text: From: Lynn Dixon ------------------------------------------------------ Stephen, Someone previously in this thread had mentioned something about bitcoin hardware "scam" which is what spurred my reply. In response to you, I take no offense. But I would challenge your statement of "... the whole 'I've made a huge profit from Bitcoins, it works for me' is literally what you will hear people say in pyramid scams." with this: Have you done any transactions involving bitcoins? If not, then we would be at a stalemate since, in my opinion, your statement would have no gravitas since you had no experience with the currency, and I would consider it mere opinion. I have always heard this about opinions "Opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one, and they all stink except your own". If you or anyone else have made a few transaction using Bitcoin, I would be happy to debate. I would also be happy to hear any reports and reviews of anyone using the currency, even if those reports were unfavorable.

CALCUTTA - A Gipner Street man whose pet goat was killed on his property a week ago is concerned that it could just as easily have been a child or elderly person which fell prey to the marauding wolf-dog that ultimately had to be shot by St. Clair Township police.
James Davis was at work more than an hour away just before 7:30 a.m. last Friday when his frantic girlfriend called him to report one of his three pet goats, Calli, was being attacked by either wolves, coyotes or large dogs.
"She didn't know what to do. They got (the goat) at the back porch and dragged it 100- to 150-feet past the goat pen," Davis recalled, saying his girlfriend began screaming at the attacking animals, beating on the walls in an attempt to distract them, and calling 911.
Meanwhile, Davis' other two goats, Boots and Zana, had run off when the first goat was grabbed.
"If my girlfriend hadn't been here, I can't imagine what I would have come home to," Davis admitted.
When township officers arrived on the scene, their first report at 7:34 a.m. was that dogs were "eating at a goat."
Calls were made to the county dog warden, but at 7:54 a.m., three shots were fired by Patrolman Scott Mick, who reported one of the attacking animals was dead, while the others ran off.
Davis said this week he was advised by police that the animal they shot had turned aggressively toward Mick, but that policy did not allow him to shoot the others since they had not turned on him.
The previous night, township police had responded to a call of two wolves being seen near the intersection of Annesley Road and state Route 267, but an investigating officer did not run across them at that time.
In recent months, other police radio traffic has indicated officers in Liverpool Township were called to investigate roaming wolves in the Irish Ridge and state Route 267 area.
Whether or not these were the same animals is unknown.
Police Chief Don Hyatt said it was his understanding the animal shot by Patrolman Mick was a full-blooded wolf, but the other two were wolf hybrids. He was not immediately aware of the owners' names, and Mick could not be reached for comment Thursday.
A spokesman at the dog warden's office said earlier this week that the animal shot was a wolf hybrid and that it was licensed as such. She said its owner did not own the other dogs involved that day.
Although Davis reported a deputy dog warden who arrived on the scene just before 9 a.m. took the carcass of the dead wolf hybrid, the spokesman said, "We did not take the dog."
The spokesman said she believed the dog warden had spoken to the owner of the wolf hybrid but not to Davis and that the owner had not been cited.
"The owner is making arrangements to make restitution (to Davis)," she said.
However, Davis said that, while he suspects who owns the animal that killed his goat, he isn't sure and no one has contacted him.
"These animals are harmless. These are pets, not livestock. My daughter got them 10 years ago; she just graduated college. I'm hurt inside. Shouldn't I at least get an apology?" he asked, standing near the freshly-dug grave of Callie as Boots and Zana grazed nearby.
He said the surviving goats have been skittish since the incident.
While he has a chain-link pen and dog houses for the goats, Davis admitted they often run at large, but never leave his property. Saying he often hears coyotes in the woods surrounding his home, he said, "I've been here 22 years. They just roam around here. I always thought (the coyotes might attack the goats), but I never thought it would be someone's pets that did it."
Mainly, Davis is concerned that what happened to his pet could happen to a child or an elderly person if they happen upon these animals, if they continue to roam at large.
The dog warden could not be reached Thursday afternoon for more information, including the wolf hybrid's owner's name.
Wolf hybrids result from a mating between a wolf and a dog. According to an online legal firm Keller & Keller, there are currently about 1 million wolf hybrids in the United States.
Online statistics from DogsBite.org reported that, between 1982 and 2011, wolf hybrids were responsible for 84 incidents of bodily harm, 19 deaths and 48 maimings. They compose .001 percent of the nation's dog population.
In comparison, the statistics indicated pit bull terriers, which constitute .033 percent of the nation's dog population were responsible for 1,970 incidents of bodily harm, 207 deaths and 1,093 maimings.
German shepherd dogs accounted for 89 incidents of bodily harm, 12 deaths and 54 maimings, making up .014 percent of the nation's dog population.
In all three breeds, children were the primary victims.

Dixie Chicks
Share This
Formed in 1989 as a Western-themed bluegrass band,
the Dixie Chicks
eventually became one of the most popular acts in contemporary country music, as well as the highest-selling female group in America. Beginning with 1998's
Wide Open Spaces
, they struck a balance between the commercial, radio-ready aesthetic of country-pop and the rootsy sound of neo-traditionalist country, a combination that helped distinguish the trio from such concurrent stars as
Shania Twain
The Dixie Chicks
further distanced themselves from country's conservative boundaries as their career progressed, although their outspoken beliefs -- specifically
Natalie Maines
' open criticism of the war in Iraq, which ignited a backlash in 2003 -- were sometimes voiced to the detriment of the band's sales. Nevertheless,
the Dixie Chicks
remained a compelling band in concert and on record, boasting three-part harmonies and an instrumental prowess that was virtually unparalleled among similar groups.
Emily Erwin
were raised in Addison, Texas, a suburban town on the northern edge of Dallas. Both girls showed a talent for stringed instruments at an early age, with
mastering the fiddle and
learning the five-string banjo. Following their high-school graduation,
the Erwins
joined bassist
Laura Lynch
and guitarist
Robin Lynn Macy
to form
the Dixie Chicks
, whose name was modeled after the
Little Feat
song "Dixie Chicken." The group originally promoted a classic cowgirl image, wearing rhinestone-studded regalia and honing a mix of traditional country, folk, and bluegrass; the bandmembers even paid homage to
Roy Rogers
' cowgirl co-star/wife on their independent debut, 1990's
Thank Heavens for Dale Evans
. As the decade progressed, however, the group's image and sound became more contemporary, often bridging the gap between country and pop music.
The move toward a more contemporary sound began with 1992's
Little Ol' Cowgirl
, a transitional record whose new direction (aided in part by the contributions of several sidemen, including steel guitar legend
Lloyd Maines
) resulted in
's departure. With
now handling lead vocals, the remaining trio resurfaced in 1993 with
Shouldn't a Told You That
. They signed with Sony's newly revived Monument imprint in 1995, but
left the group shortly thereafter -- according to a December 10, 1998, feature in The Dallas Observer, both she and
were victims of
the Erwins
' desire to foster a more youthful image. Soon named as
's replacement was 21-year-old lead vocalist
Natalie Maines
Lloyd Maines
' able-voiced daughter.
The lineup switch brought with it a new contemporary wardrobe and an equally modernized country sound; still, few predicted the massive success of
the Dixie Chicks
' 1998 major-label debut,
Wide Open Spaces
. After the leadoff single "I Can Love You Better" became the group's first Top Ten country hit, both "There's Your Trouble" and the winsome title track rose to the top of the Hot Country Songs chart.
Wide Open Spaces
went quadruple platinum within its first year and eventually became the best-selling group album in country music history, earning a slew of Grammy and CMA awards along the way.
followed in 1999, immediately returning
the Dixie Chicks
to the upper reaches of the country charts with the lead single "Ready to Run." Another smash hit was "Goodbye Earl," which spun the tale of an abusive husband who died at the hands of his vengeful wife. Although the lyrics owed a good deal to black comedy, "Goodbye Earl" (as well as another song, "Sin Wagon," whose lyrics touched upon
' desire to "do a little mattress dancing") proved that
the Dixie Chicks
didn't always adhere to the conservative ideals of their country fan base. This outspoken attitude initially contributed to their success, but
' future comments about
President George W. Bush
would plunge the band into controversy in later years.
The Dixie Chicks
were now genuine superstars, and they joined the likes of
Mary J. Blige
, and
Celine Dion
for the filming of VH1's
Divas Show
in 2002. Three months later, they were back in the game with the release of their sixth album, which eschewed the polished sound of the girls' recent work for a nostalgic, bluegrass-based style.
marked the girls' first release on their own Sony imprint, Open Wide Records; it also gave them their first two Top Ten hits on the pop charts with "Long Time Gone" and "Landslide" (a stirring cover of the
Fleetwood Mac
Top of the World Tour: Live
and its accompanying DVD arrived in 2003, capturing the band's strength as a live act.
However, the Top of the World Tour also marked a turning point for the band. On opening night in London,
Natalie Maines
spoke out against the Iraq War, stating that the girls were ashamed to share their home state with
President Bush
. Many American fans lashed out in response, and
the Dixie Chicks
watched as country radio boycotted their latest album. Released in 2006,
Taking the Long Way
dealt with that backlash (which included death threats, group protests, and a chilly reception at the 2003 ACM Awards) with songs like "Not Ready to Make Nice," which won three Grammy Awards and helped reestablish the group as a commercial force. The album itself netted an additional two Grammys, and "Not Ready to Make Nice" earned
the Dixie Chicks
their highest peak to date on the pop charts.
Taking the Long Way
only sold two million copies in America, though -- a commercial letdown compared to the band's three previous albums -- and
the Dixie Chicks
temporarily disappeared after the 2007 Grammy Awards.
For several years, things were quiet in
the Dixie Chicks
' camp. Sisters Emily Robison and Martie Maguire eventually formed a new band, the Court Yard Hounds, and began making plans for an album release and accompanying tour. In March 2010, however,
the Dixie Chicks
announced a string of summer concerts alongside the Eagles and Keith Urban, prompting the Court Yard Hounds to cancel their own tour. In September 2006, at the end of the frenzied media tour for the release of the
Taking the Long Way
the Dixie Chicks
had recorded an intimate live set at the Los Angeles Theater as part of VH1's
series, and the performance was finally released on DVD and Blu-ray in 2011, further illustrating the trio's strength as a live act.

After a successful weekend at home, garnering wins over ETSU and USC Upstate, the Stetson men's basketball team returns to the road to challenge Kennesaw State on Thursday. The Hatters and the Owls are scheduled to tip-off at 7:00 p.m. on ESPN3.
While Stetson has enjoyed much success at home this season, compiling a 5-3 record, the Hatters are still without a road win in 2013-14. Stetson is 0-8 in true road contests and 0-3 in neutral court games away from the Edmunds Center.
Stetson moved into sixth place in the Atlantic Sun Conference standings with a 3-4 record after its 77-73 overtime-win over Upstate on Saturday. The Hatters have won two straight and will look for their first three-game winning streak of the season against the Owls.
The Hatters hold a 9-7 advantage over Kennesaw State in the all-time series, which dates back to a 73-57 Owl victory in DeLand back in 2006. Stetson has won the last four meetings between the two teams, sweeping the season series each of the last two years.
Kennesaw State welcomes Stetson to DeLand with an overall record of 4-16 and a league mark of 1-6. The Owls picked up their lone A-Sun win in a 68-58 triumph over USC Upstate at home on Jan. 6. KSU has fallen to North Florida, Jacksonville, ETSU, Mercer, Lipscomb, and Northern Kentucky along the way.
Thursday's contest will be featured exclusively on ESPN3 with Nathan McCreary and Brian Katric on the call. Fans can also listen to the game on WSBB AM 1230, WTJV AM 1490, and online at MyAM1230.com with Robbie Aaron on the call.
Live Stats, the @StetsonMBB Twitter feed, and Hat-Alerts are also available for in-game updates on Thursday night.

The head of the agency that oversees the Ohio Statehouse is upset about a bill approved by the General Assembly and signed into law last week by Gov. John Kasich. The measure calls for a memorial to victims of the Holocaust, on the Statehouse grounds.
Richard H. Finan, president of the Capitol Square Review and Advisory Board, is upset his agency was not consulted about the proposal.
Finan has specific concerns, including where the memorial is to be placed, above an underground parking garage. The structure was "not built to withstand that kind of thing," he explained.
In addition, Finan has questioned whether the Holocaust memorial would fit in with the Civil War-era appearance of the Statehouse.
Obviously, Finan's agency should have been consulted. And his concern about whether the parking garage structure can bear the weight of the memorial should be investigated.
Another cause for worry is that other groups will come forward seeking memorials of other types at the Statehouse.
Finally, Finan's concern about the historic look of the Statehouse is genuine - and entirely understandable.
For all that, however, the memorial should be erected. As Kasich explained it, it would be an appropriate reminder of "man's inhumanity to man, best exemplified in the Holocaust."
A memorial that would not look out of place can be designed. A better site on the Statehouse grounds can be found, if necessary. Requests for other memorials in the future can be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
We can think of few as important, significant, appropriate and necessary as a reminder to Ohioans of the horror that was the Holocaust. Some Ohioans - those who helped liberate German concentration camps and the few remaining survivors of the Nazi pogrom - understand what happened all too well. But for many, it is just a few pages in history books. Ohioans should erect the memorial to ensure the Holocaust never is forgotten.

PUNXSUTAWNEY -- The world's most famous groundhog is predicting an early spring.
Punxsutawney Phil emerged at 7:28 a.m. today at his home on Gobbler's Knob, and flanked by his "Inner Circle" of handlers and in front of the usual 10,000 frozen fans, he did not see his shadow, meaning we could be in for an early spring.
Had Phil seen his shadow, it would have meant six more weeks of winter.
It was only the 16th time in the 116th year of the storied tradition that Phil did not see his shadow. He's been correct 39 percent of the time.
Phil posed for some pictures afterward but was not available for comment, perhaps because of the weather: It was only 2 degrees.
The Mirror will have more coverage in Sunday's print edition.

The appointment of an 18-year City Hall veteran to be Mayor Byron W. Brown's top financial adviser was greeted with a standing ovation Tuesday in Common Council Chambers.
Donna J. Estrich, who rose through the civil service ranks, was sworn in by Council President Richard A. Fontana as commissioner of administration, finance, policy and urban affairs following a unanimous confirmation vote of the Council.
Estrich, 57, replaces Janet E. Penksa, who left City Hall to be executive director at the Jacobs Institute, an innovative startup on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus.
In a brief statement to the Council, Estrich stressed the importance of collaboration.
Estrich was upbeat about city finances during a later interview, noting ongoing economic development projects and the property tax freeze instituted by Brown, which will hold for at least another year.
The appointment occurs a week after an annual report on the fiscal year that ended June 30 was released by Comptroller Mark J.F. Schroeder. The report found that a $16.3 million budget gap was filled in with money from the fund balance, and it warns against continuing to use the fund balance, as it has done the last three years, which Estrich said the administration understands.
"We can't continue to use that, and we have to be smarter with how we're spending our money," she said.
The city's sales tax receipts have increased, while other revenues, such as utility taxes, have fallen.
Estrich predicted that health care costs will increase slightly in the new budget year, which begins July 1, and that while pension costs are rising, they should flatten out.
The city relied on state aid for 37 percent of its revenues last year, according to Schroeder. Brown administration officials have said they are hoping to keep the aid at the same level and are not expecting an increase, given the state resources that are needed to clean up from Superstorm Sandy.
Estrich was praised by the Brown administration and Council members for being an expert on city finances.
Council Member Bonnie E. Russell, who has been the only woman on the Council since she took office in 2004, said Tuesday that she was happy that a woman was being appointed to the post.
Russell said Estrich worked closely with Penksa and that she knows city finances well.
When Estrich came to City Hall in 1994 as an audit inspector, she got to know all of the departments by auditing them, from the Aud to the zoo, she said.
Estrich has a bachelor's degree from Buffalo State College and is working on a master's in public administration.
She became budget director in 2007 and had been interim commissioner for six months in 2006 after Finance Commissioner James B. Milroy resigned and before Penksa was appointed. Estrich was management budget analyst for five years before that.
As commissioner, she will be a member of Brown's CitiStat panel, in which top aides question department heads about their performance during televised meetings, and will represent the city during control board meetings when Brown cannot attend.
Estrich's new position will require her to resign from the city's Water Board, she said.
The commissioner's salary, $119,239, is the highest in the Brown administration.

I have been so blessed to be surrounded with the most lovely and finest of friends of all shapes and colors and sizes. The ones that click instantly and feel like sisters from the very first moment. The ones you wonder where they've been all your life. The ones that are there to batten down your hatches when the winds come. The ones that you have out of survival, ones you may have never connected with but you go through a moment in time together that forever seals your hearts. The friends that have been with you throughout life and all the changes and downs and ups and ups and downs and just weave in and out right along with you. And the ones you've yet to meet but will forever change your life.
My friends- they have quirks. They struggle to get into their Spanx and don't always know the right words to say. They mess up. They bring you celery. They do so many things right. They are not perfect. And oh my goodness I love them more for that.

June 6th, 2000, arrived cloudy and cool in Roanoke, Virginia. The threatening weather would mirror the mood of this day for the Stokes family. For it was on this day that my husband, Bill, began his journey of co-existence with one of the most insidious and clever cancers of all, multiple myeloma. Official diagnosis would arrive early afternoon; by nightfall, a game plan would be initiated
For the next twelve months, our cancer odyssey took us to the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, Washington. There, Bill received a "mini tandem transplant," autologous and allogeneic. This is also where Bill began to pursue a hobby he never had time to enjoy. The stress and demands of a busy dental practice left him little time to paint. All of sudden, time was on his side, and lots of it. So, Bill began to sketch and paint, and with this creative, therapeutic process, found that he could challenge cancer with the simple strokes of pencil and brush.
Ever since his first art show in 2001, Bill has donated the proceeds of all art revenues for myeloma research and education. "This is one positive and productive way that I can give back," Bill reflects. He enjoys painting, and it has given him a very tangible way of challenging a faceless monster.
Bill likes to paint landscapes, and many are inspired by the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains and by the time spent in the great Pacific Northwest where our family lived while Bill was in treatment. Some paintings reflect the cancer process itself. Currently, Bill is working on a series of bright, colorful, gyrating figures he calls "Stemmies."
Every art show provides an opportunity to make a difference in the world of multiple myeloma. At one recent show, an interior decorator snatched up three watercolors for an installation in a new retirement center. "Residents love the soothing colors in Bill's paintings," she observed, "and my employer has multiple myeloma so this is one way I can be supportive while adding beauty and pleasure to others' lives." One can't argue with that!
The Stokes family actively supports research with many other venues of expression. We regularly participate in an event to benefit the Fred Hutchinson Center—Bill walks the 5K while I run the 10K. Together, we generate a monthly newsletter for the Multiple Myeloma Network of the Blue Ridge, the support group Bill co-founded in 2003. And, every June, we lobby in Washington, DC, for more blood cancer funding. All in all, our creative efforts have generated more than $50,000 for the myeloma cause to date. And we're not done yet!
It might be a cliché, but the saying is very true for us: When one door closes, another one opens. Bill and I are fortunate that so many doors have opened for us in our journey with myeloma. In late 2004, Bill relapsed and we headed back to "The Hutch" where Bill received a DLI (donor lymphocyte infusion) from his brother, Clay. The procedure was a success and left him feeling better than any other period since diagnosis.
We adhere to the one-day-at-a-time philosophy. But this mentality doesn't prohibit us from looking to the future and having a vision. We've taken a very negative experience and made it as positive as possible. Frankly, there are no other options for us.
NOTE: To contact the Stokes, email firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com.

Tahoe ski resorts to host job fairs
Ryan Summerlin October 11, 2013
The ski and snowboard season is coming ever closer, and the resorts in the South Lake Tahoe area are in full recruitment mindset.
Job fairs are being held this week, and more ski areas will host fairs throughout the month.
Kirkwood Mountain Resort
Kirkwood's job fair will take place Oct. 12 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The openings the Kirkwood has open currently vary in each discipline, spokesperson Kevin "Coop" Cooper said. He said lift operators are very important to acquire at this time, as well as snowmakers, hospitality personnel, food and beverage employees, and retailers through Kirkwood Mountain Sports.
"We want amazing retailers who want to sell the passion and the sport," Cooper said, adding ski and snowboard instructors also are needed. "We're looking for about 200 people to fill all those seasonal positions."
Cooper said he has been working at Kirkwood Mountain Resort for 20 years, ever since he drove through the area for a concert on a "powder day." He said he began his career at a store that was once called Outfitters in 1993 and never left.
For a list of jobs, visit www.winter.kirkwood.com/site/. Applications can be obtained at www.vail.resorts.com. Those who cannot make the job fair can apply on the website or call the resort's human resources personnel.
Sierra at Tahoe
The Sierra at Tahoe job fair is scheduled to take place Nov. 3 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Most of the jobs needed are lift operators, food and beverage employees as well as ski and snowboard school instructors, ski area personnel said.
"We're also looking for non-certified (ski and snowboard) instructors, and a marketing sales coordinator," human resources generalist Jessica Albery said, adding the ski area does need highly advanced skiers and snowboarders who can maneuver through all ski terrains.
Other jobs available include janitorial positions, a day care attendant and teacher, guest services and a safety risk manager.
Albery said supervisors from each department will be available to speak with prospective employees.
For more information or to see job postings, visit www.sierraattahoe.com/employment.
Heavenly Mountain Resort
Heavenly Mountain Resort has scheduled a job fair 9 a.m.-2 p.m. Oct. 19.
"Open positions for the 2013-14 winter season include: ski and snowboard instructors, ticket sellers, cooks, lift operators, retail sales associates, parking attendants, ticket scanners, mountain safety attendants, and more," the release sated.
The news release stated hundreds of people applied for positions last year, with 800 positions open this year. A full list of the resort's positions can be found at www.jobs.vailresorts.com.

Using a Z-score Approach to Combine Value and Momentum in Tactical Asset Allocation
Peng Wang
TIAA Institute - Covariance Capital Management
Larry Kochard
affiliation not provided to SSRN
January 29, 2011
We present several active strategies for combining value and momentum strategies in a tactical asset allocation (TAA) framework. We refine the basic yield approach to valuation by standardizing the value signal using the Z-score. Such standardization not only enables us to directly compare valuation measures across asset classes, but also offers insight about each asset class's absolute valuation by its own standard. Under the nonlinear approach, it helps to identify market peaks and bottoms. We improve the momentum strategy by considering both relative and absolute performances. In the combined tactical asset allocation model, this modification to momentum acts as a simple mechanism to adjust the importance of value and momentum strategies under different market conditions. Our combined model takes advantage of both short-term momentum effects and long-term mean-reversion in valuation to achieve superior overall portfolio performance. Finally, we also provide alternative models for smaller tracking errors.

Result page is up! (pounding heart)
Alexander Majorov had to withdraw because of illness. He has the flu. I hope he gets better soon!
Do we know anymore about livestreams by now?
http://rsport.ru/figure_skating/20131001/691120046.html (Russian)
Ekaterina BOBROVA / Dmitriy SOLOVIEV WD from Finlandia Trophy - injury of him.
they will compete in Ice Star Minsk
luckily its nothing serious, just a sprained ankle of Soloviev
Hope Soloviev's injury is not serious and that he is able to make a full recovery. If they are currently planning (if this is correct) to compete at another event already, I will take that as reassuring.
Excited to see the full Free dance for Virtue and Moir. The fans in Finland must have been so disappointed when they had to withdraw last year. They will clearly help "make" this event.
I just called to the broadcasting company YLE where they said that you can watch the competition live also outside Finland! (don't kill me if they decide otherwise on the last minute This concerns the programme of Saturday and Sunday so unfortunately we cannot watch ice dance (short dance) live on Friday. Anyway, you can find the livestream here: http://areena.yle.fi/tv/suora#webcastlist Finlandia Trophy is already listed there for Saturday ("Lauantaina 5.10.2013") at 13.35-21.00 and for Sunday ("Sunnuntaina 6.10.2013") at 13.00-18.45.
If the link doesn't work go to the main page of YLE and click "suorat lähetykset" (http://areena.yle.fi/tv).
Schedule: http://www.figureskatingresults.fi/r...2013/index.htm
Time zone in Finland is GMT +3 hours (thanks for correcting me CaroLiza!).
Latest, greatest Finlandia Schedule PDF (as of Oct 2) - incl. practices:
So, at the moment, Finland is using Eastern European Summer Time, which is GMT+3.
Don't worry - you're still 2 hours ahead of us in the UK. It's just that we are currently using British Summer Time, which is GMT+1.
So, just to clarify, the Finlandia Short Dance starts at 15:50 GMT on Friday, which is in the middle of the Ondrej Nepela Pairs SP. Grrrr!!!
Sorry Finland, but if the livestreaming from Slovakia isn't geoblocked, I'll be in Bratislava all day on Friday! (I prefer Pairs skating to Ice Dance). But, don't worry - I'll be in Espoo for most of Saturday!
PLEASE don't have both competitions scheduled for the same weekend next year!!!

Statements of Work (SOWs)
One of the first steps in your procurement is developing your Statement of Work (SOW). In it, you describe the needs and requirements of your agency in a concise, focused way. Then, you ask the industry experts who currently hold GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contracts to give you an accurate and complete price quote within a reasonable amount of time.
To help you, we are sharing samples of SOWs that our customers and industry partners judged as the best. In making that determination, we asked them to share SOWs that:
- Required little or no clarification;
- They were likely to quote on;
- Were unambiguous;
- Received a good number of quotes from other Schedule contractors; and
- Were successfully executed according to the SOW.
The SOW examples are available for the following categories:
This SOW collection will continue to grow as our customers and industry partners provide us with additional examples to share.
We are confident that you will find these SOW templates helpful. You can use them as examples when crafting your own requirements. They also illustrate how other agencies use GSA's schedule program to meet their wide-ranging needs.

Sources: Mac Rumors, 9 to 5 Mac
quote: "The generic name for Gorilla glass is Aluminosilicate glass, of which Apple does use, but it's not made by Corning." Sadly, your clear and concise statement of fact will do little to dispel the myth that Apple "innovated" gorilla glass or the smartphone in general among these zealots. They see what they want to see and think what they want to think. The bottom line... Apple purchased a good buch of tech and wrapped it up into a nice package making a good product, and they continue to do so. They didnt invent squat, and they dont innovate. They do put together good products that people want to buy, so kudos for that, but that is all it is.
quote: Jobs decribed the type of glass Apple wanted for the iPhone, and Weeks told him that Corning had developed a chemical exchange process in the 1960s that led to what they dubbed "gorilla glass". It was incredibly strong, but it had never found a market, so Corning quit making it. Jobs said he doubted it wasd good enough, and he started explaining to Weeks how glass was made. This amused Weeks, who of course knew more than Jobs about that topic. "Can you shut up," Weeks interjected, "and let me teach you some science?" Jobs was taken aback and fell silent. Weeks went on to the whiteboard and gave a tutorial on the chemistry, which involved ion-exchange process that produced a compression layer on the surface of the glass. This turned Jobs around, and he said he wanted as much gorilla glass as Corning could make within six months. "We don't have the capacity," Weeks replied. "None of our plants make the glass now." "Don't be afraid," Jobs replied. This stunned Weeks, who was good-humoured and confident, but not used to Jobs's reality distortion field. He tried to explain that a false sense of confidence would not overcome engineering challenges, but that was a premise that Jobs had repeatedly shown he didn't accept. He stared at Weeks un-blinking. "Yes, you can do it", he said. "Get your mind around it. You can do it." As Weeks retold this story, he shook his head in astonishment. "We did it in under six months," he said. "We produced a glass that had never been made." Corning's facility in Harrisburg, Kentucky, which had been making LCD displays, was converted overnight to make gorilla glass full-time. "We put our best scientists and engineers on it, and we just made it work." In his airy office, Weeks had just one framed memento on display. It's a message Jobs sent the day the iPhone came out: "We couldn't have done it without you.
quote: They do put together good products that people want to buy, so kudos for that, but that is all it is.
quote: by actually doing nothing much of substance, certainly not anything unique or even that interesting.
quote: Corning, the makers of Gorilla glass, has never made glass for Apple products. Gorilla glass was used in many models of phones and PDAs before Apple even thought of mobile computing. The generic name for Gorilla glass is Aluminosilicate glass, of which Apple does use, but it's not made by Corning.
quote: If he was to be remembered for just one of his Apple designs, I ask, which one would he pick?There is the long pause. "It's a really tough one. A lot does seem to come back to the fact that what we're working on now feels like the most important and the best work we've done, and so it would be what we're working on right now, which of course I can't tell you about."

Every December since 1995, a candle has been lit for each of Camden's homicide victims during the year. Near the flame, Sister Helen Cole prays that their families find peace.
Cole started the vigil that year out of frustration that the homicide tally had reached a grim record of 58 homicides in one year.
This year, as the death toll has surpassed that record and reached 60 as of Friday, a symbol of healing also will mark the four-day vigil, which starts Dec. 28.

Aveda Pure Abundance Volumizing Clay Conditioner
We're sorry, this product is no longer available.
Aveda Pure Abundance Volumizing Clay Conditioner creates fullness and volume for fine hair.
Feb 21, 2011
So-so Product.
I have used this product with my normal hair, thermally reconditioned hair, styling as curly hair, styling as straight hair, and extremely fried hair from highlights. I have fine and thin hair that's hard to get volume into regardless, but I need my conditioners to have enough moisture and slip in order for me to detangle the rat's nest that is my hair after shampooing. Most volumizing conditioners and shampoos are extremely stripping for some reason- I would have to say this conditioner is actually pretty moisturizing for being marketed as a volume conditioner. It's only okay in terms of slip and detangling though in regards to other conditioners and I don't really feel it gives enough moisture and slip for my needs. Smells really nice, the ingredients are great, but I have to use a lot of it to be able to detangle. I really don't feel there's a whole lot of bang for your buck here.
If you want volume and hair that isn't weighed down, trying this conditioner may be useful to you, but using other conditioners from midshaft down on my hair gives the same, if not better results (because at least I can still detangle and get the moisturizing benefits that comes with wanting to conditioner your hair and not just use shampoo) than this conditioner. Volume will be best achieved with your styling products and the way you manipulate your hair AFTER you get out of the shower vs using this conditioner.

The Only Conditioner I'll Ever Use
I have fine hair and to get it to condition without making it heavy or limp is a challenge. Aveda volumizing clay condtioner is the best.

Duke Ellington Orchestra, "Big Band Live from Liederhalle Stuttgart, March 6, 1967" (Jazzhaus); Terri Lynne Carrington, "Money Jungle: Provocative in Blue" (Concord). You literally cannot imagine the shock of hearing "Money Jungle" in 1963. The last thing anyone expected 50 years ago is that jazz rebels as angry and committed as Charles Mingus and Max Roach (who once created a "rump festival" at Newport in rebellion against George Wein's established one) would team up for a piano trio recording led by Duke Ellington and featuring new compositions by him. It was an astounding record back then and has been a classic ever since – while remaining no less astounding. It was Duke beginning to announce to the world his deep kinship with jazz's most forthright left wing, which was populated with those who, quite rightly, revered Duke Ellington above all their jazz forebears. Soon John Coltrane – who would go on to make the sulfurously multiphonic "Ascension" – was happy as can be to be recording "In a Sentimental Mood" with Duke. The key word in the title of "Money Jungle" isn't the strident "money" as everyone originally thought, it was "jungle," a word deeply important to Ellington since his earliest days at the Cotton Club when his band was known as the "jungle band." The quasi-African "jungle" layering of melodies over thunderous neo-primitive rhythms and behemoth basslines is key to "Money Jungle," but then so are compositions like the exquisite and delicate "Fleurette Africaine" and "Wig Wise." It was good of Terri Lynne Carrington to pay tribute to "Money Jungle" and its ability to provoke; and also for Concord to release it as a prelude to February's Black History Month, but however welcome are the all-too-brief presences of Clark Terry and Herbie Hancock, the disc bears the same relationship to the Elington/Mingus/Roach masterpiece as, say, Jonathan Demme's pointless remake of "The Manchurian Candidate" does to John Frankenheimer's original film.
Greater by far is the Jazzhaus first release of Duke's band in Jazzhaus disc's "Big Bands Live" series from Stuttgart in 1967, a sensational performance with great drumming in the Louis Bellson tradition by Rufus Jones on "Kixx," a gorgeous version of "La Plus Belle Africaine" and a fine version of "Chelsea Bridge" (weirdly misidentified as Strayhorn's "Freakish Lights" on the disc). Duke, as always, is a musical miracle. Two stars for Carrington, four stars for Ellington. (Jeff Simon)
"The Runaway Bunny," "The Story of Babar," "Goodnight Moon," with music by Glen Roven and Francis Poulenc, narrated by Catherine Zeta-Jones, Michael Douglas and Mark Stone. (GRP Records). Here are three classic picture books, set to music. "The Runaway Bunny" was written by Margaret Wise Brown, who also wrote "Goodnight Moon," and has the same kind of soothing repetitiveness. It is accompanied by a piano trio by Glen Roven. Catherine Zeta-Jones narrates "The Runaway Bunny," Narrating "Babar," with the famously quirky music by Francis Poulenc, is her husband, Michael Douglas. This offbeat project is very well carried off.
I do think you would need the book to go with the CD. (I did not have it.) "Babar" can get grim and grotesque without those marvelous and absurd pictures. You have to see those drawings of Babar driving his fancy motor car, or leaning on a mantel in a suit, smoking a pipe. Even Poulenc's witty and adorable score, played wonderfully by Jason Wirth, doesn't make up for them. (It would be perfect to have music, narration and pictures all together in a multimedia performance.) Roven's music to the Wise stories seems inspired by the Poulenc, and it can be charming, particularly "The Runaway Bunny," which has a sweet, nostalgic circus interlude. "Bunny" is performed by the celebrated pianist Jeffrey Biegel, assisted by violinist Kinga Augustyn and cellist Robert deMaine, and they do a beautiful job. There is also an abridged version of this story, for younger listeners, which is a good idea.
Part of the fun of a picture book is proceeding at your own pace, and as sweet and husky as Zeta-Jones' voice is, a slow-moving story is doled out so sparingly between long stretches of piano trio music that I think kids will get restless. I do not get the music for "Goodnight Moon" at all. Mark Stone is a good baritone, but this is the same tuneless vocal writing I hear all the time, and I think it will just make kids giggle. An alternate version featuring a chorus is even worse. Two out of three stories aren't bad, though. I am going to try this disc out on the nieces and nephews and see how it goes over. Three stars (Mary Kunz Goldman)
Rachel Podger, "The Music I Love" (Channel Classics, two discs). Musicians – or anyone – shouldn't be so quick to assume they are household names. When I first saw this set, titled simply "Rachel," I had no idea who it was. I actually thought first of another violinist, Rachel Barton Pine. Otherwise this is an attractive sampling of the already prodigious discography of Rachel Podger, an acclaimed violinist whose Vivaldi album was praised by News Arts Editor Jeff Simon last year. The Vivaldi concerto is light and enchanting, not the flat-footed potboilers he sometimes cranked out. A plus for a performer, though you do not always think about it, is selecting best-quality repertoire, and Podger gets that right. She also includes a lot of Mozart, some of it lesser-known, with her longtime collaborator fortepianist Gary Cooper. I have mixed feelings about period performance. I often find the sound of fortepiano, especially in recording, to be creaky and distracting.
But Podger and her friends play with poetry and enthusiasm, and this set – also rounded out by Haydn and Bach and Rameau and more Vivaldi – is full of charm. Three and ½ stars (M.K.G.)
Missa Brevis: "A Mass For Accordion," Matti Rantanen, accordion (Siba Records). Poor Pope Benedict XVI. Here he is fighting this uphill battle to improve Catholic Church music, which after Vatican II fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down. And what comes along but a Mass for accordion, played by Matti Rantanen, who is the head of accordion studies at the Sibelius-Academy in Helsinki, Finland. For people who yearn to legitimize the accordion, this album is a dream come true. Its centerpiece is this grating, mostly atonal Mass, by one Kaj-Erik Gustafsson. Plus – and perhaps we should impose a parental advisory at this point – the accordion gets to play "Father, into your hands I commend my spirit" from Haydn's "Seven Last Words," and Mozart's Adagio in B Minor, K. 540.
These are new and frightening frontiers in accordion music, and your feelings for the instrument will probably determine your reaction. One star (M.K.G.)

The 49-year-old, who's currently writing her autobiography and recording a new album, is featured on the cover of FASHION magazine and admits that while the past few years have been turbulent, she's hoping Hollywood can forgive her.
"Listen, if [Orange is the New Black star] Natasha Lyonne can burn down a house and Robert [Downey Jr.] can go to prison for two years, I deserve a second chance. I know there is hope for me."
But that doesn't necessarily mean she's ready to play nice or sell out.
"No, no, no," she says. "There will be no biopic on me. I will never sell my publishing. I won't let that happen. I still get hit on by guys because they want to be cast in that Kurt Cobain biopic that's been in production for years. I could give you some [actors'] names that would blow your mind, but I am so not sleeping with someone under 38."
The Hole rocker says she wrote the song "Wedding Day" on her new album about getting dumped and admits that she toyed with the idea of naming names in her autobiography, but settled on pseudonyms, calling a billionaire she dated "Mr. Cat," but there's one topic that she really doesn't want to talk about.
"Nobody ask me about aging gracefully, pleeease," she says. "C'mom, I took advice from Goldie Hawn when she said I should get a facelift at 35!"

UPDATED: After murder conviction, Garland man complains to judge about his attorneys, offers new story about killing
The Dallas County murder trial of Mark Lynn Milligan is winding down, and we could soon learn how a jury of seven women and five men will treat the relatively unique circumstances surrounding this slaying.
There's little doubt Milligan is the man who fatally shot Jesus Dominguez in the early morning hours of October 30, 2011. He confessed to police and at least two relatives. His estranged wife witnessed the slaying.
What makes this case a little, well, different is the text message that Milligan received shortly before the shooting.
The mother of his three children, Kimberly Jenkins, was having what was supposed to be a romantic evening with her new boyfriend, Dominguez. But she was also engaged in an hours-long juvenile text message argument with her estranged husband.
Shortly after midnight, Milligan received a photo via text message that showed his wife and Dominguez engaged in a sex act. Not long after that, he pounded on the door of the Garland apartment where the couple was sleeping.
Dominguez answered and was shot dead in the doorway. Milligan chased down his wife, put his gun in her mouth and pulled the trigger, Jenkins testified. It didn't fire, she said, because he was out of bullets.
(Though when the gun was later recovered, it had one live bullet left. That's a minor mystery I have yet to solve in this case.)
For the relatives of Dominguez, who have sat through this trial all week, I doubt the circumstances of the murder would justify a light punishment.
But what would you do if you were on this jury and had the chance to convict and sentence Milligan? Should the explicit text message be a factor in the verdict or sentence?
The murder of Jesus Dominguez was a planned and deliberate act by a desperate man who had lost control of his estranged wife, prosecutor Travis Wiles said in closing arguments this morning.
"This case is not about text messages, but about a man's rage and a man's control over a woman's life," Wiles told the jury.
The prosecutor countered defense arguments that Milligan was going to the Garland apartment where his wife was sleeping with Dominguez to get a set of keys from her. Defense attorney Alex Zocchi said in his closing argument that Milligan only fired his gun after Dominguez tried to punch him in the doorway of the apartment.
"He went over there to get his car keys and get the hell out of there," Zocchi said. "Mr. Dominguez was the aggressor in this case."
That argument could be a tough sell, given that Milligan's estranged wife, Kimberly Jenkins, testified that Milligan then came after her. She said he shot at her and put his gun in her mouth. Milligan pulled the trigger, but the gun was out of bullets, Jenkins testified.
The gun was later recovered with one live bullet left. In his closing, Wiles addressed that apparent issue. He said Milligan had nine total bullets to begin with for a gun that can hold six.
"So why is there a bullet left?" Wiles said. "Because as he left that apartment, he had one more for himself."
Wiles argued that Milligan couldn't go through with it and tossed the gun on the side of a road, where police later recovered it.
Milligan, wearing a dark sport coat and gray pants, appeared to wipe his eyes as Wiles spoke.
The jury is now deliberating.
The jury found Milligan guilty of murder following about 30 minutes of deliberations.
Milligan had no visible reaction to the verdict.
The punishment phase is set to begin at 12:30. Milligan could face up to life in prison.
Before the punishment phase got started this afternoon, Milligan asked and was granted the opportunity to address state District Judge Tracy Holmes.
With the jury outside of the courtroom, Milligan rambled for several minutes about the fact that he didn't feel like he had enough face time with his lawyers prior to the start of his trial.
"I've had less than 20 minutes face time with Brad Lollar since I came to jail," Milligan said, adding that he hadn't met defense attorney Alex Zocchi before this week. He also said the closing argument Zocchi made was inaccurate.
Milligan offered a completely new story about why he went to the Garland apartment on the night of the shooting. He said that he lived at that apartment with his family.
Holmes wasn't pleased with Milligan's story — nor the fact that he interrupted her several times — and noted that his tale isn't supported by any evidence presented in court this week.
Holmes then asked both Lollar and Zocchi how long they've been practicing law and how many capital murder or murder trials they've been involved in. Their combined experience is more than 50 years of practice and at least a few hundred murder or capital murder cases, they said.
"These two gentlemen — neither of whom you could afford if you had to pay for them … these are the best lawyers money can buy," Holmes said.
Milligan interrupted her yet again to tell her that he could afford to pay for them with his own money if all his assets had not been stolen from him after his arrest.
The convicted murderer acknowledged that his lawyers are professionals and it probably would have been the worst thing he could have done to represent himself in this trial.
"Well, this is the second worst thing you could do," Holmes said.
The judge also noted that Milligan opted to complain only after he was convicted. Milligan said he voiced similar complaints about his legal representation in letters he sent to the judge from jail in the past year.
It remains unclear whether Milligan will testify during this phase of the trial. He indicated he may want to testify even though both of his attorneys are advising against it

A hit-and-run driver in Niagara Falls was tracked down and taken into police custody and a 58-year-old pedestrian victim was recovering late Wednesday from non-life-threatening injuries, Niagara Falls Police reported.
The incident occurred about 6:30 p.m. in the 9200 block of Niagara Falls Boulevard. The male victim was in the median when he was hit by a driver who then fled the scene, according to Police Superintendent John R. Chella.
Police, acting on a tip that included the plate number of the vehicle, tracked the vehicle down to 87th Street and found it unoccupied, Chella said, adding that a short time later, the driver was found by police hiding behind a nearby garage.
The driver, whose name was not immediately disclosed, was charged with leaving the scene of an injury accident. Chella said the driver was also undergoing blood and alcohol screening tests late Wednesday.

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
While a graduate student at the University of Geneva, Switzerland, Ludovic Wiszniewski, Ph.D., teamed up with three colleagues to optimize a technology platform discovered there. In March 2006, they launched Epithelix Sarl, a company that specializes in tissue engineering. Epithelix develops, produces, and sells reconstituted in vitro human airway tissues for toxicity testing of chemicals and the study of human diseases. Its products also help to reduce the need for expensive animal testing.
Other companies are developing substitutes for animal toxicity tests based largely on liver cells. Epithelix, instead, is developing artificial tissues that model the lining of the airways and lungs. "Our initial focus was on airway tissues because we have special expertise in reconstituting these kinds of tissues," says Samuel Constant, Ph.D., COO. "Back then, a good in vitro model for airways didn't exist."
Epithelix' core product is MucilAir, a 3-D model of the human airway epithelium made up of primary human cells isolated from the nasal cavity, trachea, and bronchus. Once differentiated, MucilAir mimics the morphology and function of the native human airway epithelia, including beating cilia, active ion transport, and tight junctions. Each culture contains three principal primary cell types—basal, goblets, and ciliated cells. The mucocilliary clearance is fully functional.
"These tissue cultures are as close as possible to the in vivo situation, and they contain no transformed cells," Dr. Constant says. What's more, the tissue remains fully differentiated and functional for more than a year.
MucilAir is available in 24-well plates for early screening. Epithelix also sells chemically defined culture media for growing MucilAir and other tissue cultures. "The culture media is the best way to grow tissues and it's important for a long shelf life," adds Dr. Constant. All tissue cultures are performance-assayed and test negative for HIV-1, mycoplasma, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, bacteria, yeast, and fungi.
Since MucilAir has a similar microanatomy to that of natural respiratory tract tissue, it responds in the same way to various chemicals. Its ability to stay active for up to one year makes MucilAir ideal for long-term toxicity testing of environmental chemicals, including airborne toxicants, nanoparticles, and ingredients in perfumes, cosmetics, and household products. The company's technology is the only one that can monitor the chronic effects of environmental toxicants or drug candidates, according to Dr. Constant. Many toxicants, such as components in cigarettes, do not produce immediate tissue damage but require repetitive doses to inflict injury.
Another application for the airway tissue cultures is to evaluate the performance of drugs or drug candidates designed to treat specific respiratory diseases such as asthma, COPD, and cystic fibrosis. Different products created by Epithelix consist of tissues derived from primary human cells obtained from healthy people, smokers, and patients with asthma, allergies, COPD, and cystic fibrosis.

Connie Townsend & the Ginsangers will release their latest album, "Feast of St. Martin," with a concert at the Randolph County Community Arts Center at 7 p.m. Saturday.
Elkins' own Elm Street Alley Cats will kick off the evening, followed by The Ginsangers. Both events are open to the public.
Unlike earlier Ginsanger recordings, the Feast of St. Martin is the result of a creative process involving the entire band. Members Jeff Broschart, Seth Maynard, Roy Turner, Dave Parker and Townsend were all deeply involved in the process from start to finish.
Broschart is the group's drummer and harmony vocalist, Maynard is lead guitarist and harmony vocalist and Turner is bassist for the band. Parker plays resonator and six-string guitars.
Guest appearances on the album include Morris Kittle, who laid down clarinet and sax tracks on two tunes, and Denny Franks, who played keyboard on the title song, "Feast of St. Martin."
The new songs are varied in flavor and feel, ranging from the contemporary folk sound of "Circus Came To Town" to the rootsy country "Who's Gonna Hold You Now."
Several of the tunes have that particular sound that is recognized as the work of Townsend and her partner, Parker. They both have a history of strong songwriting that has received national recognition.
Townsend noted that the album was recorded at Lone Wolf Studio in Elkins and was mastered in Nashville. The cover of the album features the work of Elkins artist Vince Trimboli, with the graphic design being created by graphic artist and photographer Candace Maynard of Lone Wolf Studio.
Townsend and Parker have collaborated on music since 1998 and in one form or another, The Ginsangers band has been playing together for a decade.
Turner, who is from Braxton County, is the only member of the band from outside Randolph County.
Visit The Ginsangers' website at www.theginsangers.com for additional information on the band.
Tickets for Saturday's CD release concert are $12, and each guest will receive a copy of the new CD. Children 12 years old and younger get in free with the purchase of an adult ticket.
The Randolph County Community Arts Center, a nonprofit organization promoting and supporting the arts in Randolph County and the surrounding areas, is located at the corner of Randolph Avenue and Park Street in Elkins. More information is available at 304-637-2355 or www.randolpharts.org.

VIENNA, 13 December 2011 – The French Development Agency (AFD) will finance projects by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) that focus on the Accelerated Agribusiness and Agro-industries Development Initiative, or 3ADI through a contribution to UNIDO's Food Security Trust Fund.
An agreement on this was signed today by UNIDO Director-General, Kandeh K. Yumkella, and Ambassador Florence Mangin, Permanent Representative of France to the United Nations Office and International Organizations in Vienna.
The 3ADI programme supports the expansion of agro-commodity value chains, mostly in the food sector, as a means of wealth creation and food security in rural Africa.
UNIDO is working together with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) on technical assistance programmes that target smallholder farmers and agribusinesses in low-income countries across Africa. The combined expertise and resources of the three partners bring in comprehensive solutions along the value chain, from improved inputs into agriculture, modernized farming techniques, strengthened farmers organizations, updated processing technologies, packaging, quality control and food safety.
Consultations with local stakeholders led to the selection of the following value chains: Comoros—fruit and vegetables; DR Congo—cassava, oil palm; Ghana—cotton; Liberia—fruit and vegetables, rice, fisheries; Madagascar—bio-silk and bio-honey; Nigeria—cassava, rice, livestock; Rwanda—livestock, milk; Sierra Leone—ginger, cashew nuts; Sudan (North)—leather; Sudan (South)—cereals; Tanzania—red meat, cashew nuts.
France is UNIDO's fifth largest donor over the period 2006-2010 with net voluntary contributions to UNIDO programmes amounting to over USD 20 million.

For Whovians with WOW accounts
Hi, everybody!
Besides being a Doctor Who fan, I am also an occasional World of Warcraft player. I noticed today that there are two, count em! TWO Doctor Who fan guilds in WOW. They both reside on the Terokkar server. "Torchwood" is the Horde guild and "Bad Wolf" is the brand new itsy-bitsy Alliance guild.
I plan to make characters on Terokkar this week, just because I want to join! Thought some of you might be interested as well.
