The Samples w/ Kieran Lally
Event Information
This Event is 21+
Read More
Artist Information
With their relaxed, slightly jazzy pop, the Samples were one of the most popular touring bands of the early '90s. After a bad experience with a major label, the band began releasing their own records independently, building support through a grassroots network of fans. Through constant touring, the Samples were able to keep building their network of fans. They were also busy in the studio, recording three albums between 1992 and 1993. With none of their albums deviating from their folky, Sting-meets-the Grateful Dead pop, their albums -- which include 1994's Autopilot, 1996's Outpost, and 1997's Transmissions from the Sea of Tranquility live set -- are virtually indistinguishable from each other. However, none of them are bad; each record has a couple of first-rate songs, showing why they are concert favorites across the country. Here and Somewhere Else followed in 1998 and Sparta was issued in fall 2000. Return to Earth appeared in 2001, and this studio effort included a guest spot from Boyd Tinsley of the Dave Matthews Band on the track "Great Blue Ocean." The three-disc Anthology in Motion, Vol. 1 arrived in 2002, followed by 2003's Seventeen, a stripped-down live set performed before a thankful crowd at Connecticut's Quinnipiac College. The band returned to the studio for 2004's Black & White and 2005's Rehearsing for Life.

Faced with growing competition from new video-centric rivals, Dropbox on Thursday unveiled a revamped iOS app that lets users automatically upload their photos and video to the company's cloud-based storage service.
The update to Dropbox's universal app for iPhone and iPad lets users upload photos and video to the cloud using either a Wi-Fi or cellular connection. The new version gives you a choice of manual or automatic upload. Just turn on the Camera Upload feature in the settings, and the app will upload your video or images automatically. The company has also created a new Gallery view so users can see thumbnails of all the images they store with the service.
Dropbox's move comes just weeks after the unveiling of two new apps— Pixorial and Cloudee—aimed at letting users store their video to the cloud for private use or targeted sharing. While Dropbox is well-established, the proliferation of services indicates there's a growing market for services that let users save and access video from nearly any electronic device they own.
They'll also have to compete on price—and the ability to store heavy-data video files may help all the services attract more paying users.
Dropbox offers users 2GB of storage for free (more if you refer friends to the service). Pro accounts start at $10 a month for 50GB or more of storage. Pixorial, in contrast, offers the first gigabyte for free, after which its premium service begins at $2 a month for 10GB, and $9 a month for 50GB. Cloudee has not yet unveiled its pricing scheme. (Apple's iCloud service offers up to 5GB of storage for free, but currently accommodates only photos—no user-created video.)
But Dropbox is also trying to sweeten the pot for multimedia users—announcing with Thursday's update that clients can earn up to 3GB of free extra storage if they also use the automatic-upload feature for photos.
The Dropbox app is free, and compatible with devices running iOS 4.0 or later.

perlstyle - Perl style guide
perlstyle - Perl style guide
Each programmer will, of course, have his or her own preferences in regards to formatting, but there are some general guidelines that will make your programs easier to read, understand, and maintain.
The most important thing is to run your programs under the -w
flag at all times. You may turn it off explicitly for particular
portions of code via the
use warnings pragma or the
$^W variable
if you must. You should
also always run under
use strict or know the reason why not.
use sigtrap and even
use diagnostics pragmas may also prove
Regarding aesthetics of code lay out, about the only thing Larry cares strongly about is that the closing curly bracket of a multi-line BLOCK should line up with the keyword that started the construct. Beyond that, he has other preferences that aren't so strong:
Larry has his reasons for each of these things, but he doesn't claim that everyone else's mind works the same as his does.
Here are some other more substantive style issues to think about:
open(FOO,$foo) || die "Can't open $foo: $!";
is better than
die "Can't open $foo: $!" unless open(FOO,$foo);
because the second way hides the main point of the statement in a modifier. On the other hand
print "Starting analysis\n" if $verbose;
is better than
$verbose && print "Starting analysis\n";
because the main point isn't whether the user typed -v or not.
Similarly, just because an operator lets you assume default arguments doesn't mean that you have to make use of the defaults. The defaults are there for lazy systems programmers writing one-shot programs. If you want your program to be readable, consider supplying the argument.
Along the same lines, just because you CAN omit parentheses in many places doesn't mean that you ought to:
return print reverse sort num values %array; return print(reverse(sort num (values(%array))));
When in doubt, parenthesize. At the very least it will let some poor schmuck bounce on the % key in vi.
Even if you aren't in doubt, consider the mental welfare of the person who has to maintain the code after you, and who will probably put parentheses in the wrong place.

the middle. Just ``outdent'' it a little to make it more visible:
LINE: for (;;) { statements; last LINE if $foo; next LINE if /^#/; statements; }

map()) or `backticks` in a void context, that is,
when you just throw away their return values. Those functions all
have return values, so use them. Otherwise use a
foreach() loop or
system() function instead.
$] (
$PERL_VERSION in
English) to see if it
will be there. The
Config module will also let you interrogate values
determined by the Configure program when Perl was installed.
Package names are sometimes an exception to this rule. Perl informally
reserves lowercase module names for ``pragma'' modules like
integer and
strict. Other modules should begin with a capital letter and use mixed
case, but probably without underscores due to limitations in primitive
file systems' representations of module names as files that must fit into a
few sparse bytes.
$ALL_CAPS_HERE constants only (beware clashes with perl vars!) $Some_Caps_Here package-wide global/static $no_caps_here function scope my() or local() variables
Function and method names seem to work best as all lowercase. E.g., $obj->as_string().
You can use a leading underscore to indicate that a variable or function should not be used outside the package that defined it.
/x modifier and
put in some whitespace to make it look a little less like line noise.
Don't use slash as a delimiter when your regexp has slashes or backslashes.
&& and
||. Call your subroutines as if they were
functions or list operators to avoid excessive ampersands and parentheses.
print() statements.
$IDX = $ST_MTIME; $IDX = $ST_ATIME if $opt_u; $IDX = $ST_CTIME if $opt_c; $IDX = $ST_SIZE if $opt_s;
mkdir $tmpdir, 0700 or die "can't mkdir $tmpdir: $!"; chdir($tmpdir) or die "can't chdir $tmpdir: $!"; mkdir 'tmp', 0777 or die "can't mkdir $tmpdir/tmp: $!";
opendir(D, $dir) or die "can't opendir $dir: $!";
tr [abc] [xyz];
use strict and
use warnings (or -w) in effect
Consider giving away
your code. Consider changing your whole world view. Consider... oh,
never mind.

Chapter XXXI - The Middle Passage
"Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look upon iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?" --HAB. 1: 13.
It is one of the bitterest apportionments of a lot of slavery, that the negro, sympathetic and assimilative, after acquiring, in a refined family, the tastes and feelings which form the atmosphere of such a place, is not the less liable to become the bond-slave of the coarsest and most brutal,--just as a chair or table, which once decorated the superb saloon, comes, at last, battered and defaced, to the barroom of some filthy tavern, or some low haunt of vulgar debauchery. The great difference is, that the table and chair cannot feel, and the man can; for even a legal enactment that he shall be "taken, reputed, adjudged in law, to be a chattel personal," cannot blot out his soul, with its own private little world of memories, hopes, loves, fears, and desires.
Mr. Simon Legree, Tom's master, had purchased slaves at one place and another, in New Orleans, to the number of eight, and driven them, handcuffed, in couples of two and two, down to the good steamer Pirate, which lay at the levee, ready for a trip up the Red river.
Having got them fairly on board, and the boat being off, he came round, with that air of efficiency which ever characterized him, to take a review of them. Stopping opposite to Tom, who had been attired for sale in his best broadcloth suit, with well-starched linen and shining boots, he briefly expressed himself as follows:
"Stand up."
Tom stood up.
"Take off that stock!" and, as Tom, encumbered by his fetters, proceeded to do it, he assisted him, by pulling it, with no gentle hand, from his neck, and putting it in his pocket.
Legree now turned to Tom's trunk, which, previous to this, he had been ransacking, and, taking from it a pair of old pantaloons and dilapidated coat, which Tom had been wont to put on about his stable-work, he said, liberating Tom's hands from the handcuffs, and pointing to a recess in among the boxes,
"You go there, and put these on."
Tom obeyed, and in a few moments returned.
"Take off your boots," said Mr. Legree.
Tom did so.
"There," said the former, throwing him a pair of coarse, stout shoes, such as were common among the slaves, "put these on."
In Tom's hurried exchange, he had not forgotten to transfer his cherished Bible to his pocket. It was well he did so; for Mr. Legree, having refitted Tom's handcuffs, proceeded deliberately to investigate the contents of his pockets. He drew out a silk handkerchief, and put it into his own pocket. Several little trifles, which Tom had treasured, chiefly because they had amused Eva, he looked upon with a contemptuous grunt, and tossed them over his shoulder into the river.
Tom's Methodist hymn-book, which, in his hurry, he had forgotten, he now held up and turned over.
Humph! pious, to be sure. So, what's yer name,--you belong to the church, eh?"
"Yes, Mas'r," said Tom, firmly.
"Well, I'll soon have that out of you. I have none o' yer bawling, praying, singing niggers on my place; so remember. Now, mind yourself," he said, with a stamp and a fierce glance of his gray eye, directed at Tom, "I'm your church now! You understand,--you've got to be as I say."
Something within the silent black man answered No! and, as if repeated by an invisible voice, came the words of an old prophetic scroll, as Eva had often read them to him,--"Fear not! for I have redeemed thee. I have called thee by name. Thou art MINE!"
But Simon Legree heard no voice. That voice is one he never shall hear. He only glared for a moment on the downcast face of Tom, and walked off. He took Tom's trunk, which contained a very neat and abundant wardrobe, to the forecastle, where it was soon surrounded by various hands of the boat. With much laughing, at the expense of niggers who tried to be gentlemen, the articles very readily were sold to one and another, and the empty trunk finally put up at auction. It was a good joke, they all thought, especially to see how Tom looked after his things, as they were going this way and that; and then the auction of the trunk, that was funnier than all, and occasioned abundant witticisms.
This little affair being over, Simon sauntered up again to his property.
"Now, Tom, I've relieved you of any extra baggage, you see. Take mighty good care of them clothes. It'll be long enough 'fore you get more. I go in for making niggers careful; one suit has to do for one year, on my place."
Simon next walked up to the place where Emmeline was sitting, chained to another woman.
"Well, my dear," he said, chucking her under the chin, "keep up your spirits."
The involuntary look of horror, fright and aversion, with which the girl regarded him, did not escape his eye. He frowned fiercely.
"None o' your shines, gal! you's got to keep a pleasant face, when I speak to ye,--d'ye hear? And you, you old yellow poco moonshine!" he said, giving a shove to the mulatto woman to whom Emmeline was chained, "don't you carry that sort of face! You's got to look chipper, I tell ye!"
"I say, all on ye," he said retreating a pace or two back, "look at me,--look at me,--look me right in the eye,--straight, now!" said he, stamping his foot at every pause.
As by a fascination, every eye was now directed to the glaring greenish-gray eye of Simon.
"Now," said he, doubling his great, heavy fist into something resembling a blacksmith's hammer, "d'ye see this fist? Heft it!" he said, bringing it down on Tom's hand. "Look at these yer bones! Well, I tell ye this yer fist has got as hard as iron knocking down niggers. I never see the nigger, yet, I couldn't bring down with one crack," said he, bringing his fist down so near to the face of Tom that he winked and drew back. "I don't keep none o' yer cussed overseers; I does my own overseeing; and I tell you things is seen to. You's every one on ye got to toe the mark, I tell ye; quick,--straight,--the moment I speak. That's the way to keep in with me. Ye won't find no soft spot in me, nowhere. So, now, mind yerselves; for I don't show no mercy!"
The women involuntarily drew in their breath, and the whole gang sat with downcast, dejected faces. Meanwhile, Simon turned on his heel, and marched up to the bar of the boat for a dram.
"That's the way I begin with my niggers," he said, to a gentlemanly man, who had stood by him during his speech. "It's my system to begin strong,--just let 'em know what to expect."
"Indeed!" said the stranger, looking upon him with the curiosity of a naturalist studying some out-of-the-way specimen.
"Yes, indeed. I'm none o' yer gentlemen planters, with lily fingers, to slop round and be cheated by some old cuss of an overseer! Just feel of my knuckles, now; look at my fist. Tell ye, sir, the flesh on 't has come jest like a stone, practising on nigger--feel on it."
The stranger applied his fingers to the implement in question, and simply said,
"'T is hard enough; and, I suppose," he added, "practice has made your heart just like it."
"Why, yes, I may say so," said Simon, with a hearty laugh. "I reckon there's as little soft in me as in any one going. Tell you, nobody comes it over me! Niggers never gets round me, neither with squalling nor soft soap,--that's a fact."
"You have a fine lot there."
"Real," said Simon. "There's that Tom, they telled me he was suthin' uncommon. I paid a little high for him, tendin' him for a driver and a managing chap; only get the notions out that he's larnt by bein' treated as niggers never ought to be, he'll do prime! The yellow woman I got took in on. I rayther think she's sickly, but I shall put her through for what she's worth; she may last a year or two. I don't go for savin' niggers. Use up, and buy more, 's my way;-makes you less trouble, and I'm quite sure it comes cheaper in the end;" and Simon sipped his glass.
"And how long do they generally last?" said the stranger.
"Well, donno; 'cordin' as their constitution is. Stout fellers last six or seven years; trashy ones gets worked up in two or three. I used to, when I fust begun, have considerable trouble fussin' with 'em and trying to make 'em hold out,--doctorin' on 'em up when they's sick, and givin' on 'em clothes and blankets, and what not, tryin' to keep 'em all sort o' decent and comfortable. Law, 't wasn't no sort o' use; I lost money on 'em, and 't was heaps o' trouble. Now, you see, I just put 'em straight through, sick or well. When one nigger's dead, I buy another; and I find it comes cheaper and easier, every way."
The stranger turned away, and seated himself beside a gentleman, who had been listening to the conversation with repressed uneasiness.
"You must not take that fellow to be any specimen of Southern planters," said he.
"I should hope not," said the young gentleman, with emphasis.
"He is a mean, low, brutal fellow!" said the other.
"And yet your laws allow him to hold any number of human beings subject to his absolute will, without even a shadow of protection; and, low as he is, you cannot say that there are not many such."
"Well," said the other, "there are also many considerate and humane men among planters."
"Granted," said the young man; "but, in my opinion, it is you considerate, humane men, that are responsible for all the brutality and outrage wrought by these wretches; because, if it were not for your sanction and influence, the whole system could not keep foothold for an hour. If there were no planters except such as that one," said he, pointing with his finger to Legree, who stood with his back to them, "the whole thing would go down like a millstone. It is your respectability and humanity that licenses and protects his brutality."
"You certainly have a high opinion of my good nature," said the planter, smiling, "but I advise you not to talk quite so loud, as there are people on board the boat who might not be quite so tolerant to opinion as I am. You had better wait till I get up to my plantation, and there you may abuse us all, quite at your leisure."
The young gentleman colored and smiled, and the two were soon busy in a game of backgammon. Meanwhile, another conversation was going on in the lower part of the boat, between Emmeline and the mulatto woman with whom she was confined. As was natural, they were exchanging with each other some particulars of their history.
"Who did you belong to?" said Emmeline.
"Well, my Mas'r was Mr. Ellis,--lived on Levee-street. P'raps you've seen the house."
"Was he good to you?" said Emmeline.
"Mostly, till he tuk sick. He's lain sick, off and on, more than six months, and been orful oneasy. 'Pears like he warnt willin' to have nobody rest, day or night; and got so curous, there couldn't nobody suit him. 'Pears like he just grew crosser, every day; kep me up nights till I got farly beat out, and couldn't keep awake no longer; and cause I got to sleep, one night, Lors, he talk so orful to me, and he tell me he'd sell me to just the hardest master he could find; and he'd promised me my freedom, too, when he died."
"Had you any friends?" said Emmeline.
"Yes, my husband,--he's a blacksmith. Mas'r gen'ly hired him out. They took me off so quick, I didn't even have time to see him; and I's got four children. O, dear me!" said the woman, covering her face with her hands.
It is a natural impulse, in every one, when they hear a tale of distress, to think of something to say by way of consolation. Emmeline wanted to say something, but she could not think of anything to say. What was there to be said? As by a common consent, they both avoided, with fear and dread, all mention of the horrible man who was now their master.
True, there is religious trust for even the darkest hour. The mulatto woman was a member of the Methodist church, and had an unenlightened but very sincere spirit of piety. Emmeline had been educated much more intelligently,--taught to read and write, and diligently instructed in the Bible, by the care of a faithful and pious mistress; yet, would it not try the faith of the firmest Christian, to find themselves abandoned, apparently, of God, in the grasp of ruthless violence? How much more must it shake the faith of Christ's poor little ones, weak in knowledge and tender in years!
The boat moved on,--freighted with its weight of sorrow,--up the red, muddy, turbid current, through the abrupt tortuous windings of the Red river; and sad eyes gazed wearily on the steep red-clay banks, as they glided by in dreary sameness. At last the boat stopped at a small town, and Legree, with his party, disembarked.

"The president's preemptive attack on the court was in direct reaction to Obamacare's three days of oral argument. It was a shock. After years of contemptuously dismissing the very idea of a legal challenge, Democrats suddenly realized there actually is a serious constitutional argument to be made against Obamacare — and they are losing it.
"Here were highly sophisticated conservative thinkers — lawyers and justices — making the case for limited government, and liberals weren't even prepared for the obvious constitutional question: If Congress can force the individual into a private contract by authority of the commerce clause, what can it not force the individual to do? Without a limiting principle, the central premise of our constitutional system — a government of enumerated powers — evaporates. What, then, is the limiting principle?…
"Democrats are reeling. Obama was so taken aback, he hasn't even drawn up contingency plans should his cherished reform be struck down. Liberals still cannot grasp what's happened — the mild revival of constitutionalism in a country they've grown so used to ordering about regardless. When asked about Obamacare's constitutionality, Nancy Pelosi famously replied: 'Are you serious?' She was genuinely puzzled.
"As was Rep. Phil Hare (D-Ill.). As Michael Barone notes, when Hare was similarly challenged at a 2010 town hall, he replied: 'I don't worry about the Constitution.' Hare is now retired, having been shortly thereafter defeated for reelection by the more constitutionally attuned owner of an East Moline pizza shop."
"Is Obama's reference to 'unelected' justices an 'attack'? If so, it's pretty tame stuff indeed. Obama is characterizing the conservative line that that judicial activism by unelected judges is a bad thing, and arguing that overturning Obamacare would be an example of what conservatives themselves decry. Obama is mainly making an argument about legal precedent here — he's pointing out that historically, the court has deferred to Congress as a democratically-elected institution in deciding whether to overturn laws, and saying he hopes the Court does the same again.
"I'm not defending Obama's claim that overturning the law would be 'unprecedented' — it wouldn't — but as 'attacks' go, this is pretty weak sauce. And it's a bit surprising to hear so much whining about it, given the attacks on 'activist' judges conservatives have waged for years.
"If you really want to hear an 'attack' on the court, go check out F.D.R.'s 1937 address, in which he accused the Court of wanting to banish the nation to a 'No-Man's Land of final futility.' Or check out his Fireside Chat about his court-packing scheme, in which he warned that it was time to "save the Constitution from the Court' and accused the courts of operating in 'direct contradiction of the high purposes of the framers of the Constitution.'"
"Just about every player in connection with the President's remarks about the Supreme Court seem to me to be acting oddly or imprudently.
"What a terrible idea for the President to charge the Supreme Court with an 'unprecedented, extraordinary step' of judicial activism if it strikes down parts of the health care law. It was not a bad idea because it constituted bullying of the Court. It was a bad idea – at least from the President's perspective – because it makes it harder for the Justices to rule in favor of the President's position. After his very public criticism, a vote to uphold the law by the Justices who sharply questioned the law at oral argument will invariably be seen as cowing to the President – an appearance, I am confident, the Justices very much want to avoid. In other words, by questioning the Justice's independence, the President made it harder for the Justices whose votes he needs to act in his favor. That, I suspect, is why the President has tried to walk back his remarks…
"And how silly for the Fifth Circuit panel to ask the Justice Department to brief whether the Obama Administration believes that courts have the right to strike down a federal law. It is obvious that the President and DOJ believe courts have that power. And in any event that power in no way depends on the beliefs of the President or DOJ. The request for an answer on the question, based on a presidential remark not at issue in the case, seems like a political intrusion by the court into a political debate."
"As a brilliant constitutional lawyer deeply devoted to the rule of law, [Obama] has nothing but respect for the critical function that judicial review performs in preserving the American system of constitutional government. Efforts to divine a contrary theory in his remarks were strained at the outset and have grown only more untenable.
"The 'unprecedented, extraordinary' step he noted the justices would be taking if they were to overturn the Affordable Care Act was, of course, not the step of exercising judicial review, as the court has done ever since Marbury v. Madison in 1803, but the step of second-guessing congressional judgments about how best to regulate a vast segment of the national economy. No one in the world — certainly none of the justices — can have been surprised to learn that Obama believes his signature domestic achievement fully complies with the Constitution and ought to be upheld — or that the Supreme Court has a decades-old tradition of treading lightly when major regulations of interstate commerce come before it…
"There was no disrespect in the president's entirely correct observation that precedent and historical practice alike would lead a suitably cautious court to uphold rather than overturn his signature first-term achievement in providing health insurance to millions of Americans. The fact that health care reform has represented a pressing issue for the nation over the course of a century would indeed make a decision to strike down the law all the more jarring. But the notion that the president's recognition of that fact somehow crossed the Rubicon in our separation of powers by seeking to diminish the court's independence is patently absurd."
"If the president was so concerned about a court overturning a duly constituted law passed by a democratically elected Congress, why was he urging a small group of unelected judges to strike down DOMA, a measure that won passage by a far greater margin than Obamacare?
"The answer is, of course, that the administration is making a political argument for its positions, not a legal one. And perhaps counterproductively, the president's decision to bring up Obamacare's history in Congress could end up reminding the public of the tangled circumstances of its passage. Even with a huge majority in the House, Democrats barely passed the bill in the face of bipartisan opposition. And in the Senate, Obamacare succeeded as the result of a set of freakish circumstances that allowed Democrats to pass an unpopular measure into law.
"Those circumstances included the wrongful prosecution of a Republican senator (Ted Stevens), resulting in his seat going to a Democrat; the defection of another Republican senator (Arlen Specter) to the Democrats; and a change in one state's laws (Massachusetts) to allow a Democratic governor to immediately appoint a Democrat to succeed the late Sen. Ted Kennedy and give the Senate a 60-vote Democratic supermajority. And then there were the policy payoffs to some Democratic senators who were undecided about the bill. Even then, Democrats held a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate for just 134 days before Massachusetts elected a Republican senator, Scott Brown, who ran specifically on the platform of stopping Obamacare. But in those 134 days, Democrats managed to pass an unpopular bill into law without a single vote to spare."
"John Roberts has to know and see all this. He has to know that Fifth Circuit Judge Jerry Smith, who asked federal prosecutors for a homework assignment in the wake of Obama's remarks—a brief stating the Justice Department's position on judicial review, that had to be at least three pages, single-spaced!—is making conservatives look silly and cheapening the bench. And he has to know that the court's reputation will suffer an immense blow if it overturns the mandate. It will be seen by a large majority—even a lot of people who weren't crazy about the law—as completely political. Remember, they didn't have to take the case in an election year in the first place. They could have put it off. But the court said it must do this now. If it then overturns the ACA, it will look and smell like a political hit job to many Americans. And the court would be saying to America, 'We know what you think, and we don't give a damn.'…
"The court already—after Bush v. Gore and Citizens United in particular—has one leg dangling off the cliff. If it is going to be nakedly political in its decisions, it will invite political blowback. And if it gets pushed off the cliff, then who or what is our final arbiter in America? The great irony of the conservative moral absolutists is that they have ushered in—by arguing that nothing is above or beyond politics, that all the institutions Americans used to respect were in fact infested with liberal biases and presumptions—the greatest period of relativism in American history. We no longer universally respect anything. There is no reason the court should be immune from that. If the ACA is gutted, it will be liberals who will seek revenge on the court, but remember that it was conservatives who opened the door to pure politicization in the first place."

The medical and surgical options for the treatment of endometriosis may seem bleak, but there are ways in which you can substantially relieve symptoms and possibly reduce endometrial patches and adhesions.
Nutritional and vitamin therapy particularly with Vitamins A, C, E, B6 with B-Complex, calcium and magnesium zinc, selenium, evening primrose oil and chlorophyll. However, you should see a qualified nutritional or dietary therapist for individual prescription. Contact The International Federation of Clinical Nutritionists, Research House, PO Box 131, Fraser Road, Greenford, Middlesex UB6 7DX. Tel. 081 810 5644. Or the Society for the Promotion of Nutritional Therapy (SPNT), First Floor, The Enterprise Centre, StationParade, Eastbourne BN21 1BE. Tel. 0323 430203. In America, contact the American Association of Nutritional Consultants, Suite B-117, 1641 E. Sunset Road, Las Vegas, NV 89119. Tel: (702) 361-1132.
Complementary therapies which claim successful treatment of endometriosis, and may also help deal with the side effects of conventional treatment, include homeopathy, acupuncture, naturopathy and both medical and Chinese herbalism.
In a recent study a traditional Chinese herbal medicine called keishi bukuryo gan, which is used in the treatment of gynecological disorders such as heavy, painful or irregular bleeding and infertility, was shown to suppress development of adenomyosis in mice (Planta Medica, August 1993). Relatively high doses were needed, but there are no side effects with complementary medicine.
The National Endometriosis Society publish a useful information leaflet entitled "Endometriosis and Complementary Therapies" (35 Belgrave Square, London SW1X 8QB, tel: 071 235 4137).
Check that your hormones are functioning properly. Alternative columnist Harald Gaier recommends that women with endometriosis have a hormone profile, eg luteinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, prolactin, progesterone, estrogen etc., done through their GP, to check that hormonal activity is in balance. If anything is found to be out of synch, he recommends regulation by herbal remedies as the least invasive form of therapy.
Investigate food allergy. You must also work with a qualified therapist to try an elimination diet, cutting out one thing at a time, eg, wheat products, dairy products, meat etc., for a few days to see if it relieves any of your symptoms. If there's no change, reintroduce into your diet.
Try to avoid things like alcohol, sugar, allergenic foods and processed foods which have a lot of chemical components, as these are all dietary inhibitors of immune function.
For symptomatic relief of pain and discomfort, try sitz bath therapy. Alternate between sitting in a hot bath (105-150 degrees) for three minutes, then in a cold bath (55-80 degrees) for 30 seconds.

Keep Professor Stephen Kinzer at Northwestern!
To Whom it May Concern, It has come to our attention that Professor Stephen Kinzer's teaching contract is not being renewed for the next academic year. We, the students of Northwestern, feel this is a terrible mistake. Not only is Professor Kinzer an amazing journalist with a plethora of knowledge, experience, insights, and connections to share with his students, he is also an amazing lecturer and undoubtedly one of the best teachers we have had the pleasure to study under at Northwestern. We understand that NU is suffering from the current economic crisis, just like the rest of us, and we understand that the university needs to cut certain parts of the budget. However, as the students who pay tuition and therefore give Northwestern its budget, we feel that letting go of a professor, especially one of the best professors this school has, is not a fair budgetary decision. We are here first and foremost to learn from the best and the brightest, and that is Professor Kinzer. If you do not renew his contract, no the university will not suffer tremendously, but we, the students will. We sincerely resent the administration's willingness to deprive us of the best educational experience possible. Please reconsider your decision. In hard times, such as these, it is easy to forget who we are and why we are here at this most excellent academic establishment. Try to remember. Sincerely, The Students

FORT WAYNE, Ind. – An Indiana man who admitted to fatally bludgeoning and dismembering a 9-year-old girl he was baby-sitting just days before Christmas was sentenced Monday to life in prison.
Michael Plumadore last month pleaded guilty to murder, abuse of a corpse and removing a dead body from the scene in the Dec. 22 death of Aliahna Maroney-Lemmon. Prosecutors had considered the death penalty but agreed to life in prison without the possibility of parole in exchange for the guilty plea.
Calling the case the "worst of the worst," Allen Superior Court Judge Allen Surbeck accepted that plea deal Monday and added an extra 36 years: three more years for abuse of a corpse; three years for moving her body; and 30 years for the murder charge because Plumadore is a habitual offender.
Plumadore, who wore shackles and an orange-and-tan striped jumpsuit, expressed remorse for the girl's death during the hearing.
"I am sorry for the pain and sorrow I caused so many people. ... I'm truly sorry for the crime I committed and the pain I caused," Plumadore said. "No one should be exposed to the things I have done."
Plumadore met Aliahna after her mother, Tarah Souders, moved her three daughters to the rundown trailer park where he lived to help take care of her dying father. The park, which holds about two dozen homes, was teeming with convicted sex offenders, and neighbors say Souders asked her father if any of them — including Plumadore — could be a threat to her children.
Her father assured her the children would be safe.
The day Aliahna died, Plumadore was looking after the third-grader and her 6-year-old sisters at his mobile home because Souders was ill.
At last month's hearing, Plumadore told the judge he killed Aliahna by repeatedly striking her in the head with a brick. He said he then he cut her body up with a hacksaw.
"I put parts in my freezer and took the rest down to the Marathon station and put them in a Dumpster," he said.
Police found the girl's head, hands and feet in the freezer at the mobile home where Plumadore had lived with Aliahna's grandfather, who had died about three weeks earlier. The other remains were thrown into trash bags and discarded at a gas station.
The other girls weren't harmed.
Aliahna's death drew scrutiny to her mother's decision to move to the trailer park and leave the girl in Plumadore's care.
Elizabeth Sepponen, a spokeswoman for the family, told Plumadore at the hearing that the family suffered not just the pain of the murder, but the judgment of the community.
"My cousin Tarah will forever be judged," she said. "You have put a rift in Fort Wayne that I hope someday can be healed."
Surbeck said the death penalty would have been justified because of the dismemberment and the victim's age, as well as Plumadore's criminal history. Since 1992, Plumadore has criminal records in Florida and North Carolina, including convictions for trespassing and assault, and an Indiana conviction for forgery.
"Any time you have a case where your client could face the death penalty, the goal is to save his life," said Plumadore's attorney, Anthony Churchward.
Prosecutor Karen Richards said Aliahna's family asked her not to seek the death penalty. She said she thought they needed finality.
"I can't think of a more horrific crime I've seen involving a more innocent victim. I think it transcends our entire community," she said.

It's really too bad more people don't feel this way.
Carey Mulligan was in New York this morning still promoting Inside Llewyn Davis. Matt Lauer reminded her of when she once said that she'd rather go nude than sing on camera. She was super cute about it. And those dimples came out. Watch the video below. I love her. I LOVE HER SO MUCH. And she looks glorious with the warm brown hair against her skin. Someone needs to write a poem about it, it's so lovely.
Carey was also on Kelly & Michael today. I watched it while I was in makeup – she wore the same outfit. Many of them change between shows. Carey wasn't bothering with changes. F-ck, neither would I. In this weather especially. But I wonder, going forward, if the changing thing becomes the move of the mocktress, and how we differentiate between them and actresses.

I'm about two-thirds of my way though Rex Pickett's sequel to Sideways called Vertical (yes, a review is forthcoming). While the book is an apt successor to it's wildly successful predecessor, I don't think we will see as much of an impact on the wine industry, or Pinot Noir in particular, this time even if they manage to make a movie from it (original cast, please).
But I do think we might see a Sideways-style effect if Pickett's TV project, "The Nose," is ever produced. Loosely based on wine critic Robert Parker and podcaster and all around hustler Gary Vaynerchuk, the series is being developed for HBO. As Blake Gray points out in his post there is a long road ahead before this gets a green light but at least the concept sounds like it might work. My opinion is not shared by Blake's commenters right now but I think they are wrong 😉

I looooove a good reader refash, don't you? 🙂 This one is from Ash!
She began with these two dresses:
And with a few simple straight stitches and a LOT of creativity, look what she ended up with!
My 5-year-old got to be my photographer today. ha! I wear the blue and red striped one a lot but more as a shirt. The hubs and I don't get out enough for the rockin' dresses but they are both so comfortable.
So…would you like to share your refashion on this here blog? Here's a few guidelines to help make it happen! 🙂
1. I need a before AND an after shot! Everyone wants to see your awesome transformation!
1. No cell phone selfies/mirror shots! Get a friend, coworker, or even a total stranger to snap a pic of you!
2. I want to see your wonderful face! Anytime I see a pic with someone cut off at the neck, I assume they're a beheaded corpse and I call the authorities.
3. Bonus points for pics of you wearing your awesome creation out and about in public! Your refashion deserves a life outside of your bedroom. 🙂
Soooo…send those Reader ReFashes to me at [email protected], and you just might end up on the blog! 🙂 I've been really slack with this lately, but I'm planning to share one reader submission per week (just so you're not stuck looking at my goofy mug all the time)! 🙂

wow it looks like GTA VReplyDelete
I can't wait for it
keep going SCSReplyDelete
Is the game just centered in the US, or will there be a few Canadian cities?ReplyDelete
I hope the game won't be delayed by seeking licenses, and you will launch it with fake names if needed as with ETS and ETS2.ReplyDelete
Also would be nice to include some classic trucks like the Pete 379 and the Kenworth K100 in addition to the modern stuff. Is there going to be a second-hand truck market like there was in ALH? cos that was a really neat feature.Replies
Personally, i'm rather tired of Kenworth and Peterbilt. In almost every instance of SCS truck game they are a dime a dozen. For once, I'd like to see some Macks. Like Superliner, or even better, an Ultraliner. Or even better, both. But that's just my opinion.Delete
if this will be awsome and MP , ill buy it on steam if availableReplyDelete
:D nice job SCS !
More traffic, please!ReplyDelete
I though I saw in International ProStar in the 3rd pic! I hope IC will be in the game. :DReplyDelete
It looks like GTA 5ReplyDelete
Is there any chanche to see it out in 2015 ?ReplyDelete
I can't wait American Truck simultorReplyDelete
Good job friendsReplyDelete
Honestly...new screenshots dont excite me anymore..before yes because i was thinking the release was very close..but 2 years of screenshots posts killed it for me,loosing hype slowly and like i said dont wait for a 2015 release licensing trucks will take decades and it seems SCS doesn't want to do a early access so..ReplyDeleteReplies
If it's not ready, it's not ready. For me, I want it now too but I do not want an immature pre-alpha early released pile of crap of a game. Sorry for you that the updates don't make you happy ... I expect you may have company in that boat but you represent a significant minority at present. Reserve a seat for me though if we're 12 months down the road and no closer to release, .Delete
Better have double trailer since we missed out in ets2ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes! Please double trailer in ATS and ETS2Delete
quando vai sai a dlc da scandinavia postem gameplay do atsReplyDelete
This is actually quite ridiculous. Over a year and a half it has taken them for 1 state, 1 STATE! And they're STILL WORKING ON IT. Is it gonna take 50 years to complete the whole game? Because at this rate, it literally will. Why don't they just do an Early Access? They can be bringing revenue in while making the game at the same time....ReplyDeleteReplies
.... and the forums will fill with crying wailing moaning muppets ...... anyone know anything about game development on here?Delete
Remember that SCS is small company now working on World Of Trucks, ETS2 updates, ETS2 Scandinavia expansion and ATS... I'm glad to have patience for the finished game being worth the wait! :-)Delete
third photo really looks like in gta 5 from the santa monica pierReplyDelete
The guys doing the vegetation in this games (euro and american truck) should be fired.ReplyDeleteReplies
+1 for better vegetation. Both The Crew and Forza Horizon have better graphics than this.Delete
The Crew and Forza can afford better graphics, because the likes of Forza probably have more people working on JUST vegetation than SCS has people total. They also work their graphics people to the bone, long hours and no time off. SCS actually cares and take of it's people.Delete
Looks good however I dont think that the trailer s are the proper lenght of 28 39 48 and 53 feet. Anticipating the release date they are going to take years to reach to the east coast where I liveReplyDelete
Brand licensing? Why not just make the trucks as accurate to the real ones as possible and put on a fictional emblem that's not very noticeable? You'd be saving a ton of money that could go towards modeling older trucks instead of being limited to new ones, you could get rid of the overdone signs and other stupid stuff I've been seeing on the map, and you could pay better attention to the TRAILERS (seriously, most of them look awful and don't look anything like real US ones).ReplyDelete
Licensing is the least of your problems, SCS. Believe me.
Still glad to see some attention though. It just doesn't look like there's any progress.Replies
With licensing, they get access to more details on the truck that would otherwise not be available.Delete
Also, people WANT the real trucks
It's just a logo though, it doesn't make the game any better. People who want a real logo on the truck aren't being really logical about it; it jacks the price of the game up for something that can be modded for free and draws too much attention away from things that are more worth their time like the map, (even though it's not like all the devs stop working until the second they get licensing for another truck). That's all I'm saying. I have doubts that they wouldn't be able to model the trucks nicely without getting access to details, which it doesn't look like they have anyway..at least to me anyway. The only reason I'm doubtful is because I have a hard time believing a brand like Peterbilt would give SCS licensing and other companies wouldn't be doing it by now...but I guess It's possible.Delete
Yes, it'd be nice to not have to mod real logos onto a truck like we've always had to in the past, but I'd rather do that than have to go into map editor because they don't realize that intersections with traffic lights don't have stop signs (one of a few examples I was able to spot).
Support CrossFireX (ATI)?? Please :)ReplyDelete
Ayrıl da gel!ReplyDelete
First pic is really nice!ReplyDelete
I love traditional conventional trucks.
SCS Software hello friends , I'm from Mexico and I wonder if American Truck Simulator will include some routes through Mexico , would be very great to include them or some DLC. Greetings and Merry Christmas.ReplyDelete
cade os ''double trailer''????? vai ter ou não???ReplyDelete
I'm still wondering why you don't want to write the name of the cities which will be in ATS and Scandinavia DLC... Why this is a secret? The communication with us players is very good, but sometimes you aren't inform about main things. If you have doubts e.g. about which city should be add to a game you can make a vote on the blog. It is very good opportunity to give players a chance to choose.ReplyDelete
Really hope more attention is paid to engine sounds in ATS. New ones in 1.15 beta are awful and there's still legacy sounds from the original game, such as horn and air brakes.ReplyDelete
aaaahhhhhhhh cara este jogo esta uma deliciaaaa!ReplyDelete
can't wait for this :DReplyDelete
cuando lo sacan al publicoReplyDelete
Very nice SCS!ReplyDelete
FEATURE REQUESTSReplyDelete
1)second picture
could have a better look
2)the rims could have a better look / more real especialy the rear rims
3)the grass straws /grass could have better look and should be able to move especialy when wind is up
of trees and bushes
which gives the game liveliness
what it definetly needs
4)in the interior should have more motion
for example cable from cb radio device should have natural movings/ physics
of course interior courtains, a figure/ a tip/ a icon hangs in the middle of interior should have natural movings / physics
5) adjusting steering wheel more/less vertical, longer/shorter
6) motion and vibration interior/exterior when starting truck
when pulling heavy haul/ uphill
when using jack brake the vibration inside and outside
7) panorama view for interior view
that you have a better overview in cockpit
rather that(panorama) feels more like truck driving than the current view that feels like car driving /driving with blinders
8) the motion of truck seat is a good idea thank you for that but its some adjustments
the faster i drive the more should the truck seat bounce
for example on the highways you should definetly feel the ground waves
please make an option for modders to adjust motion of truck seat so they can play with option to became a better result
thank you, for reading scs team
dear god i cant waitReplyDelete
Release it already!ReplyDelete
JUST A LITTLE TIP :ReplyDelete
Will the trucks roll coal? Just wondering because it's fun on Spintires.ReplyDelete
I really hope soReplyDelete
Speaking of company permissions have you got permission from Mercedes-Benz yet as I cant wait for the real company logos to be added to the game thats not a mod or anything and keep up the good work SCSReplyDelete
When will we have the game available for purchase?ReplyDelete

Im looking forward to American Truck Simulator and I hope you get all the lisences for the trucks and I hope you iclude Freightliner TrucksReplyDelete
Operating as being a athletics club boss is a difficult job. Nonetheless athletics supervision software can make the job easier by managing your hard work and generating game accounts automatically. Dealing with records typically seems to be troublesome.php developer for hireReplyDelete
cant wait!! great job guysReplyDelete
Nice to know about this software. My son really enjoying it a lot.Good work done on this blog, its really very informative. However if you want to check the Vin of your car so side a look on mazda vin.ReplyDelete
And yet I think it would be better to make ETS2 and ATS one simulator. Adding thereby transporting goods across the Atlantic with the replacement truck for the corresponding localization. However, the required ports on the East coast of the USA! Oh dream of dreams!))ReplyDelete
1q - what about doubles?ReplyDelete
Which steering wheel should i buy: Logitech Driving Force GT or Logitech G27?ReplyDelete

site modReplyDelete
If scs software is reading this I really enjoy playing ETS2 and I like your idea of doing another american truck simulator game. I hope if you haven't already done this you will think about these ideas but I would really like to see when you hit something or rub against something that you will have real damage visible on the ruck like dents and paint scratches depending on how bad the damage/hit was parts missing or hanging off the truck like a part or the grill or a light or a mirror could be missing the bumper could be barely hanging on until you fix it or your truck is damaged enough you can drive it until its fixed. I want to be able to service my truck like a real truck driver would like change the oil after so many miles etc... it should where out to a point where you should have to scrap it and buy a new one. I want to see all 4 seasons all weather conditions. and I would also like to see you take a delivery to more than just one location cause sometimes truckers depending on the route they have like wal-mart for an example have 2 or 3 walmarts to go to in one route like say there delivering a frozen and dairy truck.ReplyDelete
I've almost given up on this game (ATS). Almost.ReplyDelete

Scene Release RulesMar 16
Standards in the warez scene are defined by groups of people who have been involved in its activities for several years and have established connections to large groups. These people form a committee, which creates drafts for approval of the large groups. In organized warez distribution, all releases must follow these predefined standards to become accepted material. The standards committee usually cycles several drafts and finally decides which is best suited for the purpose, and then releases the draft for approval. Once the draft has been signed by several bigger groups, it becomes ratified and accepted as the current standard. There are separate standards for each category of releases.
An overview of these rules can be found here

The 1852 District 1, Sutton, Missisquoi Co., Census - Reel 1127
The official enumeration date for the 1852 census was January 12th, 1852 and ages were supposed to be recorded according to that date. The District two enumerator took his oath regarding completion of the census on February 16th, 1852. District one may have been enumerated on a nearby date. This date should be considerred when interpretting the "Age Next Birthday".
Approximately 1249 individuals
Oldest person John McCart, age 90
The census is in two parts: Schedule A is the Personal Census and lists each person in the household. Schedule B is the Agricultural Census and lists landowners. Each entry in each Schedule is on four pages that span three sheets. The first page is on the right side of the first sheet. The next two pages are on the next sheet and the last page is on the left side of the third sheet. Each sheet is numbered. Some families continue from one sheet onto the next. It is unclear if the enumerator failed to complete these sheets sequentially or whether the sheet numbers were applied later. None the less, mistakes were made so that the continuation of one sheet is not always found at the beginning of the next sequentially numbered sheet. Persons using the following transcriptions and indices are cautioned to be alert to this problem. District one of Sutton appears to be sequenced correctly.
The sheet number headings and all sheet number references have been faithfully retained, consistent with the original document.
Spelling was not standardized till about 1900. Prior to that it was essentially phonetic. For this reason, names are found with multiple spelling variations. Further, the use of "ss" was only coming into use around the time of this census so that names containing what would be an "ss" today are often found with and "fs" instead. This transcription has preferred to reproduce what appeared to be the original spelling in all its forms. In some cases a preferred or modern spelling has been included as an "Alternate Surname" but this is only the transcriber's opinion. If you see something that does not agree what is written on the original image, please bring it to the attention of . Some entries are incorrect in the original census. Please check the images first. I will not make changes to "correct" such errors in the original, no matter how well documented the evidence is. High quality images of this census are available at the Library and Archives Canada web site.

Today, I was reading some of my Twitter stream when a few came across about Ford Motor Company and Cafe Press, and a calendar. Okay, not exactly ground breaking, blogworthy news, but some people already jumped on a bandwagon so I had to check it out. Full disclosure: I was born in Detroit, and we had a Mustang, and I've bought stuff on Cafe Press.
This reminded me of a conversation I had a few weeks back with a well-respected reporter: there's truth, and then there's blogosphere truth. And, rarely do they meet. (Hey, look at my great graph illustrating it).
What do I mean? What happens usually in the blogosphere is that something is glommed onto as truth, and that might not be the full truth or even the half truth. But, with the blogosphere, things can spiral out of control quickly, and then the blogosphere truth will be so far away from the truth that it's laughable ... but it's not because the blogosphere truth will be held up as authoritative because of how Google works.
Here are four simple examples: Kryptonite Locks, FedEx Furniture, Staples and Ford. Each of these have been wrong information that has continued to spread out there, and for some reason, PR people like to bring some of these up as examples of why social media is so important.
- I'm going to start with Kryptonite, and a full mea culpa. I jumped on the bandwagon as well, and I was wrong. The back story is that you could break open the old Kryptonite lock with a Bic pen, yada yada (good information when you wanted to get free candy, btw). The blogosphere truth was that Kryptonite ignored the blogosphere, and did its crisis communications wrong. The truth is that Kryptonite did do the right type of outreach for a crisis - they followed the rules of the game - but the game had changed. It went from billiards to soccer, or some random sports analogy. Kryptonite was reaching out to its core audience of bike message boards, and getting the message out there to the core audience.
But, well, that doesn't make for a good case study for PR people to push forward their own agendas on getting clients to bring out the wallet for more social media ... and the fact that PR people are still using this as a case study means it's time to move on and find a more relevant and truthful example.
- FedEx Furniture was a great little example of how one kid can take a bunch of boxes for free (yah, sending out that many FedExes while he couldn't afford furniture is SOOOOO true) but no one wanted to dig. As PR people - come on, we're PR people before PR bloggers, it was not hard to call up FedEx and ask them questions (like, I admit, I shoulda done with Kryptonite). Hey, wait, there WAS a blogger that called FedEx and got their side of the story ... me. The truth was that there was more of a story here than the blogosphere wanted to know, or tell. But, not to place the blame just on the blogosphere ... mainstream media ate up the story as well, with no real digging or due diligence.
- Boing Boing rushes out a post that claims that Staples charges for virus scanning. A PR blogger jumps on the story, and then realizes that he is just one of the fools that wrote up the story ... without getting the full story. But, hey, he gets to commend Staples for being on top of the blogosphere ... but doesn't see that blogging on blog truth instead of the real truth is just the bigger part of the problem.
- So, today's Ford story. In the world of blogs, it is not okay to protect your brand, I guess. Or content (just ask Lane Hartwell). You can read the rehash of the story on the above link, but it's only a one-sided story, until the company itself comments on the post (which does say they are monitoring the conversation). But, as a PR blogger, once again, don't we have a higher sense of truthiness (or, heck, professional courtesy) to verify information before we hit publish? Call up the PR person? Send an email? I dunno - worked for me with FedEx.
Rushing to publish just makes a blogger part of the lemmings that fall for the bait of other bloggers. And to perpetrate the blogosphere truth, rather than the truth.
The irony, of course, is that we all counsel clients, and one of the things I would note when there was a fire drill is that the blogosphere tends to be self-correcting. And, often, it is, and that's a great thing.
But in some cases, the blogosphere truth becomes the gospel, and no amount of praying to anyone is going to help change that.

Well-placed sources tell us that New Line Cinema may finally be getting around to making a feature-film adaptation of the graphic novel, Y: The Last Man.
Of course, when a project has been in development for almost a decade, it can sometimes be difficult to get excited about the latest twist or turn. But even still, we hear that the studio is very pleased with a draft from former Jericho writers Matthew Federman and Stephen Scaia, and has already begun the process of meeting with director candidates to hire for the project.
For those unfamiliar, Y is a classic in the comic book–graphic novel world. Written by Brian K. Vaughn (who also worked on several seasons of Lost), it tells the story of a guy and his pet monkey — the only survivors of the apparent simultaneous death-by-plague of every male mammal on Earth. Over the years, it's attracted all sorts of directors, including most recently, Disturbia director DJ Caruso, who left the project two years ago.
