If you've already broken your Traxxas 1/16 E-Revo or Slash, we're going to be stocking a ton of replacement parts. From Wheels, Servos, Replacement Bodies to suspension parts...we will have you covered!
Give us a few days to get this stuff up on the site, we got a TON of it!
Jay Huskey, Media & Development
When I came in this morning I thought I may have spoken too soon about the lack of 2.4GHz Mini-Z ReadySets...But what I laid my eyes on was a 2.4Ghz MA-010 AWD Chassis with the new Endless Lancer body already installed! Not quite a Readyset, but definitely a step in the right direction.
John should have these up on the site soon, ready for purchase!
Ever wonder why Kyosho doesn't offer any 2.4GHz Readysets? Check out my latest video for a look at what it takes to put together a 2.4GHz MR-02 and MA-010 AWD "Readysets"
It's really not that hard...I know you can do it!

The Pro-Line Ambush CGR body we're sporting on our Axial SCX10 is Great, but we wanted to change the look of the truck a bit. We decided to go with HPI's Land Rover Defender 90 1/10 Scale body. This body is specifically made for the HPI Savage, but we think it looks more at home on this chassis. We're still getting all the new bodies up on the site so if you don't see what you're looking for, check back soon.

We get a lot of phone calls from folks wondering if this certain strange part or configuration will work on their XMOD or Mini-z. We can pretty much help you with any question you have, but as good as we are here at AtomicMods we still don't have the answer for everything! (I know, shocking isn't it?)
If you're looking to chat with like-minded RC guys, searching for a hard-to-find XMOD part, or looking to share ideas, photos and opinions on that XMODS Rock Crawler you've been working on...XMODRC is the place to be! Click on the photo below for a link to the Forum. You can also find a link to the forum in the site menu on the upper left corner of our site.
I had a chance to get my Tamiya Jeep Wrangler CC-01 and our Axial SCX10 out on the rocks at Canyon Lake, Texas this past weekend. The SCX10 is just as scale as it is capable on the rocks and I had a lot of fun trying its limits. I snapped a few shots of our SCX10 sporting an HPI Land Rover Defender 90 Lexan body which I painted for it last week. I also filmed the painting process and will have a video of that up on our YouTube channel soon.
We are now carrying a full selection of scale lexan shells from HPI, Axial, and Pro-Line for the SCX10.
Here's a couple of shots from this weekend.
The new Traxxas Mini E-Revo has supplied us with some great filming opportunities, and you can bet this won't be the last Mini E-Revo video we produce.
This latest video features the Traxxas mini beast hitting a ramp at over 40MPH and back flipping over two Jeeps! You gotta see it to believe it! Click on the photo below to check out the video link.
I wanted to let everyone know that phone orders and tech help will be closing at 3:00pm CST on Friday July 3rd, but don't worry, you can still get all your XMODS and Mini-Z parts online 24/7, 365! I hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday weekend!
I'm happy to inform you that we have some RCP Link-N-Rocks on the way to us. If you have seen a shot of our track from the shop cam you'll notice that we've reconfigured it a bit so the infield is wide open. That will be the new home of our RCP pre-fabed rocks!
In addition to RCP's track products, they are in process of manufacturing modular rocks for the RC crawling industry. The rocks can be used for in store display of RC crawling trucks, in store demo purposes of RC crawling trucks and set up for RC rock crawling competition courses. They can be used in the home, office, hobby store or corporate/trade show event. They are rated for both indoor and outdoor use and weigh less than 8 lbs per rock pod.
The rocks are made through a special process that gives the texture a realistic look and feel. The rocks offer excellent grip for all types of RC crawling rubber tires. There's nothing like being able to test out your suspension setup "indoors" before you hit the rocks at the comp!

I agree that Leilani is no more of a mouthful than Layani, they're still both three syllables. Out of all of the names you mentioned, Leilani is by far my favorite. I really, really strongly dislike Leiani, Leiarni, and Laarni. If you do choose to invent something, Layani and Layarni look the best, but still aren't very pleasant looking or sounding to me. What about Leila, Laila, or Layla? It's a real name that means "night" in Arabic, and was the name of a main character in a series of romantic poems that became popular in Arabia and Persia.

Out of the spellings you've suggested, I would choose Layani, as I think this is the simplest way to get to the pronounciation you want. However you probably won't find much support for creative spellings on this site!
One name that sounds similar to Layani is Leonie (Lee-oh-nee), which is still unusual and very pretty.
Alternatively, Leiarna could be substituted for Leona (Le-oh-na), Liana/Lianna or Leana/Leanna (Lee-ah-na).Girls: Alice, Anna, Astrid, Beatrice, Clara, Elodie, Emily, Evelyn, Hannah, Hermione, Lorna, Phoebe, Sophie, Sylvia
Boys: Andrew, Arthur, Elliot, Griffin, Hamish, Henry, Leopold, Martin, Peter, Robin, Rupert, Thomas, Tobias, William
Guilty Pleasures: Athena, Damaris, Digory, Emrys, Ganymede, Hester, Jessamine, Phineas, Myrtle, Nymeria, Nyx

I would keep Leilani but come up with an easier nickname.
Lily, Laney/Lani, Leila.
I agree as the alliteration is not for everyone.
What about Noelani? It's pretty similar.
and btw berries are name purists so this would be the wrong place to be asking for the best spelling variations or alternations of a name.

I agree that eventually the medical field needs electronic connectivity. However, the present system with EHR for profit companies running it is too expensive and does not connect physicians and hospitals.
I bought Vitera Intergy EHR and they have been horrible! They cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars, is too complicated to use, are always gauging me for more services, and have poor support.
We need an open source, internet based system that can connect all physicians, pharmacies, labs, and hospitals. --Dr. B

Octavo, pp. [1-7] 8-35 [36: blank] [37-40: ads], original light gray wrappers printed in black, text block side stapled. First U.S. printing of this dramatic adaptation. A play based on Jacobs' most famous supernatural story and one of the modern classics of horror.

The ads in this copy are priced in U.S. currency (this title priced at 30¢), but the booklet appears to have been typeset in Britain as the printer's imprint appearing at the bottom of page 35 is that of a British printing firm, Boyler & Tanner, The Selwood Printing Works, Frome. Issued as "French's International Copyrighted . Edition of the Works of the Best Authors," number 379. There is also a "French's Acting Edition," number 1490, also copyright 1910.

Students research helps bluebirds
Research is valuable at any level and this year students at River Crest Elementary School had a taste of how data is collected and reported.
"We wanted a hands-on thing that's like real science that the kids can be involved with," said John Mueller, fifth-grade teacher who wrote a grant last year to fund the Bluebird Project. Thirty students in the River Crest Elementary School Environmental Kids Club took on the project.

Change Your Oil
Even on modern, computer-controlled vehicles, this hasn't changed much. Start by doing your homework -- the right oil filter, a disposal pan and the right oil (and how much), taking care to note that if you switch from natural to synthetic, you shouldn't go back. Then, get started: Elevate the front of the car (ramps are cheap and safer, but a jack will do). Locate and open the oil intake (usually labeled). Find the bolt plugging the oil reservoir beneath the car, and position your used-oil-catching receptacle accordingly. As that drains, find and replace the filter. Finally, fill 'er up, start 'er up and let it run, and you're good to go.

@Rotergirl-- Ah, rayon voile is nice. I have a rayon shawl as well. The best part about it is that it's thin and it breathes. So I don't feel suffocated when I use it.
I like rayon voile blouses and tops too, but the quality must be nice. I've had voile blouses where the voile is just too rough to the touch. Voile needs to feel soft and comfortable, otherwise there is no point.

Halloween letter that's likely fake creates plenty of nationwide buzz
FARGO – Although many consider it a hoax, the story about a woman who told a Fargo morning radio show she plans to hand out letters instead of candy this Halloween has generated buzz across the country.
On Tuesday, the Y-94 Morning Playhouse broadcast the voice of a woman they called "Cheryl" who said she wanted to hand out letters to obese children in lieu of candy.

Smith Woodhouse Porto Late Bottled Vintage 2001
Smith Woodhouse
- Douro
- Portugal
The vineyards situated around the Douro river in Portugal are amongst the oldest in Europe, and the area has been used for cultivating grapevines for at least two thousand years. As such, this is a region where tradition is strong, and authenticity is key, leading to characterful wines of real quality and uniquely Portuguese flavors. Although the region is most commonly known for its delicious and aromatic fortified wines, wineries and vintners of the Douro also make still red and white wines of great quality, using the many grape varietals which flourish there. Several red and white wine grape varietals grow extremely well in the region, thanks to the long hot summers and mild autumns the Douro enjoys, and each is used to its full potential by vintners with generations of experience and expertise.
Portugal has been an important center for wine production ever since the Phoenicians and Carthaginians discovered that the many native grape varietals that grow in the country could be cultivated for making excellent wines. After all, Portugal has something of an ideal wine producing climate and terrain; lush green valleys, dry, rocky mountainsides and extremely fertile soil helped by long, hot summers and Atlantic winds. Today, such a climate and range of terroir produces an impressive variety of wines, with the best wines said to be coming out of the Douro region, the Alentejo and the Colares region near Lisbon. Portugal has an appellation system two hundred years older than France's, and much effort is made by regulating bodies to ensure that the quality of the country's produce remains high, and the wines remain representative of the regions they are grown in.

What's in for Indian markets in the upcoming Budget 2013?
1) Investment by FIIs: Finance Minister P Chidambaram may announce extensive changes in the regulatory regime governing capital markets in the upcoming budget, including scrapping the cap on the amount foreign institutional investors can invest in rupee corporate debt and putting in place a simpler regime for foreign investors in stocks and bonds.
According to an ET report, various panels, including a high-powered expert committee on making Mumbai an international finance centre, had suggested removing the cap on foreign investments in debt that currently stands at $25 billion.
The withholding tax is currently 5 per cent on infrastructure bonds and 20 per cent on corporate bonds, and is widely regarded as an irritant. The ministry could also allow qualified foreign investors to invest over and above the foreign direct investment cap in sectors where there is no limit specified by Parliament.
2) Reduction of STT: The Finance Minster could also look at slashing the securities transaction tax (STT), but that would be contingent upon the government being able to make up through other taxes.
Market participants have been demanding a reduction in the STT, which is levied at the rate of 0.1 per cent on sale or purchase value of shares transacted through stock exchanges.
"There is a greater chance of reducing the STT so far as the delivery business is concerned because in some of the interviews that he has given recently, the FM has talked about his concern relating to lowering of delivery volume which has come down to as low as 3 per cent," said Deena Mehta, Managing Director, Asit C Mehta Investment Intermediates Ltd, in an interview with ET Now.
"A lot of businesses have gone away to foreign shores because of the STT which is there. There is a good chance that there could be reduction in the STT relating to the delivery volumes," added Mehta.
3) Disinvestments: Since April 2012, the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs has approved stake sale in 10 PSUs, namely, SAIL, NALCO, Hindustan Copper, MMTC, Oil India, NMDC, Hindustan Aeronautics, NTPC, RCF and Engineers India, Angel Broking said in a report.
So far, the government has offloaded 5.58 per cent stake in Hindustan Copper, 10 per cent stake in NMDC, 10 per cent stake in Oil India and 9.5 per cent stake in NTPC, and garnered over Rs 21,000 croee, i.e. 70 per cent of the budgeted divestment target of Rs 30,000 crore.
4) SUUTI stake sale: The government may also consider selling shares of blue-chip companies held by Specified Undertaking of the Unit Trust of India (SUUTI) which is the restructured unit of UTI, Angel Broking said in a report.
SUUTI holds 11.54 per cent in ITC, 23.6 per cent in Axis Bank and 8.3 per cent in L&T, and although it is unlikely to wind up the entire stake simultaneously, the total value of these holdings amounts to over Rs 40,000 cr.

Bill Hilbig: Top juniors set for SFPGA tourney
Now that the high school season is over, many of the local players will turn their attention to this weekend's South Florida PGA Junior Tour event at the Atlantis Country Club.
Richard Donegan of Okeechobee, who captured the individual state title in Class 2A, will head up the Treasure Coast boys contingent.
The other area players in the boys' draw will include Manuel Freitas of Fort Pierce; Greysen Gardner and Morgan Hobbs of Hobe Sound; and Brent Graham, Matt Lindahl, Oliver Tranter and Dominick Vennari of Stuart.
On the girls' side, the field will include Eva Baraschi, Tess Huber and Brittany LaPadula of Port St. Lucie; and Emily and Meghan Faulkner of Palm City.
The tour is presented by the Honda Classic with support from the Allianz Championship, Club Med Golf Academy, Don Law Golf Academy, among other organizations.
If you plan to participate in this weekend's Dick Bird Treasure Coast Two-Man Team Championship at Sandridge in Vero Beach and haven't registered yet, you better hurry. The deadline for entering is noon Thursday.
The event will be a modified Pinehurst for the first round and better ball of partners for the second. The field will be flighted after Saturday's first round and there will be a Senior Division for teams with both players 50 and older.
The entry fee is $240 per team and entry forms are available at www.sandridgegc.com.
And don't forget the wide-open Sebastian Amateur Championship will be Nov. 19-20 at Sebastian Municipal.
It's wide open because there will be no age divisions. Even seniors and women will use the same white tees with the course playing at 6,050 yards, although players will be flighted after the first round.
The entry fee is $100 per player, which includes a prime-rib lunch on Sunday. The deadline for entering is noon Nov. 17.
For more information, call the golf shop at 772-589-6801 or email Greg Gardner at email@example.com.
Art Carlson of Jensen Beach recorded his first hole-in-one when he aced the 186-yard, par-3 seventh hole Wednesday at the Saints in Port St. Lucie with his driver. Carlson has been playing golf since 2004.
Con Thill aced the 140-yard eighth hole on the Gold Course at the Martin County Golf and Country Club last Thursday while competing in the Men's 18-Hole League. He used a 6-iron to record his second hole-in-one.
Dr. Eric Wilson, PGA Master Professional and executive director of golf operations at the Keiser University College of Golf has received the PGA/Special Olympics Conrad Rehling National Award for contributions to the growth of Special Olympics Golf.
Wilson was honored during the South Florida Section PGA Hall of Fame awards dinner Tuesday.
The Boys and Girls Clubs of America has become an "Official Youth Development Partner" of the PGA of America and United States Golf Association.
The new partnership will feature golf programming and instruction taught by PGA professionals, along with support from Boys and Girls Clubs' staff and community volunteers.
The program is expected to debut next year at 50 BGCA sites, with the potential to reach between 50 and 100 kids at each site. The goal is to introduce golf to as many youngsters nationwide as possible.
The Live Golf Swing School at the Martin Downs Sports Resort in Palm City is having a Demo Day on Nov. 19 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and the public is invited.
Representatives from Callaway, Cobra, Cleveland and Taylor Made, Diversified Therapeutics Health Studio-Titleist Performance Institute will be on hand.
Food and beverages will be available.

If 4 of anyone is required to counter 1 of anyone (assuming decent gameplay from both teams), it's a problem in my opinion. But like I said, I don't think that's the problem. The problem is more like 4 of anyone will have decent enough difficulty against evelynn and rhyze that it warrants concern, for example.
Ryze is definitely the best nuker in the game. Although he can come out with a ton of burst damage, he is fragile enough to be killed without much effort. Although, it is annoying to see noob players getting kills because of his ridiculous damage output.
I hate Amumu hands down. It takes 3-4 people all armed with stuns to get him down...

Hero that can push a lane alone for instant Twist is a bit overwhelming. You can't stop him from farming nor can you really harass him. Ryze is just a hero killer, not that good at pushing early game nor mid if he was not fed. I don't mine hero killers as much as a hero that can lead a team single handily in pushing a lane down.
Hmm. I've played approx. 60+ games and random hero selection about 30+ and I haven't really notice any OP heroes yet. Twist - you can just dodge his cards and if he tele to heal then push that lane hard. Ryze - boost spell / flash works great and you can also get armor against it. Amumu - boost and lifesteal crit gear. So from what i've seen there's a counter for everyone. Just adapt to who your playing against and you should be fine.
It's interesting how my perspective on overpowered heroes is different from others. When I end up in a lane with twisted fate I know one of two things will happen. Either he'll be awful and pose virtually no threat to me at all, or he'll be quite talented and I'll have to focus a lot on dodging his cards. Even in the later case, I don't feel he is over powered, I have to take certain considerations for any hero on the opposite side of the lane as me... though the only more annoying opponent is lich guy. On the other hand Ryze can be brutal with his mix of root and ultimate but he's built for that sort of thing and is lacking in other areas. You need to adjust your strategy based on your opponent, if you find yourself over powered by one person playing a specific champion, look at how they are beating you and figure out what you can do to overcome it. 1v1 you should never be without options, 2v1 you might be in trouble.

PUNXSUTAWNEY ŌĆö The hour was 7:28 a.m., and right on time, Punxsutawney Phil emerged from his humble abode to the thrill of what the members of his Inner Circle predicted to be a record crowd that had been patiently awaiting his prognostication for hours in the single-digit, below-zero-wind-chill temperatures they'd been battling all night.
Live from Gobbler's Knob... Punxsy Phil does not see his shadow and reports an early spring!
JENNIFER ROBERTS PUNXSUTAWNEY ŌĆö It is one of the greatest honors in the small town of Punxsutawney, and deservedly so, the bequeathing of that honor comes on the eve of the town's biggest day.
It was Groundhog Eve, as many know it, Friday night, and the crowning of the Woman and Man of the Year took center stage as the end of the Groundhog Banquet approached.
Katie Laska, 2011 Woman of the Year, stepped to the microphone and delivered the ceremonial, passing-of-the-torch speech to a woman who she said she knows quite well.
PUNXSUTAWNEY ŌĆö Groundhog Day means a lot of things to the people of Punxsutawney and the surrounding communities, but its reach extends farther even than that ŌĆö a fact echoed by Danny Rubin, one of the special guests at this year's Groundhog Banquet held the night before the big day.
"Twenty-one years ago, I sat down in a room, and I got an idea, and I wrote a movie," Rubin said. "And you always hope that somebody will see it and that maybe you'll make a difference in the world. Maybe you'll entertain some people.
Little Miss and Mister Groundhog were crowned Friday at the Punxsutawney Weather Discovery Center.
Pictured (front, from left) are: Butch Prushnok, Groundhog Club member; Alex Shumaker, Little Mr. Groundhog; Eastyn Kopas, Little Miss Groundhog; Tom Dunkel, Groundhog Club member; (back) John Griffiths, Groundhog Club member and Phil's co-handler; and Punxsutawney Phil.

More than 2,500 candidates are running from Afghanistan's 34 provinces, with more than 600 in Kabul alone. However, poor security threatens the legitimacy of the vote in many areas. Authorities have closed about 1 in 8 polling centers because of security concerns, and it is likely that many more centers will remain out of operation in the south and east on polling day.
The Taliban vowed to disrupt the elections and have launched a campaign of intimidation in recent months, targeting election workers and campaigners. Some have been killed and others kidnapped and released, after pledging to quit their job.
The insurgents are likely to be behind the majority of preelection violence. But election watchdogs say that dozens of attacks that were originally attributed to the insurgents appear to actually be cases of intercandidate feuding.
In the central province of Ghor, rival candidates opened fire on one another in August, sparking an hours-long gun battle. A number of other incidents of violence in the province were initially reported as insurgent-related, but provincial officials now say that they suspect that candidates themselves might be involved.
In the northern province of Baghlan, gunmen recently fired on the campaign convoy of a candidate known simply as Narmgoy. Witnesses said that the culprit, which left the Narmgoy's team unharmed, was the son of Shukria Isakhel, a rival candidate.
Ms. Isakhel admitted that her son was behind the incident but claimed that she did not order it. Her supporters say the attack was in reaction to Mr. Narmgoy's campaign team's distribution of cards with slanderous accusations against her, even suggesting sexual impropriety on her part.

POSTED: Friday, April 13, 2012 - 9:10pm
UPDATED: Sunday, April 22, 2012 - 5:12pm
TYLER — All stray animals picked up outside the city limits of Tyler, go to the Smith County Animal Control Barn.
There's no adoption facility.
So if you don't claim your dog or cat after 3 days, they euthanize them.
Deborah Dobbs with the SPCA of East Texas spoke with KETK by phone.
She says the Humane Society of East Texas is still in Tyler -- but it hasn't had a contract with the city or county to help with animal control in years.
"They take selective animals and they are 'no-kill' now. Which is great for the Humane Society. But what that means is over 10,000 dogs a year are being euthanized in Smith County," Dobbs said.
Brenda Elrod is with the Northeast Texas Public Health District.
They provide animal control for the City of Tyler and lend their health services to the county animal control.
She tells KETK the city has to take their animals to the Klein Animal Shelter in Jacksonville...
She says it would be easier if there were a closer shelter.
"It is an expensive endeavor but they're committed to taking care of it. You know we drive to Klein at least once a day, 6 days a week, if not 7 and sometimes twice if we have more animals to deliver," Elrod said.
Deborah Dobbs says both the city and the county could benefit from a new shelter they are close to building.
"The city and county both need a local facility in our city that our citizens can reclaim their lost pets. Or we can start adopting some of these animals out as opposed to euthanizing all of them," Dobbs said.
As far as what the sheriff's candidates think, Chris Green says he would rather the department focus on law enforcement than deal with animal control.
Larry Smith and Bobby Garmon feel that it is the responsibilty of the Sheriff's office -- they just need that SPCA help.
And candidate Donn Rust says a good idea would be for the Sheriff's office to have one deputy dedicated to animal control -- strictly for investigation purposes.
What do you think about all this?
Any ideas? Leave us a comment.

Background: Although bone repair is a relatively efficient process, a significant portion of patients fail to heal their fractures. Because adequate blood supply is essential to osteogenesis, the authors hypothesize that augmenting neovascularization by increasing the number of circulating progenitor cells will improve bony healing.
Methods: Bilateral full-thickness defects were created in the parietal bones of C57 wild-type mice. Intraperitoneal AMD3100 (n = 33) or sterile saline (n = 33) was administered daily beginning on postoperative day 3 and continuing through day 18. Circulating progenitor cell number was quantified by fluorescence-activated cell sorting. Bone regeneration was assessed with micro–computed tomography. Immunofluorescent CD31 and osteocalcin staining was performed to assess for vascularity and osteoblast density.
Results: AMD3100 treatment increased circulating progenitor cell levels and significantly improved bone regeneration. Calvarial defects of AMD3100-treated mice demonstrated increased vascularity and osteoblast density.
Conclusions: Improved bone regeneration in this model was associated with elevated circulating progenitor cell number and subsequently improved neovascularization and osteogenesis. These findings highlight the importance of circulating progenitor cells in bone healing and may provide a novel therapy for bone regeneration.

Get thee to a gun store!! Selection of a carry weapon is a very personal thing. The feel of the weapon in your hand should be comfortable, almost like an extension of your body. Handle them all, choose the one you are most accurate and comfortable with. If I had to recommend a .357 revolver, it would be a Smith and Wesson Model TRR8 .357 5", or the 627 .357 5". The Ruger SP101 or GP100 are good choices. Let us know what you choose!!
People get the government they deserve.
My recommendations for a concealed carry .357 magnum would be the Smith & Wesson 640 or the new M&P360. Smith 640. The smaller boot grip will also fit on this firearm. If you don't mind a used gun, the Smith & Wesson Model 13 (blue) or 65 (stainless) in a three or four inch barrel is an excellent choice. It is a slightly larger K-frame and a six-shot, as opposed to a 5-shot like the 620 and 360. Smith & Wesson Model 65, 3-inch If don't mind a larger firearm, check out the model 327, the 327 TRR8, and the 327 Night Guard and 386 Night Guard. All these models are larger frame, short barrel models, except the TRR8 shown below. Model 327 TRR8 Have fun choosing, let us know what you decide to go with.

Onliner, technically what you are describing is exactly why you would give an extended bolus or even a multiwave bolus, since your basal insulin isn't covering your mealtime glucose rise.
Thanks Mike, that was helpful.
I'm currently on MDI and have to do a fast acting shot before sleep if I think that the evening meal will affect BG in the first part of the night. On the Combo pump I will be able to do the same with an extended bolus, this is good news.
Yes, I have done this frequently using an extended bolus as a substitute for a positive TBR. The pump does not provide any alarm to let you know of a completion of an extended bolus.
If you have a lot of instances where you want to use the same TBR during the same time periods, you could certainly come up with a different basal profile.
I currently use two profiles. One for my normal, fairly active lifestyle and another for those days where I am inside all day working on the computer for writing, editing, etc.
The AC Combo pump gives alerts in connection with TBR, which can be a problem while sleeping.
I'm thinking it would be possible to use an extended bolus, or an alternate basal profile as a substitute.
Does it beep/vibrate during, or at the end of an extended bolus? Or if another basal profile is selected?
Anyone use it this way?
Thanks! Doesn't sound like anything then. Been out of town and all deliveries had been stopped or unsuccessful at my house until today. Have a good evening! Mike
Anyone heard about a letter coming out concerning an issue with the pump resetting date / time to default factory settings when changing the battery? Capacitor issue maybe (or so it has been said in passing)?
Mike Ratrie, I'm getting the basals about right. Waking is generally below 110! Love it!
barryb, glad you are getting a lot out of your Spirit. Are you finding your waking BGs higher or lower than 110?
Almost 30 days on this pump. There is no going back for me. I've tried two different infusion sets, switched batteries in pump and meter all without issue. I've changed basal rates working to get waking BG to 110. So far I can't think of anything I'd change on this system.

You've probably seen this before, but it seemed appropriate to bring it up again. (Especially after reading recent posts by Jeannette DeMain and bobbot.) For a while, I was literally addicted to this video, like an emotional drug.
Where the Hell is Matt? (2008) from Matthew Harding on Vimeo.
The song is "Praan," by Garry Schyman, and is available on iTunes.
The lyrics are from the poem "Stream of Life," by Rabindranath Tagore:
The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures.It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth in numberless blades of grass and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers.
It is Your same life that is rocked in the ocean-cradle of birth and of death, in ebb and in flow.
I feel my limbs are made glorious by the touch of this world of life. And my pride is from the life-throb of ages dancing in my blood this moment.
P.S. Somewhere below the original video is a comment from a woman whose son was killed in Iraq. She said she hadn't been sleeping, but that the video enabled her to get throught one night. Only one. But still, that's saying something.

Homicide detectives are investigating after a man pulled from a burning house in central Hamilton was also found to have suffered suspicious injuries. The man later died in hospital.
Friends say Leonel Alexandre Avalos Aguilar, 24, was injured after a fire began at about 4 a.m. Wednesday, ripping through the first floor of 249 Cannon St. E., where he rented a room. A neighbour heard three women who live at that address standing on the street, crying about the blaze and a man being on fire.
"We were called in to determine whether those injuries were something that happened prior to the fire or if it happened as part of rescue measures that were taken," said Detective Sergeant Paul Hamilton.
He would not comment on the nature of the injuries. An autopsy is scheduled for Thursday.
Investigators said the man was not known to authorities. However, police are investigating reports a Molotov cocktail was thrown at the residence earlier in the week.
At the height of the blaze, more than 35 firefighters were at the scene, between Wellington Street North and Victoria Avenue North.
Aguilar was one of at least eight men renting a room in the house. He had been living there for just under a year, says childhood friend Bea Osman, 26.
"He was young, but he spoke like a man," she said through tears. "He had a lot of plans. He had so many goals."
Originally from El Salvador, Aguilar attended Lisgar Elementary School on the east Mountain. Osman said she and her family spent their childhood with Aguilar and stayed in touch when he moved back to El Salvador when he was about 10 years old.
"He always had a smile on his face. He would give you the shirt off his back," Osman said. "He was so loving."
While back in his native country, Aguilar met a woman and they had a daughter together. Osman says her friend wanted his family to have the best in life and returned to Canada to make that possible.
"He was going to sponsor them and bring them here," she said.
Firefighters were initially able to get into the three-storey orange brick house, but were forced back by heat and heavy flames.
"The home is completely devastated," said fire prevention officer Claudio Mostacci. Damage is estimated at more than $200,000.
Fire officials have not determined whether the home had working smoke detectors.
Mike Williams, who lives in an apartment at a former hair salon next to the fire scene, said he was watching TV at about 4 a.m. when he heard the three women crying on the street.
"I heard three of the occupants, the three girls who live there, I heard crying and stuff outside," said the 31-year-old construction worker. "I heard one saying something about her cat, and then I heard one say, 'There's a guy on fire.'"
He grabbed his sweater and ran outside and found the house in flames. He also watched two men dragging the badly burned victim out the front door.
"This house went from being not on fire to being completely engulfed within 30 seconds," said Williams. "It was crazy. There were 15-foot flames ripping out the door."
Williams said he woke his girlfriend to get her up and out in case the fire spread to nearby homes. They then handed out clothing and blankets to some of the tenants from 249 Cannon St. because they got out in "just their boxing shorts and such. We were just trying to help them. We felt pretty bad."
He said police and fire were on the scene quickly and a police officer placed a yellow emergency blanket on the fire victim.
This is the second fire fatality in Hamilton in less than a year. Samir Anbari, 21, died of smoke inhalation last August when fire destroyed an under-construction Big Bee convenience store on Main Street East, just east of Sherman Avenue. Two men from Mississauga, ages 22 and 24, face charges of second-degree murder and arson disregarding human life stemming from the Aug. 4 blaze.
According to land registry documents, the Cannon Street home's current owner is Carolyn Donald. She bought the home in 2004. She could not be reached for comment.
Glyn Wide, manager of municipal law enforcement, said the city was investigating the using of the home as an illegal lodging home. A complaint had been made to the city late last year. Wide said an investigator had been assigned to the case.
Mostacci said it took several hours for crews to control the blaze after flames got into the walls. The frigid temperatures also caused water to freeze onto the firefighters' protective gear.
"They needed to get out of their bunker gear quickly," Mostacci said, adding cold weather causes fatigue for first responders, as well as safety risks when their ladders get icy.
Hamilton paramedics said when they arrived, firefighters had already pulled the injured man from the home.
"He had significant injuries caused by the fire," says Jevon Towns, an EMS platoon commander. "They (paramedics) began aggressive treatment in addressing his wounds."
Aguilar was taken to Hamilton General Hospital, where he later died.
Mostacci was unable to say how many tenants lived in the house.
But Karen Hymas, disaster management co-ordinator with the Hamilton Red Cross, said "There were a lot of people with nowhere to go. The tragedy on Cannon Street is that they may not ever return to their home."
Hymas said a team of volunteers was called to the scene just after 4 a.m., to establish shelter and provide food and clothing for displaced residents, adding many were men in their early 20s.
The Red Cross provided hotel accommodation Wednesday night for two of the seven tenants. Hymas expects there may be more because some of the residents scattered for warmth and may not know help is available.
An investigator from the Office of the Ontario Fire Marshal is probing the blaze.
Police are asking for information from anyone who may have been in the area of 249 Cannon Street East at the time of the fire. Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Randy Kovacsik of the Homicide Unit at 905-546-3836 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

The deficit hawks are acting like they just got a shot of steroids. William Gross, the head of Pimco, sold off the government bond holdings of their largest investment fund. The deficit hawks are claiming this as evidence that the sky is now falling and that we have to take steps now to Social Security, Medicare and other important programs.
Before we throw current and future retirees overboard, we may first want to ask a few questions about Mr. Gross's qualifications as an oracle. As a first point, if he was really all-knowing, he would have sold off his bonds in early October when the interest rate on 10-year Treasury bonds was 2.41 percent. If he waited until January and the interest rate had risen to 3.39, then he cost his investors a lot of money. He could have sold these bonds at a much higher price when the interest rate was lower.
The latest government report on job openings and labor turnover – the JOLTS report – makes an important point. Recent improvements in the labor market – employment gains and the falling unemployment rate – owe little to an increase in hiring by employers. Instead, they result mainly from a decline in involuntary separations – layoffs and firing – of workers. Making it possible for workers to keep their jobs is important to the economic recovery.
Routine illnesses can threaten workers' employment. Too many workers still face an impossible choice: take off from work to care for themselves or their kids when illness strikes and risk losing their jobs or risk their health or that of their children and come into work. A surprisingly high two-fifths of all workers, and three-quarters of low-wage workers, have no paid sick days at all. And most workers who do have paid sick days can't use them to care for a sick child. Routine illnesses create a crisis for these workers and their families.
This week, we post links to reports from Center for Economic and Policy Research, Demos, Economic Policy Institute, National Employment Law Project, and Political Economy Research Institute.
With the recent spate of attention to public sector workers, here's a (hopefully handy!) summary of CEPR resources about them and public pension funds:
The Origins and Severity of the Public Pension Crisis
This paper shows:
Returns on Public Pensions: What Rates Should We Assume? An explanation that state pension plans should make their projections based on the expected value of their stock holdings. For a fund assuming 3% inflation, that translates into the nominal 9.5-10.0% yield that most assume for the portion of their funds held in stock.
This week, we post links to reports from Center for American Progress, Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, Center for Law & Social Policy, Economic Policy Institute, The Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, and Political Economy Research Institute.
It seems that Andrew Biggs, at the American Enterprise Institute, is taking issue with my argument on the rate of return that public pensions should assume on the portion of their assets held in stock. (The rate of return on the asset is the same issue as the rate of discount applied to future liabilities. I use rates of return just because it makes the discussion easier to follow.)
To start, we should be clear on what exactly is at issue. Andrew and I are not debating the expected rate of return on stocks. Both of us agree that the pension funds are at least close to the mark in their assumptions on stock returns. Rather, Andrew feels that their return assumption does not correctly account for the risk associated with stock returns. He notes that the higher return on stocks comes in exchange for higher risk. Since the pension obligation is an absolute commitment, he argues that pensions should assume a risk-free rate of return on their assets.
My contention is that because a state or local government is essentially an infinitely lived entity, it need not be as concerned about the variance in returns as individuals. Therefore state pension plans can make their projections based on the expected value of their stock holdings.
Since the Great Recession was formally declared over in June 2009, the economy has experienced only two quarters of above-trend growth in real GDP – growing at an annual rate of 5.0 percent in the fourth quarter of 2009 and 3.7 percent in the first quarter of 2010. For the rest of 2010, real GDP growth was disappointing – a point driven home in the recent downward revision of fourth quarter GDP growth from 3.2 to 2.8 percent. Employment -- which in February 2011 was still below its December 2007 level by nearly than 7.5 million jobs -- will add just 2 million jobs this year at this rate of growth. That's a scant 1 million more jobs than are needed to keep up with the growth of the working age population, and will reduce unemployment by just half a percent over 2011.
The economic problem is clearly one of slack demand. The pain experienced by workers as a result of the slow growth in real GDP is palpable. Yet, there is no leadership in Washington and no grassroots political pressure to renew, let alone expand, government stimulus measures. Quite the contrary: Fiscal policy in 2011 and 2012 looks set to embrace spending cuts that will reduce the rate of real GDP growth below CBO's forecasts of 3.1 percent in 2011 and 2.8 percent in 2012 – rates of growth already too low to make much of a dent in the unemployment rate. Unemployment in the CBO projections is expected to end 2011 above 9 percent and 2012 above 8.
The economy generated 192,000 new jobs in February, knocking the unemployment rate down to 8.9 percent, according to the latest Bureau of Labor Statistics report. The unemployment rate has now dropped by 0.9 percentage points in the last three months. According to BLS' establishment survey, job growth during this period has averaged just 136,000, which is only slightly faster than the 90,000 rate needed to keep pace with the growth of the labor force.
It is difficult to reconcile the sharp drop in unemployment with the weak job growth. Generally, the establishment survey is much more accurate since it has a far larger sample and it is benchmarked every year to unemployment insurance data, which provide a near census of payroll employment. Other data in the establishment survey are consistent with the picture of modest job growth. However, there is nothing to suggest the strong job growth necessary to restore full employment. At the rate of job growth over the last three months, it would take almost 14 years to get back to normal rates of unemployment.

Conservatives have tried to argue that the problem state and local governments face is that the public-sector employees have used union power to pull away from the rest of us. What has really happened over the last 30 years is almost the opposite. Since the end of the 1970s, the policy changes that got into full swing under Ronald Reagan have actually pulled the bottom out of the private sector. The public sector isn't pulling ahead --the private sector is falling behind the standard that it long provided.
As an example, the figure here shows the share of workers in the private sector and in state and local governments that have employer-provided health insurance where the employer pays at least a portion of the premium. In 1979, the earliest year of data available, the private, state, and local sectors were not far apart. (Then, as now, state and local employees tend to be older and have more education, two factors that are highly correlated with better pay and benefits.) Over the next 30 years, the health-insurance coverage rates remained essentially unchanged for state and local government workers. But, the share of private-sector workers with employer-provided health insurance fell more than 15 percentage points --from over 70 percent to just under 55 percent.
Structural unemployment – unemployment stemming from a mismatch of workers' skills and job requirements – has been cited in mainstream media as the main cause of current, high unemployment. Data from the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), however, suggest that structural unemployment is not what is ailing the economy. The graph below draws on data from the NFIB's monthly survey from December 2007 (the official start of the recession) to January 2011. Each month, the NFIB asks its sample of small businesses to state the single most important problem facing their business today. Since the recession began, respondents overwhelmingly have cited "poor sales," suggesting that today's unemployment is primarily due to a lack of demand. "Quality of labor," the factor most consistent with structural unemployment, barely made the list.
In fact, as the recession deepened, "poor sales" became increasingly important, while "quality of labor" was cited less and less often. Furthermore, through an analysis of the NFIB data, we looked at the indicators that had the largest increase since and decrease since 2007, and they ended up being "poor sales" and "quality of labor" respectively. These findings suggest that the current, high unemployment is indeed cyclical and not structural.
FactCheck.org, a project of the Annenburg Public Policy Center, wrongly attacked a number of prominent Democrats for correctly pointing out that Social Security does not contribute to the deficit. The people attacked included New York Senator Charles Schumer, Senate Majority Whip Richard Durbin, and President Obama's Budget Director Jacob Lew.
This point should be pretty straightforward. Under the law, Social Security is financed by a designated tax, the 12.4 percent payroll that workers pay on their first $107,000 of income each year. The money raised through this tax is used to pay benefits. Any surplus is used to buy U.S. government bonds. All funding for the program comes either from this tax or from the bonds held by the program's trust fund. (The Social Security system is also is credited with a portion of the income tax paid on Social Security benefits.)
This is the fifth installment of a new weekly feature at the CEPR Blog. Every Friday, we'll post a list of labor market related policy research reports from progressive research centers around the country. This week, reports from Center for American Progress, Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, Center for Economic and Policy Research, Center for Law and Social Policy, Economic Policy Institute, Political Economic Research Institute, and UCLA Institute for Research on Labor and Employment.
The following highlights CEPR's latest research, publications, events and much more.
Praise for CEPR's work on Haiti Here's a quote from The Notion, the Nation magazine's blog: "Praise to the Center for Economic and Policy Research for being the only Washington think-tank to pay consistent, skeptical attention to Haiti. As usual, they have been doing invaluable work on the issue, including a statistical analysis of the stolen vote".
CEPR's work continues to have a major influence on the debate over the Haitian elections. CEPR Co-Director Mark Weisbrot has been all over the airwaves talking about the most recent developments in Haiti, including the ongoing debate over the election results and the return of former Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. Mark was interviewed by FAIR's Counterspin, Al-Jazeera and KPFA 94.1FM Berkeley. He was also quoted numerous publications, including in this AP article. And he authored several columns on the elections and Aristide.
The economy lost more than eight million jobs during the Great Recession. Last year, it recovered just over one million of those lost jobs. But, a new report from the National Employment Law Project demonstrates that the new jobs were heavily concentrated in low-wage industries such as retail, restaurants, and temp agencies.
As the NELP figure above shows, about 3.5 million of the jobs lost in the downturn were in high-wage industries, but fewer than 200,000 of the jobs created in the last year were in those same industries. Over half of the jobs created since the economy bottomed out were in the lowest-paying industries. As the report's author, Annette Bernhardt, says: "[T]he job opportunities currently available to workers have deteriorated compared to what was available before the recession." The NELP data flatly contradict the idea that the economy is currently facing a structural "mismatch" where workers don't have the skills that employers are demanding. The recession-related job losses were concentrated in high-wage industries and the new jobs have been in low-wage industries, leaving millions of workers from middle- and high-wage industries high and dry.
For over a year now, a debate has been raging over whether public-sector workers are paid too much. In the last few days, spurred by the protests in Wisconsin, Jim Manzi, Kevin Williamson and other conservative newcomers to the debate have been embarrassing themselves and making things uncomfortable for some of their fellow conservatives who have been engaged in the debate longer.If like Manzi, you are new to this, you'd be excused for thinking that the main issue is whether or not it makes sense to gauge the level of public-sector pay using what economists call "human capital" models. These models are among the oldest and most successful empirical models in all of economics. They argue that workers' wages and benefits generally reflect their level of education and their work experience, both of which are proxies for their underlying skills or productivity on the job. A vast empirical literature supports this view, showing a strong relationship between pay, education and experience, in virtually every country and every period that economists have ever examined. That said, even this strong empirical relationship leaves a lot of the variation in wages across workers unexplained. Even with identical levels of education and experience, women make less than men, blacks less than whites, residents of Wyoming less than residents of Connecticut. And even among, say, white women who live in Connecticut and have the exact same level of education and experience, pay can vary substantially. Typically, "human capital" models are lucky to explain 30 or 40 percent of the total variation in wages.
While in prior months the sharpest declines had been in the Midwest, the December data shows a more diverse pattern. Tampa — one of the epicenters of the housing bubble — experienced the sharpest price decline at 2.6 percent, followed by a 2.3 percent drop in Detroit and a 2.0 percent decline in Seattle. The situation in Seattle is interesting since the city, like Portland, had previously been shielded from the worst effects of the housing bust. It seems that this is no longer the case as prices in both cities are now falling rapidly.

Now we have a situation where the villains are sitting on their hundreds of millions of dollars, while tough guys like Gov. Walker are beating up school teachers to take away their $2,000-a-month pension. And, the best part of the story is the Walkers are being heralded as statesmen for their efforts.
This situation speaks to the incredible corruption of U.S. politics. There have been numerous studies done by serious economists that all show the same thing, public-sector employees are not paid on average more than their private-sector counterparts.
Yesterday, the American Enterprise Institute hosted an address by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie titled 'It's Time to Do the Big Things.' So, how is New Jersey doing on the big things that really matter to the living standards of the state's middle class and working class families?
As it turns out, not so well.
Even as employment in the U.S. slowly increased during 2010, New Jersey continued to experience job losses. In the year after Christie took office, non-farm payroll employment in the Garden State fell by 30,700 jobs from 3.859 million in December 2009 to 3.828 million in December 2010.
Average hourly earnings are down in nominal terms over the year to November 2010 (most recent available data) from $26.84 to $25.78 and weekly earnings over the same period declined by nearly $31, from $909.88 to $879.10.
New Jersey's unemployment rate remains above 9 percent, with much of last year's modest improvement in the unemployment rate due to the shrinking labor force, with nearly 41,000 workers going missing during the year.
Attacking teachers and public sector workers, failing to make required payments to the state's pension fund, reducing payments to cash-strapped cities and municipalities, and cutting state programs may make great political theater, as a self-satisfied Christie seems to think. And it may mesmerize his fellow Republicans. But the evidence is clear – these policies have hurt, not helped, New Jersey's economy.
The latest Bureau of Labor Statistics' report on the Consumer Price Index found the index rose 0.4 percent in January while core prices rose only 0.2 percent, providing little evidence of inflation. Energy prices rose 2.1 percent in the month and were once again the main cause of the greater headline inflation. By contrast, food prices have not seen high inflation. Food prices rose 0.5 percent in January, but over the last 12 months food prices have risen only 1.8 percent compared with a rise of 1.6 percent overall.
Among categories of core consumer prices, housing prices rose 0.1 percent in January as rent and owners' equivalent rent remained stable at 0.2 and 0.1 percent respectively. Transportation prices rose 1.3 percent in the month—assuredly all due to higher fuel prices. The price of medical care rose 0.1 percent in January as hospital services fell 0.1 percent following last month's 0.7 percent rise. Over the last six months, the price of medical care overall has remained at a relatively modest 3.0 percent rate of inflation.
There continues to be little indication of core consumer price inflation within the economy. Where core prices do appear to be growing, much of the price growth appears to be capturing energy prices.
For more, check out our latest Prices Byte.
POLITICO's blog, The Arena, recently asked: In a Wednesday afternoon speech at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington D.C., New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie called for raising the retirement age on Social Security. His willingness to tackle politically delicate entitlement programs follows his approach in New Jersey of taking on teachers' unions and other groups.
He would discover that the program can pay 100 percent of all scheduled benefits through the year 2037 and nearly 80 percent of scheduled benefits after this date for the indefinite future. After 2037 retirees would always get a larger benefit than current retirees even if Congress never does anything.

This van was inexpensive and though lacking performance has been a dependable transporter of our family of five. I have had very few problems, however it did blow a head gasket at about 65,000 miles and I have adding one to two pints of oil for the past year. I was told this is an $1800 repair. The car is now only slightly more.

1999 Dodge Caravan LE 4dr Minivan
From the very start, this van had nothing but breakdowns. Speed sensors (3 times), fan belts (3 times), idler pulleys, batteries (I'm on the fourth one), brake problems and on and on. And that was before I hit 30,000 miles. It didn't hit home that I had purchased an unreliable car until the basic factory warranty ran out. Things that have never gone bad on my other cars went bad on this Caravan. Over the past 12 months, I've spent over $2000 to repair the A/C alone. My experience with this Caravan will be the last. This is my fifth Chrysler product but no more. I am afraid to take this van on extended trips for fear of an out-of- state breakdown. What happened to American quality?

Arizona Wildcats
Wildcats QB B.J. Denker on ASU: 'I hope they're ready for us; they need to be'
The Arizona Wildcats are fresh off a big upset win over No. 5 Oregon as they get ready to face rival Arizona State for the Territorial Cup Saturday.
Wildcats quarterback B.J. Denker told Arizona Sports 620's Burns & Gambo Tuesday what UA has riding on its upcoming game at Sun Devil Stadium.
"I don't think that there should be any motivational factor, except for the fact that they're Arizona State. That should be enough," the quarterback said. "Obviously, we want to take that cup back to Tucson, and they've got a lot riding on that game. But we're just focusing on trying to go into Phoenix, going up north, and take care of business and bring the cup home for our fans."
Denker said he doesn't know what kind of credence the Sun Devils are placing on the matchup, but was confident the Wildcats will give them a competitive game.
"It'll make it sweeter if we win, definitely, to ruin a little bit of their party" the 6-foot-3 senior said. "You know, I can't say how their focus is up there (in Tempe), but I hope they're ready for us; they need to be."
Denker said the Sun Devils better look out for star Wildcats running back Ka'Deem Carey, who was named the Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week Monday after carrying the ball 48 times for 206 yards and four touchdowns in the win over Oregon.
"He's our workhorse. He's a special guy," the quarterback said. "And the crazy thing is he could have went for another 10 carries (against Oregon); that's how physically dominant he is.
"He's just a great football player, and I'm honored to play next to him and hand him the football. He's incredible."
As for what he expects from ASU's defense on Saturday, Denker said he thinks the Sun Devils will "load up the box" to stop Carey. Even if the defense does that, Denker said, it may still have a tough time stopping the Wildcats running back and it might open up UA's passing game.
"I feel like if our offensive line takes care of business up front and does what they can do and what they should do," he said, "Ka'Deem will get a lot of touches, I'll get a lot of opportunities with my feet, and that's going to put 1-on-1 coverage outside. And I'll take our receivers over their DBs any day; I've got so much confidence in those boys."
