Nov 22nd 2011 11:58PM Probably Nov 29th. Second guess Dec 13th. Very unlikely to be Dec 6th due to this being part way through a DMF week.

Nov 21st 2011 7:48PM Well you can't cap VP except weekly - some people I know have 8k VP. When 4.3 hits, your VP are turned into JP up to the JP cap of 4k. Any left over VP are turned into cash. Just like now you won't get any more JP until you go under 4k.

Nov 20th 2011 9:38PM I doubt it. It is simply a buff that shows as a tabard. Many quests have similar buffs, sometimes changing your whole outfit or even race. Your equipped tabard is still there.
The buff is not even all that well done. Mounting or zoning removes the look even though the buff is still there.
The main hurdle to the tabard manager is how to allow for "use" effects of some tabards, not how to change the look of the slot.

But the ones you can learn through the books are not the same as the ones through research. Still no mention of the book glyphs being made available through research. I'm just glad I learnt them all during Wrath.

Today I issue a call to action, and it is long overdue. Too long have we sat idly by as the forces of corruption and pollution have choked our precious atmosphere! It is time to educate yourself. It is time to find new purpose. It is time to rise above your shackles and never let them bind you again!
I ask you, do you know your state representative? If not, then why not? Change comes from knowledge, change comes from effort, change comes from standing up and showing you care. Get to know him or her on a personal basis. Learn you are strong once again. Become yourself. This is my call, answer it.

Bjork to release Biophilia remix album
Bjork is set to release bastards, an album featuring remixed versions of songs from her most recent LP, Biophilia.
bastards will come out on November 19 on her label One Little Indian and includes reworkings of Biophilia tracks by Death Grips, Hudson Mohawke, These New Puritans, Omar Souleyman and more. The remixes were previously released as part of an eight-part series.
Of the remix album, Bjork says: "I felt it important to gather together the essence of the remixes, so I picked a quarter of them for one CD for people who are perhaps not too sassy downloaders or don't have the time or energy to partake in the hunter-gathering rituals of the internet."
She continued: "I was incredibly impressed by how the core of the mixes took Biophilia somewhere else while still keeping its character, and like they so often do when at their best: the remixes gave the songs more beats; legs to dance on! I spent some time editing together not necessarily the best ones but the ones that made the strongest whole."
The bastards tracklisting is:
'Crystalline' (Omar Souleyman Remix)
'Virus' (Hudson Mohawke "Peaches and Guacamol" Rework)
'Sacrifice' (Death Grips Remix)
'Sacrifice' ((Matthew Herbert's Pins And Needles Mix) edit)
'Mutual Core' (These New Puritans Remix featuring Soloman Is. Song)
'Hollow' (16-bit Remix)
'Mutual Core' (Matthew Herbert's "Teutonic Plates" Mix)
'Thunderbolt' (Death Grips Remix)
'Dark Matter' (Alva Noto Remodel)
'Thunderbolt' (Omar Souleyman Remix)
'Solstice' (Current Value Remix)
'Moon' (The Slips Remix)
'Crystalline' (Matthew Herbert Remix)

Take a trip back to the blossoming days of the Paris fashion scene with the Nicole Trunfio Fashion Gone Rogue photoset, shot exclusively for the online fashion magazine. Gianluca Santoro gets behind the lens in this fantastic French-themed series, appropriately named 'La Rive Gauche.'
Wearing retro-inspired items from top designers like Yves Saint Laurent and Prada, Trunfio is transformed by Rossana Passalacqua and hair stylist Franco Argento into a true 1940s Parisian fashionista. As a huge fan of the infamous French singer Edith Piaf, I can't help but be reminded of Marion Cotillard's looks in the 2007 'La Vie en Rose' film when looking through these gorgeous shots.
Though you may not have lived through the early years of hip French fashion, there's no denying these Nicole Trunfio Fashion Gone Rogue photos are some of the hottest of the fall 2011 season.

In the spirit of polygamy drama ''Big Love,'' there are a LOT of promising series we're itching to see -- like spacy Paula and ''Flash Gordon,'' ''Mad Men'' and ''My Boys,'' and the returns of David Duchovny and Glenn Close
15. BIG BROTHER (CBS, 2000-present)
July start date TBA · Time TBA · CBS
The eighth installment of CBS' peekaboo playground will have trouble topping last year's unforgettable All-Stars, with curvy Janelle and the cunning Dr. Will. ''They were some of the best reality contestants out there,'' says exec producer Allison Grodner. So are there major changes in the works to keep things fresh? Well...no. ''Then it wouldn't be Big Brother,'' says Grodner. Expect the return of Julie Chen, the golden veto, twists like last year's sleep-deprivation graveyard, and more of that disgusting, lumpy gruel.

New York's Senate Republican leader says he believes Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino will run for governor and that incumbent Gov. Andrew Cuomo is vulnerable.
Sen. Dean Skelos says he believes Astorino will be their party's candidate and he appears to also have Conservative Party support.
The Long Island Republican also says Monday he isn't sure businessman and celebrity Donald Trump is serious about running, as Trump has suggested.
Running statewide for governor is "a huge task" and between Trump's television shows and other interests, he may be unable to devote the time.
Asked whether he thinks incumbent Democrat Cuomo is vulnerable, Skelos says that's true of everybody in politics and government.
The "Astorino for Governor" campaign committee was registered with the state Board of Elections last week.

If you're looking for evidence of how poorly our existing immigration policy stymies America's new tech economy, look no further than NPR. In a segment today, the station highlights the case of Andrew Nicol, a young Australian entrepreneur who attended law school in the U.S.
Mr. Nicol got an employer-sponsored visa after graduating that allowed him to stay and work in New York. But when he caught that infectious case of start-up fever going around town, and wanted to quit his job and start his own company, immigration policy got in the way. No corporate law job, no visa.
Instead, Mr. Nichol ended up taking advantage of a government-sponsored program in Chile called Start-Up Chile, that bestows would-be founders with both entrepreneurs visa and $40,000 to start their companies. NPR doesn't name or describe Mr. Nicol's start-up, but according to a Start-Up Chile Meetup page, it looks like he's the founder of EveryRack. The description of the company via Google search results says, "We select the best sales, discounts and closeouts at New York retail stores and share them with you," although EveryRack's website points to a larger market, saying, "We find the best sales in local retail stores and share them with you in our free weekly newsletter."
Mr. Nicol told NPR:
"I'm basically leaving New York to come to Santiago to start a business that targets New York consumers — just because it's so much easier to do it from here, and there is so much more support from the government here."
Your move, D.C. Mayor Bloomberg can't do this on his own . . .
What guarantee that a foreign entrepreneur will succeed enough to even create any jobs that will employ Americans? This is very risky business. Most entrepreneurs fail!!!
America absorbs more immigrants than any other nation. It's time to let countries like Chile take up the mantle while we look toward stabilizing our very high population growth (p.s. we are already the 3rd most populous nation trailing China and India.).

The Composers
(Joseph) Anton Bruckner
One of the leading composers of the late nineteenth century, Bruckner's reputation rests mainly on his symphonies and sacred choral works, though for much of his life, he was better known for his virtuoso abilities on the organ. An enigmatic, solitary figure with a deep religious faith, Bruckner's music, founded on the formal traditions of Beethoven and Schubert coloured with the harmony and orchestration of Wagner, influenced the younger generation of Mahler and Richard Strauss.
Born the son of a schoolteacher in Ansfelden, near Linz, on 4 September 1824, Bruckner's early musical education was primarily undertaken by the Augustian monastery of St. Florian. Here he was introduced to the Viennese classics and developed considerable skill as an organist.
After undertaking teacher-training courses in 1840-1, Bruckner spent several years as a village schoolteacher, during which time he continued his musical studies. He returned to St. Florian in 1845 as assistant schoolteacher and remained there for ten years, also becoming a singing instructor in 1849.
By now a virtuoso organist and showing signs in his compositions of future greatness, he applied for the post of cathedral organist at Linz, taking up the position on Christmas Eve 1856.
Yet he still continued his education, beginning in 1855 a long period of study with theorist Simon Sechter that was eventually completed in 1861, and studying form and orchestration with Otto Kitzler. His training now complete, Bruckner began numbering his masses and symphonies, which were now mature works of high quality.
It was Kitzler who introduced Bruckner to Wagner and stimulated a lifelong admiration of the composer who Bruckner referred to as the 'Meister aller Meister'. Bruckner attended every premiere of Wagner's operas from Tristan und Isolde onwards.
Bruckner's personal life was not particularly happy at Linz. His mother died and several romantic attachments ended in failure. He had a marriage proposal refused and remained a bachelor for the rest of his life, though always painfully aware of his loneliness. In 1867 he also suffered a nervous breakdown through overwork, prompting him to seek a new position elsewhere.
In October 1868 he assumed duties as professor of harmony and counterpoint at the Vienna Conservatory, an institution he would remain connected to until his retirement in 1891. Anxiety over his financial security probably prompted him to take on two other posts as well: lecturer at the University of Vienna from 1875, and piano instructor at St. Anna's teacher-training college for women from 1870-74.
By 1870 his international reputation as a virtuoso organist was firmly established and he turned his attention to the composition of symphonies. Bruckner's admiration for Wagner was, unfortunately, causing ripples that adversely affected the reception of his early symphonies, and the composer suffered a number of setbacks. Perhaps as a result he became preoccupied with revising his earlier works in the late 1870s.
By the mid 1880s, however, Bruckner's works were becoming better known in the context of an expanding Viennese Wagnerian movement. Awards, including an honorary doctorate from Vienna University, began to come his way and his works, particularly the 7th Symphony, were met with enthusiasm.
His final few years were marked by a desire to complete the 9th Symphony, begun in 1887, and by a series of debilitating illnesses. He finished all the movements of the symphony apart from the finale, which he was still struggling to complete when he died on 11 October 1896.
Although suffering for a while from its later associations with Hitler's Third Reich (Bruckner was one of Hitler's favourite composers), Bruckner's music by the 1970s had entered the repertoire of every major orchestra and choral society. Its popularity with audiences continues to rise and Bruckner is now finally recognised as one of the most innovative and influential musical figures of the late nineteenth century.

Of all the OPI polishes I've tried so far, this has got to be my favorite! It looks sparkly and reddish purple in the bottle, and the color translated well onto my nails and retained a subtle sparkle. LOVE it!
I usually only wear light sheer colors on my fingers, but once in a while I get the urge for some dark color in the winter. This color looks a lot less purple and a lot less sparkly on my fingers than it does in the bottle which is a good thing since I am not into purple or sparkles. I picked it because my manicurist said it looked really pretty on. It is quite dark and quite shiny without being sparkly. My skin is pretty light with yellowish undertones and this color compliments it nicely. I am hoping that it has some staying power. I am looking forward to getting my pedicure with this color. I think it will be a great toe color.
More reviews by PixelDustDreams
I'm a blue eyed blonde and I keep a pretty good tan up about 75% of the time. And I'm not really into "vampy" colors, because I feel like I just can't pull them off. I only put color on my toes, nails are french acryllics. But tomorrow is New Years Eve, and I wanted a sexy pretty color and like most women, wear colors that fit the season. It was gorgeous in the bottle, loved the red microshimmer... got it on my toes tonight, and it is very pretty! I have Russian Navy, and while that's a very pretty color too, it's too vampy for me, too "cool toned" - this is almost as dark, but warmer and I can pull it off. I wish there was more of a shimmer to it though, because I LOVE how it looks in the bottle in the sun. BUT... It is very pretty on my toes. VERY glossy, and just looking down at my toes, without being in the sunlight, I can tell there's a deep black cherry tone to it, even though the shimmer doesn't show through well without direct light. I usually wear all shades of shimmery reds/wines during the winter that are very similar to Bogata Blackberry and I'm not really a waitress, and this is a nice change. I'm not sure I'll run out, but if I do, I would repurchase.
This color is ok. Once on, it's a deep reddish burgundy..I can't really see the shimmer unless I hold the bottle up to my face. Although pretty, there are about a gazillion colors out there that rival this, and I can't say it's unique or unusual. Just Walk Away Renee by Lippmann, and Black Wine by Estee Lauder are just a few. I guess the selling point is that it's much cheaper then either of these, especially on sale. I found I needed three coats to get rid of the streaky finish, but once dried, it does look wet and is attractive.

I just picked this up as part of the Buy 2 Get 2 sale at Ulta. I have wanted to try this color for a while, but was always a little frightened of putting such a dark color against my pale skin. How could I have waited so long to grab this color? It looks great next to my fair skin; vampy but not goth at all. I don't even feel odd wearing it to the office.
This color is a gorgeous deep, deep red with a red shine to this color. It does look a very deep purple/black from a distance, but not when you are wearing this or someone is close to you. I used Seche Vite as a top coat and this color seemed to light up from within with the added shine. When I had this on I could not stop starting at my fingers.
The color wore very well, but I did notice a bit of tip wear after a day or two. (I do type a lot at work, so this is a very common problem for me.) I change my polish every two or three days, so I can't comment on the wear time without chipping, but no chips at all the three work days I had this on. I love the pro-wide brush and do not have any difficulty using this to apply this product. If I do run out of this, I will repurchase.

My aunt got a bottle of this polish and when i got home I realize that i got a nail polish really similar to this - New york color in cognac sparkle. It looks just like this OPI NP. I used the OPI for a pedicure and it lasted for about 5 days without top or base coat before it wear off. The color is a deep plum- very vampy as others would describe. I personally would not purchase this because i already found a dupe and the new york color one has great quality for a quarter of the price. Both goes on smoothly without streaking and drying rate is about the same. I cant even tell the difference between the two
Hello bottle of *gorgeousness*!! OPI Black Cherry Chutney had me the second I saw the bottle. I've always been a pale/sheer tip kind of girl... this was one of the first "vampy" colors I actually put on tips, and it was *pure* love from the first nail. This is rich and stunning both on it's own, or layered over a deep cream like LPAD. As the name would imply, BCC is a deep vampy blackened plum with red microshimmer. Wears and applies beautifully and is a great shade for fall and winter months. total love for this beauty!!
I had low expectations for this color. I got it for free, and while I love dark vampy purples, I hate reds and burgundies. I finally got around to trying it, and when I did I loved it. Far off it's a deep espresso color, but up close its black with dark red shimmer. Gorgeous. With Seche Vite on top, it was so shiny i could see my reflection. It really stood out against my skin. I knocked it for packaging because the brush was horrible, too wide and at an angle. Unusual for OPI.
This nail polish is gorgeous! You need about 3 coats to get it opaque, but once you do you can't stop looking at it. It's a dark dark red with tiny red shimmer, it is glossy and shiny. I love this polish, another winner for OPI. I agree that it does look black from far away, but I know it's dark, vampy red so that's all that matters. This should be a staple for red/black lovers.

Where were you on 72? What Girl Talk SHOULD sound like.
Yes it's finally here – 72, the pass-the-parcel mashup project, inspired by our very own Boot in 60 Seconds has reached 72 minutes and is thus finished!
This is basically what Girl Talk SHOULD sound like, done by people who actually understand mashups rather than spending more time on their haircut. Cue Girl Talk lovin' haterz Bring it on! Anyway 72 has the same sort of 30 seconds-and-it's-gone hyper-ritalin ADD and 'remember this?' nostalgia silliness and madness, but most of it by and large works far better than 99.999% of mixes in this genre.
Includes remixage from:
Lee Spoons, Instamatic (tis me!), World Famous Audio Hacker, Celebrity Murder Party, Eddie Pedalo, pomDeter, Irn Mnky, RadioFace, JamieCG74, GaraGara and MadMixMustang.
Each mashup artist had 72 hours to complete their section, and it features contributions by yours truly. Go give it love over at GYBO or download it here. Thanks to 10000 Spoons for hosting, Pomdeter for the idea and great artwork and Pom and Eddie Peddlecar for mix-wrangling and organising a great project!

Marinate for Salmon or Lake Trout
Here is a great recipe that my mother uses when making fresh salmon or lake trout.
First you need the following ingredients:
- ½ c.butter
- ¼ c.soy sauce
- ¼ c.Worchiser sauce
- ¼ c. chili sauce
- 1Tablespoon mustard (any kind-brown or yellow)
- 1 clove garlic minced
Bring the above ingredients to a boil. Remove your mixture from heat and let cool. *Do not cool in refrigerator. Pour your mixture over fish and let marinate at least 3 hours. Grill on high with the skin down. *Do not flip the fish.
Fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork. The skin of the fish will remain on the grill when filets are removed.

TUCSON - The 4th Avenue Winter Street Fair began today at 10 a.m. and runs through the weekend.
This year, there will be over 400 artists' booths, 35 food vendors and two complete stages featuring local performances . Not to mention an art pavilion for kids, flight simulators, rock climbing, face painting, chair massages, and "everything and anything you can imagine," according to the fair's website.
The Street Fair takes place along 4th Avenue between 9th Street and University Boulevard, and is free to the public. The Fourth Avenue Street Fair began in 1970, and today draws crowds of 200,000 to 350,000, ranking it as one of the top visual arts fairs in country, the website says.
For directions to the fair, click here.
Take care when parking, though - City of Tucson Parking Enforcement Officers will be on the lookout for parking violations. This includes cars parked in red-painted curbs, within 5 feet of driveways, and in marked fire lanes.
According to the website: "Neighborhood Parking Permits in the area from Speedway South to 10th Street and Stone Avenue East to Euclid Avenue are not enforced during the three days of the Fair."
Click here for a map of the Street Fair boundries.
A free shuttle will also be taking people from Downtown Tucson to the fair - all metered street parking Downtown is free on Saturday and Sunday. The shuttle goes to the Pennington Street parking garage - click here for directions there.
You can also park at one of the U of A parking garages and take the Old Pueblo Trolley from Main Gate Square to the fair. Click here for a map of the trolly's route.
Of course, you can always ride your bike to the fair, and those who do can enjoy a free bicycle valet and parking area. Click here for the Valet Bike Parking map.
Keep in mind that animals will NOT be allowed at the fair this year, and anyone who brings an animal could be subject to a $250 fine.
Whether you come for the art, the food, or the atmosphere, this weekend is forecasted to have perfect Street Fair weather. Click here to visit the News 4 Weather Center for a complete forecast.

Halloween 2012: Our last pumpkin patch trip as a family?
Kevin Hunsperger
@kevinhunsperger & @my12cents on Twitter
I knew this day would come. After all, when I was in 7th, I made it my last year to go trick or treating until I was a senior and high school and it was somehow "cool" again. But our two oldest kids, ages 13 and 12 have opted out of Halloween fun this year. Kinda.
Our oldest (8th grade) will be marching with the junior high and high school marching band in our small town's Halloween parade. Traditionally, students wear some kind of Halloween garb as they make their way down the street playing haunting tunes before the official start of trick or treating. Our 12 year old, who is in 7th grade, didn't trick or treat last year, after we bought him a $50 costume because he made the basketball team and had a tournament that night.
Pumpkin Patch 2013
I can accept that our sons are too old to trick or treat. But recently I announced that I'd be heading to the pumpkin patch with their little sister (age 8), and was told by the boys they had no interest in going. Going to the pumpkin patch has become one my favorite fall past times, and this was the first year that we didn't do it as a family. My daughter and I made it a Daddy-Daughter Day and picked out a variety of gourds. My hope is that when we start carving them up later this week, the boys will want to be in on the design work, but I'm not holding my breath.
Pumpkin Patch 2005
I think my daughter knew I was missing the boys being out there with us and when we got into the car and started driving home she said, "Don't worry Daddy, I'll always come to the pumpkin patch with you." It melted my heart and made me feel about 10 feet tall, but in the back of my mind I knew instantly that her sentiments will eventually change too. It's all a part of growing up I suppose.
I'm still a big kid at heart. I love decorating the house for Halloween. I love dressing up in a costume. I love taking the kids trick or treating.
Pumpkin patch 2009
I'm the same about Christmas. It killed me when the boys finally figured things out and stopped believing. They've kept the legend of Santa alive for their sister, who I know is just a year or two away from figuring it out for herself too, but that's a blog for another day.
Long story short, I know we all get older. Kids don't find the things cool they did when they were little now that they're teenagers. Blah, blah, blah. It's a part of life, but I don't have to like it. I just hope their memories of the pumpkin patches, the jack-o-lanterns, and costumes stick with them like they've stuck with me. Okay, pity party over, time for a candy apple.

Reebok has come up with a pretty unforgivable concept for a new collection of sneakers. The "Seven Deadly Sins" line is a new rendition for the classic Omni Pump Lites.
Reebok has take an original design and coated it with one sold color (each one representing a sin) and branded the front of the shoe with the corresponding sin.
The seven deadly sins are greed, sloth, wrath, pride, gluttony, envy, and lust (the lust shoe doesn't exist). The colors (in matching order) for the shoes are yellow, blue, red, purple, orange, and light green (since lust doesn't exist).

How would you describe your music?
All things HOUSE… Nu-Disco, Deep, Soulful, Funky and Big Room.
What is your trademark? What do people know you for?
I would say people know me for my association with SHE (Soulful House Experience) and also my residency at Argyle, which is now well into its 6th year. Also being one of the first Australian DJ's to play at Hugh Hefner's infamous Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles.
When you're not a DJ, what do you do with your time?
Wearing fine italian suits, lunches at expensive restaruants and driving my fancy sports car. You guessed it… Property.
What's on the cards for you in the next couple of months?
After returning from shows in Mykonos, Ibiza, Los Angeles and Vegas, studio work has now been scheduled for the next few months and I will be working with some of the best Australian and International artists.
What is the ultimate sign that you have made it in the music industry?
When you reach 100,000+ Twitter followers.
If you could choose any festival in the world to headline which one would it be?
Coachella (California, USA).
What do you think is happening in terms of trends in the music scene?
Due to its recent US popularity, EDM has now become a household genre. I predict an edgier, deeper, quality house sound will make its way back to Sydney's dancefloors over the next few years.
Why do you like playing at The Argyle?
The music policy, friendly crowd, amazing drinks and a unique vibe… Always quality.
What track/s would you play to suit the mood of:
a) An early summer's afternoon/evening
"So Far" (Original Mix) Miguel Migs
b) Main set on a Friday or Saturday night
"Balla Concetta" (Original Club Mix) Sarah Main
Tell us some quirky facts about yourself.
I have a low tolerance for being called "champ", have a serious addiction to late night pizza, and absolutley love Dr Karl Kruszelnicki's program on Triple J.

Love this mascara!
By jai
from St. John's, NL
I've only recently started wearing mascara regularly because I couldn't find any that I liked until I tried this. It makes my lashes look thicker and longer with no clumping. I do apply a coat of a different mascara afterwards just to get my lashes looking shinier and darker, I find this one just isn't black enough on its own. But as much as I love it, I don't think I'll bother paying full price for it.
By Putri
from BC
Very disappointed with this mascara. It takes too long to dry and does not extend lashes as claimed. Have to keep wiping off skin after application. Too messy for me. Over the counter mascara for less works better
Totally Unacceptable Mascara
By GEORGINA
from OSHAWA
Sorry Dimitri but this product is a flop. The wand extracts from the case full of glumpy wads of mascara. Impossible to use. More than tarantula eyelashes. I gave it multiple tries but there is just no way to get the wand to come out of the container without big glops of product. Big flop. Waste of money. Would never recommend.
Skinn Luxe Mascara

Do not like this mascara due to it having "dried" clumps on the brush when I go to take it out to use it.

Pretty Good mascara
By CATHERINE
from TORONTO
I've gotten this mascara in a kit a few times and like it. It does not bother my eyes, nor flake off, which I often get from alot of other brands (racoon eyes!!). It is not a super lengthening type of mascara; it looks natural though, and I think it's a great price for the quality.
Increadably lengthening and thickening
By ce
from hanwell NB
My lashes looked like false lashes. Wow. Great. So good I don't wear everyday, it's too much increadable lashes for me. At least at first. Then I got comfortable with the doll eye look and all the compilemtents so now I use daily, bombshell! I did not notice any irritation like someone mentioned. I love this! Thanks D.

Not for sensitive eyes
By Miss Kelly
from EDMONTON
Applied nicely, did not lengthen very much and my eyes reacted badly to the product. Made my eyes water and I had it rubbed off by noon.

No go second time around!!!
By TRACEY
from CALGARY
I love all the SKINN care products except for this one! It leaves the edges of my eyes sore and irritated and within minutes of applying it, I have to remove it. I pray that Demitri doesn't do away with the other one (Luxe Premier Mascara #399-080) that doesn't irritate my eyes and I can wear for hours without having problems.

"These cupcakes turned out amazingly moist and had a wonderful chocolate fudge flavor. I bake a lot and this is the best chocolate cupcake recipe I have ever made. The kids even liked them without icing. Could easily just dust them with powder sugar instead of ice them. I am going to top them with a peppermint buttercream icing. Easy to make and..."

2010 Surveillance Slides
Slide 26. Mode of Treatment Administration in Persons Reported with TB, United States, 1993–2008. In 1993, the reporting areas began providing information about mode of treatment administration on the individual TB case report form. Treatment administered as only directly observed therapy (DOT) increased from 21.7% in 1993 to 56.5% in 2008, the latest year with available data. There was also an increase in the proportion of patients who received at least some portion of their treatment as DOT (based on combining the percentage of patients who received only DOT and the percentage for whom some portion was self-administered). In 2008, 89.9% of patients received at least some portion of their treatment as DOT. |

"Greetings from Shreveport" bus by unknown artist
Shreveport's art bus program was unique in that the art wraps were seen as an opportunity to promote the city and all that it had to offer. Winning submissions were successful in highlighting elements of either Shreveport's cultural arts or its southern charm and character. While this did dictate the subject matter of the work, artists could interpret the themes creatively in their personal styles. In these regards, these moving murals of art and design doubled as advertisements for the city of Shreveport.
The first buses were painted in 1999. The charge first came from Mayor Keith Hightower when he suggested SporTran use the buses as a blank canvas for a "quality of life endeavor" instead of as a medium for advertising. The Shreveport Regional Arts Council (SRAC), SporTran and the city shared the responsibility of jurying, funding, and producing the painted buses.
New bus designs were released each year in late-summer, with four or five new designs painted directly on the buses at a cost of about $5,000 to $6,000 per bus, including a $1500 artist honorarium. The program ran for six years total. By the last years of the program, a 3M wrapping material was being utilized for about 75% of each bus design. While a painted bus would have a lifespan of 3-4 years with costly maintenance, the wraps, which were more durable and did not fade, would last until they were removed.
Rolie Polie Olie bus by William Joyce
Approximately 20-25 bus designs have been created through this program. Fifteen painted or wrapped buses are still around, with a majority still in service. Ten of those art buses are completely painted and four are completely wrapped. Each bus design was also immortalized through postcards.
The buses have been widely popular with the community and have given SporTran a good deal of positive publicity. They have become a part of the community and the city's landscape. In some form, the art buses have changed peoples' perception of bus transit from 23,000 pound liabilities to unique venues for art. Along the same lines, they have also made taking transit a little more equitable, because people see the buses as more than a last resort to get from here to there. Taking transit is now a bit exciting, because people do not know which bus they will get.
Shreveport's program playfully redefined what a bus should look like, and, in doing so, created lasting reflections of their city and changed residents' perception of transit.
Special thanks to Gene Eddy, Director of SporTran, Pam Atchison, Executive Director of SRAC, and Monica Leap of UNC-Chapel Hill for assistance with this profile.

Last year's list was full of promise, but I only got to see 4 of the 21 listed films in the theater. I've since brought the total up to 11 with the help of DVDs. I hope to catch the 12th (Voyage of the Dawn Treader) on DVD next week. I'm still annoyed that I missed that one.

Generic Viagra will hit the market more than two years earlier than expected under a settlement reached by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (TEVA:US) and Pfizer Inc. (PFE:US), the maker of the impotence drug.
Teva can enter the market on Dec. 11, 2017, and will pay patent royalties through the expiration of the Viagra patent in April 2020, New York-based Pfizer said in a statement. Other terms weren't disclosed.
Viagra, whose chemical name is sildenafil citrate, is one of Pfizer's best-known medicines. The drug generated sales of $2.05 billion in 2012, its best year ever. Pfizer earlier this year began selling the blue pill through a company-sponsored website to combat counterfeit versions sold online.
The medicine came from a group of compounds considered during research to treat high blood pressure and angina. The assistance with erectile dysfunction was a side effect discovered during testing, and patent 6,469,012, issued in 2002, is for use of the compound to treat impotence.
Some aspects of the patent were earlier rejected in 2010 because it was similar to a Chinese herb known as Horny Goat Weed. Teva, based in Petach Tikva, Israel, lost its bid to invalidate the rest of the patent at trial and was appealing the case. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit dismissed the appeals yesterday.

Apple Fails to Prevent 'DriPhone' Registration in New Zealand
Apple Inc. (AAPL:US), maker of the iPhone and the iPod, lost a New Zealand trademark fight with a maker of waterproof cases for mobile phones, the New Zealand Herald reported.
The Cupertino, California-based company opposed an application by DriPhone, of Hamilton, New Zealand, to register its company name as a trademark, according to the newspaper.
Apple claimed that the public would be confused and assume, falsely, that the California company was the source of products with the DriPhone name, according to the Herald.
Hayden Crowther, director of DriPhone, argued successfully that the trademark is readily distinguishable from Apple's iPhone mark, and was awarded NZ$2,950 ($2,437), the Herald reported.
KBC Wins Authorization to Use 'Kinnitty Castle' Irish Trademark
KBC Groep NV (KBC), the biggest bank in Belgium, will be able to use the Kinnitty Castle trademark for a hotel in Ireland's County Offaly, Ireland's High Court ruled, according to the Irish Times.
Cornelius Ryan, the hotel's owner, claimed that he owned the mark and originated the identity of the castle hotel, which is being operated by a bank-appointed received, the newspaper reported.
KBC appointed a receiver in 2008 and claims that Ryan owes 5 million euros ($6.89 million) on the property, according to the Times.
The court rejected Ryan's request for an order barring the receiver and KBC from continuing to call the hotel property Kinnitty Castle, the Times reported.
Huawei Seeks to Register 'PhoPad' as Trademark for Mobile Phones
Huawei Technologies Co., China's largest maker of phone network equipment, applied to register "PhoPad" as a trademark, according to the database of the U.S. Patent and Trademark office.
The company, which is waging a patent fight with Interdigital Inc. over mobile-phone technology, said it will use the mark with mobile phones, tablet computers and protective cases for phones and tablets.
The Shenzen, China-based company filed its application Dec. 2.

Chevron Accuses Ecuador of Misusing Copyright as Censorship
Chevron Corp. (CVX:US), the oil company being sued by Ecuadorean farmers over alleged environmental damage near oil wells in the Amazon rain forest, said the government of Ecuador is misusing copyright law to censor the company's videos on Google Inc.'s YouTube video-sharing website.
In a posting on Chevron's Amazon Post blog, the company said that its videos are presently down following copyright claims made by Ares Rights of Spain.
Chevron claims that Ares Rights is working on behalf of the government of Ecuador to censor negative messages and video content.
"When material placed on the Internet is perceived to be anti-government, Ares sends a letter to sites like YouTube, Google Scribd and Vimeo claiming it affects copyrights of one of its clients in an attempt to get the material removed by the hosting site," Chevron said on the blog.
The San Ramon, California-based oil company said copyrights for the content that is allegedly infringed by its videos doesn't belong to the clients on whose behalf Ares Rights is making the claim.
El Comercio and El Universo -- news outlets in Ecuador -- have raised questions about Ares Rights' possible role in censoring Internet content, according to the posting.
The Court of Appeal for Ontario ruled yesterday that the 47 villagers have the right to pursue Chevron's Canada assets. It reverses a ruling made on May 1 that stated the company didn't have any assets in Canada.
A court in Ecuador in 2011 found the company liable for about three decades of soil and water pollution near oil wells that ruined the health and livelihoods of Amazon rain forest dwellers. Since then, Ecuadorean farmers and fishermen have been trying to collect $19 billion in environmental damages from Chevron.
The Canadian judges said in the ruling that a Chevron spokesman had said: "We're going to fight this until hell freezes over. And then we'll fight it out on the ice."
Chevron's wish is granted, the judges said.
"After all these years, the Ecuadorean plaintiffs deserve to have recognition and enforcement of the Ecuadorean judgment heard on the merits in an appropriate jurisdiction. At this juncture, Ontario is that jurisdiction," according to the ruling.
Chevron has said it will appeal the decision.
The case is Yaiguaje v. Chevron Corp., C57019, Court of Appeal for Ontario (Toronto)

VIA Says It Filed Trade-Secrets Suit in Taiwan Against Asustek
VIA Technologies Inc. (2388), a Taiwanese maker of chipsets for computer motherboards, said it filed a lawsuit in Taipei District Court seeking more than $138 million in damages from Taipei-based Asustek Computer Inc. (2357)
The suit followed a decision by the Taiwan prosecutor to file criminal trade secret charges against Asustek's Asmedia Technology unit and four of its employees, according to a company statement.
A former VIA employee left in 2007 to join Asmedia, taking VIA employees and intellectual property related to USB technology, according to the complaint.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Licorice!
Facts about Licorice
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black (Mostly)
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Licorice's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Licorice is a 5 m old female, adorable, playful and full of affection. She has a beautiful striped undercoat and just a touch of white under her chin. She LOVES people. She will follow you around wherever you go. She is very easy going and loves other cats. She would make a wonderful addition to any home!
Other Pets at Cat Network of Stanislaus
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Licorice, a Modesto Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Modesto, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Modesto.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Modesto already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Modesto breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Modesto paves the way for another one to be saved.

Societies and cultures, composed of course of living human beings, share many of the characteristics of living organisms. Marxist theorists have long been keenly aware of this, with their often unwitting disciples and acolytes ruthlessly wielding the considerable analytic power of the theory within the institutions of Western society for the past fifty years. The picture is of a burgeoning army of doctors given their license to practice their craft after passing Gross Human Anatomy, but ignorant of both physiology and the mechanisms of homeostasis required of any living organism to both survive and enjoy good health. Without an understanding of both the concepts and mechanisms of homeostasis, it is impossible to accurately characterize diseases and disorders or to provide effective treatment. We do not have doctors and nurses as policy makers, social workers, and so forth. We have eager little vivisectionists acting in the name of "social justice."
Taking the analogy further, we can look at immigrants to a country as "allografts" or partially-differentiated "stem cells" trying to integrate within a new societal organism. Some will integrate well and contribute an increased strength and vitality to a society while others may atrophy, become gangrenous, and even malignant with negative overall effects on its health. Some often say that those who belong to a particular religious group such as Islam have an inherent capacity toward malignancy. Experience has taught me not to make such a categorical judgement, although the trend is real and it is troubling. Denying the reality of this trend is not at all helpful as is the case with a simplistic, categorical over-reaction. While both options may satisfy short-term emotional needs, they eschew thought, consideration, and analysis, and therefore truly rational action.
On the other side of the equation, the recipient of these grafts, Western society, is collectively lying on the gurney with a raging fever and in bad need of examination, understanding of the underlying etiology, diagnosis, and treatment. Since it is clear that the Gramscian virus has largely co-opted the power, resources, and authority of government--which is supposed to safeguard the function of a society--a good analogy might be with a recipient suffering from a chronic and increasingly severe autoimmune disorder. Such disorders are generally of a systemic nature, difficult to diagnose, and harder to treat. Our society's antibodies, the memes and ideas meant to protect and strengthen the societal organism are now mutated by Marxist retroviruses and directed against its own tissues, organs, and systems. "Self" in the eyes of these agents has now become "Non-Self", to be attacked and destroyed.
Given that the cultural institutions that function to provide stability and resiliency for individuals within a culture are being increasingly undermined, individuals trying to integrate themselves within societal tissues and organs will gravitate toward the best available sources of support. Those sources used to be parents, churches, synagogues, neighbors, relatives, close and longstanding networks of friends, and social organizations such as Boy Scouts. Most of all, America, always a nation of immigrants, has had a national identity that was unique in the world, "E pluribus unum"--"out of many, one." Regardless of national, ethnic, or religious background, there was a common set of norms and values that defined us, individually and collectively, as Americans.
But as individuals within a society become increasingly atomized and isolated at younger and younger ages, they become more receptive and vulnerable to various "malignant" influences, gravitating towards something that in some way fills the need for sustenance and support, and becomes co-opted by it and integrated into a growing tumor or mass of necrotic tissue. This is the process of radicalization. Regardless of whether that meme is one of Islamic Jihad, gang affiliation, or hardcore Marxism, the processes of radicalism are the same and are clearly identifiable. For subsequent analysis, I will base my arguments on those of Marc Sageman in his books "Understanding Terror Networks" and "Leaderless Jihad," where the looks at these in detail within the context of al Qaeda and its evolution.
This is not to absolve the blame for the attacks by the Tsarnayev brothers, but one must wonder if the systematic and intentional destruction of "repressive" cultural institutions by the Left over the past 50 years has now weakened Western society to the degree where it has not only become more vulnerable to internal jihad, but has fostered the conditions for explosive growth of such an opportunistic cultural infection. It is left to us, dedicated to health, prosperity, and perpetuation of the best of Western society, to not only fight this at the cultural level but implement sustainable supportive strategies to fight the full range of afflictions, restore societal homeostasis, and go on stronger and better than before. What are the effective "antibodies," and how do we ensure that they are guided against the right targets?

I hope someone can enlighten me as to what I'm dealing with here. I've been finding many plants falling victim to a black fuzzy caterpillar. I've never had this type of infestation before. So far I've had it on my gazanias and a clump of 'Silver Brocade' Artemesia. But it doesn't seem to be selective as other plants in the border are affected. At first I just noticed the leaves folding up and containing a big black mass of excrement. On closer inspection I found the caterpillar. So far I've hand picked and squished followed by an overall spray of BTK. Any ideas about what this creature is? Gazanias are turning out to not being a great choice for me. Last year they were the chosen food for the rabbit, and this year the gross caterpillar. Also they don't open on cloudy days, so I shouldn't have given them such a prominent location! Marie |

Remember all those Painted Lady Butterflies we all noticed early June, I have a funny feeling these might be the caterpillars... Artemisia and Hollyhocks are some host plants. I'll take a photo tomorrow to verify ;) Sharon |
Here is a link that might be useful: Painted Lady Caterpillar
I found a butterfly just emerging from a chrysalis on Saturday. It is right near my bur oak tree, which apparently, is one of the foodsources for this butterfly. For some reason, the picture won't upload to photobucket. I even reduced it down and no go. Anyway, does the caterpillar look like the ones in this link? I haven't found any caterpillars, yet, but I will look tomorrow. Shauna |
Here is a link that might be useful: Mourningcloak butterfly
You are probably right, Sharon. The Mourningcloak caterpillar tends to attack more shrubs and tree species. Sounds like the Painted Ladies tend to go toward the ornamentals like your hollyhocks and gazanias, etc. And we certainly had a high number of painted ladies this year. Shauna |
Well now I feel bad about killing what may have been the painted lady caterpillar. I guess I should have posted first and killed later. I didn't even think about such an ugly thing being anything desirable. Hopefully a few missed my killing spree. But I've seen lots of painted lady butterflies in past years and have never seen so much damage on such a variety of plants. Marie |

I have them too-all over my teddy bear sunflowers, hollyhocks and globe thistle! I sprayed some insecticide before knowing what they were but actually it didn't seem to do much harm to them anyway. Hopefully they won't affect the plants blooming. |

For sure, the caterpillars that are eating my Hollyhocks are Painted Ladies.....oh well, they're just Hollyhocks, I'm not too worried about the damaged they are causing.

Lake Effect Ice Cream moves to Canal Street
BY: Rikki Cason | December 01, 2012
Lake Effect Ice Cream will have a new home in Lockport next season.
The City of Lockport Common Council approved a proposal Wednesday for the purchase of 79-81 Canal Street.
This location, less than a block away from their current 20 Lock St. store, will offer additional space and a better spot for local and tourist traffic.
The proposal submitted Nov. 15, was for $50,000, and would purchase the city property that was currently leased by the Greater Lockport Development Corporation.
Owner Jason Wulf said he and co-owner Erik Bernardi have a goal of opening the store by the start of next season — March or April.
"It's definitely a larger space," said Wulf.
Wulf said there is still a lot of work to do inside, but once complete there will be a large area for indoor seating, which would allow them to have extended hours in the future. The other part of the building will be used to make, display and scoop the ice cream.
They are also happy to finally own their own property for the shop.
The Canal Street location will also be a prime spot to attract Erie Canal traffic, visitors of the Lockport Underground Cave and Boat Ride, along with tourists visiting the Discovery Center and other Lockport highlights.
There is also a lot of outdoor seating around the building, perfect for summer weather.
No definite plans have been made on future hours, but Wulf said though they might still close during winter months, having an indoor location, versus their current outdoor pickup window, will allow them to potentially be open during the holiday season, serving Christmas flavors and desserts.
Lake Effect Ice Cream first began in 2008, after longtime friends and neighbors Wulf and Bernardi started to experiment with various ice cream flavors. They began attending fairs and festivals in the area and in 2009, made the switch to a full-time business.
The ice cream can be found in various locations across Western New York, including shops in Buffalo, North Tonawanda, Cheektowaga, Medina, Depew and Amherst. Lake Effect Ice Cream is also available in Lockport Tops and Niagara Produce.
Heading into their fifth year on March 4, the two have created more than 50 plus flavors, including favorites like Salty Caramel, Cinnamon Toast, Peanut Butter Epiphany, Big Wayne's Cake Batter, Loganberry and Frozen Hot Chocolate.

« December 2007 Table of Contents
The "What's for dinner?" question has been the bane of many a working parent. As the stressors of dual-income families continue to mount and their free time diminishes, many are welcoming the 1,450 meal-preparation stores that have opened across the country.
Typically, customers select meals from a list of dishes that rotates on a monthly basis. They make an appointment for a cooking session, and follow a recipe with the convenience of ingredients that have already been chopped, diced, cut and peeled. The customer brings the meals home to refrigerate or freeze for later use. The meal-center formula appeals to busy families by eliminating the need for menu planning, grocery shopping, food preparation and cleanup.
The industry has grown dramatically since the first business opened in 1999.
"In 2003 the industry took off, with the most dramatic growth occurring between 2003 and 2007," says Bert Vermeulen, founder of the Easy Meal Prep Co. in Cheyenne, Wyo.
There were approximately 1,200 meal-prep stores in the United States as of January, and the industry is anticipated to grow at a steady pace, according to the International Association of Meal Prep Businesses (IAMPB) in Oak Creek, Wis. The industry is growing so fast those numbers have been bested by one company. There were only four Easy Meal stores in 2003, with annual revenues of $7.2 million. Today, total revenue is at $370 million with 1,450 stores, and by 2010 it is expected to jump to $629 million and 2,400 stores, according to company figures.
According to Easy Meal, seafood is the fourth-most popular protein in the meal-preparation industry, after chicken, pork and beef (the IAMPB doesn't collect statistics).
"The meal preparation businesses have a tendency toward healthy eating, and seafood is an important part of that," Vermeulen says.
At The Prep Kitchen in Freeport, Maine, two out of 14 monthly menu options include seafood, with dishes such as Quick Tilapia Parmesan, Shrimp Scampi and Salmon with Orange Glaze. Seafood recipes are becoming more popular, says Wendy Wren, company owner.
"I usually have one tilapia fillet recipe and one other seafood - salmon, tuna or shrimp - each month, and my customers are becoming more comfortable with it, especially cooking tilapia because that's not a local fish. Familiarity brings confidence," she says.
The seafood dishes serve a segment of Wren's customers who don't eat chicken, beef or pork, "mainly non-vegan vegetarians," she says.
Nadine Johnson, owner of Sous Kitchen in San Carlos, Calif., agrees, though at her store seafood is as popular as other proteins. Two of the top 10 most popular dishes at the Sous Kitchen are seafood, says Johnson.
However, the cost of seafood sometimes limits Johnson's offerings. "It could be [our location] that things are more expensive," she admits. "We try to price by entrée, and if the seafood costs more than $7 per pound, I just can't offer it on my menu. We would love to offer ahi tuna steak, for example, but we can't. We haven't been able to find a local source that can give us the quality we need for the price we need to pay. So instead, we offer shrimp, tilapia, salmon, lobster, sole and cod. Most of our fish is frozen, but the salmon is fresh."
At Victoria's Kitchen in Wheaton, Ill., owner Vickie Hankes encounters the same challenge. "As much as I love fresh fish, I find it cost-prohibitive to work with, and issues with deterioration, leading to waste, leads me to use other proteins," says Hankes.
"Yes, I can purchase frozen fish fillets, but none are up to my taste and texture standards. My business is all about organic and natural products, so it can be difficult to source fresh fish with no added preservatives at an affordable price."
Marcia Hales, CEO of My Girlfriend's Kitchen, a national chain based in Salt Lake City with 43 franchises, sources most of her products through Sysco, though some of her locations use local seafood purveyors.
"We calculate food cost based on our costs in Salt Lake City," she explains. "We make a suggestion as to retail price, but each franchise location has the ability to set their own prices. Typically, our food cost runs anywhere from 35 to 40 percent, depending on the dish."
The average meal-preparation store has an ingredient cost between 40 and 45 percent of revenues, says Vermeulen. "Thus, the markup is between 2.2 and 2.5 times the wholesale food cost from the foodservice supplier. For a restaurant, the equivalent ratios are 30 to 35 percent food cost, which equals a 3 to 3.3 multiplier."
The availability of seafood in Hales' stores depends on location. "We have 14 menu items a month, and usually at least one contains shrimp or seafood," says Hales. "But based on the region and eating habits in that area, we make available a number of items for particular stores."
However, the cost of seafood makes it a challenging protein to work with, says Hales.
"We used to run a lot more salmon than we do now, but in some parts of the country it's incredibly expensive. Still, some of our stores will put it back on the menu, despite the price, because if it's really appealing, it brings customers in. So it's a double-edged sword."
My Girlfriend's Kitchen offers menu items with catchy names, such as the Savory Fisherman's Horseradish Crusted Salmon, Parmesan Tilapia On My Mind and Shrimp Alfredo on the Bayou. For cost-effectiveness, the company purchases flash-frozen seafood products like tilapia "because we've got customers asking for it. The popularity of our seafood varies by store and region, depending on the customer base they cultivate at a particular store," Hales says.
Unlike the restaurant industry, which can have substantial shrink, in the meal-preparation business there is virtually none, she says.
"Anything not purchased by the end of the week is assembled and available for people to purchase out of the freezer," Hales explains. Her company offers Web tools that allow storeowners to manage their food inventory.
The meal-preparation industry is growing, but it's barely scratched the surface, Hales insists. "There are still so many people who haven't heard of meal assembly. We're still in the infancy stage of educating the general population of what we do and how it can make their lives easier and better."
