This is a one-time fee, that will be charged to the guest account (incidentals) at the resort upon departure and is also valid to visit all other islands in the Nation Park (Koh rok, koh waen, koh chuek, koh mook, koh libong koh ngai and koh kradan).
Located off the coast of rang in the south - eastern part of Thailand, Koh Kradan forms part of the Hat Chao Mai National Park. Established in 1981 as one of the Thailand's national park reserves, Hat Chao Mai covers more than 230 square kilometres and offers a variety of tropical environments. People have been drawn to the charms of Hat Chao Mai with it being the least developed region in Thailand, and as such it still maintains much of its natural beauty.
:: Getting There ::
The Sevenseas Resort - Koh Kradan is just a short 45 minutes by long tail speedboat from Kuang Toong Gu Pier at Trang on the mainland. Transfers to the pier can be arranged from Phuket, Krabi and Trang airports and hotels.
As transfers are by boat it is important to remember that in the event of bad weather boat will not be able to operate. Also, there is no pier on oh Kradan. You will be required to get in and out of the boat form the beach and as such you will get a little wet. At high tide the boats can pull up directly in front of the resort but low tide they have to head aprox 200m further up the beach.
Boat transfers can be affected by adverse weather conditions which are beyond the control of the resort. Should it be deemed unsafe then boat transfers will not operate. The resort will not be held accountable in the event of such conditions. The resort should be made aware of any guests requiring special assistance.

Ozmageddon Day 2
It's only 4pm but I feel like I've packed three days into one. After being hungover all day yesterday I rallied for the dawn patrol this morning and was in the water by 5am. On the way I ran into Red Bull surf team coach Shane Beschen, Carissa Moore, Sally Fitzgibbons, and Lakey Peterson. We all huddled up near the rocks at Snapper waiting for a break in the sets to paddle out. I got a little impatient and got a bit too close to the edge of the rocks when a bigger set came in and completely lit me up. I almost took out Sally as I tumbled underwater head over heels. "Whoa mate, you okay?" she asked. "Yeah, yeah. I'm fine," said the dumb Seppo.
After finally making it out I saw a stumpy looking figure sitting really deep and quickly realized it was Occy. He must have paddled out at 4:30am. After a couple waves I gave up fighting the current and got swept down to Greenmount and got a few burgers before calling it quits—at 5:45am.
After that we cruised down to the contest site and watched a few heats before another surf this time at Duranbah. It was overhead but kind of wonky with the high tide and wind swell. Hardly all-time Dbah but still loads of fun. Walking back from Dbah I saw two fistfights, both involving teenagers at the event site. I'm not sure why they were scrapping but one kid got his ass kicked pretty good and was bleeding from nose, eye, and forehead. It was right in the middle of the contest site and nobody really batted an eye. Weird.
Putting the fisticuffs behind us, TWS Photo Editor Aaron Checkwood and I met up with John John Florence and his filmer Blake Kueny and bolted down south to a deserted beachbreak where John ripped and I floated around thinking about sharks. Good fun. After lunch they dropped us off at Komune where it was absolutely raging down by the pool. That said, I've surfed three times and did a Cote's Cube interview with John—I deserve a beer. Find me by the pool…

Become an MVP
MVPs are passionate about Microsoft technology and recognized for their exceptional technical expertise, their willingness to help others make the most of their technology, and for making a significant and positive impact on technical communities.
This is no small feat: Of the more than 100 million social and technical community members worldwide, each year only about 3,800 are recognized as MVPs.
MVPs are independent of Microsoft, with separate opinions and perspectives, and are able to represent the views of the community members with whom they engage every day. Potential MVPs are nominated by other technical community members, current and former MVPs, and Microsoft personnel who have noted their community leadership.
There is no set benchmark for becoming an MVP, in part because it varies by product and product life-cycle. Some of the criteria we evaluate include the impact of a nominee's contributions to online forums such as Microsoft Answers, TechNet and MSDN; wikis and online content; conferences and user groups; podcasts, Web sites and blogs; and articles and books.
Each nominee's contributions are compared to other candidates' contributions for the same year. Active MVPs receive the same level of scrutiny as new candidates each year.

Christina and I never brought up marriage much. I just wanted to surprise her. I thought about how to have my friends involved, but not have it too stuffy. So, I finally thought of popping the question from up above with all the friends below.
After a few months of searching for a perfect plane, I found one at at Cape Cod Airport. I set it up and told the pilot what I wanted to do and everything was all set. Now how to get the friends involved (hmmm). A sign! After securing the plane, I bought 75+ feet worth of cloth. I bought a few rollers and some red paint. With 3 days of painting, 3 letters at a time, at work during lunch and afterwards, it was finally done.
There were quite a few friends heading down so I spoke with a few and would not release the details until the night before. We went down on the 4th of July. I gave the sign to another friend as to not have Christina inadvertently 'find' the sign. On the 5th of July I spoke to a person in each of the houses that were staying down there to make sure they were on the beach at 1PM on July 6th (It was a Monday).
I told Christina that we were doing something different that day, something to break away from the norm. The only clue I gave her was that we needed goggles (Red Barron ones which I had previously purchased). We drove down to Cape Cod airport in Marston Mills. I was obviously a little nervous on the way down, but she still did not have a clue.
We pull in to the airfield and said "Surprise!". She was excited but still didn't know what the future had in store. After the pilot strategically places her on the left side of the plane. We take off and what a ride it was.
With binoculars, a walkie talkie (hidden), camera and the ring cramping my backside in the seat, we flew 20 minutes north over the cape, Christina still unsure where we were flying to, we get over Marconi beach area (just south of Cahoon Hallow). All of the friends were at Cahoon Hallow beach at the bottom of the dunes from the Beach Comber. We bank to go north and I secretively start hitting buttons on the walkie talkie. I finally feel it vibrate and I know; 'its on!'. We fly over Cahoon Hallow beach (which seemed to take forever) and I start pointing to Christina saying "Whats that..? There's something down there." With Christina squinting, I give her the binoculars and shes staring off into space. Finally I take the binoculars form her and tell her "Look at the beach". At that moment, the plane makes a hard bank left to circle around and there it was the sign in plane site! 70+ friends holding it on the beach. Her goggles filled up with tears of joy. It took her a minute to realize it was for her... but when she did, I knew I nailed it! Spectacular day!

Dear ScorpioN
I was flicking through channels when I saw an episode of Duck Dodgers that was starring Dave Mustaine! Did someone fake Dave's voice or is that actually Dave's voice?
Hello Brendan,
No, you were not just hearing things. That was indeed the voice of Dave Mustaine, starring as himself. The episode of Duck Dodgers you are referring to is called "In Space, No-one Can Hear You Rock/Ridealong Calamity". It originally aired Saturday, November 5, 2005 on the Cartoon/Boomerang Network. In this episode, the Martians create a weapon to drain energy from Earth's music and use its atomic power to destroy the Earth. Dodgers unfreezes Dave to play enough heavy metal to overload the device. Megaduck rules! Now I've always known Dave was a rock star, but to save the planet as well? My hat is off to you sir!
Duck Dodgers was not Mustaine's only television appearance. He has also been featured on Rock N Roll Jeopardy!,The Drew Carrey Show, Black Scorpion, Behind the Music, I Love the 80s, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Top Ten, Headbanger's Ball, CNN, and several others. Seems he's had quite the TV career!

Dear ScorpioN,
Are there any plans for a 30th anniversary of the "Killing Is My Business...and Business Is Good!" album celebration, like a tour or probably another remaster of the album? I'd like to know.
Many Thanks,
Valentin, Bulgaria
Hello Valentin, just today in fact, Dave Mustaine made a Tweet giving a clue. See below!
I have been working with mixer @MarkLewis720 on a special #KIMB 30th anniversary project. Details soon.

Hello Megadeth! I was just wondering what I should practice as an electric guitarist, songs, scale, and arpeggios. I'm turning 15 June 3rd, so I'm not a god at guitar just want some song suggestions for intermediate players. Thank You! I will be purchasing your new album!
Hello Mark,
Great question and happy to hear you have so much interest in playing the guitar. I went right to Mr. Dave Mustaine himself with your question. here is what he had to say:
"Pick your influences, be careful of the tab that is out there, because most of it is crap, and ask a lot of questions. -Dave Mustaine"
Hope that helps! Keep up the great work!

Hi ScorpioN,
While listening brilliant track "Go To Hell' I've started to wonder who the female voice in the beginning of the song belongs to.
Could you tell me this information please? :)
Alex from Russia
Hi Alex,
The female voice on the track "Go To Hell" is that of David Ellefson's wife. Her maiden name was Julie Foley at the time and that would be her credit on the recording.
Dave Mustaine asked her to do it and was recorded at The Enterprise Studios in Burbank in 1991 for the film soundtrack "Bill and Ted Go To Hell" but was later retitled "Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey".
Ironically, this song released within only a few weeks of Metallica's "Enter Sandman" that contained the same prayer! Neither Megadeth or Metallica knew each other was recording it.

I really love the song "1000 Times Goodbye" from The World Needs a Hero album, and I've been wondering for a long time who is the female voice in it?
Hi Mikaela,
Her name is Heather Keckler, and she was my predecessor in this Q & A section. She worked on megadeth.com for many years as a columnist under different monikers such as "Miss Megadeth" during the Cryptic Writings era, "Catnip" around the time Risk was released, and ultimately she was the "She-Wolf" Q & A columnist, which eventually became my column, the ScorpioN.

Hey ScorpioN
Vic Rattlehead is the greatest mascot of all time in my opinion, but what is he holding on the Rust in Peace cover? It really stands out on my signature VMNT!
Hi Kyle, this question had already been answered in a previous ScorpioN column. I will gladly repost.
"Rust In Peace is my second favorite album, next to The System Has Failed, of course. Band artwork is always fascinating to me, so I was happy to pass along your question.
Dave said, "It's a McDonald's cheeseburger from 1961. Not really, I think it is supposed to be like Kryptonite."
So I guess that means that Vic Rattlehead isn't Superman..."

Dear ScorpioN,
I am a bass player from Edmonton Alberta, Canada, and David Ellefson is one of my favorite players of all time! He is who inspired me to get a Jackson bass because I love the tone of his bass in all the Megadeth albums. My question is this:
How exactly does David achieve his tone? It's really "tinny", really bright and really punchy, but it still has that warm sound to it.
Thank you in advance for answering this!
Hello Kristian, I have an answer for you right from David Ellefson himself.
"Thank you Kristian and glad you're liking what you hear! My tone has evolved over the years but I do try and maintain that tight low end while having that "bite" on the top end to cut through the drums. The Jackson basses with SIT Strings Nickel Powerwound strings, medium heavy Jim Dunlop Tortex plectrums and Hartke amplification certainly help but it is also in how I attack the strings and anchor my hand on the bridge to control the string's performance. You can probably see this more clearly on my Rockhouse Method instructional DVDs and even You Tube videos of live Megadeth performances, too.
I hope this helps and I hope you enjoy your Jackson bass!"

Hello ScorpioN,
Is there an official list of all the songs Megadeth has covered?
Dallas Durbin
Hello Dallas, you can check out the official list of every song Megadeth has ever put out on a Megadeth album, originals and covers, at megadeth.com/lyrics.

Hi ScorpioN,
In the latest video post Dave is seen in front of a dry erase board with the words:
No one will deny me
No one will defy me
No one will define me... .
Are these by any chance lyrics for a new song?
Or is this Dave's mentality and mantra for recording the new album?
Hello Droogie!
I took your question directly to Dave Mustaine and here is what he had to say...
"Words to live and die by. Maybe lyrics...definitely my motto."
There ya have it!
- 04/13/2015
Hi Scorpion,
I've been a huge Megadeth Fan since the 80's. Recently I saw Dave Mustaine on an Episode of Hell's Kitchen (which I am a fan of as well). I was curious as to how that experience was for him.
Hi Jay,
Dave Mustaine and his wife Pam were indeed guests on an episode of Hell's Kitchen which aired earlier this month. I went to Dave Mustaine himself with your question and this is what he had to say.
"We were very excited to go, the show was great, Gordon was brilliant, and we are happy to have seen a genius chef at work.
The competitors got their heads handed to them and rightly so. My face said it all when they asked me what I thought about the food."
There ya have it! ...and I am certainly glad I wasn't on the menu! You never know with Chef Gordon Ramsay!

Hi Scorpion,
Thanks for the archives which is full of interesting questions and answers. My question is, What is the meaning of the sign on Cryptic Writings album?
Hello Sifat,
It is called a "Veve". It was a style of writing warnings and notices for what we would call "homeless travelers" or "hobos". They indicate safety as well as danger, shelter, etc.
Here's what Dave Mustaine had to say regarding the cover soon after the album was released:
"It's called a veve [pronounced vay vay]... It's a voodoo symbol... It means that you can enter into a premises, that it's safe and there is no poison. It's a warning telling you where you can and can not go. It's also a direction. Most of the hobos were people who practiced voodoo. They would go from building to building whether it was a shanty or it was a shack. They would go in there and they'd find chalk writings on the wall that told them if it was a safe place. It was usually done with a burnt stick... When I first got the artwork back it was littered with voodoo symbols and all kinds of stuff. I told them that it was too heavy. I didn't want anything on there that would give homage to pagan gods and shit like that. I want it to be about the music. As it is, that symbol right there, we don't really know exactly what the combination of everything is. We know pretty much what the breakdown of each symbol is but it's like crossing different kinds of medications. You take two separate medications and they have a different and combined effect. There might be something where those symbols counter another symbol and turn it into something else."

In the song "Hook in Mouth", there are references to a P.M.R.C. What is the PMRC?
Hi Drew,
The song Hook in Mouth is about censorship, and it is basically aimed at the P.M.R.C. P.M.R.C is an acronym for Parents Music Resource Center. It was founded in America in the mid-1980's by Tipper Gore, to quote "alert the public of the growing trend in music towards lyrics that are sexually explicit, excessively violent, or glorify the use of drugs and alcohol." Essentially we have the P.M.R.C, and Mrs. Gore of course, to thank for the vile "Parental Advisory/Explicit Lyrics" stickers.

The music video "Breadline", what was the inspiration behind it
Hello Lynda,
"Breadline" is about when Dave Mustaine and David Ellefson used to have to drive downtown everyday past the soup kitchens and they would see the derelicts out in the street with their shopping carts. They realized that if they didn't make it soon they would be one of them because they were running out of options and they had no other choice but to make it or die trying.

Studio update #8 which is posted on youtube during the recording of Super Collider, there is a song that is played at the start. I want to know is this just dave practicing or was this turned into a song then taken out before release? I always looked forward to seeing what this song would turn into and I am curious to know if it was indeed a song and why it didnt make its way into the album.
Hello Arka, the riffage that Dave is playing to the click track at the beginning of the Studio update #8 video, 0:00 - 0:17, is what would become the song "A House Divided" from the album "Super Collider". Is is a bonus track on the extended version of the album. Great song!!!

Hi ScorpioN
I always wanted to know about the meaning of "So Far, So Good... So What!" 's title and why Dave called it like this!
Thank you
Riccardo, Italy
Hello Riccardo,
I sent your question over to Dave Mustaine himself. This is what he had to say.
"It's just an added sarcasm I made to the end of an encouraging saying. There is no other meaning...I was just being a brat!"
...and there you have it! Great question!

I was wondering about the Hangar 18 video. What is that footage from? A sci fi movie? I have tried to find it but have probably looked in the wrong places. The only other answer I can come up with is that its film created by Megadeth specifically for that video.
You are right, the footage was created by Megadeth and director Paul Boyington. You can hear comments from both Daves about the making of Hangar 18 on the Rusted Pieces home video, which I will translate here:
Mustaine: The making of Hangar 18 was really elaborate, as far as the people that were involved. There's a lot of creatures, a lot of makeup, a lot of special effects, miniaturization..
In this video, the creatures that were used, they were quite numerous. There was all kinds of variations from just normal makeup to prosthetic makeup, where they put plastic on you, and they had all different kinds of helmets and masks that they were wearing.
Ellefson: Director Paul Boyington's specialty is building miniature sets, in fact he's done it for some commercials, and for special effects in movies, building entire cities in miniature, like 2-3 feet high miniatures and then having a robotic arm with a camera on the end swooping through the city, and you're going to see a lot of that kind of effect in the Hangar 18 video here, in fact there's a segment right in the very beginning where there's some cattle mutilation, there's dead cattle, there's a comet superimposed coming through in the background...
We shot for two days to actually get the band shots, at a power plant, which supplies about one third of the power to all of Los Angeles, down by the beach...Richard Schnell, who actually created the characters and did all the makeup for the aliens, had us painted white, and then put kind of like a water-based white makeup all over us, and we had to wear these contact lenses. I personally had never worn contact lenses before and I hate the things. Anyway we were put in the four cryogenic chambers in the end and (they) were put onto a cart which was towed by a couple of people down this track, it's at the very end of the video...eyes were killing us, freezing cold...the fun of making videos.

I have been a fan of Megadeth since I was a young boy. I have been playing guitar bass and drums for many years now and I was wondering if you could pass this along to David Ellefson. When I play bass I use his signature concert bass by Jackson but I have went through several amps and just cannot get a sound that I like. I was wondering if he had any advice on putting a rig together and what would be some combinations that would work well to play Megadeth and other metal bands music. I really hope he gets this I'm really at a crossroads and need some help and I wouldn't dream to ask any other person.
Thanks in advance Tom
Hi Tom, David Ellefson read your email and asked that I get back to you with the following advice.
As for the bass sounds, tone is always in the hands and how the player attacks and fingers the notes. With that said, David uses a medium heavy gauge pick, anchoring his hand on the bridge, and also fingers the notes on the fingertips for the least amount of skin contact and clarity.
For gear, David always suggests the Jackson basses and Hartke amplifiers as they have been a staple of Megadeth recordings (studio and live) for many years. His signature line of basses have fast thin necks and have EMG pickups to replicate the active sounds of the legacy. The Hartke LH500 or LH1000 amplifier heads are really simple and sound fantastic! He uses the HyDrive cabinets live but often prefers the articulate tone of the XL series aluminum cone speaker cabinets.
Hope that helps! Let us know how it goes.

Hi ScorpioN,
I was just wondering what acoustic Dave is using in this video from 2001. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rwQujLNQyV0. I couldn't really read it clearly.
Also does Dave use/still have any other acoustics other than his signatures?
(Come visit Scotland soon wee miss you)
Hi Dale, the acoustic guitar Dave Mustaine was using in the video that you have linked to, from a Musique Plus acoustic performance in Quebec in 2001, was a Tacoma. The guitar was given to Dave and he didn't like it much and ended up eventually giving it away. Tacoma Guitars was a line of musical instruments from Fender Musical Instruments Corporation. Tacoma brand guitars were originally manufactured in Tacoma, Washington. Fender eventually shut down manufacturing of Tacoma products, and new stock is unavailable to dealers.

I am wondering. Has Risk(1999) ever been released on vinyl?
Hello, in fact the album Risk was never officially released on vinyl. Check out some Risk release info posted at www.discogs.com/Megadeth-Risk/master/33026.
- 12/08/2014
Hello! I was wondering if there was any meaning behind the phrase "4 in the morning" in Dave's lyrics. Take the lines:
"It's four in the morning" - Wake Up Dead
"It's four in the morning and I still see your face" - Almost Honest
Thanks! =
The lyric "four in the morning" does in fact have meaning behind it. Four in the morning is supposed to be the time that the most demonic activity is taking place in the unseen world. It is also the supposed "Darkest Hour". As well, Dave Mustaine's insomnia strikes every night at 4 am! This is a fact.
Great question!
- 12/01/2014
Hey Scorps,
Got a question for the lord and savior for all metal bass players: David Ellefson
Back in the KIMB era David played with his fingers (I'm a finger style player as well) and I really enjoy playing that stuff, what brand of strings did Mr Ellefson use back then (if he played with fingers or pick) I tried a lot of strings before and attempting to play with pick and fingers.
I found out that DRs are too heavy for finger play and Rotosound not durable enough for pick.
So would be awesome to know what brand David used to play.
W. Baeten
Hello W!
David used Rotosound Swing Bass strings during that period. He initially played with fingers when Megadeth was formed but he moved over to a pick full time by the time the band was into the KIMB era.
- 11/18/2014
Hi ScorpioN,
I want to ask David Ellefson or whoever knows, is there a prototype of his signature Jackson concert bass guitar, designed for left-handed people, and if yes, where i can find it ?
Thank you!
David Ellefson doesn't have a prototype of the signature model as a lefty but Jackson will likely offer a left handed model bass in the near future.
Hope that helps!

I was watching a video of the song The Right To Go Insane. I suppose it is about Shawn Nelson, is that true??? And what are that graves on the beginning of the video (there is inscription "beloved father and beloved mother" on it) and on the end of the video (with inscription "vic rattlehead 1952-1995")???
Hello, yes this is true, the "The Right To Go Insane" video is based on Shawn Nelson's tank rampage.
"Shawn Timothy Nelson (August 21, 1959 – May 17, 1995) was a U.S. Army veteran and unemployed plumber who stole an M60A3 Patton tank from a United States National Guard Armory in San Diego, California, and went on a rampage on May 17, 1995, destroying cars, fire hydrants, and a recreational vehicle before being shot and killed by police."
The two graves at the beginning of the video represent Nelson's mother and father who both died of cancer in 1992.
The Vic Rattlehead grave at the end is a representation of the one who drove the tank through the video. It is fictitious, and is why the dates of Nelson's death don't exactly match what is on the Vic headstone.

Hey Scorpion !
Megadeth is my favorite band since I was just 3 years old, thanks to my dad a great metalhead, I'm 14 now and I'm still trying to know what's "MD.45"
I searched in some places one the internet, but they have different information! So I asked my dad what's "MD.45", he said that it was a solo band of Dave
Mustaine. Can you explain me what was that ??
Thanks and congratz for the great work that you have done so far !
Gonçalo Marques, Portugal.
Hello Gonçalo
MD.45 was indeed a solo/side project for Dave Mustaine. The album "The Craving" was released in 1996, and features Dave on guitar, Lee Ving of Fear on vocals, Kelly Lemieux of Goldfinger on bass, and future Megadeth drummer Jimmy DeGrasso. The name was a play on Dave and Lee's initials, 'MD' (Mustaine Dave) and 45, the translation of Roman numerals 'VL' or 'XVL' (Ving Lee). In 2004, "The Craving" was included in the Capitol Records remasters of Megadeth's back catalog, released with three bonus songs and Dave's re-recorded vocal tracks. The remastered version of the album is still in print and available online at Amazon.com.

To David I ask...
What would your Favorite Bass be?
As you play a lot on your Jackson range but do you have a FAVORITE bass?
Thanks again The Scorpion, You rock!
Sincerely, Orian, AKA Zac "The Stripper" Solomon
Hello Orian, David was happy to provide an answer for you question!
"My Jacksons are the perfect fit for Megadeth live shows and certain recordings.
But I also have some studio faves as well, like my Spector NS2 (used on the Cryptic Writings album), Modulus Quantum 5 and 78 Fender Pbass (both used on the Youthanasia album).
So my faves are all the above!"

Dear ScorpioN
I have a question about the intro to 'Blackmail the Universe'. Can you tell me who the female voice reading the news broadcast belongs to?
Jack from England
Hello Jack,
Celeste Amber Montague is the female voice you hear reading the news broadcast at the beginning of the song "Blackmail The Universe". Celeste is a professional newscaster in Phoenix, Arizona and was a friend of Dairen Bennett, who is the voice of the General in the song and also a friend of Dave Mustaine's. This is how she was brought into do the spot on the song.
Our nation stands at DEFCON 3!

In the Holy Wars... The Punishment Due (Casey McMackin demo), who exactly is Casey McMackin?
Hello there, Casey McMackin is a music engineer/producer who has worked since the early 80's on many albums including Megadeth, Motorhead, Exodus and more. He is credited as the audio engineer on Megadeth's 1986 release, "Peace Sells… But Who's Buying" on which he is also credited for additional vocals on "Good Mourning/Black Friday" and "My Last Words".
David Ellefson talks about Casey in David's recent autobiography "My Life With Deth".
"After that tour [February '86 USA east coast - technically second leg of Killing Is My Business tour] we started putting plans together to record Peace Sells… at the Music Grinder studio on Melrose Avenue in Hollywood. The recording was contractually still with Combat Records, our label at the time. We had a $25,000 budget from them this time, so we could put ourselves on small salaries. It also allowed us to bring in an outside producer, Randy Burns. He and his engineer Casey McMackin worked fast and furious on the album. Casey was an excited young lad who spent a long time running through guitar bass tones with us and offering suggestions on parts and revisions—in many ways, responding like a producer."
"Holy Wars... The Punishment Due" (Casey McMackin Demo) was previously unreleased before being released on Megadeth's 2007 "Warchest" Box Set. You can check out the track at this YouTube link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJ1Y95ZxRG4

Green Rules to Drive Innovation
Daniel C. Esty; Steve Charnovitz
Price: $6.93
Incoherent U.S. energy and climate policies have cast a pall over the entire economy and are putting U.S. companies at a serious global disadvantage. The authors offer 10 prescriptions for reforms, two of which they describe in detail. First, they argue that the U.S. should impose a gradually increasing carbon charge; this would help internalize environmental costs, drive investment in energy efficiency, encourage innovation in renewable power, and raise substantial revenues that could reduce the national debt. Second, they say, the government should curb or redirect unwise energy subsidies and increase funding for clean-energy R&D. Environmental stewardship need not be an economic burden, they emphasize; on the contrary, investing in sustainability can enhance corporate and national competitiveness.
Subjects Covered:
Energy policy; Environmental regulations; Green business; Innovation; National competitiveness; Sustainability

Deck the halls with boughs of turquoise? … coral? … how about black? The traditional color scheme of red and green no longer has a lock on holiday palettes. Increasingly, we're celebrating the season with a wide range of colors – from nostalgic to fashion-forward to edgy.
"Christmas continues to have fewer and fewer traditional elements, and that includes less red and green," Michelle Lamb, editorial director of the trade newsletter The Trend CurveTM, which forecasts trends in color, pattern and design for manufacturers, interior designers and retailers.
Turquoise, the Pantone 2010 Color of the Year, will be a big player this holiday season, predicts Tina Wilcox, CEO and creative director of Black: A Retail Brand Agency. "Expect to see more of that color as a substitute for green."
There's also a new red in town for the holidays, says Bonnie Marcus, designer, the Bonnie Marcus Collection, of fashion-infused invitations and greeting cards. Instead of holly red, "it's more of a coral red, softer, with more orange." Paired with lime instead of the classic pine green, it's a fresh spin on the familiar pairing.
Lamb is seeing lots of berry and mauve tones for the holidays, a vintage palette that evokes the Victorian era. "There's a lot going on with nostalgia," she says.
Another popular palette this holiday season, according to Lamb, is off-white complemented by light metallics, such as champagne gold and soft copper, and pearlescent finishes rather than hard shiny ones. Mixed finishes, such as matte with luster, will also be on ample display.
And the black Christmas décor that started emerging a few years ago is now moving into the mainstream. "Black and white has been one of the hottest combinations for fashion and home, and a lot of vendors are promoting it for the holidays," says Wilcox, who displayed a black holiday tree at her agency last year.
Black is no longer considered too gloomy and macabre for the festive season, says Lamb. Instead, it's taking on the role during the holidays that it's long played in year-round fashion. "Black is viewed as less-funeral and more like a little black dress," she says.
Instead of pairing it with white, Lamb likes it with other deep colors, such as midnight blue and dark peacock, a look she calls "Soiree Noir." "It's not for everybody, but it's really sophisticated and dramatic."
Other fashion-forward influences moving into the holiday sphere include neon brights, plaids, paisleys and leopard prints, says Marcus, whose holiday card featuring a leopard-print high-heeled pump is one of her best sellers. "It's the economy," she says. "For the past few years, fun, fashion-driven stationery has been really hot." Those who can't splurge on expensive shoes can still feel fashion-forward buying a card, she says.
But the holiday pendulum continues to swing, and Lamb thinks traditional holiday colors will mount a strong comeback by 2012. "Our interest in nostalgia will bring back red and green," she predicts.
The meaning of holiday hues
Christmas: Red and green have been associated with the holiday for centuries. To early Christians, the colors had religious significance. Green represented the evergreen tree, symbolizing the eternal life of Jesus Christ, while red symbolized the blood shed during his crucifixion.
Hanukkah: The holiday itself, does not have traditional colors, but blue, white and silver are commonly associated with it. Making up the colors of the Israeli flag, blue and white have become the traditional colors for Judaism as a whole.
Chinese New Year: Red and gold are the traditional colors of this Buddhist celebration. Red symbolizes good luck in the coming year, while gold symbolizes wealth and happiness.
Kwanzaa: The holiday celebrating African community and culture has three hues: black for the people, red for their struggle and green for their hopes for the future.
Islam:A star and crescent moon often are used to represent the Muslim faith, as well as its holy days. The color green has a special place in Islam and is often found in mosques. Some say it was Muhammad's favorite color; others believe it symbolizes life.
Hinduism: Color has deep meaning and significance in the Hindu faith. Some of the main hues used in religious ceremonies and celebrations are red, symbolizing sensuality and purity; saffron, the most sacred color, representing fire; green, the color of life and happiness; and yellow, the color of knowledge.

'Into the Woods' Blu-ray Bonus Features Complete List
Ahead of any official announcement, the British Board of Film Classification has enumerated the bonus features we can expect to see on Into the Woods when it hits Blu-ray and DVD, although to those following news closely, there won't be too many surprises, just a few new details. Amazon had begun listing Into the Woods with a release date of March 24, 2015 on Blu-ray and DVD, but has since backed off that date. An official announcement from Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment has yet to be made regarding the release.
LEGO Ideas 'Wall-E' Model by Angus MacLane Approved for Production
Earlier today, LEGO Ideas announced that the LEGO version of Wall-E that was submitted to its community for consideration to become an actual LEGO production set has been approved. After reaching 10,000 community supporters back in July of 2014 — which in it of itself is no small feat — the proposed model was then passed on to the review board to consider the feasibility of the project, which of course would include Disney's own blessings. The announcement today, which also included a 'Dr. Who' themed set among several other applicants that didn't make the cut, confirmed that LEGO Wall-E will soon find its way on the shelf, although LEGO says it's too soon to share any further details about the project. Hopefully the model will be on display at LEGO's collector's event at New York Toy Fair which takes place later this month as they did with the Ghostbusters Ecto-One set, another LEGO Ideas graduate.

Arizona Cardinals
Cardinals vs. Packers: The matchup
|Points per game
|Passing yards per game
|Rushing yards per game
|Total yards per game
|Points against
|Passing yards per game against
|Rushing yards per game against
|Total yards per game against
When Cardinals have the ball:
The ball doesn't usually end up in the end zone.
Well, lately that is.
Until this season, the Cardinals hadn't scored three points or less in a game since Nov. 2004.
In two of their last four games -- all losses -- the Redbirds have managed to score just three points.
It's easy to point to the recent uninspiring play of John Skelton, a porous offensive line or the lack of depth the Cardinals currently have in their run game, as reasons for the recent run of futility. All of the above have been major issues, but undoubtedly its been a collective struggle -- one that won't necessarily be fixed overnight or with a trip to Green Bay this weekend.
Look, the Packers' defense by no means even resembles the unit the Cardinals went up against Monday night against the 49ers.
With that said, St. Louis, Buffalo and Minnesota weren't exactly world beaters in their own right. And all three managed to stifle Arizona's best laid plans on offense.
While Green Bay's defense is anchored by linebackers A.J. Hawk and Clay Matthews, Skelton and Co.'s biggest issue Sunday might be against the Packers' opportunistic secondary.
It's no secret Arizona's only legitimate weapon on offensive is All-Pro wideout Larry Fitzgerald. And yet he has struggled to get the ball the past two weeks, catching just nine passes for 81 yards. Now, a lot of that can be attributed to poor pass protection, but that won't be the case against the Packers. Even without veteran Charles Woodson this weekend, Green Bay features two talented cornerbacks in Tramon Williams (41 tackles and 2 INT) and rookie Casey Hayward (25 tackles and 4 INT).
If Fitzgerald or Andre Roberts (36 catches for 454 yards) fail to create separation against the Pack, look for tight end Rob Housler to be Skelton's main target Sunday. Housler comes into Week 9 with 11 catches for 98 yards over his last three games.
LaRod Stephens-Howling is coming off his roughest appearance of the season. Though limited to just eight rushes, Stephens-Howling amassed a grand total of six yards. He was, however, effective in the Cardinals' passing game against San Francisco, catching three passes for 32 yards.
If recent history is any indication, he may have even more success against the Packers. In their 24-15 win over the Jaguars, Green Bay gave up 12 catches for 172 yards to Jacksonville's backfield duo of Cecil Shorts III and Rashad Jennings.
In the end, the Cardinals can game plan all they want in an effort to find ways to exploit an average Packers' defense, it won't matter if the offensive line doesn't continue to show signs of improvement.
During Monday's 24-3 loss to the 49ers, the offensive line gave up just four sacks. Four is still an awful lot, but it's a sign of improvement.
In a game where offense will be paramount, the Cardinals will need a near flawless effort from their front five. Against an NFC favorite on the road, well, that may be too tough a task to ask for at this point.
When the Packers have the ball:
The Packers offense starts and ends with No. 12.
Aaron Rodgers, the league's MVP, might not have the same awe-inspiring numbers he did at this point last season, but he's pretty darn close.
Across almost every major statistical category -- quarterback rating, yards passing, touchdowns, completion percentage -- Rodgers is ranked in the Top 5.
The Packers have had their fair share of injuries this season, with wide receivers Greg Jennings (collarbone), Jordy Nelson (hamstring) and Donald Driver (groin) all missing time.
Through the first five weeks of the season, the offense struggled without some of the team's reliable big-play threats.
But of late, Rodgers has righted the ship, throwing for 866 yards and 11 touchdowns during the Packers' current three-game win streak.
With the absence of Driver and Jennings this season, Rodgers has relied more heavily on James Jones and second-year wideout Randall Cobb.
In 2012, Jones has 36 catches and a team-high seven touchdowns. While Cobb leads the team with 42 receptions to go along with four touchdown catches.
The run game hasn't run as smoothly, however. The Packers haven't had a 1,000-yard rusher since Ryan Grant achieved the feat for the second consecutive year back in 2009.
From the looks of it, they'll have to wait another year for the next one at Lambeau Field. Free agent running back Cedric Benson proved to be an admirable fill-in in the backfield until going down in a Week 5 loss to the Colts. The team's third round draft pick from 2011, Alex Green, has picked up the slack in Benson's absence. But let's be honest, Green Bay hasn't been winning games with their run game for years and 2012 is no different.
The Cardinals just allowed a season-high 24 points to San Francisco and made Alex Smith -- 18-for-19 with 232 yards passing -- look a lot like a fellow member of his 2005 draft class, Rodgers.
Arizona will actually be up against Rodgers on Sunday, and don't be surprised if one of the league's most efficient passers looks to have a field day.
With plenty of weapons at his disposal, even if the likes of Nelson and tight end Jermichael Finley are unable to suit up, Rodgers will likely light up at the site of the Redbirds.
After all, back in 2009, he threw for 423 yards and four touchdowns in a Wild Card loss to Arizona. Different defense? Sure. Same result? Probably.
If there is one concern for the Pack it's been in pass protection. While the Cardinals will have no sympathy for anyone else's offensive line woes, Green Bay is second to Arizona in sacks allowed with 28.

On Jan. 14, a kick-off celebration will be held at the Fairfield Inn and Suites in Elkin from 6-8 p.m. for the American Cancer Society's annual fundraiser, Relay For Life, which will be held in Elkin in May.
Individuals, families, community groups, corporations and small businesses who are committing their Relay For Life team are invited to attend and sign up.
The Relay for Life is a 12-hour overnight event when teams assemble and relay to help raise money to fight cancer. The event will be held on May 3rd at Elkin High School starting at 6 p.m. and ending 6 a.m. am the next morning. It's routine for participants to keep at least one team member in the relay during the entire evening and early morning hours.
The Relay for Life is the major volunteer-driven fundraising event, according to the American Cancer Society. They state it has raised billions of dollars since its founding in 1985.
Locally, the event raised $44,512 last year with 19 teams registered, according to Angie H Wagoner, community manager of the Alleghany and Surry County Division for the American Cancer Society, Inc. This year, the cancer fighting organization is striving for a new goal of $52,500 and hopes to get 26 teams.
"Just as the effects of a challenging economy are felt by families in every community, cancer, too, has a far-reaching impact," said Wagoner. "No matter how the stock market is performing or what the current unemployment rate may be, there are still many people battling a cancer diagnosis and many others who are lending support alongside loved ones every day."
According to the association, local volunteers are a huge part of a nationwide effort to save lives from cancer, but additional people are needed for the progress to continue.
"The money raised at Relay enables the American Cancer Society to deliver on its mission of helping people stay well, helping people get well, finding cures and fighting back against the disease," continued Wagoner to The Tribune. "The Relay provides the Society with money to support vital, cutting-edge cancer research, publishes lifesaving literature on cancer prevention, detection and tobacco control, and develops a new generation of medicines that help those battling cancer."
To sign up, participate or learn how you may volunteer, call 1-800-227-2345, or visit RelayForLife.org/surryfoothillsnc. You can contact your Community Manager, Angie Wagoner at 276-728-8939 if you have any questions.

Recent Expedition Pack (4,500+ cu in) Reviews
Gregory Deva 85
Very comfortable pack that can carry a heavier load and fit smaller (petite) lady hikers (xs size). As a petite (5'2") hiker, I was having a tough time finding a pack that fit comfortably. Tried men's small, but the fit was wrong. I needed a pack to carry lots of gear up Mt. Rainier and extended hikes and this pack sealed the deal. It fit my short torso comfortably, like a glove (xs frame option). First, it is a little heavier than most packs due to padding on the waist, back, and shoulders, but… Full review
Arc'teryx Bora 80
In this world of ultralight BPing gear is there still a place for this 7-lb beast? Answer, "Oh hell yeah!" I bought this pack when they were still made in Canada. It is not made of the lighter waterproof materials that I've read about in some reviews. So what? That's why they make dry bags and pack covers. The benefits of the older Bora 80s is they are virtually indestructible. Let me put it to you like this and I'll let you ponder the implications of having something that weighs a couple of pounds… Full review
Arc'teryx Bora 95
Great large capacity pack that is excellent in cold wet/snowy weather. I've put this pack through some interesting situations. Once, I wanted to camp out on an island on a river so I threw the full pack on an inner tube and swam across the river to the island. Along the way the pack was about 1/4 submerged. When I unpacked, everything was dry. Another time I brought the pack up a frozen river with a bunch of small, frozen-over cascades. On the way out, I rode the pack down the iced river on a… Full review
Lowe Alpine Morning Star 75L+
Large single compartment, no frills, no extras, water resistant pack. Does the job well but offers little in access points. Fit: Fits well and fits a variety of sizes. I've lent the pack to others over the past several years and everyone has said that it was a good ride. Comfort: I find the pack is very comfortable. The hip and shoulder straps don't look like much but they have a pretty firm closed cell foam core that works pretty well. Capacity: This pack holds a surprising amount. It expands… Full review
Osprey Crescent 85
Great pack for extended trips. Places majority of weight on the hips. Very comfortable and very durable. It is my current go to pack. Fit: Form fitted foam for the hips. Shoulder straps are very comfortable. I bought the pack used and did not get it re-fitted but the pack is still fantastic. I think the pack distributes a bit too much to the hips and my hips were sore for the first two days of a week-long trip. If I get the hips re-molded, I think it will solve the problem. Comfort: Minus the… Full review
Gregory Palisade 80
Finally used this for something beyond car camping. Went on a 4-day backpacking trip with son and a few others from his Boy Scout Troop. Pack was comfortable and a bottomless pit. Four-day backpacking trip with son's Boy Scout Troop and the Gregory Palisade 80 took everything I had ... even when I fell on it. It carried my gear and a good bit of the Troop gear with room to spare. The articulating hip belt made the pack feel like it wasn't even there at times even though it weighed in well over 45… Full review
The North Face Renegade
I really really love this pack!!! Bought it in the mid '90s and I still have it and use it. Has traveled with me through Europe, Middle East, and exploring the Annapurna Range in Nepal's Himalayas — has never let me down yet. Now using it hiking, camping, backpacking with my sons and with their scout troop. It outperforms many of the new packs being used. Have looked at other packs but none match up to this one. Its like your first love or car, you love them forever!!! Full review
Lowe Alpine Netherworld 90
Great pack!!!!! I bought this pack used but in great condition about 6 years ago. It has been virtually indestructible. I have been on at least 70 overnighters and weekend trips with it and it is still going strong. I love all of the outside pockets and it has enough room to go on long hauls. It has not had a tear once and I have gone under and through some fairly thick stuff. The only thing I didn't like about this pack was there is no padding above the waistbelt. During the summer this was actually… Full review
REI New Star
I highly recommend this pack if you can find one used in good shape. Big enough for a long trip, not so big it isn't practical for a weekend. Well made and long lasting (mine finally quit after 19 years and 800+ miles). I bought my New Star two years used in 1997. It had seen some trail time then. Over the next 18 years, I added over 700 miles of use to it from there. The hip strap finally broke (actually only the plastic insert broke, the nylon and padding was OK; I finished two days and 16 miles… Full review

Midwest Living Review
The Clay County Historical Society's Austin-Whittemore Home is a beautiful repository of Vermillion history. The 1880s Italian villa-style home contains period Victorian furniture and artifacts documenting the regional history. Cleo Erickson, who was instrumental in turning the home into a museum, starts the museum tour with an overview of the home's history (deeply entwined with Vermillion's history). She also tells the story of how owner Arthur Whittemore, the famous pianist of musical duo Whittemore and Lowe, agreed to donate the home. After Erickson's initial overview, she sets guests free to peruse. It's in excellent shape and jam-packed with interesting artifacts. There is a room given entirely to the history of the Austin-Whittemore family and relics from the time they lived there: old eyeglasses, surveyor maps, clothing and home decor. Some rooms overflow with historical pieces and seem cluttered; visitors might pass those in favor of rooms with better-marked items that reflect a clearer time-period. But those that dig in will be rewarded with interesting information. The museum is open weekdays or by appointment. Free admission.

Anyways, I'm called the way I am because it's allowed when one or both parents are not-Hungarian... lucky me

The Mad Collector wrote:Any children are named after the father so if dad is called Sven for example then male children have the surname Svenson and females are Svendottir and you don't change your surname when married. This means that mother, father and two children can easily have four different surnames.

There are three furnished show homes in the middle of the exhibition, and wandering around, there were quite a few pretty things that caught my eye. When I looked each one up on the source list, almost all of them were from French Connection. I had no idea French Connection even had a homeware line. Having since perused their website, I'm even more smitten, and the price points are reasonable too. Very exciting. Here are a few of my picks:
Clockwise from top left:
Coffee table - £320 // Square rug - £155 // Wall lamp - £95 // Bookcase - £310 // Bench - £320 // Rug - £125 // Chair - £350 // Desk lamp - £115 // Side table - £155 // Straw bowl - £24 // Vase - £30
The show homes were steel-framed modular construction, which can be erected and rendered, ready to move into, within ten days of arriving at a site. I love this idea, and I am really drawn to this floor plan, from House Beautiful Homes, which I think cost around £170K (plus land, obviously):
I love the equal-sized kids bedrooms, and the fact that you could make that downstairs bedroom a little studio flat and let it out. I imagine it would be near impossible to find land to build on around where we live, but I'm definitely going to look into it. It's got a lot more appeal than renovating an old place and all the stress that would incur.
Here are a few other companies/shops I came across that stood out:
Penelope Taylor (mainly cushions)
Kirath Ghundoo (wallpapers)
Finally, there were a few convertible desk/beds on display, but I wasn't keen on the aesthetics of the ones at the show. It's a great space-saving idea though, and I like this simple design that I've since found from John Strand (which is £1620, in case you were curious):

There are no current guidelines for the prevention of systemic lupus erythematosus because the cause is unknown. The only known risk factors are things that can't be modified, such as gender, age, family history, and ethnic background.

text: Business Articles The H-2B program was designed to legally and temporarily supply immigrant workers to American industries that struggle with labor shortages, especially those in the service areas (hotels, restaurants) as well as seasonal businesses. So now, with a lagging economy and unemployment rates reaching record highs, the need for the program no longer exists, right? Wrong. More

Let this be a testament to Web 2.0 and the effectiveness of rapid development frameworks: I built a full-featured dating website (http://mingle2.com), from concept to launch, in 66.5 hours. In a typical 9-5 job this would amount to about a week and a half. Deliverables included: the idea, planning, design, development, testing, and launch.
The study is broken up into the (long list of) key steps that were followed:
- Identify an Opportunity
- Brain-dump
- Generate ideas from your competition
- Brain-dump some more
- Have a specific goal, don't try to make the website do everything
- Keep. It. Simple. Stupid
- Minimize interference
- Avoid "feature creep"
- Web 2.0 names are going to be very tacky in a few years
- If you get stuck on something, put it on the backburner
- Prioritize features so you can give prominent real estate to those that need it
- Put a lot of work into the functional mockups
- Mix it up, keep things interesting
