What Causes Migraines
While the exact physiological cause of migraines is not know, there are many medical theories. Some suggest they are neurological, others are thought to be hormonal, and some possibly the result of bone allignment issues. There is also a documented genetic link.
There are several different recognized types of migraines some with aura and some without. Approximately 12-28% of the population experience migraines, and 75% of migraineurs are female.
Researchers have identified a number of known triggers that can cause migraines, although they vary from person to person:
NaturalCare Migraine has been formulated with high quality, all-natural homeopathic ingredients. Migraine works by relieving the symptoms of shooting pain and throbbing pressure.

Smellykitty's Acrylic Blob (Daily)
I love my acrylics but I work far too slow! I'm hoping I can find better ways to paint faster and render accurately. I guess I'll start with things I hate..I hate rocks so here is my first sketch. Two hours *must go down in time!*
I really hate rocks, and water..dang

this looks really nice, I like the range of colors, but I think you could play with texture a bit more, especially on the closer rocks.
keep plugging away, the more you paint the more you learn the shortcuts
November 14th, 2006 #3
thanks! I'll be sure to keep making these
November 14th, 2006 #4
The color in that is gorgeous. I agree with tiger on playing with the texture. The rocks look a little too smooth, and it makes the foreground look like its missing detail. The color range is absolutely stunning, and I like the composition. I think the rock in the middle throws the composition off just a bit, but I still like it.
November 14th, 2006 #5
my photo reference had a rock in the middle..but its rock was powerful looking. mines just a blob!
here is another one. Im still trying to learn to paint fast, while being accurate and retaining a style. this one was an hour and half and taken from a book called The Rut =3
yeah I know..lame to just take it from a photo. But I dont think I can paint from my head with this speed yet...need more practice first! so I am going to try to do one every day with my two hour limit. I might do one or two more nature ones before trying a human @o@ and then finally doing something from my head
November 15th, 2006 #6
hey bro (edit:girl or sis?lol), i saw your post in the lounge on your critque on self. bullshit.
these paintings are great! i appriciate anyone who does traditional work. good use of color in these as well. speed is good for the wacom, but i dont see any reason to try to improve speed with oils unless you are working very small with a simple reference. they are slow and meant to take time. you might be able to acheive speed with water color or just drawing. i say dont limit yourself yet. if it takes you 15 hours to make a damn convincing rock then do it.
welcome to CA
very good start here. keep at it. id love to see some drawings as well.
take care

awww thanks XD that means a lot
oils can be relaxing huh!! but acrylics can be a race against the clock
I totally understand, the wacom is faster!! I sometimes make a digital sketch in five minutes for my large scale traditional paintings...but..its hard to explain what I am trying to do here! my rant that you read is apart of it. =3
I wanted to make a manga, still sorta do one day. So I picked up a few books and one of the best ones said a good comic artist can draw anything. After all, you have to draw characters and their environments, blank backgrounds dont work. But I dont feel.....confident...if I were to draw houses and streets and all the misc. appliances in modern life. Nature comes up a lot in my paintings, but some aspects of nature stump me. In a painting I am working on now, Ive repainted the water five times now! A week of work x_x and it feels so..wasted!
so I guess thats sorta why I want to do this. If I can paint fast, and relatively accurate, I can make hundreds of studies before I make a bigger better paintings. And since im working in my choice of medium, I get a lot of practice before tackling the big boy!
oh yeah..I am not a bro! >;0

Good for you for taking on subjects that you don't like! And for learning to paint fast in an analog medium. Ryan is aparently inexperienced on the oils and acrylic speedpainting front. ;-) But it does take time and repetition to build up both speed and accuracy, and, indeed, starting with simle subjects helps. Anyway. . . follow your nose. Push yourself and post your failures and have a good laugh.
I think you are awesome, and I wish you the best in your endeavors, but I am tired of repeating myself, I am very busy with my new baby, and I am no longer a regular participant here, so please do not contact me to ask for advice on your career or education. All of the advice that I have to offer can already be found in the following links. Thank you.

update asap! lol.
when i saw you're SB i was reminded of someones work, but i could remember their name. it was definately seedling's SB!! strange. check it out though, its an adventure through oil painting!
seedlings definately right, i dont know a damn thing about speed painting. or painting in general.err. or any type of medium used to make art
i guess my point is if it takes you time to paint something really great i guess id rather see that than quick half realized works. i dont know if thats appropriate for traditional mediums or not but the above two images are inspiring regardless of the time it took you. i know i've spent days on drawings that havent turned out nearly as nice as a 15 minute sketch. similiar to painting, however i've always felt more confortable doing quick water colors than oils.
definately check out seedlings work. there is someone else on here who's sb has alot of speedy oils, mostly figures (not mentler) but damn i cant remember who..
seedling, any help?
take care
(edit: manga/comic book artist are..for lack of a better word..the shit) i guess draw untill you're fingers fall off would be the key there.atleast everyone i know who wants to be a comic book or editorial illustrator draws more than humanly capable and has a great understanding of the figure.)

Aww, thanks Ryan. :-) I'm sorry, I can't remember a specific artist who paints figures quickly, but my memory is like a . . . what's that thing you strain pasta in?
Hmm, in my last post, I wasn't even able to spell "simple".
Kitty, I've found that setting a time limit and painting daily has really taught me to nail colors and shapes fast. It takes some total bloopers and a lot of days of painting, but it works.

hola guys! =D
sorry no updates here...ive been working on my mutant kitties instead and finishing up all my end of the year projects. I havent been working on my mutant kitties for long and my whole class already likes it better than my painting Ive been working on for a month....so typical!
and yeah, it totally sucks when a sketch is better than something you work on for hours. that happens all the time, doesn't? these days I treat my sketch like a bible!
I'll be sure to check our your artworks and all =3

Speed: If the paint drying is an issue, get a high wattage lightbulb with a clip so you can aim it at your painting easily. I have two in my studio and they really help when I'm trying to compress steps.

Most programs use User Datagram Protocol (UDP) queries to resolve host names. Only when the contents of the query are larger than the maximum packet size does the program need to use Transmission Control Protocol (TCP).
The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) service is unique, because the SMTP service uses TCP queries by default.
If the Domain Name System (DNS) server does not support TCP queries, the query attempt is reset. Lookup for mail delivery does not work and the following event is logged:

worries, fears and negative expectations arising, which are being constantly received by, and impressed upon the sublime Subconscious Mind, thereby reinforced by the associated feelings, moods and emotions.
So again, Subconscious Mind is dutifully and immutably ensuring that your own unique perception of your own life experience accurately reflects your own perception of your experience and expectations in any moment, thereby perpetually satisfying the outcome of your own learned and programmed self-reinforcing perceptions, prejudices and beliefs.
If these beliefs are negative in nature, because they are self-enforcing, they can spiral out of any "control" that may have existed, very quickly being perceived as a "hopeless situation". Now it should and must be noted at this point that this process has absolutely nothing whatsoever to with this concept of "attraction" as suggested for example by proponents of the so called "Law of Attraction".
There is no "attraction" in absolute terms, and there can never be "attraction" which is an entirely erroneous concept as it is generally presented at least. "Attraction" implies a duality - "attracting" "something" "to you" that pre-exists independently "outside" of you. In truth there is no "outside" of yourself, there is no duality, ergo can never be any "attraction".
Nothing can exist "outside" "The All", beyond the context of The All. Every human, no matter what "picture" the physical senses, organic brain and conscious Mind conspire to present, is an inseparable aspect of All that Is, concurrently existing wherever The All Exists - and there is "nowhere The All does not exist otherwise The All could not be The All, encompassing The All, so it is completely erroneous to think in terms of "attracting" something from "somewhere" "outside" of you when in fact there is no "outside" of you - you are already The All, and therefore whole.
"Duality" and "separation" are simply illusions or misconceptions arising from the neuronal activity of physical senses, processed by the organic brain, which has no inherent intelligence or consciousness, and the conscious sphere of Mind activity, but which has absolutely no basis in fact.
But still nevertheless, the Conscious Mind "sees" or more correctly "perceives" and believes itself to be a "separate" "person" or entity, knownas the Ego.
This illusion of separation indeed is where many of the issues facing humanity today originate at this moment, and is accordingly the origin and cause of most misery, suffering and human conflict in the World.
"Conflict" can only exist when participants believe in an "us" and "them". Conflict of is a uniquely human trait upon planet Earth. Only humans persistently exceed their own sphere of activity and harmony within the framework of nature. Only one other organism is both as invasive as humans, which also uncontrollably exceeds its sphere or habitat - a virus.
Now then we can move on to examining the "bigger picture" of experience presented to the conscious sphere of Mind Principle in the form of an apparent "physical Universe" of "matter", to which human experience is inexorably and necessarily related as a necessary primary learning tool.
Most mainstream science today still subscribes to, and bases its entire philosophy and sphere of research around a model originally proposed by Isaac Newton, comprising broadly of a strictly 3 dimensional model of the physical Universe, consisting of structures "comprised of" what scientists have labelled as "matter" in various forms, and which are governed by "laws" contrived by science based upon a purely physical reference point.
Mainstream science, be it chemistry, biology, physics or any of the other "materially" based sciences rely substantially upon this traditional 3D model of the Universe, with its constituent subatomic particles, atoms and molecules, giving rise to carbon/hydrogen based "organic" life, without which these sciences would have no basis. The classroom wall of every school laboratory is adorned by the ubiquitous "periodic table of elements".
But there is also a fourth factor, sometimes considered as a "dimension " - "time".
Time is not always recognised as a "dimension" simply because it is not "tangible" - it cannot be "observed" as such - but is nevertheless inseparable from the arbitrary three dimensions of "space", generally considered to be "length", "width" and "height". This is why theoretical physicists often refer to this model more appropriately as "space-time".
Einstein also encompassed "time" within the context of his "Special Theory of Relativity" which also takes accounts for associated factors such as "mass", "velocity" and "gravity". Ultimately of course "light" - in, the fundamental unit of which are photons" - must also be included.
However - "time" cannot, in and of itself be considered to be a constant, simply because the reference points for the arbitrary measurement and recording of time are specific to Earth. On another planet, e.g. Jupiter, the referential basis for measurement of "time" would be completely different.
Remove all of these arbitrary and fixed reference points and "time" becomes completely meaningless, except in the context of a subjective experience, or illusion, which is what indeed "time" really is.
A cornerstone of Astrophysics and related sciences is the so called "big bang theory".
But again, the "big bang theory" is based on the assumption that the entire "Universe" is, and always has existed exclusively in three physical dimensions plus time, and accordingly all "matter" constituting the Universe originated within the context of this 3D environment as a direct result of this mysterious but highly energetic and explosive primordial event.
This model of the Universe would therefore seem to imply that "in the beginning" - before the "big bang" - the Universe was characterised by what amounts to a pre-existent "void" of three dimensional "nothingness", or potentiality, which subsequent to the "big bang" event became populated with "matter", with later its galaxies stars, planets, moons, comets, and other myriad residual cosmic material to the extent it has been identified, named and documented.
It should be noted that in seeking the true nature and origins of "life" and "reality" within the context of the three dimensional Universe of matter, science is actually working with only a very, very tiny subset of the available data, and here is why.
This 3 dimensional Newtonian model of the "Universe", plus the arbitrary concept of "time", completely fails to take to take account of the possibility or even probability of levels of higher, or faster, Vibratory Frequencies of Energy, beyond the observable confines of the traditional 3 dimensional model and capability of scientific instruments to identify and measure it.
Most, if not all scientists, will happily accept the fact that the fundamental "medium" of the Universe is Energy, the primary characteristic of which is Vibration as measured by Frequency.
But why then would Vibration and therefore Energy, suddenly cease to exist beyond a certain "level", which just happens to correspond with the outer limits of the anyway already infinitely limited scope of "modern" physical scientific instruments and therefore ability to measure frequency?
"Out of sight, out of mind" perhaps?
Absence of evidence does not equate to evidence of absence.
Vibration of course also encompasses scientifically measurable non-physical forms of Energy such as photons of light, including the visible spectrum of colour, the non-visible spectrum including but not limited to ultra violet, infra red, radio waves, microwaves, x-rays, gamma rays and so on, to the extent these can be detected and measured using physical instruments of some type.
When we look at this logically however, it immediately becomes apparent that Vibration simply cannot and does cease at the point at which it can no longer be scientifically measured, but rather simply reflects the limitations of human made physical scientific instruments in measuring Vibration beyond a certain frequency.
However, when honestly and sincerely seeking the nature of something as fundamental as "Reality" itself, an "out of sight, out of mind" approach is hopelessly flawed, quite simply because it only takes account of a very, very tiny fraction of the potential available data, which just happens to be instrumentally measurable by science, while just ignoring everything else.
This of course has always been the case throughout history, with scientific models and understanding always being strictly limited by the very nature of the instruments available by which they can be detected. This is why a couple of hundred years ago diseases where attributed to all manner of causes, including but not limited to "witchcraft", "demons", "evil spirits", but only because bacteria and later viruses had not been observed and identified, and therefore could not be factored in to the practice of medicine at that period.
In reality this is an ongoing process, with scientific models, educational and research framework and paradigm always being based upon the current technology available for measurement.
So this is an infinite process that can never determine an absolute answer.
Plain and simple - to put it bluntly - to assume that the 3 dimensional Universe of matter encompasses all "reality" with nothing beyond, simply because it cannot be detected by current technology, is no different at all to those scientists of just a few centuries ago who believed that the Earth is flat, and was also the centre of both the solar system and Universe. Those scientists were no less correct than current science for the same reasons.
The "3 dimensional Universe plus time" paradigm is really the modern day equivalent of the "Flat Earth Society".
For example - scientists still cannot understand why, if there was actually a so called "big bang" explosion originating from "somewhere" within what is now considered to be the three dimensional "material Universe", that the entire observable and measurable Universe exhibits a very similar ambient temperature throughout. Surely if the "big bang" had originated "at some "point within the concept of the known "physical Universe", considerable, or at least measurable temperature fluctuations might be observed relative to the distance of the point of measurement from this original primordial, explosive, extremely energetic, massively heat generating "event".
Well the reason quite simply is this.
The origin of this "original" "creative" "event" was not of some arbitrary "point" located "within" a notional pre-existent "3 dimensional void" just waiting to be filled, but rather from within much higher levels of Energy, far beyond the scope of the measurement potential of physical scientific instruments, an "event" originating at the very Source of All "creation", at the very highest Frequency of Energy, of Vibration, Energy that "radiated" uniformly "outwards" from the "epicentre", slowing in frequency as it did so.

THESE COUPLE DAYS i am on the GODSLIKE PRODUCTION FORUM, and LISTEN to those PEOPLE when they talk about their Experiences, I have learned many things, and we have shared our OPINIONS in a positive way, and to DEBUNK no body.
Many of them understand what is going, and I am shore the Government and all its agencies are also listening and believe me we KNOW more then they KNOW.
ITS nice to tell the TRUTH especially about the TOPIC of the GALACTIC ALIGNMENT in 2012.
But we need to UNITED and try to show them we UNDERSTAND what is going on ,also talk how we feel everyday, and our daily spiritual experiences.
Any way have a nice day, and I hope to seem most of CHAT room, its really fun believe me. There are still soome good people taht LOVE to share and help arround.

Blockbuster bbi said Monday that it will take its unsolicited $1 billion-plus bid for Circuit City Stores ccq directly to shareholders, saying the consumer electronics chain has not responded to repeated offers.
The movie rental chain operator said it has been in talks with Circuit City for months regarding an acquisition, and on Feb. 17th sent a letter to Circuit City Chairman and Chief Executive Philip Schoonover offering $6 to $8 a share in cash for the company.
Based on Circuit City's 168.4 million shares outstanding at Dec. 31, 2007, the deal values Circuit City at $1.01 billion to $1.35 billion. The offer also represents a 25% to 67% premium to Circuit City's closing stock price of $4.79 on Feb. 15th, the last trading day before Blockbuster made its offer, and at least a 54% premium to the stock's closing stock price Friday of $3.90.
Blockbuster also said in its February letter it is willing to pursue alternative deal structures that would enable Circuit City shareholders to receive stock. The company would expect to fund the takeover with borrowings and by issuing additional stock through a rights offering to existing shareholders.
Cost savings from store closings, mostly of Blockbuster outlets, could help pay for the deal, Blockbuster CEO Jim Keyes told analysts Monday. He noted that "95% of Circuit City stores are within five miles of a Blockbuster location."
He said the combined company could offer new services. For example, stores might offer opportunities to buy digital devices with pre-loaded movies or set aside areas where shoppers could try products.
"It's not inconceivable to imagine a Blockbuster kiosk in your local Circuit City store, or Circuit City video game terminals residing next to the video game rental section in your neighborhood Blockbuster store," he said.
Blockbuster says it requested a response by Feb. 21, but, to date, Circuit City has failed to provide due diligence necessary to allow Blockbuster to make a definitive takeover proposal. Blockbuster is asking for such information as Circuit City's long-term corporate strategic plan and outlook, detailed store-level performance data and current inventory aging schedules, among other items.
"Our proposal offers Circuit City a significant premium to its existing stock price and creates a game-changing retail concept with a sustainable competitive advantage," Keyes said in a statement. "We look forward to engaging in further conversations with Circuit City and reaching an agreement as soon as possible."
Keyes, a former CEO of 7-Eleven, was hired last year with a mandate to turn around the company. Keyes has shifted Blockbuster's emphasis from purely DVD rental markets, encapsulating both traditional and online rentals, to in-store sales of DVDs and other media such as video games.
He said the "new" Blockbuster would be "the most convenient source for media entertainment".
Blockbuster, which has 7,800 stores worldwide and a market capitalization about $80 million below Circuit City's $656.6 million, said it expects a profit of $30 million in the quarter that ended April 6.
Since taking the helm last July, Keyes has touted the long-term potential in the chain's brick-and-mortar stores and has pulled back on the company's aggressive and costly rivalry with Netflix Inc for the online DVD rental market.

Press release from Marketwire
WesternZagros Exceeds Expectations from First Cased Hole Test in Kurdamir-2 Oligocene
Monday, November 19, 2012
WesternZagros Exceeds Expectations from First Cased Hole Test in Kurdamir-2 Oligocene07:10 EST Monday, November 19, 2012CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Nov. 19, 2012) -NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATESWesternZagros Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:WZR) ("WesternZagros" or "the Company") has successfully completed the first of three planned cased-hole tests in the Oligocene Formation of the Kurdamir-2 well in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Flow rates of up to 3,450 barrels per day ("bbl/d") of light oil were achieved from the 20 metre perforated interval, the deepest of the planned Oligocene tests. The Company now interprets the Oligocene oil leg encountered in this well to be 146 metres minimum thickness (previously interpreted to be 118 metres). WesternZagros expects that its contingent resources estimate will increase significantly as a result of this test. Simon Hatfield, WesternZagros's Chief Executive Officer commented,"This first cased-hole test result far exceeded our expectations from what we consider to be the poorest quality portion of the reservoir. The primary objective of testing this deepest interval was to establish lowest known oil. We now look forward to determining the flow rate from the two additional tests in the main zone of the increasingly promising Oligocene reservoir."The cased-hole test was conducted over a perforated interval of 20 metres of fractured reservoir below the main porous zone of the Oligocene. The maximum flow rate of 3,450 bbl/d of light oil and 8.8 mmcf/d of natural gas was reached after flowing and stabilizing the well for two days at progressively larger choke sizes. The final rate was achieved on a 72/64" choke with a wellhead flowing pressure of 810 psi. The oil was high quality 38 degree API and no formation water was detected. The Company's expectation of an increase in its contingent resources is based on the now proven lowest known oil in the Kurdamir-2 well at 2,590 metres, 28 metres deeper than reported following the initial open-hole test conducted in March 2012. The test results also validate that the prospective resources contained in the Oligocene extend still further down the structure; and this will be further evaluated in the upcoming Kurdamir-3 well to be drilled once current operations on Kurdamir-2 are completed.The operator, Talisman (Block K44) B.V. ("Talisman") will continue the testing program of two additional Oligocene intervals at Kurdamir-2. Upon completion of the testing program, test and wire log data will be analyzed and the Company will release an updated resource estimate for the Oligocene once confirmed by its independent auditors. WesternZagros and Talisman each have a 40 percent working interest in the Kurdamir Block with the Kurdistan Regional Government ("KRG") holding the remaining 20 percent.About WesternZagros Resources Ltd.WesternZagros is an international natural resources company engaged in acquiring properties and exploring for, developing and producing crude oil and natural gas in Iraq. WesternZagros, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, holds a 40 percent working interest in two Production Sharing Contracts with the Kurdistan Regional Government in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.

Forward-looking information typically contains statements with words such as "anticipate", "plan", "estimate", "expect", "potential", "could", or similar words suggesting future outcomes. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on forward‐looking information as by its nature, it is based on current expectations regarding future events that involve a number of assumptions, inherent risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by WesternZagros. In addition, the forward‐looking information is made as of the date hereof, and the Company assumes no obligation to update or revise such to reflect new events or circumstances, except as required by law.Forward‐looking information is not based on historical facts but rather on management's current expectations and assumptions regarding, among other things, plans for and results of drilling activity and testing programs, future capital and other expenditures (including the amount, nature and sources of funding thereof), continued political stability, and timely receipt of any necessary government or regulatory approvals. Although the Company believes the expectations and assumptions reflected in such forward‐looking information are reasonable, they may prove to be incorrect. Forward‐looking information involves significant known and unknown risks and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by WesternZagros including, but not limited to, risks associated with the oil and gas industry (e.g. operational risks in exploration; inherent uncertainties in interpreting geological data; changes in plans with respect to exploration or capital expenditures; interruptions in operations together with any associated insurance proceedings; the uncertainty of estimates and projections in relation to costs and expenses and health, safety and environmental risks), the risk of commodity price and foreign exchange rate fluctuations, the uncertainty associated with negotiating with foreign governments and risk associated with international activity.

Terms related to resource classifications referred to herein are based on the definitions and guidelines in the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook which are as follows. "Prospective resources" are those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from undiscovered accumulations by application of future development projects. Prospective resources have both an associated chance of discovery (geological chance of success) and a chance of development (economic, regulatory, market, facility, corporate commitment or political risks). The chance of commerciality is the product of these two risk components. The estimates referred to herein have not been risked for either the chance of discovery or the chance of development. There is no certainty that any portion of the prospective resources will be discovered. If a discovery is made, there is no certainty that it will be developed or, if it is developed, there is no certainty as to the timing of such development or that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the prospective resources. The combined prospective resource estimate referenced was independently audited as of May 31, 2012 (Tertiary Eocene), April 20, 2012 (Tertiary Oligocene) and January 14, 2011 (Cretaceous) and is the gross volume for the indicated reservoirs, without any adjustment for the Company's working interest or encumbrances. The Company's Statement of Oil and Gas Information contained in its Annual Information Form dated March 26, 2012 ("AIF") and Material Change Reports dated April 23, 2012 and June 6, 2012 ("Material Change Reports") filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com contain additional detail with respect to the resource assessments and include the significant risks and uncertainties associated with the estimates and the recovery and development of the resources. In addition, the combined mean estimate of prospective resources referenced is an arithmetic sum of the mean estimates for the three individual reservoirs on the Kurdamir structure and each such individual mean estimate is the average from the probabilistic assessment that was completed for the reservoir. Readers should refer to the AIF and the Material Change Reports for a detailed breakdown of the high (P10), low (P90) and best (P50) estimates for each of the individual reservoir assessments.

A rookie Iditarod musher's lead dog is missing in Anchorage after escaping from a dog truck on Thursday, friends say.
Silvia Furtwangler, a German musher who lives in Norway, arrived in Anchorage after two grueling days of international travel with her dog team.
After arriving at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, she and her 16 dogs headed to Willow, where Furtwangler planned to spend the weeks before the race practicing.
By the time the group stopped to buy groceries in Wasilla, only 15 dogs were in the truck: Whistler, a spotted black, gray and white lead dog with piercing blue eyes, was nowhere to be found.
It appeared that "the dog had pushed out one of the screens," on the truck, said Tracey Mendenhall, a friend of the musher who has been organizing a search effort.
Since then, a dog matching Whistler's description has been spotted near the Anchorage Senior Center in Fairview and along the Chester Creek Trail by at least three people.
"Everyone who saw this dog is convinced that it is the dog," Mendenhall said. "And he's acting like a mushing dog -- lying in the snow, running around very fast."
Mendenhall organized a Facebook group and has asked cross-country skiers and walkers on the trails to watch out for the dog, who is skittish but seems to be in good shape overall, she said.
"Everyone who has seen him says he looks healthy and not injured," she said.
Furtwangler finished the Yukon Quest in 2003 and has competed in races throughout Europe.
According to Iditarod rules, she could begin the race without Whistler.
But Furtwangler is very attached to the dog, and as a leader, he's an integral part of her team, Mendenhall said.
If you've seen a dog matching Whistler's description, call Mendenhall at 907-895-1961.

Comments about Jil Sander Sensations Perfume:
I have used it for work, I have used it for evening. In both instances, it always draws compliments. It suits my "type" (mediterranean),wears well on my skin and lasts quite a bit I'd say.
The only drawback, which is of no fault of this site, is that it was available only in the small bottle, perhaps since it was out of stock and for a long time for that matter. I tend to buy large bottles, better value for money and the perfume lasts longer, obviously.

What is it about baseball that requires/supports such a large minor-league system, compared to the NFL or NBA? Is baseball really that much more difficult to master that it takes years in the minors to improve enough to advance the major-league level? I frankly find that hard to believe. Or do the economics just "work" well enough to allow such a large system, that they do it as a luxury and another industry unto itself? John, Columbus, Ohio
Tommy Lasorda always asked if a doctor operated on 10 patients, and only three survived, would that doctor be considered a success? Then he would ask if a batter collected three hits in 10 at-bats, would he be considered a success?
I'm not an NBA scout, but I wish more student-athletes would stay in school longer to polish their basketball skills as well as maximize a free education. Ditto with football, although more student-athletes are redshirted and deem themselves ready after two or three years of playing. I understand a lucrative signing bonus can give their families some instant security, but sometimes players find themselves out of work within a few years after they sign.
You do see more baseball players spending less time in the minors. I'm not trying to downplay the travel of the other sports, but there is a big test of maturity when it comes to baseball players being away from home for the first time, traveling by bus in the minors and preparing to play every day.
You wrote, "I can't see Jackson being moved to closer. He's got too many good pitches to be used as a closer, and he and Danks are the two most durable pitchers in the rotation right now." I have to disagree. They're not more durable than Mark Buehrle. Maybe you can tell me has Buehrle ever going on the DL let alone missing a start? Tad Verdun, Chicago
I'm sure you point to his impressive run of 200-plus innings and 30+plus starts for 10 consecutive seasons. Those are the longest active streaks in the majors (no thanks to Joe West).
But I point to now. Buehrle finally embarked on a shoulder strengthening program a few years ago on the suggestion of pitching coach Don Cooper because of tough second halves. It helped to some extent last year, although he was 1-4 with a 5.58 ERA in his final eight starts in 2010.
During the first five weeks of the 2008 season, Buehrle had seven, six and five days of rest before three starts in an effort to ensure his health. That extra rest hasn't been afforded to Danks and Jackson.
Obviously, Danks and Jackson are much younger. Danks threw more innings than Buehrle last season, and Jackson threw 209 innings with two teams. Jackson also threw a 149-pitch no-hitter last season that I still shake my head for several reasons. I consider this a passing of the torch, although I expect Buehrle to start opening day at Cleveland on April 1 because he's deserves that honor.
I wouldn't be surprised if Jackson, not Floyd, was the No. 2 starter, followed by Danks.
While I think signing Dunn was a mistake. He's here, so where do think that leaves Viciedo? Two years In the minors trying to learn to catch the ball, or will the Sox make the mistake of trading him? I didn't know the Sox hadn't signed Freddy Garcia, Can you explain why? He was as good as anybody last year. Warren Weaver, Long Beach, Calif.
Competition for an outfield spot will be intriguing with the likes of Viciedo, Alejandro DeAza, Lastings Milledge and Brent Lillibridge. The Sox are in a win-now mode, but they don't want to stunt Viciedo's development. I still think he'll play a role on the major league roster at some point. Young power is hard to find.
I don't blame Freddy for signing with the Yankees. Once Peavy returns, the rotation will be set, and Freddy isn't a long reliever.
I'm sure you spoke to Mark Buehrle during SoxFest. Is he still inclined towards retirement after this season? He might not be an ace any longer, but he's still a serviceable workhorse. Your guess on the odds of his playing more ball on the South Side after 2011? Might he transition to a closer like Smoltz did? It could work fine if most of his first innings have been scoreless ones. I'd like to see him stay with his attitude and work ethic.Michael, South Florida
I was somewhat surprised to hear Mark keep the door open toward returning. The end of the 2011 season is a long way away, and the shoulder strengthening program seemed to invigorate him.
But it's a long season, he's logged a lot of innings and he values his family life very highly. I can't see him shifting to a closer role, but there are many variables involving the state of the Sox's rotation in 2012.
Welcome to 2011, here we go: I can't see the Sox going the whole season with Thornton, Santos, Crain, and Ohman sharing the closer role. I predict they'll move someone for a "real" closer. If Viciedo can handle the outfield, are we looking at Quentin being moved at some point? (If you're reading this Kenny, please keep Sale as a starter!) Cliff Jordan, Chicago
I'd like to see Carlos stay healthy enough to get 500 at-bats and see where his numbers are at the end of the season. There might be a temptation to move a player to acquire a closer or address a glaring weakness.

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia -- Marielle Thompson and Kelsey Serwa got great air even with their ski boots on, kicking back their heels and flailing their arms so wide, they almost dropped the flowers.
That, Canada, is what you call owning the podium.
The Canadian women won gold and silver in skicross Friday, giving their country bookend 1-2 performances in the freestyle skiing events at the Sochi Olympics.
Freestyle opened Feb. 8 with sisters Justine and Chloe Dufour-Lapointe of Montreal finishing first and second in moguls.
"Being on the podium at the Olympics in itself is pretty cool," Serwa said, still all smiles long after a jubilant celebration during the flower ceremony. "To be standing beside your teammate is the best feeling in the world."
In all, the Canadians have sent two people to the freestyle podium four times during these games: men's and women's moguls, women's slopestyle and women's skicross. They also had the men's silver medalist on the halfpipe.
In all, that's nine freestyle medals for the country that pumped upward of $110 million into their "Own The Podium" program in advance of the Vancouver Games, hoping to boost the medal count and seed some potential in the raft of action sports added to the Olympics.
"It's been a huge force all the way through," Serwa said. "Heading out there and being able to train around the world all year-round -- without that, we wouldn't be here today."
The Canadians dedicated this final freestyle victory to Nik Zoricic, the skicross racer from Toronto who died in a race in Switzerland in 2012.
Zoricic wore blue jeans to training in the early days because he didn't have the right kind of snow pants. The Canadian team, normally awash in red and white, went with blue bottoms to honor their fallen friend.
"I'm sure Nik is up there smiling and cracking open a couple of beers and we miss him," Canadian coach Eric Archer said.
Zoricic died only two months after Canada's most famous freestyle star, Sarah Burke, lost her life from injuries suffered in a training accident on the halfpipe.
If anyone needed reminding about the dangers of these extreme sports, women's skicross was Exhibit A.
The final on a foggy, drizzly day at Rosa Khutor served up its share of ugly accidents that could ignite discussion about whether the Olympic course is built too big for the women.
In back-to-back quarterfinals, Anna Woerner of Germany and Stephanie Joffroy of Chile were taken off the course on stretchers after wrecking despite not being bunched in a tight racing pack. Woerner fractured her right shin and tore a knee ligament. The German Olympic Committee says Woerner will need surgery on her knee.
No updates on Joffroy's condition were immediately provided.
The dangers of this sport were amplified last weekend when Russian skicross racer Maria Komissarova fractured her spine in training. She had emergency surgery at a hospital in the mountains and was later taken to Munich, Germany, for another operation.
"It's always sad when people get injured and, of course, I hope they get well fast," said Anna Holmlund of Sweden, who won the bronze medal. "But in one way, it's the Olympics and it's supposed to be tough. I think it's a good course."
Regardless, skicross is not for the faint of heart.

AboutRoger Hiorns' Untitled, 2012 will be displayed concurrently in firstsite's Entrance Space. The sculpture consists of two engines from a decommissioned military surveillance aeroplane. The Boeing EC-135c aircraft was part of a fleet that gathered intelligence as part of an ongoing US initiative codenamed 'Operation Looking Glass', begun in 1961. Contained within the engines is a measure of crushed anti-depressant drugs. The work explores Hiorns' interest in the advanced technology involved in creating a powerful, aggressive symbol of war, alongside the small, yet no less powerful and aggressive pharmaceutical. Making reference to the creation and alleviation of anxiety on both a national and personal level, it addresses the connection between global security and individual well-being. This will be the first time that the work has been presented indoors. Untitled, 2010 was originally commissioned by the Art Institute of Chicago, and has been generously gifted to the Arts Council Collection by the artist and Corvi Mora, London. The gift has been supported by The Henry Moore Foundation. Roger Hiorns (b. 1975, Birmingham) has held solo exhibitions at the Hepworth Wakefield; De Hallen Haarlem, Haarlem (2013); Aspen Art Museum, Colorado; Art Institute of Chicago (2010); Tate Britain, London (2003, 2009); Camden Arts Centre, London (2007); Milton Keynes Gallery (2006) and the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (2003). He has participated in significant survey exhibitions including the 55th Venice Biennale (2013); British Art Show 6 and 7 (2005, 2011); Busan Biennale (2008) and the 1st Athens Biennial (2007). In 2009 he was shortlisted for the Turner Prize. His sculpture Untitled, 2008 formed part of firstsite's 2012 exhibition News From Nowhere. Hiorns lives and works in London.

Buffalo Sabres center Cody Hodgson is out indefinitely after breaking a bone in his right hand during a game with the team's American Hockey League affiliate. Rochester coach Ron Rolston says Hodgson will miss at least a few weeks before having his injury evaluated. Hodgson told the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle he was hurt after being slashed by Adirondack's Brandon Manning in a game Oct. 27. Hodgson wore a splint in a game against Hamilton on Friday, before being sidelined the following day. He has a goal and nine assists in nine games with Rochester. Acquired by Buffalo in a trade with Vancouver in February, Hodgson is coming off his first full NHL season. The 2008 first-round draft pick was eligible to play in the minors during the NHL lockout.

5 Million Farmers Sue Monsanto for $7.7 Billion
Anthony Gucciardi
Tuesday, June 5, 2012
Activist Post
Launching a lawsuit against the very company that is responsible for a farmer suicide every 30 minutes, 5 million farmers are now suing Monsanto for as much as 6.2 billion euros (around 7.7 billion US dollars). The reason? As with many other cases, such as the ones that led certain farming regions to be known as the 'suicide belt', Monsanto has been reportedly taxing the farmers to financial shambles with ridiculous royalty charges. The farmers state that Monsanto has been unfairly gathering exorbitant profits each year on a global scale from "renewal" seed harvests, which are crops planted using seed from the previous year's harvest.
The practice of using renewal seeds dates back to ancient times, but Monsanto seeks to collect massive royalties and put an end to the practice. Why? Because Monsanto owns the very patent to the genetically modified seed, and is charging the farmers not only for the original crops, but the later harvests as well. Eventually, the royalties compound and many farmers begin to struggle with even keeping their farm afloat. It is for this reason that India slammed Monsanto with groundbreaking 'biopiracy' charges in an effort to stop Monsanto from 'patenting life'.

From Thomas Jefferson in the 18th century to the Southern Agrarians in the 20th, there's been a theoretical theme in political philosophy focusing on the small-farm-owning job-in-town citizen as a model for general admiration and emulation. As that concept now re-surfaces, in surprising strength, in the form of the suburban (for suburban-living preference in Vermont, see final paragraph)lawns-to-gardens movement, I'd add that there are five specific reasons for approval as well. In abbreviated form, here they are:
1. Grow-your-own takes open-land space. It bids fair to trump the "smart-growth" campaign pressure against low-density development.
2. Grow-your-own intensifies instincts for private property rights. Losing your own produce to a thief can swiftly undo a lot of mystical communal ideology.
3. Grow-your-own rewards producers differentially. Some folks are better at some things than others, no matter what the equal-outcome advocates may say.
4. Grow-your-own cultivates individual independence. Raising your own food won't fully eliminate the need for a cash income, but it helps marginally.
5. Grow-your-own demands recognition of the real cost of food in land, labor, and equipment. It might just dilute the urbanite-pleasing national-cheap-food-policy a little when former consumers learn what it takes to be a producer.
There are some minor ones as well, for example the 1998 Steven Blank book, half prediction, half desire, with a self-explanatory title: "The End of Agriculture in the American Portfolio". Its basic thesis is that Americans are too smart to spend their valuable time growing stuff, when they could be in their labs and offices inventing and communicating, while loin-cloth-clad folks elsewhere can ship us whatever we desire, at suitably low cost. Whether his argument has official approval (he was a USDA staffer while writing) is a debatable point; what's non-debatable is that suburban gardeners disagree.
More recently, the USDA has again acted in ways interpreted as hostile by the grow-your-own movement, this time by orchestrating the "Food Safety Modernization Act", H.R. 875, which requires governmental tracking of food-item production and commerce, down to the front-lawn veggie patch, ostensibly in the public-health interest, but arguably (note that Monsanto is an advocate of the proposed regulation) a concealed effort to prevent loss of commerce to the existing (and at financial risk) beyond-the-farmgate network of handlers, processors, distributors, and retailers. It's a strategy which has fairly deep historical roots, as those who have followed the retail food industry's (mostly successful) efforts to ban producer sales of raw milk have seen; I can recall attending Health Department hearings in the '70's where industry lobbyists spoke piously of the need to keep all milk in commercial channels for the public welfare. Now the same industry/government concerns are being voiced with regard to the pressing need for regulation of farmers' markets and, indeed, all producer-to-consumer food sales, presumably as an essential protection against mad cows and terrorists. The USDA might respond, in self-defense, that it has published a whole series of books and sponsored conferences on backyard gardening, as, indeed, it has.

text: "Forty feet below, two million pounds are buried." This cryptic inscription on a stone uncovered at the 100-foot level of the Oak Island "money pit" has kept treasure hunters digging for almost 200 years. Over the centuries, Oak Island, which lies just off the coast of Nova Scotia, has gobbled up the resources and lives of many men without producing a single doubloon. Designed by some ancient engineer, the pit is a complex hole with timber crosspieces every 10 feet. Near the 100-foot level, any attempt to break through brings the Atlantic Ocean rushing in. So far, all efforts to solve the puzzle of the protective design have failed. Even using the most modern technology, no one has been able to get through to those two million pounds… 50 billion dollars! Who built it and why? Some surprising answers in this video!
