With more than 500 million active users and over 250 million users logging in on a daily basis through a variety of platforms including mobile devices, I think it is safe to say Facebook is now much more than just a website. If it were a country, Facebook would be the 3rd most populous in the world. It holds its own ground as the single most successful online social media platform in history and without delay it is moving closer into our everyday lives and beyond the web. Moreover, this "social network" isn't just for college kids anymore. Companies throughout the world have embraced the power of Facebook and many companies live and die by their Facebook campaigns.
Time Enough at Last
If I had to pick one single episode of The Twilight Zone as an absolute favorite, it would be Time Enough at Last. This is the story of Henry Bemis, who loves books but is prevented from reading them due to the demands of his job and the protests of his wife and boss. However, when civilization comes to an end due to a nuclear explosion, Henry finds that he has survived and at last he has all the time in the world for his passion of reading. He finds a library full of books and as for the rest of the plot, I won't spoil it for you. Let's just say the ending is the best part.
Selling with Ockham's Razor
You've probably heard the term before, but what exactly is "Ockham's Razor" and how can it help someone in a sales job? Well, back in the day, a English Franciscan friar and scholastic philosopher named William of Ockham was attributed with saying something like "entities must not be multiplied beyond necessity." Of course, there is much more to it than this, but for the sake of our context, we will leave it at that.
Social Overload
The point of social networking is to create a more efficient means of communication for all of us. Ironically however, since there are now so many different social platforms all vying for our attention, each filled with endless amounts of data, we are approaching a point of social overload.
Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, "People only see what they are prepared to see." Unfortunately, this is the problem for far too many of us and most of the time we don't even know it. We can easily become blinded by a lack of vision, just as swiftly as we can become blinded by the the opposite end of the spectrum, which manifests itself in something we call greed. Therefore, the correct path is neither one in which we are blind and unmotivated, nor is it one where we want everything we see, but it lies between these two extremes.
An Educational Addiction
By now, you've probably heard about Words with Friends. Launched in July 2009, this word-based game is almost identical to Scrabble in the way it is played. The only difference is that instead of huddling around a board game on a table, we are able to challenge friends, family, co-workers and random opponents through a device running either iOS (iPhone and iPad) or Android. This allows for the games to be played at your own pace, and you can compete simultaneously with up to 20 different people!
Limitless (2011)
There are many films about drugs and drug effects, but none quite like Limitless. When unknown writer Eddie Morra (Bradley Cooper) discovers a pill that allows him to access the full potential of his mind, he does some pretty incredible things.
The Truth About the Drug Companies
In her book titled The Truth About the Drug Companies: How They Deceive Us and What to Do About It, Marcia Angell takes us inside the prescription drug industry in a way that forces us to reexamine the claims of drug companies such as Pfizer, Merck, Johnson & Johnson, GlaxoSmithKline and others.
The Fear of Failure
Several years ago I worked in direct sales job and our lives revolved around our commissions. We were determined to make every sales lead count, so we worked diligently to close every deal. Sometimes we were lucky and things were easy. We'd show the product, explain the prices, ask for the sale and actually get it without an objection. Most of the time however things didn't go as smooth. That is the secret to success in sales; it is in dealing with the unknown and unexpected nature of each potential transaction. You never know what you'll get, much like Forrest Gump's iconic box of chocolates.
The Best Films of 2010
Happy 2011 everyone! I guess now would be a good time to do a quick recap of what I consider to be the best films released in 2010. Keep in mind, I'm not a film critic, just someone who likes good films. Also, since I haven't even come close to watching all the films released in the previous year, consider this list restricted to those I did see (obviously). I'm sure there are a few goodies I'm leaving out, but that's not what this is about. It's just my humble opinion on what was the best of the best of 2010. So, let's begin.

Ramel Bradley (born February 5, 1985 in New York, New York) is a former American college basketball point guard for the University of Kentucky Wildcats men's basketball team.
Bradley attended Manhattan Park West High School in New York under coach Mike Monreau, where he averaged 20.0 points, 8.0 rebounds and 6.0 assists per game as a senior. From there he spent a year at the Pendleton School at IMG Academy in Florida. He was then offered a scholarship to play at Kentucky, and was part of the recruiting class that included All-Americans Rajon Rondo, Joe Crawford, and Randolph Morris. Also, in that same recruiting class was point guard and Western Kentucky transfer Patrick Sparks.
Although he was not a starter as a freshman, he played in every game and averaged 5.8 points per game during Southeastern Conference play. By his sophomore season, he was averaging close to 8 points per game, but was forced out with a broken left hand towards the end of the season. He averaged 13.4 points during his junior season, and opted to return for his senior season, despite the departure of Tubby Smith. Bradley exploded to average 20+ PPG in SEC play his senior season.

The stage is now set for the semifinal round of the NCAA Division II Women's Basketball Elite 8 tournament.
But, Edinboro University will not be playing. The team lost to Cal Poly Pomona in the quarterfinals. Despite losing, fans of the team are calling this season a huge success.
"It's really nice for our school," said Edinboro fan Zach Baumgartner. "It brings a lot of attention to our area. We bring in more recruits, and we end up here."
The team played hard in an attempt for a shot at the title, but eventually fell to Cal Poly Pomona 79 to 61.
The last time the Edinboro women's team made it to the Elite 8 was back in 1997, and the team beat Gannon four times this year to represent the Atlantic Region.
So despite the outcome, fans we spoke with, are proud of the team.
"They come together, they believe in one another, and for the core group of fans that show up every game, we still believe in each other," said Jason Hahr. "And we still believe in the team."
The tournament continues Wednesday at 6:00 p.m.

Work on Brazil's controversial $13 billion Belo Monte mega-dam ground to a halt Monday after protesters torched buildings at three dam construction sites over the weekend, the developer said.
Work has resumed on the massive Belo Monte Dam in Brazil's Amazon after the public consortium reached a deal with indigenous groups and fishermen who had occupied one of its building sites.
A federal judge has suspended a planned hearing for fishermen and indigenous people occupying a disputed dam in Brazil's Amazon after they failed to vacate the site, developers said.
More than 150 indigenous people are occupying one of the construction sites for the huge Belo Monte hydro-electric dam across the Xingu River in the Brazilian Amazon, a local spokesman said Tuesday.
Panamanian President Ricardo Martinelli enacted a law Monday that prohibits mining on indigenous lands and requires that local native authorities be consulted before work can begin on new hydroelectric plants.
A judge in Brazil on Friday revoked his own order to halt work on a controversial $11 billion dam in the Amazon region, a project that has been criticized by environmentalists and native groups.
A top Iranian environment official said on Monday Tehran and Baghdad will jointly pay $1.2 billion in a project to reduce the number of sand dunes in a bid to cut the number of sandstorms from Iraq.
A federal court in Brazil has ordered a halt in construction at the controversial $11 billion Belo Monte hydroelectric dam, saying it would disrupt fishing by local indigenous people.
Researchers at North Carolina State University have found an exponentially better way to protect streams and lakes from the muddy runoff associated with stormwater around road and other construction projects.

It was fun assembling the Pack N' Play for our first child, hopefully we will get much use for additional children
Have not had to use it yet because I am not due until September, but we put it up just to make sure we knew it was good to go and it is! It's very sturdy, nice durable fabric. Wish the rocker rocked a little more but it will be a great addition to have. No other pack n' play came with a removable rocker. I'm very excited to use this. It was just what I was looking for.
I think this is the top of the line in Play and Packs. My niece is expecting twins so I purchased this from Overstock and it arrived on time and in perfect condition. I love Overstock.com.
Very easy to set up! Love all the features and that you also have the option of the small rocker sleeper you can use to bring baby from room to room! vibrating music etc also loved by my new Great grandson! He sleeps so well in it, A great buy!
I would recommend with reservations. It is very pretty. A little time consuming to assemble. Am noticing that the changing part slants, so baby always ends up sliding to one side which is quite ridiculous. My little one is less than 6 pounds so can't imagine what the slant would be like for a heavier baby. Didn't purchase it for the changing part so am not terribly upset, but it is a definite flaw.

Jack Skurnick
Jack Skurnick (March 1910 - September 1952) was the founder and director of EMS Recordings and publisher and editor of the highly regarded music review, Just Records.
Skurnick worked in a music store on West 44th Street near Madison Avenue in New York; the store was owned by his parents, Max and Anna Skurnick. The Elaine Music Shop had many loyal customers. Doris Day bought records there, and many of the great classical musicians came in to make purchases and chat with Skurnick. One of these was Edgard Varèse; another was Safford Cape, director of Pro Musica Antiqua. When Skurnick started his record company, EMS, he named it after the shop. He also convinced Cape and Varese to record with him. EMS was the first label to record Varese. [1]
In the magazine, which became internationally known, Skurnick sought to build respect for music as an art and to raise performance standards. In the EMS recordings, he put these principles into practice. His aim was to record a history of music, with special attention to the lesser known masterpieces, in performances that would be a model of authentic musicianship. He had mapped out plans far into the future when his work was suddenly interrupted.
Skurnick played the violin.
A movie buff, he wrote a script that he shot himself. Film director Jules Dassin, then an actor at the Artef, a Jewish theater in New York, appeared in it. It was shown to a small group at a space Skurnick rented in New York. A fan of old movies, Skurnick twice rented a hall in which to show them. Because he was not able to afford to rent the space regularly, he suggested the project to Betty Chamberlain, Director of the Department of Communications at The Museum of Modern Art from 1948–53, who subsequently introduced a more elaborate series of films at MoMA.
Skurnick was married to the painter, Fay Kleinman for 18 years, and had one daughter, Davida. After her marriage, Davida has been known as Davi Napoleon. She has two sons, Brian and Randy Napoleon, and a grandson, Jack Napoleon, who is named after him. Kleinman died in 2012.[2]
Skurnick died of a heart attack on September 6, 1952.

What has actually changed on the ground after the BCCI has come into women's cricket?
Initially everybody was happy with the merger in 2006, when we requested Mr Sharad Pawar, who was then the president of the board. Earlier the women's association did not have funds, the players did not have good facilities. [After the merger], domestic players started getting more money, they travelled better, stayed in good hotels and got good grounds to play on. But I think that was just the beginning, and that was it. It was a dream, and then the bubble burst. I am not too happy with the situation at the moment.
The BCCI is running women's cricket because they have to run it, since the ICC is now running both men's and women's cricket. Read more

Bought two of these- wonderful skirts!! Great flare, comfortable, classic. Love them!!
I like the skirt a lot .I bought another one .I wanted black also but they didn't have. The color is rich ,the cut is flattering and the little stretch in the fabric makes it fit perfect.
This is a great skirt. It truly lives up to its name "career skirt" by being a thicker knit than other knit skirts I have for summer weekends. I do think it's a great value for the (extremely reasonable) price. I am between a 4 and a 6. I went with the 6 for this just based on availability, and it's fine. I will say that because I generally wear a petite, it's somewhat long on me. I am 5'1" and it reaches midcalf on me. It has a little bit of a cowgirl swing to it, so I tend to wear it with tights and boots. It is unlined so I wear a half slip with it as well. If I wear it without tights, I'm sure that will be unnecessary. Overall I am quite happy with this.
I love this skirt--it is very work appropriate and super comfortable. I love that it doesn't wrinkle throughout the day as I have a desk job. The length is perfect and I truely love this skirt! You won't go wrong with this skirt!
Good quality, fits perfectly, i like it and would recommend.
I am very happy with my purchase of this black skirt.. As far as the length of this skirt, I am very short and always have to shorten, which is not a problem. I love the style as well as a very nice fabric Will look out for other Overstock values.
I am 5'4" and this is way too long for me - several inches past my knees. I will be returning it.
This is a very nice skirt to wear to the office. You can dress it up or down.
I purchased this skirt to wear at the office. I'm pleased with the way it looks, the fit and the fabric. I like that I don't have to wear a slip with it and the color is beautiful, and goes with a lot of different colored tops. I'm very pleased with my purchase.
I love this skirt. Bought 2 more when I saw how well they are made and the good quality material . The polyester / rayon material has a nice feel and does not wrinkle easily. The flared bottom has a slimming effect and is very flattering. I wish there were more skirts of this length by Focus 2000.

LANCASTER COUNTY, one of Virginia's oldest, still retains its original records thanks to court clerks who carried them home to protect them during both the Revolutionary War and the Civil War. Lancaster was formed from a portion of Northumberland in 1651-52 and encompassed all the land that is now the counties of Richmond and Middlesex. There were two court houses, the Upper Court House and the Lower Court House, but in 1738 inhabitants petitioned the Governor to move the court house to a more central location; consequently the first one was built in Lancaster and was located across the street from the present building.
One of the most prominent men in Lancaster County was Robert "King" Carter (1663 - 1732), born at
Corotoman Plantation
. He married twice, once to Judith Armistead of
in Gloucester County in 1688 and second to Elizabeth Landon Willis in 1701. Carter had 15 children by his two wives and acquired about 20,000 acres of land in the Rappahannock River region of Virginia, including
Nomini Hall,
a 6,000-acre plantation acquired in 1709. He also owned 110,000 acres in the Northern Neck and additional property west of the Blue Ridge Mountains. At his death on 8/4/1732 he was buried at Christ Church between his two wives. His estate consisted of almost 300,000 acres of land, 1,000 slaves and £10,000.

built in 1860-61, is a two-story, three-bay brick structure laid in five-course American bond with a gable roof covered in slate. Four massive columns support the pedimented roof over a brick front entrance, similar to the temple-form courthouse designed by Thomas Jefferson. The builders salvaged flagstones on the floor and an old chair known as "The High Sheriff's Chair" from the 18th century courthouse.
This earlier structure is shown on an 1809 survey that indicates a location just east of the old clerk's office on the south side of Route 3.
ca. 1800, is a late Federal Period 2 ½-story, three-bay, side-hall plan structure with wood framing and a brick exterior end chimney laid in Flemish bond. According to 18th century records it was built across from the old courthouse square. A large tavern, called the
Upper Tavern
, stood approximately where the present courthouse is today.
Sitting directly on the main road, the ordinary has been remodeled and serves as a popular restaurant and historic inn and B&B.
is listed on the State and National Registers of Historic Places.
According to a 1983 inventory by the Virginia Department of Historic Resources, there are 22 major structures in the Courthouse Historic District, including those listed here. As of 2010, another courthouse is being constructed next to the 1860s building shown below.
THE OLD CLERK'S OFFICE was built around 1745 and is typical of others of the period. The original 1 ½-story section was constructed on a stepped water table laid in Flemish bond and covered with a gable roof. It has a box cornice and replacement window frames with six-over-six hung sash.
In 1833 an addition to the west side was also laid in Flemish bond. Lintels similar to those on the earlier building were also used on the addition. This section also has six-over-six hung sash. The Clerk's office housed the county records from 1845 to 1937 and is now under the auspices of the Mary Ball Washington Museum and Library.
THE 18TH CENTURY JAIL is located on the eastern side of the courthouse green. The original two-story section was constructed in 1743 of brick laid in Flemish bond. In 1820 a second section, laid in three-course American bond, was built to replace a burned portion of the earlier structure. It has a gable roof covered in wood shingles with end chimneys. There are six bays with a connecting hyphen. It is one of few remaining 18th century jails in the country and is today part of the Mary Ball Washington Museum & Library complex.
THE LANCASTER HOUSE, built in the 1840s, is now the
The two-story, five-bay, wood frame structure with end chimneys has a gable roof of standing seam metal. The center pedimented portico with dentils and square posts may be a later addition. A two-story wood frame barn with an end opening and a gable roof, a small wood-frame shed, and other ruins dating to the 19th & 20th centuries stand behind the house.
The Lancaster House was home to the family of Civil War soldier, George Cornwell who enlisted in 1862 at age 36. After the war he operated a store next to his home and one of his sons continued to operate it after George's death. The building is now owned by the Lancaster County Woman's Club.

was built ca. 1730 on property owned by the Ball family but burned in 1917 and was replaced by the current house. The five-bay frame dwelling is said to be the only one in the United States with two sets of dormers, three in each set, protruding from the high-pitched roof. The home originally had four massive chimneys, one at each corner of the house, and the present house was built in similar fashion, though without the chimneys, sometime after the fire. It is clad in weatherboard and windows on the first floor are nine-over-nine and six-over-six in the dormers.
Major James Ball (1678 - 10/13/1754), son of Captain William Ball and first cousin of Mary Ball, mother of George Washington, built the house. James Ball married three times, first in 1699 to Elizabeth Howson (?? - 1/22/1704-05), secondly to Mary Conway Daingerfield (?? - 9/15/1730) and thirdly to Mary Ann Bertrand in 1742. He served as a Burgess from Lancaster County and was a vestryman of Christ Church. At his death he left the house to his son, Colonel James Ball II (1718 - 1789), who left it to his son, Colonel James Ball III (1755 - 1825), both members of the Virginia House of Delegates. Captain James Kendall Ball (Living 1865), a member of the 9th Virginia Cavalry, CSA, owned the house during the Civil War. The area's first steamboat visited the wharf here.
EPPING FOREST, or THE FOREST PLANTATION,
was originally built in 1680 but no longer stands. It was replaced by the current five-bay frame dwelling covered by a roof of standing-seam metal and entered through a pedimented center porch. Although it is known as the home of George Washington's mother, Mary Ball, she left at age three and never returned.
The house was built by Colonel Joseph Ball I (5/24/1649 - 1711) on land owned by his father, Colonel William Ball (Before 1649). Colonel Joseph Ball married twice, first to Elizabeth Romney and second to Mary Montague Johnson. He had several children and a step-daughter, Eliza Johnson, the daughter of his second wife. In 1708, after his first wife's death, Joseph deeded the farm to his son, Joseph Ball II (?? - 1762, London) but retained the right to live there until his own death. In his will, dated 6/25/1711, he bequeathed a portion of his plantation to his second wife, Mary Montague Johnson, for the remainder of her life. (Lancaster County WB10/88)

just across the road from
Epping Forest
was built on property owned by the Ball family by Robert Toler Dunaway and his second wife, Mary Dolly Dunaway sometime during the 1840s. Their daughter, Mary F. Dunaway, married James E. Forester and inherited the house. They had no children so at Mary's death
passed to James and Mary's only niece. Subsequent owners have maintained the property as a working farm.
The two-story, five-bay structure is clad in weatherboards and built over an English basement with an original brick floor and two windows on either side of the front door. Brick steps lead to the entry, covered by a two-tier porch with a railing at the second level and a single attic window above. Two interior end chimneys once served six fireplaces, but one has been covered over. Original pine and oak flooring remains in most of the house, which was totally modernized and restored in the 1990s with a fully equipped kitchen. Dependencies include a small two-bay frame house, clad in weatherboard, with a large end chimney and roofing of standing seam metal. Standing to the rear of the main house, this building may have housed an outdoor kitchen. Also to the rear of the house is a small burial ground with tombs of Robert Dunaway and members of his family.
was built sometime before 1838 by Charles Rogers (?? - 1841) on a portion of the Ball family's
Millenbeck Plantation.
According to the present owner, the name of the house was derived from the Latin word, locus, meaning special place.
In 1787 Charles Rogers was taxed on 200 acres of land and buildings in Corottoman Neck, acquired 110 acres by inheritance, and by 1838 an increased property value suggested construction of a house. By 1840 Rogers owned 310 acres and 25 slaves and was ranked in the upper 10% of the county's landowners. He died in 1841 and his son, John A. Rogers, was placed with a guardian, Dr. William H. Kirk. In 1854 John was the owner of 205 acres inherited from his father. The original house burned in 1854 and John built the existing two - story, five-bay Greek Revival style dwelling in 1855.
Locusville Farm,
Road Front, Photo 2010
The epitome of a southern planter, Rogers lived in affluence before the Civil War and, with the help of slave labor, raised corn, wheat and tobacco. Like many other planters, he was unable to maintain the same level of prosperity after the war and in 1864 his account book noted that 23 slaves had been freed. After the war planters were forced to use paid labor, and as profits declined
and plantations like it suffered major losses. In 1877 Rogers sold off 100 acres of a 305 acre parcel he owned with his guardian, William Kirk. By 1880 he owned 417 acres, all in the Ottoman area, and by 1906 his land had been reduced by sales to 320 acres. In 1918 the house and 250 acres were sold and by 1972 all that remained of the original tract was 6.07 acres and the house. The current owners [2010] have placed
on the National Register and operate it as a working farm producing organically grown produce sold at a farm-store located on the property.
is a central-passage plan house, clad in pine boards with a gable roof covered with cedar shakes. It is of frame construction over a brick foundation of Common bond and the entry is covered by a Greek Revival style porch supported by paired columns. A rear entry is located on the east side of the house. Original flooring is random-width pine and walls and ceilings retain original plaster. The first floor has an entrance hall with a stairway on the north side, a north room with a closet on each side of the fireplace and a south room with a fireplace, original mantel and a glazed brick hearth. The second floor is of the same plan and all three bedrooms have mantels and fireplace surrounds. The third floor, with the same placement of rooms, contains three bedrooms, each with knee walls and 7' ceilings. The rear ell, of frame construction over a brick foundation laid in American bond, contains three rooms, one on each floor. All framing is mortised and tenoned with wooden pegs and marked with Roman numerals. None of the original dependencies remain. A family cemetery on the property is said to contain no graves since all known burials were re-interred at nearby churches.
Merry Point House,
1767, River front, Photo 2009
at Merry Point on the Corrotoman River, was built in 1767 on part of the Carter family tract known as
Barford, or Upper Plantation
. A center section, added around 1820, was destroyed by fire and rebuilt. In 1940 another section, a studio with large windows and a high ceiling, was added. The house is clad in beaded weatherboard and the roof has fish scale shingles on the oldest part and cedar shingles on the other two sections. There are six chimneys. Dependencies include a guest cottage with two bedrooms, a tool house, a pump house with a brick lined well and a building on the river that has served as a repair shop, grocery store and a bootlegging operation.
James Gordon, of
built the house as a wedding present to his daughter Mary and her husband, James Waddell, a noted blind preacher. It sits, along with its dependencies, on a bluff overlooking the Corotoman, once a busy commercial river. The Merry Point Ferry, that crosses the western end of the Corrotoman River from Merry Point to Ottoman, operates from the site of an 1835 steamboat landing within sight of the house. The area was once known as the Cotton Warehouse and in earlier times contained stores, a slave block, a post office and a steamboat dock and cannery. A ferry was operating here before October of 1753 and was privately owned until December of 1820 when it was established as a public ferry by the county. Slave ships docked here and the remains of a slave auction house remain in the yard.

VERVILLE, on property once owned by the Carter family, was built about 1745 by Scotsman James Gordon I (1714 - 1768), who amassed a 460 acre tract at Merry Point between the east and west branches of the Corotoman River where he established his plantation. The original portion of the 1 ½-story house has a central passage plan with two rooms on each floor. Built of brick laid in English bond below the water table and in Flemish bond above, the house originally had a gable roof and two interior gable-end chimneys; however the walls in the original portion were later raised to accommodate a gambrel roof. Some of the wood in the central portion dates to 1690. On the first floor the traditional hall and parlor had molded cornices, flush-board wainscoting, pedestal chair rails and distinctive mantels, while mantels on the second floor suggest a late 18th or early 19th century remodeling. The remaining five acres of the original tract retain archaeological remains of most of the original dependencies. Later outbuildings of Colonial design include a decorative well head, two garden tool sheds and two small barns.
The property today [2008] is in private hands and the house, barely visible from the road, sits in a bucolic setting not far from the river with sheep roaming the fields amidst old shade trees.

These are a must for anyone cutting dados in plywood with a router.Nothing worse then a wobbly joint. These come is a really nice well made box which personally I would rather they came in a plastic blister pack and save a few bucks but that is the only neg thing i can think of...funny side note.. I went to another "local big box hardware store" looking for these bits and ended up having a bit of a argument with the sales rep who told me plywood is really the stated thickness but as we all know it isn't. He ended up walking away shaking his head. [...]

Advance Nanotech Subsidiary Receives Incremental $3.7 Million Contract From an Agency of the United States Department of Defense
NEW YORK, Oct. 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Advance Nanotech, Inc., (OTC Bulletin Board: AVNA), announced today that its Owlstone Nanotech Inc., subsidiary has been awarded an incremental $3.7 million contract by an agency of the U.S. Department of...
NEW YORK, Oct. 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Advance Nanotech, Inc.,
(OTC Bulletin Board: AVNA), announced today that its Owlstone Nanotech Inc.,
subsidiary has been awarded an incremental
Owlstone will develop, design and fabricate a customized variant of its miniaturized chemical detector using Field Asymmetric Ion Mobility Spectrometry ("FAIMS"). This customized version of the sensor will be designed to detect substances at exceptionally low levels while dramatically reducing false alarms that are typically associated with competing technologies. Initially, Owlstone will conduct live agent testing and develop enhanced algorithms to take advantage of the increased data stream provided by the Owlstone sensor. Additionally, efforts will include the development of micro- miniature elements which will enable the sensor to operate without the need for complex, power hungry ancillary systems (pneumatics and electronics). The final stage of the contract will be the delivery of a sensor module capable of being integrated into existing sensor packages in order to augment their capabilities.
Owlstone's proprietary FAIMS technology offers the flexibility to provide rapid alerts and detailed sample analysis with reduced flow and improved ion drive over current conventional technology. The performances of existing systems, which largely use conventional Ion Mobility Spectrometry, worsen dramatically as they are reduced in size. By contrast, the Owlstone FAIMS solution has improved sensitivity, improved selectivity at reduced power as it is miniaturized. It is not only a sensor, but a highly integrated system with the necessary electronic and mechanical components squeezed into a compact footprint. Micro and nano-fabrication techniques enable the detector to be manufactured in a massively parallel fashion, achieving small form factor, economy of scale and reduced unit cost. Unlike alternate miniature detectors, Owlstone's technology does not rely on exotic materials, custom engineered for each application, which often degrade over time. It is easily customized to each application through software updates and can be dynamically reprogrammed for new chemicals even after deployment. Use of chemically inert materials ensures a long operational and storage life.
About Owlstone Nanotech, Inc.
Owlstone Nanotech is majority owned subsidiary of Advance Nanotech and is a pioneer in the commercialization of nanotechnology-based chemical detection products. Its initial commercial product, The Owlstone Detector, is a revolutionary dime-sized device that can be programmed to detect a wide range of chemical agents that may be present in extremely small quantities. Using leading-edge micro- and nano-fabrication techniques, Owlstone has created a complete chemical detection system a hundred times smaller and a thousand times cheaper than existing technology. There are numerous applications -- across industries from security and defense to automotive and healthcare -- that depend on the rapid, accurate detection and measurement of chemical compounds. Owlstone works with market leaders within these applications to integrate the detector into next generation chemical sensing products and solutions. Owlstone's technology offers a unique combination of benefits, including: small size, low manufacturing costs, minimal power consumption, reduced false-positives, and a customizable platform.

Atelier No. 1 Textile by Luna
NeoCon 2012
Luna is always a favorite stop at NeoCon - it's one of the showrooms where the physical space is as stylish as the products being shown - and in the case of Luna, that is beautifully crafted fabrics. This year, they are starting a new tradition…
… by launching the first of a series of experimental fabrics. Titled "Atelier One" this unique design was inspired by Mark Rothko paintings and has a very unusual, yet pretty, effect in person, almost as if parts of the design are moving in and out of focus.
The repeat on the pattern is also quite unusual - it is a 15 foot repeat, meaning that if, for example, you used it to upholster a grouping of dining chairs, they would, by the nature of the repeat, be an eclectic mix - you have to embrace the anti-matchy-matchy. This super-sized repeat also makes this design a perfect candidate for a wall-hung fabric panel.
Product: Atelier No. 1 Textile

I wonder if this could be used for clothing. This sounds like a fantastic find; what do you mean, however, by anti-matchy-matchy?
I don't get this at all. That fabric in those Tuscan colors is feeling very Cosby Sweater to me.
I'm not getting Rothko, I'm getting "paint swatch". I do like the idea of a 15' repeat, though.
I feel like it looks like a dorm/office/waiting room textile pattern. Not into it.
And what is an "experimental fabric"? It makes me think of something technologically advanced or something, but I'm not getting that. What's it mean?

Wires and lots of them! You open up the dash and all you see is a rainbow of colored strands that disappear into the inside of your car. It can be a daunting task to whip out the multi-meter and begin to test each wire in your vehicle to try and figure out what they do. Luckily, wiring harnesses are here to save us from the hassle. There are different variations of harnesses, so I will give you a brief overview of the generic types;
Standard Ford Wiring Harness - Metra 70-5519
Standard Wiring Harness (Connects to factory plug): Standard wiring harnesses are available for almost all vehicles. They plug into the factory plug of the vehicle, so you do not have to cut it off when you wire up your new aftermarket radio. These harnesses allow for a quick and clean install and you can re-install your factory radio at any time. For example, the Scosche FD16B harness works for most Ford vehicles, providing a hassle free install.
Reverse Wiring Harness (Connects to factory radio): This harness is a reverse form of the standard wiring harness and plugs into the factory radio. It is used to restore the factory radio plug if it has been damaged or removed so you can install your stock radio again.
Stereo Relocation Harness: Some vehicle radios integrate heavily with the vehicle. For example, some Chevrolet and GMC vehicles warning lights and chimes go haywire once the radio is removed. This relocation harness allows you to keep the stock radio and move it to another location. In its place you can add an aftermarket radio without worrying about losing any vehicle functionality.
Amplifier Integration Harness: If you ordered the advanced sound system package with your vehicle, it may have come equipped with a factory amplifier that supplies power to your speakers and even a subwoofer. Once you replace the factory radio, the amplifier will cease to function without an integration harness. These harnesses allow you to keep the factory amplifier when installing an aftermarket radio.
Premium GM Wiring Harness - PAC OS-311B
Amplifier Bypass Harness: If your vehicle came equipped with a factory amplifier that supplies power to your speakers and even a subwoofer, this bypass harness allows you to easily disconnect the amplifier and bypass it all together. With the amplifier out of the picture, you can use an aftermarket amplifier or use the aftermarket receiver's built-in amplifier to power your speakers.
Chime Retention Harness: Later GM vehicles have factory warning chimes that alert the driver of possible vehicle issues, when doors are open or if the lights are left on. When replacing the factory radio, these chimes no longer function. A chime retention harness enables the installation of an aftermarket radio without retaining the factory radio while keeping the vital warning chimes.
Premium Harness: Vehicles with specialty services, such as GMs On-Star service, or factory amplifiers require premium harnesses to accommodate these features. The most common would be a GM harness that retains the Bose factory amplifier, On-Star, and warning chimes such as the Scosche GM09SR.
Speaker Adapter Harness: Car manufactures create specialty speaker connectors to interface with factory speakers. When replacing these speakers, this specialty connector must be cut. With a speaker adapter harness, you can add aftermarket speakers while keeping the factory plugs.

West Allis gradually switches to LED streetlights
New lights more energy efficient than old sodium lights
West Allis - Lots of people remember how, decades ago, bright white streetlights chased the dark away from city streets.
Then along came the big switch to the warmer glow of the yellowish-pink, sodium-vapor, energy-efficient streetlights. And the streets had a more colorful nighttime look.
And now we are coming around full circle, back to new white LED lights that save even more energy than the sodium lights. In fact, they use about half as much energy as the sodium lights do, said Michael Lewis, director of the West Allis department of public works.
That's why residents will start seeing more and more of them as the city starts the slow process of switching over to LEDs. Not only do the LEDs use less energy but they last far longer, he said - 10 years, at least, compared with two or three years for the sodium.
"It means a lot in terms of efficiency and a lot in terms of maintenance," Lewis said.
Gradual transition
After a pilot project, the city started installing the white LEDs at least two years ago, he said.
Last year, 56th Street around National Avenue got them, as did streets in the Orchard Hills area, he said.
This year, 76th Street from Beloit Road to Oklahoma Avenue will be among the thoroughfares getting back to white nights.
In fact, 76th will get the first LED bulbs that Lewis managed to land at bargain basement prices.
The state Department of Transportation bought a bunch of LED bulbs but found they weren't bright enough to meet its standards for lighting busy main streets.
"But they meet our standards," said Lewis, who snapped up the 68 lights for a mere $21,000, saving $10,000 in the bargain.
"These things aren't cheap," he acknowledged.
Lights rewired
The changeover to more energy-efficient bulbs dovetails with the city's need to rewire its street lights because the type of cabling needed for the lights is getting harder to obtain, Lewis said.
That's because the cabling needed is designed for hooking up lights in series like Christmas tree lights used to be. And just like those old Christmas light strings, if one bulb goes out, the entire light string doesn't light, so entire blocks are affected if one light is dying. The expiring light draws power and a whole block can start to pulsate, he said.
Years ago, Lewis went out to Lincoln Avenue near Highway 100 one night to check out unbelievable complaints he was getting about lights flickering and making weird noises.
"I said I've got to see for myself," Lewis said.
What he found were pulsating streetlights and a sound like Martians landing, he said.
"It was pretty much the first time in my experience," said Lewis, who noted that most communities already had streetlights hooked up in parallel circuitry, where a bulb can burn out without affecting the others.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
@Amaxe - I do wonder if it'll start out at 99% of the current in-game value of $10 worth of gold is. Also, will we see people offering to trade pets for epics, too? People already trade BoE drops from T11/T12 raids to try to get one that they can use. Is a single pet worth one epic or two?
Poor Basil's head must be spinning right now as he tries to analyze all the possibilities of this.
Homeschool said...
I appreciate that they're at least not creating new gold - it's the Pet Store version of the card game items.
On the other front, I'm quite anxious to see how this will play in the illicit gold market. History suggests that providing a legal equivalent to an illegal activity will draw away the consumers, but will also drive the instigators to desperate acts. The unique factor in this equation is that WoW is not their only market. With any luck, they'll write off WoW as unprofitable, drop out of the account-stealing business, and move onto some other game. If not, they're going to get quite a bit more aggressive about it, and I don't think that will end well for anyone.
My guess is the amount of gold you get for your money is going to be a bit worse than what gold sellers are currently doing. People are going to be willing to pay a little more per gold in exchange for knowing that it's not going to get their account banned, and not having to deal with the scummy gold selling outfits.
I'm betting that peace of mind is worth paying for to most players interested in this.
"...we're ok with it if some players choose to use the Guardian Cub as a safe and secure way to try to acquire a little extra in-game gold without turning to third-party gold-selling services."
This reminds me of money laundering, only nerdier. Money laundering occurs in three stages: Placement, Layering, and Integration. In this case you want to launder your USD as Gold:
1 - Placement - Pay Blizzard $10
2 - Layering - Money is "converted" into a Guardian Cub
3 - Integration - Guardian Cub sold on the AH; USD converted.
I don't like that Blizzard is selling pets for real money, let alone selling them as BoU. Sure, it's no different than certain trading card game items, but I was never okay with those either.
All that said, at the end of the day this is unlikely to have a significant impact on the game in any way. The number of people spending real dollars for an in-game pet only to turn around and try - emphasis on try - to sell it is probably going to be very, very small. That and inflation is already so out-of-control in-game that a new pet is going to be but a tiny blip on the radar.
Verdict: Meh
Grovinofdarkhour said...
"money laundering, only nerdier"
Don't take this the wrong way, man, but seriously, I love you.
I don't see this as gold selling. The gold sellers offer you a set amount of in game currency for dollars. Blizzard is selling a bind on equip object for $10, not gold.
Notwithstanding that the purchaser can auction off the pet, there is no guarantee as what, if any, in game currency may be realized.
I agree. I don't see this as any different than the fact that the TCG stuff is "bind on use". Personally, I applaud this. It's not as if people weren't already selling the other Bliz Store pets in-game, but bfore there was no way to know if the code would actually work before you paid. This just cuts out the possibility of scamming. Good on Blizz imo.
The difference between this and PLEX is that PLEX actually has value:
1. Who wants it? PLEX = game time. Everyone who wants to keep playing needs to get game time somehow. The cub is totally cosmetic. The only people in the market for a cub will be pet collectors and people who for whatever reason just want to have one.
2. How much do they want? When you use a PLEX, 30 days later it's totally gone. You need to use another PLEX or buy game time. The cub is use once have forever. Some players might want two or more for alts, but that doesn't compare to an EVE player's continuous need for PLEX every month.
Anyone trying to turn $10 into WoW gold will probably be sorely disappointed by how little they end up with.

America Asks About Heartburn & GERD
The Secrets of Managing GERD and Heartburn
GERD Treatments: Self-Care Tips continued...
The prospect of life without coffee or chocolate may seem terribly depressing. But you don't necessarily have to give them up entirely. "It's about how much of these foods you eat," says Cheskin. "So you can probably still have a half cup of coffee without a problem. The trouble starts if you're having the coffee after a spicy meal."
Butschlick says she misses chocolate the most, but she still eats it on occasion. "I just try to keep it to a small piece," she tells WebMD, "and I'm prepared with some Tums for afterward."
- Eat smaller meals. It's not just what you eat, but how much. So avoid stuffing yourself. Instead of eating three big meals a day, try more frequent smaller meals.
- Don't eat before bed. Waring says you shouldn't eat two to three hours before bed. Not eating gives your stomach time to empty before you lie down.
- Loosen your belt. Tight belts or pants can aggravate your GERD symptoms. Wear looser clothing, especially at night.
- Prop up the bed. When you stick blocks under the head of your bed and raise it 6 to 8 inches, gravity will prevent the acids in your stomach from flowing into the esophagus during the night. While this used to be common advice, not everyone can do it. "Sleeping on an elevated bed just isn't very comfortable," says Waring.
- Lose weight. The heavier you are, the higher your risk of GERD. How
much weight do you need to lose to control your symptoms? No one knows for
sure, Rao says. But if you're obese, aiming for a 10% weight loss is always a
good idea.
- Evaluate your other medications. Many common medications -- aspirin and other NSAID painkillers, along with some drugs for high blood pressure -- can make GERD worse. Talk to your doctor about possible alternatives that may not worsen your symptoms.
- Stop smoking. Some experts believe that smoking may aggravate GERD symptoms. Add it to your list of good reasons to kick the habit.
- Take your GERD medicine as prescribed. GERD symptoms may come and go, but the underlying condition remains. Once you're feeling better, you may be tempted to stop your long-term medication. That's not a good idea. "Even if you're not having symptoms, the GERD could still be causing damage," Cheskin says. "You may feel fine right up until the acid bores a hole in your esophagus." Never stop taking your medication unless you've talked to your doctor.
Can lifestyle changes be a person's onlyGERD treatment? Experts disagree. Some believe that lifestyle changes can be enough on their own; others think that they should be added to medication. Talk to your doctor about the best approach in your case.
Some people opt for lifestyle changes because they don't like the idea of being on lifelong medication. Al Kenny, a GERD sufferer from Englewood Cliffs, N.J., says he prefers to control his GERD with a better diet instead of his PPI. But it's hard to find the motivation.
"My medicine lets me eat almost anything, which is the good news," Kenny says. "But the bad news is that it works so well that I'm really not too careful about what I eat. So I can't stop taking the drug."

Quick And Simple Fitness Training Plans For Busy Persons
A hectic career schedule or perhaps the numerous needs of family lifestyle is the typical explanation given by anyone who has totally cast off attempts to get fit and healthy. These days however, with the increasing variety of diabetes and cancer cases, people that used to do away with health and fitness plans are noticing the need to add a daily fitness regimen to their life style to enable them to live a fuller life. This kind of need isn't going to change the point that there are requirements to attend to like career, household and cultural accountabilities that's why fitness experts continue establishing easy and simple physical fitness training courses that only need a day-to-day commitment of a quarter-hour to an hour or so.
Every single fitness training plan has target results; it may be to improve strength or for treatment or for weight reduction. For strength training, this is grounded in the "overload principle" meaning the muscle tissues have to be pushed with a weight that is beyond the comfortable. Men and women are able to use dumbbells or home gym equipment with resistance capabilities. Doing punching movements while carrying dumbbells for 20 minutes can burn over four hundred excess calories. Biking uphill also gets the heart moving and the pressure of the uphill climb improves calves.
Fitness training for swifter fat loss is always accompanied by a proper dieting. A lot of folks feel that an everyday aerobic work-out merits them a post work-out pig-out. Reducing your weight is straightforward so long as everyone has the right mind-set for doing this. A simple twenty-minute work-out directly from a magazine or a YouTube video clip can produce remarkable outcomes. You can find fat-burning physical exercises that incorporate ten moves, each carried out in repetition for just two minutes that can burn 250 excess calories.
Running is perhaps still the most popular form of fitness training; there's absolutely no complicated technology behind just how it's done and it's a great cardio-vascular exercise that keeps the heart healthy, the metabolism up and the excess weight down. A lot of people report that a simple jog before going to sleep helps them sleep better and also provides them more vigor for the following day.
You can even find anti-aging work-outs that concentrate solely on stretching out the body to help remedy lower back issues typical amongst folks of advanced age group. All the sitting men and women do at the office puts stress on the spine making the front of the body short. Dynamic stretching subjects the muscle tissue to a greater variety of movements which will keep one's body much more flexible; it consists of eight stretching exercises that are executed five to ten instances regularly. The work-out merely takes 15 minutes and can be done every single day.
