two methods: the medieval technique of painting and firing pieces of glass and the 19th century copper foil assembly process.
The Juror's Choice Award went to Murray Swantee for "Rustic High Back Arm Chair," which craft council director Anne Manuel describes as "both organic and geometric and exceedingly comfortable."
As well, four awards were selected among the craftspeople nominated by members of the council and the public: Smith was presented with the Award for Exceptional Achievement by a Young Craftsperson, knitter Christine LeGrow received the Award for Interpretation of Provincial History, Heather White received the Award for the Preservation of Traditional Craft Skills, and Mabel Manuel won the Award for Outstanding Achievement.
The Newfoundland and Labrador Craft Council's 2013 annual members' exhibit runs at the craft council gallery, 59 Duckworth St., until Aug. 24.

Definitely the Taos Inn! Great food and wine at Doc Martin's restaurant (they've won a Wine Spectator award for 20 years in a row now), funky yet comfortable rooms, great live music, huge kiva fireplace and amazing margaritas in the lobby and Adobe Bar (known as "the living room of Taos"), and the Plaza a short stroll away.

I would recommend the Cottonwood Inn which is almost halfway between Taos and the ski valley. Near two great restaurants (Sabroso and the Old Blinking Light) and very quiet. The full breakfast was great as was the ambiance. Hot tubs, gardens and wonderful pinon wood-burning fireplaces. The hosts have a sizable library of movies and books to relax with.

I was just in TSV for the first time a few weeks ago. I stayed at the Snakedance Inn and loved it! The condos are very warm and comfortable (totally conducive to nice apres-ski naps!) Location could not be better- it is incredibly convenient for skiers! And the staff is so friendly! I will be coming back as soon as I can!

There is unquestionably no better place to stay in Taos than the magical, Casa Magnolia. It's not a hotel, it is a fairytale-like (but with every modern amenity)3-bedroom large adobe home that is amazing in winter, summer, spring and fall! It is located half-way between the town of Taos and the Taos ski valley. When you enter the house you can step down into the huge living room with it's 15 foot tall, all glass window which looks out onto the most unbelievable view of mystical, Taos Mountain. I have stayed in the house many times and have sat in front of the kiva fireplace and watched the moonrise over the mountain. In the daytime, you can watch a herd of cows parade by to graze in the meadow behind the house. Casa Magnolia is part of a very tiny grouping of homes, and shares a swimming pool, sauna, tennis/basketball court, and more. The phone number is not listed so you have to call an 800 number to reserve it; 800-788-8267.

Part of the reason I now live in Taos was due to my deliciously relaxing and amazing stay at Casa Gallina. Richard Spera, owner and amazing host, has created an amazing environment central to town that feels like a home away from home. The thoughtful pieces like wine and tapas waiting for you when you arrive are just the beginning of his immense generosity. He offers amazing breakfasts, and even massage, on-site!

Edelweiss Lodge & Spa- Certainly the most luxurious and convenient place to stay in Taos Ski Valley. Ski-in/ski-out with personal boot lockers, complementary ski valet service, excellent spa services and underground parking make this the most convenient place to stay. The restaurant as mentioned is top notch and a great place to meet the locals for happy hour- don't know why the lodging was omitted from review. Try it and you won't need to try anywhere else.

Health Plus Blood Cleanse Total Body Cleansing System Blood 4 of 8 - 90 Capsules
Health Plus Blood Cleanse Total Body Cleansing System is the fourth of 8 products in the Total Body Cleanse System, which targets the colon, liver, blood, heart, adrenal, joint and prostate. Maintain optimum health with Blood Cleanse and the other Total Body Cleanses!
Blood CleanseBlood Cleanse is made with all natural ingredients that aid the blood by:
Blood Cleanse is formulated with folic acid, vitamin B 12, phosphorus, copper, carotenoid complex, Echinacea root, choline, dandelion root, burdock root, red clover blossom, chlorophyll, and astaxanthin.
About the blood:The health of your blood is vital for life and for the maintenance of a strong immune system.
Many health conditions develop from an over-acid blood pH that results from accumulated toxins in the blood. Most of these toxins are acids formed by the natural body wastes and the foods we eat. These acids are normally eliminated when the body's organs are functioning properly.
Blood quality must be healthy for the lymphatic system to filter toxins out adequately. The acid and alkaline quality of the blood should always be balanced. The pH factor ranges from a scale of pH-1 to pH-12. A pH of less then 7 is acid, and more than 7 is alkaline. Healthy blood should be slightly alkaline, between a pH of 7.3 and 7.45.
When a poor diet consisting of excess sugar, white flour, fatty foods, caffeine, alcohol and chemical food additives and preservatives are consumed, the bloodstream can become congested with toxins, fat, cholesterol and mucus that accumulates in the organs. This may lead to further deterioration of the blood quality and negatively affect the lymphatic system.
When a failure of the mechanisms responsible for maintaining a balance between acid and alkali takes place, an abnormal level of acidity in the blood causes a condition known as acidosis. Acidosis can create an unhealthy internal environment that leaves the body's health vulnerable.
Burdock Root is known in herbology as a "blood purifier." It helps to clear toxins from the bloodstream. The fatty acids in burdock root are thought to help neutralize and eliminate the body's toxins. Burdock is a good source of iron, which is a necessary component in healthy blood.
Dandelion Root is a nourishing herb also classified as a blood purifier.Dandelion root is included in Blood Cleanse because of its ability to support the liver and kidneys in flushing out toxins brought to these organs via the blood. Dandelion strengthens the liver by promoting bile secretions and provides a gentle cleansing action, eliminating metabolic waste. Dandelion also aids in the removal of excess fluid through the kidneys. The Kidneys are responsible to eliminate potentially harmful substances that are detoxified by the liver.
Echinacea is known as the "cold" herb and is included in Blood Cleanse because it enhances T-cell activity and stimulates the production of white blood cells to support healthy immunity during and after the cleanse.
Red Clover Blossom has been used traditionally to purify the blood, as it supports expulsion of toxins from the bloodstream, liver and kidneys, and helps support a healthy urinary tract.
Vitamin B12 – This vitamin, also called cyanocobalamin, helps maintain healthy red blood cells.
Carotenoid Complex is a specific class of antioxidants, found in fruits and vegetables that help them fight free radicals that prevent their healthy maturity. Carotenoids are included in Blood Cleanse to assist the body's immune system to quench free radicals before they have a chance to damage healthy blood cells
Chlorophyll is every green plant's life blood and is structurally similar to hemoglobin in human blood. When taken internally, chlorophyll can oxygenate cells by helping to build red blood cells. Chlorophyll also may be useful in the elimination of heavy metals, neutralizes acids and toxins in the blood and helps to eliminate them from the body through the kidneys.
Folic Acid is required to build normal red blood cells. Research has shown that folic acid helps lower homocysteine in the blood, a sulfur-containing amino acid that has been shown to be a factor leading to heart disease. Folic acid, and vitamins B-6 and B-12 work in concert to help lower homocysteine levels.
Copper is an essential trace element for humans and has the ability to easily accept and donate electrons, giving copper its oxidation-reduction and free radical scavenging abilities.Phosphorus helps to break up and carry away fats and fatty acids in the blood.
Are your product capsules made from vegetable or animals?The capsules for all Health Plus Products are bovine based. This means they come from cattle, calf and cows, unless otherwise stated on the bottle.
About Health PlusSince 1981, health Plus, Inc. has been at the forefront of natural health with its perennial favorite, Colon Cleanse, a psyllium-based product.

A man whose tour bus was swept down a northwestern Arizona wash has pleaded not guilty to a reckless driving charge.
Joseph Razon entered the plea earlier this month in Kingman Justice Court.
If he's convicted of the criminal traffic violation, officials can seek reimbursement for emergency response under Arizona's "Stupid Motorist Law."
Razon had taken a group to the Grand Canyon Skywalk in late July. He was headed back to Las Vegas when he drove into a flooded wash. The vehicle flipped on its side into an embankment, and all 33 passengers escaped on their own uninjured.
He's scheduled to appear in court again on Oct. 29 for a pretrial conference.
Court documents do not list an attorney for Razon.

The Slaver Weapon
By Xeromboteles
"The Slaver Weapon" was an actual re-write of a pre-existing Niven short story. The characters were changed to make them Trek-friendly; for example, the detestable-to-the-Kzinti (for being a vegetarian) Puppeteer became the detestable-to-the-Kzinti (likewise, for being a vegetarian) Mr. Spock. It was cool to see genuine SF translated to a kiddie animated short - perhaps a high point in the history of animated SF.

The Slaver Weapon
By Sam Hoskins
This was the most unusual of the 22 animated Star Trek episodes from Filmation/Paramount. It only had three characters from The Enterprise: Spock, Sulu, and Uhura, a very good trio who could have been the basis for many stories. Despite the studio credits, no other characters from the regular series appeared. The episode was written by SF writer Larry Niven, who adapted significant elements of his fictional universe into the ST story. The extinct race of the Slavers and the carnivorous cat-like Kzinti were such elements. Because of copyright protections of these elements in print, this was the only animated ST episode which could not be later adapted to print (by Alan Dean Foster). "

A New Jersey man was pronounced dead at Park City Mountain Resort after hitting a tree on the Silver King ski run.
Park City police Capt. Phil Kirk said William Kivet, 67, was skiing down a black diamond run for advanced skiers when he struck the tree.
The 11:30 a.m. Monday accident was witnessed by a friend of the victim, Kirk said.
Kivet had intentionally left the groomed trail and skied into a forested area, Kirk said. Ski patrol personnel transported the victim to the base of the mountain where doctors declared he had died.
