beautiful but . . .
This is a really beautiful Safavieh rug. I know what this brand costs as I have another one already, so I really practically stole this one! It is very thick and the appearance has a nice lightness and airiness to it because of the rather delicate design. It is one of those designs that will go with just about any fabric I choose to put on my parsons chairs when I reupholster. I have dark hardwood floors and this rug really stands out against them! My only complaint is that it is not as yellow as the picture. I was prepared for that as I have ordered other rugs from Overstock in the past and returned every one because the colors were so off from the picture. The field is really just a very light ivory; the only yellow is in some of the pattern and the outside border which is a golden color (very nice). The dark rust red in the design is very thin in outline so it could be considered many dark red colors depending on what colors you bring into the room (burnt orange, burgundy, etc.) so it is very versatile. I love the values on Overstock; I just wish they would upgrade their color representation and/or give a more detailed color description. Rugs are such a pain to return!Read More
Very pleased!
I, of course, had a bit of trepidation about ordering a 9X12 rug sight unseen. I've done tons of shopping on Overstock and usually been extremely pleased. On the occasion I've had the send something back (usually shoes) it's an easy process. I knew this would not be so with a very heavy, very large rug. It took six of us to lay the pad and rug under my bed but it was immediately clear that the color was perfect and it's a high quality rug. It looks beautiful in my bedroom where I mix original deco furniture with funky lamps and mix match pillows and upholstered furniture. Just my style. This rug is a steal at the price I paid, delivery was very fast and efficient. I highly recommend. One note: with only myself to blame (I guess) I had typed in oriental as the category of rug I was searching for and most of the rugs were made in Pakistan, India and Iran. When we put the rug down on my floor and I looked at the tag that said "made in China" I was horrified. I referred back to the site and somewhere very small it does indeed state that. I WILL NOT BUY MERCHANDISE MADE IN CHINA until we work out a fair trade agreement. So, I was disappointed, in myself. I am usually a very careful shopper.Read More
Color more beige than gold
The carpet is of good quality, Safavieh. It's comfortable and on the thick side. The color however, in my opinion, was not as pictured. I found it to be more beigy and rust with touches of black - not the golden tone you see here. I kept the carpet because I did not want to go through the trouble of sending it back. I now use it in another room that has Hush Paint by Benjamin more and an attempted Ralph Lauren look - and it works perfectly in that room. It's a very nice carpet, good quality, and if the beige/rust/blackish-blue color scheme works for you, it's perfect. It has a Navaho/American Indian feel to it - which also works in the room I ultimately ended up putting it in.Read More
Sand Rug
Once ordered, we received the rug and pad eithin a week! The rug is thick and cushiony underfoot. Although the description did not specify the color black in the rug, there are definite black accents in the pattern. Otherwise, the colors are soft and the blue/green border goes great in my bedroom. The sand color matches my light oak flooring and has just enough color to anchor the bed. The pad holds it in place and provides the correct amount of buffer between the rug and floor. It does not shed, did not have a strong dye odor, and shipping folds came right out.. All in all, the rug is a great bargain for the money. You would expect to pay much more in a rug store. Thanks, Overstock!Read More

Very nice, lighter than shown
I love this rug! Like other reviewers stated, mine did not have a golden background but more of a creamy sand color. It is neutral without being boring. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is I noticed some treads pulling up and it sheds a ton! I have vacuumed at least 30 times over the past few months and it still fills the canister every time. Even with the shedding, I am very happy with this purchase, I wanted a wool rug and a 9x12 at this price is impossible to find.Read More
Safavieh Rug
Love, love, love this rug. The background color is not gold or yellow as it looks in the picture, but is more ecru or off white. It is shedding a bit, but I feel that will stop when it has been vacuumed a few times. Don't let that stop you from purchasing it. The rug looks great in my library.Read More
Color quite different than in photo
In the photos of this rug it appears to have a golden yellow background. In reality it is simply sand. I should have paid more attention to the name of the rug! It is a sand/gray background. Otherwise, it is nice.Read More

This rug is hand-tufted. It was made in India.

They guaranteed the leads and if we were not able to run a quote for the company, that lead would be replaced. Stay away from this company! It has now been approximately 3 weeks and no leads.
I contact both Scott and Shane, co-owners of Shane Matlock and Company, with my displeasure about their services and requested a refund of the $2250.00. After all, three weeks, no leads, no contact was the basis for my request for a refund.
The response from Scott and Shane were " well the $225.00 has already been paid to our telemarketers for the time on the phone, therefore we cannot refund your money." I told Scott and Shane, I paid for 10 group health insurance leads, not for the salary of their employees and it was not my fault if they could not produce the leads. Scott said, well I'll discuss that with Shane and get back to you.
Update: Scott just called with a hot lead for a restaurant that wanted group health insurance. According to Scott they have group health insurance with Nationwide! Nationwide DOES NOT offer group health insurance. Scott says " I haven't nailed it down yet but it's a restaurant in Houston. I told Scott that I sent them a email a week ago to stop trying to make leads for our agency because it wasn't working out! He told me today, there is no way we are going to refund you the $225.00!
This company Shane Matlock and Company does not provide the services they promised and refused the request for a refund.

the dorms are nicer than i thought they would be, they are clean and up to date. the dorms come with anything you need to live.
Campus Housing:
The dorms are awesome, they are almost like luxury apartments. Everything is included so you do not have to worry about extra expenses. When I was looking at schools, Friends by far had the nicest dorms for the best price!
Campus Housing:
I lived in the freshman residence hall and it was by far the best experience ever for as an incoming freshman. So many events and people to meet, it was amazing! I have lived on campus all 4 years of college. I have lived in the same upperclassmen res hall since sophomore year with the same roommate, and it has been memorable. I love campus life!
Campus Housing:
The only problem I had, while I lived on campus, was that the maintenance took long periods of time to come and fix things in the housing.
Campus Housing:
Living on campus is very helpful. Everything is in walking distance. There's always something to do in the dorms. People are always around as well to entertain you. Rooms are big enough where you have your own space. Love living on campus.

I have tried 3 times to do a review and none of them got published. I find it difficult to rate. For the price paid, it is good value.
I have streamed video and TV including use of HDMI.
Most of the key apps I would use do work (office, calendar, email and other business-y type stuff). Music and ebooks are fine.
Screen is about what I expected.
OSB OTG is great. I have connected all sorts of stuff (keyboards, drives etc)
3G dongle works as does connecting through my phone's wifi hotspot
I don't miss bluetooth.
I don't miss GPS.
Storage capability is great.
It is light and easy to hold.
I use it a lot!
The only irritating thing, and it can be really irritating is the lack of power. The device frequently slows. You see quite a lot of application not responding, wait or force close messages. I suspect ICS is pushing the cpu it to its limits.
If you need an inexpensive tablet now it is a good one (the original 8GB one is available for �70!). However, the new batch of multi-core cheap tablets that are due to hit the market over the new few weeks/months could be a game changer. I expect the Google one to be announced at the end of this month. It will be interesting to see what spec and how low a price Google/ASUS can push these out at. Also how will NatPC and the other Chinese manufacturers respond?

Paperback / softback
Heroes of the Frontier
by Dave Eggers
From the inimitable author of The Circle comes a brilliant new black comedy about modern America.
A mother and her two young children set out on a journey through the Alaskan wilderness. Travelling in a battered old RV (optimistically christened 'The Chateau'), the trip starts off like a vacation: they spot animals, build bonfires, enjoy the scenery. But though Josie drives ever deeper into the forest, she cannot outrun her memories of the events they are leaving behind, and the life she is trying to escape.
Chased north by spreading wildfires, confronted at every turn by wildly eccentric locals, this tiny family must survive their surreal adventure at all costs. Because if they can, there is something clean and redemptive waiting for them - out at the very edge of civilization.
A captivating and hilarious novel about family, loss and recovery, Heroes of the Frontier is a powerful examination of contemporary American life and a rousing story of adventure.
Reviewed by Ben at Angus & Robertson Bookworld:
Every chapter in this book is a hilarious, uplifting gift to the reader. Josie, her children, and every perfectly bizarre stranger they come across together are characterised magnificently. This far exceeds any other Eggers work that I've read.

Pregame: Medica OK but not in lineup

States Made Multiple Program Changes, and Beneficiaries Generally Reported Access Comparable to Private Insurance
GAO-13-55: Published: Nov 15, 2012. Publicly Released: Nov 15, 2012.

(202) 512-7114

What GAO Found
From 2008 to 2011, more than half of states reported maintaining or decreasing their average Medicaid application processing times--the average number of calendar days between the receipt of a new application and the final determination of eligibility. The average processing times reported by 39 states ranged from 11 to 45 calendar days. For the same time period, however, GAO was unable to assess whether states processed applications at a rate that kept pace with the number of new applications received each month, because most states provided incomplete or inconsistent data.
States reported making numerous changes to provider payments, provider taxes, and beneficiary services since 2008. While more states reported provider-rate and supplemental payment increases each year from 2008 through 2011, the number reporting payment reductions and increased provider taxes also grew. More states reported increasing services than limiting them.
Over two-thirds of states reported challenges to ensuring enough Medicaid providers to serve beneficiaries--including dental and specialty care providers. States cited Medicaid payment rates and a general shortage of providers as adding to the challenge. To attract new providers, over half the states reported simplifying administrative requirements or increasing payment rates.
In calendar years 2008 and 2009, less than 4 percent of beneficiaries who had Medicaid coverage for a full year reported difficulty obtaining medical care, which was similar to individuals with full-year private insurance; however, more Medicaid beneficiaries reported difficulty obtaining dental care than those with private insurance. Beneficiaries with less than a full year of Medicaid coverage were almost twice as likely to report difficulties obtaining medical care as those with full-year coverage. Medicaid beneficiaries reported delaying care for reasons such as long wait times and lack of transportation.
The Department of Health and Human Services reviewed a draft of this report and provided technical comments, which GAO incorporated as appropriate.
Why GAO Did This Study
Medicaid enrollment has grown significantly in recent years due to the economic downturn. This growth is expected to continue as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act potentially extends Medicaid eligibility in 2014 to millions of uninsured individuals. To better understand whether states are providing adequate access to medical care for beneficiaries, this report examines (1) states' experiences processing Medicaid applications, (2) states' changes to beneficiary services and provider payment rates, (3) the challenges states report to ensure sufficient provider participation, and (4) the extent to which Medicaid beneficiaries reported difficulties obtaining medical care. To examine the first three objectives, GAO administered a nationwide web-based survey to Medicaid officials on states' experiences from 2008 through 2011 and obtained a response rate of 98 percent. To examine the last objective, GAO analyzed data from the 2008 and 2009 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey, the most current available at the time of our analysis, to assess Medicaid beneficiaries' reported difficulties obtaining care, and the 2009 National Health Interview Survey to assess their reasons for delaying care. To provide context, we compared their experiences to those of individuals with private insurance or who were uninsured.

Every time I try to get off clonidine but when I stop taking it, my heart rate and blood pressure go way up. I also experience anxiety when trying to taper off the med. What do I do? Is it really possible to get off clonidine completely and my body return to normal?READ MORE
Clonidine is a powerful blood pressure medication that requires monitoring and regulation by your doctor. This medication can cause a dangerously high blood pressure in some people when the medication is discontinued, which is known as rebound. For this reason, your doctor should be the person who is lowering your medication and monitoring your pressure during this process. Other medication might be necessary to keep your blood pressure controlled.
To answer one of your questions: No, you cannot do this alone. You need your doctor's help and guidance.
Here are some articles you might find helpful as you're going through this:

Other than being under a doctor's supervision and the use of other medication for bp control, what is the formula (e.g., half the dose every few days or week, or reduce by .05 every few days or week)? I am taking .1 x 3. Surely, there has to be formula for weaning off this drug. Thanks........READ MORE
All call it the Devil because every since I've been on it, it's been controlling my life been on it for 8 years now and I want off of it so bad so I decided to go to ask.com and typed in how to wean off of it to get on the site and see so many people wanting to knw the same thing makes me even more scared 1 time I stop taking it just to see if it will affect me and I ended up in the hospital with a racing heart high blood pressure and mind gone doctors tried to wean me off several of times never succeeded because every time I try my heart rate goes up and then I'm having racing thoughts confused can't find things tht are right their irritable depressed and etc and I want my life back I have 2 kids and it's effecting my ineracting with them and I'm tired can anybody help or give advice?

To the suffering guys on Clo:
Clonidine is one very addictive medication that my colleagues should stop prescribing so easily!! I see a few mistakes were made. They did not lower dose gradually by 25% off every few days. And starting bystolic immediately after actually interacts with Clonidine, beta blockers make Clonidine rebound worse. In the leaflet of Clonidine, it says there should be a week between discontinuing beta blockers and dicontinuing Clonidine. Also: bystolic is an equally addictive drug that takes about 1 month to work. Shoudl NEVER start w 10 mg, but with 5 mg and gradually increase. NEVER ABRUPLY START OR DISCONTINUE, unless you want to visit an ER every week with even worse effects on pocket and health.
PS. Do not let idiots post dirty words on this website. They have no business here, they should be banned.READ MORE
Other than moderate hypertension the last few years, I am an otherwise healthy and fitness-minded athletic male of 54. I had been treating my HTN naturally until this year when I decided to try some pharmaceutical intervention. I apologize for being long-winded, but I have a lot to go over and your comments prompted me to post, hoping you (and others) could provide any assistance in successfully getting off Clonidine, as I've am having lots of trial and error and my nerves can take anymore. Wish my doc had never started me on the 0.2mg Clonidine transdermal patch back in mid-Feb., as I originally suggested we try an ACEI; he thought the transdermal would be a better alternative to the oral Clondine. Despite it lowering BP, I didn't like the continuing side effects (dry mouth, lethargy, orthostatic hypotension).I was aware of Clonidine rebound, having used the tablets in small doses but only for 1-3 days at a time and never experienced any significant or noticeable rebound. I therefore thought the patch was less likely to cause it, so I removed it after only NINE DAYS of being on it, also assuming I hadn't been on it long enough to cause any rebound. I was dead wrong. Within 36 hrs, I experienced my first rebound (BP 180/100 + the typical hyperadrenergic symptoms of tremor, anxiety, tachycardia). Since then, I have experienced five additional rebounds and have been struggling to taper off, moving from the 0.2mg to a 0.1mg patch and then off the patch completely. In each case of dropping the dose, the rebound occurred; obviously too much of a decrease, despite trying Verapamil (80mg TID) and finally adding Lisinopril (10mg qd). I had been on the patch system for only 48 days and now after my most recent rebound yesterday, am on oral Clonidine. I finally was able to have a compounding pharmacy make me up some 0.025mg capsules to help taper down from my last "addiction" set point of the 0.1mg patch. These ¼ dose caps were my idea, so I don't know if it'll work, but the docs agreed with me to move forward.A pharmacist suggested perhaps to double the dose of Lisinopril, but after doing much research, successful pre-treatment management of Clonidine withdrawal and rebound always involved using a beta-blocker concomittantly, so I explained to my doc we need a catecholamine depletor to accomplish this. He prescribed Bystolic. But when I further researched this drug in combination with Clonidine and that it may worsen the rebound + reading your posted comments above, I freaked out. I showed my notes to both docs, the ER doc, and a pharmacist and all said that these effects are highly unlikely and only occur in rare cases. Yet I'm still not 100% confident. I certainly don't want another monkey on my back to fight off rebound!This is an older study in which the subjects were on long-term therapy, at higher doses, and stopped cold turkey (not something I would ever do again): http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/handle/2027.42/33890/0000155.pdf?sequence=1The question is: a) do I really need a catecholamine depletor like Bystolic (that can also help reduce the non-blood pressure symptoms) during my weaning off protocol, or b) should I just try using the 0.025mg caps without any other meds, and taper of 1 cap every 4-5 days as you suggested? What if I rebound AGAIN?Or maybe use a benzo to manage the anxiety?I am praying that I will have an easier time weaning off the tabs as opposed to the patch. I truly hate to be on any meds, but in this case, I feel I must fight fire with fire.I can only imagine how acute the rebound effects are for those poor folks trying to stop from long-term therapy! I therefore think that the patch system is more "addicting" than the tablets because of the continuous release of active medication being released into the bloodstream 24/7, hence my rebound symptoms. Do you agree?Thanks for your assistance! READ MORE
I have been on Clonidine .1 mg 4x day for 2 years to control paroxysmal hypertension. I have cardiovascular disease, with 2 stents in my heart and have had an endarterectomy for carotid stenosis. Of course, this was an incredibly stupid treatment plan for a patient with cardiovascular disease. It has resulted in my being basically bedridden for two years—the worst possible result. In addition, Clonidine, nor any other drug, does not prevent paroxysmal hypertension. The only thing that can prevent it is surgery if it is due to pheochromocytoma. Unfortunately, mine is not due to a pheo, so no quick fix for me. Paroxysmal hypertension can NOT be prevented. It can only be treated when it occurs. A study of 14 hospitalized and stabilized patients showed that after 60 hours of being off Clonidine there was no more spike risk. It's getting from 0 to 60 that is the problem. I finally had to do it myself, after screwing around with idiot cardiologists while trying to get off it for almost a year. I did it by reducing each dose 50% until my body completely adjusted and I was experiencing the same side effects I had been experiencing at full dose. That is, extreme lethargy, very low blood pressure, and very low pulse rate. Then I stopped one dose completely—the dose that seemed the least necessary. For me, it was the dose I took at noon, but it might be different for other people. My BP spikes when I first wake up, as does everyone's, but my most dangerous time is evening to night. I stopped those half-doses one at a time, each time waiting for my body to adjust. In my case, it took about a week after stopping each dose before I was convinced there was no further risk and I could stop another dose. Go very slowly. If your BP spikes, go to the ER and tell them what you're doing and ask them to treat your spike with something other than Clonidine. You need to know that one of the side-effects of Clonidine is anxiety. You may be more anxious after using it than you were before you started it, and not aware of this because it makes you so lethargic. When you start coming off it, anxiety may be part of the challenge. Short-term low-dose Xanax works well—just be careful to not trade one monkey for another. Clonidine is a wonder drug for treating paroxysmal hypertension so long as it is used ONLY paroxysmally. Unfortunately, it has been my experience that non-pheo paroxysmal hypertension is not well understood and that cardiologists are among the most myopic and least rational people on earth. Dangerous, dangerous folk. If they don't understand your disease, they'll just treat you for a disease you don't have and destroy both your health and life. More money for them—at least until they kill you. READ MORE

Worse damn HPB medicine ever!!! Was taking 0.2 three times a day for over three years. Withrew over period of eight days. Been completely off it for past 12 days and feel terrible. Blood pressure is running 190's over 110's. Was started on bycolic 10 mg once a day (beta blocker)and teckturna 150mg (renin inhibitor) once a day but hasn't lowered my blood pressure. Wish my doctor had never started me on this horrible drug.READ MORE
Hey I hope this will help, I have been on Clonidne for 2 years for high blood pressure and not being able to sleep, i recently got severe withdrawal symptoms one day by taking the pill at the wrong time of the day.( vomiting, violent uncontrolable shakes, dizzyness, dry mouth, increased heartrate} I recently asked my doctor to lower my dosage so I can get this mess out of my system, so she dopped it from 0.2 to 0.1 for 14 days and 1/2 after seven days. I am only one day two taking 0.1 and i have had no sypmtoms for the first night of taking a lower dosage. I would advise you to speak with your doctor before you do anything on you own because it all depends on how much you were prescribed and how often you take it. This drug is extremely dangerous by stopping cold turkey so its better to taper off,( the day I took it at the wrong time the night I skipped was so horrible I went to the er where they gave me Zofran for nausea and vomitting) I was considering purchasing over the counter sleep aids once i completely lower my dose. They do not want to legalize marijauna but are prescribing precription drugs that are like meth once you stop. I am exercising daily to help with my pressure. If i would have known the effects of this drug when I was prescribed I would have never started it.READ MORE
Wow!I'm relieved to see other people having the exact same problem with Clonidine. I was put on .2mg 3x a day after being diagnosed with Post traumatic stress disorder after almost dying after being hit by a drunk driver(on a Sunday morning!).Anyway,Clonidine is one of the biggest nightmares I have ever encountered. If I don't take a full dose every few hours I literally start going into an almost immidiate withdrawl that has landed me in the ER 3 times because of the rebound Hyper tension.I also have gained 30 pounds because I'm so lethargic,I can't even begin to think about jogging around the block.I am also on 2 other blood pressure medications,and found this forum out of desperation to wean myself off of Clonidine and still be a functioning person.Has anyone else been successful with doing so and if so,how did you take down your dosage? At my last Doctors appointment I pleaded with my doctor to take me off of Clonidine and was immidiatly shut down with a "This is the best Medication for PTSD,no."Nice.I would love to hear back from anyone with advice regarding this topic. Now I'm off to take my Clonidine for the morning since I'm startng to shake-yay!READ MORE
i wish doctors would tell people of such conditions before prescibing such medications..there should be something done about this..ny doctor put me on this medication also, its been a nightmare, constipation and muscle aches, this nedication should be banned
Doctors are supposed to wean you off clonidine....I have been on clonidine for years and can't seem to get off of it.....any suggestions?? READ MORE

Genuine Moutune inlet manifold for the Mk2 Ford Focus RS
The highly-skilled engineers at Mountune identified an obvious performance and aesthetical improvement to all I5 engine's through the creation of a cast inlet plenum.
Extensive CAD and CFD work allowed an improvement to be made - particularly around the port entrance to each inlet as well as to increase the volume of the plenum itself to a more appropriate size for the 2.5-litre engine.
The inlet comes supplied with the required hardware for installation; fitting takes less than 30-minutes on a Focus RS and approx 90-minutes on a Focus ST (due to the need to remove the standard induction assembly).
Substantial performance gains can be expected on all I5 engines - some example graphs can be seen here showing the typical improvement to a Mountune Focus RS MP350, and also a Mountune Focus ST MP260. ( We will add graphs from our own conversions as soon as testing is completed)

Get this cool walllpaper at Planeta [8]
What it is:
Neither a pine nor an apple, the pineapple is actually a fusion of many "fruitlets". The pineapple is special for many reasons, but for the science nerds, this is one of the only bromeliad fruits humans eat. A bromeliad can be either an epiphyte (rootless, chillin' in the air) or a regular old terrestrial, such as the pineapple. (At long last, tropical biology in the Costa Rican mud pays off…gems, I tell you.)
Why it's smart to nosh:
Pineapple is the only food which contains natural bromelain [9], a group of enzymes that aid in digestion, reduce inflammation, reduce swelling, and speed healing. Bromelain is great for those with muscle and joint injuries, arthritis, gout and other inflammation issues. You do have to eat the pineapple fresh, however – cooking deactivates the bromelain (so much for feeling hopeful about the Carl's Jr. Hawaiian burger ads).
Pineapple is a rich source of manganese, an important mineral. Among many important roles as a cofactor, manganese helps superoxide dismutase do its free-radical-bustin' job.
Pineapple is loaded with antioxidant vitamin C, too!

Nothing wrong with the 1995 Buick Skylark GS coupe that a less overbearinggrille wouldn't cure. Luckily, just such a design change is coming for 1996. The 3.1-liter, 155-h.p., V-6 is responsive and fairly quiet and deliversvery good fuel economy at 19 m.p.g. city/29 m.p.g. highway. Driver-side air bag and ABS standard. Dual air bags and traction controlare coming for 1996 and though that will raise the price, the safety benefitsare worth the investment. Hold off for the '96. One question: Does Buick needa compact coupe? Base price: $17,230.

Garage Doors Open Fresh WorldsNovember 7, 2013 0 Comments
Garage doors all require springs to work, as they offer the tension and drawing power that lifts the door up on its tracks. Overall, there are two sorts of springs used for this: torsion springs and extension springs. Each one runs in a various fashion to draw the door up, and requires different sort of installation and maintenance to keep them in working order. Today we are going to go over the basic distinctions in between the 2 kinds, and the different perks and downsides of both.
To start, torsion springs are the most usual kind of garage door spring in use nowadays. For many contemporary homes, torsion springs are the most effective means to open your door, as it takes the least amount of space, operates silently and agrees with for the garage dimension of most suburban residences. Torsion springs are also more secure to make use of on dual wide doors as they raise from the center, avoiding any sort of potential wobbling in the door as it gets raised. Most residences are set up with just one spring for cost reasons, however 2 can be utilized if required or preferred.
Nonetheless, all of the advantages of torsion springs come at a cost - literally. Torsion springs are normally more pricey compared to their extension spring counterparts, both in regards to components and setup, which can be a hindering factor when obtaining a brand-new set up or switching out an older one. A busted torsion spring is additionally virtually impossible to self-service, as they require special training to deal with. This means that if anything does happen to go wrong, you'll be out of good fortune till you call an expert specialist.
Extension springs are the other type of springs made use of on garage doors. Extension springs are put in on both tracks and draw the door up by its sides.

But extension springs have a variety of setbacks in comparison to torsion springs. While it's possible to work a garage door with just one torsion spring, an extension spring system always needs two, one for each and every side of the door. As previously discussed, extension springs can't be made use of on broader doors, and deliberately they use up additional area compared to torsion come addition to being less aesthetically pleasing.
Just what kind of spring is appropriate for your house, then? This depends a whole lot on your particular home and budget requirements. In many cases, you might not even need to choose. If you're intending to stay just a couple of years in your existing residence and the springs are still fairly new, it's finest to simply leave them as-is. Depending on your fee of usage, the average set of door springs last anywhere from 5 to 12 years, which is loads of time if you're living in a put on a short-term basis.

I enabled in my WordPress adding excerpts for pages. Now I want to display on the home page excerpts only of those posts/pages that have an excerpt.
I'm using this code for this:
'order' =>'desc',
'orderby' => 'date',
'post_type' => array('post', 'page')
$page_query = new WP_Query($args);
if (have_posts()) : while ($page_query->have_posts()) : $page_query->the_post();
if (has_excerpt()) {...
But this doesn't work. When I use "array('page')", only excerpts of pages are displayed. When I use array('post'), only excerpts of posts are displayed. This is correct.
But when I use "array('post', 'page')", displayed are only one post and one page excerpt.
Any ideas how to fix this?

It would be useful if I could change the default behaviour for the urls of recurring events.
Perhaps I'm wrong, but I can't see a setting. Perhaps it just needs a a line of modified code???
Currently, if you click on the 'base' url for a recurring event, you get presented with the first recurring ever event in that series. (The date of the first event is added to the end of the url.)
e.g. http://retrotorque.com/social-network/classic-car-events/necpwa-york-monthly-club-meet/
automatically changes to:
I'd like it so that (instead of the first ever event) the date of the next event (if there is one) in that series is added to the url.
The reason I'd find this so useful is that I've added a slider for featured events. Rather than adding the events to the slider individually, it's much easier to add them as recurring events - as it's a one-time job. The only problem is that I need the slides to point to the next recurring event in each series (easy if the urls had this modified behaviour).
Hope you can help,
Mathew Taylor

One of the many things I've had trouble coping with is that the future just isn't what it used to be
This is in response to the idiot who called saying that Sikeston has only had a decent team since 1971. That is the most ridiculous comment. Sikeston has a great team and it isn't only Mike who contributes to the team - look at Cal, Qualin, Darryl and the others. Yes in my opinion Mike is a great player one of the best and he has a future ahead of him. But for crying out loud don't bash his father in the paper he is just a kid. Grow up.
- - -
If the Sikeston/SCC game does NOT happen, don't blame it on the Sikeston administration. Instead, blame it on those of you who are constantly working to create all the "hype" over this game. The fact is, there are Sikeston players who have attended SCC and there are SCC players who have attended Sikeston. Many of the players involved have played together on AAU teams and are good friends. A couple of SCC players were there this past summer to help Michael work on our family's home that burned in Cape. And I'm sure that some of the SCC players would tell you that their basketball skills were greatly enhanced by traveling all over the state these last few years and playing in over a hundred games with the "Sikeston Porters". I've read some really negative remarks lately, including one claiming that Michael's father could never keep up with Otto's father (who is 4 years older). Come off it! You'll probably soon be picking on my 13 year old for not being as good as his brother Michael! When we invested our time and money into developing the boys' skills, we did it for two reasons: No. 1, to keep them busy and out of trouble, and No. 2, to possibly help them earn a college scholarship. And when I say "boys", I don't just mean our own, but all the others who have played with us from Sikeston AND SCC. It seems like there are so many people who want this game, just so they can get in someone's face to brag about their school. If we DO play each other, it is to help both teams get better for the ultimate goal of making it to the championship. Now, to those of you who have made "positive" remarks about the game - it's like I've told my 4th and 5th graders so many times, "It's a shame when a few students spoil things for the whole class!" So, quit saying "They are scared". The only thing they are scared of is what could happen to families and friendships when other people get carried away with their attitudes. Thank you for your time.

Fed report on Erie's economy has both good, bad signs
Erie's gross domestic product is growing but its workforce is shrinking, according to a new report released by the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland.
Barb Chaffee, chief executive of the Erie Regional Chamber and Growth Partnership, said one of the most interesting parts of the report is a breakdown on employment growth by sector, which showed manufacturing jobs stayed stable even with cuts at GE Transportation.
"There are definitely mixed signals, but I think there are some good signs in there," Chaffee said. "We would still like to see more growing in manufacturing and construction."
The number of jobs declined in most of Erie's major industries, including construction, government, education and health services, information, and business services.
Even expanding industries, like hospitality and finance, grew more slowly than what was seen statewide and national.
Other highlights of the report include:
- Erie's unemployment rate as of February was 6.4 percent, 0.3 percentage points lower than the national average, and well below the 8.1 percent seen in early 2013. But the Cleveland Fed attributes much of the decline to a downward trend in the number of people looking to enter the labor force.
- Erie's GDP grew about 5 percent from 2010 to 2012, compared with 1.7 percent statewide and 1.3 percent nationally. The local GDP is still 1.6 percent below what was seen in 2007.
- Home prices jumped 5.7 percent nationally from early 2013 to March 2014, but rose just 1 percent in Erie over that same period. The good news is Erie's homes are worth about 5 percent more than they were just before the recession.
- Credit card delinquencies in Erie and nationally have steadily dropped since their peak in 2007, with Erie's delinquencies well below the national average and about on par with what is seen across Pennsylvania.

Correction: Texas Abortion Restrictions-Lawsuit
HARLINGEN, Texas (AP) – In a story Nov. 1 about abortion restrictions in Texas, The Associated Press reported erroneously that a Kansas law requiring doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital was in effect. A state judge has issued a temporary injunction blocking enforcement of the law pending a trial on its constitutionality.
A corrected version of the story is below:
Reinstatement of abortion law leaves few options
Reinstatement of Texas abortion law leaves few options for many poor pregnant women
By CHRISTOPHER SHERMAN and CHRIS TOMLINSON
Associated Press
HARLINGEN, Texas (AP) _ In a Texas abortion clinic, about a dozen women waited Friday to see the doctor, already aware that they would not be able to end their pregnancies there.
A day after a federal appeals court allowed most of the state's new abortion restrictions to take effect during a legal challenge, about a third of Texas' clinics were barred from performing the procedure.
Thursday's ruling made Texas the fourth and largest state to enforce a provision requiring doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges in a nearby hospital. In places such as the Rio Grande Valley and rural West Texas, the mandate put hundreds of miles between many women and abortion providers.
Anti-abortion groups welcomed the court's surprise decision, which they insisted would protect women's health. The ruling came just a few days after a lower federal court put the law on hold.
If women did not know about the ruling before they arrived at Reproductive Services of Harlingen, clinic administrator Angie Tristan told them. Abortions are a two-day process in Texas. On Fridays, women arrive here for their initial consultation with the doctor. On Saturdays, they return for the procedure.
Despite Tristan's explanation that they would not be able to have abortions on Saturday, some women decided to stay on the slim hope that something would change.
A panel of judges at the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans ruled that Texas can enforce the law while a lawsuit challenging the restrictions moves forward.
The law that the Legislature passed in July also bans abortions at 20 weeks and, beginning in September 2014, requires doctors to perform all abortions in surgical facilities.
But it is the provision about admitting privileges that has idled Dr. Lester Minto's hands here in Harlingen, near the Texas-Mexico border.
After the law was adopted, the clinic began preparing to close, shredding old patient records and drawing down their inventory, ordering only enough supplies to keep going for a month at a time.
Minto, who has been performing abortions for 30 years, predicted the women he sees would take dangerous measures in their desperation. He made clear he would not perform abortions Saturday if they remain prohibited, but he did not rule out taking other steps in the future.
"I'm going to continue helping girls somehow," he said.
Without access to his services, "they'll do drastic things," Minto predicted. "Some, they may even commit suicide."
He said he has seen women take various concoctions hoping to end pregnancies. Others have been beaten by boyfriends who pounded their abdomens with bats.
The communities Minto serves are among the nation's poorest. On top of that, many of his patients cross the border from Mexico, where abortion is illegal in most places. Others live in the U.S. illegally.
If this clinic and one in nearby McAllen are forced to close, women seeking abortions would be faced with taking days off work, finding childcare and paying for hotels in cities such as San Antonio, Austin or Houston.
That's more than many can afford, including a 39-year-old woman from Willacy County who was waiting Friday to see Minto. She spoke on condition of anonymity because she was fearful of the judgment she would face in her small, rural community.
The woman said she and her husband are happily married but already have several children. They're just getting back on their feet financially after her husband recently found work. The pregnancy was not planned.
"I just can't afford to have another one," she said, crying. But the money to travel north for an abortion isn't there either.
"It's so unfair. It's just politics," she said. "It's my decision. It's not anybody else's."
Asked what she would do if the clinic were not allowed to perform her abortion, she said: "I think I will have to go through with the pregnancy. I don't have the finances to travel."
Among the clinics that could not perform abortions under the current restrictions are those of Whole Woman's Health in McAllen, San Antonio and Fort Worth.
"Women who need our care will now have nowhere to turn, and the staff and physicians in our clinics now face furlough and likely unemployment," Amy Hagstrom Miller, the agency's CEO and president, said Friday in a statement. "This law affects real people, real lives and real families."
The Supreme Court prohibits legislatures from banning most abortions, acknowledged Joe Pojman, executive director of Texas Alliance for Life. But, he said in a statement, "states should have the right to protect women from dangerous abortion procedures."
Texas follows Utah and Tennessee in enforcing the admitting privileges law. Similar laws are under temporary court injunctions in Alabama, Kansas, Wisconsin, North Dakota and Mississippi, which also falls under the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. The appeals court has left in place the temporary injunction against the Mississippi law.
If lifted, the Mississippi injunction would force the state's only remaining clinic to stop providing the procedure. The Supreme Court has ruled in past decisions that lawmakers may not pass laws that would effectively end abortions in a state because that would put an undue burden on women trying to exercise their right to end a pregnancy.
In Thursday's opinion, appellate Judge Priscilla Owen noted that the Texas law would not end the procedure, only force women to drive a greater distance to obtain one.
Almost all Republican lawmakers who make up the majority in both chambers of the Texas Legislature are vocally anti-abortion and have repeatedly pledged to try to stop abortion. Gov. Rick Perry has also dedicated himself to making abortion illegal, saying late Thursday that his administration would continue "doing everything we can to protect a culture of life in our state."
Tomlinson reported from Austin, Texas.

Gouravam gets mixed reviews
Radha Mohan's Gouravam, which is the launchpad of Allu Sirish, the son of noted Telugu producer Allu Aravind, has garnered mixed reviews. The film, which was simultaneously released in Telugu and Tamil with the same title, has got better response in Andhra Pradesh than in Tamil Nadu.
Gouravam is made on a social evil and the content of the film seems to have attracted only a section of people both in Tamil Nadu and Andhra. Adding to that, the absence of regular commercial elements has failed to large extent.
However, critics have given mixed reviews for Gouravam. While the underlining points of the film are content, performances of the young and senior actors and the message, the main drawback is lack of entertainment values. Nonetheless, people have praised Allu Sirish for choosing an off-beat film to make his debut as an actor rather than opting for commercial potboiler just like his brother Allu Arjun and his cousin Ram Charan Teja.
Gouravam also features Yami Gautham, Nassar, Elango Kumaravel, Sricharan and Anupama Kumar in the cast. Follow the slideshow to read multiple reviews written by various website and newspaper...

The above link is to a thread on a uniform message board I'm apart of regarding possible logo/uniform changes for NFL teams next year. One of the posters apparently has inside info as to logo/identity packages for all 32 NFL teams. He (or she) said that all teams have given the go-ahead for Nike to start designing next year's apparel, except four. Three of the teams are Miami, Minnesota, and Jacksonville, all of which have either confirmed or have rumors concerning logo/uniform changes for next year. The poster also said that the two teams who delayed in giving the go-ahead for apparel designs last year were Seattle and Carolina, who ended up having new uniforms and logos, respectively.
The surprise fourth team is the Bucs. In the subsequent posts, the poster tries to calm people by saying that it could just mean a minor change (logo tweak, making the ship logo the primary, etc.), but he doesn't say that the delay could be totally unrelated to a possible change.
Though I think we have one of the best logo and uniform sets in the league, it is 16 years old with absolutely no change whatsoever. Even teams with undoubtedly classic designs have gone through slight tweaks here and there. It also doesn't surprise me all that much, considering it seems as if the Glazers have been really trying to get the idea of a "New era in Tampa Bay" (my term, as far as I know) across to fans. Don't get your hopes up too much, but this still is an interesting talking point.
Btw: The link should take you to the point in the thread where the Bucs are first being discussed.

I would recommend this product to anyone that wants their pets happy, healthy and flea free. It has a strong odor but it does what it says it does..KILLS FLEAS.and that is what really counts.
Kills IMMEDIATELY!!! if your cat doesn't like the spray then spray a towel and wrap animal hold for a moment or two dead fleas will COVER towel. Use also: furniture & clothing...any...every thing! AHHHMAZINGGG! Nothing compares!! Infinity stars!!!..Mikie Mutter Indpls In
The Mycodex I purchased for several years had a nice aroma. That was one of the things we liked about it.This has a strong alcohol smell. I don't know why the fomula was changed, but now I have to spray my dogs with an animal cologne to eliminate the smell. I'm not very happy about this. We used this because of the aroma and the formula for a long time.
I used this stuff for fleas so far with in 2 weeks I have had to apply it 2 times and still have fleas I live in Texas we are in the winter months, the flea problem is not real bad I found 3 to4 fleas on my dogs. it will kill adult fleas on the spot but will not keep them away or kill the eggs. it may be good as a daily treatment use but sure not every 2 months like the sell pitch says and that is why I bought it when I read use it every 2 months I was sold on the product. will not recommend this product.
I'm a standard poodle bredder and i need somthing i can put on my young puppies and this worked well i had to use it more then once every 2 mo. but still worked well

Big Pharma Could Be Big Loser Under Obama Health Plan
The latest comparison of the two presidential candidates' health plans offers a twist: a look at how they'd affect some of the biggest players feeding at America's $2 trillion-plus health care trough.
If Barack Obama wins Nov. 4, it's the pharma industry that stands to take the biggest hit, according to Boston Consulting Group. Its analysis concludes that Obama's plan to let the federal government negotiate Medicare drug prices could cut industry revenues by a whopping $10 billion to $30 billion.
That loss might be at least partly offset by Obama's plan to reduce the number of uninsured, which would likely increase the number of people able to afford prescription drugs in the first place. On the other hand, private insurers might follow Medicare's lead and insist on paying less for prescription drugs.
John McCain, the BCG study mentions, is "officially silent" on the issue of negotiating drug prices for Medicare beneficiaries. But McCain hasn't been shy about dubbing the industry "big bad guys." A few years back, he voted against the Medicare drug benefit partly because it didn't allow the government to negotiate prices. And (like Obama) he favors the re-importation of prescription drugs to save money.
That may help explain why drug company executives have donated about three times more to Obama's campaign than to McCain's.
The biggest winners under Obama's plan are hospitals, who'd likely gain $11 billion in revenues — instead of bad debt and charity care — from about 11 million newly insured people, the analysis says.
Under McCain's plan, pharma companies would suffer some as health plans get more restrictive of drug spending, BCG added. Insurers would see revenues decline as more people leave or lose employer-backed health coverage, though maybe make up ground in the individual plan business.
