Leaders In Hemophilia Advocacy, Healthcare Delivery And Biotechnology Partner To Offer Free Genetic Testing To People With Hemophilia
"We hope that many people will participate in the My Life, Our Future program to learn more about their genetic profile and to contribute knowledge that may help future generations," said Barbara Konkle, M.D., Director of Clinical and Translational Research at PSBC. "As a physician, I believe this initiative will provide Hemophilia Treatment Centers with a critical tool to individualize care for people with hemophilia and their families today."
National Database and Research Repository Will Be Enhanced
Beyond receiving their individual genotyping results, participants can help accelerate scientific research in hemophilia by contributing data and samples to a secure national database and research repository. In the future, scientists can apply through ATHN for access to the data or samples to conduct research.
The confidentiality of participants who contribute their data and samples will be protected. Patient identifying information will not be entered into the database and the repository, nor given to researchers.
"With an enhanced database, researchers will be able to investigate the connection between the genetic cause of hemophilia and clinical outcomes," said Diane Aschman, President and Chief Executive Officer of ATHN. "Future researchers will be better equipped to improve the care of hemophilia and identify new treatment approaches." A Partner Dedicated to Serving the Hemophilia Community Biogen Idec Hemophilia, a business unit of Biogen Idec with expertise in hemophilia and genetic medicine, will provide financial backing for the initiative, as well as scientific advice and project management support. "Our goal is to empower people with hemophilia to live the lives they choose," said Glenn Pierce, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Medical Officer of Biogen Idec Hemophilia. "This initiative fits perfectly with our mission because it offers knowledge to patients, their families, healthcare providers and researchers that can improve care and advance science." The company is supporting My Life, Our Future as a service to the community, and will not have special access to the data or samples generated by the initiative. About My Life, Our Future: Genotyping for Progress in Hemophilia My Life, Our Futureis a partnership of the National Hemophilia Foundation (NHF), the American Thrombosis and Hemostasis Network (ATHN), Puget Sound Blood Center (PSBC), and Biogen Idec Hemophilia. The program will offer free or very low cost genotyping to people affected by hemophilia in the U.S., and will become available through participating Hemophilia Treatment Centers (HTCs) in 2013. Initially, the service will be offered to people with hemophilia A and B. Over time, it will be expanded to include potential carriers in their families.

I bought this after a friend of mine recommended it. I'm barely getting over my acne and although the bumps are gone I still have a few scars. I was extremely hesitant about putting this on my scars because I thought it would cause break outs. Quite the opposite. I noticed my scars fading after the first few days. The packaging for the way I use it isn't ideal but as a lip balm (which I occasionally use it for) it works. So for a mere $2.50 my skin is healthier and my lips soft and smooth. Gotta love those cheap mulit-use products!
Was expecting this to be something amazing due to all the rave reviews, but in all honesty, this is a very average lip balm. I like that you get a huge amount in the tube, and it doesn't leave my lips looking greasy/shiny when I apply it. It's somewhat moisturizing, but when I had really bad dry flaking lips, it did virtually nothing. When my lips are in good condition, it works fine, but yet again, nothing special. It can double up as a sort-of moisturizer for the skin but I don't want to use anything on my body that I use on my lips. I much prefer my Blistex over this...not a bad product, but not great like reviews made it out to be.
The best lip balm EVER!
I will keep on buying this again and again.
I have never found a lip balm that would make my lips so smooth and soft other than palmers!
WOOT WOOT! Finally something that moisturizes my lips. :) only had to re-apply to once throughout 10 hours of my day! BUY IT.
♥♥♥ Love this product. Its been the only lip balm by far that helps relieve my chapped and dried lips. Very cheap and you get a huge amount love how it smells too ♥♥♥ ☺I recommended it to everyone☺
This stuff is great! while I don't break out usually, once and while I have a blemish that really annoys me, and even when it starts to go away it's still sort of red and noticeable and dry from the tea tree oil i've undoubtedly applied to it. When I use THIS it fades a million times faster and soothes the irritated skin. Super cheap, feels smoothe and buttery, doubles as a lip balm and smells like chocolate.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Fantastic! Cheap, huge amount of product, moisturizing, works wonders on chapped lips, smells nice...What more could I ask for? I have repurchased again and again!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This stick does not moisturize AT ALL. You rub it on and absolutely nothing happens. Believe me, I tried...I thought I was buying the original cream but in stick form.
This is my absolute favorite lip balm! I love it because it doesn't have a nasty plasticy taste, it smells great, and it moisturizes and lasts well. And after using it, my lipstick goes on smoother because my lips aren't dry!
Ah yes my HG lip balm! As others here have said, Palmers Cocoa Butter Swivel Stick smells good, but amazingly doesn't taste like anything. It's also cheap and wonderfully moisturizing. I've been using mine for about 4 months and I still have plenty left, even though I'm always reaching to apply it! I either wear it by itself or under lipstick (I must say it's a great primer for lipstick-not too greasy at all). I LOVE this stuff!!! <3 I've even grown to like the gluestick-like packaging bc it sets itself apart from other lip balms=)

Sherry Arnold, a Sidney High math teacher missing since Jan. 7, was choked to death and is likely buried in a remote area near Williston, N.D., according to court documents filed late Friday in Richland County District Court.
The documents largely focus on the alleged confession of 22-year-old Michael Spell, of Parachute, Colo., one of two men charged with aggravated kidnapping in Arnold's disappearance, and describe a crack-fueled, seemingly random abduction of Arnold. The other man is 47-year-old Lester Van Waters, also Parachute, Colo.
Until Friday, few details of Arnold's disappearance or the case against the two men had been released since their January arrests.
According to the documents, Spell told investigators that he and Waters smoked crack cocaine on a two- or three-day trip to the area from Parachute, Colo., and that Waters began talking about kidnapping and killing a woman.
As they drove through Sidney, they spotted Arnold as she was jogging and Spell confessed to agents that they killed her, the affidavit states.
He allegedly said that Waters parked on the side of the road as Arnold got near and told Spell to grab her. The woman's shoe fell off as she was forced into the Ford Explorer Waters was driving, Spell told agents.
During the initial search for Arnold, one of the only publicly released clues was the discovery of one of her running shoes.
"Spell said Waters got into the back seat with the female and 'choked her out,'" the affidavit says.
After getting money at a Sidney grocery store, they drove to Williston with the woman dead under a blanket and threw her clothes into a Dumpster at a truck stop there that night before leaving the body in a rural area outside of town, the charging documents state.
The documents say they returned to Williston and bought a shovel at Wal-Mart and returned to where they'd left the body.
"Spell said Waters made him dig a hole two or three feet deep, and then they placed the female's body in the hole," the affidavit states. "Spell said the grave site was at the end of a shelter belt, which is a line of trees used as a windbreak, on an old farmstead in a rural, isolated area outside of Williston."
FBI agents later found a receipt on Waters for bread, bologna and a shovel purchased at the Williston Wal-Mart that same night. Through video surveillance tapes from the area, agents also confirmed that Spell and Waters, and their vehicle, were in the same Wal-Mart.
Video footage shows Waters returning the shovel to Wal-Mart a few days later and Spell was able to identify it as the one they used to bury Arnold, the documents said.
Four days after Arnold's disappearance, a tipster reported that a Colorado woman named April Cruz claiming to be Spell's girlfriend said he confessed to her that he and Waters had been smoking crack-cocaine and driving around when they picked up a woman along the road, killed her and then buried her body, according to the affidavit.
On Jan. 12, she allegedly confirmed that information to an agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which took the lead role in the case a few days earlier.
Officers in Williston detained Waters later that day. Early the next morning officers in Rapid City, S.D., picked up Spell, who had hitchhiked there because he was afraid of Waters, according to court documents.
Waters allegedly told Spell that smoking crack brought out "the devil" in him and that he'd "kill Spell and his family if Spell ever told anyone what happened," the documents go on to say.
Her disappearance resulted in several massive searches by hundreds of people across the Sidney and Williston areas.
As of Friday evening, investigators had not located Arnold's body. They are asking the people in rural parts of northeastern Montana and northwestern North Dakota to watch their property for areas like the one described by Spell that may have signs of recently disturbed soil.
Williams County, N.D., Sheriff Scott Busching said Friday that multiple leads have come in as a result of that request, but so far none have panned out.
"We've checked a lot of spots but we haven't found anything yet," Busching said.
Both men were extradited from Williston, where they had been held, on Tuesday to Sidney, where a judge ordered them to appear in District Court on Feb. 28.
Waters has a lengthy criminal background in Florida, where he lived before leaving sometime after his most recent release from prison in August 2010.
Beginning in the late 1980s, he had several stints in jail in Indian River County, Fla., and served three state prison sentences between 2002 and 2010. Charges against him included possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, sale of cocaine, petty theft, burglary, failure to pay child support, contempt of court, resisting an officer and multiple counts of driving with a suspended license.
Spell has prior arrests in Colorado on charges of drug possession, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, sexual contact without consent, careless driving and driving without a license. Charges filed against Spell in a pair of 2007 arrests were later dropped, although it was unclear on what grounds.
The most recent charges came in 2009 after Colorado authorities said Spell asked a middle-school student to text other students and ask them if they wanted to buy marijuana.
He was scheduled to be arraigned in that case in January. But Spell was given permission by a judge to leave Colorado two days before Arnold disappeared, after claiming his brother had been in a car accident in Texas.

This is a discussion on How do you capture your brass for reloading within the Reloading forums, part of the Defensive Ammunition & Ballistics category; That's why I wear a hat with a brim when I shoot Originally Posted by iguanadon I take a shot and catch the shell in ...
To add to my previous post, over at the big range we put down tarps and don't have to look in the grass, but we have about 50' of firing line. Another tip is if anyone is shooting steel cases, we roll a roofers magnet over the ground and cull the steel, before we pick up the brass
Last Sunday, we were at the range and the boys were shooting my Thompson 1927-A1 and the tarp was not hanging at the distance they were shooting and I noticed the brass being thrown completly over the fence--still our place, but a pain to pick up over in the leaves and have to walk up to the gate or tear your pants crossing the fence. .
I also get to shoot at a local LE range sometimes and mostly they don't pickup brass. It is on concrete and we use a #3 grain scoop to pick up brass. Great source of .40, .223 and sometimes 9mm.
Pgrass got to it first. I sneak up on it quietly and throw my cast net over it.
I got tired of chasing 10mm brass all over the range and started using a handheld catcher (Graco Models). It's not perfect, and required a bit of adjustment, but I was surprised that it catches about 90% of the brass.
I set out a box propped up with a stick and a trip string,I then stake a piece of brass depending on which type I'm trying to capture 223/40/9/45 etc in the middle,pretty soon other brass will start accumulating under the box and when theres enough I jerk the stick out and trap it
"Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country,"

I was speaking with a young lady in line with me at last weekend's gun show and she explained how she catches her brass. She said she just unbuttons the top two buttons of her blouse and all her spent brass goes right in her shirt. She did say it hurts like heck, but she doesn't have to look far for her brass.

At my indoor range the Range Safety Officer asks if I am collecting my brass and i tell him yes. My station is clean when i start and when done, he rakes up all the brass into a pile for me to collect. Nice touch. If it someone is not collecting, he pushes it out onto the range in front of the shooting position. Yes, we are required to wear a hat to do away with the Hot Brass Issue.

Getting hot brass on you must have something to do with your grip or wrist. I really have "no idea" where mine goes while I'm shooting - over to the right somewhere and not on me, doesn't concern me. My sister shoots my gun, same gun same ammo and gets the hot brass treatment. Figure on that.
The range provides a dust broom, we bring a big coffee can. Haven't found a good solution for "free range" shooting, too much grass and/or leaves. Maybe a tarp is in order.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Jamie Dimon will do his best to put the "London Whale" trading flap behind him on Friday when JPMorgan Chase & Co reports earnings, telling Wall Street that the bank has capped losses from the bad trades and found the key risk management flaw behind the positions.

JPMorgan Chase & Co. Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon sought to hide escalating trading losses that surpassed US$6.2 billion, misled investors and dodged regulators as a "monstrous" derivatives bet deteriorated last year, a Senate probe found.
* Investment bank bet against CIO in derivatives market * Bank said to have discussed merging opposing trade books * Opposing bets could fuel claim JPM is too big to manage
Earlier today, as part of our JPM earnings recap we observed that "VaR plunged from $106 to $62" and wondered if it was just just "another excel copy/paste error" which as we reported previously, is what JPM's internal audit attributed much of the confusion surrounding JPM's VaR calculation around the time the London Whale blow up nearly doubled the firm's VaR.
Since Sunday, reports have surfaced the JP Morgan's board may release a report blaming CEO Jamie Dimon for last year's the $6.2 billion 'London Whale' trading loss.
A bunch of current and former JPMorgan Chase executives will head to Capital Hill this morning for a senate hearing on the "London Whale" trade that caused the bank to lose billions last year.

We are a family who loves to travel, and our most recent epic road trip took us to Michigan. But, travel can wreak havoc on anyone's best attempts to eat healthy. Not always. Check out my post below where I show how we traveled across the country while (almost exclusively) staying on our Real Food Foodie Lifestyle (i.e., we ate really healthy in spite of being on the road). It meant extra work, which isn't always the thing you want to do after a day of being in the car, but I'm simply not willing to eat crap food which is most often what's served in restaurants.
How to Have a Real Food Foodie Road Trip – What to Pack!
Recipe: Gussied-Up (low mercury) Tuna Salad Gluten-Free
Tuna fish in a can makes a quick lunch, but I'll only buy one brand of tuna. Wild Planet is a tuna fish I can trust to have low mercury and high omega fatty acids.
When we travel on the road, we eat it right out of the can for a satisfying protein and nutrient boost (we take these to Disney Land, too).
But, today, I'm sharing a recipe where it's all gussied up with delicious textures and flavors. My whole family loves this, especially the bites with hidden gems in them like diced dried apricot.
Gussied-Up (low-mercury) Tuna Salad
Yield 2 to 4
- 2 cans low-mercury tuna
- Juice 1 organic lemon or lime
- 1/2 cup grass-fed organic (full-fat) Greek yogurt
- 1 stalk celery, chopped <— get a good knife
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 1/4 tsp kelp granules
- 1/2 to 1 cucumber, chopped
- 1 green onion, chopped
- Drizzle quality raw organic olive oil (or brain boosting MCT oil)
- 1/2 cup raw sauerkraut
- 1 tablespoon organic mustard
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup diced dried apricots (or currants)
- Handful each cilantro, parsley chopped
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Mix everything together with a large spoon in a large bowl. Enjoy.

Recipe: Creamy Herb Balsamic Vinaigrette – Make This Today.
During the summer I find myself eating more salads. They're fresh, crisp, and help cool me down.
This recipe of Creamy Herb Balsamic Vinaigrette might be my new favorite. I use it not only on salad but also on vegetables, cooked or raw. You'll see that some of the ingredients don't have absolute amounts listed. That was my intent. By allowing some free reign in this simple recipe, it allows you to give your own dose of love to it.
I find, lately, that making dressing recipes in my Nutribullet is easier, and kind of more fun. It's compactness and easy-to-clean-ness draws me in. I wrote an in depth post on my fondness for the Nutribullet here … think: easy salad dressings, sauces, chia pudding, protein shakes, fruit purees, tonics, travel, etc.
Creamy Herb Balsamic Vinaigrette
- 1/4 cup balsalmic vinegar (be sure to get a high quality one)
- 1/2 cup raw organic pure olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, more to taste
- 1 clove garlic, peeled (or more)
- a little fresh rosemary and fresh thyme (fresh is best, if possible)
- Couple squirts organic yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons whole, plain, grassfed yogurt (or cream)
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Blend everything.

Recipe: Confession Granola (Gluten Free)
I have a confession. I made granola. Really good (too good, actually) granola.
Why is that a confession? It's a confession because I don't eat many grains (usually only in the form of white rice, if at all) and I make a pretty big stink about sticking to that. By making granola, and using (gluten-free) oats (because oats are what true granola has), and it being granola that is impossible to only eat a few bites of… well, I ate a lot of it. So there, I admit it. I'm not perfect and I ate oats. (It was really good though.)

New York Trip – Bareburger – "Real Food" Friendly
The last (and best) place I want to share with you about our recent trip to New York is for Bareburger, a "micro-chain of organic burger restaurants" (and like Don Antonio's Pizza), we chose the location of our AirBnB rental to be between Don Antonio's and Bare Burger. They're that good. When we're in New York we eat at Bareburger every couple of days, sometimes multiple days in a row. Thank you to Lauren for sharing this with us!

One of my favorite restaurants in New York is Don Antonio's for gluten free pizza. I don't know what kind of devilry they have going on there to make such an amazing gluten free crust, but I'm hooked. If we're in New York for 10 days, you can expect us to have their pizza about 4 to 5 times during our trip. It's so good that we chose the apartment we rented to be near it (and Bareburger).

New York Trip – Blue Dog Kitchen Cafe – "Real Food" Friendly
On our recent trip to New York I splurged off my routine eating to experience the best sandwich in the city as well as the best cheesecake known to man. The rest of the trip, however, was the usual high quality real food that I regularly eat. When we planned our New York trip we chose the apartment we rented (through Air BnB) so that it was strategically placed between our favorite restaurants:
- Don Antonio's for the BESTEST gluten free pizza ever (not entirely "real food" but I learned their crust is simply four ingredients and the cheese is freshly made daily). It's so amazing I can't even describe it.
- Bare Burger for a lip-smacking grass fed burger experience every time.
- Blue Dog Kitchen Cafe (on 50th) which I'm writing about today.

New York Trip – An Authentic Food Experience Off My Diet – Part 2
I'm back today sharing part two of my foodie experience in New York. After I shared the details with my mom, while I was still in NY, of the famous Katz Delicatessen sandwich I devoured, she said if I wanted another true New York foodie experience then I had to head to Juniors.
To Junior's we went.
Actually, in my opinion, as far as "cheating desserts" go, I figured that cheesecake was actually not a terribly crazy food off my diet since it's mostly just cheese, sugar, eggs and whipping cream. There's gluten in the crust, but it's a small amount. Now, I don't ordinarily say, "Oh, I'll eat X-food because it just has a little gluten." No, I don't like gluten in any form these days. But… as I mentioned in my Katz Deli post, sometimes a healthy life is more than just truly healthy foods. I was excited to share in something that so many people love and adore, especially since I'm a foodie.

New York Trip – An Authentic Food Experience Off My Diet – Part 1
Although I don't like to think of how I eat as a "diet" … sometimes that word just works.
Today, I'm sharing with you a meal I had in New York recently, where I went off the rails completely in exchange for a true New York foodie experience. Was it worth it? Oh yes. Yes, I enjoyed every devilish bite.
As you can see from the picture above, I had a sandwich. Ooooh so crazy, eh? Ha. Well, since I don't eat wheat these days, it was very different for me. Plus, it wasn't grass fed. But, a healthy lifestyle goes beyond just food. It involves happy experiences, family, friends, rest, fun, and so much more.

Modding My Chipotle Bowl With 5 Ingredients For Higher Performance
As you all know by now, I'm a wee bit picky when it comes to my food. I want the highest quality and most nutritious goodness for my body and for my family. I want high performance, longevity, and energy. So, to ensure I get all of those things I prepare all of our high quality foods from scratch. That's no small task as you might imagine, but it matters to me.
Sometimes, I need a break, or sometimes we're traveling and food choices are limited.
One of the places on our list of "OK to eat" is Chipotle. It's by no means perfect; but, on the spectrum of fast casual restaurants, they get my vote. They try to source quality ingredients and they listen to their customers. For example, they changed their oil by switching from crap gmo soy oil and now use less-crappy-but-still-crappy rice bran oil due to customer complaints.

Never liked powdered milk until tasting this milk as one of the Relief Society meeting when the ladies had many of the products for tasting!!! Love it...no more spoiled milk.
Posted on 5/27/14 by GRAMMA JAN
First off, let me tell you that I LOVE whole milk, I don't care for low fat or nonfat. Let's just say I was not expecting much from dehydrated nonfat milk out of a can. I took the plunge...
To say that I was surprised upon tasting this milk is understating it at best, The milk is SUPERB! I cannot believe that it is nonfat, it is truly delicious.
Per someone's suggestion here on the EE site, I added 1/2 teaspoon and a few drops of vanilla before mixing and it gives the milk wonderful hints of sweetness and vanilla.
I highly recommend this milk, you won't be disappointed!
PS - The plastic pitcher that comes with the milk does a really nice job of mixing the powder...Posted on 2/15/14 by JohnB

I only mix milk when i need it now. this milk is very good. it mixes really well. this works really good for me. and it tastes just like regular milk also

Not Bad!
This milk tastes good. I used a Rubbermaid 3 cup capacity screw top container, put in 2 cups of cold water and 1/2 cup of powdered milk. Then I screwed the top back on and shook it vigorously for about 1-2 minutes. You can mix a quart of milk with the container that comes with this. ..just use 1 cup of powdered milk. The powder mixes easily with the water. Then chill it overnight in the refrigerator and the result tastes just like regular nonfat milk to me.
Not bad! Not bad at all! No more spoiled milk for me. I just mix what I need. A few days later, I mix some more.Posted on 3/12/13 by Brad

But don't ever be forced into it-by this guy or by pressure from your friends-because you don't want to have any regrets. And just because your friends have already kissed boys doesn't make them better than you. (They might even wish they had waited.) You'll be better off because you're doing it your own way.

The towering poppies on the walls of Fashion Diva Spa seem to emit enough tantalizing aromas to suit their size. Honey, green tea, and citrus scents waft throughout the red-and-white wonderland, whose furniture strikes a crisp, modern contrast to the flowers. The smells don't emanate from their painted blooms, however—they stem from the baths along a pedicure bench, from the adjacent nail stations, and from private treatment rooms, where hot herbal compresses and lava stones help massage therapists loosen muscular knots. Of course, they might also drift up from complimentary cups of hot or iced tea, a warmer greeting than a welcome mat that's been set aflame.
The combined nail salon and day spa pampers guests with luxurious services to match each alluring fragrance. Cocoa-perfumed cream softens legs during a chocolate pedicure, whereas a mix of essential oils colors the aromatherapy facial. The vitamin C in skincare masks and the kelp in body wraps evince the menu's reliance on natural ingredients—a commitment the staff honors with its mink eyelash extensions, whose strands were painlessly harvested by brushing live mink on Russian farms.
Additionally, a focus on customization transforms even the most everyday treatments. Aestheticians apply specialized formulas for different skin types during waxing and airbrush tanning appointments. On a personal level, the team makes a point of memorizing clients' names, fostering an atmosphere of congeniality and closeness without preceding every massage with a trust fall onto the table.
Master coiffeur Vasken Demirjian, a L?Or?al Color Specialist, mans a fleet of European-trained stylists so adept at pampering tresses and faces that Westchester magazine anointed their work the Best of the Decade. After valets whisk away coaches free of charge, stylists froth a fresh cappuccino and lead guests to custom-made, ergonomically correct styling chairs from Germany for a personalized shampoo. Using K?rastase and L'Or?al products, the stylists paint on face-framing highlights, administer custom makeovers, and sculpt bold and classic cuts for men and women that have landed them a list of media praise longer than the index in Webster's Dictionary.
Aside from the superior work of Vasken and his stylists, the salon's decor dominates the news buzz, as it nabbed Salon Design of the Year in the 2010 North American Hairstyling Awards. "A simple sheet of clean, white paper inspired the overall look," writes Salon Today?and it's easy to see how Vasken's work in the art industry inspired the great white canvas, which he has accented with touches of crimson. A stark red countertop pops amid a sea of white furnishings, and a row of rouge lampshades frames the hundreds of white parts that make up the salon's "floating ceiling." Just as a piece of paper recedes to let words or sketches spring forth, the minimalist decor only serves to highlight the final glamorous styles that emerge within.

Wendy Traskos's career as a pole-dancing icon began with one fateful spin. Impressed by the strength of self-expression she glimpsed in accomplished pole-dancers, she tried the art for herself and was hooked immediately, so much so she has been honing her spinning skills for 16 years. Now a self-taught professional, she channels her background as a certified personal trainer and gymnast to enhance her routines. Wendy's fitness knowledge landed her celebrity clients, including Montel Williams and Mary J. Blige, and her proficiency on the pole led Germany's version of America's Next Top Model to feature her as a dancing expert.
At NY Pole studios, Wendy passes on her spiraling prowess through her original Climb and Spin method. She believes that students should build a foundation of muscle and a repertoire of techniques as they progress to more advanced pole tricks, which require them to shed all rock-climbing gear. Her classes accommodate varying skill levels with choreographed routines, motivating participants to practice recently learned grips, climbs, and transitions. The studios also offer fitness classes, private parties, and workshops led by guest instructors such as Cleo "The Hurricane," also known as Miss Pole Dance Australia.
As its name suggests, two halves create Full Moon Asian Thai Restaurant. On one hand is a vibrant, bustling dining room that would not feel out of place in Manhattan. The sounds of lively chatter pervade the open space, hanging over rows of wooden tables where napkins stand upright on plates like swans engaged in staring contests. This electric atmosphere juxtaposes neatly with the quieter corners of the restaurant, where eyes are drawn to elaborate woodcarvings and ears perk up at the sound of water burbling across bricks and sandstones imported from Thailand.
This fusion between West and East—between fast-paced and meditative—carries over to the Zagat -rated restaurant's menu. Sweat-inducing spices strike a balance with the sweet flavors of papaya in colorful curries. Similarly, crushed peanuts and handpicked bean sprouts lend a pleasant crunch to the rice noodles of a traditional pad thai dish. Purple- and orange-tinged lamps dangle above guests as they sample the spread of Thai cuisine, giving them the appearance of tigers at a black-light rave.
LaserTouch Aesthetics' team of licensed laser technicians overhauls dulled complexions and flawed skin with a roster of laser treatments and dermal fillers. Using FDA-approved Candela, Cynosure, and Cutera lasers, they aim to reduce the appearance of acne, wrinkles, and sunspots, and strive to do the same to dimples and lines caused by cellulite. During laser treatments, skin surfaces are kept at a comfortable temperature thanks to patented cooling devices.
When they're not aiming state-of-the-art laser beams at unwanted hair or moles, staffers smooth out wrinkles caused by stress or using a porcupine as a pillow with Botox, Dysport, and Juvederm treatments. Before each appointment, laser practitioners perform test spots and assess skin and hair, so they can safely customize each treatment to their client?s specifications.

This Supercut Shows The Elements That Hitchcock Shot Again and Again
Features By Scott Beggs on January 8, 2015 | Be the First To CommentUsing 40 movies from almost 40 years of filmmaking, director and author Steven Benedict has stitched together a visual list of Alfred Hitchcock's style-securing elements. The stuff he returned to repeatedly. The stuff that made a film, you know, "Hitchcockian." No sugar or spice, stairs and trains and stabbings are what his movies were made of. There's no voice over edification here; Benedict allows the raw juxtaposition (and the sheer number) of the images make the statement.
Why 'Rear Window' is Still Relevant Today
Features By Alexander Huls on August 29, 2014 | Be the First To CommentSome movies, no matter how old they are, never age a day. Their situations and themes remain as relevant now as when they were first released. Watching them today, they reflect and comment on our present in ways they couldn't possibly have anticipated. Every month we're going to pick a movie from the past that does just that, and explore what it has to say about the here and now. For sixty years Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window has remained a classic not just because it's a perfectly crafted thriller, but because it's one of cinema's greatest commentaries on our voyeuristic impulses. Those impulses haven't gone away, which is why it's not surprising that Rear Window continues to be a potent reflection of society—all the more so since technology has further enabled us to peer in on each other's lives. Here then are five ways—not all of them exclusively about surveillance—that Rear Window continues to speak to us today.
Watch Every Alfred Hitchcock Cameo in 5 Minutes
Movie News By Neil Miller on August 15, 2014 | Be the First To CommentEarlier this week, Alfred Hitchcock celebrated a birthday. Rather, fans celebrated on his behalf. He would have been 115 years old. Many fans have been passing around this video published as a college project in 2012 by Morgan T. Rhys. Simply titled "Every Alfred Hitchcock Cameo," the video shows exactly that: Alfred Hitchcock's cameos from The Lodger to Stage Fright and beyond. Many cinefiles can recount for you his cameos in North by Northwest or on a newspaper in Lifeboat, but this video shows all the lesser known and slightly more subtle appearances he made in his own movies. Watch for yourself and enjoy Hitchcock making himself one of the most infamous extras of all-time.
'Se7en' Meets 'Super Size Me' With New Morgan Spurlock Series
Movie News By Christopher Campbell on March 26, 2014 | Be the First To CommentImagine a nonfiction television series focused on greed, gluttony, sloth, lust, pride, envy and wrath. Well, doesn't that just describe the whole gamut of reality TV? Yes, but not in a condemnable way that acknowledges these things as the cardinal sins they are. We need someone to take these vices back and put them in their place, and Oscar-nominated documentarian Morgan Spurlock seems to be that person, like a premium cable version of John Doe in Se7en, only without the killing. According to The Hollywood Reporter, he's got a new show headed to Showtime called Seven Deadly Sins, which he describes as being like Alfred Hitchcock Presents but with true stories. I'd say this joins the new trend this year for major documentary filmmakers hitting the small screen with nonfiction miniseries, but Spurlock has been producing and hosting stuff for TV for years and already currently has the continuing Inside Man on CNN, which kicks off its second season in a few weeks. Seven Deadly Sins will premiere on June 19th and the channel has it scheduled for 11pm, which might indicate this won't be the most PG-rated program. In a statement, Spurlock said of the show, "You won't believe it until you see it … and even then, you may not believe it." Does he mean it'll be dirty? Gross? Violent? Something too dark for primetime, apparently.
Forests and Trees: Let's Rethink Filmmakers as Individuals and John Cassavetes as Auteur
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on March 11, 2014 | Be the First To CommentThis moment has proven opportune for a reflection of what the auteur theory means and has meant for film criticism. La politiques des auteurs, which originated in Cahiers du Cinéma in the 1950s and traveled, distilled but ready, to 1960s popular American film criticism, has irrevocably shaped how we've thought about and assessed movies to the point that it's impossible to talk about cinema outside the claims of auteurism. Not only did the work of André Bazin, Andrew Sarris and their contemporaries, combatants, and students allow for the serious study of film as an art form, but auteurism's legacy has even entered the film industry itself (film authors are now brands to be advertised) and solidified conventional readings of film history as the story of talented, uncompromising visionaries behind the camera (collect them all!). As Kent Jones's excellent Film Comment essay points out, our means of loving the cinema owes a great deal to auteurism's transformative power, particularly its now-common sense claim that "movies are primarily the creation of one governing author behind the camera who thinks in images and sounds rather than words and sentences." Yet we must also recognize auteurism's structuring power – its ability to create a framework of recognized artists through which it becomes impossible to see filmmaking, film history, and film themselves otherwise. It is nothing new to challenge the assumptions and associations of auteurism (or whatever fragmented versions of its politic – not theory – we've inherited), but it has proven incredibly difficult to ascertain what could […]
I was already in love with movies before someone showed me Alfred Hitchcock's Rebecca at the tender age of nineteen, but something about it opened up a whole new world of cinema to me. You'd think it was the film's acclaimed director or the mastery with which he brought Daphne Du Maurier's gothic novel to the screen, but no, I can't claim anything as respectable as that. Instead, it was the smiling woman pictured above who helped ease my way into black & white cinema. Joan Fontaine earned an Academy Award nomination, the first of three, for her performance as the second Mrs. de Winter, and she went on to win the Best Actress Oscar for her very next film, Hitchcock's Suspicion. (She's the only actor, male or female, to have ever won an Academy Award for one of his films.) I watched both in rapid succession before devouring several more of her films including Jane Eyre, Letter From an Unknown Woman, Ivy, and Kiss the Blood Off My Hands. More than simply her beauty and acting talent, I was enamored by the way she balanced timidness with a barely concealed inner wisdom and feistiness. The next several years saw me tracking down and checking off ever more obscure titles on her filmography until only a dozen or so remained. It wasn't quite an obsession, but a friend did buy me a framed 8″ x 10″ b&w photo of the actress that I still have to this day. Joan Fontaine passed away […]
Watch: Alfred Hitchcock's Clever Hidden Edits in 'Rope'
Features By Scott Beggs on October 14, 2013 | Be the First To CommentThe most brilliant trick of Alfred Hitchcock's Rope is that it takes place in real time. The second most brilliant trick is that co-star John Dall looks unnervingly like a 1940s era Jason Sudeikis. The result is that, in addition to being the textbook example of a bottle thriller, there's a sense of incredible magic contained in how the film was made. The same way we marvel at the Cuaron/Lubezki artistry of That Scene from Children of Men, Rope elicits its own brand of awe thanks to Hitchcock, DPs William Skall and Joseph Valentine, and editor William Ziegler. Fortunately, Vashi Nedomansky has compiled a video of the 10 hidden edits in the film (for everyone interested in knowing how the lady is sawed in half) and written an accompanying exploration of the simple, clever techniques.
Watching Alfred Hitchcock's 'Psycho' as a Comedy
Features By FSR Staff on September 17, 2013 | Comments (4)Looking for any excuse, Landon Palmer and Scott Beggs are using the 2012 Sight & Sound poll results as a reason to take different angles on the best movies of all time. Every week, they'll discuss another entry in the list, dissecting old favorites from odd angles, discovering movies they haven't seen before and asking you to join in on the conversation. Of course it helps if you've seen the movie because there will be plenty of spoilers. This week, they try to paint a smile on the face of Alfred Hitchcock's most terrifying chiller. In the #34 (tied) movie on the list, taxidermy enthusiast Norman Bates struggles to run a small roadside motel, but his life is turned upside down when a beautiful young woman on the run with some money rents a room and steals his heart. When his overbearing mother disapproves, she'll threaten to tear his love apart. But why is it one of the best movies of all time?
33 Things We Learned from the 'Psycho' Commentary
Commentary Commentary By Kevin Carr on March 14, 2013 | Be the First To CommentLegendary director Alfred Hitchcock has many connections to this week. First of all, this past Tuesday was "National Alfred Hitchcock Day," during which cinema fans revisit the master's masterworks. Also, the biopic Hitchcock released on Blu-ray and DVD earlier this week. Easily the most famous and most recognizable Hitchcock film was the 1960 thriller Psycho, which helped revitalize his career and changed the face of horror movies in general. Considering that Hitchcock tells the story behind Psycho, and it's based on the book "Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho" (whose author, Stephen Rebello, performs the commentary here), it seems fitting to look at this classic thriller. Rebello's commentary is available on the 2010 Blu-ray and subsequent DVD releases.
13 Ways to Celebrate National Alfred Hitchcock Day
Features By Scott Beggs on March 12, 2013 | Comments (1)It's unclear why March 12th is National Alfred Hitchcock Day. It's not his birthday or anything — he was born on a Friday the 13th in August of 1899 — but it doesn't really matter because every square on the calendar is a good one for celebrating the filmmaker's incredible work. But how to do it? Curling up with your favorite Hitch movie is a solid choice, but if you're looking for something a bit more exotic, here are a few suggestions (complete with where to find his movies online if you want to stick to simplicity).
SXSW 2013: 'Bates Motel' Preview Shows Hints of 'Twin Peaks', 'Lost', and 'Friday Night Lights'
Features By Jack Giroux on March 11, 2013 | Comments (2)Who in their right mind would want to see a prequel to Psycho? Sequels and remakes have been attempted, but have failed miserably recapturing the original's magic. If Gus Van Sant can't come out looking good when playing Alfred Hitchcock, then why even bother? A producer and writer from the show, Lost honcho Carlton Cuse, attended this year's Southwest by Southwest to both tell us and show us why, premiering the show's pilot to a few hundred people. It's fair to say he answered the question of "who cares?" swiftly, mainly because of the prowess of Vera Farmiga, helping to bring real drama to the show's key relationship. The pilot has a good deal of set up, but it still allows for smaller, more nuanced moments to tells us everything we need to know about Norman (Freddie Highmore) and his mother's dynamic.
10 Amazing Hidden Director Cameos in Movies
Cinematic Listology By David Christopher Bell on January 31, 2013 | Comments (31)The beauty of being a director is that you can get killer screen time without the hassle of actually knowing how to act.

So here are some neat ways that a director opted to show up in their film without taking the spotlight at the same time. These are creative little cameos that you might never notice in a million years of watching.

'Hitchcock' Actor Danny Huston On The Power of Good Movies
Features By Jack Giroux on December 4, 2012 | Be the First To CommentAs much as Hitchcock is a romantic bio film comedy, it's also very much about the ups and downs of filmmaking. Hitchcock may act like a drama queen in the picture, but nearly anyone who's picked up a camera or acted has gone through similar troubles. Speaking with actor Danny Huston, he confirmed that's often the case. The Hitchcock co-star, playing the director's romantic rival, has faced the worry of one of his films never reaching an audience. He's certainly been a part of movies which didn't takeoff upon their release, but have been remembered more fondly later on than whatever movie opened #1 that weekend. That's how Huston sees it, who also discussed with us dealing with critics, seeing your work with an audience, and taking a shower with Helen Mirren and Anthony Hopkins:
The Ingredients: 'Life of Pi' Recalls Cameron, Hitchcock and Chaplin Films
Discussion By Christopher Campbell on November 24, 2012 | Be the First To CommentThe Ingredients is a column devoted to breaking down the components of a new film release with some focus on influential movies that came before. As always, these posts look at the entire plots of films and so include SPOILERS. Even the most visionary and original films can seem derivative, especially to those of us who watch tons of movies on a regular basis. Occasionally it's intended for the audience to spot certain allusions and apply them to our experience with this new work, as in the case of Holy Motors. Other times it's not so deliberate, and the fact that new movies trigger memories of older movies (and vice versa depending on when they're seen) is all on us, yet not totally without reason given how there are really only a few base plots and themes in existence and also given that our comprehension of things, particularly imaginative things, has to be relatable to other things we've comprehended previously. That's why a movie like Avatar can be "like nothing we've ever seen before," but only to an extent. For it to be accessible to a wide audience — let alone be one of the biggest worldwide hits of all time — it has to "unfortunately" resemble other movies. And now Life of Pi can be likened by critics to Avatar for similarly giving us spectacle like nothing we've ever seen before. It sounds ironic but it's not. Even if the magical island in Pi may even further remind us of […]
Review: 'Hitchcock' Takes A Stab At 'Psycho,' But Clumsily Slips and Hurts Itself
Movie Reviews By Brian Salisbury on November 23, 2012 | Comments (2)Biopics take on a new personality when the subject is an admired figure or, worse still, a personal hero. Alfred Hitchcock's well-deserved moniker, "The Master of Suspense," does little to fully capture the elevated place of regard he holds with cinephiles who count themselves devoted fans, which is to say cinephiles. Sacha Gervasi's Hitchcock narrows the scope of the director's life to the production of arguably his greatest film: Psycho. The film covers the lifespan of Psycho from inspirational inception to the labor pains of production, and finally its glorious delivery. Some may balk at the idea of a Hitchcock biopic covering such a short period of the man's life and indeed only one movie from the intensely prolific director's canon. However, this seemingly reductive approach is actually quite fitting considering the turning point that this one film represented and the inherent metaphors that can then be extrapolated from the production experience. Psycho was one of the riskiest endeavors of Hitch's career. He was nearing the end of his professional life and wasn't commanding as much studio confidence as he once was. It was at this precarious era that he decided to make, and self-fund, a film that not only challenged the conception of Hitchcock as an artist, but indeed changed the landscape of film itself. The studio refusing to fund the movie fed his lifelong insecurity and the tricks employed to sell Psycho to audiences were a function of his overarching commitment to publicity. So yes, the choice to […]
Before we're all full of turkey, mashed potatoes and that experimental vegan dessert Aunt Trina keeps trying to make work, we'd like to take a pre-coma moment out to take stock of what's worth celebrating this Thanksgiving.

To help out, the Rejects — including Rob Hunter, Kate Erbland, Cole Abaius, Christopher Campbell, Kevin Carr, Landon Palmer, Nathan Adams, Robin Ruinsky, Luke Mullen, Caitlin Hughes and Allison Loring — compiled a list of cinematic things to be thankful for. See if you can guess who picked what (spoiler: everything Magic Mike-related is Hunter). Now, let's get to thanking!
Watch: Alfred Hitchcock's Earliest Surviving Movie, 'The White Shadow'
Movie News By Scott Beggs on November 15, 2012 | Be the First To CommentIn 1924, a title designer and budding writer/director named Alfred Hitchcock took the unpublished novel "Children of Chance" and adapted it into The White Shadow for director Graham Cutts. He had worked previously as assistant director and writer under Cutts for 1923's massive success Woman to Woman, and it was these first in a handful of projects for Cutts that led to him directing his first feature in 1925. Until recently, The White Shadow was thought lost, but a discovery in New Zealand and arduous work from the National Film Preservation Foundation have made most of the print available. You can watch it here. Sadly, the print isn't complete, but over 40 minutes have survived that show off the early promise that Hitchcock would later fulfill as a visual genius and a master of suspense storytelling. Plus, the online screening room comes with a ton of detailed information from critic David Sterritt about how the film came about and how, even though it flopped, Hitchcock went on to build a sterling career. It's a huge find and an intriguing piece of film history that we can thankfully see firsthand. Hopefully someone will find the final three reels somewhere, and we'll have a complete experience – a new, old Hitchcock piece to enjoy.
Hitchcock, Bond, Batman and the Ingredients of 'Skyfall'
Features By Christopher Campbell on November 10, 2012 | Comments (4)The Ingredients is a column devoted to breaking down the components of a new film release with some focus on influential movies that came before. As always, these posts look at the entire plots of films and so include SPOILERS. The James Bond series is something of a hub in the course of film and pop culture history. As iconic as it is on its own, it tends to be informed by other material as often as it does the informing. In the beginning, for example, the movies were highly influenced by the works of Alfred Hitchcock. Author Ian Fleming even wished for Hitch to direct the first movie adapted from his 007 novels. And Cary Grant was famously sought for the part of Bond, which would have been interesting had he continued with the second film, From Russia With Love, given how much it calls to mind North by Northwest. Instead, little-known Sean Connery embodied the character, and after the first two installments made the actor famous, Hitch cast him in Marnie. As usual, the director capitalized on a movie star's pre-existing notoriety, his screen value, which makes it quite difficult for us to see Connery's Marnie character, Mark Rutland, as anything but James Bond as a wife-raping publisher. Hitch went another step with his next film, Torn Curtain, which was an admitted direct response to the 007 films. He wrote to Francois Truffaut in 1965: "In realizing that James Bond and the imitators of James Bond were more or less making […]
SFotD: Martin Scorsese Channels Hitchcock for 'The Key to Reserva'
Features By Scott Beggs on October 11, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWhy Watch? This is a two-for-one deal. In 2007, Martin Scorsese – one of the biggest film geeks out there – took three pages of an Alfred Hitchcock movie and decided to "preserve" it by filming it in Hitch's style. Thankfully those pages weren't from a scene where the hero brushes his teeth or buys new shoes or something. The result is played after Scorsese talks to an interviewer about his intentions and what they mean. Thus, it's half documentary, half quick fiction. It's also sadly appropriate to post today because it was shot by the incredible Harris Savides, the DP behind movies like Elephant, Milk and Zodiac. Word is going around that he's died. There's little information on it and no firm news (so if it turns out mercifully to be untrue, it'll be one of the stranger cultural moments of the year). Regardless, it's still a thrill to watch the man's work. Update: Unfortunately, the news of Savides' death is accurate. His talent was immense, and he'll of course be missed. What will it cost you? Only 9 minutes. Skip work. Watch more short films.

They say you shouldn't drink with Death,
and yet I find myself pouring
another glass of amber liquid.
She's quiet, my companion;
doesn't talk much.
It's strange to see her in person
after hearing all the tales
and fables meant to scare
little children and to
put grown men in their places.
She's different than I expected--
lighter, not quite so hidden behind
a gray cloak or embedded in the shadows.
I ask her why she has graced me
with her presence, and she turns her
hooded head in my direction.
Long ivory fingers clutch the glass
and I notice her nails, like mine,
have been gnawed as far down as possible.
She doesn't answer my question--
not that I really thought she would.
The flickering candle between us
melts ever so slowly
as the small flame arches and twists.
It casts a glow on both our faces--
I am surprised to find that,
though not beautiful,
Death is far from the monstrosity
people have made her out to be.
I feel a sort of sympathy for her then.
What would it be like to never
have anyone see you as you truly are?
And this is why, when she stands,
I don't hesitate in rising as well.
She turns to look at me for a moment,
but I can't see the color of her eyes--
shaded behind deception and uncertainty.
I try to smile because I know
this will be okay.
Death, I can tell, needs the company;
and I--
well. I'm not in any place
to deny her what she longs for.
We leave together into
the wavering light
of the coming dawn.
I only glance back once--
the fire of the candle has burnt out;
the bottle of amaretto stands by itself,
a lone soldier left in a forgotten war.
I smirk to myself,
raise the glass to my lips,
and follow my consort
into the rising sun.

When it died again i managed to go to mechanic shop they put new distributer in it $186.00 it made it home died when i parked it and it has not started since.
i bought some books did the koeo test. the books tell what the codes mean but dont tell how to fix it another waste of money. the codes are:

mmafan Posts: 2OK...I have been facing problems with my 02 F150 for a couple weeks now and can't seem to get anywhere. I have pulled the code 1504 IAC circuit malfunction and have replaced the IAC Valve but still pull the code and my truck runs like crap under load when accelerating. When just sitting at idle it's fine and I can rev it up and it never misses. Put her in gear and accelerate and she goes to hesitating and running like crap. The warmer the weather the worse she runs. I have checked all kinds of crap and can't find anything that test bad. Please help me out. What is all included in the IAC circuit? What else should I check? I have 139k miles and just now am I having a problem. The dealership said to replace the IAC so I did and called them back and they said replace the plug...get real...I'm not made of money!!!

connon1 Posts: 15900 miles on it and tonight sitting in the driveway the dealer installed alarm goes off. I check it out and the indash display is lit up. I open the door which turns off all power delay functions then close and lock up only to see the dash power back up by itself! Now what do I do ? Wait til morning and find the battery dead? I sit in the truck for a few minutes with no keys and the power seats start to move and the climate controls start to cycle through the settings.really strange. Anyone out there with similar experiances ? If it starts in the morning then back to the dealer.
emtdawn Posts: 26If you haven't already done so, go out and disconnect the battery cables so that your battery doesn't drain. This of course will also take care of your light problems temporarily.
It might be a glitch in the computer system but it also sounds like a short in the elctrical system. Pray that it's in the computer. Electrical shorts are so darn hard to trace. Make sure you keep tabs on date, time, in case you are dealing with the "Lemon Law" at one point. Good luck,
Dawn -
connon1 Posts: 15Brought into the dealer this AM their subcontractor alarm tech says he believes it's the remote start or even the pager/keyfob itself. He disabled the alarm until I can bring it back for svc. I fully expected to find the battery dead this morning but it atarted right up. If it wasn't pouring last night I would have disconnected the battery. I hope this is the end of it, I waited 10 weeks for this truck and I dont relish the thought of a lemon.

vcansler Posts: 2I have a 99 F-150. One morning I tried to start my truck and all it would do is turn over. After a few tries it started, but after you shut it off again it might start, it might not. We noticed that when you turn the key and the THEFT light is blinking fast it will not start, but when you turn the key and the THEFT light stays on then it will start. Once it starts it runs great. I've heard this is called anti-theft mode. I've also heard that it may not be recognizing the key. What else could cause this or how much would a dealer charge to fix something like this??
Thanks Vicki -
emtdawn Posts: 26Can you sit there when it won't start, and by turning the key again, usually get the truck to start? At any rate, go to Auto Zone, get them to put the machine on the truck and see what codes you get. Sounds like you have a computer that is malfunctioning. Did you notice anything that it might have been doing before this started? Engine light, anything?
emtdawn Posts: 26P0340 Camshaft Position Sensor circuit fault . There is no po-344 code. Now, this may make you feel a little bad... "and I am yelling"... "DID YOU REPLACE THE STUPID SENSOR"???????????? This is bad, this is why your engine is cutting out and this is why your "check engine light is on"... if you don't know how, take it in to the garage and tell them to replace the sensor. Now, that wasn't hard was it. It's causing your computer chip to act up, which is causing your truck to miss. Doesn't matter if it's in intermittent or not.. it "needs to be replaced".
emtdawn Posts: 26Go in to Ford, not the same one that wants $1,500 for the tranie.. have them hook it up to the diagnostic machine. That should give you some error codes that can tell you what might be causing it. If you don't want to go to Ford, take it to Auto Zone.. NOT discount auto..Auto Zone. If you have codes and you don't know what they mean, give me a hollar at my regular email addy. They might not let me post it, so you know the sign for @ and so write to me once you have had it diagnosed.. with code numbers. emtdawn "at" earthlink.net and let me know the numbers of the codes.

gtment Posts: 3I have a 2006 F150, aftermarket remote start. I pushed the remote start today, it started, made a horrible metallic sound, like something broke, which I assumed was the starter. I changed the starter, which was acting up slightly for a few months prior, still won't start. I checked all fuses, they are all ok. I hear the fuel injectors engaging, all the lights work fine. I had an issue with the remote start and the PAS system a few months ago, and learned how to disconnect the remote start. I did that, still won't start, and my arming system is fine, meaning that the vehicle is not armed while I am trying to start. I wonder if the sound I heard was the flywheel teeth breaking?? I looked at the old starter and there are 6 teeth with excessive wear, like a stripped screw. The rest seem decent. Any ideas??? The truck has about 46K miles and my husband is pissed. PISSED. I was a mechanic for several years, and this one has me stuck. I've changed a hundred starters and never had this problem. The new starter bench tested at Oreilly's ok.. but, maybe I'll try checking it myself.. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi all, I've spent hours trudging through the threads on rehydrating dry yeast vs. not rehydrating, and I'm still undecided. So here is my question: Tomorrow I am brewing a beer which I expect to have an OG of 1.070. I have seen many threads that say just sprinkling the dry yeast (Safale US-05 in this case) on the foam after aerating is fine for "normal gravity" beers. Does 1.070 qualify as "normal gravity?" My hunch is that it's a bit higher than "normal." So, what if I just sprinkle TWO packets of yeast on the foam instead of rehydrating? It's not that I'm against rehydrating, but I have some concerns about the timing of the whole thing (not really sure when I should start the rehydration) and the process in general, so I'd much rather just rip the packs open and sprinkle it on there if possible. Thanks! Doug
Hi Doug, this is the best calculator for figuring out how much yeast to use: http://www.mrmalty.com/calc/calc.html for your OG, Mr. malty sais to use about 1.2 packets (11.5 gram dry yeast packets). I've never re-hydrated so I've got nothing to add there, other than all of my beer has turned out great and I've always just sprinkled it on top of the aerated wort...
Start rehydrating 30min before you plan on pitching. It really is painfully easy. Just rehydrated and pitch a single packet, you'll be fine
Dumping your yeast into a cup of water while you're boiling your wort isn't all that hard to do. I sprinkled on the wort when I started then read about rehydrating and started doing that. Can't really say it's made much of a difference, but if something so easy gives my yeast a better chance at a good start, why not?
For the life of me I can't figure out why there's a debate on this issue. First, it's so painfully easy to rehydrate that there really is no excuse for not doing it. It requires no special equipment, and it can be done while awaiting the completion of other steps in the brewing process. Second, both major manufacturers of dried yeast - Fermentis (SafAle) and Danstar - specify rehydration before pitching. To me, that makes the whole thing a no-brainer. Just freakin' do it. Must you do it? Nope. But there's really no excuse. You don't have to change your socks, either. Don't believe me, read the manufacturers' own info.http://www.fermentis.com/FO/pdf/Tips-Tricks.pdfhttp://www.danstaryeast.com/frequently-asked-questionshttp://www.danstaryeast.com/library/...tips-ale-yeast Cheers, Bob
BrewmasterFort Christian Brewpub St Croix, US Virgin Islands
I agree with ya Bob, but I tend to be a "directions" type of guy and at least US-05 says to sprinkle into wort. If I do that, I have one less thing to clean up later
Maybe you can end the debate by splitting the batch. In one half just sprinkle a pack of yeast. In the other add the rehydrated yeast. Then tell us which starts first and turns out better and any difference in FG. That way the next time someone needs advice you can simply be the authority in the matter.

Oct. 26 (Bloomberg) -- Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney said the European sovereign debt crisis poses the biggest threat to economic growth in Canada and will take years to resolve.
"It's certainly the biggest risk that faces the Canadian economy," Carney said at the Buttonwood conference in New York today. While he said he's "quite confident that they will take sufficient steps to contain it," he said that "won't be enough to resolve it."
The Bank of Canada today cut its forecasts for growth through the middle of 2012 amid a weak U.S. economy and a projected recession in Europe. It said the expansion will accelerate more quickly than estimated starting later next year.
In its quarterly Monetary Policy Report, the bank cut its projection for global growth by almost a full percentage point next year, and said the recovery will be slower than what typically follows recessions as consumers, governments and businesses reduce debt.
For Europe to successfully address the crisis, political leaders will need to "level with people about the time scale of what's going on" and "make it clear it will take a few years" to resolve, Carney said. "This is not 'Here's the communique everything's solved, happy days are here again.'"
Even if the crisis is contained, there will be "quite strong deleveraging pressures" on the European financial system which will be felt in the U.S., Canada, and around the world, Carney said. "A bunch of assets are going to come for sale," and it's "quite possible" a lot of them will be U.S. dollar assets, he said.
Global Growth
"That's one reason our global growth forecast for next year is just about 3 percent," he said.
The Bank of Canada yesterday removed a reference to withdrawing stimulus in a statement that may signal Carney will extend his pause on borrowing costs to as late as 2013.
The economy will grow less than projected and take longer to return to its capacity level as weak U.S. growth and a "brief" European recession hurt confidence and reduce export demand, the central bank said after keeping its policy rate at 1 percent. Inflation will also be slower than earlier forecast, falling to as low as 1 percent next year, the Ottawa-based bank said.

Split stay questions
We have a split stay next month and now have decided we may want to fly instead of drive. How easy is it to have Disney transfer your luggage? Does it take very long to receive your luggage? We will arrive at Pop Century for one night then move to the Polynesian. We have breakfast reservations at Ohana the morning we check into the Polynesian. Would it be easiest to take a cab to the Polynesian? How much does a cab from Pop to Poly cost? This is my first time flying and I am nervous about every detail of the trip@ :crazy2:
I have used Disney to move my luggage between resorts many times. It isn't quick though. I hand the bags off no later than 8am, and have never, ever had my luggage at the next resort before 5pm!!!
If you have to go to the Polynesian for breakfast anyway, I would just get a cab and take the bags with me. Then you can check in, and if your room isn't ready, you can leave the bags with Bell Services and have them right there in case you need something out of them that day. I can't say how much the cab fare will be, but it sure would be worth it for the convenience. Otherwise, you are going to have to hand the bags off early...and at Pop that means taking them to the Luggage Assistence people. they are not speedy in their response to coming to the room to get bags!!! Then, they will want to be tipped. Then, you have to get on the bus to MK, then monorail or boat over to the Polynesian....time consuming to say the least. Much easier to get up, grab your bags, go to the front of Pop and have them call you a cab and go directly to the Polynesian. |
We do split stays all of the time and love them. On the morning you are checking out of your first resort, call bell services and they will come up to your room. Tell them what resort you are transferring to and they will tag your luggage and send it off to your new resort. They will also give you a card to claim your luggage when you get to your new resort (bell services can deliver it to your room too, but you have to be there).
They usually do the luggage deliveries in the afternoon, so I would pack a day bag with anything you might need if you re planning on going to the parks/waterparks. We've always gotten our luggage by 3-4pm. A cab from Pop Century to the Polynesian is probably around $20. Hope this helps and enjoy your split stay! |
We did a split stay last year. We had Disney transfer our luggage to our second resort. They told us that it probably wouldn't arrive until after 3pm.
All times are GMT -5. The time now is 08:00 PM. |

Hmmm...seems interesting!!!

With all these new items/removal of MBR are they finally going to fix kog'maw's SR recommended items?
Enfys Ellezard
Xypherous, I love how you have been taking great care of these new items for AD casters and supports while also making those Tenacity items seem useful with its new passive. More Armor pen on hit item is pretty nice but there's one thing we caster really really need as well. AD + Mana Regen item. Because Tiamat and Manamune are very BAD choices, will there be more caster items for AD casters to get that support spamming? Because it sucks running out of mana when the AP casters can just rush Chalice for free perma blue.
Rainbrö Däsh
Why remove cloak and dagger ? It costs half the price of a phantom dancer... which is about 1400... > 2800 The phantom dancer will be nerfed abit (the atk speed and mve speed)... for the unit collision... which is stupid.. most of the adc have some sort of gap closer to avoid units... and wouldn't it benefit a melee oriented champion more since we have ranged attacks... ? That means adc will have a head start on their last whisper... 1400g meaning that you'll get your ga out faster for late game... ?! You remove the green elixir... might as well remove all of the elixirs... i usually get green elixirs after i brought my ie because i wont have the money to finish a phantom dancer... which averages around 16mins(i favour daggers and vamp sep first) if im doing good to complete and 24mins to the latest (thats when im getting kicked in the face)... AD casters are getting better... what the AD who favors auto attacks ? I can see why the black cleaver benefit AD casters more. LISTEN TO THE COMMUNITY. THEY ARE ALL UPSET ABOUT THE HOG REMOVAL AS WELL... Lets see how season 3 plays out.
Undead Thing
Slightly off topic but I feel pseudo important to ask. With the major item overhauls/changes/removals/additions, will recommended builds be altered? Also, will stats like Tenacity/Armor Pen/Magic Pen be a searchable feature under their relative trees? In game, it feels there is room for a 5th category, and I would like to be able to click a button at the store to view all of the available armor pen items, etc. With the addition of 3 buttons, you may encourage players to seek out items they hadn't used before. Edited for clarity; Tenacity would be under defense, armor pen under attack, magic pen under magic. In addition to that, could the new store have a search feature? Type and item name and BAM, there it is. I type faster than I click through a bunch of menu's trying to remember where the hell an item is. It would be very handy not to have to dig through 3 menus to find an item you're looking for.
so u are giving the undiserved classes more options so my hybrid carries will have more options than the 3 items that i must have for them to work woot more diversity item customization is half the fun
New armor penetration calculations, specifically with the new black cleaver, as revealed, grants Darius 100% ArP BEFORE considering flat ArP. (10% ArP from masteries, 40% from Last Whisper, 25% from new Black Cleaver, 25% from abilities) If I remember correctly, ArP that leaves your opponent below zero armor increases damage done to the target. I am going to do some in game tests to do the math, but it seems that before the nerf to flat ArP that you mention in the original post, Darius can deal damage to ANY opponent no matter what armor items they have (except fully stacked leviathan) as if they were sitting at around -40 armor or so. (10 from new black cleaver, 24 from runes, 6 from masteries: -40 total with a potential for more) Call me crazy, but that is a lot of potential damage, essentially making every flat ArP item in the game give a ton of extra AD to Darius especially since all of those items already grant AD to start with. How do you intend on addressing this?
The updates do sound like they would help a bit. But what are you doing in terms of Ap casters? Also what is going to keep these new tweaks from being over bearing? I honestly would like to avoid Dota style instant death. I usually play LoL as a break from Dota because you can play more casually. So how will this new patch effect the casual players?

4 Questions for: Matthew Williamson and Leigh Lezark
So it may have been fate that directly following that post about how to dress for the beach, Matthew Williamson came out with a vacation-ready mini-collection, inspired by downtown-cool It Girl Leigh Lezark. In collaboration with Belvedere's new grapefruit vodka, Williamson yielded two fantastically chic, easy pieces: a silky jumpsuit and a grommeted caftan, both in a breezy palm-leaf print. When paired with a tough studded belt (how Lezark wore the caftan for the launch party the night before), the beachy pieces become seriously cool.
Watch this video, where Williamson and Lezark discuss working together, their favorite vacation spots and how Williamson goes about creating his fantasy-style prints.
