Lamkin R.E.L. 3GEN Black Standard Grip with White Cap
The Lamkin R.E.L. 3GEN Black Standard Grip is Lamkins latest premium grip for all woods and irons that combines revolutionary 3GEN synthetic rubber compound material with R.E.L.'s minimal surface pattern design, creating one of the most advanced grips on the market. Both of these aspects together gracefully allow the golfer to apply very light grip pressure and gain more control of the club throughout the golf swing.
3GEN's advanced synthetic rubber compound reduces impact jolts without dulling shot feel -- producing a smooth, single-strike impact. The minimal surface pattern helps maximize surface area contact with the hands, providing enough pattern for comfort and a loads of tackiness - thus reducing the tension necessary to maintain control through swing and impact. That helps reduce player fatigue and promote an ideal grip position to hit the ball longer, faster and with more accuracy.

Manufacture a Product for me
Budget $30-250 USD
Hi guys, I have a concept idea which I would like to know if it's possible to design and build. For cinema cameras, some use a CFast 2.0 card as their memory card to store the film. These cards are extremely expensive, so I'd like to find an alternative. Is there any way to design and implement a different technology such as an M.2 card (SATA III interface) in the shape of a CFast card so it would fit in the camera and provide a SATA III speed high capacity card? Alternatively, if that is not possible, I'd like to consider a CFast breakout device which fits into the CFast card slot and protrudes cables to an adapter which connects to and houses an M.2 card. I'm looking for a very small device that can be attached to the side of the camera, maybe with velcro, that is small, light and discreet. Some cameras have two CFast slots so if two of these devices are used, they could both be attached in a tidy way.
In the photo is a CFast breakout cable that leads to a SATA connector so that SSD drives can be used. But I'm looking for something that is either going to fit inside the cfast slot or outside it with a very small form-factor. Two SSD drives and their cage are quite big.
I am not wealthy, so this has to be done quite cheaply. If this device is possible and marketable, I would also like to offer you a percentage of all sales.
Some replies about whether it's possible are very welcome, and some bids. I'll take on board everything that happens here and will plan it and get together the required funding, if it's not out of my budget. Then I'll get back in touch with you in the near future to get the ball rolling.
Thank you.
Lee from UK.
P.S. Actually, is it possible to create new high-speed CFast cards from scratch? Let's market them and take over the overpriced market :)

Last Fall, Maddie hosted cooking club and the theme was one of my faves: cook a dish from your heritage. So I decided to make my Grandma Pete proud and make Swedish meatballs. I used a modified version of this recipe with some lingonberries and it was spot on. I tasted my childhood in these little guys. I even got the stamp of approval from Joe!
We also had a shepherd's pie, Norwegian meatballs, challah bread, bolognese and a potato pancake of sorts (it's hidden by my pasta on my plate!). So, sooo good.
What would you make for a heritage cooking club?
P.S. Here are past cooking clubs.

Column: Champions League a true test of quality for Barcelona, Bayern and Man United this year
Barcelona, Manchester United and Bayern Munich are devaluing their own success by making it look too easy.
Although it is still winter in Europe, they are already 99 percent certain of winning their leagues in Spain, England and Germany. Their leads are so large — 15 points for Bayern, 12 for both United and Barcelona — that it would be truly stunning if they collapsed in the months ahead and failed to lift their domestic trophies.
Impressive, but not very illuminating.
The downside of such dominance is that it hasn't told us as much as we would like about how good Barcelona, United and Bayern actually are this season. Truly exceptional? Or made to look that way by domestic rivals performing worse than expected?
Which is why their progress in the knockout stages of the Champions League, starting with United's match Wednesday at Real Madrid, will be particularly interesting this year. Flunk this European test and it might be said that United, Barcelona and Bayern's 2013 teams didn't rank among their greatest, even if they win their domestic leagues by a country mile.
That said, Barcelona this season looks as awesome as its team that won the Champions League in 2011, when it gave a football lesson to United in the Wembley final. Lionel Messi is even more impressive than he was then, proving that he can perfect perfection. With two additional years in their 30-plus-year-old legs, you would give United defenders Rio Ferdinand and Patrice Evra even less chance now of thwarting Messi should their paths cross again in Europe in the months ahead.
The effort of wresting away the Spanish league from Barcelona in 2012 seems to have exhausted Madrid. Two months ago, Madrid coach Jose Mourinho was already conceding that his team had fallen too far behind its historic rival to defend the Spanish title in 2013. That lack of sustained pressure from Madrid has made Barcelona's near-flawless season — 20 wins in 23 league games; 62 points from a possible 69 — seem a little less astounding than it is.
If Messi and friends want to be described again as the best club team in football history, as they were by some in 2011, they need to win this year in Europe, because running away with a lopsided Spanish league title won't, by itself, be enough. Anything less than a place in the Wembley final on May 25 would be a failure for a team that, in Messi, has arguably the best footballer ever. Barcelona's round-of-16 opponent in the Champions League is AC Milan.
In Germany, Bayern's defensive statistics in the Bundesliga almost defy belief. In 21 games, it has conceded just seven goals, better than any team in Europe's top leagues and considerably better than Barcelona or United. The only team to beat Bayern in league play, Bayer Leverkusen, is also the only team to have scored more than one goal against its miserly defense, getting two in Munich in October.
But, again, because Bayern has so monopolized its league, European competition could be a truer test of Franck Ribery and his teammates. Certainly, it's the only way to measure their determination to avenge 2012, when Chelsea pickpocketed them in the final — at home in Munich, no less. Bayern plays Arsenal in the round of 16.
Of the three, the current United team most needs a European stamp of approval to prove its worth. Buying Robin van Persie from Arsenal last summer was great business for United. He and Wayne Rooney look like they have played together for years, not months. Madrid has to stick a wrench in the United's attacking partnership to reach the Champions League quarterfinals. United manager Alex Ferguson must blunt the goal-scoring menace from Cristiano Ronaldo, his former protege. Those and other plot-lines make this a cerebral match-up.
At the end of the season, it will almost certainly be United parading through Manchester with the Premier League trophy. If United's winning margin is as big or bigger than now, its achievement almost certainly won't seem as impressive as it actually is. That will be because of the sneaking suspicion that Manchester City made it too easy for United and surrendered the title it won last year without enough of a fight.
Ferguson's teams, sometimes unfairly, also suffer in comparison with each other. The list of illustrious names at United who made history with Ferguson and before is so long that newer players need to do something special to make their own big mark.
Something like being the team that stopped Madrid from winning a 10th European crown. Or that won United its fourth. There'd be no better proof of quality.

Thousands of Australian homes flooded by torrential rain, leaving 4 people dead

BRISBANE, Australia – Torrential rains have left thousands of homes flooded in eastern Australia, with more rain and high winds expected in Queensland and New South Wales.
The disaster has claimed four lives, including a 3-year-old boy who was hit by a falling tree in the Queensland state capital, Brisbane, the Australian Associated Press said Monday.
It said officials were preparing for another day of evacuations along the eastern coast, where hundreds of homes have been cut off by floodwaters.
State Emergency Services Deputy Commissioner Steve Pearce told the AAP that some areas in northern New South Wales had been hit by more than half a meter (about 20 inches) of rain, with more than 2,000 people isolated by floodwaters.
"We're expecting flash flooding, we're expecting trees to be brought down, wires to be brought down by these winds," Pearce said. "We're expecting a very challenging 24 hours in front of us."
Floodwaters have also cut off all roads between New South Wales and Queensland.
More than 2,000 homes are underwater in the worst-affected city of Bundaberg 385 kilometers (240 miles) to the north of Brisbane. The same area was hit by serious flooding two years ago, leaving 35 dead.
AAP said military helicopters with pilots using night vision equipment were being used to evacuate stranded residents.

The continuing saga of my lack of athletic ability.
I wrote about my dream of being a world class athlete before and followed that part of my story to the conclusion that I should be happy with my strengths, and I am. I talked then about my interest in tennis, which came along quite late in life and was relatively short lived. I enjoyed it, but at one point, broke my foot. That was right before I moved to Hawaii so that I arrived in paradise with a profound limp. I got over it. My foot was broken in a manner that there was nothing that could be done except to stay off of it as much as possible and allow it to heal.
It's not that I didn't try to develop some athletic skills earlier in my life. When I was old enough, my father took me to sign up for little league. I had never thrown a baseball, or caught one for that matter. Neither had I ever held a bat. This was where my dear father fell short. To be fair, he worked many hours every day, and I don't think I offered great raw material, but still, I would have been far better off to have at least held a bat at some point.
I was directed to take the bat and the pitcher would throw some pitches, which I was to hit. This was no beginning pitcher. Apparently, his father didn't work at all, but spent his whole life perfecting his son's pitching arm. I remember watching the wind up and, sure enough, the pitch was on the way. It looked like it was coming right at my head at an exceedingly fast speed. Well, I was smart enough to dodge my head so that the ball wouldn't hit me straight on. Unfortunately, this clever pitcher threw a curve ball at me, and I ducked squarely into the speeding ball, which hit me smack between my two front teeth. I know this because my tooth was broken, but I have no memory of the actual hit, because I was unconscious.
Later, we learned that not only did I have no experience at all with a baseball roaring toward me, but a routine eye check showed that I sported a left eye that was legally blind. The eye optometrist shared with my family that my perception would be off. Really? So we added glasses with a heavy left lens that tilted to that side of my face. That, coupled with my chipped tooth completed a look only a mother could love. I resigned myself to the fact that baseball would not be my strength, and my mother verified this by telling my father in no uncertain terms that I was done, finished with little league.
In the sixth grade, I was chosen as a patrol person. I'm not sure that any girls were named to such a position, and I think we were all called patrol boys, but in the interest of current political correctness, we'll say I was a patrol person. I felt really honored that I was chosen to wear the badge. There was even a kind of strap onto which the heavy official badge was pinned. I had a special street, and when kids on the way home from school would arrive at my corner, I would hold them until there were a few lined up ready to go across. I would go out into the crossing lane to make sure that the traffic stopped and wave the younger students across the street. It was a great feeling of power and achievement. I knew that they didn't pick just anyone to be on traffic patrol.
When spring came around, we had the chance to play softball after lunch, but patrol boys couldn't play because they were on traffic duty for the students who walked home for lunch. I turned in my badge and quit the one thing that brought me the most honor so that I could play softball. It had been a number of years since my little league experience, and I felt surely that I would enjoy this athletic opportunity. The day after I turned in my badge, the teacher in charge of patrol people announced that we would all go to a Cardinals game in St. Louis. What fun! Sadly, I had quit the day before to pursue my current athletic dream, so I was no longer eligible to attend, so I faced one more disappointment. It turned out that softball wasn't for me either.
A few years later, I decided I would try out for basketball. All I had to do was show up for practice in my gym clothes after school. Again, I had no experience with a basketball, but I felt secure in the knowledge that I would see it coming if it was headed for my other front tooth. Sadly, the coach was looking for stars. He lined everybody up to go through dribbling exercises, and then we shot baskets. I was pathetic at both. I had never held a basketball before, let alone aimed at a 10 foot high rim to make a shot. At the end of the first practice, the coach dismissed me. There was no mention of developing skills or anything like that. Apparently I wasn't even good enough to be the towel boy or equipment manager. This coach may have been a teacher during the day, but when after school activities kicked in, he was all coach and had no time for anyone without possibilities. I can't say that I really blame him. I knew I wasn't any good, but it felt pretty lousy to be dismissed with such nonchalance.
Later on in life, when I became a teacher, I learned that some coaches do actually care about those who are less skilled than others and, at the very least, give them a chance. On the other hand, some coaches care only about winning games, and I guess I understand that. I often heard conversations in the faculty lounge with coaches predicting a bad year because they "didn't have the horses." Well, in spite of my lack of success as an athlete, I really enjoyed competition, and my choirs fared extremely well when it came to competitive musical events. For me it had nothing to do with "having horses," but rather my goal involved teaching my students the skills to win. It was my job to make horses, and I did.
So if you don't see me on an outdoor basketball court in a pickup game with our president, it's really not my fault. I was willing to try.
A few years ago, I attended my high school class reunion. The majority of the former star athletes who attended were not sporting six pack abs. I'll never be an athlete, but I have my own skills, which have served me quite well.

Island species are under threat. Despite only making up about 3% of the Earth's land area, islands are home to about 20% of all species and 50% of endangered species.
Approximately 80% of all known extinctions have occurred on islands. One of the primary causes for extinction of island species is the presence of invasive species. Since 1994, the charitable organisation Island Conservation has fought to prevent these extinctions by removing invasive species from island ecosystems. Focusing on islands where the need is greatest, as biodiversity is concentrated and the rate of extinction is high, Island Conservation has deployed team members to 52 islands worldwide to protect 994 populations of 338 native species.
Once invasive species are removed, island ecosystems can often recover with little or no extra intervention. After the removal of invasive rats from Hawadax Island (formerly known as Rat Island), Alaska, bird species on the island increased dramatically and for the first time ever, breeding tufted puffins were documented on the island.
Working together with local communities, government management agencies and conservation organisations, Island Conservation enables many species to be brought back from the brink of extinction.
One such success story is the Anacapa Island Restoration Project. Invasive black rats on Anacapa Island, part of the Channel Islands Archipelago in California, were decimating native species populations, particularly the threatened Xantus's murrelet (now renamed Scripps's Murrelet),and the endemic Anacapa deer mouse. In 2001 and 2002, Island Conservation and partners removed invasive rats from Anacapa Island. Since the removal of the rats, the nesting success of Xantus's murrelet has increased by 90% and the Anacapa deer mice are thriving. In 2013, scientists documented the endangered ashy storm-petrel breeding on the island for the first time in history.
The removal of invasive species from island habitats has also led to the rediscovery of species once thought to be extinct. In 2011, Island Conservation and their partners removed invasive rats from Rábida Island, Galapagos to protect the native species. A return visit to the island two years later led to an unexpected discovery of a gecko species, known only from subfossil records, which was thought to be extinct.
To date, Island Conservation have recovered and protected 338 seabird nesting colonies and taken action to restore 52 islands from the most damaging invasive animals. With their continued work and the launch of Small Islands, Big Difference – a campaign which aims to save our world's most vulnerable species by removing invasive species from islands at an accelerated rate, many more island species can be rescued from extinction.
Over the next few weeks we will be sharing with you more about the great work that Island Conservation have carried out.

Sumter, S.C. – The No. 1 seed doubles pair of Alyssa Blanchard and Rachel Lemar took on all challengers with ease over the weekend, as the Lady Cobra pair won the Conference Carolinas Individual Championships at the Palmetto Tennis Center in Sumter, S.C.
Blanchard (Columbia, S.C.) and Lemar (London, England) won three straight matches to take the title winning 8-1, 8-4 and 8-2. The 8-2 win in the championship match was over the No.3 seed of Bignon and Rheault from Erskine College.
The championship marks the first Conference Carolinas Individual Championship that anyone at Coker, singles or doubles, has won.
In addition to the great play of Blanchard and Lemar, fellow Lady Cobras Kendall Sigmon (Hilton Head, S.C.) and Stephanie Medley (Sumter, S.C.) played exceptionally well in their doubles tournament. Sigmon and Medley were the No. 8 seed in the B Flight of the tournament and they advanced to the semifinals of the tournament before falling to the No. 4 seed of Brunet and Halbert from Anderson University, 8-1.
"This was a great tournament for our women," said Head Coach Alvin Cheng. "They played very well and it was really exciting to have Blanchard and Lemar win the first ever individual championship at Coker."
Now the Coker women and men prepare for their second tournament of the fall, the ITA Southeast Regional Tournament. The ITA Regional will also be held at the Palmetto Tennis Center, Sept. 18-21.

UK Thankfully Rejects Plans For New IP Czar With Mandate To 'Increase, Protect & Enforce'
from the good-move dept
Conservative Party peer Lord Jenkin of Roding had tabled an amendment to establish a new post of Director General of Intellectual Property Rights. The holder would have responsibility for promoting the creation of new intellectual property; protecting and promoting the interests of UK IP owners; coordinating effective enforcement of UK IP rights; and educating consumers on the nature and value of intellectual property.Note those four responsibilities. Increase "new" intellectual property (it's unclear if they mean laws or content itself...), protect IP owners, increase and coordinate enforcement and "educate" consumers. Notice that nowhere in there is any recognition that the supposed purpose of those laws is to benefit the public. It would seem a lot more reasonable that any such role should be about increasing the spread of knowledge, watching out for over-enforcement, protecting the interests of the public and educating IP owners on not abusing the law. But, apparently, that sort of thing is what governments are interested in these days.

Touch Panel PCs with LED Technology for hazardous areas
Polaris Touch Panel PCs with LED technology, by Bartec, are an innovative enhancement of the existing Polaris Panel PCs. Available in the sizes 5.7-in., 10.4-in. and 12.1-in., these devices have been designed for the comfortable handling of simple machines such as mixers, dryers or filling stations and for the control and supervision of complex machines such as reactors, centrifuges or ball mills. The devices have been designed for use in zone 1 + 2 as well as in zone 21 + 22. This allegedly guarantees the habitual PC comfort also in hazardous areas. The Panel PCs are reportedly especially suitable for use in the chemical, petrochemical and pharmaceutical industry.
The high-resolution displays with LED background illumination and touch-screen allow an intuitive and comfortable handling. Even with large viewing angles or under unfavorable light conditions, the new LED display technology supposedly guarantees an optimal contrast. The well-proven LX800 processor offers sufficient processing power to display HTML pages or to serve as a remote client. This allows high-performance visualization and handling of processes on site. For a higher processing power, a high-performance Intel Atom with 1.6 GHz together with Windows 7 Embedded is optionally available.
The latest visualization software for the Polaris series BMS Graf pro Runtime 7 enables the user to work under Windows XP Embedded, e.g. to transmit projects via Ethernet, to use graphic lists or to handle an integrated user management.
An intrinsically safe USB interface for USB Ex i-memory sticks is also included. In addition to that, an intrinsically safe mouse, a trackball and a touchpad can be connected.
Polaris devices are available in standard versions or in customized versions. They can also be delivered in a stainless steel casing.

Hello everybody!!I bought a LED stripes a month ago from this website www.lampadadiretta.it but I don't know how to use it.On this website the product is not anymore in the assortment and there are no information about this particular LED. It's a very good italian website for Philips lamps, full of informations but not on this product!Please help me!
I thought I'd better chime in on this as I recently read the post by "cranium" and took the chance myself based on that post. I ordered 15 meters of the same 5V RGB LED strip that you can find on Adafruit.com and got them for something like $13 per meter. I was a little concerned about the process since I'd never ordered from China before or used Western Union but it all went smoothly. Just tested them a minute ago and they work perfectly. This is not an add. Just wanted to say thanks and give others a little confidence in buying from the same place. Yay! Thanks. Here's where they have them listed: http://gree-leds.com/productshow.asp?ArticleID=TS7X2X7VTP
dreging up an old topic i know, but you never revealed where your got the raw 8806's from, I need a large amount for something that isn't really compatible with buying the strip lights

Uzhhorod (Ukrainian, Russian: Ужгород, Hungarian: Ungvár, German: Ushhorod) is a city in Western Ukraine, the administrative center of Zakarpatska Oblast (Transcarpthian Region). Its population is 120,000 people.
Uzhhorod is the administrative center of the youngest region in Ukraine - Transcarpathia, which was annexed to the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic in 1945. Until that it was part of Czechoslovakia and before 1919 it was Hungarian. The population of Uzhhorod is multiethnic. The nmajority of the natives are Ukrainian, but there are a lot of Russins (immigrated here after World War II), Hungarians, Slovaks, Germans, Jews and Gypsies. A foreigner has to be very patient with the natives, because some of them will be glad to help you, but some might like to make your life tougher. Anyway, Uzhhorod is a very interesting place to visit because the cultures cross here.
Get in
By plane
Uzhhorod has a very small airport (IATA code - UDJ). There are flights only to or from Kiev, Simferopol and Moscow. There are plans to close the airport in a few years.
By train
It is the easiest way to get to Uzhhorod by train from the direction of Budapest or Kiev. Uzhhorod has a very nice new railway station with restaurants, shops and even a small hotel. You will need to get on a taxi or a marshrutkato get to downtown.
By car
The newly renovated M06 highway connects Kiev with Budapest and runs through Uzhhorod. Driving from the direction of Budapest (Chop) you need to go straight after Rizivka through Mynay. If you Drive from the direction of Kiev (Mukachevo), you need to turn right after Rozivka. The road from Rizivka-Mynay will take you as far as Zakarpattia Hotel (the city's largest hotel) and then Petofi Square in downtown.
By bus
There are daily buses from the Hungarian Nyiregyhaza, from Slovakian Kosice, Michalovce, from Polish Krakow and from Kiev and Lviv.
Get around

***Today is my mother's birthday. She was born April 9, 1941 and she flew home to God on October 26, 1994. The day before she passed away, she promised my oldest brother, John that she would be waiting for him on the day of his death. A few years later, my brother, Jim was diagnosed with duodenal cancer. He fought it for 2 years and finally succumbed to it 9 years ago today at 1:00 AM on what would have been the celebration of Mom's 60th birthday. In the moments before Jim's passing, John stepped out of the room and talked to Mom in his heart. He said to her "That promise you made to me the day before you died, I want you to make it true for Jim right now." As I held Jim's hand, he looked at me with fear in his eyes. He wanted to fight for his life. His last words an hour earlier were "I don't want to die". But he was so tired and in so much pain. As John asked Mom to be there waiting for Jim, I believe God allowed her to come to us and embrace her son as he struggled his way out of this life's cocoon. John was coming back into the room when Jim began to fight for his last breath. John and I held Jim's hands and Dad placed his hand gently on Jim's leg as we watched his soul flutter away. This was the most painful moment my soul has ever experienced. It was more difficult than my mother's passing and even my husband's passing. I can't even say why, just that Jim was my brother and in a way, my childhood soul mate. He was the one who walked me home from my 1st day of kindergarten so I would not get lost. He was always there to help me find my way. As difficult as the moment of his death was, I treasure it. I can not imagine my life without it. When my life began, it was the 5 of us. And somehow, God saw fit to grant us the mercy that the 5 of us were there when Jim fluttered his wings and flew away.
Jim, I love you and I miss you. Please be there waiting for me when it is time for me to come out of this cocoon. How else will your little sister find her way home?

Cancer Compensation Programs for People Exposed to Radiation as Part of Nuclear Weapons Testing
Between 1945 and 1962, the United States tested nuclear weapons in the open air. Several other countries began above-ground nuclear testing during this time as well, with some continuing these tests up until 1980.
Most of the above-ground tests in the United States were done in the South Pacific and at the Nevada testing grounds, with a small number being done at the Trinity (New Mexico) and South Atlantic testing sites. Military maneuvers involving about 200,000 people were conducted as part of many of these tests. The tests exposed these people, as well as many others living in nearby areas, to different amounts of radiation. In addition, tens of thousands of uranium miners and workers at several nuclear weapons plant sites were exposed to radiation and other toxic substances.
There is little doubt that radiation exposure can cause cancer. This has become clear from studies of groups such as the survivors of the atomic blasts in Japan, where the risks of certain cancers such as leukemias and thyroid cancers were higher than normal, as well as from studies of people exposed to medical radiation and in some workplace settings. But it's often hard to estimate the likelihood that a person exposed to radiation will develop cancer as a result of being exposed. Many factors influence this risk, including the type, amount, and route of radiation exposure. For example, people can be exposed to radioactive elements internally if they inhale or ingest them, as well as being exposed to external radiation sources. In addition, when exposures have occurred many years in the past, it's often hard to know how much or what types of radiation exposure a person had.
Compensation for people who have been exposed to radiation
The US government has passed several laws to compensate military veterans, people who worked in the nuclear industry, and others exposed to radiation as part of nuclear testing programs who later develop certain types of cancer or other diseases.
Radiation Exposure Compensation Program
The Radiation Exposure Compensation Program is administered by the US Department of Justice. It provides payments to 3 groups of people:
Uranium miners, millers, and transporters
People who worked in these industries between 1942 and 1971 and who develop lung cancer, kidney cancer (in millers or transporters), or certain other conditions may be eligible for a lump sum payment of $100,000.
Onsite participants
People (including military personnel) who were present onsite during above-ground nuclear tests (at the Nevada, Trinity, Pacific, or South Atlantic test sites) and who later develop certain medical conditions may be entitled to a payment of $75,000. (Military personnel exposed to radiation at Hiroshima or Nagasaki are not eligible.)
The eligible conditions include cancers of the lung, thyroid, breast, esophagus, stomach, pharynx (throat), small intestine, pancreas, bile ducts, gallbladder, salivary gland, urinary bladder, brain, colon, ovary, and liver (unless related to cirrhosis or hepatitis B). Other cancers covered include leukemia (other than chronic lymphocytic leukemia), non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and multiple myeloma.
People who lived or worked downwind of above-ground nuclear tests in certain counties in Utah, Nevada, and Arizona for at least 2 years during certain periods between 1951 and 1962 and who later develop certain medical conditions may be entitled to a payment of $50,000. The eligible cancers are the same as those for onsite participants.
For a more complete list of eligibility requirements and information on how to file a claim, contact the Department of Justice Radiation Exposure Compensation Program at 1-800-729-7327 (1-800-729-RECP) or visit their website at www.justice.gov/civil/common/reca.html
Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program
The Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program (EEOICP) was established to provide lump-sum compensation and health benefits to eligible US Department of Energy (DOE) nuclear weapons workers (including employees, former employees, contractors and subcontractors) and related workers, or lump-sum payments to certain survivors if a worker is deceased. Uranium miners, millers, and transporters, and certain other workers are also eligible for the program.
The EEOICP mainly covers people who worked for the DOE, but the program itself is run by the US Department of Labor.
Under Part B of the program, the EEOICP provides up to $150,000 and payment of medical expenses for DOE employees and contractors who either:
- Developed cancer after working at certain DOE-related facilities, and the cancer is determined to be at least as likely as not related to that employment, or
- Worked in certain facilities for at least 250 days before February 1, 1992 and then developed certain types of cancer or other diseases. The diseases covered include those caused by exposure to radiation, beryllium (a toxic metal), or silica dust.
Employees or survivors who already received compensation under the Radiation Exposure Compensation Program may be eligible for up to an additional $50,000.
Under the newer Part E of the program, people who worked for contractors or subcontractors of DOE whose health is permanently impaired may be eligible for up to $250,000, as well as medical expenses. The list of toxic substances that can cause the impairment is also expanded.
Eligibility for the EEOICP is a bit more complicated than that for the Radiation Exposure Compensation Program. It is often determined on a case-by-case basis, taking into account factors such as how likely a specific cancer or other disease was caused by the individual person's exposures. Other agencies, such as National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), may help in making these determinations.
To learn more about the EEOICP or to get help filing a claim, contact the Department of Labor at 1-866-888-3322 or visit their website at www.dol.gov/owcp/energy.

India's Supreme Court yesterday rejected drugmaker Novartis AG's attempt to patent a new version of a cancer drug in a landmark decision that healthcare activists say ensures poor patients around the world would get continued access to cheap versions of lifesaving medicines.
Novartis had argued that it needed a new patent to protect its investment in the cancer drug Glivec, while activists said the company was trying to use loopholes to make more money out of a drug whose patent had expired.
The decision has global implications since India's US$26 billion generic drug industry supplies much of the cheap medicine used in the developing world.
The ruling sets a precedent that would prevent international pharmaceutical companies from obtaining fresh patents in India on updated versions of existing drugs, said Pratibha Singh, a lawyer for the Indian generic drug manufacturer Cipla, which makes a generic version of Glivec.
The court ruled that a patent could only be given to a new drug, she told reporters outside the court.
"Patents will be given only for genuine inventions, and repetitive patents will not be given for minor tweaks to an existing drug," Singh said.
Novartis yesterday condemned the court's decision, saying it "discourages future innovation."
Novartis called the ruling a "setback for patients," and said patent protection is crucial to fostering investment in research to develop new and better drugs.
"We brought this case because we strongly believe patents safeguard innovation and encourage medical progress," said Ranjit Shahani, vice chairman and managing director, Novartis India.
The ruling "will hinder medical progress for diseases without effective treatment options," he said.
The Swiss pharmaceutical giant has fought a legal battle in India since 2006 for a fresh patent for its leukemia drug Gleevec, known in India and Europe as Glivec.
India's patent office had rejected the company's patent application because it was not a new medicine, but an amended version of its earlier product. The patent authority cited a legal provision in India's 2005 patent law aimed at preventing companies from getting fresh patents for making only minor changes to existing medicines — a practice known as "evergreening."
Novartis appealed, arguing Glivec was a newer, more easily absorbed version of the drug that qualified for a fresh patent.
Anand Grover, a lawyer for the Cancer Patients Aid Association, which has taken the lead in the legal fight against Novartis, said the ruling prevented the watering down of India's patent laws.
"This is a very good day for cancer patients. It's the news we have been waiting for for seven long years," he said.
Aid groups, including Medicins San Frontieres, have opposed Novartis' case, fearing that a victory for the Swiss drugmaker would limit access to important medicines for millions of poor people around the world.
Gleevec costs about US$2,600 a month. Its generic version was available in India for about US$175 per month.
"The difference in price was huge. The generic version makes it affordable to so many more poor people, not just in India, but across the world," said Y.K. Sapru, of the Mumbai-based cancer patients association.
"For cancer sufferers, this ruling will mean the difference between life and death. Because the price at which it was available, and considering it's the only lifesaving drug for chronic myeloid cancer patients, this decision will make a huge difference," Sapru said.

Can anyone tell me about the Joyce Laying Camp? Before posing this question, I did an Internet search and found no references to it except when 1920 census records are mentioned. It appears to me what was written Joyce Loging Camp was transcribed Joyce Laying Camp. There is no category for submitting alternate information to Ancestry regarding this. Should I try? Suggestions???
My search also found a book, Winn Parish, part of the Images of America series published by Arcadia Publishing in June 2011. The picture of the cover was used with permission from the publisher. Information about the book states, "The majority of the images were donated from private collections and local residents."

So you've experienced a financial windfall and you don't know what to do with it. This is what we refer to as a "luxury problem," right?
Indeed, you'd think this would be the most glorious dilemma possible to befall you and your household. But for some, a windfall can be more of a curse than a blessing.

This is a behind the scenes look at Foundation's Matt Egan in action. Matt has shot several projects for fashion designer AGGA B recently and the footage from this particular shoot was for her Summer 2010 Collection. Click the picture below to view the footage.
Matt says of the experience, "Working with Agga or high end fashion in general is always an exciting and creative opportunity. Fashion pieces always call for dynamic, progressive concepts, with pristine captivating imagery. The editing and sound all have to be flawless and dovetail with the concept to complete that compelling feel . The final piece must project a hypnotic energy, a world that every viewer wants to dive into and make it their own. "
What I love about this footage is the sophisticated glamour of it. The colors are great and having seen Matt in action, I can honestly say that he is the king of versatility. He can shoot everything from gritty rodeo shows to sequin encrusted models! And what a team we have! It's easy to forget sometimes when we see these people every day, on every shoot- it's easy to overlook just how awesomely talented each one of them is! Good work, team!

The information provided here is meant to give you a general idea about each of the medications listed below. Only the most general side effects are included, so ask your doctor if you need to take any special precautions. Use each of these medications as recommended by your doctor, or according to the instructions provided. If you have further questions about usage or side effects, call your doctor.
If it is determined that you had an ischemic stroke within 4½ hours of the beginning of your symptoms, you may be treated with IV clot-busting medications designed to limit damage and possibly restore blood flow to the involved areas of your brain. If it is within approximately 6 hours of the onset of your symptoms, you may be treated with intra-arterial (IA) clot-busting medications. IAs are administered via a groin incision. A catheter is advanced to the clot where medications are given directly to the clot. (These therapies are not used for hemorrhagic strokes.)
Other medications are given after the immediate danger has passed to prevent a second stroke or manage potential damage. Medications may include:
Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA)
- Alteplase
- Heparin
- Warfarin
- Dabigatran
- Aspirin
- Clopidogrel
- Aspirin and dipyridamole
Recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator (rt-PA)
Common name: Alteplase
Rt-PA is used for treating ischemic stroke. Other clot-busters are used for treating heart attacks and blood clots in other organs. These drugs dissolve the chemicals that hold blood clots together. Therefore, these drugs must be used in only the right circumstances and must be carefully controlled.
Possible side effects include:
- Intracranial hemorrhage or bleeding from other fragile areas, such as stomach ulcers or recent surgical sites
- Allergic reactions (rarely)
Common names include:
- Heparin
- Warfarin
- Dabigatran
- Rivaroxaban
- Apixaban
These drugs prevent blood from clotting, rather than dissolving a clot after it has formed. Therefore, they are used to prevent another stroke. In some cases, anticoagulants are used to prevent a first stroke if a person is at high risk. These drugs may be used if the cause of the stroke or risk factor for having a stroke is atrial fibrillation or heart valve disease.
Given by injection, heparin works immediately to prevent blood clotting. If there is a risk of bleeding from an infected area or a large brain-damaged area, this medication may not be used.
Possible side effects include:
- Bleeding
- Allergic reactions
- Too few platelets— thrombocytopenia
Warfarin prevents formation of a blood-clotting factor by interfering with vitamin K metabolism. It takes several days to have an effect. Warfarin is frequently given along with heparin. The heparin is discontinued when the warfarin is fully active. Warfarin can be taken by mouth. But, it must be controlled within very close limits to prevent unwanted bleeding.
The dose of warfarin varies widely and is regulated by frequent blood tests that check on clotting ability. These tests are done at least weekly at the beginning of treatment. This is because there are so many interactions that can change its effect. Warfarin decreases the recurrence rate of embolic stroke in people with atrial fibrillation, which is a common cause of embolic stroke.
Possible side effects include:
- Bleeding
- Nausea
- Rash
Dabigatran is a medication that helps to prevent blood clots. It can be taken by mouth and does not require frequent blood tests.
Possible side effects include:
- Bleeding
- Nausea, stomach pain, or bloating
- Rash
Rivaraoxaban is a medication used to decrease the risk of strokes in people with irregular heartbeat known as non-valvular atrial fibrillation.
Possible side effects include bleeding.
Apixaban is a medication used to decrease the risk of strokes in people with irregular heartbeat known as non-valvular atrial fibrillation.
Possible side effects include bleeding.
Antiplatelet Therapy
Common names include:
- Aspirin
- Clopidogrel
- Aspirin and dipyridamole
Aspirin, in addition to its pain-relieving effect, decreases blood clotting by affecting platelets. This medication is able to reduce recurring heart attacks by about 25%. Its effect on embolic stroke is about the same.
Possible side effects include:
- Bleeding
- Stomach irritation and bleeding
- Occasional allergic reactions
This medication is used to reduce risk of stroke in people who have had transient ischemia attacks (TIA) or a prior stroke due to blood clots. Dipyridamole may be more effective than aspirin alone. Side effects include:
- Headache
- Stomach pain, heartburn
- Nausea or vomiting
- Diarrhea
Clopidogrel is used to prevent heart attack and stroke. Clopidogrel can be used in people who cannot take aspirin or who have a coronary stent . Possible side effects include:
- Lightheadedness
- Flu-like symptoms
- Stomach pain, heartburn
- Nausea or vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Headache
Nerve-protecting drugs help prevent additional nerve-cell damage caused by the chemicals released from dying brain cells. These drugs are promising, but not yet routinely used because they are still being tested. One example is minocycline, a commonly prescribed antibiotic. It may help to improve function when given after a stroke.
In treating stroke, doctors may give you other drugs as needed to:
- Control blood pressure
- Control blood sugar levels
- Correct heart arrhythmias
Special Considerations

I went there and made a point of checking for it after reading about the upcoming release of their ebook reader on the H. Medion is known for producing pretty good value products (at least every once in a while) and so I was curious. But the representatives could neither show it to me (only to VIPs), nor would they tell me anything about it - not the price, estimated release date, etc. Hence I doubt there will be any sort of release from Medion anytime soon. And with everyone else showing off their devices it was not very convincing. Some of the ones I liked best were the iriver with a nice touch screen but no web browser and vague battery times (11000 pages) and some of the Sony ebook readers (there was one of them with a very bad resolution unfomfortable to read, though). It was actually the first time I saw an ebook reader, though and I really thought - hey is that just an empty sample with something printed on a plastic foil? No it wasn't I found out as it reacted to my finger touching it.
All in all the IFA is quite interesting and it's wonderful to see all the upcoming 3D TVs and their technologies. By far my favorite was a head tracking 3D display at the Heise (the H) stand 124 in hall 17 - no glasses needed but amazingly great results. Most other 3D TVs either needed glasses or had pretty disappointing results. Also impressive were the LG HDTVs - brilliant, crisp colors.

The history-making 'Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol'Sider
NBC made television history on Dec. 18, 1962, when it premiered the first made-for-TV animated holiday special, "Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol." The myopic bumbler Magoo, voiced by the memorable Jim Backus, starred in 43 comedy cartoons for UPA Studios between 1949 and 1959. But in this musical version of Charles Dickens' tale, Magoo shows his dramatic chops as Ebenezer Scrooge. The special features a lovely score by Broadway vets Jule Styne and Bob Merrill, which includes the song "Alone in the World." Jack Cassidy, Jean Kean and Paul Frees also lent their talents to the project. A collector's edition is available on DVD and Blu-ray.

Rosy thoughts & ameliorations
So, a kindly reader of this blog has asked me via private correspondence why I gave no mention of my rank in the world of wine bloggism.
Here goes, then.
Google's Top 100 Wine Blogs shows that Sharon's Wine Blog* is #6 and is the first "independent" on the list.
So, now that I have acceded to such rare heights, I would like to inquire of my readers what thoughts they may have about my blog's current format and structure.
Suggestions for improvements? Exhortations to stay the same? Bottles to send my way, just 'cause?
Thanks to all of you for reading me and following me in my vinous exploits and explorations, in any case. You are the best.

Why in the world would you mess with a good thing? And what do we know about blogs, anyway?

In truth, I have to be a little suspicious of methodology that does not turn up Joe Dressner's blog in the top 100.
Not that he'd be close to #6 or anything, natch.

I really enjoy your blog, the style, the writing, the pictures and the warmth with which you share your wine notes...very human and relatable. I read each story with interest, (and envy) and look forward to the next.

Dear Sharon,
every 2 - 3 weeks I visit your 2 blogs (english and french),
as I do with all my favourite blogs
- Growers: Iris Lisson in Langudoc, my champenois friends Tarlant, Chartogne and Laherte, other regions Champs des Treilles, Vin Dubrey, in order to know the news about the growing in the vineyards, the wine-making in the cellars ... and more.
- Some wine-enthusiasts or wine-writers-journalists as italian Aristide and Lizzy, other english and american Peter Liem, Brooklyn Guy, the australian Champagne Evangelist - Victor P., le Blog d'Olif, Méchant Raisin, ... some others and yours.
In order to know more about their favourites wines, ... the life-style, their thoughts about the wine-world and their own wine-world.
It's a nice window on the wine-world and people.
By the way,
If we do :
''Google top 100 vin blogs ...''
on the search engine ...
unfortunatly there is no reply,
not at all result.... nothiing !
I am understanding, that for speaking about du Vin / Wine,
it's necessary to speak english.
Google do not understand the french language about wine // vin.
As you are understanding,
this example,
again it's a good reason to visit blogs as yours and others...
in order to know more about the vine-growing, wine-making, trade,
rules ... and more ... all about the Wine-World.
All the Best,
Bien amicalement,

Miss Sharon, you're absolutely my favourite blogger. How I wish I could spend a week drinking through France with you! Your insights and tastes are extraordinary, and I've learned more about Champagne from reading your blog than anywhere else.
Please keep up the fantastic work, and please never stop writing!

I think it is the combination of two seductions, wine and women. Descriptions of wine at best are veiled, and the crescent views of your face, never close to full on, leave the reader and viewer, desperately wondering what the full experience would be like, to the mouth and to the eye.

Elkoss Dominion
|Fascist Republik
|Tek Level 4.5 (Formerly 6)
|Central Region of Elkoss Major, Capital:Sunnyvale
|None listed
|New Republic, MOTA, Trianglists, Techons, Tree People, Peaches
|Notable People
|Zennek, Radek, Dominion Council, Dominion Army Command
Centered at it's capital of Sunnyvale, The Dominion occupies the central territories of Elkoss Major, the planet's largest Continent. Few Citizens of Elkoss even remember the name of their shattered world, and thus the name "Elkoss, or Elkossian" is very Seldom used, Elkossian Dominion is simply the Faction's Formal name, It is Usually referred to as simply the Dominion. Other known abbreviations of the faction are the EKD and EKDM, *Elkossian Dominion
The Dominion Contins much of the old country's Military heritage it is Effectively the Remnants of the Elkossian Government. However in the new post-collapse world. The Dominion and it's Leadership is obsessed with Control, Order, and Military Expansionism, Outsiders dismiss the Dominion as nothing more than a Bloated harem. As when it was founded, it functioned with a number of Councillors, But Now it has a single self proclaimed Chancellor at the head of it which often renders the Council useless. They aim to create a post-collapse Utopia, But will use every asset of Authoritarian Brutality at it's disposal to repel it's enemies, and keep it's minifig populace productive and obedient.
Every fig has a duty to the Dominion and it's leadership, Figs work long hours in various extraction and production facilities, whether it be food, fuel, weapons, or luxuries. And are constantly Scavenging and Salvaging the badlands. Religion is looked down upon and in some cases outright banned as the Government claims "There are no Gods, No Triangle Gods, No Humans, No Brikthulus, and certainly no Aliens or Otherworldly figs in the Brikverse, if there was a God, he was atomized when this world killed itself*
The Dominion is run by Zennek, Or Chancellor Zennek as his people call him. While the Dominion's Council is technically Second in Command, Colonel Radek of the Dominion Army is considered the Chancellor's Right hand and subsequently his Fist. The Dominion Council consists of Zennek, Radek, and four Others. The Civics Director, Industrial and Economical Director, Research and Development Director, and the High General of the Army. While the EDAC *Army Command* Consists of roughly a dozen Officers and Commanders. Some Carrying over from the High Council.
The Dominion maintains a fierce Rivalry with it's northern neighbors, The Elkossian New Republic, Both claim to be the successor to the old government, both maintain sizeable armies, And both have very different views on goverance. If not for both States constantly being at war with their other neighbors, the EKD and EKNR Would be in a constant state of war.
The Anarchist Savage Cultists of the Minifigs of the Apocalpse on the EKDA's northeast borders Constantly harass and raid Dominion Fringe communities, But tend to target the ENR more.
The Religious Fanatics of the Great Triangle Society to the south have also been a thorn in the side *or arse* of the Dominion, The Dominion's views on Religion make the GTS an Idealistic Enemy. Whereas the Dominions behaivor is seen as the Ultimate Blasphemy by the Trianglists, who have declared Eternal Holy War on them. The Trianglists however were never a true Military Power, and are quickly losing their territory to the Juggernaut, Resorting to a war of insurgency and terrorism
Across the Bay, The Techon Soverignty has had little contact with the Dominion, but what little there was has been hostile, The Dominion views the Techons as a bunch of Crazies who get off to lasers and lights, whereas the Techons view the Dominion as Unenlightened Simpletons ruled by a Despot. Because of the Sea between them, and the overall lack of servicable watercraft, The Sovereignty and Dominion rarley meet
The Dominion is also in Conflict with a number of Minor Powers, Most notably the droves of Peach Remnants that still roam around to the east All in all, The Dominion has no friends, It never did, it annexes and conquers. It does not aim to make friends, It assimilates.
The Dominion places heavy emphasis on Military power, no known post-collapse power can match it in brute strength or numbers. The Dominion Army is Organized, Professional, yet conventional. It's Primary doctrine is Brute Strength through Heavy armor and Overwhelming Numbers. The sheer weight of the Dominion's Military power has ended many wars with neighboring autonomous regions, before they even started.
The EDA *Elkossian Dominion Army* breaks itself into Two Arms, The Ground Forces and the Mechanized Forces
The Ground Forces are the Foot Soldiers, Which itself is divided into a number of Sections.
Infantry - Troopers, Advanced Troopers,and Shock Troopers - The general purpose infantry of the army. Their roles are simple,and To kill the enemy, overwhelm and overtake their positions Rifles - Heavy Riflemen, and Marksmen - The Long Range heavy hitters, Combining the roles of Designated Marksmen and Heavy Infantry, they bring their big guns to bear on the enemy while backing up the others Specialists - Light Infantry, Saboteurs, and Heavy Weapon Operators - Combat Medics, Demomen and Big toughguys with Big guns, The Specialists Fill a number of Combat Support roles as they are needed on the Field Special Purpose - Chem Troopers, Commandos, And other Special Units - Special Purpose units that act outside the regular army.
The Mechanized Forces operate the Vehicles and Combat drones of the Army. Everything from the measly MG Drones to the Super Heavy Battle tanks. The Dominion is the only Power on Elkoss that fields, and can maintain to field, Manned Battletanks, Other Factions use their limited numbers of Armor as needed, or opt for a Drone Platform for a Tank instead.

Kiarra Freeman and Jennifer Givens continue to pace the Tigers offense from the top. One point separates the two in batting average at .370 and .369, respectively. Givens tops the team with a .434 on base percentage, 24 runs and 21 stolen bases. Freeman is right behind Givens with 21 runs and 13 swipes.

Patch Day
This week seemed to be the week for the patching of holes. There has been a number of security vulnerabilities discovered as of late, forcing companies like Microsoft and Intel to fix the problems. So, I thought I would take some time this week and inform everyone of some important downloads that could play a major role in keeping you and your system safe.
Microsoft's Monthly Update
First on the list, our old friend, Windows Scheduled Update. Though it's Wednesday and I don't seem to have the download yet, Microsoft has ensured that the August 8th update would be released on time to mend some vulnerabilities of its own. Though not many details have been released as of yet, concerning the specifics of the download, what little information I did get makes this look like a very important update.
There are ten updates for the Windows operating system and two for MS Office this month. Two of the Windows OS updates and one of the MS Office updates have a severity level of critical. This is Microsoft's highest level of threat, which really makes it imperative that you update Windows. These updates should immediately be downloaded and installed to ensure you system's security and integrity.
You can run a Windows update manually from the All Programs list, which is also a good way to see if you have your system up-to-date. You can also use the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer, which can also detect what updates your system needs and where to go in order to acquire these fixes.
There is also an update for the Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool. This will also have an update this week, but don't plan on Windows' update service to take care of it for you. You have to go get this one on your own.
Intel Centrino Patch
Well, it's not everyday you see an update from one of the largest chipmakers in the world, so it's a good idea to take it seriously. According to sources, the Intel Centrino Mobile platform that has been a very popular component for laptops over the past couple of years. It has run across some problems though. There have been three flaws to be exact. One affects the PRO/Wireless Network Connection software and two deal with the hardware side of it.
According to Intel, the vulnerabilities actually stem from Microsoft's drivers and if exploited, could potentially give the attacker kernel level privileges or even authentication credentials. If exploited, the PC then becomes an enabler of the attack, attempting to infect other PCs in the wireless network by passing along the exploit.
With Intel being proactive in the whole turn of affairs, they have issued a fix for the three flaws. They strongly recommend that you download them, with one exception. Intel advises all laptop owners who will need this update to check with the manufacturer of their device first. The reason is, because the manufacturer may have their own modified fix for their system to stop any known conflict or other problem with the update.
You can verify you version of the PRO/Wireless Network Connection drivers here.
The downloadable update from Intel can be downloaded here.
So, there's a couple of beauties for you. Make sure you have all of the updates you need for your system. It will help keep it secure and running smooth.
Until next week, stay safe out there!

AP Music Writer
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - The publicist for country music star Randy Travis says the singer is out of surgery following a stroke and remains in critical condition in a Texas hospital.
Doctors performed surgery following a stroke to relieve pressure on Travis' brain Wednesday evening, just hours after they had noted improvement in his condition.
There was no other word on Travis' condition late Wednesday. He is being treated at The Heart Hospital Baylor Plano. Webster asked for prayers for the Grammy Award-winning singer earlier in the evening.
It was not clear what kind of stroke Travis suffered. He was hospitalized Sunday after a respiratory illness spread to his heart, leading to congestive heart failure.
