There's something to say about an artist who's cracked the Top 10 on the Hot 100 Billboard Charts multiple times during their career, especially these eight music legends who've reigned the charts the most out of any artist in history. With the Hot 100 charts currently dominated by the likes of [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Lady Gaga[/lastfm], [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Justin Bieber[/lastfm] and [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Rihanna[/lastfm], these young artists have a long way to go before ever catching up to these icons!
See the top eight artists who've scored the most top ten singles ever in music history from least to most!
#8. [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Stevie Wonder[/lastfm] — 27 top ten singles
Starting at the tender age of 12-years old, Stevie was already a sensational music act with a No.1 single dominating the U.S. charts. His debut single "Fingertips – Pt. 2" was his first of many number one singles and top ten hits, which also includes "For Once In My Life," "Superstition" and "I Just Called To Say I Love You." You can't get any more wonderful than that.
#7. [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Mariah Carey[/lastfm] — 27 top ten singles
She wowed fans when first breaking out on the scene with her phenomenal 5-octave vocal range and ability to hit the "whistle register." She achieved her first No.1 single in 1990 with "Vision Of Love" and has dozens of follow-up successes including "I'll Be There," and "Hero," and something tells us that she's not done making chart history just yet.
#6. [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Janet Jackson[/lastfm] — 27 top ten singles
The baby of the extremely talented Jackson family, Janet created her own music empire with a solo career that included 27 top ten singles like "Miss You Much," "Nasty" and "That's The Way Love Goes."
#5. [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Elton John[/lastfm] — 27 top ten singles
With over 30 studio albums to his name, Elton has composed some of the most heartfelt piano ballads of the '70s and beyond that include "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me" and "Rocket Man."
#4. [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Michael Jackson[/lastfm] — 28 top ten singles
With the title as the King of Pop, Michael Jackson has graced the charts since he was 10 years old singing with his brothers in The Jackson 5. As he grew older, Michael broke off into his own successful solo career that included hits like "Rock With You," "Billie Jean," "Thriller," and the list could go on.
#3. [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]The Beatles[/lastfm] — 29 top ten singles
The Fab Four took America by storm with Beatlemania in the '60s and churned out hit after hit. They inspired an entire generation with their mantra of "peace and love" and made fans go wild over their biggest hits like "I Want To Hold Your Hand," "Help!" and "All You Need Is Love." They also hold the record with the most No.1 singles of all time with a total of 20!
#2. [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Elvis Presley[/lastfm] — 36 top ten singles
The King of Rock and Roll was no stranger to the Billboard Charts during his career. Emerging as a young, hip-shaking rockabilly singer who transformed rhythm and blues, Elvis ignited fan hysteria with his music and iconic TV appearances. His biggest singles of his career included "Hound Dog," "All Shook Up" and "Heartbreak Hotel."
#1. [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Madonna[/lastfm] — 37 top ten singles
Who else could beat the King of Rock and Roll other than the Queen of Pop? Madonna's ability to transform and reinvent her career over the years is what helped her rise to the top, plus pulling of shocking appearances and outfits doesn't hurt either. She's scored the most top ten singles out of any artist, which include hits like "Like A Virgin," "Like A Prayer" and "Papa Don't Preach."

Feeding Broodmares in Fall and Winter
- Oct 17, 2010
- Topics:
For many years horse owners and veterinarians thought the nutrient needs of pregnant mares increased only at the end of gestation. But new research shows that pregnant mares' nutrient needs increase as early as the fifth month of gestation.
Early October is an excellent time to evaluate broodmares' body conditions and to determine whether adjustments are necessary prior to the next breeding and foaling season. The Henneke system evaluates horses' body condition scores (BCS) on a scale of 1 to 9; where 1 is extremely thin and 9 is extremely fat. A body condition of 5 is considered moderate.
Many research studies have documented that reproductive efficiency is impaired if mares have BCS below 5 at the onset of the breeding season. Therefore, one of the goals of broodmare feeding programs should be to have mares in a body condition of at least 5 by the end of fall.
Evaluate body condition by palpating the amount of fat in several areas on the horse: the neck, the shoulder, the ribs, the withers, behind the shoulder, and above the back and tailhead. A horse in moderate body condition will have enough fat cover that the ribs are easily felt but not visible. There should be enough fat cover on the withers, back, tailhead, pelvis, and shoulder so the body parts blend to together smoothly. Remember to evaluate the amount of fat cover manually, as a thick hair coat can be deceiving. The size of the abdomen (belly) is not an indicator of body condition and is often enlarged due to pregnancy or prior pregnancies.
Because some mares will lose body condition during the coldest part of the winter, some managers might want mares to begin winter with a BCS of 6, which is moderately fleshy. Similarly, if a mare is known to lose weight during lactation, the owner or manager might also want to keep her body condition above 5.
If a mare is slightly overweight, her reproductive efficiency will not be affected. In fact, if she is moderately fleshy at the onset of winter, she will have a small buffer of expendable body fat that can be used during severe cold or during early lactation. However, there is no benefit to a mare being extremely fat.
Body condition is affected primarily by calorie consumption. If a mare consumes the same amount of calories as she uses, her body condition will remain the same. In order to increase body condition, she needs to consume more calories than she expends. Nutritionists call this positive energy balance. There are two ways to manipulate energy balance: change calorie use or change calorie intake.
In addition to needing calories for gestation and lactation, broodmares also need calories for daily activities such as walking to food and water and to regulate body temperature. If a mare is thin, provide an environment with shelter and easily accessible food to help reduce her calorie use. However, to make a significant change in energy balance, it is almost always necessary to change her diet.
The first step in changing an underweight broodmare's diet is to evaluate her forage (pasture or hay) intake. Increase forage quality or quantity if it is low. If this does not produce the desired change in body condition, then increase concentrate intake. The amount of extra concentrate that is needed for weight gain in any mare depends on the size of the mare, the initial and target body condition, and her current diet.
In general, changing the BCS of a Thoroughbred-type mare from 4 to 6 usually takes about 3-5 pounds of extra concentrate per day for 60 days. For example, if a mare maintains a BCS of 4 with unlimited access to hay/pasture and 3 pounds of concentrate, you will need to feed her 6-8 pounds of concentrate per day to change her body condition to a 6 in about two months. Once she reaches her target body condition, the amount of concentrate can usually be reduced.
Large concentrate intakes have been associated with an increased risk of colic. Therefore, if a mare is somewhat thin in October, adjust the diet immediately to promote weight gain before mid-December, and avoid the very high concentrate intakes.
If a mare is condition scored in October and determined to be too fat, then adjust her diet to reduce calorie intake. For example, Quarter Horse, Arabian, and Morgan mares often can maintain adequate body condition during the fall and winter on good quality forage and a minimal amount of concentrate. To achieve weight loss, create a negative energy balance where calorie intake is less than calorie use. The first step is to reduce concentrate intake or forage quality. Horse owners should also consider ways to increase calorie expenditure, such as placing food and water far apart to encourage exercise.
Once body condition is adjusted in the fall, the broodmare should be fed to maintain body condition while meeting the needs of her stage of pregnancy.
Mares should be given access to good quality hay when pasture availability declines in late fall. Many different types of hay are suitable for broodmares, but the transition in feeding programs is easiest if the nutrient composition of the hay is similar to the nutrient composition of the pasture.
The nutrient composition of hay is influenced by type (legume or grass) and stage of maturity at harvest. In general, legume hays (alfalfa, clover, etc.) are higher in protein and calcium and lower in fiber than grass hays (timothy, orchardgrass, Bermuda grass). Legume hays are usually more palatable as well. Stage of maturity is determined by how mature the plant was at harvest, not the time of year it was harvested.
Many factors affect the amount of hay and concentrate that should be fed to an individual mare. In mid-gestation a mare might be fed 20-25 pounds of hay and 3-8 pounds of concentrate. As she reaches the end of gestation, she might receive between 15-25 pounds of good quality hay and 5-10 pounds of concentrate per day. In most cases the amount of concentrate needed is reduced when the quality of the hay is high.
These are guidelines for mares that normally weigh 1,100-1,300 pounds. Smaller or larger mares will need different feeding programs, and the program should always be adjusted to make sure the mare has a least a moderate body condition. Work with a veterinarian and/or equine nutritionist to establish a feeding program suited to your broodmare's individual needs.

text: Since finishing A Dance With Dragons I've tried to find something to tide me over until the next book is released sometime next century, but it's not going so well. I'll list the series I tried reading and why I gave up on them. I rest all my hopes on you. Find me something good to read. Kingkiller Chronicles by Patrick Rothfuss Spoiler: The Name of the Wind The book starts off well, but Kvothe is too much of a Mary Sue. It wouldn't be quite so bad if the other characters were interesting, but there are no other characters. He's the only important character in the book. After hundreds of pages reading about how awesome and special and intelligent this dick is I just gave up. I couldn't take any more of it. Malazan, Book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson Spoiler: Gardens of the Moon Again, very interesting start, but I'm convinced that Mr. Erikson has ADHD. Hell hounds wiped out a city, a mage is killed twice and turned into a puppet, an army is assaulting the city of Pale, Pale gets support from Doom Island, the army defeats the rock in combat, Captain Paran is killed and resurrected by the God of Death, and now we're invading another city. This all happens in about 150 pages. Focus, damn you! Focus! I read a few reviews on Amazon and even fans of the series admit that this remains a problem. This series is not for me. Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan Spoiler: The Eye of the World It's been years since I tried to read this series, so my thoughts aren't very clear on why I stopped reading. All I remember is making it through the first half of the first book before I gave up from boredom. If I hear some praise for the series I would be happy to give it a second chance. Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien Spoiler: Fellowship of the Ring I don't need spoilers for this, but I like to keep things consistent. These books give you about 2-3 lines of fantastic storytelling for every 2-3 pages of purple prose. No, I don't give a damn about some King from 10,000 years ago or the unique colour of the trees. It's just not worth it when I have the movies at my fingertips. Discworld by Terry Pratchett Spoiler: No spoilers Put down the pitchforks. I love this series, but I'm in the mood for something more serious to scratch my fantasy itch. Although I do love this series, so maybe that helps? Maybe not?

I present Yet-Another-TinyWM-based-WM: scrollWM on github, Scrollwm-git in AUR
ScrollWM was based on an idea from a post in another thread. Gullible Jones asked about WMs other than FVWM that could have a large virtual desktop through which one could scroll smoothly (rather than discrete desktops to be switched between). I thought it sounded like a fun idea, and so I gave it a shot. The result: ScrollWM.
ScrollWM has developed in it's own unique direction though and in just a couple over-caffenated days it has gained much functionality which is described below with reference to the default bindings. All bindings can be configured for mouse or keyboard (these are even interchangeable) through config.h.
Current Features
- Moving/Scrolling.
- Mod4+Button1 drag to move a window.
- Mod4+Alt+Button1 drag to scroll the virtual desktop.
- Zooming.
- Mod4+Button4/5 (scroll wheel) to zoom the focused window in or out.
- Mod4+Alt+Button4/5 to zoom the whole desktop in or out.
- Resizing.
- Mod4+Button3 drag to resize a window.
- Maximizing.
- Mod4+Button2 to fullscreen a window.
- Tiling.
- Mod4+Alt+Button3 to cycle between tiling modes (rstack, bstack, and ttwm-style)
- Mod4+Alt+Button2 to tile to a specified mode (rstack by default)
- Taging.
- Mod4+(#) to select a tag (1-9)
- Mod4+Alt+(#) to toggle the focused window's "membership" in the current tag
- Hiding / Sticking.
- Mod4+h to hide the current tag.
- Mod4+s to "sticky" the current tag. Sticky tags do not zoom or scroll.
- Mod4+n to remove hidden/sticky flags from the current tag (n=normal).
- Focus Cycling.
- Mod4+Tab to cycle between all windows currently visible in the viewport.
- Mod4+Alt+Tab to cycle between all windows in the current tag.
- Mod4+Shift+Tab to cycle between *all* windows globally.
- Launching.
- Customizable launchers: defaults include urxvt (Mod4+Enter), dmenu (Mod4+p), and luakit (Mod4+w)
The status bar shows the tags with an underline for the selected tag, and colors for tag 'flags'. There is an 'icon' highlighting where there are windows relative to the current viewport (so you don't lose or forget about windows off screen). Then, of course, the focused window title which is also followed by the tags it is a member of.
Tiling note: ScrollWM is not really a tiling window manager. If you want to see my tiling WM, check out TTWM. ScrollWM is and always will be a floating WM. The tiling functions simply move windows into a tiled layout. There is no dynamic tiling or adjusting for when windows are added or closed. To retile the windows you must call the tiling function again.
Future goals:
- Bring in the rectabar stdin reader for user customized information display on the right side of the status bar (ttwm users should be familiar with this).
- Expand tiling modes to be able to tile subsets of windows (same subsets as for window cycling).
- Fix the below listed, and any future bugs.
Known bugs:
- Programs such as firefox that depend on window managers setting the window size on startup show up too small.
The solution is known (full ICCM compliance), but has not been implemented yet.
- A much easier solution has been presented by Moetunes and should be implemented soon (20 Dec 2012).
Crashing when running gimp or vboxsdl (but virtualbox works).
- Should be fixed as of ~18 Dec, let me know if this persists.
- Any others you can tell me about!

I already had a go at it and must say I'm really interested in this. I won't see myself using it for longer periods though, because as you said alot of features are still missing.
What I'd like is some sort of tiling of a group of windows (tag) into a viewport and being able to move the viewport to another tag (which is already built in, sans the tiling of windows in a tag). So basically just DWM without the bar and a viewport added Some sort of a bar would be nice to have though, with some status into it and an indicator showing where exactly you are in your large desktop.
I'm really curious to see where this would go!
EDIT: Also, an option to "zoom out" and get a nice overview of all the tags in the desktop would be nice to have to. Kind of like how one can zoom out in Windows 8's "Metro" interface to get a quick overview of all the tiles.

I was planning a zoom function - I already have one in another concept WM I played with that never went anywhere. But I've never used Windows 8 so I have no idea what theirs looks like.
A status bar would be pretty easy. In fact any current status bar tool that creates an override_redirect widow would work as is and scrollwm will not move it.
EDIT: zooming is up on git. Zoom with MOD+scrollwheel Note that content isn't scaled only window dimensions are. Content scaling would require a much heavier function using openGL or Cairo and would lead to nasty side effects of content never really showing at it's intended size unless you zoomed perfectly back to 1.0 scaling. Instead zooming only modifies window geometries. This is fast and easy, and window content always remains at it's intended size ... though it may get quite "squished" at some zoom levels.
EDIT2: I see my overly simple zoom function will crash if you zoom way to far out. This only happens when a windows dimension is scaled so low that it is set to zero (with rounding error). I'll put it in a check for this and keep a couple pixels as the smallest possible size regardless of scale, but I'm not doing that tonight yet. For now, just don't try to break it.

Hey, I was trying to do the same thing earlier this evening! I guess great minds think alike. But unfortunately my design-fu is still quite weak.
Anyway I'd be glad to help out. Maybe I'll try adding something. (Like keybindings?)
Edit: Hmm. The most immediately obvious problem I can see, is that the virtual desktop is of enormous size. This could easily get out of control, and I think it might cause crashes if you keep scrolling in one direction (IIRC window coordinates are 16 bit).
Also I see some weird rendering glitches (in Xephyr at least). If I:
- Open two gnome-terminal sessions
- Zoom out
- Zoom back in
- Move terminal #1 over terminal #2
then the obscured parts of terminal #2 will turn gray, and stay gray until I move terminal #2.
.. And looking at the source code I have no idea how to add keybindings. Sorry, I am really not familiar with xlib.
Last edited by Gullible Jones (2012-12-10 01:28:16)
Sure. I have all the code for keybindings though. I just haven't plopped it into scrollwm yet. I have been making improvements to the zoom function - but testing has been cut short by a pet-parrot-induced keyboard tragedy. I am limping along on a severely trashed keyboard which really hinders any coding. So I'm off for the evening. I'll push to zoom improvements to git torrow night - and I'll throw in the framework for key bindings too.
For now this could be run with XBindKeys to be able to launch some apps.
Resist the GNU world order.
Right, thanks. I really need to read up on xlib. (And see my edited post above.)
I've considered the issue with coordinates overflowing the data structures - and I have a plan for that. At least a plan to push it back by using a larger data structure - but of course at some extreme any structure will overflow, so I'll just cap the zoom/moving at that point. 64-bit coordinates, however, should be plenty large for any sane use.
I suspect the zoom issue you describe will be fixed by the zoom improvements I've made - but they will not be pushed to git until tomorrow night.
Resist the GNU world order.
I just updated my local code with your new changes. I'm questioning the way you've implemented zooming:
When I have one client open, lets say Firefox, and I zoom out, obviously the window gets smaller. When I then open a new client, urxvtc, that client is not zoomed out; it's big. So now I have two different zoom levels: Firefox zoomed out, urxvtc zoomed in. If I'd zoom in on Firefox now, the urxvtc client is getting really big.
What I meant by zooming out and in, was to get a quick overview of the current windows (in tags or single), for example how Windows 8 does it as seen here at 1.09:
Also I think more mature functions will come (like borders, shortcuts to close applications, kill the wm and whatnot) so I won't nag you about those
EDIT: Also, since this WM is mostly mouse-based, how about hotcorner functions? I don't know if these are hard to do or require alot of code, but they would be a nice feature.

There will be key bindings for most functions, they just haven't been implemented yet. Hotcorners type things could be done - they really wouldn't take much code.
A static zoom level just would never be very practical though. Zooming just scales window geometry, that's it - it does not scale content and there is no "current zoom level". If the current zoom level were saved somewhere and applied to every newly mapped window there would need to be some mechanism to determine *where* new windows should be positioned. Size can be scaled, but where should they be positioned? If we go with the default position but custom geometry, it could have odd side effects.
Another way of looking at it, imagine you start an application that starts with default coordinates of (0,0). Then you move it to the right half of the screen so it has coordinates - for example - (512,0). Then you zoom out which icreases the apparent coordinates to (800,0). Now, while zoomed out, you start another application. The new window could be scaled equivalently to the first, but then where should it be placed? At the original (0,0)? The same place as the current window? Or at the new (0,0)? If it's placed at the new (0,0) and scaled equivalently to the currently running program, then the space between (or overlap of) the two windows will depend entirely on the current zoom level rather than on the intended size of the new application. As you added more windows this would just get more and more odd. Potentially you could even launch some applications and you wouldn't even notice the tiny window show up.
EDIT: from what I've seen on ads and video clips, Windows 8 scales all window content. If you want something like this you should check out compiz-based window managers.

I see. Is there another way in which we can enable a quick overview off the whole desktop?

There is no "whole desktop" in the way you are thinking.
"Desktop" is just a conceptual metaphor we use. You are always viewing the whole desktop as far as X is concerned.
Evidence of this can be seen by trying to do an "XCopyWindow" from a window that is currently not visable because it is at a different part of the "dekstop". X will give you an empy buffer ... there is no graphic data to copy from.

I'm dizzy I thought we had like a "desktop wall" and we "zoom in" on a part of that (e.g. our zooming glass is the desktop; a viewport) and so we can move that zooming glass over the wall. How exactly does it work, then?

From the user's perspective that is how it works. But it is, essentially, an illusion.
As indicated above, compositing mangers do this without an illusion: they'll render the a large pane, and you will only see certain parts of it.

You know I had to try this. Very interesting and I'll keep an eye on this one but can't see it taking over from ttwm...yet.
I see scrollwm doesn't like numlock either...yet.

Ha, not yet. I'm not sure I'd ever really use scrollwm either. It's a fun toy, but it just doesn't seem practical.
But I've gained many useful bits of code from tinkering with impractical "toys" that can be used in more functional projects.
Toy projects allow for a type of creativity that breeds innovation.
EDIT: for anyone keeping track, I'm actually finding ScrollWM to be much more practical for use than I orignally thought it would be.

This is quite awesome. I had an idea similar to this but never got around to it.
I'm gonna hack around on this WM for a while when my finals are over. I have a few ideas.

What it really needs, for me, is some sort of ALT+Tab function to switch between windows as I find with scrollwm I'm always moving windows out of the way to get at others--or I'm not used to the concept yet. Aerosuidae has a program called simpleswitcher that might do the trick.

I'm actually laying the groundwork to build in a openbox-style window switcher that will not only focus a window, but move the scroll and zoom to a suitable level to interact with that window.
Resist the GNU world order.
Wowza, this is cool... I'm using it right now actually. Trying to add some window manipulation keybindings to it at the moment.
Some more bugs:
- Rendering issues in GVim. Scrollbars are not rendering properly, and text is not display when scrolling down. This might be an issue with the Oxygen GTK engine though.
- Some windows start at the wrong size. xterms in particular start out way too small, only a dozen pixels across or so.
ScrollWM doesn't touch default window sizes. All programs will start at exactly the size their program requests. Xterm can have geometry set in .Xresources right?
FYI I implemented some tag stuff in what's currently on git, but don't get used to the current behavior. I'm going to reverse some of the logic. What's up now allows you to have active and inactive tags, and only the active tag is moved when you scroll. I'm going to change this to Normal tags which all scroll, or some tags can be Pinned so they don't scroll or zoom, and Hidden tags will be (hopefully obviously) hidden. Any window will be able to to assigned to any or many tags - but each tag will be set to one of Normal, Pinned, or Hidden. If a single window has tags with different settings the priority will be Pinned > Normal > Hidden.
If that makes no sense yet, standby and a version of this will be up soon.
Resist the GNU world order.
I've just done a bunch of junk with this. Check out the github README for a very concise overview.
Windows now have tags, tags can be given names in config.h, tags can be Normal, Sticky, or Hidden. Windows on hidden tags are not seen. Windows on Sticky tags are not moved (zoomed or scrolled). All other windows zoom and scroll as before.
There is not a statusbar with tags, a current tag indicator, and colors for sticky/hidden/normal/unoccupied.
The status bar also shows the current window title, and the tags the current window is on.
Tomorrow I will make the title update as the application changes the window title. I'll also make the title and assigned tag regions a bit more elegant looking. Soon I'll add a stdin reader for status information (a bit like dwm's, but better )

I'm typing this from Scrollwm with all the new updates. It's quickly growing! Actually, it's growing so fast it's going to take me a while to get even close to using it to it's full potential. Right now I just feel as if I'm in a maze
What more features are going to be added?
Oh and I have the same issue as Gullible Jones; Firefox always starts in the top left corner in a small window.
If you can't sit by a cozy fire with your code in hand enjoying its simplicity and clarity, it needs more work. --Carlos Torres
I've found this with my other window manager too: firefox requires a fully ICCM compliant window manager as it foolishly creates windows at the wrong and sets size hints (and the wrong size hints BTW) requiring the window manager to scan through all of the ATOMs it sets looking for where it hide the intended size.
Whenever a window is created in X11, the client program specifies a width and height for the window. Firefox sets a ridiculously small width and height. I may or may not build in the WM_HINTS needed to compensate for this. Until I do, feel free to report this as a bug to mozilla.
EDIT: This explains why I've seen comments in other WM's saying a block of code is just to deal with firefox's quirks.

Any plans for EWMH active&resizing support in the near future? I think this would be an awesome WM to pair with a tiling tool I made for floating wms that's based on xdotool:

Toxic Metals in Lipstick
Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley's School of Public Health tested 32 different lipsticks and lip glosses commonly found in drugstores and department stores. They detected lead, cadmium, chromium, aluminum and five other metals, some of which were found at levels that could raise potential health concerns. Their findings will be published online Thursday, May 2, in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives.
Prior studies also have found metals in cosmetics, but the UC Berkeley researchers estimated risk by analyzing the concentration of the metals detected and consumers' potential daily intake of the metals, and then comparing this intake with existing health guidelines.
"Just finding these metals isn't the issue; it's the levels that matter," said study principal investigator S. Katharine Hammond, professor of environmental health sciences. "Some of the toxic metals are occurring at levels that could possibly have an effect in the long term."
Lipstick and lip gloss are of special concern because when they are not being blotted on tissue or left as kiss marks, they are ingested or absorbed, bit by bit, by the individual wearing them, the study authors said. The researchers developed definitions for average and high use of lip makeup based on usage data reported in a previous study. Average use was defined as a daily ingestion of 24 milligrams of lip makeup per day. Those who slather on the lip color and reapply it repeatedly could fall into the high use category of 87 milligrams ingested per day.
Using acceptable daily intakes derived from this study, average use of some lipsticks and lip glosses would result in excessive exposure to chromium, a carcinogen linked to stomach tumors. High use of these makeup products could result in potential overexposure to aluminum, cadmium and manganese as well. Over time, exposure to high concentrations of manganese has been linked to toxicity in the nervous system.
Lead was detected in 24 products, but at a concentration that was generally lower than the acceptable daily intake level. However, the lead levels still raised concerns for young children, who sometimes play with makeup, since no level of lead exposure is considered safe for them, the researchers said.

Feminism or the Highway?
Is feminism the only banner under which people can fight patriarchy, or better yet, kyriarchy?*
Is any act performed with the goal of ending gender oppression automatically feminist? Even if the people doing it don't identify with feminism? Even if feminism has consistently slapped them in the face?
I've been asked to explain why I don't identify as feminist and I think I need to start with trying to answer those questions. Because it seems to me that many feminists think that feminism is the only path to confronting oppression. That belief (I would say arrogance) is one of the primary reasons that I do not identify as feminist.
If feminism is the only path to confronting oppression, then what about Womanism? Are we to erase the experiences of black women who have very consciously chosen not to identify with feminism? What about other marginalized people who have, after much consideration, chosen not to use the feminist label?
Read Women and Social Movements in Latin America and you will find a very ambivalent relationship between women's movements and feminism. Sometimes women don't call themselves feminists because they see it as a movement of privileged white women. Sometimes, like in the case of the Bentia Galeana Women's Council in Mexico, they don't adopt the term because they cant come to any consensus about what feminism means.
Who can blame them for not being able to figure out what it means? Some people say feminism is just about equality between the sexes. Others say that it is about crushing patriarchy. Still others say that it is about confronting all forms of oppression. There is liberal feminism, eco-feminism, radical feminism, anarcha-feminism, black feminism, Marxist feminism, sex positive feminism, and even conservative feminism (a la Ms. Palin). And the fights between the different feminists – who all have ideas about what is essential to feminism – are as bad as the fights between Anarchists and Marxists. Or Anarcho-capitalists and Anarcho-communists. Or… You get the picture.
Now if you believe, as I do, that there are ways to fight oppression outside of the feminist label then the question becomes, does that label provide any added value? Is it meaningful to me? When I asked that question, the answer I came up with was no. On the contrary. I think that when you adopt a label or belief system, you have to be willing to own up to all the things done in the name of that label. And I am not prepared to accept the baggage of feminism. I've got my hands full with anarchism. Thank you very much.
If you want to read about the baggage of feminism, there are plenty of people who have written about it. Read Jessica Valenti on gender essentialism. Read Kimberle Crenshaw and Eve Ensler on feminists who ignored Hilary Clinton's politics and supported her simply because she didn't have a penis. Read Monica Roberts on the long history of feminist transphobia. Read about the battles between feminists and womanists. Read about the experiences of sex workers:
we're having to deal with the tremendous harms and human rights violations that have been done in the name of "feminism," perpetrated against us to prove some theoretical point. When I started to work on the street in Montreal in 2001, for example, a number of feminist groups decided that they were going to go on the anti-prostitution rampage, and allied with right-wing people and religious groups to do so, which is not a strange combination. We have seen it in the United States when the powerful alliance between right-wing Christian groups, religious fundamentalists, and a number of mainstream feminist groups [cooperated] to pass aid restrictions to limit HIV funding to sex workers groups, at a tremendous cost to sex workers lives all over the world.
Now I know that some of you are thinking – Sure feminism has problems, but you should get in there and help fix it.
Why should I?
Some time back, one of the people I follow on twitter made the following comment, "Answering a situation of male exclusivity with female exclusivity is almost like celebrating your marginalization instead of fighting it." I suspect that it may have been in response to my talking about a conference for anti-authoritarian women. (The conference was inspired by the sausage fest of an event that Libertopia was clearly going to be).
I never actually responded, but if I had I would have said the same basic thing I say to people who think I should help fix feminism. I would rather build something that reflects my values. I don't have any desire or obligation to spend my precious time fixing your shit. I have other shit I'd rather be fixing. What's more, are we really going to ask the most marginalized people to go in and fix feminism? Are you going to tell a trans woman, who is in the line of fire every time she steps out of her house, to get closer to the shooter? Who the hell are any of us to ask that?
While we are on the subject of responses to my non-feminism, let me tackle a few more things that will inevitably come up.
No. I have not been brainwashed by the anti-feminist culture. In fact, it is quite the opposite. I have been surrounded my whole life by feminists. I once worked for the former president of the Florida chapter of the National Organization for Women. I would get waaaaay less shit if I would just cave and call myself a feminist. My opinions on feminism do not come from listening to its detractors, they come from witnessing the actions of its proponents.
Which brings me to a more valid criticism, that I am judging feminism by liberal feminists. Well, yes. I am. Most of the feminists I have known in my life are liberal feminists who do not question the power structure, but merely want more women at the top of it. It is true that anarcha-feminists do not fall into the same traps as liberals, but most feminists are not anarchists. The idea that I should judge feminism by the margins is absurd. Usually, we talk about how movements shouldn't be judged by the extremes, but with feminists I'm supposed to turn that on its head and not judge the movement by the mushy center?
Truth be told, I thought about identifying as anarcha-feminist for half a second. But it just didn't make any sense. If feminism is defined as being against all forms of oppression, then adding feminist to anarchist just seems redundant. If it is about being against patriarchy and gender oppression, then it would seem to preference one type of oppression over another. Cindy Milstein, at a recent event in Baltimore, described it in less negative terms. She said that the anarcho-adjectives symbolized not preference, but passion. That's fine. If you are extra passionate about injustice related to gender oppression, more power to you. But I am not. I may identify more when I hear about the injustices and abuses faced by women, but I am not more passionate about doing something about those injustices than I am about injustices due to race or class or disability or anything else.
None of this means that I am anti-feminist. I can appreciate the accomplishments of feminists without being a feminist. Just like I can appreciate the accomplishments of the Southern Christian Leadership Council without being a Christian. I can appreciate feminist writings, philosophy and discourse without being a feminist. Just like I can appreciate the writings of Thich Nhat Hanh or John Paul Sartre without being a Buddhist or an existentialist.
I get that identifying as feminist is meaningful to many people. And if you want to inundate me with suggested reading that you think will change my mind about the whole thing, knock yourself out. I keep an open mind. Just don't be so arrogant as to think that, because it holds such meaning for you, the rest of us have to agree or we are BAD. Don't forget that the movement you are so attached to has shit on a lot of people along the way. And don't continue that tradition by disrespecting all the amazing women out there who are confronting oppression without the feminist label.
* Since I posted this I have been enlightened on some of the more troubling aspects of the term kyriarchy. You can read a very good post about it here (HT @QueerCoup). I'm usually more careful with my language. Had I done more 101, I might not have used the term.
That said, I don't think it effects the crux of my arguments and I still stand by all the rest of it.

With all due respect to Elaine Haight, who mentioned Truckee's paid parking as an example Palo Alto could follow: As a part-timer in Truckee, I can tell you the locals would not shop downtown at all for several years until the parking program was changed to make it more acceptable. The last time the rules were changed was in November 2011 and, for the first time ever, their parking district actually made money during the last six months.
I would suggest Palo Alto review all the various forms of parking Truckee tried in order to not make the same mistakes. For example, in Truckee you do not pay to park after 6 p.m. so the restaurant business is not affected. Here is a link to their current parking program: www.moonshineink.com/sections/spot/truckee-alters-paid-parking

Just say no
One has to wonder how it was concluded — from somewhere on high — that the Bay Area must accommodate thousands of newcomers in all of our already saturated cities. Cram them in — it doesn't matter how — just do it!
In fact, it's already started. California Avenue is slated to be reduced to a two-lane street, regardless of the many protestations raised in the past few years.
What's next? Will neighborhood streets become single-lane, one-way streets? After all, such a move will allow narrowly designed housing units to be added to our cities. We can get used to one-way streets — simply use the appropriate streets to get to our destinations. After a few fender benders and fatalities, we'll learn to get around.
As for our building height limits — no problem — local height restrictions can be "modified" to meet the cramming-in requirements — after all, it's already being done, so that solution should be no surprise.
But here's a solution to the arbitrarily imposed cramming-in mandate borrowed from Nancy Reagan (never dreamed I'd ever respect her "wisdom"): "Just Say No."
But not simply "No." Bay Area cities should respond with a resounding "No, no, no, NO WAY will we accede to the obscene orders to turn our Bay Area into a series of Chicago Projects."
Consider another borrowed idea: Instead of "Build it and they will come," our position should be, "Don't build it and they WON'T come."

Independence Day eats
What ever happened to the good old days when the worst things we had to fear on the Fourth of July were traffic jams and wayward fireworks?
According to the Department of Agriculture's Meat & Poultry Hotline, this year's top threat is food poisoning by nasty E. coli and salmonella bugs lurking in hamburgers and hot dogs at millions of backyard barbecues. The hotline's advice is to grill them longer and hotter. Of course, they don't bother to mention that the high-temperature grilling that kills the bugs also forms lots of cancer-causing compounds.
Luckily, a bunch of enterprising U.S. food manufacturers and processors have met this challenge head-on by developing a great variety of healthful, delicious and convenient veggie burgers and soy dogs.
These delicious plant-based foods don't harbor nasty pathogens or cancer-causing compounds. They don't even carry cholesterol, saturated fats, drugs or pesticides. And, they are waiting for us in the frozen food section of our supermarket.
This Fourth of July offers a great opportunity to declare our independence from the meat industry and to share wholesome veggie burgers and soy dogs with our family and friends.

Criminalization of the homeless
Palo Alto prides itself on being a home of creative, innovative people who solve problems. Why can't we come up with a solution for a real-life important problem such as people sleeping in cars? The city of Palo Alto is willing to spend thousands of dollars on consultants to deliberate the merits of development projects and public fountains; surely they could spare a few of those thousands to establish a parking area with a shower and a few toilets where people living in cars could sleep safely.
These people sleeping in cars are at least not sleeping (in the) rough outdoors or under bridges. They still own something, have a shell. Why can't they be given a safe haven to park, bathe and maybe even have some community? The warmth and sunlight of California are needed more by the homeless than by people living in huge, ostentatious houses.

This ninja here…SMH
According to TMZ reports:
Shemar Moore spent his Sunday drowning in a sea of half-naked, hard-bodied* party chicks … at a CRAZY lingerie bash at his L.A. home … and TMZ has the pics.
Technically, it was a Super Bowl party … but with all the scantily clad people running around, nobody gave a flying crap about Eli Manning.
Instead, the "Criminal Minds" star encouraged everyone to rage their faces off … by serving a ton of booze, munchies … and posting a banner that read, "What happened at Shemar's house NEVER HAPPENED … Let's Get It In!"
* — most of the people were hard-bodied … not all.

MP3: Clear Up My Mind
This weekend marks the release of Columbus' Green Brothers' second album, Sticky Funk Vol. 1, on Dove Ink Records. As you may have already guessed by their group name, their album name, their album cover, etc., the Green Brothers are two weed-loving hip-hop fiends and they want you to join in on the party. In the time since the release of their debut record Everybody's Green in 2006, Chicago MC Hiway 411 (AKA Racecar of Chicago hip-hop group Modill) ended the long-distance relationship with Columbus producer Claude 9 (AKA Eyamme), forcing Eyamme to reevaluate the project's lineup. He soon found a like mind in Columbus DJ Bern One (AKA DJ Inform), and they united over Bern One's funk records and…some other stuff. Sticky Funk was originally intended to be an entirely instrumental release, but eventually Eyamme decided he needed to take on the mic in the interest of their live shows. The finished product is a patchwork display of the duo's talents.
Ten of the album's sixteen tracks are instrumental hip-hop tunes, often based on those gritty funk samples and many featuring Bern One's explosive turntable work. The sound of these tracks ranges from upbeat grooves, like the snappy featured MP3, to mellow introspection, as on the back-to-back funky slow-burners "Top Down Funk" and "Crooning Guitar." The vocal tracks are mostly message-based songs, like the inspirational "Call Me Cool" and the defiant "Guilty," or weed party jams, including the entertaining "Girls Gone Weed" and the slick posse cut "Word!," which features Columbus expatriate Bru Lei. Eyamme is not at the top of the MC ranks yet, but his concise, confident flow helps fill the gap left by Hiway's departure. The album covers a great deal of ground, both sonically and topically, but somehow the different flavors manage to flow together rather well. This album is an interesting step forward for the Green Brothers, and it will be interesting to see where the weed takes the group next.
The Green Brothers will celebrate the release of Sticky Funk with a party at Skully's on Saturday, November 1st. The show is part of Dove Ink's Open Canvas series, a monthly Gallery Hop after party and live art showcase. Therefore, the supporting lineup is quite eclectic, highlighted by their Cincinnati-based labelmate, rapper Ill Poetic, and Columbus' two-man metal maelstrom Big Nasty. The show is free and the music and art kick off at 9 PM.


text: The thread on tire pumps made me think about asking what a good precision tire pressure gauge for motorcycles might be? I'm interested in something that's very accurate in measuring pressure and can do so with some level of precision (for those occasional track days where you want to dial things in right). Any thoughts or observations out there?

Literature Review on Men, Gender, Health and HIV and AIDS in South Africa - August 2008
Wed, 07 Oct 2009 - 09:12 | Kieran Evans, Alan Greig, Mark Weston, Jean Redpath, Andrew Daub, and Dean Peacock
This literature review on men, gender and HIV and AIDS has been carried out in conjunction with a number of policy initiatives that Sonke Gender Justice Network has been involved in over the last 18 months. A growing body of evidence also suggests that men are far less likely than women to access HIV services including testing, treatment and other care and support services. Men's under-utilisation of HIV services significantly undermines prevention and

Today, December 28th marks the official removal of the gray wolf in Minnesota from the threatened species list. After a 30-day period the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will return management of the species to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. (DNR) Now, the DNR will follow their own wolf management plan, which was created in 2001, and is designed to manage the wolf population at a healthy, sustained level.
At the present time Minnesota's wolf population stands at approximately 3,000, which is almost twice the number biologists have stated as a viable, long-term population. When the gray wolf was added to the threatened species list in the 1970's their numbers in Minnesota had dwindled to as few as 700 individuals. Going forward the DNR will use scientific method and their management plan to monitor and maintain the Minnesota population at or above the stated goal of 1600 animals.
And while the management plan allows for owners of livestock and domesticated animals to have more authority to control wolves, the state will offer predator services. The level of authority and control must still be discussed and settled upon by livestock producers, the DNR, state lawmakers, and agriculture officials. The DNR in conjunction with the state legislature, are in the beginning stages of a plan that could allow for a hunting and trapping season of the gray wolf.
While the gray wolf population in Minnesota represents the largest in the lower 48 states, they have made a strong comeback in other areas as well. Gray wolf numbers continue to grow and stabilize in other Great Lake's states, and the western mountain states. Biologists across the U.S. are committed to the long-term survival of the species.
To learn more about the gray wolf please go to the Minnesota DNR or visit the website of the International Wolf Center in Ely, MN.

Bentonville, AR 72712
The small-town feel of Bentonville, Arkansas belies the corporate energy of the international headquarters of Wal-Mart Stores Inc. located near the heart of the city.
The City of Bentonville, AR was established in 1837 with a population of 30 and incorporated in 1873 with a population of 500. Today, Bentonville is home to about 34,000 people and is visited by hundreds of vendors to Wal-Mart, which was founded by Sam Walton.
Established in 1836 as the first county seat in the state of Arkansas, Bentonville has maintained a lot of the historic character of the town. Within the city limits, there are 72 historical buildings and homes, including the 1875 Peel House Mansion and Historical Gardens. Within Benton County, there are 140 Civil War sites.
The Bentonville town square embraces a Civil War statue, benches, fountain, and beautiful gardens surrounded by quaint shops. The 1928 Benton County Courthouse is a three-story neo-classical structure designed by A.O. Clark. During the Civil War, all but 12 buildings in the downtown neighborhood were burned. Therefore, the main business buildings around the square were constructed between 1875 and 1888. A main attraction on the square is the Walmart Museum. The museum is housed in Sam Walton's original variety store, which now traces the origin and growth of Wal-Mart. The center was created as an educational and informative facility about this American retailing success story.
The Walton family has had a substantial impact on this town. Founded by Alice Walton on 100 acres of land donated from the Walton Family, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art opened Nov. 11, 2011. The museum is a premier art institution dedicated to American art and artists, learning and community gatherings. The main pavilions house a permanent collection of American art masterworks from the colonial era to modern day – which are open to the public at no cost – and a number of touring collections from national art institutions. Visitors enjoy the collection within the state-of-the-art galleries and throughout the surrounding park. A dynamic temporary exhibitions program complements the holdings of the permanent collection and exemplify the diversity of American artists. The museum takes its name from a natural spring on the museum's wooded site as well as the unique glass-and-wood building design created by world-renowned architect Moshe Safdie. An innovative building design – reflective of its forested creek-side home and linked by landscaped trails and paths connecting area neighborhoods – captures the interplay of nature, art and culture in the region. The museum property and grounds are within walking distance of the Bentonville town square. A rare Frank Lloyd Wright structure, the Bachman Wilson House originally in New Jersey, is being added to the property overlooking Crystal Spring. After being dismantled it will be reconstructed in Bentonville.
Great shopping and dining venues line the downtown area, where festivals and events also take place. Be sure to check out the 21C Museum Hotel, located downtown. It's an upscale contemporary place for lodging and dining that also contains a modern art museum and gallery, adding a layer of culture you don't find at many other hotels. Bentonville, AR is now a prime choice not only for the business traveler, but the leisure traveler as well.
Whether you're here for a few days or a whole week, there are plenty of other popular attractions to visit, including the Compton Gardens and the Museum of Native American Artifacts. The gardens are located at the former home of Dr. Neil Compton, who spearheaded the effort to protect one of Arkansas's most precious resources– the Buffalo National River. The gardens showcase 6.5 acres of native woodland plants, walking trails and prairie. Three Arkansas Champion Trees are on the site. It is open to public daily from dawn to dusk, and also serves as an event facility and conference center. Located one block north of the downtown square, a multi-use bike trail starts behind the gardens and runs along a ridge overlooking Crystal Bridges. This one-half mile, hard surface trail links to the larger city trail system.
The Museum of Native American Artifacts features real artifacts from the private collection of founder David Bogle along with 47 items from the former University of Arkansas Museum. Nine rare pots in the shapes of a head or body are among the pieces on display. The 5,000-square-foot space is west of the downtown.
Mountain bikers are drawn to the 20-plus-mile Slaughter Pen Mountain Bike Trail containing more than 20 miles of the finest single track designed and built by two of the premier trail builders in the country: IMBA and Progressive Trail Design. The best-in-class free ride park and 16 skinny Northshore log rides make for one of the best mountain bike destinations around and the ultimate bike vacation – it's common to see riders of all skill levels enjoying the trails. Guests can view a Bentonville, Arkansas bike map and find more information and resources at Bike Bentonville. Bentonville received designation by IMBA as a 2014 Ride Center (silver level).
Bentonville is situated in the Ozark Mountain region near lakes, state parks, and numerous outdoor opportunities. Water sports and camping are popular at nearby Beaver Lake. There's a combination of five more public and private golf courses in Benton County for residents and visitors to enjoy.
In the northwest corner of the state, Bentonville is adjacent to Rogers and Bella Vista, and is 30 miles from Fayetteville. It is five miles from Pea Ridge National Military Park, 19 miles from Hobbs State Park-Conservation Area, and 38 miles from Eureka Springs.
Your search for a superb Northwest Arkansas vacation spot is over. Plan a trip to Bentonville, Arkansas today for a cultural and recreational experience like no other!

Opa! is popular. I visited at both lunch and dinner times and the place was ever busy, with loads of families in early evenings. The menu is lengthy, a something-for-everyone approach, from chic sliders to loukoumades (Greek donuts).
Opa! is a recent restaurant entry, starting up in 2008, that now has three locations including Los Gatos and Willow Glen. The company is primed for expansion, coming soon to Walnut Creek. The menu was inspired by family recipes from one of the original partners, George Tsaboukos, a chef who has since passed away. While there is no executive chef, the line cooks are well trained.
The regular menu lists nearly 70 items plus specials, desserts and beverages. It takes awhile to ferret through so many offerings. Yet, despite the busy restaurant, I was never hurried, never had a sense of being rushed. The waitstaff was attentive.
While the menu lists numerous mezes/starters, there are many other offerings that would make worthwhile starters. The pita pizzas, as well as the various dips and spreads, could easily be shared appetizers. Portions are very large.
Melitzanosalata ($6.99) was two mounds of roasted eggplant with spices, olive oil and garlic — a little too heavy on the garlic. The accompanying pita bread was thick, warm and delicious.
Zucchini drops ($9.99) were four big balls of shredded zucchini mixed with feta cheese and served on top of a Greek yogurt sauce. Large portion, appetizing and filling.
Opa! baby back ribs ($10.99) were fork-tender and fell off the bone. The pork was topped with a sweet honey glaze and served with onion rings and a green salad. It's a meal in itself listed as a "starter."
Another listing in the starter category were the Opa! sliders ($9.99). Three mid-sized burgers were each topped with a different Greek-inspired sauce: spicy feta, horiatiki (Greek salad) and tzatziki (yogurt, cucumbers, olive oil). Good-tasting but bigger than sliders usually are, so be careful how much food you order.
One of the signature dishes was pasticio ($14.99). I didn't care much for this dish. It was a heavy cheese- and pasta-laden casserole with not much evidence of the ground sirloin nor the seasoned cloves and nutmeg it was supposed to have. The bechamel sauce added another zillion unnecessary calories to a very bland dish.
The psari psito sti skhara ($22.99), on the other hand, was delicious. The boned, fleshy, Mediterranean branzino had been seasoned with an olive oil vinaigrette and served with braised greens (horta) and oven-roasted potatoes.
Pork souvlaki ($14.99) were two skewers of tender marinated pork seasoned with fresh oregano and fresh lemon juice. For my choice of potato, I chose the Opa! fries, thick-cut and covered with both creamy and crumbly feta. While a side of mustardy Opa! sauce accompanied, I loved just squeezing more lemon over the entire dish. This was my favorite entree.
I also liked the Greek pita pizza ($9.99) with tomato sauce, feta, mozzarella, olives, artichokes and Greek sausage. Opa! has two types of pita baked specially for them. One is the typical flat pocket bread for sandwiches. The other is thinker and spongier, perfect for the bigger-than-I-had-imagined pizza.
For dessert, the Bougatsa ($7.99) consisted of phyllo dough enveloping a mixture of sauteed green apples, whipped ricotta and cream cheese, cinnamon and sugar, all drizzled with raspberry and caramel sauces. Gooey, caloric, and not noteworthy enough to inspire.
Loukoumades ($7.99) was the Opa! version of Greek-style fried donuts — and who wouldn't like that? Eight crisp donut nuggets, tossed in cinnamon and sugar, were drizzled with Greek honey then sprinkled with walnut crumbles. To add to the sinfulness was a huge scoop of vanilla ice cream. This will definitely conclude your eating for a while.
Opa! has a full bar and cocktail menu. The wine list is diminutive but prices are reasonable and pair well with menu items. It also offers a weekend brunch.
Opa! might not quite be an authentic Greek dining experience but it's affordable, a good place for families — and you will never go away hungry.

Making Flying Fun!
The July/August 2012 issue of FAA Safety Briefing explores the fun side of personal flying. Articles focus on many of the interesting activities and opportunities pilots have to keep the spirit of fun and adventure in general aviation alive and well.
Feature articles focus on the fun of light-sport and sport pilot training, the adventure of backcountry flying, and what it takes to be a volunteer pilot. Also, Editor James Williams' article "Beyond the $100 Hamburger" (pg. 20) offers some good suggestions for expanding your flight envelope, whether it's introducing a new surface (water, snow, or grass), or adding a new skill like tail wheel training.
The issue also contains information on each of the 2012 General Aviation Award Winners
(pg. 28) and a profile of Regional FAASTeam Manager Ken Spivey (pg. 41).
In addition, the issue's Nuts, Bolts, and Electrons department (pg. 33) looks at the revised practical test standards (PTS) for aircraft mechanics, and Vertically Speaking (pg. 35) outlines some crucial risk management strategies for safe rotorcraft flights.

President's Message
The Power of Modern Medicine- the Strength of the Human Spirit
In this issue of Healthy Living, we focus on the Neuroscience Center of Excellence, exploring conditions of the spine, neck and brain in depth. Aches and pains are nothing new to most adults, but knowing when a condition requires a physician's involvement can be challenging. The Physicians Roundtable on page 32 features an Eisenhower Neuroscience Institute neurosurgeon, a pain specialist and a neurologist who help explain the range of concerns that can occur in the neck — from muscle strain to severe impairments that require surgical intervention.
You will read the incredible story of William Lopez, whose brain condition was found quite literally by accident and whose subsequent health issues led him to Eisenhower Neuroscience Institute. His challenges are a reminder of the nature of being human and his successes remind us of the power of modern medicine and the strength of the human spirit.
Before the next issue of Healthy Living arrives in the fall, Eisenhower Medical Center will have welcomed its first group of physician residents to our School of Graduate Medical Education and Research. We look forward to introducing these physicians to the community this summer and sharing more with our readers in November. Whether you are a year-round resident or seasonal visitor, I encourage you to stay in touch with Eisenhower Medical Center any time on our Facebook page or via Health Notes, our monthly e-newsletter. You can sign up for Health Notes at emc.org/subscribe.
In good health,
G. Aubrey Serfling
President and Chief Executive Officer

Southern Mass Credit Union Sends Holiday Gifts to Soldiers
The $192 million Southern Mass Credit Union in Fairhaven, Mass., recently wrapped up its sixth annual U.S. Armed Forces Collection Drive. The boxes of much-needed items such as toiletries, candy and sup were presented to the Massachusetts National Guard at its office in Taunton, Mass., and then shipped overseas.
Participating this year were several businesses, East Fairhaven Elementary School, Hastings Middle School and the Fairhaven Council on Aging.
Bethany Pinard, family assistance center specialist with the Army National Guard said, "I want to express my sincere appreciation to Southern Mass Credit Union and all of the community members who contributed items in support of our Armed Forces. Your generosity will directly benefit the soldiers of the 972nd Military Police who are currently deployed to Afghanistan."

text: As a long time non-resident hunter I have spent a lot of time (and money)in Colorado during the past several years. A few of my hunting buddies have suggested that they may no longer hunt in Colorado to show support for the folks there fighting for the RKBA. I'm not sure how much of an impact this would make and it may only be symbolic but I kind of agree with them. But I have also read post from other hunters, both resident and non resident, who think that the Colorado ban does not affect the hunting rifles they use so less hunters in the state make for better odds in drawing tags and harvesting game. Sorry if this has been covered but was wondering what other gun owners/hunters may be thinking.

The other guy was extremely rude and I couldn't stand his grunts and his constant talking while banging the other guy's girl; even if they couldn't pay for their honeymoon room... or whatever! And I could barely enjoy or know if she actually came near the end when being double pounded! I have to say this was the worst video on youporn! Definately a 1 out of 5 rating!

Since the Lexicon is playing up on me, I'm hoping that some of you can help me out with a few things.
~ Do we know when Mad-Eye Moody retired?
~ The Auror Department is a division of the Department for Magical Law Enforcement, correct? Alastor was never head of the Auror department, was he? And who would have been head of the Auror and Magical Law Enforcement departments around the time Moody retired? (If we don't know, do you have any ideas of possibilities?)
~ Do we know about any of the wacky things he did in his later years as an Auror?
~ Do we know when/how he got any of his scars or injuries?
~ (Edit to add: ) The names of any Aurors who might have been fairly new to the job around the time of Moody's retirement would be really helpful, too.
I think that a lot of that stuff has never been specified by JKR, but I just want to make sure I don't put any big canon errors in my fic, and maybe I'll even find some useful ideas.
Thanks to anyone who can help!
-- Chelsea

Does anyone know how the 180mm Rodenstock compares to the 180mm Zeiss Planar? I've found the Rodenstock version to be much cheaper. Cheep!

A 180mm planar is a rare item, so it commands a price even if there are sharper lens designs out there.
The Planar design was for speed, but it suffered in coverage and, inuncoated version, contrast.
I"m not sure which Roddenstock your comparing it to.

Are you sure this is a Zeiss Planar? As far as I know, the 180mm is a Zeiss Sonnar supplied for a Graflex XL.
I have a lot of data on the large format Linhof select Zeiss lenses as I will be creating a web page on this subject someday. The 180mm Sonnar (same as the 180mm Linhof select Sonnar supplied with Linhof cameras between 1955 and the early 1970's) is an outstanding lens. However, you are paying a premium for it's Zeiss status. The main advantage of this lens is performance at wide apertures. In fact, the Sonnar is known to be equally sharp wide open versus stopped down. I own a Linhof select 250mm Sonnar and find this to be true. If you can afford the premium, I would go with the Sonnar.

Thanks for your answers! And your are right that I mistakenly identified it as a Zeiss Planar, instead of a Sonnar. Sorry. I am continuing to look for either lens. To be honest, it will probably boil down to whichever I can afford at the moment they become available.
PS: The Rodenstock is a Rotelar 180mm/F4.5, I believe, and is a "true" telephoto, whatever that means.

I find they're both great lenses. I wont dispute whether the Sonnar is sharper at large apertures, I can't really recall using it at wider than about f8 (thinking about, I'd like to try that). The Rotelar is a lot lighter and more complact and is the lens I carry with me when I want a longer lens along. Hence, I've used it a lot more then the Sonnar, which tends to sit in my 'auto-dry' cabinet. The 180mm Rotelar is really excellent - absolutely no complaints. Actually, my sole complaint is only having one of them! I'd like to get one mounted on a board to use on my 2x3 Graphics. Also, like the 58mm Grandagons for the XL, the Rotelars can have separation problems. Thinking about it, mine does have a thin (a few millimeters) crescent of separation around part of the front element (no effect on performance, evidently) and another I bought (to mount on a lens board) arrived with worse separation and I returned it.
In my opinion, you can't go wrong with either lens, but the Rotelar is a lot easier to carry around and handhold, etc.

A non tele lens, when focused at infinity, will draw out the bellows equal to the focal length, so a 5" lens will focus infinity 5" away from the film plane.
The same can be said for a 24" lens.....focuses at infinity with 24" of bellows draw.
Tele lenses cheat. By adding a negative element to the rear of a short lens the image gets spread over a larger area. but the Ground Glass didn't get bigger so the effect is magnification.
You end up with a 180mm lens that needs less than 180mm to focus infinity.
So the Rotelar is lighter, brighter, cheaper and won't stick out as far.
The Sonnar is a Zeiss, and is sharp wide open.
I know the Sonnar will cover 4x5. I suspect the Rotelar will, but this is where I suspect you'll see a marked performance improvement with the Sonnar.
