A fine needle aspiration of the thyroid gland is a procedure to remove thyroid cells for examination. The thyroid is located in the neck in front of the trachea (windpipe).
Thyroid nodule fine needle aspirate biopsy; Biopsy - thyroid - skinny-needle; Skinny-needle thyroid biopsy
This test may be done in the health care provider's office or in a hospital. Numbing medicine (anesthesia) may or may not be used because the needle is very thin.
You will lie on your back with a pillow under your shoulders and your neck extended. The biopsy site is cleaned. A thin needle is inserted into the thyroid, and a sample of thyroid cells and fluid are removed. The needle is then taken out.
Pressure will be applied to the biopsy site to stop any bleeding. The site will be covered with a bandage.
Tell your health care provider if you have drug allergies, bleeding problems, or are pregnant. You should also make sure your health care provider has a current list of all medications you take, including herbal remedies and over-the-counter drugs.
A few days to a week before surgery, you may be asked to stop taking drugs that make it harder for your blood to clot. Talk with your doctor before stopping any drugs. The drugs you may need to stop taking include:
If numbing medicine is used, you may feel a sting as the needle is inserted and the medicine is injected.
As the needle passes into the thyroid, you may feel some pressure but it should not be painful.
You may have slight discomfort in your neck afterward. You may also have a small amount of bruising, which will go away over time.
This is a test to diagnose thyroid disease or thyroid cancer. It is often used to find out if thyroid lumps that are felt by the doctor or seen by ultrasound are noncancerous or cancerous.
The thyroid tissue looks normal and the cells do not appear to be cancer under a microscope.
Abnormal results may mean:
The main risk is bleeding into or around the thyroid gland. If bleeding is severe, there may be pressure on the windpipe (trachea). This problem is rare.

My boyfriend leaves me with instructions to wait for him with the vibrator turned on max.
A soft moan escapes my lips as I sit at the computer. I try to concentrate on what I am doing but it's proving difficult as the vibrator teases the fleshy insides of my tight pussy with its soft buzzing. I can't help another small moan escaping as I shift in my chair from arousal, the vibrator sending tingles all over my sensitive body. I look at the clock on the wall and realise with a mix...Read On

This is what happens when she brings her toys to work on a late shift...
I heard his voice in my ear, from the other side of the phone. I'd called after working my shift, a full 8 hour day, to see if he needed me to pick up anything before I headed home. I was walking, because the car has been in the shop for almost a month. I knew it would take me a while to get home, and it was late.

This church is built on the edge of the Eastern forum of Hadrian's city of Aelia Capitolina. The archway built to crown the entrance to the forum was of typical Roman pattern -one arch for wheeled traffic in the middle flanked by two for pedestrians - and half of it stands today. The central arch still spans the current street, just much lower down, and the northernmost pedestrian arch appears in the church as part of the chancel screen.
The church was so named because it was believed that Pilate delivered his speech to the crowds beginning "Behold the Man" during Jesus' trial on that spot - wholly inaccurate as the site dates from 135AD - one hundred years after Jesus or Pilate.

...about your financial situation, so you can cover all the tax increases bound to happen in this socialistic environment...here's a little levity from one of my favorite Gurus. And he's an RTFer GDG slinger to boot. UB
by The Mogambo Guru
From census.gov we get the news that retail and food services sales were down a huge 2.7% in December compared with sales in November, and sales were down 9.8 percent below December 2007.
In fact, Total sales for the October through December 2008 period were down 7.7 percent from the same period a year ago, and Retail trade sales were down 10.8 percent below last year.
Of course, by this time my hands are shaking in fear, leaving me with a sense of dread, a nameless horror not minutely attenuated when the census people hedge themselves by admitting that The advance estimates are based on a subsample of the Census Bureaus full retail and food services sample where a stratified random sampling method is used to find those businesses whose sales are then weighted and benchmarked to represent the complete universe of over three million retail and food services firms.
Being a really stupid guy like I am, I cannot understand what in the hell a benchmarked stratified randomly sampled subsample is supposed to mean, and I dismissed this as mere gobbledy-gook government crapola that means A method to get the positive results we want which show that everything is fine, but the phrase benchmarked stratified randomly sampled subsample kept echoing in my head, over and over. I didnt know why.
Later on, at about the same time as I hit the third or fourth Southern Comfort, neat, water-back, I was starting to numb the area of my brain that was responsible for the repetitious phrase benchmarked stratified randomly sampled subsample which kept hammering, hammering, hammering at me, when, suddenly, I realized the golden opportunity I had in my hand!
Instantly, the plan became clear as crystal! My job is saved! To celebrate, I seem to faintly remember something about celebrating far into the night, but I am not sure, although I was quite sure that when I gained consciousness it was morning, my watch was gone, my money was all gone, and somebody had apparently peed all over me, probably me.
Nevertheless, I was at the office as soon as I could get there and, while bravely nursing a killer of a hangover, I took the last of the petty cash and, pawning some of the office computers and the contents of the honor system coffee jar, hurriedly contracted with a research firm to conduct a survey of a benchmarked stratified randomly sampled subsample of departments that are losing more money than my little department, so as to compile a list of businesses exemplifying the absolute dregs of managerial incompetence.
My idea is to use this statistical wizardry to evolve a mathematical proof that I am not, contrary to the evidence, incompetent, and should not be fired since I look so good in comparison to a few random weenies selected from the top of the list who are, as a subsample, the worst of the worst!
And the best part is that its all legit!
But although this kind of statistical sleight-of-hand may, hopefully, solve my problem, the economy will not be so lucky with the government doing it. Even Bloomberg.com writes, The index of leading U.S. economic indicators unexpectedly increased in December as the money supply expanded, masking signs of a worsening recession.
The figures are that the Conference Boards Leading Economic Indicator rose 0.3%, the Coincident Indicator (a gauge of current economic activity) fell 0.5%, and the Lagging Indicator (which I interpret to mean future inflation) surprisingly declined 0.4%.
In other news, even worse, the Labor Department reported that the number of Americans filing first-time claims for unemployment benefits increased by 62,000 to 589,000, matching the highest level in 26 years.
What a world! What a mess! What a time to buy more gold, silver and oil!
And speaking of silver, Ted Butler, regular contributor to InvestmentRarities.com and expert on the slimy goings-on at the Commodities Exchange, says that the manipulation of the silver market has gone ballistic as 4 traders hold two-thirds of all the true short positions on the COMEX.
On the other hand, he says, The short position of the next 4 largest traders (the 5 thru 8 largest traders) has shrunk to its lowest level in more than a decade, both on a percentage and actual contract basis. Since the raptors (the 9+ commercial traders) have held a long position for many months, now that the 5 thru 8 largest traders are abandoning the short side, the big 4 must dig in to keep the price from exploding.
Buy silver! Whee! This investing stuff is easy!
Until next time,
The Mogambo Guru

Dir. George Romero
In the wake of the zombie apocalypse, only small pockets of human resistance survive. A small group of scientists and soldiers are holed up in an underground missile silo. As the scientists experiment on forcibly captured zombie specimens to try and find a way to control them, the soldiers become increasingly impatient with the lack of results and are eager to wage an all-out war on the undead. Soon, the tension between the two human camps erupts into a violent situation that is only overshadowed by the vicious zombie slaughter that surrounds them.
When George Romero wrote the original treatment for Day of the Dead, he intended it to be on a much grander scale, a 'Raiders of the Living Dead', if you will. Or as Romero once described it – 'the Gone with the Wind of zombie movies'. Allegedly he and Dario Argento had planned to team up again to helm the project, however the funding from European investors fell through and Argento regrettably had to pull out of the project, leaving George with a finished script and an epic vision, but no money to realise either. Further budget disputes and an artistic necessity on Romero's part to release the film unrated, ensured the budget of the film was eventually cut again. This forced Romero to strip back his story to its most basic elements, rewriting the script and reining everything in. The result is surely one of the bleakest, goriest, most provocative, chilling and sorely undervalued horror films of the Eighties.
The bulk of the film explores the increasingly strained relationship between the scientists and the soldiers. The small team of scientists comprises of Sarah and Ted (Lori Cardille and John Amplas) who work under Logan (Richard Liberty), or 'Dr Frankenstein' as he has been dubbed by the disgruntled soldiers, due to the gruesome experiments he carries out. Headed by the ever-strung out and deranged Captain Rhodes (Joe Pilato), the soldiers are a crude motley crew who shoot first and ask questions later. They delight in the rounding up and barbaric treatment of the dead. Also making up the numbers are helicopter pilots John and McDermott (Terry Alexander and Jarlath Conroy). They, along with Sarah make up the human heart amidst the debris of the dark story, and the plethora of unpleasant characters that populate it. The various altercations and face-offs between scientists and soldiers grow more intense and deadly as the story unfolds. The actions of the soldiers mark them as the real monsters of the piece, not the zombies.
The inspired setting within a seemingly endless series of underground caverns, as well as being budget-friendly also adds an unbearable tension to proceedings, and as the suspense mounts, the sense of isolation, claustrophobia and hopelessness is almost unbearable. The opening shot of Sarah slumped in a heap of despair in a small concrete room immediately sets the mood of the film. A brief foray into the outside world under the opening credits reveals empty city-scapes, deserted boulevards and eerily silent city centres, populated by tumble-weeds, wildlife and the living, shuffling, perpetually hungry dead. As soon as we descend into the concrete Hades, we remain there for the rest of the film amidst sickly florescent lighting and a never-ending vista of concrete, stone and steel. A downbeat and murkily pulsating soundtrack courtesy of John Harrison is as atmospheric as it is typical Eighties fare, and constantly drives the narrative forward while never intruding too much.
The various experiments and autopsies depicted in the film are amongst the most gruesome of Romero's career and the SFX were provided by Greg Nicotero (who also stars as Private Johnson). As the already bloodied and soiled events race towards their dark conclusion – and a horde of flesh hungry zombies penetrate the underground silo – Romero, Nicotero and co. unleash their bloodiest, wettest fantasies as limbs are pulled off, eyes hauled out of sockets, faces ripped apart, legs torn from torsos and bodies literally pulled apart and lovingly slopped across the screen. The death of Rhodes in particular is fairly protracted and jaw-droppingly visceral.
Typical of Romero's work, a compelling and thoughtful subtext brimming with ideas and opinions lurks not too far beneath the surface of Day of the Dead. Romero mediates on the likes of fascism, scientific morality, spirituality and human compassion. The director once remarked that this film was a "tragedy about how a lack of human communication causes chaos and collapse". Romero had also previously explored the notion of the dead as 'us' in Dawn of the Dead, and he continues this concept in greater depth with the introduction of Bub (Howard Sherman), a seemingly docile 'every-zombie' who seems to possess memories of his past existence. Before long the scientists, and indeed the audience, are soon empathising with Bub as the lines between good and evil, are increasingly blurred and events spill over into a veritable quagmire of moral dilemmas and debates.
Day of the Dead remains as affecting today as it was twenty-five years ago and one of Romero's most underappreciated and thought provoking treatises on death and the human condition.
To celebrate the film's 25th Anniversary, those lovely folks over at Arrow Video have repackaged the film and released it on Blu-ray with a slew of special features including four sleeve art options; double-sided fold-out poster; 'For Every Dawn There Is A Day' collector's booklet; 'Day Of The Dead: Desertion' – an all new exclusive 24-page collector's comic featuring new Bub storyline; 5.1 DTS HD Master Audio and 1.0 Mono audio options.

The following is excerpted from a March 12, 2012 Business Workshop article by David Oberdick published at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:
The U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania has been selected to participate in a pilot program that could lead to an increase in patent infringement cases in the court.
And if the pilot goes as expected, it may also benefit local service industries that provide support to patent litigation.
The pilot program encourages the development of an advanced expertise in patent cases among district judges. The goal of the pilot program is to "create a cadre of judges who gain advanced knowledge of patent and plant variety protection through more intensified experience in handling the cases."

Alright, the first five ewoks made by Kenner were pretty much no-brainers as to where they appeared in the film:
Chief Chirpa: the surprisingly easily frightened Chief of the tribe
Logray: the medicine man
Teebo: the second ewok we see and the creepiest (I'll always remember the reaction of "eewwwww" from the audience the first time I saw ROTJ in the theatre and Teebo emerged from the bushes)
Wicket: .....um, if you don't recognize him then I seriously doubt you've seen the movie.
Paploo: the bike thief/hoodlum/Kenny Baker's alter ego
What about Lumat, Warok and Romba? Where do they specifically appear in the film? My theories:
Lumat: Kenner wanted to make an ewok archer figure and Lumat was the best reference photo they could find.
Warok: his coin suggests that he is a glider pilot, but he can also double as a second archer. The only ewok glider I remember seeing had a very different looking ewok as a pilot.
Romba: I used to think he was the ewok who nabbed the stormtrooper rifle (the smart one) but now I think he was one of the ewoks who helped Chewie steal an AT-ST (which could also be said of Warok too)
Feel free to prove me wrong.

Serves 4
A perfect soufflé is a work of art: puffed, light as air, but here made more far more healthy and hearty with featherweight quinoa in the mix. However, have everyone at the table, ready to eat. Soufflés begin to collapse the moment they leave the oven.
Fill a medium saucepan about halfway with water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Stir in the quinoa, reduce the heat to low, and cook until the grains have developed their halos and are tender, about 12 minutes. Drain in a fine-mesh sieve or a lined colander set in the sink. Cool the grains down under some running tap water. Drain thoroughly.
Position the rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375°F. Lightly grease a 2-quart soufflé dish or round high-sided baking dish with a little butter on a wadded-up paper towel or piece of wax paper, making sure to get the butter down into the seam between the bottom and the sides. Coat the sides and bottom of the dish with the grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, turning the dish this way and that to make sure it's all nicely cheesed up.
Whisk the egg yolks in a small bowl until creamy and light.
Melt the butter in a large saucepan set over medium heat. Whisk in the flour. Cook for 30 seconds, whisking constantly.
Whisk in the milk in a slow, steady stream; then whisk in the wine, not as slowly, but certainly not all at once, in a heavier but controlled stream. Continue cooking, whisking almost the whole time, until thick and very creamy, about 2 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the cooked quinoa, beaten egg yolks, pumpkin puree, nutmeg, sage, salt, and pepper.
Use an electric mixer at high speed to beat the egg whites in a large bowl until they form droopy peaks when the turned-off beaters are dipped back in the mix. Use a flat, rubber spatula to fold half these beaten egg whites into the pumpkin mixture until no trace of white remains. Then fold in the remaining half very gently, stirring in wide arcs, until incorporated and even throughout but not dissolved. Scrape, pour, and spread this mixture into the prepared soufflé dish.
Bake until puffed and set, about 40 minutes. Bring it straight to the table and serve it up hot before it begins to deflate.
Save time: Use 1-3/4 cups cooked quinoa and omit soaking and cooking the raw grains.

Needingworth Quarry in Cambridgeshire is one of the largest sand and gravel extraction sites in the UK. It covers an area of approximately 975 hectares and lies three miles east of St Ives, adjacent to the Great Ouse river.
Extraction began in 1995 and will span more than 30 years, during which time 28 million tonnes of sand and gravel will be removed. The restoration will be phased to create Britain's biggest reedbed (460 hectares), along with open meres, wet scrub and grassland, within a 700 hectare nature reserve. The quarry employs 19 people directly and supports a number of others including contractors and drivers.
The large washlands of the Ouse and Nene rivers attract internationally important numbers of wildfowl species including Bewick's swan and widgeon and are designated under the RAMSAR convention. Smaller fragments, containing typical fenland wildlife, such as reed buntings and dragonflies, remain in every ditch and drain with reeds being the living sign of wetland past.
Restoring fens from low level mineral workings provides a great opportunity for long-term wetland creation. Habitats such as reedbeds and seasonally flooded grassland are being created at Needingworth. The restoration is being undertaken in close co-operation with the RSPB and has been planned using a modular system, with each module separated by clay-rich bunds. Each module is between 20 and 40 hectares, which represents around two years' worth of excavation. Landforming and reed planting takes place as the modules are completed.

Although Pennsylvania made serious mistakes by relying on game farm turkeys for too long, I would be surprised to find that they did not go to trap and transfer when the NWTF was not even a figment of someone's imagination. I wish it was still a figment.

Here's a safe bet: if each prominent Republican could make one political wish, John McCain would want to be 10 years younger, Jeb Bush would want a different last name, and Arnold Schwarzenegger would want to have been born in the US.
Rudy Giuliani, for his part, would want a different political calendar.
According to national polls, Giuliani is leading as the Republican front-runner. But he's not doing well in the few states that matter first in the nomination process. Instead of a national-primary system, we have a series of state contests that begin in mid January in Iowa and New Hampshire, then hit Florida on January 29, South Carolina on February 2, and a mega mix of states on February 5. (Wyoming also begins a caucus process from January 14 through February 2, but it is unlikely to receive much press attention.)
Giuliani's problem — which works very much to his opponents' advantage — is that the former New York mayor's campaign is in a bit of a mess in those early states. Sure, it's too soon to tell, and there's time to turn things around. But if the contests in Iowa and New Hampshire were held today, Giuliani would lose both badly. And his campaign would be in tatters.
As always, each candidate's goal is to be one of the two left standing after the first few contests have narrowed the race. Several weeks ago we recapped how the major Democratic candidates are doing in the early states, and explored what kind of showing they'd need to remain viable. This week, it's the Republicans' turn.
Rudy Giuliani
For months now, the Giuliani campaign has dithered over how much time and attention should be given to Iowa, thereby appearing to write off the state one way or the other. Meanwhile, Giuliani faces two candidates who have built-in advantages in New Hampshire that he doesn't have: Mitt Romney is a neighbor and McCain won the state eight years ago. Could Giuliani win Florida after having lost the first two contests? He might have to face that $64,000 question.
PREDICTION Giuliani can afford not to win Iowa. But, as the front-runner, can he withstand a third- or even fourth-place finish? That looks entirely possible now that Fred Thompson is about to enter the race. With such a feeble showing in the first state, New Hampshire could turn on him; he's currently running second or third in most polls taken in the Granite State because the Independents, who tend to like him more than hard-core Republicans do, are likelier to vote in the Democratic contest.
We predict that Giuliani will come in anywhere between second and fourth place in the first two states — though New Hampshire could yet prove fertile ground for his new, more socially liberal brand of Republicanism. If New Hampshirites fail to defy current expectations, however, he'll have to win Florida or finish a very close second on January 29 — otherwise he'll limp into California and New York on February 5 as a bit of an also-ran, since he's unlikely to win South Carolina, either.

SSIII is a National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded effort to enhance the interoperability of sea ice data to establish a network of practitioners working to enhance semantic interoperability of all Arctic data. SSIII is a collaborative project between NSIDC and the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) Tetherless World Constellation project. We seek to build on the work initiated under the International Polar Year (IPY) and create a community of practice working to improve interoperability within the Polar Information Commons (PIC), the Sustained Arctic Observing Network (SAON), and broader global systems.
We will initially focus on the scientific understanding of sea ice by developing a sea ice ontology. We will work initially from a scientific perspective, but over time, we will explore incorporating the knowledge and perspectives of Arctic residents by collaborating closely with the Exchange for Local Observations and Knowledge in the Arctic (ELOKA) project.
We will be posting our initial use cases and concept maps leading to the creation of the ontology as they are developed and eagerly encourage feedback from Arctic scientists and data mangers. In the meantime, we are interested in learning about other Arctic vocabularies, ontologies, and semantic frameworks. If you are interested in being involved or want to learn more, please contact the SSIII Team.
We envision a sustained network providing enhanced interdisciplinary understanding and usability of polar data and improved data interoperability across the polar domains to enable use by a very broad population.
To develop a broadly useful sea ice ontology and to foster the development of a network of active practitioners working to make their data more semantically interoperable.
- Extend, strengthen, and enhance the interoperability of the established and growing network of the IPY Data and Information Service and PIC through the facilitated community development and review of ontologies and their connections to other semantic systems and data services.
- Develop a detailed, yet broad, sea ice ontology linked to relevant marine, polar, atmospheric, and global ontologies and semantic services.
- Explicitly incorporate elements of local and traditional Arctic knowledge in the sea ice ontology.
- Make available National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) sea ice data holdings using the sea ice ontology and encourage the use and facilitated evolution of the ontology by other networks and interested parties.
- Integrate the sea ice ontology into developing global and polar ontologies and the related semantic frameworks.
- Improve the discovery, understanding, and use of sea ice data by enabling faceted searches of sea ice data in multiple existing and developing search interfaces.

The pricing war in the online Chinese travel arena may moderate in the near-term, but ThinkEquity analyst Henry Guo says he thinks it is too early to beleive the competition in the market will fade. In fact, the market remains highly competitive as new players enter and new business models emerge–continuing pressure on firms like Ctrip.com International (CTRP).
"While we believe Ctrip is likely to report solid 3Q results on an improving travel market outlook and guide to an encouraging Q4 on easier comps due to the 8-day national holiday in early October, we continue to believe visibility to the long-term competitive landscape remains limited," Guo writes, maintaining his hold on the stock.
Yesterday, Citi analyst Muzhi Li also expressed caution, reiterating a sell rating and noting that air ticket sales may be the other shoe to drop amid rival eLong's air ticket coupon program and growing ticket booking volumes at Qunar, which is 62% owned by Baidu (BIDU).
"Based on our concerns of potential threats to Ctrip's air ticket booking services (in addition to the looming threats of hotel wholesalers coming online through Taobao and Qunar), we do not share the market optimism that: 1) competitive landscape will improve in favor of Ctrip; 2) Ctrip's profit margin will rebound in 2013; and 3) eLong will scale back the eCoupon program," Li writes.
Ctrip.com's shares are up 0.57% at $17.53.

C99 adds "type-generic macros" in <tgmath.h>. They feel much more like C++ than in the spirit of C, but since they're in the standard glibc needs to implement them. Implementing them needs compiler extensions; if you look at the one glibc 2.1 installs you'll see macros using __typeof__ and statement expressions that sort-of work and sort-of make sense. However, they get the behavior for integer arguments completely wrong.
The other day I studied the matter and decided that a fully correct implementation was impossible with the existing GCC features and proposed some new compiler builtins to allow for a clean implementation. After a few mailing list messages on how things might be achieved with other extensions such as __builtin_classify_type, I saw how it could in fact be implemented. The macros I produced work, but are more obscure than even glibc's usual standard. Now Ulrich Drepper has been crazy enough to include them in glibc.
2000-08-01 Ulrich Drepper <email@example.com> Joseph S. Myers <email@example.com>
* math/tgmath.h: Make standard compliant. Don't ask how.
/* This is ugly but unless gcc gets appropriate builtins we have to do something like this. Don't ask how it works. */
/* 1 if 'type' is a floating type, 0 if 'type' is an integer type. Allows for _Bool. Expands to an integer constant expression. */ #define __floating_type(type) (((type) 0.25) && ((type) 0.25 - 1))
/* The tgmath real type for T, where E is 0 if T is an integer type and 1 for a floating type. */ #define __tgmath_real_type_sub(T, E) \ __typeof__(*(0 ? (__typeof__(0 ? (double *)0 : (void *)(E)))0 \ : (__typeof__(0 ? (T *)0 : (void *)(!(E))))0))
/* The tgmath real type of EXPR. */ #define __tgmath_real_type(expr) \ __tgmath_real_type_sub(__typeof__(expr), __floating_type(__typeof__(expr)))
If __tgmath_read_type_sub makes sense to anyone without referring to some version or draft of the standard, I'd be surprised; the rules used for the type of conditional expressions are arcane. If you try including this header in C++ code, or try calling any of the macros with complex integer types (a GCC extension), you'll get what you deserve. If you try nesting calls to the type-generic macros, it should work - provided your machine can cope with the code expansion involved, similar to the problem of a harmless five nested calls to strcpy expanding to 200 Mbyte of text after preprocessing. If you actually want to use such an obscure <tgmath.h>, you trust too much in the compiler and in magic.
You are in a maze of twisty macros, headers, compiler extensions and expensive standards, all different.

Hello world!
My name is Sean and I am an avid hunter thanks to my grandfather. He was also a fly fishing enthusiast who loved the great outdoors. One of his final gifts to me after he passed was two fly fishing rods in his possession.
I know nothing of fly fishing and have always used a spin rod when we fished together. So, in my quest to become a fly fisherman I have a few questions hopefully someone can answer to help me get started.
First and foremost, the two rods I received are made by Lamiglas. The one I can remember at the moment is a Lamiglas im905. It is graphite and has a 5 line wt.. Now, my question is, how is this rod for beginners, what I can effectively fish with this in the eastern Alabama area and what would be a good reel to purchase for it?
Secondly, what is the monetary value of the rod in question?
Third, what else should I invest in as a beginner?
Thank all of you in advance and I hope to grow and learn a great deal by surfing these forums!
I used to have an IM graphite lami rod back in the 90's but it was an 8wt for steelhead. The rod is very popular in gear models for non-fly use in the pacific northwest. I would say it's worth about 100 if in very good condition. Fresh water use is much less demanding than salt, so you can use about any reel that balances the rod. What would you be fishing for in Alabama?

This is a very interesting thread.
Here's my sixpence worth. Like many here, I have been a big exponent of L6 for years and indeed gig every week with the DT-50 and 4x12. I gave up using the HD500 after months and months of messing about trying to make it work for me, I am deliberately leaving out the words - tone and sound.
The issues I had included, but not limited to:-
Pressing the pedal to engage/disengage wah cuts off the sound temporarily and is a bugger to press.
I found it incredibly difficult to balance volume levels across only 4 patches,
Mod effects would also have an effect on perceived volume.
Trying to work out the signal path and how to use the mixer baffles me to this day.
The list of quirks is really too long when all I want to do is play the guitar instead of meddling. I regard the time it takes to set up an HD500 to be extreme and the results are not worth the effort in time. And don't even get me started on using the L6 link which causes incredibly unmanageable volume increases and what's with dual pre amps when running a mono amp? Surely L6 don't really expect me to buy 2 DT amps. And how does that work live sending out stereo studio direct to the PA, it doesn't, mmm. I could go on all day and some would say there are workarounds for all it's faults, who wants that?
I fixed my issues with the HD500 reasonably quickly by buying new gear. I use in front of the DT50, a Crybaby Wah - MXR 10 band EQ
In the loop of the amp i use a Zoom G3X to provide no more than Chorus for one song, Delay, reverb and of course the onboard Volume pedal - Carl Martin Boost with 3 band EQ and level trim just for the solos. Hey presto! instant pro quality rig.
A channel switch to select between Soldano Clean and Soldano Distortion on the amp.
Simple to set up and the important part for me is that the rig is suited to me. I run the amp in full power mode with the master at 2-3 oclock and the channel two volume at around 11 oclock (obviously) dependent on gain setting too which is usually no more that 10 oclock. Sounds great and blows the doors off.
As a side note, I have bought a Zoom G5 pedal on the strength of the quality of the G3X and I set the G5 up just for jamming along with my Sessionette 75 SS amp. Within 10 minutes and I was not far away from my full gig sound and and for jamming, that is near enough. Their software interface is incredible. It's not for me to even state the comparisons just to say it is so much easier to get what I want from it. For the really keen price, I would say check it out and give it a whirl.
All is not lost with the HD500, I use it at home for recording where it truly excels.

OSCAR AND FELIX Sullivan and McEleney in The Odd Couple.
There are King Oedipus and his mom, there are Romeo and Juliet, and there are Oscar and Felix. Okay, there have been other archetypes in theater through the ages, but the comic duo in Neil Simon's The Odd Couple are as elemental as flint and steel.
And the sparks they strike in the current production at Trinity Repertory Company will be warming the hearts of even grumpy, wife-tugged theatergoers (through May 9).
The set design by Eugene Lee is the set of a television show, complete with klieg lights and applause sign, and we are the audience.
Success here has as much to do with this particular Oscar (Fred Sullivan, Jr.) and Felix (Brian McEleney) as it does with the playwright and his patented, easy-to-swallow, Laughter Lite style of rib-tickling.
For his 1965 Broadway hit, Simon had practiced his tricks in the early '50s Sid Caesar TV writing room, trying to one-up the likes of fellow comedy writers Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner. By the time the playwright translated The Odd Couple into the 1968 film and gave the nod for the early '70s sitcom, Oscar Madison and Felix Ungar had established themselves firmly in the American imagination as exemplars of domestic conflict, gender irrelevant.
On Broadway, they were played by Art Carney and Walter Matthau (later Jack Klugman), respectively. On TV for five seasons, Klugman reprised his role as the sloppy one, and Tony Randall established himself as the pasha of prissiness.
Under Curt Columbus's loose-leash direction, two Trinity veterans inhabit the roles as convincingly as if they had climbed into Oscar and Felix — or into bear and squirrel costumes — and zipped up. Their chemistry should be patented.
Sullivan gives great slob. When we first see Oscar, he is not sharing his apartment, except for a weekly gang of friends bantering around a poker table. Somebody notices a dried-up Petri dish of a TV dinner from the week before. Clothes are heaped here and there like clam shell middens. Sullivan plays Oscar as an expansive, wise-cracking farce of nature, braying or barking out even casual lines, but calming occasionally to issue a thoughtful one. We don't dismiss him as a smart-aleck blowhard and we are ready to accept his standing up to a serious challenge — such as a friend in need.
McEleney's Felix is similarly multidimensional. He plays him as earnest and good-natured about his all-but-apron-wearing fastidiousness, picking up every crumb and cigarette butt, and feeding the boys at the poker table as cheerfully as Betty Crocker. McEleney doesn't reach for laughs but lets them come to him on their own.
Simon sure knew his dramatic structure, starting things off with Felix's friends worrying that he might commit suicide, and Felix milking that for attention, gazing longingly out the 12-story window.
Oscar is divorced, rattling around alone in an eight-room apartment when Felix shows up, distraught over his wife throwing him out after a dozen years of marriage. He adores her but she is fed up with him, or at least with his being such an obsessive-compulsive neat freak, despite his having taken over the cooking chores. The two guys, needing each other as they do, are a marriage made in purgatory.

|Lines, Loops and Leaders Line / Leader Recipes, Loops, Splices, etc.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Not sure whether this is a good global solution, but I've had success with the American Wire Co. braided wire for bluefish. It comes in a range of strengths (diameters) and most can be tied effectively (if careful). I like the intermediate diam/strengths because they are stout wire, yet not too stout to prevent tying into knots. The joint between leader and wire is a surgeon's knot, and there is debate on the terminal knot to the fly. Clinch and figure 8 cover me pretty well.
Most likely the damage incurred by one gnarly toothed beast is enough to warrant replacement - but at least you will still have the fly and have a shot at landing the fish.
(BTW - nice description of the tarpon shock leader)

Barracuda? Tarpon? Blue fish? Does any one use a shock for Stripers?
What knots? What kind of material? How long?
For tarpon: I put perfection loops on both ends of a 5' lenth of 50# maxima. I tie a 24" class tippet, 20# with bimini loops on both ends. One end of the class tippet is looped to the butt with a triple surgeons knot(the loops are big enough to pass a fly). The other end of the tippet is connected to 12" of 80# flourocarbon with a huffinagle.
What are the best knots for attaching the bite guard?

Program honors historic civil rights event
Friday, Feb. 29, 2008, 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. · McCosh 50
Posted February 22, 2008; 01:24 p.m.
The integration of the University of Alabama -- a historic moment in the civil rights movement -- will be commemorated with a program titled "The Opportunity of Crisis: Integrating the University of Alabama" from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 29, in McCosh 50.
The event will feature a discussion with Princeton alumni John Doar and Nicholas Katzenbach, who played key roles in the event as members of the Kennedy administration's Justice Department.
Hosted by the Program in American Studies, the Center for African American Studies and the Program in Law and Public Affairs, the program will feature a screening of the documentary "Crisis: The Making of a Presidential Commitment," followed by two panels that will reflect on the events of June 1963 and their enduring legacy.
In a dramatic moment, Alabama's segregationist governor George Wallace stood in the doorway of the University of Alabama's Foster Auditorium to try and halt the admission of two African American students, Vivian Malone and James Hood -- and was turned aside by the federal government. That same night, President Kennedy delivered a speech to the nation that offered an eloquent plea for racial justice.
The events were the subject of the film "Crisis," directed by Robert Drew. With camera crews in Montgomery and Tuscaloosa, Ala., and Washington, D.C., Drew captured the tension that lay behind the confrontation. The film includes candid footage of the key participants, including Malone, Hood, Wallace and Kennedy, as well as officials working at the Justice Department under Attorney General Robert Kennedy. Those officials included Doar, a 1944 Princeton graduate, and Katzenbach, a 1945 alumnus, who served as assistant U.S. attorneys general in the 1960s.
In the first panel on Feb. 29, director Drew, along with one of his cameramen, the distinguished filmmaker D.A. Pennebaker, will discuss the making of the film and its place in the history of American cinema as well as American politics. In the second session, Doar and Katzenbach will discuss the events and the lessons they hold for the present.
The discussions will be moderated by Valerie Smith, the Woodrow Wilson Professor of Literature and director of the Center for African American Studies, and Sean Wilentz, the Sidney and Ruth Lapidus Professor in the American Revolutionary Era.

Fish TB/other diseases surviving outside of tank?
When doing water changes/tank maintenance I try my best to minimize contact with tank water (gloves, etc.), try not to splash water outside of the tank, and wash my hands thoroughly after I'm done, but I was wondering if I should also be sanitizing the area around the tank in case family members/friends (who aren't aware of fish diseases) touch the potentially contaminated surface and get infected.
If anyone has information about whether Fish TB/other diseases could survive outside the tank in significant levels it would be greatly appreciated!
unless you see the disease in your tank, you have nothing to worry about.
ive been having my bare hands in my tank since i started it, and to expand this out, been swimming in lakes since i was 2. never caught a disease from it.
my hands have had cuts on them, and i have touched fish. still no harm done
the thing to be careful of is your sanitizing products getting into the water. that'll do a lot of harm.
but to address your question on a biological standpoint:
some things need a host to live, others can survive in with water. it just depends on the disease and what it needs to survive.
i honestly think you are fine and have nothing to worry about.
just don't drink the water, or stick your hands in our mouth or eyes when working in the tank and you'll be safe
mizzoutank is correct. That said, it is fine to use gloves and wash your hands but zero need to clean up outside the aquarium. When the water drops dry, the bacteria is harmless.
For people placing their hands in a tank, do be careful with open wounds - best to avoid that when possible. The reason is that reports by researchers indicate that thanks to over use of antibotics (of course) bacteria found in a VERY FEW aquarium fish is getting antibotic resistent. That is not a big problem since your own system will generally handle it but do keep that in mind.Knowledge is fun(damental)
A 75 gal with eight Discus, fake plants, and a lot of wood also with sand substrate. Clean up crew is down to just two Sterba's Corys. Filters: continuous new water flow; canister w/UV, in-tank algae scrubber!! Finally, junked the nitrate removal unit from hell.
For Fishless cycling:http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/aqua...ead.php?t=5640
On any normal tank washing your hands after you're done is more than enough precaution. Fish tb, or Mycobacterium marinum, can be caught by humans but it tends to take either very long and very regular exposure or pre-existing skin damage (cut, bad rash that kind of thing)
The bacteria itself is a nasty little thing that is quite hard to kill. I know there was some research into the survivability of this critter done in the beginning of the century but I cannot find the document at this time. It would certainly be a good idea to wipe away anything that you may have spilled.My 33 gallon/125 liter tank. My photography on flickr.
Any disease you can catch from an aquarium can be caught in any public restroom as well. Some private ones too. And then some. Unless you keep your aquarium in poor condition you have little to fear. The most common disease transmitted by aquaria is salmonella. You have about as much of a chance of salmonella exposure from your aquarium as you do a fresh leafy salad. Just use good common sense and you will be fine.
The only time I would take such precautions is when quarantining new stock. If you've properly quarantined what is in your display tank and the tank is well maintained then you have nothing to worry.

I'm thinking of buying a lightweight, portable gobbler decoy (Don't want anything big & bulky like B-Mobile or Pretty Boy). Does anyone have any experience (good or bad) with the Flextone Thunder Chicken Decoy?
Thanks! Nick

I say this because I used pretty boy for a week one season. 2 birds on 2 separate occasions came to the calling, saw the decoy, and tucked tail and ran. Also, there is nothing more important to me than mobility,make sure it fits in your vest if you do use it. But hey, if the thunderchicken works....USE IT! Good luck.

Baby Earrings
I am a mother of a 4-month old baby girl. She is very adorable and charming. She smiles a lot like a doll. However, when I bring her out for a walk, people would see her as a boy. I'll say 3 out of 10 people thinks that she is a boy. My mum suggested to have my baby's ear pierced. Now I would like to know the appropriate age for babies to have their ears pierced. I am a little bit concerned that it might cause my baby some pain and it could be uncomfortable for her since her head is still lying on her sides during her sleep.
29th February 2012 01:27 AM #2
Hi charibelle_925,
Personally I would not worry if other people think your baby is a girl or a boy. Lots of people get the sex of babies mixed up: it is extremely common. In fact, I think only 3 out of 10 people thinking your little girl is a boy is a lower 'confusion rate' than a lot of my friends get!
On the gentle parenting journey, I am learning more and more that it does not matter what others think: I have to do what is best for my baby first and foremost.
If you did want to make it more obvious but were still unsure about getting her ears pierced then you could dress her in very girlie clothes or put a headband on her head.
Of course - this is just my opinion! What do others on here advise?
4th March 2012 10:20 AM #3
I have to agree with LJ. I have four children and they have all been confused as the opposite gender at one point or another. It really is not that big of a deal to me. Personally, I would not consider getting my daughter's ears pierced during infancy. It is painful and there is a chance of infection. If it really bothers you, then just put a fancy bow on her or dress her in ultra-girly clothes. It is far safer and less painful for the babe. However, if you are sure you want to do the ear piercing, be prepared to keep the area very clean and find someone who is experienced in piercing babies.
4th March 2012 02:41 PM #4
I'm in agreement with ljmarsden and mom2many - My babies were "bald" until they were two (very little hair and very light blond, so you couldn't see it). So I just made a point of having my girls wear pink and often put them in dresses. But the pink can be very helpful - now, when I look at a baby and I can't tell if they are a boy or a girl, I look at the color of their clothing. Pink or purple definitely helps! (My husband was not a big fan of headbands, but those help too!)

Hi everyone!
Thanks for your insights! Well, getting my baby's ears pierced would be painful on her part. So I think it would be better to dress her with pretty pink clothes and headbands. Just like what everyone of you advised. Though I still want to get her ears pierced someday, when is the best possible age to do this?
11th March 2012 02:52 PM #6
I know that when I took blood from two of my children to have their blood typed, I found that the ear lobes were the least painful place to do it (less painful than a finger prick or a toe prick).
But, nonetheless, it does cause pain.
If you want to pierce your daughter's ears it probably won't matter when you do it, because it will be painful for her no matter what.
My daughter wanted to get her ears pierced when she was in her teens, so we let her (though we put restrictions on the types of earrings she could wear). You could wait until your daughter is older and decides, for herself, that she wants her ears pierced. That's what I would do.
Ask yourself this question. If I pierce my daughter's ears, what will the benefit be to her? If it's just that she won't be mistaken for a boy, then you have other, non-painful, options. If there truly is no benefit to her, then really think about why you're wanting to do it, and if it's just to satisfy a desire within you, then you may want to wait and let her make the decision when she's able to make a responsible decision about it. Those little ear lobes belong to her, so maybe she should be the one to make the choice of whether she wants a hole placed in her ear lobes or not.
Just something to consider. Be sure you have absolute peace about the decision before going forward. Once you have peace, you will know what the right decision is.
Warm regards,

Hi Kate! Point well-taken.
My daughter had her ear pierced when she was 3 months old. Like what Kate said, my daughter looked like a boy when she came out. Honestly, (I don't know if I can associate it with baby blues or post-partum) I couldn't help myself but get offended when people say so. Because of this, I told my husband to let Noelle wear a pair of earrings.
When we took her to the paediatrician and had her ear pierced she screamed a lot! My heart got really broken. Until now she's wearing those first pair of earrings but I recently noticed that the pierced on her right ear is misaligned now. What should I do? Should I take the earrings off?"Those who don't believe in love at first sight have not given birth." ♥ Hidden Content

How would you feel if you took them off and let them heal/close? How would you feel if you kept them in? Which do you feel better about?

I just can imagine how my baby would feel when I get her ears pierced. Just like when she gets her monthly vaccination. It really is heartbreaking hearing her cry. I think Kate's advise is really good, to wait for the right time when my baby is old enough to decide for herself.

|The Quintessential Trout Trout angling is the core of flyfishing worldwide.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
It is an inlet stream. The Quinnipocsett (sp?) stream dumps into the Wachusett Reservoir and right where the Quiny ends there is a pump house that pumps water from the Quabin (sp?) Reservoir into the Thompson Basin. When they are pumping water from the Quabin, the water is very cold and creates a current. You can catch rainbows, browns, lakers, brookies, and salmon. I caught a 24" rainbow a couple years ago, on a egg sucking leech with my light line 3 wt, a good fight. The fishing can be very tough for us fly guys. The worm guys always do a lot better. I am very lucky to have this spot so close to my house. It is like a minute drive and I'm there :-). Last night there was a lot of wind, which was causing a lot of rippling on the water, which made it tough to see my dry, plus it was getting dark. I had a hit, but it broke my 7x tippet cleanly. I have been wondering what that fish was all day. I guess I will just have to go find out tonight after I get done doing some painting on my house. The fish seem to like a caddis pattern with a yellow body. I'm not a very good etemologist (sp?) maybe someone could help me out.
|Craig - are these in open water or an inlet stream (not familiar with Thompson Basin).
Thompson Basin, Wachusett Reservoir
Fished the Thompson Basin some last week. I picked up two salmon and one brown on a dry, cream colored caddis. It was so much fun seeing the take and setting the hook. I have mainly fished the salt this year, so to get some fish on a dry was a blast. It is real tough casting, there is no room for a back cast, so I ended up loosing a lot of flies in the trees. I was using my 3 wt light line. I have used my 6 wt alot down there in the past and used the roll cast to stay out of the trees. A bait guy by the name of Richard got two real nice salmon 20" and 19" one male and one female.

Man Ray's Dada objects, made in New York before he left for Paris in 1921, are more fantastic than Marcel Duchamp's (1887-1968) assisted ready-mades, although obviously related. Man Ray first me Duchamp in 1915, but they only began to work closely together after the First World War.
The enigma of Isidore Ducasse was assembled in New York in1920. Man Ray wrapped a sewing machine in an army blanket and tied it up with string. Like most of the objects which he made up to the late 1940s it was assembled primarily to provide an unusual subject for a photograph and then discarded.1
The inspiration and the title of this object derive from a famous line in the book Les Chants de Maldoror (1869) by Comte de Lautréamont, the pseudonym adopted by the French poet Isidore Ducasse (1846-70): 'He is fair … as the chance meeting on a dissecting-table of a sewing-machine and an umbrella!'.2 The strange juxtaposition of images in Lautréamont's writings, and especially this image of the sewing-machine, was to become almost a maxim for the Surrealists, who welcomed Man Ray when he arrived in Paris in 1921. His photograph of The Enigma of Isidore Ducasse was reproduced in the preface to the first issue of La Revolution Surréaliste (December 1924), the Surrealists' first major periodical.
In 1971 Galleria Schwarz, Milan, reconstructed The enigma of Isidore Ducasse in an edition of ten under Man Ray's supervision.3 The example in the Australian National Gallery's collection is no. 8 from this edition.

Inconvenient Truth in Darlington
Councillor Veronica Copeland, the Labour Cabinet Member with responsibility for Environment and Climate Change, told the meeting that every one would learn from watching the film and she would make it her duty to organise showings so every Darlington Borough Councillor can see the 'The Inconvenient Truth.'
The consensus of the meeting was that on such an important issue, all politicians should pull together to use their influence to pursue policies to improve the environment and halt climate change. Several people present called on local councillors to set an example and lead from the front.
Darlington Friends of the Earth Coordinator, Kendra Ullyart, told the meeting that the group and its members will continue to pressure for change. She said 'that in addition to our national campaign for a strong climate change law to reduce carbon emissions by 80% by 2050; we will also be concentrating on local issues, and campaigning to get robust recycling policies in place throughout the area', She then invited the audience to continue their interest in the environment and join the group. The next meeting of Darlington Friends of the Earth will be held on Monday 10th March at 7.30 pm where members will have the opportunity to quiz Ian Thompson, the Borough Council's Assistant Director of Environmental Services, about waste management policy and practice.
How politicians lead from the front - in Germany! Dr. Reinhard Loske, Environment Senator, Bremen.

At the Association of Parish Councillors (where all parish councillors from across the area can meet) on Thursday night, another parish councillor mentioned this. I too would like to see this film, now that I understand a little more of what it is about. I'll be looking out for the details of when it's planned to be screened. I wonder; who lets who know, when the meetings of the friends of the earth takes place? To be honest I'd never heard of the Friends Meeting House until Cllr. Mike Barker mentioned it on his blog. I also intend on visiting the gardens to the rear of the building.

It's remarkable, isn't it? Darlington - the Quaker town - the local football team called The Quakers, yet the Quakers themselves nearly invisible to the general public.
As for the equally invisible Friends of the Earth, I think you've hit a major problem in Darlington, Mark. There are a myriad of groups and organisations in the town doing great work that are made invisible by one single fact - the lack of a genuinely inclusive "What's On". The council will only promote their own stuff, and the local press only respond to press releases, so only organisations with PR resources get in.
Just ask yourself "where are the art exhibitions in Darlington"? The truth is, all over the place (eg Darlington has a photography gallery), but the lack of a What's On makes it difficult to find. The Quakers and Friends of the Earth suffer from this same lack.
Personally, I think this is exactly what Town Crier should be doing...

Mark, I'm going to try to arrange a showing at St Andrew's church in Haughton; I'll let you know if/where/when.
I wonder if there's a place for a web-based What's On In Darlo. A site that collates Darlington-based blog posts, and events and groups and links them all together in one place? A community site, like DarlingtonTown has the beginnings of, but doesn't quite deliver. Mark, do you know who runs the site now?

Even businesses can do something. In Bremen, Germany there is an initiative between companies:
Not in English, sorry, but it is about free business bikes for short business trips (3 - 4 miles one way). These distances cover the whole of Darlington: Yes, that is CHANGE, WE CAN BELIEVE IN.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
This subject is an emotional one for me
I am on the internet every morning and every night ..
I have become a Face book and MySpace junky .
Not because I want to find new friends but to keep in touch the boys of Alpha Co. (I am leaving out the rest on purpose)
I am on the internet just to see if any of these men have been logged in .. Why? Because if they can log in that means No One was Injured or Killed that day .
Two of the 130 or so men are very special to me .. They are my son and my son-in-law .They have been there since July.
They are in southern Afghanistan (COB Terminator). This area is where the Taliban started their efforts and were the Soviets were defeated.
Both of them have been Blown Up in Separate IED incidences and Both Saved by the MRAP Vehicle.
I do get to speak/text/Web cam every once in a while with them.
This is what they tell me THINGS ARE HEATING UP They need more troops to make a difference. The Taliban doesnt fight they plant bombs and shoot rockets, then run and hide.
This is a very poor country even by Iraq standards. I watched a show on the History Channel Inside the Taliban- gave a very interesting background on Afghanistan and the Taliban. if you can find it and watch it.)
I am a conservative republican not an Obama fan but it does little good for these young men to play politics while we have men in harms way.
Please let the Military Fight the Fights, Put them in a position to win.
I dont care if it is BUSH, Obama or whomever--- support our troops let them do their jobs- efficiently and effectively.
I am praying every day for our military and our country.

Hurricane Sandy damage
It is sad to see all of the damage caused by the mega storm or Hurricane Sandy that hit the east coast of the United States. This storm was much wider and spread out than a normal storm front. New Jersey and New York got most of the damage from the storm. Wind from the storm was evident in the Great Lakes where boats were told to take safe haven during the storm. Over 72 people lost their lives in this storm. The damage caused by the storm was immense. Many cars were flooded and no longer usable. Unknown damage was done to the subway system in New York. Loss of electricity was very great in the east coast cities. West Virginia got a massive snow storm as a result of this storm. I hope that this area can be rebuilt soon. Maybe special walls will have to be built to protect them from high water damage in the future. Let's hope that things can be restored to normal as soon as possible Deepest sympany to those who lost friends or relatives in this storm.

Atotech held their second Plating on Plastics (POP) summit in Rock Hill, SC on Tuesday, April 15.
The company provided several technical presentations on POP and decorative plating and introduced their new Cr(VI)-free etch technology. The fully Cr(VI)-free technology has already been successfully qualified in the plating line at the Atotech TechCenters in Berlin, Germany under production scale conditions. The Cr(VI)-free technology meets the automotive, sanitary and consumer goods industries' requirements in terms of cosmetic appearance, adhesion and thermocycle tests.
Following Atotech's standard new products' development procedure, the Cr(VI)-free etch process is at present ongoing field testing, delivering encouraging results.
In addition to speakers from senior Atotech worldwide management, the event included presentations from Bing C. Xu, Enterprise Materials Management Program Manager, Ford Motor Company and Federico Gambina, Materials Science Engineer, Honda R&D Americas.
