One of the undisputed greatest X Games athletes of all time, action sports hero Travis Pastrana's death-defying antics can be seen in movie Nitro Circus 3D and the forthcoming live show UK tour.
Digital Spy spoke to the daredevil racer about the film, extreme sports' absence from the Olympics and Felix Baumgartner taking stunts to a whole new height.
How did your film Nitro Circus 3D on the big screen come about?
"We started out just filming guys who came over to my house. You know, going back to square one. The top guys were trying tricks in the foam pit, it was more of a crash film. It got a following and got bigger and bigger. We just started having fun but we had all these ideas we couldn't do on the TV show because of liability and insurance and everyone was like, 'We should do a 3D movie!' and I was so against it. I was like, 'No, it's not the right time'.
"I just thought it was more a gimmick than anything so we worked a little bit with the guys who'd done Jackass 3D and it was really beneficial. When you film action sports and jumping rooftop-to-rooftop 60 storeys high in 3D, you would really feel what we haven't been able to portray to the audience in the past - the height and the vastness of what was going on. It just feels flat on TV. But then we couldn't find insurance, they were like, 'Dude, you're going to die!'"
Are you keen to do a sequel?
"Yes and no. I think we definitely have a lot of ideas. Unfortunately we got injured through the making of the film. It was very difficult when one guy goes down, he might have three stunts that he was going to do. Jolene had a really bad shoulder injury and Jim broke his neck - sorry, that's not funny.
"There is a lot of stuff we'd like to do, but with the amount of injuries sustained through this movie, although we had a great time we're like, 'Should there be a sequel?'"
What can fans expect to see at the live tour?
"Well it's the best of the best from every action sport, plus some sports that were Nitro-inspired like 'big wheeling' and 'land boogie boarding'. Pretty much anything that flies, you will see fly. Some things won't be landing, some of the things will be a surprise to see land.
"The first half of the show will be the best of the best of the guys doing stuff they think they can do. The second half of the show - and I think this sets us apart from Cirque du Soleil or something like that - is you have these guys who are top of what they do in their sport, but everyone has to try something they've never tried before. I mean these guys are pushing so far. So it's the best of the best pushing themselves and just not knowing if it's going to work or if it's not going to work."
How much does the live audience element change the safety aspect or add restrictions?
"What's been really great, we've had some shows in the past that were outdoor venues and with a little bit of wind we found that it really affected the show, because unfortunately people like to see crashes but they like to see success as well. So in the second half of the show, if everyone crashes the crowd leaves a little bit let down.
"So with these indoor venues that we're going have throughout Europe it's going to be really good as the guys will be able to pull off stuff even they didn't think was possible."
What is the most dangerous stunt you've ever done?
"I think the most dangerous stunt is any stunt you're not prepared for or where you don't understand the risks. So for us, some of the most dangerous things have been the simpler things. At least on a dirt bike I could be going 400ft in distance but I'm very aware of everything I can do to get away from it - I'm very comfortable on that device. The crazier stunts, we're jumping roof-to-roof 60 storeys up and sometimes when you're going down the ramps the wheels just explode. These are things you can't really calculate per se, and that's definitely the most risky. It's when you're working with equipment that's not really made to do what you're doing."
Not to be too morbid but in terms of injuries how bad does it get, how bad has it got for you, what's the worst you've had?
"Any injury that keeps you away from doing what you love doing is a bad injury. The worst was probably when I'd just turned 15 and I shattered my pelvis completely and unfortunately I bled almost three quarters of my blood volume out over a week."
And that didn't put you off?
"No. It put me in a wheelchair for four months. My mom at that point was like, 'Are you sure this is what you want to?' I wouldn't give it up for the world. I think that was the time she was like, 'Oh well, here we go, this is definitely what he wants to do...'"
It's obviously difficult to talk about stunts without thinking about Felix Baumgartner and his recent record-breaking space jump. What was your view of that? It was just an astonishing thing to watch.
"I think it's awesome, it just shows you. I feel honoured to be part of Red Bull and the stunts they put on. Felix's jump was a three-year work in progress. They modified and redesigned the space suit; I mean what company does better than NASA and whatever the space programs are in making the stuff? They revolutionised that whole realm.
"Felix definitely was as prepared as you could possibly get and he knew the risks and consequences but still, even with that, he tumbled for so long I for sure would have passed out. I don't know how he kept conscious."
The official trailer to Pastrana's stunt movie: Nitro Circus 3D
You've jumped out of a plane without a parachute, right?
"Yeah. It was actually pretty well calculated and it's one of those things that makes people go, 'Oh man'. The worse case scenario if you didn't make it was death but we were really confident in the people we surround ourselves with and it was one of the more fun, less risk things I've done, I think."
If you were given the opportunity to jump from space, would you?
"A hundred percent. Now it would be a lot easier because Felix went through all the work."
This is kind of a hard one but what goes through your mind in a situation like that where if it goes wrong, death is the probable outcome? What's that like psychologically?
"I think that changes depending on what else you have in your life that's going on and how big of a deal it is to you. But I feel like when you make the decision, the conscious decision, a hundred percent to do something fear kind of goes away. It's like 'OK, I'm going to do it anyway so I may as well make the best of it'. I think that makes the difference between the guys who are in action sports and the guys who could have been great but kind of stepped out."
Are there any stunts you wanted to do on film but haven't been able to do yet for whatever reason?
"Oh yes, there's a lot. Actually one that we had really hoped to do for the movie that we didn't get around to doing as I'd hurt my ankle was jumping from a plane without a parachute and landing without a parachute, using a wing suit. But we've got so many ideas.
"A lot of the stuff isn't necessarily great video but it's just really awesome for us and is just fun. So we have to monitor a lot of the stuff and say, 'What's entertaining and what are we going to do just because we're having an awesome time?' That's kind of been the downfall because a lot of the stuff we do is for our own pleasure, but I think that people can see we are really enjoying it, so it's pretty cool."
Would you like to see more extreme sports introduced into the Olympics?
"You know honestly, I think the extreme sports contests we have are our own Olympics. I mean there's nothing better than representing your country and of course I'd love to see it. My wife's hoping they get skateboarding involved. That would be a true honour, being able to represent your country, no matter where you're from.
"So I would love to see more extreme sports come in but at the same time the X Games are our Olympics. I think someone that won the Olympics in snowboarding but didn't win X Games would feel like their career was incomplete. At the same time I think there's conventional sports and athletic sports, so curling for example I don't think is an athletic sport. The Olympics has some randoms. Then you have skillset sports and I think for the most part action sports are very skillset-oriented."
Are you a big fan of action movies and do you have any particular favourites in terms of extreme action on screen?
"I mean I'm a huge movie fan. I definitely love action movies for sure. I feel there hasn't been a lot of really great racing films. I really like watching the stunt work and stuff. Jolene Van Vugt from Nitro Circus got to do a lot of the stunts for Catwoman in the new Batman. So this is stuff that a lot of the Nitro Circus guys are going into.
"Andy Bell is doing a lot of the stunt work motorcycle stuff. It's just been a fun world to kind of get into. Tanner Foust who I race against in rally has been doing Dukes of Hazzard and most of the car stuff for the Bourne movies."

"I would like to reach foreign markets, but finding a reliable translator is so hard!"
"I don't know Italian! How can I know whether a translation is good or not?"
"I have no time to jockey between translators, proofreaders and beta-readers!"
All these, and more, are issues that plague indie authors looking to find new readers abroad. Luckily, you don't have to deal with them, at least not when your Italian translations are concerned. I can provide you a full package of translation, proofreading and beta-reading, giving you exactly what you need: a book ready to format and publish on Amazon and any other Italian ebook store of your choice.
Ernesto should be an Italian national treasure! He creates masterful translations, paying close attention to detail, working with astonishing speed, and communicating with such fluency and good humor that it's easy to forget he's Italian. – Glynnis Campbell, USA Today bestelling author
I have more than five years of experience in the translation business. I worked with international bestselling authors (you may recognize a few names on the quotes they graciously provided for this page), translating a total of 71 books of various lengths, from novellas to 100,000+ words supernovels. I work in tandem with a proofreader and a quality controller to guarantee a professional level of quality, on par with what a traditional foreign publisher would give you.
Fast, accurate, and absolutely outstanding! Ernesto Pavan is a dream to work with, and went above and beyond in his helpfulness and courtesy. I struck gold when I found IndieBookTranslations.com – Maggie Shayne, New York Times bestelling author
Still unsure? How about you send me a 1,000 words sample from your book, so I can translate it for free and you can have it checked by someone to make sure I will do your work justice?
Ernesto has done a fabulous job with all the translations he has done for me. He is fun to work with and always answers any questions I have. He goes above and beyond the normal scope and I sincerely appreciate that! – Suzan Tisdale, USA Today bestelling author
I work well, but also fast. If your novel is, say, 80,000 words long, I can deliver the translation in about 30 working days – again, not just a draft that you have to find someone to edit and quality-check, but a finished book ready for publishing. I will also translate the book's blurb and listing page (for some unknown reason, people keep asking me if I do that. Yes, I do. Why wouldn't I?).
During the whole translation process, I will keep contact with you, informing you on the progress and asking you a boatload of questions in order to make sure I understand everything and give the exact feeling you wanted to give to the book. I'll try not to bother you too much, but I will send you a few emails for the sake of doing your baby justice.
I love working with Ernesto Pavan. Working together with Maria Idotta, their attention to detail is outstanding and he goes above and beyond to get the translation done. The final work is something I can be proud of. –Tanya Anne Crosby, New York Times bestelling author
I mostly work with romance authors, but I can translate books of all genres. "Hot" content is okay, but because of personal taste, I will not translate books with strong BDSM themes (non-explicit books, or books where BDSM is not the main selling point, are fine). Also, I will refuse to translate books with racist, sexist, homophobic or similar subtexts or messages (books where these things are present, but not portrayed in a positive way, are fine). I had the misfortune of doing it once, and will not make that mistake again.
Ernesto translated two fiction books into Italian for me and he was professional, fast, thorough, and a pleasure to work with. – Ripley Patton, author of the PSS Chronicles
Here is a quick overview of my rates (note: all prices are in euro). I use a two-step payment model: 50% at the signature of the contract and 50% at the delivery of the translation. I accept Paypal and, well, Paypal (alas, I do not have the means to accept other forms of payment).
|This is my basic price for a translation. It means that, for example, a 50.000 words book would cost you € 1.100. This price includes proofreading and quality control! I may have to charge more for particularly complex, hard to adapt books, although I have never felt the need to do so in the past (and I have more than 70 translations under my belt)
|The translation of the book's title, blurb and listing page. Nothing to pay here!
|+10 to 25%
|This is my urgency fee. As I told you, I'm fast, but if you want your book translated now, you can ask me to work faster. For a price
I've had Ernesto translate several of my books. He is professional, keeps to his schedule and has an excellent attitude. I've enjoyed working with Ernesto and plan to continue working with him in the future. – Amber Kell, bestelling M/M author

LOL! Angry bird maybe?ReplyDelete
I did a google search, just because I was curious, and it says the red tint is not uncommon in black labs. It can be caused by shedding fur, sun bleaching, etc. My bet is that Barkley is a fluffy lab. :)

We guess Angry Bird.ReplyDelete

Zindzi Mandela is the South African Ambassador to Denmark, she was born on the 23rd of December 1960 and she is the second of Nelson Mandela's daughters.
Zindzi Mandela was born in Soweto, during the year her parents (Nelson & Winnie Mandela) were wanted by the government. She was 18 months old when her father was sent to prison and the frequent sending of her mother to prison too; left her in the care of her older sister "Zenani Mandela".
In 1985 Zindzi was already reading and speaking to the public on behalf of her parents. On the 10th of February that same year; she was chosen to read her father's refusal speech when he was offered a conditional release by the South African president "PW Botha".
Zindzi Mandela has four children by her first husband; she eventually had a divorce with him, which led to her second marriage in 2013. She got married to a South African National Defence Force by the name; Molapo Motlhajwa. The second marriage didn't last long as the two ended the partnership barely one year after being married.
There are rumours that Zindzi is currently involved with a Kenyan man, though their affair has not been made official.
Nelson Mandela had a divorce with Zindzi's mother (Winne) not too long after he got out of prison. In regards to the divorce; Zindi was chosen to go along with her father to his inauguration when he became the president of South Africa in 1994, she became the stand in First Lady of South Africa until her father remarried at the age of 80.
In 2011, Zindzi had plans of fixing the boxing match between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao to coincide with her father's birthday. Unfortunately that did not happen, which led to Zindzi being sued by the promoter for four million seven hundred dollars, not including the cost of damages to the promoter himself.
Here are a few humanitarian activities Zindzi has been involved in; she was:
Zindzi is a very ambitious woman and has seen to the following achievements in her business life:

The Opus-Two Instrument Control system has several unique features that make it the most flexible control system on the market:
Technically Simple
- No card cages (no backplane boards, excess cards, wasted cost, wasted space)
- No computer cores (no computer power supplies, memory, custom PCI cards to fail)
- No expensive engineering fees for special requirements
- Not dependent on any external hardware (the system is self contained)
- Consoles and chambers use the same three cards. Multiple console and multiple chamber support built in, requires no extra hardware.
- Does not use Ethernet networking, eliminating concerns of packet loss and latency and poor connections over time.
- Fiber Optic Links available for lightning-prone environments.
- VERY low latency (under 20ms).
- Does not rely on MIDI for inter-system communication, yet has full MIDI I/O compatibility in all locations.
- Used in countless church organs and theater organs.
- No power needed to maintain memory (no wall-wart style transformers needed).
- Any installation can be made larger or smaller by simply plugging/unplugging cards and updating the configuration file.
- Adding additional manuals, stops, pistons is as simple as plugging them in and updating the configuration file.
- Additional chambers can be brought online by simply connecting them to the high speed data bus supplying other chambers. No console updates needed.
The Same Equipment Used In Console & Chamber
- All Opus-Two Controller, Input Cards, and Output cards have an 8 pin connector at either end, allowing plug-together card chains.
- Each chain is typically started with a Controller card, and consists of a controller card and at least one input/output card. The cards can be plugged in any order.
- It is quick and easy to wire from one "row" of cards to the next (using supplied CatAdapters).
- Each input/output card has a power, fused power, and two ground connections.
- The exact same controller cards, input cards, and output cards are used in the console and chamber. The only difference is in the programming of the controller. This reduces the number of spare parts to have on hand.
How It Works
- Each unique location (console, chamber, blower starter, etc.) has a controller card. Each controller card has a 3 wire header, and they are all connected together (high speed data bus). Sometimes old wires are used from a previous system, sometimes Cat5/Cat6 cable is run.
- The console will scan/read all inputs, and generate a 'frame' containing a complete console status (swell shoe position, stop statuses, and key statuses). This frame is transmitted on the high speed data bus. Any additional consoles will take turns transmitting their data.
- Chambers will receive this data, process it, and generate appropriate output to the attached output cards.
- The process is repeated.

Encumbered forever by desire and ambition, there's a hunger still unsatisfied" – words of wisdom uttered by David Gilmore, at the end of his journey as the front man of one of the world's most famous bands – Pink Floyd. We often wonder what prompted a man of this magnitude to make such a severely disillusioning statement. Gilmore had everything going for him. At least everything that is considered important by worldly standards.
He had enormous amounts of fame, money, adoration, admiration, success and anything else that the human mind could conceive as success. And yet, he remained dissatisfied. What then is true happiness? What is success, what is true contentment? These questions have been gnawing our minds for a while now forcing us to ask the most fundamental question of all time – WHAT IS LIFE and WHAT IS IT'S PURPOSE?
Ever since I was a child I felt torn between two states of being. One state that was ever changing based on my thoughts and feelings. As a three year old I tasted my first ever chocolate. This induced a nice and happy 'feeling' in me. I associated chocolates with that happy feeling and registered a thought that chocolate would be the source of my contentment. Also, I had my first taste of being punished by my mother for breaking a toy. I felt an overwhelming feeling of sadness, guilt and pain at being punished. I registered a thought that I should behave a certain way with my mother in order to avoid feeling that pain again. Thus, began the formation of what I call my 'personality'. Through every stage of life I kept forming thoughts or what I call mindsets. On examining these 'mindsets' I realize that every mind set was created in order to avoid experiencing a bad feeling (anger, guilt, pain, sorrow) or to experience a good feeling (happiness, joy, etc.). Gautama Buddha called this karma. Buddha said, "Karma is the body's endless desires. Karma is the memory of past pleasure we want to repeat and past pain we want to avoid. It is the delusions of ego and the storm of fear and anger that blocks the mind."
However, throughout this process of thought and feeling there was a state of being that was observing this whole process like a detached observer. If I stay very still and observe myself very carefully, that state of being surfaces and takes over. Then instead of the actor, or the participant, I become a mere observer of life, of the events and occurrences, of the thoughts and emotions. That state has remained unchanged, unscathed and unaltered by the passage of time.
Then I look around me. I look around at the world and its myriad processes. People around me, always in a hurry, running helter skelter. Corporate professionals running to work at nine am. School children running to school. Business men running toward meetings or running toward deadlines. People running toward money, toward goals, toward happiness, status, health, love. Politicians running toward power, companies running toward profits, countries running toward 'development', running running running . . . As I became aware of this mindless quest that I was a part of I made a conscious choice. I decided to STOP! However, just like when a train in furious motion comes to a halt gradually, my process of coming to a standstill also occurred gradually. And just as the passengers in a train that has halted still feel the inertia of motion, I too felt the urge to go back on the run. My inertia was my fear and insecurity. But the only experience that defeats that fear is the thought that there does exist something called infinite bliss, and the only criteria for being able to attain that infinite oneness, is being human.
Great saints that walked the earth from time immemorial have uttered the sacred truth that we are all one. To me this has come to mean that our inherent nature is the same. I identify this nature with that state of being in me that has remained unchanged with time. In the quest for life's true purpose we have come to realize that walking this path alone is virtually impossible for the common man. However, it is important to realize that there is a path. A path devoid of the quest for making money, or striving for fame, love, or anything else resulting in momentary happiness. This is the quest toward realizing the true nature of our self. This quest is all the more powerful if one has a partner or a group of people to share it with. We are all here to carry each other on the path toward ultimate liberation from this bondage called life. So, ask yourself again –What is the true purpose of your life?

RimWorld Creative Rewards Guidelines
When you create content for RimWorld, you are creating first-class content. This means that whatever you make won't be an unimportant throwaway in a corner somewhere - players will interact directly with your content for tens of hours at a time. Your descriptions will be translated into other languages, and stories will be invented based off them.
Sounds great, right? Well, this also means we have to set a really high and consistent standard for this content, because it's really important. This document describes that standard.
When you submit content, it'll get checked by moderators. If it doesn't fit into the game, you'll get an email saying so and a chance to try again. But if you never submit anything that fits, you'll never get anything in the game. Nobody is guaranteed to have their content in the game, even if they paid to back the game at the appropriate level.
We're totally ready to take questions and clarify things. If you're got a question, head to the creative rewards forum.
Pirate backers (creating names only) only need to read the first section. For info about the fictional universe of RimWorld, see the RimWorld universe quick primer.
Names are composed of three words:
The first and last name are shown in menus, while the short form is visually attached to the character in the world. The short form should usually be the same as the first or last name. If it's different, it's shown in the menus separately from the first and last names like a nickname.
Real names are best! All real birth names will be acceptable. In this case, the short form will be the same as either the first or last name most of the time, or will be a common shortening of it (like Joseph having Joe as a short form). I encourage you to go this route! If you do, there will be no problems, and you can stop reading here.
If you want something different, like treating the short form as a nickname, you'll have to be careful not to submit anything too jarring.
Make your content interesting, but do not grasp for attention. Please do not send us content that is over-the-top badass, super fantasy-like, or anything else that would require a double-take in a space western game. Remember that your character is not the hero - they're part of an ensemble cast. The easy way to think about this is: Would the name fit in as a crew member on the TV show Firefly?
Other key rules:
Name examples:
Mercenary backers will write:
Don't write a generic background, and don't just write yourself uneditied. It's fine to use your life as inspiration, but find an interesting way to interpret yourself into the RW universe. Invent interesting, specific details - a profession, a strange childhood talent, connections to a organization. Here are some ideas for former jobs to give your character.
For examples of backstories that we've written which follow these guidelines, check the RimWorld wiki backstories page. All our backstories are interchangeable, so any childhood can match with any adulthood. However, your backstories can come as a pair.
All backstories must be for humans as the game does not support other species/xenohumans/transanimals. All content must be in English (though it'll likely get translated later).
Optional: When writing your backstory, you can replace the character's name and related pronouns with special codes. Based on the final gender, the game will resolve these back during play. This is especially important if the character can spawn as either gender.The replacements are:
Your character will be modified by the game. They'll be wounded, losing limbs and capacities. Or they'll be enhanced by augmentations. They'll age, and may start at various ages. The player may train their skills in anything. As the game develops, the character will be modified even more by game systems we haven't even thought of yet.
All this means is that you're not creating a character as you might normally imagine - you're creating background "pieces" for a character, which can be mixed and matched with other character elements to create the evolving person in the game.
If RimWorld were a pen-and-paper RPG, you wouldn't be rolling up a new hero. You'd be writing backstories that actual players choose between while creating their characters.
This means that a character background cannot fixedly say anything about who the character is now.
For examples of backstories that work this way, you can look at the standard backstories in the wiki.
All content must fit seamlessly into the RimWorld universe. The universe is very broad, but it still follows some basic rules. For info on the universe, please see the RimWorld universe quick primer.
It can never be obvious that someone wrote the content based on something in the real world. Such obviousness would jar players out of the game, which is not okay.
Don't just describe your life. Add some flair - an interesting job, a criminal past, a strange ambition - something to give your character an interesting (but no ridiculous twist).
Here are some ideas to get you started.
As with the names, do not grasp for attention. Make your character a butcher, a soldier, or a politician - but not a mad famous murderer-butcher, a perfect super-soldier from the future, or the ex-president of an entire star system. Your character is not the hero - they are part of an ensemble cast. (this rule is relaxed a tiny bit for Pirate Kings ).
No swearing, inappropriate, or gratuitous content is allowed.
Spelling and grammar must be correct and not deviate radically from the normal Ludeon style.
This is harder than you might think - especially the style part. The normal Ludeon style uses short, simple words and straightforward declarative sentences. Avoid adjectives and adverbs, and try not to use more than one piece of punctuation in a sentence.
If you make minor mistakes, we'll correct them during the moderation process while keeping your meaning intact. We may rearrange words, change punctuation, or remove unnecessary words to match the Ludeon style. If any of our edits bother you feel free to email me at email@example.com and I can correct the situation.
If we can't understand you or you don't fit the style in a more drastic way, we'll send the content back.
Mercenary tier and up get to set skill offsets for their characters. All skills default to 3 - your skill offsets will be added to this amount to get the skill the character starts with in the game. If you set the offset at -2 Mining, the character will spawn with 1 Mining skill. If you set their Mining offset to +4, he'll spawn with 7 Mining skill.
These skill offsets must be balanced. Background can be better or worse, but there are limits to how good or bad they can be before they start unbalancing the game. Try to stick to these general guidelines, and leave room for players to develop the character.
Work disables are classes of work that your character can never do. You can set any number of these (except disabling every type of work). People can be unable to do work due to culture (a noble unwilling to farm a field), phobias, or implied intellectual quirks (a medieval slave cannot do research).
These balance limits are relaxed 10-20% in the case of Pirate Kings.
Not every background needs to be beneficial. I encourage you to consider making a scarred character, or someone with weaknesses in their background. It makes stories interesting when characters vary this way.
There's no need to state how the character ended up on the rimworld or on the ship that crashed there. Focus on the character backstory, not the inciting incident. Let the player interpret how the character ended up at the colony.
These are the skills in RimWorld. The game is unfinished, so the last four skills do nothing right now. All of the skills will gain new meaning and be used for new things as the game develops. For example in version 232 of the game, research skills are only used for researching at a bench. In the future, they might also be used for researching artifacts found in the field.
These are the work tags in the game so far. These are what you choose from when you set your work disables (which determines certain activities that the character will never do). The tags each correspond to a certain set of activities a characters can do. These aren't the same as the skills because skills can influence multiple activities. Doing it this way also lets us expand the game in the future - as new activities are added, they'll be assigned to existing work tags, which will work automatically.

I submitted my site to Ask Jeeves, and got rejected with this error message:

They haven't replied yet, but it sounds like someone copied my site and submitted it to Ask Jeeves....! Am I wrong?

It does sound that way. It may also be that you are sharing an IP address with a site which is still registered, but no longer hosted by your web hosting company.
I've run into that. I'll notice something like WinterSolstice2001.org in my logs for a site I own called Widgets.com (not real name). I wonder why WinterSolstice2001.org is linking to me, so I click on the URL. I see my own site with WinterSolstice2001.org on the URL line. Huh?
It turns out the WinterSolstice2001.org is registered and pointing at the same name servers I use. They were hosted with the same company I use. They apparently cancelled their account, but my web hosting company never actually removes them from their name servers. So both WinterSolstice2001.org and Widgets.com both point to 126.96.36.199 (not real IP address).
Since the search engines see my site when they follow links to WinterSolstice2001.org, they already have my content.
You can resolve this issue pretty easily by contacting your hosting company and asking them to remove the dead site.
In your case, you don't know if that is what has happened. Go to AskJeeves and enter something very specific from your site. Use 5 or 6 contiguous words to make sure that it is very specific. The results should return the offending domain. A little more investigation will tell you if someone stole your content... or there is just an obsolete DNS entry somewhere.

Ah, thank you heather. Now I finally have an example of my gut feeling about not wanting to share an IP address with anyone's sites but my own.

UK slavery reports 'have doubled'
The number of people reported as potential victims of slavery and human trafficking in the UK has more than doubled in the past three years.
Statistics released by the National Crime Agency (NCA) show there were 3,805 people referred for help in 2016 - up from 1,745 people in 2013.
Recent Home Office estimates suggest there are between 10,000 and 13,000 victims of modern slavery in the UK.
Home Office minister Sarah Newton said the government was taking action.
Albanian, UK and Vietnamese nationals are the most commonly reported victims of modern slavery.
'Traded like commodity'
Tamara Barnett, from the Human Trafficking Foundation, said she believed the rise may be down to an increased understanding of what constitutes human trafficking and modern slavery.
"We are starting to recognise a lot more cases as being human trafficking cases," she said.
"It used to be very much seen as just the trafficking of women into the sex trade.
"There was quite a narrow view of what it involved but now there is definitely a broader view of what is human trafficking."
She said the increased awareness was in part due to the introduction of the 2015 Modern Slavery Act, which requires all public authorities to notify the Secretary of State or relevant authority if it has "reasonable grounds to believe that a person may be a victim of slavery or human trafficking".
However, she said additional training and funding was needed to improve awareness of the issue and called for better long-term support for victims.
'Definitely wrong'
A man who was trafficked to work in the UK from Poland has spoken to the BBC about his experience working in the West Midlands.
Using the pseudonym Jamusz to protect his identity, he said he met a man in the job centre in Poland who told him he would earn more in the UK.
"To begin with it was really good, then they started taking half my money and I felt like I was imprisoned," he said.
"I started work at 7.30am and finished at 17:00. I should have earned between £380-£400 a week.
"The money was being transferred into my bank account, but when I went to withdraw it, a person came with me and I would only get half of it.
"I realised this was definitely wrong and I escaped."
Jamusz spoke to police who helped him move to a safe house in Leeds.
"Police kept coming to the place where we were working for checks," he said. "One day they raided the warehouse, and I told the police everything.
"I was scared for my life. Here, my life has definitely got better since I escaped."
Figures from the NCA also suggest more children are potentially being trafficked for sexual exploitation, with the number reported to agencies having doubled in the past 12 months from 105 cases in 2015 to 215 in 2016.
Anne Read, from the Salvation Army, which works with people who have been trafficked, said: "They're traded like a commodity. In almost every case somebody has been told that there is a job for them, and they follow that person to our country."
'Make it our business'
She said it was important people were alert to the problem and reported any suspicions to the authorities.
"Rather than mind our own business we should make it our business," she added.
Ms Newton, minister for vulnerability, safeguarding and countering extremism, said: "Modern slavery is a barbaric crime which destroys the lives of some of the most vulnerable in our society.
"This government has taken world-leading action to tackle it, giving law enforcement agencies the tools they need, toughening up sentences, increasing support for victims and encouraging more to come forward."
She said the government also funded a specialist victim care contract, delivered by the Salvation Army, for victims.

While the world watches Iraq, four children shot in Gaza
As the war in Iraq has intensified this week, Israeli forces in the Occupied Territories have become much more aggressive, a Christian peace campaigner told ICN tonight. Activists in Jenin report that four children were shot this week by Israeli soldiers. Two, aged 14 and 15 have died. One 12-year-old is in critical condition and the other is hospitalised. The refugee camp has been under 24 curfew for the last four days. Twenty-six houses in the camp and city are reported to have been occupied by soldiers for the positioning of snipers and other military purposes. last night, Israeli forces flattened a Mosque with a bulldozer. While doing so, they terrorized a house containing peace activists from the International Solidarity Movement just a few doors down. They fired tank shells through the walls of the house where the pair were staying with a Palestinian family. On March 17, International Solidarity Movement campaigner Rachel Corrie, 23, from Washington, was crushed to death by a bulldozer. She was standing in the road wearing a bright orange jacket. Fellow protester Tom Dale said: "There was absolutely nothing to obscure the driver's view." There are several groups of foreign peace activists in the Palestinian Territories at the present - representing a number of different church groups and organisations and aged 20 - 70 plus. "For a long time we felt that because we were foreigners we were in some way a little safer," one campaigner told ICN. "Now that the war in Iraq has started we have noticed a change in the way the soldiers behave and we no longer feel safe. But we will continue to stay and do our best to protect the people here with our presence."

Also skin changer in demo is not working.
this is corrected now.
Hi. How do I change the page's width without affecting the responsiveness? For instance, I changed width from css to 1100px but then the site didn't adapt correctly to tablets and mobiles. Thanks
Please provide the site address, so we can inspect it and give you better assistance. I hope you used Theme options Custom CSS or child theme for this and not edited css in code directly.
Probably the issue is in media queries css.
Best regards
Yes, we used the child theme you provided. The site is under construction and is here http://649743052.linuxzone67.grserver.gr.185-4-133-7.linuxzone67.grserver.gr/ .
Right now we have reverted it back to the initial page width.(960px). The class we've changed for page width is #page { display: block; margin: 0 auto; width: 960px;
Since you're using child theme it's safe to change style.css in that child theme AND update Kauri. We recommend to install the update once it gets approved by Envato (now it's in review queue).You should get notice from Envato once it get approved.
About the css code – you changed the code correctly, but you should have added also the media query after – so full code is this:
#page { width: 1100px; } @media screen and (max-width: 960px) { #page { width: 96% !important; } }
Best regards,

Please help me where is woocommerce.zip?
I'm not sure really why are you asking this ? There is no need for "woocommerce.zip" file because WooCommerce is supposed to be installed via theme required plugins system …
To install WooCommerce click on "Begin installing plugins" in the notice at the top of (admin) pages, or go to Appearance > Install Plugins.
Best regards
Hi, i have upload demo content theme and changed slider image but FEATURED PRODUCTS on slider is not scrolling automatically. please help.
there's a setting for slider timing (in the Visual Composer Slider element), set it using miliseconds, for example 5000 for 5 sec, ,meaning each slider with stay for 5 secs. and the scroll to next
I am no getting slider timing option, should i need to download Visual Composer plugin ?
No, you got the latest version (most probably, if you purchased lately). It's not the matter of plugin, but the extension that comes with theme. Please, go to http://help.micemade.com , open ticket and send a temporary WP admin access, and I'll check it out for you
Running child theme with v2.5.0 of theme and with WP 4.5.3 and WooCommerce v2.6.4. My Shopping Cart button/list item in header is no longer showing the contents in drop-down, even when it has product in there? I've tried with parent theme and get the same issue. Any ideas what might be going on here? http://pylonwebdev.co.uk/gtfd/cart/
I cannot view your site (Kauri template), because maintenance mode is on. Could you please submit a ticket on our support: http://help.micemade.com/support/signup with temporary WP admin access so I can check this and fix asap
Best regards
I want to change in sub-header images of other pages it there any option to make this change.
the sub-header images are loaded randomly (if you set them in Theme options > Home settings > Featured products random background images). That option should have been defined better (with description pointing out that images appear on other pages, too)...
.post-type-archive-product .backimg { background: url( YOUR IMAGE URL ) !important; }or, use page id attribute (found in body tag – use Inspect element – F12 to find out the id attribute):
.page-id-1292 .backimg { background: url( YOUR IMAGE URL ) !important; }

I've purchased this theme a long time ago, and will be using it again soon. However, I like to know whether your latest release is compatible with WordPress 4.6+ and WooCommerce 2.6.4. Please advise soon. Thank you.
sorry for delayed answer – yes, latest available Kauri is compatible with WP 4.6+ and WooCommerce 2.6.4
Best regards
To date, it appears the Kauri theme has no further updates. Why is that so? Moreover your demo website is broken … What a huge disappointment !!
I'm sorry you feel that way. Kauri is actually updated for latest incoming WooCommerce 3.0.0 (major update with a lot of changes, mostly "under the hood"), but not submitted to Theme forest yet.
It should have been released couple of days ago, but WC prolonged release date to April the 4th, and so we have done the same with Kauri.
The demo was down because we have some issues in our demo server database. It's restored now.

Does this theme work with wp ecommerce ( getshopped )

Hi, guys, First of all I really enjoy the theme and she is looking very sharp. I have a problem though with adding the featured images to the carrousel. They are set as featured products. I can not find the option for adding a featured images, as it does not show at the screen options at the edit product page (so I can add only a product image) Can you please assist me with the issue? Regards, Kalin
thank you for your kind words.
the featured product are being set in product listing page (in WP admin > Products ) – click on black star to make product featured. Featured product image is set in product edit page. carousel uses product featured image.
It's also important you set in Appearance > Theme options > Home settings > Featured products or posts to "Products"
Best regards,
my mobile menu is not working for some reason. I have checked the checkbox in the theme options, but it still just shows as a menu. Did i forgot something?
The site is: http://winorlearn.nl
thnx in advance!

I hope you will consider working with me. Highlighted below are the services I offer at McHugh & Company, my consulting practice.
- What is the "business model" today and what is the business model of the future?
- Is the company properly organized (ownership, management, people, systems, policies) to deliver this business model?
- Is the company executing effectively (costs, services)?
- How can the financial performance and shareholder value be optimized?
More detail about each type of interrelated service can be found in the sections below and in the my company's website.
I also offer a FREE no obligation 30 minute phone consultation. Contact me and let's talk!
CEO Coaching
All of my project work has a significant coaching connection to the CEO and his/her team. I have worked with CEOs from a diverse range of companies in size, scope and industries. My project approach is always 'hands on' with the CEO and the team. CEO Coaching is also something that can be done separately 1-1 between the CEO and me on a regular or as-needed basis.
Strategy and Planning
Strategy & Planning consists of an integrated set of actions an organization takes to maximize shareholder value. My assessment work (see below) has frequently identified the need for a new strategic direction, a new operational planning process or both. The strategy/planning activities can be either 'deep dives' or short management workshops, depending on the need.
Performance Improvement
My Performance Improvement work takes aim at the many variables that can negatively impact overall company performance. You get an objective perspective that you may not hear from your own team. I have been summoned countless times to companies in a variety of industries by CEOs, investors, family owners and Directors to perform a comprehensive Strategic/Operational/
This type of assessment is a thorough, independent evaluation/due diligence of the "state of the company".The end product is a comprehensive array of observations, analysis and a set of go forward recommendations on how to grow the business and build shareholder value.
The shareholders and management get an objective perspective they may not hear from their own team. Some examples of successful outcomes:
- clarity on overall direction and focus
- sharper business model
- huge reduction in complexity
- innovative go-to-market tactics
- process bottlenecks identified and cleaned up
- improved financial management
- actions to increase profitability and cash flow
- changes to the organizational structure
- new or changed positions/people
- dramatic increases in EBITDA
Customized Workshops
I can facilitate on- and off-site Strategic Planning or 9Stucks Performance Improvement Workshops of any size or scope. We work with senior management to prepare for the meetings by going over content, agenda, timing, special issues, expected outcomes and follow up steps. The focus of the 9Stucks workshop is performance improvement. The workshop's goal is to quickly diagnose the conditions that are causing your company to be stuck and to create action steps to fix them. It uses the 9Stucks diagnostic model to guide the discussion. The content/approach used in the more detailed assessment noted above is compressed into a one or two day interactive format. The detailed 9Stucks checklist examines leadership, planning methods, people/organizational structure/culture, industry dynamics, go-to-market tactics, competition, business model, financial condition, and systems/processes. Let me help you plan and conduct your next meeting!

When SARAH GLIDDEN set off for Israel in 2007 — a "birthright" tour turned personal truth-quest about the region's history of conflict — she had absorbed such influences as Satrapi and Spiegelman, as well as French cartoonists and countless other comic artists. The style of cartoon reportage she developed, however, was utterly her own — a visual and verbal language that would put her on the map.
"Glidden has a wonderful sense of characterization, color and observation that's well-suited for comics," says the Portland-based cartoonist/author Matt Bors, who traveled through Afghanistan last summer for his own comics reportage. "She is on the leading edge of a new generation of nonfiction cartoonists that, I expect, will be producing major works over the next decade."
"The book is a pretty accurate portrayal of me and the things I was thinking at that time ... ," says Glidden, 30, who will be in town Thursday to discuss the graphic novel at the Washington D.C. Jewish Community Center. "I now have some distance from that character and some remove. I'm forgiving of [Sarah] as a character in the third person."
Glidden, a gifted artist based in Brooklyn, needn't apologize for her earnestly curious 26-year-old self — her debut is compelling not only as narrative, but also as autobiographical reportage. As she journeys to the Golan Heights and Tel Aviv and the Dead Sea, the younger Sarah — a self-described progressive determined to be critical of Israeli practices — searches single-mindedly for facts in a sea of opinions, propaganda and one-sided tour-guide accounts.
Amid it all, Glidden the storyteller exudes intimacy and warmth — both in her tube watercolors and her sometimes confessional persona. And Glidden the knowledge-seeker thinks in much the same way as she paints: forever toward the light.
"I'm a secret journalist wannabe," Glidden says with a conspiratorial laugh.
As Glidden continues her travels in the Mideast, conducting interviews for new projects, it is becoming less and less a secret.
Glidden's professional growth has continued with her travels to Iraq, Turkey, Syria and Lebanon — some of which provide the material for her newest comic: working title, "Stumbling Towards Damascus." Her work is also scheduled to appear next month on Cartoon Movement, a Web site co-edited by Bors.
Her motivation for "Damascus" is telling stories that she believes absolutely must be told. "We've ignored this," says the artist, who graduated from Boston University before alighting for Brooklyn. "We think now, 'That was Bush's war.' But we've ignored the fallout. I want to look at what some news organizations have overlooked."
In "How to Understand Israel," Glidden's autobiographical character admits that she relishes the disorientation of traveling to a new place. Yet she also wrestles with feelings of alienation, finding that even the preparation for her quests has an isolating effect: "Hundreds of pages [of research] later, I had alienated friends with my obsession . . . ignored important things in my life . . . and somehow knew less than when I started."
"I think travel isolates you — going out to places you don't belong ...," Glidden says. "Whenever I've traveled, everybody's new and people can tell you don't belong there. ... But in Israel, everyone's constantly reminding you that do belong there — that you can live there. They are generally welcoming toward Jewish Americans. There's this kind of strange dichotomy where I feel isolated and yet not."
Whether traveling in Syria or sitting over the drafting board in Brooklyn's Greenpoint neighborhood, Glidden has found ways to combat feelings of separation. Friends from the journalistic and comics communities have helped, she says.
"I used to work from home, [but] on long projects it was isolating — I wouldn't leave the house and wouldn't see anybody besides the grocer down the street," Glidden says. "At some point, I started looking for a studio."
Thirsting for workplace camaraderie, she and several fellow cartoonists — all women — opened their Pizza Island studio. "It's six of us, working 10 hours a day — it's a pretty solid group, and we help each other," Glidden says. The studio now houses such similarly touted comic talents as Kate Beaton ("Hark! A Vagrant"), Karen Sneider ("The Collectors"), Julia Wertz ("Drinking at the Movies" and "Fart Party"), Lisa Hanawalt ("I Want You") and Domitille Collardey ("What Had Happened Was . . . ").
Glidden continues to win supporters abroad, too. "I got a really good reaction from Israel — I was kind of not expecting that," she says.
Besides overcoming the challenges of professional isolation, Glidden also fully embraces the challenges at the table itself.
"Really, anytime I came across a 'problem' that needed to be solved, [that] would be the most fun panel to paint," Glidden says of illustrating "How to Understand Israel."
"I did really enjoy the painting part of making the book most of all," she adds. "It made me remember that I love painting in general, and special lighting situations especially."
On Thursday, Glidden plans to discuss that process of turning travel into a comic, from the reporting to the illustration to the art of spinning it all into compelling narrative."
"I didn't want to spell anything out too bluntly — a lot of the book is about trying to figure out things for myself," she says.
"People can — should — read it in their own way."

Hey everyone!
Just wanted to say that I have moved to another account here on Newgrounds. I probably should of said this earlier, but I actually for got me password to this account. I apologize, but I hope this makes up for it.
You can see the new account here
I will try to delete the two posts I have on here, and I will be remixing them both on my new acocunt, so be on the lookout for that!
Thanks for all the support everyone!
I'm very sorry for taking so much time with it, but I have finally put it here on Newgrounds. This is actually the first part of a 3-part submission that I'm putting up soon, so look out for those!
Here's the link for the new song: Linus and Lucy
First off (again, for those who care), yes, I have become a fan of the "There She is" series. As you can tell by favorites list, I have recently become addicted (yes, addicted) to the series. I've seen every episode about 5 times, and I look for new fan art every day on their website. (For all those fans who want to see it, click here)
And just for kicks, I'm going to explain something very clear to everyone: "There She is" is NOT Japanese/Anime. It's a Korean type style of animation called manhwa (go look it up for those who care). I know I'm kinda making a big deal out of it, but I'm sick and tired of people giving the series bad reviews because they THINK it's anime.
Now for the thing that really matters: My latest audio submission.
I am SOOOOOO sorry everyone! I've had so many things over the past month, it's not even funny (i.e. piles of homework given right before Christmas, relatives I HAVE to be nice to, etc.). you get the point...
Anyway, As a repayment, I will have my next audio submission in AT LEAST by the end of the week.
Again, I am very sorry, and I hope everyone out there had an awesome Christmas this year!
I know I've been away from the audio for a while, but I'm coming up with a new idea. Well, more of just another remake. I saw that some people thought my ragtime wasn't good enough, so I'll try again.
The new song should be out in possibly a few weeks!
After many weeks, I have finally figured out how to make a submission. Like I said, it was a remix of the Maple Leaf Rag, and now it's here! Got scared because it took so long for it to com through...
Anyway, enjoy and VOTE 5!
http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen /178338
Got a new Audio Submission coming in soon. Gonna be a remix of Joplin's Maple Leaf Rag. May take a little while, but it's coming soon. Probably sometime next week. Who knows?...
Listen, I'm new to the whole flash stuff, but I've always wanted to make a flash. I've had this idea for a while now, but now I need to make it a reality. So, if anyone can help me with this, I could really use it. If you want to help, PM and tell me what you can do. Thanx!

We had a chance to check out what the new UVU Radio Control Model Aircraft Club has been up to since it started just last month. Jarin Sillitoe, who is president of the club, and club members Tylar Dimond and Tyler Kroft were in attendance, along with Advisor Darrell Green. Tylar Dimond brought in his Cessna 182 he has been building for some time. It is nearing completion and Tylar is excited to see it in the air. Tyler Kroft brought in his electric P-51 Mustang to show the group. The group is working together to build a Radio Control Trainer and rebuild of another trainer. The goal is to get the trainers flying up and ready so the club members can begin some actual RC flying. Tyler Kroft is already flying his P-51 Mustang.
The club meets Mondays at 5:30pm in room SA 323 (Sparks Automotive Building). Everyone is welcome and you don't have to have your own project. Hope to see you there!

Dilemmas, dilemmas.
So when I was staring down a $1 bag of vegetable medley — you know, that mix of carrots, broccoli and cauliflower — I realized I had to do something other than steam it this time. I found Smitten Kitchen's recipe for Broccoli Fritters, and got experimenting. It turns out, vegetable medley works just as well!
You have to heat the veggies in the microwave (put 'em in a bowl with 2-3 tablespoons of water for about 10 minutes, or until thawed), before using a fork to mash them into bite-sized pieces, about the size of your thumbnail. I recommend chopping up the carrot coins before mashing them with your fork, or if you're all fancy and have a food processor, you can pulse everything in there a few times.
It's as easy as mixing everything together to form a dough, then dropping tablespoonfuls onto a hot frying pan that's sizzling with a couple tablespoons of oil. (Worth noting: Oil starts to smoke at different temperatures, so if you see a little smoke, you're not burning your meal. Turn down the heat a little and prop open a window so you don't set off your alarm.)
Basically, think of it like you're making chocolate chip cookies, only instead of putting them on a baking sheet, you're cooking them right on the pan. An even better comparison: Cooking burgers on a stovetop.
The fritters' texture is kind of like a McDonald's hashbrown, only much less greasy, and it has a savory, slightly cheesy flavor that's wildly addictive.
Vegetable Medley Fritters Recipe:
- 1 bag frozen vegetable medley (carrots, broccoli, cauliflower)
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 egg
- ½ cup flour
- ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic (or 1 clove, minced)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
- 1-2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or olive, or canola)
- Place the frozen vegetables in a microwave-safe bowl and add the water. Heat in the microwave for about 10 minutes, or until completely thawed.
- Chop up the carrot coins into bite-sized pieces, and mash all of the vegetables with the back of a fork so they're about the size of your thumbnail or smaller. (Shortcut: You can also just pulse them in a food processor, if you have one.)
- Crack an egg into a large mixing bowl and beat it until it's all a pale yellow. Add the flour, cheese, garlic, salt, mashed vegetables and onion powder (if you're including it). Mix everything together to form a paste-like dough.
- Turn the stovetop to medium-high heat and let the frying pan warm up for about a minute or two. Add the oil and gently swirl the pan so the bottom is coated. Gently drop a few heaping tablespoons of the dough onto the pan, being careful not to let them touch. Let it cook for 2 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
- Set each cooked fritter on a plate lined with paper towels to cool for a few minutes (and collect any excess grease).

Digital Download Audible, Inc. 2006
This is a novel about the "sandwich generation"--middle-aged people who are caring for both parents and children. Recently divorced 40-something CiCi Dupree lives with her recently widowed mother, Belle, and her 17-year-old daughter, Erin. Each narrator reads a different woman's part. Belle has a warm, understanding grandmotherly voice, and Erin has the slightly whiny voice of a young woman on the verge of adulthood. Cici is portrayed as a sharp-tongued, uptight yet insecure mother who treats both her mother and her daughter as children. Because the women are relatives, their differing accents are distracting. But love is in the air, and romance runs rampant, a combination that adds humor and insight to a serious topic. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/ MAY 07]

My wish is for the insurance companies to get moving and send checks so that people like me can get our houses back in shape ["His plans to prepare for next storm," News, Jan. 10].
We reported that the ground floor of our house was swept away by superstorm Sandy a day or two after the storm. We received a pitiful advance payment, and since then, no work has been done to restore the severe damage. This after 47 years of paying insurance premiums.

Original paper
Arsenic speciation in danburite (CaB2Si2O8): a synchrotron XAS and single-crystal EPR study
Li, Rong; Lin, Jinru; Nilges, Mark J.; Chen, Ning; Pan, Yuanming
European Journal of Mineralogy Volume 26 Number 1 (2014), p. 113 - 125
published: Feb 1, 2014
ArtNo. ESP147052601010, Price: 29.00 €
Gem-quality danburite containing 269 ppm As, from Charcas, San Luis Potosi, Mexico, has been investigated by synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and single-crystal electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Arsenic K-edge X-ray absorption near-edge-structure (XANES) spectra show that the dominant oxidation state is +3, and modeling of the extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectra suggests that As3+ mainly occupies the Si site. Single-crystal continuous-wave EPR spectra, measured before and after gamma-ray irradiation, reveal three arsenic-associated electron centers (I, II and III). Centers I and II have similar principal electron Zeeman g values and principal75 As hyperfine constants [I: A1/h = 732.8(2) MHz, A2/h = −274.3(3) MHz and A3/h = −299.8(3) MHz; II: A1/h = 743.8(2) MHz, A2/h = −306.3(2) MHz and A3/h = −325.8(2) MHz]. These parameters suggest that Centers I and II are varieties of the [AsO2]2− radical, formed from electron trapping on substitutional As3+ ions at the Si site. This model for the [AsO2]2− radical is further supported by 11B (and 10B) superhyperfine parameters determined from pulsed electron spin echo envelope modulation (ESEEM) spectroscopy. Center III is the [AsO3]2− radical on the basis of its characteristic75 As hyperfine constants [A1/h = 2406.0(1) MHz, A2/h = 1903.4(1) MHz and A3/h = 1892.1(1) MHz]. The [AsO3]2− radical with its A1 axis along the Si − O4 bond direction originated from electron trapping on a [AsO4]3− group after removal of the O4 atom during gamma-ray irradiation. Therefore, arsenic in the borosilicate danburite is present in both the +3 and +5 oxidation states and preferentially occupies the Si site. This study also highlights the advantages (and need) of multiple spectroscopic techniques for determining speciation of trace elements such as arsenic in minerals.

A G Thomson House Bed and Breakfast
in Duluth, Minnesota
Oct 26 12
I had a wonderful stay at the AG Thomson Bed & Breakfast. The house is beautiful and the owners are extremely friendly. They are more than happy to accommodate vegans. We stayed for two nights.
The menu was written out each morning with all the vegan items starred and labeled and left on top of our basket of food (they will deliver to your room if you prefer that over eating with the group). The first morning I was served tofu scramble, fruit & soy yogurt parfait, apple crisp and herb roasted potatoes. The next morning's menu included bread pudding, a blackberry bran muffin, tofurky sausage and a fresh fruit plate. Everything was delicious.
My husband did not request vegan meals, but everything he was served was vegetarian.
I highly recommend staying here when visiting Duluth. We hope to be back next summer!

Doors 7:00 PM / Show 8:00 PM
This event is 16 and over
In the past, Portland, OR-based Starfucker (STRFKR) has received almost as much attention for its not-always-accessible moniker as for its immensely accessible dance hooks.
But, having flirted briefly with a couple of name changes, the group is now firmly settled on Starfucker and so the focus can rightly return to what got people talking in the first place: the trio's endlessly catchy, hook-laden pop.
And there's no better place for that conversation to begin than with Reptilians, the band's second album and first with Polyvinyl.
Lyrically, Reptilians focuses primarily on death and the end of the world, two intertwined subjects at the forefront of songwriter Josh Hodges' mind following the passing of his grandmother. Yet, amazingly, the record manages to be not the slightest bit depressing.
In reality, it's quite the opposite -- a trait likely attributed to the fact that the band, like British philosopher Alan Watts (whose lectures are excerpted at various intervals), believes death is responsible for giving meaning to life.
For Starfucker, this comforting notion is expressed musically via vibrant crescendos, explosive drum beats, and layered synth melodies that drive a theatrical live show where dance party meets Roxy Music.
As such, Reptilians effortlessly marches from the stripped-bare psychedelia of "Born", which conjures David Byrne's ghost, to the funeral parade of "Bury Us Alive" (a track that greets death with open arms in a moment of animated celebration), to "Death as a Fetish," where the title becomes a liberating mantra sung over an immediately hummable keyboard-driven loop.
Just as with the band's previous two releases, Reptilians was written almost entirely by principal songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Joshua Hodges.
This time around, however, the group's sound is bolstered by the addition of Keil Corcoran (whom Hodges describes as a "human drum machine") and producer Jacob Portrait (The Dandy Warhols, Mint Chicks).
Hodges first recorded the album's primary tracks in his bedroom and on the road while the band, rounded out by bassist Shawn Glassford, relentlessly toured the country this past year.
Then, Starfucker convened with Portrait at various Portland studios to record the drums as well as add a few final flourishes.
The result is Starfucker's most well-rounded and full-sounding album to date -- a blissfully buoyant affair that will have you dancing to songs about death while having the time of your life.
After forming Wampire, Rocky Tinder and Eric Phipps steadily began to make a name for themselves in the same Portland, OR, scene that has produced labelmates STRFKR as well as Unknown Mortal Orchestra. It makes sense, then, that Wampire came to Polyvinyl's attention when the duo opened for STRFKR at a hometown Portland show and that UMO's bassist Jacob Portrait produced Wampire's debut full-length, Curiosity.
The choice of Portrait was a natural one, with both Tinder and Phipps believing he'd be able to contribute almost as much to the record as they would. And so, in mid-August Tinder and Phipps each brought fragments of song ideas into the studio, before deconstructing, re-arranging, and fitting them back together piece by piece -- at times lyrics and melodies were thrown out, brought back from the dead, or improvised on the spot.
This loosely structured approach made the process truly collaborative, with producer Portrait occasionally chipping in ideas for lyrics, arrangements, and instrumentation. The resulting nine tracks are instantly memorable, while defying easy categorization. Says Phipps, "We realized the record began to stray away from having a 'sound' and gradually became a platter with an assortment of sounds. The record showcases a flavor we haven't quite dug into before."
The album's diverse combination of sounds ultimately helped give birth to its title, Curiosity -- a word that invokes the listener's wonder at what will greet their ears next, while also describing the overall curious tone the record possesses.
First single, "The Hearse" serves as the perfect introduction for those unfamiliar with the band -- its opening notes swelling instantly with electronic organs over a driving drum beat. By the time bass and vocals kick in, you're already hooked. Elsewhere, "Orchards" weaves an infectiously breezy melody on the strength of vocal harmonizing, tuneful whistling, and undulating guitar lines. In some cases, Wampire's unique rhythms are best described by the band members, as with "Trains," a Motown-meets-Strokes track that Tinder perfectly summarizes like so: "It's sexy, sounds huge, and by all means should be blamed for future babies."
The album concludes with the equally sensual "Magic Light," a song centered around a dark seductive bass groove that sets the tone for Tinder's come-hither lyrics. It's the kind of track that draws you ever further into the record's beguiling clutches, leaving a lasting impression that remains well after its final notes have faded out.
