So this is a matter of opinion but I get newsletters from Joel Comm about the Top One Report and in there he listed a bunch of hosting companies. My favorite listed was hostmonster.com and my second was hostgator.com but my friend seems to be in a rut and keeps telling me to use godaddy.com - I'm the kind of person who doesn't like to always listen to TV ads and I want to make up my own decisions. Anyone use these and have a favorite?

Host for a website is good, have a look at the blog. Go daddy is great for
registering domains also.
registering domains also.
AMcDermott | Window Shopper | 5/20/2009 - 8:49 am
I like Pair.com, also ThePlanet.com. Some of our clients are with GoDaddy and like them, some don't. For small businesses, sometimes I recommend that you choose a small hosting company who can give more personalised support. Ask your peers and friends locally who they use and can recommend.
stevenr | Window Shopper | 5/20/2009 - 9:59 pm
I've used a couple dozen hosts and I have 2 favorites; Hostgator or Hostmonster - unless you have specific programming needs, these will do it for you. These 2 have given me the least amount of problems, have proven reliable, and have the features 99% of most people need. And a great price per month. I would only get a domain at GoDaddy, never hosting. Message Edited by NicoleD on 11-30-2009 04:52 PM

I have had good luck with Midphase for my hosting. I would get one of their smaller plans with a dedicated IP address to keep yourself separate from all the other domains hosted on their shared servers - since you never know who else could be sharing your network neighborhood.
CutCompCosts | Contributor | 6/9/2009 - 10:18 am
I buy my domains through godaddy and host everything through hostgator. Been happy so far.
chathura | Creator | 5/6/2009 - 9:18 am
I have heard several times about godaddy.com as a good hosting company. When you find a hosting company considering their history is very important.
hostcolor | Performer | 7/30/2009 - 10:02 am
Well, GoDaddy is a good domain registrar and has a business model to follow, but I'm afraid they aren't the best choice anyone might make when it comes to web hosting services. Some of the companies mentioned above receive better customer reviews, especially when it comes to Shared Hosting.
corney | Window Shopper | 8/14/2009 - 7:41 am
Hostgator and Godaddy are good hosting company but i use jctweb.com site for web hosting.
luckycharmz336 | Creator | 6/9/2009 - 2:34 pm
I host over 100 websites, and I prefer hostgator! Godaddy is also great, however they take longer to learn. They both are excellent hosting companies Joel McLaughlin Dataflurry.com Message Edited by NicoleD on 12-11-2009 04:58 PM
GoodFTA | Contributor | 5/19/2009 - 5:45 am
I used host monster for a bit, and found it for a static website and stuff is kinda ok. The one drawback is that its MYSQL hostings. If you want an active forum on host monster with more then 2 thousand members, they only allocate a SMALL amount of memory for MYSQL Queries. If you want a higher bandwidth account be prepared to spend an adtional 100.00 a year. I find it depends what you want out of a host, Its best to understand your niche and content. If you want large amount of space, or a big forum, or more multi-media VOIP/streaming type of service, it all depends on what you need to get out of a host, do you gauge what host is best for you. Most people say this host and this host is better, cause it suits their needs, in order to find a good host, you have to know YOUR needs.

Air France has chosen Marseille as the first of its new regional bases, as it aims to cut costs and boost its European medium-haul services.
The French national carrier announced in November 2010 that it was studying four regional cities as its potential initial bases. Following its 11 July announcement of a swathe of new routes to be operated from Marseille from 2 October 2011, it said it would implement a similar strategy from Toulouse, Bordeaux and Nice from spring 2012.
In total, there will be 54 new routes from the four regional bases, each of which will become home to around 10 medium-haul Airbus A320s and A319s. The new routes will be aimed primarily at lesiure travellers, said the airline.
The increase in flights from Marseille will result in a 50% rise in the number of seats available on flights from the city, which Air France estimates will produce an extra 1.3 million passengers passing through the airport annually. It anticipates an extra 4.5 million passengers annually when all four bases are operational.
From Marseille, there will be three new domestic sectors, to Biarritz, Basel Mulhouse and Brest, and 10 new international destinations: Athens, Beirut, Casablanca, Copenhagen, Duesseldorf, Eindhoven, Istanbul, Milan Malpensa, Moscow and Prague.
There will also be increases in capacity on existing domestic services to Bordeaux, Lille, Nantes, Toulouse, Paris Charles De Gaulle and Paris Orly.
The new regional policy aims to reduce operational costs by around 15% through a variety of measures such as the use of a single aircraft type at the bases, which will help rationalise maintenance costs. Daily use of the aircraft will be optimised, with initial departures earlier in the morning and final sectors returning to the base airport later in the evening than at present.
Together with turnarounds reduced by 5min (30min for A319s and 35min for A320s), this will result in an increase in daily usage from the current 8h 15min to 11h 40min, representing a productivity gain of around 40%, said the carrier.
Crews based at the four regional locations will work more hours, but over fewer days than at present. Cabin crew will work 650 flying hours over just under 120 days annually, while pilots will operate 715 flying hours over slightly fewer than 130 days.
The airline will seek volunteers - 350 pilots and 650 cabin crew - to be based in the regions. Together with the changes to duty rosters, this will save an estimated 15-20% in costs per flight hour through reductions on overnighting (particularly hotel costs), as crews will return to their home bases each evening.
Each aircraft based in the regions will have two crews made up of a captain, a co-pilot and four cabin crew (three on the A319).

Living wage bill: Gray in 2010 wanted Walmart to pay $12/hour
September 10, 2013 - 02:36 pm
Decrease Increase Text size
Mayor Vincent Gray hasn't publicly said how he'll vote on the living wage bill. But in an interview he gave to WTOP in 2010, Gray said he wants Walmart to pay workers $12 an hour.
In a Dec. 31, 2010 interview, Gray told WTOP that Walmart keeps their wages low "on the backs of workers" and that D.C. doesn't want low-quality jobs.
He says the big-box retailer should pay at least $12 an hour as well as benefits.
The living wage bill currently on the mayor's desk would require big retailers like Walmart pay $12.50 an hour. D.C.'s minimum wage is $8.25 an hour.
Walmart has said it wouldn't go forward with several planned stores in the district if the bill is passed.

Perivascular Macrophages: The Real Amyloid Clean-Up Crew?
Quick Links
- Add to my Library

With annotations Without annotations
Immune cells have been shown to play a role in clearing Aβ from the brain, but it's not clear exactly which subset of cells is responsible. Is it the phagocytes already present in the brain—the microglia—or are new cells recruited from the circulatory system? It's hard to tell, because once in the brain, they all look alike. Researchers are trying to pinpoint the key cell group so that they can design targeted therapies to stimulate them to clear Aβ and perhaps ward off Alzheimer's disease. A study in the August 3 Journal of Neuroscience lends new evidence that perivascular macrophages (PVMs)—those phagocytes that line the brain's blood vessels—may be key players.
Previous research suggests that the immune cells responsible for amyloid clearance depend on the chemokine receptor CCR2 to help them find and eat away at amyloid (see ARF related news story on El Khoury et al., 2007). So to figure out which cells depend on CCR2, researchers led by Josef Priller of the Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin and Marco Prinz of the University of Freiburg, both in Germany, created chimeric animals by irradiating APPswe or APPswe/PS1 transgenic mice and replacing their bone marrow cells with grafted cells from mice that either expressed CCR2 (CCR2+/+) or double mutants that didn't (CCR2-/-). They then looked to see which type became engrafted in the brain.
The team, which also included joint first authors Alexander Mildner and Katrin Kierdorf of the University of Freiberg and Bernhard Schlevogt of Universitätsmedizin Göttingen, also in Germany, showed that circulating CCR2+/+ myeloid cells were the ones that crossed into the parenchyma of APPswe/PS1 mice. Furthermore, they showed that irradiation of the whole body, including the head, was required for them to gain entry. But once there, the engrafted phagocytes didn't seem to chew away at the plaques, as has been reported elsewhere (see ARF related news story on Simard et al., 2006). Instead, the data suggested the bone marrow-derived phagocytes in APPswe mice acted at the perivascular compartment. This falls in line with a previous report suggesting that macrophages in and around the blood vessels may be involved in reducing Aβ in the brain by shuttling it out via the perivascular spaces (see ARF related news story on Hawkes and McLaurin, 2009). "This irradiation paradigm reduces amyloid, not in terms of the plaques, but actually in terms of the overall amyloid in the perivascular compartment, around the vessels," said Priller.
To distinguish between the different macrophage activities that might be responsible for clearing Aβ, the team used different methods of irradiation to control whether circulating cells became engrafted in the brain. Since the researchers found that irradiation of the head was required for circulating myeloid cells to enter the brain, they shielded the skulls of some of the mice from the radiation so that circulating myeloid cells were locked out—they could only go as far as the perivascular space. The method generated chimeric APPswe mice whose perivascular macrophages were either CCR2+/+ or CCR2-/-.
The researchers irradiated the animals at three months old. Seven months later , the APPswe mice with CCR2-/- grafts had significantly more insoluble Aβ in their brains than did CCR2+/+ -grafted mice, which the team took to mean that perivascular macrophages modulate Aβ deposition in the brain's blood vessels in a process that depends on CCR2. Conversely, the team compared aged, unirradiated APPswe CCR2-/- mice with aged APPswe CCR2+/+ and found that clearance of Aβ deposition and the number of immunoreactive cells, as shown by the macrophage/microglia marker Iba-1, was similar in both. The result suggests that brain-resident microglia don't depend on CCR2 for clearance. This finding contrasts with other work suggesting that CCR2-deficient mice have fewer microglia and enhanced parenchymal Aβ plaque deposition (see El Khoury et al., 2007).
Priller said the findings implicate perivascular macrophages, rather than microglia, in Aβ clearance. He said the current paper provides a nice link between results showing that reduction in perivascular macrophages enhances cerebral amyloid angiopathy, or CAA (see Hawkes and McLaurin, 2009), and that CCR2 is needed for Aβ clearance (El Khoury et al., 2007). Researchers led by Joseph El Khoury at Massachusetts General Hospital, Charlestown, contended that CCR2-deficient APPswe mice die early because the microglia no longer function, leading to an increase of Aβ plaques in the brain and early death. But Priller says this new work suggests that, rather than affecting the microglia, the CCR2 deficiency affects the perivascular macrophage clearance. This supports work by Terrence Town at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California, who reported that stimulating peripheral macrophages by blocking TGF-β1 signaling cleared Aβ from the brain, including the blood vessels (see ARF related news story).
"This study makes me quite comfortable that peripheral macrophages are adept at removing brain vascular Aβ deposits," said Town, who was not involved with the study. But the disagreement with El Khoury's data still leaves open the question of whether the microglia play a role in plaque breakdown. "I don't think we have closure on the issue of CCR2 dependency of brain parenchymal plaque clearance, because we now have two datasets that aren't completely congruent, " Town added.
Serge Rivest of Laval University, Quebec, Canada, said it's becoming more accepted in the field that neuroprotection doesn't always correlate with changes in plaque load—that subtle changes, such as in cerebrovascular β amyloid clearance, could confer a neuroprotective effect. However, he would have liked to see more behavioral data on the mice, to show that perivascular clearance of Aβ had a positive effect on the brain. "The paper showed that circulating monocytes can be an extremely powerful approach to the disease," said Rivest. "But we need to find out whether these data translate to clearly physiological relevance in these mice using behavioral tests."—Gwyneth Dickey Zakaib

AC System Compressor Common Issues for Replacement
An AC compressor defect is blamed for
failure in the AC system more often than it deserves. The fact of the matter is
that only about 3% of the time a compressor defect if the real cause of failure.
Contamination of the system or lack of refrigerant is the most common cause of
failure and many times the compressor is still functioning properly when the
system has failed.
There are a few easy steps to follow to be sure of compressor
failure before it is removed:
- Is the compressor rotation smooth?
- Is the field coil receiving greater than 11.5
- Is the field coil resistance between 2.8 and 4.4 ohms?
- Is the compressor capable of producing 350 PSI or more?
The answer to these questions will determine if the
compressor needs to be replaced. This is not an official install or
instructional guide and DiscountACParts.com is not responsible for any damage or
injury that can occur during these procedures.

Alan Grayson is enjoying a second career that shows all the signs of being as successful as his first. Retiring from the US Air Force in 1992 after more than 24 years as a C-130 instructor pilot and staff officer, he's explored several career avenues. "I've had various hands-on positions in the computer networking field including network technician, administrator, engineer, and director of IT services." Currently a contract trainer for the United States Air Force as well as an instructor at AIU Online, Grayson has also written several books on computer science for Sybex and TotalRecall Press.
His academic credentials include a B.S. in Behavioral Science from the United States Air Force Academy and a M.S. in Systems Management/Project Management from the University of Southern California. Grayson has continued his education through the years, taking numerous courses in all areas of computer science from institutions around the country.
No doubt his lifelong interest in learning has contributed to making Grayson an effective teacher. As an Air Force Major he trained 600 students in C-130 Aircraft systems so successfully, all of them passed a very rigorous examination. Following his retirement from the service, he continued to work with pilots as a freelance instructor for several years and since 1997 has taught computer classes both in the classroom and online. Grayson's ability for imparting knowledge to others was even recognized in print when, working at DigitalThink, he was cited in Microsoft Certified Professional magazine as an online tutor who provided the most complete answers to a survey of technical questions.
Joining AIU Online in 2002, his talent for teaching was quickly recognized and he won several awards for teaching excellence. With his broad range of knowledge of network technology and years of field experience, Grayson offers students pertinent insights during classroom discussions and individual instruction. "Our classes revolve around real-life scenarios," explains Grayson, "that give students a concrete context for hands-on experience using the skills covered in their text books. Using examples from my own experience comes naturally in such a setting. This sense of reality is further enhanced by group projects that allow students to increase their interpersonal and written communication skills while honing their ability to work on a team in a virtual environment. All of these skills are important for success in business today."
Of course, AIU Online students, like those at any other online institution, enjoy a high degree of flexibility regarding when and where they listen to the lectures, work on assignments, etc. But according to Grayson, AIU Online students have the added benefit of a virtual classroom that is uniquely interactive. "Our slide presentations, voice communications, live and archived chat sessions create a classroom environment that is incredibly exciting. My students can even view my desktop.

Weight of Soft Drinks Shipped > Weight of Cars Shipped
Last week I had a fantastic meeting with the CEO of a mid-sized energy company. We had a number of fascinating conversations ranging from Personality Poker, Open Innovation, and alternative energy.
In the meeting, I was drinking my "caffeine in a can" – a diet cola.
The CEO pointed at my soft drink and said that it was one of the worst energy hogs.
He pointed out that years ago, Coke was sold as syrup (in fact, it was originally sold for medicinal purposes). The carbonated water was added at the point of sale (e.g., the pharmacy or soda shop). Less energy was expended in the packaging process. Less material was used for the packaging itself. But more importantly, less energy was used in shipping.
After doing some digging, I found that, according to one website, 500ml of syrup makes the equivalent of 12 liters. That means that a can of cola contains <5% syrup and over 95% carbonated water. According to one study, nearly 300 billion liters of soft drinks are sold a year. Hoovers research shows that only 35% of that is from fountain sales.
Ok, so let's do some math.
A liter of soft drink weights approximately 1 kilogram. This means that a liter is over 2.1 pounds of water, and .1 pounds of syrup. At 65% bottle/cans (excluding the 35% fountain sales), this is over 400 billion pounds of carbonated water needlessly shipped with the syrup. Let's not forget the weight of the cans/bottles. To put this in context, this is the weight of 100 million cars. In 2007, 16 million cars, SUVs and trucks were sold in the US. Every car sold in the United States over the past 6 years weighs less than the weight of the excess water shipped EVERY year with bottled soft drinks.
Enough of the math. I could attempt to calculate the average distance the bottles travel and the amount of fuel required for transportation, but I just don't have the time. And I suspect you get the idea.
What do you do about it?
- Of course advocates are trying to reduce the amount of soft drinks we consume. But so far nothing points to that being a successful strategy.
- Encourage people to buy and use soda machines. There are several companies that provide this type of product. You buy the machine, the syrup and the gas cartridges.
- Another option might be to find a solution similar to Crystal Light "On-the Go." The challenge is adding carbonation to a powder. While eating Pop Rocks Candy the other day, I realized that there must be a way of addressing this.
Of course there are many more possible solutions. But the solution is not the point of this article.
Innovation is about asking better question. It is about surfacing the hidden assumptions. When looking at issues (environmental, business, or personal), sometimes you need to question everything…even the can of soda in your hand.
P.S. Soft drinks account for the largest percentage of the "liquid refreshment beverage" market. This article did not even include the oft-maligned bottled water industry, which is smaller in size. Do you want to know how far your bottled water traveled to go to you? Check out this article.
P.P.S. I am not suggesting we eliminate soft drinks. My consumption of diet cola – especially first thing in the morning – is one of my guilty pleasures!

You haven't saved any energy (except for the soft drink company). You've just moved it around. Assuming soft drink consumption does not change significantly, the same amount of carbonated water will have to be shipped by someone to the point of sale or to wherever it is added to the syrup. I don't see any savings here.
- September 9, 2009 at 1:29 pm
Thanks for your comment…
Only the syrup is shipped. Tap water that is carbonated at the point of consumption is added. The water does not need to be shipped. Sorry if I did not make this clearer.

If you had cut soda out of your diet in college, the Ithaca P&C would have gone bankrupt. Think of how many jobs were saved in Tompkins County all because of your guilty pleasure.
- September 9, 2009 at 2:58 pm
Don, I suspect you are correct. The soft drink industry is a staggering $72 billion a year in the U.S. alone. According to one source, the average American drinks over 200 liters of soft drinks a year. That translates to about two 12 ounce cans a day. During my worst periods, I drank over a dozen cans a day or 1,000 liters a year. Ouch. I have since tamed that habit a bit…

Knowing how to read OBD2 codes can save you a lot of money. OBD2 codes are alphanumeric codes that are generated by the on-board diagnostic system when it detects a possible problem and are stored in its memory; you can read these codes by using a code reader that you will connect to your car's data link connection. By using the codes to determine the general nature of a problem your car may be suffering, you can decide if you're capable of fixing it yourself or have to take it to a mechanic.
The Basics of OBD2 Codes
OBD2 codes have five characters. The first character indicates which system may be having problems, and can be:
- P – Powertrain
- B – Body
- C – Chassis
- U – Undefined
Of these four, you're most likely to encounter P most often in OBD2 codes since the power-train is where most problems commonly lie.
The next digit in the codes can be either 0 or 1, which tells you if it is a generic code common to all OBD-II equipped vehicles, or a proprietary code that is specific to a particular car maker.
The third digit of OBD2 codes will identify which sub-system may be experiencing problems:
- 1 – Fuel or Air Emission Management
- 2 – Fuel or Air Injector Circuit
- 3 – Ignition or Misfire
- 4 – Emission Control
- 5 – Vehicle Speed/Idle Control
- 6 – Computer and Output Circuit
- 7/8 – Transmission
- 9/0 – SAE reserved
The fourth and fifth digits of the code will pinpoint the specific area where a scanner has detected a problem. To illustrate: If your code reader displays the trouble code P0299, it means that there is a problem in the power-train system, in the injector circuit and there is an issue related to the pressure of your engine turbo supercharger. Note that the diagnostic codes only indicate there is a problem in a particular system, not what's causing it. You will have to either determine that for yourself or ask a technician to diagnose the cause.
How to Use OBD2 Codes to Diagnose a Problem
To illustrate how these codes can be used to pinpoint a problem with your car, let us use the above code P0299. If your code reader displays this code, it could indicate that the two parts of your turbo housing resonator have started to separate, affecting the turbo pressure of your car. If you have a European model, however, it may mean that the waste gate solenoid activator is broken, causing the engine to lose power due to turbo inactivity. There are many websites that list the generic diagnostic codes as well as those specific to manufacturers that you can look up to determine what the code means and what it may indicate.
Note that once the problem has been fixed, you will have to delete the code to verify that it has genuinely been repaired. Once you delete old OBD2 codes new ones will appear if there are further problems; note, however, that all other data stored in the system's memory will also be erased and it will begin recollecting data as soon as you drive the car again.

Looks good. I need to do one of these as a pistol now that I've done the ant eater rifle type.
Couple questions. What mod did you make for the pistol grip? Also, looks like the front trunnion sticks out a bit. Was that planned or did you have to position the whole barrel section forward a bit? Just curious as I'm always looking for different ways to reach the same end.

(AFP) / 5 January 2013
QUSRA, Palestinian Territories - Israeli soldiers on Saturday were trying to break up clashes between Palestinians and Jewish settlers in the northern West Bank town of Qusra.
Palestinian security sources and eyewitnesses said settlers used the cover of fog to approach the town south of Nablus with the aim of uprooting dozens of olive saplings, but were confronted by farmers who threw stones at them.
Settlers from the nearby Esh Kodesh outpost and Qusra residents also clashed and threw stones at each other on Tuesday, when the Palestinians blamed the settlers for uprooting and damaging olive trees.
The Palestinians said saplings uprooted on Saturday were planted following Tuesday's incident.
A spokeswoman for the army confirmed that "there is a confrontation near Esh Kodesh, including mutual stone-throwing."
"Soldiers arrived at the scene and are currently responding with riot dispersal means," she added, noting there were reports of a lightly wounded Israeli civilian. The Palestinians said some villagers were injured by tear gas.
The Esh Kodesh settlers had said on Tuesday they would block Palestinians from working in fields near the outpost. Both sides claim ownership of the land.

For those of you have followed this Ride Report and the Minnesota Ride Report, I'd like to discuss a couple pertinent points that might apply to all of us AdvRiders.
La Lajitas is not a mainstay stop for big groups. It doesn't have much in the way of amenities and they don't have great resources available in their lives. We probably raised their expectations when we left a rather large tip for the breakfast. Admittedly, we were spoiled by the outstanding chicken dinner and Tecate's the night before.....but then they tried to escalate their charges for the next riders that came through.....not that I blame them but there's a lesson here.....
Morelos is another basket of puzzles. After thinking through our experience, reading older posts from 5 years ago and hearing about the Minnesota experience, it seems to me:
There are 3 buildings including the Hotel, restaurant and the building with the Morelos banner (behind the white pickup) that are all painted the same color. Everybody has ignored that third building that's part of the hotel parking lot. The focus has been on the armed CP that stood on the restaurant roof in front of it. I think it's an unfortunate coincidence that the parking lot/hotel are located in that spot.
Maybe they were "guarding" that third building which was their Community Voting Center? They were working on it when we arrived and the kids that followed Chabon and me back to the hotel were all clustered around and in it. If there's a facility that they would value and protect, it makes sense to me that it's important to them. I think there's sign that said the elections are in early July, maybe the 4th? That spot is also just inside the entrance to their town and absolutely made for a sentry position.
As I've said throughout this report, think of your neighborhood and its facilities and how you would react to 3, 5 or 7 "foreigners" who show up on cross country motorcycles. And remember that we're geared up much like their military, nobody else on motos had helmets, gloves or boots except us and the military. How would our Homeland Security react?
I know this is a bit long winded but I think it's really important for us to think things through and apply the lessons to the next ride we make.....
Was there anybody really scary in this photo....including the guy in the uniform.....?.......everybody is smiling as far as I can see....
Rant over.....

New Law Makes Protesting Near the President Illegal; Judge Napolitano Calls It an 'Assault on Free Speech'
A new law makes protesting near the president or Secret Service illegal. Is that an assault on free speech?
Judge Andrew Napolitano said categorically, "Yes, it is an assault on free speech. You have the right to make your opinions known in such a way that you're not blocking traffic and you're not blocking pedestrians."
Napolitano warned that this is a very dangerous piece of legislation as it allows the Secret Service to "decide who gets near whoever they are protecting … and the Secret Service can make that decision based on the content of your speech."
He continued, "That is using governmental power to discriminate on the basis of your opinions, the content of your speech. That's what the First Amendment was written to prevent the government from doing."

Qualifies for the list as a Red List Species
The Maui Parrotbill, with an estimated total population of 500 individuals, is found only in the remote, high-elevation rain forests on the north slopes of eastern Maui, where it is resident above 3,930 feet in native montane forest dominated by 'ohi'a. It is not present in adjacent areas dominated by exotic trees. Much of the bird's remaining habitat is on national park and state lands, and in a preserve owned by The Nature Conservancy.
The first parrotbill nest was not discovered until 1993, and natural history studies of the species only began in the 1980s. This bird uses its large, parrot-like bill to pluck and bite open fruit, lift bark and lichens, and rip open branches and stems in search of invertebrates. Since the chicks remain dependent on the parents for five months or longer, it is often sighted in family groups.
Potential threats are predation by rats, cats, and the introduced Barn Owl. Disease, habitat degradation by introduced ungulates, and competition from introduced bird species also pose threats to this bird. Low-flying helicopters may disturb the birds, particularly during its nesting season.
Among the management practices used by all three are controlling alien plants and fencing for control and exclusion of large feral mammals. The bird is on the endangered species list and is classified by BirdLife International as critical.

No more feeling sore and discomfort after long rides. The best saddle I have purchased that is comfortable and reasonable
I was looking for to move away from my ultralight saddle to something with a little more give and padding. I was ridding a Sella Italia and had heard good things about this one. So, I gave it a try. Quality of the saddle is very high as is to be expected. Comfort is another story. With all that extra gel padding, one would think the Selle Italia C2 Gel Flow Bicycle Saddle would be a better feel but it is not. So, lesson here is to try before you buy.
This saddle has been by far the least comfortable/ durable saddle. After only riding it twice the lettering has rubbed off and has been extremely painful. This may work for other riders but for me its a total disappointment.

"annoy by scolding," 1828, originally a dialectal word meaning "to gnaw" (1825), probably ultimately from a Scandinavian source (cf. Old Norse gnaga "to complain," literally "to bite, gnaw," dialectal Swedish and Norwegian nagga "to gnaw"), from Proto-Germanic *gnagan, related to Old English gnagan "to gnaw" (see gnaw). Related: Nagged; nagger; nagging.
"old horse," c.1400, nagge "small riding horse," of unknown origin, perhaps related to Dutch negge, neg (but these are more recent than the English word), perhaps related in either case to imitative neigh. Term of abuse is a transferred sense, first recorded 1590s.
A horse, esp an old and worn-out racehorse: to make dough on the nags

Will Breasts Get Smaller After Healing from Reduction Surgery?
Doctor Answers 11
Breast Reduction and Resulting Cup Size?
Thank you for the question.
Congratulations on having undergone the breast reduction; it is one of the most patient pleasing operations we perform.
I was suggest that you wait at least 9 months to one year After surgery to determine your satisfaction with the results; I would also suggest that you do not base your satisfaction on resulting cup size.
Best wishes.
Web reference: http://www.poustiplasticsurgery.com/Procedures/procedure_breastreduction.htm
Swelling after breast reduction can last 6-9 months.
Swelling can persist for a minimum of 6-9 months after surgery. Therefore it is difficult to assess the final size unitil that time has transpired.

Breast reduction size
Yes, they will still get smaller with time but you did not have much removed and that amount will decrease your breast size by about 1 one half cup size. Make sure you wear paper tape over the incisions for about two months to help the scars heal.

In my opinion If you had DDD breasts the vertical breast reduction does not lend itself to reducing your DDD to a C/D. You most likely needed the anchor incision to provide the access needed to remove significant amounts of breast tissue. With the small amount you had removed it is very unlikely that your size will change very much.

Removing 250 grams is UNLIKELY to Reduce DDD Breasts to full C to D Breasts
Removing 250 grams of breast tissue is UNLIKELY to Reduce DDD Breasts to full C to D Breasts. . Although there will be some further decrease of post surgical breast swelling with time, in my opinion you may need further surgery to reach your goal.
Breasts continue to soften and get smaller as the swelling after reduction surgery improves
At two weeks after your surgery, it is too early to assume that you are seeing the final results of your breast reduction surgery. That having been said though, 250 grams is not a large volume reduction. At this time, the best course is to wait and let the healing process go on. In 6-8 weeks, you should have a better idea of the true size of the breast. If you are still too large I would go see another surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery for a second opinion. If you can get a copy of your operative report and pathology report to bring to that consultation, the surgeon will find them useful
Breast reduction and final volume
Your breast will certainly go through some changes as they heal form a breast reduction. Give it some time to see the final results and ultimately the final volume. The swelling will subside over time.
Difficult to answer without seeing you
This question is difficult to answer as most women don't wear the right size bra. Your body habitus will have a great deal to do with how much is removed. Your breast may have a lot of fat as opposed to breast tissue which has volume but not much weight. I agree that 2500gms does seem like not that much but you may also have a lot of swelling.
There is nothing to do at this time but wait. Give it a good 2-3 months and then re-evaluate. I will assume you will be seeing your doctor several times during this period so you can even bring it up on the next post-op visit.
Breast Size after Reduction Surgery
It is impossible to exactly estimate the size of the breast after reduction surgery. However, your surgeon should be able to give you a general idea. However, taking 250 cc off would not make a DDD into a C or D. If you are only 2 weeks after surgery, there is likely still significant swelling which will settle over the next month or so. Good luck with your recovery.
Web reference: http://www.ShaferPlasticSurgery.com
How much tissue to remove in breast reduction can be calculated.
Of course you will shrink a little after breast reduction when swelling goes down. But typically there is not much swelling.
There are a number of charts and formulas to help us decide how much breast tissue to remove. And given your frame, I am afraid that removing 250 grams will not get you from a DDD to a large C or D. But it may be that you end up with a nice result, even if it is larger than you wanted. The vertical technique is the best.
The only alternative is to wait six months, and have a revision through the same scars.

Q:I have fine, shoulder-length, light brown, virgin hair. How long should I leave in the henna for a vibrant ginger color and how much should I use?Asked on 7/1/2015 by Emily from Dalton, Georgia
2 answers
A:Hello! I have dark brown almost waist length hair. It's too dark for the
henna to make it ginger and I have to use more than one brick haha. But for
your hair I would say to use about 2/3 of a brick (better too much than too
little) and I usually leave mine in for 5-6 hours so that it really has
some time to set in the color. Hope this helps!Answered on 7/3/2015 by Anonymous
A:I would suggest leaving on the henna for the full five hours and use as much as you would need to fully saturate the hair.Answered on 7/3/2015 by Kels from LUSH Direct
Q:Hello everyone,
I've never used henna or any hair dye (I have Virgin hair) and was wondering about the fading process. Does henna fade like regular chemical hair dye or does it fade away completely and go back to the way it used to be before henna?Asked on 7/1/2015 by Carnation from SoCal
2 answers
A:Our henna fades away very naturally and leaves your hair looking extra shiny. It takes a very long time to fade, but when it does, it looks very natural!Answered on 7/1/2015 by Serena from LUSH Direct
A:Oohh, you're in for a treat!! Henna hair dye fades away so naturally and
beautifully-- you'd never know that you even dyed it in the first place! I
can't even begin to describe how easy it is. And honestly, in my own
experience, the sun fades the color faster. So, if I part my hair in
different ways, and expose hair under layers that I haven't before, the
color is still adding gorgeous tones months and MONTHS later! People still
ask me if I put red henna in my hair again-- and I say, "No, that was 5
months ago!" =) Have fun with it!Answered on 7/1/2015 by Kimmie from Tallahassee
Q:How long should I leave a strand test in the henna? I remember reading somewhere to leave it in for 20 minutes. But I can't imagine why I wouldn't leave it in for as long as I am planning to leave it in when I dye all of my hair. Thanks for your help!Asked on 7/1/2015 by First-time-dyer
1 answer
A:You should leave it in for at least one hour and up to two - twenty minutes isn't long enough for the henna to stain your hair, so we always suggest at least an hour!Answered on 7/1/2015 by Serena from LUSH Direct
Q:We don't have this Q&A on the UK website so I'll ask it on here.
I have naturally red hair with blonde ombré. I want to get of the blonde at the ends and am considering using this to dye all over so it's one colour.
Does anyone know if this will make my naturally red/auburn hair go really bright orange will it still look like my natural red?Asked on 6/28/2015 by Chloe from UK
2 answers
A:Your naturally red hair will look bright and intense while the blonde at the ends will look bright orange. I might wait until the blonde is almost completely gone before trying this one otherwise you're ombre will stay ombre.Answered on 6/30/2015 by Alexander from Lush Direct
A:This is a tricky one. The red henna is going to make your already red hair
a more fierce, livelier, brighter red. On the blonde side of things, the
blonde will take the color but be a different version of red (strawberry
blonde? Light red?). But either way, I think your hair will look great--
just be prepared for different tones of red in your hair. It won't be all
the exact same color because the henna adapts to whatever tones are already
there. (I will say, I had my brunette friend do this to her ombre'd hair
with the dark brown henna and it worked like a charm! Really lovely!)Answered on 6/29/2015 by Kimmie from Tallahassee
Q:If you have naturally black hair do you have to bleach it before putting the henna on for the color to take?Asked on 6/25/2015 by Naudie
1 answer
A:I would not recommend applying our Henna on bleached hair. Unfortunately, our Hennas are not meant to lift color :(Answered on 7/3/2015 by Kels from LUSH Direct
Q:Hi, I just had my henna hair dye on last Sunday and everytime I wash my hair the henna keep coming out again and again. Do anyone here know why is this and is this normal? This is my first time using Lush henna products. Thanks.Asked on 6/17/2015 by Declove
2 answers
A:Yes, this is normal, because when you are initially washing out the product you should be washing it until it runs clear. Although, it's totally fine that you're still experiencing some dye. So you can always just wash your hair until the water runs clear the next time you shower!Answered on 6/19/2015 by Pauline
A:The dye coming out for the first few washes is normal. As the hair relaxes
it releases more of what is not needed. I usually rinse out the dye
immediately after the process is over for a long time until water runs
clear, which is great indicator most of it is gone. Also, I have taken to
wrapping an old clean rag around my head then use a bath cap during the 3-4
hour time you leave it on, so that I do not stain my clothes or
furniture....it helps a great deal.Answered on 6/18/2015 by Anonymous
Q:Does the amount of the product that you use alter the final colour?Asked on 6/7/2015 by mfilly
1 answer
A:Just make sure that the hair is generously coated, there is no need for excess as it will not effect the color.Answered on 6/8/2015 by Lana from LUSH Direct
Q:Am I missing something about how to apply this to roots? I tried caca marron several years ago which is much closer to my natural color, and I applied it with my Hands and didn't see any issue with my roots. Flash forward: I recently bought caca rouge to change up my routine, I have now applied it two times and about 1/2 an inch of my roots still stand out. The first time (just over a week ago) I did it with my hands and figured that was why. Today I applied it with a brush and was much more thorough (I thought) and still my roots are super visable. Today I sectioned my hair, applied it to the roots in that section, let it sit a min, and then to the rest of my hair in that section.
I am in love with the color caca rouge makes my hair, how do I apply this to get my roots to match the rest of my hair?Asked on 6/5/2015 by Stella (the experimenter) from Boise, Idaho
2 answers
A:It may be that you need to leave the color on the hair for a longer amount of time for it to penetrate the hair. In the summer months, the hair tends to lighten slightly with the sun and henna has a hard time adhering to lighter hair. You should notice more of a difference by leaving the henna on longer.Answered on 6/8/2015 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:Hi. To be honest, I was really disappointed w/ the Henna color. It made a
giant mess in my house, didn't stick to my roots properly, and the color
seemed to fade almost immediately. It also seemed to leave my hair in a
rough & brittle condition. If I were you, I'd use an all natural/amonia
free box dye. Leaves less of a mess, the color sticks, and your hair feels
much better. Sorry for the lack of an answer. Also, I used the dye when it
was very warm, wrapped it with plastic wrap, & kept it in for 5 hours.
Still, no luck. :(Answered on 6/5/2015 by Anonymous
Q:hello lushies which one will give the best result warping or un wraping the henna when it on my hair??Asked on 5/25/2015 by nina
3 answers
A:It really just depends on the outcome that you are looking for. Covering the hair will result in a deeper, more vibrant red!Answered on 6/1/2015 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:I have been using henna for 3 years and notice a much more vibrant color when I use Saran Wrap. It's too bright for me the first few days but it needs time to process and leaves a beautiful color. This last time I didn't wrap and it is much more subtle, so it depends what look you are going for :)Answered on 5/26/2015 by Anonymous
A:Hi, there, I am not sure the difference, but I wrapped my hair everytime i henna dyed my hair. I did not have a very good result, but maybe it's because my hair was black, very dark...I used 9 little blocks, which is 1 and half caca rouge...Hope this will help!Answered on 5/25/2015 by Anonymous
Q:I have long, thin dark brown hair with very subtle hints of red (natural) and I was wondering how much do I need to use? My hair is 12 inches below my shoulder and I want to make sure I get it evenly from my roots to tips. I also was wanting the color to end up being a dark auburn finish so how long should I keep it in for? I can't wait to try out this product!Asked on 5/22/2015 by emkill from Coral Springs, FL
2 answers
A:As results can always vary depending on your hair, my best recommendation to receive henna's full benefits is to use the entire block and leave it in your hair for 4 hours. This is so it can absorb to the hair and provide an overall consistent result!Answered on 5/27/2015 by Anonymous
A:I have short brown hair and mix the brown and red. One square red to half square brown. I would guess if you are using one color, you would need at least 3 and possibly 4 -5 squares. It is a fab product- your hair will be fuller with great shine. I leave in for at least 2 hours.

Q:How many times should I rinse, shampoo, and condition my hair directly after applying the Henna? I've used this product before and when I did I shampooed my hair about 3 time after, does that affect the color intensity of the product?Asked on 5/11/2015 by VagaTheVixen from Bronx, NY
2 answers
A:I recommend washing it out the best you an without the shampoo and then washing it out with a moisturizing shampoo for anything left over. You likely wouldn't need a conditioner afterwards as the Henna treatment is also deeply moisturizing. However, you can condition if you feel like your hair needs it and it shouldn't hurt the color.Answered on 5/15/2015 by Lana from Lush Direct
A:I tend to avoid shampoo for at least 3/5 hours, if not a full day after
using henna. I tend to get my best results when the henna is applied hot,
and I use conditioner to rise it out. This makes my hair super oily, since
my hair is so thin. But ti also makes my hair very bright and shiny once I
actually use shampoo. If you prefer using shampoo right after, I'd rise
with water first, as much as possible. Then use something gentle for color
treated hair - I like to use other Lush product. Your local store can give
you a heads up with what will work best for your henna hair. I usually
rinse 3 times with conditioner when I use my hennaAnswered on 5/11/2015 by Anonymous
Q:Hello i have been using the caca brown henna for the last 2 years and i am ready to try the caca rouge, my question is do the hair have to be clean? my hair is oily, some times i used the dry shampooAsked on 5/10/2015 by LULU from Park City, UT
2 answers
A:I recommend doing it on clean dry hair.Answered on 5/15/2015 by Lana from Lush Direct
A:Yes, you should start with your hair shampoo'd clean and dry for the best results.
The caca marron is very pretty, too -- it's a "chestnut" (which is what marron means) or auburn shade, kind of reddish-brown, if you don't want to go all the way red.

Q:How often can you use this (will it damage hair if you use it several times in a row)? I didn't notice any change in my darker brown hair and wanted to try it again. Should I wait or is it okay to do it after 2 days?Asked on 5/1/2015 by CB from Tampa, FL
4 answers
A:Our hennas contain very nourishing ingredients, so it should not damage your hair! Feel free to use it again after two days!Answered on 5/11/2015 by Sal
A:No it won't damage your hair at all. You can use it as many times are you
are willing to let it sit in your hair. I like using it again a week later
a couple times in a row to get a really deep rich red. The one thing is
that the henna bar contains a lot of cocoabutter which could make your hair
feel weighted down if it's finer. But henna works by staining the cuticle
as opposed to chemical hair dyes which work by lightening the hair with
harsher substances that have the capability to break down protein and
therefore burn your skin and dissolve your hair. The short answer is that I
wouldn't bother waiting. Go ahead for darker red hair. You can also try a
few things such as lightening your hair in the sun with a mixture of lemon
juice and chamomile tea(or use the Marilyn hair treatment)., adding a
tablespoon or two of red henna powder to the caca mixture (allowing time
for it to bloom), or you could use red wine (i use the kind from a single
serving box, so NOT fancy) as your liquid instead of water when melting
the product down. Also leave it on for as long as you can stand and wrap
your hair very tightly with plastic wrap because the more the henna
oxidizes the more brown the final result will be. I also do a baking
soda/acv rinse prior to coloring my hair to ready the cuticle as much as
possible before introducing pigment. Hope that helped :)Answered on 5/7/2015 by Anonymous
A:I would think you would be ok using it soon after, I never noticed any
damaging effects from using the henna. I have very dark brown hair as well
and the only way I was able to get the color to actually do anything was to
leave it on my head for at least 8 hours, sometimes up to 12, covered in
plastic wrap (I've done this both while awake and while sleeping). It left
my hair wonderfully conditioned and a very nice reddish color, with my
grays turning into red highlights.Answered on 5/1/2015 by Anonymous
A:It shouldn't damage your hair, but I'm concerned as to what may have kept
you from seeing results. Thoughts and ideas: if your hair is too dark, you
may want to use a lightener (lemon or bleach if you are comfortable with
it) before you apply the henna. Secondly, be sure that you make the henna
mixture very hot, as heat activates the color. Gloop a lot of it in your
hair while it's still hot (but not so hot you burn yourself, be careful).
Make sure that you separate your hair and layer it in, because it won't
soak through like OTC hair dyes, its more of a mud consistency. Next,
oxygen is your enemy because it makes the henna appear more brown. I
usually take a plastic grocery bag because it's a good shape already, but
you can use saran, and plastic my hair to keep it oxygen free while it's
setting. Then I put a towel over that to help keep it warm, since heat is
your friend. Lastly, make sure you're leaving it in long enough. Two-three
hours is what I typically do, although in the past I have done overnight as
well with good results. It can take a further day or two for the color to
fully develop, henna keeps changing color for a long time. good luck!Answered on 5/1/2015 by Anonymous
Q:Can I use this product in streaks of my hair instead of applying it all?Asked on 4/24/2015 by michelleyy from florida
1 answer
A:You're welcome to use the product however you would like, that being said I wouldn't recommend highlighting your hair with henna. Henna acts like a gloss over the hair strands, which could make for an uneven overall effect with henna highlights. Henna dye is also active for the few days after you dye your hair. I would avoid henna highlights in case it creates slightly dyed patches around the highlights.Answered on 4/26/2015 by Myriam from LUSH Digital
Q:Hello everybody. I'm a newbie who has dyed my hair in the past, but recently I've finally grown out all my old, dyed hair and I'm ready to give this a try.
My hair is a medium brown color (for lack of better description) and I'd say about three or four inches past my shoulders in length, but it is quite thick.
I want to be able to spend the first month reapplying the color once a week. How many blocks should I purchase? More simply, how many squares of a block do you think I would need for a single usage?
Thank you in advance!Asked on 4/23/2015 by Julie from Milwaukee, WI
2 answers
A:I would say if you would like to apply it once a week buying 3 Caca Rouge bars for 4 applications would be sufficient. Within that 3-4 squares should suffice, but you can obviously play with the amounts after your first application because you will know how much your hair needs.Answered on 4/29/2015 by Pauline
A:I suggest 3 "squares" or 4 at most, with 1 - 1/2 cup of water. If you're going red at all, do wrap your henna-ed hair in Glad Wrap or Cling-Film (I put on a cheap shower cap over that to keep any drippiness contained) and leave it in for at least 3 hours. Lots of excess henna will wash out the first couple of times you shampoo. If you follow the directions carefully, you probably will not need to reapply color every week; every 4 weeks might be enough. ¡Viva les cacas!

Q:My question is two fold:
1. Is Caca Rouge compound henna?
2. I have been using Caca Rouge for just over a year now. I last hennaed in the middle of March. I am now ready for a change in hair color and would like to color my hair lavender. Can I use chemical dye and, if so, how long is it recommended to wait before using chemical dye on hennaed hair?Asked on 4/12/2015 by TiffTiff from North Carolina
4 answers
A:I actually do not know if henna is compound henna. Kush's caca rouge is
the only kind of henna I have ever used, but that's a great question. Have
you tried giving the customer care line, or a local store a call?
I'd say it all depends on how intense you wish to dye it - full cover
lavender, you may want to wait a few more months to be safe. I feel like
I'm guessing here, which is never a good sign. While I've used this henna
for years, I've never used other dyes in my hair, so this is another
question I can't give a 100% answer to, beyond suggesting to talk toy your
local store. But I's wait at least three/four months from your last henna
date at the very least
Hope this helps!Answered on 4/17/2015 by Anonymous
A:Our Cacas are not compound hennas. I suggest waiting 3-6 months to dye over your hair with chemical dyes, because henna effects can take a few months to die down. I definitely recommend doing a strand test before you start thinking of dying your entire head with a chemical dye.Answered on 4/13/2015 by Pauline
A:The advice I've heard is at least 3 months. If you're worried, do a strand
test first.Answered on 4/12/2015 by Anonymous
A:DOn't know about the compound henna question. TALK to your hairdresser about chemical dye. I did that and didn't have a problem. But I don't remember how long it was after I dyed with henna and then with chemical. And my chemical was dark brown. So.....I would say ask the hairdresser what he/she thinks.Answered on 4/12/2015 by LuAnn from Savannah

Q:I have never tried Henna before but I am very interested. I am naturally blonde and have chemically dyed my hair red for years. I've seen that the henna on blonde hair gives it a glowing red color. Im looking for more of a toned down red. Has anyone mixed the Caca Rogue with the Caca Brun? How has it worked out for you?
Thanks so much!Asked on 3/29/2015 by RikaKarly from Boston, MA
1 answer
A:We don't really recommend mixing the different hennas together, as they were formulated to work on their own. I would suggest trying Caca Brun. Once you have that nice tone if it isn't red enough for you, then layer on the Caca Rouge. The Hennas are natural and it isn't harmful for your hair to have multiple treatmentsAnswered on 3/29/2015 by Lana from LUSH Direct
Q:So my hair is stubborn to take color in from regular box dyes. Should I bleach my hair/ lighten it before using this to achieve a brighter red color? My hair is a lighter brown color with a few golden streaks in it. Also, is it safe to leave in overnight?Asked on 3/28/2015 by Briebrie from Scottsdale, AZ
3 answers
A:That's a huge no for the bleaching - you'd have a wait a few months,
because why there aren't harsh chemicals in henna - there are chemical
reactions. I'd suggest when you apply the henna, you make sure it is very
hot. I usually double glove my hands so my henna's still steaming when I
apply it, but I have a high heat tolerance (bakery hands). Be careful that
you do not bur yourself. And yes, you can leave it in overnight, but the
reaction won't continue that long. I suggest washing it our with
conditioner only - something heavy in coconut or other oils that lock in
moisture and color, and not washing your hair afterwards for a day. I
always get my best color when I plan not to leave the house for awhile.Answered on 4/1/2015 by Anonymous
A:Unlike most box dyes, henna coats the hair as opposed to getting inside of it. So I think with your hair color you should be safe to try the Caca Rouge and get some lovely results. I personally recommend trying it for about 4 hours, but it is perfectly safe to keep on over night. If you don't find the red is as bold as you would like, you can apply another henna session right away! Henna is great for layering and doesn't harm your hair with repeated use.Answered on 3/29/2015 by Lana from LUSH Direct
A:I have brown hair so I can't help with the first part of the question. In
my opinion though, I would say though that you should try the henna first
without bleaching and see how it works because bleaching is really damaging
to your hair so, if you don't like the way it turns out after the first try
then, seek other options. When it comes to leaving the henna on overnight
you can definitely do that. Henna instructions I've seen, always say to
leave it in for a few hours but, for me personally I leave it in as long as
my schedule lets me. I usually do it early in the night like 6 or 7 pm,
sleep on it and sleep in, then wake up and shower it out. This next time I
do it i'm planning on leaving the henna in for a whole day to see how much
of a difference the time length makes. Either way since henna isn't store
bought chemicals you shouldn't really have to worry about how long you keep
it in because it doesn't damage your hair. It can help make it healthier
and stronger. Check out this link for more information:
http://curly2kinky.com/hair-care/henna/. Do a little more research and then
decide what's best for you. Either way colouring your hair is fun so enjoy
it and if you don't like it the first time then do something else the next.
Good luck! :)Answered on 3/29/2015 by Anonymous

Pittsburgh Man Pleads Guilty To 8 Counts Of Bank Fraud
PITTSBURGH, Pa. ‑ A resident of Pittsburgh, Pa., pleaded guilty in federal court on Jan. 12, 2011, to eight counts of bank fraud, United States Attorney David J. Hickton announced today.
Marco Dane Crowe, 22, pleaded guilty before Senior United States District Judge Alan N. Bloch.
In connection with the guilty plea, the court was advised that Crowe defrauded Citizens Bank out of money by negotiating forged checks; making unauthorized wire transfers of money; and by impersonating account holders to gain unauthorized access to customer's accounts.
Judge Bloch scheduled sentencing for May12, 2011. The law provides for a total sentence of 240 years in prison, a fine of $8,000,000, or both. Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the actual sentence imposed is based upon the seriousness of the offenses and the criminal history, if any, of the defendant.
Pending sentencing, the court revoked Crowe's bond and detained him.
Assistant United States Attorney Gregory C. Melucci is prosecuting this case on behalf of the government.
