Hysterectomy is the surgical term for the removal of the uterus (womb). This results in the inability to become pregnant.
There are different types of surgeries, such as:
You may have a hysterectomy if your uterus is causing health problems that cannot be treated by other means. Some reasons a woman may have a hysterectomy are to:
Explore your options before having a hysterectomy. There are other treatments for many of these problems.
If you are planning to have hysterectomy, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications such as:
The following may also increase the risk of complications:
Your doctor may do the following:
You should do the following:
General anesthesia
will be used. You will be asleep during the surgery.

You may be given antibiotics just before your surgery.
Laparoscopic procedures are minimally invasive. This means that small incisions are made, rather than the large incisions that are used during open surgery.
During this procedure, small incisions will be made in the area of your navel and hip bone. A laparoscope (a small instrument with a camera on one end) will be inserted through one of the incisions. The instrument will allow your pelvic organs to be viewed on a monitor. Other instruments will also be inserted to do the surgery. Next, the uterus will be detached from the cervix. A tool will be used to break down the uterus into smaller pieces. This tissue will be removed through the small incisions.
Similar to the above surgery, small incisions will be made in the abdominal area and tools will be inserted. Incisions will be made in the vagina to help detach the lower portion of the cervix and the uterus. The cervix and uterus will then be removed through the vaginal opening.
A hysterectomy can also be done using robotic technology. Like the laparoscopic procedures, tools are placed through small incisions in the abdominal area. The doctor, though, sits at a console and views the organs via a monitor that displays a 3D image. The surgery is done using a joystick-like device to control the tools.
You will be given IV fluids and medications.
1-3 hours
You will not have pain during the surgery because of the anesthesia. During your recovery time, you will be given pain medication.
You may be able to leave the hospital on the same day or the next day. You will stay longer if you have complications.
While you are recovering at the hospital, you may receive the following care:
During your stay, the hospital staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection such as:
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chances of infection such as:
When at home, take these steps to care for yourself:
If the doctor has not removed your cervix, you will need to continue to have
Pap smears
to check for cervical cancer.
After you leave the hospital, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
In case of an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

A sea level Golden Horseshoe nominee*
This is referenced to an actual report from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology about the "South Pacific Sea Level and Climate Monitoring Project" (SPSLCMP), dated November 2006. Now we are getting somewhere!
There are some obvious signs of confusion in the Gray/Cameron statements. Firstly, the Australian National Tidal Facility (which installed and monitored the tide gauges starting in 1991) used to be managed by Flinders University in Adelaide – but the facility was transferred to the National Tidal Centre run by the Bureau of Meteorology … in 2003!
Second, the SPSLCMP has been rolled out in stages starting in 1991: the third stage terminating in Dec 2005 – and they are now in stage IV. This might be the source of Gray's claim that the project had been abandoned, though even the report he cited clearly states that the phase IV was started in January 2006 and was slated to continue at least another 5 years (at that time). The 'last 16 years' is a clue that the Cameron statement was obviously written in 2007 not 2012.
Finally, annual reports from SPSLCMP are available through to June 2011 – indicating a project that is very much ongoing and one that was not 'abandoned' before 2007.
So none of the statements that Gray (and Cameron) made about the project itself were true (either in 2007 or in 2012). But what about the sea level trends?
This is even odder. The report Gray cites states clearly that relative sea level trends (1992/3/4 to 2006) at all stations were positive (2.7 to 8.1 mm/year for the 11 of the 12 stations with long enough records). The 12th station at FSM was only installed in 2001 and the trends were very noisy (though positive). The Jun 2006 SPSLCMP report goes further and applies corrections for platform movement and the inverted barometer effect, concluding that trends ranged from 1.7 to 7 mm/year at the 11 longer stations. Note that these trends may include a component of subsidence/uplift of the islands themselves and so are the numbers most relevant for local planning (not eustatic sea level change). But so much for not finding a trend!
As one would expect, monitoring has continued since 2007, and in the latest report (June 2011), the 11-station trends range from 2.8 to 7.7 mm/year (and +17.0 mm/year at the FSM station). The monthly data series are available here for people to check for themselves. Comparisons with the satellite altimeter records show a reasonable coherence since the West Pacific sea level has risen faster than the global mean (at least partially related to the number of recent La Niña events).
Trends using all data up to June 2011.
Roughly comparable trends (1991-2012) using the satellite altimeter record.

Though monograms were once a preppy mainstay, they've since evolved into a high-fashion accent adorning everything from skinny jeans to leather belts. Don't get us wrong--monograms still evoke summers in the Hamptons and East Coast prep schools--but they're far more versatile than you think! Whether you choose a personalized monogram or wear a designer's logo version, these classic symbols can be elegant or whimsical, but they're always exceptionally chic, so read on to see why we're spotlighting them as a Current Classic!On The Street & Runway
No matter what your style is, you can adapt monograms into your look--just take a peek at Stella McCartney's Pre-Fall 12 collection and Rihanna's recent ensemble. The former's Carter Top ($1485, 212.255.1556) and Carroll Skirt ($1595, 212.255.1556) was a play in contrasts: a demure silhouette swathed in quirky monograms gave off a polished-meets-playful vibe. Rihanna, on the other hand, rocked a statement-making outfit in Los Angeles last month in an eyelet letterman coat with Converse sneakers. Want your own monogrammed must-have? Keep on reading to see the selection we curated for today's story!
On The Market
1. Mother The Looker Jeans ($275, 323.651.4129) in Les Baladins Du Nouveau Monde
Denim favorite Mother reworked their popular Looker jeans in a fun, whimsical print. We suggest playing off the colorful motif with a bright tank top or sweater.
2. Juicy Couture Striped Velour Pullover ($139)
Juicy Couture combines two preppy elements--stripes and a logo monogram--in one laid-back sweater. Slip it on with your favorite lived-in jeans for a lazy Sunday afternoon style.
3. Ariel Gordon Slim Signet Bangle ($340)
Elegant and understated, Ariel Gordon's personalized bracelet is the perfect gift for a dear friend (or yourself--we'll never tell!). For those who prefer gold jewelry, you're in luck! The delicate bangle also comes in yellow or rose gold.
4. Clare Vivier 3 Stripe Flat Clutch ($184, 323.665.2476)
Clare Vivier's rectangular pouch--monogrammed upon request--comes in a versatile mix of colors. We'd wear it with a crisp oxford shirt tucked into skinny jeans for a preppy, on-the-go look.
5. Tommy Hilfiger Gold Plated TH Signet Ring ($75)
Remember when a guy would give you his class ring to signify the two of you were dating? Now you can get your own with Tommy Hilfiger's bold signet ring, though it's likely this rendition is a tad more current and sophisticated!
6. J. Crew Vintage Pajama Set ($85) in Hydrangea
For a while now, J. Crew's offered monogramming for an additional fee on a selection of its sweaters, chambray shirts, and even swimsuits. Now you can personalize their classic menswear-inspired pajamas for a sleepwear set that will never go out of style!
7. Stubbs & Wootton HYC Slippers ($400)
These embroidered velvet slippers look comfortable enough for at-home lounging, but don't be shy to wear them on the street! Just team them with cropped pants and a sharp blazer for a perfectly polished ensemble.
8. Jil Sander Appliqued Cotton Sweatshirt ($440)
This is no ordinary sweatshirt! Jil Sander's slightly shrunken jumper gets the varsity treatment with contrasting orange terry letters. Temper its casual collegiate feel with trousers and pointy-toe pumps.
9. Fendi 2jours Bag ($2260, 212.759.4646) in Red
Fendi's structured satchel--in fall's must-have bordeaux shade--lends your outfit a pop of color. You can even request monogramming on the attached luggage tag for a truly original touch!
10. C Wonder Reversible Belt Strap ($58) in Navy
You get two belts in one with C Wonder's reversible strap--one side is smooth leather, while the other's a croc-embossed pattern. Show off the initial of your choice by slipping on a buckle, which is sold separately.--Tiffany Tse

ORCHARD PARK, NY - Buffalo Bills President and CEO Russ Brandon introduced Doug Marrone this afternoon as the team's next head coach.
Marrone is the Bills' 16th head coach. He replaces Chan Gailey, who was released by the team last week.
The 2013 season will mark Marrone's eighth year in the National Football League and first as a head coach in the professional ranks.
Marrone was head coach of Syracuse University's football program from 2009-12. He led the team to a 21-17 record in the last three seasons and two New Era Pinstripe Bowl championships.
While this is Marrone's first NFL head coaching job, he was the offensive coordinator for the New Orleans Saints in 2006-2008 and offensive line coach of the New York Jets in 2002-2005.
Marrone also played in the NFL. He was drafted in the sixth-round in 1986 by the Los Angeles Raiders and played two years in the NFL with the the Miami Dolphins in 1987 and then the Saints in 1989.
Russ Brandon tweeted a picture this morning of the former Syracuse Head Coach with General Manager Buddy Nix and himself announcing the completed deal.
"Done Deal! #Bills fans - please join me and Buddy Nix in welcoming @CoachMarrone to Buffalo. Go #Bills!"

Point Foundation empowers promising LGBTQ students to achieve their full academic and leadership potential – despite the obstacles often put before them – to make a significant impact on society.
Born to Belgian and Indian immigrants in Arizona, Ved Chirayath grew up in Southern California with a passion for human space exploration. In 2003, as sophomore in high school, he modified a consumer digital camera and telescope to detect a new extra‐solar planet, 150 light years away and roughly twice the size of Jupiter. Later that year, Ved received the MIT Lincoln Laboratory Distinguished Scientist Award and enrolled as the first American at Moscow State University's Physics Department. After four and a half years in Russia, studying in an oppressive university and hostile environment, Ved resolved to move back to the United States and continue to pursue his dream of becoming an astronaut. He is determined to challenge the status quo, stand up for LGBTQ rights and become the first openly LGBTQ identified astronaut, as well as a spokesperson for the LGBTQ community in aerospace and the natural sciences. In 2009, Ved transferred to Stanford University's Physics Department to study Astrophysics. While finishing an additional concentration in Physics, he was accepted to the graduate program in Aeronautics & Astronautics and began researching a novel means to control aircraft. On March 31, 2011, Ved demonstrated the first controlled flight in history of an unmanned aerial vehicle by using plasma actuators -- lightweight, efficient flow control devices blended onto the surface of the wing with no moving parts. Ved is also a professional fashion photographer and received funding from Stanford University for a photography exhibition and outreach project, "Physics In Vogue." His photographs for the exhibition aim to shed light on profound contemporary physics discoveries by combining laboratory grade optical effects and scientific accuracy to create visual representations of complex science.

An honors student at a Fort Worth, Texas, high school was sent to the principal's office after he told a fellow student that he thought homosexuality is wrong. Fourteen-year-old Dakota Ary was in his German class "when the conversation shifted to religion and homosexuality in Germany," reported Fox News. "At some point during the conversation, he turned to a friend and said that he was a Christian and 'being a homosexual is wrong.'"
A short time later Dakota's mother, Holly Pope, received a call from an assistant principal at Fort Worth's Western Hills High School (photo) informing her that her son would be serving an "in-school suspension," along with a two-day full suspension, for his offense. "Dakota is a very well-grounded 14-year-old," Pope told Fox News, adding that her son is not only an honors student, but plays on the school's football team and is involved in his church's youth group. "He's been in church his whole life and he's been taught to stand up for what he believes," she added.

I'll ask you to consider this: How many quality fifth starters are there in baseball? How many quality sixth starters do you think there will be? I see it as easier to find FOUR quality SPs than FIVE or SIX.
Yes finding four is easier to find. no argument there whatsoever. The issue is durability. Say we did a four man rotation. How long before arms started falling off that the disabled list was pages long? Then what pitcher in their right mind that is major league worthy would ever sign for this team?

After falling to Region 19 leader Green River 64-38 on Tuesday night, the Pinnacle High boys basketball team was eliminated from a shot at the 1A state tournament.
Head coach Andrew Olson said the team needed to beat Green River and win their final region home game to have a shot at going to the state tournament.
Pinnacle (11-8 overall, 3-6 Region 19) will take on Manila on Friday night at 7 p.m. at the PHS gymnasium.
The Panthers will conclude their season on Thursday, Feb. 23 against Whitehorse at home.

At Who What Wear headquarters, we spend a great deal of time scouting and spotlighting the most fashionable fresh faces. These noteworthy young ladies (affectionately known as Pretty Young Things, or PYTs, around the office) never fail to inspire us with their nonchalant coolness and brilliant taste in clothes. When broken down into parts, PYT style sounds very contraryÂ--it's on-trend and individualistic, subtle and sexy, androgynous and feminineÂ--but they always make it work. Just look at Alexa Chung: she's the poster girl for the PYT set, thanks to her tomboyish tendencies and affinity for quirky accessories! Working off the hunch that you might have a pal who shares Chung's sartorial spirit and need to find the perfect gifts for her, we rounded up a batch of the best PYT-inspired stuff for your shopping pleasure. Read on for every fashion-forward delight, from splurge-worthy sunglasses to a seriously sharp pair of shoes!
Elizabeth and James Feather Double Ring ($425)
When it comes to jewelry, the PYT is always on the lookout for something unique and extraordinary, like this double-finger feather ring designed by Robert Lee Morris for Elizabeth and James. It's certainly a statement piece, but despite its boldness, the ring still has a delicate appearance and almost vintage vibe. We adore the fancy version with diamonds, sterling silver, and yellow gold (shown above), but it's also available in a simpler styleÂ--check out the Feather Across the Hand Ring ($150)Â--which is awesome too.
The Sartorialist by Scott Schuman ($17)
Whether she's the sort of girl who regularly makes the pages of photographer Scott Schuman's street style blog, The Sartorialist, or simply aspires to be a subject, your PYT will flip for this stunning anthology of Schuman's work. This comprehensive collection is a must-buy for all fashion fanatics and is sure to supply any reader with loads of inspiration.
Benjamin Douglas Blonde Tortoise Deluxe ($475)
Like all super stylish chicks, the PYT tends to favor a mix of thrifty thrills and upscale splurges. One accessory she definitely invests in is an amazing pair of sunglasses, hence our inclusion of the latest style from eyewear king, Benjamin. The purveyor of stylish sunnies recently outdid himself with the Douglas frames, which are shown here with a clip-on, a detail that adds so much personality and charm. These handmade sunglasses are also available in matte black, matte tortoise, and matte crystal, but we think the blonde tortoise is the best of them all!
Evil Twin Cop an Eyeful Skirt ($74)
While the PYT rarely opts for a full-blown body-con outfit, she will work a snug piece or two into her ensembles from time to time. Bearing this in mindÂ--and the PYT's proclivity for heavy-metal accentsÂ--we think she'd love this sleek skirt by Australian cult label, Evil Twin. The grommet details on the front panel give it a little toughness, while the ultra-affordable
price is oh-so sweet.
Urban Outfitters Suede Oxfords ($48) in Teal
One of the things we adore most about the PYTs in our lives is the way they always find (and wear) the best unexpected items. Case in point: who but the PYT would be able to pull off a killer pair of blue suede shoes? These teal lace-ups from Urban Outfitters are on-trend but a little unusual, making them an excellent gift option for the PTY. Plus, they're so reasonably priced, you can pick up a pair in black too!
Maybelline Stiletto Ultimate Precision Liquid Eyeliner ($6) in Blackest Black
One of the hallmarks of a true PYT is her mastery of that eternally cool beauty trend: the cat-eye. Sometimes it's thick and bold, other times it's ultra-winged, occasionally it's fine and flirty, but whatever way she wants to wear it, Maybelline's newest liquid eyeliner will help the PYT achieve her perfect look. The long-wear formula doesn't smudge (we tested!) and the application-friendly felt tip is perfect for amateurs and pros alike.
Alexander Wang Striped Tee ($120)
One of the key designers in any PYT's wardrobe is a fellow downtown darling: Alexander Wang. Needless to say, when we saw Wang's decidedly darling take on the traditional Breton-stripe style top (a wardrobe necessity in general, and a Chung favorite specifically), we couldn't help but include it in today's story. This navy and white linen-blend shirt is semi-sheer and slightly oversized, making it the perfect understated option for our girl du jour.
Today's Holiday Gift Guide is brought to you by Maybelline New York.

Transparency at Excelsior
Excelsior College is the founder and a member of The Presidents' Forum, a consortium of colleges and universities that are regionally accredited, serve adult students, and provide education at a distance. Consortium members joined together in a project called Transparency by Design, which was intended to provide information that would help students make informed decisions about their educational investment. When the project concluded at the end of 2012, Excelsior College chose to continue providing data on important topics such as student and alumni satisfaction, student engagement, and the costs of degree programs.
Please use the links below to learn more about Excelsior College, including who our students are, what they study, and what they think about their education at Excelsior. You may find the Featured Programs section and the Net Price Calculator particularly useful. The Featured Programs section provides information on what students are expected to learn, how their learning is measured, and how well students have done on those measures. The Net Price Calculator will also assist in making informed decisions regarding the financial aspects of pursuing a college degree.
We at Excelsior College hope you find the information on this site helpful as you make one of the most important decisions of a lifetime: choosing which degree program is best suited to your needs and circumstances.

Video: US Senate Approves Deal on 'Fiscal Cliff' Crisis
WASHINGTON (AP) - House Democratic leaders are pressing Speaker John Boehner to let the House vote on the Senate-approved bipartisan compromise that would avert much of the impact of the so-called fiscal cliff.
Following a nearly three-hour private meeting Tuesday between Vice President Joe Biden and House Democratic lawmakers, Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Democrats expected Boehner to allow the House to vote on the accord.
Boehner has said the House will vote on the Senate measure or vote to amend it. He and House GOP lawmakers were also meeting Tuesday, and some Republicans expressed concerns that the measure needed more spending cuts.
The Senate passed the measure early Tuesday on an 89-8 vote.
The compromise would allow tax increases on the nation's highest earners but prevent tax boosts from everyone else.
The No. 2 Republican in the House leadership says he opposes a Senate-passed measure to avert the so-called fiscal cliff.
Virginia Rep. Eric Cantor told reporters after a two-hour closed-door meeting Tuesday with his GOP lawmakers that he did not support the bill.
He said House leaders were looking for "the best path forward" and that no decisions had been made.
House GOP leaders were considering amending the measure and sending it back to the Senate, but that step could produce a deadlock.

Southfield, Mich. - To commemorate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Lawrence Technological University will participate in a two-part MLK Service Event on Jan. 16 and Jan. 18.
On Jan. 16, Lawrence Tech will join students from Ferndale's University High School in a day of service in honor of King's commitment to others. The volunteers will do improvement projects at University High School, such as painting, cleaning, and other forms of beautification, as well as other projects in the community. Lawrence Tech students who volunteer that day will also have the opportunity to mentor the students and share stories about student life.
University High School (UHS) is a public high school with a rigorous college prep curriculum with college success its primary goal for students. Ferndale Public Schools established UHS several years ago in partnership with Lawrence Tech.
Two days later on Jan. 18, Lawrence Tech will join an existing partnership between University of Michigan-Dearborn, Henry Ford Community College, Madonna University, and the United Way of Southeastern Michigan to provide volunteers to local community agencies and inspire long-lasting and positive change throughout the Metro Detroit area. More than 800 students volunteered at the 2009 MLK Service Event.
Lawrence Tech sent a few students to the first event and will increase its participation to 80 for the two 2010 events. The event coordinators at Lawrence Tech include Campus Engagement Fellowship sophomore Anna Spens and freshman Christopher Harris. Melissa Grunow, leadership curriculum coordinator, and Jessica Shaddawvine, AmeriCorps*VISTA, are their advisors.
Lawrence Tech's participation comes at a time when the University is putting a stronger emphasis on student leadership development and civic engagement.
Lawrence Tech's commitment to the national Martin Luther King Day of Service, which encourages individuals to "Make it a Day On, Not a Day Off," is partially funded by two grants, Campus Engagement Fellows and the MLK Challenge Grant, provided by the Michigan Campus Compact, the Corporation for National and Community Service, and Learn and Serve.
Lawrence Technological University, ltu.edu, offers nearly 100 undergraduate, master's and doctoral degree programs in Colleges of Architecture and Design, Arts and Sciences, Engineering and Management. Founded in 1932, the 4,500-student, private university pioneered evening classes and today has a growing number of weekend and online programs. Lawrence Tech's 102-acre campus is in Southfield, and programs are also offered in Detroit, Lansing, Petoskey and Traverse City. Lawrence Tech also offers programs with partner universities in Canada, Mexico, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

Jets Grant Pettine Permission to Speak With Buffalo
With the coaches returning to work today amid uncertainty, the Jets have granted defensive coordinator Mike Pettine permission to speak with the Buffalo Bills according to Conor Orr of The Star-Ledger.
Pettine has received permission from #Jets to interview with Buffalo, per source
— Conor Orr (@ConorTOrr) January 8, 2013
Eric Weeks, TheJetsBlog.comNo real surprise here. Rumors have been flying recently that Pettine was leaking information to the media and, as Bassett reported a couple of weeks ago, it got to the point where the Jets were monitoring his communications. Pettine's relationship with the team has been further compounded by his significantly deteriorated relationship with Rex Ryan as friction built over the course of the 2012 season. Add in the fact that he turned down a contract extension, it's not too difficult to connect the dots–Pettine's time in New York is coming to an end. His contract expires at the end of the month so regardless of whether or not he lands the job in Buffalo, Pettine will likely be another casualty this offseason.

This converted boozer, on a corner site in De Beauvoir Town, has made a name for itself since opening in 2012. The offering: no-frills meat dishes, mainly smoked and barbecued, and a fabulous selection of beers, both own-brewed and from top domestic and foreign producers.
The Duke's beef ribs were named one of Time Out's 100 best dishes in London in 2012 – a high achievement for a newcomer. On the evidence our most recent visit, however, the staff seemed to have taken their eye off the ball. The spare ribs were fine, but a trio of pulled pork sliders were dull and dry. The famous beef ribs were by far the best part of our meal, but, again, were dry and chewy where they should have been juicy and succulent. Baked beans and chips were good, though mac 'n' cheese was tough and leathery on top.
Service seemed a bit clueless: our waiter confidently assured us the beer we asked for wasn't stocked and looked nonplussed when we pointed it out on the list. We hope this was just an off night. It doesn't take long to build a reputation for good food, but it doesn't take long to lose it.

Comments about Gator GRC Slant-Top Console Rack Case:
We traded down from a beautiful--but insanely heavy--OSP road case. The Gator case is *much* lighter and more compact, which was the primary selling point for us as we're loading without a ramp.
Initial impression: This case does not appear made for continuous, heavy road use, as the thin polyethylene walls deform and buckle with point pressure. However, for weekend gigs and small tours, it works great. The lightweight construction makes it much easier to sling in and out of the back of a pickup truck or hatchback.
1) Lightweight. Our original OSP case was over 100 pounds empty. This case is 33 pounds, which makes a world of difference.
2) Compact yet roomy. For us, this case is holding a monitor mixer, two 16x4 snakes, and 7U worth of wireless gear. It's still heavy, but it's manageable.
1) Our biggest problem with the case is the single handles on each side. The center of gravity does not line up with the handles, which means that it's prone to tipping and wrenching out of your grip if you're not prepared. Two handles on each side would make this case much easier to carry.
2) The rack screw mounting plate is a separate strap from the aluminum extrusions. If you remove the pre-placed rack screws, the plate falls away. This becomes a problem when mounting a 10U mixer in the 10U top, as you have to remove all the screws to place the mixer, yet there is no space remaining for your hand to reach underneath and hold the mounting plate against the extrusion. We solved this with some tape to hold the mounting plate in place while we screwed in the mixer.
3) Lightweight latches. The plastic around the latches flexes and bends when normal latching torque is applied. Considering that this case is not supposed to be a heavy-duty monster, this problem is not a deal-breaker; however, we're concerned that the latches will eventually fail under normal use.
Summary: A light weight protective case, for light-to-medium duty use. Provides more-than-adequate protection for gigging and small tours where there's just you, the bass player, and your car. In spite of the issues we have with the case, we're very pleased with our purchase.

Comments about Gator GRC Slant-Top Console Rack Case:
I had the smaller version of this rack for the last three years. Now we run sound from the stage and I incorporated the power amps into the new larger rack. I purchased the Crown XL series power amps and everything now fits into one compact package. I added wheels and this whole set up weighs less than 50 lbs. What a back saver for us over 50 guys still playing out every weekend.
Comments about Gator GRC Slant-Top Console Rack Case:
Sick of wood case bulk, but couldn't find a similar product in the SKB line-up. I got this and couldn't be happier. I know where I'll be looking first in the future.
Comments about Gator GRC Slant-Top Console Rack Case:
I have had this case for almost 2 years. It has proven to be a road rugged beast. I have had no issues with it at all. I only wish they could incorporate a locking mechanism for when I have to leave my machines overnight in strange places.........I did drill it and add locks to all the enclosure lids pretty easily though.

POTSDAM Otto E. Czerepak stands surrounded by pieces of haphazardly arranged artwork in the basement of his hybrid tile store and art gallery. Many of them are his own creation: a cubist mosaic mounted on the wall, a bust inspired by Greek mythology on the floor, sketches and paintings scattered here and there, the accumulated clutter of a man devoted to the arts.
Im going to auction a lot of it off, make room for something new, he said.
He speaks in a whisper, a symptom of his Parkinsons disease. The auction will be held next weekend, with a mission of raising $7,500 to fund an alternative treatment for the lymphoma that started in his lungs and has spread to his bones, beyond the reach of chemotherapy.
Mr. Czerepak arrived in Potsdam by train in 1953, and has lived here ever since. He admires the region and the people who live here, citing their ability to persevere through difficulty.
There are people who know how to get together in hard times, and you dont see that too often, he said.
He has seen more than his share of hard times. He was diagnosed with throat cancer 18 years ago. He recovered, but two years ago he had to have one lobe removed from each lung to check the spread of lymphoma.
In 2009, his daughter Katya S. Czerepak Greer died shortly after giving birth to her second child. She was an artist, like her father. Mr. Czerepak created a scholarship in her honor at SUNY Potsdam.
Now the lymphoma has returned, but he refuses to let his hardships keep him down.
I know how to get over it. Its called work and a positive attitude, he said.
He points to all the times in his past when he was able to succeed despite hardship. How he still works at his store despite being past retirement age and in ill health (he is 70). How he plays racquetball regularly despite the arthritis in his joints and the Parkinsons disease that makes his hands shake uncontrollably. How he is an American citizen and military veteran despite his foreign birth.
He grew up in an Austrian refugee camp. He tells the story of his grandfather, an Austro-Hungarian general who faced dishonor for marrying a peasant woman.
He has never felt the desire to leave Potsdam since arriving here more than 61 years ago, saying the diversity and culture of the small town are the source of much of his artistic inspiration.
This community is a gem, he said.
He opened the Tile Co., 6 Raymond St., 15 years ago, and followed it up with an art gallery in the basement. He rents out studio space to local artists.
Although he focuses on mosaics and sculpture, Mr. Czerepak dabbles in all forms of art. In the 1970s, he took classes in glass blowing and terra cotta at a Mexican university.
In February he will return to Mexico to search for a cure for his cancer.
With traditional treatment a non-option, Mr. Czerepak has put his hopes in Hoxsey Therapy, an herbal treatment offered by a clinic in Tijuana, Mexico.
Part of the treatment involves a strict diet consisting largely of vegetables and herbs.
It will be tough for me, Mr. Czerepak said. No coffee, no milk, no dairy products, no wine, no meat, no sugar, no wheat.
Studies have found little evidence supporting Hoxsey Therapys effectiveness.
You have to give it a try, Mr. Czerepak said. Ill try to be cured, or at least extend my time on this earth.
The fundraiser starts with a concert Friday, with live music by local bands from 6 p.m. to midnight.
It will be followed by an art auction Jan. 25, with pieces by Mr. Czerepak and many of his artistic friends who have donated some of their works to the cause.
The community response has been uplifting, he said.
It makes you feel good. Its a kind of popularity you never thought was around, he said.

A woman wakes up to her dog barking finding her home filled with smoke and fire and no way to get out.
It happened early Sunday morning. Parkersburg firefighters rescued the woman with a ladder just in time.
Parkersburg Fire Chief Eric Taylor says it happened on Juliana Street around 6:30 am.
A woman inside the home woke up to her dog barking and finding her house completely filled with smoke and flames.
Chief Taylor says there were no smoke detectors in the house.
He says she was trapped in a second floor bedroom.
Firefighters responded finding the back of the house engulfed with fire and heavy smoke.
They used a ladder to rescue her from the second story.
She was treated at the scene for smoke inhalation.
Chief Taylor says they don't often use ladder rescues, but there were no other options for them to save her.
"There's no doubt in my mind that had the animal not alerted her the circumstances might be a little different this afternoon."
Damage to the home is estimated around 100 thousand dollars.
The dog that saved her life didn't make it out alive.
A house next door also had damage to the vinyl siding and windows from the heat.
Fire investigators are still determining the cause of the fire.

Someone DOES listen to my prayers at night. In this Page 3 Old Spice commercial parody, model Rosie Jones struts around half-naked as the woman you'd like your woman to be like. Of course I'd never freely admit that because with my luck today would be the day my girlfriend reads the site. But I will say, it wouldn't kill my girlfriend to put a little more effort into mastering a British accent. (BuzzFeed)
Oh and here are more pics of Rosie. Amazing, AMAZING Rosie.

As Utahns begin to plan their summer boating trips to area lakes and reservoirs, Utah's boating officials remind boaters to include plans for Utah's personal watercraft education course.
Utah law provides the opportunity for youths 12 to 17 to operate a watercraft such as a jet ski or wave runner if they meet the following conditions:
Youth ages 12 to 17 must successfully complete Utah's watercraft education course and carry their certificate with them whenever they operate the machinery.
Utah residents ages 12 to 15 also must operate under the direct supervision of a person who is 18 years of age or older.
Operators less than 18 years of age, who have not met the above requirements, may not operate a personal watercraft unless they are accompanied on board by a person who is at least 18 years old.
"Many parents call us with less than one week before their trip, hoping to get their child into one of Utah's watercraft education classes," stated state parks and recreation boating education specialist, Richard Droesbeke. "By planning ahead, they can avoid the disappointment of not finding an available class."
The classroom portion of the course includes instruction and review of key Utah boating laws and rules, viewing a safety video, addressing common boating courtesies, identification of buoys and hazards, and passing a written test.
Upon completion, the watercraft operators are better prepared to safely enjoy Utah's waters.
To register and enroll in Utah's personal watercraft education course, contact the Utah State Parks and Recreation Boating hotline at 801-538-2628.

I was raised on Berkely Avenue, my dad was a coal miner, my mom was a long time cook for the senior citizens center. I left East Carbon after graduation from Carbon High School in 1958 due to the lack of employment in our area at that time* After four years in the Air Force I returned to Utah where I worked as a licensed plumber and the state of Utah constructions inspector. After retirement my wife and I moved back home to East Carbon. Our son and daughter and their families have also relocated to make their home in East Carbon.
I am running for City Councilman because I want to be part of an open and responsive city government that will encourage all citizens to become involved. Together I feel we as a community can make a difference in our city. I value the diversity of the citizens of the community of East Carbon. I want to hear, understand and learn from all community members. I may be different from my neighbor but I value my neighbor's ideas. East Carbon is a place physically and culturally rich. I would like to see East Carbon grow and become a place our children will be proud to call their home. With your vote and support, I look forward to working for and with each citizen.

|Cleveland Has Record Day At Terrier Relays
|Written by Whitney Noble
|Sunday, 07 April 2013 08:02
Rachelle Cleveland (Moyock, N.C.) set a pair of school records, including the top mark in the javelin competition, to pace the Lees-McRae College women's track and field team to a impressive showing at Wofford University's Terrier Relays on Saturday afternoon.
Cleveland put together perhaps the best day of her career, winning the javelin throw with a school-record mark of 36.05 meters, while placing sixth in the shot put while establishing a new program-best mark of 11.58 meters. Jessica McEnaney (Cary, N.C.), Meagan Thornton (Millville, N.J.), Auburn Lowe (Swain County, N.C.), and Iesha Poindexter (Jetterville, Va.) combined to finish seventh in the 4x100-meter relay with a time of 51.13 seconds, as Poindexter placed sixth in the 100-meter dash with a mark of 12.56 seconds.
McEnaney posted a mark of 13.48 seconds in the event, as Thornton and Miesha Thompson (Orlando, Fla.) turned in times of 16.20 and 17.99 seconds, respectively, in the 100-meter hurdles. Thornton placed eighth in the 400-meter hurdles, crossing the line with a time of 1:06.95.
Thompson, Lowe, Taryn Moorhead (Deer Park, Wash.) and Mallory Overholt (Grand Bend, Ontario, Canada) finished fourth in the 1,600-meter sprint medley relay with a mark of 4:53.19, as the quartet of McEnaney, Lowe, Overholt and Poindexter combined to place fifth in the 4x200-meter relay with a time of 1:56.03.
Kortnie Curry (Lexington, N.C.) and Persephanie McRae (Brooklyn, N.Y.) claimed two of the top five spots in the high jump, finishing second and fourth, respectively, with marks of 1.59 and 1.54 meters. Moorhead placed 10th in the pole vault with a jump of 2.45 meters, as Curry and Lowe posted marks of 4.69 and 4.40 meters, respectively, in the long jump.
Kayla Frazier (Chesterfield, S.C.) placed 13th in the discus with a mark of 31.20 meters, as Genay Miller (Woodstock, Ga.) and Cleveland finished 16th and 18th, respectively, with throws of 28.26 and 28.00 meters. Jamara Cook (Claremont, N.C.) posted a mark of 36.81 meters to finish 10th in the hammer throw, while Frazier and Miller placed 16th and 18th, respectively, with tosses of 30.51 and 29.98 meters. Cook placed 15th in the shot put with a throw of 9.67 meters, as Frazier posted marks of 9.46 and 8.91 meters, respectively.
The LMC men were led by Brandon Williams (Raleigh, N.C.), who finished third in the 110-meter hurdles, and Tyler Dunn (Jasper, Ga.) placed second in the 1,500-meter run to lead the Lees-McRae College men's track and field team to a strong performance at the Terrier Relays on Saturday afternoon.
Dunn turned in the top finish of the day in the 1,500-meter run, placing second with a time of 4:09.04, as Matthew MacPhail (Spartanburg, S.C.) and Jordan Meyer (Inman, S.C.) posted marks of 4:28.50 and 4:57.84, respectively. Razhede Highsmith (Gastonia, N.C.) placed 13th in the 100-meter dash with a time of 11.25 seconds, while Joshua Soto (Aiken, S.C.) and Jarrett Gibson (Marietta, Ga.) finished 20th and 23rd, respectively. Williams posted perhaps his best performance of the day in the 110-meter hurdles, placing third with a mark of 15.53 seconds.
Soto and Highsmith teamed with Ian Harned (Pine Level, N.C.) and Michael Davis (Independence, Va.) to place second in the 1,600-meter sprint medley relay, combining for a time of 3:33.07. Williams, Highsmith, Gibson, and Soto finished fifth in the 4x100-meter relay, posting a time of 43.41 seconds.
Williams teamed with Gibson, Soto and Travis Burton (Newberry, S.C.) to finish fifth in the 4x200-meter relay, turning in a time of 1:29.54, as Dunn, MacPhail, Davante Scott (Hopkins, S.C.), and Gabriel Tobias (Lenoir, N.C.) placed seventh in the distance medley with a mark of 11:08.88.
Gibson placed 17th in the 200-meter dash with a mark of 23.43 seconds, while also teaming with Davis, Burton and Harned to finish eight in the 4x400-meter relay with a time of 3:29.42. Burton and Justin Floyd (Newton, N.C.) placed 10th and 11th, respectively, in the high jump with marks of 1.90 and 1.75 meters.
Soto and Floyd posted marks of 6.04 and 5.70 meters, respectively, in the long jump, as Scott placed 16th in the triple jump with a combined leap of 11.72 meters. Ryan Trask (Cobleskill, N.Y.) finished 12th in the discus with a mark of 38.30 meters, as Devan Mackey (Hickory, N.C.) placed 11th in the hammer throw with a toss of 31.44 meters.
Dwight Gilzene (Charlotte, N.C.) and Mackey placed 12th and 14th, respectively, in the shot put, as Trask finished seventh in the javelin with a throw of 43.59 meters.
Lees-McRae returns to action on Friday, April 12 when the Bobcats travel to nearby Boone, N.C. to participate in the Appalachian State University Invitational.

6.30 megapixel CMOS Sensor
Canon's newly developed large, single-plate CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) sensor captures images with exceptional clarity and tonal range. Created through a new high-precision manufacturing method, this high-sensitivity sensor delivers ultra-fine accuracy with an effective 6.30 megapixel resolution (approximately 6.50 total megapixels). It features advanced new peripheral circuitry that enhances images quality, an improved built-in amp that boosts the S/N ratio, and a superior sensing process that raises the maximum ISO speed while lowering image degradation during long exposures. The effective sensor size (22.7 x 15.1mm) has the same 3:2 ratio as film cameras, enabling an effective angle of view that is 1.6x the normal EF lens focal length.
High Performance Imaging Engine
Information captured by the CMOS sensor is processed and asembled into images of exceptional quality by a new Image Engine, the latest version of Canon's exclusive all-in-one DIGIC digital imaging processor. Color reproduction is extremely natural and details are incredibly precise, especially with gradations in the highlight areas. In fact reproduction is so accurate that noise reduction is unnecessary, even with long exposures. Through use of a newly developed signal processing algorithm, Canon's highly efficient Imaging Engine even accelerates signal processing while consuming less energy.
