Comments On Jun 13, 2012:I use it in my 4-strokes. Dump a can in to 5 gallons and you now have a VP4.4 clone .
I mix 2.5 gallons of Cam 2 110 octane leaded with 2.5 gallons of unleaded high test and one can of Klotz Nitro and there you have it. To be honest it works but I really don't need that little bit of extra power for my spodey novice ability.
(disclaimer): I've been riding and racing for 35 years and read and did research and I have tried all kinds of different concoctions for fuels, oils, etc. When trying something like this please use common sense and do so at your own risk !
Additional Comments On Jun 14, 2012:You MUST read your plug color, jet accordingly, and test, test, test. You don't want to roach your engine.

Comments On Jan 25, 2011:This product is truely awsome. It does give an increase in throttle response and more power but the throttle response was more noticeable. It is a pain to run as you have to run it out of the carb and put fresh fuel in everytime as it goes bad a day after it is mixed. I would strongly caution a novice rider to use this product as you truely need to know how to jet your bike and change timing. I personally went up 8 sizes on my 2003 YZ250.

Comments On Oct 20, 2010:this stuff amazing. makes a lot of power and has that vp racing smell. i would say trying this out before using vp's. very nice at great price thanks to rocky mountain.

Comments On Aug 18, 2010:Using this product with the minimum mixture may have provided some performance gains. Using the Maximum mixture rate with my pre mix caused the bike to over rev on its own for no reason. Even using the kill switch would not shut the bike off. I had to stall the bike to kill the engine. Im not sure if there was any benifit for for me. Though it did give the exhaust that high performance race smell. I wont ever use it again, and will only run 110 race fuel instead of mixing this product with 92 octane.
TECH NOTE: Directions for use -Take several spark plug readings to verify jet settings and correct heat range spark plug. A colder heat range spark plug is recommended. -4 Stroke Engines: Use up to 4ozs. Nitro per gallon, jet increase up to 4 sizes may be necessary. For high compression engines retard timing 2 degrees. -2 Stroke Engines: Use 2ozs. Nitro per gallon, up to a maximum of 4ozs. Nitro per gallon. Jet increase up to 6 sizes may be necessary.

Not So Fast, Good
Good Technology announced a pilot of a split billing solution which it claims is a world's first. Their announcement creates the impression that nobody in the industry is doing anything like it. Yet, BlackBerry announced WorkLife by BlackBerry back on November 13, a more complete solution that will be rolling out through carriers this year. Let's take a closer look at what other important details are missing from Good's announcement:
Click to enlarge image.
Good's solution seems to only apply to employee data — it doesn't address voice or SMS. Yet, work phone numbers are an important company asset. When employees using a personal phone for work (BYOD) leave the company, they take their phone number with them—and customers, suppliers and other work contacts will keep calling the employee's number, not the company's. With WorkLife by BlackBerry, enterprises can assign a separate work number they own and control, and re-assign it to another employee device any time. Now work phone calls are made to the company, not the person.
Of course, WorkLife by BlackBerry also addresses the split billing issue. But, rather than only addressing data, WorkLife also makes it easy to split the cost of voice minutes, SMS and data used for work vs. used for personal. Companies are automatically billed for work related usage on the work line while employees pay directly for their personal usage. With a simple switch, employees can choose which line they want to use when placing a phone call, sending an SMS or using data like browsing the web or using apps.
For companies issuing corporate devices, WorkLife also allows employees to have both a work and personal line on a corporate phone, ending the need to carry two devices. And WorkLife offers a number of other key advantages, including straightforward billing and the ability to maintain split billing while roaming.
Good's solution doesn't address voice or SMS charges. It doesn't ensure customer contact happens through phone numbers controlled by the company. And, it only partially creates a clear separation between all work and personal activities — unless, of course, your company doesn't talk to anyone on the phone or SMS. As a solution it's incomplete.
Don't just chip away at part of the problem. Find a complete solution that gives employees separate work and personal phone numbers, SMS and data all on one smartphone: www.blackberry.com/worklife.

Colectomy is a surgical procedure to remove all or part of your colon. Your colon, also called your large intestine, is a long tube-like organ at the end of your digestive system. Colectomy may be necessary to treat or prevent diseases and conditions that affect your colon.
There are various types of colectomy operations:
Colectomy surgery usually requires other procedures to reattach the remaining portions of your digestive system and permit waste to leave your body.
Colectomy is used to treat and prevent diseases and conditions that affect the colon, such as:
Discuss your treatment options with your doctor. In some situations, you may have a choice between various types of colectomy operations. Your doctor can discuss the benefits and risks of each.
Colectomy carries a risk of serious complications. Your risk of complications is based on your general health, the type of colectomy you undergo and the approach your surgeon uses to perform the operation. In general, complications of colectomy can include:
You'll spend time in the hospital after your colectomy to allow your digestive system to heal. Your health care team will also monitor you for signs of complications from your surgery. You may spend a few days to a week in the hospital, depending on your condition and your situation.
During the days leading up to your colon surgery, your doctor may ask that you:
Preparing for colectomy isn't always possible. For instance, if you need an emergency colectomy due to bowel obstruction or bowel perforation, there may not be time to prepare.
You'll spend at least a few days in the hospital after your colectomy, depending on your situation. Make arrangements for someone to take care of your responsibilities at home and at work.
Think ahead to what you might like to have with you while you're recovering in the hospital. Things you might pack include:
On the day of your surgery, your health care team will take you to a preparation room. Your blood pressure and breathing will be monitored. You may receive an antibiotic medication through a vein in your arm.
You're then taken to an operating room and positioned on a table. You'll be given a general anesthesia medication to put you in a sleep-like state so that you won't be aware during your operation.
The surgical team then proceeds with your colectomy. Colon surgery may be performed in two ways:
The type of operation you undergo depends on your situation and your surgeon's expertise. Laparoscopic colectomy may reduce the pain and recovery time after surgery. But not everyone is a candidate for this procedure. Also, in some situations your operation may begin as a laparoscopic colectomy, but circumstances may force your surgical team to convert to an open colectomy.
Once the colon has been repaired or removed, your surgeon will reconnect your digestive system to allow your body to expel waste. Options may include:
Your surgeon will discuss your options with you before your operation.
After surgery you'll be taken to a recovery room to be monitored as the anesthesia wears off. Then your health care team will take you to your hospital room to continue your recovery.
You'll stay in the hospital until you regain bowel function. This may take a couple of days to a week. You may not be able to eat solid foods at first. You might receive liquid nutrition through a vein in your arm and then transition to drinking clear liquids. As your intestines recover, you can eventually add solid foods.
If your surgery involved a colostomy or ileostomy to attach your intestine to the outside of your abdomen, you'll meet with an ostomy nurse who will show you how to care for your stoma. The nurse will explain how to change the ostomy bag that will collect waste.
Once you leave the hospital, expect a couple of weeks of recovery at home. You may feel weak at first, but eventually your strength will return. Ask your doctor when you can expect to get back to your normal routine.

Reviewer: S. Jack Wei, MD
Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: October 13, 2004
Presenter: M. Stuschke
Presenter's Affiliation: University of Essen, Essen, Germany (German Multicenter Trial)
Type of Session: Scientific
Materials and Methods
Author's Conclusions
Clinical/Scientific Implications
The current study demonstrates that in locally advanced SCCA of the esophagus, surgical resection does not provide a survival benefit over definitive radiochemotherapy. There was however, an improvement in local control with surgery. This benefit was largely offset by the increased treatment-related mortality due to surgery. It should be noted that although more patients died initially in the surgery arm, there was a trend towards an increased rate of long-term survival with surgery. In addition, a steep learning curve with regards to surgery was seen: the majority of surgery-related mortality occurred in the first half of the study duration. Presumably, if patients are carefully selected with regards to their ability to withstand surgical resection, and surgical techniques and post-operative care improves, the trend towards improved long-term survival with surgery may translate into a significant overall survival benefit. This may be particularly true for patients who do not show any response to the induction portion of RTCT.
The results of this study are in contrast to a recently reported French study also comparing neoadjuvant RTCT followed by surgery with definitive RTCT. The results of that trial showed improved median and 2-year overall survival for patients receiving definitive RTCT (17.7 mo vs. 19.3 mo and 34% vs. 40%, respectively). However, patients in that study who received definitive RTCT had a higher rate of dilation and stent requirement compared to those undergoing surgery. The French study and the current study demonstrate that the decision to treat with surgery or definitive RTCT should be individualized, and surgical resection should be reserved for carefully selected patients.

Comments about SmartWool PhD Ski Light Sock (Men's):

No, she's been fine around him since day one. They play together - rough play, the way Staffies do - but no intent to hurt him. She is fine with the neighbours' dogs too, and she has a few regular 'friends' she meets when we're out walking. But when she gets agitated (which she does a lot) and meets a new dog, she is more likely than not to go for it with deadly intent.PKMKII wrote:How is she around Milo, same sort of aggression or is she okay with him?

Sometimes it's a splashy performance that draws us to certain actresses, while other times, control and restraint makes the most indelible impacts. (Consider Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada versus Adaptation: two diametrically opposed but equally well-executed examples.) The same can be said of fashion-though we always adore the Agyness Deyns of the world for their fearless fashion choices, we are equally drawn to those style-setters who are able to catch our eye with subtle sophistication and poise. Kate Mara is one such example of a stylish young thing who has made her mark in both categories, as she creates characters and outfits that are thoughtful and pitch-perfect at all times. While we first took notice of the former when she starred as Heath Ledger's optimistic daughter in Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain, we have become fans of her personal style as well. Though she isn't against making a bold and bright statement (we particularly loved the shocking yellow Zac Posen gown she wore while accompanying the designer to the 2008 Costume Institute Gala), it is her put-together, polished, and feminine take on fashion that has officially stolen our hearts. So, it is with a great sense of pride that we present our current fashion crush and Girl of the Month: Kate Mara!
Before we delve into the outstanding outfits, let us give you a little background on our GOTM. Born and raised in Bedford, New York, Mara cut her teeth singing the National Anthem at home games of the New York Giants (her grandfather, Wellington Mara, is the longtime owner of the team, and her maternal grandfather, Art Rooney, was the founder of the Pittsburgh Steelers). It is no wonder, then, that her breakout performance in We Are Marshall hit so close to home (she has confessed to crying upon first reading the script!). Mara has also made a name for herself on the small screen and is set to play a recurring role in the new season of HBO's Entourage. As for her big-screen parts, she is starring in next summer's Ironman 2 with Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Mickey Rourke-not too shabby! Needless to say, Mara is a rising star and we're delighted to inform you that her career prospects are equally matched with her personal style choices!
Though it may seem that Mara is a fan of muted hues when it comes to her palette, the truth is that she is very smart about picking shades that work with her auburn hair and peaches-and-cream complexion. For example, Mara wowed in a pretty-in-pink Dior piece while attending the opening for The Annenberg Space for Photography (above, far left). Mara wisely grounded the voluminous shape with a wide belt to get a more body-con silhouette, and kept her hair and makeup sexy and simple! Her Ambre Dress is from the French fashion house's Spring 2009 collection and therefore no longer available, but we like Tracy Reese's Ruffled Dress ($300) as a stylish stand in for her runway-worthy number.
While her Dior number is as chic as can be, Mara looks just as good when not swathed in high-end designer duds. In fact, she appeared perfectly polished in Nanette Lepore's Vanity Dress ($286) while attending the 500 Days of Summer after party (middle) last month. The bead-embellishment and satin tiers add some eye-catching interest to her chocolate frock, and elevate a simple shift into a truly inspiring eveningwear option!
Of course, our subject du jour cannot live in dresses alone; on the contrary, Mara proves time and again that she is quite adept at selecting smart separates for any occasion. While attending a Cinema Society and The New Yorker-hosted screening of In The Loop in Manhattan (second from left), our GOTM looked fresh in Club Monaco's Grace Jacket ($149) and Pencey's Soft Floral Lust Skirt (sadly, no longer available). To get a similar ensemble, throw on a white linen blazer with Kimchi Blue's Tulip Skirt ($58), which will be fantastic with a sheer tank for summer and chic with tights or knee high boots for a smart transitional ensemble! Just remember to finish off the look with a structured clutch, like Mara's Grancio Clasp Clutch ($1090, 800.628.8916) from Salvatore Ferragamo, and you'll be all set for a night on the town!
Another way Mara blends high-impact pieces with more casual fare is by combining luxurious leather jackets with fringe or jewel-adorned garments. While attending the DJ Hero launch event at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles in July (second from right), she proved that a simple sheer tank top looks sharp-especially when it's enhanced with metallic details. Mara elevated her basic outfit by mixing Club Monaco's Lola Chain Tank ($68) with Paige Premium Denim's Skyline Classic Rise Jeans ($168) in black diamond. She finished off her look with Christian Louboutin's Deva 120 Fringed Boots ($1095) and a second skin gray leather jacket, like the Yaya Moto Jacket ($68) by Nom de Plume, which will give you the same edgy chic result!
Additionally, Mara solidified her status as a master of the high-low mix when she rocked a killer pair of bejeweled blush shorts with Express' Minus The Leather Motorcycle Jacket ($118) for a charity event in Los Angeles in July (far right). If you are a fan of her chic shorts, reach for Rory Beca's Triton Drawstring Shorts ($145), which reflect the soft shade of her sand-colored pick! Just make sure to pair them with a nude colored heel and your favorite biker jacket, and you'll be Mara-worthy in no time at all! -KM

7 U.S. Code § 1929 - Agricultural Credit Insurance Fund
(a) Revolving fund
The fund established pursuant to section 11(a) of the Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act, as amended, shall hereafter be called the Agricultural Credit Insurance Fund and is hereinafter in this subchapter referred to as the "fund". The fund shall remain available as a revolving fund for the discharge of the obligations of the Secretary under agreements insuring loans under this subchapter and loans and mortgages insured under prior authority.
(b) Deposits of funds; investments; purchase of notes
Moneys in the fund not needed for current operations shall be deposited in the Treasury of the United States to the credit of the fund or invested in direct obligations of the United States or obligations guaranteed by the United States. The Secretary may purchase with money in the fund any notes issued by the Secretary to the Secretary of the Treasury for the purpose of obtaining money for the fund.
(c) Notes; form and denominations; maturities; terms and conditions; interest rate; purchase by Treasury; public debt transaction
The Secretary is authorized to make and issue notes to the Secretary of the Treasury for the purpose of obtaining funds necessary for discharging obligations under this section and for authorized expenditures out of the fund. Such notes shall be in such form and denominations and have such maturities and be subject to such terms and conditions as may be prescribed by the Secretary with the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury. Such notes shall bear interest at a rate fixed by the Secretary of the Treasury, taking into consideration the current average market yield of outstanding marketable obligations of the United States having maturities comparable to the notes issued by the Secretary under this subchapter. The Secretary of the Treasury is authorized and directed to purchase any notes of the Secretary issued hereunder, and, for that purpose, the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to use as a public debt transaction the proceeds from the sale of any securities issued under chapter 31 of title 31, and the purposes for which such securities may be issued under such chapter are extended to include the purchase of notes issued by the Secretary. All redemptions, purchases, and sales by the Secretary of the Treasury of such notes shall be treated as public debt transactions of the United States.
(d) Notes and security as part of fund; collection or sale of notes; deposit of net proceeds in fund
Notes and security acquired by the Secretary in connection with loans insured under this subchapter and under prior authority shall become a part of the fund. Notes may be held in the fund and collected in accordance with their terms or may be sold by the Secretary with or without agreements for insurance thereof at the balance due thereon, or on such other basis as the Secretary may determine from time to time. All net proceeds from such collections, including sales of notes or property, shall be deposited in and become a part of the fund.
(e) Deposit in fund of portion of charge on outstanding principal obligations; availability of remainder of charge, and merger with appropriations, for administrative expenses
The Secretary shall deposit in the fund all or a portion, not to exceed one-half of 1 per centum of the unpaid principal balance of the loan, of any charge collected in connection with the insurance of loans; and any remainder of any such charge shall be available for administrative expenses of the Farmers Home Administration and the Rural Development Administration, in proportion to such charges collected in connection with the insurance of loans by such agency, to be transferred annually and become merged with any appropriation for administrative expenses for such agency.
(f) Utilization of fund
The Secretary may utilize the fund—
(1) to pay amounts to which the holder of the note is entitled on loans heretofore or hereafter insured accruing between the date of any payments made by the borrower and the date of transmittal of any such payments to the lender. In the discretion of the Secretary, payments other than final payments need not be remitted to the holder until due or until the next agreed annual or semiannual remittance date;
(2) to pay to the holder of the notes any deferred or defaulted installment or, upon assignment of the note to the Secretary at the Secretary's request, the entire balance due on the loan;
(4) to pay for contract services, taxes, insurance, prior liens, expenses necessary to make fiscal adjustments in connection with the application and transmittal of collections and other expenses and advances authorized in connection with insured loans, including the difference between interest payable by borrowers and interest to which insured lenders or insured holders are entitled under agreements with the Secretary included in contracts of insurance;
(5) to pay the Secretary's costs of administration necessary to insure, make grants, service, and otherwise carry out the programs under this chapter not specifically covered by the Rural Development Insurance Fund of section 1929a of this title, including costs of the Secretary incidental to guaranteeing loans under this chapter, either directly from the Fund or by transfers from the Fund to, and merger with, any appropriations for administrative expenses.
(g) Transfer of funds from Farmers Home Administration direct loan account and Emergency Credit Revolving Fund; abolition of such account and fund; payments from Agricultural Credit Insurance Fund; interest
(1) The assets and liabilities of, and authorizations applicable to, the Farmers Home Administration direct loan account created by section 1988 (c) of this title (before the amendment made by section 749(a)(1) of the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996) and the Emergency Credit Revolving Fund referred to in section 1966 of this title are hereby transferred to the fund, and such account and such revolving fund are hereby abolished. Such assets and their proceeds, including loans made out of the fund pursuant to this section, shall be subject to the provisions of this section, the last sentence of section 1926 (a)(1), and the last sentence of section 1927 of this title.
(2) From time to time, and at least at the close of each fiscal year, the Secretary shall pay from the fund into the Treasury as miscellaneous receipts interest on the value as determined by the Secretary, with the approval of the Comptroller General, of the Government's equity transferred to the fund pursuant to the first sentence of this subsection plus the cumulative amount of appropriations made available after enactment of this provision as capital and for administration of the programs financed from the fund, less the average undisbursed cash balance in the fund during the year. The rate of such interest shall be determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, taking into consideration the current average yield on outstanding marketable obligations of the United States with remaining periods to maturity comparable to the average maturities of loans made or insured from the fund, adjusted to the nearest one-eighth of 1 per centum. Interest payments may be deferred with the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury, but any interest payments so deferred shall themselves bear interest. If at any time the Secretary determines that moneys in the fund exceed present and any reasonably prospective future requirements of the fund, such excess may be transferred to the general fund of the Treasury.
(h) Guaranteed loans; interest rate for loans sold into secondary market; loan fees
(1) The Secretary may provide financial assistance to borrowers for purposes provided in this chapter by guaranteeing loans made by any Federal or State chartered bank, savings and loan association, cooperative lending agency, or other legally organized lending agency.
(2) The interest rate payable by a borrower on the portion of a guaranteed loan that is sold by a lender to the secondary market under this chapter may be lower than the interest rate charged on the portion retained by the lender, but shall not exceed the average interest rate charged by the lender on loans made to farm and ranch borrowers.
(3) With regard to any loan guarantee on a loan made by a commercial or cooperative lender related to a loan made by the Secretary under section 1935 of this title—
(4) Maximum guarantee of 90 percent.— Except as provided in paragraphs (5), (6), and (7), a loan guarantee under this chapter shall be for not more than 90 percent of the principal and interest due on the loan.
(5) Refinanced loans guaranteed at 95 percent.— The Secretary shall guarantee 95 percent of—
(A) in the case of a loan that solely refinances a direct loan made under this chapter, the principal and interest due on the loan on the date of the refinancing; or
(6) Beginning farmer loans guaranteed up to 95 percent.— The Secretary may guarantee not more than 95 percent of—
(A) a farm ownership loan for acquiring a farm or ranch to a borrower who is participating in the down payment loan program under section 1935 of this title; or
(B) an operating loan to a borrower who is participating in the down payment loan program under section 1935 of this title that is made during the period that the borrower has a direct loan outstanding under this subchapter for acquiring a farm or ranch.
(7) Amount of guarantee of loans for farm operations on tribal lands.— In the case of an operating loan made to a farmer or rancher whose farm or ranch land is subject to the jurisdiction of an Indian tribe and whose loan is secured by 1 or more security instruments that are subject to the jurisdiction of an Indian tribe, the Secretary shall guarantee 95 percent of the loan.
(i) Coordination of assistance for qualified beginning farmers and ranchers
(1) Not later than 60 days after any State expresses to the Secretary, in writing, a desire to coordinate the provision of financial assistance to qualified beginning farmers and ranchers in the State, the Secretary and the State shall conclude a joint memorandum of understanding that shall govern the coordination of the provision of the financial assistance by the State and the Secretary.
(2) The memorandum of understanding shall provide that if a State beginning farmer program makes a commitment to provide a qualified beginning farmer or rancher with financing to establish or maintain a viable farming or ranching operation, the Secretary shall, subject to applicable law, normal loan approval criteria, and the availability of funds provide the farmer or rancher with a down payment loan under section 1935 of this title or a guarantee of the financing provided by the State program, or both.
(3) The Secretary shall not charge any person (including a lender) any fee with respect to the provision of any guarantee under this subsection.
(5) As used in paragraph (1), the term "State beginning farmer program" means any program that is—
(j) Guarantee of loans made under State beginning farmer or rancher programs
The Secretary may guarantee under this chapter a loan made under a State beginning farmer or rancher program, including a loan financed by the net proceeds of a qualified small issue agricultural bond for land or property described in section 144 (a)(12)(B)(ii) of title 26.
