Wouldn't fit my drain and the color didn't match The shaft measured 1-5/8" itself and the lip was too big as well. It's description says it will fit 1-1/4"drains and mine is that inside, plus the hole in the sink is 1-1/2", so this was just too big. The color didn't match my Oil Rubbed Bronze fixtures either, it was more of a copper color.

Great Quality, great price This came as a part of a set containing a faucet and drain. Both of the pieces were exactly as pictured, the color and size were exactly what I was looking for. The cost was incredible and the fact that shipping was free and there was not sales tax made this an outstanding buy. It was delivered quickly and in perfect condition.

Great Excellent quality pop-up drain. The colour of the top part is a little lighter than I thought it would be, but nonetheless, it will look great with the oil rubbed bronze faucet that I bought from Overstock. Can't beat the price for the quality of the product.

Questions & Answers
Hello johnk, we were able to verify that this will fit a 1.75 inch drain hole. Thank you for shopping with us! A.C.
The shaft is 1-5/8" on this product. My drain opening is 1-1/2" so it wouldn't fit. Plus the lip is too thick and makes the product sit too high, causing it to block water leaving the sink.
Do you have a photo of the top of the pop up drain? What color is the top?
Hello franz1970, unfortunately the pictures provided were the only photos that we were given. Thank you for shopping with us!
The top is the same color as the sides. A coppery brown
The description states this is for ceramic, glass or stone vessel countertop sinks. We purchased a hammered copper vessel sink from overstock. Is there any reason why this wouldn't work for that type of sink?
Hello tlms331, keeping in mind that all products have some degree of variability, this drain should work well for you. I hope that helps. Thank you for shopping with us
we have it in a glass sink - but check the size that should go into your sink - i think ours might need an ever so slightly smaller one otherwise it looks awesome
I'm confused, I read the product details on this web page and the drain is listed as fitting 1.25" drain hole but you mention that it fits a 1.75" drain hole. Which is correct? Also, is this drain with or without overflow? thank you
Hello, mbmcc. The correct size hole for this is 1.25 inches. I apologize for the confusion. This does not come with an overflow. Thank you for shopping with us, and have a great day.
Is there any way to remove the VIGO name from the pop-up without damaging the finish?
Thank you for your inquiry regarding the Vigo Oil Rubbed Bronze Pop-up Drain and Mounting Ring. No, I don't believe the Vigo name can be removed from the pop-up without damaging the finish,. I hope this answer helps you.
Does the glass thickness matter? I also purchased the Vigo vessel sink with 5/8" thick glass.
I think this would work, because it has a long throat, that you can tighten, I think that is how thick sinks are. Plus, Vigo to Vigo should work perfectly.
what size is the bottom end of the pipe, 1.25
It fits a 1.75-inch sink drain hole.
Hi, how does the waste work with item number 12745309? Thanks.
The center pops up and the water goes down the drain.
What drain and mounting ring will fit this sink?
This is a pop-up drain and mounting ring. It will fit a 1.75-inch sink drain hole.

How to Install a Bathtub Drain
Bathroom plumbing can seem daunting, but some tasks, like installing a bathtub drain, can be surprisingly simple and easy bath improvement projects. Bathtub drains are designed so that water flows to a low point in the pipe, known as a trap, at which point the heavy sediments settle while the rest of the water travels down the pipe. While this helps your drain to keep from getting clogged and makes cleaning a tub drain easy, sometimes the low point can corrode or generate difficult-to-remove build-up, in which case you will need to replace the bath drain. Tackling the job yourself will greatly reduce your out-of-pocket expenses for this job. Installing a tub drain is moderately easy and should take less than an afternoon.

Benign lesions involving lymph nodes are classified as either lymphadenitis or lymphoid hyperplasia. Lymphadenitis is usually caused by infectious agents such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Table 13-1 lists the most common infectious agents involving this region. Lymphadenitis caused by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are examples. Diseases that may cause extensive necrosis are also classified as lymphadenitis, such as systemic lupus erythematosus and Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD). By contrast, lymphoid hyperplasia is a response to antigenic stimulation without actual lymph node infection. Autoimmune disorders are common causes of lymphoid hyperplasia in the head and neck. There are three general patterns of reactive lymphoid hyperplasia, although many diseases cause a mixture of these patterns: follicular hyperplasia, paracortical hyperplasia, and sinus histiocytosis.[1] Granulomatous disorders do not readily fit within this conceptual framework.
Infectious Agents | Disease |
Epstein-Barr virus | Infectious mononucleosis |
HIV | HIV-associated lymphadenopathy |
Rochalimaea henselae, Afipia felis | Cat-scratch disease |
Toxoplasma gondii | Toxoplasma lymphadenitis |
Infectious Causes of Lymphadenitis or Extranodal Lymphoid HyperplasiaInfectious Mononucleosis
Infectious mononucleosis (IM) is caused by EBV infection.
Clinical FeaturesPatients usually are adolescents and young adults who present with generalized lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, and peripheral blood lymphocytosis. The diagnosis is most easily established by serologic studies.
Pathologic FeaturesHistologically, there is marked paracortical hyperplasia (Fig. 13-1A), although a degree of follicular hyperplasia is present in the early stages of infection.[2,][3] The paracortical regions are markedly expanded by a polymorphous population of cells including small lymphocytes, plasmacytoid lymphocytes, immunoblasts (see Fig. 3-1B), Reed-Sternberg–like cells, histiocytes, and plasma cells; foci of coagulative necrosis may occur. As the paracortical expansion becomes more marked, it overruns lymphoid follicles. In the late stages of infection, the architecture can appear completely effaced, although usually residual follicles or patent sinuses can be identified.
Differential Diagnosis
Of all types of reactive lymphadenopathy, perhaps IM is most likely to be misdiagnosed as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.[3] Features that help prevent this error include the presence of patent sinuses, residual normal architecture (often focal), and the marked heterogeneity of the paracortical infiltrate. The differential diagnoses of IM include both non-Hodgkin's and Hodgkin's lymphomas. Although non-Hodgkin's lymphomas and particularly T-cell lymphomas can be heterogeneous, these tumors are usually composed of a relatively more homogeneous population of cells than is observed in IM. In Hodgkin's lymphoma, the background non-neoplastic cells are a mixed population of cytologically normal, small lymphoid cells intermixed with other benign inflammatory cells, and the spectrum of lymphoid cells of various sizes observed in IM is not present.
Occasionally, a history of EBV infection is known when a lymph node or tonsil biopsy specimen is examined. In this instance, we interpret the histologic findings cautiously, unless the histologic findings are unequivocally malignant.
In situ hybridization studies for EBV small-encoded RNA can be very helpful in establishing the diagnosis (see Fig. 13-1C).[4] Immunohistochemical analysis for EBV latent membrane protein is also helpful,[3] but, in our experience, is less sensitive than assessment of EBV small-encoded RNA. Furthermore, additional immunohistochemical studies can be helpful if the differential diagnosis includes Hodgkin's lymphoma. In IM, the large lymphoid cells are immunoblasts positive for CD45 (LCA) and negative for CD15. By contrast, Reed-Sternberg and Hodgkin cells in Hodgkin's lymphoma are positive for CD15 and negative for CD45. Reactive immunoblasts in IM and Reed-Sternberg and Hodgkin cells in Hodgkin's lymphoma express the CD30 antigen.
In the differential diagnosis of IM and B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, immunohistochemical studies are also helpful because most cells in the expanded paracortex are CD8+ T cells in IM. These studies are less helpful in distinguishing IM from T-cell lymphoma. If flow cytometry immunophenotypic methods are used, the CD8+ T cells of IM may display down-regulation of CD7 and CD5, simulating a T-cell lymphoproliferative disease.[5]
Although T-cell receptor gene rearrangement studies may be helpful in most cases for distinguishing a benign from a malignant T-cell process, IM can transiently give rise to clonally expanded CD8+ T cells, usually detected in an oligoclonal pattern, but appearing with a predominant clone.[6] In difficult cases, follow-up may be necessary to allow the clonally expanded T cells to regress and eventually disappear. It is essential that serologic studies be performed to confirm the diagnosis of IM.
Treatment and PrognosisIM is usually a self-limited infection that resolves in weeks or a few months. Antiviral agents, such as acyclovir and interferon gamma, have been used but their benefit is not well established.
Human Immunodeficiency Virus InfectionPersistent generalized lymphadenopathy is common in HIV-infected patients.[7] Biopsies are most often performed in these patients to exclude treatable infections or malignant neoplasms such as Kaposi sarcoma and malignant lymphoma. Intermediate and high-grade B-cell lymphomas, such as Burkitt's lymphoma or diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) are most common (90%), but Hodgkin's lymphoma and T-cell lymphomas have been reported.[7–9] Primary effusion lymphoma (Kaposi sarcoma–associated herpesvirus/human herpesvirus positive) and plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) of the oral cavity (EBV positive) may also rarely occur.[9] Major salivary glands, especially the parotid glands, can also be enlarged in HIV patients. They are usually bilateral, multiple, cystic, and associated with lymphadenopathy.[10]
Pathologic FeaturesLymph node changes in benign HIV-infected lymph nodes may be arbitrarily divided into general stages.[7] Initially, there is marked reactive follicular hyperplasia. The secondary germinal centers are commonly very large with bizarre shapes, and, in some cases, the surrounding mantle zones may be minimal or absent. As in all forms of follicular hyperplasia, the germinal centers are composed of a heterogeneous mixture of cells, are polarized, and contain many tingible body macrophages. Evidence of follicle lysis may be found. In follicle lysis, small lymphocytes infiltrate the germinal centers, often associated with hemorrhage. Commonly, there is also a marked monocytoid B-cell reaction in the sinuses. The paracortical regions are not prominent.
With time, the lymph node undergoes involution, as manifested by lymphoid depletion. Initially, there is a variable mixture of reactive follicular hyperplasia and lymphoid depletion, with subsequent progression to severe lymphoid depletion. The lymphoid follicles become smaller and depleted of lymphoid cells until only follicular dendritic cells remain. Some of these follicles may resemble the hyaline-vascular lesions of Castleman disease. In the paracortical regions, lymphoid cells are also depleted, leaving plasma cells, histiocytes, and a prominent vascular network. The sinuses are widely patent.
Particularly in the later stages of HIV infection, infectious organisms are likely to be found. For example, the presence of many histiocytes in the paracortical regions suggests Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare infection. Similarly, the likelihood of malignant neoplasms is increased.[7]
Immunohistochemical studies parallel the histologic findings. In the early stages, lymphoid follicles are composed of polytypic B cells and follicular dendritic cells, and the paracortical regions are composed of both CD4++/CD8− and CD4−/CD8++ cells, with the latter predominating.[8,][9] Over time, lymphoid cells are decreased and eventually become absent. Plasma cells express polytypic immunoglobulin (Ig) light chains.
Treatment and PrognosisHighly active antiretroviral therapy, consisting of nucleoside, non-nucleoside, and protease inhibitors, has decreased the incidence of many HIV-associated malignancies. The combination of highly active antiretroviral therapy with novel and more effective chemotherapy has also dramatically improved the overall survival of patients with HIV-related neoplasms.[11,][12]
Cat-Scratch DiseaseThe majority of cases of cat-scratch disease are caused by Rochalimaea henselae, although some also may be caused by Afipia felis.[13,][14]
Clinical FeaturesThe lymphadenopathy of cat-scratch disease is usually unilateral and most commonly involves axillary or cervical lymph nodes.[15–17] Cat-scratch disease usually affects children or young adults, resulting in an enlarged, slightly tender lymph node. The patient may have constitutional symptoms, including fever, malaise, and headache. Most cases are associated with a history of a cat scratch involving the area drained by the lymph node 1 to 4 weeks before the development of lymphadenopathy.
Pathologic FeaturesMorphologically, the lymph node is reactive with follicular hyperplasia, a variable paracortical immunoblastic proliferation, and foci of monocytoid B cells in sinuses. In the paracortex, varying degrees of neutrophil-containing necrosis are also present, which range from granulomas with central necrosis to large stellate abscesses with surrounding histiocytes and fibroblasts (Fig. 13-2). In many cases, rod-shaped bacilli are identifiable within the areas of necrosis by using the Warthin-Starry or Dieterle stain (see Fig. 13-2D).[16–18]
Differential Diagnosis
The lymphadenopathy of tularemia and lymphogranuloma venereum are morphologically similar to that of cat-scratch disease. Although lymphogranuloma venereum, a sexually transmitted disease caused by Chlamydia species, usually involves inguinal lymph nodes, cervical lymph node involvement may occur. Tularemia usually involves axillary lymph nodes and is seen after exposure to rabibits. The presence of neutrophils in these diseases helps eliminate Kikuchi's disease from the differential diagnosis. Although microabscesses can be seen in Hodgkin's lymphoma, Reed-Sternberg and Hodgkin cells are not observed in cat-scratch disease.
Treatment and PrognosisCat-scratch disease is a self-limited infection that does not require specific therapy.
Toxoplasma LymphadenitisToxoplasma lymphadenitis is caused by infection with Toxoplasma species, usually Toxoplasma gondii. Humans are exposed via contact with infected animal feces.
Clinical FeaturesPatients with Toxoplasma lymphadenitis usually present with one or a single group of enlarged lymph nodes, most commonly in the posterior cervical region. However, fever and generalized lymphadenopathy develop in a subset of patients.[19,][20]
Pathologic FeaturesHistologically, Toxoplasma lymphadenitis can be reliably recognized if a triad of three histologic findings is identified: florid reactive follicular hyperplasia, clusters of epithelioid histiocytes found within the germinal centers of reactive follicles, and a monocytoid B-cell reaction in the sinuses (Fig. 13-3).[19,][20] If all three findings are present, serologic studies are usually positive for Toxoplasma antibodies.[20]Toxoplasma cysts or intracellular trophozoites are rarely found in lymph node biopsy specimens.
Differential Diagnosis
A variety of other infectious disorders may cause histologic changes similar to Toxoplasma lymphadenitis. Most commonly, these disorders cause an extensive monocytoid B-cell reaction and reactive follicular hyperplasia.[21] Therefore, the presence of epithelioid histiocytes within the germinal centers of follicles is the most specific finding of the triad. Rarely, infections other than toxoplasmosis, such as HIV infection and leishmaniasis, may cause reactive follicular hyperplasia, a sinusoidal monocytoid B-cell reaction, and the presence of paracortical epithelioid granulomas that can also be found in germinal centers.[21] Usually, the granulomas are associated with necrosis and acute inflammatory cells. Granulomas and necrosis are usually not features present in Toxoplasma lymphadenitis.
Although histologic findings can be very helpful in suggesting the presence of toxoplasmosis, serologic studies should be routinely recommended to definitively establish the diagnosis.
Treatment and PrognosisThe infection is usually self-limited in immunocompetent adults and older children, and no specific therapy is required. Immunodeficient patients require antibiotic therapy directed against the parasite.

It's one of THOSE days, where I feel like throwing up.
Ugh, ugh, ewwwww I feel icky. I want to lay down and sleep... But I can't. Maybe if I throw up, she won't have to come over, and then I can just play the new games my dad bought me today. Yeahhhh.
I'm lonely. I want a girlfriend. I want someone to snuggle wuggle with me T___T
I suppose I should stop complaining now... Except my father makes it IMPOSSIBLE to de-stress myself because all he ever does IS SIT IN THE LIVING ROOM AND WATCH WHATEVER I AM DOING.
Which PISSES me off, because I like being alone, I get so angry and violent whenever I can't just be ALONE. Argh! I can only stand being around people, especially men (No offense guys) for so long... DX
Men are starting to kill me at school. I have so many buddies that I'm beginning to feel very NOT alone. I like that, but... I wish girls "clicked" with me more. I have not enough girlfriends, and more guy friends. It makes my weekends SO lonely...
Sad face. I need hugs today.
Try not to be down! Smile! Things will get better in due time. :)
Your comment made me smile, that's for sure X3333

text: Touchstone: A Journal of Mere Christianity "Unmoored Sticks" first appeared in the March 2003 issue of Touchstone. Unmoored Sticks The lust of the eyes, as St. John the Theologian calls it, might be called the sin du jour. Ours is a visual society. Advertisements, television, movies, billboards, posters, Internet pop-up windows: Never before has mankind been bombarded by so many visual images whose chief aim is to attract our attention. Ours is the culture that excels above all others as a producer of things that appeal to the visual imagination. Yet it is the development of the Internet that has brought the worst of the lust of the eyes—explicit pornography—into every American household. In a survey of pastors, 40 percent said that they had visited a pornographic website, and 37 percent said that this is a current struggle for them (Leadership Journal, Winter 2001). This is just from those pastors willing to admit such things. It is unlikely that the struggles among the laity are less profound. Our Lord said, "And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire" (Matthew 18:9). But so much has the "lust of the eyes" become engrained in our culture that such old Christian values seem prudish and outdated, even to otherwise morally upright believers. Consider John Chrysostom's comments on the words of Christ: Chrysostom equated theatergoers with adulterers, using Christ's standards set forth elsewhere in the Sermon on the Mount. Fourth-century theaters were often rather bawdy, but they probably weren't terribly explicit by our standards, since although there were female roles, there were no female actors. But to John, theatergoers were those who, for entertainment, set their eyes (and minds) on things unchaste, and they were the ones he thought of as having "offensive eyes." John was a prude. And a saint. (It is funny how often those traits run together.) He went on to say that just as we sever relationships with those who do us ill, so too should we treat theatergoers, for such people might draw us into the same net of sin. That is, just as we should pluck out an offensive eye or cut off an offensive hand, so too should we remove ourselves from such bad influences. Among the church fathers, John Chrysostom was hardly alone in this view. So why does he seem like such a stick-in-the-mud? Perhaps it is because we have become unstuck and have lost our moorings. Few people in our culture have not been exposed to unseemly visual images. In fact, 44 percent of children polled in a 2000 Time/CNN survey admitted to having visited X-rated sites or sites with sexual content. Not surprisingly, 43 percent of children surveyed—nearly the identical number—said they do not have rules about Internet use in their homes. In dealing with this problem, perhaps the place for us to start is to establish rules for our children, and rules for ourselves. Not just rules in a legalistic sense (although that might be a good idea), but rules in a religious sense: rules of life. We need to think of how we wish to live as Christians every day, and form that into a rule such that it becomes a way of life for us. There are many excellent old sources of Rules available, but then again, these seem rather outdated for our sophisticated age. We wouldn't want to be called a prude or, worse yet, a saint, now would we? Thomas S.

After checking out Iao Valley, we drove down the road and went to Kepaniwai Park's Heritage Gardens. If you have a good memory you remember in my last post that the Battle of Kepaniawai was a bloody mess and there were so many dead bodies that the Iao Stream got all blocked up. Kepaniawai means "damming of the waters." You'd never know that this was such a violent area in the past, though. Now it's a beautiful, peaceful park that showcases Maui's diverse heritage with ethnic houses and gardens representing the Hawaiian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Caucasian and Filipino cultures.
Richard Tongg designed the park in 1952. Donna, Dustin, Dallas and I spent some time just walking around the park, through the banyans, checking out all the different statues and houses.
At some point we started standing in front of houses that represented our ethnicities. For example, here are Donna, Dustin and Dallas all in front of a thatched-roof Hawaiian hale (meeting house) because they are each part Hawaiian.
Here's a Caucasian New England "Salt Box" house.
And here is me in front of the Caucasian New England "Salt Box" house.
Dallas is half Korean.
I guess these Lions were part of the Korean garden. Donna tried to set it up so we both stood by the lions and faced our heads like they were, but Dallas refused to cooperate.
Dallas, Donna and Dustin (missing!) are all part Japanese.
No one posed by the Chinese house, but Dustin should have.
Found this guy in the bamboo forest behind the Chinese house.
And then here's a Filipino house.
None of us are Filipino.
And finally, a Portuguese villa.
Donna might be a little Portuguese. I can't remember. And she didn't do her posing, so maybe not.

Shanghai Maxim Invests in Cyrel® FAST for Flexographic Platemaking
DuPont Packaging Graphics has installed a Cyrel® FAST Plate making system at Shanghai Maxim Garment Accessories Co. Ltd. The system consists of a Cyrel® FAST TD 1000 processor and a 1000 ECLF finishing unit.
Established in Taiwan in 1973, the Maxim Group produces hang tags, woven labels, price tickets, bar code stickers, and other types of labels for the apparel and retail industries. The company has grown through a reputation for quality products and quick, reliable service and today employs more than 1,100 people at facilities in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Viet Nam and China (Shanghai, Shenzen, Qindao).
A key component of quality tags and labels is high quality printing. In 2007, Shanghai Maxim was operating a water washable flexographic in-house platemaking facility, as well as sourcing plates from a local digital trade shop that had recently installed a DuPont™ Cyrel® FAST thermal platemaking system.
Faced with growing demand, and located in the Shanghai business district, facility management set a goal of expanding their platemaking capacity while eliminating solvents from their process. After researching their alternatives, they chose DuPont™ Cyrel® FAST.
"Maxim Group has grown through quality products and excellent customer service," said Ted Zhi, sales manager, DuPont Packaging Graphics - Greater China. "We are very happy to have met the company's growing needs through the Cyrel® FAST portfolio."
DuPont™ Cyrel® FAST is a revolutionary technology that uses dry thermal technology for plate imaging, completely eliminating the need for conventional solvents and aqueous washout solutions in the platemaking process. In addition to the obvious environmental benefits, Cyrel® FAST offers enhanced pressroom productivity by reducing plate ready time to less than one hour; a reduction of up to 75 percent.
The environmental benefits of flexography and Cyrel® FAST are documented by the recent Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) conducted by a third party and sponsored by DuPont Packaging Graphics. The LCA shows reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and non-renewable energy consumption for flexography and Cyrel® FAST compared to gravure and solvent processing.
"We are committed to providing our customers with a fast, efficient, sustainable plate making option," said Vijay Ramachandran, marketing manager, DuPont Packaging Graphics - Asia Pacific. "We will continue to invest in innovation and technology that helps our customers maintain their competitive advantage.
The Cyrel® FAST system is available in two formats, 35"x 47" and 42"x 60", to handle a wide variety of applications ranging from labels to wide web flexible packaging. Both systems deliver the same outstanding plate quality and uniformity.
About DuPont DuPont (http://www.dupont.com) is a science company. Founded in 1802, DuPont puts science to work by creating sustainable solutions essential to a better, safer, healthier life for people everywhere. Operating in more than 70 countries, DuPont offers a wide range of innovative products and services for markets including agriculture, nutrition, electronics, communications, safety and protection, home and construction, transportation, and apparel.

Rodjen kao ratnik (born to be a warrior)
Rodjen kao ratnik (Eng: Born to be a warrior) is a cult movie from the nineties. One of those "so bad it's good" movies, to this day it remains a mystery how and why this movie was made. I would do a review, but I can't do a better one than guys over at the Internal Bleeding site. Instead of a review, observe the main movie feature: cock push-ups.

Bags can be a quick project and always a useful gift. Both of these bags come together really quickly:

Can you tell me how you closed your journal cover. I see a button and loop but cannot tell what the loop is made from? I know it is last minute, but I am going to tr to whip one of these up for my daughter. She wanted a new journal and I have not found one that looked like her. I love that she can reuse the cover on notebooks! Thanks for the help. Barb C.
ReplyDeleteBarb - I used a little piece of elastic. (Mine came from the elastic piece that holds kids' shoes together at Target!) I've also seen people use nylon hair elastics too. Hope that helps. Good luck!
Nicki - I used the most basic apron pattern and just embellished with the ruffles on top. The pattern in this tutorial (http://www.sewingideas.com/downloadables/ChefApron.pdf) would work - just reduce it to a child's size. Don't add all the pockets, just attach ruffles to the front (I topstitched them on.) Good luck!
Thank you so much for your comments - they make my day! I try to respond to as many as my 'mommy' time allows, but life sometimes gets in the way. Please know how much I appreciate each of them.
I apologize for the current comment settings that require a registered user account. They are the only way that I don't get tons of gross spam. I'm hoping Blogger will make a way where people who are not registered users, but would like to leave a comment can do so. Please, Blogger! In the mean time, thanks for your patience.
I also love to respond to questions. If you are a no-reply blogger, please leave an email address so I can get back to you. Or you can email me directly: amy @ diaryofaquilter.com. Thanks!

Directivity Plot for Willow Creek M5.4
Both the PGA and PGV rupture directions indicate the west dipping plane as the fault plane, but the PGV rupture direction is much closer to the nodal plane. The resolution of the rupture velocity is limited by the lack of recordings in the rupture direction: both inversions limit the rupture velocity (ν ≡ 0.92β). The nodal planes are projected on the upper hemisphere. All the stations used are within 125 km of the fault.
The residual PGAs and PGVs are plotted on whole stereonets. Symbols indicating the amplitude of the residual peak ground motions are plotted at the azimuths and vertical takeoff angles of the S-waves. Orange circles indicate amplified ground motions; green crosses indicate deamplified ground motions. Because we restrict the station distance, most takeoff angles are vertically upward, but the takeoff angles to the more distant stations can be slightly downward. The thick magenta lines show the rupture direction. The longer the line, the more horizontal the rupture direction. Upward rupture directions end in arrows; downward rupture directions end in stars. The thin magenta lines around the rupture directions enclose the 2σ uncertainty areas: these uncertainty areas can extend into both the upper and lower hemispheres. The blue lines show the nodal planes of the Berkeley Seismological Laboratory Moment Tensor, which are projected onto the upper or lower hemisphere, depending on the rupture direction. The sets of three numbers indicate the strike and dip of the nodal plane and the angle between the rupture direction and the nodal plane. If you are unfamiliar with nodal planes and stereoscopic projections, there is an excellent explanation titled Fault Plane Solutions. Remember that nodal planes are determined from P-wave first motions, while the directivity is determined from S-wave peak motions.

During the meeting, Madison Nuss was honored as the instrumental music student of the year, and Benjamin Shadik, Jake Cross, Meagan Ferzo, Jared Montgomery and Nuss were acknowledged as the vocal music students of the year. All are seniors, expect for Montgomery, who is a junior. Fraser has a Performing Arts Center inside the high school.
FHS Band Director James Rodgers said Nuss has always been very "involved" and has "made tremendous contributions to the program through leadership and musicianship."
Nuss, who plays a variety of instruments, has left her mark on the school's marching band and symphonic band. She's also a member of the Fraser Singers, and according to Rodgers, the talented musician "consistently" earned superior ratings at local Michigan School Band & Orchestra Association competitions.
"In 2012, she earned a nomination to perform in the All-State Honors Band," said Rodgers, adding Nuss is on the FHS tennis team and in the National Honor Society. With a 3.62 grade point average, Rodgers said Nuss will pursue music education at Wayne State University.
"I want to be a high school band director," she said.
During the meeting, FHS vocal music teacher Pasquale Pascaretti recognized all five students and offered insight into their accomplishments and plans.
"Meagan, she is an outstanding alto, an outstanding performer," Pascaretti said. "She's going to be a nurse. She also is a musician. Meagan is the kind of (student) you say, 'Oh yes, I want her in my group.' Meagan is going to Oakland."
Pascaretti said Cross will study vocal music education at WSU and Shadik will major in music at Central Michigan University. He added Montgomery was selected to perform at the Michigan Youth Arts Festival this year.
According to www.fraservocal music.weebly.com, Montgomery received a score of
119 out of a possible 120 at the state festival to qualify. This year's Michigan Youth Arts Festival was held May 9-11 at Western Michigan University.
During the meeting, School Board President Gerard Gauthier asked the students what was the highlight for them attending FHS.
"I've been here all four years so a highlight is kind of tough," Cross said.
"I think the last concert will be the culmination of it all," Shadik said. "That will be great.'
As members of the Fraser Singers, the students recently joined with other school choirs from throughout the country for a performance of the National Youth Choir at Carnegie Hall in New York City.

GPS – more than just directions.
Maybe you've only used GPS to get from point A to B. But GPS can do a lot more than just give you directions. Crew Chief™ powered by Telogis® uses GPS technology to revolutionize the way you manage your fleet, helping you to cut costs and boost productivity.
GPS works by using a GPS receiver (or "black box") that hides under the dashboard, so all your fleet vehicles can be tracked in real-time. The data is collected, stored and processed using a web-based application from Telogis that converts all your fleet data into an easy-to-use dashboard and meaningful customizable reports.
Crew Chief can be factory-installed with any of the following new Ford trucks purchased through your local Ford dealership: F-150, Super Duty, E-Series and Transit Connect. Crew Chief is also available for retro-fitting on your existing fleet vehicles.
It's what you know that makes the difference.
You can't manage what you're not measuring. Crew Chief™ powered by Telogis® changes all that. With detailed vehicle metrics on a wide range of attributes from airbag faults to oil life remaining, nothing will escape your notice.
Monitoring vehicle metrics can save your fleet a lot of money, helping you to avoid expensive mechanical failures or unsafe working conditions that can be a huge liability. For example, sensors can detect and alert you to water in the fuel tank. Water is incredibly damaging to diesel engines, corroding injectors and quickly causing irreparable damage. Early detection is your best form of protection, as even water separators are not always effective.
Another metric is excessive idling. Idling gets 0 mpg and is often needless and wasteful. Some fleets have saved thousands of dollars by knowing which drivers and vehicles were idling excessively.
For the full list of vehicle metrics you can measure, monitor and manage, see Editions.
Oil Life (% remaining)
With oil life monitoring you'll know if a vehicle is in need of a service, promoting trouble-free motoring and less downtime.
Tire Pressure
Real-time alerts when the tire pressure warning light is activated. Low tire pressure can reduce fuel economy and affect vehicle handling.
Driver Insurance (expiring)
Keep tabs on your driver's insurance expiration dates, ensuring you are operating in compliance.
DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Code)
Maintaining the health of your fleet is always a priority. Remotely manage your vehicles with real-time visibility into the DTCs.
Engine Coolant Temperature
Real-time monitoring and alerts for a vehicle's engine temperature allows you to save on costly mechanical issues, such as poor fuel economy with engines that are too cold or broken thermostats and cooling systems in engines that are running too hot.
Water in Fuel (diesel only)
Water is incredibly damaging to diesel engines, corroding injectors and quickly causing irreparable damage. Early detection is your best form of protection, as even water separators are not always effective.
Excessive RPM
Excessive RPMs, particularly when performed over an extended period of time, not only waste a lot of fuel but can also shorten the life of the vehicle and contribute to more frequent servicing and parts replacement.
Safety Belt
Stay on top of fleet safety with real-time alerts and reporting on driver safety belt use. Helpful for proving driver safety records and investigating infringements or vehicle accidents.
Get an instant alert for an airbag fault, indicating an urgent problem that requires attention. Assist managers to enhance fleet safety and manage employer liability.
Monitor a vehicle's battery voltage. Get instant alerts for a draining battery with low voltage to make sure you're never stranded.
Excessive Idling
With detailed driver idling reports you'll know which drivers are idling excessively and for how long.
Record each vehicle's VIN number to assist in stolen vehicle recovery. This also saves time when entering fleet details as vehicle information such as make, model and engine size is recorded automatically.
Driver License (expiring)
Store and record your team's driver license expiration dates, ensuring your team is driving with valid and current licenses.
Hard Acceleration/Braking
Hard Acceleration/Braking is an indicator of driver behavior. Measure 'hard' braking events and send alerts/ reports to key stakeholders as part of the Safety Program.
Features born in the real world.
Crew Chief™ powered by Telogis® is a telematics solution that doesn't have its head in the clouds. It was developed by a company in-touch with the real needs of fleet managers and the challenges they face everyday. It's a solution packed with features that are designed, developed and thoroughly tested right alongside real users.
It's web-based so there's no software to install or upgrade and no backups to be made. It has clever features to help you cope with information overload, such as spatial clustering (to easily group vehicles) and fast access to individual vehicles. Automated reporting and a user-defined alerts system mean you can "set and forget", and still have your finger on the pulse.
Find Closest Capable Driver
Custom Map Overlays
Crew Chief allows custom map overlays to suit your specific business needs. It is compatible with common external GIS applications such as ESRI, and comes with relevant Points Of Interest such as power lines, sewer lines and land use.
Fuel Efficiency Module
Monitor real-time fuel tank levels, the fuel consumed by each vehicle and fuel purchases. Compare against average, or expected, fuel efficiency. Fuel card reconciliation reports make it easy to identify theft or card misuse.
Satellite Imagery
Enjoy the most current and comprehensive satellite earth imagery commercially available, with new images being collected and uploaded every day. Helpful to verify landmarks and provide context for mapped locations.
Real-time Alerts
Valuable business insights at the right time. Get instant alerts for a wide-range of vehicle or driver metrics, such as speeding, unauthorized use, low fuel and oil levels, excessive idling or urgent maintenance.
Turn-by-turn Directions
Enjoy maximum route efficiency as drivers are guided by voice-prompted, turn-by-turn directions to their next job.
Fast Mapping
With the industry's fastest web-based mapping system and patent-pending clustering you'll have easy visualization of thousands of assets on a single screen.
Powerful Automated Reports
Includes a suite of 50+ powerful reports ranging from detailed to high level. Schedule saved reports with one click or set them up to be emailed automatically to your team in the format of your choice.
Speeding Alerts
Be alerted when any of your employees drive over the posted speed limit. History reports help validate your fleet's improved safety record and can often reduce insurance premiums up to 15%.
Fleet, Driver & Team Management
Know exactly when your drivers start their shifts, where they are, how many stops they make and what time they complete their routes. Re-route drivers in real-time to save valuable fuel and time.
Search! quickly finds any vehicle, driver, location or tagged group, improving asset utilization and making fleet management more efficient.
Insurance Savings
Fleets can qualify for an immediate discount of up to 15% with a participating insurance carrier when buying a commercial auto policy. Safe driving discounts of up to 40% off participating carrier rates are available with subsequent policy renewals.
Animated Vehicle History Trails
Animated routed history trails delivering more accurate vehicle history. Multiple vehicle history can be shown simultaneously on the same map view and replayed at different speeds.
Maintenance Reporting
Sophisticated tracking of service history for individual vehicles. Automatic alerts can be set up to instruct fleet managers when to schedule preventative maintenance.
The toolbox that grows with your business.
Crew Chief™ powered by Telogis® recognizes that not all commercial fleets have the same business needs, so offers a range of options to let you choose what suits you best, and grows as your needs change.
Crew Chief can be fitted to your existing fleet vehicles but when installed on selected Ford vehicles (such as pre-ordered Fords from your local Ford dealership) you get even more. Gain additional insight into vehicle performance including airbag faults, tire pressure and oil life percentages (see the Ford Advantage logo below for more).

Thanks. As for me using BLFS as a scapegoat and excuse-bed, I understand that I am the only source of delays. But do you really expect me to verify all packages before the next release? Or is this LFS/BLFS release going to be delayed just because of that? For the Wiki: I was going to add the Lynx page today. But I didn't, and won't add anything (because I don't want to call anything tested while it really isn't) until I resolve iconv issues in my uClibc-based HLFS build or get explicit permission from HLFS developers to ignore this configuration. To make long story short (I was going to report it after investigaing possible solutions): echo A | iconv -f UTF-8 -t XXX For XXX being ISO-8859-{4,5,6,7,8,9} or KOI8-R, the printed result is not "A" but "?A" which is incorrect (note: ASCII-only breakage!). This means that the core character conversion functionality is broken in uClibc-based HLFS (and please don't say "we don't care about converting text from UTF-8 encoding" because some packages, e.g. GTK2, work by always manipulating UTF-8 text and later converting to locale encoding). -- Alexander E.

Thankyou, David Davis
"The corollary of the Big Society is the smaller state. If you talk about the small state, people think you're Attila the Hun. If you talk about the Big Society, people think you're Mother Teresa."
The disputed, unguarded but illuminating comment above attributed to David Davis neatly captures the truth of David Cameron's Big Society. It's cover for Big Cuts. End of.
Dave the Hun may not be as bloodthirsty as Attila but he's more Maggie Thatcher than Mother Teresa.
12 Comments
Mother Theresa was an unfairly wicked witch, at least Attila was a pretty straight kind of guy.
Poor Dave Davis - PR is Chameleon's suit, not his ....
You should really be thanking David Davis for not winning the Tory leadership in 2005, because if he had, we'd have a real Conservative government today.
RE: HE'S SPARTACUS - I think the point is that we do have a real Conservative gov (Atillia the Hun) but it's disguised as a nice fluffy one (Mother Theresa)
Is it true,Squealer, that the notorious "Bullyingdon Club" is playing a "very active" part in selecting the new Liebour leader? Just thought I would ask after reading rumours on the internet????? Look forward to hearing from you!
Why pick on the jobless while cutting jobs?
"cover for Big Cuts"?
Hope so.
Bring em on.
Who cares!!! My boyfriend thinks the same with me. He is eight years older than me, lol. We met online at Agelessmatch.com, a nice and free place for Younger Women and Older Men, or Older Women and Younger Men, to interact with each other. Maybe you wanna check out or tell your friends.

Is a steady growth in the sales of Office applications, and that people are embracing Office in the cloud with great enthusiasm.
Nice hosting! It's my first time to read like this article.gbrs
I'm not sure where you're getting your information, but good topic. I needs to spend some time learning much more or understanding more. Thanks for great info I was looking for this info for my mission.

Gas station attendants are responsible for taking money from customers making purchases from a gas station. In addition to fuel, customers may be purchasing food, toiletries, lottery tickets, and other items. Attendants may also be responsible for filling customers' gas tanks in states that do not allow self-service; in this case, they activate fuel pumps and fill fuel tanks with gasoline or diesel fuel to the amount the customer requested. Gas station attendants also clean the inside and outside of the store, including pick up trash and dispose of it properly. They frequently work outside during inclement weather, which may include rain, snow, and hot weather. They also order new stock when necessary and stock or rotate items on the shelves. The end of the shift involves calculating total payments received during the shift and tallying up total sales received.
Read More...Typical Gas Station Attendants report a focused set of job skills. Cash Handling and Customer Service are considered valuable skills and can increase employee pay. Employees educated in Cash Handling are typically practiced in Customer Service, too.

What is Thought Catalog's mission?
We want to support freedom of speech, empower writers and readers on their own terms, and make Thought Catalog an online magazine that represents the worldviews and rhetorical styles of as many people as possible.
Why is your slogan "all thinking is relevant"?
Thought Catalog works for the same reason that the Internet works. We're an open and non-hierarchical platform. Anyone can use Thought Catalog to articulate their ideas and stories to the world. No one is excluded from the conversation. The "all thinking is relevant" slogan embodies our networked approach to writing and content production. If you think something and want to tell the world, then it's relevant and appropriate for Thought Catalog.
If all thinking is relevant, does that mean the writing on Harper's and the writing on Thought Catalog are equal?
"All thinking is relevant" doesn't imply that all thinking is "good" or "high-quality." It only means that all thinking has a strand of resonance, and therefore every act of expression serves a purpose. Sometimes the purpose is merely to remind someone they aren't alone in what they think; other times it's to expose them to unfamiliar ways of thinking. Often the purpose is nothing more than to briefly entertain, but sometimes it's to shed light on serious issues that affect the whole world. On Thought Catalog, relevance is social and determined by the contributors and audience, not some cultural gatekeeper or moral arbiter.
Do you allow writers to publish under pseudonyms?
Anonymity is a double-edged sword. It can make us less accountable and less empathetic to the impact of our actions. By freeing us from consequences, it can bring out the worst in us. But anonymity can also be liberating. Ventriloquism can expand our creative horizons by allowing us to experiment with different identities or provide a safe space to talk about sensitive issues. At Thought Catalog, we accept pseudonyms and anonymous submissions but discourage hiding behind a mask merely for the sake of hiding.
Why do you publish offensive content?
We're an open platform and try not to filter any of the posts, although illegal content and visual pornography aren't permitted.
What is the community reporting function?
We don't believe in censorship. However, we do believe in community moderation to boost the integrity of the Thought Catalog network. Everyone has an equal opportunity to publish on Thought Catalog, but once published, readers can use the community reporting function at the top of a post to bury it. To report an article click the flag at the top of all articles.
How do I contribute to Thought Catalog?
Fill out the submission form. If you don't hear back from anyone, try reaching out to your favorite contributor. If all else fails, email the publisher. Operational limitations often lead to submissions never making it to the site, but if you're persistent (and polite), we'll do our best to get it live for you.
Who runs Thought Catalog?
The Thought & Expression Co., an independently owned and operated U.S media organization. Chris Lavergne is the Publisher and Founder.
Are you hiring? Can I send you my resume?
Many of our staff were active on the site either as a community contributor or in the comments section. So the best way to get our attention is to submit your stories and ideas here. If you want to apply for a business position, explain why you want to work for Thought Catalog and your core competencies.

Just add leather
It's been a good few years since the leather motorcycle jacket resurged as a wardrobe staple, and it's steadily maintained its appeal ever since. The best thing about a worn-in leather biker jacket is that you can throw it over a feminine dress – like Jennifer Humphrey at a go-go has done here – for an instant injection of defeminised toughness.
