Took NBC29 till 3:30 PM the day before a major winter storm to post something on their website. Journalism at its best. You are a joke and a sad excuse for a news station.
#2 Mar 5, 2013
Call up there and ask for your money back . Thats what I would do .
if I was a damn grouchy hateful person like you .
Whats wrong with you people .
Eat some fiber , go get some bread and milk and come back and tell us how the shelves were empty .
or , you could make some chil, start a fire in your BOX you BUM .
Gripe over something free
#3 Mar 5, 2013
Why do you continue to read NBC29 if you aren't happy with their reporting?
#4 Mar 5, 2013
You need to catch up on reading, ot somethin, this so called storm is 3 day old news.
#5 Mar 5, 2013
I have come to expect more from NBC stations. I guess you just want your local news from 9-5.
#6 Mar 5, 2013
It has to be a major storm. This makes your 2'nd post this week i have agreed with lol
#8 Mar 6, 2013
340 Crimora to Waynesboro is being well maintained, snowfall is heavy , roads ice and snow covered . Waynesboro is fine is you go slow.
Through Waynesboro to AMC carefull drivers will do fine.
The ,I have an SUV , I can do anything types.
I have seen two of you folk in the ditch already this am.
Power , off momentarily twice since 1:20 Am crimora to dooms.
If I can't have spring.. I always did love a good snow day ...
Just a hair maybe 1/8" over 8 inches of snow mixed with ice.
Beautiful !

While I am Ramling.
I would like to thank all my local Tires buisness from Elkton to Fishersville at least the 8-10 we called.
You lost OVER 1200 in Retail sales yesterday .
Needed NEW tires on three POSTAL jeeps for GOOD POSTAL workers that where worried about getting the mail around , I say good because they always HAMMER DOWN they have a thing about not missing your mail .
BUT they are ALL bonesheads... always wait till the day of the storm .. you know the deal .
THANK you Wall-Mart of Waynesboro and your TIRE CENTER
3:36 pm after exausting ever local buisness who had tires but couldnt find time to get them on .
WALMART HAD NO PROBLEM = We spent less time getting 3 different vehichles to Waynesboro and NEW SHOES oh ALL than I did on the phone trying to get somebody to understand how this HAD to HAPPEN .. BIG STORM .
I also spent my LAST DIME in one place I have dealt with for 25 years in Waynesboro .
7 people ( one being the size of a PINTO, cant find time to put tires on but holding all the chairs in the office down .
GARAGE EMPTY Closing time an hour away .
Again THANK YOU WALL-MART of Waynesboro .
Goodbye local tire buisness ( except Sammys Exxon , they would have walked through snow to get it done.... I knew that , so I didn't act like I really needed em ... My friends should have thought ahead... I wont put pressure on the ones I know would come through..
Sammys would have would have went to the Jeeps ....
ANd I send them every good person I know, they don't need the money .
STEP ITUP local SMALL BUISNESS or get out of the WAY for a NEW WAL-MART
#10 Mar 6, 2013
I would also like to thank WHSV for blocking half the Valley from Commenting .
I had promised a struggling small buisness owner if I needed tires I would remember him ... a month or so ago on the WHSV blogs...
THEY BLOCKED HIM.... and we could not even find his tire store.
I was gonna give him 4 tires.... NEEDED 12 that I wasn't aware I was going to need... could have helped him out .... WHSV can kiss my white *** too
They blocked me for asking if they could put a picture of a missing Latino girl up
BOYCOTT WHSV all three commenters.
THANKS WHSV = Beat the local buisness down .
#11 Mar 6, 2013
Have you ever noticed people seem happier on a snow days ?
Everybody I have ran into through the night , love to talk about the snow and just seem happier. Even the ones grumbling about driving in it and talking to a guy in Waynesboro this morning...pushing snow .. He was working , having a ball , never seen him in my life . I had pulled over to TEXT :)... he pulled up just started talking ..... about the Weather offered to buy me a cup of coffee.... if I didn't have anything to do .
Good people everywhere .
#12 Mar 6, 2013
Quit being positive about people, gives me a complex.
#13 Mar 6, 2013
Lol, sez would it make you feel better if i came by and threw snowballs at your house. Hope you have a day filled with positive experiences :)
#14 Mar 7, 2013
IF I AM LYING I hope it snows another 2 foot in Crimora .
Thats the funniest thing I seen all day :)
Come Join us , it Mr. Rodgers neigborhood.
ok sorry gotta go girl .

From OpenWetWare
This page will soon host the website of the MIT team for iGEM 2008
For now it is being used for planning the following (please edit!):
- Scheduling interviews and finalizing the undergrad team
- Brainstorming initial project ideas
- Creating a website for the 2008 team (probably based on 2007 page IGEM:MIT/2007)
- For help setting up a team lab notebook, please contact User: Ricardo Vidal. He's working with OpenWetWare at MIT this year, and could help you all get familiar with some new tools that update the notebook since last year's iGEM notebooks. - Jason R. Kelly
- Should we schedule a regular meeting? Chia: Feedback from last year's advisers: regular meetings among grads are recommended. During summer, weekly lab meetings with the undergrads would be important. Perhaps let them rotate to be the team leader and lab meeting presenter so everyone gets a chance to practice their leadership skills.
- iGEM requirements and relevant dates:
- Team registration deadline is May 9; need to specify instructors, students, lab space, and funding. Registration fee $1000/team.
- Jamboree: November 8-9, 2008 at MIT; $100 per undergrad and $250 for others.
Brainstorming Project Ideas
iGEM research project tracks:
- Foundational Research - basic science and engineering research
- Information Processing - genetically encoded control, logic, and memory
- Energy - biological fuels, feedstocks, and other energy projects
- Environment - sensing or remediation of environmental state
- Health & Medicine - applied projects with the goal of directly improving the human condition
- (new track this year) - software tools to facilitate use of standard biological parts
Information Storage Device
I was thinking a bit about information storage. There have been a whole slew of papers that suggest storing artificial messages in DNA. A few representative examples are
- C. Bancroft, T. Bowler, B. Bloom, and C. T. Clelland, "Long-Term Storage of Information in DNA," Science, vol. 293, no. 5536, pp. 1763-1765, Sept. 2001.
- P. C. Wong, K.-K. Wong, and H. Foote, "Organic data memory using the DNA approach," Commun. ACM, vol. 46, no. 1, pp. 95–98, Jan. 2003.
- J. P. L. Cox, "Long-term data storage in DNA," Trends in Biotechnology, vol. 19, no. 7, pp. 247-250, July 2001.
All of these works envision long-term storage where complicated cloning techniques with restriction enzymes, oligonucleotide synthesis or PCR, and ligation would be used for storage. I don't know much at all about this, but are there ways of making a storage device where it is moderately easy to change what is written in the memory? Basically designing some kind of encoder and decoder that makes DNA more of a rewritable medium rather than just a long-term storage medium. A related question is whether there might be a way to introduce an error-correcting circuit along the lines of
- M. G. Taylor, "Reliable information storage in memories designed from unreliable components," Bell Syst. Tech. J., vol. 47, no. 10, pp. 2299–2337, Dec. 1968.
There are probably more easily editable means of biological information storage that are more worthy of exploration.
- cookb: Hmm, that's an interesting idea and quite original for iGEM! I'm getting an image of some sort of simple physical signal (e.g., exposure to light) being converted into DNA information, sort of like a Morse code encoding words into DNA. I wonder what possible mechanisms one could use to facilitate that... But even encoding something simple like "Hello world" would be a huge deal, and have big ramifications on areas such as commercial gene synthesis.
Recombination-based tools to alter DNA sequences
- High frequency deletion of a DNA region: Flank the region with two identical target sequences recognized by a DNA recominase (Cre or Flp) diagram
- Inversion of a DNA region (low reversion rate): Flank the region with two mutant loxP sequences, lox66 and lox71. (both are in the registry)Reference
- Reversible inversion of a DNA region: Flank with target sequences of the Hin recombinase. See 2006 Davidson team page
- Transposons:
- Sleeping Beauty (transposon from fish) Molecular Reconstruction of Sleeping Beauty
Write-Once Memory Information Theory
- Lav R. Varshney 23:55, 17 April 2008 (EDT): A couple of basic papers on write-once memories are:
- Ronald L. Rivest and Adi Shamir, "How to Reuse a 'Write-Once' Memory," Inf. Control, vol. 55, no. 1-3, pp. 1-19, Oct.-Dec. 1982.
- Gilles Zemor and Gerard D. Cohen, "Error-correcting WOM-codes," IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory, vol. 37, no. 3, pp. 730-734, May 1991.
- Amos Fiat and Adi Shamir, "Generalized 'write-once' memories," IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory, vol. IT-30, no. 3, pp. 470-480, May 1984.
The following paper that I am working on is also rather related, so if anyone wants to take a look at the unsubmitted draft, let me know:
- Lav R. Varshney and Julius Kusuma, "Malleable Compression," in preparation.
Synthetic Taxis
Develop some sort of Kalman filter-like circuit or some other signal processing circuit to detect or track pathogens. The UCSF/UCB Center for Engineering Cellular Control Systems has started to look at some similar problems.
Bacterial lava lamp
- Reshma 10:16, 19 March 2008 (CDT): I've been wanting to make a bacterial lava lamp for a long time. The U. of Melbourne 2007 team engineered this super cool part that enables bacteria to float (used in natural systems to maintain marine bacteria at a particular depth). By combining this floatation part with a luciferase, I think you could make some nice lighting for the home! :)
(from Melbourne 07 team) - they just sink more slowly atm ;)
If we did this, we would want the cells to clump together so that it looks lava lamp like.
How is this combo: Flocculating E. coli + increased buoyancy + GFP or luciferase on cell surface + self-made tube-flipping device (mechanical or manual) + blue excitation light or luciferin? A name for this GEM suggested by Brian: E.GloLite
- Display of green fluorescent protein on Escherichia coli cell surface.
- Jason R. Kelly 16:46, 4 April 2008 (EDT):You probably don't need to get it on the surface, they glow pretty well if you just make a bunch of GFP inside the cell (also easier to do).
- Chia: A microbe-based lava lamp - cute! We can make budding yeast cells clump as well. There is a family of cell surface glyco-proteins that confer cell-cell adhesion (flocculation) and/or adhesion to hydrophobic substratum [1]. Flocculation mediated by the protein Flo1p can be altered by adding certain sugar or EDTA. Yeast cell density can be altered by mutations in secretory pathways such as sec1.
Two scientists made a microbial lava lamp. Not as fancy as what we want here but we might find their design useful. Basically, brewer's yeast cells are immobilized in a mixture of glass beads, a carbohydrate polymer from seaweed and some dye to make colored "beads". Then the beads are placed in a sucrose solution allowing yeast cells to produce CO2, which is trapped in the beads and giving them buoyancy. As the beads slowly rise to the surface, CO2 escapes and the beads drop. PDF describing details
Multi-colored moss
- Jason R. Kelly 12:23, 19 March 2008 (CDT): Austin and I went out and visited Magdalena Bezanilla's lab at Umass-Amhearst that studies this moss and found out that it's not too hard to grow and genetically manipulate it. One idea was to express pigments from other plans (flowers) in the moss to make it in different colors. Magdalena thought this might be possible, could follow up with her if it was an idea that folks thought was cool. Even if it didn't work, you could make the first BioBrick parts and vectors for engineering plants!
Turing machine
A counting device for plasmid copy number
Bacteria with limited # of cell divisions, after flipping a switch
A neat idea initiated by Vikram. Such a GEM would have much less potential to contaminate the environment if accidentally released from the laboratory.
This might be possible if the bacterial genome shortens gradually like linear eukaryotic chromosomes. A method to linearize the E. coli genome without affecting its stability has been reported [2].
If the chromosome ends were generated differently, one might be able to implement a replication dependent shortening mechanism. (Brain power needed!)
One way to visualize chromosome shortening (besides PCR or Southern blotting) could be insertion of a reporter at various locations of the linearized chromosome. Ideally the presence/absence of the reporter would make E. coli colonies look different on a agar plate. (Say lacZ + X-gal as in blue/white screen?) If the reporter is lost right after the first division (since it's inserted very close to the initial chromosome end), the colony would be one color. If the reporter is inserted far away from chromosome ends and thus retained for many generations, the colony would be another color. - Chia
Other ideas from dinner meeting on 3/31
(feel free to edit!)
- modulation of heterocyst differentiation. See Heterocyst Differentiation and H2 Production in N2-Fixing Cyanobacteria
- creative use of FLP recombinase for storing/removing DNA based information
- modulation of com sensing in B. subtilis (model system in Alan Grossman's lab in the Bio Dept)
- a bacterial diagnostic device for diabetes?
Suggestions from the meeting on 4/4
- Various people are going to do background research on technical aspects of ideas listed above. They plan to report back on 4/11.
- Additional idea of making bacteria responsive to electrical stimuli.
Suggestions from the meeting on 4/17
- cookb: Use of inteins (protein introns) as switches / biosensors
- Big advantage is their modular design which allows easy creation of new functional systems
- Could use to switch on reporter/effector using temperature change or addition of ligand
- Huge possibilities as a biosensor (pop in ligand binding domain of choice)
- Some ideas: glucose sensor (diabetes), pollutant detector (metal binding domains), cancer test (VEGF, other GFs), in vivo phosphotyrosine assay (SH2 domain), detection of biohazards/pesticides/organophosphate, drug testing (steroids)...

The available evidence for long-term, low-dose treatment with 14- and 15-membered ring macrolides in non-cystic fibrosis (CF) bronchiectasis, COPD, chronic sinusitis, and asthma is reviewed with special attention to possible adverse effects and the emergence of resistance during long-term macrolide treatment. Macrolide maintenance therapy has been proven to be of benefit in diffuse panbronchiolitis and CF, presumably due to an anti-inflammatory mechanism of action in addition to its direct antimicrobial effect. Solid evidence to justify this treatment regimen for non-CF bronchiectasis, asthma, or sinusitis is still lacking, although a beneficial effect of long-term macrolide therapy has been found in small clinical trials on these subjects. Data from randomized trials of long-term macrolide treatment in COPD are conflicting. A sufficiently long duration of treatment and the careful selection of patients appears to be crucial. Aside from its beneficial effects, possible side effects of macrolide treatment should be taken into account, the most important of these being gastrointestinal upset and cardiac arrhythmias. Development of macrolide resistance among respiratory pathogens is very common during long-term macrolide treatment. Whether this finding is clinically significant is a matter of debate.

Anesthetics, Inhalation
Gases or volatile liquids that vary in the rate at which they induce anesthesia; potency; the degree of circulation, respiratory, or neuromuscular depression they produce; and analgesic effects. Inhalation anesthetics have advantages over intravenous agents in that the depth of anesthesia can be changed rapidly by altering the inhaled concentration.

Edit: YES, I know the passenger side badging is wrong, the new badges are already on order and on the way
Re: Back in a SRT...again!
Welcome to the fold. I'll be curious to see how you compare the SRT to the Cayenne. I had an '04 CTT and find the SRT to be 95% of the CTT at half the price.

beautiful car and honestly ten times better the the cayenne.

I do like the variable steering on the Cayennes however the WK2 SRT8 drives completely differently than both the CTTS and the WK2 Limited. Feels almost like my Vette, every little input translates to steering on the SRT8. I do love the alcantera headliner, adjustable air suspension, and 4LO with diff lock on the CTTS.
I have yet to get on the skinny pedal so can't comment on the power between the Turbo S and the WK2 SRT8 but know the turbos made the CTTS scary fast 520hp, 500+ftlbs, so will be interested in adding a supercharger/turbo to the SRT8 at some point. Also, might look into doing an alcantera headliner at some point but other wise loving my Vapor!
Re: Back in a SRT...again!
congrats bro! Great to have you back in the SRT darkside!
Re: Back in a SRT...again!
That is a really nice ride you got. Really nice!
Re: Back in a SRT...again!
Thank you guys, glad to be back!!
Re: Back in a SRT...again!
Very nice love the look of the vapor.

Adobe recently released the latest versions of Acrobat, as well as the new Acrobat Reader and two brand new mobile apps—all of which aim to make it easier to complete, sign, save, and send forms.
Find out what else is new (revised interface!) and other important tips (download trial first!) about the new versions of this popular PDF-authoring and -management tool.

When you put pen to paper to sign your name to a contract, personal check, or credit card receipt, it's the equivalent of saying "I consent to this." Your unique handwriting (or, in my case, unique scrawl) serves as the confirmation that you—not someone else—have signed the document.
When you enter the realm of digital documents, the options for signing become a bit more complex. Some companies accept Acrobat's digital signatures, but some are uncomfortable with anything that doesn't look like tasteful blue-black ink. I'll show you how to sign a digital document to appease both camps.

It's Small Business Week, and we have a handy tip for small business owners—who have to approve and sign a multitude of forms, invoices, and documents throughout any week. More often than not these days, forms are transmitted electronically; lots of people still sign these forms by printing out a copy, signing it with a pen, scanning it, and then emailing the scan back to the sender.
But there are easier ways.

Cairn Falls After Buyback Halted on Indian Tax Dispute
(Corrects extent of share decline in first two paragraphs of story originally published March 18.)
Cairn Energy Plc (CNE), a Scottish oil explorer, slumped in London trading after saying it was suspending a share buyback program pending the resolution of a tax dispute in India.
The shares sank 14 percent to 168.2 pence, valuing the company at 973 million pounds ($1.6 billion). Volumes were four times the three-month average for a full day's trading.
To date, 25,180,201 shares have been repurchased for $94.7 million as part of the buyback program, the Edinburgh-based company said today in a statement. That's less than a third of the $300 million it had earmarked.
The Indian Income Tax Department, which will examine company finances for the year ended March 2007, ordered it not to sell its stake in Cairn India Ltd., the company said in January.
Cairn "was compliant with tax legislation in place at the time in each relevant jurisdiction, including India," it said today. Cairn will be unable to sell its 10 percent holding in the Indian company, valued at about $1 billion, during the inquiry, it said.

With the increasing trend of designer cheap christmas gifts, markets are hoarded with a huge variety of women rolex watches. No matter what kind of handbag you are looking for, you will get it in market. However the only problem in shopping for designer replica catier jewellery online from market is that you need to roam from one store to other to get the designer and stylish one. Therefore it is advisable to shop for designer mens jackets online. There are plenty of online stores that offer designer cheap gucci handbags.ReplyDelete

Also, Suzanne Somers' book, Ageless saved my life. Breakthrough is her latest. I'm 50 and I've been on Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy for 2 years.
I lost the weight, sleep 8 hours a night and no more night sweats. I won't even go into the moods things I was going through before. I thought I was losing my mind. Ladies, perimenopause can start in our early to mid-30s. I don't take any pharmaceuticals or OTCs either so what I put into my body is very important to me.
There are doctors out there who will help. You just have to find them. A good website to search for one is www.acam.org.
You don't have to suffer through perimenopause and be sick. The Ann Louise Gittleman books are excellent as well. Her Detox books helped me get started by giving me a great (and reasonable) way to detox my body before starting on this whole journey.
Sorry this was so long. This topic has become my passion...Good luck to you.

Veteran City fund manager Jeremy Tigue is to step down from running the £2 billion Foreign & Colonial Investment Trust after almost 17 years and to retire after 33 years in the business.
Founded in 1868, F&C is probably the best known such collective investment vehicle in the country. Thousands of shareholders received Tigue's regular updates on his investment policy each year. In the time he has managed the trust, an investment of £1000 would have grown to £3215, compared with £2697 if it had merely tracked the FTSE All-World index.
Tigue also advised the BP and British Steel pension funds.Reuse content

Thank you very much! That led me in the right direction and helped me fix it!
I am having issues with a menu in IE6 that I can't seem to fix.
It looks great in Chrome and Firefox. But in IE6 in particular, the dark blue doesn't stretch the entire width when you hover over a submenu item.
I added to the the IE6 styles:
#nav li ul {
width: 0;
so that IE6 would not let the li ul stretch all the way to the right side of the page. When it did stretch all the way to the right side of the page though, the dark blue when you hovered over a submenu item would stretch all the way across.
I took it out separate like this to see if maybe it was a parent element that was interfering, but it doesn't look like anything other than the css you see is causing it.
I know the padding-right: 21px is causing it, but I don't understand why in Chrome and Firefox it look good, but in IE6 it isn't.
Can someone help me figure out why this is so?
So its been a minute since I have developed a Wordpress theme, so I downloaded Starkers to get working on a new site, and I go to start working in the header.php file to find this:
<?php /**
* @package WordPress
* @subpackage Starkers
Does anyone have any idea what this is? Is it vital to Wordpress? Is there something I am missing?
Any help would be appreciated!
Yes I plan quite a bit before I start a design. Mainly I sketch it out on paper then break that down into HTML once I design it. So then when I go into actual design on the computer, I will have a really good idea of how the HTML will break down and that helps tremendously.
But sketching things out on paper has always been a key point for me, and brings out the artist in me..
Hey guys and gals,
I just wanted to quickly post the launch of a new project: Students That Freelance!
Remember me posting this: http://themeforest.net/forums/thread/calling-student-freelancers/20946 ?
The site will mainly feature a blog and forum setup to help students with the unique situations that they deal with as being freelancers, that other blogs don't really touch on. Right now it is just a coming soon page, but I hope to launch it Mid March!
I am super excited! I would love to hear any critiques that this wonderful community has!
(ps—moderators, if this is inappropriate for the forums, please feel free to remove)
Hey guys!
I plan to launch the site in a month and I am still looking to fill some student interview spots. Anyone interested?
If you haven't solved the issue, the problem may be the @import reset on your style sheet. I was having issues on one site in select IE8 browsers and changed this part and it seemed to have solved it for all.
I don't think Apple is going to come out with a "tablet," I think they are going to surprise us all with something more than we ever thought. I am more interested iPhone 4G & 4.0 OS announcements.
And the hope that they are also allowing Verizon to get the iPhone…..
are you sayiing that under one nickname you are an exclusive author and under another one you are not? I thought that bein an exclusive author would depend on your real name and not some alias, kinda defeats the exclusivity doesn't it? haw can one be partially exclusive?Al
It is possible for someone to have two accounts, one being exclusive and one not. Maybe for instance Joe Blow wants only some of his items to be sold exclusively through the marketplaces, like business cards for example, however he may want his website designs be non-exclusive. He could set up JoeBlow1 and JowBlow2 to handle that.
I haven't seen anywhere in the agreements or remember when I read them when I signed up, that one person could not hold two different accounts, however I could be wrong, and please correct me if I am.
Heck yes I am excited! Although I wanted the Vikings to make it instead of the Saints so that the Colts would have a better chance at winning, but hopefully the Colts can pull it out in the end.

Excellent choice
373/10 Pham Ngu Lao, District 1 T: (08) 3836 0184
Formerly known as the Long Guesthouse,Long Hostel has moved into a new, larger building in Saigon's Pham Ngu Lao backpacker area. While the location has changed, walking into the Long Hostel is still like walking into someone's house.
Check rates at Long Hostel on Agoda.com
Long Hostel doesn't actually look much like a hostel and in fact there is only a single, five-person dorm room at the building's top floor. It's a big and mostly empty room with five single beds and plenty of space for five people; it's quite the walk to get up to the room as, like many (tall) hotels in Saigon, it lacks an elevator.
But aside from the dorm, the hostel offers two types of rooms: 350,000 VND gets you a double with one bed, while 500,000 VND buys the three-person standard, which has a double and single bed. Either choice results in a very clean room complete with a private bath, television and air-con. The three-person standards each have large windows, filling the room with light, and a long but thin private balcony. On the other hand, the double rooms don't have any windows.
While the rooms are nice for their price, the best reason to stay at Long is the service. The Long family goes out of their way to make you feel like you're staying with family. When you first arrive you'll be given a 30-minute crash course on what to do in Saigon and how to stay safe. The breakfast they serve each morning, included with the price of your room, is made with care.
While the family is great and the rooms are serviceable, there are a couple of drawbacks to staying here. Firstly, the location isn't ideal. Down an alley off the road behind the Thai Binh market, the hostel is a little hard to find and the alley gets dark at night. While the area isn't particularly notorious it would be best to use caution if you're returning home late. Secondly, the hostel lacks a common area so if you're a lone traveller looking to meet new people, the hostel probably isn't the best place to socialise.
All up, Long Hostel might not be the best place to meet people but it is one of the nicer, more affordable guesthouses in the city. Even with its change in location and a doubling of the number of beds it offers, Long Hostel's reputation keeps it consistently full; it's almost impossible to walk in off the street and get a room so your best bet is to book in advance online.
If you can't get a room here, plenty of places around have beds, though few live up to the Long Hostel's standards. Ly Loan, a nearby guesthouse, has fewer rooms but (almost) similar service, and the California Guesthouse is also a good choice though it is slightly outside the backpacker area on Co Bac. Those who are looking for the real hostel experience should head next door to the Saigon Backpackers Hostel, where you will find clean, gender-assigned dorms. If you want something a step up in scale the An An Hotel on Bui Vien is worth a try, as is the Elios Hotel on Pham Ngu Lao.

Well, it's happening. Again. Comedy Central has announced that 'Futurama' is being cancelled. The network opted out of renewing the show for another season, meaning that the 13 episodes airing this summer will be the show's last. In theory. Unless it gets another revival, pops up on Netflix or maybe they just make some more movies.
Time travel hasn't been invented yet (or if it has, those jerks aren't telling us), so this is probably the next best thing.
French Tumblr Des Hommes et des Chatons (Men and Kittens) makes us wonder -- do we like kittens because they remind us of hunky dudes, or do we like hunky dudes because they remind us of kittens? Or, are they both great and this is the best Tumblr evvvaaar?! Probably that last one.
If we're going to wax all nostalgic about things, let's not even compare the way things used to be to the way things are now. Let's instead lament how HORRIBLE it would be if things from the past were invented today.
Are you ever sitting around by yourself thinking, "Hey, I wonder what Amanda Bynes is up to?" You need to stop. Nothing good comes from wondering that, because this video she recently posted to Telly (whatever that is) is the answer.
When we saw the way the camera was oriented in this video we got a bad feeling. When the first words we heard were a man screaming "YIPSKIDDLY DOO," it got worse.
Having once worked in a theater, we can honestly say that this video is not the least bit surprising. An employee was instructed by his boss to throw away an old box of Milk Duds...
The Bjork video above is how it all began. We see a cat dressed in a suit at a table, reading a paper. Eventually somebody had the brilliant idea to provide it with a caption, and a meme was born.
This Tumblr may inadvertently function as birth control. Reasons My Sons Is Crying shows pictures of a little boy crying, and then provides the "reason." It might make you rethink wanting to have kids. It is terrifying. It is hilarious. You should look at these pics and then head over to Reasons My Son Is Crying to see the rest.
Our childhood pet was a cat named Snowball whose two special tricks were hiding behind the refrigerator and disappearing for weeks on end...
Sometimes somebody has one job to do...JUST ONE...and they can't even get it right. These are those times. Here are our favorite examples of the latest internet meme that involves somebody screwing up one simple task. ONE.
Yesterday Jane Henson passed away. She was 78 years old. During her life, she was married to Jim Henson, and she worked with him until she took a break from puppetry to raise their children. Together they started 'The Muppet Show,' and Jane's work with the Jim Henson Legacy ensured that future generations would fall in love with the characters she and her husband dreamed up.

By Chris Nix, Wildlife Biologist, Division of Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries
Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) is a contagious neurological disease affecting the central nervous system of captive and free-ranging mule deer, white-tailed deer, moose, and Rocky Mountain elk throughout various locations in North America. This is a fatal and untreatable disease belonging to a group of diseases known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies and is similar to mad cow disease in cattle and scrapie in sheep.
CWD can reduce the growth and size of wild deer and elk in areas where populations are high, and is of increasing concern for wildlife managers across North America. The disease had been long thought to be limited in the wild to a relatively small area in northeastern Colorado, southeastern Wyoming and southwestern Nebraska, but has recently been found in several new areas across the North American continent.
To date there has been no case of CWD detected in Alabama or any other southeastern state. Although that is good news, it is still of upmost importance to prohibit the spread of CWD.
It is thought that a major method by which CWD is spread is through the movement of live animals, most often for game farming or breeding operations. Fortunately, the importation of any deer into Alabama has been prohibited since 1973. It is critical that this importation ban is strictly followed. Any suspected violations should be reported to the nearest Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries office immediately.
In Alabama, annual samples from deer harvested throughout the state are tested for CWD. This survey began during the 2001-2002 hunting season and continues today. Collectively, throughout this study approximately 4,100 deer have been tested for CWD. All tests were negative.
CWD is indicated by a variety of physical signs. Because the brain is the primary organ affected by the disease, infected animals begin to lose bodily functions and display abnormal behavior. In early stages of infection, animals do not show any symptoms. The incubation period can range from about 12-18 months up to 3-5 years. In later stages, infected animals begin to display abnormal behavior such as staggering or standing with very poor posture. Animals may have an exaggerated wide posture or carry the head and ears lowered, and may drool. Infected animals become emaciated (thus the name "wasting disease") and appear in very poor body condition. Clinical symptoms are typically not seen in deer younger than 18 months of age. CWD symptoms may also be characteristic of diseases other than CWD (e.g. deer with bacterial brain abscesses or chronic hemorrhagic disease).
If a suspicious animal is encountered, document the location of the animal and immediately contact the Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries office nearest you. For more information on CWD, contact Chris Nix, Wildlife Biologist, Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Division of Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries, 30571 Five Rivers Blvd., Spanish Fort, AL 36527; 251-626-5474.

Upgrade - VPI's New Super Platter for the Scout Turntable
First, this is from VPI's website:
With my Scout already supported on a Townshend Seismic Sink, regulated by an SDS controller, and lavishly outfitted with Kubala-Sosna interconnects and the fabulous E.A.R. 324 phono section running balanced, the new platter was the obvious next step.
The new platter is a classy looking 25 pound beauty. The acrylic original looks junky by comparison. At $1200, it costs over half as much as the turntable originally did, so it should look top notch. I've installed many mods over the years [2 with VPI] and this is the most successful yet.
I'll cut to the chase. This is a wondrous upgrade! It yields an improvement in everything, especially with my ZYX Airy 3 singing away. I hear cleaner, faster, tighter, deeper bass, airier mids, and smoother [much smoother] highs. Overall definition is enhanced by about 25% while the realism factor is upped as well.
The first thing one hears is clarity; lots and lots of clarity. Vocals are more focused and realistic with perceived less distortion. Imaging is more solid and depth is nicely deepened. The overall sound is quieter as well. This is a lot of added performance from just a new platter change. It's more than I expected.
In the past I've bought two mods from VPI: an upgrade kit for a Model 16 record cleaning machine (taking it to 16.5 model) and this Scout platter mod. With these two, I am 2 for 2 as neither fit. Leonardo da Vinci couldn't have installed the 16 mod, so I ultimately gave it away and bought the 16.5 cleaner. This Scout platter change didn't fit either, plus it doesn't come with instructions. Even so, I managed to get it to fit thanks to E.A.R.'s Dan Meinwald and his advice. It needed five large washers (not included) that I was able to source from my local Ace Hardware. Adding those washers is no big deal, but you have to make sure that you order your platter for the correct model turntable, even though that didn't help me.
If you are using an SDS controller, you must boost the juice to attain accurate speed …after all, this platter weighs considerably more. Also, it's taller so you will need to raise your arm, though no azimuth change was needed for my tonearm. You will though need to rebalance the entire turntable with its adjustable feet.
I have never been a fan of 100% acrylic platters from anyone and this new acrylic/stainless/acrylic sandwich Super Platter drives that opinion home. The new platter sounds so much more natural and right than the stock platter. What a great mod!
At $1200, the new Super Platter from VPI is a winner and then some! Gorgeous to use and see, I love it. I heard improved performance across the board. Have your dealer install it for the least aggravation, but if you own a Scout or any other model, you must buy this upgrade. It's worth every Peso and enhances your investment in vinyl. "Made in America" is looking mighty nice right now. Thanks VPI for continuing your quest to offer your customers the best you can! It earns my highest recommendation for all VPI turntable owners.

Opinions on header wrap for svt header?
Going to be installing my svt header soon and wanted to order the header wrap for it... Obviously lots of guys on here have done this swap... I remember seeing a post with amount of header wrap someone used but can't seem to find it now... So wondering what everyone has used(dei titanium, regular wrap with silicone coating, ect)? Also what size roll(I.e. 2in x 50ft roll, ect)? And feedback would be greatly appreciated... Thanks...
2" x 50' will be just enough to wrap the whole header. What brand you use is up to you. I would suggest though spraying it with some of that header wrap spray that they make to help it keep from rotting off. I just used some generic header wrap off of Ebay and it worked fine, it is after just fiberglass or what ever it's made of, though I've header good things about that titanium DEI wrap, but to me it's all the same.
Thanks... I thought I had read a thread when doing previos searches that a 50' roll would work... Wasn't sure if it was one or two inch tho...did u coat yours afterwards with the silicone spray? Or while u were wrapping it? Also how many ties did u use and what size? And how much a overlap did u use when wrapping?
I used a inch over lap on the 2" wide roll, I forget how many ties I used but I remember it was quite a bit more than I thought it would be, but I also wrapped each pipe separately where some will wrap a pipe and move onto the next one. I didn't spray it with anything and it eventually rooted and fell off. If you touched it, it would turn to almost dust lol but I had mine on for a long time, it all falls off and rots eventually. It drastically lowered my under hood temps though when it was on there. You could put your hand on the intake side of the valve cover and hold it there, before you couldn't do that.
Thanks for the info... I kno this is proly a stupid ? But do u remember if it was dei wrap or the no name stuff? Also how long did it last? Proly gonna be about a year if I do go FI but I plan on keeping the car a long time...
Doesn't matter what brand it will all rot eventually. A local member has the DEI stuff and it's rotting off too. The stuff I used was the no name ebay stuff. It should easily last a year though. Mine lasted a few years without being sprayed.
I used aircraft wire to hold mine in place.
The last one I wrapped I used the ties in the kit and cut the hell out of my fingers. Never again I told myself.
And, thicker doesn't change anything. It's how tight the wrap is that makes it work well.
I've done minimal overlap, double wrap and in-between. Surface temp didn't change much at all.
The biggest change I saw was wrap with the factory heatshield.
Ok thanks... I appreciate the info from both of you... I think I will just buy dei wrap and hope for the best.. It's not a huge difference in price... Iminhell... Will I need the svt heat sheild or will my stock zetec one fit? My stock one is in almost perfect shape...
It's spendy but helps tremendously.
Use large flat washers on both sides of the lower mount bolts. That point gets very hot and it's the fist place mine rusted through, in like 6 months.
Ok Ile look for a sheild on here... Thanks

I guess it could be the relay but it's strange that the car doesn't sputter at all. Even if the pump shuts off there should still be enough fuel pressure to make the car sputter for a second before shutting off.
The lights are still on in the dashboard so that's telling me that it isn't a loose ground, and if the lights stay on without dimming you're probably getting enough power for spark. Did the problem just start on its own, or did it happen after someone did work on the car? If the relay isn't expensive, you could give it a try just to rule out the fuel system. If it isn't the fuel system then it's weird that changing the fuel filter actually helped. Did you ever change the crank sensor?
I'm trying man, but I wish I could check your car out in person. It's hard to do this over the internet, but I'll keep giving help if I can. If you do take it to another shop, make sure you tell them everything that you changed and everything that you tried to make it easier for them to pinpoint. I'd really like to find out what's wrong with it.

well, assuming you are in airodump, you could add -a and be done with looking at clients that are not associated
can you do anything with clients that show up as unassociated? other then sit there and watch them try to connect to a network?

-Monkeys are like nature's humans.
lol no i don't sit around waiting for them, i just get a few showing up when i'm in airodump. i was just curious as to if you could connect to their workstation or send information to and from etc.
And Im also curious to know if leaving you wlan switch on unconnected is potentially dangerous or left open for an attack in some way.
can anyone post any links for information on this? and or guides
Try reading up on the caffe-latte attack in the aircrack set of tools, thats something to do with unassoc clients, its still in testing but read up on the theory behind it at aircrack's web site, not seen any good tuts for it yet, but its fairly self-explanitory.
Or if you can borrow a lappy thats vunerable check out the metasploit broadcom_wifi_ssid exploit.... well worth reading up on!
Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.
Simple Nomad gave a talk about unassociated clients 2 years ago at Shmoocon. I'm sure there's video of it.
A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.
Thanks guys, i will have a read up

I apologize for that. I was posting using my phone and didn't pay close enough attention. What I was wondering is how is the inside of the torso armor? Do you have padding or does it all sit directly on your shoulders and hug your body.
I apologize for that. I was posting using my phone and didn't pay close enough attention. What I was wondering is how is the inside of the torso armor? Do you have padding or does it all sit directly on your shoulders and hug your body.
That armor looks very impressive. Great work with everything. I love the detailing and the chains. This suit almost (almost) makes Boba look like a wimp. A very tough looking suit of armor!
Keeping cool is going to be tough. I don't know how to keep cool under the armor but those Cool downz wraps that go around your neck might help give some relief. Just make sure you drink plenty of Gatorade and water cause if you get into hot areas your might sweat like crazy. Best of luck with the con.
everything looks great man but from what i saw of your main chest armor you might be stuck with the heat. thats the price for looking awesome. it would be nice if the had some conventions inOctober - April though! Hopefully it'll cool off before DragonCon
Yeah the heat isnt so much the problem as is the sweat. Dragon Con, sounds like fun one of these days ill have to make it there not this year though
Almost huh, that is better then what i could have hoped. Glad you like it. Ill have to check into those cool down thigns, any help would do wonders.
No padding, sits right up, pretty tight, there are a few pockets, so i might play around with cooling pads, i have two weeks to futz with it.
Ok. first, sorry about the tons of posts didnt know thats how it would work. second i have been looking at different variations on ice pack vests. There isnt much room on the inside but there are some places i could squeeze in an ice pack or two. also they make dry ice packs that are pretty cheap. so i might toy with the cooling vests and or make my own and see what comes out of it. Thanks for the feed back everyone!
Whoa, that's one wicked armour! I love the colours and the chains! Hope you get that heat-thing sorted out, though. Don't want you fainting while wearing it.
Glad you like it, so far it has been well received by TDH community. I am so happy with the way it turned out especially with winging the design/engineering part of it. Tried to tell people i was doing something that hadn't been done yet.
You should try the shirts from Underarmour. Their Heat Gear line isnt bad. I used to wear it under my body armor in Iraq and it did a decent job helping with sweat and it wont be visible.
UnderArmour in conjucntion with some sort of ice pack is sort of what im thinking. I ordered some Techni-ICE sheets. a type of dry ice. cant mod it to fit what size you need, think it will do the trick.... we will see.
When you do troop in that make sure you drink plenty of water. The armor is wicked sweet, you did a fantastic job!
Well, I like the style with the Chains and Color but i dislike the epical inflexability of the Ab-section.
Seriously, Heavy Body-armor mustn't limit you ability to bend, flex, croutch, etc. But i think you will note that after a few troops.
i see your point, but i donât mind it really. Honestly, my ability to bend and what not arent hindered really anymore then when i had the standard clothy armor. I can sit, kneel, walk, and all just fine. I would think that by definition heavy armor, especially the roman cuirass, that i modeled mine after have the epical inflexibility as you called it. Is it the most comfortable thing... no, but most armor isnt, most bulky cosplay are annoying.
Any type of armor is always a balancing act between mobility and better protection. Having worn many different types of bullet resistant vest myself, including vests rated for stopping rifle rounds, I can say that the heavy armor that you created here would not hinder movement any more than real world body armor. Having said that. THIS IS THE COOLEST ARMOR EVER!
Here is the gun. Masking this off took forever. Decided that i had enough gloss with the armor so i went flat with the gun. Although i used a flat primer on the chest and have to admit if i could do it over again i would have gone flat black throughout. I would love to add more belts to the ammo belt but they dont sell them seperate of the gun...
Joe, couldnt have asked for a better complement, glad you approve. You are right about the trade off between mobility and protection, not to forget the bad *** factor. I am game to lose some mobility if it looks amazing.

thats some pretty beefy armor, man... looks great.. well done....
Made it back from the con in one piece, a little worse for wear but the suit went over great! Ill have pics up soon enough. So i had one issue, i designed the chest piece to be tight... and when i found the heating issue i added ice packs, which worked like a charm! was able to wear the suit for a whole day, never had to get out of it! The ice pack pushed the frame around a bit and with that the frame sat weird on my hip and sternum. ended up with a few pretty deep cuts. live and learn, the chest piece has a date with a grinder. Getting badges for a few more Denver cons... will be good.
so it has been a long time since i have been on here. The armor has gone over amazingly well everywhere i go. It does weigh a bit, hell the thigh armor with the chain band around it weighs 10lbs alone... and the inch think bondo chest with steel frame is a bit much... long story short... It was a huge learning curve and i think i am ready for version 3.0. The new designs make this one look weak... (so maybe i can give Boba a run for his money eh DarthMater?) I Going to go the fiberglass route although i tossed around the EVA or worblas possibility for a while. There is just so much detail one can control with bondo. the weight is just something you have to deal with, suffering for your art or something like that. The new suit will still be the roman chest (maybe a little less form fitting ), plenty of the chain work, which i will still be using steel for that. The limited mobility in the abs wasn't a big deal, and i have trooped plenty in it. I did solve the heat issue, the second year, just made a harness with pockets and added 'dry' ice packs. I just wanted to thank you all for your kind words and PMs and support during this, you were all amazing, TDH is the best community for any aspiring mandalorian.
Wow Nice Custome Mando Brother!!! Love your full heavy plate armor look, the cainmail and the medallion cape attachment / cover is a nice touch. After I'm done with My PP2 I'm looking forward to building my custome Mando "Syper".
Great work take care Mr.

From Churchill DownsLazy Lane Farm's Blues In Seattle, a daughter of the late Kentucky Derby and Triple Crown winner Seattle Slew, hopes to capture some of her sire's magic under the Twin Spires of Churchill Downs Saturday when she makes her stakes debut in a field of seven 2-year-old fillies in the 102nd running of the $100,000-added Debutante Stakes (gr. III).
The five-furlong Debutante, which was first run in 1895, is the featured 10th race on an 11-race Saturday card on the final weekend of racing in the Churchill Downs Spring Meet. Post time for the first of the day's races is 1:10 p.m.The Virginia-bred Blues In Seattle, who has been installed as the 5-2 morning line favorite for the Debutante, is owned and was bred by Joseph Allbritton's Lazy Lane Farm. She scored a sharp victory for trainer Frank Brothers in her career debut on June 9 at Churchill Downs. She won a five-furlong maiden race by a half-length in near track record time of :57.39. "She's obviously been a very precocious 2-year-old," said Brothers. "She got ready to run early and has done everything right. It looks like she has some ability and has got the right kind of pedigree." Blues In Seattle's legendary sire enjoyed the greatest day of his career at Churchill Downs when the unbeaten colt won the 1977 Kentucky Derby. Seattle Slew went on to win the Preakness and the Belmont Stakes to become the first and only unbeaten horse to win the Triple Crown.
Brothers trained her dam, Bourbon Blues, and second dam Beal Street Blues, who won the Del Mar Debutante and finished fifth in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies (GI) as a 2-year-old in 1992 for Allbritton. So the early success enjoyed by Blues In Seattle comes as no surprise to her trainer.
"She belongs in there and the timing between the races is very good," said Brothers. "It's a graded race and it would be great if she could run credibly in there." Blues In Seattle will be ridden by Lonnie Meche and will break from post three. Another major contender for the Debutante, Woodlyn Farm's D'Nile, will be looking to avenge an earlier loss to Blues In Seattle. The Ken McPeek-trained daughter of Capote finished third to that rival in her career debut and returned to established a track record for five furlongs in a 3 1/4-length maiden victory at Churchill Downs on June 23.
D'Nile will be ridden by Jose Martinez, Jr. and will break from post one. She is listed as the 3-1 second choice in the morning line. The Debutante field also includes Mike Tarp's Vibs, who finished fourth against colts in the Kentucky Breeders' Cup (gr. III); Awesome Humor, who won her only career race in April at Keeneland for trainer Ronny Werner; Audobon Stable's Bridget Says, a recent winner at Lone Star Park; the McPeek-trained Attemptress, winner of her lone start at Churchill Downs; and Miss Awesome, a recent winner at Churchill Downs.The field for the Debutante with jockeys and odds is as follows:
1) D'Nile, Jose Martinez, 3-1
2) Bridget Says, Larry Melancon, 8-1
3) Blues In Seattle, Lonnie Meche, 5-2
4) Vibs, Robby Albarado, 7-2
5) Miss Awesome, Willie Martinez, 20-1
6) Attemptress, Mark Guidry, 6-1
7) Awesome Humor, Calvin Borel, 4-1

Southern California Outcry Against Cirque du Soleil for HIV Discrimination Mounts, as Groups Join Protest Set for Jan. 22 and L.A. City Attorney Speaks Out
Find Your State
Legal Help Desk
Our Sponsors
(Los Angeles, January 15, 2004) -Cirque du Soleil, which is set to open a month-long show in Orange County tomorrow night, is under increasing fire in Southern California for HIV discrimination, with several leading local groups joining an ongoing campaign against the company, a protest set for Jan. 22 outside the Cost Mesa show and the Los Angeles City Attorney speaking out directly to Cirque's founder and CEO, Lambda Legal said today.
The protests are the latest in a nationwide outcry stemming from a federal discrimination complaint Lambda Legal filed in July against Cirque du Soleil on behalf of Matthew Cusick, who was fired because he has HIV. Although the company's own doctors cleared him to safely perform, Cirque du Soleil management told Cusick that because he has HIV the company would not continue to employ him.
"Like other communities across the country, Southern California is committed to holding Cirque du Soleil accountable for this discrimination," said Hayley Gorenberg, Director of Lambda Legal's AIDS Project, who represents Cusick. "When Cirque fired our client, they thought he would just go away -- but they're learning that public outcry about this discrimination will follow them all over the country."
Today, Lambda Legal announced that a range of influential organizations have joined the campaign against Cirque du Soleil and will participate in protests next Thursday night outside Cirque's "Varekai" performance in Costa Mesa, which Cusick will also attend. They include: The AIDS Services Foundation of Orange County, the Orange County Gay and Lesbian Center, the Gay and Lesbian Center of Long Beach, International Action Center Los Angeles, the National Lawyers Guild of Los Angeles, The Elections Committee for the County of Orange (ECCO), and Pride At Work AFL-CIO.
This week, Los Angeles City Attorney Rockard J. Delgadillo wrote to Cirque du Soleil's founder and CEO, Guy Laliberte, to express concern about Cusick's case and offer to educate Laliberte about HIV transmission. In his letter, Delgadillo said that if Cirque fired Cusick solely because he has HIV (which Cirque has repeatedly admitted is the case) then, "Cirque du Soleil has undermined years and years of public health efforts to educate employers that workplace safety - even in the world of sports and entertainment - is dependent on knowledgeable, consistent, vigilant workplace safety protocols, not discrimination against those living with HIV."
The Southern California protests and Delgadillo's letter come just weeks after similar protests outside other Cirque shows in San Francisco and Los Angeles. In late November, the San Francisco Human Rights Commission launched a formal investigation into Cirque because it was leasing public property, and local law prohibits companies with city contracts from discriminating against people with HIV. That investigation, which is expected to conclude in the next few weeks, could result in fines against Cirque du Soleil or an order banning the company from city contracts.
In formal letters and messages to the public, Cirque du Soleil admits that it fired Cusick solely because he has HIV, but claims that such action is not "discrimination." Cirque du Soleil says Cusick was fired "solely for safety reasons." In response to the San Francisco Human Rights Commission's investigation, Cirque said that people with HIV are eligible for employment in positions that do not involve bodily contact.
"Matthew Cusick was fired from his dream job despite his qualifications and training, and contrary to sound science and medicine. He is clearly qualified to do this job, and he can do it safely," Gorenberg said. "There has never been a case of an athlete or entertainer transmitting HIV during competition or performance."
Pride At Work, AFL-CIO, which represents LGBT workers and union members nationwide, joined the campaign against Cirque today and will mobilize union members for next Thursday's protest. "We are proud of the labor movement's involvement in fighting AIDS-based discrimination," said Marta Ames, Executive Director for Pride At Work, AFL-CIO. "We condemn outright the bigotry and ignorance reflected by the Cirque du Soleil treatment of Matthew Cusick, and we join with Lambda Legal and a host of other organizations and individuals who demand that he be reinstated. In the 21st century, there is no place for the ignorant and petty actions of the Cirque du Soleil management."
According to James Lafferty, Executive Director of the National Lawyers Guild in Los Angeles, "the claim that a circus performer who is HIV-positive poses a risk to his co-workers is ignorant and woefully outdated. It flies in the face of modern medical, legal, and moral thinking. The only 'risk' in this case is the risk that Cirque's baseless claim will lead to more discrimination against people who are HIV-positive."
Other organizations supporting the campaign against Cirque du Soleil include: the Stop AIDS Project; the National Association of People with AIDS; Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays; Horizons Foundation, the National Center for Lesbian Rights; the Gay and Lesbian Medical Association; and Being Alive/People with AIDS Action Coalition. Rudy Galindo, a former U.S. men's figure-skating champion who was one of the first major U.S. athletes to continue competing on the world stage after disclosing his HIV status, supports the campaign, along with other athletes and entertainers.
In addition to community action at Cirque's Orange County show on the evening of January 22, Lambda Legal and local leaders will protest Cirque du Soleil performances in a number of cities, including Atlanta (March 25 through April 11, 2004) and New York (May 6 through June 6, 2004).

Personal Information
Personal Bio
I'm overqualified, underpaid and a perpetual student.
I'm currently on the final part of a dissertation at Masters level and simultaneously working on becoming a qualified typist.
I restore BJD in my spare time (HA), cosplay and other such things.
Username used to be "silver-vixi".
Cosplay Bio
I swas really introduced to cosplaying about a decade ago when my friend at school showed me a whole new world of geekery.
I created my first cosplay age 17 (gosh that was a long time ago!) and have been hooked ever since.
That being said, although I enjoy cosplay circumstances haven't been kind, money has been tight and jobs some times disappear, which for a few years at least, stilted my cosplay ambitions!
However, I am now significantly more stable and enjoying experimenting with a whole range of new techniques! I love trying new methods, they may not make it to being a cosplay, but I love the experimenting and doing!
At the moment I am being pulled increasingly towards creature cosplay and creation. I'm currently working on a number of creature costumes incorporating a variety of techniques and challenges - stilts, working with resin, wefts and fur, armour too!
My favourite cosplay has to be Alice the Rabbit, she's a stilted cosplay and she was contructed at a time where my boyfriend and I were at a low, no jobs, very little income and we used her as a kind of therepy!
She was impressive to look at and we took her to a couple of masquerades, including entering the Eurocosplay at Ayacon (which resulted in the design being revised over and over again!). Unfortunately, the materials I used for the suit were low quality and the body suit is no more! I have kept the head and other accessories and the stilts are in perfect working order - although we are working on Mark 2s!
