Big Finish Celebrates Fifteen Years of Doctor Who Audio Dramas
In July, Big Finish Productions celebrates fifteen years producing licensed Doctor Who audio dramas. In celebration of this milestone, we'll take a look at the history of Big Finish's work this week and next week we'll review one of their latest releases as we take a look at some of the most successful contemporary audio drama being produced.
From 1963-1989, BBC aired Doctor Who which chronicled the adventures of the Doctor, a time travelling alien known as a Time Lord. Every few years, the Doctor would "regenerate" and take on a different face and a somewhat different personality than he had previously. This element introduced when the first actor to play the doctor, William Hartnell was ailing. This served to allow the recasting of the role and since then had served to allow both the lead and the direction of the series to change while still remaining Doctor Who.
There were seven doctors in those twenty-six years, the most popular of which was Tom Baker's Fourth Doctor which ran for seven years. Baker's multi-colored scarf became iconically associated with the show. Still eight seasons, after he'd left the show left the air with a whimper in the final Seventh Doctor story, "Survivor."
After that, Doctor Who went off the air for most of the next sixteen years. 1996 saw a joint U.S./British effort to revive Doctor Who with a made for TV movie that aired over Fox and starred Paul McGann as the Eighth Doctor. When the TV was made, McGann hoped to star in a brand new Doctor Who Television series, but that failed to materialize.
The series would finally return to television in 2005 and become an international sensation.
However, during the intervening years, that didn't meant Doctor Who wasn't being made...it just wasn't being made on Television.
Doctor Who and Radio
During Doctor Who's television run, audio dramas didn't play a huge part in the series. The fourth Doctor recorded two audio dramas in 1970s, one of which was a 20 minute educational piece on geography, as well as a 45 minute commercial release Doctor Who and the Pescatons which was kind of a hybrid of audiobook and radio drama. In 1985, during an eighteen month hiatus for the TV show, the Sixth Doctor played by Colin Baker starred in a radio serial Slipback.
In 1993, Doctor Who returned to BBC radio with an intriguing idea. The Doctor present was not the last doctor to appear on television, but the Third Doctor played by Jon Pertwee who'd left the series nearly twenty years before. The story Paradise of Death was set in the midst of the eleventh season of Doctor Who.
The program was a success and fans demanded more. Pertwee made a second program in 1994 but there were snags in getting the program to air as the BBC was wrangling with potential suitors to purchase rights to the series according to Pertwee and the story, The Ghosts of N-Space didn't end up airing until January of 1996, a few months before Pertwee died.
The demand for Doctor Who audio continued through the series' dedicated fan base. Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Allred who had played the Seventh Doctor and his companion Ace starred in a series of audio dramas called The Professor and Ace which while avoiding flagrant copyright violation, was obviously an attempt to tell a Doctor Who story without the Doctor's time machine The TARDIS or other tropes of the series.
In addition, many fans made unauthorized productions of Doctor Who. One of these being the Audio Visual tapes in the mid-1980s and early 1990s. Many of those involved in these efforts helped to start Big Finish Productions in 1996, a company focused on producing audio dramas.
Big Finish's first release were audio dramas featuring Bernice Summerfield, a character who had first appeared in Virgin's New Adventures Doctor Who novels but was licensed seperately from the Doctor Who series. Some novels that had featured the Doctor were rewritten to feature the Summerfield alone.
However, Big Finish would quickly move on to bigger things. They negotiated non-exclusive rights to produce new Doctor Who audio dramas secured the involvement of Peter Davison, Colin Baker, and Sylvester McCoy who had played the fifth through seventh doctors on the TV series. The format of the new Doctor Who Adventures would be much like the Pertwee BBC dramas except there would be one new Doctor Who Adventure per month beginning with the Sirens of Time, an adventure which would feature all three Doctors in it. From there on out, each month Big Finish put out a new Doctor Who full cast audio drama featuring one of the three doctors.
Big Finish added Paul McGann's Eight Doctor to its lineup in January 2001, thus allowing him the chance to realize the hope of being able to play the Doctor in a series of dramas rather than just the single telefilm.
Big Finish continued to expand its line of programs, adding several Doctor Who spinoffs including a series about Doctor Who enemies the Daleks and Cybermen as well as one about 1970s Doctor Who companion Sarah Jane Smith, one about U.N.I.T., a military organization from the series, as well as a series of alternate dimension looks at the Doctor.
The revival of Doctor Who on television didn't end Big Finish's run on Doctor. In fact, one of the Big Finish Audio plays actually became the basis for one of the revived Series' most acclaimed episodes, "Dalek." However, Big Finish was only allowed to use stories featuring the first eight doctors and scripts for radio dramas were scrutinized by the production team for the television series in Cardiff to be sure that nothing would in the radio drama would conflict with the television series.
These limits haven't really hurt Big Finish as they've continued to expand their Doctor Who spinoffs including the very popular Jago and Lightfoot series, while also obtaining licenses for new audiobooks and audio dramas based on programs such as the gothic horror classic Dark Shadows, Stargate: SG1, and the British Sci Fi classic, Blake's 7.
On the Doctor Who front, after nearly three decades of refusing to reprise his most famous role as the third doctor, Tom Baker joined Big Finish in performing a series of new adventures, joined by his former compatriots. In 2013, as Doctor Who celebrated its fiftieth anniversary Big Finish put on its own fiftieth anniversary special featuring the fourth through eighth doctors, Light at the End, which some fans consider to be superior to the internationally broadcast television special featuring the two latest Doctors.
In advance of the fiftieth anniversary television special, McGann's Eighth Doctor finally has his regeneration scene and recognized all of his companions from the audiobooks which many interpreted as making all (or most) of the audio dramas canonical within the Doctor Who universe.
When Big Finish began doing Doctor Who fifteen years ago, it was taking advantage of huge demand from fans who demanded more of a series they loved, and having the cooperation of original actors certainly helped.
However, the audio dramas proved to be winners all around. Big Finish Productions was able to make a wide variety of stories including large tales with relatively small casts. Actors enjoyed a family atmosphere as well as the unique opportunity radio opportunity afforded to play a wide variety of characters. And many fans discovered the benefits of radio drama. One of the chief challenges of the Classic Doctor Who series was that its special effects budget were often quite limited, but the power of audio is that you can have as big of an effect as you want when you're playing the theater of the mind.
Thus, Big Finish's Doctor Who work has survived and thrived for fifteen years. Well done and good luck on many more.

Huber Technical Information
Fire-Rated Assemblies for Wood Frame Construction
Many fire-rated assemblies specified and built today were originally tested and approved with plywood as the floor covering. In 2000, engineers at Underwriters Laboratories (UL) of Northbrook, IL, determined that OSB of an equivalent thickness could be substituted for plywood in these designs.
In certain applications, building codes require a fire resistant rating to contain fire in a particular area or room of a building for a specified length of time. The fire resistant rating can be defined as the time in hours (or minutes) that a material or assembly of materials will withstand the passage of fire. Conversely, the Flame Spread Rating is a measure of the speed it takes flame to spread on the surface of material. The flame spread rating for AdvanTech is Class III (C).

Pencils by Rick Veitch for UNKNOWN SOLDIER #21Thu, 06/03/2010 - 1:00pm |
In the previous post by Rick Veitch you saw the inks for pages 1-3 of the upcoming issue, #21, of UNKNOWN SOLDIER. Now take a look at the pencils:
Rick Veitch talks Unknown Soldier #21Thu, 06/03/2010 - 8:00am |
Josh's concept for UNKNOWN SOLDIER #21 is the kind of elegant story idea you don't see enough of these days. It immediately reminded me of how Will Eisner used to zero in on a single unexpected element, like an inanimate object, and turn a Spirit 8-pager into a masterpiece. Josh's "A Gun For Africa" follows a specific Kalashnikov AK-47 machine gun from it's manufacture in a 1970's Eastern bloc factory into Africa and through the many lives and deaths it comes to define.
Make War No More : Editor Will Dennis on Memorial DayFri, 05/28/2010 - 8:00am |
Back in the 1970's, DC war comics like SGT ROCK started quietly featuring a slug at the end of the issue that read "MAKE WAR NO MORE." It was a simple and honest appeal on the part of the creators and the company to a nation still trying to heal itself from the wounds of The Vietnam War.

From the Editor's Desk: Pornsak Pichetshote chats with Mike Carey and Josh Dysart about researchWed, 03/24/2010 - 10:13am |
Anyone who knows me knows that when it comes to fiction, I'm kind of a technique freak. I love learning how it's all put together. And for a guy interested in that, editing is a great seat to have. For example, I edit two completely different books, THE UNWRITTEN and UNKNOWN SOLDIER.

THREE OF MY FAVORITE PAGES FROM THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER Vol. 2: EASY KILL (on sale March 17 in comic stores and everywhere books are sold March 23) by writer Josh Dysart
From the Editor's Desk: Pornsak Pichetshote talks Alberto Ponticelli artWed, 01/27/2010 - 8:00am |
Comic book editors come from all kinds of interesting origins. Some are writers, some are artists, others use incriminating photos. Me, before getting into comics, I had a writing and film background, so maybe that's why I'm so fascinated by the ins and outs of comic book artists and the voodoo that they do.

On The Lot: Contestant Films
(S01E15) It's a sad thing when the reveal of who's leaving a reality show is more interesting than the actual show.
Case in point, Zach went home this week and we were forced to hear his stifled crying while Adam, Jason, Will, and Sam were named the final four. I liked Zach, but his odes to such-and-such director were getting old and lacked any originality.
Tonight's guest judge was F. Gary Gray, director of The Italian Job, Set It Off, and Friday.
This week, America decided the log line for the final four: A man wakes up and finds himself in a dress but can't remember what happened the night before. Lame. What about: A man wakes up and finds that he's trapped inside a horrible reality show about directors trying to win a deal with Dreamworks?
Ah, I digress. This week's shorts played as followed:
#1 - Will - The Yes Men
Synopsis: Group of white-collar workers discover their boss in a dress after a dry cleaning mix-up.
Carrie - There was so much dialogue, I almost didn't recognize it as one of your films. It was a great look. Congratulations.
Gary - I thought it was funy and had god style. Maybe a little less music. Overall it was a success.
Garry - Everyone in the movie was funny which means the director was good. Excellent job.
I think the lead character was cast brilliantly. He was huge and looked like the last person you'd ever see in a dress, which was obviously the point. It was genuinely funny in some places, the music had the perfect whimsical theme, and the writing just worked. Great start to the evening.
#2 - Sam - Dressed For Success
Synopsis: Guy gets taught a lesson but it doesn't go exactly as planned.
Carrie - I thought this was a little reminiscent of Nine to Five and Saw. You can do stuff that's similar but it has to be incredibly original.
Gary - Started strong visually, but I agree. Your movie had two different tones, and you didn't manage it that well.
Garry - The pace could have been a little faster. Thought in general that this could have been a drop higher.
You know what this show is missing? A real asshole of a judge. I think Brett Ratner was going to fill that role, but he smelled the stink on this show after a single episode and disappeared. If we had an asshole judge, they wouldn't have used kid gloves with their critiques and told Sam that this film was an absolute mess. I really enjoyed his last attempts, but man, this one guaranteed that he'll be the one leaving after this week.
#3 - Adam - Army Guy
Synopsis: A soldier wakes up in a very strange house.
Carrie - One of the most innovative, freaky, fantastic films I have seen in this competition. I think it's one of the best things I've seen. Unbelievably inventive. Really, really awesome.
Gary - I think it was brave and you did a great job. It was really inventive. Amazing job.
Garry - I thought it was ambitious and you used all the tools of film making. Spectacular job.
Holy crap, that killed me! I watched it twice and I haven't wanted to do that with these films for a long, long time. I liked the little touches in the film like the brick wall that led to nowhere, the one doll whose crazy hair was teased out a little too much, and the rubber knife. I also thought the ending was killer and would actually be my own personal hell.
#4 - Jason - Oh Boy
Synopsis: A man wakes up to find he's at the end of a vengeful game.
Carrie - Jason, you have a signature in your films. There's a sweet sense of relationship in your films. Thought it was very good and liked it much better than your movie last week.
Gary - I think you're getting better. I feel like it was a little bit safe though.
Garry - Your films are good and they have gentleness in it. You know how to deal with the power of kindness very well and it will help you in your film career.
Yeah, it's official that Carrie and Garry are off their rockers. Jason's a decent director as far as his technical skills are concerned, but to say that this film has a "sweet sense of relationship" when it was about revenge and embarrassing someone is ludicrous. I know Jason thinks he's up there with Will in the final showdown, but maybe America will wise up and vote his butt home.
If you ask me, there is a pretty good split between the good movies tonight and the not so great movies. We'll see soon enough who makes it to the final cut. I'm hoping for Will and Adam at this point.
Favorite movies of the night:
Carrie - Army Guy
Gary - Army Guy
Garry - Army Guy
JJ - Army Guy
|#1 - Will - The Yes Men

Ashton Shepherd will take fans 'where country grows' in GAC's new special, Ashton Shepherd: Where Country Grows, premiering on Monday, September 19 at 9/8 CT. Her family, friends and music industry insiders give an intimate look at who Ashton is and how growing up in Leroy, Alabama shaped her to be the person she is today. While her career is based out of Nashville these days, she remains a resident of Leroy.
"My life in Leroy is of course very different from the Nashville scene," Ashton said. "It's very country and very laid back. Being a country music star was very dream like, coming from such a rural area where everybody had their ideas of what they wanted to do when they grew up. I tried to learn what I should do and I was a little scared of having a record deal."
5 Things You Don't Know About Ashton >>
Ashton began writing songs before she could even spell the words. Her self-financed 3-song demo landed in the hands of Universal Music's Luke Lewis who offered her a record deal. Her family is still in awe that Ashton is living her dream. "It's still surreal when you hear her on the radio or see her on the Internet," said her sister, Tara. "You can type her name in Google and there she is but to me she's just sis."
"There's a happiness that I don't even know how to describe," said her husband, Roland Cunningham. "You feel it for someone that started as an underdog and then you hear her on the radio and it's like, 'Yes!' And she did it with a smile on her face."
Read our review of Ashton's new album , Where Country Grows! >>
During the special, fans will be treated to family photos and videos that date back to Ashton's first talent contest at age eight and a half where she performed two Patsy Cline songs and received her first standing ovation. Her son, five-year-old James, also makes an appearance, picking mulberries and having fun at a cookout with his mom. Ashton welcomed another child to her family last week when she gave birth to daughter Raden Delilah.
Ashton's new video, "Where Country Grows," will premiere during the special. You don't want to miss it!

One day after Alex Rodriguez told reporters he was done talking about anything off-the-field, the Yankees' third baseman has instructed his legal team to do the same, according to ESPNNewYork.com's Andrew Marchand.
"I'm shutting it all down," Rodriguez told ESPNNewYork.com. "I'm shutting it all down, just focusing on baseball, just baseball."

Rodriguez's new attorney Joseph Tacopina used the media multiple times throughout the last week to attack the Yankees, team president Randy Levine, team doctor Chris Ahmad and Major League Baseball. Now, Rodriguez has told Tacopina and his legal team to stop talking about any distractions off the field so he and the Yankees can focus on the playoff push—one in which they're not far out of.
"We have 30-something games? That's the only focus," Rodriguez said. "That's coming from me."
Rodriguez was not in the lineup Wednesday night against Toronto after playing both ends of a double header Tuesday.
"I chose to give him tonight off and play him [Thursday]," Girardi told reporters before the game.
The Yankees entered Wednesday night 6½ games behind the Boston Red Sox in the AL East and five back in the wild card race. There are 37 games remaining in the season.
"Every game is important," Rodriguez said later to a group of reporters. "The playoffs are what we are thinking about. That is the reason that I shut everything down."

This little Korean establishment sits right in the heart of Northbridge's ever famous William Street and is quite a sight as you drive past the more dilapidated stores around it. With a nice white signboard, you can hardly miss it.
Good ol' mom and myself were shopping around Northbridge one day and was initially thinking of heading to Tak Chee for some Chicken Rice, but we both got I'm-so-sick-of-chicken-rice vibes from each other, and as we looked around, mom suggested we try this little place. The food engineer in me was up for some new stuff!
We had a look at the menu outside first before going in because we wanted to be sure there was stuff for both of us to eat. Mom's a great fan of the traditional bibimbap dish which is rice mixed with vegetables (and beef), with a nice fried egg on top, served in a really hot stone pot.
Just glancing at the menu was enough to make me drool, so we waltzed in.
The interior of the restaurant was as simple as its signboard outside. You're wondering why there wasn't a single soul in the restaurant?? My family has a tradition of eating very very early. We eat lunches at 11.30am when people are really having their brunch, and we have dinner at 6pm, when people are just settling down after tea. So if you're wondering why Miss Egg's photos are full of empty restaurants, it has absolutely nothing to do with how good they are!! :)
So, as we skimmed through the menu one more time, Mom was quite clear as to what she would like to order.
As for me, I took the time to just decide between the two soup based dishes. In the end, here was our order:
- Bibimbap (beef)
- Kimchi Soup with Rice
- Korean vegetarian pancake
Both dishes came with some decent side dishes and a bowl of miso soup.
In the light of being really random, we decided to also try the korean pancake – something we're both all too familiar with because we would buy the flour mix from korean oriental stores and do our own!
The bibimbap came out looking rather appetising! Mom was very happy she got her stone pot (she loves her food piping hot!). There was a nice generous serving of vegetables, but a rather pitiful amount of beef (which came by way of beef balls). Not too worth the increase in price if you asked us (comparing with the standard bibimbap which consists of just vegetables). The chilli always comes as an accompaniment to the dish, but for spicy lovers, ask for more when the waitress serves the dish!! The one serve is not enough for sure.
Like what I have always been taught, when it comes to dishes like that, the chilli is really what drives the difference between average and really good. In this case, it was really quite the average dish.
I do give them kudos for the sesame seeds on top! I haven't seen this before. And I love, absolutely love those sesame seeds!
The kimchi soup smelled lovely when it was served, and yes, it did make me drool even more than I already was!
The kimchi soup is meant to have pork and tofu, and unlike the bibimbap, the soup had a rather generous serving of the meat, in which I didn't really finish because I'm not a fan of pork – just love the taste it gives to soups and gravy, etc.
I loved the taste of the soup, although I have tasted better. Not quite spicy enough, but then again, we wouldn't want to be suffering all the way through the pot of soup, would we now?
Overall, this dish was pretty good, albeit the presence of better kimchi soups around Perth.
The korean pancake looked exactly like how we would do it at home… the only difference is in its texture. It's got a softer and wetter texture than what mom and myself would cook at home… and was actually rather oily. That said, it was lovely to know we were doing the right thing after so long!
The pancake was served with a nice sauce, in which I have no idea what it was made of… great accompaniment! Absolutely loved the sauce. :)
This is a lovely dish for those of you who like to munch on snacks. It's got that kind of charm.
We enjoyed this pancake! So much so the next time we went there, we went one step further to try the kimchi pancake, which is really just the same thing, except in a colour resembling the kimchi soup. And of course, the taste is a tad to the sour side, as opposed to the default salty taste.
The waitress who served us during this lunch was a lovely sweet young lady, who was very accommodating to our requests and needs. Clean environment, with a nice simple ambience that will stretch to the arms of family dinners. :)
I would definitely be visiting this place again, reasonable prices for their food!

Millennium is a concentrated cactus beverage formulated upon the principles of Nutritional Immunology. Besides cactus, Millennium contains royal jelly and honey to provide an excellent source of nutrients for the body.
Cactus is a natural plant food that is rich in phytochemicals. Research has revealed many amazing benefits of cactus. It can strengthen the immune system, improve cholesterol levels and speed up wound healing.
Tremendous amounts of effort and time go into producing Millennium/Millennium Red. Cactus does not produce much extracted juice. Thus, it takes a large quantity of cacti to produce a single pack of Millennium/Millennium Red. In addition, the cactus requires many years of growth before it is ripe for harvest.
Obtaining the cactus extract is a complex and arduous task. First, the spines and thick epidermis are removed. Next, the cactus gel is used immediately to retain maximum nutritional value. To remove insoluble particles including seeds, the cactus gel undergoes several filtration processes, which remove the micro and macro particles. Microfiltration filters away lung-damaging dust and other substances in the macro molecular range. Ultrafiltration, the final step, separates particles by molecular weight.
When the cactus gel has gone through all these filtration processes, it still retains its effective nutrients, but it is virtually contaminant-free and will not spoil, thereby requiring no preservatives. This filtration process also concentrates the nutrients as they are being filtered.
This is achieved through treatment with enzymes and lowering the juice concentration.
Commercial clear fruit juices, such as apple juice, are treated with enzymes like Röhalase HT (RO) and Tyazyme L300 (TY) amylases. These enzymes quickly hydrolyze starch contents—soluble pectinaceous materials, hemicellulose and other polymers and colloids. Hence, enzymes are widely used in fruit juice clarification procedures even if filtration is used.
E. Excel does not use enzymes during the manufacturing process of its products so that the natural wholesomeness of plant foods is retained. In addition, Millennium has a very high concentration of cactus. Hence white specks may sometimes appear in Millennium.
The main ingredient in Millennium is cactus. The concentration and percentage of cactus used in Millennium is always consistent from batch to batch. Moreover, cactus does not have a sour taste, so it does not affect how the product tastes. The sweetness of honey used in Millennium is also standardized, so any variations in product taste is not attributable to honey. Lemon is most likely the reason behind variations in sweetness. Lemon acidity varies from harvest to harvest, and most lemon-based beverages in the market have either citric acid or ascorbic acid (vitamin C) added to them to ensure consistency in taste. At E. Excel, the nutritional value of a product is the most important criterion. We do not use citric acid, and will not increase the amount of lemon juice and reduce the amount of other ingredients just so as to achieve a consistent taste. Hence, you can be reassured that the nutritional content and value of Millennium will remain unchanged even if product taste and sweetness may vary between batches.

Please refer to this GVO vs Aweber vs GetResponse AutoResponder Review for the most up to date information regarding which autoresponder I recommend and why due to more thorough testing and longer use since this review was posted.
——Original Post Starts Below Here———
Aweber or GetResponse
Who Wins?
The Aweber or GetResponse debate is very common, however, not easy to determine a clear winner. There are good arguments and statistics to support both autoresponders. Currently Aweber and GetResponse are two of the most popular autoresponder services in the market.
An autoresponder is required for the purpose of enabling you to follow up any correspondence or communication with your clients, customers and prospects. It assists in building an interested buyer list of people that will continue to come back to see what you have to offer.
Aweber or GetResponse – My winner is Aweber (sorry GetResponse)
My preferred winner for the Aweber or GetResponse debate is Aweber. To see why Aweber is preferred we need to properly and objectively analyze the benefits and restrictions of each. Let's do that below and you can make the choice for yourself.
My preferences or anybody else's may not the same for you, so you might value the different features of Aweber and GetResponse much differently. Aweber is a bit more expensive than GetResponse, but I'd rather pay a little more for something that I'm extremely happy with, than try to save a few bucks. Aweber is very easy to use and it offers excellent support from my experience and others.
Aweber is a widely used Autoresponder that was established in 1998. It is mostly used by the small business community that wants to automate follow up of emails, delivery of newsletters and broadcasting messages to their website visitors. Aweber currently serves more than 102,000 customers with an extremely high satisfaction rating and growing.
GetResponse autoresponder was founded in 1998 as well. GetResponse currently has more than 210,000 clients. If you simply solve the Aweber or GetResponse debate by who has more clients, then GetResponse wins; but is that the best way to judge something?
Some clients prefer GetResponse, because it's easy to use and has a web-based email interface.
Aweber or GetResponse Pricing? GetResponse Costs Less
One of the main factors people debate between Aweber or GetResponse is the cost. You need to consider the pricing of these two autoresponders and how the cost will affect you.
Aweber Pricing Plan
Aweber bases its pricing depending on the amount of subscribers on your list. The pricing plan starts at $19 per month for up to 500 subscribers. Aweber pricing plan increases as your subscribers increase. The more subscribers the more the monthly service cost.
GetResponse pricing plan begins at $9.95 monthly for up to 250 subscribers. The pricing levels are comparable to Aweber; however, the cost for GetResponse is slightly lower. GetResponse also offers the annual discount of 18% if you subscribe to their service for a full year.
When you compare pricing between Aweber or GetResponse it's clear that GetResponse would save you a few extra bucks. GetResponse would be the winner if we only looked at cost.
Aweber or GetResponse – Experience & Satisfaction? I Choose Aweber
I did a 30-day trial with both Aweber and GetResponse, because at the end of the day I feel that's the best way to come to a decision. Experience it for yourself or get advice from someone that has. Personally I found Aweber easier to use and more in-line with my preferences. Others might have an altogether different experience and feel GetResponse is easier and more in-line with their preferences. The Aweber customer service is top notch and I have never experienced any issues with incorrect data, missing emails or system issues.
I'm extremely satisfied with Aweber, which is why ALL the leads I generate online are funneled through Aweber.

Given the growing popularity of the Festival, it's advisable to make reservations early, particularly for that first downtown weekend with the mock 'pirate invasion', the parade, the two free street dances, and the big fireworks show. Hotel rooms are in short supply during the run of the Festival, as are rental cars. For more information please visit our Official Cayman Islands Tourism website at
Many of the major events are free, such as the Fireworks Show, the Pirate Landing, the Float Parade, the three harbour-side Street Dances, the Teen Dance, the Kids' Fun Day, and the Turtle Release. District Day functions are free during the day and from CI$7 and up at night. For most sports events, participation costs around US$25.

Getting Around
The downtown activities, on the first weekend and the last, are within 5-10 minutes' driving from most hotels in the Seven Mile Beach area, while the Heritage Days, out of town, are about a 30-minute drive. Taxi service to any evening function should be arranged in advance as they can be difficult to get at night. Some bus service is also available; ask at your hotel or condo reception, or call the Pirates Week Office.
All of the evening functions feature local dishes, well prepared, and served in convenient take-away containers. The prices are reasonable (approximately US$15 and less), and the helpings are generous. The food booths are in a separate area away from the music site.
Several bar facilities (fruit juices included) are available at the street dances, and drinks are reasonably priced. Signs indicate the location of portable toilets at the various sites.

The Peoples Democratic has said it would recall the Chairman, Nigeria Governors' Forum and Governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi, and his Sokoto State counterpart, Aminu Wamakko, from their suspension if they apologise to the party.
The ruling party said the governors were suspended in the interest of the party. It said it would only recall the two governors if they showed remorse for their actions and recognised the supremacy of the party.
While the party suspended Wamakko on Wednesday for alleged "disrespect and act of insubordination" to its National Chairman, Bamanga Tukur, and his office, Amaechi was suspended on May 27, for refusing to reinstate a local government chairman in the state.
Speaking to our correspondent on the telephone on Friday, the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Olisa Metuh, said it was saddening that Amaechi and Wamako took actions that warranted their punishment.
He noted that the suspension of the governors from the party was to enforce party discipline, adding that, "there is no correlation between their suspension; it's purely coincidental."
Metuh said, "Anytime there's remorse from our leaders and governors, we will rejoin with them.
"We'll welcome them with both hands; we'd rejoice with them and their reunion. That's what we want; we just want an acceptance of the supremacy of the party's organs.
"As a party, we seek to add more; we don't seek to reduce. Everything that happened was quite unfortunate. It was bound to happen in the interest of the party. Not that we rejoice in it; we are sad about the development. We are not happy about it."
The PDP spokesman said the party gave Wamakko an opportunity to defend himself but he allegedly ignored the party.
Metuh said, "We invited him and he didn't come. We invited him the second time and he didn't come. We wrote him and he directed the state secretary to reply. What other fair hearing did he want?
"We gave him the opportunity to defend himself. Is it fair to abandon his party? Is it fair to be indisciplined? Is it fair that he abdicated his responsibility to his party?"

Depression among the elderly
The elderly are at high risk for depression because they are more likely than younger people to have experienced illness, death of loved ones, impaired function and loss of independence. The cumulative effect of negative life experiences may be overwhelming to an older person.

Singletrack.com posted an overview of the top 10 bike-packing routes in the US. Being a SE guy, I was amped to see that the TNGA (Trans-North Georgia Adventre) made the list.SingleTrack.com's Top 10 Bike Packing Routes in the USDon Meredithlightpack.blogspot.com
Edited by donmeredith on 01/05/2012 14:38:27 MST.
I wonder why they left out the Great Divide Route? Not enough singletrack?
Jerry - it's listed (Continental Divide Trail)
Interesting. A buddy and I are discussing a semi-guided ride on the Kokopelli trail. Not gonna bikepack though, gonna let an outfitter haul our junk ahead each day.
Ah, so it is. Thanks for pointing that out. Odd that they referred to it as the Continental Divide Trail as that is the backpacking trail while the Great Divide Mountain Bike Trail is the bikepacking trail. Not the same thing.
Thanks for posting this Don. If you are ever looking for someone to do the Trans Ga withlet me know.
Brent, I'll definitely keep you in mind. Chris Wallace and I have been kicking the idea around a little and I'd love to have it on my calendar for this year. There are a lot of nice rivers up in that area. It might be fun to scour the topo maps to find a nice bike and packraft mixed route to really mix it up. Ideas?Don Meredithlightpack.blogspot.com
Well, the White Rim Trail is jeep road the entire way, but it's epic. The photo they have there is a look down from near the top at a climb/descent on the trailhead at east end of the route. Several years ago, I was grinding up that thing at the end of a long day and felt a rider on my tail. I looked over my shoulder, expecting it was one of my riding buddies and it was, instead, a Dude With One Leg who had passed everyone in the group, passed me and spun up out of sight.So, there are obviously mutations caused by the uranium dust in the water.
We were in Canyonlands in November, watching some guys go down the windy part of that on mountain bikes. Looked like a blast. Made my legs hurt just thinking about coming back up it though.

That trail looks fun Joe.Don, I need to familiarize myself more with the trails. I have done a lot of north ga road and mtn bike racing and a fair amount of training, centuries, etc. up there. I have been wanting to do a long offroad tour for many years. I also havent ever done any packrafting but have been paddling canoes/kayaks my whole life. Ill be looking hard at the route.
Joe, the climb out Schaffer on the White Rim is cake compared to the Shandies on the Kokopelli.
The site really is not clear if they are talking about the Great Divide Mt Bike Route which is maily dirt roads or the Continetal Divide Trail which is mainly single track. They overlap at times but are 2 distinct routes. Since you can't take a bike in federal wilderness areas or national parks my daughter and I combined the two for a great tour of new mexico last summer. Here is a link site.google.com/a/greyrock.org/new-mexico-s-continental-divide/
They are missing the Centennial trail in the Black Hills of South Dakota, about 100 miles but some great scenery and parts that are great riding as well. Mix of singletrack and jeep road.
How about this one.... Le P'tit Train du Nord230 km each way
Laurie, I think that sounds like a great ride, but it is a road ride, not an offroad trail. The article that this thread referred to was specifically concerned with mtb trails.There are many great road rides to be found but far fewer long mtb trails. Thus, it is more noteworthy to find a long offroad trail than a long road route.Still, it would be great to list a top 20 road tours in North America, maybe an idea for a new thread?

The name Brock derives from the Gaelic word broc, meaning badger. So it's only fitting that Burnsville High School junior Brock Boeser would choose to play hockey at the University of Wisconsin.
But Boeser's first name and choice to attend Wisconsin isn't exactly coincidental. He's been immersed in Badgers culture since he was a child. His mother's family is from Madison, and his cousin, Dan Boeser, played hockey for the Badgers from 2000-04.
"I was 4, 5, or 6 years old when I watched him play there. As I watched him play I became a Badger fan and have always wanted to play there," Brock Boeser said.
When Boeser attended his cousin's games, he and his family often would visit with the players after, which further instilled in Boeser a desire to be a Badger.
"It was fun to be able to bring him into the locker room and watch his eyes light up as any little kid does in that situation. That probably helped make his decision a little easier," Dan Boeser said.
Brock Boeser gave an oral commitment to the Badgers in the spring of his sophomore year after his first varsity season with the Blaze, during which he had 12 goals and 22 assists in 19 games.
Like any good Badgers fan, Boeser grew up disliking the Gophers. But attending the University of Minnesota was an option for him.
"It was nice to know you could play at your home state, but at the end it was just Wisconsin from the start," Boeser said.
Boeser calls Wisconsin his "dream school" but he still has two years before he skates onto the Kohl Center ice in red and white.
That became much tougher when two of the Blaze's top scorers, Tyler Sheehy and Teemu Kivihalme, elected to forgo their senior seasons to play in the United States Hockey League this season.
Playing forward opposite Boeser on Burnsville's first line last season, Sheehy led the team with 22 goals.
With Sheehy gone, the start of the season was a bit rocky for Burnsville as they adjusted to line changes.
"The first few games we were jumping around and not doing so hot, but now that we got Will (Missling) there, we have been working really good together and have good chemistry," Boeser said.
Boeser said he feels more pressure this season to produce the points his former teammates provided in the past. So far he has been able to step his game up to fill the void, something that was helped by his international playing experience.
Last summer Boeser played for the USA Under-17 Select Team in the Five Nations Tournament in Slovakia, leading Team USA to the gold medal with five goals and four assists. That success has continued into this hockey season.
Through the Blaze's first eight games, Boeser has 16 points, tops in the South Suburban Conference.
"You lose guys every year, but I think Brock brings leadership," Burnsville coach Janne Kivihalme said. "He's a hard-nosed player. I think young guys coming in and watching that type of hockey are going to learn a lot about what it takes to be a varsity player at Burnsville."
Boeser might be another player Kivihalme loses to the USHL. Boeser was drafted second overall by the Sioux City Musketeers this past year. But playing juniors isn't something that Boeser is worried about at the moment.
"I'm definitely putting it up as an option," he said. "Right now, I'm just focused on this season, and after I'll have to decide what I'm doing for next year."

Comments about this product:
I had seen some of the episodes on tv and really enjoyed them, so when I came across this on DVD I was quick to buy it. Unfortunately the DVD that I bought is missing the last 2 episodes! I don't know if there is another version that has all 12 shows, but I was extremely disappointed. The episodes that I had seen on tv, the ones that actually got me interested in the show aren't even on the DVD. Other than that the episodes they actually decided to put on the DVD were entertaining I still can't get over the fact that my DVD is incomplete.

Artecnica & Clara von Zweigbergk's
Themis Mobile Collection
We're mad for mobiles, and the Themis Collection by graphic designer and illustrator Clara von Zweigbergk is particularly marvelous. Inspired by the polyhedron solid, the faceted geometric shapes are actually hollow ornaments lending to the lightness and bounce of the mobile when touched. Each ornament is individually colored in fluorescents and rich colors, some with metallic accents. "I think of them as planets and like to see the colors change while gently turning," says Clara, who studied at Beckmans School of Design in her native Stockholm and at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, Calif. She created Themis in collaboration with Los Angeles-based Artecnica.

Einstein refrigerator
The Einstein–Szilard or Einstein refrigerator is an absorption refrigerator which has no moving parts, operates at constant pressure, and requires only a heat source to operate. It was jointly invented in 1926 by Albert Einstein and his former student Leó Szilárd and patented in the US on November 11, 1930 (U.S. Patent 1,781,541). This is an alternative design from the original invention of 1922 by the Swedish inventors Baltzar von Platen and Carl Munters.
From 1926 until 1933 Einstein and Szilárd collaborated on ways to improve home refrigeration technology. The two were motivated by contemporary newspaper reports of a Berlin family who had been killed when a seal in their refrigerator broke and leaked toxic fumes into their home. Einstein and Szilárd proposed that a device without moving parts would eliminate the potential for seal failure, and explored practical applications for different refrigeration cycles. Einstein used the experience he had gained during his years at the Swiss Patent Office to apply for valid patents for their inventions in several countries, the two eventually being granted 45 patents in their names for three different models.
It has been suggested that most of the actual inventing was performed by Szilárd, with Einstein merely acting as a consultant and helping with the patent-related paperwork.[1]
The refrigerator was not immediately put into commercial production, the most promising of their patents being quickly bought up by the Swedish company Electrolux. A few demonstration units were constructed from other patents.
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (November 2013)
The machine is a single-pressure absorption refrigerator, similar in design to a gas absorption refrigerator. The refrigeration cycle uses ammonia pressure-equalizing fluid, butane refrigerant, and water absorbing fluid, has no moving parts, and does not require electricity to operate, needing only a heat source, e.g. a small gas burner or electric heating element or even solar energy. In an Einstein refrigerator with the standard working fluids, a water-flow loop serves as an ammonia pump, and the ammonia-flow loop serves as a butane pump. Ammonia and water are suitable choices because ammonia is highly soluble in water and its solubility declines steeply with increasing temperature. Butane is a suitable choice for the refrigerant because it has a suitably low boiling point and is virtually insoluble in water.
On the cold side of a conventional refrigerator, a refrigerant evaporates at a temperature-dependent pressure, Prfr(Tlow). Evaporation absorbs heat from whatever is being cooled, and the vapor flows to a compressor. In an equivalent Einstein refrigerator, the refrigerant liquid evaporates at what is now a partial pressure Prfr(Tlow), mixing with a flow of ammonia vapor to form a gas with a total pressure near the system pressure: Prfr + Pamm = Psys. The mixture flows, not to a pump, but to an ammonia absorber.
On the hot side of a conventional refrigerator, a compressor raises the pressure of the refrigerant vapor, enabling it to condense at a relatively high temperature to deliver heat to an external heat exchanger. On the hot side of an Einstein refrigerator, an ammonia absorber raises the partial pressure of the refrigerant vapor to accomplish the same result.
The absorber works by removing ammonia vapor by dissolving it in water. As this happens, the gas mixture flows to maintain the nearly constant pressure Psys, and as a consequence, the partial pressure of the refrigerant, Prfr, can approach Psys. At this higher partial pressure, it can condense and deliver heat to an external heat convector, as in a conventional refrigerator.
The condensed refrigerant liquid cannot dissolve in water and, in the case of butane, it will float, making it easy to separate and return to the evaporator. Meanwhile, the ammonia/water solution flows to an ammonia generator, where the heat source that powers the refrigerator raises the temperature of the solution, driving out the ammonia and providing the ammonia vapor that is the other input to the evaporator.
This is the operating principle of the system. Practical implementations include other elements, such as means for contacting liquids and vapors, and so forth. The Einstein refrigerator has been described as "noiseless, inexpensive to produce, and durable".
Present day[edit]
Gas refrigerators have largely been phased out, because of the danger of carbon monoxide poisoning. In 1998, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) warned about 22 carbon monoxide-related deaths in the US and 60 in Canada, even though a product recall had been started as early as 1990.[2] Most gas refrigerators made before 1957 are not vented.
In September 2008 it was reported that Malcolm McCulloch of Oxford University was heading a three-year project to develop more robust appliances that could be used in locales lacking electricity, and that his team had completed a prototype. He was quoted as saying that improving the design and changing the types of gases used might allow the design's efficiency to be quadrupled.[3]

|My friend Pau and I climbed north summit of huascaran 6655 m in 2004.
We liked to climb south summit, but the normal route of it, its impossible to climb since 2002 I think. The objective of the majority of expedicions is nowadays the summit north. The south summit can be climbed for Escudo route (D+), but is rarely in conditions and it's quite dangerous and heavy.
The summer 2004 few expeditions climbed north summit, and only two or three the south summit Escudo.
Both very happy with the summit because we climbed alone (with 24 and 22 years old) without guides and porters.
A great experience, I explain this history in future to my sons!!

|This year was a very bad season, with bad weather, a lot of snow and lots of avalanches. No one reached the south summit via the normal route (at least until the 25 of July). Only two French got to the summit via the Shield Route (El Escudo) and was early in the season.
We got to Camp 1 and that night we heard lots of avalanches. The next day early in the morning we started climbing to Camp 2 but the snow conditions were not good and shortly after we decided to turn back and go down.
It was a great experience and I hope I can go back soon. Huascaran is an impressive, beautiful and huge mountain but should be well respected.

|Thomas Samway and I reached the summit this day by the normal route, while Laurie Skreslet and Larry Derby also reached the summit by the western spur. A more complete account is given in the trip report "The Priest Climbs Huascaran".

|Route Climbed: Normal from Musho in the Callejon de Huaylas Date Climbed: Early July 1971
|Three young and eager members of Outbound along with a Catholic priest called Father Tom and and yours untruly established a camp at the base of the Huascaran Glacier just below 16,000 feet. I remained there the next day while the others carried loads and established an intermediate camp amid the crevasses above 17,000 feet. Two returned to base camp while two slept at the intermediate camp. I followed them up the next morning and spent a fitful night with two others crowded in a two-man tent. The next day we carried loads higher up and stashed them just above the Garganta and below the 20,000-foot saddle between Huascaran Norte and Huascaran Sur. We then descended back to the intermediate camp for another crowded night of three burly men in the two-man tent. The next day we ascended again with our tent on our backs toward the Garganta. On the steepest part, a strap on my rucksack broke. This demoralized me so much that all I could think about was having a big beefsteak and beer in Huaraz.
I decided to forsake Huascaran then and there, being in no mood to share a two-man tent with two others for another uncomfortable and sleepless night. Cautiously I descended the glacier alone, pausing frequently to take pictures of the Callejon de Huaylas from high up on what is probably the most greatest extent of glacial ice within the tropics. Very visible was the track of the tremendous avalanche (aluvion) dislodged by the May 31, 1970 earthquake from Huascaran Norte that had swept down a ravine for 13,000 feet and scoured away the second largest town in the valley, Yungay, killing most of its 20,000 inhabitants before it came to a scouring halt at the base of the Cordillera Negra and continued as a mud flow down the Rio Santa past Caras and through the Canon del Pato toward the sea.
As I was dining on steak and beer in Huaraz three days later, my four sunburned and beaming companions appeared and announced their triumph. I had mixed feelings of regret and envy. I consoled myself by acknowledging the fact that I had contributed to the beginnings of a successful climb of the highest peak in the tropics.
For an full account of the climb, I refer you to Jonathan Stanley's log entry just above mine. A group picture of the five initial members of the party and Huascaran from Musho before the climb and another view of climbers on the lower glacier of Huascaran from base camp are included in the photo section of Huascaran Sur main page.

|Route Climbed: The Shield Route Date Climbed: Aug. 1999
|We left from Camp 1 to follow the Shield Route. At about 6.500 m we joined the trail used on the normal route and only one of us three continued to the summit. We were too tired to reach the summit. Sat down and waited 3 hours for our friend to came back. With our arses freezing cold, and happy for completing the route got back to Camp 1 just before dark.

We purchased our current home when we had only 3 children (six years ago)…now we have 9! So we had to start thinking "outside the box", or in our case, inside our box! This has resulted in the Lord showing us over time many different do-it-yourself and inexpensive ways to adapt our house to fit the needs of a large family, projects we've already done and ones we hope to do in the future (which we will be sharing with you!).

Hello! *hugs* Welcome to Large Families on Purpose.
Scripture teaches us that Children are not an accident, God created them on purpose; and God has chosen to make us a large family of 11, and we pursue life on purpose. *smile*
My heart's desire is to bring you encouragement, bring you vision for how life can be with a large family, bring hope that life with a large family can be pleasant and not chaotic, and to strengthen any discouraged or feeling weak sisters in Christ.

moreAre cities and citizens helpless victims in a global flow of events? The short answer is 'no'. Written by leading urban scholars from Europe and North America, this book aims not only to enhance understanding of the globalization process, but also to argue that the political space for local leadership and action is greater than many commentators have assumed.
Three related questions are addressed through the three-part structure: What is the nature of the globalization process? What resulting challenges now confront cities and localities? How can local leaders respond to this changing environment in ways which strengthen local democracy?
The analysis draws on a range of disciplines including political science, economics, sociology, geography, urban planning and public management. By highlighting the interplay between international forces driving homogenization and local initiatives projecting the value of geographical place and local identity, this international volume aims to stimulate fresh thinking about city leadership, urban planning and community development. less
