The CTS Sport Wagon (discontinued in 2014) balanced sport sedan DNA and a responsive 3.0L direct-injected engine with seating for five and a cargo-ready body style. A dramatically designed exterior nearly camouflaged the wagon's versatility — hiding 58 cu. ft. of cargo capacity1 that was easily accessed through the power liftgate. The standard supple leather seating surfaces added to the wagon's luxurious amenities.
No detail overlooked. From its signature LED lighting to its ingenious lightweight aluminum doors to its remarkably powerful engines, every gram of material in the CTS had to justify its existence. Created in turn is a beautifully crafted vehicle that stands out among the world's finest on the road.

Picture and Explanation of How Your Baby is Growing and Developing at 40 Weeks Pregnant (at term)
The bladder is compressed between the baby's head and the pubic bones, with no room for expansion except up into the abdominal cavity. The pelvic colon is pushed up out of the pelvis and compressed against the sacrum. Pressure on the blood vessels at the brim of the pelvis interferes with the return circulation from the swollen veins in the vulva, anal region, and lower extremities.
Common discomforts you may experience during the last weeks of pregnancy are frequent urination, increased constipation, edema (water retention), and aching of the legs and vulva, as well as varicose veins in the vulva, rectum, and legs. These can be explained by several factors, including the position of the uterus, the pressure of the baby's head, the loss of muscle tone, the increased vascularity of the tissues, and the added volume of blood distending the vessels in the pelvic cavity, perineal region, and lower extremities.

Darwin's historic heritage site, Fannie Bay Gaol, opened for business in September 1883 and closed as a prison in September 1979. It is now a worthwhile museum, and you can easily soak in the ambiance of what it would have been like as an inmate.
The original building comprises Blocks A and B containing six cells, and a kitchen and a wash house. The Infirmary was added in 1887 and contains the gallows installed for the last executions held in the Territory in 1952. Romanian immigrants, Jerry Coci and Jonus Nopoty take this role in history when they were hanged for murdering a taxi driver.
Gallows were constructed especially for the execution, in the infirmary. A pit was dug into the floor at one end of the building, with brick walls either side to support the beam. A small trapdoor and flight of steps led down into the pit for the doctor to examine the bodies after the drop. The prisoners were held in wire cages at the other end of the infirmary prior to the execution.
There was a separate cell block for female prisoners (added in 1928), a watch tower, a "native section" for Aboriginal prisoners, a kitchen mess building, a remand section and two maximum security wings that were added during the 1950s, probably because the gallows had been retired.
The gaol is open from 10:00am to 3:00pm daily (closed Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Years Day and Good Friday). Admission is free and there is wheelchair access.

I have a pretty decent amount of data about Disney World (where to stay, when to visit, how to beat the crowds to Space Mountain, etc.), and in turn, Disney knows a lot about me (my age, where I live, how many times I've visited the park, etc.).
This information may seem trivial, but it's essential (or so we think) for an experience that's optimized for our enjoyment. In fact, Disney has made a big bet on this idea. You might have seen stories about Disney's new "vacation management system" which is designed to learn even more about park visitors and, in turn, improve upon their experience. The amount of data that can be gleaned from something that looks like a sweatband is almost limitless. It's… uh… big.
This past week, I was lucky enough to experience the power of Disney without the Big Data backstory, as I took my two boys (aged 5 and 2) to Disney World for the first time. My wife and I wanted them to be surprised about their new adventure, so we told them nothing about the park beforehand.
That means they knew nothing of Thunder Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, the Haunted Mansion or EPCOT. They'd never seen the Teacup ride, a 3-D movie or life-size cartoon characters that sign autographs. The only thing they were fairly certain of was that Mickey, Goofy and the gang as well as some princesses lived there.
As our monorail approached the Magic Kingdom, their eyes grew as large as saucers and their grins widened from ear to ear. During our four-day trip, it would have taken the world's finest surgeon to remove the smiles from their faces. A week later my youngest still can't stop singing Zipadee Do Dah.
For all the excitement and interest about Big Data, there's something to be said for possessing no data. Without data, everything is a surprise, and surprises lead to lasting memories. Isn't that what Disney World is all about in the first place?
See storage differently! Storage performance problems have only gotten worse and harder to solve as applications have become largely virtualized and moved to a cloud-based infrastructure. Storage performance in a virtualized environment is not just about IOPS, it is about how well that potential performance is guaranteed to individual VMs for these apps as the number of VMs keep going up real time.

Slaying with Fire is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, given to Huang Lee by Triad underboss Chan Jaoming.
PlotlineChan Jaoming arrives on the roof of the building. Huang Lee arrives on the roof and Chan tells Huang that his father got one of his entourage killed. Huang tells him that he was a rat, selling the Triads out to the FIB. Chan is aware of the fact, and arranges for all his entourage to meet him on Happiness Island. Huang worries about how much Chan has drunk, seeing all the bottles in the back. But Chan says he's filled them all with gas for Huang to throw. The two then proceed to blow up a fuel tank and kill all of his entourage, blowing up boats to stop them escaping. This is followed by a fireball over the Statue of Happiness, blowing up a Helicopter and four people with rocket launchers.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Use molotovs to destroy the fuel tanker
- Take out the traitors
- Take out the attacking helicopter
As soon as you have control of Huang, start throwing Molotovs constantly in every direction. Watch out for the guys with rocket launchers, near the statue. Also, if you dont blow up all the boats, you will have to kill them later, so make sure you do.
- This is the only storyline mission that takes place on Happiness Island.
- This is the only time in the whole game you get to ride in a helicopter. However, the Helicopter is flyable with an Action Replay cheating device.
- This mission is a pun on the phrase Playing With Fire
Mission Replay description
"Chan didn't trust his freeloading entourage anymore.
He got them to meet up and wait for him on Happiness Island.
That's one barbecue they'll have wished they'd never been to."

Palomino Creek
this wiki
Palomino Creek is a small town appearing in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. It is located in the northeastern portion of Red County, San Andreas. The town has 6,836 residents, making it the most populated town outside the cities of San Andreas in 1992. It is home to the Palomino Creek Bank (which has experienced numerous robberies), a safehouse that can be bought for $35,000, and Hanky Panky Point, a popular destination for amorous teenage couples and voyeuristic onlookers.
The town is named after the creek that runs past it. Palomino Creek's location midway between Los Santos and Las Venturas makes it a frequent stop for travellers making their way to either city. It's ideal location and the fact that it is serviced by several major roads have no doubt led to its growth and success.

ATLANTA (AP) -- Matt Ryan threw three touchdowns passes and the Atlanta Falcons handed the New York Giants their first regular-season shutout since 1996, blowing out the defending Super Bowl champions 34-0 on Sunday.
Julio Jones caught a couple of scoring throws from Ryan, who broke his own franchise records for completions and passing yards in a season. He finished 23 of 28 for 270 yards.
The Falcons (12-2), who have already clinched the NFC South, moved a step closer to locking up home-field advantage throughout the conference playoffs. One more win would lock it up.
Eli Manning threw two interceptions for New York (8-6), which came into the game with a one-game lead over Washington and Dallas in the NFC East. The Giants also went 0-for-3 on fourth down.

Mrs. Pettigrew (fl. 1981) was the mother of Peter Pettigrew. Following her son's alleged death at the hands of Sirius Black in 1981, she was given the Order of Merlin that was awarded to him posthumously. It is known that the biggest bit of Peter Pettigrew she received was his index finger. It is unknown whether she is still alive, or if she is aware of her son's duplicity.
Peter Pettigrew
Little is known about the relationship between mother and son. The only thing Mrs. Pettigrew received after her son faked his death the first time was his index finger. She also received his Order of Merlin, First Class, for standing up to Sirius Black (who was actually framed). It's unknown if she lived long enough to find the truth when it was exposed.

The blocked storm water chamber in front of the Millennium Tower building at Makumbusho, coupled with a tsunami alert from the Tanzania Meteorological Agency (TMA) on Wednesday, turned New Bagamoyo Road into a traffic nightmare.
All motorists from the city centre heading to Mwenge or further up to Ubungo or Tegeta were forced to take the same time that a Dubai-bound Emirates airliner takes to fly from Dar es Salaam - five and a half hours - to cover less than ten kilometres.
But as the hours wore on towards the night, coupled with a ceaseless drizzle, some motorists took the same time that a Dar-Iringa passenger bus takes to cover the 500-plus kilometre distance, namely between six and seven hours, to cover the same less than ten-kilometre stretch.
That is the level of infrastructural 'development'that the country's commercial city of Dar es Salaam has reached after half a century of its political independence on December 9, 1961.
Because the blocked Millennium Tower storm water chamber had turned the surrounding area into a massive lake which, in some places, the water depth was knee-deep, vehicles from the city centre were literally brought to a halt for over four hours!
Those who increased speed ended up putting their plugs at peril, with the exception of diesel-fired engines. And when water at the mini lake finally receded vehicles had to move at a snail's pace.
It was thus not surprising that motorists driving from the city centre took between three and four hours to cover a distance similar to one between the city centre and either the Red Cross or Palm Beach Hotel at Upanga. By the time they reached either Morocco bus stand or Mwenge, the motorists had covered a stretch that is less than ten kilometres in the same time that it takes to fly from Dar es Salaam to Dubai or a bus takes to travel from Dar es Salaam to Iringa - which is between five and half and seven hours.
It is important to note that both the troublesome section and the road in general is under the watch of the Tanzania Roads Agency (Tanroads), which falls directly under the armpit of the Ministry of Works under the tutelage of the fire-breathing minister, John Pombe Magufuli.
One might rightly ask what Tanroads and, by extension, the Ministry of Works, has got to do with Wednesday's traffic nightmare. Well, the ministry has a lot to do with it through a combination of inaction, coupled with a lack of seriousness in handling roads under its watch through Tanroads.
For the Millennium Tower mini lake did not spring to public notice just on that Wednesday. Far from it. The problem has been slowly, but steadily, growing with each passing rainy season. But the powers that be have been ignoring it until Wednesday when the mini lake decided to display what it was capable of.
And TMA's tsunami scare had its fare share in the problem. Motorists remained put, fearing to venture out. But when they finally did, it was catastrophic - hence the problem.
Meanwhile, in Dar's city centre, the area was turned into patches of lakes as usual when it rains, with some areas close to the Air Tanzania Corporation building having knee-deep water level.
Again, another ministry responsible for keeping watch over Dar city's infrastructural development, the Ministry of Lands, has, just like the Ministry of Works, concerned itself with other nondescript issues. That has left city developers locked in a maddening race to put up skyscrapers, completely ignoring sewerage and other refuse disposal systems.
And the end result of the two ministries' combined obnoxious acts has been the creation of the dirtiest city in sub-Saharan Africa. For the doubting Thomases over the foregoing verdict, they simply need to fly over the city during the rainy season or on any day at night.
During the rainy season the city is dotted with pools of water, which gives one an impression of a leaderless city with roads that look more like cattle paths than modern infrastructure they are supposed to be. And at night the city's roads are poorly lit, hence giving the impression of a large African village that displays lights here and there.
It is an indisputable fact that Dar es Salaam has lately succeeded in transforming itself from a haven of peace to a haven of stench. And perhaps what is more unfortunate about it all is that the city stinks, especially in the centre, of human faeces, with the city fathers showing no care in the world!
Come to think of it, why should they care when they were elected or appointed to their salivating posts in order to enrich themselves rather than take care of the city, and what with the appointing authorities also complaining instead of taking action against the wayward leaders.
As for the electorate, having elected wrong leaders during the last general election in 2010, their hands are presently tied until the next general election in 2015. And that is how democracy is; for it affords people the opportunity to elect useless or useful leaders.
The other side of Dar Wednesday's tragedy raises the following question: if a day-long ceaseless drizzle, coupled with a TMA tsunami alert, can cause such a nightmare, is Dar es Salaam capable of dealing with an actual tsunami hit - or any massive disaster for that matter?
If fire broke out, say at Kurasini or Ubungo fuel depots or at the gas-fired power plants at Ubungo, does the city have the requisite facilities to deal with such a catastrophe? How prepared is the general public, presently renowned for rushing to where the danger is, as was exemplified by the Ubungo fire incident a few years ago.
During disasters, a nation's ability to deal with them is judged by the alacrity with which the nation sets in motion its rescue operations in terms of manpower and equipment. The same thing can be said about the modernity of an army. It is judged by its ability to move troops and equipment in the shortest time to an area under attack.
When Ugandan dictator General Idi Amin invaded the Kagera salient in October 1978, it took Tanzania 45 days to mobilize troops and materiel and another 45 days to dislodge the enemy from its occupied territory.
However, it is important to note that had the Ugandan army been is its former state before General Amin came to power, Tanzania would probably not have managed to win the Kagera war as Uganda then had one of the best trained armies in Africa.
Therefore, the pertinent question is how prepared is Tanzania today in case a fire erupts next time? For, as the saying goes, if you want peace then prepare for war. It is very unfortunate that past problems in this country show that Tanzanians and their leaders only engage in endless debates whenever a problem crops up.
However, once another problem crops up they move on to the new problem, shelving the former away or sweeping it under the carpet. The point is, as soon as the rainy season is over, both Tanroads and the city fathers are likely to shelve the Millennium Tower building storm water chamber problem until the next season!
As for TMA's tsunami alert, it is very unlikely the government will come up with any preparatory plan to take care of any future tsunamis. This is because, with the exception of the first phase government, it has not been the tradition of successive CCM governments to plan for anything, hence the present problems.
The only thing that successive Tanzanian governments have been good at is make pronouncements about good, future plans, but not implementing them. For instance, the first time they spoke about their commitment to solving traffic congestion in Dar es Salaam through the establishment of what has come to be known as DART (Dar es Salaam rapid transport) was over seven years ago!
But part of that programme will now not be ready until 2014, and that is not all. Over five years ago the government spoke about its commitment to build flyovers. Neighbouring Kenya, which had not even hinted about anything that grand, has now established flyovers which have been made possible through Chinese assistance.
Three years ago, the same government spoke about its plan to upgrade Dar es Salaam city's feeder roads. Unfortunately, it has yet to embark on the project. Had it done so as late as last year, the Millennium Tower building storm water chamber problem could have easily been avoided as traffic could have been diverted to other feeder roads close to the Dar-Mwenge road.
In conclusion, instead of spending a lot of precious time issuing threats to the public about the Ministry of Works' commitment to destroy structures built on the road reserve, it is important for the ministry to concentrate on solving problems such as the Millennium Tower building storm water chamber and others.
And if structures built on the road reserve are to be pulled down, it will also make sense for the ministry to start sacking officials who looked the other way as the structures were being constructed.
Otherwise such threats will remain what they are - an illustration of the nature of incompetent leadership that this nation has for a very long time been saddled with.

Great buy...
By gregl
from NW Pa.
This portfolio is incredibly luxurious yet very understated, in a pleasing sort of way. Soft, well made and incredibly functional. Whoever designed this item should be complemented as pockets and compartments are useful and plentiful. I wish I had need for two!
Love this folio!
By Betsyanne
from Mars, Pa
I have been using my Bomber Jacket Expandable Briefolio for over a year and just love it. It is sized just right to hold my iPad, my Circa, and various file folders. The folio is well-made and still looks new after a year of steady use. I highly recommend this product.
It is very nice ... and highly functional
By Banker55
from Undisclosed
The bomber jacket leather is wonderfully soft to the touch. I don't really need to carry much around with me - my Circa binder and maybe a few files that I'm working on. The expandable briefolio is perfect.

Bomber jacket expandable briefolio
By Davey
from Fort Lauderdale, Florida
This is the finest portfolio I have seen in many years; it is stylish, roomy, and just perfect for quick business trips when I want to have papers available but do not want to haul heavy briefcases.
Exactly what I wanted
By MarylandShopper
from Bethesda MD
Appears well made; looks good; has the right number of pockets/etc.--not too many and not too few. Expands nicely to hold larger load but is trim when fewer items are carried. Very versatile. I had been looking for sometime like this for some time and was pleased to find it. I can't guarantee it for you, but it suits me perfectly.Finish and construction make me optimistic that it wiill have a long life--at least I hope so.
Nice Product
By MickeyPasadena
from Pasadena, California
I like the feel of this. It is heavy and durable (slaps down nicely on a table) but is supple and feels good to the touch. I got the bigger expendable one, which I'm glad because if you take a bit more papers, along with Ipad, you could use the space. I use this when I want to go about lightly, and use a Mulholland bag when I have much more to carry around. I like the stitching. It also has an outside pocket which is handy for things you need accessible without digging inside the pouch.
By Markus
from East Rockaway, NY
I purchased this Briefolio to lighten my load for a sore back. The available space is perfect for this hand held item. I highly recommend this product.
Nice Size
By bombercollector
from Melbourne Beach, Florida
I recently purchased this and it is the perfect size to just take a few files to court. It compliments to rest of the Bomber Collection.

What are You Kidding Me: He paid how much for a love potion?
by Tony Russell
posted May 21 2013 7:10AM
Out of Spain … He didn't See it Coming
46 year-old Jose Zaragoza went to a fortune teller for a very rational thing…he asked her to put a LOVE spell on a woman he fancied. And so she put the spell of romance on the target of his affection and…and…nothing. The spell did not work so Jose and his friends broke into the fortune tellers house to make her give him his love spell money back! And that is where the real WHAT ARE YOU KIDDING ME part of this story comes in. How much do you think he paid for the love spell? Try $212,000!
FYI, Jose is a crook and embezzled almost 8 million dollars from a professional soccer association and he is being investigated for that crime, and he was arrested for breaking into the fortune tellers home!
Out of Ohio … Minor Infraction
Jaron McGee was out teaching his daughter how to drive last week. He was doing all that a good daddy should do by teaching her how to use her brakes, how to accelerate, and how to park. And because of that, and well the fact that she ended up hitting a tree, he was arrested. Why you ask? Because while teaching your daughter to drive is a good thing…you should probably wait until they are 15 or 16 years old. Jaron's daughter is NINE!
Out of Australia … The Camera doesn't Lie
We don't have a name for this poor guy so we will call him Homer, and Homer believed that he had a ghost in his house. He knew it because at night he could hear the little gobblin sneaking around. So he set up a camera to catch him, and he did just that! Well, he didn't catch footage of a ghost, but he did get footage of his girlfriend. He got footage of his new girlfriend AND his son…uh…sneaking around. The girlfriend is 28 and the son is 16 so charges are pending.

|Price range
Wigwam Burger is, as implied, a fast food restaurant chain in the Grand Theft Auto IV, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars and Grand Theft Auto V which specialty is presumably its burgers, thus being is a direct competitor to Burger Shot, but is not interactive to the player in the same way as Burger Shot's restaurants. It could very likely be based on Whataburger (however there aren't many Whataburger chains in New York).It might also be based off McDonald's, considering that both of the companies logos share a similarity. In comparison to Burger Shot, Wigwam Burger's chain is roughly similar in size to Burger Shot's, with one of its restaurants prominently located within an office building in The Triangle. Like Burger Shot, Wigwam Burger in GTA Chinatown Wars similarly offers scratch cards that may be used to win food items from Wigwam Burger or a $50 cash prize.
- Wigwam Burger has a Native American theme, with several characteristics reinforcing this claim. The "wigwam" name itself appears to be derived from the name of a traditional form of Native American dwelling occasionally confused as a teepee (a confusion which could also arise from the design of Wigwam Burger's "W" logo, which appears more like a teepee). The motto for Wigwam Burger, "No need for reservations", as noted at the end of "I'm Rich", may also refer to Native American reservations.
- "No need for reservations" could also mean that since hardly anybody goes there is always room.
- In GTA IV, The Triangle branch of Wigwam Burger is located in a replica of Candler Building, which similarly locates a large McDonald's restaurant.
- Kerry McIntosh apparently crashed her red Huntley Sport into the side of a Wigwam Burger when she was intoxicated.

COPD: Learning to Breathe Easier
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD, is a lung disease that makes it hard to breathe. COPD gets worse over time. You can't undo the damage to your lungs. But you can take steps to breathe easier and feel better.
- If you have severe COPD, you may find that you take quick, small, shallow breaths.
- It's important to avoid shortness of breath. Do all you can to make breathing easier. This includes learning ways of breathing that can help the air flow in and out of your lungs.
- Breath training can help you take deeper breaths and reduce shortness of breath.
- You must practice breath training regularly to do it well.
Breathing is hard when you have COPD. Breathing with quick, short breaths makes it harder to get air into your lungs.
You can try three basic ways to help your breathing:
- Pursed-lip breathing helps you breathe more air out so that your next breath can be deeper.
- Breathing with your diaphragm, or belly breathing, helps your lungs expand so that they take in more air. Your diaphragm is the large muscle that separates your lungs from your belly.
- Breathing while bending forward at the waist helps the diaphragm move more easily. It helps draw air into your lungs as you breathe.
Test Your Knowledge
Breath training can help you take deeper breaths and can relieve your shortness of breath.
One of the main symptoms of COPD is shortness of breath that gets worse when you exercise.
As COPD gets worse, you may be short of breath even when you do simple things like get dressed or fix a meal. It gets harder to eat and exercise, and breathing takes much more energy. People often lose weight and get weaker.
Breathing with quick, short breaths makes it harder to get air into your lungs. Learning new ways to control your breathing may help. You may feel better and be able to do more.
You can use these breathing methods to help you get over those times when you feel more short of breath. But you must practice them regularly to do them well.
Test Your Knowledge
Being short of breath:
Can make you feel weaker.
This answer is incorrect.
Being short of breath can make you feel weaker, but the correct answer is "all of the above." Shortness of breath can take a big toll on your body.
Takes much more energy.
This answer is incorrect.
Being short of breath can take much more energy, but the correct answer is "all of the above." Shortness of breath can take a big toll on your body.
Can make you lose weight.
This answer is incorrect.
Being short of breath can make you lose weight, but the correct answer is "all of the above." Shortness of breath can take a big toll on your body.
All of the above.
This answer is correct.
Shortness of breath takes a big toll on your body.
Use these methods when you are more short of breath than normal. Practice them often so you can do them well.
Pursed-lip breathing
Pursed-lip breathing helps you breathe more air out so that your next breath can be deeper. It makes you less short of breath and lets you exercise more.
- Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth while almost closing your lips.
- Breathe in for about 4 seconds, and breathe out for 6 to 8 seconds.
Breathing with your diaphragm
Breathing with your diaphragm helps your lungs expand so that they take in more air. Your diaphragm is the large muscle that separates your lungs from your belly.
- Lie on your back, or prop yourself up on several pillows.
- Put one hand on your belly and the other on your chest. When you breathe in, push your belly out as far as possible. You should feel the hand on your belly move out, while the hand on your chest does not move.
- When you breathe out, you should feel the hand on your belly move in. When you can do this type of breathing well while lying down, learn to do it while sitting or standing. Many people with COPD find this breathing method helpful.
- Practice this breathing method for 20 minutes at a time, 2 or 3 times a day.
Breathing while bending forward at the waist
Breathing while bending forward can reduce shortness of breath while you are exercising or resting. You can sit or stand to use this breathing method.
To use this breathing method, bend forward slightly at the waist. Keep your back straight. If you are standing, you may want to rest your hands on the edge of a table or the back of a chair.
Bending forward like this may make it easier for you to breathe. It helps your diaphragm move more easily.

A phrase denoting one of the requirements for becoming President or Vice-President of the United States. Anyone born after the adoption of the U.S. Constitution in 1787 must be a "natural born Citizen" of the United States to constitutionally fill the office of President or Vice-President. See U.S. Const. art. II, § 1; id. at amend. XII.
Some debate exists as to the meaning of this phrase. Consensus exists that anyone born on U.S. soil is a "natural born Citizen." One may also be a "natural born Citizen" if, despite a birth on foreign soil, U.S. citizenship immediately passes from the person's parents.

Who would you rather have replace Royce and why?
I'd take Pelle because hopefully we would get more then one year out of him.
Either one, or his old team mate from Minnesota.
give me em all
-I'm 1983 Chris Allen, and I approve this message.
Pelle. Oriakhi really isn't that impressive.
"Watch out for the Cyclones. We comin," Korie Lucious.
Let's scrap our entire team and start from scratch... Then we can pick and choose the players we want
Oriahki almost averaged a double double his sophomore year. I just want a guy that can play next year.
Pelle if we KNOW he is going to qualify. As it stands right now, I would take which ever is the first to say "I am ALL IN!"
Yep, this thread has just been pwned.
whoever will be able to play next year and contribute on defense!
*wears Cutter and Buck*
Oriakhi is probably better than this year's stats indicate. He is proven. He is eligible whereas Pelle is still in doubt.
However Pelle has probably a bigger ceiling and potentially could help us more than just next year.
Clearly I would be stoked for either one though and I'm sure Fred would take either.
Pelle's not really even interested in ISU so what's the point of the question?
Fanatic #25
Guessing the OP has never thought about recruiting before- no good comes from threads like this.

Levodopa Medicines for Parkinson's Disease
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
|Parcopa, Sinemet
How It Works
Levodopa is a medicine that the brain converts to dopamine.
Carbidopa is a medicine (called a decarboxylase inhibitor) that, when taken with levodopa, helps prevent the levodopa from converting to dopamine outside the brain. The combination of carbidopa and levodopa has several benefits:
- It allows more levodopa to get to the brain and thus increases the supply of dopamine in the brain.
- It decreases side effects caused by increased dopamine levels outside the brain by reducing the supply of "free" dopamine outside the brain. (Increased dopamine levels outside the brain can result in side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and low blood pressure.)
- It enhances the effect of levodopa, so that less levodopa is needed to control symptoms.
Why It Is Used
Levodopa is a medicine used to control symptoms of Parkinson's disease and may be used at all stages of the disease.
How Well It Works
Levodopa is the most effective medicine for relieving symptoms of Parkinson's disease. It helps reduce tremor, stiffness, and slowness and helps improve muscle control, balance, and walking. It does not affect freezing, dementia, or problems with involuntary (autonomic) functions, such as constipation, urinary problems, impotence, or pain.1
Levodopa does not slow the disease process, but it improves muscle movement and delays severe disability. The use of levodopa allows people with Parkinson's disease to stay independent and able to function for longer periods of time. But the majority of people taking levodopa develop complications caused by long-term levodopa therapy within 5 to 10 years. Movement problems (motor fluctuations) are the most common and troublesome complication.
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
- Trouble breathing.
- Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor if you have:
- Hives.
- Agitation or anxiety.
- Confusion, hallucinations, abnormal thinking, or holding false beliefs that cannot be changed by fact.
- Clumsiness or unsteadiness.
- Dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting.
- Difficulty swallowing or excessive mouth-watering.
- Nausea or vomiting.
- Uncontrollable movements, such as twitching or repetitive movements of the tongue, lips, face, arms, or legs.
- Unusual tiredness or weakness.
- Worse tremor.
Common side effects of this medicine include:
- Belly pain.
- Diarrhea if taking combination medicine with entacapone.
- Dry mouth.
- Loss of appetite.
- Nightmares.
- Passing gas.
- Brownish orange urine if taking combination medicine with entacapone.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
The decision about whether it is better to use levodopa or a dopamine agonist as the first treatment in Parkinson's disease is different for each person. Levodopa controls symptoms better than dopamine agonists in most people. And levodopa has fewer side effects than dopamine agonists. But concern about levodopa-related motor fluctuations is leading some doctors to use dopamine agonists as initial therapy in people with newly diagnosed Parkinson's disease in order to delay treatment with levodopa. The American Academy of Neurology now recommends this approach for most people who have the disease.
In theory, the purpose behind delaying treatment with levodopa, especially in younger people with Parkinson's, is to delay the motor fluctuations that eventually occur with levodopa therapy. But in the long term, the same amount of people have motor fluctuations no matter what medicine is used first.2 If a dopamine agonist is used as initial therapy, levodopa may be added when the dopamine agonist is no longer able to control symptoms adequately on its own.
Levodopa may cause impulse-control disorders in some people. Impulse-control disorders include uncontrollable or problem gambling, sexual behavior, and shopping. Binge eating is another example.
Levodopa is less likely than dopamine agonists to cause impulse-control disorders. But your risk is even higher if you take both a dopamine agonist and levodopa. If you are concerned about taking these medicines because of this risk, talk with your doctor.
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

To prove once again that Buddhist monks are hardcore to the bone, Sokushinbutsu were Buddhist monks who caused their own deaths through self-mummification. To date, only between 16 and 24 of these self-mummifications have been discovered, but it is believed that hundreds more have tried. No Buddhist sect currently practices or promotes Sokushinbutsu. Below is an image of a Sokushinbutsu, which looks so much more horrifying than any mummy costume I have ever seen.
How Sokushinbutsu works:
Step 1: For 1,000 days the Buddhist monk would eat a special diet of only nuts and seeds. During this time they performed an intense regimen of physical activity. The combination of diet and exercise stripped their body of all fat.
Step 2: For another 1,000 days the Buddhist monk would eat only bark and roots, along with drinking a poisonous tea made from the sap of the Urushi tree. The poisonous tea caused the monk to vomit and rapidly lose bodily fluids. Most importantly, however, it made their flesh too poisonous to be consumed by maggots.
Step 3: The Buddhist monk locked himself into a stone tomb barely large enough for his body. Inside that stone tomb, locked away in pure darkness, he remained in the lotus position. The only connection he had with the outside world was an air tube and a bell. The bell was rung every day to let the outside world know that he was still alive.
Step 4: Once the bell ceased to be rung, individuals outside the stone tomb would remove the air tube and finalize the tomb's sealing. The tomb was left alone for another 1,000 days, then opened to see if the mummification process had worked.
Step 5: If the monk was found successfully mummified, he was viewed as a true Buddha. The body was removed from the tomb and displayed in a Buddhist temple for all to view. If the mummification process failed, resulting in a decomposed body, then the individual was still removed and displayed in a temple. However, they were not viewed as a true Buddha, since they failed self-mummification, but they were revered for their dedication and spirit.

Think you have slow post or mail not being delivered on time?
November 23, 2012 in General
Have you ever waited anxiously by the mailbox waiting for an important delivery to arrive only to find that sometimes days may go by until it finally arrives, or better yet when your traveling you find that the postcard arrives to its destination long after you return home. Why is that?
We know items in the mail can be affected by bad weather, unforeseen events etc but this story I just read about a Postcard that was mailed during Word War 2 just arriving to a couple's (who sent it) old house in Upstate New York made me laugh at how slow post and mail can be sometimes, but also what the future may be like if it happens again.
Imagine this weird but now possible scenario: Do you think its possible we may end up getting other peoples ebay items that their seller claimed they posted but was falsely not trusted and dismissed as a cheat. Can we reverse negative feedback 70 years later I wonder? – What about amazon goods, will we even know what a paper book or CD is if it arrives 70 years later to someone who now grows up with its digital goods replacement format. I myself was born in the CD age but still got the chance at least to listen to a cassette tape before they were phased out. I now don't want to admit we had to store homework on floppy discs instead of the more modern USB drives because it makes me feel old. I am only 28 after all.
Luckily though for Pauline and Theresa Leisenring (who were the original recipients of the postcard from their parents who were visiting their brother George Leisenring, which they sent it out in July 4, 1943, from Rockford's Medical Center Barracks at Camp Grant, were he was stationed), that we all still at least know what a postcard is but for how long for since all communication these days is shared instantly thanks to the likes of twitter and Facebook?
The best part of this story though to me is the postal service official saying that maybe someone outside the service, a member of the general public maybe, may have came across this postcard and posted it. So they didn't want to take the blame for the 70 year old delay in delivering this piece of mail. I wonder if they ever accepted the responsibility of losing it in the first place then since it was originally maybe placed in their care. Either way I am glad someone used their gumption and sent it to its original destination so that hopefully someone from the family if not the original intended owners can maybe now claim back this piece of their families history.

Hove Beach Laundromat

The Hove Beach Laundromat is a laundromat in Hove Beach. It is the primary setting of the campaign mission Hung Out to Dry. It is owned by a man who was in debt to Vlad. There is a cash register in the back of the store that can be opened for $9-$199. Whenever the player opens the cash register, the lady behind the counter will yell angrily at him/her in russian, or yell "You need to go, now!"
Characters Affiliated With the Laundromat
- The player can go to the laundromat before or after the mission. However there is not much to do except for opening the cash register.
- Many players who are low on money like the shop, as opening the cash register will usually result in over $100 at the cost of just a one star wanted level.
- When opened, the cash register usually has more money in it than the TW@ Internet Cafe cash registers.
- This is the only laundromat in all of Grand Theft Auto where the player must go to in order to complete the game's campaign.
- Near the Alderney Safehouse, there is a laundromat identical to the Hove Beach one.

The US Open began tournament play in 1881, making it one of the oldest championship tennis tournaments in the world. The first tournament – a men's only tournament – was held at the Newport Casino in Newport, Rhode Island in August of 1881. The championship event was known as U.S. National Singles Championship for men, and was attended solely by clubs that were members of the United States National Lawn Tennis Association, making the event a high society occasion.
The first U.S. Women's National Singles Championships were held six years after the men's tournament at the Philadelphia Cricket Club. The first mixed doubles championship tournament was held in concordance with the first women's singles and doubles tournament. The first U.S. National Men's Doubles Championship was held a year later, in 1900.
In 1968, the US Open tennis tournament we currently recognize was formed from the consolidation of all five predecessor tournaments. However, the 1968 tournament was open to professionals to compete, unlike the predecessor tournaments that did not allow professional tennis players to compete. The new US Open tennis tournament was held at the West Side Tennis Club in Forest Hills, Queens, and was played on a grass court. In 1970, the US Open was the first Grand Slam tennis tournament to implement the tie-break at the end of the match. In 1975, the US Open switched to hard clay courts. In 1978, the tournament moved to its current home in Flushing Meadows and the surface type changed again, this time to DecoTurf.

An Oldham County High School student must have eaten his Wheaties the morning of the American College Testing exam.
Cory Smith, son of Tommy and Angela Smith of La Grange, earned a perfect score on the ACT, which has not been accomplished at his school in at least eight years, his guidance counselor said.
Smith, a junior at OCHS, learned of his accomplishment just before spring break.
His perfect score of 36 is averaged across the four areas of the test: reading, English, science and math.

Comments On Jun 03, 2013:Knee brace is nice quality good price. just a little on the hard side to adjust. braces want to fall down below the knee.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Nov 29, 2012:I have one ride with these braces and they feel and work great. They came with extension stops 0-20 in increments of 5. I am running the 15 as I am 8 weeks post acl surgery right now and dont want to bear weight past that extension point. I will update the review as I continue to use them, I chose these over Asterisks because of their simplicity. They feel slim, lightweight, strong, and I like the extension adjustments. One problem I see so far is that they dont have much protection from twist. I may modify my brace to use a strap connected to the boot for anti twist resistance. the asterisk ultra cells have this feature. These alpinestars braces dont disappoint with material quality. Overall I'm very pleased with my purchase and would recommend this brace to anyone looking for a orthopedic style brace with moderate impact protection and a slim fit. Limited features, but very comfortable and good hyperextension and sideways movement protection. I will use these for snowboarding too.

Comments On Aug 09, 2011:I've had these braces for almost a year. I previously rode with Asterisk braces for 4 years but wanted to try these. I use braces because I don't have an ACL anymore in my right knee. The Alpinestars have been a let down. In the first two rides, the tiny screws that hold the top strap to the brace backed out on both braces. The threaded portion is so small it's ridiculous. I used longer threaded screws to replace them and they've held in place. I had to do some grinding and taping to make it work. They migrate down your leg unlike Asterisk braces. The little snaps that hold the knee cap/patella piece in place won't stay snapped at all. Fortunately, the snaps are to big to pull through so the knee cap piece doesn't fall completely out. The padding behind the knee cap is pretty thin too.
I've used the brace for skiing as well as dirt biking... Asterisk fit better and stayed place MUCH better as well as stayed together.
The only thing these braces have going for them is their light weight. I don't recommend these braces.
Additional Comments On Sep 20, 2011:After posting this review I received a phone call from Alpinestars. They wanted to look at my knee braces and replace the FOR FREE. They have have made small changes in the current braces. It was a pleasure to deal with them as a company. The screws that fell out have been addressed and the top and bottom straps are wider. They do have a very simple adjustment for the flexion stops. I like how simple it is to adjust the range of motion.
Thank you Alpinestars for have continuously updating your product and for world class customer service.

Comments On Nov 28, 2010:I tried the large and x-large A-Stars B2 Left Knee brace and neither one fit right and neither one was comfortable. Finish is nice, but it is bulky in the hinge area. Beware the online sizing is not accurate. I ordered the POD MX knee brace and love how well it fits. A lot slimmer than the A-Stars B2 brace.
