Scenes from a highway reclaimed by the city's pedestrians and cyclists.
São Paulo's population is the largest of any city in Brazil, the Americas, and the Southern Hemisphere; there are more people living in São Paulo than in New York City, Mexico City, or Lagos. It will thus not come as a surprise that São Paulo has been named the most congested city in the world and that Paulistas, the 20 million people living in São Paulo's metropolitan area, give in to the worst traffic jams on the planet, every single day. But there is one place in the city where, once a week, cars are strictly prohibited, a place reclaimed every Sunday by the city's pedestrians, cyclists and soccer kids: the elevated highway in the city center, known as Minhocão.
Upon its completion in 1970, the highway was officially named Via Elevada Presidente Artur da Costa e Silva after the second president of Brazil, who was in power during the military regime in the 1960s. But among Paulistas, the highway is only known as Minhocão, meaning "earthworm" in Portuguese. The Minhocão, an 80-feet long, Loch Ness-like creature, has been said to slither through the forests of South America since the 19th century. According to legend, its shimmery black body digs through forest soil until, when hungry, the tentacle-decorated head emerges to devour whatever it finds, animal or human.
In the same way that the forest creature supposedly causes houses and entire roads to collapse when its massive body digs by, São Paulo's Minhocão destroyed beautiful structures in the city's center during its construction. In the 1960s, São Paulo was a modest city of two to three million inhabitants, but traffic was an issue even then. Then-mayor Paulo Maluf suggested a corridor of traffic that would literally lift the problem: an elevated highway. In 1969, it was the biggest project of reinforced concrete in all of Latin America.
Since the very day of its inauguration, however, São Paulo's urban development experts have been contemplating taking the structure down. During the week, with a daily load of over 80,000 vehicles, the highway presents a perfect example of the city's outdated infrastructure—massive, old and harmful to its surroundings. But when you come on a Sunday, this 2.2-miles long concrete structure winding through forgotten boulevards and pixações-sprinkled apartment buildings (including the infamous wavy Edificio Copan) becomes a rare public space in an overcrowded city.
The Minhocão has been closing off to motor vehicles on Sundays and holidays since 1976, and Paulistas know how to take advantage of this valuable urban space available to them every now and then. Whether soccer player, weekend cyclist, enthusiastic jogger, ambitious musician, urban dweller or lounging youngster, the Minhocão is the place to be on a Sunday. It is the kind of place where you ride your public bike from one of the UseBike stops across the city to meet some friends, people-watch and have a picnic on top of the concrete divide between two highway lanes.
As you munch on some olives, you observe a family of three walk by, the father holding a kite far too long for their 5-year old son. When the kite flies high above the buildings, father, mother, son stand on the edge of the highway, holding on to the railing, and observe its elegant dives. The highway is framed by high rise buildings with fresh laundry or a Brazilian flag occasionally dangling out of a Plexiglas window. Patches of old grass infested with cigarette buds peek through the concrete road, and graffitied lamp posts lead the way from one end of the Minhocão to the other.
Dogs are the secret protagonists on a Minhocão Sunday. One merrily bounces towards a homeless woman who snoozes in the shade of an awkwardly bent lamp post. The dog's owner is slow to follow. Before she knows it, the dog licks the sleeping woman's big toe. The owner, shocked and embarrassed, chastens her dog. But the sleeping woman simply awakes and pets the dog. Other dogs handsomely jog along with their owners, while still others stretch out full-length on the warm concrete, entirely oblivious to the highway's true week-day purpose.
The Minhocão also has its regulars. Among them, a bare-chested twenty-something year old with a huge afro who wanders for hours, shifting his glance from one person to the next. Ice-cream and coconut water sellers readily replenish exhausted kids who either try to or have already mastered all there is to soccer balls, bikes, and tricks.
As dusk starts settling, and the last drops of sweet, colored Popsicle water have run down children's fingers and dripped onto the asphalt below them, the jungle of buildings is drowned in the pink sky of the city's indigested pollution. A TV light flickers through a window and the rubbish bins are filled to the rim.
An architectural mess (maybe) and a sound pollutant (absolutely), the Minhocão each Sunday transforms into a public space in the true sense of its definition: a social space—accessible, free of charge and open to all.

Topic: Palitoy vs Kenner
Does anyone know if the Palitoy paint variation of the vintage Boba Fett figure is any more rare than the Kenner version? And if so, does this effect it's price?
I don't really care about the "price" of the figure it's more an issue of VALUE to me. I will pay more for something that I really want than it is worth if I really want it...does anyone follow?

Altinex Tilt â€Â²N Plugs
TNP-122 Twins
Features:• Mounts into tabletop.
• Integrated solution .
• Provides easy access to hidden connections.
• Multi-media and AC power connectors.
• Opens and closes easily by pressing on top panel.
• UL listed.
• US Patent D437, 827.
The central element of many audiovisual presentation systems is a conference table. The challenge that faces the system designer is how to provide an input plate in a tabletop. Computer video, audio, network, and AC power connections need to be available without making an obstruction that gets in the way. Many times, a large number of connecting cables need to be managed above and underneath the table surface. Depending on the table size, the space for AV connectivity may be sparse. The key is accessible signal management that also utilizes multiple sides. The Tilt 'N Plugâ"¢ Series of power data centers address this issue by providing numerous solutions with input panels on opposite sides of a central unit that appear when needed and are hidden flush with the table when not in use. Tilt â€Â²N Plug Jr box can be custom configured to suit your specific need. Please call for pricing on customized units.

We don't know who the Jets' quarterback will be next season, but we do know that anyone who wins the job will have an easier time of it if wide receiver Santonio Holmes is healthy enough to contribute from the start of the season.
We'll find out if that's possible when he joins Pro Football Talk on NBC Sports Network for a conversation. Holmes will talk to Erik Kuselias about his health, the disappointing 2012 season and his decision to restructure his contract earlier this offseason.
Mike Florio, Bob Glauber and Ross Tucker will also be on hand to talk about what the Jets have accomplished this offseason to date. They'll also be discussing the Dolphins, Bills and Patriots as the series of offseason recaps makes its way to the AFC and NFC East on Wednesday. We're also still accepting votes for the day's final segment, so be sure to let us know what you think.

HIV infection is a condition that can gradually destroy the immune system, which makes it harder for the body to fight infections. When this happens, the person has AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome).
Alternative Names
HIV infection; Infection – HIV; Human immunodeficiency virus; Acquired immune deficiency syndrome
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) causes HIV infection and AIDS. The virus attacks the immune system. As the immune system weakens, the body is vulnerable to life-threatening infections and cancers. Once a person has the virus, it stays inside the body for life.
The virus is spread (transmitted) person-to-person in any of the following ways:
- Through sexual contact — including oral, vaginal, and anal sex
- Through blood — via blood transfusions (now extremely rare in the U.S.) or needle sharing
- From mother to child — a pregnant woman can spread the virus to her fetus through their shared blood circulation, or a nursing mother can transmit it to her baby through her breast milk
The virus is not spread by:
- Casual contact such as hugging
- Mosquitoes
- Participating in sports
- Touching items that were touched by a person infected with the virus
HIV and blood or organ donation:
- HIV is not spread to a person who donates blood or organs. People who donate organs are never in direct contact with people who receive them. Likewise, a person who donates blood is never in contact with the person receiving it. In all these procedures, sterile needles and instruments are used.
- But HIV can be spread to a person receiving blood or organs from an infected donor. To reduce this risk, blood banks and organ donor programs check (screen) donors, blood, and tissues thoroughly.
People at high risk of getting HIV include:
- Injection drug users who share needles
- Infants born to mothers with HIV who did not receive HIV treatment during pregnancy
- People who have unprotected sex, especially with people who have other high-risk behaviors, are HIV-positive, or have AIDS
- People who received blood transfusions or clotting products between 1977 and 1985, before screening for the virus became standard practice
- Sexual partners of those who engage in high-risk activities (such as injection drug use or anal sex)
After HIV infects the body, the virus has been found in saliva, tears, nervous system tissue and spinal fluid, blood, semen (including pre-seminal fluid, which is the liquid that comes out before ejaculation), vaginal fluid, and breast milk. Only blood, semen, vaginal secretions, and breast milk have been shown to transmit infection to others.
Symptoms related to acute HIV infection (when a person is first infected) are often flu-like:
- Diarrhea
- Fever
- Headache
- Mouth sores, including yeast infection (thrush)
- Muscle stiffness or aching
- Night sweats
- Rashes of different types
- Sore throat
- Swollen lymph glands
Many people have no symptoms when they are diagnosed with HIV.
Acute HIV infection progresses over a few weeks to months to become an asymptomatic HIV infection (no symptoms). This stage can last 10 years or longer. During this period, the person can still spread the virus to others.
Almost all people infected with HIV, if they are not treated, will develop AIDS. A small group of patients develop AIDS very slowly or never at all. These patients are called nonprogressors. Many seem to have genes that prevent the virus from significantly damaging their immune system.
People with AIDS have had their immune system damaged by HIV. They are very susceptible to (easily get) infections that do not normally develop in people with a healthy immune system. These infections are called opportunistic infections.
Common symptoms are:
- Chills
- Fever
- Rash
- Sweats (particularly at night)
- Swollen lymph glands
- Weakness
- Weight loss
Exams and Tests
Persons with AIDS usually have regular blood tests to check their CD4 cell count. CD4 cells are a type of T cell. T cells are one kind of cell of the immune system. They are also called "helper cells." A CD4 cell count that is lower than normal may be a sign that the virus is damaging the immune system. (A normal CD4 count is from 500 to 1,500 cells/mm3 of blood.)
When the CD4 count gets too low, the risk of infections and some types of cancer increases.
Other tests that may be done include:
- HIV RNA level, or viral load, to check how much virus is in the blood
- Pap smear to check for cervical cancer
- Anal pap smear to check for cancer of the anus
There is no cure for AIDS at this time. But treatments are available to manage symptoms. Treatment can also improve the quality and length of life for those who have already developed symptoms.
Antiretroviral therapy suppresses the replication of the HIV virus in the body. A combination of antiretroviral drugs, called antiretroviral therapy (ART), also known as highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), is very effective in reducing the amount of HIV in the bloodstream. This is measured by the viral load (how much free virus is found in the blood). Preventing the virus from reproducing (replicating) can improve T-cell counts and help the immune system recover from HIV infection.
People on ART with suppressed levels of HIV can still transmit the virus to others through sex or by sharing needles. With ART, if the level of HIV remains suppressed and CD4 count remains high (above 200 cells/mm3), life can be prolonged and improved.
HIV can become resistant to one combination of ART. This is most true in patients who do not take their medications on schedule every day. Tests can check whether an HIV strain is resistant to a particular drug. This information can be useful in finding the best drug combination and for adjusting the drug combination when it starts to fail.
When HIV becomes resistant to HAART, other drug combinations must be used to try to suppress the resistant HIV strain of HIV. There are a variety of new drugs on the market for treating drug-resistant HIV.
Treatment with ART has complications. Each drug has its own side effects. Common side effects are:
- Collection of fat on the back (buffalo hump) and abdomen
- Diarrhea
- General sick feeling ( malaise)
- Headache
- Nausea
- Weakness
When used for a long time, these drugs increase the risk of heart attack, perhaps by increasing the levels of cholesterol and glucose (sugar) in the blood.
Persons on ART are monitored by their health care provider for possible side effects. Blood tests measuring CD4 counts and HIV viral load will likely be done every 3 months. The goal is to get the CD4 count close to normal and to suppress the amount of HIV virus in the blood to a level where it cannot be detected.
Medicines may be prescribed to treat problems related to AIDS such as

Joining a
Outlook (Prognosis)
At this time, there is no cure for AIDS. It is always fatal without treatment. In the U.S., most patients survive many years after d
iagnosis because of treatment with HAART. New medicines are continually being developed.
Possible Complications
When a person is infected with HIV, the virus slowly begins to destroy that person's immune system. How fast this occurs differs in each individual. Treatment with HAART can help slow or halt the destruction of the immune system.
Once the immune system is severely damaged, that person has AIDS, and can now get infections and cancers that most healthy persons would not get. Doctors have found that when CD4 falls below certain counts, specific types of infections and cancers can develop.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you have any of the risk factors for HIV infection. Also call if you develop symptoms of AIDS. By law, the results of HIV testing must be kept confidential. Your health care provider will review test results with you.
Preventing HIV/AIDS:
- Do not use illegal drugs and do not share needles or syringes. Many communities now have needle exchange programs, where you can get rid of used syringes and get new, sterile ones. These programs can also refer you for addiction treatment.
- Avoid contact with another person's blood. If possible, wear protective clothing, masks, and goggles when caring for people who are injured.
- If you test positive for HIV, you can pass the virus to others. You should not donate blood, plasma, body organs, or sperm.
- HIV-positive women who plan to get pregnant should talk to their health care provider about the risk to their unborn child. They should also discuss methods to prevent their baby from becoming infected, such as taking medicines during pregnancy.
- Breastfeeding should be avoided to prevent passing on HIV to infants through breast milk.
HIV-positive patients who are taking antiretroviral medicines are less likely to transmit the virus.
The U.S. blood supply is among the safest in the world. Nearly all people infected with HIV through blood transfusions received those transfusions before 1985, the year HIV testing began for all donated blood.
If you believe you have been exposed to HIV, seek medical attention right away. Do not delay. Starting antiviral medicines can reduce the chances that you will be infected. This is called post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP). It has been used to prevent transmission in health care workers injured by needle sticks.

Seventies: have they stopped breeding chickens or something??
alt: okay Khathu, I was wondering if there would/could be a connection.
Khathu: It is a different line.
HistoryBuff: That's going to have an impact on grocery meat choices..
Khathu: I hate ancestry.com's leaf feature
vkn: at least for super football history
Seventies: why?
alt: The Dorsey documentation is 'super' solid and would smack them in their face Khathu
Khathu: there are so many people with the incorrect information attached to their trees as a result of the feature
vkn: yeah that leaf thing is a prob
Seventies: I agree... and not only that its only good if you read and analyze the records...
Khathu: alt - the Dorseys did not arrived until the 1850s almost 7 years after Texas was admitted into the Union.
alt: yep, the "leafs" are only pointing out what has been said about the Ancestry family trees for years
Khathu: I feel like I have to play police and info individuals of the incorrect information.
Seventies: I get that all the time because the Washingtons tree is public.. most of the time its COMPLETELY incorrect. annoyance.
Khathu: One individual has a Paschal Wilkerson in her tree as being white based on the 1860 census but what she failed to realized is that Paschal was enslaved in Leon County, Texas in 1860.
alt: I hear ya, question.... is the information "incorrect" or is it just different?
Khathu: She is researching solely based on name and nothing else
alt: hello dcooke
dcooke: Hello!
HistoryBuff: Unfortunately, that's what it means kharmthu
Seventies: yep that is why i took mine off line
vkn: hello dcooke and welcome
Khathu: Paschal was enslaved with my ggg grandfather Andrew Perkins. They were both owned by the Evans Family.
HistoryBuff: Sorry Khathu.
alt: that happens Khathu, folks often hook on to a common surname in a location and they are off to the races LOL
Seventies: hi dcooke
Khathu: I have a cousin that has some foolish on his tree regarding our ancestor Isaac Haynes
Seventies: lol
HistoryBuff: Hi Dr. Cooke.
alt: this leaf stuff is an example of why we need to cite our sources when putting our stuff out there fro the world to see.
Khathu: He has attached the SC and TX 1870 census to our ancestor when clearly he was not in both place and it is two separate individuals.
Seventies: Its really not about us, is aabout the people who steal our stuff.
vkn: glad you are here dcooke
alt: inconsistancies are one thing, but incorrect linkage is something else....
Seventies: hhhmmm interesting Khathu...
Khathu: it is definitely incorrect
Seventies: okay
Khathu: the likihood of an AA travelling between TX and SC in 1870 is highly unlikely some of it is just common sense
alt: my thought on 'stealing" is ... help yourself to what I put out there... it helps to 'circulate' the family information and it might help someone down the road.
Khathu: i agree alt.
Seventies: agree, but I have seen people living in two households within the same area during the year.
dcooke: I started reading the books you guys recommended a couple of weeks ago.
Seventies: which one dcooke?
Khathu: that is different seventies.
dcooke: Finding a Place Called Home
Khathu: i need to run.
Seventies: How do you like it so far dcooke?
alt: wonderful dcooke.. that book is a treasure and a great one for references
vkn: great dcooke that is a bible for many of us
Seventies: FYI I'm in for the long haul today. I have plans to just work on my personal blog and do some book research on FamilySearch and look up some additional information on existing family members.
dcooke: The other was the Genealogist's Guide for Discovering AA Ancestry
alt: exactly vkn.... my copy is very handy and accessible on my computer desk.
dcooke: They were ok, but they seem very outdated now that so many resources are online. One of you should write a modern version for folks starting out today.
Seventies: There is still a treasure trove at the local courthouses IMO... I don't think that will ever go out of style.
vkn: the methods do not change dcooke
alt: they are somewhat outdated with the 'flood' of newer and more recent resources, but the methodologies explained still hold true dcooke
dcooke: I'm sure it will help me more when I travel to TX and AR to do the research. I'm working from another state, and I'm dependent on internet-based research most days.
alt: even Tony Burroughs "Black Roots" is outdated as far as his links and resources are concerned, but again the methodolgy is still "sound"
vkn: research methods are forever
alt: don't forget the telelphone & emails to the areas you are researching dcooke & the genealogy societies
dcooke: A lot of the suggestions were pretty intuitive for me, but I guess I'm pretty obsessed at this point.
Seventies: Nobody every recommends the book I use, How to trace your African American Roots. It was published in 2000 and very good.
vkn: author seventies
Seventies: Barbara Howell
alt: an example dcooke... I recently received the estate papers of an ancestor who died in California in 1871..... I live in Ohio ... got help in acquiring these papers by networking, phone calls & emails
dcooke: I reached out to the county genealogical societies early on. When I told them I was Black, they went silent. lol
vkn: okies thanx
Seventies: Yes, never tell them that... lol Yah and I actually wrote a letter and got a response. I went pre-analog with that and it worked! lol
dcooke: They were like "You're looking for pre-1870 information??? Well, good luck with that!"
alt: where were these gen societies located dcooke? and what was the time periods you were asking about? and the type of records you were asking about? as Selma often says... AA's are IN the records, but the records aren't usually ABOUT us.
Seventies: They sure aren't.
alt: especailly pre 1870 and in the South.
dcooke: I was asking them what types of records they had and if it would be worth a trip. The counties were Marion and Cass County, TX, and Clark County, AR. They told me that I might find info in wills, but they said I need to have an estimate of who owned my ancestors to really get started.
Seventies: dcooke where are you at in your research? have you hit 1870? Believe it or not, there are some good records that can help you discover the last known slave owner. But most requires indepth analysis.
alt: "they' told you right dcooke .. unless your folks were FPOC and then those records are few & far between, we are usually found in records about white folks
Seventies: and community research.
dcooke: Yes. I've hit 1870 in every line.
Seventies: ok
dcooke: I've gotten back to ancestors born in 1800 and 1820 on several lines.
Seventies: ok
dcooke: I was totally motivated to keep going this weekend! I received a message from someone inviting me to a family reunion.
alt: if you're at 1870 .. have you then determined if yoru ancestors are free or enslaved... if enslaved how bout the 1860 then the 1850 slave schedules for possible slave owners?
dcooke: I've figured out one slave owner that I'm pretty sure about.
Seventies: Another good, but overlooked source is if your ancestor fought in the Civil War, some regimental records have the name of the last slaveholder and the place where they lived.
alt: then have you checked for Wills, Estate Papers, etc. for the surnames of the slaveowners in the areas where your ancestors were located.
Seventies: LOL But of course this doesn't work for any of my CW ancestors! LOL
dcooke: I'm having a hard time confirming that I'm related to the family though (the family reunion). We have the same folks on our tree and the same names, but there are a few holes.
Seventies: Had you spoken to Khathu about Cass County, TX??
dcooke: I found a man who fought in the Union Army with the same name as one of my ancestors, but I haven't been able to connect them. It could possibly be his father.
Seventies: Regimental and CW records... are a big overlooked item!
dcooke: I haven't really spoken to him much. He seems to leave when I get here.
alt: don't overlook death certifiactes/records in those counties from the early 1900's forward.... many of those folks were born in the mid and early 1800's.
Seventies: Khathu often talks about voter registration records for TX. Take a look there.
dcooke: Luckily, I keep connecting with distant relatives who have already posted the death certificates. Lucky!!! I've found A LOT of voter reg records. Especially right after emancipation!
alt: yes, you are in those instances dcooke
Seventies: Yep.. you will have to do some analysis.
alt: as Seventies is saying 'analysis; is the key.... voter registration, leads to possible property records.
dcooke: This family reunion thing is tricky because my ancestor was apparently one of the older children in her immediate family. She's listed as married and living in her own home in 1870. I have to figure out how to prove that she's the child of the man that they're descendants of...
Seventies: LOL I don't even do TX and I know quite a bit about th records there.. thanks to Khathu!
dcooke: He still had other children in his home. Her death certificate says her father's name was Joe McIntosh. This man is seen as Joe, Joseph, and Josiah. Could be...Could be not... (Color Purple)
Seventies: Yep.. I have a Leon/Leno McFarland... I had to analyze a lot of records to verify him because of the name variation.
alt: yep, now that you've found the record(s), now the real work begins in analyzing (sp) what you've found
dcooke: So how can I figure out if she's Josiah/Joseph's child?
Seventies: speaking of deaths, etc. alt, in what situation would a DC have been issued twice? Could you shed some light on that?
alt: you have to do what is called 'cluster research' and analyze the siblings in the "family'... not just your direct ancestor
Seventies: exactly...
dcooke: I think I'm going to keep asking questions to the other descendants.
Seventies: That is how I found a TON of relatives. I wrote something about that on the forums a while back.
dcooke: One of her younger brothers named his daughter the same name as my ancestor (which seemed to happen a lot in my family). That gave me a bit of hope!
alt: 2 DC's ..... a correction, filing in 2 separate counties, place of death vs place of burial.
dcooke: I'm sure that he's the son of Joseph/Josiah.
Seventies: Thank you alt.
dcooke: Which forums do you all read? Ancestry?
alt: you may find what you're looking for in the records of one of those siblings.
Seventies: Oh one more question. Is there a certain time period that you would see 2 DC's?? Like 1908 - 1920 or later years?
dcooke: I also found a facebook group for AR AA Genealogy. Hopefully that will help with my father's side.
alt: I'm partial to the AfriGeneas Forums.... all of them
dcooke: I'm going to have to explore them tonight.
Seventies: I read Afrigeneas forums most of the time. On occasion, I use ancestry. Lately, I've been getting some good locale hits on Ancestry's AA forums for MS.
alt: use the 'search' feature for AfriGeneas dcooke ... type in anything you can think of surnames, locations, type of records, etc. and you're sure to find some great threads
Seventies: Two collateral families I'd been looking for are attached to the Hew Davis Plantation in Wilkinson Co.
alt: and the AfriGenas post go back to the late 1990's 12-15 years at least way to go Seventies
Seventies: and you know I'm still intrigued with this Wellington Scott I saw in the RG105... His Scott's are from Adams Co. and Wilkinson Co. WB HistoryBuff.
alt: dcooke, tha ancestor's you found born in the 1820's .... you found then in the 1870 census & later, right? have you found anything (records) on them between their birth year and 1870?
Seventies: I'm going to head over to the Facebook/Twitter page. You all have a good one. I need to work on the genealogy while I have some free time today. Great discuss.
HistoryBuff: Thanks Seventies. i got kicked off and I missed her. Getting called away for consultation.
alt: think I'll follow Seventies lead... I have a Dr.'s appt at 3:30 so I guess I'd better start getting ready for it... See y'all later.
HistoryBuff: Cya Alt Well good to listen to you, dccooke. Hope to chat with you in the near future. Bye

About Baillie And The Boys
Though originally from New Jersey, Kathy Baillie and Michael Bonagura met in Delaware through a friend who gave Bonagura a tape that featured Baillie's vocals. Fans of artists like the Four Tops, the Beatles, the Supremes, Linda Ronstadt, and James Taylor, they developed a strong harmony -- both on stage and off: They were married in 1977. Bonagura's buddy, bass player Alan LeBoeuf, joined up, and after a number of years on the Garden State's nightclub circuit, yet another friend -- a driver with Allied Van Lines -- persuaded them to join him on a trip to Nashville.
They stayed in Music City, and in 1982 they got their first chance to appear on a record, singing backup on Ed Bruce's "My First Taste of Texas." Bonagura co-wrote Marie Osmond's single "There's No Stopping Your Heart," and the trio sang backing vocals on a number of singles for Dan Seals and Randy Travis. Ultimately, they signed with RCA Records, making their debut in 1987. After completing their second album, LeBoeuf decided their touring schedule was too hectic and left. Baillie and Bonagura retained the original name, though Boys seems a bit misleading. ~ Tom Roland

Wouldn't be a horrible idea for MUCH younger children. But honestly 10 years and up need to focus on helping as opposed to playing IMO.
that being said if I didnt play it myself I wouldnt get it just for the neighbors kids.
I saw a news article somewhere where a guy set up an outdoor movie watching party for his neighborhood (probably on this forum). I thought that was cool. I guess it all depends on the situation.
I would appreciate if you coudl find a link for it...
If it wasn't so COLD OUT in late January / early February it would be a fun thing to break out when the Steelers go to the Super Bowl.

Josh and I have been making a few tweaks the Shopify admin lately. The visual changes might take a few minutes to get used to, but they make doing things like adding promo codes and managaging blog articles easier.
Here is a before and after of the new blogs and pages UI (old on the left, new on the right)....
We also added the ability to bulk manage comments, so you can spam, delete, publish, etc multiple comments at once. You can also filter your comments by their status (articles also have the filter option as well).
We also redesigned the marketing page and renamed it to "promotions". Like Blogs & Pages this is a simple redesign to make it easier to view and manage discount codes.
Before is on the left and after is on the right
Although some of you will be sad to hear that this design was purely visual, it does give us a platform to add new promotion tools in the near future to help your shop sell even better.

Can you please add the ability to have product specific coupons instead of sitewide stuff. This is probably on the top 5 things people have wanted added for years now.
Shopify is awesome but really needs this
July 07 2011, 03:55PM
Looks clean! Much better.
UI question: Should the "Write a new article" link have a more prominence than the "Create a new page" and "Create a new blog" links? Assume most stores write many more posts than they do creating pages or whole new blogs… :) Its also confusing for some people – ive had employees create new blogs when the meant to write a blog post.
July 07 2011, 04:18PM
@Casey: It's a good point. The reason why "write a new article" is on the farthest right is because of something called "Fitts Law" . It means that things on the edge of a box are easier to hit than things that are in the middle of a box (so it's easier to hit "create a new article" than it is to "create a new blog").
Should it be given more prominence? Yes in theory, but every time you make an element stand out more you are making the page busier and more difficult to parse for new users. One of the tricks to a usable interface is to try and make elements stand out using a theory called "smallest effective difference". That theory stipulates that you must make an element stand out using the smallest amount of visual difference as possible to avoid clutter.
Maybe something like this would help the issue http://cl.ly/8HPY – it seems a little strange to have only one action inside of a dropdown, but users wouldn't accidentally create a new blog instead of an article much.
We haven't done thorough user testing for this UI yet, so I will definitely keep your comments in mind Casey! I really appreciate your feedback.
@Sean I agree with you. There are tons of features that we are working on for Shopify right now and I'm positive that expanding coupon functionality is a priority at this time. We might even go above and beyond your expectations.

That principle Fitt's law doesn't apply to any box, it only applies to boxes that provide movement-bounds for the cursor, like the screen.
July 07 2011, 05:07PM
I guess you can interpret the law strictly like that, but your mind subconsciously creates boxes around groups of interface elements.
For example the "close" icon in OS X is on the furthest left of the box – http://cl.ly/8Hu5, because out of the 3 options closing applications is arguable the most used action it is in the location where it is easiest to hit with the minimum amount of consequences.
I've only brushed the surface of Fitts law it's more complex and they're definitely better examples than they way I interpreted it in this scenario: http://particletree.com/features/visualizing-fittss-law/

Rather than bulk manage blog comments, why not put in a captcha filter to blog comments so there's less spam to begin with?
July 09 2011, 10:21AM
It would be great if you could allow blog articles to be set to published in the future. This would allow me to do a bunch of them for the month at one time vs having to log in every couple days to copy/paste what I've prepared. Thanks.

@Derek: We use a system called Defensio which helps automatically filter spam comments for our users. Everytime a Shopify store owner hits the spam button for a comment it registers in the Defensio system and they are less likely to receive bulk spam from that author.
@Brantley: This is a great idea and I've written it down in my notes.

Please can I ask, why an earth are using up valuable resources making visual improvements to the admin system when they is a long list of much needed updates that surely must take priority, to name but a few:
Much needed improvements to your marketing section. (Very weak in comparison to Magento Go) Per product vouchers, group offers, shipping discounts, gift cards : http://go.magento.com/features/
Edit customer shipping details.
Allow us to change order items.
Process order exchanges.
Cancel/refund or exchange individual order items.
Related / grouped products.
All this icing on the cake is great but remember you guys take a cut of our sales and unless we see the product going somewhere seriously the arguments for leaving you guys for another solution are just mounting up!
Are these are all in hand and on your road map, please please keep us updated, we never know what your next move is?!?
I would really appreciate some feedback from you guys.
Thank you,

Good old fashioned war, minifig against minifig dashing about and clashing forcefully together in a ballet of death on the field of battle, never really gets old. But there are always ways to expand the experience. For most BrikVersians, more ways to experience sheer bloody carnage can never really be a bad thing. For some BrikVersians, the way to make battle even more interesting is to put it on wheels and drive it down the highway to hell, mounted machine guns a-blazing. RaceCourses can take a variety of forms, depending upon the vehicles being used (from deathbikes and machine gun toting cars to starfighters), and maybe located virtually anywhere in the known galaxies. One of the more expansive examples is BrikRace, a Far-Ums show featuring a variety of races from around the universe.
Possible Uses:
- Prove dominance in more than one arena.
- More things to put more dakka on.
Tactical Considerations:
- Vehicle speed creates an added element of danger, that of collision damage, so take advantage whenever possible.
- Pilots, drivers, and riders are typically more protected from incoming damage than they otherwise would be on foot, prepare some anti-armor weaponry and accuracy boosts in order to mitigate this advantage.
- Bring pilots to a drive-fight. You want to be able to maximize your killing efficiency.

DETROIT -- The Feb. 28 Michigan Republican primary election has devolved horribly into a referendum on whether the Bush and Obama administrations did the right thing by bailing out the auto industry in late 2008 and 2009.
Here's a quick review of the facts -- from my perspective.
Michigan native Mitt Romney is being pilloried in the local and national media for his varying positions on the bailout. Bloomberg News has documented three flip-flops by the leading GOP presidential hopeful.
Romney and all the Republican candidates, including the rising star Rick Santorum, are ideologically prohibited from supporting government intervention in the private sector no matter what. In this case, their stance is that saving the private sector of the Midwest and saving a million jobs was wrong because government dollars were involved -- and thus it amounts to "socialism."
Bush's call
Republican George W. Bush, when he was a candidate for the top job, probably would have said the same thing. But when he became President George W. Bush, he realized there were no other options because there was no private sector money available to save General Motors, Chrysler, GMAC and Chrysler Financial.
Bush, speaking at the National Automobile Dealers Association convention earlier this month, defended his decision to bail out the industry, saying he would do it again.
Somehow "socialism" and "Bush" just don't sound right together, do they?
But this is an election year and the reality of history simply doesn't apply. At all.
Santorum, to his credit, is consistent on his opposition to all bailouts. And he even criticized Bush for his bailouts. Santorum, therefore, would have let the entire U.S. economy -- not just the Midwest -- collapse in the name of conservative ideology.
Romney's flip-flops
But getting back to Romney, his flip-flops on this issue defy all logic, particularly for a candidate from Michigan with a father who once ran American Motors Corp.
And while the UAW, Michigan's Republic Gov. Rick Snyder and many others in the media are rightfully exposing Romney's failed logic, the most credible opinion is that of Steven Rattner, the former Obama administration car czar who actually executed the bailouts.
Here's what he told Bloomberg this week about Romney's position:
"If the advice that he [Romney] had prescribed in November of 2008 had been followed by either the Bush administration or the Obama administration, we would have today no auto industry, no Detroit, no state of Michigan -- no exaggeration."

All manuscripts are evaluated by a panel of Naval History editors, whose list of accepted and rejected articles is presented at the monthly meeting of the U.S. Naval Institute Editorial Board.
All submissions should be annotated. Also include art suggestions, a short biography and your email address, return street address, and home and office telephone numbers.
Naval History

Email inquiries and manuscripts for Naval History to: [email protected]

To qualify as an article in Naval History, a manuscript must have fewer than 3,000 words.
The rate of payment varies from $60 to $150 per estimated published page (1,000 words). Book reviews ($75 per review) and pictorials ($250-$500) are commissioned and, although queries are welcome, unsolicited reviews are discouraged. The rate of payment for anecdotes is $25 each.
Review past Naval History articles by browsing the current table of contents or the table of contents archive, or by searching our article archive. Payment is upon publication.
Freelance writers looking to be published in Naval History face a formidable obstacle—a huge bank of already accepted manuscripts. Professionals will appreciate that publications usually buy more manuscripts than they can possibly use, because it is always better for an editor to have too much material from which to choose than not enough. Hence, the competition is stiff for getting your manuscript accepted in the first place and equally so in having it published.
That said, a good story will invariably make it into the magazine more quickly than a "for the record" reminiscence of life at sea. This is not to say that we are uninterested in well-documented facts. We are simply looking for an engaging narrative to accompany them.
Queries are always the best bet before an author assembles a story. We may already have related material in the bank, the topic may have been recently exhausted, or it may simply not be right for this publication. Because of the amount of mail we receive, the query should grab the editor's attention from the start. Give away the best part of the story in the first paragraph of the query. Then delineate your qualifications for writing such a piece. And have a thick skin, because a favorable response from the editor will likely elicit only a form letter agreeing to see the manuscript on speculation, with no commitment on the publisher's part. Completed manuscripts are always welcome and are evaluated in the same manner as all others.
Be patient after submitting the piece. Most magazines deal with hundreds of authors at a time, so sympathize with the editors making the decisions. Editors at Naval History would like nothing more than to accommodate and publish all their authors expeditiously. Unfortunately, it is simply an impossible goal. Be patient.
Sample clips hardly ever sway an editorial decision, but they do give further indication of the query writer's ability. Evidence that the author has been published before, while not necessarily a qualification for writing naval history, does play a part in the equation.
Most editors likely will agree that freelancers should refrain from telephone queries, on both interest in a topic or the status of a manuscript under evaluation or already purchased. If all authors called editors with such questions, not much evaluating—or publishing, for that matter—would get done.
The best way to "break into" Naval History is first to identify a good story, with one or several of the following: drama, action, humor, irony, emotion. Then give your best shot in the lead paragraph, generally without giving away—unlike the query—the upshot of the story. The author-editor team has only seconds to draw the reader into the story. The opening needs to be sufficiently provocative or attractive as to leave the reader wanting more. Save the vital statistics of the characters or other arcane details for later in your story. In other words, do not begin with "He was born on New Year's day . . ." unless of course that is the focus of the piece.

Open my inbox...delete, delete, delete
I have a problem… I am filled with wanderlust. All day, whilst apparently working, I am in fact planning and working out exactly which part of the world I would like to see and explore next.
Every year I spend a small fortune on far flung travel. Yet every time I get an e-mail from a travel company, all it does is throw as many offers per square inch as possible at me.
Now I, as a marketer, know that unfortunately the old ploy of throwing enough of a certain substance at people will ensure that some of it sticks – particularly when it costs so little to throw out e-mails.
The thing is that really the cost is huge. Maybe not in broadcasting, but in people getting bored! After looking through yet another list of offers that I know I am not going to take up today, I stop bothering and stop even opening the e-mails.
Yes, when I am in the market, I might reach for the offer laden e-mail, but the travel company that is going to get my real long-term travel business is the one that engages me. I want to read about where I am going.
After I have booked I would like e-mails sent through every now and again to get me excited about my upcoming trip. I want recommendations on the type of music, food or entertainment I can expect.
Give me links to Amazon CDs and books on the place, give me pictures of the bizarre sights I will see or the golden beaches, at least acknowledge you know where I am going and when! In fact give me anything but another load of special offers, just like those released from every other online travel agent at the same time every week!!
Gavin Sinden, director of digital marketing specialists Incepta Online.

Because of ECW's cooperation I was able to witness cutting-edge wrestling, well before the WWF and WCW either stole Heyman's ideas or employees.
But for the love of God, please do not make me sit through another ECW "invasion" ... in TNA or anywhere else!!! This is no knock on any individual wrestler or wrestlers. This is a knock on an idea that's been ground into the earth ... and one that makes little sense as it's being presented in TNA.
With all due respct to Raven, Tommy Dreamer, et al., how can there be an invasion when ECW, in any form, no longer exists? Where are these former ECW wrestlers actually invading from? Think about it. How could Germany have invaded Poland in the 1940s if Germany didn't exist? Makes no sense, right?
Second, what reason would these aged wrestlers have for "invading" TNA? What are they so pissed off about? Unlike the Nexus, who are fighting for their futures in WWE, Stevie Richards, Rhino, and company should be grateful that TNA has given them jobs.
Finally, get on with it already. ECW hasn't "invaded" TNA as much as it has oozed into the Impact Zone. No momentum, no intensity.
As a fan and a PWI employee, I have lots of great memories from the time I covered ECW events, and I wish all the alumni great success, but please, enough is enough.

October 19, 2010
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, PLAINTIFF,v.GENARO TORRES, MARIA E. GARCIA, DEFENDANT.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: David G. Larimer United States District Judge
(effective July 1, 2010)
This order will control the conduct of the trial in this case.
Argument on motions will be held on February 16, 2011 at 10:00 a.m.
A jury trial is scheduled to commence on May 2, 2011 at 8:30 a.m. This is a day-certain trial date which will not be adjourned.
Counsel must notify this Court immediately if a pretrial resolution of this matter has been reached. The Court encourages the Government to set a deadline for disposition of the case by plea. This will allow for the orderly disposition of cases and avoid needless effort and expense of counsel and the Court.
A pretrial conference is scheduled for April 19, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. The attorneys who will actually try the case must be present at the pretrial conference.
At the pretrial conference, the Court, together with the parties, will determine the trial schedule. It is the general practice of the Court to start each day of trial at 8:30 a.m. and run until 1:30 p.m. without a lunch break. In some cases, though, circumstances may dictate that trial be conducted all day, from 9:00 a.m. until approximately 4:30 p.m.
Unless otherwise indicated, the following pretrial submissions MUST BE FILED with the Clerk of the Court and served on opposing counsel at least TWO WEEKS before the pretrial conference. THESE REQUIREMENTS ALSO APPLY TO ANY ADJOURNED TRIAL DATE OR ADJOURNED PRETRIAL CONFERENCE DATE.
1. Voir Dire Preparation
All parties must submit, on a separate page, the name, firm name and business address of the attorney or attorneys trying the case and the names of any assistants that will be in court at counsel's table.
Each defendant must submit, on a separate page, the full name and address of the defendant. The Government must submit a list of its prospective witnesses.
Each defendant must submit a list of witnesses that he expects will testify.
For proper identification to the jury, the parties' witness lists should include the following:
(A) The full name of the witness.
(B) The occupational association of the witness, e.g., FBI, Monroe County Sheriff's Department, victim teller at bank.
(C) The address of witness - city and state will be sufficient.
(D) A brief statement of the general subject matter expected to be covered by the witness (e.g., John Doe, chemist who analyzed drugs; Mary Smith - victim teller at Marine Midland Bank).
The Court will conduct voir dire by asking a standard list of questions of the panel. The parties may submit a list of proposed questions they wish the Court to ask the panel. Failure to do so constitutes a waiver of any requests by that party. Depending on the circumstances of the case, the Court may allow counsel to make brief inquiry of the panel.
2. Jencks Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3500
It is in all cases preferable and advisable that § 3500 material be exchanged according to a schedule previously established, but no later than TWO WEEKS before the pretrial conference. This practice avoids lengthy delays during trial and affords the defense a reasonable opportunity to review this material.
3. Exhibit Lists and Exhibits
The Government must file an exhibit list on forms supplied by the Clerk's Office that briefly describes each proposed exhibit. This list must include all exhibits that the Government intends to use in its case-in-chief.
Defendant must file an exhibit list containing those exhibits he/she expects to introduce in his/her direct case.
Exhibits that the attorneys anticipate will be used during cross-examination for impeachment, to refresh a witness' recollection or otherwise must also be included in the exhibit lists.
ALL exhibits shall be denominated by number. The Government's exhibits shall use numbers 1 through 399; defendant shall use numbers 400 through 699. All exhibits on the exhibit lists must be physically tagged and marked with ...
Our website includes the first part of the main text of the court's opinion.
