This application is a continuation of International Application No. PCT/DK2003/ 000572, filed Sep. 2, 2003, which is a continuation of Danish Application No. PA 2002 01286, filed Sep. 2, 2002, these references are incorporated herein in their entirety.
The invention relates to an apparatus for adjustment of the length of an infusion tubing, comprising a housing with cylinder part including a central axis, said housing further comprising at least one turnable unit.
The invention also relates to a method for adjustment of the length of an infusion tubing by means of an apparatus comprising a housing with cylinder part including a central axis, said housing further comprising at least one turnable unit.
When infusion kits are used in combination with an insulin pump it is necessary to use a tubular element of a certain length, since the distance between the insulin pump and the cannula housing will vary. This variation in the distance between pump and cannula occurs ia during the night when the pump sits on the nightstand. In that case the tubing may be used in its full length. When, during the daytime, the pump is arranged in the belt of the diabetic, the requisite tubing length will be shorter—but still variable, since the cannula may be inserted in different places in the body.
Therefore the problem of excessive tubing may occur that the user may find difficult to arrange/conceal. That means that when cannula housing is arranged in the immediate vicinity of the pump and the user simultaneously uses a long tubing of 110 cm, a worst case scenario will involve about 90 cm that are not "in use".
It is desired to develop a winding device that is able to compensate for the above-described problem.
The winding device is typically located close to the skin—underneath the clothes. Optionally by means of a clip to the trouser waistband.
The winding device must not be able to cause failures of any kind in the supply of insulin; neither by damage to/deformation of tubing nor in any other way.
WO 96/35472 teaches an apparatus of the kind described above; it describes a portable medical pump wherein a winding unit is integrated for the infusion tubing. The drawback of this system is that, apart from the tubing constituting an integral part of the pump device, such system is mechanically complex and restricts the place where the winding may occur to a place near the infusion part and not anywhere on the tubing nor on just any tubing, the winding system being designed exclusively for the pump of which it is an integral part. To the user the system is not particularly flexible, since it is not possible to locate the pump unit and the winding unit apart. Therefore the unit will be very visible to the user when he wears the pump unit.
It is thus the object of the present invention to provide an apparatus wherein the above-referenced drawbacks are overcome, and whereby it is possible to perform a winding of an infusion tubing to adjust the connecting length between pump and the infusion site, the apparatus being independent of infusion cannula and pump. Thus the apparatus enables reuse due to said independence. The system also makes it possible for the user to locate the winding unit anywhere on the body he finds suitable with regard to physiology and with regard to clothing. It is thus an option to arrange it underneath one's sweater, in one's waistband, pocket or the like.
Moreover, an automatic winder is obtained and wherein length increases and reductions are accomplished in a simple manner. The structure is also suitable for the handicapped and, likewise, it is a time-saving device for use by hospital staff in the context of patients who use infusion units, the unit being able to accommodate a considerably long tubing, and wherein the staff is thus able to adjust the length of the tubing in a simple manner, depending on whether the patient is confined to his bed and needs a relatively long tubing from and infusion pump to the patient in his bed, or whether the patient is not confined to his bed and has an infusion device/pump arranged on his body, which means that the tubular connection between that and the site of infusion needs to be short.
This object is accomplished by means of an apparatus of the kind described above and wherein the housing also comprises a first axle, the centre axis of which coincides with the centre axis of the axle, and about which axle the turnable unit turns.
The object is also accomplished by a method of the kind described above, and wherein a first length of tubing is wound around the axle; a second length of tubing is wound around parts of the turnable unit; and a first free end portion and a second free end portion are situated outside the housing.
The apparatus works in that a tubing is mounted in the housing such that, from the housing, two free tubular elements extend, where the one tubular element is connected to an infusion cannula, and wherein the second tubular element is connected to an infusion pump. The two tubing ends will typically be configured such that the one tubing end is adjustable in length, while the second tubing end has a fixed distance to the housing as such. About half of the tubing is wound around a so-called cylinder part situated within the housing proper and being fixedly/non-turnably journalled, albeit it may also be turnable. The tubing is conveyed around an auxiliary means within the housing as such, designated a return wheel, such that the tubing is caused to proceed to an upper rotatable wheel, and wherein the tubing is, in relation to the cylinder part, extending in the one direction of rotation, while the tubing wound around the rotatable winder wheel will be extending in the opposite direction. The free end of the tubing is subsequently led out through the housing. The tubing length is distributed such that there are equal lengths of tubing wound on the cylinder part and the rotating winder wheel, respectively.
When a pull is thus exerted at the end of the tubing that is in direct communication with the rotating winder wheel, the following occurs:
The tubing is unwound from the rotating wheel and thus constitutes the extension. The rotating wheel turns on the axle due to the pull that is exerted on the tubing, and due to the internal construction tubing will be conveyed from the lower cylinder part to the rotating wheel. The construction of the individual elements means that the transfer from the one wheel to the other will constitute a length of tubing, whose length is half that unwound from the cylinder part.
Finally, it is an option to let a part of the interior, corresponding to the part designated the partition plate, be spring-biased such that it is possible to have the tubing pulled into the apparatus.
According to one aspect of the invention including a cylinder part and a wheel part that are rotatable relative to each other, one end of the tubing can be pulled out of the housing. The term 'stationary' as used in this context is intended to designate 'non-turnable' and 'immovable'.
According to another aspect of the invention including a cylinder part that is a stationary axle, both ends of the tubing can be pulled out of the housing.
According to another aspect of the invention the apparatus may include a cylinder part that is a turnable axle, a return wheel that is turnable about a first axle mounted on a partition plate. An aspect of the invention may also include a spring connected to the partition plate and to a part which is stationary in the housing.
By providing an apparatus according to another aspect of the invention where the diameter of the cylinder part and the wheel part are essentially identical, it is an option to automatically pull the tubing back into the housing again.
By providing an apparatus according to another aspect of the invention convenient exchange is accomplished between the two cylinder parts.
The invention also relates to a method for adjusting the length of an infusion tubing.
The invention will now be explained in further detail with reference to the drawing, wherein:
Laterally to said return wheels, recesses 13 are shown that are configured to be so wide that the tubing is able to travel therethrough. In parallel with the axis of said partition plate and above there is arranged a rotating winder wheel/turnable wheel 11 that also comprises a through-going central bore that encircles the first axle 9.
This winder wheel is rotatable and, besides, the partition plate is also turnable about the axle 9. The rotatable winder wheel and the partition plate 10 constitute the turnable unit 6. The tubing is also wound around the rotating winder wheel, from which an end part extends. Finally the housing ends at the top in an upper part 16 configured as a partially cylindrical dish that encircles the turnable unit 6 and ends close to the lower part 17 of the housing.
The functioning of the apparatus 1 is that the tubing 2 is conveyed into the winder such that a short length of the tubing 2 allows coupling to e.g. a pump. About half of the tubing, designated the first length of tubing 5, is wound around the cylinder part 4. The tubing is subsequently conveyed around the return wheel 12. The return wheel is mounted on the plate 10 that separates the fixed and the rotating winder wheel. The return wheel ensures that the tubing is wound onto the rotating winder wheel 11 and the cylinder part 4 in each their direction, ie clockwise/counter-clockwise. Simultaneously the return wheel 12 conveys the tubing 2 past the partition plate 10, such that the tubing 2 is conveyed from the cylinder part 4 to the rotating winder wheel 11. The remainder of the tubing and designated the second length of tubing 18 is wound onto the rotating winder wheel 11. There are equal amounts of tubing wound on the two winder wheels in this example. When extension of the tubing is to be accomplished, the following occurs: the tubing 2 is unwound from the rotating wheel 11 by a pull in the length of tubing 7. The rotating wheel 11 turns about the axle 9, whereby the return wheel 12 will be forced to follow. Since, via the partition plate 10, the return wheel 12 rotates about the central axle 9, tubing will be transferred from the fixed to the rotating wheel.
Likewise, the return wheel 12 moves half the distance of the length of tubing unwound. This transfer will constitute a length of tubing, whose length is half that of the section that is unwound from the winder. Since the return wheel 12 is relieved the rotating winder wheel 11 by twice half of the length of the unwound length of tubing, the requisite length of tubing is accomplished that is required in order for the rotating winder wheel 11 to supply the user with the desired length of tubing.
Simultaneously the return wheel 12 has moved just as much in relation to the cylinder part 4 that has unwound precisely the length of tubing that was transferred to the rotating winder wheel.
The above explanation presupposes that the dimensions of the individual elements are adapted in relation to each other; in this example a diameter D being used for the fixed winder wheel and the rotating winder wheel, while the partition plate as such has a diameter which is twice that. However, other dimensions and hence other exchange ratios may apply.
It should also be mentioned that both the cylinder part and the rotating winder wheel have a height corresponding to the height of the winding of the tubing, and it follows that this height is a function of how much tubing is desired to be stored in the apparatus. The partition plate as such is relatively thin, its object being ia to carry the return wheel 12, which—as it is—is also rotatable about an axle mounted in the partition plate.
Thus, in its simplicity the winder consist of a minimum of seven parts, viz.
A housing that contains the winder mechanism and which is approximately cylinder-shaped;
A central axle secured along the central axle of the housing;
A cylinder part secured on the axle;
A partition plate mounted on the axle after the cylinder part;
A return wheel mounted on the partition plate; the axle of the return wheel being displaced in relation to the central axle such that the return wheel does not overlap the cylinder part or the rotating wheel;
A spring configured in such a manner that it seeks to rotate the partition plate in that direction, whereby the tubing is tightened;
A rotating winder wheel mounted on the central axle.
Besides, it should be noted that the apparatus can be configured such that both ends on the tubing can be pulled outwards. That is, the cylinder part 4 and the turnable wheel 11 can both be turnable. Both units can also be made non-turnable by means of a lock. In this manner the patient himself is able to regulate which of the two units is to be turnable and hence which of the tubing ends is to be adjustable in length, including optionally both ends.

And they'll take another hundred billion in defense spending cuts, please. In a classic example of why the congressional Republicans' willingness to slash the defense budget is such a harmful political strategy, liberals are now flaunting it as a sign the Democrats need to be more ambitious in their defense cut proposals:
Liberal sources say the [Republican] freshman defections shows the White House is shooting too low on defense in the debt-ceiling talks.
"I don't think that $300 billion in spending cuts is either much of a cut or much of a concession," said Rebecca Thiess, a policy analyst with the Economic Policy Institute." …
Obama, perhaps feeling the heat from liberals, in his Wednesday press conference hinted that cuts beyond the $400 billion he has previously outlined could be coming for the Pentagon.
Some congressional GOPs may not be concerned about taking the Obama position on defense reductions, but clearly the president has a political incentive to place himself to the left of these conservative lawmakers on the issue. The more cuts GOP members are willing to concede, the louder liberal activists will become in advocating for additional reductions — giving Democrats exactly the cover they need to double-down on their demands. This is negotiating tactics 101, and Republicans are playing right into the hands of American declinists.

A traffic stop led Johnson City police to arrest a Jonesborough man Monday morning after finding marijuana, cash and a handgun in his vehicle, according to a news release.
William D. Heise, 24, 503 Magnolia Ridge Drive Jonesborough, was arrested after police stopped his vehicle on West Market Street and found about 28 grams of marijuana in his possession and seized $1,485 dollars and a handgun from his vehicle, police said.
According to an affidavit of complaint filed by police, officers stopped Heise about 4 a.m. on West Market near Leisure Lane for speeding. Heise was nervous, sweating and talking slowly, and police smelled a strong marijuana odor coming from the vehicle.
Police asked Heise whether he had any weapons in the vehicle, and he responded that a handgun was behind the driver's seat. Heise refused the officers' request to search the vehicle, but he later consented when police called for a police dog to come to the scene.
Heise told police marijuana was in his backpack and gave consent for a search. Police found the marijuana and $1,380 in cash, a scale, rolling papers and a jar containing marijuana residue. Heise told police the jar was used to cure marijuana, police said in the affidavit.
Police also seized $105 from Heise's wallet.
Heise was charged with manufacture/delivering/selling a controlled substance, unlawful carrying or possession of a weapon, possession of unlawful drug paraphernalia and speeding.
He was initially jailed in the Washington County Detention Center on $70,000 bond and arraigned Monday in Sessions Court. A preliminary hearing was set for the following Monday, and he was released on a reduced bond of $10,000.

After an all-night round of talks among Eurozone finance ministers, Greece was granted its second bailout, this one for €130 billion, in a package that includes recently passed austerity measures and a debt restructuring. But confidential reports distributed to the finance ministers indicate that the deal will not work and may even be counter-productive.
The deal "closes the door to an uncontrolled default that would be chaos for Greece and Greek people," said European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso.
But despite those unprecedented efforts, it was clear that Greece, which kicked off Europe's debt crisis two years ago, was at the very best starting on a long and painful road to recovery. At the worst, the new program would push the country even deeper into recession and see it default on its debts further down the line […]
Despite the promise of new rescue loans, the other 16 euro countries made clear that their trust in Greece is running low. Before Athens will see any new funds, it has to implement a range of promised cuts and reforms.
Greece will also have to pass within the next two months a new law that gives paying off the debt legal priority over funding government services. In the meantime, Athens has to set up an escrow account, managed separately from its main budget, that will at all times have to contain enough money to service its debts for the coming three months.
These requirements, together with tighter on-the-ground monitoring, are an unprecedented intrusion into the fiscal affairs of a sovereign state in Europe and could eventually see Greece being forced to pay interest on its debt before compensating teachers, doctors and other state employees.
As Felix Salmon writes, this basically turns Greece into a colony of the European Union. Their sovereignty has been completely washed away, their elections turned into meaningless theater. And yet, the plan offers no hope for future economic growth, even though it magically assumes it by 2014. Greece keeps the euro, which is overvalued for its economy, and must cut budgets dramatically during its fifth year of recession. And even THAT doesn't protect the debt load of the country:
Where's all this economic growth meant to be coming from, in a country suffering from massive wage deflation? And under this pretty upbeat downside scenario, Greece gets nowhere near the required 120% debt-to-GDP level by 2020: instead, it only gets to 159%. And to make things worse for the Eurozone, the report explicitly says that under the terms of this deal, "any new debt will be junior to all existing debt" — in other words, there's no way at all that Greece is going to be able to borrow on the private markets for the foreseeable future, so long as this plan is in place.
This isn't just conjecture. A report distributed to Eurozone officials last week says the same thing – that this deal will make the debt problem worse and will lock Greece out of the credit markets. [cont'd]
The 10-page debt sustainability analysis, distributed to eurozone officials last week but obtained by the Financial Times on Monday night, found that even under the most optimistic scenario, the austerity measures being imposed on Athens risk a recession so deep that Greece will not be able to climb out of the debt hole over the course of a new three-year, €170bn bail-out.
It warned that two of the new bail-out's main principles might be self-defeating. Forcing austerity on Greece could cause debt levels to rise by severely weakening the economy while its €200bn debt restructuring could prevent Greece from ever returning to the financial markets by scaring off future private investors.
This is a recipe for endless bailouts, for more money, from the Eurozone. Greece will not have the ability to pay its debts and no other means of borrowing money. And that assumes that this deal WORKS, meaning that there's no overthrow of the government, that a new leadership after elections in April doesn't object to the plan, that creditors don't revolt from the harsh terms of the haircut, etc. And this program only gets more expensive for the Eurozone over time. Even the fairly optimistic "downside scenario" from the confidential report shows that, saying that Greece will need €245 billion in aid.
That's how fiscal transfers work, really. If you want a union with Germany and Greece in it, Germany will have to balance out Greece forever, just as California balances out Mississippi. The difference is that US fiscal transfers are far less visible, and California and Mississippi don't think they're sovereign countries (well, let me speak only for California on that one).
But the Germans were reluctant to agree to even this bailout, and will be more reluctant when it doesn't work and Greece comes a-begging. This problem either gets bigger or is no longer seen as a problem. And somehow, I don't think the richer countries in Europe will continue to accept these transfers. This buys nothing but time, and in the long run it's fiscally stupid, if Greece will eventually leave the euro. As Felix concludes, though, time could be valuable in and of itself:
This deal might well delay catastrophic capital flight from Greece, and give the Europeans more time to work out how to shore up Portugal if and when that happens. Will they make good use of the time that they're buying? I hope so. Because once the Greek domino falls, it's going to take a huge amount of money, statesmanship, and luck to prevent further dominoes from toppling.

Previously, I worked at DocuSign in San Francisco as a lead engineer of a software development team, part of the group that built the New DocuSign Experience.
I was responsible for my team's feature delivery, and for overall system architecture.
Full-stack engineer
I have been programming and building websites since 1996. For the last few years I've specialized in Node.js and the Javascript ecosystem.
I have worked across the full web stack: ops, system architecture, databases and data architecture, backend application development, front-end Javascript, and CSS.
I am passionate about developing high-quality, maintainable, DRY, automatically tested software using cutting-edge technology. I strive to utilize the best of Agile methodology, and to lower the barriers between Dev, Ops, and QA.
From 2010-2012, I ran a development consulting shop called New Leaf Digital, specializing in the Drupal CMS and LAMP stack environments.
I served over thirty clients, with projects including a rebuild of a global news site, site repairs, and improving scalability and performance.
For most of these projects, I served as the lead or sole developer, as well as project manager and sysadmin.
During the same period, I co-founded and operated a startup bringing technology to the antiques industry.

The club of the world's top-selling authors is an exclusive one, with only a few established paths to entry. Many of its members have been in it for decades, like Danielle Steel and Stephen King, who were both born in 1947 and published their first novels, "Going Home" and "Carrie," in 1973. This year, Steel is No. 5 on the list and King is No. 10.
If you're not writing in a genre with mass commercial appeal, you can pretty much forget about making the list. But even if you are, and your books are best sellers, that's still not a guaranteed in.
To really be assured of the millions, you'll want to crank out the titles at a furious pace of five or more a year. That's the not-so-secret secret of mega-authors like James Patterson (No. 2 on our list with $91 million in earnings between June 2012 and June 2013) and Nora Roberts (No. 8, $23 million).
Writing thrillers or romances for adults is good; even better is writing fantasy fiction for young adults that spills over into the adult market. The biggest franchises of the past decade have employed this formula, most recently Suzanne Collins' "The Hunger Games" trilogy. Collins' earnings of $55 million — good for No. 3 on our list — also showed the power of a hit film adaptation, which can launch a book from the earthly best-seller list into the stratosphere.
Then there's "Fifty Shades of Grey."
E.L. James — known to her friends and family as Erika Leonard — didn't follow any of the rules for getting to the top, but she's there all the same, debuting on the 2013 top-earning authors list with an estimated $95 million in earnings. (FORBES bases its estimates on sales data, published figures and information from industry sources between June 2012 and June 2013.)
There's no film version of any of the "Fifty Shades" books, although she did pocket $5 million for an adaptation that's expected in theaters in August 2014. While the plot of the novels was inspired by "Twilight" — indeed, they originated as fan fiction based on Stephenie Meyer's vampire characters — they're certainly not crossover material, unless you think kinky sex belongs in a children's book. And James is no one-woman fiction factory: The three "Fifty Shades" installments are all she's written so far, although she is at work on her next novel (and cited her writing when declining an interview request).
So how did James, a former television executive who lives in the U.K., do it? Simply by selling more copies faster than any other author in history — more than 70 million in the first eight months they were on sale in the U.S.
For the publishing industry, the lesson is clear: The formula isn't everything.
While the big books are bigger than ever thanks to the dynamics of book retailing and the frictionless e-book purchasing environment, the most important ingredients of a blockbuster never change, says Michael Pietsch, CEO of Hachette Book Group. "I think it's the surprise and originality that lead to the giant scale," says Pietsch, whose roster of writers includes Patterson. "That's why there are all these delicious stories of the book that was rejected by 96 publishers – because people are looking at what worked in the past."
Much as the media conglomerates behind HarperCollins, Random House and Simon & Schuster might wish to reduce book publishing to a spreadsheet the way they've done with summer movies, the biggest bombshells will always be the ones they didn't see coming, says publishing analyst Michael Norris of Simba Information.
"When it comes to predicting a single solitary book, there's little science behind it," Norris says. "You can have as much access to this data as you want but there's nothing to quantify luck."

I am very satisfied with this module.
I would appreciate an option to flush to password cache selectively for each group (POP/IMAP and or SMTP)
Also I noticed a problem with the "seen" indicator. This extension interferes with the message "seen" indicator. Most latest messages are displayed as not "seen" whereas they have been seen before.

Bug Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Why addon for FF and TB block windows of FF and TB when I'm working on my comp, but not in FF or TB? I think timer of not activity works wrong - it counts time for not activity of FF or TB, but in right logic it must count time of not activity of all comp - starts on last click of mouse or last key press on keyboard
There is a checkbox "Only if inactive" in "Auto-logout" and "Lock" section of the settings.
Next time please use support website or email to submit bug reports, not review.
Thank you.
Very Dissatisfied Screwed up my computer Rated 1 out of 5 stars
I can't tell you what a mess this add on was to me. I installed it early this morning. I knew soon after it was not for me, but I had already entered a master password. uninstalled. Not many minutes later, maybe 5, i was asked for my master password by that same add on that I had uninstalled. : O It was not in my extensions and I had removed. I kept working on computer. Next thing I know all HECK broke loose. Firefox restarted and said all open tabs were pointing to a site with bad certificates, yellow warnings. I opened IE same thing all sites were not loading, stopped. I have now worked so far 12 HOURS STRAIGHT, backtracking, running about 6 scans, reinstalling IE, notepad, etc, It literally allowed something to attack my system and I was infected at every level. It blocked my previously downloaded malware. I had to go to portable. It messed up my registry.
I say IT because I did nothing else. I did not visit anywhere shady!. I was only on the download extensions/ add ons pages that was it.
This has been a hell of a day. I am sorry for this review but I am also ticked that I missed a whole day and sat here 12 hours. I can't even remember what all I changed, but with a degree in computer science it took me so far 12 hours to recover.
With a computer science degree you blame an extension that aids to built-in master password feature of the browser, the addon that was download from official repository where each addon goes through security checks and other compatibility check by PEOPLE?
Clearly you don't know what you are talking about here and decided to show to the world how clueless you are, instead of first contact the developer. Congrats.
If you read the description of the addon you'd find this:
"Disabling or uninstalling this addon will NOT delete your master password!"
Anyhow, please read this:

It shuld work when addon "minimize to tray" is installedEz az értékelés a kiegészítő előző verziójához készült (22.214.171.124-signed).
It would work if the "minimize to tray" addon worked properly. MinTrayR doesn't give any information when a window minimized to tray or restored, in fact there is no way even trace it at all.
I've already contacted the developer and he seemed to started working on that problem, but it didn't last long...

Don't use it for serious protection Rated 1 out of 5 stars
I have been using this plugin for more over a month now, I was satisfied with tis functionality, but today, I changed my master password, that I generated and saved into my pass manager. Unfortunately, I forgot to save my pass so I couldn't access my Thunderbird. All advices on the web was via error console tu reset the pass, but console is accessable only inside of unlocked Thunderbird.
So an idea came up to my mind and I found the extension files in my appdata folder, where I easily changed one file's path and no popup for password appeared afterwards > I reset my pass via error console.
Yes, and that's exactly what stated in the description.

Very usefull, but... not 100% working, no support anymore. Firefox Team guilty? Rated 3 out of 5 stars
This add-on come to correct bad behavior of Firefox's master password manager. It gives you the possibility to customize it's use accordingly to your own needs.
I noticed that the author does not update the project since more than 1 year yet. I don't expect he will give continuation to it anymore...
It would be very nice, if this project could be forked, and at least the minor issues corrected.
A complaint to Firefox Project Management/Development:
Unfortunately, now-a-days product managers don't care about user needs nor to compatibility with prior versions, they must go for trends.
Developers must rush to build new versions, new features, a bunch of new crap, and aren't able to keep track of backwards compatibility.
Even the hard work of their colleagues, which give their time to build nice add-ons like this one, even this get's disregarded, and as a consequence, add-on functionality turn to be broken.
As a result, add-ons developers can't keep pace with Firefox's "high frequency" versioning, and stop production.
Who is losing in this process?
We, the users, exactly the target public, gets neglected, and loses in this process.

Sure, as long as both sets of wheels/tires have their own set of TPMS sensors installed, the tool will work for both!
Spline or Acorn Lug Nuts? Does anybody have any idea with what lugs to go with on these wheels? I was not sure if one will work or not.Question Resolved Good Question (0) (0)
The lugs in the Ordering Option drop down will be your best bet -- the 6-spline style lugs or the 3/4" lugs. The stock size lug will be too large for these wheels. Hope this helps!

It was going to be between these or the AMRs.. But I went with the gt500 style and couldn't be more happy! They completely change the look of the car especially the view from the back with the staggered wheels. Anyway if your on the line about buying these you need to just buy you won't be disappointed!

Great Look and Performance
These 2013 GT500 style black wheels are very aggressive looking on my deep impact blue 2014 GT. I get complemented on them often and I love the look. The Mickey Thompson tires grip the road in warmer weather much better than stock tires and my quarter-mile time improved by two tenths- and oddly enough my mpg improved by ~2 mpg over first 5K miles with this set-up. They do not seem to have a very good grip in temps below 55F but I may need to let out a little air. They handle very well in rain.The only negative is that the pre-installed weights have come off twice so I have had to get them rebalanced twice. Definitely worth the money, no regrets.

great new look
The wheels and tires came in within 3 days and i was so excited to put em on so my friend and i took the foor stock tires and rims off and had the new ones on in under an hour. Really impressed with how much the rims alone make the paint on my car standout. Thanks American Muscle

Sweet Wheels!
These wheels make my Mustang really stand out now! They are beautiful rims and made me fall in love with my Mustang all over again. I ordered and revived them the same week.

Did it right in my driveway! The only thing that puzzled me was the Pirelli P-Nero Zero All Season tires which I selected for my package appeared to be facing the same way on all 4 wheels... At first I was convinced they had been mounted improperly, however when I brought it to the dealership Ford assured me it was correct... Overall I highly recommend these wheels, they look mean on my mustang and get compliments everywhere I go, literally. The traction is great in the corners and in wet conditions as well. The fitment in the wheel wells is good but I definitely intend to lower the car about an inch and a half to eliminate the wheel gap entirely.. I would recommend buying the lug nuts as well due to the slightly larger size of the factory lugs, which will fit, but will require a very thin walled socket. Thanks AM!

Great looking wheels at a great value!!
LOVE THESE WHEELS!!! They gave me the exact "Blacked Out" look I was going for. The quality and finish on these rims are great. Bought just the wheels and had the stock tires and TPMS switched over. Also purchased the black lug nuts to go along with the wheels to give them the full blackout effect.
Installation Time: Shop Install
Installation Cost: $100-$250

nice looking tired but I think the weight should be better
the tires have arrived on time however 2 of the TPM sensors where broken. of course American Muscle is replacing both of them but but I took two visit to the dealer to find the issue. the wheels are really nice looking but for a little bit more money I'll rather get d TSW wheels which are lighter and better finish also I'm experiencing some vibration on the car which at this point I'm not really sure if the is you are caused by the tire or the retention clips

Today is Monday, April 21, the 111th day of 2014. There are 254 days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On April 21, 1789, John Adams was sworn in as the first vice president of the United States.
Glancing Backward Locally:
25 years ago - 1989
Students at the Troy Senior High School recently selected Francis L. Beeman as Teacher of the Year for the 1988-89 school year.
Students at the Troy Middle School recently learned about the nursing profession at a career day held.
State Sen. Roger Madigan presented a citation to the Troy Area School District football team for the excellence achieved during the 1988 football season.

Jim Hesburgh, Andaste District Activities chairman, selected the Earl Gamble farm outside of Warren Center as the site for the Spring Camporee.
Towanda gymnasts display talent and skill at the annual gym show to nearly a full house recently.

The spring meeting of the Bradford County Parent-Teachers Association was held in the courthouse recently.
A gavel was presented to the Tri-County Council of the American Legion Auxiliary which was made from wood taken from timbers used in the "Queen's House" built in Asylum in 1792.
The seniors of Wyalusing High School, numbering 28 enjoyed a trip to Washington, D.C.
Elsewhere on this date:
In 1980, Rosie Ruiz was the first woman to cross the finish line at the Boston Marathon; however, she was later exposed as a fraud. (Canadian Jacqueline Gareau was named the actual winner of the women's race.)
In 1989, the baseball fantasy "Field of Dreams," starring Kevin Costner, was released by Universal Pictures.
Ten years ago: Five suicide attackers detonated car bombs against police buildings in Basra, Iraq, killing at least 74 people. Mordechai Vanunu walked out of prison, 18 years after exposing Israel's nuclear secrets. Karl Hass, a former Nazi officer convicted for the wartime massacre of 335 Italian civilians, died in a rest home near Rome, where he had been serving a life sentence under house arrest; he was 92. Washington Post columnist Mary McGrory died at age 85.
Five years ago: Calling on Americans to volunteer, President Barack Obama signed a $5.7 billion national service bill tripling the size of the AmeriCorps service program. The sole survivor of a pirate attack on an American cargo ship off the Somali coast was charged as an adult with piracy in federal court in New York. (A prosecutor said Abdiwali Abdiqadir Muse (AHB'-dih-wah-lee AHB'-dih-kah-dir moo-SAY') had given wildly varying ages for himself before finally admitting he was 18. Muse later pleaded guilty to hijacking, kidnapping and hostage-taking and was sentenced to more than 33 years in prison.)
One year ago: On the first Sunday since the deadly Boston Marathon bombing, churches paused to mourn the dead and console the survivors while in West, Texas, residents prayed for comfort four days after a fertilizer plant explosion that killed 14 people. In Britain, the London Marathon sent out a powerful message of solidarity with Boston and its victims as runners crossed the line in front of Buckingham Palace with black ribbons on their chests (Tsegaye Kebede of Ethiopia won the men's race in 2:06:04). Joe Scarborough, a 50-year-old self-employed electrical contractor, rolled the first 900 series in Professional Bowlers Association history - three straight perfect games.

Specialty eBooks Created For Health, Wealth, and Stealth
White Hat Publications, LLC proudly presents:
You are here at the right time and the right place to start a home-based business. if I am correct... you are not making money with your primary company as promised by your up-line sponsor. In fact your sponsor tells you to keep recruiting... and you do, despite your unsuccessful attempts.
You find that your warm market (family and friends) are now "cold" to your "new" business opportunity...but you give one more try...and you manage to "sign" up someone who feels sorry for you (you know your girl friend, boyfriend, or significant other).
You say to yourself "this should be now easy"...but truth be told...it really isn't. You then start "reinventing the wheel" to promote your primary business (e.g. post cards, classified ads in the "business opportunity" section of FREE tabloids... and you even purchase "opportunity seeker" lists. Again, to no avail...In fact, I see this happen all the time for new network marketers...and their sponsor who signed them...who mysteriously vanishes...and you have to "learn" the process by your self to promote your primary business-- even though the ad read "join this business opportunity (your primary business) and "work for yourself but not by yourself" and that the company will do the lead generation for you...
Permit me to introduce myself; my name is Raymond W. Ebbeler, MBA, I am a White Hat Specialist which translates as a "Success-Life Coach" that is honest and has integrity when it comes down to prospecting individuals trough DVD marketing promoting a "infallible marketing system" comprised of 6-7-8 figure income earners that that will automatically recruit through "funded proposals" laser-targeted individuals. By doing Joint Ventures with 6-7-8 figure income earners you gain creditability and establish your branding as a successful Internet marketer.
Affiliate Marketing Business Model
In the area of health is "health informatics" and I have exclusively over 30 years of related experience as a Health and Wellness Strategist as a researcher and health consultant converting the printed word into a "digitized library" that focuses on health and wellness issues. I am a great believer in FREE opportunities, such as the Beck Protocol which is recommended for individuals who want an alternative to allopathic medicine.
As a non-profit, I founded Black Box Energies & Research which was removed involuntarily because of the FDA-AMA-Phamarceutial cartel which would go out of business for my exposing the truth about the cartel. I was working on my Ph.D. in health psychology (Walden University, online) when I was involved in a three-vehicular accident. Having had an out-of-body experience I was able to "see" my body curled in a small ball. As the semi-truck jack knifed and only caught a tip of the van which was stationary, and waiting for the light to change from red to green; the impact propelled me forward into a tractor trailer. The force was enough to project me forward and out of my body. While wearing a should harness, the harness did not snap, which would have been fatal. I justified my shoulder dislocation injury as opposed a neck injury as an act of God. I vowed that he would do everything in my power to help others in any way or form. Therefore, one area of research that focuses on areas where science and technology have been suppressed are now digitized as eBooks which I have personally writte.
An area overlooked in Internet marketing and sales is Internet security and stealth (covert operations). Although, the presence of overt terrorist attacks have been subdued by the patriot act and homeland security; there is little safe guards in place for internet sales and transactions. There is a need for digitized caffeine products that report on covert strategic defense systems repackaged as eBooks to focus on solutions that promote covert and stealth operations: products and services to protect a brick-and-mortar's business and /or an home based business' infrastructure. This mini-web site is a blog for doing product reviews which includes the needed area on Internet stealth. As an eBook publisher, there are over 100,000 eBooks on a myriad of topics to include stealth.

By Douglas J. GillertAmerican Forces Press Service
LACKLAND AIR FORCE BASE, Texas, Dec. 19, 1996 In war, health care providers serve alongside combat troops. They treat not only battlefield wounds but just as likely skin rashes, eye wounds and other environmental maladies.
But where do they learn to treat the kinds of ailments service members are likely to suffer, particularly in tropical climates and Third World nations? For instance, two of the most common threats in the tropics -- malaria and dengue fever -- don't exist in the United States. Before facing such conditions in war, medics need practice in peace.
Thanks to the increasing use of the armed forces as a tool of peace and goodwill, the practice field for military doctors has expanded. Since 1992, Air Force and Army medical staff at the Wilford Hall Medical Center here have treated disease and illness and performed surgery at deployed areas overseas -- just as they would during military operations.
Host nations request medical assistance through the Department of State. The U.S. Southern Command administers the visits and has sent dozens of medical specialty teams to Central and South America to deliver care to indigent populations. There, they treat sickness and train for their wartime mission. Their goodwill efforts also strengthen Western Hemisphere alliances.
Air Force Dr. (Col.) Jose Pascual coordinates the missions and has personally gone on eight. His latest -- to Cuzco, Peru -- was in early December.
Chief of pediatric nephrology (childhood kidney disease) at Wilford Hall, Pascual took with him four pediatricians, four internists (including one with a subspecialty in infectious diseases), a dentist, dental technician and pharmacy technician. In Peru, they visited numerous large and small health centers where they divided into two groups to treat children and adults.
"We usually see about 7,000 patients over a two-week period," Pascual said. "Treatment includes extracting teeth, deworming and medicating children with parasites and, for this trip, immunizing children against measles, German measles and mumps. We also give them multiple vitamins, iron, analgesics and antibiotics."
Other teams include dermatologists, ophthalmologists and other specialists, who treat the wide range of diseases and infections endemic to the poorer populations of tropical countries.
Host nations publicize upcoming visits, Pascual said, drawing people of all ages from long distances. "When we went to Iqitos [deep in the Amazon River rain forest of Peru] in April, patients traveled two to three days by boat to get there, then waited in line from midnight until we opened at 7 in the morning. Many of them had never been to a doctor because they cannot pay. We don't charge anything, although the Peruvian government requires them to pay a little, then picks up the rest of the cost."
In the field, the medical assistance teams work alongside their host nation counterparts. An interpreter assists with communication. For both American and host nation doctors, the visits are learning experiences.
"We both see the patients, discuss the diagnoses and treatment," Pascual said. "Before we leave, we write a treatment history on each patient we saw and leave it with the local doctor for follow-up care."
Most local doctors are general practitioners, Pascual noted. "We bring expertise in medical specialties and subspecialties," he said, "and they are always eager to discuss interesting cases with us."
But the Latin Americans also can teach their northern counterparts a thing or two. "For example, they do not depend on laboratories and diagnostic services as we do," Pascual said. "Many times they have to diagnose by physical examination. So we learn a lot about making quick, correct medical decisions in the field."
The visits also expose the American medics to conditions they don't see in the states. For example, in the Amazon rain forest they saw numerous cases of malaria and dengue fever. "We get to know these conditions, and it is much easier to treat soldiers who contract them when they are deployed to similar environments," Pascual said.
Dermatologists particularly like visiting tropical climates. "Some sort of dermatology expertise is necessary to military operations in tropical climates," said Army Dr. (Lt. Col.) Richard Keller, a staff dermatologist at Wilford Hall. "People in the tropics for any period of time will see significant dermatological problems."
His Wilford Hall colleague, Air Force Dr. (Maj.) Chris Sartori, agrees. "Other than having lead or shrapnel in their bodies, the No. 1 reason soldiers couldn't fight in Vietnam was skin problems," Sartori said. "If you're suffering from jungle rot or trench foot, you can't be walking the point, you can't be doing anything productive. So the expertise we gain from these trips is very useful.
"Tissue infections are extremely common when you're living in an incubator, where the median temperature is 98 degrees," he added.
Also common -- although more a product of sanitation than heat -- are eye problems, particularly eye wounds, which military doctors see a lot of in combat zones.
"Our primary goal for these visits is military readiness training," said Air Force Dr. (Lt. Col.) Wendall Bauman, chief of the eye surgical team for South American outreach. "As the drawdown occurs, we have to take advantage of opportunities to participate in operations other than war, because they provide realistic training."
During trips, Bauman and his team perform up to 90 eye surgeries -- 15 a day. Most are to remove cataracts and restore sight -- operations few of the patients could afford otherwise.
"We screen the patients and treat only those who can most benefit from our efforts," Bauman said. "Similarly, when we deploy in combat, we triage lots of patients and must make quick decisions about who we can and cannot help."
Besides enhancing their skills, the medical aid they provide gives team members a great sense of fulfillment, Bauman said.
"For example, during one trip we removed cataracts from a 62-year-old man," he said. "When we later removed the bandage from his eyes, he began crying uncontrollably and we thought he was in pain. But the interpreter was able to learn he was crying with happiness, because he could see his granddaughter's face for the first time."
Stories like this are frequent and reflect the goodwill the medical assistance teams foster. "Our visits not only affect the patients who get treatment and medication, but also the doctors and, in the long run, I think, the governments," Pascual said. "When you do something as simple and basic as ending the tooth ache someone's had for a month and can't sleep, it's very rewarding."
The trips will continue, at least through fiscal 1997, Pascual said. The visitation schedule includes Guatemala in January, Nicaragua in February, Ecuador in April, El Salvador in June and Brazil sometime later. To a person, the medics who participate in the outreach missions -- and most certainly the people they help -- hope the trips will continue much longer.

Just thought you'd like to know that the Batman Begins teaser trailer is online.
The trailer isn't much to look at, although that's maybe the good news given the godawful spectacles of the last few Batman films. They at least seem to have the right mood for a Batman movie, and that's probably the most important thing.
But what I really like is the fully-announced cast!
Michael Caine as Alfred! Gary Oldman as Lieutenant James Gordon! Liam Neeson as Wayne's mentor, Henri Ducard! Ken Watanabe as Ra's Al Ghul! Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox! Jeez, this sounds like an online fake movie poster where some fanboy populates his superhero movie with A-list movie stars in every role!
