All weather pitch maintenance in Grange BT80 8 is vital to keep the synthetic astroturf performing to its consistent best. On a sand or rubber filled artificial pitch it is important to keep an eye out and make sure that infill's are at their correct compaction and level. Failure to do so could have a negative impact on safety, drainage and playing characteristics. Whether the all-weather pitch be a 2G sand filled or sand dressed or a 3G/4G sand and rubber infill grass facility it's crucial to maintain the correct level of infill to keep the manmade turf at its optimum level of performance. If infill levels are too high or too low it can having a damaging effect on the manmade grass causing them to wear down and reduce the length of the pile height.
For more information on maintaining an all-weather pitch, please contact our team using the enquiry form on this page. We can offer you details on prices for professional upkeep services and let you know the best ways to keep your surfacing in the top condition.
As mentioned before, if infill becomes too compacted in the carpet it can hinder drainage. This particularly happens on second generation all-weather pitches such as sand filled artificial pitches, the reason behind this happening is the use of incorrect or muddy footwear. When players are travelling round the all-weather facility the mud leaves the boot and is then trodden into the manmade turf along with the sand causing it not to be porous and therefore not SuDS compliant meaning water will pool. To correct this it's possible for the all-weather field to undergo a rejuvenation meaning that the existing sand is removed from the artificial carpet and replaced with new clean rounded silica sand.
We always suggest thinking about a maintenance and upkeep servicing plan when you have any type of all weather surfacing construction in Grange http://artificialgrass-syntheticturf.co.uk/all-weather/all-weather-pitch-construction/cookstown/grange/ to ensure you're well prepared to look after the facility. Ways to maintain the quality of 2G astroturf, 3G and 4G artificial astroturf include a regular upkeep package, this would involve weekly or fortnightly visits to the synthetic turf facility. Within these visits the synthetic grass would be machine swept before finished with a drag mat to evenly spread and clean the all weather pitch infill all over the field. To find out more information or to discover budget prices and costs related to maintains all-weather pitches please do not hesitate to contact us.
Synthetic turf maintenance and upkeep is incredibly important in Grange BT80 8 as it prevents the growth of moss and dirt becoming trapped within the artificial grass fibres. Once established this moss will further contribute to contamination through old growth decaying, and the problems of surface contamination and reduced playability are accelerated. It's a duty of care for the keeper of the artificial surface to regularly maintain the pitch with a drag brush to ensure the sand or rubber infill is working correctly and the surface is suitable for play.
Before having an astro surface installed and maintained in your surrounding area, it's vital that you ensure you're purchasing the product from a trusted supplier and it's then installed by a specialist astroturf surfacing company. There are many fitters across the UK who do not sell the best quality manmade grass yet claim that their turf is real looking and superior to others. It's vital that before you purchase the carpet that it meets all the desired specifications and is UV stabilised meeting all the accreditations of the governing body. As astroturf can be used for all kinds of facilities including MUGA courts, garden lawns and athletics running tracks http://artificialgrass-syntheticturf.co.uk/other/needlepunch-athletics-track-surfacing/cookstown/grange/ the characteristics can vary so it's important to choose the right design.

Not true! When I'm home, I live for comfort. When I walk through the door, I go straight to the bedroom to change into my "comfies."

Not true! When I'm home, I live for comfort. When I walk through the door, I go straight to the bedroom to change into my "comfies."

This bring up a really big debate in my head. I'm like you, when I get home I want to be comfy. Jeans (albeit repro usually), slippers, and often a t-shirt/tank top (though when it's cold a sweater), no makeup. 50/50 chance my hair has been set. I like being comfy, but for me I don't really like what I see when I dress like this. Why do I think this is so much more comfy than at least throwing on a blouse and cardigan, or a plain skirt? I have no idea. Even in casual vintage I feel so better about myself, yet I still can't seem to bring myself to dress a little nicer on my days at home. Which is terrible as I work from home at least 3 days a week!
I'd love to resolve to be a little cuter and vintage but still comfy at home... something I've been thinking about a lot over the last few months!RepliesI was just thinking of this yesterday. I love to wear vintage and I even have some cutesy nightgowns, but the inbetween time from when I get home from work until I get a nightgown/robe on, I have nothing. I want to be comfortable, but cute and I have chores to do (cooking, cleaning, etc). I would hate to get my nicer things dirty and vintage aprons are so thin. I also like to sit in non skirt friendly ways on the couch snuggled watching movies or whatnot. So Tasha, if you come up with some cute comfy alternatives, I'd be interested
DeleteYou guys, the answer is the humble housecoat! There are some awesome vintage pattern styles out there. Real 50s people had to relax without sweatpants, so the wasitless housecoat (that can be belted for a trip to the corner store) was the answer. I love mine!
DeletePearl, I have had a few house coat patterns on my favorites list! And may have to figure out a way to make one cute but winter-appropriate for my cold winter climate... can one wear a cardigan over a house coat? Hmm. ;)
I feel like my inability (erm unwillingness) to wear heels for long always moderns up my look since I end up wearing flat knee high boots or vintage brogues with everything. It toughens the girly,and lets me walk without whining. But I'd say mostly my silhouette is vintage inspired, my fabrics are usually more whimsy or kitsch-based which is what it is.
ReplyDeleteI do vintage, mostly at work. Sheath dresses, pencil skirts and cardigans, color-blocked 60's retro dresses and polka dots are my staples. Most are RTW clothing that I bought because of their vintage appeal and some are clothing I made. Unfortunately, my workplace doesn't allow things that, for me, would complete my desired look, IE dyed hair, piercings, tattoos, jeans and the likes. I do modernize the look with flats, booties and other modern shoes.
When I am at home, I don't walk, I RUN to put on my jammies or, my favorite at-home oufit: a pair of jeans with my grandpa's oversized sky-blue wool cardigan. In my head, vintage aesthetics don't go with "comfort" and casual. It's all about dressing up! That's why I do it at work.- StephanieNovember 29, 2012 at 1:24 PM
For the record, I think the hair color is both flattering and fun.
ReplyDelete I can't stand the feel of jeans and 'sweatpants' so I don't wear them ever. For my 'vintage' casual I get inspiration from old images of ordinary people at leisure (not the glamourous stars). Basically casual shirts, A line skirts, high waisted trousers and cardigans. Oh and a beret to cover up those bad hair days. Vintage for me isn't a 'costume' or something for best. Its just the way I dress that has suddenly got a label. I've always dressed vintage, it used to be called secondhand. lol!
p.s. Am I the only person who doesn't change when I get home from work?RepliesYou are not!! I rarely change (and can't stand sweatpants either.) My work is business casual, and we can wear nice jeans. I've made a personal rule to not wear tshirts alone or sneakers. A good quality fabric t, with a jacket/cardi/3rd-piece-of-some-kind with upscale jeans and a slip on leather shoe + accessories is a nice look. I prefer a more elegant trouser, and skirts, but this time of year the skirts are COLD, and really nice wool trousers get muddy. (I walk about a mile to work.)
DeleteWhen its cold I take a nod from history. Wooly tights, boots heavy chord skirt down to my ankles. The colder it is the more 'petticoats' I add under the skirt.
DeleteI don't change clothes when i get home either. I like what I pick out in the morning and I hate changing clothes so an apron comes on to cook dinner in and sometimes slippers or Keds replace my shoes but that's it.
When I dress "comfy" I feel sloppy and lazy so comfort for me has to be stylish (my version of stylish, that is).
Gertie, I thought your hair was gorgeous with the pink ends, but your hair is FABULOUS all pink! I love it! I used to dye my hair all kinds of different colors, and I had such a good time doing it. Now I'm a mom, and I have long hair, and I feel like I can't do it anymore because I'm old (I'm actually not even remotely close to being old; I just feel that way because I have three kids). Uh oh, I feel some hair dying compulsion stirring. I really need to do something with this hair. :)
I have something I want to ask you ladies who wear a lot of vintage or vintage style clothing. How did it feel when you started wearing it? Like, did it just fit easily into your style? I love love love vintage clothes, but I just feel like I look silly wearing them. I've never thought someone wearing vintage clothes looked silly. They always look glamorous. But I feel like I look like a poser. It sounds ridiculous, but I have a hard time getting over it. I really want to feel confident and gorgeous when wearing the clothes I make. Anyone else have this problem, or am I just a weirdo?RepliesI used to feel that way at first. There are a lot of Rockabilly-girls in the town where I live, and I felt the same way at first. I felt like I hadn't put enough effort into my styling compared to these people with their perfect hairdos and make-up. But I don't really want to do that kind of retro clothing, I like the day wear of normal people more than I like the glamorous hollywood-girls. That style is not what I am after, and I find that nobody compares me with rockabillys either. I always get a lot of compliments when I go all the way with circle skirt dresses, nylons and red lipstick, and after trying it out for a while, wearing modern clothing makes me feel more dorky.
DeleteThis. There's so many styles/era's I just LOVE and would wear in a heartbeat, but they just seem to feel like a costume---not the look or feel I'm going for. Why? Because I'm pretty active/messy at my non-office job, so no fit there and at home I'm ready to kick of my boots and relax.
I finally realized that I wasn't going to look like an elegant 30's star, 40's swing-time girl, 50s rockabilly Queen, MadMen's Joanie or a 70's Boho goddess... so I re-assessed what I thought about what I could really live in: dressing like Laverne DiFazio!! Late 50's to mid 60's shirtwaisters, pencil skirt/blouse/sweater, some pegged capris for summer... all minus the "L"! And jeans are Okay. Yeah, they're modern (I'll make some someday), but I wear basic styles (nothing flashy, no gitter or 'whiskers') and can mix up hi-waist or cuff them or whatever, toss on a cute shirt and plenty of wool (hat, sweater, sox) this time of year and GO. I'm not a make up kind of woman, but I try to be sure to add some bijoux to compliment the duds.
This ties into previous conversations about sewing frosting vs cake, and I LIVE in cake (and old black punk shirts--I swear I'm the 17th Ramone!). Try adding vintage a bit at a time if you're super intimidated; you don't need to go full on all at once. Let your style evolve and it will Become You!
I like to wear my vintage collection, usually as an event. As a mom, I mostly hang out in jeans and Ts. In the summer I made a concerted effort to wear more skirts and found that, like anything else, the more you do it the easier it gets. (Sadly, with the cooler weather I am back to jeans and a sweater as I can NOT tolerate being the least bit cold.) Beckah (above) you don't look like a poser, you look glamorous like the other vintage gals, so tell your inner voice to back off, on this she is simply dead wrong. ;) k.
ReplyDeleteOn workdays in the office when it's cold or on Mondays :), I usually wear a little vintage cardigan or a plaid campshirt and high waisted (Freddie's of Pinewood) jeans. This makes me at least feel warm, laid back and still vintage-girly. I have to admit, on lazy at home days,(weekends) I now wear 40's or 50's cotton dusters (I know I'm getting grandma-ish here, but hopefully in a good way. This solves my personal dilemma about not feeling quite myself as when I wear PJ pants or sweats that are "newer" garments.
Ps. You look absolutely darling with pink hair! I've been reading about it all week,inspired you took the leap!- Jennifer SNovember 29, 2012 at 2:49 PM
I love your hair. I have a co-worker who just went from bright pink to blue, and apparently one of the guys waited just about two days to ask her "why so blue?". He was just giddy with excitement to ask her that in front of a group of people. She's one of the happiest people I know, and takes all of that kind of teasing fabulously. She's also hit on by every six year old girl in her vicinity because she's working on a tatoo sleeve that's all Hello Kitty. It's hilarious.
I dress up in mostly handmade dressses or dress pants and handmade blouses with a cardigan (I'm Canadian, we HAVE to layer) for work, but when I get home, it's usually pj pants or yoga pants for me nowdays. Part of that is because I've gained some weight and none of my jeans are as comfy as they should be. Must work on that. My big complaint with yoga pants/sweats nowadays is that none of them have any elastic in the waistband anymore and they're constantly sliding off my behind if I'm doing anything remotely related to exercise - including vacuuming the house. But I can't buy them any smaller either. I was going to write something but Laura up top there wrote basically EXACTLY what I was about to write. After you did your tips pink, I actually posted on fb that I was considering doing the same, but with black. (You know, more subtle.) And I got bunches of comments about how I should just keep my natural red color. Even one comment about enjoying natural now and going crazy when my "beautiful" natural color color is gone and I'm old and gray, which was fun. =) Also, I love the vintage look but have often hesitated in terms of finding a more "cohesive" wardrobe, because I also love me some jeans! It's like you can read my mind. )
ReplyDeleteI love, love, LOOOOVE your hair!! I have made it a year (almost!) without touching my natural blonde but you've got me thinking I should do a pastel "Strawberry Milk" pink!
As far as Vintage dressing goes, I adore wearing all vintage (or repro) for special events, but on a day to day basis, I like to mix the looks together! I have found that my punk/rockabilly tees look smashing with a sweet little circle skirt, and wearing jeans with a little cardigan & head scarf adds a "vintage" feel without losing the comfy/casual feel. P.S, if you ever get back to thinking about that swimsuit pattern, I am all up on it, girl!I tend to do vintage style at work too...more the glam look like you do, it just suits me and they to me are forever classic clothes...I do casual by wearing skinny leg jeans or the high rise with a cute blouse and cardigan...
I could imagine that you get that pressure though to have to look the part while out in the public eye. I guess that could be good and bad for you..but just think of the empire you are building for yourself!What a great post! This is something that has really been bothering me, thinking about all the good-looking gals out there, do they have time everyday to set the hair and do the makeup before work? When I wake up, all I want to do is get to work, but always with mascara... I dress up for concerts and such, but I would love to wear a more vintage-inspired (self-made) wardrobe on a daily basis. However, I'm still perfecting my skirts and haven't started on trousers, and working as a PhD Candidate in a biochemistry lab doesn't really appeal for the best dresses. Also, I would probably get a strange look. I love to wear dresses, normally with a cardigan, but it's difficult to feel dressed-down enough and matching it with lab-friendly shoes.
So I guess the conclusion is that I normally wear clothes that have a retro touch, but I have a lot of basics from H&M...- LandgirlNovember 29, 2012 at 5:01 PM
Most days I am of the 'mixing' persuasion than either straight vintage or a modern look. Jeans and me fell out, and after wearing virtually nothing but jeans or trousers for years I am glad to be free of them. I have found a new love in the humble skirt - I am currently to be found wearing either a boiled wool pencil skirt in a bright shade, or a jersey pleated number or a floaty plise. Plus wool tights, shorty cardigans and a warm over coat it's fine for winter. My true vintage dresses etc are worn to parties or in summer. Hope to run up something warm and lovely like this turquoise number Gertie. At home I favour mostly winciette, what else!
ReplyDelete Gertie. We need to talk. Do you *not* know that I have put your book on my Christmas/birthday list? Why do you feel the need to tease me with pictures of patterns that I clearly need *right now*?
Printing a picture of a *turquoise courderoy jumper* when I have a stack of *turquoise courderoy* in my stash - and have had, for over a year, specifically intended to be sewn up into a jumper...
This is getting unfair.
But seriously - you look amazing and never fail to inspire me!!! Thank you. :)- MargreteNovember 29, 2012 at 6:52 PM
Thanks for this post, Gertie!
I have been thinking about it a lot lately. I feel people around get me spoiled easily. Most people here, whether coworkers or other people I meet, don't make much of an effort. At the same time, because I do, they've come to expect fabulousness from me every day. Personally, I like to rock different looks in my everyday life; I love wearing dresses and skirts, but I also like my high waisted pants, and, occasionally, denim pants (usually high waisted too). I always style my hair one way or another and do my make up, wear a nice top + maybe some accessories and heels. But if I wear denim I often get negative remarks! Mostly this is comical, as it will come from a person (male or female) who wears the same jeans and fleece jacket every day. I must admit I find it a little annoying too, plus that it makes me wonder "can I go out dressed like this?", as I can predict the responses. But, I try to think that it's because they really enjoy my style and appreciate the effort so much, even if I think they should keep their disappointment to themselves. :)
Anyways, I absolutely love you hair! In my own house I live in Yoga pants and tight fitting tank tops. On the weekends for casual slumming around I'll wear jeans and knee high boots with sweaters and funky hair accessories. But when I go out, that's when my glam vintage girl comes out. I wear the full pinup ensemble, funky dresses is off-the-wall prints (that I make too!), high heeled pumps, back seam stockings and pin up red lipstick!
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU! I do sometimes feel like if I want to be one of "those" vintage gals that I have to dress vintage all the time... but I love leather jackets.... and skinny jeans.... and ridiculously tall platform pumps..... Not to mention I'm a college student on not-so-friendly-to-buying-vintage budget and I just started wearing these sorts of things this summer.
So I've decided..... I just wear what I want. Some days I want to do the whole deal, hat, gloves, dress, etc. Other days I wake up late and have a test, and I just can't deal with all of it and throw on a blouse and skinnies.
I've just decided to be who I be, even though that doesn't fit a "niche".I love your hair, it looks kick arse! I'm slowly transitioning my wardrobe from modern to more vintage but I find that went I do go "full vintage pin up" its more attention grabbing. When I dress in what's considered "normal/modern" I'm looked at strangely like, "Well why aren't you wearing you vintage stuff today?" Eh rock whatever rocks your socks off I say. I'm finding my tastes don't really completely go with vintage or modern definitions anyways hehe. --Side note I just got your book in the mail and I'm completely floored at how awesome you are and terrified! I'm a complete sewing newbie but lets hope by this time next year I'll be at least a pinch as good as you are.
ReplyDeleteYour hair is super awesome and I'm super jealous!!! I've always wanted to dye my hair wild and crazy colors, but I come from a super conservative household. (Super bummer!) I think your hair matches wonderfully with your bright pink personality. You really are brave and courageous, and I really look up to you for those specific reasons. I would LOVE to be able to dye my hair electric blue, but societal constraints say NO especially because I'm trying to pursue a career in health professions...which is a SUPER NO! Its like those people have zero souls and creativity...

I think about it too much. While I might throw on a pair of jeans to rush across to the shops I just don't feel *right*. When I am in vintage I feel myself. If that makes any sense at all.
ReplyDelete Reading through the comments, I feel like I might be in the serious minority here, but I don't have any problem whatsoever mixing it up -- I love a pair of modern, RTW skinny jeans with an awesome vintage top and jewelry. I frequently clean the house or just sit around in modern straight-leg jeans and a plaid shirt with roll-up sleeves that my gramma wore when she cleaned the house 40 years ago (she had an apron on, of course). One of my very most favorite work-appropriate outfits consists of a great high-waisted wool skirt from the 40s that was my grammas with seamed stockings, adorable repro shoes (http://www.remixvintageshoes.com/twinstrap.html) and a bateau-neck top from J.Crew. My go-to comfy cold-weather "vintage mix" outfit is a pair of deadstock WWII navy pants and a J.Peterman Nantucket sweater, hair in combs, bright red lipstick.
If I'm doin' it wrong, I don't wanna be right.
I have been dressing like that for probably a decade now and never really thought that much about it until today... it's not unlike the house we're renovating now, which we keep using the mnatra "modern convenience but keeping with the original/vintage sensibilities." As in, save the original woodwork but for God's sake, don't make me cook in a 1928 kitchen. I guess I feel the same way about my clothes. I love vintage clothes and vintage styling, but please don't take away my petite's section at Nordstrom...RepliesI've always mixed it up, too. Pre-kids, I wore a lot of real vintage with contemporary ready to wear. I often went out in '40s rayon dresses and '50s sundresses. I had a bunch of fabulous '50s skirts circle skirts - a Mexican skirt with sequins; a navy velveteen circle skirt with gold appliquéd paisleys, and a black "raffia" skirt were my particular favorites - which I wore with modern tops and sweaters. I'd throw a beaded cardigan over a contemporary LBD, and I have a couple of early '60s opera coats that go beautifully over any number of dresses, vintage and modern. And I have a collection of great vintage bags looked good with anything.
With two littles, I'm more cautious about wearing the real deal, but I still love mixing it up.
I love vintage, and I mix vintage and modern for work(I'm a teacher) and dress, but I wear jeans and sweatpants at home during the fall and winter, and shorts and tees in the summer. Vintage clothing is so elegant and classy.I have had housecoats and my mom still calls bathrobes housecoats, and they are great around the house. I love your dress! It fits you so well, and looks great with your hair. I love your hair, but I can't pull something like that off as a high school teacher.

You look so fabulous! Once upon a time I rocked the pink hair and found that mixing some of the dye with a deep conditioner once a week helped keep the color vibrant.
If you decide to go back to brunette anytime soon - I like the henna dyes from Lush. They aren't filled with chemicals so you can give your hair a chance to relax a bit. I really like your hair. Play around and have fun with it! I had mine hot pink for a few months and changed it now to be more subtle (ahem).
My hair is now cotton-candy-coloured on top, then changes to magenta, and then to being almost purple at the tips.
My point is … candy-coloured hair can be a lot of fun. And as the colour is only semi-permanent there is a lot of room for playing :)- AnonymousDecember 2, 2012 at 1:10 PM
I try to always dress "put together" whether it's in a smashing dress or jeans and a tee because it makes me feel like me life is also "put together"
ReplyDelete your hair is uh. maz. ing. I am plus size so I usually have to wear "vintage inspired" but I like to mix and match. I especially like to wear a vintage brooch on a vintage cardigan with a modern button up and skirt. I also have a few outfits that fit the 70s punk look too. I suppose I just dress to my mood!
ReplyDeleteA few weeks ago, I went to the fabric store I frequent in a hoodie and jeans..yesterday I returned in my typical vintage wear, and the sales girl announced "PHEW! You look like you again! I almost didn't recognize you last time you were in." Guess that means I can go incognito so long as I dress in sweats ;)
ReplyDelete- Vintage VixenDecember 28, 2012 at 10:21 AM
I change clothes after work becuase I'm usually about to tacle a sewing project and want to be able to do my work with relative ease. My true vintage pieces are treasured and are taken care of with a very delicate hand, so getting out of them when returning home from work is more about preservation than anything else. A typical outfit to sew or knock about in is capris or high waisted jeans and a vintage cardigan or a cute cotton blouse paired with Keds or flats. Serious lounging at home calls for yoga clothes! Hot summer days you will always catch me in a cotton dress no matter what becuase it is SCORCHING here in Texas. I found a super cute vintage pattern for a 40's summertime dress that included pieces to make a little bolero to go over your dress which is perfect for the office. It's cool and comfy and covers all the tatts nicely - a win-win in my book. All I do when leaving the office to meet friends (or just to go home a veg) is ditch the bolero and voila - instant casual cuteness!

For 19 long years, the prizefighter was locked in a prison cell far away from the spotlight and the adulation of the boxing ring. But when he at last won his biggest fight — for exoneration — he betrayed little bitterness. Instead, Carter dedicated much of his remaining life to helping other prisoners and exposing other injustices.
The middleweight title contender, whose murder convictions became an international symbol of racial injustice and inspired a Bob Dylan song and a Hollywood film, died Sunday. He was 76.
The New Jersey native, who had suffered from prostate cancer, died in his sleep at his home in Toronto, said John Artis, his former co-defendant and longtime friend and caregiver.
Carter "didn't have any bitterness or anger — he kind of got above it all. That was his great strength," said Thom Kidrin, who became friends with Carter after visiting him several times in prison.
The boxer, a former petty criminal, became an undersized 160-pound contender and earned his nickname largely on his ferocity and punching power.
Although never a world champion, Carter went 27-12-1 with 19 knockouts, memorably stopping two-division champ Emile Griffith in the first round in 1963. He also fought for a middleweight title in 1964, losing a unanimous decision to Joey Giardello.
But his boxing career came to an abrupt end when he was imprisoned for three 1966 murders committed at a tavern in Paterson, N.J. He was convicted in 1967 and again in 1976 before being freed in 1985, when his convictions were thrown out after years of appeals. He then became a prominent public advocate for the wrongfully convicted from his new home in Canada.
His ordeal and its racial overtones were publicized in Dylan's 1975 song "Hurricane," several books and a 1999 film starring Denzel Washington, who received an Academy Award nomination for his portrayal.
In a statement issued Sunday, Washington praised Carter's "tireless fight to ensure justice for all."
Carter and Artis had been driving around Carter's hometown on the night that three white people were shot by two black men at the Lafayette Bar and Grill. They were convicted by an all-white jury largely on the testimony of two thieves who later recanted their stories.
Carter was granted a new trial and briefly freed in 1976, but he was sent back for nine more years after being convicted in a second trial.
"I wouldn't give up," Carter said in an interview in 2011 on PBS. "No matter that they sentenced me to three life terms in prison. I wouldn't give up. Just because a jury of 12 misinformed people ... found me guilty did not make me guilty. And because I was not guilty, I refused to act like a guilty person."
Dylan, a boxing aficionado, became aware of Carter's plight after reading the fighter's autobiography. He met Carter and co-wrote "Hurricane," which he performed on his Rolling Thunder Revue tour in 1975. The song concludes: "That's the story of the Hurricane/But it won't be over till they clear his name/And give him back the time he's done/Put him in a prison cell but one time he could-a been/The champion of the world."
Muhammad Ali and Coretta Scott King spoke out on Carter's behalf. Other celebrities also worked toward his release, joined by a network of friends and volunteers.
Carter eventually won his freedom from U.S. District Judge H. Lee Sarokin, who wrote that the boxer's prosecution had been "predicated upon an appeal to racism rather than reason, and concealment rather than disclosure."
Born on May 6, 1937, into a family of seven children, Carter struggled with a hereditary speech impediment and was sent to a juvenile reform center at 12 after an assault. He escaped and joined the Army in 1954 and learned to box while in West Germany.
After returning home, he committed a series of muggings and spent four years in various state prisons. Upon his release, he began his pro boxing career, winning 20 of his first 24 fights mostly by knockout.
At 5-foot-8, Carter was fairly short for a middleweight, but he was aggressive and threw waves of punches. His shaved head and menacing glower gave him an imposing ring presence but also contributed to a forbidding aura outside the ring. He was quoted as joking about killing police officers in a 1964 story in the Saturday Evening Post, which was later cited by Carter as a cause of his troubles with law enforcement.
Carter boxed regularly on television at Madison Square Garden and overseas in London, Paris and Johannesburg. Although his career appeared to be on a downswing before he was implicated in the murders, the 29-year-old fighter was hoping for a second middleweight title shot.
Carter defied his prison guards from the first day of his incarceration and spent time in solitary confinement because of it.
"When I walked into prison, I refused to wear their stripes," Carter said. "I refused to eat their food. I refused to work their jobs, and I would have refused to breathe the prison's air if I could have done so."
Carter eventually wrote and spoke eloquently about his plight, publishing his autobiography, "The Sixteenth Round," in 1974. Benefit concerts were held for his legal defense featuring Dylan, Joni Mitchell and Roberta Flack.
Although many of his celebrity friends abandoned the cause after his second conviction and an allegation of assault during his brief release, other advocates worked tirelessly on his behalf, culminating in Sarokin's ruling and two subsequent failed prosecutorial appeals to have the convictions reinstated. Each year on the anniversary Sarokin's decision, Carter called the judge to thank him.
After his release, Carter moved to Toronto, where he served as the executive director of the Association in Defence of the Wrongly Convicted from 1993 to 2005. He received two honorary doctorates for his work.
Canadian director Norman Jewison made Carter's story into a biographical film. Washington worked closely with Carter to capture the boxer's transformation and redemption.
"He's all love," Washington said while onstage with Carter at the 2000 ceremony where he won a Golden Globe. "He lost about 7,300 days of his life, and he's love."
The makers of "The Hurricane," however, were widely criticized for factual inaccuracies and glossing over other parts of Carter's story, including his criminal past and a reputation for a violent temper. Giardello sued the film's producers for its depiction of a racist fix in his victory over Carter, who had long acknowledged that Giardello deserved the win.
Artis said Carter will be cremated and didn't want a funeral or any memorial. Artis has been taking care of him since 2011.
"He was a champion of the underdog," he said. "He was like the David against the Goliath of the justice system."
Kidrin spoke with Carter on Wednesday.
"He said, 'You know, look, death's coming. I'm ready for it. But it's really going to have to take me because I'm positive to the end.'"

3 egg whites (about 90 gram)
40 gram granulated sugar
200 gram powdered sugar
110 gram almond meal
a few drop of violet coloring
1 tsp Vanilla Fleur De Sel
Some nutella for filling
1. For the whites: the day before (24hrs), separate your eggs and store the whites at room temperature in a covered container. If you want to use 48hrs (or more) egg whites, you can store them in the fridge.
2. In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the egg whites to foam; gradually add the sugar and coloring until you obtain a glossy meringue. Do not over beat your meringue or it will be too dry.
3. Combine the almonds, powdered sugar in a food processor and give them a good pulse until the nuts are finely ground. Pass through a sieve. Add them to the meringue, give it a quick fold to break some of the air and then fold carefully until you obtain a batter that flows like magma or a thick ribbon.
4. The whole process should not take more than 50 strokes. Test a small amount on a plate: if the tops flatten on its own you are good to go. If there is a small beak, give the batter a couple of turns.
5. Fill a pastry bag fitted with a plain tip (I used Wilton tip 12) with the batter and pipe small rounds (1.5 inches in diameter) onto parchment paper lined baking sheets. Sprinkle some Vanilla Fleur De sel on top of the macarons. Let the macarons sit out for 30 minutes to an hour to harden their shells a bit.
6. Preheat the oven to 300 degree F and bake for 15-20 minutes, depending on their size. Let cool completely before sandwich it with some nutella.

Organic EDEN Short Grain Brown Rice is Lundberg family, California organically grown. There is no better brown rice. Short grain brown rice is the sweetest of all rice varieties with full-flavor. It is soft and chewy after cooking. It can be boiled, pressure cooked, baked, or steamed for a nutritious entrée by itself or combined with other whole grains, nuts, seeds, dried fruit, fresh or dried vegetables, or beans. It is especially suitable for brown rice sushi, rice balls, puddings, croquettes and burgers, salads, paella, and creamy risotto. 100% whole grain and gluten free.
Nutrition Facts
Cultivated in Asia since al least 7,500 BC, rice Oryza sativa is a staple for six out of every ten of Earth's people. The health and nutritional benefits of brown rice are now recognized by scientists, medical practitioners, and nutritionist worldwide. These benefits are primarily due to its intact bran and germ layers providing the beneficial fiber and B vitamins. In healthy diets brown rice builds energy, nourishes blood, and promotes good digestion.
USDA Human Nutrition Research Center at Tufts University say, "Whole grain regulates blood sugar by slowing down the conversion of complex carbohydrates to sugar. In fact, low-glycemic index food such as whole grain reduces hunger and can help to control weight." Agriculture Research Service completed a study of more than 2,000 people concluding, "at least three or more servings of whole grain everyday could reduce the chances of developing metabolic syndrome - a condition marked by a combination of abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, poor blood sugar control, low HDL 'good' cholesterol and high blood fats."
According to FDA, "Diets rich in whole grain and other plant foods and low in total fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease and some cancers." EDEN Brown Rice is low in total fat, free of saturated fat and cholesterol.

Urban school reform in the United States is characterized by contentious, politicized debate. This course explores a set of critical issues in the education and educational reform space, with a focus on aspects of the field that have sparked controversy and polarized views. We will dig into these debates, situating them within the larger history of public education and school reform, and considering the viewpoints, the evidence, and translation of issues into educational policy. We will consider three broad topics in this course: 1. Federal Strategies in School Reform: How has the federal government legislated and incented public school reform? 2. School Choice: How does school choice aim to improve schools? 3. Accountability: What is the history of accountability in American public schooling? What are the policies and practices associated with accountability? Learning Goals This course will enable participants to: 1. develop an informed historical perspective about public schooling in the United States; 2. understand the unique contextual elements of the American approach to public schooling; 3. analyze and assess divergent viewpoints about American public school history and school reform policy. Teachers may be able to receive continuing education credit for successful completion of this course. To earn continuing education credits students must purchase and earn the Course Certificate, which they can then submit to the credit-issuing agency in their state. Students should also fill out the requisite paperwork stating that the affiliated provider is the Graham School at the University of Chicago, and that average time for certificate-level course completion is 18 hours. Students outside of Illinois should contact their state's accreditation board to determine whether this course is eligible for continuing education credit. Note that it is up to the schools or districts that employ teachers to decide whether this course meet their requirements.
From the Chicago School of Economics to pioneering social service scholarship in the U.S., the University of Chicago is renowned for putting forth ideas that change the way we live and think.

Find many different types of business resources to start your cosmetic business.
There are many different types of business resources available when starting your cosmetic business . You may decide in the help of a cosmetic consultant. They can help develop a cosmetic business plan from start to finish involving different tools, techniques and stages and especially if you are a small start up cosmetic business looking for financing. Investors and lenders are always interested in learning about your vision and how you will reach your business goals. If you are not using a cosmetic consultant you can check with trade associations for ideas and information on how to develop relationships with wholesale suppliers.

CREATE NOWGet Free Consultation with Cosmetic Marketing Expert. Whether you are starting up or have an established brand, we'll help take your business to the next level and achieve the goals that may now feel out of reach. We take the time to get to know our clients and understand their brand so that we can carefully guide their journey. We have years' experience in cosmetics. Let's get started!
Entering the Cosmetic Business is possible if you understand how it works and you establish clear goals.
The Cosmetic Business is divided up into several general areas:
Please read along about the first steps in $keyword, or you can directly browse the information categories in the top menu.
These products can be produced for you by companies that specialize in one or several of these areas. If you want a line of products with your label on the package you have two potential directions: Private Label and Contract Filler.
If your quantities are really small, you might even want to consider making your own blends and filling your own bottles. It all depends on what quantity of each product you want and how "custom" the products need to be. Generally, if the quantity is small and you are willing to accept the product types and packaging that already exists - your choice would be a Private Label house. The Private Label company maintains a ready supply of components and finished goods. By using different variations and combinations, and applying your custom labeling or decoration, you can usually find a satisfactory "custom" look.
Once your quantity requirements get larger (several thousand per item) a Contract Filler might be a better choice. You become responsible for providing the packaging components, labels, etc., and the Filler makes the formula and fills your components. What you get is a truly custom product from formula to packaging, but a lot more depends on you.
In both cases, selling products under your name makes you legally responsible for the product in all areas including labeling (regulated by the FDA) and product claims. And the FDA has determined that your claims include not only what you say on the label but what you say in any brochures or other advertising material. You will also be the first one contacted if a consumer experiences any adverse reactions to your product. This means you should educate yourself about such things as stability, shelf life, and Product Liability Insurance.
CosmeticIndex.com has several resources that can provide orientation about cosmetic business insurance. Check out Industry Resources and Trade Associations. ICMAD (Independent Cosmetic Manufacturers and Distributors) is the appropriate trade association for companies entering the industry. ICMAD can provide general guidance on regulations and government support and even has a Group Products Liability Policy for members.
Ideal for

What you need: packaging, artwork, displays and possibly consultants in marketing and product design.
Advantages: Custom made products from the ground up, and lower per piece cost.
Disadvantages: requires a large investment and support staff.
Alternative suggestions: If you don't have expertise in the Cosmetic Industry consider using consultants. Some can act as your marketing and product development staff. Some specialize in technical, formulation and regulatory issues. Some, called Full Service Development Companies can put together an entire line of products using their knowledge and experience, and will arrange for everything from formulation development to the final package.
Special note on Fragrances: To produce a custom fragrance in small quantities is a difficult task. You must first work with one of the essential oil houses who will blend the ingredients according to your guidelines. Then you must locate a filler who will do the rest of the steps necessary to bring the essential oils into a finished product like a perfume, cologne, etc.
Accessories and Displays: Accessories such as brushes, applicators, etc. as well as counter displays, tester displays, can be bought in both small and large quantities.
If you are thinking about starting your own cosmetics line, and would like to receive quotations for your ingredients, packaging, labels, etc, please browse the categories in the left menu and contact the companies in the appropriate category. This would be a starting point to learn about cosmetic business insurance.

A team of scientists, led by researcher Carles Lalueza-Fox from CSIC (Spanish National Research Council), has recovered - for the first time in history - part of the genome of two individuals living in the Mesolithic Period, 7000 years ago. Remains have been found at La Braña-Arintero site, located at Valdelugueros (León), Spain. The study results, published in the Current Biology magazine, indicate that current Iberian populations don't come from these groups genetically.This appears quite consistent with my model of mostly recent origins of European populations from a West Asian womb of nations. I can't wait to get my hands on this new data.
From the paper:
In the genomic analysis, it is interesting to see that the La Braña individuals do not cluster with modern populations from Southern Europe, including those from the Iberian Peninsula. The first PC separates a north-south distribution, whereas the second follows a general east-west pattern in modern Europeans. The position of La Braña individuals in the 1000 Genomes Project data and the 1KGPomnichip PCAs suggests that the uniform Mesolithic substrate could be related to modern Northern European populations but may represent a gene pool that is no longer present in contemporary Southern European populations. In the latter PCA, where the origin of each Iberian sample is known, it is possible to see that the Mesolithic specimens are not related to modern Basques, contrary to what has been previously suggested in some recent studies [39].The global PCA of the two individuals shows a clear shift relative to extant Europeans.
So while they are more related to Northern than to Southern Europeans, they are well outside the range of modern European variation. Indeed, there is a strong hint of "Asian-shift" to these individuals. This is completely consistent with the pattern in modern West Eurasian populations. As I noted:
With respect to the Asian- and African- shift of West Eurasian populations, I note that northern Europeans (and Basques) are less African-shifted than southern Europeans, and, at the same time they are more Asian-shifted: the 16 least Asian-shifted populations have a coastline in the Mediterranean (excluding the Portuguese), while the 16 least African-shifted populations do not (excluding the French).It now appears clear that the Mesolithic substratum in Europe was:
- Well outside the modern range, contributing a little to extant populations
- Its contribution in northern populations was higher than in southern ones
- It may be responsible for the pattern of Asian-shift observed for non-Mediterranean European populations
UPDATE: Due to the small number of SNPs, I pooled the two Mesolithic individuals into a single composite one; the K7b admixture proportions are: 9.3% African and 90.7% Atlantic_Baltic, which appears consistent with the position of the individuals in the European PCA plot. The sub-1,000 SNPs in common with the K7b do not give me a lot of confidence in the minority element, but, in any case, the high Atlantic_Baltic figure is what I would expect and appears consistent with the similarly high Atlantic_Baltic figure of the Swedish Neolithic hunter-gatherers.
UPDATE II: Using the K12b, the results are: 45% Atlantic_Med, 41.6% North_European, 10.3% East_African, 1% Sub_Saharan.
UPDATE III: In terms of the euro7 calculator, the results are: 89.6% Northwestern, 1.6% Southeastern, and 8.7% Far_Asian.
Current Biology, 28 June 2012 doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2012.06.005
Genomic Affinities of Two 7,000-Year-Old Iberian Hunter-Gatherers
Federico Sánchez-Quinto, Hannes Schroeder, Oscar Ramirez, María C. Ávila-Arcos, Marc Pybus, Iñigo Olalde, Amhed M.V. Velazquez, María Encina Prada Marcos, Julio Manuel Vidal Encinas, Jaume Bertranpetit, Ludovic Orlando, M. Thomas P. Gilbert, Carles Lalueza-Fox
- The first complete Mesolithic mtDNA genome retrieved
- There is a remarkable genetic uniformity in Europe during the Mesolithic period
- Modern Iberians are not direct descendants of the 7,000-year-old hunter-gatherers
- Genetic discontinuity between Mesolithic/Neolithic populations supported by simulations
Summary The genetic background of the European Mesolithic and the extent of population replacement during the Neolithic [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10] is poorly understood, both due to the scarcity of human remains from that period [11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18] and the inherent methodological difficulties of ancient DNA research. However, advances in sequencing technologies are both increasing data yields and providing supporting evidence for data authenticity, such as nucleotide misincorporation patterns [19,20,21,22]. We use these methods to characterize both the mitochondrial DNA genome and generate shotgun genomic data from two exceptionally well-preserved 7,000-year-old Mesolithic individuals from La Braña-Arintero site in León (Northwestern Spain) [23]. The mitochondria of both individuals are assigned to U5b2c1, a haplotype common among the small number of other previously studied Mesolithic individuals from Northern and Central Europe. This suggests a remarkable genetic uniformity and little phylogeographic structure over a large geographic area of the pre-Neolithic populations. Using Approximate Bayesian Computation, a model of genetic continuity from Mesolithic to Neolithic populations is poorly supported. Furthermore, analyses of 1.34% and 0.53% of their nuclear genomes, containing about 50,000 and 20,000 ancestry informative SNPs, respectively, show that these two Mesolithic individuals are not related to current populations from either the Iberian Peninsula or Southern Europe.

Relieving symptoms of sinus congestion, runny nose, sneezing, and throat and airway irritation due to colds, upper respiratory infections, and allergies. It may also be used for conditions as determined by your doctor.
Ryna-12X suspension is an expectorant, decongestant, and antihistamine combination. The expectorant loosens mucus and lung secretions in the chest and makes coughs more productive. The decongestant works by constricting blood vessels and reducing swelling in the nasal passages, making it easier to breathe. The antihistamine works by blocking the action of histamine, which helps reduce symptoms such as watery eyes and sneezing.
Do NOT use Ryna-12X suspension if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in Ryna-12X suspension
- you have severe high blood pressure, severe heart blood vessel disease, rapid heartbeat, or severe heart problems
- you are unable to urinate or are having an asthma attack
- you take sodium oxybate (GHB) or you have taken furazolidone or a monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor (e.g, phenelzine) within the last 14 days

Best Books of 2008
Another year has passed and that basically just means that more books have been published and many more are on the way. This was obviously an exciting year for me with my venture into the world of publishing and this list is a tip of the hat to projects that made me envious. Each exhibits strengths that make them destined for a long shelf life and educates as to the potential for book-making. Certainly I have missed many other great titles that have slipped past my radar but here are my picks for 2008. Check them out and enjoy.
1 Invaze 68 by Josef Koudelka (Torst/Aperture) Many weren't too sure of this one but I love it. I prefer the Torst Czech version with the recycled paper cover but need the Aperture edition for the texts.
2 101 Billionaires by Rob Hornstra (Borotov) The biggest surprise of Paris Photo. Missed out on his first but won't miss out on future ones.
3 Pretend You're Actually Alive by Leigh Ledare (PPP Editions) Great first book (even with the misshapen slipcase) from this young artist and I hope he keeps making 'em with the same intensity.
4 A New History of Photography by Ken Schles (Schaden/White Press) Inventive, witty, smart and great book craftsmanship and concept.
5 Beaufort West by Mikhail Subotzky (Chris Boot) My very first impression was not favorable...needless to say it has grown on me...and grown on me...
6 Sent A Letter by Dayanita Singh (Steidl) Delicate, quiet and very interesting.
7 Wonderland by Jason Eskanazi (De.Mo) A long time coming and well worth the wait.
8 Solitude of Ravens by Masahisa Fukase (Rathole) a reworking of an old masterpiece.
9 South East by Mark Steinmetz (Nazraeli) The second in what will be a trilogy. Mark is well due his moment and this is another that shows why.
10 A Road Trip Journal by Stephen Shore (Phaidon) Way too pricey to the point where I might say it isn't worth it but I like it too much.
Runners Up...
11 Living with War/Protest the War by Judith Joy Ross (Steidl) OK, it's two books but they seem inseperable.
12 Avenue Patrice Lumumba by Guy Tillim (Prestel/Peabody Museum).
13 Secrets of Real Estate by John Gossage (Sheldon Art)
14 Bird by Roni Horn (Steidl) Almost too short to be wholly satisfying but still a favorite.
15 Peru by Robert Frank (Steidl)
Last year I caught a lot of grief from friends who joked that my 'best of' list totaled 35 books so this year I am keeping it to just 15. It's a bit easier on your wallet.
Feel free to make your own Best of 2008 list and contribute it to the comments section. I want to know what I missed. See for the list of 2007 ...

Part of the Introduction to Scripting in Python specialization.
This course will introduce you to the wonderful world of Python programming! We'll learn about the essential elements of programming and how to construct basic Python programs. We will cover expressions, variables, functions, logic, and conditionals, which are foundational concepts in computer programming. We will also teach you how to use Python modules, which enable you to benefit from the vast array of functionality that is already a part of the Python language. These concepts and skills will help you to begin to think like a computer programmer and to understand how to go about writing Python programs.
By the end of the course, you will be able to write short Python programs that are able to accomplish real, practical tasks. This course is the foundation for building expertise in Python programming. As the first course in a specialization, it provides the necessary building blocks for you to succeed at learning to write more complex Python programs.
This course uses Python 3. While many Python programs continue to use Python 2, Python 3 is the future of the Python programming language. This first course will use a Python 3 version of the CodeSkulptor development environment, which is specifically designed to help beginner programmers learn quickly. CodeSkulptor runs within any modern web browser and does not require you to install any software, allowing you to start writing and running small programs immediately. In the later courses in this specialization, we will help you to move to more sophisticated desktop development environments.

Destruction Of Timbuktu's Treasures Continues; Humanitarian Crisis Looms
Morning Edition today catches up on the news from Mali, where as we reported last week Islamist extremists are destroying centuries-old historical sites in Timbuktu because they find them offensive.
Human Rights Watch senior researcher Corinne Dufka, who is in Mali, tells show host Renee Montagne that the destruction of tombs and other sites sacred to Sufis continues. And because there is no legitimate government in the country now, there's seemingly little that can be done, Dufka says. About all other African nations are trying to do is "contain and stop foreign Islamists from coming into Mali," she says.
Mali's democratically elected president was toppled in a coup earlier this year. Rebel groups have since moved to grab parts of the nation.
Meanwhile, a "serious humanitarian crisis" is growing, Dufka warns. About 300,000 people have fled to neighboring countries to avoid the fighting between various forces. There's a "looming famine," Dufka says.
Extremists from a group known as Ansar Dine, as NPR's Ofeibea Quist-Arcton said last week on Talk of the Nation, say the tombs in Timbuktu, "these mausoleums of Muslim saints, are idolatrous."
That, of course, is the same excuse the Taliban gave about destroying the towering Buddhas in Bamiyan, Afghanistan, in early 2001.
Update at 9:40 a.m. ET. France Talks About Military Intervention.
Ofeibea tells our Newscast Desk that:
"The French foreign minister is raising the idea of foreign military intervention in Mali to drive Islamists out of key territory, the size of France, that they have seized in the desert north."
But, she adds, "the minister's spokesman, Bernard Valero, says 'it will be the African countries who would have to be on the front line. We do not have any intention to directly intervene.' "

Residents will breathe easier after the GenOn power plant closes next week, ending a years-long battle between the company and city officials, neighbors and activists.
City officials reached an agreement with GenOn to shut the plant down — effective Monday — last year, with Alexandria agreeing to release $32 million to the company held in escrow for projects improving environmental controls. They heralded the deal at the time as a landmark decision.
With the closing date looming, GenOn officials have given every indication the plant will power down for good, said William Skrabak, deputy director of the city's office of environmental quality. And residents like Elizabeth Chimento have waited years for the moment.
"We are overjoyed that this project we had worked on for so long and had experienced so many difficulties with has finally come to a close," said Chimento, a volunteer teacher who with her neighbor Poul Hertel has fought to close the plant since 2001.
But her work isn't quite finished. Although the plant will power down, the company remains responsible for an outstanding violation notice issued by the state's Environmental Quality Department, Chimento said. In August 2012, GenOn was fined for exeeding emmision rates twice.
"I'll continue to work on that until it's resolved. At that point, I will consider my work on the power plant concluded," Chimento said. "This means much better air for the city and less pollutants … especially for the 4,000 people who are around the immediate vicinity of the plant."
Situated on the Potomac River, the plant opened in 1949 and produces just 5 percent of the city's electricity. Many residents criticized the plant for failing to meet emissions regulations and producing greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide.
After GenOn's doors officially close, the company will begin a deactivation plan, which includes an electrical disconnect from the switchyard on the property, removing all excess coal and selling it back into the marketplace, said company spokeswoman Misty Allen.
The Alexandria skyline will remain unchanged for the time being. Pepco owns the land — valued at about $54.7 million, according to the Virginia State Corporation Commission — and GenOn has no plans to demolish the structure.
"We are overjoyed that this project we had worked on for so long and had experienced so many difficulties would finally come to a close," Chimento said.

Horrific details keep emerging about the deaths in Graham, Wash., on Sunday of Braden and Charlie Powell.
Among the disturbing news: Authorities now say it appears that before the boys died in a fire ignited by their father, Josh Powell, he struck his sons with a hatchet.
"The Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office on Monday said all three died from smoke inhalation. But both boys also suffered 'chop injuries,' Braden to his head and neck, and Charlie to his neck," The Seattle Times writes.
Braden was 5-years-old. Charlie was seven. Their mother disappeared in 2009 and the father, Josh Powell, was a "person of interest" in that case.
According to the boys' maternal grandfather, Braden and Charlie didn't want to go to their father's home on Sunday for what was supposed to be a visit supervised by a social worker. Chuck Cox told reporters Monday, as The Seattle Times says, that "they were just adamant they did not want to go." Braden and Charlie were living with Chuck and Judy Cox, their grandparents (and the parents of the missing mother, Susan Powell).
The Salt Lake Tribune adds that the brothers were "immersed in play with a young cousin" and may have wanted to keep playing rather than visit Josh Powell.
When the boys arrived at Josh Powell's home, according to the social worker who took them there, they ran ahead of her and the father quickly locked the door to prevent her from entering. Moments later, the home exploded into flames.

Bing on Windows Phone 8 getting a "refreshed experience" over the coming weeks, including word definitions
Windows Phone Central has had few isolated reports recently of changes to the Bing search results on Windows Phone 8. We can now confirm that they are real and coming to all Windows Phone 8 devices soon. The changes include a new layout and appear to be the result of usability feedback to Bing.
One of those changes that was brought to our attention is the ability to receive a direct definition of a word in the results (seen above), as opposed to clicking a link to a dictionary site. The biggest change though is in the number of pivots, dropping from the previous four to three: Web, Local, Media, and Shopping versus the new Web, Images and Video. In addition to that change, the pivots themselves have been re-designed with a new layout for information.
The site Windows Phone Daily detailed the changes last night, noting that the Web section is more "context heavy" with local results, including maps, being intertwined with the general web results. Likewise, product cards for items searched will also be merged into the Web results. The resulting change appears to be streamlining the search process so that users have less pivot changes to make when doing basic searches.
Finally, Images and Video, previously both under "Media" now each has separate pivots as well, with larger image previews and a new two-column video layout.
Not everyone has it, yet
We have to second-hand report this information as most Windows Phone 8 devices, including our own, do not yet have these modifications. When the alterations do happen, users won't need to do anything as it will all be pushed from Bing's backend servers to the device. So far it seems limited to only those in the U.S., though even there it is only a minority of users.
We reached out to Microsoft on the matter and we are able to now report that these changes will go worldwide:
So there you go. These changes are official and are confirmed as rolling out, though it may take a few weeks to propagate. We think the updates make more sense and obviously the Bing team is making them to better align with the web version of the search tool.
