This image shows a plastic 1/48-scale model of an F-18 aircraft inside the "water tunnel" more formally known as the NASA Dryden Flow Visualization Facility. Water is pumped through the tunnel in the direction of normal airflow over the aircraft; then, colored dyes are pumped through tubes with needle valves. The dyes flow back along the airframe and over the airfoils highlighting their aerodynamic characteristics. Water tunnels such as the one at Dryden are used as a "first step" in providing important information about anomalies and phenomena revealed in wind tunnel tests or in actual flight tests.

Customer Service Representative Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter through email to set up an introductory interview. When I arrived, I interviewed with another career development member. It was a short interview and e basically wanted to find out what I was in the market for. The offers they had available were entry level. However, he was speaking to me about an Agent position which I was not interested in at the time.

Red Ring Of Death Thermal Paste Not Working
Okay, I bought an xbox 360 off ebay with the red ring of death. It is the three light one. I have thermal paste and I re applyed the paste. There are no x-clamps, as someone already tried this. I put longer screws in and drilled bigger holes in the metal box that the mother board sits in and the screws are driven through the metal box, through the motherboard, and into the heatsinks. I then tried to plug it in without the fan to let the paste cook. When it turns on, the green light is solid, and the three red lights blink. It doesnt act like it runs completely, therefore it doesnt heat up. So the paste isnt cooking to the heatsink. Why wont in heat up? Please help!
Alex, absolutely no reason to do this "I then tried to plug it in without the fan to let the paste cook." all it does, it puts on more thermal stresses on your processors. You want the thermal paste to remain soft and a paste, not dried out. This will absolutely defeat the purpose of it. I am not sure what modifications were made to remove the x-clamps. You might want to post an images with your question. Also, it will help if you tell us which three quadrant lights are blinking. Remember that any processor only takes seconds to overheat and trip any thermal protection. At this point I recommend that you use this kit. Follow this guide to install it, also consider a reflow of your IC's. Hope this helps, good luck.
Xbox 360 Red Ring of Death Fix Kit
Fix kit for Xbox 360 consoles with the "Red Ring of Death" (RRoD) failure. Replace, reattach, and reclamp the heat sinks on your Xbox 360. Usually fixes a RRoD Xbox—also effective as a preventative measure. Kit includes: tube of Céramique 2 thermal compou — 50+ available at 29.95 each.
Edited by: oldturkey03 ( )
Okay, but it still wont turn on past the red rings. It just stays red. The red light on are on the top left, and two on the bottom. How I modified it is I got slightly longer screws, and drilled the metal box holes bigger. After this I placed the screws into the holes, then a washer on the screw, then the motherboard, and then the heat sink. I already re-flowed my board. Im putting it together now to test.
The problem with that mod is that you a: may flex the board, b: not get the proper contact pressure required to get the heatsink to properly seat against the processor. The X-clamps will prevent the board from flexing and provide the proper pressure. The reason for doing the x-clamp kit is to close solder fractures by applying additional pressure between the board/processor and the heatsink.
Yes I know, but many people suspect that the x clamps do not do their job well enough. That is why people do this screw mod. The bottom line is, when I have the xbox plugged in (even with the x clamps) all that happens is the three red lights flash, the green light in the middle stays solid, and when the fans are plugged in, they only stay on for a second. Litterally a second. Why will it not actually stay on. Ive seen videos of people with the rrod, and after re-applying paste, they leave the fan out and turn the xbox on. The red lights come on, but the board heats up bonding the paste to the heatsinks. After about 20 minutes it goes down to two red lights. Then you are supposed to turn the xbox off and let it cool to room temparaure. The problem is, the xbox doesnt actually function, I can feel the ram chips are warmer than room tempurature, but barely warmer and definately not hot. I just cant figure out why it isnt getting hot.
Have you tried to get a secondary error code http://www.ifixit.com/Wiki/Xbox_360_Trou...
I'm stuck in a similar situation with the three red rings,I've applied the best of the thermal pastes and used the x clamps still nothing. I even cleaned all the dust out. It's funny u should say that u got u Xbox of eBay cause I did the same thing hoping that reapplying paste would have it working. if you find out anything before I do please let me know if not don't worry but thanks anyway.
You have your screws to tight or not the proper washers. Screws to tight=Three lights, loosen and it will go to 2 lights. then go from there.
Also you do not have to do away with the x claps, they do help with any warping. Instead use thin plastic washer on the top and the xclamp on the bottom as a washer and extra support when adding the new screws.
If this does not work and you still end up with 3 red lights, you have to reflow the board
DO NOT OVERHEAT with a towel or something stupid.
If your going to try a cheap method to re-flow you can preheat a oven to 205-220 and then set the motherboard only on the metal cover from the top of the 360.
Make sure to test your temp first, you want it about 217c but some ovens are stupid.
Make sure to place aluminum over the top to prevent direct heat but still retain the heat of the oven.
After you place inside the oven/toaster oven use a turkey thermometer and stick it through the door and close it. When it reaches about 205 wait a minute, turn off the oven and open the door. LEAVE IT there for about 30-45 minutes to completely cool.
It will take about 5 minutes to reach 205 on the thermometer if it doesn't just turn off after 5-8 minutes minutes. You wait any longer and you'll screw your whole board up.
Hope this helps you guys--GL
Yeah, I also put a thermal compound to cpu and gpu of my xbox but still the 3RRD come out after install back the component.
Can I confirm which is the correct thermal compound for chip inside xbox ?
Refer this : http://www.tglobalthermal.com/what-is-th...
Thermal conductivities
For comparison, the approximate thermal conductivities of various materials relevant to heatsinks in W/mK are:
1. Air 0.034
2. Water 0.58
3. Thermal grease about 0.5 to 10
4. Unbranded grease typically 0.8; some silver-and graphite-based greases claim about 9
5. Aluminium oxide (surface layer on aluminium) 35
6. Steel About 40, varies for different types
7. Aluminium 220
8. Copper 390
9. Silver 420
Need your help urgently on this...
Edited by: antuketot76 ( )
besides applying the thermal paste, what else did you try? Thermal paste alone will not fix RROD error. check my original; answer.
Other thing that I'll be doing is using hair dryer reflow the heat to motherboard around 5 minutes but still came out the 3 red light. Anyway will try the link given.

On Privilege and Prejudice
I pray for a messianic world in which cultures no longer demand that our bodies conform to their ideal—white, male, female, tall, thin, and so on. This is so far from current reality that I have made it a practice to imagine such a world. A Moses with Whoopi Goldberg's skin color. An actor with Gandhi's build in the role of Superman. Gender-nonconforming holy people, as is the case among Native Americans.

Build Log
Wicked Powered Hobby People Phase 3 Squall
I have been working on my Phase 3 Squall. I decided to try a totally different route. I am not really interested in thrust vectoring so thought I would modify the airframe a little bit. I am going with the the 60mm Wicked 5 blade fan and the Wicked 4800 KV motor on 4S lipo. This setup makes a Phase 3 F16 go 115+ mph so though why not for the Squall.
So I have modified the inlet and outlets to run the smaller fan. See the photos attached. The inlet I cut off a large chunk of the foam to make the inlet lower. Then cut a notch in the belly pan so the foam can be bent so the belly pan is flat again. Then I cut notches on the tail cone so the exit diameter is 1.8" which is what is needed on this fan.

I did that same thing on tailpipe on BD-5...I got that idea from same guy named "Don"
|Sep 26, 2009, 10:54 PM
I did the same thing, cut the bottom and made the diameter smaller but my conversion is for a pushers
here is the video
|Oct 09, 2009, 06:36 PM
I want to use the stock Squall fan and rotor and put in a Wicked 5400 or 4800, but the stock prop/rotor adapter is too small to fit on the 5400/4800 shaft. Do you sell an adapter that will work? Also would these motors/ fan combo work with 4 cells?
I am flying the Squall on the stock 4 cell setup and would like more power. I don't want to use a different fan if I don't have to. All comments welcome.
|Oct 09, 2009, 10:54 PM
Honestly not sure, I did order a stock fan unit from eflypower so once I have it I can post some test data.
|Nov 04, 2009, 08:02 PM
Hey Don, any updates on this? How did you like the Squall?
|Nov 04, 2009, 09:11 PM
I am waiting for my new shipment of motors to come in. I am doing two versions, one with the new Wicked Plus 4400 and the 5 blade Wicked 60mm fan for the modified airframe, then one with the stock fan and the Wicked Plus 4000 motor. Here is the testing I got:
Wicked Plus 4000 and 3 blade rotor, after 15-20 seconds I got
51,000 rpm, 693 watts, 46.6 amps
I then put on the 5 blade rotor and got this:
46,069 rpm, 786 watts, 54.7 amps

Apparently Global (importer for the Phase 3) is having a flock of bad ESC's in recent months. One of their Hobby People stores in Orange County CA had to steal all the ESC's out of shelf models to replace ones burning up in recently bought models. I went to buy one and the four "new" planes in boxes on the shelves at one store were all without ESC's. This may be a recent problem with a current production run, So BEWARE!!!
Also there is no warning in the planes literature, that you had better cut the motor well before landing as that big gaping mouth air-intake under the fuse will scoop in everything from grass blades to twigs, rocks, bottle caps, and rocks which will destroy the EDF Blades even if just spinning in the wind with the motor off. I think this is a terrible design flaw. WHAT were they thinking with a "belly lander"!!?? I've seen two with shredded fan blades, and I heard from the plane's owners that Global doesn't have replacements.
This seems to be typical of Global Phase 3 models - design short comings. I had a EF-16 which had a terrible cooling problem with the stock ESC (as all did) and like most early owners found, a VERY SOON fried ESC. Also the EF-16 has a poorly designed Horiz Stab structure that breaks far too easily in anything but a perfect landing. I ended up putting landing gear on it and adding a rudder so I could steer it on the ground and it even flew better thanks to the rudder, especially landings.
Perhaps the name "Squall" is an appropriate choice for Global, as Dictionary.com writes that a Squall: "is a short lived weather condition ...."

You are the only person I have ever heard say something bad about either of these planes. I will admit however that I'm not reading threads all the time.

Marvin Dale Jones (born March 8, 1963) is an American football coach and former player. He is currently the inside linebackers coach for Appalachian State, and has served in various capacities for the Mountaineers since 1996, including three years as defensive coordinator (2010–2012). Jones previously worked as a defensive coordinator for Georgia Military College (1992–1996) and the Parma Panthers (1990) of the Italian American Football League.
Jones played linebacker at the University of Tennessee, where he was a member of the 1985 "Sugar Vols" squad, and was a captain of the 1986 team. He was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the 10th round of the 1987 NFL Draft, and played during the 1987 NFL strike as a replacement player.
Early life[edit]
Jones was born in Cleveland, Tennessee, the second from the youngest of 13 children. He attended Bradley Central High School, where he was twice named All-State at defensive end. However, college recruiters had questions over his size (he weighed less than 180 pounds his senior year). He chose to spend a year at the Tennessee Military Institute— a prep school— while gaining extra weight and muscle mass. Working with long-time coach Bill Dupes, Jones led the TMI squad in tackles in 1981, and was a team captain. He also gained nearly 30 pounds.[1][2]
Jones's performance at TMI caught the attention of University of Tennessee coaches, and he was finally offered a scholarship. He was injured prior to the 1982 season, however, and redshirted.[3] Though buried in the depth chart at the start of the 1983 season, he received playing time due to injuries to the Vols' starting linebackers. He had 6 tackles in the opener against Pittsburgh, and had two tackles-for-loss in the team's 41-34 victory over Alabama.[4] He led all players with 14 tackles in Tennessee's 30-23 victory over Maryland in the 1983 Florida Citrus Bowl.[5] He finished the season with 77 tackles (43 solo), 2 sacks and 7 tackles-for-loss.[6] He registered 11 "big plays," second only to teammate Reggie White's phenomenal 29.[6] He was named to the Freshman All-American team by The Football News.[7]
As part of a linebacker corps that included future NFL players Reggie McKenzie, Alvin Toles and Carl Zander, Jones opened the 1984 season with 12 tackles in Tennessee's 34-27 win over Washington State. In the Vols' loss to Auburn, Jones stuffed running back Brent Fullwood at the one-yard line, causing a fumble and preventing a touchdown. He had 13 tackles in Tennessee's 28-27 win over Alabama. He finished the season as the team's leader in "big plays," with 4 sacks, 4 forced fumbles, and 7 tackles-for-loss.[8] His 109 total tackles was second only to Zander's 167.[9] He was named to the Sophomore All-American team by The Football News.[8]
1985 season[edit]
Jones is frequently recalled as the "emotional leader" of the 1985 "Sugar Vols" squad.[10][11] In Tennessee's 38-20 upset of #1 Auburn on September 28, Jones led a swarming defense that held eventual Heisman Trophy winner Bo Jackson to 80 yards on 17 carries (Jackson entered the game averaging over 200 yards per game for the season).[12] Following the team's 17-10 loss to Florida on October 12, Jones rallied the team with a locker room speech in which he declared, "This is the only game we're going to lose all year."[13]
The biggest play of Jones's career came in Tennessee's win over Alabama, which took place at Legion Field on October 19. After Tennessee's star quarterback Tony Robinson left the game with an injury, Alabama seized the momentum and scored a touchdown to cut the lead to 16-14, and had driven into Tennessee territory for what would have been the go-ahead score, when Jones tipped a pass from quarterback Mike Shula and caught it as he fell to the ground for a drive-killing interception.[14] Jones also recovered a fumble late in the 3rd quarter that set up Tennessee's third field goal.[15]
In Tennessee's 6-6 tie against Georgia Tech on October 26, Jones batted away a 3rd-down pass by John Dewberry to force the Yellow Jackets to settle for a field goal early in the first quarter,[16] and was named "SEC Lineman of the Week" for his overall performance.[17] In the Vols' 34-14 win over Ole Miss, Jones had two third-quarter sacks, both of which forced Ole Miss to punt from their own end zone.[18]
In Tennessee's upset of Miami in the 1986 Sugar Bowl, Jones had 7 tackles as a part of a defensive effort that held the Hurricanes' high-scoring offense to just 7 points. Jones sacked Miami quarterback Vinny Testaverde twice for -38 yards, including a crucial sack late in the second quarter that forced Miami to settle for a long, unsuccessful field goal attempt.[17]
Jones finished the 1985 season with 82 tackles (59 solo), 5 sacks, 9 tackles-for-loss, 5 forced fumbles, and 4 pass deflections. He was named All-SEC and 3rd-team All-American.[17]
1986 season[edit]
Jones was a captain of Tennessee's 1986 squad, and was named to Playboy's preseason All-American team.[2] The Vols struggled to a 2-5 start before winning their final four games to secure a winning season. Jones had 11 tackles (2 for minus yardage) and a fumble recovery in Tennessee's 21-14 victory over Minnesota in the 1986 Liberty Bowl, and was named the game's "Outstanding Defensive Player."[19]
Jones finished the 1986 season with 88 tackles (53 solo), 4.5 sacks, and 2 tackles-for-loss.[20] He was again named All-SEC, and received All-American honorable mention by the Associated Press.[21]
Records and legacy[edit]
During his four years at Tennessee, Jones amassed 350 total tackles (233 solo), 15.5 sacks, 24 tackles-for-loss, and 11 forced fumbles.[22] As of the 2012 season, he was tied with Rico McCoy for 9th place on the school's career tackles list. He is tied with Keith DeLong for seventh place in career solo tackles, and is fourth in tackles-for-loss behind Leonard Little, Reggie White and Eric Westmoreland. He is second in forced fumbles behind Andy Spiva, who had 14 from 1973 to 1976.[23]
Tennessee coach Johnny Majors described Dale Jones as "one of the greatest leaders I ever had."[24] He stated that Jones "personifies what college football is all about to the highest degree,"[25] and noted, "I have never seen a young man in my life that it meant more to play for one particular school than it does for Dale Jones to play at Tennessee."[2]
Jones remains one of the best-known former Tennessee defenders, achieving what Knoxville News Sentinel reporter Mike Strange describes as "folk-hero status" among Vol fans.[26] In a 2005 article, reporter John Painter wrote, "Mention Dale Jones is making an appearance in Knoxville and chances are it would resemble 'Jimmy Buffett Night' in Key West. Gonna draw a crowd."[27]
Jones was honored as a Vol "Legend of the Game" during Tennessee's game against Alabama on October 25, 2014.[28]
Jones was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the 10th round of the 1987 NFL Draft. Though he was waived in early September of that year,[29] he was re-signed during the players' strike a few weeks later. He played in three games for the Cowboys as a replacement player.[30] In the Cowboys' win over Philadelphia on October 11, he recovered a fumble and returned it 26 yards to the 1 yard line.[31] In the game against Washington on October 19, a hit by Jones knocked Redskins quarterback Ed Rubbert out of the game in the second quarter. This, ironically, allowed Jones's former teammate, Redskins backup quarterback Tony Robinson, to enter the game, and lead Washington to a 13-7 victory.[32] Jones was again waived after the strike ended.[33]
Jones returned to Tennessee as a graduate assistant in 1989. The following year, he was hired as defensive coordinator of the Italian League Parma Panthers, joining former high school and college teammate Chris White.[27] After a year with the Panthers, he joined the Florida Gators staff as an assistant in 1991. Later that year, he was hired as the linebackers and defensive backs coach at Georgia Military College, and was promoted to defensive coordinator in 1992.[7]
In 1996, Jones was hired by Appalachian State head coach Jerry Moore as the Mountaineers' defensive line and special teams coach. In 2005, he switched to linebackers coach. He was elevated to defensive coordinator for the 2010 season, helping to engineer the Mountaineers' transition to a 3-4 defense.[34] Following Moore's retirement in 2012, long-time Wofford assistant Nate Woody was hired as defensive coordinator as part of the new staff assembled by Moore's successor, Scott Satterfield. Jones returned to his earlier position of defensive line coach.[35] Prior to the 2014 season, he switched to inside linebackers coach.
During Jones's initial tenure as defensive line coach, eight of his lineman moved on to play in the NFL, six received FCS All-American honors, and 15 were All-Southern Conference. Two, Josh Jeffries (2002) and K.T. Stovall (2003), received the Southern Conference Defensive Player of the Year award. Jones was named "Special Teams Coordinator of the Year" by American Football Monthly in 2002. Players Jones has worked with at Appalachian State who would go on to play in the NFL include Marques Murrell, D.J. Smith, Demetrius McCray, Jeremy Kimbrough and Jason Hunter.[7][36] He also recruited punter Sam Martin.[37]

Susan Ripka, a busy mother of 5-year-old twin girls, just didn't
feel right. She'd been dealing with recurring digestive issues but when she noticed blood in her stool, she made an appointment to see NorthShore gastroenterologist Laura Bianchi, MD. At the appointment, Dr. Bianchi recommended a screening colonoscopy, an outpatient procedure that would ultimately save Susan's life.
At only 43, Susan was diagnosed with colorectal cancer.
Thankfully, Susan's cancer was discovered at its earliest stage and after surgery performed by Joseph Muldoon, MD, Susan is now cancer free.
Here, she tells us about her experience at NorthShore, why she strongly recommends seeking medical
advice if something doesn't feel right and how a difficult diagnosis renewed her outlook on life:
What stood out most about your treatment at NorthShore and your experience with Dr. Bianchi and Dr. Muldoon?The
entire process, from the colonoscopy to surgery, was very smooth and well organized at NorthShore. Dr. Bianchi was very patient, thorough and informative during the process. She also had a personal, caring approach that helped keep me at ease.
I felt
blessed to have Dr. Muldoon as my surgeon. He came highly recommended and I felt very confident in his skill and approach to my surgery.
What does your care plan look like going forward? How often will you continue to be screened?Right
now, I am continuing follow-up appointments with Dr. Muldoon, and since the pathology report came back negative, I will only require annual screenings.
What would you tell other women your age who are experiencing unusual digestive issues?After hearing my story, women have told me about their own symptoms and I always strongly recommended they seek an evaluation.
What would you tell someone who is afraid to have a colonoscopy performed either out of fear of pain or
embarrassment?I tell people the process and procedure is much simpler than they would expect. I also share how important it is to work through that fear because in my case it saved my life.
What's next for you and your family?
What do you look forward to the most? I have a renewed outlook on life. I look forward to watching my kids grow up and spending as much time with my family as possible!
What did you learn through this experience?I learned that God is in control of my life. He demonstrated love and care through orchestrating events that revealed the cancer early and set me on a path with the most highly skilled medical team. I believe each staff member, nurse, doctor (namely
Dr. Bianchi and Dr. Muldoon) were a gift from God. I only need to remember this experience and I am thankful and praising God for what He did for me and hope He blesses all the hands that helped me!
Cancer runs in her family but at only 24, Kayla Redig's family and doctors weren't
ready to believe that cancer could be responsible for her sleepless nights, exhaustion and days of just "feeling off." Kayla, however, knew there was something wrong. After finding a lump in her breast, she pushed for further testing. When the
diagnosis came back as breast cancer, she was upset but not surprised.
From the beginning, Kayla told her family that she didn't want to hate the chemo treatments that would be responsible for saving her life, so she decided to celebrate
them instead. For Kayla and her friends and family, chemo became Theme-o, themed parties and celebrations surrounding each treatment. Fittingly, superheroes came first, followed by a prom-themed chemo session and even a Blackhawks-themed parade on the way
to her final treatment. Everyone dressed up and everyone celebrated.
Here, Kayla tells us why she found it so important to celebrate during breast cancer treatment and how the love she felt during treatment gave her the strength to fight cancer
and embrace a new direction in life:
Where did your journey to diagnosis begin? Cancer runs in my family. A year before I was diagnosed, I had genetic testing done and found out I had the BRCA 2 gene. So I knew I had a genetic
disposition and a family history of it but I never gave it much thought. A few weeks before my diagnosis, I was always complaining about how tired I felt. My friends noticed how "off" I was and thought I was depressed. I wasn't sleeping through
the night because I had intense night sweats; I figured that my lack of sleep was to blame for my tiredness. About two weeks after that, I found a lump in my left breast.
You were only 24 when you sought out a doctor's advice. What
were you being told by family, friends and doctors before you received your diagnosis?When I found the lump I called my mom and two of my friends but no one was worried. One even called me dramatic and told me to go to sleep. The more friends
I told the more I heard, "Get it checked out but I'm sure it's nothing."
When I first saw my gynecologist she was hesitant to prescribe further testing because of my age but decided to move forward because of my family
history. When I had the ultrasound done, they were able to rule out a cyst but, again, they hesitated before doing a mammogram because of my age. About a minute into my mammogram the tech said, "You need to see one of our breast surgeons immediately."
First thing the next morning, I was with Dr. Katherine Yao having a biopsy. She was the first person who didn't
shuffle me along. Instead, she said, "I'll be honest with you—this looks and feels a lot like cancer to me."
What went through your head when you were told it was breast cancer after all?If you're in touch with your body, I think you just know when something is wrong. So that combined with how off I'd
been feeling … I can't really say I was surprised. Tears fell immediately but I wasn't surprised. I remember being driven to where my parents were and talking to Dr.Yao on the phone, hearing more information and what to expect. When I finally
got to my parents, I burst into tears all over again. It wasn't until I heard my mom say that they were going to move back to Illinois right away that the reality of the situation really hit me. You have to move across the country for me? Whoa. And seeing
my father break down in tears … I started seeing the impact my health was having on others and all I could think about was the damage this disease was causing.
But you wanted to try to keep positive, so where did the idea for Theme-o
come from? After I reached the halfway point with chemo, my health really started to deteriorate. My body was worn out. I was an emotional mess and my spirit was in a bad place. From day one, I had said that I never wanted to hate chemo because
chemo was my partner in the fight. But suddenly I was dreading each treatment and I wanted to stop going. I wanted to stop fighting. With what little energy I had left, I realized I had two choices: Give up or make a drastic change.
Up until then,
all of my treatments had involved at least six friends or family members spending time with me but that was just talking. I decided I needed to make my treatments into parties and, like all good parties, they had to have themes. Chemo became Theme-o. It was
during the darkest time in my life that Theme-o was born.
How did you decide on themes?I shared the idea with my friends and family and told them to start throwing themes at me. We formed a solid list from that. My father
insisted that "Superheroes" be the first theme because he had seen a Superman costume with built-in muscles and wanted to wear it. Before each treatment, we would have the next theme decided.
What were the reactions from people
at your appointments?When we showed up at the hospital dressed as superheroes everyone was amused but also quite confused. There were many "okay … why?" looks thrown our way before we explained the situation. A lot of people
poked their heads in my room because they had to see for themselves. We took pictures with other patients; it was fun to see them light up when they saw us. Once people heard what we were doing, the next question was always: "What are you wearing next
It was amazing to see the community that formed around Theme-o. My whole school participated, many folks at the hospital and friends and family from all over the world dressed up to show their support. I don't think many people
look forward to chemo but I sure grew to. We had a lot of fun with it!
What surprised
you most about the entire journey, from diagnosis and now to recovery?The whole experience was a lesson of the power of love. It's amazing what people can accomplish when we all work together and are fueled by love. From my family to complete
strangers, I had everyone rallying alongside me. This has been the most challenging path I've ever found myself on but I was able to see it through because of all of the love I was given. I never felt like I was doing it alone. The beautiful thing about
the strength of love is it shows no sign of running out. I am still fueled by love every day.
What did you find most challenging about the experience?The most challenging thing for me was how my family and others I love were/are
still affected by this. I hated seeing them suffer because of my suffering. I hate thinking of all the tears that were shed on my behalf. A lot of lives were changed because of this.
What advice would you give to other women facing
a breast cancer diagnosis?Find ways to celebrate yourself. Your body is being dragged through the gutter and will undergo a ton of changes in a very short period of time. I created a "Pretty Committee" that was in charge of making
sure I still felt beautiful and feminine throughout. Get a makeover, take a Look Good, Feel Better class, buy something sparkly—you're still beautiful and you're still you. Little earrings and cute pajama bottoms can go a long way.
Along with celebrating you, celebrate everything else too. Every little benchmark you hit or appointment you get through is worth celebrating. We had a Christmas in July party to celebrate finishing my first round of chemo and a big dinner at the halfway
point. I had a pre-op party and a post-radiation blow out. No matter how small or silly it may seem, celebrate it! Make a big deal out of every moment you get through. People will be happy to join you. If you can't find joy, create it.
next? What's happening now? What do you hope to achieve?I just had my final reconstruction surgery at the end of September and it feels amazing knowing I don't have more surgeries looming. Before surgery I took a new job with a company
based in Los Angeles called Reimagine and am so excited to resume work with them once I have recovered. Reimagine offers an evidence-based, online live class that helps patients and caregivers take
their lives back from cancer. They have built an entire community of support to help people thrive in the face of adversity. I knew early on that I wanted to surround myself with other patients and survivors and change the experience of cancer for every life
it touches. It's incredible to have found others who wake up every morning wanting to do the same. I'm very blessed to have a career that is fueled not only by life experience but also love. Every bit of love I'm given I try to pour back
into the community of survivors, fighters and caregivers.

Katie Clarke was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2011. She underwent a bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction at NorthShore Glenbrook Hospital, followed by four months of chemotherapy and a year-long course of Herceptin treatments at Evanston Hospital.
Before her own diagnosis, and in memory of her best friend who lost her own life to the disease in 2006, Katie and her family would make a point of cheering on the participants of the three-day breast cancer walk in Chicago armed with motivational signs
and licorice. This, and her own breast cancer journey, would later inspire Katie and her sister to found
The Licorice Project, an organization devoted to spreading joy during a difficult time and bringing together breast cancer patients, survivors, families and friends.
In part two of her NorthShore patient story, Katie shares one of the most difficult but important moments following her breast cancer diagnosis:
I'm often asked, "How and when did you tell your kids you had breast cancer?" My husband and I agreed
that we wanted to be open and truthful about everything as soon as my diagnosis was confirmed. We turned to my breast surgeon, Dr. Winchester at NorthShore University HealthSystem, for advice on what to say to our three middle school-aged boys. We planned
a family meeting and decided that I would do the talking.
I began the conversation by telling them that I'd found a lump in my chest, to which my youngest shouted, "You're pregnant!?" When I said, "No," he answered, "Phew!" I told them that the lump was in my breast and they wanted to know immediately if it was
cancer. When I said that it was, they all began to cry. It broke my heart to see them so sad and frightened. Holding their hands, I assured them that the doctors were very encouraged and had given me a good prognosis since the lump was very small and I had
caught it early. I explained to them that there would be many steps, tests and procedures. I explained that it would take time and patience but that when I finished the therapy, I would be okay. Of course, many questions followed:
"Are you going to die?"
"Will you lose your hair?"
"Will you get a wig?"
"Who knows about this already?"
"Can we tell people?"
"What should we say?"
"Does this mean we can get breast cancer?"
"Are people going to bring us dinners?"
My husband and I answered the questions as best as we could, which, of course, led to even more questions. Since school was about to end for summer vacation, we assured the boys that all their summer plans would stay intact. We wanted to keep their lives
as "normal" as possible. The family meeting concluded with lots of hugs and kisses.
Telling our children that I had cancer was the hardest thing I've ever had to do; however, it was also one of my proudest moments because of the strength and composure that I maintained during such a difficult conversation. There's no right or wrong way
to explain a cancer diagnosis to children. Each family will deal with it in their own unique way and to the best of their ability.
When the fourth biopsy in four years revealed some of the cancerous cells were now more aggressive than during the previous four years of active surveillance, I found it very hard to accept that the other shoe had actually dropped. I'd been sailing along
with a Gleason 3 + 3, the least aggressive prostate cancer category. I hoped/believed the numbers would stay that way as I lived through the rest of my 70s and into my 80s and who knows how long from there. After all, my father had lived with prostate cancer
and died from unrelated issues at 86.
As with so many other men, I had the first biopsy after a PSA test suggested a possible problem. In my case the PSA had risen slowly over a decade from 1.4 to 3.7, but being 67 at the time and research changing some of the previous thinking about PSA levels
in older men, the initial urological surgeon and I decided a biopsy was a reasonable option.
My fears after getting the news from the fourth biopsy were:
Navigating My Treatment Options
The urologist who had been following me urged surgery (he performs robotic prostatectomy) and I provisionally scheduled the operation for six weeks hence. I needed time for the biopsy site to heal, digest the diagnosis, and collect and process more
As a dentist turned health reporter, my almost 40 years as a health journalist turned out to be a mixed blessing as I tried to intelligently navigate the daunting amount of often contradictory and confusing information, even for a health professional. I
discovered one of my greatest strengths as a reporter—the ability to thoroughly and unemotionally research virtually any health topic—failed me dismally because this time I was too emotionally involved. I would read the same sentence or paragraph over and
over or talk at great length to trusted sources and come away even more confused. Yes, get the cancer out. No, you can safely keeping watching. Surgery? Robotic or open? Radiation? But what type? Or perhaps one of the less tested treatment options? You can
imagine the toll this emotional roller coaster took on my family: Arline my wife of 41 years and my two sons.
Finding My Advocate: A Six Week Journey
As the six weeks dwindled to two, I still felt uncertain—and frightened—about my decisions and options. While agonizing on the phone one night with my older son he said, "Stop it, Dad! More than most, you are in a position to find one voice you can trust who
can guide you to a decision that you and mom can live with. Find that voice."
I did: Dr.
Charles Brendler, Co-Director of Northshore's John and Carol Walter Center for Urological Health. I was referred to Dr. Brendler by a close personal friend of mine, who is also a physician and serves as a department head at a major Chicago medical center.
He told me Dr. Brendler was the person he would see if he were in my position. Now I understand why.
During the nearly two hours Dr. Brendler spent with Arline and me, he painstakingly reviewed my medical records, gently and carefully examined me, and, for most of the two hours, engaged with us in heartfelt conversation. He reassured both of us, spoke caringly
about our feelings on the personal and intimate issues unleashed by prostate cancer and its treatment, and offered compassionate understanding and objective advice.
Three decisions emerged from our meeting. Two involved additional confirmation of the status of my prostate cancer, one via MRI (Dr. Brendler supported my desire to have the scan) and the other through a second opinion of the interpretation of my four biopsies.
The third and most important was the deciding to accept Dr. Brendler's recommendation to see a urologic surgeon, who, because of his unparalleled skill in performing open prostatectomies, would be the best fit for me.
When Arline and I exited Dr Brendler's office and walked through the parking lot, we looked at each other and breathed the first sigh of relief in more than a month because we knew we had found peace with my prostate cancer journey. We followed through on
each of the decisions and three weeks after our fateful meeting my prostate was removed by the surgeon Dr. Brendler recommended. The cancer was locally contained and completely removed.
Thanks to active surveillance, I had four years without treatment. And thanks in large part to Dr. Brendler, I remain totally continent and am on the road back to sexual function seven months post-surgery. I'm grateful beyond words that when my son urged
me to find the one voice I could trust, the voice I heard was Charles Brendler's.

A Florida appeals panel recently upheld an order to deport General Carlos Eugenio Vides Casanova. A former defense minister of El Salvador, Casanova is accused of gross human rights violations, including the 1980 murder of three nuns and a missionary. He was granted entry into the United States. in 1989. Now, a unit of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is looking to send him back to his native land. The message is a simple one — the U.S. government won't tolerate or harbor human rights abusers.
Or…maybe it will.
After the end of WWII, the United States was met with a large number of people who desired entry. Individuals from all over Europe clamored to leave their war-torn homelands and start fresh. Operating under the National Origins Act of 1924, which set strict quotas on immigration based on country of origin, many were barred from entering.
Immigration during this time was (supposedly) compounded by an additional consideration. That is, the U.S. government was supposed to ensure that no former Nazis or Axis sympathizers gained entry into the country. The Allied program of "denazification" was in full effect, attempting to remove former Nazi members from positions of power and influence.

A week after it made its debut at the Indy 500, the Laguna Blue 2014 Corvette Stingray served pace car duties at the IndyCar/GRAND-AM races on Detroit's Belle Isle. During the week leading up to the race, SPEED filmed a segment with GRAND-AM driver Eric Curran, who drove the 2014 Corvette Stingray and gave his impressions about the new sports car.
Videos & Pictures
On Friday afternoon at the National Corvette Museum, Corvette Team Members Harlan Charles and John Fitzpatrick pulled the covers off of two cars to reveal the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Premiere Ediion. The Laguna Blue 3LT Brownstone Corvette Coupes will be specially numbered and limited to 500 examples.
How does a racing team win at Le Mans seven out of the last 14 years? You have to know the rules. Corvette Racing's Program Manager Doug Fehan talks to Racer Magazine about the rules you have follow to have success at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Getting to ride in a shiny C4 Corvette convertible Sunday was just the beginning of a day filled with fun activities for a 6-year-old cancer survivor in West Richland, Washington.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation made little Miette Nelson's dreams come true as they arranged for her ride in the car to Barracuda Coffee, where she even got to run the business behind the counter.
The National Corvette Museum welcomed a special visitor today. Rutledge Wood, co-host of Top Gear USA on the History Channel and a reporter for SPEED TV made a personal video to the NCM and toured the exhibits. During the visit, Corvette Assembly Plant Manager Dave Tatman brought over a new Velocity Yellow 2014 Corvette Stingray and we were told that Wood was "blown away" by the new C7.
Last week we ran an image from Getty that showed Shane Steelman's red Corvette Z06 surrounded by the destruction from the tornado that hit Moore, Oklahoma on Monday, May 20th. Shane saw the picture on our Facebook page and provided even more photos and video. Here is his account of what happened before, during and after the storm as well as the fate of his beloved C5 Z06.
Now in his 80s, longtime Corvette enthusiast Dick Guldstrand reflects in this video on Electric Federal about his work in the 1990s on the Guldstrand GS90, which was based on the C4 Corvette ZR-1.
The Motorsports Park near the National Corvette Museum continues to roar closer and closer to reality every day.
Crews hope to be done in 45 days as they began clearing the 184 acres of land last week for the track, which will be located off Porter Pike across from the museum on the opposite side of I-65.
The clearing hopefully is just a prelude to the official groundbreaking as early as next month, museum Executive Director Wendell Strode told The Bowling Green Daily News.
Chevy has a great new video posted on YouTube that offers us a first-hand look at how a blogger from DadCentric.com makes so much progress behind the wheel of a Corvette Z06 thanks to the skills he learns at the Ron Fellows Performance Driving School.
The day at Spring Mountain Resorts, located about an hour west of Las Vegas, gave Greg Barbera the chance to fulfill a lifelong fantasy to learn how to drive a racecar.
On the Saturday seminar at April 2013′s National Corvette Museum Bash, we got an update on all the happenings over at the Bowling Green Assembly Plant where the Chevrolet Corvette is built. Plant Manager Dave Tatman talks about closing out the C6 Corvette and preparing and building the C7 Corvette Stingray. He also talks about moving the Performance Build Center from Wixxom, MI to the BGAP.

6 Bands No One Noticed Broke Up
By Corey Deiterman
It's been 20 years since the release of Rising Force, which, along with his Trilogy, is Essential Headbanger Library material. But unlike fellow six-string heroes Steve Vai and Joe Satriani -- with whom Malmsteen toured in a guitar geek's wet dream as G3 -- former child prodigy Yngwie (pronounced "ING-vay") studied as much Bach and Paganini as Page and Blackmore. And though some find his blending of metal, prog-rock and classical overindulgent, it is technically stunning. And like AC/DC, Malmsteen doesn't tamper with his proven formula.
His latest release, Attack!!, is a surprisingly good effort, infused with the current edition of his Rising Force band, which includes Dio-riffic vocalist Doogie White. Sample titles give you an indication of the material: "Razor Eater," "Valley of Kings" and "Baroque and Roll." For this tour, Rudy Sarzo (formerly of Whitesnake and Quiet Riot) will join in on bass. And though riddled with enough personal and professional setbacks to sink most performers (a near-fatal car accident, the destruction of his Miami home by Hurricane Andrew, the loss of his earnings to a swindling manager, false arrest by his future mother-in-law for holding her daughter hostage with a gun), Malmsteen's magic fingers still have it. As he's said himself, he can still "unleash the fucking fury" with the best of them.

The Vikings and Redskins will take part in one of the NFL's 32 "Salute to Service" military appreciation games this season at Mall of America Field dedicated to all branches of the United States Armed Forces and current and former military personnel serving the country.
Players will have a decal representing one branch of the military on their helmets. They'll also wear camouflage gloves and towels while the coaches wear special ribbons. All game used items will be auctioned with the proceeds donated to the league's core military non-profit partners (USO, the Pat Tillman Foundation and Wounded Warrior Project) and also donate $100 for every point scored in all 32 "Salute to Service" games.
The Vikings will be proclaimed as a Yellow Ribbon company before the game, which unites key areas within the organization for the purpose of proactively supporting servicemembers, veterans and military families in the workplace, according to a release. They're the first professional team and the 32nd Minnesota organization to be named as a Yellow Ribbon company.
The pregame festivities also will include a cool card stunt during the national anthem to send a military appreciate message. USAA has engineered the message and assigned 50,000 cards in the seats so fans hold them up to display a patriotic message with stars and stripes.
The Vikings and USAA ask that fans be in their seats 15 minutes before kickoff to ensure full-stadium participation during the national anthem. Vikings fans can see images of the card stunt or show support for their local military with a salute at millionfansalute.com.

Got the E-Revo 1/16 stock. Looking for advise. My son ran it without the cover and the connectors on the motor and ESC have wear holes from flipping it.
If they need to be replaced, what should I go with? Been doing some reading and have some ideas, but want some alternatives.
Main focus is sand/dirt and off-road rally style set-ups, so I need to keep the waterproof aspect intact.
Already planning on upgrading all shocks and struts to aluminum for added strength. Also going to go velcro for holding the body on and getting rid of any "extra" parts not needed for the run to reduce weight.
Which motor/esc, diff, batteries, tires/rims and gearing should I be looking at?

WASHINGTON - A spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office in Washington says a Libyan militant charged in the 2012 Benghazi attacks is in federal law enforcement custody and there is heightened security at the city's federal courthouse.
Spokesman William Miller declined further comment regarding Ahmed Abu Khattala at this time.
Khattala faces criminal charges in the deaths of the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other Americans.
U.S. special forces captured him in Libya two weeks ago, marking the first breakthrough in the investigation of the Benghazi attacks.
A criminal complaint filed last year was unsealed after his capture.
U.S. officials had been questioning Abu Khattala aboard a Navy amphibious transport dock ship that brought him to the United States.

beloved existence.
her verse and songs fly
where flowers blossom splendid;
fiancée oaths reply.
Her lone figure stands -
she spreads her hands out to reach
the fields of far lands.
Conceived caress on hair
unending oceanic paths -
her eyes upwards stare.
On boat's seaward trail -
pure mistle she loved amidst
mizzen and main sail.
I kiss her smile in rain -
approaches in dusk conceived
spelling our refrain.

You are like the sun

Too close and I scorch
flaring passion sparks within
burning out my heart
Too far and I die
frozen cold in lifeless ice
I die without you
Beyond my control
I orbit, needing your warmth
I cannot approach
In the sunset glow
the red flows like my blood does
when gazing at you
I cry at night time
moonlight fails to reflect you
and my spirit fades
At sunrise I smile
because I can spend the day
before your presence
first dance
we sashay into the depths

So I'm thinking I'd like to hold Online Classes for people who I want to help Open Themselves up to Spirit. Mentoring and stuff but I need a way to do Online Classes where the students I pick for the classes can all meet in the one place online so we can talk in real time and all see each other. Like Skype but where we all can Conference call each other. We'd need to see each other. I've done Conference calls with Skype but the connections are never reliable and not everyone is able to connect etc…does anyone know of anywhere I could hold Conference calls with up to say 6 people where it's trust worthy and where we can all each other?
I have Wickr, Hangout, Skype, Facebook and Yahoo Messenger if that helps.
Also I would like somewhere to set up a Forum so my students can go to discuss their lessons and help each other etc….does anyone know how or where I can go to set up a Forum that is ONLY for my classes and not where people looking for love or Cyber Sex.
Any help and advice would be most appreciated. I have 2 students already I want to start classes with. We will meet once a month for a 3-4 hour session at a time.
But I don't know where or how to do it.
Thank you for your time
Love and Light

Jokes aside, you can find information in a lot of places about the benefits of a hemorrhoids diet and good foods that you should eat. However, a comprehensive listing and explanation of foods to avoid with hemorrhoids is often a bit harder to find. Naturally, if you're going to cure hemorrhoids and avoid hemorrhoids in the future, knowing what foods to avoid when you or a loved one has hemorrhoids is a very good idea.
If you eat a particular food and your hemorrhoids flare up or you always get constipation or diarrhea, then it's a sign that that's one of the foods to avoid with hemorrhoids. If you have no idea what foods cause problems for your hemorrhoids or your gastrointestinal tract, then it's high time to start paying a lot more attention when you eat. Most adults have bowel movements every day to every three days. You probably should start trying to keep track of yours and what they're like. This will give you both a better idea of what foods to avoid with hemorrhoids and about your overall gastrointestinal health.
The first category of foods to avoid with hemorrhoids are those foods that bind up the intestinal tract and cause constipation. Constipation can be caused by a couple of different things. Alcohol and narcotics can have a direct chemical effect on the nerves of the gastrointestinal tract and cause it to move slower, which can cause constipation. However, some of the foods to avoid with hemorrhoids just absorb a lot of water and move very slowly through your large intestine.
Of course, constipation isn't the only culprit when it comes to causing hemorrhoids. Diarrhea and anything that irritates the large intestine can cause serious problems too. If a food causes you stomachaches, heartburn, nausea or other gastrointestinal misery, then it's probably one of the foods to avoid with hemorrhoids. If you really love one of these foods, then you might be able to have it in extreme moderation, but these foods should not comprise a large part of your hemorrhoids diet.
Of course, biological systems like the human system aren't as cut and dried as we would like them to be sometimes. Creating a hemorrhoids diet that includes good hemorrhoids foods and eliminates all of the foods to avoid can sometimes be difficult. In reality, there is a continuum of foods, with some being healthier than others. Of course, you should eliminate entirely the extreme end of the foods that you know is definitely not good for you. For other things, though, use common sense. Fresh vegetables are best, of course, but if you can't get them then frozen is better than canned, which is better than none at all. Healthy nuts are better than a cake made with lots of fat, lots of sugar, and bleached flour. Try to pick the best possible foods, but do the best with what you have when it comes to avoiding foods that can aggravate hemorrhoids.
When it comes to foods to avoid with hemorrhoids, treat these guidelines as just that, guidelines. Your hemorrhoids won't come raging back if you have a small slice of cake once a month. If you enjoy any of the foods you should be avoiding, just plan to reintroduce them as rare treats once your hemorrhoids are gone. However, while your hemorrhoids are still present, then you probably want to eliminate as many of the foods as you possibly can. The more efficient you can make your diet and lifestyle, the quicker the hemorrhoids will vanish for good.

I am not into reloading, at least not yet. So I don't mind using non-reloadable rounds for range use. Palmetto State Armory had the best prices I've seen but they've been out of stock for a while. Recently, I bought a bunch from Glens Outdoors.com
I never received them. Did a UPS track and found that they were loaded onto the truck for delivery but then the driver reported damage later in the day, and oh my...all merchandise missing, carton discarded! OoooooK. Bad driver. He must have stolen it all. I reported it back to Glens, and they were under the impression I made the report that there were items missing. I straightened them out, they reamed UPS and had my new shipment out the next day. They are due to arrive tomorrow. I will absolutely do business with Glens again. Great customer service.
Thanks all for your feedbacks and info.
I'm not sure if I will get into reloading and am still trying to understand how much work is involved and how much savings I'll have.
For those who reload their ammos, is it worth reloading the 9mm ammo? I can get from Walmart at 0.22/round factory ammo. How much would it cost to reload 9mm rounds, excluding the cost of reloading equipment?
I relead 9mm for .09-.10 per round. keep in mind that I am loading 122 gn LRNFP, so if lead is not your thing you will have to kick up the cost a bit. also, a local guy is casting the bullets for me so it is a bit cheaper than most places.
CheaperThanDirt charges $191 per 500 (new) plus $20 shipping (but no sales tax). Georgia Arms charges $170 per 500 (reload) plus $40 shipping (no tax). I occasionally find reloads at a shop nearby for a bit less. My son recently got into reloading and his cost is about $0.20/round.
Check out TheGunsandGearStore.com they have really great deals on ammo with a bunch of different Brand Name Choices between .30 - .40 cents... They also cap all shipping charges on ammo at $22.99 no matter how much ammo you buy!
I have had good success with the PMC 45 ACP and it is a great deal too!
