About Me
[willing to travel- HAWAII, CALIFORNIA, UTAH]
I am a modern day Gypsy, I have moved over 9 times and my adventures just happen to lead me here to SIN CITY where the doors to the modeling world have been opened for me.
My name is Lindsey Mitchell and I am passionate beyond belief, passion runs through everything I do, i love art (painting is my release), fashion (espsecially Badgley Mischka), and more than anything else modeling (i find it exhilarating)
Most of my experience thus far has been in tradeshow modeling but i'm young and driven so I see big things in my future. I'm not trying to become an icon, a star, or a househeld name (though those would all be nice) my only goal right now is to be somebodys muse to inspire them, together creating amazing photos.
Right now I would love to do MORE work with make-up artists and Hair stylists! I want to do wierd, interesting, funky kind of shoots!
p.s. NO to nude and YES to amazing, cool, edgy and trendy!
Please contact me with any ideas, job offers or questions @ email@example.com or on this site.

Was lucky enough to get David Drake in the house on a Sunday night, and got there early enough to enjoy the soft shell crab tempura style before they would inevitably run out...will make this a spot in the rotation for sure. Perched above the lake facing west for some sunset dining, with a top flight chef who is now cooking such a more basic, yet at the same time nuanced menu, I imagine this place will be packed all summer. Get there now before the crowds do.

I'm a male, age 19, and I'm quite hairy all over. I'm very interested in getting hair PERMANENTLY removed just on my neck, back, pubic & butt area. Now - what about THINNING OUT/REDUCING hair? Because I'd like to do that on my arms, legs, and face. What sort of difference can I expect if I got just 2-3 treatments done in those areas? More specifically, what would be the diference on my face? Cause I'd hope it would help in making it less of a hassle to shave my face so often as I currently do

Laser Treatment Accomplishes Permanent Hair Reduction
Dear Writer, Laser Treatment Accomplishes Permanent Hair Reduction. Almost never does laser treatment achieves complete permanent hair elimination. With three treatments, however, you may still see a nice reduction in the number and thickness of hair. This may be aesthetically more acceptable to you, and much easier to wax or shave if you ever consider these treatments.

Happy Day, with Dizzy Spell
Happy July!
Today's the twenty-first anniversary of my self-marriage ceremony, and the twelfth anniversary of our move into the house. I spent the day relaxing on the new deck: knitting, listening to my current audiobook, and even doing a bit of writing (although not, alas, on the novel).
It was a very pleasant day, although I may have overdone the sitting outside -- even though I was in the shade and pushing fluids -- because at the end of my early-evening (6 PM) walk, I felt really weak and shaky. That's the second time that's happened, actually. The first time was during a much longer and more strenuous walk Gary and I took a few weeks ago. It's sufficiently odd and worrisome that I'll probably call my doctor tomorrow. I decided not to go to Urgent Care tonight because I didn't have a temperature, and my heart rate and blood oxygen were both fine (I kept Dad's oximeter), and I felt better after eating something, although I'd eaten my usual amount during the day, so my blood sugar shouldn't have been unusually low. It wasn't especially hot, either.
Weird. But at least I feel better now.
In other news, Dad's military records finally turned up -- in the effects of his estranged second wife, of all places -- so the Coast Guard scattering should go as planned, weather permitting.
I'm desperately behind on any number of projects; what else is new? But my mood's good and I've been exercising every day, so on the whole, I'm happy.

it was five years ago that i first heard God speak to me. forty years an atheist, born to atheists and raised an atheist and i'm minding my own business and all of a sudden i'm miles and miles from home and suddenly in prayer.
i do not know yet how i will observe the date, but i do wish to make an observance.

The health care bill that was narrowly passed Sunday will likely cause employers to cut back on hiring, increase taxes for millions of Americans and put health care decisions in the hands of bureaucrats, Congressman Jerry Lewis said.
"My constituents want and need health care reforms that keep costs down while ensuring that everyone has access to treatment and medical care," Lewis said. "But Nancy Pelosi and her leadership have created a massive new government program that will lead to government-run health care and add trillions to the national debt in the coming years."
"It is clear that the American people do not want a nationalized health care system. But the House majority has turned their backs on the American taxpayer and pushed through one of the most massive government programs in history," Lewis said. "I fear that many businesses will put off hiring new workers because they have to pay for this new government mandate."
"We have started down the path to government-run health care, a path that could be a disaster for small business, taxpayers and the overwhelming majority of Americans who have said they want to keep their current health-care plans."
"Our medical system is the envy of the world, and we can fix problems like ensuring that no one is denied health care because of a pre-existing condition without destroying what we have," Lewis said. "I fear that the plan rammed through the House by Speaker Pelosi will destroy that world-class system."
Lewis supports a plan that would allow individuals to buy health care across state lines, create insurance pools to help small businesses buy affordable policies for their employees, and establish new limits to the kinds of junk lawsuits that cause doctors to practice expensive "defensive" medicine. It would prevent denying coverage because of pre-existing conditions.
The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that this plan would reduce federal deficits by $68 billion over 10 years and reduce private insurance premiums by up to 10 percent.
"Our plan would not raise taxes at a time when Congress should do everything possible to encourage businesses to hire more workers," Lewis said. "The government takeover plan that has been rammed through the House will raise taxes on small businesses by $52 billion."
"They would hire as many as 16,000 new IRS agents just to collect the massive new taxes approved under this bill," Lewis said. "We do not need a health care plan that puts even more power in the hands of the IRS."

Fluorescence-Activated Cell SortingBY: Akash Mukherjee | Category: Applications | Submitted: 2011-01-20 07:55:46
Article Summary: "Crisp description of Fluorescence activated cell sorting, it's procedure and uses. Separating the cell of one type from the pool of heterogeneous cell population so that we can use them to develop culture of cells to know much more information about that kind of cell is called cell sorting. .."
Cell Sorting:
Separating the cell of one type from the pool of heterogeneous cell population so that we can use them to develop culture of cells to know much more information about that kind of cell is called cell sorting.
Methods of Cell Sorting:
1) Surface Adhesion: Different types of cells have different affinities towards a solid surface in presence of varying quantities of enzymes. This property can be exploited to separate cells.
2) Centrifugation: In a centrifuge tube, larger cells settle at the bottom and smaller cells remain suspended, thus separating them.
3) Fluorescent Activated Cell Sorting: It is the most sophisticated cell-separation method or technique uses an antibody coupled to a fluorescent dye to label
specific cells. The labeled cells can then be separated from the unlabelled ones in an electronic fluorescence-activated cell sorter.
Some facts about FACS:
a) First sorter was invented in 1965 by Mack Fowler
b) It provides the method of sorting a heterogeneous mixture of cells into two or more containers based on fluorescent character of each cell
c) Uses antibody coupled to a fluorescent dye to label specific cells
d) It can separate 1 fluorescent cell from a poll of 1000 unlabeled cells
e) It can separate 300000 cells per minute
Fluorescence-activated cell sorting is a specialized type of flow cytometry. It provides a method for sorting a heterogeneous mixture of biological cells into two or more containers, one cell at a time, based upon the specific light scattering and fluorescent characteristics of each cell. It is a useful scientific instrument as it provides fast, objective and quantitative recording of fluorescent signals from individual cells as well as physical separation of cells of particular interest. The acronym FACS is trademarked and owned by Becton Dickinson.
Major components of FACS are :
i) Sheath fluid: The liquid stream (sheath fluid) carries and aligns the cells so that they pass single file through the light beam for sensing. Generally PBS or Tris-Cl are used for this purpose as the are isotonic with the cells.
ii) Vibrating nozzle: It breaks the cell suspension into fine droplets
iii) Laser: To illuminate the droplets
iv) Detector: To detect the resulting fluorescence .It can be either a CCD or PMT.
v) Analyzer: It measures the fluorescence and decides what charge is to be given.
vi) Charger: Gives a specific electric charge to the cells passing through.
Process of Operation:
* The cell suspension containing the cells labeled with fluorescent dye is directed into a thin stream so that all cells pass in a single file
* The stream emerges from nozzle vibrating at a some 40000cps
* It breaks the stream into 40000 droplets per sec
* Some of these droplet may containing cell
* Laser beam is directed at the stream just before it breaks up into droplets
* As each labeled cell passes through the beam, its resulting fluorescence is detected by a photocell
* If the cell is fluorescent then it is given a charge +ve or -ve
* The droplets retain this charge as they pass between a pair of charged metal plates
* Positively charged cells are attracted by negatively charged plate and vice versa
* Uncharged droplet doesn't deviate and it pass straight into the third container and discarded later
Data Representation by Computers:
1) The intensity of the green or red fluorescence is plotted on the X-axis and the number of cells with each level of fluorescence is plotted on the Y-axis
2) This method is best if all cells are either green, red or unlabeled and no cells are labeled both colors
Density Graphs:
The X-axis plots the intensity of green fluorescence while the Y-axis plots the intensity of red fluorescence. The individual black dots represent individual cells and
we are not supposed to count the dots but just look at the relative density of dots in each quadrant.
Different types of Lasers used in FACS:
• Blue argon laser(488nm)
• UV He-Cd laser(325nm)
• UV lamp(366nm)-used for DNA work
• Violet diode laser(405nm)
• Green He-Ne laser(543nm)
Commonly Used Fluorochromes:
• Lucifer yellow
• Fluorescein
• Texas Red
• Cascade Blue
• Alexa Flour (20 colors)
• Ethidium Bromide
• Chromomycin A3
• Azurite
• Calcein
Uses of FACS:
a) Counting T and B cells
b) Measuring Cell Permeability
c) Immunophenotyping (cell surface antigens, intracellular antigens, etc.)
d) Detecting transgenic products like GFP in cell
e) Chromosome analysis and sorting
f) Differentiating cancerous cells
g) Analysis of intracellular ion concentration
h) Cell cycle analysis (by using DNA-binding dye)
i) Multiplex proteins assay (cytometric bead array)
j) Characterization of multi-drug resistant (MDR) cells

text: As Ben Graham wrote in The Intelligent Investor, "one of the most persuasive tests of high quality is an uninterrupted record of dividend payments going back over many years." Graham explained that "a record of continuous dividend payments for the last 20 years or more is an important plus factor in a company's quality rating." So this consistency of "paying out a dividend does not guarantee great results, but it does improve the return of the typical stock by yanking at least some cash out of the manager's hands before they squander it or squirrel it away."

When saving to desktop icon dont show up
I am running windows 7 premium 32 bit and as of recently ive had a strange problem. If I download something and set the location to desktop the icon will not show up on my desktop. If i click on look in folder containing it is there. If I delete it and restore it will then show up on my desktop. I can drag things out on to the desktop and they will show up. It seems that only things I download to the desktop do not show up. Any idea how to fix this? I have tried removing some icons and that didn't help I am out of ideas.

University Hospital Zurich, Biomedical Optics Research Laboratory, Division of Neonatology, 8091 Zurich, Switzerland
Continuous-wave near-infrared spectroscopy and near-infrared imaging enable the measurement of relative concentration changes in oxy- and deoxyhemoglobin and thus hemodynamics and oxygenation. The accuracy of determined changes depends mainly on the modeling of the light transport through the probed tissue. Due to the highly scattering nature of tissue, the light path is longer than the source–detector separation (d). This is incorporated in modeling by multiplying d by a differential pathlength factor (DPF) which depends on several factors such as wavelength, age of the subject, and type of tissue. In the present work, we derive a general DPF equation for the frontal human head, incorporating dependency on wavelength and age, based on published data. We validated the equation using different data sets of experimentally determined DPFs from six independent studies.
By shining near-infrared (∼650 to 950 nm) light into tissue and measuring the diffuse reflected light at different wavelengths (λ), continuous-wave (CW) near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and imaging (NIRI) enable the determination of concentration changes in oxy- and deoxyhemoglobin ([O2Hb], [HHb]), which are related to changes in hemodynamics and oxygenation.1,2 NIRS refers to a measurement at a single position (i.e., one light-path), whereas NIRI measures simultaneously at different positions.
Light transportation through tissue is a complex process. In a first approximation, it can be modeled using the modified Lambert–Beer law3 given as Display Formula
Based on the diffusion equation for modeling light transport through a homogeneous semi-infinite medium, it can be shown that the DPF depends on μa(λ), the reduced scattering coefficient μs′(λ), and d:4,5Display Formula
Consequently, DPF(λ) increases with μs′ and decreases with μa. The dependence of DPF on the source-detector separation (d) is crucial to be considered for small d values, but for d>2.5 cm, the DPF is virtually independent of d.6,7 From the mathematical point of view, the dependence of d on the DPF is negligible when the inequality d3μaμs′≫1 holds.8 Since Eq. (2) is only valid for a homogeneous semi-infinite medium and since the brain is inhomogeneous, the equation only gives an approximation of the real situation in human brain tissue. However, the conclusion about the dependence of the DPF on μs′ and μa remains true. For biological tissue, DPF(λ) is generally in the range of 3 to 6. The DPF value affects the magnitude of the calculated concentration changes of chromophores in the tissue (i.e.,[O2Hb], [HHb]). For CW-NIRS/NIRI, the concentration changes are often determined based on consecutive measurements of I(λ) and applying Eq. (1), whereas μa(λ) is given as the sum of the specific absorption coefficients α(λ), of O2Hb and HHb, times the concentration c: μa(λ)=c(O2Hb)α(O2Hb,λ)+c(HHb)α(HHb,λ). Using a wrong wavelength dependence of DPF leads to crosstalk similar to using a wrong α(λ) value.9,10 CW-NIRS cannot measure the actual value of DPF(λ) which must be estimated according to tabulated values. Frequency-domain (FD) or time-domain NIRS/NIRI does not need the DPF to calculate the concentration changes, and these techniques are able to measure the μa directly.3,11–13 Another solution is to measure the DPF by employing an optical pathlength meter as developed by Tullis and Delpy14 or to determine continuously the DPF with CW-NIRS by extended Kalman filtering and dynamic system modeling.9
In 1996, Duncan et al.15 showed in a seminal paper that the DPF depends on the age of the subjects. The older the subject, the larger the DPF. Physiological reasons for the age dependence of the DPF can be attributed to different developmental or aging processes in the human brain, such as the change in intracranial volume (increase from birth to adolescence; decrease after ∼50 years of age),16,17 myelination (exponential increase over the first 3 years of life; myelin: strong scatterer),18 gray matter (GM) and white matter (WM) properties (after adulthood onwards: reduction in GM volume and deterioration in WM microstructure),19 cerebral blood flow and volume (global decrease, ∼0.5%/year, due to aging),20 cerebrospinal fluid layer thickness (increase with advanced age),21 or cortical thickness, bone mineral content, and cortical bone density (decrease starting from adulthood on).22
Duncan et al.15 measured the DPF of 283 subjects (137 male, 146 female, age: 1 day to 50 years) for four different wavelengths (690, 744, 807, and 832 nm) by a FD-NIRS system with a d of 4.3 cm. The optode was placed on the left frontal region (adults) and on the left or right frontotemporal region (on neonates). By using a least squares fitting method, they derived four equations that relate the DPF with age (A): Display Formula
Since the CW-NIRS/NIRI devices also apply wavelengths other than those employed by Duncan et al.,15 a general equation modeling the DPF as a variable depending simultaneously on age and wavelength would be desirable. Surprisingly, no such equation has been published to date to the best of our knowledge. The aim of the present work was (1) to derive such an equation and (2) to compare its predictions to various published values of measured DPF.
The general equation relating the DPF with age and wavelength is based on Eqs. (3)–(6).
All data processing was performed using MATLAB (version 2008b, The MathWorks, Natick, Massachusetts). To derive the formula, the general mathematical type of surface equation was first determined. Therefore, the DPF (A) dependence was modeled as power law, DPF(A)=α+βAγ, according to Eqs. (3)–(6). The DPF(λ) equation was modeled as a cubic function, DPF(λ)=δλ3+ελ2+ζλ+η, since this ensures that the function fits to all four wavelengths [see Fig. 1(c)]. A higher polynomial degree than three would cause overfitting since only four data points are available.
(a) DPF(A) for all ages (0 to 50 years) according to Eqs. (3)–(6). (b) DPF(λ) for each age. (c) Exemplary visualization of the cubic fit for three age groups (0, 25, and 50 years).
Thus, the surface to be fitted to the data was defined as Display Formula
All values obtained by evaluating Eqs. (3)–(6) for A=0,1,…,50 were fitted by a robust nonlinear least squares fitting with the least absolute residuals (LAR) method23 and the Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm (LMA).24,25 The LAR method is a version of the least sum of squares residuals fitting method based on minimizing the (constrained) sum of the absolute residuals, in comparison to ordinary least squares (OLS) that minimize the sum of squared residuals. LAR has the advantage over OLS of being robust against deviations from the normality assumption of the data. LMA is a cross between the Gauss–Newton algorithm and the steepest descent method; it has the advantage of being robust and iteratively more efficient.
The following parameter values were obtained: α=223.3, β=0.05624, γ=0.8493, δ=−5.723×10−7, ε=0.001245, and ζ=−0.9025. The goodness-of-fit statistics obtained were: summed squared of residuals: 0.09668, R-square: 0.9983, adjusted R-square: 0.9983, and root mean squared error (RMSE): 0.0221. These values indicate an excellent fit of the surface to the empirical data. An illustration of the determined DPF(λ,A) function can be seen in Fig. 2.
Visualization of the derived DPF (λ,A) equation for the age values 0 to 50 years, and the wavelength values 690 to 832 nm. The surface is shown from two different perspectives.
In order to validate the derived general DPF(λ,A) Eq. (7), it was compared to (1) the results of Eqs. (3)–(6) and (2) five data sets of DPFs measured in independent studies.6,26–29 Due to the fact that the DPF depends on tissue type, only DPF measurements of the forehead (frontal or frontotemporal) were used for the validation to ensure a homogeneous sample. In addition, only DPF values where d>2.5 cm holds were included since this ensures a value independent of d.6Table 1 lists the details of the six studies employed in our validation.
The comparison of the values obtained by the general DPF(λ,A) equation with the values obtained by Eqs. (3)–(6) revealed a good agreement: DPF(λ,A) versus Eq. (3), RMSE: 0.0320; versus Eq. (4), RMSE: 0.0545; versus Eq. (5), RMSE: 0.0311; versus Eq. (6), RMSE: 0.0348.
As expected, the comparison with the different data sets of measured DPFs also revealed a good agreement in general (see Fig. 3). If the predicted value was inside the standard deviation (SD) or quartiles (first to third) of the value measured, we defined this as a correct prediction. The predicted DPF values agree with the measured ones for the data set of Duncan et al.26 and Cooper et al.27 For the van der Zee et al.6 data set, the predicted DPF for the adults agrees with the measured value. For the neonates, the predicted value was outside the SD range of the measured one. Since experimental data were not reported with SD values for the data set of Zhao et al.,28 the agreement was only determined qualitatively. Two out of six values agreed. The agreement was greatest for the values from the frontotemporal region. Concerning the data set of Bonnéry et al.,29 all four values agreed with the predicted ones.
(a–g) The five different data sets with measured DPF values [blue dots and error bars (if available)] and predicted DPF values (red dots). The error bars correspond to the standard deviation (SD) (a–c, f) or the quartiles (e).
For the Essenpreis et al.30 data set of adults, the predicted DPF values agree with the measured ones. For the data set of a neonate also reported by Essenpreis et al., the predicted values differed from the measured ones. However, it must be noted that these data set originates only from one subject, making the decision of agreement difficult, especially in the region of approximately 800 to 840 nm where the measured and predicted values are close together and might coincide when more than one neonate had been measured and thus SD values were available.
In summary, excluding the data sets of Zhao et al. and the neonate data set of Essenpreis et al., 34 out of 36 values were correctly predicted. It should be noted that the data from the experimental studies show a relatively high degree of variability.
We derived a general formula for the DPF depending on the wavelength and age based on the data of Duncan et al.15 For validation purposes, the derived formula was compared with (1) the values calculated by Eqs. (3)–(6) derived by Duncan et al. and (2) six independent data sets6,26–30 of measured DPF values from adults and neonates. The comparisons revealed that 34 out of 36 of the experimentally obtained values were predicted with satisfactory accuracy by the new equation, excluding the data sets of Zhao et al.28 and the neonate data set of Essenpreis et al.30 where the validation was difficult since no SD values were given and only one subject was measured, respectively.
The discrepancy between the predicted and measured DPF values for the neonatal data sets of Van der Zee et al.6 and Essenpreis et al.30 are likely due to the fact that the neonates were measured post mortem. In addition, the neonate measured by Essenpreis et al. was kept at 4°C prior to the measurement. Both death and low temperature influence the optical properties of the tissue. Our derived DPF equation is valid only for living humans. It is known that the optical properties of tissue are different for the in vivo and post mortem case31 although a study in rats found only a small change in the DPF upon death.3 Besides death, the cooling of the body is likely to influence the PDF measurement since a change in temperature has an effect on the optical properties of tissue.32
As previous studies have shown, the DPF does not depend on skin color.26 The dependence on gender is controversial.6,26 But as already shown by Zhao et al.,28 the DPF depends clearly on the head region investigated. Therefore, to go one step further in the modeling of DPF values, it would be necessary to incorporate the dependency on the head region, i.e., composition of different tissue types, as a third variable, besides wavelength and age. It is known that variations in tissue type and the presence of the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) have a significant effect on the light-propagation characteristics and thus the DPF.33–35 For example, Okada et al.34 concluded that for a source–detector distance of 5 cm, the mean light propagation distance in the medium, i.e., d DPF, is composed of 65% contribution from the scalp and skull, 35% from the CSF, and 5% from the GM. However, later works demonstrated that the light-piping effect of the CSF is reduced due to the presence of scattering structures, i.e., arachnoid trabeculae, within the CSF,36–38 reducing the influence of the CSF. To account for the mean pathlength in each tissue layer, the concept of the "partial differential pathlength" (also termed "partial optical path length"), i.e., the mean pathlength of the light in a specific layer, the "partial differential pathlength factor," and the "partial pathlength factor," were introduced.39–42
Since the basis of the equation derived in this work comprises DPF values measured on the frontal and frontotemporal region, this equation is only valid for this head region. Another source of variation of the DPF is the intersubject variability indicating that the DPF varies by individual subject due to anatomical differences.43 These factors might explain not only the discrepancy of the DPF prediction and the actual values as observed for the data sets of Van der Zee et al.6 and Zhao et al.28 but also the discrepancy of reported experimentally obtained DPF values for the same age group, i.e., Van der Zee et al.6 versus Cooper et al.27
Concerning the validity of the newly derived equation, we recommend its usage for the age range of 0 to 70 years and the wavelength range of 690 to 832 nm since it is derived from and validated using values in these ranges. For <690 nm, the equation is probably not correct due to a decrease of the DPF in this range.44 It should be safe for application to values ranging from 832 nm to 950 nm because the wavelength dependence in this region should continue according to the model.45

====Part 6 -- HOROSCOPE, LATE BREAKING NEWS, AND CLOSE
Lesser Umbrage 19 Feb - 20 Mar
Your mystery: "What do the Nac Mac Feegles wear under their kilts?"
Fernando has spoken to many people who have met the pictsies and
survived, and consulted the stars, and he has learned that the
Feegles go al fresco under their kilts. Fernando is a seeker of
truth, but even he thinks that the real mystery is why anyone would
like to know what the Feegles wear under their kilts.
And finally, Fernando has solved a mystery for all the signs: "How
does Fernando look so good in his tight pantaloons and silk shirts?"
My friends, Fernando is a very modest man, and it pains him to talk
about himself, but his sainted mamma taught him to always be honest,
and the stars have spoken. Who is Fernando to go against the wishes
of the stars? Fernando looks so good in his pantaloons and shirts
because Fernando has the excellente taste in the clothings, and also
because Fernando looks magnificent without his pantaloons and
shirts. As they say in Brindisi, "non puoi fare un portafolio di
seta da un orecchio di maiale", and Fernando is not the ear of the
Did you know that there are some 700,000 Alzheimer's sufferers in
Britain alone? And that some 35,000 of these people have PCA, the
early-onset variety that has afflicted Terry Pratchett? You have to
sit through a BBC DVDs advertisement to see this short video, but
it's worth it:
The Telegraph:
"Best-selling author Terry Pratchett is due to deliver a petition to
Downing Street calling on the government to confront the 'worldwide
tsunami' of dementia..."
The Daily Mail:
"After handing in the petition, signed by 20,000 members of the
public, Pratchett said: 'Nearly everybody I have talked to around
the country talks about caring for their mother or father with the
disease, so it seems there is not a family in the land that hasn't
been affected, yet it is like a huge secret everybody shares.'"
The Press Association:
"However, his method of protest will be a relief for the Prime
Minister after Pratchett recently joked he would like to 'kick a
politician in the teeth' over the treatment of dementia patients.
Pratchett, in his role as patron of the Alzheimer's Research Trust,
will first address a group of politicians about what it is like to
live with the condition before handing over the petition to Number
BBC News:
"Rebecca Wood, chief executive of the Alzheimer's Research Trust, of
which Mr Pratchett is a patron, said dementia cost the UK economy
£17bn a year. 'If scientists could work out how to delay the
condition by five years, we could halve the number of people who die
with dementia. The support from across the political spectrum for an
increase in dementia research funding is overwhelming; what other
issue unites petition signatories like Lord Rees-Mogg and Tony

In this update from the North American Discworld Convention, have we
got a deal for you! We've got news on the latest UK Discworld book
releases, convention news, a couple of updates from Terry, and a new
book giveaway. In exchange, you'll tell us how to build a better
convention by filling out a brief survey. It's the best bargain
you'll find outside of Sham Harga's All-You-Can-Gobble-for-a-Dollar,
and won't leave you nearly as queasy.
The Color of Magic on ION Television - Now in early 2009, with
Hogfather repeated on Nov 30th.
Originally, RHI Films and ION Television had planned to air The
Color of Magic on Nov 23rd. However, after sending out press
releases they changed their plans and will now air it sometime in
early 2009. We're disappointed that it won't be on sooner on this
side of the pond. Once we do find out the new date, we'll make sure
to let everyone know. In the meantime, they have scheduled a repeat
of Hogfather for next Sunday, Nov 30th, on ION Television at 7 pm
ET/PT. ION Television is available via satellite (Direct TV Channel
305 and Dish Network Channel 280, which is a recent change) as well
as via cable and local station broadcasts. To find out where you can
catch it in your area, go to http://www.iontelevision.com and enter
your zip code into the "Find us by Zip Code" box in the upper right
corner. Times may vary depending on your local station, so it's best
to check your local listings to make sure of the exact time. So if
you haven't picked it up on DVD yet, here's a chance to catch it
North American Discworld Convention News
Convention Promotion Update
We've continued to send flyers to just about every SF/F convention
in North America over the last couple of months. In October,
convention Vice-Chair Emily made it to Capclave, a Washington, D.C.
area convention, where Lawrence Watt-Evans signed the copies of The
Turtle Moves that BenBella Books had donated to us. This is good
news for one of the winners in our most recent book giveaway,
detailed later in this newsletter.
Earlier in the month, some of the committee were at the annual
TusCon convention in Tucson, Arizona
(Nov. 7-9; http://home.earthlink.net/~basfa ), while our volunteer
coordinator, Rowan, was in charge of the Phoenix Faerie Festival
held Saturday, Nov 15th in Goodyear, Arizona
(http://westerngatesfaerierealms.com/PhoenixFaerieFestival.htm ).
To end the convention year on a high note, we'll be hosting a room
party on Friday night, November 28th, at LosCon 35 at the LAX
Marriott in Los Angeles, California (http://www.loscon.org/35 ).
Stop by the party for a new badge ribbon, a selection of Discworld-
themed foods, and a prize raffle for donations to Alzheimer's
Research. Note: If anyone is in the Los Angeles area and would like
to help out at the party, please let me know via email at
nadwcon@... -- I may be able to arrange for a guest
OFFICIAL COMMUNIQUE FROM THE ANKH-MORPORK CONSULATE - WINCANTON It
is noted that the weather in the land of the phoenix and red indian
is inclined toward the somewhat sunny. More so than the damp hills
of Somerset in olde England. Therefore we propose that the Cricket
Match between the Consulate Cricket Club XII and the home team is
played indoors to Col Crowther's Rules under sec 2: inclement
weather & hostile natives.
Message Ends
Convention Surveys
Here's the first of a series of surveys designed to tell us what you
would like to see, do, and buy at the convention. The SurveyMonkey
service allows us 100 free responses for each survey, so we've set
up three identical surveys that should be enough to handle everyone.
If necessary, however, we can always make another copy and post that
link on our livejournal community. Please take a moment to click on
one of the links below your feedback is very important to us!
First 100 -
Second 100 -
Third 100 -
To sweeten the pot, a special codeword will be encoded in the
surveys that you can use to enter our next book giveaway. Details
Additional Convention News
We've passed the 350 member mark and are getting close to 400 pre-
registered members, while rooms at the Tempe Mission Palms hotel
keep filling up at a steady rate. We're currently setting up a
programming team to brainstorm panels and activities beyond the main
events. Once we make it through the holidays, things will start
moving pretty quickly. We'll be working with the hotel to finalize
the banquet details and begin the ticketing process. We also plan to
provide more information about other major convention events, and
hope to announce some additional guests. We're working on an
updated online membership list and hope to have that online soon.
Books Giveaway
Thanks to HarperCollins and BenBella, we were able to give away some
books with the last newsletter. We've shipped out most of the books
to the winners, but not all of them. Once again, HarperCollins has
come through for us with some additional books to give away. So, for
this contest, we will have a special codeword listed in the above
mentioned survey. To enter the contest, send an email to
nadwcon.contest@... with the codeword and your top three
preferences of the book you would like. Available books include the
US Hardback of Nation, US Hardback of The Illustrated Wee Free Men,
US Hardback of The Wit and Wisdom of Discworld, US Hardback of
Making Money, US Paperback of The Art of Discworld, or a signed
paperback of The Turtle Moves by Lawrence Watt-Evans.

From Suite 101:
"Pratchett fans will not be surprised to find that Nation has a
strong message to share with readers well packaged in a very
readable, enjoyable story with likeable, multi-faceted characters
who respond in believable ways to the challenges they face. Unlike
the multi-layered social commentary underlying the Discworld series,
Nation is a more simple narrative with a clear message. The themes
are evident in the interactions and conversations between the
significant characters rather than half-hidden in the fantasy
construct of the Discworld..."
Geoffrey Johns wrote, in this month's Discworld Monthly:
Some years back, in Sydney, a group of Pratchett fans visited my
flat with a view to using my kitchen to explore the Nanny Ogg
cookbook. (I shall conquer Quattro Rodenti before I die, I swear
even if I have to eat it myself.) They were all under, I guess, 30.
As I recollect there was a goth. Now actually they were not all that
good at the cooking bit. But as far as being sweet, kind,
intelligent and sensible they moved off the scale into goodness.

So, Jason, I wish to conclude. Old fashioned though I may be,
laughter needn't be, shouldn't be nasty. Young people shouldn't be
categorized as hooked on cheap sensation,
DWM replies: Geoff gets this month's Letter of the Month.
ConMan of BU noted, in ozdw (BU):
Unless my memory is playing tricks on me, this little story would
have to be of the CookMeet held in Sydney back in the year
19OhGodsIDontWantToThinkAboutIt. As quite possibly the last list
member present at that event who is still (sporadically) posting to
the list, congrats to Geoff on getting LotM, and thanks for the
[Editor's note: If that meet was in 19-something, ConMan was at the
time so far below 30 that he'd have needed a telescope to see it!]
That's all we have for this month, as far as I know. Don't forget --
the 25th Anniversary Illustrated Edition of The Colour of Magic/The
Light Fantastic, and The Colour of Magic: The Illustrated
Screenplay, are both available as of today; along with Nation and
The Illustrated Wee Free Men and The Folklore of Discworld, there's
a lot of goodness to fill this year's Hogswatch stockings with.
Congratulations to the NADWCON team for getting nearly 400 pre-
registered conventiongoers, but, um, hellooo, this is a historic
first and will be not only a major event but possibly also the only
time Terry Pratchett visits the USA for a Discworld convention, so
how about 4,000 instead? After all, the man is working harder than
ever at a time when he's fighting illness. Spread the word -- and
remember, the NADWCON runs from September 4 - 7, 2009 in Phoenix,
Arizona so there's still plenty of time to organise your travel
We wish all our USA readers a happy Thanksgiving and a hopeful 2009
with your new Patrician, I mean, President. Take care, everyone, and
we'll see you next month!

Given that I am not the most overtly compassionate creature ever to walk the face of the earth, I do try to take pause every year around this time. As I giddily count down to the first day of school, my main concerns are uniforms, shoes, and supplies. Sadly, this is not the case for many parents.
Many parents are worried sick.
It broke my heart to read a post on a community Facebook page recently from a mother despondent over sending her daughter back to school. Her admittedly quirky child had been facing bullies and isolation at school, and the mom's plea was simply to make parents (and hopefully children) aware that sometimes a warm smile and friendly gesture go far.
After a week where the country showed tremendous division over everything from Robin Williams' death to the events in Ferguson to the merits of the ALS ice bucket challenge, it is no wonder the world is facing a massive crisis of compassion. The ability to give an inch, to try to understand someone else's perspective, or to simply agree to disagree has been obliterated. Lines in the sand have been drawn. Agree with me or cease to exist. It is a dismal and prevailing creed of the times.
And it is in this environment where we expect kids to celebrate differences, quirkiness, and the inherent beauty of each child.
Hubris and inflexibility are definitely not strangers to my profile. I can be as childish and mean as Nellie Oleson on a bad day. Yet in hearing and reading about all the worries and anxieties of parents sending their kids back to school, someone needs to be the adult in the room. Now is the time to talk to kids about standing up for others, asking the solitary child to participate in a game, and demonstrating a kindness that is currently lacking in public discourse.
This summer, I watched a gaggle of boys get into a heated dispute over the rules of the sport they were playing. Each side swore sacred allegiance to whatever statute they believed to be true. Some of the kids started to push, and I was about to step in to drag my kids home. That was when an old soul of a 10-year-old offered a compromise. Still not completely happy with the concession, each side nonetheless continued the game.
To live, work, and play alongside people who do not always agree with us is how the game of life goes. It is how we learn and develop cooperation skills and critical thinking. To completely dismiss someone's perspective, life experiences, or allegiances simply because they are different from one's own ensures mental decay. This is not what I want for my boys' formative years.
Disagree? Yes. Dismiss? Never.
As this school year commences, the most important message to my kids will be that they do not have to love everyone. They do not have to like everyone. They certainly do not have to agree with everyone.
But they do need to make sure everyone at least gets the chance to play.

Jack LaLanne's Business Fitness
Jack LaLanne knew business fitness and also the fitness business, the "Godfather of Fitness died yesterday at the age of 96. He was known for pumping iron but was also a master of marketing and practiced business fitness. He was known for juicers and a fitness TV show that spanned almost 35 years and also was a bodybuilder.
Business Fitness and Happiness
Jack and Elaine LaLanne were always in the spotlight and were an inseparable duo, Jack opened fitness clubs that involved women lifting weights which at the time was not common because the belief was that women would start to take on a male physique. He later sold the rights to his clubs to a company by the name of Bally Company (yes today they are Bally Fitness).
Do You Have Business Fitness
Jack exercised his body and his business everyday, he combined the things he loved to do and became successful, happy and yes very rich along the way. You should practice business fitness by feeding your brand, exercising your business by everyday being active in it. If you sit and expect things to happen your business will start to weaken and you will not be a powerful mlm leader in this industry. Jack Lalanne was an inspiration on many levels and we can learn from what he has accomplished in his personal and professional life.
You don't have to do everything but you have to do something everyday. The more you participate the more you will grow, become confident and grow.

Cranberry and Oatmeal Spice Cookies
READY IN: 13mins
Recipe by Chef mariajane
A very delicious spice cookie with the added bonus of the tart cranberries - so good!!
Top Review by appleydapply
Amazing! Delicious spicy-soft cookies + Sweet-tart cranberries = a new family favorite. Next time I'll see if my KitchenAid stand mixer can handle a double batch, because the only problem with this recipe is that it only made 21 nicely-sized cookies for us!
