Besides www.iphone4s.com, the other six are iphonecamforce.com, iphonecam4s.com, iphoneporn4s.com, iphonesex4s.com, iphonexxforce.com, and porn4iphones.com. The owner of the domain names was an Israeli company that turned them over to Apple after the tech giant filed a complaint with the World Intellectual Property Organization. Back in July, WIPO ordered that the ipods.com domain be turned over to Apple. That case required a ruling from the organization in order for Apple to obtain control of the name while in the latest situation, the seven domain names were turned over to Apple before a ruling was necessary.
The iphone4s.com domain name was registered 3 years before the introduction of the Apple iPhone 4S. Apple does own the rights to iphone4.com, but not iphone3gs.com and iphone3.com. While ownership of the seven porn-linked domain names has changed, typing in the sites on your browser could still result with the porn site coming on your screen as it is up to Apple or MarkMonitor to change the destination site that the nameserver points to, and so far they have failed to do so in some cases.

Xenazine® (tetrabenazine) Frequently Asked Questions
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of Xenazine® (tetrabenazine) to the Xenazine Information Center (XIC) at 1-888-882-6013 or to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
What is
Xenazine ® (tetrabenazine)?
Xenazine is the first FDA-approved treatment for chorea associated with Huntington's disease. It treats a symptom of Huntington's disease (HD) called chorea (kor-EE-ya), or involuntary movements. These movements can be brief, repetitive and jerky or uncontrolled and dance-like.
Xenazine is a medicine that may reduce the involuntary movements of HD chorea but cannot cure the cause of these movements. It's not known whether Xenazine is safe and effective in children.
How does Xenazine® (tetrabenazine) work?
How Xenazine exactly reduces HD chorea is not known. It is thought that Xenazine reduces the amount of certain chemicals in the brain that help control body movement.
In a 12-week clinical study with HD patients, Xenazine reduced chorea in more than two-thirds of the individuals who took it, while one-third stayed the same or worsened. The most commonly reported side effects in studies with Xenazine were sleepiness, trouble sleeping, depression, tiredness, anxiety, restlessness, agitation and nausea.
Xenazine is a medicine that may reduce the involuntary movements of HD chorea but cannot cure the cause of these movements.
Who should not take Xenazine® (tetrabenazine)?
- Are depressed or have thoughts of suicide.
- Have liver problems.
- Are taking a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) medicine. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.
- Are taking reserpine. Do not take medicines that contain reserpine (such as Serpalan® and Renese®-R) with Xenazine. If your doctor plans to switch you from taking reserpine to Xenazine, you must wait at least 20 days after your last dose of reserpine before you start taking Xenazine.
What should I tell my doctor before taking Xenazine® (tetrabenazine)?
Tell your doctor about all your medical conditions, including if you:
- Have emotional or mental problems (for example, depression, nervousness, anxiety, anger, agitation, psychosis, previous suicidal thoughts or suicide attempts).
- Have liver disease.
- Have any allergies. See the end of the Medication Guide for a complete list of the ingredients in Xenazine.
- Have breast cancer or a history of breast cancer.
- Have heart disease that is not stable, have heart failure or recently had a heart attack.
- Have an irregular heartbeat (cardiac arrhythmia).
- Are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. It is not known if Xenazine can harm your unborn baby.
- Are breast-feeding. It is not known if Xenazine passes into breast milk.
Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, including prescription medicines and non-prescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal products. Using Xenazine with certain other medicines may cause serious side effects. Do not start any new medicines while taking Xenazine without talking to your doctor first.
How do I take Xenazine® (tetrabenazine)?
Xenazine is a tablet you swallow. You can take Xenazine with or without food. Xenazine comes in two different tablet sizes, 12.5 milligrams (mg) and 25 mg.
You should always take Xenazine as prescribed by your doctor. Finding the right dose is an essential part of your treatment, and the right dose is different for everyone. Depending on your or your loved one's condition and previous history with taking Xenazine, your doctor will start slowly and may increase the strength and number of tablets (dose) you take over the course of several weeks up to a few months.
Tell your doctor if you stop taking Xenazine for more than 5 days. Do not take another dose until you talk to your doctor.
The process of slowly increasing your dose is also known as titration. Your doctor may give you a dosing schedule to help you keep track of when and how much Xenazine to take. If your doctor thinks you need to take more than 50 mg of Xenazine each day, you will need to have a blood test to see if a higher dose is right for you.
While taking Xenazine, it is important to remain patient since it may take awhile for your physician to find the right dose that works for you. During this time, you may experience some side effects, so be sure to communicate with your doctor about how you are feeling. Some side effects are dose-dependent, and may decrease as your dose is decreased. Your doctor may adjust your dose.
Be sure to contact your doctor if your chorea is not decreasing enough, as this may be a sign that your dose needs to be increased.
Is it okay to take Xenazine® (tetrabenazine) with all my other medications?
Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, including prescription medicines and nonprescription medicines, vitamins and herbal products. Using Xenazine with certain other medicines may cause serious side effects. Do not start any new medicines while taking XENAZINE without talking to your doctor first. If you're getting other medications from a local pharmacy, it's a good idea to tell the pharmacist you're taking Xenazine.
When will Xenazine® (tetrabenazine) start working?
The dose of Xenazine may be different for every person. Your dose will depend on factors such as:
- How your body breaks down and responds to the medicine.
- Whether side effects are a problem for you.
Your doctor will start you on a low dose of Xenazine. For some people, a low dose works fine, but your doctor may need to gradually increase your dose to find the right dose to reduce your HD chorea. This process is called titration. If your doctor thinks you need to take more than 50 mg of Xenazine each day, you will need to have a blood test to see if a higher dose is right for you. It may take several weeks for your doctor to find the correct dose for you. Talk to your doctor if you don't think Xenazine is working for you.
What are the possible side effects of Xenazine® (tetrabenazine)?
Xenazine can cause serious side effects, including:
- Depression, suicidal thoughts or actions.
- Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS), a potentially fatal side effect. Call your doctor right away and go to the nearest emergency room if you develop these signs and symptoms that do not have another obvious cause:
- High fever
- Stiff muscles
- Problems thinking
- Very fast or uneven heartbeat
- Increased sweating
- Parkinsonism. Symptoms of parkinsonism include: slight shaking, body stiffness, trouble moving or keeping your balance.
- Restlessness. You may get a condition where you feel a strong urge to move. This is called akathisia.
- Trouble swallowing. Xenazine may increase the chance that you will have trouble swallowing. Increased coughing may be the first sign that you are having trouble swallowing. Trouble swallowing increases your risk of pneumonia.
- Irregular heartbeat. Xenazine increases your chance of having certain changes in the electrical activity in your heart which can be seen on an electrocardiogram (EKG). These changes can lead to a dangerous abnormal heartbeat. Taking Xenazine with certain medicines may increase this chance.
- Dizziness due to blood pressure changes when you change position (orthostatic hypotension). Change positions slowly from lying down to sitting up and from sitting up to standing when taking Xenazine. Tell your doctor right away if you get dizzy or faint while taking Xenazine. Your doctor may need to watch your blood pressure closely.
- Tardive dyskinesia (TD). TD is a condition where there is repeated facial grimacing that cannot be controlled, including sticking out of the tongue, smacking of the lips, puckering and pursing of the lips, and rapid eye blinking. Xenazine works like other drugs that can cause TD. If you get TD with Xenazine, it is possible that the TD will not go away.
The most commonly reported side effects in studies with Xenazine were sleepiness, trouble sleeping, depression, tiredness, anxiety, restlessness, agitation and nausea.
You or your loved one should always talk to your doctor about any problems or side effects you are having. Do not stop taking Xenazine without talking to your doctor first. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) at 1-800-FDA-1088.
What should I do if I have a side effect?
If you think you're having a side effect from Xenazine® (tetrabenazine), "call your doctor," says Christine Hunter, RN, nurse manager of the HDSA Center of Excellence at Baylor College of Medicine. "There are many different things we can do to manage side effects."
It's important to call your doctor as soon as you notice a side effect. Your doctor may decrease your dose. Some side effects are dose-dependent, and may decrease as your dose is adjusted.
Do not stop taking Xenazine without talking to your doctor first. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) at 1-800-FDA-1088.
What happens if I skip a dose of Xenazine® (tetrabenazine) or stop taking it?
Before starting Xenazine, you should talk to your healthcare provider about what to do if you miss a dose. If you miss a dose and it is time for your next dose, do not double the dose.
If you stop taking Xenazine, your chorea may return or worsen 12–18 hours after you took the last dose. Tell your doctor if you stop taking Xenazine for more than 5 days. Do not take another dose until you talk to your doctor.
Xenazine® (tetrabenazine) has a boxed warning. What does that mean?
A boxed warning, according to the FDA, is the most serious warning for a prescription medication. Boxed warnings highlight important safety information and help doctors and nurses understand how to handle it.
The boxed warning for Xenazine warns of the increase in risk of depression and suicidal thoughts and behavior in patients taking Xenazine. Anyone considering the use of Xenazine must balance the risks of depression and suicidality with the clinical need for control of HD chorea.
You or your loved one should not start taking Xenazine if you are depressed (have untreated depression that is not well controlled by medicine) or have suicidal thoughts. Pay close attention to any changes, especially sudden changes, in mood, behaviors, thoughts or feelings, or worsening depression. This is especially important when Xenazine is started and when the dose is changed.
Will I be able to afford Xenazine (tetrabenazine)?
Lundbeck, the manufacturer of Xenazine (tetrabenazine), is pleased to offer a new co-pay assistance program for people who are taking Xenazine to treat their chorea associated with Huntington's disease (HD)*.
- New and existing Xenazine patients who have commercial insurance coverage for Xenazine are qualified for this program, which will cover 100% of their Xenazine co-payments! There's no paperwork required. You are not eligible for this program if your commercial insurance covers the entire cost of your prescription or you have a state or federal coverage. Eligibility will be determined on a calendar year basis.
- Patients with state or federal insurance coverage, such as Medicare, Medicaid, or TRICARE, may qualify for financial assistance with their co-payments from one or more charitable assistance programs.
- Patients who do not qualify for any charitable co-pay assistance programs will receive Xenazine from Lundbeck free of charge; your insurance or health coverage will not be billed for the Xenazine provided.
Call the Xenazine Information Center (XIC) today at 1-888-882-6013 (toll-free) to learn more about financial assistance of your Xenazine copays.
*This offer is void where prohibited by law, taxed, or restricted. This offer may not be duplicated or transferred. This is not an insurance program. This offer may be changed or discontinued at any time without notice.
How do I get my Xenazine® (tetrabenazine) prescription filled?
Getting your prescription is different from many medications. You cannot get Xenazine from your local pharmacy or mail-order pharmacy.
Instead, your Xenazine prescription will be coordinated through the Xenazine Information Center and will be mailed to you by a specialty pharmacy. The exact specialty pharmacy that will send your medication depends on your insurance plan. The pharmacy could be Accredo, Caremark, Curascript, or Advanced Care Scripts (ACS).
Here's the process:
- Your doctor will fax your Xenazine prescription — also known as a treatment form — to the Xenazine Information Center.
- A representative from the Xenazine Information Center will check whether your insurance covers Xenazine or if there are any restrictions.
- The representative will then call you to discuss your co-pay and to let you know which specialty pharmacy will be sending you your medication.
- All refills will be managed by the specialty pharmacy.
The specialty pharmacy will also remind you when it's time to refill your prescription for Xenazine. Please read the Medication Guide that comes with Xenazine every time you refill your prescription.

LEANDER, Texas – NAU
volleyball senior Brittany Stowers has now added to her long list
of awards following the 2008 season as she was named to the
Collegiate Volleyball Update's (CVU) Stellar Spikers First
Team. Fourteen student-athletes earned first team honors, including
three from national champion Penn State and two from runner-up
Stowers was one of two liberos to earn the honor. In honoring the 88 total student athletes from across the nation, CVU.com looked for players that exhibited excellence and balance. While NCAA statistical rankings were considered, they weren't the only consideration. Also considered in forming the two teams of 14 and in choosing the 60 honorable mention selections was the impact the player had on helping her team succeed as well as conference awards.
First and second team selections were formed around the idea of building a team with a starting lineup of seven players and then two players per starting slot were chosen to fill out each team.
Stowers, who has now completed her eligibility at NAU, was named 2008 All-Big Sky First Team as well as the 2008 Libero of the Year in the Big Sky Conference. She was honored by the Big Sky all three seasons that she played for the Lumberjacks, and her first team honor this year marked the first time that a libero had been named to the first team in the Big Sky.
With 6.32 digs per set, Stowers finished her season ranked second in NCAA Division I. Lara Newberry of Chattanooga was first in that category and was also named to the CVU.com Stellar Spikers First Team.
Stowers completed her NAU career with 1,294 digs to rank second all-time, despite not playing her freshman season with the Lumberjacks. Added to her total digs at UTEP, Stowers tallied 1,953 digs in her career. Her total of 581 digs in the 2008 season is the most all-time in a single season at NAU, breaking her own record of 484 from 2007.

Exhaust Manifold?
1 Attachment(s)
Hey Guys
I have a manifold on a 327 that isn't the original exhaust manifold , this one was used to make room for the steering Column.
It has this stamped on the front of the manifold: 3837088 GM 2... the number after the two is a mark I can't ID.
Anyone recognize this manifold, year etc.
Thank You
The closest I can tell from searches is a Corvette, 55-57, not an exact match though. They also look a bit like a truck, I can't remember the year though.
Thanks, A mechanic friend had the same impute, maybe a pickup late 50's maybe...
My search is narrowing. I hope!
Thanks again
It LOOKS like a common everyday 55/56 Chevrolet V8 car manifold.
go here
They are almost required to put a 283 in a 40 Ford without moving the steering box. I had a set on my 40 Ford ( with a SBC ). :thumbup:
Does the manifold your referring to have and extended bracket type w/holes for bolting something. It's on the end of the manifold (Left side)?

Jungle Style Pinball Rating:
I think the title pretty much sums up what you are getting when you make this purchase, a pinball table with a jungle theme to it, nothing more, nothing less. Let it be said though that is no bad thing. Jungle Style Pinball keeps things simple. There is only one table, a single menu to scroll through and two buttons to play with so if you are new to pinball then there couldn't be a better game to start out with.
The game starts with a top-down floating shot of the pinball table and you instantly see that the table is graphically beautiful. The jungle theme is wall to wall, from the trees and vines of the table walls and the flora and fauna covering the table floor to the wooden bridge style ramps & lanes to the app standing tall over the playing area itself. And the jungle theme is also enhanced by the music and animal noises which is all in keeping with the overall theme.
A great looking table doesn't make a great pinball game on it's own however, it has to have a good feel to it too which is based on the features and their placement. The objects on the table include multiple spinners, drop targets, bumpers and slingshots to name just a few of the items but even with all these objects and the multiple rails that bend around the table it never feels cluttered and after a few goes you will soon get a feel of the table that will help you to start racking up the big points.
Ultimately the aim of any pinball game is to score as many points as possible and that is no different here, however the in game target appears to revolve around moving a ball through the center of a maze by triggering it to rotate one step at a time and I imagine that this is where you will be rewarded with the really big points. I say I imagine and that's because I've never actually been able to reach the center of the maze before I have run out of balls but as this is an addictive game I will continue to try!
As mentioned previously the controls are very simple. Touching the right side of the screen fires the right flippers while touching the left side of the screen will fire the left hand flippers and because the game doesn't restrict you to pressing a couple of virtual buttons to do this it means watching a ball slide down into the out hole as you miss the flipper button almost non-existent. You also have the option to play the game viewing the whole table or can zoom for a closer view where the table will then scroll with the ball. Both views work well and it will be a personal preference as to which you use.
Your best scores are recorded locally and if you wish it can be submitted to the global high score board, be warned though, the global high scores are massive and it will take some serious pinball skills and time to reach the top echelons of the global high score board.
Sometimes you don't need bells and whistles in a game to make it stand out from the crowd, you simply need it to do what it's supposed to with quality and substance and that's exactly what you get with Jungle Style Pinball. If you are looking for your first pinball game for your iPhone/iPod touch or are looking to add a new one to your collection you won't be disappointed with the 99c you spend on Jungle Style Pinball.

GM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz Brings Chevy Volt on Late Night with David Letterman and it's Awesome
I will be the first to say, the Volt has been vindicated in a most wonderful way.
A few weeks ago Tesla CEO Elon Musk brought the Model S on Late Night with David Letterman and Dave misrepresented the Chevy Volt, calling its 40 mile range "ridiculous."
Last night after having issued a challenge to do so, Letterman invited Lutz on his show along with the Chevy Volt show car. The result, in my opinion, was wonderful.
First Letterman gave a five minute monologue explaining how he wants to see this country achieve energy independence (FIRST VIDEO BELOW). He admitted he bought and drives the Tesla Roadster. He described himself as not being particularly tech savvy, and went on to say that when he derided the Volt and laughed about it with Musk, he was actually "woefully ignorant." He admitted that he didn't realize the Volt has a range extender. He even said he hoped he could get a free Volt.
In the next segment Lutz and Letterman had a seven minute interview (SECOND VIDEO BELOW). It was clear that Letterman as a car buff has a great deal of respect for Lutz and it showed. He was kind, quiet, and polite and Lutz spoke most of the time.
Lutz talked about the EV-1 and why GM cancelled it, he talked about what hybrid technology is, and he explained how the Volt works.
Lutz again admitted it is his best estimate the Volt will cost "right around $40,000" before incentives which would bring it to $32,500, and that it won't be in showrooms en masse until 2011 although will be available in late 2010.
Dave asked for the first one. Lutz said there are 7 or 8 others who want it (I believe I am one of them).
The Volt was rolled out on stage and Dave seemed to like it, of course he did his obligatory electrocution bit.
Personally, I don't think this could have turned out any better. Kudos to Letterman for admitting his mistake. Long live the Volt!
Dave's mea culpa:

How much juice is left in this commodity boom? The managers of the RS Global Natural Resources fund--which has shot up an annualized 34 percent over the past five years--contend that we're still in the early stages of a bull run, yet the easy money has been made. According to MacKenzie Davis and Ken Settles, who manage the $2.2 billion fund along with Andy Pilara, the best deals now aren't in the commodities themselves but in the stocks of commodity producers. U.S. News spoke recently with Davis and Settles about bubbles, "advantaged" companies, and why they don't invest in $125-a-barrel oil. Excerpts:
What's your outlook for commodities? Settles: We believe that we are in the early stages of a 10-to-20-year uptrend for commodities, driven largely by the rising costs to add new supply. As such, we don't see commodities as a speculative bubble. However, we do believe that the natural resource stocks are much more attractively priced than the commodities themselves. In fact, using long-term commodity price assumptions that are well below current spot prices, valuations for many natural resources stocks remain quite attractive. The opportunity is as good today as it was two to three years ago.
Davis: But the easy money, driven by the homogenous rise of commodities over the past five to six years, has been made. Going forward, investors will need to take a more nuanced approach when investing in the sector to reflect the expected differentiation in performance between commodities and commodity producers. We look for advantaged companies that can generate attractive returns in a much lower commodity price environment. That helps to protect our investors on the downside.
Settles: One thing that is important to realize is that there is a big difference between low-cost producers and high-cost producers. For example, there are some oil projects today that require $100 oil in order to generate a decent rate of return on the investment, and there are other projects that can generate attractive returns it at $30 to $40 oil. Rather than invest in companies that need extremely high oil prices to generate a decent rate of return, what we do is invest in companies that have the ability to reinvest in low-cost projects.
I would ask where you see the price of oil going, but I hear that you don't forecast commodity price levels. Settles: We don't spend a lot of time forecasting short-term moves in spot price, but we have pretty strong opinions about the long-term outlook. Although commodities will continue to be cyclical, we see the cost of most commodities continuing to rise, thus driving prices higher over time. If you're a longer-term investor, it's more important to pick the right company than to speculate on the near-term direction for the commodity.
What's a stock that fits your investing strategy? Settles: Denbury Resources owns a large, naturally occurring source of carbon dioxide in Mississippi, which puts it at an advantage in the Gulf Coast area. Injecting carbon dioxide into a reservoir allows previously inaccessible oil to be recovered, at very low capital costs. Finding and development costs in North America are running $20 to $30 a barrel, and we think Denbury's enhanced oil recovery projects will come in around $5 to $10 a barrel.
Davis: The CO2 deposit is a structural advantage that can't be competed away. The geology gives them a competitive advantage which can't be replicated.
Settles: We think there's very limited downside for Denbury in a multiyear period. We don't need to invest in $125 oil; we can find companies that can profitably produce at $40 a barrel.
What's a nonoil stock you like? Davis: Century Aluminum, a relatively small aluminum company based in Monterey, Calif. They have a collection of U.S.-based smelters [smelters process alumina into aluminum] which sit in the middle of the industry cost curve. Several years ago, they took on a significant project in Iceland, where they're developing a series of new smelters. Power is a key determinant of the aluminum cost curve, and in Iceland, Century has access to inexpensive hydro and geothermal power. The value of owning those assets in Iceland grows over time because of the structural challenges facing power on a global basis. They've locked up long-term power contracts at very low rates, which should allow Century to remain at the low end of a cost curve which continues to steepen.
Do you invest in renewable energy? Davis: We're focused on the economics and understanding the math behind projects. Broadly speaking, what we've seen so far in the alternative energy space is that the projects don't necessarily work without government subsidies, and the stocks don't work unless you're willing to assume very significant rates of growth over long periods of time.
However, we're looking for free options inside larger companies. For example, we have a number of coal investments that are putting significant funding toward clean coal technologies. That's a way to get access to their development without having to pay for it. We also try to follow the food chain with things like the nuclear renaissance and the water shortage, which we think we're getting closer to on a global basis. We won't necessarily invest in a General Electric, which is building a lot of the infrastructure, but we'll look at who the parts suppliers are and who's supplying alloys and metals.
How much of a portfolio should be dedicated to commodities? Davis: What's happening in commodities is probably the same thing that happened to real estate 10 to 15 years ago. Real estate went from being an optional allocation to pretty much a permanent allocation in portfolios. Whether it's a 5 percent or 15 percent allocation to commodities and natural resources varies by individual. It's also an interesting way, we think, to get exposure to the emerging economies, where much of the demand is coming from.

Happy Ohio? Survey says no
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WTVN) -- Ohio wasn't as happy in 2013 as it was in 2012, according to a survey from Gallup.
The Buckeye State ranked 46th among the 50 states, down from 44th a year earlier.
All of Ohio's neighbors dropped too, with the lone exception of Indiana. The Hoosier State went from 42nd in 2012 to 40th last year.
Pennsylvania took the biggest drop among neighboring states going from 29th to 36th. Michigan dropped one spot to 37th last year. Kentucky was 49th and West Virginia was 50th, both unchanged from 2012.
Hawaii normally gets the top spot, but it fell to 8th in 2013. North Dakota takes the top spot followed by South Dakota. Jobs appear to be the biggest reason and there are plenty to be had thanks to the oil industry. Nebraska, Minnesota, and Montana round out the top 5. Only Minnesota was in the top 5 a year ago.
Gallup conducted more than 178,000 interviews with American adults throughout the year in 2013.

looking to get the most accurate braids. Anyone know a source?
Thanks guys.

looking to get the most accurate braids. Anyone know a source?
Thanks guys.
I used horse hair from tandy leather. I think they are close.
HHHMMMMM!!! Gotmaul told me about that before. I have to look into making my own then. thanks for the link.
Thanks man. I think that might do the trick.
Yeah, they look good, but i'm going with something even cheaper! =)
Braided doll hair from a craft store. Only $2.00 Should do the trick as well.
I've made mine using the braided doll hair, but they used horse hair on the movie suits. I really don't like the feel and shine of synthetic doll hair, and the pre-braided stuff isn't nearly as thick as the ones in the movie. I want to replace mine with horse hair soon, which will allow me to braid them thicker.
I'd like to get real horse hair as well. My synthetic doll hair ones looked too cheesy I think, after I got a look at horse hair ones at CIII. Problem is I can't braid...maybe my wife can. Anyway, hey Seeker! If you order that horse hair from tandy and end up having some left over after you make your braids, I'll buy the rest off of ya. I hope to see you guys in Elgin this Saturday if you go...
I can braid, let me know if you need any help.
Maybe this might help:
1. Divide all the hair into three even sections and comb each section smooth.
2. Cross the right hand section over the middle section. The original right hand section is now the middle section.
3. Pull all the sections away from each other to tighten the plait.
4. Cross the left hand section over the middle section. The original left hand section is now the middle section.
5. Tighten the plait again.
6. Continue the process alternating right and left sections over the middle section, tightening each plait as you make it.
7. Secure the end of the braid with a rubberband or hair-safe ponytail holder.
Tips: You can learn to braid by using three pieces of string or rope laying flat on a table. Once you understand the concept, it's easy to make the transfer to braiding hair. Once you are adept at making the braid you will want to hold all the sections in your hands to increase your braiding speed and ensure uniform plaits. Try holding the outside sections between the thumb and index finger of each hand and moving the middle section between the index and middle fingers back and forth between both hands as the outside sections are crossed over it.This page has a few images that might help too.
i know a lot of people didnt know how to braid.. but this.. is just funny.. almost sad... its.. think about it.. i imagine all these "boba fetts" and such in there gear sitting at a table with an instructor teachin them how to braid.. lol... sorry.. humor.. laughing.. must.. have... air.. stop.. the pain.. lol... i dont mean to hurt anyones feelings but you gotta admit.. its funny.
Has anyone used those cheap hair extensions ?.. my sister says that you can get them quite long and in many colours :)
our leather factory place has them...BUT the problem from what I hear is that most horse hair comes in about 3/4 the length it should be, therefore you have to string them together at some point (of which I am oblivious). My thing is this, lets go up to TLF, get some horse hair and pay QUINCY five bucks to hammer it out !!! lol. But seriously, that's a good idea if I've seen one :)
I was at dragon con last year and saw a woman selling hair braid extensions and what not. She had them in 300 different colors. I asked her if she could make me longer ones then she had on display, she said yes. I had her make me up a set of all 3 colors, they look great, and were $15 total (and they came braided).
yeah, I got 5 feet of brown doll hair and black hair, and I suppose it will look somewhat strange, but when I wrap it around, and fray the ends, and am in my boba fett outfit, I don't think many people will be like, "So, where did you get your wookie scalps?.. from doll hair? "
You'd be surprised.
The problem with the Tandy horsehair is that it is too short. You need at least three feet to have the proper length, unless you want to connect them together somehow.
I went to a beauty supply store (Sallys?) and bought a few different colors of synthetic hair ($1.99 per pack), and braided it myself. The hair is very very long and was sufficient to wrap around my arm and still hang to my waist, even once braided.
It has a decent texture as well.
For the thread wrappings I used this thick thread ay wal-mart which i wrapped a 1000 times!:lol
Hey OSK,
Does "Sallys?" have a website? That looks FREAKIN AWESOME! Nice job!
Shinobi :skull
Hi all, does anyone know a good source for wookie scalps in the u.k.? i don't have the patience to braid them myself, so finished ones if i can.
slavefive is selling braids
his are sweet
very nicely done
I'm going the Sally route as well. The ESB braids seem softer than horse hair to me. Plus you can get these for around a $2 a piece. Sally does have a website, but they don't list some of the colors. I'm using the 100% Kanekalon Jumbo braid. I've got the 1B off black, and 22 Light Ash Blond. Still looking for the 613 bleach Blond.
You can always ask marsattack for wookie braids ....Heres my braids that arrive in the post from him today, marsattack uses real horse hairs on his braids too :)
They look good although im a little concerned on the thickness :facepalm hmmm..
I don't think the thickness is bad. I was just checking out my copy of Star Wars Chronicles and they look thinner than some of the ones I see on fan costumes. I think those are pretty good as is.
I found this online:

Hi all,I'd love to learn how to adapt patterns to suit the yarn I have. I have a stash of super bulky yarn (I think? Crystal Palace Puffin). I've been enjoying knitting hats with it and would love to attempt a pair of squooshy warmy socks for the winter for in my clogs.
Is there a standard recipe/formula for adjusting a pattern? Or ca n someone help me modify Silver's sock tutorial for super bulky yarn on 10.5 needles? (about 3.5 stitches/inch). I'd rather learn to do it myself so I can do it again in the future.
I don't know about adapting her pattern, but if you know the basic construction of socks you can make them out of weight. Do a swatch and calculate your stitches per inch (over 4 inches and divide by 4) then measure your leg and figure out how many to cast on based on your measurement and stitches per inch.
Here's a pattern for big bulky socks, too. http://web.archive.org/web/20060625080102/http://www.knittingnow.com/patterns/KN_Free.asp
Here's a sock calulator that would create the pattern for you based on measurement and gauge.http://www.panix.com/~ilaine/socks.html

ListBox.SelectedIndexChanged Event
Occurs when the SelectedIndex property or the SelectedIndices collection has changed.
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
You can create an event handler for this event to determine when the selected index in the ListBox has been changed. This can be useful when you need to display information in other controls based on the current selection in the ListBox. You can use the event handler for this event to load the information in the other controls.
If the SelectionMode property is set to SelectionMode.MultiSimple or SelectionMode.MultiExtended, any change to the SelectedIndices collection, including removing an item from the selection, will raise this event.
For more information about handling events, see Handling and Raising Events.
The following code example demonstrates how to use the SelectedIndexChanged event to search for and select an item in a different ListBox control. The example uses the SelectedIndexChanged event to determine when the selected item in the ListBox is changed. The example code then reads the text of the item using the SelectedItem property and calls the FindString method on a different ListBox using the text returned by SelectedItem in the first ListBox. If an item is found in the other ListBox, the item is selected. This example requires that two ListBox controls, named listBox1 and listBox2, have been added to a form and that both ListBox controls contain items that are identical. The example also requires that the event-handling method defined in the example is connected to the SelectedIndexChanged event of listBox1.
private void listBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { // Get the currently selected item in the ListBox. string curItem = listBox1.SelectedItem.ToString(); // Find the string in ListBox2. int index = listBox2.FindString(curItem); // If the item was not found in ListBox 2 display a message box, otherwise select it in ListBox2. if(index == -1) MessageBox.Show("Item is not available in ListBox2"); else listBox2.SetSelected(index,true); }

Longer barrel lengths give a longer sighting radius and if the powder is slow burning enough you will develop more velocity.
Most loads in .357/.38 special will not be slow enough burning to take advantage of the added barrel length. Sighting radius most likely will be the main gain.
I wouldn't think for the range of shots you would be making that there would be much if any advantage of round barrel over octagon. Unless you are shooting some exotic loads (Leverloution Ballistic tipped bullets) or extra hot loads that you would be shooting much over 100 yards.
If you want an authentic look, I would go with the octagon barrel. I wouldn't think you would be mounting a scope on this rifle.

Posted by Steve
Brewer fans are already lighting up message boards with anger over the newly announced trade: J.J. Hardy for Carlos Gomez. If you listen to them, Doug Melvin just mishandled the Brewers most valuable trade chip.
I suppose he may have, but I'm not convinced. Since Hardy laid an egg this year, I've been saying it's extremely difficult to gauge his trade value. Of this I'm certain: nobody was going to give up established starting pitching for him unless it was a bad contract. Before last season, sure. But Hardy really hurt the Brewers by slashing his trade value.
As far as Carlos Gomez is concerned… Well, yeah I admit he was one of the players I mocked the most in baseball. His offense in the majors to this point has been awful (.292 OBP). And can't stand how often he attempts to bunt. But, just bear with me and consider the following:
- Gomez is still only 23, and will be 24 this season. His OBP in the minors was .339, so there's reason enough to believe his offense could/should improve.
- His defense in center field is even better than Mike Cameron's. He's blazing fast and will cover a ton of ground in center. I really like that the Brewers are putting an emphasis on defense. I was afraid of a Corey Hart/Jody Gerut platoon in center, which would have been a big defensive downgrade from Mike Cameron.
- This, of course, means the end of Mike Cameron's run in Milwaukee. That's too bad; he is one of my favorite Brewers ever. But, this means the Brewers save a ton of money. Between Hardy and Cameron's salaries, the Brewers have slashed $14.5 million off last year's payroll. I say last year only because it's hard to say what A. Hardy would have received in arbitration or B. Cameron would have required to bring back. Still, it's a big chunk of change that can now be spent on pitching. They could actually afford someone like John Lackey now (not necessarily saying they should, just saying they probably could).
- I didn't see Hardy as the Brewers biggest trade chip. I think Mat Gamel has more trade value, and unfortunately I expect him to be traded. If he goes, it will definitely be for pitching.
- The Brewers could do what the Twins did with Gomez. They often played Denard Span, a superior offensive player, in center field, but subbed in Gomez late in a game when they got a lead. When the Twins were trailing late, they'd sub in Span for Gomez. The Brewers could do this with Jody Gerut.
- Female fans are sure to be devastated, but thankfully this trade is heartthrob for heartthrob. Gomez was number two to only to All-World, Mr. Sideburns himself, Joe Mauer in Minnesota among the ladies.
So, there you have it. Obviously you should decide for yourself whether to like this trade, but I am alright with it. I will say that while I'm "alright with it" as a Brewer fan, I love it from a Twins perspective. They can play Denard Span every day in center field, and they get what should be a big upgrade at shortstop. The Twins haven't had a good shortstop in years. Of course, this is all dependent on Hardy bouncing back, but their only risk if he doesn't is giving up a guy who played part time for them.
I'm not pleased to see Hardy go. I still think he's the better bet over Escobar to have a better year this season. But, the Brewers aren't trading Escobar, and they can't afford the luxury of keeping two good players at one position when they have such huge pitching needs.
When it boils down to it, this trade was spare part for spare part. Both players had fallen out of favor with their teams, and each is moving to a team that has a bigger need for him.
Finally, I'd just like to add that I seem to have cemented myself as "that Brewer fan that people know." How do I know this? Because in the first hour after this trade hit the press, my phone lit up with text messages. I heard from people I haven't spoken to in weeks, even months in a couple cases. "Gomez for Hardy!" "What do you think of the trade?" "Gomez!? Really!?" etc, etc.

New name for Lander's community center almost finalized
(Lander, Wyo.) – The Lander City Council on Tuesday evening came close to finalizing a new name for the nearly completed community center.
The consensus among the council members was that the new name should be "Lander Community and Convention Center."
A number of ideas were thrown out at last night's work session, including "Lander Event and Community Center," "Lander Event and Convention Center," "Lander Community Center," and other variations using words like "Fremont" and "Wind River."
But ultimately, everyone agreed the city's name should be on it as should the word "community." Mayor Mick Wolfe and other councilmen lobbied for the use of "convention" as well because the new community center was designed to attract larger events from across the state and region. Jared Kail of Wyoming Inc., which has been hired to help put together marketing materials, said his company's research showed that the word "community" alone could make outsiders think the place is smaller than it is and therefore easily overlooked.
Candidate for City Council Ward 2 Ed Patik said he didn't see a reason to change the name at all. He also said many people are upset with the look of the building and that the council should have explored a log-like design for the front. The council reiterated to Patik the process that was used to design the building, which included a committee of local residents. A log front was determined to be too costly both upfront and to maintain.
The name "Lander Community and Convention Center," while a clear favorite, has not been formally finalized. The council is expected to vote on a resolution to that end next Tuesday.
In other community center news, the council also voted Tuesday evening to give Sehnert Systems Inc. an additional 14 days to reach substantial completion. The company requested the extension due lost time from bad weather days. This makes the new due date Aug. 22, though the company believes they'll be done by the 20th.

bebe Black Strapless Dress
I'm not the biggest fan of Bebe, but this dress seems like a good buy. A strapless dress that fits great is perfect for cocktail parties or nights on the town. Pair with a belt at your natural waist (as pictured) or wear alone for a more elegant look.
There's nothing wrong with pulling out a sassy little white tube top in the middle of summer. Class it up with a fancy bottom and you'll be casually fantastic.
Anja Flynt is back and better than ever with this new line. This tube top offers shape, but uses soft jersey cotton for comfort. There's even light padding on top and elastic under the bust to hold the girls in place.

Movie review: Her
14/01/2014 , 6:28 PM by Meghan Woods
Her is a romance with a difference that gives us a glimpse into the not too distant future, and the evolution of human communication.
Set in LA in the near future, Her tells the story of Theodore Twombly (Joaquin Phoenix). He's recently separated and makes his living creating hand-written letters for other people. Yes, people have so little time, or are too detached, to write their own letters. Theodore has isolated himself since his separation, communicating more with voice responding computers than humans. When he downloads a new operating system that calls herself Samantha (voiced by Scarlett Johansson), an intense relationship develops.
On paper a love story between a man and an operating system just shouldn't work, but thanks to an intelligent and creative script from writer/director Spike Jonze, this one does. He's made some clever decisions, firstly setting the story just far enough in the future that it's still relatable. The film is also multi-faceted, dealing with humour, romance and insightful social commentary. We have a generation coming through that communicates more with and through computers than ever before. It's not hard to believe that as emotional attachments between humans devolve, those with computers evolve.
Phoenix and Johansson take a great script and really bring it to life. He is emotionally broken and awkward, she's a great communicator who's great at getting his life back on track. They make the relationship believable. Amy Adams adds depth as the neighbor who should be communicating with Theodore, as does Rooney Mara as the soon to be ex-wife.
You could see this film as an improbable romance and let it wash over you, but if you choose to engage, there's a much deeper commentary going on. It's funny, touching, intelligent and insightful. Who knows, you might even find yourself having an in-depth human-to-human conversation that last long after the credits roll. 4.5 stars.

I make it no secret, I love when MLS teams play teams from the Liga Mx.
The edge in the air is different and it essentially is the United States against Mexico or Major League Soccer against the Mexican League.
It also becomes more intriguing when the match comes in the form of meaningful international competition such as the Concacaf Champions League quarterfinals.
Santos will come in to BBVA Compass Stadium with designs on branding themselves internationally and getting to the World Club Championships where they feel it is their only opportunity to play against a European Champions like Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester United or Bayern Munich.
"It is something we have focused on a-lot in recent years," says striker Herculez Gomez.
"We want to become an international club and an international brand. The only way to do that is compete against the world's best and the only way to get there is winning this tournment."
Up to this point the Dynamo navigated the Champions League wonderfully but will face an opponent of a totally different caliber than teams from Honduras and El Salvador.
Santos features international players like Gomez (US), playmaking wizard Darwin Quintero (Colombia), Oribe Peralta (Mexico) a gold medal winning striker and full Mexican international and Felipe Baloy (Panama) who is a physical presence at center back.
The Dynamo will need to perform at their best and provide themselves a cushion going back to Torreon one would think of two goals.
Clearly the Dynamo will be playing a team that is better in possession and holding the ball than many MLS teams and will have to defend for extended periods of time but will have to have periods of good pressure of their own and force goalkeeper and former Mexican international Oswaldo Sanchez to make plays.
It will be a rare night tomorrow when the Dynamo take on Santos and some will say it is MLS against Liga Mx.
I still find it surprising that some have not jumped on the excitement of teams from different countries competing against each other and re-kindling the U.S./Mexico rivalry and edge.
And no one will ever tell me that these games are not important from the perspective of winning over new and diverse fans to the Dynamo. One way to convince the Mexican soccer league fan is to just win. Opportunity comes tomorrow night.
What do you say and are you in tomorrow night at BBVA Compass Stadium!
Tomorrow I will break this game down and give you insight on Santos and how the Dynamo may approach this game. Plus some of the real challenges and match-ups to look for in this game.

Labour's love is being lost
Joseph Muscat would do well if he were to take a leaf from the diary of British Labour leader Ed Miliband. On Tuesday, Miliband was heckled and booed during an address to the Trade Union Congress after repeating his condemnation of this summer's strikes in Britain as a "mistake".
Miliband said he was unmoved on his position not to back the strike action, which saw tens of thousands of teachers and civil servants protest over pensions.
A number of the 300 delegates present shouted "shame" and took issue with the Labour leader's message in which Miliband warned unions they risk irrelevance, insisting they must embrace change and get private sector employers to recognise the unions' relevancy while pointing out that only 15 per cent of private sector employees in Britain are trade union members.
In a typical traditional militant trade union 'us-against-them' comment, Bob Crow, general secretary of the Rail Maritime and Transport union, said Miliband "needed to decide just whose side he is on".
Muscat's lesson from Miliband should be that the latter has the courage to take clear positions shorn of any ambivalence.
Even though his party depends financially on the unions with whom he has openly disagreed, Miliband stuck to his stand. Muscat, on the other hand, tries to be whatever whoever is listening wants him to be.
At the end of the day this stance, akin to serving God and the devil at the same time, is untenable.
Muscat must make it clear that his party has indeed been reformed and that today it can be considered to be a genuine mainstream European democratic socialist party.
Unfortunately Muscat still has a long way to arrive at that point, mainly because of his party's lingering efforts to take comfort from its uncomfortable past.
When they hear Labour's deputy leader Anglu Farrugia say he has decided to contest the fourth electoral district because he was a friend of the late Lorry Sant, people who are considering switching their vote to the PL are instantly put off.
This may be music to the ears of loyal Labour diehards who will keep on voting for the party irrespective of how their party behaves and presents itself, but this type of message certainly does not enhance Labour's chances at the polls in 2013.
Too many people are now starting to think Muscat is continually failing to persuade them that Labour has indeed turned a new leaf and has started from a fresh line under his leadership.
To do this successfully, Muscat must clearly admit Labour's past mistakes and promise they will not be repeated.
He should renounce the use of violence as a political tool, forego past friendships with all kinds of rogue states, affirming the importance of human rights in foreign relations and persuade people that it sincerely shares the vision of Malta as a small but economically vibrant EU member state.
Muscat has wasted too much time prevaricating: trying to send such positive messages while at the same time attempting to assuage the desires of those Labour supporters who still hanker after the 'good old times.' More than half the five-year span of the present legislature has passed and time is no longer on Muscat's side.
Labour's past relationship with the moribund Gaddafi regime, for example, is being depicted as something equivalent to – or even less pervasive than – the relationship of the different PN administrations with the Gaddafi-led Libyan government.
Add the bizarre allegation that Gaddafi financed the PN's Yes campaign in the EU membership referendum and you get the sort of hotchpotch that continues to keep reasonably minded people away from Labour. This allegation was recently made by Muscat's predecessor and the PL has not disassociated itself from it.
What was even worse was Muscat's attempt at linking the recent decision taken by Moody's to downgrade Malta's foreign-currency and local-currency government bond ratings with the alleged increase in the number of households that are finding it hard to make ends meet.
This is sheer nonsense.
The Maltese economic situation is certainly not as rosy as the PN propaganda machine depicts it to be but here the issue is one of curbing expenditure and ensuring that Malta can cope with its debt.
Labour ought to be explaining how it would tackle these problems rather than trying to square them with its eternal lament on the cost of living and its vague promises to reduce water and electricity tariffs.
For the past two decades, Labour has been pushing the notion that people are becoming increasingly worse off when this message rings a bell only with a very small minority of voters. Looking at the progress in our standard of living achieved since Labour lost its grip on the country in 1987, should be enough to spur Labour to change tack.
On the economic front, Labour has put itself in a quandary. It cannot criticise the economic situation seriously without saying that the country needs more austerity measures – the exact opposite of what it is promising.

A Florida limited liability company (LLC) is a popular business planning tool. Many lawyers use the LLC (as an alternative to Subchapter S corporations) as the preferred legal entity for new businesses. Asset protection attorneys also use the LLC as a legal tool for domestic asset protection planning. Membership interests in a limited liability company are not exempt from execution or attachment by judgment creditors, but Florida law gives creditors limited remedies against a debtor's LLC interest.
Florida Statutes restrict a creditor's remedy to what is known as a "charging lien" against the LLC's cash distributions. In the event the LLC manager chooses to make no distributions, the member's creditor gets nothing. There is an IRS revenue ruling that held that in the event an LLC has taxable income allocated to a debtor/member, but the LLC makes no distributions which are attachable by a charging lien, the member's creditor is responsible for the member's income tax liability even though the creditor receives no distributions by virtue of its charging lien. However, more recent court decisions suggest that a creditor is not liable for taxes on income the creditor does not receive as a result of a charging lien.
Nevis Limited Liability Companies
Establishing an LLC in an offshore jurisdiction gives another layer of asset protection. The Island of Nevis, in particular, has enacted favorable LLC laws in 1995. The Nevis Assembly amended the Ordinance in 2015 to improve the asset protection benefits of a Nevis LLC. Most importantly, Nevis, like Florida, permits a single-member limited liability company. Nevis law also establishes a charging lien as a creditor's exclusive remedy to attack a debtor's ownership interest in a Nevis LLC including single-member LLCs. Charging liens in Nevis expire after three years and are not renewable.
A transfer of assets by a U.S. citizen to an offshore single-member LLC does not have any adverse tax consequences otherwise associated with the transfer of assets to other offshore entities. It is unclear whether a Nevis court would even recognize a Florida judgment giving rise to a creditor's request for a charging order. Officials in Nevis have told me they know of no instance where a U.S. creditor has obtained a charging lien through Nevis courts to enforce a U.S. judgment.
Under the 2015 amendment, fraudulent transfer actions brought in Nevis are subject to a two year statute of limitations. The creditor must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the debtor transferred assets to a Nevis LLC to hinder or delay creditors. The 2015 amendment requires a creditor to post a cost bond of $100,000 before bringing any action to collect a judgment against a member of a Nevis LLC.
On the other hand, a 2015 Florida court has held that a creditor can foreclose a debtor's interest in a single member LLC through Florida court proceedings. The court held that LLC interests are intangible personal property that is subject to the jurisdiction of courts where the debtor resides. A debtor's interest in a multi-member LLC would be subject to a Florida charging lien. This court, and other courts around the country, have found that because the LLC is not a party to charging lien actions, a U.S. court does not need to have jurisdiction over the Nevis LLC in order to charge the debtor's interest. Still, it is unclear how a U.S. creditor enforces a U.S. charging order against a Nevis manager holding assets outside the U.S.
There are parts of the 2015 amended Nevis LLC law that help protect against a creditors efforts to attack Nevis LLC interest in U.S. courts. The 2015 Nevis LLC law provides that if a member's interest is subject to a charging lien the interest may be redeemed by other non-debtor members or by the member himself with other assets including exempt assets. Also, the amendment states that distributions payable to the charged member may be offset by calls for additional capital contributions. These two provisions arguably concern the LLC's "internal affairs" among its members. It is well-settled law in most U.S. jurisdictions that internal affairs are governed by the law of the jurisdiction where an entity is created as opposed to the jurisdiction where member/owners reside.
Nevis LLC Management
Under Nevis law, the manager of the LLC does not have to be a Nevis resident or a Nevis business organization. A Nevis LLC's manager may be the debtor/member herself or any other individual located either in the United States or a different foreign jurisdiction. A debtor serving as LLC manager has substantial control over the Nevis LLC and is able to physically maintain assets anywhere in the world. A Nevis LLC can own assets in the United States, Nevis, or anywhere else in the world. For example, a Nevis LLC may have a Florida bank account, or if appropriate, it may open an offshore account in Nevis or another popular banking center such as Switzerland.
A debtor serving as manager of his own Nevis LLC maintains control over LLC assets, but he does not have the best asset protection. A Nevis LLC provides optimal protection if the debtor appoints as either the initial or successor manager an individual or company outside of the United States. No U.S court has jurisdiction over a foreign manager. The foreign manager will have control over all Nevis LLC assets. An effective LLC operating agreement provides that the foreign manager cannot be removed by the debtor/member. It is critical that the U.S. debtor be willing to trust a foreign LLC manager if an aggressive creditor threatens to attack the Nevis LLC. Some debtors have friends or relatives living in foreign jurisdictions whom they appoint as initial or successor managers.
U.S. debtors must exercise their own due diligence to investigate and interview offshore companies that provide LLC management services. There are many reputable companies, but each person needs to take the time to interview companies who will have control over assets transferred to the Nevis LLC. You should not rely solely on referrals from your friends or your professional advisers in selecting an offshore manager for a Nevis LLC. You will find that the offshore manager will conduct more investigation and due diligence about you, the customer, than you will ever do about them. Offshore management companies are very careful about with whom they do business.
Asset management within a Nevis LLC is similar to discretionary financial accounts offered by most U.S. financial institutions. A discretionary account is when you, the client, appoint a financial entity to invest your money on your behalf. If you appoint a financial company as offshore manager of your Nevis LLC, the management company and its employees do not actually manage the LLC assets. Instead, the LLC manager hires a financial institution outside the U.S. in a discretionary capacity.
Just as is the case in U.S. discretionary accounts, you set the direction and limits of financial investment within a Nevis LLC. You can instruct the money manager about degree of risk, percentage of cash invested in either stock or bonds, amount of investment in U.S. or international equities, income tax strategies, and general risk appetite. The money manager of the Nevis LLC can send monthly statements and trade confirmations if requested.
A Nevis LLC may require filing of additional tax forms with the IRS. For example, a single member Nevis LLC must file IRS Form 8832 to be a "disregarded entity" although domestic LLCs are "disregarded for tax purposes by default." Although a Nevis LLC should have no effect on U.S. income tax, people should consult their CPA regarding the filing tax reporting forms after setting up a Nevis LLC.

While he stopped short of saying "we will make them an offer they can't refuse", we do have the Nokia Lumia 710 on T-Mobile launching Wednesday for $50 after rebate, and the upcoming Lumia 900 for AT&T, which will be "aggressively priced", both pretty different handsets.
We kid about the Don Korleone phrasing, but Mr Weber mentioned that Verizon is a very important partner, so we won't be surprised if a third, entirely different handset lands on Big Red at some point in the first half. And let's not forget about Sprint, which might surely follow once Nokia Windows Phones go the CDMA way.
Winning the carriers' hearts is a surefire way to enter the minds of American consumers, that's just how mobile business is done here, so it is intelligent and humble on Nokia's part to try and create a unique value proposition for each major carrier. Whether the effort will be successful remains to be seen, but the Lumia 900 and 710 are a good starting point in this strategy so far.

Twenty Lepta Keychain with Evil Eye 121028
Product Description
Twenty Lepta Keychain with Evil Eye 121028
Handmade in Greece using non-precious metals and stones
This keychain set brings back memories of the drahma days and the 20 lepta coin (the dekara as was known). The 20 lepta coin was one of the most memorable coins of Greece since it featured a hole in the middle. Minted in the 50's and 60's this coin was not of great monetary value but was used extensively in daily transactions since it could pay for a bus ride, a loaf of bread, or candy at the periptero. Finding one was considered a sign of good fortune and the coin was often used as a good luck charm.
The coins used on this set are replicas of the original coin and have no monetary or collectible value.

Send Your Taste Buds on a Southwestern Adventure
Navajo churro lamb cassoulet; bread pudding with prickly pear; shatteringly crisp, dark-blue Hopi piki bread with tepary-bean hummus. The Turquoise Room serves some of the most inventive Southwestern cuisine in the nation, drawing extensively on Native American ingredients and traditions. That's even more impressive given the restaurant's location: not in some urban foodie hotspot but alongside Route 66 in Winslow, Arizona, a few miles from Petrified Forest National Park. But then the Turquoise Room was never ordinary. It opened in 1929 as part of La Posada Hotel, perhaps the grandest of the Santa Fe Railway hotels designed by legendary architect Mary Colter. For the last decade, Allan Affeldt and his wife Tina Mion have been restoring this gracious Spanish Colonial hotel to its 1920s glory. They and chef John Sharpe have made La Posada's Turquoise Room a must-stop for anybody interested in great architecture and great regional food.

This modest offering from Brad Barr of The Barr Brothers on Remembrance/Veteran's Day is, in his words, "not a patriotic song, not a protest song, just a lament on how the simple things in life we take for granted every day have been, and continue to be, threatened and stripped away from others by the act of war. Its a soldier's story here, but it could be anybody's story. I feel deeply sorry for anyone who has had to endure the consequences of war, especially the innocents."
