Welcome to the Michael Jackson memorial service live blog. Don't forget you can watch the full event on a live stream here and you can follow on Twitter here. We're expecting a memorable afternoon featuring Mariah Carey, Usher, John Mayer, Stevie Wonder and a host of other guests and surprises in celebration of Jackson's life and career.
All times are Eastern.
11:32 – The family is currently unloading at the private ceremony at Forest Lawn Cemetery, while fans are filing into the Staples Center. Several outlets are reporting that Jackson's body will be transported via helicopter from the cemetery to the public memorial.
11:47 – Though the crowds continue to grow outside the Staples Center, everything appears to be running smoothly and orderly.
12:01 – Sway is live outside the Staples Center. The crowd looks big but controlled. Jackson has surpassed President Obama in Facebook fans — over 7 million! The other amazing number: Over a billion people worldwide will probably watch this memorial today.
12:05 – Former MTV VJ Mark Goodman, who premiered the the "Thriller" video on MTV: "It was so immense for us, and he was the quintessential star."
12:11 – The Jackson family has wrapped up their service at Forest Lawn and is headed towards the Staples Center.
12:12 – President Obama on Michael Jackson: "I still have all his stuff on my iPod."
12:19 – Jackson's casket is also currently on its way to the public memorial.
12:21 – MTV News' Katie Byrne is inside the Staples Center. She says that though the mood outside the building is festive, the tone inside is more somber.
12:24 – Currently playing inside Staples Center: "Smile While Your Heart Is Breaking"
12:27 – Members of Earth, Wind & Fire have arrived at the venue. Reports are saying that most of the stars are getting into the building through a private entrance.
12:34 – The Jackson family actually has the entire highway to themselves — amazing considering it's rush hour in Southern California.
12:37 – Mark Goodman and Tim Kash agree that Jackson's funeral is probably the last one of this size we'll ever see.
12:41 – Though the ceremony will be starting a little late, the Staples Center is still nowhere close to full. The giant screens inside the arena are now broadcasting the crowds outside.
12:43 – Another statistic: LAPD officials estimate that this is the largest event the police have handled since the Olympics were in Los Angeles in 1984.
12:49 – From the MTV News Twitter feed: "Example of what some of the fans are wearing: vintage Thriller jackets. Tons of gloves on hands. And a lot of fedoras."
12:51 – The Jackson family has just arrived at the Staples Center, so it looks like the memorial is going to start on time.
12:59 – The body of Michael Jackson has arrived at the Staples Center.
1:01 – MTV News' Jayson Rodriguez says Kobe Bryant got a standing ovation when he entered, and that they just announced that the memorial would begin shortly.
1:04 – Sway estimates there must be over 100 media outlets from around the world covering the memorial — more than he's ever seen at an event.
1:11 – The crowd outside is starting to disperse as the last of the stragglers move into the Staples Center.
1:12 – Smokey Robinson begins the memorial by reading letters to the Jackson family. Diana Ross regrets that she could not attend today.
1:13 – Via a letter, Nelson Mandela sends his condolences and urges the family to "be strong."
1:17 – Fans have also gathered by the thousands in Times Square in New York to watch the memorial service.
1:20 – There is currently a prolonged pause in the action at the Staples Center, and it's mostly quiet in there — an incredible show of respect.
1:24 – John Norris tells Tim Kash that he was once in a Conga line with Jackson while on the set of the video for "In the Closet."
1:33 – The event officially opens with the Andrae Crouch Choir singing the hymn "We Are Going to See the King" as Jackson's casket is brought out onto the stage.
1:37 – Pastor Lucious Smith welcomes the crowd, noting that only days ago Jackson was in the same space rehearsing for a tour. He references a number of Jackson song titles, including "Remember the Time," "Gone Too Soon" and "Heal the World."
1:40 – Mariah Carey enters to sing the Jackson 5 classic "I'll Be There," which was a chart-topping hit for her. She also welcomes singer Trey Lorenz, who was her duet partner on "MTV Unplugged" in 1992.
1:43 – "I'll Be There" is accompanied by images of the Jackson 5 and of Michael in his youth. Carey ends the song by improvising with Lorenz a capella, singing "We'll never say goodbye."
1:45 – Queen Latifah comes to the podium to talk about loving Michael from afar. She calls Jackson "the biggest star on Earth," and says he reminded her that there was a world outside America.
1:48 – Latifah reads a poem called "We Had Him," written for this occasion by Maya Angelou. It contains an apt line: "He was ours and we were his."
1:50 – Lionel Richie takes the stage, accompanied by a fantastic photo of him and Jackson from the "We Are the World" sessions (Richie co-wrote the song). He sings the Commodores' classic "Jesus Is Love," aided by the choir.
1:54 – Berry Gordy talks about Jackson as an innovator. He says that Jackson was like a son to him and that "he raised the bar, then broke the bar."
1:55 – Gordy talks about the day the Jackson 5 auditioned for him at Motown Records, and said that Michael "had a quality we couldn't completely understand, but we knew he was special."
1:58 – Gordy: "When Michael sang his songs, you could feel the happiness in his soul." He mentions the Jackson 5 being the only group in history to have their first four records go to the top of the charts. He then talks about the legendary Moonwalk at the Motown anniversary show: "It was magic. Michael Jackson went into orbit and never came down."
2:02 – Gordy: "Michael was a master — a take-no-prisoners showman. I feel that the 'King of Pop' is not big enough for him — I think he is simply the greatest entertainer that has ever lived." That moving speech nets Gordy a raucous standing ovation.
2:04 – Next up is a video montage, featuring performance footage, music video clips, awards show appearances and all his classic dance moves. Footage from appearances worldwide really drives home the fact that Jackson was not just a singer but a beloved global phenomenon.
2:07 – Stevie Wonder takes the stage and sits at the piano. "As much as we may feel that we need Michael here with us, God must have needed him far more," he says. "We can't help but love you forever, Michael." He then performs a fabulously moving rendition of "I Never Dreamed You'd Leave in Summer."
2:12 – Stevie seamlessly transitions into "They Won't Go When I Go." He's genuinely moved by everything, and he absolutely tore the house down.
2:15 – Kobe Bryan and Magic Johnson step to the microphone to talk about Jackson's philanthropy. Bryant mentions Jackson's Guiness World Record for most charities supported by a single person.
2:17 – Johnson, who appears in the video for Michael's "Remember the Time," talks about hanging out with the family while playing with the Lakers. "I truly believe Michael made me a better basketball player as I watched him become the greatest entertainer ever," Johnson says. He tells a hilarious story about having dinner at Michael's house to discuss the "Remember the Time" video and eating a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken on the floor of the dining room.
2:21 – Jennifer Hudson takes the stage to sing "Say You'll Be There."
2:25 – Al Shapton talks about meeting Jackson at a young age and being inspired by his barrier-breaking career.
2:28 – Sharpton credits Michael with the rise of Oprah, Tiger Woods and Barack Obama, because he broke down racial barriers and made people feel comfortable with people of color. "As you climb up steep mountains, sometimes you scar your knee. But don't focus on the scars — focus on the journey. Michael never stopped!"
2:31 – Sharpton tells Michael's children that there wasn't anything strange about their dad, but what he had to deal with was strange.
2:32 – Sharpton stirs the crowd with a simple message: "Thank you, Michael!"
2:33 – The message on the video screen: "There's nothing that can't be done if we raise our voices as one."
2:34 – John Mayer straps on a guitar to play a bluesy version of "Human Nature." It's a dreamy performance with a sweet solo, recalling Jackson's collaborations with great axemen like Eddie Van Halen and Slash.
2:38 – Mayer closes by embracing Michael's brothers, all of whom are sitting in the front row.
2:39 – Brooke Shields, a longtime friend of Jackson's, talks about living in the spotlight with Michael. Shields was 13 years old when they met, and she says they had a bond because they both understood what it was like to be famous when they were both so young.
2:41 – Shields says Jackson once tried to teach her the Moonwalk, which she could never nail down.
2:43 – Choking back tears, Shields talks about all the times she got to laugh with Jackson. "He was a lover of life. He cared so deeply for his family and his friends and his fans," she says. She has always thought of him as main character from "The Little Prince," so she reads a passage from the book.
2:46 – Shields says Michael's favorite song was "Smile," from the Charlie Chaplin movie "Modern Times." "We need to look up, and we need to smile," she says in closing.
2:48 – Jermaine Jackson, wearing a single sequined glove, takes the stage for an a capella rendition of "Smile," which also appeared on Michael's HIStory album.
2:51 – A very emotional Jermaine makes it through the song, saying "I love you Michael" at the conclusion.
2:53 – Martin Luther King III speaks about Michael's greatness. Bernice King talks about Michael's life in public, just like her parents. "He epitomized the words of our father, that an individual hasn't started living until he rises above his own personal concerns to the broader concerns of humanity," she says.
2:59 – Texas Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee speaks on behalf of the United States Congress and the Congressional Black Caucus. She drives home Jackson's innocence in legal matters, and talks about how Jackson called the world into public service with his music.
3:03 – The Congresswoman tells a story about Jackson visiting a veterans' hospital to talk to soldiers who were injured during the Iraq War. "Michael fought for the tolerance of all people," she says. "Michael fought the good fight."
3:06 – Lee says that Congress stopped and had a moment of silence for Jackson when he passed away. She also adds that she is introducing a resolution in the House of Representatives that acknowledges Michael as a legend and a humanitarian. "Michael Jackson, I salute you," she says.
3:08 – It's Usher's turn now, and he sings the Michael ballad "Gone Too Soon."
3:10 – Usher walks towards the casket during the lyric "Born to amuse, to inspire, to delight/ Here one day, gone one night." Like many of today's performers, he delivers his final line through tears.
3:12 – They're playing footage from a Jackson 5 performance on "The Ed Sullivan Show" in 1969.
3:14 – Smokey Robinson is up now, talking about meeting Michael when he was 10 years old, and how incredibly impressed he was with his talent and his ability to express himself. Robinson says he was amazed that Michael sang "Who's Loving You" (written by Robinson) better than him.
3:17 – Robinson: "He has made an enormous impact all over the world. I'm glad that I live in this era, that I was able to see the greatest entertainer of all time."
3:19 – Next up is Shaheen Jafargholi, a singer who made a name for himself on "Britain's Got Talent." The 12-year-old sings "Who's Loving You" and is amazingly accomplished for his age.
3:21 – Jafargholi closes by thanking Michael Jackson "for blessing me and everybody on this Earth with his incredible music."
3:22 – "This Is It" tour director Kenny Ortega (he also of the "High School Musical" films) comes out to introduce Jafargholi (he was going to join Michael on stage in London) and to talk about the rehearsals for the concerts.
3:24 – Ortega introduces a piece that would have appeared in the "This Is It" shows in London. It's a performance of "We Are the World," featuring a group of singers who would have backed up Jackson during the tour.
3:27 – For the finale of the song, the singers are joined by Jackson's children, Smokey Robinson, Usher, Brooke Shields and a host of others to sing the chorus.
3:29 – Following another standing ovation, everyone stays on stage for a performance of "Heal the World."
3:33 – They're joined by a large chorus of kids, recalling Jackson's iconic Super Bowl performance in 1993.
3:34 – Jermaine returns to the microphone to thank everybody for coming out. He's followed by Marlon, who tells a handful of stories about growing up with Michael (including watching "The Three Stooges" with him). "I have one request, Michael: I would like for you to give our brother Brandon a hug for me."
3:40 – Jackson's daughter Paris takes the microphone and talks about what a great father Michael was, saying "I love him so much" before breaking down in tears. Jermaine says "Thank you and good night" to send everybody home from a moving, emotional ceremony.
3:42 – As the family carries Michael's casket off the stage, "Man in the Mirror" plays over the PA and a single empty spotlight shines down on a microphone, leaving a final poetic reminder that a great artist is no longer with us.
3:44 – Pastor Smith returns one last time, encouraging everybody to follow the message of "Man in the Mirror" to go out and inspire change. "The music of Michael Jackson brings us together around the world," he says. He closes the memorial with a prayer, asking everybody to hold the hand of the person next to them.

J.C. Penney: Don't break your promise to families of workers who died making your clothes
On December 14, 2010, 30 Bangladeshi factory workers were burned alive when an easily preventable fire broke out in the unsafe, multi-story sweatshop in which they were working. These men and women worked for "That's It Sportswear" producing clothing for famous U.S. brands.
Thanks to pressure from Change.org members, seven of the eight brands (including J.C. Penney) doing business with the factory owners – the Hameem Group – signed a commitment to ensure fair compensation for the injured workers and surviving family members of the workers who died and to take meaningful steps to stop the epidemic of workplace deaths at US brands' apparel factories in Bangladesh. Now J.C. Penney has shamefully broken this pledge. Today, six of the eight brands continue negotiating in good faith to establish an adequate worker compensation fund and sustainable fire safety initiatives. J.C. Penney, however, has dropped out.
We need your help to send a message to J.C. Penney to honor the commitments they made in January.
In Bangladesh, nearly 500 workers have died in factory fires during the past five years. Establishing effective initiatives to prevent fires like this from occurring again is critical. Nothing less than workers' lives are at stake. Don't let J.C. Penney walk away from workers in Bangladesh.

Q: There is a thirty-year-old woman in our architectural office who, on most days, has 3/4 of her body exposed. The areas can be her back, legs, and usually her midriff. She is very pretty but dresses in unattractive, sloppy, revealing, and provocative clothing. Often her underwear shows and she tugs at it. A number of employees both male and female would really like management to make some sort of stand. What can we do?
A: You should talk to management and request a dress code for the office. This is not unreasonable and is something many companies have as part of office policy.

This book is about the Kailash, this mountain is sacred for all the major religions of Asia, buddhism and hinduism. The pictures in the book are taken during the Saga Dawa, that is an important Tibetan Buddhist festival, held each year on the full moon day of the fourth lunar month of the Tibetan calendar, to celebrate Sakyamuni 's enlightenment. During this period the Kailash is full of pilgrims that arrive from everywhere in Asia. I went there during these days to see these events with he eyes of a pilgrim. The photos in the book are about the people and the places met during my pilgrimage.

Shouldn't we add that the Sharingan requires two eyes to bring out their true potential as noted by madara in chapter 602 —This unsigned comment was made by 18.104.22.168 (talk • contribs) .
We don't know what was meant by that, either Susanoo/Rinnegan or something new--Elveonora (talk) 23:37, September 20, 2012 (UTC)
If the Sharingan requires two eyes to bring out their true potential does that mean that if obito had his other sharingan he'd have the same abilities he does now expect he would be to suck things in the other dimension without physical contact like kakashi's version of kamui and his own current kamui would be strengthened? --126.96.36.199 (talk) 17:54, October 12, 2012 (UTC)
No point in discussing it, that's forum talk. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 17:59, October 12, 2012 (UTC)
What do you mean that's forum talk? why shouldn't we discuss it? --22.214.171.124 (talk) 19:01, October 12, 2012 (UTC)
Discussing the topic of an article just for the sake of discussion is considered forum talk. Topic is meant to be discussed only as far as needed to determine how to list the information. If Sharingan does X, we simply say it does, and unless that goes against anything previously established, in which case discussion should be restricted in pointing that out in the article, no point in discussing why it does X. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 19:27, October 12, 2012 (UTC)
I don't get what you mean... --220.127.116.11 (talk) 21:42, October 12, 2012 (UTC)
Basically, if you want to ask something just for the sake of asking, don't. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 21:45, October 12, 2012 (UTC)
I'm a massive naruto fan and not a vandal I do lose my cool from time to time just thought I'd let you know. I just wanna like know more so I can help more. --220.127.116.11 (talk) 22:14, October 12, 2012 (UTC)
The only instance that we know this could refer to would be "a 3rd power" an example of this being Amaterasu/Tsukuyomi requirement for Susanoo use. Simply A Mangekyou tech. in left along with B Mangekyou tech. in right in order to use "C" with both. But since we don't know if this is what was referred for, it's soon to conclude as such--Elveonora (talk) 23:25, October 12, 2012 (UTC)
Copy Kekkei Genkai
it should be noted the Sharingan can decipher kekkei genkai techniques if the user has the kekkei genkai in question, Madara can use all of the first's jutsu because of his first hand experience reading the techniques after his reincarnation because of this. 18.104.22.168 (talk) 07:52, November 9, 2012 (UTC)
Hey Cerez, this one might actually have a point. It's noted the Sharingan can't duplicate bloodline abilities, but at the same time, It doesn't seem like it can copy any technique the user can't perform. For example, Sasuke's sharingan copied Shadow of the Dancing Leaf from Lee, but he himself didn't possess the speed to duplicate Lee's other moves until he trained for the 3rd stage of the Chuunin exam. In this case, Madara didn't have the ability to perform wood release when he was alive, but when revived he duplicated abilities of Hashirama's he couldn't have seen less than 50 years ago. If phrased properly, I think it's worth noting that if in possession of the capacity to perform a bloodline, the Sharingan can duplicate it. --Hawkeye2701 (talk) 16:35, November 9, 2012 (UTC)

Article Date: 11/1/2006
billing & coding
Coding for Clinical Technology
How to bill for the use of new instrumentation.
a profession, I feel we optometrists are beginning to understand the value of our
services and also that we are taking the steps necessary to ensure we are coding
and billing correctly.
I often feel like a broken record when I repeat phrases such as, "bill appropriately
for each visit," or "you must count up the number of exam elements that you performed,"
or, one of my favorite lines that I often use when teaching optometry interns, "when
was the last time you had an appointment with a medical doctor and you expected
or received care free of charge?"
Coding for Clinical Technology
Spreading the word
Have you noticed how easy it has become to find
information on the business of optometry and how to incorporate medical optometry
and billing into your practice? I have several journal supplements on coding and
billing for glaucoma, dry eye and even silicone hydrogel contact lenses on my desk
that I received in the last year that serve as excellent references. I also receive
several e-mail advertisements a week on continuing education conferences that are
promoting the integration of medical concepts with business and coding concepts.
Recently, I was reading a practice
management article on clinical technology by Gary Gerber, O.D. He astutely stated
that by incorporating new clinical technology into your practice, there are obvious
benefits to the care you provide to your patients. He also said these technologies
benefit your practice by improving the practice image. I agree with this wholeheartedly.
That article prompted me to
provide an update on how to code and get reimbursed when you incorporate new clinical
technology into your practice. Remember, billing consistently and appropriately
and having staff who are knowledgeable about the managed care plans for which you
are a provider will also improve your practice image.
Details, details
First, determine the correct CPT code assigned
to your new office instrumentation (see table 1). These codes are billable in addition
to your evaluation and management code (992XX) or other office visit code (comprehensive
eye exam or consultation codes). You must properly document medical necessity for
the additional testing in the patient's record when you are seeking insurance reimbursement.
Keep a record of statements like, "ordered nerve fiber layer analysis (GDX) due
to optic disc pallor in both eyes." An auditor will easily find and understand these
notes. Choose diagnosis codes that accompany and indicate medical necessity for
your procedure code. For example, it would be hard to justify the medical necessity
of performing corneal pachymetry with a retinal detachment diagnosis.
One or two?
Know if the procedure code is monocular or binocular.
Monocular codes are billed twice when performed binocularly or should be accompanied
by a -50 modifier. Add a -52 modifier to binocular codes performed monocularly.
Some procedures require additional medical record documentation consisting of interpretation
and a report of the data collected. For threshold visual field testing, this would
include whether the testing was reliable. It would also include a brief summary
of the threshold visual field printout. You can document this directly on the printout
kept in the medical record or in your examination notes.

She has already changed her Twitter name to "Brandi Rhodes."

Acrobatic's Minisynth series collection consist of three instruments: FRET, GRIT and PEAK.
A spokesperson told us, "As an overall concept, Acrobatics simplified controls and packed implementations to the highest grade to push-up users creativity first and give steady look and maximum usability to the three polyphonic synthesizers. A common look and feel and standardized location of knobs and switches goes in the direction of helping musician when in a busy musical work, when certainly requires fast access to basic synthesis controls and settings to fit in the mix. The Minisynth series collection is also suitable for educational purpuses for its separate interpretations of most important synthesis methods and applications."

Boasting a 2.8 inch 680x480 VGA screen, the physical dimentions of the phone (102 x 51 x 11.5 mm) reveal that it is the thinnest device released by HTC to date. It includes a 3.2 MP camera, 4G internal storage, 256 MB flash memory, and 192MB RAM, as well as integrated Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0, GPS, and HSDPA support. The upgraded TouchFlo 3D interface is animated to give easy access to contacts, messages, etc. It lets you zoom in and out of web pages and auto rotation from portrait to landscape modes - much like Apple's iPhone.

Proliferation of illegal entry points along the coastline has been cited as a major factor for the flooding of counterfeit products in the local market.
Minister for Trade and Industries Dr Abdallah Kigoda said yesterday that it had come to the ministry's attention that there exists a substantial number of illegal operating landing points along the Bagamoyo-Dar es Salaam shoreline through which fake industrial products find their way into the market.
According to the minister, authorities have established up to 35 illegal entry points along the coastline.
"Illegal entry points disturb the government because they affect the economy and threaten the health of our people," he stated.
"We need to be serious with this because it has a lot of negative impact to the society. For a start we will cooperate with the police force in ending the problem," he said.
The police will take control of illegal entry points because they are readily recognizable, he said, listing some of the counterfeit products in the market as body oils, milk for children, water, electricity cables, as well as vehicle parts and motorcycle tyres.
He said that the victims of these products are low income earners because of its low price compared to the original goods.
In solving the problem, the ministry was joining efforts with the Tanzania Bureau of Standards (TBS), the Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA), the Fair Competition Commission (FCC) and the Tanzania Ports Authority (TPA) for inspecting imported products.
The ministry has also told the Confederation of Tanzania Industries (CTI) to cooperate in fighting the problem as they are among the victims.
Dr Kigoda warned businessman involved in counterfeit goods to immediately stop the business by taking out all fake products in their shops.
An operation for taking out fake goods from the market will start soon, he said, noting that it will involve the police force and other institutions.
The ministry also plans to provide civic education to various groups in society to raise awareness on fake products.
Education will focus on how customers can identify fake products, he said, urging different stakeholders to cooperate with the government in ending the problem. They should for instance report to authorities the existence of fake goods whenever found.
He said about 20 percent of goods in circulation in the local market are counterfeit products.
The data shows counterfeit and substandard industrial products continued to flood the domestic market in 2008, causing a revenue collection to sink, he asserted.
"In fact, that year saw illegally manufactured, fake and substandard products increase from about 35 to 40 per cent of all goods in the local market," he further stated.
A report prepared by the Confederation of Tanzania Industries (CTI) says that Tanzania, like other countries around the world, suffers enormously from adverse effects of the flooding of counterfeit and substandard products.
Invariably, the impact of counterfeit and substandard goods hurts the economy, occasioning dwindling government revenues.
The government, for example, loses between 540 and 900 billion shillings per year due to tax evasion related to counterfeit and substandard goods, CTI says.
In the year 2008 the government may have lost an estimated four trillion shillings due to the prevalence of counterfeit goods in the domestic market, he said.
Fake industrial equipment and raw materials generated a loss of 1,000bn/-; vehicle spare parts (800bn/-); agriculture inputs (600bn/-) and chemicals (400bn/-).
More revenue was also lost due to the presence of fake pharmaceuticals (400bn/-); building materials (320bn/-); textiles and clothes (240bn/-); food and beverages (200bn/-) alcohol and drinking water (200bn/-). This brought the total loss to 3,160bn/-, but this not the whole story, CTI says.
Fake goods also compound health problems (fake medical drugs and foods); hurts businesses and consumers and complicates project implementation for government departments. "The presence of fake medical drugs and foods is an annoyance to the entire society as it touches nearly everyone" the CTI report intoned.

Rubber band jewelry is all the rage among the kids these days, thanks to the Rainbow Loom. If you haven't seen it, it's a pretty neat little system of pegs that makes it very easy to weave bright, colorful, and stretchy bracelets in a matter of minutes. My 12-year-old daughter got a Rainbow Loom and has figured out several of the patterns included in the kit.
This past weekend, while she was engrossed in her newest obsession, I took a quick peek on Pinterest and found that rubber band jewelry is a hit there, too. A video from Justin's Toys caught my eye -- it showed how to make a "hexafish" (a tube with a herringbone or chevron pattern) with rubber bands by snapping two Rainbow Looms together end to end. Well, it took me about three seconds to realize I could do the same thing on a spool knitter, which I just happened to have nearby. So I set to work and, a couple of hours later, had made the tube for the bracelet shown above. It was a real hoot! The ends don't come together well (at least I haven't figured out how to do it nicely yet), so I joined the ends of my tube with a bit of wire and made a beaded bead to cover the unsightly join. So fun! And as soon as my daughter saw this technique, she just had to try it and has made a bracelet and several zipper pulls.
Watch my easy video tutorial on how to make your own rubber band jewelry without a Rainbow Loom, using a spool knitter instead.
So have you made any rubber band jewelry? If so, tell us about it below!

Evan Rachel Wood will be presenting an award at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards tonight.
She took to the red carpet wearing a one sleeved Gucci Resort 2011 dress – unsurprisingly as she's the face of 'Gucci Guilty'.
What was surprising was how much I didn't really like it because Evan has great style.
Her olive ombre animal print Gucci dress isn't the issue, because it works well with her moody persona and flame red hair.
I just don't like the thigh-high boots.
Firstly because they look a tad baggy. Secondly they don't work with her dress and thirdly I just don't like thigh-high boots.

Dance and Sex: Partners in time.
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
" One should try everything in life except buggery and folk-dance "
" One should try everything in life, especially buggery during folk-dance "
Dancing has been enjoyed by women and homosexuals since the dawn of time, and tolerated by straight men since they realised that it could well lead to sex - but just how did these two seemingly unrelated activities become so entwined?
Folk Dance
We have all witnessed the sensual movements of modern Latin ballroom, the passion of the Bolero, the ecstasy of Tango, but dancing and the sexual act have been opposite sides of the same coin since before coins were invented. The oldest surviving dances are the traditional folk dances preserved as part of each country's cultural heritage. Every one of these folk-traditions gives some clue as to the sexual moray's of our ancestors and we would be fools to ignore the wisdom of the past.
Lapp Dancing
The Lapps (or Sami) are the last tribal people of Europe and are thought to be among the first settlers of this Northern continent. Just what do the Terpsichorean traditions of these ancient people tell us about our own past?
Between late June and mid-July, with the reindeer safely grazing the briefly flowering tundra, Lapps begin to assemble all over the Scandinavian peninsula for the Scurdifurlbattlagardtnersnikkkfretgilbretoffgar (Summer Beach Party). The men in their brightly coloured clothing line up nervously, often smoking the dried, hallucinogenic mushrooms of these Arctic latitudes while boasting of previous conquests at the previous year's Scurdifurlbattlagardtnersnikkkfretgilbretoffgar. Lapp maidens braid their hair and apply a musky perfume distilled from wolf urine that Lapp males seem almost irresistably drawn towards..
The drums beat out an increasingly frenetic rhythm and yet no one stirs. The tribal elders begin to chant songs of fertility and incest, and still the two groups must stand on opposite sides of the room, feigning disinterest. Eventually, a Shaman stands. He blows a horn to signify the beginning of the annual festival and the dance may begin.
Within moments each man finds a chair, removes his hat and sits down, generally with a small bottle of beer that can cost up to five weeks' wages. The ladies then begin to walk slowly across the room, divesting themselves of layer after layer of seal skin and moose skin, twirling nipple-tassles woven from the tails of lemmings and finally unlacing their fox-fur thongs.
Now, often excited beyond reason, the men must remain silent. The Lapp maidens slowly apply Caribou grease to their bodies before using their buttocks to smear a small amount on the thighs of their chosen bridegroom. The lucky recipient must be careful not to give in to temptation at this point or he will be ceremonially removed from the Scurdifurlbattlagardtnersnikkkfretgilbretoffgar-centre and beaten savagely to the accompaniment of the traditional Lapp folk-song "Snidgkolpftufty nidpit klujnik" - "You can look but no touching'."
Pole Dancing
Further south, where the Winter's toll is less severe and the Summer sun plays for longer, a similar but distinct tradition has grown-up among Europe's victims of choice, the Polish people.
From Gdansk on the Baltic to Silesia in the South, young girls assemble at beer-halls in April, their hair in two plaits tied with ribbons and adorned with intricately carved wooden phalluses. Flowers or headscarves are also worn, and contraceptive sponges quickly become scarce in local pharmacies. Tight lace-up boots rather like an ice skating boot are worn but with a sharply pointed, silver heel that leaves an instantly recognisable imprint when standing on the back of the chosen groom, marking him as the possession of the dancer until the scar fades. Dresses are usually white, thin, short and cut low at the chest.
Men often wear striped trousers and tight leather posing pouches, known as "Cameos". Most men also wear a purse stuffed with small denomination bills. It is considered taboo for men to participate in Pole dancing without first consuming a large quantity of vodka. Equally, it is impermissible to attend a Pole-dance alone, ideally men should have at least four friends and should spend some time investigating which of them can roar the loudest encouragement to the shyly, virginal dancers; who can buy the most extravagant round, and which of the ornamental plant-pots is most capacious when it comes to vomiting.
One by one dancers appear on stage to briefly represent different aspects of Poland's national character. Most nights feature the aggressive, fiery character who gyrates with abandon to represent the miraculous flowering of Poland between 1569 and 1795, next comes the shy, retiring dancer who seems almost too timid to flaunt her hooters for cash and represents the disappearance of the state of Poland in the nineteenth century. Other popular characters include the cow-girl who represents Poland's contribution to the Settlement of the North American prairies and the Goth who represents The Cure's residence in Warsaw during the recording of "The Head on the Door".
Many Pole-dancers are so committed to their nation's cultural heritage that they willingly stay behind after hours offering extras to eager audience members. Interestingly, though Poles are very patriotic a frequent request is for "A bit of French".
Other European Folk-Dance Traditions
The English are famous for their inability to dance (see Billy Elliot). However, even in this repressed corner of Europe a folk-dance tradition hints at unexplored depths.
Morris Dancing is recorded as far back as 1948 and involves teams of up to twelve men who tie bells to their limbs and wave hankies in the air while beating each other's bladders with sticks. The meaning of this tradition is unknown but it is thought to involve loneliness and cider.
In Bavaria and Austria, where homosexuality is less frowned upon, Schuhplattlers can be seen in most tourist hotels. In this tradition a group of between 6 and 8 men in tightly fitting leather underwear slap their shoes in ever faster rhythms until eventually half the troupe perform a hand-stand while the remaining dancers continue the percussion on their buttocks.
Once the dance is completed, the Schuhplattlers make themselves available for hire in the hotel lobby. A bar-fee is payable to the manager for lost time and the dancer and his admirer negotiate their own rate in privacy.
The Basque people have resided in Europe almost as long as the Lapps. Their war-like ways have struck fear into the hearts of their neighbours through the centuries and yet Basque dancing is strangely restrained, involving little more than the slow movement of well-endowed maidens in restrictive underwear until either she or her audience faint. Extreme Basque dancing involves the planting of small explosive devices in railway stations, the telephoning of a bomb-threat to a National Newspaper and the production of goats' cheese to the accompaniment of accordion music while dressed only in a corset.
Beyond Folk-Dance
In an increasingly modern world folk-tradition can seem staid and old-fashioned. The young look beyond the narrow confines of their grand-parents and dance has become an area for individual expression. However, despite their escape from cultural confines it seems that humans just can't resist the temptation to live-out their sexual fantasy on the dancefloor
Barn Dancing
The epicentre of barn-dancing is Louisiana where a man may marry his cousin in sure and certain knowledge that she is also his sister. In this sexually-liberated oasis there is still a need for dance, however, for this is the home of the barn-dance. Barn dancing shares some similarities with the Scottish pork-sword dance and the Irish slip-jig but away from the restrictions of the Old World, Barn-dancing has evolved into a social spectacle unique in the world.
Due to the year-long clement climate, Barn-dances may happen at any time but always involve a select group of men, generally farm-workers, congregating within a barn on a Sunday evening. Much moonshine is consumed before the "Dance" can begin but, fortified with spirit, partners are finally selected and to the reel of violins and squeal of hogs the dance gets under way. A barn-dance may last anything from three minutes to several hours depending on the vigourousness of the dancers and willingness of the stock.
Since the 1970s successive American governments have tried to abolish this home-spun tradition, citing animal cruelty, bestiality and offences against stringed instruments amongst the reasons. However, barn-dancing has thrived, evolving into line-dancing where young men inhale cocaine through a straw before sexually abusing their beast of choice.
Novelty Dances
In the late Nineteenth and twentieth centuries novelty dances became increasingly popular and this trend shows no sign of diminishing as the twenty-first century gets under way. But what do these modern takes on dance have to teach us about our increasingly sophisticated sex-lives?
The early twentieth century gave us Swing. In the 1940s, with the threat of violent death around every corner, young men and women took to exchanging partners with alacrity. After a quick two-step on the dance-floor many ladies would excuse themselves from their partner and seek out another man less exhausted from physical exertion. Inevitably, after a few minutes of gyration, the second man would be temporarily spent and the lady would once again seek a man capable of keeping up with her physical needs.
It is from Swing that we gained that staple of cheap-skate bordello-wallahs - the hand-jive. This deceptively simple dance could be enjoyed in a variety of positions; standing, seated or, most comfortably, in a prone position. The hand-jive was particualrly popular with male-dancers but many a lady has enjoyed the same experience in the privacy of her own chamber.
Other passing fads have included the banned Cha-Cha-Slide, The Jerk, the Collegiate Shag, and the Peanut-Butter Jelly Roll - oh, yes they have, Wikipedia says so.
Dance crazes come and go as the rhythms of popular music change but, despite this uncertainty, one fact remains constant - man can no more ignore the impulse to dance than he can ignore the need to share his bodily fluids.

2009 Christmas Gadget Countdown - 11. Mobile phones
A mobile phone is something of a necessity these days, but it's still nice to indulge in a little pocket-sized gadgetry. If you want video, music, satellite navigation, or just plain email and web browsing there's a mobile out there for you.
Top of the Christmas tree again this year has to be the Apple iPhone 3GS. However, there are some serious contenders in the touch-screen phone arena now. The new Palm Pre is attracting a huge following, and boasts a neat slide-out keyboard and multi-tasking unlike the iPhone. Google fans have a plethora of Android OS phones to choose from, the Teflon-coated (no finger marks!) HTC Hero being one of the most popular.
The big guns have brought out some real crowd-pleasers this year, Nokia with the E55 and E71, and BlackBerry's new Storm and Bold models. Honourable mention goes to the new breed of convergence devices such as the Samsung i8510 with it's impressive 8-megapixel camera – or should I say 8MP camera with built-in smartphone? Missing from this year's chart topping phones is a decent Windows Mobile smartphone, with Microsoft still very much in the second division when it comes to this type of device.
Windows Mobile
The HTC HD2 is reported as being a real contender to the iPhone, so Windows Mobile isn't completely out of the picture. I've had mine for a week or so & it compares favourably in my opinion.
Top of the Tree
I would say that my HTC HD2 was the top of the tree. It's huge screen, light weight, and windows compatability helps. The enormous amount of freeware helps.
Yet you don't even mention it. YOu go so far as to say a decent windows smartphone is missing.
Why is the iPhone better than the Nokia N95?

As I was cooking breakfast in my central city shoebox last Saturday morning, I received a phone call from a Mt Eden resident distraught over the hubbub next door to her home.
Workers were preparing Sir Edmund Hillary's maternal grandmother's house for transport to Warkworth. The 1908 villa was recently purchased for $2.62 million by a developer who plans to build three brand-new units on the site.
The developer isn't breaking any rules. He hasn't broken any laws.
But neighbours can't seem to wrap their heads around how a home with such significance can be carted away without an appeal or public input.
After I wrote the story, at least one reader questioned whether a 100-year-old home should even be considered historic.
From a bird's-eye view, a 100-year-old house wouldn't appear to be old, but from a bird's-eye view, New Zealand isn't very old.
The Treaty of Waitangi was signed in 1840, and if aliens from outer space landed in Napier, they'd think humans didn't settle there until 1931.
During my travels around the world, it's been fascinating to note what communities consider historic and where they spend money to protect it.
In El Salvador, ammunition shells and de-commissioned machine guns decorate children's playgrounds as a reminder of the civil war that plagued the 1980s.
Sometimes history isn't necessarily old. Sometimes it isn't necessarily pleasant.
So how does New Zealand plan to preserve its history and with whose money?
Heritage protection policies
There is no national policy statement for heritage in New Zealand. These statements, under the Resource Management Act, are used to help local governments decide how competing national benefits and local costs should be balanced.
There are national policy statements for freshwater management, for example, and there has been work done on a nationwide policy for urban design.
The country has also never conducted a street-by-street assessment to identify historic places. Instead, places are nominated by the public to be included on the national register, which is run by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust.
Buildings on the national register do not have legislative protection, only recognition. They must be on a district plan to be afforded protection, says Dr Ann McEwan, a Waikato historian who has served on Auckland's heritage advisory panel.
"A lot of people still today think that somehow because a building is on the register of historic places that it has protection. That either winds people up because they think 'you can't register my building' or gives people a false sense that a building is protected," Ms McEwan says.
Building protection happens through the Resources Management Act (RMA), not the Historic Places Act.
"Even if it's on a district plan and you want to demolish a building, the cynic's view is you could throw enough money at the process and you'll get what you want," Ms McEwan says.
Unlike central governments in Europe and North America, which offer legislative protection to heritage sites, New Zealand's central government only runs a register to recognize the sites.
In 2003, section 6 of the RMA was changed so the management of historic heritage was made a matter of national importance. So as regions around the country embark on the second generations of their district plans, in theory, they should be considering some heritage areas as areas of national importance.
"If your rule for demolition of a heritage building is discretionary, chances are the owner will probably be able to make the case they should be able to be given that discretion," Ms McEwan says.
Without a national policy statement, there is no guidance from the central government to regional and local councils about how to interpret the act, she says.
"If you have a law that says it is of national importance, well what does that mean? Does that mean we all wear bow ties on Tuesday? What does it mean?" Ms McEwan says.
Show me the money
Let's say, for argument's sake, that New Zealanders can largely agree on which sites and buildings should be awarded heritage protection. (I say for argument's sake because many people can't even agree on a national flag at the moment.)
If heritage was given more statutory protection, the next logical question is who would pay for it.
Developers would claim it's not financially feasible to upgrade and retrofit a historic building. It's not financially feasible to keep one building on a site, when you could knock it down and put three up.
In my homeland of California local governments have designed a redevelopment scheme. When builders decided to build in new areas with no existing infrastructure, called green fields, they are subject to a redevelopment tax which goes into a fund to help pay for inner city projects involving heritage sites.
This is the same way that bike paths and public transportation are funded through fuel taxes in most of the Western world. It's about those quality of life measures that somehow must find funding or cease to exist.
If aliens from outer space land in Matamata 100 years from now, they are going to be led to believe, based on the preservation of architecture left standing, that hobbits inhabited New Zealand in the early 2000s.
I'll bet you a Canadian penny that a Victorian villa may be extinct, but Bilbo Baggins hobbit hole would look like it was built yesterday.

Professional Statement
Dr. Hakimi, has been practicing family dentistry in San Rafael for over fourteen years. After earning her Doctorate of Medicinal Dentistry from Tufts University in Boston in 1997, she served in the United States Navy. Dr. Hakimi is a member of the American, California, and Marin County Dental Societies, and, as part of her practice, she has provided Marin County's underserved children with dental care for many years.
"My science background has given me the skill to perform the mechanical aspects of dentistry, but I also see much of dentistry as artistic and creative. I am often reconstructing teeth or parts of a patient's smile, and this has to look pleasing to them as much as it needs to be functional and lasting." Getting to know my patients so that I can better tailor my work to suit their needs is a very satisfying aspect of my job. How can I do my best if I don't have some connection, however small, with each of my patients? And at the end of that day, when a patient has recommended a family member or a friend to me, I know that I have really succeeded in meeting both my own expectations and theirs. It's a wonderful feeling." In addition to experiencing great satisfaction in her work, She finds joy in travel and nature.

Verified Patient Reviews
I was with my old dentist for 20 years before I moved to San Rafael. I have been dreading finding a new dds. Dr. Hakimi and her office staff have a wonderful bedside manner and are very professional. So happy that I have found a new dds!!
Very pleasant and informative. Took time with me to explain concerns. Looking forward to the next appointment.
The best dentist experience I have had.
My first trip back to the dentist - in way too long - was unexpectedly fabulous! Dr. Fay, and her assistant Tina, were both wonderfully warm and professional. With smart and non-judgmental attention to my circumstances and concerns, excellent communication about procedures and options, and obvious enjoyment, knowledge and skill in the art - I was quickly put at ease and actually rather enjoyed the experience! While, admittedly, this was only my first visit to Dr. Fay, I am confident I have chosen well and will return for follow-up treatments much relieved of the fear and anxiety that's kept me away for so long. Thanks!
Very happy with this dentist
Wish that I had more data prior to the dentist working on me. No real explanation given as well as what the plan of care was going to look like
Great, as always!
Great visit!
I would like to speak with Dr. Hakimi to discuss my last office visit experience -
My appointment went very smoothly. They had no issues with my insurance or working with ZocDoc. They called and e-mailed to confirm appointment. I arrived early and was immediately taken in. The office atmosphere is calm and professional. The hygienist/receptionist, Tina, was great. Dr. Hakimi did not spend a lot of time with me. However, I was in for a cleaning and had no issues with cavities or my wisdom teeth. Goodie bag at the end was well stocked. There was no guilt over my previous lack of dental visits and overall there was no pressure to get services I did not need as in some practices (whitening, protective treatments, orthodontics, etc.) I would recommend this practice to anyone.
A great Dentist and great staff !
Great! Very calming experience. Loved listening to the Ipod they lent me while they were cleaning my teeth.
Very professional and job was well done. Best I have ever had. Office is very well run with Tina at the helm.
She is a great doctor! She saved my tooth and I did not need a root canal!
Excellent. Does a great job cleaning teeth. Previously had fillings with excellent results. Received night guard this visit. It fits very well. Would highly recommend
Very friendly staff and doc saw me right away. Great!
Great office. The Dr was through,gentle and Attentive. Very kind hygenist, she did an awsome job cleaning my teeth. The atmosphere overall was very pleasant and positive. I'm actually looking forward to my next appointment.
They were very nice - gave me an ipod to listen to during the appointment!
Overall, good. She was a bit rushed. Hygenist was very average, a little rough.

Capital and Alternative Economies Related to Food [2nd Call]
full name / name of organization:
ACLA 2014/ New York University
contact email:
In 1994, Gustavo Esteva drew attention to the concept of "food in context", what he refers to as comida, to underscore the social ties that are created alongside and through food. While international agribusiness corporations consider and look at food as a form of capital, as a commodity to be exploited, bought and sold, food is historically a commons, central to alternative economies, and the creation of deep ties across communities and cultures. Although the time and context may vary, this panel seeks papers that can reflect upon the changing relationships between food and culture and their corresponding environmental, economic, political, and/or social implications.

Hi all! 1600 yards at the pool. Did a bunch of drills and finished with 2x 100 @ fast pace and 2x 200 at easy pace and 300 cool down (in other words, more easy pace). Wound up with a migraine last night which probably explains the crappy run I had yesterday. No headache this a.m. and my swim went really well but I'm exhausted this afternoon. Sometimes the day after a migraine I feel pretty wiped out and that seems to be the case today. Think I'll take a nap soon as the kids are both home from school. They can play video games while mom sleeps.
Speaking of kids, dd will be here any second so no time for personals at the moment. Catch ya all later!
Hi guys and gals!!
I was supposed to do 10 today but I decided to take today off.
After 35 days straight of running or swimming and sometimes both on the same day and a night of insomia
on Sunday, my body is telling me that today is a rest day. The old girl knows better than I do so I am listening
to her.
Having said that I am swimming tomorrow morning at 7:15 and wasn't supposed to run but I will get those
10 in tomorrow. Of course right now it's looking like we don't be going anywhere in the morning because
of the storm. I hope not , I really really want to go swimming.
Pressing, you make me feel like a swimming wimp!LOL Sorry about the migraine, I hear so many people talk
about having them, guess I've been very lucky to have never had one.
Scott, being a huge huge LOTR fan I have to say I totally love that! Very creative!!

Joseph Brown
Mr. Brown was the second St. Louis Mayor who had previously experienced responsibilities as the head of a City government. He, like Mayor Krum, had served as Mayor of Alton, Illinois before becoming Mayor of St. Louis. While Mayor there he led a successful campaign to bring the Chicago and Alton Railroad to that city.
Mr. Brown was identified with the early river traffic of this period. He had a number of large fast steamers, most of which were built under his own direction.
Joseph Brown retired from the river business at the start of the Civil War and came to St. Louis. Here he engaged in real estate operations for many years. He was a strong unionist during the Civil War and assisted in the construction of ironclad ships and gunboats for the United States Navy. In 1868 he was elected to the Missouri State Senate as a War Democrat from St. Louis. In 1871 he was made president of the Missouri Pacific Railroad.
Back to the top
During Joseph Brown's administration a group of citizens backed proposals for new City Parks. In 1874 the Missouri Legislature passed three laws creating Forest Park, O'Fallon, and Carondlet Park. In 1872 the City erected a temporary City Hall on the site of the present Civil Courts Building. Completion of Eads Bridge was celebrated on July 4, 1874. The Taxpayers' League was organized in 1872. Its purpose was 'to aid in securing honesty, economy and efficiency in the administration of municipal affairs and public business'. The League carried on a campaign which led to the separation of the City and County. During the depression of 1873 the City issued $300,00 worth of tax certificates, popularly known as 'Brown Backs', and they were passed as currency throughout the country. To back them, Mayor Brown pledged his own credit as well as that of the City. It was during this panic that he ran a soup house that fed as many as 1200 people at day, at no City expense.

Chemists using Wikipedia
"The online encyclopaedia Wikipedia could become the main source of chemical information in 5–10 years, according to a professional chemist who contributes to the site... a recent study in Nature found that the accuracy of scientific entries in Wikipedia was not far behind those in Encyclopaedia Britannica. This finding is supported by regular contributor Martin Walker, assistant professor of organic chemistry at the State University of New York at Potsdam, US. Many of the chemistry entries are now reasonably accurate, he said, but you have to know where to look. 'A general rule on Wikipedia is that an article that has been heavily edited and around for a long time is usually pretty good,' Walker told Chemistry World, 'if it hasn't, it may be flawed.' The accuracy of Wikipedia's entries will continue to improve as contributors begin to organise themselves and take responsibility for certain subjects, he said. Chemistry content on the site is coordinated through two so-called 'wikiprojects', said Walker: chemistry and chemicals. Entries can still suffer from poor English and deliberate vandalism, but these problems are gradually being resolved and can be pinpointed quickly. 'Try vandalising something like hydrochloric acid and see how long it takes someone to fix it,' said Walker. Many of the Wikipedia contributors are quite young, but Walker estimates that there are around 10 PhD-qualified chemistry contributors, as well as several knowledgeable graduate and undergraduate chemists. More professional chemists should get involved, urged Walker. 'We have come a long way, but there is still a huge amount to be done,' he said. Walker will speak about his Wikipedia involvement at the American Chemical Society national meeting in March. '[Wikipedia] will become for information what Google is for searching,' he predicted. "

A Treasure of Hawaii Passes Away
We are sad to hear of Hawaiian artist and historian Herb Kawainui Kane's death this week. He was a great friend to the National Parks in Hawaii. Whether in the form of artwork on wayside exhibits, brochures, multimedia, or in original artwork, Herb Kane's passion and knowledge of Hawaii and her people will continue to be told through the incredibly rich artwork he has left behind. Herb Kane will be greatly missed. Aloha.
Eileen permalinkApril 27, 2011 1:52 am
To Whom It May Concern:
I live in wi. u.s.a I have 4 oil painting of Herb Kane painted. 1 oil of the fish market that was in a book 32'x24; 1 watercolor and a chalk portrait(of herb when he was young 20.s?) I have some letters he wrote to his 2nd cousin while he was in the Navy. How do I go about getting these appraised or selling these?
Thank you for your time: Eileen
