GIft Boxes With Lift Off Lids
Probably 80% of all the gift boxes we make & supply are standard gift boxes with lift–off lids, whether plain or printed – that means tens of thousands every year.
Click on out gift box photos below to see further examples
What board are Box Office gift boxes made from?
The Box Office gift boxes use board from 800microns to 3000microns (a micron is 1/1000th of a millimetre). The thickness of the board varies depending on the size of & the intended use for the gift box.
The board is either white or black lined, so the inside of the gift box & lid defaults to white or black unless you want a coloured paper lining.
The board is typically between 70–80% recycled materials & of course it is 100% recyclable.
Lots of options inside your gift box
The Box Office can make an insert to fit inside your gift box to hold your product, inserts can be made of card or foam. Or what about a beautiful satin lining - they can even put a die-cut card or foam fitment under the satin or some polystyrene beads to hold your product secure.
Gift boxes can also be lined with plain or printed paper, put in a platform to raise your product. In fact whatever you want in your gift box....The Box Office can arrange it!

Or for very small quantities of gift boxes we can offer you full colour digital printing.

Source: Reshad Jones to sign Monday
And then there were three.
Unsigned Miami Dolphins draft picks, that is.
According to a source, former Georgia safety Reshad Jones, the Dolphins' second of two fifth-round draft picks, will sign his rookie contract on Monday.
Jones has agreed to terms on a four-year deal worth $1.95 million. The deal includes a signing bonus of slightly more than $160,000 and a fourth-year escalator that could significantly boost the value of the deal should Jones meet certain incentives.
Jones, 6 feet 1 and 214 pounds, worked with the second-team safeties during Organized Team Activities. He is expected to battle second-year man Chris Clemons for the starting job at free safety once training camp opens later this month.
A big hitter, Jones made 11 interceptions during his three college seasons, including nine in his final two years for the Bulldogs.
"I had 11 picks basically in two years," Jones, a former prep All-America from Atlanta, told me back at rookie minicamp. "I think I've got great hands. It's a matter of catching the ball with your hands and not your body, going up and getting it at the highest point."
That was something Gibril Wilson obviously never figured out before the Dolphins dumped him after one season. He's the Bengals' problem now.
The agreement with Jones leaves only the Dolphins' top three picks unsigned from their eight-player 2010 draft haul: defensive end Jared Odrick (first round), linebacker Koa Misi (second) and offensive guard John Jerry (third).

In the cannabis marketplace, there are thousands of great products. Our goal is to high-light them all!
If you're buying a piece of glass smokeware, you want it to be both functional and durable. Not everyone has the pocketbook – or the desire – to acquire a piece created by a top artist. Many simply want a weapon of self-reflection that delivers a clean hit and won't shatter if you tap it. We want a trusted companion! However, always stay away from cheap-ass, imported pipes. They're often defective and frequently manufactured using sweatshop labor.
Check out the glassware produced by HVY Glass. They've been producing a variety of quality glass smokeware since 1999 and enjoy a huge fan base as well as scores of rave reviews online. Plus, HVY Glass pipes are made in California using quality German and American glass. And best of all, they're tough enough to take on the clumsiest stoner!

In support of the American Diabetes Association Alert DaySM on Tuesday, March 22, 2011, NDEP is working to raise awareness of the seriousness of diabetes and encouraging people to find out if they are at risk for type 2 diabetes by taking the Diabetes Risk Test. Diabetes Alert Day is a one-day wake-up call to encourage people to find out if they are at risk for type 2 diabetes. Encouraging people to find out about their risk for type 2 diabetes is a critical step in helping them prevent the disease and in promoting early diagnosis and treatment. Find out more about Diabetes Alert Day at www.YourDiabetesInfo.org/AlertDay2011.
Diabetes is a serious disease that affects nearly 26 million adults in the United States. An additional 79 million adults have pre-diabetes, which puts them at high risk for developing type 2 diabetes. Diabetes is called a "silent killer" because 1 out of 4 people with diabetes have the disease, but don't even know it. Join NDEP in sounding the alarm about diabetes and encouraging people to take the Diabetes Risk Test. Need some help getting started? NDEP has many resources to help you promote Diabetes Alert Day in your organization or community:
It is especially important for people with diabetes—and those at risk for the disease—to make healthy food choices, such as eating a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables, lean meats, and whole grains. Such eating habits are an important part of maintaining a healthy weight and may help prevent or delay type 2 diabetes in those at risk or its complications in those with the disease. To promote beneficial food choices, NDEP is supporting National Nutrition Month this March, and you can, too! National Nutrition Month highlights the importance of making informed food choices and developing healthy eating and physical activity habits. This year, the focus is on how to "Eat Right with Color." Click here to learn more about healthy eating and diabetes.
To help promote National Nutrition Month, share diabetes-friendly recipes from NDEP's Más que comida, es vida recipe booklet. For more nutritious, tasty, and easy-to-prepare recipes, check out the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute's new family cookbook, Keep the Beat™ Recipes: Deliciously Healthy Family Meals. Encourage people to develop a healthy meal plan using NDEP's GAME PLAN fat and calorie counter and food and activity tracker. Distribute NDEP feature articles to your local media, including, A Quick, Healthy Dish for People with Diabetes & Their Families and Eat Fruits and Veggies to Lose Weight & Lower Your Risk for Type 2 Diabetes. Also, check out the U.S. Department of Agriculture's MyPyramid menu planner and encourage people to use this resource to determine their personal healthy eating goals.
This March, NDEP also is recognizing National Kidney Month and World Kidney Day (observed on March 10, 2011). These observances seek to raise awareness of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and reduce its prevalence. Undiagnosed or untreated diabetes is a major cause of CKD. However, by managing diabetes, people can lower their risk for CKD and other diabetes complications. Encourage people with diabetes to recognize the connection between diabetes and CKD by checking out the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases' Your Guide to Diabetes: Diabetes and Your Kidneys and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) National Chronic Kidney Disease Fact Sheet. Additional resources and information for patients and the public and health care professionals are available from the National Kidney Disease Education Program, such as the For People with Diabetes or High Blood Pressure: Get Checked for Kidney Disease resource, the Questions and Answers about Diabetes fact sheet, and the Make the Kidney Connection Food Tips and Healthy Eating Ideas fact sheet. To learn more about managing diabetes, read NDEP's 4 Steps to Control Your Diabetes. For Life. brochure.
Learn About the Lasting Impact of Gestational Diabetes on Mothers and Children
The NDEP will present a webinar for the Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies Coalition (HMHB) Webinar Series on March 22, Diabetes Alert Day. The webinar, entitled, "It's Never Too Early...To Prevent Diabetes: The Lasting Impact of Gestational Diabetes on Mothers and Children," will be presented by Joanne Gallivan, M.S., R.D., Director of NDEP at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Robert Ratner, M.D., F.A.C.P., Vice President for Scientific Affairs at MedStar Research Institute. Dr. Ratner is also a principal investigator for the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) and DPP Outcomes Study of NIH and serves on the planning and steering committees for the project nationwide.

Report on Women at High Risk for Diabetes Released
In honor of Women's History Month, the CDC and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality released Women at High Risk for Diabetes: Access and Quality of Health Care, 2003-2006, on behalf of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This collaboration examined the quality of preventive health care received by U.S. women at high risk and not at high risk for diabetes. The findings indicate that, overall, women at high risk for diabetes were more likely than women not at high risk for diabetes to report fair/poor health. In addition, among women at high risk for diabetes, Mexican American, and non-Hispanic black women were significantly more likely than non-Hispanic white women to be uninsured all year. To learn more about these and other findings, click here to access the report.
Updated Guidance for Preventing Infection during Blood Glucose Monitoring and Insulin Administration Now Available
CDC has become increasingly concerned about the risks for transmitting infectious diseases, such as hepatitis B virus (HBV), through unsafe practices during assisted blood glucose monitoring and insulin administration in settings such as hospitals, assisted living facilities, and health fairs. Unsafe practices that have contributed to this risk include using a lancing (fingerstick) device for more than one person, using a blood glucose meter for more than one person without cleaning and disinfecting it between uses, using insulin pens for more than one person, and failing to change gloves and perform hand hygiene between fingerstick procedures. Click here for updated guidance, references for recent outbreaks, frequently asked questions, links to clinical alerts, and recent communications from the Food and Drug Administration.
Register for the 2011 CDC Division of Diabetes Translation Conference
The CDC's Division of Diabetes Translation will convene its 2011 Diabetes Translation Conference, "Changing the Course of Diabetes: Optimizing Health for All," April 11-14 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. NDEP's Frankie Awards will be presented at a ceremony on April 11. Learn more about the conference and the Frankies. Exhibit and sponsorship opportunities are available.

Poor Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX). Just like a bad horror movie, we know this isn't going to end well.
The one-time growth giant obviously has seen better days — peaking at about $300 a share in 2011 before crashing to under $70 in just four short months. Hopefully, you are quite familiar with this meltdown of Netflix stock last year, and I don't need to belabor it. (If not, here's my eulogy from October 2011).
But investing is always about the future, right? Forward-looking forecasts and expectations of better sales and profits ahead no matter what is behind us?
Well, bad news, Netflix stock owners: The sequel to this horror show is going to be pretty bad, too.
Here are the risks, as I see them, to Netflix stock:
No profits: After a loss for the first three months of the year, Netflix put up disappointing earnings again in July. Guidance also was ugly — with a range that includes the potential for more losses both in the upcoming Q3 report and the Q4 report. Netflix is looking to barely break even this year, even if revenue continues to tick higher.
International Cash Burn: So why are profits scarce? Well, because domestic profits grew just 2% thanks to the rather expected decline of the DVD rental business. Also, international revenue growth — thanks to almost 4 million foreign subscribers — has been offset by the investments used to win over new viewers. Thus the paradox of overseas growth gutting the bottom line as NFLX invests in new markets and infrastructure. Long-term, this only works if the profits show up — not if NFLX cannibalizes its existing operations just for top-line growth. Netflix has dreams of being the "first streaming service to reach scale" in each market with a global reach, but that is far from an easy or guaranteed feat.
Original Series Gambles: If rumors are to be believed, the chief content officer at Netflix made an unheard-of $100 million deal with director David Fincher for two full seasons of a series called House of Cards. This is part of the NFLX strategy to become the "HBO of the Internet" with slick original programming that viewers can't get anywhere else. Like the international gamble, this move only pays off if it shows up on the bottom line — and there are very real risks that the company could just be throwing money down a well. Creating a TV series isn't like bottling water. There's a quality factor that must be there. Netflix currently has four original programs either airing, set to air or in development.
Programming Misses: There was a huge spat last year when Netflix failed to renew Starz content, and it officially left NFLX in February. Lately, the content wars have continued to take a toll. Recently there is news that A&E shows like Pawn Stars will be gone, and that competitor Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) has nabbed movies like The Hunger Games as Epix exclusivity lapsed. Not good.
Competition: Speaking of Amazon, it's worth noting that even if Netflix figures out its balance sheet and winds up airing slick original programming at home and abroad … well, NFLX constantly will have to look over its shoulder. There's Amazon Prime — with slick integration into the Kindle HD, too. There's also Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and its ubiquitous iTunes store and the appeal of the iPad and iPhone as streaming devices. There's Hulu — the successful streaming venture from old-school TV shops NBC Universal, News Corp's (NASDAQ:NWSA) Fox and ABC parent Disney (NYSE:DIS). Heck, even Coinstar (NASDAQ:CSTR) and its DVD-dispensing Redbox brand is getting in on the action thanks to a partnership with Verizon (NYSE:VZ)! In short: Netflix is far from the only game in town.
So let's review:
Netflix stock will go up if the company's cash burn on international growth plans and original programming pays off in the months (maybe years) ahead, and if it manages to out-stream the competition and negotiate better content deals with better success.
On the other hand, Netflix stock could reasonably go to zero as competition heats up and profits dry up.
And consider this: NFLX has a forward P/E of 60 even after crashing 20% year-to-date and 80% from last July! So don't fool yourself into thinking you are buying a bargain growth story here or a turnaround play. You are taking a huge gamble.
Stop watching the Netflix horror show. If you really want to play streaming, just buy Apple or Amazon.

Arthritis is one of the newest diseases to benefit from a diet rich in antioxidants, according to a recent article in Arthritis Today Magazine, a publication of The Arthritis Foundation.
According to the article, antioxidants are the natural compounds found in fruits and vegetables that help protect against the damaging effects of free radicals, the harmful chemicals that cause disease when they interact with the body's fats, protein, and DNA.
The article explains that vitamin C, vitamin E, and beta-carotene intake may be linked to less osteoarthritis and a reduced chance of developing knee osteoarthritis. However, because antioxidants work best together, the article suggests eating a diet that is rich in all antioxidants and not just overloaded with one.
"Arthritis Today Magazine" suggests eating more of these five vegetables, all of which are known to be rich in antioxidants:
Broccoli, which is high in vitamins A and C and a good source of vitamin K. Broccoli also contains sulforaphane, a substance that may block enzymes involved in cartilage breakdown. As an added bonus, sulforaphane has been shown to also have anti-cancer properties.
Sweet potatoes, which are high in vitamin C and beta-carotene.
Onions, which contain the flavonoid, quercetin, a substance that blocks the formation of inflammation, a condition associated with arthritis.
Kale, which contains vitamin K, vitamins A and C and flavonoids.
Peas, which contain phenolic acid and other related compounds.
According to the article, antioxidants appear to reduce inflammation by blocking enzymes that lead to joint destruction, so eating a diet high in anti-oxidant rich vegetables such as these five, will help keep cartilage strong, which in turn will lead to healthy joints.

The Dialer Cloud is a new premise-based predictive dialer service recently released by Dialtel, a voice broadcasting provider.
Dialtel has been powering fully customizable voice broadcasting messages since 2004. The newly unveiled dialer service is the result of the company's continued efforts to deliver innovative services to clients as it combine the benefits of hosting in the cloud with the benefits of owning software.
The Dialer Cloud is the Web-based service that interacts with the dialer. While customers can easily manage the entire account from the Internet, the dialer does the rest of the work. It also continuously offers customers access to new software upgrades that they will receive free of charge.
Voice broadcasting via the cloud enables users to utilize their existing network and save money by eliminating the need to purchase additional equipment that can get very expensive in a short period of time. However, the service does require users to pay a free for operating and maintaining that network. According to Dialtel officials, the biggest costs are usualy related to the hosting of the media to handle advanced functions such as playing audio files, recording phone calls, and capturing DTMF responses.
When selling the dialer hardware to a customer, the company acts as a host for the Web portion of the service which allows customers to use any carrier they wish. The customer simply purchases the dialer from Dialtel and they can then connect it to the Dialer Cloud.
Dialers from Dialtel range from 12-48 lines for home and office connections to 96-600 lines for large customers. Smaller customers can run up to 48 lines out of the home or office but beyond that number of lines, the system would need to be hosted in a data center.
Another benefit of purchasing this dialer from Dialtel is that customers will receive true wholesale voice broadcasting rates. The provider will even give a free evaluation to customers looking to purchase the hardware, comparing it to the cost of hosting Greendialer, its fully hosted dialer service.

Sir Ketumile Masire - Biographical Information
President, Republic of Botswana 1980-1998
Sir Ketumile Masire was Botswana's second President, serving 18 years from 1980-1998. Prior to this, he was a leading figure in the independence movement and then the new government, and played a crucial role in facilitating and protecting Botswana's steady financial growth and development.
Having trained as a teacher, Ketumile Masire took up farming in 1956 and journalism in 1958, becoming the editor of the Botswana Democratic Party Newspaper "Therisanyo" in 1962. In 1966 he became a Member of Parliament and later Vice President and Minister of Finance and Development Planning.
In 1980 he succeeded the late Sir Seretse Khama as the second President of the Republic of Botswana, and in 1984 won the Presidential elections under the ruling Botswana Democratic Party. As President, Sir Ketumile Masire was responsible for the introduction of comprehensive social service programmes which significantly improved Botswana's education, communications and health indicators. Sir Ketumile Masire's government was able to increase nutrition levels in the country during the 1980s, despite Botswana experiencing a severe drought. During his tenure of office, he was Chairman of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and Co-Chairperson of the Global Coalition for Africa. He also became the first Vice-Chairman of the Organization of African Unity in 1991.
Sir Ketumile Masire has received Honorary Doctorates from University of Botswana, St John University, De Paul University, Williams College, Sussex University, University of Port Elizabeth, Ohio University, and Carlton College.

Researchers may have identified key genes linked to why some people have a higher tolerance for pain than others, according to a study released April 20, 2014 that will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology's 66th Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, April 26-May 3, 2014.
"Our study is quite significant because it provides an objective way to understand pain and why different individuals have different pain tolerance levels. Identifying whether a person has these four genes could help doctors better understand a patient's perception of pain," said study author Tobore Onojjighofia, MD, MPH, according to the April 20, 2014 news release, "Low tolerance for pain? The reason may be in your genes." Onojjighofia is with Proove Biosciences and a member of the American Academy of Neurology.
Researchers evaluated 2,721 people diagnosed with chronic pain for certain genes. Participants were taking prescription opioid pain medications. The genes involved were COMT, DRD2, DRD1 and OPRK1.
The participants also rated their perception of pain on a scale from zero to 10
People who rated their pain as zero were not included in the study. Low pain perception was defined as a score of one, two or three. Moderate pain perception was a score of four, five or six. And high pain perception was a score of seven, eight, nine or 10.
Nine percent of the participants had low pain perception, 46 percent had moderate pain perception and 45 percent had high pain perception. The researchers found that the DRD1 gene variant was 33 percent more prevalent in the low pain group than in the high pain group.
Pain perception varies among different people
Among people with a moderate pain perception, the COMT and OPRK variants were 25 percent and 19 percent more often found than in those with a high pain perception. The DRD2 variant was 25 percent more common among those with a high pain perception compared to people with moderate pain.
"Chronic pain can affect every other part of life," said Onojjighofia, according to the news release. "Finding genes that may be play a role in pain perception could provide a target for developing new therapies and help physicians better understand their patients' perceptions of pain." Maybe that's why some people fear dentists and doctors more than others. Proove Biosciences, Inc. supported the study. Learn more about chronic pain at the AAN.com website.
A survey showed cardiologists are aware of life-saving diets, yet failing to recommend them
In another study back in 2006, researchers explained that wider use of vegetarian diets would result in fewer surgeries and deaths from heart disease. Studies show patients transition easily to new diet, according to a February 21, 2006 news release, "New survey shows cardiologists aware of life-saving diet, yet failing to recommend it." Have diets really changed for older adults nowadays? And how many doctors are not recommending diets to reverse soft plaque clogging arteries? You may wish to check out what's happening lately with the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. Also see, "Sample Recipes - Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease."
If you look back only to 2006, then a pilot survey of cardiologists revealed that most know about the life-saving potential of a truly low-fat vegetarian diet for heart patients, but fail to recommend the diet in the mistaken belief that patients will not comply. And in recent times, other physicians want people to follow a higher-fat Mediterranean diet. But the diet needs to be tailored to how the individual reacts to the diet as far as what shows up on tests and physical exams. Please don't feet your cat or kitten a vegan diet.
Some older adults are feeling depressed not knowing what diets to follow for their individual metabolic and genetic responses to various foods. Published studies actually show that patients transition fairly easily to a low-fat diet that contains no animal products, and most rate this diet as "good" or "extremely good." If cardiologists' knowledge of the acceptability of the vegetarian diet were equal to their familiarity with its efficacy, the result would be improved patient care and fewer deaths.
The omnivorous diet isn't customized to the individual much of the time
Instead, most cardiologists responding to the survey recommend the standard omnivorous low-fat (up to 30 percent of calories from fat) diet, which recently made headlines for its role in the Women's Health Initiative study. Omnivorous low-fat diets have not proven effective for treating or preventing heart disease. To experience dramatic improvement, heart patients must consume a diet that contains less than 15 percent of calories from fat and that excludes saturated fat from animal products. About six percent of the population can eat almost any food safe to eat and survive beyond the century mark. But what about the rest of society?
"Patients hospitalized with life-threatening cardiac conditions should be advised by their doctor that they could head off another heart attack by switching to a low-fat vegetarian diet," says report co-author Amy Joy Lanou, Ph.D., according to the February 21, 2006 news release, "New survey shows cardiologists aware of life-saving diet, yet failing to recommend it." Lanou is (at the time of the news release) a senior nutrition scientist with the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine and an assistant professor of health and wellness at the University of North Carolina."
Dietary changes reinforced by a doctor's recommendation will make it even easier for patients to make simple changes that could add years to their lives." The lead author of the report is Keith Rafal, M.D., M.P.H., (at the time of the news release) medical director of the Rehabilitation Hospital of Rhode Island.
Ninety-one percent of responding cardiologists were either "very familiar" or "somewhat familiar" with the research supporting very low-fat cardiac diets, the survey found
In 1990, cardiologist Dean Ornish, M.D., changed cardiac care forever with the publication in the Lancet of a study showing arrest and even reversal of heart disease with a very low-fat vegetarian diet. Other researchers have published similar findings.
The simplicity of a vegetarian diet that excludes animal products appeals to people busy with work and family, and many familiar recipes are easy to adapt. At least four studies published in peer-reviewed journals show that patients give the low-fat vegetarian diet a high rating in terms of acceptability. In current times, there are numerous vegan and low-fat diets such as Dr Esselstyn's diet. See, "Q&A with Dr. Esselstyn - Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease." And see, "Dr. Esselstyn discusses a recent study on olive oil and nuts." Or for recipes, check out, Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., MD, "Sample Recipes - Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease." See, "Caldwell Esselstyn Jr., MD - Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine."
Twenty-eight years ago, while chairman of the Cleveland Clinic's Breast Cancer Task Force, general surgeon Caldwell B. Esselstyn Jr., M.D., grew disappointed in the way he and his colleagues were treating cancer and heart disease. Relying on pills and surgical procedures despite their side effects and risks, Dr. Esselstyn says he and his peers were doing "nothing to prevent disease in the next unsuspecting victim."
This was particularly frustrating given that research studies had already suggested an obvious culprit. The fatty American diet was, in all likelihood, responsible for heart disease and many Western cancers, which are infrequently seen in parts of the world where much less fat is consumed, according to the "21 Day Vegan Kickstart" website. Learn more about Dr. Esselstyn here.
Older adults and sadness
Another noteworthy news of recent research include, "Internet use can help ward off depression among elderly." It's estimated that as many as 10 million older Americans suffer from depression, often brought on by feelings of loneliness and isolation. And there's also the news release, "Internet use may cut retirees' depression," about a new study, "Internet Use and Depression Among Retired Older Adults in the United States: A Longitudinal Analysis," published online since March 26, 2014 in the Journals of Gerontology, Series B: Psychological and Social Sciences. You may wish to check out the abstract of that study.
Spending time online has the potential to ward off depression among retirees, particularly among those who live alone, according to research published online in The Journals of Gerontology, Series B: Psychological Sciences and Social Sciences. In the study, "Internet Use and Depression Among Retired Older Adults in the United States: A Longitudinal Analysis," the authors report that Internet use reduced the probability of a depressed state by 33 percent among their study sample.
On another note, you might check out the recent news release, "Our relationship with God changes when faced with potential romantic rejection." Spring holiday season is a time when many people in the world think about their relationships with God. New research explores a little-understood role of God in people's lives: helping them cope with the threat of romantic rejection. In this way, God stands in for other relationships in our lives when times are tough.

The NHL keeps insisting it will do the right thing and not schedule any games on Hockey Hall of Fame induction day in Toronto in November.
But it's all lip service.
Last year, the league had five games on tap, including the Pittsburgh Penguins playing on the night Ron Francis, one of their storied players, was inducted into the Hall.
This year, on Glenn Anderson's big night -- Nov. 10 -- the Edmonton
Oilers are in New York to face the Rangers.
The Oilers and the Rangers are the only two teams Anderson won Stanley Cups with (five in Edmonton, one with the Rangers).
Why can't the league go dark on the night they honour their greatest players?
Oilers to turn back clock
The Oilers haven't had a news briefing to unveil their upcoming third jersey, but it's no secret they'll be turning back the clock to showcase the blue and orange colours from their 1980s' glory days.
So if you have a Wayne Gretzky or Mark Messier jersey in the back of your closet, gathering mothballs, you can gleefully bring it out this winter.
Marketing whiz Fahey dies
Dan Fahey, a marketing whiz who worked for the Edmonton Oilers during their days in the World Hockey
Association, and their early years in the NHL, died last week in Ontario, a
victim of Lou Gehrig's disease.
Fahey, 67, also worked with the Canadian Football League, and IndyCar racing. He was co-owner of Maraca, a firm that distributed licensed NHL merchandise, among countless other things.
His prized possession, however, was a Stanley Cup ring from the Gretzky era.
On the bench
Morley Scott's ouster late last week as the Oilers' 630 CHED radio colourman was a shocker -- he did a very good job as Rod Phillips's sidekick. Scott will be paid until next June, at least, which will ease the pain somewhat ... Gilbert Brule will likely be wearing Jarret Stoll's No. 16 in the exhibition games at the Oilers training camp ... Regina Pats forward Jordan Eberle, the Oilers' top pick in the June entry draft, will inherit Joni Pitkanen's No. 25 jersey ... Steve Bartlett, Geoff Sanderson's agent, says there are a couple of teams interested in inviting the former Oilers winger to camp (on a tryout). "He's still debating that," said Bartlett. Jeff O'Neill, who sat out all of last season when nobody signed him, is going to Carolina on a look-see this fall ... Ray Ferraro's jump over to TSN this year after being the Oilers TV colourman on Sportsnet may result in not seeing his son, Landon, play for the Red Deer Rebels quite as often. Ferraro, who lives in Vancouver, could always keep track of his son, who's expected to be a first-round draft pick next June, from Edmonton ... The Oilers may have more than 70 players at their main camp, depending on how many players look good at their rookie camp in Camrose.

Over the next week three events of steamy significance will be happening in the steampunk community in Cincinati, Detroit, and on the aetherweb including the Steampunk Empire Symposium, the Midwest Media Expo, and the debut album release of a new band, Ague.
Voltaire performs in Cincinati and Detroit this weekend!
The 2014 Steampunk Empire Symposium kicks off in Cincinati on Friday the 25th at 4 p.m. with their welcome Tea Stroll. Friday night's concert with the famed author/performing artist Aurelio Voltaire is the last official item on the first nights schedule but their famous "Room Parties" (21+ only) will undoubtedly leave the patrons burning the midnight oil. The Ford Theater Reunion, Chakras, Automaton, Drunk & Sailor, Crystal Bright & the Silver Hands, Travis Fessler and the Pickled Brothers Circus and Sir Reginald Pikedevant, Esquire are also on the roster to perform during the symposium.
Steampunk and Star Trek at the Midwest Media Expo
A first for 2014 is Detroit's Midwest Media Expo, brought to you by the same folks who run Youmacon and who did the three years of the World Steam Expo. After his Friday night concert in Cincinatti, Aurelio Voltaire will be heading for Detroit where he will be joining Steam Powered Giraffe, on the stage, an event well worth the view. One of the midwest's favorites, Todd Haberkorn, along with Vic Mignogna, and other members of the "Star Trek Continues" cast will be at the Midwest Media Expo to promote the fan produced Star Trek series. Additional guests include cosplay queens Hex Hypoxia, Vivid Vivka, and Porphyria, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Superfan, Michele Ivey, and many others!
Hear it before the debut! The Ague Debut - From Workhouse to Grave CD
A final coming event worthy of note is the entrance of a new performer into the steampunk community who goes by the name "Half-Rats" and his one man band, Ague. His debut album, "From Workhouse to Grave", is set to be released on May 1, 2014. Those who enjoy the darker, dystopian views of alternate histories will enjoy his noir numbers such as "To Hell with the Temperance Movement", "Hellbourne", and "Straight Razor Swing" (instrumental but a great title!) Prior to the album going live, it is available on the band Facebook page. So give a listen to the music and check out the character notes and lyrics!

I've searched the forums and found a few helpful threads, but would like to find more discussion and sources for the topic of 2A infringement, especially with regard to what counts as infringement.
For practical/safety purposes I can see why we may not want criminals and mentally ill persons owning guns, but constitution-wise why is this acceptable? What's the legal case, jargon, etc. for this view? Or, is the 2A some sort of individual right that should not be infringed upon at all? (former criminals should not be allowed to defend themselves?). I'm worried that the justification for not allowing mentally ill or criminals to have guns because of safety of others could lend itself to justifying the requiring of safety courses before gun ownership and/or carrying in public (safety of other people).
I think many of us see required safety gun courses for ownership as infringement. But why does it seem like there isn't a lot of visible outrage over the safety course requirement for concealed carry in some states? Is a safety course an instance of infringement or not?
Links & sources appreciated for further reading.
Thanks in advance

As we scrape uneaten food into the trash can after dinner every night or throw away moldy bread that we just didn't get around to eating, many of us don't see that wasted food as wasted money. But in fact, that's just what it is.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture recently reported that the amount of uneaten food in American homes and restaurants in 2008 was about $390 in wasted food per each U.S. consumer. This is more than the average American spends on food each month.
All Henry County farmers and landowners are reminded that the 2013 Phase I Application Period is now open.
From now, through 4 p.m. Tuesday, June 18, the Henry County Extension Office will have the producer applications available. After June 18, no more applications can be accepted for the 2013 Kentucky Agriculture Development Fund CAIP Program in Henry County.
A cable is defined as a group of wires bundled together for the purpose of transmission; Extension is the cable that has been Extension Homemakers' connection to Henry County for 75 years!
You'll find them around every corner: Extension Homemaker volunteers who make a difference each day in local churches, community organizations, neighborhoods, senior centers and other organizations. In total, these unsung heroes are making a bigger impact than ever as local budgets evaporate and community needs escalate.
By now, you may have heard rumors or reports that a meat processing plant may be built near Campbellsburg.
The idea of a local meat processing facility is at present, just a vision. Here is the story: Since the middle of last year, a group of interested farmers, civic and government leaders has been discussing the potential and possibility of a meat processing facility which may be located in Henry County.
Adult crochet classes start in July
For those of you who are interested in learning to crochet we have a series of classes starting on July 9 and running through Aug. 13. The class will be taught here at the Extension Office on Tuesday afternoons for six weeks from 3 to 5 p.m. There will be a $5 fee and your supplies will be provided. The class is limited to eight people so call us at 845-2811 to register.
Antique Class
Late spring and early summer are popular times of year for yard sales. Yard sales can often be a win-win for both the buyer and the seller. As people transition from winter to summer by cleaning out closets and spring cleaning they often notice the amount of stuff that has accumulated in their house over the last several months (or years).
All Henry County farmers and landowners are reminded that the Phase I Tobacco Money Cost Share Program is about to begin. We've just been notified that the Kentucky Agriculture Development Board gave the go-ahead this past Friday, May 17, for the Henry County Cattleman's Association to serve as program administrator for approximately $243,000 of Henry County Agriculture Development Funds to be offered through the County Agriculture Investment Program.
As usual, the Henry County Farmers Market opened for business on the Saturday before Derby Day, and will continue to operate on Saturday mornings and Wednesday afternoons at the Henry County Courthouse front lawn.
We hope you can visit for a couple of great reasons. First, you'll be meeting some of our wonderful local farm families.
Over the years, improved technology has made many new homes more energy efficient, but you shouldn't shy away or move from an older home just for better energy efficiency. You can upgrade your older home to make it energy efficient.
Prior to the mid-20th century, fully automated, controlled and mechanized heating, cooling and ventilation systems did not exist. Instead, older homes had passive and manual features incorporated into their design to meet heating, cooling and ventilation needs.

Fresh peaches, photo by: Christy Pringle
It's peach season here in the south and what better way to highlight these luscious fruits than with a fresh peach cobbler? The addition of blackberries makes for a delightful surprise when the dessert is spooned out. Get the freshest by picking your own at local Pick-Your-Own farms. There are a couple in the area. In Bedford county, there is Farris Volunteer Nursery located at 552 Knight Campground Road, Shelbyville, TN 37160. Phone: (931) 680-0840, Fax: (931) 680-0210. They do peaches and blackberries. In Lincoln there is Dennison's located at 98 Milner Switch, Elora, TN, 37328. Phone: (931) 937-8162. Fax: (931) 937-6087. They have Blackberries, Cantaloupes, Strawberries, Corn, Eggplants, Peppers, Pumpkins, Squash, Tomatoes.
Fresh peach and blackberry cobbler
- 1 cup sliced peaches (three small fresh peaches)
- 1/2 cup blackberries
- sweetener of choice,to taste
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 cup baking mix
- 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup chopped toasted pecans (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8x8 baking dish with nonstick spray. If you are using fresh peaches, you will need to peel them. Do this by plunging them into boiling water for a few seconds, the skins will slip right off. Slice them by cutting down to the pit, then gently prying the pieces off with your fingers or your knife. Place them into a bowl and add the blackberries, sweetener, cornstarch, cinnamon and ginger. Gently toss together until well combined. In a small bowl, measure out your baking mix. Add in the brown sugar and stir to combine thoroughly. Using a fork, mash the butter into the mix. Stir in the milk. Spoon the fruit mixture into your baking dish. Dollop the dough onto the top of the fruit, leaving little gaps in the top. If using, sprinkle on the chopped pecans. Place in the oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes. Serve hot topped with ice cream or at room temperature with whipped cream.

Vorburger, C (2005). Positive genetic correlations among major life-history traits related to ecological success in the aphid Myzus persicae. Evolution, 59(5):1006-1015.
Full text not available from this repository.
Life-history theory is based on the assumption that evolution is constrained by trade-offs among different traits that contribute to fitness. Such trade-offs should be evident from negative genetic correlations among major life-history traits. However, this expectation is not always met. Here I report the results of a life-table experiment designed to measure the broad-sense heritabilities of life-history traits and their genetic correlations in 19 different clones of the aphid Myzus persicae from Victoria, Australia. Most individual traits, as well as fitness calculated as the finite rate of increase from the life table, exhibited highly significant heritabilities. The pattern of genetic correlations revealed absolutely no evidence for life-history trade-offs. Rather, life histories were arranged along an axis from better to worse. Clones with shorter development times tended to have larger body sizes, higher fecundities, and larger offspring. The fitness of clones estimated from the life table in the laboratory tended to be positively associated with their abundance in the field. Fitness also increased significantly with heterozygosity at the seven microsatellite loci that were used to distinguish clones and estimate their frequencies in the field. I discuss these findings in light of a recent proposition that positive genetic correlations among life-history traits for which trade-offs are expected can be explained by genetic variation for resource acquisition ability that is maintained in populations by a cost of acquisition, and I propose ways to test for such a cost in M. persicae.

By David F. Evans
A review of Searching for Zion: The Quest for Home in the African Diaspora, Emily Raboteau, Atlantic Monthly Press, 2013, 320 pp.
Emily Raboteau's Searching for Zion: The Quest for Home in the African Diaspora is an intimate journey into a vast array of longings for a utopian homeland. These longings find their most common expression in the hope for the land of promise, Zion. Often Raboteau's communities express this hope religiously, but even when the hope is not expressed with overtly religious language their desire for a homeland cannot be mistaken. The reality of home historically eluded the grasp of descendants of Africa throughout the Western world, so they put their faith in a mythical Zion of distant lands. Like the flood victim in Bessie Smith's song "Backwater Blues," who felt the floodwaters had called her "to pack my things and go," the oppression that the African diaspora suffered under white supremacy incited many communities and individuals to seek safety in the promise of a foreign place. In this way, the metaphor of Zion is an African utopia, but the theme of home and belonging transcends the African diaspora and speaks to all who feel out of place and long to go.
Much of this longing, at times "shapeless, persistent and intrusive," is represented in Raboteau's own experience. The daughter of a black father and a white mother, Raboteau offers the reader her own desire for home as a lens. Her father, Albert Raboteau, a prominent professor of Religious studies and one of the most important scholars on African American religion, serves as her muse. Through her own story, the reader begins to understand that U.S. American society has often understood people only insofar as they recognizably fit into the binary racial categories of black and white. Raboteau, a mixed race person, does not fit into that U.S. racial binary–and she has the scars to prove it. From the moment Israeli security personnel interrogate and strip search her before a flight to Israel, to the time she is assaulted by the flying bottle of a drunk man in New York City—a place where the people she views as kin see her as an Arabic threat to Western civilization—she experiences rejection from her own nation. In this context, she expresses a deep longing for a connection to a place and people. Her Jewish childhood friend finds that place and people in Israel. It's in Israel, where Raboteau encounters black Jews, that she embarks on her own journey through which the reader meets a cast of sojourners whose visions are simultaneously beautiful and terrible representations of the elusive search for home. Zion is, as one Rastafarian shares with Raboteau, "an inborn place." Thus, the journey necessarily ventures through the complexities of self-identity and belonging.
Raboteau successfully avoids what she describes as the "ridiculous cliché 'the tragic mulatto' whining about not belonging." Her mixed race identity, however, makes her physical presence a perpetual site for inquiry. As she puts it, "My mixed race had made me a perpetual question." Nearly each new encounter begins with the question, "What are you?" As she narrates such experiences, she reminds the reader that her search is situated in a tradition that has made the self a legitimate site for intellectual reflection. At times her narration reads similarly to W.E.B. Du Bois' classic Soul's of Black Folk. It is no overstatement to say that in Du Bois' text is perhaps the most appropriate comparative example, in style and content, of an African American author who uses the self as a lens through which to understand a land and a people. In his essay "Of Our Spiritual Strivings," Du Bois suggested that his presence always provoked the unuttered question, "How does it feel to be a problem?" Like Du Bois did in the U.S. South, Raboteau reveals her own curiosity, and sometimes terror, in order to provide the reader with insight into five communities of the African Diaspora: Israel, Jamaica, Ethiopia, Ghana, and the U.S. Southern Black Belt.
Raboteau's quest is much more anthropology than autobiography. While her own vulnerability provides an essential entryway into the journey, her book transcends her own story. She makes clear that while she too has a stake in the quest, the story she tells is not solely her own. Rather, she studies the elusive Zion from the perspectives of those who dwell in the mythical lands of promise. Searching for Zion is a reminder of the spiritual romanticism and existential disappointment that one finds in searching for home in a land far away. She writes, "At its root, my quest wasn't about identity, it was about faith." This faith might best be described as a belief in the future as articulated in the multi-geographical experiences of the communities she visits; a spiritual and political faith, but not necessarily a religious one. While some communities welcomed her into explicitly religious rituals, others made only political proclamations. Each in its own way, however, persistently directed her back to her own faith journey for answers.
Her upbringing, liminal racial status, and gifts as a storyteller enable her to narrate what will undoubtedly become an important text for students in Religious Studies, African American Studies, African American Religion, and Intercultural Studies courses. For example, she grasps the historical significance that no other utopian myth of the African Diaspora had a longer tradition than the one found in the African American romance of Ethiopia. For at least a century, Ethiopia became the symbolic representation of the homeland for African Americans like David Walker, Maria Stewart, Frederick Douglass, Phyllis Wheatley, and Marcus Garvey, to name a few. The fact that most African Americans' ancestry is West African rather than East African mattered not in the nineteenth century. In Raboteau's study, twenty-first century Rastafarians also idealize the Ethiopian cradle of civilization. Taking the romanticization of Ethiopia a step further, Rastas venerate the deceased Ethiopian ruler Haile Selassie as the political incarnation of Christ. Neither their faith in Ethiopia or Selassie, however, is anything like the reality Raboteau finds in the Zion of Rastas in Ethiopia. This Zion was always wet and full of poverty. More importantly, the repatriated Rastas could not stomach the idea that their Christ had severely oppressed his people and that their land of Zion, Shashemene, never lived up to the lofty expectations they had had for it.
Shashemene was not unique in this regard. Raboteau finds reasons for disappointment in every supposed paradise. Many Ethiopian Jews carried disdain for Palestinians, many Jamaican Rastas cared nothing for gays and lesbians, the Rastafarian community in Ethiopia had little sense of purpose. That said, Raboteau saves her most poignant articulation of disenchantment for Ghana. When Raboteau arrives in the land that welcomed African American professionals like W.E.B. Du Bois, the repatriated African Americans she encounters express frustration, fatigue, and a desire to return to the U.S. Ghana, a site of spiritual pilgrimage for many African Americans searching to be connected to their enslaved ancestors is, quite disappointingly, also on the list of countries with high rates of human trafficking of women and children. The land that should remind African Americans of progress, that slavery is a problem of the past, is today a nation with a slavery problem. She finds that Africa, even West Africa, is not Zion but another myth.
Raboteau's search for Zion leads her right back to where she started, the United States of America. The U.S. Southern Black Belt, in the wake of hurricane Katrina and the election of the first black President, brings the reader full circle to a people cast as refugees in a land that is supposed to be their own. As Bessie Smith concluded in "Backwater Blues," even though the disasters of life called me to "pack up my things and go," at some point, she laments, "I can't move no more. There ain't no place for a poor old girl to go." For those who have been rejected by the society of their citizenship, Raboteau's search reveals that home is an elusive concept. When home becomes a utopian vision grounded in the religious imagery of Zion it may be an impossible destination. In the end, one wonders if the search for Zion is a search for a promised land or a search for self? After reading Searching for Zion, perhaps it is safe to conclude that it is both. Raboteau's text gives voice to the quest for belonging and as such is a twenty-first century contribution to the ongoing struggle for peoples displaced by the modern problem of race. It suggests that the struggle is a journey, one that requires faith to persistently believe there's a homeland for everyone, even if we have yet to find it.
David F. Evans is the Assistant professor of History and Intercultural Studies at Eastern Mennonite Seminary in Harrisonburg, VA. His teaching and scholarship makes visible the, often invisible, oppressive racial and religious ideologies that have annexed Christian communities to nationalist systems. In concert with his teaching and scholarship, he practices a local "eco-lutionary" lifestyle that promotes a sustainable future for the diverse people of the Shenandoah Valley Watershed.

This question is too basic; it can be definitively and permanently answered by a single link to a standard internet reference source designed specifically to find that type of information.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
The meanings of whoa:
Whoa can also be spelled woah though there are many arguments started by bored people about which way is correct.
It is very obviously an English word. It comes ultimately from Old French ho, but I agree that this is a question that hardly needs to be asked here.
I had thought Whoa is the sound a cowboy let out to signal his horse to slow down (and stop). Whence, whoa means 'slow down (to stop)'.
1623, a cry to call attention from a distance, a variant of who. As a command to stop a horse, it is attested from 1843, a variant of ho. As an expression of delight or surprise (1980s) it has gradually superseded wow, which was very popular 1960s. [Etymonline]

so with a library that big how would one go about using it on something like a macbook pro (can u install the labrary on an external drive?) and how power hungry is this beast. it sounds beautiful.

The videos from NAMM with Eric Persing were running on a Macbook Pro 15 inch version - so yes it does. The site says 2gb RAM and 50GB HD space, so yes it probably would work on a MBpro or maybe a Macbook

I am using Ubuntu for 4 years. Now I have loaded 64 bit version on my Home. while upgrading to 12.4 it was interrupted for some reasons and not full upgrade down loaded. I started Ubuntu on some next 2 days after it was working fine then when connected to internet I saw that 1120 updates are waiting. I started updating when all updates downloaded and it started processing the updates it stopped in between and Ubuntu in now not opening. what should I do? I have Windows as well as Ubuntu on same hard-disk on my computer. Whether any remedy or I have to fresh load Ubuntu?
I would personally opt for a clean install.
Boot to a LiveCD, backup your home files (which should all be accessible still) and any others that you want to keep to another drive and reinstall. The whole process takes about half an hour (depending on how much stuff you have) and you get a shiny clean install.
You might want to try recovering the upgrade process first - just in case it's that simple. From the LiveCD, open a terminal and run:

First Listen: Ollabelle, 'Neon Blue Bird'
Audio for this feature is no longer available.
In 2001, five friends who loved making music together formed a band and named it after one of their heroes, the gospel singer and folk musician Ola Belle Reed. A decade later, Ollabelle are still five, still friends, and still having fun. Some things never change.
And yet, Ollabelle is a band that prides itself on constant transformation. "We never play the songs the same way twice," says singer and keyboard player Glenn Patscha. "We try our damndest to be honest with each other and to the music." With the release of their third studio album, Neon Blue Bird, the band is holding true to those dictates
Neon Blue Bird is a showcase of Ollabelle's influences, from its gospel roots ("Be Your Woman") to its traditional Americana sensibilities ("Swanee River"). Elsewhere, the band sounds downright contemporary, as on "Brotherly Love." A handful of covers and reinterpreted traditional songs pop up between the originals, including my favorite version to date of Taj Mahal's "Lovin' In My Baby's Eyes."
Clearly, the multi-talented quintet still adores playing together. But some things do change: After 2006's Riverside Battle Songs, the next obvious step for Ollabelle might have been something a little more deeply rooted in the Americana tradition, building on the success of that fantastic release. Instead, Neon Blue Bird takes the band in two directions at once, hearkening back to its gospel days while casting an eye towards the future.
