Hello Professor Vincent,
First of all, thank you for your wonderful podcasts! I'm a CFS sufferer and also a student Applied Science so I'm interested in many of the topics discussed for those two reasons and always learning new things.
I think I just found a great Listener Pick of the Week. If not, you can always use it as a christmas card. ;)
This is how fungi celebrate christmas: http://geneticist.tumblr.com/post/14473433122/merry-christmas-nerds-heres-some-christmas
Also, I've been following your blog posts about the H5N1 news the last few days and it was just on the Dutch news that a debate will be held about the research in Dutch parliament after the holidays. It was quite a long topic on the news. They also interviewed Professor Fouchier. If you want a full translation of it, let me know and I'll be happy to give you one.
Greetings and happy holidays!

Dear Twivome,
I greatly enjoyed your discussion this week regarding B cell immunology. Fascinating stuff. I was also pleased with your responses to one of the listener letters you read at the end of the episode. In particular, you guys did a fantastic job dissecting the misrepresented data that a blogger used to promote the fallacious claim that H1N1 vaccine and the HPV vaccines are associated with increases in miscarriages. I went to read that blog post after listening and I was horrified at this bunk, as I am with all the bunk that is being propagated, because it is just so dangerous when people believe this nonsense. I am an epidemiologist and I have to say, Rich, you hit the nail right on the head by pointing out the lack of a denominator in the estimates on which these so called "associations" are based. Unfortunately, you find people doing this kind of thing all over the place. Mainly, I just wanted to write to say thank you for giving a clear description of how this kind of presentation of data is wrong and to tell you that your episode inspired me to record an episode for my own podcast, the Germlines, as a basic introduction to vaccines...what they are, how they work, and what the research process is that they must all undergo to prove safety and efficacy. It is sort of a basic Vaccines 101. I recorded it this week and I'll be posting it sometime in the next two weeks. So thanks for the inspiration!

Hello, TWiV crew.
It is fascinating to learn how virus makes the cell machinery to do things that the machinery is designed to do for virus's benefit, but I am wondering how much of the mechanism explained in this episode is specific to synthesizing virus RNA from virus DNA, as opposed to a normal cell machinery being (ab)used to work on non-host DNA. For example, splicing was mentioned early in the episode, but does it also happen when synthesizing RNA from host DNA?
I assume that the next step, after virus DNA is transcribed to RNA, is for the RNA to be translated to protein. I might be getting ahead of myself, but will we see "Virology 101: Translation" episode later, and if so, I wonder how much of what happens the at ribosome to produce viral protein specific to virus replication cycle, as opposed to being a normal cell machinery that happens to be working on viral stuff. In other words, does "Translation" episode in "Virology 101" class make sense, or is it just "Biology 101"?

Dear TWiV Doctors,
Regarding the CIDRAP release about the "influenza virus that will kill us all", and the letter from Thomas on TWiV 162, I have something else relevant to the discussion. It is a book by Nobel Prize winning Professor of physics Robert Laughlin entitled "The Crime of Reason", where he discusses scientific knowledge that is being hidden, privatized and classified. He discusses how nuclear weapons information was and is hidden(ironically, he can't tell us what it is, because he has a "Q" security clearance), and how that model is being extended to the life sciences in the name of bioterrorism.
It's not a great book. It's short and he is not the best writer, but the topics he raises are interesting and his insider perspective is unique. A better writer than him, with a background in the life sciences, needs to take up the subject and explore it in more depth (Alan Dove, I'm looking at you.).
His radio interviews have been interesting. Here's some links:

Just found your podcast searching for twit (http://twit.tv/). I'm a biochemist and really fell in love with your podcast.
One pet peeve though, please make more video episodes! http://www.twiv.tv/viral-video/ is so empty :( Just makes it more pleasing to see the person that talks (although I really enjoyed the video of the last episode, about transcription, even though there is no face :)

I am most interested in this statement, "One smallpox expert, Dr. D.A. Henderson of the University of Pittsburgh's Bio Security Center, said STS-246 has not been proven to work."
do y'all have any opinions on either the STS-246 is effective against smallpox and/or the alleged allegations?
Grant McFadden responds:
The drug in question is called ST-246, and it was developed by SIGA to target the viral F13 protein (which is highly conserved in all orthopoxviruses) and block the release of extracellular virus at the end of the replication cycle. ST-246 is highly effective against every orthopoxvirus disease model tested to date, including monkeypoxvirus in nonhuman primates. It is also very safe in human clinical trials that measure safety or the ability to be used in conjunction with vaccinia vaccination (it doesn't hurt the vaccine). It has also been safely used on an emergency basis (all patients the patients recovered from their disease and survived) in three clinical cases of runaway vaccinia infections in humans.
The only real still-unproven aspect about this drug is how well it will work against variola virus in people: ST-246 works very well against variola virus in cultured cells but unfortunately there is no good animal model to test for the ability of this drug to treat the disease caused by this virus in humans. The closest available animal model is to inject high doses of variola virus intravenously into nonhuman primates, which avoids the early phase prodromal phase of the natural disease and proceeds quickly to the end stage high viremic phase, when it kills the monkeys very quickly in a disease that doesn't mimic smallpox very well at all. Since the drug is designed to stop the amplification and spread of the virus (it blocks the egress of the extracellular form of orthopoxviruses), it is predicted to be less effective if given only at the time of end stage disease, but even so, ST-246 still reduces the skin lesion count in variola-infected nonhuman primates. This is exactly what the FDA is struggling with right now, in terms of whether to licence the drug as a therapeutic measure to treat smallpox: the current status of animal models using variola virus are not good enough to unambiguously answer the question!
But the overwhelming evidence is that ST-246 (as well as a competing drug called CMX001) is safe and efficacious against all orthopoxvirus diseases, but the evidence relating to how well it will work against variola virus in humans is still indirect because of the inherent limitations of the available animal models.
The FDA is meeting next week (Dec 14-15) near Washington to consider this exact issue.

H-3 Fwy Honolulu-bound Closed
The Honolulu-bound lanes of the H-3 freeway are shut down through early Monday morning so crews can replace an expansion joint, which allows the concrete to naturally expand and contract due to swings in temperature. The closure began at 9 last night and the town-bound lanes will reopen at 4 a.m. Monday. If you're driving to Honolulu, you should take the Pali or Likelike Highways.

text: Hi everyone. New to the site, so I decided to drop by. I'm also new to hunting in general....I got my first rabbits the other day, and had a blast doing it....I live in the Yuma area, and while I know it's not the best for hunting waterfowl, I plan to make the most of it come this fall.....I do plan on starting with dove (I know, not waterfowl, but should be good practice for shooting something flying through the air), and then move to duck/geese once that season starts....I hope to learn lots from you.

Diatoms are a major group of algae and are one of the most common types of phytoplantktons. These algae of microscopic dimensions are the fundamental nutrient of many living beings. They have major vital functions from the production of oxygen to the formation of oil, which is a very important source of energy.
Diatoms produce their shells by transforming the silicon dissolved in water into silica which is similar to opal. The glass-like shells coming into existence as a result of this transformation have an enormous variety and a perfect architecture. Pores on diatoms that enable them to take in nutrients and make gas exchange also refine the structure. Consequently the appearance of these living beings becomes masterpieces of math and aesthetics with flawless angles.
We need to keep in mind that diatoms are microscopic beings no bigger than a pinhead in size having no neural system or brain. It is obvious that these shells of extremely aesthetic appearance produced by diatoms could not have come into existence by chance. Furthermore using the same materials diatoms produce perfect shells with the same features but totally different appearance. This flawless architecture and variety in diatoms is only one of the manifestations of Allah's unique artistry.
"It is He Who created everything on the earth for you..." (Surat al-Baqara, 29)
The majority of the operations performed by diatoms cannot be performed even under laboratory conditions. It is surely not possible for a single-celled living being consisting of a cell membrane and chloroplast to work as a chemistry laboratory.
We need to keep in mind that this tiny living being is even unaware of the carbon dioxide that exists outside, the oxygen it produces, the importance of carbon for living beings and the D vitamin in fish oil. It only performs the functions assigned to it by the superior attributes with which it is endowed. For this reason it acts under inspiration.
The superior Might Who gives this inspiration to diatoms, creates it and makes it essential for the survival of life on Earth and the One Who creates the Heavens, Earth and everything inbetween is Allah. This fact is revealed in one verse as follows:
"Our Word to a thing when We desire it is just to say to it 'Be!' and it is." (Surat an-Nahl Suresi, 40)

Handheld Fabric Steamer
I've seen some ads on TV and online about the hand held fabric steamer and I was really thinking to have one. I think this is a handy companion in the house to think that some linens like curtains and blankets are really hard to straighten out using the ordinary flat iron. I've seen a lot of reviews saying that handheld fabric steamer is an effective tool in wrinkle removal. All you have to do is to hang the fabric and just move the fabric steamer up and down while it dispenses a continuous flow of steam. If you want, you can also use this for pants. The fabric steamer can be adjusted according to the right amount of steam that is suitable for the fabric type.
I think this is worth a try. This also comes with a storage bag and can be brought along with you during your travels. However, this fabric steamer is available on various brands, so I suggest that before you purchase this, you must take time to read some product reviews online so you would be able to get the best brand available. So far, the Rowenta Handheld Fabric Steamer is the one getting good reviews. Better do a research first to get your money's worth. I think this is priced at about $30.
I would certainly love to have one.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Sorry if this seems self serving to post about, but I sort of see my project Stolen Sharpie Revolution as a community project and the more info I get from the rad zine community the better it will be!
Stolen Sharpie Revolution is a book I put together as a DIY giude for zines. There have been 3 printings since 2002 and I'm working on the 4th right now. I'm actually calling it Stolen Sharpie Revolution 2 because a lot has changed over the years and I had added a lot of new stuff. The printing has been delayed forever due to a large variety of things... usually money related. But I have the funds together now so here's where I need your help.
In the back of each edition of Stolen Sharpie Revolution I have listings of distros, stores that sell zines, zine libraries, zine events and more. I need you help because I can't really travel all over the world in search of illusive zine events (but that would be awesome!) I need your eyes and ears in the corners of the world to help SSR2 be the best print resource for zines.
I have pretty extensive listings as it is but the more the merrier. I would love it if you would mention shops or distros or whatever in this discussion thread and I'll let you know if they are included. Also, if you have a new distro let me know and I'll let you know the info I need to get it included in SSR2.
Thanks so much for being patient with me!

Spartacus Books in Vancouver carries a lot of zines
Spartacus Books
684 East Hastings Street
Vancouver, BC V6A 1R1
From their website: "Spartacus Books is a non-profit, volunteer & collectively run bookstore & resource center located right on the edge of Vancouver's Eastside (now we're in Strathcona!). The store has been successfully run for 35 years by a collective of volunteers, serving as a hub for radical education and action in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland:
· Offering a wealth of progressive and radical material unavailable through corporate outlets
· Bringing people together across political stripes in a community space on the edge of the Downtown Eastside
· Hosting a wide range of events for groups, individuals and artists active in social change – readings, movies, shows, workshops and much more."
Misti Ko mentioned Regional Assembly of Text upthread. Here's some more info on them:
3934 Main Street
Vancouver, BC V5V 3P2
From their website: "Previously a storage closet, currently a reading room, the lowercase is home to hundreds of zines and self published books. It features the former collections of the (over)view gallery and cyclops library, with a cozy little sitting area, all in a space measuring less than 9 by 3 feet."
Two Canadian zine fests that definitely should be included are ExpoZine (www.expozine.ca) which is Montreal's Annual Small Press, Comic and Zine Fair; and Toronto's Canzine (www.brokenpencil.com/) hosted by Broken Pencil mag and billed as "Canada's largest zine fair and festival of alternative culture."
The same organizer of Expozine runs DISTROBOTO. (www.distroboto.archivemontreal.org) "DISTROBOTO machines are former cigarette machines which no longer sell cigarettes, but instead, sell art in the form of miniature books, crafts, comics, music, film, animation and more!" Distroboto is probably the coolest thing you'll find in any bar in Montreal! I've got awesome 2" CDs and zines outta the Distroboto machines. Very, very cool.
My zine is a garage rock fanzine so it's mostly sold in record stores, gallery shops, and cool vintage clothing stores. I don't know if those are the types of places you're looking for but if so, the following carry Mongrel...
In Vancouver, BC: Dandelion Records (228 East Broadway), The JEM Gallery (225 Broadway East), Red Cat Records (4307 Main Street), Scratch Records (726 Richards Street), The Fall/Flaming Angels Boutique (644 Seymour Street), The Sweatshop (1943 East Hastings), Tiger Tiger (2471 East Hastings), Zulu Records (1972 West 4th Avenue), Mintage (1714 Commercial).
In Montreal: Primitive Records (3828 Saint-Denis) and Les Disques Sonik (4050 Berri at Duluth)
And in Toronto: Frantic City (123 Ossington Avenue)
I'm trying to figure out where to put Distoboto. I have heard of it but haven't seen it. Should it be under distro or general zine resource?
Do any of those shops have several zines for sale for people to look at? also do you think they are open for carrying more?
Hey Alex. I would love to trade places this morning! i'll video myself putting together a worthy project and you feed my bottomless stomached, bouncing off the walls children. Actually, they'll simmer down when I take em to Paping zine's puppet show (i hope)
A wonderful comic / graphic novel shop that carries DIY comics and heavily illustrated zines is
208 Smith Street, Brooklyn, New York 11201
Owners are Alex and Mary - they're good people who pay on time too!
I can't remember if I already replied in some way about this but here is some info about our social centre, which also includes a bookshop as well as a library that stocks zines. We have been going for 6 years now!
The Cowley Club
Anarchist volunteer run social centre with radical bookshop and also a lending and reference library both stocking zines (plus vegan cafe, bar, venue, grassroots projects)
12 London Road, Brighton BN1 4ZQ, UK
I would love it if you listed my zine, Ms Valerie Park (http://www.msvaleriepark.blogspot.com/)
It's out of Olympia, Washington.
There's also a good zine library at Last Word Books (211 East 4th Ave. Olympia, WA 98501) and at the Olympia Library (313 8th Ave SE, Olympia, Wa 98501).
Thanks for asking!

|Topic Review (Newest First)
So glad that you figured this out!! From what I have read, when I thought Titan had this, it is rather manageable! So yay for that.
Regardless, have you thought of crate training her so she doesn't eat so many random things?
|So sorry to hear that she has EPI. We thought our 9-month-old girl had it, for various symptoms similar to what you describe. It was a bad case of giardia instead, but I did a lot of reading on EPI in the meantime. Check out this wonderful site for more information about living with and managing EPI: www.epi4dogs.com. They also have a forum. Good luck!
|I have one suggestion that will help you along the way. Get a notebook and keep a journal for a while, that way you can go back to see what changes you made and how Shelby responded. I kept one for about two years and it helped a bunch.

Harry and Lola has already given you great advise on how to get started with her treatment. I would also highly recommend joining epi4dogs!
The enzymes from the vet can be expensive but there is another option if you are interested. Enzyme Diane provides enzymes at a much lower cost to many EPI dogs. Enzyme Diane -
If you need help just let us know...I hope she responds to treatment soon and will become a member of the "Chunky Monkey" club
Chunky Monkey Club - EPI * Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency
|Harry and Lola
Sorry to hear she has EPI, but don't be worried about managing and treating her, some EPI dogs respond quickly and put on weight, others take a little longer and need 'tweaking' medication etc.
In Australia we use Creon 10,000 or 25,000 capsules which you can buy online, and give one before each meal.
I believe there are more options for replacement enzymes in the USA, so I suggest you join the eip4dogs website Forum - EPI * Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency and seek advice from the very experienced people there.
Also, I would suggest you treat her for SIBO at the same time you start giving replacement enzymes. Give her 1/4 tsp of Tylosin (Tylan) twice a day for 45 days.
I also suggest you treat her for low B12 levels at the same time, have your vet give her a weekly injection of generic B12 (not the multivitamin or complex one) for 6 weeks, then another shot 1 month later and put her on Wonderlab's B12 vitamin with Intrinsic Value (1 capsule daily)
Once you start treating her with the enzymes before each meal, sort out SIBO with a course of Tylan and keep her B12 levels high with the above injections and daily Wonderlab B12 capsule, you will see her weight increase, she will be less anxious and fearful and a lot happier and healthy.
Good luck and don't stress out too much, EPI is manageable

|I hope she doesn't have a blockage, but I agree with the others, to have her checked for EPI. I hope also that she gets a good check-up!!! Best wishes for her- Bob
|EPI would explain why she is eating lots of "stuff" and weight loss. might want to see how soon you can get to the vet.
I'm with Heidigsd and Harry and Lola here-- get her checked out for EPI. It is common in GSDs, but often veterinarians do not have experience with the disease and do not understand the proper testing procedures or treatment protocol.
The test for EPI is a blood test that must be done after AT LEAST a 12 hour fast. If you do test for EPI make sure your dog has had no food (water is fine) for at least 12 hours. The values read from the bloodwork should be cTLI, cobalamin, and folate.
EPI stands for exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. The pancreas stops producing the necessary enzymes for digesting food. Since food goes through the digestive tract poorly digested, the dog does not receive proper nutrition and rapidly loses weight. This leads to constant diarrhea/loose stools, malnutrition, and can have other symptoms, such as pica (eating a bunch of random things the dog shouldn't). Further, undigested food in the intestines promotes growth of undesirable bacteria.
If your dog does have EPI you'll likely have to put her on a 45-day course of antibiotics (Tylan is usually the best choice) and permanently add digestive enzymes to her food. Some dogs also need B12 vitamins or B12 injections.
I strongly encourage you to check out the website Heidigsd listed:
Overview - EPI * Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency
and read through the symptoms, testing protocol, and treatments BEFORE you take your dog to the vet. I'd also recommend joining the forum there and telling those folks what you've experienced with your dog. They are an active and very supportive community that can walk you through the steps of testing for EPI, and, if she's diagnosed, treating it.

Its advanced technology means that it exhibits self-cleaning properties, repels liquids and is extremely resilient to all kinds of damage.* Acid rain, pollution, solvents and road salt are no longer an issue. It has exceptional capability to resist the effects of jet washes, solvents and animal and vegetable deposits.†
The Suzuki Glasscoat protection system is so advanced thetechnology was utilised to protect key components on the NASA Space Programme, delivering exceptional protection in extreme temperatures and the very harshest of environments.
Suzuki Glasscoat is up to 4 times thicker than existing fluoropolymer type protectors and is ten times more durable compared to most other products. This unsurpassed and consistent performance means that only Suzuki Glasscoat comes with a standard 5 year guarantee. No inspection or conserver type top up maintenance is required.
Suzuki Glasscoat helps new motorcycles retain their 'just new' look and revitalises the look of pre-owned bikes. Dirt and grime is easily washed off, ensuring that treated motorcycles stay looking cleaner for longer. This is unique to the market place.
As well as providing market-leading protection for your paint, painted wheels, perspex screens and lighting the Suzuki Protection Collection includes world-class protection for your motorcycle's chrome.
Yes, extensive independent research and laboratory testing has conclusively established that Suzuki Glasscoat will outperform all other known paint protection products.
Suzuki Glasscoat provides a hard glass-based layer to your bike. Its polysilazane coating keeps the paintwork free from oxidization, providing a long term beautiful surface. The hydro- repellent quality enables dirt and grime to be easily removed. The versatility of the product means that it can also be used on alloy wheels to protect against high temperatures and to prevent the build up of brake dust. Similarly, the Suzuki Protection Collection will protect your chromium plating from the elements.
None whatsoever. No more waxing or polishing.
Suzuki Glasscoat's water repellent surface helps provide a self cleaning quality to the paint's surface. Because dirt and grime cannot adhere to the Suzuki Glasscoat layer easily, most debris is washed off with any rainfall.

Huawei is one of the most intriguing companies in the ICT industry, but its overall strategy remains largely unchanged: imitating established products and services, then adjusting and enhancing them, and making them available at an attractive price point. But to be fair: Huawei is pushing more and more innovative products.
In 2012, Huawei's annual revenue growth slowed down to 8% to CNY 220 billion (about US$ 35 billion). During the same period, its EBIT margin remained flat at 9%, despite the changing revenue composition due to the growth of its consumer and enterprise business. Unlike last year's event which was dominated by the announcement to push into the enterprise space, this year's Global Analyst Summit in Shenzhen saw little ground breaking news. It was more of a progress report:

'"It's definitely not the way we want to play," said Pominville, the right winger who reached the 20-goal mark for the fifth straight season. "We want to be disciplined, and it's tough to accept. We've taken a lot of pride in it lately, but I think discipline isn't only penalties, it's our system. We had a lot of breakdowns. I don't know how many two-on-ones we gave up. We gave up way too many two-on-ones, and those are Grade A scoring chances."'

Sabres shift out of focus in road loss
Miller laments one that got away
'Buffalo hardly looked like a team looking to clinch a playoff spot in the final seven games and possibly ascend to seventh, maybe even sixth. Instead, the Sabres played more like the team that had struggled during the first half of the season. Their defense was loose. They surrendered too many odd-man rushes. Their forwards failed to convert. They took silly penalties. Their goaltending wasn't good enough.'
Rangers, Sabres looking to move up standings
'"We've got ourselves in a situation where if we put a nice little run together we can move up the standings," Ruff said.'
Leafs have Miller's number
'Thanks to a 4-3 victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday, the Leafs have now beaten Miller three consecutive times in the past six weeks. Yes, this is the same Ryan Miller who, prior to his modest losing streak versus Toronto, had a career record of 24-8 against the Leafs.'

'"I had a chance to set the tone on my end and didn't do it," said Miller. "It just kind of went from there. … (The shot) was rising up and I didn't have a step on it. So I just look stupid."'
Sabres goaltender Ryan Miller finds balance
'A big key to the late-season surge is Miller's health. He came out of training camp with some nagging hip and groin problems that forced him to sit out games at the beginning of November. "It's just little things that kind of add up," Miller said Tuesday morning. "You don't feel great but every player plays with (small injuries). … It's just as a goalie you're not used to certain feelings when you're out there. At that time of year you want to get a lot of work and I was trying to ease off on the work. It's tough to find a balance."'
Toronto 4, Buffalo 3
'"We got off to a rough start tonight," said Buffalo head coach Lindy Ruff. "We made some mistakes and weren't able to come back. We were pushing to get the offense going all night."'
Leafs Defeat Sabres 4 to 3
'A sloppy effort defensively led to a three point night for the Leaf's MacArthur and a constant parade to the penalty box as the Sabres fell to the Toronto 4 to 3.'

Miller coming up big at right time
'"It's nice this time of year to have a little stretch where you're recognized like that," Miller said after practice Monday in HSBC Arena. "It lines up with the way we've been playing as a team, really paying attention to detail and with good emotion in the game. I guess that's exactly what we need this time of year. A goalie a lot of times can be a difference-maker but is really a reflection of the way the team plays."'
Leopold's doctor's appointment postponed
'"He's an all-around great defenseman and somebody we've relied on in a lot of situations," said Steve Montador, who has spent much of the season as Leopold's defense parter. "As we've gone through injuries before, it just gives somebody an opportunity to fill in the spots where he was so good at. … It can be a good thing for guys to step up."'
Leafs' Reimer knows Miller well
'"I remember that and how the whole crowd was giving him the (derisive) Miller chant," Reimer, a Manitoba native, said. "You look up to a guy who has had that much success and works that hard. I don't think anything has been given to him. You admire what he has done. Hopefully I can do that in my career and be as successful as he is."'
Leafs' MacArthur staying positive
'Now, the Leafs have to worry about Sabres goalie Ryan Miller, who has two shutouts in his past three games and on Monday was named the NHL's first star of the week. Miller has 24 career wins in 31 decisions against the Leafs.'
Sabres relish chance to 'bury' the Leafs
'"Any time you play a division rival it's a fun game, but now that the playoffs are on the line it makes it even more fun," said Pominville following his team's practice Monday at HSBC Arena. "They won a big one last time against us in their building. Their building was rocking and it was a fun place to play in and I'm sure it will be that way again tomorrow. Everybody is excited about the opportunity to push them down."'

Cocktails & Canvas comes to Alpine Arts Center in Edwards
July 6, 2012
Looking for a fun and creative night out in the company of friends? The Alpine Arts Center has the perfect solution. The Edwards based Arts Center is now offering a new series of classes perfect for a fun and unique outing with friends, Cocktails & Canvas.Inspired by a creative movement in Denver, owner Lauren Merrill has added the schedule of classes to the already packed summer schedule of classes, workshops and camps to fill a much-needed missing niche in the Valley. These new classes are the perfect way to enjoy a social evening of painting that is totally stress free. During each class an instructor will guide you through a step-by-step demonstration of the featured acrylic painting for that evening, and you will leave with your own unique masterpiece on stretched canvas, ready to display. Due to the wide variety of paintings featured, each class presents a unique opportunity to view and learn a new style. Canvases, brushes, easels and aprons are included, and beer/wine and snacks can be purchased at the bar throughout the night. "We're excited to bring Cocktails & Canvas to the Vail Valley," Merrill said. "We've experimented with these events already for private parties, and everyone has a blast and asks us to do them on a more regular basis." Cocktails & Canvas classes will be offered every Wednesday night and every other Saturday night throughout the summer, with Cocktails & Clay classes coming soon.Alpine Arts Center is located at 210 Edwards Village Blvd. A105, in the Edwards Commercial Park. For more information about Cocktails & Canvas or other upcoming programs at Alpine Arts Center, visit http://www.alpineartscenter.org or call 970-926-2732.

Parking ticket
06/11/2012 , 5:14 PM by Barry Nicholls
It's annoying that feeling of just throwing money away. In the form of a parking ticket I mean. It was just $30 but thirty dollars worth of annoying. Just one of those days when I happen to forget that I'd parked in the public car park and not at work (they are next to each other). It can easily happen. No point getting too upset about it. It is after all ten cents a day for a year or even less. The feeling of handing over the money isn't too flash. Still the local council appreciated it, judging by the smile on the worker who took my money!

Every parking ticket hurts. Depending on your tax rate
you have to earn much more to pay the fine.

When it comes to family travel, our mantra is: play it safe! Take some basic steps to ensure your little one's safety, and you'll enjoy your outings and vacations that much more.
If you are traveling with a toddler, experts suggest you childproof your hotel room. Some hotel and cruise lines actually provide childproofing kits upon request, so ask when you make your reservations. To childproof a hotel room:
If you're using a hotel crib, inspect it carefully. Several years ago, The National Safe Kids Campaign performed random safety checks on nearly 100 hotel cribs and discovered safety hazards in four out of every five cribs tested. Common dangers included loose hardware, insufficient mattress supports, and soft or loose bedding, a suffocation risk.
Since then, the Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) and Safe Kids launched a hotel safety initiative. Some national chains, but not all of them, now participate in the program. The CPSC suggests that when booking a reservation, parents should ask if there's a system in place to ensure crib safety.�
Rule #1: pack all your child's essentials—diapers, food, toys, any medication—in your carry-on. Pack enough to account for flight delays and misplaced luggage.
Rapid changes in cabin pressure can make little ears "pop," so keep drinks or pacifiers available for takeoffs and landings (sucking helps reduce ear sensitivity). Or bring along kids ear plugs or ear filters, which buffer eardrums against air pressure changes.
Airplanes present unique challenges for parents with young children. Kids under age two are not required by law to be restrained on airplanes, so it's up to every parent to decide how to travel.
If you decide to ride with baby on your lap, consider a flight vest that secures your child to your lap belt. These vests are not designed for use during takeoff and landing, but for cruising, when turbulence most often occurs.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recommends that small children be seated in a Child Restraint System, or CRS, a car seat. According to FAA guidelines:
In addition, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) offers these tips:
Bringing your car seat on board is an excellent idea, but carrying it through the airport can be challenging. We carry a number of air travel accessories designed specifically to make flying with children easier.
Bon voyage!

|SVT Performance (2002-2004) The place to chat about any 2.0L SVT DOHC Zetec engine performance, tuning and exhaust related upgrades.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Heh, I certainly understand what you mean. The DSI manifold does seem like a bit of a mechanical hassle - although the only real problem consistently encountered is the clip breaking on the thing, which has been remedied by CFM with their billet aluminum clip. The thing is, just about everything that could possibly be done to suck an extra tenth of a horsepower or foot-pound out of these engines has been done, very completely, by at least a few owners, and those renovations that work tend to take off and gain popularity rather spectacularly, if they're in the least bit cost-efficient or helpful with the powerband. The fact that we keep running into, however, is that SVT did too damned good a job with most of the engine components to leave a lot of room for improvement with normal aspiration. The stock tune certainly sucks, but a great many of us have had that remedied by one of the fellas that has done everything that can be done to the SVTF and can provide tunes configured for every modification we have done individually. As SVT claims our engine to be the most sophisticated and complex one they've developed, it seems to be true considering what they've done to make the thing put out as much smog-legal and $$-friendly power it can. I guess the thing is that a lot of other mods would have to be done to the engine first to get to the point where the DSI manifold the restricting/problematic component. I'm as excited as anyone else, though, to hear of improvements that can be made - maybe someone's got a magic manifold hidden away under their hood that we still need to hear about :-D
|The fact that our manifold is made of two separate parts also eases the process of making a manifold. The flange side of the stock manifold could be retained lowering production costs. Then a larger plenum and runners could be mated to the stock flange using the stock intake manifold hoses. A bracket could support the new plenum to the block. It just seems to be a fairly inexpensive design that could be fairly easy to install after produced. Also by keeping the stock plastic flange, it could reduce intake temps from a metal flange by heat dissapation. I was just hoping one of the board sponsers such as c-f-m or focusport would jump in on this idea and create a manifold just for sole purpose of dyno improvements. Not only do i think it is possible to see hp and tq gains from this, but it would also be a nice dress up piece to the engine bay.
In response to losing high end hp or low end torque, I understand what you are saying. With that being said though, the use of aftermarket cams produces hp/tq gains and losses across the powerband depending on the grind, lift, and duration. It is all a give and take but people still choose to change the cams in their foci.
I have read many threads where people say forced induction is the only reason for a new manifold. I still dont believe that to be true though. You say you have seen many designs that have failed, but how far did they go through with the project. And yes i know that the engagement point of the runners can be changed by a tune, but i was referring to timing and fuel being adjusted to yield the same results or better with a aftermarket manifold compared to stock. I am not trying to come across as a jerk with this post, but Im just trying to see if anyone has ever tried or created an aftermarket manifold.
|The issue with ditching the whole DSI is the fact of either loosing low end and gaining high end or loosing high to gain low...im sure you could make one that has a nice medium but you will then loose a little low and high. If staying NA then i dont really see a better option than a DSI manifold.
|FI would be the only reason for a new intake. All the custom intakes i have heard about or seen has always failed. There is nothing out there man. Sorry. As long as you keep an eye on your DSI clip and make sure your IMRC is working properly, i wouldnt worry about it. Aftermarket tunes can change when the runner changes. Do a search on these topics, they have been discussed quite a bit on here.
Creating A New Intake Manifold
I have had my SVTF for about a month now and absolutely love the handling characteristics of the car. As far as power goes, this car is definatly lacking. Getting down to my question though. Has anyone ever experimented with a different intake manifold setup. The whole dual runner manifold seems like a waste of space and money. With all the problems I have read about and now encountered with the piece, it seems to be a piece of crap. I have read how everyone thinks it is great and how hp and torque will be lost if switching to a different manifold, but I am not sure this is true. If a aftermarket large plenum style manifold was made, couldn't the car be tuned to preform just as well or not better? I have no plans to turbo the car, so it will be a minimal gain if there is one. But i guess the whole purpose of this would be a escape away from this intake manifold that alot of people have problems with. Any thoughts?

Hey sup guys.
while being a new member to the forums and all i find it a tad hard to find
the fellow members who create certain parts of Boba Fetts armor and cloth costume
and such. so i think some one who knows all the producers for the Boba Fett parts should make a topic which lists the parts and the people who produce that certain part for example.
ESB Boba Fett cape: Woodman, and Chris from TK409 (what ever his username is)
Boba Fett Helmet: Sgt.Fang, Fettpride
some thing like that.

Justin Townes Earle
Show of the Week • Singer-songwriter Justin Townes Earle released his superb, fourth full-length album, "Nothing's Gonna Change the Way You Feel About Me Now," in 2012. He has stepped further outside his father Steve Earle's large shadow by producing "Unfinished Business," an album by Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Wanda Jackson. In a phone interview, Earle said he wanted the album to sound like a Wanda Jackson album as opposed to albums she had recorded over the 15 years when producers had meddled too much. "I kneel down next to her," Earle said. "She was wonderful to work with." Earle's recent album features more of a soul sound, which he said was a conscious decision. He said the move toward the sound of Memphis follows the same trajectory of the blues and rock-and-roll, which started down in the South with just an acoustic guitar and eventually evolved just as his music has.

Okay well I obviously I bought this for my beautiful black thoroughbred mare and I love the contrast of the hot pink against her dark coloring. It's good quality construction, however, it's better to have a breakaway on a halter - god forbid it get stuck on the fence or anything else in the pasture. A horse could break their neck trying to wriggle free while a breakaway halter will snap off should a situation like this occur. It's better to be safe than fashionable. Perhaps I did not realize this before purchasing.

This is a wonderful quality halter. Its nice to find a 1 inch halter that is made for a draft horse. Usually they are super thick and stiff. This halter is put together really well and has lasted great for my rough boy.

I'm not a huge fan of brass but it looked great anyway and it fit and it was a great price!

Hamiltons have always been great. The halter is of good materials, attractive, and well built. However, the color was not as advertised and the blue was much duller and a little darker than the one in the picture. Please try to accurately represent your products in the future! Beware, you have no idea what color you will get.Either way, love it.

Awesome fit! Finally found a halter that fits great. My horses are now comfortable. With no nose or chin rubbing.

My stallion has big jaws and a little nose and this is adjustable enough to work for him. This is the only brand I can buy for him.

Replacing retiring Dover school superintendent meeting topic
Closed session Monday
The school board is scheduled to discuss options in non-public session on Monday at 6 p.m. in the Superintendent's Conference Room at the McConnell Center. As it involves personnel matters, the meeting is not open to residents, but a public session should follow.School Board Chairman Rocky D'Andrea said Briggs-Badger will be missed.
"While the decision was a surprise, I cannot say I was shocked. She has endured many political attacks the last couple of years by those that are not informed or misinformed. Many of the jabs should actually have been pointed at prior boards and superintendents as she spent much of her tenure cleaning up messes left by others," D'Andrea said in an email.Interim appointment
D'Andrea said officials have contacted the N.H. School Board Association for guidance.
"We are most likely going to have to have an interim while we conduct our search. We are not going to rush into any decision as it is too important for our community," D'Andrea said in the email.Tensions and disagreements between some city and district officials will continue to be a challenge, especially as some residents, including a city councilor and a school board member have already recommended another official to serve in the interim."There is currently an email from a councilor floating out there that is not endorsed and has not been discussed by the board," D'Andrea said in the e-mail.
In an email sent to fellow officials, City Councilor Mike Crago said he agreed with School Board member Doris Grady's recommendation to name Jim Amara, who is retiring as director of Dover's Regional Career Technical Center, as an interim superintendent.Mayor Dean Trefethen reminded city officials to let school district officials to follow existing procedures.
"I think it would be best to leave this discussion and outreach to the School Board. Involvement by a city council member, directly or indirectly, could be construed as a charter violation," Trefethen said in an email."The Dover administration is resilient and will do what it takes to carry on, but we all have a large task ahead of us," D'Andrea said in the email.
The district will honor retirees and staff members with at least 20 years of experience who are moving to other opportunities today from 4 to 5:30 at Dover Middle School.

Arsenal manager Laura Harvey was full of praise for her side's battling qualities after they took another step towards the Women's Super League title.
The Gunners were made to dig deep by a spirited Everton side but Kim Little's second-half strike sealed three points at Meadow Park on Thursday.
And not for the first time this season, Harvey paid tribute to her Arsenal's resilience.
"We have had to dig deep on a number of occasions this year and we showed it again against Everton," she told Arsenal.com. "When you can add the quality we have to that then you can be successful.
"We have a fantastic winning mentality at Arsenal and the girls do it in the right way. We are not disrespectful to the other teams and we don't concentrate on anyone but ourselves.
"We know if we perform well and we dig in we can push anybody. That goes for the league, any lower league opposition and Champions League."
On a nervy night at Boreham Wood, Arsenal showed all of their character to hold on for three points against a strong Everton side.
With not much separating the two sides during the 90 minutes, Harvey admitted that luck was on their side at times against the Toffees.
"I thought the first half was played at an absolutely frightening tempo and credit to both teams for that. With two teams like this it will always be the fine bits of detail that win or lose you games.
"I think luck was on our side at times but Kim Little popped up with a bit of quality to win it and we needed a great save from Emma Byrne late on to keep it at 1-0.
"Those moments will win you football matches and hopefully push you on to win titles."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Walton will be surrounded by some of the state's most accomplished athletes, coaches and community leaders - and fit right in. He was nominated for the Lundholm Award by NHTI's director of athletics, Paul Hogan.
"Tom Walton will jump onto any movement to help others," Hogan said. "He lends his expertise and experience and energy to so many causes, big or small.
The Leaders, formerly known as the Parade of Champions, will also honor the 2012 Union Leader All-State high school athletes and coaches of the year, 12 BASC/Apple Therapy Athletes of the Month, and some of the state's all-time best coaches and officials. The Red Rolfe Male and Female Athletes of the Year also will be named.

I'm sure lots of you are like me, you want the most power possible in your daily driver. Face it, we're all addicted to that wonderful feeling of being thrown back in our seats and knowing that our cars are the fastest in the work parking lot. The problem is however that generally with high HP comes low MPGs. My question to TCL is would you be ok to give up 50% of your power for a 50% increase in fuel economy?
Here's my personal situation. We have 4 cars in my household, my wife drives a '12 S60 T6 and I have a '01 2.5RS, '04 M3 and a '78 MGB. All these cars get below 30 mpg on the highway (M3 and S60 are tied at 27) and around town we barely reach 22 in any car. This is really starting to bother me. I've been looking at cars that are in hatch form, come in manual and can achieve 30+ mixed driving. This is quite a small population and I wouldn't call any car that qualifies as "fast". I'm thinking of maybe buying a Focus 5-door or even a Golf TDI but I'm not sure if I can live with those power levels.
So what say you TCL? Would you trade your keys in on a quick car for a slower car with better MPG? If you have done this, do you regret it? How did you cope with the "lack" of power?

Orchestra Toronto, one of Canada's oldest and largest community volunteer orchestras, has just appointed a new music director: Danielle Lisboa. Dr. Lisboa succeeds Erroll Gay, who led the orchestra for almost eight years. She holds a doctorate in orchestral conducting from the Eastman School of Music. She has been with the orchestra as assistant conductor since September, working alongside Dr. Gay, and was selected among a number of highly qualified candidates for the Music Director position. Speaking of her appointment, Dr. Lisboa said that she is "humbled and very honoured to be part of Orchestra Toronto" and that she is grateful to the orchestra's musicians for believing in her. "I feel blessed," she said.
Orchestra News conveys sincerest congratulations and best wishes to Daina Janitis, long-time manager of the London Youth Symphony, on her retirement from the position. We will miss her spirited updates and her championing of the gifted young musicians she has cared for over the years!
A few months ago, we were pleased to help publicize the Sir Ernest MacMillan Memorial Foundation's award for conducting, presented in commemoration of the Foundation's 25th anniversary, and in recognition of Sir Ernest MacMillan's celebrated career as a conductor, in particular his 25 years with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra (1931-56). We're now delighted to reveal that three finalists for the award have been chosen: Ghassan Alaboud (Montreal), Geneviève Leclair (Montreal), and Matthew Otto (Toronto). They will lead the University of Toronto Symphony Orchestra in front of an audience and jury in Toronto on March 29. For more information, please visit here.
The Niagara Symphony has announced that its Music Director search is now focused on three remaining candidates, following the withdrawal of conductor John Morris Russell from the selection process. In a media release last week, Niagara Symphony Executive Director Jack Mills stated that "we believe, our audiences believe, and indeed Maestro Russell has stated that the remaining three candidates – Timothy Hankewich, Bradley Thachuk and Diane Wittry are exceptional candidates!"
The Canadian Arts Coalition, a national non-partisan arts lobby group, has announced the results of its recent steering committee elections. The new steering committee consists of:
Katherine Carleton, Orchestras Canada (co-chair); Éric Dubeau, Fédération culturelle canadienne-française (co-chair); Bastien Gilbert, Artist-Run Centres and Collectives Conference; Melissa Gruber, Canadian Artists' Representation; Sarah Iley, The Banff Centre/Canadian Arts Summit; Shannon Litzenberger, Canadian Dance Assembly; Barbara Ulrich, Conseil québécois des arts médiatiques.

The Hinson Girls went to Hartsville and came home state bluegrass champions.
The four sisters – Katelyn, 12, on mandolin and lead vocals, 14-year-old twins Allison and Melissa on banjo and bass, and Kristin, 17, on guitar and fiddle – won the band contest at RenoFest on the fourth weekend of March.

It only takes watching the 6 o' clock news or picking up a copy of the newspaper on any given day to find out that some sort of violence has taken place somewhere in the county, state, country or some other part of the world.
But what if violent tendencies were not limited to just select members of the population? What if every individual in the world gave in to thoughts and acts of violence? One local author considered that fact, and wrote a book in which such an apocalyptic situation becomes real.
Jackie Summers has never been on a hot air balloon ride before, so she added that to her bucket list. On the morning of April 13 she got her wish.
Robert Summers set up the event for his wife, who has a form of cancer. Robert brought a Relay for Life sign with the words "Doctor Driver" to take with them in the basket.

Each spring, Donna White, with the help of her committee, turns a negative into a positive.

That's when the sixth annual Run for Ryan, a Kleine-Levin Syndrome fundraiser and awareness event that includes the county track meet, will be held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Lancaster High School track.
By now, most New Year's resolutions have fallen to the wayside.
I make them every year. This year, after much thought and soul searching, I decided to tackle the hardest resolution of them all: I'm reducing the sodium in my diet.
As far as resolutions go, it doesn't have the popularity of "losing 10 pounds," "paying off debt" or "reading the Bible through."

Four weeks down and I am so glad I did this. I have made some serious progress already, although I have a long way to go. I tend to be a little impatient, so to finally see some significant changes really helps me focus.
NASHVILLE – When Lancaster native Kassie Jordan hits the stage with her band, she knows immediately who the movers and shakers along Music Row are.
Hailed by one critic as "one of the hardest working girls in music around Nashville and a force to be reckoned with," the 2000 Buford High School graduate just released her first CD, "Timing," on Feb. 19.
Sitting in the waiting room at the doctor's office, we were indeed waiting our turn.
I glanced up to see a ghost from my past, whom I hadn't seen since making the final arrangements for my mother and father so many years ago.
My son was oblivious to the man's presence and was engrossed in a story about the recreational upgrades for Indian Land in Wednesday's copy of The Lancaster News.
I nudged my boy and asked, "Hey, you know who that fella is?"

Former Riverside County Sheriff to be laid to rest next weekend
Larry D. Smith died Friday at his La Quinta home after lengthy health troubles
RIVERSIDE, Calif. - Memorial plans were announced Tuesday for a retired Riverside County Sheriff, Larry D. Smith.
Smith, sheriff from 1994-2002, died Friday at his home in La Quinta at the age of 68.
"Larry D. Smith was a bright man," said Riverside County Sheriff Stan Sniff. "Bright enough and humble enough to surround himself with other smart people in Mr. Smith's two terms as sheriff," said Sniff.
A statement from the sheriff's department quoted Smith's wife as saying, "He said that made the team much richer." Toni Smith said, "he didn't have any yes people. He loved debate and he loved discussion because he felt that what would emerge from that was much more robust decision-making that would be more responsive to the needs of the community."
Smith dealt with heart problems dating back to his 30's. He was also fighting bladder cancer and pneumonia.
Smith had previously beaten prostate cancer twice.
He began his career in 1966 as a deputy in Blythe.
Years later, then-Sheriff Cois Byrd encouraged Smith to run for sheriff. Smith was about to earn a law degree and retire to open a practice.
Smith won his first term as the county's 11th elected sheriff and ran unopposed for his second.
During Smith's two-term tenure as sheriff, he helped the county acquire federal government land, now home to the Ben Clark Training Center near March Air Reserve Base.
Toni Smith attributes his mid-western roots and qualities to helping her husband have his name being placed on the Larry D. Smith Correctional Facility in Banning.
Smith is survived by a daughter and two sons.
A memorial service is planned for May 4 at 11 a.m. at the Palm Desert Community Presbyterian Church, 47321 Highway 74 in Palm Desert.

Hazel and Joy
13/02/2013 , 5:53 PM by Clugston Anne
Down the street, across the road or over the back fence there are a thousand stories of friendship, journeys, great loves and life's ups and downs.
In 1940 two little girls met and played together in a school yard at Mount Hawthorn Primary School.
Those two little girls Joy and Hazel were to become lifelong friends.
They socialised together as teenagers and they taught Sunday school together. Even when boys entered their lives that friendship remained strong. Joy met Hank and Hazel met Bob.
Joy married the love of her life. They moved to a sea side suburb, had a family, built their own home and even a yacht together.
History has recorded that Hazel married Bob Hawke who became the 23rd Prime Minister of Australia.
Down the years Joy visited the Lodge and when Hazel was in town she would quietly drop in for a cup of tea and a catch up.
These days Joy often thinks warmly of Hazel and reflects on a friendship that has spanned over 70 years. She told morning show producer Annie Clugston - "When I think of it, they were great days"

hi guys, ive recently been having troubles with my trigger as it was in the wrong position and the gun wasn't cocking properly... i put my co2 in to test if the gun was going to fire and i got a mix of perfect firing and the million recocking shots noise that you get when you are low on gas (full tank at the moment) i fired maybe 150 shots with a 20 oz co2 tank and about 30% were the recocking shots.. i then noticed a hissing sound coming from the gun so i took the tank off and tested to see if their was air left... there was, i then decided to try again but it seemed that there was no air left as the gun was not even attempting to recock it felt like bolt action though there was no hissing... took the tank out and tested for air again.. some but not loads, and tried again... as soon as i got the tank on the air started leaking out the barrell slowly (i was later informed by google this can happen when the air is low?) took the taqnk out again to test for air and it was empty.
do i have a leak or could the gun trying to recock itself have used the gas?
need help

THat shouldn't happen when the tank is low I think you have a minor leak, also I think part of the problem could be that c02 is terrible for the guns even though your gun may say it is usable with c02 always try to use hpa it's not that expensive either it's only 50$ for a 48/3000. But for the leak try replacing some o rings and than try to get a hpa tank they are much better for the gun. Talking about the gun which do you have? I think that would also help us to figure out what is wrong with ur gun

text: Protect public education in Massachusetts by protecting our pensions Massachusetts educators pay more than 90 percent of our own pension costs. All Massachusetts public employees pay the vast majority of their pension costs. And Massachusetts public employees do not receive Social Security, saving taxpayers millions of dollars. In fact, Massachusetts has the lowest state contribution rate in the nation for teachers and the fifth-lowest contribution rate for state employees of the states that do not contribute to Social Security. Despite this, the Legislature will soon consider reducing pension benefits for future educators For years, the state and municipalities were on a "pay-as-you-go basis." Even after reforms in the 1980s resulted in the state beginning to set aside funds for future obligations, not enough money was put into the retirement system. This contribution shortfall resulted in insufficient investment into the system by the state and, as a result, less money earned from investments. Cumulatively, the combination of insufficient funding and the economic downturn resulted in an unfunded liability in FY10 of $20 billion. This is a serious problem that requires a solution, but it must be a balanced solution. Reducing the benefits of future employees is not the answer. We're proud that Massachusetts public schools, colleges and universities are among the best in the nation. We need to continue to attract and retain quality educators so our students can learn and succeed. Asking new educators to take a lesser benefit than you will have during your retirement years is not fair. Tell your representatives and senators it is wrong. Our legislators shouldn't force future public employees to pay for the mistakes of the past. Contact Your Legislators MTA Pension FAQ
