The first benefit of HyperGamma is natural skin rendition. Look at the natural skin rendition of the male actor. In scenes where you use high contrast lighting, HyperGamma keeps a very natural colour rendition of the skin tones, from low key to high key areas. This will be explained in detail later.

Hey, I'm looking to get a road bike and I found a killer deal on a bianchi vigorelli (2004, $1199). Problem is, I'm moving to SF where I'll be car-less and I'm planning to use it as a commuter, transportation and a weekend warrior, and I'm worried that a nice road bike would be limiting. Meaning that I wouldn't want to ride it downtown, lock it up for the afternoon while I look around and eat lunch and then come back to it 6 hours later. Or ride it to a bar and leave it until one or two in the morning in the mission district. But I don't want to buy a crap bike and not enjoy my weekend road rides as much because I'm afraid of getting it stolen! And before you suggest it, two bikes are out of the question. I already have a rocky mountain XC and a singlespeed mountain bike. Four bikes and I might as well have a car. Are you all just going to tell me to get a cross check?
Any thoughts on theft, security and riding nice bikes to nasty places?

Kichwamba Group
She is married with four children, all of them at school. Her husband was working with government but ran mad and left all the children and wife helpless; this forced her to start a small-scale business of trading in coffee and produce with the purpose of helping the children and the other two orphans she takes care of who lost their parents.
She works daily for eight hours. She also does farming apart from the business she started in 2004. She serves the rural population around her home.
Rovina is going to use the loan money for buying beans and coffee for selling. Her hopes are in the future of her children, for whom she labors much to see that they are educated. Her major challenge is getting school fees for her children, given her meager incomes from the business. She hopes that the bank will continue financing her business because it's her only source of supporting the business.
Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is part of UGAFODE's program for clients who live in isolated rural areas with limited access to financial services. Uniquely, UGAFODE focuses its efforts on agricultural areas in Uganda that are over 50 km from their branches, providing loans to both groups and individual borrowers. The organization believes that the risk of offering services to remote clients is outweighed by the benefits to customers and their often underserved communities.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

A Nineveh resident was arrested late Tuesday night after a police chase that reached speeds of more than 90 mph.
Zeke Sizemore, 21, was arrested on a charge of fleeing with a vehicle. He had been traveling southbound on Nineveh Road and going 18 mph over the speed limit at about 10:45 p.m. When a police car turned its lights on and started to follow him, he sped up, turned west on County Road 700S and turned off his lights to hide from the officer, according to the police report.
The officer caught up with Sizemore, who stopped and said he was scared of being arrested for drunken driving. He had a blood alcohol level of 0.65 percent at the time of the arrest, the report said.
Sizemore, 8672 S. Ayres Drive, was taken to the Johnson County jail, where he was released on $3,000 bond.

Additional Information
About Cooperativa San JoseThis loan is administered by Cooperativa San Jose, a 45,000-member credit union located high in the Andes Mountains of Ecuador's poorest province, Bolivar. They offer a unique loan called "Ventanillas Rurales" [Window to the Countryside], which uses a group guarantee but is an individual loan with a savings component, mostly to rural borrowers. Due to low savings rates and a history of macroeconomic instability, many traditional loans in Ecuador demand interest rates that are prohibitively high for some borrowers. There is also a high incidence of extortionist black-market lending in Ecuador. CSJ helps mitigate these problems by providing a less onerous and more appropriate option. Join CSJ's Lending Team!
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

This makes a beautiful dessert presentation for a pot-luck. The dessert was so attractive that there was none left after the party was over. The flavor was enjoyed by everyone and I think the Pomogranate is just different enough to intrigue guests into trying the dessert. It was easy to make and very rewarding to share with my guests. The orange sections should be cut into thirds or fourths rather than in half though. Otherwise the larger size of the fruit breaks up the Jell-o.

Multi-Tiered Playoffs and Their Impact on Professional Baseball
Boronico, Jess S., The American Statistician
Professional baseball has recently witnessed a radical shift in fan support. This is due, in part, to the 1994 professional baseball strike and the inability of baseball management and the player's union to successfully negotiate a new collective bargaining agreement. The resulting loss of fan support has led to unprecedented reform in the hope that professional baseball may regain part of the market share lost to other competitive team sports.
One area of reform involves an expanded playoff structure, first introduced in 1995. The long standing policy of two divisional champions competing head to head in a best-of-seven playoff series, with the winner advancing to the World Series, has been replaced with a two-tiered wildcard playoff format. This format involves pairing off three divisional winners and one wildcard entrant in a best-of-five series, with the winners meeting in a best-of-seven playoff series; the survivor advances to the World Series.
This article investigates the statistical impact of the wildcard series. An allocation rule is developed for the distribution of a specified number of games between two tiers so as to maximize the likelihood that the team with the highest regular season winning percentage advances to the World Series. Results are not intuitive and indicate that the current best-of-five followed by a best-of-seven format used in professional baseball may not satisfy this objective, and increase the likelihood of an upset. Similar findings regarding statistical bias against better teams also applies to divisional play (Weiss 1986).
Other factors may also influence the likelihood of upsets. For example, between 1969-1995, professional baseball has produced only four teams that have won 65% of their regular season games, although the National Hockey league, National Basketball Association, and National Football League had three, six, and five .650 teams, respectively, during the 1994-1995 season alone. Perhaps the simple truth is that teams in professional baseball are not as dominant as in other sports, and what might be perceived as dominant in baseball might simply be considered above average elsewhere. The adage that "any team can win on a given day" may have more of a foundation in professional baseball than other sports, and partially explain why playoff upsets in baseball occur with some regularity: For the 25 regular seasons between 1969 to 1993 inclusive, the playoff team with the highest winning percentage has won the World Series only eight times (32%).
The study of pennants and playoffs was initially investigated by Mosteller (1951), who considers the probability that the better team wins a conventional seven-game world series. Gibbons, Olkin, and Sobel (1978) built on these results, concluding that a seven-game series is not sufficient to provide high levels of confidence that the winner is in fact the better team, a result supported by simulation findings (James, Albert, and Stern 1993). Hurley (1993) considered optimal pairings in tournaments and the home-field advantage in playoffs. This article extends these findings in considering how the inclusion of a wildcard round impacts on playoff results.
The format of the article is as follows: Section 2 considers a basic one-tier playoff format, the results of which are extended in Section 3 to a two-tiered playoff structure. Analysis of results and an allocation rule is developed in Section 4; Section V concludes the article.
Consider a one-game playoff series, similar to the Super Bowl in professional football. Assume that the better team, defined as the team with the higher regular season winning percentage (team A), is expected to beat their opponent (team B) 60% of the time. Obviously, if a one-game series is played, there exists a 40% chance for an upset. To decrease this chance, a longer series may be considered. …

Is there any kind of plugin that would allow me to compress categories in any way? Ideally, I'd like to click a link and see several categories drop down. I know there is a way to create a drop-down list for all categories. But if creating a drop down, I'd need to create 12 drop-downs, so this is not the ideal method.
The problem I'm trying to overcome is one of organization and usability. I'm planning to use blog categories to store writing assignments for an English class I teach. Each class, students will submit four separate blog posts. After 12 classes, that'll be 36 categories! You'll have to scroll to see them all. I am looking for a way to compress them under Week 1, Week 2, and so forth. Any ideas? Thanks,

Carter County Health Department provides services which reduce the number of vaccine-preventable diseases. Vaccines are responsible for the control of many infectious diseases that were once common in this country. However, the viruses and bacteria that cause vaccine-preventable diseases and death still exist and can be passed on to people who are not protected by vaccines. Vaccine-preventable diseases have a costly impact, resulting in doctors visits, hospitalizations, and premature deaths. Sick children can also cause parents to lose time from work.
We offer Immunizations to all persons without regard to religion, race, color, national origin, creed, disability, or sex.
All of the childhood immunizations are offered at no cost to you if you have no insurance. If you have SoonerCare/Medicaid, we ask that you bring your child's medical card. For clients with private insurance we also ask that you bring your insurance card with you the day of service.
For adults we offer:
Tetanus, which should be updated every ten years. There is no charge for this vaccine.
Tetanus with Pertussis (TDAP), Varicella (Chickenpox), and MMR (Measles, Mumps, and Rubella) are also offered at no charge.
Meningitis Vaccine is free to clients ages 19 and over who have no insurance coverage regardless of income. .
Gardasil (HPV) vaccine is free to clients age 19-26 who have no insurance coverage regardless of income.
Pneumonia vaccine is free to clients below age 65 who do not have insurance coverage regardless of income. Clients who have private insurance will need to provide their insurance card and we will submit a claim to your insurance. If the claim is denied you may receive a bill for the cost of the vaccine.

How do you get kerosene out of household carpeting? How do you get rid of the smell? It was a big spill probably 1-5 gallons.
Kristy from NH
the kerosene will soak down into the pad and then into the floor. With this much amount you need to do the following....
(1) use a shop vac to extract as much of the kerosene as possible
(2) depending on where the stain is - you need to pull the carpet up and remove the padding underneath it - the padding needs to be thrown out
(3) clean the floor under the carpet and pad - if it soaked into the wood floor - you may need to use a sealer "kilz" from home depot to eliminate the stain
"kitty litter" will work good to soak up some of the kerosene - let the cat litter sit for a period of time
(4) replace the soaked pad with new - and then re-lay carpet and then clean the carpets with a steamer....
Hope this helps
a spill that big would probably require a professional with pro-cleaning formula's and a high powered wet vac system.
you may have to pull up the carpet. the pad and the floor underneath are saturated too. even with the carpet out the wood would need to be cleaned well and possibly sealed with kilz or something like that.
I just did the same thing..did you ever get the smell out of the carpet and thru the house? if you did please share how? I have to work in my house and the smell is over bearing and I have two small children and two cats. I'm stayin somewhere at night so my kids don't get sick. Please help
I just really need to know how to get the stains out?
Uh, Robert - even though Kerosene is combustible and not flammable, it is a REALLY bad idea to suck fuel into an electric motor.

Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D Artist needs a modeller - please give quote http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=48387&th=9516#msg_48387 <![CDATA[Hi everyone,
 I have a project coming up where I will need a modeller to prepare piece to be printed at shapeways.
 The design is not finalized yet but I would like to get a rough idea of the cost of modelling.
 We will print in aluminium. A 2d sketches (hand drawn and in Illustrator) will be provided to illustrate the design. Some creativity combined with knowledge of shapeways guidelines to optimize the printing results will be required. We might also work together on fine tuning the design for manufacturing process so account for that. I have experience in traditional metal casting but no previous 3d printing experience so your expertise in the field is critical.
 If the project is successful, there is strong potential for more work coming your ways in future.

 About the design:
 It is going to be hollow, relatively complex - organic, soft forms ie. tree roots, nervous system. About 10-12 cm high cylindrical form. Make sure to mention your experience and ideally attach some portfolio. Quote your best guess price - I realize that it may have to be slightly adjusted. ]]> apca 2012-05-14T16:57:52-00:00 Re: Artist needs a modeller - please give quote http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=48391&th=9516#msg_48391 <![CDATA[PM Sent]]> CADNinja 2012-05-14T17:17:11-00:00 Re: Artist needs a modeller - please give quote http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=48411&th=9516#msg_48411 <![CDATA[hi,

How might cutaneous mastocytosis be treated?
Although there is currently no cure for cutaneous mastocytosis, treatments are available to manage the symptoms of the condition. In general, it is recommended that affected people avoid things that trigger or worsen their symptoms when possible. Certain medications such as oral antihistamines and topical steroids are often prescribed to relieve symptoms. Affected adults may also undergo photochemotherapy which can help alleviate itching and improve the appearance of the patches; however, the condition is likely to recur within six to twelve months of the last treatment. People at risk for anaphylactic shock and/or their caregivers should be trained in how to recognize and treat this life-threatening reaction and should carry an epinephrine autoinjector at all times.[1][2][3]

1. Field of the Invention
The subject invention generally relates to improvements in manhole inserts and, more particularly, mechanisms for removing such inserts.
2. Designs of the Prior Art
Various types and styles of manhole inserts are known in the prior art. These devices are intended to prevent surface water from draining to underground vaults, underground passageways and sewer systems. Basically, the inserts have a dish-shaped body and a flange connected to the edge of the body. The flange engages the manway such that the dish-shaped body is suspended in the manway at times when access through the manway is not required. Fluids are captured in the body of the insert. Examples are shown and described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,621,623; 4,305,679; 4,650,365; 5,382,113; and 5,401,114.
Manhole inserts known in the prior art have included various mechanisms for removing the insert when it was desired to have access past the manway. Examples of various handles and straps are shown in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,919,564 and 5,062,735 and International Publication No. WO 91/16505. However, these structures present various disadvantages and difficulties.
For example, when the insert contains water, it is heavy and relatively difficult to lift by means of handles such as those commonly used in the prior art. Moreover, persons who are required to stoop over to grasp and lift a handle on such an insert are exposed to the risk of painful back injuries and other safety risks. Additionally, if the water in the insert is covered by an oil sheen, the internal structure of the insert is visually obscured and it is often difficult to locate the handle. Moreover, it becomes more awkward and difficult to grasp such handles because they are slippery. Finally, the prior art handle mechanisms did not work well or were even incompatible with J-hooks or similar devices that were intended to provide better mechanical advantage for persons attempting to extract the insert.
Accordingly, there was a need in the prior art for an improved mechanism and method by which to remove manhole inserts from manways.
In accordance with the subject invention, a manhole insert includes pins that are rigidly connected to the insert to provide convenient means for grappling the insert to remove it from the manhole. The insert includes offset sections that are integral with the bottom of the insert. The offset sections receive the ends of the pins which are thus connected to the insert. The offset sections also have one edge that intersects the collar that forms the side of the insert at a location that is closer to the top of the insert than the portions of the bottom that are adjacent to the offset sections. This structure allows the inserts to be efficiently formed in accordance with commercial molding techniques.
Preferably the bottom of the insert is contoured to provide load support strength and to avoid contact between the bottom and the manhole cover. The insert bottom has an inner surface with a generally convex contour and an outer surface with a generally concave contour. Alternatively, the bottom includes a conical frustum in combination with an inverted cone.
Other details, objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent in the following description of the presently preferred embodiment proceeds.
Several presently preferred embodiments of the subject invention as shown in the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the manhole insert herein described with gusset used to retain removal pins;
FIG. 2 is a plan view of the insert shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is cross-sectional elevation of the insert shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 taken along the lines 3--3 of FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the manhole insert herein described with raised sections used to retain removal pins;
FIG. 5 is a plan view of the insert shown in FIG. 4; and
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional elevation of this insert shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 taken along the lines 6--6 of FIG. 5.
A preferred embodiment of a manhole insert is shown in FIGS. 1-3 wherein a collar or band 10 has a radial inner surface 12 and a radial outer surface 14. Radial inner surface 12 is a continuous surface that is bounded by a first edge 16 and a second edge 18. Similarly, radial outer surface 14 is a continuous surface that is bounded by a first edge 20 and a second edge 22. First edge 16 of inner surface 12 is located oppositely from first edge 20 of outer surface 14 such that a first longitudinal end 24 of band 10 is defined between edges 16 and 20. Second edge 18 of inner surface 12 is located oppositely from second edge 22 of outer surface 14 such that a second longitudinal end 26 of band 10 is defined between edges 18 and 22.
A substantially circular flange or rim 28 is defined between an inside diameter edge 30 and an outside diameter edge 32. Inside diameter edge 30 of rim 28 is connected to first longitudinal end 24 of band 10.
In the preferred embodiment shown in FIGS. 1-3, the bottom of the manhole insert includes a ring-shaped bottom 34 having an outer diameter edge 36 and an inner diameter edge 38. Outer diameter edge 36 is connected to second longitudinal end 26 of collar 10. Inner diameter edge 38 is connected to a conical frustum 40. Conical frustum 40 includes a continuous, cone-shaped outer surface 42 that is located between a base edge 44 and a top edge 46. Frustum 40 is connected at base edge 44 to inner diameter edge 38 of ringshaped bottom 34.
Inverted cone 48 has a continuous outer surface 50 that is located between a base end 52 and an apex 54. Base end 52 is connected to top edge 46 of frustum 40. Inverted cone 48 is oriented in an opposite sense with respect to frustum 40 such that the slope of the continuous outer surface of cone 48 is in an opposite sense with respect to the slope of the continuous outer surface of frustum 40. It has been found that the combination of frustum 40 and cone 48 provides a rigid bottom for the insert. In addition, the structure of frustum 40 and inverted cone 48 affords a structure having a relatively low profile. In this way, there is added clearance from rim 28 and the manhole cover. Thus, when the manhole cover is removed, it is less likely to impact the insert bottom. Moreover, the in the event that the manhole cover contacts the insert bottom, the sloping surface 42 of frustum 40 will allow free movement of the cover across the bottom.
As also shown in FIGS. 1-3, a pressure relief valve 56 is connected to inverted cone 48 at apex 54. Pressure relief value 56 allows gases to pass through in the direction from apex 54 toward base end 52. Thus, relief valve 56 allows any gas pressure under the insert to be relieved before the pressure develops to an unsafe level.
The disclosed insert is further provided with at least two gusset in combination with a pin that is used to remove the insert from the manhole. In the preferred embodiment, two pairs of gusset 58, 60 and 62, 64 are used. Gusset 58, 60 substantially planar shapes that are oriented in parallel relationship with respect to each other and have substantially parallel inboard major surfaces 66, 68 and substantially parallel outboard major surfaces 70, 72 respectively. Similarly, gusset 62, 64 are substantially planar shapes that are oriented in parallel relationship with respect to each other having substantially parallel inboard major surfaces 74, 76 and substantially parallel outboard major surfaces 78, 80 respectively.
Gusset 58, 60 have respective holes 82, 84 that are aligned on a common axis 86. In the preferred embodiment, axis 86 is substantially normal to major surfaces 66, 68, and 70, 72. Similarly, gusset 62, 64 have respective holes 88, 90 that are aligned on a common axis 92 that is substantially normal to major surfaces 74, 76 and 78, 80.
A pin 94 extends through holes 82, 84 and another pin 96 extends through holes 88, 90. Pin 94 is retained in holes 82, 84 by fastening means such as spring clips 98, 100 that are secured to pin 94 adjacent to respective outboard sides 70, 72. Similarly, pin 96 is retained in holes 88, 90 by spring clips 102, 104 that are secured to pin 96 adjacent to respective outboard sides 78, 80. In this way, pins 94 and 96 are retained in gusset 58, 60 and 62, 64 respectively.
Gusset 58, 60 and 62, 64 are secured to radial inner surface 12 of band 10 and to ring-shaped bottom 34. Preferably, gusset 58, 60 are located on radial inner surface 12 such that the angular position of gusset 58, 60 is substantially 180 degrees apart from the angular position of gusset 62, 64.
As will be apparent to those skilled in the art, gusset 58, 60 and pin 94 or gusset 62, 64 and pin 96 provide a convenient structure to attach J-hooks or other equivalent devices for the purpose of removing the insert from the manhole. Thus, gusset 58, 60 and 62, 64 replace handles and straps such as known to the prior art.
An alternative preferred embodiment of the subject invention is shown and described in connection with FIG. 4-6. As shown therein, an annular collar 110 has an inner radial surface 112 with a first edge 114 and a second edge 116. Collar 110 also has an outer radial surface 118 with a first edge 120 and a second edge 122. First edge 114 is oppositely disposed from first edge 120 and first edges 114, 120 cooperate to define a first longitudinal end 124 of collar 110. Second edge 116 is oppositely disposed from second edge 122 and second edges 116, 122 cooperate to define a second longitudinal end 126 of collar 110.
A ring 128 includes an inner diameter edge 130 and an outer diameter edge 132. Inner diameter edge 130 of ring 128 is connected to first longitudinal end 124 of collar 110.
As further shown in FIG. 4-6, a bottom panel 134 has a perimeter edge 136 that is connected to second longitudinal end 126 of collar 110. Bottom panel 134 closes the second longitudinal end 126 of collar 110 and has an inside surface 138 that is generally convex and an outside surface 140 that is generally concave. By this structure, bottom panel 134 can better support loadings at times when the insert contains water. In addition, this structure allows for flexure and expansion of the bottom panel 134 in response to freezing of water that has collected in the insert.
Bottom panel 134 further includes two pairs of offset sections 142, 144 and 146, 148. Offset sections 142 and 146 are first offset sections of the respective pairs and offset sections 144 and 148 are second offset sections of the respective pairs. First offset sections 142 and 146 include edges 150 and 154 respectively that are also sections of perimeter edge 136. Second offset sections 144 and 148 include edges 152 and 156 respectively that are also sections of perimeter edge 136. Edges 150, 152, 154 and 156 are offset in that they are joined with collar 110 at a location that is closer to first longitudinal end 124 of collar 110 then other portions of perimeter edge 136.
The insert in FIGS. 4-6 further includes a rigid member such as pins 158, 160 with pin 158 having ends 162, 164 and with pin 160 having ends 166, 168. The length of pins 158, 160 is selected in correspondence with the lateral dimension D1 between first sections 142, 146 and second sections 144, 148, such that end 162 of pin 158 is received in a recess of first section 142 and the opposite end 164 of pin 158 is received in a recess of second section 144. Similarly, one end 166 of pin 160 is received in a recess of first section 146 and the opposite end 168 of pin 160 is received in a recess of second section 148. In this way, pin 158 is secured to offset sections 142 and 144 and pin 160 is secured to offset sections 146 and 148. Pins 158 and 160 are thereby presented for engagement by a J-hook or similar tool as will be familiar of those skilled in the art.
In the example of this preferred embodiment of FIG. 4-6, the top surfaces of sections 142 and 144 generally cooperate to define a sector of the inner radial surface 112 of collar 110. Similarly, the top surfaces of sections 146 and 148 also generally cooperate to define a sector of the inner radial surface 112 of collar 110.
Also in the example of the preferred embodiment of FIG. 4-6, offset sections 142 and 144 include walls 170 and 172 respectively. Walls 170 and 172 are generally oriented parallel with respect to each other and contain recesses 174 and 177 respectively. Similarly, offset sections 146 and 148 include walls 178 and 180 respectively. Walls 178 and 180 are generally oriented parallel with respect to each other and contain recesses 182 and 184 respectively. This structure allows for easy access with J-hooks and similar tools.
In the operation of the subject invention, the insert is placed in the manway to capture water and other foreign matter. When there is a need to enter the vault or other area, the manhole cover is removed. The pins of the insert are then grappled with J-hooks or equivalent devices and the insert is removed.
While presently preferred embodiment of the invention disclosed herein have been shown and described, the invention is not limited thereby, but may be otherwise variously embodied within the scope of the following claims.

Own a Hyundai Verna [2011-2015]? Help others make an informed buying decision.

I have owned an Alto and then a WagonR till I decided to buy this new sedan from - "Hyundai Verna".
I have always been very apprehensive about Hyundai cars (or shud I say biased for Japanese cars). When I decided to upgrade to a sedan, I had the Aveo in my mind, for its pure majestic build and looks. Since I was upgrading too soon to sedan (third car in three years), I had to be very careful in choosing the car as I plan not to change for next 5 years.....
I test drove Indigo(Diesel), Aveo, Fiesta, City and Verna (in that...

When you buy a what are the important things you should consider?
1) Design: Check if it's aerodynamic or a rectangular box. Design with more drag coefficient means you eventually going to burn more fuel.
2) Engine, gearbox and power: This is where your 60% of money is going to be invested. Engine should be enough powerful to pull car's own weight without any effort. Gears should run engine at it's sweet spot providing good speed.
3) Suspension, sitting comfort, steering control: Gives stability over road, 30% of your money is going to be invested here. Body should not roll.
4)Interior Gadgets: Electronics, technology fades by time, what's new today will get old tomorrow. Even though you don't have CD player, It's not going to impact performance of your car. Race / Rally cars don't have such things, still they perform. Just 10% of your money is going here.

Exterior Simply amazing! The car has a very strong appeal and is surely a head-turner. The contours are very well defined and is a real treat to the eyes. The fog lamps with the boomerang design and the headlights similar to eagle eyes simply stand out. The bumper however is a little fragile and may even crack at the slightest of impact.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The car has all the features to have you smiling. The reverse camera, bluetooth connectivity, steering mounted...

ST. LOUIS -- Sam Bradford is learning quickly, and these St. Louis Rams are far from the same team that won only one game last season.
The rookie quarterback threw two touchdown passes Sunday, the defense forced four turnovers and St. Louis reached the season's midway point at 4-4 and in contention in the NFC West after beating the Carolina Panthers 20-10.
|More on Panthers-Rams
|Related links
Bradford threw a 2-yard scoring pass to Danny Amendola in the second quarter and a 23-yard touchdown pass to Daniel Fells in the fourth quarter. He was 25 for 32 for 191 yards and no interceptions, with a season-best quarterback rating of 112.4.
"I felt very comfortable out there today, probably the most comfortable I've felt," said Bradford, the No. 1 overall pick in the draft. "I think the game is really slowing down for me."
St. Louis goes into its bye week with more wins than the previous two seasons combined -- the Rams were 2-14 in 2008 before last season's NFL-worst 1-15 record.
It could be even better. St. Louis has surrendered more than 17 points just once and lost two games after leading in the fourth quarter.
Coach Steve Spagnuolo isn't worrying about what could have been.
"Everything that we had in front of us is still there," Spagnuolo said. "The NFC West is the first focus and we'll go from there."
Things aren't so rosy for Carolina (1-6). Matt Moore was 23 for 37 for 194 yards. One of his three interceptions, and a fumble by Steve Smith, led to 10 St. Louis points in the fourth quarter.
"You're just not going to win games, especially on the road, when you turn it over that many times, so it was frustrating," Carolina coach John Fox said.
Fox gave Moore a vote of confidence -- sort of -- when asked if he'll start next week against New Orleans.
"I think right now Matt gives us our best chance," Fox said. "We'll evaluate it after we look at the tape. We've got to do something to be better and execute more consistently on offense."
The Panthers, who entered the game ranked next-to-last in total offense, mustered just 201 total yards. They missed Pro Bowl running back DeAngelo Williams, out with a foot injury suffered in last weekend's win over San Francisco. His replacement, Jonathan Stewart, carried 14 times for 30 yards. Overall, the Panthers rushed 17 times for 25 yards.
|CBSSports.com Grades
|Carolina Panthers
|The Panthers entered the game with a minus-6 turnover ratio, which was sixth-worst in the league. They had four turnovers on Sunday and Matt Moore crashed hard following a 308-yard performance a week earlier by throwing three INTs. Carolina had just 25 rushing yards on 17 attempts.
|St. Louis Rams
|The Rams defense forced four turnovers and the offense took care of the ball in winning their fourth straight home game. Rookie QB Sam Bradford has not thrown an interception in 96 attempts. He finished Sunday�s game with a passer rating of 112.4.

Still, Carolina had the ball at midfield, down 10-3 with a chance to tie early in the fourth quarter. But Smith fumbled after catching a pass and Chris Long recovered, giving St. Louis the ball at the Carolina 43.
Five plays later, on third-and-18, Bradford rolled to his right and connected with Fells in stride, and he went into the end zone to make it 17-3.
James Hall hit Moore's arm on Carolina's next possession, causing the pass to be intercepted by James Butler, setting up a field goal to make it 20-3.
Carolina scored with 3:37 to play on Moore's 17-yard pass to Brandon LaFell.
After a sluggish first quarter -- both teams combined for four first downs and 44 yards -- St. Louis opened the scoring on Josh Brown's 33-yard field goal early in the second quarter. The kick ended a scoreless drought for St. Louis from the second quarter of last week's 18-17 loss at Tampa Bay.
The Rams made it 10-0 with 2:07 to go in the half on Bradford's short pass to Amendola. Carolina responded with a drive ending with John Kasay's 44-yard field goal in the final minute of the half.
Rams linebacker James Laurinaitis had eight tackles, one sack and one interception. Long had a sack, a fumble recovery and a forced fumble.
Laurinaitis said the defensive toughness is a reflection of Spagnuolo, the second-year coach who was defensive coordinator for the Giants' Super Bowl-winning team.
"He's a tough guy who preaches playing with heart and passion and that's what these guys do," Laurinaitis said.
The Rams' Steven Jackson, playing with a broken ring finger on his left hand, rushed 23 times for 59 yards.
- The Rams retired Isaac Bruce's No. 80 in a pregame ceremony that included several of Bruce's teammates and former coaches Dick Vermeil and Mike Martz. Martz, now offensive coordinator for the Bears, was able to attend because Chicago had a bye week.
- The Rams and Panthers combined for just 447 total yards.
- Jackson's injury clearly hampered his ability as a receiver. He came out in obvious passing situations. He caught just one pass, for 4 yards, and did so one-handed.

Any casual visitor to Seattle art galleries can experience some serious sticker shock. A painting, photograph or sculpture, even in some of the pokiest places, can strike you as downright museumworthy. But if you don't have $15,000 or $30,000 burning a hole in your pocket, the idea of owning it can feel like pure fiscal fantasy.
Enter the Affordable Art Fair, which got its start in London in 1996 and now has franchised itself in a dozen cities around the world. The Seattle edition, enjoying its second year here, fills Seattle Center Exhibition Hall through Sunday, and includes work from almost 50 art galleries. Fourteen of them are local, including Foster/White, G. Gibson, James Harris and Linda Hodges galleries. The rest are from various states, Britain, Brazil, Italy, Chile, Australia, Canada, South Korea and Spain.
Prices range from $100 to $10,000 (half of the works are priced at under $5,000). Quality varies, naturally, but chances are good you'll find something that tickles your fancy. You may even find work by a rising artist whose prices won't stay this low for long.
The fair also features workshops, children's activities and lectures, including a talk by Seattle artist Whiting Tennis at 3:30 p.m. Saturday and one by Studio Syria founder Jean Bradbury at 3:30 p.m. Sunday, when she'll discuss her art workshops with refugees from Syria's civil war.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- Most valuable player Shanequa Phifer scored 14 points and led a strong defensive effort as Salisbury defeated East Bladen 49-37 Saturday in the Class 2-A North Carolina High School Athletic Association women's championship at Reynolds Coliseum.
It was the second consecutive Class 2-A title for the Hornets (29-0). The Eagles (29-1) were runners-up in the Class 1-A final last year.
Salisbury led 28-20 at the half and pulled away in the third quarter, outscoring East Bladen 14-4 and forcing eight turnovers. The Eagles had 24 turnovers for the game.
Jessica Heilig grabbed 10 rebounds and added six points for Salisbury.
East Bladen center Courtney Melvin lead all scorers with 17 points and 12 rebounds. Forward Jazmine Kemp added 13 points.

The American Board of Internal Medicine Foundation, nine U.S. specialty medical societies, and Consumer Reports have partnered in a new initiative called Choosing Wisely™. The goal of the initiative is to help physicians, patients, and other healthcare stakeholders start thinking and talking about the overuse or misuse of medical tests and procedures that provide little benefit—and, in some instances, harm.
Each participating medical society was charged with identifying five tests or procedures commonly used in their field that should be "red flags" for further discussion. The resulting lists represent specific, evidence-based recommendations that physicians and patients should discuss to help make wise decisions about the most appropriate care based on their individual situation. Each society's five-question list provides information as to when the tests and procedures may be appropriate, as well as the methodology used in creating each list.
Some of the recommendations presented by the various medical societies include:
- Don't do imaging for low back pain within the first 6 weeks, unless red flags are present. (American Academy of Family Physicians)
- Don't routinely do diagnostic testing in patients with chronic urticaria. (American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology).
- Don't perform stress cardiac imaging or advanced noninvasive imaging in the initial evaluation of patients without cardiac symptoms unless high-risk markers are present. (American College of Cardiology)
- Don't obtain imaging studies in patients with nonspecific low back pain. (American College of Physicians)
- Don't do imaging for uncomplicated headache. (American College of Radiology)
- Don't repeat colorectal cancer screening (by any method) for 10 years after a high-quality colonoscopy is negative in average-risk individuals. (American Gastroenterological Association)
- Don't perform PET, CT, and radionuclide bone scans in the staging of early prostate cancer at low risk for metastasis. (American Society of Clinical Oncology)
- Don't perform routine cancer screening for dialysis patients with limited life expectancies without signs or symptoms. (American Society of Nephrology)
- Don't perform cardiac imaging for patients who are at low risk. (American Society of Nuclear Cardiology)
The full list of partners and their lists of five questions are available at www.choosingwisely.org.

Quiet Loud (Leslie Patricelli board books)
by Leslie Patricelli
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I've tried and tried to read this book without upsetting my son with all the sudden dynamic shifts but without success, and I choose to blame mostly the book and not his high-strung nerves or my ineptitude as a dramatic reader.
(Hmmm, judging from the other reviews he's maybe meant to be too young for it still, but come on, people, we have to challenge them.)
As you probably guessed from the title, this board book focuses on the opposites pair of quiet and loud. Although it's a fairly basic and short book, it does a great job of illustrating the concepts. Each spread shows one quiet thing and one loud thing - i.e., whispering and shouting, a turtle and a monkey, etc. The text is simple and easy to read and understand but is more comprehensive than some board books that simply show a single word per page. The book stands well on its own, but it also is a real hit with some improvisation (i.e., acting out the monkey, etc.). The toddlers in my class absolutely loved this book. One looked at the cover before we started reading and already realized what the book would be about in part, letting out a pretend scream. They all sat in rapt attention to the book and asked to hear it over and over again.
This is a fun and humorous board book to read aloud. The protagonist is a baby who describes various activities as either quiet and loud, such as thinking (quiet) and singing (loud). The illustrations are simple with bright colors and each page a different background color. You can do a lot with this book--act out the various quiet and loud activities, ask the child to guess which is quiet, or which is loud, or even talk about the colors and illustrations.
Children learn the difference between quiet and loud with an adorable and expressive toddler.
Ages 18m-3yrs
A toddler is acting out opposites.

Sniffles are quiet, but sneezes are loud. Amiably illustrated in a bright, graphic style, Leslie Patricelli's spirited board book, QUIET LOUD, stars an obliging, bald, and very expressive toddler who acts out each pair of opposites with comically dramatic effect.
