The Bulletin Board
8th June 2009: Character Infobox Update
Just a quick note to say some additional fields were added to the character infobox on the weekend. You can see what's what on a new table on the How to Contribute page. I've updated the older pages.

7th May 2009: Attack of the Spammers
The original idea behind the bulletin board was for fans to post info related to the community here. But the wiki hasn't reached critical mass for that to happen yet, and in the meantime there have been quite a few malicious attacks on the board. For some reason spammers are stupid enough to think that just because this is called a bulletin board people will take any more notice of their rubbish. So, while the wiki's user base is still gradually increasing the board is going under protection, which means admin access only. Not what I want, but once the community here is larger and more resilient we can open things up again. For now I'd recommend using the forum as a place to post and make suggestions.
Also a quick thanks to the wikia staff and helpers that have been deleting some of the spam.
--Botcherby 21:20, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
28th April 2009: Simplified Categories
Some of the categories were unnecessarily long. So categories like 'Fanon Doctors', 'Fanon Companions', and 'Fanon Villains' have been changed to Doctors, Companions, and Villains. There's no need to seperate out things that originated from the TV series and fanon creations. It will only make it harder to browse the site. For all non original things references and links to the TARDIS Index Files Wikia should be made, as is already happening.
The deleted categories still seem to show up in the suggestion list when using the buttons to add categories. I'll see if that can be fixed or not.
- Update: Wikia have sorted the category suggestions problem. All is good.--Botcherby 00:38, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
5th March 2009: Forum
A link to the wiki forum has been added to the front page, and the side navigation bar under Community. People with more of a background in forums will probably find it quicker to check and use, than having to look out for discussion page edits (I know I will). Basically each new topic is an editable page. So remember to sign your name when adding a post (with four of these ~ ). The bonus is having a list of topics, making it good for suggestions and long running ideas or projects. Plus any feedback.

4th Oct 2008: Update
Well it's been a while since I last made an entry here. Things are chaotic at home right now, what with the current state of the economy and all here in the States. But I haven't forgotten about this place and it's great to see you haven't either. The community continues to build. We have reached 207 articles in less than 2 months. Keep the coming and thanks for all your support. It's great to know that Doctor Who still inspires 50 years on from it's first broadcast. Keep up the good work, and remember, this wiki would be nothing without your support.
14th Aug 2008: Update
As you can see the wiki grows and grows, thanks in no small part to Botcherby who has slaved endlessly on improving layout and listing the Audio Productions page. He has also mastered the code far better than I could have had the patience for. So a big hand should go to him for the hard work already bought to this page. I just want to remind you that this is your Wiki, not mine and you are more than welcome to add to the growing universe of Doctor Who Fanon.
7th Aug 2008 Children in Need Challenge
Doctor who has long been associated with the BBC's annual Children in Need appeal. Producing 5 - 10 minute stories or sketches like last years Time Crash, where 10th Doctor David Tennant met his 5th persona Peter Davison. But you all knew that.
The Doctor Who Audio Dramas team are planning their own short story in support of this years Children in Need, and have asked other producers to join in. A couple have already declared an interest, and if you've ever fancied the idea of making one yourself, this would be a good place to start.
All you need to do is make a short audio drama ready for release on 14th November 2008. Wherever you choose to release it, use the space to promote Children in Need (link to their website for donations). Or mention them in the audios spoken credits. Or even add a Children in Need theme to your story.
If you want to chat about this more, there is a thread in The Doctor Who Forum (http://www.doctorwhoforum.com/ fan audio and video section) - you'll need to join. Or you could ask in the DWAD forum.
Good luck, and don't forget to mention any releases to Botcherby's (in advance) so they can all be mentioned together on release day. If you want any advice on hosting etc then ask away too. Contact me via botcherbys at googlemail dot com.

Wizards sign former Magic guard Stevenson
By Chad Ford
Free agent DeShawn Stevenson Deagreed to terms with the Washington Wizards on Thursday, his agent, Mark Bartelstein told ESPN.com.
According to Bartelstein, Stevenson agreed to a two-year contract worth the NBA minimum salary. Since he has six-plus years of service, that would be $932,015 for the first year. Stevenson has a player option in the second year of the contract.
The deal is a pretty big blow to Stevenson financially. He opted out of a contract this spring that would have paid him $3 million and then turned down a three-year, $10 million contract from the Magic in early July.
Stevenson then changed agents and agreed to the deal with the Wizards.
"There just isn't much money left out there," Bartelstein said.
"This gives DeShawn an excellent opportunity to play significant minutes on a very good team. I think by next summer, the rest of the league will see his real value and he'll earn back the money he lost."
The next big step for the Wizards will be deciding whether to match the Knicks' offer sheet to restricted free agent Jared Jeffries.
The Knicks made Jeffries a five-year, $30 million offer that the Wizards have until Monday to match. Several sources familiar with the Wizards' thinking believe that they are leaning against matching the offer due to luxury tax concerns. Matching the Knicks offer would put the Wizards over the luxury tax threshold.
Wow not a smart move leaving Orlando's offer on the table
Good for the Wiz though. Looks like he may opt out though after next year and try and get a bigger payday.

The teen bride is spotted being wheeled out of the hospital after getting her brand new DD saline breast.
Courtney Stodden is no longer "100% surgery free," like she previously claimed when having an ultrasound on national television last year. She has just got a breast augmentation surgery and was recently spotted leaving a hospital after getting the procedure done.
Stodden went under the knife for bigger double D boobs. Wearing a pink sweat, the teen bride was accompanied by her husband, "The Green Mile" actor Doug Hutchison. Looking tired and in pain, she was pictured being wheeled out of the hospital by a nurse.
"My results are looking incredible and very sexy," 18-year-old Sodden said in a statement obtained by E! News about her recent breast augmentation surgery. "Looking forward to slipping into a bikini. . .or out of it!"

Pregnant Woman Craves Roadkill
My wife has been pregnant twice. Her cravings were never all that strange to me. They went from spaghetti to greek food. It was all stuff that I could enjoy with her…and I definitely did! But this craving is a little mit more extravagant.
According to The NY Daily News, professional taxidermist Alison Brierley has had cravings to eat the animals that she normally makes jewelry from…but these ones are found on the side of the road.
"Usually, I eat really healthily, but now I'm pregnant I get strong cravings for roadkill,"
Yep…roadkill. Doesn't sound safe does it? I mean, I've seen Bear Grylls eat animals that have been dead for a day or two but this is a pregnant woman who has another life at her mercy.
She says her first experience with roadkill came after she found a 'perfectly good' pheasant at the side of the road that she marinated in olive oil for a couple days.
Read the whole story here.

Mountain Park Senior Living will be offering a nearly free support group service for local family members who are providing assisted living care to a loved one.
The six-week class begins July 31 and is open to the public. Each week during the two-hour session, participants will receive a lesson in the different aspects, including emotional guidance and how to manage the stress of caregiving to a family member.
April Leathers, outreach coordinator for Mountain Park, said she has seen how taking care of a loved one can affect people, and said that one of the best remedies is to talk about it with others who are going through the same thing.
"This will be a good group to know they are not alone and these emotions they are having, other people are having them as well," Leathers said. "They can feel guilty for getting angry when, say, their husband who has Alzheimer's asks the same question every five minutes. It's really good to open up to other people about what they are going through."
They use materials called Powerful Tools for Caregivers, and the $5 fee goes toward the book that accompanies the lessons throughout the course.
Leathers said they have listened to the needs of caregivers in the community and have designed the program around those needs to make it a fully comprehensive experience. They have been speaking with the local community organization, Connecting to Serve, and looking at the YOPAS (Outreach Program for Ahwatukee Seniors) program in an effort to bring something new as a support group for seniors, Leathers said.
The course is open to the community and anyone who can benefit from such a support group. Caregivers and those they are supporting are both invited.
The class will begin on Tuesday, July 31 at Mountain Park Senior Living, 4475 E. Knox Road. To find out more or to RSVP, call (480) 619-5492.

Rarely do we see Puri Jagannath missing the target. He is known as a brisk film maker who finalizes the release date much before taking a project actually on sets. In fact, Puri changed the face of Tollywood introducing new trends in heroism and new style sin making. However, his next release of 'iddarammayilatho' which was actually planned to hit the screens on 24th of this month is now pushed to 31st.
When tried to find the exact reason behind such delay, we heard that background score and re-recording of Devi Sri Prasad is taking a little more time. Everything is for the sake of best output and Puri does not want to compromise before taking the final product out. The stylish taking and suave look of Bunny with Amala Paul and Cathrine in female leads, we need to keep the wait extended for one more week.

Nova, he says, has instead relied on careful research before the station was launched, which found that Melbourne listeners wanted four simple things.
Bradley borrows from politicalspeak to characterise them as ``core values'' - and here they are.
Number 1: No more than two advertisements in a row.
Number 2: Mute button on. ``Melbourne radio talks their arse off,'' says Bradley. ``There is a desire that they actually shut up a bit.''
Number 3: No ``cheezy'' radio promotions.
Number 4: A playlist that offers music contrast. (One industry observer dubbed this the ``traincrash approach'').
· ``Eddie Everywhere'', they call him, and they're certainly not wrong. Our ears did not deceive us; yes, media man-about-town Eddie McGuire popped up recently on Joy FM, the new community station dedicated to Melbourne's gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender population.
He was - predictably enough - flogging Collingwood football.
· Joy (94.9 FM) is also home to another familiar media name. Helen Razer, the onetime enfant terrible of Triple J, is now programming Joy in Melbourne. Razer, 33, had been engaged in an Internet radio venture called Digital One, but she tells us she felt the siren call of the traditional wireless again. ``Radio is my first love,'' she says.
With the executive title of program manager, it seems she's no longer an enfant terrible, either. Razer is part of a staff that includes ``four-and-a-bit'' paid employees and about 200 volunteers.
``Generally speaking, it's joyous,'' says Razer, who started the gig in April.
· Terry Laidler left the station formerly known as 3LO to head up RMIT's Circuit (that's shorthand for the Centre for International Research in Communications and Information Technology). However, the ambitious venture to study the social impact of new media is winding up because of a lack of funding.
Laidler, who remain president of Friends of the ABC in Victoria and occasionally fills in on 3AK, says he has no interest in returning more permanently to radio. ``I'm not interested in daily production deadlines,'' he says.
Laidler is hoping to be redeployed within RMIT or to do consulting work.
· Community radio station 3CR launched its annual radiothon this week. It finishes on Sunday and donations can be made on 9419 8377. This year, in a conjunction of radio and politics, 10 per cent of the kitty will go to causes supporting asylum seekers and refugees.

Dachshund's blindness doesn't slow him down
Here's a quick video update on Ace's old neighborhood walking buddy, Frank, who went blind a couple of months ago from diabetes.
When first they met, the dachsund's only problem was being a bit overweight. With exercise and dieting he was trimming down nicely when he was diagnosed with diabetes and, almost overnight, lost his eyesight.
That made him a little hesitant, especially when he was outside, and wary about taking that next step — but only for a few days.
Now, he he tears up the nature trail when he comes over my way for a visit. And, as you can see from this outing to a soccer field, recorded by his owner, he bounds as much as he ever did, if not more. These days, he doesn't hesitate to go full speed ahead, even when he's not sure what's ahead.

If a couple has a baby, do they pic up the phone or post it to Facebook? If a family gets a new pet, are they going to email you a pic or post it on Facebook? You may not be apart of the crowd that does this, (Yet!) but our society is changing they way they communicate! Most young people consider it more efficient and more respectful to communicate via text message, Facebook and Twitter. They want to BROADCAST their message instead of one on one.
Think about it for a second. How long does it take to read 1 text or post? 10 seconds? How long does a phone conversation? Just the intro "Hey tom this is chad, how are you?" takes longer than 10 seconds! Young people know this and are opting to tell people about their lives on one of these "broadcast platforms"
Chad Gleaves and Penny Nash of www.penelopepiscopal.blogspot.com came to the conclusion that there has to be a mentality change for some of the older Pastors or Ministers in Churches.
In times past, it was customary for members of a congregation to pick up the phone and call their Pastors or Ministers to share news or information about themselves. Now, although the elder members still may call, the younger generations have more or less recognized that it is more respectful of another person's time to send text messages or use Facebook rather than calling them over the phone.
People are taking a more casual approach to communicate with their Pastors, Ministers or church co-members. Lets just admit it! Sending a text messages or postings on Facebook or sending e-mail are simply more efficient! So as pastors and ministers we need to meet our congregation where they are and communicate with them in ways they feel comfortable.

Veteran crooner Barry Manilow is hoping to educate British fans on the history of American songwriters after he was asked to curate a ten-hour radio broadcast for the BBC.
The "Mandy" hitmaker, Barry Manilow is overseeing ten one-hour shows on the network's Radio 2 and is focusing on legendary 20th century U.S. tunesmiths including George Gershwin and Leonard Bernstein.
And he's hoping to use the shows, titled "They Write The Songs", to introduce younger Brits to the great songwriters by deconstructing their tracks on piano during the broadcasts.
Manilow tells Britain's Live magazine. "It's a project that means more to me than anything else right now. It's the first time they've given anyone ten one-hour shows. It's a dream come true. The aim is for me to get the man or woman in the street interested in the men behind the Great American Songbook... Irving Berlin, Harold Arlen, Rodgers and Hammerstein, Leonard Bernstein and so on..."
"I researched and wrote it all myself, chose the recordings we illustrate it with, sang and played a little myself. It's Barry in your living room. I couldn't have enjoyed it more."


text: I read earlier someone said they were dissapointed with the lack of likable teams and I agree. Last season in TAR4 I pretty much liked every team (Not really Team Who as much because of the whole athletic dominant male thing) but this season I don't really like anybody. Last season my fav was R&C (I forget what their nickname was >_o) and I was about to die of suspense when I watched the finale. I guess it'll be easier to watch TAR5 then because I'll be more happy than sad when I see people get eliminated.

I would like you to try to help her to urinate. Can you take her outside and support her on the lawn? If you put her in the right position, with her back legs apart, she may be able to void on her own. Wait about 5 minutes to see if she can. If she cannot then you may need to help her to get started. You have to put your hand under her belly, far back towards her back legs. Then, push up into her belly - deeply. Feel for something that feels like a water balloon. By now, I would expect her bladder to be about the size of an orange. If and when you find it, hold it between your fingers and thumb and firmly squeeze it with a constant pressure for about 2 minutes. This may help her to get started urinating.
Let me know how it goes!
No urine came out then? She didn't go on her own at all either?
Ok, thanks for that further information. I am working on your answer. What time is it where you are?
I'm so glad you are going to drop her off at your vet!
I am concerned that your dog may indeed be experiencing paralysis due to Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD, herniated disc). This happens when the material in the discs between the boney vertebrae in the back ruptures out and presses on the spinal cord. There is a lot of internal swelling when this occurs, leading to pain and decreased nerve function. This can happen in conjunction with arthritis of the vertebrae, because that causes decreased flexibility between the vertebrae.
Treatment for IVDD often involves anti-inflammatories, pain killers and/or steroids. The goal is to decrease the swelling which in turn decreases the pain and improves nerve function. Sometimes, however, they are not enough. In these situations, surgery can be done to go in and remove the disc material that is pressing on the spine. This is called "decompression" surgery.
In order to determine what is appropriate treatment for your dog, a veterinarian needs to perform a very thorough neurological examination. The vet looks for neurological deficits such as a delay in turning the back foot over if it is turned so the top of the foot is on the ground instead of the pads, while the dog is in a standing position. The vet also looks for "purposeful movement" which is a stepping motion of the hind legs when the vet supports the dog's weight so the legs can swing freely. There are a number of other neurological tests the vet does to test reflexes. Also, the vet manipulates each vertebrae in a way to find where there may be pain.
Often, if a painful area is located, the vet will recommend x-rays to look for a compression between the vertebrae. This confirms the diagnosis.
The prognosis for each patient depends on the symptoms, the results of the neurological examination, how long the problem has been present, and how the dog responds to treatment.
I am concerned about your dog because it sounds like she is unable to urinate on her own. I am so glad you are taking her today to your veterinarian for examination and treatment. It would be helpful to take her on an empty stomach just in case they need to give a sedative/pain killer to take x-rays.
Here are some links with more information:
Depending on what your vet suggests, I am hoping that your girl will start to improve once you can start the prednisone. Also, many people with neck pain report that a warm compress is soothing, and your dog may appreciate that too. You can do this by making a wet towel compress. Place a small wet towel, folded into a zip-lok bag (unzipped!) and heat for about 2 minutes in the microwave. Remove and press all the air out. Make sure it is not too hot! You may want to put another towel around it, and then gently place over your Pug's neck.
I realize that all of these vet visits and tests are going to add up and wanted to give you some links to financial aid in case you need them.
Nationally here are some groups that might help you afford the vet bills: American Animal Hospital Association http://www.aahahelpingpets.org/ " Through the AAHA Helping Pets Fund, veterinary care is possible for sick or injured pets even if they have been abandoned or if their owner is experiencing financial hardship."

IMOM http://www.imom.org/ "We are dedicated to insure that no companion animal has to be euthanized simply because their caretaker is financially challenged." The Pet Fund http://thepetfund.com/ "The Pet Fund is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit association that provides financial assistance to owners of domestic animals who need urgent veterinary care."

Armin Only Intense: The Final Shows at Ziggo Dome Sells Out in An Hour
It has been an incredibly successful year for the Armin Only Intense world tour, with two completely sold out kick-off shows in the Ziggo Dome (Amsterdam) in November 2013. The journey following led Armin and his crew to hundreds of thousands of fans all over the world; North America, Asia, Australia, South Africa and Europe. At the moment, the Armin Only Intense crew is enjoying a well-deserved summer break, but when autumn falls, they will continue their musical adventure with Valencia, Moscow, São Paulo, Buenos Aires, Medellin, Quito, Ostrava and Bucharest.
The enthusiastic reactions of the fans has made a good impression on Dennis de Bruin, COO at ALDA Events and producer of Armin Only, and he is proud that the tour will see its closure in Amsterdam. "It has been an extremely busy year but with fantastic memories, and this feels like the icing on the cake"
For Armin van Buuren, who has been acknowledged number 1 DJ of the world 5 times, it was a logical step and ultimate outcome to close the world tour in Amsterdam. He states: by then I've been on tour for over a year and it makes me happy to know that I will be able to perform the spectacle for two more times to all my fans. The kick-off shows were already unforgettable last year and the 'Final Shows' will definitely surpass it. We kept on improving and further developing the show, and through adjustments we were able to perfect the experience. This will be clear through numerous of new elements and effects, which will also be included in the show on December 5 & 6 to exceed all expectations.
Following are the destinations the tour will continue with after the summer break and before the closure in Amsterdam:
Valencia, Spain: 20-09-2014
Moskow, Russia: 27-09-2014
Sao Paulo, Brasil: 03-10-2014

All-out war feared as Israel moves troops toward Gaza, rockets land near Tel Aviv
November 16, 2012
ISRAEL – Israeli tanks and troops moved toward the Gaza Strip on Thursday night in apparent preparation for a possible invasion of the crowded seaside enclave after a day of violence that included two militant rocket strikes on the southern suburbs of Tel Aviv, raising the likelihood that the region was on the brink of all-out war. A day after Israeli aircraft and warships retaliated for hundreds of rockets fired into the country in recent weeks by striking scores of targets in Gaza in the biggest Israeli military operation in four years, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak summoned more than 30,000 reservists to military duty. Barak said the order was intended to make Israel "ready for any development." Those soldiers could be seen from the Israeli city of Kiriyat Malachi, 20 miles north of Gaza, massing and heading toward the border, even as officials indicated that the decision to invade hadn't yet been made. "We have made the preparations, and entering is certainly an option," said a senior Israeli military official based in southern Israel, who spoke only on the condition of anonymity under the military's ground rules. "If the politicians were looking for an excuse, Hamas gave them one." That was a reference to rockets fired by militants in Gaza that struck neighborhoods across the southern Tel Aviv metropolis, the first time Palestinian rockets had reached the densely populated urban center where more than 40 percent of Israelis live. No one was injured in the strikes on Tel Aviv, but three people died in Kiriyat Malachi when a militant's rocket struck a four-story building. The possibility of all-out war alarmed countries across the globe. Egypt's Islamist government said Prime Minister Hesham Kandil would visit Gaza on Friday in a show of solidarity with Hamas and ordered the border crossing at Rafah opened around the clock to allow wounded Gazans to seek medical care in Egypt. Gaza's Hamas leaders said offers of assistance were pouring in from throughout the Arab world. The United States expressed support for Israel and blamed Hamas for triggering the violence by allowing militants to fire rockets into Israel. President Barack Obama spoke with Egypt's Islamist president, Mohammed Morsi, and urged him to broker a cease-fire. Hamas considers itself a close ally of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, of which Morsi was a leading member before he assumed the presidency. France, too, sought to broker peace between the two sides, with the country's prime minister saying that President Francois Hollande had been in touch with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Morsi. The prime minister, Jean-Marc Ayrault, called the violence "dangerous for the security" of both Israelis and Palestinians, according to news reports. Morsi sided with Hamas, saying, "The Israelis must realize that this aggression is unacceptable and would only lead to instability in the region and would negatively and greatly impact the security of the region." On the streets of Tel Aviv, there was a new sense of vulnerability, even though police said the two rockets that landed here had done so harmlessly, one falling into the water just off the beach in the Tel Aviv neighborhood of Jaffa, and the other striking a field near the town of Rishon Lezion. Still, for many who'd thought they lived in areas of the country safe from attack from Gaza militants the sound of air raid warnings brought a new sense of dread. Israelis strolling along the beach promenade in Tel Aviv went sprawling into the sand in search of cover as police warned that they had less than 90 seconds from the sound of the first siren before a rocket was expected to land. -ADN
