Intense burning and itching of the skin.
Q: I can't sit on upholstered furniture. When I do, I experience this intense burning, itching of my skin. The same thing happens when I put on clothes that have been hanging in my closet for a while. I have to wash the several times before I can wear them. I can't sleep at hotels because of the skin irritations. I was retested for allergies. I'm allergic to dust mites. But when I was retested, it did not show a strong reaction to dust mites. This is affecting my quality of life severly. Even prescription hycortozine creams don't help. Do you have any idea what the problem is?
A: It is very difficult to tell what is causing all your symptoms. You have mentioned that you are allergic to dust mites, peanuts, dust, moulds, ragweed, catfish and most grass pollens, all of which suggest an allergic component to your problem. But I would suggest you to consult your doctor regarding other causes such as lipitor and trazadone (both these drugs can cause rashes and hives) and also check for liver enzymes as increased bilirubin levels can also cause itching of the skin.

Virginia's General Assembly is making good on promises to focus its attention on ethics reform in the wake of one of the biggest political scandals to hit the commonwealth.
Bills passed through both the House and Senate this week that would bolster transparency and strengthen disclosure requirements for office-holders. The legislation prohibits gifts above $250 to legislators and reduces a number of disclosure thresholds from $10,000 to $5,000. The House Bill also makes gifts to immediate family members subject to disclosure.
These actions make sense and we applaud our legislators' efforts in the Capitol. The 55th District's own freshman delegate, Buddy Fowler, is a copatron of the House bill and two of Hanover's state senators – Ryan McDougle and Walter Stosch – signed on to the senate version.
But in addition to disclosure requirements and gift caps, both bills also create a 14-member "Conflict of Interest and Ethics Advisory Council," tasked with reviewing and posting online disclosure forms filed by lobbyists and politicians while also offering formal opinions, informal advice education and training.
While this sounds good at face value, the members of this committee are mere political appointees. The speaker of the house, Senate rules committee and governor each appoint four members and the attorney general gets one appointment. They're also proposing a lobbyist from the Virginia Association of Counties or Virginia Municipal League be allowed membership on this committee.
Political appointees policing politicians – sure.
It would be hard to take this council seriously, especially when we've seen what happens when party politics creeps into "government accountability."
Former Gov. Bob McDonnell and his wife, Maureen, await their day in court on a slew of federal indictments alleging they accepted gifts and money in exchange for the use of Virginia's top office.
While they have yet to be found guilty, or innocent for that matter, the scandal has left a black eye on Virginia politics.
In the wake of the state's biggest ethics scandal in modern times, what we don't need is a cabal of political cronies making ethical judgment calls.

Good for Diabetic Neuropathy
Posted by Reviewer1557324 on Apr 17, 2012
I was diagnosed with Type 2, Diabetes 5 years ago. I am 70 years old. The worst case scenario for for diabetic is nerve damage in feet and legs causing burning, tingling and numbness and even amputations. Eye damage which can lead to blindness and kidney failure. Within the first year I began to have issues with my left leg and foot as mentioned above. I read about Lipoic Acid and that the R-Lipooic acid was the best kind. I started taking 500 Mg. per day, which is considered safe, even at 1200 Mg. I used Dr.Best and Life Extensions 300 Mg to make up the 500 Mg. dose. I no longer have any leg or foot issues. My Opthamologist said there was no evidence of any damage to my eyes. R-Lipoic acid is not a license to eat WRONG, but it has played a big role in preventing and reversing nerve damage for me I believe. Other diabetic I know are having their toes removed, walking with canes due to nerve damage, etc., and losing their eye sight. Learn to eat right and exercise and take R-Lipoic Acid and a high grade fish oil. Educate yourself on Diabetes, as you will get little help from your doctors as a general rule. Most Diabetic cook books are a mere hint of what they should be. Bitter Melon Capsules have also helped lower my blood sugar, which I buy from I-Herb. No one thing is a cure all for this disease. You must change your life style and eating habits.
Good eye health
Posted by Reviewer1637090 on Apr 23, 2009
The article that I read informed that R-Lipoic Acid was a good product to enhance eye health for patients with glaucoma along with traditional meds. I received the best eye test since I learned that I had the disease.
Hypoglycemia Helper
Posted by Reviewer1934518 on Mar 06, 2010
I have reactive hypoglycemia and this is one of the first supplements I've ever taken that really seems to help me. I researched on the web that ALA may lower blood sugar so I didn't try it for fear of feeling worse. For some reason I decided to try it and I was shocked I how good I felt. I even tested a very high carb meal and it didn't completely fix my reactive hypoglycemia, but I feel a lot better afterwards...like the sugar hangover is way less. I love this stuff and will take it forever probably.
Amazed by the difference when taking this
Posted by Reviewer1287175 on May 17, 2010
I've always battled sweet cravings and hunger pangs, and when I take this, those cravings are all but gone. The feeling of satisfaction after eating lasts much longer, and my energy level doesn't go up and down. I wouldn't have believed that this product could possibly make such a difference in my quality of life. Fantastic.
Most Cost Effective R-Lioic Acid (Corrrect Optical Isomer)
Posted by Reviewer1016912 on Dec 22, 2008
Best price per gram, very high quality product. Take with meals. Combine one to two doses a day with daily L-Carnitine. Note: L-Carnitine should be taken on an empty stomach. Taking these each day increases the efficiency of the cellular mitochondrial. Take these each day and forget about your morning coffee, you will have energy without caffeine.
best for your stomach to!
Posted by Reviewer2843227 on Sep 18, 2008
standard alpha lipoic acid burn my stomach, I have no problem with this one...
Great price
Posted by Reviewer1717652 on Mar 13, 2008
For Stabilized R-LA, this is a phenomenally-priced product. I suggest taking this slightly before or during your meal for the intended and best effect on health.
Best type of Anti-Oxident
Posted by Reviewer2505166 on Feb 05, 2008
R-ALA is best scavenger of free radicals because it is soluable in both water and fat. I use it for neuropaphy and it does provide relief. Would be better if it came in 300mg or 500mg size.
Amazing stuff!
Posted by Reviewer3298645 on Apr 09, 2008
I had been taking a formula designed to produce glutathione in the body. It contained Alpha Lipoic Acid. I took it for several months. I experienced some increased energy and less joint pain. However, the benefits didn't last. I did some research and found out about R-lipoic acid and Dr's Best Stabilized R-Lipoic Acid...I lost my sugar cravings in a couple of days and experienced an increase in energy that has continued for a couple of weeks now. I am looking forward to seeing what the future will bring on this supplement!
Great Stuff
Posted by Reviewer3234597 on Dec 12, 2007
Best R-Lipoic I've tried. Staple supplement I've used to lower blood sugar before meals.

William Reynolds, mayoral candidate, talks trash in Bethlehem
Posted: 8:00 PM EDT Apr 09, 2013 Updated: 6:04 PM EDT Apr 10, 2013
One of the men vying to be the next mayor of Bethlehem is talking trash.
Mayoral candidate William Reynolds made a statement Wednesday on Bethlehem's trash hauling situation.
The city is considering switching to a single trash collector, but Reynolds said he supports a private hauler system. He says he would like the city to be broken down into zones so multiple haulers could be used.
Reynolds' opponent, Bob Donchez, said he also supports a zone-hauling option.

GUSTAVE FLAUBERT grew up in Rouen and did not leave his birth city until he was nineteen when he went to study law in Paris. After three years, however, Flaubert abandoned law and began writing. His first finished work was November, a novella. In September 1849, Flaubert completed the first version of a novel, The Temptation of Saint Anthony. His exploration of themes of spiritual torment was just the beginning of Flaubert's controversial subject choices. His frank and realistic display of the sex, adultery and other goings-on in bourgeois France in Madame Bovary saw him go on trial for immorality, charges... Read More

A new translation by Adam Thorpe Gustave Flaubert once said of his heroine, "Emma Bovary, c'est moi." In this acclaimed new translation, Adam Thorpe brings readers closer than ever before to Flaubert's peerless text and, by extension, the author himself. Emma, a passionate dreamer raised in the French... Read more
Emma, a passionate dreamer raised in the French countryside, is ready for her life to take off when she marries the decent, dull Dr. Charles Bovary. Marriage, however, fails to live up to her expectations, which are fueled by sentimental novels, and she turns disastrously to love affairs. The story of...
For daring to peer into the heart of an adulteress and enumerate its contents with profound dispassion, the author of Madame Bovary was tried for "offenses against morality and religion." What shocks us today about Flaubert's devastatingly realized tale of a young woman destroyed by the reckless pursuit of her romantic... Read more
This exquisite novel tells the story of one of the most compelling heroines in modern literature--Emma Bovary. Unhappily married to a devoted, clumsy provincial doctor, Emma revolts against the ordinariness of her life by pursuing voluptuous dreams of ecstasy and love. But her sensuous and sentimental desires lead her only to... Read more
A book that deeply influenced the young Freud and was the inspiration for many artists, The Temptation of Saint Anthony was Flaubert's lifelong work, thirty years in the making. Based on the story of the third-century saint who lived on an isolated mountaintop in the Egyptian desert, it is a fantastical... Read more

why is the market so cruel to poor people like myself and others...lol Bought many shares at $65 and this stock imediately took a #$%$ right after..lmao I still rather laugh than cry. Stop selling people and have conviction in what you put your money in. Panic is a he11 of a thing.
Buy when there is blood in the streeets.... this looks like panic selling to take profits but this stock has a long way to go... shake out the weak hands and with a good quarter report (which I think it will be) we will be on our way up. I spent my life as a machinist. If you can go directly from design to a finished product without molds or the skills it takes to make them, your process will generate efficiencies and margins for your product that not only make it relatively inexpensive but that can be customized. This is a huge advantage in industry and manufacturing. Any thing a company can do to increase profit margins it will do. Any new method that gives them a price and profit advantage will be scooped up and used.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
I hear you. I bought and sold twice. The first time was a small 5% loss. I went in again and the DamDeD stock took another dump, This time I'm holding.
hang in there we've all been there before but be careful this big short guy Citron is ruthless from what I've read he doesn't play for 1 day be careful and good luck
yeah most traders and thats what your talking about panic.. its only a lose on paper..not a loss until you sell..if they hit it out of the park with earnings...this will go back up..will see in 10 days
Hold on to your shares.
i will but its tough. alot of people dislike the president and i cant help but think that him mentioning 3D caused many people to eventually dump this stock. lots of hate out there. hate only ends up hurting us all..lol

- I would like to purchase a quantity of Aiptasia for my Berghia Nudibranch. If you have some available, please respond. email@example.com
- Can we buy corals from you?
Pearl Bubble Coral
The Pearl Bubble Coral Physogyra lichtensteini is also known by such names as the Octobubble Coral, Pointed Bladder Coral, Grape Coral, Pearl Coral, Small Bubble Coral, Octopus Coral, and even the Tipped Bubblegum Coral. In the wild they grow in a meandroid fashion, where the polyps form valleys and hills. Though the P. lichtensteini was once quite rare in the aquarium trade, it is commonly available today.
The Pearl Bubble Coral is quite similar to the 'grape' corals or 'bladder' corals of the Plerogyra genus. Like the Bubble Coral Plerogyra sinuosa and the Pearl Coral Plerogyra flexuosa, the Pearl Bubble Coral has water filled vesicles (bubbles) that will actually inflate or deflate, depending on the light available. The bubbles differ in size however, with the vesicles of the Pearl Bubble Coral reaching only about 3 - 5 mm in diameter, while the Plerogyra spp. reach about 1/2" to 1" (1 - 2.5 cm).
The color of the P. lichtensteini can be pale gray, to a dull or bright green. During the day, its surface is covered with masses of small oval grape like bubble clusters that will retract when touched. These little bubbles will deflate when the sweeper tentacles come out at night, exposing it skeletal structure. Be cautious, while the bubbles do not have toxins, these feeding tentacles are capable of delivering a sting.
The Physogyra genus can be easy to moderate to care for as long as you don't blast them with sudden or high currents and high intensity lighting. The Pearl Bubble Coral is quite content with low lighting, gentle currents, and being careful to not damage their tissue. They enjoy, but do not require, bright light. If you expose a green or light colored Pearl Bubble Coral to high light levels, expect it to turn brown to compensate for the intensity. This it will not harm the coral, but to be kept under stronger lighting, they will need to be acclimated over a period of time. These guys, like their fellow "bubble corals" are hungry and need to be fed daily for best results.
Scientific name Family: Euphyllidae
Species: Physogyra lichtensteini
The family Euphyllidae, "... is a very large family of zooxanthellate scleractinans, that were previously grouped in the family Caryophylliidae (Mather, 1994). It includes such genera as Euphyllia, Catalyphyllia, Nemenzophyllia, Plerogyra, and Physogyra." Source: Tropical Marine Biology II, Classification of Scleractinian (Stony) Corals, by Pierre Madl, University of Vienna, 2001, Revised in Nov. 2002
Distribution / Background Physogyra Coral Information: The Physogyra genus was described by Milne-Edwards and Haime in 1851. There are 5 nominal and 3 true species in this genus, with the most familiar species being the Pearl Bubble Coral P. lichtensteini and P. exerta. Some common names these corals are know for are Octobubble Coral, Pointed Bladder Coral, Bubble Coral, Grape Coral, Pearl Bubble Coral, Green Bubble Coral, Octopus Coral, and Tipped Bubblegum Coral. The Physogyra genus has been reproduced in captivity.
Where Physogyra Corals Are Found: The Physogyra genus are found in the Red Sea, then south along Africa's east coast, ending 1/2 way down the continent, then eastward around Madagascar and the Mauritius Islands. They continue east to the top of Australia's northern coast, including the Great Barrier Reef, Coral Sea and Ningaloo Reef. From there, they continue east and are found from New Caledonia to Samoa. From Samoa, their habitat curves back north west to the Marshall Islands, Guam, and the Ryukyu Islands. Continuing back westward, they are found around Taiwan, Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia, and then back to Maldives, where they finally make a full circuit back to where we started, the Red Sea.
Physogyra Coral Habitat: The Physogyra genus are found in depths up to 131 feet (40 m) in turbid water with tidal currents. They inhabit lower reef slopes, caves or crevices, and under overhangs. They prefer protected habitats like crevices and overhangs in shaded or deeper areas of the reef. They can be found in low light areas that have almost total shade or in shallower brighter waters, yet all habitats have turbid waters.
Status The P. lichtensteini is not on the IUCN Red List of Endangered Species.
Description What do Physogyra Corals look like: The Physogyra genus grow in a meandroid fashion, where the polyps form valleys and hills. There are pieces of sharp, delicate, thin "bone" called septa in-between the bubbles, so care needs to be taken to prevent the bubbles from getting "popped" on this skeleton. Their septa are large, smooth and spaced well apart and they grow in a horizontal orientation.
During the day, the surface of the Physogyra spp. is covered with small grape like bubble clusters that will retract when touched. These oval water filled vesicles (bubbles) are not polyps, but modified tentacles which protect the delicate polyps beneath them. The bubbles will expand or contract as needed for acquiring more or less light during the day, but at night they deflate. Then 3 - 4" (7.5 to 10 cm) feeder tentacles, which CAN sting, emerge looking for food. There are also small short tentacles sometimes seen with the bubbles during the day, and these also do not sting.
The Pearl bubble Coral colors can be pale gray to dull or bright green, but will turn brown if the light is too high. It looks like a small version of the Plerogyra corals, which have the very large round bubbled surface. The surface of P. lichtensteini is covered by more numerous little "bubbles," which are about 3 - 5 mm in diameter. The "octobubble" term comes from the bubbles on the Pearl Bubble Coral, or Octobubble Coral, being "nippled" at the tip.
The Physogyra genus colony can grow to 12" (30 cm) in diameter, but most imported specimens are smaller. Their lifespan is unknown.
Difficulty of Care Physogyra Coral Care: The Physogyra genus can be easy to moderate to care for as long as you don't blast them with sudden or high currents and high intensity lighting. The Pearl Bubble Coral is quite content with low lighting, gentle currents, and being careful to not damage their tissue. Tickle the tissue to help it recede before lifting it out of the water. This will help prevent the tissue from tearing from its own weight against their sharp skeletal structure.
If you expose a green or light colored Pearl Bubble Coral to high light levels, expect it to turn brown to compensate for the intensity. This it will not harm the coral, but to be kept under stronger lighting, they will need to be acclimated over a period of time. These guys, like their fellow "bubble corals" are hungry and need to be fed daily for best results
When choosing your new charge, make sure the LFS employee gently shakes the coral until most of the bubbles deflate and recede. Removing it to air while inflated will cause tears in the flesh, leading to infection. Even if the coral is left submerged, the septa can cut into the bubbles against the bag it is being put into. Also, make sure there is no algae on the septa once it is visible. If you do see some, you will have to clean it off if you purchase the coral.
Foods / Feeding Physogyra Coral Feeding: The Physogyra corals are considered planktivores and have developed several feeding strategies. Through a symbiotic relationship with a marine algae, known as zooxanthellae, they receive many of their nutrients. They also capture planktonic organisms, food particles from the water column, and can absorb dissolved organic matter.
In captivity, they can be fed when the feeder tentacles are out in the evening with mysis, rotifers, enriched brine shrimp, Cyclopeeze and other similar sized meaty foods. Also you can shred whole fish or shrimp and feed the entire organism to the coral. Since different parts of the animal have varying nutritional qualities, this practice of feeding your Physogyra in such a way will yield good results. These corals are hungry all the time, so feeding as needed with various foods is helpful. That may also help keep them from sweeping their tentacles too far.
Aquarium Care Typical water changes of 20% a month, 10% biweekly, or 5% weekly are needed. It has been noted that 5% weekly water changes replenish many of the needed additives and it is ultimately cheaper than purchasing additives for the water. With higher concentrations of coral with calcareous skeletons though, there may be a need put in additional additives to maintain proper levels for good growth.
The following water supplements are suggested for Physogyra species:
A well-feed live rock/reef environment is what is needed for your Octobubble Coral, along with some fish for organic matter production. A mature tank is recommended. Provide gentle water movement and low to moderate light. They can actually increase and decrease their bubble size if they need more light. If you expose a green or light colored Pearl Bubble Coral to high light levels, expect it to turn brown to compensate for the intensity. This it will not harm the coral, but to be kept under stronger lighting, they will need to be acclimated over a period of time.
|Quick Reference Chart
|Water Flow:
They are fairly hardy but are more easily injured than other LPS coral species like the Elegance coral. There are usually pieces of sharp, delicate, thin "bone" called septa in-between the bubbles, so care needs to be taken to prevent the bubbles from getting "popped" on this skeleton. Feed them regularly and be careful to not damage their tissue. Make sure that no other corals can come in contact with your Physogyra as they are aggressive and will sting other corals.
Compatibility and Social Behaviors The Physogyra genus is aggressive, and their sweeper tentacles can punch a powerful sting to other corals as well as humans. They should tolerate their own species, but should be positioned away from all other corals. Despite their aggression, they have been known to die in the presence of a large leather coral population (Sinularia), since the leathers do emit a toxin that will harm the Physogyra. Hermit crabs also tend to pester them to the point of stress and death.
Sex - Sexual differences The Physogyra genus has colonies that are male and female, yet there is no way of telling the difference just by looking at them.
Breeding and Reproduction The large polyp stony (LPS) corals are male and female and can reproduce both sexually and asexually. In the wild they reproduce sexually by releasing eggs and sperm at the same time, resulting in a fertilized egg which then forms into a free-swimming planula larva. Eventually the planula larvae settles onto the substrate, becoming plankters. This then forms a tiny polyp which begins to excrete calcium carbonate and develops into a coral. Planula larvae are extremely vulnerable to predation, and very few survive. Physogyras reproduce asexually as well.
The Physogyra genus will release gametes for external fertilization from the male and female colonies. They are also known to bud when well fed and happy. Propagation needs to be left up to the coral. Cutting into the tissue will result in damage that can lead to disease. It is best to feed them well and keep them happy, then they will form buds which can be harvested and produce quite a few colonies a year! Just be patient. The larger your coral gets, the more "babies" it will give you.
Potential Problems The Physogyra spp. are susceptible to a few maladies. Here are some of the most usual ailments:
Availability Physogyra Corals for Sale: The Pearl Bubble Coral or Octobubble Coral P. lichtensteini is very easy to find at pet shops and on line. Online they can run about $35.00 to $70.00 USD or more depending on size and/or color.

What is the Nightscout project?
Nightscout (CGM in the Cloud) is an open source,
DIY project that allows real time access to a CGM data via personal website, smartwatch viewers, or apps and widgets available for smartphones.
Nightscout was developed by parents of children with Type 1 Diabetes and has continued to be developed, maintained, and supported by volunteers. When first implemented, Nightscout was a solution specifically for remote monitoring of Dexcom G4 CGM data. Today, there are Nightscout solutions available for Dexcom G4, Dexcom Share with Android, Dexcom Share with iOS, and Medtronic. The goal of the project is to allow remote monitoring of a T1D's glucose level using existing monitoring devices.
How Do You Get Your CGM in the Cloud
Determining the best way for you to approach setting up Nightscout depends first and foremost on the following:
- What phone will the T1D carry? (All solutions require the T1D to have a phone used as the "uploader.")
- What kind of CGM do you have?
The following chart offers an overview of the paths available to setting up CGM remote monitoring using Nightscout.
Get Started with Nightscout
- New! Android support for Dexcom G5
- Traditional Nightscout Installation (a wired Android "rig" for Dexcom G4 [non-Share])
- Nightscout with iOS and Dexcom G4 Share (Bridge)
- New! Nightscout Bridge for Dexcom G5
- Nightscout with xDrip and Dexcom G4 Share (Android/Wireless)
- Nightscout with xDrip Wireless Bridge (Android with DIY receiver)
- New! Nightscout for FreeStyle Libre
- New! Nightscout and Medtronic 640g
- Nightscout and Medtronic Veo/530
- Nightscout and Medtronic MiniMed Connect
- Watchface options
Nightscout has expanded rapidly. To quickly access the information you need, try the Nightscout Cheat Sheet (Links) resource.
Your CGM Data on a Watch
There are multiple smartwatch options for viewing CGM data. With a Nightscout site, options exist for Pebble (all varieties), AndroidWear, and Apple Watch. Learn more about watchface options.
How Does It Work?—(Original Nightscout)
The technology is rather simple: your Dexcom receiver continues to work as it always has by reading the glucose level of the T1D who is wearing the sensor/transmitter. The Nightscout system allows you to attach (or pair) a device to the Dexcom receiver that transmits the glucose readings to the Internet, where any web-connected device can view the numbers. It's that simple.
This image from the Wall Street Journal article, "Citizen Hackers Tinker with Medical Devices," illustrates the entire system. (Click the image for a larger view.)
What Does Nightscout Look Like?
Whether cabled or wireless, CGM in the Cloud solutions involve a phone paired with a CGM. In the original Nightscout setup, the cabled uploader phone and CGM was referred to as the "rig." This is the system that the T1D keep with them, in range of the CGM transmitter, to enable the upload of real-time blood glucose data.
The combination of the smartphone + Dexcom receiver allows data to be sent to the Internet. CGM levels can then be seen from anywhere in the world. There is no limit to the number of viewers.
During the install process several systems need to be synchronized using configuration menus in several different applications. These systems are required for the system to work. Once those systems are installed and synchronized, your personal website ultimately displays the data from the cloud using an Internet browser. Almost any device that can access the Internet will be able to see this website. The website works on many mobile devices such as tablets, laptops, Mac devices, and on any other web-connected device. Depending on how you set up Nightscout, viewers are also available for Pebble watch, AndroidWear watches, and Apple Watch.
What's It Like In Action?
Nightscout—CGM in the Cloud from Madeline Cobbler on Vimeo.
What Do I Do Now?
The sole purpose of your specific website is to display the data. Due to the caveats mentioned and for many other reasons, it is important to not rely on this for therapy .
Reading through the step by step instructions for your particular setup before you start will help prepare you for putting everything together and learning how to use the system.
Please note: Many of the resources and documents on this site describe the original Nightscout setup (which involves a cable and an Android). There are wireless solutions now available. Documentation is being added and revised on an ongoing basis.
All we ask is that you pay it forward because #wearenotwaiting.

Annual Report 2015
France's first museum of agriculture, the Musée du Compa, has a new highlight: a full-scale CLAAS tractor built entirely from Lego bricks. The ARION 460 PANORAMIC is made up of almost 800,000 bricks, including 388 different parts.
The mammoth task of construction was undertaken by the only certified Lego builder in France, from the company Sarl ERC Briques, and took 3,500 working hours.
The 3.5t CLAAS Lego tractor is an absolute gem and has been named 'TractoBrick'. It was given its place of honour in the museum's great machine hall, next to almost a dozen other genuine tractors depicting the history of the motorisation of agriculture.
The idea for the project originated in the Musée du Compa itself. A mascot was needed for the new permanent exhibition, and 'TractorBrick' fitted the description. The museum, renowned for its first-class exhibitions, is located in Chartres, about 80 km from Paris. It portrays the history of agriculture and agricultural engineering, and attracts more than 50,000 visitors each year.
The project was financed by public and private organisations, including the French CLAAS company, CLAAS Tractor. In addition, there was a successful fund raising campaign, which far exceeded the target set. Thanks to this, the Musée du Compa will be able to organise a hackathon from 2nd to 4th December 2016. For 48 hours, software developers will try to breathe digital life into 'TractoBrick'.
'TractoBrick' will not only be exhibited at the Musée du Compa but also at the French young farmers' festival, Terres de Jim, in September as well as at the CLAAS headquarters in Harsewinkel (Germany) in the coming months.

CLAAS has updated its VARIO 1230 and 1080 wide working width cutterbars and both models will incorporate a number of new features for 2017.
The new VARIO cutterbars are primarily designed for harvesting grain and rape seed and are characterised by their particularly high level of operating efficiency and rate of work across a wide range of yields. During ongoing development, the main focus was placed on increased throughput, a higher level of flexibility and greater comfort for the operator.
As on the smaller VARIO cutterbars, the table length of the 1230 and 1080 models is fully adjustable. The variable table position extends from −100 mm to 600 mm. The operator can easily change the table length using the ground speed control lever and adjust it at any time to suit short- or long-stalk grains and other crops such as rape seed. Even when harvesting dense crops, a steady crop flow can be achieved by selecting the right table length.
Due to the large 12.30 m and 10.80 m working widths of both VARIO models, the header auger and reel are divided and centrally mounted. This guarantees quiet and, most importantly, stable operation, even in difficult working conditions involving damp or dense crops, or during the challenging harvest of rape seed. Furthermore, the header auger and reel are especially strong, thereby ensuring a continuously high throughput.
Divided header auger and reel
One notable advantage of the VARIO cutterbar is the high-quality drive technology used for the header auger and finger bar. Both are mechanically driven through a gearbox and universal drive shaft. In addition to the reel and auger, the finger bar is also divided and has a double-sided, synchronous drive from both left and right. This guarantees very smooth running and stability in all harvest conditions, which contributes to the VARIO models' high rate of work. Both finger bars overlap at the centre of the cutterbar, thereby enabling a clean cut along the full working width.
The VARIO 1230 and 1080 models can be used with all CLAAS combine harvesters from the LEXION range and will be available for the 2017 harvest season.
Tailored to match the LEXION 700's VARIO 1230 cutterbar, CLAAS will be introducing its new grain tank unloading auger just in time for the 2017 harvest season. The auger is designed for a total loading width of 12 m and is therefore ideal for farms using a 12 m Controlled Traffic Farming (CTF) system.
Thanks to the 7XL unloading auger, the chaser wagon can now be driven along the last used combine harvester track when the combine harvester is unloading.
Using the 4XL unloading auger (which was the largest available until now) as a starting point, CLAAS has completely redesigned the 7XL and equipped it with a folding endpiece. This endpiece is 2.11 m long and folds by 120 degrees to sit behind the combine harvester during transport. It is operated using the familiar push switch on the CMOTION multifunction lever. A safety mechanism ensures that the endpiece can only be folded and unfolded when the unloading auger tube has been swivelled outwards into its correct position.
Until now, Controlled Traffic Farming has been practised primarily in dry areas of Australia. But farmers in Europe are now showing greater interest. Its fundamental principle is that all vehicles and machinery should only ever use the set tramlines which are established for each area of arable land right at the outset. Combined with plough-free, minimal soil tillage, this should improve soil structure and provide greater protection against erosion, as well as result in more efficient use of soil water and a lower tractive power requirement.
The 2.11 m long endpiece is folded behind the combine harvester by 120 degrees during transport.
The new 7XL grain tank unloading auger will be available in time for the 2017 harvest season for all new LEXION 700 combine harvesters which are equipped with a TERRA TRAC crawler track assembly and a reinforced 13,500 or 11,000 litre grain tank.
CLAAS also supplies all the other equipment that is needed to successfully apply Controlled Traffic Farming principles to the grain harvesting process: The 12.27 m wide VARIO 1230 cutterbar, a four-wheel drive rear axle that comes with a tire pressure control system, an automatic steering system, and the software required for automatic tracking planning.
Illustration of loading width and working width
Customers around the world value the CLAAS ROLLANT round baler primarily because of its versatility, simplicity and high quality of work under widely varying baling conditions.
Now CLAAS presents the new ROLLANT 620, the largest fixed chamber round baler on the market, with a bale diameter of 1.50 m. It has been developed for the harvesting of straw and hay with high throughput and bale density.
The new ROLLANT 620 produces round bales with net or twine wrapping, measuring 1.22 x 1.50 m in size. The new baler is fitted with a 2.10 m pick-up and comes equipped with a feed rotor as standard, thereby allowing it to achieve higher throughput and bale density. A ROTO CUT (RC) cutterbar is also available with seven knives. This is particularly advantageous when baling hay, as the short stalks produce bales that are stable in shape and can be more easily broken up later, despite the higher bale density.
The compression roller chamber is strong, features pronounced ribbing on its surface and is now equipped with screwed drive flanges. The ribbed surface on each roller enables thorough self-cleaning, a continuous crop flow during filling and ensures uniform bale rotation.
In addition, a new design of net brake means that the tension of the netting is higher during the tying process. This allows the netting to be cut more cleanly as well as resulting in nicely formed and stable round bales. The carrying capacity for rolls of twine or netting has been increased and with the capacity to hold six rolls of twine or two rolls of netting, this is enough for a full day's work. A new folding ramp for the rolls of netting makes it easier to load the machine and is a brand new feature in this class.
Folding ramp for the rolls of netting
New benefits have also been introduced with regard to maintenance. New automatic chain lubrication means that the chains are now constantly lubricated regardless of the bale count. The system is fed by a 3.4 l oil tank and ensures that the machine operates in a way that produces little wear and requires minimal maintenance.
New features relating to the operation and monitoring of the machine have also been added. Thanks to the CLAAS OPERATOR terminal, both of these activities have been made simpler and clearer. Using the terminal, the operator can display the baling pressure, view machine statuses such as tying, tailgate open or ramp up/down, delay the start of wrapping, or select netting or twine. In addition, the OPERATOR also displays the daily output and total output in terms of the number of bales. The operator also has a very good view of the pick-up from the driver's cab and therefore can always keep an eye on the crop flow.
Despite the improved performance in terms of throughput and bale density, the new ROLLANT 620 only has a power requirement of 80 HP, making it ideally suited for baling hay and straw on farms that run smaller horsepower tractors.
The ROLLANT 620 RF and RC will go into production in time for the 2017 harvest season.
With the introduction of the VARIANT 400 series, CLAAS presents a new range of variable round balers. The main focus of development work has been crop flow, but intake, wrapping and maintenance have also been improved, meaning that the balers are now more powerful, reliable and easier to use when harvesting straw, silage and hay.
The new VARIANT 400 series will replace the existing VARIANT 300 range from the 2017 harvesting season. As before, the new range will be available in two different bale sizes (0.90–1.55 x 1.20m and 0.90–1.80 x 1.20 m) as well as with (ROTO CUT) or without the cutterbar (ROTO FEED). There is also the option for the PRO cutting floor with hydropneumatic suspension as well as the XXL pick-up with a width of 2.35 m.
A dual roller crop press, the same as that fitted to the QUADRANT square baler and the JAGUAR forage harvester, is now also available for the pick-up. The dual roller crop press is suspended and can be mechanically switched between four different settings without the use of tools. It allows the intake to be quickly adjusted to suit different operating conditions and ensures a more uniform and faster crop flow, meaning that the new VARIANT models can be driven at higher operating speeds. In the case of the PRO version, the cutting floor automatically drops when there is a risk of blockage, meaning that the baler can always be driven at its optimal level of performance.
In addition, the two oscillating castor guide wheels that steer the pick-up along the ground have been reinforced and can now be folded when using the XXL pick-up to reduce the transport width.
Improvements have been made to the new models' star rotor structure. The star rotor now turns through 360 degrees instead of the current 180 degrees. The new star rotor structure uses 14 knives, reaching a rate of 6,000 cuts per minute, thereby ensuring that the flow of material is widely distributed when it is fed into the bale chamber, which results in uniformly shaped bales. This is an advantage particularly in the case of narrow swaths.
360° rotor star structure
The new models' system for the intake of net or twine has also received an overhaul. A new plate assists with the insertion of netting or twine into the baling chamber, which means that you can be sure that the tying process will start properly under all harvesting conditions.
The new VARIANT models come equipped with edge-to-edge net wrapping as standard, which stretches from one corner of the bale to another. This has been improved for the new range by actively taking the netting to the outer edges of the bale during the tying process with the help of a new spiral roller.
There is also the option for the VARIANT 400 to be equipped with a wider netting trough. This enables the use of 1.30 m wide rolls of netting, which will lay the netting over the edges of the bale. Rounded bale edges are of particular advantage if round bales are to be stored outside.
The front frame of the new VARIANT 400 has been reinforced so that the belt is better guided which will reduce wear. Nevertheless, inside the VARIANT the belts still move at a speed of up to 3 m/s.
When it comes to discharging the bales, this also takes just a matter of seconds. CLAAS has redesigned the pivot of the tailgate in such a way that it can be opened and closed even more quickly, allowing the bales to be discharged in less than 6 seconds.
The baler's chains are subjected to just as much wear as the belts. This is why the new VARIANT models come with the option of continuous lubrication by means of a central lubrication system. The balers have been fitted with a wide lubricating brush, which coats all chains, including the pick-up chain, with oil, regardless of the bale count.

Is Criticism Of Mavs' Vince Carter Fair?
In our mind's eye, the Dallas Mavericks have spent the last two seasons allowing Vince Carter to climb the offensive totem pole when, we think, at age 36 he should be slipping down it.
This becomes a Mavs talking point especially after Friday's 88-87 loss at Atlanta in which Dallas seemed to design a play for Carter, who took the final shot -- a bad 22-foot miss -- that really gave the Mavs no chance to win.
The stat-based arguments against the strategy are many. Vince was in the midst of a 3-for-10 night from the field. He was in the midst of a week in which he shot 9-of-33 from the floor.
And what he did last year in these situations seems to indicate that coach Rick Carlisle has himself a "pet'' and is picking the wrong guy in the wrong situations.
*Last Nov. 18, DB.com noted that at the time, only 35 NBA players had taken more shots in the 2012-13 season than Carter. All 35 of them had a higher scoring average than Carter. All 35 of them were starters on their respective teams. Only six of them were shooting a lower percentage.
*By the time the season ended, according to our research in "clutch situations'' (one minute or less remaining in a game within three points either way): OJ Mayo had hit 6-of-9 attempts (66.7 percent). Dirk was 5-of-10 (50 percent). Darren Collison was 3-of-9 (33.3 percent). And Carter? He had hit 3-of-11 shots (27.3 percent).
So is Vince Carter not "clutch''? Or are the Mavs simply relying on him too heavily?
My Fox Sports Southwest colleague Mark Followill, the Mavs' terrific TV play-by-play voice, helps us out here, arguing that when it comes to clutch-time performance, it's not the latter.
*In the fourth quarters of games this season, the Mavs have 351 field-goal attempts. Only 29 of those have been taken by Vince, a number that certainly doesn't seem out of whack.
*Are turnovers a problem? Dallas has committed 75 of them in final quarters; just five of those have come from Vince. And in the final five minutes of games within six points or fewer, Dallas has 10 turnovers -- none of those from Carter.
*For the most part, the clutch-time field-goal attempts are going to the right people in the right totem-pole order: Dirk has 22, Monta has 15, Calderon has six, Marion and Dalembert each have four, Mekel two, and Blair, Crowder and Vince one each.
Maybe far more notable than Vince's numbers in these circumstances is this: Dirk has made nine of those 22; Monta has made just two of his 15.
So there's an easy argument to be made that while Vince Carter hasn't been good enough or hot enough to be a go-to guy, Ellis in particular could stand to be more effective in this department, and yet ... on Dallas' 20 made "clutch'' field goals, Monta has two of the buckets and assists on seven of the others.
Entering Saturday's visit from Minny, Carter had made less than 35 percent of his shots in five of six games. He'd shot 40 percent or worse in seven of the last eight games. Yet the Mavs essentially went back to that same Friday night well, with Vince again taking 10 shots and again playing 30 minutes and again making just four of them in a Dallas loss.
Even if Dallas views him as a member of its "Big Three'' (a silly notion, I think) and even if Dallas views him as a go-to guy (dubious because of the lack of supporting evidence), isn't there a point where he's viewed as being "not hot''? Or "not shooting well''? Or "not playing well''?
"As we move forward,'' Followill says, "it will be interesting to see if it's a matter of 'Father Time, Bro,' or if Vince will get on a better track when Devin Harris and Brandan Wright are back and presumably playing with him off the bench.''
In other words, Vince Carter might be better if he's slid just a notch or two down that totem pole. (Or "food chain,'' as Carlisle has taken to calling it.) Maybe that can happen Tuesday with the 8-10 Bobcats in town, as Jose Calderon (ankle) may make his return to the lineup -- and to the quintet that finishes games.
None of this is an argument about Carter's overall value. He made just $3.09 million last year, a bargain in comparison to his production, which was almost Sixth-Man-of-The-Year-worthy. He's due $3.18 this season. Again, overall performance and leadership taken into consideration, the Mavs have every reason to view this as a sweet deal. He will likely approach his final numbers from last year -- 13.4 points, 4.10 rebounds and 2.4 assists -- and he will almost certainly find a hot-streak rhythm.
Consider: From Jan. 18, 2013, and dating to the middle of the last week of last season, Carter played 22 games. During that time, as Dallas vaulted into playoff contention, he averaged 15.9 points, 48.5 percent from the field, 50.4 percent from the arc, four rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.2 steals.
In his mind's eye, he's ready to break out and recapture those numbers at any moment ...
"I pride myself on being fearless and not being afraid to take the big shot,'' Carter told us at that time, when he helped Dallas make its come-from-nowhere playoff push. "I'm going to hold my head up high, regardless, but (missing a clutch shot) has never set well with me. I feel like that's my job."
Followill points out what I see as the real failing with Vince so far this year. It's not Carter's number of clutch-time shots; it's all the other minutes in the game, when his subpar numbers (10.6 points on 37-percent shooting) are helping to cause an overall dip in bench production.
In every Rick Carlisle season in Dallas, the Mavs' bench has ranked in the top five in the NBA in scoring. Right now, Dallas hovers at 16th. So maybe it's not so much that Vince needs to be better in the final five minutes or final three minutes. Maybe it's that he's not playing well enough in the first 43 or 45 minutes.

I was cleaning my '51 Navy and didn't have the piece of antler that I usually use to tap the wedge out handy, so I used the rim on a 30-06 case I had handy. Worked great. Just thought I'd pass it on.

I use a cut off handle of a tuff telon/nylon/plastic white round handled brushes. Filed down with a hoof Rasp(heeHee)funny but true to a wedge shape the width of your wedge to tap or hammer it out with no damage.
If no white round teflon brush is readily available use your old toothbrush.

I fit mine with a fine file and stone. I can push mine out with my thumb or a light tap with a screwdriver handle.
September 1, 2008, 06:33 PM
A piece of wood dowell, an old drum stick cut short, a standard brass punch (leaves brass marks) a standard Delrin punch or whatever small block of wood happens to be within reach. It takes such a light tap, or a few light taps, that we're not talking a big issue here. I use whatever's handy. Usually that means a Leatherman tool, folded as a mallet, with several layers of cleaning patch or paper between the two. You don't see any dents or other marks on my gun or wedge either.
I figure if I can't push the wedge out (Colt's called it a "key") with my two thumbs with moderate pressure, it's tight enough. Usually that's about four light taps with the Leatherman going in, and one or two coming out.

At suburban Detroit's Henry Ford West Bloomfield Hospital, patients will indulge in gourmet room service, stroll walking trails and take cooking classes. A former Ritz-Carlton executive is running the show.
The description seems more day spa than sick bay. But hospitals are finding it pays to pump up the perks as they compete for patients who want a bit extra - and have private health insurance. Proponents add that these amenities promote healing and stress relief.
Others see a chasm deepening between hospitals pushing into leafy suburbs to grab market share and those serving poorer patient populations. Quentin Young, a longtime Chicago doctor and national coordinator of the nonprofit Physicians for a National Health Program, calls it the "edifice complex."
Because private health insurance offers better reimbursement than government payers like Medicaid or Medicare, the perks are partly meant to lure in more profitable patients, according to those who study health care trends.
The clinical care at the Henry Ford Health System's new hospital, set to open in March, will be no different from what it offers at its older, flagship hospital in downtown Detroit, according to the not-for-profit hospital chain's chief executive, Nancy Schlichting.
However, the design and other services are meant to stand out.
The $360 million hospital's atrium resembles a northern Michigan Main Street complete with storefronts that will offer health and wellness products geared toward women, who hold most of the purchasing power in health care, said hospital Chief Executive Gerard van Grinsven.
"Women are not satisfied anymore in getting traditional medical care," said van Grinsven, who came to Henry Ford from the Ritz-Carlton hotel chain with no hospital experience. "They want activities and programs to help them in their physical and mental well-being."
Hospital leaders say many of the amenities they stuff into modern designs happen because today's patient wants more than just top-line care, a palatable meal and a clean bedpan. Take Internet service, for example, which has become common in patient rooms.
"I have an 85-year-old aunt in Indiana who I don't think wants to be away from her computer very often because that's how she keeps in touch with her family all around the country," said Rick Wade, senior vice president of the American Hospital Association.
He also noted that fewer people stay in hospitals these days, thanks to the growth of outpatient care. Those who fill beds generally receive "pretty intense treatment."
Many hospitals tout single rooms, made more common by federal regulations protecting privacy. Many also offer valet parking.
Hospital leaders say these extra touches all have a purpose. The artwork - paid for by donors - and the concierge offer stress relief.
"We don't do things just to look pretty. We have a purpose behind it," said Mark Hayden, senior facilities project manager for the hospital's parent, Community Health Network.

Dungeons & Dragons Online: Stormreach
A question about the "Search" ability.
- Topic Archived

- Dungeons & Dragons Online: Stormreach
- A question about the "Search" ability.
The reason I ask is, if I have high stats in "Spot" and "Listen" and my character hears a wind sound coming from an area in an instance, and my friends character has high stats in "Search" and uses the search ability, will he be able to find the source of the noise?
Thanks in advance.
(P.S. Sorry for using the phrase "Max stats in...", but I don't remember the correct terminology at the moment.)
If you have high ability scores in "spot" you might detect secret doors and traps. Though without any ability to "search" you will not be able to locate the doors or be able to find the trap box needed to disarm the trap.
I guess to answer your question. Yes if you have a high spot and listen abilities you would detect something in the area, and then if you had someone with you who had a high search ability he could then locate what ever you detected.
JRG, thank you for the reply. Glad to know that my friend and I didn't waste points when we made our characters.
Search is a static ability that works on a per-character basis
if your search is high enough, you find the secret, if it's not, it's not, one person detecting something nearby adds no benefit to another person's search
Usually, most Dungeon Masters are hell bent on killing off every PC to make the campaign challenging -Rej72380
Playing: WAR Server: Ostermark Name: Verleid
Spot/Listen is used to detect the fact that there is a door/trap nearby, but you have no idea where it is, just that it is there. Search lets you find doors/traps, and then intreract with them (to open/disable).
You can find (with Search) things you have not detected (with Spot), either by randomly using nthe Search skill, because you are 'Searching' the whole dungeon, because someone else detected it and told you 'try Searching here', or because you KNOW something is there (from previous runs or guides).
Also, using your observation skills as a player (and not your Spot stat as a character) might hep in finding a lot of secret doors.. when you see stairs leading into a wall, try Searching, even if your character's Spot is too low to detect a doors' presence, there's a good chance it is there.
Also, SerahcSpot are not simply a number that is used to find a door. For example, any given door does not require '25 Search to find'. Instead doors/traps have DC (difficulty classes), which you need to beat with a Search/Spot check (which is to say, a d20+your Search/Spot).
Also, Spot is passive, and is used whenever you walk near something that is 'spottable', while Search is an active skill, and you hae to consciously 'use it' to find anything.
