Ancient history Tutankhamun 's gilded bed from the 14th century BC Early beds were little more than piles of straw or some other natural material e.
An important change was raising them off the ground, to avoid drafts, dirt, and pests. The elite of Egyptian society such as its pharaohs and queens even had beds made of wood, sometimes gilded. Often there was a head-rest as well, semi-cylindrical and made of stone , wood , or metal. Ancient Assyrians, Medes , and Persians had beds of a similar kind, and frequently decorated their furniture with inlays or appliques of metal, mother-of-pearl , and ivory.
Headrest with Two Images of the God Bes , ca. Headrests like this were used in life to support the head while sleeping. This headrest perhaps was made specifically for the tomb, since the offering prayer has been inscribed on the supporting column, although the prayer may have been added after the death of the owner.
Since my discovery of the Internet and Usenet in particular , I have developed friendships with people all over the world and several in both the UK and Australia. The bedsteads themselves were often of bronze inlaid with silver, and Elagabalus had one of solid silver. Around January , another man named Murphy was working for Dunlop, creating foam from natural latex.
Odysseus also gives an account of how he crafted the nuptial bed for himself and Penelope , out of an ancient, huge olive tree trunk that used to grow on the spot before the bridal chamber was built. His detailed description finally persuades the doubting Penelope that the shipwrecked, aged man is indeed her long-lost husband. Homer also mentions the inlaying of the woodwork of beds with gold , silver , and ivory.
The Greek bed had a wooden frame, with a board at the head and bands of hide laced across, upon which skins were placed. At a later period the bedstead was often veneered with expensive woods; sometimes it was of solid ivory veneered with tortoise-shell and with silver feet; often it was of bronze. The pillows and coverings also became more costly and beautiful; the most celebrated places for their manufacture were Miletus , Corinth and Carthage.
Folding beds, too, appear in the famous Ancient Greek vase paintings. Roman mattresses were stuffed with reeds , hay , or wool. Feathers were used towards the end of the Republic , when custom demanded luxury. Small cushions were placed at the head and sometimes at the back. The bedsteads were high and could only be ascended by the help of steps.
They were often arranged for two people, and had a board or railing at the back, as well as the raised portion at the head.
The counterpanes were sometimes very costly, generally purple embroidered with figures in gold ; and rich hangings fell to the ground masking the front. The bedsteads themselves were often of bronze inlaid with silver, and Elagabalus had one of solid silver. In the walls of some houses at Pompeii bed niches are found which were probably closed by curtains or sliding partitions.
Ancient Romans had various kinds of beds for repose. In the early Middle Ages they laid carpets on the floor or on a bench against the wall, placed upon them mattresses stuffed with feathers , wool , or hair , and used skins as a covering. Curtains were hung from the ceiling or from an iron arm projecting from the wall. Southampton Medieval Merchant's House bedroom In the 12th century, luxury increased and bedsteads were made of wood much decorated with inlaid, carved, and painted ornamentation.
They also used folding beds, which served as couches by day and had cushions covered with silk laid upon leather. At night a linen sheet was spread and pillows placed, while silk-covered skins served as coverlets. The Carolingian manuscripts show metal bedsteads much higher at the head than at the feet, and this shape continued in use until the 13th century in France, many cushions being added to raise the body to a sloping position.
In 12th-century manuscripts, the bedsteads appear much richer, with inlays, carving, and painting, and with embroidered coverlets and mattresses in harmony. Curtains were hung above the bed and a small hanging lamp is often shown.
In the 14th century the woodwork became of less importance, generally being entirely covered by hangings of rich materials. Silk , velvet , and even cloth of gold were frequently used. Inventories from the beginning of the 14th century give details of these hangings lined with fur and richly embroidered.
It was then that the Four poster bed also known as a tester bed made its first appearance, the bed being slung from the ceiling or fastened to the walls, a form which developed later into a room within a room, shut in by double curtains, sometimes even to exclude all drafts. The space between bed and wall was called the ruelle, and very intimate friends were received there. The 14th century is also the time when feather beds became highly prized possessions.
The mattresses were often filled with pea-shucks, straw, or feathers. At this time great personages were in the habit of carrying most of their property about with them, including beds and bed-hangings, and for this reason the bedsteads were for the most part mere frameworks to be covered up; but about the beginning of the 16th century bedsteads were made lighter and more decorative, since the lords remained in the same place for longer periods.
A typical bed would be dressed in sheets, including a top sheet, blankets and an eiderdown — basically, the more bedding you had, and the longer it took your servant to make your bed, the better. The Carolingian manuscripts show metal bedsteads much higher at the head than at the feet, and this shape continued in use until the 13th century in France, many cushions being added to raise the body to a sloping position. The birth of the bed frame By the 14th century, the standard of bed started to improve.
Modern history In the 17th century, which has been called "the century of magnificent beds", the style a la duchesse, with tester and curtains only at the head, replaced the more enclosed beds in France, though they lasted much longer in England. Louis XIV had an enormous number of sumptuous beds, as many as being described in the inventories of his palaces. Some of them had embroideries enriched with pearls , and figures on a silver or golden ground. The great bed at Versailles had crimson velvet curtains on which "The Triumph of Venus" was embroidered.
So much gold was used that the velvet scarcely showed. Napoleon I 's bed In the 18th century feather pillows were first used as coverings in Germany, which in the fashions of the bed and the curious etiquette connected with the bedchamber followed France for the most part. The beds were a la duchesse, but in France itself there was great variety both of name and shape.
The custom of the " bed of justice " upon which the king of France reclined when he was present in parliament , the princes being seated, the great officials standing, and the lesser officials kneeling, was held to denote the royal power even more than the throne. Louis XI is credited with its first use and the custom lasted till the end of the monarchy. In the chambre de parade, where the ceremonial bed was placed, certain persons, such as ambassadors or great lords , whom it was desired to honour, were received in a more intimate fashion than the crowd of courtiers.
At Versailles women received their friends in their beds, both before and after childbirth , during periods of mourning , and even directly after marriage —in fact in any circumstances which were thought deserving of congratulation or condolence. During the 17th century this curious custom became general, perhaps to avoid the tiresome details of etiquette. The earliest of which mention has been found belonged to Charles the Bold. They had curtains over a light framework, and were in their way as fine as the stationary beds.
Iron beds appear in the 18th century; the advertisements declare them as free from the insects which sometimes infested wooden bedsteads. Elsewhere, there was also the closed bed with sliding or folding shutters, and in England—where beds were commonly quite simple in form—the four poster was the usual citizen's bed until the middle of the 19th century.
Bed sizes Main article: Bed size Bed sizes vary considerably around the world, with most countries having their own standards and terminology.
Mainland European sizes differ, not merely because of the use of the metric system. What is referred to as a "single bed" in many parts of the world may also be known in US terminology as a "twin bed. As another example, in some cultures, the "full mattress" is referred to as a "master size bed.
The bed is mentioned by Shakespeare in Twelfth Night. At each corner of the bed there was a life-sized statue of a naked woman holding a fan. When the Maharajah lay on the bed, his weight started a mechanism that made the women wave their fans. Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources.

Feline infectious peritonitis: Strategies for diagnosing and treating this deadly disease in young cats
Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is one of the leading infectious causes of mortality in young cats.1 In this article, we review the clinical signs, diagnostic options, and treatments for this complex disorder.
How it all begins
Mutations routinely occur within the feline coronavirus genome through nucleotide substitution, deletion, and recombination.3 Certain mutations transform the virus into a virulent biotype, which is able to replicate in monocytes and macrophages. This mutated form is called FIP virus and causes a fatal systemic inflammatory disease. Estimates vary, but fewer than 10% of cats infected with feline coronavirus will develop FIP.2 Why the disease arises in some cats but not in others is not completely understood.2 Purebreed cats appear to be predisposed, although the incidence within specific breeds varies among countries.2
Effusive vs. noneffusive
There are two main forms of FIP: effusive (wet) and noneffusive or granulomatous (dry). Some patients will switch between the two forms over the course of their illness. The development of one type vs. the other depends on the balance between the host's humoral (antibody-related) and cell-mediated immune responses. Cats with strong humoral responses develop effusive FIP, while those with mixed responses manifest the dry form.2
How FIP takes hold
The FIP virus infects mononuclear phagocytes and spreads hematogenously through infected monocytes. These may attach to the vascular endothelium or migrate into tissues. The virus replicates within macrophages, which die as the virus is released. This death of the cell and viral release triggers a marked inflammatory reaction, with the recruitment of more inflammatory cells and the release of cytokines and the activation of complement.
Vasoactive agents result in vasculitis and effusion in the chest, abdomen, or pericardial sac.4 Perivascular pyogranulomatous lesions develop on serosal surfaces and within solid organs and are characterized by an infiltrate of macrophages and neutrophils.
Because the FIP virus is strongly cell-bound and tissue-bound, shedding is unlikely unless there is effacement of the renal tubules or intestinal mucosa. Consequently, FIP is not regarded as a contagious disease, and the risk of horizontal transmission to other cats is minimal.2

Under Review Feb 2018
This leaflet is for anyone who has been given
a diagnosis of personality disorder and for their family and friends.
It's not easy to pin down exactly what we mean by the word
'personality'. It seems obvious, but it can be hard to put into
words. This can be because the words we use to describe people tend
to have wide meanings – and these meanings often overlap. These
words can also cover more than one kind of experience. For
example, 'shyness' describes the feeling of awkwardness with other
people, but also how we behave by being rather quiet in
It is also difficult because the way we behave - and appear to
other people - can be very different in different situations. You
can know a person well at work, but find that they behave
quite differently in their private life.
In mental health, the word 'personality'
refers to the collection of characteristics or traits that we
have developed as we have grown up and which make each of us an
individual. These include the ways that we:
By our late teens, or early 20s, most of us
have developed our own personality. We have our own ways of
thinking, feeling and behaving. These stay pretty much the same for
the rest of our life. Usually, our personality allows us to get on
reasonably well with other people.
For some of us, this doesn't
happen. For whatever reason, parts of your personality can develop
in ways that make it difficult for you to live with yourself and/or
with other people. You don't seem to be able to learn from the
things that happen to you. You find that you can't change the
bits of your personality (traits) that cause the problems.
These traits, although they are part of who you are, just go on
making life difficult for you - and often for other people as
Other people will often have
noticed these traits from your childhood and early teens. For
example, you may find it difficult to:
If this makes you
then you may have a
personality disorder (see below for descriptions of the different
Life is more difficult if
you have a personality disorder, so you are more likely to have
other mental health problems such as depression or drug and
alcohol problems.
There have been difficulties in clearly defining
personality disorders. Previous research studies have suggested
that up to 1 in 5 people might have a personality disorder.
However, a larger and more rigorous UK study in 2006 suggested
that, at any given time, about 1 in 20 people will have a
personality disorder.
People with a diagnosis
of personality disorder have not, in the past, had enough help from
mental health services. These services have been more focussed on
mental illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and
depression. There have been arguments about whether mental health
services can offer anything useful to people with
personality disorders. Recent research makes it clear that
mental health services can, and should help people with personality
Yes. There is evidence that they tend to improve slowly with
age. Antisocial behaviour and impulsiveness, in particular, seem to
reduce in your 30s and 40s.
It can, however, sometimes work in the opposite direction. For
example, schizotypal personality disorder can develop into the
mental illness 'schizophrenia'.
There are different ways to describe mental
disorders, and to put them into categories. The first step is
to see if there are patterns, or collections of personality traits
that are shared by a number of people. Once these patterns
have been identified, we can start to find effective ways of
Research suggests that personality disorders
tend to fall into three groups, according to their emotional
Cluster A: 'Odd or
Cluster B: 'Dramatic, Emotional, or
Cluster C: 'Anxious and
As you read through the descriptions of each
type, you may well recognise some aspects of your own personality.
This doesn't necessarily mean that you have a personality disorder.
Some of these characteristics may even be helpful in some areas of
your life. If you do have a personality disorder, some of these
traits will be spoiling your life - and often the lives of those
around you.
A person can have the characteristics of more
than one personality disorder.
Cluster A: 'Odd
and Eccentric'
Cluster B:
'Dramatic, Emotional and Erratic'
Antisocial, or Dissocial
Borderline, or Emotionally
Cluster C:
'Anxious and Fearful'
Obsessive-Compulsive (aka
Avoidant (aka
The symptoms and difficulties may not fit exactly into any one
of these categories. You may see aspects of yourself in more than
one category. Professionals, too, may find it hard to give you a
single diagnosis. This is not unusual. It is pretty hard to
describe any personality clearly, and so it can
be difficult to make a clear diagnosis of personality
disorder. It may be more helpful to think of these diagnoses, not
as clear categories, but as exaggerations of normal, overlapping
personality types.
The answer is not clear, but it seems that
like other mental disorders, upbringing, brain problems and genes
can play a part.
Sometimes, but not always, people with
personality disorder have experienced
If children are taken out of this sort of
difficult environment, they are less likely to develop a
personality disorder.
Early problems
Severe aggression, disobedience, and repeated
temper tantrums in childhood.
Brain problems
Some people with antisocial personality
disorder have very slight differences in the structure of their
brains, and in the way some chemicals work in their brains.
However, there is no brain scan or blood test that can
diagnose a personality disorder.
using a lot of drugs or alcohol
problems getting on with your family or
money problems
anxiety, depression or other mental health
important events
stressful situations
loss, such as death of a loved one
With help, many people with personality
disorder can start to lead a normal and fulfilling life. Most can,
at least, cope more effectively with their difficulties.
Treatment for people with personality
disorders can be psychological (talking therapies) and/or physical
The type of therapy or treatments offered depends on:
1. Psychological: talking treatments
or therapies
A number of psychotherapies seem to work well,
particularly for cluster B personality disorders ('Dramatic,
Emotional and Erratic'). They all have a clear structure and idea
of how they work which must be explained to the patient.
Longer-term therapy can last for years, and may have to be more
than once a week. They all involve different ways of talking with a
therapist, but are all different from each other. Some have a clear
structure to them, others are more flexible. They include:
2. Physical: medication
People with personality disorders are more
likely to have another mental health difficulties, like depression and anxiety. Medication is often prescribed to
people with personality disorders to treat these difficulties, for
which it can be very effective.
There has not been much research into whether medication can
help with the symptoms of personality disorder themselves.
Prescribing medication for this purpose is not advised by the
National Institute for Care and Health Excellence (NICE - the
leading medical guidance-producing organisation) and medication
cannot 'cure' a personality disorder. However, many psychiatrists
do prescribe medications to try to reduce individual symptoms.
Antipsychotic drugs (usually at a low dose)
Mood stabilisers
Many people with personality disorder can lead
full lives with support. This can be emotional - somebody to talk
to - or practical - help with sorting bills out or arranging
things. The support can be given by friends and families, self-help
groups and networks, as well as your GP or
mental health team.
You might need such support occasionally, when things get
particularly difficult, or you may need it regularly.
If you have a personality disorder, you may
not need treatment at all - but you might find medication or
talking treatments helpful, and sometimes both.
Admission to hospital usually happens only as
a last resort (e.g. when a person with borderline personality
disorder is harming themselves badly) and for a short time. A lot
of help that was once only offered on hospital wards is now
available in day centres and clinics.
People with a personality disorder, just like
anyone who has mental health difficulties, can be stigmatised
because of their diagnosis. They can attract fear, anger and
disapproval rather than compassion, support and understanding. This
is both unfair and unhelpful. Personality disorder is a real
problem that demands real help. We can all help by being friendly,
supportive and understanding, rather than being judgemental.
You may worry about the effects the
personality disorder is having on them, and perhaps on your life
too. How would they react if you talked to them about it?
If he or she is happy to talk about it, get
some more information. Even if they don't see a problem at the
present time, they may do in the future.
Day-to-day living with someone who has a
personality disorder can be difficult - but it isn't always
difficult. Giving people their own space, listening to and
acknowledging their concerns, and involving others (friends,
relatives and, at times, mental health professionals – nurses,
therapists or doctors) can all be useful. It is also important to
look after your own physical and mental health.

Crystal Turner, 29, of 156 Haleswood Cir. in Goosecreek, S.C., has been charged with child neglect.
Crystal Turner, 29, of 156 Haleswood Cir. in Goosecreek, S.C., has been charged with child neglect.
Employees at the Costco store at 211 W. Blackstock Road reported seeing Turner abuse a small child Sunday.
Statements were also taken from two other witnesses.
Turner was tracked down and returned Thursday to Spartanburg to meet an officer at City Hall, according to another report.
An officer watched surveillance video of the incident, which shows a female yank a child off the floor before pushing him to the concrete face first and taking him inside a restroom, according to a supplemental report. The woman lifted the child above her head and threw him into the metal cart, the report states.
Turner told an officer that she was tired and her son was acting out in the store.
Turner was booked into the Spartanburg County Detention Center on Thursday. She has been released on a $10,000 personal recognizance bond, according to jail staff.

Hump Hard Story
A long time ago, in a little purple shack called Humphrey's Bar & Grill, 4 guys sat down after a hard days work. Their little venture was starting to take off. As they sipped their well deserved beers one of the guys said "we really busted our humps today". The 4 looked at each other and a light bulb went on in their heads. Humphrey's = Hump Hard. Life is Short Hump Hard became the slogan the 4 partners lived by. The Hump Hard T-shirt was born or should we say worn. Over the years numerous new slogans were created and here they are for you.

Let's be honest, winter in St. Augustine has been pretty amazing so far with warm days and plenty to do.
Spring will only add more to our thriving music scene. It's almost time for the Amphitheatre's 2013 season to open with Daryl Hall and John Oates (a.k.a. Hall & Oates) on Friday, March 1.
The musical duo achieved their greatest game in the late '70s and early to mid-'80s with tunes like "Rich Girl," "Kiss on My List," "Private Eyes" and "Maneater."
The Ponte Vedra Concert Hall is gangbusters this month with eight shows.
First up (2/1) is former lead singer of Live, Ed Kowalczyk, on his "I Alone" acoustic tour. Live just happened to be my first concert in 1995 at Western Connecticut State University and during my interview with Kowalczyk, I learned he currently lives in my hometown in the same state and drives a minivan (he has three kids with one on the way). Super nice dude!
Anyway, PVCH will feature singer-guitarist Leon Redbone (2/7), blues guitar mastermind Johnny Winter (2/14) and Dan Zanes and Elizabeth Mitchell with You Are My Flower performing on Saturday, February 16 to benefit the North Florida School of Special Education.
The Concert Hall also will host old-time string band Carolina Chocolate Drops (2/17), Australian fingerstyle guitarist Tommy Emmanuel (2/21), Leo Kottke (2/24) and Canadian nouveau flamenco composer Jesse Cook (2/27).
With new owners - husband and wife Chad Cockayne and Carol Ann Curley - behind the helm, The Original Café 11 adds songwriter David Wilcox (2/10), folkster Peter Mulvey (2/21) and reggae fusion band, The Aggrolites (2/27) to their roster.
And if you're looking for a unique way to celebrate Valentine's Day, then head to The Floridian for a late night show with Gainesville-based indie band Holopaw and Telepathic Lines. The show starts at 10:30 p.m. and admission is $8.
What are you most looking forward to for February's music offerings? Pop me an email and let me know, firstname.lastname@example.com.

Compaq Presario 5000T desktops with the My Movie Studio video editing solution and Logitech Quickcam Pro 3000 cameras will be deployed at these sites. Families will have three minutes for their message, while the general public will be limited to a 30-second message of thanks and support. The military in particular has requested that mail not be sent overseas due to recent security concerns, so this is an excellent alternative for the American public to show their support.
Messages will be edited using Compaq's My Movie Studio, then uploaded at www.givethanksamerica.com, where deployed troops and fire and police personnel will be able to access the messages at any time. Family messages may be sent directly via a provided e-mail address to the family relative who is serving in the armed forces abroad.
The Web solution is being provided by Sorenson Media. Digital Island is providing its streaming media infrastructure. Additional hardware (servers, switches, racks and power supplies) is being provided by Compaq.
Announcement of the national initiative is planned for December 3 or 4 in New York and Washington, D.C., where mayors, military officials, fire fighters and police officers will be the first to record their video messages. Phase I will launch in the other nine cities on December 7 and run through December 9. For further information contact, Victoria Westin at 312.475.5902.

Two players taken in MLS Waiver Draft
New York, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - A pair of second-round draft picks from the Montreal Impact were the only two players selected in the 2013 MLS Waiver Draft as goalkeeper Brad Stuver and midfielder Paolo DelPiccolo each found a new team on Monday.
Stuver was picked fourth by the Columbus Crew after spending last season as a league pool goalkeeper, while DelPiccolo was taken 12th by the New England Revolution.
DelPiccolo was selected with the 27th overall pick by Montreal in last year's SuperDraft, and featured in Reserve League matches for the club without making his MLS debut.
The other 26 players who were not selected by MLS teams are now available to be signed by any club wishing to sign them, while both Columbus and New England drop to the bottom of the selection order for future Waiver Drafts.

Emily Oluoch is on a roll.
The junior Fashion Design major has a 3.9 grade point average, is the recipient of two recent scholarships/fellowships and has been offered her pick of summer internships.
Next year, she'll be the first in her family to graduate with a Bachelor's degree.
"It's going to feel great," she said. "My family is really proud of me. I can't wait to graduate and start my career."
Born in Kenya, one of seven siblings, Oluoch was the first to migrate to the United States to pursue her dream of being a fashion designer. In 2000 she arrived in Baltimore, where she attended Baltimore Community College for Computer Aided Design (CAD). She then moved to Virginia to work for a loan company for several years. The company relocated to Delaware, where Oluoch started a family, eventually moving to Philadelphia to pursue her dream of fashion.
After a short stint at the Art Institute in Philadelphia, Oluoch, a non-traditional aged student, transferred to Moore. The rest, she said, was history.
"Moore is family," she said. "Because I don't have family here, I've met people who I'll keep in my life forever. It's amazing how much people really, sincerely care here. Because of how I push myself, I've really seen myself grow from when I started."
At Honors Convocation last week, Oluoch received the Sis Grenald Travel Fellowship and The Fashion Group International/Libby Haynes Hyman Endowed Scholarship. For her travel fellowship, she plans to visit London to gain experience fusing fashion and sculpture alongside artist Yinka Shinobare.
"This fellowship is going to greatly influence my senior thesis," she said.
Oluoch will also travel to South Africa for her summer internship with design labels David Tlale and Leopard Frock.
Before that, she'll be showing her swimwear and menswear looks at Moore's Spring Fashion Show on May 17, 2014.
Oluoch admits it can be difficult to balance being a full-time student at Moore, working part-time (as a gallery guide and visitor service assistant at the Barnes Foundation), and being a mom to her 5-year-old son, Alexander. But it's all worth it, she said.
"Sometimes I get overwhelmed, but then I look at my son and realize I'm going to be able to provide him with everything he needs one day," she said. "I just want him to grow up into a great man someday."

|Images of Strauss-Kahn's perp walk were condemned in France, where it is illegal to publish such photos before the subject is convicted. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
For decades, Mexican drug smugglers have been devising all kinds of effective methods to penetrate the American coastline. The news anchor seems to think the various government agencies have proven effective at containing the Mexican drug smugglers on land.
Lately - yes, this is a real news story - the smugglers have turned to retrofitting simple Mexican fishing boats with multiple engines to skim across the water so fast you might blink your eyes and miss them.
Apparently, the Coast Guard and other government agencies working in unison, are on watch every night, seeking out the more than several dozen runs by the smugglers all along the California coastline.
This news clip shows how the law enforcement agencies are successful, and arresting all kinds of smugglers, all lined up for The Perp Walk.
Yeah, Middle America is sitting on the couch taking it all in, fidgeting with the remote, when a stellar idea pops into their heads. All that arrest business sure is a lot of unnecessary work. We have a more effective solution of how to deal with these cheesy Mexican smugglers.

It created a series of films called "Chrome Stories", including one that told the story of how the 20-year-old entrepreneur Jamal Edwards launched his youth broadcasting website SB.TV and ended up signing a deal with Sony RCA.
In a statement, BBH said: "Our involvement with this project is coming to an end as Google has decided for operational reasons to embark on the next stage of the Chrome journey with an agency on their doorstep in California. This is end of our work on Chrome but we continue to work with Google on many other projects."

The latest United Nation World Tourism Organisation Barometer indicates that international tourist arrivals to the European Union were up by 2.3% in 2012, compared to 2011 which already benefited from a significant increase (+5.1%).
In 2012 total arrivals to the European Union are estimated at 400.1 million, which means 9.2 million more than in 2011.
Europe as a whole scored 535 international tourist arrivals. By sub-region, Central and Eastern Europe destinations (+8%) experienced the best results, followed by Western Europe (+3%). Destinations in Southern Mediterranean Europe (+2%) consolidated their excellent performance of 2011 and returned in 2012 to their normal growth rates.
At international level, 2012 shows a positive growth in all regions, except Middle East. International tourist arrivals grew by 4% in 2012 to reach 1.035 billion. Growth is expected to continue in 2013 only slightly below the 2012 level (+3% to +4%) and in line with UNWTO long term forecast.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.—Just before the start of Speedweeks, Danica Patrick had a visitor to her motorhome in the infield at Daytona International Speedway.
Carl Edwards brought his daughter, Anne, over to meet Patrick. Anne, who will turn 3 on Sunday, was wearing green GoDaddy shoes and wanted to meet her favorite racecar driver—or her "other" favorite driver.
PHOTOS: Sprint Cup paint schemes | NASCAR's new ride | Daytona 500 crashes
"Carl was saying that it's good that she sees me in real life and in person because he's like, 'to her you are like some mythical creature that doesn't exist,' " Patrick said. "She is a big fan."
Two days later, Patrick won the pole for the Daytona 500, becoming the first female driver to earn the top starting spot for a Sprint Cup race. As she celebrated the historic achievement, she had another visitor. Jeff Gordon brought his 5-year-old daughter, Ella, over to meet Patrick. They posed for a picture together, then with the whole family.
A few minutes later, Jimmie and Chandra Johnson brought their 2-year-old daughter, Genevieve, over to meet her.
As Patrick embarks on her first full Sprint Cup season, three of the biggest names in racing have little girls who were dying to meet NASCAR's fastest rising star. Their daddies may be their heroes, but it is Danica with whom they are infatuated.
"That is very flattering," Patrick said Friday.
NASCAR's biggest stars, from Johnson, Gordon and Edwards to Tony Stewart and Dale Earnhardt Jr., will take the green flag for the 55th Daytona 500 on Sunday.
But none of them will race under a brighter spotlight than Patrick, who has taken the sport by storm since winning the pole for NASCAR's biggest race. Media from around the country and around the world have followed her every move this week, flocking to Daytona Beach to record a piece of history.
It couldn't have come at a better time for NASCAR, which is looking for any push it can get to re-energize a fan base that has become increasingly lackadaisical in recent years.
Since the death of legend Dale Earnhardt in 2001, NASCAR has been starving for a driver who can captivate the masses, appealing to both die-hard fans and attracting new ones.
The sport has longed for a unique, polarizing figure with a colorful personality and the charisma to capture the imagination of old-school fans and attract a new, younger and more diverse audience. Many have tried, but none have developed the expansive, far-reaching appeal NASCAR needs.
That driver may finally have arrived.
Who knew it would be a pretty girl?
The NFL has RG3, the NBA Kobe and LeBron. Golf has Tiger. Now NASCAR has it own star that needs only one name.
Thanks to her supermodel looks and talent behind the wheel, Patrick has been one of NASCAR's most popular drivers since arriving from IndyCar three years ago. But as she begins her first full Sprint Cup season, she just might be the new face of NASCAR, her popularity spreading to Earnhardt-like proportions.
In the past week, Patrick has appeared on CNN, the NBC Nightly News, CBS This Morning and Good Morning America. NPR has done a piece on her and every major news organization is on the grounds at Daytona to cover her historic Daytona 500 start.
That kind of exposure usually is reserved for the winner of the Daytona 500—not the pole winner.
Though Earnhardt Jr. has been the face of the sport for the past 12 years—and still has the sport's largest and most loyal fan base—it is Patrick that now is fueling the NASCAR engine. Talk of her possibly unseating Junior as the sport's most popular driver seemed preposterous a few weeks. Suddenly, it doesn't seem so far-fetched.
NASCAR hoped its new Gen-6 Sprint Cup car would re-energize fans this year. It has, to a certain extent.
But that story now pales in comparison to the attention and anticipation of Patrick's arrival in Sprint Cup.
There already was widespread curiosity about Patrick's first full Cup season, and then two big things happened.
Shortly after filing for divorce from her husband of seven years (a story that made headlines in London), Patrick announced that she has a new boyfriend—fellow Sprint Cup driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr. The mild-mannered, soft-spoken Stenhouse was best known for winning consecutive Nationwide Series championships and occasionally donning a black cowboy hat.
Now he is known as "Danica's boyfriend," or "the other Junior." Since going public with their relationship, Danica has done more for Stenhouse's popularity than anything he could do on the track.
Their budding romance has brought NASCAR unconventional exposure, moving it off the sports pages and into tabloid, TMZ territory, giving the sport a bit of a soap-opera feel. And while that might seem a bit unseemly, NASCAR couldn't ask for better exposure.
Danica's love life was the talk of the town as Speedweeks began. Then she went out and won the pole for the Daytona 500, putting her—and Ricky—in an even brighter spotlight.
Since winning the pole, Patrick has been the focus every time she has taken the track. Media flock to her hauler after practice, she is ushered into the media center at every opportunity and she gets more TV time than any driver. Media are even interviewing media about her. While she garnered this kind of attention when she made her first Cup start at last year's Daytona 500, it has been ramped up tenfold entering this season.
While many fans—and drivers—resent all the attention on Danica, it is having a powerful impact on the sport. For every fan that hates her because of all the attention or because she hasn't proven herself on the track, there are hundreds more who are fascinated with her appeal.
Tony Gibson, Patrick's crew chief, estimates that he has handed out more than 50 souvenir lugnuts with Patrick's No. 10 on them as kids flock to her hauler and her team's garage stall.
"I have handed out more lug nuts to little girls at those little windows in the garage area than I have since I have been (coming) here," Gibson, a 20-year veteran, said. "It's pretty amazing to see the little kids, and the girls especially, walk up with their GoDaddy stuff on and their hats.
"All they want to do is get a glimpse and get a picture and be part of it. … I think that is really cool for our sport, and I think it's going to help our sport grow."
Patrick was in a gym recently when a crewman from another team walked up and showed her a video of his kids holding up a magazine with Danica on the cover.
"They said my name and he said, 'I have no idea how they know who you are,' " Patrick said.
Patrick marvels at the attention and attraction she has for kids.
"I have no idea. I don't get it either," she said. "I don't know where it is coming from. I don't know if it's something that they see on TV that doesn't seem to be so obvious to a parent or if their kids, once they are in school, if it's part of some curriculum. I'm not really sure.
"I think it's an interesting thing, though. It's very flattering and it's a fortunate situation to find myself in. I enjoy being inspirational to these kids. I'd love to know why."
For NASCAR and its sponsors, it doesn't really matter why.
All that matters is that it has a new star—one with a far-reaching attraction that is re-energizing the sport.

When Jack Lipoff completed his service with the Marine Corps in 2011 and returned to Gainesville, he didn't think part of his routine would involve putting Santa Fe College theater students through a daylong boot camp.
When Jack Lipoff completed his service with the Marine Corps in 2011 and returned to Gainesville, he didn't think part of his routine would involve putting Santa Fe College theater students through a daylong boot camp.
Students crawled in mud, learned how to hold a weapon and how to take orders as part of their training for this week's show, "Tales of Honor."
"Within 30 minutes, they were all dead tired," Lipoff says. "Then we pushed them for another three-and-a-half hours. I don't know what they all thought of it, but I think it helped them understand the life of a soldier."
"Tales of Honor," which opened Wednesday and runs through Saturday at the Santa Fe Fine Arts Hall, dives into the lives of soldiers when they enter war. Director Gregg Jones wants the show to expose the audience to the realities of war that go unnoticed when conflicts are only seen through the comfort of a television screen.
Jones began researching subject matter for his show during the summer of 2011, a few months after two students stopped in his office asking for an assignment extension. The students, both soldiers who had returned from Afghanistan, had lived with another veteran who had committed suicide.
"I saw the effect of this event on these young men," he says, "and I realized I didn't really know what it was like to go to war."
According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, 22.7 million veterans lived in the U.S. as of 2010, or less than one percent of the population. The figure includes 1.5 million Floridians, with a little more than 17,500 veterans from Alachua County.
The play, split into separate monologues that chronicle issues like post-traumatic stress disorder and reintegrating into public life, fuses acting with multimedia elements.
In some cases, video footage will stream on the screen as cast members read letters recapping soldiers' experiences.
"Seeing a fire fight from a Marine's helmet tells the story more than what I could recreate on stage," Jones says.
In other cases, Jones invited veterans like Scott Camil to sit in on rehearsals and train his 14-member cast to act like soldiers.
In one practice, Camil, a Vietnam veteran who served between March 1966 and November 1967 as a foreign observer reading maps and compasses to navigate soldiers through the jungles, taught students how to fill sandbags.
Students would push down on the shovels using both hands, Camil says, when soldiers only use one hand. They swing down quickly, lifting up the shovel and tossing the sand into a bag before repeating the process.
At the conclusion of Friday night's show, a seven-person panel will speak with audience members who want to discuss the lasting effects of war. Jones says he knows opinions about combat vary, and he wants to have an open forum for people to talk about their opinions.
The panelists include veterans, post-traumatic stress disorder experts and Camil, who is also president of Veterans for Peace.
"I want people to understand what it's like for a veteran," Camil says. "I hope through watching the play and listening to the discussion, people will see what it's like for a soldier, and a soldier's family, friends and loved ones to deal with the reality of war and see that war lasts forever."

TVF&R train 15 recruits with controlled house fire on Denney Road
You might have noticed heavy smoke in the air Wednesday morning and early afternoon.
Don't worry everything was under control.
Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue crews participated in training exercises between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. during a controlled burn along Southwest Denney Road.
The burn provided an opportunity for new recruits, 15 in this case, to fight a real structural fire.
They get to actually fight fire in a real house for the first time, said Milt Villegas, a TVF&R training captain and the safety officer for the burn. They learn to read smoke, which is an ability to understand what the fire is doing.
Many factors play into whether a structure can be used for a controlled burn exercise, so each opportunity is crucial for learning, he said. The house must be in the right location and meet multiple structural requirements before it can be used in a burn. For this drill, the house was donated by Habitat for Humanity, which plans to begin building on the property by 2016.
The day of firefighting was full of exercises, with training officers setting fire to a room and then having recruits coming in to extinguish it before a new fire was set for different recruits. At any given time, four firefighters were in the house with two additional training officers. At the end of the day, a terminal burn was set, which burned the structure to the ground.
This is a great opportunity for our newest firefighters to experience the deadly heat and toxic smoke of a house fire in a controlled environment," said Matt Laas, a TVF&R training officer. "Although TVF&R firefighters frequently train with live fire in specially designed training props at our Training Center, the opportunity to gain experience on a fire in a real home is invaluable."
Through this experience, new recruits not only learned about fires and how to fight them, they also learned about teamwork.
They go in together and come out together, said Villegas. We want to ingrain that in them.

ATLANTA (AP) — Mike Minor threw six strong innings, Dan Uggla broke it open with a two-run single and the Atlanta Braves denied Gio Gonzalez his 20th win, completing a sweep of the first-place Washington Nationals 5-1 on Sunday night.
Minor (9-10) allowed five hits before turning it over to the bullpen. Cory Gearrin, Luis Avilan and Chad Durbin each worked a scoreless inning to close it out.
The Braves broke a scoreless tie in the third against Gonzalez (19-8) on Chipper Jones' single. Freddie Freeman added a sacrifice fly.
Washington closed to 2-1 on Ian Desmond's RBI single in the sixth, but the Braves pulled away with a three-run seventh, taking advantage of an error by third baseman Ryan Zimmerman. Michael Bourn scored on a groundout and Uggla came through with his two-out hit.
The Nationals' lead in the NL East was reduced to 5? games after the lost weekend in Atlanta. Washington is still in fairly comfortable position with just over two weeks left in the season, but the Braves at least gave themselves a bit of hope in the division race.
More noteworthy, Atlanta's sweep solidified its return to the playoffs after a historic collapse in the final month last season. The Braves maintained a seven-game lead over the second wild-card spot, held by St. Louis, and are eight games up on the next club in the race, the Los Angeles Dodgers. It would take a more epic meltdown than even 2011 to squander that lead with only 15 games to go.
Gonzalez was trying to become the first 20-game winner for the Montreal-Washington franchise since Ross Grimsley in 1978, when the team called Canada home. But the Braves ran up his pitch count by showing patience at the plate, making it difficult for him just to get through the required five innings.
The left-hander struggled to make it to the sixth, but was lifted after Jones led off with a walk and Freeman doubled. Craig Stammen got out of the mess. Uggla popped out, David Ross struck out and Andrelton Simmons ended the threat with a weak grounder to second base.
But the Braves blew it open the next inning, using Bourn's speed and Zimmerman's fielding blunder. Bourn walked with one out, then Reed Johnson hit a chopper to third that bounced off Zimmerman's left arm. The ball deflected a few feet away into foul territory, while Zimmerman looked around desperately, unsure where it was.
He finally spotted it, but not quick enough to get Bourn hustling into third. Sean Burnett came on the face Jason Heyward, who grounded to Adam LaRoche at first base. He stepped on the bag and quickly threw home, but it was a bit up the line, allowing Bourn to slide around the tag. After Jones was walked intentionally and Freeman was hit by a pitch, Uggla drove in two more runs with a single to left.
It began raining midway through the game, and there was a slight delay after the sixth while the grounds crew feverishly worked on the mound and around the bases, smoothing out some dry dirt. The showers passed, and the game went on without any further delays.
Notes: The Braves only had five hits. Washington finished with six. ... Atlanta will travel to Miami on Monday to begin a three-game series with the Marlins. Tim Hudson (14-6) goes against Miami's Wade LeBlanc (2-4). ... Washington is off Monday.

On my way to Barbados over the Christmas holidays.
Only want to bring 2 kites, any recommendations what to bring. 12m I believe is first choice, second choice is between 8m or 17m. Usually the 17m wouldn't be on the list, but since mr El Nino seems to have an effect this year it might be an option.
Usually get going on my surfboard from 13-14 knots on my 12m.
Any comments, all welcome?

Sad Panda Sighting in Lower Manhattan
It appears that this same panda has been spotted in NYC since January, 2009, and has become somewhat of "cause célèbre" in The Gothamist, New York's most popular blog, and various other blogs. They've nicknamed him "Sad Panda." If you click on the Gothamist link you can see more photos of him (or her).
There is even a Youtube of Sad Panda riding the subway! The quality of the video is a little shaky, but I thought it was worth seeing as a humorous "only in New York" moment:
Most bloggers have come to the conclusion that Sad Panda is hoping to collect some tips in exchange for taking a photo of him, or posing with him. Next time I see him I'll make sure I do just that. I'd like Sad Panda to become Happy Panda, and maybe even find a better job someday!
Please visit Beverly at How Sweet The Sound today to see links to many wonderful blogs participating in her weekly "Pink Saturday" event! Thanks Beverly!

I wish I had my camera ready for moments like seeing a big panda on the street, but I just don't think of it until I need it.
Loved the video!

I guess one needs to have a camera at the ready all the time to record special moments. Glad you were able to capture NY's panda. Perhaps this one was on his/her way to panda therapy to improve his/her disposition.

Sad Panda really makes you think, doesn't it? I wonder if Sad Panda is a he or a she. Should we dare to guess a she because of the pink bag?
Happy Pink Saturday, Pat.

How curious. I must say I would much rather "tip" him as give money to someone who is just saying "give me money".
I always find it interesting when there is "panda in the room", or subway, or wherever and most people just act like it isn't there.

You certainly captured a great Pink Sat shot, Pat!!!
Now that Sad Panda is certainly an enterprising little rascal. . . putting tips in that Pink Bag in exchange for a photo! It's better than standing at an intersection with a sad face and a dirty sign that says "need money for food" while smoking a cig! At least the Panda is cute!
Thanks for asking about my Grand Boy. He's doing OK, but now they think he's may have a milk allergy. He's thriving, but very fussy.....but so was his big sister when she was 3 mo. old! :) I hope it's colic. He's a real cutie.
Happy Pink Saturday!

That is such a creative way to "work" when jobs are so difficult to find. We are two professionals, one working, sitting in miserable Vermont racking our brains for an employed escape back south of the mason dixon line!
I'm going to remember him/her as "Hopeful Panda!" because it gives me hope and that gives me happiness.
Happy Pink Saturday!

Sad Panda is cool. But don't you think he/she gets hot inside that costume? Guess it has to carry a bag since there are no pockets in its costume! tee hee Maybe it IS a girl...

So is that why the Panda is sad? Because he doesn't have a "real" job? That is sad.
Sorry I missed commenting on the Bowling Green Park and Angels posts. Your posts can be so engrossing I'll get startled by a ringing phone and forget to go back to finish reading and leave a comment. I guess that's why I shouldn't be blogging while I'm supposed to be working!

Ubisoft's New DRM: Must Be Online To Play
from the yeah-that'll-make-people-like-you-more dept
The latest move, sent in by a whole bunch of you, is to require copies of games to call back home to Ubisoft every time they're used. Yes, you will need to be online, and the game will need to phone home before you can use it. Of course, if Ubisoft actually thinks this is going to hold back those getting unauthorized copies of the game, it's mistaken. The Ars Technica article above quotes one file-sharing gamer:
"This is fine. I only have to access the Internet once to get Ubisoft games. You're the ones paying for a broken copy."

Here's some notes from the key note address given by Kristen Purcell, Associate Director, Pew Internet Project, at the Museums and the Web annual conference in Philadelphia, PA.
If you don't look at anything else about online trends, then look at this. Kristen details trends from 2000 to 2010 based on data collected by the Pew Internet and American Life Project. Note these are primarily US figures but I believe they have resonance for us in Australia.
Some key points for me:
My next post summarises what Kristen thinks these trends mean for museums.

Car News
2012 Toyota RAV4 EV Unveiled
- On sale later this summer starting at $49,800
- From concept to reality in 22 months
- Features Tesla drivetrain
After a nine-year absence, the storied Toyota RAV4 EV is about to hit dealer showrooms again as a completely updated model with 100 miles of all-electric range and performance comparable to a V6. Notably different this time around is the incredible speed with which this generation of the RAV4 EV was turned from concept into production model - 22 months - made possible by the collaboration between start up electric car maker Tesla and Toyota.
For a company that normally counts new car development on the scale of several years, 22 months was a goal that Toyota itself would have found impossible using its traditional methods of vehicle development. But with Tesla's start up culture and ready-made electric drivetrain and batteries, both companies were able to overcome the disparity in corporate cultures and deliver a finished product in record time.
The RAV4 EV - which we first drove a prototype of 12 months ago - features a large enough battery pack to deliver about 100 miles of driving range between full charges. Although it doesn't feature any kind of ultra-fast DC Fast Charging technology, it can charge from empty to full using a specially equipped 240-volt home charging station in about 5-6 hours.
Engineers from both companies had to be creative about where to store the 41.8 kilowatt-hours worth of batteries and left the small crossover with the same 73 cubic foot cargo capacity as the gas powered V6 version. Much of the gas-powered drivetrain has been removed from the vehicle, but the batteries added about 500 lbs of overall weight. Even so, Toyota says the vehicle maintains the same level of driving dynamics and performance that an equivalently equipped V6 offers.
With many aerodynamic enhancements such as modified front fascia, bumpers, mirrors, underbody and spoiler, the RAV4 EV achieves an incredibly slippery 0.30 coefficient of drag - the lowest of any SUV on the market right now. That slipperiness combined with its electric drivetrain offers a virtually silent "zen-like" driving environment that could be especially nice for daily commuters.
Offered only in front-wheel drive configuration, the RAV4 EV will have a starting price of $49,800 and comes fully loaded with back and bottom cushion front seat heaters, as well as a state-of-the-art touchscreen infotainment system with navigation, Bluetooth, voice control, and Toyota's Entune system. Engineers have also built into the car an advanced battery charge gauge and special EV-only features such as eco-driving encouragement and remote charging control through a smartphone.
The car will only be on sale in four major California consumer markets including Sacramento, the San Francisco Bay region, Los Angeles/Orange County, and San Diego. Toyota says they will only build 2,600 of the vehicles over the next three years.
What it means to you: If you live in California, can afford the entrance price, and are lucky enough to get in line before the allotment of 2,600 vehicles runs out, the RAV4 EV offers the functionality of a small SUV with the benefits of an all-electric drivetrain.

The state Ethics Commission today ruled in favor of former Worcester County Sheriff Guy W. Glodis over alleged violations of state ethics laws, deciding evidence in the case failed to prove he released a jail prisoner to a work release program on behalf of a campaign donor.
The ruling in the case follows a two-day evidentiary hearing that was held last November and brings to an end a lengthy ethics investigation that arose over the October 2009 placement of Joseph T. Duggan III on a work release program after a request for the placement was made by his employer, businessman David G. "Duddie" Massad.
In its decision, the commission found that its enforcement division - which brought the allegations - failed to prove that Mr. Glodis, the top official at the Worcester County Jail and House of Correction, knowingly used or attempted to use his position to provide unwarranted privilege to Mr. Duggan or Mr. Massad.
In reaching the decision, the commission found that three jail employees who were involved in recommending and approving Mr. Duggan's release testified that they had not discussed the placement with Mr. Glodis or Special Sheriff Jeffrey Turco, who oversaw day-to-day operation of the jail.
"Based on the evidence in the record, we find that petitioner has not met its burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that Glodis used or attempted to use his official position as sheriff to direct one or more of his subordinates to place Duggan on work release," reads the decision.
"Therefore the Commission determined that there was no evidence that Glodis participated in placing Duggan on work release."
The commission determined the placement.was warranted because the charges Mr. Duggan was sentenced for were non-violent offenses and because of jail over-crowding.
The commission said the placement came after Mr. Duggan was found guilty of larceny and sentenced to 28 months at the jail. At the time Mr. Duggan was the project manager for construction of Mr. Massad's automobile showroom in Auburn and Mr. Massad agreed to pay $18,000 in restitution on Mr. Duggan's behalf.
It also documented a series of telephone calls between Mr. Massad and Mr. Glodis and found that Mr. Massad, a longtime contributor to Mr. Glodis' political campaigns, asked Mr. Glodis to put Mr. Duggan on work release.
Mr. Duggan was placed on work release to work for Mr. Massad the day after reporting to the jail for his sentence.
Mr. Glodis testified he did not recall any telephone conversation with Mr. Massad regarding Mr. Duggan.
Mr. Glodis, in an interview today, said he was pleased with the outcome and glad to see the investigation end, but asserted the allegations stemmed from what he said was excessive media coverage of the case by the Telegram & Gazette.
"I am happy to put it at an end," Mr. Glodis said

Despite preoccupation with the dark clouds of the so-called fiscal cliff and the partisan wrangling of policymakers in Washington, Flagler officials are forecasting sunnier economic skies in the coming year.
Despite preoccupation with the dark clouds of the fiscal cliff and the partisan wrangling of policymakers in Washington, Flagler officials are forecasting sunnier economic skies in the coming year.
While the county's unemployment rate remained at or near the top of the list in the Sunshine State throughout 2012, the jobless rate fell from 13.4 percent in January to 11.4 percent in November.
"This past year we finally saw more positive trends," said Beau Falgout, Palm Coast senior economic development planner. "We're very hopeful where our local economy is going in the next year."
Falgout said the refocusing of economic development efforts — from the city's Prosperity 2021 plan released in 2011 to the creation of the Flagler County Department of Economic Opportunity — has energized the local economy.
"What happened after Enterprise Flagler is we all kind of took on a different role in economic development and I think that was a good thing," Falgout said, referring to the now-defunct public/private economic development agency that was de-funded in late 2011.
"The city focuses on existing businesses with our Business Assistance Center, Small Business Saturday and the Business Expo," he said. "The county has done a good job with the Economic Opportunity Advisory Council and the Tourist Development Council is leading the effort with tourism.
"We all kind of focus on our strengths and hopefully are making a difference and seeing better and better signs that the economy is coming back," he said.
From her post as executive director of the county's economic development department, Helga van Eckert is also seeing those positive signs.
"I think we've made some great strides in preparing the county to be competitive in 2013," she said. "I feel confident that we're going to see continued improvement on the economic development front."
Van Eckert said work accomplished by the county's Economic Opportunity Advisory Council during an all-day retreat in the spring and progress on redesigning the county's economic development website are also positive signs for the future, but more work needs to be done.
"We're still working on our foundation and we're going to continue to do that," she said.
In 2012, new companies announced plans to locate operations in Flagler County, including the first two companies recruited by the Department of Economic Opportunity.
In June, Designs for Health, a Suffield, Conn.-based maker of nutritional supplements, opened an office in the Palm Coast Industrial Park on Hargrove Grade. The company was the first to expand or relocate in Flagler County since the formation of the county economic development department.
At the time of the announcement, company officials said they expected to expand to 15 or 20 employees from the initial eight employees at the facility.
A second company, South Carolina-based W.P. Rawl, announced plans to bring part of its greens and vegetable processing operation to Flagler County. The company is building a 34,000-square foot facility on County Road 105 and will enhance the county's agricultural base, which accounts for $35 million annually in sales, according to the most recent U.S. Department of Agriculture census.
The year just ending also saw more national chains coming to the county, with the opening of Panera Bread and Carrabba's Italian Grill.
One of the brightest spots for Flagler County in 2012 came in tourist development.
Tourism officials unveiled a new three-year strategic plan, hired additional staff and crafted a new logo and moniker for marketing Flagler County to tourists. The "Palm Coast & the Flagler Beaches" logo was unveiled at the Palm Coast Seafood Festival with a 25-ton sand sculpture.
Georgia Turner, vice president for tourism development at the Chamber, said the tourism effort has paid off with the county seeing solid growth.
"We reached $1.5 million in bed tax collections and that's really major for us," she said. In addition to reaching that milestone, Flagler County's bed tax collections have increased for 21 consecutive months through September.
"It was a great year all around," Turner said of the tourism development effort. "We're getting ready to launch a new Hospitality Alliance and that will start in January."
Also in January the TDC will get its first look at a yearlong tourist survey report being compiled by a consultant. Turner said the information will add to the momentum from 2012 and keep tourism development efforts moving forward.
At the Palm Coast Business Assistance Center, area manager Joe Roy already sees things moving in the right direction.
"I do think small businesses are getting a little stronger," Roy said. "There are more people still coming in wanting to open a business."
Roy said while there are no precise statistics, he figures that every new small business that opens creates "probably at least two jobs" which helps grow the local economy.
To help small-business owners, the assistance center launched a Small Business Saturday program in August and Roy said the effort will continue in 2013, with the first event scheduled for Saturday.
"I think in general terms the economy is looking better," he said. "Maybe that will bring consumers back into the market which is going to create some additional jobs."

Because of the success of my Online Lottery Site I decided to start another one, namely Get Online Lotteries. This allows me to target new keywords and hopefully build my online lottery customers. If you're looking at making money in the same way I've listed what I believe to me the best affiliates in this post.
Since then I've decided to start another niche blog. This one is to take advantage not only of people's love of sport but of their love to place a bet on them as well. Like the lottery sites, every time someone joins one of the online sports betting agencies that I represent they become my customer for life. This means that every time they place a wager I get my commission.
To date I've joined two online sports betting agencies.
sportingbet online sports betting agency.
I'll be adding other online sports betting agencies that you can join as I find them. You may want to bookmark this post

The Bell Center, Copper Mountain College
6162 Rotary Way
Joshua Tree, CA 92252
United States
Archaeopalooza: Adventures in Archaeology is a day of public archaeology held at the Bell Center, Copper Mountain College, in Joshua Tree, California. Scheduled for Saturday, October 20th, the event will run from 8 am to 6 pm, and will feature events geared towards all age groups.
The activities will include activities for the kids, such as face painting, archaeologically-themed coloring and games, as well as information geared towards their age group. For older participants the activities will include lectures on archaeological topics and demonstrations of a variety of Native American skills and crafts, such as rabbit stick throwing, atlatl spear throwers, pottery making, and firemaking.
Brian Fagan returns as our keynote speaker, and we will also be having presentations on a variety of other archaeological topics, including a history of atlatls and examples found in the archaeological record, and others. We will be screening two independently produced films. The first, Archaeology from the Ashes, produced by Dr. Teri Brewer, which documents the process of recording archaeological sites that are exposed by wildfires. The second is Buried Stories, produced by Julie Kirkenslager and Emily Wick, which documents the life of Ella Rodriguez, a Native American who was taken from her family at the age of thirteen to an Indian boarding school and who later tirelessy worked as an advocate for archaeological monitoring at construction sites in California.
Organizations involved in the activities include the Hi-Desert Nature Museum, the Copper Mountain College Desert Studies Program, Joshua Tree National Park (Education Division), and the Morongo Basin Historical Society. Other activities include a silent auction of archaeological books signed by the authors, such as Brian Fagan and Julia Costello. Funds generated by the silent auction will go to the non-profit organizations that helped sponsor the event.
