A Patient's Guide to Trochanteric Bursitis of the Hip
A common spot for bursitis is on the side of the hip. Here a large tendon passes over the bony bump on the side of the hip. The bony bump is called the greater trochanter. Inflammation in the bursa between the tendon and the greater trochanter is called trochanteric bursitis. This problem is common in older individuals. It may also occur in younger patients who are extremely active in exercises such as walking, running, or biking.
- how trochanteric bursitis develops
- how doctors diagnose the condition
- what treatments are available
Where is the trochanteric bursa, and what does it do?
The hip joint is one of the true ball-and-socket joints of the body. The hip socket is called the acetabulum and forms a deep cup that surrounds the ball of the upper thigh bone (femur), or femoral head. Thick muscles of the buttock at the back and the thick muscles of the thigh in the front surround the hip.
The greater trochanter is the large bump on the outside of the upper end of the femur. This bump is the point where the large buttock muscles that move the hip connect to the femur. The gluteus maximus is the largest of these muscles. It attaches lower down on the femur.
Where friction occurs between muscles, tendons, and bones, there is usually a structure called a bursa. A bursa is a thin sac of tissue that contains fluid to lubricate the area and reduce friction. The bursa is a normal structure. The body will even produce a bursa in response to friction.

Islands – Return to the Sea
I have a theory. The evidence is a little circumstantial, but then it is only a theory. So here it is – All those American conscientious objectors to Vietnam, the ones that headed north and invaded Canada, they probably took their guitars up with them, right? So that they could gently strum protest songs and impress all the girls in the commune. Well anyway, that army of anti-war soldiers, they had kids. Kids that grew up secretly thinking of invading America with their guitars. A new underground army of musicians, but this time they would all be ridiculously talented and embarrass the Americans who were supposed to be the leaders in the indie-rock wars. There simply has to be some explanation for the sheer number of quality Canadian bands that have risen to now dominate the indie world. How do you account for Broken Social Scene, The Dears, Stars, Feist, Wolf Parade, New Pornographers and Arcade Fire?
That army of indie rockers has now added yet another battalion – Islands, which draws from the recently disbanded unit known to civilians as The Unicorns. After a lengthy tour in support of their Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone? album, The Unicorns split, though frontman Nick Diamonds and drummer J'Aime Tambeur continued to work together. First briefly as Th' Corn Gangg, with rappers Subtitle and Busdriver, and now as the driving force of the seven piece Islands. All of which makes Return to the Sea not so much a debut, but a follow up to the Unicorns under a new name with some new members. Plus the occasional guest appearance from members of the aforementioned Arcade Fire and Wolf Parade, just to sweeten the deal that little extra bit.
Return to the Sea is very likely to be among the best albums you hear this year, if playful whimsy and vaguely junk-shop orchestration is your thing. Trust me these sounds are very fine things. Every time Islands changes tack it's a perfect tactical manure, every instrument they add to the mix becomes yet another potent weapon in their attack. Resistance to their charms is practically useless. Like that beaten jacket you found in the back of the op-shop, this album should keep you both warm and suitably indie-fied this winter.
'Don't Call Me Whitney, Bobby' is a jaunt of skittering drums, and perhaps the most upbeat sing-along bout dangerous weight loss ever recorded – aided by morsel bites 'do-do' backing vocals:
/The sleek, sleek skeleton I hold/
where are the hidden folds/
where is the meat that you eat/
It's quickly followed by album highlight 'Rough Gem', glinting with a melody so cute that Architecture in Helsinki would gladly part with their entire wardrobe of stripped jumpers just to borrow it for an afternoon.
'Tsuxiit' provides a brief instrumental intermission before 'Where There's A Will There's A Whalebone', which defies logic and flirts with genius. Islands adopt a tougher stance and sound with Diamonds singing over submarine echoes of guitar and soaring organ, but the master stroke comes when he passes the mic to Corn Gangg-ers Subtitle and Busdriver. Whalebone tears up the indie rock rule book by managing to merge indie-rock whimsy with underground rap intensity. It takes the indie and rap idea of the Slack album mash-up (Jay-Z's Black Album rhymes over music from Pavement's Slanted and Enchanted), but actually makes it work.
/Jogging Gorgeous Summer gazes towards/
Millions of sunsets, but the one I'll remember/
Is the one where you told me you'd love me forever/
It's not hard to fall for a song that features steel drumming, cheap electronics and whistling. Then just when you're falling for them, Islands twist the heart strings into knots with 'If', featuring a heartbreaking clarinet solo combined with Diamonds yearning threat:
/If you ain't sweet to me, I'll desert you in a heartbeat/
It'll leave you smitten.
Canada wins again.

Jazz.net now open to all; Team Concert Express; Bluegrass too!
Visits (5227)
As reported in Computerworld this morning, "IBM today opened its Jazz.net open-source community to anyone who wants to provide feedback on the technology, which is intended to help improve collaboration among software development teams." This welcome news is something I'd encouraged (though I'm not naive enough to think my input had much to do with it). Glad to see it has now happened, and kudos to all who've helped make this happen, including Bill Higgins, who is now managing the Jazz.net community site.
Also of particular interest in the Computerworld article are the two concluding paragraphs:
IBM on Monday also announced that the second beta version of the first Jazz-based product -- called IBM Rational Team Concert Express -- is now available. The product, expected to be generally available later this year, is aimed at helping small and midsize development teams improve productivity through collaboration, IBM said. It includes Web dashboards to help users see real-time status data including the status of work items and project health.
Check out the complete article for more details, including perspective from Scott Hebner, IBM Rational VP of marketing and strategy, about how IBM will "build our products in a completely transparent and collaborative fashion with our customers."
Update: I just found this press release about today's news, which provides even more details.

Eastgate Clock
The Eastgate Clock is a turret clock built above the Eastgate of the ancient walls of Chester. Although the original gate was Roman, the present gate was built in Georgian times to allow coaches through. However, the clock wasn't added until the Victorian era to celebrate Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee. The clock is considered a landmark of Chester, and is the second most photographed timepiece in the United Kingdom after Big Ben. Eastgate with its clock is a Grade I listed building.
A commemorative structure for the Eastgate was first suggested in 1872, as a memorial of a visit by the Prince of Wales (future king Edward VII of the United Kingdom) to open the city's town hall. However, a lack of funding by Chester City Council led to the idea being abandoned for 25 years, until the idea was revived as part of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations. The Duke of Westminster solicited designs from the eminent architect John Douglas, who had designed much of Chester's Tudorbethan architecture.
The proposal was not initially popular; initially, the public preferred either a statue of Queen Victoria for the town square or a large donation to the Queen Victoria's Jubilee Institute for Nurses. However, eventually enough support was canvassed for the committee set up to choose a memorial to accept the clock.
The first design for the clock was for a stone tower on top of the gate. However, the clock would have put several ancient lights into shadow, violating the tenants' right to light. As result, the wrought-iron design was chosen. The final design for the clock was chosen in March 1898, almost 2 years after Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee. The iron was produced at the nearby Coalbrookdale foundaries (now the Ironbridge Gorge Museum), part of Ironbridge, and forged by a local firm, based in the Chester suburb of Handbridge. The clock mechanism was built by JB Joyce of Whitchurch, the oldest tower clock company in the world, and donated by Edward Evans-Lloyd, a freeman of the city.
The clock was formally unveiled on 27 May 1899, the 80th birthday of Queen Victoria. The clock was initially controversial; some thought that the bright red and gold finish and elaborate iron frame made it too garish, and unsuited to its surroundings.
The clock consists of a cuboid housing with clock faces on every side. The clock faces use roman numerals and are made of frosted glass, allowing an internal lamp to illuminate the hands at night. The mechanism used an innovative system to house the weights which powered the clock within the small frame, leading to the popular opinion that a smaller, but less accurate, spring mechanism had been employed instead. The pendulum weighed one Imperial hundredweight (112 lb, 50 kg), in order to protect the pendulum from disturbances due to high winds. The roof of the clock is a green copper ogee roof.
The clock required weekly winding until 1992, when the original wind-up mechanism was replaced by an electric one, to reduce maintenance costs. JB Joyce of Whitchurch are in charge of maintaining the clock, and until the conversion to electricity, sent somebody to wind the clock every week.

WASHINGTON — The prospects of a government rescue for the nation's foundering automakers dwindled Thursday as Democratic congressional leaders conceded that they would face potentially insurmountable Republican opposition during a lame duck legislative session next week.
At the same time, hope among many Democrats on Capitol Hill for an aggressive economic stimulus measure all but evaporated. Democratic leaders have been calling for a package that would include help for the auto companies as well as new spending on public works projects, an extension of unemployment benefits, increased food stamps and aid to states for rising Medicaid expenses.
But while Democrats said the stimulus measure would wait until President-elect Obama takes office in January, some industry experts fear that one or more of the Big Three automakers will collapse before then, with potentially devastating consequences.
Despite hardening opposition at the White House and among Republicans on Capitol Hill, the Democrats said they would press ahead with efforts to provide $25-billion in emergency aid for the automakers. But they said the bill would need to be approved first in the Senate, which some Democrats said was highly unlikely.
Sen. Christopher J. Dodd, D-Conn., the chairman of the banking committee, said he did not believe there would be sufficient Republican support to get the 60 votes needed to move a bill forward.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has yet to schedule a legislative session to consider the new loans as Democrats keep hunting for the votes to pass it.
The White House, in resisting calls for aiding the automakers, has warned repeatedly about not throwing taxpayer money at companies that may not be salvageable.
Acknowledging the Bush administration's opposition, Dodd said Democrats had to keep in mind that the Treasury Department already has some authority to help the finance arms of the auto companies but has been reluctant to use it.
Passing any legislation to aid the auto companies would require 60 votes in the Senate. Democrats now control 51 of those votes, but Obama has said he will resign his Senate seat on Sunday, and Vice President-elect Joe Biden is not expected to attend the lame duck session, meaning Democrats would need the support of at least 11 Republicans.
With Bush still wielding his veto authority, the fate of any legislation without White House support would be uncertain.
The auto companies, however, remained hopeful and said they would send top executives to congressional hearings next week to make their case.

New Zealand lights first of 4,200 beacons for Queen's Diamond Jubilee
More than 4,200 beacons are to be lit around the world today to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, with the first already illuminated in New Zealand.
The town of Blenheim in Marlborough was the scene for the opening act of a global procedure that will end tonight when Her Majesty lights the final beacon on the stage at her Jubilee concert in front of Buckingham Palace.
In Blenheim, local people sang God Save The Queen as the beacon was lit, while in Tonga Boy Scouts and Girl Guides joined forces to begin their display.Australian prime minister Julia Gillard will perform the ritual at Parliament House in Canberra to ensure her country remains a prominent part of the celebrations.
Bruno Peek, pageant master of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, said the initial aim was to light 2,012 beacons, but the level of interest from communities around the world meant that number was more than doubled.
In the UK, they will be lit in a series of high-profile locations, such as at Hadrian's Wall, the Tower of London and Windsor Great Park. The four highest peaks in England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales will also house a beacon.
Sunshine is expected to break out across the country this afternoon in time for tonight's concert, marking a change in fortune for organisers after yesterday's pageant on the River Thames was blighted by rain.

If you have trouble finding, turn on the turn signal and follow your ears to the clicking.
I guess I am LOST...I don't see this 30 Amp fuse...where is the lower left kick panel - is it under the steering column??? all of my fuses say 10, 15, 7.5 but no 30s...please help...it looks like we will be getting RAIN for the next 3 days...
Sit in the drivers seat, put your left foot on the floor by the brake, move it sideways to the left, and you will hit the kick panel. Take the kick panel off.
Ok, I found the kicker panel and removed it...still don't see this 30Amp fuse??? I do see a whole lot of wires though...
The flasher is on that board. Turn on the turn signal and follow the sound.
Sent an email to you with a couple pictures. Check your carspace email. Go to your mailbox, upper right hand corner.
I didn't get the pictures via email...I've been home all day working on this work...I found the starter relay but still do NOT see anything marked 30A...I just can't find this 30A fuse...also pulled off the door panel to try and raise the window MANUALLY but it did not work either...
If I can't get these windows up, what should I use to COVER them??? I don't have the money to take it to a mechanic just now.
Thanks for all of your help.
Did you get my earlier note, and you don't see the attachments? Or you can't get into your carspace.com email? Not sure why you don't have them...they were sent to email@example.com

These diagrams were REALLY HELPFUL...THANK YOU FOR SEEING ME THROUGH THIS...
WOOHOO - IT'S ALL WORKING NOW!!!! - I used the fuse from the 'shoulder belt' to get my windows rolled up - I will purchase a 30A fuse at my leisure now that I have those windows rolled up...
Great...congrats! Glad you got it working again.
I read all previous notes on this and I still cant find my exact fuse.
I found the 100A-ALT under the hood of the car but have not been able to find the right 30A.
Under the hood there are three 30A fuses labeled as follows
On the interior the fuses are as follows:
/(Show blank but ther is a fuse in this spot.)
Thank you for any advice.
I'm sure I am NOT the one to answer this question but funny thing was the FUSE I ended swapping out was NOT one of those colored fuses in the fuse box - this fuse was silver and round with two prongs, it was located to the RIGHT side of the actual fuse box that's in the kick panel - right next to the bright yellow starter relay (this is LABELED) on the LEFT...so BETWEEN the fuse box & the starter relay fuse.
I didn't have to buy a NEW fuse as I ended up pushing in the little reset button on that fuse and reinstalled it...everything is working now.
kiawah was VERY HELPFUL during my troubleshooting experience.
Please note, my car is a 1990 camry so I am not sure if it is RELEVANT to your 1994 camry (???)...
I assume your power windows aren't working. In a 94, that is controlled by a 30Amp fuse called 'Power'.
On the interior fuse box where you list the ECU-15A, Gauge-10Amp, etc......look way over on the right edge. There is a 30Amp Power fuse (just a bit above an imaginary horizontal line drawn from the ECU fuse), and underneath it is a 40Amp Defog fuse. It's the top one you want to check out.
Good luck
I looked and there was nothing to the right I will look again, all that is to the right is a solid piece of plastic no other fuses are visible. I also now think this may not be a fuse issue. I wiggled the wire in the door jamb area and the windows rolled up. I think this may be a flexing issue you mentioned to someone earlier.
What is the general fix for this type of issue.
Thanks again.
Yes, with the new info, it is most likely the wire that is flexing.
Unfortunately, the fix for this is to replace the defective wire, with a new one. You don't have to run it fuse to switch, you can just splice in a new piece that runs between the jamb and the door.
When I do this, I do the splicing inside the door, and inside the jamb. Sometimes it's hard to know exactly where the defect is in the cable that is flexing (in between the door and the jamb), so replacing the whole thing from where you know the wire is good and not flexing...is the best fix. Be sure to use stranded wire, which permits flexing without breaking more than a solid core wire would, and capable to handle 30Amps.
You need to be fairly comfortable with tools and soldering iron to do this job.
Thanks a million for the advice, will check out all options.
I need Help. I just bought a 1992 Toyota Camry XLE V6. Now I find out the windshield wipers don't work. I went by Auto Zone and checked the fuses (20A) and they were fine. The kind gentleman at Auto Zone said it may be a relay. I don't know a thing about cars. What is a relay? Where is it located? Is it expensive to fix? Is it possible for someone who knows -0- about cars do this (that would be me). Thanks so much.
This will most likely be one of three problems, a fuse, the switch, or the wiper motor.
You checked the 20A wiper fuse supposedly at Autozone, but verify that you have power to your wiper stalk on the steering wheel by turning on the washer. If the washer sprays fluid on the windshield, then you know that the fuse is indeed okay and you have power to the wiper switch.
Assuming you do have power as above, then the way to figure out if it is the switch or the motor that is the problem, is that you need to measure the voltage of the circuit at the wiper motor connector, with the switch in the on positions. If you have 13 volts at the connectors, then your switch is probably okay, and the wiper motor is bad. If you don't have power at the connector when the switch is in the on position, then your switch is bad.
If you know zero about cars and haven't done any work on them before, this would probably not be the time to start. But at least you know what a shop should be checking, and can find out an estimate a head of time approximately how much it should cost for repair.
Good luck.
Thanks so much Kiawah
The clock on my 1998 Camry went blank recently and it seems that both driver side and passenger side power mirrors as well as the cigarette lighter are not working. I've checked all of the fuses in the fuse box and all seem to be OK. What am I missing? Can someone help me to identify the location of the fuse that controls these items?
I'm at a loss. :confuse:
Check your 40Amp AM1 fuse. It's in the engine compartment, on the left fender well in the JunctionBox.
In the junction box, it is right near the Dome Fuse.
I think your power outlet is also not working.
Let me know if you find this blown or not.
I just double checked the 40Amp fuse that you mentioned (visual inspection and electrical using an ohm-meter). It's fine. I'm still at a loss with this. The power outlet is working fine. The problem is with the clock, cigarette lighter and both power side view mirrors. I'm able to use the power outlet for charging my cell phone. Can there be a loose wire harness? If so, where would I begin to look?
Thanks for any help you can offer. :confuse:
Then it's pointing back to a defective 15A cigarette fuse.
The power runs thru AM1, then to the ignition switch accessories position, then to power three things.
- The 15A cigarette fuse and circuit (which is your cigarette lighter, also feeds the clock, and also feeds your mirrors...none of this you say works.
- The 15A power outlet, which you claim works.
- and a 7.5A rad fuse.
Because you indicate the power outlet works, then that tells you that AM1 and the ignition switch are okay. So the problem suspect is that 15A cig fuse. Can you swap it out or replace it.
If you swap it and it still doesn't work, then get your digital voltmeter, pull the fuse again, and check the voltage on the pins in the junction block. Make sure you are getting 13volts on one of the pins (one of the pins would connect upstream to the switch and AM1, one of the pins would connect downstream to the cigarette lighter and clock). Trying to verify that you do indeed have 13volts feeding the fuse.
dingling Posts: 1Where can I find pwr outlet 20 amp fuse.fuse box is under the steering column The blown fuse in my car has shorter prong, but the one i find in auto stores are longer prongs. Does the dealer has right one.
skywalker2 Posts: 1I have a new 2008 Toyota Camry and I'm using a Sirius satellite radio plugged into one of the power sockets. The problem is when the car is turned off, power to the power sockets is also turned off rendering the "pause and save" function on the satellite radio useless. All my other vehicles do not have this problem. How can I get constant power from the power sockets with the car turned off?
I haven't checked whether all of the outlets up front are accessory switched power, and don't have the schematics on the road with me. You may have to rewire it, or another alternative might be to put in another power outlet just for it directly to the new fused circuit.
billvannostran Posts: 1Yes just clean the connections and it should work. That's all I did and it is fine.
jgatsby21 Posts: 4The master power window switch on the driver's side has stopped working for the windows, but still works for the power door locks. The switch is new so I think it's a fuse. I can't find the fuse that goes w/ the master power window switch. Can anyone tell me which one it is or provide a diagram?
Much appreciated!

UCF researcher's 3-D Digital Storage System could hold a library on 1 disc
Research team overcame obstacle of how to read data without destroying it
Imagine taking the entire collection of historical documents at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum and storing it on a single DVD.
University of Central Florida Chemistry Professor Kevin D. Belfield and his team have cracked a puzzle that stumped scientists for more than a dozen years. They have developed a new technology that will allow users to record and store massive amounts of data -- the museum's entire collection or as many as 500 movies, for example -- onto a single disc or, perhaps, a small cube.
Belfield's Two-Photon 3-D Optical Data Storage system makes this possible.
"For a while, the community has been able to record data in photochromic materials in several layers," Belfield said. "The problem was that no one could figure out how to read out the data without destroying it. But we cracked it."
Think of it this way. Television viewers can tape a show on a VHS tape. They can use the tape several times. But each time the same segment of the tape is used, the quality diminishes as the tape wears out. Eventually, the data is lost. The same is true of recordable DVDs.
Belfield's team figured out a way to use lasers to compact large amounts of information onto a DVD while maintaining excellent quality. The information is stored permanently without the possibility of damage.
The process involves shooting two different wavelengths of light onto the recording surface. The use of two lasers creates a very specific image that is sharper than what current techniques can render. Depending on the color (wavelength) of the light, information is written onto a disk. The information is highly compacted, so the disk isn't much thicker. It's like a typical DVD.
The challenge scientists faced for years was that light is also used to read the information. The light couldn't distinguish between reading and writing, so it would destroy the recorded information. Belfield's team developed a way to use light tuned to specific colors or wavelengths to allow information that a user wants to keep to stay intact.
The UCF team's work was published in Advanced Materials (2006, vol. 18, pp. 2910-2914, http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/adma.200600826) and recently highlighted in Nature Photonics (www.nature.com/nphoton/reshigh/2006/1106/full/nphoton.2006.47.html). A patent is pending.
Once the technology is fine-tuned, it could be used to store historical documents or create complicated databases that could give decision-makers quick access to critical information, Belfield said.
Blu-Ray Disc Association and industrial leaders in computer and other media recently commercially introduced Blu-Ray Disc technology that allows for storage of 25 gigabytes (GB) on a single layer of a disc and 50 GB on two layers. It has been referred to as the next generation of optical disc format, and it offers high-definition quality.
Belfield's technique allows for storing on multiple layers with the capacity of at least 1,000 GB and high-definition quality.
The UCF team has received a $270,000, three-year grant from the National Science Foundation to continue its work. The team will focus on making the technique even more efficient, partly by reducing the required laser power.
The team's work with lasers and lights has other practical applications. Belfield and his colleagues in the Department of Chemistry are exploring the use of light to detect and treat certain types of cancer.
Belfield's research team is creating chemical agents that, after being injected into patients, will travel within the bloodstream to find and bind with cancer cells. Using light, doctors would then be able to see if and where a patient has cancer cells. Another agent could be injected that would then destroy the cancer cells when activated by light, without damaging other healthy cells.

Look Out, Boy DJs of Houston: Here Come the Girls
Photos courtesy of Here Come The Girls
At their first gig ever, a funny thing happened to Here Come The Girls.
The boys came running.
"It was a bit hectic getting all of the gear set up and we had guys coming up to us all night fixing our levels on the mixer," says co-founder Darenda Weaver. "We thought it was really funny because if it had been a male up there DJing, people would likely expect him to know what he was doing or tell him to fix the levels rather than touching his gear. It was just all in all a fun night, so we decide to book some more shows."
Since then, Houston's all-female DJ group has cut out the kinks and built up an audience from shows at MKT Bar, Eastdown Warehouse, Big Top Lounge and the like. This Sunday the group kicks off their second year together with a noon-5 p.m. showcase at Pop Shop Houston, 1657 Westheimer.

"We are a group of females who spin '60s music, all on vinyl," says the group's other co-founder, DJ Say Yes. "Mainly 45s, but a few LPs have been known to sneak in there at times."
"Yesenia used to do a vinyl night at East Side Social Center called Ambassadors of Soul and invited me out to an event," Weaver recalls. "She mentioned it would be really neat if, on Valentine's Day, we showcased female DJs because we knew there were a couple of other girls around town who collected vinyl. After she mentioned that, it got me thinking about an all-female DJ troupe and I asked if she would be interested and it kind of went from there."
"We'd see each other at A Fistful of Soul, which are friends of ours, and at other soul clubs around the state -- Alamo City Soul Club in San Antonio, Big Beat in Austin, Dallas with The Smoke Club," says Say Yes. "We eventually started carpooling together to these events, and just finding out we both love soul. We are definitely soul sisters! Then I met her sister through her and Abra came along later."
Abra is Abra Schnur, is one of the group's DJs and Weaver's bandmate in The Motion, which will perform Sunday following the showcase Schnur is also married to a DJ, so she's made an observation about those who spin music -- particularly music from the 1960s, which is her calling card.
"The '60s soul and R&B scene is definitely male-dominated," she says. "I mean, we could really get into why that is, but let's not. Maybe there's an anthropological field study on it somewhere.
"But when you start talking about '60s international stuff -- baroque pop, psych, garage, British Invasion -- that really gets me going. And, you notice that's where the females tend to be."
"Darenda and I were Facebook friends but we actually met at a Fistful of Soul night," says Schnur. "She liked what I was wearing and wanted me to join her band, The Motion. I said, well aside from my amazing fashion sense, I can actually sing! It was silly, but we've been collaborating since."
Story continues on the next page.

Here Come the Girls is a truly collaborative effort, asserts Darendra Weaver, whose sister Cassandra and friend Krystal Roach round out the outfit.
"Yeah, there is a lot of preparation that goes into every gig," she says. "We don't like to over-play any single record, so we try to dig for something interesting every time we go to a record store or convention. Before every gig, we have to go through all of our records and find the ones we feel are suited to that event.
"Also, we try to bring a few tunes out that are recognizable to the audience, in hopes that we get their attention and then they learn about new artists when we pull out the more obscure records," she adds.
Every member of Here Come the Girls is a serious record collector. They seek out music on eBay and in local stores like Cactus, Sig's Lagoon, even Trader's Village. Wherever the music is, that's where The Girls are. It's the sort of devotion to music that can only come from a lifelong love affair with it, according to Say Yes.
"My parents listened to a lot of Motown in our house and that was something my sisters and I could agree on listening to in the car on road trips," she says. "My parents are Mexican so I feel that I have the best of both worlds as Latin music also abounded in our home.
"But my dad was the one with the more open mind as he took me to so many concerts as a child -- ZZ Top, Selena, Cafe Tacvba, and many more," adds Say Yes. "It wasn't until my teen years that I somehow heard 2-tone, and I fell in love with it instantly."
Schnur says her first love was 1980s New Wave, but her present focus on pop and international pop from the 1960s suits the group well.
"A lot of inspiration for the eclectic mix I like to do comes from Dallas' DJ Wild in the Streets and Baltimore's DJ Amanda Otto," she notes. "DJing live is something I've wanted to do for a long time. There is certainly a sort of rush that goes along with it. To me it's not about doing the perfect segue or getting the entire dance floor to scream when a 'hit' comes on.
"I like setting moods," she adds. "Making a soundtrack to your evening. If I make eye contact with just one person and they give me the nod, that's good enough for me."
Darenda Weaver says her first musical interest was punk rock. As she headed into high school, she found the 1960s sounds she's hooked on today by rummaging through her dad's record pile. She adds Here Come the Girls is developing a podcast and will be spinning at the Big Top on March 11, supporting bands Ketchy Shuby and The Traffik Jams.
"We started the group in hopes that females would get more interested in purchasing records, and have a place where they could come out and share their music with others," she says. "I thought we would just play a couple of gigs and have a few people come out and dance. It's been magical, though.
"We have had a lot of success in my opinion, and I hope any females reading this get inspired to do what they love to do," she adds, "because you never know where it might take you."

But the Ducati dominance at the top didn't last as Sterligarda Yamaha's Cal Crutchlow broke up the Ducati party with a last-lap flier that put him ahead of Fabrizio and Checa and just .294 of a second behind Haga. Still, Ducatis held three of the top four spots after day one."Feeling with my bike improved this afternoon, as we took another step with regard to the suspension and that helped, as did changing the tire pressure," Haga said in a team release. "We still need to improve braking in certain sections of the track, and I'm not sure about tires yet, because although the new one seems fairly consistent, I still want to try our "usual" tire tomorrow and see how it works in these conditions. We've made a good start and will try to improve further in tomorrow's sessions."World Championship points leader Max Biaggi ended up fifth on the factory Aprilia, the Italian not able to crack the two-minute barrier on a circuit he calls one of his favorites. Biaggi's 2:00.179 was just off Checa's mark and only .094 of a second ahead of BMW's Ruben Xaus, the Spaniard having out-gunned his teammate Troy Corser. Corser ended the session 12th.Jakub Smrz didn't waste any time adapting to his new Aprilia as he slotted the RSV into the seventh spot at his home racetrack. The provisional second row was filled by Hannspree Ten Kate Honda's Jonathan Rea.Sterilgarda Yamaha's James Toseland was near the top early in the session, but the Brit dropped to ninth at the end, holding off Italian privateers Luca Scassa and Lorenzo Lanzi.The day didn't go well for Alstare Suzuki's Leon Haslam as the Brit struggled to 13th in the morning session and just 17th in the qualifying session. Haslam is second to Biaggi in the championship as the series reaches its ninth round.American Roger Lee Hayden ended up 22nd on his first day at the Brno Circuit.Friday Qualifying1.

Smith & Wesson Names Retired Naval Commander David P. Holt as Vice President of Military Programs
SPRINGFIELD, Mass., (May 6, 2009) -- Smith & Wesson Corp., the legendary 157-year old firearms maker, announced today that it has named Retired Navy Commander David P. Holt as Vice President of Military Programs. Holt will be responsible for all of Smith & Wesson's United States military programs, business development, strategic direction, and resources.
Holt, 53, has amassed more than 30 years of experience in key leadership positions in both the private business sector and the United States Navy. Prior to retiring from the Navy with the rank of Commander, Holt's 20-plus year naval career included five flying tours including squadron command as well as four key assignments in the Pentagon covering all facets of requirements, acquisition and program planning, budgeting and execution.
Michael F. Golden, President and CEO of Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation, said, "David is a highly seasoned veteran who has built his knowledge of federal government and military requirements, capabilities, and the procurement process over an accomplished career that includes a number of leadership positions both in the field and in the Pentagon. His first-hand knowledge and experience, as well as his history working at the most senior levels in Washington, is an excellent fit with our strategy to grow the federal government and military portions of our business."
Most recently, Holt served as Vice President, Requirements Support for Whitney, Bradley & Brown, Inc., a defense consulting firm that provides expertise in war fighter support, acquisition support, and strategic planning for clients in the Federal Government, Department of Defense and private industry. Holt's work at Whitney, Bradley & Brown specialized in identifying and articulating required capabilities under the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS). He was instrumental in developing capability and acquisition roadmaps methodologies for the United States Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps.
Holt began his career with the United States Navy in 1981 and held numerous leadership positions as he developed his expertise in Airborne Mine Warfare. In 1996, he became the Director of Airborne Mine Warfare Programs for the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Staff in the Pentagon. In 2000, he assumed command of the Airborne Mine Countermeasures Weapon Systems Training School at the Naval Station in Norfolk, Virginia. His final assignment in the Navy was to serve as Helicopter Requirements Officer for the CNO Staff at the Pentagon in Washington, DC. Over the course of his Naval career, he amassed over 3,300 career pilot flight hours in the CH-53E and MH-53E helicopters, retiring in 2002 with the rank of Commander.

Hello, and welcome to the Rag Factory!

An interactive performance-workshop in which the audience playfully helps the company construct the story with puppets, live music, and shadows. Your suggestions create the play.

The 2015 Rag Factory Performance Programme is accepting submissions until April 1.
We want you to put on a new work/show or performance of any kind and preview it at the Rag Factory WITHOUT THE FEAR OF LOSING MONEY! We will provide you with FREE performance space and 50% of the ticketsales!
When practitioners produce pieces of new work they are regularly confronted with brick walls preventing them from showing the work unless they tick several 'sales' or 'funding' criteria.
Venues are less likely to support new work from new artists because of the venues need to generate their revenues. Unfortunately, the current 'make money' ideology is strangling any real creative development as only the types of shows or performers that have a track record of ticket sales, or are rich enough to buy space from prime venues, are regularly programmed.
We want to support the theatre and YOU, I want the 'theatre arts' to blossom. We want you to have the opportunity to take risks and create new exciting pieces without the fear of going into masses of debt because of space fees.
To request a submission packet email email@example.com, your packet must be sent to the above email address by the 1st of April at 5pm to be considered.

Save Mad Money on Groceries with Grocio (coming soon)
A couple of weeks ago I had the privilege of seeing Gerald Buckley, founder of Grocio, speak about his experience building his web startup, Grocio at OpenBeta. While the talk was fantastic, I must admit I am more juiced about what his website actually does and how it will help my family and me get by in these tough economic times.
In a nut shell, Grocio let's you find the best deals in your neighborhood on groceries. It might not sound like a big deal at first. If you're a coupon clipper or circular reader, you are already up on your game when it comes to saving on your home's food bills. But if you are not doing these things already or if you are, you might find the task daunting. Grocio takes the footwork out of it and makes finding the best deals wicked easy.
Check out the video below to see a demonstration of how Grocio works and sign up at the website for a free account. Grocio will be launching soon and it could not come at a better time for many Americans. And while im talking savings I just got a $50 off turbotax this year from this page so be sure to check that out also
I also want to mention how amazing it is to me that this startup is coming to fruition in these times. In his talk at OpenBeta Mr. Buckley mentioned that he first started working on Grocio in 2001. While this would have been a handy site to have have then, given our current economic situation, the site has now become relevent to many more people. To launch the site amidst these conditions seems very smart (or lucky). I would not be surprised in the least to see Grocio appear on the likes of Good Morning America or read about it on sites like Wise Bread in the near future. I'd also like to point out that Grocio is based out of Tulsa, Oklahoma. As a fellow Oklahoman, it excites me to see innovation like this come out of our state. Awesome is spreading.
Lumosity Comes to the iPhone
I've been a long-time fan of Lumosity.com Lumosity's website features a suite of mind games that can be played quickly over your lunch break to keep your brain in tip-top shape.
Now you can take Lumosity with you via your iPhone or iPod Touch. According to an article at Mashable, Lumosity has released Memory Matrix and Speed Brain in the iTunes App Store. Memory Matrix is free for a limited time while Speed Brain will cost you a buck.
If you're looking for a little more variety in your mobile brain games, you can also get Brain Challenge [iTunes Link] for the iPhone or iPod Touch. I have not played this on my iPod Touch but I had the old click wheel version and found it to be a very addictive and nicely polished experience.
The Bullet: Nose Hair Remover Review
*WARNING* If you know me, work with me, interact with me on a regular basis and you would rather not hear about my nose hair, see photos of my nose hair or read about how I got rid of my nose hair then you don't want to read this post. Move along.
A few weeks ago I was on the Art of Manliness forum seeking advice for a nose hair trimmer. Nose hair is something that I've gradually noticed becoming a part of my life over the last couple of years, but recently it has become more of an irritation to me because my wife is now noticing it and it bothers her and it has started tickling. This being my first time to deal with the issue of nose hair, I went to my favorite source for all things manly, The Art of Manliness, looking for a solution that did not involve tweezers, scissors or that scary freaking electric hoob-a-joob that I see at the department stores.
Enter Al Dickman and The Bullet, the ultimate nose hair trimmer. Al provided a solution on the forum in the form of a pitch for his product. I was sold in an instant and quickly added it to my holiday wish list. Why did I take to it so quickly without even trying it?
- No batteries
I hate charging my beard trimmer and the idea of having another charger to keep track of or another stinking gadget to fill with batteries is enough for me to want to swallow a whole car battery's acid and get the whole thing done with. Plus batteries are bad for the environment.
- No plucking
The Bullet's website claims that plucking can lead to infection. That seemed like a stretch to me, plucking sucks because it hurts and that's enough for me. Recently, however, my kids have been prescribed some sort of nasal swab for an infection they have in their skin. Now I'm no doctor, but if a doctor thinks swabbing my kids' nostrils will clear up an infection like that, then there is no way I'm going to dirty things up with gaping hair holes inside my honker.
- Small footprint
This thing is small enough to fit easily in a dopp kit or man purse. Awesome.
- Stainless Steel Construction
I'm a sucker for stainless steel. My beard trimmer feels cheap because it's made from plastic that creaks every time I take it into my gigantic man-hands. Stainless steel is tough enough for the abuse that I'm sure to bring upon it.
Soon after posting that The Bullet would be a welcome addition to my stocking, Al contacted me about sending me one in return for writing this review and reporting back to the chaps at the forum on my experience. I used the Bullet the night I received it. Here are my first impressions:
- This thing is crazy small
It was much smaller than I had imagined it being. I could probably just store the trimmer inside my nose for easy access when I need it.
- It's solidly built
For the size that it is, it feels heavy. Not so heavy that it is cumbersome. Just heavy enough to let you know that what you are holding is a finely crafted, well machined tool for grooming. There are only three parts to The Bullet; the bottom cylinder which contains the blade slides into the top cylinder which acts as a guard to keep you from cutting yourself. The two cylinders are kept together with a single screw.
- I had no idea how to use it
I admit I was intimidated at first. What if I cut myself? What if I damage something in there? What if it gets lost in my nose? Fortunately The Bullet comes with documentation that explains how to use it and clean it.
After getting acquainted with my new nose hair trimmer I nervously positioned myself in front of the mirror and prepared myself for an experience completely alien to me. The Bullet works by holding the top cylinder with one hand and twisting the bottom cylinder back and forth to engage the blades. The movement was very smooth thanks to a small amount of lube between the cylinders.
I quickly found out that you can't just stick it in and twist to get the job done. No. To properly trim my nose hair required a bit more thought. I found the best results were had when I gently placed the blade guards against the skin of my nostrils and then turned the cylinders. After a short amount of practice I had succeeded in removing most of the offensive hair creeping out of my nose. The documentation warned me not to expect a cleanly shorn nose which makes sense since the whole point of nose hair is to keep you from breathing in saw dust or whatever else might be in the air.
When I finished using the bullet I brushed out the hair using my badger brush but a tooth brush will work too. The only maintenance it will ever need is a bit more lubrication later on. Easy work.
After showing the results to my wife, I felt confident that The Bullet had done it's job. It was painless and will become easier the more I use it, which will be more and more often as I get older. But that's okay, the craftsmanship displayed in The Bullet will insure that it is with me until I croak or become so old that I don't give a crap about nose hair. And in the case that I lose it, I know I can replace it for only $35. Not a bad price for something that once you start using it you'll never stop.
No batteries! No plucking, scissors or electric motors in your nose! Small size. Well constructed. Easy to maintain and clean. Well priced.
Small enough to lose (but it comes with a case). More expensive than what you can get at a department store. May take some practice (but doesn't everything?).
Price: $35

StopForwarding.Us at OpenBeta
Last Thursday I demoed StopForwarding.Us at OpenBeta, a technology "un-conference" held in Oklahoma City. The event drew a crowd of 120 designers, developers and entrepreneurs from the state of Oklahoma into one venue where they could share ideas, demo their projects and discuss future collaboration not to mention mingle.
My demo drew many visitors with a ton of tallents. I hope to get to know them better and possibly draw on them for the future development of StopForwarding.Us and other projects.
My biggest surprise of the evening and one that I am proud of is that StopForwarding.Us received the award for "Most Enterprise Potential." I'm glad that there are others out there who see potential in the service the site provides and am flattered that I was chosen for the award. Part of the prize is that I get to take StopForwarding.Us to the Innotech show floor next week! If you are in town and you're a fan of the site or you've been sending me hate mail and would like to put a knife in my ribs, please stop by!
My thanks to all who stopped by and said hi, the pannel who awarded me and Derrick Parkhurst for putting the event together!
StopForwarding.Us: What I have learned.
About a year ago I was looking for a website that would let me politely and anonymously ask a coworker to stop forwarding political and religious email. Not finding one, I decided to create one.
As with most of my personal projects, I decided to take a stab at monetizing the website. After all, if I am using my time and money to provide a service, why not try to make a few bucks as well? Shortly after having the idea, I quickly developed a site that provided the service I had in mind and StopForwarding.Us was born.
My plan for making money on the site was to offer email related wares through a Cafe Press store, ads via Google AdSense and a donation button. After about six months of no sales at the store, I decided to cut my costs and downgrade the store to include one design (to date I have sold one shirt). After a year and some lucky breaks in the press, my AdSense account has finally made it past the $100 threshold which is necessary for Google to cut a check. Finally, I have made $3 thanks to the donation button (two of those donations came from friends).
A few months before being featured on a few well known blogs (Download Squad, Lifehacker & Kim Komando), I had written off the site as a fun but ultimately fruitless (revenue wise) project. A few more months, press inquiries, friendly and hateful emails later I have gained some insights and learned some lessons which I will outline below. Oh yeah, if you're a hater looking for some sort of white flag or an apology for my site, you may me disappointed.
People Like Being Served
Up until the launch of StopForwarding.Us, all the projects I have been involved with were centered around hustling some sort of wares (mostly Cafe Press stuff). This business model, while so far producing far more revenue, has generated little in the way of buzz and user loyalty. StopForwarding.us, however has received more traffic than all my other sites combined, has gotten mentions in big media outlets, has a large user base and even has a modest following on Facebook. I recently read a post at Get Rich Slowly that I think pegs the reason for the buzz and user loyalty down. I enocurage you to read the entire post. The post wraps up saying:
Success as an entrepreneur isn't about you — it's about helping others achieve goals you care about.
While stopping bad email etiquette may seem trivial, it is a goal that I care about and by providing a service where like-minded individuals can attempt to accomplish the same goal, I have created a service with social benefit. T-shirts and mouse pads provide little social benefit.
The cool thing about the Internet is that people say stuff that they would never say to one's face. While this is often seen as a negative thing, it also alows for a very honest and blunt opinion. I get a modest amount of hate mail from people who really dislike the site and me. At first this shocked me. I was surprised by how many people could learn that I am a money grubbing, cowardly, unemployed piece of whale excrement just from the fact that I had built a website. At first I started to compose lengthy emails which defended my integrity in a polite and mature manner. But before sending the first of my responses out, I decided to reply with simply:
Related : Get Turbo tax coupons from the top tech team at TechCouponCode
Even this proved to be a mistake as it only opened the door for another email. So I decided to delete the hate mail I got (I kept the particularly funny ones) and not respond. The positive emails I kept and responded to warmly. Here are some thoughts on humility I have had as a result of the negative response to the site:
- do not expect everyone to approve what you do or create: you will have to defend your work and position
- there is a possibility that some people do not like you: omg really?
- shake them haters off: who gives a crap what some stranger on the other end of a wire thinks of you?
In addition to the negative email I have received, I have gotten much more positive emails. These emails included thanks for offering the service, ideas for improving and even monetizing the service, offers to translate into different languages, and more. These emails meant a lot to me and seemed to come just when I needed to read them most. It encouraged me to continue developing the site and gave me hope that common decency still exists on the world.
Always have a scalability plan
Perhaps my biggest mistake when creating StopForwarding.Us was not seeing the potential for growth and utility. As a result, I had no plan to scale and improve the service. Now I am in a position that leaves me with a lot of traffic while I frantically put together the next version of the site. If I actually had a plan in place, even if I did not immediately act on it when the site launched, at least at this point a new version could be in the works instead of just being planned. This would allow me to hang on to more of the users that I am getting from buzz.
Google pays slowly
I like Google. I use as many of their products as I can. They keep things simple. It's a little scary that they are so huge and that I place so much trust in them, still, I like them. AdSense, however, is a raw deal. Good hustle for Google, bad business for me. I've given AdSense over 200k impressions and have only made about $200. It took me over a year to get there and that is from traffic to three different sites (StopForwarding.Us included). If advertising is any part of a future business model of mine, I will likely cut Google out.
Don't give up
If there is one thing I've learned from StopForwarding.Us, it's that one should not give up too quickly. Six months into this project with no sales of shirts, mugs or mouse pads and only a couple bucks in my AdSense account, I came close to pulling the plug. If I had, then I would have never had the opportunity to learn what I have so far. I'd also have lost the opportunity to network and collaborate with developers on a new and improved version of the site that improves upon my initial idea and ultimately provides a more valuable service.
In the future, I hope to apply some of these lessons to new projects. In the mean time, I hope you found them insightful and that they come in handy in your future. Stay tuned for the next version of StopForwarding.Us!

Tips for Traveling with Toddlers
A few weeks ago my family packed up the mini-van for a trip to Florida. We spent hours upon hours on the road with our three young kids (ages 2, 3 and 4) in the back seats. The longest day of driving spanned 15 hours. There are some obvious tips for traveling with kids such as:
- Bring a portable DVD player and movies
- Pack a lot of snacks (freeze juice boxes to help keep things cold)
- Schedule your departure and arrival times to take advantage of sleeping kids
But there is one tip, passed down from my mother (who knows about traveling with a whole mess of kids) that kept the kiddos entertained and peace in the van for much of the trip. Here's what you do (you'll repeat these steps for each kid):Related Travel News :Ways To Use Expedia Coupons
7 Places To Find The Best Hotel Accommodation Online
- Get some brown paper lunch bags. You will need one for each hour of your road time.
- Number (and name if you have multiple kids) each bag from 1 to the last hour of of your trip. A four hour trip gets four bags numbered 1 through 4.
- Now, go to the dollar store and get some cheap toys, craft items, etc. Then head to the grocery store for some healthy snacks like raisins, dried veggies (corn is great), and maybe a sweat treat or two.
- Fill your bags. Place one snack/treat and one toy or craft item in each bag.
- Pack your bags with the rest of your things and get on the road. After the first hour has passed on the road (or before if your kid is getting agitated) hand out the first bag. At the second hour mark, hand out another bag, rinse and repeat.
This trick worked wonders for us! The kids really enjoyed opening each bag to find something new to play with and snack on. Tantrums and whining were rare and it was a lot of fun. Here's some ideas for your bags:
- Dried fruit
- Dried veggies
- Gelatin snack
- Fruit snacks
- Grapes
- Nuts
- Candy (in moderation)
- Pencil and paper for drawing
- Action figure or doll
- Toy cars
- Pipe cleaners (make things with them)
- Beads, string, yarn, etc.
- Childrens' book
If you have any other ides or suggestions for what can go in these bags or if you have your own secret for keeping kids calm in the car, I'd love to hear it in the comments section!
Interviewed on God's Mac Podcast
A few weeks ago I was interviewed by Gabe of the God's Mac podcast. That episode is now available via their website or iTunes. Gabe and I chat about the tools I use for my graphic design work, the journey to my day job at a mega-church, as well as my t-shirt shop at birddoctor.biz and stopforwarding.us.
If you can sit through all my "uhs" and "ums" (so shamefull) you might learn something interesting.

What good are these "watch lists" if nobody's watching the people on the lists? Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev was on two different federal watch lists, but nobody kept tabs on him, even after he spent several months abroad. Heck, all they had to do was look at his public You Tube page to know he was a radical Islamist.
U.S. authorities put alleged Boston bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev on two separate watch lists in 2011 after Russian security agencies twice reached out to their American counterparts, raising new questions about missed opportunities to prevent the attack.
Russian officials contacted the Federal Bureau of Investigation in March 2011, then reached out to the Central Intelligence Agency in September of that year, citing concerns Mr. Tsarnaev might have been associating with extremists, according to U.S. officials.
The FBI has said it interviewed Mr. Tsarnaev and conducted a threat assessment, but found nothing "derogatory" that could prompt further investigation. A U.S. law-enforcement official said the case was closed after three months, after the FBI asked Russian counterparts for additional information, but received none.
U.S. officials said Wednesday that at the request of the CIA, Mr. Tsarnaev was added to a broad database called Terrorist Identities Datamart Environment, which holds hundreds of thousands of names flagged by multiple U.S. security agencies. (Read More)
As a side note, I had the local ABC News affiliate on because I wanted to get the weather report. They opened the broadcast reporting that the Tsarnaevs were lone wolves who had no outside help. That's kind of hard to believe considering that neither one had a job and they were welfare recipients. How did they pay for their guns, the materials to make the bombs, and the trip to Russia? Who paid for that fancy car in the photo above?
