a place for zinesters - writers and readers
I haven't posted here much; I'm a lazy lazy man. I've been putting out the zine The Inner Swine since 1995. (www.innerswine.com)
1995. Damn, I'm an old man, too.
Wanted to mention that I just put the latest issue up as an Amazon Kindle title. 99 cents. I figure I'll do this for all future issues. I set it up for unlimited lending as well.
Anyone else have any experience putting a zine out on Kindle? Any advice?
Here's the link if anyone's interested:

That's pretty cool, Jeff. As you know, I have The Whirligig's 3-9 issues available as an e-book, including in MOBI (Kindle) format. I'll also get it up on Amazon shortly.
I think it'd be interesting to see how many zinesters cross over into the new medium. On the one hand, it's great distro and a new way to reach readers. On the other hand, it takes away some of the enjoyable "cut and paste" textile-type joy from zining.

After seeing what some people have gotten, it looks like some one at Woot took apart their computer and mailed pieces of it to fellow wooters.

You know what this means, don't you? They were lovers, your giraffe and my donkey. They lived together in domestic bliss at the Woot warehouse, dancing their hearts out to Primetime Sexytime whenever they wanted. It was heaven.
Then, one fateful day, Colonel Crap and his crew came to call. The Colonel knew nothing of the love affair, because he had never seen them together. Who would think two souls from two different species could find true love?
In an effort to fill the many bags of crap, your giraffe was sent one way, and my donkey was sent another. It happened so suddenly, they didn't even get the chance to say good bye.
I don't blame the Colonel. Indeed, no one is really to blame here. It is just the way life goes, sometimes.
So do me this favor, wanderbug2 -- show your giraffe my video. Tell him/her my donkey sends his/her love, and will remember him/her very fondly in his/her heart. Always.
First time getting a Blinged-Out Cabbage!
This was 3.3 lbs, 12"x9.5"x9.5"
3 Texas Air
1 Large Royal Blue shirt (not pictured - already claimed by my dad)
1 Terrific Turkey Temperature Probe (not pictured - already claimed by my mom)
1 "?" brown paper bag
1 screaming caped terror
1 red leather kindle case
2 spitball dartboards
The spitball dartboards are pretty awesome. I'm thinking of taping them to my bulletin board and using real darts. Thanks woot!
P.S. Please consider including a kindle in my next Bouts of Consternation so I can put the case to good use :D
The guy with the letter said a couple of pages back that he made a mistake and it wasn't from Woot:

My Bucket of Charcoal arrived by SmartPost while I was out this afternoon. The box was just 1 lb., and it was 14x10x8 with room to spare.

Any help identifying the model would be welcomed and appreciated.
If there's a part number on the card, type it into Google and see what pops up.

I had earlier tried searching the HP parts site without success. Shoulda known better.
The part number matches the GeForce FX 5700 with 256MB of memory.
Will have to check it out tomorrow.

Yah they seem to get lost in the fedex warehouse everytime, once usps gets a hold of it I usually get it in one or two days.
Don't know what I'm getting yet, but it's 2.7lbs. of craptacularness. Won't be here until next Thu, though!
alanhwoot wrote:Here's my 6lbs of crap.
1x Fruit of the Loom red XL t-shirt, plain (not pictured)
1x Purple sunflower bag
1x Spitball dartboard
1x Diva Darling microfiber facial mitt
1x Chuck Norris (non)talking plushie
1x SIGG water bottle cleaning tables (20 tablet pack)
1x Dell AT101W keyboard, very very used
The last was why the package was so heavy. This is one of the old built-like-a-tank keyboards, and appears to date from the late 1990s. Congrats to the Woot staffer who finally got a new computer to replace their Windows 95 box.
YES I got the same crap except my keyboard is a very, very used old HP (not USB)my Bouts of Consternation was 4.6 lb.plus 11 bags of Texas air.
Thanks Woot !!!
Holy CRAP, I'm 17 pages behind!!! That's what I get for not reading this thread for a few days, huh?
I was all excited to come shout and gloat, "My crap is here!!! My crap is here!!!" since I had seen delivery estimates of the 4th...but see that I'm far from the first. Mine was waiting for me when I got home a little while ago. It was partially opened (see comment below), but contained:
1. The purple sunflower bag (retails for $1)---like/will most definitely use
2. The spitball dartpad (retails for $1)---hmmmmm *thinking*
3. The pink Diva Darling microfiber facial mitt---will use, since I'm a girly-girl
4. The Chuck Norris doll---if he were holding karate nunchucks in his hands instead of guns, nephews would LOVE it---AuntieRegina might have to do some crafty weapon-transplant surgery.
5. The box of bottle-clean tablets. Will try, but would probably never buy to keep using.
6. Nice Fruit-of-the-Loom XL blank t-shirt in a very pretty CarribeanBlue/tealish color. It doesn't look like an irregular to me, so far. I like it! Now just to choose which graphic to apply as an iron-on transfer!!!
7. Two---TWO---bug-zapper rackets; one blue, one red---very patriotic for Memorial Day and 4th of July picnics. I JUST BOUGHT A PAIR (both yellow) NOT EVEN 2 WKS AGO FROM ANOTHER SITE!!!! At least I can personally testify that they DO work (are effective), and having 4 to leave scattered about in strategic locations will definitely come in handy this time of year in north Alabama.
If it hasn't been mentioned yet, there was a hilarious video on AFV 2-3 weeks ago with some shirtless dudes sitting around on a porch (I feel certain that the drinkage of beer was involved, and that these boys were from Mississippi, Arkansas, or yes, even possibly my own beloved Alabama, *sigh*.) Anyway, one of them didn't believe they would work, so he decided to try it out on himself. You should have seen him just about jump out of his skin as it zapped his NIPPLE!!! LOL
(If no one has done it yet, I'll see if I can find/post a clip of that in the next day or two.)
8. Six green bags of Texas air. All were still full and doing their duty.
9. A cashier's check for 10 million dollars!!!! <---just kidding...wishful thinking.
Sorry for no pic...I much prefer seeing pics of Bouts of Consternation contents myself, as opposed to lists like I did...but I'm too tired to lay it out/stage it, take a pic, upload the pic, and post it. Yes, I'm THAT tired, LOL.
Oh, back to the open box....
I've thought this for quite a long time, and most recently when I ordered my Motorola Xoom from Deals.woot, but I really, really wish that Woot would STOP printing the contents of my order on the shipping label for postal employees (and anyone else who looks) to see. So many people know what Woot is (my rural post office sure does, as much as I've ordered over 7 years!) and when something desirable or enticing is printed on the label, you might as well print "here ya go--come and get it if you want this" right along with it.
In my case, I think it must have been that George Clooney was feeling a bit cramped in the box after the long trip and needed more air (he didn't want to suck it out of the green bags, b/c, you know, who would want to breathe TEXAS air??? *ducks and runs for cover*)----so when he broke the tape from the inside in order to get a little more leg-room and air once he got to the Heart of Dixie, he realized he could actually escape my box entirely. *heavy sigh*
Now I have to go set a trap in case he's living in the woods behind my pond.
Kind of crazy..people getting their stuff already. I was notified today (technically yesterday, Friday) that mine finally shipped...should have it in about 5 or 6 days now. This seems to be the norm for what I receive.
Still a better love story than Twilight.

1 Sunflower bag
1 Chuck Norris (non) talking plushie

1 watch made in China
1 Rust-colored FotL blank shirt with the size cut out. Looks to be too big for me and too small for hubby
1 Spitball Dartboard
1 TMI stamp http://www.knockknockstuff.com/catalog/categories/accessories/self-inking-stamps/tmi-stamp/
5 Texas airbags
Got my Bunch of Change today! Three whole days early, even. Personally delivered to my door (in the rain, no less) by our local postie. (I've seen others complain about their P.O's handling of SmartPost, but ours seems to be really on the ball.)
The contents:
Bags of Texas air - 13x (lucky?)
Gwen's Nest Sunflower Re-usable shopping bag
Sigg Bottle Clean Tablets - box of 20
Diva Darling microfiber facial mitt
Jerzees T-shirt blue - size S (my 2nd blue Jerzees shirt in a row, this one doesn't fit, though.
Optoma pico pocket projector screen
SKC Men's mesh band quartz watch
and, the true gem of the haul:
Chuck Norris Talking plushie doll (non-talking, unfortunately), armed with machine pistols in both hands, with a mini-booklet of Chuck Norris sayings ("Chuck Norris doesn't wear a watch, he decides what time it is.")
Picture (with obligatory demon kitty):
I got lucky, my 28.7 pounder was able to bulldoze through the guards and make it out of New Berlin in a little over 6 hours.
That has to be a record.

I have to wait a day or two to open it and HOPE my daughter has enough sense NOT to open it before I get there.
I forgot to mention that I didn't receive my notice from Woot until late last night, AFTER the Bouts of Consternation was delivered. LOL! Can't wait to get home and see what kind of crap I got! I scored two Bouts of Consternation in a row last year, but have been striking out for over a year now. Soooo excited to score again!
I've ordered tons of stuff over the years from Woot, but the box of crap still eludes me, whyyyyyyyyyy Woot Gods, whyyyyyy????
So after reading all these fun descriptions of boxes received by others, I have gone and stuffed an official Woot shipping box with lots of random objects laying around and sealed it shut. Later I will sneak it around near my front door. Even later today, I will casually stroll to the front door and extract a waiting Woot box and will proceed to rip it open with shrieks of joy and all the pretend-play I can muster. Welcome home my long-awaited box of crap.
Perhaps I'll even post a picture of 'what I got'.
It could happen.

1 3XL Dark Green Shirt
2 bags of Texas air
1 box of task clips
1 official Bouts of Consternation brown paper bag
1 Admetior Terrific Turkey
1 Cyber Acoustics Kindle Leather cover
1 Trendy Budz earphones
and ...
1 Herrington Cow Parade
Buds and cow doll will be of good use.
I received my crap 2 days early!
1x Woot! branded cardboard chinchilla playroom in which there could be found:
4x bags of suspect Texas air
1x Diva Darling microfiber facial mitt - pink.
1x purple sunflower reusable shopping bag.
1x Chuck Norris talking plushie that apparently destroyed it's own battery.
1x frighteningly orange t-shirt, plain M
1x steel SKC ladies watch
1x box of Bottle Clean tablets
and 1x Leather protective cover for Kindle, which pairs wonderfully with my 1x leather protective cover for a 7" Galaxy Tab from my LAST bag of crap. Sadly, neither of which pair with a kindle or Galaxy Tab, because I don't own them, so there you go.
Thanks, Woot!

I think it would be funny as hell if Woot could somehow get ahold of thousands of F5 keys (pried off old keyboards, perhaps?) and send them out in Bouts of Consternation. Too late for this one, though!
Picked my 3.7 lbs bag up from the post office today.
1. The usual bags of Texas air (I didn't count them)
2. Sunflower bag
3. Talking Chuck Norris that refuses to talk
4. Sigg bottle clean tablets
5. Made in China metal watch (seems to work)
6. Diva Darling facial mitt
7. Red Jerzees t-shirt with the size cut off (seems like a small?)
8. Ecko unltd jeans (how did you guess my size, Woot?)
I'll definitely wear the jeans, so this was a worthwhile Bag for me. The rest will be given away or sent off to my mom's next garage sale.
Thanks, Woot!

UPDATE 5-RBC keeps close eye on Vancouver and Toronto housing markets
* CEO says RBC can react quickly if situations materialise
* CFO says jury out on impact of Vancouver real estate tax
* Earnings per share of C$1.72 edge past expectations (Adds comment from CFO interview)
By Matt Scuffham
TORONTO, Aug 24 (Reuters) - Royal Bank of Canada, Canada's biggest bank, said it was closely monitoring home prices in Vancouver and Toronto after reporting slightly higher-than-expected quarterly earnings on Wednesday.
Canada's banks are facing heightened scrutiny of their mortgage underwriting practices as authorities try to tackle the potential threat of a housing bubble in the two cities, where prices have soared.
RBC Chief Executive Officer Dave McKay said the bank was watching those markets, although it has less exposure to Vancouver than rivals.
"We have prudent underwriting practices in place, with the necessary technology to closely monitor these markets and quickly react if situations materialise," McKay said.
He added that the bank supported the federal government's move to set up a working group to look at the issue. Continued...

Dr. Kellie Harris
Dr. Kellie Harris graduated in 1996 from the University of the Pacific dental school in San Francisco, Ca. After graduation Dr. Harris knew she wanted to practice dentistry in a small town so she attended a 1-year postgraduate residency in General dentistry. She felt this would give her a better understanding of all the specialties. During her residency she found her passion in Cosmetic Dentistry!
Dr Harris has made a commitment to that passion by continuing to learn and expand. She attends approximately 150 hours of continuing education every year. Most of which are focused on cosmetic dentistry. In 2000 she attended the prestigious P.A.C Live Program. This was one of the first hands on esthetic courses in the country. She graduated from both the anterior esthetic and full mouth reconstruction. This program has forever changed the way I do dentistry. Not only do I look at the beauty of what I do, but concentrate on the functional aspect so that my work last a long time.

|The Organization
Origins of Heritage Watch
Heritage Watch was founded in 2003 by archaeologist Dougald O'Reilly following the rampant looting of Phum Snay, an immense Iron Age burial ground in Cambodia's northwest. After its discovery in 1999, Phum Snay was decimated by looters seeking its rich grave offerings—beautiful ceramics, iron weapons and gold and bronze jewelry. Dr. O'Reilly led rescue excavations at the site, but 90% of it was already lost. Realizing that an entire chapter of Cambodia's history was disappearing, he made it his mission to promote the protection of the country's heritage. To better achieve this goal, he founded Heritage Watch.
What does Heritage Watch Do?
Cambodia's great archaeological heritage is being decimated by widespread looting. Heritage Watch is a non-profit organization dedicated to halting this destruction and saving Cambodia's cultural legacy.
Heritage Watch seeks to:
• Create through tourism greater public awareness about Cambodia's fascinating heritage.
• Discourage heritage destruction and the illegal trade of antiquities.
• Encourage and highlight responsible tourism - including promotion of alternative destinations to alleviate stress on heritage sites.
• Bring together the private, public and non-governmental sectors in a nation wide campaign of collaboration and cooperation.
• Encourage businesses to promote the arts, culture, heritage and development projects in Cambodia.
• Promote Heritage Watch principles directly to the Cambodian community
Heritage Watch Achievements
In its first few years of operations, Heritage Watch has accomplished a great deal. With generous funding from the U.S. Department of State, it launched a national public awareness campaign targeting both those who loot and buy antiquities.
Key milestones of the campaign include:
• Working at the grass-roots level promoting heritage preservation in a series of village workshops.
• Producing TV and radio ads to stop looting.
• Running a telephone hotline to receive reports of looting.
• Hosting a 2-month exhibition at gallery near Angkor Wat
• Publishing a comic book and a children's book for free distribution.
• Training young Cambodian archaeologists.
But education about heritage preservation can only go so far—immediate action is also needed. Early in 2006, Heritage Watch began rescue excavations at Wat Jas, an Iron Age cemetery in northwestern Cambodia that was increasingly targeted by looters. In addition to this, Heritage Watch documented threatened sites across the country, recording at-risk objects in case they are stolen in the future. And since looting cannot be combated until it is better understood, the organization is actively monitoring the trade in Cambodian antiquities, through auction house sales and the internet.
At the ancient temple complex of Koh Ker, Heritage Watch has an innovative project underway combining preservation with sustainable tourism development.
The Heritage Friendly Business Campaign seeks to enhance the unique character of Cambodia as a destination by rewarding businesses that give back to Cambodia and support its heritage, culture and art.
International Recognition
What began as a one-man crusade has since become a thriving organization with a high regional profile. Heritage Watch's Board of Directors includes international leaders in the field of Southeast Asian studies. The organization has frequently been featured in both the national and the international media, including The London Times, The Associated Press, The BBC, and in a documentary on the U.S. Public Broadcasting Station.
Heritage Watch has received international awards for its work to save Cambodia's cultural heritage, including:
• The Tourism Cares Award in 2007 for its work at Koh Ker developing sustainable incomes based on tourism and for working with the local population in preserving the site.
• The Pacific Asia Travel Association's Gold Award in 2007 for the Heritage Friendly Tourism Campaign.
• Archaeological Institute of America's (AIA) 2009, Conservation and Heritage Management Award.
• World Travel and Tourism Council 2009, Tourism for Tomorrow, Destination Stewardship Finalist.
Heritage Watch has twice been the recipient of the U.S. Ambassador's Fund for Cultural Heritage, and has also received awards from UNESCO, Friends of Khmer Culture, Lonely Planet Publications, and number private organizations and donors.
Plans for the Future
Heritage Watch has already initiated a number of important projects, and numerous others are planned for the future. Heritage Watch will further its educational efforts with If The Stones Could Speak, a storybook promoting heritage preservation that will be a key part of a planned youth education program. A campaign is also underway to petition the governments of Singapore and Thailand to meet the international standard for regulating the antiquities trade by signing the 1970 UNESCO Convention.

Finding affordable car insurance at reasonable prices can be a bit of a task. But it doesn't have to be difficult. Where people used to sit in their agents' offices to secure auto insurance for their vehicles, you can now easily go online and compare the rates and coverages available from many different insurance companies, with just some information and a mouse click.
From a single site, you'll be able to secure car insurance quotes from many prominent companies. Check your current insurance card and see if the liability limits will still apply as far as you are concerned, when you go with an insurance company that you select online. You won't want to pay for more insurance than you need, but you don't want cheap car insurance that won't cover you fully, either.
Comparing policies offered by various companies can save you hundreds of dollars a year, while still securing good coverage for your dollar. If your current premiums seem high, compare similar coverage with other companies, to see if you can do better, without losing necessary coverage.
To determine the correct amount of insurance you need, check into the laws for your state or region. These statistics are often available online when you are working to compare car insurance policies from different companies. What do you need in addition to your state minimum coverage? If you have a lien on your car, you'll need to cover everything, so that the car can be repaired or replaced if you are involved in an accident. If you have an older vehicle, you may opt for liability and medical payment coverage (also known as PLPD) to cover your liability, but not the car itself, since almost any accident would probably total the car out, and it will be cheaper just to find another old car.
How much insurance should you purchase from the best of car insurance companies that you choose through comparison online? Your financial situation has a lot to do with this. If you don't have assets that could be gone after if your liability exceeds your coverage, then you may want to opt for lower limits, as long as they are at or above your state minimum.
Additionally, your driving habits will weigh on the cost of your new car insurance. If you have had recent accidents or tickets, you can expect to pay higher premiums. But that's no reason not to compare what's available from various car insurance companies.
Familiarize yourself with the various coverage amounts in any online insurance quotes you receive when you compare companies. Understand the terms of your potential policy, and what they mean to you. When you compare car insurance online, you will be able to get quotes readily, with just the basic information entered. It's not much time to spend, to save money on your car insurance.
Some of the quotes you get from multiple-quote sites will not be available instantly. The individual companies may have someone contact you, to verify or confirm your information. Internet-based providers will sell you their best car insurance online, while major carriers may want you to contact a local agent.
There are many companies online that will sell you affordable car insurance. Research the companies whose quotes seem the most promising, to determine that their coverages are sufficient for your needs. Check the various rates, whether you pay monthly, semi-annually or annually, to be sure that the car insurance quotes are giving you the same type of coverage for the cost they have listed. If your driving record is good, you should be able to get auto insurance at rates that are reasonable.

UAF study finds extensive Arctic thawing
Research focused on East Siberian Arctic Shelf methane emissions
ANCHORAGE – The amount of methane released from the Arctic seafloor doubles previous estimates, scientists from the University of Alaska Fairbanks' International Arctic Research Center found.
According to new data published in a recent issue of Nature Geosciene, authored by UAF researchers Natalia Shakhova and Igor Semiletov, the East Siberian Arctic Shelf vents more than 17 million tons of methane into the atmosphere annually.
The findings are part of an ongoing UAF research project. The two scientists' twice-yearly expeditions to the Arctic revealed the subsea permafrost had thawed much more extensively than previously believed, and Shakhova said the amount of methane released from the warming sea floor now rivaled the amount released from the Arctic tundra.
"Increased methane releases in this area are a possible new climate change-driven factor that will strengthen over time," Shakhova said.
The research team used techniques ranging from sonar and visual imagery to seafloor drilling to determine the amount of methane released. Because the gas traps heat so effectively, they said their findings could have far-reaching implications for global climate change.
"We believe that the release of methane from the Arctic, and in particular this part of the Arctic, could impact the entire globe," Shakhova said.

Standard and Poor's Ratings Services has announced that it will require additional credit enhancement for certain loans that are governed by anti-predatory lending laws and that are included in its rated mortgage-backed securities.
Standard and Poor's reported on May 13, 2004, that it will require additional credit enhancement for loans covered by antipredatory lending laws that it believes contain subjective or unclear standards—such as poorly or undefined net tangible benefit and repayment-ability tests—in determining whether loans are "predatory."
Standard and Poor's, which made the changes following a comprehensive year-long review of more than 40 federal, state, and local anti-predatory laws, said it anticipates that an increasing number of loans governed by these laws are likely to be included in its rated transactions.
It said it will continue to exclude from its rated pools high-cost home loans as defined in New Jersey's anti-predatory law.
The additional credit enhancement is based on Standard and Poor's assessment of potential losses in the securitization, including such factors as the number of successful lawsuits likely to be asserted against the issuer, statutory borrower rights, and the maximum potential damages that could be awarded.
Standard and Poor's identified some jurisdictions, including Pennsylvania, in which existing anti-predatory lending laws do not impose any additional assignee liability.
The rating agency said that it may waive additional credit enhancements if a seller of loans meets financial-capacity requirements. It noted that in assessing risks from anti-predatory lending laws, it looks for clear language that enables originators or sellers to comply with the law.

Modification of Porous Alumina Ceramics with Bioinert and Bioactive Glass Coatings
Miao, Xigeng (2008) Modification of Porous Alumina Ceramics with Bioinert and Bioactive Glass Coatings. Advanced Materials Research, 32, pp. 211-214.
|PDF (835kB)
Porous biomaterials including porous bioceramics play important roles for hard tissue replacement and regeneration. In this paper, porous alumina (with and without zirconia addition) ceramics were produced via coating polyurethane (PU) foams with Al2O3 (ZrO2) slurries, followed by drying at room temperature and sintering at 1300 oC. The advantage of the PU foam method was the achieved high pore interconnectivity, but the mechanical properties of the porous ceramics were rather poor due to the high macroporosity and the high microporosity. To remove the microporosity and strengthen the porous alumina ceramics, a lanthanum-modified aluminosilicate (LAS) glass was used to infiltrate the alumina struts. Nevertheless, the resulting LAS-modified macroporous alumina ceramics would have no ability to bond to bone tissue. To impart a bioactivity (i.e. the ability of bone bonding) to the bioinert porous ceramics, a bioactive glass layer was applied by dipping with the bioactive glass slurry and sintering at 1200 oC. The twice coated porous alumina ceramics would exhibit high compressive strengths, allow bone tissue ingrowth, and form strong bone-material integration. A biodegradable filler of calcium phosphate cement was also incorporated for additional drug delivery function. A possible application of the porous bioceramics would be for the maxillofacial reconstruction.

London Calling: Why the Libor Affair Matters to YouBy
Stories about the London Interbank Offered Rate (Libor) typically don't set one's heart aflutter. This one should: Investigators in the U.S. Canada, Japan, the U.K., and the European Union are trying to figure out if a handful of brokers and traders manipulated a key benchmark rate that affects the price of $350 trillion worth of securities and loans around the world. That may include your car loan or even your home mortgage. No banks or individuals have been charged with any wrongdoing. Yet even if the case fizzles out, there is something weird about an internationally recognized benchmark interest rate set by a small group of financial professionals with little transparency or regulatory oversight.
Libor is the rough equivalent of the U. S. federal funds rate—that is, the interest rate that banks charge each other. These rates, set by a 16-bank panel and calculated and published daily by Thomson Reuters on behalf of the British Bankers Association, cover a variety of currencies and time durations, from overnight to 12 months. In theory, any given Libor rate is the average bank borrowing cost for unsecured funds, based on data supplied by participating lenders and representing market conditions. Think of it as a daily temperature reading of the money markets.
A variety of U.S. mortgage products are directly influenced by these market rates. The typical American adjustable rate mortgage is indexed to the six-month Libor, plus a 2 percent to 3 percent premium, according to Investopedia. Also, when the credit markets are in turmoil, as they were in 2008, a soaring Libor rate raises funding costs for global banks. Lenders in turn typically pass those higher borrowing costs to Main Street.
In mid-February, Bloomberg News broke the story of a court filing from Canada's Competition Bureau in which an unnamed bank alleged a scheme by bankers to manipulate the yen Libor rate to increase trading profits. Canadian regulators are trying to figure out if traders acted in unison "to see a higher or lower yen Libor to aid their trading positions," according to the court filing. Since then, other global regulators have joined the hunt.
Money traders in London "regularly discussed where to set the measure with traders sitting near them, interdealer brokers and counterparts at rival banks," a Bloomberg News story reported, citing money-market traders with direct knowledge of procedures at three firms who asked not to be identified because they weren't authorized to speak about the subject. The practice became common after the money markets seized up four years ago, according to unnamed sources cited in the Bloomberg piece.
The money quote from the Bloomberg report: "A few hundred people, mostly based in one city and sitting in close proximity to each other, set an index rate for trillions of dollars of securities with little or no oversight," said Mark Sunshine, chief executive officer and chairman of Veritas Financial Partners, a Florida-based firm that provides loans to businesses and real estate companies.
This story is still evolving, so it's far too early to say whether anybody on planet Libor broke any laws. Yet that's almost beside the point. The idea of a clique of money traders setting such a crucial rate without any regulatory oversight is worrisome. After all, global bankers have been known to behave badly when left to their own devices.

Program Guidelines
16-595 Program Solicitation
The Arctic System Science Program (ARCSS) funds proposals or groups of proposals that advance our understanding of the Arctic as a system. ARCSS projects are often interdisciplinary and focus on the relationships among the physical, biological, chemical, and human processes that govern the cycling of energy and matter in the arctic system. The cycles of carbon, water, and energy are important to consider in investigating the functioning of the arctic system.
Most successful ARCSS projects do one or more of the following:
- Investigate important relationships among the various components of the arctic system,
- Identify self regulatory processes, feedbacks, or non-linear responses of the arctic system to physical or biogeochemical drivers,
- Advance understanding of the arctic system and its behavior through synthesis or modeling,
- Explore the consequences of environmental change on the arctic system either through impact assessment scenarios or vulnerability assessment,
- Address linkages between the Arctic and the Earth system.
All successful ARCSS proposals must identify explicitly how they will place their results in the context of system behavior and demonstrably contribute to system-level understanding. Being interdisciplinary does not by itself mean that a proposal is appropriate for ARCSS. PIs should ask themselves if their work addresses interactions among several components of the arctic system, explores emergent behavior in linked subsystems, or otherwise provides essential knowledge, and they should apply that knowledge to system-level understanding. The degree to which the proposed research advances arctic system understanding will be a key factor in judging its priority for ARCSS.
ARCSS enthusiastically seeks proposals, or groups of proposals, that directly advance system level understanding. ARCSS program directors are always keen to speak with prospective PIs about their research ideas.

Z3 Amplifier upgrade question
Hey all, this weekend I upgraded most of the speakers in my 2000 z3 2.3 and later this week the Integral Audio 8" sub kit will be arriving. I have a Rockford Fosgate P200-2 amplifier given to me for free that I will install to power the subwoofer.
BUT, although the new sound with the new speakers and without the terrible ~5 inch stock "subwoofer" assembly is quite improved already, I have a feeling that a little more uumph will be needed from the stock amp, especially at higher volumes and speeds with the top down.
So, I've been reading the forums, and I just want some guidance about replacing the stock amp. It seems some people have used 4 channel amps, but they use the head unit to power some speakers and such. I don't want to go that route because that is too complex for me. I'm thinking about keeping the Rockford for the sub and just getting a new amp for the other speakers, although I'll consider one big amp that can handle it all. But I don't mind the space that extra sub specific amp will take up.
So, the question is, should I get a 6 or 8 channel amp? The speakers are as follows...btw I am pretty sure I do not have the HK setup since I don't see HK on anything:
2 floor midbasses - about 5.25 inches I think
2 door tweeters
2 door midranges
2 behind the driver seat 4" midbasses
5 inch subwoofer POS that I removed and will be replacing with the Integral Audio 8" subwoofer.
I thought I heard that the tweeter and midrange have the same connection, but maybe not. I don't really know. Please help me out here, 6 or 8 channel. I think I can manage pulling all the plugs (or cutting and stripping them) from the stock amp and putting them in the new one.
Also, one more question....I suppose I also need (passive?) crossovers as I understand that is done in the current stock amp? What will that cost approximately? Do I need one for each channel or pair? Also, it seems that some people also buy a rather large capacitor - do I need that, and what terminals is that connected to. Lastly, please let me know anything I might have missed or any other guidance. Thanks a ton!
P.S. I don't really want to replace the head unit unless there is a really good reason to. I have a DICE setup with my ipod in the trunk that works fine for me.

5 channel amp would be ideal, but those are rare.
A 4 channel and a single sub amp also works.
However, the placement of the rear speakers in the Z3 mean you won't hear the rear speakers anyways, so why not just go without for a while and see if you miss them.
Then you can run a single 4 channel and bridge the rear channels for the sub.
They are pathetically small speakers and aimed at the rear of your seat.

Thanks Mpire. I suppose I could give that a try. I sort of noticed that too, that I couldn't really observe the sounds from those speakers while driving. So does that mean that the tweeter/midrange just needs a single channel to drive?
What you need to do is find some cheap crossovers on ebay and then pick up a 2 or 4 channel amp for the speakers.
I have to ask what speakers you upgraded to, as they should have come with crossovers and they should NOT be compatible with the factory amp.
The factory head unit is a pre-amp only setup, and requires an amp to function, so you really can't run the rear channels off the head unit, so you can nix that idea.
Personally, I think the factory head unit sounds just fine, the only downside is that some people complain about skipping, I don't have a skipping problem, but the roads in Florida are excellent and dramatically lacking potholes.
So you can go a few ways...
1) Get a 2 channel amp to run your front speakers and keep the mono sub amp you already have. (what my friend Mark is doing)
2) Get a 4 channel amp to run your front speakers and use the rear 2 channels bridged for the sub (what I am currently doing in the wife's car)
3) Get a 5 channel amp to run all 4 speakers and a sub (what I am doing in the SG)
4) Get a 4 channel amp to run all 4 speakers and add mono amp for the rear sub (what I am doing in the EB)
My friend Mark went with a 2 channel amp that was rather small. Here is a pic installed in the factory location.

Ah, Florida. Can't wait to move there at the end of summer - yeah, beginning of summer would be better but the job won't comply with that. In anticipation I bought my Z3
Because of these compatibility issues and my original desire to keep this project as simple as possible - in fact I was hoping to avoid messing with the amp - I went with the BSW stage 1. I have a variety of good mechanical, electrical, and car experience and skill, but no knowledge about car amps/audio systems so I figured I'd make it easy on myself and go with their "plug n play" solution. Since then I've read the thread below, so I know your opinions on the BSW...and also learned that a lot of people think the number 1 high priority upgrade should be an aftermarket amp.
Now that I know how easy it is to get to and change the speakers, I probably should have gone with something like Polks which would have come with a matched crossover, but I've already spent the money so for now at least, I'd like to keep them if possible/practical. The sub is coming this week, and I have that amp, so that should be another improvement. I figure after I also replace the stock amp, then I can re-evaluate the speakers if I'm not happy with the system.
But what I don't understand - even if you axe the rear speakers - then it seems that you have 6 speakers in the front of the car still, not four. Two in the floor - the 5 1/4s, and four in the door - the tweeter and that odd midrange speaker. In yours (and others who use 4 channel amps for everything but the sub) are you also axing the midrange in the door, so you are just listening to the tweeter and floor speakers (seems I can't do that with the BSW tweeter which compliments the stock midrange)? Or do you somehow run the midrange and tweeter off of one channel? If I am reading this wiring diagram right, it seems that the tweeter and midrange may already be running off the same channel (perhaps there is an internal crossover in the system)? That's what I don't quite get about how a 4 channel amp would work. I guess one of the above would have to be true, but I'm not sure which is the case.
Not really going for audiophile here, just want to be able to listen to music loudly while driving with the top down and enjoy it. Looks like that isn't an easy thing to do!
As I understand the BSW speaker system, you are now tied to the factory amplifier. Their system does not have crossovers, it relies on the crossovers in the factory amp. At this point I would recommend installing the Integral Audio subwoofer and amp that you already have and then re-evaluate at that point.
Don't get hung up on the number of speakers; what you're really interested in is the number of channels. The 5.25" speaker in the kick panel, plus the mid-range and the tweeter in the door all combine to make ONE channel. The other side front 3 speakers make up ONE channel.
Each rear speaker is ONE channel. The sub can be ONE or TWO channels, depending on your car's configuration.

I'm quite anxious to learn more on this topic. I just purchased an '01 Z3 2.5. As of the date of this post, I've only had the car for 7 days. 95 degrees in Texas and I have a serious sunburn from 7 days of driving with the top down! But I don't care because I'm having a blast.
I'm far, far from having figured out the audio system. Sub was blown (knew that before I bought). I have a 6 Disc changer in the trunk that works fine. From what I read, I'm guessing I have an Alpine unit (not Blaupunkt) but even there, I'm speculating. Do I have an Alpine 6 disc changer married to a Blaupunkt head unit? No idea. Everything appears to be factory.
At this point I'm trying to evaluate my options before I dive in. Like jalanparker37 I want to keep my head unit and I also don't want to overspend if I don't need too.
My first observation was that more power (amp) might improve things. I'd like to add a sub for more "umph" but don't want to assume I should just throw one in. Which, by the way, I doubt I can just "throw one in". I suspect it's not that simple. Also like jalanparker37, I don't have more than just average knowledge of car audio systems. For grins I took it by CarToys and they wanted me to take out a second mortgage "to get it right". Really didn't seem all that interested in helping me figure out how I might improve what I already have, but I recognize that that's not their focus.
My speaker set up seems to be different from what you all describe. I have a longish grill on each door near the top, but no other speakers in the door that I can see. I have the 2 behind the seat and the now useless sub enclosure (which I disconnected so I didn't have to hear the buzz).
I've been trolling the forums here and trying to research elsewhere to see if I can find a solution that doesn't require me replacing EVERYTHING. Or spending $1000. Since I just bought the car last week, I don't want to push my luck with my better half by going nuts on add ons :-)
So - with all that said - if there are posts, sites, etc that you can recommend, I'd be very grateful.
UPDATE: OK - check that on the speakers. I was looking in the actual door for the 5 1/4" speakers and now realize they are in the floor board area.

I don't comprehend why people are afraid of the amp.
It could not be simpler to change out.
Takes a few hours on a nice afternoon.
We have the wiring diagrams, and its all ready to go.
Just get an amp and isntall it. Its a great first project that doesn't require getting dirty to work on the car.

Replace amp first.
Then speakers.
You can do it for dramatically less than $1000.
The only time that should cost you $1000 is when you hire someone to do it for you and they screw you.

Just for fun, I threw together some stuff on Sonicelectronics.com. They have good deals sometimes. I am sure you can find better ones.
This would be a major upgrade over the factory system, you could always spend more, you can probably spend less. Its not top of the line, but everything is an improvement over stock.
Here is an example of what you need to buy:
5.25 component speakers $149
6.5 inch sub $79
JL 360w 4 channel amplifier. $239
You will also need a trim ring for the sub: $12
Amp installation kit: $18
You will also need some RCA jacks: $3
Spade connectors: $3
You should also go to home depot and pick up some silicone...
GE Silicone 2.8 oz: $3.89
You can freak out and spend alot more, or you can waste a **** ton of money and pay someone to do it, but for around $500 you can replace everything with good quality, BRAND NEW stuff.
Its not hard. Just dive in.

By the way, wasn't fear keeping me from diving in. Just simple common sense. That is, sometimes it's best to do a little research first. That way when. I do dive in I know whether the water is 3' deep or 30' deep.
Regarding the Kicker - it's a 2 ohm right? 10cvt654 is 4 ohm 652 is 2 ohm - so I need the 2 ohm, correct?
Am I driving the factory speakers and the kicker with the JL Amp? i.e. will the 360w support driving the front 5.25's, the door speakers, the 4's behind the seats and the sub?
stereo upgrade
Just wondering if you recommend running new speaker wire or is the stock wire sufficent in your opinion?
I would just use the stock wiring for the door speakers, unless you have the special tools to build the BMW harnesses.
I have done it for the door lock LEDs, its way more effort than its worth.

Thats what I was hoping you would say.

Yes, you can keep the factory head unit.
Its not all that bad to be honest.
Its definitely not the weak link in the system.

Get the 4 ohm sub if you aren't driving it with a custom sub amp.
Its the same sub really, just 4 ohm vs 2 ohm.
This setup basically deletes the rear speakers in the car. You will not miss them.
4 channels on the amp. 2 channels to the front components, 2 channels to the sub.
You can always add a dedicated sub amp later and then add some small rear speakers for fill.
The factory rear speaker are about an inch in diameter. They are truly a joke, and yours are probably dry rotted by now.

Sweet! Thanks.
I'm resisting the temptation to ask you lots of install related questions. Amp will arrive Monday. I'll just have to open up the "patient" first and see if I can figure it all out without being a pest. Haven't done a car audio installation since the late '70's. Seems guaranteed that a few things may have changed since then
I suppose my biggest fear is being sure I'm careful about having to do any cutting of wires. I will use the wiring diagram floating around the forums and be 100% sure what I'm doing before I start doing surgery. I'll prep a little this weekend by digging into the trunk to ensure I know where everything is situated.
"Measure twice, cut once" as they say.
PS. Also ordered a USA Spec iPod Interface. I really wanted the DICE Mediabridge 1500 but with all the problems people seem to be reporting (including DICE themselves telling me not to buy it until they resolve the firmware issues) I decided to just move on. Hopefully I won't regret buying the Spec interface. Worst case scenario I use it for awhile until the DICE issues are solved and switch to that later.
Feel free to ask questions.
The amp is the weak point in the system, for sure.
Replacing the amp is rather straight forward if you use the wiring diagram.
You will need to install some crossovers when you put in the new amp. Its almost easier to replace the amp and speakers together.
You can still do everything in the trunk, so it doesn't turn into a messy install.
You can get various crossovers here and there, however ANY speakers that you find anywhere, even the $20 Walmart specials will be better than the stock speakers.

Can you point me to documentation, how-to's or tips on how to be able to thread a cable from the cabin to the trunk? I've done some searching and dug through BMW TIS. But I'm not finding any visuals specific to my 2001 Z3 2.5i that can help me target my effort.
I received the iPod integration box today and the only thing that seems like it might slow me down is the process of getting the main cable from the front of the cabin (probably in the glovebox) through to the CD changer cable in the trunk. I don't mind doing the surgery, but I want to be sure before I start stripping off plastic bits that I'm focusing in the correct (most direct) area.
Thanks in advance for tips and/or pointers.
(By the way, if there is some obvious set of threads about this stuff that I'm somehow missing, by all means point me there and I'll refrain from posting all of my questions in this one thread.)

I am not offering to be a sherpa, but google "Badens car pages." Super detail about how he installed a stereo upgrade. I had been putting off taking on this project for years until I saw Baden's write up. I have no experience but the write up gave the instructions and confidence to pull it off. Just take your time.
Good luck
Printed Baden's "Journey Map"
Thanks !
I have Baden's pages printed out and had read Stygar's pages as well.
I feel fairly confident about the trip, though the system components I bought
are MUCH larger than I needed - sort of the way I camp I guess...
Going to start on the trip this Saturday morning.
I have both days booked out in the garage.

Does DCIS come back after mastectomy?
A mastectomy will almost certainly cure DCIS, which stands for ductal carcinoma in situ.
DCIS means that there are cells that have started to turn into cancer, but they are completely enclosed within the breast ducts.
Mastectomy means removing the whole breast. When doctors remove the breast, they're very likely to remove all the cancer cells. But in rare cases, DCIS or cancer can come back after mastectomy because it's not possible to remove all of the breast tissue.
If you need a mastectomy, you can have breast reconstruction to create a new breast. You can have this done at the same time as the mastectomy or in another operation later.
Often, though, women don't need a mastectomy for DCIS. For some women, it can work just as well if you have surgery to remove the area of DCIS with a border of healthy tissue around it. After surgery, you may have radiotherapy, hormone therapy or both.
The type of surgery that's best for you will depend on the size of the area of DCIS, and whether there's more than one area. Your surgeon will be able to tell you what your treatment options are.
Researchers are looking into the best treatments for DCIS, taking into account:
- the size of the area of the DCIS
- what the cells look like under a microscope (the grade of the DCIS cells)

Coorg inspires debut novel from Indian financier
By Tony Tharakan
NEW DELHI (Reuters Life!) - When private equity professional Sarita Mandanna set out to write a novel, it seemed natural to set it in the forests of Coorg, a region in southern India the British colonialists called the "Scotland of India." It was where she spent her childhood, surrounded by coffee plantations and the dense jungles that come vividly to life in her saga of star-crossed lovers in the early 20th century.
"Tiger Hills," just launched in India, was five years in the making for Mandanna and involved hours of research at the New York Public Library.
Mandanna, a vice president of New York-based Equifin Capital, also caused a buzz after reportedly bagging the highest advance ever paid by Penguin India for a debut novel.
Mandanna, who worked in Hong Kong after leaving India and before moving to the United States, spoke to Reuters by telephone about the novel and why she meant it as a tribute to Coorg:
Q: Coorg is almost like a character in the novel. Was it this setting that inspired you?
A: "I do belong to Coorg. The family is from there and we trace our roots back there for generations. I love Coorg with a passion. It's home, a place that I feel absolutely rooted to. A number of debut novelists end up writing what they know and love best and that definitely was the case for me. When I began to write, I knew the setting was going to be Coorg and that would form the backdrop as well. It's also a part of the country that you don't see very often talked about or read about -- that was kind of my ode in a sense to a place that I deeply cherish."
Q: How autobiographical is "Tiger Hills"?
A: "Being from Coorg and belonging to Coorg and having a lot of family and friends there, I was acutely conscious of not mirroring reality in any shape or form at all and kind of inadvertently ending up ruffling feathers or offending someone. It's a purely fictional story, the characters are all fictional as well. Having said that, whenever you create something you always do draw in some form or measure on personal experience or memory or observation. Some of the characters are probably a composite of people I have seen or met or heard of but in aggregate "Tiger Hills" is absolutely imaginary." Continued...

text: Governor LePage issued his second State of the State address to legislators in Augusta on Tuesday night.The speech was longer than expected, as the Governor sounded off on a number of issues."Tonight I am here to update you, the people of Maine, about the condition of our great state. Everything is fine, thank you for coming, goodnight."But of course that was not all and according to LePage, the state's bottom ranking business friendly environment, according to Forbes Magazine, needs to change. "Job creators don't look at all 50 states. They look at the top 10, and we're not there."He also urged legislators to act on his proposal, to pay the state's hospitals the $186 million in unpaid Medicare debt through a bond secured by future liquor sales."My proposal ensures that Maine hospitals get paid. It will improve Maine's fiscal health."He also spoke about education, throwing his support behind charter schools, also saying that public schools should be held financially accountable for graduates forced to take remedial classes at the college level. "No matter what we say, we are not getting the job done. Not only do we need to give our children more options, we need to improve the outcomes in our schools."The Governor closed the night by asking legislators to not raise taxes and to pay the bills that the state already owes.

On Wednesday, February 6, during National Signing Day, student athletes from across the nation signed National Letters of Intent to play sports at their respective Colleges & Universities. The Rockford Soccer Program was well represented as players from both the Boy's and Girls Soccer Teams signed Letters of Intent to play collegiately.
On the boy's side, Senior Dewey Lewis made his commitment to play at NCAA Division 1 Michigan State University. Lewis had an outstanding fall campaign, leading the Rams to a school record 17 wins. Dewey scored 18 goals and recorded 13 assists. He was also named First Team All State and Dream Team. Dewey capped off his four-year varsity career being named 2012 Michigan's Mr. Soccer, the award annually given to the states top player.
The girls program had four senior players sign Letters of Intent. Erika Bradfield has signed with NCAA Division II Grand Valley State University. The Lakers have won 2 National Championships since 2009. Erika is a four-year varsity player and scored 12 goals and 13 assists from Central Midfield as a junior. In 2012, she was named 3rd Team All State, All Region, All District and All Conference.
Katie Hartnett has signed a Letter of Intent with NCAA Division I Indiana-Purdue Fort Wayne (IPFW). Katie is a four-year varsity player and had an outstanding junior campaign. She scored 16 goals and passed out a school record 19 assists last spring. She was named Honorable Mention All State, All Region, All District and All Conference.

Marissa Platz signed her Letter of Intent with Alma College (MI). Marissa is a third year varsity player at the Goalkeeper position for Rockford. Marissa's athleticism and shot blocking ability led the Rams to a school record 11 shutouts and goals against (12) last spring. Marissa was selected to the All District and All Conference Teams in 2012.
Coach Thomas states, "Signing Day is always special for the players, families and soccer program. I want to congratulate Dewey on signing with the Spartans and for setting the bar extremely high for our current players with his leadership and work ethic. Obviously, the girls program is well represented and I'm happy for each of them to reach their dream of playing at the next level. It's going to be an exciting spring to watch these ladies lead our team in the always competitive OK Red and district tournament."

O'Neill Reinstated
March 13, 2011
"Effective immediately, I am reinstating Kevin O'Neill as our men's basketball head coach.
"Coach O'Neill and I have talked numerous times these past few days. He has continued to express his regret and embarrassment over the incident that led to his suspension from any remaining games of the Pac-10 Conference Tournament. He understands that his inappropriate actions and resulting suspension from the tournament's semifinal game and potential championship game put his team in an extremely difficult position. Further, he understands that he let them down as their role model and leader. He has apologized to his team, as well as to me, our administration, our fans and the Pac-10.
"It was a difficult lesson for Coach O'Neill. I believe the suspension served its purpose and will eliminate any such inappropriate behavior by Coach O'Neill in the future. Although he has been reinstated, Coach O'Neill knows that he still faces additional institutional discipline and a fine.
"Our players were the innocent victims in all this. I was proud of how well they and our assistant coaches responded in our Pac-10 semifinal game. We now need to provide our players with the best chance of moving forward through post-season play. Having their head coach back gives them that opportunity.
"I said this before: Kevin O'Neill is a good person and a very good basketball coach. He made a mistake and paid the price. I look forward to working past this issue with him. I am confident in his ability to produce winning basketball teams at USC. He has my support."
Kevin O'Neill QUOTE:
"I'm excited to be back coaching the Trojans and I am looking forward to the post-season. This is a special team and we have shown that we can compete with anyone in the country.
"But I temper my excitement of being reinstated with the realization that I made a serious error in judgment the other night. The disciplinary measures that Pat Haden took, including the suspension, were absolutely the right call. My wife, Roberta, and I are both very apologetic for the embarrassment we caused the Trojan Family. We vow to move forward in a positive manner.
"I appreciate the support I received from our administration, the Pac-10, my coaches and players and our fans. I cannot apologize enough to them.
"I was really proud of the effort our team put forth in Friday's game against Arizona. I know I let them down and put them in a very challenging situation. But because our players are high-character young men, they were able to put that aside and compete extremely well."

text: Bud WHite....I sold my Colt SAA but still have my Colt Frontier Scout and plink it occasionally, but for both of them I used Hoppes solvent for general cleaning with a toothbrush for the cylinder and opposing faces on the frame. Followed up with a lightly oiled cotton rag to wipe over the entire blued areas. I bought my Frontier Scout in 1964, still has original blueing, and with minor rubbed areas from holstering. Never had any rust or corrosion problems, the Hoppes and oil do just fine. As far as autos go, I use the #9 for all areas, and, as recommeded by Kimber, use Shooter's Choice FP-10 to lubricate with. I used to use the "slide grease" stuff on the Beretta but have since quit using it. Seems too thick to me. Hope this helps.

Just want to stop in and say "HI!" from southern AZ . HI!
I normally carry when I can (carrying into work is a no-no). Just waiting for my CCW in the mail so that I can carry into more places. My edc is a Ruger SR9C in an IWB Foxxholster.
I also shoot rifles for target practice. Mostly .22 due to costs (Savage Mark II Heavy barrel bolt-action, and a Remington 597 semiauto). I also shoot a pre-64 Winchester 70 in 270. It was my grandfather's rifle that has passed onto me now. Great rifle. Fun to shoot.
Looking to get a shotgun for HD. That'll be my next purchase.
Anyway, nice to see a site dedicated to defensive carry.

Welcome from South Carolina...
