Neuroblastoma - Childhood - Coping with Side Effects [1]
ON THIS PAGE: You will find out more about steps to take to help cope with physical, social, and emotional side effects. This page includes several links outside of this guide to other sections of this website. To see other pages, use the menu on the side of your screen.
Fear of treatment side effects [3] is common after a diagnosis of a tumor, but it may be helpful to know that preventing and controlling side effects is a major focus of your child's health care team. This is called palliative care, and it is an important part of the overall treatment plan, regardless of the stage of the disease.
There are possible side effects for every cancer treatment, but patients don't experience the same side effects when given the same treatments for many reasons. That can make it hard to predict exactly how your child will feel during treatment.
Common side effects for each treatment option are described in detail within the Treatment Options [4] section. Learn more about the most common side effects of cancer and different treatments, along with ways to prevent or control them [5].
The specific side effects that can occur depend on a variety of factors, including:
The type of cancer
Its location
The individual treatment plan, including the length and dosage of treatment
Your child's overall health
Talking with your health care team about side effects
Before treatment begins, talk with your child's doctor about possible side effects of the specific treatments your child will receive. Ask which side effects are most likely to happen and which are not, when side effects are likely to occur, and what can be done to prevent or relieve them.
And, ask about the level of caregiving your child may need during treatment and recovery, as family members and friends often play an important role in the care of a child with neuroblastoma. Learn more about caregiving [6].
In addition to physical side effects, there may be emotional and social effects as well. Patients and their families are encouraged to share their feelings with a member of their health care team who can help with coping strategies [7], including concerns about managing the cost of your child's cancer care [8].
During and after treatment, be sure to tell the health care team about the side effects your child experiences, even if you feel they are not serious. Sometimes, side effects can last beyond the treatment period, called a long-term side effect. A side effect that occurs months or years after treatment is called a late effect [9]. Treatment of both types of effects is an important part of survivorship care. Learn more by reading the Follow-up Care [10] section of this guide or talking with your child's doctor.
The next section in this guide is Follow-up Care [10] and it explains the importance of check-ups after cancer treatment is finished. Or, use the menu on the side of your screen to choose another section to continue reading this guide.

Skip to comments.Democrat Vote Fraud: Never Forget
Posted on 03/20/2004 7:57:52 AM PST by WL-law
In an article posted earlier today, What Kerry Can Expect From His Party, authored by Joan Marie Nagy, she says:
The fact that no Democrat insider backed Gore is proof positive that they KNOW Gore lost the election. Even with illegal aliens and Democrat felons voting, Milwaukee derelicts bribed with cigarettes by New York limousine liberals, Philadelphia inner city precincts producing an unbelievable 100 percent turnout, a St. Louis Democrat judge keeping inner city districts open and voting until midnight, and the dead voting in almost every Democrat district--they still lost.
It is important for Freepers to know that she leaves out the best evidence of all of vote fraud in 2000, and we need to keep alive our knowledge of the following best and well-proven evidence of democrat theft here it is:
John Lott's study of the disqualified (double-punched) Florida ballots showed that, in inner-city districts, the republican ballots (there are between 5-10% registered repubs in the inner cities, i.e., black republicans) were fifty to sixty times more likely to be double-punched than were the democratic ballots!!
To put that in perspective, if you assume that 95% of black voters are democrats and 5% republicans, then for every democrat ballot that was double-voted, there were TWO republican ballots that were double-voted, even though the dems outnumbered repubs by a 19-to-1 ratio. This is the ultimate smoking gun of voter fraud, but the press has IGNORED his findings.
Lott's research USED, as its raw data, the information collected by none other than the "USA Today" consortium of press organizations. Yes, this is the very press group that investigated the Florida ballots in a failed attempt to 'prove' that Gore would have won if the votes were recounted -- and their OWN DATA reveals the fraud.
Lott's investigation ties the high repub invalidated ballots to voting precincts controlled by democrat voting officials. The clear inference is that the ballots are collected and segregated by-party, and that someone took the republican pile and spoiled the ballots by "double-voting" them, i.e., punching something through the pile.
The notion that black republicans are fifty times more incompetent at basic voting skills than democratic voters (even though mean incomes, education level, etc, are much higher) is too ludicrous to contemplate.
Remember this, and repeat it whenever dems reverse the facts and claim that the election was stolen from them.
Even with illegal aliens and Democrat felons voting, Milwaukee derelicts bribed with cigarettes by New York limousine liberals, Philadelphia inner city precincts producing an unbelievable 100 percent turnout, a St. Louis Democrat judge keeping inner city districts open and voting until midnight, and the dead voting in almost every Democrat district--they still lost.
In many of those areas it is dangerous for a white Republican to even walk down the street, let alone go into the polling places and demand to see if the results have been tampered with. I doubt there is much that can be done in black areas, where they have had the power to steal votes at will, and get away with it.
Remember, Nixon beat Kennedy. We're still are waiting for the punishment of those who perpetrated that vote fraud.
You do not have to do any segregation by party. If you are a crat operative, you just take all the ballots and make sure the crat spot is punched. Then, if there is a Republican vote, the ballot will be spoiled because there would be votes for two candidates. If it was a Democrat vote, anyway, it will be valid, and you will have simply helped push those pesky chads through.
I have heard that a long thin rod can be put through an entire stack, and I would imagine that this is may well be why they stuck with these kinds of ballots in certain Democrat strongholds.
They don't even have to segregate by-party since all they have to do is re-punch all ballots collected as <"For Gore">. The "For Bush" ballots would become "double voted" and discarded and the "For Gore" ballots would pass through clean and BE COUNTED.
They knew he lost the election, and besides they couldn't even stand him themselves.
What Candidate Kerry Can Expect From His PartyPaperless voting, and in particular, internet voting, is intended to be fraudulent. Fraud, violence, the threat of violence, and of course, straight ticket options on ballots, are all tools of the Democretins.
What a question! Totally ignored by the RNC. Gore stole 5 states and these countryclubclymers can't even climb down from their bar stools to address the issue. Ashcroft's DOJ made damn sure his homestate (MO) got a straight(er) vote, and so did MD. Result: two GOP wins.
Drop in the bucket. What about the illegals registered in CA? What about PA? IL? MN? Between inner city black churches and their notorious van voters, Mexicans, and multiple absentee ballots from the quick AND the dead, the Republicans could blow this election.
Why this issue has no traction is beyond me. The Democrats won control of the Maine legislature by getting one of their judges to simply disqualify 34 voters. The stakes won by fraud are huge!
Instead, our Republican paid operatives accept, ACCEPT the ridiculous "Urban Legend" that Gore wone the popular vote!
This recent primary, in Florida, I was asked for my voter registration card, a picture ID and had to confirm my current address.
Is this procedure now nationwide? If not, Florida is certainly doing a good job of screening voters
I've said a dozen times that Kerry is a stalking horse until the Democrat convention. I honestly believe he will throw his support to Hillary Clinton. The reason I believe this is that Kerry is such a nothing candidate. The Democrats are smarter than this, and I believe the media know it and are going along with it.
Talk about vote fraud! When Hillary gets on the ticket the fraud will be so enormous there will be nothing that can be done. Meanwhile, she'll take her place in the White House and every thing will be hushed up.
Is this procedure now nationwide? If not, Florida is certainly doing a good job of screening voters
I believe that the rules are set up 'by district', rather than statewide. So you end up with repub districts requiring documentation and ID, and dem districts requiring no ID at all.
And you know what happens next...
This factoid has been wandering the net since late 2000. It's simply not true. I have repeatedly challenged anyone to show me one sizeable precinct where it was so, with no response. I have looked personally at every philly precinct -- available from official sources. It's not true. The original source was a Jude Wanniski newsletter, which John Lott picked up in a column. It's like the "massive Black turnout" in Florida, which the Gorebots use to show GOP theft, and some right-wingers use to show Dem cheating. It didn't happen, either. The Fla SOS (Kathryn Harris, remember?), published turnout, by race. Black turnout in Fla was a bit lower than white, and right in line with 4 years earlier.
There are enough real things to worry about, without spreading untruths. I challenge again -- show me one precinct, by number and location, with 99% turnout of several hundred registered voters. 99% of the votes cast for Gore -- YES. 99% of the registered voting -- NO.

Cross-sectional precinct-level data that were compiled by a group of newspapers led by USA Today allow for a much more detailed examination and indeed imply that precincts with more African-American voters have higher rates of nonvoted ballots. But if spoiled ballots do indicate disenfranchisement, then the new data show that, by a dramatic margin, the group most victimized in the Florida voting was African- American Republicans.
The new finding is stunning: African-American Republicans who voted in Florida were in excess of 50 times more likely than the average African American to have had a ballot declared invalid because it was spoiled.
Even to the extent that a relationship exists between race and nonvoted ballot rates, the effect is small. Column 2 in Table 1, which uses only one race-related variable (the number of African Americans in a precinct), implies that adding a thousand more African Americans in a precinct would increase the number of nonvoted ballots by only .25 percent. However, columns 3 and 4 provide some insight into what is being hidden by lumping all African Americans together.
Simply disaggregating by political registration between Republicans and Democrats produces one coefficient that is much larger and one that is much smaller than previously shown with the aggregate number. The estimate for African-American Republicans is so large that using columns 1 and 3 implies that 18 African-American Republicans will produce as many nonvoted ballots as 1,000 randomly selected African Americans. For columns 2 and 4, every 15 African-American Republicans produces as many nonvoted ballots as 1,000 randomly selected African Americans.
While African Americans are registered as Republicans at only about 1/18th the rate that they register as Democrats, the results in columns 14 imply that African-American Republicans are 5466 times more likely than the average African American to produce nonvoted ballots.
Another way of saying this last result is that for every two additional black Republicans in the average precinct, there was one additional spoiled ballot. By comparison, it took an additional 125 African Americans (of any party affiliation) in the average precinct to produce the same result.
While illustrative, selectively including only some of the possible racial and ethnic as well as political affiliations of voters creates a problem because the presence of different groupings is likely to be correlated (either positively or negatively) across precincts, and using only select groupings might falsely attribute some of the variation that is in fact associated with other groupings to only those that are included. To deal with this, the rest of the regressions reported in Tables 1 and 2 use all the remaining information of race, ethnic grouping, and political registration that was provided to me by USA Today.
In order to avoid perfect collinearity with the variable that measures the number of voters in each precinct, I excluded the variable for voters of other races registered to other parties (neither Republican nor Democratic). Including these other groupings does reduce the size of the coefficient for African-American Republicans, but the coefficients in columns 5 and 6 of Table 1 are still substantial when compared with the average effect for African Americans, with a difference of around 5055 times.6 The bottom third of Table 1 tests to see whether the different voter groups have statistically different effects on the number of nonvoted ballots.
What the results show is that African-American Republicans, white Republicans, and Hispanic Republicans have much higher nonvoted ballot rates than African-American Democrats and that all the differences are quite statistically significant. Only for other races is the reverse true, and that difference is very large and also quite statistically significant.
"In Philadelphia, I understand, the numbers are laughable. The population is less than 1.3 million and there are 1 million registered voters, which implies there are almost no children and all the adults are civic-minded. The turnout was 70% on November 7, with some black precincts reporting 100% turnout and 99% for you, and you carried the city by 300,000 votes!! That's roughly 500,000 to 200,000. The explanation I get from Republicans who live there is that there are so few Republicans in the black community that all the precinct workers are Democrats, which makes it easy for voting "irregularities" to appear. I've spoken to a few black political leaders I know who tell me they are not surprised, that "irregularities" may occur whenever one party is so concentrated in an election district. It's hard for them to argue with these numbers."
Thanks for finding the Wanniski quote. Here's the problem. He says:
Population under 1300K
Registration of 1000K
Turnout Over 70% of registration.
If you go to census and SecState figures, you find that, instead, as of 2000,
Population 1518K
Registration 1025K
Turnout 442K Gore + 99K Bush + Minor = Turnout a bit over 50%
So, he's just way off. I've looked at the indivudal ward figures, and the few wards that got into the mid-60s in turnout were mostly the better-off white wards.
There is only ONE thing to do and that is EVERY freeper go to your county clerk and your county party and demand to be a worker, not a poll watcher a poll worker.
Every general poll should have one from each party and depending on how the precinct went for big Rep. or Dem in last race. The Election judge will be from that party and gets to pick the clerks. So even if you are the only conservative at the poll, there is ONE person there to keep an eye on the box all day.
A poll watcher can be thrown out but the alternate judge is there for the day. IF 60,000 freepers did this we can cut the fraud by 75%.
I have heard of a dem election judge notorious for cheating who just had a poll watcher and it was an honest election that time.
WE CAN DO IT but the clerk has to know you are there and willing to work. It is a 12 hour day but how much time do we spend here and concerned citizens.

PUBLISHED Thu Jan 20 14:04:00 EST 2011 0 1 / 8 Heated Compartments Railroad cars carrying some 123 tons of nuclear waste glow red-hot in an infrared picture taken in Valognes (map), France, in November and released by Greenpeace International as part of an antinuclear-power campaign that included arranging protests that delayed the train's progress.The train is hauling a so-called CASTOR convoy, named after the type of container carried: Cask for Storage and Transport Of Radioactive material. These trademarked casks have been used since 1995 to transport nuclear waste from German power plants to France for reprocessing, then back to Germany for storage."High-level waste is in fact hot," said nuclear energy and proliferation expert Matthew Bunn. "It doesn't mean anything in particular in terms of how dangerous it is."(Related pictures: "Leaking Nuclear Waste Fills Former Salt Mine.")—Brian Handwerk Image courtesy Greenpeace Spider-Man Protesters Two antinuclear activists hang from a bridge over a CASTOR train on November 7 near Morschen (map), Germany. A protest the day before drew tens of thousands, adding significant delays to the three-day trip from a processing plant in Cap de la Hague (map), France, to a storage facility in Gorleben (map), Germany.Greenpeace International organized many of the gatherings in the wake of a German-government decision to postpone plant closings. The organization's Nuclear Reaction Weblog claimed the protests "illustrate clearly to the German government and the nuclear industry that their actions to prolong nuclear energy in Germany are taken undemocratically—without the consent of the German people."Writing on the same blog, Rianne Teule, senior climate and energy campaigner for Greenpeace International, said nuclear power "is expensive, poses an unacceptable risk to the environment and to humanity, and will not help in solving the climate problem."(Related: "Can Nuclear Waste Spark an Energy Solution?") Joern Haufe, DAPD/AP "Red Hot" Railcar A CASTOR railcar glows ominously in a thermal image, but the scene shows only that the cars' contents are warm—no hotter than a sweltering summer day—said Matthew Bunn, of Harvard University's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs."The decay of these atoms in the fission products from nuclear reactors releases a fair amount of heat, so [the canister] will look red" in thermal pictures.The CASTOR trains are always hot topics, Bunn added. "For people concerned about the whole issue of nuclear power and whether the disposal or storage of nuclear waste is safe, the trains provide an obvious political symbol."(Related: "Radioactive Rabbit Droppings Help Spur Nuclear Cleanup.")

Activists also chained themselves to the railway tracks, blocked a crossing in Dannenberg with a Greenpeace vehicle camouflaged as a beer truck, and even drove a flock of some 500 sheep onto the tracks. Photograph by Michael Probst, AP Wheels on Fire A nuclear-waste railcar glows red in a thermal image taken at a railway station in Valognes, France, in November.While the heat shown in these thermal pictures poses no danger, Bunn said, there are two potential problems associated with moving nuclear waste by train—safety and security. "The safety issue is what might happen purely by accident. The security issue is what would happen if bad guys try to make something happen."The nuclear waste pictured was originally spent fuel from German power plants. Reprocessing at Cap de la Hague, France, stripped the material of uranium and plutonium, which might have future fuel use. The remainder was made into a solid glass matrix for transport and eventual storage back in Germany. Image courtesy Greenpeace Hot Storage CASTOR containers, filled with processed radioactive waste, sit at a temporary storage facility in Gorleben, Germany, after the long train trip from France.The CASTOR railroad cars and containers are extremely strong—but some level of risk remains with the transport of nuclear waste, Bunn said."What happens if an accident happens that is worse than [the casks] were designed to cope with—a higher-speed accident or a very hot fire?" he asked. "That's the safety issue."The security issue is an attack," Bunn continued. "What if somebody takes a rocket-propelled grenade and uses it to penetrate one of those canisters?"Some studies show that you could do that and spread a little bit of radiation. And if the train happens to be going through an urban area at the time, you could get some nasty human doses."(Related: "Idaho, U.S. Battle Over Nuclear Waste Dump.")

ATLANTA (AP) -- The Philadelphia Phillies didn't like the idea of
being in second place.
One night after falling out of the NL East lead, the Phillies
rallied for their 30th come-from-behind win of the season, a 4-3
victory over the Atlanta Braves in 10 innings Tuesday night.
The Phillies scored two unearned runs in the eighth to tie the
game at 3, then went ahead on Bobby Abreu's RBI single in the 10th.
Billy Wagner escaped a one-out, bases-loaded jam in the bottom
half, retiring Marcus Giles and J.D. Drew to end the game.
"We had to win this game," Wagner said. "It was a must win."
With a 4-2 loss on Monday, Philadelphia fell out of the division
lead for the first time since June 27. The Braves, winners of 12
straight division titles, were poised to stretch their lead to two
games behind another strong outing from Jaret Wright.
But the Phillies came from behind again -- they lead the NL in
that category -- and head home tied for the lead.
"This was a game we definitely needed," manager Larry Bowa
said. "It was a two-game swing."
In the 10th, Jimmy Rollins led off with a single against Antonio
Alfonseca (5-4) and stole second. Chase Utley put down a bunt in
front of the plate, but catcher Eddie Perez bobbled the ball to
leave runners at first and third.
Sam McConnell took over for Alfonseca, but Abreu managed a
single up the middle to put Philadelphia ahead. Shortstop Rafael
Furcal, playing in trying to cut off a run at the plate, dove for
the ball but only managed to deflect it just beyond the infield
"We had to win this game," Abreu said. "This is a team that
never gives up. It has a lot of confidence."
In the bottom half, Wagner allowed singles to Andruw Jones and
Eli Marrero, Mark DeRosa bunted them over and Wagner walked Furcal
intentionally to load the bases. Wagner fell behind 3-1 in the
count to Giles, then got a broken-bat grounder to third, forcing
Jones at the plate.
Wagner completely shattered Drew's bat on a soft liner to first
base, ending the game and giving the Phillies closer his 15th save.
"I'd like to go out 1-2-3 every time," Wagner said. "But they
did a good job of getting one back. They put me in a situation
where I had to make pitches. It was fun."
Tim Worrell (3-3) earned the win with a scoreless ninth.
Giles hit a two-run homer in the first inning, and Jones added a
solo shot in the seventh that pushed the Braves to a 3-1 lead.
Wright went seven innings, allowing just four hits and a run,
but could only watch as the Phillies bounced back in the eighth.
Furcal bobbled a grounder trying to turn a double play and
didn't get anyone. Philadelphia took advantage, tying the game on
Jim Thome's sacrifice fly and David Bell's two-out, run-scoring
Wright hasn't lost since May 22, going 5-0 with six no-decisions
during that span. But his record (7-5) would be much better if the
bullpen had done a better job of protecting leads.
"After something like that, you've got to forget about it as
quick as you can," Wright said. "We have been playing good
baseball. We had them on their heels. We just couldn't finish on
the right side."
Things started well. The Braves began the bottom of the first
with three straight hits off Eric Milton, but the scorebook was a
little misleading.
Furcal led off with a liner to center that was played horribly
by Jason Michaels. The outfielder broke in, stopped as if about to
make the catch, then leaped futilely for the ball as it sailed over
his head and rolled all the way to the wall. Furcal sped around to
third with a gift triple.
Michaels broke back on the next one but could only watch as
Giles' 409-foot drive landed in the center-field stands for his
fifth homer of the season. Giles has homered twice since coming off
the disabled list last week, having missed 52 games with a broken
Milton allowed just five hits in seven innings, the homers by
Giles and Jones accounting for all the runs.
Rollins' RBI single in the second drove in the lone run off
Wright. Abreu started the third with a double, but that would be
the last Phillies hit off Wright.
The right-hander faced the minimum the rest of his stint. The
lone baserunner -- Thome reached on a walk in the sixth -- was erased
by a double play.
Game notes
Drew didn't waste any time keeping his career-best hitting
streak alive. Drew doubled in the first, stretching his streak to
17 games. ... Philadelphia is still only 9-19 against the other top
three teams in the NL East. ... The Braves announced that IF Jesse
Garcia had accepted an assignment to Triple-A Richmond. He was
outrighted to the minors last week when Giles came off the DL.

So, by chance not choice, one of our cars is going bye-bye. It has served my wife and I for many, many years but our 14 year old Camry is in need to more work (and money) than we are willing to put into it. Since my original commuter (88 Trek 800 dropbar conversion) needs some love and work, we picked up a new Trek 1.2C for my commuting and riding enjoyment. I haven't had a bike with 700x23 tires in a long time, and the old pump I used to have has long since bit the dust.
What I wanted to know what what do you all carry for a pump and are the CO2 style pumps worth it? I want to avoid a on-frame pump if possible so I am guessing the CO2 pump would be the way to go?

Loud Tires?
Has anyone else noticed how loud the factory tires are? To me it's as loud as snow tires are on bare pavement. It's become increasingly annoying.

Re: Loud Tires?
Much louder on concrete roadways compared to asphalt.
Re: Loud Tires?
Yes. I just took mine in for the second time to look at it because of excessive tire noise while turning at low speeds. Again, they said it was normal tire wear and rotated the tires this time. For the time being the noise has dissipated. But I believe they wear unevenly and this is likely due to some sort of tow issue they have not yet figured out, or are unwilling to acknowledge.

Re: Loud Tires?
I had a similar issue noted here:
My issue was resolved with new front tires and an alignment, even though they said the original alignment was within spec. I wonder if they made some small change or maybe the factory alignment specs have too much room for variance. Now, after 6000 miles since the new tires and alignment, my car is as quiet as when new. I am rotating the tires every 3000 miles, as Cadillac recommended.

Re: Loud Tires?
I'm glad to hear that your recent tire rotation has resolved the tire noise for the time being. If it returns and you would like some additional assistance while working with the dealership, please feel free to PM me and we can discuss the situation further.
Enjoy your evening,

Re: Loud Tires?
I don't recall where, but I think I read somewhere that PZeros were fairly loud, and I do know that the tires get louder when they're worn, although you probably aren't at that point yet.
Just wondering why you're rotating asymmetrical tires. My Chevy dealer has never rotated (left to right, right to left) my Camaro SS Pirelli's.

Re: Loud Tires?
I took my CTS V-sport in Saturday to the selling dealer for oil change and tire rotation. When I went to pick it up, I noticed that the tires had not been rotated and inquired why not. I was told that it was not recommended, even side to side as
discussed here. I informed the dealership owner, and now the car is back for rotation of the tires. Cadillac needs to do a better job of keeping us and dealerships informed, although I can see their side of not rotating, but not in line with posts here.
Re: Loud Tires?
As of today, 8950 miles and the tire noise is back. I plan to go back to the dealer Friday and request for the third time they resolve the issue. I'm not holding my breath. Ridiculous for a $70K car...
Re: Loud Tires?
Rotating asymmetrical tires side-to-side is a waste of time.
If you are getting road noise I would investigate rotational imbalances and tire roundness by using a road force balancer.
There is a good chance this will show the tire/wheel combo is out of round increasing road noise.
Also, do a thorough alignment on the car.
Both of these may require not using your Cadillac dealer and going to a good tire store or alignment shop with modern equipment like a Hunter Road Force GSP9700.
You can find the nearest machine here: http://www.gsp9700.com/search/findgsp9700.cfm
I know this is partial heresy on a $70K Cadillac, but dealer service departments have huge variances in quality.
Aside: this is my first Cadillac and I find this forum slightly odd.
There is little technical commentary here.
My post about dialing out understeer in the performance section has received no replies after a month while a badge question gets almost 20.
Are there so few of us actually DRIVING their car?
Not trying to upset anyone, I'm just used to owner's forums generating feedback.

Re: Loud Tires?
For the most part, I would agree that rotating asymmetrical tires empirically makes no sense. However even Cadillac Customer Care (Austin J) and other members have posted that such rotation diminished the road noise they were complaining
of, even though it eventually recurred. While I am not an engineer, I wonder if the road "crown" normally in the center of a two-lane road might cause some uneven wear in tires susceptible to such wear, and therefore side-side rotation might be
beneficial. Just a thought and question for others.
Re: Loud Tires?
I think swapping the tires side-to-side is treating the symptom without curing the problem.
Of course the noise level will change when swapped... and, OMG, it came back!
That is because the problem has not been fixed and also why some service departments bad reputations.
Proper FOUR wheel alignment and complete balancing along with correct inflation will reduce the issue.
Tires make noise, some tires make more than others.
Pirelli has developed the "Pirelli Noise Cancelling System" for Audi that puts a sponge in the tires to reduce noise.
But this only knocks a couple of dB off the sound.

Re: Loud Tires?
Owners should know that in their hand book GM suggest NOT to use tires under 40 degrees F and in harsh winter
climates. These are run/flat tires and they will give a some what harsher ride. Also the rubber compound will not wear
the same as a standard tire. Knowing this I ran my tires hard (broke-in) for fifty miles and then replaced them with
Hankook Ultra All Season tires. The car is notably quieter and smoother on all road surface conditions but you will
sacrifice some handling. There's always a tradeoff unfortunately. If a person viewed the sidewall thickness of a run/flat tire they would understand where some of that great handling performance comes from. I hope this helps clear up
some of the tire concerns.

Sudan is the largest country in Africa. Located in the north-east of the continent, it is bordered by Egypt, the Red Sea, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), the Central African Republic, Chad and Libya. Away from the Nile River, most of Sudan is comprised of semi-arid plains, though the south is more lush.
From 7000 BC, farmers and herders lived along the Nile in what is now Sudan. Most settled in Nubia, known to the Egyptians as Cush. Nubian civilization reached its peak between 1750 and 1500 BCE and is thought to be the oldest civilization in sub-Saharan Africa. In the sixth century, northern Sudanese adopted Christianity.
By the mid-seventh century, Arab Muslims had conquered Egypt and raided Nubia. In the early 1500s black African Muslims called Funji conquered Sudan. Meanwhile black Africans settled in central and southern Sudan, including Azande, Dinka, Nuer and Shilluk people. From the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries the rulers of these increasingly Islamic Sudanese states adopted an Arab identity. When Egyptian forces penetrated southern Sudan after 1821 they brought in their wake northern Sudanese and European merchants. The growth in the supply of slaves led to their being used increasingly as domestic servants in northern Sudan.
Northern Sudanese generally regarded the south as part of a large labour reserve. Because southerners were needed for indentured labour this weighed against converting them to Islam, which would have ruled out their use as slaves. By the time of the Anglo-Egyptian Condominium, 1898-1955, the attitudes of the north towards the south had become entrenched. Regional underdevelopment increased, and by the early 1950s educated southerners believed that self-government for Sudan would not necessarily result in self-government for the south. They tried to delay independence and later proposed federation. When this was rebuffed in 1958, two years after Sudan gained independence, to many, secession seemed the only alternative. A series of post-independence civilian and military regimes failed to reconcile deep-seated differences between the south and the north. General Nimeiry seized power in 1969, and in 1972 ended a 17-year civil war by granting the south regional government and local autonomy.
Oil and Islam
During the mid-1970s, significant oil discoveries were made in the Upper Nile region of Sudan, which raised the stakes for control of the south. It also encouraged leaders in Khartoum to sharpen divide-and-rule tactics in the south, and indeed in all of the country's peripheral regions.
Nimeiry's support for the 1979 Camp David peace accord between Egypt and Israel earned him the enmity of Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi, who supported Nimeiry's enemies.
The north-south conflict resumed in 1983 when Nimeiry ended regional self-government; Libya backed the southern Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) that had emerged under the leadership of defected Sudanese army colonel John Garang. With the outbreak of war, Nimeiry imposed Islamic law.
Nimeiry was overthrown through a popular uprising in 1985 and a civilian government assumed power in May 1986, although it failed to end the war in the south. The new government under Sadiq al Mahdi brought the National Islamic Front (NIF) into its coalition for the first time.
Following a shift in policy on the Middle East, Libya switched its allegiance from the SPLA/M to Khartoum. Al Mahdi eventually fell out with the NIF over his government's agreement to a ceasefire with the SPLA in November 1988, and its provision freezing the implementation of Sharia law in the south. In June 1989 the NIF launched an Islamist coup fronted by Colonel Omar al Bashir.
The new junta - the Revolutionary Command Council (RCC) - set about torturing and killing perceived opponents in the north, while banning labour unions, political parties and outlawing protests against the regime.
In 1991 government forces made gains in the civil war when the SPLA split over whether to seek a secular Sudan or full independence, and during 1991-2, the regime targeted opponents in Juba and elsewhere in the south with the same terror and fervour it had brought against its perceived northern enemies.
The NIF regime specialized in exploiting existing local ethnic and religious tensions, or instigating them, in a bid to divide opposition to its rule throughout the country. The government has survived despite deep unpopularity and chronic neglect of every region in the vast country largely due to its stoking of many proxy wars that are the fallout of its systematic assault on minority rights.
North-south war
The north-south war continued unabated throughout the 1990s. The SPLA/M was dogged by splinter factions, most notably by that led by the Nuer, Riek Machar, who received support from Khartoum, which had a clear interest in encouraging southern in-fighting.
During the decade, tens of thousands of southern Sudanese were taken into slavery in the north, while fighting displaced and killed hundreds of thousands more. From 1993 the Intergovernmental Authority on Development, a regional development body, led peace efforts in Sudan, but these remained in a rut. Religious and racial targeting of southerners exacerbated a conflict that was increasingly becoming about the control of southern oil resources.
Sudan and international terrorism
During the 1990s, Khartoum supported Saddam Hussein in the Gulf War, hosted Osama bin Laden and his Al Qaeda terrorist group, and may have supported Al Qaeda's 1993 bombing of New York's World Trade Centre, the 1998 bombing of the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, and the attack on the USS Cole in 2000.
Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak likewise fingered Sudanese involvement in an attempted assassination on him in 1995. Throughout the decade, Washington aggressively sought to isolate Sudan, including through economic sanctions.
Following the 1998 embassy bombings, the US launched retaliatory strikes on an alleged chemical weapons factory in Khartoum. Mounting international pressure had already led Sudan to expel bin Laden in 1996, and, following the 11 September 2001 attacks on the US, Khartoum made a strategic decision to join the 'global war on terror' by providing Washington with intelligence.
US interventions
The US had long provided support to the SPLA and neighbouring countries that were at odds with Khartoum. With the partial thawing of US-Sudanese relations, and under bi-partisan prodding from Congress, which had long been concerned about abuses against southerners, the White House appointed John Danforth, a respected former senator, to lead a new effort at forging a north-south peace agreement.
The warring parties signed a Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) in January 2005, which brought an end to years of war and cost an estimated 1.5 million lives. Beyond a permanent ceasefire and an agreement on the sharing of oil revenue, most of which comes from the south, the deal nominally brought the SPLA into government.
There is no accurate demographic data in Sudan. Previous censuses are widely regarded as being of poor quality. A new census is due to be held in January 2008 - but has already been delayed and may yet be again. However, what is clear that Sudan is home to an immense range of peoples - according to one estimate, more than 56 ethnic and almost 600 sub-ethnic groups.
Main languages: Arabic (official), Nubian, over 100 diverse dialects of Nilotic, Nilo-Hamitic, Sudanic languages, especially in the south, Darfur, Nuba Mountains and parts of the East. These include Dinka, Azande, Nuer, Fur, Shilluk and many Nuban languages. English is widely spoken, especially in the south.
Main religions: Sunni Islam, indigenous beliefs (mainly in the south), Christianity (mainly in the south and Khartoum)
Western Nilotes - Anuak, Dinka, Nuer and Shilluk - are the largest Sudanese linguistic group. Predominantly pastoral, they traditionally lived in southern Sudan, occupying parts of southern Kordofan and White Nile province. Further south in Equatoria are Eastern Nilotes, including Azande, Latuka, Madi, Moru, Taposa and Turkana.
Nuer and their associated subgroup, Atuot, are, after the Dinka, among the most numerous groups in southern Sudan. A Nilotic people, they are seasonally migrating pastoralists. Cattle are fundamental to the social structure: a profound measure of wealth, status and personal influence. Cattle are used to pay debts, fines and bride prices, although this latter practice is in decline, and are also central to religious and artistic culture.
Relatively homogeneous in language and culture but without political centralization or formal regional integration, Nuer are divided into a number of independent tribes organized into clans, lineages and age groups. Nuer had a strong history of resistance to British control in the twentieth century. In recent decades, the Nuer have suffered from internecine conflict; a key leader, Riek Machar, took many Nuer with him when he switched sides from the Sudanese Peoples' Liberation Army/Movement (SPLA/M) to join forces with Khartoum government, although subsequently he returned.
Nubians (not to be confused with Nuba) are descendants of the hunter-gathering culture near the site of modern Khartoum, c. 4000 BC, with much admixture from the Egyptian population to the north. Nubians have a very long history linked to the rise of agriculture, ancient states and urbanism, which parallels their association with ancient Egypt. Nubia was a source of gold, slaves, cattle skins, ivory, ebony, ostrich feathers, gum and incense which played a very important role in the basic accumulation of Egyptian wealth and power. When the Nubian kingdom was defeated by the Axumite kingdom it reorganized as three Christian kingdoms. This delayed the arrival of Islam until the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Some Nubians fled to remote locations in Darfur and Kordofan; other groups stayed in Nubia, retaining a tradition of religious scholarship and teaching.
Following the 1989 coup, the RCC immediately banned all political parties. The NIF consolidated its power in October 1993 and changed its name to the National Congress Party (NCP); the RCC disbanded after appointing al Bashir president.
Exceptionally harsh in its treatment of opponents, the government manifested disregard for human rights on a massive scale in the relocation and 'cleansing' of minority populations in northern and southern Sudan. There was a re-launching of slave trading in southern and south- central Sudan, especially targeting Nuba children in the south-west.
The ruling Islamist cabal has held absolute power since 1989 and in March 1996 orchestrated a sham 'election'. Through a power struggle, NIF founder and parliamentary speaker Hassan al Turabi fell out with al Bashir. When al Turabi's Popular National Congress Party signed a memorandum of understanding with the SPLA in 2001, he was quickly arrested. He remains a leading presence in Sudanese politics despite the fluctuations in his relationship with al Bashir and the ruling party.
In January 2005, the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) was signed, bringing an end to decades of war between Khartoum's rulers and the SPLA. It is a complex agreement, covering security arrangements, boundary demarcation, governance, oil revenues and religion. A government of national unity was formed, but the key guarantee is a 2011 referendum on southern independence.
In the meantime, the South is ruled under the autonomous SPLM-led Government of South Sudan. (GoSS). The agreement is far from perfect. From a minority point of view, one of the major difficulties has been that it guarantees a majority of northern government positions and parliamentary seats to the NCP ahead of elections, effectively entrenching power of ruling clique, while the same guarantee is extended to the SPLM in the South, at the expense of smaller opposition groups.
Similarly, the deal does not address the festering conflicts in Sudan's other regions, such as Darfur and the east, and the growing instability in the north and Kordofan, while the potential for conflict in Nuba Mountains and in the transitional area of Abyei remains high.
But, despite its drawbacks, the agreement is a major step towards transforming traditional power structures in Sudan. For minorities, it offers the possibility of participating in government and choice of government. A census is due (although it has already been much postponed) and in 2009 elections are to be held across the country.
However, no agreement has been made on the type of electoral system to be used and nor have the present discussions been transparent, as the ICG (International Crisis Group) reports (July 2007). This could be of great importance to Sudan's non-dominant communities because, as an MRG study on electoral systems around the world, showed in 2006, the type of system chosen, can greatly affect the representation of minorities in legislatures.
Logically, the CPA weakens the power of the ruling clique, and may eventually lead to the loss of the south altogether. It is not surprising, therefore, that the NCP has dragged its feet over implementation. In July 2007, the verdict of the ICG in July 2007 was that the agreement was 'in danger of collapse' due to 'government sabotage and international neglect'.
Equally, the SPLM leadership has concentrated on southern problems, rather than using its presence in government to push for solutions on the national level. With the death of veteran leader John Garang in a helicopter crash in 2005, supporters within the movement of his vision of a 'New Sudan' based on equality and justice, and built around a devolved, federal system, have been weakened.
Fears have been expressed too, that the SPLM government is dominated by the Dinka tribe, and is not inclusive enough of other groups. But many Dinkas argue that the 'myth of the Dinka war' has been propagated by Khartoum as a way to divide the tribes of the south. In the years running up to the peace deal being signed, Garang had successfully negotiated the return of two key southern leaders, a Nuer and Shilluk, who had split with him in 1991 and joined forces with the north. Riek Machar and Lam Akol now hold top positions in the southern and national governments respectively.
But, it is clear that if Salva Kiir's government is to be considered genuinely inclusive, then it must make efforts to include representatives of other tribes. According to the ICG, reshuffles in 2007 pointed the other way, with a prominent number of Bahr el Ghazal Dinkas appointed to high positions in Salva Kiir's administration and armed forces.
In July 2008, the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) requested that a panel of judges approve a warrant for the arrest of President al Bashir on charges of genocide and crimes against humanity and war crimes for his alleged role in the Darfur conflict. Al Bashir attempted to rally the country in defiance of the charges whilst also seeking support among African and Arab leaders to oppose the move. In the UN Security Council, Libya and South Africa sought approval of a draft resolution that, in accordance the ICC's statute, would delay the ICC judges' consideration of the prosecutor's request for one year. Although some western diplomats and analysts were worried that charges against al Bashir could increase his grip on power and undermine prospects for peace, western countries opposed the effort in the Security Council to delay the prosecution. Other diplomats and analysts believed that the charges could eventually weaken Bashir and provide the international community with new leverage over Khartoum in ending the atrocities in Darfur.

We are a collaboration between self-represented contemporary artist 'Reddyvar Katzy' and the up coming writer/poet Toumas Mallender, creating a combination of art with an eco-friendly nature,poetry and everyday life, alternative street fashion's, politics and world wide lifestyles in mind with this mixture of creation ~ As we say….."When two Katz get together, it's literally Art."
Reddy Katzy
being of a slight aspergic disposition i see the world a little differently and i am thoroughly "Intrigued by all things 'typical' of every day life, I see character everywhere I look, and have great interest in all aspects of my surroundings. I eagerly use my camera to capture my findings, with the same means i also like to see the same things from different angles and positions which include a fascination of 'listing things by number and creating collections at different view points – through using redbubble I wanted to share such findings, so that you may see the world through my eyes!
My canvas artwork is 90% natural and made up of things that would normally go to waste, and can take up to three months to create, due to layering, sewing, and completion. I work 100% in mixed media – I have no interest in being tied down to just one format, apart from photography.
With my artwork, I bring to life my love for all things beautiful and offer it for viewing on a plate – a unique look at a beauty that too often goes unnoticed, and taken for granted.
An empty, used teabag can be one of the greatest and most utilised pieces of unnoticed beauty in the world! Just take a look at the doors on my Wild West Pants Party tipis, and the autumn crisping on my 'Love Nature' collection to see what i mean!"
i have also included photography and older works of mine simply for my own pleasure and executing a wide portfolio – but once i have uploaded the older works everything displayed will be modern – present and available to be seen in the flesh – whereas the old work will have probably been sold onwards ………
Toumas R Katz mallender
"I am a Poet who writes about the places, the people or the events of the human world.
My influences are drawn from the works of Objectivist poets – especially the likes of Charles Reznikoff and Basil Bunting. It is from these writers that I developed my own poetics.
My other major influences are drawn from the comedy world of George Carlin, Bill Hicks and Stewart Lee.
I am drawn to write about things that interest me, anger and annoy me and even very occasionally something that pleases me.
I write about such topics as Sex & Sexuality, Gender and Gender Roles, Health, Religion, War, Politics and London.. And more often than not it's a mixture of said topics."
We can also be found on Facebook and Ebay sales pages, under the 'Unknown.artists tu'ar&t katz' logo (search google!).
Sellers NOTE: All artwork is priced as minimal as possible into two price catagories (as in seller percentage of which is incredibly low) ie: if you purchase a post card the seller percentage is about 19-24p hence this is as much a Gallery and Viewing point for Tu'Ar&t Katz with an option for the viewer to purchase ~ This is more for the 'spectator's' buying benefit rather than making money – 'typical artists'

This report presents cross-cultural comparisons of studies on obedience to authority using the classic Milgram paradigm, which provide answers to the following questions:
1. Overall, does the level of obedience found in the United States differ from that found in other countries?
2. Is the nature or pattern of sex differences in obedience the same or different in the United States and elsewhere?
3. How does Milgram's "agentic state" conceptualization – that destructive obedience presupposes a shift in responsibility from the perpetrator to the authority – fare cross-culturally?

Dry Dog Food
Estimated Dry Matter Nutrient Content
Ingredients: Ground yellow corn, chicken by-product meal, corn gluten meal, whole wheat flour, animal fat preserved with mixed-tocopherols, beef, rice flour, soy flour, meat and bone meal, propylene glycol, sugar, salt, phosphoric acid, mono and dicalcium phosphate, animal digest, potassium chloride, tricalcium phosphate, sorbic acid (a preservative), non-fat yogurt, dried carrots, dried peas, calcium propionate (a preservative), choline chloride, l-lysine monohydrochloride, vitamin E supplement, zinc sulfate, ferrous sulfate, manganese sulfate, red 40, niacin, vitamin A supplement, yellow 5, yellow 6, copper sulfate, vitamin B12 supplement, calcium pantothenate, blue 2, thiamine mononitrate, garlic oil, pyridoxine hydrochloride, riboflavin supplement, vitamin D3 supplement, menadione sodium bisulfite complex (source of vitamin K activity), calcium iodate, folic acid, biotin, sodium selenite
Fiber (estimated dry matter content) = 4.7%
Red items indicate controversial ingredients
|Estimated Nutrient Content
|Guaranteed Analysis
|Dry Matter Basis
|Calorie Weighted Basis
The first ingredient in this dog food is corn. Corn is an inexpensive and controversial cereal grain. And aside from its energy content, this grain is of only modest nutritional value to a dog.
For this reason, we do not consider corn a preferred component in any dog food.
The second ingredient is chicken by-product meal, a dry rendered product of slaughterhouse waste. It's made from what's left of a slaughtered chicken after all the prime cuts have been removed.
In addition to organs (the nourishing part), this stuff can contain almost anything — feet, beaks, undeveloped eggs — anything except feathers.
On the brighter side, by-product meals are meat concentrates and contain nearly 300% more protein than fresh chicken.
In any case, although this item contains all the amino acids a dog needs, we consider chicken by-products an inexpensive, lower quality ingredient.
The third ingredient is corn gluten meal. Gluten is the rubbery residue remaining once corn has had most of its starchy carbohydrate washed out of it.
Although corn gluten meal contains 60% protein, this ingredient would be expected to have a lower biological value than meat.
And less costly plant-based products like this can notably boost the total protein reported on the label — a factor that must be considered when judging the actual meat content of this dog food.
The fourth ingredient is wheat flour, a highly-refined product of wheat milling. Like corn, wheat is an inexpensive and controversial cereal grain of only modest nutritional value to a dog.
For this reason, we do not consider wheat a preferred component in any dog food.
The fifth ingredient is animal fat. Animal fat is a generic by-product of rendering, the same high-temperature process used to make meat meals.
Since there's no mention of a specific animal, this item could come from almost anywhere: roadkill, spoiled supermarket meat, dead, diseased or dying cattle — even euthanized pets.
For this reason, we do not consider generic animal fat a quality ingredient.
The sixth ingredient is beef. Although it's a quality item, raw beef contains about 80% water. After cooking, most of that moisture is lost, reducing the meat content to just a fraction of its original weight.
After processing, this item would probably account for a smaller part of the total content of the finished product.
The seventh ingredient is rice flour. Rice flour is made from either white or brown rice and is considered a gluten-free substitute for wheat flour.
The eighth ingredient is soy flour, a high-protein by-product of soybean processing.
Although soy flour contains about 51% protein, this ingredient would be expected to have a lower biological value than meat.
And less costly plant-based products like this can notably boost the total protein reported on the label — a factor that must be considered when judging the actual meat content of this dog food.
The ninth ingredient is meat and bone meal, a dry "rendered product from mammal tissues, including bone, exclusive of any added blood, hair, hoof, horn, hide trimmings, manure, stomach and rumen contents".1
Meat and bone meal can have a lower digestibility than most other meat meals.
Scientists believe this decreased absorption may be due to the ingredient's higher ash and lower essential amino acid content.2
What's worse, this particular item is anonymous. Since there's no mention of a specific animal, this ingredient could come from almost anywhere: spoiled supermarket meat, roadkill, dead, diseased or dying livestock — even euthanized farm animals.
Even though meat and bone meals are still considered protein-rich meat concentrates, we do not consider a generic ingredient like this a quality item.
From here, the list goes on to include a number of other items.
But to be realistic, ingredients located this far down the list (other than nutritional supplements) are not likely to affect the overall rating of this product.
With nine notable exceptions…
First, this product contains the controversial food moisturizer, propylene glycol. Propylene glycol has been banned by the FDA for use in making cat food.
However, it can still be found in some commercial dog foods.
Second, we note the inclusion of sugar. Sugar is always an unwelcome addition to any dog food. Because of its high glycemic index, it can unfavorably impact the blood glucose level of any animal soon after it is eaten.
Next, this food contains animal digest. Animal digest is a chemically hydrolyzed mixture of animal by-products that is typically sprayed onto the surface of a dry kibble to improve its taste.
In addition, this recipe contains dried peas. Dried peas are a good source of carbohydrates. Plus they're naturally rich in dietary fiber.
However, dried peas contain about 27% protein, a factor that must be considered when judging the meat content of this dog food.
Next, we're always disappointed to find artificial coloring in any pet food. That's because coloring is used to make the product more appealing to humans — not your dog. After all, do you really think your dog cares what color his kibble is?
We also note that garlic can be a controversial item. Although many favor the ingredient for its claimed health benefits, garlic has been linked to Heinz body anemia in dogs.3
So, one must weigh the potential benefits of feeding garlic against its proven tendency to cause subclinical damage to the red blood cells of the animal.
Next, we find no mention of probiotics, friendly bacteria applied to the surface of the kibble after processing to help with digestion.
In addition, the minerals listed here do not appear to be chelated. And that can make them more difficult to absorb. Non-chelated minerals are usually associated with lower quality dog foods.
And lastly, this food contains menadione, a controversial form of vitamin K linked to liver toxicity, allergies and the abnormal break-down of red blood cells.
Since vitamin K isn't required by AAFCO in either of its dog food nutrient profiles, we question the use of this substance in any canine formulation.
Beneful Dog Food
The Bottom Line
Judging by its ingredients alone, Beneful Dog Food looks like a below-average dry product.
But ingredient quality by itself cannot tell the whole story. We still need to estimate the product's meat content before determining a final rating.
The dashboard displays a dry matter protein reading of 31%, a fat level of 14% and estimated carbohydrates of about 47%.
As a group, the brand features an average protein content of 30% and a mean fat level of 12%. Together, these figures suggest a carbohydrate content of 50% for the overall product line.
And a fat-to-protein ratio of about 41%.
Near-average protein. Below-average fat. And near-average carbs when compared to a typical dry dog food.
When you consider the protein-boosting effect of the corn gluten meal, soy flour and dried peas, this looks like the profile of a kibble containing a moderate amount of meat.
Bottom line?
Beneful Dog Food is a plant-based kibble using a moderate amount of chicken by-product meal as its main source of animal protein, thus earning the brand 1 star.
Not recommended.
Please note certain recipes are sometimes given a higher or lower rating based upon our estimate of their total meat content and (when appropriate) their fat-to-protein ratios.
A Final Word
The descriptions and analyses expressed in this and every article on this website represent the views and opinions of the author.
The Dog Food Advisor does not test dog food products.
We rely almost entirely on the integrity of the information posted by each company on its website. As such, the accuracy of every review is directly dependent upon the quality of the test results from any specific batch of food a company chooses to publish.
Although it's our goal to ensure all the information on this website is correct, we cannot guarantee its completeness or its accuracy; nor can we commit to ensuring all the material is kept up-to-date on a daily basis.
Each review is offered in good faith and has been designed to help you make a more informed decision when buying dog food.
However, due to the biological uniqueness of every animal, none of our ratings are intended to suggest feeding a particular product will result in a specific dietary response or health benefit for your pet.
For a better understanding of how we analyze each product, please read our article, "The Problem with Dog Food Reviews".
Remember, no dog food can possibly be appropriate for every life stage, lifestyle or health condition. So, choose wisely. And when in doubt, consult a qualified veterinary professional for help.
In closing, we do not accept money, gifts or samples from pet food companies in exchange for special consideration in the preparation of our reviews or ratings.
However, we do receive a fee from Chewy.com for each purchase made as a direct result of a referral from our website. This fee is a fixed dollar amount and has nothing to do with the size of an order or the brand selected for purchase.

"Home of the "Monk Seals"" Deserta Grande by bambino36
Deserta Grande Travel Guide: 8 reviews and 16 photos
From the south side of Madeira Island we can can see three distant islands to the southeast. These are the mysterious Ilhas Desertas, which means 'the deserted islands' and this is due to the lack of permanent water and the consequent barrenness of the soil.
These three islands are Deserta Grande (the largest, with a length of 11 km), Ilhéu Chão and Bugio.
In 1990 the Desertas became a Nature Reserve, comprising the islands themselves and the surrounding sea to a depth of 100 metres. The reserve is divided into two protected zones of which the southern half of Deserta Grande and Bugio are strictly forbidden to visitors even by boat. On Deserta Grande there is a permanent research station with two guards from Parque Natural da Madeira, who are the only human inhabitants of the islands today.
Deserta Grande is one of the places where the monk seals still exist, although everytime I went there I never saw any.
The island is located 15 nautical miles southeast of Funchal (Madeira Island).

We use an organic, green-based tanning fluid, for a natural olive tan - no streaks guaranteed. The difference lies in the Brazilian Beauty Signature Spray Tan method. Our professional Beauty Therapists are highly-trained in our Signature method to guarantee you a beautiful, even coverage.
Sculpt and define muscle tone, even your complexion and show off a natural-looking tan that lasts.
Individual treatments are available to book online and selected packages available for purchase here. For all other packages please contact your local salon here.
The link between exposure to UV rays and skin cancer began to be widely known during the 1960's. Since then, sunless tanning alternatives have reached extreme heights of popularity. Subsequent to legislation against tanning beds in many Australian states, most people are beginning to realise the benefits of spray tanning. With no exposure to UV rays, and therefore no danger of developing skin cancer from the treatment, spray tans have increased greatly in popularity, particularly over the last two decades. The Vani-T tanning liquid we use at Brazilian Beauty doesn't blotch and creates an even natural texture all over, and looks even better than a hard-earned sun tan!
There are a few obvious things you can do to prolong the life of your tan: Don't exfoliate heavily. Exfoliate BEFORE your tan (to remove dead skin cells). Use the products your therapist recommends (they really do make your tan last longer).
We have never had a client react to our tanning products, however in the event that you do, we have procedures in place to deal with the situation.
We use a green base tan, so your tan will go a natural, glowing colour.
Your tan should last around 7-10 days. If you use the products your therapist recommends, and don't go swimming in the ocean every day, you might be able to prolong this.
There are certain steps you can take to prolong your tan, however beyond that there is very little maintenance required.
Prior to your treatment it is important that you maintain your personal hygiene. A shower beforehand will make the entire event much more comfortable for everyone involved. Otherwise, just come on in. If you have grown-out facial hair, and you intend on removing it shortly, do so before your tan to avoid a ghostly white patch where your beard was.
During the treatment, you'll go into a tanning room and your therapist will give you some privacy to get undressed (we do provide disposable underwear). Then, using an advanced spray gun (automatically creates an even spread) your therapist will tan you top to bottom. It's that simple!
Following your spray tan, follow the advice your therapist gives you. Depending on the coverage, the level of tan you wish to achieve, and the product used (some have accelerants) you will need to shower anywhere between 2 and 10 hours after your appointment (showering helps bring out the natural aspect of your tan).

It looks like Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan now has two highly anticipated albums to keep an eye on.
While Tool's long-awaited follow-up to 1996's "Aenima" continues to lurch forward, Keenan's other band, A Perfect Circle, has inked a deal with Virgin Records. Virgin will deliver the band's first album, "Mer De Noms," to stores on May 23 and the album's first single, "Judith," is expected to hit radio in April.
Virgin notes that the band (Keenan, guitarist Billy Howerdel, guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen, bassist Paz Lenchantin, and drummer Josh Freese) also plans to tour behind the album this year, though details remain to be hammered out.
Howerdel, a guitar tech with Tool as well as the Smashing Pumpkins and Nine Inch Nails, produced and co-wrote the twelve songs comprising the group's debut.
The band made its official debut last August at Los Angeles' Viper Room and staged a larger coming-out party at last October's Coachella Art and Music Festival (see "Tool's Maynard To Roll Out 'Perfect Circle' At Coachella" ).
The folks at Virgin seem thrilled by the development, with Virgin Music Group Worldwide vice chairman Nancy Berry calling the album a "global priority for Virgin."
Of course, all this means you aren't likely to see a new Tool album anytime soon. Tool's manager, Ted Gardner, told MTV News that Maynard's work with A Perfect Circle is not interfering with work on the new Tool album, and that all parties were careful to give Maynard enough time to devote himself to A Perfect Circle without sacrificing Tool's next effort. Gardner said that the rest of the band is still writing and editing material for the next Tool album and that Keenan's Tool counterparts continue to be fully supportive of the singer and A Perfect Circle.

Dick Gaughan, on the sleeve notes of his album Handful of Earth, wrote that Scojun Waltz was "an attempt to prove that cajun music originated in Leith." When I read that as a 16 year old back in the 80's I thought it might be true. My mate Andy, who knew a lot about folk music, told me it was a joke. I felt a bit stupid at the time and let it go.

Some photographers have bought the Nikon D4 on the assumption that it's image quality is better than a Nikon D800. While there might be certain specific cases in which this is true (high ISO, oddball lighting), etc, the main value of the D4 appears to be in the areas of ergonomics and autofocus and other specific functionality that works better for particular jobs.
Roy P
Roy P (who owns a D800 and D4) does a good job of discussing his own experience and asking some pointed questions on why the D4 exists:
One of the key features of the D4 is its 10 frames/second burst speed, which I guess is a staple for sports photographers. But apart from that, I thought the D4 and the D800/800E each had its own role in the universe.
I had thought the D4 would be the camera for available-light photography at high ISOs in chaotic situations (people, action, lot of movement, etc. where the environment controls the photographer). In this case, the D4 would be used mostly with fast autofocusing with the best Nikon AF lenses, probably the pro zooms.
