The Tumi Difference
Add-a-bag system
Quickly and easily add another travel piece or business case using our patented Add-A-Bag hook with secure fastened tab closure that holds in excess of 200 pounds. Also, many Tumi business cases and totes feature a back sleeve that slips over extended luggage handles allowing you to stack and carry heavier bags on your wheeled luggage. Used together, these features allow travelers to effortlessly carry two or three items at the same time with one hand.
Omega Closure System®
Tumi's patented closure system significantly reduces the risk of damage to the zipper. The Omega zipper puller is designed to break away from the bag if it becomes caught. The puller, rather than the entire zipper, is then quickly and easily replaced.
FXT Ballistic Nylon®
Tumi was the first to bring ballistic nylon to the consumer market over 30 years ago. Now we have perfected it with our exclusive FXT ballistic fabric, which combines a unique weave and a special coating to make it ultra-tough and virtually abrasion proof.
Tumi Tracer®
The Tumi Tracer® is an exclusive, complimentary program that helps reunite Tumi customers with their lost or stolen items. The core of the program is a unique 20-digit individual product number printed on a special metal plate that is permanently affixed to Tumi products. That number, along with the owners contact information, is entered into our Tracer database when a bag is registered with us, and used to help aid in the recovery of lost or stolen items that are reported to us.
X-Brace 45® Handle System
This patented, innovative handle tube system protects the telescopic handle of the travel case. It is made from lightweight-yet-sturdy aircraft-grade aluminum that forms a protective, impact-absorbing structure around telescoping handle tubes within the case. This feature virtually eliminates damage to the handle tubes while reducing the overall weight of the case.
Aircraft Grade Aluminum Extension Handle
The tubing of our telescoping handles is made from aircraft-grade aluminum, making them both lightweight and extremely sturdy.
This bag is especially designed for convenient, lightweight mobility, while meeting Tumis rigorous durability standards for checked luggage.
Tumi's patented DuraFold construction method folds and reinforces the corners of hardside cases with heavy-duty stitching and impact-resistant caps that provide superior corner strength and impact resistance for long lasting use.

Fomer Devo Drummer Alan Meyers Dies Of Cancer
Thursday, June 27, 2013
Former Devo drummer Alan Meyers, who was behind the kit during the band's late-'70s and early-'80s heyday, died of cancer on June 24th, according to Billboard. Meyers, who was the band's third drummer, joined the band in 1976 and left a decade later. Meyers work can be heard on Devo's classic albums -- the band's 1978 debut Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!; 1979's Duty Now For The Future; 1980's Freedom Of Choice, 1981's New Traditionalists, and the band's 1980 signature Top 15 hit, "Whip It."
Devo co-founder Gerald Casale saluted Meyers' work with the band via twitter saying: "In praise of Alan Myers, the most incredible drummer I had the privilege to play with for 10 years. Losing him was like losing an arm. RIP!! I begged him not to quit Devo. He could not tolerate being replaced by the Fairlight and autocratic machine music. I agreed. Alan, you were the best -- a human metronome and then some. A once in a lifetime find thanks to Bob Mothersbaugh. U were born to drum Devo!"

quote:Does anybody have any experiences with the travel perks?
quote:I was looking at getting a AMEX Gold Rewards card. Supposed to give you alot of points for travel and I've seen a few posters talk about all the free travel they get of their rewards card.
quote:That's what I do. I've amassed 250,000 Delta Skymiles since 2005. Would be stupid not to get a card with good rewards.
quote:There are a ton of perks available through this Gold Premium card that you can earn triple and double points.
quote:The platinum used to be awesome... It used to "refund" you any airline "fees" of the airline of your choice that was under $200 bags, drinks, etc.... They quickly took it away due to abuse and now it's just up to $200 per year of the airline of your choice
quote:I want the extra MQM's and Lounge access... I am very happy with my Amex
quote:Say what? You drink $500 worth of alcohol in the lounges? How does that work? You get access to lounges and get drinks for free?
quote:I would personally not get an Amex because there's probably not a ton of places you can even use it.
quote:This couldn't be more incorrect. I have been all over the world with my AMEX and I am consistently traveling and I can count on one hand the amount of times I had to pay with another method.
quote:Fee is like $150 if i recall but you get a buy one get one free on Delta and no check bag fees and get to board before everyone.

Men have two weeks maternity leave yet women have a year and feminists have begrudged us men having three months off for it...that is what "equality" is to these women, it's all Equal so long as they're being treated better than everyone else.
move to some Canada Lash, its equally a year for either gender of parent...
meaning combined a working couple can each take a year off,in turns to look after their newborn...( I could be wrong though..maybe its 6 months each, or whatever they want to split it up to, to combine 1 year.
I think I'm right about it..its changed a lot here ,I know that lash..fathers are given the very same rights ine maternity leave as mothers are..they are seen as a valued parent,as well they should be...because they are vital in the upbringing of a child,and their role in the family.
I do understand your hatred for "men bashing", same as "women" bashing can get silly as well.
All men do not act the same,all men.do not stay the same, much like women,,,,I get what you mean,but I think personally if you wanted to show her ...that you were right about this..and she was wrong..
Treat her like gold lash, be charming, sensitive, polite, and show her how wrong she really is...I know you could do that..
not n a fake way either lash, but a sincere way of being a "gentlemen"
I think that is what she is looking for,perhaps?

Ever come across a website where you thought "wow those are great images" (usually on a digital art of photography website) and then proceeded to save them all to your computer one by one? Well save your self the pain of having to do that next time around by using OpenImage:
OpenImage is an open source and portable software which allows you to download all the images (JPG, PNG, GIF, and BMP) from a URL you specify:
You are given the option to filter out which images to download by image type and size (resolution). Unfortunately during my testing I found out the "MinimumSize" and "MaximizeSize" filters do not work properly; however filtering by image type works just fine.
OpenImage is really as simple to use as it sounds. However one thing to keep in mind when trying to download images is some websites use thumbnails for images and you have to click on the image to get the full size. OpenImage, unfortunately, will download the thumbnail and not the full image. Hopefully in the future the developer will add the ability to automatically detect thumbnails and download the full image.
Last thing I would like to point out is you have the option to automatically rename the images you download:
While I agree this software will vary in useful from person to person and situation to situation I think it is worth the download if you think you will need it especially considering it is a standalone and portable app (431 KB) so you do not have to install anything.
You can grab OpenImage from the following link:
***Note: You will be prompted to accept Microsoft's "Public License" before you can download this software.

I downloaded the zip.
I look for the help file and it saysThis project does not have documentation yet.
?? really?
no readme.txt file.
the link to the authour's Blog is 404 not found.Against my better Judgement I will give it a whirl and see how it goes.
I trust Ashraf, and if he says it's good, that's good enough for me.Thanks for keeping DoTtech going all these years :) you are awesome.
The best free Image downloader I have ever used is BilderHerunterlader:
http://bihe.berlios.de/page/?loc=bilderherunterlader&lng=en – Home Page
http://www.ghacks.net/2008/12/26/batch-download-images-from-image-hosting-sites/ – Ghacks Review
This Java-based application is available in English and German, can be integrated with Firefox, SeaMonkey, Opera and Internet Explorer and has a portable version. It works flawlessly for me for downloading the entire images, not the thumbnails only. Although the developer has announced that it had been discontinued, today there is a new release- 3.6.4
Be sure you have any programs that use IE shut down, such as email, messengers,etc. Then try upgrading IE. You may still need to restart first, if so, before you restart you should disable these items on your startup menu using msconfig. To get to msconfig click on run, type msconfig, click ok, in msconfig click on startup tab and uncheck the entries you want to disable. Don't delete them, just uncheck them. Then when you're done updating IE you can go to msconfig and recheck them so they,ll restart on your next startup if you want them to. Then try downloading OpenImage again. -
Download OK (zipfile) with XP Sp3.
The program seems easy to use indeed, compared to various webrippers. Thanks again ! -
Thanks Ashraf,
But I already have IE6 on my computer and it won't even let me upgrade to it. It tells me that my Browser has an incomplete process going on { OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT } and that I have to log off and restart Windows before I can upgrade it. But that seems to just be a joke because it gives me the same message the next time I restart my computer.
Thanks for trying to help me, but I think that I'm just going to have to pass on this one.
Keep up the good work.
Sorry, I was trying to redo my hard drive to see if that would help.
Ok, I just tried renaming it to .zip and now it tells me that there aren't any files to extract. But if I right click it, it still shows the original 86.5kbs are still there.
@justnakenny: Wouldn't just renaming the file to a .zip extention work, or am I missing something? (I've been known to miss a lot of things in my life.)
Try renaming the ASPX to zip, and see if that works. -
I'm using IE 5.5, since my system is old " WinME," like I am.
Google says that I can open it with notepad and I can, but that just allows me to read it and not use it.
I feel dumb again, because it says that it's a " Zip File," and it downloads as an " ASPX File."
Can somebody please tell me how I'm supposed to open this one up?

I found this over at Dumbing of Age, the sister strip to Walky's Shortpacked! and I though I'd post it here in case anyone would be interested in reading the list and voting.
I added SANFU's name to the list of 'overlooked' webcomics (specifically Grim Tales and PPGD) but I'm not sure if there's enough time left for the mods to add them to the voting options or not. If nothing else maybe it'll get some new fans for the series and that's always a good thing right?
And off topic, I can't believe they forgot Sabrina Online! Things been running since 1994 and they overlooked it??
Anyway, a pretty damm good list of new webcomics to check out at least but here's hoping SNAFU gets some much deserved praise from the webcomic community!

5 Great Filmbalmoraljames | 15/02/2011 | See all balmoraljames's reviews (228)Top 100 DVD Reviewer Its not until you watch a Bruce Willis film that you wonder why you havent seen more, he is as ever fantastic in this film and proves that he is every bit as engaging as he was in the die hard films.This film has fantastic set action pieces and great gun play. The dialogue is very witty and the plot is although not that original very amusing and entertaining.I loved this film as did my wife, there is something here for everyone.
5 Full of action packed silly fun!!! 5**Nathan444 | 08/12/2010 | See all Nathan444's reviews (274)Top 10 Reviewer Top 10 DVD Reviewer Top 100 Games Reviewer Top 100 Gadgets Reviewer I really did enjoy this film, A great cast, A great storyline, with some very nice scenes.Its a very good action comedy basically. Your normal status quo of explosions and fight scenes superbly mastered by Robert schwetke to pull off a fantastic film. Which is well worth a watch.The best thing about this film is the cast and the acting. each brought their best to this film. To make it even more enjoyable.If you liked this you will likeThe A TeamThe ExpendablesPrince of Persia: The sands of TimeThe American
5 Great fun!Mochacino | 23/01/2011 | See all Mochacino's reviews (2)Didn't initially intend to see this in the movies, but we were late and it was the only movie in the cinema we were on time for. Expected this to be rubbish, but it was actually so much fun! The cast was brilliant and I did actually have a few 'laugh out loud' moments which I don't normally. I'm looking forward to buying this movie once it is released on DVD!!
4 Good Silly All Star FunRambo456 | 29/10/2010 | See all Rambo456's reviews (1259)Top 10 Reviewer Top 10 DVD Reviewer Top 100 Music Reviewer Number 1 Gadgets Reviewer Top 100 Clothing Reviewer Top 10 Toys Reviewer Very enjoyable Action Comedy with a pretty cool cast.Story is your usual run of the mill, with a predictable end result.But thats obviously not why u wanna watch it.You wanna watch it to be Entertained, Laugh and watch some pretty Big ExplosionsThe Main reason though is to check out a pretty awesome cast, most of who are on top of their game.Bruce Willis is back on cool dude form. John Malkovich is Hilarious. Helen Mirren is Bad Ass with a Machine Gun.Morgan Freeman is a little under used though.You also then have Richard Dreyfuss in a Shady role that he hams up to the max. The always brilliant Brian Cox playing a RussianKarl Urban is pretty cool as the CIA Hunter and it was a nice surprise to see Ernie Borgnine, from the Airwolf TV series.To summarise, pretty good entertainer from Start to Finish
5 Fantastic. Absolutely fantastic !Rickster83 | 21/03/2011 | See all Rickster83's reviews (4)Loved this film.The slow-motion effects make it a tad far-fetched in places, but otherwise - BRILLIANT. The main gem - seeing Helen Mirren in such a macho role, this makes the movie just amazing. A must watch, rent or BUY !

5 Big kids or little ones will love this gameLolpf25 | 18/05/2008 | See all Lolpf25's reviews (1)I bought his game solely for the reason that I buy all Dr Who merchandise. thought I'd install it and forget it but wait a miniute, This is great! The theme music overlaid with sound fx adds to the excitement of what could have been a quite bland game. It's fast paced - with graphics to match and comes with bonus mini games. The ease of use makes for a good game whether you play the PC or a mate. The ratings for each character are well worked out so that the highest score on a card isn't always guarranteed to beat your opposition. The colours are vibrant, the fx loud and the fun of guessing whether Harriet Jones has a darker score factor than say, the Dalek Emperor will prove that this game is suited to 'older' players as well as the young 'uns. One gripe tho', if installing on Vista, first download the latest Direct-X drivers from the main installation menu before installing the game. Your Direct-X drivers are probably out of date already and it'll save you a frustrating time trying to contact Support for help as they don't have a Top Trumps/Doctor Who support section yet. Apart from that, once it's on your PC, you'll begin to gain access to the data bank among other features. A well thought out game with plenty of exploration, travels, quizes and much more. Money well spent, Now all we need is a 7th Guest type game to complete our Doctor Who fun.
3 Game requires persistence more than skill.Rightmango2007 | 03/11/2009 | See all Rightmango2007's reviews (1)I am not a computer game player. I find most games either confusing or hard to navigate, but I found this game to be simple in terms of game play and objectives. If anything a little too simple as after one day even I had completed it.It was an enjoyable way to waste away a rainy Sunday, but I doubt that I will ever play it again now its completed.

Draw Something Pro (Mini-Review)
I just downloaded this today at the intro price of $2.99 and love it. The new interface gives much more room for drawing, as you can see from the screengrabs. No more dead white space on the sides! Woohoo! It maximizes the drawing space and minimizes the size of everything else. It also has a more intuitive pen size selection interface. It's also quicker scrolling through the colors since you can swipe through more colors with each swipe -- that was the biggest irritation of playing the old version, having to take forever to move across all the colors. This version doesn't totally solve it, but it's a step in the right direction! I love the unlimited bombs, so no more scrambling to get 1600 points before running out of bombs. Ten new colors, which is nice, since I have every single color possible. If you totally love Draw Something, and play it all the time, like I do, then it's worth $2.99 IMHO, but not necessarily worth $4.99, so get it now if you think you'll like it. But if you're a casual player, don't bother; stick with the free version and save your moola for games you LOVE. Playing Draw Something Pro with other Ipad users After playing the Pro version for awhile this morning, I thought a great feature would be to be able to pair up new matches exclusively with other Ipad players. Since that's not a feature yet, and since I couldn't find such a thread here on the forums, I thought I'd make it part of this thread. If you're looking for other Ipad players to play with, post your username here and we can get some matches going. Or just create a new match with me and tell me you saw this thread so I'll know you're not just random match. My username is bubblegumchmp. (Yes, the last four letters are purposely ambiguous -- is it champ, chimp, or just plain chump?) |

Girls' Tights
Your daughter will love these comfy girls' tights from Kmart
Girls' tights are a versatile garment that your daughter can wear with all sorts of different outfits. Whether your little girls is hanging out at home, headed to school or getting ready for a sleepover at her best friend's house, she's sure to be cozy in a good pair of tights. They're easy to match with a variety of tops or outfits, and permit full range of motion so they're always comfortable. Here at Kmart, you can find a wide selection of tights for your little girl, no matter what size or color she prefers.
When buying tights, it's a good idea to get a variety of colors. Black or white is a classic choice for girls' pants and leggings because it's flattering and goes with just about everything. Consider a few brighter options, though. Red, purple or pink tights will really stand out and can help turn a drab outfit into something much more fun and exciting. For the appearance of bare legs without the exposure, a pair of beige or nude leggings is a good choice.
Tights usually aren't worn by themselves in public; you typically wear them underneath a skirt, dress or pair of shorts. If you're looking for something similar to tights that might be a little more appropriate to wear by themselves, check out a pair of girls' jeggings. They're similar to tights but have the appearance of jeans. Keep in mind the fact that different tights have different levels of thickness. Pantyhose, for instance, are a thinner version of tights. A thicker pair will be warmer and provide more coverage.
Tights are often worn in performance by dancers, actors and athletes. Ballerinas typically wear these types of girls' leggings during performances, as do certain athletes who have to perform outside in cold weather. Runners, bikers, horseback riders and other athletes have been known to wear tights in chilly weather to help keep their body temperatures up. Tights are well-suited to athletics because they allow full range of motion and don't get in your way like a baggier pair of pants would.
There are many different uses for tights, and your daughter is sure to get many hours of comfortable use out of them. Pick up a couple pairs for her in her favorite colors, and give her a few suggestions on how and when to wear them. You'll find a wide selection of high-quality girls' tights here at Kmart, where we make shopping fun and easy.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) -- Kansas Budget Director Steve Anderson is resigning at the end of the month for personal reasons, after more than three years as an architect of conservative Republican Gov. Sam Brownback's fiscal policies and a vocal advocate for massive state income tax cuts.
Brownback's office announced Friday that Anderson's resignation is effective Aug. 31. The governor praised Anderson in a statement for helping the administration erase a recession-induced budget shortfall when Brownback took office in January 2011. The governor said Anderson's work also positioned Kansas "to compete in a global economy."
"We spent a lot of time talking back and forth about tax policy and how it fit with the budget," said Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan, another key Brownback adviser. "Steve's bright, obviously -- CPA, had a lot of financial wisdom."
Anderson, a 59-year-old certified public accountant, became Brownback's top budget adviser in December 2010. Some Democratic and moderate GOP legislators immediately viewed Anderson with suspicion because he'd been a consultant for the anti-tax, small-government group Americans for Prosperity.
The wariness continued as Brownback successfully pursued cuts in personal income taxes expected to be worth $4.1 billion through mid-2018. Critics have argued that the cuts will lead to budget problems and starve public schools, higher education and social services of funds while benefiting the wealthy.
"He was more of an ideologue than what we really needed in a budget director," said Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, a Topeka Democrat.
Also, in February, Anderson publicly apologized for the Budget Division supplying Brownback with an erroneous figure -- off some $2 billion -- that led the governor to make incorrect statements about state spending in public presentations. Anderson later told a meeting of Republicans that he'd offered to resign but joked that the governor told him, "You're not getting off that easy."
But House Minority Leader Paul Davis, a Lawrence Democrat who's considering a run for governor next year, said because of the incident, "There was reason to question Mr. Anderson's credibility."
Anderson said Friday that the division quickly corrected its data and updated its data-handling procedures to prevent another such mistake. He and Brownback spokeswoman Eileen Hawley said the incident played no role in his departure.
Instead, Anderson noted he and his wife are raising two grandsons in Edmond, Okla., where he still has an accounting firm, and, while they've been supportive of him working with Brownback in Kansas, he wants to spend more time with them. He said one of the boys is entering high school, while the other is starting his senior year.
"We felt like this was a key time to be home," Anderson said in an interview. "It was always my agreement with the governor that I wouldn't stay the full first term."
Anderson believes Kansans universally will benefit from the income tax cuts and the economy will be permanently boosted.
"We're just starting to reap the benefits," Anderson said.
Anderson was born in Manhattan and grew up in the small town of Oberlin in northwest Kansas.
But he worked in the Oklahoma Office of State Finance under Gov. Frank Keating, a conservative Republican who held the office in 1995-2003 and successfully pushed to cut that state's income taxes. Anderson also is friend of current Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin, another GOP conservative who's advocated income tax cuts.
Anderson said Keating's push for tax cuts "very much shaped my view" of fiscal policy.
"I saw that it worked," he said. "And I saw that we didn't go fast enough."

Emirates announced its continued support of Emirates Team New Zealand in March 2011, as the team took further steps forward towards mounting their challenge for the 34th America's Cup in San Francisco, the oldest trophy in international sport and the pinnacle of world sailing.
The Auckland based team, who initially won the America's Cup in 1995 before successfully defending the title in 2000, will be looking to prove their winning credentials once again as an ultra-competitive field takes to the ocean in 2013.
Emirates, which has recently introduced the exceptional A380 superjumbo to the region and currently offers 28 flights to New Zealand each week, further demonstrated its commitment to New Zealand with an agreement that will see the Emirates Team New Zealand partnership stretch to nine years.
The team will race both the newly introduced and eagerly anticipated AC45 and AC72 catamaran, with the AC45 being debuted in America's Cup pre-regattas in 2011 and 2012. Grant Dalton, Emirates Team New Zealand Managing Director, paid tribute the support of the Emirates saying "We have made considerable progress because the Emirates Team New Zealand brand is an international leader, well recognized in the sport. Emirates airline has been with the team since 2004 and their decision to stay with us is important. We are fortunate to have such loyal and committed sponsors."
Emirates looks forward to supporting Emirates Team New Zealand in their quests for glory in the Louis Vuitton Trophy, MedCup and the 34th America's Cup, which culminates in San Francisco in 2013. The team will also aim to make their presence felt at The Volvo Ocean Race under the guise of Camper with Emirates Team New Zealand.

A rectal biopsy is a procedure to remove a small piece of rectal tissue for examination.
Biopsy - rectum
A rectal biopsy is usually part of anoscopy or sigmoidoscopy .
A digital rectal exam is done first. Then, a lubricated instrument (anoscope or proctoscope) is placed into the rectum. You will feel some discomfort when this is done.
A biopsy can be taken through any of these instruments.
You may get a laxative, enema, or other preparation before the biopsy so that you can completely empty your bowels. This will allow the doctor a clear view of the rectum.
There will be some discomfort during the procedure. You may feel like you need to have a bowel movement. You may feel cramping or mild discomfort as the instrument is placed into the rectal area.
A rectal biopsy is used to determine the cause of abnormal growths found during anoscopy, sigmoidoscopy, or other tests. It can also be used to confirm the diagnosis of amyloidosis .
The anus and rectum appear normal in size, color, and shape. There should be no evidence of bleeding, polyps, hemorrhoids , or other abnormalities. No problems are seen when the biopsy tissue is examined under a microscope.
This test is a common way to confirm amyloidosis. It also determines the specific causes of abnormal conditions of the rectum, such as colitis . Other findings could include:
The test may be also performed for:
There is some risk of bleeding and tearing. Occasionally, patients may develop difficulty with urination after the procedure.

Below are interactive experiments that can be used to teach all ages about the art and science of space-based remote sensing. The experiments focus on how NASA uses remote sensing to study how and why the Earth changes.
Mission: Biomes
The following two activities are designed for teachers to use in classrooms as supplementary, interdisciplinary units. Mission: Biomes is especially appropriate for grades 3 through 8, and is designed to be interactive and self-correcting which will allow each student to work at his or her own pace.
Great Graph Match
Geo Grapher needs your help to match temperature and precipitation graphs for different locations to the biomes where they belong
To Plant or Not to Plant?
Travel with Bill Botanist on an expedition to each of the world's biomes. Help him study his plant specimens and choose the best possible biome to plant each one in.
Citizen Science
The Citizens and Remote Sensing Observation Network (CARSON) is designed to show citizen scientists how to explore satellite data to make wide-scale environmental observations. Each chapter of the CARSON guide includes instructions for a local observation and an extension to make the same observation on a global scale using satellite data.
Air Quality
Track visibility from the ground, and then use satellite images to identify pollution coming into your region from other places. This activity also includes extensions for other air quality observations.
Water Quality
Nitrogen is a common pollutant found in streams. It fuels algae growth, which can lead to dead zones where little can live. Citizens measure nitrogen concentrations in their local waterways and compare those concentrations to phytoplankton growth in the ocean nearest their watershed.
Throughout history, humans have strived to understand and even control weather and climate. By developing an understanding of the patterns of rainfall, scientists are making possible increasingly accurate weather, flood and drought forecasts. This activity connects backyard observations of rainfall to satellite measurements of rain to study both local and broad precipitation patterns.
Image Composite Explorer (ICE)
The Image Composite Explorer is designed to be an easy first step into the realm of Earth system science, image processing, data analysis, and satellite remote sensing via your web browser. ICE is a java applet with several modes for analysing remote sensing data, including color image composites with multiple wavelengths, display of time series, mathematical functions between multiple datasets, and analysis tools such as scatterplots and historgrams.

Four long years after the Canterbury earthquakes forced him off his famous patch in Cathedral Square, iconic orator, thinker and, er, wizard The Wizard of New Zealand has returned to the spot that helped to make his name and elevated him to the status of the country's favourite and official spellslinger (sorry, Gandalf). If you're in Christchurch, you need to get along for a listen!
What's on in New Zealand
The Wizard returns to The Square
Eddie Izzard – Force Majeure
The comedian described by The Los Angeles Times "The funniest man in, well, pretty much all of the known universe" returns to New Zealand with Force Majeure, his most extensive world tour ever. When Izzard says "world tour", he means it – before reaching NZ, the actor, fashion icon and runner will have visited Europe, Africa, Russia, the UK, Canada, America, India, Nepal, and the Far East.
Cricket World Cup 2015
The cricketing world's showcase comes to New Zealand shores for the first time since 1992 when the nation co-hosts the 2015 Cricket World Cup. 14 teams, thousands of visitors and a television audience of a billion people will converge on New Zealand as grounds in Auckland, Hamilton, Napier, Wellington, Nelson, Christchurch and Dunedin host pool matches and knock out games.
Foo Fighters tour in February
Excitement's been building ever since the announcement that that rock superstars the Foo Fighters will be returning to New Zealand in February 2015 for their biggest local shows ever (with special guests Rise Against). Rock headliners for 20 years, The Foo Fighters line up of Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Chris Shiflett and Pat Smear are sure to be in fine form.
One Meal To Rule Them All
You've heard of dinner and a movie, but how about dinner in a movie? Lord of the Rings fans can now get their gastronomic geek on and dine like a Hobbit at The Green Dragon Inn by taking an Evening Dinner Tour at the Hobbiton Movie Set in Matamata. With Hobbiton brought into the electric 21st century, the Hobbiton Movie Set experience now offers after-dark tours.
NZ's Burlesque Revival
Destination NZ pulls back the beaded curtain on New Zealand's increasingly hot burlesque scene in our extended chat with one of the experienced local and international stars of the form – Wellington-based tasselled temptress Rachel Rouge – to get the lowdown on the local scene, the history, the hottest performers in New Zealand burlesque, and the best stories.
Kiki Beware, Dunedin
Snug in its heritage building and surrounded by some of Dunedin's finest boutique shopping in its CBD location, The Finest Quality Kiki Beware Refreshment Room – or just Kiki Beware for short, if that's a bit much of a mouthful when you're trying to make your lunch plans – is a kooky, quirky and modern boutique café that's quickly become one of Dunedin's favourite haunts.
City Works Depot, Auckland
If you're looking for Auckland's new go-to casual dining destination, head to the corner of Wellesley Street West and Nelson Street to find the City Works Depot. This hub of creative cuisine, situated alongside advertising agencies and branding gurus, utilises repurposed workshops where the Auckland City Council once serviced buses, trucks, and road-building equipment.
Designing NZ – Killer Kiwi Fashion
Looking to burn some serious plastic and pick up some killer Kiwi threads? For a small country a long way from Paris, New York, or Milan, New Zealand punches well above its weight on the international fashion scene, with top New Zealand fashion designers such as Karen Walker, Trelise Cooper and Zambesi lauded worldwide for their unique take on high fashion.

No. 21 BRYN MAWR, PA., MARCH 28, 1917 Price:5 Cents SERIOUS INTEREST AT SATURDAY CONFERENCE Miu Porter, Cheer Leader from Boston, Tells of Impressions The cheerleader of the Boston delega- tion to Northfleld last summer, Miss Eliz- abeth Porter, of Boston, spoke on "Im- pressions of a Conference", and "Effects of a Conference" was the subject chosen by Miss Esther Howell, of Oermantown, for many years leader of the Agnes Irwin delegation, at the Saturday evening serv- ice of the Week-end Conference. The choir sang a special anthem, "Heavenly Love". "The passing days of a conference", said Miss Porter, tracing the seven steps by which one arrives at the highest plane of inspiration, "leave one a set of ever- changing impressions". The first day, Bbe continued, is one of self-consciousness and bewilderment at seeing so many girls together, then gradually there is a feeling of good-fellowship. The word for Is en- tirely removed and the word with takes its place. The Terrible Third Day "Then comes a terrible day in the mid- dle of the conference when a readjusting of perspective is needed", said Miss Por- ter. You slink into a dark corner and (Continued on Pane j) COMMISSION LEAVES BELGIUM Belgium Relief Work Will Continue America's Obligation Doubled The Belgian Relief Committee of the C. A. will continue to send the monthly pledge of MOO to the American Commis- sion for Relief in Belgium in spite of the fact that the commission has been or- dered to leave Belgium by President Wil- son. When Mr. George Barr Baker was here several weeks ago he said that in case Americans were forced to leave Bel- glum the work would be carried on by men of other nationalities trained for such an emergency. America's duty, he said, would only be increased by such an event The New York Times prints this state- ment: "The Commission for Relief in Belgium, from its American head office, issued the following statement relative to the order to Minister Whltlock to leave the terri- tory in Belgium occupied by the Ger- mans: " 'This action has been expected for some time, and full preparation has been made to carry on the work. The Belgians and .the inhabitants of the occupied por- tion of northern France must be fed. " 'The commission will continue as be- fore. The only difference will be that competent trained men secured through the Netherlands Government will be ap- pointed members of the commission and supervise the distribution of food In Bel- glum and northern Franca. " "The commission will continue to mo- bilise the finances, purchase and trans- port all of the food for these 10.000.000 people, and it should be made clear that no relaxation in the efforts of the com- mission to secure additional contributions for the destitute is contemplated'". S. TAYLOR AND M. M0SELEY ON EXECUTIVE BOARD OF SELF-GOVERNMENT Graduate Member Not Yet Chosen S. Taylor "19 and M. Moseley '19 have been elected to the junior memberships of the Self-Government Executive Board. The graduate member of the Board can- not be chosen until after the announce- ment of fellowships has made certain which graduate students will be in Col- lege next year. The nomination for secretary of Self- Government showed a large majority for M. France '19, who was elected. Miss France is now secretary of her class. The treasurer from the Class of 1920, elected Monday, is A. Harrison. Hall proctors will be elected after the assignment of rooms. RECITAL BY EDITH WYNNE MATTHI30N Famous Actress at Bryn Mawr 1919'b Endowment Fund Committee has secured Mrs. Charles Rann Kennedy, well known to America as Edith Wynne Mat- thison. to give a dramatic recital at the college on Saturday night, April 21st, at 8 o'clock.

The book is divided into four sections called Rosemary, Bryn Mawr, Johns Hop- kins, and Port Hoe, and the poems in each division were for the most part writ- ten while the author was studying at these places. Dr. Brown's own cover de- sign has been used by the publisher. An article on Matthew Arnold as "A Literary Forerunner of Freud", by Dr. Brown, was published in the January Psychoanalytic Review, and is of particu- lar Interest to those who are familiar with Arnold's poetry. GERMAN ORAL FAILS SIX Lower Record than 1916 Thirteen seniors passed and six failed the third German Oral examination last Saturday.

PREPAREDNESS CAMPAIGN SWEEPS OVER BRYN MAWR THREE OTHER COLLEGES MOBILIZED IN CASE OF WAR Vassar Enrolls as Wireless Operators Vassar, Wellesley and Smith are already partially mobilized. Red Cross work and first aid classes such as those at Bryn Mawr, are organized in all three colleges, but over 1100 Vassar students in addition have signed up in the National League for Women's Service as nurses, wireless telegraphers, and clerks, according to the New York Times. Wellesley has had first aid classes for some time, but last week two new classes in nursing were begun. Graduates of that class will be qualified to act as Red Cross nurses in case of war or to do hospital work. Smith has begun classes In first aid, elementary hygiene, and home care of the sick. ANNUAL WEEK-END CONFERENCE OPENED FRIDAY LIFE AT SILVER BAY AND N0RTHFIELD PRE- SENTED ALLURINGLY BY SPEAKERS BRYN MAWR TO MOBILIZE RESOURCES IN RESERVES Organization of Classes in Nurs- ing, Cooking and Wireless Considered The president of the Vassar Christian Association was one of the speakers at the first meeting of the week-end confer- ence in Taylor Hall last Friday night. Others who told of life at a religious con- ference were: F. Howell '19, D. Clark '20, and R. Cheney ex-'18, president of her class, Sophomore year. Miss Cheney. Introduced by N. Mc- Faden. president of the Christian Asso- ciation, who led the meeting, gave the ob- ject of going to a conference in a few words. "The idea In going", she said, "is not to get religion, but to have religion get you. . . The habit of dropping one's voice an octave when speaking of religion is soon lost there, and although one cannot become a full-fledged Chris- tian over night, one has the opportunity to see a little, which opens the way for ! much more". Her final advice was "Come : and see". Miss Tyler Gives Useful Information Practical details such as transportation to and cost of the Silver Bay Conference, ' to which Bryn Mawr will send Its first delegation this summer, were emphasized in Miss Tyler's speech: "A Day at Silver Bay". The entire cost, she said, including the night trip up the Hudson and board and lodging for ten days. Is about $30. Sleeping quarters vary from a hotel ac- commodating 50 girls to small tents, "which are really the nicest except when it rains", she added. Miss Tyler also named several of the most prominent speakers and the subjects of their classes for this year. Ice-Cream Cones Figure Largely Marching in the "lolly-pop parade", buying Ice-cream cones, and patronizing the tea-tent were recreational features mentioned by F. Howell and D. ("lark In their accounts of the Northfleld Confer- ence. Tennis tournaments, baseball games and bugxy-ridlnc are also favorite occupations Both speakers mentioned especially the feeling of good fellowship and striking absence of goaslp noticeable at a conference. Bryn Mawr may soon be in a state of practical mobilization. The Undergradu- ate Association considered the question at a meeting yesterday, the result of which was not known when the News went to press, and discussed the possi- bility of organizing classes in nursing, dietetic cooking, wireless telegraphy, me- chanics, etc. A. D. Shipley, president of the Associa- tion, said that on Inquiry at the headquar- ters of the Red Cross Association in Phil- adelphia, such courses as those in nurs- ing and cooking could be obtained from the Red Cross Association either this year or next as the Association desired. Her aim In calling the meeting, she said, was to ask the Association to organize so that in case of war each class as it grad- uated would be prepared to enter directly into some practical work, and that the undergraduates would not feel that by re- maining at college they would be neglect- ing the training that would make them of service to the nation. Complete Catalogue of Resources A complete registration of the students would have to be made to show what training they have had and in what way they could take the place of men. Last year Dr. Smith made a catalogue of some of the classes then In college, which would be taken over by the Undergradu- ate Association and completed. The meeting of the Advisory Board of the Association last Thursday advised that some program of action In case of war must be adopted but left the choice to the Association. GLEE CLUB 8ECURE8 NEW SCENERY Special Drop Designed by R. Hlckman '19 PATIENCE" A SATIRE OH WILDI AND THE .ESTHETES Elaborate staging will mark the Glee Hub's long rehearsed production of "Pa- tience" on Friday and Saturday evenings of this week. A back drop has been spe- cially designed by R Hickman '19 and in addition sorely needed new back dropa have been secured. M. Martin '19, stage manager, is chairman of the Scenery Committee. Oscar Wilde, wearing a sunflower In hi I coat and velvet knee breeches, and bead- ing the "itsthetes", was the object of Gilbert and Sullivan's satire in "Pa- tience". Wilde, "lolling like an elegant leviathan on a sofa", as Chesterton has described him, was so well known a figure In London that the opera with Its Sir Reg- inald Bunthorne made an Immediate suc- cess when It was produced In April, 1881. One of the actors in the original per- formance of "Patience". Mr. EL S. Grant, has coached the Glee Club this year aa he did last year for "The Mikado". "Pa- tience" has been given here once before, by 1909 as its Senior play. Tickets may be obtained in each hall from M Wlllett. Pembroke East; D. Wal- |CmHmm4 �� T-* t) '

The patellar tendon connects the kneecap to the lower leg bone. Tendinopathy is an injury to the tendon. It can cause pain, swelling, and limited movement. The injury can include:
- Tendonitis—inflammation of the tendon
- Tendinosis—tiny tears in the tendon tissue with no significant inflammation
Treatment depends on the severity of the injury.
Tendinopathy is generally caused by overuse of a muscle-tendon unit. Over time, the strain on the tendon causes structural changes within the tendon.
Patellar tendinopathy occurs from overuse of the patellar tendon. Overuse may be caused by any activity that requires:
- Intense running
- Jumping
- Frequent stops and starts
- Frequent impact to the knee
- Falls
- Tendon weakness from certain diseases
Risk Factors
Factors that increase your chance of developing patellar tendonopathy include:
- Being a physically active teenager or young adult
- An increase in the frequency of training
- A sudden increase in the intensity of training
- Changing from one sport to another
- Training on a hard surface
- Repeated improper movements while training
- Muscle weakness or imbalance
- Involvement in basketball, soccer, volleyball, or running
Symptoms may include:
- Pain and tenderness in the patellar tendon below the kneecap
- Pain or tightness in the knee when bending, squatting, or straightening the leg
- Discomfort in the knee when jumping, squating, or walking up stairs
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment will depend on the severity of the injury. Options include:
Home Care
To reduce pain and swelling:
- Avoid activity that causes pain. Reduce shock or vibrations to the knee.
- Apply an ice pack for 15-20 minutes at a time, several times a day. Place a towel between the ice pack and your skin.
- Wrap your injured knee in elastic bandaging. Don't wrap the bandage too tight. It may cut off circulation.
- Elevate your knee above your heart.
To help manage pain, your doctor may recommend:
- Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as acetaminophen or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication (NSAIDs)
- Topical pain medications that are applied to the skin
- Prescription pain relievers
Infra-patellar Strap
This strap, also called a counterforce brace, can help support the tendon and reduce pain. It is worn as a band just below the knee.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy will help:
- Stretch and condition the quadriceps muscle, which attaches to the patella
- Maintain muscle strength, flexibility, and endurance
- Improve balance and range of motion
Cortisone Injections
If the treatments above do not reduce inflammation, your doctor may recommend that you consider a cortisone injection. Try to avoid repeated cortisone injections.
You may need surgery if you have advanced damage to the tendon. Your doctor may also recommend surgery if you have not responded to other treatment methods over a period of several months.
To reduce your chances of getting patellar tendinopathy, take these steps:
- Avoiding activities and sports that repeatedly stress the kneecaps, especially those that involve jumping
- Regularly doing quadriceps muscle stretching and strengthening exercises
- Gradually increasing the frequency and intensity of exercise
- Learn proper sporting technique

ph: 828.242.4423
Welcome to our community of women veterans! If you ever served in the military or are currently serving on Active Duty, in the Reserves or National Guard, we hope you'll join us as we support future generations of women veterans in their transition from military service. Download the WOVEN Women Veterans Network brochure by clicking here.
"Let the generations know that women in uniform also guaranteed their freedom. That our resolve was just as great as the brave men who stood among us…"--WWII Army Nurse
Our vision for WOVEN is to establish a supportive community for weaving women veterans of all eras, experiences, geographies, and armed services together in the spirit of connecting, sharing, and serving each other, our fellow veterans, their families and our communities.
Since we are a network of volunteers, there is never any pressure to attend meetings. Our goal is to ensure our contributions as women veterans remain visible and memorable.
Why We Do It
There are over 2.2 million women veterans in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, and our numbers are rising since women now comprise over 15% of our Active Duty forces, 17% of our Reserve and National Guard, and 20% of new military recruits. As of 2013, Women veterans make up 10% of the veteran population!
