Beehive and honey

"...Sims can raise a colony of bees and produce copious amounts of delicious sweet stuff -- provided you put in a little effort. Should you not take good care of the bees, well, they let you know. They sting you!
The beekeeping box must be placed outside on the lot.
The box produces honey, which can be used in Cooking.
The happier the bees, the better quality.
Any time you interact with the beekeeping box, you risk getting stung. However, happy bees rarely sting!
To make bees happy, you must regularly choose the Feed and Clean interactions on the beekeeping box. Depending on the bees' current state, you risk getting stung or attacked when attempting to clean. But regular cleaning results in a lower chance of being attacked, so you can see how once you get over the hurdle, beekeeping can be smooth sailing. You must also feed bees regularly. Like cleaning, you risk a bee sting. Both of these activities raise the mood of the bees, but like your Sims' moods, over time the mood of the bees decays unless you attend to them.
Honey is produced every few hours. When honey is ready, you can click on the box and choose the Harvest interaction to claim it.
Happy bees produce perfect, outstanding, excellent and great honey.
Content bees produce normal, nice and very nice honey.
Angry bees produce bad, horrifying and putrid honey.
To harvest the honey, it's often a good idea to use the Smoke Out interaction to calm the bees. This seems like a win-win, but there are costs to regularly using Smoke Out before harvesting. This interaction reduces both hunger and mood, which over time can lower the quality of the honey or wax.

Hopefully they will fix this in the next update!
I just checked the official forums, apparently there is a known bug with the beehives - it never shows as clean. Which means the option is there regardless of the actual cleanliness/dirtiness of the hive. No wonder the bees are angry...
As far as you getting only lousy honey I don't know what to say other than mention that my sim did get great honey and beeswax so I do know that it is possible to get something better.

The honey and beeswax my sims got was from their own hive. I haven't been to the alchemy shop. I wish I knew what else to tell you.
I've gotten great & perfect honey from the hives at the alchemy shop, just not from the hive at my sim's home.
My sims are both fairies if that makes any difference.

I did it! I got perfect honey and beeswax from my hive at home. Apparently the trick is to clean & feed at least twice a day.

Rainbow Resort to host XC ski event
If there were ever a year for a snowy rendezvous, it would be this year.
Folks at the Rainbow Resort located between Park Rapids and Waubun, are getting ready for the 12th annual Rainbow Rendezvous XC Ski Event.
Skiing for the Rendezvous goes from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, March 1.
And this year, the trails are everything a ski resort could want for its guests.
"We've had 64 inches of snow here so far this year," said one of the resorts owners, Linda Schumann, who says her husband, Doug, has been all over those 64 inches with his groomers.
"The trails are absolutely excellent," she said. "The base is almost unbelievable; it's a good, solid base that is almost bullet proof."
Those trails can prove adventurous to just about any style skier, too, as they snake around shelter of the mixture of conifer and deciduous trees.
"The terrain is so beautiful and so varied," said Schumann. "We have some challenging trails with hills, some flatter, some roller coaster hills…so it gives a lot of different types of skiing situations."
The race will include competitions in the 10K Skate and 10K Classic.
The difference lies within the style.
"Classic skiing is where you have a track set within this nice, deep defined track set," said Schumann. "Skate is more of a freestyle where it's not in a groove, but the style is more of a skating effect where they go back and forth and the trail is groomed much wider for that."
For the skiers interested in the joys of the sport without the competition, the event will also feature a 6K and 10K tour.
"That's for the more casual type of skier who just wants to be out there doing the loop without it necessarily being a timed race," said Schumann.
"So maybe families or some of the beginners or just the relaxed type of skier would enjoy that."
For some Rendezvous participants there will be medals and awards; for all registered participants there will be soup, coffee, cookies and hot chocolate afterwards.
"It's such a fun event," said Schumann, who says there will be live music and all kinds of winter activities to do, including snowshoeing, sledding and ice skating.
And if visitors are lucky, they may even bump into a world-class skier or two.
"I have invited several skiers that had been training for this winter Olympics," said Amy Xu, event coordinator and resort partner.
"They are native Minnesotans; some of them will be participating in the closing ceremony in Sochi and some of those didn't get to go but were close."
Xu says she believes events like the one at Rainbow Resort have a real connection with the winter Olympics, as its participants often come from non-professional genres.
"They're normal people with families and jobs who also manage to train for a competition like the Olympics, and it's these type of events and people I think we need to support."
People of all ages are welcome to the Rainbow Rendezvous, which is $40 per person.
Participants can also register as teams.
For the first time, there is also online registration available on the resort's website at rainbowresort.com.
"In only about four weeks and we won't be able to ski anymore," said Xu, "so I encourage everybody to just come out and have a good time because there is still a lot of beauty out there."

We recognize the importance of a personal and professional life throughout one's residency training program. We strive to provide a collegial, supportive, nurturing environment for all our housestaff. This is done through careful planning and attention to residents' individual schedules, call responsibilities, and support from the residency administrative staff.
During each training year, residents attend a retreat geared toward their current PGY class. The retreats provide an opportunity to meet for educational sessions on topics not typically considered part of a standard residency curriculum, such as "applying to fellowship programs" and "life after residency: considerations when job hunting". They also include time for relaxing and socializing.
In addition, a series of social gatherings are scheduled throughout the year including, residency-sponsored sports teams, an annual curling outing, Resident/Faculty bowling and golf tournaments, our competitive competition of useless knowledge titled "College Bowl," Milwaukee Brewers baseball games, monthly "Chief Rounds" to celebrate the end of each rotation and the resident graduation banquet.
The Medical College of Wisconsin Affiliated Hospitals (MCWAH) also has a wonderful support group for residents' significant others and families, the Residents' Spouse Association.

Sir – It is always a lovely feeling when reading some good news about our beautiful town.
When I heard that the wonderful news of Tower Hill's recent Ofsted report was being celebrated on the Witney Gazette website, I couldn't wait to read the article.
However, the website chose possibly the worst headline to convey the good news.
Rather than focusing on the success of the school, the website put a pessimistic slant on the news and chose the headline 'Tower Hill no longer among country's worst primary schools'.
I found this a very disappointing start to the article, which continued to disappoint which such statements as "a primary school that was once dubbed the fourth worst in the country is on its way to turning things around".
I would argue that the school has already turned things around.
I hope the next time there is good news to share, the headline reflects it. Well done, Tower Hill.
William Harte, High Street, Witney

Rx drug abuse a growing problem for doctors, officials
It was a scene close to what Dr. Marc Breen remembered from hospitals in Chicago.
Last December, Breen found himself swamped with new patients over the course of his 12-hour shifts at the emergency room of Community Hospital: three to four people per shift who weren't dying, but in desperate need of narcotics. The rush came within days of the closure of a local clinic that was being investigated over whether it offered easy and often questionable access to a variety of high-powered, painkilling narcotics.
Urgent Care, a clinic operated by Dr. Sam Jahani and Dr. Eric Peper, or the "candymen" as Breen and others referred to them, had been raided by federal agents before the facility later closed its doors.
"That was the roughest month I've had with belligerent patients," Breen said.
Some had legitimate pain and went to the emergency room after being shunned by primary care doctors, searching for ways to maintain hugely elevated amounts of pain medications they'd become used to, usually with morphine or Oxycontin.
"Medications I would typically prescribe wouldn't have touched them," Breen said. "You're dealing with people you can't make headway with and there's no good answer how to help them."
With increased prescription-drug abuse affecting hospitals and the Mesa County criminal justice system, local officials are plotting how to respond.
As Mesa County prosecutors claim headway in battling methamphetamine over the past three years, reflected in a decline of meth-related felony filings, cases involving prescription drugs represent a steadily growing piece of the local felony caseload.
From January to March, prescriptions drugs accounted for roughly a quarter of Mesa County drug filings, just more than a 10 percent increase measured against the same period dating back to 2007, according to figures from the District Attorney's Office.
Crime spree
Chief Deputy District Attorney Dan Rubinstein believes law enforcement's tightened grip on Jahani and Peper played out afterward in a crime spike.
"The habit hasn't gone away, but people are no longer able to get to the scripts they were depending on," Rubinstein said.
Rubinstein and others believe the two doctors, who remain under investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration, are the exception among western Colorado physicians who largely are responsible in distribution of prescription drugs.
A subcommittee of Colorado's Meth Task Force is in the early stages of crafting legislation intended on cracking down on doctor shopping, the practice of obtaining multiple, overlapping prescriptions for the same drug in a short period of time.
Rubinstein, who chairs a prescription drug working group of the task force, is knee-deep in a proposal that would overhaul Colorado's online Prescription Monitoring Database, which went live in July 2007. The database was aimed at giving professionals another tool to flag doctor shopping, with information including patients' names and medications prescribed, as well as when and where they were filled. Colorado pharmacies are required by law to report the dispensing of controlled narcotics to the system.
The database is flawed because pharmacies are required to send data only bimonthly, leaving people plenty of time to scam the system.
Rubinstein said the proposal would mandate data entry at the time of filling a prescription, while a "hold" would be placed on the request if an overlapping prescription for the same medication exists.
The doctor who issued the earlier prescription would have to give his or her approval for overriding the flag before filling the new request.
"This operates under the assumption doctors and pharmacists provide good patient care if given complete and accurate information on a patient's situation," Rubinstein said.
Delays for all
Cost, and the logistics, of wiring all Colorado pharmacies with real-time technology remains among the proposal's biggest obstacles.
"I wonder how many physicians are routinely checking (the existing database) right now?" Breen asked, noting Grand Valley doctors also have access to another database, the Quality Health Network, which includes information on a patient's emergency room visits and physician care notes.
Delays for customers, pharmacists and doctors are also concerns.
"Most of my time is often forced into more paperwork than patient care," Breen said of insurance, regulatory, legal and billing demands. "More regulation just takes me farther away from my patients."
A national narcotic and prescription database, accessible by any licensed health professional, would reach across state lines but would present its own potential pitfalls, the doctor said.
"I routinely see the 90-year-old patient who 'forgot her meds at home' and can't remember a single med," Breen said, while also raising concerns about patient privacy in such a system.
"What if an insurance company found that you were on Prozac 10 years ago, and now doesn't want to cover mental health issues under some vague pre-existing conditions clause?" he asked.

I had a closed rhinoplasty, where the prominent hump on my nose was removed, and the tip projected slightly. I also had the depressor muscles detatched to prevent the nose drooping when I smiled.
However I now have a very stiff and almost immovable upper lip, which doesn't move when I talk or smile, giving the appearance of it almost being paralysed. Is this normal, and will it eventually heal?

Chrissy Teigen

Brunette bombshell Chrissy Teigen, who often calls Las Vegas home, is rumored by insiders to be the prestigious cover girl of Sports Illustrated's 50th anniversary Swimsuit Issue.
The golden birthday front cover will be revealed Thursday on Jimmy Kimmel's new late-night ABC talk show, and then the cover model will be there Monday for an interview.
In previous years, the cover has been revealed on David Letterman's CBS late-night talk show. The Sports Illustrated supermodels have called Las Vegas home the past three years for the magazine launch parties but this year have moved to Miami Beach, Fla. The swimsuit issue is seen by 70 million people each year.
Chrissy, who wed R&B singer John Legend last September in Italy after dating for four years, would follow in the footsteps of bikini beauty Kate Upton, who graced the cover the past two years — an unprecedented feat.
Chrissy's layout was shot in the Cook Islands of the South Pacific near New Zealand. "I've been to a lot of beaches, but this was unreal," she said.
The 28-year-old 5-foot-9 stunner, whose measurements are 34C-25-35, was born in Utah, moved with her family to Las Vegas and made her debut in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue in 2010 after appearing on "Deal or No Deal" for the 2006-2007 TV season.
Her mother is Thai, and her father is Norwegian. Chrissy was the host of the reality-TV competition series "Model Employee' filmed for VH1 at Mandalay Bay that we covered here at Vegas DeLuxe.
John and Chrissy, who live in New York and Los Angeles, are regulars here in with his nightclub and concert appearances. They appear together in his music video for "All of Me" and hosted New Year's Eve at Haze in Aria.
On Monday, Chrissy made headlines posting an Instagram video showing her giving him a topless hug. While on the Strip for Swimsuit Issue promotions last year, she had her handprints cemented in the walk of fame at Planet Hollywood.
At an Encore Beach Club Sports Illustrated "Summer of Swim" party at Surrender in Steve Wynn's Encore, she told me: "Both John and I love Las Vegas. We get to spend time with family and enjoy the city. We both love Las Vegas."
Chrissy also said of "Model Employee": "I loved hosting the reality TV show. It was six solid weeks of nonstop work," she told me. "I'd be getting up and going to makeup just as the late-night revelers were passing me on their way to bed. You see some very strange things at that time of the morning!"
Robin Leach has been a journalist for more than 50 years and has spent the past decade giving readers the inside scoop on Las Vegas, the world's premier platinum playground.

Scripture… As We Live It #75
This is the 75th installment in "Scripture… As We Live It":
Above all, keep
loving one another checking one another's theology earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins right theology will keep you pure. (1 Peter 4:8 re-mix)

Yes…right theology is the answer to all of my problems…and it helps me to point out yours as well. 🙂
Alan, I am curious. Do you make a distinction between theology and doctrine? If yes, what?

You've probably read dozens of those breathless "the future is now!" articles about digital media production — you know, "Today's accessible desktop tools have enabled artists and fans to share art in amounts and ways (legal and otherwise) that would have been inconceivable just a few short years ago."
Nothing wrong with that. But today we're going to go further, to show that sharing digital art does not have to be as black-and-white as many people think. There are a million beautiful shades of gray between sending a cease-and-desist letter to everyone who even views an artwork and submitting to international peer pressure to give all your art away to everyone, forever.
This article swims in those grays, arguing that you should pick the right place on the continuum for each project, rather than have an immovable blanket policy on all artistic dissemination, staunchly defending your camp in an "us and them" manner.
When I was touring the squats of Europe in 2003 on a self-booked tour with my first film, D.I.Y. or DIE: How To Survive as an Independent Artist, I often got an interesting mix of feedback in the Q&A after each showing. The comments ran from "How did you put this together?" to "Would you accept a million Euros to make a film?" (Answer: "Yes, under my own terms.") But almost every showing also had some crusty anarchist punker with some variation of "Why did you put the copyright notice at the end of the film? Copyright is stealing."
The film in question had already come out in 2002 as a DVD called DIY or DIE: Burn This DVD, of which I allowed — and often encouraged — people to make personal copies. (This was before I'd ever heard of Creative Commons; it was my attempt at inventing a system like that.)
Painter Mark Enger explains what's wrong with most art. (Still from D.I.Y or DIE.)
Yet I did consciously place a copyright notice at the end of the film. I like selling my art, and I like giving my art away. A copyright notice may not prevent people from making personal copies (nor did I care), but it might help if someone bootlegged the film, pressed 5,000 copies, and sold them. It also might have helped had someone inserted an ad for some company I hate and rebroadcast the film on TV. But it wouldn't help with everything, nor could I anticipate everything that might come up.
I recall one evening in Lyon, France. The two guys who were putting on the screening took me out for pizza before the show. A few of their buddies tagged along. At dinner, one said to me, "I have seen your film, and loved it. I would love to put this on the Internet for free, if you will allow me."
I replied, "Let me think about that for a few minutes," and chewed my food. Conversation lulled around the table. Everyone was basically waiting for my answer. I quickly weighed the pros and cons, finished a slice, and finally said, "Yes, that's okay with me. Just let me know when and where and please e-mail me a link." (He never did e-mail me the link, though he did post my film.)
Then I paused, thought some more, and asked him, "What would you have done if I'd told you I did not want you putting my film on the Internet?" Without any hesitation he replied, "I would have put it on the Internet anyway, because this documentary is too important to not share. This film is more important than you as the auteur, and more important than your desires."
You gotta love the French. But I was flattered: in some sense, making a debut film that people are willing to defy you in order to propagate is hitting the ball out of the park on the first try. But in another way, I was taken aback, and so were a couple of my dinner companions. This quickly evolved into a debate, two of the guys arguing that this fellow was right, and two arguing that I had a right to choose when and where to give away my art. I stayed out of it, and listened to them go back and forth in English and French. I finished my meal, and we walked back to two smoke-filled showings of my film.
Gwar feeds the Pope to a dinosaur in this still from D.I.Y or DIE.
There is a great movement afoot in the world to reform or even destroy (or at least ignore) copyright law entirely. It is largely propagated by three camps. First are people who can't seem to make a living selling their content, so they are left with giving their stuff away and therefore think everyone else should, too. Second are people who do not create any content, or have a hacker/communist ethic that everything should be free and that property is theft (like the squatters who called me out for putting a copyright notice in my own movie). And last, and perhaps most vocal, are writers who make a living writing about other people's content. This includes many high-profile bloggers, and also people who run directories or somehow make their living linking other people's content.
I absolutely agree with three basic bullet points of all three camps. First, technology has changed faster than copyright law and the whole system needs some overhauling. Next, I agree that the huge brick-and-mortar international conglomerates that make their living by owning content created by others are headed the way of the mammoth in the tar pits, and new models are going to replace them. And finally, I agree that just because the piggy copyright banks of the old economy were on top for the past 90 years doesn't mean they are guaranteed the right to continue, unless they change and keep earning their place.
But there are two places I disagree strongly with the three camps described above: I do not believe that property is theft. And I do not believe in a "one size fits all" solution for content creators who administer their own intellectual property.
The most famous alternative approach to copyright is Creative Commons (cc), a new way of putting varying types of protection on work you create. There are six different levels of "licenses," it's free, and anyone can do it. In fact, many people are. Creative Commons can vary from practically giving everything away to the public domain to giving your art away but allowing people to make derivative works provided you get credit and the derivative work itself is released as Creative Commons. However, no matter which license you pick, you are allowing people to make copies of your work for free.
Some people claim to be making a living doing this. Some people release their books, music, and films for free as electronic downloads (of the complete work, not just a sample), but also sell hard copies (printed books, CDs, and DVDs). But most people who claim to make a living doing this are really making the bulk of their money doing something else, such as consulting, lecturing, or teaching. (Also, an inordinate number of them seem to do UNIX programming or UNIX network administration.)
Some of the people who say they make their living with this free-and-paid model are also the people who shout, "Copyright is theft!" the loudest. And many of them really make most of their money commenting on other people's content (in print or on high-traffic ad-supported blogs).
Killian MacGeraghty of the Gun and Doll Show hangs out in his band van, where he may or may not have been living when this movie interview took place.
I've done practically everything you can do as far as different levels of copyright/copyleft and free-vs.-pay schemes for music, books, and film. I've been signed to Warner Brothers. I've been signed to indie record labels. I've put out vinyl records myself on my own label. I've released a film as a DVD with no region encoding, no copy protection, and subtitles in five languages on one disc. (Commercial DVD releases would never allow any of that, as it makes it harder to pre-sell different parts of the world.)
A pub audience in Sheffield, England, about to watch the film.
I've written books on an advance, sold the copyright to the publisher, and received continuing quarterly royalties for the books. I've self-published a book and sold copies out of the trunk of my car. I've given away a book for free on the Internet, with the Quark source files free for download under Creative Commons so anyone can translate or "remix" the book, and still got paid to write the book. I currently do two weekly podcasts that I give away for free, and I am not seeking advertisers for them. (As I like to say, I'm maintaining my amateur status so I can compete in the Olympics.)
And in each case, with every project and every medium mentioned above, putting the project out exactly as I did was exactly the right thing to do, for that particular project.
What I'm saying is this: I believe in a free-flowing global exchange of information. I believe free flow is important to continue advancements in art, science, and commerce. And I believe in Fair Use. But I also am not a communist, and I enjoy getting paid for something I work very hard on. I think the artist (or content creator, if you like) will do well to learn what all the various options are, all the different levels of copyright, copyleft, free, and pay, and adjust accordingly on a project-by-project basis.
Don't believe the pundits, intellectuals, or dumpster-diving squatters who tell you that any one way is the right way or the wrong way. Don't let anyone guilt you into doing anything you don't want to do with your art. Your art is your baby. Respect it, love it, cherish it, but don't devalue it just because "everyone's doing it."
Art belongs to the ages, but it primarily belongs to the artist. To you. You are free to do with your art as you please. And that's true anarchy.
The little film that could.
I've done many projects in my life, including music, books, podcasts, and films, but the one that's gotten the most word-of-mouth attention was the film D.I.Y. OR DIE: How To Survive as an Independent Artist .
You can watch the trailer here:
The entire film went up on YouTube this month as well, split into chapters:
"D.I.Y." stands for "Do It Yourself." Fittingly, not only is the film about D.I.Y., it was made and promoted in a very D.I.Y. manner.
D.I.Y or DIE sold only about 5,000 copies on DVD, but there are a lot more copies out there in the world, because I released it with no region encoding, no copy protection, and no restriction on making personal copies.
I did make it clear: if you make commercial copies and sell them for profit, I'll come after you, lawyers blazin'. But you're free to make up to ten copies and give them away, or sell them for a dollar (the price of a blank DVD and what I figure is the value of the time to burn a copy). And anyone who receives a copy is free, in turn, to make their own ten non-commercial copies. And so on.
I even sold burned copies of my film after it was already licensed to an independent distributor, and the distributor didn't care, because the attention and press we got from releasing it with the "burn ten copies" model sold more copies. I also made more money from sales on the road, and didn't have to bring a lot of copies with me. I burned more as needed at people's houses along the way.
Burned copies of my film at a café showing in Germany. Yup — I bootlegged my own film.
I've done other projects that sold many more copies, and I've done projects that made more money, but this one really hit a chord with a lot of people. It's more of a short (55 minute), portable mission statement than a standard documentary. The movie examines the motivations of artists — starving and famous — and explains, in their own words, why they do what they do, regardless of a paycheck.
The inventor of industrial music, Foetus, looking much like Vincent Van Gogh. (Still from D.I.Y or DIE.)
I didn't decide to be a filmmaker and then make D.I.Y or DIE. I taught myself filmmaking because I wanted to make this film. I needed to make this film. It needed to exist. If another documentary that expressed the same idea had already existed, I wouldn't have bothered.
I made the film by hook or by crook. I ran up credit cards. I flew, took busses, and rode bicycles to interviews. When I couldn't get to a city to interview someone, I e-mailed them the questions and either had them interview and film themselves and send me the tape, or I had a friend in their town do it. I wrote an article called "MAKE a Mailbox Movie" for Make magazine detailing the process.
Filmmaker and photographer Richard Kern interviewing himself for the movie.
The other reason D.I.Y or DIE was such a success (and I measure the success of something by the effect it has on people, not on units shipped) is that I got out there and took it to the people. I did three US tours and one of Europe, personally working 77 cities; did Q&A after; and planted seeds of copies everywhere for people to copy. You can see all my photos of my European tour, as well as my tour diary, here.
I made it easy for people to book the film by putting the trailer, one-sheet description, flyer, promo stills, and downloadable contract on the film's site.
Flyer for D.I.Y or DIE in France.
I left for all the tours hoping to break even, and actually made money on all of them. It was great. A paid vacation, spreading an important message, and I had the time of my life. And six years after the film was completed, I still get checks in the mail for sales and showings every month.
People still e-mail me from all over the world and ask if they can show D.I.Y or DIE in their country. Sometimes they show it even without asking, and I find out from a Google Alert. I'm fine with that. I made the film to reach people, not to make money. So if someone helps it reach people, they're doing my work for me.
I'm a cat lover, and allow and encourage anyone anywhere to screen the film as a benefit showing to raise money for their local animal shelter or rescue. (I only ask that they buy one copy to do so.) I'm able to approve things like this without the authorization of partners, producers, co-owners or investors, because there are none.
When you do it yourself, you may end up not shipping millions of "units," but you also don't have to appeal to anyone else to do whatever you want with your art. And if you make something that people want, that people need, they're willing to step up and help you get it out there.
If I'd sold D.I.Y or DIE to a major media corporation, I wouldn't have had the freedom to tour with it at will without asking permission. I would never have gotten away with releasing it without copy protection. And I could have gone to jail for bootlegging my own film, because once you sell something, it is no longer your own.
A window sign in England.
After I posted the whole movie on YouTube, I posted a bulletin about it on the Yahoo Podcasters' Forum. This wasn't "drive-by spam"; it was a notice to my friends on a group where I'm a long-running regular.
What happened next is a testimonial to the potential of D.I.Y. promotion. Another regular on the board had recently been hired by Microsoft. He was the podcast acquisition coordinator for the upcoming launch of the Zune Marketplace (Microsoft's equivalent of the iTunes Store) and Zune.net. He contacted me off-board, said he'd checked out the movie, and asked if I'd like to make it a high-quality download as an episodic video podcast on ZM and Zune.net? He said he'd make it one of the top-four featured video podcasts. I immediately said Yes.
No money was exchanged. Microsoft got content, and I got hits — many, many terabytes of downloads (with unlimited throughput hosted on Libsyn).
I see no problem dealing with Microsoft. It's no violation of the imaginary "punk code" to me, though I got a few snitty e-mails implying that it was. Anyone making any new media is using tools — at least hardware — made by major corporations. When was the last time you saw some punker running Linux on a laptop with integrated circuits burned in his own sterile laboratory? Can't be done.
But even people who didn't think I'd sold out my punk ethic wondered about my reasons for putting the whole movie on Zune in near-DVD quality (30fps, 900kbps MP4 files at 640x480-pixel resolution with 128kbps stereo audio) and no digital rights management or copy protection when the DVD version is still selling.
I have a lot of reasons, but here's a good one:
Since all media has more or less become free (or at least free to people willing to just take it), I've discovered that the easiest way to make a living is to work on making my name into the commodity.
I never turn down an interview, I answer all e-mails from people who check out my stuff, and I give art away. A lot. The point is not to generate money, but to generate more "ink," more of me on the Internet, the press, podcasts, radio, TV, etc. As of this writing, Google listed 13,500 hits for the title of the movie — more than the number of DVDs sold. My name, "Michael W. Dean," generated 33,000 hits.
Me in front of graffiti in Dublin. This phrase is my personal motto. Apparently it's someone else's personal motto, too.
Frequent positive attention on the Internet increases your value as a "name," making it easier to get quick-money side gigs, lecture work, book deals, consulting work, and other opportunities. Also, when you do a project and go to sell it, having your name out there means the media middlemen, as well as the consumers, are more likely to say, "Oh yeah, I've heard of that (director/photographer/musician/writer)."
I keep my soul happy by making art. But I make my living mostly from explaining my production and distribution processes to other people who have similar goals — people who want to produce quality art and get it out into the world. I didn't make DIY or DIE to make money, though the Zune feature, and the resulting press, may well help sell DVDs. More important, the massive downloads from the Zune feature will help spread the message of the film. For a digital artist and for audiences worldwide, it's a win-win situation.

TORONTO (Oct. 25)
All candidates of all parties to run nominees in the next general elections, next month, were requested by the Canadian Jewish Congress central region today to support legislation against incitement to hatred and violence against racial and religious groups.
In a letter to all candidates in this province, Ontario, Meyer W. Gasner, chairman of the central region, pointed out that the Canadian Government had already drafted such legislation and that the issue would be before the national Parliament now if an election had not intervened.
"For the past two years," the appeal noted, "small groups of hatemongers and neo-Nazis have been making use of the printed and spoken word to set group against group, and have been preaching an alien doctrine of race hatred, a doctrine which, if carried to its logical conclusion, can undermine our free institutions and traditions."
"We would, of course, appreciate your taking a positive position on this issue and making it known publicly. Such action on your part would be a significant contribution toward achieving these much-needed laws," the appeal stressed.

|Experimental: NOTES cholecystectomy
Procedure: NOTES assisted laparoscopic cholecystectomy
Surgical removal of the gallbladder using endoscopic instruments.
Other Name: NOTES Cholecystectomy
Detailed Description:
In this study, we propose to use a surgical technique that eliminates the need for a 1.5-2.5 cm umbilical incision. A flexible endoscope will be inserted through the mouth and into the stomach. Using commercially available endoscopes, endoscopic instruments and accessories, a small incision will be made in the gastric wall and the endoscope will be advanced into the insufflated peritoneal cavity. Two to three small laparoscopic trocars will be placed for laparoscopic instrument insertion to manipulate, retract and cut tissue. The flexible endoscope will provide visualization of the surgical field and flexible endoscopic instruments may be used to augment surgical manipulation with the laparoscopic instruments. Once dissected free, the gall bladder will be removed through the stomach and out of the mouth. Commercially available endoscopic clips, sutures and/or tissue anchors will be used to close the gastrotomy; additionally, the gastrotomy will be tested for leaks and laparoscopically oversewn with suture as needed.
Patients will be discharged per the standard of practice for a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. During the hospital stay severity of pain and use of pain medications will be recorded. Length of time spent in the recovery room and in the hospital will also be collected. Patients will return and be evaluated by their surgeon two weeks following their procedure. At this visit, any complications will be noted in the patient's medical record. Additionally at this visit and at the preoperative visit, patients will complete a standardized Quality of Life (QOL) assessment (i.e., SF-36) and perceived pain levels and type and frequency of pain medications will be recorded in the patient's medical record.

The coolest small town in America? If just might be Bluff, Utah — if enough people vote for it on an online poll sponsored by Budget Travel Magazine.
For the past five years, the magazine has used an annual poll to "discover travel beyond the big cities" by looking for "up-and-coming American towns that stand out from the mainstream" and are "equal parts hip and humble."
Bluff currently ranks at 13th place on the list, behind such places as Lewisburg, W. Va.; LaPointe, Wis.; Cedar Key, Fla.; Astoria, Ore.; and Eureka Springs, Ark. Voting at BudgetTravel.com continues through Feb. 11.
Ask anyone who lives in Bluff, however, and they'll tell you it's no contest. Well, actually, says Barry Simpson, owner of the Twin Rocks Trading Post, "I don't know about humble, but we're certainly hip."
Bluff, with a population of 320, sits in the San Juan River Valley, where it is bordered by the sandstone bluffs that give it its name and rolling ranchland that sustain cattle and sheep. It is close to ancient Anasazi ruins and rock art at places such as Hovenweep and Canyon de Chelly. Restored pioneer homes and the historic re-built Bluff Fort speak of Utah's "colonial period," when settlers were sent by Brigham Young and John Taylor to all corners of the territory. In recent years, white-water rafters have discovered the possibilities of the San Juan.
Bluff's major economic focus is tourism, says Simpson. What visitors find, in addition to the scenic and recreational opportunities, "is a town that really tries," says Simpson. "There's huge support for the local arts community. They are cutting-edge and innovative when it comes to service. We're brim-full of customer service. We still appreciate tourists and have time to accommodate them. There are lots of good eateries, lots of creative cuisine."
You can find everything from organic fruits and veggies to Navajo pizza and Sheepherder's sandwiches. "And you can still get a cowboy steak hot off the grill. The Europeans love that, especially," he says.
And the Europeans come in big numbers.
"About 80 percent of our business is international," says Cindy Tomeh, who owns the Desert Rose Inn, and is also a lifelong resident of Bluff. "Lots of people come back year after year."
They come, she says, "to re-connect with whatever is personally important to them." They come to see the ruins; the come to hike and camp in the wilderness. "We even get some crystal-gazers who come because they think this is the center of the universe."
It's great to be in the running as America's coolest small town, says Tomeh. But it's not like it's the first time Bluff has garnered national attention.
"CheapFlights.com chose our Balloon Festival (which takes place Jan. 13-16 this year) as one of the top five winter festivals in the world." It ranked on the list behind Mardi Gras, La.; the Sundance Film Festival in Park City; Buenos Aires' Tango Festival and Winterlude in Ontario, Can. "You see some of the names on that list, and we're in good company," says Tomeh.
Bluff has also been rated as one of the top 100 artist communities, says Simpson.
Although small, it is a well-educated community, he adds. "And it's a place where all cultures blend really well — even the 'outlaw culture.' They don't call us 'Bluffoons' for nothing," he jokes.
Like other small towns, it's a place where everyone knows everyone's business, and they will bicker and squabble, says Simpson. "But when the need arises, they will all draw together. When my son was injured in an accident, I couldn't believe the outpouring of support. This is one of the lowest economic areas in the state, but people will give what they can, monetarily, emotionally, physically."
There is also a very real respect for the outdoors. "To live here, you have to love it, to embrace it. It's not everywhere that people will go out for a day's drive and come back with a truckload of junk they've picked up. People here love, honor and respect the land. They are part of it."
Like other small towns, there is also a feeling "that we want it to remain secret," says Simpson. "But we need the income that visitors bring. We just need to keep the balance. The good news is that change, that politics move slowly and are well-thought-out. We give things the time and space they need."

text: Hello. Can anyone tell me the meaning of the gesture which is described in "A Visit from St. Nicholas" by Clement Clark Moore? The gesture in question is done by St. Nicholas just before he goes up the chimney after delivering presents to the occupants of the house. "...He (St. Nicholas) spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, and filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk, and laying his finger aside his nose, and giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;... Many thanks in advance!

TAMPA — A man bitten by his pet viper now faces charges for having the animal in the first place. Jamie DePriest drove himself to St. Joseph's Hospital on Tuesday after his 18-inch-long pet Gaboon viper bit his left index finger, according to Bay News 9. He was in fair condition late Friday night.
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officers found the snake in its aquarium with no lid at DePriest's W Anderson Avenue home. He told the authorities he bought the snake in New York.
There second-degree misdemeanor charges against DePriest include failing to cage the snake and keeping it without a permit, according to Bay News 9. The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office is also investigating because two children lived in the home with DePriest and the snake.

The EP is the most underused format in music. Chief among the many evils brought about by the compact disc format is that albums have gotten too long. (Marvin Gaye's What's Going On and the Beatles' Revolver are each only 35 minutes long.) Since CDs can hold about 74 minutes of music, people feel the need to fill them. Problem is, there are few artists who can do anything worth hearing for even half the allotted time. On the other hand, EPs, generally 20 to 30 minutes in length, give musicians only enough time to sketch out five or six songs. Plus, EPs are cheaper for music buyers, so it makes it easier to take a chance on an unknown band. What we have here are three good ideas for EPs: a short retrospective, an unknown band on the way up and an established band exploring a new sound.
There was a time when a sentence with "funky" and "France" most likely also included the word "smell." Now with the success of Daft Punk, Dimitri from Paris and Air, France is the world capital of funky, discofied, retro lounge groove music. Premiers Symptomes is a collection of seven of Air's early instrumental singles (recorded at home between '95 and '97). The duo scored big with '98's Moon Safari, and though this seems like a way to cash in while the band crafts album number two, Symptomes works because the music doesn't seem calculated. Floating Rhodes piano and silky bass guitars are constants, and occasional Burt Baccharachian horn and string melodies add depth and color. Drums are rarely used or are very simple, and the whole record is vocal-free, letting the music drift in its own meandering way. This is a solid, quick dose of late-night, postclub make-out music.
Minneapolis's Sukpatch has a couple of impossible-to-find records, so an EP is a smart way to introduce itself now that it's on the Beastie Boys' Grand Royal label. The pair sing like sunshine, what with humor and melody in their voices, but the songs are not something you may want to stomach over an entire album. The duo's sound is sample-heavy, keyboard and drum-machine pop with hints that the guys keep their Run-D.M.C. records alongside their Raspberries albums. The hip-hop beats and organ of "Burnt Buy" are elementary and catchy, but the closing track, "Skin Tight," really steps out. It has processed vocals, a slinky, soulful groove and an aching vocal line, staying tight and funky right to the end.
The chameleonlike Lilys is basically Kurt Heasley's doing whatever style with whomever he wants. On past records the band has replicated the sound of My Bloody Valentine, Small Faces and the Kinks, but on Zero Population Growth, Heasley and company tackle the electronic grooves of krautrock, circa 1975. As part of Darla records' monthly "Bliss Out Series," an ongoing project of ambient pop releases, Zero fits the bill. The rhythms aren't as driving as Kraftwerk's autobahn-inspired "motorik" beats, and the simple keyboard lines recall a modern retro-band like Trans Am, but it's all authentic. The result is 30 minutes of soundtrack-style futuristic beeping and gurgling straight out of Logan's Run. "The Law" has a short violin loop in it for classical touch, but overall this six-track record sounds like it could be 25 years old. Though Lilys and others have experimented with different styles, the EP is a logical format for bands looking to do something new and different without commitment.

Memory Card Reader
Buy Now...
When it comes to memory cards, it could be said that you are almost spoilt for choice. However you could also be confused over the various formats when it comes to accessing the data stored on the different card formats. Fortunately most modern systems come with multi-format card reading facilities built-in as standard. An alternative approach for those who do not already have this capability is to use a dedicated card reader such as the new multi card reader developed by Sandberg and distributed in the UK by Interactive Ideas.
While there could be smaller card reading devices available, the Sandberg unit is the smallest one that I have actually had the opportunity to test. This unit's dimensions are 6 x 4 x 1cm (W x D x H) which makes its extremely portable device. It could easily slip into a pocket without causing even a slight bulge. Adopting a black and white colour scheme, the top of the unit displays twelve logos. Apart from the Sandberg logo, there are others representing xD, MMC and Mobile, MMC + Plus, M2, MS Duo, CF, Micro SD, MMC micro, Mini SD, T-Flash, and SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity). This last logo is gathering popularity as digital camera manufacturers start to support a format that is promising to provide up to 32GB of storage capacity.
Running across the front of the card reader is a double bank of slots for the various card formats. These cover SD/MMC/RS-MMS and MS/xD on the top row with Micro MMC, Micro SD/T-Flash and M2 arranged along the bottom. The back of the reader houses the CF slot. A USB port socket is positioned on the right side of the unit.
Setting up this multi card reader is just a matter of connecting the device to a USB port using the supplied 180cm lead which is long enough to avoid any problems when it comes to positioning the reader. Once the device has been recognised by the operating system, an additional drive letter will be displayed as part of My Computer. Note that, unlike other card readers I have looked at that allocate a drive letter to each slot, this product just offers a single drive letter. While this does remove any confusing that might exists as you struggle to work out which drive letter is associated to the various slots, it can make transferring data from one card format to another more complicated.
When a card, of whatever format, is inserted into a slot a LED light on top of the unit glows blue to indicate the reader is ready for use. Read speed, using a 1.6GHz laptop running Windows XP SP2, was timed at 12.6MB per second. When it came to write speed, the achieved rate dropped to 3.2MB per second.
Supporting the series of cards classified as SD, xD, MS, CF, MMC and T-Flash/Micro SD, the Sandberg Multi Card Reader covers the most common memory card formats within a pocket sized device. The product requires Windows 2000, XP or Vista and is backed up by a five year warranty. The Sandberg Multi-card Reader is officially priced at £20.99 and available from Amazon for £14.99 including shipping on the following link:

3M Aerospace (Booth No. 641) has developed a flame-retardant tape for use in the aerospace industry, the company announced here at NBAA'07.
Its VHB flame retardant tape 5958FR is specifically designed for applications where the need for bonding plastics, metals or painted surfaces is present, the company said. It can replace traditional adhesives and mechanical fasteners, such as screws, welds, rivets, two-part adhesives and sealants.
According to a 3M spokeswoman, VHB tape can bond a wide variety of substrates, including composites, plastics and dissimilar metals, such as stainless steel with aluminum. The tape can also provide increased strength and durability, while reducing noise and vibration. Potential applications include kick plate attachment, air duct spud attachment and ceiling tile stiffeners.
3M spokesman Bret Anderson said that VHB tape can also reduce the total weight of the aircraft by eliminating traditional mechanical fasteners. "We anticipate that manufacturers and maintenance crews will see a dramatic decrease in cycle time when using 3M VHB tape," Anderson added. "By using it, you eliminate time wasted waiting for a two-part adhesive to cure, or time wasted by using other mechanical fastening systems."
VHB tape meets FAR (a) 12 second vertical burn Appendix F, Part 1 (a) (ii) and the European RoHS directive standards.

Re: Charles E. Albro
I believe that the genealogies of two different men named Charles Albro have been combined. The two
1. Charles E. Albro 1855-1909 of Parma, Michigan. He was the son of Daniel Albro and Amelia Lewis. He married Caroline Boughton and had three children.
2. Charles H. Albro 1845-1864 of Genesee, Michigan. He was the son of Rodman Albro and Susan Harps. He was a Civil War veteran who served as a private in Company G, Michigan's 27th Infantry. He was wounded at Cold Harbor, VA on 3 Jun 1864. He died on 14 Aug 1864.

Ella Mae Boughton Wood
Hello Rosemary,
I'm looking for information about Ella Mae Boughton Wood, buried in Riverside Cemetery, Big Rapids.
Do you know if there was an obituary? I do have one photo of her standing outside with her son, Earl. Haven't had any luck with finding much about her husband, Edward L Wood.
I did find their son's obituary.
Also, confused about name listings as Boughton and others as Bouton.
Thank you, Becky

Cousin Rosemary, I am curious as to Harold's mother and father's names ... and can Harold be linked to them? Harold's memorial number is 8140932. The photos of him are special, aren't they? Did he have children? What are their names? I'm sure Frank would add that info into Harold's biography through the Edit tab.

Death of Minnie Sieckmann
The Nebraska Signal
October 31, 1918
News arrived here last week of the death of Miss Minnie Sieckmann daughter of the late William Sieckmann. The past 4 years she has made her home most of the time with her sister Mrs. J. C. Williamson of this place. During this time she made frequent visits to Lawrence to visit her mother, Mrs. Thomas Jicha. She always enjoyed her visits, but would express a desire to return to Ohiowa, which was natural since this was her childhood home. On the last visit about 2 months ago she seemed perfectly happy and contented. The only worry she had was taking the dreaded Spanish influenza.
The disease was contracted in the family. Minnie being the fourth member who developed it. She was taken ill Sunday before her death. Her illness did not seem serious, but bronchial pneumonia followed the influenza causing her death within four days on October 24, 1918.
Miss Minnie Marie Sophie Sieckmann was born June 13, 1895 and was baptized June 30 of the same year. She was confirmed by Rev. L.T. Traubel at the East Lutheran Church on Palm Sunday in 1911.
She died October 24, 1918 at the age 23 years, 4 months and 11 days. Her body was brought from Lawrence on Saturday October 26 for burial at the cemetery 1 mile sough of the East Lutheran Church by the side of her father who died in 1905. The usual services were conducted by Rev. J. A. Bahnsen. The pallbearers were: Arthur Most, Henry Bahe, Bennie Matthies, Albert Weber, John and Lou Bornschlegl.
She leaves to morn her death, her mother and step-father Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Jicha of Lawrence, four brothers William, Frank, Arthur and Irvin, two sisters Mrs. J. C. Williamson and Miss Mollie and many other relatives and friends.
She will be sadly missed especially in the home of her sister, Mrs. Williamson. She was always cheerful and pleasant to those about her.
