If you're a fan of Doctor Who, then you probably remember when The Doctor pulled out a piece of the TARDIS from the crack in the wall. After being bored on the internet and stumbling upon this necklace on etsy, I thought "hey, that looks simple, I bet I could make one!" And I did. And so I shall share the wisdom I have gained from many travels across time and space from the making of this necklace, and perhaps you to shall make one, as an awesome fashion piece or fandom statement. And without further ado, let's get started!
Step 1: Materials
For this you will need:
• wood (about 3mm thick)
• blue paint (I used acrylic)
• white paint (I used acrylic)
• black paint (again, I used acrylic)
• hacksaw/jeweler saw or scroll saw
• clear coat (optional)
• small paint brush
• drill
• knife or razor blade
Step 2: Sketching Out A Design
As seen in the first picture, I drew on the wood a shape similar to the etsy necklace. Just use a pencil and draw on a shape that resembles the TARDIS fragment. Once you're happy with the look of your "time" piece (ha-ha!) cut it out.
Step 3: Cleaning Up
After you cut it out, you may want to fine tune your TARDIS fragment. Grab some rough sand paper (I used 80 grit) and clean it up and make it look more like how it does in the photos.
Step 4: Detailing
Now comes the time to detail it! As you probably noticed, you could see to little Notches in the necklace that was supposed to be like a frame for the sign. Cut these out (refer to the pictures). Once you're done, rough them up with the sand paper.
Looks fantastic! Great work!
great idea with making the jump rings. i'm gonna make me some.
Thanks! Yeah, the jump rings can be really handy at times, it's a good thing to know!
Thank You!
Thanks! Glad you liked them :D
Love the result!!

"For John it's not about the money, it's about how to use resources for positive impact," says Alec Webb, president of Shelburne Farms. "If the rest of the 1% had the values and attitudes he has, that would bode well for the future," he adds.
Indeed, Abele sees his life's work, including Boston Scientific with its medical advances, as all in the service of what he calls "for-profit philanthropy," and he rejects the notion that for-profit ventures are intrinsically less honorable than not-for-profit ones. His venture investments, he points out, are in potential "change the world" businesses. Among them: Joule Unlimited, a bioenergy company that converts waste CO 2 into fuels (it's way ahead of algae products, he says); Knowledgehook, a Canadian company developing a "next generation learning" Web tool for teachers to interact with students online; and Tal Medical, which is developing a device that uses magnetic stimulation to treat depression.
He's had hits and misses, he says. One winner: Abele was an early investor (and on the board of) Color Kinetics, which pioneered the use of colorful but energy-saving LED lights to illuminate everything from the Empire State Building to hospital rooms. Abele himself installed Kinetics' rainbow-colored lights in a sanctuary he had built on the farm, All Souls Interfaith Gathering, run by his wife, Mary, a pastor. Kinetics was acquired by Philips in 2007 for $791 million.
At gatherings with his three children and eight grandchildren (ages 1 to 14) Abele is the kid who loves to show off his gadgets. Among his latest toys: a thought-controlled helicopter (he swears it works). He drops Terrafugia's flying car and Ray Kurzweil's artificial brain project for Google into his stream-of-consciousness conversation. "I'm a nonlinear thinker," he says.
Despite his still packed schedule, Abele acknowledges signs that he is aging. A bad hip and limp have forced him to give up tennis and windsurfing. "I'll have to have an exoskeleton developed," he jests, climbing up the stairs into a hayloft turned archive in an old barn on the property that stores 35 years' worth of Boston Scientific ephemera, devices that made it to market and those that didn't. He nostalgically picks up a remote-controlled steering catheter–a relic from his first big change-the-world act.

This is a new version on an old puzzle. Invented by Sam Loyd 1841-1911. The puzzle is placed on a buttonhole and seems impossible to remove. This is where the term buttonholed (to get someone's attention) came from.
Step 1: Materials and Tools
I used para cord and some copper pipe 1/4 O.D. x 5/32 I.D.
The main thing is to pick something small enough to fit thru a buttonhole.
Something to cut the para cord. A hot knife would work best, I used the knife on the Multi-tool.
Something to fuse the ends of the para cord. I used a lighter and a candle.
Something to cut the pipe. A pipe cutter or hacksaw. I used the saw on the Multi-tool.
Something to smooth the pipe, after cutting. I used the file on the Mulit-tool and fine sandpaper.
Something to crimp (Smash) the pipe. Pliers, hammer, press, clamp whatever, not your teeth.
Step 2: Cut the pipe
You will need to cut the pipe 2 inches long. If you get your pipe from the local plumbing supply store, tell them you need a few two inch long pieces of 1/4 inch pipe. They will think you are crazy and probably not charge you for it. Remember to make an extra puzzle to give to the guy at the plumbing store, even if he does charge you. Karma is something that goes around and good karma travels faster.
Step 3: Smooth edges of pipe
Smooth the outside and inside edges of the pipe. Use a file followed by sandpaper. If you role the sandpaper into a cone shape it gets the inside nicely. Note in the pictures that the puzzles are assembled, you should smooth both ends before assembling the puzzle, I just forgot to take pictures till after wards.
Step 4: Cut para cord
Cut the para cord to 5 inches long. I like to use a lit candle to cut and seal the cord at the same time. You could even cut the cord with another cord http://www.instructables.com/id/Cutting-cord-without-a-knife/ whatever works for you.
just another idea for sourcing tube
I made one of your puzzles and i was really funny to see how easily my friends got frustrated
Thanks for the comment,
slightly on topic, What brand of multi-tool is shown in step 7?
The multi-tool is a blacked-out Leatherman Charge. My favorite of many different multi-tools that I own. Black looks cool but if you drop it in the woods, it is very hard to find.
Make a pen version. If someone asks what is sticking out of the top of your pen, there is your chance to puzzle someone.
Let me know what you come up with,
Thanks for the comment,
Put an ink cartridge into it, and always have something to write with.
Cheap enough to give to friends and strangers.
Let me know what you come up with,
Well done 'ible! Great job.
Win Guy
Thanks for the comment,
I just made one! I think I should have made it a little longer, though. Nevertheless, I tested it and it does work and baffles everyone, every time! There should be a picture below, I ended up photocopying it.
Win Guy
Have fun,
Thanks for the comment.
Thanks for the reply.

When I headed into the game this week to do this column, both Krystalle and Lisa (who usually does GotS) warned me that it was rough out there, and that players weren't really into chatting with random people about what they thought about the past week in Warcraft. But I have to say -- the denizens of Cenarius treated me as well as can be expected. I logged in on my level 30 mage Erban, sent out a tell in /Trade (sorry for spamming, Cenarius-ians), and pretty soon I got two nice players to chat with me. We talked mostly about what they'd been up to in game, what they're looking ahead to with patch 2.4, whether Noblegarden sucks (spoiler: it does), and just how much they'd pay (or their guild would charge) for that Zul'aman bear mount.
Read on to see our conversations.
I wasn't able to get Jonwayne's picture, unfortunately (he was in Stormwind, and I was in Ironforge, and I didn't realize until after I stopped bothering him that I'd probably need a good pic), but he seemed like a nice enough guy. He plays as a priest in Ascension on Cenarius' Alliance side.
WI: What have you been up to ingame lately?
Jonwayne: Mostly endgame raiding: Karazhan, SSC, Gruul's, and Mag's lair.
Have you downed Gruul or Mag yet? What are you up to now?
I have downed Gruul. We've gotten Mag to about 20%.
Have you guys tried Zul'Aman yet?
I've been in once, downed 3/6 bosses so far.
Nice. Are you excited for patch 2.4? When do you think it'll drop?
Yeah, I'm excited. Looking forward to cleave not hitting CC targets -- makes my life easier when shackling. I believe it'll drop most likely this Tuesday or the one after, due to the trailer being released. Same as 2.3.
What about Noblegarden? Are you into that at all?
=\ lol. Nah.
It seems like the dumbest of the holidays to me. And it's not like there's going to be anything new.
Halloween and Xmas are the best ones. And will always be.
Agreed. Anything else you've been doing in game?
Just working towards Black Temple. I'm an altaholic also, so you know the deal.
What are your alts?
33 Hunter, 27 Warrior, 19 Rogue, 29 Druid. Mostly twinks.
Wow, yeah you do keep busy. Any shoutouts you want to give out?
My guild, Ascension. They cared for me since I was level 30 and brought me up. I owe a lot to them.
What are you raiding with them as? Holy?
Shadow, baby!
O RLY. And you have pallys healing for you then?
Mixed bag, really. Restos and holy pallys and priests. Mostly resto druids. Love the trees.
What, no shamans?
A few.
Good. I'm a resto shammy on my main.
Thanks for chatting, appreciate it.
Yep, no problem, was my pleasure.
And right as I finished up with Jon, I saw a human rogue run by on a Zul'Aman bear mount. I haven't seen too many of them in game (although it seems like there's been more lately), so I chased the rogue down, and also got to talk to...
Xyrana, 70 Human Rogue, member of Fuze
WI: Hey you have a second?
Xyrana: Sup?
You ever heard of WoW Insider?
No, what's that?
WoWInsider.com. It's a blog about WoW.
I'm from there and was wondering if you'd have a few seconds to chat for an interview.
Sure, go for it.
I like your mount, when did you get it?
About three weeks ago or so.
Are you guys farming ZA then?
We've gotten a bear mount in ten of our last ten tries. So, yes.
Wow. Did you hear about the girl who bought a bear mount this last week?
Nope. How much did she pay?
Haha. She paid 20,000g.
You guys should charge that. Bring someone with you on the run and give it to them for gold.
I'm sure Fuze would sell one for that amount.
What else are you up to in game?
We've had every 25 man on farm since October.
Wow. So you must be ready for Sunwell then.
Yeah, we should blow through it.
Did you get on the PTR at all? How'd you do there?
Yeah, we had two hours of attempts on M'uru. We did pretty good, but the PTR is just unstable.
Like it crashed on you?
Yeah, it'll crash quite frequently.
I see the "Rival" title you've got -- you do PvP, or are you just a raider?
I PvP for fun, really. But I have all the gear and 5k points already.
Haha so you guys have beat the game. So why are you still playing?
We gear up alts and stuff. And the Sunwell is due next week.
Should be fun. Can I get a shot of you on your mount?
Sure, let me put on my raid gear.
Thanks very much to everyone on Cenarius for letting me spam them, and especially to Jonwayne and Xyrana for chatting with me. Keep an eye out for Gamers on the Street on your realm -- you never know when WoW Insider will show up to interview you.
More interviews with World of Warcraft players from 15 Minutes of Fame. Plus, Lisa Poisso logs on to the WoW servers every week to ask players what's on their mind in Gamers on the Street.

Identity Theft Technologies
Answer by Kristine Regele, CAMS, Sr. Compliance Analyst - ChoicePoint
If identity theft is apparently on the decline, then why does the "buzz" continue?
Although some measures indicate the rates of identity theft are declining, there is no question that identity theft remains a significant problem in the United States.
For the seventh straight year, identity theft topped the FTC's list of consumer complaints
. Identity theft reportedly costs American businesses and consumers $50 billion a year, impacting nearly 10 million U.S. victims annually
. In fact, approximately 23,000 people become victims of identity theft
every day
Financial institutions bear much of the costs that result from identity theft, and every day they face the challenge of managing identity risk in order to control overall fraud losses. Investing in technologies and systems to manage identity risk across an enterprise can provide significant returns by reducing fraud loss.
Identity risk management can also support your bottom line by helping prevent non-compliance. In 2007, the FTC and the federal financial institution regulatory agencies released final rules regarding identity theft and the "red flags" that can help indicate the existence of identity theft. Beginning in 2008, financial institutions and creditors are required to adopt a written identity theft prevention program.
Another reason to manage identity risk is the potential for reputational damage through negative press. During the last week of February, a report was issued "compar[ing] institutions on their performance in avoiding identity theft."
The premise is this: when consumers they see how well (or how poorly) certain financial institutions are doing, they can "vote with their feet' and choose safer institutions."
Certainly, no bank would want to be known for a high incidence of identity theft!
In each of these examples, technology can be used to help manage identity risk. A bank might use technology to verify that a person exists. For example, the bank may scan the identification information provided by the customer against public records. A bank might also use technology to verify that the identification documents are not forged. Further, personnel might validate that the person opening an account is in fact the owner of the identification documents (as opposed to someone opening an account using information from a stolen wallet, for instance). Technology might also be deployed to authenticate persons as they try to access their accounts after account opening. A familiar case is one in which call center employees ask "knowledge-based" questions prior to initiating a transaction. The concept behind knowledge-based quizzes is that only the true owner of the identity is likely to know the correct answer. They can include questions like, "In what year was your Social Security number issued?" or "Which of the following cars have you owned?"
As stated above, an investment in technologies and systems to manage identity risk across an enterprise can provide significant returns by reducing fraud loss. The best way to determine the technologies or strategies that will work best for you is to begin by conducting a risk analysis (or carefully reviewing your existing risk analysis). When you design a risk management program, your mitigation efforts should align with the risks and vulnerabilities identified in the risk analysis. The degree to which you deploy technology should be reasonable, given the nature and complexity of the risks. Once you understand the efforts necessary to manage your risk, you are in a good position to select technology that can assist you with those efforts and provide significant return on your investment.

What does SWG have to do with The Anvil of Crom? Admittedly not much, unless you count the fact that AoC was the first of many games I migrated to when taking extended breaks from SWG beginning in 2008. The game's demise did get me to thinking on MMOs as a whole though, and of course Funcom's fantasy title in particular.
While it may seem like an obvious conclusion in some respects, the fact that MMO players are ultimately no more than renters living on borrowed time was a sobering thought.
The Secret World runs over budget. Maybe Unrated slips through the free-to-play cracks and doesn't bring in as many warm and paying bodies as Funcom intended. Maybe Funcom hires SOE's security gurus and some amoral neckbeard collective makes off with thousands of credit card numbers. Maybe, since Conan is a licensed property, some lawyerly B.S. ensues and fans are forced to grab their ankles as a result.
Who knows why, and for purposes of this week's hypothetical, it doesn't even matter. If AoC was going away, though, what would you do? Would you stick it out to the bitter end and try to wring what fun you could out of the time left?
Would you work feverishly on an emulator (assuming you're a talented code monkey, or know someone who is)? Would you start searching for a similar fantasy MMO and begin the migration? Would you spend more time with your family, volunteer at your favorite charity, or dust off a long-forgotten hobby?
I know that some of you would no doubt raise a celebratory glass, the better to cheer the long-hoped for death of a game that somehow wronged you in the past (and hey, the lingering cries of "fail" would actually mean something at that point). For fans of the game though, there's not much that could be done other than the steps I outlined above.
And that's a real shame.
For as much time as we spend on this crazy hobby and the various virtual worlds that it encompasses, almost all of what we do exists solely in our minds past a certain point. Sure we make websites, visit forums, and occasionally even organize real-world meet-ups with folks we've fought alongside in game, but for the most part, what happens in Hyboria stays in Hyboria (and in fleeting pixel form), whether we want it to or not. We are, in most respects, completely powerless and subject to the whims of our digital landlords.
That tier III city that you and your guild spent months grinding nodes and stockpiling materials to build? It's not yours, it's Funcom's, and no amount of virtual sweat will change the fact that it could disappear tomorrow with nothing but a "sorry for your inconvenience" and a handful of screenshots to show for your efforts.
The Brittle Blade armor set you've finally donned after months of hard faction grinding? Yeah, Fraps that puppy because you may or may not have access to it next month.
The cynical among you are probably saying "well duh, of course we don't own any of these pixels, Jef, did you really think we did?" The answer to that is no, I'm fully aware of the various terms of service we all click (and ignore) to get to our games.
I find it curious, though, that most of these games are largely acquisition-driven affairs designed to give tangible feelings of reward for attaining what is essentially meaningless ether. The primary purpose of something like AoC (or EverQuest II, or World of Warcraft, or Runes of Magic, or insert-random-MMO-here) is the collection of skills, abilities, gear, and achievements -- none of which belong to the people who spend years of their lives collecting them.
Has there ever been a more bizarre pastime?
Sure, I know grown men who have rooms in their houses devoted to action figures, and MMO achievement-whoring is markedly similar to the stockpiling of baseball cards, autographs, and any other memorabilia of questionable (and artificially inflated) worth. There's one very relevant difference, though, and that is the fact that none of the MMO stuff exists outside of the ones and zeroes on a company game server. And yet we spend thousands of hours (and dollars) on it just the same.
I guess AoC's uncertain future wouldn't bother me as much if I had some actual control over Hyboria, or failing that, some sort of inkling as to how long the servers were going to be open (but then I suppose the future wouldn't be uncertain and I'd have to go back and rewrite the first part of this sentence).
At the risk of getting too philosophical here, I wonder how many of us would continue to play Age of Conan (or any MMORPG) if we knew when it was going to end. It is going to end, of course, whether it's next week, next year, or next decade, and when it does end, I'll wager there will be people who feel they could have done just a little bit more.
Such is the nature of the carrot chase, and really, life itself, of which MMORPGs are a fascinatingly twisted microcosm.
Looking back over this week's column, I probably strayed a bit off of the usual path in terms of speaking directly to Age of Conan and its various issues. I may even have veered too close to sentimentality for some tastes -- including my own. Occasionally these things are worth thinking about, though, if only to reassure ourselves that there's some purpose in what we're doing, who we're doing it with, and what it all means.
And that's really the most important thing I took away from a week that saw me disheartened by the demise of a game that I stopped playing some time ago (and fretting about what lies ahead for one of the games I'm playing today). As much as I hate to throw around cliches, the future is indeed now, and I've resolved to enjoy what I can, while I can, and not worry so much about the rest. The reason why is simple: Whether its Hyboria or the real world, none of us really knows how long that future is going to last.

Lecter-ish movie help
For a reasons I cannot explain, I'm trying to remember the name of a movie which I always regarded as a Hannibal Lecter rip off. I'm pretty sure the UK DVD cover has a close up shot of a guy with a Lecter style mask on. Never seen the movie but I think it was a serial killer movie, possibly based on fact.
Any help would be great. It's driving me crazy!!! D:
Sounds like Mark Blair's CONFESSIONS OF A SERIAL KILLER. If memory serves, it's more of a HENRY rip than anything. I recall thinking it was really good; it was supposed to get a DVD release from Corman, but I don't think it ever materialized.
Blimey that was fast!
Thats the one!
Thankyou so much ;)

Apparatus for creosoting wood
Abstract available in
Claims available in
Description (OCR text may contain errors)
(No Model.)
Patented May 5, 1885.
fliforney u. PETERS. Photomhognphcr, Wnhinglan. D. c.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 316,961, dated May 5, 1885.
Application filed March 21, 1885. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, LUDVIG HANSEN and ANDREW SMITH, citizens of the United States of America, residing at Wilmington, in the county'of New Hanover and State of North Carolina, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Apparatus for Oreosoting Wood, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to'the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 represents a plan of our apparatus and Fig.2, an end view of the cylinder of the same with one end removed and charged with logs. Fig. 3 represents a vertical longitudinal section of one end of the cylinder when empty.
The invention consists in the peculiar combinations and the construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described and claimed.
Referring to the details of construction. A represents a cylinder having rails B, on which runs the car O,provided with the usual wheels, D, and axles E.
At the lower part of the cylinder is located a series of steam-pipes, G, which are connected with any suitable steam-boiler.
At H is shown a creosote-tank connected with the cylinder A by the pipes I J, the latter being provided with a pump, K
At the bottom of the tank is a pipe, L, provided with a stop-cock, and at the top is another pipe, M,havi ng a pump, N, whose use is to exhaust the air and moisture from the cylinder A.
The cylinder is provided with a door or head, 0, at each end, which is preferably connected to the cylinder by hinges P, and each is provided with a wheel, Q, to support the weight of the door or head, which wheel runs on a track, B. To secure the heads tight when closed, we provide swinging bolts S, having nuts T, which bolts are attached to the heads andswing into slots in the flanges attached to the heads.
The rails U, outside. of the cylinder, are provided with movable sections at, which are capable of being turned to one side, as shown by dotted lines, in order that the head may swing open to receive the load.
At V is shown a series of screws having hand-wheels o placed at intervals along nearly the whole length of the tanks and passing through the fixed nuts W, and whose lower ends press upon a longitudinal bar, X, which carries a series of curved transverse bars, Y. The extreme end of each of the screws passes through the bar X, and is provided with a pin, Z, which supports the bar. By screwing down these screws the bars Y are pressed down upon the logs, and the latter are thus prevented from rising when the cylinder is filled with the preservative fluid.
The operation is as follows: The car is loaded with logs which may or may not have been previously charred, as described in our application filed February 2, 1885, and numbered 154,678, and the car, with its load, is
then run into the cylinder and the ends closed tight by shutting in the heads and securing them by the bolts 1) and nuts q. The bars Y are then forced down upon the logs by turning down the screws, so as to hold them secnrely in place. Steam is then admitted to the pipes G to thoroughly dry the logs, and the moisture therefrom and the air in the cylinder being removed through the pipe M by the pump N, creosote or other preservative material is allowed to flow from the tank H into the cylinder until the latter is filled, and then the pump K is set into operation and the creosote is forced into the cylinder with pressure sufficient to cause it to penetrate every pore in the wood. When the wood has been thoroughly impregnated, the surplus creosote is withdrawn from the cylinder through the pipe'L, the screws V reversed, and the car, with its load, is withdrawn, leaving the with the supportingwheel Q, substantially as tures, in presence of two witnesses, this 19th described. (lay of March, 1885.
2. The combination, with the cylinder A, 'LUDVIG 'HANSEN. of the bar X, carrying the transverse bars Y, ANDREW SMITH. 5 and screws V, for operating the same, sub- Witnesses: i
stantially as described. WILLIAM BARRY,
In testimony whereof we affix our signer ALEX. S. HEIDE.

and 3 song e.p. packaged together)Features
videos of "Simple Song" & "Natural thing" + Marco Ferrari's documentary on the making of "In seed comes fruit". Package
also includes a c.d. of the up-dated 'soul kitchen' mix of "Simple Song", a cover
of New Order's "Bizarre Love Triangle" and
a juicy re-mix of "Natural thing"
Full Length Album: * 2000
The neo Disco soul of poi dog pondering shines here live at the turning of the millennium.
This record captures PDP in the midst of exploring how to combine the 70's Philly soul disco
with House and rock. With a controversial new line up and focus on soul, disco jazz and house music, PDP set out to
explore that field planted in the 70's by The Sound of Philadelphia (or TSOP), Big band live disco with strings and horns,
Jazz keys, bass, congas and drums. Striving to become the organic link between that and the electronic present. Recorded
live on NYE at the dawn of 2000, This record captures the band feeling flush with creative energy and determined to follow
it's heart in-spite of a vocal portion of it's fan-base resistant to let the band morph as it always seems to need
to do.
Full Length Album:
* 1999 "Natural Thing" is the sound of PDP in the summer light fire
of re-invention. Again. The lyrics get thrown in the fire,
and the music rises higher. "At this time in my life I felt like music was so much more expressive than words..."
said Frank Orrall, "And I just wanted to let the music speak." "Rather than traditional song writing structures
like; "verse / chorus / bridge " etc., We just let the musicians be musicians and play. Martin and I followed where
they went and made the song fit their intuitive structure.... The instrumentalist was the conductor, and the songs just wrapped
around that cosmic shape." "Also at this time in my life lyrics were not coming to me and so I just
felt like lyrics should be short and to the point. Set the stage and let the music talk to the listener in the sound of the
soul. The arc of emotion in "Octavio / Beautiful to meet you", Spend my life", "Diva" and "Tracery
/ Tana dery Na" literally pull at my heart" say's Frank Orrall.
Full Length Double Album:
* 1997 The quintessential live PDP record
to date. This captures the early Chicago line up in it's prime. Knowing it was the band's first live record,
and at the decade mark of the band's existence - they chose to lay the concert out like a sonic retrospective; Starting
with "Angelika Suspended" 's early poi acoustic sound and ending the night with the bands emerging interest
in electronic textures and dance / rock music. Recorded over 4 nights at the Vic
Theater, Expertly mixed by PDP's #1 trusted 'man at the controls' Martin Stebbing and assisted by Max Crawford's
dedicated attention to detail and choice of passion over performance... This record
captures the late '90's poi to perfection.
Re-Mix Album: * 1996In
the mid 90's PDP were enjoying fresh inspiration from the vibrant Chicago underground electronic dance movement, and so
Fresh off of releasing "Pomegranate", PDP went back into the studio with producers Frank Orrall and Martin Stebbing
and engineer Scott Ramsayer to make this RE-MIX album. They locked themselves into the studio and experimented with vintage
synthesizers and drum machines to make club ready versions of 4 previously released PDP songs. This session yielded 3 new
cuts; "Zap Disco" (inspired by Chicago's south side 'Juke' and ' booty house' sound), "Platetectonic"
a quasi rock / electronic house Frankenstein, and the hidden JEM of the whole record; "Diva (bliss mix)" closes
out the record. This record freaked out some fans of the band who thought the band "went disco" - but it
also made new fans, and is a testimony to PDPs musical elasticity. "Diva" is singularly
beautiful in it's organic electronic-ness - fully electronic - but somehow it sounds like it could fit right along side
PDP's most acoustic tender songs. Frank Orrall counts "Diva" and "Falling" as two of his favorite
PDP recordings - they are like the north and south pole of the poi catalogue - a world apart from each-other, but very much
in the same glove of poi's tender melancholic joy.
POMEGRANATE Full Length Album: * 1995 Made under the pressure
of tending to a lover ( and band member ) struggling with cancer, this record emerged a diamond. It's a determined deep
breath, and acceptance of life and it's ways and choosing to live and love it. It's sex and dreams and dirt
and earth. A masterpiece.
Full Length Album:
* 1994 A sublime all instrumental record. Pure natural music. Featuring Frank Orrall,
Ellen fullman, Kit Ebersbach, Mark Willams, Susan Voelz, Max Crawford,
Paul Mertens and other Members of PDP.
Full Length Album:
* 1992This began as an instrumental record, When our label contact heard
what we were making he flew right down to Austin and said, point blank: "Columbia wants a lyric record
or else they're gonna drop the band." In-sensed by this form of control PDP
decided rather than to quit or quibble, to take their cue from Madona; "Gain power, then do what you want with it",
so they wrote a stone solid pop lyric record, put boxing gloves on for the cover photo and let Columbia know they were in
the ring. "In retrospect, I'm glad Columbia pushed us - cause it ended up producing 2 good records - the one we meant
to make (Palm Fabric Orchestra) and Volo Volo.... " That's a good story - and true... but an equally
important truth is; when the band was on tour in England in 89 and they heard the Happy Mondays, that kinda started a revolution
in the poi sound. And with Palm Fabric in the bag - they were happy to move on and explore again. You can start to hear it
here. The band got hate mail from fans who feared they sold out when volo volo hit.
Fruitless (remix)I Had To Tell YouLove VigilantesGoing Up The
CountryWood Guitar/Falling (live)Thanksgiving (live)
Length Album: * 1990The whimsical apex of early PDP.
Before the Sony / Columbia machine and cynical press cavity toothed mutterings scared them into self awareness... (which is
not as bad as it seems... they survived just fine.) This is the sound of PDP just happy to be there in the world playing music
and unaware that it might matter to anyone - and bliss-full to the fact that the lions in wait of "thou shall not from
'indie to major label' trade" were ready to pounce. Little had anyone known that they had (in their brashness),
beaten the best contract out of Columbia, better than any indy contract - filled with creative control.... (including
clauses for a kid's record, and an instrumental record... ) and kept their own publishing - all because they could
care less and fought them for it. But none of this has anything to do with the sound and the songs here. This is pre-indy
back lash poi being it's natural heart on the sleeve self.
Angered letters from fundamentalist religious zealots came in addressing the songs:
"Bury me deep" and "Praise the lord". PDP took it as a good sign.
POI DOG PONDERING Full Length Album:
* 1988 Poi dog Pondering's debut CD. Originally released as 2 e.p.s on Texas Hotel records.
This record captures the whimsical elegance of the the bands early acoustic rock sound, fresh off the street from their
beginnings as a street playing "busking" band. This album sounds as fresh today as the day it was recorded thanks
to Mike Stewart's warm analogue recording. It's time-less and heart-felt. Earnest and honest. Violins, accordions,
mandolins, mando cellos, bass, oboe, drums, electric guitars, penny whistles, harps and trumpets are a few of the instruments
that give this recording it's unique texture. Threaded together with prose that knows that life is short, and sometimes
painful, and should be lived with both hands and a healthy thirst. Zorba the Greek would like this record.

|Home » About Us » Brand
Ask any Indian consumer to name a Battery and the first brand that comes to mind is Eveready. Not just among batteries, Eveready is a powerful brand across categories.
Eveready has a portfolio comprising dry cell batteries (carbon zinc batteries, rechargeable batteries and alkaline batteries), flashlights (torches), CFLs (Compact Fluorescent Lamps) and packet tea.
Eveready's strength is the result of a continuous and well-orchestrated brand development strategy that maximizes the value from each consumer touch-point.
Is the iconic urban face of Eveready. The advertising byline of the popular Red series of batteries, it is today symbolic of the empowered urban lifestyle that the brand reflects. The original, path-breaking campaign won as many as 11 advertising awards.
The current television commercial on Eveready Ultima, which has explored and demonstrated the technique of light painting (through the TVC) has been very well received and is a one of its kind commercial in the entire batteries segment.
The unmatched consumer confidence is also reflected through the various accolades that the company has got over the years.

2008 Macbook Screen - Black bar
I have found a 2008 Core 2 Duo 2.4 ghz Macbook for sale locally. It has 2 gb of ram, so I think that it might do me well for now, to try out the world of Mac computers. My worry is that there seems to be a screen issue. I have included a pic to show the issue. There is a fairly large black bar down the screen. Would a screen replacement fix this, or might it be something else?
This is apparently as the computer is turning on. What are your thoughts?
Your uploaded image did not get uploaded. However, before buying that MacBook you need to find out if it's the LCD display that's bad or the graphics controller. Attach an external monitor or TV to the MacBook and see if the picture is OK or if it still has the black bar.
You need an adapter to plug in an external display to the Macbook. You can get one at an Apple Store or Best Buy.
Like Chscag said, if the pic is normal on an external display, it's the LCD.
If it shows on External display, it's the Graphics Chip which is part of the Logic board and would cost a LOT to fix. You would need a new Logic board.
If it's the LCD, there are tutorials all over the internet and you can get one from iFixit I believe. If you do decide to purchase the machine, I will find you a take apart for it.

Book flights from Heraklion (HER) to Graz (GRZ)
Flying from Heraklion
Heraklion International Airport is Crete's main airport. Located 5 km from the city, airberlin operates flights from Heraklion Airport to major European cities, including Hamburg, Zurich, and Berlin.
Heraklion International Airport Information
Heraklion International Airport (HER), also known as Nikos Kazantzakis, is the second busiest airport in Greece, serving about 5.5 million passengers annually. The airport is named after the Greek philosopher and writer of the same name who was born in the city. The passenger terminal offers a variety of facilities including a duty-free store, a bank, currency exchange services, information desk, medical facility, and car and bike rental offices.
To manage passenger crowds during the summer months, a new airport at Kastelli Pediados is currently under construction. The new facility is expected to be completed in 2015, at which time operations at Heraklion International Airport will cease.
Getting to the Airport in Heraklion
From the city center, it takes about 7 minutes to travel by taxi to Heraklion International Airport. Visitors can save money by taking a bus instead, which is comparatively less expensive. From bus station A in Heraklion, visitors can travel by bus to Heraklion Airport, with a journey time of about 20 minutes.
Arriving in Graz
Austria's second largest city is often overlooked in favor of Vienna, but thousands of tourists still book flights to Graz each year. Historic buildings provide a relaxing and interesting visit by day, and the city's bars and dance clubs make for a lively nightlife. Use airberlin to find flight deals to Graz year-round.
First Time in Graz
The first time you travel to Graz, be sure to visit the Schlossberg, a hilltop castle and heart of the original city. You can take an elevator to the summit, or walk through the wooded paths to the peak for a more scenic experience.
Your Graz
Graz is a relaxing city perfect for long strolls and sightseeing. Spend the warm summer evenings walking in the city center, where you might catch a street performance, or see a symphony with tickets to Graz's Opernhaus.
Making the Most of Your Graz Holiday
The weather in Graz is milder than in most of the country, making the city an ideal place for outdoor tourism activities. Plan your vacation early to find cheap hotels in Graz more easily. Fly with airberlin for exceptional service to Graz.

Rain puts damper on drought status
Your lawn may still be sodden and your umbrellas may still be in the corner drying out, but all the rain last month did have some good effects.
The Triangle area is no longer considered to be in moderate drought, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. The region, however, still remains "abnormally dry," says the latest map released this week by the monitor. But that's nevertheless a step better than moderate drought, which is the least severe of the four levels officials use.
We got out of drought status because, during the month of February, we had more than four inches of rain - nearly an inch above the average for the month.
"We've been in a pretty persistent and active pattern where storm systems have been hitting us about every three or four days," said Mike Strickler, a meteorologist with the Raleigh office of the National Weather Service. "That's given us fairly impressive rainfalls."
Overall, since late November, when the area was declared to be in moderate drought, we've received more than 10 inches of rain. That's brought reservoir levels up - Durham's Lake Michie and Little River reservoirs are both considered full - but it doesn't mean we're out of the woods.
"We're definitely not home free," said Mike Moneypenny, a hydrologist with the weather service office. "The impact of being abnormally dry is a lot harder to see in the winter, with quick bursts of rain filling up the reservoirs. But soil moisture and groundwater tables are still an issue, and as we head into the warmer months, we're going to need those levels to be good."
Moneypenny compared being "abnormally dry" to "kind of like a drought watch."
If the regular rainfall doesn't continue, he added, "drought will creep right back in."
The good news, kind of, then, is that more rain is coming.
We could have some sprinkles through tonight, "although it probably won't amount to very much," Strickler said. But we could get some pretty heavy rain starting on Tuesday.
"There should be another one of those wet systems moving in by Tuesday, just like the ones we've been having," he said. "We could get a half inch to an inch or so or rain, late Tuesday and Wednesday."
And at the end of that period of precipitation, when it's supposed to get colder, we could even see some … wintry mix.
"It's still a few days out, and it will probably happen more to the north," Strickler said, "but the potential is certainly there."

New Mexico could lose millions of dollars in federal money for special education - because the state didn't keep its end of a bargain.
We're talking about anywhere from $43 million to $93 million that the feds could withhold from Special Ed grants over the next few years.
It all started in the great recession. New Mexico and other states started trimming education budgets when tax revenues started drying up in the shrinking economy. The U.S. Education Dept. says the state failed to keep up spending levels in programs shored up with federal dollars. The state Public Education Dept. requested a waiver to sidestep those requirements, but the feds are saying no.
"It might be partly the legislature's fault," said Rep. Mimi Stewart, an Albuquerque democrat who chairs the House Education Committee. "It's certainly partly the Public Education Department's fault for not telling us, for not keeping us on track."
"Most every state had had to cut education across the country in the last 5 or 6 years," said Sen. John Arthur Smith, a Deming Democrat who is chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. "We hope we're going to be successful is salvaging or having the feds back off on their request for the additional dollars."
"And now we really need to put more money into our funding formula so this doesn't continue to happen,' Stewart said.
So, where's the money going to come from? That's what lawmakers are grappling with right now. Projections of about $230 million in new revenues are already being whittled down, and lawmakers are looking at reserve funds to try to come up with the money - whether it's $43 million or $93 million - or more.

vh 1 is the better channel and better than mtv.
vh 1 is the better channel and better than mtv.
Mtv is crap and vh1 is getting there, one can only take so much of mini-marathons of 'America's next top model'.
Press today is so concerned with cool vs. not cool that they're starting to forget good vs. bad. I'm not sure I'll ever be "cool", but I will always tirelessly strive to be "great". - Josh Groban
I saw a commercial when I was watching an episode of "Made" (don't know why, but when NOTHING else is on, I kind of like that show!) - it was for another Real World Guantlet or whatever they call the massive cast of out of work actor wannabees converging upon a tropical setting, getting drunk, fighting, hooking up, breaking up and oh, competing for some prize. Anyway, I saw Coral on there and my first thought was "she is getting WAY too old for this stuff." At least last I checked those two guys that were on the very first Real World or road rules (Eric Neis and that other blonde guy? thank you IMDB...Tim!) aren't doing it anymore. Are they? eeks - talk about TOO OLD for MTV!
I love my awesome crazy wonderful friends!!
"Do you remember in kindergarten, how youd meet a kid,then 10 seconds later youd be playing like you were best friends?"* * *
Trust me, you're not getting old. MTV hasn't aired any decent programming in at least 15 years.
Thank god for VH1 Classic. At least they air programming related to MUSIC.
bring back beavis and butt head they are need now lol.
I totally agree with you, BFJen!
I used to love Real World and Road Rules, but it lost its sense of fun years ago.
I also miss Daria.
I don't see how MTV is watchable for anyone. We tried to watch the NYE thing and it was so bad and we had kids from 9-27. I dont think anyone really enjoyed it.
MTV is not what it used to be thats for sure.
A little piece of heaven
I use to like mtv.
Don't anymore.
Where'd the music go?
VH1 is still ok though :]
"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined." -Henry David Thoreau
All of those so called "music" channels are crap. IMF was the only decent one, so it figures that I change my cable provider so I don't have that channel anymore. VH1 Classic is alright, but I was born in 85' so i'm not such a fan of 80's music. And the cheese factor of those videos isn't that entertaining anymore.
I'm definitely a child of the 80's - I remember staying up all night trying to catch a glimpse of the Thriller video!
I think the turn came for me when the Real World did the Vegas stint - after that, it was just how much booze and sex can we cram into all of our programming.
I'll even admit to enjoying Beavis and Butthead - they were out there, but never took things too far - ala South Park.
Will trade husband for Disneyland and DCA Pins!
aside from a shot a love i don't watch mtv
still like vh1 though

2011 Environmental Achievement Awards Due 02/28/11
- Call for Nominations Signed by Willie Taylor
- Award Types
- Award Scope
- Environmental Compliance
- Award Categories
- Award Process
- Tips for Writing a Good Nomination
- Evaluation Criteria
- Questions
- Bureau Award Coordinators
Individual - an employee of the Department of the Interior
Team - Department employee or a combination of Department and non-departmental employees
Partner - a departmental partner organization, which may be a contractor, a Federal/State agency, tribal nations or organizations, or non-profit entities, that worked with departmental employees on a departmental project.
The Department Environmental Achievement Awards recognize Department individual employees and teams as well as Department partners who have attained exceptional environmental achievements in accordance with the following policies:
- Executive Order 13514 - Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy, and Economic Performance,
- Executive Order 13423 - Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy, and Transportation Management,
- Energy Policy Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-58),
- Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (Public Law 110-140),
- Departmental Manual - Compliance with Waste Management Requirements (518 DM 2),
- Additionally, the Environmental Remediation category recognizes efforts to remediate and prevent contamination on Department land.
The Environmental Achievement Awards recognize recipients and projects worthy of replication across the Department. Compliance with applicable laws and regulations is a requirement for receiving an Award. There must be no environmental compliance problems (e.g., Environmental Protection Agency or State fines and penalties levied against a facility or open environmental audit findings) associated with a nomination. Therefore, bureau and office Senior Sustainability Officers (SSOs) are required to verify that all recommended award recipients are in compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations or that all compliance-related problems have been successfully addressed. By signing the Memorandum of Nomination, bureau and office SSOs are certifying that environmental compliance findings associated with the submitted nominations are closed or that all compliance-related problems have been sufficiently addressed to their satisfaction. The Department reserves the right to withhold recognition from any recommended recipient in violation of any environmental Federal, State or local rules, laws, or regulations of any kind.
These award categories and descriptions are the same as descriptions for the GreenGov Presidential Awards, unless otherwise noted.
- Sustainability Hero Award
This award recognizes an individual who is a sustainability champion and agent of change within his or her agency. The selected individual demonstrates a history of outstanding performance in leading implementation of sustainable practices while reflecting a comprehensive approach to energy and environmental management through innovative strategies, practices, and outreach.
- Green Innovation Award
This award recognizes an innovation or idea with clear potential to transform the Federal community's overall energy and environmental performance, in keeping with the goals defined by EO 13514. This award will be presented to an individual or team for the development and execution of a novel new product, project, program, design, or revolutionary idea that facilitates sustainability in the Federal Government. Award winners will ideally represent efforts in the implementation stage; however, innovation that demonstrates near-term feasibility may also be recognized.
- Lean, Clean, and Green Award
This award recognizes outstanding organizational achievement in building or fleet energy efficiency or renewable energy development and deployment. The winning project or program will demonstrate a combination of measurable results in energy efficiency (reduced energy consumption), increased use of renewable energy, and reduced greenhouse gas pollution; or decreased petroleum fuel consumption and greenhouse gas pollution reduction.
- Good Neighbor Award
This award recognizes a Federal agency team or facility for its exemplary application of the Partnership for Sustainable Communities, Livability Principles and/or engagement with local or regional communities to promote one or more of the goals of EO 13514. Awards in this category will focus on local Federal agency representatives who are actively involved in community planning and sustainability initiatives, have established and are pursuing collaborative sustainability goals, and demonstrate success in aligning policies and practices with community partners to achieve those goals. Nominations for this category must include at least one letter of support from a non-Federal local or regional community partner in order to be considered. Include the letter of support in your nomination materials as an attachment.
- Green Dream Team Award
This award recognizes exceptional leadership by an interagency green team to effectively place a Federal sustainability idea into action. The selected team will have clearly demonstrated that its collaboration efforts were integral to the successful implementation and institutionalization of the idea within its office, agency, or agencies and will highlight collaboration through Regional Councils, Federal Executive Boards, workgroups or other interagency organizations.
- Building the Future Award
This award recognizes the Federal or Military facility or installation that is "the whole package," and demonstrates the policy and performance goals of the President's Executive Order on Sustainability in each aspect of its operations. Nominees should demonstrate achievement in all aspects of the facility lifecycle: building or installation design and operation, cradle-to-grave supply chain management, community engagement, employee involvement, and innovation. Nominees are limited to completed projects.
- Environmental Remediation Award
This category recognizes efforts to remediate and prevent contamination on Department land. Examples include green remediation initiatives, use of new and emerging technologies, partnerships with other agencies or organizations, reduction of carbon footprint through new techniques, project management or initiatives in areas such as bureau operations, land management practices, technology enhancement/transfer, environmental education/training, policy making, program infrastructure development, and research related to improving efficiency in remediating Department land. Note: This category changed in 2007. It no longer covers far-reaching ecosystem protection accomplishments, which are recognized through the Department Partners in Conservation Awards. If you have any questions about whether or not your project will fit this category, please contact the Award Coordinator, Ms. Katie Chiang at 202-208-5939 who will review questions on a case-by-case basis.
Step 1: SUBMIT NOMINATIONS ON-LINE at: www.doi.gov/greening/awards.
Your bureau and office may attach additional guidelines for the submission of nominations within your organization. Please follow your bureau and office directions and deadlines. Bureaus and offices with their own environmental awards programs may elect to only nominate their award recipients for consideration for the Department Award. Contact Ms. Katie Chiang at 202-208-5939 or your Bureau Award Coordinator (see list attached) if you have any questions.
Step 2: BUREAU or OFFICE SCREENING.
Bureau and office award coordinators, in coordination with environmental management staff, must access the on-line submissions to screen nominations for environmental compliance per the above requirements. Bureau coordinators should use bureau environmental audit results and the EPA's Online Tracking Information System database located at http://www.epa-echo.gov/otis/ to determine if the nominated facilities are in good standing. If there are any open findings, submit a one paragraph explanation of how the finding is addressed and why the nomination should be considered. Bureaus should also screen nominations for completeness, merit, and appropriateness for the Environmental Achievement Awards. Bureaus and offices are asked to forward only their 14 best nominations. There is a one-time increase in nominations allowed per bureau since there were no Department Awards in 2010. The limit on nominations allowed per bureau will return to seven for the 2012 Department Awards. Note: "Partners" must be nominated by their partner bureau or office for work done on a Department project.
Step 3: MEMORANDUM FROM HEAD OF BUREAU or OFFICE SSO.
Bureau and office SSOs must send a Memorandum of Nomination to forward their 14 best nominations to Mr. Willie R. Taylor, Director, Office of Environmental Policy and Compliance by February 28, 2011. If you are a nominator, please contact your bureau award coordinator to ensure your project will be included on this memorandum, or it cannot be considered for an Environmental Achievement Award. Each memo should include a short write-up for each nomination succinctly stating the merits of the project and why it is worthy of replication at other Department facilities. Note: By their signature in the Memorandum of Nomination, bureau and office SSOs certify that the submitted projects have good environmental compliance standing as outlined above.
Step 4: EVALUATION OF NOMINATIONS BY AWARDS PANEL.
The Office of Environmental Policy and Compliance convenes a panel of representatives from bureaus and offices to select and recommend nominations for awards using the established evaluation criteria.
Step 5: RECOMMENDATIONS FINALIZED, ANNOUNCEMENT MADE.
The Office of Environmental Policy and Compliance forwards recommendations to the Department's Senior Sustainability Officer. The Department SSO finalizes the selection of recipients and signs a memorandum announcing Award recipients. There will be 12 to 14 award recipients announced for 2011 since there were no Department Awards in 2010. There will 8 to 10 award recipients for the 2012 Department Awards.
Step 6: RECOGNITION CEREMONY.
The Awards ceremony and reception are tentatively scheduled for August 2011, in Washington, DC. Recognition includes an award presented by a high-level Department official and descriptions on the Greening the Department website. Recipients and honorable mentions become a part of a network of environmental professionals who help spread best management practices across the Department. Bureaus and offices are responsible for travel costs for their award recipients to attend the ceremony.
Step 7: GREENGOV PRESIDENTIAL AWARD NOMINATION:
In order to be considered for the GreenGov Presidential Award, Department Award recipients and honorable mentions must update their nomination materials with recent accomplishments and nominate themselves for the GreenGov Presidential Awards. This includes verifying compliance with the applicable laws and regulations as required in the GreenGov Presidential Award Nomination form. The GreenGov Presidential Awards do not allow nomination attachments, but do allow links to websites. GreenGov nominees may elect to post all relevant nomination information online so that it might be considered in their GreenGov nomination. GreenGov nominees are also required to have three references. Please see the GreenGov Presidential Awards website (http://www.fedcenter.gov/opportunities/awards/greengovpresidentialawards/) for guidance on who may serve as a reference.
Tip 2: Review the nominations of the past award recipients at www.doi.gov/greening/awards.
Tip 3: Use headings and bullets to separate important components of your narrative.
Tip 4: If your project was a team effort, don't nominate a single individual. In the past, judges have raised questions about nominations that single out an individual without a clear justification why that individual deserves sole recognition.
Tip 5: If your project falls into more than one award category, write only one nomination that demonstrates the full scope of your program, and select the award category that is the closest match.
Tip 6: If your project encompasses more than one bureau or office, write one joint nomination that demonstrates the full scope of the program. Select a lead bureau or office to write and submit the nomination. Please list all member bureaus, offices, or agencies in your nomination narrative.
Tip 7: Use quantitative data whenever possible so that you include the magnitude of environmental and/or energy benefits derived from the project (e.g., square feet of recycled-content carpet, pounds of waste diverted from the landfill, dollar values of green contracts, greenhouse gas emission reductions, amount of energy and/or water saved, amount of renewable energy produced or purchased, etc.). Report both the absolute quantity and percentage change when compared to the previous fiscal year.
Tip 8: Closely read the evaluation criteria that will be used by judges to score your nomination.
Tip 9 (For Partners): Clearly show your organization's relationship to the Department project and to the Department as a whole. Explain your organization's role in the project.
Tip 10: Highlight the cost effective use of innovative techniques and solutions
A panel of bureau and office representatives convened by the Office of Environmental Policy and Compliance will review and recommend Award recipients using the following four criteria.
For projects that won an Environmental Achievement Award in years past, the nomination submitted this year must demonstrate significant new developments or improvements over past achievements in order to be considered.
Criteria 1: Project is unique in its approach and/or highly effective at employing proven strategies
Criteria 2: Project demonstrates clear results in improving sustainability of Department operations
Criteria 3: Project is being replicated elsewhere or has high potential for replicability across the Department
Criteria 4: Category specific criteria:
- Sustainability Hero Award – Nominee demonstrates career history of sustainability achievements.
- Green Innovation Award – Project is especially innovative in its design and/or approach.
- Lean, Clean, and Green Award – Project displays a combination of demonstrable results in efficiency, renewable energy, petroleum reduction, & GHG reduction.
- Good Neighbor Award – Demonstrates effective partnership with and support of local community.
- Green Dream Team Award – Team was highly effective in collaboration to reach shared goal.
- Building the Future Award – Demonstrates achievement in all aspects of facility lifecycle (design, building, management, etc.).

THURSDAY, July 9 (HealthDay News) -- In both premenopausal and postmenopausal women, a history of migraine may be independently associated with a significantly reduced risk of breast cancer, according to a study published in the July issue of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention.
In 2008, Christopher I. Li, M.D., of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, and colleagues published a study of about 1,000 breast-cancer cases and about 1,000 controls (ages 55 to 74) in one metropolitan area showing a link between migraine and a lower risk of breast cancer. In this follow-up study, they assessed 4,568 cases and 4,678 controls (ages 34 to 64) in five metropolitan areas, and analyzed data on common migraine triggers such as alcohol, hormone replacement therapy, and smoking, which are also risk factors for breast cancer.
Overall, the researchers found that migraine was associated with a reduced risk of breast cancer (odds ratio, 0.74), and that the association was not affected by menopausal status, age at migraine diagnosis, or use of prescription migraine medications. They also found that the association did not differ in women who never drank alcohol, never smoked and didn't use hormones, suggesting that migraine alone is a protective factor.
"Further work is needed to resolve what accounts for this relationship; such as whether it is a consequence of factors such as more frequent NSAID use among migraineurs, or if there are different hormonal milieus or sensitivities in migraineurs compared with women who do not suffer from migraines that convey a lower risk of breast cancer," the authors conclude.

No place channels ultimate, rugged coolness quite like Whitefish, Montana. Situated just a stone's throw from Glacier National Park, this tiny town makes easy work of a trendy, outdoorsy vibe. Adventurers visit for the surrounding natural wonders. Relaxation seekers come for the rustic Whitefish (and vicinity) hotels. Foodies adore the farm-to-table restaurants. Even culture lovers can get their fix at the local museums. If you're searching a destination that's both hidden gem and boho-chic paradise, this is the spot for you.
Hotels in Whitefish (and Vicinity)
Before you begin planning your Whitefish vacation, of course, you'll need to find the perfect place to stay. Looking for the best combination of city sights and natural treasures? Try one of the hotels in Whitefish Lake. This waterfront area is just a hop, skip, and jump from downtown, but it's also near a dazzling state park and quiet marina. Prefer something a touch more rustic? Head for the Whitefish (and vicinity) hotels that are nearest Big Mountain. This towering peak is the ideal year-round destination; in the summer, you can hike, bike, and picnic in the surrounding valley, and the winter is fantastic for skiing and snowboarding.
City dwellers, on the hand, might prefer to be closer to the central district. Book a room at one of the cozy inns downtown, and you'll be in the best place to check out the restaurants, shop the small boutiques, and grab a beer at the local brewery.
Flights to Whitefish, Car Rentals, and More
Ready to put together your Montana getaway? Expedia.com has all the tools you require. Use our search engine to compare prices on hotels in Whitefish (and vicinity), track down cheap airfare, and make your reservations.

Hello all,
I'm not sure where to post this, but I know of a group in California that creates comfort packages for individuals affected by cancer. I am not promoting any religious affiliation, but know that they do this in a positive way, really just trying to send comfort through blankets and crochet hats.
If anyone is interested in requesting a comfort package, this is their link: http://yana-cancercomfort.com/
I'm sure there are other groups out there that may offer the same thing, but this was just one that I know of through a friend.
Many positive thoughts for all,

By Post Staff
A near record 37 entries for the 58th Annual Stars of Tomorrow contest – sponsored by the Alliance Kiwanis Club – has resulted in the decision to split the contest into two shows. Both shows will be held on Saturday, March 29 at the Performing Arts Center in Alliance.
The first show will start at 2 pm and feature Divisions 1 (K-3) and 2 (4-6). Performances total 19 in those two age groups. The second show will start at 6 pm for Divisions 3 (7-9) and 4 (10-12). There are 18 performances in those divisions.
Rehearsals for both shows will start that morning at 8 am sharp at the PAC to allow contestants to become familiar with the stage and the auditorium. Rehearsals are scheduled to finish at 1:00pm. Contestants will be receiving letters in the mail setting rehearsal times for each contestant. Please be prompt.
Kiwanis Talent Coordinator John McGhehey said the decision to have two shows was made due to length. "If we held just one show, it would have been four hours long at least," he said. "We didn't want to hold auditions to cut down the number of performers simply because we felt, as a club, that every contestant deserves a chance to perform in Stars of Tomorrow."
Trophies and medals will be given during each show so that contestants performing in the afternoon don't have to be present at the conclusion of the second show to learn the results.
A single price of admission allows the public to attend both shows. Admission at the door is $5.00 for adults, $4.00 seniors, $2.50 for children 14 and under and $10.00 for a family.

These instructions are valid when connecting to the BCNet Wireless network only.
If you need assistance configuring your wireless connection, please contact IT Support.
Wireless Connectivity Using Android devices
Wireless Connectivity Using iOS devices
Wireless Connectivity Using Mac OS X 7 and higher
Wireless Connectivity Using Windows 7/Windows Vista
Wireless Connectivity Using Windows 8
Please note: If you are a guest connecting to the BCGuest wireless network you should follow these instructions.
For students, faculty or staff who decide to install a personally owned wireless access point or router, refer to the Private Wireless Router Configuration and Policy page.
Wireless Security Practices: Important!
Accessing the network through wireless laptops and other wireless devices is even more insecure than using the network with a direct network connection. Since a wireless connection is a shared environment, it is possible for your connection can be viewed in its entirety by any other users in the same wireless zone. This means that anyone can view all of the content including your passwords that you send back and forth. It can often be viewed by intruders from outside the Beloit College community if they hack the authentication process so it is very important to practice secure connectivity methods when using wireless.
Encrypting your network connections is the only way to maintain privacy and confidentiality of your content (including your passwords) over wireless. You should always use an SSL connection when connecting to sites that require a password or other confidential content. Please read the Encryption How-To web page. It can be as trivial as simply using https instead of http in the web address.
If you have questions or problems, please contact IT Support.
Beloit College Wireless Access Points
Beloit College offers wireless network access in all academic and administrative buildings. Wireless also is accessible outside of Pearsons and the residential quad with significant outdoor coverage.
Wireless coverage exists in the residential buildings on campus. Personal wireless routers are not allowed in the buildings that have wireless coverage, but are supported in other buildings. Please refer to our Personal Wireless Router Policy for more information.
