1. Executive News
Regional Council meeting for African members of the WAC Council, in Dakar, Senegal
People who attended the WAC regional meeting came from Benin, Cameroon, Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa and Uganda. Four persons (3 Nigerians and 1 Ugandan) paid to become members of WAC. Others were informed about sponsored membership if they choose to opt for it and were also informed that they could pay membership fee through their regional representatives who would ensure that the payments get to WAC.
The meeting discussed African participation in WAC Congresses and events. The main concern of people present was the ability of African people to attend WAC conferences. They were informed that almost all Africans who applied for funding to attend WAC-6 received support. There were also questions on applying for funds to attend conferences other than those of WAC. Information was provided to the effect that there is a sub-committee responsible for such applications, and that such funding is advertised on the website. The meeting was also told that applications should not be sent directly to the President, as this does not follow WAC procedure. It was also suggested that students in African universities should be encouraged to participate in WAC activities.
A corner was secured for WAC where the banner with WAC logo was displayed and WAC brochures placed on a table. WAC African Council representatives who were present were Jonathan Aleru, Didier Ndah and Ndukuyakhe Ndlovu, as well as Dr Obare Bagodo, the former junior representative for West Africa.

The WAC Global Libraries Program is actively working to develop the archaeological literary collections of economically-disadvantaged institutions--but we can use your help.
Four films of the Personal-Histories Project, founded by Dr. Pamela Jane Smith, to record archaeological memories, are now being streamed online by Cambridge University and are instantly available all over the world! This project is unfunded at the films are produced by volunteers from the Personal-histories Unit, a collective of UK undergraduates and postgraduates from Cambridge University, Goldsmiths in London, Bristol University's Media and Archaeology MA, the London Institute of Archaeology's Ph.D programme and from Anglia Ruskin University. The films are good fun and are used as a research archive and as teaching aids at many universities worldwide now.
Several members of the WAC standing Committee on Ethics will be getting together in Bogota, Colombia at the very end of January 2011, hosted by committee co-chair, Alex Herrera. This opportunity arose when three committee members traveling to Bogota to participate in a Wenner-Gren workshop were able to extend their stays. The agenda for the get-together includes discussion of the role and goals of the Committee on Ethics, plans for WAC7 and intervening InterCongresses, and follow up on initiatives proposed to or by the committee, including the development of a collection of case studies illustrating ethical issues and dilemmas related to archaeological practice in various global and local contexts.
In late Oct-Nov, 2010 we adapted our pictograph dating technique to petroglyphs (see earlier issues of WAC Newsletter or http://http-server.carleton.ca/~bgordon/Journal/Web_Journal.htm). We recovered organic dating material, hammerstone chips and rock 'flour" (from pocking and grinding) in thin soil slices under the art on Gabriola Island, British Columbia, and Coso National Monument, China Lake Naval Air Weapons Range, California. We assume chips and flour fell to the artist's feet, making the art datable. After removing surface debris and disturbed strata, we rough-filtered rootlets, pebbles and larger hammerstone chips in a kitchen deep fryer basket, letting smaller hammerstone chips and flour pass through to a nested fine kitchen sieve. Flour and fine sediment pass the sieve to a water-filled basin where silt and clay are repeatedly decanted off. If damp soil or clay balls clog the sieve, a nested plastic or metal bowl partly filled with water allows soil, sand and flour to pass with stirring. The residual flour and fine sediment is separated by fine wet sieving or particle settling in a 4-5 ft. long vertical PBS pipe tapered to a test tube. Hammerstone chips differ from natural and cultural flakes in being chunky, of different material and whitish from shock lines, while flour particles are even whiter and flat. Both exemplify the artist's floor, especially if hammerstone chips are flour-coated. AMS-datable organic fragments in the sieve are tweezered into labeled aluminum foil pouches.
Cornelius Holtorf (Linnaeus University, Kalmar, Sweden) was the key-note speaker at the 40th Reuvensdagen, the annual National Archaeology Conference in the Netherlands, held at Rotterdam, 11-12 November 2010. His lecture, entitled "Search the past - find the present: The value of archaeology for present-day society" (online version available at http://www.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:360654/FULLTEXT01), was presented to an audience of some 600 participants.
In advance of future publications on related issues he welcomes any kind of comments (send to cornelius.holtorf(a)lnu.se).
3. New publications by WAC members
Come visit us at the Society for American Archaeology Meeting in Sacramento in April and at the WAC Intercongress in Indiana this summer! We look forward to seeing you…
Coming soon (and available for preorder!):
This is the first volume to introduce the data, theory and methodology of contemporary archaeological work in Japan and other parts of East Asia archaeology in English to western audiences. It also introduces a new theoretical concept to archaeologists interested in the relationship between ancient cultures—coexistence. Archaeologists traditionally examine the boundaries between different cultural groups in terms conflict and dominance rather than long-term, harmonious adaptive responses. Chapters in this book cover evidence from burials, faunal and botanical analysis, as well as traditional trade goods. It is of interest to archaeologists conducting research in East Asia or studying intercultural interaction anywhere around the globe.
Indigenous Peoples and Archaeology in Latin America
This book is the first to describe indigenous archaeology in Latin America for an English speaking audience. Eighteen chapters primarily by Latin American scholars describe relations between indigenous peoples and archaeology in the frame of national histories and examine the emergence of the native interest in their heritage. Relationships between archaeology and native communities are ambivalent: sometimes an escalating battleground, sometimes a promising site of intercultural encounters. The global trend of indigenous empowerment today has renewed interest in history, making it a tool of cultural meaning and political legitimacy. This book deals with the topic with a raw forthrightness not often demonstrated in writings about archaeology and indigenous peoples. Rather than being 'politically correct,' it attempts to transform rather than simply describe.

Handbook of Postcolonial Archaeology
This essential handbook explores the relationship between the postcolonial critique and the field of archaeology, a discipline that developed historically in conjunction with European colonialism and imperialism. In aiding the movement to decolonize the profession, the contributors to this volume—themselves from six continents and many representing indigenous and minority communities and disadvantaged countries—suggest strategies to strip archaeological theory and practice of its colonial heritage and create a discipline sensitive to its inherent inequalities. Summary articles review the emergence of the discipline of archaeology in conjunction with colonialism, critique the colonial legacy evident in continuing archaeological practice around the world, identify current trends, and chart future directions in postcolonial archaeological research. Contributors provide a synthesis of research, thought, and practice on their topic. The articles embrace multiple voices and case study approaches, and have consciously aimed to recognize the utility of comparative work and interdisciplinary approaches to understanding the past. This is a benchmark volume for the study of the contemporary politics, practice, and ethics of archaeology.

In November 1999, at the inaugural meeting of the Europae Archaeologiae Consilium, a symposium was held on the Archaeological Heritage Management of Wetlands in Europe. In the discussion, delegates emphasized the urgent need to forge much closer links with nature conservation interests, and especially with the international Ramsar Convention on Wetlands. This volume brings the two aspects together through papers on concepts and legislation relating to archaeology and nature conservation in Wetlands, and with papers presenting regional reviews, case studies and related topics. The volume concludes with an overview and recommendations for future action, and a response by the EAC setting out a broad strategy for the heritage management of wetlands in Europe.

The second Europae Archaeologiae Consilium Symposium (March 2001, Strasbourg) was devoted to landscape management in recognition of the new European Landscape Convention (Council of Europe, 2000). Arising from the Symposium, this book highlights the important archaeological and historical depth of the European landscape sometimes overlooked by decision-makers in comparison to ecological and aesthetic aspects. It describes opportunities and obstacles that affect the landscape's sustainable management, and shows how heritage managers can support the Convention by helping to understand and promote landscape as a core element of Europe's common heritage. A key message is that archaeologists need to take account of the growing democratic interest in the landscape, and to work alongside other disciplines in pan-European landscape projects.

Some 40 per cent of Europe is farmed and 47 per cent forested. The future of the majority of Europe's archaeological sites therefore depends on rural land uses that lie outside the spatial planning and development control systems of its various nation states. This volume, produced by the European Association of Archaeologists (EAA) and Europae Archaeologiae Consilium (EAC) Joint Working Group on Farming, Forestry and Rural Land Management, examines the challenges posed by agriculture, forestry and other rural land uses in terms of the long-term conservation of Europe's archaeological sites and the management of its historic landscapes. Profusely illustrated and with contributions from no fewer than 13 different European countries, the volume will be essential reading for anyone concerned with contemporary heritage management, policy-making and legislation.

Mexico City, Pachuca and Real del Monte, Hidalgo, Mexico
Sponsored by the National University of México (UNAM) through the Historical Archives of the Palace of Mines of the Faculty of Engineering, The Historical Archives and Museum of Mining (AHMM, A.C.),and with the support of the Development of Archives and Libraries of Mexico (ADABI de México), and The International Committee for the Conservation of the Industrial Heritage Mexico (TICCIH México).
The International Symposium of Mining Cultural Heritage and Earth Sciences: Libraries, Archives and Museums (Erbe Symposium) was held for the first time in Freiberg, Germany in 1993 upon the initiative of Doctor Peter Schmidt, who was working at the antique backlist of the Freiberg Mines Academy library, and Doctor Lieselotte Jontes, Director of the Library of the Technological University of Leoben, Austria. Other disciplines have been added throughout ten symposia held in Europe and America, such as archaeology and anthropology, in order to understand the cultural impact of mining in places where diverse minerals and metals were exploited.
México is one of the main silver producers in the world. The wealth generated by the exploitation of this metal was one of the main resources of the Spanish Crown during the Viceroyalty of New Spain. The Real del Monte and Pachuca mining district is one of the oldest in México and has a rich history. It was characterized by its great production of silver metals and by the social movements led by miners, as well as for introducing and applying major technological advances throughout history. During the 1800's this district experienced the introduction of steam pumps, first acquired at Cornwall, England, and subsequently, during the 1880's, at Freiberg and Chemnitz, Germany. By the end of the 1800's and beginning of the 1900's, electricity and the cyanide ore treatment process were first used in the mines of the mining district.
The Erbe Symposium will go from Freiberg to México City, where the first mining academy of America was established, then to Pachuca, site of the Historical Archives and Museum of Mining, these archives posses the largest mining archives in México (1616-2002); and then to Real del Monte, where we can find the legacy of the mining work of the region in mining museums and traditions.
Symposium Topics:
Summaries shall be sent by postal mail to: Acervo Histórico del Palacio de Minería, Tacuba 5, planta baja. Centro Histórico, C.P. 06000 México, D.F., MEXICO. Telephone numbers: ++ 52 / 55 / 56 23 29 92 and 56 23 29 93

Moscow Architectural Preservation Society calls on Medvedev to halt legal changes
Even more challenging than the task of persuading the Church Commissioners to reconsider their position is the campaign, also supported by prominent Fellows (including Adam Wilkinson, Director of Edinburgh World Heritage), to persuade Russia's President, Dmitry Medvedev, to think again over proposed amendments to Federal Law No. 163864-5. Those amendments, says the Moscow Architectural Preservation Society, which is leading the campaign, will legitimise the practice of the 'reconstruction' of historic monuments, involving the demolition of the original and its replacement by a modern 'replica'.
In a letter to the President, the signatories say that rebuilding and redevelopment in the name of reconstruction has already led to the loss of more than 2,000 historic buildings in Moscow, including 200 listed architectural monuments, and that many hundreds more have been lost in Russian cities beyond the capital. The letter expresses particular concern for St Petersburg's historic cityscape, so well preserved throughout the Soviet period, and reminds the President that Russia was once renowned for its restoration schools, 'famous for meticulous work on the palaces around Leningrad after the Second World War, which created a new generation of skilled craftsmen and restorers'.
The letter reminds the President that Russia has ratified the 1972 UNESCO Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage which, based on the Venice Charter of 1964, does not allow reconstruction, and it requests the President to veto the proposed amendments laid out in white paper No.163864-5.

Cultural Heritage Resources of the New Oyo Empire, Southwestern Nigeria: Prospects for Sustainability
In this project I employed a multidisciplinary approach involving ethnographic and reconnaissance surveys to investigate, identify, and classify potential New Oyo empire sites as cultural heritage resources. The New Oyo empire was located in southwestern Nigeria about 130 km south of the Old Oyo, and 55 km north of Ibadan. Following the decline of the Old Oyo empire in 1837 the New Oyo developed and shared similarities with facets of the Old Oyo. Yet, the New Oyo empire was distinct from its predecessor as a result of environmental changes, relocation, and shifts in urbanization. My work here reveals that a number of the cultural heritage resources of Yoruba-speaking people and the New Oyo empire have not been investigated or otherwise suffer neglect. This study therefore identifies and classifies a number of cultural heritage resources of the New Oyo with a desire of showcasing such sites as important heritage resources within Nigeria. These cultural heritage resources can play important roles in our current engagement with the history of Nigeria as impacted by the trans-Atlantic slave trade over several centuries.
African and Africanist Archaeologists Voice Their Support of Anthropology at Howard University
President Sidney A. Ribeau is in the middle of deliberations regarding the future of anthropology at Howard University. After announcing on September 23, 2010 that he is considering closing the undergraduate majors in anthropology and African studies, among other majors and programs, he set aside a period of discussion and requested responses and suggestions from students and faculty. We are just coming out of this period and are waiting for the announcement of his final decision. We expect to hear news in January 2011.
The last few months on campus have been a whirlwind of town hall meetings, visits by deans and the Provost to departments, and constructive discussions within the Howard community. During this process and in response to the President's announcement, the anthropology faculty submitted a document that highlighted the strengths of our program and the benefits we bring to Howard University in terms of research, funding, and service. As part of our contributions, we highlighted the projects and collections within our department that focus on the archaeology and bioarchaeology of Africa and the African Diaspora. Our program is well known due to the New York African Burial Ground Project. We also house the W. Montague Cobb Human Skeletal Collection. In addition, faculty direct projects such as the Buffalo Soldiers Archaeological Project, the Walter C. Pierce Park African American Burial Ground Project, and the Nicodemus, Kansas, Birth of an African American Town Archaeology Project. The archaeological projects in Africa include the James Island, Gambian Slave-Trading Site Project and work done on trade in the 19th century between the British and the Xhosa in the Eastern Cape of South Africa.
Number of Blacks Earning Doctorates Reached an All-time High in 2009
According to the National Science Foundation, in 2009 there were 2,221 African Americans who earned doctoral degrees from U.S. universities. This was the highest number of doctorates awarded to blacks in any single year. African-American doctoral awards increased by a healthy 10.1 percent from 2008 to 2009. Since 2005, black doctoral awards are up by 23.5 percent.
African Americans won 4.5 percent of all doctorates awarded in the United States last year. If we exclude foreign students, we find that African Americans made up 6.9 percent of all U.S. citizens or permanent U.S. residents who earned doctorates.
Blacks earned 947 Ph.D.s in scientific fields, up from 825 in 2008, an increase of nearly 15 percent. Another 1,274 African Americans earned doctorates in non-scientific fields. Many of these doctorates were in the field of education.
On Eve of the International Year for People of African Descent, UN Secretary-General Calls for Final End to Racism
As the United Nations system gears up to celebrate 2011 as the International Year for People of African Descent, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon delivered an impassioned plea today to the world community to eradicate racism once and for all.
"The international community cannot accept that whole communities are marginalized because of the colour of their skin," he told an event at UN Headquarters in New York to launch the Year. "People of African descent are among those most affected by racism. Too often, they face denial of basic rights such as access to quality health services and education. Such fundamental wrongs have a long and terrible history.
"The international community has affirmed that the transatlantic slave trade was an appalling tragedy not only because of its barbarism but also because of its magnitude, organized nature and negation of the essential humanity of the victims."
"Even today, Africans and people of African descent continue to suffer the consequences of these acts," he added, calling for their full integration into social, economic and political life and at all levels of decision-making.
The General Assembly proclaimed the Year in December 2009 in a resolution citing the need to strengthen national actions and regional and international cooperation to ensure that people of African descent fully enjoy economic, cultural, social, civil and political rights, to advance their integration into all political, economic, social and cultural aspects of society, and to promote a greater knowledge of and respect for their diverse heritage and culture.
"As the Universal Declaration of Human Rights affirms, 'all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights,'" Mr. Ban said. "If we are to make those words real, then we must eradicate racism once and for all. The success of the International Year requires concerted efforts across the United Nations system and at the regional and national levels, with the widest possible engagement and participation."
Also addressing the event was the Assistant Secretary-General for Human Rights, Ivan Simonovic, who said the International Year offers a unique opportunity to redouble efforts to fight racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance that affect Afro-descendents in all parts of the world.
Philadelphia Site Honoring Washington and his Slaves Ready for Dedication
After more than eight years of street demonstrations, arguments, haggling, and missed deadlines; after unprecedented public debate about the impact of slavery on life in Philadelphia and the United States and on the life and moral character of George Washington; after thousands of news articles, feature stories, and TV and radio programs, the site marking the intertwined lives of presidents and slaves is set to open to the public with a simple ribbon-cutting at noon Wednesday.
It may be snowing or raining. It may be bitterly cold. The public may be distracted by the holidays. President Obama will not be there on Independence Mall. No matter.
"It's either the end of the beginning or the beginning of the end," said Randall Miller, a professor of American history at St. Joseph's University who has been involved for the whole length of the winding, bumpy road leading to the doorway of the President's House.
"Finally, the public will get to weigh in," he said, on whether the memorial has found the right balance in evoking two presidents and commemorating nine slaves.Clay Armbrister, Mayor Nutter's chief of staff, called the site virtually iconic at birth.
Not only does it define the small piece of ground at Sixth and Market Streets where Presidents Washington and John Adams lived, but it focuses on the enslaved Africans held by Washington at the house, which was largely demolished in 1832. Behind the site, a few feet from the Liberty Bell Center's entrance, an enclosure of glass, wood, and steel commemorates the nine.
"The installation in and of itself will do what educational exhibitions are meant to do -- provoke thought and debate -- and I think there will be a lot of thought and debate," Armbrister said. Cynthia MacLeod, superintendent of Independence National Historical Park, acknowledged that mid-December was not the best time to open, but "to have it finished and not bring some attention to that would be unfortunate," she said.
"The exhibit really brings to the fore this dichotomy in our country of freedom and slavery," MacLeod said. "The Declaration of Independence at that time did not mean everyone. It took the Civil War to abolish slavery, and the civil-rights movement of the 1960s to make civil rights more of a reality in addition to freedom."

Conference Report:13th Congress of the PanAfrican Archaeological Association for Prehistory and Related Studies (PAA) & 20th Meeting of the Society of Africanist Archaeologists (Safa), November 1-7, 2010, Dakar, Senegal
African archaeology has moved from being considered a "trivial pursuit of western antiquarians" by many scholars to a discipline that is now "truly African", challenging all preconceptions that the continent had no history, renowned archaeologist Prof Merrick Posnansky said in his keynote address to the first joint meeting of Africa's major archaeological associations in Dakar. As he said, "These are not the high-powered thematic meetings of specialised groups, but the assembly of scholars who are joined by an interest in Africa's past." Perhaps his comments were inspired by the resolutions expressed in the first circular, where the organisers hoped "that this 13th Congress will be a unique moment to recast and consolidate the role and place of the PanAfrican Congress in the definition of a new humanism which will have as its ethos the preservation of the heritage of cultural diversity". The conference sought to highlight the contribution of archaeology and its related disciplines to the development and elucidation of Africa's past; in light of this aim, it was a success. The Dakar meeting of Pan African Archaelogical Association (Panaf) and Society for African Archaeologists (SAfA) was the first joint meeting since the two bodies were formed in 1947 and 1971, respectively, and they have agreed to hold another joint meeting in Johannesburg in 2014. Around 250 to 300 people attended the conference, in line with previous events, but the next venue promises an even larger future event in the continent's archaeological powerhouse.
The conference, for the most part, ran smoothly. A total of 55 formal sessions and two poster displays were held over two and a half days making it very difficult for one to attend everything that might have been of interest. The organisers compensated for this by having six of the venues in close proximity allowing delegates to hop from one paper of interest to another. It would have been better, however, had the conference been allowed a full third day to reduce the crowding on the schedule and allowing presenters a few more minutes for discussion of their papers. Unlike many other conferences, the PAA uses both English and French as its main languages. Our French colleagues are to be admired for making the effort to have bi-lingual presentations, often speaking in French but having their slideshows in English. Some lessons there for the 2014 meeting. Delegates heard of work being undertaken across the continent, from Western Sahara to Somaliland, as well as war-torn regions such Sierra Leone and Guinea. Presentations from Southern and Western Africa dominated many sessions perhaps reflecting the continued strength of research traditions there. As with past conferences Central Africa was almost unrepresented although James Denbow reported on work in the Republic of Congo from 1987-1993, highlighting how multinationals have ridden roughshod over environmental impact issues in the name of development. He charted his team's efforts to get ahead of tractors engaged by Shell BP for the planting of eucalypts along the Loango Coast, once home an ancient kingdom, which was chronicled by early travellers. Much of the focus at the conference was on the megaliths in the host country and the Diepkloof Rock Shelter in South Africa (150km north of Cape Town), which continues to push the Middle Stone Age sequence back from 300 000BC currently. Rock art enjoyed three sessions that highlighted the incredible diversity of not just the continent's art but the range of approaches employed by investigators. Particularly fascinating were those attempts by researchers to relate the art to living cultural traditions or historically known groups; not all were convincing but provided useful fodder for future analysis and interpretation. The Shashe-Limpopo Valley was the focus of several papers both examining the major site of Mapungubwe and varied sites in the area. Zimbabwe had three papers presented, all focusing on Matabeleland; two were on later Matabele history and one on management issues in the Matobo Hills World Heritage Site.

Romance, Musical
Janardan, born and brought up in the very middle class locality of Pitampura in Delhi, has a larger than life dream - of being a rockstar like Jim Morrison! But all he gets from his reluctant audience is ridicule and humiliation. He's at his wit's end, when he realizes that all musical stars, all artists in fact, have one thing in common. And that is tragedy. They all have tragic lives. They have all suffered painful heartbreaks to become what they are. Alas, there is no pain in Janardan's life - it is an oasis of peace. Unless he does something drastic, he will never become a rock star.

Information About Fifty Nifty United States
Fifty Nifty United States is a choral anthem originally composed by legendary musician Charles Raymond Offenberg.
The song lists all fifty states in the United States of America in alphabetical order and was originally written for the Perry Como show. The song is often sung by School Choirs throughout the United States during various events.
The song also attempts to provide a brief history of the United States, from "Fifty Nifty United States from 13 original colonies".
Currently, the song is used by students in learning subjects e. g. history, by memorizing all the States. It's also used to promote patriotism among American children. It's fun to sing along to, and easy to memorize because of its light and playful tune.

Across the country, there are family orchards dedicated to growing the finest apricots, cherries, plums, pecans. Their output is limited: They sell locally plus direct to consumers. Whether you're looking for fresh fruit baskets or dried fruit arrangements, we've tasted some of the best.
Fact: Fruits are not necessarily sweet. Tomatoes are fruit, avocados are fruit, hot chiles are fruits, cucumbers and squash are fruits. Because they aren't sweet, people think of them (and classify them in recipes and produce departments) as vegetables. But by botanical definition, fruits have their seeds on the inside; the only exception is the strawberry. With fruits, the seeds, or pits, are contained in the fruit's ovary sac. True vegetables have no "pit" or seed sac.
Fruits don't have to be exotic to seem like a special dessert. While a bowl of star fruit, mango and papaya may be a more unexpected treat, so is creating an architectural sculpture or a nest of everyday fruits like melon with a dice of papaya and pineapple.

Mike, Kilmore, Jose and Brandon will be doing separate video chats over the course of the HQ Anniversary party, and they'll be answering your questions straight from the internet. To cut down on the amount of confusion going on in the chat room while they're live, we will be pulling the best questions from this thread to ask them on-air.
This thread is for questions for Mike Einziger only.

If Incubus were a symphony, what would it be?
Hello Mikey!!! This is Katrina from the Philippines :)
We all miss you (just saying!!!).
Anyway... though as a band, you've had this practice (from what I've observed) that you set out a date/time/period of recording process, are there times in which while being on the road and though having a few breaks in between, as musicians, you suddenly have this musical "light bulb" moment which you think could be put as a future single? (I know it's a rhetorical question)...
In which chances/cases or when does it suddenly occur to you to have this musical idea--something that just popped out "fresh and new" that you wanna incorporate in your current music/shows/tour. Something that you think would be great on record, but would probably have to wait since you're on the road... What do you usually do about it, and how long would it have to wait?
Lastly, can you send love across the globe, through the ocean, the desert, the mountains, stars and the moon and through time? I'm sending good vibes through with love and light to your direction from halfway across the world!
Hey Mike!
I'm not checking out all the other questions but I'm sure my question has been asked before (I guess).
I've tried everything, I searched around the Internet for hours, asked a lot of people who know a lot about effects pedals, but no, no succes! Thereby, my question is, how in hell did you get the Phaser/flanger kinda sound in Sick Sad Little World (the tremolo picked part).
Would be awesome to know exactly what pedals those are (brand, type, even settings!). My mate and me have been trying for hours and we're going NUTS!
See you the 10th of july in Amsterdam! It'll be AWESOME!
Quick! You're stranded on an island. What are 4 things that you would bring with you?
Hi Mike my question is:
How do you feel when you meet fans from all over the world during the meet and greet?
if you could be in the presence of anyone famous from the past or even the present who would it be and why?
what gets your creative juices flowing? eating, skydiving, meditating etc?
Mikey. Where does all your awesomeness comes from?
1. How are you?
2. What is the single most important thing you learned in Harvard?
3. How's life as a "normal" student in Harvard? How do your everyday classes go and how do your classmates and professors treat someone famous like you? Just wondering, I'm a science teacher myself :)
4. Why are you so cute and adorable? Haha seriously. Please tweet again?
Love, Lei Europa from Manila xx
Do you know that next weeks March 14th is also The 8th Anniversary for incubus here in Thailand !!!! you guys touched thai's ground for the first time in 2004!!!
I want to know what is the differences feeling of the crowd between 2004 and in january 2012 this year? anyway we love you guys!!!
Oh, here's more:
- What do you remember the most about the Philippines? And what really happened during the 1st song of your show here in Manila in July 2011? That was so badass, btw (in a good way). Love it! xoxxxo
hi mikey my question is : when will you come back to the tweed tweed world?
you are the first among the band who use the "interweb" to connect with the fans.
As i recalled the endvacuum contest that you let the fans sent their home made video via youtube asking for the tickets to the event but now you're stop tweeting and not an official FB page. we really want to connect with you once again XD are you an anti-socialnetwork now?

It SHOULD go straight in. Both are Modular Ford motors. AFAIK, the only difference is bore size, and stroke. The 5.4 is notorious for having head gasket issues though. While its out, I'd give it a look.
Also might be worth checking plugs. Nothing worse than going to do the first plug change, and stripping one out in the head...in a VAN.
Externally they should be the same. I dont know that all the wiring will be the same, as I dont spend too much time under the hood of those. I smog them daily...but after a while, you start to just check for EGR and missing vacuum lines.
Just my .02, but mount wise, you should be good.
Also, back side of the motor, where the bellhousing bolts, should be the same. I believe that stays the same as well.Precision is only as important as the project...if you're building a rocket ship...1/64" would matter. If you're building a sledgehammer...an 1/8" probably wont.
The major differences are in the electronics and the programming may be different in the computer. Talk to one of the mustang racer guys at Sean Hylan motorsports. my spelling may be off on the name but do the google and you'll find them. Physically they are interchangable as far as I know.
Good Luck keep us apprised of you progress!

Tony Jefferson= bob sanders with out the durability issue! Would love for coyle to coach him up, he closes on you with blazing speed.
Snatch him in late 2nd early 3rd please
I've been warming up to jefferson lately as well... I've been watching a bit more of him and I am shuffling some things around on my mock drafts... don't know that he will be in it, but he'll be up on my board... I know that.
Beron Werner- JJ Watt
I like this comparison a lot. Armstrong was one of my favorite players and if Werner gives that production someone will be very happy.
A little off the radar and biased but...
RB Latavious Murray - UCF.
Reminds me of Eddie George, a big guy (6'3 I believe) with tremendous vision and good speed for his size. Hopefully someone gives him a chance in the 7th.
I know this sucks...but Eric fisher-Joe Staley. I have a soft spot for left tackles I guess and wouldn't be mad at all if we pick him because he has star written all over him.
I see alot of Greg Jennings in Robert Woods for some reason. Woods in the 2nd would be a good choice IMO.
Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.

It's hard to know whether critics of Gov. Jerry Brown's tax initiative getting the top spot on November's ballot thought they were making a safe bet... or throwing a Hail Mary... by asking a judge to intervene.
But either way, they found an unreceptive audience in Sacramento Superior Court Judge Michael Kenny on Monday morning. Kenny rejected a request to delay the numbering of this fall's eleven statewide propositions, a delay they hoped would prove that the governor's measure deserves to appear near the bottom of the fall ballot.
Although the actual lawsuit encompassed two issues -- the reporting of valid initiative signatures by local officials andthe Legislature's action to give Brown's tax top billing -- the courtroom battle only focused, interestingly, on what happened in two county elections offices.
Attorneys for wealthy civil rights attorney Molly Munger, whose team submitted tax initiative signatures for verification before Brown, wanted time to dig deeper into the actions of elections officials in Los Angeles and Alameda counties.
Munger attorney Bradley Phillips told the court that it's important to determine whether those local elections officials committed an "error, omission, or neglect of duty" in reporting the results of Brown's signature verification ahead of theirs, even though they submitted signatures for their initiative first.
But Judge Michael Kenny rejected that line of attack on what happened.
"Aren't you asking me to micromanage the (Los Angeles County) registrar's office?" Kenny asked in court.
That skepticism was a problem for Munger's team, as the judge suggestedlocal elections officials should have discretion in how they verify whether initiative signatures are valid, and not be required to follow a 'first in, first out' procedure for initiative verification that doesn't allow for deviations.
In a written response to a Twitter query, Los Angeles County registrar of voters Dean Logan wrote, "L.A. County followed standard protocol & local procedures for checking petitions."
By midday, the Munger team had already decided not to appeal Judge Kenny's ruling, thus clearing the way forSecretary of State Debra Bowen to immediately assign numbers to the eleven November measures.
The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association was given standing in the case and is considering its own appeal on the broader constitutional issue: can the Legislature and governor, in a bill designated as a state budget 'trailer' bill, re-order the ballot to give favor to constitutional amendments?
Brown's tax hike, unlike the income tax increase for K-12 schools written by Munger, would amend the state constitution because it also includes the language for a permanent realignment of state and local government services.
Jon Coupal, president of the Jarvis group, told reporters after the court hearing that moving ballot measures around using the rules contained in 2010's Proposition 25 is tantamount to "one-party, dictatorial rule in the state of California."
"The court rightly rejected this frivolous lawsuit," said Dan Newman, a spokesman for the governor's tax campaign. "Let's stop the games and do what's right to protect our schools, public safety, and balance the state's budget."

Interpretive Handbook
8157 :
Immunoglobulin A (IgA), Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
The gamma globulin band as seen in conventional serum protein electrophoresis consists of 5 immunoglobulins. In normal serum, about 15% is immunoglobulin A (IgA).
Monoclonal gammopathies of all types may lead to a spike in the gamma globulin zone seen on serum protein electrophoresis.
Monoclonal elevations of IgA characterize multiple myeloma.
Decreased immunoglobulin levels are found in patients with congenital deficiencies.
For your convenience, we recommend utilizing cascade testing for celiac disease. Cascade testing ensures that testing proceeds in an algorithmic fashion. The following cascades are available; select the appropriate one for your specific patient situation. Algorithms for the cascade tests are available in Special Instructions.
-CDCOM / Celiac Disease Comprehensive Cascade: complete testing including HLA DQ
-CDSP / Celiac Disease Serology Cascade: complete testing excluding HLA DQ
-CDGF / Celiac Disease Gluten-Free Cascade: for patients already adhering to a gluten-free diet
To order individual tests, see Celiac Disease Diagnostic Testing Algorithm in Special Instructions.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Detection or monitoring of monoclonal gammopathies and immune deficiencies
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Increased serum immunoglobulin concentrations occur due to polyclonal or oligoclonal immunoglobulin proliferation in hepatic disease (hepatitis, liver cirrhosis), connective tissue diseases, acute and chronic infections, as well as in the cord blood of neonates with intrauterine and perinatal infections.
Elevation of immunoglobulin A may occur in monoclonal gammopathies such as multiple myeloma, primary systemic amyloidosis, monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance, and related disorders.
Decreased levels are found in patients with primary or secondary immune deficiencies.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Electrophoresis is usually required to interpret an elevated immunoglobulin class as polyclonal versus monoclonal. Immunofixation is usually required to characterize a monoclonal protein.
If there is a discrete M-peak, the monoclonal protein can be monitored with quantitative immunoglobulins.
If immunoglobulin quantitation is used to monitor the size of a monoclonal protein which is contained in a background of polyclonal immunoglobulins, however, changes in the immunoglobulin quantitation may reflect changes in the background immunoglobulins, and serum protein electrophoresis should therefore be used to monitor the monoclonal protein.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
0-<5 months: 7-37 mg/dL
5-<9 months: 16-50 mg/dL
9-<15 months: 27-66 mg/dL
15-<24 months: 36-79 mg/dL
2-<4 years: 27-246 mg/dL
4-<7 years: 29-256 mg/dL
7-<10 years: 34-274 mg/dL
10-<13 years: 42-295 mg/dL
13-<16 years: 52-319 mg/dL

If you have an elderly in the family then that individual requires special care and attention from the different family members present. An elderly individual may not have all of the physical and mental facilities necessary to live a truly independent life, so it is crucial that proper attention and care is given to the individual.
Ideally, it should be up to the family to care for the elderly individual, but it cannot be denied that in today's world, it is essential that people spend their time working and gaining income in order to properly live, and that there may not be enough time and attention that can be given to the care of the elderly individual in the family.
A much more practical option then would be to put the elderly under the care of people inside a nursing home. In one, nursing home personnel will be able to provide proper care to the elderly individual and that they will also be able to assist the elderly in the activities that they want to do every day. This frees up time for the younger members of the family to focus on their work and other life responsibilities and that they can simply just go to the nursing home to visit and check on their elderly and spend time with them.
Despite the benefits that a nursing home can give, it cannot be denied that not all nursing homes are equal; some are bound to be better than others. If you are looking for nursing homes then you will want to consider the following when looking for a nursing home.
One is that you will want to take a closer look as to where the nursing home is located. It would be ideal if the nursing home is located in a peaceful and quite neighbourhood that is away from the hustle and bustle of modern urban life. With such a well located nursing home, your elderly family member will be able to get all of the rest and relaxation needed for an easy life.
It is also of utmost importance that you look at the equipment present inside the nursing home. You will want to make sure that the equipment are modern and clean. Also, take a close look at the amenities and features that the nursing facility provides. You will want it to be as comfortable as possible for your elderly family member.
You will also want to take a look at the history of the nursing home and the quality of services that they provide. Also, if you are looking for a nursing home in the Kentucky area, you will want to read up on nursing home neglect Kentucky 2015 articles and see which nursing homes are said to have had cases of neglect of the clients under their care. These articles should give you a good idea as to which nursing homes you will want to avoid, as well as what you can do should instances of neglect and abuse happen to your elderly family member.

The Garmin Forerunner 220 is a GPS running watch with a high resolution color display made by Garmin, an elite GPS running watch manufacturer. The forerunner 220 tracks distance and pace and includes social media and live tracking connectivity features. In addition, there is an upgraded model that will also track heart rate.
Every runner needs the basic statistics for their run and the Garmin Forerunner 220 GPS Watch is a master at the basics. It provides accurate, real-time data including distance and pace. It works equally well whether you are running outdoors or on a treadmill. The ability to track distance and pace indoors through the built-in accelerometer is a great feature of the Forerunner 220. The watch provides the ability to have a fully customizable workout and has vibration and audio alert features for heart rate, pace, and distance intervals. The post run summary report provides and stores a statistical summary of each run for future reference. The Forerunner 220 also tracks personal records of both time and distance. The connectivity features include social media, live tracking, and automatic uploading through the Garmin Mobile app for your smartphone. Finally, the price is a great feature of the Forerunner 220. The basic model retails for $249.99 and the model with the heart rate monitor retails for $299.99.
While the Forerunner 220 has several great features, there a few drawbacks to the watch too. The Garmin Connect software that is used to track statistics can have occasional glitches that prevent the uploading of data. Also, the GPS is not as precise in distance and pace as experienced runners would prefer. If you are running competitively, you may want a watch with a more accurate and consistent GPS reading.
The Forerunner is an ideal watch for a runner who is looking to maximize their running experience as also mentioned on this review blog, but who may not yet be ready for competitive running. The features are outstanding and it comes with all that a runner needs to makes the best use of their workouts. Those who are competitive runners, desiring more precise distance and pace accuracy, may consider the Garmin Forerunner 305 or 310XT, both of these models test with better accuracy and run between $160-200. It is worth noting that these are older models with lower quality displays than the Forerunner 220. The Nike+ Sportwatch GPS is also another viable option for those who would like similar quality but for less money, although it doesn't have Garmin's reputation or features. It retails for $125-150. However, when you compare the Forerunner 220 to these models, you will see that it is still great value for the money for beginning and intermediate runners.
It is no secret that the secret to longevity, is to stay active. Staying active and healthy involves the monitoring of many things beyond your diet. This Garmin Forerunner 910XT GPS-enabled sport watch offers the active person a multitude of health-targeted inclusions. In one small device, the active person can connect with many different types of information that is provided conveniently right from their wrist in the form of this awesome watch.
Working out and staying active can sometimes become tedious and boring. This is when a lot of people opt to change up their workout routine to include things outside of the gym or fitness center. These health and fitness fans often take up hiking, rock climbing, biking, and many other outdoor activities. This combination watch is the perfect companion for the adventurous exercise fanatic. Offering the user the ability to track their distance, pace, time, heart rate, and elevation, this device seems to have it all.
To add to the healthful informational benefits of this watch, it also offers a built in GPS unit to keep you on the right track when out in the wilderness or trying to find your way around an unfamiliar area. This ultimate watch also comes with a direct connection to the Garmin Connect community. With Garmin Connect, you can map your workout route, map out bike routes, create original workouts, and connect with other users that share your interest in exercise.

These incredible features include such things as swim distance, swim metrics, stroke count, stroke identification, and pool lengths. Combined with the GPS feature on this device, you can map your swimming route and calculate your swolf score to analyze and increase your swimming efficiency and speed. This information can then be downloaded to your Garmin Connect where the information can be analyzed and technique can be adjusted.
One drawback of this device is that the battery life is only 20 hours long. If you are planning to spend an extended stay in the wilderness away from modern conveniences, this could cause a problem without electricity to recharge the unit.
When it comes to the ultimate in GPS wristwatches for athletes, this Garmin Forerunner 910XT GPS Watch is the perfect addition to any active person's workout attire. Offering far more than other units such as the Polar exercise monitors, this watch will keep your workout in check while it keeps you on the right path to your workout goals.
