Black Thunderby Max Brand
In "Lawman's Heart," Larry Traynor is driving a stage with his shotgun guard, Sam Whitney, the man who has been his mentor in life, when a hold-up occurs. Sam is shot dead. Traynor is determined to bring the thief to justice, but then fate intervenes. Although he does not recognize the symptoms, or what they mean, Traynor is suffering from heart failure. He is deputized to give pursuit even though, given his condition, it can only lead to his ruin.Joe Palmer in "White-Water Sam" had been a deck hand on the Thomas Drayton before the railroad came. Now the fine river boat is permanently moored in Lake Bennett, useless to her owner, because the only chance for a future is to get her downstream through the impossible rapids of Miles Canyon. Sam Bridgeman once tried to shoot those rapids with a river boat, the Denver Belle. He knew that the only way to do it was to ride the very center of the rapids, but the Denver Belle turned sideways and smashed against the rocks. The experience affected Sam's mind. Now Larry Decatur arrives with enough money to buy the Thomas Drayton, but he knows nothing about river boats and certainly cannot hope to run the rapids in Miles Canyon by himself.In "Black Thunder," Dan Harrigan and Angus MacTee are partners in a mining claim. What divides them in Kate Malone. They both love her, but she loves only one of them, and has gone into hiding. MacTee learns her whereabouts, and heads out, with Dan Harrigan in pursuit.
Brother of the Cheyennesby Max Brand
Rusty Sabin was born to white parents but brought up by the Cheyenne Indians, who named the redheaded boy Red Hawk. His ability to heal the sick and to make strange magic is widely honored throughout the tribe. But in his twenties, Red Hawk sets out to take his place among white people. When Rusty and his stallion White Horse are nearly at the frontier post of Fort Marston, the river boat he's riding is grounded, and a man called Bill Tenney comes to his rescue.Rusty doesn't know much about the white man's ways--especially a white man like Bill Tenney, a thief and a fugitive. Tenney is only interested in one thing--Rusty's white stallion, considered sacred among the Cheyennes. Meanwhile Major Marston is determined to come between Rusty and his sweetheart, Maisry, and the Cheyennes do all they can to compel Rusty to return to his tribe.First serialized in 1934, Brothers of the Cheyennes--the second installment of the Rusty Sabin trilogy--cemented Max Brand's reputation as one of the most exciting and talented writers working in the Western genre. To this day, Rusty Sabin remains an indelible American character, caught between two worlds and simply trying to do the right thing.
Comancheby Max Brand
When Andrew Apperley visits his brother David in the East, he brings along an unexpected companion. Andrew's giant wolf dog, Comanche, is so wild that he has to be chained up for the safety of others. However, when the Apperley brothers come across a man drowning in the East River, Comanche breaks loose from his chains and swims to the man's rescue. In fact, this man, Single Jack Deems, is a convict who has just escaped from Blackwell's Island. Deems wants Comanche for himself, and trails the Apperley brothers as they journey back West. Meanwhile, Andrew has his own problems back home with dangerous outlaw and businessman Alex Shodress. Shodress has learned to steal with immunity from the law, and has imperiled everything Andrew owns. When Deems finally shows up at the Apperley ranch to buy Comanche, Andrew tells him that there is only one way he can win possession of the wolf dog, if he is willing to do it. Once again, beloved Western author Max Brand weaves a compelling story of the Old West, its systems of law and justice, and the people that lived in its time.
The False Riderby Max Brand
A gun cracked! The lantern in the deserted mine was smashed to bits. Then Jim Silver's great voice boomed through the darkness, "Barry Christian, I've come for you!"

Christian took out his knife and held it in front of him. Then suddenly a fist boomed against his jaw!
The Fighting Fourby Max Brand
His name was Jim Silver, but they called him Silvertip. His only companions were his stallion, Parade, and a wolf, Frosty, who obeyed nothing but the wild instincts of his breed and the soft commands of his master. Together they were part of the legend of the West. Silvertip was a man who hungered for action the way most men hungered for food. And he found plenty when bank robber Jim Lovell sought his protection. Because, unknown to Silvertip, Lovell was packing a half-million dollars in stolen cash along with his Winchester. And the men he'd double-crossed had shot their way out of jail and were riding hard on the trail of their desperate partner.
The Gauntletby Max Brand
FIRST TIME IN PAPERBACK! Max Brand's novels and stories-certainly among the greatest in Western fiction-are always peopled with true, realistic characters and marked by a sense of authenticity few other authors could match. Three of the best examples of this are the short novels found in this collection, each painstakingly restored to Brand's original version. The opening novel tells the tale of a legendary friendship between two men who could take on a whole saloon of tough frontiersmen, but who run into trouble with beautiful Kate Malone. "The King of Rats" features the man known as Reata, a master of the rawhide rope, a man caught between his sense of duty and his love for a gypsy girl. And in the title novel, Joseph Larrimee finally makes a gold strike that would prove his worth to his family . . . but he's willing to give it all up to rescue a mysterious woman from a gang of hardcases.
The Golden West (Book 3)by Max Brand Zane Grey Louis L'Amour Jon Tuska
When it comes to Western adventure, no author comes close to the three giants included in this landmark volume. These are the men who created the Western, shaped it, and perfected it. Now, for the first time in paperback, The Golden West collects three of their finest short novels. Max Brand's powerful Jargan is carefully restored to its original, full-length glory, with material never before seen. Tappan's Burro has long been considered one of Zane Grey's masterpieces, but only a shorter, edited version has been in print. The version included here was taken directly from Grey's actual manuscript and now appears in paperback for the first time. Louis L'Amour's The Trail to Crazy Man was rewritten years later as Crossfire Trail, which became the basis for the movie of the same name. Presented here is L'Amour's original version. These authors are the stuff of Western legend, and at last you can read their finest work as they themselves intended.
Gunman's Reckoningby Max Brand
A gunman agrees to do a rich man's dirty work in this classic Western from one of the genre's early mastersDonnegan is not proud of his past. But when words ran dry and matters could only be settled with a gun, he never hesitated to make things right. Now fate has led him to The Corner, a wide-open gold-mining town in the valley where two rivers join. An invalid by the name of Colonel Macon wants Donnegan to settle a long-standing land claim that's been taken over by outlaws. Charmed by the colonel's beautiful daughter, the gunman agrees. But nothing is as it seems in The Corner, where the line separating good from evil is so badly blurred it might not be there at all. A contemporary of Zane Grey and a major influence on Louis L'Amour, Max Brand was a true master of the Western. Gunman's Reckoning is a fine example of the moral complexity, fluid prose, and nonstop action that defines the best of his work. This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.

Mountain Ridersby Max Brand
Tom Derry owed Buck Rainey his life--twice over. When Rainey saved him from an angry bull, Tom thought that here was a good and brave man.

So he asked Tom to help get his friend Barry Christian out of jail--and out of a hanging. Tom figured that if Christian was Buck's friend, he couldn't be a murderer. And when Buck said the Jim Silver, the man who'd put Christian behind bars, was a lying, scheming killer, Tom had no reason to doubt him. So Tom helped Christian escape--and was repaid by being sent on a ride on Christian's horse, the horse whose trail Silver was tracking. When Silver caught up with him, Tom though that he was finished. But Jim Silver knew a decent man when he saw one, and let Derry go. It was then that Tom realized the truth: Christian was a killer, and if he had the chance, he would kill Silver.

Suddenly Al is caught in the middle of the Pendletons' long-standing feud with the Draytons, another local clan that has a wild, untamed stallion and has boasted it will give the horse to anyone who can ride him.

In Colorado, facing a battle with winter cold and snow, he comes upon an isolated cabin and its sole occupant, a weakened bull terrier left there to starve to death.

In the title story, "Red Fire," Paul Torridon, called White Thunder by the Cheyenne Indians, and his girlfriend, Nancy Brett, are being held prisoner by the Cheyenne because they believe he can cure illness and bring rain. While Roger Lincoln, a frontiersman who has known Torridon since the early days of his feud with the Brett clan, devises a plan for their escape, Torridon's captors take every precaution they can to keep him imprisoned, even if it means killing him rather than losing him.

Current law requires that young children riding in a vehicle be restrained in a child safety seat with a harness until such time that their shoulders are at a level that reaches above the top strap slots. When children outgrow an infant child safety seat, they should be properly restrained in a child booster seat until they have reached the age of eight years old, weigh over 80 pounds, or have reached a height of at least 4'9".
Booster seats are used for children if they are not big enough to properly use a seat belt in a car seat. Booster seats are commonly used with children between the ages of 4 to 8, who weigh between 40 and 80 pounds and are under 4'9" in height.
Regulations for Child Restraint Systems
The National Highway Safety Administration, as set forth in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard, requires specific standards and regulations for all child restraint systems manufactured and sold in the U.S., including infant carriers, harness child seats, and booster seats. In addition to passing a number of crash tests, there are specific requirements regarding the padding, materials, and restraint systems. Manufacturers are additionally required to include accurate instructional information for the booster seats, as well as provide a designated area for storage of the instruction manual with the seat. A registration card and appropriate labels must also be included.
Defective Booster Seats
Any booster seat not in compliance with federal safety standards and manufacturing requirements is subject to recall. In addition, booster seats may be recalled for a number of other reasons, including restraint strap or slot issues, defective seats, or small parts which may become dislodged from the seat and pose a choking hazard to children.
Booster Seat Injury and Death Statistics
In 2008, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) received reports of an estimated 11,700 injuries related to infant carriers and car seats, including booster seats. In addition, a total of 24 deaths were reported between 2004 and 2006, with an average of eight deaths per year related to either infant carriers or car seats. These injuries and deaths were all unrelated to motor vehicle incidents.
Booster Seat Recalls
Examples of defective booster seats that have been recalled include:
Circo Booster Seats
In August 2009, approximately 43,000 Circo Booster Seats were recalled as a result of a defective restraint buckle that is capable of opening unexpectedly. The buckle, located on the safety strap, creates a fall hazard for children and is an extreme safety hazard in the event of an automobile accident. Eight reports were received concerning this issue, three of which involving injuries to the child. The Circo Booster Seats involved in this recall were manufactured in China and sold in Target stores nationwide from December 2008 to June 2009. The seat is made of plastic and is blue with a green trim, while the safety restraint straps on the seat are white.
Safety 1st Fold-Up Booster Seats
Safety 1st recalled approximately 1.5 million Safety 1st Fold-Up Booster Seats as a result of a defect in the seat insert on the booster seat. The top part of the insert on the seat is capable of separating, which poses a fall hazard for the child. Safety 1st and the CPSC received a total of 32 reports regarding the issue, and in each of the instances, the two halves of the seat separated. Seven of the reports involved injuries to the child, including bruises, lacerations, bumps, or a fractured arm. The safety restraint system on these booster seats consists of a crotch strap and a two-piece waist strap. The blue plastic booster seat has green and red arms, and a yellow tray. "Safety 1st" appears on either side of the seat insert. The recalled seats were sold between January 1994 and August 1999 at major hardware, department, and toy stores nationwide.
Basic Comfort Galaxy Booster Seats
Basic Comfort, Inc. recalled its "Galaxy 2000" and "Galaxy 2000 With Backs" booster seats as a result of non-compliance with safety standards set forth by the National Highway Safety Administration in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. The defective backs and seat cushions were manufactured from polystyrene materials that were not correctly steam pressured during the construction process. As a result, the polystyrene beads did not properly bond and the seat backs and cushions do not withstand crash tests, causing them to completely separate from the booster seat. These booster seats were produced from November 1998 to January 1999.

Saturday, February 15, 2014 there will be a free Snow Moon night hike at the U W Arboretum. Beginning at 6:30 p.m. and lasting until 8 p.m., this hike will be led by a naturalist. Meeting place is UW-Madison Arboretum Visitor Center, 1207 Seminole Hwy, Madison. Expect snowy trails so please dress accordingly.
The Full Snow Moon is called this due to typically the heaviest snowfall occurs in February. Hunting becomes very difficult, and so some Native American tribes also called this the Hunger Moon.
Other Native American tribes called this Moon the "Shoulder to Shoulder Around the Fire Moon" (Wishram Native Americans), the "No Snow in the Trails Moon" (Zuni Native Americans), and the "Bone Moon" (Cherokee Native Americans). The Bone Moon meant that there was so little food that people gnawed on bones and ate bone marrow soup.
You may be able to hear owls hooting and other forest creatures during this hike. The U W Arboretum is located at 1207 Seminole Hwy, Madison.

Making good things happen in 'Our digital future'
Technology has come a long way since the invention of the internet, and it's having a huge impact on us all. 'Our digital future' sets out to understand how it's changing life in Britain today, and what the future may bring...
Last year Virgin Media launched 'Our digital future,' to find out how digital is changing the lives of people right across the country, and what they really think about it. We may be a telecomms company, but it's not just hardware that interests us – we know what really matters is how the web and digital technology can improve the lives and prospects of people, businesses and communities.
We kicked off by inviting around 3000 people to join the conversation about key issues in the digital world, ranging from members of the public and Virgin Media staff, to digital experts like Wiki-founder Jimmy Wales and Geoff Mulgan, CEO of NESTA, business leaders such as Martha Lane Fox, and policy makers such as Ed Vaizey, UK Minister for Culture, Communications and Creative Industries.
The digital debate can be complex and difficult to understand, and to help us to gain the very best understanding of people's views, we divided the conversation into three main categories:
- 'Your life' looked at how the web has changed every day life, from how we work to how we socialise. We heard lots of views on keeping personal data safe and online piracy, as well as some great ideas for new uses for digital.
- 'Your family' focused on family life in a digital age. Although the internet and digital technology provides some serious challenges to children and families, there are plenty of new exciting opportunities too
- 'Your UK' looked at the impact of the digital world on communities. We have new ways of spending time together and doing business, and it's changing the way communities function.
The initial externally-hosted research provided us with the robust start to the programme we needed, arming us with invaluable facts and figures gleaned from 2000 focus group and online survey participants. From these firm foundations, we designed an ongoing approach to the conversation that allowed us to include even more people in the 'Our digital future' conversation in a variety of interesting, fun and useful ways…
We hit the road on a national tour with the Big Red Box – an interactive, robot video booth where everyone could share their views with Roger the Robot – Richard Branson's very own robotic twin. Over 260 staff took part at 4 of our key Virgin Media sites, including the brand new Eagle Court in Birmingham; and over 500 members of public took part at 11 locations around the country, from Edinburgh University to a leisure centre in Colchester.
We also invited people to take part on our dedicated 'Our digital future' website. With nearly 500 comments, the site has been a hub of activity, hosting the very best digital stories from across the media, as well as interview footage, polls, and even advice on key digital issues.
To get the expert perspective, we had one-to-one conversations with over 30 experts, including political aide and broadcaster Alastair Campbell, to entrepreneur Cindy Gallop, which provided us with a wealth of valuable perspectives on the current threats and opportunities of digital, as well as experts' visions for the future. Many of the filmed interviews feature on the 'Our digital future' website, and, having amassed a considerable body of content, we will continue to post new films on the site during the coming weeks.
We have learned a huge amount from everyone who has shared their views with us. One of our key learnings, among many, is that the people of Britain are overwhelmingly positive about the impact of the internet and digital, and are optimistic about the future. Yes, people recognise that there are some serious challenges to an increasingly digital world – particularly data security and child safety; and yes, some issues, like network management, are tricky to understand, but the optimism and the excitement shine through.
What's next? Having listened to what people from every part of Britain have to say, we are now going to focus on acting on all we've heard. As well as providing a full analysis of our findings, over the coming months we will be rolling out some fantastic new initiatives to help ensure that digital makes good things happen for people, businesses and communities right across the country, and that our digital future is as brilliant as we all imagine it to be.
Watch this space...

*Audience coughs*
Okaaaay, guess that about sums it up.
Anyway, I've been searching the seven seas for a job. Why? Cause I'm broke dammit, why else x'D
Still waiting to get new recording equipment so instead of rolling about and doing nothing (a.k.a. working on my newest full-length novel to be submitted at the end of the year), I decided to start a creative rush.
What is a creative rush? I dunno, I would like to say I thought of it while I was high, but you know I don't get high (my nickname is Priest for that reason--don't touch alcohol, drugs, cigarettes or dice [gambling for those who might be wondering how I manage to play D&D])
In any case, a creative rush is basically a rapid set of submissions with VERY little editing. It's basically a raw form of creativity contrary to the proper releases. Honestly, I have no idea where it's going or what in the hell I'm trying to achieve but such considerations belong to men of sanity.
You all already know that I'm pretty much insane, so let the randomness begin *Flees into the night*
Oh and remember, YEW ARE A PIRATE: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMhfbL…

Many question the accuracy of that date as it falls on a Wednesday instead of Tuesday, which has become the traditional release day for major game launches in North America. European launches usually occur later in the same week, often on Friday. The fact that the screenshot is in French adds another layer of ambiguity, as November 2 might be the EU launch while it's actually scheduled to land in the US on Tuesday, November 1. But again, this is all speculation.
As one of 2011's most anticipated PC titles, it goes without saying that we're pretty excited about Battlefield 3. DICE is developing the game in its new Frostbite 2.0 engine and has promised that the PC version is receiving the most attention. Battlefield 3 reportedly features co-op gameplay, four classes, non-superficial character customizations, more unlockables than Battlefield: Bad Company 2, as well as improved level destruction, character animations and war sounds.

Mukesh Chand Mathur (Hindi: मुकेश चन्द माथुर) (22 July 1923 27 August 1976) was an Indian playback singer of Bollywood. Along with Mohammad Rafi, Manna Dey, Kishore Kumar, he dominated Indian film playback music from the 1950s to the 1970s.
Mukesh's voice was noticed by Motilal (a popular actor in Hindi films, also a distant relative of Mukesh) when he sang at his sister's wedding. Motilal took him to Bombay, let him stay with him and even arranged for singing lessons by pandit jagannath prasad for him. During this period, Mukesh managed to bag a role in a Hindi film, Nirdosh (Innocent) (1941). His first song was dil hi bujha hua ho to as an actor singer for Nirdosh. He got his break as a playback singer for Actor Motilal himself in 1945 with the film Pehli Nazar'music by Anil Biswas & Lyrics by Aah Sitapuri' (First Look). The first song he sang for a Hindi film was Dil Jalta Hai to Jalne De (If the heart burns, let it burn), which was incidentally picturised on Motilal.
Mukesh died of a heart attack on 27 August 1976 in Detroit, Michigan, USA, where he had gone for a concert. His body was carried back to India by Lata Mangeshkar, where a grand funeral ceremony took place as many famous actors, personalities of the Indian film industry, and fans paid tribute to the late singer. When the news of his death reached Raj Kapoor, he remarked, "I have lost my voice," which is a testimony to the timeless and unforgettable association of Mukesh's voice (in playback) to the immensely popular songs of Raj Kapoor's films.

Lata Mangeshkar (Marathi: लता मंगेशकर; born September 28, 1929) is a singer from India. She is one of the best-known playback singers in the Hindi film industry. Mangeshkar's career started in 1942 and has spanned over six and a half decades. She sang in over a thousand Bollywood movies and has sung songs in over twenty regional Indian languages, but primarily in Hindi. She is the elder sister of the equally accomplished singer Asha Bhosle and lesser-known singers, brother Hridayanath Mangeshkar and sisters Usha Mangeshkar and Meena Mangeshkar. Lata is the second vocalist ever to have received the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian honour.
Mangeshkar was featured in the Guinness Book of World Records from 1974 to 1991 for having made the most recordings in the world.
Lata Mangeshkar has won several awards and honors, including Padma Bhushan (1969), Padma Vibhushan (1999), Dada Saheb Phalke Award (1989), NTR National Award (1999), Bharat Ratna (2001), three National Film Awards, and 12 Bengal Film Journalists' Association Awards. She has also won four Filmfare Best Female Playback Awards. In 1969, she made the unusual gesture of giving up the Filmfare Best Female Playback Award, in order to promote fresh talent. She was later awarded Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award in 1993.
Lata Mangeshkar monopolized the best female playback singer award from 1958 to 1966. In 1969, Lata made the unusual gesture of giving up Filmfare awards in order to promote fresh talent...........

National Post ·
James Heilman, a Moose Jaw, Sask., emergency physician, is coming under international fire this week for posting copies of the Rorschach inkblots to the Wikipedia entry describing the famous personality test. Ironically, this is a perfect example of how, much as a Rorschach test is meant to spontaneously reveal the content and functioning of a testee's mind, Wikipedia and its controversies have a persistent habit of revealing reactions to the pervasive digitalization of the world. Images of the Rorschach blots have been published before, most notably in William Poundstone's 1983 book Big Secrets, which included a thumbnail guide to cheating on the test. That has not stopped psychologists from complaining that Heilman's actions are likely to negate the test's validity by making cheating easier.
Given Wikipedia's popularity, they certainly have something of a point. But highly motivated cheaters have been able to find "keys" and hints relevant to the test for an awfully long time, armed with nothing more than a library card. The cat, in short, is damn well out of the bag. Dr. Heilman is merely demonstrating this fact; indeed, that appears to be the point of his puckish exercise.
I have fond memories of Poundstone's Big Secrets, which discussed pop-culture enigmas of the '80s like Scientology, David Copperfield's magic tricks and the secret formulas of Coca-Cola and Kentucky Fried Chicken. It is very much a pre-Internet book, a book that could not be successful now. Poundstone's research is a commodity whose price has plunged through the floor, to the general great benefit of humankind; the years he put into gathering his information would now take minutes. Literally all the "big secrets" in the book have sites, or indeed sprawling empires of informed speculation and analysis, devoted to them on the Internet.
The net is poison to secrets and "inside information"; it's a universal solvent that erodes barriers to information immediately, whenever they are erected. Scientific practices and business models like the Rorschach test, which rely on such barriers in the long term, are doomed.
It is probably no great loss. Critics of Heilman complain that "decades" of research will have to be abandoned if the Rorschach test becomes impossible to use. But most of this research has been shown, in the last 20 years, to be flapdoodle. As soon as the test became popular -- so much so that it became a staple of comedy routines about Freudian psychotherapists, along with couches and thick German accents -- it had critics who pointed out that there was little or no statistically validated basis for its interpretation. After the psychiatric profession got around to trying to establish such a basis -- and this happened disgracefully late in history -- there was little or nothing left of what had once been perceived as the broad general usefulness of the Rorschach.
Much of the folklore that had grown up around specific elements of the test had to be thrown in the trash. It appears to have modest predictive or diagnostic power for a few very specific aspects of personality, and even this surviving foundation is shaky. Yet supporters gave, and some are still giving, the same indignant defences that pseudoscience always receives. Interpreting responses to Rorschach blots is more "art" than "science," they have insisted. (The mating call of the quack.) Only those who are intimately familiar with the test -- i. e., those who believe in it and have come to depend on it -- are really qualified to judge whether it "works."
But can the thousands of psychologists and psychiatrists who have considered the Rorschach test a useful item in the healing toolbox for generations really all have been wrong? Keep in mind that the same practitioners were eagerly recommending and performing lobotomies throughout the same period, and you have your answer.
Heilman's remonstrators point out that other psychological tests, of equal antiquity and much greater validity, might be similarly threatened if his outing of the Rorschach blots were to provide a Wikipedia precedent. (The blots will remain on the site until Thursday, while editors debate Heilman's action.) But the Rorschach test is uniquely vulnerable, because unlike later, copyrighted personality tests, it has slipped into the public domain because of a quirk of chronology. First published in 1921, the test is just barely behind the 1923 cutoff for U. S. copyright protection.
In Rorschach's native Switzerland, it was liberated from copyright 70 years after Hermann Rorschach's death at age 37 from a burst appendix -- which happened in April 1922, almost immediately after he devised and published the inkblots. His untimely death is probably responsible in part for inspiring colleagues to propagate his final legacy as a therapist. But if he had lived an ordinary lifespan, the test would now probably have been removed from Wikipedia immediately with no questions asked.

Staff is very accommodating about any request. Constant grooming to the premises keeps them looking very good. Read More Having the opportunity to have gas heat in the winter makes those utility bills much better. The appliances are new and kept in good shape. It's great to have a swim pool in the summer and a fitness room at any time.It's a lovely quiet atmosphere. My friends who visit often comment on the fact that it is so quiet. It is well priced for it's amenities.

I know and understand that this is apartment living, but I live on an end unit with the stairs for the upstair Read Mores unit on the outside of my living room wall. Every time that the residents go in and up or down the stairs it sounds like a herd of elephants going up the stairs. The construction on the staircases and floors above the apartments could have been better constructed for sound muffling. Other than that, no other problems.

I had to move.... the people who lived behind me were heavy smokers and the smoke came in my apartment... I'm Read Moreallergic, have breast cancer (cannot be exposed to unnecessary carcinogen��??s) , and can't stand the disgusting smell. Their character was rather unsavory and I was uncomfortable being near them......

To tweeze or not to tweeze?
Mon, 04/04/2005 - 21:55
I have an awesome pair of tweezers and I like to keep myself well-groomed. Am I going to be able to bring this onto an airplane? Another thing I'm wondering is if I can bring my hair straightener (doesn't take much room and is great for fixing my hair in 5 min)? Can I buy adapters here, and if so, how will that affect my straightener? I know this sounds very vain, and i'm really not going to pack much, but there's just some stuff that a girl can't do without!
Tue, 04/05/2005 - 00:52#1
Why dont you just do what you do with your tweezers before you get on the plane and pack the tweezers in your suitcase. I know I would be pretty disgusted if the person next to me was sitting there plucking there eyebrows. And besides how long does a hair grow over 1 day!!
In regards to your straightner, there are alot of post on here about that, see the massive one above this one. I dont use one, but if i had to I would be taking it!
Tue, 04/05/2005 - 04:12#2
I used my straightener overseas and it worked the same with an adapter as it did without one. Im sure you can buy them here but they can be pricey and bulky. Also makes sure you tak the right adapter with you depending on where you're going because the outlets are different in europe and asia for example
Tue, 04/05/2005 - 05:12#3
You probably won't be allowed to take tweezers on the plane anyway.
Tue, 04/05/2005 - 06:56#4
Well, I definitely don't tweeze in front of people =O) I'll be gone for 3 weeks. I think I'll leave those home and take a pair a wouldn't mind security taking from me. Thanks for your responses!
Tue, 04/05/2005 - 16:27#5
I can't speak for the tweezers, as I usually put them in my checked bag, but I think you will be fine with the hair straightener for 3 weeks. When I took mine with me (from the U.S. to Europe), I was AMAZED by how much better they work over there! My straightener heated up in about 30 seconds and even though I had it on the lowest setting (I have thick hair and usually keep it on the highest setting) it got super hot and straightened my hair in no time flat. If it takes you 5 mins. to do your hair here, you'll be in heaven in Europe! Have a great trip!
Tue, 04/05/2005 - 22:28#6
hmmm…maybe I can check if my straightener has a warranty. HAHA! It doesn't have temperature settings so I don't know if that might be a problem. Oh well..
Wed, 04/06/2005 - 08:32#7
You must have a pretty robust hair straightener, coco. In general, if you plug a 110V hair straightener into 220V socket with no step down transformer or a 50 W step down transformer (the little ones), you will fry your unit. That is why it heated up so quickly. You're lucky.
My advice to himee is to buy a dual voltage hair straightener in the US. Then all you will need is a plug adapter(s) and no transformer. If you try what coco did, you probably will not be so lucky.
Thu, 04/07/2005 - 12:21#8
I would not take the tweezers with you in a carry on they will be taken away 100 % I speak from experience. So check them.
Sun, 04/10/2005 - 20:39#9
I am travelling abroad this summer and had some of the same concerns.. thanks for the tips
Fri, 04/15/2005 - 16:17#10
Conair does sell a mini travel straightener for about $15. Its ceramic but i don't know how well it works. It uses one of those butane things and is about one inch. I have corse hair so i'll probably end up bringing my regular one(Bio Ionic) cause i don't know if the travel mini one is strong enough. It might be good for touch ups though, in case of humid cities.
Fri, 04/15/2005 - 17:13#11
Why not just leave the straightner at home and just walk around with frizzies or curls, like all the rest of the backpackers you'll meet?
Honestly, things that are essential at home like hairdryers, curling irons, straightening irons, hair products, etc. are just silly while backpacking.
Fri, 04/15/2005 - 17:45#12
Both Conair and Vidal Sassoon market dual voltage straighteners. If you absolutely, positively can't live without a straightener buy a dual voltage one and take an adapter plug. However, learning to live without the straightener is definitely the prefered option for a backpacker.
BTW — I'm not sure you can take those butane cartridges for the travel straighteners on the plane anymore — either as carry on or checked, so find that out for sure before you buy one.
Sat, 04/16/2005 - 00:35#13
I've decided to do the wavy hair while I'm there. I think that would be the easiest option for me. Thanks everyone!

Segacs, I am sorry but I completely disagree with you about this issue. If you are the kind of girl that likes to look good, getting on a plane and landing on another continent is not going to all of a sudden have an effect on your brain and change your character. You don't have to walk around looking like a beauty queen but if looking nice is your thing, trust me, you will want to look nice over there the same as you do while back home. I never understand why people swear that you will just not care how you look while traveling. I think if you are the kind of person that is not so much into their hair and make-up, etc. then yes, it would make sense that you would not travel with beauty supplies. However, if you are the kind of girl that does care, do yourself a favor and take the supplies that make you feel good. The worst thing that could happen is walking around a wonderful city and feeling not yourself. Do what you usually do and enjoy Europe!
P.S. There is ways to look great and pack light. Just buy travel size supplies and take your absolute essentials. If while there you feel as another lipstick would add to your day, there is tons of cool make-up stores over there. Plus, it would make for a nice souvenier ;o)
Tue, 05/03/2005 - 10:19#15
I was just reading the past conversations and I have to bring a curling Iron. Where can you get the adaptor in the US for your flat Irons?
Tue, 05/03/2005 - 10:49#16
Check your flat iron carefully, look for words that say something like "Input: 110V-240V" or something along those lines. The numbers are important because North American electricity is 110V and European is usually 220V.
If your flat iron has a wide enough input range to cover both, all you need is a plug adaptor, which you can easily pick up at any travel store, AAA, sometimes even Wal-Mart or places like that. They're small and no big deal. By the way, most of Europe needs one kind of adaptor but the UK and some other places use another configuration; you might want to pick up a universal adaptor kit (available in the same places).
If, however, your flat iron only accepts North American current, then you would need a voltage converter to use it in Europe. Converters are bulky, heavy, and they rarely work very well; you have a pretty good chance of breaking your appliance and even a risk of causing an electrical fire. I personally wouldn't bother bringing an appliance that needs a converter; if you must take a flat iron, buy one in Europe or buy one in the US that will work with European electricity.

AS Nicoleg wrote " don't tweeze on planes" as well as buses or trains – it is rude to groom yourself in public places. Would you like some guy cutting his toenails next to you? – Also, please don't paint your fingernails on the planes, buses or trains. Do to lack of fresh air the fumes are toxic and there is bad enough body oders to effect you for life. Please be considerate.
Wed, 05/04/2005 - 11:35#18
THanks for the advise- Hopefully it will be that easy in purchasing the Iron- i don't think that I would get one in Europe because of the cost however.
Fri, 05/20/2005 - 16:02#19
lol i love how there is a topic by someone like me! i too am a bit high maintance in things like hair (but the weird thing is i could go 5 days without bathing gross i know). i love my hair straightener and my tweezers so i will definitly bring those when traveling and leave my hair dryer at all since i hardly use it anyway. i would check with the airlines on if you could bring tweezers. you could just tweeze before you go to the airport though same with straghtening your hair. people here will hate me. i pluck my eyebrows in my car if the light is red. i honestly dont care if people see that. i also have given myself a facial on a flight from new york to rome but i did it like at 2 am when hardly anyone was awake. i would love to meet a fellow girl who would want to give facials and stuff on airplanes lol.
Sat, 05/21/2005 - 23:14#20
Okay people….I have ignored the comments made on this topic but I feel it's time I redeem myself. First, I never said I groom in public. Secondly, I am not high maintenance. My eyebrows grow fast so I have to pluck every 5 days or so. I have a straightener and a tweezer. But I also generally get ready in about 25 minutes, including shower. Quit misconstruing my words. Thanks to those of you who helped by giving me a serious response. =O)
Sun, 05/22/2005 - 00:13#21
HI hieeme. i didnt mean to offend you at all. i just thought you were like me who is a bit of a "girlie girl". i guess i am the only gg backpacker who is a minority among backpackers.
Sun, 05/22/2005 - 23:00#22
well, i'm not a total butch either! haha I just hate it when people come to the conclusion that one is so rediculous and vain because you asked a simple grooming question hehe. I can be girly, trust me!
Sat, 05/28/2005 - 22:24#23
To Hieeme2
I'm glad U decided to be yourself. So if U have wavy hair, but are also low mainteinance that can be ready in 25 mins including shower, and still look good and be girly… U can do whatever, U're one in a million !!! By the way, Would U marry me ???

Upware, Comcast's online marketplace, boosts businesses by taking guesswork out of business apps
By Ray Child, Sr. Director, External Affairs/Public Relations - Comcast Mountain Region
When it comes to running a small business, there is never enough money, time or staff. Luckily, in this information age, there are solutions that help make up for running lean. Small businesses can't compete with the budgets or staff of large companies, but they can use innovative technology to make life easier.
It takes a lot of hard work to grow a small business, and it's much easier to focus on building a business when things like data security and cloud collaboration are taken care of.
In a world with so many tech options, it can be difficult to sort out the quality services from the noise. With a small business to run, and time being poured into other efforts, cloud-based apps can save a lot of time. The cloud removes the hassle and cost involved in running servers and software, and shifts the technology burden to the provider.
Cloud-based apps should not become just another worry for small business owners. Using the cloud means maintenance-free services on anything from backing up data to storing email. The business pays for the services they use, and the provider makes everything run smoothly. And, because there aren't any hardware costs involved, services are easily scaled up and down, according to whatever a business needs.
To save money and avoid stress, many small businesses are turning to the efficiency and ease of cloud technology to help run the company. As demand grows for cloud-based computing, providers are also growing to meet demand. Unfortunately, not every provider is created equal, and the vendors who deliver top-notch services are competing with those that are sub-par.
In order to help small businesses quickly and simply decide what company is right for them, Comcast Business, a leading provider of high-speed Internet, launched Upware in February. Upware addresses the three main challenges small businesses have when it comes to the cloud: selecting the right service, managing it and getting quick and effective support. It helps business owners find vendors that understand what small businesses need, takes the stress out of management and gives business owners the support if troubleshooting is needed, because entrepreneurs should be focusing on their businesses instead of worrying about technology.
Upware represents a best-in-class collection of cloud-based services that cover online data backup, security and anti-virus, and collaboration and file management applications. They include Carbonite® and MozyPro® for online data backup; Norton™ and DigitalSafe® for security and anti-virus; and Box, Soonr Workplace®, Hightail™ and Microsoft® (hosted Microsoft collaboration and file management tools such as Outlook and SharePoint).
Upware makes it simple to choose from carefully selected cloud services by curating the best providers. It also features customer reviews, detailed product descriptions and free trials to help small business owners as they make decisions about which vendor to select.
Even better than helping decide what vendor to go with, Upware has made managing cloud services a breeze. There's no more wrangling with user accounts for each employee – a daunting task if a company has even 15 employees using four different services.
Instead of creating an administrative tangle by managing 60 or more accounts, not to mention having to take the time to update accounts each time an employee joins or leaves the company, Upware gives employees a single login for all of their applications (accessed quickly through the "My Apps" tray on their screen). Administrators have an Upware dashboard that gives them a comprehensive view of all services and the users assigned to them so they can manage all accounts and change permissions as needed.
And if there are any hiccups along the way, Comcast is the point of contact for Upware-related issues. With this enhanced support, business owners no longer have to hunt through notes or email archives for the correct customer support number. Now Comcast Business will do a top-level diagnosis to assess where the problem is and make further recommendations if needed.
Business owners not only save time and money in the beginning, but as new top-tier applications come to market Upware will add the best of the best, ensuring entrepreneurs are focused on what they do best instead of struggling to keep up with every new provider that comes to market.

Chirgwin, J; Sun, Z; Smith, I; Price, K N; Thürlimann, B; Ejlertsen, B; Bonnefoi, H; Regan, M M; Goldhirsch, A; Coates, A S (2012). The advantage of letrozole over tamoxifen in the BIG 1-98 trial is consistent in younger postmenopausal women and in those with chemotherapy-induced menopause.

Letrozole, an aromatase inhibitor, is ineffective in the presence of ovarian estrogen production. Two subpopulations of apparently postmenopausal women might derive reduced benefit from letrozole due to residual or returning ovarian activity: younger women (who have the potential for residual subclinical ovarian estrogen production), and those with chemotherapy-induced menopause who may experience return of ovarian function. In these situations tamoxifen may be preferable to an aromatase inhibitor. Among 4,922 patients allocated to the monotherapy arms (5 years of letrozole or tamoxifen) in the BIG 1-98 trial we identified two relevant subpopulations: patients with potential residual ovarian function, defined as having natural menopause, treated without adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy and age ≤ 55 years (n = 641); and those with chemotherapy-induced menopause (n = 105). Neither of the subpopulations examined showed treatment effects differing from the trial population as a whole (interaction P values are 0.23 and 0.62, respectively). Indeed, both among the 641 patients aged ≤ 55 years with natural menopause and no chemotherapy (HR 0.77 [0.51, 1.16]) and among the 105 patients with chemotherapy-induced menopause (HR 0.51 [0.19, 1.39]), the disease-free survival (DFS) point estimate favoring letrozole was marginally more beneficial than in the trial as a whole (HR 0.84 [0.74, 0.95]). Contrary to our initial concern, DFS results for young postmenopausal patients who did not receive chemotherapy and patients with chemotherapy-induced menopause parallel the letrozole benefit seen in the BIG 1-98 population as a whole. These data support the use of letrozole even in such patients.

In the future, the nuclear threat is less likely from a massive nuclear attack, but more likely from crude devices, such as dirty bombs perpetrated by an individual or group of terrorists. Detection and prevention of these nuclear devices are critical to the safety and security of the general population. In general, the research of detecting various radioactive sources using individual sensors has been well established in terms of both detection devices and detection methods, most of which are dedicated to single or co-located sensor systems. Large monitoring systems at choke points (e.g. commercial airports and harbors) can prevent the entry or exit of nuclear sources. However, it cannot protect a perimeter that spans a large area, such as land and sea borders. Furthermore, in many practical scenarios, it is desirable to detect low-level radiation and identify low-level radioactive sources. Recent advances in sensor network technologies have opened up the potential for improved detection, as well as the estimation of source parameters, by utilizing measurements from multiple, geographically dispersed sensors. Different from the existing works on radiation detection using sensor networks, in this paper, we focus on the quickest detection method that would identify nuclear radiation as soon as possible after it occurs, while keep the false alarm rate low. Specifically, we propose that each sensor performs a nonparametric version of the Page's Cumulative Sum (CUSUM) test based on its local measurements, since the occurrence of the nuclear radiation is unpredictable and we assume that we do not have prior knowledge of the adversary (e.g., who carries a dirty bomb). Then the local decisions from multiple sensors are sent to a fusion center for combining and a final decision is made. We present numerical results to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme using the experimental measurements from a COTS detectors in our lab.
