Alcoholism is a chronic and often progressive disease that includes problems controlling your drinking, being preoccupied with alcohol, continuing to use alcohol even when it causes problems, having to drink more to get the same effect (physical dependence), or having withdrawal symptoms when you rapidly decrease or stop drinking. If you have alcoholism, you can't consistently predict how much you'll drink, how long you'll drink, or what consequences will occur from your drinking.
It's possible to have a problem with alcohol, even when it has not progressed to the point of alcoholism. Problem drinking means you drink too much at times, causing repeated problems in your life, although you're not completely dependent on alcohol.
Binge drinking — a pattern of drinking where a male consumes five or more drinks in a row, or a female downs at least four drinks in a row — can lead to the same health risks and social problems associated with alcoholism. The more you drink, the greater the risks. Binge drinking, which often occurs with teenagers and young adults, may lead to faster development of alcoholism.
If you have alcoholism or you have a problem with alcohol, you may not be able to cut back or quit without help. Denying that you have a problem is usually part of alcoholism and other types of excessive drinking.

Office and Residential Building
in Ascona, Switzerland
Contract: 2007
Construction period: 2008 - 2010
Design: Eckhard Gerber
Project director/Project manager: Jens Haake, Andrzej Bleszynski
Project team: Andrea Colosio, Georg Kolendowicz, Jan Kallert, Stefan Lemke, Nele Vogelsang, Sakine Sahinbas et al.
Client: E. und M. Dreier
Gross area: 5.938 m²
Volume: 23.551 m³
The new residential and commercial building is being developed at a sophisticated, urban location directly within Asconas historic centre. As an elongated cube, the project attaches to the pre-existing structure, continuing its form as part of the urban development. Its clear, skeletal structure stands in contrast to the surrounding area, while the heavily glassed façade makes it seem as though the building were dissolving into it.
The public colonnade along the road rises to the street corner as a welcoming gesture, reaching a height of up to three storeys. Contrasting with the surrounding area is a sunken forecourt containing the UBS Bank entrance, which as the buildings main tenant occupies a large part of the ground and first floor areas. The ground floor also houses a piano bar and two stores, creating a pleasant mix of uses that adds value and contributes to the revitalisation of the surrounding area.

The fuel injection that rests on top of your Corvette's engine has gone through several stages of development. Each step of the way has been fueled (pun intended) by a continuing search for more power, fewer emissions, and better driveability. Fuel injection has progressed from the first mechanical fuel-injection (Ram Jet) units, which operated much like a carburetor, to the computer-controlled systems that seem to almost think for themselves. This transformation did not happen overnight, though. There have been several milestones in the procession toward perfect fuel injection.
Follow along and we'll take a look at the milestones that became stepping stones for the next generation.
The mechanical fuel-injection (Ram Jet) systems from Rochester were the first fuel-injection units for Corvette. They were designed to meter fuel according to the intake vacuum readings but, instead of allowing the fuel to be drawn into the intake according to the venturi principle, a regulated amount of fuel was introduced directly above the intake valve under considerable pressure. While still subservient to an engine's vacuum signal and capable of controlling only fuel, for the times, the system was a major improvement over carburetors. They controlled fuel better and were not subject to fuel sloshing in the float bowls during racing situations as was the carburetor.
GM engineers introduced the new Ram Jet fuel injection to the Detroit Section of the Society of Automotive Engineers, and touted it as capable of correcting carburetor deficiencies, improving fuel economy, and reducing hydrocarbon pollution. While it did help fuel delivery, several Achilles' heels hindered the system. Tuning it was one of the major problems. Being mechanical fuel injection, it did not self-adjust to accommodate changing situations. Changes in temperature and altitude could turn a great-running engine into an emissions-belching anchor.
Compared to today's computer-controlled systems, the mechanical fuel-injection systems are relegated to history and occasional drives to and from shows. They have a strong following, and Corvettes originally sporting these systems are highly sought after by collectors. There are subcultures within Corvettedom that deal exclusively with these early Rochester mechanical fuel-injection units. If the owner doesn't mind taking the necessary time to understand and care for these early FI units, driving a car with a Ram Jet can be exhilarating.
And driving them is probably the best thing you can do for them. They are a vented system, which means that if you allow them to sit for extended periods of time, the fuel inside the fuel meter will evaporate, leaving behind a film of varnish. Eventually, this buildup will start to affect the way the system operates, confirming the rumors about why so many of these systems were discarded in the first place. Whether you swear by the performance of these early Fuelie Corvettes or you swear at the mechanical fuel-injection systems, you'll have to agree this was the means by which GM broke the 1hp/ci barrier, and it took a fuel-injection unit to do it.

When it comes to turning over, it always seems that Corvette starters tend to dislike two things: Compression and heat. Increase the compression ratio and the starter isn't happy. Increase the temperature and it gets grumpy. Mix high temperature (engine and ambient) with a higher-than-normal static compression ratio and the starter becomes downright cantankerous. To make matters worse, whenever the thermometer really rises, you too can personally approach the boiling point, particularly if you have a Corvette that refuses to crank over, let alone start. Sound familiar? If it is, then you need to check out the following pages. It's a look at modern starting systems, aimed directly at modified Corvettes that, appropriately, have added heat under the hood (as you know it's an all too familiar saga--adding horsepower adds heat). And it's jammed with real cures for hot starting headaches. Take a look. You won't be sorry.
Geared Reduction
Why is it that starters give up at the worst possible moment--such as when you're at a car show or cruise night and you jump into your Corvette to profile and for the lack of a better term, to show off? And why is that an 800-plus cubic inch Mountain-Motored drag race engine combination (complete with a 15+:1 compression ratio) has no problem turning over, but your 11:1 compression ratio 350-inch small-block-powered Corvette fails to spin at even the slightest hint of heat soak?
Those are tough questions, and they've been addressed in countless magazine pages by way of a plethora of quick fixes (rewired starters, Ford solenoids, heat shields, header wraps, etc.). But the real answer is the starter that's bolted to the side of the block. Let's back up a bit: Decades ago, racers discovered the gear reduction starter--a design that was initially popularized by the old Chrysler Corporation. Those Mopar-based gear reduction drive starters worked. But the trouble with the Mopar system was (and still is) weight. That starter was a very hefty piece--try bench-pressing one a few times and you'll know exactly what we're talking about. And to add to the troubles with the Chrysler-configuration starter is the inherent complexity of the unit. Sure it will start a hot, large displacement engine with ease, but if you use one, the (considerable) superfluous mass is on the wrong end of the Corvette. Then racers and manufacturers noticed something: Many Japanese vehicles are also fitted with gear reduction starters. In-line four cylinder engines power many of those cars. It's been said that the firing order arrangement of an in-line engine can actually create more difficult starting problems than those associated with V8 power plants. Just as important, those "off shore" starters proved small, light and durable. Bingo. Lights went off.
Increasing Starter Torque
What was really needed was a lightweight, simple gear reduction starter that combined the best of the vintage Mopar designs and the later Japanese configurations. Given this situation, several aftermarket companies came up with a new starter design (such as the McLeod "Mini Hy-Tork" starter shown in the accompanying photos). This starter design relies upon a gear reduction format: With a gear reduction of approximately 3 3/4:1, the motor can turn easily at a significantly higher RPM. Why is this important? Typically, a starter motor will draw higher electrical energy loads at low turning speeds. The gear reduction format solves that problem. Loads are decreased, windings are not as likely to become overheated and far less current is demanded from the battery. In the end, a starter such as the McLeod only requires roughly 250 amps of current to function (that could be as much as half of the draw found with a conventional starter under this condition). This leaves a considerable amperage reserve for the ignition system to supply spark to the turning engine.
But just as important, these mini-starters also deliver a whopping 50 percent more torque to the flywheel (or flex plate if your Corvette is automatic-equipped) than a conventional original equipment starter. Internally, some of the mini-starters on the market include full ball bearing construction. This small starter configuration not only allows for long service life, it is also less susceptible to heat (or even cold) problems.

Element-Hz™ Digital-Audio Fiber Optic/Toslink Cable 2 Meter (6.56ft)
This High Grade cable line from Element-Hz brings you the best of what's important and was specifically created for your digital audio demands. We've gone the extra mile and then some to create what we think are the best cables on the market…We made the connectors extra short for those tight installs and we've terminated them with precision-polished fiber for true performance, and like all of our Element-Hz cables they come colored coded by length for easier identification. That said, we know you're going to love these cables!
Sound you can feel
If you're looking for that explosive surround sound experience that leaves your ears begging for more, then you're going to need a quality digital interconnect with high bandwidth that's ready to perform and pass those thundering signals. Many cables use inferior materials which tend to have small imperfections which can cause distortion and even dropped data. Our Element-Hz cables are crafted with a thick fiber PMMA material that's incased in a CL3, UL listed jacket and is guaranteed to out perform your expectations. If you're trying to rock the block or just rattle the room, use Element-Hz fiber optic cables on your home theater install.
Our Round PVC Jacket is CL3 Rated and as soft as they come! They're ridiculously flexible and offer a strong strain relief for those sharp 90 degree turns.
Even though we've got a ridiculously flexible jacket, there are some things we're just not flexible on; and that's quality. If you were to cut these cables open, you would see that they're made with PMMA fiber & gold plated connectors for uncompromising performance. We think you and your customers will appreciate the exquisite build quality these cables offer.
Ziploc® Bags
Ever been on the job and open all your cables up, start to run the cable only to realize you under estimated the cable length? Most cables are packed in standard poly bags, which can no longer be sold as new. We listened to the run-ins you've experience in the field. That's why all of our Element-Hz cables come bagged in Ziploc® bags! This simple package alteration allows you to maximize your profits and eliminates the need for B-stock or unwarranted discounts. Simply coil the cable back up and use as new.
Easy to Stock
There are a lot of options when it comes to cables; so we had to find creative ways to make things easy for you while on the job…Our connector ends are not only color coded by length which makes distinguishing the difference between a 2 or 3 meter cable easy, but we've also printed the length right on the end of the connector for flawless identification.
Smaller is better!
We know you appreciate the little things; that's why we designed the connector body on our cables to be a small & compact as possible to fit into those tight spaces.

Reviews for Winning Cream of Asparagus Soup
Sort By :
"On the bland side, I was looking for something rich, I think I would do four cups chicken broth and two cups of cream instead, I'll continue my search."
"AWESOME!!! Reminds me of the asparagus soup we got in Iceland."
"This recipe was simple and delicious! I skipped the first step and just let the asparagus simmer a little longer and used vegetable bouillon instead, the end result was very tasty. I'll definitely be making this again."
"I actually blended this to hide the chunks of asparagus from my kids who at times can be picky eaters. I also did not have green onions so, I substituted with part of a yellow onion.. Itworked like a charm and they loved it!!! Very delicious!!!"
"This was a really great recipe. Due to health in my family, I had to cut out the salt and I used Mrs. Dash Herb & Garlic seasoning...quite a bit actually, 2 T but it was still great. I forgot...I did put half of mine in the food processor to "thicken" it a little because I used skim milk...not my favorite but the way life is"

Can you rewrite this program in NXC? I don't have a 2.0 kit, but I think I have enough parts to rebuild it anyway. I'll just use the HiTechnic color sensor. (And my computer has trouble with NXT-G. Not enough RAM for anything more complicated than the examples.)

We went and purchased an original rubiks cube and after careful assembly we have two issues. The color sensor is having issues differentiating between orange and red . The tilter arm is not positioning the cube at times and we are having to manually place the cube in the correct position. Any help in resolving the color issue would be great .

It's already in NXC Tim.
Ages ago I rewrote a version of this for NXT 2.0 and it differentiates the colours flawlessly. Look on NXtasy.org in the forums for posts by me "Dodgey".
The real challenge comes with getting the machine to consistently handle the cube accurately and not get jammed or slip. The secret is in having a very loose/well lubed cube.
I plan on rebuilding this soon but adding PF motors to straighten the cube after each move, using PFMate as the inteface. Problem is I broke my cube! :-)

We need help! My 10 year old son build the tilted twister 2.0 and we downloaded the new program to the brick. When we run it the sensor arm does not swing over the cube and it stops after it says "thank you". We know the sensor and motor work. It also seems to go very slow even though we have new batteries in it. Any ideas out there?

For instruction on downloading the code and sounds to the brick, you can find infos here :
It's for an other "robot" but the method is the same.
For info the solver works well with an original Rubik's Cube, but badly with a clone one.
Also it's best to set the turntable to it's home position (anti clockwise until block) before starting.

The tilted twister 2.0 seems to work but doesn't solve our (original) Rubix cube correctly. Any suggestions for troubleshooting? Is there a different program available we could try? Thanks.

Never mind... we discovered that we had a wrong piece in the construction of the color sensor arm. Replaced that piece and now it works great! Yay!!

Derek Thompson is a hard-charging hockey player whose nickname comes from his habit of separating opposing players from their bicuspids. When Derek discourages a youngster's dreams, he's sentenced to one week's hard labor as a real tooth fairy, complete with the requisite wings and magic wand. At first, Derek "can't handle the tooth" -- bumbling and stumbling as he furtively tries to wing his way through strangers' homes -- doing what tooth fairies do. But, as Derek slowly adapts to his new position, he begins to rediscover his own forgotten dreams.

Health Reform's Next Test
In St. Paul, Minnessota, for shoppers scramble to finalize health coverage before the new year.
Failure, flop, fiasco—however you describe it, the Obama administration's rollout of Healthcare.gov will go down as one of the most embarrassing episodes of public mismanagement in recent history. In principle, the defects of the website have nothing to do with the merits of the Affordable Care Act. As a practical matter, however, the two have become intertwined, and the big question is how much damage the flawed rollout will do to the political survival of the ACA as well as those in Congress who voted for it.
In the short run, Healthcare.gov's problems have undermined trust in both the law and liberal government. They have created a general impression not just of incompetence but of failed promises, obliging the president to adopt an apologetic tone and shaping the media narrative about the ACA. Public approval of the law has dropped significantly as support has fallen among key Democratic constituencies such as the young, women, and Latinos.
But whether these judgments persist depends at least in part on objective performance. Some state exchanges worked well from the start, and Healthcare.gov improved by December, though it was far from perfect. The law's fate may hinge on whether enrollment for 2014 falls so far below projections as to drive up premiums for 2015, convincing many people that the reforms are counterproductive.
Here's the core problem: The more difficult it is to enroll, the more likely people with high medical costs will predominate among those who sign up. After all, they have the motivation to persevere, while individuals with no immediate medical needs may not even try to enroll or may give up in frustration. But no insurance system can work well unless the healthy as well as the sick pay into it.
Signing up people was never going to be easy. According to a 2012 survey, three-quarters of the uninsured were unaware that the law would soon give them new opportunities for health coverage. As a general rule, news about any product or program has its biggest effect on those who have little prior information about it. So the harsh glare of early publicity may have had an especially powerful impact on the very people who would benefit from the ACA.
The relentless attacks on "Obamacare" by right-wing organizations and conservative media have probably also affected enrollment, at least among their target audience. According to Gallup surveys conducted throughout the fall, while 25 percent of all un-insured Americans said they would remain uninsured in 2014, that proportion stood at 45 percent among Republicans without coverage and only 15 percent among uninsured Democrats.
In addition, states where Republicans hold power have erected significant obstacles to enrollment. Not only have most red states refused to expand Medicaid or set up their own exchanges; some have also barred public employees from helping with enrollment and established stiff licensing requirements for "navigators," designed to deter private groups from offering assistance. The ACA did not create any federal capacity to offer direct, in-person help with sign-up and payment arrangements to the many un-insured who have limited education and no bank accounts. So, in the red states, ideological opposition and deliberate political sabotage, the incompetent rollout of Healthcare.gov, and the limits of the ACA may keep enrollment far below expected levels.
To be sure, the ACA was supposed to spur broad enrollment through the "individual mandate"—the penalties for failing to buy coverage. But the penalties for 2014 are relatively small, the government has little power to enforce them, and the administration never mentions them in publicizing the law for fear of intensifying the backlash against it.
Ever since 2010, Republicans have been promoting that backlash, often with outright falsehoods; like gunmen firing wildly, they have finally scored some damaging hits. Just as Healthcare.gov was crashing, insurers announced cancellations of many individual policies that do not comply with the law's minimum requirements, and Obama had to apologize for saying if you liked your plan you could keep it.
But for the law itself, no apology is necessary. For years, without a murmur from Republicans, millions of people with individually purchased policies have had their policies canceled because they got sick. Those policies were never insurance in the true meaning of that term. Under the ACA, insurers cannot price coverage or cancel it on the basis of an individual's ill health. The gain in personal security will be enormous, even if the change in the market's rules creates transitional problems and raises premiums for some healthy people because the insurance pool includes more of the sick. Next year, they may get sick too.
With a more competent rollout, the administration could have minimized these concerns; instead, it has magnified them. I'd be more confident about the future except for a little-noticed announcement just before Thanksgiving. The start of open enrollment in the exchanges for 2015 has been delayed until November 15, 2014, eleven days after the midterm elections. Apparently, when voters go to the polls, the administration doesn't want them thinking about health insurance. And that tells me it's worried that low enrollment in 2014 may raise premiums for next year.

I am an individual holder. My plan is up 35% since 2011 due to Obamacare. That is a direct quote from my insurer. Furthermore-I was able to extend to Dec 2014 at another 20% increase so as to avoid the Exchanges, however in Dec 2014 I have no choice. I got on an Exchange and checked Bronze costs. They were 35% higher than even my latest cost estimate for 2014 AND my deductible was increased 50%. This is a disaster. My 29 year old son told me "No way" was he going to enroll. He said he'll pay the penalty and enroll if and when he needs it.

And here is the grand irony. The Democrats have engineered themselves into an exquisite Catch-22 situation.
The situation is that the more that they delay parts of ObamaCare , or selectively implement ObamaCare (to save their political skins) the more likely it is that healthy people will not sign up, which will guarantee the exact premise of this article (much higher premiums in 2015).
Obama has already delayed the corporate mandate once. He is now selectively enforcing the individual mandate. Democrats like Landrieu and Louisiana, Mark Pryor in Arkansas, and Kay Hagan in North Carolina are all promising to "fix" ObamaCare.
But their fixes, while lessening the pain of ObamaCare on people who would otherwise endure financial hardship, let people either not enroll, or enroll in policies that do not contribute as much to the subsidies. So all of the Democrat fixes to ObamaCare serve to undermine both the core premise of the law (healthy people subsidizing sick people) and to undermine the finances of the law.
In summary all attempts to lessen the pain of ObamaCare upon those upon it inflicts pain lead to higher premiums in 2015 and the ultimate self-destruction of ObamaCare.
Just goes to show you what happens when a bunch of arrogant liberals (sorry that was redundant) attempt to take over an industry that provides one of the most important services the people buy.
Oh, and by the way. Delaying the open enrollment period for 2015 to after the November 2014 is not going to save the skins of the liberals who voted for this mess. That is because the insurance companies have to (by state law) start notifying existing policy holders of the 2015 premiums as early as July 1st 2014 (this varies by state).

So many errors in so little space. How does he do it???
NONE of the exchanges worked well from the beginning. Not a single exchange met it's sign up goals. And there are now more uninsured than prior to implementation.
Please explain how it's "sabotage" to abide by the law? Not setting up an exchange is clearly an option provided for in the law. The knuckleheads who designed the law thought they could coerce the states into creating exchanges with the Medicare funding carrot. However, that funding disappears in 3 years and the governors who refused the bait will be seen as prescient then. And requiring strict licensing for Navigators who will be handling extremely sensitive private health and financial information is a bad thing? Democrat states are hiring felons!
You state that for years "millions" have had their policies cancelled when they got sick. Total unmitigated nonsense. HIPAA prevents that AND provides the mandate that you can get insurance with a pre-existing condition.
It is not "criminal" or against the law to not buy insurance as you imply. The law and the SC state that the "tax" is optional and LEGAL because it's optional. Every citizen has every right to NOT BUY insurance and pay the tax. That is a LEGAL choice.
You state that Republicans are somehow perpetuating a "falsehood" that Obama lied about keeping your plan and your doctor. He did. It's irrefutable. He knowingly lied about it. On purpose, knowing the law had NO CHANCE if he didn't. Nice ethics there.
And I can't wait for insurers and small, mid, and large sized employers to start sending out their cancellation notices prior to the 2014 elections as so many of those plans will ALSO not meet Disastercare's ridiculous minimum standards. WHOOOOO boy. Wait until those start landing in mailboxes.

Generally, younger people are (1) healthier and (2) earn less income than people aged 40-60. Both supporters and critics of the ACA agree that plan will confront tough sledding if the bulk of the enrollments are people aged 45 and above. The ACA embodies a sort of perverse income redistribution, compelling the younger and less prosperous to cover the medical expenses of the older and more prosperous.

ObamaCare is affecting the wallets and pocketbooks of millions of Americas directly. It is raising premiums and removing Doctors. It is eliminating favorite Hospitals. In short, it is attacking people who normally don't think about how government actions affect them. It will be very ugly for democrats. My new ad blitz for Republicans in 2014: Open with a photo of Democrat Senator ( say Pryor of Ark.) alongside Obama, Ried and Pelosi. Superimpose the line "They all said you could keep your Doctor and HealthCare Plan. They lied. Now vote Republican and FIX this mess!" That should do it!!
Mon, 2014-01-06 13:20
funny how most of the posts in this comment section are now using ACA, instead of obamacare, as if on cue by the administration that their is a need to rebrand this train wreck.
Personally a friend told me that if you don't like obamacare, then CACA might be better, as in can't afford health care.

ObamaCare includes so many taxes that it's hard to keep track, but one of the worst took effect on Jan. 1. This beaut is a levy on health insurance premiums that targets the small business and individual markets.
At $8 billion in 2014 and $101 billion over the next decade, the insurance tax is larger than ObamaCare's taxes on medical devices and prescription drugs combined. The Internal Revenue Service classifies the tax as a "fee" but it functions like an excise tax on premiums. The IRS collects an annual flat amount specified by the Affordable Care Act to be allocated among the insurers according to market share.
Guess what this will do to hiring and thus unemployment? Crate it! Then take a wild guess what it does for the Economy? You guessed it! another smoking crater!
All of this will be perfectly timed to destroy Democrats in 2014 and 2016. Thanks Obama!

It's established that Obama lied about his signature healthcare plan. Here's something else he doesn't want publicized:
Young, healthy men will see higher premium increases than their female counterparts. This is true despite these facts:
Young men go to the doctor far less and cost their insurers far less than do young women, even factoring out women's reproductive-related visits.
Young women will have more nonreproductive-related preventive services than young men. Check that out at healthcare.gov/what-are-my-preventive-care-benefits/#part=1
In short, men will get fewer benefits than women after being forced to pay a bigger premium increase. That's how Obama will uphold his promise to eliminate "premium discrimination against women."
The crafters of Obamacare saw real discrimination against men as the safest way (because "men don't protest and they don't matter anyway") to largely pay for their healthcare program. See http://ideas.time.com/2013/08/23/women-should-pay-more-for-health-care/
If a law required women to pay the same as men for auto insurance, the streets would be over-run with angry protesters of both sexes.
Democrats always know which gender of the ox to gore.
"Two takes on Obamacare's discrimination against men"
"Men Likely to Put Off the Doctor (Male Matters: Or: why men are charged less for health insurance)"
"Who will pay more? Gender discrimination in health insurance costs"

Johnson, Christensen place at CIF State Championships
Murrieta Valley's Nicolas Johnson and Chaparral's Bradley Christensen woke Saturday morning with a chance to be state champions.
Their dream of standing on top of the podium at the CIF State Wrestling Championships ended in the semifinals, but both left Rabobank Arena with fourth-place medals, no small feat in the most populous state in the nation.
Johnson's finish was the best ever in Murrieta Valley's wrestling history. Meanwhile, Christensen became Chaparral's top finisher since former Arizona State All-American Chris Drouin was a runner-up in Bakersfield in 2006.
In his 195-pound semifinal match, Johnson gave Vacaville's Jeramy Sweany, the eventual state champion, all he could handle in a bruising chess match. Johnson was tied 1-1 with Sweany with 30 seconds remaining in the third period, but the latter notched a late takedown to win on a 3-1 decision.
Coming off a close, gut-wrenching defeat, Johnson didn't let the initial anguish affect his confidence.
Trailing by three points late in the third period of his next match, Johnson escaped with a 7-5 decision after recording a takedown with a lateral drop move.
"He broke his tooth on the takedown," Murrieta Valley coach Martin Vogt said. "Because I tell him, it's like a fight. You get punched in the jaw."
"I told him, 'That's all right,'" Vogt added. "The girls will still love you, especially with the gold tooth."
The last-second triumph assured that Johnson would at least leave Bakersfield with a fourth-place finish.
"I am a little shell-shocked, I can't believe that I actually hit it," Johnson said. "All the Greco training really paid off to help out with all those last-minute things. That's what we have been working on in the last week with Coach, those extra things. Not changing any technique, just adding a few things for last second situations just like that."
In the third-place match, Johnson lost another close decision, 2-0, to Ripon's Trevor Smith. But afterward, the happy-go-lucky Johnson was content with his performance versus top-tier competition.
"It helps to know that I am wrestling with those guys and I am at that caliber," Johnson said.
With a visit to Duke University on the horizon, Johnson has plenty to look forward to even though the senior's prep career ended Saturday. And Vogt now has a new wave of college coaches inquiring about his 6-foot grappler.
"Where were you guys a month ago when I told you this guy was good?" said Vogt about the recent interest. "All of the sudden, you're paying attention to me!"
In typical Christensen fashion, the senior had a workmanlike run to the semifinals. On Friday, he won his first three matches by decision with comfortable margins of 8-1, 9-2 and 6-0.
Entering Saturday, Chaparral coaches Ric Campo and Jake Paino felt Christensen was wrestling his best of the season, beginning with the CIF Southern Section Masters meet, where he was the 160-pound champion.
Christensen's torrid streak ended when Folsom's Nicholas Fiegener pinned him in five minutes, 18 seconds during the semifinals match.

We have been designing mobile apps since 2008, back when the top of the line device was the Apple iPhone 3G.
Since then, we have had hundreds of satisfied clients, and have been approached and contracted by such big names as SiriusXM Radio, Maxim, The Art of Charm, Bryan Cranston, and many other household names.

We keep you involved in every step of the process, and our design team will create professional mockups for you to review and revise until we get it exactly the way you want.

We Design Mobile Apps For Ourselves
Of course, with our team of in-house professional coders and graphic design artists, we would be foolish not to utilize them to put out our very own apps into the app market. Check out our in-house apps on the app store now by clicking HERE.
We Design Other Things as Well
Our team doesn't just stick to mobile apps. Need a new website? How about custom graphics or business logos? Heck, we've even carved a niche in designing custom slot machine glass and kits! If you need anything coded or graphically designed, we can do it. Simply shoot us an email and let us know what you need.
Don't think you can afford your own mobile app? Think again! Our prices are among the lowest in the industry. If you would like to create your mobile app now and pay for it later, no problem! We offer flexible payment terms with no qualifying or credit check needed. Let's start your mobile app right now... You're approved!.
- We've been creating iPhone apps since the beginning in 2008.
- More than one of the apps we have created has hit the top 100 in iTunes.

The Eisenhower Auxiliary
Since its formation 37 years ago, the Auxiliary has raised more than $18 million for hospital equipment, programs and services, and recruited thousands of volunteers who have contributed more than three million hours of service. Today, there are 1,350 Auxiliary members, of whom 820 actively serve the hospital and affiliated organizations as volunteers. Last year, they donated 141,000 hours — the equivalent of 68 full-time employees. Wearing their distinctive white uniforms with the red and blue, five-star logo, volunteers serve in virtually every area of the hospital. During the summer months when many volunteers leave the desert for cooler climes, more than 50 Juniors (ages 14 to 18), some of whom are considering health care careers, spend part of their summer vacations volunteering at the hospital. Financial Support
From its initial $100,000 "building fund" donation in 1971, the Auxiliary has provided funds for several major construction and renovation projects, including $1 million for the Dolores Hope Outpatient Care Center, more than $1 million for renovations to the Emergency Department, $1.2 million for the Surgical Pavilion, and $1 million for the Eisenhower Lucy Curci Cancer Center Healing Garden. The Auxiliary has also donated funds for high-tech equipment such as a $1 million CT scanner and $450,000 nuclear medicine camera, helping the hospital provide state-of-the-art medical care.
The Auxiliary also helps fund programs that might not otherwise be funded in today's cost-conscious health care environment. Contributions made at the 37th Annual General Meeting in April show the diversity of programs supported by the Auxiliary: $230,000 to Eisenhower Medical Center — the balance of the pledge for the nuclear medicine camera; $20,000 to the Betty Ford Center at Eisenhower for the "Alcohol and Other Drugs Awareness Hour" speaker series; $50,000 for "Arts in Healthcare," an innovative program that incorporates the healing powers of music and art into the hospital experience; $26,369 to Eisenhower's neighbor, the Community Blood Bank, for a new plasma freezer and platelet incubator; and $10,000 for the Barbara Sinatra Children's Center at Eisenhower. Last year, the Auxiliary gave $36,000 for Eisenhower's Five Star Club, the Valley's only non-profit provider of adult day care for seniors with Alzheimer's disease or other memory impairments; continued funding for nursing scholarships to help in nurse recruitment and retention; and, financial support for wiredMD™, a free online patient education program.
Never willing to rest on its laurels, the Auxiliary has pledged to raise $500,000 for a comprehensive, state-of-the-art video camera system (light sources, cameras, monitors, and a variety of laparoscopic surgical equipment) permitting all forms of laparoscopic surgeries in 12 of the hospital's operating rooms and pledged to continue its tradition of giving generous financial and volunteer support to Eisenhower Medical Center.
