Pros: Doesn't FLAKE, Lengthens, curls
Cons: it took me a while to warm up to this product since it is a wet formula. I typically love wet formulas but this was a bit to much for my taste. I have small eyelashes so wet formulas are best for me because I mostly need length.
I didn't like it at first so I put it away. I then tried it again after 2 weeks and I fell in love once it was a little dry. It gave me great length but again this does not volume. Which is fine with me because I only want big length and this gives it to me.
Note that is a bit tricky to apply since the wand is a bit flimsy. Don't use this it your in a hurry because the wand kinda wiggles around since its flimsy and plus the product itself is wet. It can turn out to get product around undesired areas if your not careful! Especially when you have nice eyeshadow ughhh. the worst

It took me a while to warm up to this product. I switched to this simple mascara from a very lush MAC mascara. This mascara is great for a daytime, subtle, natural look. If you're not a heavy makeup wearer and just need a little coverage for your lashes, this is a great bang for your buck. Personally, I like a fuller, more exaggerated lash. I didn't abandon the product, I routinely change my mascara every three months and decided to see it through. I definitely applied many, many coats each use..but ultimately, not a bad product. In the middle; don't love it, don't hate it. If it was on sale or it was given to me for free, I would definitely use it again.

I loved this mascara for the first few weeks. Went on smooth without clumping. But now it seems to clump up and is more difficult to apply smoothly. But NO FLAKING which is awesome. I am still searching for the five star mascara. Until then, this will do.

I ran out of my own mascara and decided to take one of the extra's from my mom. The first thing I noticed about this mascara was how flimsy it was. I could hardly put it back into the tube. My hands were covered in black because it was making me mad. Though the wand was a bit weird, I did like mascara. It is a bit hard to wash off and it doesn't flake. I don't think I would buy this again due to the wand. It makes it harder to put on the mascara when you can't control it well.

This is the only product that I have purchased and used consistently over the course of 7 years. I always come back to this mascara, and always need to have it on hand. I usually layer my mascaras, only using 2. I use this, with whatever volumizing mascara I feel like using on top. This mascara defines and lengthens like no other. I always purchase it in waterproof, as it holds a curl significantly better than the regular formula, but that is the case with any mascara you buy. This s my HG mascara, and has been since I started wearing mascara when I was younger. I always continue the search for my HG foundation, powder, brow pencil, etc. But as far as mascara goes, this I will use forever. Perfection.

I like this mascara because it doesn't clump, it separates your lashes & makes your lashes long. This mascara is more for a natural look.

I actually love this mascara because I don't like the thick clumping types of mascaras and this one goes on nice, clean and simple. It defines and lengthens the lashes. Similar to the Cover Girl Clump free mascara, except this one is much easier to hold and apply. The CG clump free one is so fat and hard to hold, it often slipped out of my fingers. The packaging is simple and attractive.
I've only used this mascara a few days but so far I am very pleased with it and am pretty sure I would buy it again.

This. Is. The. Best. Mascara. Period. I have used this mascara for probably 5-6 years and I get complements all the time of how long my lashes look. The funny thing is they can't believe that I'm wearing mascara, they think its NATURAL (which I think is totally the point.) There is no clumping WHATSOEVER and I never get raccoon eyes or flakes. The only bad part is I think it may be discontinued. I have been having a hard time finding it in stores these days (I went to 4) and could only find it in blackest black which is too dark for me (I like brownish black.) I will be pretty upset if it is.

A collection of relevant and timely media clips and resources.
Posted on February 1, 2012
By Wayne LaPierre, NRA Executive Vice President
The Coming Storm: Part III
Remember the tidal wave that devastated Indonesia seven years ago?
While Americans sat down to Christmas dinner, an earthquake off Sumatra sent a tsunami racing across the ocean faster than a 747, and carrying more energy than 1,500 Hiroshima bombs.
As the wave approached the coast, it slowed and rose into a wall of water that was 100 feet high in some places. It then plowed inland like a derailed train, bulldozing villages, flattening forests, drowning, destroying and washing away everything.
The Indonesians never saw it coming, so they weren't able to act to save themselves. By the time they tried, disaster was upon them. As a result, nearly 250,000 men, women and children who might have been saved—if only they had taken action in time—were killed.
Today in the United States, just as in Indonesia, too many Americans don't see—or don't recognize—the tidal wave that's bearing down on our nation and our freedoms.
If we don't warn our fellow Americans in time, disaster could be upon us on Election Day—just nine short months from now.
That's why I wrote to you last November and again this month, calling on you to help alert, educate and mobilize the American people to defeat Barack Obama before he dismantles our Second Amendment freedom—and all of our freedoms as Americans—completely and forever.
If, like thousands of other informed, active and patriotic Americans, you already responded to my letter, I thank you. If not, I urge you to renew or upgrade your NRA membership or make a contribution toward defending freedom now.
We're running out of time. That's why NRA is "All In" for the 2012 election, and why you must be "All In" with the NRA.
Most Important Election In U.S. History
It might seem like a stretch to compare an election to one of the deadliest disasters in modern history.
This year's election could prove the most disastrous in the history of this country. Why? Because this election will decide whether Americans remain free.
There's no simpler, more accurate or exact way to say it—it's all or nothing.
Either we defeat Barack Obama and retain all the benefits of our pro-gun victories over the past 30 years—from the Firearms Owners' Protection Act and the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, to the Right-to-Carry revolution, Castle Doctrine, hunter protection and landmark victories in the U.S. Supreme Court—or we lose this election and lose it all.
Everything you and I, and gun owners across America have fought to achieve over the past three decades could be lost as a result of just one presidential election. It's not just firearm freedom that's endangered—all of our freedoms are on the line.
In so many ways, Obama is leading our country straight to the dependence, lawlessness, unchecked government power—and the tyranny it invariably leads to—from which our Founding Fathers fled, and most feared and tried to prevent from ever returning to America by writing our Constitution and our Bill of Rights.
That's what I mean when I say "all or nothing." This year's election will literally be a struggle for the survival of freedom in America. And America's first freedom—your Second Amendment Right to Keep and Bear Arms—is very likely the first that will fall as a result of Obama's re-election. After all, Obama has spent his entire career seeking to effectively eliminate your Right to Keep and Bear Arms. History proves it.
Obama's Secret War On Second Amendment Freedom
Obama won't admit his anti-gun agenda, but his record speaks for itself.
Within a week of his election to the White House in 2008, Obama's "transition team" posted several elements of his gun-ban agenda on the Internet—at change.gov—but then abruptly deleted the web page.
Since then, whenever the Obama administration has dropped its guard and revealed its true intent to ban firearms, it has quickly backed down to restore a facade of sanity.
For example, in 2009, less than a month after he was confirmed as attorney general, Eric Holder admitted that his boss wanted to ban your semi-automatic firearms. Then he quickly backed off.
In 2010, top officials at the Environmental Protection Agency told anti-hunting activists the agency had the power to impose a ban on your lead ammunition. Then they quickly backed off.
In 2011, the Department of Interior announced that it was considering bans to stop you from target shooting on public lands. Then it quickly backed off.
The motive behind this madness is clear. Obama and company are engaged in a conspiracy of public deception intended to:
And the key to their success lies in keeping gun owners like you in the dark. Make no mistake: Barack Obama has spent his entire political career engaged in a stealthy assault on your Right to Keep and Bear Arms:
• 1996: Obama endorsed a total ban on the manufacture, sale and possession of all handguns.
• 1998: Obama endorsed a ban on the sale or transfer of all semi-automatic firearms.
• 1999: Obama supported a 500 percent increase in federal taxes on ammunition.
• 2003: Obama voted to ban single-shot, over-under and side-by-side shotguns.
• 2004: Obama said the right to carry should be banned nationwide.
Obama even said you shouldn't be allowed to have a gun in your home for self-defense!
It's true: Before the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Washington, D.C.'s ban on firearms in the home for self-defense, Obama had the gall to say that the ban was constitutional.
Worse yet, when the Illinois legislature voted on a bill that would exempt residents from prosecution for violating a local handgun ban if they used their handguns for self-defense in their own homes, Obama voted against the bill!
Once in the White House, Obama filled his cabinet with the most rabid anti-gun and radical anti-hunting extremists ever seen in Washington.
When he was Bill Clinton's "gun czar" in 1998, Obama's Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel led the charge for a massive new ban on imported semi-auto rifles. One of his henchmen bragged at the time, "We're bending the law as far as we can to ban an entirely new class of guns."
Obama's "regulation czar" Cass Sunstein is an animal "rights" zealot who believes hunting should be outlawed and animals should have the "right" to file lawsuits.
Attorney General Eric Holder was the Clinton administration's point man on gun control, and he filed a "friend of the court" brief in the Supreme Court's historic Heller case claiming that you have no individual Right to Keep and Bear Arms!
That's just the beginning.
As soon as he had the chance, President Obama set about stacking the U.S. Supreme Court with anti-gun justices he could trust to reverse our monumental victories in the Heller and McDonald cases.
Judging from their anti-gun histories, it appears that's exactly what Obama's nominees—Supreme Court Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan—will do. They are among the most rabidly anti-gun U.S. Supreme Court justices in American history.
I could fill 10 more pages detailing how Barack Obama has positioned his chess men to deliver the death blow to your Right to Keep and Bear Arms, but my point is this: Our freedoms cannot and will not survive four more years of Obama.
Last Rites For America's First Freedom?
If he wins a second term in the White House, Obama will be free to wage his war on your Right to Keep and Bear Arms openly and with impunity. Before his second term is finished, he'll very likely get to choose at least three more U.S. Supreme Court justices.
Voting with anti-gun Justices Sotomayor and Kagan, three new justices will command an anti-gun majority on the Court for the rest of their lives. Who might Obama choose for his next U.S. Supreme Court nominees?
For a clue, just look at those Obama has been grooming for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia—the traditional stepping-stone to the U.S. Supreme Court:
"The drafters of the Second Amendment surely did not intend to protect an individual's right to 'keep and bear' only the deadliest weapons technologically possible in a given era."
If Obama wins re-election, expect more gun-banning, freedom-destroying treaties coming from the United Nations with Obama's full support.
He's already called on the Senate to ratify the Organization of American States firearms treaty known as CIFTA, which would force you to register every firearm and round of ammunition you own in an international database.
And now that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has voiced Obama's support for the U.N.'s Arms Trade Treaty—reversing the official U.S. position—you can bet he'll sign that treaty the first chance he gets, too.
If Obama wins re-election, expect four more years of the same arrogance, overreach, contempt and corruption of the rule of law that have characterized this administration since Inauguration Day 2009.
Expect more orders, like the gun-registration scheme the Obama administration unilaterally imposed in four Southwestern states last year—all without congressional legislation or approval. If Obama wins re-election, expect it in all 50 states.
As Obama recently decreed, "We can no longer wait for Congress. ... Where Congress won't act, I will."
So expect more administration regulations and rules that let Obama make an end-run around the legislative process through schemes like those laid out in New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's "Blueprint for Federal Action," a 40-point gun-control package designed to be enacted by the president alone, without approval from anyone.
Expect more administration-created "problems" to be solved by the administration's gun-ban "solutions," like the Justice Department's "Fast and Furious" operation, which supplied Mexico's drug cartels with thousands of illegal guns that were later linked to the murders of at least one U.S. law enforcement officer and 300 people in Mexico.
It's All Or Nothing, Now Or Never: All In
Make no mistake, a second term for Barack Obama would spell disaster not just for firearm freedom, but for all the freedoms we enjoy as Americans. I know that as an informed, involved and active NRA member, you know that.
But far too many Americans don't see the danger. And if we don't alert them to take action now, a tsunami of almost unimaginable destructiveness could crush and wash away our freedoms on Election Day, just nine months from now.
That's why I urge you to help the NRA alert the American people to take action before it's too late. See the sidebar below for more details on what you can do. Together, if we act in time, we must, we can and we will save our nation. Be "All In" with the NRA.

Would I be better off to sub frame my 37 sedan or upgrade the orginal front end?if so what up grades are there?
37 chevy
Also what about the rear end should I change it out ? if so what is a good one to use ? power brakes? new set up for under the floor or on the fire wall?
I merged the two threads since they are a continuation of the same sentence. Best way to handle a situation like this is to make another post in the same thread rather than starting another thread that will eventually get separated from the first and loose continuity of the discussion.
I have a 38 chev, when I bought it I didn't know what or how I was going to do it.
It's not that hard to take the body off, made doing the chassis easier.Body floor and frame were sand blasted and epoxied. I used a TCI mustang 11 type kit.Kits are nice, all new parts. I went with power steering, but now regretting it, the cost for hoses, PS bracket,pump, pressure valve etc was about $500, have 1300 mile on the car and the rack leaks. It's easier to steer but still too quick.
I firewall mounted a stainless PS booster and chrome master cylinder, used a GM pedal, try to find one over 16'' long. I don't mind to look, so much real estate on a firewall, but I didn't want any holes in the floor for MC or pedal.
Rear spring , I used chassis engineering kit with a GM 10 bolt rear axle ( all I found of right width and was cheap), I see lots of cars with orignal springs, so if yrs look good and money is an issue use 'em.

20 Interesting Betta Fish Facts To Better Know Your Betta
Initially discovered in Southeast Asia and originally inhabiting flood plains, drainage ditches and rice paddies, the beautifully colored Betta fish is often kept as an aesthetic decoration in homes and offices. Also known as the Siamese fighting fish and 'The Jewel of the Orient', they are quite popular as aquarium pets, and require rather low maintenance and care. Most people know very little about the nature and characteristic of these multi-colored fish. Here are 20 interesting facts about Betta fish that will make you love and appreciate them, and perhaps even want to own some of your own.
If you enjoy this list you might enjoy learning about some of the weirdest animals in the world. And no, the Betta isn't one of them!
Betta Fish Taste With Their Fins
The delicate fins of the Bettas have some muscles, nerve cells and taste buds. This enables the Bettas to taste food or any other object with their fins.
Betta Fish Are Bred In Many Strains of Colors
The Bettas display a plethora of color patterns and strains, with new colored fish constantly being developed by breeders. The primary color is red, but you will also come across species that are yellow, green, blue, purple, brown, black or purple. There are also a few bettas which come with spots and stripes.
Upturned Mouth Structure
A fish's lifestyle is greatly determined by the positioning of its mouth. Downward-facing mouths, such as those found on Catfish and other bottom-dwelling fish, enable them to feed near the ground, from sand, rock surfaces, etc.
Betta fish have upturned mouths, a position known as the 'superior mouth' when it comes to fish. It enables them to efficiently feed near the water's surface, allowing them to catch mosquito larvae and small insects from the floating vegetation.
The Males Of The Species Are Extremely Territorial
Ironically the male Betta fish behave in an extremely alpha way when around other aggresive fish of any kind, in particular other Betta males. They are highly territorial and have been known to fight until they kill, or are killed, by their opponents in order to protect their territory. This is the reason Bettas are often placed in secluded tanks at pet stores, or at the most with other, more docile fish - and you'll never find two Betta males in the same fish tank.
Bettas Are Carnivorous In Nature
Generally, Betta fish are carnivores (or, to be more exact, insectivores). They prefer to feed on insect larvae, worms, fish pellet and flakes. They also feed on eggs of insects occasionally. In general, if you see Bettas feeding off of plant roots and such, it means they're very hungry and unable to find the insects they crave for.

Genetic parameter estimation and breeding plans for the South African dairy goat herd

Genetic parameter estimation and breeding plans for the South African dairy goat herd
Muller, C. J. C.
Date Issued:
Milk production records of all grade and registered Saanen dairy goats from the Milk Recording and Performance Testing Scheme of the Animal Improvement Institute of the Agricultural Research Council of South Africa and pedigree information of these animals from SA Studbook were analyzed to obtain specific genetic parameters. Records of goats with lactations exceeding 60 days in milk were used. A sufficient number of records only became available from 1985 onwards. Reproduction records were determined from milk recording data. The number of milk production records for the British Alpine and Toggenburg breeds was too small to warrant a genetic evaluation. In total, 3190 lactation records of 1413 Saanen does were available for the initial analysis. First and second parity records, 1190 and 775 records, respectively, were subjected to a separate genetic analysis. Milk production records (2319) of one commercial herd providing more than 70% of all the records in the national herd, were also subjected to a separate genetic analysis. The fixed effects identified as having a significant (P<0.05) effect on all traits studied were production year, age of dam, lactation length, parity number, herds (owners) and year of birth. Although some significant interactions were found, they were ignored as their effects were very small. Additive genetic variances and heritability estimates were obtained by ASREML procedures fitting three models. Estimates were generally in accordance with values found in the literature although estimates for fat and protein percentage were lower than expected when compared to dairy cow data. This could be explained by pedigree information lacking in the data set. The h2 estimate for milk yield using all records, first parity records, second parity records and records from a commercial herd were 0.21±0.05, 0.32±0.08, 0.20±0.10 and 0.31±0.06, respectively. Heritability estimates for fat percentage showed a large variation and were 0.19±0.05, 0.67±0.08, 0.34±0.12 and 0.12±0.05, respectively for similar data sets as previously mentioned. In contrast to this protein percentage varied little between data sets and were 0.30±0.06, 0.32±0.00, 0.24±0.11 and 0.28±0.07, respectively. Genetic and phenotypic correlations among production traits were positive and high for all data sets. As for dairy cows, milk fat and protein percentages were negatively related to milk yield. Genetic correlations between milk fat and protein percentages were positive and moderate to high. Increasing milk volume would have a negative effect on fat and protein percentages although it would increase fat and protein yields. Reproduction parameters, i.e. age at first kidding (AFK), age at last kidding (ALK), productive life (PL) and number of lactations (NL) were derived from milk recording data. Mean values for these parameters were 457±171 days, 1046±718 days, 19.3±13.9 months and 2.24±1.37 kiddings, respectively. Kidding interval had no genetic basis and is controlled by management. Heritability estimates were in accordance with literature values and were 0.25±0.04, 0.28±0.04, 0.08±0.04 and 0.05±0.03 for AFK, ALK, PL and NL, respectively. The genetic correlation between AFK and ALK was as expected positive and high, i.e. 0.61±0.10, although the correlation between AFK and PL was negative indicating similar to dairy cows that PL is shortened by a later AFK. The genetic trend for milk, fat and protein yield were positive, although it did not differ from zero. Large variations were observed between years (R2 <0.13). Genetic trends for fat and protein percentages were positive and negative (P<0.05), respectively. These trends are in contrast to trends observed in other countries such as France, The Netherlands and the USA where positive trends were generally observed. This may indicate a higher selection emphasis on milk yield parameters or more complete data sets in terms of pedigree information. The dairy goat industry in South Africa should address some of the problems that were encountered in the analysis of the data. These include factors such as a large number of small herds, many short lactations, a large number of animals lacking production data linked to pedigree information, incomplete pedigrees, few does that have completed three or more lactations, little genetic ties between herds and a small number of progeny for bucks. Some organizational and logistic issues concerning pedigree and milk recording need to be addressed by the South African Milch Goat Society to enable the accurate estimation of the genetic merit of animals in the national herd.

Nice lotion

I've use most of an 8oz bottle of this lotion along with an herbal capsule to try to diminish a few small varicose veins and some spider veins. There has been absolutely no improvement at all. The only positive thing I can say is that the veins aren't worse.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
This page is a how-to guide detailing a practice or process on the English Wikipedia.
Wikipedia is a wiki, meaning that anyone can edit any unprotected page and improve articles immediately for all readers. You do not need to register to do this. Anyone who has edited is known as a "Wikipedian" and, no matter how trivial the edit may seem, can be proud that he or she has helped make Wikipedia what it is. All of these edits add up!
However, some pages are protected from editing. These pages have a View source tab instead of an Edit tab. You can still edit these pages indirectly, by submitting an "edit request" – an editor with the ability to edit the protected page will respond to your request. You can submit a request by clicking on the View source tab on that page and using the "Submit an edit request" link at the bottom right.
Editing most Wikipedia pages is simple. Simply click on the "edit" tab at the top of a Wikipedia page (or on a section-edit link). This will bring you to a new page with a text box containing the editable text of the current page.
In this box, you can type in the text that you want to add, using wiki markup to format the text and add other elements like images and tables. The toolbar above the text box can help with formatting. A quick reference to wiki markup can be opened by clicking 'Help' in this toolbar.
Never start a line with a leading space unless you want the special formatting it causes. Paragraphs can be separated with a blank line. The Wikipedia community has developed style guidelines to make articles and facts appear in a standardized form, and Wikipedia easier to use as a whole.
If you add information to a page, please provide references, as unreferenced statements are subject to removal.
When you have finished editing, you should write a short edit summary in the small field below the edit-box. You may use shorthand to describe your changes, as described in the legend. To see how the page looks with your edits, press the "Show preview" button. To see the differences between the page with your edits and the previous version of the page, press the "Show changes" button. If you're satisfied with what you see, be bold and press the "Save page" button. Your changes will immediately be visible to all Wikipedia users.
Edit summary (Briefly describe the changes you have made)
☐ This is a minor edit ☑ Watch this page
By clicking the "Save page" button, you agree to the Terms of Use, and you irrevocably agree to release your contribution under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 License and the GFDL.
You agree that a hyperlink or URL is sufficient attribution under the Creative Commons license.
Save page Show preview Show changes Cancel
Note: Do not sign the Edit Summary line with your ~~~~ signature as it does not work there.
Talk pages are similar to articles in that they also have a "new section" tab to start a new section or edit the whole page.
A check to the "minor edit" box signifies that only superficial differences exist between the version with your edit and the previous version: typo corrections, formatting and presentational changes, rearranging of text without modifying content, etc. A minor edit is a version that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. The "minor edit" option is one of several options available only to registered users.
All editors are encouraged to be bold, but there are several things that a user can do to ensure that major edits are performed smoothly. Before engaging in a major edit, a user should consider discussing proposed changes on the article discussion/talk page. During the edit, if doing so over an extended period, the
{{In use}} tag can reduce the likelihood of an edit conflict. Once the edit has been completed, the inclusion of an edit summary will assist in documenting the changes. These steps will help all to ensure that major edits are well received by the Wikipedia community.
A major edit should be reviewed to confirm that it is consensual to all concerned editors. Therefore, any change that affects the meaning of an article is major (not minor), even if the edit is a single word.
There are no necessary terms to which you have to agree when doing major edits, but the recommendations above have become best practice. If you do it your own way, the likelihood of your edits being reedited may be higher.
When performing a large edit, it is suggested you periodically, and before pressing 'save page', copy your edits into an external text editor (preferably one without formatting, such as Notepad). This ensures that in the case of a browser crash you will not lose your work. If you are adding substantial amounts of work, it is also a good idea to save changes in stages.
Some pages are protected from editing. These pages have a View source tab instead of an Edit tab. You can still edit these pages indirectly, by submitting an "edit request" – an editor with the ability to edit the protected page will respond to your request. You can submit a request by clicking on the View source tab on that page and using the "Submit an edit request" link at the bottom right.
There is a tool built into the top of the edit box that makes it easier to add and properly format references. The tool can use a single piece of data, such as the PMID or ISBN, to fill in the rest of the details.
Wiki markup is the information not displayed on the finished article. Wiki markup is only visible in the edit section and is used to instruct the MediaWiki software so it knows how to display, categorize and process the article. A basic list of Wiki markup can be found on the cheatsheet.
Make sure that you submit information which is relevant to Wikipedia's specific purpose, or your content might be deleted. You can always use the talk pages to ask questions or check to see if your idea will be accepted. Please make note of the license your contributions will be covered by.

She was very professional and caring, She takes time with you and explains very well your condition wish all Professionals would do the same
Very informative, very friendly and I sure got the feeling she likes what she is doing . I am so glad I went to her and would highly recommend a visit.
Very friendly staff. I was seen as soon as I walked in. I've been going here for 4 years. It has always been a good experience.
Very good
Dr. Virani is very professional and so courteous. Her office staff, though, could use some improvement.
I would highly recommend Dr. Virani. She is very knowledgable and a truly caring person.
She is a great professional and was very thorough with my check up, I left her office knowing that she did all the tests necessary regarding my vision.
Very informative and helpful
I was very frustrated at the long wait. If I can make my appointment on time, I should get the same respect and be seen on time.
Very caring and informative, will return.
She is exceptional at explaining what is important and in making her patients feel comfortable - she made my day!
Dr Virani is the best my whole family goes to her and we love her! Clancy family
She is awesome! She took the time to explain everything to us and my son. I love the fact she shared the images of the eyes with us and explained what we were seeing.
Was great and quick
Very thorough exam.
Was disappointed with the 'automatic' addition of a "medical" process to what I thought was simply a very good eye examination. I feel the optician took advantage of their status and did not inform me well enough that the click of a button would result in extra costs. Those extra costs to myself where not great but who knows how much the insurance company would have to pay. This type of practice explains the high cost of health care.
Great visit as always. Everyone was very helpful, courteous and professional. Since my appointment was on a Friday, I saw Dr. Nguyen (spelling?) and I was pleased with my appointment.
Staff was both professional and friendly. Dr. was attentive, provided complete explanations in a manner that made us feel very at ease.
great experience!
She answered all my questions and she's willing to work with me in treating my other eye problems besides the usual prescription issues. Her staff are always professional and ready to help when I need something addressed.
She was very caring and took her time.
I felt she was very informative and I felt very comfortable with her. I found her honesty and helpfulness was superb. I am a nurse and I have worked with and around many doctors from different specialties and she rates with the best.
Very friendly.
Very happy with the service. Thank you.
She was very informative and took the time out to explain every detail of my visit.
She's very thorough and takes the time to explain what the issues are with your eyes.
Very professional and kind doctor. She was very thorough when explaining the eye during the appointment.

Gallery: go inside giant silos that stack new cars sky-high
A factory tour is always a popular tourist attraction. The team at the Volkswagen Group take it to a new level with the Autostadt — an attraction adjacent to their factory in Wolfsburg, Germany. While there's a lot to see, the major wow factor comes in with a peek at the two 200 foot tall glass silos that store new Volkswagens.
The silos are connected to the factory via a 2,300 foot long tunnel. When cars are finished at the factory they head for the silo and are lifted to their spot in the silo at an incredible 5 feet per second.
Why the silo? It's undeniably cool and a marvel of efficiency, but it also has a real function. In certain European countries, customers have the option to have their car delivered to their dealer or picking it up from the famous Autostadt silos. In addition to getting the VIP treatment through all the exhibits at the factory attraction they get to watch their car being plucked from its perch and retrieved via the elevator.
That means these customers take delivery of cars that have odometers set at zero — never having traveled a mile. Its journey to the customer's hands has been entirely automated.
The plans for the Autostadt show an eventual six towers. Other attractions include the factory tour, an exhibit on the evolution of roads, a view of the world's largest glass doors and a view of the world's longest printed line. The four mile long line starts outside Wolfsburg, winds through the Autostadt and ends at a point on a farm.
The Autostadt certainly sounds jam packed with fun, but after one look at the incredible photos of the inside of the silo it seems like if you are ever in Wolfsburg, that would be the best place to start your tour.

FOX Sports Takes Vizrt Technology Under the Hood for Second Time at Daytona 500
Bergen, Norway, Vizrt Ltd. (Oslo Main List: VIZ)
Vizrt Ltd announced today that FOX Sports employed Vizrt live broadcast graphics technology during its HDTV coverage of the Daytona 500 on February 27, 2012. This is the second consecutive season that the Vizrt graphics production workflow has been an integral part of The Daytona 500 telecast.
Considered one of the most prestigious races on the NASCAR calendar, the Daytona 500 is held annually at the Daytona International Speedway, Daytona Beach, FL. For this yearâs race, FOX Sports used four Viz Trio template-based, real-time 3D character generators (CG) paired with four Viz Engine 3D rendering engines for real-time compositing of graphics and video. The Viz Engines were used to generate live graphics including lower thirds, over the shoulders, full screens and the FOXBOX crawl driven by real-time data of the running order of the drivers.
âComing into the 2012 NASCAR on FOX season we wanted to make a unique visual difference, and Vizrt has helped us achieve this. We believe the Viz Artist authoring software, along with its real time 3D rendering, helped create one of the most unique analysis tools ever used in sports broadcasting,â said Zac Fields, Director of Graphics for Fox Sports.
The main set, dubbed the Hollywood Hotel, featured the Ford Tech Center, an interactive display that leveraged a Viz Trio/Viz Engine combination feeding video and graphics to a 55-inch Perceptive Pixel touch screen. NASCAR on Fox Announcer Jeff Hammond used the touch screen to explain the innovative technology and 3D car parts behind NASCAR vehicles. The Vizrt scene included over 2 million polygons running in real time on an Nvidia Quadro 6000 graphics card. Click on the link below to see the interactive display in action:
âWeâre thrilled that FOX Sports has once again demonstrated confidence in our live graphics technology, and weâre delighted to be a part of an event that NASCAR fans wait for all year,â said Petter Ole Jakobsen, CTO of Vizrt. âThe talented designers at Fox Sports have really taken full advantage of the Viz Engines capabilities by designing scenes that are both engaging and very functional. We look forward to a long and rewarding relationship with FOX Sports and to continuing to provide a reliable, creative 3D HD graphics workflow that enhances their live sports coverage.â
About Vizrt:
Vizrt provides real-time 3D graphics and asset management tools for the broadcast industry and media houses â from award-winning animations & maps to online publishing tools.

hi i lost my baby at 20 weeks due to an incompent cervix. I am pregnant again now an i have a cerclage in, my doctor set up the procedure and i was on bed rest for a week after it was done, now i am fine. The doctor will check your cerclage and your cervix and then take out the stiches most likly around 36 weeks.posted 11/13/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
I lost my baby at 23 weeks old, and my doctor said it was due to an incompetent cervix. I am now pregnant again, 14 weeks and I just had a cerclage done 2 days ago. I had a spinal epidural to numb my lower area, and the doc sort of tied the upper area of the cervix with a thin, material so it wouldn't open early. I had no pain during, and after the procedure. Some spotting and tightening of my lower abs from time to time, and a really uncomfortable strict horizontal position for 24 hours. The doc put me on bedrest for 30 days, I can move to go the bathroom but that's about it. Afterward, I am supposed to get an evaluation done to see if and how I can resume my activities. Some women are on full bedrest, others resume full activities after one week... I guess it depends of the cervix, and also your doctor. But what's important is a healthy, full term baby, right?posted 12/16/2007 by Kysmeth
I had to have an emergent cerclage at 22 weeks after my cervix had already dialated to 2.5 cm and my water sac was bulging out in the vagina! At this point, the procedure is supposed to be very risky, but doctor, my husband and I decided to take the risk. I had to take epidural. The procedure went well thankfully. I believe if you have it early in pregnancy, it should be real easy and quick. After the procedure I had some pain and they gave my some pain medications which helped me well. Next day I didn't feel any pain. I had spotting for almost a week-10 days. I was put on STRICT BED REST for the rest of the pregnancy. I got checked once/week till week 34 by a perinatologist to evaluate the cervix . Now I am 37 weeks and scheduled to remove the stitch next week.posted 01/03/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
The cerclage is completely painless and took 20 minutes. I was given a spinal block and felt nothing. I came home the same day and had some minor discomfort but less painful than menstrual cramps. There was some spotting for 3 days. Make sure you take your temperature often and monitor for infection. I did not receive antibiotics prior to the surgery because the doctor did not want to harm the baby. I had it put in at 13 wks and now I am 23 wks. I went to work after 2 weeks in bed and limited my walking to a minimum, then worked from home. I just found out that my cervix started funnelling at 21 wks but the length is still 4.5cm. Im dialted 1cm and was put on a more strict bed rest and am taking weekly progesterone shots. Now it's basically a waiting game according to my doctors. I am glad I went through the surgery because my cervix would not have held ths long without it. My doctors agree that is what is holding the pregnancy. Expect bedrest with an I.C. Not fun but worth it.posted 02/22/2010 by ptorrez131
Many women want to get pregnant right away after a miscarriage, wanting to hurry up and move on. I felt like this after my first miscarriage. As I look back, I believe hormones had something to do with feeling that way, as well as realizing how much I actually wanted a child after being pregnant (our pregnancy was a surprise). It may be different for each person, but the body really needs to rest and sort itself out. It would not be best for your body or hormonal system to try to force your period to come early. Generally, it may take 2 weeks to 2 months for the menstrual cycle to come back & the pregnancy hormones to balance back to pre-pregnancy levels. Be gentle on yourself. Take some time to rest and focus on taking care of yourself. We are more than our physical bodies, treating yourself holistically by following the Pregnancy Blueprint e-book from http://pregnancyblueprint.net is going to greatly improve your chances of healing and conceiving and have a healthy pregnancyposted 08/21/2014 by a BabyCenter Member
I lost my baby at week 24 and i was told that i had a weak cervix. Now i'm 5 weeks pregnant and visted my Doctor who has advised me to have a cerclage at week 14 and that will be on 27/09/2011. I hope that all goes well. What are the chances that i will keep my baby up to full term? What are the chances that i will give birth normally and not by ceaserean?posted 07/28/2011 by a BabyCenter Member

I had a loss at 20 weeks. The doctor said i had I.C. But now my new doctor is saying i might not have it. I got in this Thursday to discuss my file and see whats next. I'm so scared!posted 02/22/2010 by sillykmc48
I had a previous loss at 21 weeks due to my weak cervix. I am pregant again and had a cerclage put in at 13 weeks. My dr. measured my cervix weekly and everything was well until i reached 21 weeks again, and my cervix was dialating all the way down to the stitch and a little beyond it. I was on partial bed rest and now am on strict bed rest and started taking progesterone shots weekly. I hope the stitch will hold and i can carry this baby to full term. I felt braxton hicks contractions from 16 weeks, heaviness when i walked around, and finally some watery mucus at 21 weeks before i ran to my doctor to see if anything was wrong. I also had this wierd feeling in my vagina - like a tapping or opening and closing when the baby moved-almost like pee wanted to come out. They later told me that my cervix was trying to open and luckily i had the stitch in place or i would have lost another pregnancy. The efacing and dialiting happens very quickly, so the cerclage helped.posted 02/12/2010 by ptorrez131

PHL Local Gaming Receives Endorsement Vote From South Philadelphia's Whitman Council
PHILADELPHIA, May 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- PHL Local Gaming, LLC, one of six bidders for the available gaming license in the City of Philadelphia, and one of three bidders with a South Philadelphia site, today announced that it has been notified by the board of the Whitman Council that the organization, which represents a community comprised of about 26,000 South Philadelphia residents, has voted to endorse PHL Local Gaming's bid to establish a new casino gaming facility, to be called Casino Revolution, at Front Street and Pattison Avenue, about a mile away from the residential section of the Whitman area.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130128/PH49555LOGO)
Previously, PHL has announced that it has initiated a planning process to establish a new Special Services District in its neighboring community, even prior to any final, license-related decision by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board. The District would provide services in an area that extends from Pattison to Snyder, and from 7th Street, to I-95, an area that encompasses much of the Whitman community. PHL has agreed that members of the Council will be invited to serve on the Special Services District's governing board.
In April, as an early example of how the casino operators would support the community, PHL Local Gaming contributed, and helped in planting, 12 four-foot-tall evergreen trees at the Burke Playground, at Second and Jackson Streets, in the Whitman community. PHL and the Whitman Council plan to work cooperatively on establishing the new Special Services District and in identifying a list of community services priorities in the neighborhood.According to Mark Kapczynski, President of the Whitman Council, and his fellow Whitman Board members, the organization's vote reflects the community's strong interest in union jobs and business opportunities PHL Local Gaming's casino would bring to Whitman and to the entire South Philadelphia community. "It's also a sign," he added, "of the trust we have in PHL Local's South Philadelphia-based ownership group, headed by Joseph Procacci, who also serves as CEO of Procacci Brothers Sales Corporation, in our community." " Joseph Procacci and his organization have been our neighbors for more than 60 years," Kapczynski continued. "They have employed residents of Whitman, over all of that time, and have demonstrated their commitment to our community. We wish PHL Local Gaming and Joe Procacci the best of luck with their casino bid, because it would be a win for our entire community." Kapczynski is scheduled to provide supportive testimony for the PHL Local Gaming casino at the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board's public hearings, on May 9, at Lincoln Financial Field, in South Philadelphia. Commenting on the Whitman Council decision, PHL Local Gaming CEO Joseph Procacci said," We are very committed to our Philadelphia-First vision for our proposed casino. As we've said, earlier, we will measure our success, not only by the vitality of our gaming-related activities, but also by how much in the way of economic benefits we can create for our neighbors and for Philadelphia-area residents. We look forward to working with the residents of Whitman, and with the Board members of Whitman Council, as we complete the bidding process." If successful in its bid for the available casino management license in Philadelphia, PHL Local Gaming, LLC plans to open "Casino Revolution," a $428 million, four-star quality, "destination-caliber," 250-room hotel and gaming facility. The casino will offer 2400 slots, 105 table games, a steak house, a coffee/espresso bar, an Italian restaurant, a 300-seat buffet, a 156-seat cafe and a covered, 1600-car garage. Given its unique location, as part of the 25-acre Procacci Brothers Sales complex, PHL Local Gaming has said it has the ability, if selected, to open its casino a full six months prior to any of the other six bidders, and to generate, in the process, 600 early jobs and $51.9 million in early city and state revenues.

text: Looking for an elegant solution to controlling your Auxiliary lights and other devices? Fog lights, off road driving lights, radio circuits, and any other high power device requires it's own wire harness. You can't just tap into any old wire you find that has 12 Volts in it. It becomes awkward and dangerous to add another wire to the mess on the positive terminal of the battery every time you add a new device. There are fuse blocks available from Blue Sea and others, but if you also have a relay in your Aux circuit, where do you put that? With quality parts from major vendors, I have developed a weather resistant fuse/relay panel that can be mounted on top of a wheel well or on the inner fender wall in the engine compartment, and will serve as a central hub for 5 relay switched Aux circuits and up to 5 always on fused Aux circuits. You run only one wire to the battery and with your switches and wires, you can control up to 10 Aux devices (5 switched and up to 5 fused). My Aux Panel can greatly simplify your wiring. There are only two color coded wires for each relay--a skinny wire and a fat wire. The fat wire is the wire you connect to your device. The skinny wire is the control wire and is connected to a switch that you provide. When you order, you will specify whether you want the relay to be activated when the control wire is switched to ground or when the control wire is switched to 12 volts (hot). Regardless of how the relay control is configured (switched ground or switched hot), 12 Volts is supplied to the fat wire of the same color (or shade thereof) when the relay is activated. That's all there is to it. Using my Aux fuse/relay panel will take the complexity out of wiring your aftermarket devices. See post # 11 in this thread for schematics and further discussion of the switched ground and switched hot option. http://forum.ih8mud.com/merchandise-storefront/352802-auxiliary-fuse-relay-panel.html#post5240849 The main power lead is a 10 gauge 36 inch wire that is protected by a fusible link. Please specify if you will need to locate the fuse/relay block farther than 36 inches from the battery. Mounted on the brackets, the relay module is 5 inches tall, and at the base of the mount brackets, it is 7 inches by 3.5 inches. So a good way to test for fitment is to cut a 7 inch long piece of 2X4 and use that as a model. The main power lead can be lengthened up to 10 feet total length for an additional $10. Each individual Aux relay circuit is protected by a 30 amp fuse and each non-switched wire is protected by a 15 amp fuse. The total simultaneous load on the relay/fuse module should not exceed about 60 amps. UPDATE Aug 2014. I was contacted by a 4X4 shop to build them some Auxiliary Relay panels with 10 relays instead of just five. Apparently he couldn't sell as many as he thought, and I have 3 of these available. These are pretty big with lots of circuits. The going price is $190. I've included a pic of the 10 amp panel below. If there is a massive interest in the 10 relay panels then I may continue to build them. Bussmann does not make mounting brackets for these guys, so you will have to fab them. There are 10 switched circuits (relays) and 10 non-switched circuits fused at 15 amps. So, if you are doing an engine swap or just need a ton of new circuits, this may be for you. It's rated at 200 amps.

Editorial Reviews: Synopsis"Everyone is blessed with One Special Thing," says Eddie Adams, who is endowed with a rather stunning piece of equipment that enables him to become a shining star in the world of adult entertainment. Deprived of love and respect by his family, Eddie--renaming himself Dirk Diggler--conquers the world of porn while keeping his innocence intact. As the turbulent Seventies become the hedonistic Eighties, Dirk's career goes into a tailspin--but he is rescued by the safety net of the extended family created by hard-core film director Jack Horner.Paul Thomas Anderson's screenplay for Boogie Nights is exemplary in its ability to interweave the multiple character strands into a culminating narrative. Like the Roman dramatist Terence, who said that "nothing human is alien to me," Anderson has taken on what is regarded as one of the sleaziest sides of life and infused it with an aching humanity.

Starting Items
- Hunter's Machete
- Health Potion
- Warding Totem (Trinket)
Hunter's Machete is a crucial item for almost every jungler. The increased clear time, sustain, and build path into the Spirit Stone items is better than what any other starting item could give. The health potions will help you to sustain up through your path until you gank, and the warding totem will help protect your jungle entrances or keep tabs on the enemy jungler.
Core Items
- Spirit of the Ancient Golem
- Mercury's Treads
- Randuin's Omen
- Greater Totem (Trinket)
Spirit of the Ancient Golem is a staple on any initiator in the jungle because of the health and cooldown reduction. Combine this with Mercury's Treads and you'll survive most mid-game encounters. Ninja Tabi can replace Mercury's Treads against heavy AD teams but keep in mind that now that Spirit of the Ancient Golem no longer gives Tenacity, it is advised to get it from Mercury's Treads. Randuin's Omen will help with your initiates due to its active.
Endgame Items
- Spirit of the Ancient Golem
- Mercury's Treads
- Randuin's Omen
- Banshee's Veil
- The Black Cleaver
- Thornmail
- Greater Stealth Totem (Trinket)
Banshee's Veil: Good passive and stats.
Black Cleaver: Synergizes well with your Q and the extra 10% CDR helps aswell.
Thornmail: Perfect item against AD champs late game. Also your last item is always situational.

Blaine, Tenn. -- A missing 5 year-old girl was found in the trunk of a car.
Grainger County Sheriff's Deputies were dispatched around 5:30 the child's home. While en-route, police learned the child had been found locked inside the trunk of a car.
The mother, Katrina Woodby, said the child had been missing since 4:00.
The Deputy got the child out, and said she was bright red and hot to the touch, covered in perspiration.
Sheriff Scott Layel said, "This could have been such a tragedy. Grainger County deputies quick response in the search and getting EMS treatment probably saved this child from suffocation or heat stroke. The temperature inside the trunk was well over 100 degrees."
The child was taken to Children's Hospital in Knoxville. Katrina Woodby is charged with Child Neglect and Abuse, but has been released on bond.
DCS is investigating.

I experienced something of the same sense when I recently visited Bletchley Park, Britain's code-breaking centre during World-War II, with a main purpose of finding out more about Alan Turing, who worked there throughout the War. As a vacation job (in 1960, I think, when I was an undergraduate) I worked at the National Physical Laboratory, where Alan Turing had worked after the War. I assisted in programming one of the world's first computers, the Turing-designed Automatic Computing Engine (ACE). The person whom I was assisting was writing a program to do cross correlation in a tracking task: now just a few lines of code but then, in ACE machine code, it needed an elaborate arrangement of ones and zeros and weeks of debugging. My first job after I got my PhD was again at the National Physical Laboratory, and it was then that I came across Turing's work on the foundations of artificial intelligence. The work that he did at Bletchley Park during the War, to decipher messages sent by the German Enigma machines, was among the most important contributions any individual made to the Allied cause. It fascinated me. In the hut that had been converted to an entrance to Bletchley Park, I found tears coming to my eyes, an indication of being in the presence of something larger than my own day-to-day concerns, and again an indication of the something that can seem missing from purely narrative accounts.
Being at Bletchley Park afforded me another episode of, "So it really happened." The whole place was much larger than I had imagined, with not just a few huts, but many. By 1945 there were 9000 people working there on decipherment, 75% of them women and all, until recently, keeping the secret of their wartime work for decades afterwards. And there, too, at Bletchley as well as reconstructions of the machines that he helped to develop, is a narrative of Turing's contributions, as well as a fine statue of him by Stephen Kettle.
Although it's wonderful to see the reconstructed computing machines at Bletchley Park, the narrative explanations of what they did could, I thought, have been better. One principle that could have been explained (which I was able to bring with me on my pilgrimage there) was fundamental to the decipherment processes at Bletchley Park, and later became central to cognitive science (the discipline on which our work on fiction is based). It is that of making conceptual models then systematically searching the space of possibilities the models can generate, and then working out how to reduce the search space. Turing and his colleagues built conceptual models of the Enigma machines (and other coding machines used by the Germans) and then for each coded message, used the high speed machines they had built to search through settings of their conceptual models to find possibilities consistent with the structure of the German language, and with topics about which messages were sent. Nowadays, if we talk of fiction as a kind of simulation, it's again as a conceptual model, with fiction enabling us humans to search through the possibilities of lives we can live mentally by identifying with literary characters.
But is there still a more personal part that can go missing? Erasmus wrote about pilgrims who went to visit the shrines of saints (I paraphrase): "Why do they make these elaborate journeys? Why don't they read what the saints have written?" There are, I think, two answers. The first is that until Gutenberg's invention of the European printing press, and until Erasmus himself started to make knowledge widely available in printed books, almost no-one could read. The second, perhaps, is the sense of being there, that I experienced at the grave of Proust, and in the huts of Bletchley Park.

speckytecky (3rd April 2009)
Just wanted to know what is the best method to migrate from a Windows 2000 Server to Windows Server 2008. Current Sever Roles are Domain Controller / Active directory / Network shares / DNS / DHCP / Print Server. Were planning to buy a HP Proliant ML370. Does anyone have any suggestions please?
I think the best way is to install Windows Server 2008 on the new server and promote that one to a Domain Controller, but on the Windows 2000 function level (i.e. don't change it to the 2008 function level!)
You can then gradually move each role over from the 2000 server to the new server.
Only once all is well with the new server, say for about a month or so, then retire the old server as a domain controller and shut down the old server.

One of my favorite things about late December is the Year in Pictures post that MSNBC does on their website. You can find them here, and I encourage you to check them out. There are actually several such posts on various websites around the world, and I enjoy everyone I see. I could sit and look at those pictures all day long, studying the composition and the lighting and trying to figure out what shutter speed the photographer was using or more importantly, what was going through her mind as she snapped the shot. So many of them are graphic and emotional, capturing a significant moment in history involving a war or a natural disaster. I can't help but imagine what it would be like to be standing behind the lens at that exact moment. To personally witness such a spectacular moment, and as soon as I snapped the frame, know that I had just captured an important glimpse of mankind's triumphs or failures.
In fact, I think about it often. I dream about traveling the world and photographing its people. Not posed pictures with special lighting or effects. Just honest pictures of everyday people in their natural settings. Children in Africa. Dancers in Bali. The women of Afghanistan, and fishermen off the coast of Italy. Oh, I'd also want to capture the sights and sounds of exotic places. Sunrises in Tibet. The blocks in the Great Wall of China. Whales off the coast of Alaska. The Eiffel Tower in the snow. But it's mostly people I crave to capture with the lens. The people of the world.
They say the difference between people who dream and people who make those dreams come true is a plan of action. I believe that. I dreamed of seeing the Eiffel Tower and the streets of London, and I made that happen with a plan this past summer. I'm not sure how I'm going to find the money to travel the world and take pictures when I retire, but I'm working on a plan, brothers and sisters. I'm working on a plan. In the meantime, I'm honing my skills, looking at other people's pictures. And dreaming. Always dreaming.
