I don't see how I can be pregnant, since I'm almost certain I had my period a few days after intercourse. Is it possible to have your period a few days after intercourse and still be pregnant? That's crazy right? I'm just trying to rule out the possibilities here. I have a fear that it's my thyroid, or something worse like diabetes. I know it's difficult to determine, and I will probably only find out from a test or a missed period. I would just like some more advice. Thank you!View Thread

Cathay Pacific reports July cargo drop
July airfreight operations were down significantly for Cathay Pacific and wholly owned subsidiary Dragonair, with year-over-year volumes decreasing by a combined 9.4 percent. Airline officials attribute much of this decline to sluggish cargo volumes out of Hong Kong and Mainland China.
Cathay Pacific and Dragonair transported 140,050 tonnes of airfreight in July, an 8.6-percent drop from July 2010. Cargo load factor also fell considerably in the month in question, plummeting 9.4 percentage points to 66 percent. This loss was only compounded by cargo capacity, which was up 4.2 percent in July, Cathay Pacific officials reveal.
These numbers tell a very different story than Cathay Pacific's mid-year results, which show a 7.7-percent, year-over-year increase in cargo revenue. Still, the carrier wasn't immune to challenges: Yield rose 7.7 percent when compared with the first six months of 2010, but capacity outpaced it with 14.6-percent growth.
Despite these numbers, Cathay Pacific representatives remain optimistic about their cargo operations and cite initiatives to spur business. In addition to modernizing its fleet with a combination of Boeing and Airbus aircraft, the Asian carrier is also constructing an HK$5.5 billion cargo terminal at Hong Kong International Airport. The terminal is slated for completion in 2013.
Such initiatives will go a long way in positioning the carrier for success, Cathay Pacific's general manager of cargo sales and marketing James Woodrow projects. He also points to Cathay's expanded reach and success in markets outside of Asia as signs of good things to come.
"India routes continued to perform well and the new service to Bengaluru, which launched on August 1, got off to a solid start," Woodrow said in statement. "We expect the markets to remain soft through to mid-September. However, our long-term confidence in Hong Kong as an airfreight hub was confirmed by our order for eight new Boeing 777-200 freighters."

Amazon: breaking even on popular Kindle sales
(Read article summary)In an interview with the BBC, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos confirmed what many surmised: Amazon is selling the Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Fire HD at cost.
Gus Ruelas/Reuters
It's what many of us have suspected all along, but Amazon's Jeff Bezos only recently confirmed it.
Several Kindle devices are sold at cost, bringing Amazon no profit on the hardware.
In an interview with the BBC Wednesday, Bezos admitted that the Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Fire HD are priced so low Amazon breaks even on the devices.
"We sell the hardware at our cost, so it is break-even on the hardware," Bezos told the BBC.
Of course, Bezos isn't necessarily doing the consumer any favors. That aggressive pricing is part of his goal to get Kindle tablets in as many hands as possible in order to broaden the base of consumers for Amazon's online content – from books to games to video – which is the real cash cow of Amazon.
That strategy differs starkly from Apple's. Apple makes a profit on every iPhone, iPad, and other iDevice it sells, with much content thereafter available for free, or "slightly above" break-even on iTunes content.

I bought a few products in the Naked Bodycare range, and am very impressed with these products. The Rose Shower Gel is lovely, it is a light spicy rose smell, with a fluffy foaming texture, it is a pleasure to use. This is wonderful for my sensitive skin, and it is 97% natural, which is great. I love naked products, the starflower body wash smells amazing, and the orange & honey hand & body lotion is heavenly!
I have been using the Naked range of products for some time now, since I decided to make a concious effort to use more natural skincare. All Naked products are 97% natural and do not contain sulphates, parabens or petro chemicals.
I had been using some other Naked body washes when I was given the Rose one as a gift. I had not tried this scent before as I tended to think of rose scents as quite old fahioned and unappealing, but I was very very wrong, I can't get enough of the scent of this body wash! It smells very fresh and sweet, and is very like a turkish delight fragrance. It contains rose, clove and rosehip oil all of which I am assuming gives it its lovely scent (I have added full ingredients in the box above).
The body wash itself is very good, and gives a lovely feathery light lather, which is extremely good considering it is sulphate free. It leaves my skin squeaky clean yet soft and feeling moisturised. It leaves a light scent on my skin although this does not last very long. Since using sulphate free products I have noticed my skin is softer and I no longer get little bumps under my skin on my upper arms. I will definitely repurchase this body wash, and am already onto my second bottle.

G-CLASS SUMMIT - MERCEDES-BENZ G 63 AMG19 April 2012 Every new AMG high-performance vehicle offers an outstanding mix of "more power from less fuel" – and the G 63 AMG is no exception. The "strong man" in the AMG model range has been further enhanced with the state-of-the-art powertrain of the new ML 63 AMG. The design has been comprehensively reworked, so that, for the first time in the 33-year history of the G-Class, AMG customers can enjoy a raft of future-oriented systems: spray-controlled petrol direct injection, the ECO start/stop function and generator management. The AMG 5.5-litre V8 biturbo engine develops a maximum output of 544 hp and a torque of 760 newton metres. This enables the new G 63 AMG to accelerate from zero to 62 mph in just 5.4 seconds, with a new top speed of 130 mph (electronically limited). The new G 63 AMG outperforms the G 55 AMG KOMPRESSOR by 37 hp and 60 newton metres. |
BRITAIN'S CHINESE REVOLUTION BEGINS WITH GREAT WALL18 April 2012 Great Wall Motor Company – one of the most successful car manufacturers in China – this month becomes the first Chinese automobile brand to commence volume vehicle sales in the UK, with the launch of the 2012 Steed pick-up. On sale through a newly-appointed nationwide network of 40 hand-picked Great Wall dealers (for locations, visit www.greatwallmotor.co.uk), the Steed is a robust and highly practical pick-up, equally adept as a workhorse or a weekend getaway vehicle. The new Steed promises to be the most affordable pick-up in the UK – both to buy and to run. Prices start at just Ł13,998 (CVOTR) for the generously equipped Steed S model, and the vehicle's newly-developed 2.0-litre, 16-valve turbocharged diesel powerplant delivers class-leading fuel economy (30.1 mpg urban; 37.7mpg extra urban; 34.0 mpg combined). To further keep down ownership costs, the Steed boasts the lowest insurance ratings (from 7A) of any vehicle in the pick-up segment. The Steed's chunky appearance – amplified by muscular wheel-arches and high ground clearance – signals its durability as well as its capabilities as a versatile load-lugger, both on- and off-road. Under the galvanised steel skin lies a safe and robust, rust-proofed ladder-frame chassis, strengthened and braced by reinforced middle cross-members, an impact-absorbing rear beam and a reinforced cargo bed. Carrying capacity compares very well with established pick-up rivals, the spacious cargo bay measuring 1,380 mm x 1,460 mm x 480 mm (length, width, depth). The 1,050 kg maximum payload is also very competitive – and towing capability is an impressive 2,000 kg with a 'braked' trailer and 750 kg unbraked. Inside the four-door Steed's generously proportioned double-cab body there is ample head, leg and shoulder room for the driver and up to four passengers. Storage areas are plentiful, including a lockable glove-box, front centre console, front door pockets with cup holders and front seatback map pockets. When the terrain gets more challenging, the driver can engage the Steed's low-range gearbox, as well as the 'on demand' four-wheel-drive system – the latter at speeds of up to 12 mph The Steed might be able to work hard when required, but it is not a stripped-down, utilitarian device. It is luxuriously appointed, and no similarly priced pick-up on sale in the UK will rival its impressive tally of standard equipment. The entry-level Steed S (Ł13,998 CVOTR) comes with a host of features typically offered as high-cost options in competitor vehicles, including 16-inch alloy wheels, daytime running lights, remote central locking, a Thatcham-approved Category 1 alarm, electric front and rear windows, an Alpine CD/radio with USB/MP3 and Bluetooth connectivity, steering-wheel-mounted audio controls, air-conditioning, heated fronted seats and a full leather interior. The range-topping Steed SE costs just Ł2,000 more (Ł15,998 CVOTR), and adds body-coloured hard-top canopy, body-coloured spoiler, chrome trim to the daytime running lights, chrome side bars, black roof rails, load bay liner, and rear parking sensors. |
THE DACIA 100 DAY COUNTDOWN CONTINUES BEAT THE RUSH: PRE-ORDER A DACIA DUSTER WITH JUST Ł100 DEPOSIT 16 April 2012 Following news just 25 days ago that Dacia will begin its UK pre-launch campaign on 28th June, with the release of pricing and specifications for its Duster SUV, the brand has confirmed that customers will be able to pre-order their Duster online with as little as Ł100 deposit, in just 75 days time. If online interest alone is anything to go by, early signs for the brand's likely success on these shores are more than a little promising and would undoubtedly be the envy of plenty of other car brands. In less than one month since the brand confirmed a sub-Ł10,000 starting price for the Duster, several thousand savvy potential Dacia owners have signed up to receive regular news updates from www.dacia.co.uk. With interest growing, early signs suggest the new 'smart choice' brand is set to take the UK by storm, just as it has in Europe. The affordable, high-quality, versatile and rugged Dacia Duster will be available to pre-order online in just over two months time, with just Ł100 deposit. With demand set to be high, wannabe Dacia owners are being urged to secure priority delivery of their chosen Duster by placing a pre-order via credit or debit card on the Dacia website from 28th June 2012. Customers will be invited to 'build' their desired Duster via an online configurator before selecting a supplying Dacia Dealer to fulfil their order. Manufacturers' recommended retail prices will also be guaranteed over the pre-ordering phase, to December 2012. Deliveries will begin from January 2013 onwards. For the latest information on Dacia's UK pre-launch activities, interested customers are invited to sign-up now at www.dacia.co.uk where regular news updates will be posted in the coming months. Details of pre-launch activities will also be available on twitter @daciauk, Facebook or by calling 0800 99 11 99. |
THE NEW GENERATION G-CLASS: FOREVER YOUNG 11 April 2012 Mercedes-Benz has once again significantly upgraded the G-Class, reemphasising its position as the leader among off-road vehicles. The interior is characterised by high-quality appointments finished with exquisite materials. The instrument cluster and centre console have been completely redesigned. The driver's field of vision now encompasses a colour screen, between two new round dials. The car features the sophisticated COMAND Online infotainment system, including a navigation system and internet access as standard. New LED daytime driving lamps and new exterior mirrors bring a few discreet changes to the exterior appearance of the luxury off-roader. The range of safety features can be optionally enhanced with the addition of Blind Spot Assist, the parking aid PARKTRONIC and the adaptive cruise control system DISTRONIC PLUS. New to the range are the G 63 AMG with an eight-cylinder biturbo engine and the ECO start/stop system as standard. Since it was originally conceived in 1979, as a vehicle to be used primarily in tough off-road terrain, the G-Class has undergone an astounding process of evolution. Over the course of 33 years Mercedes-Benz has refined what was initially a very practical off-road specialist by giving it a high-class interior and road-going qualities on a par with those of the premium saloons emanating from Stuttgart. The G-Class today is considered the top model among luxury-class cross-country vehicles, and has provided the gene pool for the other very successful SUVs built under the Mercedes-Benz brand. The G-Class has been voted off-roader of the year countless times over the past years – as also once again this year. A comprehensive range of measures ensures that this classic cross-country vehicle remains in a class of its own in the off-road sector. These measures include new engines, a significantly extended range of appointments, a new, even more luxurious interior and a few discreet external modifications that nevertheless manage to preserve the timeless, classic design – virtually unchanged since 1979 - that has made the G-Class a true automotive style icon. Dr Dieter Zetsche, Chairman of the Board of Management of Daimler AG and Head of Mercedes-Benz Cars: "Our G-Class has been a force to be reckoned with for the last 33 years. In its latest evolutionary stage, it offers state-of-the-art, powerful engines, a further improved range of luxurious appointments and the very latest safety features, as well, of course, as its now legendary off-road capabilities. At the same time the design remains true to its down-to-earth, unmistakable style." The technical qualities of the G-Class continue to be highly prized. The tremendous torque of its engines makes the luxury off-roader an excellent vehicle for towing, while its three electrically controlled 100-percent differential locks, ladder frame and rigid axle characteristics make it an unrivalled proposition in rough, off-road terrain. The new generation G-Class will be available from Autumn 2012. UK Pricing and specification for the G-Class are still to be confirmed. |
1,000,000TH LAND ROVER DISCOVERY EMBARKS ON FUNDRAISING EXPEDITION FROM BIRMINGHAM TO BEIJING 29 February 2012
RANGE ROVER EVOQUE CONVERTIBLE CONCEPT TO BE REVEALED AT THE 2012 GENEVA MOTOR SHOW 24 February 2012 Land Rover will unveil a Range Rover Evoque Convertible Concept at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. The Evoque Convertible Concept vehicle will explore the potential for the world's first premium convertible SUV. This bold concept builds on the global success of the Evoque and continues Land Rover's tradition for creating and leading new market segments. The concept is being shown to gauge reaction and to assess the potential for what could be another white space product from the world's leading SUV brand. The concept has been developed by Land Rover Design Director, Gerry McGovern and his team. Commenting on the concept, McGovern said: "The Evoque lends itself beautifully to the idea of a convertible. This study is not a traditional convertible design execution - instead we have worked with the balance of the Evoque's lines to retain its distinctive shape and create something that is unique and, we believe, highly desirable." The soft-top convertible concept is based on the Range Rover Evoque Coupe. It features a fully retractable premium roof system with a Roll Over Protection System [ROPS]. The concept cleverly combines capability and versatility with a drop down tailgate and a comfortable four seat package. The vehicle has been developed with Land Rover DNA at its heart, retaining key characteristics including a command driving position and all-terrain capability. The Evoque's dramatic rising waist line and distinctive shape has been retained and the new convertible body style has been achieved with minimal changes to weight and torsional rigidity. The hood is housed in a neat tapered finisher with the roof mechanism stowed discretely below the belt-line. Inside, the concept is packed with Evoque's award winning technology including Terrain Response, surround cameras, Park Assist and class leading infotainment featuring an 8-inch dual view touch screen and a sound system from British audio experts, Meridian. The Evoque Convertible Concept features unique 21-inch Titan silver wheels and is finished in a new metallic Causeway Grey paint. The interior is in Lunar and Ivory with leather seats featuring sporty perforated panels and Ivory contrast stitching. The Range Rover Evoque has been on sale for six months and is widely recognised as an international success with strong sales performances in 170 global markets, and achieving excellent customer satisfaction and class-leading residual values. The Evoque has been launched to worldwide media acclaim and to date has been honoured with over 90 international awards. John Edwards, Land Rover Global Brand Director said: "The Evoque Convertible Concept is a new twist to the Evoque story and explores the potential to further extend the nameplate's appeal by giving existing customers more choice, whilst at the same time reaching out to a completely new customer base. We are excited to see the response to this concept as we assess the potential for building on the Evoque's exceptional success so far." The Evoque Convertible Concept will be revealed at Geneva as a design and engineering study. There are no production plans confirmed. |

More than 30,000 readers of the site were surveyed to find the car that has most captured their imagination during the past 12 months. Range Rover Evoque collected 12 per cent of the votes, in front of the Aston Martin Virage in second place with nine per cent and the McLaren MP4-12C in third with eight per cent. Tom Evans, managing editor of MSN Cars, said: "With over 30,000 votes, this year's competition generated a great deal of public interest. The competitive MSN Cars' Car of the Year is often won by supercars but this time I'm really pleased to see our prize being won by a car that many people can realistically aspire to own. "The Evoque is a thoroughly worthy winner, and a British one too. The enthusiasm for this global smash hit is palpable. It has gorgeous looks, strong performance both on and off the road, and can still return up to 63 miles-per-gallon. Huge congratulations to everyone at Land Rover." The Range Rover Evoque is built at Jaguar Land Rover's Halewood Operations, which is regarded throughout the industry as a centre of excellence for manufacturing quality. The MSN team visited the plant to handover the Car of the Year Award to the 3000 employees who work there. On receiving the award, Richard Else, Director, Halewood Operations, said: "I am delighted to accept the MSN Cars' Car of the Year Award on behalf of the plant and also the wider company. It is always great to receive external awards for our products – especially when the recognition comes from members of the public. We have been overwhelmed by the extremely positive reaction to the Evoque and are working hard here at Halewood to continue the delivery of an outstanding vehicle to our customers."

PRINDIVILLE DESIGN UNVEILS LIMITED EDITION LAND ROVER DEFENDER 15 February 2012 London-based bespoke coachbuilder, Prindiville Design, has unveiled a new Limited Edition Land Rover Defender, designed to celebrate the debut of the model in their Collection which counts some of today's most sought-after supercars such as the Ferrari 458 Italia and Lamborghini Aventador. Restricted to only 25 units worldwide, and designed to offer individuality coupled with a superior level of comfort and practicality, the Limited Edition Land Rover is based on the latest Defender 90 Hard Top model, and hand-assembled by a team of highly skilled engineers at Prindiville's UK manufacturing facility close to Silverstone, in-line with the customer's bespoke interior and exterior specification. Enhancements to the suspension, braking system, cooling, and engine are undertaken by Defender specialists, Lincolnshire-based Alive Tuning, who has become renowned in their field for their extensive experience, unrivalled quality, and attention to detail. The Limited Edition offers a choice of four different power upgrades, which gradually increase the output of the 2.4-litre TDi powerplant from 122 to 190 bhp. Coupled with the dual-range six speed transmission, which can be further upgraded to an automatic or tiptronic gearbox, and the additions of a high flow intercooler, silicone hoses, and turbocharger, this translates into a 0 to 60 mph (0 to 100km/h) sprint of just 10 seconds, and a peak torque of 460Nm. The model is specified as standard with 18-inch five-spoke alloy wheels, complete with a high performance braking system thanks to Prindiville's bespoke six-pot callipers and sport discs. Custom designed and manufactured performance springs also allow greater vehicle speed and stability. Each of the 25 customers are invited to specify a bespoke paint scheme in either a matt or metallic finish from Prindviille's very own palette, thereby complementing the beautifully-designed exterior which boasts a number of features exclusive to the latest Limited Edition. These are namely a rear Prindiville signature badge, a titanium high performance sports exhaust, chrome side protection runners, LED front and rear headlamps, ribbed undershield, in addition to front and rear parking sensors and cameras, a world first for the Land Rover Defender. The full leather interior is trimmed with the finest Italian hides, and superior comfort comes courtesy of Cobra sport seats dressed with hand-stitched piping. This is echoed in the matching leather steering wheel, alcantara driver and passenger carpets, and bespoke centre console storage unit, all built and tailored according to the owner's colour selection. Each of the Limited Edition Defenders by Prindiville equally receives a dashboard-mounted numbered aluminium plaque commemorating the series in the coachbuilder's prestigious collection. The application of internal sound proofing significantly reduces road and engine noise, allowing occupants to enjoy the unsurpassed driving experience as well as the in-car entertainment and communication system. This comes as standard with a five-inch built-in LCD television interface providing access to wireless Internet, a DVD player, satellite navigation, 360-degree external vision, surround sound from four loudspeakers, as well as a connection to any mobile handset and MP3 device via Bluetooth. Commenting on the launch of the new Limited Edition Land Rover Defender, Alex Prindiville, Founder and Chief Designer of Prindiville Design, explains: "The Limited Edition Land Rover Defender is a truly unique proposition in that it offers a more refined, quiet, and comfortable environment comparable to that of high-end 4x4s. This is an uncompromised solution for either urban city driving or long-distance journeys. The significant interest which we have enjoyed to date will no doubt pave the way for further Land Rover or Range Rover customisations of a similar nature." The Limited Edition Land Rover Defender by Prindiville Design is available to order now at a cost of Ł52,000 or US$81,500 (excluding import taxes and shipping). |
CHIC NEW SUBARU XV ARRIVES IN IRELAND 12 February 2012 The chic new Subaru XV is now in Subaru Dealer showrooms throughout the country. The safest model in its class (certified 5 star Euro Ncap award) for child occupant safety, the Subaru XV combines city style with urban and offroad ability. Core Subaru technologies – Symmetrical All-Wheel-Drive (Permanent four wheel drive) and the unique Boxer Diesel engine – ensure the XV satisfies the needs of the discerning driver. Whether for business or pleasure, the Subaru XV is well capable whatever the weather. Despite a ground clearance of 220mm, the best in its class, the Subaru XV offers a low centre of gravity, which aids its "on-road" adhesion giving it an acceleration figure of 0-100km in 9.3 seconds. Priced at €34,995, the level of trim and standard features, which will leave its direct competitors in its wake, suggests the Subaru XV is a serious new comer to this important segment. All models marketed by Subaru Ireland come with the reassurance of a three year or 160,000 kilometres warranty, plus twelve year anti-corrosion cover and three year paintwork warranty. This is in addition to three year's membership of Subaru Assist – a comprehensive home and roadside repair and recovery package throughout Ireland and Europe administered by Mapfre Asistencia. |
LAND ROVER STEPS IN FOR SNOW PATROL 9 February 2012 With the cold snap continuing, Land Rover vehicles are out in action across the UK helping the British Red Cross and emergency services reach vulnerable people. As well as loaning vehicles, Land Rover has provided specialist winter driving training to volunteers from the Red Cross and London Ambulance Service who have been using Land Rover vehicles to respond to emergencies that would otherwise be difficult to access. The same course is now available to members of the public through Land Rover Experience centres nationwide. When snow fell last weekend, Red Cross ambulance crews responded to 999 emergency calls in Land Rover Defender ambulances. Teams worked from bases in Redhill in Surrey and Winchester in Hampshire to ensure vital support got to people in need – wherever they were. And 4x4 ambulances were on duty in Derbyshire and Leicester, supporting the East Midlands Ambulance Service. Volunteers from the fire and emergency support service (FESS) in Surrey used a Land Rover support vehicle to tackle difficult snowy conditions to reach a couple who'd been forced to flee their home following a fire. And in Essex, nurses unable to get to work through heavy snow were transported by Red Cross vehicles. Emergency teams in Kent and Surrey used their Land Rovers to take care workers to their clients and make house-calls to check on the welfare of vulnerable older people, ensuring that they received personal care and hot meals. With the wintry weather set to continue, drivers are being warned to take extra care in snow and ice and be prepared for difficult conditions. Land Rover has created a useful video for drivers, which gives winter preparedness and driving advice. Land Rover Experience is also launching a special winter driving course at its 10 centres across the UK, including Solihull in the West Midlands, Halewood on Merseyside and Gaydon in Warwickshire. The half-day course is delivered by trained instructors to prepare drivers for severe weather, advising on the best techniques to negotiate icy, snowy and wet conditions safely and effectively. There is also some timely advice on how to tackle deep water for when the thaw comes. Topics covered include choosing the correct tyres, vehicle preparation, essential kit to carry and how to use the vehicle's controls and make the most of Land Rover's unique Terrain Response™ system in slippery conditions. Hands-on experience comes in one of the Experience Centre's vehicles on suitable terrain. For further details visit www.landrover.co.uk and follow the link to the Land Rover Experience. |
PICK UP IN DEMAND SEES ISUZU UK TOP EUROPEAN SALES CHARTS 7 February 2012 Sales of Isuzu pick-up vehicles in the UK rose by 11 per cent last year, putting the UK market firmly at the top of the brand's European sales chart. A total of 2,431 Isuzu Rodeo pick-ups were sold by the 97-strong UK dealer network, up by 11 per cent compared to 2010 and equivalent to 17 per cent of all Isuzu registrations across the continent. It is the first time that the UK operation, which is managed by distributor I.M. Group, has achieved the number one status in Europe. Last year's success is part of an ongoing trend for the renowned pick-up brand, which has seen UK sales more than double over the past three years. Isuzu's UK sales in 2011 bettered the Japanese brand's registrations in second-placed Turkey (2,296 units) and France (2,003 units). Isuzu General Manager, William Brown, commented: "The market has responded very positively to the rugged, highly capable Rodeo in recent years, which is testament to the vehicle's growing reputation as a dependable load-lugger. "This achievement is also a reflection of the professionalism and dedication of our retail network. The hard work of our dealers is fundamental to the continued rise of the Isuzu brand's reputation, and the impressive year-on-year sales growth of the Rodeo pick-up. Our challenge for 2012 – a year in which an all-new model will be launched to replace the Rodeo – is to further build our sales momentum and maintain our status as Isuzu's number one market in Europe." Rodeo prices start at Ł13,995 (CVOTR) for the entry-level 136bhp 2.5 Rodeo Single Cab 4x2, and rise to Ł23,495 (CVOTR) for the top-of-the-range five-seater, 163bhp 3.0 Denver Max LE Auto. Insurance groupings start at 10A for base models and peak at a still-reasonable 13A. Further information on Isuzu's range of pick-ups and commercial vehicles is available at www.isuzu.co.uk |
RANGE ROVER (3) CELEBRATES ITS 10TH ANNIVERSARY WITH NEW SPECIAL EDITIONS 6 February 2012 The third generation Range Rover enters its 10th anniversary year in 2012, continuing to set benchmarks in luxury, capability and performance. Going beyond the 2012 model year enhancements that were introduced in October 2011, the Range Rover line-up is being developed to include three new Special Editions; The TDV8 Westminster, TDV8 Autobiography and Supercharged Autobiography. The new arrivals focus on further extending the luxury and high specifications that are at the core of the Range Rover brand. In 2012 Land Rover celebrates 10 years of Range Rover in its current guise. The Range Rover (3) was introduced in 2002 to critical acclaim setting new benchmarks in levels of luxury and all-terrain capability. Over the past decade, several facelifts and model year updates have kept the Range Rover at the cutting edge of technology leading up to the latest special editions, which will provide customers with increased options and convenience. |
SUBARU ANNOUNCES PRICES FOR NEW XV CROSSOVER 30 January 2012 Every XV is equipped with two core Subaru technologies – Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and a Boxer engine – ensuring that this new vehicle feels both engaging and incredibly safe to drive, in all conditions. Subaru is confident that the XV will thoroughly satisfy the needs of existing customers, while also attracting new consumers to the brand. Three Euro V-compliant Boxer engines are offered with the new XV: 1.6 and 2.0-litre petrol, and 2.0-litre diesel. The 1.6-litre and 2.0-litre petrol engines develop 114ps and 150ps respectively, while the 2.0-litre diesel produces 147ps and 350Nm. The go-anywhere XV is available with a choice of either a five and six-speed manual or a six-speed CVT automatic (petrol only). Reaching 60mph in 9.3 seconds, the 2.0 diesel XV – likely to be the best-selling variant in the UK – offers class-leading fuel economy of 50.4mpg on the combined cycle, while emitting 146g/km of CO2. Subaru's XV also features the highest ground clearance and lowest centre of gravity in class, making it a highly capable performer both on and off road. Even entry-level S models feature a standard kit list to make many models from premium compact SUV manufacturers blush. Buyers can expect to find ABS, traction control, Subaru Vehicle Dynamics Control (SVDC), front, side, curtain and knee airbags, 17-inch alloy wheels, daytime LED running lights and automatic air conditioning as standard. SE models add cruise control, rear-view camera, Bluetooth functionality and USB/iPod connectivity. Meanwhile, top-of-the-range SE Lux Premium models also come with a sunroof, Keyless Smart Entry, push-button start, leather seats and satellite navigation. All 2.0-litre models are fitted with roof rails. Petrol-powered XV models benefit from Subaru's new fuel-saving Auto Start Stop System as standard, boosting fuel savings in congested traffic. It was the aim of Subaru engineers to make the engine cut-out virtually unnoticeable to the driver, and they achieved this with a time lapse between stop and start of approximately 0.2 seconds, one of the fastest currently available. Pricing for the new XV range starts at Ł21,295 for the 1.6i S models, and rises to Ł29,995 for the range-topping 2.0D SE Lux Premium.

January 2012 Qt Services is the first manufacturer to successfully integrate this new powerplant into a race car. Qt's MD, Dave Marsh says, "This new engine has exceeded our expectations. Delivering 316 HP and 513 ftlbs of torque it produces more than enough power to deal with the toughest off road conditions in the world". Working closely with their electronics and transmission specialists, the integration of the engine has worked really well and Qt are looking forward to having two of the new Diesel cars racing in the Tuareg Rally, which kicks off in Spain in March. There has been strong interest from around the world in this new package and Qt are pleased to be able to officially launch the car at the prestigious Autosport show. The TDv6 diesel car was officially launched at the Autosport Show on January 12th and full details of the range of Wildcats can be found at www.qtwildcat.co.uk |
January 2012 In 2011 in Italy, Jeep sales increased 117.6 per cent versus 2010, with registrations increasing 71.7 per cent in France, 124 per cent in Germany, 21.2 per cent in Spain and 18 per cent in UK. In December, Jeep sales rose 47.8 per cent in Europe versus December 2010, while the industry declined 5.8 per cent. "The increase in Jeep sales in Europe is evidence that Chrysler Group's integration with the Fiat Group is clearly working," says Mike Manley, President and CEO, Jeep Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. "Much of the Jeep brand's success in Europe can be attributed to a strengthened dealer network, as well as a rollout of new Jeep models for the European market – including the incorporation of Fiat's fuel- and emissions-saving MultiJet II technology on the new 3.0-litre CRD engine that powers the Grand Cherokee." In addition to increases in Europe, Jeep brand sales rose 44 per cent in the US in 2011, and 41 per cent globally. |

January 2012 The Range Rover Evoque was reviewed by a coalition of 50 automotive journalists, from the United States and Canada, representing all media platforms. Every year, the jurors of the North American Truck of the Year convene to determine worthy vehicle contenders and limit the eligible vehicles to approximately 10 cars and 10 trucks. Based on a points system, the jurors rate the vehicles and send their ballots to Deloitte & Touche's office in Detroit where the selection process is narrowed down to the three cars and three trucks with the most points. Once the three finalists are announced, the jurors vote again on the finalists. The North American Truck of the Year honor is the latest global accolade that the Range Rover Evoque has received since its launch in September 2011. It is the first NAToTY title for Land Rover although the brand has been shortlisted three times. Additionally, in North America, the car has been named Motor Trend's 2012 Sport/Utility of the Year, Autoweek's "Best of Best" Truck, Road & Travel's International Truck of the Year, Decisive Magazine's Urban Truck of the Year, Automobile Magazine's 2012 All-Star Award and Best Luxury Compact Vehicle from Automotive Lease Guide (ALG) and Bloomberg News' Crossover Car of the Year. In the UK, the Range Rover Evoque has been named Car of the Year by several titles including Auto Express, Top Gear and The Sun. Additionally, the UK's leading consumer publication, Which? recently chose the Evoque as one of the best vehicles to go on sale in 2011. Frank Klaas, Global Head of Communications for Jaguar Land Rover, said: "It is fantastic news that we have been awarded North American Truck of the Year, which is further recognition for the hard work of both the team in the market and also our employees based at our design, engineering and manufacturing sites in the UK. Also today, the European Car of the Year jury has announced that the Range Rover Evoque is one of seven cars shortlisted for this highly prestigious European award. The entire Evoque team has their fingers crossed ahead of the final announcement at the Geneva Motor Show in March." |
January 2012 The award is aimed at those who want to take a journey beyond their limits and boundaries, offering challenges for the team and using a Land Rover Defender 110 as an integral part of the expedition. Mark Cameron, Global Brand Extension Director for Land Rover said; "It's brilliant to see such a wide and exciting variety of expedition enthusiasts applying for the 'Go Beyond' Bursary 2012 this year. And for the first time ever, we have also trebled the total amount of Land Rover funding to Ł30, 000, enabling the winning Bursary team to adventure further afield than ever before." Paul Rose, Vice President of Expeditions & Fieldwork, RGS-IBG added; "The Land Rover 'Go Beyond' Bursary offers recipients an amazing opportunity to take a journey to promote a wider understanding and enjoyment of people, places and environments. " "With the use of a Land Rover Defender 110, you can really get off the beaten track and make the most of the vehicle's capabilities in remote terrain and in demanding environments, helping to turn ideas for challenging and inspiring geographical journeys into a reality." The journey may connect the team with schools, local communities or projects but, whatever its aim, the team will be expected to inspire and engage others, both from the field and on return. A bursary of Ł15,000 is available and in addition applicants can apply for a discretionary fund of up to Ł15,000 to support essential expedition-related costs. The application deadline is 3 February 2012 and interviews will take place in March 2012, in London. To apply, please visit; www.rgs.org/GoBeyond Additionally, the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) will also be exhibiting at the Telegraph Adventure Travel Show; Expedition planning zone. The show will provide a collection of extraordinary travel experiences under one roof, at London Olympia on the 28 - 29 January 2012. The Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) is one of six Global Humanitarian & Conservation Partners with Land Rover which forms part of an integrated approach to sustainability and sits within Land Rovers' Our Planet. |
January 2012 The Euro 5 emissions 1.9-litre DDiS engine has a power output of 129PS with torque of 300Nm from just 2,000rpm offering strong flexibility when overtaking or driving off road. In combined cycle driving, the DDiS model returns 41.5mpg with emissions of 179g/km. Suzuki launched its first Vitara 24 years ago, creating the world's first compact SUV and tapping into a new market for vehicles that deliver true off-road performance with responsive, fun-to-drive on-road performance. Since then the stylish and versatile SUV has steadily evolved and kept pace with growing demand for good-looking and versatile 4x4s that are as rewarding on the open road as they are motoring off the beaten track. Grand Vitara remains a true off roader with its switchable low / high ratio Four Wheel Drive system. SZ-T is available in five metallic colours: Quasar Grey, Silky Silver, Blueish Black Pearl, Phoenix Red Pearl and Nocturne Blue Pearl.

January 2012 "Our intention is to introduce the all new Defender in the middle of the decade - there's a lot of work to do to meet these dates and our concepts are just the start of the journey. We are here in India to showcase the Defender Concept 100 and Defender Concept 100 Sport." Capturing the rugged, dependable and adventurous spirit of the original, the Defender Concept 100 and Defender Concept 100 Sport are intended to showcase the potential breath of capability for the future Defender family. Evolved since their unveiling at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2011, the concepts now ride on optimised off-road 20-inch alloy wheels shod with Cooper all-terrain tyres. Shown for the first time in Firenze Red paint with a white roof, the Defender Concept 100 re-invents the essential Defender design cues for the 21st century. These include short overhangs for extreme approach and departure angles, vertical panels, an upright windscreen and strong shoulder line for visibility and ease of positioning and, of course, the honest Defender 'face' with its signature round lamps and prominent grille, incorporating a winch. Also in Firenze Red, the Defender Concept 100 Sport takes all these key design cues and adds to them the spirit of freedom first embodied by the early canvas-roofed Land Rovers with their fold-down windscreens to create a concept bursting with California cool. Core Land Rover attributes of capability and versatility are underpinned in both concepts by a suite of innovative off-road technological aids that reduce the workload on the driver. Foremost of these is the next generation of Land Rover's acclaimed Terrain Response system which will optimise the car for any conditions without driver pre-selection. In addition, a new Terrain-i system creates an intelligent map of the topography in front of the car and displays it as a 3D visualisation. Terrain-i automatically identifies potential hazards and suggests alternative routes. In urban environments the same system is able to identify pedestrians and hazards with great accuracy. A new Wade Aid system utilises sonar sensors mounted in the bumpers and wing mirrors to measure water depth. As with Terrain Response, Wade Aid will optimise the car for water crossings by closing body vents, raising the ride height, selecting a low gear and advising on the safest speed. Sustainability has always been a Land Rover hallmark - more than three-quarters of the almost two million Defenders made are still doing regular duty - and the Defender Concepts extend this commitment with new technologies that will reduce their environmental impact. The first is an intelligent Twin-Solenoid Stop/Start system mated to the latest eight-speed automatic gearbox, both of which have been designed with future hybridisation in mind. Second is the unique Driveline Disconnect system, which sends power to the front-axle only unless conditions demand all-wheel drive. Unlike conventional systems, this physically, rather than electronically, decouples the rear-axle to reduce friction losses but can reengage drive almost instantaneously. |
January 2012 Based on the current Mitsubishi 3.2 Di-D LWB Shogun SG4, the newcomer will be available from UK dealerships from 1st January 2012 in the following metallic colours: Frost White (Solid) The new Euro V compliant Mitsubishi Shogun is the strongest, quietest, safest and smartest Shogun ever built. Now with 197bhp and a massive 441Nm of torque it has increased towing capacity to 3,500kg, best-in-class CO2 emissions which not only means it is kinder to the environment, it also has lower road tax too. Complete with new satellite navigation and Bluetooth systems to help with any on or off road adventure. As always, the Shogun comes packed with an array of standard safety and luxury equipment. |

Broadway has officially gone Hollywood, folks. I couldn't help but be more than a little annoyed that most of the top Tony acting honors went to big-name Hollywood stars last night.

I've fallen in love with a beautiful crystal table lamp; however, it is french wired.
Does anyone have a french wired lamp? And, does it bother you? I'm afraid the cord dangling down from the top might drive me crazy and it would defeat the purpose to adhere it in some way to the lamp base. I know RH sells lamps like this, so maybe someone has a picture of one in an actual home setting (most sites have the cord photoshopped out). Thanks,

I suspect the reason this is falling without anyone popping in to show is that most people don't like French wiring. I sure don't. The only way I would consider a lamp with that kind of wiring would be if it were amenable to having it rewired the old-fashioned way with the wire in a rod up through the center. This would mean the crystal part would need to be hollow (no problem there) and that it would look okay to put it on a wood or marble or metal base where the cord could run out the back. (If you are a good DIYer you can buy a kit for this fairly inexpensively. When I was a kid I had a lamp in my room that my mom made from a fancy delft stoppered jug.) I love those baluster crystal lamps that are all over the place right now, but not enough to put up with the dangly wire. I believe it's considered a design feature, so that nobody can be confused that you have an old lamp made from top quality crystal instead of the latest hot trend. |

I do not like dangling wire either. I buy a lot of lamps made at a local shop - she buys things in Atlanta or estate sales. Or I'll buy something and have it made into a lamp. But nothing French wired. |
Is the cord 'clear', or ivory or brown? I have made many lamps, and when I don't want to destroy what I am making one from, such as an antique barley twist candle stick or crock by drilling into it, I will either do the French wiring, or in this case below, I drilled into the hollow faux ivory candle. The wire comes out at the bottom of the 'candle' and is then almost invisibly wired with fine brown coated florist wire around the wooden stick, to hold it in place behind the lamp. No wire visible! Depending on the color monofilament fishing line and secure the wire around the neck of the lamp, so it hangs behind it, as in my example below? Then either do the same at the lamp base, depending on how wide it is, or use clear tape to secure the cord at the back of the base? Do you have a photo of the lamp you like? I put a link below to an image of a PB lamp that is French wired, and the cord hasn't been Photoshopped out. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Image of PB Bacchus lamp
Thanks for the input. Writersblock, you confirmed what I was thinking. It WOULD bother me. Thanks, Allison. Your own lamps are so beautiful. I always buy lamps based on shape (I can look at a page of 100 lamps and only like the shape of 1)and this one really spoke to me. Thanks for taking the time to find that link, my3dogs. The cord in that picture doesn't seem quite so obtrusive as I imagined, but I still think it distracts. BTW, when I went to get a picture of the lamp I was thinking of, I found they also make it with the rod. Not sure I like it as much, though. Anyway, here's the lamp, if you're interested. Still thinking....I'm a little bothered by writerblock's words that it's a hot trend. Dee |

That is a beautiful lamp. Do they have a picture with the rod? It's too bad there isn't way to avoid both the dangler and the rod, isn't it? |

In the Daguerreotype days there was a "portrait factory" on Broadway, where likenesses were turned out as fast as coining, for the small charge of twenty-five cents a head. The arrangements for such rapid work were very complete. I had a dollar's worth of these "factory" portraits. At the desk I paid my money, and received four tickets, which entitled me to as many sittings when my turn came. I was shown into a waiting room crowded with people. The customers were seated on forms placed round the room, sidling their way to the entrance of the operating room, and answering the cry of "the next" in much the same manner that people do at our public baths. I being "the next," at last went into the operating room, where I found the operator stationed at the camera which he never left all day long, except occasionally to adjust a stupid sitter. He told the next to "Sit down" and "Look thar," focussed, and, putting his hand into a hole in the wall which communicated with the "coating room," he found a dark slide ready filled with a sensitized plate, and putting it into the camera, "exposed," and saying "that will dew," took the dark slide out of the camera, and shoved it through another hole in the wall communicating with the mercury or developing room. This was repeated as many times as I wanted sittings, which he knew by the number of tickets I had given to a boy in the room, whose duty it was to look out for "the next," and collect the tickets. The operator had nothing to do with the preparation of the plates, developing, fixing, or finishing of the picture. He was responsible only for the "pose" and "time," the "developer" checking and correcting the latter occasionally by crying out "Short" or "Long" as the case might be. Having had my number of "sittings," I was requested to leave the operating room by another door which opened into a passage that led me to the "delivery desk " where, in a few minutes, I got all my four portraits fitted up in "matt, glass, and preserver," the pictures having been passed from the developing room to the "gilding," room thence to the "fitting room" and the "delivery desk," where I received them. Thus they were all finished and carried away without the camera operator ever having seen them. Three of the four portraits were as fine Daguerreotypes as could be produced anywhere. Ambrotypes, or "Daguerreotypes on glass," as some called them, were afterwards produced in much the same manufacturing manner.[2]
Visit to Plumbe's Gallery Among the "lions" of the great American metropolis, New York City, is the Picture Gallery at the upper corner of Murray street and Broadway, commonly known as Plumbe's Daguerreotype establishment. Puffs, etc., out of the question, this is certainly a great establishment! You will see more life theremore variety, more human nature, more artistic beauty, (for what created thing can surpass that masterpiece of physical perfection, the human face?) than in any spot we know of. The crowds continually coming and goingthe fashionable belle, the many distinguished men, the idler, the childrenthese alone are enough to occupy a curious train of attention. But they are not the first thing. To us, the pictures address themselves before all else. What a spectacle! In whatever direction you turn your peering gaze, you see naught but human faces! There they stretch, from floor to ceilinghundreds of them. Ah! what tales might those pictures tell if their mute lips had the power of speech! How romance then, would be infinitely outdone by fact. Here is one nowa handsome female, apparently in a bridal dress. She was then, perhaps, just married. Her husband has brought her to get her likeness; and a fine one he must have had, if this is a correct duplicate of it. Is he yet the same tender husband? Another, near by, is the miniature of an aged matron, on whose head many winters have deposited their snowy semblance. But what a calm serene bearing! How graceful she looks in her old age! Even as you go in by the door, you see the withered features of a man who has occupied the proudest place on earth: you see the bald head of John Quincy Adams, and those eyes of dimmed but still quenchless fire. There too, is the youngest of the Presidents, Mr. Polk. From the same case looks out the massive face of Senator Benton. Who is one of his nearest neighbors? No one less than the Storm-King of the piano, De Meyer. Likewise Chancellor Kent and Alexander H. Everett. Persico's statuary of the drooping Indian girl, and the male figure up-bearing a globe, is in an adjoining frame, true as the marble itself. Thence, too, beams down the Napoleon-looking oval face of Ole Bull, with his great dreamy eyes. Among the others in the same connection, (and an odd connection, enough!) are Mrs. Polk, her niece Miss Walker, Marble the comedian, Mayor Mickle, George Vandenhoff, Mrs. Tyler, and Mr. Buen, a most venerable white-haired ancient, (we understand, just dead!) On another part of the wall, you may see Mrs. J. C. Calhoun, the venerable Mesdames Hamilton and Madison, and Miss Alice Tyler. There, also, are Mike WalshRobert Owen, with his shrewd Scotch face, but benevolent lookHorace Greeleythe "pirate" BabeGrant ThorbornAudubon, the ornithologist, a fiery-eyed old man and Mr. Plumbe himself. Besides these, of course, are hundreds of others. Indeed, it is little else on all sides of you, than a great legion of human faceshuman eyes gazing silently but fixedly upon you, and creating the impression of an immense Phantom concoursespeechless and motionless, but yet realities. You are indeed in a new worlda peopled world, though mute as the grave. We don't know how it is with others, but we could spend days in that collection, and find enough enjoyment in the thousand human histories, involved in those daguerreotypes. There is always, to us, a strange fascination, in portraits. We love to dwell long upon themto infer many things, from the text they preachto pursue the current of thoughts running riot about them. It is singular what a peculiar influence is possessed by the eye of a well-painted miniature or portrait.It has a sort of magnetism. We have miniatures in our possession, which we have often held, and gazed upon the eyes in them for the half-hour! An electric chain seems to vibrate, as it were, between our brain and him or her preserved there so well by the limner's cunning. Time, space, both are annihilated, and we identify the semblance with the reality.And even more than that. For the strange fascination of looking at the eyes of a portrait, sometimes goes beyond what comes from the real orbs themselves. Plumbe's beautiful and multifarious pictures all strike you, (whatever their various peculiarities) with their naturalness, and the life-look of the eyethat soul of the face! In all his vast collection, many of them thrown hap-hazard, we notice not one that has a dead eye. Of course this is a surpassing merit. Nor is it unworthy of notice, that the building is fitted up by him in many ranges of rooms, each with a daguerrian operator; and not merely as one single room, with one operator, like other places have. The greatest emulation is excited; and persons or parties having portraits taken, retain exclusive possession of one room, during the time.[3]
A Photographic Accident. As M. Courtais, a photographer of Bordeaux, was a few evenings ago engaged in his laboratory, a bottle of sulphuric ether suddenly burst, and igniting at a candle set fire to his clothes. In a short time he was enveloped in flames, and rushed down stairs, where some persons extinguished the fire. He was, however, so horribly burned that he expired the next day.
A Fire on February 6th, in Brydon's drug store, at Danville, West Va., extended to Frazer's photographic studio, which was entirely destroyed. Fowler, ot Indianapolis, lost $4,000 from a fire in his studio on Washington street on February 6th, which, unfortunately, was not fully insured. Harry Lay, of Wilkesbarre, Pa., lost his studio from a fire in the building in which he was located on February I3th. Loss about $3,000; insurance small. We regret to note the loss by fire on February I7th of the Artotype rooms of Mr. Edward Bierstadt, of Reade street, New York. Many valuable pictures were destroyed that were in process of reproduction by photo-mechanical means.
Poisoning by Cyanide of Potassium. An inquest has been held at the Red Cow, Chapel Street, Stratford, on Henry Giblett, aged two years and six months. The deceased accompanied some other persons into a photographic van in Bridge Road, Stratford, and as they were having their portraits taken he suddenly became alarmingly ill, and by the time Mr. Kennedy, the surgeon, arrived, had expired from the effects of a quantity of cyanide of potassium, which it is supposed he swallowed out of a phial which was in a cupboard. The jury found an open verdict, "That the child died from the effects of the poison, but how administered there was no evidence to show."[4]
Pathological Anatomy of Bromine-poisoning. Dr. J. N. Snell reports the case of a daguerreotypist, who committed suicide by taking an ounce of bromine, which caused death in seven and a half hours. A dissection, sixteen hours later, showed that the peritoneum was tinged a reddish yellow throughout the upper two-thirds, the parts lining the stomach, duodenum, and liver, having been highly injected. The omenta and transverse mesocolon were deeply tinged with bromine, and injected, as were the anterior surface and the lesser curvature of the stomach. The latter had ecchymosed spots, surrounded by red borders, on the posterior portion; the whole interior surface was covered with a thick black layer, resembling thick tanned leather, which readily peeled off; the lower portion was smooth, hard, and tanned, as were the valvulae conniventes, and the surfaces of the duodenum. The sulci were softened and injected.[5]
A Sad case, possessing more than usual interest, both from the poison selected, and the quantity swallowed, having recently occurred in my practice, I think it my duty to submit its history to the Profession. Mrs, E., aged 23, the mother of two children, had about three weeks since suffered a miscarriage, which left her feeble and nervous. In this state, more easily acted upon by depressing causes, she heard a sermon the effects of which on her mind (according to her own statement to me) she could not throw off; she fancied herself without the pale of salvation her soul condemned and lost in fact, she became insane with this predominant idea. In this state she remained, with some shades of variation, until Monday the 16th of February; her husband had been repeatedly warned that she would probably attempt to commit suicide, and he fortunately arrived in time to prevent her committing it by suspension on the Friday previous to the fatal accomplishment of her purpose. Her husband's business led him to the employment of Tincture of Bromine, Iodine, and other poisonous materials; these he had carefully disposed of beyond her reach. A day or two before the sad affair, he bought at a Druggist's one pound by weight of concentrated sulphuric acid, which shews about 5 fluid drachms to the oz.; he poured the whole of this into two large tumblers, dividing the quantity equally to form what these Artists call "a battery," by which they galvanize the silvered plates, previous to submitting them to the vapour of iodine in the production of daguerreotype likenesses; he had placed, as I have said, the Bromine and Iodine, &c, under lock, but, never suspecting the probability of her using this powerful acid for the purpose of self-destruction, he took no precaution with it. She was absent from her usual sitting apartment about 3 o'clock, P. M., of the 16th February, for somewhat less than two minutes, but she had time to effect her purpose, an she told him on returning to the room; on instant examination he found that she had emptied one of the tumblers of its contents, except about 1/2 a fluid oz., and the already excoriated state of her mouth and chin fearfully corroborated her story. Assistance was quickly sought, and, on my arrival, finding that the stomach-pump had been imperfectly used, I re-introduced it. At this time about 40 minutes had elapsed since the acid had been swallowed. I found her pale and perfectly collapsed, cold skin, no pulse at the wrists, and the action of the heart feeble and indistinct. The first effect of the poison had been to prostrate all the powers of life nearly to extinction. Milk and oil were first injected into the stomach and quickly withdrawn, but the appearance presented, destroyed all hope; it was dark, grumous looking blood, mixed with a shred like filamentous substance. Oil, chalk, and carbonate of magnesia were freely used, with a view to neutralize the acid or blunt its action. Some re-action came on in about an hour, when her sufferings became dreadful to witness; she could scarcely be held in bed, her mind had cleared at once, and "she wondered what could have made her do it," and then "she was burning alive," were expressions incessantly uttered; she could, and did, swallow every thing that was offered to her, till delirium and coma closed the scene. The body was carefully examined the next day, about 20 hours after death, and it is quite a hopeless task to give an adequate idea, by any description, of what we saw. The whole of the forepart of the stomach, that is, its greater curvature was destroyed, and fluid of the same appearance as that drawn up by the first action of the stomach pump, was on the surface of the intestines, and welled up from amongst their convolutions. The omentum was to a great extent in shreds, the back part of the stomach was likewise injured and look charred, but in a less degree, the food, (and she had dined heartily at noon,) was pushed toward, and lay at and near, the Pylorus. I apprehend, that the mass of food prevented the immediate contact of the acid, and thus accounted for its different state of disorganization; the great arch of the colon, where in contact with the stomach and omentum, was in some trifling degree affected. The stomach was literally dissolved in Sulphuric Acid; one or two drops from the scalpel fell upon some linen, and a hole, through which the finger could be thrust, was quickly made, showing how active this powerful acid still was. Doubtless the acid had continued to destroy the texture of all parts itcame in contact with. Even after death, but much of the disorganization, that we witnessed, had been effected by this destructive agent in the three hours that intervened between the time of her swallowing it, 3 p.m., and 6 p.m. the hour she died. It is pretty evident, that no plan of treatment could have been adopted in this sad case with any chance of success, either with a view to withdraw the acid before it had time to work irreparable injury, or to neutralize it. There was a well marked excoriation at each angle of the mouth and beneath the chin, much more apparent after death. The inside of the mouth and lips were of a dead white, as if burnt by a hot iron. It would have been interesting to have examined the fauces oespohagus, &c, but it could not be done. I am indebted to Drs. Boswell and Painchaud for their assistance upon this sad occasion.[6]
In a recent journal we have observed reports of four cases of poisoning in children, by the introduction of visiting cards into the mouth. They all recovered, though the symptoms were of an alarming character. It should be generally known, that in the manufacture of cards, in the enamelling and coloring, various salts of arsenic, copper and lead are used, which are capable of producing very serious sickness and even death. Children should not be allowed to play with them.[7]

Caroline Squires will try to discourage residents from shopping at pet stores that buy from puppy mills.
Sunday morning between 9:00 a.m. and 11:30, Santa Clarita resident Caroline Squires will be on the corner of Magic Mountain Parkway and McBean trying to get a message across.
She wants to inform the public of the wide variety of animals available through local animal shelters and rescue groups.
"6-8 million dogs and cats are sent to shelters in the United States each year, and half of them will be euthanized," she told KHTS.
Helping to adopt these animals will prevent them from having to be put to sleep.
When it comes to specific types of dogs, Squires says you can find anything you want.
"If you have your heart set on a particular breed, check that breed's rescue."
Certain groups specialize in taking in one breed of animal and therefore have a large selection.
Another part of her efforts Sunday will be to plead with residents to avoid shopping at pet stores that buy their dogs from puppy mills.
A puppy mill is a large scale breeder. The facilities are legal, and their records and violations are available online. Puppies born in puppy mills tend to have a higher occurrence of long term health problems which don't show up until years into the dog's life.
"Many people who purchase these sick dogs can't afford the medical bills," Squires says.
Squires is looking for advocates to join her on Sunday morning.
Below are some pictures of animals in local shelters.
