A pleural effusion is a build-up of fluid in the space between the lungs and the chest wall. This space is called the pleural space. Thoracentesis is a procedure to remove fluid from this area.
There are two types of thoracentesis:
- Therapeutic thoracentesis—to relieve the symptoms of fluid accumulation
- Diagnostic thoracentesis—to test for the cause of the fluid build-up
Reasons for Procedure
There is always a small amount of fluid in the pleural space. The fluid helps to lubricate the area. When too much fluid builds up in this space, it can make it difficult to breathe.
Your doctor may want to test some of the fluid after removing it. The build-up of fluid can be a symptom of diseases or disorders, such as:
- Congestive heart failure (CHF)
- Lung infections
- Kidney disease
- Pulmonary embolism—a clot that travels to the lung
- Cancer
- Collagen vascular disease like sarcoidosis or lupus
- Liver disease
- Pancreatitis
- Asbestos exposure
Possible Complications
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have a thoracentesis, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
- A collapsed lung
- Fluid building up again
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Damage to the lung, liver or spleen
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Your doctor may order:
A local anesthetic will be used. It will numb the area where the needle will be inserted.
Description of the Procedure
You may be asked to sit upright on the edge of a bed or chair. Your arms will be resting on a nearby table. If your procedure involves a CT scan, you may be asked to lie on a table. Try to avoid coughing, breathing deeply, or moving during the procedure.
A small patch of skin on your back, chest, or under your armpit will be sterilized. Anesthesia will be applied to this patch. It will help numb the area.
The doctor may use ultrasound or CT scan images to guide the needle and monitor the fluid. A needle or thin plastic catheter will be inserted between your ribs. The needle or catheter is then passed into the pleural space. Some or all of the fluid will be drawn into the syringe.
How Long Will It Take?
About 15 minutes
Will It Hurt?
You may feel slight pain or a stinging when the needle is first inserted. As the fluid is being extracted, you may feel a sense of pulling. Tell your doctor or nurse if you feel extreme pain, any shortness of breath, or faint.
Post-procedure Care
If the thoracentesis is being done for diagnostic reasons, the fluid will be sent to a lab for testing. Often, another chest x-ray will be done to ensure that the fluid has been removed and that there is no sign of a collapsed lung.
The doctor may begin treatment for the cause of the fluid build-up.
Keep the area of skin where the needle was inserted clean and dry. To help make your recovery smooth, be sure to follow your doctor's instructions .
If a diagnostic thoracentesis was done, ask your doctor when to expect the results.
Call Your Doctor
After arriving home, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or any discharge from the insertion site
- Pain that you cannot control with the medicines you have been given
- Cough, shortness of breath, or chest pain
- Coughing up blood
- Pain when taking a deep breath
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

I haven't had much luck with flavored non-fat Greek yogurt, but given my success with yogurts of the low-fat variety, I decided to try again. Chobani brand was on sale for just $1.39 per container at Fairway, a bargain price for Greek yogurt, so I decided to experiment with a new flavor. I found it particularly interesting that the brand offers only one fruit-flavored low-fat yogurt, so I decided to try Chobani Low-fat Pineapple Yogurt.
Upon opening the container I found a thick (but slightly thinner than Fage 2%) yogurt with streaks of pineapple. Most of the good stuff was at the bottom, and I stirred it up, taking in the aroma. Normally I'm not a huge pineapple fan, but I like it better in products than by itself (strange, I know). I spooned up some yogurt and tasted, finding it to be delicious. I've come to the conclusion that a little bit of fat makes a huge difference when it comes to the taste of Greek yogurt. This yogurt was incredibly creamy, and the pineapple flavoring wasn't too sweet at all .
Each container of Chobani Low-fat Pineapple Yogurt provides 160 calories, 2.5 grams of total fat, 2 grams of which is saturated (4% and 10% of the daily value), 65 mg sodium (3% of the DV), 13 grams of protein and 21 grams of carbohydrates which includes 18 grams of sugar (but no fiber). There is also 15% of daily recommendations for calcium. The ingredients list includes pineapple (and pineapple concentrate) plus evaporated cane juice as the sweetener.
I ate this as a desert which makes the nutrition facts not so bad - it's not the lowest calorie yogurt choice though. This may just be my new favorite flavored low-fat yogurt - give it a try for a tropical treat. I will also probably try freezing it too for a more ice cream-like texture .

Augmentation pressure (AP) is the contribution that pressure wave reflection makes to systolic arterial pressure and it is an indirect measure of arterial stiffness. We hypothesized that there is a relationship between AP and LDL cholesterol levels in normotensive individuals. The objectives of the study were to compare AP between normotensive subjects with LDL ≥130 mg/dl vs. <130 mg/dl and to examine the relationship between LDL and AP.
Methods: We recruited 53 healthy individuals (including 35F mean age 62±3). Patients with established heart disease or hypertension were excluded. Pressure waveforms were recorded from the radial artery and corresponding central waveforms were generated using validated transfer function (SphygmoCor System software, AtCor Medical, Inc.). Augmentation pressure was derived from the central pressure waveforms. Fasting lipid levels were also measured. Subjects were subdivided into 2 groups: (A) those with LDL less than 130 and (B) those with LDL greater than 130
Results: Group A comprised 33 subjects with mean LDL of 101 ±19 and group B comprised 20 subjects with mean LDL of 145±11. Mean AP was significantly less in group A than B (6± 4 Vs. 8± 6, p =0.02). In addition, we found a significant linear relationship between LDL and AP (R= 0.3, p= 0.04) (see figure below)
Conclusion: Augmentation pressures are significantly higher in subjects with LDL >130 mg/dl than in those with LDL < 130 mg/dl suggestive of higher vascular stiffness in the former. In addition augmentation pressure correlates linearly with serum LDL cholesterol levels.

MORRISSEY: It's important for Marc Trestman not to treat Jay Cutler like a star
BY RICK MORRISSEY firstname.lastname@example.com January 16, 2013 11:41PM
Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler, center, reacts as he sits on the bench after getting injured during the second half of an NFL football game against the Minnesota Vikings Sunday, Dec. 9, 2012, in Minneapolis. (AP Photo/Andy King)
Updated: February 19, 2013 2:20PM
Phil Emery seemed to list about 100 things a candidate needed to have if he wanted to be the Bears' next coach. Good communication skills. Great
leadership ability. Forward
thinking on the offensive side of the ball. And on and on. A king's butler isn't as meticulous as Emery is.
But there's one requirement the general manager didn't mention to the media that I hope he mentioned to new Bears coach Marc Trestman during their reported eight-hour interview:
''The new coach must not treat Jay Cutler like a star.''
There's going to be a lot made of Trestman's Canadian Football League background, with critics jumping on the fact the Bears had to go to Montreal to find a coach.
I don't care if the guy is from the Baltic Lingerie League. All I care about is that he finds a way to turn a mediocre quarterback into a good one. I hope we will come to know Trestman as Iron Marc, the man who didn't put up with Cutler's churlishness and made him into a real player.
The first thing he needs to do is stop treating Cutler as though he's something special. He isn't.
Now, I know Trestman is ridiculously thorough and probably knows, from breaking down tape of PBS' ''Nova,'' that there are more stars in the universe than there are grains of sand on earth. So if you go by that, then, yeah, Cutler's a star.
But he's not an NFL star. He's a quarterback who should feel lucky he has a chance to prove more than what he has proved so far in Chicago. Can he become a great player? I don't know, and the Bears and Trestman will say the same thing if they're honest with themselves. If they watched the playoffs last weekend, they have to know Cutler isn't in the same league as Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, Peyton Manning, Matt Ryan, Colin Kaepernick or even Joe Flacco.
When it comes to Cutler the last four years, there rarely has been a discouraging word heard coming from Halas Hall. If Gabe Carimi could protect Cutler the way Lovie Smith did, the Bears wouldn't have offensive-line problems.
So here comes Trestman, who has a history of making quarterbacks better, from Steve Young to Scott Mitchell. He worked with Cutler when he was preparing for the NFL combine out of Vanderbilt. In other words, he has seen Cutler at his best, doing drills that show off his physical skills.
I'm worried that in hiring Trestman, Emery is giving in to the idea that the coach has to have a special relationship with Cutler; i.e., that he has to be sensitive to every one of Cutler's mood swings. That's the last thing Cutler needs. He needs somebody to tell him that, yes, he has been blessed with talent but that little in his career reflects it.
He needs help with his mechanics, his decision-making and his attitude. He also needs an offensive line, but that's for Emery to worry about.
The Bears have invested a lot of money in Cutler, and I'm sure they're thinking that, at this point, they can't find anyone better. But he hasn't improved as a quarterback here.
''I'll say the same thing that I said this summer: I see Jay as a franchise quarterback,'' Emery said the day after firing Smith. ''We've got to build around him. That's been the goal from the beginning — to build around Jay and to build our team toward championships.''
Emery did say it was important that the next coach be able to work with Cutler. Enter Trestman, who beat out Colts offensive coordinator Bruce Arians and Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell for the job.
''Jay being our quarterback and that being a franchise position in terms of importance, it's very important that that person — either himself or staff-wise — has the right person to help Jay develop,'' Emery said. ''But it's also that they help everyone develop.''
In other words, Cutler is no different than anybody else on the team. I hope Emery really meant that. I hope Trestman does, too. The future is riding on it.

Best "Suck it, haters" Taylor Swift moment ever: So not only did George Strait, Keith Urban, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Brad Paisley, and Rascal Flatts — all people for whom Swift opened at the start of her career — come out onstage to present the 23-year-old with the Pinnacle Award, there was also a video including kind messages from Mick Jagger, Justin Timberlake, Carly Simon, Julia Roberts, and Ethel Kennedy, among others. Watch it below. It's might have been the best acceptance speech of Swift's career, as she paid respect to each of the artists onstage with her. READ FULL STORY

Tinley Park police chief wants consultant for Lane Bryant
By Janet Lundquist email@example.com February 23, 2013 12:53PM
A Tinley Park police car passes by the vacant former Lane Bryant store. | File photo

Updated: March 25, 2013 6:55AM
Five years after a gunman killed five women in a Tinley Park Lane Bryant store, police there still work full time trying to solve the mass murder.
They have followed up on 6,689 leads, some more than once.
"It's something that's gnawing at us, quite frankly," Mayor Ed Zabrocki said. "It's something we need to solve."
Now the village thinks it may be time for someone to take a fresh look at the case.
When Police Chief Steve Neubauer presented the department budget to village officials, he asked for money to hire a consultant to review the case. Neubauer hopes an outsider may see a new angle.
"I, and most other police officers in the country, have never dealt with a mass murder, because they're rare," Neubauer said. "It's a good time, I think, to assess what we've done up to this point and see if we can get some expert advice."
The morning of Feb. 2, 2008, a man walked into the store in the Brookside Marketplace shopping center and opened fire on six women in the store, killing five. Over the past five years, the FBI, Secret Service, South Suburban Major Crimes Task Force, Illinois State Police — even NASA — have helped with the investigation.
The village even sent investigators to London to review a new forensics tool that didn't end up being helpful in the case.
"We may very well be doing the right thing and doing all we can do," Neubauer said.
No consultant has been selected. The amount of money to be allocated to the department's budget isn't solid yet, but the village's public safety committee will recommend $10,000 for the consultant, said village Trustee Brian Maher, who chairs the committee.
"This was a terrible tragedy, a heinous murder of five innocent women in our village," Maher said. "We feel a strong obligation to do everything we can to make sure the offender is brought to justice.
The money would be set aside not only for the consultant, but also for potential lab tests on evidence that could come up, Neubauer said.
The village won't approve the overall budget until May, but officials have started meeting on each department's proposals.
Zabrocki said the consultant idea is a first for the village — but so is the Lane Bryant case.
So far, the village has spent $1.9 million on the investigation, he said.
"That's quite a bit of money," Zabrocki said. "We want to bring this thing to fruition, one way or another."
Anyone with tips about the murders is asked to contact Tinley Park police at firstname.lastname@example.com or through the tip hotline, 708-444-5394. Tipsters can remain anonymous, but anyone with information leading to an arrest may receive a $100,000 reward.

Avoid Beach Day Hair Woes With These 7 Life-Saving Products
I don't know about you, but a day at the beach never leaves me with salt-water-perfected, mermaid-esque waves. It's more of a sandy, tangled mess. Typically, things like dinner, a long car ride or sightseeing stand between me and a post-beach shower, so I keep my bag stocked with revitalizing hair products and emergency accessories.
It kind of seems ridiculous to fuss with your hair and apply any product other than sunscreen at the beach. Like, who are you trying to impress? But it's less about keeping up appearances and more about rescuing your hair from serious damage; sun, sand and salt water are not your friends.

Well, here we go again. At least our meta is doing a bit better. More league play tomorrow evening. I might even be conning someone new into playing.
Valar Midwestous: A meta for the rest of us

Alright, So for the most part, I'm still sucking at the league. Not so good. At least Carnie is sucking too. He wound up losing four games last night.
Also, we've got some new players interested in the game from the demos last night, and a couple are joining the league. Plus, Jason, the new Metagames guy is really interested in promoting and playing the game, so this is looking good. If only I didn't have to drive more than an hour to get there. *sigh*
Posted 24 November 2008 - 01:00 PM
Yeah my bad about not coming. It was Missouri State playing Arkansas, and it was amazing. We opened up our new arena, beat Arkansas, and got to rush the court, was pretty epic. I'll be home tomorrow, btw.
Posted 25 November 2008 - 12:22 PM
Coolness, we should play a league game tomorrow night.
Gonna be at Metagames this Saturday?
Glad you found the new forums, btw.
Posted 26 November 2008 - 11:34 AM
Probably not, my dad and I have had plans for months, I didn't realize we would have one the Saturday after Thanksgiving anyway
Posted 01 December 2008 - 11:49 AM
Ok, so I suppose we can report our league results here for Greg to take down for his files. Provided he looks at the new forums at least....
Sadly, it was just Jason and myself Saturday. None of the other new guys showed. Oh well, gave me a chance to learn Dominion, which totally rules and play a little Warstorm.
Will won vs Jason and took a Wolf King's Loyalists from him.
Posted 01 December 2008 - 01:17 PM
Told you man, weekend after Thanksgiving is a bad idea, should have just stayed for some CoH or CoV with me, or chocolate pie!
Posted 06 December 2008 - 08:11 PM
Hey, we had a pretty good turnout this week at least. I'm thinking those new players just totally ran off with the league cards that they were given though. Bastards.
Posted 10 December 2008 - 03:42 PM
Idk why they would, they aren't worth anything

Posted 15 December 2008 - 08:47 AM
Unless you count me (and I had to be there because I was working) we had no one show up at all this past Saturday. This makes me sad and worry about turnout for when the league starts in January (which is dependant on FFG actually accepting my application and/or contacting me in any capacity), but I still remain hopeful.
Posted 23 December 2008 - 06:46 AM
You guys still doing Valyrian league? Whats the word on the melee for 2009?
Posted 27 December 2008 - 01:20 PM
We're open to just about anything, including melee. Especially if there's enough interest for it. We're going to begin the formal league next Saturday night, so make sure you're here for it.
If you have any questions, PM me, I'm the league organizer at Meta-Games.

Hey, I take my wins where I can get them.
Btw, thanks for reminding me tonight about this thread, Papercuts. You'd really think that since I started it (and the one on the forums before this, and the ones before that) that I would remember to come participate in the dang thing. So next Saturday is the first official LCG league night?
Posted 28 December 2008 - 09:33 AM
You're welcome.
And yes, that's the plan.
Unless we don't get the League Kit, then it'll either be a warmup night or if everyone wants to just go for it, we can start and just keep track of the results until the league kit does arrive.
As for Valaryian results, I played Clinton and beat him, taking his Catlyn Stark. I do wish we'd have managed to get a game in, but there's always next week.
Posted 01 January 2009 - 02:56 PM
Just saw the posting from Fantasy Flight Games on the front page about their delay in the league sign-up process.
If you were planning on coming Saturday and playing LCG format, go ahead. Consider it a warmup night with some Valyrian Sealed mixed in. Or vice versa. We'll be formally starting now (or should I say, the plans are to formally start) on Jan. 10th.

Map & Directions
From the Airport:
Taxi: There is a taxi rank outside the arrivals hall. It will cost around �25.
Bus: Hop on the No. 747 Bus directly outside the airport and ask to be let off at Merchant's Quay. It will cost €6. He will probably let you out on Ushers Quay which is just past our hostel. When you get off the bus, turn left and walk back to the hostel past the traffic lights.
There is also a 24hr bus service, the Aircoach Express Bus, that brings you to O'Connell street for €7.
A cheaper option is the regular bus #41 or #16A which will drop you at O'Connell Street. This bus costs €2.20. You can then take the Luas (tram) from Abbey street straight down to the Four Courts stop. Cross over the river and you should see us.
Alternatively, a short walk along the river from O'Connell street will get you to us.
Walking from O'Connell Bridge:
Turn right after you cross the bridge so that the river is on your right side. Walk down along the riverside until you've passed four bridges. Once you pass the 4th bridge we'll be on your left-hand side, halfway between it and the next bridge. There is a big sign so you won't miss it.
From the Bus Station: The No. 90 will cost just €1.10, or a taxi should cost around €6. You can also take the Luas (Tram) (€1.50) and get off at The Four Courts stop.We are just across the river.
From the Train Station:The No. 90 bus runs between both Heuston and Connolly Stations and it passes right outside our door! The Tram also runs between Heuston and Connolly but you must cross the river from The Four Courts stop.
From The Dublin ferry port: Outside the Port you can get No. 53 or 53A Bus which will leave you in the city centre, a short walk from the Four Courts Hostel. If you are driving follow the signs to the city centre which will lead you to the south bank of the River Liffey, pass four traffic bridges and we are on the left!
A good option for large groups is to ask us to arrange for a private minibus to collect you and drop you at our doorstep. This costs €8 per person or €15 return trip.
Getting from the hostel back to the Airport:
Have you got a ridiculously early flight out of Dublin?
We have an Airport shuttle bus service that leaves from our hostel every hour from 3:30am - 6:30am.
Journey takes 30 minutes and costs €7 per person.
Precious sleeping time saved! Yaaahh.

I am considering selling items at a craft show next fall but I am confused about what products I am able to use without violating TOU. I will be making printed items such as greeting cards with embellishments, tags, and picture frames.
I have been gathering information about commercial use products as well as S4O and S4H but now I am even more unsure.
I have several kits I have downloaded that are CU/ S4o and S4H.
Am I able to use the papers on cardstock and print out embellishments and use them on my products to sell?
Any advice would greatly appreciated.

Whether you're a new mom or a seasoned parenting pro, breastfeeding often comes with its fair share of questions. Here are answers to some common inquiries that mothers — new and veteran — may have.
Just as when you were pregnant, it's important to eat well while you're breastfeeding, with plenty of wholesome fruits, vegetables, whole grains, protein, and calcium-rich foods. Follow the recommendations in the MyPlate food guide and you'll be well on your way to giving both you and your baby a nutritious diet.
Your diet doesn't have to be perfect. You need an estimated 300-500 extra calories per day as a breastfeeding mother. Breastfeeding might make you thirsty, so consider keeping a water bottle nearby so it's there when you need it.
Also ask your doctor if you should still take your prenatal vitamins — many doctors have women continue them during breastfeeding. To prevent problems associated with iodine deficiency, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that all lactating women take a supplement that contains 150 micrograms of iodine per day, use iodized salt in their cooking, and eat foods high in iodine, like seafood and dairy products. If you are vegan or don't eat dairy or fish, talk to your doctor about getting checked for iodine deficiency.
A breastfed baby may have an allergy or sensitivity reaction after the mother consumes certain foods or drinks (such as common food allergens like cow's milk, soy foods, wheat, corn, oats, eggs, nuts and peanuts, and fish or shellfish).
Signs of such a reaction to food can include:
If you think your baby has had a reaction to food, call your doctor and avoid eating or drinking anything your little one can't seem to tolerate. If your baby has difficulty with feeding, try to keep a journal of exactly what you eat and drink, along with any reactions your baby had, which could help both you and your doctor pinpoint what the problem food, or foods, might be.
Although extremely rare, if your child is having trouble breathing or has swelling of the face, call 911.
Every baby is different. Some moms may discover that their little ones get gassy or fussy after they eat beans, cauliflower, or broccoli, while other babies can tolerate these foods just fine. And some mothers can confirm that after they eat spicy foods, their babies don't seem to like the taste of their breast milk. Again, other babies may not mind if mom just enjoyed a bunch of red-hot chili peppers.
Just like during pregnancy, nursing moms should avoid or limit their intake of fish high in mercury, since high mercury levels can damage the developing nervous system.
Also, if you notice a pattern (of fussiness, gassiness, colicky behavior, etc.), try to keep track of exactly what you eat and how your baby reacts to it each time, then talk to your doctor. He or she may suggest not eating the food (such as dairy products, a common allergen) for a few days to see if there's any change.
When a nursing mom drinks alcohol, a small amount of it gets into her breast milk.
The amount of alcohol in breast milk depends on the amount of alcohol in the blood. It takes about 2 hours after consuming one drink for the alcohol to be metabolized and no longer be a concern for nursing. So do not give your baby fresh breast milk, from your breast or pumped for a bottle, for at least 2 hours if you've had one drink, 4 hours if you've had two drinks, and so on.
If you do plan to drink more than a few (preferably after breastfeeding's been established for about a month), you can "pump and dump" — pump your milk and then throw it away.
As with alcohol, it's best to limit the amount of caffeine you consume while breastfeeding. One or two cups of coffee a day are fine, but more than one or two servings of caffeine per day may affect your baby's mood and/or sleep.

Even before Jensen Farms was asked and agreed to issue its voluntary recall, Frontera had already identified the companies to which we marketed the Jensen Farms cantaloupe, supplied that information to health authorities, and contacted those customers. While we had no way of knowing the individual stores or final point of sale of the cantaloupes, we took action on the information we did have.
On Wednesday, Sept. 14, Jensen Farms issued a recall. In addition to the public notification via Jensen Farms' news release, Frontera again contacted customers in our database who had received Jensen Farms cantaloupe and asked that they destroy any product in their possession and also instruct their customers to do the same.
Throughout this situation, we acted as quickly as we could and in the best interest of public health, including tracking the cantaloupe to customers in our database and using multiple communications efforts to reach those customers. Still, many people have been impacted by this terrible situation, and we are deeply saddened by it.
Q3. How did traceability play into this particular recall?
Traceability was critical in assisting state health officials to quickly identify the potential contamination vehicle. Within hours of speaking with the Colorado Department of Health and the Environment, we were able to provide officials with the shipping destination of each pallet of cantaloupe marketed from Jensen Farms. This information, in turn, was helpful in the public health investigation.
Frontera Produce provided the infrastructure for the pallet-level traceability that was used in this situation. We provided computers and software so that both Jensen Farms and Frontera Produce could access the farm's inventory and tracking records for the product that we marketed. This allowed the Jensen's to assign tags to each pallet coming in from the field, scan those tags at shipping, and assign them to the customers and direct shipping destinations for tracking purposes.

Ah no honey!! You are fine!!
Its better to get highlights done than dying it though while PG. My OB told me it was ok to do so.. I got mine done and my baby girl is just fine Always CALL YOUR OB and ask.. I learned early on that the nurses and doctors have heard it all before so no question is silly, especially if you are worried about something is safe or not.. so go ahead and call to double check.
My OB told me that the highlights were better than dying your hair because its not as much and the fact that the dye never really comes into contact with your skin. I have highlights anyway, so that worked for me. I also contacted my hairstylist and asked her if it was safe as well. She said it was, AND she had the courtesty to keep a fan on me to keep the fumes away. <3 Hey..this could be your excuse to get something new done!
Men are crazy sometimes.. lol My husband was the same way, but he was there when i asked the dr and my hair stylist. I got my hair done twice when i was PG. Once at 2 months, and once at 6, I was going to get it done again right before I was due, but they kept telling me I could "go into labor at any minute" so I was terrified to be sitting there with foil in my hair and then have my water break.
i dyed my hair when i was pregnant and ended up having a really bad allergic reaction to the hair dye. this was a hair dye i had used for years so i didnt bother to do a skin test before applying to my hair. The doctor told me it was because i was pregnant and my skin had become more sensitive during pregnancy. I recommend only having highlights while your pregnant and if that isnt for you definatly do a skin test on your arm or behind your ear before applying the dye to your hair.
I agree that doctor would know best.
I did find this on the internet:
The Organization of Teratology Information Services (OTIS), which provides information on potential reproductive risks, says that animal studies are reassuring and that there are no reports of hair dye causing changes in human pregnancies, despite the fact that many women have colored their hair during pregnancy. OTIS also points out that very little of the chemicals in hair dye is actually absorbed into your system.
Hope that helps

ETSI Headquarters, Sophia Antipolis, France - 20 February 2012
ETSI has published the first release of its Machine to Machine (M2M) service standards, providing a standardized platform to manage the complexity of multiple M2M services and technologies.
Machine to Machine (M2M) communication services are already showing strong revenue growth with the number of deployments steadily increasing. Large-scale managed M2M services will become a feature of this industry, but today the technology landscape is fragmented, which discourages investment.
Leading industry players participating in ETSI's Technical Committee for Machine to Machine communications (TC M2M) have now developed a set of standards which provides a complete horizontal service layer for M2M communications.
The ETSI M2M Release 1 standards enable integration of different M2M technology choices into one managed platform. ETSI M2M Release 1 is built upon proven and mature standards from ETSI and other bodies such as the IETF, 3GPP, the Open Mobile Alliance and the Broadband Forum. The business benefits are clear: reduced complexity of M2M deployments, reduced deployment time for new M2M services, and ultimately reduced CAPEX and OPEX. The ETSI M2M standards specify architectural components including M2M devices, gateways with associated interfaces, applications, access technologies as well as the M2M Service Capabilities Layer. They also offer security, traffic scheduling, device discovery and lifecycle management features. The ETSI M2M Release 1 standards are published as a set of three specifications which are available for download from the ETSI website:
Mr. Enrico Scarrone, Telecom Italia, Chairman of ETSI TC M2M, said: "The publication of the ETSI M2M Release 1 standards marks a new milestone for the M2M industry. They unlock the potential for wide-scale deployment of M2M services and technologies, and encourage investment in new applications, which one day will bring us to a true Internet of Things."

Chrysler Sebring Prices Paid and Buying Experience
cmeng Posts: 26I don't really know what a GOOD price is. However, the best thing about CarMax is that give you a good benchmark for comparison. If you can get a better deal - and it seems that you should be able to beat Carmax - and also get the vehicle you want - congratulations on yoour new ride. It is a "top down day" here.
when asking about prices - it is almost impossible to try to compare prices when the quotes include taxes and liscenses.
Have fun with the car.

dhermesc Posts: 1I know its not a Chrysler but there is no Dodge Stratus thread. Bought it as a lease return with 11,000, most options (keyless, power drivers seat, tilt, cruise, cd, no alloy wheels or Sun roof). Has the 7/70 power train warranty and the balance of the 3/36K bumper to bumper. Car was in excellent condition, no dings or scratches. Paid $10,500 then got a $1000 trade out of a 1992 Grand Marquis that was on its last legs - cash difference $9,500. Dealer cried about not making money but he knew I'd go down the street and buy a Taurus if he couldn't meet the price. Love the car, finish problems in the paint (not slick when hand washed)? Wax might take care of it.
texasred Posts: 1This is my 2nd Sebring. Love these cars. Plan to upgrade, trade or do some serious things to this one. If I can't find a righteous deal I will probably sell this one outright. Post it here, list it with AutoTrader, all of the above? $8.5 or 9k should be a good asking range? Your thoughts would be helpful.
Kirstie_H Posts: 10,918Since most members in the Pricing discussions are talking about new vehicles, head on over to the Real-World Trade-In Values discussion and post all the details about your Sebring. Several sales professionals hang out there and can help you determine what kind of $$ you should expect for your car.
One word of advice - we don't allow buying/selling vehicles in these forums, so posting it here isn't an option. Good luck!

Speaking of prices...any of you experts out there tell me what I should expect to walk out the door, TT&T for a 2002-2004 LX or LXi? I have seen prices all over the map. From 18500 down to 15,300 (2002 with 44K). Any help would be greatly appreciated. :shades:

guru3 Posts: 1Hi Carman,
I am looking to lease the 07 sebring touring. I have EC# and the follwing is the quote from the dealer.
With zero down for a 36 month 12000 miles/year lease, I have been offered a lease of $308/month for sign in and drive.
What do you think about this deal. Is this a good deal. Regards -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi guru3. If you are able to purchase this car through DaimlerChrysler's employee purchase program, then you are getting a good deal on it. The monthly payment that you mentioned definitely looks attractive to me. I would be happy to crunch some numbers and double check the payment that you were quoted for you if you let me know what this car's selling price is.

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Here's the information that you're looking for, Addi. Chrysler Financial's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 24 month lease of a 2007 Chrysler Sebring Limited 4-cylinder Sedan with 12,000 miles per year are .00284 and 59%, respectively. This car's 36 month lease program is a little more attractive at .00227 and 53%. As an added bonus, if you currently own a non-DaimlerChrysler product, there is a $1,000 conquest cash incentive on this car that will help you to negotiate an attractive capitalized cost for your lease.

any idea what i can expect to pay for a 30-36 mo lease (12k miles).
i also may trade in her pontiac sunfire which i am told i can probably expect around $5500 as trade in value.
The other possibility is a liberty limited. Any advice would help!! -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi thibaud. I am sorry to hear that you are so unhappy with your car. Unfortunately, it is usually fairly expensive to get out of leases well before their scheduled end dates. In order to do so, you need to purchase the vehicle that you are currently leasing from the bank that you are leasing it through. It often turns out that it costs more to do so than your vehicle is worth on the open market. Furthermore, many banks expect consumers who end their leases early to still make all, or at least the depreciation portion of their remaining lease payments. As you can see, this can get very expensive.
You can determine approximately how much it will cost you to get out of your current lease by comparing its purchase price to its value on the open market at this time. You should place a call to the bank that you are leasing your vehicle through to find out its exact price. Once you know exactly how much money it is going to cost you to buy your leased vehicle you need to compare it to its current value on the open market. You can find out approximately what your vehicle is worth by looking up its Edmunds.com True Market Value in the Used Vehicle Pricing section of this site. You also may want to stop by the following discussion: "Real-World Trade-In Values". Don't forget to check to see if you are still on the hook for your remaining lease payments. The difference between your leased vehicle's current value and how much it will cost you to buy it plus any remaining lease payments that you are obligated to pay will equal the cost of getting out of your lease right now. You may find that you are better off waiting until you are closer to the scheduled end of your lease to get another new vehicle.

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi smo1345. Do you know what selling price you are entitled to get on this car? If you let me know what the selling price is, I can use it to calculate what your monthly payment would be if you were to lease it.
I see that you are considering trading in your current car when you lease your new Sebring. There's nothing wrong with trading in a vehicle when leasing, but it would be in your best interest to have the dealer that you are working with cut you a check for your trade rather than using the proceeds from it as a down payment for your lease. I always advise consumers against making large down payments on leased vehicles because those who do risk losing all or part of their money if their vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered.

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi smiller685. This vehicle's lease program varies slightly by region. If you let me know where you are, I can double check that this is the program that is available in your area. Also, you never mentioned how long you want to lease for or what mileage allowance you need. For now I will assume that you are interested in a 36 month lease with 15,000 miles per year. Let me know if you want something different. In most of the country, Chrysler Financial's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible Touring with 15,000 miles per year are .00224 and 49%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of an '08 Sebring Convertible Limited are .00239 and 51%.
When negotiating your lease on this car, make sure to take advantage of the $1,000 lease cash and $500 bonus cash that DaimlerChrysler is currently providing on it. They will help you to negotiate an attractive capitalized cost for your lease.

rh7036 Posts: 2Hello,
My lease on a 2004 sebring sedan is ending, and I'm considering purchasing the car. It has about 26,000 miles on it, with a sunroof, heated driver's seat, and leather interior. My residual value is listed at 8,400. Does this seem like a good buy?
The only possible negative is that the car was in an accident in May, and while the car was repaired by a dealer site and seems fine, I'm a little concerned about potential long term effects. It was a rear side passenger impact, and the frame did need to be tweaked to get the correct allignment. Should I think twice about purchasing after this kind of accident? Thanks! -

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hello rh7036. I am not personally all that familiar with what the market is like for used Sebrings right now, but you may be able to get an idea if the purchase option price for your leased car is reasonable by looking up its Edmunds.com True Market Value in the Used Vehicle Pricing section of this site. You also may want to stop by the following discussion: "Real-World Trade-In Values".
Regardless of how good a price this is, you definitely should place a call to Chrysler Financial, or whichever bank you are leasing your car through, to see if they are willing to negotiate your car's purchase price. More often than not banks are not willing to do so, but sometimes they will and you don't have anything to lose by trying. If your initial contact at the bank is unwilling to work with you, try speaking with a manager.
Having said all of this, I just read that your car was in an accident. I personally would never purchase a leased vehicle that has been in an accident. One of the beautiful things about leasing is as long as your car was repaired properly, you can walk away from a vehicle that has been in an accident and force the bank that you are leasing through to absorb the diminished value rather than taking the it yourself.

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hello princessgoodie. I see that you are considering making a $5,000 down payment on your lease. I always advise consumers against making large down payments on leased vehicles. Those who make them risk losing part or all of them if their car or truck is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered. You would be much better off keeping the five grand in the bank and going with a zero down lease.
It is difficult for me to evaluate this deal without knowing what this car's MSRP is. The MSRP will show me how much of a discount you are being given on it. Let me know what this number is and I will be happy to tell you what I think of the deal that you were quoted.

Natural Classic Adirondack Chair
Don't hesitate, buy this chair.
The Chair and Stool were very easy to assemble, most of the work is done already. I had them both built in 20 minutes. I bought the natural version and on reading the recomendations applied a light mineral oil to help protect the finish against the elements. This had the added bonus of bringing out the beautiful grain in the wood on what I though was already a great looking chair. PS: VERY COMFORTABLE.
March 21, 2012
I would buy this product again and again
I love this chair. It is soooo comfortable and fits me better than any chair I have.
May 24, 2011
Slim Design and Comfortable
I have a pair of these chairs both with stools and side tables and we love them. Great space for reading and relaxing outside. The only drawback to the Natural wood stain is that they must be oiled IMMEDIATELY after purchase and you will need to oil more than once each season. If the painted colors are an option for you, the maintenance would probably be much easier.

So far so good....
I love the look of these chairs! I put two chairs together myself and had no problem. We live in Wisconsin so they have not been outside yet. I do plan on sealing them before putting them on the patio in spring. Very comfortable, so I hope they last!
March 4, 2011
Nice addition
I think these chairs are extremely well made for the price. I put them together myself, 2 chairs and 2 footstools in about 45 minutes. Everything went together perfectly! Its a perfect addition to our backyard to have a little extra seating next to the pool. The hardest part was picking a color!
March 23, 2010
Love the Chairs but had some issues
I purchased two of these chairs to go on my side porch. They are gorgeous. On the down side, half-way through the assembly process I found that one of the arms was pre-assembled incorrectly: all pre-installed hardware was missing and one of the parts had been attached backwards. Returning it was a headache as they wanted me to bring in the ENTIRE chair. Instead I bought in just the piece and after about 10 minutes of reasoning, I had a new piece. Aside from that, I love my chairs!
June 26, 2009
great chairs
so far they are great chairs. Comfortable to sit in an very attractive. A little light weight, we have pretty strong winds at our house and they move around a lot.

UN agencies helping to care for the millions driven from their homes in Syria by two years of conflict warned that they face 'impossible' choices as funding fails to meet soaring needs.

text: Depending on your point of view some of you might have viewed Sunday's 10 run first inning, the Craig Counsell grand slam and the Brewers somehow holding onto that lead for the win to avoid the sweep as miracles. The way the starting pitching has looked to start the season I wouldn't blame you. How is it that the Cardinals and Mets can combine for 30 scoreless innings and the Brewers as a whole can't combine for like, two? Isn't that weird? Doesn't that suck? I don't want to talk about it. I want to talk about miracles. They happen everyday, you know. Read the rest of this entry »

The department recently purchased five vehicles from the Missouri Highway Patrol in Jefferson, Mo., and saved the county over $77,000.
After 54,000-55,000 miles the Missouri Highway Patrol removes patrol vehicles from the road and allows other agencies to purchase them at a discounted price.
According to Williams, he believed the low price of the vehicles was a win-win situation for the Bolivar County Sheriff Department and Bolivar County.
"Sheriff Williams brought the idea to us and he was successful in retrieving the cars. "We really appreciate all of the hard work and persistence that he put into finding new vehicles," said Supervisor James McBride.
According to Williams, Sheriff Bill Rasco of DeSoto County alerted him about the vehicles.
"He informed me that he has been purchasing cars from the Missouri Highway Patrol and that the vehicles were in great shape," added Williams.
"In our proposed budget for this year we asked for $162,300 for new vehicles. This amount included money for the uplift package, which includes light bars and cages; it also included the decals for all vehicles. However by purchasing these vehicles for approximately $85,250, with most of the light bars and some with push bumpers, the county was able to save over $77,000, " said Williams.
Sheriff Williams plans to devote some of the money that he saved the county towards the improvement of the sheriff department's investigative team.
"All of the recent crimes have been very disturbing to me. As the sheriff, I plan to be more aggressive in preventing and solving crimes. I truly feel that a stronger investigative team will aid the citizens of Bolivar County. My first priority is to ensure the safety of the citizens," added Williams.

Nathan Brown: Arab Democratic Movements
September 3, 2009 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Geoffrey Cook, Muslim Media News Service (MMNS)
Today is a hot (unusually muggy day from a hurricane a [thousand miles south] off the Pacific Coast of Mexico). I am looking back to a discussion documented in my notebooks in Berkeley with Nathan Brown and Mohammed Hafez–Brown is not Muslim, but he is a great scholar of Islam. Professor Brown spoke to those present on understanding Islamicist politics and their electoral opposition to the often corrupt parties in power in their nation states.
Islamist Arab Parties – especially in Egypt – have had great successes in elections, but they almost never win.
Mainstream "democracy" is manipulated by Arab leaders. This is why Islamist Parties mostly refuse to take part in elections and often react violently by resisting against their rulers and their pseudo-"Parliaments." On the other hand, examples can be had in the victory of the Islamic Parties in Algeria which the Party in power refused to recognize the results leading to a protracted civil war. Another instance can be found in the Gaza 2006 election that Jimmy Carter and his observation team described as the fairest that they had ever witnessed, but both Israel and the United States and Egypt refused to recognize!
Outside the Islamic world political Islamicism is equated with Nazism, but "It is more like [European] 'Christian' Democracy in that it, too, makes a religious reference to its politics." The slogan of the Muslim Brotherhood is "Be prepared!" which resonates from the Koran itself, and is on the visual crest of the Party. The Brotherhood began as a secular movement to help individuals to become better Muslims, but later its philosophy flowed into politics.
Dr. Brown maintained that "Elections in the Middle East have predicable results, but uncertain rules." For the most part they are designed for the government to win. Those Islamists who contend find it advantageous for them (see my article on Da'wa and Democratic Politics in a back issue of this publication) although they are "not recognized as a full political party" by the establishment. Yet they are able to weather a harsh political climate.
They are "highly ideological, and enforce their principles;" so, that they "will not rupture into discordant fissures although debate and schism has arisen over minute issues."
Hard decisions have to be made over elections. Elections can raise the primacy of politics over religion which is always a concern amongst devout people.

Solid V Neck Back Dress
Great dress, nice quality.
I love this dress. Form fitting and open in the right spots. I'm very muscular so the racer-back works well for my figure.
I gave if 4 stars because of the color; more of a mustard than bright yellow.
November 11, 2013
Cute dress
I got xs and still tad large . Larger than other xs dress I normally buy. Need to go one size lower in this dress. Nice material , not thin , very good quality . Just dissapointed size is tad larger than normal.
October 21, 2013
Super sexy little dress
Dress is great! Not thin material at all; it's actually lined and better quality than I've seen from bebe in a while, and for once the dress isn't too short. I'm 5'6" and it hits at about mid thigh. Very flattering and look great on girls with curves.
August 6, 2013
This dress is fabulous!
I absolutely loved this dress! I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about it considering I cannot wear a bra with it, but LOVED it! It is such a bright summer color and fits nicely. Overall I would definitely recommend this dress.
August 5, 2013
I like the fabric. Disagree with other reviewer.
I saw this dress in the bebe store. I really like the material, even though you suggest it's thin. Thin fabric does not mean poor quality. For summer season in Texas and the south I really prefer my dress material on the thinner side because it gives more and it is cooler. I ran my hands over the fabric in the store. I did not try on the dress, but probably will be ordering one online or go back to the store. I really like the style of dress for mhyself. I am thin and work hard to stay thin, so honestly, I can take a thinner fabric to show my shape. I respect, however, that each of us likes different types of fabric, stretch, and design, bur for myself I like this dress.
July 22, 2013
the quality of the dress is very disappointing. its cheap and very thin

April 15, 1918 Dear Sir I was so sorry for you and all when I heard that you had to come back without taking your vacation, but the circumstances were so that all men were needed. We also have lived some hours of great anxiety, but now the Boches have miss their chances and we all feel that we can have perfect confidence in our army and allies. I am so proud of my two countries. French soldiers are so brave and my dear America is already so well admired. I have perfect confidence in such lovely people as Americans are and I know American soldiers will be just as brave as the bravest one. I certainly hope to see you whenever you can come to Paris. Take good care of yourself and please take care also of your nice friend Mr. Crawford. I think Gay is such a lovely boy. I would feel so badly if the least trouble would happen to him. I know all his family and they are all such perfectly lovely people and good friend of mine. You must be all very tired but we all hope that how time you are having will soon be over. Don't you think so? We have had the gothas in the night and been bombarded by the "monster guns" in the day and night. I know that it is nothing compared with what you have to endure. Still we think it is bad enough. Just this minute I have send the little uniform to Utah and I am sending you the receipt. I am sorry I had to pay 9 francs 70 centuries more than you had left me but don't worry about it. You will give it to me whenever you have some spear time. Please remember us kindly to Mr. Crawford also to your other friend which I had the pleasure to meet. With kindest regards to yourself. From. Mrs. G. W. Street 6 Rue Leopold Bobert Paris P.S. I know my writing is poor but I hope you will be able to make up my Letter. A.J.

CEO/U.S. Country Head, BMO FinancialGroup, highlights leading through a time of change.
Six years ago, I moved to Chicago to become CEO ofHarris Bank after working for BMO Financial Group for 23 years. I've always felt fortunate about the opportunities I've had with BMO, and this time was no exception.
Over those years, I lived in Toronto, Hong Kong and New York. I was involved in creating solutions for customers, leading teams, managing risk, developing and implementing strategy – all preparing me for what was ahead as CEO of Harris. There was one thing I wasn't ready for — the financial crisis and economic downturn that followed.
Looking back, it was a catalyst for many things that strengthened Harris, now BMO Harris Bank. It became an opportunity to grow our business while others were preoccupied and struggled. Together as a team, we created a new set of priorities based on customer insights and market opportunity, and that defined our strategy.
Seeking input from our customers was one of my highest priorities. Listening and understanding what was important to them, informed our strategy and approach.
We made customer experience a business priority, redefining our brand and improving the many ways our customers could bank with us. To get this done, it meant engaging the entire team in our objective to effectively turn this time of uncertainty into a period of opportunity and success.
We linked strategy and people as core drivers of customer satisfaction and performance and incorporated our values around diversity and inclusion, which is important to us, our customers and the communities we serve. We added talent and capabilities to strengthen our team and increased our footprint opportunistically.
In visiting many of our branches and locations, I could see how many individuals were committed to our customers and company. Many were women and minorities, and I felt they deserved an opportunity to progress and put their talents to work.
So I made integrating women's advancement and improving diversity a key part of my agenda. I worked with our leaders to focus on ensuring individual performance in decisions and to balance the mix of ethnic and gender diversity at all levels in the bank. The results are real — not only did our diversity improve during that time, but we received recognition for it. I am proud to say that American Banker has recognized our senior women as a top team three years in a row.
During my time as CEO of Harris, I was fortunate to have led a great leadership team. Each leader brought energy, diverse perspectives and drive to our vision. They were the catalyzing force behind our results in customer loyalty and satisfaction, market share and growth, an enhanced brand and reputation, as well as our presence as a stronger community partner.
We've now embarked on a new era with the coming together of Harris and M&I as BMO Harris Bank – the momentum we built is evident now as the combined team takes the business to a new level. It's something I will always be very proud of.
