Millers Falls Company Arises From Nash's
Mills Ashes
Two Greenfield Machinists Found Small Tool Industry After Series of
By Thomas W. Merrigan
A water-powered clothes wringer plant which grew into a multi-million-dollar
business enterprise known throughout the world. That is the Millers Falls Company,
Greenfield's second largest employer which is nearing its own centennial.
The history of this firm, with branches in two Franklin County towns, is an
unusual sage of struggle against the elements. It started with nothing except
an idea in the brains of two Greenfield machinists and with practically no competition.
Today it thrives in a field which is fiercely competitive but in which its reputation
for craftsmanship makes it a dominant force.
The vision of the founders and the willingness of succeeding owners to venture
into new lines are paramount reasons for the Millers Falls Company's attainment
of the position it holds now in the small tools industry. Its willingness to
keep trying something new and thus outpace competitors has been demonstrated
innumerable times since the Millers Falls Company was established in 1868 at
Grout's Corner, now Millers Falls.
In those days that territory was little more than wilderness and the men who
setup shop there were looked on with curiosity. The attempts of Levi J. Gunn
and Charles Amidon to establish a manufacturing firm in Greenfield had met with
consistent bad luck. But with advice and money from Henry L. Pratt, a lumber
operator with a keen business mind, they chose a new site next to the Millers
River because of excellent water power and their persistence paid dividends.
Amidon and Gunn were fellow workmen in the Greenfield Tool Company in the 1860's
and decided there was a profitable future in the manufacture of clothes wringers.
They set up a plant at Nash's Mill Pond with the Cherry Rum brook as a source
of water power. But first the brook ran dry and then $300 worth of wringers
they had stored in a barn were destroyed by fire.
Fires Dog Them
In 1865 they were joined by an ingenious man named William Barber whose idea
for an iron bit brace was snapped up by Amidon and Gunn. With Barber they manufactured
this tool at their Cherry Rum Brook plant where the waters had again risen to
normal. This was the actual beginning of what was later the Millers Falls Company,
but fire again interrupted the efforts of these men when the North Parish mill
was ruined by flames that swept the structure. After this disaster Gunn and
Amidon resumed operations in a section of the Greenfield Tools Company before
flames once again proved their downfall.
When they started production of iron bit braces, their plant turned out 18
a day but capacity had rapidly increased to many times that number when fire
After that fire at the Greenfield Tool Company Amidon and Gunn, backed by Henry
L. Pratt, moved to Millers Falls where a one-story brick building, 250 feet
long and 50 feet wide, was built of brick. This structure, which has been elevated
to two stories, still stands among the many buildings since added to the firm's
physical layout in Millers Falls.
Despite setbacks and the skeptical observations of the few people living in
that community, the Millers Falls Manufacturing Company, as it was known from
1868 to 1872, managed to make a substantial place in the small tools field.
Hand drills, breast drills, bit braces and tool holders got their start at this
plant where the Millers Falls Company was eventually to add a series of new
buildings and many new lines.
The Millers Falls Company in 1916 purchased the Ford Auger Bit Company of Holyoke
and moved both equipment and some employes to Millers Falls where a complete
line of auger bits was produced. The firm continued to make auger bits until
1946 when this product was discontinued and the line sold to another firm.
Continuing a policy of expansion into newer lines and broadening of production
capacity, the company in 1920 purchased the plant and assets of the West Haven
(Conn.) Manufacturing Company which had for many years manufactured the Universal
hacksaw blades. This was operated for a time as a subsidiary and in the years
that followed hacksaw blades were added to the Millers Falls Company lines as
well as small nail sets and other small tools.
The booming automobile age didn't catch Millers Falls Company officials napping.
They voted in 1920 to purchase the National Machine Company of Brattleboro where
truck and car jacks were manufactured for about 12 years before these items
were discontinued because these products did not prove a profitable addition
to the company operation.
Two new lines were added in 1926 with the purchase of the Accurate Level Company
of Detroit. In this same year electric tools were taken on as a new product
and this line has expanded so rapidly that is it one of the major items turned
out by the company today. The following year a full line of planes were also
Add Goodell-Pratt
The biggest single, advancement made by the Millers Falls Company was in 1931
when it acquired the Goodell-Pratt Company which occupied the present Greenfield
plant and general offices on Wells Street. Goodell-Pratt manufactured many precision
tools such as micrometers, measuring scales, thickness gages and other small
tools that were taken over by the Millers Falls Company. The building on Wells
Street provided the company with twice as much floor space and an opportunity
to compete more successfully with a variety of products that had already gained
a favorable reputation in the industry.
Goodell-Pratt Company was founded in 1888 by Albert and Henry Goodell in Shelburne
Falls. Three years later upon moving to Greenfield it was incorporated as the
Goodell Brothers Company. In 1897 it became Goodell-Pratt Company and employed
16 persons, reaching its peak during World War 1 with 740 employes.
Albert Goodell, who had the principal share in the founding of the company,
had been a superintendent in the Millers Falls Company and his brother, Henry,
was a foreman before they established their own firm.
War Brings Expansion
World War 11 brought about the biggest increase in production and employes
that the Millers Falls Company has ever seen. Almost overnight new equipment
was needed to meet the country's defense requirements, a round-the-clock work
force was organized and the company found itself undergoing a severe test to
keep up with the government's requests for new materials.
Civilian production was suspended during the war years when the items turned
out by the company were routed to manufacturing plants requiring tools for defense
production and to American and other Allied military outfits throughout the
Vitally needed by armed forces and defense plants alike were electric drills,
saws and screw drivers, and steel for these was given a high priority. Micrometers,
needed by every machine shop in the country producing war materials, were turned
out by the thousands, along with many portable electric tools. Bit braces from
Millers Falls Company averaged 6,000 to 8,000 a week but these quickly numbered
in the twenty-thousands while hand and breast plate drills increased equally
as much.
In one instance a federal inspector urged the plant to double its production
of auger bits or else the government would construct a plant of its own. The
company met Washington's request but again was asked to double production because
the need for these bits was so acute.
Met Peace Needs, Too
The Millers Falls Company was in a more favorable post-war position than most
industries because it manufactured tools that were badly needed during the tremendous
residential and industrial boom that followed. Thousands of veterans building
their own homes bought many tools necessary for construction, as did many large
contracting firms whose business activities were curtailed during the war.
With the increasing popularity of electric tools, the hand tool line began
to slacken but whenever possible employes were transferred to electric tool
departments where they learned this new trade. During the war there averaged
about 650 employes at each plant but the average now is between 500 and 600
employes at each place.
Since the war a new boiler plant has been built at the Millers Falls plant
where the original building has increased to 12. An extension has also been
added to the electric drill department while in Greenfield, where all tools
are shipped out, a new shipping building has been added.
Introduces Many Lines
The Millers Falls Company has been first to introduce many new lines of tools
during its 85 years. The power saw used today originated from an idea H. L.
Pratt had in 1890. The company was also first in turning out the first hand
drill, commercial mitre boxes, hacksaw frame, bench drills, extension bit holders,
auger handles, angular bit stocks, drill bit braces and many other new tools
that have proven successful on the market.
It produces a large variety of tools that would be a cause for the firm's early
founders to blink in amazement at the new wrinkles introduced into the small
tools industry. The company's products include such items as planes, bit braces,
hand drills, levels, screw drivers, grinders, hacksaw frames, electric drills,
keyhole saws, precision tools, forged tools, mitre boxes, hand and breast drills,
power hacksaws, hand hacksaw blades, electric saws, industrial sanders, combination
sets and many others. From these base designs the company also produces many
related types of sets that find a place in markets all over the world.
Much of the Millers Falls Company's worldwide sales in its early years resulted
from the efforts of Edward P. Stoughton who in 1869 became associated with Pratt
in the New York office.
George E. Rogers, father of the company president, Philip Rogers, joined the
company as secretary in 1872 and held the offices of treasurer, vice president
and finally general manager, a post he held until his death in 1915. He was
responsible for many of the firm's new tools.
Present Officers
In addition to Philip Rogers as president of the company, John W. Smead and
Clarence W. Otto are vice-presidents, Earl D. Holtby is treasurer and clerk
and Earle A. Brown is assistant treasurer. Directors are Rogers, Smead, Otto,
Kenneth H. Saunders, Holtby, Joseph T. Bartlett, Donald B. Swain and William
H. Shortell.
Since 1868 the Millers Falls Company has played an important role in the lives
of thousands of Franklin Country families. At the same time the skills of Franklin
County machinists have raised high the standards in production and capacity
of the Millers Falls Company.
The ability of management and employes down through the years to work together
is responsible for the traditional favorable relations between the two. Team
work and a spirit of family organization have contributed to the success of
management and employes in past years and with this type of association in the
future, the Millers Falls Company and its employes can hardly stray from the
path of prosperity.
There is currently no available "Beginner" label. The following is the default level label: This 1953 newspaper article from the Greenfield Recorder-Gazette in Greenfield, Massachusetts, describes how two Greenfield, Massachusetts machinists founded a small tool industry in the 1860's, after a series of disasters. The attempt by Levi Gunn and Charles Amidon to establish a manufacturing firm for wringer washers in Greenfield met with consistent back luck. First the brook supplying water power ran dry and then $300 worth of wringers, stored in a barn, were destroyed by fire. Undaunted by these obstacles, they joined with William Barber in 1865 to manufacture an iron bit brace, but several more fires again interrupted their efforts until they finally moved to a one-story brick building. The company continued to expand, with the biggest increase in production and employees taking place during World War II (WWII). Today, the company no longer exists.

The development of the flatbed inkjet printer market
Fabric Graphics | May 2010
By Tim Greene
One of the most important trends in the digital wide format market is the rapid development of the flatbed inkjet printer market. These printers offer improved economics and the ability to produce a wide range of applications. One common misconception about flatbed inkjet printers is that they only print on rigid media. In a recent survey, we found that owners of flatbed printers print onto rigid substrates about 25 percent of the time.
Frequently, flatbed inkjet printers have a roll-feed option that allows them to produce a wide range of applications. So, there is a need for flexible print media that performs well on these printers. The market for substrates for digital wide format printing has changed with a new range of rigid and flexible substrates that have been developed for wide format flatbed inkjet printing systems.
Value Vinyls, a family-owned company based in Dallas, Texas, has brought a series of innovative products to market to address the changing digital printing market. "We're seeing a surge in interest with our specialty products for signage applications, especially our PET 15 oz. Opaque Ultra-Smooth," says Lorna D'Alessio, director of sales for advertising media. "This is a complete blockout product manufactured without any scrim, so we avoid the curling that occurs on the sides of most unfinished signage. It is single- or double-side printable and compatible with UV, solvent and screen printing inks. The specially engineered versatility to lay flat makes this product work on flatbed printers, and the memory in the film helps it to correct itself and flatten when printed roll-to-roll. The surface is smooth, so it presents a more upscale appearance than standard PVC rolled media. It is specifically engineered to meet the necessary NFPA 701 requirements for indoor signage."
There are many options for digital printing these days as more printing companies enter the digital printing market. "We try to deliver products supporting printers to differentiate themselves from those who handle primarily what have unfortunately become commodity items for many suppliers," D'Alessio says. "We're acutely aware of the urgent need for printers to find more profitable ways to capture increasingly specialized projects."
At InfoTrends, we anticipate more portfolio expansion in 2010 as substrate manufacturers develop products designed to enable the production of a wide range of applications that printers want to produce. Specifically, we expect a lot of development of more flexible substrates for the wide format UV-curable inkjet printer market.

Comments are the opinion of individual posters and do not reflect the views of Fabric Graphics or Industrial Fabrics Association International.
Roll-fed option is a trend
If you take a look at recent flatbed models, you notice roll-to-roll mechanisms' popularity is increasing. Flatbed models from Oce, Gerber, Grapo, Mimaki, SwissQprint, SkyJet, Teckwin and others are now offering roll-to-roll capability.
I remember at SGIA 2009 the Gandinnovations Jeti 1224 was exhibited with a sturdy roll-to-roll system, but that was an upgrade of about US$80,000. The best design would be that on which you don't have to waste tons of media webbing it. A reasonable price would make you decide for a roll-fed upgrade to your flatbed instead of a dedicated roll-to-roll printer!

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
I got into a traffic accident on Sunday morning at 12:30am. I hit a telephone pole and left the scene. the cops came to my house but didn't issue a citation. They just said I was going to get a bill for the pole damage. I still haven't contacted my AAA insurance. What do I do?
My license plate was left at the scene. They said there were witnesses.
Since I wasn't issued a citation the night of the incident can they still come after me for a hit and run sentence and will I have to spend any time in jail. My car is totaled but I don't know what the damage est will be. I had liability insurance.
Yes, I drove the car home and put it in my garage. They came but just talked with me for about an hour. The cops left and said I would be getting a bill for the pole. Does it sound like I'm off the hook? Is it worth it to get an attorney at the point?
What would be the list of possible charges and what are the maximum sentences. I have had a DUI about 5 years ago. Also, do you know of any legal representation here in Anaheim, CA? I'm working but don't make much money. How much would you charge to represent me?
So these are the maximum sentences/charges and I won't see any additional charges, correct? Since this is my first hit and run I probably won't see any jail time correct? Can I get a transcript of this discussion?
Thank you! I'm really scared right now but I guess things could have been a lot worse.
One last question, what are some estimates on the pole damage and for the city of Placentia to repair the pole? A range would be fine.
Thanks for the feedback and have a great day!
I'll be giving you a 5 rating. How long do the have to seek these charges 6 months/1 year, etc.

|Potential contribution of a novel Tax epitope-specific CD4+ T cells to graft-versus-Tax effect in adult T cell leukemia patients after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
|Reference Detail
|Reference ID:
|Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is an effective treatment for adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) caused by human T cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1). We previously reported that Tax-specific CD8(+) cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) contributed to graft-versus-ATL effects in ATL patients after allo-HSCT. However, the role of HTLV-1-specific CD4(+) T cells in the effects remains unclear. In this study, we showed that Tax-specific CD4(+) as well as CD8(+) T cell responses were induced in some ATL patients following allo-HSCT. To further analyze HTLV-1-specific CD4(+) T cell responses, we identified a novel HLA-DRB1*0101-restricted epitope, Tax155-167, recognized by HTLV-1-specific CD4(+) Th1-like cells, a major population of HTLV-1-specific CD4(+) T cell line, which was established from an ATL patient at 180 d after allo-HSCT from an unrelated seronegative donor by in vitro stimulation with HTLV-1-infected cells from the same patient. Costimulation of PBMCs with both the identified epitope (Tax155-167) and known CTL epitope peptides markedly enhanced the expansion of Tax-specific CD8(+) T cells in PBMCs compared with stimulation with CTL epitope peptide alone in all three HLA-DRB1*0101(+) patients post-allo-HSCT tested. In addition, direct detection using newly generated HLA-DRB1*0101/Tax155-167 tetramers revealed that Tax155-167-specific CD4(+) T cells were present in all HTLV-1-infected individuals tested, regardless of HSCT. These results suggest that Tax155-167 may be the dominant epitope recognized by HTLV-1-specific CD4(+) T cells in HLA-DRB1*0101(+)-infected individuals and that Tax-specific CD4(+) T cells may augment the graft-versus-Tax effects via efficient induction of Tax-specific CD8(+) T cell responses.

Court Might Reveal Identity of Miami Rape Flier Author
Ohio Supreme Court has until Dec. 14 to consider settlement over sealing of case
The sealing of a criminal court case involving a former Miami University student who posted a "Top Ten Ways to Get Away with Rape" flier in a freshman dormitory now has the presiding judge defending his decision to the Ohio Supreme Court. And he's doing it with the help of the Butler County prosecutor who endorsed the secrecy. Robert Lyons, whose part-time job as the judge for Butler County Area I Court supplements his income as a practicing attorney, took the student's guilty plea to disorderly conduct on Nov. 8. At the request of the young man's lawyer, Dennis Deters, the judge ordered the case file and all printed references to the defendant's name sealed from public view. The order extended to paperwork generated by the Miami University Police Department. In effect, other than the press coverage it received, all record that the crime was committed and the perpetrator was brought to justice doesn't exist. Six days later, the Cincinnati Enquirer filed suit against Lyons with the Ohio Supreme Court. It said Lyons erred by issuing a "blanket" seal of the case. It said he failed to "find by clear and convincing evidence that the presumption of public access is outweighed by a higher interest" and further failed to conduct a hearing where the Enquirer could argue for public access. The Enquirer didn't mention in its initial report on the plea deal an intent to sue over the sealing, and to date it hasn't reported on its own lawsuit. Lyons was given until Dec. 14 to file an answer. What's weird is that Lyons is represented by Butler County's Prosecuting Attorney, Mike Gmoser. In Ohio, the county prosecutor serves as legal counsel for county government, county agencies and school districts — and represents them in court — as standard practice. As a private practitioner, though, Lyons specializes in defending people accused of drunken driving. Guess who sits at the opposing counsel's table in those cases? Yes, Gmoser's deputy prosecutors. Lyons' unusual role as defender and decider of DWI cases drew umbrage from Gmoser in March. According to the Hamilton Journal-News, Lyons the judge was about to rule on a motion to disallow the results of an Intoxilyzer 8000 blood-alcohol testing device in a DWI case. Lyons the lawyer, meanwhile, had challenged the validity of the machine in other cases, and his firm ran seminars about its failings. At Gmoser's request, a higher court judge in July ordered Lyons to step down from hearing 10 pending DWI cases. Last Thursday, in his initial response to the Enquirer's lawsuit to open the rape tipster's court file, Lyons hinted at the possibility of not fighting the suit. He asked to have until Dec. 14 to file a full response "so as to give settlement discussions an opportunity to come to fruition."

Suspended Frat Sues Miami U. for $10M
Phi Kappa Tau claims university unconstitutionally suspended it
UPDATE: 5:11 p.m. Updated with comment from Miami University spokeswoman.A Miami University fraternity that was suspended after an alleged fireworks battle led to police finding drugs when executing a search warrant has filed a lawsuit with the frat demanding $10 million from the university. The Phi Kappa Tau chapter at Miami university alleges in their lawsuit that university officials improperly suspended the fraternity, damaged its business and property and made libelous allegations out of "malice, hatred and ill will." The frat is suing for compensation as well as $10 million in punitive damages and attorneys fees. The Tuesday court filing demanded a trial by jury. The fraternity was suspended after members of the Phi Kappa Tau and Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternities allegedly threw lit fireworks between their two frat houses. When Oxford police officers tried to investigate, students refused to let them into the houses without warrants. So the police got warrants. According to the filing, inside the Phi Kappa Tau house police found fireworks, a baggy of marijuana and two pipes. The lawsuit alleges that the university improperly suspended the fraternity because it did so in the absence of any written complaint. It claims that there are no police complaints or charges as of the lawsuit's filing. The suit also alleges that the university recklessly made false statements damaging the reputation of the fraternity and causing some of its members "severe emotional distress." Miami University spokeswoman Claire Wagner declined to comment on the lawsuit. However, she said the school's student code allows the Dean of Students or a designee to issue a summary suspension without a written complaint if there is a pending investigation. She said the university, as well as Oxford fire and police, are investigating the incident.

Obama Campaign to Open Oxford Office Before Ryan Visit
Presumed GOP VP nominee to visit alma mater Miami Wednesday
Preempting the Wednesday homecoming of presumed Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan to his alma mater Miami University, the Obama campaign is opening an office in Oxford Tuesday evening. The guest speaker at the office opening will be Butler County Democratic Party Chairwoman Jocelyn Bucaro who, according to a news release, will contrast the competing visions of President Barack Obama and his presumptive Republican challenger, Mitt Romney. "The Romney-Ryan budget would devastate the security of senior citizens — ending Medicare as we know it by turning the program into a voucher system and privatizing Social Security," the release read.Along with a Milford office which is also opening Tuesday, the Oxford office with contribute to the total of nine campaign offices in the region. The Obama campaign has offices in East Walnut Hills, College Hill, Forest Park, Cheviot, Middletown, Springboro and Mason. Wisconsin U.S. Rep. Ryan will speak Wednesday evening at Miami University's Engineering Quad, according to the Miami College Republicans' Facebook page.

Buyer beware! Cincinnati police are investigating reports of several hundred counterfeit tickets to Thursday's Opening Day game. The Cincinnati Reds say the tickets were sold on the streets in the lead up to the game versus the Marlins. At least 47 of the bogus tickets were collected when people tried to use them at the gate.Government, business and civic leaders are mulling a proposal to ask Hamilton County voters to raise the sales tax to help fund the operation and maintenance of the region's arts institutions. If a sales tax is proposed, voters could be asked to increase the current 6.5 percent sales tax by either one-quarter or one-half of a cent. Beneficiaries of the revenue might include the Museum Center at Union Terminal, Music Hall, the Cincinnati Art Museum and the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden.Cincinnati Police Chief James Craig congratulated 10 at-risk youth Saturday who are the city's first boot camp graduates. The students from Rothenberg School were formally recognized for graduating from the first official Children in Trauma Intervention Boot Camp.A Pennsylvania man and two Illinois homeowners are suing Cincinnati-based Fifth Third Bank and six mortgage insurers, alleging the bank got "kickbacks" from the insurers in violation of federal law. Fifth Third had arrangements with the insurers under which they bought "reinsurance" from the bank, according to the complaint. From 2004 to 2011, Fifth Third received $54 million in reinsurance premium payments from insurers and paid out $4.9 million in claims.A fraternity at Miami University is suspended from operations at the Oxford campus. Sigma Chi has been told to move out of their chapter house by their national headquarters. Officials didn't release details of the suspension, only stating it's the result of some kind of inappropriate behavior. Fraternity members have until Wednesday to move out. Let the speculation begin. In news elsewhere, Sunnis and Kurds in Iraq are criticizing U.S. policy toward their nation. They say the Obama administration is ignoring Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's increasingly authoritarian behavior. Since U.S. troops withdrew in December, Maliki has extended his reach to take on his political rivals, drawing accusations from Iraq's Sunni and Kurdish minorities that he is intent on establishing a dictatorship.Comedian and author Bill Cosby said in an interview that George Zimmerman never would've confronted Trayvon Martin if Zimmerman hadn't been carrying a gun, and that no neighborhood watch volunteers should be carrying weapons. Zimmerman shot and killed Martin — an unarmed African-American teenager — Feb. 26 in Sanford, Fla., allegedly in self-defense. "The power-of-the-gun mentality had him unafraid to confront someone. Even police call for backup in similar situations," Cosby said. "When you carry a gun, you mean to harm somebody, kill somebody."Independent voters like President Obama better but feel ideologically closer to Mitt Romney, according to a new poll of a dozen battleground states released Monday. The survey, conducted by Global Strategy Group for the moderate Democratic think tank Third Way, examined attitudes of "swing independents" who express views of Romney or Obama that are neither strongly favorable nor unfavorable. In the poll, he led Romney 44 percent to 38 percent.Syrian forces have fired across the border into Turkey, hitting a refugee camp, just hours before a United Nations deadline to end the violent uprising in the nation is slated to take effect.

The network plans an hour-long tribute to Wallace and his career on 60 Minutes next Sunday. In announcing his death, CBS lauded the brazen tactics that it said had made Wallace a household name "synonymous with the tough interview — a style he practically invented for television more than half a century ago." For the past three years, Wallace lived in a nursing care center and reportedly suffered from dementia.

UC and Miami to Host Rallies Against Hate Crimes
Coinciding events are in response to recent assault on gay students in Oxford
University of Cincinnati and Miami University student organizations will hold rallies at 5 p.m. Thursday in response to the March 24 assault of two students — one from UC and one from Miami — on the Miami campus. The events are meant to show support for GLBT people and call for an end to hate crimes. Miami University student Michael Bustin and a male friend were reportedly walking home from a drag show when someone yelled a derogatory slur at them. Bustin's friend was then attacked by four men who also reportedly assaulted Bustin when he tried to help, according to WLWT-TV. The two men had been holding hands during their walk home. Miami University sent a memo to the community and reached out to Bustin soon afterward. The rallies' Facebook page says the other man was a University of Cincinnati student. The police have released a sketch of one of the accused attackers and are seeking the public's help to find those involved. Both events will begin at 5 p.m. Those attending the Miami rally are encouraged to wear "Love is the New Label/White Out Hate" shirts or just white T-shirts or tops. After the rally, participants will line up holding hands in a demonstration of solidarity and to show that "no one deserves to be hurt for showing affection." More from the rallies' Facebook page: "We, the students of the LGBTQA alliances of Miami University and University of Cincinnati, stand united in our demand for a safe places to live, learn, work and show affection. It is unacceptable for anyone to be assaulted, but it is especially repulsive for the victims to be targeted because of their race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or any other classification." The Miami rally will take place at the Phi Delt Gates on the Miami Campus, while the UC event will take place at the corner of Martin Luther King Drive and Clifton Avenue. The events are being organized by Miami Spectrum and UC Alliance. For more information, click here or search on Facebook: "Emergency Action: Miami & UC Unite Against Hate!"

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. - Brock Motum scored 24 points and was one of four Cougars in double figures as Washington State University men's basketball defeated the University of San Francisco, 89-75, Tuesday at War Memorial Gym in the first round of the College Basketball Invitational (CBI).
WSU improves to 16-16 on the season, while USF's season ends at 20-14. Motum was joined in double figures by Reggie Moore (18 points), Marcus Capers (12 points) and Abe Lodwick (10 points). Moore finished the night 12-for-13 from the free throw line as the Cougars shot .893 (25-for-28), their second-best performance of the season. Capers was two assists and two rebounds shy of a double-double with eight rebounds and a career-high eight assists.
San Francisco also had four players in double figures, led by Michael Williams with 20. Cole Dickerson added 19, followed by Angelo Caloiaro with 15 and Perris Blackwell with 12. Dickerson had a double-double adding 11 rebounds.
The Cougars got on the board first and led 5-0 before the Dons' first bucket at the 18:30 mark. The Cougars slowly extended their lead, reaching 14 points at 24-10 with 11:30 left in the first half. USF countered with an 11-0 run to trail by three with just over seven minutes to go. The three points became one at halftime as the Cougars led 35-34.
Washington State opened the second half strong and quickly held a 10-point lead, 47-37, with 16 minutes left in the game. Each time it looked like WSU was pulling away, San Francisco would come up with a big play and eventually got within four points at the six minute mark, 69-65. But the Cougars continued to answer and hit free throws down the stretch to hang on for an 89-75 victory.
WSU will move on to the quarterfinals where it will face the winner of the game between North Dakota State and Wyoming, Monday, March 19. The location and time are yet to be determined.

i was wondering how to script mouse buttons and also here to have a macro stop if another button is pressed.
I need to script a macro to switch to radar kit, then initiate a radar scan, this is complicated because any time i start a radar scan i stop sprinting, but if i press sprint again it will start sprinting.
So a macro is needed to immedietely start sprinting after initaiting a radar scan.
A radar scan takes 2 seconds, so the script needs to look something like this:
Start, num7 down up (switch to radar kit), mouse1 down(start radar scan), b down(start sprinting), delay 2 seconds, mouse1 up(stop radar scan), b up (is not needed, i want to keep sprinting once the macro has completed), end.
I just need to know what mouse1 is called in scripting language, then this script should work fine.
However, i would like to be able to interupt this macro when i press another button, for example mouse 1.
This is because, during the 2 seconds that i am performing a radar scan, i may spot an enemy or come under fire, this macro would occupy my mouse1 button which i would need to return fire, thus i need a key that can interrupt this macro either a keyboard key or letter like "y" or my mouse1 button.
Is it possible to assign a key to interrupt the script function of a single key?
In this case the key is g8, but i am runnign scripts on keys g4 g11 g10 and g12 and i don't want the scripts on them to be interrupted.
Okay, i have found out how to script mouse buttons, i read about a pdf that comes with the scripting software and i found it when i clicked scripting api under help in the script editor.
It's pressmousebutton(1) for mouse1 down and releasemousebutton(1) for up.
I still need to know if there is a way to make a scripting running on a key interruptable by other keys if anyone could help with that, ken?
to make the macro interruptible, define it as a macro using the macro editor, but don't bind the macro to any key. instead, invoke it from Lua using the PlayMacro() function. if you later want to interrupt the macro, use the AbortMacro() function. AbortMacro() is only able to interrupt a macro that was started with PlayMacro(), which is why you want to use PlayMacro() rather than binding the macro directly to a G key.
this is the easiest way to do it that I know of.

Okay... lol, as things are i have assigned the G8 key to script and have added the following line to the script in the editor:
if (event=="G_PRESSED" and arg==8) then
PressKey("num7"); ReleaseKey("num7"); ReleaseKey("b"); PressMouseButton(1); Sleep(50); PressKey("b");Sleep(1150);ReleaseKey("b"); PressKey("b"); Sleep(4000); ReleaseMouseButton(1)
Here is everything that is in the script:
function OnEvent(event, arg, family)
if (event=="G_PRESSED" and arg==4) then
ReleaseKey("b"); PressKey("b"); PressKey("w")
if (event=="G_PRESSED" and arg==27) then
ReleaseKey("b"); PressKey("b"); PressKey("i")
if (event=="G_PRESSED" and arg==29) then
ReleaseKey("b"); PressKey("b"); PressKey("c")
if (event=="G_PRESSED" and arg==10) then
ReleaseKey("b"); PressKey("b"); PressKey("a")
if (event=="G_PRESSED" and arg==11) then
ReleaseKey("b"); PressKey("b"); PressKey("s")
if (event=="G_PRESSED" and arg==12) then
ReleaseKey("b"); PressKey("b"); PressKey("d")
if (event=="G_PRESSED" and arg==8) then
PressKey("num7"); ReleaseKey("num7"); ReleaseKey("b"); PressMouseButton(1); Sleep(50); PressKey("b");Sleep(1150);ReleaseKey("b"); PressKey("b"); Sleep(4000); ReleaseMouseButton(1)
if (event=="G_RELEASED" and arg==4) then
if (event=="G_RELEASED" and arg==27) then
if (event=="G_RELEASED" and arg==29) then
if (event=="G_RELEASED" and arg==11) then
The above line of script is the only method i've found of achieving the function that i need from the key, i only wish for the key to be interuptable by certain keys as i i would be using my jump key, possibly crouch key, possibly directional keys which are script themselves.
I would need to line of script to be interruptable by the keys i use to switch weapons which are not scripts, just regular keys like "h" and "j", as this is primary reason i could forsee myself wishing to cancel the execution of the script, encountering an enemy and needing to switch to a weapon.
Can it be done?
Thanks again as always ken
Okay, i thought i'd include a bit more information about the keys that i would want to use to interupt the macro, these are the scroll buttons on my mouse, which is a Razer Mamba, i assigned the scroll upwards function to a macro which types "=" then "." which switches to close ranged weapons and drops them, or takes out fists if all closed ranged weapons have been dropped.
I drop all of my closed ranged weapons so that i can quickly and conveniently switch to my fists for faster movement.
Downwards is assigned to "-" which switches to my assault rifle.
So i would need either "-" or "=" to interrupt the line of script.
yes, it can be done, but you will have to switch the keys you want to interrupt (e.g. 'h' and 'j') to use scripts invoked by G keys as well.
take the part that you want to be able to interrupt and put it into a macro instead of using script commands. remember to include all the delays in the macro. let's suppose you call that macro "RadarScan".
keep the G8 key assigned to the 'Script' action, and use this in your script:
if (event=="G_PRESSED" and arg==8) then PlayMacro("RadarScan") end
let's suppose you want to use G3 for 'h'. bind G3 to the 'Script' action, and use this:
if (event=="G_PRESSED" and arg==3) then AbortMacro("RadarScan") PressKey("h") end if (event=="G_RELEASED" and arg==3) then ReleaseKey("h") end
do the same for your 'j' key. give that a try and go from there.

LoL, you posted that 1 minute after my lastest edit, take a look at what i added to my last post and see what you think...
If not, i guess this is good enough, i'll just assign a g key to interrupt then switch to my weapon but if it's possible to code it so that i do not need to press an intermedietary key i'd be willing to learn a programming language to do it, so is it?
As a side note, the Razer Mamba macros are stored as MXM files, if that makes any difference...
in general, you won't be able to detect keypresses generated by the Razer drivers and act on them from your scripts.
except that it might work if the Razer is generating things like shift, ctrl or alt. also scripts can detect mouse buttons being held (but probably not if the mouse driver remaps the mouse button to something else like a key press, although I haven't tested this myself)
look up "IsModifierPressed" and "IsMouseButtonPressed" in the scripting api document for more info on this.
08-02-2010 09:21 AM - edited 08-02-2010 09:28 AM
Okay thanks ken, it seems that the macro doesn't actiaully interfere with shooting in any case, i just have to press the fire button twice instead of once to begin firing.
However, there is a small issue of the macro repeating itself if i press it more than once, if i press twice it will repeat twice, three times three times thrice etc..
So for this reason i really need a key to cancel the macro, as having the macro repeat is actually quite useful, but i'd be interested to know why it repeats the amount of times i press the key.-
Here is the script i am running:
function OnEvent(event, arg, family) if (event=="G_PRESSED" and arg==4) then ReleaseKey("b"); PressKey("b"); PressKey("w") end if (event=="G_PRESSED" and arg==27) then ReleaseKey("b"); PressKey("b"); PressKey("i"); PressKey("d") end if (event=="G_PRESSED" and arg==29) then ReleaseKey("b"); PressKey("b"); PressKey("c"); PressKey("a") end if (event=="G_PRESSED" and arg==10) then ReleaseKey("b"); PressKey("b"); PressKey("a") end if (event=="G_PRESSED" and arg==11) then ReleaseKey("b"); PressKey("b"); PressKey("s") end if (event=="G_PRESSED" and arg==12) then ReleaseKey("b"); PressKey("b"); PressKey("d") end if (event=="G_PRESSED" and arg==8) then PlayMacro("RadarScan") end if (event=="G_PRESSED" and arg==14) then AbortMacro("RadarScan") PressKey("u") end if (event=="G_RELEASED" and arg==4) then ReleaseKey("w") end if (event=="G_RELEASED" and arg==27) then ReleaseKey("i"); ReleaseKey("d") end if (event=="G_RELEASED" and arg==29) then ReleaseKey("c"); ReleaseKey("a") end if (event=="G_RELEASED" and arg==11) then ReleaseKey("s") end if (event=="G_RELEASED" and arg==10) then ReleaseKey("a") end if (event=="G_RELEASED" and arg==12) then ReleaseKey("d") end if (event=="G_RELEASED" and arg==14) then ReleaseKey("u") end end
Pressing g14 does not stop the macro repeating or stop me from having to press the fire button twice to commence firing.
Oh and the G13 macro editors does detect when i press the various buttons on my mamba that are assigned to press keys and perform macros, if i start recording and scroll up it will detect = . or if i scroll down it will detect -, however i don't see how i could assign these keys to abort a macro, as the method you've listed seems to require a g key, i couldn't have something like (event=="=PRESSED") then or something like that could i?
Thanks x1000000
Also, i have just realised the the function that i assigned to "u" doesn't work with the above script and when i press g14 the letter u does not type in word pad or this box i am writing in now, i have also tried the following variation of that line of script:
if (event=="G_PRESSED" and arg==14) then AbortMacro("RadarScan"); PressKey("u") end
Which does not result in "u" typing or functioning anywhere either...
yes, the Macro Editor can see mouse-generated keypresses. the problem is that your Lua script will only be called for Lua events, and Lua events are only generated for G key and M key actions (i.e. event == "G_PRESSED" or "G_RELEASED" or "M_PRESSED" or "M_RELEASED", but never any events for regular keys). so you can't use a regular keyboard key to trigger any kind of action in a Lua script (excepting the modifier keys: shift, ctrl and alt, and that can only be done in conjunction with another G key or M key action).
I suspect the repeat problem is because repeated presses of G8 cause multiple PlayMacro() calls to 'stack up', but AbortMacro() only aborts one of them (rather than all of them), but I'm not certain. if so, you can set a timer on the first press of G8 that you can use to define a 'blackout' period during which further presses of G8 would be ignored.
something like this, for a 5.2 second blackout period:
if (event=="G_PRESSED" and arg==8) then local t = GetRunningTime() if (t - (G8_LastTime or 0) > 5200) then PlayMacro("RadarScan") G8_LastTime = t end end
also, if you abort the macro then you can cancel the blackout timer:
if (event=="G_PRESSED" and arg==14) then AbortMacro("RadarScan") PressKey("u") G8_LastTime = 0 end
of special note is the Lua idiom (G8_LastTime or 0), which means "whatever G8_LastTime is set to, or 0 if it is currently nil". this is useful because all Lua variables start with a value of nil until a non-nil value is assigned to them.

Birth Totem: Falcon/Hawk - March 21st - April 19th
Birth Totem Falcon individuals are those whose outer personality is full of movement as they fly through their daily existence seeking to forge the way ahead so that others may benefit from their ability to scout new territory. Yet while the Falcon soul desires to lead, if he/she has not yet explored the inner skies of their own personality and then integrated this knowledge into their approach toward their life path, then they will not possess the tools necessary for true leadership. True leaders are born through the flight of experience as they integrate lessons learned and experiences faced and hence, become "role models" for those who watch the evolved falcon soul on the wing. Only by first thoroughly exploring their own inner domain and discovering the motivations behind their often unconscious desire to lead and thirst to blaze new trails, may the Falcon individual then have the strength of wisdom necessary to carry him/her further into the uncharted territory of the future.
Without coming to live peacefully in the here and now, the falcon individual cannot possess the balance between pioneering spirit and practical knowledge that is necessary to complete their birth role of leader, for a leader that leads in haste and without sufficient forethought may unwittingly cause harm to either themselves or to those who will be drawn to follow such a dynamic soul. When one with birth totem falcon has integrated the lessons of the personality with the life path (soul lesson/power totem), the beauty of the falcon on the wing is a glorious scene to behold and the spirit of a true leader emerges. Falcon will then blaze through the sky as an arrow speeding toward its target. The falcon's approach to his/her own lessons will be as though the lesson is the prey to be perceived, tackled and consumed so that the lesson will not need to be repeated.
In ancient times, the falcon was the hunting companion to the aristocracy. As such, these splendid creatures were treated with honor and respect for their keen eyesight, speed of flight, and precision of movement. Likewise, the individual with Falcon as their birth totem possesses the ability to time their movements along their life path with grace and awareness, resulting in a quickened integration with each direction that is faced along the sacred hoop of life. This then brings them the requisite experience to fashion the tail feathers of true leadership, and thus satisfies the higher self's motivation to lead through the vision of wisdom.
Birth Totem Falcon
March 21 - April 19
Mental Speed ~ Agility ~ Focus
A natural born leader, those with a Falcon Totem are always looked upon for clear judgment in sticky situations. Falcon never wastes time; they strike while the iron is hot, and take action in what must be done. Falcon is honored and respected for its keen eyesight, speed of flight, and precision of movement.
Birds in general are survivalists. They will first choose flight over fight. They instinctively know that fighting is a dangerous endeavor. Whereas flight is avoiding trouble, possible injury or death. Birds have superb reflexes. They teach us awareness and adaptability. Birds represent the air element and are teachers of proper breathing.
The Falcon is known to hover in the sky in slow motion or sit patiently on a perch while on the lookout for possible prey. When its prey is in sight, Falcon will move swiftly to the ground to scoop up its meal. The Falcon uses its mind, calculating the best move before taking action. The lesson that Falcon teaches is to wait for the most opportune moment before making your move. If you take the Falcon's lesson of patience and precise thinking to heart, you will attain more successes than failures.
Falcons in general have amazing vision and are incredibly fast and talented fliers. Falcon is found living in the wild virtually the world over; it is native to every continent, except Antarctica. It is also the fastest bird in the world, capable of flying 300 miles per hour.
Throughout history, culture and myth, Falcons symbolize power, strength, light, autonomy and ambition.
The Falcon was symbolic of the rising sun in Egypt. It is also the king of all birds where many gods were shown with the head or body of the Falcon (including Ra). Falcon is a solar emblem for success, victory and rising above a situation.
The fact that the Falcon is a solar creature could mean there is something in your life that you are highly passionate about, and the Falcon is asking you to take action on this passion. However, be smart about it and don't jump into something without doing research and planning. Make your passion a reality by pursuing it as methodically and as strategically as the Falcon would pursue his prey.
The Falcon Totem's approach to lessons is that the lesson is the prey to be perceived, dealt with and consumed so that the lesson will not have to be repeated. Falcons are in the present and the past is easily discarded. Falcon's message is to learn from our experiences, making wisdom from each experience and use them as a foundation for creating something new.
The Falcon comes to you when you require higher vision, or higher knowledge in solving a current problem in your life.
At its core, the Falcon Totem represents visionary power, wisdom, and guardianship. This powerful bird leads you to your life's purpose. The Falcon Totem carries with it a message of transition and change. Falcon is the messenger that will give you what you need to know at the right time.
Falcon encourages you to calculate and strategize. If you have a goal, Falcon beckons you to make plans and strategies to obtain these goals. Falcons are all about strong, one-pointed focus. When they show themselves to you, you are being called to focus on your desires and your goals, and do what is necessary to bring your desires into your reality.
Those with Falcon Totem aim to initiate and lead, and may be impulsive from time-to-time. They want to establish individuality while still being accepted by a group
Their outer personality is full of movement, always looking to generate a new way ahead so that others may benefit from their ability to investigate new fields. They are hunters of new ideas and experiences, fearlessly going after the things they want.
The have high ideals and are great starters but not finishers. They move quickly away from something after they skim the surface and then they are on to something else
They have a desire to show the way, yet if they do not integrate all their knowledge and experiences into their daily lives, they will not possess the tools necessary for true leadership. True leaders are born through the journey of each experience, as they integrate the lessons learned and become role models
Birth Totem Falcon holds the medicine of precision, timing, grace, patience and acute mental perception. It teaches those with this Totem how to use their mental capability to the fullest, to move in harmony with their own rhythm and to strike with force when necessary.
Birth Totem Falcon Flower Essence
This Flower Essence support us in learning from our experiences. It assists us in integrating where we have been in order to gain the wisdom we need to move ahead to our next phase in life.
It stimulates positive forward motion when you feel stuck. It encourages you to rely on and trust your own wisdom above anyone else's. It sparks the desire to explore different facets of yourself that you have allowed to remain hidden and promotes self-acceptance.
It gives us the strength necessary to integrate the lessons, restore ideals, and the courage to explore and expand the self, welcoming challenges and reaching beyond the threshold to establish new forms and patterns for living.

File:Borehole Temperature.png
From Global Warming Art
This image compares the instrumental temperature record of Brohan et al. 2006 to the borehole temperature reconstruction of Huang et al. 2000. For simplicity, the two have been aligned to have the same mean over the period of overlap.
Rock has a very low thermal conductivity which means that it can take centuries for rocks underground to become aware of changes in surface temperatures. By taking very careful measurements of the temperature of rock in boreholes tens and hundreds of meters underground, it is possible to detect shifts in the long-term mean surface temperature at that location. This is underlying goal of borehole temperature reconstruction. However, as thermal diffusion is such a slow process, short term changes are averaged out and this technique only provides information about changes in the long-term average temperature. Here the borehole temperature reconstruction assigns a single rate of temperature change for each of the last five centuries and thus does not capture short-term variability.
Unlike most other methods for studying paleoclimate, borehole thermometry is a direct measurement of temperature and doesn't need to be calibrated against the instrumental record. Hence, borehole thermometry provides and independent record of paleoclimate against which other paleoclimate techniques can be validated.
It is worth noting that that the Huang et al. reconstruction does not capture the full rate of temperature change during the twentieth century. There are several factors that may be responsible for this. Foremost among these, is that borehole measurements from the upper few meters (corresponding to the most recent decades) are often discarded to avoid contamination from soil and surface processes. In addition, a significant fraction of the boreholes were measured pre-1990 and hence would not capture any acceleration in temperature change during the end of the twentieth century.

Airborne allergens: what to know
How do you tell the difference between a cold and an allergy? What are the different allergens? Can cleaning surfaces help control them? Find out the answers to these questions and many more.
What is an airborne allergen?
An airborne allergen is something in the air that causes an allergic response, such as itching and sneezing. Someone who does not have an allergy can be exposed to exactly the same substance, such as pet dander, and not have any response at all.
Common indoor allergens
The allergens most commonly found inside our homes include:
- Dust mite debris
- Pet dander
- Mould spores
- Pollen
Dust mite debris, pet dander and mould spores are often present in our homes, so these are referred to as 'indoor allergens'. We usually think of pollen as being an 'outdoor allergen', but during the warmer months it often travels into the house through open windows and doors, and even on people's hair and clothes.
These allergens float through the air, and can then be inhaled or enter the eyes. They can also land on surfaces. If the surfaces are disturbed, the allergens on them can disperse into the air again.

This remedy is now only available through special orders with a minimum of 21 bottles/ 7 month supply. To place an order please contact us at email@example.com
We apologize for any inconvenience.
Eastern Essentials P.M.S Support is an all natural herbal remedy for menstrual relief that is designed to relieve the uncomfortable symptoms commonly seen before and sometimes during menstruation. These irritating symptoms usually begin 5-11 days before a woman starts her monthly menstrual cycle. These symptoms usually stop once her period begins, or shortly after, but can continue throughout her period. P.M.S. symptoms usually consist of menstrual cramps, extreme irritability, a short temper, breast tenderness, bloating, food cravings, headaches, low abdominal pressure, abdominal pain, sleep problems, nervousness, and digestive problems. Usually the woman feels "on edge" and tense. Sometimes premenstrual syndrome can be called premenstrual tension or P.M.T. Painful periods are referred to as dysmenorrhea and our P.M.S. Support Remedy can help greatly with this.
Many women accept that every month, the mood swings, bloating, and other problems that threaten their relationships, work life, and well-being, is just something they have to learn to live with. Just something that happens before their menstrual period comes. Our P.M.S. Support formula is created to bring you P.M.S. relief so you don't have to feel this way anymore.
Eastern Essentials P.M.S. Support is an all-natural P.M.S. treatment, consisting of herbs used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries to reduce symptoms of premenstrual syndrome. This powerful remedy is designed to bring menstrual cramps relief, help ease the tension, balance the emotions, reduce the bloating, improve the digestion, ease the swollen breasts or even sore breasts, and calm the irritability.
Most women do get relief within the first month of taking these herbs. But our goal is not to have you take something every month when these symptoms begin to develop like a quick fix, but for your body and hormonal system to be in a state of balance where you eventually no longer need to take anything. This is why it is highly recommended to take these herbs even before and after P.M.S., not only as the symptoms occur. You want to take the pills daily as you would with any supplement for a chronic problem, until your body has stabilized, is brought into balance, and the agonizing symptoms no longer occur. This usually takes 1-3 months.
Suggested Use: 6 capsules twice daily. If the problem is severe then one can increase the dosage to 6 capsules 3 times daily.
This remedy is based on a classic Chinese herbal formula called, Xiao Yao San, or Rambling powder, which was first recorded in the 11th century in the Imperial Grace Formulary of the Tai Ping Era. The goal of this formula was to foster a feeling of a free rambling spirit, with no tension, proceeding through life with ease. Millions of women have used the Rambling Powder Formula for almost 1,000 years! This is one of the most commonly used Chinese herbal formulas even today.
Even though this ancient remedy has been used for almost a thousand years, we made it even more effective by adding herbs known to balance hormone levels, increase blood circulation, ease breast tenderness, reduce abdominal pan, and calm the emotions.
The result is an all natural, perfectly balanced formula designed to bring relief to any woman experiencing P.M.S.

I am looking to book flights for my family to Orlando out of DM for this June. Last year we bought quite a ways in advance and got a pretty decent deal (the 4 of us were able to go roundtrip for under $1000).
I am looking at both Allegiant and Southwest's monthly rate calendar and it looks like the cheapest rates right now are Jan/Feb, followed by March and so on with August being the last month they are currently booking and the rates are the highest in August (outside of a few dates around spring break, etc).
Does anybody know if there is a "typical" trend for airfare by the month? I am just not sure if these months are normally priced this way or if rates go down some as it gets closer and they haven't filled seats. My wife and I are both teachers so we're pretty flexible on the dates in June, just would like to find the best deal we can on them!
Im just glad I have Homan as my bodyguard, Eustachy joked. If I ever make it real big and get to drive a limo everyday, hell be driving it. I thought he came off the bench like somebody was stealing his cow or something.
It doesn't seem like there is any rhyme or reason anymore, sounds like you are on top of it. Just keep checking periodically or have a fare watch notifier and be ready with all your info when you get your price.
I think rates tend to get higher when you look more than two or three months out. I think airlines dont know there expenses that far out so they price them higher. If I were in your shoes I would wait.
Airfares confound me. In May I went to Paris, it was $250 cheaper per ticket to fly out of Des Moines than out of Minneapolis. Honestly, I only checked Des Moines at the last minute assuming it would be much more expensive. Thank goodness I did.
Thanks guys, that's kind of what I was thinking. A couple of articles online said 2-3 months is usually the ideal time price-wise to look so I think I'll hold off for a bit. The only problem with Allegiant is they'll only have like 3 flights a week so I don't want to wait too long either!
Instead of flying into Orlando, check the airports around Orlando. We are going in June and found tickets flying into Melbourne for $80 cheaper per ticket from DSM. Every time I checked prices, Orlando was more expensive than Tampa, Daytona Beach, and Melbourne. We were already planning on renting a car, so it was no big deal for us to flying into an airport outside Orlando.
When you buy your tickets do so on Tuesday or Wednesday because tickets on these days tend to be cheaper than the rest of the week.
Also, it is usually cheaper to fly on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Saturday.
Not sure on the month, but you usually better to book a month or two in advance.
We're heading to Germany in July. I'm a bit curious about when to buy and what rates to expect as well.
Are you going to see CLONE CONES?
I have found on Southwest's website that they will sometimes drop fares significantly for just a few hours, unannounced, on random days. I've checked prices for trips I wanted to take in the morning, found one price, came back at noon and found a price that was, say $100 lower for a round trip (and made the purchase), then saw later that day that the fares had gone back to their original price. The trick with Southwest is to check them at least twice a day if you are seriously looking to buy tickets. It has paid off for me more than once. Yes, it's kind of a pain, but it only takes two minutes to look.
All people who make sweepingly generalized, stupid, uninformed comments are idiots.
I'm flying to Orlando in feb. got the tickets last April.. Checked Omaha dm and kc.. Kc was by far the cheapest. At $190 per ticket! I was pretty happy with that! Well worth the drive from sw Iowa to kc and a night in a hotel. It's like a 6am flight.
If you're looking through allegiant check the Sanford airport... If you can stand the bag fees.
Orlando airfares suck during school breaks - good luck. The best fares I can ever find outta here (which I would assume is the same for the opposite flights) are usually on American and are booked on a Tuesday

When I see allegiant prices higher then normal I start the purchase process till you get to see what seats have been taken. If it is pretty empty I wait. If it is starting to look full I generally pull the trigger. I had to pay almost $400 including checked bag to goto arizona over Christmas (generally higher that time of year anyway).
I have a conference in Vegas beginning of April and it seems flights right now are higher then normal there too.
Basically United, Delta, US Air, Southwest, and American are trying to buy out other airlines so they can drive the prices up with less competition. Coupled with TSA and fewer available seats, fewer people may decide to fly.

Prices headed up, up and away.

Angelology comes from the Greek word, "angelos," which means angel and the Greek word, "logos," which means word or study. Therefore, angelology is the study of angels. The English word occurs more than 290 times in the Bible.
The Old Testament was written in Hebrew and Hebrew word for Angel is "malak." An Angel is a messenger of God. Biblically speaking, angels (sent ones who are not humans) are created beings, who are very powerful.

Global Gender Issues in the New Millennium introduces students to the gendered divisions of world politics today and reveals the power of gender as a meta-lens that keeps gender, race, class, sexual, and national divisions in place, despite limited advances of some women and men on the world political stage. In this completely new edition, the authors apply intersectional analysis to global governance, militarization, global economic restructuring, and environmental degradation. The authors focus on an apparent contradiction-the higher level of attention to gender and women's human rights in a time of fierce militarization, economic inequality, and ecological crisis-and address how the power of gender can be deconstructed to rethink gendered identities, ideologies, structures, and policies. The book emphasizes how using gender to justify or mystify unjust global practices can co-opt hard-won attention to gender equality but also sees promise in struggles to re-radicalize feminist world political demands to improve the conditions of all people and the planet. It also examines the challenges of de-gendering world politics through renewed politics of representation and redistribution. Book jacket.

Los Angeles-based Fandango, the movie ticketing and information service, said today that it has had the best ever number in May for traffic and ticket sales, for the company's entire 12-year history. The company said it saw a 47 percent, year-over-year increase in its ticket sales, plus a 29 percent year-over-year increase in monthly visitors, totaling 34 million in May of 2012. The company attributed the growth to both its large network of theater screens--it recently added AMC Theaters, Regency Theatres, and others to its network--plus its mobile and social products, and its coverage of movie news and film reviews. Fandango also said it had about 28 percent of its total tickets sold via mobile in May, which appears to be one of the growth areas for the company. Fandango is owned by Comcast, which acquired the movie site back in 2007.
