WASHINGTON -- NASA astronaut and International Space Station Commander Doug Wheelock became the first person to "check in" from space Friday using the mobile social networking application Foursquare.
Wheelock's check in to the space station launches a partnership between NASA and Foursquare to connect its users to the space agency, enabling them to explore the universe and discover Earth.
The partnership also features a customized section of the Foursquare website for NASA, where the agency will provide official tips and information about the nation's space program in locations throughout the United States.
"NASA's work ranges from proving flight technologies to exploring the universe," said Bob Jacobs, deputy associate administrator for communications at NASA Headquarters in Washington. "Partnering with Foursquare allows NASA to connect directly with the people who visit our locations and share with them the interesting things that happen at each place."
When Wheelock checked in to the space station venue using Foursquare's mobile site, he received a message that revealed a new Foursquare badge: "You are now 220 miles above Earth traveling at 17,500 mph and unlocked the NASA Explorer Badge! Show this badge and get a free scoop of astronaut ice cream."
When Wheelock completes his mission and returns to Earth at the end of November, the NASA Explorer badge will be available for Foursquare users to earn.
"Check-ins from around the world have been cool, but this blew my mind!" said Dennis Crowley, CEO and co-founder of Foursquare. "We're psyched to partner with NASA to help users explore the space program and the universe."
Foursquare users check in to venues wherever they go using the service to find nearby friends; get helpful tips about the places they're visiting; and be challenged and rewarded for experiencing new things.
As result of the partnership, Foursquare users who check in to a NASA-related venue will find information from NASA about the location. For example, someone checking in at the agency's headquarters in Washington will discover that a replica of NASA astrophysicist John Mather's Nobel Prize is on display in the lobby.
Wheelock launched to the space station as a flight engineer for the Expedition 24 crew on June 15. On Sept. 22, he assumed command of the orbiting laboratory and Expedition 25. During his time in space, he and astronaut Tracy Caldwell Dyson conducted three spacewalks to replace a faulty cooling pump module on the station's backbone, known as the truss. Additionally, the Expedition 24 and 25 crew members continue work on more than 100 microgravity experiments in human research, biology and biotechnology, physical and materials sciences, technology development, and Earth and space sciences.
JESS3 designed the customized NASA page for Foursquare and produced the check-in video.

Phenytoin for epilepsy
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
|Dilantin, Phenytek
Phenytoin is available in liquid, capsule, and chewable tablet forms. It is also available as an injection (shot).
Fosphenytoin is a form of phenytoin that is given in a vein (intravenous, or IV) or into a muscle (intramuscular, or IM) and can be used in cases of status epilepticus.
Why It Is Used
Phenytoin is one of the drugs of choice for:
Phenytoin should not be used to treat absence seizures or myoclonic seizures.
How Well It Works
Phenytoin helps to control partial seizures and generalized tonic-clonic seizures.1
Side Effects
Common side effects of phenytoin include:
- Swollen, tender gums.
- Growth of facial and body hair.
- Enlarged or rough facial features.
- Acne.
- Skin rash.
High levels of phenytoin in the body may also cause:
- Drowsiness.
- Double vision.
- Dizziness.
- Tremors or shaking.
- Decreased coordination.
- Confusion and inability to concentrate.
- Osteoporosis (when taken for months to years).
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning on antiepileptic medicines and the risk of suicide and suicidal thoughts. The FDA does not recommend that people stop using these medicines. Instead, people who take antiepileptic medicine should be watched closely for warning signs of suicide. People who take antiepileptic medicine and who are worried about this side effect should talk to a doctor.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
It may take time and careful, controlled adjustments by you and your doctor to find the combination, schedule, and dosing of medicine to best manage your epilepsy. The goal is to prevent seizures while causing as few side effects as possible. After you and your doctor figure out the medicine program that works best for you, make sure to follow your program exactly as prescribed.
- Adverse effects. Phenytoin has side effects that may affect your appearance (excess hair, acne, enlarged or rough facial features). Many people may be unwilling to deal with these side effects. Most people tolerate the drug fairly well. But at high levels it can affect your thinking (cognitive impairment). Because it can cause osteoporosis, phenytoin often is not the best choice for older people. In rare cases, phenytoin can affect blood counts, the liver, or the kidneys.
- Drug interactions. Many medicines for epilepsy can interact with other medicines you may be taking. This means that your epilepsy medicine may not work as well, or it may affect the way another medicine you are taking works. Some of these interactions can be dangerous. Make sure to tell your doctor about all the medicines, herbal pills, and dietary supplements you are taking. Phenytoin may reduce the effectiveness of birth control pills.
- Risk of birth defects. All medicines for epilepsy have some risk of birth defects. But the risk of birth defects needs to be carefully compared to other risks to the baby if the mother stops taking her epilepsy medicine. If you are thinking about becoming pregnant, be sure to plan ahead and talk with your doctor about the benefits and risks of taking epilepsy medicine during your pregnancy. It you are already pregnant, it is not too late. The best thing to do is talk to your doctor about your pregnancy before you make any changes to the medicines you are taking.
- Other concerns. Getting regular blood tests to monitor the level of medicine in your blood can help keep your dose in the appropriate range. For some people, phenytoin may cause side effects or carry risks that are not yet fully known. Report any unexpected side effects or problems to your doctor.

Thibodeau already a free agent draw
Free agents are already naming Tom Thibodeau as a reason to sign with the Chicago Bulls. (Chicago Tribune)
Kurt Thomas spent part of Monday afternoon running down the reasons he signed with the Bulls for his 16th NBA season.
One name kept resurfacing: Tom Thibodeau.
"As an assistant, his approach was unbelievable," said Thomas, who spent five seasons with the new Bulls coach when they were with the Knicks. "He was known for putting in 15-hour days. He's solid and knows how to talk to players.
"When you see how hard he works, you want to work that hard too. To see his growth over all these years, I think now that he has this (head coaching) opportunity he'll be very successful."
Look, I'm with Kurt. Thibodeau will be a good coach in the NBA. He's too hard-working and too knowledgeable about defense not to be. But I don't think free agents should be flocking towards Thibs like the beautiful women who instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. Not yet, at least.
2 Responses to "Thibodeau already a free agent draw"
We'll maybe it's because in Chicago the Beer flows like wine?
I'm not sure. I heard that was Aspen but maybe Chicago does too now.

Blackwood Swim School has been in operation since 2009 and was formerly located inside Blackwood Fitness, 210 Main Road Blackwood. We no longer reside in the Blackwood Fitness building and are not associated with them in any way!
As of March 31st 2012 we relocated to Daw Park, SA to a new purpose built teaching pool.
We conduct fun and child-centered Swimming and Water Safety lessons for children of all ages and abilities in a positive, caring family environment!
Please take the time to have look around our website and learn more about our Programs, Our Staff and see some of our fantastic swimmers!
More information regarding our fees, terms and conditions is available here!
Please contact us today to enrol your child!
We hope to see you all at the pool soon!
From all the team at Blackwood Swim School!
Please see the following links for more information.
Blackwood Swim School @ Daw Park – Fees, Terms and Conditions
Payment Information for Term 3 2012
The following parking instructions are not a guideline. It is a requirement of your child continuing to receive lessons at our Swim School that these parking instructions are adhered to.
You may park in front of our property on the Northern Side of Aver Ave (this is the same side that our property is on). You may also park in our front yard taking care to always be aware of people entering and exiting the property for their lessons.
If these two areas do not have any available parking spots then you may park in Roseberry Street taking care not to block or overhang any driveways.
Our neighbours have been very supportive however on a number of occasions during the past two weeks our clients have blocked, or partially blocked, their driveways.
We have also been alerted to the highly dangerous activity of people walking down the middle of the road with their children. Our street is regularly used as a thoroughfare to Goodwood Road and as such the speed limit is not always adhered to by reckless motorists. Please ensure your and your children's safety by using the footpath, crossing the road with care, and driving safely below the speed limit.
If these parking instructions are not followed we will have no other choice other than to limit our teaching to one class at a time. This would result in half of you missing out on lessons at this pool.
Thank you
Emma and Anthony

'Harry Potter' Star Daniel Radcliffe Is 'My Boy Jack'
By Rebecca Louie for Daily News, 19th April 2008
About a year ago, Daniel Radcliffe text-messaged a friend:
"Just got out of 2-foot muddy water filled with rats. In Ireland. Bucketing down. Two have gone off with hypothermia. It's brilliant!"
With nearly half his life and career spent portraying boy wizard Harry Potter, it's no shocker that Radcliffe has found magic in more mature parts. This fall, he reprises his hit London stage role as a troubled (and naked!) stable boy when "Equus" hits Broadway.
Sunday at 9, he plays Rudyard Kipling's son in "My Boy Jack," the rain-soaked war drama on PBS (Ch. 13) he giddily described in his text.
Despite severe myopia and being underage, Jack is pressed by his patriotic father to fight in World War I. Radcliffe says tapping the emotional and political themes of the time wasn't difficult.
"We live in pretty turbulent times and the feel of the period wasn't a massive mental stretch," he says. "Much harder were the grueling physical demands of shooting. There was mud everywhere, and I'd have to shower twice to get it all off.
"It was so much fun. At first, the fact that I played Harry Potter was a novelty and the lads were having a bit of a laugh about it. But after two hours, when everyone was really feeling the cold, it didn't matter. We just kept each other's spirits up."
On the flip side, concluding his stint as J.K. Rowling's young hero brings Radcliffe a dash of heartache. This November, "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince," the sixth installment of the movie franchise, hits theaters.
He's currently filming the series' grand finale, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" – which is being made as two separate films.
"It'll be quite sad and interesting to say goodbye to people who have become my best friends," says Radcliffe. "But the exciting part is now I'll be out in the big, wide world and doing different things."
Some of them will be quite ordinary. Radcliffe describes himself as "boring," a bit "old-fashioned" and one who "gets vast amounts of pleasure out of very simple things." A big fan of cricket, he also enjoys reading literature and writing poems with strict rhyme and meter.
"I don't need to go to a massive party to have a great time," says Radcliffe, who speaks quickly and has a droll sense of humor. "I would much rather hang out with friends and watch a movie. Compared to how a lot of the younger actors in America have chosen to live, I lead a very, very dull life."
Although he's moving to Manhattan for his "Equus" stint (Radcliffe has already purchased two apartments: a $4.3 million loft on Mercer St. and a $4.9 million, three-bedroom on Morton), he insists he won't party; he's too dedicated to performing each night. His father, former ICM literary agent Alan Radcliffe, will join him in New York.
"My dad gave up his job to chaperone me on set," says Radcliffe, who still lives with his parents in Fulham, West London.
"My dad has been with me every single day and I think it strengthened the relationship. I learned to talk to my dad in a situation that most teenagers wouldn't find themselves in. I remember it shocking me when I was around at some of my friend's houses, the way they would talk to their parents."
"Equus" opens in September. Joining Radcliffe is "Potter" co-star Richard Griffiths, who won Tony and Olivier Awards in 2006 for his portrayal of a teacher in "The History Boys."
During "Equus," Radcliffe strips down for a sex scene, a climax that had many fans and theatergoers hot and literally bothered when he debuted in London's West End last year.
"I think it's rather funny that some people are rather overexcited about it," says Radcliffe. "There was a sense of moral outrage in America, a little bit in England when it was announced I would be naked. I didn't understand it because it's just a character. No one actually minded that he blinds six horses. It's a bit of a dose of double standard which aggravated me slightly."
Though his privates soon won't be, Radcliffe says he doesn't have much else to hide; he's not currently dating. "I am very busy with 'Potter' and all those things," he says.
"I do love girls, love talking to girls. But at this point, [I'm] just very, very busy and I think relationships would not be the best idea."

Enthusiasts are not Koi about enjoying their hobby
Posted: March 04, 2013|
By JAMES BRINDLE
SOMETHING fishy has been going on of late at Uttoxeter Racecourse.
The Wood Lane venue opened its doors to the East Midlands Koi Club's annual winter show which attracted record numbers for its 2013 event.
The weekend show featured over 40 vats of the best UK Koi, as well as dealer and craft stands and much more for enthusiasts to enjoy.
It was the second year the show has been held at the racecourse after being forced to move from Bretby Hotel and Conference Centre in South Derbyshire when it closed down.
Donna Jones, owner of Richdon Koi who are part of the East Midlands Koi Club, told the Advertiser it had been an 'extremely successful' event.
She said: "It went very, very well. The Saturday was a bit quieter than normal but that may have been because of football and rugby etc.
"However, the Sunday was just mad. In total we had about 1,000 people through the door when we would normally have about 700 or so, so it was a really good show.
"It is the second time we've done it at Uttoxeter and we have a three-year deal with them so will be back again next year.
"We used to have it in Bretby but when that closed, Uttoxeter Racecourse came forward and said we could have it there and it has worked out really well."

How do you scale a clever mobile app solving a simple problem in the large retail space? And how do you do it on a shoestring budget?
An interesting challenge I recently got to assist an entrepreneur with.
One way is to attract more prospects in the targeted segment, on the cheap; another way is to extend the segment through business model innovation.
Work completed
- Introduction of the entrepreneur to inbound marketing and crossing-the-chasm concepts e.g. importance of (1) not selling "pragmatist buyers" on innovation, but product's usefulness, reliability, and existing users (2) focusing on a cohesive market in which decision makers speak to each other)
- Recommendation for a light-weight self-serve version of the product, that smaller retailers can purchase and configure online for a monthly fee
- Recommendation to focus on (1) inbound marketing (2) referral strategy for existing clients
- Advice on fundraising roadmap
Key contributions
- Business model and product recommendations currently pursued
- Helped avoid common mistake of spending lots of money and time on conventional marketing
- Focus on inbound marketing yielded increased number of high-quality leads
- Large new opportunity emerged for entrepreneur through referral

Did all the bulbs burn out at the same time?
Replysloatmtn, December 14, 2009, 03:37Rookie
no, the last one out of I believe three burnt out last week, so I know it's not the fuse.
ReplyBret Bodas, December 14, 2009, 09:28Master
OK, so I would go to the dealer and get the bulbs first, and then get the repair manual to replace the bulbs. You might find a free manual here: http://bit.ly/autozone_repair_info or go to http://bit.ly/alldata_repair_manuals or http://bit.ly/Mitchell_DIY_Repair_Manuals and get an online repair manual subscription.

"I thought this was great. I was running low on potatoes so topped up the 4 cups with cauliflower. Used about 3 1/2 cups of potatoes and 1/2 cup cauliflower. Just threw everything in a pot except the cheese and boiled. I used oxo powder and water for the broth. My cream cheese was low fat. After potatoes were tender I smashed a bit, then used a..."
"Great tasting and easy~"
"Great Pie! I didn't have pecans, so used walnuts, and it was still great! My family all loved it."
"Great! Loved it. So easy too. Next time I'll mix the cheese up with the dip and just sprinkle a little over the top to prevent it from crusting over."
"These were tasty and pretty. i baked for 25min, and the middle was goo. Next time I'll bake them for around 45min. My toothpick came out clean, but i should have checked more carefully"
"I love this easy delicious desert. Looks very pretty too. I made mine in a 9" ceramic square dish for 'squares'."
"This tasted great and was so easy! It only took a couple of minutes to whip up. I used a little less milk, just added in what I needed. I poured this on top of a cake and spread it out to the edges. I forgot to buy frosting for my cake I made, and I only had 1 1/2cups of sugar, so this recipe was perfect~"
"This made beautiful golden fluffy waffles. I halved the recipe and it made 2 large waffles. Each waffle could feed 2 people. I turned my waffle maker up to high. Cooked for 50seconds and then flipped and cooked for another 2 1/2 minutes. LOVED IT!!"
"I really liked them, and have my second batch in the oven now cooking. They are simple to put together and use simple ingrediants I usually have on hand. The kids love them, and they make a nice homemade healthy snack for their lunches."
"I loved these too! I added 1tsp vanilla and 1/2tsp cinnamon to the batter. When they were ready I topped with maple syrup and a dollop of whip cream, to make a special breakfast. Kids (and mom!) gobbled them up."

Hey everyone!
I hope everyone is having a really wonderful weekend! I've been doing the same old things all week and weekend long...painting, making headpieces...painting...making headpieces...painting...you know, the norm!
the three images above are some lightly tinted images of Keiko and Hannah. Gosh, I have so many more it's crazy. I've had a bunch of these images below that I have not posted, because I was going to wait until I had more of them painted...but I have so many paintings going on at one time, and along with trying to finish these headpieces, I just figured I'd post some of them now. Sometimes I feel like there are more images to paint on, than there are hours in a day! I'm swamped...but it's work that I love doing, so I am not complaining!
Hugs to everyone who has bought something from Lullie Vintage! Thanks so much for the support. :) And a HUGE thank you to Keiko for being such a good friend...and for your lovely tweets and blog posts. Your encouragement and support blows me away.
xoxo, Shae

FLORIDA, April 3, 2012 — Multiculturalism continues to be a powerful political force in American culture. America was founded as a nation of immigrants, and while immigrants added to the richness of American Indian culture (look no farther than the horse and the Plains Indians), their spread across the continent was also at American Indians' expense.
What is the general feeling about illegal immigrants among American Indians today? If amnesty is ultimately granted to them, what sort of impact can this be expected to have on American Indian communities? In this second part of our discussion, Comanche David Yeagley explains.
Joseph F. Cotto:
During the years ahead, it seems likely that multiculturalism will continue to gain traction. From your perspective, is this a positive development for Native Americans/American Indians?
Dr. David A. Yeagley: It will be devastating to Indians for the reasons I stated earlier. Mixing people means interracial sex, mixed-race children, etc. There are not enough Indians to survive this much longer.
Race is precious. Our race, to us, is most precious of all. However, too many Indian women, seeking something better, will mate with any number of races these days. Indian men are considered promiscuous.
We are, in a very real sense, a defeated people. Our Indian women know it. They often do not respect Indian men or even the concept of marriage. Indian men have not set a worthy example. I see a dire future for Indian people in this regard.
Whatever our social values were in the old days, they are not going to sustain us in the future. We have to have clearer, more stringent values.
Cotto: America was founded as a nation of immigrants at Native Americans/American Indians' expense. How would you describe the general opinion about illegal immigrants among Native Americans/American Indians today?
Dr. Yeagley: I do not accept the notion that American was founded by immigrants. This is a fallacy. Where did they register? With whom did they apply for citizenship? Who gave them their certification? This country was founded by escapees. Indians may look at them as invaders, but they really weren't. They were runaways from Europe.
Those that formed the American government in New England were essentially refugees. They built what they did with their own hands, allowed to do such by Indians in the beginning. The country of America belongs to the white, particularly the White Anglo-Saxon Protestants. All others were add-ons. Immigrants were such only after the establishment of government and nationhood. I'd say 1776. The country was not founded by immigrants. That came later.
Indians are not articulate about immigration. We are who we are, and generally speaking, Indians don't see this as an issue that affects us. The tribes along the borders do, of course, but, in general, not so much. Of course, in the north country, in the sparsely populated states, the government is bringing in trainloads of Third World refugees, and the churches are aiding in this. These people are close to uncivilized, and they are mostly from Africa. They prey on poor Indian women, almost immediately.
So, immigration, legal or illegal is, or should be, of great concern to American Indians.
Our indifference in these things, our lack of action, our lack of strength, is a terrible weakness, which foreigners quickly take advantage of. Muslims have used reservations, frightfully, in the eastern United States, and are trying to infiltrate all the major tribes.
I for one am against it, intensely. I frankly don't want to see any more immigrants in this country — legal or illegal. Time to close the doors.
The reservations should most definitely be closed. Indian people need to concentrate on our own survival. Kindness, charity, tolerance, these are the enemies of a nation — when the supply runs out.
Cotto: If amnesty is ultimately granted to illegal immigrants, what sort of impact do you expect this to have on Native American/American Indian communities?
Dr. Yeagley: If amnesty is granted to the near 45 million illegals in this country (not the standard media number of 11 or 12 million), I think Indians should all forfeit our citizenship. To be classified with the weak of the world is not for us. No one in the world could have fought as long and as hard as we did against the Great Whites. That honor is ours alone.
Why should Indians rejoice to see the invasion of the Third World? Or any other world? We've been through that once. Isn't that enough? Do we think we will somehow benefit this time? None of these people, from anywhere in the world, could ever have defeated the American Indians. We owe them not the time of day, let alone honor.
Do Indians think we would have gotten a better deal from Mao? From Pol Pot? Or from Ferdinand, Stalin, or Hitler? We were lucky it was the WASP who landed on our shores, and who created a country. And, again, we alone fought him. We did not fight the Chinese, the Arabs, or the Samoans. These people could never, ever have defeated us. The Great Whites are they with whom we have to do, no other people.

Top 100 global thinkers of 2010
Foreign Policy Magazine has named their top 100 global thinkers of 2010. The list, which I've outlined below, is a mix of policy makers, advocates, and media professionals among other global influencers. A special congratulations goes out to Rosa Whitaker (#53), Ory Okolloh (#59), and Ethan Zuckerman (#81), all of whom I've had the pleasure of connecting and sharing ideas with. View the full list below, and read the full story on the Foreign Policy website:
business-management, celebrity, entrepreneur, environmentalism, social-awareness, trends
Beginning with Warren Buffett and Bill Gates (1), who teamed up to prove that even in tough times great new ideas can emerge, to forecasting economist Nouriel Roubini (12) to political leaders Barack Obama (3) and Angela Merkel (10), FP presents more than just their big ideas. Once again we took a unique survey of this very smart crowd. Nearly two-thirds participated to give you insight into their thinking on everything from how Obama's doing to their preference in new-age reading device (iPad, by a lot). But don't take our word for it — take the same questionnaire we sent to our FP 100 and see how your answers match up against theirs. – Foreign Policy Mag.

ExxonMobil, the world's biggest publicly listed oil and gas company, told regulators that it was cutting back the annual bonus of Rex Tillerson, its chief executive. Tillerson certainly makes enough already; indeed, his salary is going 7 per cent next year – to $2.2m.
But his 2009 bonus is being cut 40 per cent to $2.4m. The bottom line is that the company has not done as well this year as in the past. In the third quarter, for example, Exxon's profit plunged 68 per cent on the grim outlook.

Garage rock is a raw form of rock and roll that was first popular in the United States and Canada from about 1963 to 1967. Its name derives from the perception that many often rehearsed in a family garage.
The style was characterised by lyrics and delivery that were more aggressive and unsophisticated than in commercial pop music at the time, often, for instance, using guitars distorted through a fuzzbox. It began to evolve from regional scenes as early as 1958, heavily influenced by surf rock. The "British Invasion" of 1964-66 greatly influenced garage bands, providing them with a national audience. Thousands of garage bands were extant in the USA and Canada during the era; hundreds produced regional hits, and a handful had national chart hits. By 1968 the style largely disappeared from the national charts. It was also disappearing at the local level as amateur musicians faced college, work or the draft. During the 1960s, it was not recognized as a separate music genre and had no specific name.
In the early 1970s, some critics referred to the style as punk rock, the first form of music to bear this description; although it is sometimes called garage punk, protopunk, or 1960s punk, the style has predominantly been referred to as garage rock.
The term garage rock comes from the perception that many such performers were young and amateurish, and often rehearsed in a family garage.[1] Some bands were made up of middle-class teenagers from the suburbs, but some were from rural or urban areas, while others were composed of professional musicians in their twenties.[2]
The performances were often amateurish, naïve or intentionally raw, with typical themes revolving around the traumas of high school life and songs about "lying girls" being particularly common.[3] The lyrics and delivery were notably more aggressive than was common at the time, often with growled or shouted vocals that dissolved into incoherent screaming.[1] Instrumentation was often characterised by the use of guitars distorted through a fuzzbox.[4] Nevertheless, garage rock acts were diverse in both musical ability and in style, ranging from crude one-chord music (like the Seeds and the Keggs) to near-studio musician quality (including the Knickerbockers, the Remains, and the Fifth Estate). There were also regional variations in many parts of America with flourishing scenes particularly in California, offering bands such as Strawberry Alarm Clock, The Electric Prunes, Dino, Desi & Billy, The Standells, and Texas, offering bands such as Sir Douglas Quintet, The 13th Floor Elevators, Sam the Sham (Wooly Bully never made #1 despite being on the Billboard Hot 100 for almost four and a half months in 1965), and Fever Tree.[3] The Northwest states of Idaho, Washington and Oregon had perhaps the most defined regional sound with bands such as The Bootmen, The Sonics and Paul Revere & the Raiders.[5]
The style began to evolve from regional scenes as early as 1958. Link Wray, with his innovative use of power chords and distortion, was an early influence.[6][7][8][9] "Tall Cool One" (1959) by The Fabulous Wailers and "Louie Louie" by The Kingsmen (1963) are mainstream examples of the genre in its formative stages.[10] By 1963, garage band singles were creeping into the national charts in greater numbers, including Paul Revere and the Raiders (Boise),[11] the Trashmen (Minneapolis)[12] and the Rivieras (South Bend, Indiana).[13] Other influential garage bands, such as the Sonics (Tacoma, Washington), never reached the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.[14] In this early period many bands were heavily influenced by surf rock and there was a cross-pollination between garage rock and energetic and upbeat party frat rock, though the latter is sometimes viewed as merely a subgenre of garage rock.[15]
The "British Invasion" of 1964-66 greatly influenced garage bands, providing them with a national audience and leading many (often surf or hot rod groups) to respond.[3][16][17] The Invasion also inspired new, and often very raw, bands to form. Garage rock bands were generally influenced by those British "beat groups" with a harder, blues-based attack, such as The Kinks, The Who, The Animals, The Yardbirds, The Small Faces, The Pretty Things, Them,[18] and The Rolling Stones. A handful of British garage bands were formed, the most successful being the Troggs.[19] Another influence was the folk-rock of the Byrds and Bob Dylan, especially on bands such as the Leaves.[20]
Peak of popularity[edit]
Thousands of garage bands were extant in the USA and Canada during the era and hundreds produced regional hits.[3] Usually thought to be the first to enjoy national success were The Beau Brummels with "Laugh, Laugh" and "Just a Little", which both reached the top 15 in 1965.[21] Other examples include: "Fortune Teller" by Des Moines's The Image (1967), "The Witch" by Tacoma's The Sonics (1965), "Where You Gonna Go" by Detroit's Unrelated Segments (1967), "It's Cold Outside" by Cleveland's The Choir, "Girl I Got News for You" by Miami's Birdwatchers (1966), "Dirty Water" by Los Angeles-based The Standells (1966), "I Need Love" by Canton, Illinois', The Third Booth,[22][23] and "1-2-5" by Montreal's The Haunted. The November 12, 1966 issue of Billboard cited that sales of the "96 Tears" single by Question Mark & the Mysterians, a band from Michigan, had attained sales of one million copies. Boston's Remains, though only able to make it onto Billboard's Bubbling Under charts, had enough of a following and reputation to open for the Beatles during their 1966 U.S. tour.[24]
Michigan's Shondells released a minor regional hit in 1964 before disbanding. When it was unearthed by a Pittsburgh DJ in 1965, the resulting success of "Hanky Panky" revived the moribund career of Tommy James, who formed a new group of Shondells. Tommy James And The Shondells followed up with twelve more top 40 singles.[25] Tommy also had three top 40 singles as a soloist.
The 1965 song "¡Demolición!" by Peruvian act Los Saicos is considered a South American classic. Allmusic, writing about Los Saicos, noted "The guitars sound like nothing so much as fountains of sparks, the drums have a tribal post-surf throb, and the vocals are positively unhinged" and "These guys were a punk rock band, even if nobody outside Lima knew it at the time".[26]
Despite scores of bands being signed to major or large regional labels, most were commercial failures. For instance, "Going All the Way" by The Squires was issued on a national label under (Atco) and is now regarded as a genre classic, but was not a hit anywhere.[27] It is generally agreed that garage rock peaked both commercially and artistically around 1966.[3] By 1968 the style largely disappeared from the national charts (the minor hit "Question of Temperature" by The Balloon Farm being a notable exception). It was also disappearing at the local level as amateur musicians faced college, work or the draft.[3] New styles had either evolved out of garage rock or replaced it, such as psychedelic rock, progressive rock, heavy metal, country rock, and bubblegum.[3] In Detroit, garage rock stayed alive well into the 1970s, with bands like the MC5, The Stooges, The Up and Death, who employed a much more aggressive style. These bands began to be labelled punk rock and are now often seen as protopunk or proto-hard rock.[28]
The revival of garage rock can be traced to the release of the two disk Nuggets compilation in 1972 by future Patti Smith guitarist Lenny Kaye, which drew together both commercially successful and relatively obscure tracks from the mid-1960s and whose sleeve notes helped coin the phrase punk rock to describe the phenomenon.[29] Iggy Pop and the Stooges, arguably the last garage band, carried garage rock into protopunk in the early 1970s.[4] The mid-to-late 1970s saw the arrival of the quintessential garage punk bands, most notably The Ramones, who are usually considered the first punk band.[30]
In the 1980s, another garage rock revival saw a number of bands linked to the underground music scene earnestly trying to replicate the sound, style, and look of the 1960s garage bands, including The Chesterfield Kings, The Fuzztones, The Pandoras, and Lyres.[31] This trend coincided with a similar surf rock revival, and both styles fed in into the alternative rock movement and future grunge explosion, which some say was partially inspired by garage rock from the Tacoma area like The Sonics and The Wailers, but was largely unknown by fans outside the immediate circles of the bands themselves.[citation needed]
This movement also evolved into an even more primitive form of garage rock that became known as garage punk by the late 1980s, thanks to bands such as The Gories, Thee Mighty Caesars, The Mummies and Thee Headcoats.[32] Bands playing garage punk differed from the garage rock revival bands in that they were less cartoonish caricatures of 1960s garage bands and their overall sound was even more loud and raw, often infusing elements of protopunk and 1970s punk rock (hence the "garage punk" term). The garage rock revival and garage punk coexisted throughout the 1990s and into the 2000s with many independent record labels releasing thousands of records by bands playing various styles of primitive rock and roll all around the world. Some of the more prolific of these independent record labels included Estrus,[33] Get Hip,[34] Bomp!,[35] and Sympathy for the Record Industry.[36]
In the early 2000s, a garage rock or post-punk revival[37] achieved the airplay and commercial success that had eluded garage rock bands of the past. This was led by four bands: The Strokes of New York City, The Hives of Fagersta, Sweden, The Vines of Sydney, and The White Stripes from Detroit, Michigan, christened by the media as the The bands, or "The saviours of rock 'n' roll".[38] Other products of the Detroit rock scene included; The Von Bondies, Electric 6, The Dirtbombs and The Detroit Cobras[39] Elsewhere, other acts such as Billy Childish and The Buff Medways from Chatham, England,[40] The (International) Noise Conspiracy from Umeå, Sweden,[41] The 126.96.36.199's from Tokyo, Japan,[42] and Jay Reatard and the Oblivians from Memphis, USA[43] enjoyed moderate underground success and appeal. A second wave of bands that managed to gain international recognition as a result of the movement included The Black Keys,[44] Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Killers, Interpol, and Kings of Leon from the US,[45] The Libertines, Arctic Monkeys, Bloc Party, Editors, and Franz Ferdinand from the UK,[46] Jet from Australia,[47] and The Datsuns and The D4 from New Zealand.[48]
The mid-2000s saw several underground bands achieve some mainstream prominence. Bands such as Black Lips[49] and Jay Reatard,[50] who initially released their records on traditionally garage punk labels such as In The Red Records, began signing to larger, more well-known independent labels.[51] Several bands followed them in signing to larger labels such as Rough Trade[52] and Drag City.[53]

Find Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
Whats the best way to get started when it comes to buying a home?
Youll want to learn as much as you can and do your homework. We present our First Time Home Buyer Seminar and our Home Construction Loan Seminar several times a year. Our seminar schedule is posted under the News & Events area of www.members1st.org.
What types of mortgages does Members 1st offer?
We offer Construction Loans, Mortgage Pre-Approvals, Mortgage Refinancing, a First Time Home Buyers Program, First Mortgages with various terms including 15- and 30-year fixed rate mortgages, 7-year balloon mortgages, 30-year fixed VA/FHA mortgages, USDA 100% financing, PHFA and more.
What documents do we need to have to apply for a mortgage?
We will typically need recent paystubs that cover 30 days, last 2 years W-2 forms, bank statement for 1-2 months and most recent retirement statements including any 401k or IRAs. If you are self-employed, we will need copies of the most recent 2 years complete tax returns in place of the paystubs listed above.
How will I/we know what type of mortgage is the right one for me/us?
There is no answer for this that would apply to everyone. The best way to determine which type of mortgage may be best for you is to speak with one of our mortgage experts. There are many types of mortgages and based on your individual circumstances and future plans. Together we will look at all of your available options and we will recommend the one that is best for you.
What are the qualifying guidelines for a mortgage?
Your income, employment, assets, liabilities and credit history all play a role in your approval process. Once again, it can be very individualized and there is not one answer to this. Our mortgage experts are trained and experienced and can answer this based on what type of mortgage would suit your individual needs.
What are the application fees?
There is no application fee for an initial consultation and pre-approval. Once you have a home under contract, we will collect an application fee or appraisal fee that ranges from $375 to $450.
Whats the difference between being pre-qualified for a mortgage and being pre-approved?
Pre-qualified typically does not involve the gathering of documentation and is not reviewed by anyone that will ultimately approve the request.
Pre-approval typically does involve the gathering and validation of information given and is reviewed and approved.
How do I/we get pre-approved for a mortgage?
You may apply online at
or call our mortgage department at (717) 795-6026 to schedule an appointment with one of our mortgage experts.
How long will a mortgage application appointment take?
Typically an application will take between 45-90 minutes.
The entire process from application to closing on your loan and new home will generally take between 30-60 days to complete.
How do I/we lock in an interest rate?
You must first find a home and have an accepted agreement to purchase the home signed by all parties. Once this is complete you may lock in by contacting your mortgage representative and they will lock in your rate by phone or schedule a time to meet at a later time.
How long does the application and approval process take?
Typically we can get an approval within 24-48 hours of receiving the necessary documentation and completing an application. This may vary depending on your individual circumstances.
What if I/we change our minds after we apply? Can we back out?
You may cancel your application at any time, however any application fee paid is not refundable.
Will I/we need to put a down payment? How is the amount of a down payment determined?
The rate and terms of your loan will be based on a down payment figure ranging from 0-20 percent down. The amount of money you will be required to put down is based on many factors which include your credit rating, if you are a veteran, where you are purchasing your home, and many other criteria. Your mortgage expert will be happy to give you any options that are available to you.
What is Private Mortgage Insurance?
Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) is extra insurance that lenders require from most home buyers. If your down payment is less than 20 percent of the appraised value or sale price, a buyer is required to obtain PMI. This is designed to protect your lender against any default on the loan (i.e., you fail to make payments).
What will my/our Private Mortgage Insurance premiums be?
PMI charges vary depending on the size of your down payment and your loan. Premiums are not tax deductible.
How long do I/we need to keep Private Mortgage Insurance?
When you reach the point in your payments where your loan-to-value ratio hits 78 percent, PMI premiums may be discontinued; however, each individual loan situation may have different requirements.
Whats an escrow account?
An escrow account is used to collect and hold funds to pay your property taxes, homeowner
s insurance premiums or other charges when they become due. The account is often established for you by your lender when you take out your mortgage.
Do I/we need to have an escrow account?
You typically are required to have an escrow account unless you put 20% or more down on your new home. When you put 20% or more down you will be given the option to have an escrow account or you may pay your own taxes and insurance.
How do I/we figure out what our monthly payment will be?
Your monthly payment will be based on your loan amount, interest rate, the length of your financing term, taxes, homeowner's insurance and mortgage insurance if required.
Will our real estate taxes be included in our monthly payment?
Property taxes and home owners insurance will be a part of your mortgage payment if you have an escrow account. They will then be paid automatically when they are due by your mortgage servicer.
Is there a settlement service at Members 1st?
Yes. Members 1st Settlement Services is located in our Administrative Headquarters in Mechanicsburg.
What can we expect at settlement?
Settlement is when you sign all of your final documents for purchasing your home and obtaining your mortgage loan. This is when the deed to your new home is finalized and you take possession of your home. This is also when you will be asked to bring any funds needed to purchase your home and finalize your mortgage loan.
What are points?
A point is a fee equal to 1 percent of the loan amount. Lenders may charge 1, 2 or more points.
What are discount points used for?
Discount points are prepaid interest on the mortgage loan. The more points you pay up front, the lower the interest rate on the loan. This kind of point is typically tax deductible.
What are closing costs and how are they determined?
Closing costs are costs involved in purchasing a home and processing and closing your mortgage loan. Some of these costs are the same for all loans such as state transfer tax, recording fees for your mortgage and deed and title insurance. Other fees vary depending on the loan type such as appraisal fees and origination fees.
There are numerous other fees included in closing costs and they vary based on what mortgage program is used for purchase.
Will our mortgage be sold to another lender?
Typically Members 1st processes, closes and funds your loan in our name and the servicing (collecting of payments) of your loan is sold to another lender. This is done to allow us to obtain the best possible rate for our members. This in no way changes any terms or conditions of you loan. Once your loan closes, the terms and conditions of your loan can not change by law.
Will there be pre-payment penalties on our loan and if so, what could it be?
Typically there are no pre-payment penalties on mortgage loans.

A new technical report from the World Health Organization (WHO) and UN Environment Program (UNEP) made a remarkable splash earlier this month, raising worries that hormone-disrupting chemicals currently on the market pose a "global threat" to human and ecosystem health.
In the paper, State of the Science of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs), scientists flagged serious concern about the level of endocrine-related diseases and disorders on the rise, including: low semen quality and non-descended testes in young males; breast, endometrial and ovarian cancers; early onset of breast development in women; and developmental effects on the nervous system in children.
Minnesota lakes contains triclosan, say researchers. An anti-bacterial pesticide found in soap, toothpaste and many other products, triclosan is currently being (slowly) evaluated by both EPA and FDA. Meanwhile, many companies have already pulled it from their list of ingredients in response to concerns about the chemical's health and environmental harms.
University of Minnesota scientists analyzed sediment from eight lakes to understand trends in contaminant levels over time. They found that levels of triclosan and its byproducts have gone up steadily since the chemical entered the market in the 1970s.
Today, 75-year-old Indiana soybean farmer Hugh Vernon Bowman will face off with Monsanto in front of the Supreme Court. Five years ago, Monsanto sued Bowman for seed patent infringement and won. Now the high court will hear the farmer's appeal.
Monsanto's aggressive pursuit of patent infringement lawsuits like Bowman v. Monsanto is well documented in a recent report by the Center for Food Safety and Save Our Seeds. As of January 2013, the corporation had filed 144 suits against 410 farmers in 27 states. Corn and soybean growers across the country will be watching the outcome of today's case very closely.
Pesticide giant Syngenta kicked off 2013 by writing checks to communities whose water supplies have been contaminated with their endocrine-disrupting herbicide, atrazine.
According to the Associated Press, the money will go to community water systems that serve more than 37 million Americans in all, mostly in farming states — including Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri and Ohio — where atrazine has been commonly used to control weeds in corn fields.
Frogs exposed to commonly used pesticides in the lab had mortality rates between 40-100%, according to a new study in Germany. One fungicide, when applied at doses approved for use, caused frogs to die within an hour.
The new study provides strong support for earlier research pointing to pesticide exposure as a contributor to the global decline of amphibians, a disturbing trend that has puzzled researchers for years. Like canaries in a coal mine, frogs are often considered a "sentinel" species — and declines may be an early warning of broader harms.
