Chairs for the Bigger and Taller...
Being a larger sized person doesn't always make things easy. In fact, I think most can agree it's more of a hindrance than anything else. Whether you are larger because you are 7 ft. tall, or maybe you are just a little overweight, the question that plagues most of us always seems to rear it's ugly head; am I going to fit in that chair? I'm a big guy (6'2" 350lbs), and personally I can relate to this in so many ways. When you go over to a friend's house and you decide to just stand for fear of breaking their furniture, or even worse when you go over to your grandma's house and all she has is wicker furniture. All of these situations are embarrassing to say the least, but what about your workplace? When you have to sit in a chair for 8+ hours a day, finding the right chair is extremely important.
Speaking from experience, there is a lot to consider when purchasing a new chair when you are big and tall. We spend all the time in the world picking out a new car, or a new cell phone, but what about that thing you are sitting on day in and day out? I'm going to break down some of the more important things to look for when purchasing a chair.
First and foremost, you need to be comfortable.
Choosing your fabric and foam are essential. If you are not a leather or vinyl person, don't get leather or vinyl. The last thing you want to do is buy something you're not going to be comfortable with. When you're spending $500+ on something, it's not the best time to be adventurous. The same goes for the other options, don't get a mesh or fabric chair if you know you are going to want something in leather or vinyl. The benefit to leather or vinyl is it has a classy look as well as being a little easier to clean. The benefit to mesh or fabric is they 'breathe' a little better, but may not be as easy to clean as a vinyl or leather.
You want to be confident when sitting in it.
This means you need to take a look at the weight rating. Just as I steer away from wicker furniture or cheap plastic lawn chairs, if you are bigger you should also stay away from chairs with a low weight rating. On Sitbetter we do our best to keep pertinent information on each product page. If you are 300 lb.s, don't buy a chair that is rated for 200 lbs., you will wind up wearing the chair out far before you should. The last thing you want is to have to buy a new chair every 6 months or worse, you could end up breaking it and falling and hurting yourself, or at least your pride. Not that I have any experience with that ;).
Another really important feature when ordering a chair is the cylinder.
If you are 7 ft tall, you probably shouldn't purchase a chair with a low cylinder. You want your feet firmly on the ground, but you don't want to sit in the chair like it is a bean bag all day. This can be tricky when you are taller, because a lot of desks sit at a standard height, and sometimes getting your legs at the proper angle just isn't possible with the current desk situation you have. Be sure to measure and measure again. Measure your desk from the floor to the underside of the desk. Also measure your current chair and where it sits from the floor to the top of the seat. The measurements for the seat range are posted on most, if not all of our chairs. If you can't change your desk, do your best to cut the difference by ordering the proper cylinder.
You get what you pay for.
For the most part, many of us sit in our chairs for 8+ hours a day. That is a lot of wear and tear, especially when you are bigger. Sure, you can buy a cheaper chair, that isn't rated for your height or weight and you may save some money. But in the long-run, if you're having to spend money on a new chair every 6 months, you will be spending a LOT more. The best thing to do is research, make a smart spending decision, and buy a chair that is going to last a couple of years, but more importantly, a chair that you will be happy with.
How to Find the Right Chair for Big or Tall People
When you have to sit for hours on end in an office chair, the most important aspect is that the chair is comfortable and good for your health. However, not all office chairs are made to fit all types of people. If you are taller or bigger boned than the average person, you should not have to sacrifice your comfort just to do your job at a desk. Sitting at a desk can be particularly uncomfortable for taller individuals. Their legs might bend in a strange fashion in the wrong chair. Those who are bigger might experience back pain due to a lack of support from a standard chair. In order to find a chair to suit your needs, you have to shop for chairs with certain features and adjustments made especially for those who are big or tall.
Height Adjustment
If you are bigger and taller, you know that most office chairs are designed for a much shorter person. Chairs that don't adjust height-wise can't provide the user with the comfort that they need. Your office chair should be fully adjustable so that you don't have to crouch down. Feet should rest flat on the floor and the lower legs should be straight and not bent. This allows for increased blood circulation. Every big and tall office chair should have a quick and easy way to adjust the height of the chair relative to the floor.
Weight Capacity
Each chair has a certain weight capacity. Standard office chairs can be quite limited in the weight that they can hold. You need to look for chairs that hold enough weight. These products can handle anywhere from 300 to 500 pounds. In order to handle extra weight, the chair might have a larger base and a stronger mechanism.
Seat Width and Sliders
One of the most common complaints about standard office chairs is that the seat is not wide enough for those who are big and tall. If you require an office chair that is taller and larger than the average size, you need to look for a chair with a greater seat width. This will lend additional comfort and help support your thighs. Chairs with wider seats will be easy to find if you pay attention to the seat dimensions. Many office chairs that are designed for those who are big and tall also include a seat slider. This feature allows the user to create more length in their chair seat. This is a particularly useful feature in an office chair for tall people. In addition to the seat slider feature and a wider seat, you should also notice the cushioning of the seat. It should provide enough comfort and support for those long days behind the desk.
Tilt Tension
Many big and tall office chairs come with a tilt tension feature. As not everyone is the same weight, height and strength, you need a chair that can cater to diverse users. The tilt tension feature makes it possible to control the rate and ease with which the chair reclines. This feature is important, as it allows the chair to adjust to different weights and strengths.
High Backrest
One of the most important features of any chair that you sit in for hours on end is back support. If a chair doesn't support your back, you could experience headaches, neck and shoulder pain and pain in the lower back. For those who are taller and bigger, short backrests do not lend the proper support. You need to find a chair that has a high backrest. This feature will offer the proper lumbar support.
Top 10 Chairs for Big and Tall Men
Finding an office chair can be a difficult task, but is even more difficult when your stature is different than the norm. Most office chairs are designed to accommodate users up to 250 lbs. that are between the height of 5'4-5'11". So what about those that are bigger or taller? In recent years manufacturers have taken these individuals into account when determining which chairs they would like to add to their product lines and have begun adding chairs that can accommodate heavier weight capacities. At SitBetter, we understand finding an office chair can be an arduous task if you are a bigger or taller user which is why we are making it easier by breaking down the top ten desk chairs for big and tall men.

How to Pick the Right Big and Tall Office Chair
Ever heard the saying one size fits all? While this may be true for some articles of clothing or perhaps a piece of jewelry, the same can not be said for office chairs. With people varying in shape and size, not all office chairs can accommodate every individual's needs, calling for the need for speciality chairs. The truth is most office chairs are designed for individuals that weigh less than 250 pounds and that are between the heights of 5'4"-5"10. But what about everyone else? Well luckily, if you happen to be a little bit bigger or taller than what is considered to be average, there are chairs designed just for you, big and tall office chairs.
Why should you get a big and tall office chair?
If you have ever worked in an office before, you probably have come to find that everyone sits in the same exact office chair. You may have also noticed that bigger or heavier people often have a difficult time sitting with correct posture. This is due to the fact that these individuals are not suited for a standard office chair. For someone that is taller, the wrong seat size can lead to many problems including not getting enough support for their thighs and having to shift around awkwardly to try to sit in a comfortable position. Even sitting all the way back in their chair, taller users can have their legs extended out much farther than everyone else's. This leads to sitting with improper posture which eventually will lead to back pain and aches.For heavier users, they may find components of their chair breaking off or wearing down much quicker than other users. This is because, as aforementioned, most chairs are only designed to hold up to 250 pounds therefor their parts are only designed and created for this weight capacity. Failed cylinders, which cause the seat height to longer be adjustable, are among the most common problems experienced with a chair that has a weight capacity less than its user along with broken armrests and chair wheels. Understandably, this can become a safety hazard and quite possibly, a legal issue.
Necessary Adjustments
In order to pick the right big and tall office chair for you, it is important to look for certain adjustable features on your new potential office chair prior to purchasing. The first feature to look for is a seat slider, which allows the user to adjust the depth of the seat by pulling the seat out and adjusting its length. This is especially important for those that are taller and need that extra seat coverage to fully support their thighs.Another important adjustment to consider is the cylinder, which allows for the chair to be adjusted up and down. A chair with a standard size cylinder may not be adequate for those that are taller and need that extra height to sit with their knees at a 90 degree angle and feet placed firmly on the floor. Specialty big and tall chairs sometimes come with varying cylinder heights to accommodate the needs of taller individuals. One manufacturer in particular that offers different cylinder heights as an option with their chairs is ErgoCentric.
Measurements to Consider
Before purchasing a big and tall chair there are certain measurements that should be taken into consideration before making the purchase. The first measurement that should be looked at is the depth of the seat. Most standard size seats are around 19" deep; if you are taller you will want to try to find a seat that can be adjusted to at least 21" with a seat slider to ensure you fit comfortably while sitting. Another measurement to consider is the seat height of the chair. Leg strain and stiffness can occur if your legs are bent an unnatural angle from sitting on a chair that is too short. Lastly, the height of the chair's back is another crucial measurement. A chair with a small back rest will not provide the support necessary for a taller individual and may lead to unnecessary back, shoulder, and neck pain.Cost
A common concern for most, understandably, is the cost of the product. Unfortunately, big and tall chairs can cost a pretty penny, with most costing somewhere in the range of $300-$600, with some costing even more than that. The reason for this high price is the quality of materials used to construct the chair to ensure that it can hold higher capacities while providing the user comfort and support. While it may seem like quite the investment, if you spend long hours a day sitting at work, the added comfort you will receive will improve your productivity and make for a more enjoyable work environment.Whether you are looking to purchase a big and tall chair for your personal home office or looking to meet the needs of several of your employees, consider the above recommendations when looking to find the right big and tall office chair to meet your needs or the needs of others.

Purchasing Heavy Duty Office Furniture
Businesses across the United States employ and serve an eclectic mix of individuals of different shapes and sizes; a range of people perhaps broader than any country in the world. With each individual being unique and completely different it is important to take into consideration their needs especially when it comes to purchasing office furniture. Office furniture is a big investment, so it is important to consider all necessary elements prior to making a purchase. Will most people entering your office have the same body type and build? If your answer to this question is no, then it is safer to prepare for situations when heavy duty furniture may be needed that will be durable enough to withstand substantial usage.
Purchasing heavy duty furniture is also beneficial for companies that have most of their employees or customers seated for the majority of the day. It is easy to forget just how often you may be sitting in an office chair until you think about how many hours you work per week and then consider how much use your chair is getting over just a year's time. This is especially true for work environments that have furniture that is in use all day everyday such as call centers and dispatch centers where employees are switching shifts but the same chair is used. Office chairs that are in use twenty 24 hours a day 7 days a week require special heavy duty seating to ensure the chair will not break within the first few months and instead lasts for years to come.
There are many benefits to owning heavy duty furniture, the first being the quality of construction. Heavy duty office chairs are often engineered with an indestructible all steel frame with no easily breakable plastic components. Many are also designed and warranted to hold up to 500 lbs., essentially making the chair usable for just about anyone. The parts that comprise the chair are also stronger and manufactured better to stand up to even the toughest work environments. There are heavy duty mechanisms, more back and seat support, sturdier casters, a larger base, and a long-lasting cylinder. Most manufacturer warranties also showcase their belief in their heavy duty products by offering 10 year warranties with some even offering a lifetime warranty on all working parts.
Another advantage of owning heavy duty furniture is that all your employees, customers, and clients will be guaranteed to fit comfortably no matter their shape or size. Often times bigger and taller individuals have a difficult time finding furniture that will allow them to sit comfortably and more importantly fit their body proportions. This often leads to chairs that break underneath them which can cause serious injuries or at the very least a bruise to show for it the next day. Big and tall chairs are designed specifically for bigger individuals and can be found on any specialty seating website as well as some office furniture showrooms. Big and tall furniture has expanded to include office chairs, guest chairs, conference seating, and task chairs; essentially providing a seat solution for just about any office seating application.
Ultimately, purchasing heavy duty furniture and chairs is the best return on investment for any business. Once the purchase is made, no longer will you need to worry about furniture breaking every few months and then needing to spend the time searching for replacement furniture. Your furniture will already be built with quality components to withstand even the toughest working conditions and be able to support heavier individuals. Purchasing office chairs should be a long-term investment, and it is both impractical and wasteful to have to buy new furniture every year. While it may cost more upfront, having furniture that lasts for more than ten years and comfortably supports every person that steps into your office will greatly outweigh the money spent.
Finding a company that has an expansive line of heavy duty office furniture may be difficult, even more so if looking in retail locations that typically only stock cheap furniture.

I've not seen it ever create an improvement in anything. I've only seen it cause graphical corruption in Wine when playing Civ 4. Other than that i've never seen any effect at all with it.
Phoronix: AMD Catalyst A.I. Useless Under Linux?
AMD today launched the Radeon HD 7570/7770 graphics cards as the latest GPUs built on the GCN architecture. Unfortunately there still is not any open-source support for the Radeon HD 7000 series hardware nor has AMD sent out any review samples to Phoronix. But there is some other Catalyst Linux news to share...
I've not seen it ever create an improvement in anything. I've only seen it cause graphical corruption in Wine when playing Civ 4. Other than that i've never seen any effect at all with it.
Aren't the 7950 and 7970 the only card built on GCN? The 77** are Southern Island design and it was built on VLIW4.
AMD is hurting its reputation. I was a great supporter of the company since they were the only significant competition to Intel, but seeing how they treat Linux users (waiting for xUbuntu 12.04 LTS) I am really disapointed. They fired Linux dev team working on the drivers. nVidia was one of the first if not the first which released gfx drivers for linux systems. They were great and gave nVidia good reputation. AMD doesn't seem to care ... then I am going to buy nVidia and Intel products. AMD is not worth the money these days anyway.
Good to know. :)
So it doesnt help performance, that sucks..
But, it would be interesting to see if it atleast can clock down stuff when its "advanced"..
Could you expand the test to include temperatures and maybe clocks?
- Talas
How is this relevant to Catalyst A.I.?Code:Could you expand the test to include temperatures and maybe clocks?
The Catalyst blob was generally never known for being as good as the Nvidia blob, so how is this "hurting its reputation"? Keep in mind that AMD has hired devs to work on the open-source driver because it's the way forward. Furthermore, no one here cares what graphics card you buy next based on your ignorance...
Oh, and welcome to the forums...
AFAIK Catalyst A.I. mainly activates some shader replacements for specific games which run faster or fix bugs compared to the original shader programs delivered with the game. Therefore it is nearly useless to test 2 benchmarks and 1 game with moderate graphics quality.
Maybe you see some differences when it is tested against popular windows games which proivde a Linux binary such as Doom 3 or UT 2004 - but maybe they are also just too old. And as there are nearly no new Linux games with high-end graphics (only Oil Rush AFAIK), this feature is actually useless but not because of the fact that Nexius doesn't run much faster.
Try Doom3. The original id Software client.
Run a timedemo with Catalyst AI disabled, enabled, and after renaming the executable (doom.x86).
You get *much* more FPS with AI enabled and the original executable name.
So obviously at least part of AI are hacks that are program-specific and that are enabled by checking the executable name.

Bladder cancer is an abnormal and unregulated growth of the cells that make up the urinary bladder.
The urinary bladder is a hollow, muscular organ located in the pelvic cavity. In females, it is in front of the vagina. In males, it is in front of the rectum. The bladder stores urine produced by the kidneys. Urine from each kidney travel down the ureters and into the bladder. This urine is stored in the bladder until it is discharged from the body.
A bladder tumor grows when cells of the bladder become cancerous. These cancer cells begin to divide and multiply more quickly than normal cells. Cancer cells cannot organize themselves in a normal way, and have the capability to invade other normal tissue.
There are two major types of bladder cancer: papillary and nonpapillary. A papillary bladder tumor is a warty growth that is attached to the bladder by a stalk. A nonpapillary bladder tumor lies flat against the bladder tissue itself, and has the potential to be more serious. The majority of bladder tumors are papillary.
Who Is Affected
Bladder cancer is the second most common type of tumor that affects the genitourinary tract, which includes the kidney, bladder, and reproductive organs. Prostate cancer is the most common. Bladder cancer is the fourth most common type of solid tumor in men and the eighth most common in women. The average age at diagnosis is 65.
Men are more likely than women to develop bladder cancer. Approximately five men to every two women will be diagnosed with the disease. Caucasians are more likely than African-Americans to develop bladder cancer.
Causes and Complications
Most people who develop bladder cancer seem to have been exposed to certain toxic substances. Smokers are particularly likely to develop bladder cancer, possibly due to the cancer-causing chemicals in tobacco. Industrial chemicals are also known to cause bladder cancer, including those use in the rubber, leather, textile, paint, printing, and hairdressing industries. Other things that irritate the bladder over long periods of time, such parasites, bladder stones, or chronic, untreated bladder infections, can also make the bladder more likely to develop cancer.
Left to grow over time, a bladder tumor will destroy and replace normal bladder tissue. Untreated, cancer cells from the bladder can invade other tissues within the pelvis, such as the lymph nodes, ureters, vagina, uterus, prostate, and rectum. In advanced cases, bladder cancer cells can also travel through the body, causing cancer to invade other organs and tissues, including the lymph nodes, lungs, liver, and bones.

Very few people play with dragons for a living. Consider Chris Sanders one of the lucky.Sanders directed (along with frequent collaborator Dean DeBlois) DreamWorks' new 3-D animated feature, How to Train Your Dragon, which boasts scores of scaly, fire-breathing critters. He was heavily involved with designing many of them—including the film's real star, Toothless. Sanders is no stranger to worlds filled with childlike wonder and fantasy, of course. When the future professional animator was attending the California Institute of the Arts, he spent summers working at an amusement park. After he graduated, he hooked up with Disney, diving in to the fantasy-laden realms the Mouse House is so well known for and working on such classic fare as Beauty and the Beast, Mulan and Lilo & Stitch. In person, Sanders is much as you'd hope: genial, jovial and still enamored with his craft. I had a chance to sit down with him and talk about Vikings, dragons, the art of animation and how Disney once made him loose his lunch.Paul Asay: For a lot of people, it really sounds like you've been living a dream life: working at an amusement park, working in animation, it sounds like your whole adult life has sort of been … Chris Sanders: Avoiding growing up? Asay: Well, yeah, maybe. So what got you keyed in to animation? Was that something you had dreamed of from the very beginning?Sanders: I always loved animation. And I loved Disney to the point where, when I was finally able to travel to Disney with my family for vacation and we checked in to a motel … you could see the Matterhorn sticking up in the distance and when I saw it I threw up. I was so excited, I couldn't believe it was really going to happen. So, I've always loved animation and I've always loved to draw. And I was always encouraged. My parents always encouraged me to draw, write and to do all these things. Asay: Right now, it feels like we're in another golden age of animation. There's so much really well-done stuff out there. Why do you think that is? Is it partly because of technology, because there are so many different ways to create an animated films these days? CG and 3-D and stop-motion and all that? Sanders: It is. It is. It's such a technology-based creature.Asay: Has it always been?Sanders: Yeah. It really has. In the case of CG, in particular, it's technology based. As the programs have matured and become more complex and become easier to use, you can get more out of them. And it frees you up to get down to the business of telling the story without you having to worry too much about how it's going to be accomplished. But no matter if it's a live-action film or an animated film, there's always limitations of time and technology and you can't always do everything. Somebody said this best to me, they said, 'We can do anything, but we can't do everything.' That just made so much sense for me. So you make choices at the beginning of a film about what you need and they'll accommodate it. So, yeah, I think it's the maturing of the technology and the maturing of the crews and the studios that work with it because there has been a gigantic learning curve just how best to tell a story in CG and how to work the camera. In this particular film one of the things I love to talk about is the lighting. Because we feel (we being Dean, my co-director and I) that CG films run notoriously over-lit and they look cartoonish because of it. It's an artistic choice but with this, we really wanted something special.There's this scene between Hiccup [the boy who captures the dragon] and his father. Its only lit by two candles and we have a little tiny bit of bounce that lights up the foreground of the faces. But the real triumph of that scene is what's not lit. It's having the confidence to let things slip away into blackness. So you build these sets and you don't light them entirely and that's pretty new actually. So it's one of those things about this film that I truly think has opened up a new avenue. Asay: That was a nice scene, too. You could feel the tension between the father and the son. And it's so universal to so many families. The son just wants to really please his dad and the dad really wants to embrace his son, but there's just a little bit of a disconnect.Sanders: There's still that zone, that no-man's-land that still exists between them. And the dad comes in thinking that some bridge has been built [when he thinks Hiccup is turning into a dragon killer, just like him]. I love that scene. That scene was actually written by Dean.Asay: I think that's the beauty of good writing, when you're able to deal with an issue that everyone knows and understands—but you're able to do it in a way that feels very real, very natural and doesn't beat you over the head. It's interesting to me, too, that in a lot of your movies you deal with characters that seem fearsome at first, but just need a little love and understanding: the Beast, Stitch and now, obviously, Toothless. Is there something about that theme that draws you? Sanders: Hardly anybody is pure evil or pure good. It's been something, ever since Beauty and the Beast, that I've been fascinated by, because in that story, the bad guy isn't the bad guy.With Lilo & Stitch, it's funny because there are a lot of things you can talk about in the film, but predominantly the reason why I pitched the film is because I wanted a "villain" to be the hero of the film. I felt like, Why couldn't the villain be the hero? So there's really no villain there. And I like that. Asay: But How to Train Your Dragon does have a true villain. That mama dragon is pretty awful. …Sanders: You know, you're right. In that case, we just needed something that was absolutely overwhelming. … [We wanted] the littlest thing in the Vikings' world to defeat the biggest thing in the dragons' world. The movie's about discovering your strengths and appreciating strengths in others. Here's a world where Hiccup grew up being convinced that he was never going to be a great Viking because he's so tiny and scrawny. The one thing that matters in their world is strength, but they have a very narrow interpretation of what strength is. I think the heartwarming thing about this story is that everyone is forced to broaden their view of what strength really is. Asay: One of the things that really resonated with me about this film—one of the reasons why I probably liked it as much as I did—was that Toothless reminds me of my dog. You had so many delightful moments with that creature. Were you trying to make the dragon feel so pet-like?Sanders: You know, actually it's true. We came to the film pretty late, and it had been predominantly cast and thoroughly designed. But we knew we had to change one of the dragons. Toothless is a creation of Dean and I. We wanted him to be less reptilian and more mammalian. So that was a very deliberate thing that you picked up on. He's very cat-like. He's very dog-like. He has elements of being a horse sometimes. So, yes, it was deliberate. Read Plugged In's review of How to Train Your Dragon.

ReplyDelete i just made these and found that the marshmallows did not really melt all the way..it may have been because I didn't move fast enough after the chips melted. However, in your directions you say to add the marshmallows in and stir until mixed but when I tried to form it into a basket, it wasn't sticking very well or molding into a basket. So, I melted the whole mixture in the microwave a little longer and once I did that- it formed into a basket much better! I dont know if you had trouble with this but just wanted to share!

1. The Unstoppable Whey Hydrolysate: The World's Fastest Absorbing Protein. Studies strongly suggest that the ingestion of a fast-acting protein/amino acid hydrolysate supplement can increase amino acid levels in systemic circulation where they are available for muscle protein anabolism (growth).* The more rapidly these amino acids rise in the blood, the greater the muscle building reaction. Hydrolysates like the ones found in Muscle-Peak have been shown to be the most beneficial form for bodybuilders and athletes as they absorb the fastest and therefore create the greatest spike in plasma concentration.*
2. Powerful Unstripped Whole Protein Fractions With Critical Growth Factors Intact: Muscle-Peak's unique manufacturing process retains critical bioactive lean body mass growth factors including di, tri and oligo peptides, beta-lactoglobulin, alpha-lactalbumin, serum albumin, and immunoglobulins. These critical growth factors are often stripped away in many protein supplements but their roles are of great importance as they have been shown to provide multiple growth factors including the powerful IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor).*
3. Muscle Cell Stimulators and Your Natural Rapid Recovery Cascade: Muscle-Peak is loaded with Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAA's, particularly Leucine), L-Glutamine and Creatine, some of the most powerful nutrients of their kind shown in clinical studies to help stimulate muscle protein synthesis and ATP formation.* Additional amino acids have been added to help stimulate your Natural Rapid Recovery Cascade so your muscles can regenerate and recover faster which provides for a more favorable state for muscle growth.*
4. Lean Muscle Ratio Keeps Muscle Full and Not Flat for Hard Dense Muscles: Muscle-Peak provides an outstanding choice for staying lean but without sacrificing muscle fullness.* Drinking a straight protein shake that is very low in carbs and fat can be useful for certain times but bodybuilding athletes often make the mistake of not taking in the proper ratio of macronutrients to keep their muscle lean and full. Muscle-Peak was designed with this in mind to help keep your muscles full and not flat for hard dense muscles.*

The Customer Service Balancing Act
Click here to download now
Overview: Balancing customer service quality and costs is an ongoing battle for most organizations. Superior service means higher labor spend, but shunting customers into long support queues and confusing self-help areas costs companies loyalty and retention. Conventional technologies don't help much: They're fragmented, with no unified view of customer interactions; they don't provide effective peer-based support, leaving customers frustrated and dissatisfied; and they do nothing to improve retention, knowledge-sharing and overall enablement of service rep teams. Learn how social business tools eliminate the conventional cost/quality trade-offs.

And AMD totally forgot their product which was selling still one year ago. F**k you AMD.
Ooh, nice, we happen to have a laptop with a Cantiga GPU. One more thing to look forward to.
I have two laptops with 855GME chipsets so it's nice to seem some work on the drivers for old hardware.
My ancient Radeon 7500/9200 cards that I still use in certain machines received new updates with the radeon driver less than a year ago...
Still, nice to see that I can still sometimes see updates for the graphics chip in my brothers Lenovo.
sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eettttttttt
thx chris wilson
how do I install it?
can I even install it or do I have to wait for kernel 3.8 ????

Just getting back into subs after a 15 year break whilst raising a family. No, I'm not British, I just always wanted to use the word "whilst" in a sentence.
I am digging through my boxes of stuff and have listed some parts for sale to fund my current project a 1/48 scale Fleet Snorkel Gato conversion.
So I'm having trouble figuring out who sells what here commercially, It seems like the old website had vendors categorized by product so it was a little easier to find stuff.
I see the banner ads and have checked all of them out. I love the improvements to the state of the art in model sub engineering, especially since we seem to have come full circle back to pump systems that were poo-pooed in some circles as "primitive".
So my first of many questions is where can I source lexan tubing and appropriate end caps for pressure hull construction. I could use a variety of sizes but the ballast tank will need to be at least 3.5 inches of not 4 inches in diameter.
Thanks in advance!

The interior of Maison Escalier is creatively designed with stark white-painted walls that contrast with rich, warm black locust wood floors and ceilings. The black locust wood also covers the central core walls and the staircase. Concrete boxes are installed on the existing walls to provide shelving throughout the house, and hints of lime green accent these boxes to give the interiors some diversity of color.
The steel structure of the home is comprised of multiple cantilevered floors supported by the core of the building. Through the integration of the stair, the whole of the house is an open floor plan with the only closed spaces being the bathrooms. No partition exists throughout these living spaces from the basement to the terrace on the roof. Each floor introduces a different view of the core of the home, and each space introduces lots of natural light. The daylight helps to keep this home from seeming too confined within its stone and steel walls.

What do you think of the
Giordana FormaRed Tall Cuff Socks
? Share a...
Don't buy
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I bought theses socks and other socks to use on a France Cycle trip. These were the only ones that did not hold up. They ripped at seam ( a run) on my first use. Buy something else.
Jose Luis
awesome socks I love it
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
this socks are great I recommended this product to any body
Awesome socks and great customer service
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
great socks...really love the way they fit and feel.
Mike Newberry
Very nice cycling sock
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Giordana has always been a solid go to for things cycling and these socks are no different. The socks are thin, fit great and made of good material. The cuff is high (but not too high)...the graphics are not too loud and are in a good variety of colors.
"Long Term" Review: These socks are still holding up!...they've been through a ton of washings, haven't shrunk, still plenty of stretch and elastic left..super comfy...highly recommended.

Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure
Loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) uses a thin wire loop to precisely cut out areas of the cervix. The cervix is a neck-like structure that connects the vagina and uterus. LEEP is done to remove abnormal cervical cells.
Reasons for Procedure
LEEP is often done after abnormal cells have been found on the cervix. These abnormal cells are often found on a Pap test . If the cells found on a Pap test show cervical dysplasia (abnormal cells) or cancer cells, a LEEP may be done.
Possible Complications
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
- Bleeding
- Abdominal cramping
- Infection
- Future pregnancy problems (small increased risk of premature births and having a low birth weight baby)
- Narrowing of the cervix (very rare)
- Incomplete removal of the abnormal tissue
- Accidental cutting or burning of normal tissue
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications such as:
- Smoking
- Drinking
- Chronic disease such as diabetes or obesity
The following may also increase the risk of complications:
- Menstruation at the time of the procedure—It is best to have LEEP done when you do not have your period.
- History of pelvic inflammatory disease
- Inflammation of the cervix
- Pregnancy or possible pregnancy
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Talk to your doctor about your medications. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to one week before the procedure.
The day of the procedure:
- If your doctor will be giving you a sedative, arrange for someone to drive you home from the clinic.
- If directed by your doctor, take a pain reliever right before the LEEP.
- Bring sanitary napkins to use after the procedure.
Local anesthesia is often used for a LEEP. This will keep you from feeling pain during the procedure. You will be awake during the procedure. The anesthesia may be applied with a lotion or injected into the area.
Description of the Procedure
You will lie on your back on a table with your feet up in footrests. The doctor will insert a speculum into your vagina. This tool will separate the vaginal walls. This will allow the doctor to see the cervix. Anesthesia will be applied to the cervix to numb the area.
The doctor will then apply a solution to the cervical area. The solution will show the abnormal area that needs to be removed. The doctor will insert a thin wire into the vagina toward the cervix. You will hear a vacuum-like noise. You may also hear a humming noise. The thin wire loop is like a surgical knife. The doctor will be able to gently remove the abnormal tissue. You will need to stay very still. The doctor will cauterize the area. This process heats the blood vessels to stop bleeding. A paste may also be applied to stop bleeding.
How Long Will It Take?
LEEP only takes a few minutes.
How Much Will It Hurt?
You may feel cramping during LEEP. You should not feel any sharp pain.
Post-procedure Care
At the Care Center
Your blood pressure and heart rate will be checked.
During your stay, the care center staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection such as:
- Washing their hands
- Wearing gloves or masks
- Keeping your incisions covered
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chances of infection such as:
- Washing your hands often and reminding visitors and healthcare providers to do the same
- Reminding your healthcare providers to wear gloves or masks
- Not allowing others to touch your incisions
At Home
After the procedure, you may have:
- Dark brown-black vaginal discharge for several days
- Mild cramping
- Watery pink discharge
When you return home, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
- Rest when you get home.
- Frequently change the sanitary pad.
- Take pain medicine as directed.
It will take a few weeks for your cervix to heal. For four weeks:
- Do not use tampons or douches.
- Refrain from sexual intercourse.
- Do not do any heavy lifting.
- It is okay for you take baths and showers.
- If advised by your doctor, have a Pap test and pelvic exam every six months.
Call Your Doctor
After arriving home, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
- Heavy bleeding (more than your normal period)
- Bleeding with clots
- Severe abdominal pain
- Fever or chills
- Unusual odor or discharge
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.
