PORTSMOUTH — She stared at a small bathroom wastebasket full of her long, curly, red hair.
Editor's Note: This is the last of a series of feature Sunday articles, highlighting October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
PORTSMOUTH — She stared at a small bathroom wastebasket full of her long, curly, red hair.
"It was horrifying to have handfuls of your own hair," Terri Way said, "I was scared. I didn't want to look in the mirror."
The Portsmouth resident was only 30 years old when diagnosed with breast cancer, living in New England with her family members half-way across the country.
The hardest part, Terri says, was not hearing the diagnosis, or having nausea from chemotherapy treatments, or even her multiple surgeries — it was shaving her head.
"I started losing my hair two weeks to the day after my first chemo treatment," she said, "It was the first time I looked like a patient. Once you shave your head you have that classic 'chemo look.'"
Bucket list waits
While doing a routine monthly self-breast exam in the shower, Terri felt a lump. Being proactive on women's health, the more she checked, the more she realized something was wrong.
"In your 20s and 30s you don't think about (breast cancer). You don't think it's going to be you," she said realistically.
Upon recently making a 'bucket list' of things to do during year 30, thinking she had her whole life ahead of her, questions circled Terri's mind; like ''What about fertility?,' and 'How will chemo make me feel?'
Terri's genetic rap sheet was clear of breast cancer.
"Why me?" she questioned, knowing some cases of breast cancer are genetic.
After a biopsy, the doctor called Terri saying she needed to come in the next day — not, "Lets book something in three weeks."
"I knew it was coming," she said, "You don't get that call and think it's nothing."
Making the call
Terri says the whole day was a blur.
She remembers sitting alone in the waiting room, awaiting the news. With the office closing up and secretaries shuffling around preparing to go home to their families, Terri was the last appointment of the day. That was when the surgeon told her she, indeed, had breast cancer.
"The harder part was calling my family and friends and people who didn't even know I was getting tested," Terri explained. Most of her family lives thousands of miles away and needed to put their trust in her to be honest about how she really felt.
"I think it was harder on my parents than it was on me," she says, "They were always concerned, not being able to see me all the time."
Terri is single, has no children and lives in the Northeast on her own.
Feeling blessed, she says, her parents came to all three of her surgeries and family and friends were at every chemotherapy treatment.
After undergoing a single-sided mastectomy, Terri says, the expander put in place of her breast tissue was hard and uncomfortable. Thankfully, it was replaced with a more natural silicone implant late this summer.
"When you look in the mirror, it's not all that different," she laughs and says, "Well, except that I don't have a nipple."
After Terri's implant was put into place, she says she feels more "normal" again and is better able to look forward.
A change in me
"I've become a much stronger person that I thought I was," says Terri, "I cherish the relationships I have much more now (than I did before) and, the friends I didn't realize were such good friends."
While engulfed in a journey that a 30-year-old wouldn't typically predict, Terri documented her story. Every chemo treatment and monumental moment is remembered with a photo and a short blog entry, which she turned into a breast cancer scrapbook.
While turning the pages of her scrapbook and watching the photos transform a youthful, thick haired young woman, to a tired and sunken-eyed patient, Terri explained her year-long road. Looking over it with gleaming blue eyes, short brown hair, and millions of warm freckles, she appeared happy and relieved it was all over.
"I've always been a fairly positive person. It's never really been an issue to try to take advantage of what I have," she explained.
In the photos taped, glued and intricately displayed inside her breast cancer scrapbook, Terri still had light behind her eyes, and a soft smile. The images depict — what some may think as contradictory — a busy life of a cancer patient. She modeled in survivor fashion shows, attended galas, and walked for awareness while her team wore shirts stating "Save Second Base."
"It's amazing to look back and think, 'I did a lot!' I was supposed to be sick," claimed Terri.
Who budgets for cancer?
Though Terri says she had moments where the cancer "got her," she never felt hopeless.
"Sometimes I was like, 'Gosh, this sucks.' But, I never had self pity" she explained, "It was more like, as a young adult, this was not how I envisioned my life. I didn't budget for cancer. You know?"
Thankfully, despite her $50 co-pays at most appointments, several times per week, an organization called My Breast Cancer Support, helped her tremendously with her financial burden.
The nonprofit organization offers financial support to breast cancer patients through gifts like grocery cards, tickets to the movie theater and restaurant gift certificates. However, Terri says, it's the emotional health they focus on that means the most, making sure she feels as "normal" as possible.
When her family came to visit during treatments or surgeries, she was able to take them to dinner, de-stress and enjoy their company, she said.
Like a sorority
The bonds Terri formed during her breast cancer journey are irreplaceable and she still stops in to see her oncology nurses, also known as her "chemo moms," on a regular basis. She says without her family nearby, she has become incredibly close with them and they're the closest thing to it.
An important lesson the nurses during her breast cancer treatments taught her, she says, was to feel her feelings and never put on a show and fake feeling well.
A triumphant year has passed, holding many hard memories, and Terri's optimistic attitude is unwavering.
"It's like a sorority. You automatically have something in common with all of these women, and whether you're 30- or 70-years-old it doesn't matter," she said conclusively, "At the end we're all surviving it."

Czech and US beers are vying to win over Kiwi drinkers, writes Don Kavanagh.
I've always had an issue with Budweiser, the beer synonymous with all things American.
It styles itself "The King of Beers" in that understated way so beloved of American business, and there are few more globe-buggeringly big brands in the beer market.
But King of Beers?
That's harder to swallow than Bud Light and leaves a far more bitter aftertaste than Budweiser ever could manage to.
It's not that the beer is bad, it's just that that level of hubris always annoys me.
I've had Budweiser on and off over the past 25 years or so, in various places and in many guises. When I was young a few pints of Bud were handy on a shaky Sunday after a hefty weekend's intake of soothing libations.
Two pints of Bud and the body was feeling much more human so the Guinness could be safely approached.
I've also had it in the US and even some of the locals looked askance at me when I ordered it, although that was in Texas, where Lone Star ruled the bars.
All in all, Bud's a light, easy to drink lager, without major faults - apart from the use of rice in the brewing process, which drops quite a bit of bodyweight out of it - but without any major attractions either.
It's also famous for a lawsuit some years ago against a Czech beer, which called itself - as it had every right to do - Budejovicky Budvar. The name came from the town in which it was made and Budweiser was the German word meaning "from Budejovicke", or Budweis as the Germans called it.
The legal wrangling began in 1907 and continues today, but what is more important is that Budejovicky Budvar is now on the shelves here, in New Zealand, which gives people the chance to try it and see what genuine Czech lager tastes like.
There have been other Czech beers here, notably the wonderful Pilsner Urquell, but this is a great addition to the shelves in time for summer.
It's also a nice chance to try a decent European lager that is still brewed in its hometown, rather than produced under license elsewhere around the world.
If the American Budweiser is the King of Beers then this beer is the angry republican mob coming to eject the royal family and burn down the palace, and I love that it's here.
Grab a few of each and see which one you think is the better beer.

Want to buy HIE technology? It'll cost you. But more importantly, you'll still be dealing with a bewildering array of choices, if a new report from KLAS has it right.
According to KLAS, which asked 95 providers about their HIE buying plans, there were a few clear leaders in the field. Providers surveyed by KLAS reviewed 38 HIE vendor offerings. Of those, five HIE vendors were considered in more than 10 percent of the providers' buying plans, researchers found.
If there was a clear leader, it was Medicity, which was considered in 23 percent of HIE buying decisions, according to a report from Healthcare IT News. Next was Axolotl, with 22 percent; RelayHealth, with 16 percent; ICA, with 11 percent, and Epic, also with 11 percent. (Note: Epic was only being considered seriously when providers want to tie together multiple Epic installations.)
Looked at another way — by vendors mentioned most frequently by providers — the leaders were Axolotl, Cerner, dbMotion (part owned by the University of Pittburgh Medical Center), Epic, GE, ICA, InterSystems, Medicity, Orion and RelayHealth.
If you want to really fit the HIE to your situation, consider the following criteria, the HIN story suggests:
- Public HIEs – A public exchange may belong to official state agencies or may be semi-independent with direct and typically temporary government backing. Public HIEs demand solutions with strong potential scalability and need standards-based technology.
- Cooperative HIEs – In this model, otherwise-competitive hospitals work together to form independent HIE organizations, generally with an open invitation to other hospitals, clinics and physician practices. These HIEs often struggle to establish long-term funding and look for vendor solutions that offer flexible and affordable cost alternatives while best adapting diverse EMR technologies.
- Private HIEs – In some respects, private HIEs are designed to enhance relationships as well as exchange data. Often, a single hospital or IDN creates an HIE hoping to draw in community physicians while protecting or increasing revenues. Funding is less complicated and these HIEs are more likely to be satisfied with solutions that best work with their existing technology.
The truth is, though, that whatever model best fits your HIE purchase, narrowing things down to your short-list isn't as easy as just picking from KLAS's top contenders. Even these leaders have a moderate to tenuous grip on the market, and may or may not have the solution that fits your model. (Note: I'm familiar with Axolotl and Orion, both of which have what may be some of the longest-deployed tech out there, but I can't vouch that they're exactly better than anyone else.)
If it were me, I'd look at lesser-known, strongly-backed folks focused directly on the problem. Then, I'd do a co-development program with them so both win. Got other ideas to share readers?

You may recall that multi-hued hair chameleon and singer Katy Perry was recently embroiled in a lawsuit with the company ghd (Good Hair Day), which dropped her contract because she's supposedly just not that popular anymore.
Katy sued — and now we know she won.
Katy claimed that ghd backed out of an oral agreement to pay her $2 million for a two-year extension on her ghd endorsement deal.
ghd said this was false and sued her, claiming she had a "significant decrease in appeal across Europe" and furthermore her image was "increasingly polarizing … with negative perceptions in all markets" — hence the company's decision to drop her.
According to TMZ, the suit and Katy's counter-suit were settled with ghd receiving nothing, and Katy being paid "a significant amount of money."
In other words, the rich got richer.
How's your Monday?

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A comprehensive high blood pressure program at one California health system led to a near doubling in the proportion of patients who had their blood pressure under control, according to a new study.
After the program was launched at Kaiser Permanente Northern California in 2001, the share of people with hypertension whose most recent blood pressure reading was in line with guidelines went from 44 percent to 80 percent by 2009.
"I think there are many parts of this program that would likely be applicable in other primary care settings," Dr. Marc Jaffe, an endocrinologist at Kaiser Permanente South San Francisco Medical Center and the study's lead author, said.
About one in three U.S. adults has hypertension, according to the National Institutes of Health. The goal of treatment is to get blood pressure below 140/90 millimeters of mercury (mmHg).
Jaffe said that in the early 2000s, at Kaiser and elsewhere, "the hypertension control had a lot to be desired."
As part of a program to address that, Kaiser Permanente Northern California set up a registry of all hypertension patients covered by the health system.
Doctors were given regularly updated evidence-based guidelines on blood pressure medicines that included which drugs to try first and sequential treatment alternatives if the initial treatment didn't work. In 2005, a combination drug offered in a single pill was added to that list.
Starting in 2007, all patients were offered a follow-up visit with a medical assistant a few weeks after their medications were adjusted, with no co-pay.
The number of patients with a diagnosis of hypertension grew from about 350,000 to 653,000 during the study period.
The researchers found that while blood pressure control increased significantly in their health system over that span, national rates of control improved more slowly: from 55 percent in 2001 to 64 percent in 2009, according to findings published Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
"Since the end of the study, the hypertension control rates (at Kaiser) have continued to improve," Jaffe told Reuters Health.
"And as of 2011, our control rates were as high as 87 percent."
Hypertension researcher Dr. Brent Egan, from the Greenville Health System in South Carolina, said one of the key elements of the Kaiser program is bringing patients back quickly after a change in medication - and at no cost - to see if the adjustment was helpful.
"At a lot of practices, that's not part of their standard care. Sometimes three months or more go by from changing medication to follow-up," Egan, who wasn't involved in the new study, told Reuters Health.
What's more, he added, "There's pretty good evidence that engaging a broader healthcare team is one of the more effective strategies for (achieving) blood pressure control."
Jaffe said it's hard to estimate just how much the program cost to implement, and a cost-benefit analysis was not one of the goals of the study. But he thinks the impact of improved blood pressure control has been widespread.
"During that same period of time in our organization, we observed a reduction in heart attacks by 24 percent … and fatal strokes dropping by 42 percent," Jaffe said.
"I believe that they're related."
Egan said he encourages patients to monitor their own blood pressure at home and report back to him. He said that encourages people to take their medication, and can signal when a change in regimen is needed.
"These are things individuals can do pretty much irrespective of what health system they're in," he said.

SAINTE-JULIE, Quebec — Esteban Toledo won the Montreal Championship on Sunday for his second Champions Tour victory of the season, chipping in for birdie to beat Kenny Perry on the third extra hole.
The 50-year-old Toledo won the Insperity Championship in May in Texas to become the first Mexican winner in Champions Tour history. He also won that event on the third hole of a playoff, topping Mike Goodes with a par.
Toledo shot a 3-under 69 to match Perry at 5-under 211 on La Vallee du Richelieu's Rouville Course. Perry, the Senior Players Championship and U.S. Senior Open winner in consecutive tour starts this summer, had a 70.
Toledo, a former boxer, swung his fist after he chipped in for the birdie.
"I always celebrate with a left hook," Toledo said.
Perry had a chance for force another hole, but his long putt was wide left.
"When Kenny missed the putt on the third playoff hole I was shocked, really," Toledo said. "I know it was a 20-footer, but it was makeable to tie me."
They each parred the par-4 18th twice in the playoff, and Toledo won on the par-3 10th.
"I really like Esteban," Perry said. "He's a talented kid. He works hard and I was very proud of him. That was a great shot. I said, 'One of us needs to make a birdie.' Bad for me, but good for Esteban. Great job."
Perry used a cart throughout the final round because of pain in his back and right heel.
"I was just fighting through it," Perry said. "I was just trying to finish. I came all the way up here to finish and my goal was to play 54 holes. I actually played very nicely. I drove the ball beautifully. I drove it better today than I've driven it all week. There is something to be said about the wounded guy. I guess I was more in control, more in reserve, not trying to swing so hard at it."
Duffy Waldorf was a stroke back after a 70.
Bernhard Langer, three strokes ahead entering the round, had a 75 to tie for fourth at 3 under with David Frost, Michael Allen and Anders Forsbrand. Frost had a 70, Allen shot 71, and Forsbrand had a 72.
The 5-under total was the highest winning 54-hole score on the tour since 2008, when Jerry Pate shot 5 under to win the Turtle Bay Championship in Hawaii.

Debt Relief USA to Pay Georgia Consumers Over $500,000 in Refunds
Atlanta, GA - Joe Doyle, Administrator of the Governor's Office of Consumer Affairs (OCA), announced that the agency has entered into a settlement with Debt Relief USA, Inc., a debt adjustment company, over allegations that it violated Georgia's Debt Adjustment Act. The company agreed to refund all fees it has received from its Georgia clients, a total of $527,205.55, reimburse OCA for administrative expenses in the amount of $40,000, and to cease doing business in Georgia until it changes its business practices to comply with Georgia law.
OCA alleges that Debt Relief USA, Inc. violated each of the three major provisions of Georgia's Debt Adjustment Act:
- Debt adjustment companies cannot legally charge Georgia consumers more than 7.5 percent of the amount the consumer deposits with the debt adjustment company each month for distribution to his or her creditors. Debt Relief USA, Inc. allegedly charged debtors "administrative fees", "monthly maintenance fees", and "negotiation fees", none of which was part of the amount distributed to creditors each month.
- Georgia law also requires that all funds that debt adjustment companies accept from consumers (minus the authorized fees described above) must be provided to the consumer's creditors within 30 days of receipt from the consumer, another alleged violation.
- Finally, debt adjustment companies must maintain a separate trust account for customer funds and specific insurance coverage to protect consumers. Copies of these audits and insurance policies must be filed annually with the Governor's Office of Consumer Affairs. Debt Relief USA, Inc. failed to comply with these provisions as well.
"OCA is committed to ensuring that consumers receive the benefit of the protections that are contained in Georgia's Debt Adjustment Act," stresses Mr. Doyle. "This office will aggressively pursue companies that do not comply with the statute."
The Governor's Office of Consumer Affairs offers the following suggestions to consumers who are looking for a reputable debt adjustment company:
- Contact the National Foundation for Credit Counseling at 1-800-388-2227 / www.nfcc.org
- Check with the Better Business Bureau – www.bbb.org – to see if there are any unresolved complaints against the company
- Contact the Governor's Office of Consumer Affairs at 404-651-8600 or 800-869-1123 to ensure that the company has filed the necessary audit and insurance documents, as required by Georgia law
- Make sure the debt adjustment company provides all promises, terms and agreements in writing.
If you learn of a debt adjustment company that is in violation of Georgia law, please contact the Governor's Office of Consumer Affairs at 404-651-8600 or 800-869-1123.
For more information, contact Bill Cloud, Governor's Office of Consumer Affairs, at 404-656-3790.

Mizzou whips struggling Georgia
Earnest Ross scores 15 to lead Tigers
Earnest Ross scored 15 points while surviving two spills, helping No. 17 Missouri rebound from its biggest setback of the season with a 79-62 victory over Georgia on Wednesday night.
Alex Oriakhi had 13 points on perfect 5-for-5 shooting, eight rebounds and four blocks for the Tigers (13-3, 2-1 SEC), who were held to a season-low 49 points in a 15-point loss at Mississippi on Saturday. Their second game without leading scorer Laurence Bowers, who has a sprained right knee, was a major improvement for a team that's 10-0 at home this season and 26-1 at the Mizzou Arena in two seasons under coach Frank Haith.
Vincent Williams had a career-best 23 points on 7-for-10 shooting for Georgia (6-10, 0-3), nine more than his previous best after entering with a 4.1-point average. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, the Bulldogs' lone player averaging in double figures, added 15 points.
Ross was held to three points at Mississippi while missing six of seven shots, Oriakhi had four points and six rebounds and Missouri was 2 for 18 from 3-point range. The Tigers were 9 for 22 against Georgia, getting three apiece from Ross and Jabari Brown, who added 15 points.
Ross missed the last 2:52 of the first half after injuring his left leg. Then he landed hard on his hip after getting fouled under the basket with just under 6 minutes to go, making one of two free throws not long before limping to the bench for good.
Georgia is in a stretch of three Top 25 opponents in five games that started with a 33-point loss at Florida Jan. 9 and ends with Florida, now No. 10, at home on Jan. 23. The Bulldogs have lost three straight but shot 46 percent.
Haith juggled his lineup, with forwards Tony Criswell and Stefan Janovic each getting their first start in place of Ross and Keion Bell. Jankovic scored Missouri's first five points but lasted just 4 minutes in the half after drawing three fouls, the last just 37 seconds after re-entering.
Ross scored a career-high 30 points for Auburn against Georgia on Feb. 5, 2011.
The Tigers hit five 3-pointers and twice led by 14 points in the first half, but were outscored 8-2 over the last 3½ minutes as Georgia shaved the gap to eight points at the break.
Six players were whistled for at least two fouls in the first half, four from Missouri.

Jodie Stimpson described missing out on the London Olympics as "the kick up the backside I needed" after winning the first gold medal of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
In a dream start to Team England's campaign, 25-year-old Stimpson sprinted to victory at Strathclyde Country Park while team-mate Vicky Holland took a surprise bronze behind Canada's Kirsten Sweetland.
Stimpson went into the race as the top-ranked athlete and justified that position with a commanding performance, pulling away from Sweetland over the closing 500 metres of the race.
It was all a far cry from 2012, when Stimpson was distraught at being left out of the Great Britain team for London, and was one of a number of critics of British Triathlon's domestique policy.
Holland and Lucy Hall, who finished 11th in Glasgow, were picked to support then world champion Helen Jenkins.
Stimpson said: "I didn't meet the criteria for London, so it wasn't my spot.
"Obviously, I was devastated to miss a home Olympics. But that gave me the kick up the backside that I needed.
"I changed coach and it did wonders. Me and Darren Smith have worked so hard ever since.
"It's absolutely fantastic. This medal is not just mine, it's for all my family and friends and Darren. Thank you so much. This medal is yours."
Stimpson credits linking up with renowned Australian coach Smith as the turning point in her career and her results have certainly taken off.
The plan of the England trio had been to make it a hard race over a tough course to try to avoid all the favourites still being there on the run.
Despite the absence of Welsh world champion Non Stanford and Jenkins through injury, it was still a strong field.
Coming out of the 1.5 kilometre swim in Strathclyde Loch, England held the first three positions but their rivals were all there too.
Hall briefly tried a breakaway on the 40km bike but was pulled back and a group of 10 began the 10km run together.
That quickly became six, with Stimpson, Sweetland and Australia's Emma Jackson pushing the pace while Holland, Andrea Hewitt of New Zealand and Northern Ireland's Aileen Reid stayed with them.
Reid was the first to crack at the end of the penultimate lap and a kick by Stimpson got rid of the dangerous Jackson and Hewitt - the bronze medallist in 2006.
Holland held on until around a kilometre to go, but by then she had already secured a medal.
Stimpson, from Oldbury in the West Midlands, proved to be the strongest in the end and did not ease up until she had crossed the line
"I wouldn't say it was comfortable," she said with a chuckle. "I wanted to run out solid but everybody else was, too.
"I was not expecting that many to stay with us but when it's a big championships everybody leaves it all out there.
"It broke up on the last lap and I thought, 'Right, this is it, give it all you have got'. On the final downhill, it was a case of all or nothing. And it paid off."
Holland, from Gloucester, has never been on the podium in a world series race and declared it the best result of her career.
"I'm a bit overwhelmed but that was the top result I could have got," she said.
"I felt in control throughout the run and when my legs started to fail me with about a kilometre to go I must have turned around 15 times to check no-one was coming up behind me. It just felt the longest stretch of road in the world.
"It feels very poetic to win the first medals of the Games. You dream about this, and to get a medal with Jodie makes it even more fantastic."
Hall, 22, is not a strong runner and was treated in the medical tent at the finish after appearing to overheat on the run.
The medals were England's first in triathlon at the Commonwealths and set the team up for a potential clean sweep of the golds ahead of the men's race on Thursday afternoon and the mixed relay on Saturday.

From the Bones 4 core set, this is the subset called "Classic Horror", #130 through #135.
A take on some of the monsters of the 1930's Universal movies series fame, with both male and female counterparts. I based the Mummy on a 35x25mm base as his integral base was both scenic and rather wide and I did not want to cut it down. The others are based on 30mm round lipped bases.

I am slowly working through the Bones 4 core set. Today we come to #13, the Warrior of Chaos. I don't know what Reaper is calling this mini, if they even have a name for it yet. I imagine it would be something like "Bloodcurdle Angerpants, Anti-Paladin" or "Gruff McDuff, Evil Fighter". (Feel free to use these names, Reaper )
But it clearly is a Warrior of Chaos.
This model has the look, what with horned helmet, bulky full plate, skulls, straps, furry shoulders, heavy cloth cloak and the tower shield.
...and I was going to put a picture of a chaos warrior from the GW webstore here for comparion, but they obviously did not want me to, so that did not happen. No matter.
Did I say Warrior of Chaos? This is clearly a Champion of Chaos, what with such a massive rock to put their foot upon! Feet, even!
I had to base it on a 40mm base. Champion sized at that.
I have the higher ground! You cannot win! Also, I have a full set of Chaos Armour and all you have are tighty whiteys!

A large mini ragepainted sloppyfast in under an hour just to blow off some steam and get it off the tray it has been standing around for ages on.
Well, large mini I say. Compared to most other dragons of the Bones kickstarters, this one is rather smallish.
However, back in the day when heavy metal was king, this mini would be considered a large miniature of a dragon.

Please use the full SKU and name of Reaper minis in the titles of your Show Off threads, per forum guidelines. You can find this information on the blister card or in the online store. I also like to give credit to the sculptor in a tag, so people can find their favorites.
We have a high volume of posts generated from this challenge, which is great! But it's also creating a lot of work for the mods. Ladystorm has already urged folks to comply with these guidelines.
As an experiment, this project has been moved to be a bi-monthly challenge again, that seemed to have worked so until further notice that is our format. The longer time frame theoretically will give less stress to painting, and allow more complex jobs, and more sinister challenges.
Reaper only? - No.
If going on vacation, can I paint a mini(s) ahead to cover that time frame? - Yes.
Are speed paints acceptable - Yes.
Can it be a mini started previously? - Yes.
Based or unbased? - Yes.
Do minis for exchanges count? - Yes.
NEW RULE - Size Equivilancy
(This list is subject to change as bones 3 releases)
Medium and smaller = 1 ea
Simple Terrain (plain floors, walls) = 1ea
Complex Terrain (http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/Terrain/latest/03518 or such) = 2 ea
Large (Giants and the like) = 2 ea
Huge (Most dragons, Demon Minotaur Lord, etc) = 3 ea
Bigger (Kally, Khanjirra, etc) = half of quota rounded up
Colossal ("Tianot,") = quota
Due to the variable nature of a CAV I compare them against a generic 28mm figure and the Avatar large figure. I take height and bulk into considering if it is worth 1 or 2 figures.
If it's not in this list, it counts as 1. (not yet updated for the CAV II figures)
If you have a question on the size, please post it here, and I'll address them individually.
Much like last year, the idea is to help those of us that normally paint VERY little or not as much as one would like, to start painting more.
You challenge begins...now!
And Our Mantra:
If your name is missing, or you believe your count is incorrect, please PM me. Please note: to make counts easier, post in the bi-monthly thread and include the tag RPChallenge
The objective:
To paint 52+ minis throughout the course of the year via bi-monthly quota
(each bi-monthly thread will have the quota listed as well as the master list)
What qualifies:
Darn near anything!
Any material!
Shelf of shame minis from ages long forgotten!
Exchange minis!
Speed paints!
Armies! (Though I'd encourage perhaps something outside the army as well)
Any Size!
Etc! (I think that covers everything)
Year long challenge
Pick a miniature of size large or greater to complete in the Jan-Feb Block. In Nov-December, purchase that same mini and repaint in the same scheme to see direct side-by-side improvement or changes in your methods

Again, I request that when tagging your posts, please use "RPChallenge" to help with locating minis from this.

Knitters and crocheters are on my top picks for being among the most generous people in Maine. Now they have another opportunity to stitch for the common good of children in Central Maine Power Co.'s southern and central Maine service area as part of the company's mitten drive.
"We love getting handmade mittens, hats and scarves — or purchased ones," said Tammy Pierce, CMP project coordinator. "Last year we collected a total of 7,600 mittens, hats and scarves, and distributed 7,200."
The program, she said, is in its ninth year, but had its beginnings in 1995 when CMP employees in the Portland area organized volunteers to knit and collect mittens to give to children in Portland. In 2004, the program expanded throughout the CMP service area and now covers 11,000 square miles in southern and central Maine. More than 400 schools request the warm garments through the program.
"We get tons of thank you notes every year," Pierce said.
The letters from teachers frequently mention that there is a need for hats, mittens and scarves. Often, she said, individual children will decorate and send cards of thanks.
The popularity of the program garnered it the 2009 Augusta Spirit of America Award at a recognition ceremony at the Blaine House.
CMP partners with several entities to make the project run smoothly, Pierce said. WMTW Channel 8 provides public service announcements to inform the knitting and crocheting public — and those who wish to purchase and donate items — about the program.
Marden's in Biddeford, Gray, Lewiston, Rumford, Sanford, Scarborough and Waterville; Renys in Bath, Belfast, Bridgton, Camden, Damariscotta, Farmington, Gardiner, Madison, Portland, Saco, Topsham and Wells; and Tim Hortons in Auburn, Augusta, Biddeford, Brunswick, Lewiston, Newport, Norway, Portland, Rockland, Scarborough, Skowhegan, South Portland, Topsham and Waterville have bins in their stores for the collection of mittens, hats and scarves.
The mitten drive will continue through the end of February.
To donate skeins of yarn for the project, mail them to: Tammy Pierce, 83 Edison Drive, Augusta 04436.
For information, visit cmpco.com, click on Giving Back, the Community, or call 623-3521.
To receive a copy of the pattern Classic Mittens and Gloves for the Entire Family — it's my favorite — send a stamped, self-addressed envelope to: Ardeana Hamlin, Bangor Daily News, P.O. Box 1329, Bangor 04402.
Plan a special outing to a library or bookstore and look for titles with the word "mitten" in it.
The Pine Kneedlers Knitting Guild meets 6-8 p.m. the third Thursday of each month at Sunbury Village, 922 Ohio St. in Bangor. For information, visit pine-kneedlers.org.
Check the events page at bangordailynews.com for church fair listings where handmade mittens often can be found.
If you have a pair of vintage mittens passed down in the family, or mittens that your child once wore, consider framing them and giving them as a gift.
Hang a pair of vintage mittens on your Christmas tree to remind of the happy times of season's past.
Go to ravelry.com and search for the free Mini Mittens pattern. Then knit yourself a merry little mitten garland Christmas.

Abhaya Parthy, MathWorks
A key challenge with the growing volume of measured data in the energy sector is the preparation of the data for analysis. This challenge comes from data being stored in multiple locations, in multiple formats, and with multiple sampling rates. This presentation considers the collection of time-series data sets from multiple sources including Excel files, SQL databases, and data historians. Techniques for preprocessing the data sets are shown, including synchronizing the data sets to a common time reference, assessing data quality, and dealing with bad data. We then show how subsets of the data can be extracted to simplify further analysis.
About the Presenter: Abhaya is an Application Engineer at MathWorks Australia where he applies methods from the fields of mathematical and physical modelling, optimisation, signal processing, statistics and data analysis across a range of industries. Abhaya holds a Ph.D. and a B.E. (Software Engineering) both from the University of Sydney, Australia. In his research he focused on array signal processing for audio and acoustics and he designed, developed and built a dual concentric spherical microphone array for broadband sound field recording and beam forming.

Picasa 3.5 Incorporates Photo Tagging, Google Maps
Google on Tuesday introduced the latest version of its Picasa photo editing software, which incorporates photo tagging and Google Maps integration for geo-tagging.
After you install and launch Picasa 3.5, the program will scan existing photos to create groups of people with similar facial characteristics. They'll be placed in an "unnamed people" album, and you will have the opportunity to identify them by clicking "add a name" and typing the person's name. If you're signed into your Google account, names from your address book will auto-complete as you type.
After you add a name, Picasa will create an album dedicated to that person. Add more pictures, and Picasa will suggest which album it thinks your photo belongs.
"You can use the name tags you've added and your new people albums to do creative things with your photos. For example, you can find all of the photos with the same two people in them, create customizable face collages, time-lapse movies, and more," Google wrote in a blog post.
Tagged photos can be synched between the desktop version of Picasa and Picasa Web Albums. On the Web, go to Tools and click "Download Name Tags from Picasa Web Albums." From Picasa, click "upload tagged photos."
Now you know who these people are, might as well tell people where you are. Google has also incorporated Google Maps into Picasa 3.5 for easier geo-tagging. You no longer have to open Google Earth to add geo tags.
"Now you can add location info to photos - one photo at a time or several photos at once," Google wrote. "Simply select pictures, click the Places panel, search or surf to a place, and drop a pin in the right place on the map. Once you've added geo tags, you can select a group of photos and see where they were all taken."
Google also revamped the interface a bit. You can upload pictures directly to Picasa Web Albums from your camera or memory card. Google also added a Tags panel for quick access and to view how many photos are tagged in each category.
Finally, Google has removed the beta tags from Picasa for Mac, which debuted nine months ago.

Susan Hiller: THE LAST SILENT MOVIE
April 29 – August 14, 2011
In Nixon Gallery
Susan Hiller, class of 1961, is one of Smith College's most distinguished artist-alumnae. Since Hiller turned from her academic training as an anthropologist to become an artist in the 1970s, she has been based in Europe where she has established an international career working across a wide variety of media. Her work is currently the subject of a major retrospective at Tate Britain. The Last Silent Movie (2008), a film installation with a suite of 24 etchings, is based on recordings of native speakers of extinct or dying languages discovered by the artist in archives around the world. It draws on Hiller's long concerns with absence and loss, a theme movingly addressed in this work and in her earlier J Street Project, a film/installation that commemorates German Jewish communities eradicated by the Nazis during the Second World War. The title of The Last Silent Movie references silent movies of the early twentieth century, in which speakers are pictured but not heard; their words are conveyed through subtitles. In Hiller's film, the speakers are invisible to us. We hear voices and languages that no longer exist but that are not silent because, as the artist has said, "someone is listening." The Last Silent Movie was recently acquired by the Museum and is placed on view in honor of the artist's 50th reunion.

REI Taku Pants
I couldn't be happier with these pants. I use them…
Price Paid: $159
I couldn't be happier with these pants. I use them mostly during search and rescue training. They handle rain, snow and muddy with no problems. Wish the price was a little better but they have paid for themselves.
These are great pants. They are extremely comfortable…
Price Paid: $160
These are great pants. They are extremely comfortable - the stretch fabric in the thigh region makes them wonderful for those high steps one must make on steeper slopes. Alas, however, this is precisely their downfall. The stretch fabric, while comfy, isn't terribly sturdy. I tore a hole in mine on their first outing. On the plus side, these pants have kept me dry through hiking, climbing, and snowboarding (more falling than boarding) except for the snow that sneaks in above the waist.
I would recommend these to anyone looking for a snow-hiking pant and/or a ski/snowboard pant. Also, a set of suspenders wouldn't hurt as they do creep down...the integrated belt is more or less useless.
I would not recommend these for anyone who plans to do any climbing where they will be encountering rock bands or any other hard, abrasive surfaces as they are a bit fragile.
Overall, I really enjoy the fit and feel but wish they were a little more beefy.
I've used the pants alpine climbing and snowshoeing…
Fabric: nylon/polyester
Price Paid: $159
I've used the pants alpine climbing and snowshoeing in Rocky Mountain National Park. Conditions have varied from calm and pleasant while trudging through the trees to very high winds, whiteout conditions at single digit temps on the ridges and peaks. The pants protected me very well with just a lightweight wicking underwear underneath. The built-in gator/cuff tightener worked well, as did the built-in stretch belt.
Things I would change:
1. need suspenders as they creep down a bit over time, especially with a pack on
2. one of the lower leg zippers got caught on the fabric behind it, and it was a bear to get working. Tough on cold fingers.
Where to Buy
$169.00 (men's)
The REI Taku Pants is not available from the stores we monitor. It was last seen May 29, 2013 at REI.
