DC Comics will be putting their own spin on Scooby-Doo, when they publish Scooby Apocalypse on May 2016. Scooby Apocalypse is among other reimaginings such as Future Quest (Team Quest with guests such as Birdman and the Herculoids, and many more), Wacky Raceland (Wacky Races meets Mad Max: Fury Road), and The Flintstones (it's basically the same).
He does. But at the same time, he has wild light brown hair, a crazy beard, a green shirt and maroon pants. So it's still obviously Shaggy. I'd say the now clinically dwarfed Velma is unrecognizable. Is she supposed to be a little kid now or just a little person?
Anythingspossibleforapossible wrote: It looks like Scooby might communicate through emojis programmed through his collar.
Well, if they're basically going to make him a mute, regular dog, let's hope the emojis are clearly understandable. And that they make his face way more expressive, which is setting the bar pretty high, since it's already expressive.

Childress grew up with and had played with the original band members of Collective Soul before the group signed to Atlantic Records in early 1994. Over a period of eight years with the band, he recorded on, and toured in support of, five studio albums that have sold over seven million copies and generated seven #1 singles (“Shine,” “The World I Know,” “December,” “Gel,” “Where The River Flows,” “Heavy” and “Run”) on the U.S. Billboard Mainstream Rock charts.
The legendary guitarist and co-founding member of Collective Soul, hails from Stockbridge, Georgia. As lead guitarist for Collective Soul, Childress' inovative guitar work was heard by millions of fans from around the globe. From 1994 to 2001 Collective Soul received more airtime on the radio than any other band of its era including Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, R.E.M. and Oasis. Childress is considered a pioneer of the alternative rock genre through his indelible work with Collective Soul. He left the band in September 2001 after the release of the greatest hits compilation 7even Year Itch.
During his time with Collective Soul, Childress was known for his metallic guitar sounds and heavy riffs incorporating elements of metal and blues in his playing. Along with songwriter Ed Roland, he penned many of the band's popular "hooks." Childress wrote, sang lead vocals, and performed guitar on the song "Dandy Life" on the 1999 release Dosage. This was the first time that a member other than Ed Roland had sung lead on a studio recording. In 2009, Childress became a member of the Georgia Music Hall of Fame.

Blog from the Bench: Brendan Hughes
Brendan Hughes is a first year PhD student in the USC-Buck Biology of Aging Program studying neurodegenerative disease in the Campisi lab. Prior to pursuing a PhD, Brendan received a bachelor of science in biological sciences from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. However, he says his experience working at Rubedo Life Sciences in between his sophomore and junior year of college is where his passion for the biology of aging emerged.
Here’s what Brendan has to say about his work at the Buck:
Because of the aging field’s unique potential to positively impact so many people in the world, I could not see myself working in any other field of science after college. After graduating from Cal Poly, I set my sights on further study in the biology of aging, and while applying to PhD programs focused in this field, I found the opportunity to work in the Campisi lab as a Research Associate and lab manager. Taking that job enabled me to grow my skill set in the aging field and I was accepted into the USC-Buck Biology of Aging PhD Program.
I am currently pursuing research focused on neurodegenerative disease, specifically dementia. As our older adult population grows, and because dementia disproportionately affects individuals and our healthcare system, I think there is no better time to study it. In addition, public support for research on dementia seems to be dwindling, as clinical trials continue to fail to produce positive results. Many of these clinical trials have focused on targeting amyloid beta plaques in cognitively impaired individuals, but many cognitively normal older individuals also have amyloid plaques in the brain, suggesting that amyloid beta plaques are not the root cause of dementia. We desperately need to pursue other avenues of inquiry. In the Campisi lab, we study how neuronal senescence contributes to brain dysfunction as we age, irrespective of amyloid beta plaques.
To study the brain in the lab, I am establishing a workflow for a new model at the Buck called direct differentiation. Because neurons are not readily harvested from the brain, scientists have developed models to turn one cell type into a different cell type. Every cell in the body contains the same DNA; however, cells express different parts of the DNA which leads to a cell’s identity and function. With this information, for example, we can reprogram a skin cell into a neuron by turning off the skin cell genes and turning on the neuron genes. I hope to blend this technique of direct differentiation with Dr. Judy Campisi’s expertise in cellular senescence for my PhD thesis.
Judy is an internationally renowned scientist in the field of cellular senescence. I am excited to have her as my mentor. Senescence normally helps the body heal wounds as well as protects the body from potentially cancerous cells. These cells are then cleared by our immune system once their function is performed. As we age though, senescent cells can accumulate in the body and lead to chronic inflammation, which has a myriad of negative consequences. We hope to identify novel mechanisms by which senescent neurons contribute to cognitive decline as we age, as well to understand how the senescent neurons manage to stay alive as we age. This knowledge is essential in order to develop targeted therapies for the possible maladies caused by these senescent neurons.
This project could not have developed without support from Judy, the Campisi lab scientists, and many other scientists outside and at the Buck. The work is also part of a five-year program project grant at the Buck headed by Judy Campisi, Lisa Ellerby, and Eric Verdin, which allows me to collaborate and learn from the Ellerby lab’s expertise in neuroscience and the Verdin lab’s expertise in metabolism and immunology. With the support of Judy and the collaborations ingrained into this project at its culmination, I am confident major breakthroughs are coming to the field of dementia research, which is in dire need of a success story for all the current and future individuals affected by dementia.

This Public Agenda/USA TODAY Hidden Common Ground report focuses on affective polarization, meaning negative feelings towards people whose political views differ from one's own. Findings from this nationally representative survey of American adults, fielded in September 2021, include:
Americans are united in thinking that partisan hostility and divisiveness harm the country and want a less contentious nation.
Most Americans actually do not have strongly unfavorable feelings towards either Democratic or Republican voters.
Most Americans believe in the value of differences of opinion and dialogue, and many are trying to connect across partisan lines.
A strong cross-partisan majority of Americans believe that the federal government should ensure voting rights for all, and a more modest majority believe that doing so would actually bring the country together. By contrast, partisan differences of opinion emerge starkly when people are asked about federal policies directly aimed at combating racism.
To bring the country together, Americans agree on the need for better news and information; and, most want social media to stop amplifying divisiveness.
Across partisan lines, most Americans agree that reducing the influence of money in politics would help bring the country together. Many people also believe that educational approaches would help unify the country.
The report concludes with reflections on the findings and implications for addressing affective polarization.

So I’m finally getting around to writing up my son’s 4th birthday. A couple of months ago I asked what he wanted for his birthday cake and he decided on Lightning McQueen from Disney’s Cars. I had a look on Pintrest for ideas and decided on a two tier square cake with a carved Lightning Mcqueen as the 2nd tier.
I used my standard Chocolate Cake Recipe and Vanilla frosting as a crumb coat for the cakes. The base layer was a 9 inch square cake and it took 3 layers to get the height I was after. I originally baked 2 square cakes and a large rectangular cake to use for the car. When I realised I needed 3 layers for the main cake I used most of the rectangular cake for this, meaning I didn’t have a lot of room for mistakes when I made the car from the leftover bits.
To cover the cake board I made up quite a lot of red fondant by kneading red gel colour though white fondant. I made enough to also cover the sides of the square cake and the car.
For the first tier of the cake I used roll out white fondant and then added a check effect to the sides. To make the checks I rolled out a strip of the red fondant the width of the side and then used White flower paste from Renshaw Baking and pre-coloured Black flower paste to make the squares. I used guidelines on my non-stick mat and a ruler to mark out the squares, cutting them with my mini pizza wheel sugarcraft tool . I then attached the squares to the red fondant using edible glue. Once the stip was fully covered I flipped it over onto greaseproof paper and applied edible glue to the back before very carefully lining it up with the sides of the cake. I made two separate strips because I didn’t have enough space to made one long strip.
Next I started on the car:
- Step one was to use vanilla frosting to join the basic layers together.
- Next I used a knife to carefully cut the angles for the windscreen and the spoiler
- Next I cut out the wheel arches and added bits either side of the hood where the headlights go. (Im sure it has a proper name but no idea what), before crumb coating with vanilla frosting and covering the whole thing in some of the red fondant I coloured earlier.
- I then started colouring flower paste to make the details. The wheels I made from solid black flowerpaste and made a dip in the middle which I covered in red to give the effect of alloys.
- I tried to make him look like he was doing the Cachow pose from the films but I’m not sure it shows. I made him into the version from Cars 2 when he has won the piston cup rather than the Rust-eze version. I used a cocktail stick to scratch out the words PISTON CUP and then went over them with the same cocktail stick dipped in red gel colour.
- To make the 95 numbers I half kneaded together some orange and yellow paste to make a graded effect before cutting out the numbers with a patchwork cutter. I then reshaped them slightly so they looked like the correct font.
- Finally I made up some thick water icing and piped World Grand Prix onto the bumper and Lightyear onto the tyres.
- To make sure the 2nd tier would be supported I cut some lollipop sticks to the height of the bottom tier and pushed them into it where the Lightning McQueen Cake board would sit.
- To finish the cake I used flower paste painted with metallic and red food paint to make a Cars Badge for the front of the bottom tier.

It may be tougher to quit vaping than many young people expect when they first pick up an e-cigarette.
Nearly half of young vapers – 45 percent – are “seriously interested in quitting,” according to Tracy Smith, an assistant professor at the Medical University of South Carolina who led a study on vaping. A quarter of young vapers also tried to quit in the past year.
Smith’s findings were summarized in an article in the journal JAMA Pediatrics this week. She said she believes this was the first time researchers have studied 12- to 17-year-olds’ efforts to quit vaping, and the results were surprising.
“Many adolescents who vape think it’s not very harmful,” Smith said in a written statement. “We expected to find very few who would be interested in quitting.”
E-cigs are unsafe for children, teens and young adults, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Nicotine can affect brain development and vaping products have been found to contain other harmful substances.
As of last year, more than 5 million youths were using e-cigs, according to the Food and Drug Administration. The findings of Smith’s study mean that there are millions of young people interested in quitting vaping.
With so many young people wanting to quit, Smith said there need to be more resources to help them.
“It’s hard to stop vaping for the same reason it’s hard to stop using all tobacco products – because nicotine is addictive,” she said.
However, it may be even harder to quit vaping than it is to quit smoking, according to Smith. That’s because smokers tend to use one cigarette at a time in specific situations. But vaping is different.
“A lot of people who vape are using it everywhere and all the time, because it’s easier to do indoors and you don’t have to light a vape,” Smith said. “It’s always available to you.”


TechTarget's 2014 IT Priorities Survey found that 59% of more than 4,100 respondents planned to spend more on their software budget this year compared to last. That topped hardware at 52%, cloud services at 38% and other facets of the IT budget including maintenance and staff. Respondents took the survey in fall 2013.
Experts said the results signal that companies are starting to increase spending on software upgrades and other projects around big data and business analytics that have been on hold the past few years due to tight purse strings.
"When you're talking about new initiatives like big data, predictive analytics and the like, software typically accounts for a much larger share of spending, particularly in the early phases," said Dan Olds, principal consultant at Gabriel Consulting Group, Inc. in Portland, Ore. "When successful projects begin to scale past the testing and 'dip our toes in the water' stage, you then see hardware spending ramp up more."
Sometimes it just depends on how one defines various parts of the IT budget. DeKalb County, Georgia is increasing its software budget for 2014, but much of that is going toward Software as a Service (SaaS). Chief Information Officer John Matelski said the county conducts return on investment and total cost of ownership (TCO) studies for all its technology projects, particularly because its IT budget has shrunk. The county views software as a long-term investment, and as it compared five-year models for on-premises versus cloud, it found that cloud provided the best TCO. But Matelski still considers that in the realm of software.
"Software solution spend is going up as we endeavor to modernize a number of our systems," he said. "Having said that, in most cases, we are leveraging SaaS."
Floyd Teter, a senior project director at Io Consulting based in El Segundo, Calif., has observed a slightly different trend. The longtime Oracle applications expert sees "many customers looking at upgrading current software or purchasing new software -- much of it, surprisingly, on-premise."
Teter added that there is "lots of interest in cloud services, especially subscription and service models, but not so much actual adoption." He thinks that the transition for enterprise software from on-premises to cloud is still in its infancy, and that many enterprise software customers are still wary of the cloud due to fears of losing control of their data, technology platform and security architecture.
Other thoughts abound. Bill Bradford, a senior systems administrator for a Houston-based energy services firm, said that his company is in the middle of a big data center move this year, so there's a lot of budget money going into facilities. On the flip side, Michael Bain, an IT specialist at a company in South Africa, said his company recently changed its accounting package, so software spending has been up. Yet another CIO who declined to be named said he thinks of IT in terms of business services and outcomes, so he doesn't break it down on the back end by hardware, software and so on.
Business analytics seeing big spending
Of all the enterprise software budget spending going on, business intelligence (BI) and analytics is the most popular. According to TechTarget's 2014 IT Priorities Survey, 41% said BI, analytics and data warehousing when asked which software initiatives their companies will deploy this year.
Richard Winter, CEO of IT consultancy WinterCorp in Cambridge, Mass., said his impression is that spending in analytic data platforms, tools and services is "on the upswing" this year.
"I think there is going to be a healthy spend on data management, data analysis, data visualization and business intelligence software," he said. "This spending occurs in connection with increased spending on underlying platforms to store and manage the data." Winter named data warehouses, Hadoop and other analytical data software as those underlying platforms.
Winter thinks the investment is driven by the influx of data and opportunities for a company to profit from better business decision-making by gaining insights from that wealth of information.
Trailing business analytics in popularity was mobile applications with 37%, custom application development with 36%, and business process automation and management with 28%. That last one is an area that R "Ray" Wang, principal analyst at Constellation Research, Inc. in Monta Vista, Calif., has seen come up recently.
"We see an increase in software spending in general," he said. "Companies are investing in technology, especially software to drive automation and productivity. They are willing to invest more in technology than people."

An Examination of the Perceptions of Older Americans on Successful Aging and Adult Education Programs to Meet their Aging Needs in Southeast Alabama
Type of Degreedissertation
Education Foundation, Leadership, and Technology
MetadataShow full item record
The purpose of this study was to examine the personal perceptions of older Americans in regards to the aging process and the characteristics of successful aging. In addition, the study aimed to determine individual perceptions of adult education programs and resources necessary in aging successfully. The study examined current resources, services and adult education programs through surveys from an individual perspective regarding successful aging. Research obtained addressed the educational issues of older Americans and provided recommendations for adult education programs that most appropriately meet the aging needs of the elderly population. Findings from the Successful Aging research study revealed that a majority of older Americans perceive mental health issues as more important than physical issues. Survey participants contended there is a need for better appropriation, accountability, and allocation of current funding for services, programs, and resources. Almost all participants acknowledged interaction with friends and family, the ability to remain active mentally as well as physically, independent, and the autonomy to make decisions about their own aging needs as arguably the most significant distinctions which assist in aging successfully. Additionally, the study provides fundamental data and research in their field of gerontology to assist stakeholders with future strategic planning of services, programs, and resources for older Americans which most appropriately and adequately equipment them in aging successfully.

The three-time Pro Bowl wideout has moved on, but it doesn’t seem that everyone in Cleveland is done with him yet.
Marla Ridenour of the Akron Journal wrote on social media about how the wideout is suffering karma for the drama he caused in Cleveland.
The stud receiver quickly turned around and mentioned that he only has love for Cleveland.
It’s just Love! There is no Karma! Karma is for “unjust” https://t.co/Xf1nQozgCq
— Odell Beckham Jr (@obj) January 3, 2022
It was obviously a frustrating and abrupt ending to Beckham’s career in Cleveland.
Although, he has moved on and it’s time that the Browns do the same.
Beckham in LA
The 29-year-old has moved on from Cleveland and appears to be doing quite well in Los Angeles.
He certainly didn’t let Ridnour’s tweet impact his performance during Sunday’s game.
Beckham hauled in five of his seven targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in the win.
It was his second game in a row with a touchdown and this one was a game winner.
— Trev Reporteraport (@incredelman_11) January 2, 2022
Beckham has five touchdowns in seven games with the Rams this season.
That is more than he had in a single season during both the 2019 and 2020 campaigns with Cleveland.
Clearly, Beckham is doing much better in Los Angeles and that’s great for him.
Browns fans should be happy that Beckham is finally in a spot that can help him succeed.
Now, he’ll get a chance at a Super Bowl with his new team before hitting free agency.
Time To Forget OBJ
Sadly, the Browns season is over as they’ve been officially eliminated from the postseason.
It’s a shame, but the Browns do have a strong core of young and talented players.
That being said, it’s time to let go of OBJ and focus on the future.
Obviously, OBJ and quarterback Baker Mayfield were never on the same page.
It happens, so let Beckham go elsewhere and find a quarterback he connects with on the field.
The Browns now need to focus on rebuilding their wide receiver group this offseason.
Cleveland is obviously without OBJ and Jarvis Landry could be headed elsewhere at season’s end.
That means, we could be seeing some big things in Cleveland soon.
Until then, Browns fans can shift their action to playoff football and don’t hold a grudge on OBJ because everyone is sick of hearing about it now.

Tony found a copy cat recipe for Portillo’s chocolate cake recipe. Since our neighbors were buying the crab this time for Crab Fest 2010, I offered to make two desserts – something I rarely make! But these two desserts are show stoppers. Both are super simple, but taste as if you were a pastry chef!
I kept thinking yesterday was Saturday since I was off! Being Friday, that meant no meat for Tony, and one of his favorite things is egg salad sandwiches. I followed Martha Stewart’s recipe for perfect hard boiled eggs. I always have a problem with peeling off the egg whites with the peel, or there is a green ring inside the egg yolk. Not this time!
Put eggs in pan and cover with cold water – just an inch above the eggs. Simmer over medium heat until the water comes to a boil. Once the water is up to a boil, remove from heat, cover and let sit for 12 minutes. Run under cold water to stop the cooking process.
Since I woke up so late yesterday, I made Tony his egg salad sandwich and I made a grilled ham and cheese. Kraft actually makes pepper jack cheese that’s wrapped exactly like their American cheese – each slice is only 45 calories!
With an ounce of potato chips on the side:
Did anyone watch Chef Academy on Bravo? Chef Novelli made this dessert called Chocolate Pot – and when the students ate it they were gushing how great it was. Since I made it at our last crab fest, I decided to make it again.
|ounces dark chocolate
|ounces heavy cream
|ounce cocoa powder
- Warm cream and milk together. Bring to warm temperature, remove from heat and melt chocolate.
- Add cocoa powder and mix well. Stir in honey and whiskey – put in four bowls and chill for 4-6 hours.
Each serving: 494 calories, 33 fat, 41 carbs, 5.7 fiber and 7.6 protein. You can print out a printer friendly version here. Obviously, with stats like this, this is a once in a while treat! Serve with whip cream.
The last time I made this, when I added the cocoa powder, it was hard to make it smooth in the sauce. This time I put it through a strainer and it worked out great.
Then pour 1/2 cup into 4 separate bowls.
So the word on the street is that the reason Portillo’s chocolate cake is so moist is because there is mayo in it. Tony found a copy cat recipe that uses a cake mix – so simple! Make sure you buy super moist Betty Crocker mix, 1 cup water, 3 eggs and 1 cup mayo. That’s it!
I baked mine in a 10 inch cake pan and baked it at 350 for 30 minutes. I set it outside to cool faster so I could frost it. I made this one a yellow cake, because it’s my neighbors favorite. But I plan on making a chocolate version for Easter Sunday! 😀
Oh, did I mention the butter cream frosting I made for this??
- 2 sticks of butter, softened
- 1 pound powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 6 tablespoons heavy cream
So while this is usually the star of Crab Fest:
This clearly stole the show!
I am pretty sure that cake was insulin worthy – to the tune of 15 units of insulin!! But it was so worth it! 😀
On tap for today: baking bread! It’s rainy and chilly today, so it’s a great way to spend the day inside and bake! Oh, and that pile of clothes I mentioned yesterday? Um, they are still there – I need to spend at least an hour today on that.
And I got this in the mail yesterday – so many recipes I am going to make this week are from this magazine!
Hope you have a great Saturday! 😀


On May 21, 2013 from 7am to 9am, the men and women of the Athens-Clarke County Police Department (Georgia) will serve a benefit breakfast for motorcycle officer Ken Beavers. The Buddy Christian Foundation is facilitating the benefit breakfast. Tickets are $6 per person and are available for purchase using the button below. Additionally, donations may be made to benefit Officer Beavers using the button below. All proceeds go to benefit Officer Beavers.
What: Breakfast with the men and women of the Athens-Clarke County Police Department
When: 5/21/2013, 7am-9am
Where: The Classic Center, 300 N. Thomas Street, Athens Georgia
Why: To help ease the burden on Officer Beavers’ family while he recovers from his injuries
The Rest of the Story
On April 22, 2013, Athens-Clarke County Police motorcycle Officer Beavers was seriously injured in a collision with a Taxi near downtown Athens. Officer Beavers sustained a concussion, a broken leg, and a facial injury in the crash. He faces a long recovery process that will leave him out of work for many months.
During his recovery, Officer Beavers will suffer a loss of income. Like most police officers, Officer Beavers relies not only on his regular duty paycheck but also special duty details to make ends meet for his family. A portion of Officer Beavers’ regular paycheck may be supplanted by insurance benefits, but the income from special duty details that his family depends upon will not. Officer Beavers will also face increased expenses as a result of his injuries.


With the Ultimae serving as Sant’Agata Bolognese’s last pure gasoline V12 car, Lamborghini is now going full steam ahead to electrify its three-model lineup. In an interview with Coach magazine, the company’s CEO, Stephan Winkelmann, has revealed what the near future holds for the rampaging bull, starting at the end of the year, when the company unveils a new model.
Announced for its debut this summer in a press release mainly talking about Lamborghini’s “six best months of all time” in sales, the next car will feature a naturally aspirated V12 engine with hybrid assist. Without going into too much detail, the 56-year-old executive said he would use supercapacitor technology in the same vein as the 819-horsepower Sián FKP 37 – the company’s first electrified production car.
During the same interview, Winkelmann said that 2022 will be the year Lamborghini will present two models based on the Huracan and the Urus. The mid-engined V10 supercar will not move to the next generation in 2022, as the big boss said it will happen in 2024. This means that the existing model will get another derivative to follow on from the Super Trofeo Omologata. Time will tell if this will be an STO Spyder or some other type of Huracan.
As for the Urus expected next year, the Super SUV will undergo a mid-cycle refresh likely bringing in a bit more power and a plug-in hybrid setup. Camouflaged prototypes have been spotted several times in recent months, and Lamborghini recently celebrated the making of 15,000 examples of its spiritual successor LM002.
Further on, Winkelmann said Coach the successor to the Aventador will be launched in 2023 with a PHEV configuration. It won’t use a supercapacitor because it says it represents “bridge technology” and is not green enough to meet increasingly stringent emissions regulations. This is the reason Lamborghini will adopt a plug-in hybrid powertrain based on an all-new V12 engine.
Asked about the weight penalty imposed by the additional equipment related to electrification, the senior officers avoided a direct answer by referring to the power / weight ratio. Reading between the lines, this means that the replacement for the Aventador will be more powerful thanks to the electric boost to compensate for the added fat. That said, more carbon fiber and other ultralight materials could minimize the weight gain.
Regarding the next-gen Huracan, Winkelmann said it was too early to say whether it would keep the 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V10 engine shared with the Audi R8. He did not rule out the possibility of a hybrid V6, saying Lamborghini will study other types of engines before making a “balanced decision”.
As for the already confirmed fourth model range arriving after 2025 with an all-electric setup, the Lambo boss said it won’t be an SUV. Instead, it will take the form of “at least a 2 + 2, so a car that drives daily”. It sounds like a big swoopy tourer to us, so while it won’t be the Estoque sedan we’ve been patiently waiting for, it could be a modern-day Espada.

Can I buy BAM Clothing in any shops?
We don’t have any of our own shops. However there are a few independent retailers in the UK and Europe that we have started working with, mainly selling socks, and mostly online.
Do you Deliver Outside of UK?
Yes, we do! Please take a look at our Delivery Information for further information.
Are BAM products made with 100% bamboo fibres?
Our BAM fabrics are made with at least 68% bamboo viscose, which ensures the natural properties of bamboo are also the properties of our BAM fabrics.
We normally mix the bamboo viscose with 28% cotton or organic cotton – to prevent the fabric from piling (bobbling) – and 4% elastane – to ensure the fabric has a little ‘give’ while retaining its shape.
The BAM fabric for socks, however, is made with 78% bamboo plus 20% polyamide and 2% elastane, to ensure just enough stretch and strength.
How do I care for my bamboo garments?
We recommend to wash most of your BAM garments on a normal 40° cycle on your washing machine with similar coloured garments.
For any garments made with Merino Wool, we recommend to hand wash only and the occasional brush with a pilling comb will help them to last longer and stay super soft.
For longevity we recommend not to tumble dry your garments, not to dry clean them, not to bleach and if they need ironing do so on a medium heat.
Do BAM garments shrink if I wash them in the washing machine?
Generally no, with the exception of our heavier weight sweat fabric.
We have cut these garments a little bigger to allow for the 5% shrinkage which occurs. These garments include sweat pants and hoodies. We recommend not to tumble dry and lay them on a flat surface to air dry.
Where does BAM get its bamboo fabric from?
The Moso, or phyllostachys pubescens, bamboo that we use for BAM fabrics currently comes from the Yunnan Province in China. Initially bamboo was used for building, but in 2001 Beijing University discovered how to use bamboo to make textiles.
Is there any bamboo left for the pandas?
Bamboo happens to be the fasting growing grass on the planet, growing about a metre each day and spreading rapidly over large areas. The bamboo used for our fabric is planted and grown as a crop – in addition to the naturally growing bamboo that pandas live amongst and eat.
Are chemicals used in the growing of bamboo?
No – bamboo thrives naturally without using any pesticides or fertilizers. In fact, as the bamboo grows it absorbs greenhouse gases.
How does bamboo become a fabric?
Making the bamboo fabric does currently involve a chemical process – multi-phase bleaching, which uses caustic soda. However, research is ongoing to try and find other ways of carrying out this process with less harmful chemicals, and ideally without using any chemicals at all.
Are chemicals used in the dying of the fabrics?
We use the lowest impact dyes that are available. All the dyes used in our fabrics meet the European standard Oeko-tex (an independent testing and certification system that ensures harmful substances are not used in the manufacture of textiles) and the dying is carried out in a European dye house.
Our fabrics are dyed on the roll, before being transported to our garment manufacturers for cutting and sewing.
What is BAM doing to minimise its environmental impact?
The environmental benefits of using bamboo are an added bonus to the benefits wearing our clothing brings to our customers. However, as a company BAM believes that we should do all we can to help minimise the impact our business has on the environment.
We are continually looking at ways in which we can continue to offer an exceptional service to our customers while being mindful of the environment and adhering to the international standard for environmental management, ISO14000, and for quality, ISO9000, as well as only working with Oeko-tex and Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certificated suppliers.
In addition, we continue to support the research and development initiatives of our bamboo partner in China.
What are BAM’s employment ethics?
The BAM ethos is that we want to be successful, and that we want all our partners and customers to benefit from our success too. So we have developed good working relationships with all our suppliers.
For example, our Turkish garment manufacturers exceed the Social Accountability International SA8000 criteria, which is based on acceptable working practices outlined by the International Labour Organisation conventions, the United Nation’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
We ensure, through regular communication and contact, that our suppliers are paying their staff above the national minimum wages and offering good working conditions.
Are the natural properties of bamboo real or marketing hype?
There are many natural properties of bamboo that make it an amazing textile for clothing, not least its durability yet softness.
There is scientific evidence to support some of these properties, most of which are also self-evident to the wearer.
For more information, please refer to our Bamboo Facts page.
What about UV protection?
We have had our regular BAM T-shirt fabric tested for UV protection, the regular 160gms fabric that is 68% bamboo viscose, 28% organic cotton and 4% elastane, to ensure it meets the legal requirements in Europe (BS EN 13758-2 European Standard for the Classification and Making of UV Protective Apparel).
Based on these independent tests, we are able to claim the maximum ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) of 40+, which means the BAM fabric blocks out at least 97.5% of the harmful rays.
Testing was carried out in 2014 by SGS, a leading inspection, verification, testing and certification company.
Do the natural properties of bamboo diminish when the clothing is washed?
So long as you follow the instructions provided for your BAM clothing, then the natural properties will be retained for longer.
We advise that you don’t wash your BAM clothing at any more than 40 degrees and don’t use a tumble drier.
To preserve the moisture wicking feature, don’t use any fabric conditioners. However, over a long period with constant washing, some of the natural properties, such as the anti-bacterial nature of the fabric, are likely to diminish.
Is your merino wool ethical?
Yes, our Merino is sourced in Australia from a RWS (Responsible Wool Standard) certified farm.
This means that “On farms, the certification ensures that sheep are treated with respect to their Five Freedoms and also ensures best practices in the management and protection of the land. Through the processing stages, certification ensures that wool from certified farms is properly identified and tracked”

After 10 seasons and more than 500 home games that accounted for just a fraction of the days and nights he spent at Lawrence-Dumont Stadium, Wingnuts president and general manager Josh Robertson announced his resignation Friday afternoon.
The 42-year-old Robertson, who will remain with the team in an advisory role under new general manager Brian Turner, has worked in professional baseball in Wichita for 19 years, the first eight with the Wichita Wranglers.
After the Wranglers left for Arkansas following the 2007 season, the independent Wingnuts began play the following season.
Robertson, who has two daughters with his wife Monica, cited family reasons for his resignation. A recent viewing of a Kevin Costner movie got him thinking about life after baseball.
“I was literally sitting in my basement watching ‘For Love of the Game,’ and I didn’t even consult with my wife, I didn’t consult the owners,” Robertson said. “I decided this is what I was going to. Then I told my wife and she was shocked, because she would have expected me to be at the stadium for another 20 years.
“… Family is the main thing for me. This is based solely off family and spending more time with them and being on a more normal schedule.”
The Wingnuts were always a family endeavor for Robertson, a Wichita native. He is the oldest among four brothers – Luke, Nate and Matt – who all played significant roles within the franchise.
Luke was the pitching coach for the first nine years and Nate, a former major-leaguer, has served as part owner since the team’s inception. All three brothers have pitched for the team briefly.
Robertson built teams that reached the American Association playoffs nine times, including a current streak of seven straight division titles. Under seven-year manager Kevin Hooper, the Wingnuts won their only championship in 2014.
The Wingnuts have sent four players to the major leagues. Pitcher Junior Guerra hadn’t pitched above Class-A when he came to Wichita and 2011, and outfielder David Peralta, had only elevated to rookie ball – as a pitcher – when he joined the Wingnuts in 2012.
Robertson will help build the 2018 roster with Turner and new manager Brent Clevlen, who replaced Pete Rose Jr. after Rose’s two seasons. The future of the Wingnuts beyond this year is in doubt with Mayor Jeff Longwell promising a new downtown stadium and an affiliated team.
“All of our staff members, if an affiliated team does come – we don’t know what’s going to happen – we’re certain that a lot of our staff members are going to have the opportunity to work for them,” Robertson said.

Do these guys realize that when they publish something like this without giving credit to the orginal author and site, they may be setting themselves up for Plagiarism charges?
A lot of future journalists in college set around all day using their computers to see who had the original publication and thought on many issues. It might not happen for a few years, but when it does it can be very embarrassing. Only a rat senator like Biden can get by with it without damages to his reputation.

VATICAN CITY – Not even the Vatican is immune from the economic crisis.
For the first time, the Vatican is seeking funds directly from pilgrims, collectors and tourists to pay for the ambitious restoration of the 17th century Bernini colonnade surrounding St. Peter's Square. It is offering a special €20 ($26) stamp and certificate package.
The Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano reported Tuesday that the Vatican's Philatelic and Numismatic Office, which sells commemorative coins and stamps featuring popes, saints and the like, issued the series to offset a recession-induced drop in corporate sponsors for the restoration.
Two €10 ($13) stamps are affixed on the certificate, one featuring Pope Benedict XVI's papal seal and the other the seal of Pope Alexander VII, who along with Bernini came up with the idea for the colonnade.

When it came to the second full day of the first ever Hellfire Festival, Thrash Hits was looking forward to hour upon hour of the cream of young British metal talent tearing up North London like an runaway JCB. Instead we got something more akin to a out-of-control Mini Cooper – sure, at times it felt dangerous, but at times it felt as dangerous as an episode of Some Mothers Do ‘Ave ‘Em.

London metallers The Defiled have been trawling the circuits for a while now, piling up legions of fans in the process. We had a little chat with bassist, Drex Exel about what and WHO he wants for Christmas…
What was your highlight of 2008?
Kiss at Download. Any show that has a 50-year-old man flying across the audience on a zip-wire is good in my books!
What’s the worst thing that happened to you in 2008?
Breaking my bass in half whilst supporting Malefice at The Underworld – rest in pieces Frank.

Cooking with Chef Gordon Ramsay
As we’ve thought long and hard about our 2019 resolutions, there’s one that comes to mind over others: cook more with loved ones. Luckily for us, Chef Gordon Ramsay, a Michelin Star chef and television personality, launched a YouTube playlist last month to encourage this exact idea. US Magazine covered some great details about this playlist, which we’d like to share with residents of our Liv Ahwatukee Apartment community.
Upon visiting the article, you might wonder why we’re sharing it because of the focus on “holiday cooking with kids” — at first glance we even almost pushed it aside completely. But as we read the article and watched the videos Gordon Ramsay compiled, we learned that any amateur chef, no matter how young or old or at what time of the year, can benefit from this playlist.
From US Magazine:
“The 21-video playlist offers everything from festive cooking ideas to chef tips for kids and parents who plan to cook up some fun in their own kitchens this holiday season. In fact, several of the videos feature cameos from one or more of Ramsay’s own children – Meghan, 20, Holly, 19, Jack, 19, and Tilly, 17.
“In one entertaining clip, the MasterChef Junior host, 52, whips up hand-made mint chocolate truffles with a young Holly and Jack… In another video, Ramsay cooks tasty scrambled eggs and veggies in a matter of minutes – the perfect weekend breakfast for parents who don’t have a ton of time on their hands.”
Here’s a link for the first video of the playlist, which is an introduction by Chef Ramsay himself. Following this, you can watch a tutorial for handmade mint chocolate truffles, simple scrambled eggs, and much, much more.
We hope you join our Phoenix, AZ apartment community as we strive to cook a little more with loved ones in 2019. Enjoy!

Years ago I went to Magic Mountain with my 4 daughters.I was going to sit out Magic Mountains huge Roller Coastal because it was too scary things are too scary for me to enjoy.
The girls would not let me get away with that. They said, “Dad, all our lives you have been telling us that we we need to face our fears.I felt like a mouse being caught using my own cheese. I reluctantly finally agreed to go. We had to wait an hour and a half in line. I was anxious the whole time.
Ultimately I had to get on the coaster. They put me in the front row. I can’t say I enjoyed it. In fact I was somewhat scared the whole time, but I knew that the ride only lasted a few minutes. Then it was over. The waiting in line was by far the worst of the two experiences.
So many times I have ruined days or weeks dreading doing something of which I was afraid. Today I dealt with some business things that I usually postpone as long as I can. I refused to hesitate and just did them. All this illustrated that I have Have missed a lot of life’s richness and reward because of fear. I am old and you are young. I hope you miss far less than I have.
Of course, none of this means I should learn to dance.

Just a few days ago we reported on the ground team that Kanye West had hired to get on the ballot in a few states. Well checking in on his election progress and things aren’t looking quite as good as expected. First it started with his home state of Illinois where the Illinois State Board of Elections unanimously voted for him to be kept off of the ballot after failing to submit the required number of signatures. He had 412 pages of signatures with 2,500 in total but he was still 1,300 short.
Next up is Ohio where the Secretary of State Frank LaRose said he didn’t make the requirements to be on the ballot. Independent candidates have to file a valid joint nominating petition and statement of candidacy. LaRose said the information and signature on his nominating petition and statement of candidacy did not match the nominating petition and statement of candidacy signed by voters. West turned in nearly 15,000 signatures when only 5,000 were required and didn’t make it due to this technicality.
“A signature is the most basic form of authentication and an important, time-honored, security measure to ensure that a candidate aspires to be on the ballot and that a voter is being asked to sign a legitimate petition, LaRose said in a press release. “There is no doubt that the West nominating petition and declaration of candidacy failed to meet the necessary threshold for certification.” Smh
In Wisconsin, West missed the August 4th deadline by less than 5 minutes. The signatures were turned in by Lane Ruhland, former general counsel for the Wisconsin Republican Party who has represented the Trump campaign. “I regret it’s the case,” Republican Elections Commissioner Dean Knudson said. “I do not feel they filed timely.”
Election employee Cody Davies met Ruhland at the door seconds after 5:00 and by the time they got to the elevator it was almost 5:01 pm and told him the filing would be late. “When you’re late, you’re late,” Commissioner Julie Glancey said late Thursday. “We’ve knocked people off the ballot for being one signature short. If we are holding their feet to the fire on the number of signatures, we need to hold their feet to the fire on the time they file.” West’s attorney Michael Curran made the stunning argument that they had until 5:01 pm to submit and that they did within time. The one person who voted to have West’s petitions accepted, Republican Robert Spindell accused Democrats of intentionally keeping Black Americans off the presidential ballot to benefit Biden. Ultimately he missed by 14 seconds.
In Arizona it is reported that Kanye’s paying $8 per signature to get on the ballot and given how over 39,000 signatures are needed, that’s over a half million dollars for a campaign that’s likely going to result in losing. He has previously Trump supporting Republicans helping him with this campaign leaving gray area and a question on whether they are colluding with the Trump campaign. If so, that’s illegal but it’s hard to say without a paper trail as it very well is possible his voters may be looking for someone else to support. And with that being said, West is serving a Jill Stein vote for those unsatisfied with both party nominees.

I have looked at the pics of this game and it looks like the game board is always the same. However it is also modular. Is it put up the same way each time or can the rooms be in a different order, or more or less rooms. Is the clues being different make the scenario different or could the order and layout of the mansion make the scenario different.
This just seems such a good game, I will be glad when it is out.

“Jay Z will be joined at the concert by special guests to encourage unity and urge Ohioans to support Clinton by voting early or on Election Day,” Clinton’s campaign said in a statement.
Tickets are available on a first come, first served basis starting Friday (October 28). Sign up here to receive ticket information.
The Democratic presidential candidate said today (October 26) in an interview with The Breakfast Club she was “thrilled” at having Hov’s support and that of so many different people.
Election Day is November 8 where Clinton faces off against Republican hopeful Donald Trump.
(This article was first published October 24, 2016 and is as follows.)
Jay Z is scheduled to perform a concert in Cleveland, Ohio in support of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, which is set to happen sometime before the November 8 election day, according to Buzzfeed.
The goal of the event is reportedly to curry the support of young black voters in a state where President Barack Obama squeezed out Democratic victories in 2008 and 2012 after Republican wins in 2000 and 2004. In this election, Clinton is running against GOP candidate Donald Trump. No president has ever won an election without scoring the swing state of Ohio.
Hov has a history of supporting the Democratic party. In 2012, the Hip Hop mogul and Bruce Springsteen headlined a similar concert in Columbus alongside President Obama the night before his reelection.
The Clintons and The Carters have seemingly become closer recently. This spring, the former Secretary of State had high praise for Beyonce’s LEMONADE album. Last month, former president Bill Clinton was in attendance at Hov’s Made in America Music Festival in Philadelphia and shared a few laughs with Mr. and Mrs. Carter backstage as Beyonce celebrated her 35th birthday.

WASHINGTON -- Pension reform sounds like a good idea. But some so-called reforms under consideration in Washington would add to the financial headaches of automakers and suppliers.
The proposal that worries industry executives most is in a Senate pension bill. It would require companies that face downgraded credit ratings to increase their contributions to employee pension funds.
"We just question the wisdom of that," says Dan Brouillette, Ford Motor Co.'s vice president of government affairs.
The proposal would hit Ford and General Motors hard. Credit rating firms have downgraded the securities of both companies to junk or near-junk status. Ford and GM insist they already are funding their employee pension plans fully.
At the very least, employers appear likely to get hit with a sharp increase in the fees they pay to the government agency that insures private pensions.
Congress and the Bush administration are pushing for changes to compel employers to keep pensions funded and to shore up the government's overdrawn insurance program.

Soap veteran Patsy Pease has joined the cast of the Emmy-winning web series The Bay. Set to appear with her Days of our Lives on-screen sister Mary Beth Evans (The Bay's Sara Garrett), Pease makes her appearance in the upcoming fourth season. Widely recognized for her iconic role on Days as Kimberly Brady Donavan, Pease will take on the role of Lola. Viewers can expect an eye-opening revelation when Lola and Sara cross paths in a dangerously confining situation.
When asked about casting Pease for the edgy role, creator, writer and director Gregori J. Martin stated, “Patsy is a very strong actress and will fit in perfectly with our stellar cast.”
