If you're looking for an easy website building platform, iPage is a great option to consider, as it features everything you need to build both a desktop website and a mobile-friendly site, in addition to hosting and even a domain name.
I've found that many sites, such as GoDaddy are great for intermediate and advanced users, but for someone who is less experienced, setting up a website can quite difficult because you need to purchase each service or feature separately. And if you do run into troubles, getting the help you need to actually build your site can be a rather challenging and time-consuming project.
But I've found that iPage is different.
So in my iPage reviews summary, we'll explore how this site offers a one-stop-shop that's perfect for anyone who needs to build a website with ease.
iPage has Everything in One Place
One of the major benefits of iPage is the one-stop-shop nature of their offerings. While their offerings are primarily targeted to small businesses and e-commerce shops, even a blogger or hobbyist website developer will enjoy iPage.
The Essential Plan has everything you need to get started, including a domain name, hosting, tools to build an e-commerce interface, a blogging and content management system, site building tools, domain-based email integration, and a website malware and virus scanner.
More advanced users will enjoy the script library and the capability to edit your site's HTML.
You can also upgrade to a virtual private server or dedicated hosting plan. These are ideal for sites that grow to a point where they require lots of data storage and a host that can support high traffic volume.
In addition, iPage does accommodate site transfers, making it simple to move your existing site to the iPage interface.
Lots of CMS and Website Builder Solutions
One of the major advantages of iPage is the variety of website platforms and content management systems that they offer. There's something for everyone, from the beginner who prefers a simple point and click website builder to more advanced options for crafting a custom, one-of-a-kind website platform.
With iPage, you can opt for a start-from-scratch website builder such as Dreamweaver or Expressions, or use a content management system like WordPress. More advanced users can even custom tailor their site's HTML.
Support and Help is Readily Available
One of the major things that prompted me to write this iPage reviews summary blog was this site's commitment to providing support in a timely manner.
They offer support 24 hours a day and on average, they answer their phones within two minutes (a far cry from other sites, like GoDaddy and Hostgator, where it can take you two minutes just to find the menu option that allows you to ask for a real human!)
There are also lots of video tutorials available on-site; something that's great for more visual learners who struggle with written instructions which are standard elsewhere.
Free Marketing Gifts
A big standout feature on iPage is just how much support and freebies they give you to get exposure to your site. To start you off they give you Google adwords vouchers, Facebook vouchers, Bing vouchers and a bunch of others that you can use for FREE advertising. As a business starting out this is invaluable as you are virtually being given nearly $500 advertising budget to use if you choose to do so.
An iPage Review of Pricing
iPage pricing is fairly competitive. Site wide, they boast a rate of $1.89 per month for The Essential Plan for the first term. It's implied that the $1.89/mo price is introductory, but it took a bit of searching to find the actual monthly rate.
The precise rate depends on how long you commit to stay with iPage. Monthly, it's $9.49 or $113.88 per year. The pricing is very similar to what you would expect to pay with other web hosting companies – the biggest difference is that iPage do not overcrowd their servers with thousands of other websites hence the performance for your site is terrific.
In all, iPage is a great interface for a small business that needs to set up a new website with ease. You'll enjoy everything you need in one place, with lots of options and features that will enable you to get on the web with ease!
Final thoughts on iPage
If you are a looking for a web hosting company that provides rock solid customer service and reliability with value for money, then iPage will be right for you.

In 2012, the luxury label won control of more than 100 domains such as CHEAPGUCCIONSALE.COM and GUCCISHOPONLINE.ORG.Legal information provider Sweet & Maxwell dealt with nearly 3,000 cases, including Gucci's, in the past year - the highest figure since 2007. Other fashion brands to have contested website names include Swarovski, Burberry and Armani."As online retail becomes more profitable, household name brands are taking the defence of their domain names much more seriously," solicitor John Olsen told the Guardian. "They are doing all that they can to protect their revenue streams. Domain names are the key to the door of online retail."

Charm, Offensive
South Carolina's controversial Mark Sanford is trying to "nice guy" his way to an election victory.
MT. PLEASANT, S.C.–When people recognize Mark Sanford—this happens extraordinarily often in South Carolina—he notices. He notices the contractor waiting in his car, or the woman shopping for lettuce, or the student who looks up from his phone with an oh-it's-that-guy expression. At a tire store in this Charleston suburb, part of the 1st Congressional District that Sanford wants to represent, he makes the circuit of a waiting room, issuing his icebreaker again and again.=
"Can I be rude," he asks, "and say hello?"
When a voter lifts a camera phone to take a photo, Sanford knows, and he spins around to take charge. "If you're going to take a picture," he says, "can I be in it?" If this person is merely a gawker, visiting from Florida or Illinois, Sanford smiles and hands over his business card—"if you have any family in the district, they can call me." If he might know one of Sanford's sons, the candidate whips out his white iPhone and calls his son for an impromptu chat. If the person makes a joke, Sanford bends his knees and guffaws at the funniest thing he's ever heard.
This was how Sanford spent the final weekend of his campaign for Congress, a meet-cute scene repeated ad infinitum across the district. He's done this for nearly five months, and it's gotten easier—instant public affirmation and forgiveness for his trespasses in real time. To win back the congressional seat he held in the 1990s, to be a distinguished gentleman who can once again decry the federal debt and the welfare state, he must single-handedly win over the people who—let's be honest—don't want to elect a Democrat unless they're desperate. So he keeps talking.
"It's a blessing," said Sanford on Saturday, as he walked his home turf in Beaufort, S.C. "I've been to a place in life wherein people didn't want to get pictures of me. It was a very quiet spot. I spent a year on our family farm in northern Beaufort county, which is half an hour up the road—a quite incredibly introspective year."
Beaufort had been taken over in celebration of Candice Glover, an American Idol contestant who'd made it to the final three, thus earning a taped-for-TV parade and concert. Sanford adapted immediately, posing next to a pro-Candice T-Shirt ("The Low Country's Idol") and greeting people with a chipper "Happy Candice Day!" Sanford never appreciated the grip-and-grab-and-grip-some-more side of politics until he'd walked away from it all on the "Appalachian Trail."
"If you've been in politics," he said, "you have people who want to take their picture with you, but it was very different. I love people, I've always loved people, but it was the kind of thing you had to do." But now: "I was at a thing with my boys. We were trying to get into a football game. It was one of those things where it was incredibly elongated by people who wanted to take pictures." Sanford grins at the memory of his bored, irritated kids. "I said guys, you don't get it. This is an incredible blessing."
Many voters here—most of them, possibly—are in the mood to bless him. Mitt Romney won this district by 18 points, but that might even undersell how Republican it is because African-Americans who voted for Barack Obama are harder to turn out in any special election.
Elizabeth Colbert Busch, inevitably referred to in national news as "the sister of TV comedian Stephen Colbert," is a business development guru who'd once donated to Sanford. If you're ashamed of Sanford, she's your tolerable alternative. Her radio ad played incessantly on conservative talk radio chides Sanford for voting against dredging the port of Charleston because… well, you know.
Mark Sanford had a better use for our tax dollars. He used taxpayer money to be with his mistress in Argentina.
Colbert Busch said this to Sanford's face, almost—in their sole debate she reminded everyone that his Argentina trip was "personal." Nobody else will get in his face about it, not even after his ex-wife Jenny filed a trespassing complaint against him, not even after voters learned Sanford would have to be in court two days after the election. When an NBC producer asked him about this, Sanford walked from female voter to female voter to "try to find a woman who doesn't like me." When I caught up to him in Beaufort, he was still bristling.
"The NBC gal who was with us earlier," he said, "she—"
Sanford was cut short, because a real-life female voter was interrupting him, asking for a photo. For three minutes I waited as Sanford posed and small-talked and posed some more. Eleven different groups of people, mostly women, took home Sanford snapshots. The only dissonance came from a woman who quickly ruined the picture by making "bunny ears" over Sanford's head and sprinting away.

Obama not the first Pres.-elect to take train through Baltimore
Barack Obama has never been one to shy away from Lincoln symbolism in his presidential run (for example, making his campaign announcement on the steps of the old state house in Springfield, where the 16th president served). Like Lincoln, Obama plans to arrive in Washington by train. (Lincoln rode the rails all the way from Illinois; Obama's just picking up a train out of Philly.) But he's looking for a somewhat more triumphant stop in Baltimore than Lincoln got in 1861.
The Illinois Republican's election precipitated major secessionist uprisings throughout the south; six states seceeded before inauguration day, but border states, including in Maryland, stayed in the Union. But Baltimore was still a hotbed of anti-Lincoln sentiment, and the president-elect's chief of security, Allan Pinkerton, went to extraordinary lenghts to get him through the city safely. There's some dispute among historians about whether the plot to kill Lincoln in Baltimore was real, but Pinkerton evidently thought so. Lincoln's security forces cut telegraph lines between Baltimore and Pennsylvania to cut off communications among potential conspirators, and the president-elect left Harrisburg on a secret night train. To avoid running afoul of a city law prohibiting the running of trains through downtown at night, Lincoln's cars were drawn through by horses.
When crowds gathered to greet Lincoln's train the next day, they discovered he was already gone.

And, of course, it just wouldn't be April without a few snowstorms and our updated list of dos and don'ts for volunteers.
First, some of the dos...the characteristics we like to see in community volunteers.
Volun-steering: Being the person who makes sure volunteers have reliable transportation to and from their work places. This is especially important for very young volunteers who might be capable and enthusiastic, but are either too young to drive or lack reliable access to a vehicle. Your help can ensure that those young people feel the rewards of volunteering, and grow up to be enthusiastic adult volunteers.
Volun-rearing: As parents and as adult role models, setting a strong example of community volunteering for the children who look up to you.
Vacuum-teering: Even the most enthusiastic volunteers can grow weary at cleanup time; still it's important to leave a volunteer work place at least as nice as you found it; preferably nicer.
Fallon-teering: Good humor goes a long way in making volunteer activities fun and memorable. Even those who provide bad humor deserve a pat on the back for trying.
Far-flung-teering: Volunteering can take you places you've never been. Unfamiliar assignments might seem scary, but the benefits of conquering those fears and mastering new skills are enormous.
Volun-training: Finding and encouraging good candidates for the abovementioned far-flung-teering, and providing what they need to develop their new abilities.
Volun-testing: If you've ever seriously pondered, "I wonder what it would be like to work at...," you can probably find a volunteer activity that places you close to people who are doing what you're pondering, without the expense of specialized training or the risk of giving up your day job.
Volun-trailing: New volunteers often need an extra "push" to feel wanted and appreciated. Letting the newbie know that you're impressed, and that you've "got their back" if they run into trouble, can help turn a one-time volunteer into a regular.
And, some of the don'ts...characteristics that volunteers should watch out for, and avoid if at all possible:
Volun-timing: Beware of the volunteer who tries to impress you with how many hours he or she has donated to the cause. Enthusiasm for the mission, and for what has been accomplished, is a far better indicator of a valuable volunteer.
Volun-topping: Beware of the volunteer who always claims to be one or two steps better (or faster, or more dedicated) than others. In most volunteer endeavors, it's a team effort, not a contest.
Velcro-teering: Sticking to a volunteer activity that is clearly not a good fit. It happens, and when it does, it's important to move on in a polite, professional manner. Sticking around in such a situation, however noble it might appear, often does more harm than good.
Felon-teering: The dangerous situation in which volunteers decide their contributions are so enormous that the rules that apply to others don't apply to them. It can be as minor as "cutting corners," or it can lead to something as major as embezzlement. If you don't like the rules, try to get them changed, openly and respectfully. If that fails, see "velcro-teering" above.
Fallen-teering: Allowing a single bad experience to turn you off to volunteering. Opportunities are so numerous and varied that a good volunteer experience is there for the taking. A bad experience is almost always a learning experience. Taking that new knowledge to a new opportunity will help ensure a better outcome.
Volun-veering: Pursuing one's personal agenda to the extent that it threatens to throw a volunteer activity off course.
Volun-fearing: Giving in to the jitters that accompany any new experience. Give that volunteer opportunity a try, and if it doesn't work out, try something else. Soon enough, you'll be fearlessly moving on to bigger and better assignments (see Far-flung-teering above).
And finally, our wish for you: Happy, healthy, productive volunteering that makes the world a better place.

This park could use a severe grass cut. The sites are decent size. Mine had the table and fire pit behind the RV rather than the side. There was little to no room along the sides of the RV and the campers next to me decided they needed the space for their tent and hammock. The vegetation is so thick so everything stayed damp. None to little sun could get through the trees, vines, moss, etc. The sewer hookup is elevated at a sharp angle and I did not leave the valves open for constant flow. I did not have a lake side site and had no access to the lake as a result. The park is convenient for day trips to Mt. Saint Helens and Mt. Rainier. Closest shopping is about 35 minutes away. My first Washington State Park experience - I was not impressed and would not stay here again. - obxblond

This state park provides large sites, especially the lower section off the lake. Many sites have a great view of the lake or easy access. Our site was heavily covered by trees and included a picnic table and fire-pit. We were not able to get any DirecTV satellite signal. Verizon signal was very weak. Surprisingly, our site was level. We utilized this campground to sightsee some locations in southern Washington. Freeway access and grocery shops are about 30 minutes away. Rangers were friendly and helpful. - HappyCampers227
Apr 2014 - $34.00
I love this place. While it has been some time since we were last year, we keep coming back. Our stay was over the Easter weekend. The one loop that was open had only water and electric hookups, no sewer. There is one "dry camp" loop with great lake access, and the "trailer loop" with full hookups has great lake access too. This park is showing its age. The sewer hookups are the old style with a above ground 90 degree opening. Electric is only 30 amp. Trees have grown and what once was an easily accessible site is not anymore. Be very careful if you intend on bringing in an RV that is 30 or more feet in length. When hooked up my rig is a total of 45 feet in length. Took some work, but I managed to make it into one of only two spots that the park said would take my rig. The other site would not have let me open my bump out. Still, I'll be back. Book reservations a long time in advance during the summer. - mrhddh

Nice park , I would assume it would be very nice in summer, not crowded at our stay. Nice playground for kids, nice store and marina area. Very scenic, Sites where gravel fairly level. Many sites are close together, we had a pull thru with FHU. - KLH
Aug 2012 - $38.00
Great Place: if you like a resort. This one is focused on the lake and is very family orientated. It is very attractive to non campers as it has a good restaurant as well as a store and is a popular day use area. There is even a dance on Saturday nights during the summer in an open air dance hall. The dance ends at 10pm which is the start of quiet time. Unfortunately it is not a very quiet park on a busy weekend when the weather is nice, lots of parties in the park as well as on neighboring properties. Large rigs may have some difficulty getting into some sites. The sites are not level, bring extra materials to level the rig. I had elevate the front axle over 6 to 8 inches. We will use this park again. - Joe Robel

Stayed here as RPI Member. Nice looking campground with lots of boat docks. Pros Very nice children's playground, nice grass areas at the sites Cons No TV reception, No Wi-Fi, and reason for not rating higher - sites was very unlevel. - Mitchelmal

Beautiful, well-maintained park owned by the power company operating the dam. Staff friendly and accommodating. Stayed mid-week for two nights. Excellent swimming beach that gets raked every day. Nice store/cafe open during busy season. Stayed in a pull-through spot near the swimming hole with kids. This is one of the best equipped campgrounds anywhere. Big lawns for play, paved biking paths, BMX path (not paved), boat launch with two long docks for loading/unloading. The addition of sewer hookups and Wi-Fi would earn a perfect score. - vtofa
Jun 2013 - $35.00
We stayed in one of the waterfront RV sites. No sewer hookup but nice dump station. The sites are nicely spaced apart - felt mostly private. The road down to the water has some very sharp corners that would be difficult to maneuver with a larger trailer. We only had a 19 ft and it was still tight. Only toilets near the waterfront sites. No showers so if you were tent camping it would be a hike to the showers. - KTB342
Jun 2013 - $32.00
I last reviewed this park in June 2011. Same great park now as it was then. Park staff at the front gate are especially friendly and helpful. I also note that they patrol the area frequently. The camp is well maintained and the lawns are immaculate. We'll be back...in Sept. - mrhddh

Fiddly - but well worth the effort - Gainn - 12/11/2013
I'd heard this was a bit tricky to set up and while this may be true, but the effort is more than worth it. The vape you can get from this with a good set up is spot on and for the money nothing I've tried comes close. It looks great, everything fits together well and feels solid. Vapour production on the set up I put in (micro coil and cotton) was good and the flavour was excellent once I had the air control ring set right. pop one of these on the VT Vengeance and you have a very nice looking and performing combo for a very good price. Overall very pleased with it and as always from VT the delivery was fast.

This view shows enzymes only for those organisms listed below, in the list of taxa known to possess the pathway. If an enzyme name is shown in bold, there is experimental evidence for this enzymatic activity.
|Biosynthesis → Carbohydrates Biosynthesis → Alkanes Biosynthesis
Some taxa known to possess this pathway include : Botryococcus braunii BOT88-2, Pisum sativum
Expected Taxonomic Range: Fungi, Viridiplantae
General Background
Organisms produce hydrocarbons of different types by different mechanisms. Several mechanisms have been described for the production of hydrocarbons from fatty acids or their intermediates, including synthesis of alkanes from fatty aldehydes by decarbonylation (see alkane biosynthesis I and alkane biosynthesis II), synthesis of long-chain olefins by head-to head condensation of fatty acids (see for example hentriaconta-3,6,9,12,15,19,22,25,28-nonaene biosynthesis), and production of alkenes from fatty acids by decarboxylation (see terminal olefins biosynthesis I and terminal olefins biosynthesis II).
Botryococcus braunii, a green colonial microalga, is regarded as a potential source of biofuel because of its ability to produce large amounts of hydrocarbons. Depending on the strain and growth conditions, up to 75% of algal dry mass can be hydrocarbons. Different strains of Botryococcus braunii produce different hydrocarbons. Three races have been documented: Botryococcus braunii BOT88-2 (A race) produces odd numbered (C25 to C31) n-alkadienes and trienes, Botryococcus braunii BOT22 (B race) produces triterpenoid hydrocarbons known as botryococcenes (CnH2n-10, n = 30-37) of isoprenoid origin [Chisti80], and the L race produces lycopadiene, a C40 tetraterpene [Metzger90].
About This Pathway
Alkanes are produced in multiple organisms - for example, in the production of plant cuticular waxes [Samuels08], as insect pheromones [Reed94, Tillman99], in green algae [Dennis91, Metzger05], in fungi [Strobel08] and in bacteria [Oro67, Bagaeva04], especially cyanobacteria, which produce mostly pentadecane and heptadecane [Winters69, McInnes80, Dembitsky02].
The alkanes are typically produced from long-chain and very-long chain (20-34) fatty acids that are produced from the "standard" C16 and C18 fatty acids by specialized fatty acid synthases, known as elongases (see very long chain fatty acid biosynthesis I). These fatty acids are converted to alkanes in three steps - activation of the fatty acid by an acyl-carrier-protein or coenzyme A, reduction of the activated fatty acid to an aldehyde, and decarbonylation of the aldehyde, resulting in an alkane that is one carbon short of the original fatty acid [Cheesbrough88, Dennis92, Kunst03]. Since most fatty acids have an even number of carbons (fatty acids are synthesized by the addition of two carbon units), the resulting alkanes have an odd number of carbons.
Botryococcus braunii BOT88-2 produces alkanes when grown anaerobically. The pathway leading to alkane production begins with fatty acids that are activated to a CoA derivative and reduced to aldehydes by an NADH-dependent acyl-CoA reductase (NADH) [Dennis91, Wang95]. The aldehydes are decarbonylated into alkanes by an aldehyde decarbonylase, a cobalt-depndent, integral membrane protein [Dennis92].

- Awesome ! Review by Christo
This is a huge tool. Only a well-worn urethra is going to take it. The ribs are so deep ! Ah well, better get started.

- Quality Review by Robert
I can't wait until I master this new sound. On its own it is a beautifully crafted work of art. In my mind it holds the promise of many pleasurable evenings.

- Great product Review by Guest
This sound is awesome but will require a lot of relaxing and lube before you can really gain some pleasure from it. I received it a week ago and still working on the first few mm of penetration but the feeling is immense when you do get it inside your penis. As always, great product and fantastic service from the team at The Chain Gang

- Extreme! Review by PocketPool
I've received this tool, and it is very well made. For right now it is more an aspirational tool rather than something I'll be able to actually use in the near future. A goal of where I want to go, so to speak. The design looks like the ultimate in producing that combination of pleasure and pain that a lot of us are looking for. Any one that has gone beyond smooth sounds knows how great bumps and ridges feel going in and out. Just looking at the Striker makes me dream about how good it will feel when I can finally take it myself.

What can I do to stop my 3 and a half year old only child from whining all the time
My son usually has very good manners, but lately almost everytime he asks a question, he is using a whining voice (even though he often remembers to say please). When the answer is no, he begins to "bargain" and says things like "think about if I can have a piece of candy" or he will say "if I ____, then can we _____?" Unfortunately, I know that my sister-in-law and I began modeling this behavior to him when he was younger. When he didnt take no for an answer, I would say, "I'll think about it" and he would usually quiet down and then forget about his request all together. It was effective at the time, but now he has "flipped" it on me and uses it on me and continues to nag me. Please help. I dont want my child to be spoiled and respect that No means no. Is it too late to change this behavior?

He needs to know that this is a no bargaining situation. Kids are manipulative and they learn how to push your buttons very quickly. Your son has figured out that trying to bargain with you, like he used to when he was younger, gets him stuff he wants. Keep saying no to him and he'll eventually understand. He's not nagging, he's testing his limits and yours! Also, watch your body language. Appear and sound confident, and matter-of-fact. If he throws a tantrum afterward, ignore him. He'll come around. The only way you can really spoil him here is by giving in. And no, its not too late!posted 01/20/2013 by deetee28

Why am I gaining so much weight already?
I am 7 weeks pregnant with our second child, and I feel huge. I dont know that I've put on a lot of actual weight, but my stomach looks big. Is this normal with a second pregnancy or should I be worried I'm going to gain a lot this time around? Eating habbits are normal, but eating more fruits and veggies due to all day nausua....any input would be great!

Well I thinks its normal to gain weight quicker with a second or third child. Im 13 weeks and this is my 3rd and this is the quickest Ive ever started showing. Ive got a pretty noticeable belly now. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy! :)posted 04/13/2011 by mstulii101
Each baby is different, so don't stress yourself out by trying to compare this pregnancy to your last. Most of your weight gain could just be water retention, especially if it is localized around your abdomen. There are a lot of hormonal shifts going on in you right now! Your body knows what it's doing. Try and relax and focus on growing that great baby you've got in there!posted 04/13/2011 by J1120

A New Dimension of Filmmaking
How tragedy on the set of the 1983 feature-length adaptation of The Twilight Zone changed the way movies are made.
Thirty years ago this week, a Hollywood star was decapitated while shooting a scene for a movie. The actor was Vic Morrow, the veteran star of the TV series Combat. He was killed, along with child actors Renee Chen and Myca Dinh Le, by a falling helicopter during filming of The Twilight Zone, a feature-length adaptation of Rod Serling's television series.
Morrow played a bigot who skipped through time getting a taste of his own medicine. In the scene that would prove fatal, he was earning some Serling-style redemption by trying to rescue a pair of Vietnamese children from an American air raid. Mainly, the setup was an excuse for director John Landis to capture immense explosions on film.
At the controls of the helicopter that was "bombing" the village was Dorcey Wingo, an actual Vietnam veteran. Wingo was new to the movie business, so even when the rehearsal explosions that buffeted his chopper scared him witless, he swallowed his concerns, especially as Landis, who had a reputation for being dictatorial on set, screamed expletives into the California night. (The shooting was taking place at a disused motorcycle track at Indian Dunes Park, a few miles north of Los Angeles.)
When the cameras rolled, pyrotechnic fireballs engulfed Wingo's helicopter, forcing him down into a river where the actors waded. As a hundred or so people looked on, the right skid of the aircraft crushed 6-year-old Renee, who was a few feet from Morrow (the aging star had dropped her). The helicopter then toppled over, and its main blade sliced through Morrow and 7-year-old Myca. According to Stephen Farber and Marc Green's exhaustive book on the incident, Outrageous Conduct, there was shocked silence until Renee's mother started shrieking as she kneeled over her daughter's lifeless body. Morrow never got to deliver his scripted line: "I'll keep you safe, kids. I promise. Nothing will hurt you, I swear to God."
Civil suits against the studio and Landis were settled, but Warner Bros., Landis, Wingo, and three others couldn't avoid criminal charges of involuntary manslaughter stemming from the tragedy. The defendants freely admitted that the production broke child labor laws, but they maintained that the crash was an unavoidable accident. After three years of legal wrangling, the suit finally went to trial in L.A. in 1985. Despite an emotional bit of prosecution by Deputy District Attorney Lee D'Agostino—she theatrically offered Landis tissues after he teared up during his testimony, hissed "murderer" at him in full view of reporters when he happened to walk past outside the courtroom, and summed up her case by booming, "It isn't that John Landis decided to violate the law, it's that he thinks he's above it!"—she failed to win a conviction. Landis and his co-defendants were acquitted of serious charges, and the director went on to make Coming to America, a hit that put the tragedy in his rearview mirror.
Terrible as the Twilight Zone accident was, some good did come of it. At Warner Bros., a behind-the-scenes revolution was set in motion, as a vice president named John Silvia was determined to tighten up the industry's approach to safety. Silvia convened a committee that created standards for every aspect of filmmaking, from gunfire to fixed-wing aircraft to smoke and pyrotechnics. All the unions and guilds in the business were represented. "It was like lawmaking," says Chris Palmer, a risk-management consultant who was part of the committee. "The committee had to parse words like 'would, shall, and must' because of the possibility of negligence lawsuits overtaking Hollywood if they were too strict in the wording." The committee's codicils were collected into a group of standards called Safety Bulletins. The studios then issued a manual to their employees based on the bulletins, known as the Injury and Illness Prevention Program. (The guidelines have been updated over the years and are now digitized—the current versions can be found here.)
It wasn't an overnight process, and the standards needed continual updates—despite increased efforts to improve safely, accidents kept happening. Veteran pilot Art Scholl was killed when his camera plane crashed during the filming of Top Gun; stuntman Reid Rendell was killed in a helicopter crash on the set of Airwolf; actors Brandon Lee (Bruce's son) and Jon-Erik Hexum (star of the NBC series Voyagers!) were killed by guns loaded with blanks.

Use of Minoxidil Topical Solution in the Treatment of Alopecia Areata in Patients Under 18 Years of Age
Though the use of minoxidil rogaine topical solution (MTS) in the treatment of alopecia areata (AA) in patients under 18 years of age has been a common practice amongst physicians for several years, the prevalence of use in this population has not been well established.
The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of use of rogaine in treating Alopecia Areata patients under the age of 18 years.
This survey of clinicians was conducted with a written questionnaire and supported by face-to-face interviews with respondents who claimed to have prescribed Rogaine Minoxidil Topical Solution for the treatment of Alopecia Areata in patients less than 18 years of age.
Data from a total of 18 clinicians who treated 173 patients with Alopecia Areata between the ages of 1 and 17 years were collected and analyzed. Forty-eight percent were 1 to 10 years of age and 52% were 11 to 17 years of age at initiation of treatment. The mean duration of Rogaine Minoxidil Topical Solution treatment was 22.9 and 20.6 months, in males and females, respectively.
The majority of patients (over 90%) were being treated with other medications in combination with Rogaine Minoxidil Topical Solution. Some patients (20% of the males, 18% of the females, and 19% overall) showed complete hair regrowth in the treated scalp areas. A few patients showed no change in their hair loss (15% overall) or a worsening of their hair loss (4% overall).
Fifty-six percent of males and 58% of females are currently still undergoing treatment with Rogaine Minoxidil Topical Solution. Thirteen percent of patients treated with Rogaine Minoxidil Topical Solution alone reported an adverse reaction (itching). Very few patients (1% overall) were discontinued from treatment due to an adverse reaction.
The results of this survey show that there is a population of male and female patients under 18 years of age who are being treated off-label with Minoxidil Topical Solution. The results further suggest that Rogaine Minoxidil Topical Solution use in this population of patients has been effective, safe, and well-tolerated.

The weather conditions were near perfect for Saturday afternoon games at Madison. Columbus East split a pair, beating Madison 12-0 in five innings and falling to Floyd Central 13-10.
East got on the scoreboard first against the Highlanders when junior William Anderson hit a two-run double in the first inning to make it 2-0. For the next couple of innings, however, it was all Floyd Central.
The Highlanders started connecting against senior Peyton Gray, who gave up five hits and five runs and was pulled from the mound after 1-1/3 innings pitched. It left Olympians coach Jon Gratz in a state of confusion.
"Honestly, I don't what happened to Peyton today," Gratz said. "You do have to credit Floyd Central, though, as they are an outstanding team. They have been one of the best hitting teams in the state the last two years. They also capitalized on our mistakes we made, as well."
"I have a feeling (Gray's) arm was just tired after that first inning and only going on three days' rest, so I don't think he was 100 percent out there," catcher Christian Wichman said.
Those critical mistakes Gratz was talking about happened in the third inning when East made two errors early that allowed a couple more run to score. With runners on first and third, Floyd Central's Trey Fulton smacked a three-run homer to center field to give the Highlanders a 10-2 lead after three innings.
In the fifth inning, the Olympians started showing signs of life. After scoring three runs on a couple of walks and a fielding error by Floyd Central, the bases were loaded for sophomore Takahiro Yamada. Yamada was hit by the pitch for the second time in the game to force in another run. Yamada was also hit by pitch on his left elbow in the second inning.
Anderson came up to the plate and hit a two-run single bring East within 11-10 after five innings.
"We got real patient at the plate, and it led to us getting good pitches to hit," Gratz said.
Floyd Central would seal the deal, though, in the seventh inning when it scored an additional two runs.
"I was proud that these never gave up in the game after being so far behind early," Gratz said. "They could have just rolled over but they were fighting the whole way and made it a great game."
Cam Curry threw a one-hit shutout and smacked a two-run homer in the opening win against Madison. Wichman and Sam Claycamp also homered for East.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Millions of U.S. drivers are expected to hit the highways this holiday weekend -- and some of them may be nodding off behind the wheel.
According to a new government survey, about 1 in 25 adults say they recently fell asleep while driving.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released its latest drowsy driving report on Thursday, along with some tips on how to stay awake. They include getting enough sleep the night before and breaking up the drive with naps, coffee breaks and a change if drivers. Also avoid driving late at night or very early in the morning.

Got married in a church, but got engaged on a sail boat during a regatta with my proposal lettered onto the sail, a spinnaker. I worked foredeck (in front of the mast) and my wife was in charge of trimming head sails (jib, genoa, spinnaker). All the crew and many of the spectator boats knew it was coming, but my wife to be had no idea. We put the sail with the proposal on it up, and she was so intent on flying the sail correctly, that she never read it. When she finally did, she fell down on the deck. We went into the marina with the sail flying. The boat owner and crew even turned the sail around so that it could be read as we headed in. Originally we had it flying so that only the people on the boat could see the sail. Do not have any pictures of it to post on this computer.

A good friend of mine had his wedding on a chartered tour boat, it was really cool and unusual. I've got a wedding in a park this coming Saturday, so that's a little different. Myself, I had a plain church and reception hall wedding, but it was a great time. We did get engaged at the Crayola factory though...
Mt wife's dad has a big house on the water. We had every thing right in the back yard over looking the ocean. We had the band and dance floor and bar at he back of the house. All the tables were set along the water. The caterer used the kitchen of the house to prepare the food. We got permittion to use a parking lot down the road for parking and had shuttle busses take people to the cars, or hotel rooms. It was a nice set up.

We expose slave masters and people smugglers in suburban Britain.
Is there more to life than money?
10 Oct 2011 22:49 GMT | Politics, Africa, Botswana, Cape Verde, Central African Republic
Former Cape Verde president Pedro Verona Pires won the $5m Mo Ibrahim award for African leadership for shepherding his tiny Atlantic Ocean island state from an autocracy to a prosperous democracy.
"Throughout his long career, President Pires has been dedicated to the service of his people, including those in the diaspora, while retaining his humility and personal dignity," the award committee said in a statement on Monday.
Organisers of the world's biggest individual prize, established in 2006 by Sudanese telecoms tycoon Mo Ibrahim to improve the quality of African governments, also praised Pires for his decision this year not to run for office again after the expiry of his second term.
"[Pires]is a wonderful man," Mo Ibrahim, the chair of the Mo Ibrahim Foundation, told Al Jazeera.
"He participated in the liberation struggle for his country. It got its independence, and he was in government. He was prime minister. What [his government] did was introduce multi-party democracy. It didn't say 'we are the liberation movement, we own the country' as many movements unfortunately do in Africa."
Pires also "managed to take the country out of poverty," Ibrahim said.
"Cape Verde is the second African country to be taken off the list of the least developed countries by the UN. This is a country with no natural resources, no oil, no diamonds, nothing. This is a small country that has demonstrated without natural resources, but with good governance, they can really move the country forward."
First winner since 2008
Pires, 77, who led the island nation off Africa's northwest coast for a decade until last month, is the first winner since 2008 of the world's biggest individual prize - because no suitable candidate could be found for the past two years.
Speaking from his home in the Cape Verdean capital Praia, Pires told the Reuters news agency: "I accept this award for the 50 years of struggle for independence, democracy and development in Cape Verde, but also for the affirmation of the African and Africa."
"The prize committee has been greatly impressed by president Pedro Pires's vision in transforming Cape Verde into a model of democracy, stability and increased prosperity," committee chairman Salim Ahmed Salim, Tanzania's former prime minister, told a press conference at London City Hall.
The Ibrahim Prize for Achievement in African Leadership carries a $5m prize paid over 10 years and $200,000 annually for life from then on, with a further $200,000 per year available for 10 years for good causes backed by the winner.
The inaugural prize went to former president Joaquim Chissano of Mozambique in 2007 and Botswana's ex-president Festus Mogae won in 2008.
The prize goes to a democratically-elected African leader who has served their mandated term and left office in the last three years.
Good governance indicator
The London-based Mo Ibrahim Foundation also publishes an Ibrahim Index, ranking 53 African countries according to 86 indicators grouped under safety and the rule of law, participation and human rights, sustainable economic opportunity and human development.
Cape Verde, which has a population of 500,000, fared well in the "Ibrahim Index" of African governance released alongside the leadership award, moving up two places to second in the 2011 Index.
The five best-ranked countries were Mauritius, Cape Verde, Botswana, Seychelles and South Africa, while the bottom five were Somalia, Chad, Zimbabwe, Democratic Republic of Congo and Central African Republic.
Significant gainers were Liberia and Sierra Leone, climbing to 36th and 30th spots respectively as both West African states continued to distance themselves from civil wars that ended less than a decade ago.
The biggest loser was in the Indian Ocean island of Madagascar, which slipped to 33rd, reflecting the political and economic upheaval that has persisted since a 2009 coup.
Africa's two areas of poorest progress were "Safety and the rule of law" and "Participation and human rights".

Rude? No, just being French.
I took my first RS tour some years ago. I was so pleased that I booked another RS tour within 48hr after getting back home. I've had the good fortune to travel with a RS guide named Patrick Vidal while traveling in France. Since I was the only single on the trip, and Patrick was also alone, we had some very nice conversations. I asked him about the idea that the French were rude. As in,"French waiters". He answered that the French weren't rude, they were just French. The wait staff in France are reluctant to "hover" over your table, for fear that you might feel rushed. Americans, who are used to having a waitress ask how the meal is every five minutes, call the French waiter aloof or rude. Also the French are reluctant to speak English poorly. If you enter a shop and make the attempt to say Bonjour in your best Pepe LaPew accent the shop owner will cringe at your pathetic language skills, and be more likely to accommodate you with their own pathetic accent. Communication is easier than you might think. Say "Je voudrais" (I would like) and point to the baguette. Lighten up and take a chance. Au revoir mon ami.

Saturday event to remember the missing
Rally at Capitol seeks to raise awareness
Wednesday, June 12, 2013
Trying to find missing loved ones is a difficult task, but families bearing that burden will hold a rally Saturday on the south lawn of the Capitol.
The annual Missouri Missing and Unidentified Person's Awareness Day will be held from 3-5 p.m.
"We have always had good speakers, including Shawn Horbeck's parents, a couple years ago," said Marianne Asher-Champman, who helped get the first awareness day organized in 2008. "This year we have published author, Donald Ross, father of missing Jesse Ross, and Maureen Reintjes with NamUs along with Stephanie Coplen from Media for the Missing. We expect families with missing people from all over Missouri, and other states to attend."
Asher-Chapman's daughter, Angie Yarnell, went missing on Oct. 25, 2003.
"When Angie went missing, I recall how there was nothing out there to help or support me," she said. "There is a sort of frantic desperation when you can't find your child or any missing loved one. So, I did not want others to have to go through this thing without some source of hope. We are here to create awareness for these families for their missing person. Through education, the public can see what a nearly silent epidemic this is."
Asher-Chapman pointed out that Missouri was the first in the nation to recognize the unidentified should also be classified as missing, and some other states have followed.
"Last year was the only year, since we started, that we didn't have a ceremony, though we did receive a proclamation from Governor Nixon and he has given us one again this year," she said.
"I expect this rally to be the best ever, especially holding it on a weekend so more people can attend. We have to keep our people's faces out there. We are their voices now. We need to bring them home."
