I am ready to install my fiberglass shower pan and walls. I have heard about setting the pan in something to level it and to make it more secure. Sounds great to me. Just what exactly do you set it in? How much of it? Can I just dump it on the wood, or should I put roofing felt under it first? I appreciate the help!
Lightweight concrete, known as Gypcrete and Structolite brands, is good.

Equality before the law
Equality before the law, also known as equality under the law, equality in the eyes of the law, or legal equality, is the principle under which all people are subject to the same laws of justice (due process).[1] Laws raise important and complex issues concerning equality, fairness, and justice.
Article 7 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that "All are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to equal protection of the law."[1]
According to the United Nations, this principle is particularly important to the minorities and to the poor.[1]
Thus, the law and the judges must treat everyone equally before the law regardless of their race, gender, gender identity, national origin, color, ethnicity, religion, disability, or other characteristics, without privilege, discrimination, or bias.
Equality before the law is one of the basic principles of liberalism.[2][3]
In his famous funeral oration of 431 BC, the Athenian leader Pericles discussed this concept. This may be the first known instance.
"If we look to the laws, they afford equal justice to all in their private differences; if no social standing, advancement in public life falls to reputation for capacity, class considerations not being allowed to interfere with merit; nor again does poverty bar the way"[4]
Classical liberalism[edit]
Classical liberalism calls for equality before the law, not for equality of outcome.[2] Classical liberalism opposes pursuing group rights at the expense of individual rights.[3]
Feminists call for equality before the law regardless of gender.[5]
Still in 1988 the later supreme court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote: "Generalizations about the way women or men are ... cannot guide me reliably in making decisions about particular individuals".[6] In an ACLU's s Women's Rights Project in the 1970s Ginsburg challenged the laws that gave health service benefits to wives of servicemen but not to husbands of servicewomen and prohibited women from certain businesses including running a bar alone.[5]
However, some radical feminists have opposed equality before the law, because they think that it maintains the weak position of the weak.[7]
The phrase "Equality before the law" is the motto of the State of Nebraska and appears on its state seal.
Parricide law[edit]
Article 200 of the Criminal Code of Japan, the penalty regarding parricide, was declared unconstitutional for violating the equality under the law by the Supreme Court of Japan in 1973, as a result of the trial of the Tochigi patricide case.[8]

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Authorities are investigating the second suspicious letter in a week sent to Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's office.
Andrew Doba, Malloy's spokesman, said a staff person in the governor's office in the state Capitol opened a letter containing white powder on Monday afternoon. State Capitol Police were notified and a hazardous materials team removed the letter from Malloy's policy office on the fourth floor.
A similar letter was found on Feb. 19 after Malloy's office received a phone call threatening that anthrax was contained inside. That letter was found in the mailroom at the Legislative Office Building and wasn't found to be hazardous.
Malloy was out-of-state at the National Governor's Association meeting in Washington, D.C. on Monday.

Osteoarthritis of the HandOsteoarthritis is a condition in which the cartilage that protects and cushions the joints breaks down over time. Eventually, the bones—formerly separated by the cartilage—rub against each other, resulting in damage to the tissue and underlying bone and causing painful joint symptoms. Osteoarthritis is common in the finger and thumb joints, especially at the joints near the tips of the fingers and at the joint that joins the thumb to the hand, near the wrist.

Filariasis | |
Classification and external resources | |
Life cycle of Wuchereria bancrofti, a parasite that causes filariasis
MeSH | D005368 |
Filariasis (or philariasis) is a parasitic disease (usually an infectious tropical disease) that is caused by thread-like nematodes (roundworms) belonging to the superfamily Filarioidea,[1] also known as "filariae".[2] These are transmitted from host to host by blood-feeding arthropods, mainly black flies and mosquitoes.
Eight known filarial nematodes use humans as their definitive hosts. These are divided into three groups according to the niche within the body they occupy:
- Lymphatic filariasis is caused by the worms Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi, and Brugia timori. These worms occupy the lymphatic system, including the lymph nodes; in chronic cases, these worms lead to the disease elephantiasis.
- Subcutaneous filariasis is caused by Loa loa (the eye worm), Mansonella streptocerca, and Onchocerca volvulus. These worms occupy the subcutaneous layer of the skin, in the fat layer. L. loa causes Loa loa filariasis, while O. volvulus causes river blindness.
- Serous cavity filariasis is caused by the worms Mansonella perstans and Mansonella ozzardi, which occupy the serous cavity of the abdomen.
The adult worms, which usually stay in one tissue, release early larval forms known as microfilariae into the host's bloodstream. These circulating microfilariae can be taken up with a blood meal by the arthropod vector; in the vector, they develop into infective larvae that can be transmitted to a new host.
Individuals infected by filarial worms may be described as either "microfilaraemic" or "amicrofilaraemic", depending on whether or not microfilariae can be found in their peripheral blood. Filariasis is diagnosed in microfilaraemic cases primarily through direct observation of microfilariae in the peripheral blood. Occult filariasis is diagnosed in amicrofilaraemic cases based on clinical observations and, in some cases, by finding a circulating antigen in the blood.
Signs and symptoms[edit]
The most spectacular symptom of lymphatic filariasis is elephantiasis—edema with thickening of the skin and underlying tissues—which was the first disease discovered to be transmitted by mosquito bites.[3] Elephantiasis results when the parasites lodge in the lymphatic system.
Elephantiasis affects mainly the lower extremities, while the ears, mucous membranes, and amputation stumps are affected less frequently. However, different species of filarial worms tend to affect different parts of the body: Wuchereria bancrofti can affect the legs, arms, vulva, breasts, and scrotum (causing hydrocele formation), while Brugia timori rarely affects the genitals.[citation needed] Those who develop the chronic stages of elephantiasis are usually amicrofilaraemic, and often have adverse immunological reactions to the microfilariae, as well as the adult worms.[citation needed]
The subcutaneous worms present with skin rashes, urticarial papules, and arthritis, as well as hyper- and hypopigmentation macules. Onchocerca volvulus manifests itself in the eyes, causing "river blindness" (onchocerciasis), one of the leading causes of blindness in the world.[citation needed] Serous cavity filariasis presents with symptoms similar to subcutaneous filariasis, in addition to abdominal pain, because these worms are also deep-tissue dwellers.
Filariasis is usually diagnosed by identifying microfilariae on Giemsa stained, thin and thick blood film smears, using the "gold standard" known as the finger prick test. The finger prick test draws blood from the capillaries of the finger tip; larger veins can be used for blood extraction, but strict windows of the time of day must be observed. Blood must be drawn at appropriate times, which reflect the feeding activities of the vector insects. Examples are W. bancrofti, whose vector is a mosquito; night is the preferred time for blood collection. Loa loa's vector is the deer fly; daytime collection is preferred. This method of diagnosis is only relevant to microfilariae that use the blood as transport from the lungs to the skin. Some filarial worms, such as M. streptocerca and O. volvulus, produce microfilarae that do not use the blood; they reside in the skin only. For these worms, diagnosis relies upon skin snips, and can be carried out at any time.
Concentration methods[edit]
This section needs additional citations for verification. (May 2010) |
Various concentration methods are applied: membrane filter, Knott's concentration method, and sedimentation technique.
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and antigenic assays, which detect circulating filarial antigens, are also available for making the diagnosis. The latter are particularly useful in amicrofilaraemic cases. Spot tests for antigen [1] are far more sensitive, and allow the test to be done any time, rather in the late hours.
Lymph node aspirate and chylus fluid may also yield microfilariae. Medical imaging, such as CT or MRI, may reveal "filarial dance sign" in chylus fluid; X-ray tests can show calcified adult worms in lymphatics. The DEC provocation test is performed to obtain satisfying numbers of parasites in daytime samples. Xenodiagnosis is now obsolete, and eosinophilia is a nonspecific primary sign.
Human filarial nematode worms have complicated lifecycles, which primarily consists of five stages. After the male and female worms mate, the female gives birth to live microfilariae by the thousands. The microfilariae are taken up by the vector insect (intermediate host) during a blood meal. In the intermediate host, the microfilariae molt and develop into third-stage (infective) larvae. Upon taking another blood meal, the vector insect injects the infectious larvae into the dermis layer of the skin. After about one year, the larvae molt through two more stages, maturing into the adult worms.
In 1993, the International Task Force for Disease Eradication declared lymphatic filariaisis to be one of six potentially eradicable diseases.[4] Studies have demonstrated transmission of the infection can be broken when a single dose of combined oral medicines is consistently maintained annually for approximately seven years.[5] With consistent treatment, and since the disease needs a human host, the reduction of microfilariae means the disease will not be transmitted, the adult worms will die out, and the cycle will be broken.[5]
The strategy for eliminating transmission of lymphatic filariasis is mass distribution of medicines that kill the microfilariae and stop transmission of the parasite by mosquitoes in endemic communities.[5] In sub-Saharan Africa, albendazole (donated by GlaxoSmithKline) is being used with ivermectin (donated by Merck & Co.) to treat the disease, whereas elsewhere in the world, albendazole is used with diethylcarbamazine.[4] Using a combination of treatments better reduces the number of microfilariae in blood.[5] Avoiding mosquito bites, such as by using insecticide-treated mosquito bed nets, also reduces the transmission of lymphatic filariasis.[5][6]
The efforts of the Global Programme to Eliminate LF are estimated to have prevented 6.6 million new filariasis cases from developing in children between 2000 and 2007, and to have stopped the progression of the disease in another 9.5 million people who had already contracted it.[7] Dr. Mwele Malecela, who chairs the programme, said: "We are on track to accomplish our goal of elimination by 2020."[8] In 2010, the WHO published a detailed progress report on the elimination campaign in which they assert that of the 81 countries with endemic LF, 53 have implemented mass drug administration, and 37 have completed five or more rounds in some areas, though urban areas remain problematic.[9]
In October 2012, Fiji announced an initiative to eradicate filariasis through a three-day campaign to distribute tablets to destroy the infestation.[10]
The recommended treatment for patients outside the United States is albendazole (a broad-spectrum anthelmintic) combined with ivermectin.[4][11] A combination of diethylcarbamazine and albendazole is also effective.[4] All of these treatments are microfilaricides; they have no effect on the adult worms. Different trials were made to use the known drug at its maximum capacity in absence of new drugs. In a study from India, it has been shown that a formulation of albendazole has better anti-filarial efficacy than albendazole itself.[12]
In 2003, the common antibiotic doxycycline was suggested for treating elephantiasis.[13] Filarial parasites have symbiotic bacteria in the genus Wolbachia, which live inside the worm and seem to play a major role in both its reproduction and the development of the disease. Clinical trials in June 2005 by the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine reported an eight-week course almost completely eliminated microfilaraemia.[14][15]
Filariasis affects 120 million people[16] and one billion people at risk for infection.[17] It is considered endemic in tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, Africa, Central and South America, and Pacific Island nations.
In communities where lymphatic filariasis is endemic, as many as 10% of women can be afflicted with swollen limbs, and 50% of men can suffer from mutilating genital symptoms.[4]
Filariasis is considered endemic in 73 countries; 37 of these are in Africa.
In the Americas, it is present in Brazil, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Guyana, Haiti, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago.
In the Middle East, it is present only in Yemen.
In Asia, it is present in Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Maldives, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Timor-Leste and Vietnam.
In the Pacific region, it is endemic in American Samoa, the Cook Islands, Fiji, French Polynesia, Micronesia, Niue, Samoa, Tonga, Tuvalu, Papua New Guinea, and Vanuatu.
In many of these countries, considerable progress has been made towards elimination of filariasis. Elimination of the disease may have been achieved in several countries, but awaits official confirmation by the WHO.
Lymphatic filariasis is thought to have affected humans since about 4000 years ago.[18] Artifacts from ancient Egypt (2000 BC) and the Nok civilization in West Africa (500 BC) show possible elephantiasis symptoms. The first clear reference to the disease occurs in ancient Greek literature, where scholars differentiated the often similar symptoms of lymphatic filariasis from those of leprosy.
The first documentation of symptoms occurred in the 16th century, when Jan Huyghen van Linschoten wrote about the disease during the exploration of Goa. Similar symptoms were reported by subsequent explorers in areas of Asia and Africa, though an understanding of the disease did not begin to develop until centuries later.
In 1866, Timothy Lewis, building on the work of Jean-Nicolas Demarquay and Otto Henry Wucherer, made the connection between microfilariae and elephantiasis, establishing the course of research that would ultimately explain the disease. In 1876, Joseph Bancroft discovered the adult form of the worm. In 1877, the lifecycle involving an arthropod vector was theorized by Patrick Manson, who proceeded to demonstrate the presence of the worms in mosquitoes. Manson incorrectly hypothesized that the disease was transmitted through skin contact with water in which the mosquitoes had laid eggs. In 1900, George Carmichael Low determined the actual transmission method by discovering the presence of the worm in the proboscis of the mosquito vector.[18]
Other animals[edit]
Filariasis can also affect domesticated animals, such as cattle, sheep, and dogs.
- Verminous haemorrhagic dermatitis is a clinical disease in cattle due to Parafilaria bovicola.
- Intradermal onchocercosis of cattle results in losses in leather due to Onchocerca dermata, O. ochengi, and O. dukei. O. ochengi is closely related to human O. volvulus (river blindness), sharing the same vector, and could be useful in human medicine research.
- Stenofilaria assamensis and others cause different diseases in Asia, in cattle and zebu.
- "Summer bleeding" is hemorrhagic subcutaneous nodules in the head and upper forelimbs, caused by Parafilaria multipapillosa (North Africa, Southern and Eastern Europe, Asia and South America). See: "The Emperor and the Parasite." By Heather Pringle | March 3, 2011 at: [2]. Accessed 9 March 2011.
- Heart filariasis is caused by Dirofilaria immitis.
Research directions[edit]
University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) inventors have developed a novel vaccine for the prevention of lymphatic filariasis. This vaccine has been shown to elicit strong, protective immune responses in mouse models of lymphatic filariasis infection.The immune response elicited by this vaccine has been demonstrated to be protective against both W. bancrofti and B. malayi infection.[19]

Swiss Watch Sales Plummet Q1 2009
Before getting to the nasty figures, this situation is also a blessing in disguise. The last few years of the watch industry was almost a set-up for disaster. You had too many brands, too little realistic values, and way more watches than we had people to service them. Thus, there was going to be a major problem in a few years anyway. Now companies are realizing that they need to have actual back-end support on the technical and customer service side of things, and they are realizing that consumers are actually interested in the fact that if they pay $100,000 for a watch, it might actually be worth close to $100,000.
So, here are the numbers from the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry in brief. Sales in all top 30 markets are down. Here is the damages in some key markets from one year ago. US down 43%, Hong Kong down 22%, Japan down 29%, China down 36%, UAE down 34%, Russian down 61%, and Singapore down 30%. Big hits all around, but remember these are numbers just for Swiss watches.
It may look as though people just aren't buying as many watches these days. This assumption would be wrong. Recall that Swiss watches are for the most part the most expensive watches. Almost all segments of consumers are reducing the amount they are spending on timepieces, but they are still buying watches. Thus, the Japanese and American owned brands aren't doing amazingly, but aren't hurting nearly as badly. Some brands are even likely doing better given the focus on less expensive brands.
The message to watch companies is to focus on value. Make sure a watch demanding $5,000 is actually worth that, and can be communicated well to the consumer. Otherwise they will need to focus on the sub $1,000 segment if they wish to see any retail space in the next few years. Lastly, watch companies must adapt to the times and embrace the Internet as a strong sales, distribution, and marketing channel. They can learn from Rolex, the most powerful watch brand in terms of value, which also spends the most money on advertising. Coincidence? I think not. Estimates see these trends improving over the next few years, but we shall see just how much, and in what way that happens.

By Sara Sjolin, MarketWatch
LONDON (MarketWatch) — Banks led European stocks in an end-of-week rally Friday, rebounding from a sharp selloff a day earlier in the wake of disappointment with the European Central Bank, while solid nonfarm payrolls data from the U.S. boosted sentiment.
The Stoxx Europe 600 index /quotes/zigman/2380150/realtime XX:SXXP -1.25% rose 2.4% to close at 265.58 on Friday, the highest closing level since early April. On a weekly basis, the index closed higher for a ninth consecutive week, up 2.2%.
On Thursday, the index tumbled 1.3% as ECB President Mario Draghi, speaking at his monthly news conference in Frankfurt, failed to deliver immediate measures aimed at tackling the region's debt crisis.
• Unemployment sky-high and rising in Spain
• Matthew Lynn: Global chaos, gold bullishness
• Lynn: How Thatcher would play the crisis
• Come on, ECB: Tell us what you really think
"The market reaction was immediately disappointment when he didn't offer any real plan of intervention, but appetite for intervention is still there and that has provided some support for risk assets," said Oliver Wallin, investment director at Octopus Investments.
"Now we're looking ahead [to] September and we'll see a lot of attention on data until then. The market reaction to good news will be tempered because it lowers the likelihood of central-bank intervention, whereas bad news will be greeted," he said.
Rally in Southern Europe
Spanish stocks rallied, reversing Thursday's rout, when the IBEX 35 index /quotes/zigman/2759620/realtime XX:IBEX -1.36% tumbled 5.2%.
Rumors emerged that Spain would soon make a formal request for aid, but Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said he has made no decision on whether to ask the euro zone's rescue funds for help in lowering borrowing costs. Spain's Rajoy: No decision on applying for aid
The IBEX surged 6% to 6,755.70, up 2.1% on the week, while yields on 10-year Spanish government bonds /quotes/zigman/4869131/delayed ES:ES10YT -0.03% fell 24 basis points to 6.84%, according to electronic trading platform Tradeweb. A basis point is 1/100 of a percentage point. Yields fall as bond prices rise.
CaixaBank SA /quotes/zigman/482755/realtime ES:CABK -3.09% jumped 5.1%, Banco de Sabadell SA /quotes/zigman/456075/realtime ES:SAB -2.07% gained 3.7% and heavyweight Banco Santander SA /quotes/zigman/205160/realtime ES:SAN -1.81% /quotes/zigman/188106/delayed/quotes/nls/san SAN -1.08% added 7.8%.
Pressure also eased on Italian bonds, with the yield on 10-year government paper /quotes/zigman/4869096/delayed IT:IT10YT -0.03% falling 17 basis points to 6.03%. Italy's FTSE MIB index /quotes/zigman/1482176/realtime XX:FTSEMIB -0.98% jumped 6.3% to 14.124.89 and closed out the week 3.9% higher. Intesa Sanpaolo SpA /quotes/zigman/172768/realtime IT:ISP -1.90% surged 13% and UniCredit SpA /quotes/zigman/7909864/realtime IT:UCG -1.26% added 8.4%.
U.S. jobs data in focus
For the broader European stock markets, investors kept close watch on the U.S., where fresh jobs data painted a mixed picture of the country's labor-market recovery.
Nonfarm payrolls rose by 163,000 in July, topping analysts' expectations of a 100,000 increase. The unemployment rate, however, ticked higher to 8.3% from 8.2% in June. Nonfarm payroll up 163,000 in July, rate at 8.3%
Wallin said positive news on the U.S. recovery wouldn't necessarily spur investor confidence, however.

The Canucks are a well-rounded team, without any glaring holes, but no single area is exactly tearing up the league, either. That's pretty impressive considering the injury issues Vancouver has had to deal with this season, and speaks to the potential that team has if they can get healthy or perhaps add a piece for a playoff run.
In their only previous meeting this season, the Canucks beat the Preds 1-0 in Nashville back on February 22nd.
After this road trip is over, the Preds play 12 of their final 18 games at home. Tickets at Bridgestone Arena are growing scarce, so make sure you take the OTF Discount!
Vancouver Canucks
The Canucks are used to running away with the Northwest Division each year, but this time they've had difficulty separating themselves from the pack. A decent part of that can be explained by the absence of Ryan Kesler, who has only played seven games this season. He missed the opening weeks while recovering from off-season hip surgery, but then broke his foot after returning to action.
The other big story in Vancouver, of course, is the goaltending drama, which currently shows Roberto Luongo as having reasserted his dominance in net, quieting the talk of trading him (and his hefty contract) so the Canucks can turn over the keys to young Corey Schneider.
You can tell how tense things are in B.C., given the reaction to a recent win over Columbus which ended a four-game losing streak:
All hail Roberto Luongo for "saving the season." Frustrations were boiling hotter than they had all season, and I'm sure both Luongo and Alain Vigneault are breathing a little easier tonight. After stopping Letestu's final shot, Luongo even had a sort of smile on his face that read, "Don't worry guys, I got this."
--- Nucks Misconduct
Make sure to head over to Nucks Misconduct to check out their preview for line combinations and more.
Nashville Predators
The Preds are going through a rough patch with injuries, having lost a regular forward in each of their last three games. The latest victim was Paul Gaustad, so Nashville has called up Chris Mueller from Milwaukee to fill the gap at center. Where he'll fit in the lineup is a bit of a guess, as Josh Cooper gives us at least a glimpse of what to expect tonight:
Looks like Spaling back to center the fourth line, and Boychuk will take his place on the wing with Smith and Halischuk
— JoshuaCooper (@JoshuaCooper) March 14, 2013
With Spaling and Smith both getting work at center, perhaps Mueller will watch from the press box tonight, but stand ready if needed for the rest of the current road trip.
It looks like Pekka Rinne will get the start, and in this interview with Ryan Porth at Smashville 24/7, he isn't worried about the extensive workload he's handling this season:
Do the fewer number of games make Rinne more capable to get through the season without being affected physically? Are the Predators forced to start him more than they'd like because of their place in the standings? Probably a combination of both.
"It is a different kind of year; you notice the schedule because there's not much time to practice. But I feel good physically," Rinne said. "You just try to save as much energy as you can and bring everything you've got to the game."
So plan for a late night of hockey watching, and stay tuned for a special guest star posting tonight's game recap...

In short: so cold!In full: turned up at this run fully expecting there to be a sign at the venue stating 'run cancelled due to adverse weather'. But it wasn't, and so glad - really well organised first-time event. 3 layers but -6 degrees meant i was still cold but lovely little local event and nicce course that seemed to be over really quickly. well done stampede sports Date of review: November 28, 2010
In short: great weekend In full: Went over to Jersey for the weekend. Had a great time. Everything thought of. Nice early start was good as route not traffic free. Really good atmospere with a lot of 'off-islanders' in attendance. Surprisingly fast course even though 1-3miles a bit of a grind. Thank you everyone who helped put on a great show (with special thanks to mary). Date of review: November 25, 2010
In full: Enjoyed this one as always. Well done AVR - especially with course change due at the last minute because of overnight rain. A big thanks too to all the marshalls and helpers (who needs hellrunner? haha)Date of review: November 8, 2010
In short: Great as alwaysIn full: Missed out on this one last year but glad to do it again. Great day out. Great course. Great Cakes! One for everyone's diaryDate of review: October 31, 2010
In short: Brill!!In full: Organisation/goody bag/marshalls/water stations/atmosphere/course - Sorry but I CANNOT FAULT THIS RUN!! ExcellentDate of review: October 24, 2010
In full: oh and the (100) goody bags were donated from the earlier Clarendon Marathon. Otherwise all we would of had was a mars bar and a medal. Date of review: October 18, 2010
In short: good run but......In full: Haven't done this race for a while and thought i'd enter rather than travel all the way to cardiff. Having read what others said a agree with some but could have easily solved with a little thought. 1. Why not tell the front runners that goody bags are limited so only take one if you want (i would have been happy not to get one if i'd realised they were in short supply) 2. director DID state that water stop at 5 miles might not be there in his defence - he should of had a mike BUT people should LISTEN to the pre race chat rather than talk among themselves ; then they would know. All in all i found the lack of marshall only in the last mile (back along in front of the station and around the fields - where the guy in front of me took a wrong turn and i had to shout to tell him!!)I was upset to that most of the faster runners could not find the time to cheer on the back markers - especially when they pass you with 1/2 a mile to go!! Lovely course and great run no matter whatDate of review: October 18, 2010
In short: bit shortIn full: well organised race for only the second time of the event. Chip timing a nice touch but a bit of a waste as I (and most of the others from my running club) found the course to be only just over 6 miles. Challenging course and the 'out and back' was a noveltyDate of review: October 11, 2010
In short: Muddy great!In full: Fantastic race that even the rain eased off for (not surprising after the amount we'd had overnight!). No bells and whistles but just a very well organised simple offroad run. Mud mud and more mud and a hill that makes you wonder what the heck you're doing there!. A real feel-good factor and a race I would recommend to anyone and everyone. A mudfest? Yes -GREAT!!Date of review: October 3, 2010
In short: PlayfulIn full: A slightly long course (that we were warned about) that the first half was quite a challenge. Would have been even more so in wet conditions but as we had a beautiful day the scenery was there to be enjoyed. First timer (so was the race organiser I later found out) who felt everything was organised very well. Glad I had this saturday off work as normally wouldn't of been to make this one. Congrats to allDate of review: September 18, 2010

No matter who you are, if you are clean and presentable, it always works for the ladies. Likewise a car does not always have to be a Porsche or a Ferrari to catch your attention but even an average car, if kept clean and tidy, will always get your admiration. When it comes to the front and rear view, if the mirrors are not clean than not only is it hazardous for the driver as it affects his view but it also reflects laziness and carelessness in a person's character. The easy way to get through is by pressing a button and the car does the job for you and that is with the help of wiper and washer parts which make the mirror as clean as new.
The wiper and washer parts come in different shapes and sizes depending on the size of the mirror and the position of the mirrors. The rear window has a circular shape hence the wiper and washer parts are accordingly circular in shape. Alongside that the wiper and washer parts consist of the water container, the connecting pipe which carries the water from the container to the nozzle and the sprinkler whose orientation can be set as per requirement allowing sprinkling of the water on the entire screen.
The wiper and washer parts' condition should always be good as in the case of heavy rainfall, their need greatly increases and their absence can result bad visibility leading to dire consequences. Wiper and washer parts should be handled very delicately until of robust quality, because a slight bend will ruin the whole thing. So incase out of shape wipers or non-functional washer parts, fell free to browse the website where the parts are available at reasonable prices and in large variety. A piece of advice would be to take caution and intelligently replace the faulty part before it's too late.

I am an "anti-pill" person, but after my mom died in 2002, my family doctor prescribed it. In about 2 weeks I felt like the fog had been lifted. I was on it for about 6 months in 2002-03 (quit cold turkey), and went on it again in November 2007 after a particularly rough few months. I am weaning off it now.

I originally started taking this for the anxiety part of my depression. Worked great, and greatly eased my symptoms. However, my sex drive went to a stand-still. That was the only side-effect that I got from the drug. I am no longer on it, and it was an easy drug to wean off of.

Obama Campaign Tries to Have It Both Ways in Death of Steelworker's Wife
The Obama campaign has been roundly criticized for an adproduced by the Super PAC Priorities USA Action that appears to link Mitt Romney's former firm, Bain Capital, with the cancer death of a steelworker's wife.
So at a news conference on Monday, the president sought to distance himself from the ad.
"I don't think Governor Romney is somehow responsible for the death of the woman portrayed in that ad," the president said. "But keep in mind, this is an ad that I didn't approve. I did not produce." (Related: Romney Hurt by Democratic Attacks: Poll.)
There is just one problem.
The ad — and the slideshow — discuss GST Steel, which was taken over in 1993 by a group led by Bain Capital, and went bankrupt in 2001 under a heavy load of debt.
Bain nonetheless profited handsomely from the deal, but 28-year employee Joe Soptic was among 750 employees who lost their jobs and their health insurance.
"A short time after that, my wife became ill," Soptic says in the Super PAC ad, but he says she did not seek medical attention initially because of the lack of health insurance. When she eventually did go to the hospital, she was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer.
"She passed away in 22 days," Soptic says. "I do not think Mitt Romney realizes what he's done to anyone."
But the ad fails to point out that Soptic's wife was diagnosed with cancer several years after he lost his job, and that she had health insurance under her own job. CNN first reported the additional details on August 7, citing a telephone interview with Soptic. (Related: Romney Claim on Obama Welfare Doesn't Hold Water.)
In his news conference, the president said that not only was he not responsible for the ad, but that it had only aired once. Priorities USA Action has defended the ad as factual and claims it does not directly link Romney to the woman's death.

Emergency response
Life can change for millions of families in an instant: natural disasters take loved ones and the outbreak of war drives families from their homes. When the unthinkable happens, Mercy Corps delivers rapid, lifesaving aid to hard-hit communities.
We have responded to almost every global disaster in the last 20 years, including the Japan tsunami, Haiti earthquake, hunger crisis in the Horn of Africa, Indian Ocean tsunami, and most recently, Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.
Right now, our seasoned emergency responders are on the ground in South Sudan and the Central African Republic working to distribute critical supplies and protect families uprooted by conflict.
We're also working to support nearly two million people affected by the crisis in Syria, a long-term humanitarian disaster with no end in site. Learn more about our ongoing response to the Syrian refugee crisis ▸
