text: I read about something that looked just like that a few months ago. The are supposed to have a trigger that flip downs I think? It was developed by Henry M. Kolb & Charles Foehl in Philadelphia, PA during the years you where referencing. I think the article said in good condition they are worth like 500 bucks. I have no idea on where to get parts, but I know these shoot .22 short. I believe the article with in guns and ammo, I threw it away though after I read it. Maybe this helps..

Two nonprofit organizations, the Center for Public Integrity and the Fund for Independence in Journalism, after an exhaustive examination of documents, public statements and interviews, have concluded President Bush and other Republican administration offiicals led concerning the reasons for war with Iraq. The statements "were part of an orchetrated campaign that effectively galvinized public opinion and, in the process, led the nation to war under decidedly false pretenses." The organizations identifed 935 false statements made by Bush and other governmnent officials. The record indicates they stated unequivoccally on at least 532 occasions that Iraq possessed Weapons of Mass Destruction. According to Charles Lewis and Mark Reading-Smith of the Fund for Independence in Journalism, "the Bush administration led the nation to war on the basis of erroneous information that it methodically propogated and culminated in military action against Iraq on March 19, 2003."
George Bush led with 259 false statements about WMD and 29 about Iraq ties to al-Qaeda. Poor Colin Powell came in second with 244 false statements about WMD and 10 about links to al-Qaeda. There is nothing else one can add to this story.

Hey all,
Been excited to test out whatever painting skills may be hidden dormant when I got my MoW boots delivered. They are not quite done yet, but I wanted to get everyone's opinion. They need some weathering done on the black parts, dirt on the soles, and overall touching up with some accents. Actually, looking back at the pic I took, it's not the best lighting either. :facepalm
This is my first EVER painting job on canvas....or clothing for that matter:p. I am happy so far with how they are turning out. Personally, I think they are a little dark, and nowhere near perfect....and I probably didn't use as many reference photos as I should :wacko, but I think I'll live.
Let me know what you guys think!
Also: many, many thanks to SpideyFett and his awesome CA Boot Weathering Tutorial....I've based everything I've done here on his step by step method!

It's that time of year again… 'tis the season to be thinking about holiday cards and how to capture the perfect photo of your family. So each month leading up to the holidays, we'll be featuring bios, tips and inspiration from some of our contributing photographers, whose work you can see in our cards and invitations on tinyprints.com!
Meet Professional Photographer Bri Anderson
It's still hard for me to call myself a "photographer!" I have truly learned everything I know simply by studying my camera and lots and lots of practice. I bought my first "fancy" camera five years ago, and started practicing on my new baby girl at home. As the years went by, I was taking pictures of my own kids every day, and then slowly started branching out by taking pictures of my friends' kids and families. I officially started my own business two years ago, and I've been growing more and more with each photo session!
Tell us about your photography style…
Natural, bright, whimsical, ethereal and happy. I have recently moved my business more towards maternity and baby photography, and I always find myself looking out the window as I drive… searching for the perfect wide open field and areas of long grasses for my maternity sessions. Those places are hard to find here in Arizona, so it takes a little extra effort to find them!
Favorite place to photograph a family?
Hands-down, my favorite place to photograph a family is in a field of long grass or brush, right at sunset!
Most Memorable Assignment?
My most memorable assignment was a recent maternity session I did with a bunch of GIANT balloons! When I ordered them I had no idea how huge they would be, and my husband had to borrow his parent's motor home just to help me get them to the shoot!
Biggest Challenge in Photographing Kids?
The biggest challenge in photographing kids is trying to keep their attention. They have a very small "window of opportunity" for having their picture taken, so the key to to talk and joke and play around with them so that they don't feel like they are being photographed.
I tell silly jokes, ask them about their favorite Disney characters… I've even been known to turn on cartoons on my iPhone, and have their mom or dad hold it right above my head so they can laugh at cartoons while I take their picture!
Photo-Taking Tips for Tiny Prints Customers
Don't forget ice water and snacks! This is especially for family photo sessions… it is amazing how much the kids will perk up and cooperate when they can have a small break with their favorite sippy cup of water or juice and a few snacks. Works on adults too!
Best Advice for Families Taking Their Holiday Card Photo
The best photos, and the most compliments, come from the images of a family that is relaxed and interacting with one another. Maybe dad is holding one child up on his shoulders while mom leans in and gives the child an eskimo kiss… or a family is snuggled together on a picnic blanket in a field of soft grass… those kinds of images always evoke more emotion, and really show off how the family loves being with one another. As for outfits, I think coordinated colors in the same color family look good—and not necessarily identical outfits.
Tricks for Keeping Kids Engaged
The best way to keep kids engaged and interested during a shoot is by joking with them and talking to them casually, as if you were just visiting with them instead of taking their picture. Keep the session short and easy. Anything over an hour long, the kids start to lose interest!
Best Way to Light an Indoor Photo Shoot
I do all my photography with natural light. When I do a newborn session in a client's home, I open up all the drapes and blinds, and angle the baby so that the light is hitting the top of their head, and angling downward. Placing your subject right next to a window or glass door will provide enough light to light up their face.
Best Lighting/Props for an Outdoor Setting
The best lighting for an outdoor session involves either a rising or setting sun. I prefer to do all my outdoor session about and hour and a half before sunset. I use anything I can find in my location (trees, buildings, lampposts, etc) to block the direct sun, so that my subject's face is shaded, but I'm still getting that golden backlight behind them.
Did you find these tips helpful? Make sure to leave us a comment below, and check back next month for more photography inspiration!

A few folks wondered if I was still taking commissions.
Of course I am, don't be ridiculous.
In fact, I have NO COMMISSIONS ON MY WORKBENCH!!!
Now would be a great time to pad my wallet, I mean get some work done.
I think I'm about through with this MOW pack for MadMartigan.
Unless he wants a wash or two on it, I'll be shipping this out during the week.
These are outside in the warm California sun with a flash to highlight the recesses,Lemme know what everyone thinks.

AMES, Iowa — The Iowa Organic Association and Iowa State University Extension and Outreach Value Added Agriculture Program invite farmers to tour Grain Millers Inc., a small-grain processing facility located in St. Ansgar, Iowa, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m Friday, Feb. 7. The event includes a complimentary meal and educational program on oats and small grains.
As demand for organic food continues to increase and food processors serving the organic market are challenged to find enough organic commodities, the Iowa Organic Association is working to provide support for both Iowa organic farmers and food processors. Tours of organic food processing plants is one way the association is bringing farmers and food processors together.
Grain Millers Inc. is a major manufacturer of organic whole grain ingredients supplied to markets around the world. The company has processing facilities located in Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Mexico, Oregon and Saskatchewan. Barley, oats, rye, wheat and other organic grains are purchased as ingredients. Grain Millers is excited to be selected for this inaugural event, and is sponsoring the meal.
"Many farmers don't know what is involved in turning their load of oats into the many food products that appear on grocery store shelves across the country," said Amber Anderson-Mba, executive director of IOA. "The tour of the milling facility will help farmers understand what happens to their grain after it leaves the farm. High-quality food begins with what happens on the farm, so an increased understanding of processors' needs will help farmers produce organic grains that meet the stringent specifications required for organic processing."
Following the tour, an informational session will discuss the latest market news related to small grains, agronomic tips for producing high yields and high quality, and the latest research related to oats and other small grains. There is no cost for attendance; however, space is limited and reservations are required.
Farmers can register by e-mailing Anderson-Mba at email@example.com or calling 515-708-1813. The Iowa Organic Association is a nonprofit group of individuals, organizations, companies and associations dedicated to the advancement of Iowa's organic production and industry. The IOA has come together to serve as an umbrella association whose goal is to represent all facets and concerns of Iowa's organic farmers, wholesalers, retailers, processors, handlers, educators, researchers, consumers and advocates. More information about this event or the IOA can be found at www.iowaorganic.org.


text: Hey again. I just got the message that the planning will be underway for my 20 year class reunion. We're meeting next week. Just wondering what people think of those- do you go? Do you look forward to them, hate them, etc.? I've always loved reunions. Our class is fairly small and pretty close, so I like to go, and I like to help plan. What are some ideas for successful reunions some of you have had? Anything you've done at a reunion that has really bombed? Thanks!

The Three Graces: 2017 Festival Concept Image
The 2017 Festival is inspired by one of the most famous sculptures of the Antiquities. "The Three Graces" is a late Hellenistic Period, approximately 2nd Century BC, sculpture in marble of the mythological three charities, daughters of Zeus –Euphrosyne, Aglaea and Thalia, who were said to represent beauty, charm and joy. The Charities presided over banquets and gatherings primarily to entertain and delight the guests of the gods.
Therefore, this year's Grand Gala Reception & Dinner will feature the food, wine, arts & culture of the ancient Greeks! Join us for our 8th Anniversary Albany Chefs' Food & Wine Festival: Wine & Dine for the Arts on January 12-14, 2017.

These fit the bill.
Keltec PF9, Kahr PM9, Kahr P9, Kahr CW9 are a couple options to name a few. I'd rather have a Kahr, but the price of the PF9 is mighty attractive to those on a budget. The Kahr PM9 is smaller than the Bersa .380 and the other guns listed and would be the better option for pocket carry. A 3" 1911 is also close in size to the Bersa .380, but I wouldn't want to carry one in a pocket.

Part 1: Introduction
It's a challenge anyone in the movie industry can probably relate to: How do you follow-up an absolute, no-holds-barred, smash? And that issue, too, is most likely the impetus behind Microsoft's surprisingly funny Office 2010: The Movie promotion, in which the company is touting its upcoming office productivity suite as if it were a Hollywood summer blockbuster. Office 2010, following hot on the heels of Office 2007 (see my review), has a lot to live up to. And now that we've pretty much gotten over the innovative but jarring ribbon UI--it's been formally added to virtually all Office applications and services now--there's only one question remaining, and in the context of Microsoft Office, it's sort of a classic: How, exactly, do you improve on a product line that is as mature and full-featured as Office?
The statistics on Microsoft Office are staggering. The suite has a combined 500 million active users worldwide, making it one of the most often-used software products on earth. Every day, tens of millions of people boot up their PCs, not to live in Windows per se, but to live in the core Office applications like Word, Excel, and Outlook. And we're not talking about unattended bits sitting on a hard drive. This is live code that drives productivity, work days, and entire economies, and it does so every single day.
So, once again, the question emerges. How does Microsoft improve something like Office? What can it possibly do to make an update to such a long-lived product line interesting and useful enough to customers that they'll be compelled to upgrade?
Some of the thinking this time around is simple evolution. There are apps in the traditional Office suite that needed to be moved over to the ribbon UI, so that was done. There was plenty of fit and finish work to do across the ribbon since, let's face, last time around was the first-generation version of that technology. And of course, as with any software update, there are always small tweaks and improvements to be made.
But Office isn't just end-user applications. It also consists of mobile applications, servers, and, in this wave, a set of Office Web Applications that will provide users with a free, hosted Office environment that they can access from any PC, using a web browser. With Office 2010, more than ever before, Office is an integrated family of products and services, spanning the PC desktop, (Windows Mobile-based) mobile devices, and, for the first time, the web.
That's the plan at least. This week, Microsoft is releasing the first major public milestone for Office 2010, the so-called Technical Preview, a pre-beta version of the traditional Office suite as well as some of the ancillary end-user applications, like Visio. Coming at a later date will be updated versions of the Office servers, like SharePoint, as well as the Office Web Applications. In this special report, I'll focus largely on what's available now, but I'll also take a peek at some of the Office 2010 technologies you'll see in the months ahead.
Continue with Part 2, Expanding and Improving Office...


text: In summary this series was lost in game one when the Cavs established the tempo and we gave them confidence and in game 5 when we let the road team win. Prior to that game it was so close, either team could have swept the other in 4 and they would have been called ugly wins, but would have been forgotten about once the finals were in full affect. Our inability to ever stretch a lead out more than 5 points in the first four games put the pressure on the pivotal game 5. We did get leads of 8 points on 2-3 occassions, but could never extend it Flips inability to adjust the defense during the crunch time time outs and the overtimes cost us the series and possibly Flips job. That game should have never got to OT and for La bron to disect the D the way he did basically set up the defense for Boobies game 6 heroics.

I have no clue about Anvil vs. AA, but I will say that Im interested in seeing how the new WM will fit for me. I've never been thrilled with the girl's sizes here, though my complaints are fairly minor. Mostly the shirts seem a bit 'boyish', they're not shaped to flatter a girl's figure. Also they shrink like a mofo, so after about 6 months, most of my Woots are too short in the midsection to wear comfortably.
I have always liked the feel of the AA shirts though. They're pretty soft and they stretch well.
I sincerely hope the new shirts arent really bad for me, personally. I love to keep the bulk of my work here on Woot, as this is my tee homebase. If the quality of the tees were to drop significantly I'd be pretty sad . I'll hope for the best though. Cant wait to try one of the new women's sizes! My somewhat lofty sweater cows would appreciate a bit more room to move around. ^_~
I actually LIKE Anvil's fabric - unless they have changed.
I'm extremely disappointed by this change. Having the shirts made in the USA was the *biggest* selling point for me. I didn't care that the price went up, because I liked the shirts. But now you've raised the price and endangered American jobs?
I hate anvil shirts. In response to one post, ProfHotpants said, "It's possible you've worn a different style Anvil shirt. They're not all the same." How very true! Even when you've ordered the same style and size shirt, they're not all the same. Their sizes are inconsistent at best and the quality is terrible. When I ordered a Woot! shirt printed on an AA blank, I knew what I was getting; now I would not feel confident ordering a shirt from Woot!.
This is upsetting on so many levels. I seriously doubt that I will ever buy another shirt from Woot!. Wow, way to ruin my day Woot!.
I bought a few designs at the new price and thought it was still very reasonable seeing as these shirts are super soft and of the AA quality I've come to trust.
I've loved the artists' designs and have seen some of the funniest things to have been printed on cotton come through my mailbox.
But after these last 4+ years of shirt wooting I feel a bit hosed to be honest. If the cost is reduced so greatly going with Anvil for Woot!, I understand the switch, but I really wish we didn't have to stay with the increased price on our end too.
Kinda a sleazy move having us clear out all the AA inventory before dropping the news too. Though I'm a bit more inclined to snatch up a few before they're gone now.

3. I feel manipulated and lied to. This decision has obviously been in the works for a while. In this thread, there is a staffer saying they've been testing Anvil blanks for years. Yet only 36 days ago, when they announced a price increase a Woot staffer said this:
Well said. Point 3 in particular. This is a very unwoot decision. I feel for the artists scheduled for tees over the next few days. I suspect there will be below normal demand until everyone gets angry about the next outrage and goes back to old habits.
1) Raise Price
2) Change Supplier
3) ???
4) Profit!!!!!!!Eleventy1

Anyone have a link to the updated Woman's Sizes? I am a bit worried about the length as shirt.woot was the only place I could get Woman's Tee Shirts that covered my whole Torso.
I have had some AA WM shirts with variable lengths in the past. I'm hoping the new supplier is more consistent.
Narfcake wrote:For those wondering the price difference ...
American Apparel 2001, $6.57 for 60+.
Anvil 980, $3.77 for 60+.
Keep in mind that these prices are NOT at the "I'm a huge customer" price level, but you can certainly see that there's a few bucks difference in it.
For reference, if anyone cares, our price for the Anvil 980 is 2.38/white and 3.31/colors. Woot is a bigger customer than we are, so they're pricing may be even better, but I would expect their cost to be no greater than that.
I'm gonna order in a couple and see what they're like before I do any complaining. I love the AA shirts, but I'm being hopefully optimistic that these Anvil ones are as good as ProfHotpants says.
nmpls wrote:Awesome, worse fitting shirts.
For those of us who are tall, that 1/2 inch is huge. Give me tall shirts or bring back AA shirts.
WTB Tall shirts that 1/2 inch is going to pretty much make me unable to wear woot shirts anymore
profbrendan wrote:Having not worked there I can't tell you from personal experience, but from my understanding it's not so much about how the workers are treated as how the owner, Dov Charney, behaves. He's been hit with several harassment lawsuits due to his beliefs and attitudes toward sex, and the company has generated discrimination controversy by making retail hiring decisions based at least partly on the candidate meeting an appearance standard. Naturally, these incidents have been refuted or explained by others within AA, but they're still out there.
On the other hand, as Narfcake pointed out the manufacturing workers make double the minimum wage, there's apparently a very good benefit package, they promote from within, they seem to be environmentally conscious in reducing their waste, and they have a pretty strong history of promoting equality and immigration reform.
So are they the worst company? No. Are they the best? No. They have some very unique flaws but also make a good product, so ultimately it comes down to whether the consumer is comfortable supporting them.
You can also google "American Apparel Controversy" and read plenty of other stuff about them, some bad and some good, from the past 12 or so years.
Thx for the info!
I wonder if info on Anvil is as readily available...
Well, that's it for me. I loved that there was a great and cool product that was made in the USA that I could buy for presents or just to make someone's day. I won't be buying any more shirts from you.
I haven't read through the entire thread because I am at work, but I wanted to chime in that I am a lady that LOVES AA fitting ladies shirts!! I am skeptical of other sources as well. I've noticed that at places like Emerald City Comicon and PAX in the last two years they have swithched their ladies shirts from AA to Bella, which are much too large in the chest. I'm pear shaped, I have to buy to fit my hips which is generally a large, but my chest is built for a medium shirt. Having a baggy shirt on top is not acceptable. It causes too big arm holes and saggy shoulders and gigantic collars. Because I am built Chest, Waist, Hips 34-29-40 I cannot purchase men's shirts or the bottom is constantly hiked up above my waist (belly shirts went out with the 90s). Don't even get me started on those old babydoll blanks that used to pass as women's shirts.
I will be hoping for a very exact size chart on the women's fit (including a chest/waist/hip measurement if they are not a straight cut) and if after one purchase of the new style they don't fit properly, I'm out. Sorry, I've got bills to pay and limited space I can't buy ill fitting shirts that will just languish in my drawer until the next Goodwill cleaning.
make me happy woot and re-release 'Now Let Me Get This Straight'
i'll buy it on an anvil blank
Now Let Me Get This Straight
I am new to WOOT and I wii not buy a T Shirt from them at any price as long as it is imported!!!!!!!! MADE BY....PAID BY....WORN BY....AN AMERICAN!!!!!
Learn it, and live by it!
I might be joining the others in never buying another woot shirt, but my reasons are entirely different. I am dismayed by the fact that they are moving from a non-union supplier to a mostly-unionized one. The fact that it was an American textile supplier that is non-union was just icing on the cake.
Assuming woot with AA shirts and $10 price-point was operating at a "razor-thin" profit margin as stated by the woot representative earlier, we'll say 5%. That means $.50 profit per shirt. Then they raise the price $2. They just quadrupled their profit. Pretty good, eh? Oh, no, not good enough by half. They then downgrade their shirts to a blank that conservatively has to cost AT LEAST $2-3 dollars less per unit, we'll say 2 to be nice. They are now making $4.50 profit. That is NINE TIMES the profit they were making per shirt two months ago.
I have no problem with woot making a decent profit, they aren't running a charity. I do find it rather hard to believe that a 800% increase in profit/shirt over a two month period is justifiable.
This annoys me. Being 6"1 the AA size L shirt fits me perfectly, a lot of other shirts (including the Anvil shirts I have) are too short in size L and much too wide in XL. I've also never had a problem with AA shirts shrinking, certainly not in the length, so that also seems like a red herring to me.
I had recently made the decision to just impulse buy whichever Woot design comes up that I even remotely like, either for myself or the kids - I have a hard time finding T-shirts and these just fit well, so I figured I might as well stockpile a few. Needless to say that decision is now reversed, starting today.
As some others have stated, I'd much prefer another $2 or even a $3 price hike to this. I am also very dissatisfied with the bait-and-switch of first announcing that you're raising prices to keep the quality the same, and then barely a month later switching to a cheaper blanks supplier.
I use the ringspun Anvil blanks in my store. They are actually pretty soft and everyone has been very happy with them. I was secretly hoping they would be woot's choice since they need to make the change.
catrionab90 wrote:So...just putting this out there...what about colors? I'm sure the colors will all change somewhat as colors vary from brand to brand. Will there be a new color palette available, and will there be new colors options that weren't available before?
Right now, we are offering the same palette of shirt colors. In the coming weeks there will be slight transitions on a couple of the colors (the new "silver" color may be a tiny bit different for example), but the basic palette will remain the same.
I'm very excited for the possibilities of adding new shirt colors in the future, especially limited run colors for specific events/designs.

couldn't agree more. we want Belgian shirts, printed in Belgium, designed by Belgian artists.
I never realized that Woot had so many large-breasted customers. No wonder its such a terrific place to work!

I think a limited run color for a derby might be really cool.
I'd like to see a derby wherein you specify a metallic ink that we'd be allowed to use in moderation too, by the way. we don't have enough robot shirts, after all.
I too think it's strange the $2 increase and now this. My purchases will be affected I am sure.
Aside from the already stated issues, I need to bring up another. Will the new black shirts repel cat hair any better than the current AA? Those seem to be hair magnets!

Since you guys are still working with AA on other products... what are our chances of seeing some AA triblend t-shirt reprints? :D
And obviously new shirt colors via Anvil would be rad as well.
I love it...of all the 100% legit questions the community has been asking, the one the staff answers is about shirt colors. lol.

Because that's the least likely to piss off people more than they already have. Which is uh, actually pretty decently.
I'd take a truthful post that doesn't make me happy over the deafening silence (with the random "I'm so excited about Anvil!!" comment mixed in for good measure) we've been getting so far.
While I realize I am beating a dead horse, the $2 additional cost was passed off as a way to increase the thin profits and keep the American supplier. Now that the American supplier is being kicked to the curb, profits are going up even more so you guys can sell more sweatshirts? This does not make any sense.
How is this anything else besides a larger profit grab that sells out American workers?
Yay Anvil!
I actually wouldn't know if I had any Anvil shirts or not, how would I tell?
Does this mean the women's sizes will actually fit women, not small children?
Oh my god. Is it "Everyone Go Bat-s*** Crazy Day" on the internet and I just missed the memo? Calm down! First of all, 1st World Problem - have some perspective. Second, you all sound like you're losing your minds prematurely.
Some of you have worn Anvil shirts in the past and didn't like them. So? As has been said about 100 times in this thread, there are DIFFERENT BLANKS offered by the same company. Maybe you'll like these. $12 is not a lot of money to spend on ONE shirt. Try it. If you don't like it, your complaints will probably have a lot more weight. In the meantime, jumping on the "whine whine I hate change this is the worst thing ever" bandwagon does absolutely no good.
Yes, Woot wants to make more money. So do I and so do you, so stop with the hypocritical complaints about the price change. If you don't want to spend the money ... DON'T! What is the point of yelling about it in every relevant thread? Do you really think Woot will drop the price?
I'm willing to bet there are a lot of things about Woot that people don't like. Personally, I don't like that there's no shopping cart feature. Oh well. No expedited shipping for me. I wish they sold Big & Tall shirts so my husband could have a cool shirt once in a while. Oh well. No Woot shirts for him. That's the way it is. I would be absolutely gobsmacked if there was anyone anywhere who liked everything about any single company. Ever.
Chill out. Go outside, get some fresh air. Have a beer. Pet your dog. We have at least 10 more months until the end of the world, and I'm pretty sure no one will die over this.
Rub the lamp and ask for whirled peas.
$10 awesome shirts were a buy with out thinking.
$12 awesome shirts were eehh, ok I'll buy.
$12 not so awesome shirts, eehh, probably not.
what do you expect from the mods? that they made a mistake and they're reverting back to AA? or they're gonna bring the price to $10 ?
Obviously, this has been in the pipeline for a long time. And they're prepared for the angry but legit comments.
It will just take a meme or "glow in the dark" (conveniently, today's print covers both) to bring the sale back to regular numbers.
Very interesting thread. I didn't realize there were so many rabid shirt.woot fans: I tend to hang out more over at the main site and wine.woot. I can understand the obesssion with buying large quantities of wine: it doesn't last as long as a shirt.
This having been said, I certainly see the main issues that are being raised. Let me say straight off that I don't, per se, have a significant issue with good made overseas. I prefer American made goods, but understand that trade is a good thing. I certainly see that the double whammy of a 20% price increase combined with a change in supplier to one which is at least percieved as being inferior quality and coming from overseas cheap labor was not a very wise PR move. That is the polite way of saying What in hell were you thinking!
Personally, I was never enamored with the AA shirts. I thought they fit OK, but they were very thin and felt fragile. I have a few and am constantly afraid that they are going to rip. The one sweatshirt I have is nice, but it hasn't held up well. It started out black and 7 cold washings with gentle detergent later it is already noticibly faded. Boo. So maybe this is a move in the right direction.
The bigger issue is the price, generally. This is shirt.woot. I expect everything here to have a very high QPR. Bumping it 20% very much changes the equation. I don't see very many purchases in the future. Maybe some random tees sell off, but not at full price, and certainly not at the reckoning price. Ouch.

Bumping it and changing for cheaper blanks*
I'm sad to see the AA shirts go, but I'm glad that I can buy a whole bunch of blanks on the cheap right now
I'd really like to be able to buy a complete set of blank Woot tees, but I don't want to go with the chances of getting six different random three packs and getting six oranges. Would anyone else be willing to pay around $90 (6 3-packs) to guarantee you'd have a full Woot wardrobe with every color? I would ABSOLUTELY plunk down some cash for that, but I don't want one if I can't have 'em all!
Anyone else with me?

I hate this "1st World Problem" crap. I live in America. When I move to some 3rd World toilet and lie starving in the gutter I'll worry about perspective. Until then, I'll complain about whatever I want, especially when it concerns where I spend my money.
Some of you have worn Anvil shirts in the past and didn't like them. So?
If you don't want to spend the money ... DON'T! What is the point of yelling about it in every relevant thread?
Every relevant thread? You mean, just this one, where the Woot staff asked for our opinions?
Do you really think Woot will drop the price?
Market sets the price. Although, no one's Katie Kabooming about the price increase...just the (possible) quality drop.
I haven't had time to read the whole thread as I'm at work and just taking a bit of a lunch break. I don't necessarily have a problem with Anvil shirts which I take it are made in Honduras with verifiably good working conditions for the workers who receive a good wage. Granted, not as good a wage as AA workers get. Yet, AA has some other issues as well not the least of which is the smarmy owner as any quick google search will reveal. At the end of the day, I buy shirts from woot because of the artwork and I do so without regard to where the artist calls home, not for any patriotic reason. As long as Woot is guaranteeing their blanks will continue to be made under fair, equitable transparent working conditions, then I don't see a problem.

Public helps save Independence Museum in Exeter
By MICHAEL COUSINEAU
New Hampshire Union Leader | March 17. 2014 7:35PM
Four paid staffers were laid off in late 2012, and the museum — celebrating New Hampshire's role in the nation's founding — suspended operations because it was losing money.
Williams, who was hired in April 2013, said the community rallied around its museum, which opened June 1 last year, a month later than normal.
"We made a lot of progress in 2013," said Allison Field, president of the museum's board of governors. "It was a year of transition, rebuilding and reinvigoration."
A record 176 memberships were purchased, a 14 percent increase over 2009, the previous highest year. There also was more than a 100 percent increase in the museum's annual fund revenues.
"We're really investing in our marketing this year," she said. "We feel the biggest challenge for this museum is people don't know we exist."
"If we lost that, we lose a major story telling of our position in the American Revolutionary War," he said.This year, the museum hopes to add a third part-time employee with a budget prediction to "hopefully break even for the year," Williams said.

text: So Ben sits down, Kevin Duke is next to me and Waheed is across. Banter begins and all we do is talk bikes, racing, traveling and more bikes. Mr. Spies was super cool. He was suffering from allergies and not feeling very well, but expended the last amount of energy he had talking to all of us. We talked a little about long rides (cycling, he's a rabid cyclist) and he entertained the table with some pretty f'in funny stories of him and Schwantz and bloody hotel rooms (literal, not figurative). And he talked about some of the downsides of being a professional motorcycle racer...like the fact that you spend months out of the year on planes and in airports. You definitely could tell that he was a little shy, not exactly comfortable with attention and very modest. Anyone who didn't know who he was would think he was just a normal guy from Texas. Absolutely riveting to see someone with superhuman abilities who doesn't think everyone around him is a demi-human. The Ben Spies Method, in action. Great guy and I wish him much luck in 2013 and beyond. Once dinner was over I figured all the journalists would head to strip clubs and bars, but everyone piled into the elevators and up to our rooms we went. What a bunch of professionals! Alarming and refreshing. These guys take their jobs seriously. I walk into the lobby and see this: I get restless and need to roam. Yes, I know what's coming in the AM, but I can't sleep so I wander around Austin, which I've now spent more time in than any other city outside of places of residency. Lots of good memories. And a little sorrow, perhaps: At night cities stop. SF stops. NY stops. Paris stops. So of course Austin does, too. Maybe not on Friday and Saturday, but on Mon, Tues, Wed, Sun, denizens and party-goers, coeds, bus drivers, business people and anyone else who feels the sting of responsibility, retreat. I wandered alone in the cold and saw a total of three people. Surreal, tantalizing. At night, in solitude, the world reveals so much more than it does in the presence of others. The morning felt like Christmas in a shuttle filled with a bunch of 9 year olds heading to the North Pole. If there was a Lexus "December to Remember" or a "De Beers" ad that aspired to answer the question, "how can I show how much I appreciate, love and appreciate (yes, I said it twice) my man, the love of my life?," this is what it would look like, minus the glare on the perspiration-coated bus window: Unfortunately there's less women in the world who ask that question than there are 1199 Rs in existence. The only way to not feel slighted for all your unrewarded good deeds is to buy one for yourself. x

Location: Mycotoxin Prevention and Applied Microbiology ResearchTitle: Microbial detoxification of mycotoxins Author
Submitted to: Journal of Chemical Ecology
Publication Type: Review Article
Publication Acceptance Date: 7/2/2013
Publication Date: 8/13/2013
Citation: McCormick, S.P. 2013. Microbial detoxification of mycotoxins. Journal of Chemical Ecology. 39(7):907-918. Interpretive Summary: Mycotoxins are fungal toxins, produced in mold-infested grains, nuts, fruits, and other agricultural commodities, which adversely affect the health of vertebrate animals. Microbes that can break down mycotoxins have been found in soil, infected plants, and the intestines of animals. Enzymes from bacteria or fungi that degrade mycotoxins have been used in food and feed production. Genes for mycotoxin degradation have been engineered into plants to limit pre-harvest contamination of crops. This review describes microbial detoxification of aflatoxin, zearalenone, deoxynivalenol, patulin, fumonisin, and ochratoxin.
Technical Abstract: Mycotoxins are fungal natural products that are toxic to vertebrate animals. Microbes have been identified that enzymatically convert aflatoxin, zearalenone, ochratoxin, patulin, fumonisin, deoxynivalenol, and T-2 toxin to less toxic products. Mycotoxin-degrading fungi and bacteria have been isolated from agricultural soil, infested plant material, and animal digestive tracts. Biotransformation reactions include acetylation, glucosylation, ring cleavage, hydrolysis, deamination, and decarboxylation. Microbial mycotoxin degrading enzymes have been used to decontaminate agricultural commodities. Some detoxification genes have been expressed in plants to limit the pre-harvest production and phytotoxic effects of mycotoxins. Toxin-deficient mutants may be useful in assessing the role of mycotoxins in the ecology of the microorganisms.

Notebook: Green Bay's Bench Steps Up During Winning Streak
By Justin Grones (@JustinGrones)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Green Bay women's basketball team (RV/RV, 14-2, 4-0 HL) is currently riding a nine-game winning streak, and although the team's offense hasn't always been as productive as head coach Kevin Borseth would like to be, the Phoenix is leading the nation in scoring defense at just 46.7 points allowed per game. Green Bay's entire roster has found ways to contribute during the winning streak, even after losing key reserve Kaili Lukan (Barrie, Ontario) for the season due to a knee injury.
It was Lukan's electrifying performance in a comeback win at Marquette on Dec. 8 that helped spark the winning streak after the freshman scored six points and grabbed a game-high six steals while playing a career-high 17 minutes. She entered the game at Wright State on Jan. 12 averaging 1.5 points and 1.2 rebounds per game, but a knee injury midway through the second half would sideline her for the rest of the season, leaving a void in Borseth's bench rotation.
"To start the year we worried about how we were going to replace Julie Wojta, but then when Kaili got hurt we had to worry replacing someone as tough and feisty as her on defense," Borseth said.
Despite having one less player on the roster, Green Bay's starters and reserve players have continued the team's streak of defensive dominance, allowing just 46.7 points per game-the nation's best mark. During the past nine games, the Phoenix has given up an average of only 41.1 points per game and hasn't allowed an opponent to shoot better than 38.8 percent from the field, keeping opponents at an average mark of 30.7 percent.
In the win against Wisconsin on Dec. 23, the Phoenix held its in-state rival to just 10 points in the first half, setting a new mark in Badgers' history for fewest points scored in a half. Three games later, Green Bay doubled-up Detroit 62-31, allowing the third-fewest points by an opponent in the last 30 years. The win was the third time during the winning streak an opponent scored in the thirties. Green Bay has held opponents under 50 points in 12 of 16 games this season, and in every game of the winning streak.
Redshirt junior Breannah Ranger (Skokie, Ill.) has led Green Bay's bench during the winning streak scoring 7.2 points per game on 52.8 percent shooting. Ranger recorded her first career double-double in the win against Wright State, scoring 12 points and grabbing 11 rebounds. For the season, Ranger leads the Phoenix in field goal percentage at 52.3 percent.
Senior leadership has been provided off the bench from Jenny Gilbertson (Wabasha, Minn.), who has averaged 3.4 points per game on 50.0 percent shooting during the streak. In the 59-41 win at Youngstown State on Jan. 19, Gilbertson tied a season high after hitting three attempts from behind the arc. In addition to hitting three of four attempts from downtown, Gilbertson also blocked a season-high two shots.
With one less guard on the bench, redshirt junior Sam Zastrow (Algoma, Wis.) has stepped her game up and become a solid backup to starting point guard Megan Lukan (Barrie, Ontario). Zastrow scored her first points of the year against St. Bonaventure on Jan. 5 after driving through the entire Bonnies' defense for the layup. She played a career-high 18 minutes at Youngstown State, where she grabbed three rebounds and added three assists and two steals. Although she didn't score, she gained praise from Borseth for her vision of the court on offense and stingy play on defense.
The Phoenix, now receiving votes in both the AP Top-25 and USA Today Coaches' Poll, will look for its 10th straight win and continued team effort at Valparaiso on Saturday, Jan. 26 with a 1:35 central time tip. The four-game road stretch concludes with the second meeting of the season against Wright State on Monday night in Dayton, Ohio.

That was about 35 years ago and I still remember the Dog's name (because the guy yelled it about 200 times that day), Flash. I guess he expected the dog to know how to retrieve a duck since it was a lab.

Outsource to experts CONCERN HAS BEEN EXPRESSED by political groups and experts alike that many municipalities continue to battle debt and skills shortages, with unacceptably high municipal debt undermining service delivery.
A national business process outsourcing strategy that leverages the expertise and systems of an external service provider to supply and manage an organisation's non-core functions would go a long way in solving this dilemma.
South African municipalities are currently R28 billion in debt, a figure that the auditor general has attributed to poor financial management and a lack of proper processes. A solid credit control and debt collection policy would be the first step in helping to alleviate this situation.
Business process outsourcing providers are service-oriented, which means they are able to help customers transform their businesses by leveraging third-party expertise.
Why should municipalities attempt to set up internal credit management facilities when they can simply hand the job over to specialists? By doing so, municipalities can identify and focus on their key deliverables and their service to citizens.
Credit management and debt collection rely on strong back-office processing capabilities and expertise in bulk data management and transaction volumes, coupled with a robust call centre.
By partnering with a specialist credit management BPO provider, municipalities can form relationships with companies who have the ability to deliver. There is no substitute for having access to the right information at the right time.
BPO optimises business performance by reducing costs and increasing service quality. It helps companies to focus on their core areas and avoid unnecessary capital expenditure.
It also provides quantifiable benefits through improved efficiencies, lower overheads, and reduced payroll and benefit expenses. One of the top advantages of BPO is that it enables access to proprietary workflow systems, process reengineering skills, and innovative staffing and delivery models, coupled with world-class technology delivered by experts in their fields.
But municipalities considering outsourcing must first identify the processes core to their business and retain control of them.

Councilwoman scolds council, mayor in Colorado Springs
Helen Collins expresses concern about crime on city's SE side
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - More attention to citizen issues -- and less bickering and unnecessary spending -- is the challenge laid down to city elected leaders by Colorado Springs Councilwoman Helen Collins.
Collins, one of the newer council members, delivered a strong statement at Tuesday's meeting before the votes on whether to raise utility rates and give a hefty raise to the utility's top executive.
"I represent District 4 on the southeast side," she said. "The citizens of the southeast side are being gunned down. People are dying. Last week, we had a person gunned down at Circle and Airport -- and City Hall's talking and spending hundreds of millions on museums, sports and other tourist traps. We don't need more pay raises, we need more paying attention. We don't need more managers of desks, we need more police on patrol."
The council didn't respond to Collins' statement. However, on Wednesday, the Colorado Springs Police Department said it would further study her remarks before commenting on them. Collins said she has spoken with police about her concerns.
The city's southeast side, much to the dislike of many of its residents, has often been labeled "the bad part of town" because of crime. A retired couple who lives there said they agree with Collins that the area has been neglected and needs more attention.
"I don't think there's enough attention devoted to citizens' concerns," said Jane Evans and her husband, Wilfred Wright. "We think we've lost quite a bit since we got a strong mayor (form of government). We're the neighborhood that loses first when they decide to cut something. They cut ours the very day they announce it. (We) used to feel very, very safe. But lately we've had SWAT activity in the area, in the neighborhood."
The couple said they haven't moved out of the area because it would be too expensive and they like living in their close-knit neighborhood along Sorrento Drive near the intersection of Chelton Road.
The couple also said they don't know Collins and haven't met her but don't believe sharing their concerns with her would lead to results.
During Tuesday's meeting, a concern about the northeast side of town being neglected was expressed by Councilmen Don Knight and Joel Miller. They responded to a plan by the city Parks Department to apply for a $1 million grant for the Legacy Loop trail and park project in the center of town.
Knight and Miller said they support the project but would like to see similar projects on the northeast side, which they say doesn't have enough parks and trails.
The Parks Department responded by saying it plans to develop the 30-acre Venezia Park on the northeast side, at the corner of Briargate Parkway and Union Boulevard, when funding allows.

The University will offer a new graduate degree program that awards a Master of Business Administration with a concentration in Educational Administration, designed for aspiring principals in the Houston Independent School District.
The proposed curriculum consists of 31 credit hours of business courses and 18 credit hours of education courses. Those admitted to the program must be nominated by HISD and have three to five years of teaching experience and at least a 3.0 GPA.
Dr. Nora Hutto, dean of the School of Education, said the program was designed at the request of HISD in an effort to better prepare their teachers for leadership positions in education.
"Superintendant Dr. Terry Grier contacted the University, seeing a need for principals to have a background in business and finance, yet still wanting to maintain the integrity of the instructional leader," she said.
Out of the 60 applications received in September, 15 students were accepted. Classes for the inaugural cohort began in January and are taught by professors from both UST's Cameron School of Business and the School of Education.
Dr. Hutto said the faculty of the two schools are working closely to develop the outcomes and curriculum.
"It's a real collaborative effort to make sure that we're meeting the goals set out for the program," she said.
Graduates of this two-year program will have the business, education and management skills needed for running successful urban schools, and they will earn principal certification.
"I think it speaks so well of the district, that they're identifying the needs of leaders and partnering with the University of St. Thomas," she said. "It's a unique opportunity to educate executive leaders with a background in business and education."
For more information, contact Dr. Nora Hutto at email@example.com or Dr. Natalya Delcoure at email@example.com.

I posted this in another category, but figured I would open it local also. I am working with a vendor on a roll of 1000D Cordura in Coyote Brown or Khaki. I am leaning towards Khaki, but it sells out fast. It's one color or the other. Both are Polyurethane coated. The roll is massive and I will have plenty of extra to go around. If there is interest, I am willing to extend the same deal I am getting to others here on the forum. Below are the colors. With shipping I am paying $3.70 a yard. If interested, I would cut to the yard requested for local pickup. Or, I could ship on your dime.

ANIMAL FACTS - Tasmanian Devils
Tasmanian Devils only live for about five to six years, but are incredibly active.
Tasmanian Devils are the largest living carnivorous marsupial (Dasyurid) in Australia. They have sharp powerful claws and a backward facing pouch. Each devil has distinctive white markings on their chest, which can be used like a fingerprint to identify individuals.
(Sarcophilus harrisii)
Tasmanian Devils are the largest living carnivorous marsupial (Dasyurid) in Australia. They have sharp powerful claws and a backward facing pouch. Male devils have a head to body length of 652mm. Females are smaller, reaching only 570mm in length. Male Tasmanian Devils can weigh up to 12kg, and females up to 10kg. Each Devil has distinctive white markings on their chest, which is used like a fingerprint to identify individuals.
More than 5000 years ago, Tasmanian Devils were common on mainland Australia. Today, they are only found in Tasmania. They are however, found in virtually every type of habitat occurring in Tasmania, including suburban fringes. As Tasmanian Devils are shy, nocturnal creatures they are rarely seen in the wild.
Tasmanian Devils often scavenge dead animals (carrion) found on roadsides. Sadly, many of them are hit by cars while feeding. Tasmanian Devils travel up to 16km in search of food. They can devour an entire prey item, bones and all! A male Tasmanian Devil is capable of consuming one quarter of its own body weight in one feeding session.
Female Tasmanian Devils commonly raise two young at one time. Joeys live in the pouch for almost four months. Once they emerge, joey devils remain in a den for a further few months, before leaving to learn the skills required for survival.

Massport unveils new Rental Car Center at Boston Logan
Diesel powered shuttle buses eliminated from the airport roadway and replaced with fuel efficient clean hybrid buses
BOSTON – The Massachusetts Port Authority today unveiled the new $310 million Rental Car Center at Boston Logan International Airport. The 120,000 square foot customer service center and four level garage will have space for all nine rental car companies -- Advantage, Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, National and Thrifty -- that have operating agreements with Logan to work in one common building.
The RCC includes a new unified shuttle bus system operated by Massport. On Sept. 25, diesel powered rental car buses will be eliminated entirely from the airport roadway as bus traffic drops from about 100 buses per hour to 28 fuel efficient clean hybrid buses. As a result, shuttle bus vehicle miles are expected to drop by 70 percent with an accompanying 35% decline in airport-related emissions. Another environmental benefit is all rental car companies with operating agreements at Logan will now be on airport, reducing traffic and emissions on Route 1A. Enterprise and Thrifty have now moved on to the airport.
"Building a safe, healthy, and sustainable transportation system is a priority of Governor Patrick and critical to everything we do at MassDOT," said MassDOT Transportation Secretary and CEO Richard A. Davey. "This new Rental Car Center and fuel efficient clean hybrid buses fit perfectly with those broader environmental goals."
The new bus system brings customer service benefits because departing passengers will be dropped off on the upper level of their airline's terminal where they can then proceed directly to ticketing, baggage drop and security. Shuttle buses will pick up arriving passengers on the lower level of each terminal before taking them to the RCC or MBTA Airport Blue Line Station. The new shuttle system is expected to reduce terminal curbside congestion by making bus loading and unloading simpler and quicker. Starting Sept. 25, passengers taking the Blue Line to the airport will notice that the first stop on the shuttle will be at the RCC to pick up rental car customers.
"The opening of the RCC is an opportunity to improve customer service and get passengers to their destinations faster," said Massport CEO Thomas P. Glynn. "It also allows for the opportunity to rationalize the terminal curb assignments benefiting customers and neighbors with an integrated bus service."
In advance of the opening of the RCC, Massport introduced new color-coded signage in the terminals to direct passengers to new terminal curb assignments. As part of the curb changes to promote high occupancy vehicle use, stops for the Silver Line and Blue Line shuttle buses are now closer together and in the middle of the terminal curb. Overhead countdown clocks tell passengers when the next bus is arriving. Digital signage inside the terminals, already in place in Terminal C and parts of B, and to be rolled out airport-wide in the months to come, tell passengers when the next bus is and where to pick it up. New color-coded signage will direct passengers to the transportation mode they desire. Some 20 extra staff in brightly colored "Ask Me'' shirts are stationed in the terminals and on the curbs to assist passengers.
To improve customer service and monitor roadway and curb activity, a new Operations Center in the RCC has the ability through a series of video displays to track roadway traffic, passenger demand along the terminal curbs and taxi queues as well Logan Express routes and MBTA Silver Line buses on the airport roadway.
The RCC was designed to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification by the U.S. Green Building Council. The new facility features 616 solar panels on the roof of the garage providing 150 kilo watts of power. The LEED rating system offers certification levels for new construction that correspond to green design categories: sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources and indoor environmental quality. Achieving LEED certification demonstrates that a building project is truly green. Along with rental car operations, the RCC also has a community meeting room for East Boston residents.
Boston Logan, 15 minutes from the intersection of Route 128 and I-90 and five minutes from downtown Boston, serves as the gateway to the New England region and offers nonstop service to 75 domestic and 34 international destinations and in 2012 handled 29.3 million passengers. Boston Logan is served by two public transit lines and is the Air Line Pilot Association's Airport of the Year for 2008 because of its commitment to safety. Over the past decade, the airport spent $4.5 billion on a modernization program that includes new terminals, public transportation access, parking facilities, roadways and airport concessions, and has been transformed into a world-class 21st Century facility. The airport generates $7 billion in total economic impact each year.

Ok a little back story. I got a new nuc on April 15th it was a 4 frame nuc. I drive it home and set up the hive and everything is going well I think. I mean there are bees everywhere. I pop it open one day with no smoker and protection. I of course got stung RIGHT on the end of my nose. I was visiting with my neighbor who has had bees for several years. He told me to wait a couple weeks to put the other deep on. So I waited for my other set of frames and foundation to come in, which took a couple weeks. I finally get everything all assembled and I still don't have a smoker (which is a whole thread in its self) so I ask my neighbor to come out and help me put on this other deep. We crack open the hive and the bees have all the frames built out. Neighbor starts looking through the hive and tells me they are out of room, mad, and trying to swarm. He showed me all the queen cells and swarm cells. We clean everything up and put the other deep on the bottom with two frames of brood in it and then the full deep on top. Well I FINALLY get a smoker yesterday. Now I checked the beez 3 days after the inspection with my neighbor and it didn't appear they were building back any queen cells.So today I crack open the hive to see how things are coming. It's been 2 weeks since the last inspection. In the top deep I see brood, larve, and a frame full of eggs. I also find about three queen cells that are uncapped and what I THINK are some swarm cells on the bottom of that frame. So I destroy those and put everything back. In the bottom deep (the one we added lately) all but four of the frames are built out and there are no eggs yet in the ones that are built out. So my question is, are they still trying to swam? Are they superceeding the queen and should I let them? Also how long after brood is capped does it hatch to a bee? I think thats all I got for now.Chappy
From my experience as a second year Beek, you will get at least four different perspectives on what to do next.
Ok.... short talk time.First, I just want to say that indeed splitting (especially many hives is extremely costly if you have no spare woodwork or foundation) that aside, I see nothing wrong with letting some hives go feral in a small be yard - nature isn't fighting over resources in a basic backyard beekeeper's yard, especially if you are properly feeding your bees where others cannot get to the food. Letting a swarm go and possibly survive is how nature intended, isn't it?No... Brian, please keep such comments to yourself, anything the mods do here they do through input from members in posts to moderators and personal observations. We handle the forum quite well and you surely have been around long enough to see many times we have dealt with things we see as "situations" your post here does little more that stir up Joelel into coming back with words of equal pot stirring - which he better not. Please let us do our job STEALTHLY as we tend to do.Joelel, your reply wasn't much more than self gratifying bantor, if you have something to say, then say it. I cringe everytime my yard wants to expand and I'm not ready for it, it is a difficult situation to deal with, and often one that many members here can not monitarily justify. You've had lots to say elsewhere, try adding some helpful replies, not just telling us how perfectly you handle a situation on the fly.Chappy99, I only ask two things of new members, 1 they be nice to each other, and 2 that they post their location in their profile (the profile button is located a few tabs over from the home button below your avatar image) click on it then click on the PROFILE INFORMATION LINK - you will see where you can add info about yourself, just add a location or anything else you wish. Thanks.

Few people have heard of frontotemporal disorders, which lead to dementias [1] that affect personality, behavior, language, and movement. These disorders are little known outside the circles of researchers, clinicians, patients, and caregivers who study and live with them. Although frontotemporal disorders remain puzzling in many ways, researchers are finding new clues that will help them solve this medical mystery and better understand other common dementias.
The symptoms of frontotemporal disorders [2] gradually rob people of basic abilities—thinking, talking, walking, and socializing— that most of us take for granted. They often strike people in the prime of life, when they are working and raising families. Families suffer, too, as they struggle to cope with the person's daily needs as well as changes in relationships and responsibilities.
This booklet is meant to help people with frontotemporal disorders, their families, and caregivers learn more about these conditions and resources for coping. It explains what is known about the different types of disorders and how they are diagnosed. Most importantly, it describes how to treat and manage these difficult conditions, with practical advice for caregivers [3]. See the list of resources [4] at the end of the booklet.
