ICON A5 design enhancements announced, edges closer to production
By Darren Quick
July 27, 2010
Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) manufacturer, ICON Aircraft, has announced two major design enhancements aimed at to simplifying aircraft complexity and increase safety in its A5 amphibious, two-seat, composite carbon fiber plane. The first improvement for the plane,which is edging closer to production, is the elimination of wing flaps, which will simplify pilot operations, while the second is a spin-resistant design that will include, amongst other things, the addition of wing cuffs to lower the stall speed of the aircraft.
Spin resistance
While general aviation is inherently quite safe, when accidents do occur, it is the stall/spin scenarios that are responsible for 13.7 percent of all fatal accidents, according the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA). Of these accidents, it is slow-speed maneuvering prior to landing that is the most common accident scenario. Making the A5 spin resistant will help ensure that the pilot maintains control of the aircraft at all times, even if the airplane is inadvertently stalled.
"Spin resistance is arguably the most significant safety improvement we could add to the already docile-handling A5," said Matthew Gionta, ICON's CTO and VP of Engineering. One safety feature already on the A5 is the Angle of Attack (AOA) indicator (standard on modern fighter jets) that shows the pilot at any given time exactly how the wing is flying, and most importantly, how close they are to a stall. "When combined with the AOA indicator, spin resistance adds a second level of safety where, in the event of a stall, the A5 remains wings-level and the pilot does not lose control of the aircraft."
Eliminating the flaps
Removal of the flaps is the other improvement to the A5. Flaps are typically used to reduce an aircraft's stall speed for landing. However, Light Sport Aircraft regulations already require that Light Sport Aircraft stall no faster than 45 knots without the use of flaps. Given this FAA requirement combined with the LSA maximum speed restriction, ICON eliminated the A5 flaps since they offer marginal benefit for their increased complexity.
"When an airplane can function equally well with less complexity, the result is increased safety," said Gionta. "The pilot of an A5 will never have to remember to set the flaps for landing, whether on water or land. This is a classic example where simplicity is elegance, and that translates directly into a safer aircraft for our pilots."
Stepping up the pace
To ensure its focus remains solely on the remaining development of the production aircraft design, ICON Aircraft has announced Liberty Aerospace of Melbourne, FL, and Flytech Kft. of Szombathely, Hungary, as their suppliers of structural composite assemblies for the ICON A5 Light Sport Aircraft.
ICON says outsourcing the composite structure manufacturing will not only allow it to reach production more quickly, but will also accelerate the production ramp to meet the demand it is already seeing for the A5.
ICON will receive major composite structural assemblies from these suppliers and will control all system installation, final assembly, finishing, and testing prior to delivery, with A5 production taking place at ICON's facilities in Southern California.
ICON is currently taking orders for the A5. But don't worry if you haven't got your wings yet. The company says over one third of ICON's current orders come from individuals who are not yet pilots – hopefully that's not a cause for concern, but rather a reflection of the safety and accessibility of the A5 for novice pilots.
The first 100 customer deliveries of the A5 are reserved for the company's ICON 100 program. This will be a Limited Edition (LE) series with a custom paint job and interior. They will be available for the fixed price of US$135,000 (no CPI increase) with deliveries scheduled to begin in fall 2011. The standard A5 is priced at US$139,000 (plus CPI increase) with deliveries scheduled for fall 2012. Orders can be placed at the ICON Aircraft website.
Nice aircraft.
But I don't see why they can't have parts made here as shipping costs from east Europe are more than labor savings in Fla. Keep it American. After all the composite parts costs are not that big of the planes cost. Also CF weight savings is rarely as much as people think. Done right FG and kevlar, ect can be just as light as CF at 20% of the cost.

Now it needs some towing covers to smooth over the forward ends of the wings and wing attachments when it's on the trailer. They put a small fairing on the trailer tongue, but that smoothing would be 'uncompensated' by the chunky bits at the wing fold point.

That thing is pretty much as cool as cool can get!

Updates below on who voted for the DeLay Rule, and who stood tall against it.
Interesting little story at Time.com on the DeLay Rule. Apparently the debate went on for four hours, and it was heated. One of the most passionate against was conservative Arizonan J.D. Hayworth. And sources say more than just a handful voted against:
As many as 50 G.O.P. Representatives shouted, "No!" when the voice vote over the rule change was held, sources in the room told TIME.
This raises the obvious question: Given all the absences (see below), was there really a majority?

Hi morning lovely readers,
One of the things we're hearing a lot in bridal department is, "I don't want strapless!" It's true that this trend has taken over the bridal industry with a vengeance over the last few years, and for good reason: strapless necklines are universally flattering. However, more and more brides are growing weary of this trend, and are looking for something new. Why not choosing cap sleeve wedding dress for your big day?
A cap sleeve wedding dress is a happy medium between sleeves and no sleeves. Cap sleeves wedding dress is the perfect compromise for the bride who wants sleeves, but is maybe having a spring or summer wedding, and doesn't want the weight of more fabric. So use your best judgment when choosing your cap sleeve wedding dress.
Thanks for your time and have a great day

The election race between Gary Kespohl and Karl Skala is a repeat from 2007, when Kespohl lost by 83 votes. He said that Skala's voting record is the biggest difference between 2007 and now. The Third Ward is a rather large, diverse area that has recently been the site of several contentious land use issues, such as the Richland annex, the Stadium Road extension and the new high school. This election could represent a major shift in the dynamic of the Columbia City Council; Kespohl and Skala are very polarized candidates and almost always sit on opposite sides of issues such as downtown cameras, infill and smart growth, and building revenue for the city. The election is April 6.
The candidates:
Their responses to 11 questions on the issues:
- New sources of city revenue.
- Crime and safety in the city.
- Downtown surveillance cameras.
- Economic development incentives.
- Growth management.
- Sales tax for parks and recreation.
- Reapportioning City Council wards.
- Duties of the city's new sustainability director.
- Transparency in city government.
- Transportation needs in the city.

Fall Recipe: Austrian Potato Salad
I love mashed potatoes so much. They are, without any question, my favorite part of the Thanksgiving meal.
But, I also love all things vinegar. I've been eyeing this recipe from America's Test Kitchen for Austrian Potato Salad (what's the difference between Austrian and German potato sald? I'm not sure, though this one is bacon-less) and I think it'll make an appearance in the coming week, whether it's on the Thanksgiving table or made in the days after with leftover tubers.
Use Yukon Gold potatoes if you can, as they're the creamiest, and don't be stingy with the salt. Happy eating!
Austrian Potato Salad
Serves 8
2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes (about 4 large) peeled, quartered lengthwise, and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth (or vegetable, if need be)
1 cup water
1 tsp salt plus more to taste
1 tbsp sugar
2 tbsps white wine vinegar
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 small red onion, chopped fine (about 3/4 cup)
6 cornichons, minced (about 2 tablespoons)
2 tbsps minced fresh chives
ground black pepper to taste
Bring potatoes, broth, water, 1 teaspoon salt, sugar, and 1 tablespoon vinegar to a boil in 12-inch heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until potatoes offer no resistance when pierced, 15 to 17 minutes. Remove cover, increase heat to high, and cook 2 minutes.
Drain potatoes in colander set over large bowl, reserving cooking liquid. Set drained potatoes aside. Pour off and discard all but ½ cup cooking liquid (if ½ cup liquid does not remain, add water to make ½ cup). Whisk remaining tablespoon vinegar, mustard, and oil into cooking liquid.
Add ½ cup cooked potatoes to bowl with cooking liquid mixture and mash with potato masher or fork until thick sauce forms (mixture will be slightly chunky). Add remaining potatoes, onion, cornichons, and chives, folding gently with rubber spatula to combine. Season to taste with plenty of salt and black pepper. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Washington Wolf Packs: Salmo
February 2013
The Salmo pack has at least two confirmed members, as confirmed by aerial surveys.
An adult female was captured and radio-collared in September 2012. Continued monitoring should provide a better understanding of the composition of this pack.
Based on earlier radio-collar data, about one-third of this pack's home-range is in British Columbia with the rest in the northeast corner of Washington The pack was named for Salmo Mountain in Pend Oreille County.
The Salmo Pack was first documented in August 2010 when a male pup of the year was captured and radio-collared about two miles south of the Canadian border in eastern Pend Oreille County. End of the year surveys confirmed the pack consisted of just two adults and that single pup, so it was not counted as a successful breeding pair for 2010.
In spring of 2011 WDFW confirmed that the Salmo Pack denned in Washington. No reproduction was confirmed during summer surveys and no pups were counted at the end of 2011.

One Lovely Day--Citizen Cope Please refer to this video for the strumming pattern: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-9jXewqVxw e|---5---x---3---4----| B|---5---3---3---5----| G|---5---5---4---4----| D|---7---4---5---6----| A|---7---5---x---x----| E|---x---x---x---x----| Pretty much the same sequence throughout, see the video above for chord timing/ strum pattern. Here are the lyrics since they don't exist elsewhere: [verse 1] She won't give in... She won't crack a smile or a grin. She won't give in, but she sure is different. It's written in red all in her eyes, there's no disguise. Well she lost so much until one day [chorus] Together we could go..... to where there ain't no more pain, Together we could fly.... to where there's time for you and I. Together we could walk to the river, stand with the families, move to the sound of the band of Atlantis, one lovely day, One lovely day.... One lovely day, one lovely day. [verse 2] She won't let on.... the feelings she got ain't so strong, She won't let on.... but I'm never gonna leave her alone. It's written in red all in her eyes, there's no disguise. Well she lost so much until one day, yeah... [Chorus x2]
Good job with the tabbing!
Bonus info
The third chord makes use of the thumb on the 3rd fret on the E-string.
The fourth chord makes use of the thumb on the 4th fret on the E-string.
The chorus consists of following chords:

A|---7---9 ---x---7
E|---x---8 ---7---6
OK - the verse is:

the chorus ("together we could go...") is not that - it is:

at least that sounds about right to me

I bought this candle on a whim at an end-of-season sale earlier this year and packed it away for when the weather turns colder. I tried it out over the weekend, and wow! It's a creamy peppermint fragrance that really fills a room. Probably a bit much for people who don't like minty fragrances. I can even smell the candle a bit when it is not burning. I think it's terrific, but then I like fresh, minty fragrances.

I like this scent it's fresh and a very Christmasy scent that isn't overpowering.I will agree with another poster that once blown out, this scent doesn't linger, but hey I have bath and body plug ins with staying scent power

So I got this candle after eyeing it for ages. The scent was a perfect balance between peppermint & a little bit of vanilla. I loved it. During the first burn the candle started smelling a bit like burnt wax mixed with peppermint.That was alright as the smell of burnt wax was really light. When I extinguished the wicks(which were thin), they had lumps formed on the top. The next day when I ignited the wicks the lump things exploded and there were black pieces of those lumps all over the white wax, I cleaned it out & trimmed the wicks & removed the remaining lumps.
After which I reignited the wicks & I could hardly smell anything except for burnt wax. The lumps form again during every burn.The candle jar smells disgusting, just like the burning candle, which smells worse.
I just hate it.
I am highly disappointed by the performance of this candle. I would never ever even reconsider buying it again.

I thought this was ok. My nose detected a vanilla/ peppermint hybrid, though I thought it could be heavier on the peppermint. I bought the small candle size and was surprised how strong the aroma was when I used it.The scent lingered well for a couple of hours which was nice. I prefer other scents to this, but this is good to burn during the winter.

I really don't understand any negative reviews on this product because this is my absolute favorite candle of all time. I LOVE peppermint flavoured or scented anything and when I smelled this I instantly fell in love. I bought it just before Christmas and its gone already - now I'm kicking myself for not getting a backup. I have NEVER smelled a candle so close to the scent of the real thing. Those who say it smells like anything else other than pure peppermint must have a faulty product because I cannot believe how real this smells - when its just sitting there and when its being burned. The scent spreads nicely and lingers in my place for hours afterward - anyone who walked into my house said "I smell candy canes"! Its embarrassing how much time I spent just sitting with the unlit candle to my nose enjoying the scent of it. I'm obsessed with this and if I could give it a million lipsticks I gladly would. Got this on a 2/$20 deal so its well worth the $10 in my opinion! I had no trouble with the wicks and it burned evenly right to the bottom. This better come back out next Christmas because I'll be buying a supply of these to last me all year round!!!

I bought this on sale for $6 during an after-Christmas sale. I've never been a fan of the Twisted Peppermint lotions, sprays, shower gels, etc. but I thought it would be a nice home fragrance. The scent isn't too complex...vanilla and peppermint, not much else. It's a nice sweet, cozy smell that's especially nice for the colder months.
While the scent is nice, this doesn't have the throw that most Bath and Body Works candles do. B&BW and Yankee candles can literally smell up my entire (small) apartment, but this doesn't throw much further than the room it's burning in. Even sitting right next to this, the scent is very soft. I know I got this for sale, but for $20 full-price, I want a strong smell that will linger. I've gotten compliments on how nice my room smells, but only while this is burning. Once you blow it out, the scent is gone.
Overall, not my favorite Bath and Body Works candle. I've had a better throw from their itty-bitty sampler candles in other scents. I'll definitely continue to buy more candles from them, but next holiday season I won't be going for this one.

These have the sharpest, most foul scent when burnt, but if melted or simply smelled, it is fine... It's unfortunate that it's not the same when actually a burning candle! :(

I really loved this scent when I first got it. It was a nice cool peppermint fragrance, but it soon became overpowering. I also had a problem with the wax changing to a yellow color and not it almost has a smoky scent that is not appealing with the peppermint. I have used about 1/2 of it, but I'm not sure I can handle burning the rest as the scent now makes me nauseous unfortunately :(

This is one of my favorite candle scents. I generally only use BBw candles . I go stock up when they are 2 for 20. I never have had any issues with wicks not burning properly. I just make sure before I light candle I trim off top of wick because they sometimes get a large top on them that when yo light makes it pop and makes black mess go all over. Anyway I think the scent is great clean pepper mint and not too much

Call me crazy, but if you're going to claim a slice is the best around, perhaps having a picture of a piece that doesn't look like poo is a good idea. That doesn't look appealing one bit.
Best Slice of Pizza Phoenix 2010 - Jimmy & Joe's
At most pizza joints, a slice usually adds up to a snack — we'll take two or three to make a meal. But Jimmy & Joe's lives up to its "serious slices" tagline with jaw-dropping pieces of New York-style pizza so big that each one is served on its own individual pan, with its own pizza cutter to boot. The crust is chewy and blistered around the edges, thin and crisp in the middle, and sturdy enough to deliver heaps of toppings straight from the plate to your mouth. Try the aptly named Carnivore (with salami, pepperoni, ham, sausage, and meatball), the spicy Buffalo Chicken, or, really, anything that's hot out of the oven.

In-vivo diffusing-wave-spectroscopy measurements of the ocular fundus
Optics Express, Vol. 15, Issue 7, pp. 4030-4038 (2007)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (659 KB)
We present what is to our knowledge the first observation of a diffusing-wave-spectroscopy signal recorded in-vivo on the ocular fundus. A modified ophthalmic microscope was developed which can acquire diffusing-wave-spectroscopy signal from the eye fundus. The diffusing-wave-spectroscopy signal was recorded in-vivo on a rabbit eye during transpupillary thermotherapy. Experimental results show the ability of the system to detect motion of the scattering sites in the ocular fundus layers during laser thermal heating.

Alan Haller Named Varsity S Club Executive Director
MSU Athletics Department Organizes Random Acts of Spartans
Spartan coaches and staff members volunteer in the Greater Lansing area to support the community.
Michigan State Associate Athletics Director Alan Haller is in his fifth year with the athletic department and is second as the executive director of the Varsity `S' Club.
Haller has led the transition of the Varsity `S' Club into being a fully integrated part of the MSU Athletics Department. The Varsity `S' Club was previously run entirely by volunteer Spartan letterwinners before Haller was named the executive director in January 2013. With the utilization of the resources of the athletics department, the collaboration has enhanced the club's ability to gather and engage all Spartan letterwinners through more involved interaction.
Haller, who joined the athletics department as an associate athletics director for administration in 2010, directs and oversees all areas of the Varsity `S' Club as part of his role as associate AD. The biggest initiative has been to increase membership by reaching out to past Spartan student-athletes. In addition to serving as the executive director of the Varsity `S' Club, Haller is the department's student-athlete ombudsman and the liaison to other departments on campus.
Prior to his appointment in athletics, Haller was a 1st Lt. for the MSU Police Department and served on the force for 13 years.
A four-year letterman as a cornerback for Coach George Perles from 1988-91, Haller earned honorable mention All-Big Ten honors as both a junior and senior. His career totals include 199 tackles, eight pass break-ups and three interceptions. He made three postseason bowl appearances with the Spartans (1989 Gator, 1989 Aloha and 1990 John Hancock).
The former Lansing (Mich.) Sexton star was selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the fifth round of the 1992 National Football League Draft. Haller spent three seasons in the NFL, playing for Cleveland (1992), Pittsburgh (1992-93) and Carolina (1995).
While serving as a 1st Lt. for the MSU Police Department, Haller was in charge of the Uniform Division, which is the largest component of the department.
During the football coaching search in 2006, Haller played a key role in the hiring process of Mark Dantonio, joining former MSU Athletics Director Ron Mason, head men's basketball coach Tom Izzo, and Hollis on the selection team.
Haller holds a bachelor's degree in criminal justice from Michigan State and a master's degree in human resources from Central Michigan.

Late Night: Colbert rips Santorum's false claims about California schools
- April 4, 2012
Rick Santorum, watch out: Stephen Colbert is watching you.
In recent weeks, the satirical host has made it his mission to fact-check the hyperbole-prone presidential candidate; he even launched a Twitter hashtag, #inmyheart, ridiculing Santorum's tall tales about Dutch euthanasia.
On Tuesday night, Colbert once again criticized Santorum, this time for his false claim that "seven or eight of the California system of universities don't even teach an American history course."
"That is an outrage. American history should be one of the cornerstones of college education," Colbert said with feigned indignance. "The only thing that would be more outrageous is if this were true."
As it turns out, all the California state universities and all but one UC school offer American history courses; the only one that doesn't, UC San Francisco, is a medical school. Santorum's outlandish charge was enough to make Nancy Thompson, chair of Cal State East Bay's history department and a Republican, remark, "I think he just kind of pulled it out... I don't know where he pulled it out of."
Colbert presented a different theory: that Santorum had, once again, pulled the allegations out of "his heart."
He also took aim at Santorum's dubious sourcing. "Like all critics of higher education, Rick subscribes to the same West Coast newspaper I do. It's the Something From the State of California News," Colbert said, as he scanned the headlines of the fake newspaper. "Oh, what do you know? At UC Davis you get an 'F' if you're not gay."
He ended the segment with a word of warning for the candidate. "I certainly hope that when Rick Santorum moves on to the California primary June 5th, he does not get an intestinal blockage, because I do not think the doctors out there are as qualified as Santorum to pull things out of his [rear end]."

LONDON (Reuters) - South African miner Lonmin (LMI.L) is set to price its rights issue on Friday to raise up to $800 million from investors to help cut debt and finance its recovery after six weeks of deadly strikes at its platinum mines.
The company is also due to report its results for the year ended September 30 but will not yet be able to answer the question of whether Xstrata XTA.L, its top shareholder, will sign up to the rights issue, which is fully underwritten.
Xstrata, which is still in the throes of being taken over by its own largest shareholder Glencore (GLEN.L), is still considering its position and whether it will invest to maintain its 25 percent holding in Lonmin which it was left with after a failed takeover attempt four years ago.
Glencore has little appetite for platinum, sources familiar with the matter have said, and prices are far off their 2008 peak.
"Nothing has been said yet. (Xstrata) have always played their cards very close to their chest," said one source familiar with the situation.
"Xstrata have got other situations going on in the background, which may or may not influence their involvement."
Lonmin (LONJ.J) said last month it needed the rights issue to restructure a balance sheet that is one of the most stretched in the sector, thanks to cost inflation, cooling demand for platinum and mining stoppages due to safety issues - all factors which obtained even before the crippling strikes that caused it to lose 110,000 ounces of platinum output.
In August Lonmin's Marikana mine was the scene of South Africa's most violent episode since the end of apartheid, when police shot dead 34 people involved in wildcat stoppages battering the country's already beleaguered platinum industry.
Most of Lonmin's miners have since returned to work, but the producer has scaled back long-term plans to boost annual production to over 900,000 ounces, requiring it to raise less new money than some analysts had initially forecast.
Sources familiar with the situation said the discount at which the new shares will be sold - being hammered out by Lonmin's bankers in last-minute talks - was expected to be in line with other rights issues aimed at repairing balance sheets, discounted between 35 and 45 percent.
The shares are already down more than 50 percent so far this year, making them the second-worst performer in the sector.
Shareholders will vote on the rights issue and terms on November 19, with the issue itself to follow two to three weeks later.
Without the rights issue Lonmin would have seen a revised debt agreement scrapped and would likely breach key covenants as the new debt agreement is conditional on Lonmin raising at least $700 million by the end of the year.
"Lonmin needs this money to 'stay in the game'. Current and prospective shareholders will have to chip in at least half the value of their existing holdings to allow their investment to remain viable," CIBC analysts said in a note.
"To get payback on this will require a metal price basket increase of at least 25 percent by our estimates."
Lonmin is expected by analysts to report a loss before tax of $18.5 million for the year ended September 30, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S Estimates, which compares with a $315 million profit in the previous year.

Injury rules Peel out
Scrum-half suffers torn hamstring
Last Updated: 10/03/09 1:25pm
Peel: Hamstring injury
Dwayne Peel will miss the remainder of Wales' Six Nations campaign after suffering a torn hamstring.
The scrum-half will be replaced in the starting XV to face Italy in Rome on Saturday by Ospreys' Mike Phillips, with Warren Fury of London Irish providing cover on the bench.
Peel, who has started only one Test during Warren Gatland's tenure as Wales head coach, suffered the injury playing for his club Sale Sharks in their 32-25 Guinness Premiership loss to Newcastle on Sunday.
He is expected to out of action for a month, meaning he will also miss Wales' final match of the Six Nations, against Ireland in Cardiff on Saturday week.
Fury, who joined the squad for training on Monday, won two caps as a replacement during Wales' tour of South Africa last summer.

The people that moved here didn't move here because of the businesses," said Palm Beach Planning and Zoning Commission Chairman Susan Markin at a recent meeting while discussing a planned review of parking regulations. "They moved here because it's a premier residential community."

In late October, we all begin getting our Halloween costumes in order and there's nothing but horror movies to watch on TV, which brings to mind one of my first cartoons about the Royal Poinciana planned unit development.
It visually referenced a retro poster for the horror flick House on Haunted Hill to illustrate how lots of scary predictions were being floated in public as to what would happen to Palm Beach if the proposed ordinance was adopted: more condos, CityPlace-like density, a new precedence for unrestrained development across the island and the destruction of Palm Beach charm.

more about
This good looking 1939 Pontiac has been in my family since 1967. My father bought from a friend and co-worker, who himself had purchased it from the orignal owner's estate. When he was ready to sell and move on to a different Pontiac, my Dad was Johnny-on-the spot with the cash! By 1995. he had grown tired of the upkeep, and gave it to me for my birthday, one of my best ever. My niece in Dayton Ohio gets the credit for pushing me into the wedding livery business. She had worked with My Wedding.com, and convinced me to check them out. So here we are. As always, thanks for looking at Classic Transport, I look forward to working with you.

In Reply to: BUYER BEWARE: Samsung Canada Customer Service SUCKS by 100017682
Just wanted to give an update on my situation. I was able to speak to someone at Samsung Canada and have them review my case. Apparently, there have been some changes at Samsung which could explain the lack of response to customer complaints. However, after reviewing my situation, I am happy to report that Samsung has decided to step up to the plate and resolve my issue.
I hope that the changes at Samsung will lead to better customer service that compliments their outstanding products.

Find over 200 print-friendly fact sheets about heart disease and related health topics.
Your heart muscle needs oxygen and nutrients to work as it should. A heart attack (your doctor may call it a myocardial infarction) usually occurs when blood flow to the heart is suddenly cut off. When this happens, the heart muscle is starved of oxygen-rich blood. In just a short period of time, part of the heart can be damaged or die. That's why immediate care is critical—it can spare your heart and save your life. If you think you are having a heart attack, dial 9-1-1 immediately.
If you've had a heart attack, you know how scary it can be. And you're not alone. Over a million Americans have a heart attack each year.
Unfortunately, once you've had a heart attack, your chance of having another one is higher. But, there are steps you can take to protect your heart. Taking prescribed medications, following an exercise program tailored to you, maintaining a healthy weight and being careful about what you eat can all help keep your heart healthy. Controlling your blood pressure and lowering cholesterol are also important steps to help prevent another heart attack.
No two heart attacks are the same. If you've already had a heart attack, listen to your body. A repeat attack may feel very different. Both men and women can feel the classic crushing chest pain or tightness (called unstable angina), but they often report very different symptoms. Some people might instinctively know it's a heart attack, others have more subtle symptoms.
Knowing the symptoms of a heart attack and getting treated right away can save your life. Use this condition center to learn more.

Dear Dr. Don, I have an old dividend statement linked to shares of a company that were purchased for me around the time of my birth. My father is listed as the custodian, but my Social Security number is the taxpayer ID. The company tells me the shares were transferred to a brokerage account in October 1995. Is there any way to trace this transfer and find out what happened to the shares? They are worth $50,000 today. My father and grandfather have died, and this is all the information I have about the stock.
Thank you, -- Spencer Shareholder
Dear Spencer, Because the shares were purchased for you when you were a minor, your father was named custodian under either the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act or the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act. That means that your dad controlled the shares while you were young, but they came under your control when you reached legal adulthood, or the age of majority, in your state. This varies by state, but typically is when a child reaches either age 18 or 21.
You should be able to find the shares quite easily using the unclaimed property site known as MissingMoney.com. If your state doesn't participate on the site, you can usually check on your home state's office of unclaimed funds website.
The brokerage firm would have an obligation to turn the shares held in the account over to the state after a period of inactivity in the account. If you had reached adulthood in 1995, the shares should be registered in your name. If not, you can search using your father's name.
Happy hunting! It sounds like this could be a financial home run for you. By the way, this really should be a do-it-yourself project. You shouldn't have to hire someone to track down these shares for you.

Former page 3 girl Keeley Hazell has not given up on her dream of becoming a star of the big screen, with three movies currently in production. Keeley first appeared in a feature film back in 2006, as Frozen Girl in Sainsbury's in the movie Cashback and, although her acting career did not explode from there, she has not given up on becoming a movie star.
Keeley Hazell first became a household name when she was victorious in the Page 3 Idol competition held by the UK newspaper The Sun. Keeley was only 18 at the time but managed to beat thousands of other entrants to win the £10,000 prize, along with a one year modelling contract with The Sun.
Keeley headed to the US in 2009 to receive acting lessons and has since won over enough people to appear in three upcoming movies. Hazell is set to star in the movie How to Stop Being a Loser, which is due to be released on October 10, as well as St George's Day and Whispers. Keeley Hazell will always experience her critics but that will never defeat her ambition to become a true star of the big screen.

Thor in "The Ding-A-Ling Family" (Hostess Ads #36)
On a site dedicated to making a wiki history of all things comics, comics ads should not be forgotten. Especially the ads for Hostess Fruit Pies, Twinkies, and other snacks. Starting in 1975, Marvel and DC heroes (and the Harvey characters!) spent seven years throwing Hostess snacks at a bizarre line of villains to stop their crimes. Although many of the villains were completely silly, they were created specifically for these ads, and in many cases, not even the names have been used again, since the ads stopped in mid-1982. |
So I thought I'd show an ad here, and make a list of the comics I find it in, as I run across them. This list features: Thor in "The Ding-A-Ling Family." As noted on the Hostess Superhero Advertisements page:
Led by Grandma Ding-a-Ling, this family of outer space rednecks (Ma, Pa, Auntie, Sister, Brother, and Cousins Bee and Bye) appeared out of nowhere to battle Thor and the Asgardians. Despite Thor and Volstagg fighting mightily, it was Sif's plateful of Hostess Fruit Pies that won over the dumber family members and ended the Ding-a-Ling cosmic threat.
You Get A Big Delight In Every Bite <35 (Hostess Treats) 37> Enjoy. |

Mindswap | ||||||||
Robert Sheckley | ||||||||
Narrated by Tom Weiner | ||||||||
Blackstone Audio, 4 hours, 39 minutes | ||||||||
A review by John Ottinger III
Sheckley was known as a humorist, and his situational comedy is superb. Allowing his laughing pen full
reign, Sheckley brings more and more wit with each passing moment, while also delving into themes of truth,
right and wrong, and the nature of reality. Hapless Marvin is a character that any downtrodden young soul (or
those who were young once at least) will easily identify with. Marvin is the gangly, silly, not quite cognizant
young man just beginning to see what the universe is really like, and just how it can eat trusting young people
for breakfast.
Readers raised on a steady diet of science fiction may find the story rather simplistic. The story is also full
of a Marx Brothers style of humor that may not appeal to the modern palate. Written in 1966, there are of
course some anachronisms, but surprisingly, the concept of mindswapping is only just a little bit closer
today, leaving this novel still very prognostic. Readers who enjoy Piers Anthony, Terry Pratchett, Douglas
Adams, or other broadly comical, witty, satirical, and slightly absurdist writers, will find this novel to
be an early genre gem.
The story is quite a fun one, full of wacky adventures and Three Stooges-like comedy, excellently voiced by the
talent of Tom Wiener. Wiener, whose voice credits include Ghost in the Shell, Buffy the Vampire
Slayer and the voice of Grimlock in Transformers: Robots in Disguise, gives each character an
individual voice, even cadence, so that it is quite easy for the listener to follow the story. In fact, Weiner
does so well, oftentimes, you might believe that you are listening to a full cast, rather than a singular
reader. ĀWeiner paces the reading well, though in the car it is occasionally hard to hear the reading as Weiner
pitches his deep baritone rather higher for feminine voices.
My one true caveat to this production is not the book itself, but in its format. The edition I reviewed
came in MP3 format on a CD. Theoretically, this sounds like a good idea. Readers will be easily able to transfer
the work to a computer without "ripping" it, and can play it on any CD player capable of playing MP3 CD's. Sadly,
I owned no such CD player and was forced to place the MP3 files on my iPod. However, this took some doing,
as finding the MP3's on the disc was difficult, then iTunes would not recognize them without some workarounds,
and a project that should have taken five minutes, took two hours instead. I appreciate Blackstone Audio's
catering to the digital age by providing an MP3 CD, but they may want to think about making them easier to
use, possibly have one large file in the CD as well for those who upload audiobooks to their MP3 capable devices.
John Ottinger III's reviews, interviews and articles have appeared in many publications including Publishers Weekly, Sacramento Book Review, and Tor.com. He is also the proprietor of the science fiction/fantasy review blog Grasping for the Wind. |

Hyannis to get a chance at the scup (porgy), and tautog (blackfish) found in these waters. Our captains are the most experienced, our crews…the most helpful. And while we can't guarantee you a catch, we can offer you a great time that is fun for the whole family. So while you're on the Cape, why not try your luck?
SCUP (Porgy) Small-mouth fish with strong jaw teeth. Adapted to feeding on shellfish and crustaceans. Silver in color, usually ½ – 1 lb and found on sandy bottoms.
TAUTOG A very good food and game fish, averages 6 lbs, and is found in summer around rocks, piers and ledges feeding on mussels and other mollusks. Tastes great as Cape Cod Fish & Chips, and as Fish Chowder.
BLACK SEA BASS Delicious white meat that can be baked, broiled or fried. A superior game fish, this bottom fish is often found near rocks, feeding on crabs and small fishes. Average 3 lbs, but can go to 6 lbs.
Did you ever see a feeding frenzy?… the water "boiling" with fish? It can happen when you're after blues, one of the strongest fighting fish found in these waters. It's the most talked about fishing trip on the dock…and the excitement is contagious! And when the blues aren't biting we'll switch gears and go for the best tasting fish "in the sound"…the fluke. It's the Captain's Choice, and we have everything you need to take part in the action. All you have to do is show up!
BLUEFISH A voracious sport fish, common in Nantucket Sound. A strong fighting fish that can tire even the heartiest fisherman.
FLUKE (Summer Flounder) Everyone's favorite. Member of the Flounder family of bottom fish. The top side is brown, the bottom side is white or pale. Anglers get them near the shore in summer from Maine to South Carolina.
BLACK SEA BASS Delicious white meat that can be baked, broiled or fried. A superior game fish, this bottom fish is often found near rocks, feeding on crabs and small fishes. Average 3 lbs, but can go to 6 lbs.

Embattled former Jharkhand Chief Minister Madhu Koda on Saturday alleged some political higher-ups had hatched a conspiracy to tarnish his image before the assembly polls and said he is ready to quit politics if money laundering charges against him are proved.
"I am very much aware that some political higher-ups are working against me. I shall expose them at an appropriate time," Mr. Koda told PTI here.
The Lok Sabha MP, facing investigation by Income Tax and Enforcement Directorate on charges of amassing over Rs 2000 crore through hawala transactions and illegal investments, said he had struggled hard to reach a position in politics but his adversaries were "playing dirty tricks to tarnish his image".
Mr. Koda, who has written a letter to the ED seeking rescheduling of the date of interrogation in view of the assembly elections in the mineral-rich state, claimed there was a political conspiracy to keep him away from the people before the polls.
Mr. Koda wrote that it was his basic right to participate in the polls and requested to fix a time after the elections.
"In case you do need some information urgently, you may let me know the details of your queries in writing and I will try my best to answer the same at the earliest possible," the letter, a copy of which was given to media last night, said.
The ED has issued fresh summons to Mr. Koda, the third in a week, to appear before it in Ranchi on November 19. Earlier it had served summons for appearance on November 13 and 15.
"This (the charges) is a political conspiracy as people don't want me to succeed as an independent legislator," Mr. Koda earlier told reporters.
Claiming that the money laundering charges against him are "baseless", Mr. Koda, however, said he would continue to co-operate with the investigating agencies.
The former chief minister said his supporters had recently floated an outfit 'Jharkhand Navanirman Sena' which would field six candidates in the elections.
Mr. Koda also threatened to file defamation case against a section of media for publishing reports tarnishing his image before the elections.
The media should publish reports with evidences. "But unfortunately that is not the case," he said.
The ED has so far arrested Vikas Sinha, brother of Mr. Koda's aide Binod Sinha, in connection with the case.
Mr. Koda, who was the chief minister between September 2006 and August 2008, won Singhbhum seat in the May Lok Sabha elections. Prior to that he was the Mines Minister in the Arjun Munda government.
