Epic Systems Corporation is a privately held healthcare software company. According to the company, hospitals that use its software hold medical records of 54% of patients in the U.S. and 2.5% of patients worldwide.[5]
It was founded in 1979 by Judith R. Faulkner.[6] Originally headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin, Epic moved its headquarters to a large campus in the suburb Verona, Wisconsin in 2005 [7] where it now employs more than 8000 people. In 2015 it plans the fifth phase of expansion with five new buildings each planned to be around 100,000 square feet.[5]
Product and market[edit]
Epic's market focus is large health care organizations. Epic offers an integrated suite of health care software centered on a Caché database provided by InterSystems.[8] Their applications support functions related to patient care, including registration and scheduling; clinical systems for doctors, nurses, emergency personnel, and other care providers; systems for lab technologists, pharmacists, and radiologists; and billing systems for insurers.
Its competitors include Cerner, MEDITECH, Allscripts, and units of I.B.M., McKesson, Siemens and GE Healthcare.[4] In total, Epic has 315 customers. This includes 69% of Stage 7 U.S. Hospitals, 71% of children's hospitals, and 83% of Stage 7 Clinics. [9]
One hundred percent of customers that are live with Epic's EHR are also live with Care Everywhere, Epic's health information exchange software.[10] A 2014 New York Times article interviews two doctors who say that their Epic systems won't allow them to share data in a way that will satisfy Meaningful Use requirements. Epic charges a fee to send data to some non-Epic systems.[11] Epic says the yearly cost for an average-sized hospital is around $5,000 a year.[10]The RAND Corporation described Epic as a "closed" platform that made it "challenging and costly for hospitals" to interconnect with the clinical or billing software of other companies. Research firm KLAS said Epic's scores for data sharing were "as good or better than most of the other vendors." Faulkner says Epic was among the first to create rules about sharing health data and a platform to do so, introducing Care Everywhere in 2005 because the US government was not prepared to tackle the problem. The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology produced a 10-year vision and agenda to achieve healthcare interoperability in 2014.
In 2003, Kaiser Permanente, the largest managed care organization in the United States,[12] chose Epic Systems for its electronic records system.[4] Epic also provides electronic record systems for Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, the Cleveland Clinic, Johns Hopkins Hospital, and The Mount Sinai Hospital.[4] [13]
Problems in U.K.[edit]
An Epic electronic health record system costing £200 million was installed at Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in October 2014, the first installation of an Epic system in the UK.[14] It is described as "well regarded, but relatively expensive".[15] 2.1 million records were transferred to it. Within a short time it developed serious problems and had to be switched to read-only for three hours.[16] The Trust invoked the major incident procedure during that issue, as the system became unstable on the night of 1st November. Ambulances were diverted to other hospitals for five hours. Subsequently hospital consultants highlighted issues with blood transfusion and pathology services.[17] A briefing note sent to local GPs said problems included delays to emergency care and appointments, and problems with discharge letters, clinical letters and pathology test results.[15] Chief information officer, Afzal Chaudhry, said "well over 90% of implementation proceeded successfully".[14]

Ivan Rodriguez, Jason Varitek still looking for work
Jan 26, 2012, 6:26 PM EDT
Brad Ausmus played until 41 despite rarely getting a ball out of the infield in his later years and an extreme lack of production never stopped the Royals from throwing money at Jason Kendall, but all of a sudden, experience isn't counting quite as much on the catcher market.
Ivan Rodriguez, who landed a two-year, $6 million contract last time he was a free agent, is struggling to find a job this winter. The same goes for Jason Varitek, though in his case, it's the lack of a throwing arm, not so much his bat, that's costing him.
Rodriguez, who needs 156 hits to get to 3,000 in his career, isn't considering retirement just yet. He told the Washington Times that he's fully recovered from the oblique strain that limited him last year:
"The only thing I can do is just keep myself in good shape and see what happens, you know? That's basically about it. It is tough. At the same time, what you going to do? You really cannot do anything. The only thing I can tell you is that I'm in good shape. I feel pretty good."
The Cardinals, Rays, Marlins, Athletics, Mets, Rockies, Cubs and Pirates all have unsettled backup catching situations at the moment, but none seems especially interested in signing a free agent. Besides Pudge and Varitek, Ramon Castro and Ronny Paulino are struggling to find jobs as well. No one from the group figures to get more than a minor league contract.
- Francisco (FC) - Jan 26, 2012 at 6:32 PM
The only thing I can tell you is that I'm in good shape. I feel pretty good."
ONLY in good shape? NOT, in The Best Shape Of His Life?
- crisisjunky - Jan 26, 2012 at 7:00 PM
Too bad the Stro's already took a shot at Snyder, it seems like Houston would be a great fit. Cheap 2yr (long enough to get the needed hits) mentoring gig for Castro, playing enough to get 75 hits each year, segueing into a post career coaching position. God knows he could instill a little enertia into that moribund franchise.
Perhaps back to the fish is the only thing left, latin Mecca and all……
- Old Gator - Jan 26, 2012 at 11:24 PM
If I were the Feesh (which I am in spirit, not that those clowns appreciate it), I would offer Pudge a minor league contract with an invite to spring training. If he has anything like a bearable year at the plate, his quest for 3000 hits could be something that sustains interest and helps secure a foundational fan base in Lil' Havana and thereabouts. It'd be a cheap trick – and it's not like there are a lot of competent backup catchers to be had anywhere else. The Feesh already have John Buck.
- bigharold - Jan 26, 2012 at 11:58 PM
The last time Rodriguez got more than 156 hits was 2006. So unless the Feesh are ready for a two year commitment he not doing it as a Feesh.
Time to put the ol'boy out to pasture.
- Old Gator - Jan 27, 2012 at 2:15 PM
No pasture for him. I've seen his boat. He has better places to play where there are no meadow muffins to sully his Guccis. And anyway, stop acting as if you really think this is about baseball, Harold. This is about markeeting. I bet you even think the Republican primary debates are about us.
- bigharold - Jan 26, 2012 at 7:18 PM
"Rodriguez, who needs 156 hits to get to 3,000 in his career, .."
That's two years minimum at this stage of his career.
Neither Rodriguez nor Varitek are even competent back up catchers any longer. If either of these guys was a 29 year old journeymen with similar skills they'd be looking for a coaches job or one as a car salesman. If a team signs either of these guys for their reputation or their ability to handle pitchers they will be sorry.
- natstowngreg - Jan 26, 2012 at 9:05 PM
Pudge can still catch and throw, even if he's no longer a good hitter. Someone could use him. Not sure about Varitek.
- bigharold - Jan 26, 2012 at 9:25 PM
" Someone could use him."
Whom then? Aside from his profoundly dismal offensive numbers what makes ANYBODY think that I-Rod has anything left?
- The Baseball Idiot - Jan 27, 2012 at 1:28 PM
They aren't 29-year old journeyman.
One is a future Hall of Famer, and the other was a key part of two World Series champions.
So I guess I'm not really sure what your point was.
- bigharold - Jan 27, 2012 at 5:22 PM
There reputations aren't going to mean anything when runners are stealing on them at twice the rate of a 29 year old journeyman. When they go oh-fer the game and kill one rally after another who much will their credentials be worth then?
Both of these guys are WAY past it. It's time they both started looking for another line of work because they are not competent MLB catchers anymore. They are trying to live off their past accomplishments and if it weren't for those accomplishments nobody would take them seriously. And, there isn't a chance that either can continue at anything close to what they once were.
Giving them a roster spot because they were once very good catchers knowing that they aren't and that there isn't the slightest chance they might be very good ever again is bad baseball, .. that's the point.
- bigzant82 - Jan 26, 2012 at 11:40 PM
Pudge please come to the mets we need all the defense we can get even if ya 41
- bigharold - Jan 27, 2012 at 12:00 AM
Don't you think the Mets have enough things working against them already?
- papacrick - Jan 27, 2012 at 2:47 AM
I wish my Tigers signed him as a back up over Lard. No way he can be worse. He's responsible for Detroit's revival while turd is the symbol of us blowing game 163 in 09′
- streatordave - Jan 27, 2012 at 10:39 AM
I would love to see Pudge back in a Ranger uniform, even as a coach.

The atmosphere the family lives in before the tragic death of the perfect son, Buck is "great". Buck made the entire family proud. After his death in the boating accident the facade the family lived in started falling apart. Conrad felt he was responsible for the death of Buck and blamed himself. He even tried committing suicide and this just made his "perfect" mom mad. This family has trouble communicating and they just avoid talking about their problems. Whenever Cal and Conrad try speaking up Beth interrupts with her attitude and brings up supposedly "happier" memories. Berger, a psychiatrist that Conrad was seeing made him realize the truth about what really was going on in his family. He was of great help to Conrad and Cal, but Beth didn't want to see him because she thought family problems should be fixed within the family. Overall, I think this book is really good in making you realize that your own problems are so normal and many people go through the same thing. Even though they had more severe problems like depression, it helped me see my issues aren't that bad when compared to others. I recommend you watch the movie because it's easier to understand the meaning of their situation.
Judith Guest brings the reader into the story at the middle, shortly after son Conrad's release from the hospital--and with a somewhat sparse but remarkably eloquent style quickly develops the characters that people Conrad's world as he fights to find balance between his parents and himself, as he works desperately to find a way out of the expectation of perfection imposed upon him by both himself and the society in which he moves.
Guest's characters move with considerable reality and a touching humanity above the novel's unexpectedly complex underpinnings, and the author's prose is smooth, easy to read and understand, and completely faultless. Among the most astonishing elements of the work is the fact that Guest writes the entire novel in the present tense--a risky choice, but one which she brings off with amazing skill. A beautifully written novel and a powerful look at the downside of the American dream. Strongly recommended.
The book continually prompts the shock of recognition as we discern character traits and even scenes out of our own lives and we come to see that the Jarretts are truly "Ordinary People". The extraordinary tragedy in their lives has merely revealed fault lines that lie beneath many of our own lives.

Re: Hoping I'm not the only bad person out there ...
Perhaps your wife is coming from the school of thought that marriage = joint finances. Maybe her parents did it that way? In terms of marriage finances, IMO whatever floats your boat and works...joint finances all the way, separate and joint for household, completely separate.
Full disclosure DH and run joint checking, he carries mortgage, we are joint on auto and LOC and have separate CCs. Works for us, YMMV.
What I am getting out of this is it's more what you use the hidden account for rather than the account itself. Yes, it worries me that you feel as if you have to have a hidden account, however I have a feeling that the reasoning for that goes deeper than what you can/care to articulate. Which is fine, it is your business. I think you are worried about the gambling/gentleman's club visits becoming an issue if you have to come clean about the account as your wife may object. I doubt she would be as upset if you just used it for her presents. I know if DH had a separate account for that as long as the bills were paid I wouldn't care a whit.
So, if it's purpose rather than the account itself, are these hobbies worth the marital damage (assuming she would object to them)? Or are you hanging on to them as you seem to miss your independence?
Not pointing fingers, just asking questions that I hope will help you put the pieces together in your own head. At the end of the day you know your wife and marriage better than we all do. Best of luck!

Patri Friedman
Patri Friedman (born July 29, 1976 in Blacksburg, Virginia) is an American libertarian activist and theorist of political economy.[1] He founded the nonprofit Seasteading Institute, which explores the creation of sovereign ocean colonies.[2][3][4]
Early life[edit]
Friedman grew up in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, and is a graduate of Upper Merion Area High School, class of 1994, where he went by the name Patri Forwalter-Friedman. He was named after Patri J. Pugliese, a close friend of his parents.[5] He graduated from Harvey Mudd College in 1998, and worked as a software engineer at Google.[6][7] As a poker player, he cashed in the World Series of Poker four times.[8]
The Seasteading Institute[edit]
Friedman was executive director of the Seasteading Institute, founded on April 15, 2008, with a half-million-dollar donation by PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel.[9] The Institute's mission is "to establish permanent, autonomous ocean communities to enable experimentation and innovation with diverse social, political, and legal systems".[10][11] This was initially a part-time project — one day a week while working as a Google engineer the rest of the time[6] — but Friedman left Google on July 29, 2008 to spend more time on seasteading.[12] He and partner Wayne Gramlich hoped to float the first prototype seastead in the San Francisco Bay by 2010.[13][14] At the October 2010 Seasteading social, it was announced that current plans were to launch a seastead by 2014.[15]
Since attending the Burning Man festival in 2000, Friedman imagined creating a water festival called Ephemerisle as a Seasteading experiment and Temporary Autonomous Zone. Through the Seasteading Institute, Friedman was able to start the Ephemerisle festival in 2009, aided by TSI's James Hogan as event organizer and Chicken John Rinaldi as chief builder. The first Ephemerisle is chronicled in Jason Sussberg's documentary,[16] and appeared on Google Maps satellite view for several years. Since 2010, the event has been annual and community-run.
Future Cities Development[edit]
On July 31, 2011, Friedman stepped down from the position of executive director at the Seasteading Institute, and remained chairman of the board.[17] Later, he co-founded the Future Cities Development Corporation, a project to establish a self-governing charter city within the borders of Honduras.[18][19]
This initiative has been discontinued.
Patri is the grandson of Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman[20] and economist Rose Friedman and son of economist and physicist David D. Friedman.[20][21] He is divorced and has two children.[22]

Albert Odyssey's dialog makes it all worth it. 0
Albert Odyssey is a special game. Not because of the battle system. The battle system is really generic, and frankly, boring at times. The graphics aren't special. They're just 16-bit graphics redux for a Saturn. They look great, but it's not much different than Wild Arms. The story was certainly nothing special. It's about a boy and his attacked village and seeking revenge. The dialog though, now that's special and unforgettable. Working Designs took a chance with this game.

Mar 15, 2013I don't know what else they have up their sleeves, but these three tables were more then enough to get me absolutely salivating at the idea of more Star Wars content.
Apr 13, 2013Star Wars Pinball is the best pinball available on your PS3/Vita. Each table of Star Wars Pinball offers something familiar while giving you a new-interactive-way to play pinball. These are definitely the pinball tables Star Wars fans were looking for.
Mar 7, 2013In the meantime, I can easily say that Star Wars Pinball is a must buy for Pinball Wizards, crazy old wizards, and even us pinhead mortals.
Apr 1, 2013One of the better recent collections, the Star Wars set is a treat for fans of the franchise and a decent collection of tables for any pinball enthusiast.
Mar 5, 2013The tables are well crafted with some nice artwork and excellent graphics, and Zen offer some fine fan service to Star Wars fans.
Score distribution:
Positive: 1 out of 1
Mixed: 0 out of 1
Negative: 0 out of 1
Mar 10, 2013This review contains spoilers. Tables are beautifully crafted. It takes about half an hour or less to figure it out. Lot of sound clips from the movie. I'm just hooked by Empire's Strike Back Table, and once I master it, will move on with the other 2. Nice DLC where pinball and Star wars fans finally meet.… Collapse

By Daniel firstname.lastname@example.com A 34-year-old man was robbed at knifepoint while stopped for a passing train, police said. Vicente Garcia, a car mechanic from Forest Park, was driving his 1998 Chevrolet Metro with the windows rolled down on Monday afternoon. He stopped for a train on Old Dixie Highway, and as "the train cleared the tracks," a man and a woman came up to his car, wielding knives and demanding money, according to a police report. The woman allegedly approached the driver's side window, with a pocket knife drawn. She reached in, the report said, and put the car in park. A man allegedly approached the passenger's side of the car at the same time, got in, wrapped his right arm around Garcia's neck and put a knife to his throat, Rivera reported. "The male suspect then told the victim: 'Gimme the money! Gimme the money! I'll kill you, if you don't gimme the money!'" according to Garcia's statements to police. The 34-year-old lost an $800 cashier's check, $70 in cash and a Mexican ID. The man and the woman drove away in Garcia's car. Anyone with information about the stick-up is asked to call police at (770) 473-5400. Boy downs in apartment pool A 7-year-old boy drowned in the Regal Pointe Apartments pool in Morrow Tuesday. He was swimming with his siblings and cousins -- ages 1, 3 and 3. He was being watched by his grandfather, 42-year-old Aaron Brock, at about 4:30 p.m., according to a police report written by Clayton County Police Officer Anthony Thomas. One of the 3-year-olds appeared cold, Brock told police, and the man got the three younger children out of the pool and was getting them dressed. The 7-year-old, who "could tread water but could not swim," stayed in the pool and continued to play. When Brock heard a woman say there was someone "under the water," he "knew immediately," and ran and jumped in the pool, according to Thomas' report. Brock was doing CPR when paramedics arrived. The 7-year-old was pronounced dead at Southern Regional Medical Center at 7:22 p.m. The boy's body was turned over to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation for an autopsy, but police did not expect to file any criminal charges. Teens charged with auto break-ins Three teens were arrested on charges of breaking into a series of cars at Riverdale area apartments. The teens allegedly broke into a silver-colored Chevy Suburban, a green Honda Accord, a burgundy Infinity, and a green Mitsubishi Eclipse Tuesday afternoon, according to a Clayton County police report, written by officers Tim Garrett and Bret Bell. One teen was arrested while allegedly carrying a yellow-and-black, flathead screwdriver in his pocket. One was arrested while allegedly driving a Chevrolet Monte Carlo away from the scene, with three car stereos, two small televisions, and "numerous screwdrivers and pliers." He reportedly told police he was leaving his girlfriend's apartment. The third teen was arrested while running down the street in his socks. He was "breathing heavy and appeared very nervous," according to the police report. "I stopped [him] and asked where he was coming from," wrote the investigating officer in his report. "He stated, a friend's. I asked where he was going and he could not advise." The trio reportedly broke into vehicles at Alexander Falls Apartments, 950 Lake Ridge Parkway, and Garden Lake Apartments, 1000 Lake Ridge Parkway. Two of the suspects allegedly confessed to police. The three were charged with entering autos, loitering and possession of tools in commission of a crime.

"I'm not in the front," Thorne replied.
"Do you see anything or hear anything more?'' Nute asked.
"I keep hearing shooting, I keep hearing popping," Thorne said.
At one point Thorne tells the dispatcher "now it is silent" but the shooting starts again. There are about six shots fired and then silence. About 30 seconds later, there is one last shot. Authorities have said the last shot is believed to have been from a pistol Lanza used to kill himself.
While Nute was on the phone with Thorne, a state police dispatcher relayed to Newtown a call from the teacher who was shot in the foot. She told the dispatcher that she was huddled in Room 1 with students and two adults. The teacher told Newtown dispatcher Jennifer Barosi that her foot was bleeding.
"Are you safe?" Barosi asked.
"I think so. My classroom door is not locked," the teacher said.
The dispatcher instructs the teacher to apply pressure to her wound.
"Are you OK for now?" Barosi asked.
"For now. Hopefully," the teacher replied.
Note: An early version of this story made reference to one of the 911 calls coming from teacher Kaitlin Roig's classroom. The call did not come from Roig's room.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

I'd be stunned if he doesn't.He might get a dose of Louisville...
"Baseball is a very, very complex business. It's more of a people business than most businesses." - Bob Castellini
If Homer turns out to be good, this will someday be viewed as knowing his job and being strong willed and determined.
Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13, 15
University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98
I opined last year that *maybe* part of the sudden about face regarding starting Homer might be to teach him a lesson that he needs to listen to their advice, he can't do it all his own way, he has to work on controll, etc. Sometimes hard-headed people have to learn the hard way and letting him get thrashed a bit was to show him that he doesn't have it all figured out.
Not saying this is proof that I was correct, but maybe my tea-leaves reading was closer to being right than wrong.
a super volcano of ridonkulous suckitude.
I simply don't have access to a "cares about RBI" place in my psyche. There is a "mildly curious about OBI%" alcove just before the acid filled lake guarded by robot snipers with lasers which leads to the "cares about RBI" antechamber though. - Nate
The Rally Onion wants 150 fans before Opening Day.
I wouldn't call that being a headcase, I'd call it immaturity. Why people expect a baseball player to be more mature in their approach to taking instruction than the general population, I have no idea. Homer seems to be acting his age, which is another reason that he should not be depended upon this season but continue to learn and mature mentally and physically.
But then, I guess Hal has never been one to avoid overdramatizing a topic.
That may explain the more "mentor-student" thing going on this spring with Pole.
That said, Bailey will always be a bit crazy IMO. That has its upsides.
John Fay alluded (somewhat) to this the other day after trying to interview Homer.
Why do I have this sinking feeling that Homer will struggle off and on and show flashes of brilliance but never really dominate until it's his free agency year. Then, he will walk away from the Reds because of bad feelings towards the team for not letting him do it 'his way'. He'll sign with someone else and be gangbusters.
I just got up so maybe that was just a bad dream I had last night.
I have no problem with Homer being a head case as long as he doesn't turn into a Brett Tomko.
I have heard conflicting stories about Homer's behavior and I am not going to cast him in any light. I simply haven't seen or heard enough. I doubt any one person on this board has.
One POSITIVE story about Homer is when he went to work in Sarasota last year to recover from his groin issues. Tom Brown, the former Marlins Pitching Coordinator, stayed with him the entire time. Homer worked with him DAILY on mechanics, approach to hitters, grips, his breaking ball you name it. When Homer came back to the Reds his delivery was noticeably improved and like magic his breaking balls were getting over for strikes. Obviously the kid listens well enough at times to grasp what he is being taught.
My contention for the last 4-5 years is that there have been numerous coaches in the organization that couldn't help a high school team much less a Homer Bailey. As I have noticed this season looking at the coaches in camp that situation has improved somewhat. Players know who is full of it and who they "WANT" to listen too. Something tells me Homer may not be as dumb as some people think.
Cedric 3/24/08It's absolutely pathetic that people can't have an opinion from actually watching games and supplementing that with stats. If you voice an opinion that doesn't fit into a black/white box you will get completely misrepresented and basically called a tobacco chewing traditionalist...
Homer's always been a head case. That's not really news. I'll go out on a limb and posit that most very good pitchers are head cases. Now, that doesn't mean Bailey will be a very good pitcher, just that him being a difficult human is far from a disqualifier.
My take is when you're asking someone to do something that most humans can' do, alternative wiring is probably a plus.
Raisel Ghul, the Demon's Head
Make that a thing.
Sal Maglie was a "Head Case"... Bob Gibson, Steve Carlton, Dizzy Dean, Dolph Luque.... and on and on....
This is what Baker said earlier in ST.
There were whispers last year that Bailey wasn't very coachable. Baker hasn't seen that.
Sometimes you need to fail to really listen," Baker said. "Hes been all ears basically, which you like in a young player. But sometimes they have to fail before they listen.

Spotlight for Recruiting ProfessionalsOctober 10, 2012
One of the goals of successful internship programs is providing interns with exposure to the different parts of a business—such as senior management, technical and leadership training, extra project work, and social activities—that help them to grow and develop, and leave a lasting memory.
"It's a win/win because interns develop into more well-rounded people and we get to observe them in a variety of different situations and are able to assess their overall fit for the organization," says Donna Norton, talent acquisition manager for Burlington Coat Factory.
To ensure its interns get exposure to the different areas of its business, Burlington has developed an internship program schedule populated with activities for interns to connect with the company, build skills, and bond with one another.
Following are several tips from Norton for developing and implementing an internship program schedule:

1991 GMC Rally Wagon 3500 Q&A
1991 GMC Rally Wagon 3500 Question: NEED TO KNOW OF KNOWN BULLENTINS? PROBLEMS? GOING ON A LONG TRIP.
SOME TIME IT HAS HESITATION? PLANNING A LONG TRIP,WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT MIGHT HAPPENED,SO I CAN DEAL WITH IT? - van3500
2 Answers
Answer 1
Hesitation - can be due to a vacuum leak, an air intake leak, a throttle body that needs cleaned, an EGR system issue, or a fuel pressure issue. The best thing you can do preparing for a long trip is have a qualified technician evaluate the vehicle's condition. This will give you some insight as to what you may need to be prepared for. Technical Service Bulletins help technicians diagnose "common" issues, but are not a listing of issues you can expect to have. My suggestion is to review the vehicle page on RepairPal (http://repairpal.com/cars/gmc/rally+wagon+3500) and look at the common reported information there. It will give you some information that you can maybe use. Checking the vehicle is more important, overall, however. Good luck and safe travels! - DaveJHM
Answer 2
great answer by Dave. Autozone have some popular workshop manuals for free on line once you register (for free) on their website http://bit.ly/autozone_repair_info or there is a company that independent auto repair shops "buy" their information from that offer a very reasonable service to do it yourselvers. You can get a one week subscription or year subscription very cheap. The information is year make and model specific repair procedures, service bulletins, component locations, wiring diagrams ect.... great quality information same as the professionals have ,much better than generic workshop manuals from parts stores, much cheaper than the factory manual try http://bit.ly/mitchell_repair_manuals_online and get an online repair manual subscription. - patrick mannion

Senator Lee Zeldin Joins Governor Andrew Cuomo in Signing of Historic Property Tax Cap Legislation
State Senator Lee M. Zeldin (R, C, I- Shirley) joined members of the Long Island State Senate Delegation and Governor Andrew Cuomo on Thursday, June 30, 2011, at the Lynbrook home of James and Janet Gannon for an historic signing of the property tax cap bill that passed the State Legislature on Friday, June 24, 2011. This legislation will limit the tax levy growth for school districts and local governments to two percent, or the annual increase in the Consumer Price Index (whichever is less).
The tax cap was also accompanied by legislation that will begin a mandate relief process for local governments and school districts. These relief efforts include a number of mandate reform recommendations that will benefit local governments, saving more than $125 million annually. Eliminating the MTA Payroll Tax is also being advocated as a primary issue for Albany to tackle next year. The elimination of this tax, coupled with comprehensive mandate relief, is viewed as another way for local governments and school districts to cut costs without cutting vital programs or services.
Senator Zeldin (3rd from left) is pictured here with (from left to right): Sen. Kemp Hannon (R, C, I- Garden City ), Sen. Jack Martins (R- Mineola), Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos (R, C, I- Rockville Centre), Sen. Chuck Fuschillo (R-Merrick), Governor Andrew Cuomo, Sen. Carl Marcellino (R- Syosset), Sen. John Flanagan (R, C, I- Smithtown), and Sen. Owen Johnson (R, C, I- Babylon).

Good jacket but...
This is a good, high quality jacket. I am 5-11 200 and an XL was perfect for leaving room for 2 layers underneath, and comes just below waist. The only glaring problem there is with the jacket is the lack of any inside pockets and for me this is really unforgivable. I had a MH Tech jacket from 2000 and it had 2 nice inside pockets, one horizontal, one vertical. I may have still bought this jacket but I should have shopped further.
