Welcome to the website of Aves Press Limited. The motivation for our establishment was the need to preserve the Howard and Moore Checklist of the Birds of the World from some of the arbitrary decisions made by major publishers. With the successful launch of volume 1 of the new edition of this reference work a first such step has been taken. The title is now charity-owned and certain principles have been laid down affecting any contract with a publisher which Aves Press felt well able to accept. We are also now involved with piloting the future of this reference work through the choppy waters of a publishing industry coming to terms with electronic publication. Over the remainder of 2013 our plans for this will gradually be made clear.
We no longer possess stocks of the 2003 edition of the Howard & Moore checklist but if you enquire we can probably direct you to a stockholder. For news of the imminent launch of the new edition see our Books Page

"It was poetic, in retrospect," O'Day said. "Drove around for an hour trying to find some flowers. I went and visited him, made my peace with it. Talked to him, came back, and they put me in a game here."

"That kind of gave me the confidence. It's crazy to think that all happened in Baltimore," said O'Day, who still writes Adenhart's initials on the inside brim of his game hats.
"It played a big role in my transition from being OK to good, because I saw the game taken away from him without his choice. That, with the combination that I was on my third team in one year of major league service, I was like, 'What am I doing? I'm spending all of my time out here worrying about if I'm good enough to be here instead of really finding out if I am. I've shared that story with various teammates in hopes that they can find something that motivates them, too"
For the next two seasons, O'Day became one of the best set-up relievers in baseball, posting a 1.99 ERA and pitching in the 2010 World Series. The next year he dealt with injuries and the Rangers attempted to slip him through waivers in October.
The Orioles claimed him even though they were in between general managers and didn't have an official front office leader (Dan Duquette was hired a week later). In 2012, O'Day became the Orioles' most trusted set-up man, and he has continued to thrive in a late-inning role — compiling a 2.35 ERA in 132 career appearances as an Oriole. His superb 2012 season landed him a two-year, $5.8 million contract that includes an option for 2015.
"When he got the two-year contract, he came in and said, 'Thank you,' to me. I said, 'You thanking me? How about we thank you?'" Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "He's one of those guys, that if you weren't 57 and tired all the time after a game, you'd like to hang out with him."
"Game for just about anything"
O'Day is part practical jokester and part learned intellectual. The two sides have been clashing since he was a child.
"I like to do things people say I can't do, show off and be goofy. So I would get grounded every so often," O'Day said about his childhood. "And when I'd get grounded they'd lock me in a room and I'd have to read. My mom would buy me piles of books for when I did get grounded. And I would just read them."
He's still an avid bibliophile; he loves detailed pieces on why things are the way they are. This summer, O'Day read a book that explained the history of the periodic table of elements and another that researched the background of common scientific laws.
"He's over my head. If he had talked about that kind of stuff back then I many never have signed him," joked Kotchman, the scout. "I just knew he was a good baseball player."
A self-admitted technology geek, O'Day pre-ordered the original iPad, wanting to be one of the first in the country to have it. He often tools around Camden Yards and road cities on a Solowheel, a portable electric unicycle.
Both products have been used against O'Day by his friends. When he was in Texas, veteran lefty Darren Oliver intercepted the shipping of the original iPad and hid it for days, leaving a frantic O'Day searching for his new toy.
"He was a hot mess," Prann, his wife, joked.
Last summer, MLB Fan Cave, Orioles closer Jim Johnson and Showalter concocted a fake interview about the Solowheel with an actor posing as a Wall Street Journal reporter to prank O'Day. It culminated with Showalter screaming at O'Day for jeopardizing his career. The video has been viewed more than 57,000 times on You Tube.
O'Day has been the target of jokes because he's often the one messing with his buddies or doing something dumb for a laugh. Like the time in college when Prann, a Florida lacrosse player, and several of her teammates convinced him to don a women's lacrosse jersey and a skirt.
"I think it was about 10 girls to one, the peer pressure was on," Prann laughed. "Darren's game for just about anything, which is one of his great qualities."
Sometimes his conniving antics bordered on real trouble. Like when he and a few high school buddies attempted, as his mother called it, "a Chinese fire drill with a hostage." The plan was to drive down a busy road with a friend in the trunk. Stop. Pop the trunk from the inside and watch the friend jump out and run away, as if he were being kidnapped.
They were practicing in a shopping center when a woman exited an ice cream parlor with her children and saw the boy escape the car. She copied O'Day's license plate number and called the police, who sent three cruisers to his house. O'Day and his friends had decided not to pull the stunt on the road after all, but they still had to deal with the cops.
"They went and faced the [officers] and they were respectful, so fortunately they didn't fry them," Ralph O'Day said. "And they could have."
Showalter said O'Day has achieved the perfect balance between knowing when to let off steam and when to concentrate on his job. He's a guy with humble beginnings, a successful career and an ability to laugh at himself.
"He is the smartest dumb guy I know. Super book smart, but then he'll lock his keys in the car," Oliver chuckled. "He is a nerd that plays baseball."
As Hunter puts it, "He's the average Joe, I guess you could say. Everybody and their brother thinks that they can come in and throw sidearm in a big league game because of Darren O'Day."
Unlike most things in his life, O'Day's not going to over-analyze how an anonymous reliever has become a fan favorite or why his unconventional path to the majors has worked out so well. He's learned, through tragedy, adversity and a whole lot of laughs, to keep moving forward.
"It's definitely amazing," O'Day said. "I think what helps me every day is that I am so grateful for the opportunity to play this game for a living and do what I really love. That's helped me where I'm at now, just because of the journey I have taken."

Epilepsy Health Center
Epilepsy May Be Linked to Infertility Risk
Oct. 11, 2010 -- More than one-third of women with epilepsy may experience problems becoming pregnant, according to a new study of women from India. This rate is more twice as high as the infertility rate seen among Indian women in the general population.
The study is published in the Oct. 12 issue of Neurology.
There are many reasons that women with epilepsy may have difficulty conceiving, including the effects of certain drugs on hormones involved in pregnancy and facets of the disease itself or its severity.
The new study included 375 women with an average age of 26 who had epilepsy and were planning to start a family. They were followed for up to 10 years. During this time, 231 women became pregnant, and 144 women did not. Most pregnancies occurred within the first two years of attempting to conceive, the study researchers report.
More Epilepsy Drugs, Greater Infertility Risk
The more drugs the women were taking to control their epilepsy, the greater their risk for fertility problems. Women taking three or more drugs to treat their epilepsy were about 18 times more likely to experience fertility problems, compared with women who were not taking any epilepsy drugs.
Seven percent of women taking no drugs to control their seizures experienced fertility problems, compared with 32% of those taking one drug, 41% of those taking two drugs, and 60% of those taking three or more epilepsy medications, the study shows.
"This may be due to the adverse effects of taking multiple drugs or it could be a more indirect effect because people who are taking multiple drugs are more likely to have severe epilepsy that is difficult to treat," the researchers conclude.
Older women and women with less than 10 years of education were also more likely to experience difficulty conceiving. Fertility risk was not tied to the type of epilepsy in the new study, the researchers report.
The study did have some limitations. For example, women with epilepsy who were trying to conceive were not compared to a group of women without epilepsy also trying to become pregnant.
Prepregnancy Counseling for Women With Epilepsy
Kimford Meador, MD, a professor of neurology at Emory University in Atlanta, says there have been studies with similar findings in England, but other studies have not found an increased risk for infertility among women with epilepsy. Meador is also on the advisory board of the Epilepsy Foundation.
"Women of childbearing age with epilepsy should have a conversation with their doctor even before they are contemplating pregnancy as half of all pregnancies are unplanned," he says. "You want to make sure you are on the right drug or drugs and that your seizures are controlled before you get pregnant," he says.
If your epilepsy is under control before pregnancy, you are less likely to have seizures during pregnancy, Meador says. "You don't need to see a fertility specialist right off the bat," he says. "Most women with epilepsy still can get pregnant even without fertility help, and the majority of babies are normal."

It's wierd to me that the Warlock pet that does that does most killing is apparently the Void Walker, seems like it should be the Fel Hunter or Fel Guard. I mean I can't think the last time I've seen a voidwalker in pvp who was around long enough to beat on me b4 being sacrificed to make that little bubble around the warlock.
Loken? Honestly, with a good group he's not so bad. If you make sure everyone has enough HP to handle his 12-14k aoes then you're good. A pug I was running it with killed him with only one wipe because, with buffs, not one of use had under 18k health.

I was thinking that it could refer to Zuramat from Violet Hold by some glitch in the naming system, but the actual killer there - Void Sentry - is around page 2 of the list.

It will be slightly warmer this afternoon than the last couple of days and finally the winds have slowed down. Plenty of sunshine today with temperatures in the middle to upper 50s to right around 60 to our south. It will be cold again tonight with temperatures in the 30s. A FREEZE WATCH is in effect for tonight for all of central Alabama, but not everyone is expected to fall below freezing tonight. Unseasonably cold weather will persist across the state today with a warming trend through the end of the week. A series of upper lows will move across the region, bringing precipitation on Friday with the best chance by Sunday. Temperatures will gradually warm close to normal for this time of year with daytime highs reaching into the low 70s Saturday.

Angela Adams: New Tile Collection
Some things are just meant to be. Angela Adams, who makes drool-worthy rugs and textiles, now uses her signature style on a recently-launched collection of tile for Ann Sacks. Her fearless patterns and impeccable color combinations translate well.
The leap from the soft materials she is known for to the hard tiles is a natural progression.
Part of the collection, Forms, are all-white with patterns pressed into the tile to create a relief. These organic geometrics are subtle and stunning.
The colorful half, Graphics, takes a strong cue from Angela's carpet designs, even sharing pattern names.
Available from Ann Sacks.

thanks for letting me know about the tiles... i've long admired her designs and her sweet website! she was doing these really cool linen aprons with her quirky weedy motifs.
the white on white relief tiles speak to a far away South American place in me, but the geometric tiles... i can see them as dated- as in people will hate them in 20 years, like that harvest orange, avacado green grease-covered kitchen motif in every 70s kitchen with a leatherette booth...

Daily Strength for Daily Needs - August 13
August 13
In your patience possess ye your souls.--LUKE xxi. 19.
What though thy way be dark, and earth
With ceaseless care do cark, till mirth
To thee no sweet strain singeth;
Still hide thy life above, and still
Believe that God is love; fulfil
Whatever lot He bringeth.
The soul loses command of itself when it is impatient. Whereas, when it submits without a murmur it possesses itself in peace, and possesses God. To be impatient, is to desire what we have not, or not to desire what we have. When we acquiesce in an evil, it is no longer such. Why make a real calamity of it by resistance? Peace does not dwell in outward things, but within the soul. We may preserve it in the midst of the bitterest pain, if our will remains firm and submissive. Peace in this life springs from acquiescence even in disagreeable things, not in an exemption from bearing them.
The chief pang of most trials is not so much the actual suffering itself, as our own spirit of resistance to it.

Men hate to hear this, but their sexual potency peaks during their teenage years and then starts to decline.
This decline occurs because men start to produce less testosterone as they get older. And their blood circulation gets weaker, which affects a man's ability to achieve and sustain an erection.
Failing to perform sexually can be damaging in many ways. It not only destroys a man's confidence and self-esteem, but it also has a negative impact upon any relationship or marriage he might be in.
Is Viagra the Answer?
Some men take pharmaceutical drugs, like Viagra, to help them. These drugs can be effective, but they require going to a doctor and getting a prescription.
Prescription drugs can also be quite expensive, and many users experience negative side effects, such as prolonged facial flushing, headache, stomach ache, and nasal congestion.
Of even more concern, hundreds of men have died from heart attacks after taking Viagra. The reasons for this are still under investigation.
At best, prescription drugs like Viagra only provide a temporary solution to impotence. As a friend of mine said, "Do I really want to become dependent upon medicine in order to have sex?"
Zenerex is Different
Luckily, there are other options for men who want to enjoy sex without taking medicine.
Natural remedies, such as Zenerex, contain chemical compounds that can actually cure erectile dysfunction.
Some of these naturally-occurring chemicals stimulate the body into producing more testosterone. Others strengthen the heart and circulatory system, allowing more blood to flow to the penis. And some improve sexual stamina.
When all these natural ingredients are taken together, they can have a very powerful effect upon a man's reproductive system.
The Problem with Most Herbal Remedies
Unfortunately, most natural remedies are not very effective. Their herbal ingredients are weak and impure. Or their dosages are too low.
Many herbal products are manufactured overseas where there are no regulations. Some have even been found to contain unhealthy elements.
This is why so many people regard herbal cures as nothing more than scams. And they're usually right!
The Awesome Power of Natural Herbs
It's a shame that most people dismiss natural herbal remedies. There's a tremendous amount of ancient wisdom behind this kind of medicine.
The fact is, men and women have been using natural ingredients for centuries to cure them of all kinds of ills, including sexual dysfunction.
And did you know that hundreds of modern drugs used in hospitals are based on the chemical compounds found in plants?
For example, a new study by the United Nations University reveals that 62% of medicines used to treat cancer today are derived from plants!
Zenerex Combines Ancient Wisdom with Modern Science
Zenerex is an ideal example of what a top-notch modern-day herbal medicine for men should be.
First of all, it's made by a company called Everest Nutrition. This company has been in business for a long time with few registered complaints.
Here's a link to the Better Business Bureau website, which gives Everest Nutrition an impressive grade of A-.
Zenerex is only manufactured in this country and strictly follows the guidelines established by the Food and Drug Administration.
When you buy Zenerex, you can be sure that you're getting a product whose herbal ingredients have been thoroughly tested for strength and purity. And each pill contains a high enough dose of these quality ingredients to really be effective.
A Long History of Satisfied Customers
There are very few herbal medicines sold today that have as many satisfied customers as Zenerex does. Here's a short video of real people describing their personal experience with the product.
If you decide to try Zenerex, you should purchase it through the official manufacturer's website.
Not only will you be assured of getting the real product by buying it through the official website, but you'll also be eligible for the 90-day money back guarantee.
That's right–you'll have 3 months to try the product out. If you're not happy with it for any reason you can simply get your money back, no questions asked.
You will not be eligible for this money-back guarantee if you purchase Zenerex elsewhere. Plus, there's no guarantee that the product you receive will be the real thing.
How Do The Ingredients in Zenerex Work?
There are many important natural herbs that make up the unique Zenerex formula. The official website goes into great detail about each one of these ingredients, so I'm not going to list them all here. But there are a couple of ingredients that are especially powerful.
Super Herbs
As men get older their bodies don't produce nearly as much testosterone as they did when they were young. This is why all men experience a gradual, but relentless, diminishment of their sexual and athletic abilities.
The best way to increase testosterone naturally is by taking the herb called Tongkat Ali, which is one of the key ingredients in Zenerex.
Bodybuilders first used Tongkat Ali to increase muscle mass. But they noticed a startling side effect—an increase in sex drive and stronger erections.
Recently, the prestigious British Journal of Sports Medicine reported on a study that took place over a five week period. Subjects given doses of Tongkat Ali showed an amazing 5% growth in lean body mass during that relatively short period of time. This was due to an increase in testosterone levels.
The Amazing Horny Goat Weed
Another key ingredient in Zenerex is Horny Goat Weed, which got its nickname when a Chinese herder noticed an increase in sexual activity after his goats ate the plant.
This powerful herb is a natural Viagra. It works by relaxing and smoothing the walls of arteries, allowing blood to flow more freely. This means more blood can reach the penis, resulting in stronger erections.
Some men report that after taking Zenerex they experience erections that remind them of their teenage years! They also report better stamina and stronger orgasms.
Many users claim to be enjoying the best sex of their lives. But there are even more benefits…
Zenerex Improves Overall Health
High-quality herbal ingredients are good for your whole body. This is why herbal medicine is sometime called "holistic" medicine.
Herbs are packed with antioxidants that regenerate and protect human cells. Men who take Zenerex often report feeling better physically and mentally. They're more energetic and don't feel as much stress and anxiety.
Only Buy Zenerex Through The Official Website
If you'd like to try Zenerex, please go to the official website.
The Zenerex that comes from the official manufacturer's website is guaranteed to be the real thing. Plus, you'll be eligible for the 90-day money back guarantee. You will not be eligible for this guarantee if you purchase the product elsewhere.

It was more than 10 years ago that Josh Thomson first stepped in the Octagon. He hadn't experienced a loss up to that point in his young career, and was riding high, being an outstanding athlete on his way to the top.
But unbeknownst to the MMA crowd, the fighter's preparation was hindering him as he collected wins in the caged sport. Thomson said the amount he trained in his younger years hurt his ability to excel to a higher level than he had attained.
"It wasn't so impressive when I was getting hurt," he recently told Majority Draw Radio. "No one ever saw how impressive it was because I was hurt."
After years of fighting in organizations all over the world, Thomson recently returned to the UFC and is now preparing to face former division champion Benson Henderson. The pair will headline UFC on Fox 10 on Jan. 25.
The opportunity to face Henderson came in part as a result of staying healthy in Thomson's more recent years. Now in the 13th year of his career, Thomson said it's important for him to "dial it back" when training. The approach is what he attributes his longevity to in one of the world's most brutal competitions.
"I've dialed it back and learned different ways to train now," he said. "Every day I'm learning something new, and that's what I think has kept me in this sport so long.
"As you get older, your body always changes. You have to keep learning it and learning and relearning it. I have to figure out exactly what I can do. I adapt to different ways of training now: different styles of training, less impact on my body. There's a lot of things that I used to do back in the day that I can't do now and I just have to work around it."
Thomson said he at one time did four-a-day training blocks, starting early in the morning with running then packing various workouts throughout the rest of his day to the evening.
More MMA
After a while, this proved too much for him, even as he looked like he was in his best physical shape.
"That's a lot of workouts," he reflected. "I'd run in the morning for an hour and then I'd do the fighter training from 12 to 2. At 3:30, I'd do like a full plyometric workout and then I'd come back and hit mitts at night with [Javier Vasquez] for like an hour, and then I'd do the bike workout, which is all just cardio and push. That's four hard workouts in one day, and I'd do that like three or four days a week easily.
"Sometimes you have to just not go as hard, work more on the technique of it all. I knew something had to give."
Luckily for Thomson, he wised up and realized the importance of taking care of one's body and prioritizing workouts in a way that wouldn't run him ragged. Because of Thomson's now-careful approach in preparation, Henderson will have a tough fight on Saturday at Chicago's United Center against a guy that's been near the top for more than a decade.
"Ten years later I'm still one of the No.1 fighters in the world," Thomson proclaimed. "That to me says a lot. It's been 10, 11, 12 years of me fighting in the best organizations in the world, and I'm still one of the best lightweights in the world."(Follow @Erik_Fontanez on Twitter)

Josh fights every year or so as he is injured most of his career. average fighter and way to soft and brittle.

Falling branches and uprooted, overturned trees can be a real homeowner headache. In fact, trees cause tens of millions of dollars in damage each year.
Arborist Jan Scow says that as cities tighten their budgets, funds for regular maintenance of city-owned trees along residential streets are being slashed.
"A lot of things can go wrong with trees," says Scow. "Limbs fall out of trees more often, but the worst thing that could happen is if the whole tree falls over. People don't have the money to take care of the city's trees any more than the city has the money to. Trees that aren't taken care of get dangerous. That's a problem."
Scow says that means everyone should pay more attention to the trees around them and report any potential hazards.
"What many cities are having to do is they're just putting out fires," says Scow. "They're going to the emergencies and trying to deal with them as best they can."
On top of poor maintenance, Scow says many trees are exposed to things that weaken roots and damage limbs, including brushes with construction, utility lines, and traffic.
Landscaper Brent Green says tree trimming is not a job for amateurs.
"You really don't want to go out and just trim a tree because you have a weekend free and you want to," says Green. "If you cut the wrong branches or cut it down the wrong way, it could potentially fall on you and hurt you or kill you."
Jan Scow says the biggest danger sign to look out for is a tree that's leaning.
"What happens when a tree is out of balance like this, the whole tree might uproot and fall over or the trunk could break or the whole tree goes over," says Scow.
But trees provide other, more subtle, clues that they're in distress. Scow says some of the things to watch for include:
So, the next time you're at a park or just taking a walk around the block, look up and look around you. If you see a leaning or distressed tree, call and report it to the city.

Obscure studio equipment suggestions ?

Hi there, I've a never ending project of a DIY home studio stuck in the design stage, but as its stuck there i thought I'd ask a question?
Could you suggest any items you think i may not have thought of and might need to consider ?
Large open area with high ceiling to get lights above subjects.
Windows for natural light and scenes, black out for windows for full light control.
Open wooden ceiling rafters to hang lights, props, people etc.
Infinity curved shooting area, shiny white floor for reflections.
Makeup, changing, discussion sofa area.
Wall sockets for lights
Wall/ceiling mounts/brackets for lights, light boom stand for lights mobile and high
Continuous daylight balanced lighting option, heating & fan for cooling/blowing hair.
PC/processing desk & Internet connection
I'd not like to build this and miss an important consideration - do you have any hints...
A private changing area with mirror lights and table for make-up etc, models do like some privacy at times.
Some seating options, chair, stool, chaise longue etc, not forgetting something for the photographer as well.
Steps / step ladder so that you can get a different perspective on your model.
Strong points in the ceiling so you can set up a swing or hang lighting directly overhead of your model.
Underfloor heating for winter...not to be under-estimated for the comfort of all concerned.
A good hair and make-up assistant. Invaluable help to make the sitter feel better.
Don't try to mix natural light with continuous or flash. The colour temperatures are different and a nightmare to balance. When using the flash, block the windows.
Shiny white floors get dirty. Better to have a background roll - when it gets dirty, cut it off and use a new bit. You can also pull it into a scoop if you want one.
As above - music and refreshment. You need to make a relaxing environment. Play music the sitter likes, not what you like!!
Most of all......Imagination - you can overcome most shortfalls in studio equipment with this.
Many thanks for all those suggestions, i Like all of them and have added them to the list although the underfloor heating probably a luxury one step too far, i will though have an insulated floor built with building regs in mind.
I think a smoke alarm would be good, i have the fire extinguisher

Quote: I think a smoke alarm would be good,
At least one smoke alarm will be mandatory and I'd suggest that you also arrange a fire safety audit. Your local council can advise you on this but the cheapest, possibly free way is via the fire brigade directly.
Since you'll be involving members of the public; models, their friends, make up people etc., you might also want to have a H&S audit carried out before you begin using it. Particularly if you're planning to have heavy items suspended from the ceiling. Again, speak to your local council. There's usually a charge but sometimes there are ways around it.
You've already mentioned building regs. and all of your plans, including electrical and plumbing work (so far no-one's mentioned a toilet) will need to be approved before you pick up a screwdriver.
And don't forget your public liability insurance.
If I think of anything else, I'll let you know!
how about plug sockets at a high level then you wont trip over the cables for the lighting.
A member of our camera club has recently finished building a professional quality studio and having the sockets at head height works extremely well doing away with cables across the floor or hanging down to snare the unwary neck.
He has also set it so that all the sockets can be controlled from the front of the studio from a single row of switches + each socket is individually switchable at the socket.
He has also wired it up with ethernet cabling with a mobile PC point / trolly and a large Screen LCD TV so the room can double up as a TV / display area.
It all works very effectively and is a joy to use
Quote: how about plug sockets at a high level then you wont trip over the cables for the lighting.
From a H&S viewpoint, the jury's out re. high level sockets anywhere other than above a bench or work surface.
In reality, they don't really remove a tripping hazard, the just move it higher up. Also, cables need to be longer to be able to perform their job and the ensuing 'loop' below the outlet becomes a hazard in itself.

10 Uncommon Gift Ideas for a Party Host
Spice up their holiday
Give your hosts a selection of traditional holiday seasonings, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves, to serve as replacements for the ones they've been using for pies, cookies and other holiday delights. Package them in decorative airtight containers that will add a little extra spice to the season.
Go ornamental
Give your hosts a gift that will continue to say "thank you" year after year. An ornament for their Christmas tree or mantle -- one that evokes one of their special interests or carries an engraved message from you -- will help to make their holiday season bright.
Lights! Camera! Action!
For many people, one of their most cherished traditions is sharing a favorite holiday movie with their family each year. Make it easy for your hosts by putting together a small gift basket that contains a couple of classic holiday movies on DVD or Blu-ray, a premium hot cocoa mix, and some microwave popcorn.
Say it with flowers
For a gift that your hosts can enjoy immediately, bring an arrangement of flowers in a simple vase that can be reused again and again. By presenting your hosts with pre-arranged flowers, rather than an armful of cut flowers sans vase, you provide a beautiful and thoughtful gift instead of creating an unexpected chore that requires them to take time away from their guests.
Stay fresh
A set of inexpensive food-storage containers, in a variety of shapes and sizes, is the perfect gift for holiday hosts who are sure to have plenty of leftovers to manage after the party is over and the guests have all gone home. No one can ever have too many of these handy items.
Gift your host's best friend
For something untraditional, and unlikely to be duplicated by any of their other guests, give your hosts a gift that isn't really for them -- yet one that they'll appreciate. Focus your gift-giving efforts on your hosts' beloved pets -- a chew toy or braided leash for their dog, a catnip mouse or laser-beam chase toy for their cat -- and you'll have them eating out of your hand.
Book it
Everyone loves books, but in selecting a book to give your hosts as a thank-you gift be sure to choose something with enduring interest -- for them and the other people they may invite into their home in the future. Books about local history, architecture or crafts, or that feature photographs of the region where your hosts live, are the kind of volumes that people love to own and share with friends, but often don't buy for themselves.
Let's do lunch
Present your hosts with a gift certificate for a post-holiday lunch at one of their favorite restaurants -- or at a place that you like and would recommend if you don't know their preferences. If they're good friends, offer to join them and to share the meal.
Block that stain
Another practical gift that is sure to please your hosts is a set of either trivets or coasters, which will protect their furniture from hot plates or wet glasses respectively. Both trivets and coasters are widely available and come in a range of styles that can complement any décor.
Raise a glass
What better way to thank your hosts for a wonderful holiday party than with a gift that will make the next holiday on the calendar equally rewarding for them? Go beyond the typical bottle of wine and give your hosts some good champagne and two flutes with which they can ring in the new year -- and drink a toast to friendship.

Stage 8: Castres to Ax 3 Domaines
Hindsight is 20/20 as they say. Going into today, I thought that the fireworks at the finish would be more exciting than whatever happened on the HC Col de Pailhères. But I was wrong, the Col de Pailhères is gorgeous with sparse tree coverage leading to fantastic views and lots of fans. The finish was at a lower altitude and was thickly tree lined. I also got stuck behind the Publicity Caravan, so Instead of arriving at the top with 90-120min to spare like I had intended, I got there with about 20.
What you're seeing here is the flatbed tow truck that follows the publicity caravan incase of a breakdown. So on my way up to the finish I passed a lot of great fans along Ax 3 Domaines, too bad I only got a chance to see them on the way up.
By the time I got parked and found my way back to the course, I only had time to be within the last KM and all I got to see was the aftermath of the fireworks. But, it's not all a bummer, afterwards I drove to the Stage 9 start, and along the way drove over Col de Port… and the D618 that winds through these hills is absolutely amazing, it was fun to drive in a car but would be fantastic on a motorcycle.
Verdict: the French Pyrenees are amazingly beautiful, get here.

A year-long drug investigation ended this week with the arrest of three men of cocaine-related charges, Iredell County authorities say.
Sheriff's deputies say the investigation also turned up a "liquor house," where visitors could buy alcohol that had not been taxed by the state.
Deputies say the drug ring was based from a house in the Park Drive area, off U.S. 70 on the southwest side of Statesville. Investigators say that is an area of the county with a history of drug dealing.
Sheriff's detectives were able to complete drug transactions with several Statesville-area people, deputies say. In all, detectives say they seized 122 grams of crack cocaine with a street value of more than $48,000.
According to the sheriff's office, residents of the area had complained about illegal activities at the Park Drive residence, saying visitors could buy drugs and alcohol there.
Narcotics detectives say that during the arrest, they found a gallon of non-tax-paid liquor, plus seven cases of beer and drug paraphernalia. Investigators say a sign on the counter listed a number of drink prices.
Michael Stevenson, 31, was charged with two counts of trafficking cocaine; two counts of conspiracy to sell cocaine; three counts of possession with intent to sell or deliver crack cocaine; and three counts of sale or delivery of crack cocaine. He was jailed under $100,000 bond.
Also arrested and charged with possession with intent to sell or deliver crack cocaine and the sale and delivery of crack cocaine were 38-year-old Thomas Daye and 40-year-old James Allen Smith Jr.
All three men are from Statesville, deputies say.
The sheriff's office says the investigation is continuing, and that additional arrests are expected.

The third round of #stocktober begins. with…
Leatherface from "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" (1974)
Maybe the most effective horror movie of all time, the original TCM hits a nerve that few slasher movies can. The low budget, grainy film makes me feel as if the heat and the dirt is in my living room. The only thing I want after watching this movie is a warm shower and a cup of coco.
I choose to depict Leatherface as he appears at the end of the film. The end of this film is terrific, even as the girl drives away having survived nervously laughing and screaming, you know theres no coming back from this experience.
As leatherface throws his tantrum, we can't help but think about how there is no closure, him and the rest of his manaic family are still out there, free to do this all again. Creepy. Love it.
I wanted to make this card as gross and ugly looking as possible. I smeared ink, then colored it with yellow and green gray to get that putrid yellow background, hit it with a razor blade. Its my Helter Skelter.

Mobile Websites
Over 60% of our population accesses the Internet through their mobile phone.
Is your Website Mobile Ready?
The Problem: Most websites are built for viewing on a desktop/laptop screen. That being said, when viewing on a mobile device the first thing you're likely to notice is that it takes a relatively long time to load. The second thing is that the type on the page is pretty small and jumbled and third it might take a lot of zooming and pinching to navigate the site as well if it loads at all.
The Result: At that point, your potential customer may start looking around. According to a recent survey from Compuware, 40% of users have turned to a competitor's site after a bad mobile experience.
The Solution: iByte Mobile websites.

Shares in gold mining companies remain undervalued
Despite the likelihood of continued price rises, shares in goldmining companies remain undervalued.
With nothing standing in the way of a higher gold price, it's a wonder that shares in the miners haven't been rushed.
A price of $US2000 an ounce seems a foregone conclusion based on a survey taken by Bloomberg at a recent conference of gold analysts and miners in Canada.
Some experts are even more bullish. "I expect it to reach $US2000 in the next six months but how high it goes long term depends on how much money central banks print," a director of tip-sheet Fat Prophets, Angus Geddes, says. "If the past is anything to go by, $US3000 to $US4000 would have to be on the cards."
It's the only investment to have risen in each of the past 10 years but few are calling this a bubble, except for billionaire hedge-fund speculator George Soros.
On the contrary, the price has dropped in real terms since 1980, despite the popular belief that gold protects against inflation.
Its price needs to reach $US2467 – it hit $US1921 two months ago but has since slipped below $US1800 – to be worth the same in today's dollars, says the head of investment strategy and chief economist at AMP Capital Investors, Shane Oliver.
Gold bugs, mind you, look at it the other way around, claiming that just shows how inflation devalues currencies over time and, as a result, an ounce of gold today buys lots more US dollars than it did then.
Whatever. There's no denying gold flourishes during economic uncertainty, of which there is plenty. Zero official interest rates in the US, Europe and Japan are great for gold because the cost of holding it, in the sense you could be earning an income on your money in something else, isn't high.
Then there's the global problem of too much sovereign debt, another bonus for bullion.
Besides, you have only to consider what it would take for gold to fall. That would be a solution to the European debt crisis (no sign of that), a US recovery (getting there) strong enough to cut unemployment (oops) and a stronger US dollar (are you kidding?).
The single biggest threat to gold would be positive real interest rates in the US , which would provide income and be an inflation hedge.
But interest rates are forecast by the US's own central bank to stay at zero until at least the middle of 2013 and inflation is running about 2 per cent a year.
No wonder the big central banks are lifting their holdings while more fund managers and advisers are keen to hold part of their portfolio in bullion as a counterbalance to shares and bonds.
The puzzle is why gold shares aren't doing better. It's not as if the currency is a problem. Even in Australian dollars the gold price is about $1000 above the production cost of the most expensive goldmine.
If anything, a strong dollar helps by reducing the cost of diesel and equipment at the goldmine, especially for offshore producers.
Even so, there's no denying labour costs are rising and recent production shortfalls haven't helped, either.
But the real reason is the popularity of exchange-traded gold funds (ETFs – see panel).
These are sucking up funds that would usually have flowed to goldmining stocks, which are suffering from the market's general pessimism and fear.
It's as if the market has forgotten that a goldminer gives you much more leverage to gold; for every share you own you get the gains from more production which you d'on't from a gold bar or an ETF.
A 33 per cent increase in the gold price would increase the value of an unhedged gold stock by about 70 per cent, says the head of Eagle Research Advisory, Keith Goode.
"The bottom line is at these prices the gold producers are minting money," he says.
The disconnect between gold and mining shares, which are being valued on a price of about $US1250 an ounce, also happened between 1979 and 1984.
When the re-rating came it was heart-stopping. Goode predicts the half-yearly results in February will be a catalyst for the market
re-rating gold stocks this time.
"Some gold producers' share prices could easily increase by 50 per cent," he says.
They include Alacer Gold (with an estimated net present value of $16 on a gold price of $US2000 an ounce), Focus (17¢) and Silver Lake Resources ($7.18).
A stock such as Newcrest – Australia's biggest producer, making it the BHP Billiton of bullion – lagging behind the gold price seems incredible.
It has the lowest cash cost of the miners at $US493 an ounce, which will drop to $US320 when the huge Cadia East underground mining project begins producing next year.
Yet in the past year when gold has climbed 25 per cent, Newcrest shares have dropped by the same amount.

Mitt Romney, a gangly 17-year-old, looked neat and businesslike in his dark suit, white shirt, and narrow tie, with a badge on his lapel, as he took a seat at the 1964 Republican convention. He watched his father, George, representing the party's moderates, exhort the platform committee to adopt an amendment rejecting "extremists." The effort failed, Barry Goldwater became the nominee and, as Mitt later recalled it, his father "walked out of the Republican convention."
This week, 48 years later, Romney is walking into his own nominating convention as the Republican Party gathers in Tampa. But the story line has turned upside down. Mitt Romney isn't the moderate voice seeking to rein in the extreme forces in the GOP; he has become, as he called himself earlier this year, a "severely conservative" man looking to win the complete trust of the dominant right of his party, the Goldwater wing of his day. It is as if winning requires purging a key element of his father's political legacy. But an examination of the forces behind Romney's striking shifts on key issues makes it clear it is much more than that.

These crab cakes were really good; I especially enjoyed the red pepper. I used chille paste instead of regular hot sauce, which added a nice kick. The one thing I would suggest is to cook the cakes with low to medium heat; the medium high tended to burn more than cook.

Fashion Design Student Interview: Colleen McGuirk
School: Virginia Marti College
Hometown: Cleveland, Ohio
Website: http://www.colleenmcguirk.com
Facebook Page | Twitter
Why fashion?
I think that I was always going into the arts one way or another. I am very interested in fabric as a medium as well as the mechanical and technical aspects of Fashion.
When/how did you first realize you had a passion for fashion?
I guess that I have always been into it in a way. When I was little, I would stop in the middle of any store at the mall and need to investigate all of the different garments. The colors, textures, and embellishments really captured my imagination. I was recently tidying up when I found one of my middle school sketchbooks with fashion illustrations in it – I didn't remember drawing them!
What is your proudest accomplishment thus far in your life?
Finding about the different ways I and others learn has had a tremendously positive impact on my life. I was a really horrible student; so bad in fact that after ninth grade the school I was attending asked me to leave because of my poor marks. I worked at for a few years and by the time I got to college, I was better prepared and capable of learning; I did quite well.
What college did you attend and what is your major?
I went to Virginia Marti College in Cleveland, Ohio. I majored in Fashion Design.
What are the top 3 reasons you chose to attend this school?
- It was close to my home.
- It's a small private technical college with courses that are precision-focused on each major.
- The small class sizes – students really have the opportunity to dive deeply into any given subject with their instructors.
Would you recommend this school to someone looking to go into fashion?
Yes, I definitely would recommend this school.
Although, I think it is important to understand something before you enter any program. You should decide whether or not you really want your degree. I have my Associates, but I really didn't need to get it. Virginia Marti has a continuing education program (aka part time enrollment) that in retrospect may have been better suited to my particular needs. All in all, I was glad I went there:)
What courses in your major have you found to be most valuable?
The design course focused mainly on drafting and draping theories- which is incredibly valuable. It has become the backbone to all of my technical knowledge. Thanks to that course, I can literally make anything –even from simply looking at a picture.
**Shout out to my instructor and department head Ms. Judy Boryczka!
Also, I found the Fashion Illustration courses to be really engaging. These were probably the two most enjoyable classes I completed.
Besides your courses, what have you done to expand your knowledge and passion for fashion?
While I was in school, I volunteered to dress for some fashion local fashion shows. I learned a lot during those events. Since I have graduated, I have been focusing more on the business end of being an independent designer. This means a LOT of reading!
Does your school offer internship connections/ assistance in finding internships?
The school will give out occasional leads and are very helpful (if you ask for help).
What unique features does your school offer that other fashion schools may not?
The small class sizes really cultivate an intellectually nurturing dynamic between the instructors, faculty and students. I've really learned a lot from everyone that I've met there.
What advice would you give to someone hoping to attend this school in your major?
It is pretty intense. Be prepared to get little sleep. Also, much of what you learn and how much you are exposed to is up to you. This is very much a school for adults; you must take the reins!
Future of a Fashion Designer
What is next for you and what is your ultimate dream career?
Next: I have been thinking about all of the things that I'd like to learn and experiment with- and I think for the rest of the summer I would like to get back into illustration (fashion and other things). That would probably be my dream job- Fashion Illustrator. Also, I think that I would like to create cut and sew patterns- something that could equip people with the tools needed to make themselves a fine garment (that and I do really like pattern-work).
