Figure 1.
Detection of early-onset nocifensive behaviors prior to withdrawal of stimulated limb. A 100 msec thermal pulse at high power (6.08 W/mm2) was used to stimulate the right index toe. Withdrawal responses were recorded at a rate of 500 frames per second. The position of the rat's head before and after stimulation are highlighted in A and B, respectively. The upper and lower arrowheads in each frame bring attention to the eyes and nose, respectively. Abrupt head displacement in (A) versus (B) occurs by 110 msec (140-30 msec, see Methods). Also note in B the orbital "tightening", which was observed only with some rats following laser stimulation. (C) By 210 msec, the head was oriented towards the stimulated foot and toes on the stimulated foot have moved. (D) Withdrawal of the stimulated paw was underway by 310 msec. (E) and (F) are magnifications of (A) and (B), respectively, showing that by 110 msec, toe movement on the non-stimulated hind paw has preceded any movement detected in the stimulated limb. Full videos can be viewed in the Additional file 1 Movie S1 data and show that latency to the first detectable movement was approximately 74 msec.

How To
Play - Apples To Apples Card Game - Game Rules
Party Game - Educational Games For Kids
by Out of the Box
Ages 12 +
4 to 10 Players
Playing Time: 20-30 minutes
Easy To Learn
Starting the Game
1. Remove the card tray from
the box.
2. Choose a player to be the
first judge.
3. The judge deals seven red
apple cards, face down, to each player (including him or herself).
Players may look at their cards.
Playing The Game
1. The judge picks a green
apple card from the top of the stack, reads the word aloud, and places
it face up on the table.
2. Players (except the
judge) choose the red apple card from their hand that is best described
by the word on the green apple card played by the judge. Players
quickly place these red apple cards face down on the table, according to
the following rules --
Six or more players:
The last red apple card placed on the
table will not be judged and is returned to that player's hand.
If you snooze, you lose!
Four or Five Players:
Only the first four red apple cards placed
on the table will be judged.
Players may play one or two red apple
cards from their hand. (Players attempting to play two cards must
place them on the table, one card at a time.)
Nothing ventured, nothing gained!
3. The judge mixes the red
apple cards so no one knows who played which card. The judge turns
over each red apple card, reads it aloud, and than selects the one he or
she thinks is the best described by the word on the green apple card.
The player of the selected red apple card is awarded the green apple
card played by the judge.
4. To keep score, players
keep the green apple cards they have won until the end of the game.
5. The judge collects all of
the red apple cards played during that round and discards them into the
box bottom.
6. The card tray, and the
role of judge, passes to the player on the left. The new judge
deals enough red apple cards to bring each player's hand back up to
7. Play continues following
steps 1 - 6 until someone has earned enough green apple cards to win the

Want to Play Again?
Simply return the played green apple cards to the bottom of the card
stack. Pass the card tray to the next judge and you're ready to
play again!
you reach the end of the red apple card stacks, just shuffle the
discards and refill the card tray. The card combinations in Apples
to Apples are virtually limitless.
Playing Tips
It's OK to
play a red apple card that isn't a perfect fit. Judges will often
pick the most creative, humorous or interesting response.
Lobbying and
"table talk" are encouraged! Players can comment on cards and try
to convince the judge to pick a particular card - either their own or a
favorite choice.
Playing red
apple cards that appeal to the judge can improve your chances of
winning. This is often called "playing to the judge."
Red apple
cards that begin with "My" should be read from the judge's point of
view. For example, when the judge reads "My Love Life," it should
be assumed that it is the judge's love life that is being described by
the word on the green apple card.
Apples To
Apples Variations
"Apple Turnovers"
For a change of taste, start by dealing five green apple cards to
each player. The judge turns over a red apple card from the top of
the stack. Players choose the green apple card from their hand
that they think best describes the word on the red apple card. The
judge then selects the green apple card he or she thinks is best, and
awards the red apple card to the person who played the selected green
apple card.
"Baked Apples"
For a more leisurely and thoughtful game, allow everyone, except the
judge, to play a red apple card in each round. You may wish to set
a time limit for each round to prevent a player from taking too much
For a tart twits, choose the judge red apple cards that are least
like, or the opposite of, the word on the green apple card. For
example, you might choose "Charging Rhinos" when the word "Dainty" is

National Tourism Day
National Tourism Day, celebrated on May 7 each year during National Travel and Tourism Week, and is the day when destinations and those in the tourism industry promote their attractions and offerings over other destinations. It's also a time when these entities issue reports on the economic impact that tourism has on their area – all the dollars businesses in the area gain from travelers they wouldn't have otherwise. A healthy travel and tourism industry also helps make the job market healthier as well.
The holiday is often celebrated with attactions and destinations offering special promotions and discounts designed to bring even more tourists into the area. If it's not yet the high point of tourism season in the area, the celebration brings out the locals to learn first-hand a little more about their region so they can make better ambassadors.
Tourism doesn't benefit only the destinations, but the travelers as well. Travelers benefit by seeing new surroundings, new people, getting out of their everyday rut and gaining a new perspective on their normal thought patterns. They also have new experiences, including eating regional delicacies. Here is a recipe from the Travel Channel from Charleston, S.C.
Charleston's Oyster and Shrimp Pan Roast
1/2 gallon fresh shucked Carolina oysters
1 lb. (U-16 – up to 16/pound) head-on, wild-caught shrimp
2 tbs. butter
2 tbs. minced bacon
1/2 tsp. Old Bay seasoning
1 generous cup thinly sliced celery
1 thinly sliced yellow onion
2 sprigs fresh thyme
2 tsp. paprika
3 tbs. Worcestershire sauce
2 cups fish stock (or clam juice)
1/2 gallon heavy cream
Drain the oysters and reserve the liquid. Peel the shrimp leaving the heads and tails on and devein by making a shallow butterfly incision.
Place a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the bacon, swirl until it renders its fat but doesn't brown, and add all the dry ingredients and vegetables.
When onions are cooked through, add the oyster liquid and stock. Bring to a slow boil and cook for 10 minutes. Add the cream. Cook, simmering for 4-5 minutes, until cream thickens.
Add the oysters and return to a slow boil. While this is going on, heat the butter over high heat in a 12-inch skillet. When butter is foaming, add the shrimp, searing to a light brown on one side only. Immediately slide the rare, one-side-browned shrimp into the soup pot. Stir, they will finish cooking in the hot soup.
Season with the Worcestershire to taste and serve immediately with buttered toast. Garnish bowls with paprika and some finely minced chives.

Detroit mayoral write-in candidate Mike Duggan is facing another hurdle in his campaign.
Fellow candidate Tom Barrow isn't finished with his legal challenges against Duggan.
Barrow contends that a court ruling removing Duggan's name from the August primary ballot also forbids him from running as a write-in candidate.
READ: Duggan running for Detroit mayor on write-in campaign
"He is ineligible to participate in this election, in this primary at all," Barrow said.
Barrow is telling Detroit City Clerk Janice Winfrey that he'll ask the court to find her in contempt if she allows Duggan to run as a write-in candidate.
Former Detroit City Council member Sheila Cockrel says Barrow's legal tactics are troubling.
"It would really be good for the process if he focused on his message and not be so engaged in attempting to limit people's democratic options to select someone for mayor," she said. "It's really quite troubling."
The Duggan campaign said they don't think Barrow's latest challenge will get anywhere.
Write-in campaigns are rarely successful. But if Duggan could manage to finish second, he would be on the ballot in November.
Duggan has until July 26 to file as a write-in candidate.
What happened
Two courts have said Duggan doesn't qualify for the ballot because he submitted petitions less than a year after becoming a registered voter in the city, a violation of the Detroit City Charter. He moved to Detroit from Livonia, a suburb, in 2012.
A three-member panel of the state Court of Appeals upheld a lower court ruling that removed him from the ballot.
Duggan submitted petitions on April 2, 10 days short of the anniversary of his voter registration.
Duggan actually had even more time to submit petitions because the deadline to sign up for mayoral primary was May 14.

I have read a lot of Celtic folklore that talks about the
Rowan tree as a magical tree - especially in warding off the
Fair Folk.
I have also heard this tree is also known as either the
Mountain Ash or the Mountain Laurel, and I am hoping to
get clarification as to specifically what the Celts consider
a Rowan tree.
The common name would be appreciated, and if I could get
the Latin horticultural name, that would be ideal.
Thanks -

Remember Me
Is this election different than past elections, why or why not?
What is the relationship between music and politics and how - if at all, has this relationship affected your music?
I am constantly motivated by current events and my (mostly instrumental) music reflects this. Although it is not
something tangible, emotions, thoughts, feelings, etc are constantly seeping into the music we play, and in turn,
transmitted to the people who listen. I am very disappointed in most singer-songwriters these days, I rarely hear
any kind of protest songs, whether serious, or irreverent. Thank god for The Daily Show and many
comedians who are taking up the slack, otherwise I would have killed myself 8 years ago!!! We need some new DEAD
KENNEDYS style bands with some 'REAGAN HATES ME' anthems. I see Ani DiFranco, part time Rage Against the
Machine, and
Spearhead, etc doing their part, but what about bigger artists? Where are the Pete Seegers, Bob Dylans, Joe Hills of
If you could speak directly to all American voters, what would you say?
Please read the CONSTITUTION, and A PEOPLE'S HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES by Howard Zinn and tell
me if we are not becoming a fascist, greed worshiping, xenophobic, theocracy?!?!? We are in big trouble if MCCAIN/
PALIN gets in office, the era of apathy needs to end this November, please motivate ALL your friends to vote, it's the
ONLY way to initiate even a small amount of change, and it is crucial that it happen NOW!!! Anyone with a passport
will tell you that the whole world is watching us now, if we fuck this up, we will lose a lot, and I want my daughter to
be able to travel and see the world when she grows up, PLEASE!!!!
Skerik's next gig is on 10/18 in Portland with McTuff, complete tour dates available here.

I hike mainly Spring, Summer & Fall in Michigan and will pick up in N. Carolina on the AT May 02, 2007 for 10-12 days.My clothing list is as follows:Marmot Precip Jacket (Rain)13.0 oz.Marmot Precip Pants (Rain) 9.0 oz.REI Hoodie Fleece 18 oz.Patagonia Capilene Base Midweight 8.0 ozPatagonia Capilene Crew Midweight 8.0 ozREI Sahara Convertible Pants 14.0 oz.Pantagonia underwear 2 @ 2.5 oz.=5.0 oz.REI Merino Wool Hiking Socks email@example.com=6 oz.North Face TNF cap 1.5 oz.REI wicking T-shirt 2 @ 8.0=16 oz.Mountain Hardware Gloves 1.5 oz.Bandana / Muff 3.0 oz.Croc's 12.0 oz.Total = 115 oz. or 7.19 lbs.Suggestions, criticisms, advice is needed. This is my total list.Thanks.
You seem to have everything covered. I always prefer a long sleeve shirt to wear if the sun or bugs are heavy...so you might consider swapping 1 t for a long sleeve t. If you want to drop weight, the obvious choice is upgrading from the fleece. Montbell thermawrap drops you 10 ounces on insulation and packs much smaller. Precip Jacket seems heavy as well. The Drop Stoppers suit will breath better than the Precip and the total weight for both pieces is 10 ounces. They cost under $20 I think. That would save another 12 ounces. So for roughly $140 you could drop nearly 2 pounds of clothing!
Dump the fleece, add an insulated vest like the Patagonia Micro Puff and a windshirt. Silkweight base layers will save you a few ounces. Another combo I like is a Powerstrech or other micro fleece shirt and a windshirt. I don't blame you for liking the hoodie, it just stands out as the boat anchor. My list looks pretty similar to yours otherwise.

You could drop the crocs if your hiking shoes/ boots are comfy enough for wearing in camp. You leave behind one of your wicking tees too and just wash the one you carry every 4 days or so w/ Dr. Bronners (just a few drops) and wear you capilene while it dries outside your pack. The hoodie is definatley out if you can afford a primaloft jacket (I can't). Depending on personal preference, I would drop the convertible pants for gym short (save 10 oz or so) and wear rain pants and capilene at camp. I find its good to hike in shorts with socks pulled up to about 40-45*. Second the motion for Drop stoppers. Have fun
Are you willing to sleep in what you hike in? If so, then you can drop the 2 T-shirts and just treat your Patagonia Capilene Crew as a shirt. I do something similar with my Shadow's hoody. I like lighter socks unless it's below 40°F, they dry faster. What do you use for a sun hat?
Edited by ericnoble on 11/03/2006 14:13:13 MST.
Thanks everyone!This is just what I needed to hear. I've been following all the forums and researching everything. It can get overwhelming at times because of the intense knowledge and experience. I finally put my gear list up for your help. I'm at the stage of trying to put it all together. I plan to revamp my entire clothing gear....so all your input is appreciated. I'm probably going to use my existing gear for something else.John
Eric:I will sleep in what I wear. Also, as far as the sun....I wear the bandana/muff for sun and sunglasses. Also a North Face cap which I forget to add at about 3-4 oz.
Sorry John, one more question. Do you sleep in a quilt or a sleeping bag? Down or synthetic?
Edited by ericnoble on 11/03/2006 14:46:59 MST.
Eric:I have a Marmot Pinnacle 15 degree Long DOWN bag, 2lbs. 12oz. approx. by memory. My original thought now is to go with a Western Mountaineering Megalite 32 degree at about 18 oz. But, this is one of those critical decisions I might be wrong on.
Sorry, yet another question. What is your shelter?
You don't need two capilene shirts.You don't need two t-shirts.I'd take one long-sleeved capilene shirt and one t-shirt.The rain pants aren't going to help you that much. In fact, the convertible pants are kind of a liability too. For the same weight as the convertible pants you could probably carry wind pants, very light polypro bottoms, and a pair of shorts. That combination would be way, way more flexible and warmer besides.I agree with other comments about replacing the hoodie fleece with an insulated jacket or vest. Fleece is generally hard to justify from a utility-per-ounce standpoint for the kind of conditions you will be hiking in.For me, I usually freeball it and skip underware completely. I very much like stretchy exercise shorts (commonly sold as "compression shorts" for men at sporting goods stores). GoLite Stride shorts are a good example of the same principle. The stretchy shorts elminate (for me) the chafing problems that many of you will be compelled to mention.
I just bought the new TarpTent contrail. As a matter of fact. I am camping tomorrow night (sat.) to check it out. Michigan, should be rain/snow for sure and will be hovering around 32 degrees. Thanks.
I asked about your sleep system because it effects your clothing. I sleep in a down quilt or bag depending on the temperature. I favor synthetic insulation when the sleep system is down. A quilt requires a heavier duty hat and draft management. That 15 degree bag means you won't need to wear additional clothing to bed. In fact, that is an understatement. Your bag is probably too warm. The Megalite would be great. I asked about your shelter because it also effects your clothing choices and may in fact be one of your clothing choices. I am tempted to post my clothing list but I do not want to shift any focus from yours, not that mine is that compelling. Mine came in at about 4.4 lbs. Davids advice would shed some weight from mine though I don't know if I can bring myself to "freeball" it. Oddly enough, I don't have a problem wearing just bike shorts when I mountain bike.
Edited by ericnoble on 11/03/2006 16:44:30 MST.
Let us know how the Contrail worked out. I've decided to shift away from the bivy/poncho-tarp combo (always got condensation with bivy, and it's nice to have rain gear after setting up your shelter) and I think the Contrail will be the replacement.I hope you get some really nasty weather to test the Contrail in :)Enjoy your trip.
I appreciate everyone's comments and would appreciate listsand suggestions from everyone. In fact, that is what I need. Before Backpacking Light... I thought I was doing great hauling around 40 lbs. North Carolina is going to be fantastic. That is the AT. I'll tell you how the November 04, 2006 hike is in a Contrail soon. Michigan weather is one of the best, don't you know.John
Eric, please post your list.John
Here is my list for whatever it is worth. Hopefully you can glean something from it. My clothing list has always been buried in my overall list. It is helpful seeing it broken out. Thanks, John. I sleep in a Jacks R Better No Sniveller Long quilt and my shelter is usually a hammock. I am 6'4 and 210 lbs. All values are in ounces unless specified otherwise. Smartwool Shadow's Hoody 12.7TNF Paramount Convertible Pants 21.57Ibex Breezer Briefs 2 @ 3.4 6.8Smartwool Cycling Socks 2 @ 1.4 2.8Columbia Sun Hat 2.8Cotton Bandana 1.4Noseeum Mesh Headnet 0.5Seirus Quick Draw Fleece Hat 2.5Montbell Thermawrap Vest 6.2Patagonia Houdini Wind Shirt 3.9Smartwool Lightweight Bottoms 7.8Smartwool Liner Gloves 1.6Rain Poncho 2.1 Total 4.5 lbsMy rain poncho is one of those disposable ones. I would not recommend this without some serious caveats.My convertible pants are not light. When it rains I zip off the legs and just let my legs get wet. The rain poncho covers the remaining shorts. From late spring to early fall this has not been a problem. Davids comments on convertible pants have got me thinking. Thanks, David.One huge caveat. I use this in the Colorado Rockies. I have not hiked in Michigan or on the AT. And obviously the shoulder seasons may require some modifications.

I don't know if I am strange or not, but I have a hard time on a multi-day trip with just two pairs of socks.If conditions are relatively benign, you can reserve one pair as "sleeping socks" and one pair as hiking socks. I also find socks get extremely dirty over the course of a trip (this is especially true with shoes with a lot of mesh and in warmer, dustier conditions), it is nice to be able to wash socks and dry them out while hiking. If you are putting in long days, it is a great idea to be able to change into less-dirty socks mid-day and wash out the socks you've been hiking in.I also find a variety of socks helps match conditions and conditioning better. My feet can swell up quite a bit in hot hiking, and having thinner socks to wear then can make quite a bit of difference.Unless it is just a quick one or two-night trip, I like to take at least three pairs of socks, sometimes I take four pairs for longer trip when it is likely to be very wet and sloppy.For liner gloves, cheap thermax gloves from wal-mart or a hardware store (since I am a long, long ways from a wal-mart, thank goodness) work just as well as spendy smartwool liners, plus the smartwool liners tend to pill over time, producing merino-flavored trail mix and clif bars. If you want something fancier than the plebian wal-mart fare, sporthill makes a nice lightweight glove for about twenty bucks. I don't have any business connection to Sporthill, but I like their stuff.http://www.sporthill.com/product.php?TypeID=3430&gender=u
I wash my socks and underwear in Dr. Bronners unscented soap every one or two days depending on the conditions. I've considered carrying a third pair of sleeping socks but not enough to do it yet. If I did I would probably not bring the glove liners and just use the socks as gloves. The glove liners are new on my list. I picked wool because of its heat resistance and they were on sale. I removed all the handles from my cooking pots to save weight and thought I would use the glove liners as oven mitts, besides their obvious use. Handles are single use, glove liners are multi use and warm. I haven't tried this yet so this may be a bad idea. I sure hope pilling doesn't become a problem. I am otherwise with you on the thermax liners. I've used them skiing for years.

UIU and Fareway agree to CAP partnership
Upper Iowa University announces June and August graduatesview all news ›
Upper Iowa University students experience life in the Dominican Republic while serving
Representing Upper Iowa University during the recent Alternative Spring Break trip to the Dominican Republic were (front, left) advisor Hope Trainor, director of Academic Success and interim director of Career Services, Erica Minich, Chyan Johanningmeier, Hanna Myers and advisor Daryl Grove, assistant dean of students; (back, left) Shane Kafka, Laura Gosse, Alicia Neff, Shay Enriquez and Roberto Mardones Cruz.
FAYETTE, Iowa (April 4, 2014) – Eight Upper Iowa University students traveled to the Dominican Republic in March during UIU's Alternative Spring Break international service trip. During the week-long service trip, the students visited two villages, Blackwater and Los Cocos. They also volunteered at Dove Missions Youth Center where they helped with construction of a new center, played with the children and made their current playground better with new swings and a cleaner environment.
Upper Iowa senior Alicia Neff from Hanover Park, Ill., is no stranger to performing service abroad. This year's Alternative Spring Break marks her third international trip with UIU. She served in Belize as a sophomore and Costa Rica as a junior. For the sociology and psychology double-major, this type of work is in line with what she hopes to do after graduation. "I love the experience of helping all the people we can in that one week," said Neff. "Working with the children is my favorite. They were so loving and accepting of us right away, hugging us and braiding our hair. They loved being with us despite our language barrier. The most rewarding part of the trip was working with the children."
The Upper Iowa group did not travel to the Dominican Republic empty-handed. Prior to leaving Fayette, they collected numerous items including toothbrushes, toothpaste, conditioner, shampoo, balls, crayons, paper, scissor, pens, pencils, coloring books, math and reading work books and fruit snacks, which they gave to the youth center to distribute as needed.
Staying and serving mostly in Puerto Plata, the group spent a lot of time at the youth center working with children who come to the center during the daytime when they are not in school. They played basketball with the children, worked on craft projects including making 'peacock hands,' tie-dying bandanas, and making duct tape wallets and flowers. When the children left for the day, the Upper Iowa students worked on the new youth center. They shoveled, leveled the cement, worked on constructing walls for the restroom and carted loads of cement, dirt and water out of the building.
Prior to going on the trip, the students learned about the culture and the people of the Dominican Republic in the classroom. They watched "The Price of Sugar," a 2007 documentary that chronicles the real life struggle behind the harvesting of sugarcane.
"After experiencing life in a developing nation like the Dominican Republic, I felt that the students had a deeper sense of what privilege means," said Hope Trainor, director of Academic Success and interim director of Career Development. "They realized what a privilege it is to be able to go to college and to be able to get clean water out of the faucet anytime. This trip seemed to impact their sense of where they fit into the world."
UIU students also serving in the Dominican Republic during Alternative Spring Break included Laura Gosse from Pleasant Prairie, Wis.; Chyan Johanningmeier from Waukon, Iowa; Erica Minich from Kenosha, Wis.; Hannah Myers from Lisbon, Iowa; Roberto Mardones Cruz from Spain; Shane Kafka from Stewartville, Minn.; and Shay Enriquez from St. Charles, Ill.

|Peripheral Nerve Blockade and Neonatal Limb Ischemia: Our Experience and Literature Review.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22952214 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Considering the high frequency of bleeding complications following fibrinolytic treatment in neonates, peripheral nerve blockade (PNB) has been proposed alone or in association with lower doses of tissue plasminogen activator, as a possible new therapeutic approach in the management of neonatal limb ischemia (LI) secondary to vasospasm and/or thrombosis. The present article provides a review of the current knowledge about the topic, in order to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this therapeutic approach. According to the few case reports documented in literature and to our experience, PNB could be considered as valid procedure for the treatment of LI, especially during neonatal period, when the risk of serious bleeding associated with fibrinolytic or anticoagulant therapy is higher. Peripheral nerve blockade resulted in a safe and effective procedure for the treatment of neonatal vascular spasm and thrombosis.

A Titanic Tale
A purser raised his finger and indicated she was next in line. She bid goodbye to the Astors and looked around for Maggie as she walked out onto the deck. Her savior, Mr. Davenport, never showed up again. Taking care of little wifey, no doubt. A lot of good he is. I didn't even get a damn drink out of him.
She waited patiently as the purser helped people into the lifeboat. A woman yelled in a language she didn't recognize and disturbed the beautiful chamber music that worked to soothe her nerves. How did a third class passenger get up here? She glanced at the shriveled, old lady holding two small bundles.
"What's she saying?" the purser asked one of the sailors standing nearby.
"Bloody hell if I know," he replied. "They all speak in tongues if you be askin' me."
Mrs. Bainesworth pulled the collar of her coat up around her neck. "Could one of you please tell her to shut up? It's hard enough to be out on this deck, in the middle of the night, without riff raff babbling on and on."
"I think she wants on the boat with the babes," the purser said.
"Not on your life," the sailor answered. "We've got our orders and I'm not losing this job."
"I've got news, old man. You're going to be losing more than a job tonight."
"Both of you stop," she said. "The woman is insane. Get rid of her."
"She's too old to be their mother. She must be their nanny," the purser said.
Mrs. Bainesworth glanced over. "Are you daft? Look at the rags those babies are wearing. They're obviously the offspring of third class passengers. I think they should be taken back below and drowned."
The two men looked at each other until one spoke.
"You know what? You're right. This woman doesn't belong on a lifeboat."
"Thank, God, you've come to your senses. Now send them below."
Her maid, Maggie, came running up. "I looked all over for you, ma'am. I'm glad to see you made it up to a boat."
"Come, Maggie. I'll need you with me." She took Maggie's hand and headed toward the sailor helping people in. Before she had a chance to put her leg over, the sailor took one of the babies from the old woman and handed it to her. He took the other and handed it to Maggie.
"What…what in the hell are you doing?" Mrs. Bainesworth cried.
He stepped back.
The old woman grabbed Mrs. Bainesworth's wrist and squeezed, her dirty fingernails drawing blood. In her foreign language, the woman seemed to be cursing her. After a few more words, the woman stepped closer to Mrs. Bainesworth. She leaned forward, pushing her leathery, wrinkled face even nearer. The stink of fried onions was on her breath. Her eyes were black circles floating in a sea of red lines against a sick, yellow background. The woman smiled. Slowly, she bared her rotting teeth, loosened her grip on Mrs. Bainesworth's wrist and spat next to the shocked woman's shoes. The purser yanked the woman by the arm, pulling her into the crowd and back to certain death.
Being helped into the lifeboat, Mrs. Bainesworth yelled at the man assisting her when he grabbed her fur coat. "Careful, you oaf. This coat cost more than you'll make in a lifetime." She and Maggie found a spot and sat.
"Don't worry," the purser said, "the mother will claim the babies later. Once we come back to the ship, we'll reunite them with her."
"I don't know the first thing about babies," Mrs. Bainesworth said.
"Think of them as little heaters, ma'am, they'll help keep you both warm."
She glanced at Maggie, then at the babies. "I'll do what I can, but the owner of this ship will be hearing from me. This is absolutely ridiculous." With the ruckus around growing ever louder, she was sure no one heard her. She spoke only to herself and to the baby she now held tightly against her chest. "I'll have to get to sleep once we're back on the ship, Maggie. You know what I'm like in the morning without a proper night's rest."
Another first class woman sat next to them. "Oh, my poor dears. Look at you. Two babes in arms." She yelled to the other people. "Please, extra blankets for these women and their tiny waifs." A large blanket was passed and wrapped around them and the babies. Enjoying the sympathy, and the extra care, Mrs. Bainesworth played the martyr and imagined the extra attention might not be a bad thing after all.
The Titanic sank one hundred years ago, but the curse it carried lives on.
Beautiful Cornelia Bainesworth cared only about herself and her own life the night the Titanic went down. A curse brought on by a woman who witnessed her selfish behavior that evening destroys her, but it doesn't stop there.
One hundred years later, the curse rears its ugly head in the life of small-town teenager Callie. As if the tragedy of her boyfriend's death wasn't enough, strange occurrences bring her to the brink of insanity. Callie's search for answers is unsuccessful until a nerdy schoolmate takes up her cause and together they experience frightening apparitions, unexplained phenomena and chilling truths. These truths turn Callie's life upside down and reveal a shocking ending to a story that began on the deck of a ship doomed the moment it saw light.

He admits it: he really did not expect the name Francis. Cardinal Giovanni Lajolo, President Emeritus of the Pontifical Commission for the Vatican City State and of the Governorate, is "still amazed" and is "more and more excited" about Jorge Mario Bergoglio's choice: "Inside the Sistine Chapel I rejoiced right away for many reasons, but especially for the name: Francis evokes Evangelical tones and resonances; it invokes a beautiful Church, engaged in the essential and concrete daily life of man on Earth projected to eternity".
Eminence, was it a suffered Conclave?
"Contrary to what many of you journalists think and speculated upon, no: it was a serene Conclave, always, in every moment. The categories and opposing parties that you all 'assign' to the Government of the Church do not really belong to us".
""If the Church stays wrapped up in itself, it will age. And if I had to choose between a wounded Church that goes out onto the streets and a sick withdrawn Church, I would definitely choose the first one": these were words spoken before the Conclave by Bergoglio: will they be a cornerstone of his papacy?
"I hope so. The Church must not preach itself, but Jesus Christ, the Gospel. The Church is also, I wish to emphasize this, an institution which is necessary and good, but first and foremost it is the mystical body of Christ. It is a beautiful and good reality, made of sinners who are called to holiness: and in every age there are great Saints and martyrs. This is the Church. Then there are those who must govern it, the institutional part, but that is just a part of it".
How do you interpret Pope Francis's choice to appear on the balcony accompanied by the vicar of Rome, Cardinal Agostino Vallini, and his highlighting the link between the Bishop of Rome and his diocese? "It makes me think of a pontificate that will be strongly geared towards a relationship with the local Church, towards a link between the Shepherd and his people. And in this, I think, there will be in continuity with his predecessors, particularly with the last two who, before becoming St. Peter's successors, had guided important Dioceses".
How would you describe the new Francis? Which characteristics would you highlight?
"His education took place outside Europe, and this is one of the novelties of the figure of Francis, though he also studied in Germany, and then has Italian origins and is very fond of Rome: what I mean to say is that he knows the situation, the culture, the virtues and weaknesses of many parts of the world very well. But above all, Francis is a simple person, careful here, not simplistic, but simple in the sense of his truth of being; he is without pretence, without posturing, very serene, clear. Bergoglio is the purity of being. And in addition, I repeat, he is not naive: he knows the problems of the world".
The name and the humble style of the new Pope have surprised and amazed: is this the first fruit of a renewal started by the Church?
"I wouldn't talk about an act of renewal of the Church; these are specific features of Pope Francis. But, although he stood out more for being an intellectual, Benedict XVI is also meek and lovable and was a Pontiff truly close to everyone. When he renounced, I saw many people crying. And we remember how well John Paul II was loved. It will be Francis's actions and decisions, made original by his style, which will renew the Church".
Your Eminence, what is the biggest hope that the new Bishop of Rome stirs up in you?
"I hope that he will be able to give a great impetus to the Church, focused on Jesus, to bring the 'Good News' of salvation, of brotherhood and of inner peace to the world, to be reconciled with God and thus be reconciled among men. And I hope that this momentum will leave behind all the difficulties and the discord of the recent years, which were not caused by the Pope Emeritus but imposed on him as an affliction. I hope that we are moving towards calmer seas. But I do not delude myself: some have already begun attacking him".
So far, what do you like most about Pope Francis?
"That when he presented himself to St. Peter's square and to the world he invoked God's blessing by asking the people to pray for him. In this way he received the blessing of the Lord through the Christian people, and then he blessed the same people. Beautiful, all very beautiful."

Maintaining constant temperature is of particular importance to the normal operation of electronic devices. Aiming at the question, this paper proposes an optimum design of nanostructures made of high thermal conductive nanomaterials to provide outstanding heat dissipation from the confined interior (possibly nanosized) to the micro-spaces of electronic devices. The design incorporates a carbon nanocone for conducting heat from the interior to the exterior of a miniature electronic device, with the optimum diameter, D0, of the nanocone satisfying the relationship: D02(x) ∝ x1/2 where x is the position along the length direction of the carbon nanocone. Branched structure made of single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are shown to be particularly suitable for the purpose. It was found that the total thermal resistance of a branched structure reaches a minimum when the diameter ratio, β* satisfies the relationship: β* = γ-0.25bN-1/k*, where γ is ratio of length, b = 0.3 to approximately 0.4 on the single-walled CNTs, b = 0.6 to approximately 0.8 on the multiwalled CNTs, k* = 2 and N is the bifurcation number (N = 2, 3, 4 ...). The findings of this research provide a blueprint in designing miniaturized electronic devices with outstanding heat dissipation.

Vets' Checks Arrive at Retsil
RETSIL The whereabouts the past three days of more than 200 pension checks remains a mystery, but they arrived Wednesday morning at the Restil veterans home.
"It's going to be enough for the residents," superintendent Richard Shreder said of getting their checks. "They don't care what happened, they just want the problem solved."
The checks normally arrive like clockwork on the first day of the month. Residents waited in line for them Monday and Tuesday, only to be disappointed.
The Tacoma plant and Port Orchard post office that handles Retsil's mail said they didn't have them. Then Wednesday morning, they arrived like usual in Retsil's mail bag, except they were three days late.
"The word hasn't spread so much because this was literally 10 minutes ago (that the checks arrived)," Shreder said. "Our lines will be long today."

Youth must deepen activism: SACPComment on this story
The SA Communist Party (SACP) on Sunday called on young South Africans to deepen their activism to realise the aspirations of youth who participated in the 1976 Soweto uprising.
"The youth of today are faced with peculiar challenges that they have to overcome in the process of making history," the party said in a statement on Sunday in commemoration of Youth Day.
"Poverty, unemployment and inequality worldwide and in South Africa in particular have reached alarming proportions."
The 1976 Soweto uprising was a series of high school student-led protests. Learners from various schools in Soweto protested in the streets against the introduction of Afrikaans as a medium in schools. Around 20 000 students took part in the protest, and 176 people were killed.
The SACP on Sunday called on youth across the country to rise up against capitalism, poverty and inequality.
"The youth must be assisted to play a meaningful role in the economy," it said.
Education should be free and compulsory.
"We must train and support our youth to participate and build a solitary economy, an economy that places the needs of people and society ahead of profits."
Co-operatives and self-reliance should be popularised.
The National Youth Development Agency must be transformed from a "tender-dishing institution" to one which served the interests of youth.
The SACP said South African youth should act in solidarity with the youth of Palestine, Swaziland, Cuba, Western Sahara, and Syria, who were suffering imperialist subjugation.
"The anti-imperialist and anti-capitalist nature of our struggle must be deepened and the youth must be at the forefront of such struggles."
Decadent values, such as individualism, greed and corruption, spread by the mainstream media should be combated with pamphlets, leaflets, revolutionary art and theatre.
"The Department of Arts and Culture have a significant role to play in supporting young people in this instance.
"As we celebrate June 16 we dare not betray the legacy of the 1976 generations and many generations of bravery, militancy and radicalism." - Sapa

About Henry Kingsley
Henry Kingsley (2 January 1830 – 24 May 1876) was an English novelist, brother of the better-known Charles Kingsley. He was an early exponent of Muscular Christianity in his 1859 work The Recollections Of Geoffrey Hamlyn.
Kingsley was born at Barnack rectory, Northamptonshire, son of the Rev. Charles Kingsley the elder, Mary, née Lucas. Charles Kingsley came of a long line of clergymen and soldiers, and in addition to the two well-known novelists, the family included Dr. George Kingsley the traveller and writer, and a daughter who also wrote fiction and niece, Mary Kingsley. Henry Kingsley's boyhood was spent at Clovelly and Chelsea, before attending King's College School, King's College London, and Worcester College, Oxford, which he left without graduating. An opportune legacy from a relation enabled him to leave Oxford free of debt and emigrate to Australia, arriving at Melbourne in the Gauntlet in December 1853. He became involved in gold-digging, and later joined the mounted police.
For some time Kingsley had little or no money and carried his swag from station to station. Mr Philip Russell stated in 1887 that he employed Kingsley at his station Langa-Willi, and that Geoffrey Hamlyn was begun there. Miss Rose Browne, the daughter of "Rolf Boldrewood", has stated that it was on her father's suggestion that Kingsley began to write. Mr Russell's story is confirmed by her further statement that her father gave Kingsley a letter to Mr Mitchell of Langa-Willi station, that he stayed with Mitchell, and there wrote Geoffrey Hamlyn.
On his return to the UK in 1858, Kingsley devoted himself to literature, and wrote several well-regarded novels, including Geoffrey Hamlyn (1859), set in Colebrooke, Devon, and Australia, The Hillyars and the Burtons (1865), Ravenshoe (1861), and Austin Elliot (1863). Ravenshoe is generally regarded as the best. Henry Kingsley married Sarah Maria Haselwood on 19 July 1864. In 1869, he went to Edinburgh to edit the Daily Review, but he soon gave this up, and in 1870 became war correspondent for the paper during the Franco-German War.
Kingsley also published Leighton Court (1866), Mademoiselle Mathilde (1868), Tales of Old Travel re-narrated (1869), Stretton (1869), The Boy in Grey (1871), Hetty and other Stories (1871), Old Margaret (1871), Hornby Mills and other Stories (1872), Valentine (1872), The Harveys (1872), Oakshott Castle (1873), Reginald Hetherege (1874), Number Seventeen (1875), The Grange Garden (1876), Fireside Studies (Essays) (1876), The Mystery of the Island (1877).
Kingsley and his wife moved to Cuckfield, Sussex late in 1874, where Kingsley died of cancer of the tongue on 24 May 1876.

In live in the PNW and an interested in getting lighter. I am on a budget and was intrigued by the Henry Shires Tarptent concept. The only drawback seems to be condensation in humid conditions, which we always have. So I was thinking of making the tarptent out of Epic fabric. The reviews of the Black Diamond tents made of Epic look pretty good at handling rain, and with a tarptent there should be fewer issues of wet thru at stress points.My question is does anyone have experience working with Epic? Thru-Hiker has it for $12.95 a yard and it would take 6 yards for the tarptent 2. The weight looks very similar to silnylon at 1.7oz/yd.Should I go for it??
Mike,Since you would be using breathable fabric, have you thought about dispensing with the use of no-see-um and having a complete epic tent down to the poly bottom?John
Now you have me thinking even more. Wonder what the weight penalty would be for that? Would provide for a shelter that is even better in wind.Look at the great ideas I am getting already.Thanks,
I'm in the Northwest and have seen the coming of the glory of eVENT. How about an eVENT Tarptent? Oh boy!Truthfully, I live in Washington and use a Tarptent all the time- including during heavy downpours. The condensation is not that bad and is easily wiped off with a packtowel. That said, an Epic Tarptent would be one of a kind...and might be really cool!
eVent would be more compelling (to me) as a shelter material if it were produced as a lighter fabric and if it were more available in small amounts for the Make Your Own Gear crowd.I hear that Ron Bell may eventually introduce a SUL lightweight shelter w/ eVent as a more expensive (and heavier) option, over at MLD.Great avatar, Doug
Edited by kdesign on 04/10/2007 21:28:49 MDT.
Would any breathable fabric even work as a Tarp? Doesn't it have to be warmer inside the tarp in order to push the humidity out through the fabric? I think about the Bibler or the many tents that "trap" your hot breath or body heat in and just cannot see a tarp doing this. If it can, please let me know simply because this fascinates my brain! I know very little about all these technologies, but a little about basic chemistry.
A tarptent, which is being discussed, is much more enclosed than the typical tarp pitch which is why I think a w/b fabric is not such an off- the- wall proposition. Even a Bibler-style singlewall tent or a double-wall tent will shed body generated heat---it's not really trapped--- although not as quickly, of course, compared to an open tarp.
I was also thinking of adding a bit more fabric. Possibly extending the sides all the way to the ground, and adding removeable flaps on the back and a small vestibule to the front. This would add a small amount of weight, but would provide for a much more weather resistant shelter, espicaly in early spring and later fall. Also in the PNW, at lower elevations it could go all 4 seasons.One of my backpacking trips I am planning is a very short 2-3 day hike up the Hoh River in November or December to experience the full power of the rain forest.
Mike,Why not try a super cheap breathable fabric which would allow for you to make a very lightweight tent using the lightweight Tyvek used in disposable hazmat clothing. I have been using this stuff successfully for years as rain gear and it has stood up to abrasion and abuse. I would think that a stationary tent would be more durable than my raingear. Rather than invest in ultra expensive fabric which happens to be "ultra-chic" at the moment, try the less expensive and even more breathable stuff (that's what Dupont and the safety clothing manufacturers say) for your project and test it out. You may even establish yourself as the next up and coming SUL manufacturer. There are a number of suppliers. Try www.materialconcepts.com or contact Dupont directly. They have been liberal in supplying significantly sized samples. But this stuff is very inexpensive so to save time it would be more expedient to just order a few yards. Also don't confuse this with housewrap Tyvek which is relatively heavy, course and less pliable.
Awesome idea. I was originally going to use old bed sheets and such to sew a practice tarptent given the cost of the Epic fabric.Now I will try it with the Tyvek and see what happens. I assume you are speaking about the "soft" style Tyvek that is much more pliable than the standard "hard" stuff that is the typical house wrap?Anyone with experience sewing Tyvek on a standard sewing machine? Would it be easier/stronger to just use the special tape that is used to join tyvek together?I am getting really excited by the possibilities now.

A lot of people are worried about the calories but 1 tsp. a day could switch on fat burning. Did you know that it also contributes to lowering bad cholesterol. Olive oil also has Oleic acid which aids in keeping our arteries supple and helps prevent cancer.
Olive oil makes you feel full and tends to make you eat less and have fewer sugar cravings. Olive oil is a dense food and thru research it has been found that Olive oil and other nut oils do not make you gain weight. Olive oil is a digestive aid and is high in polyphenols. Proof.in September of 2003 the British Journal of Nutrition reported, it was found a significant loss of body weight and fat mass can be achieved by changing only one eating habit that is exchanging the saturated fats w/Evoo
Research in the British Journal of Nutrition shows that olive oil can assist with weight loss because it increases fat metabolism where we break down body fat. The key is to ensure that olive oil is the main source of fat in the diet & in moderation, eat a combination of olive oil, fresh fruit, vegetables and oily fish such as salmon, herring, trout, mackerel, sardines. The fats that these fish contain are beneficial & will actually improve one's health &protect us from certain diseases.
use olive oil spray instead of regular olive oil,

European shipping times grow for 21.5-, 27-inch iMacs
updated 10:34 am EST, Mon February 4, 2013
May dispel claims that production issues were fixed
Apple is delaying European shipping times for the iMac even further, notes French site MacGeneration. At the company's online store, 21.5-inch models are now only slated to ship in 3 to 4 weeks, where previously the gap was 2 to 3. The situation is worse for 27-inch systems, which have been pushed from 3 to 4 weeks to 4 to 6.
US shipping times are so far unaffected, but could follow suit soon if recent trends continue. The China Times has claimed that iMac production problems were fixed in December, but so far supplies have remained extremely limited. The current situation is more in keeping with comments by Apple CEO Tim Cook, who said that shipments would stay low throughout the current quarter.

DeWitt Beginning this month, the Manlius and DeWitt Police will be sharing equipment and personnel when dealing with fatal car accidents.
After about four months of negotiations and working out logistics, Manlius Police Chief Francis Marlowe and DeWitt Police Chief Gene Conway announced last week that their agencies will be working together to provide the best possible accident investigation services while sharing equipment and personnel in order to cut costs.
"The ultimate goal is not only cost savings, but continued proficiency in being able to investigate serious or fatal car accidents," Conway said. "We want to maintain the level of expertise we have in doing it, and at the same time, hopefully decrease costs."
An accident investigation team is made up of two or three officers who have had advanced training to know how to use the special equipment necessary to investigate the cause of a fatal or serious car accident. Because there aren't many police officers who have this special training (Conway said there are seven in the DeWitt department now), many times, there aren't enough officers working on the same shift together and an additional officer must be called in to work overtime hours to assist with the investigation.
"Now, instead of having to call in an extra officer to work overtime hours, I can call over to Manlius and if they have someone working, they will come over here and help out, which minimizes overtime costs," Conway said.
Both departments are also saving money on the equipment and software needed to perform the investigations, which would cost each agency about $6,000 to upgrade. Conway said both agencies already had similar teams and were both ready to upgrade their equipment at the same time when they realized that the departments could split the cost by sharing that equipment in addition to personnel.

Once again I see a discussion on what are the "best" awards to use in a recognition and reward program. This is the Jason of motivation questions. Just when you think you've answered it… it gets asked again and again.
I've been involved in the incentive and reward industry for more years than I care to brag about but I can say without any reservation the question of "what award to use" has been asked and answered at least each and every week of each and every year I've been in the biz. It makes me wonder if people are still figuring out how to use google or they can't find a good book on what drives people to do the things they do. It's like we hear the answer and we don't like it so we ask the question again hoping for a different answer.
Insanity. The definition.
As surely as summer follows spring another question on what award is best has surfaced on LinkedIn. This one is a little cooler because it uses the polling feature within the site but the results are no different than what I've seen in the past.
Cash Wins
Except it doesn't Studies have shown – over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over and over, (I can do this all day) and over – that it is one of the least effective motivational awards for incentive programs.
It can work – don't get me wrong – it just isn't the "best" option.
"Whoa Paul – what are you talking about? I like cash. A lot. Therefore, you are wrong."
Yeah… and I like Moose Tracks ice cream (a little too much.) Therefore, you must like Moose Track ice cream. And… fact is even though I say it I really like it, it isn't very good for me in the long run – or you for that matter.
The research is abundant and clear (I've beaten this issue like a rented mule so I'm not gonna do it any more – just google it ) awards that create a social connection, that heighten a person's "experience" with the award and are somewhat removed from money – ARE BETTER. #Fact.
I know – you don't like the answer. But you're wrong.
Unless of course because I like Linkin Park you like Linkin Park (who are we kidding – no one likes Linkin Park.)
Below is a pieced-together graphic of the results from the LinkedIn poll for your review.
Notice that cash is #2 but the group in total like the "experience" angle – and they should – it is a very powerful influencer.
I'll let you soak in the graphic and ask you to comment on what you think it shows. Me? It shows we have a long way to go as managers when it comes to understanding what truly drives behaviors and what we really care about.
If you still need to ask about which reward to use maybe you should take this quote to heart:
"If my answers frighten you then you should cease asking scary questions."
Some sort of bonus point award if you know the movie this is from – hit me in the comments.
Originally posted on on Incentive Intelligence
Paul, I happen to agree with your assertion, but what have you seen in the way of quantifiable data to back it up?
First of all I want to be real clear – cash has a place – it is just that we shouldn't use it as a default for our incentives.
I've posted extensively on the research that drives this thinking. Below are some where I've discussed it and the research is linked to in the posts:
And my favorite…
Again, cash works if used sparingly and specifically – but it is a very blunt tool and it can create way more problems than it helps solve.
Good research by Scott Jeffrey on cash vs. non-cash award effectiveness.. Most recent study in conjunction with Gordan Adomdza in 2011 on Incentive salience and improved performance. In the study, those working toward the non-cash incentive out performed those working in pursuit of cash by 16%.
I know – the evidence is there – we just need to see it!
[…] the whole post over at Paul Hebert's I-2-I (an FOT contributor blog) var dd_offset_from_content = 40; var dd_top_offset_from_content = […]
Great movie – Pulp Fiction? I hope I remembered that right? Whether I did or didn't, this post is spot on. I think cash is a lousy motivator beyond having enough, and for sure the entitlement thing is a biiig problem. My recent trip to the US earned me enough money – but for sure it was all the experiences I soaked up along the way that motivates me and energises and engages me. One thing that doesn't seem to come up much in these surveys is stuff around personal development. I think the idea of being given complete flexibility and choice over your some or even all of your development budget could be a great way of recognising/motivating people. But then I'm no expert – what say you Paul?
Yup… Pulp Fiction for the win! Thanks for playing you get the home version of Incentive Intelligence! Great fun for the family.
You're on the right path with the flexibility thing. One of the great drivers of engagement within an organization is "control." Control of my time, control of my work, control of the process. People are creative and people are curious. When you give them some control on the "how" work gets done you engage a whole different part of their brain and therefore get more of them in the work they do.
Thanks Doug for weighing in – really appreciate it.
Excellent post. It's amazing how many managers still aren't getting this.

Okay Jules, pretend I'm Vincent so we can get to the Pulp of the Fiction. I think the real reason this comes up so often is not because we can't digest the fact that cash isn't best, but because we lack the creativity to come up with the alternative. My staff ranges in age from 19 to 67 and represents numerous cultures, religions and races. Their individual likes vary as much as their musical tastes. It's terribly difficult to come up with one program that satisfies all of their individual triggers. I use hand written notes, lunches, bonuses, a wide variety of gift cards and paid personal time off. I always look for articles like yours because I'm hoping to find a new idea on what to offer them. So keep it coming because I agree with you, I'm just out of ideas!
If you're not in a position to use a professional agency with a good catalog that includes a very wide assortment of both tangible and experiencial awards – then the next best thing – wait for it… is some sort of gift card system that allows people to pick the card they want. Remember – there isn't a "perfect" system – just some that are better than others. At the end of the day though – cash is probably the worst because it sets an expectation that can't be maintained for too long.

Veronica Bellino is a New York native who has been on the rise as one of the industries hottest, young drummer/songwriters. Veronica has co-written and performed with the legendary DMC of Run DMC, found a national spotlight in The Game's "Red Nation" video, worked with LL Cool J as a member of his signed band, 13, conquered dozens of stages with drum-icon, Carmine Appice's SLAMM group, and worked with Living Legend, Jeff Beck as a live drummer and song collaborator.
Veronica found herself on the major circuit after joining Favored Nations Recording Artist, Rob Balducci's full time band. Promoting his record "The Color of Light," Veronica performed with Balducci from 2004 to 2007, participating in a UK tour with Richie Kotzen and US shows with Michael Schenker, Uli John Roth, Nuno Bettencourt, UFO, James Labrie, and Vernon Reid. In July 2006, the Rob Balducci band paired with label mate Dave Weiner (Steve Vai) for "A Night of Pure Guitar," a week long tour of venues in Pittsburg, PA, Indianapolis, IN, Kansas City, MO, St. Louis, MO, and Chicago, IL.
With receiving recognition from the legendary rock drummer, Carmine Appice, Veronica was accepted as a member of his dynamic, explosive, physical drum show called SLAMM!! Described as "Stomp on steroids," Veronica joined Appice, along with 3 other eclectic drummers and a guitar player to make rock music out of everyday items, as well as drums. SLAMM was seen on ESPN by millions, in a music video that was shot for NASCAR. The Slammers were featured wailing on tires, tool boxes, air wrenches, and the hood of a race car!
continued below...
Veronica Bellino
In 2007, SLAMM performed 7 sold out shows at the Cutting Room in New York City, and 3 packed shows on New Years Eve at a 3000 seat performance center in Providence. In 2008, SLAMM performed at the Dunkin Donuts Civic Center along with Twisted Sister, Tesla, Winger, and many others for the Providence Station Family Fund. SLAMM member, Zoilo Ruiz, also recruited Veronica to perform with his dance and percussion troupe called Industrial Rhythm. Veronica performs at corporate events with Ruiz, along with others, for companies such as Cisco Systems, EZ-GO, Michelin Tires, and 3M.
In February 2009, Veronica began drumming for LL Cool J's Platinum Harvest recording artists, 13, illuminating the band's hip hop-rock sound with her sense of groove and musicianship. The group hit Platinum Sound Studios in New York City to record their debut album, and filmed a national commercial for LL Cool J's Sears clothing line. 13 laid the ground work for a new direction of rock and hip-hop, captivating audiences on stages such as the 2009 New York Marathon, with their fun spirited and energetic live show.
Upon moving to Los Angeles early in March 2011, Veronica began recording drum tracks for Stop Making Friends (NCIS actress/musician Pauley Perrette's band). She also collaborated on songs such as DMC's "Attention Please", featuring Perrette on vocals. She took part as the drummer in the music video for the song as well, which was featured on CBS show, The Insider, in November 2011. Following the release of "Attention Please", Veronica became DMC's permanent live drummer and backing vocalist in his 5 piece band. The band reinvents the classics of Run DMC while featuring DMC's rock-driven solo material at venues nationally and internationally.
In the summer of 2011, Veronica began working with legendary guitar player, Jeff Beck, as a drummer, collaborator, and vocalist. Beck discovered Veronica's drumming, and bucket percussion talents on YouTube, searching for "something different," and contacted her right away. Jeff took Veronica in the studio along with bassist, Rhonda Smith, to write and record a new record. Veronica's first show was at the Classic Rock Awards at The Roundhouse in London in November 2011. Beck received the Living Legend award, which was followed by a performance from Beck and band, with guest singers, Chrissie Hynde, and Joss Stone. In February 2012, Veronica accompanied Jeff on stage performing at the White House for the "Red, White and Blues" event in front of the President and guests.
Veronica's career continues to expand. Veronica embarks on a drum clinic collaboration with fellow drummer, Felipe Torres ( Davy Jones, Carmine Appice's SLAMM). The two perform drum duo's, and separate demonstrations at schools and music stores around the U.S., such as The Long Island Drum Center and The Musicians Institute in Los Angeles. In the fall of 2012, Veronica joins the all female band, Dollface, for a residency in Las Vegas. With explosive energy, the band wowed crowds 4 to 5 nights a week at Excalibur and Harrahs Casinos. After an 8 month run with Dollface, Veronica was contacted by multi platinum record producer, Matthew Hager, about joining Allison Iraheta's band, Halo Circus. Iraheta was the fourth place finalist on the eighth season of American Idol. Veronica was blown away by the amazing voice and talent of Halo Circus and joined band. Under Manimal Vinyl, the band released their first single, "Gone", on October 8th, 2013.
