will be focusing only on the 7800 line of cards
Anandtech reviewing vendors 7800 GTX looks like a way to get a freebie 7800 GTX to every Anandtech editor,
But I admit it's interesting to see what each vendor brings with the board, to see what games, what box and cooler. Reply
Scotty - Friday, August 05, 2005 - linkIn the hardware reviews, there is the shootout from Hexus. They remove the heat sinks to show the card and chips. I would like to see/know how well this card would accept a water block to integrate a dual 7800 setup into my current water cooling system. I am running a triple monitor system and this card makes this quite a bit easier to do than the the 6600 cards. Obviously I can not run this in SLI mode with three displays. Reply
Backslider - Friday, August 05, 2005 - linkI have to disagree with the article.
BFG 7800 OC wo/game = $525
MSI 7800 w/game = $475
The whole whopping 1% faster then, doesn't account for $50 plus a $40 game, at lease not to my wallet. I mean give me a break already, the card was like 1 FPS faster give or take a half of frame! But, ooooohhhh its "Over clocked" and I guess you get a cookie for that?
Then again, if your buying a graphics card this expensive, I'm sure you have the money to go out and buy all the games you want anyhow. Even then the benchmarks were just not impressive at all (realitive to 7800 vs. 7800). Reply
darksparkz - Friday, August 05, 2005 - linkI think, on the next review you should have the 7800GTXs stock speeds AND the 7800GTXs speeds that are OC to the exact same speed. It's harder to compare which is better because of the clock speeds.
If you have eVGA, BFG, and etc. all at the same clock speeds, we'll truely be able to compare which is better Reply
JarredWalton - Friday, August 05, 2005 - linkI believe the whole point is that there is *NO* difference between any of the current 7800GTX cards if they are clocked the same. Minor differences in fan speed seem to be the major influence right now. Reply
Some Body - Thursday, August 04, 2005 - linkEVGA have released a new 7800GTX...
7800GTX KO edition (with and without BF2). Core at 490MHz, Memory at 1.3GHz.
http://www.evga.com/products/moreinfo.asp?pn=256-P...">EVGA 7800GTX KO Edition w/ Battlefield 2
(Also note that they've dropped prices on their 'regular' 7800GTX) Reply
GuniGuGu - Thursday, August 04, 2005 - linkI love this website, it's my favorite hardware site, but I really have to ask, do we really need reviews of the same hardware?
A quick overview, is the most thats really needed.
Really, Anand was talking about the 4fps difference between the games in 4xAA as actually a deciding factor??? It's 4fps guys!!
In all honesty, the only think people should look at, so long as the core/memory speeds are in-line, is the package and cooling used.
And by the looks of it, they are all folowing the same cooling options, so I would just like at the package (vivo?/cables/games) and choose from there.
Because in all seriousness, they are all the same. Reply
at80eighty - Friday, August 05, 2005 - linktrue. However - what do you suggest? that AT reviews ATI's enviously large range of cards that they have existing at your local tech store? Reply
GuniGuGu - Friday, August 05, 2005 - linkPerhaps, disregarg the entire video card section altogether, until there is something, actually worth talking about...
We all know that the GTX is the fastest card on the market, but the article could've been summed up in a few lines. "The card is oc, it cost a bit more, and doesn't offer any real extra performance, much like all other GTX's"
There's always new hardware coming out.. AT doesn;t have to review the same video card 3 times ya know... Reply
GuniGuGu - Friday, August 05, 2005 - linkOr he could brake NDA and review a 7700 gt :)
I'm in the process of buying a new machine, everything new, and i'm contemplating waiting on a 7700gt, because of the price it may sell for, and how it may overclock/unlock..
But I'm also extremly pissedd off at ATi for taking so damn long... they've basically lost my sale (if the product could've proved to have been better that is). Reply
Spacecomber - Thursday, August 04, 2005 - linkHey Derek, this is a bit tangential, but in the comments to the MSI 7800GTX review you provided a link to the demo you used for running the BF2 benchmarks. I gave it a quick try and it wouldn't run for me (game exits to desktop). I was wondering what verion of the game were these made for, the original unpatched game, perhaps? I was trying the demo with a game patched to v1.02.
Space Reply
DerekWilson - Thursday, August 04, 2005 - linkOnly works on 1.0
We may consider looking at demos for the 1.02 (or later) version.
Derek Wilson Reply
Spacecomber - Friday, August 05, 2005 - linkOk, that's what I thought. Thanks. It's no big deal, of course; I just like fooling around with this kind of stuff. (But not enough to reinstall the game without the patch. ;-) )

allnighter - Thursday, August 04, 2005 - linkI think it was unfairly downplayed to factory OC on the memory being the only advantage. So not true. The fact that you can get a hold of a support rep in the middle of the night, seven days a week, is a pretty big deal. Than the fact that the card comes bundled with othe stuff, like free utilities and a pack of teflon slick pads was omitted. Those present a value to the gamer as well. The t-shit, although oversized (XL) is actually a nice touch, free advertising or not. Another thing - the card I purchased did come bundled with a game. Granted, it was Far Cry, fairly old compared to BF2 and even Riddick, never the less, it was in the box.
allnighter - Thursday, August 04, 2005 - linkOMG, I really need to use the spell check before I post. Would you kindly help me out with that? Reply
BaronVonAwesome - Thursday, August 04, 2005 - linkI don't have enough time to read this as thoroughly as I would like, but did the article happen to mention BFG's lifetime warranty (which I personally think is worth more than any game bundle)? I would go with the BFG myself. Reply
JarredWalton - Thursday, August 04, 2005 - linkIt's mentioned on the last page, along with the fact that EVGA now offers the same lifetime warranty. I can't personally vouch for the quality of either, having never used their tech support, but I've heard they're both good. Reply
Son of a N00b - Thursday, August 04, 2005 - linkthere is a small typo on the OC'ing page... ge t should be get...lol
Nice article...very complete
Good Job...I myself have had awesome experiences with BFG, not to mention their tech support, RMA support, and life time warrenty...
So when I get my 7800's I will be going BFG. Reply
DVad3r - Thursday, August 04, 2005 - linkI would really love to see a Leadtek 7800 GTX review...and an Asus one for that matter...I am going to be buying a new system soon and I am hard pressed to choose between Asus/Leadtek/BFG?

A STILETTO attacker who was spared jail has avoided prison a second time after another violent outburst on a night out.
Burnley Crown Court heard how binge-drinking factory worker Amy Barcroft, now 28, had launched a sustained, two-part attack on her latest victim, young mum Gemma Bond, punching her repeatedly in the unprovoked beating.
Barcroft, said to have had a 'staggering' amount of cider, had also pulled Ms Bond's hair and swore at her in the onslaught outside a Great Harwood bar in September.
At the time, the defendant was subject to a suspended jail sentence for setting about a woman with a pair of stiletto shoes in a Great Harwood club in February 2010.
Her victim in that assault, Melissa Harrison, had been left with a gashed head after being struck several times in Sopranos.
The defendant had been convicted of assault causing actual bodily harm after a trial for that attack and had been given six months in prison, suspended for two years, in the October of that year.
On Wednesday, she was back in the dock at Burnley Crown Court, where she was given another suspended term.
The defendant, of Lewis Street, Great Harwood, had admitted common assault and had been committed for sentence by magistrates.
She received two months' custody, suspended for a year, with six months' supervision and a six month curfew, between 10pm and 6am. She must pay £300 compensation.
Anthony Longworth, prosecuting on Wednesday, said student Ms Bond, who was out with friends, went outside Snuffy's Bar on her own, to have a cigarette.
A group of about five or six people were outside, one began pointing at her, started arguing and suddenly assaulted her.
The victim suffered bruises and bumps, a stiff neck and a grazed knee.
Tim Brennand, defending, said Barcroft was 'thoroughly, thoroughly ashamed'.
Sentencing, Judge Jonathan Gibson told Barcroft that clearly her record was an aggravating feature and was capable of indicating a short custodial sentence for what she did.
However, he continued, she was in work, appeared to be, in general terms, relatively stable and he could deprive her of her liberty by a substantial curfew which would keep her out of licensed premises at night.

Offense can't overcome Diamond's rough outing
Twins held scoreless for only second time; Mauer extends streak to 11
MINNEAPOLIS -- As a groundball pitcher who doesn't throw a sinker, Scott Diamond relies on his location to be effective.
Diamond, who throws a four-seam fastball that cuts instead of the typical two-seam fastball used by groundball pitchers, knows he has to keep the ball down in the zone, but he simply had trouble doing that against the Orioles on Sunday.
Diamond saw his streak of four straight quality starts come to an end, as he turned in his worst outing of the season and was outdueled by Wei-Yin Chen in a 6-0 loss to Baltimore on Mother's Day.
The left-hander said he spoke with pitching coach Rick Anderson and catcher Ryan Doumit about the importance of keeping the ball down against Baltimore, but had trouble executing his pitches on a windy day at Target Field.
"That was our game plan going in," Diamond said. "I talked to Andy and Doumit before the game and they told me, 'If you keep the ball down, you'll be fine against these guys.' In the pen, I was locating better and everything felt good. But once I got onto the mound, I couldn't get as good a grip as I wanted and I ended up pushing everything."
Diamond, making his sixth start of the year, gave up a season-high six runs on nine hits and three walks over 5 2/3 innings. He was particularly hurt by the long ball, as he served up three homers despite entering the game having given up just two on the year.
"It's very unusual for him," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "He's normally pretty spot-on. But as you could see today, the ball was just up."
The Orioles got out to an early lead against Diamond, scoring twice in the first on a two-run blast from Chris Davis to straightaway center field. It was the 11th homer of the year for Davis.
Baltimore kept adding runs from there, as they scored a run in all but one of the six innings that Diamond was on the mound.
Chris Snyder had an RBI single in the second before Adam Jones launched a solo shot in the third. The Orioles went down in order in the fourth, but they scored again in the fifth on an RBI groundout from Davis with the bases loaded. Steve Pearce hit Baltimore's third homer with a solo blast to lead off the sixth.
"That was a big blow for us," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said about the early homers. "It's just, OK, jump out there and give Wei-Yin a little bit of a cushion. He was basically pitching with his fastball today. I thought we were fortunate. We made some good defensive plays behind him. Getting back out there and getting some zeros on the board, the momentum kind of went from there."
Minnesota's offense was shut down by Chen, who threw five scoreless innings before exiting with a right oblique strain. Chen scattered five hits and didn't walk anyone, while striking out three.
"He's a good pitcher," said third baseman Trevor Plouffe, who went 1-for-4. "He moved the ball in and out and changed speeds. He has a slow windup with a quick arm, so a little bit of deception there."
Baltimore relievers Tommy Hunter, Darren O'Day, Brian Matusz and Pedro Strop combined to hold the Twins scoreless for just the second time this year.
"It was a tough loss today," said Joe Mauer, who served as designated hitter. "It's a good ballclub over there. Just really couldn't get anything going today. Against good teams you've got to play well, and we didn't play very well today."
It snapped a six-game streak of scoring at least five runs for the Twins, who dropped the three-game series with the Orioles. But Mauer and Justin Morneau both kept their hit streaks alive, as Mauer went 2-for-3 with a double and a walk to extend his streak to a season-high 11 games, while Morneau went 1-for-3 to stretch his streak to eight games.
"Offensively, Joe had his day and stayed hot and Morneau blasted one off the wall, but other than that not a lot happened," Gardenhire said. "It was just one of those games where they jumped us early and basically controlled the game."

text: Hello! I don't know if anyone has ever seen one of these, but they are a single-shot .22 short pistol in kit form. I started to assemble it, but I figured I'd post some pics of it before I continued. The instruction sheet cracks me up as far as how to make it function if it doesn't work after assembly. The roll-marks and serial # are put on with an electric engraver. As you can see, no expense was spared in producing this fine pistol! Can anyone shed anymore info on this fine collectible! Thank you! Old Gun Guy

Closet Confidential: Nellie Partow
The Talent: Yaya DaCosta
Seen In: The Kids Are Alright (2010); next month's Tron: Legacy
Most Likely to Attend: The Oscars. If the buzz on The Kids Are Alright is any indication, Yaya, a runner-up on season three of America's Next Top Model, may soon find herself undergoing a whole new level of style scrutiny. (Her other major flick, Tron, opens just before Christmas.) Going from reality star to feature film star is no easy feat, especially on the red carpet. But being tall, young, and beautiful certainly has its advantages.
How I'd Style It: I love this stark, pared-down vision of Yaya. I started with a gorgeous, minimal white Céline column—yes, it's a familiar silhouette, but reimagined by the designer of the moment, Phoebe Philo, it feels so fresh. Most importantly, I added zero accessories except for a simple black headband. No flashy diamonds, no glitzy clutch, no upswept chignon. The look is easy and clean; it lets her beauty shine through, not unlike that of such stylish predecessors as Diana Ross and Liz Taylor. Think of it as a clean slate for a brilliant new career.
The Talent: Odette Yustman
Seen In: You Again (2010); 2011's The Double
Most Likely to Attend: The Golden Globes. Odette is no red-carpet newbie. You've probably seen her glamming it up on the arm of her fiancé, Brothers & Sisters' Dave Annable, at industry events. But it's her slew of upcoming movies that will put her center stage next awards season.
How I'd Style It: The best long-gown alternative may be no gown at all. Donning a tuxedo doesn't necessarily mean stepping on Ellen DeGeneres' dapper toes. Seen on everyone from Cate Blanchett to Julia Roberts (and documented unforgettably in Helmut Newton's photos), the menswear staple is sleek and elegant without the fuss and flash of satin. Odette has such timeless beauty and grace that I took it one step further: the white tux. Think Bianca Jagger—her signature fashion statement is never dated.

"In the criminal justice system, sexually based offenses are considered especially heinous. In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit. These are their stories."
This hard-hitting and emotional companion series from NBC's Law & Order franchise chronicles the life and crimes of the elite Special Victims Unit of the New York Police Department. Law & Order: Special Victims Unit was created by Emmy Award-winning producer Dick Wolf. SVU celebrated its 200th episode in April 2008. Although Law & Order: Special Victims Unit carries the brand name Law & Order, the newer program has established a strong and unique identity. It has proved itself as a hit in its own right. In the 2002-2003 and 2003-2004 seasons, the series broke into the Top 20. Mariska Hargitay has won a Golden Globe and Emmy each for her portrayal of Det. Olivia Benson. It also garnered Emmy wins for guest-stars Amanda Plummer, Leslie Caron, and Cynthia Nixon. The series' popularity was recognized with the People's Choice Awards, Image Awards, Satellite Awards, and the TV Guide Awards with nominations for Favorite New Series.
The drama follows Det. Elliot Stabler, a seasoned veteran of the unit who has seen it all, and his partner Olivia Benson whose difficult past is the reason she joined the unit. Overseeing the team is Capt. Donald Cragen. Cragen's tough-but-supportive approach to the team's complex cases guides the squad through the challenges they face every day. Also featured is Det. John Munch, a transfer from Baltimore's homicide unit, who brings his acerbic wit, conspiracy theories and street-honed investigative skills. Munch is partnered with Det. Odafin Tutuola, whose unique sense of humor and investigative experience make him a formidable match for Munch.
Season 13 brought major changes to the squad. Det. Stabler left and was replaced by two new detectives. Dr. Huang also departed. Det. Nick Amaro brings empathy to his cases while dealing with a stressful home life. Det. Amanda Rollins' dogged persistence and instincts help her close cases, but her secrets could derail her career. A varied DA roster introduced Bureau Chief Michael Cutter, and the returning ADA Casey Novak with continued support from ADA Alexandra Cabot to bring closure to the intense investigations.

A fine artist and jewellery student have received design awards in honour of their achievements.
Middlesex University artist Paresha Amin and jewellery and accessories student Joseph Farrow have been jointly awarded a Museum of Domestic Design & Architecture (MoDA) Arthur Silver Prize 2014 for their collections.
The Middlesex University students split the £1,000 prize - Paresha for her geometrically accurate life-sized nature prints, and Joseph for his heat tempered jewellery.
Inspired by the museum's Japanese katagami stencil prints, Paresha creates life-sized nature prints using unwanted plants including weeds and leaves. As a mathematician, she organises the prints into geometric patterns.
Paresha said: "I draw parallels with the overlooked and undervalued plant matter and the difficulties my family and other immigrants encountered."
Joseph created his jewellery collection looking at identity, using a heat tempering technique he made sure that no piece in his collection was the same and categorised it using an archival system inspired by MoDA.
Speaking about winning the award he said: "For me this feels great. I would like to put the money towards getting studio space, and I'd like to set up my own business."
The Arthur Silver Award is held annually for second and final year Middlesex University Art, Design and Media undergraduate students that best demonstrate that their work has been inspired by the Colindale based museum's collections.

HOUSTON - Methamphetamines aren't usually the kinds of drugs you think of being smuggled across the border, but Mexican drug traffickers are finding a new way to smuggle crystal meth into the U.S. and into your neighborhood.
Liquid meth has been disguised by hiding it in everything from tequila bottles to portable fuel containers.
It's the newest form of methamphetamine, and it's a lot harder to detect as its being smuggled across the border and into Houston-area neighborhoods.
Houston police narcotics officers said they caught Gerardo Tapia Lopez, a suspected Mexican drug cartel operative, with more than $700,000 worth of crystal meth during a traffic stop near the 12700 block of Ashford Point Drive in west Houston. A source told KPRC Local 2 that the drugs were smuggled into the U.S. from Mexico about two weeks ago, but in a different form -- liquid meth oil.
Agents with the Drug Enforcement Administration said meth has become the cash cow for the Mexican drug cartels and smugglers south of the border.
"We found it in cars, various places -- wherever liquid can go in a car. We found it hidden in a car even in your gas tanks. Fake gas tanks, we've also had them in there also," said Assistant Special Agent-in-Charge Anthony Scott.
Once it's trafficked into cities like Houston, the toxic liquid isn't refined in large, sophisticated drug labs, but in ordinary residential homes.
DEA agents said the process is nowhere near as dangerous as the illicit activity these drugs often attract. Liquid meth can be flammable, depending on what it's saturated with. Meth, whether it's liquid or not, is still extremely dangerous and highly addictive.
Lopez is being held in the Harris county jail without bond.

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
Engineering challenges are fun activities that are frequently assigned to students in physics or engineering classes, but they can easily be used outside of these venues. An engineering challenge usually has a simple goal and some rules about what sorts of materials you are allowed to use. These are great ways to get people thinking creatively and to foster teamwork and competition. Try an engineering challenge at a birthday party, office outing, scout meeting, or any other gathering where you want to have fun and exercise your creativity.
The objective in the Catapult challenge is to fling a tennis ball the furthest distance. Each team is given the same kit of supplies, which could contain things like wood, nails, rubber tubing, dowels, etc. Teams can construct traditional catapults, trebuchets or more creative flinging devices if they wish. In addition to the distance challenge, you might want to set up targets and give prizes for accuracy. Each team will be allowed to aim and make adjustments in an attempt to get closest to the target.

LITTLE ones have marked their school's 25th birthday.
Older kids at Highwoods Community Primary School, in Tyndale Square, took part in a sponsored walk through Highwoods Country Park, while the infant children walked within the school grounds.
The milestone was also marked with a giant cake, a choir performance and a kite making and kite flying event for the whole school.
The school was opened in January 1989, with 55 children and ten staff, by head Cathy Dowsett.
There are now 445 children on roll and 60 staff, led by Nigel Hookway.
Money raised by the sponsored events, on Friday will be used to help pay for a new iPad suite.

Keystone girls soccer ousted by Celts
Published: Saturday, January 26, 2013 at 11:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, January 27, 2013 at 12:04 a.m.
OCALA — A season that included nearly 20 wins and a District 5-2A championship came to a painful conclusion for the Keystone Heights girls soccer team on Saturday night.
Facing a well-rounded club that hasn't allowed a goal since Jan. 5, the Indians fell to Trinity Catholic, 8-0, in the FHSAA Class 2A Region 2 semifinals.
The Celtics (17-2) got five goals from Florida Gulf Coast commitment Tabby Tindell, two from Alyssa Eashoo and another from Abbie Camargo.
The final one came from Eashoo two minutes into the second half, forcing a mandated mercy-rule ending.
Keystone Heights (18-4-1) found itself playing defense pretty much the entire 42 minutes of action, as Trinity Catholic keeper Taylor Mosley
touched the ball just once — jumping to catch a corner kick at the 31-minute mark.
"(The Indians) played hard," said Celtics coach Blendhel Elias, whose team will visit Lake Highland Prep in Tuesday's regional final. "It was good to get the win."

YOUNGSTERS in Burnley have been getting creative using the local waterways as their inspiration.
A group of eight teenagers, aged 13 to 19 years old, have been involved with a project called Undercurrents which aims to get them engaging with the rivers in Burnley, using creative activities such as filmmaking, photography, creative writing and visual art.
The project was set up as part of the Urban Rivers Enhancement Scheme funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund last year, and is run by Burnley Leisure's Arts Development Team.
Undercurrents is based in the Crib in Burnley Central Library and the group meets one Saturday every month during term time, while extra workshops are run during the school holidays.
While taking part in the project the teenagers have had the opportunity to gain their Bronze Arts Award and are currently working towards their Silver.
So far during the project the group has taken part in river walks in the town along the culverts in Thompsons Park and up to the source of the River Brun.
They have also regularly worked with artist Lucy Bergman, who focuses on creating abstract narrative through film making, illustration, print and writing.
Art work produced has ranged from video dramas, monologues, watercolor paintings and photography.
And the workshops have included work with a variety of guest artists.
Rachel Hawthorn, Arts Engagement Officer for Burnley Leisure Trust, is running the project.
She said: "Undercurrents is giving young people in Burnley the opportunity to discover and explore the hidden rivers that run beneath the town using photography, film making, visual art and creative writing.
"The group really enjoyed taking part in the project and have made lots of new friends as well as gaining nationally recognised qualifications.
"The members are all interested in a range of different art forms, some have gone more towards the writing side creating monologues while other have created short video dramas.
"However they have all had the chance to try out the different art forms."
The project is soon due to come to an end but they are now hoping to work in Thompsons Park looking at its history.
Rachel added: "The Undercurrents project is due to come to an end this year.
"However the group is looking to put a bid to the Heritage Lottery Fund for their young roots scheme.
"If the bid is successful then they aim to carry out a project concentrating on the heritage of Thompsons Park."

2015 College/Community Latin American Honor Choir (CCL)!
Welcome to the Community Choir Repertoire & Standards Page
A community choir is a choir that draws its membership from a community at large and is not restricted to a single institution. This means that community children's choirs, symphony choruses, professional, semi-professional, and amateur choirs can all fall under the genre of community choir. All of these choirs are unique, yet all share the goals of advancing the choral art through rehearsal and performance and the production of beautiful vocal music. These standards are meant to be an active document, a source of discussion and reflection. They can apply to any community choir, professional or amateur, big or small, for they are all engaged in promoting musical activities that enhance the community choral art.

On any given night, about 4,000 people sleep on the streets or in shelters across Portland. Homeless people can be adults, young people, couples or families with children. They are living on the streets, either temporarily or for the long term, for a variety of reasons. They may be homeless because of an untreated mental illness, a physical disability, domestic violence, the loss of a job, or a drug addiction. They may be experiencing a financial crisis and have been evicted from their home for the first time; they may cycle from homelessness to housing and back to homelessness again; or they may be chronically homeless, having lived on the streets for many months or years.
The City of Portland and Multnomah County invest public funds and operate programs that provide direct services to homeless people and families. The City and County also fund services provided by nonprofit organizations and private service agencies. Corrections facilities, hospitals, schools, churches, and charities also provide assistance to homeless people. All are partners in the "homeless system" and have a direct stake in providing effective and efficient services with a goal to end homelessness. The wider community also has a stake in ending homelessness. As members of a community, we want to take care of our citizens, including those with illnesses or disabilities who cannot care for themselves. In addition, all of us want safe, clean and livable streets and neighborhoods.
We believe that rather than shuffling homeless people from service to service and back to the street, the aim of our efforts must be to first get homeless people into permanent housing. This requires that all partners in the homeless system work together in innovative and more accountable ways. Much of the Portland Housing Bureau's work around homelessness is driven by our community's plan to end homelessness.

Sharing a saved query through Desktop Integration Suite and folders
By Kyle Hatlestad on Mar 26, 2013
I had someone recently ask if there is a way to create a query folder through Desktop Integration Suite (DIS). Query folders are a new feature available in Framework Folders that basically run pre-defined searches within the context of a folder. While not immediately obvious, there is a way to do it.
First, you perform your search through DIS and get your results in the Search Results folder.
You then take those results and right-click to save them as a Saved Query. It now goes under the My Saved Queries folder within My Content Server. Now you can hold down the Ctrl key and drag it to one of the folders under Browse Content.
And that's all you need to create that query folder in DIS!

ST. JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. - Two motorcycles were involved in an accident with a truck Thursday night, leaving one rider dead, according to St. Johns County Fire Rescue.
Just before 9 p.m., a box truck backing into a private driveway off U.S. 1 near the Interstate 95 interchange was blocking a northbound lane when it was struck by two of three motorcycles traveling together, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Rider James Convertito, 49, of Shelton, Conn., was pronounced dead at the scene. Troopers said he was not wearing a helmet.
The second rider, Leon Laquay, 51, of Seymour, Conn., was treated at the scene for minor injuries. The truck driver, Philip Smith, 29, of St. Augustine, was taken to Flagler Hospital with minor injuries.
According to the FHP report, charges are pending.

|Bulboid corpuscle
|End-bulb of Krause.
|c. bulboideum
|subject #233 1060
The bulboid corpuscles (end-bulbs of Krause) are cutaneous receptors in the human body.
The end-bulbs of Krause were named after German anatomist Wilhelm Krause (1833-1910).[1][2]
They were once thought to mediate temperature but are now known to have the ability to detect low-frequency vibration.
They are minute cylindrical or oval bodies, consisting of a capsule formed by the expansion of the connective-tissue sheath of a medullated fiber, and containing a soft semifluid core in which the axis-cylinder terminates either in a bulbous extremity or in a coiled-up plexiform mass.
They are found typically in mucocutaneous zones, those tissues that are transitional between dry glabrous skin and mucus membranes,
For eample they are found in the:
- conjunctiva of the eye (where they are spheroidal in shape in humans, but cylindrical in most other animals),
- mucous membrane of the lips and tongue,
- epineurium of nerve trunks.
- penis and the clitoris and have received the name of genital corpuscles; in these situations they have a mulberry-like appearance, being constricted by connective-tissue septa into from two to six knob-like masses.
- synovial membranes of certain joints, e. g., those of the fingers, rounded or oval end-bulbs occur, and are designated articular end-bulbs.

DES Encourages Homeowners to Conserve Water
Concord, NH – The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services is reminding residents on the need to conserve water resources. Although New Hampshire is not currently under a formal drought declaration, the present heat spell coupled with lower than normal precipitation is causing people to use more water than usual. Some areas of the eastern half of the state have received three to five fewer inches of rainfall over the last 90 days than typical. Southern Coos County shows an even larger departure from normal. Although water conservation is something that needs to be practiced year-round, it can be especially important as a proactive measure during dry conditions and hot weather.
"One of the easiest steps a homeowner can take is to reduce the amount of water used outdoors," said Derek Bennett, manager of the Water Use and Conservation program. "Discretionary uses, like lawn irrigation, can account for the majority of a homes total use during the summer months." Lawn irrigation often leads to restrictions as water systems confront increasing water demand in the face of limited supply. "Adhering to water use restrictions is important," said Bennett. "Water systems implement restrictions to avoid larger problems down the road, and full cooperation by the water system connections is needed to be successful."
Even without restrictions in place, reducing the amount of water used on landscapes makes sense, both environmentally and financially. Reducing lawn size, ensuring adequate topsoil, and choosing drought tolerant grass mixes are good first steps. If irrigation is needed to supplement rainfall, the typical lawn requires less than an inch of water per week (irrigation and rainfall combined).
DES has prepared a series of guidance documents that assist homeowners with reducing water use both inside and outside of the home. Please visit: des.nh.gov/organization/commissioner/pip/factsheets/dwgb/index.htm#efficiency for a complete list of water efficiency fact sheets.

Fiore to Have Surgery on Injured Knee [5:13 AM]
Washington Post reports: 'Fiore started the first three games of the season but has been sidelined since because of discomfort in his knee, on which he underwent surgery last year. Rookie Derrick Dockery will make his fourth straight start at left guard in place of Fiore on Sunday at Buffalo, with Lennie Friedman ready to step in if Dockery falters.'
Bauman sizes up starting role [5:12 AM]
Washington Times reports: '"He's still in his second year in the league, so he's not as seasoned," Catavolos said. "But he studies as well as anybody. He understands the defense. And he's got an outstanding competitive nature. No matter what we ask him to do, this guy's a tireless worker."'
Fiore to have knee repaired [5:11 AM]
Washington Times reports: 'It would be fitting if kickoff returner Chad Morton capped a stretch of progressively better runbacks in recent weeks with a touchdown Sunday at Buffalo. As a New York Jet in last year's opener at Buffalo, Morton became the fifth player in NFL history to return two kickoffs for scores: a 98-yarder in regulation and a 96-yarder to start overtime.'
'Skins' Smith keeping Buffalo return in check [5:10 AM]
Baltimore Sun reports: 'His teammates have noticed Smith's reticence. "He's been good at hiding it," said defensive end Renaldo Wynn. "I know he's excited about coming back to Buffalo, but he's been kind of low-key."'
Smith still shows no slack when it comes to sacks [5:09 AM]
Richmond Times Dispatch reports: '"The guy has the body of someone half his age," said Ted Cottrell, who was Smith's line coach in Buffalo and now is the defensive coordinator of the New York Jets. They remains close friends.'
Hall's hits are a hit with the Redskins [5:08 AM]
Northern Virginia Journal reports: 'It's not enough that John Hall has made 78 percent of his field goals, including four of six kicks from 50 yards and beyond, he's also one of the Redskins' more reliable players in kick coverage. And not just because of his five touchbacks. Hall also is a weapon because, unlike most kickers, he can actually tackle. It's not often that a kicker would be rewarded for his hits, but Hall has been honored that way twice in his seven years. The second time happened in Washington's 20-17 win over New England last month.'
Bauman to make first career start [5:07 AM]
Northern Virginia Journal reports: 'Ladairis Jackson called him a midget and LaVar Arrington walked by, interrupting an interview, and likened him to a pint-sized ruler in a movie. Rashad Bauman doesn't mind. He ignores their digs, even laughs at them. Besides, his height has never been an issue in his mind. This week, it's not an issue with the Redskins, either. Not with the injuries starting to mount.'
Scouting the Bills [5:06 AM]
Northern Virginia Journal reports: 'Weaknesses: The Bills, like Washington, can't pass protect. Some of that falls on Bledsoe, who holds the ball too long. At times he'll get rattled and force passes. The line and backs have also had problems pass blocking. Buffalo ranks last in the NFL in rushing, averaging 57.5 yards a game. Henry was slowed by a rib injury earlier this season, but appears fine now. Jennings sometimes struggles with speed rushers. If Moulds can't play, the Bills lack a consistent receiver with speed.'
Game Preview [5:05 AM]
Redskins.com reports: 'Probably the most intriguing matchup of the afternoon will be wide receiver Eric Moulds vs. cornerback Champ Bailey. Moulds leads the Bills with 30 receptions for 457 yards and is regarded as one of the premiere receivers in the NFL. Bailey is a three-time Pro Bowler and is regarded as one of the premiere corners in the NFL. But most of the passes will likely be directed at Redskins� cornerback Rashad Bauman, who is filling in for the injured Fred Smoot. Bauman is a second-year player starting his first NFL game and will either square off against Bobby Shaw (26 catches) or Josh Reed (14 catches).'
Former Bills quarterback bashes Buffalo [7:12 PM]
WGRZ-TV reports: 'When asked why Buffalo is such a tough place for an opposing team to play, Johnson dropped his personal bomb. "That's all they have up there. Have you ever been there? It's awful," Johnson said. After sharing a chuckle with the local reporters in D.C., Johnson continued. "Nah, it's alright," he said. "When I was up there, we had two of the worst snowstorms in their history."'
Bills skid raises questions about Williams' status [6:00 PM]
AP reports: 'Cornerback Antoine Winfield provided one curious answer. Asked who was to blame -- players or coaches -- for the team's struggles, Winfield responded: ``It's a combination of both. I think we could split it 50-50.'''
Bills-Redskins Game Sold Out [5:59 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: 'Sunday�s game kicks off at 4:15 PM (it was originally scheduled for 1:00 PM) and will be carried by local FOX affiliates.'
With Smoot out, Redskins turn to 'Lord Farquaad' [5:59 PM]
AP reports: 'Lord Farquaad, for those not familiar with animated mega-movies, is the short guy from ''Shrek.'' And Bauman, generously listed at 5-foot-8, is one of the shortest players on the Redskins roster. The Redskins will need Bauman to stand tall against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, when he replaces injured starter Fred Smoot.'
Bills, Redskins tangle in Buffalo [1:28 PM]
The Sports Network reports: 'Both of these squads are searching desperately for some momentum. Look for both teams to have breakout games and combine to score a lot of points. Buffalo gets the edge due to the home field advantage.'
Bills' owner Wilson to donate $250K to Roswell [1:23 PM]
Business First of Buffalo reports: 'Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson Jr. will spend part of his 85th birthday making a check presentation to Roswell Park Cancer Institute.'
Bills Regular Season Home Games @ 4:00 PM [1:16 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: 'Since 1975, the Buffalo Bills have hosted 16 regular season games that have kicked off at the 4:00 p.m. time slot. Buffalo holds a 9-7 record in these games with their most recent being a loss to the New York Jets on October 7, 2001.'
Bills Games Played On October 19 [1:15 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: 'Sunday, October 19, 1969 - Raiders 50, Bills 21.'
Bills Alumni: Where Are They Now? [1:15 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: 'LB Marlo Perry #58 - 1994-99: The hard-hitting LB and special teamer was a Bills� third round draft choice in 1994 out of Jackson State. He played 60 games with the Bills before an injury ended his pro football career in 1999. He and his wife Sabrina still live in the Buffalo area and are active in the community.'
Smith brings �Hall� career back to town [1:13 PM]
Olean Times Herald reports: '�Bruce is getting up there a bit (in age), he doesn�t play every down like he used to, but he can still bring it when he comes. He�s still got great explosiveness off the ball and he�s still got all the crafty moves that he�s always had."'
McGahee takes good first step [8:55 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"You can tell he's got the talent," fullback Sam Gash said. "It's just going to take him some time to get used to playing again."'
Redskins game looking like recall election [8:54 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'If they don't wake up and start playing that way soon, they might be playing for a new head coach. Hey, maybe they could bring in a real tough guy, like Arnold Schwarzenegger.'
Moulds insists his injured groin is feeling better [8:53 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"But it's nothing really, really serious," said Moulds, who had the same injury in college. "I just think it needs a little bit of rest and a little ice. It's helped me out a lot. It's gotten a lot stronger, so I feel pretty confident."'
Price check: Peerless is missed [8:52 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'The bottom line: The Bills need to do more with what they have.'
Bills RBs get back to work [5:15 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: 'McGahee has been on the reserve/non-football injury list since the beginning of the season, and couldn�t begin practicing until the start of Week 7. Now that he has started, the Bills have up to 21 days to decide whether to elevate him to the 53-man roster. If he�s not ready within that window, he must sit out the rest of the season, though that seems unlikely.'
Uncertainty surrounds Moulds' status [5:14 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: 'Moulds is likely to be a game-time decision. How will he know he can play? �When I�m able to get the deep ball,� he said.'
Bills' Williams is a marked man [5:13 AM]
Toronto Star reports: '"Sure it is," answered Williams when asked if it was embarrassing for a team that was touted as an early AFC contender to now be the most unproductive team in the league.'
Mounting Injuries Present Hurdle for Spurrier, Redskins [5:12 AM]
Washington Post reports: 'Another starter, defensive tackle Jermaine Haley, said he is considering undergoing surgery on his injured thumb. The procedure would sideline him three to four weeks, he said. The Redskins also will be without cornerback Fred Smoot, who has a fractured sternum, and almost certainly will be without tailback Trung Canidate for Sunday's game at Buffalo. But with a bye week after the Bills game, club officials hope both will be able to play Nov. 2 at Dallas.'
Dalton Is Still Waiting His Turn in Line [5:11 AM]
Washington Post reports: 'Redskins officials have received league approval to stop Sunday's game for a brief ceremony if Bruce Smith breaks Reggie White's NFL career sacks record. The veteran defensive end needs two sacks to break the record.'
Redskins priority: Protecting Ramsey [5:10 AM]
Washington Times reports: 'Through six games, Ramsey remains the NFL's most sacked passer (21 times). And he has been hit on countless other occasions and had his left (non-throwing) shoulder sprained twice.'
Haley, Fiore might have surgery [5:09 AM]
WashingtonTimes reports: 'Guard Randy Thomas, defensive end Bruce Smith and linebacker Jeremiah Trotter sat out practice yesterday. All three veterans routinely have been taking days off to rest nagging injuries. The absence of Thomas and Fiore on the offensive line left the Redskins with a first-team guard duo of rookie Derrick Dockery and seldom-used Lennie Friedman. Spurrier said Friedman likely will see some playing time Sunday.'

Search through millions of records to find out more.
February 16, 1904 — Berlin, Germany
Fritz was the youngest of two sons born to a Jewish family in the German capital of Berlin. In the late 1920s he earned a doctorate in chemistry and pharmacy. In 1931 he married Ilse Teppich, and in 1933 the couple had a daughter, Gabriele.
1933-39: Fritz worked in his father's pharmacy until 1938, when the Nazis forced them to sell the business for a fraction of its value to an "Aryan" German [Aryanization]. Leaving his parents behind was agonizing, but concern for the safety of his wife and daughter forced Fritz to move in 1938 to Amsterdam. He opened a pharmacy and then sent for Ilse and Gabriele. One year later his mother joined them. His father elected to remain in Berlin.
1940-44: In May 1940 Germany invaded the Netherlands. Fritz was made a member of the German-appointed Jewish council, and tried to use his position to protect his family from deportation by getting their names on "protective lists." But eventually, in June 1943, they were all deported to the Westerbork transit camp. A month later, Fritz's mother committed suicide: she had learned that she was to be sent to Auschwitz. In 1944 Fritz, Ilse and Gabriele were deported to the Theresienstadt ghetto.
Fritz and his family were liberated when Soviet troops took Theresienstadt in May 1945. After the war, Fritz returned to Amsterdam and re-established his pharmacy.
Ernst was one of five sons born to a Jewish family in the Prussian city ...

What's it take to run a successful restaurant? Good food, obviously. Great customer service. An attractive space that customers want to spend time in. It's not as easy as it sounds…
Owner of ten successful restaurants throughout New York City and Miami (including namesake restaurant, Donatella in NYC) and Iron Chef America judge Donatella Arpaia gets a new gig as restaurant consultant in Cooking Channel special The Donatella Project this Sunday at 8pm ET.
Restaurant owners using frozen ingredients instead of fresh, or eyesore decor that completely overpowers the restaurant experience — these are just a few of the dining disasters Donatella will coach her clients away from. Whether she's putting a new chef to the test or updating the décor from drab to fab, Donatella's coming to the rescue of restaurants in need of her skillful guidance on all issues, big and small.
From the beginning of Donatella's restaurant career, her mother and father Maria and Lello Arpaia have been essential to her success. "My dad's been in the business for 50 years," she says. "And my mother is the biggest inspector of them all. Their opinions and critiques are always spot on."
Check out Donatella's father Lello Arpaia's recipe for Neapolitan Linguine alle Vongole below, from his New York City restaurant Fiorini. Clams, white wine and fresh zucchini make this light pasta the perfect dish for upcoming spring.
And catch The Donatella Project this Sunday at 8pm ET on Cooking Channel.
Lello Arpaia's Neapolitan Linguine alle Vongole
Serving Size: 2
3 1/2 ounces extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, chopped
2 dozen manila clams
3 ounces clam juice
3 ounces white wine
Salt and freshly ground black pepper (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper (or to taste)
8 ounces linguine
1 tablespoon of coursly chopped fresh parsley
1 1/2 oz. finely diced zucchini
Heat 2 ounces of the extra-virgin olive in a 12-inch skillet over moderate-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the garlic and saute until golden brown. Add the clams, clam juice, white wine, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper and red pepper. Cover and steam until the clams open,about 2 to 3 min.
While the clams are cooking, cook the pasta in salted boiling water in a deep pot for 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and add the pasta to the clams. Stir and simmer.This can simmer while you sear the zucchini.
Heat a 6-inch skillet with 1 ounce of extra-virgin olive oil. Sear the zucchini for 1 to 2 minutes. Make sure they keep their natural color. Sear the zucchini at the very end.
Toss the zucchini with the clams and pasta.
Plate in a large bowl, keeping some clams in the shell for presentation. Finish with fresh parsley and the remaining extra-virgin olive oil.

"Nature's velcro" is how one park ranger described plant burrs in an article in Science News,vol 154, p244 about plant burrs that stick to bird's feathers, animal fur and people's clothes. A perceptive reader wrote (SN Vol 154, p339) to remind the park ranger and Science News readers that he had it backwards Velcro is actually man made burrs.
Editorial Comment: Velcro is one of numerous inventions that were inspired by an already existing model in nature. It took intelligent observation and skill to copy burrs and make Velcro, but it took a greater intelligence to make a burr plant, not copied from Velcro and made from nothing but raw materials as described in Genesis 1. (Ref. Velcro, burrs, design)

Exclusive Interview: No Doubt
We asked one of our favourite writers, The Coquette, to interview one of our favourite bands.
Today was a very good day: No Doubt released the video for 'Settle Down', the first single off Push and Shove, which will be their first new album in more than a decade (it's out on September 25 through Universal). Holy shit, right?!
'Settle Down' was directed by Sophie Muller, the woman behind many of No Doubt's memorable videos — think 'Don't Speak' and 'Underneath It All' — and it acts as visual proof that No Doubt still kick ass. Having been around since 1986, they might have kids now and be real-life adults or whatever, but Gwen Stefani is still the absolute best (not to mention the fact that she looks exactly the same as she did in 1995) and Tom, Tony and Adrian still make us want to skank in our bedrooms. Note the group hug at 1:32 — oh, you guys!
To celebrate the return of one of our favourite bands, we asked one of our favourite writers The Coquette — the mysterious lady behind the Dear Coquette advice column and brilliant Notes To My Future Husband — to interview them in LA. The interview was so long that we've decided to split it into two halves, so stay tuned for Part Two next week. We'll let her take it away:
This was all a last-minute thing. Oyster magazine sent me an email the day before asking if I knew anyone in Los Angeles who might be interested in interviewing No Doubt. I thought, "What the hell? Why not cut out early from work and shoot the shit with some rock stars?" The next afternoon I found myself sitting down with the band on the rooftop of Siren Studios in Hollywood to talk about their upcoming album, Push and Shove. It had been a long day of press interviews, and by the time I got to them, everyone was a bit slaphappy. It felt like I'd walked into a classroom of high-schoolers waiting for the bell to ring, and when I told them I was from Oyster, I think they were a little disappointed I didn't have an Australian accent.
Gwen looked drop-dead gorgeous, and Adrian, Tom and Tony, well... they all still looked like boys. They were all filled with a kind of nervous, foot-tapping excitement, and to hear them talk about their music you'd think they were sharing a garage recording with their friends for the very first time. It blew my mind to realise they'd been playing music together since the 80s.
Coquette: It's been a decade since your last album. What took so long?
Adrian: OK, so Rock Steady came out in 2001. We toured in 2002. In 2003 we released the singles collection with 'It's My Life' as one new track. We toured in 2004. From 2005 through 2007, Gwen put out and toured two records. In 2008 there was some writing going on for No Doubt. That was halted, and we went on tour in 2009, and in 2010 writing resumed, and we eventually got to here.
Got it. So you've been working on some of these songs since 2008?
Tom: We got the first one at the end of 2009. In 2008, Gwen was pregnant with Zuma, and we tried really hard to write. We thought we were gonna write an album that year, and it just kinda wasn't coming out. We weren't coming up with stuff that was great, and so rather than keep trying, we turned around and decided to play. Playing live was always the thing that came most naturally to us, what we were naturally best at, and it really worked, so by the end of 2009, we had written the first song for this album, which was 'Undercover', and then, throughout the next year wrote the rest of the album and recorded it in 2011. So I mean, really, most of our albums have taken about that long. Not a ten year gap — as far as the actual writing and recording, it took about two years, which is pretty much on track for us.
Was there a particular song that was more fun for you guys to come up with than the other ones. Were there any standouts?
Tony: Oh, man...
Gwen: There were some. Each song has its own journey, and we had a such a hard time getting started because of my whole situation with having the baby, trying not to burn out, and trying to write again. We finally broke through our first song, 'Undercover'. That one for me was such a joy, because it was like, "We did it! We wrote a song!" It was the pathway to making an album, and then they just started to happen. There was a point where we had a couple going at one time. [Tony giggles knowingly to himself.] It was such a journey. We were only writing together three days a week, because being a mom, there's only so much time. I'd roll in at four o'clock and try to make things happen. Sit on a couch and be like, "This is your time to be creative," knowing that I had to get home and go to sleep because the baby was gonna get up, and I was like, "Aaagh!" You know, it's impossible the way we did it. It was just really, really, really, really hard, so that's what made it that much more rewarding, and I think the struggle made the record that much greater, because we really had to fight for it.
That's what you mentioned yesterday [at the album listening session], you said that you had picked 'Push and Shove' as the title track because it was such a struggle to come together. Do you think that it was worth it? Are you happy with the results?
Gwen: I feel like, yeah. We've done all these things before. We've put records out. We had nine years of underground, really great success in a small pond, and then we had commercial success, and we traveled the world and we had Grammys. We've had all these amazing things. We couldn't even dream it up. We would never even have dreamt it, you know? So we're repeating ourselves in a sense. For us it's more about the journey, proving to ourselves that we can write the best songs that we can write before we die. Like, this is what defines who we are as songwriters. We were open to maybe collaborate on the record, and we did the one collaboration — with Diplo.
That track was so good.
Gwen: It was so hard, trying to write a chorus on somebody else's song that was already started. Somehow it's easier to start it, but I feel super proud of it.
Tony: It's so surreal to be sitting here talking about it, because we spent the last almost three years working on this record, either writing or recording, and to be sitting here with an almost finished record is pretty exciting.
How did it feel to be back in the recording studio together again?
Tom: It was good. Thing is, before when Gwen did her solo albums and we took a break, before that we had worked so hard for so many years. You know, we lived together in buses on the road for months on end, and it was really healthy to take a break. And by taking a break when came back together to make this record we were kind of reinvigorated. It was exciting again. Burnout is something that's never helpful when you're trying to be creative. We really learned that when we were making this record. In the old days we would work twelve hour days, five days a week. We'd work so hard. On this album it was more like six to eight hour days, three days a week. It was easier to be more creative, you know?
Adrian: And this was the first record we've done with children.
All of you have children now?
Adrian: Yeah, there are eight.
Tom: Eight kids.
Adrian: All the other records are with zero.
That's gotta be a huge difference. You mentioned that touring and performing is what you guys really love to do, so are you gonna do a tour with this album?
Gwen: We're gonna do promoting this year, because I have my children, so we can't do the tour yet, but we were thinking maybe next year. We would ultimately love to tour, it just depends on how everything comes together.
Adrian: The goal is to go out next year.
With the kids?
Tom: With the kids.
Adrian: Yeah, with the kids.
I have to say, one of the most memorable concerts I've ever been to was when you opened up for U2 at the Staples Center a couple of days after 9/11. Everyone was still walking around in shock, but you guys brought so much energy that night. It was actually pretty cathartic. I'll never forget, you were just jumping all over the stage. So much energy. You could tell you guys really loved what you were doing.
Tony: Wow. Yeah. That was an amazing time.
Gwen: Mindblowing. I can't believe we did that.
Tom: That was such a fun time for us. It was hard, because it was after 9/11, but growing up I was a huge U2 fan. You know, probably of the group I was the biggest U2 fan. It was huge to open for them. It was really fun to get to know those guys. We got to fly on their chartered private jet with them. We would hub into shows, so we would drive from home to Van Nuys at three in the afternoon, fly to Sacramento, do a show, police escort back to the plane, fly home, and be in bed by three in the morning. We did that for, like, fourteen shows, right? [Adrian nods]
Are there still artists like that on your wishlist that you would want to tour with or work with?
Gwen: The idea of pressure and writing with someone that I admire would be too much for me. I don't feel like I need to do that anymore. I did it, and I learned a lot from it, but I don't think I have the energy for that right now, and I was real eager to do that when I was doing my solo records, and it was really hard and hurt a lot, and he [she indicates to Tony] did it a lot as well, and I think by us doing that is what helped us write this record together, and make a record that we're excited about. I do feel a excited about writing still. If I had more time I would do it.
Yeah, I mean, you have your clothing lines, too, that you're still doing.
Gwen: Yeah, you know. I have three clothing lines. [Everyone laughs]
Gwen: It's ridiculous. I got myself in way too deep [more laughter]. I've just been trying my best. I started those lines ten years ago, because I didn't think ten years later I'd still be doing this. I was trying to plan something that I could do creatively. You know, start a line. That just seemed like a really good idea, and it was, except for now I'm doing three of them, and now this album, so I pray that I can just keep it going where I'm super involved still, but I'm not flying out and doing it.
Of course. Are you still doing the trade shows?
Gwen: I haven't been able to do fashion week for two seasons because school starts in September. I have a girl that's really involved. She's always styled the shows anyway, and so she's in New York. She reports back, and I'm involved, but there's only so much I can do at one time. The music has been the priority this year. I did Harajuku Mini, but I had worked on that already for three years, so by the time it came out it was rolling. But with L.A.M.B. it's a lot. Every season is big. I love doing it, but it's a business. I like that.

Foreign Minister Westerwelle on the Security Council Resolution on Libya
After the adoption of Security Council resolution 1973, Foreign Minister Westerwelle issued the following statement in Berlin:
"The Security Council of the United Nations has adopted a second resolution on the situation in Libya.
When the resolution was put to vote, Germany abstained.
The resolution contains significantly tougher international sanctions against the Gaddafi regime. We welcome and support this, as we ourselves had pushed in this direction.
We are still very sceptical, however, about the option of a military intervention in Libya, also contained in the resolution. We see considerable risks in this. Therefore we cannot subscribe to this part of the resolution.
German soldiers will not participate in a military action in Libya.
Our position towards the Gaddafi regime remains unchanged: The dictator must immediately stop the violence against his own people. He has to go and he must be held responsible for his crimes."

Hemophilia and Inherited Bleeding Disorders
Continuous Bleeding after Plasma Donation
I am a regular plasma donor for the past 2 years and prior to that a regular blood donor for the past 20+ years. Last week after my plasma donation, my arm continued to bleed. I rewrapped w/clean gauze and elastic bandage, elevated my arm and applied ice for 15 min. Not sure when it stopped b/c I feel asleep w/it wrapped and didn`t wake up until the next day. I have never had the continual bleeding thing happen in the past. I usually remove the wrap and gauze witin and hour and I am fine. Is it scar tissue that causes this? If not, what else could it be. I don`t take aspirin and didn`t do anything unusual like exert the arm to make this occur.
First, let me apologize for not getting back to you sooner. I thought I had already answered this question.
Now in response to your question, I cannot state absolutely that your post-phlebotomy oozing was due to scar tissue but that would seem to me to be the most likely reason especially since you say you are not taking medications that might inhibit the clotting process.
Some individuals make more scar tissue in response to injury and this blood vessel just may have a more stiff vessel wall due to scar tissue. It may not be the entire vessel but just one small area that is affected. As a precaution remember to put more pressure on that area once the needle is removed.

"I'll tell you what you did, Caligula, you've combined food and sex into one disgusting uncontrollable urge." – Jerry Seinfeld
The loose-belted maker of Sex Cereal references Seinfeld in his story about coming up with the idea for the "world's first and only gender-based whole food cereal," but he failed to heed Jerry's wisdom. So now there is a cereal "blended with ingredients shown to support testosterone and then some" for men and a cereal "blended with ingredients shown to support hormonal balance and then some" for women.
Their site breaks down the ingredients with explanations of how bee pollen and wheat germ might boost your virility. And then they have this confusing and disturbing video that shows the product's effects. It's fairly safe for work, except that apparently after "lots of Sexcereal" you end up with kids in your bed?

Wow. That's pretty remarkable. Actually, Japanese combines three separate script types in one writing system: the semanto-phonetic kanji, two related but functionally distinct syllabaries (katakana and hiragana) and the alphabetic romaji.
Malay has also gone through six or seven distinct scripts belonging to three script types: three historically related syllabic alphabets/abugidas (old Kawi, a later Kawi-based Sumatran script, and early Javanese script), the central Malay bamboo script (and likely, though there is no direct physical evidence, its direct ancestor, a commercial script derived from early Gujarati script), the Arabic-derived Jawi abjad, and finally the Latin alphabet.
Javanese, Bugis and Makassarese also went the same route: first an Indic abugida, then a derivative of Arabic script, then the Latin alphabet, and Makassarese actually went through two distinct indigenous abugidas: Bugis-Makassarese script and another script often called "Old Makassarese" that despite the name was probably younger, being for the most part directly based on a variety nearly identical to the Sumatran bamboo script used by Malay.

UPAVON rider Morgan Edwards will have a second crack at breaking in to the big time when he heads Stateside again this summer, looking to impress at the world's largest amateur motocross competition.
Edwards, 21, who has raced across the pond since the age of 16, flew out to compete in last year's AMA (American Motorcycle Association) Amateur Motocross Championships at Loretta Lynn Ranch, in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee, but a dislocated shoulder he suffered in an accident curtailed his campaign.
But, after licking his wounds, Edwards is set to return to Tennessee on June 10 to take on Loretta Lynn once again and put himself in the shop window in front of a host of professional team scouts.
"I had an accident in the first motocross at Loretta Lynn last year and dislocated my shoulder, which put me out of action for a good few weeks," said the Wiltshire speedster.
"Having got so close, I trained hard this winter and competed in a number of championships, and I've again qualified for Loretta Lynn – hopefully I will have better luck than last year.
"It's an awesome track, being very technical, and last year it caught a lot of the world's top riders out."
In March, Edwards warned up for his AMA Championships bow by picking up one of the best results of his career – a second-placed class finish at the Daytona Amateur Supercross, at the Daytona International Speedway in Florida.
He said: "There were over 1300 riders and live media coverage. The competition is definitely a huge event, with scouts and contingency from most of the main bike manufacturers.
"It was clear from the footage that my training paid off as my stamina helped me increase my lap times and had I had just a quarter of a lap would have taken the win.
"Getting to the States and to get this far has been expensive and in order to pursue my dream, I even had to sell my beloved car to fund the trip.
"I am always looking for new sponsors and now have a web site and a Facebook page where I can be contacted, so that anyone that is interested can get in touch."

Gilbert and Sullivan's The Yeomen of the Guard
New Rosemere AOS
The Albert Halls from March 15 to 17
Tickets £12/£10 from 01204 334400
MUSICALS are to a good play what golf is to a good walk. Or perhaps that is being unkind to golf.
But at least the G&S affairs have a few laughs. Yeomen is one of the less comedic - more of a Shakespearian tragedy - but still a decent romp with twists and turns a plenty.
Set around the Tower of London in Tudor England, the action, punctuated by a series of toe-tappers, excellently performed by the highly regarded New Rosemere company, centres on the fortunes, or lack thereof, of four chaps and three chapesses, each looking for a mate, all against the unlikely backdrop of one facing the death penalty for alchemy.
Sounds like a plot from EastEnders, doesn't it?
Anyway, as we all know, four into three doesn't go, and at least one is left unhappy by the end, with at least two others destined for unhappy marrriages.
The one chap left heartbroken at the end - I won't say who - has a lucky escape if you ask me. Waste of time, marriage. Less time to play golf and go to musicals.
It was a faithful enough reproduction, albeit with a couple of nice new gags bringing it up to date.
The Deal or No Deal reference went down well, but a sly dig at Peter Kay by the jester fell on flat ears.
David Seagar was excellent as Sir Richard Cholmondley and Danny Shaw put in a neat turn as Colonel Fairfax.
Standouts were Bob Wardle as the jester Jack Point and the rather foxy Eleanor Molloy as Elsie Maynard.
Hannah Carolan and Ken Rees were superb as unlucky-in-love Phoebe Meryll and her father Sgt Meryll.
While Liz Tatlock, who tormented the sergeant throughout, and head jailor Ken Brook, also provided a good few laughs.
A good all round show.
