Welcome to Norwegian Ninja!
As we are new here at WAM, we will first use some time to gather steam. We're looking for wreckers from anywhere on the globe who would be interested in contributing to Norway's first ever ninja movie for the big screen! (If you are a Norwegian wrecker you may know about the project from its local title: "Nytt Norsk Håp". Google that for some press coverage.)
The writer/director is Thomas Cappelen Malling, and the film is produced by yours truly and the Oslo-based production company Tordenfilm. We will shoot the film in the fall of 2009, and it will be ready for release in the second half of 2010. The total budget is NOK 19 million / EUR 2,1 million.
The film is centered on a secret force of Norwegian ninjas, led by Arne Treholt (see wikipedia link below), who fight back against Superpower incursions in the fair kingdom of Norway. Genre-wise it's a satirical adventure film. However, we strongly wish to avoid being a genre parody or spoof like "Naked Gun" or "Austin Powers". We want believable characters who take the events of the film at face value. Great comedy is a serious business, indeed.
We will discuss more of the film's content and style in relation to specific tasks.
But listed below are some thematic keywords for our film.
These are areas in which we wish to have wreckers contribute with tasks in the future.
Ninjas and ninjutsu - both historically and what we see in pop culture today
European Cold War history, seventies-eighties
The Treholt espionage trial ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arne_Treholt )
Zen buddhism
NATO's Stay Behind forces ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Gladio )
Conspiracy theories surrounding Cold War politics and espionage.
Seventies-eighties exotic military tech
Invisibility tech
Steampunk gadgets and vehicles
Eighties dress/hair styles and lingo
Old-school visual effects (in-camera stuff like miniatures, false perspectives, matte paintings etc.)
New-school visual effects (3D animation and compositing etc.)
Stunts/acrobatics/parkour/martial arts/extreme sports
The first task we ask of you, our wrecking partners, is to sign up for our production.
Use the Shots function to announce yourself and your areas of interest!
As inspiration, we've attached a "class of 1980" photo of the Ninja Force, taken at their training base at Ramsund, Norway. The legend reads: "When the job is done, it's history".

Master Hertz! I wholeheartedly concur with your view, Sir! This is a most serious undertaking and enterprise! But please, do join us on the 'Music ideas' thread - So we can 'pick your brain' if you will!? ;D

I think the music you linked to is too "funny". I think this film needs a soundtrack with a lot more hero attitude - a little like Indiana Jones with a twist of Japan and also a lot more depth to fit the Norwegian landscape.
cool, very italian.. classy!August 28, 2009 12:59 0 Thumb-ups
Norwegian Ninja Dôjô Playlist
So, we need to talk more about music or a potential soundtrack or playlist.
Ofcourse, next to an original score (which I'm sure someone is already hard at work on, heavy with synths as it should be). A very cool and entertaining task to play around with is putting together a playlist or compilation of songs and music that could work out as some form of a soundtrack.
Music that could help strengthen the atmosphere and overall feel of the production. Or songs that helps illustrate the zeigeist and feeling that really make the audience connect with the setting/story/plot.
Yeah yeah, enough talk - so I made a playlist for Spotify!
Check it out http://open.spotify.com/user/z0mbieelvis/playlist/5inbxt1qHkFyRjGIXmssMi
For those of you who doesn't have access to Spotify,
I'll transcribe the list below. But what sounds or tunes would YOU like to hear? Or what kind of music do you associate with the late 70s or early 80s that would be perfect to score a norwegian ninja movie?
Let's spin some records! ;D
Allright! Let's have some fun! ;DAugust 28, 2009 20:16 1 Thumb-up

paraphrasing jon michelet`s orions belte
perhaps one should paraphrase one or more scenes from the movie orions belte. it would fit very nice!!
one should let sverre anker ousdal once again play skipper on the sandy hook, together with helge jordal as tommy jansen and put jon michelet in the role hans ola sørlie had in the movie from 1984.
these are the right guys to deploy treholt and the ninjas out on covert ops.!!!
also.. it would be nice to once again see jon eikemo as a representative for the norwegian police, but this time as ørnulf tofte( chief investigator from politiets overvåkningstjeneste in the actual treholt case.) which could be treholt`s nemesis in the norwegian ninja movie.
let me strongly suggest reading the ørnulf tofte biography "spaneren" to get first hand information and inspiration regarding POT`s point of view on contraespionage dealing with the russians in norway and europe, at the time being.... and toftes point of view regarding the treholt case.
This is all duly noted. "Orions Belte", indeed.
Our cast and script are in place and we're already approaching the middle point of our shoot, so we can't promise anything. But there are other ways to invoke the spirit of this classic...
PS: Would love to see the English version they shot simultaneously... it's on the double disk DVD edition.August 26, 2009 18:20 1 Thumb-up
thank you lord fakenham:)August 26, 2009 18:19 2 Thumb-ups
Oh my sweet lord! You just blew my mind! 'For hælvete, gutar!?'
It also somewhat amazes me that we haven't had any reference to either 'Orions Belte' OR 'Etter Rubicon' on any of the posts/influences here..
Great post, Sir! ;DAugust 26, 2009 13:10 1 Thumb-up
Unique Soviet Snowmobiles
While on the topic of cold war and arctic regions.. What could be more perfectly intriguing and fascinating than unique soviet-era snowmobiles!? Some of these stayed in production up until as late as the 70s and 80s.
There is an article worth reading/browsing here:
This could perhaps bring a charming 007-mystique aswell as productionvalue?!
I know this follow-up is pretty damn late, but I DID SEE one of these badboys in a small news-segment on NRK this easter.. I just totally forgot to report it. (Will try to locate or find the segment on NRK nett-tv).
Some couple in their 60s, run/operate a seasonal motel or inn, and have done so for atleast 40 years. And they use a snowmobile from the late 40s to transport their goods up the mountain, as there are no roads.. It looked pretty damn fantastic! :)

This might make you regret there aren't more women in your script.
I totally fell in love with one of the blogs referred to further down, the dark roasted blend, if you haven't yet explored it, you should. Everything on their site is breathtaking or weird.
Anyway, if you haven't already seen it, these women and their robot friends are simply wonderful. And even they're from a different era, the idea might be something for your Umbraco caracter.
Stylish, indeed. Thanks.
In the end of the 70ies NBC made an attempt to put on a gigant tv-drama called Supertrain. I was thinking that this train, witch apparantly caused so much trouble for the production (wrecking all the time) that it finally made them close the whole thing down. Maybe also because it was a major flop.
Anyway, it's a real fun train. And the music is also kind of interesting. And the way it's shot also. And the bad models. fun fun fun
good question, but I kind of enjoy both that it works and doesn't work.March 10, 2009 22:33 1 Thumb-up
Thanks for that, Vera. An interesting clip for analysis. In some of those shots, the scale of the train is totally believable, in others it falls flat. So - what makes the ones that work, work?March 10, 2009 20:59 0 Thumb-ups

Ninja missions
One of the missions of the ninja troop could be stopping a russian submarine with the help of a fishing boats fishing net. I remember spooky tales of russian submarines travelling up and down our fjords spying with their super telescopes, this was one of THE paranoia scenarios during the 80s! Maybe it could be linked with the deep sea divers in Norway as well, who were paving the way for the Norwegian oil adventure?
Wouldn´t it be cool with scuba diving Ninjas, originally disguised as mustachioed filshermen on an old fishing trawler!
Nail on the head: Rest assured that scenes involving mysterious goings-on in our fjords are on the drawing board!February 11, 2009 22:07 1 Thumb-up
Great idea! Maybe we could get some of the oil companies to help and even sponsor some of these scenes? Would be a great way to show off their high tech oil drilling platforms and would provide great scenery for the movie. Can beat the amazing fjords and the high sea.February 10, 2009 20:59 1 Thumb-up

Good Girls Go Bad1 Reviews
Yeahhhhh :)
'I missed you!' She squeaked, tackling me to the bed.
'Yeah…. I missed you too.' I said with no emotion. She didn't notice. She never did. For the past week or 2, I had been getting more and more annoyed with her. I snapped, used no emotion in my voice and sometimes yelled at her. She just though I was home sick or something.
'So, how's your new friends? They nice? Can I meet them?' She rambled. I wasn't listening though. Could I really call them my friends? Sure Mikey was, but there was Gerard and E-Jay. Where they my friends?
'Frank?' Jamia snapped, pulling me from my thoughts.
'What? Oh yeah, they're nice. You can meet em for sure. Wanna go now?' I was desperate to go back… which scared me. I knew it wasn't for Mikey or E-Jay. I wanted to see Gerard. Maybe if I came back, he;d smile.
'Let's go!' She grabbed my hand and dragged me from my room. Before we made it out of the house, my mobile started to ring. I didn't have to look at the caller ID. I had set a certain ringtone for Mikey.
I hit the green button. I didn't have to say anything because Mikey began to speak before me.
'Hey, come back up soon. Gee says he misses your tight arse.' He giggled.
'Hey!' I heard Gerard yell. He sounded happy though, which made me smile a little.
'Yeah, I'm coming back now. Jamia's with me, I hope you don't mind.' I added, I didn't want to show up with an unwanted person.
'Sure, that's fine. See you soon.' Mikey hung up before I could say good bye.
While we walked, Jamia clung onto me like I was her life-support. Normally, I wouldn't have minded but recently I did. I refused to let myself think it was because of Gerard. I'd just met him and I wasn't gay.
Gerard was sitting on his front step, smoking a cigarette. He was still shirtless but had a pair of skinny jeans on that hugged his thighs nicely.
'Come back for more, Frankie?' Gerard teased. 'Well, hello miss.' He said politely to Jamia.
I could tell Jamia wasn't pleased. What Gerard had said suggested I was cheating. She crossed her arms across her chest and pouted. Gerard laughed a little. I smiled again, just because he was happy.
'Come on. E-Jay misses you.' He was pissing Jamia off on purpose, the way he said it made my heart skip a beat. His voice was so sexy when he was patronizing someone. He tossed his cigarette butt to the ground and walked through the door. We followed. Jamia gripped my arm tighter when we entered the lounge room. Mikey was watching some show on TV and E-Jay was lying on the floor, drawing. She looked up and smiled.
'Frankie!' She yelled. She jumped up and hugged me. Jamia gripped tighter when E-Jay kissed my cheek. Her lips lingered longer than normal. I guess they all made a plan on pissing Jamia off.
'If you hold on any tighter, my arm will fall off.' I whispered harshly to her. I felt badd but she loosened up a bit.
'This is Gerard, Mikey and E-Jay.' I added a bit louder. 'This is Jamia.' I told them. Mikey waved to show he was listening, Gerard made no move and E-Jay just laid back down.
'His girlfriend.' She said, making it clear that I was taken. I just rolled my eyes.
'Yeah, we got that.' E-Jay said, not looking away from her sketch pad.
'Ignore her. She's just pissy coz me and Frankie woke them up this morning.' Gerard said, reading the fear in my eyes.
"Thank you." I mouthed. Gerard smiled in reply.
Over the next hour or so, the hostility died down and we were all sitting around the kitchen table playing Truth or Dare. I sat next to Jamia, she sat next to Mikey who sat next to E-Jay and Gee was in the middle of us.
'Truth or Dare, Gee?' Mikey asked. We were on our third cycle. All of us having chosen dare at least once. E-Jay was evil when it came to dares. I may never go near another washing machine again.
'Dare.' He replied without a second thought.
'I dare you…. 'He smirked evilly and I knew what he was planning. 'To pash Frank.'
Gerard turned to face me, a wicked grin on his face. I had to smile back, he was too beautiful. He leant forward a little, looking into my eyes. I blushed a little. He came closer and closer till his thin lips pressed to mine gently. They were as soft as they looked, maybe more. His tongue slipped between my slightly parted lips. I had never kissed anyone other than Jamia, I like her kisses but Gerard's were perfect. Not too fast, not too slow. I rested my shaking hand on Gerard's thigh while Gerard brought one hand up to my face. He caressed my face gently. His tongue danced with mine, swirling and licking around. I barely noticed Jamia's protests until she slapped the back of my head.
'Frank!' She screamed.
'What?!' I snapped back at her.
'What the fuck are you doing?' She yelled right in my ear. I couldn't answer, I didn't know what I was doing. Without a word, I got up from the table and stormed out of the house. I didn't go far, since I didn't know the area. I just walked up Gerard's street and sat on the brick wall in front of a children's park.
I didn't hear anyone come close to me. I didn't even notice anyone sat next till me till they spoke.
'I'm sorry.' Gerard whispered, placing his hand on my knee. I looked down at his pale hand. His nails were painted black with red flicks.
'For what?' I asked. We were only doing what we were dared.
'I didn't mean to piss your …girlfriend off.' He said, hesitating on one word.
'I'm glad you did.' I said truthfully.
'We've been drifting apart since I moved.'
'That's not that long though.' Gerard's face screwed up in confusion. I had to laugh.
'I've been at school for a month but I left Nutley 3 months ago. My mum wanted to see a bit of everywhere we passed.'
'I still feel badd.' He mumbled.
'It's not like I asked you to kiss me. If anything, I blame Mikey.' I looked him in the eye, sadness still haunted his wonderful hazel eyes.
'I realized I never really loved her today when I didn't want to be with her like I usually do.'
'Are you going to break it off with her?' He asked politely, like he didn't want to push or offend me.
'I have to. I'm not sure how though. I've never broken up with someone before.' I admitted.
'Sit her down, tell her you had fun being with her. Explain why you don't want to be with her anymore and try to leave with good terms. Last thing you want is an ex out for revenge.' He smiled. I smiled back. He took his hand from my knee and brushed my hair from my face.
'Thank you, Gerard.' I said, blushing again.
'It's what I'm here for.' He smiled 'I'm sorry to run off like this but I have to go. I'll see you soon.' He got off the wall and kissed my cheek before jogging in the opposite direction than we'd come. A million questions ran through my mind. One of them was where he went. This was the 2nd time he'd left without a true explanation. I pushed it to the back of my mind, Gerard had his own life and it wasn't my place to stick my nose in.
I started to walk back to Mikey's. Jamia would have left but I didn't care. I didn't want to see her at that moment. I wasn't ready to face her.
'Are you okay, Frank?' Mikey's worried voice pieced the silence. He was sitting on the front step like Gerard had been an hour ago, just minus the cigarette.
'Yeah, I'm fine.' I said, sitting next to him.
'I am curious though.'
'About what?' He asked, fumbling with the hem of his shirt. He always did that when he was worried or bored.
'Where Gerard goes.' I mumbled. I felt I shouldn't know but I wanted to.
'No-one knows. He's a whore so he goes where his clients are.' Mikey seemed so cool about it. I nearly freaked. Someone that beautiful, nice and caring couldn't be a whore!
'Don't worry Frank. He's safe. He uses protection in every way. I believe he calls himself 'The Cleanest Whore'.' Mikey laughed. I saw nothing funny about it.
'I don't get it. He's so nice.' I tried piecing it together. The whore I knew and the ones on TV were arseholes.
'Gerard's complex. He's like this because his boyfriend died a few years ago. This is his therapy. He doesn't want to get hurt again.' Mikey said, still fumbling with his shirt.
'That's horrible. The dying part, not the whore part. I guess if it makes him feel better, it's okay.' I felt a little better knowing that Gerard was happy.
'How do you know he's okay?' I asked before I could stop myself.
'If he takes more than half an hour, we send a search party for him. It's never happened though.'
I let Mikey's words sink in. I felt so much better, even about Jamia. But I wasn't sure why I cared so much about Gerard. Sure he was my friend but I had never cared for my friends like I was now.
I let Mikey distract me with music and beer. E-Jay watched over us but didn't drink herself. She said it was fine that we drank but only if we took it easy. I wasn't much of a drinker so I got pissed easily.
I tried to stand still but I kept swaying. I couldn't sit either, I had too much energy so I decided to walk. I walked around the house, in and out of doors and back again. I heard the front door open. I went to investigate.
'Gerard!' I yelled as he closed the front door. I ran up to him, jumping into his strong arms.
'Whoa! What's up with you?' He laughed, readjusting me so I was on his hip like a baby.
''m drunk.' I tried to say clearly before bursting into a fit of laughter. It took me a minute to calm down. When I did, I felt drowsy.
'I can see that. Where's E-Jay?' He asked, making me lean my head on his shoulder.
'Bea's me.'
'How bout I help you get sober?' He asked sweetly. I nodded quickly. As long as he was helping me, I didn't care.
He continued to carry me like a little kid, probably not trusting my stability. I felt my energy levels slipping, falling in and out on consciousness every now and then. My head rested on his shoulder still, as he carried me. One minute we were in the kitchen, next Gerard was laying me in his bed.
'Sit up hon.' He whispered. I obeyed. He sat next to me and tilted my head back a little then put a water bottle to my lips. He let me take a few breaks but told me I had to drink the whole bottle. Again, I obeyed.
After the bottle was empty, Gerard took me to the bathroom. He didn't go in with me, he just stood at the door just in case. I staggered out of the bathroom, smiling like a complete fool.
'Feel better?' Gerard asked.
'Yeah.' I giggled.
I let Gerard carry me back to his room.
'Stay with me?' I begged as he laid me back down and covered me with his black doona. I didn't want to be alone.
'Of course.' He lay down next to me, on his side so he could watch me.
I was almost asleep but a question popped into my head and I couldn't stop myself from asking.
'What's it like being a whore?' I mumbled.
'Okay, I guess. Why do you ask?' I turned my head to face him, his face didn't show signs of embarrassment or anger. He was as calm as he always was.
'You seem soooooo happy.' I stated. I was having a hard time keeping my eyes open.
'Shh…. Go to sleep, we'll talk in the morning.' He kissed my forehead. It didn't take long for me to crash.
I think this just got longer, not much change at all. xxx

katy perry did a lot of Fckin culture appropriation @ one of the music awards?
Did Katy Perry just do a "geisha" performance at the American Music Awards? Yes. Complete with "geisha" costume (with slits up to the butt), stunted pseudo-Asian dance/walking, cartoon Kabuki makeup on her backup dancers, lots of fans, people in "Oriental" costumes beating drums, rice paper screens, and blown-up versions of the cheap paper umbrellas you put in your drinks.
Is it racist as fuck? Yes.
Is it the worst thing ever? Also yes.
Did the song have ANYTHING to do with Asian culture? No.
Is she the first pop princess to pull this shit? Absolutely not (for further reference, see Rihanna/Coldplay's "Princess of China" and Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B. phase)
what. the. fuck.
I spend a lot of time on the internet. I write in various places on the internet, I interact in lively and active commenting communities at different websites, and I partake in a multitude of online forums that have an ongoing and pretty continuous stream of communication between the contributors. Ya know what I've noticed? Any time a PoC starts to talk about their experiences with racism, a white person chimes in to derail the conversation and talk about their own experiences with 'reverse racism.' And yes, I'm going to say 'any time' and not 'sometimes' because I have never once been in an internet dialogue amongst commenters and observed a PoC bring up their experience with real, actual, systemic or overt racism and not encountered a white person trying to make it all about their experiences with perceived racism. Not once. It happens every time. Ya know what else? That shit is tired, played out, and incorrect. So let's talk about why reverse racism isn't real and why white people need to let that one go.
Racism exists when prejudice+power combine to form social constructs, legislation and widespread media bias that contribute to the oppression of the rights and liberties of a group of people. Racism is systemic, institutional, and far reaching. It is the prevalence of racism within social structures and institutional norms, along with implicit and explicit enforcement by members of a group, that allows racism to run rampant and unchecked. America is a country seeped in white privilege, and our social structure is built on colonization and forced slave labor that then turned into further systemic and ongoing oppression of PoC. We have a culture that presents whiteness as the norm and all else as 'other' or different. White is presented as the beauty ideal, the main face in the media (unless we're talking about criminals, then PoC get unfairly misrepresented), the standard, the regular. It's a structural problem that affects the perceptions of jurors in criminal cases, admissions to colleges, funding for public schools, welfare and food stamp programs, the redrawing of district lines that affect where we vote, who we see represented on T.V. and how, what schools people have access to, what neighborhoods people live in, an individual's shopping experience, access to goods and services; it's extensive and a part of the fabric that let's whiteness remain dominant in American culture.
When I'm online talking to people and a PoC is sharing their experience with racism, I'm listening and I am learning. This is an experience I will probably never have in my lifetime, simply because of the skin I was born into. I need to know what I can do to be a better ally and to make the world a more equal place one interaction at a time. So I observe, I listen, I join the conversation, and I try to understand. Inevitably, here comes a white person either claiming that they have a similar experience because they grew up in an all black neighborhood and got chased on the way home from school a few times, or because their black friend tried to touch their straight hair one time without permission and OMG THAT IS SO RACIST and it is the exact same thing, or some other such bullshittery, and they expect that ignorance to be suffered in silence and with respect. If you are that kid who got chased after school, that's horrible, and I feel bad for you. And if you are that person who had another person try to touch you without your permission, that was wrong of them, and I'm sorry that happened to you. But dudes, that shit is not racism.
The situations in which you, fellow white person, were involved were unfortunate and inappropriate, this is true. But to claim that these experiences were 'reverse racism' both diminishes and minimalizes the real and actual experiences of PoC who really do encounter racism. There is no system of oppression that actively works to oppress and subjugate white people. Sorry to break it to you, but your individual suffering is just that, individual. The individuals acting against you do not have the institutionalized power to actively oppress you in every facet of your life, nor would their racism be upheld and supported by government, media, and legislation if they did. Because you're white.
Reverse racism isn't real because we live in a culture that supports and enforces whiteness as the norm and PoC as other. If you experience discrimination, prejudice, or bigotry, it's valid to be upset about it and want to talk about it. It is not valid to claim that it is reverse racism, and certainly not valid to claim that it is racism on par with anything like the institutionalized racism that PoC will come into contact with. When a white person starts talking about reverse racism, what they're really doing is derailing a conversation to make it about them. Their white privilege leads them to believe that what they say both matters and needs to be heard and is important and the conversation should stop to focus on their perceived ills. You know what? When somebody is talking about racism they have experienced, that conversation is not all about you, nor should you expect it to be, so stop with the derailing and just listen and learn.
When white people complain about experiencing reverse racism, what they're really complaining about is losing out on or being denied their already existing privileges. And while it may feel bad to realize your privilege is crumbling and the things you've taken for granted can be taken away from you, it is unfair, untrue, and disingenuous to call that experience reverse racism.
What do you think? Do you ever get tired of people trying to make 'reverse racism' an active part of dialogue? Do you feel like people are derailing when a PoC is discussing racism and another person tries to claim they have experienced 'reverse racism'? Do you think 'reverse racism' is real and this whole piece is off point? Meet me in the comments and let's talk about it.
Wario thinks your story is unfortunate but it is'a not racism. It is prejudice. Calling it racism is'a extremely trivializing to the institutionalized racism People of Color experience. You experienced prejudice in'a one solitary part of your life. People of Color experience racism in'a every part of their lives because nearly every aspect of'a society is'a built on top of and around racism.
It'a doesn't excuse what they did to you, but the kids who bullied you are more negatively impacted by racism than you ever could be.

Society loves to portray the Black Panthers as the villains in America. They'll only tell you that they held guns and were "militant". The Black Panthers did many positive things for the Black Community; the Free Breakfast Program is one of them. It was designed to feed Black Children a good breakfast each morning so they could retain information at school. Too many Black Children, to this very day, go to school hungry because they cannot afford food in the morning. It has been proven that students do not learn as well when they are hungry. The Panthers were aware of this and wanted to ensure they had the opportunity to receive an adequate meal. As Huey said, "The Children always inherit the Revolution" so obviously they needed and still need to be invested in. They'll never tell you about this but I'm not surprised.

UCI to host May 22 public symposium on ovarian cancer
Experts will discuss risk reduction, symptoms, treatment and clinical trials
Ovarian cancer is the deadliest of gynecological cancers and is the fifth-most-frequent cancer among California women. But it's often overshadowed by awareness campaigns for more common cancers like those of the breast and colon.
"Treating ovarian cancer is challenging because there is no screening tool available to detect the disease in its early stages," says Dr. Leslie M. Randall, gynecologic oncologist at UC Irvine's Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center. "However, women can help themselves by finding out what ovarian cancer is, who's at risk, and what risk-reductions strategies exist."
To spread this knowledge, Randall will lead the Ovarian Cancer Awareness & Preventive Strategies Symposium at UC Irvine Medical Center from 1-4 p.m. Saturday, May 22. The public session is free, and registration begins at 12:30 p.m. For reservations, contact Trisha James at 714-456-7347 or firstname.lastname@example.com or visit the online reservation page (pdf).
Attendees will learn to recognize the often-subtle symptoms of ovarian cancer. Recent studies have shown a greater likelihood of the disease in some women with persistent bloating - daily for several weeks at a time.
"This symptom doesn't mean you have ovarian cancer - in fact, it's almost always due to benign conditions - but in certain situations, it might be a red flag," Randall says. "The symposium will feature ovarian cancer survivors sharing their stories and tips on when women should seek more aggressive evaluation of symptoms."
Early diagnosis is critical, but according to the National Cancer Institute, only 19 percent of ovarian cancers are detected while still confined to the primary site; 68 percent are identified after metastasis.
Other symposium topics will include:
- Ovarian cancer prevention strategies, including the potential advantages of oral contraceptives;
- Risk-reducing options for women with a genetic predisposition to ovarian cancer;
- Current treatment standards; and
- The role of clinical trials in ovarian cancer management.
There will also be question-and-answer sessions.
As Orange County's only National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center, UCI's Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center offers treatment beyond just conventional chemotherapy. Cutting-edge drugs and combination therapies are only available through clinical trials at such centers.
The public symposium is sponsored by UC Irvine Medical Center and supported by a grant from the California Ovarian Cancer Awareness Program.
About UC Irvine Medical Center: Orange County's only university research hospital, Level I trauma center, American College of Surgeons-verified regional burn center and National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center, UC Irvine Medical Center offers acute- and general-care services at its new, 482,000-square-foot UC Irvine Douglas Hospital.
About the University of California Irvine: Founded in 1965, UCI is a top-ranked university dedicated to research, scholarship and community service. Led by Chancellor Michael Drake since 2005, UCI is among the most dynamic campuses in the University of California system, with nearly 28,000 undergraduate and graduate students, 1,100 faculty and 9,000 staff. Orange County's largest employer, UCI contributes an annual economic impact of $3.9 billion. For more UCI news, visit www.today.uci.edu.
News Radio: UCI maintains on campus an ISDN line for conducting interviews with its faculty and experts. Use of this line is available for a fee to radio news programs/stations that wish to interview UCI faculty and experts. Use of the ISDN line is subject to availability and approval by the university.

Fajr Muhammad, President of Stylish Thought Media LLC shares the scoop with BGKI about her style…
What inspires you to blog?
Helping other young women through life's little missteps. Sharing my thoughts on style and life and hopefully inspiring others to share their thoughts and take action on their dreams!
How would you define your personal style?
Retro, quirky and feminine
Do you find that you follow fashion trends, or do you play by your own rules?
I think I play by my own rules, but I'm not so dogmatic to think that trends are the devil. If I love something I wear it!
Items to get, what are you searching for right now?
Are there any colors you tend to shy away from, and if so why?
NO! I love color!
When you hear the term "Black Girl Killing It" what comes to mind?
A young woman who is motivated, positive and learning to trust herself. Not just in her style but in her life. She's killing it on all levels, mind, body and spirit!
As a child were you always into clothes or did you grow into your own fashion sense?
Growing up my mother owned a boutique and was a seamstress, so I've always been surrounded by fashion.
Do you participate in your local fashion scene?
I do! I try to support local boutiques, thrift stores and designers when I can
How does your day to day life factor into your wardrobe choices?
Since I work a lot, I have to keep comfort in mind, though my eccentric self would love to parade in 6-inch heels all day, that's not always the most practical.
What is your greatest fashion pet peeve?
Dressing for other people, instead of wearing what makes you happy
Have you ever tried your hand at design or sewing?
My mother tried to teach me growing up, but I resisted. I'm kicking myself cause now I dream up outfits and wish I could create them myself.
Are there any designers that you like to wear or whose clothing stands out with you?
I honestly don't own a lot of designer clothing, though I love Betsy Johnson, Marc Jacobs, Cynthia Rowley and Tracey Reese. All decadently feminine designers
Who are your style icons?
People who dress how they feel without care about what's trendy or appropriate; Diana Vreeland, Anna Wintour ,Grace Jones, Miss Piggy, Richard Simmons.
Your five must-haves as a girl:
You can stay in touch with this BGKI on her Blog, Twitter or Facebook

Since February is the month of love, I thought I would mention a book titled Married Well and Often: Marriages of the Northern Neck of Virginia 1649-1800 by Robert K Headley, Jr. I was doing some research for one of my ancestors and found the title on the shelf. It was too catchy to pass up. I found some references to surnames I had been looking for.

Did your ancestors come from Ireland? Do you want to see if you can find out where in Ireland he or she came from? Do you want to know what their lives were like in Ireland? Or maybe, you are just stuck? If you are just starting out, find as much as you can about your ancestor using United States records/place of arrival records. Finding a clue that will give you at least a country of origin in Ireland is a must.
Are you looking for Spanish ancestors? The Midwest Genealogy Center and the Mid-Continent Public Library has just what you are looking for, including books in Spanish!
Recently, I received a genealogy research request that brought me to a lesser-known part of the Midwest Genealogy Center's extensive genealogy collection. The customer's request was for information regarding an ancestor who had been investigated by the Pinkerton National Detective Agency.

Ruler Tape with 2 Scales - QTY:1 - 3KHL1
Do you find conversion of Metric to English dimensions confusing or just an unnecessary hassle? Put this nifty "stick-on" ruler on your workbench and your conversion will be as easy as using a tape measure. It repeats every 12 inches so you will never be far from the "zero" mark. Use it on desks, benches, jigs, fixtures, clipboards, and more. Each adhesive-backed roll is 500 inches long and 1 inch wide so you`ll have plenty of tape to go around. Imported.

Three federal laws identify the rights and responsibilities of people who use guide dogs. These three laws, the Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA), the Fair Housing Act (FHA), and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), work to defeat discrimination by guaranteeing access and accommodation rights to people with disabilities who use service animals.
Despite the fact that Seeing Eye dogs have improved the quality of life for people who are blind since 1929, federal legislation concerning access rights of persons with disabilities was virtually nonexistent until the mid-1980s. In its absence, each state created its own law(s) to address the rights and responsibilities of people with guide dogs.
To date, all states and the District of Columbia have laws to protect access rights. However, the extent of coverage varies considerably from state to state and sometimes conflicts with federal laws. Generally, federal laws preempt state laws, but the ADA yields to state laws that provide better access.

The eastbound lanes of Interstate 24, where the highway merges with Interstate 40, has reopened Tuesday afternoon after a tractor trailer overturned earlier in the day. The crash was reported just east of downtown shortly before 11 a.m.Police on the scene told Nashville's News 2 the truck was traveling east on I-40 and lost control around the curve.The truck slid across the eastbound lanes of both I-40 and I-24 and struck a guardrail.The impact caused the diesel fuel tank to split open, spilling several gallons of fuel onto the median.According to officials, the semi-truck's front tire got caught on the guardrail keeping it from continuing on into westbound lanes of travel.The driver was out of the truck when crews arrived on the scene and was uninjured.Interstate 24 East was shutdown at Shelby Avenue while crews worked the scene.
Traffic on Interstate 40 East leaving downtown was also slow due to the accident.
The roadway reopened around 3 p.m.

I don't know where people find the time, but I'm sure glad they do. A man with superior exterior illumination skills in Reno, Nevada has lit up his house like a gosh darn Christmas tree, and so much more. There's a singing elf, dancing piano keys, and a flying Santa. Oh, and it's all coordinated to the Trans Siberian Orchestra's song "Queen of the Winter Night." This house holiday light show is just as good, if not better than the Halloween one back in October. Trust.
Carlo Schmitt, the mad genius behind the extremely over-the-top decorations, says he's been obsessed with Christmas lights since he was a kid. So kids, if you're reading this and like playing with lights on a string, you too can one day have the most kick-ass house in the neighborhood, if not the nation.
Visitors are encouraged to pull up to the house in their cars, tune their radio to 97.7, and listen and watch as the house comes to life with music, lights, and movement. It's truly incredible. It makes those blanket lights you throw over your front bushes seem super lame, not to mention that half-lit wreath you've got hanging on the front door. Loser.
I have no idea how the neighbors feel about the Schmitt residence (are they all seizing constantly?), but I'm hoping they're supportive and enthusiastic. I feel like you can't be mad at someone who's made something so gosh darn awesome. Then again, you never know.
To top it all off, it seems that the Schmitts are raising money for charity by asking onlookers for a simple and small donation to Multiple Sclerosis research. What a great cause, great house, and great family.
Watch the video -- and keep an eye out for the dancing candy cane part -- it's my favorite.
What do you think of the house? Do your neighbors do anything like this?

thats awesome!
At the risk of starting a fight and beating a drum very loudly, people ask why "Holiday" is so "offensive" at Christmastime. This article - no, this TITLE - is the perfect example of why.
"Holiday House Light Show..."
It is not a "Holiday" light show. It is a CHRISTMAS light show. Elsewhere on this site this week, we've had articles mentioning Hanukkah and Kwanzaa. Which are both fine. No problems. Happy both. But why can't this be called a "Christmas" light show? I see Santa and the reindeer. I see several elves, angels, candy canes... ALL symbols of only one of the holidays that take place this season, but we must call it "holiday" so as not to "offend" because, why? Maybe the owners of the house don't celebrate Christmas and we don't want to hurt their feelings???
THIS is why the "merry christmasers" get ticked off at the "happy holidays" stuff. Because it's only that one holiday that is eliminated and PC'd up.
Rant over.
Meanwhile... excellent light show. I would LOVE This next door to me ('course I live in the country, so there's plenty of spece to do this), since this piece of music is one of those on "terminal repeat" in our house. We love TSO and "The Lost Christmas Eve". And good for this family for raising money for MS. What a wonderful way to celebrate and give back!
A house in our neighborhood did something like this and it was really cool to watch!
How fun!

The pi Mount: it would be irrational not to love this iPhone accessory

Freddie Mac has started working on a new, "multisite" multifamily loan product, fresh on the heels of the federal REO-to-Rental program rollout.
Since the program is still in its early stages—and subject to conservator approval—many details haven't been fleshed out. But the product would be the first scattered-site commercial mortgage product that Freddie Mac has ever offered—and would be a boon to a still struggling for-sale market.
"We are working very hard on trying to develop a multifamily mortgage product to serve the needs of large investors in single-family properties," says David Brickman, senior vice president of multifamily at McLean, Va.–based Freddie Mac. "It would facilitate greater investment in the single-family market and help provide stabilization."
Such a product would be a game changer. Investor interest in the REO-to-Rental program has been high ever since it was announced Feb. 1 by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). But one of the main hurdles for investors is that buying houses in bulk is mainly an all-cash business. To have a loan program on the market tailored to a multisite execution would open up the investor pool, clearing the market of more houses more quickly.
The new loan program would likely be a shorter-term, lower-leverage, floating-rate execution, and only available for deals of $100 million or more, according to an investor already active in this space who requested anonymity. The multisite mortgage would likely target large, cross-collateralized pools owned and managed by a single institution.
Even before the FHFA's announcement, some investors had been busy scooping up scores of unsold homes and repositioning them as rentals. Last month, Los Angeles–based private equity firm Oaktree Capital Management teamed up with Santa Ana, Calif.–based property manager Carrington Holding Co. in a $450 million joint venture to buy distressed single-family homes and turn them into rentals. Carrington, incidentally, manages more than 3,000 single-family rental homes for Fannie Mae's Deed-for-Lease and Tenant-in-Place programs.
Also in January, Oakland, Calif.–based Waypoint Real Estate Group, which specializes in buying distressed for-sale assets, received an investment from Menlo Park, Calif.–based GI Partners to buy more than $250 million in for-sale rental homes.
Freddie Mac declined to provide details, and a Fannie Mae spokesperson said, "It's too early to speculate" on what kind of financing might be available for an REO-to-Rental deal. So, much remains to be seen. Will it be confined to assets being sold by the three government agencies, or will it be available for any single-family portfolio sold by any institution? Will the program be limited to just REO assets, or can it be applied to any bulk single-family-to-rental execution?
And ultimately, will the program see the light of day? One condition of the GSEs' conservatorship is a prohibition against the creation of any new programs—even when it's in the public's interest to do so. A couple of years ago, Freddie Mac wanted to start a manufactured-housing loan program, and a small-loan program, but were told not to by the FHFA, though such programs would be "mission-rich."
Stay tuned.

Grigor Dimitrov lived up to his "Baby Fed" moniker Tuesday in where else but Roger Federer's town of Basel. Playing a first round match against Viktor Troicki at the Swiss Indoors, the talented Bulgarian came up with an ultra creative way to hit a drop shot: Behind the back, half volley, drop shot winner!
Commentator Robbie Koenig had the call. "That's got to be the shot of year! Without a doubt. This is absolutely outrageous," he said. "Straight to the casino, off you go!"
Dimitrov won the match 63, 62. He plays Juliean Benneteau later today.

Island's finance minister urges international donors not to miss historic chance 'to design another Haiti'
Haitis finance minister has urged international donors not just to help his country rebuild after its devastating earthquake, but to lift it out of misery for good.We want to take this opportunity to design another Haiti, Ronald Boudin told Emerging Markets in an exclusive interview in Cancún.The IDB agreed this weekend to erase $479 million of Haitian debt and to provide an extra $200 million in annual grants to the country as part of its recapitalization deal.Now the ball is in the court of the international donor community, which meets on March 31 at the United Nations in New York to decide how much to donate and how. The current proposal is for Haiti which was the western hemispheres poorest country even before the earthquake to receive $3.8 billion in aid for the 18 next months, and a total for the next decade of $11.5 billion.Ciro de Falco, the head of the IDBs Special Task Force for Haiti, which is coordinating the international aid effort, said: Were focusing on $3.8 billion, and if we get $3.8 billion in New York that will be a great success. Boudin said of the proposed amounts: Thats the minimum. The message for the international community is to help Haiti rebuild the country, to manifest their solidarity [...] and not to forget the urgent needs now before they pledge.We have to restart the schools, we have to provide seeds and fertilizers for the farmers so that they can have a good season, he said.Boudin said a major purpose of aid would be to help Haiti decentralize. Having government so centered on the capital Port-au-Prince meant that when the quake struck, the country was paralyzed.De Falco said there is little dispute over the initial $3.8 billion, and that discussions will more likely centre on whether Haiti has the capacity effectively to distribute this much money in such a short period of time.He said international organizations could take a cue from the American public, as half of the households in the US had donated money to Haiti in some form.A senior IMF official said the Haitian government is facing a budget gap of between $250 million and $350 million this year, and that donor countries should consider contributing towards this.IDB President Luis Alberto Moreno said: We will use all the tools we have to help President Rene Preval and his government so that they leave this episode behind as soon as possible. He said it was unacceptable that Haitians could only expect to live to 52 on average, and that 8 out of 10 of them lived on less than $2 a day. Now it was time to change the country for good.Ive looked into eyes of the children of Port-au-Prince, he said. Ive seen the trust theyve deposited in us and their hope that this time we wont leave them alone.

Archmage Pants, I love you. I love your columns, and all the awesomeness you write about. I love your pants, whether or not they exist. And I hate your warlocks. All of them.
But why, oh why Lord Pants, have you forgotten us? I desperately hoped that you would return with another column on the state of the mage nation- specifically, frost and fire. I value your opinion over all others, and I deeply love my frost mage. I need you to make sure that he is as powerful as can be. I wish to shatter my enemies into even tinier shards of frozen flesh burning with an even colder frostfire. And only you can help me do that. Help me, Archmage Pants. You're my only hope.
May all your nukes fly true, and may all your warlocks be dead save one, so you will always have one to kill.


text: The other day I posted on the lame ass booze shotgun. Whereas that one only held one ounce of booze, the Russian Roulette Beer Bong holds a whopping two liters. From the looks of the picture, you spin the wheel of bottles around and then yank one out. Either you get pummeled with 2 liters of whatever (bukkake), or you get a pass. One would think any meathead frat douche could easily put back 2 liters of beer, but what about whiskey? Not made by Fisher-Price, this seems sort of like a beginners beer bong because the odds are for you not drinking. Sounds counter productive. Could be good for teens who sometimes need to be eased into hard partying. Rage on.

I went to where my father's urn sits for the first time; I wasn't able to go a month ago when my family brought him to Los Angeles - and I saw his view from on top of the hill, a view that looked out at a beautiful city he had never fully explored.
And then I thought. He left it for me to explore. And he's watching over me.

Woah just went back to bed and had an awful dream
In my dream I was at my aunts but then somehow I was so distraught I think or somethin over all of this Boston shit and so I really just wanted to get drunk but like it wasnt a conscious thought. Anyway next part of the dream I wake up at my aunts but I had a dream in my dream that I had woken up in some random lady's apt in Allston where she had taken me in after I was too drunk or something and got hurt and couldn't go home. I was really sad because I could not remember a single fucking thing from that night and was ashamed at how drunk I got and then my aunt came in my room and was doing yoga and we were talkin and she was like are you kidding you don't remember last night? Well you called me really frantic and kept asking me to come get you and help you in Allston because you had fallen on your head but I couldn't make it there. You were in a Czech part of town. And then it made sense to me bc the lady I woke up to had a Czech accent. But it didnt make any sense to me at the same time bc the mbta was shut down for the boston thig so i didnt understand how i had gotten to allston and BY MYSELF??i know i had also wanted to rant and yell at this one kid i know who is a perv and lives there but never made it to his place before the lady found me and took me in or whatever. Then I felt really sad about the whole not remembering thing and that I was alone during this. Then my aunt was having friends over and I went out of my room for some reason but my aunt all the suddenly had a ferret and it started to follow me as a left the room but it was freaking me out and grew into this fucking creepy monkey thing and I don't like monkeys so I ran to my room and slammed the door. Then my friend Scott showed up for some reason in my room and I cried and told him why I was upset then all the sudden I walked into this random kid's (who I have only met twice) apartment and he was clearly having a family an close friend gathering with food for the whole Boston scare but I walked in anyway barefoot and in a black tee and some like tribal print pajama pants with my hair down and looking really sad and lost and I just went and sat on a couch alone and sighed and that's all I remember also my aunt was yelling at me when I was running away from the ferret and she was like see I hate this animal inferiority complex!! An I was like idgaf this shits creepy and also I was just trying so desperately to figure out what I had done that night and would not stop trying. And I had videos on my phone of filming kids back in my old HS practicing hip hop routines in a dance room?? But it was freaky to me bc their reflections in the dance room mirror wall did not match what they were doing irl and woah wtf that dream was weird and I had a dream within that dream and I think even a dream within THAT dream. That's a first ahh

One of the hallmarks of successful urban spaces all over the world is the use of movable chairs. William Whyte's studies in The Social Life of Small Urban Spaces found that people create ownership of public space by being able to control where and how they sit. This theory was recently tested in Times Square, where the moveable chairs in the new pedestrian plaza have proven to be enormously popular.
But will the same application work in Italy? That's what Friends of the High Line Co-Founder Robert Hammond will soon find out.
The High Line is increasingly becoming a place of inspiration for art-making. One of the most recent works comes from Peter Colquoun, whose landscapes of the High Line are on view right now at DietzSpace.
If you have kids, you know creativity, active playing, and free thinking are all crucial elements for developing minds. Imagination Playground, built on this idea, will be on the High Line this Saturday. It's a great chance for kids to play in a whole new way!
Toning up has never been this easy or fun!
Starting tomorrow morning, Friends of the High Line will be offering two FREE fitness and movement classes on the High Line.
We are one step closer toward saving the High Line at the West Side Rail Yards.

Find the perfect combo with our guide to choosing great baby middle names
Let's face it: Finding one great name for your baby can be a huge challenge. (It's got to be unique! But not too weird! And classic! But not fuddy-duddy!) Finding two? Forget it. But the humble middle name, so often relegated to the mere initial status, is taking on a more high profile role these days, and it deserves your attention.
"Middle names really complete the name package," says Amanda Elizabeth Barden, author of Baby Names MadeEasy. "Full names appear on important documents like graduation certificates, and when people enter their professional lives, they often start using a middle name or initial." (Not that Barden uses hers!) A middle name will also help your child distinguish himself from someone else with the same name (and unless you're naming your kid something like Pilot Inspektor, it can happen, especially in the Internet age), and allow you to buy adorable monogrammed baby gear. You'll even prevent your kid from a lifetime of hearing the, "You don't have a middle name?!" question, Barden says.
So while you can relax a little - there are no rules when it comes to picking a middle name - follow these tips to find the perfect middle moniker for your babe.

Schnucks Makes Gift Giving Easier
Holiday Gift Cards are "One Size Fits All" Gifts for All Ages
ST. LOUIS -- This holiday season, Schnucks customers can fill family members' stockings with video/DVD rentals, home décor products, gift baskets - and even a holiday dinner with all the trimmings! Thanks to the new Schnucks Gift Card, holiday shopping just got easier and a lot more fun!
Schnucks Gift Cards are now available for purchase at checkout registers. The cards are non-denominational and can be assigned any amount over $1 up to $250 per card. Cards are activated at the register, and the value assigned to the card will be added to the customer's grocery total.
The cards come in two holiday styles and are designed to appeal to all ages. Once assigned a dollar value, the card can be used to purchase any item in the store. "It's a fast and convenient way to ensure that gift recipients get what they really want and need during the holidays and throughout the year," said Craig D. Schnuck, chairman and chief executive officer of Schnuck Markets, Inc.
Gift cards are easy to use. When a card user makes a purchase with the card, the amount of purchase is electronically deducted from the card's assigned value. Customers can use them again and again until the total value of the card has been spent. They can also check the card's remaining balance by going to the Schnucks web site, www.schnucks.com or by calling the toll free number on the back of the card.
Gift cards make great "thank you" gifts for mail carriers, babysitters, teachers, college students and others on the holiday shopping list.
