Wales coach Warren Gatland has named just a single new cap in his squad for their forthcoming November Tests as he seeks to build consistency.
Wales face New Zealand, Argentina, Samoa and Australia in a tough schedule and will be hoping to follow up last season's 21-18 victory over the Wallabies with another southern hemisphere scalp.
Dragons back-row Dan Lydiate has been rewarded for good domestic form with his first-call-up, while the most high-profile omission comes in the form of Ian Gough. The 61-times capped Ospreys lock is joined on the sidelines by regional team-mate Andrew Bishop.
Ryan Jones has retained the captaincy and is joined by senior figures in Stephen Jones, Shane Williams, Tom Shanklin and Mark Jones. Alun-Wyn Jones, Matthew Rees, Leigh Halfpenny, Andy Powell, James Hook and Jamie Roberts will all return to Wales colours after their British & Irish Lions exertions.
Gatland's squad is missing several leading lights, with scrum-half Mike Phillips, fullback Lee Byrne, lock Ian Evans and props Adam Jones, John Yapp and Rhys Thomas all ruled out by injury. Ospreys product Craig Mitchell looks set to take the place of Jones in the starting XV, with his team-mates Paul James and Duncan Jones both earning international recalls.
Phillips' long-term injury sees Gareth Cooper, Martin Roberts and Dwayne Peel selected as the scrum-half options. Peel is unavailable for the opening showdown with the All Blacks on November 7 as his club, Sale, are not bound by the participation agreement and will therefore not release him as the Test falls outside the designated IRB window.
Peel is the only player currently plying his trade outside Wales to have been selected, with his club team-mate Eifion Lewis-Roberts, Gloucester fly-half Nick Robinson and Wasps scrum-half Warren Fury all missing out.
Two sizable boosts come in the form of Blues duo Martyn Williams and Gethin Jenkins however, who have returned ahead of schedule from shoulder surgery following the Lions tour.
"The selection process has been relatively simple for us, generally we have gone for the incumbents in their positions at regional level and selection reflects the good form our Welsh sides have shown already so far this season," said Gatland. "Dan Lydiate is a good example of someone who has let his form do the talking and he deserves his chance as does Sam Warburton, who also impressed the coaches on tour this summer.
"Craig Mitchell keeps his place after making his debut on that tour and, as a recognized tight-head, he is definitely someone we are looking to develop, although both Gethin Jenkins and Paul James are in consideration as props who can play on both sides of the scrum.
"It's ironic that we will have Dwayne to train with is for three days in Test week, but that he will have to go back to Manchester on match-day, but it is something we have long been made aware of, accepted a long time ago and have made allowances for."
Wales Squad for Tests against New Zealand, Samoa, Argentina and Australia:
Forwards: Paul James (Ospreys), Duncan Jones (Ospreys), Gethin Jenkins (Cardiff Blues), Craig Mitchell (Ospreys), Huw Bennett (Ospreys), Matthew Rees (Scarlets), Luke Charteris (Newport-Gwent Dragons), Bradley Davies (Cardiff Blues), Alun-Wyn Jones (Ospreys), Jonathan Thomas (Ospreys), Ryan Jones (Ospreys, captain), Dafydd Jones (Scarlets), Dan Lydiate (Newport-Gwent Dragons), Andy Powell (Cardiff Blues), Sam Warburton (Cardiff Blues), Martyn Williams (Cardiff Blues)
Backs: Leigh Halfpenny (Cardiff Blues), Tom James (Cardiff Blues), Mark Jones (Scarlets), Shane Williams (Ospreys), Jonathan Davies (Scarlets), Jamie Roberts (Cardiff Blues), Tom Shanklin (Cardiff Blues), Dan Biggar (Ospreys), James Hook (Ospreys), Stephen Jones (Scarlets), Gareth Cooper (Cardiff Blues), Dwayne Peel (Sale Sharks), Martin Roberts (Scarlets)

The latest news on today's hottest celebrities ...
RANDY JACKSON: Randy Jackson will return as a judge for Season 12 of "American Idol" after weeks of rumors claiming he would shift into a mentor position.
TVGuide.com said Jackson, the last original judge on the singing competition series, will be back for another season now that talks between show producers and singer Enrique Iglesias have ended.
Iglesias was in the running to become a judge alongside incoming Grammy Award winner Mariah Carey.
Pop star Nicki Minaj and country artist Keith Urban are close to signing deals to join Carey and Jackson on the panel, TVGuide.com said Monday.
The cast change follows the departure of Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez at the end of last season.
CHRIS BROWN: Chris Brown's publicist says the U.S. singer's new neck tattoo is not a portrait of his ex-girlfriend Rihanna as Internet buzz has suggested.
"His tattoo is a sugar skull [associated with the Mexican celebration of the Day of the Dead] and a MAC cosmetics design he saw," Brown's representative said in a statement to TMZ Tuesday. "It is not Rihanna or an abused woman as erroneously reported."
The tattoo artist who administered the ink told the celebrity news website Brown gave him the sugar skull design from a MAC advertisement to follow.
Brown and Rihanna broke up in 2009 after a heated physical confrontation in a car. Brown pleaded guilty to assault and was initially court-ordered to stay away from her, but after the restraining order was lifted, the pair have appeared friendly in public and frequently communicate with each other via Twitter, sparking rumors they are again dating.
ANNA PAQUIN: Stephen Moyer's publicist said Tuesday the British actor's wife, actress Anna Paquin, has given birth to twins.
"The babies were born a few weeks early, but are in good health and both Mom and Dad are overjoyed," Moyer's representative said in a statement to E! News.
The "True Blood" co-stars married in August 2010.
No other details, including the babies' genders and birthday, were released.
WILLIAM SHATNER: Canadian-born actor and author William Shatner says he has added 20 cities to the U.S. tour of his one-man show "Shatner's World" in 2012-13.
The tour extension follows a three-week run this year at Broadway's Music Box Theatre and a successful tour of 15 cities across the United States.
"Performing for audiences on the road has been one of the most gratifying experiences I've ever had as an actor," Shatner said in a statement Tuesday. "My fans are the best in the world and I can't wait to get back on tour this year."
The 90-minute show takes audiences on "a voyage through Shatner's life and career, from Shakespearean stage actor to internationally known icon and raconteur, known as much for his unique persona as for his expansive body of work on television and film," a synopsis said.

DUNEDIN — A new partnership with Clearwater is expected to save Dunedin residents thousands of dollars in health care costs for city workers and their families.
Starting July 9, workers enrolled in Dunedin's health plan will be eligible to seek out routine medical care and generic medications at the health clinic Clearwater rolled out two years ago for its employees.
Employees aren't required to use the clinic, which doesn't offer specialist care or name-brand medications. They can still obtain drugs or see a doctor of their choosing through the city's traditional insurance plan.
But Dunedin officials are hoping most will take advantage of the new agreement, which they say will cut down costs by providing health services at a fixed cost. The clinic will emphasize preventative care in an effort to reduce the number of high-dollar claims Dunedin paid out of its self-insured medical plan last year for emergency room visits, surgeries and other serious conditions.
Dunedin anticipates saving taxpayers anywhere from $86,000 to $332,000 in avoided claims during the partnership's first year.
Eligible employees and their dependents — 700 in all — are projected to save between $44,000 and $75,000 in eliminated co-pays for doctor appointments and prescriptions — an incentive officials hope will encourage them to jump aboard.
"It's a direct savings for the city because the costs of those services through the clinic are less than if the employee filed a claim through the medical plan," said Clearwater human resources manager Allen DelPrete. "But the ultimate goal is to get the employees with a doctor who's engaged and convenient, so they don't have to submit a claim through the medical plan."
Dunedin joins more than 20 Florida cities and counties that either operate or are in the process of opening employee medical centers.
Clearwater "conservatively" estimates that its clinic resulted in a claims avoidance of just over $3.2 million between its July 2010 opening and December 2011, DelPrete said. Clearwater employees, he said, saved nearly $950,000 in avoided co-pays. The figures were calculated by comparing actual usage at Clearwater's facility to the average cost for routine office visits and generic medications under Clearwater's plan with Cigna.
Similar results would be a boon for self-insured Dunedin, which deposits employees' bi-monthly health contributions into a fund that's used to pay out claims. (The city pays Humana an administrative fee to monitor claims and handle "catastrophic" claims over $100,000.)
Dunedin human resources director Nancy Duggan said the city incurred about $2.6 million in claims for employees and their families during the 2010-11 fiscal year, the first that the city was self-insured, essentially wiping out the fund. Officials hope the clinic will help the city begin to build a reserve.
Under a one-year contract approved by Dunedin commissioners last week, city employees and their families will share the facility, located in the Powell Professional Center at 401 Corbett St. in Clearwater, with Clearwater's eligible 1,474 employees, 184 retirees and their 1,033 dependents.
Dunedin will contribute $305,317 to Clearwater and Care ATC, which provides administrative oversight, for medical staffing and other operation costs.
The partnership will allow Clearwater to expand its clinic staff and hours. Three doctors and two nurse practitioners will offer dedicated 20-minute appointments from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, with no break during lunch or long waits for appointments. Employees will be allowed to leave work and visit the clinic during the work day.
For the same amount of money, Duggan said, Dunedin could have afforded only one nurse practitioner for eight to 12 hours a week.
She said the city will evaluate additional clinic hours or potential changes to employees' paycheck deductions down the road.
"In the end, it's really about making insurance affordable so (employees) can be proactive," Duggan said. "The more proactive they can be with their health, the more money we're going to save as a community."

|[en] Although brain injury may have a great impact on the family as a whole, family reactions are not adequately addressed in rehabilitative programmes. When they are, treatment tends to be approached from a family education and support perspective and not from a family therapy perspective. The aim of the following paper is to illustrate the important role that a family systems approach can play in treating families of individuals with brain injury. In particular, clinical examples taken from the literature will be presented that illustrate how family roles can be modified as a consequence of a brain injury, and the importance of re-establishing or re-distributing these roles. It will be argued that an intimate collaboration between family therapist and brain injury professional is essential, and that the ideal professional make-up of clinicians working with families of persons with brain injury are those well-versed in both brain injury rehabilitation and family therapy.

WASHINGTON — Sen. Thad Cochran (R-Miss.) has announced his support for prompt Senate Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry Committee consideration of House-passed legislation to overturn a new level of regulatory burdens on the use of pesticides.
Cochran and all Republican members of the Senate Agriculture Committee have signed a letter to chairman Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) that asks her to bring up for debate and approval the Reducing Regulatory Burdens Act (HR.872).
The House March 31 passed HR.872 with a broad, bipartisan vote, 292-130. Written to overturn the new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) pesticide requirements, the House-approved legislation has been referred to the Senate Agriculture Committee for consideration.
"I look forward to Senate Agriculture Committee consideration of legislation that received significant and bipartisan support in the House. That vote shows there is evident concern among policymakers about the Environmental Protection Agency's proposed pesticide regulations," Cochran said.
While noting the introduction of a similar Senate measure (S.718), the letter to Stabenow highlights the desire among farmers, municipal and public health officials and others to have Congress address the new regulations as soon as possible.
"Agriculture producers, forestry interests, public health officials, states, municipalities, and other impacted stakeholders have told us they are in imminent need of certainty for what may be required of them in the near future. State and local officials have made clear that this is not merely a regulatory burden but could endanger public health as we enter mosquito season," the letter said.
The letter was sent by Ranking Member Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) and signed by Senators Cochran, Richard Lugar (R-Ind.), Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.), Mike Johanns (R-Neb.), John Boozman (R-Ark.), Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), John Thune (R-S.D.) and John Hoeven (R-N.D.).

USGenWeb Project
A Brief History of Groton
Groton had its precarious beginnings when John Tinker followed Indian Trails from the Bay area and settled near the mouth of Nod Brook on the Nashua to set up his trading post to do business with the Nashaway Indians. The area was known as Petapawag, an Indian name for swampy land. Adventuresome families soon followed, on foot or on horseback, and found it a good place for the necessary farming and fishing.
In 1655, this trading post evolved into a formal settlement called The Plantation of Groton, which encompassed all of what is now Groton and Ayer, nearly all of Pepperell and Shirley, a large part of Dunstable and Littleton, as well as smaller parts of Harvard, Westford, Nashua, NH, and Hollis, NH. It was named in honor of one of the original Selectmen, Dean Winthrop, who was born in Groton, Suffolk County, England.
In 1676, during the King Philip's War, Indians attacked the town and burned down all but four garrison houses. The surviving residents fled to Concord and other safe havens returning two years later to rebuild the town.
As Groton's population grew so did many supporting industries including a soapstone quarry, a large hop-growing industry, a brick factory, a saw mill, a grist mill, and a pewter mill which produced tea pots, plates, cups, and buttons.
West Groton lies within a "V" formed by the Nashua and the Squannacook rivers. The old red brick Groton Leatherboard factory still stands on the Squannacook River as an example of the late industrial period of a New England mill village. West Groton has its own post office, fire station, and water department. In the past, other areas of Groton were designated as east, south, and north, but only West Groton's name survived.

Most Transparent Administration Ever?
Filed Under Politics | 10 Comments
President Obama has committed to making his administration the most open and transparent in history — White House website, January 20, 2009
It's the most transparent administration in history, provided your knowledge of history doesn't go back more than a few years.
The Obama administration is appealing a judge's ruling that Secret Service records of visitors to the White House complex are subject to disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act.
The Justice Department filed a formal notice of appeal Friday afternoon regarding U.S. District Court Judge Beryl Howell's August ruling rejecting arguments that the so-called WAVES records belong to the White House even though they are maintained and used by the Secret Service.
And the reasoning that will be cited by the DoJ, and reported by the media as evidenced below, is that it's always been done that way:
The position taken by the Obama Justice Department, namely that White House visitor records are presidential records and not agency records, is essentially the same one that the department took under President George W. Bush.
They're trying to pass off "but that's how Bush did it" as an unprecedented level of transparency?
In other transparency news, President Obama won't turn over any Solyndra-related Blackberry messages to House investigators. You'd think that they could get them anyway by subpoenaing the people with whom Obama was most likely to be conferring at the time about Solyndra. Or maybe Obama just doesn't want anybody to see how much he's been playing Angry Birds.
Is all this hush-hush coming from the same guy who once promised a new era of openness?

Well you have to admit that brazenness is a form of openness. Have we ever before seen such brazen lying and corruption?

As with other administrations, this one is trying to cover up the systemic cronyism and corruption. We've only seen the tip of the iceberg of a problem that reins in all branches of our government.
Corruption and cronyism is running rampant in our government and this is yet another example.
Consider also what just happened in a federal court in Texas. A Dallas business owner was involved in a civil dispute and paid millions of dollars to lawyers, and when he objected to additional fees after settling the case, they had a "friendly" judge seize all of his possessions, without any notice or hearing, and essentially ordered him under "house arrest" as an involuntary servant to the lawyers. The business owner has been under this "servant" order for 10 months and is prohibited from owning any possessions, prohibited from working, etc..
…and some quotes from the judge:
THE COURT: "I'm telling you don't scr-w with me. You are a fool, a fool, a fool, a fool to scr-w with a federal judge, and if you don't understand that, I can make you understand it. I have the force of the Navy, Army, Marines and Navy behind me."
THE COURT: "You realize that order is an order of the Court. So any failure to comply with that order is contempt, punishable by lots of dollars, punishable by possible jail, death"
http://www.lawinjustice.com has an explanation of this case.

And now, it looks like Raj Rajaratnam's conviction for insider trading has a better than 50/50 chance of being overturned on a technicality.
If I have to hear one more dope arguing that insider trading is a victimless crime I will lose it. That crook has $75 million in his possession that is not his. That means it belongs to someone else. Insider trading is NOT a victimless crime no matter how many crooked "free market capitalism conservatives" argue otherwise. We have rules. If we call rules regulations, that doesn't make them wrong. We need to re-establish the sensible rules that assure investors who don't have access to inside information that the markets are fair, that everyone is playing on the same level playing field with the same opportunities available to all.
We won't have a robust and efficient capitalist system if we don't soon deal with the widely-held view is that the system is rigged. There was never a time when most Americans understood or felt warm about capitalism but today even people like me (investment advisor) believe that with 80-90% of the daily trading volume being generated by taxpayer-subsidized high frequency trading (HFT) trading computers using proprietary logarithms that even the SEC doesn't inspect and who buy the advance (unexecuted orders) trading tape which the exchanges sell them, how can we conclude otherwise?
There are two things the stock markets are there for: price discovery and efficient capital allocation. When all stocks are going up and down together because these computers are playing ping-pong buying and selling leveraged sector ETFs, all they are doing are stepping in front of our trades to capture profits from trades that have no economic justification. They are profitable to these traders because they are the fastest to step in front and because the government subsidizes the activity. Broader economic fundamentals are never a consideration anymore.
State-sanctioned corruption is so corrosive to the very source of American
innovation and job creation that we are now on the brink of global economic collapse.

And it's that very arrogance as to WHY business people refuse to engage. Gone Galt. If you DO nothing you can be ACCUSED of nothing! Here in Oregon w/ our State Capitol facing -massive- budget shortfalls, Progs put (2) ballot measures up for a 'vote'.
Well let's examine the demographics behind that? Be it resolved.., would YOU the 80% of the voters in the State that that only make W-2 Wages ( below a certain threshold you'll never have to WORRY about? ) impose a TAX on the 20% of the self-employed WHOM can in no WAY defend themselves against your onslaught?
Done & DONE! In essence they KILLED all the service vendors like myself who bank on new business creation. From inception what Progs found in Obama was a TOOL that would treat ALL self-employed people as nothing more than tax cheats.

SANFORD, Fla. - With the start of jury selection just days away, we wanted to explore some of the myths or misstatements that have surfaced in the public forum since the start of the investigation.
We begin with an e-mail that went viral claiming to have details about the "Real" Trayvon Martin. It included the picture of a bearded, tattooed man described as six-foot-two, 172 pounds with a muscular build. Snopes.com discovered the man in the picture was actually a rapper in his 30s who goes by the name "Game." Martin's autopsy would reveal the teen to be 5 feet 11 inches tall, weighing 158 pounds.
Then there was the George Zimmerman's 911 call that inflamed racial tensions after some speculated he used a racial slur. Turns out, the word in question was "punks".
Zimmerman was often described as a self-appointed neighborhood watch captain but we learned from Wendy Dorival of the Sanford Police Department he was actually a neighborhood watch coordinator which is a notch above captain. As a community newsletter indicated it meant he was the liaison between his neighbors and the police. Dorival said, "I believe the HOA assigned him to coordinate the neighborhood watch."
In the relentless call for an arrest in the weeks following Martin's death there was much talk about the teen carrying Skittles and Iced Tea.
That beverage was actually an Arizona-brand fruit drink.
A minor point for sure but indicative of how quickly repetition of one misstatement can morph into a perceived truth, and in this case, a narrative.
Other items Martin had on him at the time of his death included a cell phone, headphones, a lighter, and a man's picture framed in a tribute pin.

COLUMBUS, Ohio - They came in droves, regulars and first-timers, children, parents and grandparents, to order burgers, fries and milkshakes at the first Wendy's restaurant, which closed Friday after 37 years downtown because of persistent lagging sales.
Some called the decision corporate greed. Others shrugged, saying they understood the decision.
"If Dave Thomas knew he would roll over in his grave," said Drenna Burke, a broker's assistant who works around the corner. She ate often at the dark brick restaurant with a distinctive blue-and-white aluminum trim and Thursday was snapping pictures of Wendy's paraphernalia.
"You can't tell me that Wendy's doesn't make enough profit that they can continue to keep this open," Ms. Burke said. "It's all about greed and it's all about money."
Mr. Thomas, who died in 2002, opened the restaurant in a former steakhouse on a cold, snowy Saturday on Nov. 15, 1969. He was accompanied by actor Danny Thomas, a longtime friend, and later became known as the company's pitchman in commercials for the nation's third-largest hamburger chain.
The restaurant fell victim to tight parking and sparse dinner or weekend business in a downtown that largely shuts down after 5 p.m., despite the city's efforts to increase housing and entertainment options.
The restaurant averaged only about half of the $1.4 million in annual business done by a typical Wendy's store.
"We can tell when we come by at night there's no business at all - there's limited parking and obviously no drive through," said Jon Montzler, an attorney with the state who often lunched at the restaurant with his wife, Jennifer, and their two preschool sons.
Mr. Thomas' son, Ken, said he sees both sides of the argument.
"My father taught me that profit's really not a dirty word," Ken Thomas said Thursday.
"People say, 'Well, we're going to do it Dave's way,'" he said. "Well, if you're going to do it Dave's way, then you need to close this restaurant."

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2 (UPI) -- A lawyer for two brothers mauled by a tiger at the San Francisco Zoo said zoo workers ignored their cries for help for about 30 minutes before calling 911.
The Christmas Day attack seriously injured Paul Dhaliwal, 19, and Kulbir Dhaliwal, 23, and killed their friend, 17-year-old Carlos Sousa Jr.
"The whole thing is mind-boggling," attorney Mark Geragos told The San Francisco Chronicle. "They were out there for 30 to 35 minutes and nobody takes them seriously – especially when there was blood. It's incredible."
A zoo spokesman said police had not completed an investigation of the attack, which ended when the tiger was killed.
The big cat reportedly was on the loose more than 45 minutes.
Geragos told the Chronicle the youths had not taunted the animal and had no idea why it attacked them.
Lions and tigers will not be on exhibit when the zoo reopens Thursday, the newspaper said.
The zoo was expected to add a four-to-five foot tempered glass wall to its tiger and lion exhibits to increase the height of the protective barrier to 16 ½ feet, and may install surveillance cameras.

This one, however, wasn't; the clove does stand out, but it's also got a nice herbal sweetness – almost like a Yankee Candle, but I can't place that scent. It tastes really Autumnal, but not especially like pumpkin pie or pecan pie or anything like that…just fallish spice flavors. The honey and vanilla don't jump out to me, for some reason.

Notts County v Oldham preview
Team news for Tuesday's League One clash between Notts County and Oldham at Meadow Lane.
Last Updated: 21/01/13 6:36pm
Team news for Tuesday's League One clash between Notts County and Oldham at Meadow Lane.
Francois Zoko is suspended for the midweek tie.
Zoko was shown a straight red card during the first half of the 1-1 home draw against Sheffield United on Saturday and the forward will begin a two-match ban.
Striker Enoch Showunmi could be pushing for a recall to the squad after missing out against the Blades with a knock sustained in training last week.
Notts returned to action on Saturday for the first time since New Year's Day and reported no new injury problems.
Manager Keith Curle has the likes of defenders Julian Kelly and Manny Smith, midfielders Gavin Mahon, Joss Labadie and Hamza Bencherif and forward Romello Nangel to call on if he wishes to make any changes to his starting XI.
A pitch inspection is planned at Meadow Lane at 10am on Tuesday morning.
Oldham welcome back midfielder James Wesolowski as they look to turn around a dismal run of league form.
Wesolowski completed a three-match suspension as Latics suffered a last-gasp 2-1 defeat to Coventry on Saturday and is likely to partner Robbie Simpson in central midfield as skipper Dean Furman is still absent on international duty with South Africa.
David Mellor was handed a first start since March last year at the Ricoh Arena and is expected to continue on the left side of midfield with Cristian Montano (thigh) still sidelined.
Midfielder Chris Sutherland came off the bench for his first action in two months and will hope to be involved once more.
Paul Dickov's side are without a win in their last seven npower League One matches, picking up a solitary point during that period.

WINNIPEG - It sounds like Alex Burmistrov is getting closer to returning to the NHL — for the 2015-16 season.
But first, Burmistrov, a restricted free agent who remains property of the Winnipeg Jets, is preparing to spend a second season playing in the Kontinental Hockey League with his hometown team, Ak-Bars Kazan.
However, Burmistrov told Prosports.ru in an interview that he remains open to returning to the NHL.
"I have one more year on my contract. And really I would be deciding next summer," said Burmistrov, according to Google translate. "In any case, I do not believe that my story in the NHL is over. I will almost certainly return there."
Burmistrov, 22, was the eighth overall pick of the Atlanta Thrashers in the 2010 NHL Draft and has 23 goals and 58 points in 194 NHL games.
Last season with Ak-Bars Kazan, Burmistrov had 10 goals and 37 points in 54 games to lead his team in scoring, before adding two assists in six playoff games.

Although the sign on the pier says Cape Hatteras Pier, everyone refers to it as Frisco Pier. Protected from N/NE swells by Cape Hatteras, it works best on anything with S in it. A snappy wave with occasional barrels, it's offshore in northerly winds and can handle the bigger swells.
Generally much less crowded than the Lighthouse because it is far less consistent — until a S swell hits, which may pass by a lot of the spots to the north. Easy parking and camping.

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — You'll hear plenty of oohs and ahhs in downtown Wilmington this weekend as folks check out hundreds of old cars and motorcycles at Rims on the River.
Car lovers and collectors from all over come to Wilmington for the special event where you can see everything from an old lifted truck to a shiny Rolls Royce.
Over the past 10 years the annual event has grown into a premier show for pre 1980 cars.
This year Rims on the River had motorcycle stunt riders, circus sideshows and a big free concert.

The Emergency Management Manual Victoria integrates into a
single multi-part folder the principal policy and planning
documents for emergency management in Victoria. It outlines
agreed State Government policy issued under the Emergency
Management Act, 1986 and encourages a risk management
approach to emergency management. The manual covers all
emergencies and complements the Victoria Flood Management
Strategy which focuses only on floods.
While primarily intended for an audience of emergency
management practitioners, the manual is designed also to be
of interest and use to those who simply need to understand
more about the Victorian emergency management arrangements
and how they operate. It is designed to provide information
and guidance on what the emergency management arrangements
are, the role of the various organisations within them, and
the planning and management arrangements which bring all the
different elements together.
This manual provides essential information for people who
have direct involvement in emergency management, whether in a
full time capacity, an occasional component of their normal
duties, or perhaps as an emergency service volunteer.
For those people with specific planning responsibilities, the
manual provides policy guidelines on emergency management
planning in the municipal and regional situations.

It's been ages since Edward Wyatt, now housed in LA and covering the
film beat television, got anywhere near a publishing-related story (as Judith Regan is like, so six months ago) but his reporting on the not-quite controversy surrounding HBO's very loose adaptation of Dee Brown's BURY MY HEART AT WOUNDED KNEE is as close as he'll get now. The 1971 nonfiction book broke ground because it told the battle's story from the perspective of the natives, but the HBO adaptation – produced by Dick Wolf and starring Adam Beach & Anna Paquin – adds a a new central character, a man who was part Sioux, was educated at an Ivy League college and married a white woman.
"Everyone felt very strongly that we needed a white character or a part-white, part-Indian character to carry a contemporary white audience through this project," Daniel Giat, the writer who adapted the book for HBO Films, told a group of television writers earlier this year. "This was not an attempt to do the Ken Burns version of the Indian experience," Wolf said to Wyatt in an interview. "It is a dramatization, and we needed a protagonist." And that's the thing: of course it would be nice to have historically accurate movies but, um, it's a movie, not a documentary. Of course they are going to go for dramatic arcs even if they are fictionalized ones.
But such knowledge won't satisfy everyone. Nicolas Proctor, Brown's grandson and one of three people who oversees his estate, as well as an associate professor of history at Simpson College in Iowa, said that as a historian he was "always kind of shocked that history is not moving enough, is not evocative enough and rich enough to keep people from having to get in there and start monkeying around with it." He said that the estate had no control over the film's content.

Pistons Roll Past Celtics
By Josh Cohen
July 12, 2012
ORLANDO – One would expect Brandon Knight to be among the most polished players at the 2012 AirTran Airways Orlando Pro Summer League considering his experience last season with Detroit and his already refined set of skills.
So it's really no surprise when you see a stat line of 19 points, 14 assists and three rebounds from one of the blossoming point guards in the NBA.
Knight's playmaking and scoring excellence catapulted the Pistons to their third victory of the week as they coasted past the previously undefeated Boston Celtics, 93-79, on Thursday.
Austin Daye contributed 15 points, eight rebounds and five blocked shots for Detroit, which shot 49 percent from the field. Khris Middleton added 12 points, while Andre Drummond recorded 10 and eight rebounds.
Kris Joseph and JaJuan Johnson paced the Celtics, who mustered up 14 fewer assists than their opponent, with 17 points each and Jamar Smith poured in 13.
After three consecutive solid performances this week, Jared Sullinger struggled and finished with 11 points on 2-of-9 shooting from the field.
The Pistons will look to improve to 4-1 when they face the 76ers in the final day of summer league action in Orlando, while the C's will try to recover in their clash with the Magic.
Pistons Roll Past Celtics

When Short Message Service (SMS) is referred to by any of its more recognized given names — text messaging, texting, mobile messaging, etc. — it's readily seen as a wireless tool for social interactions. Many businesses still aren't sure where it fits into their enterprise and contact center operations. But the sooner they formulate a plan for SMS, the better. Because as texting volumes threaten to surpass those of email and voice, the value of SMS has become increasingly magnified.
SMS - the new preferred channel?
The pace of texting worldwide has increased immeasurably as service providers have made SMS easier to use, particularly between networks. Among service providers leading the surge, one need only look at Google and its integrated SMS offering for mobile phones (Google SMS is supported on all major mobile providers in the U.S.) Using the service, Google users can text a special number and instantly access the Internet's considerable resources for businesses and product information anywhere in the world.
More than 3 billion mobile users by 2014
Globally, Gartner, Inc. estimates that by 2014 more than 3 billion of the world's adult population (over age 18) will be able to transact electronically via mobile or Internet technology. Making Gartner's estimate notable for businesses is its emphasis on the advances in mobile payment, commerce and banking technologies, which will make it easier to electronically transact via mobile Internet access and associated technologies such as SMS. Gartner's findings indicate a 90% mobile penetration rate and 6.5 billion actual mobile business connections annually by the year 2014.
Market implications
For any company that already utilizes SMS and media channels such as electronic payment accounts (or that plans to), the same Garter study adds that:
Many adults in emerging economies will have a unique addressable account for the first time, chiefly SMS, e-mail or payment account. The ability for these consumers to engage in consumer-to-consumer commerce with other individuals will also increase.
Most adults who gain the new ability to transact electronically will come from emerging economies, estimated at $1 trillion annually by 2014. These markets will become much more "commerce-ready" as a result, and technically, global companies like Coca-Cola and Carrefour will have the potential to reach and transact with a significant majority of adult mobile users on the planet.
SMS in the multichannel mix
Contact centers led the early business-customer adoption phases of SMS, and essentially treated the technology as an extension of email. SMS technology has progressed to the point today, where it now plugs directly into the corporate network. In place of modems in telecom rooms, there are standard TCP/IP connections to SMS brokers.
In contact centers in particular, unified communications and all-in-one multichannel platforms have made it possible to manage all types of interaction media channels uniformly. By treating SMS as its own media type, such platforms make it easy to apply the same metrics to SMS as applied to voice, email, fax, and other interaction types. The benefit is that a contact center can steer text messages into an Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) queue alongside phone calls and emails for routing to an agent, yet isolate SMS from other interaction types for reporting and customer analytics.
Common SMS business drivers
SMS in large part has already reached "established" status in the business sector. Banks, for instance, have used SMS-based alerts now for years to notify customers of new services, account overdrafts etc. Mobile telco carriers alert their subscribers to service updates. And Google SMS has opened the door to information on thousands of consumer products with its portable FAQs. Perhaps more than any communications media to date, SMS allows companies of any size and shape to converge established business practices with creativity — meaning the possibilities for SMS are limitless. Consider these common SMS business drivers for example.
Goods and services 'over the Internet': Inviting customers to make purchases using their mobile phones transforms a business from "over the counter" and normal business hours to "over the Internet" at the customer's convenience and location. Along with expanding a business's market reach, providing options such as mobile payment makes the service experience seamless and more accepted by mobile consumers. Two industry findings from 2009 are telling: in a survey of 2,000 SMS subscribers, 67% of survey respondents said they would consider purchasing goods and services such as CDs, books, movie tickets, take-out food and travel tickets (airlines, car rentals, etc.) via their mobile phone, while 61% of mobile commerce revenues were the result of repeat purchases (source: "Mobile and SMS Statistics," attentiondigital.com).
Mobile marketing: Business still comes down to customer relationships. To a business' advantage, SMS makes marketing and advertising more personal because contact is made using a customer's most personal belonging - their mobile phone. Merchants can tailor their marketing messages to the individual, send messages at a specific time and to the person's location, and respond to questions or comments immediately, thus creating a strong bond with each customer.
Employee collaboration: At a basic level, SMS can drive message delivery to employees and bypass a mobile email system. As an organization sends text messages to staff globally, employees can reply directly via text with two-way communications. At an advanced level, collaboration is more user-specific in that newer SMS applications are introducing features such as integrated presence management. Using SMS, employees can change their presence status, check the status of other employees, set up a meeting or conference call (numbers, date, time), and perform other functions that increase their availability to co-workers as well as customers and business partners.
Transport and logistics: Mobile phones and SMS are a natural fit for logistics. Among the possibilities - notify a field service technician of the time and location of their next call, notify a delivery driver of the address of their next pickup, track shipments internationally etc.
Notifications and data distribution: Using SMS for sending notifications and distributing data is beneficial to virtually any type of business, although the healthcare industry provides a key example. In the hands of doctors, nurses and medical staff, SMS text messaging is far more descriptive, and responsive, than traditional paging processes — especially when critical alerts must be issued.
Remote system monitoring: Remote system monitoring has become a practical solution especially for distributed organizations, and SMS alerts can be useful to notify a system administrator of a certain condition if warranted during the monitoring process. For example, use SMS in conjunction with a program that pings a server at scheduled intervals; the program can send an SMS alert automatically should the server ever malfunction.
All the above makes a strong business case for Middle East businesses to start harnessing the tremendous potential of SMS technology.

Former Chadian dictator Hissene Habre [BBC backgrounder] will stand trial next month for alleged crimes against humanity, Senegal's Justice Minister Aminata Toure confirmed Tuesday. Senegal's national assembly adopted a law in December allowing Senegal to create a special tribunal [JURIST report] with the African Union (AU) [official website], which has already been offered financial support by Belgium. The trial is expected to start in early February. Habre's accusations include torture, crimes against humanity and war crimes committed during his eight-year rule from 1982 to 1990.
Habre fled to Senegal after being deposed in 1990 and denies charges of killing and torturing tens of thousands of his opponents after coming to power in a bloody coup in 1982. The AU began talks with Senegal to come up with a plan for Habre's trial after the International Court of Justice (ICJ) [official website] ruled [JURIST report] in July that Senegal must either try Habre promptly or extradite him to Belgium for trial. The court's legally binding order also noted that Senegal had failed to make serious efforts to prosecute Habre, who has been been under house arrest there since 2005. In March lawyers for the Belgian government asked [JURIST report] the ICJ to force Senegal to bring Habre to trial in Belgium. In July 2011 Senegal reversed its decision to deport Habre [JURIST report] back to Chad after UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay [official profile] warned of possible torture. That month Pillay issued the plea [JURIST report] to stay Habre's deportation to Chad after the nation's courts sentenced him to death in absentia.

They met in 1999 when south Tempe resident Conrad J. Storad was promoting his award-winning children's book, Don't Call Me Pig, at Border's Books & Music in Mesa.
Lynda Exley, also a southTemperesident, was the store's public-relations manager, and they struck up a friendship.
When Exley left Border's, the two went separate ways for more than 10 years until Storad signed on with a new publisher, Linda Radke of Five Star Publications, who suggested that he partner with an award-winning freelance writer and editor she knew to help him write a children's book celebrating Arizona's 100th birthday.
And that's how Exley and Storad came to form a writing collaboration that resulted in two official Arizona Centennial Legacy Project books: Arizona Way Out West & Wacky and Arizona Way Out West & Witty: Library Edition, which just won recognition as a 2012 OnebookAZ for Kids as declared by Secretary of State Ken Bennett.
Beginning in March, the Onebook program will encourage children in communities across the state to read Arizona Way Out West & Witty, and to participate in discussions and programs centered on its contents.
"If Arizona gave out Academy Awards for children's books, earning (the Onebook award) would be its equivalent," says Exley. "I can't imagine a greater honor."
The book is a humorous children's history and activity book designed to make learning enjoyable for grade-schoolers. It deliversArizonahistory with a side of fun by including gross, interesting and wacky stories and facts about the state, as well as crossword puzzles, games, recipes, crafts and other amusements.
Ideal for teachers and homeschoolers, the book also contains a curriculum guide for additional suggestions. In addition, schools and libraries that order a minimum of 30 copies receive a "Copies for Life" certificate of permission that allows them to copy pages from the book for official school use. Personal use and sharing copied material is prohibited.
The major difference between Way Out West & Witty and Way Out West & Wacky is that Wacky has coloring pages and does not contain a curriculum guide.
"We wrote Wacky first," said Radke. "Librarians fell in love with it, but they were concerned children would write in the book. So at their urging, we redesigned Wacky specifically for libraries. Arizona Way Out West & Witty: Library Edition still has a ton of fun activities. It just discourages children from marking in the book."
Beginning in January, Storad and Exley will travel the state, visiting schools, libraries and other facilities to teach children about Arizona History through presentations, activities and readings. At times, they will be accompanied by Johnny "JR" Ringo, Arizona's state mammal mascot, a full-sized ringtail and costume character.
Arizona Way Out West and Witty: Library Edition, and Arizona Way Out West & Wacky are endorsed by Official Arizona State Historian Marshall Trimble. They retail for $11.95 each and are is distributed by Ingram, Baker & Taylor, Pacific Four Sales and are available at Amazon.com, BarnesAndNoble.com and bookstores and gift shops across the state.
Additional information about the books and the authors is posted at www.AZWOWW.com . To book the authors and "JR" for a school visit or other event, contact Five Star Publications at 480-940-8182 or firstname.lastname@example.com .

Baking Soda is one of the most effective remedies when it comes to treating hair problems. It can strengthen your hair, make it voluminous, and get rid of dandruff.
Here's a look at the benefits of baking soda on hair health:
- Baking Soda Removes Product Residue
You can easily get rid of any remains from other hair treatment products using baking soda, thereby promoting hair and scalp hygiene.
- Baking Soda Removes Chlorine
If you are a swimmer or work in a chlorine-based environment, you should know that baking soda is effective in eliminating any chlorine leftovers and keeping your hair clean and in good shape. Chlorine is very bad to the hair and it can even change its colour.
- Baking Soda Supports Hair Growth
Baking soda can help you deal with weak and slowly growing hair. Namely, baking soda serves as a natural stimulator to the hair roots, allowing them to move around more rapidly. This eventually results in a long, strong, and healthy hair.
You're advised to use the following recipe on a daily basis if you are looking to remove any hair and scalp dirt within no time:
- Mix some baking soda and water (ratio 1:3) in a small spray bottle.
- You may need more of this mixture for longer hair, but for medium-long hair, it is advisable to mix a tablespoon of baking soda with 6 tablespoons of water.
- Apply this remedy on moist or dry hair, starting from the roots and moving downwards.
- Leave the remedy to act for some minutes before rinsing with lukewarm water.
Alternatively, you can wash your hair using a mixture of apple cider vinegar and water (ratio 1:4). Consider adding some drops of your preferred essential oil to enrich the aroma. Apply this remedy on your hair, keeping your head leaning backwards to prevent the mixture from getting into your eyes.
There is no remedy that is as cheap and more effective as baking soda. Just give it a try!

On Memorial Day in 1886, my great great grandfather's sister, Ellen (Whelton) Crowley,
was killed by her husband, Patrick, in their home in Peabody, Essex Co., Massachusetts.
The following newspaper clippings are from the Salem Evening News' coverage of the
case. The dates are those upon which the article appeared in the paper.
You'll notice that the date after the murder, June 1, when the story would no doubt
have been big breaking news,is missing. The paper for this date was missing when the
microfilm was made (just my luck, eh?).
Note: The clippings are in .gif format and may take some time to load
for those of you (like me) on slower dial-up connections. My apologies if they are
difficult to read. I did the best I could with scans of copies of old microfilm.

Morgan Lander has been the lead singer and rhythm guitarist in landmark Canadian metal outfit Kittie since the band's inception 15 years ago. Catapulted to superstardom while still in high school, Morgan Lander, her younger sister Mercedes and the other founding members found themselves contending with the realities of the music industry at an incredibly young age. Since that auspicious beginning, Kittie have remained a fixture in the Canadian music scene, as the members have matured from precocious teenagers to sophisticated and intelligent adults. Talking to Morgan about the highs and lows of her unique experience in the music industry, from someone who has both glimpsed stardom and dealt with the daily realities of heavy metal, was an illuminating experience. Morgan is a bright, capable, tough and intelligent woman both on stage and off, and I was delighted she was able to find the time to talk to Girls Don't Like Metal.
* * *
You and your sister, Mercedes (along with Tanya Candler on bass and Fallon Bowman on lead guitar), began Kittie when you were incredibly young (by my calculations, you were about 14 and Mercedes was even younger). What was it like having a hit single in "Brackish," and ultimately releasing a seminal record in Canadian heavy music history, Spit, when you were still in high school?
What a strange life that we have all led. We went from complete obscurity, and high school, to world-wide recognition and fame, basically overnight. I liken the experience back then to being in the eye of a hurricane. Within our camp — our travelling and working circle — things seemed relatively calm and normal. We were four young girls without much life experience who were whisked away into this unbelievable world of travel, concerts, praise and adoration. At the time, our parents were heavily involved in the day to day and the management side of things, which protected our best interests and our mental and physical state. They did their best to try and bestow a sense of "normalcy" while living this vagabond, travelling lifestyle. We were essentially very young, eager and naive, and we just sort of went with it.
Outside the eye of this musical storm, however, there was chaos and intensity, and things seemed to grow beyond our comprehension. It was soon more than what our imaginations could have ever envisioned. There wasn't a lot of sleep and everything seemed out of proportion and stressful. We crammed a lifetime's worth of travel and experience into one year. It was quite an eye-opening, unbelievable time, and I am forever changed by the things I've seen, and been a part of. It's hard to believe it even happened at all.
You mentioned in an interview with About Heavy Metal, conducted by Chad Bower, that the greatest misconception people had about Kittie was: "we are the same now as we were in 1999. A lot of people have the wrong idea about the band. We're not 16 anymore; we're grown women." It strikes me that growing up, becoming an adult, in such an incredibly public manner would have been a unique and extremely difficult challenge, especially in relation to your gender and sexuality.
It has been a surreal experience, essentially growing up in the public eye, and one that hasn't come without personal struggles and lessons. Early on, I must admit that I, as well as the other girls, felt pressure to attain a certain type of a physical aesthetic, one that I quickly found out was near- impossible. As a woman in music, and even more so metal, I found it disturbing that essentially we were being judged not by our accomplishments and our musical merit, but by our looks, the way we dressed, our weight, etc. We were labelled "the pretty one," "the ugly one," "the exotic one," etc., labels that were all meant to shame us or pick us apart. At the age of 17, that's a lot to handle.
I felt like we were being reduced to tits, ass and a short skirt, and nowhere was there talk of the accomplishments we had and music we made. I quickly realized that if I wanted to be taken seriously, we had to walk a fine line between feminine and masculine. At that point, I was much more concerned with our music and credibility, and for a few years, I made a point to dress more "masculine." I shaved my head and wore no make-up as sort of an act of rebellion. I didn't want to be viewed as an object and was angry at the portrayal of the band in the news.
This is all to say that it has been a huge struggle to overcome the way we have been portrayed and over the past 12 years we have made so much progress as musicians and songwriters, and a lot of it has to do with perception and image. We hope that we can also be appreciated for the things we are doing now, too.
We received more praise and criticism for that first album than we have over the duration of our entire careers; we were vilified and heralded as the "anti-Britney." We were called geniuses and a gimmick; we were accused of sleeping our way to a record deal or not writing our songs. Our merit and validity as a real band were time and time again called into question, and this is the perception we have continued to deal with, unfortunately. If I sound in any way bitter, I am. It's been a struggle to overcome the negative slant that many mainstream media outlets put on Spit and "prove" ourselves as a viable band worthy of praise and appreciation within the metal community. We have always been considered outsiders, in a way, and have had a hell of a time being taken seriously.
You are Mercedes have been the two static members in Kittie for 15 years now. How has the band changed and defined your relationship as sisters and as fellow musicians?
Mercedes and I are wildly different personalities: she is the more outgoing, boisterous, social one of the two of us. It's these differences that make for a very interesting dynamic within the band and with our relationship. But she's sort of like the Cher to my Sonny, so to speak. The bond we have goes much deeper than just blood; we can communicate with each other, both musically and even non-verbally, in a way that most people can't. We are close enough that I know what her next move is going to be and I think, if anything, our bond has been strengthened by the exercise of creativity that we've had since the band's inception. We are best friends and we know that regardless of what happens, it will be her and I left standing at the end.
Kittie have always exclusively featured female members (barring Jeff Phillips's stint in the band before going off to Thine Eyes Bleed). Has this been a deliberate choice related to your brand and image?
When we formed the band in 1996, we really had no idea about the implications being an "all-girl band" would have, nor did we understand the weight and responsibility that would carry. We had no idea that it would be such a source of debate. We were just a group of friends who wanted to get together and learn and have fun making music. It was all very innocent and our initial intentions were exactly that; we had no agenda in mind at all. Over the years, as we've grown up, we've come to respect the power that being an all-female band has and also the fear and controversy it generates; it has been both an advantage and somewhat of a disadvantage. Again, it's a fine line that we walk: knowing the importance of our unique situation while not wanting to be pigeonholed for the very thing that makes us unique. I suppose that we have wanted to adhere to the original format that we unknowingly created some 16 years ago while proving that, with the addition of Jeff, the gender of the personnel in the band isn't what makes us Kittie. I want us to always be judged on musical merits alone.
While the term "confessional" sometimes can carry derogatory connotations (which I in no way want to convey), Kittie's lyrics often strike me as deeply personal and tend to swing between anthems of strength and camaraderie, and songs that chronicle pain and healing. How autobiographical is the songwriting?
The songwriting is almost always autobiographical in nature. I've always felt most comfortable connecting emotionally with things I have experienced firsthand and expressing them in our music, rather than writing something fictitious with more of a storyline. Kittie, from the beginning, have drawn our strength from raw emotion and the feeling the lyrics evoke, rather than the strength of the words themselves.
On our most recent album, I've Failed You, I tried to be a bit more open and honest with myself and my lyrics to work through a difficult period in my life. Everything I had known was turned upside down, and I was basically left to start over. I felt like being much more literal and less veiled was going to be the only way that I could truly express the way I was feeling, which in turn gave I've Failed You a bit of a different vibe compared to our previous releases.
Kittie have always maintained a relentless and aggressive touring schedule. You will soon be playing two shows in London and Toronto, then going to Australia to play dates, as well as the Soundwave festival, before returning to tour the U.S., effectively keeping you on the road from February to the end of May. How do you prepare for a marathon like that?
Lots of practice and lots of crying [laughs]! In all honesty, gearing up for a huge tour like that, for us, anyways, involves more than just making sure we are well rehearsed. We have to take care of transportation, visas, CWAs and hiring crew, among a million other things. We are usually up to our necks in paperwork well before the first note is played in the practice space. But once we have all of the finer details in place, it's just all about making sure the ladies and I are comfortable with the set, that my voice is in good shape and that we have everything in order to leave for that amount of time. There isn't a magical secret, other than: catch up on sleep now because you aren't getting any for six weeks!
Last year you played at the Gathering of the Juggalos, which may as well have been playing on Neptune for how far away it is from my concept of reality. What was that experience like?
I will preface this by saying that when we were first offered a slot opening for ICP in early 2010, I was vehemently against the idea. I had heard horror stories and thought it would be bad judgement on our part to want to participate in a cross-genre tour like that. Needless to say I was eventually outvoted and we went into Juggalo country.
After seeing and experiencing the group and how professional they are, the magnitude of their show and the devotion of the fans, we gladly accepted their invitation to be a part of the Gathering last year and, this time, went deeper into Juggalo country. The Gathering is unlike anything you've ever experienced organized into a festival: absolute debauchery, lawlessness, excessive drug use, pageantry, fanaticism and people from all walks of life. It's like a demented circus, where the audience is actually the entertainment — the people-watching is the best. We really felt quite out of our element, but the show went well; we had such a blast and the crowds really enjoyed our set and welcomed us with open arms. We would do it again in a heartbeat!
Your most recent album is titled I've Failed You. Who have you failed? Or who has the speaker of that fictional/poetic statement failed?
I've Failed You is, as I said before, a deeply personal and very apologetic album. It's an album full of regrets and ill-made choices, of watching those that you love suffer, of that love gone wrong. I've failed myself and those I love; I've failed to protect them.
What is your relationship like with your fan base? Do you feel pressure to create a certain type of music in a specific genre? What kind of a relationship do you actively work towards fostering with your fans?
While I would say that the four of us aren't the hippest and most tech-savvy band in the world, we certainly pride ourselves on the level of personal interaction that we have with our fans and listeners. Since our inception, we have made sure that we are the ones in control of our careers, image, music and presence, be that online or in print. We update our website, control our Twitter and Facebook page, own our publishing and merchandise rights, run the company and manage ourselves. I think all of that gives us a true sense of our identity and also allows the band to have a unique platform on which we position ourselves. We have always been wary about the public's perception of us and we feel that being able to interact with fans, answer questions and even go as far as to get to know them on a first-name basis has allowed us to be more real and human to them. We want our fans to get a sense of who we are as people, and the way we interact with them reflects that. We are down-to-earth, easy-going, generous and don't take ourselves too seriously.
What advice would you have for women, especially young women, who hope to build a career in the heavy metal industry? What advice would you give to an aspiring performer?
I believe the best advice that I can give to anyone, women included, is be good at what you do. Be proud, work hard, talk to people, but first and foremost, practice and hone your craft. This is essential to getting anywhere. Also, I know it sounds cliché, but the "don't take shit from anyone" adage really is useful and important when dealing with this industry, especially if your desire is to be a performer. People are going to tell you that you suck, people are going to tell you that you don't belong, people are going to ask you, "whose girlfriend are you?" at your gig. Ignore it, rise above it, because the best revenge is getting up on that stage and being great at what you do.
That being said, another piece of advice I'd give is educate yourself on how this industry is run, so you know what you're getting into before you sign a deal, get a manager or anything. It is backwards, strange, cutthroat and not at all the glamorous facade that it's made out to be.
Kittie plays this Friday, February 17th at London City Music Hall, London, ON, and Saturday, February 18th at The Opera House, Toronto.

Signs of Dry Eye and Numerous Procedures

Dry eye is an extremely typical eye condition, having an effect on virtually half the basic populace to some degree. There are many elements involved in the development of dry eye signs, some of which may be surprising. Risk elements for dry eyes consist of genetic predisposition, age, long-term computer system usage and dietary plan.
Signs of completely dry eye can vary from patient to patient. Scratchy eyes, scratchy eyes, a sandy or foreign physical body feeling in examination, soreness, as well as excessive tearing could be signs of completely dry eye disorder. In fact, since excess splits is such an usual yet confounding symptom, some practitioners are relocating away from the term "completely dry eye" and beginning to make use of alternative expressions like "tear film deficiency.".
Tear film deficiency is a more precise term than completely dry eye syndrome, due to the fact that the hiddening cause of completely dry eye symptoms is associated with the tears that are supposed to safeguard and oil examinations.
Detecting completely dry eye syndrome or tear movie deficiency is largely based upon the patients' description of their signs. Nevertheless, there are various other clues of tear movie insufficiency that we depend upon to make a medical diagnosis and establish the most suitable treatment strategy. Analyzing the surface of the cornea can reveal damage of the cells. There are unique eye drops and visual assistances that eye doctors can use to help this process. It is likewise possible to determine how lengthy the tear film lasts on examination, or whether the tears are blinked away as well quickly. At times, the trouble is that the rips vaporize too rapidly since the protective oil covering of the tear film is faulty, so the eyelids and their oil glandulars are additionally reviewed during a completely dry eye exam.
Dry eye treatment relies on the hiddening cause. In many cases, signs can be handled by transforming behavior, like consuming additional water or giving up smoking cigarettes, if suitable; and altering the setting, by adding a humidifier to a dry home, is one more example. Mild cases can be snacked by utilizing over the counter oiling eye drops. If allergic reactions are the underlying source, a straightforward antihistamine might assist, but some antihistamines have a drying out effect, so they might require lubing drops also. A lot more intense cases often tend not to respond well to nonprescription eye goes down. For those patients, our eye doctors at specified facts could recommend prescribed eye drops for completely dry eyes.
Dry eye syndrome is a lot more usual than lots of commonly believed, yet people don't have to experience tear film deficiency, due to the fact that there are several therapies for dry eye an optometrist can suggest.


text: After my granddad past away I given all of his AV equipment. Old video, audio and photo kit. His more modern stuff I sold and I kept the older items. Due to the size and amount of some of the items I had to leave them at my dads and collect a bit, sort it out, collect some more and so on. I've gone through it camera collection, sold all his digi kit but kept the Nikon and canon film units for my own use. I got 1 more 35mm film to use up then i'll send off all rolls. be a total of 6 rolls of 35mm film to develop. The first trip to my dads I brought back the slides and projector. A total of 700 slides ranging from the 60s to the 00s. Nothing interesting really, just some pics of the family and loads of pics of bristol in the 60s to the 00s. This trip brought back something a bit more interesting to share and its something I need some info and help on. My dad does not mind what I do with this kit, so i'm going to keep whats interesting to me and flog/give away the rest. I brought back this box of what I thought was full up of 8mm and Super 8mm films but it also has what I think is 8mm audio tape, 2 8mm handy cams and a slide viewer. Here is some images. The box. First box with in the box had this in it. No idea on its value, if it works or any thing. I don't even know if I can still get super 8mm tape to test it out. Any information on any thing would be a great help. Next item is another 8mm camera but a little bit more modern and it takes 8mm cartridges. Again, no idea about it working or if I can get the cartridges. Apart from reels and reels of Audio and video tape with no markings on it there was a hand full with some writing on it. 2 seemed really interesting. Is this Beatles Abbey Road Album Ziggy Stardust album And a Laurel & Hardy Movie There is several movies about bristol Zoo from the 60s & 70s. I will contact Bristol Zoo and see if its of any use to them. I'm waiting on some parts to get this projector working I need some help and advice on the audio tapes. Does any know what sort of player I need to play the audio? Also, check the folks lofts cause I don't mind having a faulty one and get it working, thats where the projector came from. Thanks for reading.

Some at UA have winter classes
Not all of the Wildcats are free of academics this week, but the focus is still mostly on basketball now that the fall semester is over. "A few of our guys have winter classes, but most of us are on break and don't have to worry about school or anything like that," guard Nick Johnson said.
"There's not too much going around as far as school activities. There's not too many people here, just the locals. So it's definitely a lot easier to focus."
Only 2 homes games for ORU so far
The Golden Eagles have played just two of their nine games at home so far this season, which is a way of life for the Golden Eagles. "We've gotta go on the road and play 'buy' games" to raise money, coach Scott Sutton said.
"And it's hard to get teams to come in and play us." There's a reason - the Golden Eagles are a perennially scary midmajor team. They won 64-42 at Xavier last December (when Mark Lyons was suspended for his role in the Xavier-Cincinnati brawl) and this season, when they persuaded Oklahoma to play them in Tulsa in exchange for two games at Norman, they nearly beat the Sooners.
Sutton hires brother as assistant
Sutton offered not only a job, but a new start, to his brother, Sean Sutton, before last season. Formerly the head coach at Oklahoma State, Sean Sutton pleaded guilty to felony charges of illegally obtaining prescription drugs in 2010. But he was cleared of them a year later after he checked into a rehabilitation center and completed other requirements of probation.
Scott Sutton then hired Sean as an assistant coach before the 2011-12 season. "He's doing great," Scott Sutton said.
"It's great to have him. It's kind of like having a head coach be one of your assistants. I know he's appreciative of the opportunity he's been given and he'll be a head coach again."
• The series: Arizona has never played Oral Roberts.
• Oral Roberts overview: The Golden Eagles had something of an overhaul after winning 27 games last season, losing three starters and moving from the Summit League to the Southland Conference. But Oral Roberts has two returning starters, prolific scoring guard Warren Niles and big man Damen Bell-Holter, along with a skilled power forward in Steven Roundtree, who was a regular part of the rotation. Those three, and Utah transfer Shawn Glover, all average in double figures. Inside, Roundtree and Bell-Holter are good offensive rebounders. Roundtree is a strong face-up shooter while Bell-Holter is a physical presence near the basket. Glover is a big small forward while Niles is able to score from anywhere on the court. At point guard, Oral Roberts starts the pass-first D.J. Jackson but gets scoring and energy from Korey Billbury off the bench. Defensively, the Golden Eagles run predominantly a man-to-man with an emphasis on help defense.
Warren Niles
Oral Roberts
Yes, these numbers are for real: A 20.9 scoring average, 55.3-percent field-goal shooting, 51.9-percent three-point shooting and 85.7 percent free-throw shooting. So it's no wonder the Golden Eagles run a lot of plays for him.
Brandon Ashley
After he went scoreless against Florida, the freshman tweeted that he didn't play well but was "proud of my bros" for the win. He might be motivated tonight. Ashley has often followed a quiet game with a strong performance.
Numbers game
Straight games Warren Niles has scored 21 points for Oral Roberts.
Years since UA started a season 9-0 (they were 12-0 in 1987-88)
Average points allowed by the Wildcats in their past three games
He said it
"(The Golden Eagles) certainly run their fair share of plays for (Niles), and he's very crafty and changes speeds really well. He's an older guy who has been playing this game for a while and he's the center point of their offense. The two frontcourt players (Roundtree and Bell-Holter) are terrific scorers and terrific rebounders. … They've got good players. When you play a team like Oklahoma, they force you to make plays, but that didn't rattle them at all."
UA assistant coach James Whitford, who scouted Oral Roberts
