Woman Act Now is agressively seeking like minded women leaders who are passionate about empowering other women. Perhaps you have a desire to gather women together to encorage, train and support. Woman Act Now will equip you to help women by bringing them together, promoting an atmosphere that provides an audience of intelligence for women to explore and achieve success.
1. A woman with passion for seeing dreams become reality
2. A woman who wants to help others while she helps herself
3. A woman who believes she can lead others through the valley of execution
4. A woman who can tap into her circle of influences and encourage other women to act on their dreams.
5. A woman who has a dream to help women achieve their dreams
6. A woman who believes in the power of giving
7. A woman who believes that the Woman Act Now vision mirrors her vision
Chapters can be establish nationally and internationally. Multiple chapters can be formed. For example, Dallas/Fort Worth may have 10 chapters which would be in several areas within the metro area, like Dallas, Fort Worth, Irving, Frisco, Plano, Arlington, South Dallas, Desoto, North Richland Hills or Grapevine. Although there are many chapters, all may act independently of each other.
Our objective is to have over 100 chapters throughout the country and the world by 2009. We will use technology to stay connected and do business without borders.
Each chapter applicant is personally interviewed by the Founder, Anna McCoy to ensure that vision, passion, ethic, and character aligns with Woman Act Now. After further discussions steps will be taken to establish a chapter in your local area.
It will cost an approved applicant approximately $50 to start a chapter plus travel to Dallas, TX for leadership training. The cost per applicant will differ depending on applicants location.
For those individuals who are chapter leaders you will be provided with material, support and encouragement. If you are an individual who meets the seven criteria above than you will be aligning with an organization who can help you achieve your goal of helping others but you will have the resources to do both online and off-line.
We like the small numbers which ultimately will lead to larger numbers if women experience real value in coming together. We say a chapter can start with as few as three women. Why, simple if you bring three people together and begin to share ideas and think out loud you can begin something spectacular. Why three and not two? Well, two can easily get on the same page and move in any direction but when you have three people accountablity is stronger because you can listen to ideas and get three opinions rather than yours or mine. So three and above is the number. Also it's easy to get a table at Starbuck's, our official home away from home. So start your chapter and gather two or three of your friends, find the nearest Starbuck's, grab a latte, and start thinking about how you are going to get your dream from an idea to a physical reality.

Warm (and windy) conditions continue this week . . . Snow and cold returns this weekend – WasatchSnowForecast.com
Next week, the GFS wants to build a ridge over the area and cut-off a low off the California coast while the EC wants to keep storms coming.
At this point it's really difficult to iron our the details because the models don't want to agree…. What we do know is that we will see snow this weekend, most likely on Saturday night thru Sunday Night. How much is still up in the air but significant accumulations are possible. Stay tuned as we get closer to the onset of snow and therefore get a clearer picture of exactly what we can expect . . .
HOW WILL THE BIG WEST COAST STORMS AFFECT THE ROCKIES? – UnofficialNetworks.com
Then on Saturday the trough in the Pacific pushes onshore with strong cold front, lots of cold air, and lots of snow. This large trough will push moisture into the entire lenghth of the Rockies from Montana down to New Mexico. The snow should fall most of the weekend bring up to a foot for most areas with up to 2 feet for some of the aras favored in a West-East flow like Steamboat. Jackson could pick up another 2 feet bringing their total for the week to 2-4+ feet.
Here is the snowfall forecast by next Monday morning showing most of the West covered in snow even down into the the mountains of Mexico. That shows you how cold this trough will be for the month of March.

You've seen his face - not to mention his arms and legs - somewhere before.
Every Friday and Saturday night, that's him, spread-eagled, in the opening credits of CBS's "Now and Again" and NBC's "The Pretender." That's him, too, on the local news, dressing up the logo for the KYW (Channel 3) medical feature, "Eye on Health." Before he was on KYW, he was the health-beat poster boy for WTXF (Channel 29).
Trapped forever inside a circle and a square, he's all over the World Wide Web, helping to sell everything from athletic supporters to cell phones. If you look carefully, you can even see his classic outline in the Blue Cross logo.

Researchers in Canada have come out in support of mandatory single-embryo transfer during in vitro fertilization (IVF) after their recent study showed that such a restriction would prevent deaths and severe complications associated with multiple gestations from IVF.
Investigators reviewed records from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal, Quebec, to determine how many infants admitted from 2005 to 2007 were from IVF-related multiple births and whether that proportion changed over a 10-year period. They also tracked the infants' complications and medical interventions they received.

Why We Need Tiger Contending In The Majors
It would be easy enough to dump him into a spam bucket, or banish him to cloud storage. If we?re squarely in a 21st-century world now, didn?t Tiger Woods say ``Hello, World?? back in 1996? When he last won a major golf tournament, six years ago, Barack Obama was still a senator from Illinois, tweeting was some newfangled gadget doomed to dumb us all down and Don Draper was just starting to cheat on Betty. Hell, Tiger hadn?t even cheated on Elin yet.
Did we really miss him those three months when he was recovering from back surgery? Think about it. Had so much time passed since his last significant glory, with all hope gone of breaking Jack Nicklaus? record of 18 major titles, that Woods had slipped into an irrelevance coma, incapable of being awakened?
Well, no.
We missed him a lot, actually.
Just because he can?t top Jack and might not win another major doesn?t mean we want to stop watching him try. In a sport with little in the way of compelling material ? I?ll give you Rory McIlroy in post-breakup mode and Bubba Watson at the Waffle House on Washington Road after the Masters ? we not only welcome Tiger back at the British Open but thank him for returning so quickly, which is shocking to me, as I was the one who said he wouldn?t play in a major this year. Quiz: Who won the U.S. Open in June? I could insert the ``Jeopardy?? music here, and most of you wouldn?t know ``Martin Kaymer?? when Alex Trebek demands the answer. No offense, but Martin Kaymer is why we need Woods to contend in majors. As the Wall Street Journal reminded us this week, Tiger spoiled us like few athletes ever, winning a preposterous 13 of 35 majors in a span from 1999 to 2008. And when he hasn?t won, only a handful of competitors who did win majors ? Phil Mickelson, Watson, Ernie Els among them ? have captivated or even interested the masses. There have been too many one-hit wonders among major winners, ranging from Rich Beem and Y.E. Yang to Shaun Micheel and Keegan Bradley. Per the Journal, 27 of the 56 majors not won by Woods since 1997 have been claimed by one-time champions. This has led to no-name-itis in a sport that is losing participants in record numbers, with young people not into the all-day commitment as the industry braces for a stunning exodus: an estimated 20 percent of the 25 million who do play are expected to ditch their clubs and stop playing in the coming years.
So, yes, it was delightful to see Woods shoot 69 in the first round at Hoylake, leaving him three strokes behind the leader, McIlroy, and immediately injecting a hit of oxygen into the men?s game. I say men?s game because the women?s game has been more more compelling of late, with the resurrection of Michelle Wie and the ice cream cone of 11-year-old Lucy Li. When Woods missed the cut at his own tournament last month at Congressional, the idea of contending at Royal Liverpool seemed ridiculous. Maybe he?ll implode over the weekend, following his recent pattern in majors. But for those of us who just want to see him healthy enough to play, much less win big events, this was the best Tiger news in quite a while.
``I knew I could do it," Woods said. ``That's why I was telling you guys it was so important for me to play at Congressional. The fact that I was able to recover every day, and the fact that I was stronger, more explosive the more days I played -- I'm only going to get better. And I'm getting stronger, I'm getting faster, I'm getting more explosive. The ball is starting to travel again."
We?ve heard this before, given his long history of periodic self-affirmations. But the fire is still there, which is vital to whatever future is ahead. He has renewed his running war with rude photographers ? ``Jesus Christ,?? he snapped when several shooters crowded too close ? and discourteous gallery members who don?t turn off cell phones, twice backing away from shots when technology was too noisy. ``Just put it on silent,?? he urged. In the past, we would scold him for such behavior. Now, we root him on.
He is going for the jugular and the Jug. That is impressive. Woods had every reason to fade away, from the relentless injuries that have plagued him physically to the fallout from his sex scandals that has blurred his once-meticulous focus. Someone asked him this week what an acceptable finish would be in the British Open.
``First,?? Woods said.
``Anything less would be unacceptable??? came the followup.
``That?s always the case, yeah.??
If the bravado is the same, little else is. Since winning the Claret Jug at Royal Liverpool in 2006, Woods has plummeted from status as the world?s premier athlete and become, at first, a punchline after the scandal, then a sad, dejected figure as he struggled to regain his elite form. ``My life is very different than it was then,?? said Woods, who has changed his swing coach, his caddy and his significant other since then.
His peers are thrilled to see him back, knowing his presence only lures eyeballs to everyone this weekend. ``We all benefit from him being in the tournament," Mickelson said. ``We are just glad he's back. He's back a lot earlier than I think a lot of us thought. That's only beneficial, and hopefully he'll play well."
``He generates so much interest. So I'm happy to see

A restored pickup truck that belonged to a soldier who died in 1999 was given to his family on Saturday.
Staff Sgt. Vince Sabasteanski was one of seven men killed in a helicopter crash in 1999.
He left behind his wife, his son, and his 1997 Dodge Ram pickup truck.
The pickup was recently shipped to Kansas City and restored, and it was presented to his son, Nicholas.
"This is what Memorial Day is all about -- you don't forget your loved ones here and past, and appreciate your soldiers who are out fighting every day," said July Sabasteanski.

The British graffiti artist known as Banksy came to New York "to see the sights — and paint on them", giving the city the gift of his work, scrawled on garage doors and walls.
In response, New Yorkers have defaced nearly all of his works. One particularly determined fan may also have exposed the long-guarded secret of the artist's identity.
Thomas McKean, 26, an engineer who describes himself as a longtime admirer of Banksy, said he noticed two men in overalls standing beside one of the artist's exhibits: a lorry that opened at the rear to reveal a pastoral landscape lit

Show transcribed image text In magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), we use radiofrequency (RF) coils to transmit oscillating magnetic fields into the patient. The coils are essentially series RLC antennas and must be tuned to resonate at the characteristic frequency of the experiment (called the Larmor frequency) for efficient transmission. This frequency changes as a function of the field strength of the MRI machine. At 1.5 Tesla field strength, it is 64 MHz and at 3.0 Tesla, it is 128 MHz. A simple RF coil is a loop of wire (which provides the inductance) broken by capacitors in series. If the value of each of the four capacitors is 20 pF for a coil tuned to operate in a 1.5 Tesla MRI, what is the inductance of the coil? If you wanted to use the same coil at 3.0 Tesla, what new value would you need to use for the capacitors?
this is a 2nd year course. also, please show all the steps! thanks!

Probably no other class of men have the vision, as medical men have, to see the good that would result from universal military training.
There never has been a real survey of the man power of the United States, but all of us know that many surprising facts would be developed if such a survey were made. The Civil War gave a certain indefinite survey at that time, but during the last fifty-five years tremendous changes have taken place in our mode of living, and the human mechanism has not adjusted itself to the changes of civilization. We have had no opportunity to judge the defects among our male population. For a long time the finger of scorn has been pointed at the Army and Navy because we had such a high percentage of venereal disease. I have been interested in this subject for a quarter of a century.

I am wondering if anyone knows of some porn sites with free downloads? I use slutload and tube8 but i am looking for some more. Any suggestions?
I am wondering if anyone knows of some porn sites with free downloads? I use slutload and tube8 but i am looking for some more. Any suggestions?
spankwire.com , youporn.com have videos to watch but I dont think you can download to your computer
for watching here are a few i know of: redtube.com xnxx.com pornhub.com postyourgirls.com as for downloading, you can always download the flv file then convert it =)
jiga.com xvideos.com youjizz.com tnaflix.com fantasti.cc
I appreciate the responses and yes i am looking for sites that can download from for free
well u can technically download from any of them if you know how to work in the source code, just look for the flv or wmv file
dontbothermeimflying or anyone who knows the answer. How to I work in the source code? I am good with some things when it comes to computers but by no means a know it all
well the simple way to do this would be to get 1) firefox 2) the flash video downloader addon 3) Flash Video Converter
For the source code way you will need to find a spot in the code using Ctrl+F ".flv" or ".wmv" this is typically a direct link to the video file, you may need to modify the url so that it works, if its in .flv format you will need Flash Video Converter or something similar.
me personally, im trying to get some lia 19 videos, sample videos or full videos... but to no avail
I like Xnxx and Tube8. Those are pretty much the best ones you'll find. Xnxx has a few Lia vids, but they aren't too long.
Well, this site usually gives me good stuff. You have to sign up tho, but its still a lot of vids. [url]www.myfreepaysite.com[/url]
Try "empornium.us" and "puretna.com". You have to sign up for them but they are free. There are tons of videos and you get to look at picture samples before you download them. They must have about 30,000 free videos of all different kinds of shit. You get a share ratio and everything so keep those torrents seeding. You will not be disappointed.
Tube8.com is my favorite, actually the only place I visit for porn.
I found mastechnique.blogspot.com it has a mix of straight, bi, gay, and male solo. For most of the straight an bi clips, look for the new techniques section.
thanks snowman!! Both sites are great! Not sure how to do the torrent thing on puretna but otherwise they are both awesome!!!
pornbits.net is the best torrent xxx site and I have tested most xxx torents...nothing beats this it is only to register today (before they close resistrationen)
Actually the Usenet feeds are the best and have been for years, even before the WWW. alt.binaries.erotica is overflowing with videos. Just find a Usenet client that can pull them down as whole files and join/decode them for you. Most internet providers have usenet servers you can access.
Wow tube8 is incredible! thanks for sharing guys!
I second the usenet suggestion. There's a bit of a learning curve, and a good news server costs a little so I guess it's not technically "free", but its well worth it. And not just for porn.
You might have "free" access to a news server through your ISP, though a lot of them don't offer it any more.
Also you don't upload anything and there's no way anyone can trace your IP like they do with torrents.

Just use the download helper for firefox!
All great pages.
Some great suggestions here! I'm usually too lazy to look around for porn sites, but I usually just go to pornhub. Also since SarahLIFE is working on organizing the forums, I think this thread belongs in the Men's Lounge Forum.
Last edited by Xanthan; 12-11-2012 at 09:02 PM.
xhamster.com, but you need to sign up, I have not tried that. I just found it searching for Pirates II.
A lot of these tube sites say that if you sign up you can download all their porn. They say it's free yet they still want a credit card number. Not really sure I want to do that. Anyone have any info on that? I have Download helper but most of this stuff is FLV which I simply cannot get to work. If I sign up with a credit card can I download these to MP4?
I would never ever register to ANY kind of webpage which asks me about my bank account/financial details ! IF they would like to know anything about my age, there are more then enough ways to get those informations...drivers licence, social secrurity number, regular ID card...
Anyway, you just need to find a convertion tool which changes the file from .flv to .mpeg or .MP4.
Okay, so I found a free conversion tool and it seems to be working--takes forever to do, though. Takes longer to convert than the time of the actual video, but if it all goes well I will be happy. The plan is to be able to convert these flv files to mp4 then put them on maybe a 84gb flashdrive so I can play them directly on my tvs. .Is there an easier way to do this? .I don't have a laptop or the capability to get the internet on my cable tvs. sure seems to be a headache...
I need a hot kinky chick that is really good with computers--
I hav´nt got THAT much knowlage about the technical part either - i just sometimes know how to fix things, but only on 1 way....maximum :P
that's a pretty informative topic on the subject https://forums.fleshlight.com/showthread.php?30997-Where-are-you-getting-porn-from-Do-you-pay-for-it

Gold Crown Club International Members to Receive Limited Edition $50 Travel Card; Added Value for AAA/CAA and Speed Rewards Members
PHOENIX (July 10, 2007) – For the third consecutive year, Best Western is teaming with the two top-rated children's networks in North America – Nickelodeon, the number-one entertainment brand for kids in the United States, and Canada's YTV – to bring some magic to the summer family vacation.
The Fairly OddParents Summer Promotion runs now through August 12, 2007. During this time period, members of Best Western's free Gold Crown Club International (GCCI) loyalty program who stay a total of six nights at any member hotel worldwide will receive a collectible $50 (U.S./CAN) The Fairly OddParents Best Western Travel Card.
Members of the AAA/CAA Preferred Gold Crown Club International, as well as Best Western's NASCAR-themed Speed Rewards program, which are elite levels of GCCI, will receive the limited edition travel card after staying just five nights.
Both Nickelodeon and YTV, home to "The Fairly OddParents," will host Web pages on www.nickjr.com and www.YTV.com to support the promotion, offering a variety of entertaining features that include e-cards, travel tips and a vacation poll.
"With 67 percent of family travel destinations suggested by a child, Best Western's The Fairly OddParents Summer Promotion offers children and their parents the opportunity to share in the vacation experience from start to finish," said Dorothy Dowling, Best Western senior vice president of marketing and sales. "In a time when food and fuel prices are affecting many budgets, this limited edition Travel Card represents an important savings for any family."

From creator Butch Hartman, "The Fairly OddParents" follows husband-and-wife sprites Cosmo and Wanda as they wreak mayhem and help young boy Timmy conquer typical kid obstacles by granting him wishes. In so doing, they magically fix problems ranging from a tough homework assignment to a bothersome babysitter.

Greg Abbott didn't know he'd ruled to block public information about dangerous chemicals until after he'd ruled
Attorney General Greg Abbott is scrambling deal with the uproar over his ruling that state records on the locations of dangerous chemicals around the state are confidential.
Abbott stumbled this week in defending the ruling, saying state records are closed to the public but homeowners could ask local companies what they have. The response brought a rebuke from Democratic gubernatorial challenger Wendy Davis, who said families with children playing near facilities with dangerous chemicals shouldn't have to go door to door to find out. Abbott faces Davis in the November general election for governor.
On Wednesday, the attorney general tried to distance himself from the decision. Abbott said he didn't even know his office made the ruling until it made headlines. But he defended it. He said state law passed after Sept. 11, 2001, keeps the records from public view in order to deter terrorists. In an interview with Associated Press, he said he was just interpreting what the Legislature did.
"This is not a law or conclusion that I created," Abbott told the AP.
Last year's ammonium nitrate explosion that killed 15 people in West has focused public attention on the storage of potentially dangerous chemicals across Texas and regulatory gaps in prevention, data-gathering, enforcement and disclosure to prevent explosions in the future. For years, the locations were available from the Department of State Health Services. But Abbott's ruling shut that down. On Wednesday, Abbott suggested that fire stations might be a place the public could go to find out what's in their neighborhoods.
Abbott is a big recipient of campaign contributions from the chemical industry, whose lobbyists are on record advocating fewer regulations and less disclosure.

Down two runs after the first inning, the Cougars turned things around for the second straight game by beating Citrus College 10-3 at College of the Canyons.
COC (15-10-1, 12-4) got six strong innings from freshman right-hander Trevor McDonald and found its stroke at the plate midway through the contest.
"I just had to loosen up the arm," McDonald said.
Scoring three runs in the fourth and fifth inning, the Cougars took control and scored another two runs in the sixth and eight, highlighted by right-fielder Trevor Bloom's two-run home run.
"I don't know how I hit the ball like that in this wind," Bloom said of the sixth-inning change-up he sent over the right-field wall.
Bloom was 1-for-2 on the day with three runs scored and two RBIs.
But the win was also reflective of the season the Cougars have had so far.
After a tough seven-game skid early in the season, COC responded by winning 11 of its next 12 games.
"I'd say that when we were on our seven-game losing streak, the team really bonded," McDonald said. "When you are losing like that, you have to come together."
Thursday was no different.
The Owls (17-8, 10-6) jumped out to an early 2-0 lead after first baseman Scott Vincent's two-run double. Vincent finished 3-for-4.
COC took a 3-2 lead in the fourth when first baseman Hugo Hernandez singled in Bloom, catcher Kyle Leon walked in a run, and shortstop Kirk Corrales sent a sacrifice fly to center field.
Citrus starting pitcher Matt Baudino surrendered eight walks on the day, and the Cougars made sure to capitalize.
"The pitchers that have come out (against COC) have ended up elevating their pitches in the strike zone," said Owls head coach Steve Gomez. "They are a good team and we've been doing that against their better hitters."
In the fifth inning, center fielder Brian Charnock doubled in Bloom, and later came across the plate following Citrus second baseman Angel Marti's fielding error.
The lead expanded to 6-2 after Tyler Oldham's RBI double later in the frame.
In the eighth inning, Charnock's single brought in Tucker Mabee and third baseman Matt Warr drove home Charnock on a double of his own.
A far cry from their start to the season, the Cougars now find themselves at the top of the Western State Conference South Division standings.
"They didn't give up," said Cougars head coach Chris Cota of the team's turnaround. "They had great character and have worked hard."
The Owls cut the lead to 10-3 following Vincent Prado's RBI-single.
Whether looking at a single game or the entire season, Bloom says you can never rule the Cougars out.
"We start slow sometimes but we always find a way to get it done," he said.

Zhang, Cui, Chen, Yan, Xiao, and X.-J. Zhang), Hefei, China; and Chinese National Human Genome Center at Shanghai, Shanghai, China (Drs K.-Y. Zhang, Xu, and Huang).
To report and analyze the mutations of the double-stranded RNA–specific adenosine deaminase (DSRAD) gene in 2 Chinese pedigrees with dyschromatosis symmetrica hereditaria (DSH).
Pedigree study.
Anhui province of China.
Two Chinese families, consisting of 19 individuals (family 1) and 5 individuals (family 2).
We directly performed mutation detection of the DSRAD gene in 2 Chinese families with DSH by sequencing. The whole coding region of DSRAD was amplified by polymerase chain reaction, and products were analyzed by direct sequencing.
Main Outcome Measures
Frameshift DSRAD gene mutations.
The c.3513insC (Arg1171fs) mutation was found in all patients but not in the healthy individuals from family 1, and the c.3220_3224delGCATC (Gly1073fs) mutation was found in 2 patients but not in the healthy members of family 2. These 2 mutations were not found in 96 unrelated control individuals.
Our data suggest that these 2 novel frameshift mutations in the DSRAD gene could cause DSH in the Chinese Han population and add new variants to the repertoire of DSRAD mutations in DSH.
Dyschromatosis symmetrica hereditaria (DSH) (OMIM 127400), also called reticulate acropigmentation of Dohi,1 was first described by Toyama2 in a Japanese family in 1929. The main features of DSH are many hyperpigmented and hypopigmented macules with a variety of diameters on the dorsal aspects of the extremities. The skin lesions appear in infancy or early childhood and commonly cease before adolescence.3 They last for life. The disease is transmitted as an autosomal dominant pattern or in an autosomal recessive form,4,5 and sporadic DSH has been reported.3 Mainly, DSH occurs in Japanese and Chinese populations, with a few cases described among Koreans, Indians, Europeans, and South Americans.3,6 Histologically, there is increased melanin pigmentation in the basal cells of hyperpigmented lesions as well as decreased numbers of melanocytes in the hypopigmented macules.7 Dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria (DUH) (OMIM 127500) is difficult to differentiate from DSH. Originally, DUH was considered to be a generalized form of DSH, but hypopigmented and hyperpigmented macules appear predominantly on the skin of the trunk, neck, and proximal aspects of the extremities. In DUH, skin lesions appear in the first year of life, whereas they tend to develop within the first 6 years in patients with DSH. Furthermore, some pedigrees with DUH appear to show an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern.
In recent months, 2 loci for DSH were found, and the genetic basis of DSH was elucidated. Our previous study8,9 mapped the first locus for DSH on chromosome 1q11-1q21. The second locus was thought to be located at chromosome 6q24.2-6q25.2 by Xing et al,10 but their patients showed dyschromatosis over almost their entire bodies, suggesting DUH. Many scholars believe that the DSH gene is located on chromosome 1 and the DUH gene is located on chromosome 6. In an attempt to clone the DSH gene, Miyamura et al11 identified mutations of the double-stranded RNA–specific adenosine deaminase (DSRAD) gene responsible for DSH among Japanese families.
The DSRAD gene encodes the enzyme responsible for RNA editing by site-specific deamination of adenosines. The DSRAD protein catalyzes the deamination of adenosine to inosine in double-stranded RNA substrates and induces translation within the nucleus, possibly at the surface of the nucleolus.12 We directly performed mutation detection of the DSRAD gene in 2 Chinese families with DSH by sequencing and found 2 mutations (c.3513insC and c.3220_3224delGCATC). These 2 frameshift mutations may lead to premature translation termination, and the truncated proteins with no functional activity can be synthesized.
Two DSH families recruited for this study were identified through probands from Anhui province in a Chinese Han population. They showed an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern (Figure 1). Every family member signed a consent form, and the study was approved by the Anhui Medical University Review Board. After obtaining informed consent from all participants, family members received physical examinations by experienced dermatologists. Blood samples were collected from available family members, and genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood with a blood kit (Qiagen Inc, Hilden, Germany).

Solid symbols indicate affected family members; open symbols, unaffected individuals; and slash, deceased individual. The arrows designate the probands.
We designed primers that flanked all 15 coding exons and intron-exon boundaries of the DSRAD gene using the Web-based version of the Primer 3.0 program (http://www.genome.wi.mit.edu/cgi-bin/primer/primer3_www.cgi). All of the primers were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The reactions were performed with a touchdown program in a 15-μL solution that contained 10 ng of genomic DNA, 10mM Tris hydrochloride, 50mM potassium chloride, 25mM magnesium chloride, 0.45mM dinucleoside triphosphate, 0.04μM of each primer, and 0.1 U of HotstarTaq (Qiagen). The PCR conditions were as follows: Taq activation at 95°C for 15 minutes, followed by 40 cycles each having denaturation at 94°C for 40 seconds, annealing at 58°C for 40 seconds, and extension at 72°C for 45 seconds, except that in the first 10 cycles the annealing temperature decreased from 63°C to 56°C by 0.5°C per cycle, and the final extension was at 72°C for 10 minutes. The PCR products were purified using a QIAquick PCR Purification Kit (Qiagen). We sequenced the DSRAD gene using the ABI PRISM 3730 automated sequencer (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, Calif). Sequence comparisons and analysis were performed using the Phred-Phrap-Consed program, version 12.0 (Genome Sciences Department, University of Washington, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Seattle). In addition, samples from 96 unrelated matched controls were sequenced to exclude the possibility that these were polymorphisms in the DSRAD gene.
A 3-generation family and a 2-generation family from Anhui province in China with typical DSH features were recruited (Figure 1). Both families showed an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. Family 1 consisted of 19 individuals and family 2 of 5 individuals. There were 8 affected individuals in family 1 and 2 affected individuals in family 2. The earliest onset of the disease in the 2 families was from ages 6 to 10 years. The proband of family 1, individual II:8, was a 40-year-old man with a long-standing history of both hypopigmented and hyperpigmented macules that presented diffusely on the extremities. In infancy, this individual developed pea-sized hyperpigmented and hypopigmented macules on the backs of his hands and feet (Figure 2). The results of laboratory examinations, including blood cell counts, blood chemical analysis, and urinalysis, were normal. Other affected members all had a mixture of hypopigmented and hyperpigmented macules of various sizes on the dorsal aspects of the extremities and no skin cancer history or other abnormalities. Some had small frecklelike pigmented macules on their faces, necks, and cheeks. The proband of family 2, individual II:2, was a 20-year-old woman who had been born following a normal pregnancy and delivery. At age 6 years, she developed a small mixture of hyperpigmented and hypopigmented macules on the backs of her hands and feet that ranged from 0.1 to 0.5 cm in diameter and gradually became prominent. In the summer or after sun exposure, the eruptions would become pronounced. Examination of the proband's mother revealed diffuse hypopigmented and hyperpigmented macules on the backs of her hands and feet. Similar lesions in all affected individuals were seldom distributed on the skin of the trunk. These abnormalities are asymptomatic and do not affect general health.
Hypopigmented and hyperpigmented macules on the dorsal aspects of the extremities in the proband of family 1.
We found 2 frameshift mutations in our 2 Chinese families with DSH. The results of sequencing the PCR products from probands are shown in Figure 3. In the proband of family 1, the nucleotide C was inserted between the 3513 and 3514 nucleotide and formed the c.3513insC(Arg1171fs) mutation. This frameshift mutation was found within exon 15, confirmed in the other patients, and excluded in the remaining unaffected persons in family 1 (Figure 3A and B). Another frameshift mutation was found in exon 13 of the DSRAD gene in family 2. The 5 nucleotides GCATG were deleted from 3220 to 3224, which results in the mutation of c.3220_3224delGCATC (Gly1073fs) (Figure 3C and D). Sequencing of the PCR product from the proband's mother in family 2 showed the same mutation as in her daughter. These 2 mutations were not detected in the 96 unrelated controls, suggesting that they are not common polymorphisms. These 2 mutations led to frameshift and premature translation termination within exon 15 and exon 13. The truncated proteins with no functional activity would be synthesized from the gene with these 2 frameshift mutations. We describe the amino acid position in DSRAD according to the sequence published on October 5, 2003 (GenBank accession No. 7669471; http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/viewer.fcgi?val=7669471&db=Nucleotide&dopt=GenBank).

Dyschromatosis symmetrica hereditaria is a rare hereditary skin disease characterized by a mixture of hyperpigmented and hypopigmented macules of various sizes on the backs of the hands and feet. Variable and infrequent features reported with DSH include large, symmetric, hypopigmented vitiligo-like macules, which may be present around the eyes and mouth and on the knees and penis.13 This disease could also be associated with idiopathic torsion dystonia13,14 and idiopathic brain calcification.15 Oyama et al3 reviewed 185 DSH cases and reported that 77.6% of patients had a family history of these conditions and 22.4% had no family history. This finding is explained by sporadic cases based on spontaneous mutations or incomplete penetrance.16 Both DUH (OMIM 127500) and DSH are inherited pigmentary skin disorders. Clinically, DUH is difficult to differentiate from DSH; however, DUH skin lesions appear within the first month of life and predominantly on the trunk, whereas the age at onset of DSH is approximately 6 years, and the skin eruptions are mainly distributed on the extremities of the hands and feet. In this study, 2 DSH families were consistent with autosomal dominant inheritance, and skin eruptions occurred mainly on the dorsal aspects of the extremities. The patients developed typical skin lesions at approximately age 10 years. Apart from the skin lesions, there are no common associated disorders in these patients.
In the past 2 years, the studies about the molecular basis of DSH have improved. Our previous study8 mapped the first DSH gene locus on chromosome 1q11-1q21. The second locus, located at chromosome 6q24.2-6q25.2,10 was considered to be the DUH gene locus according to the clinical manifestations of the affected members. Miyamura et al11 confirmed this region and identified 4 heterozygous mutations of R474X (c.1420C→T), L923P (c.2768T→C), K952X (c.2854A→T), and F1165S (c.3494T→C) in the DSRAD gene among Japanese DSH families. Therefore, our group directly performed mutation detection of the DSRAD gene in 7 Chinese families and 2 sporadic cases of DSH by sequencing and tried to establish the genotype-phenotype correlations. Eight novel heterozygous mutations of DSRAD were identified: c.2433_2434delAG (T811fs→841X), c.2197G→T (E733X), c.3286C→T (R1096X), c.2897G→T (C966F), c.2797C→T (Q933X), c.2375delT (L792fs→792X), IVS12-1A→G, and c.2897A→G (Y960C).17,18 We did not establish a clear correlation between genotypes and phenotypes, because the same mutation could lead to different phenotypes even in the same family. The other 2 mutations, Q513X (1537C4T) and R916W (2746C4T), were detected in exon 2 and exon 9 of the DSRAD gene in other Chinese DSH families.19
The DSRAD gene spans 30 kilobases and contains 15 exons.20 It is composed of 1226 amino acid residues, with a calculated molecular mass of 139 kDa.21 Two Zα domains, 3 double-stranded RNA–binding domains, and the putative deaminase domain are located in exons 2, 2 through 7, and 9 through 15, respectively.20,22 The enzyme converts adenosine to inosine in double-stranded RNA, which destabilizes the double-stranded RNA helix. The heterozygosity for the DSRAD knockout causes embryonic lethality in mice, whereas patients with DSH, which is localized specifically on the backs of the hands and tops of the feet, have a good prognosis.23 Miyamura et al11 speculated that when melanoblasts migrate from the neural crest to the skin during development, a greater reduction in DSRAD activity might occur at anatomic sites distant from the neural crest. Failure of correct RNA editing may induce the differentiation of melanoblasts to hyperactive or hypoactive melanocytes, then colonizing in an irregular distribution in the skin lesions. Our studies showed that the c.3220_3224delGCATC (Gly1073fs) mutation in exon 13 is located in the putative deaminase domain, so the amino acid residue at 1073 is suspected to play an important role in the conformation of the catalytic site of the enzyme, and the mutation at this position could probably influence enzyme activity. For now, 2 mutations in exon 15 were detected, the frameshift mutation c.3513insC (Arg1171fs) and Phe1165Ser, but how to explain this finding is difficult because exon 15 is not involved in the catalytic domain. We suppose that these mutations will change the structure of the enzyme and may induce an unstable tertiary structure of the protein that results in defective activity.
In conclusion, in these 2 Chinese families, we detected 2 different and novel frameshift mutations of the DSRAD gene associated with DSH. The finding that different mutations of DSRAD could induce the same phenotype of DSH in different countries may give insight into the still unknown mechanism that leads to DSH.

Syracuse, NY – A delightful fall day is expected to give way to a rainy night around Syracuse, according to the National Weather Service.
Today's forecast calls for sunshine, a high temperature of 71 and southwest breezes from 6 mph to 11 mph.
That's going to change.
Showers are probable, mainly after 1 a.m. Friday, as a large low pressure system plowing in from the Great Lakes pushes a cold front into the Syracuse area. Expect a low around 51.
Showers remain likely into Friday afternoon. It should stay mild, with a high around 69, but it should be cloudy, too.
A chance of rain continues into Friday evening but breaks in the clouds are expected. The temperature is expected to dip into the high 40s.
The weekend promises to be a little cooler with a high near 60 on Saturday and around 62 on Sunday. It's likely to be cloudy with a reduced chance of showers on Saturday. Some sunshine is expected Sunday.
Monday should be sunny with a high around 65. Tuesday is expected to be warmer, around 69, with partly sunny skies. Clouds could move in Wednesday with a chance of showers and a high around 66.

Answer: You're right, Hotwire's terms are restrictive. But there's a tradeoff: In exchange for not knowing the exact name and location of the hotel, and giving up your right to a refund, you're supposed to get a deep discount at a brand-name hotel.
Hotwire fell short of that. Its rates weren't the lowest, even though it promises they will be. But its guarantee, which you can find on its site, only says if you find a lower rate for an identical booking, it will "pay you the difference between the rates."
But a full refund? There's no mention of that.
The other issue is the location of your hotel. Hotwire is pretty clear about what it considers in the "Las Vegas Strip" area, and your resort was there. But it wasn't on the Strip, and unless you read the fine print carefully and click on the map, you could easily assume you'll be staying on the Strip until the very end of the booking process, when the name of your property is finally revealed.
Most customers don't bother to check their Hotwire rate against other published prices, and they shrug when their hotel isn't exactly where it's supposed to be — after all, they got a deal, right?
But your grievance highlights one of the persistent problems with so-called "opaque" sites, which is that like their amorphous products, their promises are long on rhetoric and short on specifics. Often, you can find a good deal through one of these sites, but not always.
I contacted Hotwire and it refunded your purchase.

It's pretty cool to even be talking about All-Star consideration for one of our young, homegrown guys this season. It took Andre Iguodala eight years and a lucky hot start from the Sixers to be given even strong consideration for the All-Star team, but this year, fourth-year point guard Jrue Holiday is putting up career-best, Most Improved Player-type numbers that have forced his name into the discussion. However, the Damaja's case is far from cut and dry, so let's analyze his chances from five relevant factors and see what kind of odds he has of making it to H-Town this All-Star Weekend:
Is Jrue Holiday an All-Star?

The blast of the trumpet, the soul of the oboe and the peel of bells cap a journey of restoration that returned parishioners of St. Mary's Catholic Church to their sanctuary and now surround them with the sounds of worship.
A new pipe organ will be dedicated at 2 p.m. Sunday and introduced to the community in concert. Bradley Welch, artist-in-residence at Highland Park United Methodist Church in Dallas, will play a mixture of classic and contemporary music to display the musical beauty and power of the 21-rank organ.
Audio Slideshow
Organ notes
A pipe organ is a musical instrument that uses pressurized air flowing through pipes to create sound.
Pipes - Provide the vehicle for sound in a pipe organ. An individual pipe is necessary for every pitch.
Ranks - Sixty-one pipes generally make a rank. St. Mary's Church has a 21-rank organ.
Manual - A keyboard. St. Mary's organ has three manuals, each with 61 keys.
Pedals - Sometimes called pedal keyboards. They are played with the feet.
Stops - Activate a rank of pipes such as trumpet, oboe or strings.
How to go
Who: St. Mary's Catholic Church
What: Concert by Bradley Welch
When: 2 p.m. Sunday
Where: 1200 S. Washington St.
How much: Free
Information: 806-376-7204
Organ crawl
To see the pipe organ up close, an organ crawl will be conducted at 10 a.m. today at the church, 1200 S. Washington St. The public may tour the organ chambers and hear a lecture by Francesco Ruffatti of Padua, Italy, about the process of building the organ. The free tour takes visitors through the organ chambers, which can be short and narrow, and requires bending and kneeling.
The sanctuary and all its furnishings were destroyed by fire in February 2007.
"We lost a historic organ that was originally part of the Sacred Heart Cathedral that was downtown. It was important that we replace that with a really fine instrument because of the heritage," said the church's music director, Jim Rauscher.
The rebuilding process took more than two years. Meanwhile, parishioners worshiped in the gymnasium without missing a single Sunday Mass. The new sanctuary was dedicated in September.
Installation of the $600,000 organ completed the last major step of the rebuilding process, said Monsignor Harold Waldow, church pastor.
"Worship without music is really incomplete," he said.
The organ dedication ritual recalls verses from the New Testament book of Colossians where the Apostle Paul reminds believers about thanksgiving and praise: "With gratitude in your hearts sing psalms and hymns and inspired songs to God; and whatever you say or do, let it be in the name of the Lord Jesus, in thanksgiving to God the Father through him."
The purpose of the musical instrument is to enhance community worship and surround the faithful with music, Waldow said.
A pipe organ creates music by means of pressurized air driven through pipes of varying sizes and lengths that its player selects by using a keyboard. The earliest mentions of an organ-type instrument that used forced air to create sound date from the third century before Christ. By the 10th century A.D., the pipe organ was a respected musical instrument in the church.
"We want to involve the people in every aspect of the worship, and the organ invites the people to worship. When you have a good organ and hear that wonderful sound underneath, you want to sing," Rauscher said.
Welch, who is sponsored by the Church Organ Gallery of Plano, earned a doctor of musical arts degree from Yale University and won performance awards for the last 15 years. He will be playing on a combination organ custom designed for St. Mary's with 21 ranks of pipes - about 1,300 in all - and 90 additional digital ranks.
The pipes were built in Padua, Italy, by craftsmen of the Fratelli Ruffatti pipe organ company, while the console, designed to complement the sanctuary, was constructed according to church specifications by the Rodgers Organ Co.
"What makes a pipe organ grand is that you have air moving through the pipes. When you combine that with digital sounds, you have more possibilities for varied sounds," Rauscher said.
Because of the multiple elements of organ design like pipe length, digital enhancement and the presence of sound-dampening shutters in the chambers, the instrument becomes an orchestra on its on.
The fanfare of trumpets might greet Easter morning, while sounds of the mournful oboe might signal the penance of Lent, Rauscher said.
"Every emotion can be conveyed just by different sounds," he said.
While interest in organ music comes and goes, Rauscher said he believes it is coming back in style.
"In the last 10 years, all indications are that interest is growing and growing," he said. "It's a unique type of music, and when you are in there live experiencing it, there's nothing to compare it with. There's nothing that can recreate being in a big space with a good organ."

THN's Ross McLean "Scouting Blog" - Teemu Pulkkinen
Posted 05 January 2011 - 06:21 PM
Posted 05 January 2011 - 06:23 PM
Pulkkinen looks poised to be another one of those amazing Detroit draft day steals we have all become so familiar with. The Red Wings took a chance on a kid who had a tough couple of years, sustaining injuries that kept him out of this tournament last year and most of last season. How could a top-round talent fall to the mid-rounds? It was thought this elite player was losing one of the most crucial years of development and that scared a lot of teams off.
s***, I love this organization!

As for the scouts, this tournament isnt always just about the prospects who havent been drafted yet, but also about the ones who got away.
Referring obviously to Pulkkinen.
It is, and always will be a privilege to be a Wings fan.

One thing that's always puzzled me...how come our superstars are 4th and 5th round picks but guys drafted in the first round for us rarely make the same impact?
I guess drafting a Canadian or American in the 1st round is a safe bet and some guy no one's heard of on this side of the atlantic with a 4th is just what we do.

Sounds encouraging to have two well regarded prospects at the WJC-- go JKROK (KNow what I'm sayin?)
Had to log in just to +1 that.
I wonder if Teemu stays in Europe for another year or two or fast tracks to the NHL and comes over to play for GR next season. He is almost putting up a PPG for Jokerit as a boy playing in a mens league, I think he could put up good numbers in GR if given the chance. With some of the older guys moving on soon and our core starting to hit the 30's wouldn't mind seeing Tatar, Mursak, Smith, Pulkkinen, Jarnkrok, etc getting to the show ASAP.

Iron Hook and Pulu should each spend one more year in Europe. If they show signs of improvement then give them at least one year in the AHL.
Agreed. The thing about players like this is that while they can dominate in the European leagues or the WJC with just their skill and level and hockey instincts, the same will not be true for the NHL. When the opposing team has 4th line grinders with the same skill level (note that I don't mean this in any way demeaningly, Järnkrok and Pulkkinen are just both too young to have reached their full potential) AND they have a ton more physicality it leads to players like this being smothered. They simply can't play their own game because their style is more like that of a top 6 forward than a grinder. This means they can't be given the amount of minutes they need to fully grow into their potential, and can be disastrous for their development. The Wings are traditionally very good at giving their prospects time to reach the level they need to actually succeed in the NHL, not just survive, and I would expect no less in the case of these two.
We'll just have to be patient and think of all the highlight-reel goals these two will give us in years to come.

Pulkkinen - Jarnkrok - Tatar
next dominant Euro line for the Red Wings?
Too many guys that should have the freedom to play with the puck while no Holmstrom on there to do the dirty work.
Posted 07 January 2011 - 09:48 AM
Franzen. Tater. Pulkkinnen
Mursak. Filppula. Nyquist
Callahan. Helm. Eaves
Yea, that would be crazy...
Which brings me to....
Kronwall. Smith
Stuart. Rafalski?
Ericsson. Kindl
We maybe should flip a forward prospect (Ferraro, Sheahan, or one of the above) for a d-man. That D is suspect...although I would imagine Kent brings in a FA anyway if Lidstrom didn't pull a Chelios.

In the coming years I'd imagine the forward line-up could look something like...
Of course, none of us really know how well these guys will progress, but this is one of my guesses. I'm seeing Cleary as the clear Holmstrom replacement on that top line, should Babs keep the Eurotwins together.
I think Tatar has shown in his time with the Red Wings that despite his size, he's willing to play a tenacious game. I know about his offensive, but I was pleasantly surprised by his puck pursuit after he lost it. He chased down loose pucks and fore-checked well, while maintaining all of his offensive flash.
The third line worries me a bit in terms of its defensive ability. Nyquist has shown himself to be a strong two-way player, but the other two... I think this might be a case where someone like Joakim Andersson may step in and steal the spot. By that time, it might even be his spot and Jarnkrok will have to steal it from him. Andersson's shown himself to be a very capable defensive player, and has been putting up some points of late for the Griffins as well.
I think that perhaps Mursak might find himself on the outside looking in, which I hate to say since he's pretty much my favorite Red Wings prospect. I think everyone else on the 4th line could be rotated in and out of the line-up. Helm and Abdelkader can both play center, and Eaves/Callahan could battle for spots as well. Ideally, I'd like to see all of them rotate on a regular basis, letting the strongest players play for lengths of time.
As someone else said, we've got tons of offensive depth, so it might be in the team's best interest to swap someone out and add some defensive depth. I believe a solid right-handed, offensive defenseman is needed in the system. Pyett has kind of crapped out, in my opinion. I think that maybe Nick Jensen has the most room for growth here. I guess we'll see, but I do have high hopes for our forward depth.
Posted 07 January 2011 - 12:20 PM
I think so too. If they come over after next season they will probably be in the AHL but see call ups every now and then.
Iron Hook and Pulu should each spend one more year in Europe. If they show signs of improvement then give them at least one year in the AHL.
Its looking like Pulu will be NHL ready quicker because he has already put on the weight necessary but Jarnkrok is still pretty light.
We should get at least 1 first line 70 point player out of pulu, krok, tatar and nyquist I hope. If we don't I will be really disappointed. Then between Sheahan and Mursak I'm hoping for at least one guy who can be a solid second line contributor.
That would give us some good players who can be added too through free agency or future drafts

This is what I've been telling everyone! Only I've been calling it a "swoop", e.g. http://channel9.msdn.com/Series/Windows-8-Tips/Windows-8-Tips-2-Charms
The "shortcut" I think is most important to know for the charms is that you don't really have to "hover" in the corner and wait for them to appear before moving up/down to the one you want. It works much better if instead you "swoop around the corner" in one continuous motion. This is not only faster, but also feels nicer and is more reliable because the momentum from moving to the corner will continue and prevent you from falling out of the edge.
(btw, Search works the same, but from the upper right corner)

All about joints!
Fibrous Joints
The bones are joined by fibrous tissue, namely dense fibrous connective tissue, and no joint cavity is present.
Joints held together by a ligament where fibrous tissue can vary in length, mostly joined by dense fibrous connective tissue and has NO joint cavity.
Slightly movable articular surface covered with hyaline cartilage that is attached to fibrocartilage.
The most abundant joint type in the body, opposing bones separated by fluid filled cavity. Classified as Diathrotic (Free movements)
Synovial Fluid
A fluid that occupies all free spaces within the joint capsule, derived largely by filtration from blood flowing through the capillaries in the synovial membrane. It is essentially lubricant.
Articular Cartilage
Hyaline cartilage covers the opposing bone surfaces and the main function is to absorb compression.
"Purse" are flattened fibrous sacs lined with synovial membrane and containing a thin film of synovial fluid, occuring where bones rub together.
Tendon Sheath
Essentially an elongated bursa that wraps completely around a tendon subjected to friction, like a bun around a hot dog. Common where several tendons crowd together within narrow canals.
Muscle Tone
The most important joint stablizer of synovial joints, defined as low levels of contractile activity in relaxed muscles that keep the muscles healthy and ready to react to stimulation.
A term that describes over 100 different types of inflamatory or degenerative diseases that damage joints.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
An autoimmune disease that is more prevalent in women that is highly disfiguring.
The most common form of arthritis. 33% of USA have evidence of it. Progressive loss of articular cartilage and synovitis due to enzymatic breakdown of joint structures.
Coracohumeral Ligament
Provides the only strong thickening of the capsule and helps support the weight of the upper limb.
Glenohumeral Ligament
Three of them strengthen the front of the capsule somewhat but are weak and mya even be absent.
IS inflammation of tendon sheaths, typically caused by over use. Symptoms are pain and swelling and treatment is rest, ice, and NSAIDS)

Aerosmith Music from Another Dimension/Columbia
Its been more than a decade since weve heard new original music from Aerosmith.
So after waiting so long, what do Aerosmith fans get?
The answer is a decidedly mixed bag of music.
Lead singer Steve Tyler spent a couple of seasons judging for American Idol, and at one point Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry stated that Tyler had left the band and that auditions for a new singer would commence shortly.
With all the drama, fans probably should be thankful to be getting anything from Aerosmith.
Still, tepid songs such as LUV XXX, Tell Me and Cant Stop Lovin You (which features Tyler singing with country star Carrie Underwood) likely will leave some fans scratching their heads.
Those tunes and others seem like rejects from the bands Pump era, and despite having years to recharge their batteries, the band sounds listless and uninspired on a lot of the album.
There are a few winning moments, as on Out Go the Lights, when the band seems to recall the period of time when they rocked harder than just about any band in America.
To Tylers credit, his voice still sounds as spry as it did on Toys in the Attic, which was released more than 35 years ago.
While the album itself is mediocre, at least we know that the inevitable world tour holds some promise.
Key Tracks: Out Go the Lights, Legendary Child, Lover Alot
Mike Doughty The Flip is Another Honey/Red
If you want to read a great story about overcoming drug addiction and major label rejection, Google Mike Doughty.
After rising from the ashes of Soul Coughing, one of the more original bands of the 90s, Doughty started a solo career that went from him selling CD-Rs from the trunk of his rental car on the road to having his music played on radio, in films and on many popular TV shows.
A lover of words, Doughtys songs are almost always as cerebral as they are funky. The Flip is Another Honey finds Doughty leaning back toward his Soul Coughing roots without quite making a total connection.
For the most part, this is an album of covers, but since Doughty has his own way of doing things musically, these covers are anything but straightforward.
The opener, Sunshine, features Doughty rapping over samples of John Denvers Sunshine on My Shoulders.
Doughty also revisits the work of the late country/folk singer with a more traditional (for him, at least) version of Take Me Home, Country Roads that features Rosanne Cash.
Other interesting moments include takes on Sit Down, Youre Rocking the Boat from Guys & Dolls, Cheap Tricks Southern Girls and Reach Out, and Randy Newmans Mankind.
Other artists covered include Red House Painters, Low, Doveman and Thin Lizzy.
Countless artists have gone the cover album route, but Doughty gets extra points for mixing things up a bit.
Key Tracks: Sunshine, Southern Girls, Mistress
Soundgarden King Animal/Seven Four/Republic
In the days of grunge rock, which now seem oh-so long ago, there was any number of rock bands that had varying degrees of success.
There were also a few titans of the genre, including Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains and, of course, Soundgarden.
Soundgarden was never apologetic about its heavy sound it was the Black Sabbath of its day and between the howling vocals of Chris Cornell and the sludgy guitar riffs of Kim Thayil, few bands came close to its power.
After breaking up in 1997, the band reunited a couple of years ago. After a successful tour, the band headed back into the studio.
Fans of that distinct Soundgarden sound of the 90s will be happy to hear that it remains largely intact 16 years after the band released its last studio album.
Once again, Cornells voice and Thayils ax are in sync with one another, and the resulting music doesnt issue forth from your speakers or headphones so much as it oozes, like an evil musical syrup from another planet.
Tracks such as Been Away Too Long and A Thousand Days Before will have you digging for your copy of Superunknown for comparison.
The albums best track, the dark and foreboding Blood on the Valley Floor, ends any argument fans might be having about Soundgardens return to form.
While the band members are a decade and a half older than when the last album was released, they still havent forgotten how to rock.

BAY CITY, MI — For the 10th year running, First United Church of Christ is looking to brighten Thanksgiving for area residents, and Freda Nader, pastor at the church, is looking forward to it.
"We like to express to the community that we do share the love of God and we care for everybody in the community with our prayers and our gift to the community with this free dinner," Nader said. "It's so rewarding to see people eating and happy and getting their stomach full and enjoying themselves."
The church's 10th annual Thanksgiving dinner is scheduled from 4-7 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 25 at First United Church of Christ, 1710 S Wenona St. Attendees can dine in, but meal organizers also are offering take-out dinners and will make deliveries to those living in area high-rises like Bradley House and Pine Towers.
Nader said everyone from the community is invited to attend, not just the needy.
"If a doctor or anybody is walking around, why not?" she said. "Come in and join us."
Jennifer Bichel, a church member and the event's coordinator, said this event works to provide both food and fellowship for participants.
"There's some people that just need a place to feel welcome and to just be around other individuals," she said.
This year, Bichel said she expects more than 500 people to participate, and asked that those interested make reservations by calling 989-894-2430. That's the same number to call for take-out orders.
Donations to support the event will be accepted at the door, or ahead of time, to cover an estimated cost of approximately $1,000.
First United's dinner falls the day before The Salvation Army of Bay City holds its own Thanksgiving dinner, which plans to serve its guests from 6-8 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 26, at the Bay County Community Center, 800 John F.
