Sebelius initially underreported to senators the size of those donations, though she apologized and said it was an inadvertent error. Republican Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma said Sebelius' position on abortion amounted to a "critical flaw" and he would vote against her nomination. Senators also want to get Sebelius in place to help shepherd Obama's overhaul of the nation's $2.5 trillion health care system to reduce costs [sic] and cover some 50 million uninsured Americans. _______________________________________________________________________ Kathleen Sebelius and her ally, supporter, "America's Dr. Mengele" late-term abortionist George "Baby-Killer" Tiller www.operationrescue.org/archives/hhs-nominee-sebelius-continues-to-conceal-full-extent-of-tiller-contributions/ _______________________________________________________________________ Voting Analysis: www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm 1.

Kathleen Sebelius was confirmed as Secretary of Health and Human Services today in the U.S. Senate after hours of debate, by the vote of 65 to 31. [ CCL Note: REPUBLICAN ] Senators Sam Brownback and Pat Roberts of Kansas both voted to confirm Sebelius over the strenuous objections of pro-life, conservative groups. [ CCL Note: Let no one ever again refer to Roman Catholic Sam Brownback as "pro-life." ] Most Senators who rose in opposition to Sebelius during the sometimes tedious debate voiced concern for her connections to late-term abortion[ist] George Tiller and her lack of candor over campaign contributions she received from him. Dr. Tom Coburn, Senator from Oklahoma said today that late-term abortion is "barometer for the soul of our nation," and that Sebelius "lacks part of the moral clarity" needed to lead our nation. "This is obviously a step in the wrong direction for our nation. With Sebelius, we can expect to see increased protections on predatory abortionists, taxpayer funded abortions, and rationed health care that could cost lives," said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. "With this confirmation, Obama is continuing to build a Culture of Death in our nation. "However, we are encouraged that 31 senators rose in opposition to Sebelius. That is more that we had first expected and we are grateful to each of them for their efforts to block this pro-abortion nomination. It shows a divided Senate that will be keeping a close eye on Sebelius in the coming term." ___________________________________________________________________________________ Senate Votes to Approve Pro-Abortion Obama HHS Nominee Kathleen Sebelius www.lifenews.com/nat5003.html April 28, 2009 ___________________________________________________________________________________ Sebelius Sworn In As Politically Damaged HHS Secretary www.operationrescue.org/archives/sebelius-sworn-in-as-politically-damaged-hhs-secretary/ April 29th, 2009 Washington, DC – Kathleen Sebelius was sworn in yesterday as the new head of the Department of Health and Human Services after seven weeks of delay, hours of contentious debate in the Senate, and a narrow vote. "We must remember that even though we did not block Sebelius' confirmation, we started out this process with essentially no opposition to her. She was a shoe-in that was expected to quickly sail through the confirmation process," said OR President Troy Newman. "I remember praying that we could get just one senator to vote against her at the committee level, and even that seemed like a daunting task. In the end 31 senators voted against her. She needed 60 votes to be confirmed, and she only got 65. We were successful at making her nomination all about abortion, especially late-term abortions that are opposed by 88% of the public. We were also able to expose Sebelius' friend and benefactor, late-term abortionist George Tiller, on a national level. "Because of this, Sebelius has become damaged political goods," said Newman. "She is going into one of the most important positions in our government with a radical agenda, but with clipped wings that could impede her ability to implement that agenda. That alone is a small victory for us." ___________________________________________________________________________________ Pro-Life Advocates Blast Senate Confirmation of Pro-Abortion Kathleen Sebelius www.lifenews.com/nat5006.html April 29, 2009 ___________________________________________________________________________________ 32 Members Of House Urge Obama To Withdraw Sebelius Nomination www.operationrescue.org/archives/32-members-of-house-urge-obama-to-withdraw-sebelius-nomination/ April 28th, 2009 _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Note from CCL: Both Operation Rescue and LifeNews.com have done a very good job in reporting on this egregious nomination of Baby-Killer Tiller ally Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius to Obama's Cabinet for HHS Secretary. Unfortunately, I must add that by forwarding their reporting, this in no way should be taken as an endorsement of any form of ecumenical pro-life activism (2 Corinthians 6:14-18), nor an endorsement of incremental, abortion/murder-regulation legislation. God's requirement for Murder is Justice, not regulation. This is why establishing legal "Personhood" at fertilization without any "exceptions" is so vital.

He and his wife, Linda, are the homeschooling parents of ten children. What does the Word of God say about the God-ordained roles of men and women ? God's creation-order design is for men to be the heads of households (e.g., Ephesians 5:22-33), to be the elders and pastors of churches (e.g., 1 Timothy 2:11-15; 1 Timothy 3:1-7; Titus 1:5-9), and to serve as civil ministers / magistrates in civil government. It is not God's perfect will for women to rule over men in the family, church, or civil government (including the armed forces - and it is not God's will for women to be the warriors-soldiers in a society). When women are in headship / rulership positions over men, it is a sign, judgment, and indictment against the men, who are failing to fulfill their God-ordained roles. It is a curse upon everyone, men and women. It is a curse upon a nation (e.g., Isaiah 3:12). Pro-Abortion, Bilderberger Sebelius full Senate vote April 28 - ACTION NEEDED NOW !

Masonry and Romanism both deny that the Messiah is the ONLY way to Salvation. The Saviour said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by Me." John 14:6 Masonry and Romanism BOTH deny the Son, and therefore do not know the Father. "Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus (Yeshua) is the Christ (Messiah) ?

In high school Clinton had been president of the Masonic youth group De Molay and in 1988 was inducted into the International De Molay Hall-of-Fame. Three Senators, all 33rd degree Masons, were instrumental in his acquittal: Majority Leader Trent Lott limited the time and the number of witnesses available to the House prosecutors; Republican Arlen Specter led the 10 Republican Senators who voted to acquit; Democrat Robert C. Byrd, although publicly acknowledging Clinton's guilt, actually voted for acquittal, and set the example for all other Democrats.

Bush's close ties to the Pope, how our Protestant Constitution is being systematically destroyed and replaced with Roman Catholic Canon Law, "as goes God's people, so goes the nation", the dire consequences for Protestant apostasy, the coming Babylonian captivity, the coming American Inquisition, the Global Roman N.W.O. Empire.

Its increasing domination over America's affairs amounts to a conspiracy the grip of which must be broken by an informed and alarmed American citizenry. If CFR influence over our federal government isn't soon broken, America will be reduced to a mere province in a socialistic world government where freedom has disappeared and national sovereignty is but a dim memory.

Say good-bye to the U.S. dollar, and what is left of American sovereignty and the U.S. Constitution. Say hello to the "amero" (or some form of global currency) and the North American Union, unless America repents of child-sacrifice (abortion), which causes God to visit tyranny, oppression (Psalm 106:37-44), invasion and war (2 Kings 24:1-4) upon a people. America kills 3,000 children in the wombs of their mothers each day by surgical abortion alone, and many more by chemical abortion (e.g., through the abortifacient mechanism of birth control pills). Their shed innocent blood cries from the ground for vengeance, and God hears their cry (Gen. 4:10), and He is repaying America for our wickedness. Our national sin of child-murder-by-abortion has already begun to be recompensed by God in blood: ours. (Num. 35:33; Jer. 19:3-5; Ezek. 35:5,6; Hos. 4:2; Ps. 106:37-44 (God turns child-murderers over to tyranny); 2 Kings 24:1-4. Our only hope as a nation, is Repentance before a Holy and Just God, Whom we have offended greatly (e.g., Leviticus 20:3). George Mason, Virginia delegate to the Constitutional Convention, 1787: "Every master of slaves is born a petty tyrant. They bring the judgment of heaven upon a country. As nations cannot be rewarded or punished in the next world, they must be in this. By an inevitable chain of causes and effects, Providence punishes nation sins, by national calamites." America lost over 600,000 American lives in the War Between Americans (1861-1865) as a result of God's divine judgment UPON BOTH NORTH AND SOUTH for the national sin of America's institutionalized chattel slavery system. Child-murder-by-abortion, child-sacrifice, the shedding of innocent blood, is a NATIONAL SIN. Will America have to lose 600,000 (or proportionally more) lives to war or terrorist attack before our eyes are opened to seeing the connection between national sin and national calamity ??? Just as God is already bringing incrementally greater divine judgment (e.g., 9-11, War in Iraq, ongoing Foreign Invasion by 12-20 Million Illegal Aliens, USA Financial and Economic Crisis, etc., etc., etc.) upon America for our federal, state, and local government-protected, institutionalized system of child-murder-by-abortion in our approx. 730 abortion centers, and hospitals, and doctors offices, today... www.lifedynamics.com/DeathCamps/DeathCamps.cfm Abortion is a national sin. 9-11 was a national calamity. 3,000 innocent people were killed on 9-11-001; 3,000 innocents are killed DAILY in America's 700+ abortion death camps - just a "coincidence" ?

The Saviour said the Second Great Commandment is: "THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF." (Matthew 22:30). The church (i.e., born-again Christians), stands in great jeopardy of terrible persecution in this country, at the Hand of God as a Divine Judgment, for doing, in the opinion of many pro-lifers who have labored for 20 years or more to end this ongoing 36-year-plus holocaust of bloodshed, far, far less than the church is capable of doing. If you think that 9-11 is the most severe attack upon America that God will allow / cause, then you do not know history, the Bible, or God Himself, as He is truly revealed in the Word of God (all 66 books of the Bible !). America will not survive as we presently know it . America will be destroyed, if we do not repent, of the national sin of child-murder-by-abortion, beginning with the Church. When the Christian church truly repents in America, I believe that one of the signs (fruits) of that repentance will be an increased presence of born-again Christians, on-site, outside America's 700+ abortion death camps, crying out to God to stop the slaughter ! Why could not a few members of a church come out even once-a-year on a Saturday ? Why could not a pastor and elders conduct their church's worship service out in front of the "gates of hell" at the local child-extermination center ? Why are not more full-time pastors outside their city's death camp(s) preaching outdoors against sin and about salvation ? ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 Chronicles 7:14 - God's remedy for America to be healed is for we who are CHRISTIANS to REPENT !

Alabama Records 12 West Nile Cases, 1 Death
Alabama has recorded 12 cases of West Nile virus this summer, with one death so far. State Health Officer Don Williamson said Friday that Alabama is ahead of where it was at the same time in 2008, when 18 cases were diagnosed. 2009 saw no cases, and 2010 had three. Six of the cases this summer have been in Montgomery County, and that's where the fatality occurred with a man over 60 years old. Three cases were in Mobile County, and one each in Baldwin, Jefferson and Tuscaloosa counties. Williamson attributed the high number in Montgomery County to doctors in the county historically being more aggressive about diagnosing the illness. He said the majority of the cases are never diagnosed because they result in mild symptoms. Copyright 2012 The Associated Press.

Carrie Underwood, Adam Lambert Among Highest-Paid American Idols
Reality TV sure is a real money maker!
Forbes magazine has released a list of the highest-paid American Idol alumni, with Carrie Underwood and Adam Lambert topping this year's chart. The magazine calculated the singers' earnings on a pre-tax basis, before subtracting agent and manager fees.
PHOTOS: Where are your favorite Idol stars today?
"[American Idol is] a money-making machine," Adam Kluger, the president of brand partnership company the Kluger Agency told Forbes. "It's like having the Super Bowl every week."
Earning an estimated $20 million, Underwood, 28, has five Grammy Awards to her name, and in 2010, made her feature film debut in Soul Surfer. Having recently surpassed Kelly Clarkson as the best-selling Idol of all time, Underwood's most recent disc, Play On, has sold more than 2 million copies in the U.S. since its 2009 release. (Clarkson ranked fifth on the current Forbes list, with estimated earnings of $2.5 million.)
VIDEO: Watch Carrie Underwood's sitcom debut
Lambert, 29, makes his first appearance on the Forbes list for his $6 million payday between May 2010 and May 2011. The season 8 runner-up -- who tied for second place with Chris Daughtry -- played 116 concerts worldwide in the last 12 months, Forbes reports.
Though Lambert and Daughtry, 31, had strong showings, the list was largely dominated by Idol's female contingent. Oscar winner and current Weight Watchers spokeswoman Jennifer Hudson landed in sixth place with $2 million, but was bested by season 3 runner-up Fantasia Barino and season 6 champ Jordin Sparks.
VIDEO: Us Weekly goes behind the scenes at the season 10 Idol finale
The full Forbes list of highest-paid American Idols is as follows:
1. Carrie Underwood: $20 million
2. Chris Daughtry: $6 million (tie), Adam Lambert: $6 million (tie)
3. Fantasia Barrino: $4 million
4. Jordin Sparks: $3 million
5. Kelly Clarkson: $2.5 million
6. Jennifer Hudson: $2 million
7. Kellie Pickler: $1.8 million
8. Clay Aiken: $1.5 million
9. Katharine McPhee: $1 million (tie), David Archuleta: $1 million (tie), David Cook: $1 million (tie)

Comments in italics are the responses of the author to the information presented.
Dr. Joel Schuman of the University of Pittsburgh presented his thoughts on optic nerve and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) imaging in glaucoma at the Hawaiian Eye Meeting, January, 2009. He began with an introduction of the different technologies used in glaucoma imaging, including confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (eg; HRT), scanning laser polarimetry (eg: GDX), and optical coherence tomography (OCT).
The participants in the Ocular Hypertensive Treatment Study (OHTS) were analyzed at baseline with the HRT 2 and these characteristics analyzed to see if they were predictive of which individuals progressed to glaucoma (Zangwill et al, Archives of Ophthalmology, 2005). The positive predictive value for an HRT classification "outside normal limits" was 14%, and 40% for a Moorfields Regression Analysis for superior temporal quadrant abnormality.
Another study by Lalezary et al (American Journal of Ophthalmology, 2006) studied the baseline OCT measurements to predict the development of glaucomatous change in glaucoma suspects. Their conclusions were that thinner OCT RNFL measurements at baseline were associated with development of glaucomatous change in glaucoma suspect eyes. RNFL thinning was an independent predictor of glaucomatous change, even when adjusting for optic nerve assessment, age, intraocular pressure, central corneal thickness, and pattern standard deviation on visual field.
One must interpret the findings of these tests carefully and in context, however. For example, Dr. Schuman presented a case of a 40 year old African American male with an IOP=23 mmHg, CCT=555 and a large cup to disc ratio of approximately 0.8. The HRT shows this to be outside normal limits by the Moorfields Regression Analysis in 5 out of 6 sections, with the remaining nasal section borderline. At face value, this may be a patient that many would begin treating. However, the visual field is normal, and the OCT RNFL shows a full RNFL. On closer examination of the HRT, the optic disc area is 3.95mm2, well above the normal range. This case represents one of physiologic cupping with a large optic disc resulting in a large optic cup and high C/D ratio.
While the OCT parameters of RNFL thickness can be followed for change over time in order to track glaucoma progression, he cautioned that validated, robust software for this purpose is not yet commercially available. Longitudinal studies are currently being performed (such as the Advanced Imaging in Glaucoma Study: see aigstudy.net) in order to identify those parameters that are best able to diagnose glaucoma and follow progression in the various technologies.
He then showed a case study of a patient with relatively normal looking optic nerves followed over time. On the red free photography, one can appreciate a RFL defect in the left eye infero-temporally. On GDX VCC testing, the NFI is OD=8-10, OS=18-20, but careful analysis of the color coded thickness map reveals a possible focal thinning in this area. Similarly, the HRT 2 shows a normal Moorfields Regression Analysis and Glaucoma Probability Score, but the TCA Overview Report shows some highlighting for change in this area. The Stratus OCT exhibits a full RNFL map on TSNIT analysis, but the RNFL thickness deviation map does show the RNFL defect, which lies mostly outside the scanning circle.
Newer Fourier Domain OCT scanners are developing software to examine not only the peripapillary nerve fiber layer, but also the macular RNFL. Macular scanning was found before with time domain OCT to not be useful in the diagnosis of glaucoma. However, by segmenting the retina into layers and establishing the Ganglion Cell Complex (comprised of the nerve fiber layer, ganglion cell layer, and inner plexiform layer), macular OCT scans may significantly aid in the detection of glaucomatous damage. Dr. Schuman presented examples from this case study showing the superior detection of this nerve fiber layer defect on the macular thickness scans, especially on the Ganglion Cell Complex analysis.
He concluded by remarking that "imaging technologies standardize interpretation of ocular structure at an expert level, allowing detection of subtle abnormalities and changes. By using structural imaging plus functional measures, a subtle defect or change can be confirmed, eliminating the need for repeated confirmatory retesting. Thus, optic nerve and RNFL imaging enable earlier detection of disease and progression."
Optic nerve and retinal nerve fiber layer imaging are certainly valuable in the diagnosis of glaucoma. However, the technology is still improving, as is the ability to follow patients over time and accurately detect progression. At this time, imaging remains an important resource to the physician treating glaucoma, but it is not of itself able to detect and follow disease. The data need to be put into context, and balanced with functional testing (visual field) and clinical impression to truly practice the art of glaucoma treatment.

PAD may be suspected based on symptoms, such as intermittent claudication, and your medical history. Other signs of PAD, such as weak pulses in the lower extremities, may be found during a physical exam.
PAD is often confirmed with an ankle-brachial index (ABI) test. Blood pressure is measured in arteries at the elbow and ankle with a blood pressure cuff and Doppler ultrasound. The pressures are compared in a ratio. If the ratio is lower than expected, it indicates a problem with blood flow in the legs. If you have an irregular ABI test, your doctor may recommend a treadmill test to assess your walking ability and distance.

Title: | The GLTD:GCA ratio: A tool for public financial management |
Creators: | Russell, Eric |
Advisor: | Keeler, Andrew G. |
Issue Date: | 2008-04 |
Abstract: | This paper investigates the ratio of general long-term debt to general capital assets' influence on municipal credit ratings – signals of risk to investors – and coupon rates. Given current uncertainty levels in credit markets, it is paramount that low risk be signaled to sell debt and maintain the lowest possible debt costs for municipalities. It has been found that the GLTD:GCA ratio significantly influences credit ratings, but not coupon rates. Because this research and prior studies indicate that credit ratings affect coupon rates, findings suggest that management should explore using this ratio as a metric for municipal financial condition. It also shows that unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, the ratio of bonded debt outstanding to taxable assessed valuation, and local economic conditions are significant factors for both points of interest. By monitoring these variables and developing strategies to control and influence them, favorable credit ratings will be obtained leading to lower coupon rates and debt service requirements. The expected end result is increased available funds for critical public services. |

Who Eugenie can trust is the hardest part. Fairy king Dorian has his own agenda for aiding her search. And Kiyo, her shape-shifter ex-boyfriend, has every reason to betray her along the way.

User Reviews
- 15 Jul
This is the 3rd book in the "Dark Swan" series, and is just as good as the first two books. The storyline is exciting and fresh, and Eugenie Markham is a tough modern heroine. This book provides a few good plot twists and surprises, and the author keeps us guessing right up until the end. Richelle Mead is a great modern author, who is adept at writing fresh and exciting supernatural fiction. The characters are believable and well-written, the plots are surprising, and the gorgeous male leads provide the right amount of sexual tension. The only downside to reading this book is that you want to immediately pick up Book 4, & this isn't available until 2012! Highly recommended.

No, it's not a joke, and no, we don't really hate mountains. "I Hate Mountains" is the name of a Left 4 Dead 1 & 2 campaign made by three French friends. Be aware that this campaign is built the Valve way, we are not trying to revolutionize anything, we just want to provide more content to this awesome game. The campaign is divided into five different maps, just like Valve did with their own campaigns in Left 4 Dead 1. The difference is that ours is entirely nature-oriented, there's only a few building and most of the action takes place in outdoor environments, which is a challenge to build in itself. We also focused our development on offering a better re-playability by providing several long alternate paths in the levels that can totally change the way you play it.
This is it! No, we ain't speaking about the Michael Jackson post-mortem movie but about the Left 4 Dead 2 version of I Hate Mountains subtly dubbed I Hate Mountains 2! We are hereby releasing the 1.2 version of both Left 4 Dead 1 and Left 4 Dead 2 versions of the campaign.

This is it! No, we ain't speaking about the Michael Jackson post-mortem movie but about the Left 4 Dead 2 version of I Hate Mountains subtly dubbed I Hate Mountains 2! We are hereby releasing the 1.2 version of both Left 4 Dead 1 and Left 4 Dead 2 versions of the campaign.
It certainly took time, almost 8 months... At the beginning, we honestly thought this port would be a piece of cake, but we just couldn't figure how difficult it would be and how life would change for each of us following the release of the first version. Between missing content, broken features, crashes and unexplainable issues, we were really this close to give up during these last months.
To be entirely honest, the 1.2 version for Left 4 Dead 1 was already finished for a few months (since august 2010 to be precise), but due to a huge lack of motivation (we're working on it for over 2 years now) and Nicolas' departure who decided to move and directly hate mountains in Canada, we had almost stopped the Left 4 Dead 2 port. But finally, we decided to keep going on when a Polycount manager asked for an interview and fresh news about it. We realized that some people were still waiting for the Left 4 Dead 2 version and we didn't want to disappoint them.
We worked hard on it and we managed to fix everything we could. But despite all our efforts, some minor issues remain unsolvable as of today. Those are actually listed on the I Hate Mountains forums and in the README.txt file included in the download. But you should still be able to play the Left 4 Dead 2 version in quite an optimal way compared to what we thought would be achievable. We really spent a lot of time to test the campaign with a fellow French gaming team which allowed us to fix plenty of unusual and rare exploits.
Finally, You should keep in mind that this new version of I Hate Mountains is really an exact port of the Left 4 Dead 1 version. We didn't spend much time tweaking the maps with the new available assets, but above all we didn't change our specific art direction (it's still dark). By the way, we thank Valve for the last DLC for both games that allowed us to use the old survivors in Left 4 Dead 2 and to preserve the true spirit of the campaign.
We hope you will enjoy I Hate Mountains again, be it with the updated Left 4 Dead 1 version or the new Left 4 Dead 2 one with all the features and improvements of the second game. You can enjoy it right know on this friendly French server: Left4dead2 'playersfactory' 22.214.171.124:27015

Best of Seven Series - Game One - Jazz vs. Fest
Da fess is off to the first game in a best of 7 showdown by the Grandstand. Chances for rain are looming so we arrive early. The Indians sure don't sleep, they out here in full getup doing the rain dance. I took in some Latin sounds by !OTRA! while enjoying my morning bake. The melodic Caribbean rhythm took me right back to the close of last years fest. 15 years of jazz fest experiences all implode in my brain. This place is the same as always to me the fess never stops. My 300 plus hours of jazz fest become one single experience in music, food,and fellowship. I wish I could freeze Jazz Fest in time and relive all the great musicians that have blessed these sacred grounds. After acquiring my usual morning libation of Rose Mint Tea I took in some Zydepunks whom I've been dying to catch. The barefooted, tattoo-clad krewe rocked punk riffs through fiddles and sang the most beautiful Cajun French I've ever heard. The Fess is calling or is that Bamboula 2000.
Peace, love & da Fess.

Gary Johnson's decision to drop out of the Republican presidential race to run as a libertarian instead, first reported by Politico, doesn't change the primary's complexion -- the ex-New Mexico governor was a non-factor in the polls and participated in only to only two debates.
But under the right circumstances, his appearance on the general election ballot could affect that race, and possibly boost President Obama's chances by siphoning fiscal conservatives from the Republican nominee. Here are three ways his candidacy could make an impact:
- SuperPAC Money: Most analysts assume a third-party candidate has to have vast personal wealth to fund his or her campaign, like New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. The candidates just won't have the fundraising apparatus to compete with the Republican and Democratic nominees otherwise. But new rules, ushered in after the Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling last year, allow the candidate's supporters to set up their own fundraising committee that can raise money in uncapped contributions, groups called SuperPACs.
Even if they can't coordinate with the candidate himself, their availability changes the fundraising calculus: In theory, even one wealthy donor could supply a SuperPAC with a multi-million dollar warchest to blanket the TV airwaves with ads supporting Johnson. Of course, finding one or a multiple group of donors to fund such an expensive effort, one that still would have the smallest of chances at winning the presidency, isn't easy. But if the former governor does, his candidacy will get a badly needed platform to stand on.

Dot 4 fluid will be fine, but won't function nearly as well as 5.1 because it has a lower boiling point, meaning it cannot handle the higher temperatures that come with downhill riding. Whatever you do though DO NOT USE DOT 5 FLUID! The previous owner of my brakes had them shop bled and the mechanic used dot 5. The o-rings are now coming apart, and chunks of them are flushed out when I bleed them. This is at least what I got from my talk with those guys yesterday.
