I remember when I started Market Rewind not long before "the big bang" -- Bill a.k.a. NoDooDahs and Traderfeed were my aspirational bloggers! They are now both gone, and this old-school blog is starting to look quite 1.0 as well in spite of my periodic maintenance efforts.
Mostly though, financial blogging is a bit of lonely enterprise, and it takes a lot of time and effort to maintain a desired standard of excellence as a solo shop. Therefore, I have joined forces to collaborate with seven other top-notch active traders who have my utmost respect for a combined effort.
Several of the names you will recognize, others are new to the blog-o-sphere, but all are top-rate high performance traders:
- Bob Barnes of BZB Trader;
- Damian Roskill of Skill Analytics;
- Corey Rittenhouse of Catallactic Analysis;
- LeoOOo an accomplished graphics artist and foreign exchange trader extraordinaire
of LeoOOo83's Trading Lessons;
- "Doc" Martindale a long-time therapist interested in high-performance trading; and,
- Mr. Ice another young trader whose annual returns make my head spin.
Yes, a small play on words, but mostly a locale where we hope to raise the bar while having fun and breaking down some of the vertical barriers between disciplines and authors.
Those of you who visit this site frequently know it is a veritable treasure trove of studies and commentary (see "The Vault"), and I will thus keep it posted here for whatever that is worth. Meanwhile, come join us, won't you!? [Bookmark This Site]

It's Top Ten Tuesday time and our topic is primers this week. It will come as no surprise to regular Beauty Info Zone readers that my list is all about Eyeshadow Primers. It's not that I don't have enough facial primers to use for our topic but I'm a little nuts (or maybe a lot) and have this need to have all the eyeshadow primers available. While 10 are mentioned here I have more that I like but maybe not quite as much as these.
Eyeshadow Primers come in all prices which I'm demonstrating for you today with versions that range from $2 to $32. Price isn't always the determining factor when it comes to this type of product. My $2 primer from E.L.F. works almost as well as my $20 Too Faced primers. The important thing to me is to use an eyeshadow primer every time I do my eyes. Primer is meant to even out skintone, make the colors last without creasing, help eyeshadow colors go on more evenly, and create a more vibrant look.
$1-$2 E.L.F. SHADOW LOCK EYELID PRIMER || There are 3 shades of this primer available. Right now E.L.F. is having a moving sale so the colors left are available for $1 but normally they are $2. My favorite is Champagne (there's also Sheer and Pearl) because it is a light taupe/champagne shade adding some interest without a bit of shimmer.
$6.49 MILANI EYESHADOW PRIMER || This is one of my very favorite primers. I usually look for a sale on it and pick up 2 at a time. It took me a while too appreciate it since it's thick at first but I learned to love it after running out of Too Faced Shadow Insurance once and now I always have one handy.
$6.99 NYX EYESHADOW BASE || My only pot eyeshadow primer although that's all I used to use. This has good points and bad. I'm not a fan of the pot itself. For someone with long nails it's just a pain. I bought this in Pearl because I wanted the tiny bit of pearly shimmer which makes this worth getting out a taklon brush to apply it. It's stiff and doesn't go on as easily as a cream product but it does the job well and Ulta often has sales on NYX. This is also available in white and skintone.
$15 em cosmetic eyeshadow primer || No one ever talks about em cosmetics anymore. This Michelle Phan line came out with a bang but it's whimpering away. Out of all the products I've bought from the line this is the stand out. There's a slight gleam to it that peeks through and makes eyeshadow more vibrant. I'd buy this again without a doubt.
$18 bareMinerals PRIME TIME EYESHADOW PRIMER || This is a great primer but it's really small. It's a perfect size for travel though but I'm going through this pretty quickly for home use. I wish I didn't like it this much or that the price wasn't quite this high. My shadows stay so well when I'm using it.
$20 TOO FACED SHADOW INSURANCE || This is the eyeshadow primer that changed the game. It's the most talked about, that's for sure. Be sure you shake it before using it the first time and then again about once a week. It can come out watery which you want to avoid. TFSI is the one I use the most because I can really rely on it. I know it will keep me creasefree under all conditions.
$20 TOO FACED SHADOW INSURANCE CANDLELIGHT || Too Faced created a few more of their Shadow Insurance to meet the needs of everyone. The one I have is Candlelight which is a bright gold that just lights up my eyes. There are days I'll put Candlelight on my lids, TFSI original on my brow bone, and a beautiful brown toned shadow in the crease. There's no glitter in Candlelight but it is a bright shimmery gold. If I wore more glitter eyeshadows I'd buy TF Glitter Glue Shadow Primer since I know the quality of the brand.
$21 LORAC BEHIND THE SCENES EYE PRIMER || I don't know why everyone isn't shouting about this from their rooftops. It's a fabulous eyeshadow primer. There was a small one in my LORAC Pro Palette and once I used it I knew I needed it in a full size. It's $1 more than the Too Faced but it's considerably bigger so there's more bang for your buck. It has a slant tip opening which can get a little messy but I usually squeeze it out on my hand to apply rather than directly on my eye. I'm telling you – you are missing out on a gem if you don't have this primer.
$29 BENEFIT AIR PATROL || I had no intention of buying this because it's obvious I don't need another primer in my life. But I got a sample that lasted me for a few days and that sold me. This is very yellow which is why I wasn't going to buy it. But once I used it I realized that the color wasn't an issue once applied. This is considered to be a BB Cream Eyelid Primer and it has broad spectrum SPF 20 which I'm happy about. The tip is different since it's a "cushion calm" tip that is exceptionally soft. A little goes a long way with this so I expect it to last a good amount of time.
$32 EDWARD BESS ILLUMINATING EYESHADOW BASE || Edward Bess was my splurge item. I bought it much before the Benefit so even though the prices aren't too far different I knew it was a splurge. It comes in three shades (Dune, Cashmere, Suede). Cashmere was my choice and I'm happy that I bought it. It looks a lot like a concealer with its brush applicator. Once I let it dry shadows really adhere to it. Anytime I have a poor performing shadow I turn to this Illuminating Base since I know if it doesn't work with this, then the shadow just isn't going to work. It's worth the extra money even if I save it for special days.
I have other eyeshadow primers that I like (Urban Decay, Make Up For Ever, and IT Cosmetics for example) but they don't get used as often as these 10. I know not everyone needs 10+ eyeshadows in their life but I'm obsessed and obviously obsessive! — Marcia

Royals take 3 of 4 games against Baltimore
O's fall 7-1 to Kansas City on Thursday
Jeremy Guthrie pitched six solid innings and Billy Butler homered and the Kansas City Royals beat the Baltimore Orioles 7-1 on Thursday.
The Royals, who limped into the All-Star break with five consecutive defeats, went 5-2 on the homestand against the Orioles and AL Central Division-leading Detroit Tigers.
Guthrie (10-7), who won 47 games in five seasons with the Orioles, allowed six hits over six innings. He gave up one run, while striking out five and walking one.
Guthrie went 3-1 in July and his 10 victories are one shy of his season high, set in 2010 with the Orioles.
The Royals had 10 hits, including two each by rookie David Lough and Jarrod Dyson. Lough drove in a pair of runs with singles in the first and fifth innings. Alex Gordon also had two RBIs with a triple in the fifth and a sacrifice fly in the second.

Break Free from Installer.....please
I have been out of the mix for sometime and was hoping upon returning that I would find DAZ had discontinued the use of BitRock Installers..........but they have not. In fact I think they have managed to make them even more cumbersom and slower than what I remember.
Not to long ago I recall hearing a rumor that they would be moving away from installers and going to 'ZIP' files like every other vendor in this industry, is this true?
tell me it's true.........:ohh:
It's true.
However, it won't happen overnight, there are a few tens of thousands of installers to change.
So if they are moving in this direction why are the new releases still using the BitRock (lame) installers?
Don't get me wrong I love DAZ and the awesome content they offer just not the way it is packaged. It is very customer UN-friendly.
I know that this topic has been beaten to death, I am wondering if this is a DAZ soon project or something that will happen before the next summer olympics come around......
Fixmypcmike Posts: 17,301
DAZ 3D has an Install Manager stand-alone program for those who want it after they switch to .zips, but until the website infrastructure is there to support it they're still using installers. A lot of older stuff that couldn't be installed on current Macs has been switched to .zips, but the new releases aren't yet.
At the moment they are converting all the older stuff, because the older installers can't be used by people who use Macs.
There will be an install assistant type app available once the main catalogue is converted, which is an optional download, and only needs downloading once.
Once this is available I would think we would see the process of converting the other installers speed up.
What would be great is if someone would write a script that would unpack the BitRock 'exe' files and compress and save them into a 'ZIP' file. I would pay for that script.
I bought a script/program over at Rendo that kinda did that, it ran the exe's in bulk but then DAZ changed the lay out and the program wouldn't work with newer BitRock files.
I don't want a program that will necisarrily install the file but one that will convert them to 'ZIP' files from the exe's.....that would be AWESOME!
Well once the whole Da catalogue is converted, all you will need to do is redownload them :roll:
And yes That was said jokingly. I have well in excess of 1500 items in my itemised history, so I know that is not a serious thing to suggest to anyone.
Richard Haseltine Posts: 56,676
Older content, where the Mac installer didn't work on recent versions of the OS, have already been converted but I suspect newer content will have to wait until the Install Manager is available - zips vs installers divides the user base, and not everyone would agree that installers are user-unfriendly, so they may want to make sure there is an option for those who prefer the installers before switching fully.
I agree Richard not everyone finds the installer unfriendly....I just find them to be cunmbersome and slower than simply unzipping a ZIP file.
...and as you said Chole, I am realistically not going to re-DL all my past purchases which is why I would love to see a program or script to 'convert' the exe's to zips. That would make me happy for sure.
I wish I were smart enough to develope that piece of software but I am not. I am not programer or software genius but I would think someone out there is, like I said earlier I would definatly pay good $ for a program that would do that.
SnowSultan Posts: 2,348
Does anyone know if we will still be able to get stand-alone installers once the install assistant is put in place, or will that replace them? I'm not a huge fan of Steam-like installers, but (strange but true!) I like the installers we've always had and don't want to use zips.
Fixmypcmike Posts: 17,301
It's not Steam-like, it's just like the installers now, you download it and run it on your computer. Only difference is that there's one installer you download once, and the actual content is in the zips.
ETA: There is an option to have it do all the downloading, check for updates, etc., but I'm told you can just use it like the current installers, it just won't be built into every product, just a one-time download.Post edited by Fixmypcmike on
SnowSultan Posts: 2,348
Oh, so it will extract and install from the zips when it's used? Sounds good, thank you for the information.
kyoto kid Posts: 31,632
...the nice aspect of .zip files it makes it easier to set up a custom runtime. No more useless folders in the Daz Content tree, no more having to move things around after the fact (and possibly risk breaking important links). I've had zero issues with anything I DLd from Rendo, RuntimeDNA, EvilInnocence, Xurge, or the Fantasy Attic. Only the Daz installers are what have made a mess of my runtime.
RAMWolff Posts: 9,318
Yes, and delete the annoying spam shortcut to the store too. I did get one older product in a zip file but there was an exe within the zip which is kinda uh... stupid. One or the other. Zipping up an installer does not tell me it's going to be easier, just another click or two actually. I hope that's not the case.

Perfect weather for gardening
Want to create a fantastic fall garden? By now, your yard might be looking a little neglected. We all think of spring and summer as times to make our yard and garden areas shine, but why not fall? Leftover and sad looking plants in mud-spattered, tilted containers and summer flowers on their last leg are easy to replace.
Our weather is perfect right now for a good general cleanup outdoors. Begin by emptying most of the summer annuals from their containers. Be brave — just throw them away or, better yet, put them into a compost pile. Remove or trim any pitiful looking plants that have braved all summer with you. Cut near the base of the plant, down in the foliage, to keep plants looking tidy. After your clean up is completed, then you can go shopping!
Just by putting some fresh bright garden mums in cleaned up containers near the front door, you have begun celebrating fall. Nothing says fall like pumpkins. Dozens of varieties of cheery pumpkins, gourds and squash are available at stores all over town. A huge Cinderella pumpkin or two will add color to your entry. Stack up three or four flatter pumpkins with greenery in between for a fun look.
Create a focal point with one dramatic addition to your front yard or possibly to the patio area. Choose a tall plant that will not mind cooler weather to add architectural interest. Unexpected options such as super tall fountain grass in a container will be a refreshing addition to your space. These tall grasses are usually cold hardy and showy in the fall.
Impatiens will still give us color until our rare freeze, but adding kale and pansies to the area will give it some punch. And when the impatiens are gone, the others will live on. Don't be afraid to add in some vegetable plants to your landscape plants. Most lettuces, spinach and beets produce loads of good-looking greenery and you get the bonus when part of the plant is in your kitchen. Working in the garden this time of year is an absolute joy.

Best web design company is one that can create a search engine friendly, fast downloading and W3C compatible website in quick time. There are many firms that claim to create compelling websites but you should beware of frauds that make tall claims just to earn quick money. Website designing is an art and a designer needs to understand the business he is going to transform in a website. Internet is a bigger marketplace and a designer needs to know what works on the web. There are billions of websites on the Internet and it is a challenge for a designer to create a website that truly represents the business, it is designed for.
Best web design company is one that can make a website that is the exact replica of the business it is representing on the Internet. A designer expects from a webmaster to give him a rough sketch of website he wants to design. But a majority of webmasters are unable to draw a rough print of the website they are dreaming of. It is the quality of a designer to know what a webmaster wants and give him exactly the website he wants. In other words, the webmaster and the designer have to work in tandem to create a fully functional website.
Best web design company is one that can re-design an old website and give it an all new look and theme. Many webmasters want to re-design their websites instead of getting a new websites. Some websites just need a few extra pages and balancing of the design elements. The designers should be ready to do this renovation work but they shouldn't take it lightly as re-designing a website is more difficult than creating a fresh website. If you have website but it is not getting traffic then consider refreshing your web pages with new content, pictures and graphics.
Best web design company is one that is accessible and always happy to help. It is the duty of a designer to keep the webmaster updated about the designing of his website. The webmaster should be informed by the designer at each stage and should proceed further only after getting a green signal from the webmaster. The website should be made live after checking its performance and W3C compatibility. The webmaster may raise some issues during the designing of his website. The designer should take note of each issue raised by the webmaster and resolve the issue satisfactorily.

Assisted suicide laws criticised
Health ministers have joined calls for a fresh look at relaxing the law against assisted suicide, with one calling it "ridiculous and appalling" that terminally-ill people were forced abroad to take their own lives.
Tory MP Anna Soubry reopened the fraught right-to-die debate in an outspoken interview with The Times just days after being appointed a junior minister in the Department of Health (DoH) in David Cameron's reshuffle.
And her Liberal Democrat colleague Norman Lamb, who was shifted to the health brief at the same time, said he believed there was "a strong case" for the present law to be reconsidered.
Their interventions sparked strong responses on both sides of the argument, with opponents including the president of the British Medical Association, warning any change in the law could put vulnerable people at risk.
But ministers also faced a call to go further still from the widow of locked-in syndrome sufferer Tony Nicklinson who died a week after he lost his legal bid to end his life with a doctor's help. Ms Soubry indicated that she would be opposed to any change that resulted in doctors being told they could kill someone.
Jane Nicklinson, whose lawyers say she has a "compelling" case to be allowed to continue her husband's legal fight, welcomed Ms Soubry's willingness to "stick her neck out" but said rights should not be restricted to the dying.
Ms Soubry said there needed to be more "honesty" about the consequences. She said: "I think it's ridiculous and appalling that people have to go abroad to end their life instead of being able to end their life at home. The rules that we have about who we don't prosecute allow things to happen but there's a good argument that we should be a bit more honest about it."
The DoH insisted the Government had no plans at present to legislate on the issue, which was a matter of individual conscience for MPs and could only be decided by parliament.
Since new guidelines for prosecutors in assisted suicide cases were brought in in February 2010, anyone acting with compassion to help end the life of someone who has decided they cannot go on is unlikely to face criminal charges.
But assisted suicide remains a criminal offence in England and Wales, punishable by up to 14 years in prison, and individual decisions on prosecution are made on the circumstances in each case.

Sanctions against Venezuela advance in House
WASHINGTON (AP) — Legislation to punish Venezuela's government for human rights abuses is advancing in Congress over objections from the Obama administration.
The House Foreign Affairs Committee recommended on Friday passage of the bill, which now goes to the full chamber for consideration. Two Democrats voted against it.
The bill orders the Obama administration to ban visas and freeze the assets of Venezuelan officials who violated human rights during anti-government protests that have roiled the South American nation since February.
Similar legislation has been proposed in the Senate but has so far hasn't advanced out of committee. The State Department's top diplomat for Latin America told a Senate committee Thursday that now isn't the appropriate time for sanctions and urged waiting for the outcome of talks between the opposition and the government.

Man of Steel has more than earned its keep, and deserves to be THE iconic Superman movie for a whole new generation.
Man of Steel re-imagines the legend of Superman in modern movie fashion - beginning with the story of his home planet, Krypton. We first witness the miraculous birth of Kal-El, son of prominent scientist Jor-El (Russell Crowe) and Lara Lor-Van (Ayelet Zurer), who happens to be the first naturally born Kryptonian (i.e., not genetically engineered) in a long time. Unfortunately, Kal's birth comes just at the time when Krypton's society is fracturing under the fear inspired by Jor-El's prediction that the planet's end is nigh.
An attempted military coup by General Zod (Michael Shannon) sets into motion a series of fateful events that see young Kal-El raised on Earth, where he is warned by his adoptive parents (Kevin Costner and Diane Lane) that his god-like alien powers will one day force him to make a choice about how he will change the world for better or worse. And when Zod and his minions suddenly appear in Earth's orbit, ready to finish what was started on Krypton, Kal-El/Clark Kent realizes that his prophesied moment of choice has now arrived.
As was hoped for by many, Man of Steel is a fine marriage between the rich character-centric storytelling of Dark Knight Trilogy architects Chris Nolan and David S. Goyer, and the signature visual talents of director Zack Snyder. The movie is very much "Superman Begins" in terms of its narrative approach and structure; however, in terms of themes and tone the film achieves its own identity as an insightful, reverent and effectively relatable Superman story. Are there liberties taken with certain details of the costume, origin story or character relationships? Of course. But then again; this is a fresh start to present a new Superman to a modern world - and in that, Man of Steel ultimately succeeds.
Visually, this is Snyder's most impressive film yet - and it looks pretty stunning in 3D. Everything from Kryptonian culture and technology to the way Superman's powers (and the impossible physics surrounding them) operate looks on point and believable (enough) in a real-world context. Add to that an abundance of visual iconography and head nods to both the comics and Richard Donner's seminal films (in particular Superman II) and it's clear that Man of Steel's director has true love, understanding and appreciation for the subject matter at hand.
The action sequences - while at times a bit too CGI-heavy - are pretty epic in nature and certainly deliver on that perennial fanboy desire to see a film that depicts how super-powered beings would look and feel battling it out in a real-world setting. The wonderful pacing, editing, smart selection of scenes and abundance of action make this two-plus-hour ride go rather quickly; although by the climax, seeing flying men get punched through buildings over and over again might have you checking your watch. The score by Dark Knight composer Hans Zimmer is phenomenal and heightens the film every turn, while also establishing yet another new-age superhero theme to replace a classic favorite (John Williams' Superman theme from the Donner films).
Script-wise, the story moves at a nonstop pace and should be wholly familiar to fans of Batman Begins in terms of structure; while comic book fans will also recognize several modern Superman stories that were mined for this film's plot. A lengthy prologue introduces us to the world of Krypton in detailed and imaginative fashion, before we break into that signature Nolan non-linear scene montage format, covering Clark Kent's life on Earth, past and present. The second act settles back into linear character and plot development (the re-introduction of General Zod), while the third act takes things into a full-on, over-the-top, super-powered showdown.
In terms of quality, the script definitely has strength and heart in terms of characterization and themes; Nolan and Goyer seem to understand Superman and his origins as well as they did Batman's, as well as the similarities and the distinct differences between the two characters. The film contains some powerful moments and character beats - particularly where Clark Kent and his human parents are concerned.
At the same time, Man of Steel is not without some noticeable narrative flaws. The script can be very "comic-bookish" in some scenes of dialogue, and the jumps in time and place during the first act are not as cohesive as they were in Batman Begins. Clever editing and speedy movement earlier on often comes at the price of effective narrative development. In short: if you were one of those people who were hung up on the question of how Bruce Wayne made it back to Gotham after escaping prison in Dark Knight Rises, you'll find similar gripes with Man of Steel. Thankfully, the studio and filmmakers pull the same magic trick they did with the Batman franchise by casting an impressive array of highly-talented actors, who help elevate the weaker points of the script.
Henry Cavill's role is pared-down and restrained much of the time, which, combined with the talent of his co-stars, helps to overcome any deficiencies in his performance and sell him as the new Superman for a new era. By the end, he locks down the role and franchise as his own. Amy Adams (even with her different hair color) and Laurence Fishburne (even with his different skin color) both nail their respective characters of Lois Lane and Perry White and have great chemistry with each other, and with Cavill. Michael Shannon was the perfect left-field casting choice for General Zod, as he and Antje Traue (as Zod's lieutenant, Faora-Ul) manage to ground all of the alien fantasy with no-nonsense performances that steer well clear of comic book villain campiness.
Meanwhile, Diane Lane, Kevin Costner and Russell Crowe add Oscar-caliber gravitas and heart to the film as Superman's two sets of parents. Crowe gets a substantial amount of screen time to really flesh-out the character of Jor-El like never before, while Lane and Costner totally carry the family drama subplot, which is the most moving and beautiful element of the story. Even military side-characters like Genearl Swanwick, Colonel Nathan Hardy and scientist Emil Hamilton get a boost from being portrayed by fine actors like Harry Lennix (The Matrix 2 & 3), Christopher Meloni (Law & Order: SVU) and Richard Schiff (The West Wing), respectively.
On the whole, this movie is exactly the sort of experience that many Superman fans have been asking for, with the added benefit of having some smart storytellers providing fresh insight into why the character is one of the most iconic fictional creations out there. Like Nolan and Christian Bale's first Batman outing, Snyder and Cavill's first crack at Superman isn't a homerun (we'll call it a triple), but having succeeded in re-introducing the franchise to the masses; crafting a satisfying summer blockbuster; melding real-world sensibility with sci-fi fantasy (better than Green Lantern ever did) AND leaving the door open for an entire DC superhero universe to follow behind it, Man of Steel has more than earned its keep, and deserves to be THE iconic Superman movie for a whole new generation. (Sorry, Bryan Singer...)
...And, if the Batman franchise is anything to judge by, imperfections will be corrected and the best is still yet to come with the inevitable Man of Steel 2.

Man of Steel is now in theaters. It is 143 minutes long and is Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence, action and destruction, and for some language.

US Bank loan lets HLS kill more animals
Huntingdon Life Sciences faced financial ruin. But US Bank's $120 million loan kept them open to poison dogs, cats, monkeys and more animals in tests for pesticides, sweeteners, diet pills… So today animals still collapsed, frothing at the mouth. Dogs who didn't get enough anesthesia "whimpered and moved" while cut apart.
US Bank is currently Huntingdon's top debt-relief source. Though made aware of 7 investigations that reveal habitual animal abuse and fraudulent science, the bank approved this mega loan. Apparently US Bancorp doesn't see animal cruelty as reason to blacklist a company, as it does with illegal gun sellers, gambling websites, etc. Like hundreds of other firms that dumped HLS, US Bank has access to footage and documents about techs who punch beagle puppies, dissect live animals, falsify data and botch experiments so badly that animals seize and die on the spot.
Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty UK launched a global campaign in 1999, with unified U.S. action a few years later. Anti-HLS efforts target the lab's infrastructure: Financiers, customers and suppliers are strongly urged to dump HLS in ongoing letter/phone/email campaigns and live protests. Any company with ties to HLS is exposed to evidence of animal abuse.
Dear U.S. Bancorp Executive Officers and Employees,
It is refreshing to know that a corporation as large as U.S. Bancorp rejects business from illegal gun sellers, gambling websites, pornographers, and other enterprises judged corrupt or immoral.
Please add animal cruelty to your criterion for blacklisted companies. I was genuinely surprised to learn that U.S. Bank National Association approved a $120 million loan for Huntingdon-Life-Sciences. This controversial research laboratory, with facilities in England and New Jersey, is on record for: Multiple violations of animal welfare law in the United States and England, personnel cited for animal cruelty and on- site drug/alcohol use, and payoffs to the U.S. Agriculture Department for fraudulent records and animal welfare noncompliance.
Investigative footage that spans more than a decade shows animals who vomit, stagger, seize and collapse. Veterinary inspection is rare. H-L-S violence first went public when a UK Channel Four TV series, Countryside Undercover, broadcast reports from the lab's Beagle Unit. A U.S. probe revealed dogs killed when dosing tubes misdirected into their lungs (rather then stomachs) choked them in poison. During post-mortem dissection, a tech cut apart the chest of a still conscious monkey. Another was filmed punching beagles: "A worker swung a puppy by the scruff of her neck…and continually punched her as she screamed," the investigator noted.
In 2005, two H-L-S workers left their jobs distressed over suffering seen for 12 months. Their testimonials also described coworkers who "grab dogs by the scruff, shout and swear, swing and slap them." They witnessed: Dogs barely anesthetized for painful procedures like bone marrow extraction; staff needle-jabbing contests; and routinely forged records to hide slip-ups.
In 2008, Animal Defenders International publicized H-L-S logs about inhalation tests with monkeys cinched in chairs to breathe in toxic fumes. The animals were so stressed, some suffered rectal prolapse and many self-mutilated to cope. One gnawed off an entire finger. Another shredded her face and had to eat via tube. Animals died in agony from collapsed or obstructed lungs.
Pharmaceutical firm Novartis withdrew sponsorship of an H-L-S study altogether, after disclosure of botched xenotransplantation tests in which pig hearts were stitched to the necks of hundreds of monkeys. The Daily Express exposed evidence of monkeys "screaming, reluctant to move, salivating, huddled with severe tremors on torso and head, collapsing, gasping."
Biotechnology has evolved with breakthroughs in human-based methods relevant to human conditions. Conversely, animal tests mislead researchers due to metabolic, anatomic, physiological and psychological discrepancies between species. Erroneous animal data may speed new drugs through clinical trials to market, but lead to unforeseen adverse drug reactions in the general population. U.S. Food and Drug Administration lists ADRs as the fourth top cause of death, with over two million victims each year.
If a companion animal shares your home, you know how frightening pain is for your furry friend. The animals at H-L-S are no different, except pain is amplified. I urge you to join Royal Bank of Scotland, HSBC, Citibank, Bank of New York, Merrill Lynch, Charles Schwab, Barclays Plc, Stephens Inc. and hundreds more firms that severed relations with H-L-S. I encourage you to explore any cause-for-termination language in the current loan agreement as well.
I realize you may receive letters similar to mine, but these words accurately express my thoughts. Thank you for your valuable time. I look forward to any feedback you can provide.
Thank you for everything you do for animals!

Motivation to quit smoking once and for all
By Jennifer Diveley
TriWest Healthcare Alliance
The average smoker tries to quit 20 times before succeeding. Some people are motivated to stop smoking to improve their health. Others say they stopped smoking "cold turkey" for personal reasons. Whatever the reason, the bottom line is that it's not easy to quit!
You probably already know that smoking is bad for you, but did you know it can also be hurting those you love?
• Exposure to secondhand smoke can cause asthma in children.
• Regular exposure to secondhand smoke can trigger asthma attacks and make asthma symptoms worse.
• Children younger than age 6 who are exposed regularly to secondhand smoke are at an increased risk for pneumonia and bronchitis.
As for you, smoking causes cancer, heart disease, stroke and emphysema. It also causes you to age early, creating wrinkles and turning your teeth yellow.
Nov. 15: The Great American Smokeout
Thursday, Nov. 15 is the annual Great American Smokeout. Do you think you can quit for just one day?
If you participate in the Great American Smokeout, you'll be joining thousands of other smokers across the nation who made the promise to quit for the day. If you have tried to stop smoking in the past, but have been unsuccessful in your effort, you are not alone.
Ready to try and kick the habit? The first step is to make a plan. You can find information, tools, and other resources to help you quit by visiting www.TriWest.com/tobacco.

|Lexicon RT-20 Universal Disc Player
|Saturday, 01 April 2006
Page 2 of 3
The Music
I began my listening with an old King Crimson classic, "Starless and Bible Black" (Virgin Records). As part of the King Crimson 25th Anniversary Collection of digitally remixed and remastered albums, "Starless and Bible Black" sounds materially better than the original release. Right from the opening track, "Great Deceiver," and throughout the album, I was taken back by the coherence and breadth of the overall soundstage. I particularly enjoyed the clarity of Bill Bruford's snare drum and high hat, as well as the smoothness of John Wetton's lead vocal. Instrument separation was far better than average, especially on "Great Deceiver" and "The Night Watch." Fripp's guitars were delivered without any edginess and never muddied the soundstage. Violin and viola sections throughout the album by David Cross were fluid yet textured enough to sound live. Overall, the RT-20 imparted an ease to my listening experience on "Starless and Bible Black" that I enjoyed immensely.
When Sony first released many of Bob Dylan's best titles on SACD, it was an experience in renewed clarity. I was shocked to hear many guitar and percussion parts that were less evident in previous low-resolution versions. While not all of Dylan's albums available on SACD mixed in surround sound, they all sound exceptional compared to their originals, given the obvious limitations of recording techniques during the era when they were first recorded. In my evaluation of the RT-20, I opted for Dylan's 1965 classic, "Bringing It All Back Home" (Sony Music Entertainment), in two-channel SACD. Beginning with "Subterranean Homesick Blues," Dylan's vocals sounded natural and the separation between each instrument was impressive. This was equally true on "Maggie's Farm," where it was possible to follow the background electric guitar behind Dylan's vocal and harmonica almost note for note. Of course, no review would be complete without mentioning "Mr. Tambourine Man." The beauty of this song lies in its simplicity and Dylan's spirited performance. The RT-20 never interfered with my ability to feel like Dylan was performing live in my living room. The most subtle details, such as the sound of the pick dragging over the strings of Dylan's acoustic guitar, helped breathe life into this familiar classic.
To conclude my audio evaluation of the RT-20, I would naturally listen to some DVD-Audio, and Neil Young's "Harvest" (Reprise Records) easily fit that bill. Although the surround mix on "Harvest" is sometimes awkward, with instruments emanating from channels that I would not have expected – a lone high hat cymbal in the rear left channel, for example – the RT-20 did an excellent job handling instrument clarity and making the soundstage feel more palatable than I have heard with other DVD-A players. The string arrangements on "A Man Needs a Maid" were accurately reproduced, creating a dynamic tapestry of sound. Furthermore, the bass and kick drum on "Heart of Gold" were deep but not overpowering and the acoustic guitars sounded natural. The highlight here clearly was Young's harmonica which, although it irked me a bit because it originated from the rear surround channels, still sounded as live as any harmonica I have heard on my system. Finally, on "Alabama" and "Words," Young's signature distorted Gibson electric guitars were in full bloom, proving that the RT-20 can definitely handle the dynamics of hard rock.
The Movies
To evaluate the RT-20's newly upgraded video capabilities with HDMI, I reached for the Widescreen Edition of "Miracle" (Walt Disney Home Entertainmen), the emotional story of the 1980 Olympic gold medal-winning ice hockey team. In Scene 7, "Again!," where Kurt Russell (playing the role of coach Herb Brooks) puts the team through the paces after tying the Norwegian team during pre-Olympic competition, skin tones during the team handshake were highly accurate. Shadow detail was about as good as I have experienced with my Fujitsu Plasmavision during the drills, especially after the rink manager shut down the house lights. It was easy to see subtle details in the texture of the ice and uniforms. Blacks were true and deeper than usual, with far less noise than other DVD players I have tested. In Scene 13, "Olympics Begin," when Brooks explains to his star player Jack O'Callahan that he can remain on the team despite Callahan's injury, color saturation of yellows, blues and reds of the rink and surrounding details were stellar and surpassed the quality of those rendered by the Faroudja NRS-DVI processor and Lexicon RT-10 I previously had in my system. In Scene 14, "I Am a Hockey Player," when the United States battles Sweden on the ice, the picture had a depth and silkiness that one generally associates with high-definition video. This effect is no doubt attributable to the high-quality scaler in the RT-20, as well as the benefits associated with fully digital HDMI technology.
I concluded my time with the RT-20 watching one of my favorite films of all time, director/writer/actor Roberto Benigni's "Life Is Beautiful" (Miramax Home Entertainment, 1997, Widescreen Collector's Edition). "Life Is Beautiful," nothing short of a true masterpiece, is the story of a waiter (Benigni) who, by exercising his extraordinary imagination and remarkable sense of humor, saves his Italian-Jewish family from destruction during the Holocaust. The cinematography, by the legendary Tonino Delli Colli, whose career as a cinematographer spanned six decades with almost 150 film credits, has a beautiful simplicity and a rich, classic feel. This allows the viewer to be quickly captured by Benigni's fable with a magnetism that is rare in movie-watching, especially in digital home cinema. In Scene 14, "A Wedding Announcement," the most subtle details in the 1940s-style costumes are beautifully depicted and the Ethiopian cake, in the familiar colors of Italy, is remarkably grand in appearance, especially the warm candlelight that accents the cake's golden trim. In Scene 18, ""Where Are We Going?," where Benigni's character lies to his son Joshua, telling him they are going on trip for his birthday when in fact they are being transferred to a concentration camp, the shadow detail here was excellent. Later, as the family is temporarily reunited as they await the second leg of their trip, the color saturation of the surrounding scene reminded me of a classic film with its picture perfectly restored. Throughout the film, I truly enjoyed the accuracy with which the RT-20 delivered "Life Is Beautiful," particularly the amazingly saturated colors and artifact-free picture.
The picture quality of the RT-20 was so enjoyable with HDMI that I found myself revisiting many DVDs in my collection just to see how great they could look. When I watched "The Matrix," "He Got Game," "Cast Away" and "Fargo," my conclusions were consistent. Shadow detail and black levels were much improved from the RT-10. In addition, colors were highly accurate and beautifully saturated. At times, some scenes had a delicious-looking quality to them that was reminiscent of a fine painting. It is really hard to find much fault with the video performance of the RT-20 other than perhaps suggest that I wish it was capable of 1080p output. This is arguable, however. While on one hand, 1080p surpasses the level of performance of my plasma display, it would be nice to know it was there, as newer displays will offer this capability in the future.

Earth Day is a great opportunity to remember the green options that the American Anthropological Association offers to its members:
AAA Journals To Go Fully Digital in 2016
Readers may recall that in November 2013, the AAA Executive Board adopted a series of recommendations from the Committee for the Future of Print and Electronic Publishing that embrace new ways of producing and distributing its journals and endeavor to get the association's publishing program on sustainable footing. One of the several changes includes member print copies becoming fully digital starting in 2016. Individual members can purchase, at cost, a print subscription to any journal published by sections that member has joined if they wish to receive the print copy.
Don't want to wait until 2016 for your digital copies? You can help lower our ecological footprint today by opting out of receiving AAA's print journals. 14 section journals are currently participating in this special green initiative. Receive the same great content online as you would in the print version. Contact Members Services to participate today.
Green Annual Meeting Registration
More than 25% of meeting attendees last year opted for the Green Registration. Offered at a discounted rate, the green registration offsets AAA's carbon footprint by choosing to use an e-reader formatted program, online personal scheduler and/or the AAA Annual Meeting Mobile app to navigate the conference. Thus far, more than 30% of meeting registrants have opted to go green. Meeting Registration is going on now, if you haven't already, opt to go Green today!
The Anthropology and the Environment Section offer guidelines, called "Greening the Meeting," to help meeting participants reduce their carbon footprint. Their suggestions include individual choices to be made about transportation, use of standard hotel services, and communications.

SXSW Interactive – Sunday, March 9, 2008
Mar 9 2008
Although I've lived in Austin for quite some time, I have never made it to SXSW but now since a big part of what I do for my company is social media related, I finally had a great reason to go. Most people associate SXSW with music, film making, bands, and people partying all night long. For those visiting from out of town and attending the music pieces of SXSW that might be true, but for those of us attending SXSW Interactive who live in town and have kids to take care of, we aren't able to party (or should I say not interested in partying) all night long. Although tonight I was tempted to stay out late after having been asked by a couple of people to join some after parties. But since I just got back from Los Angeles, I figured I should get home and give my husband a little back-up break with the kids. Here are some brief overviews of the sessions I attend.
Mark Zuckerberg, Founder of facebook
Mark who is a 23 year old billionaire, seemed to be more comfortable during the interview than what I've heard he has been before, but he seemed to say some of the same stuff over and over again. I forgot my regular camera and my cell phone camera is not that great, hence the not-so-great picture above. However, here are some interesting things he said:
- He mentioned that facebook was going to change their incentive system to one where the more invites you send out that are accepted, the more opportunities you have to invite others to join your network.
- He also said that at facebook, they begin with the premise that everyone is fundamentally good and not trying to do evil/illicit things.
- He felt that all of the mistakes they have made so far have had to do with them not giving their users enough control over the process.
- He believes terrorism stems from people not feeling connected to each other.
The interviewer, Sarah Lacy, from BusinessWeek.com, had a strange interviewing style. Sadly, much of the audience was wondering why she was asking the questions she did and why she was asking them the way she did. Honestly, it seemed like she was a teenage girl flirting with a billionaire 20 something entrepreneur and many of her questions weren't really questions they were statements. After, the audience turned on her, I thought she might wonder why but apparently she thought she did a great job and said Mark told her she did a great job. Omar Gallaga, who blogs for Austin 360 Digital Savant did a post-panel video interview with her that you can see HERE. Check it out, it's a good interview. She believes that since she is one of the few women tech journalists that she always gets flack and is misunderstood. Since I'm a woman in tech, after seeing her today I wouldn't agree with her assessment of why the audience didn't like her, but kudos to her for putting herself out there and trying. I know she is being flamed on the Internet for the interview but if she can bounce back from this and learn & grow from this experience, she will be on her way to achieving great things.
Thom Singer, Author and Speaker on Networking
I tried hard to make it to Thom's book reading, but after getting out of the room after Zuckerberg spoke, it was something like a 3 block hike from one end of the convention center to the other. I arrived as he was wrapping up his Q&A. Thom is an author and blogs at Some Assembly Required. He's about to release a new book called Some Assembly Required for Women.
Kathy Sierra, Author and Speaker
Kathy Sierra was a very interesting speaker. She gave tips and advice on how to get your customers (and employees) passionate about your products. The room was packed and since I was coming back from the other side of the convention center they wouldn't let us in! As I came up to the front of the line to ask what was going on, they said they couldn't let us in because of fire code violation stuff. I was in line with Francine Hardaway and we along with a few others made some noise about how full it had been at the Zuckerberg talk and surely they can let us in since there weren't more than 20 to 30 of us waiting outside and we had seen some people leave. After a few minutes, they let us in. Since I haven't been blogging for a year yet, I didn't know the back story on Kathy's blogging stalker weirdness almost a year ago. She indicated that she might start blogging again, which I look forward to.
The Super Collider: A Hero of the Social Network
I attended this panel briefly and it wasn't what I thought it would be. One of the panelists discussed how she was using the various social networks and social media to promote her business. It was interesting, but nothing new so I took off to the Entrepreneur's Lounge at Fogo de Chao Brazilian restaurant for a short after party. It was hosted by ATI and uShip. Ran into Bryan Mennell of Austin Startup blog there.
Hearing these people speak was fascinating but what was even more exciting to me was meeting face to face with many of my blogging friends and meeting new friends including Wendy Piersall of eMoms at Home, Liz Strauss of Successful Blog, Tamar Weinberg of Mashable, Gina Trapani of lifehacker, Laura Mayes of Sk*rt, Annalee Newitz of io9 (she blogs on sci-fi stuff), and Tim Walker of Hoovers Business.
