The aorta is the largest artery in the body. The abdominal part of the aorta is located below the diaphragm. It carries blood to the abdomen, pelvis, and legs. Sometimes, the walls of the aorta weaken and bulge in one area. This is called an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). When the aneurysm reaches a certain size, it may need to be repaired. Endovascular repair of an AAA (EVAR) is done from the inside of the artery. The doctor inserts a stent graft into the area to strengthen it.
Reasons for Procedure
This procedure is often done to repair AAA when the aneurysm:
- Causes physical symptoms (eg, abdominal pain)
- Causes complications (eg, clots that travel into the legs)
- Reaches a certain size and position that meets criteria for EVAR
- Has burst—Surgery must be done right away.
EVAR is now the preferred method to treat AAA. EVAR can result in less pain, shorter hospital stay, fewer complications, and faster recovery time compared to open surgery. However, closer follow-up over many years is needed.
Possible Complications
Your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
- Adverse reaction to anesthesia
- Infection
- Bruising or bleeding
- Damage to blood vessels or organs (possibly requiring open surgery)
- Leaking of blood at the graft
- Heart attack
- Blood clots
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications such as:
- Smoking
- Drinking
- Chronic disease such as diabetes or obesity
Your risk of complications may also be increased if you have had:
- A recent or active infection
- Bleeding or clotting disorders
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Your doctor may:
- Do a physical exam, blood tests, and imaging tests (eg, CT scan )
- Ask about your medical history, including allergies, current medicines, bleeding disorders, and other concerns
- Have you meet with an anesthesiologist
Before the procedure:
- Do not eat or drink for eight hours prior to the procedure.
Talk to your doctor about your medicines. You may be asked to stop taking some medicines up to one week before the procedure, like:
- Anti-inflammatory drugs (eg, aspirin )
- Blood thinners, such as clopidogrel (Plavix) or warfarin (Coumadin)
Your doctor may use:
- General anesthesia —puts the entire body to sleep
- Regional anesthesia —blocks pain to a part of the body, may be used with a sedative
Description of the Procedure
You will lie on your back. You will receive medicine to ease pain and relax you. Once you are asleep and sedated, a breathing tube will be inserted into your throat and lungs. Sometimes, regional anesthesia will be used. A breathing tube will not be needed in this case.
The doctor will make small incisions in both sides of the groin. Catheters (thin tubes) will be inserted into the blood vessels and threaded up toward the aneurysm. Contrast dye will be injected through the catheters. The doctor will then guide a stent graft to the site. The graft will be placed into the weakened area and extended into both pelvic arteries. To guide each step, the doctor will use live x-ray images. Your vital signs will be monitored. Once the graft is in place, the doctor will remove the catheters. The incisions will be closed. Sterile bandages will be applied.
Immediately After Procedure
You will be taken to the intensive care unit (ICU). If you have a breathing tube, it will be removed. Your vital signs will be closely monitored.
How Long Will It Take?
About 2-3 hours
How Much Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia will prevent pain during the procedure. Your doctor will give you medicine to manage the pain during the recovery process. There is little discomfort from the groin incisions.
Average Hospital Stay
The usual length of stay is 1-2 days. Your doctor may choose to keep you longer if needed.
Post-procedure Care
At the hospital, you will:
- Gradually move around and increase your activity level
- Slowly return to eating solid foods, as tolerated
During your stay, the hospital staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection such as:
- Washing their hands
- Wearing gloves or masks
- Keeping your incisions covered
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chances of infection such as:
- Washing your hands often and reminding visitors and healthcare providers to do the same
- Reminding your healthcare providers to wear gloves or masks
- Not allowing others to touch your incisions
When you return home, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
- Keep the incision areas clean and dry. Follow your doctor's instructions for changing your bandages.
- Ask your doctor about when it is safe to shower, bathe, or soak in water.
- Take pain medicine as directed.
- Ask your doctor which activities are safe for you.
- Your condition needs to be carefully monitored. Be sure to go to all of your appointments.
Call Your Doctor
After you leave the hospital, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or discharge at the incision site
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- New abdominal pain
- Back pain
- Any change of color or sensation in your legs or feet
- Burning, pain, or problems when urinating
- Nausea or vomiting
- Abdominal cramps or diarrhea
- Unusual fatigue or depression
- Disorientation or confusion
- Numbness or tingling in the legs
- Cough
- New, unexplained symptoms
Call for medical help or go to the emergency room right away if you have:
- Shortness of breath
- Chest pain
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Great Product Quality
Good Value
After trying this Supercharged Spackle from a sample I received I rushed out and purchased the full size immediately! I have super sensitive combination skin and this just makes my makeup look flawless. It disguises fine lines and pores and I find I don't need to touch up at all when I apply this before my foundation. Prior to using Spackle, by mid-day my face would be oily and I just felt my makeup was 'melting'-not with this. Now my face looks as fresh at the end of the day as when I first applied my makeup in the morning. After applying my skin feels so soft and I love the way it makes my skin look! And most importantly...no irritation or breakouts!! A new staple in my makeup routine!!

New York driver's licenses will soon be printed in black and white now that a disputed deal has been approved by the state comptroller. YNN's Lori Chung sat down with DMV officials who say even though it will cost the state more, drivers are getting the best value for their buck.
NEW YORK STATE -- "Technology changes and we need to keep up with it," said DMV Investigation Director Owen McShane.
That's why DMV officials say they're moving to black and white licenses, a disputed deal with a Canadian company now approved by the state comptroller.
McShane said, "The features that we found in the proposal were the most difficult to counterfeit."
That proposal from CBN, though more expensive, beat out two other license makers. Both raised protests with the comptroller who ultimately sided with the DMV.
"An additional $38 million to the New York State residents," Rensselaer County Clerk Frank Merola said. "That's the sad part. We've had this one company here since 2005. We haven't seen any problems at all."
Criticism coming from some county clerks. But officials say they confiscated more than 1,400 high-quality phony ids last year alone and that the new polycarbonate cards offer more security.
"They actually use a laser to burn the information into the document," McShane said. "The traditional photo that you're used to with your driver's license, it's larger, it's real high visibility and then there's a second ghost image."
An easy to identify vertical format for drivers under 21. And apparently there's a reason for black and white. Officials say it'll make it harder to fool anyone inclined to check your id.
McShane said, "If you were trying to substitute someone with blond hair you will dye your hair blond and look a little like that. If you have a black and white photo, they're actually more focused on your physical features."
And if you're wondering how soon the look of your driver's license will change, officials say they don't have a production date just yet, but they hope to have it rolled out by the end of the year.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Much of Virginia is bracing for low temperatures and snowfall heading into the weekend.
The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for most of Virginia into Friday evening and early Saturday.
Virginia Department of Transportation says crews are working around the clock to treat and clear state-maintained roads.
Virginia State Police say troopers responded to nearly 250 traffic crashes and about 175 disabled vehicles through Friday evening.
Media outlets report that the forecast calls for 1 to 2 inches of snow in the Richmond metro area. Southside and southeastern Virginia could get 2 to 3 inches and snowfall totals are estimated in western and Southwest Virginia to be between 1 to 4 inches. The snow is expected to accumulate on all surfaces as temperatures remain below freezing.
Snow started falling just after 2 p.m. on Friday in the Washington, D.C. area, coating the city in a light dusting.
Even though no more snow is expected to fall, the temperatures will remain below freezing until Sunday, creating slippery and icy road conditions for local commuters.
ABC7 meteorologist Matt Alto reports that some areas surrounding the Beltway saw upwards of 2 inches in Friday's afternoon snow.

I bought the brown multi snakeskin. Love the colors & size of purse. Very disappointed in snakeskin & brown leather. After a few months snakeskin has rubbed off & the brown is dull. Looks like I have had used the purse for a few years.
Saturday March 29 2014
I have the Iris crossbody in metallic. I just love the style but the metallic has rubbed off the corners and changed colors. It doesn't appear to be good quality leather....like the Deena that I have which I love the feel of. I am disappointed with the Iris leather. I think the Seafoam looks like nicer leather.
Saturday January 25 2014
I love my bag, but as per the other comments the lining on both outside pockets ripped which is very frustrating. I am happy to say I called and they are exchaning my bag for free!!!! I will for sure continue to buy from this company.

Cut Europe's Land Footprint!
18 Mar 13
A coalition of groups (1), including Slow Food, Friends of the Earth, ActionAid, Birdlife, Biofuelwatch, Compassion in World Farming and European Environment Bureau have united to call for European governments, and the EU as a whole, to reduce Europe's land footprint – i.e. the amount of land it uses each year for food, textiles, wood, biofuels, etc. (2)
Research has shown that the EU is effectively 'importing' 1,212,050 square kilometres of agricultural land to meet its demand for food, textiles and biofuels (3). Even more land is used to produce forest products like paper and for mining minerals and fossil fuels.
This massive import of land is happening at the same time as land is under increasing pressure around the world, with the land grabbing phenomenon taking land away from local communities. In addition, the EU has made the problem worse by adopting ill-advised policies promoting biofuels and biomass burning.
The launch of this coalition comes as the EU is examining how to measure Europe's resource use. We are pushing for land footprint, along with carbon footprint, water footprint and material use, to be the basis for this measurement. By measuring and managing Europe's resource use we will be able to become more resource efficient; reducing waste, the cost of materials and creating jobs in resource efficient industries.
"The classic development model has produced dramatic consequences on the distribution of the planet's resources," said Piero Sardo, president of the Slow Food Foundation for Biodiversity. "A system based on constant consumption of animal protein and uncontrolled waste is aberrant and is putting unsustainable pressure on the world's water resources and fertile soils."
"Today enough food is produced in the world to feed 12 billion people, but 40% of it becomes waste before even coming close to a table," Sardo continued. "For years Slow Food has been committed to promoting a system of production, distribution and consumption that opposes waste and land grabbing (the acquisition of fertile lands at ridiculously low prices, mostly in the global south, that is threatening biodiversity, food sovereignty and the existence of local communities). We need rapid and incisive action at the community level and on the part of institutions, citizens and civil society."
Individuals and organizations can also do their bit to reduce our land footprint, for example, through:
- avoiding food waste and reducing consumption of animal products (meat and dairy)
- reducing paper use and making sure the paper used is recycled
- making sure clothes are re-used or recycled instead of thrown out, and buying second hand clothes.
[1] The following groups and individuals have signed up to the land footprint coalition:
Friends of the Earth Europe
BirdLife Europe
Compassion in World Farming
Fred Pearce (author)
Dr Ian Fitzpatrick (researcher)
Kenya Debt Relief Network (KENDREN)
Land Magazine
The Land is Ours
London Mining Network / Colombia Solidarity Campaign

Magyar Természetvédők Szövetsége (Friends of the Earth Hungary)
NOAH (Friends of the Earth Denmark)
Hnuti Doha (Friends of the Earth Czech Republic)
Friends of the Earth (England, Wales and Northern Ireland)
[2] The land footprint coalition statement is as follows:
We call on European countries, and the EU, to:
1) Measure and publicly report on their land footprint, along with their use of other key resources – water footprint, carbon footprint and overall material use.
2) Set targets to reduce their land footprint and other resource use towards sustainable and equitable levels.
3) Create policies to reduce their land footprint, whilst also reducing other resource use, for example through cutting food waste, and changing diets by reducing significantly the consumption of animal products in high consuming populations.
4) Require large companies registered in the EU to publicly report on their land footprint in the context of their overall resource efficiency reporting, and their strategies for reducing this footprint whilst also reducing other resource use.
5) Examine all relevant existing and new policies to identify how they can be modified in order to reduce Europe's land footprint and other resource use, for example policies on renewable energy, biofuels and agriculture.
6) Promote good stewardship of land and livestock, and sustainable farming to protect the planet and its resources.
7) Protect customary and traditional land rights, and promote fair and transparent land governance and genuine land reform around the world.
8) Put in place measures to curb the financing of land grabs through policies that apply to both large scale investments and financial speculation on land.

Hydronephrosis is when one or both kidneys swell with backed up urine. This swelling can lead to kidney infection or kidney damage.
Hydronephrosis is not a condition but a symptom of another condition.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Hydronephrosis is caused by urinary tract problems that makes it difficult for urine to leave the kidneys. Urine may be slowed or blocked by:
Other conditions that may cause problems with urine flow include:
Occasionally it is from an abnormal kidney
In most cases, the child is born with one of these conditions that affect the urinary tract. For some, the condition develops later on.
Sometimes the cause of hydronephrosis is not known.
Male babies are more likely to have this condition than females.
If severe, hydronephrosis may case excess amniotic fluid during pregnancy.
In mild cases, there may not be any symptoms. If the condition is more severe, symptoms may include:
Most often hydronephrosis is diagnosed during pregnancy during a maternal ultrasound.
After birth you will be asked about your child's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Your doctor may be able to feel the swollen kidney during the physical exam.
Your child's bodily fluids may be tested. This can be done with:
Your child's bodily structures may need to be viewed. This can be done with:
Hydronephrosis that develops before birth will often resolve on its own without kidney damage, either before or after birth. Your child's kidneys will be monitored until the swelling has gone away.
When necessary, the condition causing the back up of urine will be treated. Treatment options may include:
Medications may include:
If the hydronephrosis is causing painful symptoms, there are signs of kidney damage, and there is a correctable lesion that will not get better on its own surgery may need to be done to allow urine to flow properly. The type of surgery that is done depends on the cause of your child's hydronephrosis. In rare cases, surgery may need to be done before birth.
There is no known way to prevent hydronephrosis.

A hero's best friend
Darci Marchese, WTOP
WASHINGTON - Throughout centuries of war, dogs have been by service members' sides, whether they're helping save lives in the battlefield or helping them heal.
And helping to heal is exactly what man's best friend is doing in the D.C. area.
Since 1999, dogs at Walter Reed Army Medical Center -- and now at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Fort Belvoir and Fort Meade -- have helped hundreds of wounded warriors in countless ways, and they continue to do so.
The U.S. Army program is unique. Wounded warriors receive help while they work to train dogs who will one day be full-service mobility dogs for other wounded veterans.
The dogs in training learn over 60 tasks, and when they are 2 years old, they pair up with a wounded veteran to assist in daily life activities.
Wounded soldiers are selected to work in the U.S. Army's Warrior Transition Brigade (WTB) Service Dog Training Program under the Northern Regional Medical Command during their recovery from catastrophic injuries, such as the loss of a limb.
"The dogs do have a fantastic way of being able to be a physical and emotional support for the soldiers," says Maeve Carey, an occupational therapist and rehabilitation manager at the WTB at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md.
Carey says the program helps soldiers overcome certain anxieties. It also helps them integrate into the community again.
"There's a whole kind of array of benefits that come with the program," Carey says.
The Army says the program has reduced anxiety, frustration, stress and anger in the soldiers who take part in the program. It also helps to improve their communication skills and sleep patterns, and even reduces their use of medication.
Carey has seen shy and reclusive soldiers come out of their shells during the training with the dogs.
"Dogs do not let you get away with anything, so if you're on the periphery they're going to come engage with you and kind of force that interaction upon you. And seeing the transformation of a soldier remain on a periphery to leading the group is just is more than heart-warming -- it's really inspiring," she says.
The Soldiers
Sgt. Cory Doane, Sgt. Rex Tharp and Army Specialist Seth Pack, all with the 10th Mountain Division, out of Ft. Drum, N.Y., are in the WTB Service Dog Training Program.
Doane served in Afghanistan in 2011 when he was just 20 years old.
"In the Army, you're always told that you're invincible and when you find out you're not invincible, it kind of takes you back a bit," Doane says.
He quickly learned he is not invincible.
"I was walking along one day on a mission, and I saw it and turned around to tell my buddies to get back," Doane says.
But it was too late.
It was an improvised explosive device (IED), and Doane was thrust to the ground by the blast. As a result, he lost his leg below the knee.
Along with the loss of his leg, Doane's femur was fractured in six different places. He has 14 screws and a metal plate holding it all together. He says he couldn't walk for about five months until he received his prosthetic leg.
"Not long after I got injured, I was in recovery stage, not doing a whole lot, and they wanted me out of my room so they told me I needed to do something. I was told my options and the dog program kind of interested me," says Doane, explaining how he became involved in the WTB program.
Since the beginning of his involvement, there's been no looking back.
"It's helped me a lot because it got me out of my room and it got me to do something productive," he says, adding that the recovery process is incredibly complex and life-changing.
"After you're injured, it's more than losing a leg or getting shot. You kind of lose like your perspective on life and then you kind of have to rebuild that, and I think this program was definitely helping me to kind of get out there and kind of rebuild who I was again."
Sgt. Rex Tharp, 21, had a similar experience in Afghanistan.
"We were on a foot patrol and we had stopped. I actually took a knee on mine (IED) and once I got hit, it was several seconds later that my team leader actually stepped on another one coming to my aid," Tharp says.
In the blast, he lost his right leg above the knee and muscle tissue in his left leg. He's lost count, but says he's had at least 10 surgeries on both legs.
Tharp has been in the WTB Service Dog Training Program for about eight months. He says he's learned a lot about himself, and the dogs have helped him come out of his shell.
"They've taught me to be a lot more social, actually. You kind of get out of that hiding from people, you know, not wanting to talk to people and stuff like that, but they (dogs) kind of force you into it," he explains.
Army Specialist Seth Pack joined the program after his injury that occurred in Afghanistan in the summer of 2011. He stepped on an IED pressure plate and lost his left leg below the knee, resulting in multiple fractures in his right leg and a pelvic fracture.
He says the program has helped him both physically and mentally.
"Just like these other guys will tell you, you're secluded in your room a lot (after an injury)," says Pack, who adds that the program has made him a lot more social and that he's made good friends with the other soldiers in the group.
"When I started, I was really unsure about it, I was really nervous about doing anything," Pack says.
However, a few months after he began the program, he grew into it. Pack says it's also rewarding knowing that the dogs he's working with each day will one day help another wounded veteran, like him.
"That's definitely something I think about all the time, is it's actually something productive and helpful that I'm doing: helping these dogs who, in turn, will help somebody else down the line," Pack says.
The Dogs
There are currently five dogs in the WTB Service Dog Training Program, including two lead service dogs -- Justin, 7 years old, and Irvine, 8. Three other dogs who are also part of the group are training to become full-service mobility dogs, including Penny, Indy and Sam.
Penny is an exuberant 10-month-old golden retriever. She's the "baby" of the group and has a lot of spunk, energy and likeability. She's training with a pair of very smart black Labrador brothers, Indy and Sam, who are about 16 months old. The trainers joke that they are constantly competing against one another to succeed in the program.
All the dogs who enter the program are bred by a single owner. Since the standard is very high, some dogs may not make it through the 18-month program. The dogs must lack any anxiety-type issues, be non-aggressive and fight the urge to bark.
"The level of demand on these dogs is high, and the level of demand on the soldiers that train is very high, and I think that kind of breeds and cycles a level of responsibility and accountability in this program," says Carey, the program's rehabilitation manager.
That doesn't mean there is no room for mistakes along the way.
"The dogs are still young and definitely hitting that point in their maturity where they test limits, get excited and have a mind of their own sometimes, but they're definitely steady trainers and on the path of success," Carey says.
Irvine and Justin are calm and obdedient golden retrievers. They teach the younger dogs the ropes.
"The lead trainers and the lead service dogs will go first, demonstrating new commands, new routines and new tasks so the other dogs who are learning get to learn observationally and see the dogs being successful," Carey says.
The Training
There are three main service dog training instructors in the program: Carolyn Ford, Ann Spader and Heidi Bonorato, the lead trainer. These instructors work with the dogs each day on a variety of skills, mainly out of Walter Reed and Fort Belvoir.
Ford, Spader and Bonorato practice with the dogs using toys to simulate tasks, such as pulling open the refrigerator, pushing elevator buttons, bracing a soldier up and down the stairs, retrieving dropped items, opening up cabinets and pulling wheelchairs.
The lead service dog and trainer usually go first to demonstrate a skill to the younger dogs.
"The other dogs are actually watching very intently, watching what the lead trainers will do ... and get excited ... and when it comes their turn, they're almost bubbling over in excitement to be able to try something that the other dogs were successful in doing," Carey says.
The lead trainer also engages the soldiers training with the dogs on a regular basis. A key part of the training is allowing the soldiers to make decisions on which dog should go next strategically. This forces the soldiers to engage in the training and helps improve their social skills.
Commands to the dogs are kept short.
"Look, get it, bring it here, give," is one of the series of commands taught at a lesson. It teaches the dogs to get and retrieve an item.
The dogs don't always want to give up the toy, but it's imperative they bring the item directly to the trainer since in the real world, the wounded veteran may not have the ability to reach for an item.
The dogs get and retrieve an item from on top of a table, then do the same underneath the table. They are then commanded to pull a dog toy that one of the trainers is holding. This simulates the motion of pulling open a fridge or a cabinet.
Then the dogs approach a trainer holding what looks like a big, round button, and are told to "touch" it with their noses. This simulates touching an elevator button. At the same time, they are tempted by the trainer holding the tug toy in their other hand. They must have the discipline to leave the dangling toy alone.
The trainers don't give up easily. They work with each dog until every task is achieved. There is no shortage of patience and in the end, praise.
At the end of the training, the dogs are commanded to a "down" position. Trainers then tempt them with squeak toys and treats, and the dogs must remain in the down position.
Even though Penny's ears are on full alert and some of the dogs look interested and tempted, the dogs remain in the down position.
The End Result
The dogs are in this rigorous training program until they are 2 years old. If they succeed, they will be paired with a wounded veteran somewhere in the U.S.
Dogs that don't quite meet all of the requirements to become a full-service mobility dog may become therapy dogs. It will be their job to cheer up wounded warriors inside the local hospitals.
Since 1999, more than 500 wounded, ill and injured service members have participated and contributed to training the dogs.
"Emotionally, it's just something to do that makes you feel good," says Pack. "It's always great to be around the dogs, it brings a certain joy to you every day."

The Abraham Lincoln is closely related to the angry pirate. When your getting head that is not satisfactory, you nut on the hoes mouth. Then you backhand her. If it knocks her out, you trim some hair off yourself and stick it on the splooge around her face where a beard and mustache would be. Then she wakes up and you have given her The Abraham Lincoln.
That slut Patty was licking my dick bad so I cold cocked her and gave her The Abraham Lincoln.

My 5 year old boy wants to be Toad from the Mario games (No not Mario, that would be WAY too easy) My 3 year old wants to be a monster princess. This is going to be interesting. Looking for ideas for the new baby girl she'll be 1 month old.
Last year my boy was an awesome dinosaur. My mom made the costume for my brother when I was little. She was way more amazing than I'll ever be!
My girl was in a black cat costume my mom also made and I wore when I was her age. Too bad she had an ear infection for Halloween. She was a sad girl
I couldn't resist doing this one for fun. I SO love halloween!
harmony, that dinosaur costume is cute! I wish my mom would make my girls costumes. I have a sewing machine and guess what I dont know how to use? LOL Maybe one of these days....
When my kids were little, I made their costumes. I saw this idea on Pinterest last night and thought it was creative and cute:
But this year we might dress up the furry-babies for photos for their grandparents. My mom's been pinning stuff on pinterest, hinting to me LOL I almost bought our dog a uniform that matches my husband's... but I think we'll do some kind of theme with her and the guinea pigs.
Meg, you should have your fur baby be the character from Wonder pets! Hehe
Sign up for the GingerScraps Newsletter!!
My kids were super cute as Batman and Batgirl last year. This year we will have Spiderman and Spidergirl.
Seeing this photo makes me realize how much my kiddos have grown this year. Cindy has long hair now and is losing her pudgy cheeks/chin. Kaden has gotten taller and lost 2 teeth!

Nah01315368300 | 09/06/2013 | See all 01315368300's reviews (314)This Documentary must have truly taken a loyal following Years! to produce.It goes into every hidden message and subliminal meaning scattered throughout the film.Some.like the references to American Indians in various scenes,are clever and have a logic to them,but others like The Erection scene(you'll understand what im talking about when you see it)and the Doc Directors insistance that the Face of Kubrick is blended into a group of clouds in the opening scene,are just ridiculous.Then when the movie starts to go into the possibility that Kubrick helped fake the Apollo Moon landing,you really do start to lose your trial of thought.It boils down to that old situation where if you stare at the corner of a dark room for long enough,you'll scare yourself silly by seeing a face.You could analize any film to Death and make of it exactly what you want.Is convincing others thats the hard part.

Mark Webber says he will walk away from Formula One without any regrets after signing a deal to join Porsche in Le Mans.
Webber announced on Thursday that he would be leaving Red Bull Racing and F1 at the end of this season. However, instead of the news being broken by Red Bull, it came from Porsche.
The Aussie, though, denied that it was a snub at Red Bull, insisting that while those back at the factory were not aware of his decision, team boss Christian Horner was.
"It was a Porsche announcement," he said. "I informed Christian before the announcement which contractually I should do, and that is what we did.
"It was about Porsche and Mark Webber today.
"I think I helped the team today; they have to make some decisions for the future."
He added that Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz has always been in the know about his future.
"Dietrich has been completely up to speed with my thinking in the last few months, he has been on board, and encouraged me not to rush my decision when I approached him earlier this season," the Australian said.
"I think basically we went through all the right channels and avenues to get the message across and it was done in the right way."
The talks with Porsche had been going on for a while despite the announcement only coming on Thursday.
"The decision has been there for quite some time," he said.
"There's lot of reasons that come into the pot when any sportsman or woman comes to that time in their career when they want to call it a day. That's another small ingredient.
"There's going to be big, big changes in the sport next year so I may as well going to do those big, big changes where my future's going to be.
"So let's see how the category is next year in Formula 1. I'll be interested to watch every now and then and watch these guys do their stuff."
And the 36-year-old, who has vowed to "push until Brazil", is confident he will walk away from Formula One at the end of this season without any regrets even though he was "leading the Championship at the wrong race."
As for who he reckons should replace him as Sebastian Vettel's 2014 team-mate, Webber would not weigh in other than to say that he will "watch with interest."

One man was killed and five others were injured in overnight gun violence that marked the second time in roughly one week that a person was shot to death near the Chicago home of President Barack Obama.
Henry Atkins, 39, died early Tuesday after he was shot in the chest in the hallway of a Hyde Park apartment building about 12:15 a.m., authorities said.
Atkins and a 22-year-old man were hanging out in a hallway of the building, in the 5200 block of South Harper Avenue, when a gunman approached an opened fire, authorities said.
Police have yet to determine a motive for the shooting, which was under investigation.
Atkins, who lived nearby in the 1400 block of East 52nd Street, was later taken to the Cook County Medical Examiner's office, where he was officially pronounced dead at 4: 40 a.m.
The 22-year-old man was taken to an area hospital with a gunshot wound to the hand, police said.
The early morning shooting was the second murder to rock the area in recent days. Roughly one week before and less than a mile away, 15-year-old Cornelius "Cornbread" German was shot to death in the 5000 block of South Evans Avenue after a dice game, family and authorities have said.
The Chicago home of President Barack Obama, in the 5000 block of South Greenwood Avenue, stands about a half-mile from both murder scenes.
Gunfire rang out in a different South Side neighborhood minutes after Atkins was shot, during a drive-by shooting that wounded a man in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood, police said.
Police said the 28-year-old man was standing on a sidewalk in the 700 block of West 81st Street about 12:35 a.m. when a dark-colored SUV drove by and opened fire.
The man was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn in "stable" condition with a gunshot wound to the shoulder, police said.
Earlier in the night a man was shot in the Back of the Yards neighborhood, in a shooting police believe was gang-related.
Police said the 28-year-old man was standing on a sidewalk in the 5200 block of South Hermitage Avenue when he was shot in the back about 9:30 p.m., police said. He was listed in good condition.
On the North Side, a bullet struck a male in the foot during a shooting that police also believe to be gang-related.
The male, of an unknown age, was shot in the foot about 10:10 p.m. in the 1600 block of West Jonquil Terrace, police said. He was treated at Saint Francis Hospital in Evanston and released, police said.
About 8:09 p.m. a man was shot in the South Side Roseland neighborhood during an armed robbery, police said.
The man, 44, was near 106th Street and Normal Avenue when he was shot, police said. The man was taken in "stable" condition to Roseland Community Hospital in "stable" condition, police said. Further details were not available Tuesday morning.
No one was in custody for any of the shootings as of 6 a.m. Tuesday. The incidents are under investigation.

Hartge goes off-roading with the X3 "Hunter"
by Drew Phillips (RSS feed) on Dec 23rd, 2007 at 3:02PM
Click above for a full resolution image The closest BMW has ever come to having an off-road vehicle was sticking its V8 engines into Range Rovers. Even it's "Sport Activity Vehicle", the X5, rarely sees time off the pavement and sticks to hauling kids to school and soccer practice. Hartge has set out to change that with an off-road program for Bimmer SUVs, the latest of which is an X3 dubbed the "Hunter". The Bavarian tuner gives the mini-ute increased ground clearance with longer springs and shocks as well as spacers up front. An underbody stainless steel skid plate, shortened axle ratio,...

When a person uses an insulin pump to control his diabetes, one of the decisions he has to make is what model of infusion set to use. Pumps are often an excellent choice for people who use insulin and seek tight control of their diabetes but need some flexibility in their diabetes regimen.
Most insulin pumps require the use of an infusion set to deliver insulin from the pump to the user. An infusion set consists of a length of thin plastic tubing, a very thin stainless steel or Teflon cannula that is inserted just under the skin, and a plastic connector that joins tubing and cannula together. The connector is generally mounted on an adhesive patch that is stuck to the skin at the insertion site to help keep the cannula in place. The connector allows a person to disconnect from his pump temporarily (for swimming, intimate situations, etc.) without removing the infusion set.
Insulin infusion sets come in a variety of styles to suit individuals' unique needs and preferences. In addition to having either a Teflon or steel cannula, infusion sets may be designed to have the cannula inserted straight into the subcutaneous tissue or at an angle. Some cannulas can only be inserted manually, while others can be inserted either manually or with an insertion device. All infusion sets offer a variety of tubing lengths.
Teflon versus steel cannula
A "soft" cannula is a thin, flexible needle made of the synthetic substance Teflon that is inserted into the subcutaneous tissue via a steel introducer needle. The introducer needle is then removed and only the soft cannula is left in place. Soft cannula sets are popular because they are comfortable to wear and they can remain inserted for up to 72 hours. One disadvantage of the soft cannula, however, is that its flexibility can potentially lead to kinking, which disrupts the flow of insulin into the body. If a disruption is not detected, it can lead to dangerously high blood glucose levels. Users of soft cannulas, therefore, need to know how to troubleshoot and immediately change their infusion sets if kinking occurs.
A steel cannula is a thin metal needle that is inserted into the subcutaneous tissue; steel cannulas should stay in place for no longer than 48 hours. One advantage of using a metal cannula is that it is durable and will not kink, assuring a continuous flow of insulin into the body. Metal cannulas are also very useful for people who are allergic to Teflon. The disadvantages of using a metal cannula are that it can cause discomfort during movement or physical activity and that it requires more frequent site changes.
Method of insertion
There are two options for inserting a cannula. A person can choose manual insertion, which means that he simply pushes the needle into his subcutaneous tissue as if giving himself an injection, or he can use a spring-loaded insertion device that automatically inserts the needle into the tissue. The manual method is useful for people who like to control the speed of the insertion; it allows them to prepare themselves psychologically for the task and to achieve a gradual and less forceful insertion. People who are lean often prefer manual insertion.
Many people, however, prefer using an insertion device. These devices are definitely helpful for people who have arthritis, Parkinson disease, or any other condition that affects fine motor skills, as well as for people who have a needle phobia. Insertion devices also allow the pump user to insert a cannula more easily into harder-to-reach infusion sites, such as the buttocks or the back of the arm. The disadvantages of using an insertion device include the added expense (though it is usually covered by insurance, and some devices are reusable) and the additional education needed to learn to use it correctly. Another disadvantage is that the user cannot control the depth or the exact angle of insertion.
