need help figuring out how to refinish my discolored kitchen cabi
Hi, I'm new to home repair so I wanted to ask some experts first to make sure I am doing this correctly. I have some very nice, solid wood cabinets in my kitchen that were probably installed in the late 1970's. I don't want to rip them out and put new ones in because I haven't seen any that were this good of quality and solid wood. Plus they are completely fine except for the discoloration. I'm not sure what kind of wood they are.
However, there is significant damage to them. I have attached a pictures of some of it. The really really white circle that's right about in the center of the picture is partially due to the flash but the rest of the picture is accurate. I guess the best way to describe it is a white haze, I don't know if it was due to heat damage (some of the spots were above the toaster and on the side of the oven). I tried lightly sanding it (but I didn't continue because I didn't know if I was going to damage the wood) and it didn't seem like it was doing much, but I don't know if sanding it more deeply would completely remove it.
Has anyone had experience with these kinds of stains/discoloration? Do you know how to remove them or if sanding will even remove the discoloration?
My plan is to sand the cabinets down, then stain them with a darker wood color, maybe a cherry color. What I"m also worried about is that the white spots will remain lighter than the rest of the wood after I apply the stain. Does stain evenly color the wood or do you think I might have weird white blotches on it?
No photos attached, but white haze is typically moisture embedded in the finish. It comes out fairly easily. I use the "water ring removal cloths" but other approaches are baby oil and cigarette ashes, denatured alcohol padded over, mayonnaise sitting overnight, then wiped off, and so on.
Sanding off an old finish is an extremely poor way to do it. It takes a long time, uses a lot of sandpaper and does not completely nor evenly remove the finish (unless you are really taking off a lot of wood like floor refinishing). If the old finish needs to come off, use a chemical stripper.
Post the photos and there might be more suggestions.
You might try wiping a section with a rag wetted---almost dripping---with lacquer thinner.
Use gloves and a respirator and have really good ventilation(using a fan and open windows)---as the odors from lacquer thinner are very strong.
Reason being if the finish is lacquer---and it may well be----water affects the finish by causing a whitish haze. Lacquer is not like varnish or polyurethane, as lacquer thinner will dissolve lacquer even after years of age.
If nothing happens, the finish is probably varnish, necessitating the stripper.

His father died in a plane crash when Hill was 15, leaving the family in reduced circumstances and Hill came to professional motorsports at the relatively late age of 23 by racing motorcycles. After some minor success, he moved on to single-seater racing cars, and progressed steadily up the ranks to the International Formula 3000 championship by 1989, where although often competitive he never won a race. Hill became a test driver for the Formula One title-winning Williams team in 1992. He was unexpectedly promoted to the Williams race team the following year after 1992 champion Nigel Mansell's departure and took the first of his 22 victories at the 1993 Hungarian Grand Prix. During the mid 1990s, Hill was Michael Schumacher's main rival for the Formula One Driver's Championship. The two clashed on and off the track; their collision at the 1994 Australian Grand Prix gave Schumacher his first title by a single point. Hill won the 1996 World Drivers' Championship, but was dropped by Williams for the following season. He went on to drive for the less competitive Arrows and Jordan teams, and in 1998 gave Jordan its first win. Hill retired from racing after the 1999 season. He has since launched several businesses as well as making appearances playing the guitar with celebrity bands. In 2006, he became president of the British Racing Drivers' Club, succeeding Jackie Stewart. Personal and early life Hill was born in Hampstead, London on 17 September 1960 to Graham and Bette Hill. Graham Hill was a racing driver in the international Formula One series; he won the world drivers' championship in 1962 and 1968 and became a well known personality in the United Kingdom. Graham Hill's career provided a comfortable living; by 1975 the family lived in a "25-room country mansion" in Hertfordshire and Damon attended the independent Haberdashers' Aske's Boys' Damon Graham Devereux Hill OBE (born 17 September 1960) is a retired British racing driver from England. In 1996 Hill won 1 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia School.[1] The death of his father in a plane crash in 1975 left the 15-year-old Hill, his mother and sisters Samantha and Brigitte in drastically reduced circumstances.[2] Hill worked as a labourer and a motorcycle courier to support his further education.[3] Hill is married to Georgie (born 29 April 1961) and they have four children: Oliver (born 4 March 1989), Joshua (born 9 January 1991), Tabitha (born 19 July 1995) and Rosie (born 1 February 1998). Oliver was born with Down's syndrome and Hill and Georgie are both patrons of the Down's Syndrome Association.[4] As of 2008, Joshua Hill races in the Ginetta Junior championship.[5] Damon Hill going to stop doing that sort of thing. It's not just competing; it's doing something more exciting. I'm at my fullest skiing, racing or whatever. And I'm more frightened of letting it all slip and reaching 60 and finding I've done nothing."[10] Hill borrowed £100,000 to finance his racing, and had a steady first season for Murray Taylor Racing in 1986, before taking a brace of wins in each of the following years for Intersport. He finished third in the 1988 championship.[11] In Europe in the 1990s, a successful driver would usually progress from Formula Three either directly to Formula One, the pinnacle of the sport, or to the International Formula 3000 championship. However, Hill did not have enough sponsorship available to fund a drive in F3000. He says "I ended up having to reappraise my career a bit [...] The first thing was to realise how lucky I was to be driving anything. I made the decision that whatever I drove I would do it to the best of my ability and see where it led."[12] He took a one-off drive in the lower level British F3000 championship and shared a Porsche 962 at Le Mans for Richard Lloyd Racing, where the engine failed after 228 laps.[13] He also competed in one race in the British Touring Car Championship at Donington Park, driving a Ford Sierra RS500.[14] Midway through the season, an opportunity arose at the uncompetitive Mooncraft F3000 team. The team tested Hill and Perry McCarthy; their performances were comparable, but according to the team manager, John Wickham, the team sponsors preferred the Hill name.[15] Although his best result was a 15th place, Hill's race performances for Mooncraft led to an offer to drive a Lola chassis for Middlebridge Racing in 1990. He took three pole positions and led five races in 1990, but did not win a race during his Formula 3000 career.[12] Career Pre-Formula One Hill started his motorsport career in motorcycle racing in 1981. He used the same simple, easily identifiable helmet design as his father: eight white oar blades arranged vertically around the upper surface of a dark blue helmet. The device and colours represent the London Rowing Club for which Graham Hill rowed in the early 1950s.[6] Although he won a 350 cc clubman's championship at the Brands Hatch circuit,[7] his racing budget came from working as a building labourer and he "didn't really look destined for great things" according to Motorcycle News reporter Rob McDonnell.[8] His mother, who was concerned about the dangers of racing motorcycles, persuaded him to take a racing car course at the Winfield Racing School in France in 1983. Although he showed "aboveaverage aptitude",[8] Hill only had sporadic single-seater races until the end of 1984. He graduated through British Formula Ford, winning six races driving a Van Diemen for Manadient Racing in 1985, his first full season in cars, and finishing third and fifth in the two UK national championships. He also took third place in the final of the 1985 Formula Ford Festival, helping the UK to win the team prize.[9] For 1986, Hill planned to move up to the British Formula Three Championship with title-winning team West Surrey Racing. The loss of sponsorship from Ricoh, and then the death of his proposed team-mate Bertrand Fabi in a testing accident, ended Hill's proposed drive. Hill says "When Bert was killed, I took the conscious decision that I wasn't Formula One 1992: Brabham Hill started his Grand Prix career during the 1991 season as a test driver with the championship-winning Williams team, while still competing in the F3000 series.[16] However, mid–way through 1992 Hill broke into Grand Prix racing as a driver with the struggling Brabham team. The formerly competitive team was in serious financial difficulties. Hill only started the season after 2 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia three races, replacing Giovanna Amati after her sponsorship had failed to materialise.[17] Amati had not been able to get the car through qualifying but Hill matched his teammate, Eric van de Poele by qualifying for two races, the mid-season British and Hungarian Grands Prix. Hill continued to test for the Williams team that year, and at the British Grand Prix saw Nigel Mansell win the race for Williams, while he finished last in the Brabham.[18] The Brabham team collapsed after the Hungarian Grand Prix and did not complete the season.[19] Damon Hill of his veteran French team-mate.[22] His results continued to improve as the season went on: he took pole at the French Grand Prix and closely followed Prost, team orders preventing him from seriously challenging for the win.[23] He suffered an engine failure while leading the British Grand Prix, and a puncture near the end of the German Grand Prix also while leading. After that, the Englishman went on to win three successive races at the Hungarian, Belgian and Italian Grands Prix. In doing so he became the first son of a Formula One Grand Prix winner to take victory himself.[24] Hill's third consecutive win clinched the constructors' championship for Williams and moved him temporarily to second in the drivers' standings until McLaren's Ayrton Senna passed him by winning the last two races. Prost finished the season as champion. In 1994, Senna joined Hill at Williams. As the reigning champion—this time Prost—was again no longer racing, Hill retained his number '0'. The pre-season betting was that that Senna would coast to the title,[25] but with the banning of electronic driver aids, the Benetton team and Michael Schumacher initially proved more competitive and won the first three races. At the San Marino Grand Prix on 1 May, Senna died after his car went off the road. With the team undergoing investigation from the Italian authorities on manslaughter charges, Hill found himself team leader with only one season's experience in the top flight. It was widely reported at the time that the Williams car's steering column had failed, though Hill told BBC Sport in 2004 that he believed Senna simply took the corner too fast for the conditions—referring to the fact that the car had just restarted the race with cold tyres after being slowed down by a safety car.[26] Hill represented Williams alone at the next race, the Monaco Grand Prix. His race ended early in a collision involving several cars on the opening lap of the race. For the following race, the Spanish Grand Prix, Williams' test driver David Coulthard was promoted to the race team alongside Hill, who won just four weeks after Senna's death. Twenty-six years earlier Graham Hill had won in Spain under similar circumstances for Lotus after the death of his team-mate Jim Clark.[27] Championship leader Schumacher finished second with a gearbox fault 1993–1996: Williams Hill's 1994 number '0' Williams - Hill is one of only two drivers to have carried this number in the history of the F1 world championship and the only one to carry it twice. When Mansell left Williams to drive in the North American CART series in 1993, Hill was unexpectedly promoted to the race team alongside triple world champion Alain Prost ahead of more experienced candidates such as Martin Brundle and Mika Häkkinen.[20] Traditionally the reigning driver's world champion carries the number '1' on his car; his team-mate takes the number '2'. Because Mansell, the 1992 champion, was not racing in Formula One in 1993, his Williams team were given numbers '0' and '2'. As the junior partner to Prost, Hill took '0', the second man in Formula One history to do so, after Jody Scheckter in 1973.[21] The season did not start well when Hill spun out of second place shortly after the start of the South African Grand Prix, and failed to finish the race after colliding with Alex Zanardi on lap 16. However, at the Brazilian and European Grands Prix, Prost fared poorly in the rain and Hill drove well enough to finish second behind another triple world champion, Ayrton Senna. In his first full season Hill benefited from the experience 3 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Damon Hill Grand Prix, Hill took victory ahead of Schumacher in a rain-soaked event. This put Hill just one point behind the German before the last race of the season.[31] Neither Hill nor Schumacher finished the season-closing Australian Grand Prix, after a controversial collision which gave the title to Schumacher. Schumacher ran off the track while leading.[32] Coming into the sixth corner Hill moved to pass the Benetton and the two collided, breaking the Williams' front left suspension wishbone, and forcing both drivers' retirement from the race.[33] BBC Formula One commentator Murray Walker, a great fan and friend of Hill, has often maintained that Schumacher did not cause the crash intentionally.[34][35] WilliamsF1 coowner Patrick Head feels differently; in 2006 he said that at the time of the incident "Williams were already 100% certain that Michael was guilty of foul play", but did not protest Schumacher's title because the team was still dealing with the death of Ayrton Senna.[36] In 2007, Hill explicitly accused Schumacher of causing the collision deliberately.[37] Hill's season earned him the 1994 BBC Sports Personality of the Year.[38] Coming into the 1995 season, Hill was one of the title favourites.[39] The Williams team were reigning constructors' champions, having beaten Benetton in 1994, and with young David Coulthard, who was embarking on his first full season in Formula One, as teammate, Hill was the clear number one driver. The year started badly when he spun off in Brazil due to a mechanical problem,[40] but wins in the next two races put him in the championship lead. However, Schumacher won seven of the next twelve races, and took his second title with two races to spare, while Benetton took the constructors' championship. Schumacher and Hill had several ontrack incidents during the season, two of which led to suspended one race bans: Schumacher's penalty was for blocking and forcing Hill off the road at the Belgian Grand Prix;[41] Hill's was for colliding with Schumacher under braking at the Italian Grand Prix.[42] Hill's season finished positively when he won the Australian Grand Prix by finishing two laps ahead of the runner-up, Olivier Panis in a Ligier.[39] 1995 was a disappointing season for Hill: some of the Williams team had been upset with his performances and Frank Williams began to consider bringing in Heinz-Harald Damon Hill at the 1995 French Grand Prix restricting him to fifth gear, having led the early laps. Schumacher led by 66 points to 29 by the mid-point of the season. At the French Grand Prix, Frank Williams brought back Mansell, who shared the second car with Coulthard for the remainder of the season. Mansell earned approximately £900,000 for each of his four races, while Hill was paid £300,000 for the entire season, though Hill's position as lead driver remained unquestioned.[28] Hill came back into contention for the title after winning the British Grand Prix, a race which his father had never won.[29] Schumacher was disqualified from that race and banned for two further races for overtaking Hill during the formation lap and ignoring the subsequent black flag.[30] Four more victories for Hill, three of which were in races where Schumacher was excluded or disqualified, took the title battle to the final event at Adelaide. At Schumacher's first race since his ban, the European Grand Prix, he suggested that Hill (who was eight years his senior) was not a world class driver. However, during the penultimate race at the Japanese 4 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Damon Hill 1997: Arrows At the British GP, Hill scored his first point for the Arrows team. As world champion, Hill was in high demand, and had offers to drive from both McLaren and Ferrari. However, in Hill's opinion neither fully valued his World Champion status.[37] Instead, he signed for Arrows, a team which had never won a race in its 20-year history and had scored only a single point the previous year. His title defence in 1997 proved unsuccessful, getting off to a poor start when he only narrowly qualified for the Australian Grand Prix, and then retired on the parade lap. The Arrows car, using tyres from series debutant Bridgestone and engines from previously unsuccessful Yamaha, was generally uncompetitive, and Hill did not score his first point for the team until the British Grand Prix at Silverstone in July. The highlight of the year came at the Hungarian Grand Prix. On a day when the Bridgestone tyres had a competitive edge over their Goodyear rivals, Hill qualified third in a car which had not previously placed higher than 9th on the grid. During the race he passed championship contender Michael Schumacher on the track and was leading late in the race, well ahead of the eventual 1997 World Champion Villeneuve, when a hydraulic problem drastically slowed the Arrows.[49] Villeneuve passed Hill, who finished second and achieved the team's first podium since the 1995 Australian Grand Prix. Damon Hill driving for the Williams Formula One team in Montreal in 1995. Frentzen to replace him. With Hill already under contract for 1996, his place at the team was secure for one more season, but it would prove to be his last at Williams.[39] In 1996 the Williams car was clearly the quickest in Formula One[43] and Hill went on to win the title ahead of his rookie teammate Jacques Villeneuve, becoming the only son of a Formula One champion to win the championship himself.[44] Taking eight wins and never qualifying off the front row, Hill enjoyed by far his most successful season. At Monaco, where his father had won five times in the 1960s, he led until his engine failed, curtailing his race and allowing Olivier Panis to take his sole Formula One win. Near the end of the season, Villeneuve began to mount a title challenge and took pole in the Japanese Grand Prix, the final race of the year. However, Hill took the lead at the start and won both the race and the championship after the Canadian retired.[45] Despite winning the title, Hill learned before the season's close that he was to be dropped by Williams in favour of Frentzen for the following season.[44] Hill left Williams as the team's second most successful driver in terms of race victories, with 21, second only to Mansell.[46] Hill's 1996 world championship earned him his second BBC Sports Personality Of The Year Award, making him one of only three people to receive the award twice – the others being boxer Henry Cooper and Mansell.[47] Hill was also awarded the Segrave Trophy by the Royal Automobile Club. The trophy is awarded to the British national who accomplishes the most outstanding demonstration of the possibilities of transport by land, sea, air, or water.[48] 1998–1999: Jordan Hill left Arrows after one season and after coming close to signing for the Prost team run by his former team-mate, decided instead to sign for the Jordan team for the 1998 season.[50] His driving partner there was Ralf Schumacher, the younger brother of Michael. In the first half of the season the car was off the pace and unreliable.[51] At the Canadian Grand Prix however, things began to improve. Hill moved up to second place as others retired or pitted for fuel. On lap 38, 5 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Schumacher, delayed by a stop-and-go penalty for forcing Frentzen's Williams off the track, caught Hill on the home straight; Hill moved across the track three times to block Schumacher, who missed his braking point and ran over the kerbs at the chicane to take the place. Hill was running fourth after his only pit stop when he retired with an electrical failure. After the race Schumacher accused Hill of dangerous driving. Hill responded that Schumacher "cannot claim anyone drives badly when you look at the things he's been up to in his career. He took Frentzen out completely."[52] At the German Grand Prix Hill scored his first point of the year, and at the Belgian Grand Prix he took Jordan's first win, leading home his team-mate in soaking conditions, in a race which only eight drivers finished.[53] It was his first victory since being dropped by the Williams team, which won no races that season. Hill finished the year with a last lap move on Frentzen at the Japanese Grand Prix which earned him fourth place in the race, and Jordan fourth in the constructors' championship.[54] Damon Hill Jordan persuaded Hill to stay on for the British Grand Prix. Going into the weekend, Hill announced he would retire after the race, so Jordan had Jos Verstappen test their car ready to replace Hill should the need arise.[57] Following a strong fifth place at his home event, Hill changed his mind, and decided to see out the year.[58] His best result for the remainder of the season was sixth place, which he achieved in both Hungary and Belgium. With three races of 1999 to go, there were rumours that the Prost team would release Jarno Trulli, who had signed for Jordan for 2000, early to replace Hill, but the Briton completed the season.[59] Meanwhile, his team-mate Frentzen was a title contender going into the final few races, and eventually finished third in the championship. Hill and Frentzen helped Jordan to its best-ever finish of third in the constructors' championship. At the Japanese Grand Prix, Hill's last race in Formula One ended when he spun off the track and pulled into the pits to retire a healthy car.[60] Later life In retirement Hill has continued to be involved with cars and motorsport. He founded the Prestige and Super Car Private Members Club P1 International with Michael Breen in 2000;[61] Breen bought Hill out in October 2006. Hill also became involved in a BMW dealership that bore his name and an Audi dealership in Exeter. In April 2006, Hill succeeded Jackie Stewart as President of the British Racing Drivers' Club (BRDC). The BRDC, owner of the Silverstone circuit, is at a crucial stage as it seeks to steer the future of the track and its facilities while facing increased competition from newer international facilities domestically and abroad.[62] In 2009 he received an Honorary Fellowship from the University of Northampton recognising his successful career and his connection with Northampton through Silverstone and the BRDC.[63] Hill has also regularly appeared in the British media. He has contributed many articles to F1 Racing magazine and has twice appeared in ITV F1's commentary box, covering for Martin Brundle at the 2007 and 2008 Hungarian Grands Prix. Hill also made a UK television advert with F1 commentator Murray Walker for Pizza Hut, in which Walker commentated on Hill's meal as if it were a Hill driving for Jordan at the 1999 Canadian Grand Prix. Hopes were high for 1999, but Hill did not enjoy a good season. Struggling with the new four-grooved tyres introduced that year, he was outpaced by his new team-mate—HeinzHarald Frentzen, his replacement at Williams the previous year—and appeared to lose motivation.[55][44] After a crash at the Canadian Grand Prix he announced plans to retire from the sport at the end of the year, but after failing to finish the French Grand Prix, which Frentzen won, he considered quitting immediately.[56] 6 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Year Entrant Chassis Engine 1 2 3 4 DNQ Damon Hill 5 DNQ 6 DNQ 7 8 9 16 10 1992 Motor Racing Brabham Judd Developments BT60B Ltd. 1993 Canon Williams Team 1994 Rothmans Williams Renault 1995 Rothmans Williams Renault 1996 Rothmans Williams Renault Williams Renault FW15C Williams Renault FW16 Williams Renault FW17 Williams Renault FW18 Yamaha RSA MEX BRA ESP SMR MON CAN FRA GBR GE DNQ DNQ DN RSA BRA EUR SMR ESP Ret 2 2 Ret Ret MON CAN FRA GBR GE 2 3 2 Ret 15 BRA PAC SMR MON ESP 2 Ret 6 Ret 1 CAN FRA GBR GER HU 2 2 1 8 2 BRA ARG SMR ESP Ret 1 1 4 MON CAN FRA GBR GER H 2 Ret 2 Ret Ret 1 AUS BRA ARG EUR SMR MON ESP CAN FRA GB 1 1 1 4 1 Ret Ret 1 1 Re 1997 Danka Arrows Arrows Yamaha A18 1998 B&H Total Jordan 1999 B&H Jordan Jordan 198 Jordan 199 AUS BRA ARG SMR MON ESP DNS Ret Ret Ret Ret Ret CAN FRA GBR GE 9 12 6 8 Mugen–Honda AUS BRA ARG SMR ESP 8 DSQ 8 10 Ret MON CAN FRA GBR AU 8 Ret Ret Ret 7 Mugen–Honda AUS BRA SMR MON ESP Ret Ret 4 Ret 7 CAN FRA GBR AUT GE Ret Ret 5 8 Re race.[64] Hill has also appeared on many British television programmes, including Top Gear, This is Your Life, TFI Friday, Shooting Stars and Bang Bang, It's Reeves and Mortimer.[65] Hill has raced both cars and motorcycles at the Goodwood Festival of Speed[66] and in 2005 he tested the new GP2 Series car. Hill was back behind the wheel of a single-seater race car in the summer of 2006, when he took a 600 bhp (450 kW) Grand Prix Masters machine for a test run around the Silverstone circuit. Hill said that he enjoyed the experience and "I wouldn't rule [a return to racing] out, but I can't honestly say that right now I need to race. That is the bit that is missing. I love driving, I love pushing the limit and all the rest of it but racing for me…I don't have an ambition to do it and I think that's an important part of the equation."[67] regular appearance at the British Grand Prix alongside other Formula One musicians such as Eddie Jordan. After his retirement at the end of the 1999 season, Hill devoted more time to music and played with celebrity bands including Spike Edney's SAS band,[68] and Pat Cash's Wild Colonial Boys.[69] Hill also formed his own band, The Conrods, which was active between 1999 and 2003 and played cover versions of well known songs from The Rolling Stones, The Beatles and The Kinks. Since becoming president of the BRDC in 2006, Hill says he has abandoned the guitar, being "too busy doing school runs and looking after pets."[70] Complete Formula One results (key) (Races in bold indicate pole position)[71] Music career Hill was interested in music from an early age and formed the punk band "Sex, Hitler and the Hormones" with some friends while at school.

I think that the guys who are suggesting the Yamaha product are hitting the nail on the head.
But instead of a WR250. You might want to check into weather or not you can get a WR450 plated.
Well you seem strong enough to handle a 450. You want the speed and the highway miles. Thumpers last longer if you don't have to ride them full throttle. And if you don't want the full hit of a 450 you can get a device called a throttle cam. This device slows down the throttle response at the low end and makes it a little faster near full throttle. The stock throttle is pretty linear all the way.
The KTM and 09 and newer Husaberg and Husky product are all really good product. Some are might be better off road. But none are quite as maintenance free as the WR product.
Good luck to you in what ever you choose.
As we age we tend to become more direct in our thoughts and actions.

AMSTERDAM -- SBM Offshore has paid $470 million to Talisman Energy as part of a settlement reached over its troubled Yme platform offshore Norway.
SBM Offshore and Talisman Energy Norge, on behalf of itself and its joint venture partners, have reached a decision to terminate the YME MOPUstor project, including scrapping the existing above surface structure, and ending all joint activity for an agreed cost. Ownership of the in situ subsea structure will be transferred from SBM Offshore to the Yme license holders, as they assess alternative development concepts for the field.
Subject to an upfront settlement payment of $470 million made by SBM Offshore, Talisman will complete the work necessary to ensure the safe re-manning and will then remove the MOPU from the Yme field. SBM Offshore will anage the transportation and ultimate scrapping of the facility.
SBM Offshore has already made a provision of $200 million for estimated decommissioning costs in December 2012. Consequently, the company will charge the difference of $ 270 million to its first half results 2013. The company has paid the total settlement value of $470 million to Talisman.

Latest Steatohepatitis Stories
Scientists at Texas Biomed have developed the laboratory opossum as a new animal model to study the most common liver disease in the nation – afflicting up to 15 million Americans – and for which there is no cure.
A new study from the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine has identified molecular changes responsible for abnormal cholesterol production and metabolism in the livers of patients with a common liver condition, and these changes may explain the severity of a patient's liver disease and risks to their heart health.
NAFLD (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease) is the most common type of liver disease in the developed world, affecting up to one-third of the US population.
People with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NALFD) who consume alcohol in modest amounts – no more than one or two servings per day – are half as likely to develop hepatitis as non-drinkers with the same condition.
EASL today announced the publication of a new clinical practice guideline (CPG) in the area of Alcoholic Liver Disease (ALD), bringing the number of CPGs published to date to eight.
New research found the genetic variant Patatin-like phospholipase domain containing protein-3 (PNPLA3) acting in conjunction with the glucokinase regulatory protein (GCKR) is associated with increased susceptibility to fatty liver disease in obese children.
Newly published research confirms that coffee caffeine consumption reduces the risk of advanced fibrosis in those with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
Older patients with cirrhosis have significant functional disability, require twice the amount of informal caregiving, and contribute added strain on the health care system.

Rick Brooks, Chief Executive Officer of Zumiez Inc., stated, "The combination of improved sales and better than expected product margins allowed us to more than offset planned operating expense increases and begin 2010 with first quarter bottom line results that were above our projections. We are optimistic that the enhancements we have made to our merchandise assortments and selling strategies over the past 12 months, both in our stores and on our website, have us well positioned for the future. At the same time, we are making important investments to our infrastructure, including investing in new systems and processes as well as the relocation of our distribution center, which we believe will help further enhance our ability to achieve our long-term objectives and build on our industry status as the leading retail destination for the action sports lifestyle."
2010 Outlook
The Company is introducing guidance for the three months ending July 31, 2010 of a net loss of approximately ($0.07) to ($0.10) per diluted share, which includes estimated pre-tax charges of $1.3 million (after-tax per diluted share of $0.03) associated with the relocation of the Company's distribution center from Everett, Washington to Corona, California. This guidance is based on an anticipated comparable store sales increase in the mid-to-high single digit range for the second quarter of fiscal 2010.
We currently intend to open approximately 25 new stores in fiscal 2010 with an opening cadence similar to fiscal 2009.
A conference call will be held today to discuss first quarter 2010 results and will be webcast at 5:00 p.m. ET on http://ir.zumiez.com.

Laser technology, the motor of photonics, has become and will remain a vital part of global high-tech industry and scientific life. Relying on this prospective constellation, LASOS Lasertechnik GmbH, Jena was founded in 1996, taking over the Siemens and Zeiss laser know-how.
During the last few years diode lasers have replaced the Helium-Neon laser in many mass applications (e.g., barcode scanner, marking, adjusting, aligning). The global reduction in Helium-Neon laser sales means a great challenge for the few remaining manufacturers.
Whereas, on the one hand, niche products require a resourceful mind to ensure the continuity of raw material supplies, on the other hand, many applications in high-precision measuring applications in interferometers and spectrometers, are inconceivable without the properties of the Helium-Neon laser which solid state laser hardly achieve. The requirements on mode and frequency stability as well as resistance to magnetic fields which He-Ne lasers must meet are growing constantly. Declining output, on the one hand, and growing demands on the quality in shrinking volumes on the other hand, define new framework conditions and tasks today.
The He-Ne laser has ceased to be a volume product; it has become a selected component with high application potential to meet specific high customer demands.
LASOS is facing up to this challenge and has invested in flexible, modern and highly specialized gas laser production (Fig. 1). Absolute focus on the customer is the principle by which LASOS is guided. Customers are highly appreciative when their specific requirements are met, the products are of the high quality they expect and they get good value for their money. This company can rely on an efficient and experienced team of development specialists. The extent of in-house manufacturing in Jena, Germany, supports direct access to most different production technologies.
The specifications required by the customer are already in focus when the laser is still at the design stage, e.g., by the systematic selection of individual components and gas mixtures. LASOS cooperates with component suppliers who share the enthusiasm for continuous development and improvement processes. In addition to the permanent optimization of all materials used and technologies applied in laser production, new workplaces for selection have been established allowing economical selection according to custom defined criteria also for small production batches. The Helium-Neon lasers are selected for output, beam position, absence of side lines, polarization switching, split frequencies and other parameters under defined magnetic field impacts. In addition to the customized range, we supply a large number of standard types that can also be used as genuine substitutes for lasers from other well-known manufacturers.
A very recent example of this competence is the development of a new He-Ne tube for Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) in Braunschweig:
The times at which a meter was defined as a material measure ("standard meter") have long passed; today a meter is defined as the distance light travels in a defined fraction of time (viz. 1/299 792 458) seconds. This can only be defined by high-precision measuring equipment.
The PTB uses lasers of the LASOS He-Ne laser series for it. The "workhorse" of the PTB for realizing the meter is an iodine stabilized Helium-Neon laser that serves as realization of this unit of length according to a recommendation of the International Committee for Weights and Measures (CIPM) (Fig. 2). This secures an outstanding position for the Helium-Neon laser in the calibration chain from the National Metrological Institute, the accredited calibration laboratories to the users in industry and research.
The Helium-Neon laser tube LGR 7660 BF01 developed for the PTB now gives reliable service in the newly set up ultra-precision interferometers of PTB. The LASOS team succeeded in implementing the required optical and mechanical specifications in a product within short time.
PTB Braunschweig: "The design of that laser dates from the 1970's and its reliability and stability have been optimized to this date. The PTB lasers contain an iodine cell of 10 cm length and a special Helium-Neon tube with Brewster windows approximately 25 cm long. The laser cavity is 37 cm long; the zerodur rods maintain the distance between the mirrors (Fig. 3). Applying in-house specifications, LASOS manufactured Helium-Neon tubes suitable for that kind of laser which ensure that the lasers can operate with minimum uncertainty also in future."
The glossary contains more information on the above requirements on Helium-Neon lasers.

Need help with my new Bissell steam mop
I bought a Bissell steam mop yesterday from Kohl's. I tried it out today and though, it seemed to start out great, by the time I got halfway through my kitchen floor, it was leaving streaks and the water was all dirty on the floor! It was just pushing dirty water around!
I was pretty much pushing the steam button continuously.
Am I doing something wrong? Help me out please!
I'm wondering if I should return it for the Shark?
I have the shark, and I find that changing the pads when the floor starts to streak is a big help. I just throw the dirty pad in the wash, by the time I have the 2nd pad ready to replace, the first one is clean and ready to go.
I have lots of tile to clean, so it takes me a while.
If you have puddles of water, something is wrong. You shouldn't have any water on the floor from a steam cleaner. The steam vapor should either be in the mop pad or dry quickly in the air.
It sounds like either you are pressing the button too often or the water isn't being heated sufficiently or the mop pad needs to be changed out.

Town Hall Meeting with Mayor Ronnie Johnston
Given all of the recent discussion about the future of the Main Street Covington program and its possible move under the Covington-Newton County Chamber of Commerce, Covington Mayor Ronnie Johnston has set up a town hall meeting at 5 p.m. Friday at The Center, 2104 Washington St., Covington.
The city of Covington will have several road closures around the square this summer as the events schedules ramps up along with the heat.
The car show planned for 10 a.m. tomorrow (Sunday, May 19) on the square has been canceled because of weather, according to an email from Main Street Covington Director Josephine Kelly.
Covington's population and the number of people needing help from the police are growing, even if the police force isn't because of a string of tight budgets in recent years.
The Covington Police Department donated $2,000 from its "Police Who Care" fund to the Newton County Special Olympics Program.
The Covington City Council moved forward Monday with plans to convert Legion Field into a public park that could host big concerts and events.
The Covington City Council approved its first small business incentive package Monday night, only a few weeks after the mayor first proposed the idea.
Covington is in the best financial shape of any local government - thanks in large part to revenue from electric and gas sales - but it still has a tight budget. And while employees want to undertake new projects to improve operations, the council seems more inclined to give some money back to citizens through a small property tax cut.

SBC: An Innovative Idea
SBC: An Innovative Idea
January 06, 2013
When John Jackovin brought home a new keyboard for his daughter last year, he wasn't searching for a new business idea. But as he slid the keyboard out of its carton, out spilled booklets, discs and product documentation into a pile on the floor. In the time it took him to clean up the mess, he had an idea for a new mobile app.
The idea was simple: an app to allow consumers to register the products they own by scanning the UPC code or a specially designed QR code inside the packaging. And to keep it simple, users could log in using an existing account, like Facebook, to auto-fill the registration fields using the data in the user's profile. However, he soon realized the larger potential of connecting buyers with brands, and brands with buyers.
In May of 2012, after a year of development, Jackovin went live with his new app.
(pronounced "bought"), available for iOS and Android and coming soon to the Web, offers manufacturer partners a customizable platform and brand portal for interacting with consumers. Bawte app users can access product information, enter sweepstakes, get rebates and earn "social swag."
"The platform allows consumers to self-identify," says Jackovin. "For brands it allows them to understand who their customers are." Return visitors are key to the site's success, and Jackovin hopes consumers will rely on Bawte for quick access to owners' manuals, how-to videos and customer service contacts. Like many new community-dependent Web platforms, Bawte's biggest challenge is overcoming the classic chicken-and-egg dilemma. Jackovin says adoption by manufacturers is key to the company's success, so he is forging relationships in the CE, juvenile and home improvement industries.
He has launched several tech start-ups dating back to the late 1990s and knows the challenges of launching a small business. "You must convince would-be partners and end-users that we're not a fly-by-night 'me too' tech start-up," says Jackovin. "You have to convince them that you've done this before and you plan on being around for a long time." He says, "Be ready to explain to an established partner company that you've thought about a contingency. 'I plan on being here in a year, but here's what we'll do if I'm not,'" he explains.
Jackovin knows the importance of trade associations like CEA for small business owners and start-ups. "Being involved in an industry organization is very important for a small business," he says. "There's an understood level of commitment that this person is willing to invest in the potential of this relationship."

Where did you get this bed? What kind of wood is made from/
Living Stone Construction, Inc.
I know that it is made from reclaimed lumber, but not sure where...
Allard & Roberts Interior Design, Inc
Yes, we can help! We selected the bed from one of our furniture showrooms in Asheville, NC. You can reach out to the owner Bill Griffin at Four Corners Home in Asheville, NC. Just google them. The bed is made from reclaimed lumber and is from a manufactured called Classic Home. Glad you like it!
Allard & Roberts Interior Design, Inc
Got that wrong...the manufacturer of the bed is actually Four Hands. But touch base with Four Corners if you are interested in this bed or something similar.
And the bedside table??
my husband and our good friend made a frame of 2x4's and then covered them with sheets of good cabinet grade plywood-we stained it and it looks GREAT=I love it= and everyone that sees it thinks it is a solid piece of wood- noone knows til they knock on it and finds its hollow=looks very solid-will try to send a picture- dont know if I can load it- will try

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Ex-social worker 'very busy person'
Took almost three months to make first visit
A revolving door of social workers and supervisors had the file on Phoenix Sinclair before she was a year old. Most of them testifying at the inquiry into the death of the little girl in care can't recall the case from 12 years ago -- especially one social worker, who testified Tuesday she was juggling full-time university classes while working full time for Winnipeg Child and Family Services and commuting daily into the city from Brokenhead First Nation.
"I was a very busy person," Delores Chief-Abigosis said.
The provincial inquiry is trying to find out if and how the child welfare system failed Phoenix, who died in 2005 at the hands of her mother, Samantha Kematch and her boyfriend, Karl McKay. Chief-Abigosis hasn't been able to recall details of the case and can't say why there's no record of her having done work on the file from mid-November 2000, when she started working for CFS, and February 2001.
The former social worker at Brokenhead First Nation testified Monday her caseload doubled when she took the job with Winnipeg CFS, 82 kilometres away. On top of that, she said Tuesday, she was attending university full time and her CFS supervisor knew it.
Among the 20 or so cases she was assigned when she started was the Phoenix Sinclair file. Two months earlier, her parents, Kematch and Steve Sinclair, were reunited with the baby apprehended at birth in April 2000. When the baby was returned to them on Sept. 5, 2000, it was with conditions set out in a six-month service agreement. If they didn't comply, it said, they'd risk losing Phoenix to care once more. There were six conditions, including meeting with their CFS worker regularly and having an in-home support worker coach them on parenting and life skills.
Chief-Abigosis didn't visit Phoenix and her family until February 2001 -- nearly three months after she was assigned to the case. There is no record of her doing any work on the file in all of December and January. Chief-Abigosis said she had a demanding caseload and the troubled young family was no different than any other on her list. She testified she may have tried several times to drop in on the family, who had no phone, and failed to make a note of it. She couldn't say why the in-home support worker's contract to teach the parents how to parent wasn't renewed when it expired in December.
She told the inquiry she tendered her CFS resignation in July 2001 partly because the strain of attending school while working full time was taking a toll on her. The other reason was the death of three-month-old Echo Sinclair. Phoenix's sister was born April 29, 2001, to Kematch and Sinclair. Chief-Abigosis didn't know Kematch was pregnant. Echo died July 15, 2001, of an acute respiratory infection. Chief-Abigosis said that was a traumatic event and she decided to quit working for the agency.
Her supervisor at the time, Angie Balan, testified Phoenix's parents were expected to comply with the terms of the six-month service agreement.
When Phoenix was in between social workers -- after a previous worker quit in October and before Chief-Abigosis started and took over the file in November -- Balan said she relied on reports from the in-home support teacher to monitor the couple. There were no reports of any problems, she said, referring to case notes she reviewed. Balan has no recollection of the case and said her supervisory notes from that time have not been located.
She said the case file indicates she met with Chief-Abigosis one month before the service agreement expired to see what was happening on the case. Other than Chief-Abigosis's notes saying she dropped by the home and no one was there, there was no contact with the family or any of their supports and relatives in the community.
