You're a fan of the legendary Epiphone brand, there's no doubt about that. And really, it's hard to blame you. For over 140 years, Epiphone have been an iconic name on the musical landscape, producing guitars, basses, banjos, and more; and when they teamed with Gibson, they solidified a partnership as iconic as Lennon and McCartney or Richards and Jagger. But Epiphone is more than just musical instruments, indeed they are also known for their accessories, particularly their cases, which can help to assure you that your instrument stays safe whether you're headed to a gig, or just putting it back into storage after your most recent jam session.
Epiphone's cases and accessories come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, so you shouldn't have any issues finding exactly what you need in this section. If you're not entirely sure what you need, why not start by taking a look at some of our best sellers? For example, the Les Paul Hardshell Case is perfect for any rock and roller that is looking to protect their axe from the rigors of the road. This case is plush-lined with a hardshell that serves as a shock absorber for any bumps along the way. No doubt about it, this case will keep your Les Paul in the condition it always deserves to be in.
Of course, if you don't play the guitar, Epiphone still has the accessories that are perfect for you. If the banjo is more your thing, check out the EH60 Hardshell Banjo Case. If you're a mandolin fan, you'll find a lot to love about the ED20 Mandolin Case. Maybe the bass is more your scene? Check out the Epiphone Bass Gig Bag. Regardless of the choice you make, you'll be happy with the results.

Fun with Frightful FontsFriday, October 14th, 2011
I had coffee with a two blog friends yesterday who live in my town (Cathe and Elise) and we got to talking about some holiday creations we're planning with fonts (stay tuned for some magic!) but then that got me thinking about how much fun it really is to play around with different fonts on the computer.
My graphic design skills are limited, but I do love to play around with all sorts of different fonts and create simple cards, printables, or labels. Halloween is one of those holidays when it's especially fun to combine images and fonts together, and last year I made beverage labels using the free software from Picasa, here's a look back.
I created several kid friendly beverage labels including juice box labels …
soda and large juice bottle labels…
… and three different water bottle labels too (only one shown).

LINCOLN – If you missed the first 30 seconds of Tuesday night's Division II girls' soccer clash between Lincoln and Warwick Vets, you missed a lot.
Electing to establish tempo on the game's initial touch, the Lions quickly penetrated deep into the Hurricanes' zone before one of their scoring stars took over. Senior Hailee Jarry succeeded in turning the corner and getting past a Warwick Vets defender before rifling a shot from the top of the 18-yard box that goalie Katelen Pick had little chance of stopping.
Jarry's mighty poke proved to be the difference as Lincoln went on to post a 1-0 victory on what was "Senior Night" at Chet Nichols Field. The Lions will carry and 11-0-2 league mark into Thursday's regular-season finale at Westerly. A win over the Bulldogs would enable head coach Chris Allen and his players to officially clinch the division title and the No. 1 seed in the upcoming Division II playoffs.
"It definitely keeps them motivated," said Allen when asked about having something significant to play for come Thursday. "We really don't talk seeds or rankings at this point. We just look at each game one at a time. We've got one game left and whatever happens after that, we'll move forward. But we've played a good season so far."
Allen agreed when it was suggested that his Lions are more than capable of playing in the type of white-knuckle affair that played out against the Hurricanes, who fall to 9-4. Tuesday saw Lincoln post its eighth shutout against league foes.
"It's not just our defense. Our offense is more than capable of sustaining pressure, which allows our defense to work from the back," the Lincoln mentor explained. "In a couple of games that have been close, our offense has stepped up and been able to keep the pressure on the opponent."
A chess match ensued after Jarry's goal as both teams continued to trade opportunities and shots. The two goalies ended up making a combined 32 saves with 20 belonging to Pick while Lincoln's Lauren Hervieux made 12 stops.
"We've got a nice spread offense, which has helped us to be as successful as we are," Allen pointed out. "(Warwick Vets) played a nice, physical game in the back and made our offense have to work for it. We got some shots in the end, but that's how the ball bounces."
Lincoln's defense was put to the test multiple times inside the final 10 minutes. A corner kick by Warwick's Sloan Kinney with 9:30 remaining bounced around the cage for a couple of anxious moments before Lincoln junior Delaney Maxell batted the ball out of harm's way and toward midfield.
Roughly a minute later, the Hurricanes' Meredith Walsh got off a shot that wobbled around before Hervieux stepped to the forefront and corralled the live ball. Lincoln junior Faithe Hernandez also deserves credit for the way she marked the opponent's top threats.
"Faithe is a very strong defender. So is (sophomore) Lauren Christo," said Allen. "A lot of heads-up play back there. They didn't caught sleeping and were able to distribute the ball out."

Baseball Explodes for 29 Combined Runs in Sweep of Georgetown
OMAHA, Neb. -- Sophomore Reagan Fowler drove in eight and went 7-for-8 with six runs scored to pace Creighton Baseball to a doubleheader sweep of visiting Georgetown on Saturday, winning by scores of 13-4 and 16-5 on Saturday, April 12.
With the wins, Creighton improves to 18-11-1 this season and is a perfect 3-0 after its first BIG EAST Conference series in program history. Georgetown is now 12-20 overall and winless in six BIG EAST games.
Creighton pounded out 28 hits in the doubleheader win, including 11 for extra bases. The Bluejays had six doubles in the opener before adding two doubles, a triple and two homers in the nightcap.
GAME 1: Creighton 13, Georgetown 4
Fowler set the tone for the day in the first inning of the opener, slicing a two-run into left field. Creighton added a run in the second on a sacrifice fly by senior Jerry Mitchell and put the game away in the fifth with four more runs.
With runners at second and third and one down in the fourth, Georgetown intentionally walked senior Mike Gerber to bring Fowler to the plate. The Bluejay first baseman made the Hoyas pay with a three-run double to right-center to push Creighton up 7-1.
Creighton tacked on two runs in the seventh and four more in the eighth. Starting pitcher Taylor Elman moved to 2-3 on the season, tossing a career-high seven innings for the win.
GAME 2: Creighton 16, Georgetown 5
The second game of the twinbill featured the first inside-the-park home run in TD Ameritrade Park Omaha history, a shot to centerfield by sophomore Ryan Fitzgerald that eluded the glove of a diving Beau Holland and rolled all the way to the wall.
Fowler opened game two just as he had in the first contest, driving home two in the first inning. This time Fowler blasted a triple to right-center then came in to score on an RBI single from Brett Murray.
Creighton added a run in the second and two more in the third, but Georgetown closed to within a run with three in the third and two more in the top of the sixth.
The Bluejays salted the game away, however, with seven runs in the bottom of the sixth including Fitzgerald's blast which capped the inning to give Creighton a 13-5 edge.
Senior Ben Lahn added a three-run home run in the seventh for good measure as Creighton's 16 runs and 16 hits in the second game tied a pair of park records for runs in a single contest, while its six hit batsmen established a new mark as well.
Sophomore Will Bamesberger earned the win in the second game with 1.1 innings of scoreless relief to move to 2-0 on the season.
The Bluejays return to action on Thursday, April 17 as Creighton faces Villanova in its first BIG EAST game on the road at 2:15 pm (CT).

For the millions of people with food allergies, there is good news regarding food labeling: the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) now requires food labels to clearly state if food products contain any ingredients that are from any of the eight major allergenic foods.
The U.S. Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act requires food manufacturers to identify in plain English any ingredients that contain protein from the following:
The labeling will list these ingredients specifically or say "contains" followed by the name of the source of the food allergen.
These eight major food allergens account for nearly 90% of all food allergy reactions, many of which are severe or life-threatening.
Kids and Food Allergies
This labeling will be helpful to children who need to recognize food substances to avoid. For example, if a food contains the milk-derived protein "casein," the product label will have to use the term "milk" (as well as the term "casein") so people with milk allergies can clearly understand the presence of the allergen they need to avoid.
Prevalence estimates show that 2% of adults and about 5% of children in the U.S. have food allergies. About 30,000 people require emergency room treatment annually -- and nearly 200 of them die -- because of allergic reactions to food.

From Our Vaults To Your Living Room
Our preserved films from the vaults are making their way to your living room, as several titles have been released this year on Blu-ray and DVD. While it's exciting to know there are 30,000 motion pictures safely housed here at Eastman House, it's also exciting when they are shared with the world.
The latest home-video release is Lonesome, the 1928 buried treasure from Hollywood's Golden Age, set in Coney Island over the Fourth of July weekend.
Lonesome is on the big screen tonight at the Andy Warhol Museum and our film preservation officer, Anthony L'Abbate, is in Pittsburgh to introduce the film, a pioneer in early color and talking sequences, made by little-known but audacious filmmaker Paul Fejos. The screening is part of the Warhol museum's "Unseen Treasures from the George Eastman House" annual series.
In the spring, New York Post, Los Angeles Times, and many other national publications were buzzing about the release of the David O. Selznick Collection on Blu-ray and DVD. The set features high-definition digital transfers from the Selznick estate/personal collection preserved in the vaults at Eastman House. The titles are Farewell to Arms (1932), Bird of Paradise (1932), Little Lord Fauntleroy (1936), Nothing Sacred (1937), A Star Is Born (1937), and Made for Each Other (1939).
This fall, the Eastman House collection further adds to your entertainment releasing The Wedding of Palo (1934) and The Penalty (1920), a horror film starring Lon Chaney.
Lonesome is available now at the Eastman House gift shop or at criterion.com All other releases available at kinolorber.

Comparison of Cortisol Pump With Standard Treatment for Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
- Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a genetic disorder of the adrenal gland. The adrenal gland is located in the abdomen and produces small amounts of hormones such as cortisol, aldosterone, and androgen. These hormones help control blood pressure, protect the body, and maintain good health, especially during development. People with CAH do not make enough cortisol and aldosterone, and make too much androgen. This can lead to serious medical problems. The standard treatment is to take pills that mimic the effects of cortisol and aldosterone. However, treatment with pills can have long-term side effects because of the higher doses needed, and may not work well for some people.
- A possible new treatment for CAH is to use a pump to deliver cortisol under the skin. Similar pumps are often used to give insulin to people with diabetes. Researchers think that a cortisol pump might be able to help the body use the cortisol more effectively than taking pills. They want to compare the results of a cortisol pump and standard pill treatments for CAH.
- To compare the effectiveness of a cortisol pump with standard cortisol pill therapy for CAH.
- Men and women at least 18 years of age who have CAH (see more details in Eligibility section below).
- This study will involve four inpatient hospital stays at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, MD over 6 months (spaced 2 months apart). The first and last stays will last about 5 days. The second and third stays will last about 3 days.
- Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood and urine samples will be collected.
- At the first study visit, participants will provide regular blood and urine samples. They will also have imaging studies. These studies will look at the bones, fat, and muscles in the abdomen and pelvis.
- Participants will receive a cortisol pump during the first visit. They will be shown how to use the pump. They will also learn what to do, if they need to take extra "stress dose" cortisol pills.
- At the second and third visits, the cortisol dose given with the pump will be adjusted as needed. Blood and urine samples will also be collected. No imaging studies are scheduled for these visits.
- The last study visit will have the same tests as the first visit. Participants will be offered the chance to continue with the pump treatment for 1 more year, or go back to their standard pill treatment.

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a common genetic endocrine disorder, with 21-hydroxylase enzyme deficiency accounting for 95% of the cases. 21-hydroxylase deficiency presents with a spectrum of clinical manifestations ranging from salt-wasting and virilization of female neonates (classic CAH) to symptomatic (precocious puberty, short stature, acne) or asymptomatic hyperandrogenemia (non-classic CAH). Classic CAH is characterized by impaired cortisol and mineralocorticoid biosynthesis, which triggers adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) hyper-secretion and accumulation of adrenal androgens. Glucocorticoid treatment of patients with classic CAH focuses on cortisol replacement and prevention of the ACTH-driven androgen excess. Current conventional glucocorticoid treatment regimens (short or long-acting agents dosed once, twice or thrice daily) have failed to simulate physiological cortisol secretion and suppress adrenal androgen overproduction, without supraphysiologic replacement. Short-term overtreatment with glucocorticoids can lead to iatrogenic Cushing syndrome and long-term use has been associated with the development of obesity, visceral adiposity, insulin resistance and osteoporosis. Isolated case reports have provided evidence that continuous subcutaneous hydrocortisone infusion (CSHI) can mimic physiologic cortisol release and lead to improved CAH control at doses similar to or lower than the traditional treatment. This pilot study aims to test the hypothesis that difficult-to-treat adult patients with classic CAH will have better adrenal androgen control and improved CAH and glucocorticoid-related comorbidities, when they receive near-physiologic cortisol replacement therapy via CSHI compared to conventional glucocorticoid treatment. In addition, this study will provide information on the safety and tolerability of CSHI, and will generate data that will be used in the design of future pediatric studies.

Dream Smooth Mousse Foundation
Like most of Maybelline's Dream Mousse products, this addition to their growing collection is outstanding.
Color Sensational High Shine Gloss
This lightly scented lip gloss scores high for a number of reasons, including its lightweight, creamy-smooth texture.
Add to Faves?
Maybelline New York At-A-Glance
Strengths: At least one excellent product (if not several) in almost every category; many excellent foundations; superior mascaras; inexpensive makeup brushes; some terrific concealers, powders, blush, and lip color options.
Weaknesses: Lips balms tend to be a letdown; a few of the Great Lash mascaras are surprisingly average compared to other Maybelline formulas.
Maybelline is one of the best-known and most recognized mass-market makeup lines in the world—it's available in 90 countries. Throughout its long history, which began in 1915 when T. L. Wilson founded the company and named it after his sister, Mabel, and Vaseline (which he combined with coal dust to concoct a mascara for her), the company has prided itself on bringing innovative products to the marketplace. L'Oreal purchased the company in early 1996, and that's when things really started coming together for the Maybelline brand.
Specializing in a large selection of lipsticks, nail polishes, and mascaras, there is a lot to love from this drugstore brand. Many of their foundations are exceptional, and their powders, several mascaras, pencils, matte-finish concealers, and Superstay Lipcolor collection impressed us by offering a high degree of quality for their inexpensive price point.
Maybelline's latest urban image is a positive step, as many of their latest launches have been innovative without resorting to "been-there, done-that" gimmicks. Smart shoppers will note the similarities of a few of Maybelline's formulas to products from high-end brands that are also owned by parent company L'Oreal. That just goes to show conscientious shopping can really save you money—without sacrificing quality or performance.

Construction has wrapped up and Gary Prazen's statue of Kokopelli officially came to rest on Price's Main Street on Nov. 11.
However, the addition of the hunched-over flute player to the 100 West and Main intersection has left many area residents wondering why he has danced his way into Carbon County.
There are multiple interpretations of the Kokopelli legend. According to Kokopelli.com, the famous Native American figure has been attributed as a healer, a story teller, a prankster and even a god of fertility.
"Kokopelli embodies the true American southwest and dates back over 3,000 years ago, when the first petroglyphs were carved. Although his true origins are unknown, this traveling, flute-playing Casanova is a sacred figure to many southwestern Native Americans," stated the Internet organization. "Carvings of this hunch-backed flute-playing figure have been found painted and carved into rock walls and boulders throughout the southwest."
One legend has it that Kokopelli's flute changed the winter season to spring, melting the snow and bringing around the rain for a successful harvest. When he visited a village, everyone would sing and dance through the night to the tune of his flute. The next morning every maiden in the village would be with child. It is also assumed that the hunch on his back depicted the sacks of seeds and songs he carried, pointed out Kokopelli.com.
But, according to Prazen, modern science has indicated that the hump on Kokopelli's back could have been because he was afflicted by tuberculosis. The infectious disease of the lungs has been known to cause a humped back in people inflicted.
In Prazen's sculpture of the mystical figure, though, the artist said he chose a more flattering representation of the alleged fertility god.
"I have chosen to portray Kokopelli idealistically as a handsome young man with a slightly humped back. A wander, a teacher of flutes and their music, a dancer and a womanizing rascal, a concept that most would like to relate to," he commented.
To add credibility to the concept of Kokopelli being a flute player, Prazen consulted local flute maker Elias Perez. Perez, who is also an authority on ancient Indian flutes, indicated that Kokopelli is usually portrayed playing straight or horn type flutes, not common with the American Indian flutes which generally has a rising reed near the mouth end of the flute.
The straight and horn type flutes were more common with the southern Mexico and South American Indians. The locations of Kokopelli art, though, do no conflict with this idea.
"As an artist, I have been captivated by the legend and have done many variations of Kokopelli. I will probably do a lot more," concluded Prazen.
The statue, which was purchased by the Restaurant Tax Commission, is part of an effort to bring more attention to downtown Price, according to Price Mayor Joe Piccolo.
"I think it's a beautiful piece of art and it makes a very positive statement in our community about how we feel about art and our ancestors," he commented.
Piccolo said he hopes that the statue will get people to stop and look at the downtown businesses and sights, as well as be a positive way to slow traffic down on the main thoroughfare.
The intersection where the statue resides has become a four way stop, rather than running on its old stop light system. Piccolo said he expects the change to actually increase the effectiveness of the intersection while still keeping motorists safe near the statue's pedestal.
After the winter months, Price City will plant some native grasses and vegetation in the planters around the statue, pointed out Piccolo. Lighting will also be added to the underside of the statue, illuminating Kokopelli without the distracting effects of a spotlight. If the statue does not work at its current location, other places of interest in the city will be considered.
So, for the wandering Kokopelli, Price City has created a home on 100 West and Main Street. Time will tell if the magic that surrounds the Native American symbol will rub off on its residents and the remainder of the Carbon County community.

If you're wondering just how affordable healthcare will be under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), consider this: Maryland's largest insurer just proposed, on average, a 25-percent rate hike for individuals next year, with much of that increase directly attributable to the ACA's mandates.
CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, which insures about 70 percent of Marylanders who buy insurance on the individual market — 120,000 people — submitted its proposed rates to the Maryland Insurance Administration. The agency then posted the proposals on its website as required for those carriers seeking to sell coverage on the state's insurance exchange. (Maryland is one of 24 states plus the District of Columbia that have opted to set up their own exchanges, either alone or in partnership with the federal government.)
The huge premium increase — CareFirst's rates have risen about seven to 10 percent annually in recent years — "is the practical result of opening the pool to everyone," CareFirst CEO Chet Burrell told the Baltimore Business Journal. That is, by forcing insurers to accept all comers and charge them the same rates regardless of pre-existing conditions, ObamaCare has vastly increased insurers' liability, and the only way for them to remain solvent under such conditions is to charge their customers significantly higher rates.
Not all CareFirst customers will be affected equally. The 60 percent whose plans aren't changing next year will experience smaller increases because they will be exempt from some of the ACA's requirements; but as soon as their plans do change, these people can expect to see their rates skyrocket, too.
Customers who have been paying low premiums because they are healthy can expect to pay much more in order to foot the bill for the benefits the newly insured sick will begin collecting. Those who have purchased relatively inexpensive catastrophic plans with high deductibles will also see significant increases because ObamaCare essentially outlaws such plans by mandating a wide variety of benefits.
The biggest determining factor in how much one's premiums rise may be age. The ACA requires insurers to charge their oldest customers no more than three times as much as their youngest ones. Since insurers end up spending about six times as much on each old person as on each young person, this can mean only one thing: Rates on the young are going to go through the roof. CareFirst is estimating that older individuals may experience slight decreases in their premiums next year but that younger ones could find themselves paying as much as 150 percent more.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Concerns about the so-called fiscal cliff sank consumers' expectations for the U.S. economy in the short term, sending overall confidence levels lower in December, according to data released Thursday.
The Conference Board said its consumer-confidence index declined in December, as a sub-gauge on expectations plunged to 66.5 — the lowest reading since November 2011 — from 80.9 a month earlier.
"A similar decline in expectations was experienced in August 2011 during the debt-ceiling discussions," said Lynn Franco, director of economic indicators at the Conference Board.
The reading on overall consumer confidence fell to 65.1 in December — the lowest level since August — from a downwardly revised 71.5 in November. The prior November estimate was 73.7.
The decline in the overall confidence reading was tempered by a gain consumers' views on the present situation: This gauge rose to 62.8 from 57.4.
Tampa, Charlotte among gainers.
• U.S. homeownership at 18-year low
"While consumers are quite negative about the short-term outlook, they are more upbeat than last month about current business and labor market conditions," Franco said.
Economists polled by MarketWatch had expected a December reading of 70, with concerns about the fiscal cliff and looming tax hikes outweighing positive news on the jobs front. See economic calendar.
Thursday's Conference Board report echoes a separate reading on consumers that showed the University of Michigan-Thomson Reuters sentiment gauge falling in December to the lowest level since July, as a barometer of expectations plunged. Read more.
Consumers' spending plans take a hit
The protracted fiscal-cliff negotiations are taking a toll on consumers, more than offsetting enthusiasm over an economy that is adding jobs. Recent data on retail sales indicate that it's been a disappointing holiday season. Read more about slow retail sales.
"This is a bad report, since December is an important month for retailers," said Chris Christopher Jr., senior principal economist at IHS Global Insight, of the Conference Board data.
"With more Americans worried about what is in store for them around the corner, they are prone to be more cautious on the spending front. To sum up — the fiscal cliff is the Grinch that stole consumer cheer this year. Bad timing, indeed," he said.
According to the Conference Board, the percentage of consumer respondents with plans to buy a home within six months declined to 4.8% in December from 6.6% in November. That 1.8-point drop is the largest monthly decline since comparable data started in November 2010. However, other data released Thursday indicate that sales of new homes rose 4.4% in November to the highest level in two and a half years. Read more about the rise in new home sales.

OGDENSBURG The unions representing the Police Departments lieutenants, sergeants and road patrolmen have 2012-13 contracts that, although settled recently, will expire at the end of this year.
Both relatively new agreements expire in eight months, and city officials could find themselves negotiating the next round of contracts as soon as this summer.
The Police Supervisory Unit that represents the departments two lieutenants and five sergeants settled its agreement last month. According to its terms, the lieutenants salaries retroactively increased 4.4 percent for 2012 and rose by 3.7 percent this year.
The sergeants salaries, meanwhile, rose retroactively by 4.49 percent for 2012 and are up by 3.82 percent this year.
The departments 20 patrol officers represented by the Police Benevolent Association received a 2.75 percent salary hike. Their agreement was reached in December.
The new contracts pay increases are significant for the sergeants because it raises their salaries further above a highest-paid patrolmans base pay.
Before 2012, according to City Manager John M. Pinkerton, the 2.75 percent raise for patrolmen negotiated by the PBA thinned the salary gap between the uniformed officers and their supervising sergeants. That discouraged patrolmen from taking exams to become sergeants and, in some cases, prompted them to seek employment elsewhere.
Five patrolmen in two years went to the Massena Police Department and the St. Lawrence County Sheriffs Department, according to Chief Richard J. Polniak Jr.
We had to fix that problem, Mr. Pinkerton said.
In the new contract for the sergeants, the 4.49 percent salary increase for 2012 takes their pay to $56,170, which is 7 percent above the top patrolmans base pay of $52,495.
For this year, the salary is $58,254, which is 8 percent above the $53,939 top patrolmans pay.
Mr. Pinkerton said the supervisory salary increases cost the police department $19,000. The cost to the city for the PBAs agreement was unavailable.

Albany Medical Center is the region's only NYS-designated Alzheimer's Disease Assistance Center.
Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia. Early symptoms typically involve memory impairment for newly acquired information such as misplacing objects, followed by slowly progressive difficulties with language such as word-finding difficulties. As the disease progresses, there are often problems with reasoning and decision-making.
From diagnosis, treatment, cutting-edge research and ongoing information and support, The Alzheimer's Center of the Neurosciences Institute at Albany Med has a specialized team providing comprehensive and compassionate care to individuals and caregivers living with memory problems, Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases.
You can also make a donation to support the services provided by The Alzheimer's Center of the Neurosciences Institute at Albany Med.
|Dr. Earl Zimmerman, professor of neurology and director of the Alzheimer's Center at Albany Med discusses the unique "family focused" care the Alzheimer's Center provides.
In July 2011, the state Department of Health designated The Alzheimer's Center as the Capital Region's Alzheimer's Disease Assistance Center (ADAC). This designation allowed the center to expand its current diagnostic services, care management programs and educational outreach. Albany Med is one of only nine ADACs in New York.
While there is no single, comprehensive test for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease, our neurologists perform examinations and evaluations to determine a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease - in addition to a complete medical history and physical examination. We also offer a comprehensive range of support services to assist patients and families who are dealing with the effects of neurological memory disorders caused by age-related dementias.

The Utah Highway Patrol reported that the flames apparently ignited near the wheels of the trailer and spread through the rest of the vehicle. UHP troopers indicated that, at first, the driver of the truck pulling the trailer eastbound on U.S. Highway 6 was purportedly unaware of the problem until being flagged down by another motorist. Firefighters responded from Helper with two trucks to battle the flame. The highway was temporarily shut down at the scene until the flames engulfing trailer could be extinguished. The trailer is considered a total loss.

Comments about Patagonia Stretch Wavefarer Board Shorts (Men's) New:
I've owned several pairs of these shorts and Patagonia continues to improve an already excellent board short each year. They are light enough and stiched right not to chafe while sitting on your board, yet very durable, dry instantly and are robust enough to wear as a regualar shorts. They are also great for workouts since they are not too long and the cut gives enough room to move freely.

Re: Crankshaft Balancing
Sidewinder wrote:When I run my U the first year it was running smooth only on low rpm. I seamed to pull happily up hills in high gear and low rpm. In highway-speeds it was not smooth. The vibrations where so bad that my boots kept sliding of the footboards. The two front tubes actually cracket above the sidecar loops under previous ownership. And I kept loosing nuts and bolts. The balance factor was lower than 50% with aftermarket pistons (cant remember the exact figure anymore).
During rebuild the flywheels where rebalanced to 55%. No change in cylinder/top end/cams during rebuild. The motor now runs smooth at any rpm you dare to take her to. Maybe a litle bit less smooth at very low rpm than the previous setup. And I have not retightened a singel nut in 10 seasons now (and no nylock or tread locker anywhere).
This is my experience, not a scientific evaluation. Might be some factor I have not taken in concideration. But I think it is safe to say that the higher balance factor had no bad effects on my motor.
My contention is that the bad vibrations that were shaking your chassis apart were "mechanical" and not a balancing issue, such as the flywheels loosing their trueness. The vibrations came out in the wash of the rebuild, and I suspect that it would have even without the re-balancing.
Even if the aftermarket pistons were forged, the added weight lowers the factor perhaps a couple of percentage points at most.

French doors and broad windows are made even more extravagant with extra wide curtains. These window treatments will enhance the beauty of a large window without appearing sparse. On the contrary, the ample fabric supplied by wide width curtains will bunch into a sumptuous gather on both sides of your window. Simply draw your panels shut for instant relief from a busy road or a bright streetlight.
Now imagine your curtains sweeping to either side, unveiling the scenery beyond your window. Curtains with grommet rings or tab tops make for ease of movement on your curtain rod. If your French doors are constantly swinging on their hinges, a grommet or tab top window treatment is a must. Just part your curtains without a second thought and invite in guests or usher out the dog. You can also browse our sliding door curtains for wide window treatments that move to one side, putting your courtyard or garden on full display.
Curtains for wide windows may also have room darkening or thermal qualities. However breathtaking the view may be, larger windows and French doors are notorious for permitting light, heat and cold air into the home. Reduce the blinding effect of that westward-facing window with room darkening curtains; insulate panes from summer heat and winter freeze with a thermal wide window treatment. Finally, our sliding glass door curtains with thermal or light-blocking properties are ideal for your patio doors.
Whether you're enhancing a window or a double French door, curtains should contribute in some part to the surrounding space. Balance out an area with bold patterns or pigments using a solid color window treatment. Enliven an understated room with an elaborate print or a splashy color scheme. If your window is particularly wide, furnish it with four curtain panels, then cinch the two in the center with one decorative tieback. This exerts a palatial and polished look on the entire room. Our patio door curtains, on the other hand, look casual and low-key with grommet rings and tab tops.
Extra wide curtain panels bring a fullness to your windows and French doors that can't be realized with bare panes and stark glass. Tone back that wide-eyed look and turn up the style on your windows with these wide window curtains.
