Race horse bloodlines will tell you only so much. The track is the ultimate test.
Arizona cotton growers are ready to put their stable of new cotton varieties on the track to see if any — and they have a stable full — can beat the current competition.
Pinal County, Ariz., cotton producers Paul "Paco" Ollerton, C.L. "Bill" Scott and others believe the race now under way to develop new cotton varieties in a grower-financed breeding program may be a race for survival of the Arizona cotton industry.
Ollerton is immediate past chairman of the Arizona Cotton Research and Protection Council and now chairman of the Arizona Cotton Growers Association variety development committee. He succeeded Scott as chairman of the committee searching for new grower-developed cotton varieties.
Arizona cotton growers are moving into their fourth season of trying to develop cotton varieties they believe will be more suited for Arizona than what is now available from commercial seed companies.
Scott has been the leader in this effort for years. He and many of his peers believe commercial seed companies develop cotton varieties better suited for other parts of the U.S. Cotton Belt, but want Arizona producers to grow the varieties for planting seed because weather conditions are none better than in the Grand Canyon State.
'Not taking care'
"Commercial cotton breeders are not taking care of us in Arizona. They only want Arizona for seed production and consider lint a byproduct," said Ollerton.
Arizona ranked second in average upland yield last year with 1,371 pounds of lint per acre, behind only California's record upland average of 1,525 pounds in 2004.
Still Ollerton and Scott believe the cotton growers' variety development program funded by a 25-cent per bale assessment can do better.
But that is only half the story. Scott says Arizona cotton quality must be improved, significantly and quickly.
"At one time I said that we could stay in the cotton business if we could produce tons of cotton," said Scott. "That is no longer the case. It is a changing world. We have to have quality for Arizona to stay in the cotton business."
Scott said Arizona cotton is now discounted up to 14 cents per pound on the world market.
The vast majority of Arizona cotton is exported to 3 markets, China India and Pakistan. Australians have taken the Indonesian markets away from Arizona growers. Plus, Fibermax from the Texas High Plains and Coastal Bend areas are also eroding away Arizona world cotton markets. Brazilian cotton is now competing directly with Arizona growths as well.
"We do not have a lot of marketing options left," said Scott.
While Arizona's reputation for high micronaire cotton has hurt them, it is the lack of length and strength that are the real discounters, said Scott.
"We have a lot of exceptional long and high strength cotton in the 350 lines from the 2003 grower funded nursery, 1.20 and greater length and 30 grams per tex or stronger strength. We have some cottons approaching SJV quality," said Scott. "Quality is there. We now have to see if it will yield consistently. We acknowledge that it is difficult to get yield and quality off the same cotton bush, but we are determined to try."
Quality critical
"I can see the day when we may not be able to sell Arizona cotton at any price unless we improve the quality," said Ollerton. "I think we are on the road to achieving the quality we need to sell Arizona cotton."
And Ollerton and Scott said the grower-financed breeding program has plenty of high quality material in its breeding program that will feature 10 lines in advance screening this year at 3 locations in the state, Yuma, Stafford and Central Arizona. Plus there will be about 45 additional lines to be grown in preliminary tests at 2 locations.
"And we have some outstanding quality in the 350 lines we sent to Cotton Incorporated for HVI testing. All the lines came from the cotton growers 2003 nursery," which was basically the beginning point for the grower program.
"If we are to survive as cotton growers, we recognize we have to have yield," said Ollerton. "Not necessarily four bales, but we definitely must have quality. We may be able to open up niche markets for unique quality from Arizona."
"We cannot continue to be at the mercy of the commercial seed companies who keep changing varieties on us every few years," said Ollerton.
Scott said the grower-financed program there has generated "a heckuva lot of germplasm in a short period of time. Companies in business lot longer than we have do not have this much diversity in their program" said Scott.
Arizona growers have a total 2,400 different lines in their breeding effort after just four years.
Pinal/Pima counties University of Arizona Extension Agent Steve Husman is directing the growers' program field trials. Scott and Ollerton also give credit to Cotton Incorporated's Roy Cantrell and Don Jones for helping Arizona growers with testing and other elements of the breeding program as part of CI's commitment to develop new cotton germplasm.
Credit also is given to Michael Gilbert, the former breeder for the program.
'Lot of support'
"We have had a lot of support from a lot of people. Another of those was Arizona breeder Jim Olvey who helped us with some germplasm," said Ollerton.
The earliest growers can expect on-farm testing of promising varieties is 2007, said Ollerton. "We have 3 varieties coming back for a second year of testing this season, and we may have something for growers to try year after next. If they look good in '05, we can seed increase in '06 and maybe have a commercial variety by '08."
That would be the earliest and only if one of the promising lines now in the screening trials we have now do not collapse this season, added Ollerton.
Arizona growers were the first to grow transgenic cottons and Ollerton and Scott admit at some point they must be introduced in the growers breeding program.
"However, transgenics are not for everyone. Some people do not need them. Some growers want to keep the old non-transgenic lines we still have available and some are even saving their own seed. That is a wreck waiting to happen, but that is how serious people are about not having to plant transgenic cottons," said Scott.
It will be more expensive this season to plant trangenics with technology fees going up 25 to 30 percent, according to Ollerton. That is adding impetus to the development of an Arizona grower cotton.
"We are gong to have to offer genes in our cottons because that is what some consumers want, but if we can eradicate the pink bollworm as we think we can, that will reduce the need for Bt cotton, said Ollerton. Arizona cotton growers voted last year to fund a pink bollworm eradication effort, but it is being held up for lack of federal support money.
Wants state program
Scott makes no bones about his desire to have an Arizona breeding program patterned after the California grower run system. "I went to Australia several years ago. Their system is patterned after California and improved. They have gone from an average yield of one bale per acre to 3 bales in just 30 years. Their breeding program, selection and isolation process are like nothing else I have seen. They develop varieties and stick with them," said Scott.
As Arizona acreages goes down, many of the commercial seed companies have gone to California to grow planting seed.
"Let SJV have the seed business. Guys there are smarter than we are because they seem to get a lot more money for seed contracts than we do," said Ollerton. Contracts for up to $200 per acre are being offered for seed production in Central Arizona.
"Here all we get is a $45 per ton seed premium," said Ollerton.
Ollerton said the Arizona cotton industry could be considered a "dying industry. Fifteen to 18 years ago we had 800,000 acres of cotton in the state. Now we cannot muster 250,000," said Ollerton.
The producer admitted a growing dairy industry has taken cotton land for forage crops, but that, Ollerton said, does not account for acres of lost cotton production.
Housing has become a big land consumer in Arizona, taking 5,000 acres per year.
"Not all of the 500,000 acres of cotton we have lost has been to dairies and subdivisions," Ollerton. Cotton has lost acreage because yields have not increased and quality has not improved to improve cotton's return with rising costs, he said.
'Bring new life'
"I think as we evaluate where this program has come from in the past four years, it will bring new life and vitality for Arizona cotton," said Ollerton.
For Scott, the grower breeding program is a personal legacy. Scott grew his first Central Arizona cotton in 1957.
"I can honestly say I have never lost a dime growing cotton. I have lost a lot of money in other crops, but never cotton. I guess that is why I have a soft spot for it," he said.
However, for Scott to continue making money with cotton he believes new higher quality cottons must be developed.

Kyle Smith of The New York Post:
The July 27 ceremony, conceived by Oscar-winning "Slumdog Millionaire" and "Trainspotting" director Danny Boyle, will pay careful attention to Britain's shame, with tableaux devoted to the denial of voting rights to women, Industrial Revolution pollution, the Great Depression and exploitation of the workers.
Instead of celebrating Nelson and Wellington, the show will feature scary soldiers "erupting" out of the ground like lava. A centerpiece will be a reenactment of a 200-mile 1936 workers' march from the North to London to protest living conditions.
"Brideshead Revisited," this ain't. Call it Painspotting.

Build Guide by
Not Updated For Current Season

Thank You!

Sivir Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
About the build:
This build makes Sivir the ultimate Assist so don't expect 20/2/3 but expect 3/2/20.
Summoner Spells:
- Exhaust and Ignite make the best combination for hunting cause well people who get slowed don't run away and people how get Ignited die faster.
- Clarity can also help spawning richochets at high lvl but i don't recommend them.
- The spells that you really shouldn't use are Flash/Smite cause they are absolutly useless with this build.
- The reason I got Sivir alot of MP is cause boomerang blade deals Magic Damage as do richochets so it helps alot.
- I also Suggest the mana regen cause her skills aren't cheap on mana so use them wise.
Mastery Tree:
- the offensive Skill tree speaks for its self cause you willl be doing alot of DOT in really short periods.
Early Game:
- Getting Philo's is almost crusial cause you are gonna need the mana regen boost, you can buy Chalice instead but the gold boost is something you gonna need with the build.
- berserks are the best boots for this build cause the ATS works great, but if the enemy has Heavy CC just get Merc's instead.
Mid Game:
- Getting malady is a SuperB way to keep your enemy busy while teammates finish them up.
- First 2x Zeal: Why 2 Zeal's?
- cause you will need them for 2 Phantom's :)
- cause 2 zeals is better then 1 Phantom.
- Now get 2 Phantoms.
Late Game:
- OK time for some damage boosting
- First get Bloodthirster for a hard to kill target and becoming one your self.
- Second buy Black Cleaver for an even harder to kill target (Rammus or something).
- Hang on to your allies cause you aren't hard to kill in Early/Mid game just hang in there and w8 for Boomerang Moments (Takes time to master) make good use of your Spellshield cause its a waste of Mana if not used well but if you do use it well you'll be able to cast boomerang alot.
- Don't go mid...
Tactics to use at all time:
- The Extreme Movement Speed gets you in alot of moment's in which you'll be able to final kill enemy's or Run like hell while the rest of your party suffurs a Heroic Death.
- Using Ricochet on Building Will make Enemy champ do alot of stupid things that they will regret (like waiting directly behind a tower).
- changes Lanes alot!! cause it will confuse the enemy and make them seperate.

I am sooooooooo ticked off at my ex!! What an enabler he is! My 18 year old son, who finished high school in June, and immediately moved in with his USELESS excuse for a father, is sitting on his butt all day, every day playing videos! Why did I create a "college fund" over the years if my son isn't going to go there?!??! Man, am I furious! In addition to "sitting on his butt all day", he has also picked up MANY of his fathers bad habits. All they eat is JUNK FOOD! Seriously, just junk food. When my son was living we me and my current husband, he eat healthy food, and claimed to "love" it! What is up with this new way??Weel, guess I have to ignore it, but it feels really good to "bitch"!

What in the name of Adolph Rupp is going on here?
Though outside the Top 25, Siena received eight votes in the preseason ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll, released Thursday. That's more votes than several major programs, including Kentucky.
Siena wasn't very close to the Top 25 — Villanova, the No. 25 team, recieved 122 votes. But according to the panel of coaches, Siena is better than the following programs: Kentucky, Oklahoma State, Clemson and Washington State — all of them received fewer votes.
Siena coach Fran McCaffery is among the 31 Division I coaches voting this year. Unlike in The Associated Press poll, expected to be released Friday, coaches' ballots are not made public until after the season.
But here are a few of the voting coaches who probably are up on the Saints: Phil Martelli (Saint Joseph's), Jim Boeheim (Syracuse), Tom Green (Fairleigh Dickinson), Tom Pecora (Hofstra) and Gary Williams (Maryland).
Siena will have every opportunity to improve its standing at the Old Spice Classic. Its first-round opponent, Tennessee, is ranked No. 13. Other participating schools who were ranked include Michigan State (No. 7), Gonzaga (No. 11) and Georgetown (No. 18). Pittsburgh (No. 6) and Kansas (No. 23) are ranked, too.
This marks the first time Siena has received votes in a Top 25 poll since December of 1999. The Paul Hewitt-led Saints finished the season 24-9.

|International Friendship Partner
|Over 141 countries are represented at our local colleges and universities and we have the opportunity to show international students the love of Jesus while they are here! You or your family can build a relationship with an international student by having them over for dinner, taking them to fun events, or just taking them to shop for groceries.
Why should I be an International Friendship Partner?
Being an International Friendship Partner is a unique opportunity to do international ministry without ever going overseas!
- 70% of international students don't set foot in an American home
- 80% of international students don't set foot in an American church
It is estimated that one in four international students studying in the US today will lead the world tomorrow, and by the year 2025, half of the world's leaders will have been an international student. When international students return home, they return as leaders who will go back and have influence in their home country. God has given us a chance to influence world leaders right in our own backyard!
What is involved?
You/your family can meet with the student you are matched with about once a month for a meal or an activity. You and the student can commit to one school year or one semester at a time. International students are excited to learn more about American families and American culture. You can show them God's love simply by being their friend, sharing about your life, and taking an interest in theirs. If you are interested in learning more, email Amanda in Student Ministries.

Chapters 16 through 18 Summary and Analysis
Chapter 16: Clarity of Vision
The next day, Mary was more alert but noticed that her vision was blurry. She tried to read the Bible but she had trouble reading it. She was able to read "Rejoice always" and "Pray without ceasing" both in Thessalonians. She became inspired and thought about the concept of prayer. She had always prayed for guidance and help from God which was perfectly acceptable. However, what she learned from her experience and recovery was the power of people praying for others. Her vision remained blurry for several more days.
Chapter 17: Conversing with an Angel
Mary spent many hours trying to determine what God's will was - where he was trying to take her. What was the purpose of the accident and ordeal she was going through? While she was trapped in her kayak, she had...

Place a small sprig of bright green parsley on your plate for attractive visual appeal. Ingest a bit of this super herb in a salad, juice or vegetarian stew and you'll bring pizzazz to your diet and good health to your body.
That's right, parsley is not just a pretty decoration. It is a powerful source of nutrients ranging from anti-oxidants to folic acid; an excellent source of vitamins B and A.
Parsley is easy to grow year-round, inexpensive, and tasty, too. Parsley deserves its super-food title. It assists in the treatment of kidney stones, urinary tract infections, high blood pressure, gastrointestinal conditions, colic, fluid retention, coughing, diabetes, prostate problems, osteoarthritis and spleen issues, arthritis, anemia and bad breath.
Parsley is associated with initiating menstrual flow and has aphrodisiac properties. Applying parsley to the skin will ease the discomfort of lice, irritated skin, bruises and bug bites. It has even been known to stimulate hair growth.
Rich in the B vitamin folic acid, parsley is good for your heart. The folic acid in parsley may assist in minimizing the risk of colon and cervical cancer – areas of the body with cells that divide very fast.
Choose fresh parsley whenever possible – just cut a few snips from your windowsill herb garden and be sure to wash it in cold water before using. When cooking, make it one of the last ingredients to add to your dish to enjoy the biggest benefit in nutrition and in taste. Don't overpower your dishes with parsley – a little goes a long way – but try a dash or two in soups, tomato sauce, salads, or sprinkle chopped parsley on vegetables right before serving.
Don't forget to include parsley when you are preparing your favorite green veggie juice or smoothie, or add to your glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. Try a refreshing glass of nothing-but-parsley juice – you will need about a half-cup of chopped parsley to make one ounce of juice. super food By Tricia Danflous Parsley
● Boil a quart of water
● When it begins to boil, pour over a full cup of fresh parsley
● Steep for 10 to 15 minutes
● Strain, refrigerate and enjoy by the cupful.
Be careful: avoid the overuse of parsley if you are pregnant.

Question: Do readers frequently misunderstand your work?
Tim O'Brien: There are those, and it's not a function of age, and it probably isn't even a function entirely of education or political leanings. But there's a temper in probably America for sure, I know in America and maybe worldwide for the literal. A literal take on everything that reality TV has taken advantage of and incorporated as part of itself. And the literal take on things is a take without irony and without edge and without... it's usually a fairly—there's a certitude to it. Why don't you write a book that has nothing to do with war? As if that's a certain possibility, you should certainly try to do it as a way of recovering from the war. And you want to say a number of things. That this is just not a book about war, you idiot. It's a book about love and a book about storytelling. But you also feel overwhelmed by the knowledge that you're not going to get through, that the literal-minded are going to remain literal-minded. And maybe someone else can help them, but someone else is not this guy. So, there's a wave of anger, or bitterness. It has to do with Vietnam, and it has to do with a kind of mindset of the literal all around me that doesn't fit my take on the world and my experience in the world where it's hard for me to take anything very literally.
The words "I love you." As soon as they're uttered, I'm suspect. How much? And when will you stop? And will you? In what way do you love me? And what is love to you, by the way? Is it forever or is it until the next person who passes you? All this stuff complicates. Whereas someone else will say, well, love is love. If you don't know what it is, then really, poor guy. And that's their take.
Question: Is fiction's job to find the truth behind that kind of cliché?
Tim O'Brien: It partly is that. I probably skew it, parody it, make fun of it, ridicule it and put it in its place. Partly I'm sympathetic to the literal. That is, I'm sympathetic with some mom who is holding a dead kid in their arms, and how else is she going to take it? But "Here's my dead child." And so there's a part of me that understands it and is sympathetic to it. And probably the better part of me is that way, or I have at least some capacity—I think as novelists kind of have to have to imagine otherness. Outside oneself. And as a consequence, my books are filled with characters who bear no resemblance to me and who can be villainous in ways that I'm not villainous and be good in ways I'm not good that I think the capacity for empathy, or understanding goes with a successful book because you have to create other characters and other angles of vision on material for a book to ring with some kind of authenticity.
Among my fellow soldiers in Vietnam, I mean there was and remains to this day a kind of absence of that kind of empathy. A dead child is a dead gook, and a dead Vietnamese woman, or one of their legs blown off is a gook with her legs blown off. And it pretty much remains that way to this day, 40 years later: these same buddies I served with in Vietnam don't have much empathy for the so-called enemy. And I doubt they would be capable of—because that's there—writing "The Things They Carried." They'd write another book, but it would be a much different book.

While my students were on the carpet, I did a quick drawing showing my students they could make a box by drawing a large square and then a rectangle shaped lid. I have spent a lot of time modeling how to draw for my students. I do not have to spend that much time now because they have all gotten so good at using shapes to make things and adding details to their pictures.

SAN FRANCISCO -- The surging number of retiring baby boomers will be the largest opportunity in financial services during the next 20 years -- but the toll inflicted upon them by the 2008-09 economic crisis will make it tougher for financial advisors to capture their business, according to the head of a consulting firm that advises the industry.
U.S. households have far less overall wealth and far more skepticism toward the financial industry than they did five years ago, said Chip Roame, managing partner of Tiburon Strategic Advisors, before an audience of executives from broker-dealers, custodian providers, asset managers and technology companies gathered in San Francisco Tuesday.
"Consumers are $4 trillion poorer than they were in 2007," Roame said, referring to the aggregate drop in U.S. household net worth.
At the same time, the scandals surfacing since the financial meltdown have soured consumer attitudes toward the financial services industry; its reputation is now worse than that of any other U.S. sector except for tobacco and government, he said.
The loss of wealth and heightened skepticism are driving more consumers to manage their own finances, which will in turn require new strategies from RIAs. Roame predicts they'll need to focus more on marketing and offer broader financial planning services to clients, rather than merely providing investment advice, as the boomers transition into retirement.
"What do boomers do when they retire? They sell their business, downsize their house, and roll over their 401(k) into an IRA," Roame reminded the audience at the Tiburon CEO Summit. With 10,000 boomers retiring every day, he said, "the liquidation of their assets is the biggest opportunity today, and it will be for the next 20 years."
Smarter Tactics
For advisors, the takeaways focused on marketing and customer service.
"If your aspiration as an advising firm is 'bigness,' it's all about marketing," said Roame. He pointed to the success of Edelman Financial Group, which has grown quickly, thanks to aggressive marketing and customer service that placed it at the top of Barron's annual ranking of independent advisors.
Roame also pointed to studies saying almost half of clients say they'd change financial service providers because of general levels of service.
New Demands
Despite the challenges, one veteran investor who heard Roame's keynote address was upbeat. "There is a lot of skepticism out there, but people won't run from investment advice," said Bill Harris, the CEO of Personal Capital Corp. and a former CEO of both Intuit and PayPal.
"The traditional asset management model has been a paternalistic one, with advisors patting the client on the head and saying, 'let me handle it,'" Harris said. "That doesn't fly anymore. Baby boomers want transparency and visibility, which means you've got to have data" to support investment management decisions.
What's needed are new "hybrid solutions," said Harris. "You need a combination of [customer] touches and technology."

B. C. Forbes Quotes About EnthusiasmQuotes about: Enthusiasm
It can be set down as a broad, general principle that we cannot indulge in idleness and abundance during both the first and second half of our life. Study, application, industry, enthusiasm while we are young usually enable us to enjoy life when we grow older. But unless we toil and strive and earn all we can in the first half, the second half of our life is liable to bring disappointment, discomfort, distress. The time to put forth effort is when we are most able to do it, namely, in the years of our greatest strength. The law of compensation hasn't ceased to function.
First make sure that what you aspire to accomplish is worth accomplishing, and then throw your whole vitality into it. What's worth doing is worth doing well. And to do anything well, wheter it be typing a letter or drawing up an agreement involving millions, we must give not only our hands to the doing of it, but our brains, our enthusiasm, the best - all that is in us. The task to which you dedicate yourself can never become a drudgery.

According to the BLS...
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)(1) defines a fine artist as the type of creative worker who prepares show pieces for museums or sells fine art for personal or public use. As such, the artist may receive an order for a piece of artwork or work creatively and then try to sell the items via art galleries or art dealers.
The BLS warns that many a fine artist will have a difficult time to solely rely on their art to support themselves and instead will be required to also work another job on the side. It is undoubtedly this bit of information that has parents worry about their artistically inclined students. Interestingly, there are some little-known options.
- slide 2 of 6
Capitalize on the Differences
The standard difference between a fine arts and a standard arts degree is the use of the finished product. Fine arts tend to refer to aesthetically pleasing forms of painting, sculpting and other visual art forms. A standard arts degree emphasizes the practical nature of the craft, such as the creation of furniture, fashion or industrial designs.
For example, the University of Louisville(2) offers a Bachelor of Arts degree that emphasizes drawing, photography and mixed media work. In contrast, a Bachelor of Fine Arts is offered to the studio artist who wishes to work in communication art and design as well as interior architecture.
The school outlines that a studio artist may find employment as an advertising artist, graphic designer, art therapist, display painter, landscape architect, color expert, calligrapher, furniture designer, engraver, mannequin decorator and more. The Academy of Art University's School of Fine Art(3) underscores this trend by also adding jewelry design to its offerings.
- slide 3 of 6
After the Bachelor Degree
Although an advanced degree is not necessary to begin receiving fiscal remuneration and build name-recognition from a fine arts degree, it is vital to remember that arts – just like any other money-making field of business – are competitive endeavors. Mere talent, drive and a desire to succeed are insufficient. As outlined by the DePaul career center(4), specialization is a key component to this type of education and the development of a professional portfolio must be an ongoing labor of love.
Artists should consider relocating (at least temporarily) to major metropolitan areas where their crafts are in demand. For example, set designers may consider spending some time in Hollywood, California to get studio experience while fashion artists and designers will be wise to visit and work in New York City, for hands-on practical experience in what is termed the "fashion capital of the United States."
Concurrently, students profit from interpersonal and professional networking, volunteering and apprenticing. A frequently overlooked but nevertheless crucial aspect of building name recognition, is professional representation. Artists' agents and representatives can be instrumental when finding an 'in' with the art-buying or commissioning crowd simply by the contacts they have built.
- slide 4 of 6
Dollars and Cents
Just like any other type of degree, a fine arts degree is not cheap. For example, an undergraduate credit hour at the University of Louisville is $351. Of course, the average cost of college credits is greatly determined by location and school type.
Since plenty of fine artists are self-employed, it is difficult to ascertain what the average annual income may be. Evaluating the salaries of employed artists for whom the figures are available, the BLS averages the annual salary of a fine artist to be right around $23,600 while the average income of an art director is approximately $84,200.
- slide 5 of 6
Now that you know the difference between a fine art and an art degree and have come to realize just how much you can do with a fine arts degree, the question now is...Do I have what it takes to obtain it?

Music is in every atom of his being. It is something he craves. It is something he needs. It is his drug. He cannot center his self without having this creative flow. DJ Lion-O remembers, as a child in elementary school about to graduate to middle school, the band visited, recruiting new members. He wanted to play the cello so he could play the theme song for Jaws. There was something about those deep tones that resonated in him. To his dismay his father would not allow him to play an instrument. He reflects that it was probably a mixture of money and a desire for peace and quiet in the house.
Through his childhood this embryonic desire to create music existed in his heart. It was not until his 20's though that he acquired his first instrument, an acoustic guitar. A series of life events, including schooling, kept him from practicing it. It was not until graduating college and had come back to Houston that DJ Lion-O's musical journey began.
He started playing hand percussion and joined his first band, 4Element. The only American in the band, he was playing the most ethnic instrument. The band members were from France and Argentina. It was progressive rock. This was to be his crash course on many musical things. He started to write lyrics and play with electronics. But eventually 4Element dissolved and he had to forge ahead.
After a long hunt searching for a new project, it was through an ad online that DJ Lion-O met Mark Badillo who introduced him to Shaka. As a duo they began fleshing out songs, which eventually started a band called The Soarce. It was also the genesis for DJ Lion-O's first album, Dirty Desires, which included the songs Stripper Girl, Roman Orgy, and These Things. Dirty Desires was mainly programmed but with guitar, bass and vocals accompaniment.
The programming experience inspired two more albums. Soy Montana was an instrumental album, mostly techno driven. The other one, Altered, was a group of ambient pieces. It was inspired by such great albums as Pink Floyd's Animals.
After the rigidity of electronic music, DJ Lion-O started working with improvisational elements. A new project came together called Suns of The Tide. It included 4Element's bassist, Cédric Theys, and Orents Stirner's vocalist, Fletcher Stafford. The trio eventually joined forces in Orent Stirner for quite some time.
Then for 5 years, DJ Lion-O focused more on other art forms such as digital design, painting, writing and of course, more unreleased music. It was time to release a new album in the vein of Soy Montana but with all the experiences of the past years. It feels that this fourth album is a distillation of the previous ones. Visceral is again all instrumental but no voices are needed to make a point. There's a sense of peace in this collection even though some of the subject matters, alluded to by the titles, are from deep inside.
Having now moved to Denver, DJ Lion-O is currently playing for a folk based experimental project that has yet to be named. Karmic Popsicle comes to mind as a good band name. His musical journey still continues to this day... to be continued!

Buy Steamscapes now!
for Print and Print+PDF bundles!
for a convenient PDF source!
Among the teasers for Steamscapes: Asia, I included a brief discussion about a specific historical easter egg in the book that I wanted to call to everyone's attention. Now that the book is out, I thought I would go through some of the other little things we've managed to get into the book that make me happy.
There are certainly more little additions to the book that make me happy, but for now I'll leave you with those. If you want to see these easter eggs and find even more, go buy Steamscapes: Asia right now!

Oblivion overrides gamepad emulation!
I need some help. I just bought a Steelseries 3GC USB controller and the GOTY Oblivion game today, Ive finally managed to figure out the right analog stick issue (via the mode button) and to get everything fully mapped out how I want it, but now the game is overriding those settings with its own and I cant figure out how to stop it from doing that while also preserving the keyboard functions (as all wont fit into this 12 button controller).
Can anybody out there please help me with this? Thanks!

It would appear once again I've spoken too soon... the game hides the control screen in Options (before it only listed "Keyboard" rather than "Mouse" and "Joystick" as well). So it's been taken care of, sorry lol.

The click-through is arguably the most powerful metric on the internet. It is largely the criteria upon which many online ad campaigns are judged and a billion-dollar economy has been built upon it.
But is the click-through really all it's cracked up to be? Sure, it works well when you're doing direct response advertising. But what about brand advertising?
According to a recent blog post by Young-Bean Song of the Microsoft Atlas Institute, brand advertising accounts for two-thirds of the $186bn advertising market. Yet while direct response advertisers have embraced the internet, shifting 30% of their budget online, brand advertising hasn't given the internet a whole lot of love. According to Song, only 5% of massive brand advertising spend is spent online.
Gian M. Fulgoni, the co-founder of comScore, blames the "click":
Used since the early days of online advertising as an indicator of the effectiveness of an ad, the click originated simply because it could be measured. But not everything that can be measured matters. In fact, the use of clicks on display ads as a meaningful metric sets the internet up for failure as a branding medium. Doubleclick reports that click rates on display ads today have fallen to approximately 0.1%, an unfortunate reality that has created serious doubts about the value of online advertising in the minds of advertisers that have experimented with the internet as a branding medium. It's now clear that a publisher would have to be insane to continue using click metrics to try to persuade branding advertisers to turn to the internet.
That display advertising generally produces paltry click-through rates is common knowledge. And this common knowledge is why so many brush off display advertising today. But what if display advertising was even more effective for brand advertising than traditional media? According to Fulgoni, it often is:
By using appropriate metrics, the ability of online display advertising—whether in the form of static display ads, rich media or video—to build brands can be shown to rival or even exceed the effectiveness of traditional media. In a white paper "Whither the Click" (published in the June issue of the Journal of Advertising Research), we summarized the hundreds of studies we've conducted using the comScore panel and comparing the behavior of panelists exposed to brand display ads with the behavior of those who did not see the ads. Even in the face of negligible click rates, time and again we observed statistically significant lifts among the ad-exposed consumers in the number of visits to the advertised brand's web site, the number of trademark search queries, and the sales of the advertised brand, both online and offline.
To that end, comScore and Microsoft announced yesterday that they've partnered on a media planning service called Reach and Frequency Planner that is designed to give brand advertisers the ability "to conduct the complete front-to-end media buying and planning process in the digital environment, using metrics similar to those existing for traditional media".
Reach and Frequency Planner combines demographic data from comScore's panel with ad serving data from Microsoft. The data will be used to generate digital media plans with metrics that provide online comparables to the metrics brand advertisers use offline.
Microsoft and comScore are launching Reach and Frequency Planner as a closed beta with a group of brand advertisers. There is no indication yet on when it will be opened up for all.
This is a potentially significant move for Microsoft as it looks to boost its online business in the wake of its deal with Yahoo. There's a good $100bn plus of brand advertising budgets that haven't moved online and there's no doubt that Microsoft would love to cajole a chunk of it online.
Online publishers in general would be a primary beneficiary of such a shift. While there's a significant oversupply of display advertising inventory on the internet, if comScore's Fulgoni is right and online display advertising rivals or exceeds the effectiveness of offline brand advertising, all that inventory would have to be evaluated in a new light. Maybe those banner ads delivering a fraction of a percent worth of click-throughs are worth more than both publishers and advertisers think they are.
How much? Nobody knows -- yet. But there's a pot of brand advertising gold out there. All someone has to do is find the rainbow.

I've read Young-Bean Song's blog post and based on the number of responses and my own experience with 'traditional metrics' -- the application of those metrics in the digital world is going to be horrible flop.
No offense to Microsoft - but wasn't it 'traditional metrics' that told them to spend tens of millions on the Seinfeld/Gates commercials? Why would any brand trust those same folks to 'measure' ad effectiveness online?
One of the more thoughtful responses to Young-Bean Song comes from Brian McGinty @ Razorfish:
Thu, Jul 09 2009 08:04PM
Brian McGinty - Razorfish
Young, great, well-thought out post. I agree that we must work to develop a standard currency to measure the value of each channel. However, I would argue that currency is more likely be a digital metric such as unique impressions rather than a traditional metric such as GRPs. To begin with, the GRP is a somewhat antiquated metric that is inherently less precise, thus less powerful, than digital metrics. Moreover, traditional channels are becoming digitized, providing access to these more precise digital metrics for traditional channels. With access to these stronger metrics for traditional channels it seems irrational to assume marketers would still choose to standardize their measurement on less precise, antiquated measures such as GRPs.
As a side note, to your point on the incorporation of digital mediums into media mix models, the debate is still out on how to actually create an accurate model. In a traditional media model, every consumer has an equal chance to view each piece of media run in their market (theoretically). However, because of digital mediums' ability to change based on the individual, individual consumers are exposed to more or less ads depending on their exposure and response to an ad in the first place. For example, say I visit WebMD and view some articles on the Flu and see 2 ads for Tamiflu. I then leave WebMD but visit other properties in WebMD's network where I am then retargeted with 3 more ads for Tamiflu because I've indicated interest in the subject of the Flu. Similarly, if I do a search for BWM on Google in the morning and then check my GMail in the afternoon, I will likely be shown more ads for BMW. This interactive effect causes traditional econometric modeling approaches to break down, often grossly overweighting or underweighting the true impact of digital channels on the outcome.

Research and Design of an SCA Medallion
Sayyeda al-Kaslaania
Boar's Head 2013
|Figure 1 Completed Pyxis Medallion
I am honored to have been recognized by King Tom and Queen Sigrid as a member of the Order of the Pyxis. As a member, I am invited to wear the symbol of the order: (Fieldless) A cross clechy Or within and conjoined to an annulet argent.
Recognized for research and recreation in the Middle Eastern arts and culture, I wanted to wear a symbol that honored the order while also coordinating with the specific Middle Eastern culture I research, Fatimid Egypt in 1066.
|Figure 2 Fatimid pendant, 10th – 11th c, 2.9 cm. Aga Khan Museum, assn AKM00594
I commissioned designer and goldsmith Kelly Williams of Whiplash Designs to create a frame for the cross and convert it to a pendant[2]. She created a piece based on several designs from extant pieces, and used lost wax casting techniques to make it.
Kelly plated the cross itself in yellow gold to make the pendant match the symbol of the order. She also strung pearls around the pendant. I have not been able to find Fatimid-period jewelry with the pearls intact, however Byzantine, Hellenistic, and Victorian jewelry all use a very small pearl size for this purpose.
Most Middle Eastern pendants on display in museums do not include a method to hang them. I have located two Fatimid examples of chains. The first was auctioned from Christie's Auction House. The second is housed at the National Museum in Damascus.
I am not an expert in the technique trichinopoly chain work, frequently called Viking wire weaving, but amateur researchers Sefa Farminsdottir and Svein Turnheim believe it is possible the necklace pictured on the left is made with this technique (each has said they would need different photographs to determine for certain). The chains hanging from the pin pictured on the right were determined to be a different style of chain work. These chains, however, indicate that complex chain techniques were used to display Fatimid period jewelry.
The silver necklace chain used in my Pyxis piece was an uncredited donation to a silent auction at Haire Affaire in 2011. It is silver wire worked with the Viking wire weaving technique. It sports a modern clasp and two faceted Swarovski-style beads.

March FavouritesMarch 19, 2017

I'm back with a favourites Post. This month has actually been full of new favourites and I gathered my ultimate favourites for this post. I've been wearing my silver crossbody bag from Mango litteraly every day. I loove this bag. The size is perfect and it looks good with almost everything. A while ago I went thrift shopping and found this amazing velvet cropped turtleneck shirt. I didn't really wear it at first but this month I rediscovered my love for it. Moreover I fell in love with glitter socks. These ones are from Monki and were given to me by my best friend. I could wear them every single day. The little Hamsa necklece was given to me by Alina (her Blog). I love it because it is really small and thin. And last but not least my favourite book of the month: begin again by Mona Kasten. This book is german so this might only be interesting for my german readers. I actually didn't read it in March but I still wanted to recommend it to you guys. It is one of the best books I've ever read and I can't wait to read the second part of it.

A panel of experts on microbicides—topical products that can reduce the risk of HIV infection—gathered on November 30 in Washington, DC, to discuss next steps following the landmark CAPRISA microbicide trial. Trial results released in July show that a microbicide gel containing a drug called tenofovir provided moderate protection against sexually transmitted HIV when used before and after sex.
Ebrahim Rasool, South African ambassador to the United States, and Dr. Nomonde Xundu, South Africa's health attaché, hosted the event at the South African Embassy to bring together US and South African government representatives and leading researchers to discuss the trial's implications. Yasmin Halima, director of the Global Campaign for Microbicides (GCM) housed at PATH, moderated the panel discussion.
The CAPRISA 004 trial, conducted by the Centre for the AIDS Programme of Research in South Africa (CAPRISA), tested the safety and effectiveness of the tenofovir gel among nearly 900 women in South Africa over a two-year period. GCM and other microbicides advocates have hailed its results as an important milestone that brings the global health community closer to effective topical HIV-prevention options, especially for women.
Speakers at the event emphasized women's vulnerability to HIV and the challenges of ensuring access to effective prevention products. A key focus of the discussion was on lessons learned from the successful collaboration between the United States and South Africa in promoting country ownership and the extensive cooperation among sectors and across continents.
The event further strengthened the US-South African partnership in moving forward with microbicide and HIV prevention research and implementation. Next steps include obtaining regulatory approval for the tenofovir microbicide gel, beginning manufacture, and working with communities to promote understanding, accessibility, and acceptability of the gel.
The event was organized by GCM in partnership with FHI, the Global Health Council, and the Embassy of the Republic of South Africa.
