A different kind of strength: shave the few soft but strong hairs that are finally ready.
Now gone to the floor.
No tears.
You'll be seeing more posts here in the near future about some of my feelings over the last two months. I'm starting to feel more like myself. The vertigo is lessening with the decrease I've been able to make in the pain medication, as we'd hoped. I've reduced the pain meds by 20% and the hope is that as the radiation effects start to kick in I will be able to decrease more. It's been five weeks now since I finished radiation. I needed these Fentanyl patches desperately while the tumors were out of control. I could not have done it any other way. But certainly we all want me only using the amount I need to control my current level of pain.
I will be going back to meet again with my palliative care doctors this week to reassess my pain meds and talk about the plan for the next few weeks. I was thrilled to see that my last post about the importance of early palliative care and its definition (not end-of-life pain management… but instead total patient care pain management) was so well-received by patients and doctors alike. I encourage both sides to really form a team and focus on all side effects that patients are having with all kinds of treatment.
Patients function better not only emotionally but also physically in that they will heal better if their bodies are not weakened by pain. It takes trial and error to find the right drugs and the right amounts. It takes patience. Most palliative care doctors are experts in patience, I have fortunately found. I know that is not always the case and I always receive emails and comments from people who have had distressing experiences with their care. I am so sorry for that. I am hoping by relaying my own experiences, readers who have not yet found help with pain will have strength to ask again or pursue help if they've been unable to.
I've started my second month of chemotherapy (Taxol). I do three weekly treatments in a row and then have one week off each month. I had my first infusion of my second month on Thursday. I haven't had any additional reactions to the chemo so I've been able to have the sessions done rather quickly (30 minutes for the 3 pre-medications and then 60 minutes for the actual Taxol). Sometimes I go alone and sometimes I have a friend join me. I am developing a routine and it has worked well so far.
We still have a lot of snow on the ground and on sunny days like today the brightness is astounding. We are all anxious for Spring but it's just not here yet (more snow due to arrive this week). I am thinking of my snowdrops and daffodils just waiting under the snow pack. The photo at left is from last year… can't wait to see this in the front yard again soon.
For today I'm sporting a head scarf and getting used to seeing a new reflection looking back at me in the mirror.
Make the most of this day. Whatever that means to you, whatever you can do. No matter how small it seems to you. Don't waste it.

I am glad to hear your pain and the vertigo have lessened. Soak in the warm rays today. I saw some snow drops in my neighbor's yard in a bare patch of grass near her house and it was thrilling. And there are tiny buds on my lilac tree.
Spring is coming.
Glad the vertigo is receding. i look forward to spotting the daffodils with you.
Love you, pretty lady.
Glad to hear from you again. So good that you have been able to decrease pain meds again.
I hope you will experience spring soon. Here in the Netherlands we have had one of the warmest winters in centuries. No snow at all!
I will have a CT scan tomorrow and may need to switch from Xeloda to Taxol soon, depending on the outcome of the scan. Good to read your experiences!
Lisa it's so nice to hear from you up and about on this Sunday. I injured my knee pretty bad last week and I've been limping around in pain but when I read your blogpost and tweets, I get a reality check and realize more than ever that I have little to moan about in the grand scheme of things. Thanks for always putting things in perspective. I hope you realize that your blog posts and tweets are more than just words. They hit home in several ways. Have the best Sunday you can and remember we all love and support you out here in cyberspace! Hugs fron Florida xxxx
Thrilled to hear that you're feeling better, that the vertigo and pain are subsiding.
Sending you love.
I am always amazed by the amount of grace you exude in your writing. No matter what your day or week has brought you, your grace always shines brightly.
Such lovely news to read that you're feeling better. So thankful for that.
You're in my thoughts daily.
Beautiful post, Thank you!
So happy to hear that your pain has lessened, which in turn, has meant easing up of meds-induced vertigo. I hope that this means you can enjoy your family and Lucy even more. xo
Morning Lisa thank you so much for posting. it's great to hear from you. There is a woman here in Minnesota who makes headbands that cover part or most of your head that are stretchy and soft and really neat- it is called urban halo- they come in zippy patterns too. Goggle them if you like- I ove them.i have met several folks from my hospitals palliative care team.They are awesome! I am so fortunate. I know we will get to know each other better. For now they are in the wings- ready to come out when needed. Since my stroke I have had nerve pain on my left side I take some meds for it- it comes and goes but when it comes and stays present as you sad it is something on my psyche.
When you mentioned you flowers under the snow- I thought of a beautiful song sung by Bette milder in the movie about Janis Joplin- called The Rose. "Far beneath the bitter snow lies the seed that with the suns love in the spring becomes the rose." – if you haven't heard it- I recommend you tube or just reading the lyrics. More thoughts on patience.I hope today is peaceful and full of light. oxoxP
Thank you for this heart warming post on this cold and snowy day in Vancouver, Canada. I have to agree with Patti – your grace always shines brightly. It's so good to hear you're beginning to feel better.
I too have suffered a few set backs, but will continue to journey ever upward and onward. I will make the very most of this day, Lisa. It helps me to think of you as a kindred spirit.
So nice to see you feeling well enough to post an update. Pain care is such a touchy thing. No one wants to get addicted to painkillers and yet there is definitely a time and place when they are necessary.
Looking forward to seeing new photos of your daffodils when this snow is finally gone for the year. Just another week or two before the maple syrup places will be open again so I know it's coming.
Holding you in my heart always.
Thank you for your post. You have been on my mind. I was thinking yesterday how much I miss you when you are quiet, and I know I am one of many who feels that way. Sending you love and thanks. Wishing you the best possible outcomes, and time, lots of time, for you and your family to share. xo.
Thank you for posting. It is difficult to find words. You do it so well. My wife has been on and off chemo for 8 years. We are happy to say that but it has not easy.
Hi Lisa!
I just wanted to say hi to you. My name is Tracy from Santa Monica, CA, going through Stage IV BC too. I found through the press on those despicable NY Times reporters an well…I just wanted to say hi to you. Your blog is beautiful and so are you. Thanks for carrying the flag for us. I am with you always – even if you don't know me. ( plus my maden name was Metchek, which kinda sounds like Bonchek) .
Tracy Frank
And I sent you my new little blog that I recently started ….
Thanks for your positive spirit. I hope you know how much you help others by sharing your own thoughts and feelings. Btw, have you heard the birds out there today? A sure sign of spring!
Lovely to hear from you. Sending masses of good thoughts and support from here!
Thank you Lisa. This brought back the memory when our razor came out, after weeks of fretting about losing my beautiful hair and then a couple of days watching it shed itself all over the house, shaving day was a relief. I went to my vanity, put on my biggest smile and took of picture of my newly bald head. I save that picture, as a reminder of the beauty I saw in it. The strength. The determination to finish my chemo. I know it is not all about the hair but it was a big deal to me at the time. For a while anyway.
I'm glad that your vertigo is getting a little better and that you have found a new routine in getting to your treatments. You are in my thoughts daily. xo
Thinking of you every day.
Thank you for the update! I'm glad to hear the vertigo has lessened.
I admire your spirit! Glad you are experiencing some pain relief and feeling more like yourself again. My wish for you: time …..LOTS of it!!!
The promise of spring and the return of flowers has remarkable healing power for the soul. I hope your pain continues to lessen as does the dosages on the meds. You're right, you have to keep the pain in check to give your body the strength it needs to do everything else.
Keep fighting the good fight.
Hi Lisa. Thank you for this post. It reminded me that there are babies under the snow ready to pop when the time is right. This harsh winter has made it difficult for me to daydream, even though my office looks out upon the wooded backyard where the daffodils and hyacinths and allium are waiting. But for now, I'll not waste the day lamenting — I'll enjoy the sunshine on the snow. The drifts and icicles will be hard to imagine come the dog days of July and August. Thank you for inducing this moment of mindfulness in my life. You have that power over all of us. Sending all positive thoughts today and every day. 🙂
Thinking of you today!
What a relief that your pain is managed and you are surrounded by such a great team in reference to your care. I am sure the hair loss is no picnic but I understand it is necessary for your treatment. Thank you for keeping us in the loop. Sending you tons of love and light! xoxo – Susan
With scarves, with stubble, with horns or antlers, you're beautiful inside and out. Glad to hear the pain receding, and looking forward to seeing you smile at blooms again. xo
Losing your hair is a minor inconvenience compared to what you're been through. You'll sail through it with style.
Damn Taxol.
Damn cancer.
Glad to hear that things are getting better for you and that you are not in as much pain as before. May it continue to only get better and better.
I am so glad that you are feeling more like yourself and that your posts here resonate with so many.
I have a friend who was diagnosed with Stage III breast cancer last week, she is younger than me (so, early 40s) with 2 young sons at home. She is having a port placed this week in anticipation of chemo preceding a lumpectomy and radiation. I feel like I am a much better support to her for reading your blog.
Thoughts, prayers, and loads of healing energy being sent your way. You know that all you have to do is call me if you want or need anything – you or the kids.
Your positive and encouraging words regarding Palliative Care doctors is what I needed to contact them here in Pittsburgh, PA. My husband has stage 4 lung cancer that has now spread to his liver. He is also on Taxol.
YOU will be in my prayers.
Fran Kraus
Dear Lisa, thank you for the reminder to find something good about every day. I'm looking out on a dark, windswept and wet landscape this morning and Spring seems very far away. But there are a few streaks of dawn in the sky and hopefully there will be some sunshine. Best wishes from Ireland – keep well.
Hi Lisa, I happened upon your blog through facebook. It is beautiful, you are beautiful. I am not sure if our paths crossed in college but I was on swim team with your husband (he may not remember me because I was not a very strong swimmer like him and I kept to myself — also, I am sorry to hear about the sudden death of his mother). I am now a pharmacologist doing research on neurodegeneration and breast cancer (as 2 separate subjects). As a researcher, it is important to me to see the disease through the patients' eyes. Thank you for sharing your journey.
I'm happy that you are feeling better 🙂
Thank you for making a path for me. I learned experientially this week what you had described as not enough energy to write, after my second taxol infusion. My strength is rallied when I think of you. My hair came off too, it was a big wake up call. I am a worthy opponent. Thank you, Lisa.
Loved your post. Finding the right amount of narcotic to supplement your natural endorphins when your body grows more pain receptors in response to new internal changes is a very slow process. Balancing break through short acting doses with long acting doses takes time. Thank you for sharing your courage and support for all.

The Scatter Raid is an all new event in the Raid Adventures line up, adopting a scatter scoring format. Open to teams of 2 or Solo entrants, competitors will race to collect as many check points as possible over a 3 hour time period. The scatter course introduces a different element of strategy to the race, with teams able to work to their strengths across the disciplines of mountain biking, kayaking and running. Falling just two weeks before the Rogue Raid, the Scatter Raid makes for the perfect last hit-out to polish your adventure racing skills. Note that this is a stand alone event run on the same day and course as the Colts Raid.
Similar to a traditional rogaine, a scatter format course allows competitors to collect any check point they wish. However, instead of assigning each check point a score value, all check points are of equal value. Some versions of a scatter course have competitors racing to collect a set number of check points in the quickest time possible, however the Scatter Raid gives competitors up to 3 hours to collect as many check points as they can.
Note: Teams will be provided double kayaks and associated paddling equipment. Solo competitors must provide their own boat.

Political game designers Molleindustria have produced a beautifully disturbing video game that reflects the soul-sucking monotony of corporate cubicle life.
In their own words, Every Day The Same Dream "is a slightly existential riff on the theme of alienation and refusal of labor. The idea was to charge the cyclic nature of most video games with some kind of meaning (i.e. the 'play again' is not a game over). Yes, there is an end state, you can 'beat' the game."
To complete this sad story the player must stray from their well-worn routine. Becoming inevitably numb to the world around you will bring you closer to the end — both figuratively and literally.
The monochrome game features a delightfully dark and eerie soundtrack and was made in less than a week as an entry for the Experimental Gameplay Project. You can play it online, or download it for either Mac or PC.

hello!! I'm a 20 year old canadian girl traveling to oz in february 07. Im working in france right now saving up as much money as i can trying not to piss it all away... hmmm its hard. So just wondering if I bring 5000 ausd like they say you should... but so it seems you dont need this as many of the comments on various posts have said...but if i do bring that and plan on working how far you think this will get me. I really want to stay a year. Is this really far fetched?? I will work lots and be somewhat sensible with the spending. and I will be staying at a place 115 aus a week.
Another quiestion I couldnt answer myself by looking through the posts is if people recommend staying in a hostel or sharing a flat and paying something like 115 a week... I really have no idea what to do about that.
Also will i have to get a bank account when I am there or should I get one before i come...or can i not get one....
Thanks so much if anyone can answer my silly quiestions.
oh right and if anyone is looking for a site to find a flat mate www.easyroommate.com is really a good one! (i think so)... i do

1 Person Reviewed This Product
Jul 8, 2013By russ19 This book is fantastic. I began flying RC helicopters nine months ago. It is an extremely difficult and challenging hobby. It requires a tremendous amount of time practicing to develope the fine motor skills and muscle memory necessary for basic flight. It also requires a lot of knowledge about building, setting up, and maintaining the helicopters. On top of that programming the computerized transmitter is yet another topic to master. This is a hobby that punishes slight mistakes and missing knowledge with sudden and expensive crashes, yet until now a comprehensive book about it didn't exist. This wonderful ebook takes you step by step, complete with beautiful pictures, through the process of advancing in this hobby from where the first volume (FAQs 101) left off. It is written in a fast paced question and answer format that gently leads the reader down a carefully thought out pathway that supplies the essential information to get started the best way possible. Oh how I wish... More > that this book was available when I started. It would have saved the expense of numerous crashes and countless hours of tedious rebuilding. The book provides more knowledge in several hours of reading than I was able to obtain from months of laboriously studying the excellent helicopter forums. It makes a very complex hobby understandable and reasonable. I began reading the book thinking that it would be a nice review of what I already know as I have researched this hobby a lot but I learned many new pearls of wisdom that have been extremely helpful. If anyone is interested in this fascinating hobby this book is a must read. I highly recommend it.< Less

1. What Fragmin is and what it is used for............................................................
Fragmin is a solution for injection. Its active ingredient is dalteparin sodium.
Fragmin belongs to a group of medicines called low molecular weight heparins or antithrombotics, which
help prevent the formation of blood clots by thinning the blood.
Venous thromboembolism is a condition where blood clots develop in the legs (deep vein thrombosis) or
the lungs (pulmonary embolism), e.g. after surgery, prolonged bed rest or in patients with certain types of
Fragmin is used to prevent blood clots (venous thromboembolism) forming before and after an
operation or if you are bedridden due to illness and to prevent their recurrence.
The 5000 IU product can also be used for:
Prevention of deep vein thrombosis in patients bedridden due to a medical condition but not limited to,
for example heart failure and respiratory failure.
Treatment of patients with solid tumours who suffer from low platelet counts.
Ask your doctor if you are unsure why you have been given Fragmin.
2. What you need to know before you are given or use Fragmin
You should not be given Fragmin:
Other medicines that may interfere with Fragmin include:
Those used to treat angina (intravenous nitroglycerine)
Antibiotics such as high dose penicillin which are used to treat bacterial infections.
Anti-malarials (e.g. quinine)
Tobacco smoking
if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to the active ingredient dalteparin sodium or a similar product or any
of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
if you have an active stomach ulcer or ulcer of the duodenum (small intestine).
if you have suffered from a brain haemorrhage (bleeding in your brain).
if you have fluid mixed with blood that appears around heart and lungs.
if you suffer from any condition which may cause you to bleed more easily (e.g. haemophilia, liver
failure). Ask your doctor if you are unsure.
if you have a condition called septic endocarditis (an infection and inflammation of the lining of the
heart and heart valves). Your doctor will have told you if you have this.
if you have had a condition called "heparin-induced thrombocytopenia" (a decrease in the number of
clotting cells (platelets) in your blood caused by heparin, which may cause you to bruise and bleed
more easily). Your doctor will have told you if you have this.
if you have an injury to, or have had an operation involving your spine, head, eyes or ears.
If you are receiving Fragmin to treat blood clots, you should not have a local, spinal or epidural
If you are given this medicine as part of your cancer treatment your doctor will check that you weigh more
than 40 kg, and that you have not had a stroke within the last 3 months.
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse before you are given or use Fragmin:
if you have conditions which make you more susceptible to bleeding e.g:
after an operation or trauma
a stroke caused by a bleed
a brain tumour
severe liver or kidney failure
abnormal or low numbers of platelets (clotting cells)
eye disease caused by blood pressure or diabetes
taking other medicines that thin the blood (e.g. aspirin, warfarin, dipyridamole)
uncontrolled high blood pressure.
if you have been told by your doctor that you have a lot of potassium in your blood or have a low blood
pH. Your doctor will monitor your blood regularly before and during treatment.
if you have ever had an operation to insert an artificial heart valve.
if you need to have any other injections.
You may need to have blood tests to monitor the effects of Fragmin:
if you have kidney failure or liver problems
if you are very thin or morbidly obese
if you are pregnant
if you are at increased risk of bleeding or rethrombosis (more blood clots)
if you are a child
if you have blood problems due to cancer treatment.
3. How Fragmin is given to you..............................................................................
Your medicine will usually be administered by a doctor or nurse or you may be shown how to give the
injection yourself at home (See Section on How to Inject Fragmin). The amount of Fragmin you receive
will depend on your body weight.
Fragmin is given as a single, once daily, subcutaneous injection, which means it is injected beneath the
skin. It is usually injected into a skin fold in your abdomen (stomach), or the outer aspects of your thigh. It
should not be injected into your muscles.
Use in adults and the elderly
To prevent blood clots (venous thromboprophylaxis)
Patients with a moderate risk of developing a clot:
The recommended dose is 2,500 IU one to two hours before the operation, then 2,500 IU each morning.
This is continued for five to seven days, or until you are fully able to move about.
Patients with a greater risk of developing a clot e.g. those who have had clots in the past:
For this type of patient, the recommended dose is 2,500 IU one to two hours before the operation, the
same dose 8 to 12 hours later, then 5,000 IU each morning. As an alternative, 5,000 IU may be given the
evening before the operation, then 5,000 IU on following evenings. The first dose (2500 IU) may also be
given as soon as possible after your operation and is to be continued for five to seven days, or until you
are able to move about.
Hip Replacement Surgery
After a hip operation, your doctor may decide to continue treating you with Fragmin for five weeks using a
dose of 5,000 IU every evening. If you have an artificial heart valve, the normal dose for prevention of
blood clots is not sufficient. Your doctor will discuss this with you.
The maximum dose you will be given in a 12 hour period is 10,000 IU.
If you are bedridden due to illness, the dose of Fragmin given will be 5,000 IU daily. The length of
treatment will be up to 14 days, depending on your illness.
These are typical doses for adults, including elderly patients. Your doctor will work out the right dose for
you. Some of the liquid in the syringe may have to be expelled before the injection is given.
To treat blood clots (venous thromboembolism) in certain types of cancer and prevent recurrence
The usual dose used to treat venous thromboembolism in cancer is 200 IU (international units) for every
kilogram you weigh (see table below) once daily during the first month after a thromboembolic event
(blood clot), followed by 150 IU for every kilogram you weigh (during months 2-6).

Dose (IU)
This treatment course is not recommended for patients weighing less than 40 kg.
The maximum daily dose is 18,000 IU. The recommended duration of treatment is 6 months. If you are
suffering from severe kidney disease or a decreased platelet count (clotting cells) caused by
chemotherapy or another condition with an elevated bleeding risk, your doctor will adjust this dose
Children and adolescents
In some cases of decreased platelet count (clotting cells), your doctor may interrupt your treatment with
Fragmin for a short period.
Dosing recommendations in children are based on clinical experience; there are limited data from clinical
trials, which will help your doctor calculate the dose of Fragmin.
Medical staff may take blood samples during your treatment to monitor the effects of Fragmin.
Other medicines and Fragmin
How to Inject Fragmin
Tell your doctor, pharmacist or nurse if you are taking, have recently taken or are planning to take or use
any other medicines. This includes medicines that you have bought for yourself.
This section of the leaflet explains how you should go about injecting Fragmin yourself, but you should
only do so if you have been given permission by your doctor. It is a simple process and one that you can
do at home.
Some medicines can affect the way Fragmin works, or Fragmin itself can reduce the effectiveness of
other medicines taken at the same time.
Medicines that increase the effect of Fragmin include:
Those used to thin your blood (e.g. aspirin, dipyridamole, glycoprotein receptor antagonists and
Medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) used to reduce pain and inflammation
(e.g. indometacin).
Some medicines for gout (e.g. sulfinpyrazone and probenecid).
Etacrynic acid (a water retention tablet (diuretic)).
Solutions given to increase the blood volume (e.g. dextrans).
Medicines known as cytostatics (used in cancer treatment).
Thrombolytic medications for treating transmural heart attack (e.g. TPA-tissue plasminogen activator).
Medicines that can reduce the effect of Fragmin include:
Those for allergy and hay fever (e.g. antihistamines).
Those used for heart or circulation problems (e.g. digoxin or digitoxin).
Antibiotics known as tetracyclines which are used to treat bacterial infections.
Vitamin C (e.g. some vitamin supplements).
Fragmin is given by a small injection under the skin. You should inject (or give) the dose of Fragmin at the
time recommended by your doctor. Please follow the steps explained below.
Gather the single dose Fragmin syringe and the yellow sharps bin.
Wash and dry your hands. The injection site should be cleaned.
Please note that if a carer is doing the injecting, it is recommended that they wear gloves to perform the
Step 1:
Get yourself in a comfortable sitting down position where you can see
your stomach.
Do not store above 25°C.
Your doctor or nurse will store Fragmin in a safe place under the above conditions.
Medicines should not be disposed of via wastewater or household waste. Ask your pharmacist how to
dispose of medicines no longer required. These measures will help to protect the environment.
Step 2:
Choose an injection site either on your stomach or outer aspects of your left
or right thigh (see shaded areas). Your stomach is usually best as the
injection site and it is important that you change the site each time.
6. Contents of the pack and other information....................................................
What Fragmin contains
The active ingredient in Fragmin is dalteparin sodium. Each syringe contains 5,000 IU (International units)
of dalteparin sodium in 0.2 ml of solution.
The other ingredients are: sodium hydroxide, hydrochloric acid and water for injections.
What Fragmin looks like and contents of the pack
Fragmin is available as a clear, colourless solution in pre-filled, glass, single dose syringes with grey
rubber stopper, each containing 0.2ml of dalteparin sodium solution.
10 syringes are packed in each box.
Step 3:
Pick up the syringe and remove the grey rubber cover by pulling it straight off. You will notice an air
bubble in the syringe. It is supposed to be there and you can just ignore it. It is important not to press the
plunger just yet as some of the medicine may be lost.
Manufactured by: Pfizer Manufacturing Belgium NV, Rijksweg 12, B-2870 Puurs, Belgium
Step 4:
Product Licence Holder: Sam Pharma Ltd, Unit 20 Garrick Industrial Estate, Irving Way, Hendon,
London, NW9 6AQ.
Hold the syringe in one hand and with the other hand, gently pinch a fold of skin with its fatty tissue (see
the shaded areas above) between your thumb and index finger. This will be the injection site.
Procured from within the EU and repackaged by: Amimed Direct Ltd, Hendon, London, NW9 6AQ
Step 5:
Hold the syringe above the folded skin keeping it at a right angle (ie
vertically as in the diagram and not at an angle). Insert the needle into
the skin until the needle is fully inserted.
Now press the plunger and inject the Fragmin slowly until all of the medicine has been injected. Keep
pinching the fold of skin while you are injecting and then release the fold of skin and pull the needle out.
If there is any oozing of blood at the injection site, apply gentle pressure. Do not rub the injection site as
this may encourage bruising.
Dispose of the syringe in the yellow sharps bin provided. Keep your sharps bin out of reach of other
people. When the sharps bin is almost full please speak to your doctor or nurse.
Children and adolescents
The dose will be based on both the child's age and weight. Younger children may need slightly more
Fragmin per kg than adults. Your doctor will work out the right dose for you.
Medical staff may take blood samples during your treatment to monitor the effects of Fragmin.
If you are given more Fragmin than you should
If you feel that you have been given more Fragmin than you should, inform your doctor or nursing staff
immediately. Your doctor may initiate measures to decrease the risk of bleeding.
If you forget to use Fragmin
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you think that a dose has been forgotten.
A double dose should not be given to make up for a forgotten dose.
If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, ask your doctor, pharmacist or nurse.

(such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the lips, mouth, throat or eyes).
Common side effects (may affect up to 1 in 10 people):
A reversible decrease in the number of clotting cells (platelets) in your blood (Type I
thrombocytopenia). This may make you bruise more easily.
Bleeding at any site
Certain substances produced by your liver may increase
Pain and reactions at the injection site
Haematoma – you may notice blood collecting under the skin
Uncommon side effects (may affect up to 1 in 100 people):

An immune system problem resulting in a severe decrease in the number of clotting cells (platelets) in
your blood (Type II thrombocytopenia)
Alopecia (hair loss)
Painful skin lesions
Not known (frequency cannot be estimated from the available data):
Bleeding inside or around your brain, symptoms may include sudden severe headache
Bleeding behind your abdomen (stomach), symptoms may include a feeling of tenderness and swelling
around your stomach.
Bruising of the spine which may lead to back pain, tingling, numbness or weakness in your legs, bowel
or bladder problems
If you have an artificial heart valve, treatment with Fragmin might not be sufficient to prevent a blood clot,
and you might develop a clot in the heart valve.
The adverse reactions in children are expected to be the same as in adults, however there is only a little
information about the possible side effects of long term use in children.
If you get any side effects, talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse. This includes any possible
side effects not listed in this leaflet.

Tracey Emin has been recognised with a CBE in the New Year honours list, continuing a long tradition of honouring people who, by definition, have been handsomely rewarded already. According to the citation, the charmless artist is being honoured for her services to the self-promotion business, with special mention of her "getting pissed and being gobby with it".
Her most celebrated piece - A Note To The Milkman - assured her not merely of notoriety in artistic circles, but also succeeded in its primary aim of getting her milkman to leave two extra pints and a pot of yoghurt. A work of juvenalia - Shopping List - offered tantalising hints of the major oeuvre that was to come.
Ms Emin has encouraged other talentless 'artists' to exhibit unmade beds, dirty underwear and unwashed pots, leading to a student bedsit in Coventry being designated a West Midland annexe of the Tate Gallery.
In her acceptance speech an emotional Ms Emin told the gentlemen of the press to "fuck off", before falling off the stage...

warner brothers
AdamR points us to this story about the Smallville creators suing Warner Brothers -- the creators claim that they were cheated out of the "fair-market price" for the show and are demanding additional compensation for the successful show, which was just renewed for its 10th season. The lawsuit alleges that since WB owns both the studio that creates the show and the networks that air it, the negotiated price for the show was not fair. Hollywood has had a long history of wrestling with matters of vertical integration, with the the 1948 anti-trust case United States v. Paramount Pictures taking down the classic "studio system" that prevailed during that era. So, to accommodate the anti-trust regulations, negotiations between studios and networks must be held at "arms length." In recent days, the producers from Home Improvement, Will & Grace and The X-Files have won settlements worth millions of dollars in similar suits. That said, it's ridiculous to claim that fair-market price was not negotiated -- the fair-market price was whatever the producers could get for it, at the time that the show was sold, before it proved to be a huge hit. The producers accepted and signed the deal when it was negotiated. If a show appreciates in value after the deal is already done, why should the original producer get a piece of that upside? The network assumed the risk in this case when they negotiated the deal. What the producers are seeking is akin to a baseball player trying to renegotiate a previous season's contract after having a great season -- it doesn't make sense. If this tactic were ok, then networks should try and recoup money from the producers of all of the shows that have failed. If the producers want more money, then they need to negotiate for it in future contracts, and that should be easier to do with a hit show under their belts.

ContingencyIf you haven't got the sense to get a contingency clause written in to the contract to cover this then it's your own fault.
Bob Mongoose, 30 Mar 2010 @ 5:27am
Re: ContingencyI disagree. The problem is that the studios do hold a monopoly here. The reason monopolies are bad is because they amass power to gain the ability to force you to sign an undervalued contract.
Senator Franken has brought up the issues he lived through at SNL when the studios were allowed to own a larger percentage of the shows on television in regards to the Comcast/NBC merger. Previously, the networks were supposed to be the equivalent of dumb pipes. Then laws and regulations changed. Suddenly, creators were forced to sell their shows to the broadcasters. Otherwise they might be given bad timeslots or the show wouldn't be picked up.
In other words, unless you played by the monopoly's rules, you couldn't play at all.
And that's why these guys are winning settlements. If the studios were so risk averse, they wouldn't be forcing creators to let them own more and more of the show. Instead, the studios would be seeking to be dumb pipes and profit on that.
This is another case of a monopoly using it's power to guarantee revenue without much risk exposure.
And by the way, pro athletes should be able to adjust their contracts after a good season. Particularly in the NFL where few contracts are guaranteed and the team's routinely ask players to renegotiate down after a bad season.

Re: Re: ContingencyI disagree. The problem is that the studios do hold a monopoly here. The reason monopolies are bad is because they amass power to gain the ability to force you to sign an undervalued contract.
Agreed the monopoly power is a bad thing - however I still think it is possible to get a bigger share of the upside if you believe in your product enough - although you probably have to take a smaller upfront payment.
Of course there is the possibility that the success of Smallville was either luck or smart promotion by the networks....
Bob Mongoose, 30 Mar 2010 @ 8:49am
Re: Re: Re: ContingencyHow do you get a Thursday night timeslot without selling to the CW? Not to mention that the CW built the Supernatural franchise by following Smallville.
Obviously, the execution matters, it isn't just someone says teenage superman who can't fly and there's a hit. And honestly, I don't know enough of the details to say who is responsible for the success.
My concern is this: You create the best TV series ever from top to bottom. You go to the networks, and every single one of them loves the show, and wants to back it and go primetime with it. One catch. Every single one of the networks wants 85% ownership of the show to give it a primetime slot.
So instead of an independent studios competing to work with you to create the show, you have to sell to the network studios to get it on the air.
And that's where the lawsuit comes from.
I agree that the spark of an idea didn't produce a successful show. But I still have a huge issue with networks expanding into monopolies.
The networks make more money owning 85% of a failing show than they do owning 15% of a successful show. Do you see the issue? It isn't about producing the best TV. Is that a problem for anyone else?
And again, I'd like to bring up that MLB players (I missed that it said baseball in the summary the first time) can't just be cut next season. The contracts are guaranteed. If they had an 5 year guaranteed contract, the creators have no complaint. That's two sports the analogy fails in.
Dark Helmet (profile), 30 Mar 2010 @ 9:16am
Re: Re: Re: Re: Contingency"That's two sports the analogy fails in."
Though that really only applies with baseball, though. Most sports contracts don't include guranteed money as the whole sum, only a partial, and even that can be taken back via litigation (i.e. Michael Vick).
That's why among avid sports fans you'll hear reference to two differentiating types of money: Football money vs. baseball money. Baseball money is always better than football money, for the reason you just gave...

Dark Helmet (profile), 30 Mar 2010 @ 6:17am
Re:"The no flight/no tights rules made sense when he was in high school. But they make no sense now."
It's actually an excellent show, but only if you watch it under the exact right conditions. Here's what you do:
1. Turn the television to the WB, no matter how much your eye begins twitching at the prospect
2. Light several candles, open up a nice bottle of wine, put out a basket of chocolate covered strawberries
3. Listen to Remy Zero, the whole theme song, because it is an excellent reminder to complete the next step...
4. Which is to immediately jam your finger into the "Volume Down" button with enough force to draw blood
5. Once they've returned from whatever Noxema advertisement was playing, you will be treated to the stunning vision of an extremely hot, busty girl. It might might be one of the regular cast, or it might be a guest star, that's part of the fun!
6. Reach for the wine and gulp it as fast as you can in one breath, and then toss three of the strawberries in your mouth (raw oysters are an excellent substitute).
7. Begin furiously masturbating as violently as possible. You have only a few moments to do so before....
8. ARRGGHHH! Begin violently shouting nonsense words at the TV as one of the no-talent assclown male castmembers appears on the screen. If any strawberries or oysters remain, hurl them with righteous indignation at the screen.
9. As the camera continues to shift between characters, repeat steps 5-9 until satisfaction is attained.
10. Get up, look at the mess you've made, and then notice that your dog/cat/girlfriend is looking at you with the same expression the dead people had in "The Ring"

Makes senseOk so while I do agree with Mike that the "fair" market price was just whatever was agreed to at the time, before the show was known to be successful.
However my guess at the anti-trust argument is that because the "content creators" aka the studios are essentially the same as the "content distributors" aka the networks - there is no free market for getting at TV show you produce out there. Its not like you can just start up a TV network even if you had the money. There are spectrum issues for OTA, and the networks own/are the cable companies so they don't leave a level playing field.
The real question is - if the market was really at arms length - would a content producer be able to include a contract term that says they get a share of gross/net revenue the TV network brings in from its show. The answer is for many 'big name' shows (which arguably a superman show would count) would be able to.
Now did the Smallville creators ever ask WB for a revenue share. If they did was it not granted or was it just not "enough". If they didn't was it because they were desperate for any offer or was it because the show concept was too risky.
AdamR (profile), 30 Mar 2010 @ 9:13am
Re: Makes senseUmm Mike didnt write the article.
Anonymous Coward, 30 Mar 2010 @ 5:25amIf you have two parts of a company, and one part "buys" something of value from the other part, the purchaser still has to pay a fair price for it. I don't think it has anything to do with being fair to anyone, but rather for tax purposes. In exchange, the various pieces of the company get some liability protection.
Movie studios do this all the time. They set up a new company (which is owned by the studio and other producers), put the money in to make the film, and then buy or license it back. But they can't just buy it back for $1, even though they may own the majority of production company because there may be other people who have an interest in that company, even if it's only a tiny amount.
Imagine if you make a deal where you get 25% of any money from the sale of something, but you don't have any say in the act sale itself. And then your partner sells it to his brother for $1, way below what it's worth. And then the brother sells it for $10,000, and gives that money back to his brother. You'd probably be pretty pissed.
MBraedley (profile), 30 Mar 2010 @ 5:25amYou seem to be missing something. Each time a series is renewed, they re-evaluate the market worth of the series. Yes, there are typically options in the contracts that cap the market value increase for the network, but they only extend a few seasons. After that, a new contract needs to be written (or reused, whatever), and the cap no longer applies. If the producers feel that they didn't get a fair deal at this last renegotiation, and that the negotiation itself wasn't conducted properly, then they have every right to be upset and ask for pack pay.
Tyler!, 30 Mar 2010 @ 5:26am
It's just like...What creators of Smallville are doing would be an awful lot like someone selling you a house and then suing you ten years down the road because the house appreciated in value.
Michial Thompson, 30 Mar 2010 @ 5:59am
WOW little mikee controdicts himself againHmmmm so if a Producer asked the network for more money after the fact and doesn't deserve the money because the network assumed the risk????
Wait isn't this EXACTLY the opposite of what you claim that the music industry needs to do? I have seen you slam time and time again the contracts between the music studios and the musicians, but it's the studio that assumed the risk and even fronted money to the bands, so why should the artist deserve more just because the music become popular?

Re: Contingency"And by the way, pro athletes should be able to adjust their contracts after a good season. Particularly in the NFL where few contracts are guaranteed and the team's routinely ask players to renegotiate down after a bad season."
Most athletes DO try to renegotiate for better future contracts based on previous season's performances. That is pretty basic. And just as an athlete is not asked to REFUND the millions of dollars he got paid for sitting on the bench with an injury (it's all part of the risk), the producers should not be allowed to get this type of compensation unless it is proven they were forced somehow to take a bad contract. Which can be a little hard to prove, since they always have the option not to. But rather CHOSE to in order to make money...
Rob (profile), 30 Mar 2010 @ 6:44amOne interesting wrinkle on this is that WB not only owns the studio and the network, but also the rights to the character the show is based on, since Time Warner also owns DC Comics, and therefore the Superman character.
James, 30 Mar 2010 @ 7:51am
Other parts to the dealThere is more to the lawsuit then just the "vertical integration" stuff - allegations about smallville being sold abroad internationally in packages with other less successful shows, and then not getting fees that reflect that. While I don't know enough about this case to make a judgement on the arms length issue, this seems like a stronger and clearer point (assuming the fees were genuinely low, of course)
RickMan (profile), 30 Mar 2010 @ 8:05am
Fair Market ValueThe jist of this argument is not that they are not getting the negotiated fee for the show, which is a percentage of what the product is sold for in the secondary market. The Hollywood Reporter (THR) explains this: Warner Brothers (WB) is under valueing the Smallville for foriegn markets by packaging it with several other less desirable products. Because WB owns the arm that creates and sells the package to others, then sets the value of each property in the package, the value of Smallville was valued at less then the fair Market value and the other properties were valued at a value higher than Market Value. This lowers the amount due Smallville's producers, and increases the value of the other shows, that are owned by WB. So WB makes more money at Smallville's Expense.
Smallville's Producers feel that WB is taking advantage of their distribution power to unfairly keep revenue through an accounting trick, that artificially lowers the agreed moneys WB would pay to Smallville's Producers.
Also it is time to End Smallville and the no tights no flight and start Metropolis in Flying in tights & a Cape.
AdamR (profile), 30 Mar 2010 @ 9:09amWarner Bros. owns DC comics which makes the Superman comic. They knew the risk was low and the potential was high. Warner got to triple dip here. The made money off the license of the comic to TV, distribution fees, and low balled it to networks they owned and made more money of their air time commercials. I wonder how many Warmer Music artist they plugged into the show and money they made of licensing that?

Misuse of words...Please when stories or comments are written use the correct words to express your ideas.
PRMan, 30 Mar 2010 @ 10:13am
Slight problem with your logic, Mike...The trademark for Superman is also OWNED BY WARNER BROS. If WB decides that they're not going to allow Superman to appear on another network, then it's not happening.
Ryan, 30 Mar 2010 @ 10:38am
Re: Slight problem with your logic, Mike...PrMan: It wasn't written by Mike, and I don't see what that has to do with anything. The show's writers didn't create Superman and then somehow have the rights taken from them, they created a background for a tv series based on Superman. Didn't have to be Superman - could've been about anything, and they could easily have sold their talent to a different network.
Seems like a lot of replies mention that the writers had no choice because of monopolies...What a crock of shit. Here's a list of some U.S. networks: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cable_and_satellite_television_networks
And nobody is stopping you from starting your own channel. Oh, you'd rather just write scripts than actually running a network with all the work and risk that entails? Then stop bitching about them not paying you whatever you damn well feel like after you agreed to terms. There may or may not be an issue with meeting the terms laid out in the existing contract, but all this antitrust crap is a bunch of B.S.
Anonymous Coward, 30 Mar 2010 @ 12:40pm
Transfer PricingThe history of transfer pricing makes it clear that, absent legal/regulatory requirements, pricing between subsidiaries will bear no resemblance to "market prices".
Anonymous Coward, 30 Mar 2010 @ 5:18pm"Smallville Creators Sue Warner Bros, Say They Never Got Fair Market Price For Their Work"
Are you serious? I used to watch that show too, but then I eventually got bored of it. The writers still don't know how to come up with anything besides kryptonite in every episode.

Pipeline Stability Under Finite-Amplitude Wavesby Min-Chih Huang, Grad. Research Asst.; Dept. of Civ. Engrg. and Ocean Engrg. Program, Oregon State Univ., Corvallis, Oreg. 97331,
Robert T. Hudspeth, (M.ASCE), Assoc. Prof.; Dept. of Civ. Engrg. and Ocean Engrg. Program, Oregon State Univ., Corvallis, Oreg. 97331,
Serial Information: Journal of the Waterway Port Coastal and Ocean Division, 1982, Vol. 108, Issue 2, Pg. 125-145
Document Type: Journal Paper
The lateral stability of a bottom-laid pipeline under finite-amplitude waves which are shoaling on a mildly-sloping, rigid beach is considered. Incipient sliding motion conditions are assumed in which the wave-induced hydrodynamic pressure force is statically balanced by the Coulomb bottom friction force on a rigid, impermeable seabed. The Morison equation is employed to compute the wave-induced hydrodynamic pressure force. This static balance results in a dimensionless stability parameter that may be equated to a dimensionless wave force acting on the pipeline in order to determine lateral stability. A dimensionless wave force is computed using water particle kinematics computed numerically from the finite-amplitude Dean stream function wave theory. Design curves for predicting this dimensionless wave force acting on a pipeline under various design wave conditions are provided. Engineering applications are included which use the dimensionless wave forces to predict the maximum depth required to stabilize a bottom-laid pipeline on a rigid, impermeable beach under specified design wave conditions.
Subject Headings: Wave forces | Wave shoaling | Pipeline design | Pipelines | Lateral stability | Rigid pipes | Coastal management | Wave pressure

How To Approach A Woman At A Bar
Once you learn how to approach a woman at a bar, you'll no longer have to be nervous about the process. Don't try to be what you're not; women appreciate honesty so show your true personality. Most importantly do not be overly aggressive-it's a huge turn-off.
- Speak to her first. The best opening line to approach a woman at a bar with is, "Hi." Find something impersonal to talk about, like what she's drinking, or ask her opinion about a restaurant in the area. At this point you just want to strike up a conversation.
- Ask questions. Most people love to talk about themselves. Ask about her hobbies, her job or school, etc., but don't mention how attractive she is unless she seems insecure about her appearance. It will make you seem very interested in her as a person if you avoid focusing on her appearance, which is different from what most men do when they approach a woman at a bar.
- Maintain eye contact. Scanning the room while you're supposed to be engaged in conversation is insulting. After you approach a woman at a bar, stay focused on what she's saying and be prepared with follow-up questions.
- Use the environment to your advantage. At a bar, there tends to be a lot of noise. Lean into her to ask questions and occasionally touch her on her arm, shoulder or back – never below the waist.
- Ask her to play a game. A woman at a bar is there to have fun and there's usually a pool table or dart board around. Make a friendly wager like " loser buys the winner a drink." It will give you more time to get to know her and you're also guaranteed to spend more time with her after the game.
- Stay relaxed. Don't think about whether or not she likes you; be confident in your abilities. If you find yourself tensing up, look at her as only a potential friend. Nervousness is not attractive when you approach a woman at a bar.
- Make her laugh. Women are attracted to men that make them laugh and those men are usually very confident when they approach a woman. If you're not good at making jokes though, now is not the time to try.
- Read her signals. If she looks bored or seems unwilling to talk to you, leave her alone. It's probably not personal. Don't be annoying just in case you run into her again. You don't want to be remembered as "that guy."

The Shape-Shifters
by Louis Bertrand Shalako
No current Talk conversations about this book.
The Shape-Shifters – Review by Martha A. Cheves, Author of Stir, Laugh, Repeat and Think With Your Taste Buds – Desserts
He withdrew deep into the recesses of his very being and got in touch with his actual, living soul, as he had learned, quite by accident, so many years ago. He withdrew from conscious thought and into the core of self, where the ego and the subconscious mind peacefully co-exist, at least when they are not at war. His mind became a warm black pit, swirling with stars, galaxies, and everything in the cosmos, and he subsided into it, floating on a blood-red sea, where he contemplated the three most abstract objects, the red box, the blue sphere and the four-sided yellow-golden pyramid. His mind focused on the most universal of all abstract forms until he could pick them up and feel the weight of them, touching the hardness, the smooth-polished surfaces… His head started to cave into his body. Proceeding slowly at first, the transformation accelerated. His feet withdrew and retracted up and out of his boots and into his pant legs. His hands disappeared up into his sleeves. His grimy clothes were seemingly half-empty now, writhing and twisting in and on and of themselves as if taking on a life of their own. A sock fell to the cold, wet floor beside his boots. A thin wisp of blue vapor rose up in curlicues and arabesque shapes in the dim light of the single forty-watt bulb. The clothing squirmed into a new shape on the chair, as the ropes fell limp and slack all around what remained of Jean Gagnon.
Jean Gagnon is released from prison after being found guilty of robbery. Throughout his whole imprisonment Jean declared his innocence, all to no avail. Needless to say, his feelings for the system and the people that convicted him are filled with anger and resentment. Now he is a free man and can start his life anew. Or can he?
Janet Herbert is a widow with two children, Jason almost nine and Ashley 3 1/2. Her husband Don was killed in a construction cave-in four years earlier, before Ashley was even born. The town of Scudmore had lost the mill and jobs were almost non-existent so her struggle to keep a roof over kid's heads and food on the table was becoming almost impossible. Then she met Jean.
Jeff McCabe, Harry Morden, Slick Wilson and Ted Hiltz are hunting buddies. Their hunting isn't always legal but it kept them going. Then they met Jean. After finding out that he had been convicted of stealing half a million dollars, they had an idea. They would abduct him and do whatever it took to make him tell them where the money was hidden. This would be easy to pull off and they would all be rich enough to get out of Scudmore for good. What they didn't bargain for is the fact that Jean is a shape-shifter, and not the only one in town.
'The Shape-Shifters' will take you on a hilly ride as Jean tries to put his life back together. He has inherited an old mansion that will cost him a fortune in upkeep, which he doesn't have. It seems his only way out will be to sell and move on. He just didn't expect Janet to step into his life and totally change his life. He also didn't expect the four hunting buddies to take him in at the same time a child had been abducted. With his history of prison and the accusations of mental illness, the whole town turns against him. He is accused of taking the child and murdering her. Jean's future looks hopeless.
The Shape-Shifters is a book that I hope readers will enjoy. I also hope Louis will continue with future stories. I totally enjoyed this book.

Long Beach BLAST's Annual Breakfast Event Sells Out For The First Time Thanks to Outstanding Community Support
2013-05-24 · By Editor
The Long Beach community has been extremely responsive to supporting Long Beach BLAST's [Better Learning for All Students Today] sixth annual breakfast event. For the first time ever, the event is sold out, with 260 guests expected to attend. Funds raised at the breakfast will be used to support the organization's mission to improve success for at-risk students through collaboration and innovative approaches to mentoring and learning.
This one-hour event will be held at the Long Beach Yacht Club on May 29, 2013, 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. Long Beach Chief of Police, Jim McDonnell, will provide a report on the "State of Youth in Long Beach."
Hired in December 2012, Jenifer Finley, BLAST's Executive Director, stated that she is excited that the event will have record attendance. Ms. Finley expressed her appreciation to supporters of the breakfast and stated, "The Long Beach community has a generous and caring spirit about the well-being of its youth, especially those who are the most vulnerable."
Proceeds of the breakfast will allow the organization to impact the lives of approximately1,250 disadvantaged youth through its three programs: the Academic Mentoring Program, Bridge to College, and the Northpointe After School Education and Enrichment Program. Committed to delivering program excellence, BLAST trains and places approximately 750 local, college student volunteers who are extremely committed to fulfilling their roles as academic mentors and role models.
Based on BLAST's own evaluation data and the findings of independent researchers, the disadvantaged children and youth served by BLAST have a greater possibility for promising futures than their peers who did not receive services.
This year's Breakfast BLAST includes the following major sponsors (at press time): BP (presenting sponsor), Southern California Edison (presenting sponsor), NRG Energy (platinum sponsor), Secure Transportation (gold sponsor), AES Alamitos (silver sponsor), Mayor Bob and Nancy Foster (silver sponsor), City National Bank (silver sponsor), Distant Horizons (silver sponsor), Farmers and Merchants Bank (silver sponsor), Johannessen Trading Company (silver sponsor), John Fielder and Donita Van Horik (silver sponsor),Keesal, Young & Logan (silver sponsor), Legacy Partners Commercial, L.P. (silver sponsor), LOMCO (silver sponsor), Long Beach City College (silver sponsor), Port of Long Beach (silver sponsor), Steve and Lori Doty (silver sponsor), The Shadden Group at Morgan Stanley, and Suares Investment Group of Wells Fargo Advisors (silver sponsor),.
To help meet the ever demanding need for services, please consider making a tax deductible donation to Long Beach BLAST by visiting www.lbblast.org or by calling (562) 437-7766 Ext. 200.

We had this precious jar of pansies on the windowsill today, and what better opportunity than this to snap a cute photo of our flower of the week?
Pansies are a type of violet that hold a special place in the hearts and minds of writers and storytellers; the symbology behind these little flowers knows no bounds. They were a vital ingredient in Celtic love potions, a fact which Shakespeare referenced in his master comedy A Midsummer Nights' Dream when Fairy Queen Titania awakes with pansy juice and falls in love with the first creature she sees.
According to folklore, it was commonly believed that the petals of pansies had the power to heal a broken heart, and courting Victorian lovers often exchanged these flowers on St. Valentine's Day. One German legend says that pansies once had a wonderfully strong scent that was so enticing that people came from far away to smell them, and in the process trampled the surrounding fields. The cattle in these fields found themselves with nothing to eat, and the pansies prayed to God for help. God then took away the pansies' scent and gave the flowers great beauty instead.
Pansies stand for great charm, a gentle, loving nature, and loyal friendship.*
From The Secret Language of Flowers, by Samantha Gray.

Fractal Design Define R4 ReviewAssembly & Finished Looks »
A Closer Look - Inside
To gain access to the interior, simply remove the two thumbscrews holding the side panel in place. As mentioned before, the entire interior has the same black and white color-theme we have come to love from Fractal Design. A large opening in the mainboard tray should give you access to the cooler backplate, while openings on three sides around the mainboard allow you to route any cables nicely. You have well over 2 cm (almost one inch) of space behind the mainboard tray, along with multiple hooks for zip ties. All of this should make cable management pretty easy.
Fractal Design has chosen to sacrifice some external 5.25 inch bays and includes eight hard-drive bays instead. The top bay may be turned by 90 degrees or taken out completely if you happen to need the space for long graphics cards. The single 140 mm intake-fan has been placed in the upper slot at the factory, while the bottom one remains unused.
You may also move three bottom HDD trays away from the front, which comes in handy if you want a radiator in the front. This feature allows you to keep three hard drive bays with such a configuration.
You could also go ahead and mount the cage on any 120 mm fan location because of 120 mm spaced holes on the bottom hard-drive bay. While a cool feature, there is really no other place to put the cage as there is simply not enough space.
The two 5.25 inch bays are nothing out of the ordinary and are identical to those found in the Arc chassis. Instead of an inadequate plastic locking systems, Fractal Design still offers simple but effective thumbscrews for these drive bays, taking tools out of the equation.
The PSU bay is on the bottom of the rear. A power supply will rest on four foam-mounted knobs, while the rear is also lined with the same material. This should kill vibrations on the spot. Above that are eight, white mainboard-expansion-slots, each held in place by a black thumbscrew. In the very top is another white bladed 140 mm fan to, this time, push air out the back of the chassis.
Instead of a separate fan-controller, the Define R4 has a built-in variant able to connect up to three cooling units to the device. Instead of a dial, you may pick from three speed settings at the front of the chassis. The I/O is modern with a 20-pin USB 3.0 connector and the usual suspects in terms of USB 2.0 and case I/O.
Taking a quick look at the ceiling, the two fan-openings are covered by panels with thick, sound-dampening foam-material, while the fan-opening in the floor, for the 120/140 mm fan, does not come with such a part installed. This should not be an issue since it points downward.

The best active and passive technologies.
Duality is a new concept in pickup design, merging the best active and passive technologies to create a versatile and dynamically rich tone palette.
Duality humbuckers dispel the notion that you can't have your cake and eat it too. The Duality architecture revolutionizes pickup design, combining passive voicing and active dynamics into one.
Duality simultaneously delivers a strong midrange, punchy and articulate lows with a three-dimensional high end. The feel is responsive, providing an organic experience that plays as good as it sounds. The output is incredibly versatile; powerful and tight enough for metal but open and clear enough for blues and rock. Chorded riffs take on new levels of chunk, and single-note runs are as fluid as they are punchy.
Unlike traditional active pickups, Duality's unique, hybrid design brings the same tonal flexibility as passive pickups with the added benefits of an on board active preamp.
Upgrade your sound with the best of both active and passive pickups. Order today.

German rock stars will fire up the City of Rock
Rammstein at Rock in Rio-Lisboa 2010
Lisbon, February 17th 2010 – The organization of Rock in Rio-Lisbon has just confirmed Rammstein's upcoming appearance at the largest music and entertainment event of the world. The internationally most successful German band of today will fire-up the World Stage on a day dedicated to heavy rock fans.
Formed in Berlin in 1994, two–time Grammy nominee Rammstein has managed what few German bands can claim to have done: be successful outside of the country singing in German! The live concerts, which join a strong theatrical component to impressive visual and pyrotechnic effects, making their performances captivating for everyone, is one of the explanations for their worldwide success.
The industrial rock band launched their first album "Herzeleid" in 1995, followed by "Sehnsucht" (1997), the project which launched them internationally, "Mutter" (2001), "Reise, Reise" (2004) and "Rosenrot" (2005).
After selling out at Pavilhão Atlântico, Rammstein returns to Portugal to present "Liebe Ist Für Alle Da", the sixth studio album, no. 1 in Germany among others and in multiple top-10 charts across Europe. Rammstein consider this album to be a genuine product of democracy in the band, where all points of views and ideas are considered until they fit the very personal style that fans recognize.
The public can expect high energy levels at the World Stage, knowing Rammstein's reputation as masters of live orchestrated chaos!
