Same store also had really nice Peal & Co for Brooks perf cap toe (photo from Brooks site) in my size with even less wear than the shells - somehow they only had the right shoe. I spent the next 45 minutes scouring the entire store for the other one with no luck. Felt awful having to leave it behind - more than anything because I was really liking the style... shells were definitely a nice consolation prize though.
This scavenger hunt thing is awesome. I may have to skip the first couple of weeks but looking forward to participating.

A bit dirty but it was half off.

A couple of Cucinelli. I found these at the same thrift store a week apart. In 18 months of thrifting, I've only really found 4 things at this particular store: these Cucinelli sweaters, a D'Avenza jacket, and Brioni jacket.
Gran Sasso sweaters.
Women's Armani Classico blazer. I rarely pick up women's stuff but everything about this felt right. Is anyone able to authenticate?

Almost passed up on this because it's a 42 extra extra short....almost.

A bunch of people have PM'd me with questions about the '70s shirts. To avoid cluttering up the thread with business, I'm putting everything in a spoiler below.
Here's a sample pic.:
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
All shirts are printed on 100% cotton stock. The adult shirts are vtg Fruit of the Loom. The kid's are Viscount. The printing was done in the '70s.
Because these have been in storage for so long, I would prefer to hand-wash and hang-dry before selling. You can see that some of the sample pics have a bit of dirt on them. But it'll be up to you. I won't ship anything that isn't clean, so this thread is basically pre-orders. I have other shirts with other graphics that I'm going to hold back for now.
Obviously, I have only a finite amount of these things. So while I'd prefer to sell them for what they'd cost in 1974, I'll need to cover shipping from Canada and make a bit of a return. I'm thinking that $25 shipped is fair.
Adult Large: Also available in a black graphic.

I can exactly tell you how I feel about that fight! Silva deserved to get knocked out for being a cocky bastard! His plan of toying with Weidman back fired on him. The cocky bastard even refused to touch gloves! Wtf is that? I mean, Weidman ain't no joke either. He took down Silva earlier during round one with relative ease. His skills were also apparent with his almost Heel Hook on Silva then transitioned into an almost Achille Lock. And on top of that, he even landed some decent elbows and punches on Silva's dome. You can tell by the end of round one, Silva was a bit gassed.
All in all, Silva could have won the match had he did what he did best. But noooooooooo, he had to risk it all by acting like a jack ass. As a result, he was dethroned! Maybe their 10 years apart in age also played a hand in Silva's game. Rather than trying to go toe to toe with Weidman, he resorted to cheap mind games. Yes, a rematch would be awesome. But then again, this could be Silva's downfall a la Rich Franklin style.

As we head into the holiday season, we at Care2 are taking a second look at some of the people we've covered this year and who we really admire. In a nutshell, they're our Holiday Heroes.
Richard Louv (pronounced like "move") is a nature journalist and educator who has changed the lives of thousands of children and parents. It was in 2005 that Louv's groundbreaking book, Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children From Nature-Deficit Disorder, was published. With his coining of this phrase, nature-deficit disorder, that perhaps many of us knew existed, but couldn't quite articulate, Louv created a movement to get children and families back to nature.
"Our children," writes Louv, "are the first generation to be raised without meaningful contact with the natural world." He goes on, "This has implications for our children's mental and physical health, their ability to learn and our future relationship with the natural world – in terms of our willingness to care for it."
Since its initial publication, Last Child in the Woods has created a national conversation about the disconnect between children and nature, and indeed Louv's message is now being heard internationally. From the book grew the Children & Nature Network, created to encourage and support the people and organizations working to reconnect children with nature. Hundreds of groups and initiatives around the country are now affiliated with this, working together to ensure that children experience nature firsthand.
Here's an excerpt from his recent keynote at the American Academy of Pediatrics Conference in September: "It is a terribly under-researched arena, but the research that is coming forward suggests some very interesting things. The University of Illinois has done studies of children with the symptoms of attention deficit disorder, and reports that these symptoms get much better with just a little bit of contact with nature. Recent studies at the University of Washington and the University of Indiana looked at inner-city neighborhoods and found that the greener the neighborhood, the lower the rate of obesity – independent of population density."
You can watch an interview with Richard Louv here:
Do you have a Holiday Hero you'd like to nominate? Please let us know in the comments.

Richard Louv
great news, what an inspiration.
Excuse me, but how can there be 99% for it, 1% leaning pro, and 1% not for it? I'm not good at math, but isn't that 101%? LOL.
Richard Louv is awesome. Also, another person you might want to recognize is Jon Young (see www.jonyoung.org). He founded the Wilderness Awareness School in Duvall, WA over 25 years ago and was personally mentored by tracker Tom Brown Jr from the young age of 10. He is now 50 and he has been helping kids and adults make deep connections to nature for most of his life. He has written several books and has trained thousands of naturalists, who now have their own programs around the world, programs whose main mission is to get kids out in nature and connect deeply on a regular basis. Definitely someone to recognize and appreciate for all that he has done for kids and nature.
As a child I lived in a rural area and was blessed to have such a close relationship with nature. Also reading nature stories by Thonrton Burgess as a child helped develop my all abiding love of nature. I hope all children have access to the wonders of the great outdoors, the miracles of a garden, or watching any kind of wildlife from birds to bunnies.
I love his story and he is, indeed, a hero.
I love a good hero story. Thanks for
posting this.
You are right Christine. There are so many in every neighborhood that it is very difficult. Amazing that there are so many people that are so sick.
Wow, scarey yet powerful. .
great article, thanks. wish all kids could experience the beauty of being in natire.
If we could just keep the darn pedophiles and rapists in check so our kids could experience nature without parents having to be paranoid all the time!
A lot of children nowadays don't experience nature, their mothers do not seem to want them any where they may get dirty!!

The next essential element to losing those LBS is visiting be discovering a wonderful workout. Heck, science has shown that you could get a decent exercise in just 7 mins, so you actually don't have a justification any longer for not getting at the very least a small amount of exercise!

I have not used an acid stop bath in at least 25 years and have never experienced the problem you describe. However, I do know one of the causes of this problem.
If you put the reels in PHoto FLo youwill get the increased density along the edge because Photo FLo acts as a catalyst to the developer.
In order to remove traces of Photo Flo from the reels it is necessaryto scrub them in hot water with a toothbrush.

Miami needed to win Games 6 and 7 of the finals to capture the title, and needed a huge late comeback in Game 6 just to force the ultimate game. Down by five with less than a half-minute left in regulation, James and Ray Allen made 3-pointers _ Allen's coming with 5.2 seconds left _ to force overtime, and the Heat ultimately prevailed to get into Game 7.
"I have to say that is the biggest shot I ever hit in my career," Allen said.
Along the parade route, one vehicle carried a number of uniformed military personnel. The Heat have honored military members before every home game in Miami for the past several seasons.
Police reported no major problems, and bomb- and drug-sniffing dogs were spotted working their way through the crowd. City officials banned fans from carrying backpacks, though several were spotted along the route and some people were searched randomly for security reasons. The huge crowds and parking difficulty did not seem to take away from the fans' celebratory mood.
"It's the excitement of something that doesn't come around too often, even though we've been lucky to experience it two years in a row," said Heat fan Blake Thames, who made the trip down from Palm Beach County.
Some fans began arriving before sunrise Monday, and traffic into downtown was extremely heavy as people hoped to get close enough for a glimpse of the celebration.
"It hasn't hit me yet," James said. "This is unbelievable to be a part of such a great franchise and to be able to go back-to-back."
Players spent the weekend celebrating. Some are planning to start vacations later this week, while others will remain in South Florida for at least a few more days.
"All the fans that we're seeing here is who supported us throughout the whole season, man," James said. "This is the least we could do is ride through the city and show our appreciation."
Associated Press Writers Jennifer Kay and Kelli Kennedy in Miami contributed to this report.

Infant Carriers by Baby Ktan
Baby K'tan
is a company that was developed by a mom and a close friend. Michal Chasal was preparing for the birth of her first baby, Cody in 1999. Cody was born with Down syndrome. Michal was using a baby carrier that she received as a gift, but the baby carrier wasn't going to work for Cody, because of his Down syndrome and his low muscle tone that comes with the disease. Michal experimented with the baby carrier's that was currently on the market. She would put two slings together to, so she could hold Cody close to her and support his low muscle tone. Michal created her own baby carrier. Her friend Isaac Wernick borrowed the carrier that Michal created when their baby was born with a heart condition. Isaac encouraged Michal to bring her amazing baby carrier to the public and together Michal Chasal and Isaac Wernick started Baby K'tan. The Baby K'tan baby carrier is unique. It is similar to a sling, but so much more. The baby carrier allows the baby to be carried upright, breastfed and so much more. The baby carrier has seven different positions. The baby sling supports the baby, while providing the weight of the baby to be distributed on both shoulders, instead of just one, which is excellent for parents. The Baby K'tan comes in a variety of colors. It is machine washable. It is made of a 100% cotton that has an amazing one-way stretch added. This provides the baby to move, but be secure along with providing the support that babies with special needs depend on. The Baby K'tan is a unique and amazing product that is designed for all babies, but especially for babies with any special needs. The Baby K'tan comes in different sizes to fit the weight of your baby. The Baby K'tan is a unique baby carrier that meets more than one need.

Archive for the 'Borgward' tag
Four-Links – Roman holiday, Borgward's Traumwagen, vintage racing games, Darrin's Darrin
* If Ronan Glon's reflections on his recent visit to Rome – and on the Roman old car population – are to believed, we're glad that a) we had a chance to see the autofauna there before it started dwindling away, and b) that he brought back plenty of photos of those old cars he spotted there, including the Chevrolet Blazer.
* Borgward's planning a return, but we can probably only hope that the company resurrects its Traumwagen concept car from 1955 as its new-millennium production car.
* Racing-themed video games played a large part in getting today's emerging car collectors interested in cars, so it only makes sense that nostalgia for Pole Position, Spy Hunter, and other such games would come around, as Petrolicious explored this week.
* The Kaiser Darrin's look changed completely once Dutch Darrin decided to build his own short run of the cars and replace the three-position formal roof with a sleeker hardtop, as Forgotten Fiberglass recently showed us.
* Finally, Group B racing of the 1980s was dominated by amped-up turbocharged four-cylinder hatches, but what would it have looked like if MG's naturally aspirated V-6-powered Metro 6R4 really got a chance to compete? AROnline took a look at the history of the rally special last year.
With Chinese backing, German automaker Borgward plans its return
Borgward teaser rendering. Photos courtesy Borgward AG.
No, this is not a Jon Stewart throwaway line from The Daily Show. Borgward, according to several reports, is coming back. If you don't remember that make of automobile, you're excused. The final Borgward rolled off the assembly line in Bremen, Germany, in 1961. The founder's grandson, Christian Borgward, says he has backing from Beiqi Foton, a Chinese truck manufacturer aligned with Daimler AG, to produce a new line of cars. More details will be forthcoming at this year's Geneva Motor Show, scheduled for March 5-15.
1955 Borgward Isabella.
A 1959 Borgward Isabella.
The brand has been gone a long time, so some people may not remember that Borgward was once Germany's third-largest producer of cars. It was founded in 1919 by Carl F.W. Borgward and produced more than a million cars in the German port city. Some were branded as Goliath or Lloyd, but Borgward was best known for building premium cars, including the Isabella (like this 1960 example featured in the June 2013 issue of Hemmings Sports and Exotic Car), its most successful model. Automotive News Europe, citing German magazine AutoBild, reported that Beiqi Foton acquired the rights to the Borgward name early last year. While Borgward sources declined to comment, the magazine also reported that plans are for a line of five cars ranging from subcompact to midsize.

Borgward models were once a common sight on race tracks across Europe, and its publicity video for the company's rebirth seems to emphasize this. Will we see Borgward use motorsports as a way of reestablishing itself in the global market? That depends upon just how deep the pockets of its new owners prove to be.
UPDATE (4.March): Reports from Geneva say that Borgward's first offering will be an SUV, possibly debuting at the 2015 Frankfurt Auto Show.
Bremen's best: A brief history of the Borgward automobile
Isabellas constituted Borgward's most popular and successful model in the U.S. The Isabella Coupe joined the line in 1957.
[Editor's Note: In advance of the recent Ironstone Concours d'Elegance, Michael Lamm sent us a few articles from the concours program, and while we were only able to use one before the show, we still found the others compelling enough to share, including his brief history of Borgwards, which Ironstone featured this year. Next year's Ironstone Concours will take place September 27.]
The company began in 1921, when German entrepreneur Carl F.W. Borgward (1890-1963) established the Bremer Kuhlerfabrik Borgward & Co., an automotive radiator company in Bremen, Germany. He also designed a two-horsepower, three-wheeled courier motorcycle called the Blitzkarren ("lightning cart"), and later the Goliath three-wheeler which, by 1925, was used by the German postal service for mail deliveries.
Carl Borgward, right, poses with his partner, Wilhelm Tecklenborg, and their 1936 Pionier three-wheeler, an outgrowth of a German mail van. The Pionier was extremely successful and put Borgward on a solid financial footing.
In 1929, Herr Borgward, together with Wilhelm Tecklenborg, acquired the Bremer Hansa Lloyd Werke. They developed small trucks and, in 1932, a small three-wheeled passenger car, the Goliath Pionier, and they renamed the company Hansa-Lloyd und Goliath-Werke Borgward & Tecklenborg oHG. The three wheeler proved popular and very profitable.
Five years later, Borgward introduced two four-wheeled cars, the Hansa 1100 and 1700. Both became immediate successes. They received rave reviews in the press, and sales were so strong that they created a six-month waiting list. The Hansa continued through 1938 and gave serious competition to such leading German automakers as Opel, Ford, Adler, Hanomag and Wanderer.
Borgward introduced the six-cylinder Hansa 2000 sunshine sedan in 1938 and continued it through 1942, when the factory switched entirely to wartime production.
In 1935, Carl Borgward developed his first sports car, the Hansa 1700 Sport. And the next year, he introduced a luxury model, the Hansa 3500 Privat, powered by a 90-horse, 3.5-liter, inline six-cylinder engine.
In 1938, Borgward opened a modern new factory in Bremen, Germany. But in 1939, Borgward was forced to shift production to trucks and military vehicles. In 1944, the Bremen factory was destroyed by Allied bombs, and in 1945, Carl Borgward was arrested and served three years in prison for aiding the Nazis.
The Hansa 2400 fastback came out in 1952, used Borgward's 2.4-liter, 82-bhp, inline Six, giving a top speed of 93 MPH. A notchback on a longer wheelbase appeared in 1953, and the line continued through 1959.
After the war, German raw materials were rationed on a per-manufacturer basis. As a result, Carl Borgward split his company into three divisions and built three different automobiles: Goliath, Lloyd and Borgward. Borgward launched the Hansa 1500 in 1949 – Germany's first all-new postwar car and first with unibody construction and "through" fenders. This was followed by the 1800. Then in 1952 came the Hansa 2400, which introduced Germany's first automatic transmission in a bid to enter the luxury market.
Borgward campaigned Hansa RS1500 racers in 1952-54 and 1958. Engines delivered 154 bhp from 1.4 liters. RS1500s ran against Porsches at Nürburgring, La Carrera Panamericana and Le Mans.
Borgward began building race cars in 1950, the first of which was the Borgward Hansa 1500 Typ Inka, which broke the 1,000-mile record at the Autodrome de Montlhéry Circuit near Paris with an average speed of 172 KPH (107.5 MPH). Borgward racing successes were mostly in Formula II (some were Cooper-Borgwards) and Carrera.
A high point in Borgward's commercial success came in 1954 with the introduction of the new Isabella line. Next year, Borgward added the Isabella Combi station wagon and the Touring Sport (TS), with 35 percent of factory production destined for the United States.
In 1957, the Borgward Group, which now included Goliath and Lloyd, celebrated its half millionth car, making the company Germany's second-largest auto manufacturer, after Volkswagen.
Also in 1957, two additional models joined the Isabella line: the TS de Luxe and the Isabella Coupé. The Isabella Coupé was powered by the TS 1.5-liter, inline four-cylinder engine, had a four-speed transmission, and all Isabella models featured four-wheel independent suspension. Fuel mileage ranged from 28 to 34 MPG. The 1960 Coupé sold for $3,750 in the U.S., and approximately 5,000 of the 9,537 Isabella Coupés built came to the U.S. More than 200,000 Isabellas were eventually produced.
Chrysler was so impressed with Borgward's successes that they reportedly made a bid of 200 million DM (approximately USD $50 million) to buy 51 percent of the company, but Carl Borgward turned the offer down. By 1959, there were more than 500 Borgward Group dealers in the United States alone.
For 1959, the new six-cylinder Borgward P-100 was introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show. This became the company's most prestigious model and the first German production car with air suspension. It helped mark the best year in Borgward history, with income totaling over 632 million DM (approximately USD $158 million).
In the first half of 1960, buyers had to wait months to take delivery of a new Isabella, but in the second half of the year, things turned sour. The Eisenhower recession created problems for the American company that imported Borgward cars, and dealers cancelled over 9000 orders. Also in 1959, the newly introduced Lloyd Arabella experienced technical problems, and the first 1000 were recalled to the factory.
By 1961, sales dropped even more, and the company found itself with a backlog of unsold cars. Although Borgward needed just a small loan of about 10 million DM (USD $2.5 million) to stay in business, the Bremer Senate refused, and suppliers stopped delivering materials. No one would bail the company out. Instead, Borgward was forced into receivership. Ironically, the bankruptcy was handled by Johannes Semler, the founder and board chairman at BMW.
Borgward's production machinery was sold and shipped to Mexico in 1963. After several ownership changes, manufacturing began in 1967 in Monterrey and continued until 1970 with production of approximately 2300 P-100s, renamed the 230 GL.
The Borgward factory in Bremen is now used by Mercedes-Benz. Carl Borgward died in 1963, two years after the bankruptcy. In 1965, the magazine Der Spiegel reported that Borgward could have easily overcome its 1961 problems with a little financial help from local banks or the state.
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1954 Borgward Hansa 2400
A perfect Driveable Dream candidate, this 1954 Borgward Hansa 2400 for sale on Hemmings.com might look rough, but runs and remains rather complete, both major assets for a car that even the majority of car enthusiasts never heard of, let alone stock parts for. From the seller's description:
This is a very rare Borgward, only about 4-5 are still in driving condition. The car has only 3,300 km on it. Has been sitting in a garage since 1960. Before that, it was for sale for many years at a local seller but didn't sell, so they drove it themselves. Later sold to a farmer and after him to a second buyer, then was sitting inside a garage. Have paper and full story of the car. It has never been restored and is 98 percent complete. Missing tip of flasher lever and a button on the radio. These things I think you can find on other Borgwards. The car has damage to the interior roof made by some mice. Some rust under the doors and a bit of rust in the spare tire compartment. Otherwise, the paint is faded away. It runs very good and is very solid all over.

DENVER — The starless Denver Nuggets just lost their biggest name on the bench.
George Karl was ousted Thursday less than a month after winning the NBA's Coach of the Year award. His tenure with the Nuggets is over after 8½ seasons.
The longtime coach is following general manager Masai Ujiri out the door in Denver after Ujiri, the league's executive of the year, recently left to become GM of the Toronto Raptors.
"So, we lost a GM now and a coach, what's next?" tweeted Nuggets big man Kenneth Faried.
Karl had just a year left on his contract, which may have played a role in this decision. Calls and emails to Karl's representatives were not returned Thursday.
But Karl did take to Twitter, posting on his certified account: "I want to thank Nuggets fans for their support over the past 8 yrs. The karma on the street was incredible. Denver will always be home."
There are quite a few teams currently on the lookout for a new coach. The Los Angeles Clippers, Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers also have head coaching vacancies and the Memphis Grizzlies have given coach Lionel Hollins permission to speak with other teams.
"George has been an instrumental part of our success over the past decade, and we appreciate everything he did to keep us among the top teams in the Western Conference," team President Josh Kroenke said in a statement. "He is a Hall of Fame coach whose legacy in Denver will last for years to come. George is a legend in the game of basketball and I could not have more respect for him as a person and coach."
His players shared that feeling.
"I had a great relationship with him and I was honored to be coached by him," forward Danilo Gallinari told The Associated Press in an email. "Hopefully the management now will do smart choices."
Karl guided the third-youngest team in the NBA to the third-best record in the Western Conference with a franchise-record 57 wins, but the Nuggets were bounced from the first round of the playoffs for the fourth straight season. The news of Karl parting ways was first reported by Yahoo! Sports.
Recently, reports have surfaced that the Clippers might be interested in talking to Karl about their vacancy. All this week, Karl was evasive when he showed up at the team's facilities to watch potential draft picks work out for the Nuggets. Karl declined interview request after interview request as he made his way from the gym to his car.
Karl is the latest to pack up and leave the team. Last week, the Raptors lured away Ujiri, a rising star among the league's front office ranks. Ujiri earned respect for his handling of the Carmelo Anthony trade to New York and his ability to assemble a relatively starless roster that still managed to be a formidable foe in the West.
Ujiri helped assemble Karl's kind of team this season, one featuring a deep roster full of up-tempo and unselfish players. Only, the year ended in an all too familiar fashion for the Nuggets — another early exit.

Le mannequin du pouce « J'aime » gagne son procès contre Facebook. Furieux !
C'est l'adjectif qui décrit peut-être le mieux le sentiment d'Andy Newington face à Facebook. Les raisons de sa colère ? Cet écossais de 34 ans exerce la profession de mannequin de pouce depuis une dizaine d'année, et il affirme avec vigueur que le site de Mark Zuckerberg a spolié une photo de son pouce datant de 2003. How Long Till Facebook Clones Vine? No, Facebook Should Have Invented Vine. Facebook used to build the future, but since the mobile era began it's been chasing what's next — buying Instagram, reskinning Beluga as Messenger, copying Snapchat as Poke, and now getting beat to animated photos by Twitter's Vine and Cinemagram.
If Facebook doesn't bust out its crystal ball, it could get picked apart by visionary competitors, or lose its reputation for innovation. Mark Zuckerberg may not have invented the concept of social networking, but he sure executed on it. Facebook went on to pioneer some powerful products, including photo tagging, the relevancy-sorted news feed, the off-site Like button, and the unified cross-platform messaging system.
The entire concept of a social network that used your real name and offline social graph to create an authenticated online version of your identity seemed forward thinking in the age of Myspace. These features helped Facebook blow past competitors to become the dominant social network for the whole world. The Future Fruits Of Apple + Facebook. Facebook's New App Center Is Here: The Details. Okay folks, we're live at Facebook's press event for… sure enough, its new mobile App Center, the one that started leaking out earlier today.
The company shared most of the details about how the store will work during a May press announcement, but to review: it'll be one central store for finding any app across web, iOS, Android, mobile web, etc. You'll get app suggestions based on ratings and what your friends play, similar to previous recommendation features that Facebook has provided over the years. And, paid apps are also part of the deal. Facebook's Acquisition of Karma Brings Mobile Commerce, App Monetization Prowess.
Facebook has just acquired mobile commerce startup Karma, which makes apps for gifting friends and family.
The terms of the deal are undisclosed but 16 employees of the startup will be joining Facebook. The purchase will help Facebook build up monetization prowess on mobile platforms — an area it's admittedly weak in. The price was not disclosed. With the deal, Facebook gets two extremely experienced leaders in building and monetizing mobile apps. Facebook s'offre l'application de géolocalisation Glancee.
A quelques jours seulement de son introduction en bourse, Facebook vient de s'offrir la start-up Glancee.
Le montant de la transaction n'a toutefois pas été dévoilé. Co-fondée en 2010 par trois entrepreneurs italiens, Andrea Vaccari, Alberto Tretti et Gabriel Grise, Glancee est une application mobile permettant de retrouver et de se connecter à ses amis en fonction de leur position géographique. Due To Revenue Decline, Bankers Lower Facebook IPO Pricing To $27-35 Range. We are hearing from bankers underwriting Facebook's initial public offering, that it will IPO at a $70 billion to $90 billion valuation, or $27-$35 a share.
The reason for the valuation dropping below its speculated $100 billion mark is the sequential quarter-over-quarter revenue decline going into the first quarter that it revealed in its recent S-1 amendment. While that's still going to be a landmark valuation for a consumer Internet company, it could be a bit disappointing for some. "If y/y rev growth had accelerated, we could be talking LinkedIn multiples. Facebook IPO: It's Set for May 18 [REPORT] Facebook's long-awaited Initial Public Offering is happening in just two and a half weeks time, the Wall Street Journal reports Tuesday.
Citing the usual anonymous sources familiar with the matter, the Journal says Facebook will begin its IPO roadshow on Monday May 7. That's when companies traditionally make the rounds of mutual funds, large banks and other major investors looking for multi-million dollar stakes. Facebook's Patent Acquisitions? They're More About Google Than Yahoo. Editor's Note: Leonid ("Lenny") Kravets is a patent attorney at Panitch, Schwarze, Belisario and Nadel, LLP in Philadelphia, PA.
Lenny focuses his practice on patent prosecution and intellectual property transactions in computer-related technology areas. He specializes in developing IP strategy for young technology companies and blogs on this topic at StartupsIP. Follow Lenny on Twitter: @lkravets and @startupsIP. In the past few months, Facebook's patent portfolio has grown exponentially as a result of acquisitions of patent portfolios from IBM and Microsoft. After acquiring 650 AOL patents and patent applications from Microsoft, the company now has approximately 1,400 patent assets. In recent years, Facebook has consistently looked to the outside to augment its IP holdings with strategic acquisitions of patent assets.
Many point to the Yahoo lawsuit as the reason for the Microsoft and IBM acquisitions. The technology areas of the IBM and AOL patents are also telling. With Instagram Buy, Facebook Officially Pushes M&A Strategy Beyond The 'Acqui-hire' The very surprising announcement this morning that Facebook is acquiring Instagram for $1 billion says a lot about the state of the web startup ecosystem and the tech world at large — and no doubt, a large part of the industry (and the blogs that breathlessly cover it) will be analyzing what it all means for a while.
But for a big part of the financial sector, the deal signals one thing: Facebook has officially made its debut as a major buy-side player when it comes to mergers and acquisitions. Not surprisingly, Mark Zuckerberg is already trying to defuse this perception (he is a busy guy already, and sell-side M&A folks can be a pushy bunch when they see a company that's ready to buy.)
In his blog post announcing the Instagram buy, Zuckerberg acknowledges that the acquisition is a huge deal, but quickly says that it's not necessarily the start of a shopping spree: More On The Instagram acquisition. Right Before Acquisition, Instagram Closed $50M At A $500M Valuation From Sequoia, Thrive, Greylock And Benchmark. Welcome to the Monday where Facebook buys Instagram. Actually I'm as shocked as you are about this acquisition, namely because I was working on it as a funding story all morning. From what I'm hearing investors were shocked as well … The details: Facebook spent $68 million on acquisitions last year. The details: Facebook spent $68 million on acquisitions last year Facebook revealed that it spent $68 million in cash and stock on acquisitions last year, according to its filing for an initial public offering.
The company said all of the deals were not material. Why Greedy Stockholders and A $100 Billion IPO Could Hurt Facebook. Facebook will IPO in April or June 2012, right on time with our prediction and when it would need to start filing public financial reports, according the the Wall Street Journal. The outlet's sources say Facebook could raise $10 billion at a $100 billon valuation, and hasn't chosen which banks to go with yet.
But is this the right move? To date, Facebook has been conservative with monetization and progressive with product development. It minimizes ad real-estate in favor of maintaining a healthy user experience for the long term, and pushes products people might not warm up to for years. Facebook Confirms Gowalla Acquisition. Facebook on Monday confirmed its purchase of Gowalla, which had been reported on Friday, but says it isn't buying the brand's service or location-based technology but will instead absorb the management team behind the company. "While Facebook isn't acquiring the Gowalla service or technology, we're sure that the inspiration behind Gowalla will make its way into Facebook over time," reads a statement issued by Facebook.
Gowalla's team, including CEO Josh Williams and co-founder Scott Raymond will move from the company's Austin, Texas, headquarters to Facebook home base in Palo Alto, Calif. It's not clear how Facebook will integrate Gowalla's technology. The latter company created a location-based social network that lets users check in to various locations. The service was similar to that of Foursquare, but Foursquare has a much larger user base — 10 million vs.
Facebook Confirms Corporate Reorganization, Focusing On Mobile, Ads, Product, Engineering, Profile. Facebook has confirmed with me that it has undergone a corporate reorganization. "We can confirm that in order to streamline the product development process, we have reorganized our technical teams into product groups that report into Mark. These groups will be lead by Bret Taylor, Chris Cox, Greg Badros, Mike Schroepfer, and Sam Lessin." Though Facebook didn't formally name the divisions headed by these company leaders, their areas of focus are CTO Taylor – mobile, VP of Product Cox – general product, Badros – ads engineering, VP of Engineering Schroepfer – engineering, and Lessin – Timeline / profile. Rumors of the reorganization were first published by AllThingsD's Liz Gannes last night. The company has grown quickly over the last few years, making it difficult to keep those working on related products in sync.
Facebook recently installed two Chief Privacy Officers as part of its settlement with the FTC, Erin Egan for policy and Michael Richter for product. List of acquisitions by Facebook. Facebook is a social networking company. Each acquisition is for the respective company in its entirety, unless otherwise specified. The acquisition date listed is the date of the agreement between Facebook and the subject of the acquisition.
The value of each acquisition is listed in US dollars because Facebook's headquarters is in the United States. If the Facebook service that is derived from the acquired company is known, then it is also listed here. Facebook has acquired more than 40 companies with its largest acquisition being the purchase of WhatsApp, paying more than $40 per WhatsApp user. Most of Facebook's acquisitions have been 'talent acquisitions' and acquired products are often shut-down. As of January 2014, Facebook had 1.31 billion users and a market capitalization of US$177.78 billion, in other words approximately $136 per Facebook user.

Parking meters will benefit downtown Ventura
Q. I heard there are parking meters being installed downtown. Will this help or hurt our downtown?
A. Customers want convenience. As downtown has continued to attract more customers, demand for parking has soared. That's caused heavy demand for the slots on Main Street and the nearby streets, while the much larger supply of nearby spaces remains under utilized.
The city and the Downtown Ventura Organization, or DVO, have worked together through the Downtown Parking Advisory Committee to develop a comprehensive approach for balancing demand. The pay stations (a high-tech version of traditional parking meters) will manage the limited supply of on-street spaces where demand exceeds supply.
The long-term benefits are:
n Customers who value convenience will find more open spaces near their destinations at a price. Customers needing free parking will continue to have a nearby alternative.
n Revenue from the pay stations will fund a cleaner, safer downtown for everyone. All net revenue generated from the pay stations is dedicated to downtown to be used for improvements like downtown security, clean sidewalks, parking lot and alley improvements and landscape beautification.
That's why the elected organization representing downtown merchants and property owners strongly supports the parking management plan it's one they participated in creating.
For customers, there will be plenty of options for parking downtown. Free All Day and Free 4 Hour parking will continue to be available in 2,500 public parking spaces at conveniently located lots throughout downtown. More than 70 new directional signs have been installed downtown to direct drivers to these free lots.
Customers looking for convenient curbside parking spots that are close to final destinations will pay a minimal fee. The parking rate will be $1 per hour for the first two hours and $1.50 for each hour after that with no time restrictions. Hours of operation are seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 10 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday. If you only need a few minutes, simply put in a nickel or dime; you don't have to pay for a whole hour. Pay stations are easy to use and give you the choice of paying with coins, Visa, MasterCard or debit card.
The pay stations will go live on Sept. 14. There will be plenty of parking ambassadors downtown during the first several weeks to answer questions and help guide the public through the process of paying for parking while our community adjusts to these changes.

In a finding that directly contradicts the standard biological model of animal cell communication, UCSF scientists have discovered that typical cells in animals have the ability to transmit and receive biological signals by making physical contact with each other, even at long distance.
The mechanism is similar to the way neurons communicate with other cells, and contrasts the standard understanding that non-neuronal cells "basically spit out signaling proteins into extracellular fluid and hope they find the right target," said senior investigator Thomas B. Kornberg, PhD, a professor of biochemistry with the UCSF Cardiovascular Research Institute.
The paper was published on January 2, 2014 in Science.
Working with living tissue from Drosophila fruit flies Kornberg and his team demonstrated that cells send out long, thin tubes of cytoplasm called cytonemes, which Kornberg said "can extend across the length of 50 or 100 cells" before touching the cells they are targeting. The point of contact between a cytoneme and its target cell acts as a communications bridge between the two cells.
"It's long been known that neurons communicate in a similar way by transferring signals at points of contact called synapses, and transmitting the response over long distances in long tubes called axons," said Kornberg. "However, it's always been thought that this mode of signaling was unique to neurons. We have now shown that many types of animal cells have the same ability to reach out and synapse with one another in order to communicate, using signaling proteins as units of information instead of the neurotransmitters and electrical impulses that neurons use."
In fact, said Kornberg, "I would argue that the only strong experimental data that exists today for a mechanism by which these signaling proteins move from one cell to another is at these points of contact and via cytonemes."
However, he noted, "There ar

WOONSOCKET ŌĆö As soon as senior Zack Viveiros grounded out to third to end the top of the sixth inning, Tolman High skipper Theo Murray huddled his troops in front of their first-base dugout early Friday afternoon and implored them to exhibit outstanding defense.
ŌĆ£This is it,ŌĆØ he told them, referring to the TigersŌĆÖ 2-1 cushion. ŌĆ£TheyŌĆÖve got 9-1-2 (the ninth, first and second batters) coming up! WeŌĆÖve got to get out of this inning!ŌĆØ
In the back half of the sixth, senior starting pitcher Carlos Sanabria walked sophomore Randy Reyes, and junior Cody LŌĆÖHeureux moved him up with a sacrifice bunt. Reyes tagged to third when sophomore Victor Hunt flew out to right, leaving his classmate, Will Andino, with a pressure-packed at-bat.
With the count a ball and two strikes, Sanabria threw a curve into the dirt, and Andino seemingly swung. Junior backstop Chris Baldwin immediately tagged him to, apparently, halt the frame.
From the bench, Murray immediately asked the home-plate umpire, ŌĆ£Can we appeal? He swung at it!ŌĆØ That ump pointed to the field official, who issued the safe sign, and Andino stepped back into the box.
On the very next pitch, Andino crushed a high fly to deep center, one senior Joey Maynard couldnŌĆÖt catch up to, and seconds later slid into the plate with a two-run, inside-the-park dinger. That mighty poke gave the Villa Novans a most satisfying 3-2 victory over the Tigers in a Division I crossover tilt at Barry Field.
That wasnŌĆÖt all for Andino. With Tolman senior Zack Taber at third and two outs in the top of the seventh, classmate Andrew Larson ripped a hard grounder up the middle, one destined for center field, but Andino, the shortstop, dove to his left to stop it, stood and fired to first to end it.
Woonsocket improved to 7-1, while the Tigers fell to 6-2.
ŌĆ£HeŌĆÖs an enigma,ŌĆØ ŌĆśNovansŌĆÖ head coach John Marsella grinned afterward. ŌĆ£The kid has a lot of potential, but he can be inconsistent. He checked his swing at the pitch in the dirt, then made the adjustment and made a great swing on the next pitch. He bobbled a routine grounder, but then adjusted and made a fantastic play over the middle.
ŌĆ£We all have to do that,ŌĆØ he added. ŌĆ£We have to be more consistent when weŌĆÖre at bat and in the field. WeŌĆÖre a very young team, and young teams make mistakes. I just want our kids to make less of them.ŌĆØ
Stated Murray: ŌĆ£We thought it was a swinging strike 3. ThatŌĆÖs why we appealed it, but the kid put a great swing on CarlosŌĆÖ fastball and drove it deep.
ŌĆ£After the game, I told the kids that our outfield saved us about four times (Friday),ŌĆØ he continued. ŌĆ£With the wind blowing out, they crushed the ball a few times, but our guys tracked them down. The fact they play in such a big park, I thought that hindered them because those hits wouldŌĆÖve been gone.ŌĆØ
When asked his thoughts about AndinoŌĆÖs diving stab, Murray offered, ŌĆ£ThatŌĆÖs probably the biggest spot play IŌĆÖve seen in my 15 years of coaching. We had a guy in scoring position, and Larson had what I thought was a base hit up the middle, but he made an unbelievable stop.ŌĆØ
Sanabria (2-2) took the loss, despite yielding only four hits and two walks while fanning a half-dozen in his six-frame stint. Junior righty Scott Tucker, who relieved freshman Josh Mousseau in the fifth, upped his record to 2-0 with the win.
Mousseau scattered three hits and two walks while allowing an earned run, but whiffed two in the first four. Tucker threw two wild pitches, yielded three hits and an earned run, but didnŌĆÖt walk anyone while fanning a pair.
ŌĆ£Mousseau didnŌĆÖt know he was going to start until we took the field,ŌĆØ Marsella said. ŌĆ£He pitched fantastic. I just asked him to give me two good innings, then weŌĆÖd take it inning by inning, but he gave us four solid (frames).
ŌĆ£Originally, I was going to go with Scott, but I didnŌĆÖt want to put Josh into a pressure (relief) situation with guys on base, so I talked to my pitching coach (his son, Anthony), and we decided to flip-flop them.ŌĆØ
With one down in the first, Larson banged a double to left-center, and Sanabria plated him with a ground single to center, but Mousseau forced senior Joey Maynard to fly to second and classmate Zack (ŌĆ£Big DaddyŌĆØ) Viveiros to ground to the same.
Sanabria fanned three of the first four batters, but senior Kory Lawrence walloped a one-out triple to right-center in the second. Fellow senior John ParenteauŌĆÖs sacrifice fly to left plated him to knot it at 1-1.
The Tigers regained the advantage in the fifth. Leadoff batter Taber roped a single to left, stole second and scored on Brandon GagneŌĆÖs soft hit to right-center. Gagne later took second on LarsonŌĆÖs groundout to second and third on a wild pitch, but Tucker whiffed Sanabria and got Baldwin to ground to first.
Before that fateful sixth inning, Sanabria had allowed only a single and a walk in the third and fourth frames, including a crisp, well-executed 1-6-3 double play to end the former, and got the ŌĆśNovans in order in the fifth.
Following AndinoŌĆÖs heroics, Taber started the seventh with an infield single to short, one Andino bobbled but had no play on, went to second on GagneŌĆÖs sacrifice bunt and third on TuckerŌĆÖs second wild offering. All that did was set up AndinoŌĆÖs spectacular play near second.
When asked if AndinoŌĆÖs semi-swing shoudŌĆÖve been called a third strike, Murray shook his head.
ŌĆ£I donŌĆÖt buy into that kind of stuff,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs got nothing to do with luck or a call. The kid put the bat on the ball and tagged it.ŌĆØ
After the tilt, Murray finalized with his players plans for TolmanŌĆÖs trip to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y. It will face Wheeler at Abner Doubleday Field at 10 a.m., Sunday.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre leaving (today) at 6:30 a.m. from Wheeler Farm (in Seekonk),ŌĆØ he smiled. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖll bus to the Hall of Fame right away, and weŌĆÖll do the tour before we play on Sunday. The kids are really excited about it; in fact, we all are.ŌĆØ

Garden Media Group, the leading public relations agency and trend spotters in the lawn and garden industry, is back with the third installment of the 2013-2014 garden trends report. The final 'forces of nature' range from light forces to inner forces, and the impact these forces have on people's lives.
Check out these four important trends that Susan McCoy and her team see on the horizon in the garden:
Light Forces: Sunlight allows flowers to exude a magical glow but people are now installing unique light features and growing reflective plants as to enjoy gardens at night, too. Homes are displaying up-lighting, down-lighting, and low-energy features for creative garden displays. Public and private gardens are experimenting at night by hiring artists to create mesmerizing lighting mixed with plant beds and arrangements.
"A natural and sustainable way to make your garden pop at night is to add white plants and bulbs. The moon provides enough natural lighting to allow the plants to glisten under its reflection," says McCoy.
Inner Forces: People inherently want to be outdoors and in nature. Busy, everyday events prevent that, so the trend for gardening both indoors and out has been on the rise. Plants have been proven to provide mental and physical rehabilitation; being "in nature" promotes healing and increases concentration. Live indoor houseplants add instant green beauty, freshen up spaces, reduce stress, speed healing, lower blood pressure and bring peace of mind.

Jarrow Formulas, Shilajit Fulvic Acid Complex Shilajit has been shown to contain very high levels of fulvic and humic acids, both of which maintain efficient energy production within our body's cells. - it boosts learning and memory by driving oxygen, minerals and nutrients into brain cells I've started my third month with it , and it does work ; I don't feel chronic stress either
Super Awesome Shilajit product!

This is the only standardised extract of shilajit that I am aware of. I have read a lot of research into Primave's shilajit (which Jarrow is selling) and given its high fulvic acid content and other compounds that help enhance energy production in the mitochondria (i.e. active in the ETC), I believe it is great value for money.

I've used for 2 days and observed the same side effects, Heart Pain and Eye Vein Pumping. So, I don't recommend it!

....The best source I can recommend is SRB in Luton, England. They provided me with a nice and cheap push-on fit adapter for my Ektar 203 7.7 that takes the 52mm filters and shades which I tend to use with most of my other LF lenses for 5x4in format. (75, 135, 150, 180). The only ones I can't use with a 52mm with are the Nikkor SW90, S.Angulon XL90 and S. Angulon 121, because they have such large front elements. In the case of the 90XL, it is excessively large. Although a superb lens, I find it a struggle to use with my 5x4 Linhofs.
