The superficial beauty of tech by tzumWatch
©2007-2016 tzum
My latest collage piece. I like the variations in scale and the incorporation of re-iterated collage-allage elements that grow so fine in detail they almost become fine grained noise.

The superficial beauty of tech by ~tzum. So trippy, love the colours and swirls. ( Featured by fourteenthstar )
That's really beautiful!
Wow. This is amazing!
It's like a blend of peacocks and the universe! It's so detailed and colorful, and overwhelming in the good sense! Me gusta! Me gusta!
wow man this is amazing..... !!!!!!!
the detail really is beautiful. great job!
i would love to buy it its just i need to gather some points first! its absolutely amazing everywhere you look you seem to see something different
love the colours
What colors !!
one of the best collages ive ever seen! beautiful!
That is pure awesome! The colours are the best part!
Wow, I love colours~ The image is a bit small, though. I can't get all the details in, but even so. WONDERFUL JOB :>
wow this is beautiful
This is amazing. What'd you use?
It is photocollage with acrylic paint. Some of the collage elements are photos of previous collages.
waw nice
The beauty of chaos! Frickin awesome
great colors
I've often seen an image like this when I hear a choir sing. (synthasethia) But I've never been able to capture it, but you did. The contrast, the movement.. it's potential energy is fantastic. You may see the diminishing fine detail as noise, but I hear only harmony. Thank you for sharing it.
I think I'm hallucinating--Very cool indeed!!....Signed David Lee H./"ASTRO"Dave'
so pretty!
Amazing work, I love how it feels like it captures what your feeling
Thanks for the feature. Cool stuff in there. Per your article, I can only speak for myself, I have no idea what motivates other abstract artists. I find abstract art a great challenge. How does an artist paint something unseen? It is a journay of discovery that makes it much more exciting than the reiteration of an image already in front of you. It is a discovery both of the form and of the expression that form conveys and thus it is more rewarding than simple duplication. Who knows what you will get when you face a blank surface and venture into the unkown? How do you put enough control into something so chaotic that it hangs together and becomes art instead of random crap? As to that discovered expression, I believe the human brain will always look for pattern and meaning and if you create something beautiful yet unkown the mind will project its own meaning onto that mystery creating the esthetic union of artist/image/viewer that is the experience of art. Psychologists use this tendency with Rorschach ink blots and I always enjoy the projected meanings viewers of my art find that I had no intent in consciously creating! A work of art is thus always less and more than the artists intent. My work is almost pure design with elements going down onto the page in an evolutionary fashion without planning and mostly through visual similarity. What has gone down before determines that which will follow and I simply try to ride herd on what happens and impose a pleasing order. Sometimes I do. Sometimes I don't. That makes it a risk but I find it more powerful than things I willfully create as opposed to things that evolve. I can't really take credit for this type of work as it simply happens through me, filtered by my own esthetic but not really a thing that is under conscious control.
A bit polluted for collage style,and it missed quality.But it's also good!
I appreciate critique so I will try and understand yours. Polluted by what? What is "collage style"? and what quality did it miss?
Polluted by many shapes,they made the canvas full =X You should dim the edges to give more focus,this work is missing postwork.Collage style?You put your work in the section "collage" and don't know what is it?Strange.And yeah,you missed much quality,unfortunately,dA drastically strip the job's quality.
Please make into a magnet print!
wow this is so very pretty,i love the way you paint.
Congratulations on your DD!
I Love this.. ....
the inside of any artist's brain.... full of all sorts of colours and imaginations
Wow you're pretty goOd !
Truly Beautiful
Beautiful colours.
That, ish, AWESOME
Wow, I love the colors on this.
I love it.
Wow, this is a collage? Of what.. Magic?
Beautiful colors and design!! I love the movement and energy within this piece as well!

Neurocrine Biosciences (Nasdaq: NBIX) said Monday that one of its experimental drugs helped reduce the symptoms of tardive dyskinesia, an illness that causes involuntary movements and spasms, in a mid-stage clinical trial.
The company's shares surged $5.79, or 59 percent, to $15.55 in aftermarket trading.
Neurocrine said its drug, NBI-98854, worked better than a placebo in the six-week study.
Physicians who treated the patients rated the patients' symptoms, and they said 67 percent of patients were "much improved" or "very much improved" after six weeks, compared to 16 percent of patients in the placebo group.
The San Diego company wants to have a meeting with the Food and Drug Administration about design of a late-stage study. It wants to file a proposed study in the first half of the year.
Neurocrine Biosciences Inc. has no products on the market. Its most advanced drug candidate is elagolix, a treatment for endometriosis, or excessive growth of the uterine lining, and for uterine fibroids, or benign growths in the uterus. AbbVie Inc. is conducting late-stage studies of the drug.

A Measured value consists of (typically nonnegative) floating-point number and unit-of-measure. The point is to represent real-world quantities, and the rules that govern them. Here's an example:
scala> val oneinch = Measure(1.0, INCH)
oneinch : Measure[INCH] = Measure(1.0)
scala> val twoinch = Measure(2.0, INCH)
twoinch : Measure[INCH] = Measure(2.0)
scala> val onecm = Measure(1.0, CM)
onecm : Measure[CM] = Measure(1.0)
scala> oneinch + twoinch
res1: Measure[INCH] = Measure(3.0)
scala> oneinch + onecm
res2: Measure[INCH] = Measure(1.787401575)
scala> onecm * onecm
res3: Measure[CMSQ] = Measure(1.0)
scala> onecm * oneinch
res4: Measure[CMSQ] = Measure(2.54)
scala> oncem * Measure(1.0, LITER)
console>:7: error: conformance mismatch
scala> oneinch * 2 == twoinch
res5: Boolean = true
Before you get too excited, I haven't implemented this, I just dummied up a REPL session. I'm not even sure of the syntax, I just want to be able to handle things like adding Measured quantities (even with mixed units), multiplying Measured quantities, and so on, and ideally, I like Scala's vaunted type-system to guarantee at compile-time that expressions make sense.
My questions:
- Is there extant terminology for this problem?
- Has this already been done in Scala?
- If not, how would I represent concepts like "length" and "length measured in meters"?
- Has this been done in some other language?
A $330-million Mars probe was lost because the contractor was using yards and pounds and NASA was using meters and newtons. A Measure library would have prevented the crash.

China on Tuesday expressed "firm opposition" to North Korea's nuclear test, saying its wayward ally had gone ahead with the blast "despite widespread opposition from the international community".
"We strongly urge the DPRK (North Korea) to honour its commitment to denuclearisation, and not to take any actions which might worsen the situation," the foreign ministry said in a statement posted on its website, using the official name for the North.
China is North Korea's most important backer, providing it with trade and aid that have enabled the state to survive for decades since the end of the Korean War.
But despite Chinese state-run media urging a tougher line in the run-up to the test, the foreign ministry statement contained no threat of any sanctions or reprisals.
"The Chinese government calls on all parties to respond calmly, solve the problem of denuclearisation of the peninsula through dialogue and consultation within the framework of the six-party talks," it said, in a re-iteration of Beijing's longstanding position.

I'm trying to recreate a couple of charts from the print edition of a publication from a PDF of it. The text is all text, so I'm just looking for font names and a good way to get the colors out of the chart images.
Try opening it in gedit or your text editor and peeking at the source. There should be declarations of what's being used.

I'd like to run a curl command, grep the output (response payload) for some keywords, then also print some metrics via the -w option.
I think this would be easy to do if I could direct the -o output into a stream that is distinct from the -w output (which is always stdout).
tee sends the output of BOTH -w and -o (that is to say, stdout) to multiple places. I want the output of -w to go to one stream, and the output of -o to go to another stream.

The moniker for the solo project of Big Ass Truck guitarist Robby Grant, Vending Machine incorporates elements of lo-fi rock, folk, funk, garage, singer/songwriter pop, and whatever else happens to strike Grant's fancy. His debut, Unleavened Bread, was released on Yep Roc in 1997. Having taken the Vending Machine name from a song he wrote while reading over the business section of a newspaper, which is apparently a frequent songwriting inspiration, Grant's four-track follow-up The Chamber From Here to There was a dizzying roll call of stylistic jumps, hilariously eccentric arrangements, and lyrical obscurity that was far more successful than it should have reasonably been. Occasionally performing solo under the Vending Machine brand name, as well as with the occasional drummer and bassist, Grant nonetheless returned to active duty with Big Ass Truck in 2001.

The season never ends, it just shifts
Just a week after the WPS final, I've already had two quasi-rematches against players from the Western New York Flash, who defeated my Philadelphia Independence team for the league championship. In one blink, I was in Rochester cheering on the Independence as we took on Whitney Engen, Becky Edwards and the rest of the Flash. The next, I was in Stockholm playing against those same two players and their new respective Swedish clubs.
Here's the schedule: I had the WPS final on Saturday, returned to Philadelphia on Sunday and was on a flight to Stockholm on Monday. I arrived in Stockholm on Tuesday morning, drove two hours to Örebro, the home of my new team, KIF Örebro, and was shown around town a bit before jumping right into practice.
The next day I was busing back to Stockholm with my new team to face Engen and Tyresö, and Saturday I was heading up to Stockholm once again, this time to play Edwards and Hammarby.
How about that for action-packed?
Going straight into a game with a brand-new team in a brand-new country was interesting. Prior to warm-ups, I had a piece of paper with the starting lineup so I could memorize names.
The girls told me to stick with speaking English during the game since they can understand it for the most part, so I thought fighting jet lag might be my biggest obstacle.
But in the heat of the moment, when I came out with commands like "squeeze" and "pinch in," I realized that my opponent Engen was probably the only one who knew what I was talking about.
And even though I'd memorized the names on that piece of paper, our substitutions threw me for a loop and had me calling out random names to the players who had come in. Not really my fault when the player's nicknames are words I can't even pronounce. "Hey, what's your name?" "Öl." What??
Even though that game was a whirlwind for me and probably for Engen as well, we're just a wave in the tide of WPS players who've headed overseas for the final months of the European leagues. Philly forward Danesha Adams is now playing in Norway, Boston GK Alyssa Naeher is in Germany and the Beat's Angela Salem is in Finland, just to name a few of the 20 or so players who've taken the leap.
The majority of us have come over to Sweden to get in a couple more months of games and to strengthen these teams as they battle for points in the last stretch of their season.
If you follow some of the WPS players on Twitter, you'll see that they're partaking in activities such as "playing" with moose, barbecuing reindeer and watching bandy, a sport on ice that the Swedes call "winter football." Everyone is jumping right into the culture and the new teams' way of living, and they're having a blast.
As for me, I'm proud to be here with a great group of Swedish players and to join the list of quality American players to have competed for Örebro -- including Kristine Lilly, one of the best female footballers to ever step onto the field in any country.
I've been set up with a nice apartment in the city and with a bicycle, which I use to navigate to and from practice. I've met teammates for a fika -- a little break over coffee and sweets, aka Sweden's way of getting together and enjoying one anothers' company -- and have gone to the forest to pick nypon berries for a popular soup called nyponsoppa.
I'm excited to be here in a city with cobblestone streets and a castle, no Starbucks (but a McDonald's) and a whole lot of healthy, happy people who love soccer.

Hello! I'm here to let you know that this deviation has been featured in the news article Manga/Anime Monthly Features Vol. 30! Please be sure to check out and the article, as well as support the other artists that were featured!
The slight touch in Photoshop must be for those details that are almost impossible to fix right? I do not use Photoshop at all but I do not know if that is good or bad... What I know is that I love this artwork. For my perspective he seems to be in love with someone that the viewer cannot see. The commissioner [if that is correct] must be deeply happy.
Amazing artwork!

Looking For a Men's Dress Watch? Fashion Tips For Buyers
There are all sorts of accessories to choose from. But the watch is simply a must for the modern day man. It is true that you can always opt for a more casual model, but if you want to look professional and formal you have to go for a more elegant model. A men's dress watch would be the perfect choice for you. There are numerous models on the market so you will definitely need some fashion guidance in order to make the right choice.
The men's dress watch has to be thin and flat. In this way there will not be an ugly bulge under your formal jacket's sleeve. On the other hand the model you pick should not be way too small. A compact timepiece will look very feminine on a man's wrist. At the same time you have to see the marks and the handles clearly.
Generally, the men's dress watches should have simple and elegant displays. The chronograph models are extremely functional, but they look a bit too professional. They might not be suitable for formal evening events. And you would definitely want your timepiece to be multifunctional.
The models with rectangular dials are the trendiest at the moment. The popular dial face colors are black, white, silver, gold and dark pink. The blue is definitely out of fashion at present. You can readily go for a stainless steel case with glossy finish of any light metal color. The most hip models have croc-embellished leather bands in black and dark brown.
It is best for you to choose a men's dress watch from one of the reputable brands on the market. The designer models are definitely recommended – you will certainly get the style right. Before getting the timepiece you should not miss to check its technical details.
Dress Your Best With This Fashion Advice
Fashion styles come and go. This means it's up to you to pick and choose which trends you want to follow. Read on for some great suggestions to keep you fashionable.
Your purse should coordinate with the rest of your attire, including any other bags that you may be carrying. This means you should have a matched set of a briefcase and purse if you carry them both at the same time. Avoid carrying more than one bag at a time.
Be careful when wearing those sexy sheer blouses or dresses. Some areas of your body need to remain private when you are in public, or you will just look trashy.
One helpful piece of fashion advice is to make sure you're always looking out for new styles. You can remain in the loop by subscribing to a few fun fashion magazines. Magazines are going to be your best friend because they probably have the information that you need.
Create a look that is specific to you. Lots of people simply follow the crowd, but the people who are truly original are the ones who come up with their own style. This may not work for everyone, but if you feel like you can handle it, people will admire you for doing your own thing.
Pare down the number of items you have in your makeup case. Choose products you really love with a selection of season-specific colors. Make certain to have colors for night and day wear. Once you open makeup, it can spoil, so you will want to store it at home. Worse, this makeup that has been sitting around may be harboring germs, so don't use any makeup that has been unused for months.
Try using a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner for frizzy hair. That puts a layer of protection around the hair cuticle so it won't absorb more moisture. Avoid the ingredients wheat or rice that are found in many volumizing products.
Every woman needs some fashion basics in her closet. Dress slacks and hemmed jeans are two valuable items to always have. On top of that, no woman should be without a black cocktail dress.
Be mindful and aware of your physique's good traits and not so desirable attributes. Petite? Look for fitted styles and soft fabrics that enlongate your body and give you some bulk. If you are larger on top, try to find other pieces that will take the attention off of your bust line. Women with pear-shaped figures should wear light clothing on top and darker clothing on bottom.
Be quirky in your own way. You can aim to not match on purpose and wear shoes that don't match your outfit. Being perfect is impossible, so embracing a little chaos in your look can help you stand out from the crowd.
Big hair is out, so don't tease it. In addition to this, avoid styling your hair in a manner that causes different textures. You'll look indecisive instead of unique and edgy.
You should always be open to experimentation when it comes to fashion. You aren't sure if something is going to look great until it is on you! Interchanging your apparel pieces is a wonderful way to to experiments with colors and styles. You can create a unique look by wearing unique pieces.
You don't need to be lost in regards to fashion anymore. There are a variety of paths to great fashion sense, and taking any one of them will help you keep up with your friends. Keep the information in this article fresh in your mind as you revamp your image.

Men's Fashion: The Guides to Dressing Your Age
Dressing Like a Young Adult
Knowing your boundaries
Looking like a young adult is to look mature-but it's not to look like you're trying to look mature. Men's
So, if it's all about boundaries when you're a young adult, then men's fashion may be causing more problems than solving-you're young adult, do you really know what you want yet? You may not know your own boundaries for taste in men's fashion. So, experiment with the following in mind: look mature, but not like you're trying. Basically, men's fashion for the young adult is just like high school all over again-play it cool and aloof, and you'll do fine.
The best way to look like you're not trying to hard is to keep it casual-jeans are still your best friend no matter if you're a young adult or just plain young. Blazers are a great start, but don't pair them with slacks if you're going out into the real world-that would be too mature, while blazers simply create a zest of maturity. All in all, the California rocker look is the definition of a young men's fashion.
Quick Tips
The California rocker look is all about keeping it simple. Invest in a few buttoned down shirts and respectable graphic shirts. Respectable? That means take it easy on the skulls and anything else emo-ish that might seem more fashionable than mature. Again, it's about keeping it moderation-not too mature-so graphic tee's are acceptable. Your jeans can be any color, in theory. However, for best results, go as dark as you can before hitting black-dark navy, grey-ish blue, or even other dark colors like dark green or dark red can pull of a mature look that's not too mature.
Think of it like this-black is the stereotypical color for wool trousers, and trousers are too mature. So, avoid black jeans and you'll avoid looking like you're trying to be taken seriously. Otherwise, you'll be pulling off the rebellious look, which might not be exactly what you're going for.
Blazers should be solid colored. However, if you are trying to look different from the pack, then go for a dark colored pattern that's anything but dark grey. Grey's, than dark solids, scream old geezer-that's beyond too mature… Other than that, there's nothing you can really mess up. Also, you can experiment with interesting collars. There's almost no such thing as too flamboyant of a collar if, and only if, the blazer is a solid color. If the blazer has its own thing going for itself, an "interesting" collar might be overkill-you'll seem like you're trying, again.
Other than the blazer, jeans, and anything without too many skulls, crosses, etc., avoid logos. Logos like Billabong scream high school; men's fashion is better than that; you're better than that.
Military Fashion Clothing: A Better Way to Dress
Military fashion clothing is being seen all around the world on the streets and on the runway. This style of clothing is becoming extremely popular with celebrities, fashion models, and clothing lovers everywhere. Military fashion refers to any article of clothing that gives off a military feel. This could be a coat that has several laced buttons on it or thigh high footwear. Military style is taking womens fashion clothing by storm. Open up any magazine and you are almost guaranteed to find pictures of models wearing clothing that resembles pieces worn by a century-old soldier.
Clothes that are in the colors of old military styles are also considered apart of womens fashion clothing. These colors will include olive green, dark green, and khaki. Pairing a cute pair of high boots with a pencil skirt that is olive-green will give off a great military appearance. Many women are also choosing to wear hats that are shaped like military caps. Womens military boots are extremely popular since they give off the appearance of ruggedness. These can be worn with a skirt or under a cute pair of straight trousers. Many women may also wear straight pants under thigh high shoes. When choosing high boots, always look for ones that are black, since this is the color most often used in military fashion.
Taking a trip to the local antique store will allow you to shop for your favorite military gear. You don't necessarily have to wear exactly what you buy. By altering pieces, you can give a modern take on old fashions. Adding new, shiny buttons to an old military jacket will allow you to look professionally fashionable. And if wearing a soldiers jacket isn't your cup of tea, try adding different accessories to your look to give off a military feel. Wearing womens military boots with your everyday clothing will look fantastic and very fashionable. Alternatively, you can carry a burlap sack over your arm when going out. Not only are these burlap sacks large and roomy, but they also give off a very nice rugged appeal.
Military fashion can be found virtually anywhere. By visiting your local fashion-friendly store or the nearest military supply shop, you can purchase great looking clothes in minutes. What makes military style clothing so popular is that the style looks great on almost anyone, no matter what the person's body type is. By wearing some of these pieces, you can create a modern wardrobe that focuses on older style clothing.
Wedding Dresses for True Fashion Lovers
Fashion is a fickle thing. Styles come and go over the years. But one particular tradition has helped create an enormous industry in the United States. Even as the total number of marriages continues to fall, the revenues for the bridal industry have hit a record high. How is this possible? Because wedding costs have doubled over the past twenty years!
About two million American couples get married each year. The average cost of a traditional wedding ceremony is around $25,000. Not surprisingly, more and more couples are choosing unconventional ceremonies. The outdoor wedding, for instance, can save couples thousands of dollars.
Why is the modern wedding so expensive? It all started in 1840. That was the year Queen Victoria married Prince Albert in an elaborate royal wedding that set the tone for future generations. Instead of simple ceremonies, Western brides fell in love with the pomp and pageantry of the so-called white wedding.
White weddings were and continue to be elaborate affairs that involve designer dresses, exotic flowers and expensive decorations. They are typically all-day events that include a ceremony in a church and a reception in a fancy restaurant. The price-tag for the average contemporary white wedding is fast approaching $30,000.
As wedding costs continue to rise, couples are exploring other options. The beach and the backyard wedding are incredibly popular these days. One item that brides-to-be refuse to compromise on, however, is the wedding dress. They spend over one thousand dollars on wedding gowns, even if they agree to a more casual ceremony.
Bridal warehouses have helped bring down the cost a bit, but most brides-to-be refuse to walk down the aisle in anything less than their ideal dress. This is something the average man cannot possibly comprehend. Sexual stereotypes aside, most women invest an incredible amount of energy in finding the perfect dress. In fact, they generally start shopping for their bridal gown a full year before their big day.
The latest trend in wedding day fashion for the bride is the shift away from white. No, brides aren't wearing blue or red. But they are eschewing pure white shades, since they do not compliment most skin tones. Off-white colors like champagne and ivory have grown increasingly popular in recent years. Pure white is still the top shade, but it certainly isn't the only one available at local bridal boutiques or salons.
The classic white wedding gown was an elaborate, floor-length number with a heavy train. But because more and more ceremonies are being held outdoors these days, the most popular dresses do not sweep the floor. Tea length and ballerina length gowns are now more commonplace than full-length gowns. These dresses have hemlines that fall around the ankles.
Heavy brocade wedding gowns look great coming down the aisle, but they are difficult to dance in. Not only do they weigh ten to fifteen pounds with a train, but they also don't breathe well, which is why many traditional brides buy a second, lighter gown to wear at the reception. The average price of these reception gowns is around five hundred dollars. Purchasing a shorter, lighter bridal gown can eliminate the need for a second dress.
Heavy materials like satin, silk and velvet are common for traditional gowns. As we mentioned, these materials are most assuredly eye-catching, but they do not breathe well. Lightweight fabrics like china silk and douppioni are far more comfortable. They can be worn the entire day.
The two most expensive and indispensable accessories for the bride-to-be are her shoes and her veil. Elaborate veils are quite common for indoor ceremonies. But for more casual, outdoor affairs during the summer months, shorter veils are de rigueur. The most popular short veil is called the blusher. It is a lightweight accessory that touches the shoulders and can be swept back by a stiff breeze. For indoor ceremonies, the flyaway veil is a multi-layered veil that also touches the shoulders. It is a bit more elaborate than the blusher, without being uncomfortable or obtrusive.
Shorter dresses give brides-to-be the option of adding a few interesting accessories. A high hemline, for instance, can be decorated with beads, lace or embroidery. This is an easy and inexpensive way to spice up a somewhat plain or pedestrian outdoor wedding gown.
Another fashion accessory that is quite popular with younger brides is leg wear. Beach brides often wear white fishnet stockings when they stroll down the sandy aisle. Many also choose to go barefoot and bear-legged. It all comes down to personal taste and style preferences.
While it is still considered risqué for traditional brides to wear strapless gowns in church, unconventional brides wear them all the time. Outdoor ceremonies in the grass or on the sand during the summer months generally call for shorter, strapless numbers.
Finding the right wedding gown takes patience and time. The bride-to-be should start shopping for a dress at least nine months ahead of her big day. Take some time to find your perfect wedding dress now.
Fashion Trends – Dressing For The Cause
'Socially Responsible' has become a buzzword like no other; between oil, conflict diamonds, and depleting natural resources, many designers feel that the earth can only give up so much, and many are working really hard to squash the myth that organic equals crunchy. What started with Al Gore's movie and the RED campaign at the GAP has become an all out phenomenon with celebrities leading the way. Instead of opting for typical diamonds, many are choosing to purchase conflict-free diamonds as a way to show that they are socially responsible. Turn on the television to any talk show, and one celebrity or another is discussing what they do to stay green. So, as a style conscience consumer, how do you stay fashionable while being socially responsible? Fortunately, designers have done all the hard work, so all we need to do is shop!
Choosing fashions and accessories made from recycled materials is a great way to do it. The amount of jewelry out on the market that is made from vintage baubles and recycled and antique pieces is amazing, and beautiful. Look at any new line for the summer or fall, and you'll see the market is flooded with it. These large and punchy pieces look great with shift dresses and the large handbags that are hot right now as well. Speaking of handbags, choose a faux leather bag from one of the many up-and-coming vegan stores as opposed to the standby leather handbag.
This season, and likely in the future, you will see many designers donating a percentage of their profits to climate projects or other environmental organizations. In addition, you will begin to see more and more products, including denim, being made from organic cotton, bamboo, corn polymers, milk and seaweed; it seems impossible, but it's happening. Many manufacturers are also striving to integrate production processes that eliminate PVC.
In Asia, designers have begun making woven handbags from recycled newspapers to help cut down on their waste issues. Here in the states, we see many top knit and crochet designers doing similar things, except with the plastic bags we all get at the market. If you're not ready to go quite that far, carry reusable tote bags in your car and use them at both the market and the mall; shop around to find the cutest in wicker handbags and you'll leave the store feeling like a million bucks. Many stores are also offering discounts, both on food and clothing items, if you bring your own bags. And let's face it, if there is a discount to be had, you ladies are sure to seek it out and use it!
Body care is also going organic and socially responsible. Face powders, bronzers and lip glosses are going to flower-based and paraben-free ingredients. Sunscreens, deodorants, lotions and oils line the shelves of all major department stores touting all-natural and organic ingredients. Reports on these products indicate that they work just as well, if not better, than the traditional products that we've used for so long. Not to mention, you get to flash that gorgeous smile knowing that you haven't coated your beautiful skin with chemicals.
As a whole, the fashion industry is moving in a more sustainable direction when it comes to producing their wares; as a result, many shoppers are realizing that being socially responsible doesn't mean that you have to sacrifice your personal style. You can feel good knowing that you are doing your part to help save the environment while still painting the town red in a totally fashionable way!
White Dresses for Every Occasion
If you have looked in your closet and realized that your spring and summer wardrobe is just not what it used to be, we have a few key tips to help revitalize your wardrobe with as little money as possible. We understand that women's casual clothing can be expensive and with this being said, by understanding the trends of the year you can easily create new and exciting outfits with only a few additional pieces of clothing. White dresses are perfect for spring and summer and can be worn in a number of different ways to create new looks each and every time.
Although the major trend this year is focussed towards bold colors and bright patterns, there is still a place for the vibrant color of white. White is an extremely elegant statement that is simple to create and can be utilized in a number of different ways. Fashion accessories for women are the key to taking a simple white dress and creating something completely of your own. Fashion scarves are a great addition to a white dress as well. With so many bold colors and patterns to choose from fashion scarves can really make a great addition to any white dress you choose.
Halter dresses and maxi dresses are by far the most popular this season and each of these fashion dresses come in a clean and crisp white. Women tend to shy away from white because they either think it is too plain or they are afraid to wear this color because it is too easy to stain. Staining a white dress can be a very real fear but the great thing is it can easily be bleached back to its original white if you know what you're doing with stain removal products.
In my opinion, nothing says summer like a white sun dress and they can be as casual or as formal as you choose. Ideally something that can be dressed up and then dressed down is by far the most versatile and therefore you get the most for your money with this type of dress. I believe the most versatile dress on the market today is the sleeveless dress. This style of dress can easily be dressed up with cropped jackets and sweaters while you are at the office and dressed down when you are going out on the town or spending a day at the beach.
A great white dress can also double as a beach cover-up. No matter what style or color your bathing suit is, you can be sure your favourite white dress is the perfect swimwear cover-up. There are literally so many applications for a great white dress it is just as much as a staple as the little black dress everyone knows that are required to own. Whether you are a fan of strapless dresses, halter dresses, maxi dresses or smock dresses you can most definitely be found in white. Dresses for women this year are simple and elegant and this is a winning combination for any woman of any body type.

James River cleanup scheduled June 9
Citizen Staff Reports 05/31/12
The James River Advisory Council, in cooperation with the James River Association, will sponsor the 13th annual James River Regional Cleanup on Saturday, June 9, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at various spots along the river.
Volunteers may select sites between Lynchburg and Charles City County, including Osborne Park and Boat Landing in Varina. Volunteers will pick up trash and recyclable materials along shoreline areas and trails, while paddlers and power-boaters will collect floating trash and access shoreline trash that is difficult to reach by foot. Much of the trash collected is the result of litter that is carried by rain runoff along roadside ditches to streams, and eventually to the James River.

Good food and fun, bargain prices
Pelon's serves up a good mix of variety, value
I first stumbled into Pelon's on a Wednesday night, lured by the promise of $2 tacos and beers. At those prices, I had assumed the place was a hole in the wall, and was pleasantly surprised by the spacious, pleasant interior.
Having spent my teen summers in Virginia Beach surfing, I also felt instantly at home amid the ocean-themed decor. From the ride-the-waves posters lining the walls and the TV displaying non-stop surfing footage, to the foosball table and enormous spools serving as tables, Pelon's is a delight for beach lovers and surfing fans. Reading the menu is part of the entertainment here, as patrons browse burrito choices that include Rip Tide, The Curl, Hawaiian Pipeline and Big Kahuna. > Read more.

I think it may be a older Quad Baystove. Quadra-fire is a brand of HHT so parts should be readily available if needed if it is in fact a Quad.
Nice job on the install. That is a great looking flame.
@ashtree - I was just curious as to how things are going down there in Australia with your HHT inserts?

It's amazing how much you learn to appreciate a little sunshine when you live in a place where gray skies reign supreme through most of the winter and spring. The second a few rays start poking through the clouds, you figure out a way to drop everything and get outside to enjoy the sun.
So when the sun popped out just before lunch today, we quickly scrapped plans to eat indoors and instead decided to walk from Lindsey's apartment to the pod of food carts at 12th and Hawthorne. The selection isn't huge—there are only five carts—but it's all about quality over quantity here.
Lindsey headed straight for Perierra Creperie, which serves the unlikely but awesome combination 0f crepes and milkshakes. The crepes come in all kinds of cool flavors: savory options like chevre, fig, prosciutto & honey; smoked salmon, arugula, cream cheese & lemon; and spincach, gruyere & baked egg (Lindsey's choice), and sweet options like lemon & sugar; chocolate and prosciutto (seriously!); and Nutella. The shakes are just as creative, with flavors like avocado & sea salt, Nutella and banana, mint and Oreo, lavender & honey, basil & coconut milk, and dulce de leche & sea salt. Yum.
Beth went for the wood-fired pizza at Pyro Pizza. The menu is super simple—always a good sign, if you ask us. Just a caprese salad, 4 or 5 pizzas, and a few homemade sodas. Beth was tempted by the carmelized onion pizza with gorgonzola, parmigianno-reggiano, and pistachios, but going on her tried and true philosophy that in order to know if a place is the real deal, you have to make sure they do the basics right, she went for the standard margherita instead. Whoa. The crust was perfect—crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, with just a few nicely charred spots from the fire—and the house-made mozzarella, tomato sauce, and basil scattered over the top were just right.
We (and by we, we mean Beth) topped off the meal with a dulce de leche milkshake from Perierra Creperie.
We love that in Portland, "fast food" doesn't have to mean a trip to the Golden Arches. This place is full of independently owned food carts—more than 450 at last count. If you're passing through town and want to visit a few, check out Food Carts Portland for ideas. The blog has a full list of carts organized by location and cuisine, plus constant updates on recent openings and closings. Or, you know, you could just ask us for recommendations. We're slowly becoming experts!

Price fixed for 1,600 food items until end of year
Dubai: Some 1,600 food items are to be sold at fixed prices at 340 outlets across the country until the end of 2012, a Ministry of Economy official announced.
Dr Hashim Al Nuaimi, Director of the Consumer Protection Department, said that the department's inspection campaign seeks to ensure that there are no violations and that outlets don't overcharge customers, particularly during the Ramadan period.
"Some greedy people exploit people's increased buying habits and increase the prices of foodstuff"Share on facebookTweet this
He said inspections of late had not led to the imposition of any fines but multiple warnings had been issued.
He said it was easy to fine people, but what really mattered was to ensure compliance. "We do not issue fines for first-time violators, we warn them first and monitor them, if we see that they raise the price again, we fine them; then if it happens a third time, we shut them down and take them to court," Al Nuaimi said at a press conference at the headquarters of Emirates Cooperative Society yesterday as part of the Ramadan food pricing announcement.
Outlets not abiding by the price list indicated by the Ministry of Economy risk fines of between Dh5,000 to Dh100,000 depending on the type of violation. "Any increase in food prices is illegal, as it is not approved by the government," Al Nuaimi said.
Al Nuaimi said that the consumer protection department has plans and schedules for both announced and surprise inspections. He announced that there will be inspections at vegetable and fruit markets in different emirates over the next week. "Sunday we will be in Abu Dhabi, Tuesday in Dubai and Wednesday in Sharjah. But sometimes we announce that we are visiting a certain place but we go to another."
"Some greedy people exploit people's increased buying habits and increase the prices of foodstuff." Al Nuaimi said urging consumers to report any price increase or violation to the department's hotline number.
Ramadan food baskets will be available in all retail outlets across the UAE, Al Nuaimi said. The baskets contain essential food items such as rice, sugar, milk, canned foods and cooking oil at discounted prices. "The Ramadan baskets are made so that one basket, which costs between Dh100- Dh200, would be sufficient for a family of five for an entire week, meaning that during the entire month of Ramadan a family of five can cover all its grocery needs with just Dh800," Al Nuaimi explained.
Supermarkets and co-operative societies have launched special offers and discounts in preparation for Ramadan. For instance Emirates co-operative society has announced a discount campaign on 230 main foodstuffs for the period from July 13 until August 4.
Farid Al Shamandi, general manager of Emirates co-opertaives society, said that most of the items on offer are discounted between 20 to 50 per cent. "After this campaign ends, there are two others. The total amount of support provided or these campaigns is Dh7 million. This campaign is supported by the Ministry of Economy."
Al Shamandi said the ministry will ensure that the discounted price list is adhered to and there is enough stock of discounted products to meet demand.
Other outlets that have launched discount schemes include, Carrefour, Panda, Lulu and Al Ittihad Union Cooperative Society.

By Sheryl Nix, Fort Wainwright, AlaskaFebruary 19, 2010
FORT WAINWRIGHT, Alaska - The initial phone call to the family of a fallen Soldier is difficult, said Michelle Benjamin, Fort Wainwright's Army Community Service Survivor Outreach Services coordinator for the northern region of Alaska.
But the determination to fulfill the Army's commitment to families of fallen Soldiers pushes her through any initial awkwardness.
Benjamin plans to be the new face of help and hope to survivors in northern Alaska who thought they had nowhere to turn.
Survivor Outreach Services, another program stemming from the promise of the Army Family Covenant, launched at Fort Wainwright Dec. 7 last year and offers a bridge between survivors and the vast array of benefits and services available to them.
"The program was created because there was a need to help our families," Benjamin said. "Once the casualty assistance officer completed his or her job in assisting a family, the family had no one else to turn to and they were pretty much left on their own to seek any additional help. So, the Army and Department of Defense felt there was a need."
Benefits are available to survivor family members listed as next of kin on DD Forms 93 by their fallen service members. Beneficiaries from all branches of military service, including National Guard and Reserve, and families with deceased service members who served as far back as WWII are eligible for services. Children of fallen servicemembers may also receive benefits.
"My mission is to not turn anyone away regardless of what military component they're with," she said. "Services are also available to the families of veterans who have served in the past and who are in need of assistance."
Examples of benefits available to survivor family members include: childcare through Child, Youth and School Services; Veterans Affairs benefits, updates and compensation; financial services and counseling; employment services; ID card and DEERS information; healthcare information; and children's education benefits.
Benjamin hosts a monthly survivor support group the second Wednesday of each month, 6 to 7 p.m. at ACS in Bldg. 3401. The next support group meeting is Wednesday and Benjamin said it's important for family members to attend to get the latest information and answers to their questions.
"When we do have our meetings, we sit down and discuss the needs of our survivors and try to bring in the experts to let them know what's going on," Benjamin said. "There are so many benefits out there for families of our fallen Soldiers and we just want (them) to come and hear about some of them and give (their) input."
In addition to the monthly support groups, Benjamin said newsletters and a Virtual World, off of the Army OneSource web site, just for survivor families are tools she intends to use to accomplish her main goal: reaching families with the information they need to access services and benefits.
"We want them to know that they are still and will always be a part of the military family," she said.

Comfortable, clean, unpretentious accommodations in a quiet, middle class neighborhood located about 15 mins. from beautiful kailua beach. We rented a private studio that included a bathroom, air conditioning, computer/office area, king bed and small kitchenette. (They had a small "ant" problem in the kitchen, which was unpleasant and a minor nuisance. But this could be typical in Hawaii. ) The rates were very reasonable and credit cards are accepted. the proprietor was gracious, friendly and available when needed. When we returned to the mainland, we were relaxed and felt like changed people. A great place to recharge your batteries and relax. Felt like we were on a private retreat and could enjoy some quiet rejuvenation. We will hopefully return again.

We introduce a simple technique for analyzing the iterative decoder that is broadly applicable to different classes of codes defined over graphs in certain fading as well as additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels. The technique is based on the observation that the extrinsic information from constituent maximum a posteriori (MAP) decoders is well approximated by Gaussian random variables when the inputs to the decoders are Gaussian. The independent Gaussian model implies the existence of an iterative decoder threshold that statistically characterizes the convergence of the iterative decoder. Specifically, the iterative decoder converges to zero probability of error as the number of iterations increases if and only if the channel E b/N0 exceeds the threshold. Despite the idealization of the model and the simplicity of the analysis technique, the predicted threshold values are in excellent agreement with the waterfall regions observed experimentally in the literature when the codeword lengths are large. Examples are given for parallel concatenated convolutional codes, serially concatenated convolutional codes, and the generalized low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes of Gallager and Cheng-McEliece (1996). Convergence-based design of asymmetric parallel concatenated convolutional codes (PCCC) is also discussed

Chances are if you use mice in your research, you are intimately acquainted with the Cre/LoxP recombination system. (For the uninitiated out there, this is a system to achieve tissue- or cell type-specific expression or deletion of a given gene through the use of selectively expressed Cre recombinase and strategically placed recombination sites.) The Cre Portal of MGI is a nice tool to find the perfect Cre lines for your research. Visitors to the site can search for Cre alleles driven by a particular promoter, or they can search for alleles that are known to be expressed in a particular tissue/anatomical system (because we all know that the expected and actual expression patterns are not necessarily the same). The database includes approximately 500 Cre recombinase-containing knock-in alleles, as well as approximately 1,300 recombinase-containing transgenes.

This is an excellent salad and a repeat in our home. I used prepackaged baby mixed greens and it was wonderful. In place of the olive oil, I used some Pecan Oil and it was still wonderful. I still think this would be good with some grilled chicken to make a light meal. Thanks for posting.

HOUSTON -- Xavier Malisse of Belgium beat second-seeded John Isner of the United States, 7-6 (3), 6-7 (7), 7-6 (3) in the second round of the U.S. Clay Court Championships on Thursday night.
Malisse overcame the 6-foot-9 Isner's big serve, setting the tone in the third-set tiebreaker when he returned Isner's booming serve sharply for a winner.
In the midst of the fourth point of the tiebreaker, Malisse broke a string and still managed to win the point. He hit a drop shot across the net and Isner dribbled it into the net. Isner served an ace on the next point but he won only one more point the rest of the tiebreaker.
"It was close," Malisse said. "He served well just except one game at 5-2. It could have been 6-3, 6-2 if he'd kept his serve but I played well and had a a good tie breaker in the third."
Malisse served an ace at the second match point for the victory.
"It was kind of ugly out there," Isner said. "I didn't feel much pressure, I just wish I'd won."
Top-seeded Fernando Gonzalez of Chile beat qualifier Kevin Anderson of South Africa 6-4, 4-6, 6-4. Gonzalez finally got the edge when he broke Anderson in fifth game of the final set.
After Anderson went up 30-0 in the game, Gonzalez hit a forehand winner and a backhand cross-court return and Anderson followed with two errors, including a double-fault at break point.
"I think I can play better in the next round, the conditions were slow tonight," Gonzalez said. "I'm going to be better for the next match. I have to play better tennis than today.
"I don't have the good feeling of the ball. You have to keep playing and it will come."
Defending champion Lleyton Hewitt of Australia held off lucky loser Somdev Devvarman of India 1-6, 6-0, 7-6 (2) in his first singles match since undergoing hip surgery on Jan. 29.
Hewitt showed rust in a ragged first set filled with unforced errors, allowed Devvarman only two points in the second set and almost faded before finally put his younger opponent away in the tiebreaker.
"It's going to take a few weeks to get my movement back to where I want it to be," Hewitt said. "I felt going into the Australian Open I was moving as well as I ever have. So to get back to that we have a little bit of work ahead of us but we're on the right track and hopefully things continue improving."
Devvarman got into the tournament when Mardy Fish withdrew with a groin injury. He forced the third-set tiebreaker and had a 2-1 lead when Hewitt ran off six straight points and ended it at the first match point with a service winner.
Hewitt was erratic in the opening set but found his range in a 20-minute second set. He won five love games and allowed Devvarman only two points in the fourth game.
"It was hard to know what to expect," Hewitt said. "He doesn't hit a lot of winners but he gets a lot of balls back. In the second set, I served better. I tried to move him around and pick the right balls to come in on and put pressure on him.
"In the first set, I was a little bit too eager to go out and start hitting winners straight from the start.
Hewitt was leading 5-3 and serving for the match in the third set but Devvarman didn't wilt. He broke Hewitt in the ninth and 11th games and had several entertaining points.
"I think I let the match get away," Devvarman said. "He is where he is because he's been in that situation so many times, but it is disappointing to me right now.
Sixth seeded Horacio Zeballos of Argentina, the 2009 ATP Newcomer of the Year, made quick work of Israel's Dudi Sela 6-3, 6-2.
Zeballos broke Sela in the first game of the second set and cruised the rest of the match. Sela held in the third and fifth games but won only two more points the rest of the match.
Zeballos served a love eighth game, including an ace at match point.
Wayne Odesnik of the United States, last year's runnerup, defeated Mikhail Kukushkin of Kazakhstan 6-1, 7-5 and third-seeded Sam Guerry of the United States beat Blaz Kavcic of Slovenia, 6-2, 6-1.
