I am a composer of band music and I published it using the Finale method. There are many other composers who have used Finale or Sibelius to publish their music and it is very difficult to let conductors know about our music, without appearing to be spamming, which we are not. For this reason, I started a Yahoo group for people like me, so that directors can go to our site and find composers, they otherwise would not know about. The links section of this site lists many composers and their music. Thank you.

Yeah, it's hard man... I mean, your best shot is always producing the music yourself with some sampled orchestra like EWSO and moving it through taxi.com or something like that... or win some prize submitting it to a contest.

Ferguson: Messi is a legend
Sir Alex Ferguson paid tribute to Lionel Messi, comparing him to players such as Pele, Diego Maradona, Johann Cruyff and Alfredo Di Stefano.
The Manchester United manager's praise came after Messi claimed the Ballon d'Or for the third consecutive year, beating team-mate Xavi and Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo to the title.
Messi, man of the match in the Champions League final in 2011, also won the Spanish league, Spanish Supercopa, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup last year.
Ferguson, himself the recipient of the FIFA presidential award for services to football, said Messi could now be judged alongside the greats of world football through the ages, even though he is still only 24.
"Critics have always questioned whether players like Pele from the 50s could play today," said Ferguson.
"The answer to that is great players would play in any generation. Lionel Messi could play in the 1950s and the present day, as could Di Stefano, Pele, Maradona, Cruyff because they are all great players.
"Lionel Messi without question fits into that category."
Ferguson would know about Messi's abilities, having had his side outclassed by Messi in two separate Champions League Finals in three years.
Messi masterminded Barcelona's victory over Manchester United in 2009, setting up Samuel Eto'o for his side's first goal before scoring one more himself to seal the match 2-0.
The Argentinean then struck again two years later, scoring the second goal in Barcelona's 3-1 win at Wembley and winning the Man of the Match award.

Richard Lapchick had just moved to Central Florida in 1997 when he got a call from Brian France. He wanted to get together to chat.
"My goal is to make NASCAR look like America," France told Lapchick when they met.
It was a perfect fit: France was in line to take over the reins of NASCAR from his father, Bill France Jr. Lapchick was the nation's leading voice on diversity in sports.
Fast-forward to the here and now: Lapchick's organization has done more diversity training with NASCAR than with any other sports groups, including NBA and NFL teams and colleges. At one point, NASCAR hit a stretch of five consecutive years of diversity training with every employee.
This context is necessary as NASCAR and Lapchick are back in business, this time for some one-on-one training.
Lapchick, director of the Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sports at the University of Central Florida, will work directly with suspended Nationwide driver Jeremy Clements before Clements is allowed back on the track.
Clements is under indefinite suspension for making what NASCAR officials called an ''intolerable and insensitive remark'' during the course of an interview before last weekend's Nationwide race at Daytona international Speedway. He used the n-word in a casual conversation with an MTV blogger in the garage area.
Some observers have screamed that NASCAR has overreacted and overstepped its bounds. That would not be me. All these hours of diversity training don't mean a thing if there aren't consequences for anyone who crosses the line.
"NASCAR adopted a zero-tolerance policy," Lapchick said. "What he said was inappropriate and wrong but you have to have that chance for redemption. I'm a strong believer in that."
Lapchick will spend an hour with Clements one-on-one on March 13. Clements will then work with other members of Lapchick's team for three or four hours.
"It will be an open and frank discussion," Lapchick said. "We don't try to be accusatory. We try to open up a person to seeing things differently."
Clements, 28, certainly seems up to that challenge. He has been apologetic and contrite.
''It's really unfortunate that he chose to make that decision at that time to use that language,'' Dale Earnhardt Jr. said after the incident was publicized. "'I don't like it and there's no room for that in my life. It's just unfortunate that had to happen to him. I hope he can get that sorted out. It just looks bad on the sport. One person's mistake looks bad on a lot of people and looks bad on the sport."
In comes Lapchick, who noted that NASCAR has gone out of its way not to seek publicity for its diversity-training efforts.
"It's a tribute to their sincerity," Lapchick said. "I think that the most important thing that an organization can do other than changing the numbers is changing the culture, but one can't go without the other."

Accident investigation
NASCAR is working with officials at Daytona International Speedway to address the multi-car accident that track officials said injured 28 fans at the speedway the day before the Daytona 500.
The accident, which happened near the finish on the final lap of the NASCAR Nationwide Series DRIVE4COPD 300, sent wreckage past a safety fence and into the grandstand as Kyle Larson's car shattered into pieces.
"The 32 car and the parts have obviously been secured by NASCAR," senior vice president Steve O'Donnell said. "Unlike other incidents where just a car and a driver was involved, and we immediately bring that car back to the R&D center, in that case that car remained in Daytona. The purpose of that was to allow the folks from Daytona and their experts to take a look at the car, see what if anything they could glean from that investigation and apply that to their initial thoughts looking at the fencing."

From the Examiner By: Sonia Lavina
The first sea turtle nests were found in Florida on Redington Beach Monday and at Fort De Soto on Tuesday, marking the beginning of this year's nesting season reported the Tampa Bay Times on May 14.
Five women also discovered the first loggerhead sea turtle nest in Catham County, Georgia yesterday.
Mike Anderson, supervisor of the Marine Turtle Program at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium said the nests will be ready to hatch in about fifty days.
Nesting sea turtles once had no trouble finding a dark place to nest, but beaches are now lined with condominiums, businesses and hotels.

Saban served as grand marshal at the race in 2009, but didn't get to drive.
"I joked with him that he's one of the most important guys in Alabama and he had to ride in the passenger seat. What does it say about me that I'm driving?" McCarron said this morning before his trip around Talladega Speedway.
He said Saban had one piece of advice for him: "Whatever you do, don't wreck it."
When McCarron got behind the wheel, he didn't wreck, instead maneuvering the crimson pace car around the track before getting off and giving way to the professionals.
Before his lap, McCarron said he used to be a fast driver when he drove a Camaro, and "I used to test it."
"But now I drive a regular old SUV and don't drive as fast," he said with a grin.
When asked about NASCAR, McCarron said he's a big fan, which seems like the politically correct answer while sitting in the media center at Talladega Superspeedway. But he proceeded to show off a knowledge of the sport, which he said he learned to love from his father, uncle and grandfather. His father and uncle served as pit crew for McCarron's grandfather, who raced in Mobile.
"My family are huge NASCAR fans," he said. "I'm was a big Bill Elliott fan. Then I liked Kasey Kahne because he learned under him. Now I like Dale (Earnhardt) Jr."
McCarron said his father is a big Elliott fan, too.
"And Kasey drives the same way. He drives high, which is the same way Bill Elliott drive," McCarron said. "Plus, I liked the McDonald's car when Bill Elliott drove the McDonald's car."
This isn't McCarron's first trip to Talladega. He said in the past he was able to spend a race in driver Clint Bowyer's pit box.
"It's kind of like football, in that they're always communicating," McCarron said. "You can truly see it in the pit box. Everybody is communicating, and everybody has to be on the same page. You don't get to see it when you're watching at home. When you're listening to them, you can see how they're working."
Before driving, McCarron said he felt like the character Ricky Bobby from the movie Talladega Nights.
"It's like he said, 'I'm ready to go fast,'" McCarron said.
He added he was a little nervous, especially with pole-sitter Carl Edwards behind him.
"I'm probably going to be more nervous if Carl Edwards bumps me from behind," he said.
McCarron said he figures he will hear "Roll Tide!" a few times today. In fact, national anthem singer Robin Meade, an HLN television anchor, said she was told by one of the drivers that the best way to get the crowd on her side was to say "Roll Tide!" before singing.
"I know that a lot of Alabama fans who go to Alabama games also come here," McCarron said. "Alabama and NASCAR are two great fan bases. They both show passion for their sport, and that's something that's similar between the two."

Not all camp stoves are created equal. Whether you are camping, backpackin
by MerkWares
Our wood-burning camp stove is great for camping, backpacking, survivalists, and any preppers out there
Made in the USA
Lifetime Warranty
(US Patent Number USD682,006 S)
The patented EmberLit Camp Stove is a lightweight, compact, wood burning stove that doesn't require you to carry any fuel. It packs completely flat to about 1/8th in. thick, weighs only 11.3 oz, and is 100% made in the USA from stainless steel. The new EmberLit-UL is made of titanium, in the USA, and weighs a mere 5.45 oz.
Quick, Easy, and Dependable
What sets this stove apart from others is its ease of use. Properly fed, the EmberLit Stove requires minimal effort to produce and maintain an even flame with little or no smoke. This means that instead of fidgeting with the stove you can focus on cooking. Since the EmberLit makes much more efficient use of fuel than an open camp fire, a couple handfulls of twigs and sticks gathered on the trail is more than enough to boil water and cook a full meal.
With a little practice, the EmberLit can free you from the burden of carrying fuel and fuel canisters. However the EmberLit will also work as a windscreen for esbit tablets, trioxane fuel, alcohol stoves, storm candles, chafing dish heaters, and so on.
Simple, Robust, and Elegant in Design
Enjoying a hot meal to the soft, warm glow of the Emberlit stove will enhance any wilderness experience.
Cook your food and sanitize your water using just a handful of sticks. The EmberLit Stove takes up minimal space and weighs so little it can easily fit into bug out bags, 72-hour kits, and just about anywhere.
Electric grids go down, gas lines are shut off, propane runs out, and even firewood becomes scarce. The EmberLit Stove is designed to use debris and scrap wood, which are always free and abundant. This is especially useful during prolonged utility outages after natural or social disasters.

Okay, it's the pregnancy profile in [unknown], it's me versus you. I'm taking you down. I'm gonna kick your pregnant ass.
And our husband for the day, Victoria, is going to be the judge--
Hi, wives.
Okay, it's on. I think you'll have no chance of beating me.
I think you're completely wrong seeing that I am a woman and so I'm biologically ready for this.
Let's do it. All right, here we go. We're gonna race to tie a shoe--
Hold on.
All right, ready?
Take your mark, get set, go!
Done! Yay, I'm the mom of the year. I'm the mom of the year.
Now we're gonna do somersaults next, is that what we're gonna do?
I'm willing to try somersaults.
I'm gonna give you a solid 9.
Perfect form, arms in the air. She begins the somersault, it's absolutely fabulous! But she falls on the dismount. She falls on the dismount, and she gets up, she gets up.
Perfect 10, perfect 10.
Wait, you gave her a perfect 10 as she was falling--
And she ended with a bend and snap, that is a perfect 10--
She fell--
I'm sorry but she wins--
She fell on her dismount--
Doesn't matter, that was a perfect 10.
Okay, next challenge, you ready? You ready?
Candy bar dash.
What's that?
Husband is gonna hold up candy bars, 'cause we're pregnant, we're hungry, we're gonna run up the stairs, in the lobby, and whoever gets the candy bar first wins.
On your marks, get set, go!
She's elbowing my child. Cheer leading.
Taylor is the winner.
Okay, okay. Next contest, limbo contest.
Oh, fun.
He does any more?
I can't even limo without a baby. I can't even say limbo.
I got a new bag.
It's limbo time!
My boob is stuck, for real, my boob is stuck.
Okay, guys, next challenge, in the spirit of Ms. Britney Spears and Jamie Lynn, they should have a sisterly dance off so you two are gonna have a dance off.
So who's-- I wanna be Britney.
You're a little more Jamie Lynn.
I don't wanna be Jamie Lynn, her arms are fat.
I wanna be not pregnant.
I can beat you in a dance off.
Let's do it.
Dancers, are you ready?
Taylor, you're gonna start and then you toss it to Kenny.
That's unfair, I'm like can I get him all my magical juice before it even begins?
I don't need any of your magic juice.
All right, enough. Ready? Go!
You're killing your baby! You wanna kill your baby just doing a stupid dance competition?
Wait, wait, we have a winner. He almost endangered the life of his child but Kenny has won the dance off.
That was good.
You know what it feels like to be a pregnant woman?
Sort of.
I now know who's the better woman.
Yeah, and in the spirit of being pregnant.
Let's go get a bear.

^ Yeah B&M stores charge crazy prices for batteries but you can usually get them for around $1 ea. for 2 or more on eBay and sometimes a lot less than that.
They're cells not batteries and pro repair guys get pro grade cells that are better than what you can get on eBay. Maybe Ben's staff will find a deal on pro clock bracelet cells.

move the whole place to lost wages in the desert
our tax money will build the same old honkey tonks, in the same swale
For any who live or work or will be contracting in LA, AL, MS a big issue will be appliances and the electrical system.
NEMA ( National Electrical Appiance Manufacurers Association) and GAMA ( Gas Appliance Manufacturers Association) have both issued papers recommending how to deal with flood damage.
In a nutshell, for gas appliances (WH, range, furnaces) GAMA and most manufacturers themselves say any gas appliance which has been submerged MUST BE DISPOSED of. It should not be repaired. It will not be safe or reliable.
NEMA has the same basic recommendation. In the case of large commercial equipment ( switchboards, very large breakers, etc) they say that manufacturers can provide specific procedures for overhaul, including replacement of key corroded components, etc. For residential appliances, including the breaker panels and breakers, stoves, WH, etc. they say it should all be replaced.
This will be a huge problem in the affected area, because charlatans and unknowing DIY homeowners will be looking to cut corners and save a buck.
I am glad that I am not down there having to duke it out with insurance companies who will also be trying to minimize costs.
For the next year, be very wary of any secondary market on appliances, water heaters, or automobiles. There are crooks out there who will be grabbing this stuff by the ton from the salvage operators down there, They will "hose them down", pretty them up a little, wash the title, and put them on the market.
move the whole place to lost wages in the desert
our tax money will build the same old honkey tonks, in the same swale
their will probably be a very large number

that will also be on the car lots comming to a neighborhood
near you real soon too,
and you are right, nothing like rebuilding a city in a
And how is that different than rebuilding on the side of a mountain after a mudslide, or in the middle of a forest after a fire, to name a couple of similarities?
You might want to make this thread posting a sticky, that way it doesn't get lost in the shuffle as time moves forward. Very informative and a good precautionary statement. I can only imagine how busy **** will be with all that will come from there.

Anybody going down to volunteer some plumbing ?? Been thinking about taking a month and going to the area (somewhere). Problem is,,,i've had friends go to Fla. after "Andrew" saw them a week later and then said," You CANNOT leave your truck. The people will steal you blind and sell your stuff to the next guy." They slept in their van for 4-5 days then just came home.
I am not going for that.

#3the people you are trying to help are shooting at you!
if this was your next door neighbor, would you write a check for them?
Just because some of the people from NO.were acting horrible doesnt make the whole population bad.But it does hurt everyone who was affected ,who wants to help someone who is cursing our country and shooting at relief workers?
I guess we will all know what devastation is when next monday rolls around. They say that this newest hurricane will make landfall saturday in the morning hours. Texas, Mexico, or Louisiana again are the likely candidates of the approaching hurricane. I really hope people take this one seriously.

Everybody Wins
Interesting article in the New York Times about the ascendance of games "where no one loses." The article focuses on the creators of Cranium, as an example of a highly successful independent game in which social cohesion and fun are more important than having one player defeat the others. However, the author notes that some competition is essential for a game to be interesting; there must be a delicate balance between competition and letting everyone have a moment to "shine."
This piece also touches on the importance of user testing in game design. The money quote: "there is no way to know if a game idea you have sketched on paper is going to work ... the only thing to do is endlessly play-test it, scrutinizing your players with anthropological intensity for signs of distraction or ennui."
In addition, the article mentions something for another Edgames wiki article: the card game Apples for Apples, which I hadn't heard of before. It's a word game in which there are no "correct" answers; instead, the aim of the game is to stimulate friendly, intelligent debate about vocabulary. The game has sold over a million copies in three years, and was designed by an independent designer, not a big game company. There is hope for us all!
Read the whole thing - it's well worth it.

Kenworth launches 2013 Kenworth Road Tour
Stars new Kenworth T880, Kenworth T680 52" sleeper and tour trailer exhibits.
Kenworth Truck Company launched the 2013 Kenworth Road Tour. The tour takes the new Kenworth T880 vocational model and the Kenworth T680 on-highway model with the new mid-roof 52" sleeper on the road to special customer events hosted by 34 Kenworth dealerships across the United States and Canada before year-end.
The Kenworth Road Tour opens Tuesday, Sept. 10, at MHC Kenworth in Kansas City, Mo. The tour truck and comprehensive trailer exhibit will make stops at various Kenworth dealerships in Alabama, Arizona, California Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin, and in the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, Saskatchewan and Quebec. (See the complete schedule below.)
"The brand new Kenworth T880 and Kenworth T680 52" sleeper configuration are the latest in Kenworth's outstanding line of quality and innovative trucks," said Alan Fennimore, Kenworth vocational marketing manager, who heads up the tour. "These two new models enhance Kenworth's 90-year, well-deserved and strong reputation of providing industry-leading trucks to our customers. We're excited to bring these most recent additions to 'The World's Best' product line – along with the fuel-efficient PACCAR MX-13 engine – to customers throughout the United States and Canada."
Kenworth has put together an interactive, self-guided exhibit housed in a state-of-the-art, double-expanding, 53' tour trailer. Customers will especially enjoy taking some time to learn more about the key features of both the T880 and T680, see the new 12.9L PACCAR MX-13 engine, and experience 90 years of Kenworth history.
The new Kenworth T880, which sets an industry standard for vocational trucks, is designed to help maximize performance in such applications as dump, mixer, refuse, and heavy haul. Two T880s are featured on the tour. The T880 dump truck has a standard 122.5" BBC hood and a PACCAR MX-13 engine rated at 500-hp and 1,850 lb-ft of torque. The T880 flatbed hauler features the 116.5" BBC short hood optimized for the PACCAR MX-13 engine. That truck's engine is rated at 455-hp and 1,650 lb-ft of torque. The PACCAR MX-13 engine offers excellent fuel efficiency, high reliability and durability, lightweight design, and low cost of ownership.
Transporting the 53' tour trailer exhibit is the T680 52" sleeper equipped with a PACCAR MX-13 engine rated at 500-hp and 1,850 lb-ft of torque. This new sleeper configuration joins the T680 day cab and T680 76" sleeper offerings. All are designed to maximize performance in line haul, pickup and delivery, and regional hauling operations. The mid-roof sleeper provides customers more options for fuel efficiency and a more comfortable living and working environment. That is especially important for fleets whose drivers are not out on the road for several weeks at a time, but still demand comfort in their trucks.
Inside, the Kenworth Road Tour trailer has nearly 1,000 square-feet of exhibit space. One side is dedicated to the vocational T880 and the other side to the on-highway T680. Visitors can examine the cab common to both models, new T880 hood, complex reflector headlamps, air-assisted hydraulic clutch, trim levels, exterior paint samples featuring 30 new Kenworth Signature colors and interior fabric options, new 52" sleeper, Kenworth NavPlus system with Bluetooth capability for hands-free cell phone calling and electric-over-air dash switches. There are videos featuring the design process for the T880 and T680, robotic cab construction, and Kenworth history – complete with a 90th anniversary wall and a display of Kenworth's other prestigious awards.

Yesterday, he told us which stocks to buy after the pull back comes.
Today strategic investor Doug Kass reveals which stocks to short ahead of the sell-off - and make no mistake, he's convinced it's coming.
Famed for his market timing, Doug Kass, who is president of Seabreeze Partners and a CNBC Contributor, has been garnering a lot of attention lately, largely because he's convinced that the next big move in the market is lower.
Kass points to a string of negatives:
- "It rarely pays to buy stock when 85% of the S&P trades above its 50-day moving average as is the case today."
- "The market also tends to decline when only a small number of S&P stocks are oversold, again the case now."
- Historically stocks don't perform well when 10-week moving average of gasoline prices rises. "At the rate they're moving now– historically it has not paid to own stocks."
Kass feels even more confident after hearing Ben Bernanke's commentary before Congress today. Kass believes it's not so much what Bernanke said, it's what he didn't say. The Fed chairman gave no signals that further easing will be on the table.
He says all signs point to a sell-off, and Kass believes the trade is short. In fact, he thinks 3 areas of the market are particularly vulnerable.
1. Discretionary consumer based companies:
Kass suggests shorting American Express, Regal Cinemas, Henry Schein, RTH
2. China
Kass says to play it short FXI
3. Companies leveraged to capital markets
Kass tells us he's shorting Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley
"I'm personally short all of the above and much more," he says. "We must recognize that tops are processes – I continue to believe the risk on trade is coming to a close – some of the easy money might have ended today."

Crushing on 3D jewelry printers Hot Pop Factory
Three-dimensional printing may seem more akin to sci-fi conventions than fashion ateliers—Makerbot did call their newest machine "The Replicator" after all. But for industrial design and architecture students, 3D printers and computer-aided design (CAD) modeling make up a big part of their curriculum. A lot like a regular paper printer, 3D printers read information from a computer, then translate it into something you can touch. These just have one more axis and some super hot melted plastic. But this time, architects Biying and Matt have applied their keen sense of geometry and form to something a little smaller: they design and print jewelry pieces from their Toronto apartment under the moniker Hot Pop Factory. They talk to WORN about their process and the dichotomy of small scale digital production in the handmade world.
With backgrounds in architecture, your skills lend themselves both to 3D modelling and thus printing. Why did you choose to make jewelry objects?
Jewelry and architecture operate at vastly different scales, and yet, fundamentally, they are both about establishing relationships with the human body. For us, this was an amazing opportunity to apply our skill at creating space and form at an extremely intimate scale. We found the kind of connection that a person has with jewelry is much more personal and immediate. Contrasting our experience in architecture, designing at this individualized scale can help shape personal identity and style in a way that has been very rewarding for us.
What inspires the forms you use?
For our initial foray into 3D printing, we drew inspiration from the fabrication process itself. We wanted to establish a deep understanding of the technology, both in terms of the opportunities it affords in the creation of novel forms and also in the terms of the wider social and cultural implications. Our first collection, Strarigraphia, which, as the name implies, is about this stratification of many layers, seeks to uncover the inherent beauty of the additive manufacturing process and at the same time evoke the accretion of knowledge and sharing of resources that are prevalent in the wider maker community.
What does your design process look like?
While working on architectural projects, one is always limited to iterating their work through forms of representation: sketches, models, drawings. For our jewelry collection, this process was radically changed through the use of the 3D printer. We were able to touch, feel, and wear every iteration of our design from the very start of the project. This resulted in a design process that was essentially a litany of ever evolving prototypes. Each generation accumulated several small changes which were ultimately reflected in the final product, this allowed us to create highly personal and evocative objects which was the ultimate goal of our work.
You sell your work at craft shows and on Etsy. Do you see a distinction between "handmade" crafts and batch 3D printed work?
Digital design and fabrication technologies are merely tools in what is ultimately an artisanal process. There is an art form that is developed in how they are finessed and manipulated to fulfill a design vision. Like in any other craft, they can be used more or less successfully depending on the talent and experience of the artisan. In this respect, there is a striking resemblance between the way we design and fabricate our work and more traditional handicrafts. Ultimately, the biggest difference might be that, due to the digital nature of our work, there is the opportunity for it to be shared and modified freely among many artisans allowing it to become a platform for other creative works instead of a singular object.
Where do you see digital fabrication technologies fitting into the world of fashion manufacturing at large?
It's difficult to pin down where this is all going so early on. I think the most prominent and exciting feature of this technology is how it radically lowers the barriers to entry in the creation of physical objects. This means that many fresh innovations will begin to arise from unexpected places. We will no longer be boxed into the role of "consumer" but will all have the opportunity to be the author of the objects that define us. This whole process will be compounded by the fact that all of this knowledge and work can be shared freely over the internet due to its digital form.
Any plans for large scale Iris Van Herpen statement pieces in the future?
Yes. Iris Van Herpen is a huge inspiration for us in that she uses rapid prototyping of unconventional materials to dress the body. Like Van Herpen, we are very interested in the intersection between traditional fabrication techniques and rapid prototyping technologies. Currently, we are experimenting with creating textiles with our 3D printer—a spin on chain mail structures. The idea is to design printable modules with its individual links already interlaced. This process allows us to create extremely intricate designs computationally, and produce those designs with more precision and less time.
What jewelry inspires you?
We love Kate Cusack's zipper necklaces; she is a great example of an artist who has really mastered her medium and material. We also covet the bold use of elemental materials and clean lines in Mimi Jung's Brook and Lyn Jewelry. In the 3D printed jewelry world, we love Michiel Cornelissen's coin necklace, which is a great example of the kind of innovation and unique vision that can rise from jewelry created with a digital fabrication approach.

- Improvement Review by Christy
Quality Price Value
I've always had darkening under my armpits and it's been a challenge to overcome all my life. This product keeps me dry and during the past 2 months that I've tried it, it looks like it's working. I can tell that my underarm looks a bit lighter, not completely light yet but I think there's been a change. I'm gonna try to be patient and continue using this product for at least one year and hopefully there will be a dramatic change. I've tried other skin lightening products before and this one seems to be the most promising.

I have been plagued with extremely dark discoloration on my underarms and would never wear anything that might show my embarrassment, now in my 30's I have discovered something that is acutally working. I have only been using the product for 1 1/2 weeks and I can already see a huge difference, I am very excited to see what the future brings. The brightener does not irratate, no residue build-up, and keeps me fresh.

I saw an article on this product in Instyle magazine and purchased it. It has done an excellent job in fading the discoleration on my underarms.
- It's a Life Saver! Review by E.H., Baltimore, MD USA

I first read about this product in a magazine - the woman said it was actually able to help with underarm discoloration. I couldn't believe it! I'd been having problems with discolored, darkened, skin for years and had problems in the past with my senstivity to many antiperspirants. I had nothing to lose. I'm so glad I purchased this product. I've been using it for 6 months, and the difference is incredible!
- Finally an end to a long battle! Review by TB, Brooklyn, NY
Quality Price Value
I have been using "Total Nonscents" for almost a month now, and I can see my underarm darkness gradually fading away for the first time in years! My discoloration began as a teenager. I use to shave to remove the hair from my underarms resulting in red "itchy" patches of "irritation". I used depilatory creams to remove the hair (hairs grow back softer-no itching). Now a pro at this method of hair removal-it doesn't erase the scars from the past. The transition was rough, leaving the cream on for too long at times caused "inflammation & irritation"-red raw patches. As a result, I would get dark patches under my arms once the "irritation" healed-deodorants added to the problem with more stinging & burning in both cases! I still wore tank tops etc. I didn't find it embarrassing at all- I'm a woman of color & most of us get dark spots & blemishes. Its way more embarrassing to have "hair" under your arms than "dark spots", where I come from. However, I eventually began to admire the celebrities/models- & their "even toned underarms" on TV, movies & magazines and I'd wonder, "How did their underarms get so smooth & pretty?" Finally, I saw this product online & thought "EXPENSIVE-but worth a try". This product actually works. My problem lasted for years but I think in a few months my underarm darkness will actually be gone. EXPENSIVE but well WORTH it!
- One minus for the product! Review by RB, Long Island, NY
Quality Price Value
Like many who use this product-I too have been trying to get rid of my underarm discoloration for a long time now. I recently started using Total Nonscents and overall the product does what it says. The one minus this product should look into improving is that it is not good in keeping "odor" under control. I still have to use DEORDORANT! I would like for the product to become an all in one ANTI-PERSPIRANT, DEORDORANT, & FADE COMPONENT. This will eliminate the need for deodorant.

I'm in my 40's and just started developing dark discoloration in my underarm area. I was freaked out! I started scrubbing and making the problem worse. I was searching the internet for solutions and found The DERMAdoctor! I am now ordering my 2nd bottle of the Total NonScents Ultra Gentle Brightening Antiperspirant. I gave this product a "4" only because it is expensive, but it is also a great solution. Give this product a try if you are plagued with dark underarm area.
- Great product that really works! Review by EM, Boston, MA USA
Quality Price Value
For many years I have had a dark underarm discoloration and was always embarrassed to wear tank tops or even lift my arms when wearing loose t-shirts. I have tried many deodorants that were aimed at sensitive skin or have all natural ingredients, but they never alleviated my problem. I found Dermadoctor through a google search and read these reviews. Although the product is expensive, it is well worth the money. I have been using it for 1.5 weeks and my underarm skin is almost the same color as the rest of my skin. On my skin, it does not dry instantly, but I just evenly spread the anti-perspirant over the areas that I want to be lightened and it is fine. The product also does a great job as an anti-perspirant. I really love this product, and if anyone has underarm discoloration I highly recommend this product.

It has been nearly five years since the first phase of Tennessee Technological University's W. Clyde Hyder-Tommy Burks Agricultural Pavilion opened, and now, several hundred thousand visitors and hundreds of events later, the complex is considered one of the biggest boosts to the Cookeville area in recent years.
"I can't say enough good things about the agricultural pavilion," said Laura Wolf, coordinator of the annual Home Show held there last March. "We've been able to offer more in this region and bring more activities to the Cookeville area than ever before. Until it opened, there was no public arena to showcase events and community programs like the children's shows and rodeos available to us now.
"We've held the Home Show there for four consecutive years, and it has grown bigger and better than ever before."
The Hyder-Burks Agricultural Pavilion, a 3.5 acre complex off Gainesboro Grade, is a multipurpose facility operated by Tennessee Tech's School of Agriculture. It includes an indoor heated arena, a convention room, a covered livestock barn and a sales/demonstration arena.
Built primarily as an educational facility, the pavilion complex also plays host to hundreds of educational, recreational and commercial events, offering a convention-center atmosphere for the region. The first phase, which included the barn and sales arena, opened in 1993. The indoor arena, which seats 2,200 people, was dedicated in 1995.
While the pavilion's economic impact on the community is difficult to calculate exactly, at least one study completed in 1996 estimated the pavilion's overall revenue impact was $1.8 million that year alone. And there's little doubt among the facility's patrons that it has increased since.
The study, which included random surveys of visitors and participants, calculated the pavilion's total economic impact in Putnam County using an annual average of 40,000 visitors and U.S. Department of Commerce economic multipliers. However, a conservative count for last year alone showed 56,000 people visited the pavilion, according to manager Richard Brown.
"When you bring that many people in - whether it's for a horse show or sheep sale or judging contest - when they come in for two to three days, they bring in a lot of money with them," said Scott Chadwell, UT agricultural extension agent for Putnam County. "Nearly everybody goes out to eat in Cookeville, and nearly every hotel room in town is full. Our district shows cover 27 Tennessee counties."
The State 4-H Sheep Show is scheduled later this month, and Chadwell predicts a large turnout.
"With the Sheep Show, about 500 young people and their parents will be attending, and we'll use every inch of the pavilion's barn for it," he said. "The pavilion's a big improvement over the Tennessee State Fairgrounds in many ways. For one, Cookeville's a much better environment for our young people.
"All of our shows here get really crowded. Some of the kids attending this year have already booked hotel rooms for next year because they know how popular it is. Some come up just for the day, but most of them are here for a three-day period, and almost all of them bring their parents with them."
According to Ben Byler, director of the School of Agriculture, the Hyder-Burks Pavilion is recognized as one of the most versatile and user-friendly facilities of its kind in the region and in the nation.
"Because of that versatility, we've been able to attract a variety of activities and shows to this region that would have been impossible before."
The Tennessee Cattlemen's Association will move its annual meeting to the pavilion from Nashville this fall, and the State High School Rodeo finals relocated to Cookeville from Memphis for the first time this year.
As important as its economic impact to the region is the pavilion's benefit to Tennessee Tech and its School of Agriculture, Byler said.
"Prospective students attend a variety of recruiting-oriented events, and enrolled students use the facilities in classes, laboratories and other teaching programs. They have access to facilities not available anywhere else."And soon the pavilion will be even more visible to the community. Its new marquee listing scheduled events should be up soon.

I focus on a set of influential white middle class British and American radical intellectuals who emphasized emotions, instincts, and energies as transformative forces that could politically, socially, and materially alter the world. Crucially, this dissertation shifts historical attention on this period as a watershed in sexual practices toward the lens of a politics of love that informed sex reformers' construction of discourses and practices. I argue that sex reformers' politics of love amounted to the emergence of new registers of organizing bodies along the lines of gender, race, class, and sexuality by differentiating these bodies in terms of what I call their affective potential to achieve love. By examining the sex reform movement through this lens of a politics of love, I highlight the multiple ways that sex reformers radicalized the domain of intimacy as an arena of intense concern in matters of both social and political organization as well as ontological questions of spiritually and ecologically relating to the world. Each of this dissertation's chapters aims to take the reader on a journey thorugh the multiple worlds that took shape as sex reformers looked to develop scientific, spiritual, social, political, and economic strategies to engineer relationships defined by love. This journey spatially and temporally situates sex refomers' bodies as affective compasses that moved through and constructed historically specific worlds out of Darwinian maps of cities and nations, bohemian living arrangements, 'modern' schools and playgrounds, Edenic gardens, plant breeding and animal sex research laboratories, and imagined eugenic utopias of future species and races. 2011-01-01T15:44:22Z Organized for a Fair Deal: African American Railroad Workers in the Deep South, 1900-1940 Kelly, Joseph http://hdl.handle.net/1807/24784 2010-12-10T22:52:31Z 2010-08-13T19:41:27Z Title: Organized for a Fair Deal: African American Railroad Workers in the Deep South, 1900-1940 Authors: Kelly, Joseph Abstract: This study concerns the organized activity of African American railroad workers in Deep South states such as Mississippi, Arkansas and Louisiana. The study opens with a broad discussion of wage labour as an aspect of the political economy of the Mississippi Delta and the Piney Woods of Mississippi. By establishing wage labour as a vital aspect of the Deep South economy, the opening chapter sets the scene for the main discussion on the activities of African American railroad workers. This study shows that African American railroad workers protested various racial impositions on them, including their exclusion from white dominated craft unions within the American Federation of Labor (AFL), the ongoing push from white railroad trainmen to have them removed from lucrative posts in the train service, as well as railroad employers' insistence on keeping them as lowly paid substitutes for white labour. They also took good advantage of federal wartime control over the railroads to challenge prejudiced notions of their skills and experience as workers. African American railroaders were persistent fighters for fair employment practices well before the legendary A. Philip Randolph came on the scene. They engaged their employers and white workers in varying ways. African American railroad shopmen did not hesitate to join subordinate locals of the white-dominated craft unions in the AFL. They participated with white shopmen in the important railroad shop strikes of 1911 and 1922. Their counterparts in the train service tended to build independent organisations and used subtle forms of protest such as letters, petitions and legal suits in preference to strike action. Although organized African American trainmen used seemingly unconfrontational approaches to making their grievances heard, the study cautions against the presumption that these organizations were either weak or unassertive. Careful organisation and preparation for a court appearance or filing a petition with an employer such as the Illinois Central, involved a collective will that cannot be pigeonholed within a dichotomy of militancy versus conformity. African American railroad workers resisted their domination and exploitation on railroads in the Deep South by building effective organizations often within the fold of the AFL. Acknowledgements The road toward this dissertation has been a journey that has seen my transformation from a dilettantish South African intellectual to a serious-minded historian of African American labour and social history. This transformation has neither been a huge nor dramatic leap. Thanks to my thesis supervisor Rick Halpern, with his own interest in collaborative research on race and labour in the U.S and South Africa, I have constantly been aware of the spiritual affinity between the struggles of African Americans for democratic freedoms in the U.S and African people's struggles against racial domination in South Africa. I have gained enormously from the sure guidance of my committee - Rick Halpern, Dan Bender and Michael Wayne. Rick has been the perfect mentor and thesis supervisor. He supported me in finding focus for my ideas and ensured that I maintained meticulous attention to detail and allowed me to pursue my intellectual goals independently. Dan has been there to provide supportive feedback with sharp insights into the various ways I could widen the horizon of the possible uses of sometimes unyielding primary resource material. Michael has alerted me to the necessity of clear and effective writing, and during my time working with him as a teaching assistant, he was a model of eloquence in teaching. I am grateful for the advice and direction I received from other scholars working in the field of Southern labour and social history, including Michael Honey, Laurie Beth Green, Charles W. Crawford and Eric Arnesen. Eric's pioneering work on race and labour on U.S railroads has provided this study a key point of critical engagement. I wish to acknowledge my intellectual debt to his skilfully-handled work on relations between African American and white workers in the early twentieth century South. Numerous librarians and archivists inevitably had a hand in the completion of this study. At the University of Toronto's Robarts Library, I'm especially grateful to Jane L. Lynch, resource sharing specialist, for her quiet but ever efficient support. Retired director of the Kheel Center for Labor-Management Documentation & Archives at Cornell University, Richard Strassberg guided me to the best available material on railroad labour. Richard also spent time chatting and sharing his wide knowledge of the field of U. S labour history. He was on hand to steer me away from too hasty judgements that could have led me down quite unfruitful research paths. Kheel Center staff, reference archivist Patrizia Sione and administrative assistant Melissa Holland gave assistance with a generosity that went beyond the call of duty. Other archivists who provided attentiveness and outstanding service include: Ed Frank, curator at the Special Collections Department, University of Memphis Library; Walter B. Hill of the National Archives and Records Administration in Washington, DC; Guy Hall at the South-eastern region office of the National Archives and Records Administration in Morrow, Georgia; and G. Wayne Dowdy at the Shelby County Public Library in Memphis. Various archivists at the Shelby County Archives, Memphis, Tennessee; at the Newberry Library, Chicago, Illinois; and the Mississippi Department of Archives & History in Jackson, Mississippi, also deserve special mention for their responsiveness and enthusiasm to provide support. My debts, even before the outset of research for this project are numerous. Thanks to the University of Toronto for the fellowship funds and the research travel grants that have sustained me throughout my time as a graduate student. The love, care and patience of my partner Darryl Gershater has been indispensable in helping me keep perspective during my early years in Toronto when the environment seemed frosty and alienating. The completion of this dissertation is by no means sufficient or just compensation for her devotion and tireless support, or for the loss of dreams that she has had to set aside while I drilled away at my studies. I am deeply appreciative of the Gershater family, especially Adele, Josh and Lee-Anne. Their friendship and the tenderness of their home have helped me find in Canada a place of belonging and hope. Personal debts that I particularly wish to mention include Peter Alexander and Carolyn O'Reilly in Johannesburg, South Africa, who encouraged me to apply for the PhD programme in History at the University of Toronto. Stephen Greenberg, Stacey Haahjem and Tina Smith, your steady friendship over the distance of oceans has been a vital source of inspiration. I wish also to thank Bill Freund, emeritus professor in Economic History at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, South Africa, for his advice, persisting confidence and long-standing support. I am grateful also to Peter Brock, the late founder of the University of Toronto's Carmen Brock Fellowship. Though Peter has not seen this project to the end, he always checked on my progress with a warmth and friendship that I always cherish. I wish finally to mention two people who remind me that even strangers in a bitter and estranged world are capable of basic kindliness. Elton Weaver, a PhD graduate in the History Department at Memphis State University, shines out as an example of African American fraternal feeling and openness. Katherine Bowers, a graduate student in the Department of Slavic Languages and Literature, Northwestern University, Chicago, treated me to the friendliest atmosphere I could possibly have expected over the month of my stay in Chicago. To my mother, Doris Kelly, and my brood of siblings, nieces and nephews back in South Africa – you are with me on this excursion into a small part of the past of a people – African Americans – whom I believe do share with you and others back home, a common resource of spirit and optimism in the face of great adversity. 2010-08-13T19:41:27Z Nuclear Sharing and Nuclear Crises: A Study in Anglo-American Relations, 1957-1963 Cunningham, Jack http://hdl.handle.net/1807/24467 2014-01-30T16:07:27Z 2010-06-08T13:40:31Z Title: Nuclear Sharing and Nuclear Crises: A Study in Anglo-American Relations, 1957-1963 Authors: Cunningham, Jack Abstract: Between 1957 and 1963, both Anglo-American discussions of nuclear cooperation and the wider debate on nuclear strategy within NATO were often dominated by the question of whether Britain's deterrent would be amalgamated or integrated into a wider NATO or European force, such as the proposed MLF (Multilateral Force). This dissertation discusses the development and impact of competing British and American proposals for "nuclear sharing" within the context of European economic and political integration as well as that of discussions within NATO of the appropriate strategy for the alliance in an age of mutual nuclear vulnerability between the superpowers. Particular attention is paid to the context of successive nuclear crises in world politics during this period, from Sputnik to the Soviet ultimatum over Berlin through the Cuban missile crisis. The divergent opinions among the leaders of the major powers over the appropriate responses to these crises shaped the debate over nuclear sharing and form a previously neglected dimension of this topic. 2010-06-08T13:40:31Z The Challenge of Guinean Independence, 1958-1971 MacDonald, Mairi Stewart http://hdl.handle.net/1807/19287 2010-11-03T20:55:30Z 2010-03-03T20:48:49Z Title: The Challenge of Guinean Independence, 1958-1971 Authors: MacDonald, Mairi Stewart Abstract: Since the end of French colonial rule in Guinea, "independence" has held a central place in its political culture. Implying both dignity and self-determination for the sovereign people which possesses it, independence is a concept that has meaning only in relation to other nation-states and cultures. Yet the political elite that dominated Guinea's First Republic constructed a new national culture around this concept. The Challenge of Guinean Independence, 1958-1971 examines Guinea's assertion of its right to independence and the response of powerful Western players, especially the United States and France, as Guinea challenged their assumptions about the nature of African sovereignty. Considering the history of the international relations of a single African state that enjoyed limited international power and prestige challenges conventions in the historiography of both Africa and international relations. It illuminates and contextualizes expectations concerning the meaning of modernity, African sovereignty as a matter of international law, and the end of formal colonial rule coinciding with the tensions and competitions of the Cold War. The study demonstrates that the international context played a crucial role, both in conditioning the timing and form of decolonization and in shaping the international community's adaptation of colonial patterns of economic and political interaction to the new reality of African nation-states. Focusing on the invention, development and reception of one country's insistence on independence in turn illuminates significant issues and events: the end of French colonial rule; limitations on the sovereignty of non-European postcolonial states; the advent of neocolonialism and the failure of the nominally anti-colonial United States to oppose it; the ideological appeal of African unity as a means of safeguarding sovereignty and the compromises that its institutional form entailed; foreign aid and the notion that development for modernization could be stimulated from outside; and the implications of unlimited internal autonomy for a state's people. Guinea's independence ultimately challenged developing norms of Western economic and political interaction with new African states by complicating assumptions about the universality of Western notions of economic development, justice and morality. 2010-03-03T20:48:49Z

Baltimore, you should root hard for Oriol Servia in Sunday's big Grand Prix race.
For one thing, the guy's name means oriole in Spanish.
"Right?" he says. "It's a natural!"

And the 38-year-old Spaniard has totally embraced his connection to this town and its baseball team since finishing second to Australia's Will Power in last year's race.
Servia even has two orioles painted on each side of his racing helmet next to a surreal image of the great Salvador Dali, his countryman.
Not only that, but Servia just threw out the first pitch before the Orioles' 5-3 win over the Chicago White Sox Thursday.
So the guy's a good-luck charm, too. How could he NOT be the favorite of race fans in this town?
"I know!" he says. "Last year when I finished second and they said my name, everybody went kind of crazy!"
This is really the way Servia talks. Everything he says sounds like it should have an exclamation point tacked on.
But back to that wonderful first name: Oriol. Whatever you do, don't confuse it with the name of a certain. ... well, let him tell it.
"I came to the States to race in '98," he says. "Every time I say my name — every time! — they say: 'Oh, like the cookie.' And I'm like: 'Nooo!' I hate when people think it's like the cookie! I don't hate the cookies. But, it's like: 'Nooo, the Baltimore Orioles!' This is what I've been saying for the last 14 years!"
Servia's emotional ties to Baltimore are so strong now that he still gets worked up about meeting a certain local swimmer at last year's post-race awards ceremony.
"Yes! Michael Phelps gave me the trophy!" he says. "It's one of the best pictures I have, ever! I hope he comes back this year! I hope he's in town!"
And when Servia describes throwing out the first pitch the other night at Camden Yards, you wonder if he's actually going to hyperventilate.
"It was awesome!" he says. "I was nervous! I never played baseball! In Spain, we don't play baseball."
To prepare for the big day, he picked the brain of his team owner, Dennis Reinbold, a former baseball player. At last week's race Sonoma, Calif., the two worked on smoothing out the lefty's delivery.
Neither man expected Servia to turn into Cliff Lee or C.C. Sabathia, or even Wei-Yin Chen. They just hoped to get him to the point where he wouldn't embarrass himself in front of thousands of fans.
"I threw 10 balls!" he says. "He gave me some tips."
Still, Servia was vibrating like a gong when he stepped onto the mound Thursday. Orioles catcher Taylor Teagarden was behind the plate, not that Servia noticed.
"I have no idea," he says of who caught the pitch. "Even if they mentioned who it was, I was too nervous to catch his name. But I did fine. I was happy."

what do you mean not allowed!?
That's the easiest way in general, because it's guaranteed to work, you're just plugging into a formula every time. But this question asked you to factorise, so that method wouldn't be allowed.
Another easy way is to use determinant(det) b^2 - 4ac
In my opinion the best way is to write the coefficient of x^2 in front of the brackets and then factorise expression in the brackets using completing the square or other method). I prefer completting the square as it always work very well and you do not have to wast your time for finding e * f = c etc. Work well with any question of factorizing quadratics, especially when you have to deal with questions such as 6a^2 - 23ab + 20b^2
