Contact Sports Desk: Call: 603-516-2949 / E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com 'Miracle On Ice' jersey going to auction in NYC
Saturday, January 26, 2013
NEW YORK — Mike Eruzione's sensational winning goal against the Soviet hockey team at the 1980 Winter Olympics will forever be remembered as the "Miracle On Ice" -- perhaps the greatest sporting moment of the 20th century.
The auction record for any piece of hockey memorabilia is $1.2 million, set in 2010 for the jersey Paul Henderson wore when he scored the winning goal in the 1972 Summit Series against the Soviets.
"As long as I'm alive, the gold medal won't be sold," said Eruzione, who is director of special outreach at Boston University and a partner in a nutritional supplement business that includes several other ex-Olympians, including gymnasts Nadia Comaneci and Bart Conner.
"It was the biggest upset in sports history," he said. "In my eyes, Eruzione's collection is a seven-figure sale, as is Christoff's gold medal." |

Uncoordinated movement is due to a muscle control problem that causes an inability to coordinate movements. It leads to a jerky, unsteady, to-and-fro motion of the middle of the body (trunk) and an unsteady gait (walking style). It can also affect the limbs.
The medical name of this condition is ataxia.
Lack of coordination; Loss of coordination; Coordination impairment; Ataxia; Clumsiness; Uncoordinated movement
Smooth graceful movement requires a balance between different muscle groups. A part of the brain called the cerebellum manages this balance.
Diseases that damage the cerebellum, spinal cord, or peripheral nerves can interfere with normal muscle movement. The result is large, jerky, uncoordinated movements.
Brain injuries or diseases that can cause uncoordinated movements include:
Poisoning or toxic effects caused by:
Other causes include:
A home safety evaluation by a physical therapist may be helpful.
Use safety measures around the home to make it easier to get around. For example, get rid of clutter, leave wide walkways, and remove throw rugs or other objects that might cause slipping or falling.
People with this condition should be encouraged to take part in normal activities. Family members need to be patient with a person who has poor coordination. Take time to show the person ways to do tasks more easily. Take advantage of the person's strengths while avoiding his or her weaknesses.
Ask the health care provider whether walking aids, such as a cane or walker, would be helpful.
Call your health care provider if:
In an emergency, the patient will first be stabilized so that symptoms do not get worse.
The health care provider will perform a physical exam, which may include:
Medical history questions may include:
Tests that may be ordered include:
You may need to be referred to a specialist for diagnosis and treatment. If a specific problem is causing the ataxia, the problem will be treated. For example, if a medicine is causing coordination problems, the medicine may be changed or stopped. Other causes may not be treatable. The doctor can tell you more.

Essential Weight Loss Medication
The community these days prefers weight loss solutions that do not challenge their ability. If there is a method that is of convenience then they are more than happy to support it with enthusiasm. That means that medication has become a very important tool in the fight against obesity.
Although officially this is supposed to come from the prescription route, the reality is that many people self medicate in an effort to lose weight while at the same time they wish to avoid the rigors of exercise. In this article we will look at some observations about the practice of using medication to aid weight loss:
1. Serious medication should come through the prescription method. A properly trained clinician will identify the underlying cause of the weight problem and then prescribe the drugs that are likely to help the person. The medicine that is just picked up from the market stall is unlikely to be as effective as one that is part of a planned medication program. It is better to listen to the advice of the medical professionals rather than navigating the world of weight loss pills.
2. One has to take into account the potential effects of using the medication. Some people may experience a number of uncomfortable symptoms that are related to the weight loss pills that they are taking. On the other hand some of the users may face significant problems with managing their health because they have taken the wrong weight loss pills. On the worst case scenario they might even face life threatening allergic reactions to the medication.
3. The person has to ensure that they are taking the medication in the right quantities. If they decide to take too much of the medication then they will be facing an overdose and the related complications. If they take too little then the impact of that medication will be severely restricted. It is important to read the labels and follow the instructions of the clinicians.
4. Herbal medicine has been found to be very effective for weight loss but the person has to read about all the effects before they rush to taking the medicine. For example there are nutrient killing herbal medicines that end up causing more harm than good to the person that is taking them. In the long run one has to consider whether it is worth their while to continue with the herbal medicine if it is causing them health problems.
5. The weight loss medication always comes at a dollar cost and therefore the person should be prepared to pay these costs. It is not as if they can just get aware with dealing with the superficial elements of weight loss without paying the price for their medication. If the costs are not reigned in sufficiently, the person can find that the weight loss program is negatively impacting on other aspects of their lives. This is a very bad outcome and one which needs to be avoided.

This has more details than the version of this shown in the Ideas Board, so read through it before you post.
Off we go then...Allons-y!
Doctor Who – Defenders of Earth
>>>...Recipients located…<<<
>>>…Subwave network fully operational…<<<
>>>…Transmitting in…3 …2…1…0<<<
"Hello there, sorry to barge in like this! Please don't adjust your screen or walk away, there's no cause for alarm. I've probably just hijacked your TV screen, computer, or communications device through a rather clever system a friend of mine set up, called the Subwave network – which I've just fixed and improved on with the help of this [holds up a metallic pen-like device with a glowing blue tip]. Yeah, sorry about that. Hope I didn't interrupt anything important.
Anyway, to cut a long story short, I'm the Doctor…And this is going to sound odd, but I need your help…"
The Story/Set up
It's Earth, present day. You are going about your ordinary life, when something unusual happens. A man with brown messy hair and wearing a brown pin-stripe suit appears on the screen of your TV, computer, or any other electronic device with speakers that you happen to have. As surprised as you might be to have a strange man suddenly appear on your screen, and as crazy as it sounds, you find yourself listening to what he's telling you.
The man explains that his name is the Doctor. He's a traveller, he travels through time and space, and he's seen things you can't even begin to imagine. He's not human – he is from an ancient race known as the Time lords – more specifically he's the last of the Time lords. His home planet and all his people were wiped out during the Great Time War – a war in which his people fought against a race called the Daleks…and lost. Everyone lost.
But that's not important now, he tells you. Your world is in danger; your very existence is in danger. That theory about parallel words? That's all true. There are worlds parallel to yours – and in between the different worlds is something called 'The Void'. The Void is, well, a void – it is a place of nothingness, nothing can exist in there. It acts as a wall between the different worlds, keeping them separate from each other. But the Doctor has reason to believe there might be something out there in the void, beyond your or his comprehension…something that is trying to break through the void and into this world. He doesn't know what it is or what it's capable of. But if it's powerful enough to break through the walls of reality, and break out of the void, then it can't be good news. And that's not all. Whatever that thing it is, it's doing damage. Holes are appearing in the fabric of reality, and rifts in time and space are becoming more common, more active…other life forms are slipping through from one world to the next. Some of them are harmless – but some of them want nothing better than to destroy and conquer over all.
Normally the Doctor would be out there, trying to sort this mess out. However he has some problems of his own. It appears someone or something doesn't want him interfering, because he's been teleported to an unknown location and held prisoner (which seems to happen to him quite a lot, actually).
And this is where you come in. He can handle whatever problems he faces from his mysterious captors – but in the meantime someone needs to defend the Earth (and indeed the universe) from whatever sinister forces the void is letting through.
But how can you help? You don't know anything about these creatures or how to stop them, surely? And why you? Why has this 'Doctor', whoever he is, decided to give you this responsibility?
It's almost as if the Doctor can hear you, because the next thing he says is this: Sometime, in your future, something inexplicable is going to happen. You're going to meet a man, just like him, called the Doctor, and you are going to help him defeat and fight whatever alien threat is at hand. And some of you may even get the chance to travel with him for a while. That's why he knows you're capable of this task. Because he's seen what you can do, in your future…"And you're brilliant," he tells you with a grin. Even if you're not sure of yourself, the Doctor is. Of course, you might already be certain you can do this. You might have done battle with aliens before. In which case, good on you! He knows he can count on each and everyone of you – oh yes, don't worry, you're not alone. The Doctor has sent this message out to quite a number of 'future companions'…and some past companions too. The more help, the better.
Don't worry about the details for now, the Doctor adds. He'll be sending you more information soon. For now he gives you the code for the Sub wave network – all you need to do is use that code like you would with an email address or phone number, and it will put you through to him.
"So what d'you think? Are you up for it?" the Doctor finally asks you, looking directly into the screen, as if he can see you. "'Cause if you are then I should warn you, you're gonna see all sorts of things. It won't be quiet, it won't be safe and it won't be calm. But I tell you what it will be...A trip of a lifetime! Because you might see anything. You could find new worlds, terrifying monsters, impossible things. And if you reply to this message...
Nothing will ever be the same again."
>>>…End of Transmission…<<<
About the RP
Well, you've probably guessed it. This is a Doctor Who style RP, based on the Sci-fi Tv series. (This RP is predictable coming from me, I know, but hey…)
I don't know how many people are interested in Dr Who, but that's why I'm posting this on the ideas board - to find out.
As the story suggests, this is an RP where you (yes you), get the chance to help out the Doctor and become his companion (or Ally). You'll be working with the Doctor's former companions, as well as the likes of Torchwood, in order to defend the Earth. OC's who haven't met the Doctor before the RP starts are highly encouraged, so this will be good for people who are not completely familiar with the show to join in too, since you as the Roleplayer will get a chance to learn about the Doctor who universe at the same time your character learns about it. Obviously, it will still help if you know a bit about Dr Who first =P
Hang on, the Doctor who Universe is huge! How do you plan to fit it into a manageable RP?
It's an RP based within the confinements of the New revived series. That covers the series from the Ninth Doctor all the way up to the present. The spin-off show 'Torchwood' will also be reasonably involved (at least it will be to start off with); however Doctor Who will still remain the central focus.
- Since the Doctor Who universe is so massively huge, this RP will be restricted to the New series only. I might put in a few 'guest star NPCs' from the classic series if I feel like it, but for the moment, it's strictly the Christopher Eccleston- David Tennant Era of Dr Who only. Just to keep things more simple and understandable.
Also, although this RP is based on the Tv show, I will be making some minor changes for the convenience of the RP. So if you know the Tv show well, don't be surprised if during the Rp you find yourself thinking 'hang on, that shouldn't be there', 'What happened to that? That wasn't in the Tv show' or 'Isn't that character supposed to be dead at the time this RP is set?' – it's not going to be without good reason, usually this will be to make the RP more interesting, add a few more twists, or just to make things more simple/convenient.
- This RP is set (for the characters that are playing), in the present day, and all players will start the RP somewhere on Earth, present day. Again, this is just so as not to over complicate things – the element of Time-travel in this RP is going to be severely restricted for this reason as well. (Although time travel will still exist in there.)
- Of course, the characters have to meet up at some point – and there will be certain locations they will travel to in order for this to happen. Typically this will be either Cardiff, in Wales, or London, in England. (You have the BBC to thank for this wonderful and interesting variety of locations.) You characters don't have to start here, they can start from any part of the world – but these locations are where they will eventually end up. (I'll arrange all that as part of the plot, don't worry). They will also get the chance to go into space and travel to different planets, naturally.
- For the Doctor, this RP will be set during his Tenth incarnation (David Tennant), some time after the episode 'Planet of the Dead'. Other NPC's may come from a different point in the Doctor's timeline, so that the meeting between them is possible (i.e. Donna Noble would be a good example of this, for reasons which I won't discuss due to spoilers).
The Objective
The objective of this RP is simple: Defend the universe from alien threat, and help the Doctor in any way you can.
You will do this by completing the missions that NPC's will assign to you during the course of the RP, fighting monsters, and surviving through anything the enemy throws at you (since you're now associated with the Doctor, your character has become the enemy's number one target [excluding the Doctor himself], so you'll need to keep your wits about you). Danger lurks everywhere!
Other Important Information
- Although there is a plot to follow, this RP will loosely follow a 'choose your own adventure' format, where the characters will be faced with choices to make. What choices they make and the way they interact with the world around them will ultimately determine what happens to them. So make your choices carefully! A wrong action or move, and your character could end up in very deep water. However, you will also have opportunities to get your character out of trouble as well as into it, so unless your character does something incredibly stupid from which there is no way out of it, you should be fine. (I say 'should be fine' – but the dangers will increase as the RP goes on…)
- The above being said, in the world of Doctor who, no one is safe. Every single character is expendable – even the Doctor can die (and has done, on several occasions). With the death rate being so high in Doctor who, this will be by no means a walk in the park. Your character is going to have to fight hard (and do an awful lot of running) to survive, and there is a fair possibility of death. Do not assume that your character is immune from death – because they're not. And since you are not immortal or a Time lord, you can't be brought back to life. Once you're dead, you're dead. As it is, some NPC's will be added for the pure purpose of being killed off later, just to keep that feeling of death real to your characters. After all, with death all around them, they could easily be next…
- All characters will be working on the same side, and must start the RP as an ally of the Doctor. Villains, monsters and enemies will be NPC's. However, for those of you who would like a taste of Dr who villainy, some characters may be given the opportunity to swap sides later on…whether or not your character gives into the temptation offered to them is up to you. (But just to note if you do take the path to 'the dark side' of Dr who, your chances of dying increase tenfold. Especially as you'll then be taking on the role of evil henchman or betrayer.)
- As the RP progresses, your character will receive 'information packs/files' via the Doctor or one of his former companions. Usually these files will have information on certain monsters/aliens the Doctor has faced, or planets. The characters can choose to use this information to help them, if they wish. The information packs will also be a guide for you, as the player, so that you understand exactly what your character is up against, and what these monsters look like, etc – which will be useful if you are not familiar with Doctor who monsters/enemies (I'll be using monsters from the show as well as some 'new' monsters, just to keep things interesting).
- Some characters from the series will also be available to play, so if you're a fan of the show and want to have a go at role playing an actual Doctor's companion/character, you'll have the chance. (But having existing characters as players is not necessary – they can all be NPC's, or just not included, if need be.) Some Doctor Who characters will be NPC's regardless (i.e. The Doctor), so bear that in mind. If you're not sure if a character is acceptable or not, then ask before you create your CS.
In regards to spoilers, I will try and keep them to a minimum, and I advise you all to do the same. However, with Doctor Who being a series with a lot of continuity and references to earlier episodes, some spoilers will be unavoidable. There may be certain elements in the plot of this RP which refer to certain events that happened during the series, or certain things which have happened to certain characters. I can think of a few characters in particular where spoilers are going to be sadly unavoidable…
Rules & Guidelines
General Rules:
- Firstly, all the usual rules apply. No God-modding, no immortality, no saying your character can fight when it is in no fit state to, etc.
- Spoilers. Unnecessary spoilers are not nice. Please respect those of us who haven't watched particular episodes of Doctor Who. If you are in the OOC thread, use a spoiler tag like this > (See?) As for spoilers in the IC thread, just try not to. If the spoiler is necessary for explaining something, clearing something up, or is directly involved in the RP in some way, then fine. Obviously there is no way around it, and it can't be helped. I'm going to find myself in that situation myself, so I can hardly tell you off for doing the same. However what I DON'T want to see is spoilers leaked out due to blatant carelessness, or people referring to spoilers for the sake of it. Just because you know everything that happens in the series, don't assume that everyone else does. I understand that sometimes it's hard to judge what is a spoiler and what isn't – so just think carefully before you post. If you can, try and word it in a way that makes it clear to understand, without giving too much away. Be as tactful as you can.
- Posting. Let's all try and keep up with posting, shall we? Understandably we all have lives. Things are going to crop up and we might not have time to post. If you're not going to be able to post within 7 days, then let me know. Unless you let me know in advance, or if I'm away myself, then after 2 weeks if you haven't posted, your character will be taken out of action and made 'idle'. If you return, we will have to find some way of introducing your character back into the story – which may take time, depending on how much the RP has moved forward since you were away.
New addition to the rules wrote:From now on I will be posting on a regular basis, regardless of who has posted or who hasn't. This will be done so that we don't have endless questions of 'who are we waiting for?'
Unless I'm too busy myself, I will now be posting once a week. I will post a reponse to the people who have posted in that week, and I'll post separately for the late comers if and when they manage to post, so that everyone keeps up.
If there is an important plot development that requires everyone's post before we can move forward, then I will give a deadline. After that deadline if you haven't posted, I will take action and God-mod in order to stop your character falling behind, just so as to keep things running smoothly.
I think this is the best and fairest way of keeping the Rp moving, since it does seem to be dragging on a lot.
- Breaking the Rules/General stupidity. I'm sure this won't be a problem, but this is going up here just in case. If you break the rules and have already had a warning, or continue to do something when a GM has said not to, then your character will be removed from the game, either indefinitely or permanently. To keep the RP running smoothly for the other players, this will happen through the character of said removed person either getting killed off without warning or prior means of avoiding it, or alternatively, Torchwood will see fit to dismiss your character in disgrace, 'Retconning' them into forgetting everything that has happened (Think Men in Black – it's along the same lines, only you won't be getting any second chances). So if your name goes up on the list labelled 'Retconned/Removed' – then you are out. For good. But hopefully that isn't going to happen.
About The Characters (For more on characters, see 'Character Sheet'):
- All OC's that are playing will not have met the Doctor prior to the start of this RP (Although the Doctor may have met them, since he's a time-traveller). So no saying 'me and the Doctor go way back' or 'I've bumped into him before' – because no, you haven't. Your character most likely has never seen or heard of the Doctor. If your character is a member of an organisation such as UNIT or Torchwood, then they may have heard rumours or stories about the Doctor from senior members, but they certainly will have never met the Doctor in person. (Only existing characters from the TV series are exempt from this rule.)
- If you plan to use an existing character from the TV series, please notify me first, as only some of the characters will be playable, and others with discretion.
- Oh yeah, and no powers. Doctor Who characters rarely have powers…unless it's something really powerful that's used in the climax of the final episode in a series *cough cough* spoiler> BAD WOLF < spoiler, so yeah, no powers please!
- Having said that, having weapons or gadgets based on items that would be considered having 'magical properties' will be permitted, (since such items do appear in Doctor Who quite frequently) – but only if you can convince a GM that there is a scientific explanation behind it, or that there is an item similar to it that already exists in the show – And again, it can't be too powerful. No resurrection gloves, no Sonic screwdrivers (or 'magic wands' as they've also been nicknamed) - although a weaker version of the Doctor's sonic screwdriver might just be allowed- nor anything like that.
When In Battle:
- If you are in a battle, do not say you 'destroyed the enemy with one blow/bullet/swipe' etc. Unless you've found the monsters weakness (i.e Slitheen can be killed with vinegar), then it's not going to be that easy to kill. Doctor Who monsters don't die easily…
- To start off with I'm going to be lenient with how you deal with the monsters you face. In the first fight you can say you killed a monster, without necessarily having the green light from a GM. (If in battle and fighting for your life, that is.) However, this is only allowed if it does not conflict with the rule directly above this one.
- However, as the RP goes on and the challenges get harder, try not to mention whether or not the creature survived from your actions. It will be up to the GM to determine whether your action was a success or not. So you can say you lunged at it, fired bullets at it – whatever – but do not say words to the effect of 'And the monster exploded/died/was defeated.' That will be up to the GM. (After all, we can't have the enemy killed of too quickly now can we?)
- This one isn't so much a rule as a guideline. Don't assume that to defeat a Dr Who enemy you HAVE to kill it with a weapon. In fact in Doctor Who, a lot more time is spent running away from the enemy, hiding from the enemy, dodging/avoiding the enemy and trying to out-smart the enemy. Just think about it – how many times have you seen the Doctor defeat an enemy with a gun or a weapon? Compare that to all the times he has defeated the enemy in other ways. So try and be inventive and creative when faced with an enemy. Although, as Torchwood or UNIT will tell you, nothing is wrong with going in all guns blazing either…and since you'll be working with Torchwood too, your character might want to have a go at both techniques (provided it wouldn't be OOC for them to do so).
- With the above in mind, if you're planning on doing something really crazy, but just so crazy it might work…then you will need a GM to determine whether your crazy idea was a success – no matter what stage you are in the RP. And sometimes crazy ideas can backfire, horribly…Keep that in mind before you take the risk. On the one hand, one of your crazy ideas might be the only way to defeat the monster…on the other hand, that 'crazy' idea might turn out to be a 'stupid' idea.
Future Companions/Allies of the Doctor – what Qualifies?
In the way of companions and friends, the Doctor has picked up many of them over the years, all with different backgrounds, personality, gender, sexuality, species, age, Rank, and from all walks of life. So you've got a wide variety to choose from in the way of colourful characters. Don't limit yourself more than you need to. They can be and expert in the field of Science or some other profession, they could be working for some sort of organisation, armed forces, or they could be just your average Joe. They don't have to be 'special', but neither do they have to be 'ordinary'. A Doctor's Companion can be just about anybody.
- Relationships/Interaction with Doctor
[By 'relationships' here, I'm not referring to love interest or friendships, but the way they help and guide one another]
Just because you're the Doctors companion, that doesn't mean to say you can't have your differences (However, it would also help if your character had some things they agree on too).
Once both sides have got to know each other a little, Doctor's companions tend to act as a foil for the Doctor – whilst the Doctor is the Companion's 'Sherlock', the companion is the Doctor's 'Watson' – and although both of them are capable of working alone, both of them find they need one another in the end. The companion often finds that they need the Doctor because they can't fight it alone, but the Doctor needs them just as much. As one of his companions once told him, "I think sometimes you need someone to stop you."
And although companions are on the same side as the Doctor, they don't always agree. Companions have been known to go against the Doctors advice or decisions – sometimes it's the wrong thing to do, and the companion ends up eating their words when they end up in deep water. But sometimes the companion turns out to be in the right (A good example of this is Donna Noble – who has proven the Doctor wrong on quite a few occasions, often standing up to him and making him think twice about a decision he's made).
They can also have slightly different morals. (See below for 'Weapon or no weapon')
So remember – a companion doesn't always have to agree with everything the Doctor says/does. They can have their disagreements.
- Intelligence
The Doctor's companions are (usually) smart, on the ball and quick-thinking. However, there have been exceptions to this rule too (See 'Mickey' – or as the Doctor nicknames him, "Mickey the idiot"). And smart does not mean genius, or academically intelligent. Don't forget, intelligence comes in many different forms.
- Humanity
They have some Human quality about them that the Doctor finds appealing. This can be compassion, drive, a fighting spirit, leadership, teamwork, level-headedness, or just good common sense. Any of the 'good' qualities humans possess, the Doctor holds great respect for and admiration. Don't forget, this can apply to beings who are not human as well.
However just as the Doctor loves the good human qualities, he hates the bad ones. He doesn't care for selfishness, greed, arrogance, ignorance, or smart-asses, and if a character shows nothing but these qualities, there is going to be a clash. (See 'Luke Rattigan') But to be honest, as long as your character isn't a complete jerk/bastard (Like Luke Rattigan was), this shouldn't be a problem. All characters have their faults.
- Weapon or no weapon, That is the question…
Companions, like the Doctor himself, usually use their wit, logic, intelligence and intuition (and a heck of a lot of running) to avoid and/or defeat their enemies, as apposed to using a weapon. However, does that mean weapons are out of the question? Not by a mile. Although the Doctor disapproves of violence, that often than not doesn't stop his companions. Some characters prefer very much to go in all guns blazing – such as Captain Jack, just one of many examples. So weapons are very much optional when dealing with a Doctor who companion.
Anything Else You Need To Know About The Doctor Who Universe?
Alien and Earth relations
In the Doctor Who Universe, the Earth isn't that much different from our own. Technology has moved forward slightly, but only by a fraction – Government special ops and organisations have access to alien technology, but this is kept secret from the general public. What with the Doctor's antics, alien sightings have become much more common than in our own, however. Millions of people have witnessed alien invasion, Spaceships have appeared in full view, many people have died due to extraterrestrial-related incidents…the general public and government can no longer deny the existence of aliens. However some people would still like to believe it as nothing more than a conspiracy theory, despite all the evidence pointing to it being otherwise. Although many people have opened their eyes to the possibilities of alien life, people would still think you were crazy if you told them you had met an alien. People are still in a stage of denial – where denying the existence of aliens is more comforting than facing what's staring them in the face. It's not necessarily that they are stupid. It's more because they are frightened.
The Doctor and Earth relations
As of the Doctor, the general public aren't aware of his existence. He's just another face in the crowd…someone you could walk right past on the street, someone you could chat to and then walk away from, unaware of the things he's done and the people he's saved. And the Doctor prefers it that way. He tends to stay out of the public eye, completely invisible, unknown, a stranger. Not many people are aware of his existence. However, despite his efforts, the Doctor finds he is increasingly drawing attention to himself. People who he's met and saved have talked about him, swapping stories, starting their own little conspiracy groups and setting up websites dedicated to finding him. The Doctor has also been brought to the government's attention, although very little is still known about him. All they know is that he is supposedly an expert in the field of extraterrestrial activity, and have called on his help in the past, as well as UNIT (see below).
And of course there are also special organisations that the Doctor has become associated with. This brings us to…
Organisations associated with the Doctor
The Doctor isn't the only defence the Earth has got. The Doctor can't be there to save Earth all the time…and when he's not there, it's up to these guys:
The 'Unified Intelligence Taskforce' (formerly 'United Nations Intelligence Taskforce', but the BBC had to change the name due to the United Nations deciding that they no longer wanted to be associated with the fictional organisation) – known for short as UNIT.
UNIT is a military organisation which operates (supposedly) under the support of the United Nations. Its purpose is to investigate and battle paranormal and extraterrestrial threats to the Earth.
UNIT and the Doctor have a history that goes a long way back. The Doctor even worked for UNIT back in his third incarnation, and although he longer works for them, the two have remained allies…although they haven't always seen eye-to-eye, to say the least.
These days the Doctor tends to distance himself from UNIT – since sometimes their methods tend to be less than honourable. As an organisation on the whole, their questionable attitude towards civil rights and liberties has lead the Doctor to become a bit wary of UNIT and its actions. However the Doctor and UNIT continue to have a mutual respect for one another…on the rare occasions the Doctor interacts with UNIT, he is treated something of a celebrity and veteran (much to the Doctor's embarrassment). Much of UNIT has heard of the Doctor, but very few have had the opportunity to meet him. All due respect aside, however, UNIT prefer to run things 'their way' – even if it goes against the Doctor's wishes.
~~The Torchwood Institute~~
An under-cover organisation that is outside the Government, beyond the police. They are your Doctor Who version of the Men in Black, and they've been established for well over a century – no one knows of their existence, and Torchwood like to keep it that way. To be a member of Torchwood is a life-long commitment – the only way you leave Torchwood is through taking an amnesia pill known as 'Retcon' to wipe your memory…or death. They put a claim that 'if it's alien, it's ours', and they have advanced their technology way beyond 21st century means through taking any alien technology they can get their hands on.
The Torchwood Institute was first set up by Queen Victoria, after she had an encounter with the Doctor. It is all thanks to the Doctor (indirectly) that the organisation even exists. Queen Victoria saw the destruction and death the Doctor left in his wake, and declared the Doctor as a threat to Earth. A secret organisation was set up, its purpose: to put a stop to alien life forms (whether dangerous or not) – including the Doctor.
The role of Torchwood has changed dramatically in recent years. During the Battle of Canary Wharf (See 'Army of Ghosts'/'Doomsday'), the main HQ of Torchwood in London (Torchwood 1) was dismembered, the Head of the Torchwood Institute at the time being killed. Captain Jack Harkness, former companion to the Doctor, has since taken over Torchwood. Although Torchwood still prefers to kill first – ask questions later, and uses violence as a first resort, under Captain Jack's guidance the organisation has become a force for good, defending the Earth against alien threat instead of going on the offensive. These days they spend their time monitoring rifts in space and time, fighting the aliens that actually pose as a threat and sending the others on their way. At first the Doctor was completely against Torchwood – but now with Captain Jack at the helm, Torchwood and the Doctor have become firm allies. The Doctor still isn't too keen on their use of violence, however…
Other Unrelated (but important) Organisations
~~The Time Agency~~
An organisation from the future. Not much is know about them. The Time Agency is a group apparently based in the 51st century and employing Human Time Agents. It is unknown how long it existed, but it was shut down sometime in the 51st century. The Agents utilized wrist straps (time vortex manipulators) which enabled them to travel through time to go on missions of an unspecified nature.
It seems despite being a time traveler, even the Doctor knows very little about them. The only connection between the Doctor and the Agency is that Captain Jack, a companion of the Doctor, used to work for them. From what can be gathered, however, the Time Agency was quite a shady organisation.
Character sheet
-Both OC's and existing Dr who characters fill this form out. If you intend to play an existing Dr who character, treat it as though you are introducing a completely unknown character. Details are encouraged.
Name: Self-explanatory.
Age: The age range for Doctor who companions/allies is very wide. The Doctor has picked up a variety of characters of all different ages, so I'm going to be pretty lenient with this. But please, if you're going to be a different species other than human, don't make it too old. Have some common sense. If your age is older than 900 then you know you're going way too far. Similarly, child characters are discouraged. Teenagers are acceptable, but the majority of characters should be adults (18 and over).
Gender: This is self-explanatory.
Species/Race: Tread carefully here. Since this RP is going to be based a lot around Earth, the majority of CS's should be human. However, if you want to be a different species, that's fine, as long as they possess human-like qualities. Also bear in mind this is a Sci-fi show, and although it does have some fantasy/magical elements, it is not a fantasy adventure. These are aliens. So no angels, demons, elves etc…although you might get away with something that is 'angel-like' etc, within reason. Please describe your species as much as you can. (Feel free to use an existing Dr who species if you want, provided it isn't a Dr who enemy.) Robots are not allowed, although you might just get away with a Cyborg – we'll see how it goes.
Again, use your common sense. As awesome as it would be, no Time Lords please.
Current Location: All players start the RP on Earth. But where abouts on Earth is your character located? (For existing Dr Who characters, please also include when the last time you saw the Doctor was. Name the episode where you last met the Doctor if you can.)
*Organisation: Optional. Does your character belong to any alien-fighting organisation?
Appearance: Please give a good detailed description – especially if your character does not look human/has something in-human about it.
Don't forget, if you're not human, you'll need to keep yourself low-key and/or have a way of disguising your alien form, since you're going to be starting the RP on Earth – if people saw you waltzing around with bright green skin/a tail/wings growing out of your back, you'd be feared, killed or put on display as a freak (possibly all three).
Personality: What is your character like? How do they tend to view the world/interact with others? You might want to include a bit about their beliefs. To what extent do they believe in alien life? (Note: Although they can have doubts, they can't be complete sceptics in order for this RP to work for them).
*Weapons/Gadgets/Tech: Optional. You can choose if your character carries weapons/tech or not.
Since this is Sci-fi based (in a vague Dr Who way), futuristic/alien weapons will be allowed. But if you are an OC, human and have never been involved in alien activity/organisations before, I highly doubt you'd have any futuristic/alien tech on you. So be sensible and logical please. There will be opportunities during the RP to add to your arsenal – so don't worry.
- In regards to tech, nothing too powerful, no time-travel/vortex-manipulation devices, and certainly no Time lord or Dalek technology.
- Also, any weapon is allowed, but again nothing too powerful. Rule is, if it's powerful enough to destroy a Dalek or Cyberman, then it's a 'No' without question. NPC's might let you 'borrow' more powerful weapons later on. So keep it simple please, and not too powerful. If it's a futuristic/alien weapon, please describe a bit how it works/how effective it is.
Talents/Skills: As a potential Doctor's companion, what talents/skills does your character have to offer? Maybe they're good with computer-hacking (like Mickey), have good medical/scientific knowledge (like Martha), are skilled with a gun (like Jack), or maybe it's something as simple as having a bronze medal in gymnastics (Rose) – just something that you're character is really good at. Things like compassion, charisma, good agility/stamina, problem-solving, good leadership skills etc can also be included/mentioned here.
Faults/Weakness: No human or species is without its faults in Doctor Who. Even the Doctor is far from perfect. What are your character's weak points? (Focus on weaknesses within their personality, although if your character has any physical weaknesses then mention them too).
Background: Talk a little about your character's life up to the point of receiving that message from the Doctor. What was it like? Did you have a job? Have you had any dealings/encounters with alien life before (if so describe it, i.e. Maybe you are a former member of an alien-fighting organisation, such as UNIT? Or maybe you've simply witnessed an alien life-form before now?), or is the Doctor the first alien you've ever met?
*For OC's only: How do you think your character will meet the Doctor in this 'future' he's told you about?
Just for fun/optional. You can use your character's personality, talents and background as a guide, and based on that information have a go at guessing a scenario in which the Doctor and your character would 'bump into each other', and result in you aiding him in some way/defeating aliens/saving the world etc. It can be in a big way or a small way. You might only meet the Doctor for a brief few minuets, or you might end up travelling with him as a full time companion. It's completely up to you, since it's based on a future your character (ultimately) knows nothing about.
*Theme: Just for fun. Because every character needs a theme song. (You can have up to two themes – one serious theme and one light-hearted theme, since Doctor Who often has a mixture of light and dark elements).
EDIT- Oh, I forgot to say - you can play up to two characters if you wish.

loved them
Splash of Autumn Rectangle Invitations I ordered these invitations to save money, but really love them. the color is bright and vibrant, the text is clear and crisp. Everything looks exactly as it does on the web pages.

VERY HAPPY!!

How to build a shed base
A firm, level base should be the starting point for any shed or garden building. Without this the structure is likely to be assembled improperly - screw holes will not line up correctly, doors may not fit their doorways and the quality and service life of your shed could be greatly reduced.

Nkiru Sylvanus Secretly Married to Vice President's Aide as 2nd Wife?
Few days after she was released from kidnappers den, Nollywood actress and Special Assistant on Public Affairs to Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State, Nkiru Sylvanus got married to her long time heartthrob secretly, yemojanews.com can exclusively revealed.
The man who swept the actress feet is the media spokesman of Vice President Namadi Sambo, Mallam Umar Sani. Our sources revealed that the wedding which held two weeks ago was given a media blackout and attended by handful of family members.
we nkirugathered that the wedding was made hush-hush because of the media attention that greeted the kidnapping of the actress and because the VP's media man has a wife already which will make Nkiru his second wife.
Nkiru Sylvanus was kidnapped by some gunmen in Owerri on Saturday, December 15, 2012 and demanded a ransom of 100 million naira for her release.
The actress was released about a week after, though there were unconfirmed reports that a ransom was paid.
One of the Vice President's Spokesman's friends confirmed the marriage and told yemojanews.com that, "it is not for public knowledge".
We learnt Nkiru and Umar Sani had been dating for a while and it was Sani, who got the political appointment for the actress in Imo State.
"Umar Sani and Rochas Okorocha are close friends. Umar facilitated Nkiru's appointment in Imo State. You know Nkiru is from Abia State and not Imo", our source declared.
The source further told us that it was Umar Sani that paid ransom of several millions of naira which made the kidnappers to release the actress

I heard Okorocha wasn't happy that she went off with this guy. He wasn't going to marry anyway and I guess she had to move on. Also, the pressure from the First Lady was heavy.
This guy didn't get her the job in Imo State. She was the first ambassador for the Face of Hope project by the Rochas Okorocha foundation. Her progress started from there.

In a reply to an e-mail we sent to the Dean of Students, he wrote:"I appreciate your concern about this case, but you are mistaken as to my role in it. The Associated Press article on this story is misleading in one particular way. My comment was made Thursday (before any charges had been filed; the charge was filed Friday) and was in response to a question about whether I thought the police had acted reasonably in being concerned about the bike. I agree that we could debate this point as well, but, nonetheless, the article makes it sound (incorrectly) like my comment was supporting the decision to file charges. This decision was made by police in consultation with the prosecutor. I had no involvement in the decision to file a charge.
In any case, an agreement has been reached today to drop the charge against Patrick." [the grad student with the bike]
More info at Punk News.From the Friday 3/3/06 Akron Beacon Journal: Student charged with inducing panic over bike bomb scare
ATHENS, Ohio - A graduate student was charged with inducing panic in a bomb scare at Ohio University over a sticker on a bicycle that read "this bike is a pipe bomb," which authorities figured out was the name of a punk rock band.
Four buildings on campus were shut down Thursday, streets were blocked off and a bomb squad was summoned from Columbus after a member of the university police force noticed the Patrick K. Hanlin's bike chained outside an on-campus restaurant about 5:30 a.m. The bomb experts destroyed the bike to find no bomb inside.
University police charged Hanlin, 28, on Thursday after he came forward as the biker's owner, OU spokesman Jack Jeffery said. The charge carries a maximum penalty of six months in jail.
Dean of Students Terry Hogan said authorities responded to the sticker appropriately. "This is one of these circumstances where, in these times, these are the kinds of incidents that cause all of us to take pause, and I think we have to be concerned," he said."
Saturday 3/4 is with the always crazy Japanese electro-Devo-punk masters/mistresses Polysics! The show is at the Cafe Du Nord on Market Street near the Castro in San Francisco. Also playing is Los Abandoned from Los Angeles. Sunday 3/5 is with A Kiss Could Be Deadly and Miraflores at the brand new Annie's Social Club at 5th and Folsom!

From Barfly:"Pig Champion" Roberts, guitarist for Poison Idea, died at his home in Portland, Oregon, Monday night [January 30, 2006]. A founding member of the seminal punk band, he continued to appear with Poison Idea throughout the late nineties and into the new millennium, despite officially quitting the band in 1993. Variously described as "spectacularly fat", and "the single largest man in hardcore history", Roberts crowned himself "Pig Champion" after hitting an impressive 450 lbs. on the scales. The highly regarded guitarist was revered by a devoted following worldwide. Fans and friends alike will feel the loss keenly."
From Joann Rawkmom, on the RKL official message board on 2/1/06:
" Jason Sears, singer for RKL, Santa Barbara local, father, skater, punk @#%$, died today battling his illness. It has been a hard year for 805 crew 3 RKL members in less than a year is a huge loss. I knew each and everyone one of them... each had touched my life in many ways over the last 20 years... When I moved to Santa Barbara in August 1987 Jason made me feel right at home. To watch all three of these people rise and fall over the last 20 years has been a beautiful and tragic expericence."
A San Diego Union Tribune article has more information about Jason's death.
"Jack Control, lead vocalist of hardcore punk bands Severed Head of State and World Burns to Death, Long time force in the Texas Punk Scene and behind Mind Control Records, was stabbed and seriously wounded in an altercation at a show in Austin, Texas on Saturday January 28th. There was a large show on the North Loop in Austin-An earlier show at a Record Store had featured J-Church, Army of Jesus and Storm The Tower and a later show was with Manikin at the Pizza Parlor a few doors down. At the end of the night some random trainhopper kids got rowdy. One guy went on a rampage and kicked in the glass doors of the venue, and then tried to kick in the windows of the anarchist bookstore next door and windows of cars parked on the street. When confronted by the people running the show, including members of World Burns to Death and Signal Lost, a big mess of a brawl broke out. Jack stepped in to stop a guy from hitting Jasmine from Signal Lost and one of the trainhoppers came from behind and stabbed jack in the gut just below the ribs. Jack's wounds required over three hours of surgery and he lost 4 pints of blood. Jack has stabilized and will recover, but is still in ICU at Brackenridge hospital. The person who stabbed Jack (who goes by the name of "Bingo") fled, but was arrested nearby. He is currently in police custody and being charged for attempted murder. Jack has no medical insurance and will face a monolithic amount of medical and legal bills, as well as missed time from work as a result of this. A pay pal account has been established at firstname.lastname@example.com for anyone willing to donate funds to help Jack with his expenses. People wishing to run charity Auctions on Auction sites such as Ebay, Yahoo or DIY auction to raise pay pal funds for Jack please put "Jack Control" in the item title and description. People wanting to buy benefit items can search for them by putting "Jack Control" in the search box. A benefit show will be held in Austin on February 9th at Emo's 603 Red River with Signal Lost, Camp X-Ray, Army Of Jesus, Iron Age and Modern Needs performing.

Tom Waits has won a landmark legal victory in Spain, establishing his moral rights in a case brought against car manufacturer Volkswagen-Audi (VAESA) and a Spanish production company for adapting one of Waits' songs and impersonating his voice in a television commercial. It is the first time that such moral rights - protecting the personality and reputation of writers and authors - have been established in a Spanish court, acknowledging an artist's voice as his creative work. The judgement, rendered by the Appeal Court of Barcelona, also recognised that VAESA and the production company, Tandem Company Guasch, had infringed the Intellectual Property Rights of both Waits and Hans Kusters Music, Waits' music publisher in Spain. The commercial, for Audi cars, was originally screened in Spain in 2000. As well as having much the same melodic structure as the Tom Waits' song 'Innocent When You Dream', the commercial's music was arranged like the song and featured a Tom Waits' vocal impersonation. At the time of making the commercial Tandem Campany Guasch had sought permission to use Waits' original version of 'Innocent When You Dream', a request he rejected. "Now they understand the words to the song better," says Waits. "It wasn't 'Innocent When You Scheme' it was 'Innocent When You Dream'." Waits and Hans Kusters Music won an initial court judgement in March 2004. The case then went to the Appeal Court, ultimately resulting in this month's groundbreaking legal victory. Tom Waits first learned about the commercial from fans when visiting Spain in the summer of 2000. Many believed it was Waits singing his own song on the commercial, even despite the fact he has always been adamant that his music will never be used for advertising purposes. The judgement is the latest in a line of successful legal actions Waits has taken to prevent his music and image from being associated with commercial products. He has most recently filed suit against General Motors' Opel and the advertising agency McCann Erickson in Frankfurt, Germany, for producing and broadcasting a series of car commercials that used a perfect impersonation of Waits' singing voice. The commercials were produced in Germany and aired in Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Norway during the late winter and early spring of last year. Among other claims, the suit charges the defendants with violating Waits' moral rights under German law.

Episode Information
Some years ago, my friend Humphrey Tonkin approached me -- and many other people in the Hartford community -- about a project. Each of us would be assigned a Shakespeare sonnet to record. There were politicians, writers, educators, savants. You never knew. One of the best readings came from George Scott, founder of Hartford's West Indian Bakery.
I don't know very much about sonnets, but I can feel that there is something about the form that calls to us across time. In the case of Shakespeare, a lot of the sonnets actually seem to be about the passage of time. The sonnet never completely goes away, but every so often we feel the need, anyway, to bring it back, to remind ourselves of this persistent form into which so much passion and yearning and regret have been channeled.
So today, Humphrey and two contemporary poets join us to revisit our old 14-line friend. They also serve who stand and wait.

Calibre YieldAnalyzer
As volume IC production increases in the sub-100nm nodes, manufacturing costs increase dramatically and yield is increasingly sensitive to both random and systematic defects and process variations. Calibre® YieldAnalyzer integrates random (critical area) and systematic (critical feature) process variability analysis using model-based algorithms that automatically plug layout measurements into yield-related equations to help you identify hot spots—areas of your physical design that have higher sensitivity to variations across the manufacturing process window. Designers can use this tool not only for critical area extraction and yield prediction, but also as a reference tool to enable more effective design enhancement.
Calibre YieldAnalyzer performs critical area analysis (CAA) on all base and interconnect layers to identify areas of a layout with excess vulnerability to random particle defects, such as shorts and opens, due to close spacing of layout features. A CAA deck is configured with the layer mappings for the designs being evaluated, and foundry estimates for the defect density distributions for each process and defect type (open/short). Calibre YieldAnalyzer then uses this CAA deck to calculate the amount of area in each layout layer that is susceptible to a short or open for a range of defect sizes. This distribution of critical area by defect size is produced for each layer and each defect type. These critical area distributions are then multiplied by the defect density distributions for the corresponding layer and defect type to determine the failure probability. These probabilities are used to identify random defect hotspots.
Critical Feature Analysis
Critical Feature Analysis (CFA) quantifies design sensitivity to a systematic issue as represented by adherence to a recommended rule. To implement CFA, a rule deck is configured with a list of recommended rules and estimates for weighting functions for each rule based on foundry recommended rule priorities. Calibre YieldAnalyzer uses this deck to generate a weighted score for each recommended rule violation.
Forward Annotated to Place & Route Tools
CAA and CFA data can be forward-annotated to P&R tools like Olympus-SoC™, automatically reducing the critical area while ensuring that correct timing is preserved. Calibre YieldEnhancer uses CAA and CFA results to automatically specify a variety of interconnect and base layer enhancements, such as via doubling, via enclosure expansion and general edge moving, to improve yield.
Features and Benefits
- Results in a "DRC-clean" and "LFD-clean" sign-off
- Gives users the ability to improve yield by creating a design that is less sensitive to variations in a given manufacturing process.
- Uses product-proven RET recipes and process models to simulate lithography effects.
- LFD Kit predicts and captures areas of potential design failure due to the manufacturing process and specific process conditions and communicates issues to the designer for possible layout modification.
- Design Variability Index (DVI™) provides data that helps the designer make decisions about which layout configuration is best for increased robustness to process variation.
- LFD data reporting presented in a user-friendly DRC-type form that can be classified, sorted and include comments for possible solutions, all within the design environment.
- Easily integrated into the design flow for interactive and iterative processes.
- Fully integrated with the Calibre platform, popular layout environments and industry standard formats.

Soapstone Elephant
Buy It!
I love this when I have company over they always tell me how much they like it
September 17, 2011
One of my favorite purchases ever!!!
My mother told me, when I moved into my own apartment that I needed an elephant somewhere for good luck so I went searching all around for one. I saw this little guy and was instantly smitten. Considering how inexpensive it is, this piece is beautifully crafted. Everyone who comes to visit is always attracted to it and they always comment on how beautiful it is and how interesting it is that there is also a smaller elephant carved from the same piece of stone inside the stomach of the bigger one. Overall it is a great shelf piece and I would give this as a present to anyone I really wanted to impress.
February 20, 2011
Highly Detailed and Attractive
This is a must have for anyone who enjoys a hand crafted item of excellent quality. I am very Impressed with this item, he looks lovely on my shelf next to my other handcarved goodies. Very attractive and a great conversation piece.
February 17, 2011
Absolutely Love It!
A small but beautiful addition to any room. So nice that I ordered another one because the item is rarely available in the store.
January 28, 2011
A wonderful tabletop decoration
Elephant is the symbol of peace and elegant in Asia. The green tea colors also give a hint of zen. I still cannot believe this wonderful handcarved decoration costs such a low price! Best product in Worldmarket so far!
