Pain control following surgery is a major priority of the medical staff at Avera McKennan Hospital & University Health Center. While you should expect to have some pain after surgery, our team will make every effort to safely minimize your discomfort.
The following information will help you understand your pain management options, describe how you can help your providers control your pain, and enable you to take an active role in pain treatment.
Upon admission, the surgeon, anesthesiologist and nursing staff will review your medical history including all medications (prescription and over-the-counter), vitamins and herbal supplements, and anything else you are taking. This may affect the choice of medications for your pain control.
In addition to a more pleasant experience, better pain control can help speed recovery and may reduce your risk of complications after surgery, such as pneumonia and blood clots. If your pain is well controlled, you will be able to walk, complete physical therapy and perform deep-breathing exercises more effectively.
You may be surprised where you experience pain after surgery. Quite often, the incision is not the only area of discomfort. You may or may not feel the following:
Good communication is the most important aspect of pain management. Please tell your nurse when you are having pain. Patients should never feel as though they are being a "bother." When pain increases, this may signal a need for more medication, or a different option altogether.
You will be frequently asked by the medical staff to rate your pain. This is done on a scale of 0-10. Our scale sets "0" as no pain and "10" the worst pain you can imagine.
Reporting your pain as a number helps the doctors and nurses judge how well your treatment is working and whether to make any changes. Patients quite often have a hard time converting their pain to a number, especially in the upper range.
We tell patients at a level of "7" it becomes difficult to focus on activities other than your pain, such as watching TV or working on a computer. Our table below gives facial expressions of what various numbers may look like. The number you choose is very important, however, and our ultimate goal is to put you in the best condition to walk, cough, deep breathe and safely recover from surgery.
Based on the type of surgery and a review of your medical history, the surgeon will have a pain management plan. Before surgery, an anesthesiologist will review your medical history, perform an exam, and then discuss your anesthetic options. This will include pain management during and after surgery.
The anesthesiologist may choose to consult the Acute Pain Service (APS) to help manage your pain following surgery. Doctors and pharmacists with this service are specially trained in the types of pain control options described on the next several pages. Remember, you are the one who ultimately decides which pain control option is chosen.
After surgery, you will be continually assessed to ensure your comfort. If necessary, new options and adjustments to your pain management regimen will be made.
Depending on the type of surgery and your medical history, you may receive more than one type of pain treatment. All of these options are considered safe, but like any therapy, they are not free of risk. Both side effects and complications are possible, however, they occur very rarely.
Patient-Controlled Analgesia (PCA) is a computerized pump that safely permits you to push a button and deliver small amounts of pain medicine into your intravenous (IV) line. No new needles are injected into your skin or muscle for this. PCA provides stable pain relief in most situations. Many patients like the sense of control they have over their pain management without having to ask a nurse for each dose.
The PCA pump is programmed to give a certain amount of medication when you press the button. It will only allow you to have so much medication, no matter how often you press the button, so there is little worry that you will give yourself too much. The amount of medicine can be adjusted at any time based on your response.
We caution patients against a family member pushing the PCA button. Sedation is a side effect of the pain medications and may signal reaching the maximum safe dosage. Additional doses at this point may be dangerous.
Many people are familiar with epidural analgesia. It is commonly used to control pain during childbirth. Postoperative epidural analgesia uses a pump to continuously deliver pain medicine into the spine through a very thin catheter taped to your back. During labor, epidural analgesia will help block the pain of incisions anywhere below the neck.
Placing the epidural catheter usually causes no more discomfort than having an IV inserted. Before placement, a sedating medication may be given through your IV to help you relax. The skin of your back is cleaned with a sterile solution and numbed with a local anesthetic.
Next, a thin needle will be carefully inserted between the vertebrae into an area called the "epidural space." The catheter is then passed through the needle into the epidural space, and the needle is then removed. During and after your surgery, pain medications can be infused through this epidural catheter with the goal of providing you excellent pain control when you awaken. If additional pain medication is required, we can increase the dosage of the epidural or supplement with IV medications.
We feel epidural analgesia is more effective in relieving surgical pain than intravenous medication. There is less sedation and the numbing effect on nerves provides greater ability to cough, deep breathe and walk. For postoperative patients, epidural analgesia may reduce the risk of serious complications such as blood clots and pneumonia.
Patients who may not be a candidate for epidural placement include:
Epidural analgesia is safe, but like any procedure or therapy, it is not risk free. Sometimes the epidural does not adequately control pain. In this situation, you will be given additional treatments or be offered a replacement of the epidural. Nausea, vomiting, itching, and drowsiness can occur. Occasionally, numbness and tingling or weakness of the legs can occur but this disappears after the medication is reduced or stopped. Headaches can occur, but this is rare. Severe complications, such as nerve damage and infection, are extremely rare.
You may be offered a nerve block to supplement your pain control after surgery. Whereas an epidural controls pain over a broad area of your body by blocking multiple nerves in the spine, a single nerve block is used to treat a smaller region of your body, such as an arm or leg. Usually a catheter is placed near the nerve and connected to a pump for uninterrupted delivery of pain medicine.
There are several potential advantages of a nerve block. Its main goal is to provide a significant reduction in the amount of narcotic medication used after surgery while increasing overall mobility. This may result in fewer side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, itching, and drowsiness. All injection therapy has risk involved. Our anesthesiologists use ultrasound-visual guidance when placing postoperative nerve blocks and catheters. We feel this increases the success of the block while minimizing traumatic complications.
You, your anesthesiologist, and surgeon will decide before surgery if a nerve block is a suitable pain management option for you.
At some point during your recovery from surgery, your doctor will order pain medications to be taken by mouth (oral pain medications). These may be ordered to come at a specified time, or you may need to ask your nurse to bring them to you. Make sure you know if you need to ask for the medication! Most oral pain medications can be taken every four hours.
Important! Do not wait until your pain is severe before you ask for pain medications. Also, if the pain medication has not significantly helped within 30 minutes, notify your nurse. Extra pain medication is available for you to take. You do not have to wait four hours to receive more medication. Most patients will have a backup IV medication ordered when oral medicines are ineffective.
Narcotics IV: Medications such as morphine, fentanyl, hydromorphone
Narcotics by mouth: (Percocet®, Vicodin®, Darvocet®, Tylenol ®)
These medications often contain acetaminophen (Tylenol®). Make sure other medications you are taking do not contain acetaminophen. For adults, a daily acetaminophen dose over 3250 mg can be damaging to the liver. Always ask your medical provider or pharmacist if you have any questions or concerns. Please confirm all medication dosages for pediatric patients.
Non-narcotic Analgesics (Tylenol®, Feverall®)
Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDS): ibuprofen (Advil®), naproxen sodium (Aleve®), celecoxib (Celebrex®)
There are other non-medication options to relieve pain, and it is important to keep an open mind about these techniques. When used along with, or instead of medication, these techniques can dramatically reduce pain.
Relaxation tapes or guided imagery is a proven form of focused relaxation that coaches you in creating calm, peaceful images in your mind; a "mental escape." For the best results, practice using the tape or CD before your surgery, and then use it twice daily during your recovery. You can get relaxation tapes at a bookstore, or rent CDs from your library. You can bring a battery-operated listening device to the hospital to play prior to surgery and during your hospital stay.
Listening to soft music, watching television, playing video games, or reading may divert your attention from pain.
At home, heat or cold therapy may be an option that your surgeon will choose to help reduce swelling and control your pain. Specific instructions for the use of these therapies will be discussed with you by your surgical team.
If you have an abdominal or chest incision, you will want to splint the area with a pillow or blanket when you are coughing or breathing deeply to decrease motion near your incision.
Always make sure you are comfortable with your treatment plan. Talk to your doctor and nurses about your questions and concerns. This will help avoid miscommunication, stress, anxiety, and disappointment, which may make pain worse. Keep asking questions until you have satisfactory answers. You are the one who will benefit.
You may be given prescriptions for pain medication to take at home. These may or may not be the same pain medications you took in the hospital. Talk with your doctor about which pain medications will be prescribed at discharge.
IMPORTANT Note: Make sure your doctor knows about pain medications that have been successful or caused you problems in the past. This will prevent possible delays in your discharge from the hospital.
Your doctors may have already given your prescription for pain medication prior to your surgery date. If this is the case, it is best to be prepared and have your medication filled and ready when you return home from the hospital. Plan to have your pain pills with you on your ride home if you are traveling a long distance. Check with your insurance company regarding your prescription plan and coverage for your medication. Occasionally, a pain medication prescribed by your doctor is not covered by your insurance company.
If you do not receive your prescription for pain medication until after the surgery, make sure a family member takes your prescription and either gets it filled at one of the Avera McKennan pharmacies on campus or soon after your discharge from the hospital. Have a plan for filling prescriptions before leaving the hospital.
Other considerations:
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you need to have stitches or staples removed and you are still taking pain medications, be sure to have a friend or family member drive you to your clinic appointment. You should not drive or operate equipment if you are taking narcotic-containing pain medications. Check the label of your prescription for any warnings or ask your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist.
I am nervous about getting "hooked" on pain pills. How do I avoid this?
The risk of becoming addicted to pain medication after surgery is very small. The bigger risk is a possible prolonged recovery if you avoid your pain medications, and cannot effectively do your required activities. If you are concerned about addiction, or have a history of substance abuse, talk with your doctors. They will monitor you closely during your recovery. If issues arise following surgery, they will consult the appropriate specialists.
I am a small person who is easily affected by medicine. I am nervous that a "normal" dose of pain medication will be too much for me. What should I do?
During recovery, your health care team will observe how you respond to pain medication and make changes as needed. Be sure to communicate with your doctors about any concerns you have prior to surgery. The relatively small doses of pain medication given after surgery are highly unlikely to have an exaggerated effect based on your body size.
I don't have a high tolerance for pain. I am afraid that the pain will be too much for me to handle. What can I do?
Concern about pain from surgery is very normal. The most important thing you can do is to talk with your surgeon and anesthesiologist about your particular situation. Setting pain control goals with your doctors before surgery will help them better tailor your pain treatment plan. Treating pain early is easier than treating it after it has set in. If you have had prior experiences with surgery and pain control, let your doctor know what worked or what did not work. Remember, there are usually many options available to you for pain control after surgery.
I normally take Tylenol® if I get a headache. Can I still take Tylenol® for a headache if I am on other pain medication?
As discussed earlier, before taking any other medication, be sure to talk to your doctor. Some of the medications prescribed for use at home contain acetaminophen (Tylenol®) and if too much is taken, you may become ill. In order to avoid getting too much of any medication, discuss this issue with your doctor or pharmacist before you leave the hospital.

Newport woman struggles to find a purpose after son's tragic death
On Nov. 16, her 17-year-old son, Adam Pysz, was struck and killed by a pickup truck on Route 12 in Charlestown.
Her only other child, Tyler, died many years ago at the age of 8 due to complications from a medical condition he was born with.
So this season, as others searched for the perfect holiday greeting card sentiment, Padova has been searching for the right epitaph and image for her teen son's gravestone.
On Christmas Eve, as others were readying to exchange gifts and host holiday meals, Padova searched for meaning in the holiday, the holy day.
"Also it's a religious holiday. There's a reason for Christmas. It's Jesus' birthday," she said.
She holds tight to her belief in God and her Catholic faith, but can't understand what His plan is for her. She struggles with the meaning of her life and who she is.
At 48, she has lost her only children and is no longer able to have children.
"I don't have a purpose anymore. I'm not a mom anymore."
Since her son's death, she has been compelled to write, she said. "Something's been telling me to write."
She stared with this: "It's Black Friday and I feel a strong compulsion to write. You see it's been one week today that my son Adam Andrew Pysz was killed by a motor vehicle on the Charleston Flats in Charlestown, N.H. Another man was also severely injured and remains in the hospital, not knowing if his leg will be saved, and in his mind he's living the nightmare over and over."
Adam Pysz was in the road attempting to move a deer out of the northbound lane when he and another man were struck by a Ford Ranger pick-up truck driven by Benjamin Watkins, 24, of Springfield, Vt.
The other man moving the deer, David Cummings, 32, of Claremont, was injured.
In her writings, Padova describes her son's death.
Adam had been working for his stepfather's business, Big Mike's Cleaning and Maintenance, and was traveling with co-workers between work sites when the accident occurred.
"His crew was finishing up a job, and then jumped into the van, followed by the second crew in another van. They left their workplace and headed to the next job, the first van carrying my son. A deer jumped out in front of them, and the driver was unable to stop, and unfortunately hit the poor animal. My kind-hearted son and one of his co-workers jumped out to check on and remove the deer from the road. The second van came to a complete stop behind them with their four-way hazards on, waiting.
"Here we have lined in a row on a straight flat section of highway, in front, a dead deer, and two men dragging it to the side, then the first van followed by the second van with its four-ways on. Along comes some traffic, which manages to see the flashing lights and the vehicles ahead and slows down. But for some tragic, unfortunate reason, one vehicle did not stop. . It crashes into the van at the end, then went around and tries to avoid the other van by driving around on the right side of the road, it comes around front and slams right into my son and his co-worker, sending them flying several feet along the road. The impact was so hard that they both lost their shoes. The vehicle stops, and there my son was under the vehicle, lying there alone. The other worker, Dave, who was also hit, was a little ways away. He sees Adam and tries to get up and go to him, but he feels severe pain in his legs; he can't move. He literally crawls and drags himself to my son's side and takes his hand. Adam doesn't move. Dave tells him 'everything is going to be OK,' Adam turns his eyes toward Dave's voice and says, 'I hope so,' then slowly turns his eyes back staring up, he dies then, my son dies."
Padova recounts in her writing her visit to Adam at the hospital where he had been pronounced dead. Singing "You are My Sunshine" to him one last time and placing a blessed scapula in his hand "not to be removed, and it never was."
Padova has the support of her family, including her parents, her husband and Adam's stepfather, Michael Padova, and Adam's biological father, Andrew Pysz.
She holds on by knowing Adam is with her. She opens her home up to Adam's friends, ready to be a "second mom" for them if needed. She goes to church and prays. She stays in contact with a state trooper who has not yet closed the investigation into the crash. And she writes.
Looking forward, Padova said she would like to eventually compile her writing into a book, which could possibly help others grieving. Maybe that's her purpose now, and if she could help just one person, she would be grateful.
At her parents' suggestion on Christmas Eve, Padova was joined by family at her home to release 50 Chinese lanterns at midnight into the sky in memory of Adam.
Padova is not sure if it will help her. She still cries every day, but it is a way to honor Adam and celebrate Christmas with him in mind.

FAUQUIER CO., Va. (WUSA9) -- The biggest concentration of outages in Northern Virginia is in Fauquier County.
The number as of Thursday afternoon was nearly 1400 outages.
200 of those customers are just north of Warrenton where a big tree fell on some power lines.
It took out power to the Gates family. Rosemarie usually needs oxygen at night but
took the risk of staying in her home last night without power as temperatures outside dipped below freezing.
Her daughter says, "I had the neighbors check on her and she was okay. She had on layers."
A large crews is working to get power restored in the area. It's a complicated job, one that they had to bring a bulldozer in to make a path and tow a bucket truck up the muddy hill.
Brian Paap wasn't going to let his family suffer through the cold.
"We stayed in a hotel, because it's a little too cold for a 3 and 5 year old."
While the district was spared, people had a tough time just 30 miles west on 66, places such as Warrenton and the Plains were hit hard by yesterday's snow storm.
Folks were sliding off the highway and having to dig out.
Dominion Power has 4700 people system wide working on outages. 500 of them are from out of state.
Many of them have been diverted west of the District to Charlottsville and the Shenandoah Valley where the storm dumped 20 plus inches in some places.
A big team has been reserved to helping a couple hundred customers where the Gates family lives.
Paap, "It's treacherous, wouldn't want to be doing this."
Gates, "We had peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and Greek salad for dinner"
Dominion Power is hoping to get most of Fauquier County restored by Thursday night and the rest of the state by Friday night.
The utility company will keep the out of state crews until there's full restoration.

Holiday Storage Tips: How to Store Holiday Lights – The Garage Plan Shop
The holidays have passed for another year. Now it is time to pack up your holiday décor and store it in your garage until next year. One task is to store all those holiday lights from front yard light displays, the Christmas tree and other areas of the home. Below are a few ideas to help you pack up your Christmas lights so you don't find a tangled mess of light strands in box next year.
- Plastic bags – Wrap each strand of lights in a ball and place each ball in an individual plastic bag (any type will do.) Then store all the bags together in a box in the designated space in your garage.
- Empty Wrapping Paper Tube – Begin by cutting a slit in both ends of a wrapping paper tube. Secure one end of the strand of lights by threading it through the slit. Then, wrap the lights along the tube. Thread the other end of the lights through the slit at the opposite end of the tube.
- Cardboard Square – Cut a square or rectangle out of heavy duty cardboard. Cut a slit in one side of the square. Then, secure the end of a light strand by threading it through the slit. Wrap the strand of lights around the cardboard and thread the other end of the strand back through the slit. Store all cardboard square together in a clearly labeled box.
For more holiday ideas, check out The Garage Plan Shop's entire collection of holiday blogs.

Last night, over 13,000 people came to party at Frontier Field for 98 PXY Summer Jam. Every time we get together to throw a party of this size I am completely humbled. Love that we can all hang out, have fun, and listen to some live music. What made last night extra special for me personally was the fact that LMFAO was in town. Let me explain...
A few years ago a friend and I were discussing the single "Love Lockdown" by Kanye West. He happened to mention a remix of the song produced by these guys who call themselves LMFAO. I listened to the remix once and was completely hooked. Their music was almost like a drug and I kept looking for more. As I discovered additional remixes by them, I started to hear that they were coming out with a full length album. I listened to them. I listened to them some more. I mean, you need to understand. My daughter and I bonded over their music...
Fast forward to early 2011. I hear "Party Rock Anthem" for the first time. I watch the video.
I share it with my Facebook friends.
And it becomes my sole mission to confirm them for 98 PXY Summer Jam. I love these guys. PXY Jams have always been about the "party" and there isn't anyone I could think of that had more of a party vibe than LMFAO.
Long story short, there were many hoops to jump through, but it got done and the end result was last night, which was completely ridiculous. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did and I really, sincerely appreciate the fact that you listen to 98 PXY!
Oh, and go ahead and mark "Do shots with LMFAO" off my bucket list. Where you at the after party? Yeah, that happened...

The Airbus A380 is one of the most environmentally advanced aircraft in the sky. With fuel efficiency as low as 3.1 litres per 100 passenger kilometres, ultra quiet engines, and a host of light-weight components, Emirates A380s fly more passengers further and more efficiently than other large commercial aircrafts. Emirates worked closely with Airbus to make the A380 dream a reality, and the result is a green giant that is the pride of our fleet.
The A380's fuel efficiency is better than most modern small passenger cars in terms of fuel economy per passenger kilometre – this is a key advantage in reducing our emissions and maximising eco-efficiency.
Emirates A380s were specially selected with the Engine Alliance GP7200 engines, which save a further 500,000 litres of fuel per aircraft per year than other alternatives. The greater fuel efficiency of the GP7200 engines on Emirates A380s results in the lowest emissions of any large commercial aircraft - a meagre 75g of CO2 per passenger kilometre.
Emirates is the largest operator of the A380, with 13 aircraft currently in our fleet and orders for 90 aircraft in total. As our fleet grows, we continue to add more modern and more eco-efficient aircraft to our operations. With an average fleet age of just over 5 years, our fuel efficiency and emissions performance is one of the industry's best – some 30% ahead of the global fleet average. Our significant investment in modern, low emissions aircraft helps to ensure that international aviation continues to grow sustainably.
The bottom line? The A380, along with aircraft like our Boeing 777 family and our order of 70 new A350-XWBs, allows Emirates to offer passengers the opportunity to fly on some of the most technically-advanced, comfortable and environmentally-friendly aircraft in the skies today.

The mountain can be both awe-inspiring and intimidating. The Burton Women's Lux Snowboard pampers the ride with a soft-flexing, women-specific True-Flex Super Fly core and steers you to the good times with a Flat Top profile, twin shaping, and a directional flex.
- Flat Top profiling toes the line between rocker and camber, with flat zone between your feet for crucial stability and a subtle early rise at the nose and tail for hook-free playfulness
- Biax fiberglass laminate provides a snap that makes it easy to progress and play, but has just the right amount of snap to jump and lay down some nice carves
- Women-specific True Flex Superfly core was engineered with lighter riders in mind, using top-shelf woods that are both hard and soft and are mapped out to meet your demands for pop and forgiveness
- Pro-Tips thin out the nose and tail towards the edge to shave weight and swing weight so you can sneak in another 180 to your spin
- Extruded base utilizes a non-porous compound that offers durability and easy maintenance

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
Actual product differs from picture
I ordered the 150 (white over turquoise) and I was a little disappointed for 2 reasons. 1) The board I received had a solid-dark purple back instead of the turquoise pattern back I wanted in the picture. When I called Backcountry they said I chose "One-color" and that it's kind of a gamble what board I get and it all depends on the person taking it out of inventory. Backcountry should make this very clear and show all options of 150 board before customers purchase so they know they might not be getting the back they want. I only saw white/turquoise with pattern on the website so that was what I thought I was getting. 2) The beautiful swirly pattern on the off-white section that is so clear in the image, is hardly noticeable on the actual product. This is a printing issue that Burton needs to improve on.
Hit up gearhead on chat before placing your order. They will help you get the base color you want.
killer snowboard!
I'm a beginner/intermediate snowboard and so far this has been such a great board for me. Turns great and I love the design.

It's absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! Now where are your step-by-step detailed oriented instructions? :) Every Christmas I think, "I want to make my own advent calendar" but I get too busy at Christmas. Maybe I can start making one for next Christmas. You've inspired me yet again!

I love it! What a fun collection of buttons you used! I love that it makes the tree look already decorated. I think it is really neat that the buttons go around the perimeter of the hanging rather than all at the bottom. Love it!

LOL Katie!! I had the same thought and wondered if I should make two of them and put one away but I just don't think I have it in me right now to sew another one!! ; ) Was also thinking, I'll need to make two felt Happy Birthday Banners, etc!

I keep telling myself I want to make an advent calendar too. Good thing I bought another paper one last year during the after Christmas sale. I told myself it was just for "in case." In case has happened again this year. Maybe next year! But I love your idea of decorating the tree each day as the advent activity. I've been preoccupied with coming up with a calendar that has a different activity each day and have been worrying about the advanced planning that may require. This is much easier and laid back!

Getting ready for the Kaibab and wanted to get some Merino Wool. I could not believe the prices so I started shopping around and found "Redram" brand on sale at Sierra.
Bottom line... I picked up;
4 boxers
3 ss tees
2 long sleeve tees
2 lase layer leggings
All Merino Wool for $248.65 delivered to the house. Nice people to deal with.
I think the 35% off sale ends today but they have an ongoing 25% off.
Now I just need a couple pairs of pants and a jacket.

LAUREL, Md. (WUSA9)-- The WUSA 9 news team was at St. Vincent Pallotti High School well before the doors opened at six AM today, and so were the crowds. One family arrived the evening before from Smyrna, Delaware. A woman named Jennifer said she needed a cavity filled. Pretty routine, unless you can't afford the dental bill.
She said, "If it were to get infected, it could be very dangerous. But not having dental insurance, you are reliant on the Mission of Mercy and hope it is nearby."
This Mid-Maryland Mission of Mercy, or MOM event, is co-sponsored by Catholic Charities and theMaryland State Dental Association. More than 300 volunteer dentists, hygienists and pharmacists will see about 800 people during the two day event. Participating dentist Dr. Diane Romaine came to help from Frostburg, Maryland. She says the "MOM" clinics cut down on emergency department visits for dental pain, infections, and other problems."
Dr. Romaine says, "Of course, in an emergency room, there are not dentists there. Usually, the only course of action is getting antibiotics and pain medication, which is not definitive treatment.
But definitive treatment was available at this clinic after the school's gym was transformed into a 50-chair dental office. Volunteers performed cleanings, root canals, fillings and extractions, an estimated $650,000 worth of dental work at no cost.
Dr. Frank McLaughlin of the Maryland State Dental Association says, "Unfortunately, there are no programs in the state of Maryland for adults, so this is why we need to do this."
The pop-up clinic will be seeing patients on Saturday, August 3rd as well on a first-come, first-served basis. Doors open at six AM, and a Catholic Charities representative estimates that about the first 250 people in line will be seen.

Its roots were in print journalism, but the Tribune Media Company (formerly known as Tribune Company) has evolved to embrace virtually every aspect of modern media. Tribune Media currently owns 42 TV stations in about 30 markets, cable network WGN America, and a stake in the Food Network. In addition, Tribune Media owns a number of online media properties, Tribune Studios, Tribune Digital Ventures, WGN-Radio, and a significant number of iconic real estate properties and strategic investments. In 2014 Tribune Company spun off its cornerstone newspaper publishing business into a newly formed company called Tribune Publishing Company and changed the name of the TV, radio, and digital business to Tribune Media.
Financial Performance
The company's revenue decreased in fiscal 2013 compared to the prior fiscal period. It reported $2.9 billion in revenue for fiscal 2013, down from $3.1 billion in revenue in fiscal 2012.
More alarming was the drop in net income in fiscal 2013 compared to the previous fiscal year. The company reported net income of $241 million for fiscal 2013, down from a net income of $422 million for fiscal 2012.
In 2013 the company filed paperwork with the SEC for a spinoff of its newspaper publishing operations (Tribune Publishing) to shareholders. The transaction, which was completed in the first half of 2014, allows Tribune Media to focus on its growing television operations and digital properties.

Pack goat = griz snack?
I would think it would take a bunch of goats to haul your stuff, might spend more time herding goats than hunting?
I am looking at purchasing a few pack goats and would like to know what breeds you other goat packers think are best. With the online research I have done I am favoring togg's, kiko's, oberhaslis and finally alpines. I would like to know if you all think its better to buy a trained goat or go through the bottle feeding process....I am leaning towards trained due to being able to hunt this coming year but would like to hear your thoughts! I would like to hear anyones thoughts on any part of packing with goats.....poitive or negative. I know Montana packs with goats and I would like to know your thoughts most as you are the only one that I know that's uses goats for sure! Thanks for your time and thoughts.
Pack goat = griz snack?
I would think it would take a bunch of goats to haul your stuff, might spend more time herding goats than hunting?
Goats can smell strongly, need their hooves trimmed, need shots, medicine, etc etc. Prepare to spend time just taking care of them if you want them to do well.
From what I've read, and from speaking with goat packers, you should raise your own wethers from kids, because the whole point of packing goats is they will follow you wherever you go. They are like dogs that way, and they will always stay with you and the lead goat. The right breed can take around 50 pounds apiece. I have a buddy with a string of pack goats, they are all like his little buddies.
I have long entertained the thought of doing it for several reasons:
1. You do not have to pack in food for them
2. They can go places that are hard for horses to get
3. You can simply stake them out at night, they are relatively low maintenance
I am thinking i will start bottle feeding but am thinking of getting 2 or 3 trained to start with so I can hunt this year and then start the bottle feeding process once I have all the items to start the heard from bottle feeding. I will only use withers as all the research suggest this. I did not find much on how a mixed heard would be (trained & bottle feed) but that is my current plan. I was hoping the forum could do better then this but I guess we just don't have many goat packers here. If anyone has any experience good or bad with goats please share any info, thanks, again
Horses an be like dogs too.

From what I was told by a Wy. G&F warden, you CAN pick up sheds, but NOT any antlers still attached to the skull plate, without a tag & inspection from a warden. That was a long time ago, maybe things have changed? Anybody know?
What's the regs in WY say for picking up a skull such as this one? Here in KY we are supposed to call the GW and get a carc tag.

For a cat to only eat the liver is a little impossible in my opinion, unless they rip everything out of the way and drag it out of the carcass until they get to the liver. Otherwise they would have to eat their way to the liver.
Also, as far as picking the bones clean, that could be done by countless other animals after the cougar has left. Not arguing, I have zero cougar experiences in my life, but would love to hunt them someday. I'm just considering different scenarios, but would be curious to know if anybody has much documentation on how they feed and mow much they kill????
I'm no expert but a lion does pick them pretty clean. They'll revisit the kill until done and usually don't go to far away. Last winter found bloody drag marks in a skiff snow, wasn't there at 10pm the night before. 8am the next morning its was a hide and bones, not a speck of meat. Tracks showed a momma and to cubs ate well that night. IKIC, that's a big buck, must be a BIG cat. What would the GPS coordinates be on that kill site!!!!!??????? Haha
Most of the time they kill big bucks. I've heard a few reasons why but from what I've seen it's mostly true. I was hunting in Eastern Wy. in 1986 and camped along the Chugwater River. I had my buck hanging in a tree on other side of river. Late at night I heard a lion growling/snarling. I went outside my tent with flashlight and saw the lion about 60 yds. away by the river. I yelled at it. Went back to sleep hoping he wasn't going to chew on my deer. Next morning I looked at where the lion was and in the middle of the river was a 5x5 buck about 25 in.. The whole side above water looked like a skeleton because it was picked so clean. I don't know if all the noise he was making was from fighting/killing deer or was pissed off that he couldn't drag all the way across. Told Rancher and he asked why didn't I shoot him. Told him I thought about it but didn't want to wake him up.
Hunting lions is critical, if you can get a tag I would encourage you to hunt them.

As far as picking them clean, I think it depends on the situation. If the hunting is real good (relatively easy) then why wouldn't they move on to a fresh kill. I've seen some hardly eaten and some picked clean. Different variables to consider, such as was mentioned earlier, a mother could be teaching young, or could have been spooked off. Did birds or competition find it, etc.
On some domestic damage cases they do kill multiple animals at once. (here again maybe because it's so easy)
They do go in behind the last rib and eat the liver and lungs first a lot of times,(one of the identifying marks when IDing a kill) although a lot of times they will come back and eat the rest. Most Canine and bear kills will have the hams torn out, they seem to start there more often.
Other IDing marks on skeletal remains is to look for left over skin on lower legs. A cat will pull the skin down in a tube like removing a sock with his claws to get to the lower leg meat. where a canine or bear will just chew it up. Bears and cats like to cover their kills when done feeding.(Canines don't).
It does seem like long tails take their share of big bucks. I haven't quite formed a solid opinion on this one, but I've been told this is probably due to big bucks solitary nature. Less ears, eyes and noses to detect them. It does make sense!
Thanks for a fun and interesting subject
And I agree, get a tag and hunt them. What a cool trophy!

In Nv we get two lion tags a year for $25 each.
I don't Break the rules, I Modify them.
As far as picking them clean I'm not sure. I've come accrossed a few Lon kills and I've seen both. I always figured they ate till they where stuffed full, buried the kill and moved on. I've seen one of the kills stripped down to just tendons and bone. It looked like a burlap sack shredded. But then I saw a few Magpies on a deer carcass and it looked the same, like a burlap sack where they just stripped the meat off.
I don't Break the rules, I Modify them.

Cyclones Suffer Third Loss of Season to Illinois
AMES, Iowa – The Iowa State swimming and diving team (3-3-1, 0-1 Big 12) suffered their third loss of the season to Illinois this evening, 168-132. The Cyclones jumped out to an early 21-15 lead after touching first in the 200-medley relay and the 1000-freestyle, but the Fighting Illini proved to be too much down the stretch.
Despite the loss, Iowa State had a number of notable individual performances including junior Amanda Paulson's who took first in the 50-freestyle for the 24th time in her career. Imelda Wistey continued her stellar senior season scoring 22-points for the Cyclones with two first place finishes in the 200-medley relay and the 200-breaststroke.
"It was a really up and down meet. I thought Amanda Paulson swam outstanding," Iowa State head swimming coach Duane Sorenson said. "She had a typical 50-free, but we challenged her with the 100-free, and she really did a nice job with that. She still doesn't know how good she really is."
After a hot start, Illinois stole the momentum by sweeping the Cyclones in both the 200-freestyle and the 200-butterfly to claim a 65-47 lead after six events. The Illini were led by freshman duo Gabbie Stecker and Amelia Schilling who combined to score 35-points on the night.
"We knew how good Stecker is, and she is just a fierce competitor – she has always been a great swimmer," Sorenson said. "We knew that she was going to do something."
On the boards, the Cyclone divers posted one of their best performances of the 2013-14 season, according to Iowa State head diving coach Jeff Warrick. The Cyclone diving squad outscored their counterparts from Illinois by a total of 26-12.
Senior Jessica Henderson continued to impress as she claimed the top spot in both the 3-meter and 1-meter event with scores of 288.30 and 279.46, respectively. Sophomore teammate Elyse Brouillette took second in each event with a 3-meter score of 283.95 and a 1-meter score of 276.82.
"Overall I was really happy, especially with my top two. They were kind of going at with against each other, and it was good to see them both at that level," Warrick said.
Iowa State returns to action Sat., Jan 25 at 1 p.m. as the Panthers of Northern Iowa travel to Ames, Iowa.

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (WUSA) - A police impersonator was arrested after pulling over a real police officer in Prince George's County on Wednesday, police said.
Anthony Kenneth Mastrogiovanni, 29, of the 900 block of Eastham Court,
Crofton, was arrested and charged with impersonating a police
"The Capitol Heights police officer identified himself, and the suspect said that he was a military police officer from Louisiana. The suspect then told the Capitol Heights officer that he was speeding. The Capitol Heights officer told Mastrogiovanni that he had no jurisdiction, and that having blue and red emergency equipment in his truck was illegal in Maryland. The suspect then left the scene. The Capitol Heights officer contacted Prince George's County police and followed the suspect until the county police arrived," police said.
Mastrogiovanni was driving a white pickup truck on southbound Route 301 when he performed a traffic stop on a Capitol Heights Police Officer who was in his personal vehicle at southbound Route 301 and Trade Zone Avenue.
Anyone who believes they may have been a victim of Mastrogiovanni is asked to contact the Prince George's County Police Department at (301) 856-3130, or Crime Solvers at 1-866-411 TIPS (8477).

I have down loaded and installed the Outlook Connector beta and have run into an error when configuring it. In going though the server configuration after entering in the fqdn, email address, password and clicking on OK I get the following error dialog:

Hi there
Just wanted to say thanks for developing ZimbraME (J2ME).
Here's some feedback :
1. Installation via the download page couldn't have been better (browse to the page via the mobile, select Generic, then click Install). Doddle!
2. Wow! ZimbraME loads so fast when selected from my applications!
3. Logging into my server worked first time.
4. I can read emails, view calendar items... hugely impressive.
I really can't remember the last time I got something like this working so quickly & so easily. And it works so well!
Next stage is to bite my tongue whilst I try things for a month then show off Zimbra to a select few clients (the J2ME will be the icing on the cake).
I'm so glad I found Zimbra... what a top quality product. Cheers guys! I really hope I can help out a bit in the forum in the future.

(Reuters) – Pop star Lady Gaga will release her next album, "ARTPOP", on November 11, a statement on the U.S. singer's website said on Friday.
The 27-year-old "Born This Way" singer – who cancelled part of a tour earlier this year to undergo hip surgery – will release a single from the new album on August 19.
Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, calls her fans "little monsters" and will release a social media app ahead of the album on September 1, which the statement said would seek to make connections between music, art, fashion and technology.
"Altering the human experience with social media, we bring ART culture into POP in a reverse Warholian expedition", said the statement, referring to late U.S. pop artist Andy Warhol.
The Grammy-winning singer first rose to prominence in 2008 with the release of her album "Fame" and is well known for her outrageous costumes and provocative music videos.

St. Louis, MO (Sports Network) - Adrian Peterson ran for 212 yards -- including an 82-yard touchdown -- on 24 carries on Sunday, as the Minnesota Vikings dropped the St. Louis Rams, 36-22, on Sunday at Edward Jones Dome.
Peterson has 1,812 rushing yards this season and still has a shot at reaching Eric Dickerson's NFL record of 2,105 rushing yards in a single season, as he sits just 294 yards short of eclipsing the mark with two games to play.
Christian Ponder threw for 131 yards on 17-of-24 passing and ran for a touchdown, while Blair Walsh kicked five field goals for the Vikings (8-6), who have won two straight and thrust themselves into the playoff picture, moving into a second-place tie in the NFC North with the Chicago Bears, who lost to Green Bay.
Jerome Simpson led the receiving corps with four catches and 27 yards, and Everson Griffen added a 29-yard pick-six for the Vikings.
Sam Bradford threw for 377 yards and three touchdowns on 35-of-55 passing, while Stephen Jackson ran for 73 yards on 13 carries.
Jackson became the 27th player in NFL history to reach the 10,000 rushing yard plateau with a 9-yard dash in the third quarter, but it wasn't enough for the Rams (6-7-1), who had a three-game winning streak snapped.
Danny Amendola, Lance Kendricks and Brian Quick caught touchdown passes in the setback.

ROANOKE (WSLS 10) — We've warned you about it for days and now it's finally here. A massive snowstorm has hit Southwest Virginia.
The snow moved into some parts of the NRV as early as 3:00 a.m. on Friday.
This storm has garnered nationwide attention. Today Show meteorologist Dylan Dreyer was in Christiansburg Friday morning. She joined WSLS 10's Duke Carter live on Virginia Today to talk about the storm and it's impact on the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. She also took the opportunity to school Duke about proper clothing for snow coverage.
The Virginia Department of Transportation has about 2,500 crew members and more than 13,000 pieces of equipment for snow removal statewide, including plows, trucks and spreaders. It has more than 650,000 tons of salt, sand and abrasives available, along with nearly 2 million gallons of liquid salt.
VDOT also has a statewide network of 77 weather sensors in roads and bridges, which allow crews to quicklky identify when and where road surfaces are freezing.
VDOT says it plans to clear interstates and primary roads first, followed by secondary roads, particularly those with heavy traffic.
Let us know what you're seeing in your area. Send pictures by emailing us at firstname.lastname@example.com or posting them on WSLS 10's Facebook page or tweet pictures to @WSLS.

Love Songs
I love dedicating songs to my husband. On New Year's Eve it was "Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol. When we were going out in high school it was "Wouldn't It Be Nice" by The Beach Boys. (And, yes, it is nice "to live together in a kind of world where we belong").
High school even garnered a dedication to the clichéd "Sometimes When We Touch" by Dan Hill (which I found on the Tropic Thunder soundtrack--weird!).
Curl Up Together on the Couch
I think for this Valentine's Day, I'll be a little off-beat and dedicate something from the Rocky Horror Picture Show (one of our favorite movies--yes, we are a bit twisted).
Happy Valentines Day!

Moving furniture
Bruce Cochrane sits in his fathers former office, surrounded by photos documenting his familys history. His great-great-grandfather turned wood into church pews. His great-grandfather opened a factory in Lincolnton that made fireplace mantels before focusing on oak and pine dining-room sets. By the late 1930s, it employed 50. When his father, Theo, became president around 1960, he introduced pieces crafted from cherry and the popular Threshers collection. In 1982, when the new factory opened, Cochrane Furniture Co.s workforce topped 1,000. It is not just about making fine furniture, his dad would say. It is about the good people that make the fine furniture.
The family sold the business in 1996 to West Lafayette, Ind.-based Chromcraft Revington Inc., which over the next decade cut back the Lincolnton workforce as it moved jobs to China, joining droves of furniture makers chasing cheap labor. Between 2001 and 2005, the U.S. industry lost 230 plants and 55,800 jobs, according to The Furniture Wars: How America Lost a Fifty Billion Dollar Industry by Michael K. Dugan, a business professor at Lenoir-Rhyne University in Hickory and former president of High Point-based Henredon Furniture Industries Inc. Lincolnton became a victim of that exodus. Twelve years after it bought Cochrane Furniture the same year Theo Cochrane died Chromcraft Revington laid off the remaining workforce, shuttered the plant and sold off the machinery.
Bruce Cochrane, the companys president when it was sold, became a consultant, helping manufacturers source products in China and Vietnam. It was almost like a drug. Everybody wanted to be a part of it. It was a crazy time in the furniture business. We lost a $50 billion industry in a short period of time. But by December 2010, he saw the landscape start to reverse. As Chinas economy expanded, the demand for workers increased. So did wages, from 30-to-50 cents an hour to almost $3.60 an hour. Months-long delivery times and rising shipping rates chipped away at shrinking margins. The focus on cheap labor overlooked the cost of inventory, quality and service. These changes have led companies to question the benefits of offshoring and explore whats called reshoring. The Boston Consulting Group projects seven industries, including furniture, will start bringing jobs back from China by 2015. U.S. companies are looking at ways to replace 20% of their overseas manufacturing workforce between 2012 and 2014, according to The Hackett Group, a Miami-based consultancy.
In January, Cochrane, 60, reopened his familys former 300,000-square-foot factory under the mantle of a new outfit, Lincolnton Furniture Co., which makes cherry, oak and maple pieces. In its case, another business buzzword applies insourcing since the fledgling company is, in effect, creating jobs rather than bringing them back. Either way, its based on the belief that a turnaround in domestic furniture manufacturing is real, if limited. The company debuted its line at the High Point Market in October 2011 and has roughly 100 dealers. The plant, which he is leasing, began production this year. Sales have been very, very good robust, even, Cochrane says. He expects to post nearly $10 million of retail sales this year.
But Cochrane and Lincolnton Furniture are far from home free. Some suggest insourcing and reshoring are blips, not trends. North Carolinas furniture industry thrived because it offered cheaper labor than Northern states, but Asian countries if not China, then others will continue to undercut it. Were all proud of what Bruce has done at Lincolnton, says industry analyst Jerry Epperson, managing director of Mann, Armistead & Epperson Ltd., a Richmond, Va.-based investment banking and advisory firm. But I dont expect to see a lot of wood-furniture production coming back here.
In January, the president invited Cochrane to the White House to participate in a forum on insourcing. In his State of the Union address a few weeks later, Barack Obama outlined a proposal to give tax breaks to companies that create manufacturing jobs in the U.S. That wont be especially helpful, Cochrane says. Startups need capital, not tax breaks. He would know. Needing about $5 million to upfit the factory, buy equipment and train employees, he was turned down by several large banks. Finally, he got financing from hometown Carolina Trust Bank, whose president had worked summers in the plant as a teenager.
Because Chromcraft Revington had sold the equipment, Cochrane had to start with a mostly clean slate. He purchased a few pieces of used stuff, but all-purpose routers that do the work of 25 machines that sand, drill and saw are essential to efficiency. Giving a visitor a tour of the factory, he pops into an engineers office where 3-D modeling software programs machines on the floor. Lincolntons success will depend on the increased production this technology enables. You know, a lot people think manufacturing has gone and its never coming back. But in the U.S. were producing 21/2 times more than what we did in 1970 in constant dollars. But we are doing it with fewer people. He thought he would need to hire 250 to reach the production he now expects to achieve with slightly more than half that. The company plans to have 130 on its payroll by the end of the year.
About 1,400 applied for jobs, many of them former employees. Joe Rudisill, plant manager for 33 years, is back. Pat Hendrick is purchasing manager, a title she held for a quarter-century before the plant closed. Karen Padgett, human-resources manager for 35 years, has her old job. Leaving there, it was like a death in the family, she says. She always felt empty driving past the shuttered factory. When Cochrane called her about coming back, she thought he was kidding until he explained why Lincolnton could compete with imports. I didnt even hesitate, she says. I believe more of it is coming back. About half those hired are former Cochrane Furniture employees. Some hadnt worked in a while and had lost their confidence, Cochrane says. It really was very sentimental to start manufacturing again and be able to bring people back.
Though most are experienced furniture workers, there have been problems filling orders, especially in assembly and finishing, as the company hires and trains. The water-based finishing system is new to old hands, who used petrochemical finishes that emitted volatile organic compounds into the air. Were green this is the third generation of finishing technology, Cochrane says. As we say on our Facebook page, we have a neutral carbon footprint. Consumers care about those things now. Hes leaning on point-of-production marketing, contending that consumers respond to made in America, not only out of patriotism but for the perceived value of quality construction, such as the cabinet joinery used in making upper-middle-priced solid oak, cherry and maple bedroom and dining-room furniture. I think people respond to made in America more so than ever before. I also think people are starting to realize that made in America means jobs in America. He even believes that, someday, Lincolnton Furniture will export products to Asia. I sure do. The Chinese really love American-made products.
Recent numbers support his confidence. Furniture imports fell last year for the first time since the early 1990s, Epperson says. That goes for both casegoods wood and upholstered furniture. Domestic casegoods shipments increased 2.5%, while imports slipped 2.2%; domestic upholstery, up 4.8%, and imports, down 2.6%. However, that trend didnt extend into the first quarter of this year. Those kind of gains are just not sustainable over time. I think 2011 was more of an adjustment than a long-term change. The bottom line is that nearly 70% of casegoods and 38% of upholstery sold in America last year were imported.
Furniture is always going to migrate where the cheaper labor is, Epperson adds, noting that the industry began relocating from the North primarily Massachusetts, New York and Michigan to Virginia and North Carolina around the turn of the 20th century for that very reason. Even now, as labor costs have increased in China, some of the industry has migrated to Vietnam, Indonesia and Malaysia. As for made-in-America marketing, most furniture stores in the U.S. dont promote where products are made because it can be a double-edged sword. Sometimes that makes the consumer feel guilty if they dont want the American-made product because its the wrong design, color or size. Studies say over and over again consumers want to buy American unless it costs more.
There are successful examples of reshoring. Stanley Furniture Co., based in High Point and Stanleytown, Va., recently recalled production of baby cribs from China to its last remaining domestic factory in Robbinsville due to consumer-safety concerns. That plant has made its Young America line for years, but all other production was sent overseas. Galax, Va.-based Vaughan-Bassett Furniture Co. will invest $8 million to restart production at a factory closed in 2006. At the High Point Market in April, American Drew Inc., a subsidiary of High Point-based La-z-boy Chair Co., announced it would make solid-wood bedroom collections in partnership with Kincaid Furniture Co., its sister company, in Hudson. But in the last couple of months, three small U.S. solid-wood manufacturers have suspended operations, citing a lack of operating capital. Epperson is more hopeful about upholstery than wood because its not as capital intensive and doesnt have as many environmental regulations.
But Dugan, the executive turned business professor, is cautiously optimistic about casegoods. I think we could see some manufacturing come back, but its not going to look like it used to, and its not going to happen overnight. Once factories are closed, equipment is sold and environmental permits expire, its hard to put it back together again. Still, he thinks Lincolnton Furnitures business model may work because Asian manufacturers cant produce solid-wood furniture as well or as cheaply as domestic manufacturers can because lumber has to be imported from the U.S. That is in their favor. Theres a distinct market for that.
Both Epperson and Dugan agree that Cochrane would do well to study the playbook of Hickory Chair Furniture Co., about 20 miles down the road from Lincolnton, which employs more than 500 people. Weve posted 50 jobs in the last 60 days, President Jay Reardon says. Only about a tenth of its line is imported primarily highly carved pieces and metal components because the company has focused on its workforce. In the late 1990s, it developed a program modeled on Toyotas kaizen system. The Japanese automakers philosophy calls for continuous manufacturing improvement through a reduction of waste on the factory floor and less emphasis on top-down management. This allows Hickory Chair to be more flexible, making furniture in small batches that can be easily customized. Thats a strong selling point to high-end consumers and interior designers. Though it does update its equipment, it doesnt focus on technology. You can speed up a bad process, but sometimes you need to challenge the process itself, Reardon says. Our efficiencies have not been so much because of technical solutions as a cultural shift.
He admires Cochrane for investing in a startup and hopes to see more domestic production as the cost gap of importing narrows. More than anything, he thinks Lincolnton Furniture needs to live by Theo Cochranes creed It is not just about making fine furniture. It is about the good people that make the fine furniture which his son admits he failed to do while helping companies move their workforce offshore. But now hes ready to add another picture to the wall of his fathers office. He just wishes his dad were there to see it.

Charlotte, NC (Sports Network) - With Carmelo Anthony exiting late in the
fourth quarter with a hand injury, New York was without its closer in the
final seconds of a tied game.
However, they found one in J.R. Smith, who made huge plays on both sides of
the ball.
Smith came up with a pivotal steal and then drained the game-winning bucket as
time expired to help the Knicks escape Charlotte with a 100-98 victory over
the Bobcats.
Smith finished with 13 points and also had a key block late in the game. Tyson
Chandler put forth a monstrous double-double, posting 18 points and 17
rebounds to help pace the Knicks to their fourth straight win.
Anthony finished with 23 points, but scored just three on 1-of-11 shooting in
the second half before leaving. Raymond Felton tallied 17 points and nine
assists and in his return after missing four games with back spasms, Jason
Kidd totaled seven points, two steals and three blocks.
Charlotte turned the ball over on each of its final five possessions to send
the club to its fifth straight loss. Kemba Walker scored a game-high 25 points
and had a season-best 11 assists.

As light-truck segment sales in the U.S. continue to exceed industry expectations, climbing toward a six-year high in market share and increasing 18.8 percent from a year ago, Air Lift Company is keeping pace, adding six new applications for half-ton pickups to its growing line of suspension solutions.
Air Lift's newest kits for half-ton trucks are part of its LoadLifter 5000(tm) series kit line, which works with the vehicle's existing suspension, delivering up to 5,000 pounds of load leveling capacity, eliminating sway and squat, and increasing safety and comfort when towing or hauling heavy loads.
Further improving on its high-quality suspension line, Air Lift's air spring kits will feature Goodyear(r) Engineered Products air springs for optimum performance. Half-ton pickup owners can add an Air Lift WirelessAIR(tm) compressor system to gain independent control of air springs with convenient one-touch inflation and deflation from inside or outside the vehicle.
Family owned for more than 60 years, Air Lift has the ability to quickly respond to customer demand, more so than larger, more unwieldy after-market manufacturers.
"We've engineered these applications in direct response to customer demand as smaller tow vehicles gain in popularity, in-part because of rising gas prices," said Kevin Mehigh, president, Air Lift. "Half-ton trucks are also in greater demand because RV makers have created more half-ton towing fifth wheels and sliding hitches. Our ongoing goal is to deliver the high-quality, easily installed suspension systems our customers want."
Air Lift's new adjustable suspension solutions for half-ton applications are available for the following vehicles:
* 2007-2014 Chevy/GMC Silverado/Sierra 1500 GMT 900, 2WD and 4WD
* 2002-2008 Dodge Ram 1500, half-ton pickup 2WD & 4WD
* 2004-2014 Ford F-150, half-ton pickup (new body) 2WD & 4WD
Leading the industry in suspension solutions, Air Lift offers more choices for half-ton trucks than any other air spring kit manufacturer, with half-ton solutions available in its AirCell(tm) line, a maintenance-free microcellular urethane spring for vehicles with constant loads; RideCONTROL(tm) kits for half-ton, SUV, CUV and mini pickups with leaf springs; LoadLifter5000(tm) heavy-duty air spring kits; and LoadLifter5000(tm) ULTIMATE air spring kits, with an exclusive internal jounce bumper for the ultimate in ride comfort and safety.

DC Alias Lite Skate Shoe
These shoes are great, they look good with shorts and pants. My little boy seems to really like them. He never complains about the fit, so I assume they fit him well and feel good on his feet. I think the colors are as pictured, but they are not overwhelmingly bright in person.


text: My Zimlet is finally working nicely; now it's time to spruce it up. Basically, it's a (Javascript) Zimlet that makes a few Ajax calls to JSP pages, that in turn call Java code that accesses an external database and also calls a RESTful API. To help our IT department with maintaining the thing, I'd like to put the database info (user name, passwords, table names, URLs, etc) in a properties file instead of hard coding. The thing is, I have no idea where to put the properties file. Do I zip it into the zimlet and let Zimbra handle things? Put it somewhere in the Jetty directory? Something else?
