A high-quality sports muffler developed by TRD in partnership with standard muffler manufacturers.
An all stainless steel exhaust system focused on performance and cost. Even more reliable than genuine Toyota parts.
A sports air filter born from racing engine development technology. An air filter that delivers the most basic, critical functions of ingesting air, removing dust, and supplying fresh air to the engine. By modifying the technology used in racing engines, running under the harshest conditions and putting the results to work in a commercial product, the TRD Sports Air Filter has achieved the smooth air intake and cleaning effects demanded by high-rev engines.
Casually dresses up the engine compartment. And, since it's made by Juracon, you can be sure it's a top performer as well. This aluminum-cut TRD oil filler cap with its beautiful metallic shine and centered TRD logo elegantly cuts a dashing figure in any engine compartmentJuracon not only dresses up the engine compartment, but provides the best in functionality as well. Not only does this Juracon-manufactured product not become too hot even immediately after driving, but the cap is diamond-shaped for easy turning. Because it does not easily get hot while being easy to remove, this cap works great for rapid pit work on long endurance races that require engine oil refills during the race. In consideration of its use in motor sports, Juracon has placed spring-lock holes at four corners, making it possible to add spring locks.
Upping the valve opening pressure of the pressure regulator on the radiator cap to allow higher radiator pressure increases the boiling point of the coolant, reduces bubbles, improves cooling, and generally maximizes the cooling performance of the radiator. We increased the valve opening pressure of the TRD radiator caps to 127 kpa (1.3 kg/cm2) and 147 kpa (1.5 kg/cm2). Thus, another full-fledged design that arose from racing car development makes its appearance.
This oil filter achieves high filtration efficiency, reducing compression loss, and it exhibits high engine protection characteristics by helping to smooth engine oil circulation and providing excellent impurity filtering characteristics. The race-car type backup net prevents deformation and damage of the filter layer, while achieving high durability under the harshest of conditions. It is also used in the Altezza engine, which competes in Super-Endurance N Plus Class races.
Reduces torsion forces on chassis and body to improve steering response.
Strengthens under-floor rigidity to achieve a safer feel while driving.
This suspension set reduces the height of the car by roughly 15 to 40 mm, which lowers its center of gravity for improved drivability while achieving sportier styling
Sportivo's comfort zone has not been about endowing your drive with a cushiony, airy feel. Rather, it is about excellent convergence, and that it is best to reduce vehicle motion a little to provide a comfortable, non-fatiguing ride, even for those long drives.
Reflecting this thinking, this suspension system is designed to reduce bouncing and pitching along with larger vehicle movements, to minimize driver jiggling and produce the sensation of an even, smooth ride.
While quieting motion at high speeds, it compels your vehicle to respond obediently to your every whim with no sense of incongruity, even during corrections. This makes possible high-speed cruising with a sense of stability, through moderate reduction in vehicle motion, without uneven road surface disturbance.
A suspension kit with perfect balance
-Matching of the springs and shocks to the car extends to including all required parts in kit form, and the ability to easily fine-tune your adjustments.
-Car height and damper force can be adjusted freely
By enabling the car height and damper force to be varied to match driving conditions and driver preferences, the vehicle's steering characteristics, center of gravity, cornering weight, and more can be adjusted easily, drawing out the maximum potential of a sports vehicle, especially for the circuit.
* To adjust vehicle height, adjust the position of the screw-type lower spring seat.
Although you can vary the preload through car height adjustment, you cannot adjust the preload alone.
-The spring rate can be adjusted.
You can change the rate of optional springs
(Please see the following table for information on optional springs.)
TRD has elegantly hurdled the twin peaks of maintaining a comfortable ride while reducing roll.
This high-performance brake is second to none when it comes to providing reliable stopping power, making your pursuit of an agreeable speed even safer.
With their sharp initial performance surge, these brakes provide extraordinary braking force with just a tap of the brake pedal.
You can really feel the difference in stop and go traffic.
The Red series brake pads provide a linear braking performance whose development has been honed on the circuit. Its potential has already been demonstrated numerous times in the field. These brake pads respond to pedal pressure in a linear fashion.
The professionally-acclaimed control pad allows you to achieve pin-point braking control simply by adjusting the pressure you apply to the foot pedal. Developed with the circuit racing and other competitive racing in mind, the Red series brake pads provide the superior performance demanded by competitive areas such as braking performance, anti-fade characteristics, controllability, and durability.
Unlike other brake pads designed for circuit racing, this brake pad exhibits ample braking force throughout the temperature range from low to high, meaning it can be used normally on the street as well.
With a basic design derived from racing cars, these brakes provide a direct braking feeling

text: Lake Record Largemouth Bass Caught from Smith Lake Contact: Damon Abernethy, 334-353-0270 At approximately 6:30 on the evening of April 16, 2007, Gary Guthrie of Jasper, Ala. caught a 10-pound, 4-ounce largemouth bass from the Sipsey Creek arm of Smith Lake. The fish was weighed on certified scales at the Alabama Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Division District 1 office in Tanner, Ala., and was verified by fisheries biologist Keith Floyd. The bass measured 26.1 inches in length with a girth of 19 inches. This was the first bass accepted by the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Division for lake record consideration as part of the Alabama Angler Recognition Program. The first goal of the new program is to help promote fishing by recognizing anglers who catch large or trophy-sized sportfish from Alabama waters. Secondly, it will provide Fisheries Section biologists with valuable catch information for following fishery trends in the reservoirs they manage. The third objective is to establish a system for maintaining lake records for many of Alabama's sportfish species including species of black bass. Finally, it will allow anglers an opportunity to have their catch information compiled, analyzed, and reported to them. At the present time, only eight of the 64 public lakes or reservoirs in Alabama have established lake records to help them discover when, where, and on what types of lures big fish are caught. To learn more about the Alabama Angler Recognition Program and to view current lake records, visit www.outdooralabama.com/fishing/freshwater/record/. The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources promotes wise stewardship, management and enjoyment of Alabama's natural resources through five divisions: Marine Police, Marine Resources, State Parks, State Lands, and Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries.

TCU Fun At Crowne Plaza Invitational Pro-Am
May 18, 2011
FORT WORTH, Texas -- TCU football coach Gary Patterson was paired Wednesday with former Horned Frog standout J.J. Henry at the Crowne Plaza Invitational Pro-Am at Colonial.
Henry and fellow PGA Tour player Jerry Kelly, a native of Madison, Wis., made a friendly wager prior to the 2011 Rose Bowl Game. The individual whose team lost would have to wear the winning team's mascot uniform at the Crowne Plaza Invitational Pro-Am.
With TCU's 21-19 victory over Wisconsin, Kelly donned the SuperFrog attire in front of a partisan TCU crowd at Colonial.

It's around 4 months when babies start waking up again during the night. One theory I've heard it that it might be because they are so interested and distracted during the day while they're eating that they are still hungry at night.
I think DD's going through this now. Or his sleep could still be messed up from the time change, I'm not sure!

Car Commuters Spend Up To £1,000 A Year Fuelling Their Trip To Work
Alan Mathewson, CEO Santander Cards, said: "Nearly two thirds of workers travel to and from their place of work in a car, but they often don't realise how many miles they clock up doing so and how much money they spend on fuel alone. Over the course of a year, car commuters could save a significant amount of money by making small changes to their routine. For example, they could consider car-pooling with colleagues or looking at products such as our 123 cashback credit card, which provides 3% cashback on money spent in petrol stations."
Santander's 123 World
The Santander 123 Cashback Credit Card and 123 Current Account are designed to reward customers and help them save money. The card pays up to 3% cashback on household spend and has paid over £19 million in cashback to customers since its launch in September 2011. In addition Santander's unique '123 Current Account' pays cashback on all utilities, council tax, Santander mortgage payments and communications direct debits set up on a customer's account, as well as paying in-credit interest on balances up to £20,000.

Effective this Friday, SpokeFest Association is accepting applications for its Bicycle Education and Safety Grant Fund, a very successful and inspiring program. Grants will be awarded to schools and 501(c)3 non-profit organizations that have a project which the organization can complete in a defined period of time. All projects must promote bicycle safety and education.
SR photo by Dan Pelle. That's Micah Reed, 10, and other Broadway Elementary School students testing out their bikes during the Central Valley School District's Elementary Bicycle Safety Program at Broadway, Aug. 30 2012. The school's PE teacher, Katie Ferris, secured a grant for $6,100 from SpokeFest to purchase the bikes.
The've supported some great programs with their grant funds since 2010. A few examples:
2010 – SpokeFest purchased 30 bikes and provided teacher training for the 4th through 6th grade physical education program for the East Valley School District.
2011-SpokeFest provided a grant to the East Kiwanis bicycle helmet giveaway (free) to all children in the area.
2012 –SpokeFest purchased 30 bikes and helmets for the Central Valley School District's 4th and 5th grade bicycle education program to benefit 13 elementary schools.
Here's a snapshot of the grant criteria:
-A project that helps people become familiar with bicycling and enables them to feel more comfortable participating in the activity.
-Projects that educate motorists about rules of the road in regard to bicyclists.
-Educational programs that promote bicycle commuting.
-Putting together bike routes for different fitness levels and providing necessary information about access and support facilities along the way.
Funds could be used for buying necessary equipment, publications and promotion of an educational event. The application is available at www.spokefest.org. Submit the completed electronic application to firstname.lastname@example.com. The grant committee will review the application and make recommendations to the Board of Directors. All applications are due by April 1st, 2013. Applicants will be notified by mail of the status of their request. All grantees will be required to submit a "Grant Completion Report" summarizing the accomplishments of the project and the total cost including receipts for expenses.
The 2012 SpokeFest event nearly doubled the 1,200 participants that rallied in 2008, the event's first year. Starting in downtown Spokane, riders set off on one of four bike routes, each one geared towards a slightly different level of ability but all offering some of the most Spokane's best views.
Save the date: SpokFest 2013 is September 8th.

Great Saw
By Dave
from Atascadero, CA
The blade jammed in the wood when I started my first cut. I then stopped pushing the blade into the wood and let the blade do the cutting. My first use of the saw was to cut off the tops of 5 newly installed 6 inch diameter fence posts. The blade is incredibly sharp and went through the post tops like a knife through butter. This saw is a great tool, . . . at any price!

Great saw
By Paul the blind guy
from Michigan
I do a lot of AMERICAN hand made crafts. One of my projects is walking staffs. I read all the comments on this saw and many were negative. I buy most of my tools from harbor freight I knew that if I was not satisfied that I could return it. Well as usual I was satisfied. I got a good toll at a good price. I use it for cutting tree branches up to 5 inches thick cuts through them like they were butter.a short testimony about HF: I am legally blind and the staff in all their have always been very helpful. They are the best sales associates I have ever dealt with. I have been in 5 different stores and got treated like a king in everyone.

Fair saw

A bit more tension on the blade would be nice... but for the price, I can certainly make it work.

Okay For the Price
By JNieporte
from Ohio, United States
About Me Professional
It's an okay saw. 8" SK-5 carbon steel blade, with 7 teeth per inch. The teeth are double-ground and point straight down, but this saw is made to cut on the pull stroke only. Trying to cut with a pushing motion will bend the blade. The blade is wobbly when locked open, both up and down and side-to-side. The plastic screw ring is easily stripped, but the actual screw and bolt inside are steel. This saw is easy to disassemble, and I did so to make the locking groove deeper. I also added another notch for half-way use. The blade will last for a while as long as you use it for pull-cutting only. This is a good, foldable saw for household use. It's not rugged enough for campsite use though.
The Bow part is worth the price
By RedpentacleB
from Arizona
The bow saw part seems well made and that alone was worth the price of the saw. It comes with two blades and both the blades I received are pointy but are not sharpened. The tips of the teeth come to a nice point, but the edges of the teeth are either completely flat or only partially ground, so they have no sharp edge to them. I had to purchase another blade from a local hardware store to use the saw.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This will be just a meet & greet, grab a beer, burger and chat with the local community. I will contact a couple of pubs and pick a mid-week day where there is no major sporting event being televised as most likely these are slower nights for these establishments. I'm thinking in Central Surrey as then some Fraser Valley cachers could easily attend also, but I'm not committed to that location, BUT I'd like to keep the valley cachers in mind. Feedback in this forum would be greatly appreciated so I can judge the response. I recently had lunch at Baselines Pub in Surrey, one of the best burgers I've had in a while, so I'll throw that on the suggestion list. _________________~~~~ _CanadianBacon_~~~~ Back to top scruffsterJoined: Sep 29, 2004Posts: 1207Location: Burnaby Posted: Mon Nov 19, 2007 10:40 am Post subject: Re: Cachers Pre-Christmas Gathering Yippeee!

Photodynamic Therapy (PDT)
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
In order to better understand a procedure that you have been scheduled for, please follow the links below. These links will also include instructions on preparing for the procedure.
24-hour pH Monitoring
24-hour pH monitoring is a test to measure the acid that comes up into your esophagus during a 24-hour period. The test will also measure any movement in your esophagus, including non-acid reflux.
The test involves a GI nurse inserting a small tube into your esophagus that will stay there for 24 hours. Placement of the tube takes ½ to 1 hour. After placement, you will be able to leave the hospital. While you go about normal activities, the device measures acid and movement in your esophagus.
If the physician recommends 24-hour pH impedance monitoring, you will keep a diary to record meal times, symptoms, and time spent lying down during the 24 hours. This diary helps your physician see correlations between symptoms and reflux episodes. You will return to the hospital the following day to have the tube removed.
Upper Endoscopy
An upper endoscopy, also called esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), is a procedure that enables the physician to look inside your esophagus, stomach, and duodenum (first part of the small intestine).
During the procedure, the nurse will give you throat numbing medication and sedation to help you relax, then the physician will have you swallow a flexible tube with a light on the end (called an endoscope). The endoscope is connected to a computer and will transmit an image of the inside of your esophagus, stomach, and duodenum for the physician to view. The physician can view abnormalities, such as bleeding and erosions, that cannot be examined with other tests. The physician may insert other instruments into the scope to treat abnormalities or to obtain samples of tissue for testing. The procedure takes 20 to 30 minutes. Because you will be sedated, you will need to rest at the endoscopy facility for at least 1/2 hour until the medication wears off. Possible complications of an upper endoscopy include bleeding and tearing of the stomach lining, but these complications are rare. Mild sore throat is common after the procedure.
This procedure is recommended in a variety of situations, including reflux, bleeding, and routine monitoring of conditions like Barrett's Esophagus and Eosinophilic Esophagitis.
To prepare for the procedure, your stomach and duodenum must be empty for the procedure, so you will not be able to eat or drink anything for at least 6 hours before. Also, you must arrange for someone to come to the procedure with you and take you home. Your physician may give you other special instructions regarding medications.
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) is an ablation procedure used to treat Barrett's Esophagus. The procedure is performed through the endoscope during an upper endoscopy.
During the procedure, an ablation catheter is inserted into your esophagus through the endoscope, and electrodes on the catheter are positioned on the desired treatment area. Energy is delivered to the electrodes and underlying tissue, and the catheter can then be repositioned to treat other areas. The amount of energy is controlled to remove the diseased tissue, and to reduce risk of injury to healthy tissue layers.
After the procedure, it is important that you follow the discharge instructions provided by the physician or the nursing staff to ensure proper healing of the esophagus. It is also important that you attend follow up visits to receive additional RFA treatment sessions, if necessary, and to ensure proper healing. The RFA procedure does not cure gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), so it is important that you continue to control reflux symptoms as recommended by your physician.
Photodynamic Therapy (PDT)
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a treatment for esophageal cancer. PDT combines a light source and a photosensitizing agent (a drug that is activated by light) to destroy cancer cells. The photosensitizing agent (porfimer sodium, also called photofrin) collects in cancer cells and normal cells, but more so in cancer cells.
For the treatment, photofrin is administered through a vein and travels through the blood stream to cells in your body. After a couple days, the photofrin remains only in the cancer cells and skin cells. You will then have an upper endoscopy where the physician will visualize the portion of the esophagus affected with cancer by exposing it to light from a laser
During an upper endoscopy, . The light causes a chemical change, and this change can kill the cancer cells, and only slightly damage nearby normal cells. PDT can be repeated may need to be repeated in some cases. The two major side effects associated with this treatment include reactions to bright light or sunlight, and swelling in the treated area. It is important that you protect your skin and eyes from sunlight and other bright light after photofrin has been injected and for 30 days after the injection. A reaction to bright light or sunlight (such as sunburn, swollen skin, and blistering) can occur very quickly, so the eyes and skin must be protected at all times. Swelling in the treated area may cause nausea, chest pain, abdominal pain, fever, difficulty breathing, and difficulty swallowing. You may additionally experience vomiting, constipation, or infection. If side effects occur, they should be reported to your physician right away.
Esophageal Manometry
Esophageal manometry is a test performed to measure pressure in the esophagus. This test may also be called an esophageal motility study, and it is usually recommended to determine if a swallowing problem is due to improperly working muscles in your esophagus. When the muscles in the esophagus do not work properly, you may experience difficulty swallowing, heartburn, esophageal spasms, and possibly pneumonia. There are many possible findings from esophageal manometry tests, and your physician will discuss your results with you.
During the test, a thin tube is inserted through your nose or mouth and into your esophagus. The tube measures pressure in your esophagus as you swallow to determine if there is any abnormality. The test generally takes less than one hour. Side effects from this test are rare, but may include some gagging during the exam or mild sore throat after the exam.
To prepare for esophageal manometry, you should not eat or drink anything for 8 hours prior to the test. In some cases, your physician will give you special instructions about medications that cannot be taken prior to the test.
A colonoscopy is a procedure that allows a physician to look inside your large intestine to determine if inflamed tissue, abnormal growths, or ulcers are present. The procedure is recommended to look for early signs of colon or rectal cancer and also to look for causes of unexplained rectal bleeding, weight loss, abdominal pain, or other symptoms.
During the procedure, you will be given pain medication and a sedative to help you relax. You will be asked to turn on your left side then the physician will insert a long, flexible tube with a light into your rectum and then colon. The tube is called a colonoscope, and it transmits an image of the inside of the colon onto a video screen for careful examination of the colon lining. The procedure lasts about 30 to 60 minutes and during it, you may feel mild cramping and discomfort. Most abnormal growths in your colon, like polyps, can be removed during the procedure. Polyps, which are growths in the lining of the bowel, are often not cancerous, but they must be sent to the lab for testing. Removing polyps will help prevent cancers from forming. The doctor can also obtain samples of tissue to test for other diseases of the colon.
After the procedure, you must remain at the endoscopy facility until the sedative from the exam wears off. However, you will not be allowed to drive, so you must have a responsible person check in with you and drive you home following the procedure. You may continue to feel cramps or bloating, but this usually resolves after one hour.
To prepare for this exam, you will be given specific instructions which include a strict diet in the few days before your exam. Your colon must be completely empty for the test to be useful and safe, so you will need to drink a bowel preparation fluid to help empty it. Your physician may also ask you to stop using certain medications prior to the exam.
Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES)
A FEES study is used to evaluate swallowing.
During the exam, a flexible tube is inserted into your throat to see what happens during a swallow. You may be asked to eat foods of different consistencies colored with dyes. This allows the physician to observe movement of food from the back of your mouth, through the throat and into your esophagus.

Jobs and Internships
We have no open positions at this time.
We have several internship opportunities at the MAH. An internship is different from volunteering in that we ask you to make a significant time commitment to the museum, take responsibility for a specific project, and learn to work across many areas of the museum. Each intern has a manager on staff who will work with you to develop a project plan, provide mentorship throughout the project, and provide feedback on your work. All MAH internships are unpaid. It is possible to get school credit if that works for your professors/teachers/administrators.
We offer internships in three timeframes:
- summer
- school year
- other – usually short-term intensives for graduate students or professionals
Please note that internships at the MAH are a full-contact sport. We don't have a comprehensive program to provide extensive training or structure, and things move quickly here. That can be exciting or chaotic depending on how you look at it. Successful MAH interns are self-directed, energized about the opportunity to take on significant projects, and undaunted by the unknown. Feel free to talk with us more about what the experience is like (or talk to current interns!) to make sure it's right for you.
Photography/Video Intern (October 4th-December 19th, 2014)Deadline to apply: September 22nd 2014
This position supports Marketing at the MAH by creating dynamic and engaging media from our events, exhibitions, and day-to-day operations. Marketing at the MAH takes on an engaged, adaptive and creative approach. An open exchange of ideas is encouraged. Meeting deadlines is necessary. Your path at the museum is up to you: at the minimum, you will generate great content to be shared between visitors, used across all of MAH's social media, printed materials, and fundraising initiatives. At the maximum, you could create an independent photo/video project for the MAH that will be used across all departments of the museum and add incredible content to your portfolio.
Prioritize creative content. Must be comfortable interacting with people—sometimes in a hectic and crowded setting. Learn and practice the museum's mission in a way that highlights the heart of the organization itself through your photography or film. For more info on how to apply please click here.
Guerrilla Marketing Intern (January-June, 2014)
Deadline to apply: January 19th, 2015
This position supports the Marketing & Engagement Coordinator in creative marketing strategies—emphasis on creative. This isn't a desk-heavy position. This is a role on the front-lines, prioritizing exciting outreach ideas and lots of interaction with people.
There are two paths for this position. You can choose one (or both. This isn't the Matrix.):
MAH Street Squad – Help lead a passionate group of volunteers in brainstorming creative ways to get the word out about MAH events and exhibitions. This is less about flyering, and more about "sneaky" ways to promote (think: pop-up libraries, flash mobs, distributing an army of plastic animals around downtown leading to the museum).
Goodbying – Creating compelling, creative DIY takeaways promoting MAH events for visitors. Being a people person to the zillionth degree, positively representing the museum while engaging visitors through dynamic takeways (mini-zines, personalized notes, swag!) and awesome conversation.
For more info on how to apply please click here.
School Programs Intern (October 4th, 2014 – June 2015)
New Deadline to Apply: January 5th, 2015
The School Programs Internship provides an experience for those with a strong interest in education to teach and share art and history with local elementary aged school children in both a classroom setting and informal learning environment. Interns assist with curriculum development, lesson planning, public speaking and delivering lesson plans. The Museum creates opportunities for further understanding, enjoyment, and engagement with original works of art and historic artifacts. We believe this is achieved through the process of personal meaning-making gained not only from looking at objects but also from discussing, experiencing, and connecting to art and history. For more info on how to apply please click here.
Teen Program Intern (January 2015-June 2015)
Deadline to Apply: January 5th, 2015
The Teen Program Internship supports planning, and implementation of MAH's Teen Program, Subjects to Change. Through meetings, co-facilitating activities including but not limited to team building exercises, documentation of our community, and leadership enrichment trainings, the Teen Program Intern assists in teens explore what it means to be an active community member, how as community members teens can create change, and the tools necessary to ignite leadership.

Sometimes I get cravings to eat something right before bed, around midnight.
So I cook up 4 egg whites using PAM and eat it with ground pepper and 1 tsp of honey mustard (10 cals, 0 fat, 2g carbs, 25 sodium).
Is this bad?
Will any of it go to fat?

There's no doubting the importance of the Lexus RX. It's one of the top-selling models from one of the top-selling luxury marques. At the cutting edge when introduced in the late '90s, the RX is now on its third iteration, with a fourth on the way – and this appears to be our best look at it yet.
Coming your way via a leaked brochure, the 2013 Lexus RX is apparently undergoing a facelift that will bring its appearance in line with the brand's latest design language – centering around the pinched chrome-edged "spindle" grille that characterizes the front of the latest GS sedan. Reshaped headlamps with a strip of LEDs flank either side, and, of course, it's all riding on new wheels.
While the RX may not be exactly what you'd call "performance-oriented" – floating as it does down the road and communicating less through the steering wheel than you'd expect from a pouting pre-teen behind a slammed bedroom door – the new model is apparently getting an F Sport trim kit. That would include a new front bumper, honeycomb grille, rear spoiler, bigger wheels and tinted lamps, with sportier trim to match on the inside.
We'd expect to see Lexus officially release the new RX sometime within the next few weeks, with a probable debut at the New York Auto Show in April, but in the meantime you can scope it out right here.

There are numerous benefits associated with purchasing Blackberry 10 cases for your phone.
- Maintain phone's resale value – By installing a Blackberry Z10 Case onto your phone, you can protect the resale value of your phone and protect the money that you have invested in your phone. Our cases are designed to protect the phone from drops, scratches and dents that might affect your phone without a case.
- Protect phone from damage – The most obvious benefit – mounting a case onto your Blackberry will protect your phone from the most common types of damage – scratches, dings and dents that are normally associated with drops and scratches.
- Easier to handle – Because of our proprietary anti-stick coating that is applied to all our cases, it becomes much easier to handle your phone if you have wet or oily hands, meaning there is a much lower chance of accidently dropping your phone. This works to protect the internal workings of the phone and keeps it operating at maximum capacity.
A Blackberry Z10 case is a great investment for your new Blackberry phone if you want to protect it from every day wear and tear.

I just feel so fucking empty. like there's nothing i want to try for anymore. no more dreams, no more hopes or wishes. everytime i see a pattern in time i used to have something to wish for. now there's nothing. maybe just to be happy. with anything. i wish someone could just take me away. show me a good time and help me forget pain and loneliness.but that's not going to happen.

The utter fakery of Khristian D'Avis, 22, confounds me from the start and makes me want to fast-forward her segment. "I do have a band… I've been craving that life," she purrs. Every sentence out of her mouth is coming from a different planet, and she clearly has "a lot going on" (great understatement from J. Lo) emotionally. Harry calls her out on losing the Sicilian accent as soon as the desperate begging portion of her Best Actress in a Reality Series reel begins. And Keith notices she doesn't even listen to Harry's advice about how "there's a real way to connect and a fake way to connect." Oh, and her singing voice is even shakier than her emotional status on "Saving All My Love For You." So…. that's crazy. Kudos to Keith for saying no. Next.
A young man tells Jennifer Lopez, "Fix your t*ts, it's okay" -- and that's the last time anyone will ever see him. Anyone. Off with his head!
Jena Asciutto, 17, booms out "Rolling in the Deep" without sounding like an Adele copycat -- for that alone I say send this girl to the Top 10. The high school senior sang lead in a band, Infinity Hour, before quitting eight months ago, likely to go the solo artist route. (You can see a bunch of Infinity Hour performances on YouTube.) She sounds a lot like Hayley Williams from Paramore but with a bigger voice. I love her sweet, muted reaction upon receiving the golden ticket. "That's gonna be a fun watch," says Harry. I'd personally like to watch the Idol stylists chop off most of that scraggly hair and highlight her face. Then again, wigs! There are so many wigs right now.
Haley Reinhart lookalike alert! Georgia gal Melanie Porras, 19, "already has the seeds," Harry announces after her double-header of "Fever," with guitar, and "Wanted Dead or Alive" a cappella, though you'd think it'd be the other way around. 'Cause she's a cowgirl! She's probably my favorite guitarist of the night -- I could never have predicted some of her choices to accompany "Fever." The judges understandably want to make sure the voice is there, too, but I can picture Melanie pulling ahead down the line with all that musicianship under her belt. She just seems like a complete artist. "J. Lo, you're so beautiful." And she's smart, too!
YES. Flower Crown. "The leather and the stockings… it's a very beautiful mix," Jennifer Shmennifer raves to Jade Lathan, 20. She's my favorite audition of the night, and it's not totally about the vocals, even though "You Know I'm No Good" leaks right out of her almost effortlessly. It's because she's this glowing rod of happiness, like optimism personified -- and how could you not want to watch something like that on your TV screen forever? I bet every guy she's ever met is in love with her. There's a little whistle in her voice, too. I'm smitten.
American Idol is a journey, my friends -- even if its first and last stop is Keith Urban deeming you unsexy.
Aww. Keep trying, Liam. Hit puberty, that should definitely help.

Butterflies spread their wings early after warm start to spring
By Lauren FitzPatrick Sun-Times Media email@example.com April 18, 2012 4:42PM

First the bulbs poked up through winter dirt. The lilacs bloomed ahead of schedule.
Now the butterflies are here, heralding an unusually proper springtime in Chicago.
These cheerful snippets of spring have already arrived or awoken, eating what they can find, thanks to warm March temps.
The Red Admiral — a medium-sized velvety black butterfly with orange bands on its wings — has already migrated up from the South for the milder half of the year.
"It got here early this year," said Doug Taron, a longtime lover of butterflies who manages the Judy Istock Butterfly Haven, home to 1,000 butterflies at the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum. "A lot of things got here early."
In the last weekor so, the Red Admirals have multiplied ferociously, Taron said. They're drawn to the city because they eat an inconspicuous plant known to pop up through sidewalk cracks and in people's lawns: Pelletory.
And they've been spotted throughout the region sipping nectar from lilac bushes and apple trees, some of the only earliest available sources, he said.
Yellow-tipped Mourning Cloak and orange-and-brown-spotted Question Mark butterflies have already emerged, too, awoken from hiberation in local trees and building cracks and woodpiles, said Jeff Mitchell, a curator at the Brookfield Zoo.
"The best thing is (that) these animals have an ability to adapt to Chicago winters," he said. "They don't have coats.
"They're surviving out there and we have a chance to see them early and it just shows how we're all connected to wildlife and nature," he said.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Director57 Rooms in bad repair Worst business hotel experience in years. Room carpet had lots of stains, including large one right as you walk in. Bathroom sink wouldn't drain. Remote batteries dead. AC unit leaked onto carpet. Bed extremely uncomfortable - way too soft. Didn't sleep the first night for more than an hour at a stretch. Staff did move me to another room, which was cleaner, but the bed was still much too soft. I will never stay at a Sheraton again if I can help it, or at least this hotel. May 20, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by missbeauty This hotel was okay Overall the remodeling looks great. The room cleanliness was poor. I would recommend the housekeeper do a better job in the bathroom. August 18, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by SuZee61 Better 2 years ago We loved this hotel when we won a trip 2 years ago. It was bright, colorful, staff was friendly. This time front desk staff was rude, condescending, rarely visible. Common areas seemed faded. Room was nice and comfortable but a huge swatch of paint was ripped from the gray painted bathroom door which detracted from ambience. Pool remains lovely. Hot tub too hot (and I LIKE them hot!!!). Quality of towels noticeably cheaper. November 11, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Hmrsldy The Club Level is nice The hotel is in the process of refreshing the facilities,. so a few things are clearly in progress. I enjoyed the "Club Level" services. For me the business traveler it gave my the extras that help bridge the gap. The separate room to relax in away from the hotel room. Associates and I could sit, talk and had access to light refreshments and computers, without being in the restaurant or bar. Even when the coffee machine was out of order Charles, a staff member , made sure we were taken care of. I was able to have the few extra comforts which I requested present upon arrival- Thanks Anne- The rooms were nice, bathroom smaller than usual, but it's an older hotel. April 26, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Hermes Lower than my expectation for Sheration brand Hotel is very close to the railway. You can hear trains passing by in the night if your room faces the street. Facilities seem a little wore out. A/C could be loud when it's on. Food is below average. No benefits for SPG Gold. It does offer free parking. A separate living room provides more space for family activities. Also love the jacuzzi. Hotel is close to highway to FLL airport, Miami downtown and Miami Beach. January 16, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Bob27 Hotel needs work A C Hardly worked...took ALL day to cool. Dining light didn't work. Called Maint. Never came. Pool area....Pool gate doesn't work, pool shower doesn't work. pool was dirty, (full of leaves, papers, and cups. Pool deck also trashy.(saw rat traps too) No info, like where are pool towels?? Mattress in room was sooo mushy, you sink in it and made it hard to get out of bed and didn't help our backs any. July 25, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by jr58 Pain in the back My wife and I usually stay at a different hotel chain when in town. The Sheraton was more strategically located to our business this time so we thought we'd give it a try...Over all the hotel was OK. The problem was the hotels choice of mattresses. It appeared to be a cheap knock off of some type of memory foam gone bad. It was the most uncomfortable mattress I'd ever tried to sleep on. It offered absolutely no support. I sank in the bed to the point where I swear I could feel the box spring below.Needless to say I ended up sleeping on the couch.The next morning we were offered another room. While the next bed was slightly better another night of sleep depravation was in store for me.Needless to say if you have back problems as I do this hotel would not be for you. July 12, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by AnnaMaria A very pleasant stay The hotel has a very nice hall and set up that makes it very pleasant just to sit down for a drink. The staff is very professional and helpful and the room is very, very comfortable. Unfortunately I only stayed one night as I was travelling but next time in Fort Lauderdale I certainly will make sure to have a room at the Sheraton Suites at Cypress Creek November 5, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by joy61 Bad experience Definitely not up to the standard of most other Sheraton Hotels. Checked in on a Friday afternoon and there was a long line and only ONE desk clerk working. Tried checking out on Sunday morning and the same thing - ONE desk clerk working! A large family/group (including 9 kids) checked in on Saturday (they brought 3 cases of water/soda/beer with them) and they were on our floor and nothing but trouble. The kids were running up and down the halls, riding the elevators, and running through the lobby after midnight and we couldn't sleep. Called the front desk THREE times to complain and nothing was ever done. I threatened to call the Police and the front desk clerk's reponse was "so, go ahead." All the desk clerk had to do was walk out from behind the counter and stop the kids in the lobby and ask them to return to their room - NOT a difficult task but apparently way above this guys job description of keeping preferred guests happy. Not a relaxing weekend at all. September 19, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by bammer Not a great hotel The mattress is worn, uneven and uncomfortable. The seats on the chairs in the breakfast area are sticky and leave a black substance on your pants. I ruined 2 pairs before realizing where it was coming from. However - The staff is always very friendly and the food good. September 28, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by ExMarrGSO WORST MEETING EVER!! What's going wrong? Everything!!!!!!!! Attendees complaining about cleanliness, maids do 1/3 of the things normal maids do, construction is loud all day, at least 25% of the attendees have a broken or missing items in their rooms, sales staff is helpful, but not really accommodating, A/V guys leaves at noon so if something goes wrong after that, there is no one here to help, hotel is damp, roof is literally leaking into the lobby, Private Bqt. Event was weird in the "Atrium," used the bar that everyone else at hotel is ordering from, and didn't think to add a bartender for our event, long drink lines, coffee runs out and no one asks if we need more, then members are mad b/c there's no coffee, when I complain that coffee disappears, Event Mngr. just giggles and orders more, then it never comes, several attendees have had to move rooms because their rooms were next to be renovated, some rooms have mold, etc. etc. The main complaint is that the hotel is not accommodating, friendly or seem concerned at all when things go wrong. February 7, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Diane48 Overall Excellant, one complaint The beds are extremely comfortable but the pull out couch was horrible and caused extreme back pain for my husband's care giver who was traveling with us. Also, the food staff was rude at times. November 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Hanges07 Nice place to stay Beautiful hotel with nice accommodations. Food in the restaurant was satisfactory for dinner and breakfast. Was open for appropriate times for travelers getting in late and leaving early. Meals were moderately priced. Over all a good experience. August 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Don1052 Very good place to stay We very much enjoyed the staff and amenities at the Sheraton Cypress Creek. The restaraunt in the facility did an excellent job on the meals we had there. Shatik was helpuful and went out of her way to make sure we were taken care of. November 12, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Smitty242 Hotel Staff Needs WORK! The hotel its self was not to bad, but when we got into the rooms the madness began. The living room floor was SOAKED and we didnt find out until after we unloaded ALL of our stuff. We got moved into another room with NO assistance only to have no sheets on the pull out bed and only one person on staff so no one could bring it up to us. The next day house keeping came in and literally only fixed one bed. The REMOVED THE TOWELS and DID NOT REPLACE THEM! So, as you can imagine we were towel-less and no trash was taken out. Even though things were not going great I still went and asked to extend my stay one night, the "night manager" said she cannot see my rate so I would have to pay the rate which is going for that night, I'm fine with that except she LIED because when I checked out my rate was printed on the receipt! Not to mention the hotel has leaking problems in the lobby and Flooding problems in the parking lot, UP TO YOUR KNEES! We could actually see the water bubbling up which means there was a drainage problem. I would NEVER go back, these conditions were way to unsanitary for me. October 10, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by alano location has pros and cons The rooms are spacious and large and it sits very close to I95 and the turnpike. The problem is that it also sits very close to a railroad so light sleepers will hear the train frequently. December 25, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by GGGGG50 Needs improvement Fixtures are becoming dated. Toilet seats are faded. There should be free coffee somewhere in this hotel in the morning. October 3, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by architect1 very nice the hotel is centrally located and has a charm that is reflrceted in the lobby and garden atrium. November 3, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by WickedWitch I stay here because it is convenient to where I do business I was very disappointed with my recent stay at this hotel: 1-I requested foam pillows in my reservation. When I check in I asked if the room I was assigned had foam pillows and was told it did not, but that they would be brought up right away. I had to leave the room before they switched out the pillows and when I returned several hours later they still were not there and I had to call housekeeping to get them 2-the carpet in front on the full-length mirror was wet 3-the coffee and cups from the previous guest had not been replenished -- only 1 cup and only decaf coffee was available 4-the bath mat was torn and frayed 5-a full set of towels had not been replenished from the previous guest's stay 6-I killed a large bug on the wall in the bedroom area Again -- if this were not the most convenient hotel to where I do business I might not stay here again. January 22, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by crampa VERY NICE Had a 2 room reservation,both exceeded our expectations. Very comfortable and quiet even though it was a busy weekend. Staff was great November 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by flyob1 Home away from home I travel to Fortlauderdale every week for one to two nights, I have been doing this for over a year! I stayed at a few different hotels but I have to say on my first stay at north cypress I had a problem, and after I was jerked around a little Amanda realized that my problem from the previous stay couldn't be rectified so she asked what would make me happy! That question was all I needed to hear to know this was the place for me! The entire staff goes out of there way to make you feel like your important! The value is excellent and I just want to say thanks to Amanda and the staff! Michael O May 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Elliotz A warm place to stay for work & play. Love the new look of the hotel. And always appreciate how nice and friendly the staff are especially the guest services staff. They make all the guests feel welcome and at home. I highly recommend them for those who travel often and wish to chose a specific hotel to frequent . November 5, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by notthathardtopleasereally Needs a lot of work The restaurant chairs have a horrible black layer of dirt and grease on them - every single chair in the place! As you sit on them it warms up and becomes sticky. This is disgusting. I had to put a napkin between the seat and I. The food was average at best (dinner) and well below average (breakfast - undercooked onions in an omelet. Also 4.50 for one cup of coffee is outrageous. Maybe the hotel could use the 4.49 they make from each coffee to replace the disgusting upholstery on the chairs. The room itself was ok, no big problems there. The check-in experience was bad, with only one person working the front desk, and a line of people already waiting, Same thing for check out. More desk staff are needed. September 17, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by ChrisAtl Relaxing with the right amenities With my constant travelling, it is nice to have a location that has the right mix of room size, comfort, location and especially the SPG club. The Sheraton Suites Cypress Creek has all of this and more. This mix is highlighted by the staff which makes our visit that much better each time I visit. Thank you September 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by StevefromToronto Attractive suite hotel, friendly & attentive staff Staff was very friendly & attentive, especially the woman who checked me in and out, acknowledged my status, looked for & found a room that accommodated my preferences. Suite room was really nice & spacious. November 5, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Localtraveler68 Would recommend but I wont stay here again Very pretty nice hotel. Stayed one night for a local get away without the kids. The king size bed was horrible. The kind where we both rolled into the center and it wasn't even. It was very lumpy.The air conditioner although was cold at the vent would not circulate and we were very hot. It also kicks on and off all night long and is the loudest air conditioner. We really hardly slept. We were miserable. We were even given a 1pm checkout. We slept maybe 4 hours and just got up and left. Also had to run out right after a typical South Florida thunderstorm and the parking lot was so flooded we had to go through a huge lake like puddle to get to our car. Room was nice and clean and nicely decorated, awesome shower and water pressure but personally I would never stay there again. There are too many other hotels around. August 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by rb72 had a great time Stayed on the 6th floor and enjoyed my room. Had a lovely time with my folks. May 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Christie386 One of the few hotels who pays attention I'm allergic to feathers and this is a major problem when traveling. This was one of the few hotels who paid attention to my request for a feather-free room in advance of my arrival and had an appropriate room waiting for me at check-in. 90% of hotels ignore my requests, so I was extremely pleased. My only complaint and the only reason they didn't get 5 stars across the board was they did not provide any hand towels or washcloths in the bathroom -- only towels. Once I called down, they brought some up within 30 minutes, but it's pretty inconvenient to find out when the shower's running and you're ready to get in that you have no washcloth. December 2, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by BCSTraveler Terrible A/C and Staff The A/C was not working and they tried to say it was overwhelmed by the heat. It was JANUARY in Florida... come on. I found out that they were upgrading and installing new units later on and didn't want to replace the ones broken. The front desk staff were rude and lazy. My wife was sick and they said NO rooms were available for early check in. We went to the cafe and Monica saw my wife was sick, she went to the manager and got us a room IMMEDIATELY - the front desk was too lazy to check and be inconvenienced. Sheraton needs to address this property. January 9, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Edward787 Nice hotel, Lost & Found nowhere to be found The hotel is good and all personnel was very nice. Except, after leaving the hotel I have been trying to contact Lost & Found for 5 3 days now and nobody has even responding to my messages. September 9, 2014

Cloud computing has dramatically changed the role of IT, said Bernard Golden, vice president of strategy for ActiveState—both for better and worse. While cloud has enabled companies to save money and expand their capabilities, it's far from a panacea.
One of the challenges enterprises experience when moving to the cloud is bringing along the same problems. The expectation should be that "everything fails all the time." Amazon Web Services, said Golden, also had that expectation. But when it suffered a failure, its customers were surprised.
There are solutions to reduce the risk of failure. Among them: moving persistent data off the VMs, using redundant resources, implementing resource elasticity, and leveraging CSP elasticity.
"You have to start adding redundancy. You want to be able to grow and shrink it. There are successively greater application practices that get you successively higher numbers of 9s," Golden said. "But as you expect, the more 9s, the more cost."
Golden said it's important to understand that with cloud, "the meter's always running." The good news is that you only pay for what you use. But that's the bad news too. If you're not using your resources wisely, "it's like having a taxi parked at the end of your driveway."
But cloud computing is not going away anytime soon. While the amount of time people spend watching TV and browsing the Web each day has remained constant over the past four years, we now spend 127 minutes using our mobile devices, compared to 66 minutes in 2010.
And while sales of PCs are growing only slightly, a huge spike is forecast for both tablets and smartphones. "It's clear that mobile is coming to the fore," Golden said.
There are more mobile users, which creates much greater load variability, greater stress on the backend, and the need for more frequent updates. Users are accessing devices and applications at different times of the day. And APIs don't solve the problem. Instead, they can exacerbate the problem.
Golden said he expects that cloud brokers will emerge to help companies find vendors and manage costs.
In the meantime, he advises IT managers and enterprises not to underestimate the opportunities cloud enables, recognize that the cloud imposes new problems and requires new solutions, look to all elements of the application lifecycle, and automate, configure, and count.
The bottom line, said Golden, is "Don't underestimate the opportunities cloud enables. And recognize that cloud imposes new problems and requires new solutions."
