All our DJs are local and perform in the Coolidge area. To find a dj or to "rent-a-dj", you've come to the right website! Our local Disc Jockeys are the best because you can meet with them to go over your plans prior to your event. Some even have professional offices where they can meet directly with you. They can even do an in-home meeting, even perhaps meet with you directly at the facility or venue in which you are having your event. We'd like to say that we have the "best djs for a Wedding or other event" but we will leave that up to you!
Whether it's a friend or relative's birthday, Bar Mitzvah, Quinceanera, graduation, anniversary, house warming or it's simply the middle of the holiday season, there's always a good reason to throw a party, and the trick to throwing a great party is to book the right entertainment. Here are some terrific tips to help you book the very best entertainment for your next party:
Tip #1 – Know What You Are Looking For - What type of event will you be hosting? How big is your event space? Will there be a dance floor or stage? Will this be a quiet, more sophisticated affair or a lively, disco style affair? How many guests will be in attendance? What languages will they speak? What cultural differences will they have? Will you have games, contests, karaoke, slideshow or video presentations, or even a photo booth? Carefully consider as much information about the nature of your event and the guests you are inviting and draw up as thorough a list of what you will need as possible.
Tip #2 – Be Honest About What You Can Afford – Taking into account the entire list of things you're looking for, draw up an entertainment budget. If you are unsure how much each of the services you're looking for might cost, simply conduct a bit of online research and try to determine a ballpark estimate of each item on your list.
Tip #3 – Seek Out a Talented Professional DJ – Why a DJ over a live band? Because they can deliver most everything you need for a fraction of the cost of hiring a live band and renting from separate business for all of your extras like uplighting or photo booths. Begin your search online by Googling reputable talent agencies that specialize in promoting mobile DJs in your town. Look for agencies with professional looking websites, that have been in business the longest as they are more likely to represent the most well-respected, highly sought after DJs working today. You will also want to make sure the website is designed in a manner that makes it quick and easy for you to narrow your search by date, location and price point so you'll have a general idea of what you can expect to spend on the services you require.
Tip #4 – Select at Least Two Candidates to Meet for an Interview – Once you've found a couple of promising DJs that can deliver the services you need at a price point that fits your budget, arrange to meet them in person. Meeting them in person will allow you to better gauge their personality and expertise. Plus, you can determine that they are in fact able to fulfill all of your needs at an affordable price. Ask for a quote and make sure they provide you with a list of past clients so you can call them for references.
Party planning is stressful enough on its own. Don't let booking your entertainment add to your burden. Follow these tips and you're guaranteed to book the very best in party entertainment!

Back in 2008 face-off expert Alex Smith squared off with IL's Terry Foy to put together an instructional piece on Alex Smith's go-to move, The Clamp. The story ran back in the August 2008 issue, so good we had to bring it back. Word on the street is Foy went 7 for 10 on the day.
At 5-11, 185-pounds, Smith doesn't seem like he should be able to stand up to some of the bigger draw takers in the MLL. Yet, "The Scientist" has used his freakish knowledge of all things face-off to catapult himself to the top of the MLL charts. Here, he shares his knowledge with you.
The Clamp
By Alex Smith as told to Terry Foy
Alex's Keys
The Posture
Set up with your elbows inside your knees and have your back slanted toward the ball, your right foot to the left of the head of the stick. This really helps you be explosive and light on your hands, as well as get low off of the whistle.
The Grip
I exclusively set up with the double overhand grip, or motorcycle grip. Find a table; push down on it with your palm, then turn your hand over and push down with the back of your hand. See the difference? The double over is more powerful in every aspect, and there is no move that can't translate from the traditional grip into the double over. Have your hands as high on the stick as the referee will allow.
The Step
The most important aspect of the step is maintaining your balance, so do what's most comfortable. One thing to keep in mind is that my stepping foot is a pivot foot, not a defensive maneuver. I step behind and outside the head of my stick; yes, it can block the ball if my opponent tries to push forward, but it's more beneficial there because I am in position to move the ball any direction I want. As for the pivot foot, make sure 80 percent of your weight on that right leg.
The Key:
Drive your left and right hand out as hard as you can. The double over technique allows you to punch out harder and use your right elbow to push the opponent's head into the ground. (Back in 2008 this was legal in college, the rules have since changed).
Inside Tip:
Look Out For The Cheat
This is a move that's been done to me often because I have a reputation as a clamper. What your opponent will do is slide his left hand up on the shaft, grab the head of your stick with his middle and index finger with his left hand under the head and his thumb over the stick head and pull it out back towards him. Thus, pushing the ball back behind him.

Non-invasive, quantitative analysis of drug mixtures in containers using spatially offset Raman spectroscopy (SORS) and multivariate statistical analysis
Olds, William J., Sundarajoo, Shankaran, Selby, Mark, Cletus, Biju, Fredericks, Peter M., & Izake, Emad L. (2012) Non-invasive, quantitative analysis of drug mixtures in containers using spatially offset Raman spectroscopy (SORS) and multivariate statistical analysis. Applied Spectroscopy, 66(5), pp. 530-537.
Manuscript and figures
(PDF 701kB)
Accepted Version.
In this paper, spatially offset Raman spectroscopy (SORS) is demonstrated for non-invasively investigating the composition of drug mixtures inside an opaque plastic container. The mixtures consisted of three components including a target drug (acetaminophen or phenylephrine hydrochloride) and two diluents (glucose and caffeine). The target drug concentrations ranged from 5% to 100%. After conducting SORS analysis to ascertain the Raman spectra of the concealed mixtures, principal component analysis (PCA) was performed on the SORS spectra to reveal trends within the data. Partial least squares (PLS) regression was used to construct models that predicted the concentration of each target drug, in the presence of the other two diluents. The PLS models were able to predict the concentration of acetaminophen in the validation samples with a root-mean-square error of prediction (RMSEP) of 3.8% and the concentration of phenylephrine hydrochloride with an RMSEP of 4.6%. This work demonstrates the potential of SORS, used in conjunction with multivariate statistical techniques, to perform non-invasive, quantitative analysis on mixtures inside opaque containers. This has applications for pharmaceutical analysis, such as monitoring the degradation of pharmaceutical products on the shelf, in forensic investigations of counterfeit drugs, and for the analysis of illicit drug mixtures which may contain multiple components.

Camera backpacks allow you to protect and comfortably carry lots of gear over extended periods of time – all while giving you fast access to everything you need. Whether you are a professional photographer going on a backcountry excursion or an eager beginner who wants to carry your camera and a laptop, Lowepro has a camera backpack that will protect your gear from anything life throws its way.
Knowing what subject(s) you will shoot is the first step in understanding which camera backpack is best for you. Different subjects bring a unique set of challenges and requirements for photographers. From exotic wildlife to children in the local park, your subject is going to be driving what lenses and gear you bring along with you on your shoot.
Street shooting demands mobility and fast access to your gear when the inspiration strikes. A photo pack with side access to your camera is usually the quickest backpack solution as you can reach your camera without fully removing or setting down your bag. The ProTactic 350 AW camera backpack provides access on BOTH sides of the bag as well as via the top turret and body-side access.
Keeping connected while you travel is also important. In Urban evnvironments WiFi connectivity has never been better. Backpacks that contain a dedicated compartment for a tablet or laptop, ensure these devices are also protected and available during travel. The Pro Runner BP 350 AW has designed space for up to 3 screen devices so you can bring your entire workflow with you.
Crowds and tight spaces such as subways and trains require you to stay nimble and move discreetly. Consider a slim urban-styled backpack design that doesn't stand out in a city environment like the StreetLine BP 250. The StreetLine Series is highly versatile, with a modern look that doesn't broadcast "camera bag" to thieves.
For more options, check out all of our street camera backpacks.
In the wild your subjects may be a shy and hard to reach. Getting close may not be physically possible, or could be dangerous to the photographer. In these situations, you might use long lenses, such as a 400mm or 500mm, which give you the reach to photograph subjects at a distance. These super-telephoto lenses are extremely large, heavy and require extra support for long treks. In this scenario, you should look for DSLR camera backpacks built for hiking and that can comfortably carry these large lenses. A camera backpack such as the Pro Trekker AW series. It includes a robust and adjustable harnesses and waistbelt, as well as outdoor-friendly features like a hydration reservoir to keep you hydrated on the go.
If you need to carry a super telephoto lens such as 600mm or 800mm lens, then the Lens Trekker 600 AW II is for you. These super-telephoto lenses are extremely large, heavy and require extra support for long treks into the wild.
Spending the day shooting in the outdoors means carrying more than just camera gear. When shooting landscape or nature photography look for a bag that has room for personal gear as well as your camera kit. The Flipside Trek Series strikes the perfect balance with room for clothes, water and food with plenty of external attachment points for tripods, trekking poles or even a solar panel.
When you are shooting adventure sports such as climbing, skiing and mountain biking you need to arrive at hard-to-reach locations with all the tools to support your shoot. Consider the need for equipment such as ice axes, skis & climbing ropes and how you will pack this gear in addition to your photo kit
Extreme environments call for a pack that was purpose-built for the weather and situations you are likely to encounter. Choose a camera backpack like the Whistler BP 350 AW that is built from abrasion resistant and waterproof materials. Look for features like a premium suspension system, room for back-country equipment and attachment points for anything from a tripod to a snowboard.
Adventure travel means bringin more than just camera gear. Lowepro's legendary build quality and attention to detail has been infused into the new HighLine Series adventure travel packs and roller. The HighLine (Roller) RL x450 AW is the perfect companion to the Whistler BP 450 AW and can even accomodate Whistler's removeable camera box to give you maximum versatility.
When touring or on vacation, you will need non-photo related gear in addition to your camera. Look for a camera bag like the Fastpack II which has a dedicated space to carry and protect your laptop, tablet and personal items in addition to a camera compartment. The flexibility of having dedicated space to protect your camera as well as your personal items allows you to adapt to how your day unfolds and prepare for the unexpected.
Sometimes you won't be carrying around your camera, so in these scenarios, look for a camera backpack that has a removable camera compartment such as the Photo Hatchback BP 250 AW. When you need more space, you can turn your camera backpack into an everyday bag. Check out all of our camera backpacks that have a removable camera compartment.
Traveling in the city? Looking for a more urban style? The StreetLine BP 250 is a hybrid backpack with a fold-away protective camera pocket that does not take up room in the bag when not in use.
The location and time frame for your shoot are additional criteria to consider when choosing the ideal camera backpack. If you are headed out for a multi-day backcountry excursion, you will need a larger camera backpack with options for carrying sleeping gear and food. For daytrips, a versatile bag that can easily carry a device like a tablet as well as enough personal space for a windbreaker, water bottle and a snack is preferable.
For day trips, look for a camera backpack with the flexibility to fit your camera gear, laptop or tablet, plus personal items. If you are looking for a flexible entry-level camera daypack, the Tahoe BP 150 is a great choice with. Inclement weather can bring potential danger to your gear. A camera backpack such as the Photo Hatchback BP 150 AW that includes a built-in weather barrier such as an All Weather AW Cover will protect your equipment from the elements. These camera backpacks both includes room for camera gear and personal items.
Explore lakes, oceans, rivers and waterfalls! If your daytrip takes you in or around a lot of water, look for a fully waterproof bag such as the DryZone BP 40L or DryZone 200. Waterproof backpacks are great for kayaking, canoeing, boating and any other trip where you need more extreme protection from mud, dust and water. For more basic protection from everyday weather and rain showers, check out all of our camera backpacks with a built-in rain cover.
Having the ability to carry sleeping pads, trekking poles and hydration reservoirs are all important things to look for in a backcountry camera backpack. Carrying all of this gear over long distances requires an advanced suspension system and the room to pack more than just your camera kit.
Camera backpacks such as the Whistler 450 have technical suspension systems to ease the carrying load and help evenly distribute weight. This pack also features room for all the extras you need to carry into the backcountry, plus multiple attachment points to customize what you carry out.
Another important feature for expedition backpacks is ability to separate your camera kit from the rest of your gear. Packs in the Whistler Series have a dedicated storage area with a waterproof barrier between wet gear and the camera box.
For more options, check out all of our outdoor camera backpacks.
Traveling with all your camera gear on an airplane can be stressful. You don't want to check in your gear, so finding a camera backpack that will fit in the carry-on compartment is a must. If you are traveling with a ton of gear, the trick is to find the size bag that will let you carry what you need, but still be small enough to carry on. Look for camera backpacks such as the ProTactic 350 AW that will fit in the overhead compartment, but also perform in the field.
Many of our backpack series have sizes that will fit on a plane. Universally accepted carry-on size for domestic flights is 22" x 14" x 9" or 55.88 x 35.56 x 22.86 cm with a carry-on weight limit of 40 pounds or 18.14 kilograms. Here are some photographer favorites that are travel friendly: Pro Runner BP 450 AW and the Pro Runner RL x450 AW which is both a backpack and a rolling case. As a precaution, it's always recommended to check with your specific airline for the most up-to-date weight and size restrictions before you travel.
See our full list of carry-on camera backpacks.
Do photography and outdoor sports go hand in hand for you? Will you be active on the trail, but don't want to leave your camera behind? Is a super-light carry a requirement for your sport? Take the camera backpack that is built for the activity as well as built to protect your gear. If you are looking at activities such as hiking, biking, or mountain climbing, check out the Photo Sport AW II series.
Are you heading out for the day to tour and find the perfect spots to shoot. Will you carry your camera in your pack but need fast access for when the perfect moment presents itself? Will you capture the image using a tripod while waiting for the perfect moment? Look for camera bags which offer carrying comfort, ability to carry a tripod and capacity to carry all the gear you may need. We recommend the high-capacity Photo Classic BP 300 AW.
Check out all of our camera backpacks that fit tripods.

I'm starting a small business with a friend and we want to have paperwork written up regarding our terms of partnership.
I agree with Mr. Duvall. I have litigated business owner disputes for 30 years. Many of these disputes could have been avoided had more thought gone into the operating agreement and/or the buy-sell agreement. Your partner is your friend. However, the friendship could sour or his could change through death, divorce, or sale. It is very important to create good documents which reflect your specific situation. Good luck!See question
He is from Mt. Can he win?
The answer to your question is very fact specific. Is the motor home "unsafe"? If so, did you know? Did you disclose or conceal the defect? Are you a dealer of motor homes? Is the MH repairable? When did the buyer discover the defect? Has he used it since? Do you have a contract with the buyer?
If the buyer sues you, you will need a lawyer. Good luck!

This is excerpted from one of my articles. I have more information posted on my website. You definitely need an attorney who specializes in shareholder disputes.
Owners with controlling interest have the ability to oppress minority stakeholders in a variety of ways and advance their own agendas. But many common types of shareholder or member oppression are grounds for legal action under the Michigan Business Corporation Act.
A few examples of actionable conduct include interfering with voting rights, withholding information or dividends, eliminating employment or benefits, self-dealing or conducting unfair business transactions with other companies they own, making loans with high interest rates to the company, snagging for themselves business opportunities in the company's line of business, voting for unreasonable compensation for themselves or making improper capital calls -- requesting funds from investors -- and other bad-faith maneuvers to dilute and freeze out minority ownership. Articles of incorporation, bylaws, and operating agreements are minority owners' first line of defense, and must be tailored to suit each situation. They can cover voting rights for electing directors and amending documents, powers and limitations of directors and managers, classes of ownership, and regulations for capital calls and dilution, and many other issues. Provisions controlling the transfer of stock also can be very important in protecting minority holders.Still, minority owners must know the business of the company by attending shareholder meetings, asking questions, and reviewing notices and documents. Shareholders have a statutory right to receive company balance sheets, income statements, and sources and application of funds.
Shareholders, their attorneys and agents also have a statutory right to inspect the company's list of shareholders, stock ledger, and other records related to their interests. And directors have the right to inspect any documents relevant to their position. If the company fails to provide such requested documents, the shareholder or director can bring a court action. The court will require the company to cover attorney's fees if the shareholder or director prevails, unless the company shows it acted on a good-faith belief that the demand was improper.
Directors and managers have a fiduciary duty to remain informed and recognize misconduct. And they are obligated to vote against any action they think is improper. Failing to oppose a potentially oppressive issue as a director could mean waiving the claim.
The Michigan Business Corporation Act permits a shareholder to sue if the acts of directors or others exercising control are "illegal, fraudulent, or willfully unfair and oppressive to the corporation or to the shareholder," which means "a continuing course of conduct or a significant action or series of actions that substantially interferes with the interests of the shareholder as a shareholder." This broad language in the statute could include almost any unfair activity, including termination or other limitations on benefits that disproportionately affect the shareholder; self-dealing; usurping corporate opportunities; or keeping information from minority owners. Actions specifically authorized by the articles of incorporation, bylaws, or consistently applied written policies or agreements, however, are not subject to court action.
Michigan's circuit courts have far-reaching powers to fashion a remedy. They can dissolve the company, order a buyout at a fair price, undo or prohibit unfair acts, and award damages and attorney's fees. But it's up to shareholders and members to ensure their legal rights are protected.
It is important to note the applicable statutes of limitation. Though some conflicting cases and circumstances exist, the statutes provide a 2-year limit for filing a suit when actionable wrongdoing is discovered or reasonably should have been discovered, or within three years of the occurrence of

You do not state whether this is a corporation or an llc, but shareholders and llc members have many rights under the Michigan Business Corporation Act. You have described a classic shareholder/member oppression scheme commonly referred to as a freeze out. The Business Corporation Act provides for remedies including economic damages, a buy-out of your interests at its true full value and more. You need a lawyer who specializes in this area. You might find this article helpful: . http://hjoelnewman.com/news-3.html. Good luck!See question

Generally speaking, no. However, if you received distributions from the corporation, he might be able to recover those amounts from you up to the amount of the outstanding indebtedness. This could include the land contract payments you reference. He would have to obtain a judgment against you personally to lien or attach your personal property. Assuming your house is an entireties property, he would need a judgment against you and your wife to assert a claim on the house. There could be defenses or liability that is not readily apparent from the limited facts you provide. Good luck!See question

It would take a review of the entire operating agreement and all other agreements of the members, as well as a review of the factual circumstances to know exactly what you can and cannot do. There is probably some mechanism, or at least a combination of provisions in your documents to accomplish an equitable buyout .
However, your questions suggest that you want to orchestrate a classic "freeze out", taking unfair advantage of the company and its minority member and diminishing the benefit and value of his interest. This would be a bad idea. It could constitute member oppression and a breach of your fiduciary duties. Michigan statutes give the courts broad remedies. The court could award damages and could order you to buy your partner out at a price set by the court and pay his attorneys' fees.
Your issues are too complex for this forum. You should consult with a business attorney. Good luck.

Descent into Chaos: The Doomed Expedition to Low's Gully
In early March 1994, five exhausted and starving members of a British Army expedition emerged from Low's Gully, a five-mile-long hell hole falling away from Mount Kinabalu in the jungles of Borneo. However, the achievement of the five - mostly fit and able young British non-commissioned officers - in being the first to conquer Low's Gully, was overshadowed by the fact that the other five members of the team, two relatively old and senior British officers as the leaders and three young novice Chinese storemen and guards serving under the British military in Hong Kong, were apparently still lost in the gully. What had gone wrong and why had the group broken the golden rule for such expeditions - never split up? The rescue attempt by Malaysian and British servicemen and local people became a daily feature in the newspapers and on television. Then the five, seemingly against the odds, were found alive. Shortly afterwards, one of the officers sold his story to the "Daily Mail". He publicly blamed the members of the first group to emerge for the debacle and also made an unprecedented attack on the Chinese soldiers. Yet, in important areas, the findings of the Board of Inquiry into the incident went against the officers, the Board taking the view that, in some respects, the leader's judgment and leadership were flawed. Richard Connaughton's search for the truth behind this story took him around the United Kingdom to Hong Kong and to Sabah, Eastern Malaysia. The result is a balanced account of what became the notorious descent into Low's Gully. Richard Connaughton is the author of "Celebration of Victory" and "Shrouded Secrets".

Seamless Multi-Channel Experiences and The Dynamic Social Web
Nellymoser's John Puterbaugh talks to PSFK in anticipation of his upcoming presentation at our Future of Mobile Marketing Salon in Austin.
For our upcoming PSFK SALON at SXSW this year, we've invited John Puterbaugh to discuss the future of mobile tagging. John is the CEO of Nellymoser. Here are a few questions we asked him in preparation for the event.
What is the most exciting or interesting challenge that Nellymoser is addressing right now?
Mobile seems to be the true connector in tying together print media and online (social). We are focused on mobile engagement and how to create a seamless multi-channel experiences (print -> mobile -> social …). As an example of print->mobile->social, we just launched Mobile Tagging in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue which contains that ability to view video playlists, vote and share the videos via Facebook, Twitter and email. We are also making mobile videos interactive, shoppable and social for the retail space.
What other projects are currently inspiring your work?
We are inspired by the high quality, rich design tradition coming from print media and the ability to leverage it using the mobile phone and Tagging to harness the rich, interactive and dynamic social web.
What emerging trend, idea, or technology are you excited to see develop in the future?
The ability for mobile tagging to truly be a localized, rich interactive form of engagement and direct response. We believe Mobile Tagging (in particular) and Action Codes (in general) will become a rapid way to rapidly use your phone to engage: scan to check-in, scan to buy, scan to vote, scan to share, etc.
Where will mobile tagging be in five years?
We see Mobile Tagging as part of a larger continuum of action codes that started with SMS short codes and will include not only 2D barcodes like Microsoft Tag but also watermarking, image recognition and NFC – all vehicles / symbologies to utilize the phone as a direct vehicle mobile engagement.

When people think 'solo travel on a group trip', they picture sitting alone while six couples snog around them and sing 'God Only Knows' by The Beach Boys. But it's not really like that. Most Geckos' travellers decide to roll solo. It's pretty standard, and third-wheeling with a bunch of couples isn't really what it's about.
Travelling alone on a group adventure means a) you get a ready-made crew of future besties, b) a local leader to stop you getting lost and feeling all scared inside and c) the option of picking your own room. So you can snore to your heart's content. Pretty sweet, right?
Perks of solo travel
Friends for life
Independence is good and all, but sometimes it's nice to have a crew that's got your back. No need to stand looking lost in the middle of Trafalgar Square – you'll be eating mushy peas and playing pool at a little pub around the corner. No more struggling to make friends on the road (proper ones, that you know the names of and stuff). After four days on the Inca Trail or catching the Eurail, you'll wonder why you ever wanted to go it alone.
A local leader
It's hard to appreciate what a local can do for your adventures before you've met one. But think of it like this. While the solo travellers in the hostel go out on the typical pub crawl and hit up the BA tourist bars, you'll be swigging Malbec with some Argentine locals at a little backstreet bodega you never knew existed. Local leaders can help you avoid getting scammed, introduce you to fellow locals and help you navigate the Tokyo subway system (very, very handy).
Food, glorious food
It's so easy when you're travelling alone to stick to the easy food places. The ones with the crowds and the English menus and (let's face it) the Big Macs. We get it. It's hard to know where to get when you land in a big city. But with a group and a local leader you'll never eat generic again. We're talking hot pierogies in Krakow, the freshest Pisco Sours in Cuzco and spicy Thai stir-fry straight from the street stalls (the ones that won't give you gastro). Play it safe no longer, solo travellers. This is group travel.
Flexible, like a gymnast
The one big reason people travel solo is independence. And some folks think that group travel kind of ruins that. But we disagree. Our itineraries are designed so that, if you want to go solo and find your own way, you can. There's heaps of optional activities that you can add-on to your trip, or just wander the backstreets and pick up some cool souvenirs instead. A bit of group time, a bit of you time – that's a balance everyone can get behind. Plus if you want a single supplement (i.e. a room all to yourself) we can arrange that too for a small extra charge. You lone wolf, you.
Commandments for solo travel
If God was gonna hit you up with some advice for flying solo, this would be it. Does anyone have some lead slabs handy?
Thou shalt copy your documents
Always a good one. Make copies of your passport, itinerary, emergency contact details and insurance and email them to yourself. Email them to your friends and to Mum too (she'll only worry otherwise).
Thou shalt leave the diamonds at home
Diamonds. Rubies. Valuable gold bullion. It's probably best not to lug this stuff around with you. Accidents happen. Particularly in touristy areas. Try not to make yourself a pickpocket target (dorky stomach money pouch optional).
Thou shalt know your taxi fares
Don't get taken for a ride (see what we did there? Ah….moving on). Do a bit of research if you know you're going to taxi from the airport. If the web says it should cost $50, and this guy's charging you $150 up front, switch cabs.
Thou shalt leave an obnoxious social media trail
Social Media may be the doom of mankind, but it's got its uses. For one thing, it lets everyone back home know what you're doing at any one time. So go on. Selfie like there's no tomorrow. If anyone asks, it's just common sense.
Thou shalt be confident like Beyoncé
Half of all solo travel is just blending in. It's much harder to blend in with a big folding map and tears running down your face. Take a deep breath, carry on, and remember, you're on holiday, enjoy it.
Best trips for solo travel
We crunched the numbers and did some other things with data. (It involved calculators, all right?) These are our top-selling trips for solo travellers. You're more likely than not to be adventuring with people just like you: the strong, mysterious and attractive, Lone Wolf types.

Motan Inc., Plainwell, Mich., is the newest supplier of screenless beside-the-press granulators. Its Twincut dual-rotor line uses a two-stage cutting action: First, large hook-shaped rotor blades on the upper rotor pull sprues and parts into the cutting chamber and provide a coarse chopping action. Then, finer teeth on the lower rotor reduce the particle size further. This action is said to produce uniform, dust-free chips without the need for a screen. Cleanout and maintenance are said to be easy, thanks to side plates that swing up, exposing the whole cutting chamber. Three sizes range from the TC 68 (6 x 8 in. cutting chamber) for presses up to 50 tons and grinding up to 12 lb/hr, to the TC 1517 (15 x 17 in.) for presses up to 500 tons and up to 65 lb/hr.

The Role of the WTT Leader
The role of our tour leader is critical when the group is made up of women meeting for the first time, are traveling to a location they are unfamiliar with, where you may not speak the language, or know the customs. The WTT Tour Leader is a part of your group. She is there to look out for your safety, to help resolve issues, and to make sure you get what you want from your vacation. During unstructured free time, the WTT Tour Leader will make sure that everyone who wants company has it, including dinners when no group meal is scheduled.
The Role of Local Guides
In addition to the WTT tour leader, local guides join the group for walking tours, give cooking classes, do lectures on specific topics, or in some cases, accompany the group as we travel through multiple countries. WTT tour leader works closely with the local guides to insure the right combination of pace, information, and duration specific to the women in that group is provided.
The Importance of Travel Insurance
Travel Insurance is an important service offered by Women Traveling Together. Travel is an investment in a future event and travel insurance protects that investment. You will receive two travel insurance brochures with your confirmation package to review. If you have any questions about what travel insurance does and does not cover, please call the numbers listed on the brochures.
Tour Activity Ratings
We want you to be able to handle the activities on a tour, not only for your enjoyment of the trip, but because of the impact on the group as a whole. Our tours are designed so that a woman in reasonable shape and health and with no mobility issues could do almost every tour. All tours require walking, standing, climbing stairs, and getting on and off transportation. The activity levels are fully explained on the following page:
Activity Levels Explained
Is WTT a good fit for you?
Our tours are as much about the friendships made along the way as it is about the destination and the sights. Simply put, if you are enjoy the company of women and all that entails: Sharing, laughter, support, some silliness, some seriousness, but always respectfulness, then you will enjoy a WTT tour. The odds are also very good that you will make some good friends, stay in touch, and travel again with WTT. If, on the other hand, you need to be in charge, can't relax, find people interaction annoying, and are fearful of new experiences, then you will not enjoy a WTT tour.

You can create a cron job to utilize mysqldump in order to create a database backup.
A few notes on the following script:
- dumps a database in the format "yourusername_mm-dd-yyyy.sql" to the directory "/home/username/backup/".
- assumes that all the included databases run on the same host, and use the same user.
- has been tested on large MySQL databases (600MB+), and has worked very well.
In the script below, you must fill in the first six variables, namely: "domains", "sqldbs", "opath", "mysqlhost", "username", and "password". Then, simply copy and paste it into cron.
In the following example, the opath variable points to $HOME/backup/. Make sure you have created this backup directory first before proceeding.
domains=( example.com example2.com ) sqldbs=( yourdb1 yourdb2 ) opath=$HOME/backup/ mysqlhost=mysqlhostname username=mysqlusername password=mysqlpassword suffix=$(date +%m-%d-%Y) for (( i = 0 ; i < ${#domains[@]} ; i++ )) do cpath=$opath${domains[$i]} if [ -d $cpath ] then filler="just some action to prevent syntax error" else echo Creating $cpath mkdir -p $cpath fi mysqldump -c -h $mysqlhost --user $username --password=$password ${sqldbs[$i]} > ${cpath}/${sqldbs[$i]}_$suffix.sql done
Couldn't execute 'SET OPTION SQL_QUOTE_SHOW_CREATE=1'
When running mysqldump, you may see the following error message:
mysqldump: Couldn't execute 'SET OPTION SQL_QUOTE_SHOW_CREATE=1': You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'OPTION SQL_QUOTE_SHOW_CREATE=1' at line 1 (1064)
This means your mysqldump version is too old compared to your MySQL server version.
To update your mysqldump version, you'll have to compile a new version of MySQL (which first requires compiling dependencies such as cmake).
Any commands that require root/sudo access can only be ran on a Dedicated server. Please note that DreamHost support is unable to assist with any such custom changes to a server. Be prepared to troubleshoot any installation errors yourself.

David Whitaker, candidate for the US House of Representatives in the Third District of Arkansas, called today for the Obama administration and congressional leaders to extend tax cuts for middle-class Americans and roll back those for the very wealthy.
"It's time for us to get our priorities straight, and the economic focus back on the middle class," Whitaker said. "We've got to reign in our budget and make sure that small businesses and the people that drive job creation are the focus, not millionaires.
The original legislation passed nearly ten years ago under President Bush provided that these tax cuts, instituted during a time of record budgetary surpluses, would automatically expire this year unless extended, so that legislators could revisit the fiscal prudence of their continued existence.
"It's obvious that with record deficits, we have to make hard decisions. I fully support retaining the tax cuts for middle-class Americas, but when it comes to tax breaks for the rich, we've got to say enough is enough," Whitaker said.
Whitaker favors a proposal to extend tax rate reductions beyond this year for the middle income brackets, where the vast majority of Arkansans fall, while allowing only the highest earning category to revert to its former rate. Extending this tax cut for the wealthy beyond 2010 would unnecessarily jeopardize the welfare of future generations of Americans, and further constrain the federal treasury from meeting its existing obligations.
"Less than two percent of Arkansas households will be affected by this change, and it's time that we prioritize middle-class families and small-business owners." Whitaker continued, "In my Congressional office, we're always going to put working families first. Contrast that with my opponent, who will go to bat every day for his millionaire friends that write his campaign checks."
"My opponent seems to think that all small business owners rich. More than 98% of all small business-owners fall into tax brackets that would keep their tax breaks under this plan. We're on their side - our opponent is on the side of the very rich.," Whitaker explained.
Allowing the highest income tax bracket to revert to the pre-2000 levels, when this nation enjoyed its largest expansion and job growth in decades, would still result in the lowest marginal tax rate for the highest earning Americans since 1993.
"Reducing this tax cut for the wealthiest Americans means they might not get to buy a second home or take a third vacation. For middle-class Americans, these tax breaks mean the difference between making the mortgage payment or picking up a second or third job," Whitaker said.
"I know who I'm going to work for in Washington.

So I can't seem to push myself to try a mouse or gel for volume, (in the past they've dried out my hair), but I have added some bis-aminopropyl dimethicone by way of HETT and HENOYF, (build is not so much an issue). I get great volume with a smidge of coneyness! I have also started applying my LI/oil upside down in the shower and my curls are loving me for it. My hair feels so light with some volume

Indiegogo campaign helps give visibility to activists who oppose construction of restaurant in Tecoma.
Residents opposed to the building of a McDonald's restaurant in Melbourne's East are taking their protest to the US after launching a crowdfunding campaign.
The protesters are raising money to pay for one person to hand a petition, which now has 84,000 signatures, to the McDonald's head office in Chicago.
The money will also pay for ads in the Chicago Tribune newspaper and on US breakfast television that will attack the fast food chain's decision to push ahead with a 24-hour drive-through restaurant in the small town of Tecoma, which nestles in the foothills of the Dandenong ranges in Victoria.
Garry Muratore, spokesman for the Burger Off (http://www.burgeroff.org) protest group, told Guardian Australia it had raised more than $20,000 less than a day after launching the funding drive.
"The crowd-funding platform Indiegogo got in touch with us and we are now putting together a media plan," he said. "This really is a David v Goliath battle. We hope to go over to the US and talk about corporate governance and shown how undemocratic McDonald's have been."
Protesters are unhappy that McDonald's obtained a court order overturning a council decision to block the restaurant. A lengthy standoff on the site was broken last week by more than 50 police officers, who removed people from the roof of a building earmarked to be removed for the restaurant.
Muratore said a survey of every household in Tecoma showed that 92% of residents were against the restaurant, citing concerns that it would be too close to a school and would create noise, extra traffic and litter.
"McDonald's has behaved reprehensively, taking court action against protesters and spying on them," he said.
"They love to keep things in court because they can always win those battles but they don't like things being in the court of opinion. There's a universal feeling in Tecoma that people detest the way they've behaved over this."
A spokeswoman for McDonald's said: "We have followed due process every step of the way to build a family restaurant on a highway that houses a number of food and service outlets. The area is appropriately zoned and we have an approved planning permit.
"We have a great franchisee from the area who is about to create 100 local jobs, provide accredited training and work experience. We're ready to get on with it and know there is much support from within the community."

The infamous curbs of Martinsville Speedway will be pink again this year. NASCAR driver Cale Gale helped by lending a hand as the track raises awareness for breast cancer.On Thursday October 11, NASCAR Truck Series Driver Cale Gale helped breast cancer survivors paint the curbs pink at the smalled track on the schedule."To come up here and obviously have the curves in Martinsville, working with Rheem to have it is going to be that much more special," Gale said."It gives you that little bit of extra drive when you strap in.""This is just helping all of us survivors know that we don't have any fear because if it comes back, and we hope it doesn't, we won't have to worry about it anymore," said breast cancer survivor Carole McGovern.Gale will compete in the Camping World Truck Series race at the track on October 27 driving a pink truck. He also drove a pink truck at Talladega. The 27 year-old Gale is currently 12th in the overall driver standings.

The laboured assault on civil liberties
"[The rule of law] has been invoked down the ages in the face of oppressive government legislation, but it seems to have been forgotten altogether under this shameless government. Not much evidence that David Blunkett, the author of the Criminal Justice Act 2003, had ever heard of such a concept, much less tried to square his proposals with it. But then, if you prepare your criminal legislation on the basis of the law and order agenda of the editors of the Daily Mail and the Sun, you are bound to find you have drifted far from the port of the rule of law." —Mark George QC

Je ne regrette Iraq
"There is a planet, some way removed from the real one, on which Tony Blair lives. He invited the Chilcot inquiry to join him on it yesterday. On this alternative earth, certainties dissolve and falsehoods become truths. Facts are transformed into opinions and judgments turn into evidence. Success and failure are both the same. On this strange planet, the invasion of Iraq was not a disaster, but a necessary and even heroic act. Other witnesses to Chilcot have admitted error. Mr Blair simply said he would invade Iraq all over again." —The Guardian

Hillary Clinton on Internet freedom
The US Secretary of State has issued a ringing declaration of the "freedom to connect" in her speech today. I'll try and dig up links later to the interviews I've done on this for the World Service and BBC News, but here's what I told Index on Censorship:
Hillary Clinton's support for online freedom is welcome. I hope it leads to a push for Internet companies to make that freedom meaningful. Microsoft, Yahoo!, Cisco and others can all do much more to protect the privacy and free speech of Internet users around the world. Search engines should join Google in refusing to provide censored results. Webmail providers should store messages and account information out of reach of repressive regimes. Infrastructure companies should refuse to sell "surveillance-ready" Internet routers to countries such as China and Iran.
At the same time, democracies should be careful of their own online freedoms. The US and UK both require Internet Service Providers to enable real-time interception on their networks. The UK government has strong-armed ISPs into blocking access to web pages on a secret list of alleged child pornography, including last year a Wikipedia entry. European ISPs are required to log information about their customers' online activity — which in the UK is accessible without a warrant to hundreds of central and local government agencies. We should hardly be surprised when repressive governments follow our own example.
You can also read a preprint of a much longer article I've written on Internet self-regulation and fundamental rights.
UPDATE: Bruce Schneier writes: "Whether the eavesdroppers are the good guys or the bad guys, these systems put us all at greater risk. Communications systems that have no inherent eavesdropping capabilities are more secure than systems with those capabilities built in. And it's bad civic hygiene to build technologies that could someday be used to facilitate a police state."

Sanity v the war on terror
"After spending hundreds of billions of dollars and imprisoning millions of people, it's slowly beginning to become possible for some politicians to admit that fighting a necessarily endless drug war in pursuit of an impossible goal might be a bad idea.

The politics of fear
"A risk that is completely dwarfed by numerous others — the risk of death from Islamic Terrorism — dominates our discourse, paralyzes us with fear, leads us to destroy our economic security and eradicate countless lives in more and more foreign wars, and causes us to beg and plead and demand that our political leaders invade more of our privacy, seize more of our freedom, and radically alter the system of government we were supposed to have. The one thing we don't do is ask whether we ourselves are doing anything to fuel this problem and whether we should stop doing it. As [John] Adams said: fear 'renders men in whose breasts it predominates so stupid and miserable.'" —Glenn Greenwald

True or false? When you have cochlear implant surgery, a lot of your hair is shaved off, a big hole is cut in your scalp, they put in the device and after they close up the hole, wires stick out through your scalp.

False.

Today's cochlear implant surgery is a relatively minor operation of just a few hours. Children who have had the surgery have been known to go home immediately afterward, playing normally with minimal post-surgical effects. The surgery has the same normal risks associated with any surgery, and serious complications are rare. Meningitis has been shown to be a risk, and patients should take steps to reduce that risk, such as being vaccinated. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offers suggestions for reducing the risk of meningitis on their website.

Prior to Surgery

The implant candidate is anesthetized with a general anesthesia.

Preparing for Operation

Some hair is shaved off where the surgery will be done. This is usually a small amount of hair. The area shaved is behind the ear.

Making the Cut

An incision is made and the skin and tissue flap is lifted so that the surgeon can drill into the skull bone behind the ear. A receiver is placed into the drilled-out area and an electrode array is inserted into the cochlea.

Closing Up

The surgical area is closed up with stitches (a small permanent scar may result) and the head is bandaged.

After Surgery

Depending on the length of the surgery and other factors, the patient may either be sent home shortly after surgery or have to stay in the hospital for a short while.

Recovery Period

During the recuperation from the surgery, there may be minimal side effects such as temporary swelling. Side effects are minor if they do occur and are generally temporary: pain, changes in taste, dizziness, inflammation, bleeding, etc.

My Own Cochlear Implant Surgery

I received a cochlear implant myself in early 2008. I described the surgery experience in the article Cochlear Implants - My Cochlear Implant Story.

|ActoGeniX closes EUR 10.7 million financing round
18/04/2013 - ActoGeniX, a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company, successfully closed a Series B equity financing round, raising EUR 10.7 million (USD 14 million). This financing round was led by new investor Saffelberg Investments (Belgium). ActoGeniX's founders and current investors all participated in this transaction, thus confirming their commitment to the strategic roadmap.
This financing round will allow ActoGeniX to execute its business strategy and fund ongoing and planned development programs.
ActoGeniX focuses on the development and commercialization of ActoBiotics, a novel class of orally administered and locally acting biopharmaceuticals. ActoBiotics represent a novel concept for oral administration of therapeutic proteins, and are designed to be safer and more effective than injectable biopharmaceuticals.
ActoGeniX is developing ActoBiotics in mucosal and immune diseases such as oral mucositis, inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, and type 1 diabetes.
Dr. Bernard Coulie, CEO of ActoGeniX, comments: "We are delighted with this financing, accomplished in a challenging market environment. It provides ActoGeniX with sufficient funding to execute its ambitious business plan. It will enable us to progress our pipeline including bringing key products to clinical proof of concept."
Dr. Staf Van Reet, Chairman of the Board of ActoGeniX, adds: "To have raised such a substantial amount of new equity capital during these times is a clear vote of confidence in ActoGeniX´s promising platform and pipeline. It provides ActoGeniX with a far stronger position when presenting its platform and pipeline to potential pharma partners."
