* NEW INFORMATION NOT IN PREVIOUS HANDBOOKS (but possibly buried in the thread)
The purpose of this thread is to have one source for all a Binder's needs, be they basic information, builds, combos, or anything else.
T_G and Gerdreg, being the original authors of the two main Binder sourcebooks, both approve of the compilation here, and both have been really busy lately. This is likely to happen to me, too, so I've created a new profile and password that is completely public, so that users may edit the information as they see fit. Here it is:
edit: since the change to the Gleemax system, it requires an email address to log in. Since I used a personal (but secondary) email address, if there needs to be a major overhaul, please PM or email me first, and I'll get back to you w/ the info (if its someone I don't recognize, don't expect it, though).
Even though this is a completely public profile, please respect the work: if you think something is in error, or you'd like to add some combos, please post it first, just so the community has a chance to digest it and to verify its legality.
I've formatted the text such that "fluff" would all be in sblocks, which I hope doesn't insult anybody, and the "meat" such as vestige power lists and combos, which the CO community thrives on, would be readily viewable on the second post.
Much of the work here was done by T_G and Gerdreg, I've just been the organizer of some of the more recent developments, and their works (and that's a mountain of data to process, in and of itself). With that, I hope you enjoy, and that it isn't a wasted effort!
Links to the original threads / handbooks (both have been archived):
Gerdreg wrote:Though there are only a limited number of vestiges currently available, and the binder may only bind a small number of them at once (up to four at a time by level 20), the Binder is one of the most versatile classes to date. Based on what vestiges the Binder chooses to make pacts with that day, the Binder can fill many different roles within a group. By combining different vestiges and their granted abilities, the Binder can choose to either further specialize in his chosen role in the party, or create a unique combinations of abilities not possessed by any standard class.
One of the great strengths of Pact Magic is that, unlike spells, the special abilities granted by vestiges are not limited to a certain number of uses per day. Though each vestige does not grant a large number of abilities, a Binder who can make pacts with multiple vestiges can obtain a wide variety of abilities. Many of the more powerful abilities are only available once every five rounds, so a wise binder will make sure he has other abilities or items at his disposal between uses. The highest level vestiges allow access to some very strange and powerful combinations of abilities.
Though not naturally as formidable in combat as the warrior classes, the Binder has medium BAB, d8 HD, and Good Fort and Will Saves. In addition to their vestige granted abilities and pact augmentations, a Binder can be a potent combatant if he or she chooses to be. Despite having a low number of skills points (2+Int per level), the Binder's bonus feats in addition to skill bonuses grants by many of the vestiges will allow the Binder to be very potent in the skills he chooses to pursue.
In addition to this, I'd say, right from the start, Binders are RIDICULOUSLY complicated: if you haven't read the entire class, all the vestiges, and at least the first 3 posts to this thread, you will probably not play one to its entire potential. Even then, if you are an inexperienced player, STAY AWAY FROM THIS CLASS! Play a Rogue, instead, and max out Use-Magic Device for when you want to get tricky.
Play a Binder when:
- The healing, the arcane, and the trapfinding roles are covered (Binders aren't very efficient at these roles, though they can be decent secondary healers or arcanists. Trapfinding works well with Able Learner and moderate Int);
- You want to cover the party face role (Binders are GREAT at this!);
- You are playing gestalt rules, and want something cool on one side;
- You are going to be dealing with a campaign full of outsiders (all Binder abilities are Su: SR doesn't apply).
Introduction to Pact Magic
If you're at all familiar with magic of incarnum this system should be very intuitive. The flavor is almost the same even. Basically, you gain the ability to make "pacts" with vestiges (invulnerable souls that are neither dead nor alive) and gain special abilities via these pacts. Here's the general procedure:
Draw the vestige's seal: takes 1 minute and a "markable" surface. No checks are required to make this seal. Provokes an AoO. The drawn seal needs to be used w/in 1 minute of making, or doesn't work.
Call out the vestige's name, must be able to speak for this to work. Binding requires 1 minute more, or 1 full-round action at -10 to your check.
Make the binding check: (1d20 + effective binder level + cha modifier)
You get the benefits regardless of whether you made a bad pact or a good pact, but if you made a bad pact you have a certain role-playing restriction that you must obey, or else suffe a cumulative -1 on all your d20 rolls until you can remove the vestige.
There are two methods of speeding the process up: Vestige Phylactery (item) and Rapid Pact Making (feat). Rapid Pact Making doesn't work if you don't use Expel Vestige (feat), but the Phylactery performs the functions of both items in 1 round. Also, RAW, Rapid Pact Making doesn't remove the necessity to draw the seal (this was surely an oversight: this section of the book is full of inconsistencies; talk with your DM). The Vestige Phylactery is the way to go, but it costs 15k gp, so its a mid-to-high level item (Asteroth gives you the ability to make it, though, which is nice). You bind a vestige ahead of time to use it in combat, or leave it empty, and bind a vestige into it as needed. In other words, its not very practical to switch vestiges in the middle of the day, which decreases the Binders flexibility a little when compared to the Incarnate or Factotum.

Below is a list of Vestige and their granted abilities. I've updated the old lists with every vestige thats been published so far. There are four sources of official WotC vestiges aside from Tome of Magic:
- Dragon Magic (Ashardolon)
- Dragon #341 (Primus and Kas)
- Design and Development article (Vanus, http://boards1.wizards.com/leaving.php?destination=http://www.wizards.com/default.asp%3Fx%3Ddnd/dd/20060407a)
- Mind's Eye article (Abysm, Arete, The Triad, http://boards1.wizards.com/leaving.php?destination=http://www.wizards.com/default.asp%3Fx%3Ddnd/psm/20070119a
- Cityscape Web Enhancement (Astaroth, Deshartis, http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/we/20070307a)
- Class Chronicles: Binders (Zceryll, http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/frcc/20070718
- Dungeon Mag #148 (Ahazu)
- Dragon Mag #357 (Astaroth, again, Ansitif, Cabiri)
This makes for a total of 41 vestiges, which means a TON of combinations (I'll let a statistician do the math on that one). Summarized here.
Check out Epic Binders. Very nice abilities, as well!
Figuring out great combinations is kind of tough: some synergies are obvious, but many are not. When in doubt about what to do, determine randomly what you'll bind (use a deck of cards), then look to see what their abilities are and how well they synergize; just about any combination will turn out ok: these aren't weak abilities, after all. On top of that, check out this post for making custom vestiges and its index:
Thats ANOTHER 30+ vestiges, if you are looking for homebrew content... Pretty crazy.
There is a new Vestige and Prestige Class posted with full stats here. Its from the editor of Pathfinder, James Jacobs, and is about as official as non-WotC material gets.

Blogville is just a new world for me every day! I had a new visitor to my blog, and I returned her visit and found that her blog is about post card collecting. I have a little postcard collection too! (I know, you are all saying "what does this woman NOT collect?") I'll answer your question by saying, if it's expensive, I don't collect it! (Always the bargain hunter) Postcards are one of those inexpensive, easy to find items, and they intrigue me. Part of the intrigue is the graphics on older post cards, and part of the intrigue is what is written on the post card, or even how it is addressed! (Doesn't take much to pique my interest, does it?) I love to find a post card that is addressed with a name, a city, and a state. No street address or post office box. It makes me think of how small our world used to be (now, the street address or P.O. box number is required in addition to a zip code, and we are even supposed to use a zip code plus four)! Okay, I'm trying to get to the topic at hand. Marie at Cpaphil Vintage Postcards sponsors Postcard Friendship Friday in Blogville, and if you want to start your own postcard collection, she even has a wonderful variety of postcards for sale. I'm so excited to be joining this event by sharing a few of my friendship postcards.Since I don't have a scanner at home, I had to take photographs of my postcards, so I apologize for the quality of these pictures. This one says "Why! Hello Kid", and the sender has written his initials or name, "ED" on the picture of the man.
"To Seal Our Friendship...May the seal of True Friendship Between us be found, As long as we live, And the world goes round."
This is apparently a song, and the chorus is printed on the card. I love this one, because I love the sentiment that is conveyed by it.
"Life is a See Saw of ups and downs,
Life is a mixture of smiles and frowns;
But no need of worry, no need of friends,
If love has the middle and we have the ends."
To see more wonderful postcards, please go get the links from Mari at Cpaphil Vintage Postcards. It is so much fun to scroll through her and other's blogs and see all of the vintage postcards they have. Mari, thank you so much for sponsoring this fun event!
Although I don't have any pictures of it to share with you, I wanted to give you a recipe for Foodie Friday, sponsored by Gollum at Designs by Gollum. This recipe is from a cookbook entitled "Thirty Years at the Mansion", which are recipes from a woman who was the cook at the Arkansas Governer's Mansion for 30 years! Her name is Liza Ashley, and she did not have a formal education, so the recipes were not written down. The cookbook was written by Carolyn Huber, who recorded the recipes as Liza told them to her.
Mrs. Ashley greeting First Ladies Carter and Reagan. She has also met me, and I don't know why, but they didn't publish a picture of it in her cookbook!
1 loaf thinly sliced white bread
8 ounces cream cheese
1 large cucumber, pealed and grated (I use my food processer)
1 small onion, grated (food processer)
1 cup mayonnaise
Remove crusts from bread. Mix cream cheese, cucumber, onion and mayonnaise. Spread onto bread to make sandwiches. Quarter sandwiches into small triangles and serve.
Since she was always cooking for a crowd, this makes a lot of sandwiches! I often leave this spread in a container in the refrigerator and use it often. I also like to make the sandwiches about an hour before serving, and cover them and put them in the refrigerator. People who turn their noses up at the words "cucumber sandwich" love these, and so do I!
If you want to get some wonderful Spring Fling recipes, please visit Designs by Gollum.
Thanks so much for visiting me! I am sending these "friendship postcards" to you from me! They are addressed simply "To Blogville", and I bet all my friends will still get them! laurie

The International House at Palladium Hall is a community where living and learning is dynamic and constant. Both international and domestic students are invited to apply for this program, so that students from all nationalities may come together and learn from one another through meaningful exchanges and interactions.
This living learning community focuses on citizen diplomacy across the city and the world. We understand that making connections to other students is a critical component of any student's experience, but particularly for students visiting from another country for one semester, year, or multiple years. For American students, the International House is a phenomenal opportunity to participate in mulitcultural programs and social interactions with students from all over the world. Students who plan on studying abroad, or who are returning from abroad, are especially encouraged to apply!
International House is located in the Special Interest Suites in Palladium Hall (one large suite comprised of both single and double rooms that share a common space and kitchen). With close proximity to the multipurpose and seminar rooms for a global speaker series to large common spaces, Palladium is the ideal residence hall to host this amazing community. The International House is one of the best ways to connect to other international students and complement your incredible academic experience at NYU. You will also have a resident assistant (RA) who is specially trained to assist international students throughout their transition to and immersion in the United States and New York University. You will also have a faculty member designated for the floor (Faculty Affiliate). The Faculty Affiliate and Resident Assistant will collaboratively plan events and activities around the multicultural issues of New York City.
The International House also collaborates with R.I.S.E. (Residential International Student Engagement). Through events and programs, R.I.S.E provides an opportunity for foreign and domestic students at NYU to engage in citizen diplomacy, which is the fostering of global awareness, understanding, and cooperation through the exchange of ideas, stories, shared experiences, challenging dialogue, and intellectual growth.
International House is an exciting living learning community in which we hope you will become involved!
Incoming students may access the I-House application through the NYU Housing application (available through NYUHome: Housing Forms).
You will receive an e-mail with your I-House community placement information before the start of Phase II of the housing selection process in early Spring.

Linkert M51 set up for Stroked Scout
Hi guys
Its been a long while since I've needed advice, most problems with the bike have been pretty straight forward to sort out and for the most part I've been thoroughly enjoying riding the pants off of her.
Dirtyss has a 741b bottom end with harley crank and flathead power 45cu in jugs and pistons giving 830cc. I've fitted peek rings to the manifold and cured the leaks that were from the nipples and joints.
The Linkert m51 is fitted with a brass float - 1/4" level gave way to rich mixture with constant plug fouling, changing it to 3/8" gave smooth running from idle right through 3/4 of the rev range, although she's a little bit rich at the lower revs, the motor is leaning out in the top rpm range (plugs coming out clean)
The power needle is 1 3/4 turns out, a couple of clicks short of too much fuel, the scout 640 main nozzle has five holes - top three are 41 thou the bottom two being 76 thou, the correct externally vented 1 1/16" venturi is used.
I cannot see that raising the fuel level or adding a main jet is going to help other than bring back the unreliability issues with plugs etc.
Would changing the main nozzle to one with the larger top two or three holes and smaller lower holes alter the mixture curve to suit my bike better. ie the scout 641 nozzle ? or am I way off track here ?
Best regards to you all

In a formal response to an invitation extended in June, Canada has officially joined the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). The government of Canada says the move will "help create jobs, economic growth and long-term prosperity."
After undergoing the requisite review of its domestic trade policies, Canada has joined the other 10 countries already signed on to the trade pact. The 11 nations now comprising the TPP are Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, Vietnam, and the United States. This trading bloc has united to establish "a comprehensive free trade agreement across the region."
In his statement formally welcoming Canada to the TPP, U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk said:
Inviting Canada to join the TPP negotiations presents a unique opportunity for the United States to build upon this already dynamic trading relationship. Through TPP, we are bringing the relationship with our largest trading partner into the 21st century. We look forward to continuing consultations with the Congress and domestic stakeholders regarding Canada's entry into the TPP as we move closer to a broad-based, high-standard trade agreement in the Asia-Pacific region.
Notably, in both statements Ambassador Kirk places the approval of "domestic stakeholders" (read: large corporations) on a level with that of the Congress. It is precisely this exalting of big business that has troubled many of the people's representatives in Congress, as well as the as yet impenetrable wall of secrecy surrounding the drafting of the TPP treaty.
Zach Carter of the Huffington Post reported that Senator Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee's Subcommittee on International Trade, Customs and Global Competitiveness, was stonewalled by the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) when he attempted to see any of the draft documents related to the governance of the TPP.
In response to this rebuff, Wyden proposed a measure in the Senate that would force transparency on the process and that was enough to convince the USTR to grant the senator a peek at the documents, though his staff was not permitted to peruse them.

There's something about warm weather that makes people get a little frisky with their fashion choicesÂ--a sentiment that's particularly true on the red carpet right now! But rather than going for edgy silhouettes or barely-there dresses, tastemakers like Gwyneth Paltrow, Diane Kruger, and Kirsten Dunst are turning up the sartorial heat by opting for formal gowns in a slew of fluorescent hues.
Now, we know that neon is not new, of course, but the idea of day-glo colors for eveningwear certainly does feel fresh. This spring we were delighted to see Oscar de la Renta's extraordinary collection of silk gowns in the most vibrant shades of fuchsia, violet, and orange, wowed by Matthew Williamson's electric yellow cocktail frocks paired with black and gray ankle boots, and stunned by Valentino's glamorous gowns in such eighties shades. The contrast of the formality of the silhouettes with the in-your-face punk colors is refreshing to say the least, so we were truly pleased to note that the trend was catching on with the fashionable crowd.
Of all the many wonderful celebrity references we've seenÂ--like Sarah Jessica Parker's many neon nightsÂ--Dree Hemingway is definitely one of our favorite examples. Late last month, the model attended the amfAR Cinema Against AIDS Gala in Cannes wearing head-to-toe Valentino Haute Couture from the S/S 10 collection in a most modern way. We adore the way acid-yellow is really used as an accent to the frock's primary color palette of nude and blush; the contrast is so lovely, it definitely inspires us to create a similar combination for our next girls' night out. Another excellent reference point comes from Gwyneth Paltrow, who also opted for a shorter silhouette for the National Movie Awards in London. The actress eschewed the sober shades she usually wears for such events in favor of an electric pink Prada dress from F/W 10 and matching neon heels.
Of course, we also wanted to give you a little inspiration for some more formal optionsÂ--just in case you have a black-tie event on the horizonÂ--so we simply had to include the gowns Diane Kruger and Kirsten Dunst chose for the closing ceremonies of the 63rd annual Cannes Film Festival. Could Kruger have looked any more chic in her custom-made fuchsia chiffon and black lace Jason Wu gown? (Nope. Wu-ger wins again!) And how stunning does Ms. Dunst look in a hot-off-the runway turquoise column from Chanel's most recent resort collection worn with nude Jimmy Choo Emerald Heels? (Very!)
We hope you love these electric ladylike looks as much as we do and that you keep them in mind for all your summer events. Bear in mind that you don't need a haute couture budget to get the best neon-night lookÂ--we found loads of affordably priced bright pieces for your shopping pleasure. For an evening on the town with your best pals, we suggest Preen Line's Anchor Cutout Lace Dress ($680) because it has an eye-popping color and sexy body-con shape. If that is too much color for you, check out the similarly form-fitting Color Block Cut Out Dress ($169) by Aqua; it is mostly cream colored, save for a single neon orange accent. For your next cocktail party, try a cool blue hue like Tibi's Strapless Silk-Georgette Dress ($345) or a bright tangerine like Milly Balconette's Combo Dress $368) and you will be an instant crowd pleaser. Of course, dresses aren't the only way to add a fluorescent glow to your evening wardrobe. Liven up your ensembles with vibrant footwear like Schutz's Patent Peep-Toe Pump ($190) in neon lime or accessorize a neutral outfit with Jimmy Choo's Candy Clutch ($495) in pink or petrol.

An amnesty may be extended when the authority decides that bringing citizens into compliance with a law is more important than punishing them for past offenses. Amnesty after a war helps end a conflict. While laws against treason, sedition, etc.
are retained to discourage future traitors during future conflicts, it makes sense to forgive past offenders, after the enemy no longer exists which had attracted their support but a significant number remains in flight from authorities.
Amnesty is often used to get people to turn in contraband, as in the case of China's gun restrictions, or the Kansas City ban on pit bulls. Advantages of using amnesty may include avoiding expensive prosecutions (especially when massive numbers of violators are involved); prompting violators to come forward who might otherwise have eluded authorities; and promoting reconciliation between offenders and society.
An example of the latter was the amnesty that was granted to conscientious objectors and draft dodgers in the wake of the Vietnam War in the 1970s, in an effort by President Carter to heal war wounds. (There was no longer a war to protest, and there was no longer a draft to dodge.)
An example of an argument made for amnesty for undocumented immigrants is that they would be allowed to qualify for higher paying jobs, scholarships, and other services. According to the Center for Study of Immigration Integration, if California alone were to adopt an amnesty program, they would benefit by $16 billion (Pastor, 2010).
Workers who lacked a high-school diploma in 2006 earned an average of only $419 per week and had an unemployment rate of 6.8 percent. In contrast, workers with a bachelor's degree earned $962 per week and had an unemployment rate of 2.3 percent, while those with a doctorate earned $1,441 and had an unemployment rate of only 1.4 percent (Gonzales, 2010).
Changing a law is a better way to achieve whatever benefit an amnesty offers, if a nation determines that the law has made criminals of people who have done no harm, or deprived the nation of a benefit, and will in the future. Changing a law allows new conditions and requirements, offering more control over the results of any change, than amnesty.
Amnesty can at times raise questions of justice. An example was the Ugandan government's offer not to prosecute alleged war criminal Joseph Kony, in hopes that further bloodshed would be avoided. David Smock noted, "The downside of it is the impunity that it implies; that people can commit atrocities and say that they will only stop if they are given amnesty..."
A controversial issue in the United States is whether illegal immigrants should be granted some form of amnesty. It is proposed that illegal immigrants be able to come forward and immediately receive probationary status. This is criticized as being a reward for breaking the law. California Republican Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said an amnesty program similar to the one the federal government undertook in the late 1980s would be ill-advised today. It just didn't work.
"It backfired big-time. It sent the wrong message: You come here illegally, and then we go and give you amnesty. So then, the next million come and they say, 'Hey, we get amnesty, this is really terrific (Press, 2005).(wikipedia.org)

In a world where smartphones hold a special place in people's hearts and reign supreme, one would think that dumb phones are a thing of the past. Well, think again! The world may be under the addiction of smartphones like Unlocked iPhone 4 and the Droid X, but not everyone can afford to get a smartphone. T- Mobile does not normally team up with LG, but in this case has done so, and come out with three state-of-the-art dumb phones. For those who are not aware of the term "dumbphone", a dumbphone is one which is very similar to a smartphone, but does not have quite all the features that are present in a smart phone. Coming back to LG and T-Mobile, these two mobile giants have come together, possibly for the first time, and launched three dumbphones, and are actually more advanced than you might give them credit for. The three phones are- Sentio, dLite, and GS170. Of these, the Sentio is the most notable.
The LG's Unlocked ( Sentio ) comes as close to a smartphone as a dumbphone can get. The Sentio is a touch screen phone, and comes with a virtual QWERTY keyboard. It sports a 3 inch display, and supports the 3G networks provided by T-Mobile. It has a 3 megapixel camera, can shoot videos quite efficiently, and even enables users to record visual voicemails. This phone is GPS activated, and comes with a huge number of pre-loaded widgets, which a user can use to customize the home screen with. The Sentio has an application called Social Buzz, which manages activities like Facebook and Twitter more than efficiently. The phone is currently available in a soft, navy blue color, and is available in very few select retail stores only. It is available online on a two-year contract basis for $69.99, but the market-price of the Sentio has not been decided upon yet.
For those who cannot quite afford smartphones, dumbphones are just the thing for them. Dumbphones come closest to a smartphone in design, as well as features, and there are many users worldwide, who are satisfied with their dumbphones. Hopefully, the Sentio will also flourish in the market, and bring good luck to the collaboration between LG and T-Mobile.

In an era in this country where every Municipality, County, state and Federal official seems to need to by all the biggest and most expensive toys at substantial cost to the taxpayer...a round of applause. Our local volunteer fire department bought a new hook and ladder truck for close to 1/4 million with their selling point being it was ohh so necessary to have a ladder that reached 100 feet. The only thing that high within a 100 mile radius are farm silos...This is systemic to the nation.
We are all going broke due to this mentality..OPM.
you never know when an injured bird is going to get caught at the top of one of those silos...geesh...lol
Overkill is the new norm. 30 years ago it took 20+ min. To respond. Today it takes 20+ to respond. Nature of the beast as relates to volunteer FD's. doesn't matter if they got a 200' ladder and 500 hp engine. Instant just doesn't happen and never will.
This your new handle J????????
I was checking how to switch photos and I clicked that function. Gonna replace my face with a plane.
Go into your DISCUSSIONS and see if there is a test Email from me. Reply if there is.
Now that is how it should operate... Way to go Redlands.
...and that's the biggest barrier to legalization. The money flowing to all involved.
great idea and use of forfeited funds....a whole lot simpler and cheaper than all those drones everyone wants and this actually has the potential of helping pilots rather law enforcement minded or commercial pilot minded gain valuable and affordable flight time.
Win Win Situation.... Unless you are the Drug Dealer :)
They need to be thankful that they have access to that drug money. Lot's of cash strapped jurisdictions take the drug money into the general fund and would raise the roof giving it back and cause somebody to holler "we can't afford this". They are fortunate
And by putting into the general fund when there is less drug money that they have come to rely on here comes the cry we need to raise taxes.
Thank goodness for those drug pushers helping keep us safe. Lol
Where you been? Haven't seen you on here in about a month?
Lots hit bottom at once. Just got back from Oregon with my new plane though. Back in the air again like you.
Yeah, I been up there just doin' enough to stay current, mostly in the King Air. That CRJ should be done around 12/1. We figure a shakedown flight or 2 but doubt there'll be much serious going until after the 1st of the year.
RPD is giving new meaning to the old 60's slogan "where there's dope, there's hope".
Given the funding source tho', is it a conflict of interest for the Cessna to identify a pot farm?
Awesome Redlands PD. You have set an example for other municipalities to emulate!
Och Tamale gazolly gazump, rah, rah, Redlands!
two thumbs up to the redlands P D :-)
For some reason, Mexico gets lucky and gets the King Airs and corp. jets? I've seen them at Ensanada parked with the Mexican Army armed and won't even let you get near them!
Just imagine how much money it would bring in if it where legalized and taxed.
Yeah, go stick bogus charges on people to take their stuff and buy cool toys with it. Asset forfeiture has become BIG BUSINESS in this country, all thanks to the "War on Drugs".
Totally lame.

One reason for achieving goals is that people are motivated by self-gratification that may occur consciously or unconsciously (Aarts, 2007). Addressing needs, or accomplishing a task etc. are examples of goal achievement that occur on a regular basis. Some tasks however require more thought process and perhaps may involve more choices. While more choices are what society may strive for, it is arguably a positive outcome.
Take television or cable channels, for instance, the former may allow a person in the U.S. access to see 12 channels while the latter may result in 70 or more. A person can be content with watching one show at any given time or bits and pieces of many. Whereas channel surfing may be a popular past time it's hardly time well spent and people may even be less happy in the end. In the context of dating there may be the 'perfect [person] list' where there is an elusive perfect individual somewhere out there. The individual may be so overwhelmed with choices of an ideal that, again, the outcome is less than positive.
Iyengar, Wells, and Schwartz (2006) argue that too many choices can make someone feel worse rather than better. The researchers found that people who were fixed on options (i.e. TV channels or attributes on the perfect person list, for instance) and used external sources (i.e. TV guide and fashion) as information tended to be less happy. An explanation for the result is that, in pursuing the goal, the individual is in search for the ideal and while a person may have indeed performed better in some way in the end the ideal cannot been reached (Iyengar et al., 2006).

Analysis of Lyme Disease Lesions

- How to Read a Study Record
This study will analyze cells from erythema migrans lesions, the "bull's eye" rash of Lyme disease. Little is known about what happens in the skin when it is infected with Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacteria that cause Lyme disease. This study will examine and compare laboratory findings in skin biopsies from people with Lyme disease and from healthy normal volunteers to try to better understand the infection.
Healthy volunteers and people with untreated erythema migrans rash who are 18 years of age or older may be eligible for this study.
All participants undergo a clinical examination, blood tests, four skin biopsies (removal of a small piece of tissue for laboratory examination), and complete two health questionnaires. The biopsies are taken from the erythema migrans lesion in patients with Lyme disease and from skin on the legs, forearms, buttocks, or side from healthy volunteers. To collect the tissue, the skin at the biopsy site is numbed with injection of a local anesthetic and a sharp instrument is then used to remove a round plug of skin about the size of a pencil eraser. The wound may be closed with one or two sutures, or allowed to heal without sutures. The sutures are removed after a week to 10 days.
Patients with Lyme disease receive treatment for their condition. In addition, at the time the sutures are removed and at 4 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months after their first visit they fill out a questionnaire and have additional blood tests.
Erythema Migrans Lesions
Erythema Migrans
|Study Type:
|Official Title:
|Microarray Analysis of Erythema Migrans Lesions
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|August 2005
Little is known of the host and the bacteria response in vivo in patients with Lyme disease. In an attempt to better understand the pathology of erythema migrans (EM), we will use DNA microarrays to characterize gene expression patterns in skin biopsies from individuals with a diagnosis of EM and compared those to the patterns of gene expression seen in biopsies from normal, unaffected individuals. Biopsies from patients may also be evaluated for B. burgdorferi gene expression using microarrays. Patients diagnosed with erythema migrans will have 4 4-mm punch skin biopsies of affected area, and will return for 4 follow up visits in the course of a year. Therapy for Lyme disease will be offered. Healthy volunteers will have a screening visit, a visit for the skin biopsies and a follow up visit. Patients and healthy volunteers will be compensated for their time and inconvenience.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Age greater than or equal to 18 years

Four city residents were jailed Tuesday after being indicted in St. Lawrence County Court for dealing crack cocaine and prescription painkillers in the city.
City police and members of the St. Lawrence County Drug Task Force arrested Kelly J. Ellard-Staton, 37, of 125 Belmont Courts, David A. Hazelton, 37, of 1062 Washington St., Jeffrey W. Brenno, 56, of 212 Linden Lane, and Edwin G. Roach Jr., 53, of 511 Knox St.
A fifth person was taken into custody Tuesday evening on drug charges, but city police said they could not release specific information until the suspect was arraigned today in county court.
City police said Ms. Ellard-Staton was charged with four counts each of third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance and third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance. Mr. Hazelton and Mr. Roach were both charged with two counts each of third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance and third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance. Mr. Roach was additionally charged with one count each of fifth-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance and fifth-degree possession, which were the same charges brought against Mr. Brenno.
All of the charges against the four are felonies.
Mr. Brenno and Mr. Roach are accused of selling Vicodin, a prescription narcotic painkiller. Ms. Ellard-Staton and Mr. Hazelton were accused of dealing crack cocaine.
Police said as they were serving the four with arrest warrants, they saw Anthony Hester, alias Q, 24, of Brooklyn, attempting to hide drug paraphernalia on his person. He gave police a false name and presented someone elses state identification card. Police said they found he was wanted on a state parole warrant out of New York City for absconding. He had been originally charged with first-degree robbery, city police said. He was charged with second-degree criminal impersonation and unlawful possession of marijuana. He was arraigned in city court and sent to St. Lawrence County jail, Canton, without bail.
Ms. Ellard-Staton and Mr. Hazelton were each sent to county jail on $25,000 cash or $50,000 bail bond. Mr. Brenno was jailed on $20,000 bail or bond, and Mr. Roach was jailed on $15,000 cash or $20,000 bond. Police said more arrests are pending.
Ogdensburg Det. Daniel Mousaw said Mr. Hester, although he was not arrested as a direct result of their drug investigation, Ms. Ellard-Staton and Mr. Hazelton were associated with four Buffalo men arrested late last year for operating a crack cocaine ring at Belmont Courts.
He declined further comment because the investigation is continuing.
Charles J.H. Caviness, 24; Eldridge Gossom, 25; Andre L. Wilson, 40; and Tige K. Smith Jr., 24, were all charged Dec. 6 with third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a Class B felony, following a raid by city police on an apartment at 325 Belmont Courts.
Police said the arrests were the culmination of an ongoing investigation into crack cocaine trafficking in the city. All four have entered not guilty pleas to the charges in county court.

WILLIAMSVILLE, N.Y -In high school at Williamsville North Corrin Genovese starred in both softball and basketball. Now she's taken her softball talents to the University of Missouri. Genovese recently finished up her first full season of college softball at the University of Missouri.
Not only did Genovese impress her teammates and coaches, but also the rest of the country. Genovese was named Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year as voted on by the Big 12 coaches. The shortstop made just six errors on 177 chances in 61 games on the season. She committed just two errors in 90 chances in Big 12 conference play.
The best part about Genovese might not even be her glove. Her dedication to the game makes her a one of a kind team player, "I'm going to dive and make a play because I want to get my jersey dirty for my pitcher," Genovese said.
Genovese's Missouri Tigers fell just one game short of the Women's College World Series this year as they lost in the NCAA Super Regionals to the LSU Tigers in a best-of-three series. Regardless of coming up just short of the ultimate goal, Genovese says the experience was like none other, "The intensity that each playoff game brought, every time we went to the next level of the playoffs it was the biggest game that I've ever played in my life."
Genovese is now back in the East Amherst, New York area for the summer working on improving her skills for next season. She plans to participate in several softball tournaments throughout the summer to continue to get better.
While Genovese starred in the field, she says she could improve at the plate. The soon to be sophomore says that one of the biggest adjustments from high school to college softball has been the pitching, "The biggest adjustment would be the pitchers and how they use their off speed pitches instead of mostly just fastballs," Genovese said.
Genovese hit .220 in 164 at-bats smacking four homeruns and collecting 23 RBI's. She also stole eight bases in her freshman season.
Next spring, Genovese and the Tigers will try to improve their 47-14 overall record they put up in the 2012 season. The ultimate goal remains a Women's College World Series Championship.

|Gary Berensen, Media Instructor at Mont Harmon
At Mont Harmon Junior high books and breakfast go hand in hand. Every month Gary Berensen conducts a book talk at the junior high school but rather than a classroom the students meet in the library and are served pancakes and sausages.
Berensen is the library media teacher at Mont Harmon and feels the monthly Book Talk increases awareness of reading and books. "Kids get excited about the different authors and they want to learn more," explained Berensen.
Last week about 25 students showed up at the library for the breakfast and learned about authors Lurlene McDaniel and Gary Paulsen. Both authors write their books in series and one often caters to the girls with titles like "I want to Love," "Telling Christina Good-bye," and "Last Wish." While Paulsen's work is often directed to the young male readers with titles like, "The Crossing,", Brian's winter," and "Rifle and River."
Savanah Cowdell, a student, talked about the McDaniel series and Berensen outlined the Paulsen series by explaining that the stories center around a young man's adventures in Alaska, following a plane crash in a remote area of the state.
Called the Breakfast Book Club, the cooks for this past week's event include the district Superintendent Dr. David Armstrong, Science teacher Pat Neal and Michelle Goldsmith, special education instructor.
Berensen explained that students who are not athletes are targeted to participate in the book club, thus giving another group of students recognition and support. The students leading the discussion get credits for their participation.
Next month the discussion will be centered around the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew.

Accessible tourism in Europe Publicado em: 07/11/2013, Última atualização: 17/12/2013
|Data do evento:
|03/12 > 04/12/2013
Building Charlemagne
Rue de la loi 170 - 100 Brussels - (Belgium)
|Ponha no seu calendário
The European Commission - DG Justice and DG Enterprise and Industry – celebrated on 3 and 4 December 2013, the "European Day of Persons with Disabilities" and the "European Tourism Day" 2013 with the Joint Conference on "Accessible Tourism in Europe"
The aim of this two-fold event was to raise awareness on the right of everybody to have equal access to tourism services and destinations and to present some success stories and best practices in the field.
Tourism is an important source of growth for the economy in Europe, representing today 1.8 million businesses and approximately 9.7 million jobs. However, travelling can still be a real challenge for some people as finding the information on services, checking luggage on a plane, booking an accessible room often prove to be difficult, costly and time consuming.
The conference was part of the EU's wider efforts to promote the mainstreaming of disability issues in line with the EU Disability Strategy 2010-2020 and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UN CRPD).
On 3 December the discussion took a closer look at access and accessibility for tourists and residents from the users' perspective. The conference showed examples of good practices of Tourism for All, and possible solutions for the obstacles most frequently encountered.
On 4 December the conference covered the practical, political and economic aspects of these issues, focusing on how to overcome barriers that are limiting the potential of a more open Europe to international tourism and benefit from the tourism industry.
Ms. Viviane Reding, Vice-President of the European Commission responsible for Justice, chaired the Access City Award 2014 on 3rd December.
Mr. Antonio Tajani, Vice-President of the European Commission responsible for Entrepreneurship and Industrial Policy, concluded the joint event on 4th December.
