Say what you like about Major Lazer, but one thing the DJ duo is not is boring. That's a pretty high compliment these days, when so many bands sound like carefully constructed hybrids of other bands we've heard before.
Years of club DJing, producing tracks for mainstream and underground artists alike, and applying their unique musical sensibilities to the latest technologies appear to have kept Major Lazer ahead of the game.
Meanwhile, a strong visual aesthetic — including a striking video directed by Eric Wareheim of Tim and Eric Awesome Show! that some consider obscene — doesn't hurt their cause. The group has become widely known not only for its frantic, cutting-edge sound, but for its bizarre videos people can't seem to help but share.
Wired.com sat down with Diplo, aka Wes Pentz, an American who along with British cohort Switch (aka Dave Taylor) and a rotating cast of singers make up Major Lazer, one of the rare major-label acts to play at the South by Southwest music festival last month in Austin, Texas.
In the following interview, edited for length and clarity, Diplo raps about recording found street sounds, the underground's defeat of the cheesy club scene, and how he made the sample of the millennium for his ex-girlfriend, M.I.A.
Wired.com: You use a lot of interesting sounds in your recordings. What type of stuff did you pick up in Jamaica?
Diplo: Just interviews and random sounds — we use a lot of found sounds in all of our records, me and Switch. In New Orleans, we recorded brass bands and some of a songwriter's demos, and used the guitar parts because the takes are so natural. Sometimes, impulsively, we might make a demo out of it and then go back and track it properly. I'm always working on like four albums at once, between New Orleans and Jamaica last month, so some stuff we start, some stuff we finish, and some stuff doesn't make the cut, but I can stay busy all the time — it's pretty cool.
Wired.com: It seems like that's something a lot of bands could benefit from is working a little bit harder. Like, if you want to quit your day job, make it your day job.
Diplo: Luckily I'm a DJ as my job on the performance side of it, but as a producer, I know my way around programs and sounds so I'm able to do different styles. Bands have to give their band the full [effort], and they can't really stray from that. Some guys really perfected that art, like Bjorn from Peter, Bjorn and John, who's on Likke Li's records — he developed her sound, and he does Peter, Bjorn and John stuff and The Hives, so he's kind of able to play both sides, like a lot of the Swedish guys.
Klaus from the Teddybears, Bloodshy and Avant and Mike Snow, they've done lots of Britney Spears production. They went backwards from production to being in a band, which might be cool. I might do that too one day.
Wired.com: How is SXSW going?
Diplo: I love the culture of the DJs that we have here. Four years ago it was a lot harder for DJs than it is now. We were trying to play new records and the crowds weren't really there, and we were working our asses off making our own tracks. Now, I went to a party last night, and it was all DJs — packed, all friends of mine, and we're all playing new records and people are going crazy, so the vibe is definitely different. I feel like all the hard work has paid off, and we've developed a subculture around this new kind of attitude that DJs and producers are having.
Wired.com: What is the new attitude? To me, it seems like it's "the return of fun." Like, for a while there, people weren't allowed to have fun.
Diplo: Yeah, definitely. DJ culture with house and club music was cold to people, because that's what you do: You dress up in your suit and go to a New Jersey club or whatever. It's cheesy, right? But then this underground thing happened — I'd say it started with the French guys, and then a lot of these young kids were starting to make music, like the kids on my label [Mad Decent] — Elvis 1990, Boy 8-Bit, Fake Blood, Blaqstarr.
With these kids we're developing our styles and doing it really homegrown and localized, and then we're going to mix things up. We don't have preconditions of what's cool and what's not. Even if I'm a black kid making Baltimore club music, I can use a little bit of gay house music, or techno, or a little bit of dubstep or a rock riff — there's really no holds barred in the way we're producing now. All that matters is that it sounds good, has a big drop, and gets people to go crazy. It doesn't matter if it's fucking cool, or if it's underground, or if it's commercial. We can throw a little bit of everything in there.
Wired.com: So it's back to quality and fun, instead of, "Is this in style"?
Diplo: The stuff that lasts is the stuff that's striking. We did a record called Pon de Floor with Major Lazer and [the title track, playable to the right] didn't sound like anything else. When we did it, it was kind of buried in the album, but it just rose up to the top because it represented this electric kind of sound. We're not using any synths — we're just using a voice and chopping things up, so it was striking to people; it didn't sound like anything else. You can hear it right away.
It's very competitive, this crew we have, of DJs — competitive about how good it sounds, like how good our mixing and mastering is, because that's a fucking skill that we all hone and try to compete with each other. It's also how different it sounds, and how it can be integrated into a set. Those are three qualities a record has to have if you're a producer. And at the other end, I'm still producing pop and R&B records, and I take a little bit of what I learn in the club scene with my friends and take a little of that pop style, and try to use it to my advantage and just keep learning.
Wired.com: You guys have some great videos, and that attracts attention. Obviously, music is an auditory thing, but how important is video, and what's your strategy with the videos? Are you a YouTube partner, for instance?
Diplo: Definitely, we're just starting out [but] to see our videos reach a million views — it's definitely a way to market the record. Some kids might check The Hype Machine or trade MP3s around, but if the video's crazy, everybody's going to be turned on to that song, like, "That was so funny I want to watch it again, I want to listen to it again."
Our [Eric Wareheim-directed] video for "Pon de Floor" reached a half a million views before it got cut off for being indecent [view it above], and then we put it back on again and it got like half a million views, and then an actual still [frame] from the video started to grow, because people had watched the video and then they wanted to watch the still, and that's at over a million now. It just shows that people listen to music on YouTube and Lala. Kids listen to mixes of whatever they want to hear — it's quicker than doing MySpace, it's an instant [thing]. So we utilize that, we take advantage of it. A good video is just going to carry it a little bit longer.
A good example is Die Antwoord , those South African guys. Their video was so eclectic and crazy that they got all the buzz so quickly, it reached a million views in under a month. Now they're in America — I was even hanging out with those guys a couple days ago in New York. It just goes to show that you can actually take that buzz and generate something for you, if it's powerful enough.
Labels try so hard to make these striking, crazy videos, but if the song doesn't match, it doesn't really matter. You have to have some quality. For us, the music's got to be quality, 100 percent, but our project, Major Lazer, is a little bit hard to market because it's like reggae, it's eclectic, it's mad artists — it's not one star involved — it's more like a team. The Gorillaz is a good example of the kind of pattern we try to follow. I think our music is 100 percent quality first, but then we launched the whole idea of it. The style has to be strong too, and I took cues from people like M.I.A., The Clash and Elvis Presley — people that have strong images. A good example is Justice — you can never separate the cross and their iconic leather jacket image from their music.
Even if you forget their music, what it sounds like, you're going to know those dudes by what they look like right away. It can't be fake. I think our project is ridiculous and crazy and funny and stupid and that's what our videos kind of represent — it's back to having fun and being crazy.
Wired.com: What about the art of sampling as a real instrument — how is that evolving right now? It used to seem like the serious guitar dudes were critical, but it seems like that's going away. What's your stance on that?
Diplo: I think everyone who plays an instrument and comes from a real musical background is a bit perturbed by sampling in general. It might be ignorance to begin with — like, they don't like hip-hop because "it's an ignorant form of music and they're not creating anything." I think one of the biggest haters of our stuff is always going to be the guy from Black Flag, Henry Rollins. He just always hated. We actually sampled him on Major Lazer — we couldn't clear it, we had to change the riff around a little bit, which sucked because it was kind of a statement. Always, when we sample, I try to be making statements.
I think "Paper Planes" is a good example because it's a song that represents Maya's attitude. It sampled a Clash record — the goal is to try to reach people and give the song more depth. It's hard to pick up on it, but if you do dig into it, people are like, "Damn, that's an all-around song now" when they understand the sample source.
On the new record I've just done for her that might be the single, I sampled a bunch of gospel-y, old-school, Alabama, weird, Sacred Harp singers — it's turning into an Animal Collective kind of record, which represents a total departure from what you would expect from her, but that's where her head was at. She just had a baby so she was on this elated [mood]. With her it's always sort of random, whatever you think was not going to be productive — that ended up being a really shitty demo and it turned into a big song. You've got to do something that makes you go, "Woah, that's fuckin' weird, it's crazy." That's kind of the story of my career — I just have a bunch of accidents and then every once in a while I clean it up.
Wired.com: When I first heard that "Paper Planes" sample — I was a huge fan of that era of The Clash — I just couldn't believe how great it was. It's the sample of the millennium. I didn't view it in any way as theft, because it has a totally different flavor, it just recontextualizes the sample. Do you think that makes the difference, that you picked such a different context?
Diplo: Definitely, I think a lot of the young kids they don't even know the sample. Me and you are from a different generation that grew up with that music, and these kids, they're growing up on M.I.A., and she represents The Clash to them. There's not any other artist that is forward-thinking, doing stuff that sounds cutting-edge, and also songs that are quality. [The young kids] just kind of got the pop stuff — they need something that has a strong backbone.
It's all replayed, by the way — it's not like a proper sample, because I wanted to take some parts away and make it a bit fatter. I was actually referencing "Maps" by Yeah Yeah Yeahs more than anything, with the high strings. They never drop into the dubby break that The Clash has, and I like that idea of sustained energy on a song. It never goes anywhere, but you're always ready. It's a tricky thing to do — we did it on "Hold the Line," where it's got this fill. It almost runs on a guitar fill, and it never drops into, like, the thing. It's tricky to do that — the energy's crazy, a lot of people don't pick up on that attitude, but it's always bouncing and striking.
Wired.com: Do you think it helps with short attention spans? Like, if you never get there, then people can't leave.
Diplo: Yeah, exactly. I definitely have to deal with short-attention-span people — I'm one of the biggest ADD characters you could find — but I feel like we're bringing something new out of it. We're taking things that are kind of tricks, and making them into their own little genres now. With those kinds of records it's always about trying to do something different and shake things up.

peeves and passes
Recently, on a drive from Palmerston North to Auckland, I spent some time musing on which grammar issues bother me and which ones don't. Of course, the very fact that this issue was taking up space in my brain illustrates that I'm a Tragic Grammar Nut. I could have been taking in all the delicious signs of spring: the soft greens of newly unfurled leaves, spring lambs and calves, even little black piglets in one paddock. I could have been swelling with nationalistic pride; New Zealand is gripped by World Cup Fever so there were All Black flags everywhere, fluttering from cars, letter boxes, roof tops. One farmer had even filled a whole paddock with flags and black and silver balloons.
But no, I was thinking about grammar and punctuation.
What doesn't bother me? Well, I decided that comma splices in some situations (I recently read a PD James novel that was full of them) don't raise my blood pressure too much, especially if I can see the reason for them. Incomplete sentences don't worry me too much, again, if there's a reason for them. I can cope with some misplaced commas. And I'm very comfortable about starting sentences with conjunctions.
But what can't I live with? Sorry, I'm a stickler for apostrophes - even when the mistake doesn't really cause any confusion. I think this is a weakness in my character: I should be more forbearing, but there it is. I can't bear "should of" to such an extent that I would correct someone who uses such an expression, whether that person is a total stranger, a friend, a salesperson or my boss. But my biggest peeve is one that hit me in the face on this trip. We stopped in Hamilton for a meal at our favourite Turkish restaurant and there was a GIGANTIC advert which said, in letters half a mile high, "More data, less dollars". It was all I could do not to head to the nearest hardware store to buy a ladder, black paint and a paint brush and correct it. I was still yelling "FEWER dollars!!" as my partner bundled me hastily into the car, executed a swift u-turn, and headed back on to the motorway out to Auckland.
So what are the grammar errors you can live with? And which ones bring out the Grammar Nut in you?

Ah - I too used to correct 'less dollars' until I read Henry Hitchings about it. I still do most of the time. But let's face it, this use of 'fewer' will probably have disappeared in 50 years' time. There is a logic to using 'fewer', but I doubt if it is a compelling enough logic for the usage to be retained. Language is not designed. It evolves as bits of it find hosts that will reproduce them, and 'less' clearly has a better reproductive strategy at present than 'fewer'.

'Yous'. It might be an
Australian conversational quirk, but I HATE (with the biggest hate imaginable), 'how are yous?'
Now ewes might be in plentiful abundance (that's a tautology but never mind) in New Zealand. But walking into a gathering and asking 'how are yous?' drives me NUTS!!!! (Perhaps, worse than this, is 'how are y's? [prounounced yaz]'.
Let's leave ewes in the paddock and yous at the footy (football) match!

'Henry Hitchings' has an almost Dikensean ring to it (imagine 'enry 'itchings). Love it, David.
I don't know this man, but on further reading it seems that he embraces the ephemeral nature of language and the ways in which it is constantly on the move. A man after our own hearts!
If you want to read more about 'enry's work, this is a nice interview:

I want to jump up and down and scream every time someone uses a verb which doesn't agree with the subject in sentences like this: "The main reason for the lack of apostrophes are the growing number of Grammar Vandals." I hear this everywhere, even on the radio and television. People simply make the verb agree with the closest noun, instead of looking for the subject it relates to. Aargh!!!

The use of "less" with count nouns is hardly a new phenomenon. It's been going on for well over a thousand years. The supposed rule that "fewer" always goes with count nouns, and "less" with uncountables, started as a mere stylistic recommendation, enunciated for the first time in the late 18th century. Sometime by the end of the 19th, it had become an absolute dictum in certain school textbooks, a rule that has never been strictly followed in any point in English history.
Look up Google books, in the 19th century alone. You'll find "X [count nouns] or fewer" occurs at a rate of less than 1% of the hits for "X [nouns] or less". This includes the literary corpus. Other instances where "less" far outnumbers "fewer" is the structure "less than". "Their team scored 5 points less than ours", for instance. Using "fewer" in either instance sounds decidedly "wrong" to most native speakers for a good reason.
In these cases, "more" pairs logically with "less", and "less" with count nouns dates to Anglo Saxon. This peeve is purely a shibboleth.

Sorry about this, but I have to say it: over use of upper case, for example, Grammar Nut. People just love using upper case letters when they're plainly unnecessary. I can understand saying Grammar Nut when using it as a name for an individual, but the context here is clearly one where use of lower case is correct.

Unless Lisa is part of that little known association called Tragic Grammar Nuts Incorporated. Then, I think, she may use capital letters in 'Tragic Grammar Nut' :-)

Andrea - well spotted! I'm guessing you might be a member too??
But this is my point exactly, Anonymous. For me, the odd capital for dramatic effect in a light hearted piece of writing is no problem (though it would be, for example, in a formal report. I'm far more likely to get hung up on the punctuation in your opening sentence (would "such as" have been better, meaning you wouldn't need to use the comma....?). But of course that, too, is a matter of taste, impact, style.
I'm interested in those places where correctness and taste become blurred, and the way we react to those grey areas. Writing is so much more than a set of rules - and it is interesting that those rules so often bother us at a gut level. This week, on the Stuff website, one of the bloggers raised issues to do with correct use of punctuation and has received a deluge of passionate response. Yet I wonder why this matters so much when issues to do with audience and effect are, in many ways, more important. Not always, but often.

My peeve is the improper use of "anxious" when someone means "eager." I just don't understand why someone is stressed about things they should enjoy remembering that anxious is feeling anxiety or stress while eager is excitement. I can understand, for instance, being anxious about getting your Christmas shopping done, but most people are eager for the season.

I am far from perfect, but in the past week alone I have received emails from three different colleagues containing the words "Saturday's", "effect" when she wanted "affect", and "weary" when she meant "wary." I'm actually weary and wary from the mess of it all. (And YES, I know I mixed UK and US quotation mark rules. I'm allowed. Thirty-five years in the US, now on my fourth in the UK.)
Of course, you might think this is normal, seeing these sorts of errors running rampant through emails. Well, um, it might be forgivable if we weren't all ENGLISH TEACHERS.
I'm not sure how much longer I can take the ignorance or apathy in my own profession. Who is to blame? I just had to vent.
(My personal pet peeve list would be volumes, btw.)

Hi StephCo
Your post really made me smile.
I am not a grammarphile, but a journalist (and academic) whose attention to correct grammar is meant to be unscrupulous.
I would like to propose one reason for what seems to be a collective global tardiness. We are ALL time poor.
The volume of information we produce in the communication age does not equate with the amount of time we need to give our writing the due consideration it deserves.
When we dash off an email in haste, perhaps we don't proofread it in the detail we might have read an office memo. Maybe our eyes are tired from looking at the screen too much (I know mine are).
Are these lame excuses from someone who should be beyond reproach?
Hmmm....I wonder. What do other people think?

There! I made a mistake (which shows I do proofread, after all). I meant: attention to grammar should be scrupulous. Goodness gracious!

Hello, I come from Hamilton (where I am a Learning Developer) and had to smile a little at your inauspicious exit from our town.
I am intrigued at how animated people become over their favourite language peeves. My interest in them is why they occur; what may be going on with the way we learn a (native / mother) language that we are losing the nuance of meaning that accurate grammar and lexical acumen might provide. Is increasingly inaccurate or imprecise language peculiar to English?
I'm going out on a limb here, but we've made a little online grammar product to try and help our learners, and I was wondering if your readers might be interested in offering positive and/or constructive feedback.

Breast cancer researchers find new drug target companion prognostic test for hormone therapy resistance
A team of international cancer researchers led by Dr. Mathieu Lupien at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, University Health Network, has identified the signalling pathway that is over-activated in estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer cells that are resistant to hormone therapies such as tamoxifen, aromatase inhibitors or fulvestrant.
Resistance to hormone therapy is reported in almost half of ER-positive breast cancer patients and no cure is currently available. The fact that the pathway, called Notch, is a drug target creates hope for a new therapy.
The findings, published online today in PNAS, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, "provide a new therapeutic target against hormone therapy-resistant breast cancers and a companion test to identify tumours that would become resistant" says Dr. Lupien, a scientist at the Ontario Cancer Institute, the research arm of the cancer centre, and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Medial Biophysics, University of Toronto. He specializes in epigenetics of hormone-dependent cancers – the study of non-genetic determinants of cellular identity that can also be altered to initiate or modify disease.
"In studying the epigenetics of hormone therapy resistance, we discovered that breast cancer cells behave like a chameleon. Indeed, as the chameleon changes its skin colour to camouflage itself and evade predators," says Dr. Lupien, "breast cancer cells change the appearance of their DNA through epigenetics to evade, in this case, hormone therapy." In so doing, hormone therapy-resistant breast cancer cells highlight regions of their DNA related to the Notch pathway.
At the molecular level, the research team characterized the epigenetic appearances of the DNA of drug-resistant and drug-responsive breast cancer cells. The team discovered that the Notch signaling pathway plays the predominant role in drug-resistant breast cancer cells even if cells remain positive for ER.
"This is a highly promising discovery that could rapidly translate in the clinic. Drugs against the Notch pathway are available." says Dr. Lupien. The key will be to test the efficacy of these drugs against hormone therapy resistance in breast cancer.

Research Groups
CSD researchers collaborate extensively within and without the Division, blurring the lines between the research groups described below. Each group makes important contributions to CSD's primary research themes of Climate, Air Quality and the Ozone Layer. This strong overlap of interests and productivity helps create the vibrant, robust atmospheric research environment for which the Chemical Sciences Division is widely known.
Cloud & Aerosol Processes
This group studies processes important to climate, air quality, and precipitation. We measure the chemical, physical, and optical properties of aerosol particles in the field and laboratory to better understand the sources, sinks, and radiative properties of these particles. Researchers in our group make aircraft measurements of cloud droplets and use diverse, innovative modeling techniques to understand the physical and radiative properties of clouds.
Atmospheric Remote Sensing
This research team uses land, ship, and aircraft-based optical systems to study processes of importance to air quality, climate, aviation, weather forecasting, wind energy, and marine ecosystems. Our capabilities and interests include the development and deployment of state-of-the art lidar and spectroscopic instrumentation, and the interpretation of data obtained with these systems.
Regional Chemical Modeling
This group conducts research to improve forecasts of regional air quality, including particulate matter and ozone, and to improve understanding of the free tropospheric ozone budget. We use the WRF-Chem chemical transport model to develop and evaluate state-of-the-art innovative ways of describing and forecasting the emission, transport, and chemical evolution of pollutants in the atmosphere.
Chemical Processes & Instrument Development
With precision laboratory work, this research group targets trace gases, aerosols and atmospheric chemical processes affecting air quality, ozone layer depletion, and climate. We characterize the lifetimes and photochemical processing of trace species, and evaluate their impact.
Tropospheric Chemistry
Researchers in this group improve understanding of the atmospheric processes that underlie air quality and the influence that these processes have on climate. We develop and field deploy state-of-the-art instruments capable of measuring important atmospheric gas species from ultra-trace levels to the extremely high concentrations found at emission sources. We collaborate widely to draw on diverse techniques – from laboratory to modeling studies – to explore atmospheric processes influencing air quality and climate.
Atmospheric Composition & Chemical Processes
Through airborne field measurements, this research group targets trace gases, aerosols and atmospheric chemical processes affecting air quality, ozone layer depletion, and climate. We design, develop, and deploy instruments to measure atmospheric trace gases and particles, and interpret observations to better understand atmospheric processes.
Chemistry & Climate Processes
This group provides integrated analysis and modeling that addresses chemistry and climate processes spanning the troposphere and stratosphere. We advance the scientific building blocks that underlie science and policy, and we provide scientific leadership to improve understanding and directly assist public policy. Our group collaborates widely, with colleagues at NOAA and academia to those in international research organizations.

There's no shortage of PR reps banging on the electronic doors around here, offering products to sample. As I've mentioned before, however, it's pretty rare for me to accept the offer (books are a notable exception – which I'll get to in posts soon to come), mainly because most of these products are types of booze I'm either ambivalent about, or actively seek to avoid.
This is an exception (and, in keeping with a promise I made at some point, I'm disclosing this fact to my readers — both of you). A ginger liqueur has always been high on my list of things I'd like to try, and when the offer came to sample
There's something else I should disclose: I fully expected to be disappointed by
But after sampling
Here's the skinny from the press kit:
The only real quibble I had with the product's rollout was the header in the press release: "The World's First Ginger Liqueur Launches." The bottle of Giffard Ginger of the
On the palate,
I was actually quite surprised at how well Canton stood up to the Ginger of the Indies (to put this in perspective, Giffard's Abricot du Roussilon liqueur changed my whole perspective on what an apricot liqueur could be, so I had a lot of faith in what Giffard could do, and high expectations for the liqueur). But,
I haven't really started mixing with it yet, but I know there's a lot of opportunity here. If you happen to come across a bottle and try a new cocktail, be sure to give me a heads-up, and I'll do the same.
(And incidentally, though I had this post ready to go on Friday but decided to hold onto it over the weekend, Jamie beat me to the punch and posted about Canton on Saturday. If you're in the neighborhood, head over to Vessel and drink his stash; he has more of that "chic night spot" thing going on, anyway.)

Hospital laptop theft sparks concerns
Kids' details at large
Posted in The Channel, 28th March 2007 06:02 GMT
A laptop containing data on 11,000 children between the ages of eight months and eight years old has been stolen from a Nottinghamshire hospital.
Data contained on the laptop contained the names, addresses, and dates of birth of children from the Newark, Mansfield, and Ashfield areas, the BBC reports.
The machine was one of three swiped from an office in King's Mill Hospital, Sutton-in-Ashfield, on 21 March. Nottinghamshire Primary Care Trust has informed all of the families affected. A spokeswoman said it took the security breach "extremely seriously" and promised an inquiry. Meanwhile, Nottinghamshire police have launched an investigation into the theft.
The laptop was password protected, according to hospital boss, though that alone is unlikely to foil potential data thieves. Security experts, never slow to engage in a spot of ambulance chasing, said the case illustrated the need to use full disk encryption in order to protect sensitive data from prying eyes. ®

Overnight storms cause damage in Carroll CountyBy LAKEADRA COFFEY,
- 23113 reads
Straight line winds from a severe thunderstorm have caused power outages and downed power lines throughout North Carrollton – closing schools, damaging some homes, and making it hard for the people and Carroll County Emergency Management Center director to get to work.
Carroll County Emergency Operations Center Director Gail Beard said several homes sustained some damage during the storm Wednesday night. Beard said in North Carrollton, a tree fell on part of a house and car on North Montgomery Lane, and trees have fallen on Williamson Street. Hoboken Street, and Mill Drive. A house on First Street received some minor damage. She also said the recreational park also received damage.
This morning, Entergy's power outage map showed there were around 500 people in North Carrollton without power. Beard said 4K, Shell-Go, and a beauty salon were all without power this morning.
"Most of it was in North Carrollton. There was a tree that fell on 17 Highway, three-quarters of a mile south. A truck driver and another lady ran into it before it was cleared. Their vehicles were messed up pretty bad, but thankfully no one was hurt and I haven't heard of any injuries throughout this, so that's a good thing."
She said the awning at J.Z. George High School that stretches from the gym to school was toppled from wind. Beard said Carroll County Schools were closed today because there were trees down throughout the county.
"The county crew has gotten most of those, but with trees being a danger on the county roads, [Superintendent Billy Jo Ferguson] didn't run the buses."
Beard, who lives on Highway 82, said she was unable to get out of her driveway because of trees that were blocking it.
"A tree fell on my husband's truck, and I've been stuck in the driveway, I can't get out," she said.
She said she hasn't received any reports of rotation during the storm.
"It was just a severe thunderstorm," she said.

Over the last 1,000 years, Zen teachers have created collections of stories to inspire, guide and ultimately awaken practitioners. The earliest of these were known as "lamp" collections because they illuminated the great way.
However women were virtually absent from these collections (true even for more recent versions). (I created Zen Women to help remedy this shortcoming.)
At last a volume has appeared that provides a comprehensive resource for anyone interested in full representation of Zen training: The Hidden Lamp. Here's a brief description:
The Hidden Lamp is a collection of one hundred koans and stories of Buddhist women from the time of the Buddha to the present day. This revolutionary book brings together many teaching stories that were hidden for centuries, unknown until this volume. These stories are extraordinary expressions of freedom and fearlessness, relevant for men and women of any time or place. In these pages we meet nuns, laywomen practicing with their families, famous teachers honored by emperors, and old women selling tea on the side of the road.
Each story is accompanied by a reflection by a contemporary woman teacher—personal responses that help bring the old stories alive for readers today—and concluded by a final meditation for the reader, a question from the editors meant to spark further rumination and inquiry. These are the voices of the women ancestors of every contemporary Buddhist.
I'll post a full review of The Hidden Lamp later this year. In the meantime, I hope you'll spend time with this wonderful volume, letting its light shine brightly!

Warner's Focus took in $1.86 million on Tuesday to lead the daily box office for a fifth straight day. The romantic heist film starring Will Smith and Margot Robbie was up a healthy 23 percent over Monday's performance. Focus has grossed $22.06 million in five days. That is slightly below pre-release expectations and places the film a lackluster 31 percent behind the $31.91 million five-day take of 2013's After Earth.
Fox's Kingsman: The Secret Service held steady in second place with $1.17 million. The Matthew Vaughn directed graphic novel adaptation starring Colin Firth was up a strong 25 percent over Monday and down 38 percent from last Tuesday. Kingsman has grossed a stronger than expected $87.94 million in 19 days and is currently on pace to surpass the $90 million mark on Friday.
Fifty Shades of Grey took in $0.980 million to remain in third. Universal's successful erotic romantic drama was up 13 percent over Monday and down a sharp 57 percent from last Tuesday. While it's proving to be very front-loaded, Fifty Shades of Grey has grossed a very strong $149.24 million in 19 days and will reach the $150 million mark either today or Thursday.
The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water was up one spot and 20 percent over Monday to place in fourth on Tuesday with $0.619 million. Paramount's successful 3D animated film was down just 31 percent from last Tuesday. The SpongeBob Movie continues to exceed expectations with $141.07 million through 26 days of release.
The Lazarus Effect was down one spot from Monday to land in fifth place with $0.616 million. The low-budget PG-13 rated horror film from Relativity increased a modest 8 percent over Monday. The Lazarus Effect has grossed $11.39 million in five days. That is slightly below expectations and places the film 19 percent behind the $14.09 million five-day start of last year's Oculus.
Disney's McFarland, USA continued to claim sixth place with $0.604 million. The well received sports drama starring Kevin Costner was up a solid 19 percent over Monday, but also down 42 percent from last Tuesday. McFarland, USA continues to perform on the very high end of expectations with $23.13 million through twelve days of release.

Free Lecture by Dr. Richard Haass: Why Foreign Policy Begins at Home [CANCELED]
Thursday, May 9, 2013, 6:30 - 8:30pm
Add to Calendar
President Jamshed Bharucha requests the pleasure of your company for the Twelfth Annual Benjamin Menschel Distinguished Lecture with guest speaker Richard N. Haass: "Why Foreign Policy Begins at Home." Haass contends that the United States must sharply limit its engagement in foreign wars and humanitarian interventions in order to reclaim its role as the primary director of global events -- rather than being shaped by them -- and maintain that role in a world of unprecedented chaos and constant crisis. The lecture takes place on Thursday, May 9 at 6:30 pm (doors open at 6 PM) in The Great Hall – located in The Cooper Union's Foundation Building.
Dr. Richard Haass is a president of the Council on Foreign Relations, the preeminent independent, nonpartisan organization in the United States dedicated to the study of American foreign policy. Until 2003, Dr. Haass was director of policy planning for the Department of State as well as U.S. coordinator for policy toward the future of Afghanistan and U.S. envoy to the Northern Ireland peace process. He was also special assistant to President George H.W. Bush and senior director for Near East and South Asian affairs on the staff of the National Security Council from 1989 to 1993. Dr. Haass is the author or editor of twelve books on American foreign policy and one book on management. His most recent book is Foreign Policy Begins at Home: The Case for Putting America's House in Order. He regularly writes and speaks on global issues. A Rhodes scholar, he holds a BA from Oberlin College and both Master and Doctor of Philosophy degrees from Oxford University. He has received honorary degrees from Hamilton College, Franklin and Marshall College, Georgetown University, Oberlin College, Central College, and Miami Dade College.
The Benjamin Menschel Distinguished Lectureship is made possible through the generosity of the Horace W. Goldsmith Foundation. Now in its twelfth year, this highly regarded lecture series has provided a public platform for some of the most renowned scientists and prominent intellectuals of our time.
Located in The Great Hall, in the Foundation Building, 7 East 7th Street, between Third and Fourth Avenues

Our Royal Riviera® Pears revolutionized the idea of having a fruit gift delivered. In the 1930s, it was impossible to order pears or fresh fruit and have them shipped across the country. Our founders, Harry and David Holmes, changed that. Royal Riviera® Pears are "so big and juicy, you eat them with a spoon®." That's what our founders used to say, at least.
Today, our famous Oregon pears are carefully cultivated and tended by a team of agricultural experts and experienced orchardists. Handpicked at the peak of ripeness, the pears are placed in cold storage, which causes the sugars in each pear to become concentrated, resulting in sweeter, juicier fruit. For 80 years, we've been crafting fruit gifts based around our amazing pears. We've added a variety of gourmet treats in wide range of flavor profiles to our fruit baskets so that you have lots of options to choose from. The most popular fruit baskets are paired with award winning artisan cheeses.
If you want something more crunchy or savory with your pears, we offer fruit baskets that include crackers, nuts, salami, and our popular Moose Munch® Gourmet Popcorn. Order now and enjoy nationwide fresh fruit delivery that is backed by the strongest guarantee in the business. From the spiced flavor of crunchy Bosc pears to the creamy texture of our signature Comice pears, you can be sure that ordering a pear delivery from Harry & David is to order a taste of handpicked perfection.

Mr. Geert Wilders' warning to America and 10-point action plan
Mr. Geert Wilders' warning to America and 10-point action plan, was delivered on April 29, 2009, Florida. USA. Many of his talking points remain true today for reasons that might or might not be obvious to some (Hint: Barack Hussein Obama was elected in 2008 and reelected 2012.)
I. Mr. Geert Wilders' 10-point action plan
1. Stop cultural relativism. Acknowledge the fact that not all cultures are compatible with each other, and that Western dominant culture is rightfully based on the Judeo-Christian principles and humanism, and not on Shariah laws and savagery.
2. Stop pretending Islam is a religion. Islam is NOT a religion but a totalitarian political ideology (%90) masquerading as a religion (%10) with religious rituals. Therefore, it should be recognized and categorized as such, so that religious freedoms enjoyed in the West do NOT apply to Islam.
3. Stop the lies, taqiyya, propaganda and educate the public about the true face of Islam. While Islam is not comparable to any of the major true world religions (Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Taoism, Buddhism), it is comparable to other totalitarian ideologies (Fascism, Communism).
4. Stop mass immigration from Muslim countries.
5. Outlaw Shariah Law and deport its practitioners.
6. Ask immigrants to sign legally binding pledge of integration and allegiance to their new home country.
7. Stop building new mosques (many of which function as jihad centers that preach hatred, violence, and terrorism against non-Muslim host country) unconditionally.
8. For each new mosque to be built in the West, Saudi Arabia needs to reciprocate so that a new Church or Synagogue is built there.
9. Close all Islamic schools (many of which are madrassa, or Islamist brainwashing and indoctrinating setups to seed hatred, spread Wahhabism, and theologically train future jihadists)
10. Get rid of the weak, traitorous, corrupted, Shariah compliant leaders in the West.
II. Full speech, video:
III. Full speech, text:
'I wish I had come to a place they call they call ´sunshine state´ with better news but it would be very unwise to deny that the situation indeed is very gloomy, and it might take a while for you to understand the situation that we are in now. Maybe you as Americans still think that Europe is a place with a great culture and a profound way of looking at things. Maybe you see immigration as something that is inherently good for our country as it contributed so much for the United States, and I understand that. But Ladies and Gentleman the Europe as you know it from visiting Europe or from stories from your parents or friends or whoever, is on the verge of collapsing.
We are now witnessing profound changes that will forever alter Europe's destiny and might send the Continent in what Ronald Reagan once called: "A thousand years of darkness."
And the takeover of Europe, that is currently taking place, is part of a global fight, a global fight of Islam for World domination.
Let me tell you first, that Islam is not a religion. Islam is a totalitarian political ideology. Islam hearts lies at the Koran and the Koran is a book that calls for hatred, that calls for violence, for murder, for terrorism, for war and submission.
The Koran calls upon Muslims to kill Kuffars, non-Muslims. The Koran describes Jews as monkeys and pigs, and Churchill, and I agree with him, Churchill compared the Koran, the book in the 50's, to Adolf Hitlers book Mein Kampf.
Ladies and Gentleman the core of the problem with Islam is twofold, First, the commands of the Koran are not limited by place or time, they apply for all time, to all Muslims of the World.
Second, the Koran is Allah's personal words that leaves no room for interpretation, therefore, there is not such a thing as a moderate Islam. Of course, there are many moderate Muslims, but a moderate Islam does not exist.
As the Turkish Prime Minister Mr. Erdogan once rightfully said, he said: "There is no moderate Islam, Islam is Islam"
Apart from the Koran, the life of the Prophet Mohammed is very important for you to understand, in order to understand this terrible ideology. Mohammed plays the crucial part in this Islamic totalitarian ideology. Mohammed in fact is the role model for all Muslims in the World but, who was Mohammed? Mohammed, in fact was a pedophile, was a conqueror, was a Warlord and in establishing Islam he preached violence and the slaughter of non-Muslims.
He took part in 78 battles and slaughtered the Jewish tribe of Banu Qurayzah and Mohammed once said and I quote: "I have been ordered by Allah to fight against people until they testify that there is no God but Allah and that Mohammed is his messenger"
And, indeed, Mohammed's behavior inspired Iran's former leader the Ayatollah Khomeini to say and I quote: "The purest joy in Islam is to kill and be killed for Allah"
And Mohammed's behavior and the Koran inspired Jihadists all over the World to slaughter innocent people like they did in Washington, in New York, in Madrid, in London and in Mumbai.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Islam has always intended to conquer Europe and it has done so for centuries.
The Christian city of Constantinople fell in the 15 century and now in the 21st century. Islam is trying again, but this time, not with Armies, but through the application of Al Hijrah the Islamic doctrine of migration. As expounded so masterfully by my good friend Sam Solomon in his. The doctrine that is based on the example of Mohammed who himself migrated from Mecca to Medina.
Ladies and Gentlemen, the Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi said and he unfortunately is correct, and I quote: "We have 50 million Muslims in Europe and there are signs that Allah will grant Islam victory in Europe, without swords, without guns, without conquest. The 50 million Muslims of Europe will turn Europe into a Muslim continent within a few decades" Ladies and Gentlemen, unfortunately Gaddafi is right.
The Al-Hijrah doctrine is and has been very successful in Europe for the first time in World history there are dozens of millions of Muslims living far outside the dark area of Islam, the Islamic World, and that poses enormous problems to the West.
Ladies and Gentlemen Al-Hijrah may be the end of the western civilization as we know it, for Islam is not coming to our societies to integrate or to assimilate but wants to dominate, and wants to submit us all, and the most dramatic situation is the one in Europe today.
My country is in the process of becoming Hollandistan as Europe is becoming in the process of becoming Eurabia. Only 12% of the German Muslims see themselves more German than Muslims, and churches throughout Europe are emptying out whereas Mosques are shooting up like mushrooms. Many evil phenomena such as Burqas, honor killings, female genitalia mutilations are becoming more and more prevalent. Sharia testaments, Sharia mortgages, Sharia schools, Sharia banks, Sharia courts and even sharia Barbie dolls – Europe has them all today.
And I have not even mentioned the fact that for instance 70% of all crimes in the European city like Copenhagen are committed by Muslims. Indeed, we let in the Trojan Horse and the free World is now facing a Stealth Jihad, the Islamic attempt to introduce Sharia Law, bit by bit.
Allow me to give you a few examples also of the Islamization here in the United States:
Muslim taxi drivers in Minneapolis have refused over 5,000 passengers because they were carrying alcohol. Muslim students are demanding separate campus housing. Muslim women are demanding separate hours and gyms, and swimming pools. Schools are already banning Halloween and Christmas celebrations. Indeed, schools are taking pork off their cafeteria menus to avoid Muslim students.
Ladies and Gentlemen, be aware that this is only the beginning. If things continue like this, you will have the same problems that we are facing in Europe today. And if we do not stop the process of Islamization, I am sure we will lose everything, we will lose our identity, we will lose our culture, we will lose our Democratic Constitutions, we will lose our freedom, we will lose our Civilization.
In Europe we are already losing the fight for freedom of speech. We are losing the fight to criticize Islam and I think that criticizing religions and ideologies, always, always ought to be possible in a free World. Human rights exists for the protection of individuals, not religions and certainly not ideologies. so I propose that all the hate speech laws in Europe are to be repealed.
Europe ought to defend the freedom of speech.
In fact Europe should adopt a US model like the First Amendment. The difference between United States and Europe and the area of free speech is for instance shown by the example of my short film Fitna.
A few months ago, I was invited to show Fitna in the Senate, in your democratic Senate, by Senator Jon Kyl and in contrast to that the screening of my film Fitna was banned twice in the terrible European Parliament, and let us see to which the Freedom of Speech is exercised not only in Washington DC but also in Brussels and Strasbourg, and that is why we do need a European First Amendment.
Ladies and Gentlemen, there is one country in our Western Civilization that has been forced to fight the forces of Jihad for its values since the very day of its existence: Israel the Canary in the Coal Mine. Let me say a few words about that wonderful country.
I had the privilege myself to live in Israel for a few years and since then I have visited that country many many times. Why? Because I love it, I do love Israel.
However, in Europe, being Pro-American, being Pro-Israel makes you an endangered species. Israel is a Beacon of Light in an area, the Middle East, that is pitch black everywhere else.
Israel is a Western Democracy, whilst Syria, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and all the other countries in the region are medieval dictatorships. And the so -called Middle East conflict, as you all know it, is not about land at all. It's a conflict about, once again, about ideologies. It's a conflict and a battle between Islam and Freedom. It's not about some land in Gaza or Judea or Samaria, it's about Jihad.
To Islam the whole of Israel is occupied territory. They see Tel Aviv and Haifa as settlements as well, and I am very much in favor of a two state settlement solution but then the two state solution from Winston Churchill in 1921, when Palestine was partitioned into a Jewish and an Arab part, Arab Palestine, Ladies and Gentlemen, is now called Jordan and I think that Jordan is the Palestinian State.
Islam forces Israel to fight. Israel is not just fighting for itself, Israel is fighting for all of us, for the entire West, just like those brave American soldiers who landed in Sicily in 1943 and stormed the Normandy beaches in 1944.
Young Israeli men today, young Israeli Women today, are fighting for our freedom, are fighting for our civilization, and like Bosnia, like Kosovo, like Nigeria, like Sudan, like the Caucasus, like Kashmir, like Southern Thailand, like Western China and the South of the Philippines, Israel is situated exactly on the dividing line between Dar al-Islam, the Islamic World and Dar al-Harab, the non-Islamic World. It is no coincidence that it is precisely this dividing line, where blood is flowing and war is raging in many many areas.
And, we have to get rid of that politically correct fallacy that it is all about separate conflicts, it's not. Let us please allow ourselves at least to see the big picture, which is, that all those conflicts, have to do with Jihad, Jihad in the spirit of Mohammed. Ladies and Gentlemen, Europe ought to fully back Israel to the hilt and help us fight against those that threaten it, whether it's Hezbollah, whether it's Hamas, or Nuclear Iran. Also, because of it's history, Europe has certainly the moral duty and obligation to prevent at all cost, another Holocaust against the Jewish people.
Ladies and Gentlemen, still Islam is not our No. 1 problem, our No. 1 problem is called 'Cultural Relativism', the Elites that rule our countries have converted us to this sick philosophy a long time ago. Government leaders, Judges, even Churches, Trade Unions, Universities, the Media, all of them are blinded by political correctness and have chosen the side of Islam. They feel sorry for Muslims and pity them. 'Cultural Relativism' is weakening the West day by day. As a result of this 'Cultural Relativism' a little bit of the Free West dies everyday. Many Politicians, seem to believe, unfortunately, that their job is not to defend democracy but to help to make the transition to Sharia as smooth as possible.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I am often asked whether I have any answers to all the problems that I mention or what those answers might be. Well, let me tell you, I certainly have a lot of answers. Here are a few things that I believe we should do in the West, to stop the Islamization.
First, I have already said it, we have to stop the idea of 'Cultural Relativism'. Get rid of the misconception that all cultures are equal. They are not. Our culture based on Christianity, on Judaism and Humanism is far better than the Islamic culture. So we should stop it.
We should also stop pretending that Islam is a religion, sure, it has religious symbols, but it's not a religion. It is a totalitarian ideology and the right to religious freedom should not apply to Islam.
We should stop the mass immigration from Muslim countries. We have to stop it, today. No more immigrants from Muslim countries. We have to stop the Al-Hijah.
We have to encourage the voluntary repatriation. We have to expel criminals. We have to expel criminals with dual nationality even if we have to de-naturalize them and send them back to their homelands. I think we need a European First Amendment to strengthen our freedom of speech.
I think we have to have a contract, in any Western Country, a contract, a binding contract signed by everybody there, of Assimilation. We need a Pledge of Allegiance in all Western countries for people to adhere to our values as well.
We have to stop the building of new Mosques. We have to close the Mosques where incitement of violence is taking place.
We have to close down Islamic schools, for they are fascist institutions, where young people are brought up with an ideology of violence. And, last but not least, we have to get rid of the weak leaders that we have.
We have the privilege, until today, to live in a democracy, and let us use that privilege in order to exchange our own values.
We need indeed, in our Western World today, we need more leaders, we need more Churchill's and we need less Chamberlain's. We need strong leaders like we have here today, like Alan West and Adam Hasner, we need strong men like that.
Ladies and Gentlemen, in short, we have to go on the offensive, my message of this evening is that we have to go on the offensive. We have to start fighting back, there is no alternative other than fighting back. We must no longer allow ourselves to remain seated in our armchairs and get trampled over. If they bombard us with Sharia Law as they do, then we shall bombard them back with our Human Rights and our Freedom of Speech. if they bombard us with all their court cases we will bombard them back with all our court cases, against them. We have to fight back and show them indeed millions, millions of people…..
I assure you that I will continue my struggle for Freedom, and indeed a struggle it is.
After Fitna had been screened for the first time last year, there were threats. Don't ever dare to criticize Islam publicly, you will get threats of Economical Boycotts, your flag, like the dutch flag will be burnt all over the World You will be prosecuted, like I am to be prosecuted in my own home country, and also in France and Jordan, I face prosecution.
I have been barred from entering the United Kingdom, Lord Malcolm Pearson just spoke about it, but also barred from going to Indonesia.
The most radical Imam in the Netherlands is threatening to sue me and demanding a compensation, and a Parliamentary Bill, even today in the Netherlands in my own country, is currently being drafted with the aim of protecting Islam from criticism, and on top of all this, because of my view of Islam anybody else who dares to stand up and criticize Islam, Al-Qaeda is there determined to kill me, and others who speak out against Islam.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I told you I was going to be blunt, I was going to be tough, but there is no alternative for this. In spite all this bad news, fortunately there is also some good news I can share with you and there is no doubt in my mind that at the end of the day, even though it is five minutes to twelve, Freedom will prevail. There are already some hopeful signs.
For instance, last week, in my own Parliament in the Dutch Parliament, they accepted a motion, a resolution, proposed by my own Party, seeking to block any dialogue between Government Officials and Hamas. And, according to the most recent opinion polls, already for months now, if elections were to be held in the Netherlands today, my own Party, the Freedom Party, will be the largest Party in the Netherlands. So you might be looking at the next Prime Minister of the Netherlands. So, I ask you, if it can be done in the Netherlands, why not throughout the whole Western World.
If the Netherlands were the first country to end up the Multi-Culturalist Swamp why can't it be the first Country to find a way out. Why are there not other countries where people stand up and win the elections and make some changes.
Finally, Ladies and Gentlemen, of course, we in Europe, we in the Netherlands, I myself, have not forgotten to whom we owe our Liberties. Our Liberties were bitterly fought for by American Soldiers. American soldiers fought, bled, and died for the European freedom. American soldiers did not die for an Islamized Europe, they died for a free Europe. We owe, we owe something to those brave men, those brave American men, their legacy can not be squandered and cannot be given away. The third President and his spiritual father of this great Nation, once said and I quote: "The price of Freedom is eternal vigilance" as so often Thomas Jefferson was right.
Our freedom must be safeguarded, and it is, we, ourselves, as we are sitting here, that must do so, that must act. A period of inattention of dropping our guard, for even a short while, might cost us our freedom, just like that. It has happened before in history, please let us not allow it to happen again.
Everything we stand for has to be defended, everything we are, everything we have, with all our might, our identity, our culture, our democracy, our freedom and our civilization is at stake.
We owe it, Ladies and Gentlemen, to our children..
So Ladies and Gentlemen, I leave you with the expression of our determination. We will never give up, we will never give in, we will never never, ever, surrender. Thank You.'

Super Smash Bros. Gets Mario Galaxy Stage on Wii U
A new stage for the Wii U version of Super Smash Bros. has been revealed, and it's proving to be out of this world.
Terrible puns aside, directory Masahiro Sakurai uploaded a screenshot of a Mario Galaxy-inspired stage for Super Smash Bros. It was uploaded to the Super Smash Bros. Series community in Miiverse this morning and shows a few characters duking it out on one of the series' little, round planets.
According to Sakurai, the stage will feature a strong gravitational pull and "will require using brand-new tactics." We take that to mean that gravity will act as a stage hazard and keep fighters grounded at different points in a battle.
There's still quite some time before we see the release of Super Smash Bros. on Wii U and 3DS in 2014. Until then, let's just enjoy the stream of screenshots coming out from Nintendo.

A lot of passengers dont know most airlines make more money in business cargo that is flying below.
How we load is I roll my chair in to the jet way then on to the plane and with the front wheel drive I can turn so I am facing the isle and my Wife is able to help me transfer.
On trips where she is tired or we have a lot of carry on I will use a isle chair and they the opps agents will left me in to the seat then they will back out the chair.
The trick is when you check in that agent should be giving you a tag and tag your chair to "bring to the gate tag"
Before you land tell the flight attendants to radio the ground crew and make sure that chair is brought back up when you land.
Vs landing and they forgot, be proactive they have access to contact the ground crew while flying.
By the way we flew a lot with my m300 its a tank never had any damage or shroud damage to the paint!
I dont use a wheelchair so never had that experience, but I know a lot in our community over think and worry. Not to say things dont happen but with a little preparedness and not be rushed damage is minimal and always fixable free from the airlines.
A side note we have flown 2 power chairs from Phx to NYC and San Diego a lot because one is a normal daily chair m300 or now F3 and then an offroad chair x5 for beach use in Coney Island or beach towns in California!
Plus have fought with Supershuttle now only charges us for one van vs 2!

The most elastic Merino technical clothing of all time!
The products from the 105 MERINO ULTRA line have a material weight of 105 g/m², making them highly versatile from summer through to winter. What's special about this product line is the use of Nuyarn. This yarn is the most exclusive in our range. In an innovative manufactoring process the finest wool fibers are spun around a polyamide core. The resulting yarn allows us to create fabrics that are LIGHTER but at the same time MORE VOLUMINOUS. The result is more warmth and comfort. In addition, the core improves many wool properties: the yarn becomes MORE ELASTIC, STABLE, LESS SUSCEPTIBLE TO PILLING and DRIES 5X FASTER than conventional merino yarn. In short: the best merino yarn of all time!
The 105 MERINO ULTRA SHORT SLEEVE is so light that you will hardly believe you are wearing almost pure merino wool. Thanks to a completely innovative manufacturing process, we have managed to produce an elastic material from merino wool that is lighter than ever before while at the same time stable. This Tasmanian merino wool t-shirt is extremely versatile: depending on the intensity of physical exertion, it is suitable for mountain sports both in summer and in winter. The first choice for functional underwear, when light weight and high functionality really count!
Incidentally, 100% of the merino wool from this collection comes from the Australian island of Tasmania. The wool from this natural paradise is high-quality, thin (18 microns), and tear-resistant. But just as important for ORTOVOX, the material is ethically and ecologically sound. We have very high expectations for the farmers. A large portion of their working time is committed to ensuring sustainable farm management and animal welfare.
Material properties
- Dries 5x faster than conventional merino yarn
- Durable: 16 % stronger and less abrasion
- 35 % stretchier
- No odors: 85 % merino wool neutralizes odors
- UV-protection Up to 50+ UPF
- Tasmanian Merino
Merino Wool is...
- Odor neutralizing
- Moisture regulating
- Temperature regulating
- Soft
- Easy to care for
- Sustainable raw material
Area of usage
Extremely technologically- advanced yarn: nuyarn®
The finest merino wool is spun around a polyamide core.

Some people may experience side effects other than those listed. Check with your doctor if you notice any symptom that worries you while you are taking this medication.
Are there any other precautions or warnings for this medication?
Before you begin using a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should use this medication.
Drowsiness/reduced alertness: Bupropion may affect the mental or physical abilities needed to drive or operate machinery. Avoid driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous tasks until you have determined how this medication affects you.
Heart disease: It is not known whether bupropion is safe for use by people with a recent history of heart attack or unstable heart disease. If you have heart problems, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Identical medications: Wellbutrin®, Zyban® and several other medications contain the same active ingredient (bupropion). If you are taking one of these medications, do not take the other or any other product containing bupropion, as the risk of seizures increases with an increased dosage. To reduce the risk of seizures, the total daily dose of this medication should not be greater than 300 mg.
Kidney function: Bupropion is removed from the body by the kidney. Decreased kidney function can cause this medication to build up in the body, causing side effects. If you have kidney disease, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Liver or kidney disease: Bupropion is removed from the body by the liver. Decreased liver function can cause this medication to build up in the body, causing side effects. If you have liver disease, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
This medication may also cause a decrease in liver function. If you experience symptoms of liver problems such as fatigue, feeling unwell, loss of appetite, nausea, yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes, dark urine, pale stools, abdominal pain or swelling, and itchy skin, contact your doctor immediately.
Seizure risk: This medication may increase the risk of seizures. If you are at risk of seizures, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Things which increase the risk of seizures include:
- addiction to cocaine, stimulants, or opiates (such as morphine)
- diabetes treated with oral medications or insulin
- excessive alcohol use
- history of head trauma or seizures (including epilepsy)
- severe liver problems
- tumours of the brain or spinal cord
- use of other medications that make seizures more likely (e.g., antipsychotics, antidepressants, lithium, theophylline, steroids)
- use of over-the-counter stimulants or appetite suppressants
Stopping the medication: Stopping this medication suddenly may lead to side effects. If you are thinking of stopping the medication, check with your doctor first.
Suicidal or agitated behaviour, or other behaviour changes: Adults and children taking this medication may feel agitated (restless, anxious, aggressive, emotional, and feeling not like themselves), or they may want to hurt themselves or others. These symptoms may occur within several weeks after people start taking this medication. If you experience these side effects or notice them in a family member who is taking this medication, contact your doctor immediately. Your doctor will monitor you for emotional and behavioural changes while you are taking bupropion.
Pregnancy: The safety of bupropion during pregnancy has not been established. It has been reported that babies born to pregnant women who have taken medications of this kind during the last trimester of pregnancy may be adversely affected. Physicians and pregnant women should carefully consider the benefits and the risks of all treatment options. If you become pregnant while taking this medication, contact your doctor immediately.
Breast-feeding: Bupropion passes into breast milk. Because this medication presents risks to breast-feeding infants, a decision should be made whether to discontinue breast-feeding or to discontinue bupropion, taking into account the importance of the medication to the mother. Talk to your doctor about whather you should continue breast-feeding.
Children: The safety and effectiveness of bupropion have not been established for children and adolescents under 18 years old. The use of this medication in children below the age of 18 may cause behavioural and emotional changes, such as suicidal thoughts and behaviour.
Seniors: Because this medication is removed from the body by the kidney and liver, seniors may be at an increased risk of side effects, including seizures, if they use this medication. If you are over 65, discuss with your doctor whether any special monitoring is required.
What other drugs could interact with this medication?
There may be an interaction between bupropion and any of the following:
If you are taking any of these medications, speak with your doctor or pharmacist. Depending on your specific circumstances, your doctor may want you to:
- stop taking one of the medications,
- change one of the medications to another,
- change how you are taking one or both of the medications, or
- leave everything as is.
An interaction between two medications does not always mean that you must stop taking one of them. Speak to your doctor about how any drug interactions are being managed or should be managed.
Medications other than those listed above may interact with this medication. Tell your doctor or prescriber about all prescription, over-the-counter (non-prescription), and herbal medications you are taking. Also tell them about any supplements you take. Since caffeine, alcohol, the nicotine from cigarettes, or street drugs can affect the action of many medications, you should let your prescriber know if you use them.

Blume Bauer's Review
August 22, 2015
I really like this product. I have been having difficulty with sensitivity to mascara and eye makeup products, and this one seems to be doing well. I did have one tear up, but it was during a wedding and I had to rinse my eyes off - but who doesn't cry at weddings? I like how thick it makes my lashes and the color is deep black which I love. The brush really extends the lashes. Very nice product. I would call it luxe.
