The Strand Lighting Arena 4.5 - 60° PC Light (120VAC) gives you an extraordinary beam angle range of 4.5 to 60°, with excellent beam quality (greater clarity and less light spill than a Fresnel). The 8" (200 mm) lens also delivers a very even field mid-focus to flood, with minimal field angle and a clean, "punchy" spot. Effective throw distances range from 20 to 98' (6 to 30 m). The rugged construction consists of pressure die-castings and aluminum extrusion.
Additional features such as an adjustable yoke balance point, easy access to the lamp and for cleaning, heatflow control that lowers the body temperature of the fixture (extending filter life), and the ability to replace the lamp without changing focus make this fixture a great value in theatrical lighting.

- Replace the lamp without altering the focus position
- Effective airflow maintains lower body temperature
- Integral micro-switch provides automatic disconnection of power to the fixture when removing the lamp module, preventing a student or technician inserting a lamp into an electrically live fixture

European Stocks Post Biggest Weekly Decline Since June
Sept. 29 (Bloomberg) -- European stocks posted their biggest weekly decline since June as concern that the latest round of bond buying in the U.S. will fail to encourage growth offset speculation China may announce further stimulus measures.
Volkswagen AG led automakers lower after forecasting tougher business conditions for the second half. Fomento de Construccion & Contratas plunged 15 percent, pacing a drop in Spanish construction companies. Infineon Technologies AG slid after predicting sales and profitability will decline. Telekom Austria AG sank after cutting its dividend.
The benchmark Stoxx Europe 600 Index fell 2.7 percent to 268.48 this week. The benchmark measure has still advanced 6.9 percent this quarter as European Central Bank policy makers approved a plan to buy the bonds of the most-indebted members of the euro area. The index added 0.9 percent in September, for a fourth straight monthly gain.
"There are elements of political risk," said Guillaume Duchesne, an equity strategist at BGL BNP Paribas SA in Luxembourg. "Fundamentals remain weak and there is still pressure on economic growth. We have a rather negative outlook."
Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia President Charles Plosser said on Sept. 25 that the Fed's latest round of quantitative easing may jeopardize the central bank's credibility. The Federal Open Market Committee said on Sept. 13 that it will buy mortgage-backed securities at a pace of $40 billion per month until the labor market improves.
China Stimulus
A report on Sept. 27 showed China's industrial profits fell for a fifth month in August, increasing speculation the government will do more to support economic growth. China may further cut banks' reserve requirements or interest rates if external demand worsens, Chen Yulu, an academic adviser to the People's Bank of China, told reporters in Beijing.
Spain's cabinet on Sept. 27 approved the budget for 2013. Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has vowed to cut the deficit by at least 18 billion euros ($23.1 billion) next year, defying tens of thousands of demonstrators who fought with police in Madrid this week to demand the premier reverse course and resign.
Rajoy is struggling to persuade European peers, voters and investors that he can tackle the crisis. Spanish bond yields surpassed 6 percent this week amid rising investor uncertainty over whether he will ask for external aid.
FCC led Spanish construction companies lower. The builder plunged 15 percent this week, while Sacyr Vallehermoso SA sank 14 percent. Acciona SA, a renewable energy and water provider, tumbled 13 percent.
U.S. Data
Business activity in the U.S. unexpectedly contracted in September for the first time in three years, adding to signs manufacturing will contribute less to the economic recovery.
The Institute for Supply Management-Chicago Inc. said on Friday that its business barometer fell to 49.7 this month from 53 in August. A reading of 50 is the dividing line between expansion and contraction.
A separate report from the Commerce Department this week showed that total orders for durable goods, those meant to last at least three years, plunged 13 percent in August, the most since January 2009. Another report showed the world's largest economy grew less in the second quarter than previously forecast. The economy expanded at a 1.3 percent pace after growing at a 2 percent rate from January through March.
National benchmark indexes declined in all of Europe's 18 western markets. France's CAC 40 Index dropped 5 percent, the U.K.'s FTSE 100 Index fell 1.9 percent, and Germany's DAX Index retreated 3.2 percent.
Carmakers Decline
Stoxx 600 automakers fell 6.3 percent this week, for the biggest decline among the 19 industry groups on the index.
Volkswagen's preferred shares slid 4.8 percent. Market conditions have become "noticeably harder and tougher," Chief Executive Officer Martin Winterkorn said on Sept. 25.
PSA Peugeot Citroen, the region's second-largest carmaker, decreased 5.4 percent. Fiat SpA, the Italian automaker that controls Chrysler Group LLC, fell 7.6 percent.
Continental AG, Europe's second-largest auto-parts maker, sank 8.9 percent in its first week back in the benchmark DAX Index after being reinstated following a 45-month absence.
Infineon, Europe's second-biggest semiconductor maker, lost 12 percent. The company on Sept. 25 said revenue in the three months through December will drop as much as 10 percent from the previous quarter while operating profit will decline to between 5 percent and 7 percent of sales from almost 12 percent as clients cut spending amid the economic slowdown.
Telekom Austria
Telekom Austria, the phone operator partly controlled by Carlos Slim's America Movil SAB, sank 14 percent. The company on Sept. 24 cut its dividend forecast for this year to 0.05 euros per share from 0.38 euros because cash flow will be lower than expected. The former Austrian phone monopoly had initially planned to pay 0.76 euros a share for 2012, before halving its guidance on Dec. 16.
London Stock Exchange Group Plc tumbled 12 percent. Europe's oldest independent bourse said new European Union regulations will cut income at its Italian central counterparty and may require LCH.Clearnet Group Ltd. to boost capital.
Recommendations published on Sept. 27 by the European Securities and Markets Authority proposed that 95 percent of a clearinghouse's cash deposits placed with financial institutions must be collateralized with debt instruments meeting certain conditions regarding liquidity as well as credit and market risk, LSE said.
Qinetiq Group Plc jumped 10 percent. The technology and research company said on Sept. 24 that a stronger-than-forecast first-half performance should help it meet analysts' expectations for the full year.
Air France-KLM Group, Europe's biggest airline, rallied 5.1 percent. UBS AG on Sept. 28 raised the stock to buy from neutral. The chief executive officer is focused on the change program, the government seems supportive and it has already implemented some key restructuring measures, UBS said in a note.

What to expect:
Sesame Place, in Bucks County (about 30 miles north of Philadelphia), is geared toward kids 2 to 13, with an emphasis on the younger end of the age range. Kids get to meet Big Bird (8 feet tall!), Elmo, Bert, Ernie, Zoe, Cookie Monster, Oscar the Grouch, and the rest of the gang that hangs out in Sesame Neighborhood, a full-size, outdoor re-creation of the Sesame Street TV show set.
The characters appear in musical revues and as larger-than-life inflatables in the daily "Rock Around the Block" parade. There's also a computer gallery, hands-on science exhibits, and kid-sized amusement park rides and water attractions. Sesame Place is small for a theme park (at just 14 acres), but relaxed, clean, and easy to get around.
The water attractions are among the park's highlights. The six-story-high Sky Splash water slide and Slippery Slopes, a 75-foot water slide, are particularly well suited for grade schoolers and their parents. If your 5- or 6-year-old is a bit squeamish, he could try the less-challenging Slimey's Chutes and Little Bird's Rapids. Teeny Tiny Tidal Waves, a 10,000 square-foot-wave pool is suitable for just about all ages. On Big Bird's Rambling River, families share tubes to float leisurely along a thousand-foot waterway.
Scheduled to open in 2009: The Count's Splash Castle, a multilevel interactive water-play attraction with such features as a tipping bucket, multiple water slides, valves, levers, water curtains, bridges, hydro blasters, bubbler jets, bongos, hose jets, and water wheels.
One of the land-based rides is the Vapor Trail, a one-quarter-mile steel roller coaster that many 5-year-olds will be ready to tackle with their parents (8-year-olds may find it too tame). Kids in this age group should also enjoy the many physical play activities such as the Sesame Slides and the three-story Nets 'n Climbs structure, where parents can join in on the crawling and climbing.
Food concessions, restaurants, picnic area (outside the main entrance), stroller rentals.
- Considering that admission for kids age 2 and up costs the same as adults here, it can get pricey. You can save money by bringing your own food to the picnic area. A season pass is available, so if you plan to come three days or more per season, this will also save you money.
- Bring swimsuits or a change of clothes. Wear water shoes to protect feet.
- Keep in mind that because water rides (and getting wet) are a big part of the fun here, a cool, fall day might not be the ideal time to visit.
When to go:
Sesame Place is open daily from mid-May to early September, and weekends in early May, September, and October, with varying hours.
Getting there:
The park is approximately 30 minutes north of Philadelphia and 90 minutes south of New York City.Take I-95 north to the Morrisville exit (29A/Rt. 1 North). Continue to the Oxford Valley exit, turn right onto Oxford Valley Road, then turn right at the third traffic light. Or take Roosevelt Boulevard/Rt. 1 North to the Oxford Valley exit, turn right onto Oxford Valley Road, then turn right at the third traffic light.
For rates, hours, and other information visit the Sesame Place website or call (866) 464-3566 (866-GO-4-ELMO).

Nestle Working On "Exercise In A Bottle"by Samantha Pankey
What if you could get the benefits of exercise without stepping foot in a gym, on a track, a court, without waking up early to get in your run, make your yoga class, go for that bike ride?

Nestle scientists may not be far off from developing that "magic potion."

Nimbl: Cash Delivery From Mobile, Human ATMsby Beth Graddon-Hodgson
Automatic Teller Machines (ATMs) are pretty darn convenient as it stands. They eliminate the need for people to have a face-to-face conversation with another human being. And, they appear in places where there isn't even a traditional financial institution, which was a pretty innovative business plan in its time. But, cash convenience can be improved upon; if it comes to you.

Sorry I'm so far behind in my comments again. It's been an exhaustive couple of weeks for me. I'll return this weekend to catch up. I wanted to try something a bit different. I know it's a little out there, but I had fun. I'm ready for spring. Thanks for looking.

This is very good... very good indeed. I like the mood you have created with this interesting style. I like the variety of living things, sometimes in telling contrast, hunting down what must be life.

Out there??? This is marvelous. Great sense of movement, fabulous colours and effects, the full range of ages of humans represented and a nice touch of irony with the fox running parallel to the horse and the dog (and cat). I love it!

I think this is sensational! I love the cast of characters and the sweeping lighting/brush stroke which is so dramatic. They all look like they are on some kind of mission, quite determined. I love Mr Fox right up front too. Where are they going? Great story picture.

Oh no, not out there at all! Fabulous is more like it. I love the sense of wind and light, the almost dream quality of it, the feel of movement, I love the fox in there .. really adds to the dream quality.
Playing is fun .. and you learn so much when you play with your programs. I can't believe the things I can do with my little paint shop pro! I hardly ever lust after the huge and expensive photo shop anymore .. hardly, grins.

(marathon comment-warning!)
Ok. Going back to images I haven't commented on, I picked this, this morning, because I remember my feelings when I saw it. It's another of your wholly fresh surprises, Cathy, people & animals who appear to have stepped out of a 19th C. novel, all walking in some strange procession of the soul in the midst of a 20th C. city---made of dreams, the present, and collective memory. (Sorry if this sounds like the sales blurb to a new novel: I really meant what I just wrote!) I do see the 'hunt'---ie, the hunting outfit and the foxes---but I also see a woman dressed for something ceremonious, followed by animals/pets who seem to be connected to her, and by ghost images of people from the past---hers or someone else's, we don't know: a child who almost seems like a ghost of ancient childhood, and a woman in the right who seems like an ancestor or even mother, walking in from the old country, a reminder to someone or something, we don't know what. I know these pieces may just be efforts to try-out new techniques, as you say here from time to time; and maybe people like me are ladening your efforts with overly heavy storylines: If so, I plead guilty, lol! But really, for me these feel like past & present, a move to another place that may have much more light & illumination than this city has; and you've given it all a visual diagonal "rain," you've highlighted parts of the animals in late-day orange sunlight (nostalgic, warm & rich, I think), you've done a wonderful painterly job with wiggly street lines (there's an example of the inexplicably delightful 'out of the blue' touches you put into all your pieces, man I love those lines!); and the center house/building---we have no idea what that is, except that it seems to hold a deep secret for these beings, indicated by your mysterious shading and by the primal empty feeling it gives off. (More archetypal backgrounds in your pieces.)
Where do you get all these visions? They're heavy & fun, mysterious & playful; and they feel like a transition of some inner kind. It's like a procession from a Fellini film, only in the guise of a British/American 19th C. novel, with a 20th C. American city (that stoplight, another of your great touches), and with wobbly & painterly whites. Bravo! Ya did it again! So when they reach out-of-town, you'll tell us, right? I mean, what they saw? I think they're together, and I'd really like to know how long they go back, if all of them are alive or are just 'visitations', and if that lady is really going on a hunt or if she just likes dressing that way. (Maybe it staves off idiot suitors, who knows!) Terrific, evocative, mysterious and playful. What can I say, I'm a fan!
Mar 19, 2010 11:19:46 pmby DocHaze Homepage »
That is fantastic work...
May 16, 2010 1:06:15 pmby kasalin Homepage »
Great scenery and a great composition !!!!!!!!!!!!!
May 24, 2010 8:25:02 pmby myrrhluz Homepage »
I think this is out there in the sense that it strays from the norms and causes the viewer to think. It will be seen differently by each person who views it. What I see is alienation. While they are all walking the same direction, they seem to be separate units, on their own mission or purpose. Even the horse and rider seem distant from each other, lost in their own thoughts or reality. The colors and wavy lines give it a feeling of not being of the real world but journeys of the mind or spirit. The blank black windows, unadorned and stark architecture, hard pavement and glaring yellow light give the town a very bleak look, but whether it a physical place or a state of being, is open to conjecture. The cat seems to be not totally encased in his own world, but then cats regularly travel between different planes of existence. The use of color and texture is excellent! Wonderful image! I like this a lot!

maserati birdcage, brass chassis, russkit wheels
Posted 27 May 2006 - 08:10 PM
not sure why the pic is so big though!
Posted 29 May 2006 - 03:12 PM
I was a real fan of Russkit stuff, as it really promoted the scratch building side of the hobby.
Take care with those wheels, they don't like being twisted by hand to lock or unlock them.
You could try re-sizing the pic to about 700 pixels wide. At the moment yours is about 1200 wide which is a bit big for viewing on the internet.
Got any more pics of the old stuff??

seem to be though.
i remember ruining the russkit wheels as a kid so now ive figured out why
they give you two wrenches with them!
that body has made some great strides just in the last weekend since i
took the photo. will post more at some point.
ive got all kinds of old slot car stuff as ive taken to restoring old ones
and/or building retro ones. check the other thread i posted for some and
maybe i will upload more if there is interest. i was sort of thinking this
forum was dead.
about the body shown, i have no idea where it came from or who it was
made by. i got it in a lot on ebay and it had literally one eighth inch of
ugly flourescent orange paint on it and about another eighth of dirt on top
of that. couldnt even tell what it was. then i got it and started looking at it:
maserati birdcage, not a bad rendition at all. chassis is scratch built with
ball bearings in all four wheels and the motor as well. but the body was
busted in a couple places: the lower front valance was cut away, the left
front fender cracked and a big piece missing, the interior was cut away,
etc. so i stripped it down and repaired the problems and shot some paint.
but then some filling i did sank or it wasnt as good as i initially thought
and it looked like ###### plus i put on too much paint and the detail in the
intake screens and headlamp covers was all filled in, so i stripped it again
and started over, redoing all the bodywork. then i fabricated the
aluminum interior panels you can barely see in the photo, rebuilt the
birdcage part using plastic and aluminum tubing, plus a lot more not
shown in this photo.
to tell the truth im not sure i will use the russkit wires as the rear (wide)
ones might well be too wide to fit the fender wells. wish i had two sets of
narrows. might end up just using some halibrand kidney wheels or maybe
some wire inserts. this car will probably not see much track time in
reality; probably run it once or twice and retire it as a show piece.
anyone have any idea where this body came from? ive searched high and
low for a source but no luck. it is NOT the russkit superlegera body. i
faintly remember a birdcage put out by MPC or someone but no one i
know remembers it and i know a lot of people who should so i think im
just confused on that.
Posted 15 August 2006 - 12:12 PM
answering my own question here...
turns out its from a fairly obscure 60s company called Bergman. anyone remember them? i think this maserati and a ferrari were its sole products. im currently after a MOC maserati on ebay so PLEASE dont bid against me even if just to see just how foolish a bid i put in on it because I REALLY WANT A MINT ONE!
Posted 19 January 2007 - 10:50 AM
this has come a lot further but i havent taken or posted any photos lately
Posted 19 January 2007 - 11:41 AM
What a tease.
bump for zebm1
this has come a lot further but i havent taken or posted any photos lately

Posted 19 January 2007 - 01:17 PM

Posted 19 January 2007 - 03:26 PM
but I don't think anyone ever made a body of this car.
S M P, S M P, send more pics
Posted 20 January 2007 - 07:07 PM
so im glad theres some interest in slots here still; i had kinda given up the ghost plus me and my buddy took down our track so there hasnt been much motivation for me to do any for awhile.
but as mentioned the 'cage has come some way since those pics, heres some more recent ones. still need to pick and mount some wheels and i need to perform surgery on a pilot figure one of these days.
completely off topic but i picked up one of those CMC birdcage 1/18 diecasts, man what a piece of engineering that is. its as complex as the real thing, i swear!
Posted 21 January 2007 - 01:24 AM
Can you show us a pic of the business side?
What motor is that poking through?
Posted 21 January 2007 - 12:50 PM
note the ball bearings on all four axle contact surfaces. it runs very smooth even if the rpms arent what you would get from a can motor.
Posted 21 January 2007 - 02:00 PM

I ordered Rugged Ridge floor mats for my Jeep Liberty and was very pleased with the ordering & delivery process. The appearance is great and installation simple. The high contour, hugging sides make this the best in the industry. The only negative is the ridges. I live on a farm and often have dirt, mud and snow on my shoes, so I wanted something with deep ridges. Unfortunately, the ridges are just little lumps unable to hold much water, mud etc..

What is it?
This new version is a car with a Mensa-level IQ but lacks that little bit of real-world sparkle. Still, it's epically quick.
It sprints along at a galactically fast pace, but here's the key: there's little feedback from the controls, and the noise isn't very interesting. The car doesn't feel or sound alive - it doesn't report enough on what it's up to. Even when making huge efforts, it seems effortless. The M6 cabrio is marginally better: the extra exhaust noise and the speeding rush of air brought the car to life.
It rides beautifully over lumpy surfaces, soaking up the worst that under-nourished asphalt can throw at it.
Uses the same 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 as the M5 which means 552bhp and more than 500lb ft of torques. It'll also hit 62mph in 4.3 seconds and would probably nudge 200mph if it wasn't limited to the usual 155mph. Epically quick.
On the inside
For a GT car the Six is fine for practicality. There's a 460-litre boot that loses many litres if you get the roofless one. But there's no 'Touring' option.
High insurance, low teens mpg - a Polo Bluemotion it ain't. Add to that a £90k price tag and you have a very expensive toy, that manages to be MORE than a BMW M5.

An enchanting comedy of manners (with dogs!) from one of our most treasured writers Cathleen Schine's brilliantly funny new novel revolves around one city block in Manhattan, a quiet little block near Central Park kept humble by rent control. Living on a street like this in New York with a dog is like living in a tiny village, one that has a rhythm all its own. Dogs bring people together unexpectedly, people who would otherwise never meet. And the dogs act as cupids for the quiet, struggling, sometimes lonely, eccentric people, the old and the young, male and female; the people who live on the block, who are, in their ways, romantics, as all New Yorkers secretly tend to be. Walking her dog, Beatrice, Jody falls under the spell of Everett's bewitching smile. Everett begins to appreciate his postdivorce life only when he falls in love with Howdy, Polly's puppy. Polly lives with her brother, George, and wants him to fall in love. George isn't so much looking for a love life as for life direction, and Howdy leads him right to it. Doris hates the trash on her block, she hates the pee on her SUV's large tires, and, above all, she hates dogs. That is, until she gets one of her own. In The New Yorkers, as in life, canine companions compel their masters to go outside of themselves, to take part in the community they live in, to make friends, and, sometimes, to fall in love. And Schine returns to what she does best: crafting a compulsively readable, elegantly written novel that seduces in the way we were once seduced by The Love Letter, Schine's beloved classic.
Cathleen Schine is the author of The Love Letter and Rameau's Niece, among other novels. She has contributed to The New Yorker, The New York Review of Books, The New York Times Magazine, and The New York Times Book Review.

Now he's joining forces with the defending AL champion Detroit Tigers -- a team that's come close to winning baseball's ultimate prize each of the last two years.
"To win it all, they're just like me. They don't know what it feels like," Hunter said. "If there's no failure, there's no progress. These guys are hungry for it."
The Tigers introduced Hunter on Friday ...

Not your average Joe helps Hawks rout Heat
Joe Johnson was tired of all the double- and triple-teaming. So he put up a shot before Miami could get an extra defender on him.
From about 30 feet away.
After a mostly disappointing series, Johnson finally showed up when the Hawks needed him most, making six 3-pointers and scoring 27 points to lead Atlanta into the second round of the playoffs with a 91-78 victory over Dwyane Wade and the Heat in Game 7 Sunday.
Atlanta got past the first round for the first time since 1999. Their reward? A matchup with LeBron James and the top-seeded Cavaliers, beginning Tuesday night in Cleveland.
Johnson, the Hawks' top scorer during the regular season, was held under 20 points in five of the first six games by the Heat. It looked like more of the same when he missed his first five shots of the decisive contest.
Then, suddenly, he found his range. First, a 3-pointer from just outside the line. Then, on Atlanta's next possession, he pulled up near the tip of the winged logo at center court — a good 7 to 8 short of the arc — and launched another one. Nothing but net.
"I was just trying to be more aggressive," Johnson said. "I haven't put up a 3 that long in a while. I said, 'Forget it,' and just launched it. Making that got me into a little rhythm."
He finished 6-for-8 from beyond the arc.
n Nuggets 109, Mavericks 95: Nene scored 18 of his career playoff high 24 points in the first half and Denver easily won the first day game in the Pepsi Center's 10-year history.
Carmelo Anthony scored 23 points, including a dunk off J.R. Smith's behind-the-back assist that rocked the arena in the closing minutes. Smith added 15 points, leading a bench that outscored Dallas' celebrated reserves 38-24 before both teams emptied their benches.

WEBSITE OF THE DAY - fatbadgers.co.uk
The Fat Badgers are a dedicated little band of creatures.
They spend their time burrowing around the UK in search of decent places to eat and drink.
The result is this helpful guide to this green and pleasant land. Each pub or eatery has been suggested by Joe Public and then visited by one of the team. If it measured up it's been "Badged" and is listed here.
It's always good to go on recommendation when it comes to decent venues, we reckon, and this lot seem to have as good a set of criteria as any.
But the site doesn't stop at pubs places for a good night out. They've explored each area and suggest ideas for days out.
In all, it's a light-hearted and useful guide to the place we call home. And if you know of a decent boozer then drop them a line.
If you have a website that you want to tell us about email us via the feedback form.

The New York Times on states worrying about Air Guard bases slated for closure. LINK
The Fitzgerald investigation:
Using a rare (and exciting) "This Washington Post reporter" reporter phrase to describe his contacts with Administration officials, Walter Pincus writes that "The origin of Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV's trip to Niger in 2002 to check out intelligence reports that Saddam Hussein was attempting to purchase uranium has become a contentious side issue to the inquiry by special counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald, who is looking into whether a crime was committed with the exposure of Valerie Plame, Wilson's wife, as a covert CIA employee." LINK
When you finish reading the piece, it's hard to be sure you know what Pincus thinks the evidence shows. Intentional? We don't know.
The economy:
". . .the Department of Energy warned that pump prices could remain above $2 a gallon through much of next year," reports the Los Angeles Times. LINK
House of Labor:
John Sweeney reaches out to locals of the renegade unions, per the New York Times' S. Greenhouse. LINK
2008: Republicans:
Perhaps in an attempt to rehabilitate his image with some conservatives in his party, Sen./Dr./Leader Bill Frist writes a Wall Street Journal op-ed in which he calls the "death" tax "immoral" and promises a vote on it after Labor Day. We certainly do not want to suggest that Sen. Frist did not proofread it or give it a good once-over, but it reads pretty staff written to our eyes.
"The question of his Mormonism may reveal something about the Republican Party and the Christian activists who have been key to recent Republican electoral victories," writes Bloomberg's Przybyla in her look at how Gov. Romney's religion may or may not play a role in his potential presidential run.

Thomas Beaumont of the Des Moines Register writes that Newt Gingrich is once again promoting his new book (in Iowa). According to state Republicans, the aroma of a presidential campaign is unmistakably wafting through the air -- as evidenced by the Gingrich-Clinton health care compatriotism and his GOPAC's instruction program for school board hopefuls.

ATLANTA, April 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- UCB today announced interim results from the VITOBA™ (VImpaT® added to One Baseline AED) study, which showed that patients with less refractory partial-onset seizures treated with Vimpat® (lacosamide) C-V as add-on to monotherapy experienced seizure reduction. These data were presented today at the 64th annual meeting of the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) in New Orleans.
VITOBA™ is a six-month prospective, non-interventional study of the efficacy, safety and tolerability of lacosamide when added to a single AED in patients with partial-onset seizures. The study has a planned enrollment of 500 adult patients. This interim analysis included efficacy data for 99 patients and safety data for 109 patients.
The patient population in VITOBA™ reflects epilepsy patients treated in routine clinical practice. The majority of patients (73.4 percent) had received only 1-3 AEDs since diagnosis. The mean lacosamide maintenance dose was 250mg/day and the median was 200mg/day.
Compared to the overall VITOBA™ study population, patients treated with only one lifetime AED experienced the greatest benefit from add-on therapy with lacosamide:
Treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) included fatigue (11.9 percent), dizziness (10.1 percent) and convulsion (5.5 percent).
"While preliminary, this interim analysis is noteworthy because it reflects a real-worl

One poll to rule them all...
Cobravert6/15/2013 2:24:11 PM PermalinkIf it isn't out for another entire year, I may lose all interest by then. If it's out by the end of this year, probably.
Rhase6/15/2013 2:13:43 PM PermalinkMaybe. To be honest, if it comes to PC I will pre-order in a heartbeat. I usually do not buy a "next gen" console for sticker price. Seeing as it releases on the 360 as well, maybe the account you create could be xferred to your Xbox One down the line. If that is the case, maybe I'll go that route. Still, I'd prefer a PC version. I think all of us PC gamers would. Til that river is crossed I'm just lurking, trying not to get my hopes up.

hey there
looking good over all. have yout tried painting any or ya just sticking to drawing?
i especially like the 8th one from the top. good intensity of expression...
October 24th, 2004 #5
i have painted some, but not lately. unfortunately, i have yet not figured out a way to scan them.
October 24th, 2004 #6
About scanning pics bigger than the scanner (not to big though)...you could scan the painting in segments then use like ps or microsoft image composer or the like, to put the segments togheter. The tricks are
1:scan the segments so you could overlap them, that way there will be no line between the segments meaning scan a bigger part than you would use in the finished pic.
2: when scanning make sure that you scan the different segments in the same angle. This is easy when one is using paper since you could use the edge of the scanner (where the glass ends and the plastic part begins) to get the paper in the same angle. It's harder if you are using a canvas especially if it has that "wooden frame" then you need like something outside the scanner to fill that function like e.g a really big and heavy book.
3: zoom in a lot while putting them togheter.
If my explanation is to bad I could take some pics that help explain what I try to explain.
PS: the easiest way is to get your hands on digital camera.

Ps:Hope you understand my English.
Remember my advices taste best with a grain of salt.

yeah i;ve done a bit of scanner mixing, but it's annoying.
