Be Careful What You Ask For
|story & illustration © 2002 Bruce Van Patter
|"But your highness," whined Yawni, "Your father sent me with you on your trip to help you get to your uncle's castle. But he said, no magic. I am not a very good magician."
"You're stalling," stamped Zim. "I want some bread."
"I don't think..."
"A simple wheat roll! That's all I ask. MAKE ME A WHEAT ROLL!"
Yawni sighed and pulled out an old, worn wand. He closed his eyes and mumbled words in a wheezy voice. A puff of pink smoke swallowed Prince Zim. When the smoke cleared, where the boy had been there was now a tiny, ugly man with wild hair and arms so long they touched the ground. "What have you done to me?" shouted the little man.
"Oh dear," said Yawni, laughing. "So close and yet so far. It appears I have made you a WEE TROLL! Ha, ha!"
"It's not FUNNY!" stomped the ugly, little troll prince.
|It's Your Story - Don't let the story end here! Finish it for me! Think...
Will Yawni be able to turn the prince back? Will they get to the uncle's castle, and what dangerous thing might be waiting for them? Will Zim learn to control his anger? Will Yawni make some other mistakes? And... good thing Zim didn't ask for a sand-wich!
Have fun -- finish the story -- and be creative! Can you email me your ending?

Suzuki's 'original of the species' Vitara returns after years in the wilderness
First Drive: Suzuki Vitara
IT is always good to see an old name coming back. And none more so than the Suzuki Vitara.
It nearly became a motoring dinosaur after the then-Government switched (rightly) to an emissions-based taxation system in 2008. It just wasn't prepared for the brave new world.
A handful were sold but mostly the Vitara - often dubbed the original of the compact SUV species - nearly became extinct because its emissions meant extortionate VRT and road tax.
Seven years on and the name - on a spanking new model - is back.
There is a 1.6-litre petrol (120bhp) and a 1.6 diesel (also 120bhp) with more than respectable emissions (106g/km for the diesel in 2WD and 123g/km for the petrol).
There are 5spd (petrol) and 6spd (diesel) manual gearboxes with an automatic to follow.
There is 2WD and 4WD, three trim levels GL, GL+ (the biggest seller) and GLX. And there is the starting price, as we forecast last week, of €19,950 (1.6 petrol GL).
Most buyers (70/30) will opt for 2WD but the 4WD is a decent operator (despite my foolish attempt to break new ground on road tyres and need a little tow).
Prices are being pitched at 'introductory' offer level until October when they are likely to rise by €1,000.
I'm not so sure that is a great idea because of what it might do to residual values but it is their strategy and they obviously have their own way of doing things in an ultra-competitive environment.
They are being up-front about the strategy. They want to get cars on the road so people like you and I will notice.
I think we will.
I was impressed not just with the look of the car which I think, and I don't care what anybody says, is a clever take on a mini-Range Rover Sport. There is a black-roof/cocoa body combination that I particularly liked.
But it is well priced and specced. Agreed, you don't feel it getting up to €23,000/€24,000 for your diesel (1.6 DDiS GL+ €22,995) but that's the territory you are realistically in anyway.
I expect the diesel GL+ to be the one most people will focus on.
The cabin is quite smart, though three slots in the centre facia on some models aren't that clever; and there was an excellent driving position.
Not so sure about the plastic on the inside of the doors, though. There's decent room in the back seats. A spare wheel is NOT standard. Bargain for one.
Standard equipment includes automatic air con, cruise control with speed limiter, 16ins alloys, seven airbags, DAB Radio with USB and Bluetooth connectivity, electric windows and projector headlamps.
GL+ adds Smartphone link audio and navigation system, 17ins alloys, rear privacy glass.
And GLX adds adaptive cruise control, radar brake support, panoramic sunroof, LED Projector headlights, 17ins alloys and suede seat fabric.
Their ALLGRIP four-wheel drive system is an option on GLX versions (1.6 DDiS GLX €27,995).
The larger diameter wheels and the higher ground clearance helped off-road, despite my faux pas. The system has four modes you can use depending on conditions (though I don't think 'water paddling' is one).
And where would any new car be without personalisation? They've gone mad with this. As well as myriad bits and pieces you can have or add on the outside or inside, there are two Packs as well - Urban (GL+ , GLX) and Rugged (GL+, GLX), both costing €900.
They expect around 700 people to buy a new Vitara in a full year in a segment that is growing apace.
It has been a long way back for the Vitara. It's a different world but it looks well equipped to deal with it.

Artist Information
- Members: Tsugumi Kataoka (片岡嗣実) and Manami Fujino (ふじのマナミ).
- Website: PARQUETS ONLINE! (archived)
Profile Information
Parquets (パーキッツ) was the duo of music composer Tsugumi Kataoka and lyricist/vocalist Manami Fujino. They have been producing songs for various anime, like Bomberman Jetters and Mirumo de Pon, amongst other projects since the early 1990s. In a rarity in BEMANI, Parquets composed exclusively for pop'n music, and their music has almost never been transplanted into any other BEMANI series (the one exception so far being Ping×Pong×Dash).
Both members also have contributed to the pop'n music series collaborating with other BEMANI artists, and Kataoka has also provided songs as a solo artist.
Parquets was dissolved after a live event in June 2009, when Manami Fujino decided to take an indefinite hiatus.

It looked like the label Hema was huge hit at the Colors party. After Aditi Rao, it was singer Sophie Choudry who was seen sporting a Hema dress.
The wine-colour dress was highly accentuated wih ruffles with a beautiful lace detailing that rested at the back of neck. The singer finsihed the look with golden Louboutin slingbacks. She wore a center-parted updo with hints of braids.
She kept the use of makeup and jewellery to a minimum.
So what do you think of this look?

Support » Plugin: iThemes Security (formerly Better WP Security) » Vunerable!
3 years, 9 months ago
Out now, be careful.
Any solution to this yet? Is a concern that the info and vulnerability issues are spreading out!
I disabled the plugin for the time being, also, if you have enabled the use of .htaccess in your wp-admin directory (Apache web server) this should work as well:
<Files ~ "\.(php)$">
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from 0.0.0.0
Deny from all
0.0.0.0 being your ip address, you may have to modify this depending on your configuration.
Is I am wondering if these elements only apply to those using the database backup functionality. These attacks look as though they require a certain configuration.
My question is, is this something that is a general security hole. The report does not declare any details on what circumstances allow for the acts to be successful. Yes there may be a security hole here but is it necessarily an item that can be easily exploited if all other security elements are in place?
Again, I don't know but those are my questions as a web developer. And overreacting is not usually the best response.
Those proposed vulnerabilities have been discussed with the WordPress plugin repo folks and others and are not valid.
Thanks for jumping in Chris! Didn't think there was anything to worry about I know you are on your game. Thanks for putting in all the hours on such a great plugin.

Push Your Creativity To The Next Level
Ableton's Push pad-based control surface is going to totally change the way you relate to Ableton Live, and if you're completely new to this amazing DAW-style music creation environment, then you're really in for a treat. In fact, the Push comes with a copy of Ableton Live 9 Intro, so it's the perfect place to start. With a matrix of 64 fantastic-feeling touch/velocity-sensitive pads, eight multi-purpose encoders, and all of the dedicated controls you could ask for, Ableton's Push gives you the kind of all-access command over Live nothing else can offer. Play virtual instruments, track beats, step sequence, and navigate with ease (all at once) from your Ableton Push pad control surface!
Play and record with a matrix of 64 phenomenal touch-sensitive performance pads
When Ableton decided to create a their own custom control surface for Live, nothing but the best-feeling pads would do. That's why they turned to Akai Professional, whose pad-based hardware has remained one the foundation stones of the electronic music world for well over two decades. These touch-sensitive pads do a whole lot more than register velocity, allowing you to control the expression of tonal instruments by varying the pressure under your fingertips, and you get 64 of them on the Push. And it gets even better.
This array of 64 pads breaks down neatly into four quadrants of 16 pads each. In addition to using the entire 64-pad matrix to trigger scenes and launch clips, you can use each quadrant independently as well. For example, you can assign one quadrant to act like the 16 pads of a traditional drum controller, another to provide loop navigation, and then combine two sections to form a 16-beat, step-sequencing grid. Or you can set the entire matrix to act like the notes of a traditional keyboard and color only the notes that are in a particular key. And those are just a couple of the many ways you can take control of Live with the Ableton Push controller.
Sequence and perform in a graphic environment you can manipulate with your fingertips
It's easy to imagine just how effective the Ableton Push control surface can be when it comes to creating and performing music with Ableton Live. Following the same basic setup Ableton established when they partnered with Akai and Novation to create the APC series and Launch Pad controllers, the Push controller mirrors Live's Session View, allowing you to launch loops, samples, and even entire scenes. Each of the Push's 64 backlit pads features a multicolor LED, providing you with instant visual feedback, so you virtually never have to look up at your screen. That's extremely useful, particularly when you're performing live.
Take command of your Live Sets with a massive array of intuitive hands-on controls
So far, we've really just scratched the surface of what you can do with your Ableton Push and Live. One of the apparently less cool but essential things about the Push are all of its peripheral controls. First off, there's this awesome 4-line LCD display that displays the parameters you're working on, allowing you to tweak settings and mix channels with ease. A touch slider along side the Push's pads lets you bend notes, control modulation, or take over any other parameter you like. On top of that, there are dedicated buttons for loop settings, effects, general navigation, and just about any basic command you'd typically find yourself reaching for your keyboard and mouse to execute. Essentially, if Ableton Live came out in hardware form, it would look just like the Ableton Push controller.
Ableton Push - Feature List:
Width: 370mm (14.57 inches)
Depth: 293mm (11.54 inches)
Height (body): 26mm (1.02 inches)
Height (body + encoders): 46mm (1.81 inches)
Weight: 2990g (6.6 pounds)

KAMLOOPS - Homeowners with urban chickens in Kamloops will want to let their insurance broker know the have hens roosting at home, according to the Insurance Brokers Association of B.C.
City council amended a bylaw earlier this year so lots as small as 370 square meters are now allowed to have between two and five hens. The amendment came into effect June 21.
Kamloops director Crystal Petrie says while she doesn't think insurance companies will charge extra, "they want to be aware of what they're insuring."
Urban hen owners will want to make sure they're covered for a variety of chicken related issues. One of the most important is liability associated with eggs. If a hen owner gives an egg to a friend or neighbour who ends up sick, the hen owner could face a lawsuit.
"Whether you're liable or not doesn't really matter, what matters is if someone is going to sue you for that," Petrie says. "You'll still have legal fees even if someone is not successful."
There are other issues that could lead to law suits insurance companies want to be aware of, like the value of a chicken coop or destructive hens.
"If they were to get out and destroy neighbours property, that could be something you're liable for," she says. "It's the same if your dog bites someone."
While costs are unlikely to rise, it's important for the hen owner to make sure their insurance covers their chickens. Petrie says insurance companies also like to know what risks they're insuring.
"They want to be aware of what they're insuring and what the exposures are," she says. "Everything is based on risk and the amount of risk, that's how insurance companies operate."

I stopped eating meat over 2 years ago. I eat fish once in a while but mostly a vegetarian diet. I really miss being able to grab a quicky fast food meal. I never ate fast food all that much but it was handy on occasion when you're on the road or don't have time to stop for lunch but need to grab something. And I really miss sandwiches. The ease of some deli meat, cheese, lettuce and tomato...done. Most fast food restaurants have little to offer someone who doesn't eat meat.
I'd create a vegetarian/vegan sandwich fast food/drive through with really good healthy food. Falafal, several varieties of homemade veggie burgers with lots of toppings. Grilled veggie sandwiches and lots of really good bread. Just because it's veggie doesn't mean it has to be a wrap all the time. I miss really good bread! Crispy eggplant parm on crusty Italian bread. Oh yes!! And fresh pasta salads, potato salad, interesting side salads to go on the side.
Put these in every major city and in highway rest stops.

Vayne Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Chapter 1
Simple Build for Vayne, Start with getting boots of speed or dagger, and a stack of 1 to 3 pots dependent on item you decide to start with. once you hit enough money, Back for boots, then move into getting items to make zeal, a dagger or brawlers gloves or both. After you get zeal focus on working to get to phantom Dancer.If you have to buy the agility cloak and dagger first, then do so.
Stark's Fervor is next, but if the situation calls for it, you can go to Black cleaver instead. if you work on cleaver I'd suggest getting dagger first for the extra AS then the Bastard sword. With Stark's I'd suggest getting the Recurve Bow first, then the emblem of valor and then the Stark's. After getting both Black cleaver and Stark's I suggest getting Infinity Edge, and then the Bloodthirster.
Situation Items I would suggest, would be Wit's end, Cloak and Dagger, and Banshee's Veil.
A replacement Item for the build is of course The Trinity Force, it works well for her, but it is a very expensive item to get, nothing wrong with that, but with the many other items that she will want, it can get rather costly, and I've seen many Vayne's get laid to waist simply because they were working on getting Trinity Force.
This is a build only, and a simple suggest for items, runes, and skill selection and the path to take to get to them, you don't like the item set up, great tell me why.

Discounts and capped values are based on CARBON/QUARTZ pricing. Refer to the applicable column on our price list for your discounted prices E&OE. Amrod reserves the right to make changes to the Amrod Loyalty Programme at its discretion.
Click here to access a barometer that indicates your current spend and equivalent ALP value, your current Loyalty Status and how far you are from attaining the next discount tier.
If you have any questions regarding the details above, please email:
* ALP value includes 1.5 x points on clothing and branding
Clients who accumulated fewer than 50 000 Amrod Loyalty Points (ALP) in 2016 will be moved to CARBON in 2017. Similarly, new clients registering in 2017 will begin on CARBON and be promoted once they achieve the target for QUARTZ i.e. 50 000 ALP.
A current order that results in sufficient points being earned to graduate from CARBON to QUARTZ will result in graduation to the higher tier. For example, in a situation where a CARBON client has accumulated 20 000 ALP and wishes to place an order that equates to 40 000 ALP, that client will graduate to QUARTZ for the purposes of that order and will immediately enjoy the benefits associated with QUARTZ i.e. the ability to brand that order and so on.
Carbon status is not applicable to clients based in the Eastern Cape, the Free State and outside of South Africa. Clients in these areas who earned less than 200 000 Amrod Loyalty Points (ALP) in 2016 will fall under QUARTZ until they achieve the target for CHROME i.e. 275 000 ALP.
Clients who earned between 50 000 and 200 000 Amrod Loyalty Points (ALP) in 2016 will fall under QUARTZ until they achieve the target for CHROME i.e. 275 000 ALP.
Should a client attain a higher ALP tier, the higher ALP tier will be retained until the end of 2018. Achievement of any of the higher tiers during 2017, would allow the client access to the benefits of that tier immediately, until the end of 2018.*
Clients beginning 2017 on CHROME or higher will enjoy the benefits of that tier throughout 2017. To maintain the ALP tier a client began 2017 on for 2018, they will be required to attain the ALP target associated with that tier. Achievement of any of the higher tiers in 2017, would allow a client immediate access to the benefits of the tier reached until the end of 2018.*
* ALP tier discounts are effective once invoices totalling the relevant target ALP's are paid.
* Targets are revised annually.
* Your spend for the Amrod Loyalty Programme starts afresh at the beginning of a new year.
* Spends close 8 December 2017 and any spend from 9 December until our closing date in 2017 will be carried over to 2018.

This story, from the Jan. 12, 2017, edition of the New York Times, was little-remarked upon at the time, but suddenly has taken on far greater significance in light of current events:
In its final days, the Obama administration has expanded the power of the National Security Agency to share globally intercepted personal communications with the government's 16 other intelligence agencies before applying privacy protections.
The new rules significantly relax longstanding limits on what the N.S.A. may do with the information gathered by its most powerful surveillance operations, which are largely unregulated by American wiretapping laws. These include collecting satellite transmissions, phone calls and emails that cross network switches abroad, and messages between people abroad that cross domestic network switches.
The change means that far more officials will be searching through raw data. Essentially, the government is reducing the risk that the N.S.A. will fail to recognize that a piece of information would be valuable to another agency, but increasing the risk that officials will see private information about innocent people.
One of the central questions behind the Mike Flynn flap that should have been asked but largely wasn't is: who was wiretapping the general? The answer, we know now, was the National Security Agency, formerly known as No Such Agency, the nation's foremost signals-intelligence (SIGINT) collection department.

Beauty Problem Scars? Use Raw Potato
- if you have scars on your face due to acne or skin blemishes or for whatever reason, then use a raw potato juice on your face. Yes, it sounds bit strange but raw potato has enzymes which can help you reduce scarring and not to mention they are most cost effective.
- Just cut a potato in half and rub it over scars or affected area that's it! The juice of potato will be applied over scars and then wash face with normal water or warm water.
Fake Tan ? Use Baking Soda
- Wanted a little bit of streaky shade of color on your face? To get a fake tan on your face, create an exfoliate out of baking soda and water. Mix both ingredients and make a paste and roll over on your face and body in circles. Make sure it is comfortable on your skin, try it on some other part of your body before using on face
Greasy looks ? Use Flour
- Having a greasy look kills anyone. The fastest way to get rid of greasy look is used flour and corn flour can help you get rid of a greasy look. To instantly revive life into your hair, sprinkle a little bit of flour on the scalp and work into the roots, then brush through to ensure all excess flour has been removed.
Want White Teeth ? Use Crunchy Vegetables
- Eating fresh fruit and vegetable can help you get the perfect white, stain-free teeth.
Blonde Hair ? Use Tomato Ketchup
- Rejuvenate your hair with tomato ketchup. It may sound strange,but the red condiment can neutralize the green in your hair leading to shiny and golden locks more. Apply tomato ketchup on your hair, keep it for 20 mins and then shampoo it normally that's it.

Think back over the last few weeks. Can you remember the last time you took time to unwind, de-stress, a few minutes to sit back and put your feet up? And I mean really and truly took some time for you?
Not just…
- A few minutes in the bathroom with the door locked
- A trip to run errands without anyone with you
- A minute or two in the quiet of the morning before chaos ensues
I mean intentional, unplugged, deep breathing, soul healing down-time. I'm pushing the point here because if you are like me, it is probably hard to remember the last time this happened.
Re-learning the art of self-care and downtime has been a major focus for me this year, it even inspired me to start a new blog. I still find myself fighting against the idea and against the feeling of guilt when I do take time off.
Have you felt that way? Does the thought of taking time away from home, kids, work or your business make you feel instantly selfish and guilty?
It's Time For A Shift.
It's time to shift from thinking this is as a "personal luxury" to a "personal maintenance plan". When you take care of you, you are in a much better position to take care of others.
Think about your car, do you get mad at your car for needing gas, an oil change and a regular tune-up? Okay you might be mad that it costs money and you don't have the time right now to get it done, but do you think less of your car for needing it? Or do you just understand that this is what needs to happen in order to keep your car running in the best possible shape?
The same goes for you too. In order to keep you running in the best possible shape mentally, physically, and spiritually you need a maintenance plan too.
Your Personal Maintenance Plan
Step 1: Make Your List
Take a few minutes to write out 3-5 things that are soul-filling for you. To help get you started, here are a few from my list:
- Going on a hike with my dog
- A long walk on the beach
- Watching a movie
- Reading a good book (this one has some great ideas on self-care)
- Working on a knitting project while listening to a great audiobook
Need more ideas? How about:
- A long hot bath
- Go for a run
- Go to the art museum
- Read a magazine
- Spend time browsing on Pinterest with a cup of tea
- Bake an awesome dessert (just let me know when and where, I'll come help you eat it!)
- Need more ideas? Check out these posts on self-care
Your down-time doesn't need to cost a lot of money. The simplest ideas often turn out to be the best ideas.
Step 2: Set The Dates
Pick your top 3 ideas and make an appointment with yourself every week for the next 3 weeks. Put it on the calendar and highlight it.
When you make an appointment with yourself, make a commitment to keep it. I'm going to say it again, make a commitment to keep it.
Remember you are just as important as that next client meeting, kids sporting event and doctor's appointment.
It is so easy to say, "I can't right now, it would cause too many problems for _______________". You fill in the blank, husband, kids, work, client's etc.
I'm calling us both out on this one. That is simply not true. A soul-filling activity that helps you re-charge and feel refreshed is a HUGE benefit to both you and the lives you touch on a regular basis.
Step 3: Enjoy Yourself – No Guilt
This one might take you a bit more time to accomplish and possibly a long time. Earlier this year I tried an experiment of taking Monday's off in my business to spend the morning resting and the afternoon catching up on paperwork, marketing, website updates etc.
The mornings were so hard! It would take hours to fight past that feeling of guilt of not "doing something" then I would get mad at myself for feeling guilty. Sheesh!
I can tell you that this does quiet down with practice and re-framing my thought patterns but it still isn't easy.
Step 4: Wash, Rinse, Repeat
I can also tell you that as you start to reap the benefits of these appointments, you will want more.
You will see these blocks of time as precious and well worth the effort to get arranged. The long term benefits will show up in increasing your patience level, your creativity, problem solving skills and more.
Now it's your turn! Share your soul-filling list and post your first appointment in the comments.

A great new way to get customers is through social media marketing. The following article will give you some useful ways to utilize social media marketing to your advantage.
Invite all of your friends to your social media pages. Some of these people may not be interested in your business right now. However, letting them know it exists and giving them a way to share the news with others may help you land big deals and important clients.
If you want to maximize your social media efforts, make sure they all tie together through links. Be sure your blog has easy to see links to your Facebook page, your YouTube videos and Twitter. Be sure your Twitter profile contains a URL for your Facebook profile and your blog. This makes it simple for your customers to follow you in whichever way works best for them.
Really look at what a successful social media marketing strategy will require. If you put too much time and money into trends, then your long-term marketing success will be limited by the duration of each trend. Plan a strategy that encompasses all of your lines of attack and proceed accordingly.
Experiment with social media until you find out what works best for you. Take a look at what your strongest competition is doing, and model your early efforts after their most successful tactics. Study their profiles on social networks, as well as their content and promotions.
It takes time and patience to build any kind of social media network for marketing. It takes time to gain followers, so do not become disappointed if it does not happen right away. It can happen, but your social media posts are unlikely to become global sensations within minutes. Provide good content, frequently update your page and interact with your visitors and in good time you will gain a substantial following.
Do not be afraid to ask for help with your social media marketing. Tap into the expertise of some of the best consultants in the business to improve your brand. If you choose to seek help, however, you have to be willing to pay for it.
Twitter allows you to set your account so that any blog posts will be tweeted automatically. You can also link to quality blog posts from other bloggers which match the topic of your feed. Your Twitter followers will appreciate the quality content, and the bloggers will welcome the exposure.
These days, using social media to market your business is a very intelligent thing to do. Follow the advice offered in this article to begin adjusting yourself and your business to the world of social media. When you see the success you achieve with social media, you will be motivated to do more! Social media marketing can significantly boost your business.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to surgical drainage systems and more particularly to apparatus for draining fluids from a body cavity.
2. Description of the Prior Art
In order for a person to maintain a normal breathing pattern, his pleural cavity must be relatively free of fluids. These fluids, which may be generated in the cavity following, for example, lung surgery, foreign objects piercing the rib cage, or pleurisy, obstruct normal pressure changes in the cavity, thereby interfering with breathing.
Many techniques have been employed to remove this fluid. One method for removing excess fluids is by means of drainage systems such as shown in Bidwell et al. U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,363,626 and 3,363,627. As pointed out in above mentioned patents, the treatment for such pleural cavity imbalance is generally known as "underwater drainage" and involves the removal of fluids from the cavity into a collection chamber and which may include a suction system to maintain any desired degree of negativity in the pleural cavity.
An examination of prior art systems will reveal that there is a need for a drainage system which is not bulky, and which can be set up under emergency conditions without the need to fill the various underwater seal chambers, incorporated therein for pressure regulation purposes, with sterile fluid. Further there is a need for a simple, inexpensive system made of transparent material incorporating means for indicating and monitoring changing pressure conditions in the pleural cavity, so as to enable a clinician with minimal training, to quickly determine pressure changes within the pleural cavity. Standard pressure indication means as now provided in underwater drainage devices give a general indication of pressure conditions in the pleural cavity but are not capable of giving a precise indication of pressure fluctuations within the pleural cavity.
Also in an emergency situation when a patient may be very weak or when dealing with infants that have small pleural cavities, it is important that the additional space in the underwater drainage apparatus, referred to as "dead air space", be reduced as much as possible so as not to tax the already limited energies of the patient in breathing. Most prior art underwater drainage devices expose the patient's pleural cavity directly to a large collection cavity. Thus the patients breathing system must effect pressure variations both of both its own cavity as well as the collection chamber of the drainage apparatus in order to breathe.
Finally as with all drainage systems there is a continuing need for a system which can be placed in an antiseptic state.
The present invention provides for a surgical drainage system that overcomes the disadvantages associated with the prior art devices noted hereinbefore. There is provided a pressure fluctuation indication means that can instantaneously indicate the rate of pressure fluctuation within the pleural cavity. This system is simple and may be made operable, especially in emergency situations, with only minimal preparation. Further, this invention combines therewith an underwater seal that enables the dead air space which is connected with the pleural cavity by the underwater drainage device to be reduced drastically. Finally this invention is of simple construction, inexpensive and easily placed in an antiseptic state.
In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention, a surgical drainage system for the drainage of a cavity is provided which comprises a first collection compartment in communication with the cavity to be drained and a second chamber adjacent thereto. The first and second chambers are placed in fluid communication by a connecting passageway, the volume of which is insignificant with respect to the second compartment. The connecting passageway further provides for visual indication of any oscillation of fluid therein caused by changes in pressure in the pleural cavity.
Additional features and advantages of the invention will be set forth in, or apparent from, the detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the invention found hereinbelow.
FIG. 1 is a plan view of the surgical drainage system in accordance with the invention; and
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional, side elevation view taken along line 2--2 of FIG. 1.
With reference to the Figures and, in particular, to FIG. 2, there is disclosed the preferred embodiment of surgical drainage system 10. For purposes of description, surgical drainage system 10 can be broken into the following functional units: a collecting compartment 12, a second adjacent compartment 14, a passageway 16 connecting the two compartments, an underwater seal chamber 18 that connects the body cavity to the collection chamber 12, and an aperture 20 that connects the collection chamber 12 to a source of vacuum (not shown).
The collection chamber 12 is the chamber for receiving the fluid drained from a body cavity. As shown in FIG. 2, the lower half of rectangularly shaped compartment 12 is partitioned by baffles 22 and 24 into three smaller chambers 26, 28 and 30. Drained fluid fills the smaller chambers sequentially starting with chamber 26, excess fluid then overflowing into chamber 28 and so on until all three chambers are filled. It should be noted since compartment 12, as well as the entire system 10, is comprised of a transparent material, the amount of fluid in collection chamber 12 can be quickly determined by observing the filled state of these smaller chambers 26, 28 and 30. Further, scales may be applied to the external surface of these chambers 26, 28 and 30 to facilitate determination of the fluid content of the collection chamber. It should be noted that the number and size of these smaller chambers may be changed so as to accommodate various rates and amounts of drained fluid and so as to better indicate these amounts and rates to an observer.
The compartment 14 is similarly rectangularly shaped as can be seen in the cross-sectional view depicted in FIG. 2. Compartment 14 shares a common wall 32 with compartment 12. Compartment 14 can alternatively be referred to as a blind chamber since it has only one aperture 34 to provide communication with collection chamber 12.
The passageway 16, that connects the top of compartment 14 through aperture 34 to the bottom of chamber 12 through aperture 37, is formed by an elongated tube, semicircular in cross-section as shown in FIG. 1. Passageway 16 has a volume which is insignificant in comparison to the volume of compartment 14. When fluid enters passageway 16, compartment 14 is effectively closed off from compartment 12. Consequently, because of this sealing effect and because passageway 16 has an insignificant volume in comparison to compartment 14, compartment 14 maintains a constant pressure regardless of the fluid fluctuations in passageway 16.
Located inside collection compartment 12 and generally affixed to the upper wall 36 thereof, is the underwater seal chamber 18. There is provided an aperture 38 in wall 36 through which a thoracotomy tube 40 is force fitted. A cup member 42 is affixed to side walls 44 and 46 and to top wall 36 of the collection chamber 12. A connecting opening 48 from cup member 42 to compartment 12 is formed above the upper end of wall 50 of cup member 42. Opening 48 is directly above chamber 26. Fluid drains from the body cavity through thoracotomy tube 40. Tube 40 projects far enough into cup member 42 so that fluid, as it fills member 42, covers end 52 of tube 40 before it flows through opening 48 into chamber 26 of compartment 12. Also it should be noted that a check valve such as that described in the Bidwell U.S. Pat. No. 3,809,085 can be placed in tube 40 between system 10 and the pleural cavity so as to prevent the flow of fluid back into the pleural cavity.
The collection chamber 12 has an aperture 20 located in wall 36 above chamber 30. Aperture 20 is connected to a source of vacuum through regulator V. The vacuum source and regulator V are of standard designs. (Also a one way flap valve can be inserted between regulator V and aperture 20 which closes, if for some reason, the vacuum source fails.) System 10 can be constructed of any tough, rigid, impact-resistant, transparent plastic capable of being antiseptically cleaned. Further, system 10 can be of one piece construction using a method of manufacture such as, for example, blow molding, pressure forming, injection molding or slush molding. In the alternative, however, the elements of system 10 may be individually manufactured and connected into an integral unit.
In operation of drainage system 10, one end of tube 40 is placed in the body cavity to be drained. The vacuum source is switched on and regulator V is set. The setting of regulator V is such that the proper vacuum is maintained in the pleural body cavity while fluid is drained therefrom so that the normal breathing pattern will not be interrupted.
Fluid flows through tube 40 and into the seal chamber 18. Fluid fills seal 18, so that the tube end 52 is completely submerged thereby, until the fluid overflows the seal chamber 18 and pours into chamber 26 of collection compartment 12.
By locating the seal immediately adjacent the end of the thoracotomy tube 40, the volume of the collection chamber is eliminated from that space which the patient must pressure regulate by his breathing. In most conventional underwater drainage devices the seal is located so that the volume of the collection chamber is included in the volume which the patient must regulate to breathe normally. This places an additional workload on the patient's breathing mechanism at the very time when the patient could least afford it. Thus in the case of an adult patient, seal 18 allows the patient to breathe more easily. Further, seal 18 is vitally essential when system 10 is used on an infant patient, since an infant's pleural cavity is much smaller than one of an adult and thus the additional dead air space of the collection chamber would have a more damaging effect on an infant's breathing function.
If regulator V malfunctions and system 10 is exposed to atmospheric pressure, seal 18 prevents the pleural cavity from being exposed to this pressure and thus prevents lung collapse.
As the fluid overflows seal 18 and fills chamber 26, fluid flows through aperture 36 into passageway 16. Once fluid has filled chamber 26 to a level above aperture 37, second compartment 14 becomes sealed off from the rest of system 10. Since the volume of passageway 16 is insignificant in comparison to compartment 14, the flow of fluid into or out of passageway 16 does not change the pressure in compartment 14. Any oscillations of fluid in passageway 16 are not affected by back pressure in compartment 14. Since changes in pressure in the pleural cavity cause the fluid in passageway 16 to oscillate and since 14 does not influence these oscillations, these pressure changes can be easily and quickly monitored by visually observing these oscillations within passageway 16.
As fluid fills chamber 26, the amount of fluid can be visually observed and scales can be provided on wall 46 of system 10 to provide an accurate determination of the amount of fluid being drained from the patient.
When chamber 26 becomes filled it overflows into chamber 28 and chamber 28, when filled, in turn overflows into chamber 30. Once chambers 26, 28 and 30 have been filled, the remaining upper portion of first compartment 12 is used to contain further amounts of drained fluid.
Although the present invention has been described relative to an examplary embodiment thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that variations and modifications can be effected in these embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention.

Ogilvy shows true colours for Amnesty.
Write for justice.
On October 18th, tens of thousands of young adults will pick up their pens in protest against homophobic and transphobic violence. This 23rd edition of Amnesty's Schrijf-ze-VRIJdag (Write-them-FREEday) was exceptionally renamed Schrijf-ze-VASTdag (Write-them-behind-bars-day). To mobilise as many people as possible, Amnesty International launched an original Facebook app in collaboration with Ogilvy Brussels, which allows young adults to symbolically join the protests in South Africa, condemning violence against homosexuals and transgenders.

The theme of this year's Schrijf-ze-VRIJdag is impunity. Amnesty International is appalled that homophobic and transphobic violence is often left uninvestigated and the perpetrators left unpunished. To call attention to this fact, "Write-them-FREEday" will symbolically become "Write-them-behind-bars-day".
The Facebook app allows people to add their profile picture to a large rainbow flag, which will be sent to South Africa later this year. The flag will be used – profile pictures and all – by the South African LGBT community, during protests in Cape Town and other cities. By posting their picture to the flag, people not only show their support for the LGBT community in South Africa, but they also sign Amnesty's petition that calls the government to look into and punish the violence in question.
The Facebook campaign enables you to effectively show your support for the South African LGBT community, for whom it is often difficult and dangerous to be themselves. Jonathan Vandenbroeck (Milow), actor Timo Descamps and minister Pascal Smet were among the first to post their profile pictures to the rainbow flag.

The Nike Air Presto's neoprene build facilitates easy slip-ons and is such a summer shoe that it 'should' be released in new colors every time the days start to get longer and hotter. Then again, we're craving these simple two-toned colorways because they tend to release with little regularity, so this new Varsity Royal and Obsidian combo with the classic white sole is sure to make a big splash with those who've adopted this Alpha Project standout as one of their go-to lifestyle designs. Click through so you can see more of how these deep ocean blues will make your summer more beautiful at the beach and abroad and grab a pair today from a Nike Sportswear dealer like Titolo.

Kayle Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
August 2012 Buff --> archive build
They finally buffed Righteous Fury's AP scaling. Kayle is now a true hybrid again. This on-hit nonsense can now be put to rest. Rageblade, ho!
CAUTION: Hextech Gunblade nerf
I don't know whether Build 3 will work or not, now that Hextech Gunblade has been heavily nerfed in the AD department. It was briefly a great item on Kayle, but now it is so-so or at best good. I usually play AS/AD or AS/on-hit on Kayle these days, that is, some variation on the themes of the first two builds.
Drive-by update for new masteries
The new mastery tree is kinder to hybrids. I take 21/9/0 for damage and survival.
In particular, dual pen is great for hybrids and works together with Kayle's new passive. Havoc is essential, since it scales equally well with the two types of mixed damage. AP/level rather than %AP is taken because Kayle will not be stacking raw AP well enough for the % bonus to help much. The AP/level mastery can be thrown out in favor of flat armor penetration, especially if you build AD more than on-hit effects; strong synergy with The Black Cleaver, too.
EDIT: Build 3 added after subsequent patch
THIRD BUILD: Recknoning did NOT scale with AD at all after the initial rework. Then they put AD scaling back in, and now it's worth building AD on Kayle again. Kayle can actually hybrid carry now, with AD being better than AP generally, and with MR reduction being better than armor reduction. Or at least that's how a Q-centered playstyle works for me. Here's how it works:
* You should have taken Q, W, and E, and Q should be leveled the most.
* First, you land the Bilgewater Cutlass/ Hextech Gunblade active for your slow, saving Reckoning for later.
* Then you shred MR with Malady and your passive, using Reckoning, of course, for range; level 1 is fine.
* Then you land Reckoning. Chase with Divine Blessing (alt-W) on yourself for move speed if they're too far away.
* Now you can land more auto-attacks if you have to.
Note that this approach does a lot of damage using a Malady/ Hextech Gunblade combination; Q is heavily dual scaled, much like Sivir's Boomerang Blade, making Gunblade a nice nuke booster where AP is slightly weak otherwise.
Taking Guinsoo's Rageblade after Hextech Gunblade lets you build more AP and AS while you're shredding MR, and continues to aid your DPS while you auto-attack after applying the damage and debuff from Reckoning.
If you don't have good team CC and/or tanking, Frozen Mallet instead of Trinity Force can help.
Boots: Sorcerer's Shoes for the most Q damage. Mercury's Treads can be useful. Berserker's Greaves is maybe good if you want to ditch an AS item for something else.
Builds 1 and 2 - not the only way to play anymore
What follows applies specifically to the situation before they re-introduced AD scaling to Reckoning. I will consider reworking or deleting it later on. As I chose not to build AD for exactly that reason, most of what follows works no worse or better than it used to. However, taking advantage of the re-introduced AD scaling as in Build 3 might be more powerful; I thought the "on-hit" style play was strong enough to be viable, but YMMV. For anti-tanking or playing tanky DPS, for example, builds 1 and 2 might still work better.
Rework. :-/
Kayle used to have so-so base damage on Righteous Fury and ok AP scaling on it (30% of AP, nerfed to 20% now). In addition, her passive used to let 30% of your AD count as AP and 15% of your AP count as AD. What this meant was that you could get Rabadon's Deathcap, Hextech Gunblade, Guinsoo's Rageblade, and Nashor's Tooth to get a healthy mix of lifesteal/spell vamp, attack speed, ability damage, base attack damage. Auto-attack used a fair amount of your AP for damage thanks to your E, and this AP was again added to your AD because of your passive. All in all, 45% of your AP counted as AD when using your E (15% from passive + 30% from E). Now you get less than half as much auto-attack power from AP.
So... this is Riot's way of saying that you will never again take Rabadon's Deathcap on Kayle. Ever.
In the old days, it was sort of slow to get started with Kayle (I didn't have *that* much trouble if I just got a Dagger or two early), and then you could do a fair amount of damage while supporting and being relatively sturdy all at the same time.
No more.
OMGWTF nerf
Now it's a 5-second on-hit debuff. 2% armor/MRes reduction, 5 stack maximum. That's 2%, not a flat 2, so basically it's good for focusing Rammus in a teamfight and... not much else.
Assuming you get 5 stacks, that's roughly a 3-4% team damage bonus on a target with 50 armor/MRes. More like 6-8% on a target with 150-300 armor/MRes. It breaks even with Spirit Fire when used on a target with 400 armor, assuming you can get 5 hits in. X-P
On the magic side, for most non-tanks, two stacks of Starcall will be better than 5 stacks of Kayle's new passive.
It's not all bad
Ok. But some things have been improved a bit.
Now it only buffs Kayle's damage by 5%, down from 16% max. However, now it slows more (semi-noticable instead of awful), and the projectile is fast enough to get there before they're half a screen away, making it better for chasing.
HOW THIS AFFECTS THE BUILD:Not a lot. I guess stacking AD doesn't work as well with the nerf to your damage bonus.
HOW THIS AFFECTS GAMEPLAY:You're better at debuffing, and not quite as good at auto-attacking all alone. You should be less willing to fight alone than before, and you will be better at helping the team focus targets by actually slowing them.
15 sec cooldown, slight nerf to heal amount that tapers off to the old value by level 5. AP scaling nerfed from 50% to 35% (or something), so screw AP. Twice as much speed gained for a quarter as long. Again, much better for chasing/escaping in a pinch than before - Alt + W will save you more than ever before, but you can't spam it.
HOW THIS AFFECTS THE BUILD:Regrowth Pendant is taken to cover the slack, quickly upgraded to Philosopher's Stone. Doran's Ring for MP5 isn't really adequate for health management anymore
HOW THIS AFFECTS GAMEPLAY:Use it more for chasing. Heal allies if you want, but ration it a bit more, because we won't be leveling it up and it won't be mana-efficient to spam it. (efficiency improves with level, but this is *not* the first priority - see below)
Shorter cooldown, lower cost, more damage, 50% larger splash radius, 33% nerf on the AP scaling. Damage bonus is now 10 per level, maxing at a B.F. Sword and some change with no AP/AD investment. (Funny enough, it's actually a Tiamat-sized damage bonus, but my god, is the radius bigger!)
HOW THIS AFFECTS THE BUILD:Attack speed rules, AP drools. Level this skill up a lot. It used to not help much to level E, but now it does. Get this maxed at level 9, and your mid-game will be strong - as long as you have ASpd to back it up.
HOW THIS AFFECTS GAMEPLAY:* First 9 levels are stronger. Spamming E is cheaper, the cooldown is lower, it splashes more, and it hurts more. Expect to be strong mid-game.
* 50% splash radius increase lets you harass-farm to your angel heart's content. It's not even fair how you can just mow down a whole wave of minions while your enemies have to run around flapping their arms like chickens trying not to get mixed up in it.
Same as before.
Now that Reckoning has AD scaling again, AD and particularly Gunblade are good on Kayle, while AP stacking is still not that great with the old passive gone and with the nerfed ratio on E. I tested a little, and leveling Q early is fine for skirmishes, but not as good at farming.
Items - these are good
Philosopher's Stone
Adapt to the situation. e.g., Wit's End if Annie is melting faces. Madred's Bloodrazor early if they're tanky, but it's one of the best DPS items mid-to-late game in any case; Madred's Razor early if you want some armor. Sword of the Divine for Jax, Sivir, other dodgey champs. The Black Cleaver is just great, and more so if you have AD on your team. Frozen Mallet is potentially good in any case, if you don't need to be a primary DPS yourself. Nashor's Tooth if you want to keep your E up and your heals flowing; Stinger is a decent compromise early-to-mid game.
Anyway, there are a lot of items to choose from. I posted two sample builds - the first one is more DPS, and the second is more about debuffs and team focusing. You could even go a little bit tankier, maybe selling Philosopher's Stone for Banshee's Veil later on.
EDIT: Gunblade is still good late-game
One point I hadn't thought out well enough before:
Given the larger radius of Righteous Fury, the splash, lifesteal, and spell vamp on Hextech Gunblade should more than justify it. Just make sure you have 100% bonus attack speed or so first to make the most of it.
Hextech Gunblade is not as good for single-target roflstomping as it used to be, but for splashing and spell-vamping, it's probably better overall now.
60 AD, of which 40% (24 AD) splashes. 70 AP, 20% used for splash damage: 28 magic damage to primary target AND nearby targets. 88 Damage added to main target, 52 damage added to other targets. You also get a second copy of Reckoning. Still nice, but the old passive and the old AP scaling made this a lot better, to the point where it was better justified with less ASpd.
Anyway, I'll probably still get it sometimes. It just doesn't seem obviously mandatory quite like before. I need to playtest this, though.
EDIT: Tested! I like Hextech Gunblade as a last item. After you complete Nashor's Tooth, you have enough MP5 that you can easily sell Philosopher's Stone to make room at the end. Both builds now end this way.
(^ What kind of damage is your team doing? Is it lopsided one way?)
If you get Frozen Mallet, these are tanky items that can let you spam slows more. Banshee's Veil is probably better, but it depends on how good you are at making it count vs how good your enemies are at making you waste the passive.
I haven't tried this yet, but it sounds appealing if you have sustaining trouble in lane. 15% spell vamp should be something like 10 life steal per minion hit at Righteous Fury level 5. You should be able to spell vamp for 100 life every wave, or something. Will set you back some gold, but maybe after you get +50% attack speed or something this can pay off by keeping you in lane and alive.
*Maybe* I could see finishing a build with:
I'd want at least +100% attack speed first, though. The Gunblade is good for lifesteal/spell vamp in particular, and you *might* be able to attack fast enough for the .20 AP scaling to Righteous Fury and the 1 AP scaling on Reckoning to be somewhat worth it when combined (compared to other options).
However, if you've played Kayle before, the impact this will have will be a lot less than before, unless you manage to splash a lot more often.
This item is back in style again. Now that Reckoning dual-scales at 1:1 ratio each, it's great. Back when they removed AD scaling temporarily, it wasn't worth getting a gunblade.
Rageblade is iffy because AP still isn't as strong as it could be, but if you get an early gunblade, a rageblade for AS can help. They actually work together.
Build examples
Build 1is a carry build, tank-slayer especially. You will need more CC then you're putting out.
Build 2is a DPS support bruiser dubuff build. Slow with the mallet, lower the armor with the cleaver, and keep on slowing and debuffing with Stark's while you buff and lifesteal. Decent damage, and it really helps your team focus targets. Also a pretty sturdy build, just an Aegis of the Legion away from tanky. (Not sure that's really necessary unless you're totally tankless; it could be taken mid-game and the Hextech Gunblade could be thrown out)
zomg, try to get Janna on your team
ASpd builds + Janna = lots of ASpd + free BF sword = win
Seriously. Let's look at what you get:
* TWO slows ( Zephyr + Reckoning)
* TWO free temporary BF swords that splash ( Righteous Fury + Eye Of The Storm)
* A shield AND a heal ( Eye Of The Storm+ Divine Blessing)
* Massive knockback ult ( Monsoon)
* 3 seconds of invincibility ( Intervention)
You just have to work together. A huge splashing double BF sword and a shield every time you want to engage? Yes, please! All you need to do is build some ASpd.

Results showed that 86% of Non-BedInABox owners tossed 5 or more times per night compared to 22% of BedInABox memory foam mattress owners. Tossing and turning at night directly impacts the quality of sleep you get. It is caused by pressure buildup in your body due to your mattress. Once your body exceeds .6 psi your body will experience capillary inclusion, the cutting off of blood flow. Your brain then sends out a signal to adjust your position allowing proper blood flow. This repositioning interrupts your body's desired sleep pattern and will lower your quality of sleep. Our mattresses are designed to help prevent this from occurring.
An impressive 99% of BedInABox owners said they TOSS & TURN LESS on their BedInABox mattress than their previous mattress. Survey respondents report previously sleeping on innerspring, air, waterbed, latex, & NON-BedInABox memory foam mattresses. BedInABox memory foam mattresses help overcome the main obstacle of getting the sleep your body needs by cutting back on the number of times you toss at night.
Lastly, we asked BedInABox owners and Non-BedInABox owners to rate the comfort of their mattress. As you can see in the graph to the left, the results again weigh heavily in favor of the BedInABox mattress. Comfort is, of course, subjective to each individual. To back this claim on a scientific level we pressure-mapped our mattresses. The result proves what we believe to be the world's ideal sleeping surface for 98% of people.

The Patriots are the obvious favorite as the NFL postseason approaches, but are they a lock to get to Arizona and win Super Bowl XLII? Below are my playoff predictions all the way through the Super Bowl, so read on to see whether New England's quest for a prefect season will be derailed.
AFC Wild Card Weekend
No. 5 Jacksonville over No. 4 Pittsburgh
Jacksonville won in Pittsburgh in Week 15 and these teams know each other well. They have similar styles and this should be a very physical game. The Jaguars are built to win in cold weather in January and can adapt their style to play in any situation. They are hitting on all cylinders, while the Steelers' running game is in shambles and they must depend on QB Ben Roethlisberger and the passing game. The Pittsburgh defense is not its usual dominant self, either, and Jacksonville will out-physical Pittsburgh in its own stadium, maintaining a reputation as the team nobody wants to play this postseason.

Screenplay Genre: Action / Drama / History
Movie Time: 169 minutes
During the conflict of World War II, at a base in the United States, workers type letters to the parents of lost soldiers. It comes to one worker's attention that three brothers have all recently been killed in combat, and that the mother is soon to receive the three telegrams informing her of this tragedy on the same day. It appears that there is a fourth brother somewhere in Germany, though his exact location is unknown, if he is even still alive. Yet, it is decided by General George C. Marshall (Harve Presnell) that a unit should be sent to find and rescue Private James Francis Ryan (Matt Damon). (0:34:43)
2. LOCK IN (End of Act One)
Captain John H. Miller (Tom Hanks) is delegated the mission to find Pvt. Ryan from his superior officer. Miller, always one to follow orders and obey protocol, chooses the best among his Unit and recruits a translator before leading them off into the German frontier, still embroiled in the height of war, in search for Pvt. Ryan. (0:40:15)
3. FIRST CULMINATION (Midpoint)
After stumbling upon a German bunker, it's argued among the Unit that their objective is to find Pvt. Ryan, not to take unnecessary risks to overtake this bunker, but Cpt. Miller reminds them that their first objective is to win the war. The Unit storms the bunker and successfully overtakes it; though not before losing their T-5 Medic Irwin Wade (Giovanni Ribisi). They capture a German soldier and after beating him, a debate ensues whether or not to kill him. In the end, Miller decides to let him go. (1:27:51)
4. MAIN CULMINATION (End of Act Two)
On their march, the Unit takes down a German tank with the help of a second, unidentified Unit. Upon introductions, they find that Pvt. Ryan is one among them. Miller instructs Ryan on their mission, however, it is made clear that the American occupation of the village Ryan and his Unit are holding is pivotal to winning the war, and Ryan refuses to go home until it's properly secured. Miller's decides to stay and help defend the village from a German attack and bring Ryan home afterwards. (1:48:57)
The battle rages on until Miller and Ryan's Units have done their duty to hold the village long enough for reinforcements to arrive, but not until the search for Pvt. Ryan claims one more casualty: Miller himself. Ryan stays at Miller's side as he dies, long enough to hear Miller's dying words to Ryan, to "earn it"; words that haunt Ryan even up until the present day. (2:30:35)

Spurred by additions to the government's fund for trade-in incentives, Russia's new-car market finished 2010 on track to achieve pre-crisis sales levels over the next two years.
According to the Association of European Businesses (which compiles Russian sales data), sales of new cars and light commercial vehicles are expected to rise another 17 percent in 2011 to about 2.24 million units after gaining 30 percent to 1.91 million units in 2010. The Moscow-based AEB said sales will likely jump another 23 percent in 2012 to about 2.9 million units.
That level would come close to 2008 sales, before demand was halved in 2009, and help Russia compete with Germany for the title of European car-sales leader. The AEB said Russia was on track to challenge Germany's automotive sales lead before the global economic crisis hit in 2009.
David Thomas, chairman of the AEB's autos committee and head of Volvo Cars Russia, said that a 2.9 million market is possible in 2011. He added that in 2012 "we will get back to the 2.8 million to 2.9 million level."
Under a government program launched in March 2010, owners can receive RUB50,000 ($1,673) to swap cars that are at least 10 years old for new models built in Russia.
The fund was enriched in the summer and autumn of 2010 to a total of RUB34 billion (about $1.15 billion), indicating sufficient support to result to more than 690,000 sales. [via autonews - sub. required]

Yellowstone Angler Guide Service
Whether floating the Yellowstone or wade fishing one of the spring creeks, you'll enjoy spending a day on the water with one of Montana's very best fly fishing guides. Here at the Yellowstone angler we act as booking agents for the finest Outfitters and guides in Southwest Montana. Most of the time the guides utilize McKenzie style drift boats, the finest craft for float fishing the Yellowstone and other large rivers in Montana. On some rocky streams that are more difficult to navigate, the best inflatable rafts are used that are equipped for anglers. Depending on the river, and the conditions, we'll often stop to wade fish the better riffles and runs. You can relax while our guides prepare a gourmet streamside lunch and enjoy the spectacular views of the Absaroka mountains and Montana's Paradise Valley.
Booking Your Guide Trip
The best way to book your trip is to call us at 406-222-7130 and we can discuss your trip in detail. Logan Brown is in charge of bookings and the best person to talk to, but any of us here at the shop can help you set up your trip. You can also e-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com You can also fax us at 406-222-9020, or send a letter by snail mail to Yellowstone Angler, P.O. Box 629, Livingston, Montana 59047.
Give us an idea of the time period you are thinking about, the number of days you would like to fish, and the number of days you would like to utilize guides for float or wade trips. It is important to book as early as possible, especially if you would like to fish with your favorite Outfitters or guides, or need spring creek reservations which are very limited. We'll do our best to line you up with the Outfitter or guide you request but keep in mind that returning clients retain the option to rebook their favorite Outfitter or guide for the next year (for the same approximate dates). If clients do not exercise this option at the end of their trip or make other arrangements, we must book the Outfitters and guides on a first-come, first-served basis.
Ask Our Advice
We will be happy to work up an itinerary that is perfect for you, and try to make all the necessary reservations for you on private waters we fish including the spring creeks, Burns Lake, and other local private lakes. During prime time, it helps if you can be a little flexible with your schedule. In addition, we can book accommodations for you at any of our local motels, B & B's, resorts and guest ranches. We do all this as a service to our clients at no additional charge. (If you're hunting for ideas yourself, be sure to look at our Area Info page.)
Once we set up a tentative itinerary for your trip, we'll send this back to you by e-mail or letter. If this itinerary looks OK you are set, otherwise we'll try to make whatever revisions you request. Once we have your guided days set, we'll ask for a Visa or MasterCard and charge you a deposit of $150 per guided day. You can also send us a check or money order if you like. Then you can pay the balance here at the end of your trip with a credit card, check or cash- whatever you would prefer.
Float Trips: Major "blue ribbon" rivers including the Yellowstone, Bighorn, Madison, Missouri, Jefferson, Gallatin, Ruby, Boulder, and Stillwater River. Most of these call for McKenzie style drift boats, but the smaller rivers may require a raft depending on the time of year.
Wade Trips: Some of the finest fishing close to Livingston are the famous paradise Valley Spring Creeks - Armstrong's, Depuy's, and Nelson's. These spring creeks are on private ranches and the owners charge rod fees of $40-$125 depending on the season and stream. Other good streams we wade fish are the Boulder River, West Boulder River, Stillwater, Gallatin River, East Gallatin, and a handful of "top secret" streams we won't mention on line. If you enjoy fishing small mountain streams for 8-14 inch trout, that see very little fishing pressure, you'll enjoy places like Mill Creek and its tributaries, Sixmile Creek, Big Creek, Tom Miner Creek, and the Upper Shields, all close to Livingston.
Yellowstone National Park Trips: We are one of a few select fly shops that maintain a commercial use fishing license inside Yellowstone National Park. This allows our Yellowstone fly fishing guides to take you to superb rivers and streams within Yellowstone National Park including Slough Creek, the Lamar, Soda butte, the Madison, the Firehole, and many others. Those who are willing to "hike and strike" will experience some of the most remote and beautiful streams in the country.
What's Included
Leaders / Tippet
Rod and Reels (if needed)
Boots and Waders (if needed)
The guides and outfitters we work with go to great lengths to make your lunch a memorable part of the fishing day. At the time of your booking please specifiy if you would like a "grilled lunch" or a quick lunch. There is no extra cost for a grilled lunch other than a little extra time spent relaxing instead of fishing. The guide fee also includes a shuttle, so that you can get on the river more quickly and have the guide's rig at your take out at the end of your float. Please note that half day trips do not include lunch, but your guide will have a cooler with beverages for the day and space for you to bring your own snacks.
What's Not Included
Fishing Licenses
Guide Gratuity (20% of trip cost recommended)
Entry Fee to YNP (if applicable)
Beer or Alcoholic beverages
Hats / Polarized Sun Glasses
Raincoats / warmer clothing (if needed)
Sunscreen / lip balm
Deposits, Payments and Refunds
When you make your booking, an authorized Yellowstone Angler agent will ask for a deposit of $150 per guide / per day of fishing. Once we have finalized your arrangements we will charge your credit card to secure your booking. The easiest way to secure your deposit is with your Visa or MasterCard, or if you prefer, you can send us a check or money order.
If you wish to pay the deposit with a check we must receive the check within two weeks from the day you make the booking. This option is only available for bookings at least 2 months in advance. In the event that we have not heard from you, or received any deposit, we'll make one more effort to contact you. If we have not received a deposit within two weeks from the date the booking was made, we will be forced to cancel all of your reservations.
Once the deposit has been made we will send you a detailed itinerary that will serve as your confirmation letter. Additional deposits may be required for private waters, and these must be made by separate check. We'll detail this for you.
Cancelation Policy
The deposit policy that we have worked out for all the Outfitters and guides we work with is as such: Deposits are fully refundable up to 30 days prior to your trip. Within 30 days of your trip, we will still refund in full if we can rebook the Outfitters or guides (or re-book the dates reserved on private waters) for the days you have canceled. We do ask that you contact us immediately if you need to either change your dates or to have your booking canceled, (this will give us more lead time to re-book the guide, which will help us get you your deposit back).
If you must cancel within one week of your trip, we will require full payment for the guide fees for those days you have booked and charge your credit card on file for the entire balance. We must do this to protect the guides and outfitters for lost days in the prime-time of the season. We will then make every effort possible to re-book your guides for the days that were cancelled. If we are able to re-book the guides for the days you had to cancel, we will refund 100% of your deposit or apply it to another upcoming trip, whichever you prefer.
Final Payments for your trip can be made at our shop. You can pay us at that time with cash, check or by using your VISA or MasterCard. We maintain a separate account for the Outfitters and guides, and these payments will be kept separate from your bill for flies, tackle and other equipment. Remember to bring some cash to tip your guides. Note: we are often asked how much anglers should tip their guides: $80 to $100 a day is what most of the guides average, so use those figures as guidelines.

I realized the other day that I have yet to post my training schedule and I'd love to... the minute I actually finish putting it together. Yes, it's true. I'm a bit behind and haven't fully ironed out my training schedule. I'm using one of the Furman Less-Is-More plans, which includes 3 days of running, 3 days of cross training & 1 rest day and I'm feeling really good about it. The three runs consist of speed or hill work (or sometimes a combo of both), a tempo run, and then a long run. For cross training I've been doing hot yoga, spinning, elliptical, strength training, and even a bit of swimming. I'm seriously enjoying a training schedule in which I feel like my training is coming along, and still get to participate in my favorite non-running workouts as well. Good stuff!
But like I said, the entire plan still isn't complete because I'm planning on modifying some of the long runs to go a bit longer, or to include races such as the Philadelphia Rock n Roll Half in September, or the Fifth Avenue Mile. So instead of posting the entire plan at once, I think I'll post one week at a time and take it from there. This week's plan was as follows:
|Cross-train 30 – 45 min.
|Key Run #1
|Cross-train 30 – 45 min.
|Key Run #2
|Key Run #3
|Cross-train 30 – 45 min.
|Swim, Yoga
|10-20 minute warm-up 12x400m (90 sec. RI) 10 minute cool-down
|Elliptical, Core
|1 mile easy
|Distance: 12 miles
|Cross Training TBD
|4 mile run @ Tempo pace 1 mile easy
|Pace: PMP + 45 sec./mile
But it's going more like this...
|10-20 minute warm-up 12x400m (90 sec. RI) 10 minute cool-down
|Hot Yoga
|4 mile run @ Tempo pace 1 mile easy
|Distance: 12 miles
|Pace: PMP + 45 sec./mile
It's been one of those crazy busy weeks so I'm just trying to fit things in as best I can. Monday's swim was great but hard- I forgot how tough swimming can be! Tuesday's speed workout went well enough but I did have to take it inside to the treadie because I had plans that night and it was still 90+ degrees when I needed to fit my workout in. I ended up running just over 6 miles. Wednesday's Elliptical + Core workout turned into hot yoga when I realized my legs were TIRED after 4 straight days of hard workouts (Saturday was a 10.5 miler, Sunday was pilates & spin) and last night, Thursday, I felt like going out instead of my tempo run so now I'll run my tempo tonight, make Saturday a rest day, and long run on Sunday. I think that's a good plan, right?
But seriously, 100 days to go? Marathon season for me is about running, training, but also about designing! I've been working on some new ideas for this year's NYC Marathon race bling and have 2 that I love but I'm having trouble deciding which one is my favorite. Any chance you'd like to help? Head over to my facebook page for a peak at the 2 designs I've come up with and help me decide which to offer on my site! You may even just win a necklace ;)
Now back to training.... I'm hoping tonight's tempo run is a good one and this whole confidence thing I've got going at the moment continues. Will keep you posted. In the meantime, how's your training going? Any new training tips out there?
