Welcome to the Special Collections Research Center. This area was specifically designed to provide a protective and controlled environment for those Kelvin Smith Library materials which require extraordinary care and handling and which do not circulate. The collection consists primarily of either printed books or original manuscripts and documents, but also includes photographs, periodicals, works of art and audio-visual recordings. The major collections are grouped in the following six broad categories:
History of Science and Technology
There are many criteria used to determine which of the Kelvin Smith Libraries' millions of items belong in Special Collections including; rarity, value, fragility, ephemeral nature, or because they are part of a distinctive subject or author collection. By acquiring, organizing, preserving, and providing access to the collection through reference services, finding aids, presentations, and exhibits the Special Collections Research Center fulfills its mission to support the teaching and research of Case Western Reserve University's faculty and students and the local, national and international community of scholars and researchers.
The Kelvin Smith Library's online catalog provides one measure of access to the book collections. Search results indicate a Special Collections item if the citation notes one of the following locations: UL Spec Col Stacks; UL Spec Col Reference; UL Spec Col Vault. Please contact the Special Collections staff for further assistance by voice (216) 368-0189 or email email@example.com.
The collection links (listed above) are your portal to in-depth descriptions of the collection, finding aids for the manuscript collections and access to digital surrogates of Special Collections material.
Return Case or OhioLINK items to any Case library, yes. Case libraries have different hours, so your book might not get checked in on the day you return it if you use a bookdrop.
Return the CPL@Case-KSL books only to KSL, so the collection is here for you & others. Case libraries are not responsible for returning other local libraries' books. Returning public library books here will not check them off of your account at those libraries.

Developers of fake antivirus software are getting better at copying the look and feel of legitimate antivirus products to make it harder for victims to tell whether they are being scammed or not, according to Kaspersky Lab.
A fake antivirus Website was found specially designed to mimic the interface for antivirus products from Kaspersky Lab, Symantec's Norton and Avira, Dmitry Bestuzhev, an antivirus researcher at Kaspersky Lab, wrote on the SecureList blog Nov.29. The initial infection was triggered by a dropper Trojan that downloaded onto the user's computer the fake screen that closely resembled legitimate software.
In the past, rogue antivirus products were fake screenshots taken from a generic template. "These fakes didn't claim to find any infections—the victim was simply ripped off after paying for a useless product," said Bestuzhev. A recent version observed by Kaspersky Lab simulates the actual scanning process on the victim's PC, he said.

Thanks Spoo!
These pillows would accent those Versace Atelier rugs quite nicely.
+1. Crazy find!
My wife would go bananas if I found her another pair. I found her a couple pair (w/ shoe bags) along with some other very high end shoes (Jimmy Choo, etc) last year at a garage sale. She had tears of joy.
Yeah, same here. They hit a bit above the knee. I like knee length.

Do Knot Disturb Movie Review
Star cast: Govinda (the Husband), Riteish Deshmukh (the Pretend Boyfriend), Lara Dutta (the Mistress), Sushmita Sen (the Wife), Ranvir Shorey (the Private Detective) and Sohail Khan (the Actual Ex-Boyfriend); Director: David Dhawan; Rating: 2 out of 5.
Vulgar, noisy and excessive, "Do Knot Disturb" is a Bollywood sex farce with almost no sex, and comedy pitched so low you're more likely to groan than giggle. Don't say the movie doesn't warn you: within the first few minutes, you're treated to a man grunting on a toilet. Like so much in "Do Knot Disturb" — beginning but not ending with that K in "knot" — it has no reason to be.
The plot goes something like this: a businessman (Govinda), who works for his corporate-titan wife (Sushmita Sen), also has a mistress (Lara Dutta). (Ms. Sen and Ms. Dutta are both former Miss Universes.) The wife suspects there's another woman. Complications in the form of an amnesiac detective, extra boyfriends and a bellboy named Mangu ensue.
Nothing much makes sense here, including the location, which we're told is Delhi. Not, apparently, the one in India, though. This magical place has a marina ringed with white skyscrapers and a suspiciously glossy veneer. (The movie was partially filmed in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.)
Saddled with a witless script, the director, David Dhawan, mostly goes for loud. The actors — except Ms. Sen, whose soothing voice is a relief — shout their lines. The endless slaps sound like earthquakes. And just about every time Ms. Dutta appears, a singer on the soundtrack bursts out with "Enamoraaaata!" That at least made me laugh.

Damned hippies with their long hair! That certainly seems to be the attitude to the man with the hair Matt Smith, whose long hair has provoked as much attention as his perception as an unknown to the public (despite him starring noticeably alongside Billie Piper on three occasions).
So with the hair comes the girl, and in more ways than one it would appear! That bastion of style the Daily Mail has a piece on Mr Smith's rather stunning partner, Brazilian beauty Mayana Moura, whose hair is a bit like Smiths.
In so far as she has some.
Which is lucky, as Mayana Moura is a punk rocker. Seriously.
She's a former model who formed a punk band known as Glass And Glue with fellow Brazilian, stylist Marina Franco.Accoridng to Brazilian society columnist Bruno Astuto (who presumably works for some similar publication as the Mail and is Brazil's own Baz Bamigboye)
'They have been together for one year. They celebrated on New Year's Eve when they joined a group of friends for a party in a penthouse overlooking the beach in Copacabana.'
'She has this bold look, but she's a very sweet, unassuming girl,'
Hopefully however the press will be getting none of the inside gossip on Matt Smith's private life any mroe than they have so far on David Tennant's.
Asked about her relationship with Smith, Mayana also declined to comment. 'This is a private matter,' she said. 'Matt doesn't want to talk. I don't want to talk.'
They're both in showbiz and live 6000 miles apart – good luck to them!

How do you take an uproariously funny show about six adorable grown men acting like children, and up the cute factor? Give 'em enormous teddy bears, that's how! Add in some sneakiness, lying, backstabbing, and botched subterfuge, and we have the next generation in delivery racing. And while newbie Uhm Tae-woong is still pretty green to the whole every-man-for-himself mentality of 1N2D survival games, he's managing to catch on…sorta.
EPISODE 326. Broadcast on March 20, 2011.
[Note: I'm using the episode numbers tagged on the video files. It seems there's more than one way to number 1N2D episodes, but I chose this because it seemed simplest, for the purposes of locating the appropriate file for download.]
javabeans: So, the teddy bears. So ridiculous, and pretty much the perfect way to humiliate all six adult men in one fell swoop. For this episode, Jong-min was first to arrive and pick out a mysterious box for an "upgraded delivery race."
girlfriday: The delivery race is a game where each member is entrusted with a different item to be kept safe/clean/intact/unmolested to the destination. Only the first to arrive with his item unmarred is the winner who gets to sleep inside, along with one partner. (It's a staple of the show that every night some members get to sleep indoors while others have to sleep outside, even in the freezing cold.)
javabeans: I saw the flashback montage. Looks like they can get pretty vicious with the sabotage.
girlfriday: It's the best game EVER.
javabeans: This time, the mission was for each member to deliver his box from the studio to Ulleungdo — meaning, three men take one boat, three men take another, and one ferry ride later, all six complete a footrace to their final destination.
(Ulleungdo is a remote island to the east of the peninsula. In Level 7 Civil Servant, Kim Haneul used it numerous times as an excuse when she went on her spy missions, telling her boyfriend Kang Ji-hwan that she was going to Ulleungdo — the implication being, "Don't call me, I'll be out of range." In Coffee House, Kang Ji-hwan goes to Ulleungdo when he's off the grid for two years writing a new novel, which is set on the island. Basically, it's way the heck out in the middle of nowhere.)
You can tell Tae-woong is still easing into things, because when he got to the starting point and the PD asked why he thought he was here (meaning: What do you think your mission is?), he answered, "To do 1N2D!" Sooooo cute.
girlfriday: Like a little kid.
javabeans: Oh! And then, when the rules were explained to him about needing to keep his package safe, he asked so innocently, "Why wouldn't it be safe?"
girlfriday: HAHAHAHA. It's like he's new…to the world.
javabeans: Cue flashbacks to stealing, tripping, sneak-attacking, and ambushing fellow members.
girlfriday: It's a game that brings out everyone's devious side, as they scheme and make backdoor deals, and then promptly betray each other at every turn. The last time, Ho-dong had a raw egg as his package, and Jong-min ATE IT in his ramen.
javabeans: That's awesome. It's like adding insult to injury. And eating it too. I guess it was a new development this time that everyone had to carry the same (monstrously sized) package.
girlfriday: And what a brilliant idea to make it both cute and unwieldy. I love each of their reactions when they open their mystery box to find a ginormous teddy bear, all groaning, "I should've picked the other one!"
javabeans: Then, each member lied to each other when they phoned in to see what everyone's respective packages were…except Tae-woong. Sweet, pure, gullible Tae-woong.
girlfriday: I love it because that's such a banjun for 1N2D; it's a given that they're all going to lie. Except he doesn't know how to. YET.
javabeans: But on the other hand, it worked for him in the second half, because everyone just assumed he'd fall for their lies. And he wasn't THAT dumb.
girlfriday: Yeah, it's a good thing he doesn't fall for every single trick in the book, 'cause otherwise I'd feel too bad for him to laugh (sort of). He really is Uhm "Soon-doong" though, which is I think the best nickname for him so far (meaning "innocent"). He just says what he means, and means what he says.
javabeans: Can we talk about how scary-smart Ji-won was in this one? You have Jong-min strapping his teddy bear to his back with a huge pink blanket—not conspicuous at all, eh?—and Ji-won cleverly stuffed his into a neat, compact backpack. And then later, he was workin' some major telepathy by accurately predicting the other team's situation perfectly, based on ONE measly text message Tae-woong wrote.
girlfriday: He is a genius strategist. Sometimes it's scary. I think Seung-gi says it in this episode, but the recurring thing with Ji-won is that any team with him on it fears nothing, because even if he loses, he will ARGUE his way out of anything.
javabeans: Especially compared to Jong-min, who was desperately trying to be sneaky, but foiled by his own ineptitude. Like, he's got this huge mutherfuckin' teddy bear on his back, and he's insisting, "My package is this book! No, this umbrella! No, this neck pillow! I swear, it's not the teddy bear!" He was the craftiest, but also the least successful at being crafty.
girlfriday: So…not crafty in the least. Heh. It kills me that he insists it's not the bear…while the other person is carrying THE EXACT SAME BEAR around. So, I've got a bear, and he's got a bear, but yours is NOT the bear? Hm. Not the brightest bulb, this one.
javabeans: I guess Ji-won's genius has a limit, though, because he was the first to be disqualified. Even though Su-geun would have been out first — if only he hadn't whimsically strapped his teddy bear in with the seat belt. Hee.
girlfriday: Seung-gi sneak-attacked Ji-won while he was sleeping, but then did you notice that as soon as they made the deal to gang up on Jong-min, when Ji-won discovered that Seung-gi's bear was easier to steal, he switched gears at a moment's notice? And someone please tell me how I'm not supposed to squeal at the fact that Seung-gi gets TICKLED out of his bear?
javabeans: Isn't it funny how four people were eliminated before they even arrived at the island for the race? Two of them were eliminated before they even got to the ferry.
girlfriday: Last time Jong-min was eliminated before leaving the studio.
javabeans: Snerk. And really, the only reason he survived this one was because he desperately reminded his teammates that he was their only hope for sleeping inside that night. If they took him out, then the winner would be from the other team. Although, I cracked up every time he begged for mercy, appealing to them by saying, "But…we're singers! We're all singers!"
girlfriday: Haha. It's a function of how they tend to divide up the teams—sometimes it's OB/YB (Old Boys / Young Boys), and sometimes it's Comedians/Singers.
javabeans: Ahh, that makes sense then. 'Cause I was like… Uh? So you're singers?
girlfriday: Now they have a new team though, with Actors/Comedians/Singers 'cause Seung-gi swings both ways.
javabeans: Rawr. I noticed that the young boys were a lot more cutthroat than the old boys, especially when they were on their separate boats to Ulleungdo.
girlfriday: Well they have Seung-gi AND Ji-won, who are both sly little foxes.
javabeans: And Jong-min, the not-so-sly attempted strategist. The old boys were way more laid-back on their boat ride. Although two of them did get their bears stolen on the boat. But I doubt the OBs would have come up with that crafty text-messaging scheme like the young'uns did. (The YB team convinced Na PD to let them use his phone, and then pretended to be him while texting the writer on the other team to find out info.)
girlfriday: That was GENIUS. I love that Na PD went along with the wager and actually let them use his phone. I think they scared him a little.
javabeans: So it's not common that the boys impersonate the PD to weasel out info from the staff?
girlfriday: To the point that they imitate his word choice to fool the writer into giving away the OB team's teddy bear status? That's a new level of crafty.
javabeans: It was so hilarious when the writer called Na PD back to confirm, and he had to lie on the spot but was TERRIBLE at it. "Uh, how's this team doing? Uh, er, they're…all safe. Oh, the thing I said before? I-I-I was wrong about that."
girlfriday: He cracks me up. How can an evil genius be so bad at lying? Na PD is actually one of my favorite characters on the show because he's such a ball of contradictions, and he's a great fourth-wall-breaker. It makes the whole thing more REAL when he participates, whereas when it's just the six members looking out at the cameras, it can get stagey.
javabeans: It was pretty smart that both teams came up with the same strategy, though: Two eliminated players protect their one viable contestant from the other team. Seung-gi and Ji-won at least tried to run interference for Jong-min, but Tae-woong's teammates FAILED HIM. They didn't even try to help him beat the young boys in that race to the lighthouse.
girlfriday: They just couldn't keep up with the Uhmforce. He was like the freakin' Teddy Bear Terminator. I mean the protecty kind, not a teddy bear killer!
javabeans: Yeah, here's where I think Tae-woong finally displays some major advantages. He may not be the smartest, but damn the man is in shape. He could've run the whole way and more, I think. And his second-fastest competitor would be gasping in his wake. It's almost a shame Seung-gi was disqualified early, because a race between him and Tae-woong might've been pretty interesting. They would probably be matched for speed, but Tae-woong has the edge on strength. And Seung-gi the edge on smarts. Ahhh, too bad.
girlfriday: It's nice that Seung-gi's finally got some competition for the physical games again, 'cause he's pretty much the winning horse in anything involving speed or hand-eye coordination (except strength games, of course, where everyone loses to Ho-dong). Now Tae-woong's gonna put 'em all in the ground with his action-school moves.
javabeans: Oh man, and how I giggled when they brought out the theme song from Last Match [hit 1994 basketball drama starring Jang Dong-gun and Shim Eun-ha]. I notice they played a lot of Uhm Jung-hwa hits, too, for Tae-woong's scenes.
(The song: "마지막 승부" (The last match) from the drama soundtrack. Download)
girlfriday: Oh, no you di'n't. I LOVE 마지막 승부! Must… resist… urge… for tangent…
javabeans: How hilarious was Jong-min, who kept begging Tae-woong (his main competitor) to stop for a mutual rest? "Hyung! Let's both take a 5-minute break. I swear we'll just rest." Like that was gonna do anyone any good but himself. I love the captions that pointed out that Tae-woong kept saying okay, and then kept running anyway. And Jong-min was left crying, "Hyung! Wait! Let's rest! Hyung!" The only time Tae-woong finally paused was when his poor cameraman asked for a break.
girlfriday: That's actually a common problem, 'cause sometimes the guys will outrun their VJs when their competitive drive takes over. Everyone has an adjustment period with that too, and I think Tae-woong still has to learn that on a variety show, winning off camera is… NOT WINNING.
javabeans: That must be why every time it happens, the producers draw attention to it, sorta hanging a lantern on the problem. ("Tae-woong runs so fast his VJ can't keep up!") Better to "write it in" to the storyline (so to speak) than to leave viewers dissatisfied, eh?
girlfriday: It cracks me up that while everyone else strapped, bungeed, and stuffed their bears to keep them safe, the winner just carried his along like a big kid. I just love that the boys were running all over Korea with those giant teddy bears in tow. I think Ho-dong got attached to his, taking it out on a date.
javabeans: I think he got FRISKY with his.
girlfriday: But my favorite thing was Tae-woong's confession that he loves Ho-dong. He so sweetly refused to believe that his hyung would betray him. "Ho-dong-ppa!"
javabeans: Heh. I noticed how everyone was quick to suck up to Tae-woong at the end, hoping he'd pick them to share his shelter for the night. But I knew he'd pick Su-geun, because he was so cute that morning when he ran into Su-geun at the station. He whispered, "I missed you" like he was embarrassed to be caught on camera being so sincere. And then they promised each other that they'd be each other's besties if they won. Plus, it was totally worth that look of surprise on Ho-dong's face when he didn't get picked. That's what you get for making assumptions!

We all know that bad credit can prevent approval for car loans and mortgages—but can it also affect your career?
CNN Money reports that it can. According to a recent survey performed by Demos, a liberal think-tank, companies are increasingly performing credit checks on potential employees: Approximately a quarter of unemployed Americans have had their credit scores checked when applying for a job, and one in ten have been rejected for their bad credit.

My Quest for the Perfect Credit Score
I Spent 6 Years Living Without Credit
5 Things to Teach Your Kids About Credit While They're Still Young
Aren't there federal rules outlawing this sort of discrimination? Yes, there are: Potential employers must be granted permission to run credit checks and must inform applicants if their credit score was the reason they weren't hired. But it's a hard rule to enforce, since employers can easily give other reasons for withholding the job.
Could a Credit Mistake Cost You the Job?
Imagine getting turned down for a job because of your poor credit—that you didn't actually earn. That's the case for some applicants, who are denied jobs based on low credit scores that are the result of a bureau mistake.
And that's one of the primary reasons everyone, whether applying to jobs, thinking about a mortgage or other loan, or just staying financially healthy, should regularly be checking their credit score. Studies say that up to 25% of scores contain significant errors (such as outdated personal information, mistaken or fraudulent accounts and incorrect account details), and believe us—no one is triple-checking the accuracy of your credit except for you.
Check your credit report for free once a year at AnnualCreditReport.com, and if you notice any inaccuracies or errors, be sure to dispute them immediately. Everything look good? Then continue focusing on building up that score (if you don't know where to start, our checklist I Want to Monitor and Improve My Credit Score should help)—you never know how it will come in handy in the future.

"Big Erratic with Lichen, Brooksville" by John Woolsey 2012
The L.C. Bates Museum's summer art exhibition, Gift of the Glacier: The Maine Landscape will open May 15 and last until October 15, 2013. The Gift of the Glacier: The Maine Landscape celebrates the beauty of our great State of Maine. The exhibition features works by 23 Maine artists that depict aspects and evidence of the science of Maine's landscape and geology. From rounded hilltops to rocky slopes and glacial lakes, Maine's landscape documents the work of the glaciers. This astounding scenery not only offers the "Mainer"a beautiful place of residency, but lends itself to be translated into compelling works of art. Thus, The Gift of the Glacier will present museum visitors with a unique look at how artists interpret a striking landscape created in the Ice Age by a vast slow-moving glacier.
The 23 contemporary Maine Artists in the exhibit include Nancy Glassman, MikeBranca, Alison Hildreth, John Woolsey, Abbott Meader, Nina Bohlen, DaphneCummings, Veronica Cross, J. Thomas R. Higgins, Barbara Sullivan, ChrisHiggins, Stephen Burt, and Sharon Yates. Artists in the Gift of the Glacier:The Maine Landscape exhibit portrays aspects and evidence of the science of Maine's landscape and geology. The artists' work includes observations of the landscape that illustrate signs of glacial movement and remains, such aseskers, rounded hills, rocky slopes, erratics, and glacial scratch marks. The work depicts varied landscapes from blueberry barrens to farms' stonewall marked fields, and from mountains shaped by the glacier to lakes and waterfalls.
The L.C. Bates Museum at Good-Will Hinckley, a natural history museumlocated in Hinckley, Maine, focuses on inspiring wonder by providing integratedapproaches to learning. On Wednesdays afternoons at 1 PM from June 26 to August21 the Museum will offer children's and family art workshops. Several of thesecreative workshops will be presented by artists in the exhibition. Theexhibition will also present related programming, including talks andexhibition tours, designed to promote interest and curiosity about Maineart and the environment in which we live. On Sunday June 30 from 2 to 4 PM therewill be a free public reception for the artists that will include a talk by oneof the participating artists, John Woolsey.
The show is the result of a collaborative effort between the L.C. Bates Museum staff and two Colby College students, Kayla L. Lewkowicz '14 andVeronica L. Vesnaver '15, who helped curate the exhibition under the supervision of Professor Véronique Plesch. The Gift of the Glacier exhibition was made possible by grant support from the Maine Community Foundation Expansion Arts Fund.

It's nervous time, and not just for Toffoli
By Paul Armbruster • KingsNewsDaily.com • Tyler Toffoli's debut with the Los Angeles Kings is only hours away and admittedly, he's nervous. If he wasn't nervous, he wouldn't be human. But as I sat watching him this morning at the pregame skate, I couldn't help but feel some nerves myself about the game tonight. I see […] Read more

On Wednesday, May 28, 2014, Rolf Brekken, Ph.D., an associate professor in the departments of surgery and pharmacology at UT Southwestern Medical Center, will provide information on how cancers evade the immune system and what treatments and combination of treatments, including bavituximab and other immune activators, can be used to reactivate your immuno-suppressed tumor to effectively fight cancer.
Rolf Brekken, Ph.D. "Reactivating Your Immune System to Fight Cancer" May 28, 2014, at 2:00 p.m. EDT
Dr. Brekken's laboratory studies how therapy affects the tumor microenvironment and how stromal elements influence response to therapy. Dr. Brekken received his B.A. in Biology from Luther College and his Ph.D. from University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center where he trained under Philip E. Thorpe, Ph.D. His graduate studies were focused on developing novel therapies that target the vascular compartment of tumors. He was a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Vascular Biology at the Hope Heart Institute in Seattle, WA, where he studied how the extracellular matrix contributes to vascular function and tumor progression. He joined the Department of Surgery at UT Southwestern as faculty in 2002 and was promoted to associate professor with tenure in 2009. He is also a member of the Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center at UT Southwestern.

West Coast hip-hop characters The Coup are plotting a comeback. Boots Riley and co. will release Sorry To Bother You—their first album since 2006's Pick a Bigger Weapon—on Oct. 30 via Epitah, and to get us all riled up (I'm not sure if that was intended as a pun, but feel free chalk it up), debut "WAVIP." This one finds Boots in a proverbial cypher with ATL veteran Killer Mike and Das Racist cool kids Kool A.D. and Heems, who share the mic over a neck-snapping, riff-churning rhythm. I needn't point out that this absolutely knocks.

Quoting Brenintw (Thread starter): With another typhoon barrelling down on us, I got to thinking. During the course of this year, if a typhoon is expected to hit TPE directly, CX has tended to suspend flying into TPE during the typhoon period. |
Quoting Brenintw (Thread starter): Quite a number of the CX TPE flights continue to another destination (NRT, NGO, ICN etc). In this case, does CX can the whole flight, or is the flight flown direct, simply going around the storm? The A/C CX uses on these flights are quite capable of making HKG - XXX nonstop. |
Quoting Brenintw (Thread starter): I would assume that it would be less troublesome to the PAX to have the flight completed than to can the flight entirely. I also assume that since the cancellation is weather-related, CX is not responsible for accommodating stranded PAX. |

Revelation 19New International Version (NIV)Threefold Hallelujah Over Babylon's Fall19 After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in heaven shouting: "Hallelujah! 3 And again they shouted: "Hallelujah! 4 The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God, who was seated on the throne. And they cried: "Amen, Hallelujah!" 5 Then a voice came from the throne, saying: "Praise our God, 6 Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting: "Hallelujah! (Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of God's holy people.) 9 Then the angel said to me, "Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!" And he added, "These are the true words of God." 10 At this I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, "Don't do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers and sisters who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For it is the Spirit of prophecy who bears testimony to Jesus." The Heavenly Warrior Defeats the Beast11 I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war. 12 His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. 13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. 14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will rule them with an iron scepter."[a] He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. 16 On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: king of kings and lord of lords. 17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair, "Come, gather together for the great supper of God, 18 so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and the mighty, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, great and small." 19 Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to wage war against the rider on the horse and his army. 20 But the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who had performed the signs on its behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. 21 The rest were killed with the sword coming out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.

My dermatologist recommended biotin for my thinning eyebrows, but I'm borderline hypothyroid. Should I worry that biotin is made from soybeans, a natural thryroid depressant, if I am borderline hypothyroid?
Is Biotin for Thinning Eyebrows Safe for a Hypothyroid Patient?
Doctor Answers 2
Biotin does not grow eyebrows or hair. If your dermatologist recommends it, you can try it and see if it works. Low thyroid levels can cause eyebrow hair loss. Perhaps you should see an endocrinologist.

Hum, they had to rub salt into the wound too by producing a video confirming Karen's return in the next series...when will it end? Between this and the economy, haven't we all been through too much already?
Yet I have to admit, it's not all Karen's fault, it's Moffat's fault for turning Doctor Who into what it's become; incomprehensible and extremely dull. - 26 August 2011 at 02:56

Power bigger headphones and hear improved, louder sound with the twist of a button.
I am the second owner. The first owner was a fellow audiophile and took great care of it.
- It has about 500 hours of use
- It has a couple small dings and a scrape, but nothing noticeable unless you're actually looking.
- Powered by one 9-volt battery. I swear I put a good 60+ hours on one powering my AKG K701 cans.
- A/C adapter NOT included - at least, that is what I assume the port to be for (see picture)
- As you can see by the picture, the device is just a little larger than a credit card.
- Dead simple to use.
I've never had any problems with it, and would recommend it. Brought a lot of life to the sound I was getting out of my K701s and IE-8s. Pretty balanced sound improvement.
If you are interested in any of my other items for sale, I would be willing to make a deal.
I'm Paypal Verified; I will ship to the lower 48 states from Idaho, USA. Listed purchase price reflects base cost before shipping charges unless otherwise noted.

2001 Infinite I30. I had O2 Sensor Bank 1, Sensor 2 replaced in May of 2010 by a new mechanic. They recommended that, in these cars, all 4 sensors work together so ALL four should be replaced but I couldn't afford all, so I replace one and the "check engine" light went off. Light back on now. I took it to my old mechanic. The diag. code is coming up "middle catalytic converter". He says this should be replaced. I told my newer mechanic this. He says the failing O2 sensors are causing the CC to malfunction, hence the code and that I should replace all remaining sensors instead. Old mechanic says he detects no malfunctioning with remaining O2 sensors. Who's right? Help!

Really? Does Johnny U fall out of your list of top 10 QBs because he did not play against Ds as "stout and fast?" What about the pipsqueak and slow (by today's standards) Jack Lambert? Better yet, are you stating that the Ravens 2000 defense was better than the 70's Steelers D because the Ravens D must have been "stouter" and "faster?" Is Revis automatically better than Blount? Romo better than Bradshaw?
There is nothing wrong with holding your position but it has to be consistent when applied to the Steelers as well, not just against teams we hate and arrogant jerks like Jim Brown. On the field he was a BEAST, probably the best to play the position. Again, 12,000+ yards in 9 12-14 game seasons is difficult to argue against. If those were 16 game seasons, it is like adding almost another two seasons to his stats. That would put him at about 14,000-15000 yards. In his final season of 1965, he ran for more than 1500 yards in 14 games. Another three seasons and he easily would have had more than Emmitt.
I didn't know if You Tube had it or not and was guessing they might.
Harris Beats Brown at 40 Yards, Wins 2-Day Competition
January 19, 1985
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. AP Former Pittsburgh Steeler running back Franco Harris defeated former Cleveland Brown running back Jim Brown in the 40-yard dash Friday to win a two-day competition.
The televised contest, called "I Challenge You," evolved from Brown saying on national television last year that he could beat Harris in the dash.
Harris, 34, was clocked in 5.16 seconds. Hampered by a hamstring injury, Brown, 48, finished in 5.72 seconds. Although each participant won two of four events, Harris won the overall title because he took the dash.
"Franco beat me fair and square," said Brown, who grabbed his left hamstring during the dash. "I don't have any excuses."
About 1,500 high-rollers were invited to watch the dash and the one-on-one touchdown pass-catching competition Friday night at a casino hotel, which installed a makeshift playing field with artificial turf.
The event was televised in New York and Los Angeles Friday night, and will be broadcast on 139 other stations today or Sunday.
Harris won the touchdown competition with an eight-yard advantage. New York Giant quarterback Phil Simms threw the passes.
Brown won the first two events of the competition Thursday, defeating Harris in racquetball, 11-4 and 11-8, and then winning at basketball by rallying from a 20-14 deficit to win the final game in the best two-of-three event, 22-20.

It's a big day for pint-sized star Quvenzhané Wallis. Hours before the "Beasts of the Southern Wild" breakout hits up the Academy Awards ceremony in support of her Best Actress nomination, Columbia Pictures today confirmed the actress will play the titular role in their contemporary remake of "Annie."
The film, directed by "Easy A" helmer Will Gluck, is slated to open wide over the holiday season in 2014. Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, Shawn 'Jay-Z' Carter, Jay Brown, James Lassiter, Tyran 'Ty Ty' Smith are producing.
Emma Thompson penned the first draft of the screenplay, which has since been rewritten by Aline Brosh McKenna. Gluck is said to be currently revising the script.
Wallis is next set to appear in Steve McQueen's follow-up to "Shame," "Twelve Years a Slave," opposite Brad Pitt and Michael Fassbender.

For-profit universities are currently under government scrutiny for alleged unethical recruiting practices. In a recent article in the Chronicle of Higher Education (August 2, 2010), one former recruiter from a for-profit university commented to the U.S. Department of Education that, "We are forced to do anything necessary to get people to fill out an application. There are good people out there right now who are in debt because I put them in school and they didn't belong there."
This type of recruiting practice common among some of the for-profit colleges and universities presents us with a question of morality and values. Colleges and universities that are more concerned about collecting tuition than they are about the success and welfare of students teach us an extreme lesson about the level of immorality that can be exhibited by an institution. It demonstrates that the once forbidden topic of teaching values in a public institution goes beyond speech and discussions in the classroom. The truth is that morality and values have been, and still are, intertwined in public educational institutions in every policy and practice associated with the institution. Our educational institutions teach values and morality by example.
A lesson in morality begins with college and university admissions policies.

Do you ever wonder what the most popular movie of all time is? My money is on Star Wars. I know it hasn't made the most money. I think Titanic still holds that one. However, it could be the most popluar movie of all time.
In what way could we judge popularity? That's a tougher question. For some reason movies are judged sucesses or failurs by the amount of money they bring in. This is good, because if the movie doesn't make any money then it should be a failure. Still, it's unfair to judge these movies with money. Case in point. I've seen AOTC 5 times. Four times I paid $3.50 to see and once I paid $6.00 to see it. Add that up and you get $20.00. Now, if I where to see the movie down town Chicago it would cost me $10.00 to just see it once. So, as you can see the money total just isn't fair.
Plus, ANH was the highest grossing movie ever for years. That made it's money in the late 70's and early 80's. I don't remember how much is cost to see a movie then, but it sure was a heck of a lot less than it was when Titanic was out.
So, my point to this is that I bet Star Wars has been seen more than any other movie ever. Smart Money is on ANH, but the other two may hold the title. I wish they would count tickets sold, rather than money. I think Star Wars would dwarf all other movies by millions.
Any one else have any thoughts on this?

Word of the Day: Stranger Room or Elijah Room
November 6, 2008 2 Comments
My Cades Cove pictures included the shot above from the Elijah Oliver place. I found several references to the small room on the porch (left side of photo) as a a stranger room.
Cades Cove people were well known for their hospitality and neighborly kindness. Visiting was the order on Saturday and Sunday nights and folks would sit around sharing tall tales, jokes, puzzles, and proverbs.
Cove residents also made room for strangers. They framed in their porches to create little rooms for overnight guests traveling through. Elijah Oliver enclosed his front porch to serve as a "stranger room" or an "Elijah room" (named after the biblical prophet, not Oliver).
Reading the Wikipedia entry for Elijah, I can guess at a couple of reasons for the name. Elijah had to flee his homeland and needed hospitality. There's also an Elijah chair set out in Jewish ceremonies and Passover to welcome the returning prophet.

And it's a classic piece of cinema, with glorious music, great voice actors, horribly frightening moments — and it turned us all into hoarders. And like everything great from the past, it is now being remade in CG. Advertisement The Wrap is reporting that "Waterman Entertainment has acquired the right to The Brave Little Toaster and is planning to turn the property into a CGI/live-action hybrid feature." Gross.On a side note they have also picked up the rights to Born Free: The Story of Elsa the Lion and plan on rebooting that as well, but from the perspective of the lion. Which, OK cool. Advertisement However this Toaster fiasco is disheartening at best. And now I will express my feelings about this needless remake in the form of song, from the original The Brave Little Toaster.Reply75 repliesLeave a reply

In this session we shall demonstrate configuration, installation and administration of SQL Server 2012 on Server 2008R2 Core. We shall discuss Command line and PowerShell configuration, Installation of SQL, Remote Administration and Clustering.
Extended Events and the new Profiler in SQL Server 2012
Extended Events made its appearance in SQL Server 2008, but in SQL Server 2012, the number of lightweight events have been expanded. After a quick review of how Extended Events work, I'll cover the enhancements in detail.
Gather SQL Server Performance Data with PowerShell
It's important to keep a baseline of performance metrics that allow us to know when something is wrong and help us to track it down and fix the problem. This session will show you how to use PowerShell to gather your baseline and how to report it.
Hey PowerShell Eventing, can you notify me ?
How many times have you needed to automate a restore process Asynchronous to N databases and be notified when each finalized? ...Or the SQL Server service stopped in your Server X and a notification in W task bar showing immediately what happened ?
POSH Clustering
This exciting session will be delivered by PowerShell expert James Boother and Clustering expert Mark Broadbent where we will demonstrate how to use PowerShell to perform SQL Failover Cluster administration and automate simple and complex operations.
I'll explain how to manage a large environment of 400+ instances in such a way that it's also useful if you have only 5 instances. Expect 50% processes and war stories and 50% demos and scripts (lots of PowerShell of course, but not everything)
Introduction to Powershell
Back (hopefully) by popular demand I'll be sharing the secrets to getting started with Powershell in a SQL Server Environment.
Automating Admin Tasks with Powershell
Powershell is a powerful scripting engine that can be used to automate admin tasks making more efficient use of your time. This session will introduce Powershell and how it can be used within a SQL Server environment.
Make your DBA life better using SQL Server technologies - notes from field & best practices
A typical day of DBA and new features of SQL Server 2008 can help - save a minute.
Put Your Feet Up : Simplified Management using the Enterprise Policy Management Framework
Wouldn't you rather spend your day learning all the funky new features in SQL Server 2008 than running all your daily checks over your instances? SQL Server 2008 introduced Policy Based Management which allows a fine-grained level of configuration and control of the instance's properties. The Enterprise Policy Management Framework takes this and extends it out to allow you to manage SQL 2000 and 2005 instances through policies as well.

I work at the Melbourne Zoo and yesterday this guy with his family came in with a Melbourne School of Theology student card so I was obliged to give him a discount because of that.
I'm not happy giving students of theology discount just because they're a student. If everyone received concessions just because they studied the philosophy of imaginary beings, someone can genuinely believe in anything and get a discount for it. But I can't say that on Facebook can I! So I have to go with all these gentler terms and phrases to get point across, which still ends up creating a shitstorm of all the Christians rushing to defend theology and those not wishing to offend saying it's just studying philosophy so what's the difference. If only you knew..........
I believe there are a couple of issues worth clarifying:
1) Whether the discount is given to all students, regardless of subject of study
2) Whether the discount is given only to students of theology
If the former is true, it would seem to be a legitimate discount. If, however, the latter is true, you may have a valid, actionable complaint.
The discount is given to all students regardless what they study and it is a legal and legitimate discount. My problem is with these schools of religion and just because you choose to study the philosophy and an imaginary god, you receive discount. There are Jedi schools and enough people on the census have put down Jedi as their religion for it to be legally counted as a religion however if someone presented a student card from such an institution, it'd be some kind of joke.
If someone went to a school of astrology or reiki or some homeopathic college, we'd also be obliged to give them discount, when what they're learning is absolute nonsense. Theology has been around for millenia but it doesn't make it any more legitimate than any of the examples I gave above. It bothers me that people can claim concession based on a subjective personal belief and area of study which is questionable in validity.
I can see how I'm coming across as arse though by picking out theology students only.
Personally, I think anything other than a science or mathematics is not worth paying a college tuition- so I do understand your perspective (and my kids understand I will not be paying tuition for anything other than science or mathematics).

You probably associate the term decay with images like the one above. But when it comes to atoms, decay has a different meaning. Decay in chemistry refers to changes in the nuclei of certain atoms.
Why Some Nuclei Decay
Radioactive elements and isotopes have unstable nuclei. To become more stable, the nuclei undergo radioactive decay. In radioactive decay, the nuclei give off, or emit, radiation in the form of energy and often particles as well. There are several types of radioactive decay, including alpha, beta, and gamma decay. Energy is emitted in all three types of decay, but only alpha and beta decay also emit particles.
What Is Alpha Decay?
Alpha decay occurs when a nucleus is unstable because it has too many protons. The Figure below shows what happens during alpha decay. The nucleus emits an alpha particle and energy. An alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons, which is actually a helium nucleus. Losing the protons and neutrons makes the nucleus more stable.
Equations for Alpha Decay
Radioactive nuclei and particles are represented by nuclear symbols that indicate their numbers of protons and neutrons. For example, an alpha particle (helium nucleus) is represented by the symbol \begin{align*}\mathrm{^4_2 He}\end{align*}, where He is the chemical symbol for helium, the subscript 2 is the number of protons, and the superscript 4 is the mass number (2 protons + 2 neutrons).
Nuclear symbols are used to write nuclear equations for radioactive decay. Let's consider an example. Uranium-238 undergoes alpha decay to become thorium-234. (The numbers following the chemical names refer to the number of protons plus neutrons.) In this reaction, uranium-238 loses two protons and two neutrons to become the element thorium-234. The reaction can be represented by this nuclear equation:
- \begin{align*}\mathrm{^{238}_{92} U}\end{align*} → \begin{align*}\mathrm{^{234}_{90} Th}\end{align*} + \begin{align*}\mathrm{^4_2 He}\end{align*} + Energy
If you count the number of protons (subscripts) as well as the number of protons plus neutrons (superscripts), you'll see that the total numbers are the same on both sides of the arrow. This means that the equation is balanced. The thorium-234 produced in this reaction is also unstable, so it will undergo radioactive decay as well. The alpha particle (\begin{align*}\mathrm{^4_2 He}\end{align*}) produced in the reaction can join with two free electrons to form the element helium. This is how most of Earth's helium formed.
Q: Fill in the missing subscript and superscript to balance the following nuclear equation for alpha decay of Polonium-210.
- \begin{align*}\mathrm{^{210}_{84} Po}\end{align*} → \begin{align*}\mathrm{^?_? Pb}\end{align*} + \begin{align*}\mathrm{^4_2 He}\end{align*} + Energy
A: The subscript of Pb is 82, and the superscript is 206. This means that the new element produced in the reaction has 82 protons. You can find the element with this number of protons in the periodic table. It is the element lead (Pb). The new element also has 124 neutrons (206 – 82 protons = 124 neutrons).
How Dangerous Is Alpha Decay?
All types of radioactive decay pose risks to living things, but alpha decay is the least dangerous. That's because alpha particles are relatively heavy, so they can travel only a few centimeters through the air. They also are not very penetrating. For example, they can't pass through a sheet of paper or thin layer of clothing. They may burn the skin, but they can't penetrate to the tissues underneath the skin. However, if alpha particles are emitted inside the body, they can do more damage. One way this can happen is by inhaling cigarette smoke. People who smoke actually inhale the radioactive element polonium-210. It undergoes alpha decay in the lungs. Over time, exposure to alpha particles may cause lung cancer.
- Alpha decay is one of three types of nuclear decay in which unstable nuclei emit energy with or without a particle of matter.
- In alpha decay, energy and an alpha particle are emitted by a nucleus that is unstable because it has too many protons. An alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons, so it is actually a helium nucleus.
- Alpha decay is represented by a nuclear equation. The equation is balanced if the total numbers of protons and neutrons are the same on both sides of the arrow.
- All radioactive decay is dangerous to living things, but alpha decay is the least dangerous.
- What is alpha decay?
- Explain why alpha decay occurs.
- If a radioactive element with 85 protons undergoes alpha decay, how many protons will there be in the new element that forms as the product of the reaction? What element is it?
- Fill in the missing subscript and superscript to balance the following nuclear equation. Make sure your equation is balanced.
- \begin{align*}\mathrm{^{222}_? Ra}\end{align*} → \begin{align*}\mathrm{^?_{86} Pb}\end{align*} + \begin{align*}\mathrm{^4_2 He}\end{align*} + Energy

Seafood is rarely fresher or more strikingly beautiful. I'm aboard a small boat, jiggling on a placid Cornish sea, clutching an angry lobster of Prussian blue tinged with ochre, its claws spread wide: a crucified crustacean anticipating its own last supper.
Just hours later, boiling water has alchemised its shell into a crimson coffin. I'm back on terra firma watching an acclaimed chef reverentially fill the empty torso with chunks of plump white lobster, its cooked flesh awaiting a shroud of brandy and cream sauce.
The last rites of the delicious seafood are being administered on a new catch-it, cook-it package in south Cornwall. Launched this month by Portloe's Lugger Hotel, it lets guests head out on the ocean to bag the core ingredients for supper, which they're later taught to prepare in the hotel's much-lauded kitchen.
Portloe is a compact fishing village on the Roseland peninsula, its photogenic huddle of cottages chasing the wooded valley down to a tiny, steep-sided harbour dotted with lobster pots and palm trees. You certainly won't find a more atmospheric classroom than the Lugger. Its 17th-century buildings cluster around the water in a higgledy-piggledy labyrinth of white and cream rooms sprinkled with sun-catching terraces. Once it served smugglers – landlord Black Dunstan was hanged for his crimes in the 1890s – now it looks after tourists seeking a stylish bolthole, spa treatments and gourmet seafood.
While Portloe may look the part, its fishermen aren't licensed to carry guests. Instead, I drive eight miles to St Mawes, from where James Brown, a cheerful, weather-beaten skipper runs fishing trips on local waters.
After a 10-minute wind-in-your-hair boat ride, we stop near the chunky tower of St Anthony's lighthouse where Brown, a commercial fisherman for 25 years, pulls in his first pot. About 30ft below, the rope trap, baited with "stinky old fish", has been sitting among kelp trailing from nearby rocks.
It yields a couple of small velvet swimming crabs with sensuously fuzzy shells. They're too small to eat although the French harvest them for soup. "I reckon that Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall has a bit of French in him," says Brown. "He'll eat anything."
Pot two is more prolific: a 2lb dogfish, its shark DNA reflected in its torpedo physique, and a brown crab. Eating size. Just. Wearing thick rubber gloves, Brown pulls it out by its back legs and holds the shell at the sides. "Be careful," he advises. "A large crab or lobster could easily crush your finger. We generally pull the claws off before that happens – dismember them before they dismember you."
Motoring out to a point opposite the entrance to Falmouth harbour, we drop lines of feathered hooks over the side of the boat in pursuit of mackerel, pollock and pouting. But an hour passes and nothing bites apart from a comically small sand lance – the bait for tonight's lobster traps.
As rain draws a grey veil over the headland and a flotilla of yachts dots the monochrome ocean, we check two more pots. The first contains a featherweight lobster with a heavyweight attitude – too small – the second, a far meatier specimen. At 91mm, he meets the legal standards and is right for the stove. He's beautiful but furious. Brown issues a further warning about the double-jointed claws that snap well behind the head.
The relief of making a catch is palpable. But even if you do come up empty-handed, you needn't write off the cookery demonstration. Curgurrell Farm, en route back to the Lugger, sells live and cooked beauties. It does, of course, make you more of a gatherer than a hunter-gatherer.
I'm back at the hotel by midday, handing my still punchy catch to Austrian chef Franz Hornegger, the amiable antithesis of motor-mouthed TV cooking stars. He sticks them in the fridge "to calm down" while I enjoy a cliff-top hike, returning about 5pm. His small corner kitchen, where a three-strong team works, has a ludicrously cute harbour setting – a recent spring tide swirled right around its walls.
The sedated crustaceans wriggle disturbingly in boiling water but are dead within seconds. The lobster gets 15 minutes, the crab 20. They boil. I sup a gin and tonic. "Seafood mustn't be overcooked," says Hornegger, a veteran of several Newquay hotels and Mosimann's in London. "Treat it lightly. Show respect."
The chef works rapidly, issuing clear, precise advice on preparing lobster thermidor. I learn to declaw the body, slice it in half, clean it – the empty shell is for serving – and extract meat from the claws "like shelling a pea". The detritus of broken shell is destined for a bouillabaisse; the flesh for immersion in a thermidor sauce of melted butter, cream, mustard and brandy poured with Keith Floyd panache.
The crab requires less adornment. After cracking open the underside of the shell, its muscle, guts and juice – a trilogy resembling a Dr Who monster – are removed. The cleaned shell is refilled with dark meat overlaid with a seam of white flesh from the claws. It's served on a mixed leaf salad with half a lemon. Simple.
"It may not look much," says Hornegger. "But this is dense filling meat. We could turn it into a tian with crème fraîche but when it's this fresh, it speaks for itself."
Not quite true. Twenty minutes later, in a dining room as unfussy as the salad – white linen, candles and a few local seascapes beneath a low-beamed ceiling – the unadulterated crabmeat proves even better in a dialogue with a 2008 Muscadet.
The windows are thrown open, providing a noseful of brine to complement my mouthful of ocean. Eight miles away the small lance is sitting in Brown's pots, luring lobsters for a future Lugger feast: the next link in the endless, brutal but gloriously tasty food chain.
The Lugger offers two nights, including breakfasts and one dinner, with fishing trip and lobster-cooking class from £360 for two; www.luggerhotel.com

Quantum lands early de-duplication punch
EMC, NetApp lurk in their corners
Tape survivor Quantum today ramped up its efforts in disk storage with the release of kit aimed at the primed market for de-duplication.
Quantum's pitch is that as a backup appliance, its new DXi-series should slot into established backup setups more easily than wholly software-based solutions. The boxes can be implemented as network-attached storage in Windows and UNIX-based environments, and as a virtual tape library with either a fibre channel or iSCSI connection.
De-duplication has been a hot area of late, with EMC and NetApp buying up de-duplication software developers Avamar and Topio. Quantum can be assured its larger rivals are working on integrating the technology into their appliances too.
Quantum's kit uses software picked up in its acquisition of ADIC in August this year, and was one of the motivations behind the deal. The announcement is the first product the two single companies couldn't have developed on their own.
The gear is punted at mid-sized storage operations looking for an economical backup plan; Quantum claims its technology will slash capacity requirements by 20 times on average.
The eight DXi-series models, which run to 216TB, will be available in the US in January and worldwide from February starting at £12,000. ®

Power of an idea
Founder and CEO of MonkeyWish, Kristi Taylor
Published: Thursday, August 1, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 26, 2013 at 9:39 a.m.
Kristi Taylor is awfully humble for a mother of three who is taking her tech startup company to a global audience.
"I'm a nobody, truthfully," she says. "There's nothing that makes me special except that I had an idea and that I tried to make something happen."
Always eager to give the perfect gift but sometimes short on ideas, Taylor solved her own problem with MonkeyWish — a website and mobile app that allows users to create wish lists or gift registries for any occasion.
By partnering with more than 160 retailers, including Target, Walmart and Amazon, the company gets a share of revenues from sales made from the lists in return for driving traffic to the retailers. Taylor keeps sales figures private.
Development began in October 2011, and the website launched in September 2012 after several rounds of feedback and revision. The mobile app followed a month later. Less than a month passed before the "Today Show" called and Taylor brought her husband, Eric, and three children to New York City to appear on the national NBC morning program.
In April, MonkeyWish announced a partnership with online invitation company Evite, which boasts 31 million registered users. Event organizers can register for gifts through MonkeyWish when they send out invitations for parties or get-togethers.
"We kind of stumbled upon the most universal tool," Taylor says. "I am my own test market, so my project has been created from a user's perspective, not a developer's perspective. I know what mothers want."
