"To be a good lifeguard, it's important to be a people person, because the people are who you're there for. You're there for their safety above and beyond everything else, but you're also there to make sure everyone is happy, that's my feeling. I look at the pool as if it were my own house, and everyone here are my house guests, so when you come in, I make sure anything you might want here I'll have.
It makes me feel like I'm wanted—and when the people come in and say, 'Hey Dorsey, how are you?' or when they come at the beginning of the season and ask how my winter was, to me it shows me they care a little bit about me. And the reason they care about me is because they know I care about them too.
I'd encourage other lifeguards to go the extra mile. When I substitute at other pools I'll read the logs and see how bored these people are and I'm thinking to myself, 'You're getting paid to do almost nothing, it's a great job.' All you have to do is get up out of the chair once in a while and introduce yourself to people and say, 'Hey how are you doing?'
Yeah, I sit here, but I'm not sitting here doing absolutely nothing, I'm sitting here thinking, 'Is that little boy over there okay?' I'm looking to see where the parents are. I know who my people are and I have a knack about knowing certain things about them. So if I see someone who looks like he's dying I'll walk over and say, 'Would you like a glass of water?' And I'll go in the back and get him a glass of water.
I bring suntan lotion, rafts, inner tubes, goggles, bathing suits, books, even life jackets for people. I probably have more rafts at this pool than most pools will see in a lifetime. There's not much more you'd want here.
I've got over 60 towels made especially for the lounge chairs, many left in the lost and found that I've taken home and washed. I always notice towels falling off chairs when people sit on them, so I took the towels home and sewed them on both sides, maybe about seven inches each corner folded over. And I came back and put the towels back on the chairs and they don't fall anymore, and at the same time it's helping me out too because my loungers are staying cleaner.
I do find it's catching up to me though—I started doing this when I was 50, about ten years ago. I was working for the state of Maryland and retired after 30 years and decided I wanted to try something I'd always wanted to, and that's being a lifeguard. So I went and took my lifeguard test. Of course I wouldn't recommend it to everybody who's 50 years old—it's a lot of swimming that you have to do for the test.
I started wearing hearing aids about five or six years ago because I can hardly hear in my right ear. But my manner of being a lifeguard makes up 100 percent for my handicap, and I really don't even consider it to be a handicap. If I didn't have good eyesight then I think it would make a difference. I don't care who you are and I don't care what your handicap is, if you really want to do something, go out and try it!
And I do have scary moments here, usually about one per year. I've got a good knack for knowing when something is going to happen. Some grandparents came in here once with two little kids and the grandfather went to use the restroom. So he goes one way and then his wife leaves the kids right by the pool steps and says, 'You guys stay here, I'm going to put my suit on.' And, sure enough, as soon as she turned her back they went down the steps. They were only a couple feet tall and it's three-feet deep at the bottom of the steps and the minute they went down the steps I had both of them in my arms bringing them back out. Everybody was saying, 'Wow, I can't believe how fast you moved!' And I joked, 'Why, because I'm so old?'
I'd like to see more retired people and senior citizens be lifeguards though because I think they'd have a knack for it too. I listened to an interview with Jimmy Buffett, and they asked him how long he was going to keep performing and he said, 'Well, right now I'm having fun. When it's not fun anymore, I won't do it.' So I imagine when it's not fun anymore, then I think I'll hang my towels and bathing suit up and call it a life."

Shelby Knox in Tampa - Part II listen
02/13/09 Mitch E. PerryWMNF Drive-Time News Friday | Listen to this entire show:
After declining for the last 15 years, the national teen birth rate is now on the increase.
The arguments over how to reduce such births have raged for decades.
Back in 2001, in Lubbock Texas, 15-year-old Shelby Knox attempted to change that community's sex education policy. She became a member of a teen commission examining the issue and her fight against abstinence only education became the focus of a 2005 documentary called, The Education of Shelby Knox.
Now 22, Knox was in Tampa on Tuesday; she spoke at Maestro's and at the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center, for a benefit for Planned Parenthood of Southwest and Central Florida. Here's the second part of an excerpt from that speech, where she spoke about a bill in the Florida Legislature, sponsored by Tampa area Republican Sen. Victor Crist.

Any Japanese film concerning WWII is going to be closely scrutinized by Japanese and international audiences alike. Most Japanese films produced in the first few decades following the war focus on human tragedy while keeping away from anything that could be construed as glorifying combat or defending Japan's military adventurism. To avoid possible offense, American and Allied Forces in Japanese productions have usually been faceless, instead being represented by their machines of war (as opposed to contemporary Hollywood productions that often include rather negative stereotypes of Japanese soldiers). Americans and the Allied Forces are also rarely even named, usually referred to simply as the "enemy".
However, Japanese films generally fail to explain the cause of the war, which has led to a spate of recent movies that cast Japan in a more sympathetic light. With bigger budgets and slicker production values than the stark and repenting post-war movies, these films portray a more romantic view of the fight against the West where Japan is a victim, not the aggressor. As Japanese films become more revisionist, great concern has already be expressed about the next generation of movies such as the forthcoming The Truth about Nanjing which will boldy dismiss war atrocities as Chinese propaganda. The film's director has stated that the Japanese leaders executed for war crimes are martyrs like Jesus Christ.
These are a several notable films about World War II produced in Japan:
The Men of the Yamato (Otoko tachi no Yamato) 2005 – The Men of the Yamato is a big budget production with a story structure and visuals clearly modeled after Hollywood blockbusters. The film depicts the fate of the world's largest battleship and members of the crew as they are sent on a desperate mission to Okinawa where — spoiler alert — the pride of the Japanese Imperial Navy is destroyed by U.S. Navy pilots.
Sea Without Exit (Deguchi no nai umi) 2007 – Kaiten pilots operated one-man submarines that served as human-guided torpedoes, making them the underwater counterparts to the better known kamikaze who attacked from the air. Sea Without Exit chronicles a star baseball player and his three fellow kaiten pilots as the struggle between a sense of patriotic duty and the fear that their lives will be wasted in a war that is already lost.
Fires on the Plain(Nobi) 1959 – After receiving an Academy Award nomination for his 1956 anti-war film The Burmese Harp, director Kon Ichikawa explored even darker themes in Fires on the Plain. The plot concerns a group of Japanese soldiers trapped in the Philippines with little food or supplies because of the tightening noose of the Allied Forces. A brutal film, the graphic depiction of the soldier's efforts to survive through murder and cannibalism was met with critical disdain upon its release.
Zero Fighter(Zerosen moyu) 1984 – Zero Fighter covers the history for the famed plane from its design and early dominance in the air until the end of the war when it is eventually outclassed by advanced enemy aircraft attacking in superior numbers. If the special effects seem strangely reminiscent of Japan's popular superhero and monster movies, Zero Fighter was produced by the same studio and special effects team responsible for several Godzilla films.
For Those We Love (Ore-kimi) 2007 – Written by Governor of Tokyo Shintaro Ishihara, For Those We Love tells the tale of several young kamikaze pilots as remembered by the matron of the local restaurant they frequented while waiting for the final mission. Considering Ishihara's right wing political views, it probably should come as no surprise that the kamikaze pilots are glorified as heroes who died protecting their homeland rather than tragic causalities of Japan's imperialistic ambitions.
Grave of the Fireflies (Hotaru no haka) 1988 - Grave of the Fireflies is a widely acclaimed animated film that follows an orphaned brother and sister as they struggle to survive in a Japan devastated by war. Film critic Roger Ebert ranked it as one of the best war films ever made, stating that its emotional breadth almost moved him to tears. The popularity of the movie in Japan has spawned two live action versions.
Merdeka 17805 2001 - The producers of Merdeka 17805 claim the film commemorates Japan's role in bringing independence to Indonesia by ending Dutch colonial rule, but the release was met with criticism for offering a revisionist view that presents Japanese military aggression as being merely a desire to protect Asia from the West. Scenes depicting Indonesians kissing the feet of their Japanese liberators as well as soldiers slapping the faces of Indonesian recruits were deemed highly offensive to the nation's Muslim population.
Battle of Okinawa (Gekido no showashi:Okinawa kessen) 1971 - As the title states, Battle of Okinawa is a drama about the last major confrontation between Allied and Japanese Imperial forces. While the film faults Japanese leaders for failing to provide their soldiers with sufficient resources to defend the island from the Allied onslaught, the Okinawans caught in the middle of the fighting are portrayed as the true victims.
Japan's Longest Day (Nihon no ichiban nagai hi) 1967 – Even after two of their cities had been devastated by atomic bombs, hardliners within the Imperial Japanese military were still prepared to fight to the death. Japan's Longest Day recounts the true events of August 14-15 when a group of fanatical soldiers attempted a coup to prevent the broadcast of Emperor Hirohito's message of surrender.
Better Wishes for Tomorrow (Ashita e no yuigon) 2007 – Like the 1998 film Pride: A Fateful Moment about Prime Minister Hideki Tojo, Better Wishes for Tomorrow attempts to humanize a Japanese leader on trial for war crimes . Responsible for the execution of American airmen, Tasuka Okada is portrayed as a dedicated family man who acted out of love for country. Both films seem to imply that any atrocities committed by the Japanese during the war were negated by Allied bombing of civilians.

Share as we celebrate life with three kids, disability and our love of travel and adventure.
Wednesday, January 11, 2012
These are the beautiful eyes I get to stare into so many times a day.
Often I will be talking to the other kids and I take a peek down and someone is looking up at me smiling and giggling while he still continues to feed.
I honestly think he thinks they are an extension of himself as he kneads, squeezes and prods often digging his little nails in as if to ask the milk to come more quickly.
I feel so lucky to be able to feed Woody so easily and really enjoy it. I guess it comes from the fact that I was unable to breast-feed Cooper and that Pepper was the one who taught be how so this time it seems more natural and like jumping back on a bike.
I really hope our breastfeeding relationship continues for a long while yet xx Heres to 3.5 months Woody.

rwh63 | i recommend a 2004-06 unlimited. fuel economy between 16-21 mpg. lots of interior room, esp. with the seat out or tumbled. | |
geiman | I drive 55 miles one way to work which is bad enough. If you're worried about gas mileage I don't know that Jeep is the right thing to get. That said, everything else is all personal preference, it will be totally what you prefer. I'd go test drive every possible combination you could want and go from there. | |
Brf | I have to agree. I bought my 1999 Wrangler brand new. I only have 80,000 miles on it. I have driven it on a few long trips over the highway, and it can get expensive. | |
Sherpa |
- it has more space inside - it has better ergonomics than the TJ - it is more fuel efficient than a TJ (13/17 for the 6-spd TJ, 15/18 for the 6-spd JK, both by the new EPA math) - the JK's longer wheelbase and wider track promote better stability Overall, I expect you'll be much happier commuting in a JK than you would in a TJ. I love soft tops, but I only have a 4-mile drive to work. For your extended driving, I would recommend the hardtop. The reduced noise will be worth it. Also, if you live in a snowy climate, it will be nice to scrape the snow/ice off the glass windows. |
InfernoGirl | Being as tall as you are, I'm gonna think you'll like the JK better. TJ's have less leg room. Soft tops are easier now. MPG's will kill you tho' with your commute. You won't get close to 23mpg's I don't think. More likely 18 if you're lucky, but Idk, cause ours have bigger tires/wheels and are autos. | |

Wrangler Advice please.... Hello all. This is my first post, but I've been reading through the threads. I'd like some advice on buying a Wrangler. Here's the story: I have an 80 mile round trip commute to work each day, all highway, 60 MPH. I'm currently driving a wore out Chevrolet Malibu. This is the only car I've ever owned, and will probably be the last. I've had the car for about 6 years and put about 200K miles on it. It's been a great car, never had to make any repairs. But, I'm not a car person. That being said, I'm looking to purchase a "new to me" Wrangler for commuting. I am looking for a 2005 or newer, less than 50K miles, manual transmission, 2 doors, and A/C. Other than that, I'm not picky. I don't want large mud tires, I would stick with a 31" or so smaller A/T. I definately don't want an Unlimited, or any of the fancy GPS/DVD options. I really don't like the BIG wheels on the 2011 Wrangler I looked at, either. I've found several used Wranglers locally that I like, but I can't decide what I want. Should I get an 06' with the 4.0 (it has 21K miles) or should I go for a newer one with the 3.8 V6? I know the 4.0 is a reliable engine, and from what I've read on here, the 3.8 is reliable also. I'd like some opinions from you guys about commuting in a Wrangler. What kind of fuel mileage can I really expect? My car is getting about 23 MPG now... Does the V6 give better fuel economy than the 4.0 liter? Hardtop or softtop? The softtop on my CJ sucks, are the new ones better? Do all Wranglers have lock-in/lock-out hubs? It really doesn't matter, I'd just like to know. This won't be my 1st 4WD. I have a 2000 Chevy 4WD (15 MPG), an 84 Dodge 4WD (terrible MPG), and a 78 CJ-5(8-12 MPG, it has a 304 and 33"s). I'm saying this to say that I know a Wrangler won't be ideal for commuting, but I want to try it for a while. BTW, I'm 6'5" tall, so leg room is a concern. The 2011 Wranglers I drove had enough room. Will all the models have about the same interior room? Any opinions from you guys would be welcome. |

User Review for Melissa & Doug Deluxe Magic Set
This set is beautifully made...so much better than the plastic sets I remember as a kid. All the props are made of wood and fabric and are imaginatively decorated. The magician's change bag and nest of boxes is of professional quality. It has small parts so of course it's not for very young children. Kids old enough to appreciate this should love it. Even adult magicians may find one or two items in here they can use.

Pretend Play
We have a various number of pretend play toys to really get your child involved by using their imagination.
Some of our Favorite Imaginative Toys include:
- Action Figures
- Holiday and Religious Toys
- Play Kitchens
- Play Sets
- Puppets and Puppet Theaters
Action Figures
Action figures are great toys to help children develop their creative abilities and learn the art of pretending. We have a wonderful selection of action figures that include everything from prehistoric animals and Noah's ark and bugs in a box to Cinderella and from pasture pals to pirates. Our Cowboys and Indians or Medieval Times sets will even give children some insight into specific historical time periods. Each action figure is safe with no harmful parts.
Holiday and Religious Toys
Religious toys and holiday toys are very similar because religion is such a large part of many holidays. Children like to emulate adults and religious toys provide the child with a chance for emulation. Imaginative toys are fun because they allow the child to use the imagination in a realistic setting with family and friends.
Play Kitchens
Play kitchens are a fantastic way to allow your child to use their imagination. Play kitchens can run the gamut from basic to fully loaded. Some of the different models of child play kitchens include toy microwaves, refrigerators, dishwasher and ovens. These single unit models of play kitchens are sturdy and very ergonomic.
Play kitchens are a great way for your child to use their imagination and act like a grown-up. With play kitchens, however, your child may need some extra accessories to help them use their imagination to the fullest. We offer a nice selection of play food to help the child use their imagination. Assortments of play food feature everything from canned foods to meats to different desserts. Play food is essential when it comes to using play kitchens, but you may need some other accessories as well. Some kitchen accessories include pots and pans, a play cutting board and knife. Your child can prepare all kinds of play food the right way and learn about using a knife the safe and proper way before they take it to the real kitchen. Play kitchens make great gifts, but having the perfect accessories is just as important!

Play Sets
Play sets are a great way for the child to use his imagination. Play sets can let children imitate the careers and everyday activities of a grown-up. Play sets can enhance the imagination of your child, making their understanding of the "real world" a little more real to them.
One of our more popular play sets are the magic sets. Your budding Houdini will love learning magic tricks with the Melissa & Doug Discovery Magic Set. This high quality set will provide your little magician with all the basics to perform amazing illusions and crafty slight-of-hand tricks.
And, for the child who loves farms and animals, we offer the Melissa & Doug Fold & Go Barn. This top quality barn features large sliding front doors, large stalls, stable doors, hayloft and a convenient carry handle for playtime on the go. Also included are seven detailed farm animals, including a pig and horse, for an endless barnyard adventure.
Puppets and Puppet Theaters
Everyone loves getting invited to a puppet show! There is lots of fun to be had with puppets and puppet theaters for both children and parents. Puppets provide the child with a chance to get involved with imaginative play and really let their imagination run completely wild. Not only are puppets great for your child's imagination, they are a great means of artistic expression and communication. Most children will have an easy time relating to puppets from a very early age since they often use their imagination to make inanimate objects and characters come to life.

It's fairly flat land, other than the crater right there," said Doug Green with NWS. "It's exposed and it is subject to pretty strong southwesterly winds."

'60 Minutes' examines the business of e-waste recycling
In Sunday's 60 Minutes, CBS TV news magazine examines the lucrative but shadowy business of mining the e-waste for valuable components, including gold.
In Sunday's 60 Minutes, the CBS TV news magazine examines the lucrative but shadowy business of mining e-waste--junked computers, televisions, and other old electronic products--for valuable components, including gold. However, often illegal and hazardous activity creates toxic pollution, which in turn leads to brain damage, kidney disease, cancers, and mutations. In the segment, correspondent Scott Pelley examines the ethics of the recycling industry. (For the full 60 Minutes segment, see "The Electronic Wasteland.")

We were a bit worried about the reviews that talked about lengthy delays crossing the border back into the USA but we had no problems. Took us less than 10 minutes. The border crossing is not an issue associated only with this tour - it is the same as anywhere where you cross a border from one country into another. Fantastic tour guide.

Tour guide was Mike and he was excellent throughout the day, keeping all participants engaged with his lively banter. Our first tour of this kind and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We were given ample time at each stopping location to walk around and take pictures. Certainly worth it and would highly recommend. We plan to try the aquatic one next that also goes into the water.

It was my wife's 70th birthday and I wanted to have a surprise party by taking her on a harbor cruise. I talked 2 other couples to join us celebrate this special occasion.
As we arrived we were greeted by the staff at the door and welcomed by offering us champagne. That was all great, unfortunaly we were the only onces In the Dinning room wich of course Ambiance none existence.. We were all looking at each other and wondered where the rest of the people are!!
Within 45mn bread got served and it was hard as a rock and complete dry. Our server was appolejetic and came back with another batch, unfortunately only to be a little better. I started thinking oh my God is this how it is going to end!! Here we go dinner was seved shrimp,rice,and vegetable. First bite everyone went wow this is cold..... Sure enough mine was not even room temperature.. Called the server and he took back all 6 plates ... Now one would assume this is going to be fixed,,guess what!! only 2 were hot

This tour is a MUST DO!!!! We went on the Seal Tour during my birthday trip to San Diego. It was so fun! We learned so much about the harbour and the surrounding areas. Not only was the tour informative but it was fun!!! We had an excellent captain and a very funny tour guide. We were laughing several times during the tour. We were able to plan other things for our trip just by learning about them on this tour! We went to the USS Midway the next day because we were told about it on our seal tour. If you are trying to decide whether or not you should do this tour take my advice and DO IT!!! We loved it and our 5 year old did too!!!!!

Prosciutto Breadsticks Recipe
I think these make a great duet with eggs, and they're a nice substitution for bacon and toast. —Maria Regakis, Somerville, Massachusetts
- 6 thin slices prosciutto or deli ham
- 1 tube (11 ounces) refrigerated breadsticks
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1/4 teaspoon fennel seed, crushed
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- Cut each slice of prosciutto into four thin strips. Unroll dough; separate into breadsticks. Top each with two strips prosciutto, pressing gently to adhere. Twist each breadstick; place on ungreased baking sheet, pressing ends down firmly. Brush with beaten egg.
- Combine fennel and pepper; sprinkle over breadsticks. Bake at 375° for 10-13 minutes or until golden brown. Yield: 1 dozen.

I am on a low carb diet so I don't eat a lot of bread but saw these and had to try them since they are low carb. They are soo easy to make and have great flavor! The fennel really brings out the flavor of the prosciutto and the bread. I brought them to work withat Zucchini fritatta and everyone loved them.I will definitely be making again probably in the very near future.

Here is a picture from my venue. We proudly use Seismic Audio subs, mains, monitors and all the cables in between. Check out our website: www.vagabondsound.com- Dan Windisch, Vagabond Sound
Me DJ'ing an event At Cumberland Mall in Atlanta, GA for screening of the Movie "Just Right", using two SA-15s. Didn't even need my Enforcer Subs. These things ROCK!!- Norman Thompson
As promised, here is a pic of my 2 SA 4x8 bass cabs running with my 1000 watt Carvin head at an outdoor gig last weekend. They really boom. The 8's are stretching a bit with the low B on my 5-string, but on my Fender Jaguar they were great. My guitarist could not believe how "big" they sounded. You guys should bring them back. I was even thinking of running 16 8's on outdoor gigs if you started selling them again. Thanks.- Mark T Davis
I've been an amateur bass player for over 20 years. I bi-amp my rig. On the low end I was using a Carvin 18" full range and a Stillwater Designs 18" subwoofer. I replaced both of these with a Seismic SA-215 and THIS THING ROCKS! The SA-215 not ported so I was a little worried about getting the volume I need. I hooked it up to one side of my Crown 602 and as hard as I tried I couldn't get this cabinet to redline my amp! Hats off to your design team. I had to readjust my crossover from around 200 Hz up to around 700 Hz to get the tones I was looking for. I received my order in 2 days. As soon as I sell my old cabinets I'm going to buy another one of these. I am 100% satisfied. Thanks Seismic!- Jim Heggen, Bass Player for High Speed Boom
Can't beat the features. Period.Great finish and great sound. The speaker is perfect. Running 1400 Mackie watts to 4 of these in our church. The 15 is a great speaker and the compression horns sound nice and equalize easily. My pastor, worship leader... loved them. Everyone is very happy!
Perfect for Long high power runs...Using a pair of these for our house subwoofers. Rubber and flexible coating has a great feel and durability. 1/4 inch ends are gold plated tips and have a heavy soldered connection. NICE!
Excellent and portable!I found this cabinet as an excellent option for playing live or p ractice, because his weight is very easy to transport to other locations, so i recommend this cab for all who need a small cabinet with great punch and volume.
Great 4 x 10 cab.I use this cabinet with a Behringer bass amp.I got it to use in conjunction with my Behringer amp with a 15 in. speaker. However when I hooked the 4 x 10 up I didn't need the 15. It does way more than I expected. Used in church 600 seat auditorium. Better than any of the Fender or Peavey cabs. I have used...
Great speaker, I build a 7.7 cubic ft enclosure for this speaker and left it sealed to see how it did, the kick drum and bass sound amazing live and when I want to play tunes on it I found that it was awesome for low bass with any music.Built a second one and added ports to the first one. Now both are ported at 7.7 cubic ft and dual 4x4" ports per enclosure. This tuned them to 35 hz and made them boom in the 50-60hz range. They sound great with a bass guitar live. AWESOME!
Awesome Speaker !Great Big Heavy Magnet and full Rich Tone. Lots of Power. Can't go wrong.Thanks SA
Size doesn't matter!Don't let the size of these fool you, they are loud and sound great. Who'd of thought you could put so many watts and a big sound into a small speaker. Keep up the great work guys.
Dual 12" Pro Audio Speaker MainsJust finished setting-up and testing these speakers in my studio, WOW..... Awesome. Vocals and instruments Sound Super through these speakers. Here,s the best part... the price, quality & nice appearance.Seismic Audio, You have my attention. I'll be back. Thanks!
Seismic Audio kicks ass!I love these speakers sa-155t,i just bought the sa-122t,and i love your products.fast shipping too.i got them in 4 days..you got a customer for life..my neighbors may not care too much for them,but oh well..ROCK ON LOUD!
WOW!!!!!!I just got back from the club that I work in doing the sound and lighting where I plugged in my new monitors (SA-15MX) for the first time. OMG!!!!!!!! These sound unbelievable!!!! Clear and can handle the power I need to run. These sound better than most of the monitors I have owned for 2 to 3 times the price. And for the price I was so happy I got 2 pair. Thank you so much for carrying such a great product and I will place another order soon.Rick
WORKHORSESHad these puppies since Late '05/06 and They have been awesome. I still use these at every DJing gig, and every Live music gig I have. They got me hooked on Seismic.
Awesome! It Pounds!I ordered this sub off of Seismic's ebay auction. It was shipped the next day and arrived the day after that, VERY fast shipping. Came out of the box easy, packed well. Noticed that although it was heavy, as all subs should be, it wasnt too heavy to be carried by one person. It is very solid, no wobbles or rattles, and the input plate is solid with no loose screws or nuts. No loose carpet. It has 1/4 and Speakon inputs, and I would recommend speakon inputs for almost any speaker application, so use them if you can. I put about 600 watts into this speaker, crossing it at ~250 hertz. This sub responded very well to the music i played through it, and i also plugged a bass straight into the system and it rocked. The only thing that is sub-par with this sub is that during music heavy with bass the sub seems to get bogged down a little and response gets a little sluggish...other than that, this is an excellent sub for live music and a good sub for dj work.
Not Bad At All!I was skeptical to say the least, but I was in a pinch. I've never played through high-end cabinets before, but I've played Peavey, Hartke, and Carvin. This far surpasses the 3 and I'm using a 1980 Carvin head and crappy bass. I'm buying the 115 VERY soon.
Fantastic ProductI bought this cab new on Ebay. I have a line6 spider II HD and when I connected the two all I got was pure power. I got great highs and lows. I could not believe the quality for the price. When I am able to, I am going to buy another one for the other side of my amp.I recommend this to anyone. You won't be disappointed with it. Seismic Audio has provided a great looking. great sound, and economical sound product. I love it.i played through it, and i also plugged a bass straight into the system and it rocked. The only thing that is sub-par with this sub is that during music heavy with bass the sub seems to get bogged down a little and response gets a little sluggish...other than that, this is an excellent sub for live music and a good sub for dj work.
Great 410I purchased this cabinet in March 2008. When it came I was excited to say the least as it was my first 410 as I am a lover of Ampeg 810s. This puppy rocks! I play mostly in church and with a group Shades Of Blue we play everything. I have gigged with this cabinet many times and it never let me down. It is light but strudy and I would encourage any Bass Player to get one of these. It can be used as your main rig or as a secondary depending on your preference. I just recently paired it with a SA115 and the two together sing. I get the mix of high's and low's with few adjustments on the amp and I am ready!
SA-412What a deal! Great sounding cabinet. As good as cabs at twice the price. I like the metal grill. I'll probably get another. Can't go wrong.Great CabinetI own 2 412 cabinets and they sound amazing! The beat the hell out of my buddies Marshall cabinet. I'd take Seismic Audio products over anything else out there!
Love this SnakeI actually got this used after getting several of SA's XLR splitters about a year ago. When I got my snake, it was probably about a year old. Channel 2 was not working and all of the inputs on the stage box were loose. Not a manufacturing issue. I opened up and went through it with a fine tooth comb. Tightened every screw and bolt as well as checked all solder joints. Everything was solid, including my bad channel. I came to the conclusion that there was a break in the wire somewhere in the snake. Luckily, SA had included a backup cord in the snake. A few solders later, back to new. When I picked it up for cheap used, it looked like it had been through hell. A little cleanup and it has been working beautifully for months now. Build quality is solid and rivals anything of the same specs for twice the price. If mine breaks down, I would gladly pay full price for a new one. Thanks SA. I am a live sound engineer in the Dallas, TX area and have ordered other products from SA.
Excellent ProductI have been a live sound tech for 30 years and have seen many, many different snakes. This is a high quality piece of equipment at a price that no other manufacturer can touch.The guys at Seismic Audio are super helpful anytime I call for help. I tell all my friends to check out Seismic Audio first.
You get what you DON'T pay for!I needed something to house my DigiTech GNX2 and Jekyll & Hyde Pedal, but I didn't want to spend $200+ on a brand-name case. I came across this and it seemed like a good deal. I expected some shoddy case with sub-par craftsmanship...wow was I wrong. This case is JUST as nice as any brand-name case that you'd likely spend hundreds buying. Sturdy, well-built, and surprisingly durable. The interior dimensions are not quite what it says here, but pretty close. It is more like 24 3/4"x14 7/8"x6". The carpet inside I wouldn't consider using for velcro (I'd probably get scrap and carpet it) but I bult myself a small angled platform with pegboard (zip-tie your pedals on!) instead so it wasn'ta concern for me. The inside is not padded, but with $10 you can accomplish that. The 1 7/8" lip makes getting to the pedals a bit challenging, but nothing that can't be easily remedied. If you want to save yourself a TON of money and leave your bandmates jealous, this is your best bet.
UnbeatableThis is my 13th item bought from seismic and i have to say that i am amazed at the amount of stuff you get for the price. These cables locally were 8 bucks each, I got a set of six from seismic for the price of 3 locally. Just hooked them up and they are noise free!!!
Great Quality half the price.I bought 8 cables just like these locally and it cost me 80 bucks! The next time we needed patches I came straight here! You get 6 of them for 30ish bucks. 5 bucks each, awesome! No noise in the system and love the individual colors for finding what cordless mic is on what channel. LOVE SA! This is like the 14th thing I have bought from them and loved all my stuff so far.

Offseason Workouts - Corey Brewer
September 13, 2007
Mike Trudell
Wolves Reporter
Minnesota's No. 7 overall pick, Corey Brewer, has been working out with Wolves coaches and teammates at Target Center of late, showing flashes of why he's expected to be such a terrific NBA player. We caught up with him this week after a particularly intense workout.
MT: Hey Corey, I know you love to get up and down the floor like we all saw in the NCAA Tourney last March, or in Vegas this summer, but be careful on that rim man. You were bringing the hammer dunk around a little bit hard today, weren't you?
Corey Brewer: No man, it's cool. That's how we have to play this year. We've got to get up and down the floor, because we're going to be young and athletic. If we're going to beat teams, we've got to get up and down the court.
MT: Fair enough. You came from a school featuring quite a bit of talent at Florida, but here in the NBA everybody is that talented...
CB: It's a high level of play, and it's going to be a lot of fun with the guys we have on this team -- we have a lot of young, athletic guys, and guys that like to pass the ball and find each other. We're going to make some things happen.
MT: Only the coaches know how the playing time will be assigned once the season tips off, but something I thought about while checking out today's scrimmage was the balance of strengths you and Ryan Gomes have, since your games are quite different but yet complementary.
CB: Right. He goes inside and I go outside, but we're both long and tall, so we can mix it up on teams.
MT: How's your boy Chris Richard looking to you?
CB: He's been developing really well since we got here and is learning the NBA game. In the NBA, you have more space, and he's learning to pass the ball, find cutters and his post moves are getting so much better. I think it's from working with Mr. Al Jefferson, because Al's been in the league for four years now. He's young, but he can really help a guy like Chris get better.
MT: Speaking of Big Al, you guys used to play against each other in AAU games down south, and even on some All-Star teams together. What can you say about his development since you first mixed it up?
CB: Oh man, he has gotten so much better. You can tell. He's always had a nice touch, but now he's unstoppable when he catches it in the paint with that turnaround jumper ... He's so strong, and he has so many moves in the post, I feel like his game has really developed.
MT: How do you feel about the expectations game in the media and in the public? At Florida, you were on both ends, with people expecting you to be bad early on, and to win it all coming off the first National Title.
CB: Going into my sophomore year at Florida, the expectations were that we weren't even going to make the tournament. I've dealt with that, but it doesn't affect me. I feel like we have a chance to win it all this year just like any team, and we just have to play as hard as we can play every game. We're a bunch of young guys, but as long as we play together, we can win. We're going to do whatever it takes.
MT: In other news, did I hear you whining about the weather already? I know it's not Florida, but come on man.
CB: It's just that winter is about to come. Minnesota's nice though, I like it a lot. Me and Chris both like it a lot. The perception is that it's always cold, but not yet, so it's all good.
MT: So what are you up to when you're not here working out?
CB: Nothing. Me and Chris are just playing PlayStation 3 and relaxing. We're into NCAA Football 2008 right now.
MT: Yeah, with Boise State on the cover? Looks like the jinx worked, they already lost.
CB: I'm on a five-game winning streak over Chris though.
MT: Who gets to play with the Gators?
CB: We don't play with Florida. I play with West Virginia, he plays with Florida State. It's not about the teams, it's about the player.
MT: OK then. Any other games?
CB: Oh yeah, we play Nintendo Wii too. It's legit.
MT: It is pretty solid, my roommate just bought it. The tennis is cool.
CB: We play the baseball. Chris thinks he's the best.
MT: He couldn't hit my splitter.
CB: Nobody can hit the splitter. It hits the ground.
MT: It's all timing, Corey.
CB: (Shrugs) Whatever.

Brewer is going to be awesome. I can't wait for this season to start. He said that he feels like we can win it all this year. That is an awesome attitude to have.

text: More Beef Production than Predicted As a result, producers will see lower than expected steer prices in 2008. Published on: Apr 18, 2008 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print U.S beef production was expected this year to be about even with 2007, but it seems it may be slightly higher than previously thought. Agriculture Department World Outlook Board Chairman Gerry Bange has increased his forecast for beef production by about 1.5 million pounds. "Primarily because we've seen some increased cow slaughter in the Southeast and that really reflects drought conditions and tight supplies of hay, and pasture and so forth," Bange says. "Also we've seen some increase in dairy cow slaughter, which we think really relates to the freshening of the herd as opposed to any liquidation effort." The high price of feed may be sending more cattle to slaughter sooner than expected, which will result in lower price expectations. Estimates are that it will be 73 cents a hundredweight lower than before, at $90.15 on average, about a 2% drop from last year.

Function of Regulatory T Cells Improved by Dexamethasone in Graves' Patients
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
Antithyroid drugs is the first choice treatment of Graves' disease in China and Europe. However,the relapse rate is very high (40-60%) after therapy withdrawal, and many patients need further treatment. In our previous study, a new treatment strategy for GD has been introduced. After methimazole (18 months) combined with intrathyroid injection of dexamethasone (DEX) (3 months) treatment, the relapse rate of hyperthyroidism was markedly reduced compared with methimazole treatment alone (7.4% versus 51%) during the 2-year follow-up period. The results have been published in the 'J Clin Endocrinol Metab, 2009,94:4984-4991'. However, the mechanism by which the DEX reduces the relapse rate of GD is not fully understood. In vitro study, we have proven that DEX could effectively improve the function of regulatory T (Treg) cells and set up a new balance of T helper 1(Th1)/Th2 in GD patients(this results have been in press in the Eur J Endocrinol). In order to elucidate mechanism of this treatment strategy in vivo, we plan to recruit 20-30 patients with GD and treat those patients by intrathyroid injection of DEX combined with methimazole, and the function of Treg cells and balance of Th1/Th2 will be evaluated.

Official Title: | Function of Regulatory T Cells Improved by Treatment With an Intrathyroid Injection of Dexamethasone in Graves' Patients |
- Function of Regulatory T Cells [ Time Frame: From baseline to 90 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Function of Treg cells will be analyzed by the proliferation rate of CD4+CD25- T cells, according to the following formula: cell proliferation rate (%) = proliferation rate of CD4+CD25- T cells co-cultured with CD4+CD25+T cells/proliferation rate of CD4+CD25- T cells alone×100%.
- The proportion of Th1 and Th2 cells [ Time Frame: From baseline to 90 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Th1 and Th2 cells will be identified by flow cytometry analysis.
Enrollment: | 50 |

Primary Completion Date: | March 2012 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Arms | Assigned Interventions |
Experimental: Isotonic Na chloride
The treatment strategy is the same with intervention, only the drug (dexamethasone) will be changed to isotonic Na chloride.
Drug: Dexamethasone
The course of treatment will be last for 3 months. The intrathyroid injection of dexamethasone will be performed using a 25-gauge (0.25-mm) needle under ultrasound guidance. The injection will be performed in both lobes of the thyroid. The dosage of dexamethasone is 5mg (1.0 ml) in each lobe, twice a week during the first month of the treatment. The treatment strategy will be changed to once a week in the second month and twice a month in the third month; the dosage of dexamethasone is the same as in the first month.
