Eastern Queensland, Australia.
This rhinoceros cockroach is found in a variety of habitats, ranging from dry Eucalyptus woodland, to Acacia scrub and, occasionally, rainforest.
All of the places it lives in have one thing in common – compacted sandy soils, which this species needs in order to dig the lives burrows in which it spends much of its time.
This rhinoceros cockroach lives in permanent burrows, which it digs using its spade-like forelegs. These burrows commonly meander just below the soil surface for up to 1m (3.28ft) before sloping steeply downwards. The burrows are usually about 40cm (15.75in) deep and as they descend they widen, before narrowing again near their end.
This species can be common where it occurs. It is not known to be threatened.

Purple Sandpiper (juvenile), Salthouse, 1st September 2006 (Pat Wileman). This obliging little bird came so close that I couldn't focus through the telescope.

Little Grebe with chick, Cley, 25th August 2006 (Steve Gantlett). At last the pair in the Catchwater Drain have produced some young this year - two.

Red-throated Diver, Cley 21st August 2006 (Pat Wileman). This summer plumage bird was lingering close inshore behind Arnold's Marsh but made photographing it difficult by living up to its name and frequently diving!
Common Sandpipers, Cley, 20th August 2006 (Pat Wileman). These were 5 from a flock of 9 that flew in from the east and landed on this small island in the brackish pools near the entrance to North Hide.
Juvenile Yellow-legged Gull, Simmond's Scrape, 17th August 2006 (Richard Millington). One of 25 michahellis at the pre-roost gathering.

Juvenile Puffin, Cley Coastguards, 12th August (Mark Golley). Seen swimming east just offshore, but plainly exhausted; it ended up on the beach, and sadly succumbed.

Adult Yellow-legged Gull, Glaven Valley, 10th August (Richard Millington). In active primary moult.

Reed Warbler, Cley, 5th August 2006 (Peter Simpson).
Adult Mediterranean Gull, from Bishop Hide, mid afternoon 5th August 2006 (Matthew Rodgers). A 'common gull' nowadays, but still worth studying every time.
Second-summer Caspian Gull, Salthouse, 4th August 2006 (Richard Millington). The third cachinnans in the square this week.
First-summer Caspian Gull, Wiveton/Edgefield, 3rd August (Tom Lowe). Found at the pig-fields near Wiveton Downs, then relocated later in the day at Edgefield Tip.
Juvenile Marsh Harrier, Cley, Norfolk, 3rd August 2006 (Steve Gantlett). At least 11 juveniles have fledged on the reserve this summer - a record!
Curlew, Letheringsett, 3rd August 2006 (Richard Millington). The bill on this juvenile bird is typically rather short ... it still has plenty of growing to do.
Gannets, Cley, 3rd August 2006 (Richard Millington).
Woodpigeon, Cley, 2nd August 2006 (Richard Millington). Having a shower.
Roseate Tern, Arnold's Marsh, 2nd August 2006 (Pat Wileman).

Green Sandpiper, Cley, 31st July 2006 (Steve Gantlett). Like the Common Sandpiper below, briefly quite close on Whitwell Scrape.
Spoonbills, Cley, 30th July 2006 (Steve Gantlett).
Water Rail chick, Cley, 29th July 2006 (Richard Millington). This little critter appeared just as the sun was setting. Although still fluffy and wingless, it seemed quite independent.
Common Sandpiper, Cley, 29th July 2006 (Steve Gantlett). Whitwell Scrape continues to be bafflingly poor for birds, but the occasional wader visits it, and this was right in front of the hide, briefly.
Wood Sandpiper, Cley, 27th July 2006 (John Miller).
Bearded Tit, Cley, 25th July 2006 (Pat Wileman). This male posed nicely just outside Bishop Hide one morning. Families of Bearded Tits have been showing well on warm, still mornings recently.
Spoonbills, Cley, 24th July 2006 (Steve Gantlett). Four of the gang of six over East Bank in the evening.
Black-tailed Godwit, Pat's Pool, 23rd July 2006 (Pat Wileman). Juvenile of nominate race (limosa). This form is unusual at Cley as virtually all individuals seen here are of the race islandica.
Green Sandpiper, Cley, 22nd July 2006 (Peter Simpson).
Black-tailed Godwit, Cley, 22nd July 2006 (Peter Simpson).
Spoonbills, Cley, 22nd July 2006 (Peter Simpson).
Spoonbills, Pat's Pool, Cley, 22nd July 2006 (Steve Gantlett). Five of the gang of six. One of them had walked off at this point, but it is good to see them using the reserve more again this summer, after a gap of some years in which the species put in just fleeting appearances. It is also good to see them with their heads up occasionally!
Juvenile Little Ringed Plover, Cley, 8th July 2006 (Steve Gantlett). After the first blank spring on the reserve for many years, at last some LRPs have arrived in the last few days. This bird was on Whitwell Scrape, quite close to the hide in the early in the morning.
Adult female Red-necked Phalarope, Arnold's Marsh, Cley, 5th July 2006 (Steve Gantlett). This bird twice visited Arnold's Marsh during the day, once at around 9.00am and once at around midday, but for only a few minutes on each occasion.

What Is Endometrial Carcinoma?
Cancer happens when cells in your body go through changes that make them grow out of control. Endometrial carcinoma is a kind of cancer that begins in your uterus. Only women have a uterus, so only women can get this kind of cancer.
Carcinoma refers to cancer that begins in tissues that form linings throughout the body. The endometrium is the lining of the inside of the uterus. So endometrial carcinoma is a cancer that forms in the inner lining of the uterus. In women of childbearing age, this lining grows and thickens each month to prepare for pregnancy. If a woman does not become pregnant, the thick, bloody lining flows out of the body as the menstrual flow.
This article refers to endometrial carcinoma simply as endometrial cancer, but other kinds of cancer can form in the uterus as well. These are called uterine sarcomas.
Endometrial cancer usually takes years to develop. It most often occurs in women who have already gone through menopause.

Britney Spears is reportedly getting close to her bodyguard/boyfriend, and the two were spotted frolicking with her sons Sean and Jayden in her Malibu compound pool over the weekend. But that's not even the most exciting Britney news to surface today. Rumors are floating around the web that she may actually be attempting that anticipated comeback with the release of a new single, supposedly titled "Get Back." Some alleged lyrics to the song:
so you?re the one
who want us
to get back
(you say lets get back together)(lets get back forever)
now its u the one
who?s followin me around
like a homeless dog
and you pray
(let?s get back together,let?s get back for better)
get back
lets lets lets
get back(back,back,back?)
This could all be just one great big rumor, but if not, we sure hope "homeless dog" sounds better in song than it looks on paper. This is like one step up from Brit's usual attempts at putting her feelings into words. But still – if there's anyway we can get old Britney back, we'll take it. Get that girl a snake and some sequins!

Kentucky 3, Louisville 2
Sept. 10, 2013
Recap |
Box Score |
Photo Gallery
Head Coach Craig SkinnerOpening Statement ..."We were matched in a lot of different ways. I didn't even play tonight, and I think I lost about six pounds out there with the heat. I just tried to drink as much water as possible. [It was a] gutty performance, in my opinion, for both teams. It was back-and-forth. It wasn't pretty volleyball the whole time, but I'm proud of our kids for the way they stepped up and made some great plays. It could have gone the other way after the fourth, but they came out ready to go. I give our players a lot of credit. A couple of great digs, a couple of key swings, and some good serving by Whitney (Billings) there at the end."On whether this is the kind of match he expected ..."Well, four of our last six have gone five. It was a battle. You can throw out records, you can throw out our last match, you can throw out statistics, and it always just seems to be a real competition. You see a lot of emotions, a lot of adrenaline, and a lot of nerves. Tonight was no exception."On whether the temperature in Memorial Coliseum affected Kentucky's performance ..."I think the one thing it probably affected was the setters on both sides. As a setter you have to think, `Is it going to slip through my hands?' I think that was a factor. Other than that, both sides had to deal with it so I think it was an even situation."On what the team can gain from matches like this ..."It's a lot of experience. You can't create that in practice. You can't create being up big in a set. You can't create being down big in the fourth and coming back in the fifth. We weathered the storm and it says a lot about the toughness of these guys running at us. "On how Kentucky adjusted to Louisville's attack ..."We were a lot more aggressive attacking, today, than they were. From the matches we scouted, they have obviously fixed a couple things. Our block was a little disappointing tonight. We have to do a better job slowing that down. We found other ways to score and that's what you have to do in a match like this."On Anni Thomasson's performance tonight ..."She had a huge kill there at the end. I don't think she fears much. She thrives in those situations. That's what competitors do. In the fifth set, with those jump serves running at us to close the gap, I was real proud of the way we passed at the end."On if he thought to loosen his tie tonight ..."It was funny because I didn't, but I saw an ice bucket behind the bench and I kept thinking about sticking my head inside of it. It was hot. Again, I give our players credit for weathering through that."Kentucky Players#2, Zan MorganOn the last few point of the game ..."I just thought we left everything out there and all of us knew we were going to win that game. We knew we were going to fight our hardest for every point. Morgan (Bergren) had a huge block which gave us a ton of momentum and then Anni's (Thomasson) big swing, all the momentum was on our side. We knew we had to keep the momentum on our side so we could win the game."On playing in the heat ..."We just have a thing that it's not just hot for us, it's hot for everybody."On winning the second set ..."It would be huge for them (Louisville) if they would've won the second. They would've had a lot of momentum and they would've assumed that we would be back on our heels and down from the two losses. It's definitely very good that we won that second game, momentum wise."#4, Anni ThomassonOn playing against Louisville for the first time ..."It's intense, for sure. I've never really been on a team that wanted to win as much as this team did. All the emotions that come with this game is just unreal."On winning the second set ..."I mean they're a good team. They came back, so it was good for us that we ended up finishing that game."On being one of three sports to play Louisville in a week ..."I feel like all the sports support each other. Obviously, it's Kentucky-Louisville, it's a pretty big rivalry so I think everybody is kind of supporting each other."#10, Shelby WorkmanOn playing in the heat ..."We do practice in it, a lot. We're used to it. It's definitely not been that hot in a while, but we're kind of more prepared."On improving between sets ..."I just think seeing the attitudes of all your teammates on the court. Everyone wants to do good."On being focused ..."I think it's something that we've definitely worked on. That's like one big thing that we've improved on is the focus between each pont and the consistent energy."

- " Very pleasant, relax and clean. I recommend you this hostel. "

- " We had a great time at Reykjavik City Hostel. It is outside the city center which was actually quite lovely since it was fairly quiet. It is also a short walk from the shore which had gorgeous views. Right next door is one of the best pools in the city which we loved. The rooms were comfortable, clean, and very secure. I loved how you needed a key card to get into your wing and then again to your room. Staff was very friendly and helpful and the grounds were lovely and spacious. Def recommend! "
- 28 Apr 2015 Mary USA
- " The hostel was quite a traditional youth hostel, not like a lot of modern hostels you see around the bigger cities in Europe and North America nowadays. It was ok clean and fine, but no frills. My matress had a plastic cover, which made it less cozy. There was some minor garbage left in my (empty room) from previous guests. Toilets and bathrooms were on different floors than my roo. There was free luggage storage, but it was in the basement and luggage had to be dragged down a spiral staircase. "

I can do doubles. one hit with my heal and one with my toe. but with shoes i cant because the shoes are to big...
So do i have to but on shoes every time i'm going to play drums to be able to get better and if I do what kind of shoes? Sometimes i play with a cheap copy of converse shoes but it don't feel good at all.
What footwear do you use? Have anyone tried different footwear? Do you use footwear? Do you use different footwear for different styles?
Youtube is littered with drummers who play barefoot, and in socks. I dislike this - I think it not only looks goofy, but I hate the feeling of a cold pedal on my feet.But whatever makes em' feel like they play better. As far as what shoes to wear, I really don't think there is a right and wrong. I wear all different types of shoes, sneakers like Adidas Superstars, Vans slip ons, and the very popular Chuck Taylors. It doesn't really effect my playing at all.
The only types of shoes I don't wear are the plain Jane tennis shoes, or running shoes as some call them. Anything that doesn't weigh your foot down is fine. If you're having difficulty playing bare foot, vs wearing shoes, then you just need to practice with shoes on.
In short, I don't think any footwear dominates another for drumming. Those drumming shoes that artists endorse, I tried em', and I think they are just a money making gimmic. I'd rather have sneakers any day

1. Well, yeah we make mistakes, we are only human. But, as humans we are sart enough to correct our mistakes. It all comes down to determining what is a mistake and what is simply a disagreement. The Chenobel Nucular incedent? Mistake. Greenpeace running agound on ta reef? Mistake. Us eating hambugars? Disagreement. Global Warming? That is yet to be seen which it is. And this is again a whole new subject, and best settled on a different form.
Well we are making a huge mistake with the environment (which includes the whales as if they go the impact on the environment would be huge) but there seems to be nothing actually being done to correct what is happening. I do not see why we cannot discuss all things on this thread as well. Discussions inevitably move in different directions during its course, it does not mean that they cannot be discussed as well.
2. Duh. That's how you get ahead. Think about it. A single ant isn't much of a threat, but the strength of a colony is enough to make even an elephant run. A cobra doesn't use's poison to make it a much greater threat than it would be with out it. We, while not having strength, poison, armour, wings, gills or claws, make it to the top by using our wits to give us the edge. Man hasn't always had guns, but even then we were still the top dog. By an evolutionary perspective, we deserve our spot because of our inteligence. If the other animals want to get ahead, they need to work smarter, not harder.
Thank you for Duh'ing at me, so nice of you. I am fully aware of that we have used and abused things and that is how we have got ahead. You are right about our intelligence. The human brain has evolved in away that has meant that we have been able to adapt things and use things to our advantage to add strength to us and protect us more. There has to be a point though where there needs to be a balance between getting ahead and going to far. Going to far could end up with our destruction.
I do not think that before man used guns, armour etc we were at the top. We would have been one of the top predators, but I imagine that we still would have had to be more careful than what we can be now. Yes we do deserve our now claimed spot at the top but with that comes a responsibility (especially as of how we got there) I also think that the other animals do get ahead but in their own way and without affecting us.
Though if you want we could start up another thread where we can discuss all things that are not related to whales. I like a good debate, as it is always good seeing different points of view (especially when about emotional subjects such as what has been discussed in this thread)
I think in the interview he was trying to be clever and failing badly.
I also hope he was being sarcastic when he said what he did about Jeremy Bulloch.
I am 16,my birthday is April 22.
I hope you don't mind but that made me
Hehe you were born on the year that I left school (I was 15 when I left)
I post on another forum where I post I am about in the middle age wise so I think it is funny that when I come here I am one of the oldest (not that I think I am old though)
1.You can belive that we've screwed up, I'm perfectly happy with the way the world is. Except for there being no more unicorns. I heard they were tasty.
2. Well, it sure has putus on top of the food chain and in the lead of the evolutionary chain, if you belive in that kind of stuff.
1, I also believe that we have screwed up on many occasions and will continue to screw up on many occasions. We are not living in harmony with the environment and are taking much more than we are putting back. If we carry on like what we are now we will destroy all that we enjoy. It might be nice at the moment but it will not be long before it gets very ugly.
2, I do understand what you are saying but I think that the only reason that we are as successful as we are is because of the things that we use (though from my point of view we have gone too far and it has led toward a slightly arrogant attitude towards other animals…which lets not forget it we are) there are plenty of top predators that would easily kill us if we are with out the things that we rely on to protect us and increase our attack abilities. We might have made ourselves the top of the chain but I do not believe that we actually belong there.
I am not a big fan of the 3D animation but I will see what it is like. I will keep an open mind about it though but I do hope that it is funky (fingers crossed)
I strongly believe that the tv series will become one of the greatest of all time!
I hope so as well as I am really looking forward to seeing it
I saw this on the BBC website and I thought it was so sweet
i find this interesting...
when family guy, also created by seth macfarlane, asked to use fetts likeness in an episode(the one where peter had the birdies in his beard). lucas said they could not use the likeness of fett but not the same colors on the helmet. if you recall the helmet was solid grey.(info was on the dvd commentary).
but in american dad, which i actually think is funnier than family guy-they were given permission to use fetts colors as well.
just an observation.
seems like lucas is really loosening his grip as of late. with robot chicken coming down the pipe and such.
That is interesting. He must have just changed his mind. May be like you he prefers American Dad to Family guy
I have not seen American dad yet but I think I will have to catch it at some point (LOL if it is actually being shown over here yet) if it is better than Family guy as I really do not like that.

Urr you can re-load the weapons in his gauntlets. Plus the stuff about leading the Mandalorians jango should have been a much better leader since he grew up with them, Boba was obviosly not going to be a great Mandalore because he knew almost nothing of there culture. But atleast Boba thinks logically about there future.
I think it will be really interesting to see what kind of a Mandalore he will become now that Mirta is in his life.
What I like best about Jango and Boba is dispite their armor, weapons,and sometimes unusual background...They're human,basic average joes.No super human powers just their two hands and some clever thinking.
I agree. That is also why I think that Jango is worthy of being a Fett.
Edited to correct the text that I pasted in wrong.
I have no idea about the different types of weapons (I have almost no experience of weapons and I have been clay pigeon shooting once) so I will give my rather unspecific opinion.
I think it would be fun to see what Boba would think of earth weapons
He would defiantly go for a flame thrower (I have seen pictures of those)
I also think he would go for the weapon that is the most accurate and does the most damage.
As for the vehicle he would go for something that would have room for merchandise, is fast manoeuvrable and of course would be something that he would heavily modify.
I like that. It has the tribal look that the Mythosaur skull on Fett's armour has
here are some of those links Devil Girl.
p.s I like what Devil Girl is saying she seems to know what she's talkng about.
Thank you for the links and thank you
I have managed to have a quick look though them.
I agree with Thylacine. It is more likely that human history is around 10000 years but earth itself is a lot older than that.
I always think that when there is a debate like this one there is always the potential for heated posts.
The earth is only 10,000 years old or less this has been proven just recently. so if they could evolve they would have to do it way way faster then.
Can you give a link to anywhere where it says that please?
That does not seem to make sense though. Humans have had a lot of history but then where would all of the things that happened before we appeared fit in.
Personally I think humans could be in a really good position. We are aware of the damage that we are causing and the consequences of our actions. We could use that do something really good and of course we can learn from our past mistakes.
I personally hate whaling. It is disgusting and barbaric and should never be allowed. The way in which they suffer when they are slaughtered is not acceptable.
I know that the people that do this need jobs but there are other ways and there should be an alternative found for them.
Sadly though Alo trades do come to an end and the people that did those must adapt with the changes. There must be help available so that they can do that. Changes in trades can happen for lots of reasons. It has reminded me of the changes in the mining industry in the UK in the 80's (I do not really remember much about it but there has been a few programmes about it) I will try another link as the last one I posted had a problem with it. It is a link to Wikipedia if you want to read about what happened to the miners. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_miners% … %931985%29
I am sorry but I will never see a way of justifying whaling.
That is funky LOL when I was at school I never even used a computer. They had some computers (I am not sure what type but I do not think they were PC's) but I sadly never got to use them.
I'd hate if that happened.
Me too. It would not be right for Boba to have force abilities.
Thank you IG-88
I think your avatar is cute Alo Fett 8/10

One of the key bits of information we need to display in the education sector are timetables. This could be for learners, tutors or rooms. I wrote my first HTML/Javascript Timetabling interface back in 2002 for ebs (Tribal's further education product) which was a fairly painful mashup of HTML tables and Netscape/IE6 Javascript hacking. It worked but the code wasn't pretty. The time had come to bring the HTML timetable up-to-date and once again, up steps jQuery to make life much, much easier.
Once again I'm using the Twitter Bootstrap component library to provide a nice responsive site so it will display nicely on phone and tablet devices, also catering for touch interfaces very nicely when you can't rely on hover over text.
To see it out for yourself and check out the code then have a look it on our demo site. I've tested it on a number of desktop browsers, iPhone/iPad, Android and Windows Phone devices successfully.
As you can see from the source the lessons/events themselves are just an
<ul> (unordered list) so assistive technologies should be more than happy.
It can also print out ok if the browser is sized right but a few extra css tweaks will be needed to get that fully dialled.

Interview with Tom Hades
Tom Hades is a legendary techno producer, live performer and DJ from Belgium. He has been releasing records since 2001.
Thanks to the people on the Ableton forum for some of these questions. I asked them what they would like to ask a professional producer/DJ who uses Ableton Live.
MacAbleton: Hi Tom, many thanks for sparing the time to talk to us. What have you been up to recently?
Tom: Well, the last months mostly i was occupied playing a bit around the world... So quite nice times ! :)
MacAbleton: Who has influenced you most, and who are you listening to at the moment?
Tom: For me a lot of deep house & melodic tech house tracks are more in my interest of listening at this moment. I somehow started to love some nice productions out there and recently Marco Bailey sent me a link of a track called Time from Pachanga Boys which is for me literally a timeless track ! Pure emotion, just the way i like it. But off course, my heart still stays in the techno scene so as for playing i would never leave my set without a decent techno groove inside ! :)
MacAbleton: Anything you'd like to ask other producers or DJs?
Tom: I guess the most important question for me to other producers & dj's would be what their all-time favorite plugin/software would be.
MacAbleton: How did you get started? How much did you write before you came up with something you felt you could release?
Tom: I got started in a pure experimental way using an Amiga 500 and Octamed Pro tracker software. Along time i started to learn more & more about the different interfaces and protocols out there which led me at a certain moment to be the proud owner of a lot of hardware in the studio. But times change so the last years i guess almost everything is done on computers nowadays with sometimes even a greater effect then what you could have achieved in the studio.
In the studio...
MacAbleton: What is your studio setup? What else do you use in production apart from Live?
Tom: Currently i'm using Ableton Live as my main sequencer sometimes connected in Rewire mode with Reason so i can get the best out of both worlds. I moved 2 years ago to my new place where i made a complete custom made studio using the necessary audio improvements and a couple of good speakers (Dynaudio & Yamaha & Focal). Just the way i wanted it to sound that's the way it sounds now ! :) Sometimes i use some outboard effect gear but usually all is coming from inside my Mac Pro, including my UAD-card...
MacAbleton: Do you know what a track will sound like before you start? What's the first thing you do when you start something new?
Tom : I never start a track with an idea in my mind since my workflow is always experimenting with sounds & effects & resampling until i find something that interests me that much so i can get into the creative part. So the very first thing i do is always kind of jamming around. I also try to not fix myself to fixed looped bars/clips but more to the full length of the track so i can get variations inside during the creative part. Later i may/may not use parts of them.
MacAbleton: How do you split your time between sound design, writing the basic parts, arrangement, mixing, etc? Do you tend to mix as you write or get ideas down quickly and sort it out later?
Tom: Sound design is actually the very first part, then i usually start to find the different arrangement parts by adding/removing clips/instruments/sounds. At a later stage i will take all the different elements to start the complete arrangement in the Ableton arrangement view and as last one i will start to mix the parts together so they merge smoothly. I usually start to do some arrangement but let the idea rest for a while before i get back to it. Usually when i get back i start to remove a lot of parts because i get another impression of the track.
MacAbleton: Do you have a signature technique that you find yourself using all the time? (as in something a bit unusual). How do you balance between getting variation, and establishing a sound that is yours?
Tom : I usually start to find a good bassline using the unusual parts to build it like percussion elements (even hihats). That way i get a groovy, yet darker bassline which gives me the right direction of the track. I don't know if i can call it "mine" but i know that i like to use a lot... As to the part of being/becoming "my sound" i guess my ears are reacting otherwise to mixing elements than other producers so eventually you always get to "your sound".
MacAbleton: What are your favourite features in Live?
Tom: One of my favorite features in Live must be the ability to use the grouped tracks/effects/... . Since you can get very very creative when looping and never ending the application makes Live for me the preferred electronic jamming tool. A must have for producers who want to "search & find" the correct sounds without repeatly having to click start/stop/start/stop.
MacAbleton: How important do you think music theory is, for making dance music?
Tom: Music theory is not really important for dance music because you just need to feel if the sounds and other elements are actually fitting together. It is always nice to have some basic background on how to play nice chords but it is not a necessity.
MacAbleton: How do you get your sounds? People always want to know where to get a kick, bass and so on, or how to make them.
Tom: My sounds are sometimes coming from the most strange parts/samples which you would probably never use to produce a bass or a kick. For example: why not use a pitched kick, filtered, distorted, eq'd, filtered again, compressed & sidechained so that it becomes eventually a bass line ? The most important thing to produce unique sounds is to split the original up as much as you can and use the different parts to re-create something really original. Live can give you all of these options, again without ever needing to stop the sequencer! :)
Performing live...
MacAbleton: What is your DJ setup and method? Do you use Ableton Live for DJ sets?
Tom: My current dj-setup is with Native Instruments Traktor Scratch Pro 2 using timecode & cd-players. I add the Traktor X1 as for quick access to the software and the use of the internal effects. Ableton Live is something i never used for my dj-sets but i guess it should be a perfect tool because of the brilliant time-stretching method inside. Plus you can use the third party effects which makes it even more powerfull.
MacAbleton: Same question, but actual gigging. I know you have gigged with live musicians. Can you tell us a bit about that?
Tom: Until about 4-5 years ago i used to do only live performances. There i used almost all the time Ableton for performing in combination with outboard gear connected with a midi interface. This way i could use older gear like Roland TR909 and Roland Juno 106. Really cool in combination with a good sax player at a venue like Nature One equals firework ! :) The nice thing on using Live for this is that you can actually build/re-build your complete track using separate clips and using effects for transition, build up and break downs.
MacAbleton: Have you had any spectacular equipment failures when playing live? If so, how did you deal with it/them?
Tom: Off course, when doing stuff live using midi gear you can experience the known "midi-loop-failure". This means that the famous Midi Panic button must be in hand reach because otherwise you can get a huge build up but never be able to break it down again. :) Another known issue at that moment was that laptops where not that strong and so they could hardly cope the heat of a packed club so eventually they just stop working. The only thing you can do is either have a backup procedure (like a cd ready in a cd player) either start singing a song ... :)
Future plans...
MacAbleton: What advice would you give to people starting out?
Tom: My only & best advice what i could give is that you should always be very critical for yourself and your work. Make sure once you want to send over a demo to a label that your track could easily fit a mix with existing tracks from one of your favorite label(s) as well as that you would put out your track in every set you would/could do! Dedication is very important so review your track as much as possible. Nowadays you can save every version without being destructive, in the past the only thing what you could do is taking pictures of the mixing desk hoping you can get back to the original track...
MacAbleton: What are you up to next? And what are your long term plans/goals?
Tom: As for long term : keep on going ! :) I want to build the label to grow bigger & better. I want to release on some other major labels which i love to play out as well. Techno for live ! :)
MacAbleton: Thanks very much for talking to us!
Tom: It was my pleasure ! Hopefully i inspired enough people so we can go on for generations & generations ! :)

biographical information
Melanie Brewster, Assistant Professor of Psychology and Education at Columbia University, earned her Ph.D from the University of Florida. Her research focuses on marginalized groups and examines how experiences of discrimination and stigma may shape the mental health of minority group members (e.g., LGBTQ individuals, atheists, people of color). Dr. Brewster also examines potential resilience factors, such as bicultural self-efficacy and cognitive flexibility, that may promote the mental health of minority individuals. To date, most of her research has centered on the experiences of sexual minority people. Specifically, Dr. Brewster has focused on groups who occupy the "margins of marginalized populations" -- including bisexual individuals, queer people of color, and transgender persons. Her first book, Atheists in America, is due out June 2014 from Columbia University Press.

EDWARD WHITE [2nd]
The name which Mr. White bears is one which has been long and honorably associated with the history of California. His father, William F. White, a pioneer of the Pajaro valley, was born in county Limerick, Ireland, in 1816, being a son of Edward [1st] and Ellen (Griffin) White.
When four years of age he was brought to America by his parents and settled in Chenango Point (now Binghamton), N. Y., but later removed to Susquehanna county, Pa., where the parents attained to advanced years and passed away. The mother was a sister of Gerald Griffin, the poet (born 1803, died 1840). Through successive generations it has been noticeable that many of the family have inherited eloquence of speech, others have inherited the power to express thoughts in vivid and rhythmic language such as the Irish poet used, while still others have shown commercial talents of a high order.
The education of William F. White was completed in Oxford (N. Y.) Academy. He became a commercial traveler for a New York firm and traveled through the southern states. On one of his trips he met Frances J. Russell of Savannah, Gal, whom he afterward married. About the time of their marriage the gold fever broke out and he and his wife decided to join the argonauts for the far west. Proceeding to New York, they secured passage with Captain Hamilton and in January of 1849 started around Cape Horn for San Francisco. On board were some three hundred passengers, among whom Mrs. White was the only woman. They endured the hardships of a voyage of six months, during which water failed and the passengers were put on a limited supply. Incipient rebellion arose, but was promptly suppressed, and in June the ship entered the harbor of the Golden Gate. Among the passengers were many college students, wholly unused to hardships and illy fitted to cope with the difficulties confronting pioneers of the coast. Some of these, finding only a few small buildings instead of a "Golden" city, did not leave the vessel, but applied to the captain for work to defray the expenses of the return journey. As the crew had all deserted for the mines, the captain was obliged to take such help as he could get, and so availed himself of the ex-students and outfitted his vessel for the long return journey.
It had not been Mr. White's intention to follow mining, and. he at once embarked in mercantile pursuits with D. J. Oliver and J. R. McGlynn. In I852 he sold his interest and purchased a part of the Sul Si Puedes rancho, in connection with E. Kelley, E. Casserly, J. R. McGlynn, W. W. Stowe, William Davidson and Mr. Blair, a tract of thirty-two thousand acres being bought for $40,000. Subsequently the land was divided and W. F. White became owner of three thousand shares. On this estate he erected the first substantial house built in the vicinity. As there were no sawmills in this country, the lumber used in the construction of the house was brought from Maine. On the land he had cattle and conducted a dairy, continuing for some years, then retiring to San Francisco. The ranch is now owned by Judge G. M. Bockius.
To a man of Mr. White's active temperament and patriotic spirit an interest in local politics and national problems was characteristic and constant. In 1878 he was elected a member of the constitutional convention, and later received from Governor Irwin an appointment as bank commissioner of the state. He died at his residence in Oakland, Cal., in May, 1890, aged seventy-four years. His widow is still living and makes her home with her daughters in San Francisco. Their children were named as follows: Ellen (who died in infancy); Mary, Edward, Stephen M., Ellen, Genevieve, Rhoda, Lillie and Fannie.
The second son, Hon. Stephen Mallory White, was born in San Francisco in 1853, and received his education in Santa Clara College, graduating in 1872. He studied law with Hon. Charles B. Younger of Santa Cruz and was admitted to the state bar in 1873, after which he went to Los Angeles to practice. Old lawyers, remembering the days of their youth, can imagine his position, among strangers, without influence or prestige, yet undertaking the difficult feat of gaining a foothold. There was much in his favor, as he was an eloquent speaker, a fluent writer and a quick debater. Yet even with these talents there seemed no opening. For six months he struggled along, then decided it was useless to wait longer and began to think removing elsewhere. After his mind was fully made up to investigate other towns, a man invited him to deliver an address at the celebration of St. Patrick's day, March I7. Having decided to leave, he first declined; but, on being importuned, consented to remain and speak. At the conclusion of his able address to a very large assembly he was congratulated by hundreds and was told by many that he had opened a road to fame. This event changed his entire future. He remained, soon won a case, and from that day on had as large a practice as he could handle. An honorable service as district attorney was followed by his election to the United States senate, where his efforts in behalf of the San Pedro harbor bill gave him national prominence. The arduous work of the office undermined his health and while still a young man he died in February of 1899 [1901]. His wife, Hortense, nee Sacriste, is the mother of four children William, Gerald, Hortense E. and Estelle.
The eldest son of William F. White was Edward White, born in San Francisco June 25, 1851, and educated in Santa Clara College. In 1874 he began for himself by renting farm land and later bought Calabasa rancho [Rancho la Laguna de las Calabazas] of two thousand acres, where he engaged in the dairy business and developed a fruit industry. At this writing eight hundred acres of the tract are in his possession. Much of the property is set out in apples, apricots, cherries and various small fruits, and there is also a dairy of fifty Durham cows. In 1889 he moved his family to Watsonville, where he has since made his home. His wife, Annie, is a daughter of John Royse, a pioneer of Pajaro valley, and they have six children, Edward, Jr., Ellen, Stephen, Lucille, Raymond and William. Another son was lost in infancy. The family are members of the Roman Catholic Church.
Associated with William Dehart, under the firm title of White & Dehart, in 1895 Mr. White established a large lumber mill, but this was soon developed into a box manufactory, his interest in which he recently sold. In November of 1899 he was elected county supervisor and at this writing he is also a trustee of the Agnew insane asylum, under appointment from Governor Gage. The reputation which his father established has been maintained by himself, and in every respect he has proved himself an able business man, a capable financier and a progressive citizen.

Rx drug information, pharmaceutical research, clinical trials, news, and more
ACTIMMUNE ® (Interferon gamma-1b), a biologic response modifier, is a single-chain polypeptide containing 140 amino acids. Production of ACTIMMUNE is achieved by fermentation of a genetically engineered Escherichia coli bacterium containing the DNA which encodes for the human protein. Purification of the product is achieved by conventional column chromatography. ACTIMMUNE is a highly purified sterile solution consisting of non-covalent dimers of two identical 16,465 dalton monomers; with a specific activity of 20 million International Units (IU)/mg (2 × 106 IU per 0.5 mL) which is equivalent to 30 million units/mg.
ACTIMMUNE is a sterile, clear, colorless solution filled in a single-dose vial for subcutaneous injection. Each 0.5 mL of ACTIMMUNE contains: 100 mcg (2 million IU) of Interferon gamma-1b formulated in 20 mg mannitol, 0.36 mg sodium succinate, 0.05 mg polysorbate 20 and Sterile Water for Injection. Note that the above activity is expressed in International Units (1 million IU/50mcg). This is equivalent to what was previously expressed as units (1.5 million U/50mcg).
Interferons are a family of functionally related, species-specific, proteins synthesized by eukaryotic cells in response to viruses and a variety of natural and synthetic stimuli. The most striking differences between interferon-gamma and other classes of interferon concern the immunomodulatory properties of this molecule. While gamma, alpha and beta interferons share certain properties, interferon-gamma has potent phagocyte-activating effects not seen with other interferon preparations. These effects include the generation of toxic oxygen metabolites within phagocytes in vitro, which are capable of mediating the intracellular killing of selected microorganisms such as Staphylococcus aureus, Toxoplasma gondii, Leishmania donovani, Listeria monocytogenes, and Mycobacterium avium intracellulare.
Clinical studies in patients using interferon-gamma, have revealed a broad range of biological activities including the enhancement of the oxidative metabolism of tissue macrophages, enhancement of antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and natural killer (NK) cell activity. Additionally, effects on Fc receptor expression on monocytes and major histocompatibility antigen expression have been noted. 1,2
To the extent that interferon-gamma is produced by antigen-stimulated T lymphocytes and regulates the activity of immune cells, it is appropriate to characterize interferon-gamma as a lymphokine of the interleukin type. There is growing evidence that interferon-gamma interacts functionally with other interleukin molecules such as interleukin-2 and that all of the interleukins form part of a complex, lymphokine regulatory network.3 For example, interferon-gamma and interleukin-4 appear to reciprocally interact to regulate murine IgE levels; interferon-gamma can suppress IgE levels in humans. 4,5 Interferon-gamma also inhibits the production of collagen at the transcription level in human systems. 6
With respect to Chronic Granulomatous Disease (an inherited disorder characterized by deficient phagocyte oxidative metabolism), pilot clinical trials of the systemic administration of ACTIMMUNE in patients with Chronic Granulomatous Disease provided evidence for a treatment-related enhancement of phagocyte function including elevation of superoxide levels and improved killing of Staphylococcus aureus. 7,8
In severe, malignant osteopetrosis (another inherited disorder characterized by an osteoclast defect leading to bone overgrowth and deficient phagocyte oxidative metabolism),9 a treatment-related enhancement of superoxide production by phagocytes was observed in situ.10 ACTIMMUNE was found to enhance osteoclast function in vitro.11,12
The intravenous, intramuscular, and subcutaneous pharmacokinetics of ACTIMMUNE have been investigated in 24 healthy male subjects following single-dose administration of 100 mcg/m2. ACTIMMUNE is rapidly cleared after intravenous administration (1.4 liters/minute) and slowly absorbed after intramuscular or subcutaneous injection. After intramuscular or subcutaneous injection, the apparent fraction of dose absorbed was greater than 89%. The mean elimination half-life after intravenous administration of 100 mcg/m2 in healthy male subjects was 38 minutes. The mean elimination half-lives for intramuscular and subcutaneous dosing with 100 mcg/m2 were 2.9 and 5.9 hours, respectively. Peak plasma concentrations, determined by ELISA, occurred approximately 4 hours (1.5 ng/mL) after intramuscular dosing and 7 hours (0.6 ng/mL) after subcutaneous dosing. Multiple dose subcutaneous pharmacokinetic studies were conducted in 38 healthy male subjects. There was no accumulation of ACTIMMUNE after 12 consecutive daily injections of 100 mcg/m2. Pharmacokinetic studies in patients with Chronic Granulomatous Disease have not been performed.
Trace amounts of interferon-gamma were detected in the urine of squirrel monkeys following intravenous administration of 500 mcg/kg. Interferon-gamma was not detected in the urine of healthy human volunteers following administration of 100 mcg/m2 of ACTIMMUNE by the intravenous, intramuscular and subcutaneous routes. In vitro perfusion studies utilizing rabbit livers and kidneys demonstrate that these organs are capable of clearing interferon-gamma from perfusate. Studies of the administration of interferon-gamma to nephrectomized mice and squirrel monkeys demonstrate a reduction in clearance of interferon-gamma from blood; however, prior nephrectomy did not prevent elimination.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of ACTIMMUNE (Interferon gamma-1b) in patients with Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD), was performed to determine whether ACTIMMUNE administered subcutaneously on a three times weekly schedule could decrease the incidence of serious infectious episodes and improve existing infectious and inflammatory conditions in patients with Chronic Granulomatous Disease. One hundred twenty-eight eligible patients were enrolled on this study including patients with different patterns of inheritance. Most patients received prophylactic antibiotics. Patients ranged in age from 1 to 44 years with the mean age being 14.6 years. The study was terminated early following demonstration of a highly statistically significant benefit of ACTIMMUNE therapy compared to placebo with respect to time to serious infection (p=0.0036), the primary endpoint of the investigation. Serious infection was defined as a clinical event requiring hospitalization and the use of parenteral antibiotics. The final analysis provided further support for the primary endpoint (p=0.0006). There was a 67 percent reduction in relative risk of serious infection in patients receiving ACTIMMUNE (n=63) compared to placebo (n=65). Additional supportive evidence of treatment benefit included a twofold reduction in the number of primary serious infections in the ACTIMMUNE group (30 on placebo versus 14 on ACTIMMUNE, p=0.002) and the total number and rate of serious infections including recurrent events (56 on placebo versus 20 on ACTIMMUNE, p=<0.0001). Moreover, the length of hospitalization for the treatment of all clinical events provided evidence highly supportive of an ACTIMMUNE treatment benefit. Placebo patients required three times as many inpatient hospitalization days for treatment of clinical events compared to patients receiving ACTIMMUNE (1493 versus 497 total days, p=0.02). An ACTIMMUNE treatment benefit with respect to time to serious infection was consistently demonstrated in all subgroup analyses according to stratification factors, including pattern of inheritance, use of prophylactic antibiotics, as well as age. There was a 67 percent reduction in relative risk of serious infection in patients receiving ACTIMMUNE compared to placebo across all groups. The beneficial effect of ACTIMMUNE therapy was observed throughout the entire study, in which the mean duration of ACTIMMUNE administration was 8.9 months/patient.
A controlled, randomized study in patients with severe, malignant osteopetrosis was conducted with ACTIMMUNE administered subcutaneously three times weekly. Sixteen patients were randomized to receive either ACTIMMUNE plus calcitriol (n=11), or calcitriol alone (n=5). Patients ranged in age from 1 month to 8 years, mean 1.5 years. Treatment failure was considered to be disease progression as defined by 1) death, 2) significant reduction in hemoglobin or platelet counts, 3) a serious bacterial infection requiring antibiotics, or 4) a 50 dB decrease in hearing or progressive optic atrophy. The median time to disease progression was significantly delayed in the ACTIMMUNE plus calcitriol arm versus calcitriol alone. In the treatment arm, the median was not reached. Based on the observed data, however, the median time to progression in this arm was at least 165 days versus a median of 65 days in the calcitriol alone arm. In an analysis which combined data from a second study, 19 of 24 patients treated with ACTIMMUNE plus or minus calcitriol for at least 6 months had reduced trabecular bone volume compared to baseline.

We also took part last year. Cleaned the whole woods side of the road on South Branch Parkway. 1 month later the tornado and changed everything. We will be out of town this year and unable to attend, but it does feel good. And it should be in our thoughts year-around.
"He was charged with possession of heroin, for having four empty wax bags containing heroin residue, possession of suboxone, a narcotic medication available only by prescription, of which he had one and a half pills, three doses of muscle relaxant cyclobenzaprine, which is available only by prescription, and driving with a suspended license.
He denied the charges at his arraignment in Northampton District Court and was released on his own recognizance and ordered to appear in court April 25."
Why do people just get released? It makes no sense. Innocent until proven guilty, but they were found with all of this on their person. They get released and move on to other crimes. This rant has nothing to do with who Morse is, just that people get released to roam free too easily and cause other trouble.
Got the email directly from the Cathedral alumni group about this. Good luck to the diocese to get the amount they need to rebuild the school efficiently. We don't want it to permanently leave the area and the school was way overdue for an upgrade and technological improvements.
Yup seen about 15 new trees. Still garbage everywhere. As we take months and years to debate new buildings, nothing is being done NOW to prevent further things from happening. We'll have a nice building over here, but a polluted lake and swans still eating building debrees.
WRNX had been the station I keep going back to. I'll listen to almost anything, rock stations, pop, hiphop, including a recent interest in country, (ironic right), but I would always turn back to WRNX for some comfort. You knew exactly what kind of quality chill music would be played and this was stuff you didn't hear anywhere else. Or when I crossed into Northampton or Amherst I would just feel a fresh since of relief and calm and switch over the dial. Most of my doctors and dentist offices played it in the exam rooms. You knew what you were getting out of the valley :). It will be missed. I do enjoy KIX and am happy for their success, but it won't ever be the same. I'll keep searching or hoping for a replacement.
I hope whomever it is gets caught and punished. There is a pretty close correlation between someone who hurts or tortures animals and then moves on to worse crimes in the future.
Excellent news. Manny has had a great career. The game on Sunday was exciting and I have high hopes for the team this year, much higher than the parent club, ugh Mason is killing me in fantasy so far.
I haven't decided if I'm attending this one. I was passionate the first time around and now I'm starting to feel like it's a waste of my time. Will it actually matter in the end? Like I said above, I attended the Holy Cross meeting, spoke on the mic, gave my concerns and focused on one key theme "communication", to the residents and all involved once they figure out a plan, and the newspaper and reminder later showed the graphic that was created by the city including everyone's ideas, the word "communication" was not part of the graphic.
They already did this once, before hiring Concordia. Thats a bit annoying. That input was supposed to be used for the master plan. Now they are doing it again? With the same forum and input? I don't think many people are going to show up the 2nd time around and say the same thing over again. And then we'll be labeled as not caring and not concerned with the city. I was part of the Holy Cross sit down and it was a powerful and emotional meeting. They should have been there in that moment or see a video of it. I understand the new company and group in charge want to do their own fact finding but I'd like to see better organization from this city.
I have a picture. A friend of mine was at the dock or tackle place when it came in and sent it around to a few friends. I can't find a way to upload so i made it my profile picture. He told me national news was showing up and I didn't believe him, haha
