MAYWOOD, Ill. - Dana Hayden, MD, colorectal surgeon at Loyola University Health System, accepted the 2013 Robert W. Beart, MD, Impact Paper of the Year Award from the American Society of Colon & Rectal Surgeons.
The paper, titled "Tumor Scatter after Neoadjuvant Therapy for Rectal Cancer: Are We Dealing with an Invisible Margin?" offers evidence-based guidance on microscopic tumor cell response to radiation.
"Our study suggests that after radiation, the gross ulcer cannot be used to determine the sole area of potential residual tumor and that cancer cells may be found up to 3 cm from the gross ulcer so the traditional 2 cm margin may not be adequate," Hayden said. "Also, local excision of the ulcer or no excision appears to be insufficient treatment for rectal cancer because there are microscopic tumor cells present under normal-appearing tissue." Participating patients had elective radical resection for rectal cancer after preoperative chemotherapy and radiation performed by two colorectal surgeons between 2006 and 2011.
"It is a privilege to accept this prestigious award on behalf of my colleagues," said Hayden, MD, MPH. "It is our hope that our work benefits physicians in their care of rectal cancer patients."
The American Cancer Society estimates that this year there will be 40,340 new cases of rectal cancer in and 102,480 new cases of colon cancer. The overall lifetime risk of developing colorectal cancer is 1 in 20. Colorectal cancer is the third-leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States when men and women are considered separately, and the second-leading cause when both sexes are combined. It is expected 50,830 people will die of colorectal cancers this year.
Co-authors of the paper include Hayden; Shriram Jakate, MD, Rush University Medical Center; Maria C. Mora Pinzon, MD, Rush University; Deborah Giusto, MD, 4Path Pathology Services; Amanda B. Francescatti, BA, Rush University; Marc I. Brand, MD, Rush University; and Theodore J. Saclarides, MD, director of the Division of Colorectal Surgery, Loyola.


text: My 2006 STS is in need of new tires. I am limited in my selection of tires due to the staggered sizes. It is also a leased vehicle till 1/2009. Has anyone had any experience with either Falken 512, Kumho AST or Firestone Wide Ovals? These tires are much less expensive then the garbage Michelins MXMH that came with the car. These tires are also "W" rated rather then "V" rated that were original equipment. Any thoughts, or experience is appreciated.

Designer Angelos Frentzos presented a unique show with guests sitting upright near the catwalk and smoke coming out constantly. The show began with a singer on stage singing electronic-pop music. Shortly after, models took to the Athens fashion week (AXDW) catwalk with very impressive clothes with an emphasis on dye techniques. Men wore shorts or salvari combined with leggings from within. The look was then completed with boots and hats, while the combination of formal tops with informal bottoms was conspicuous in this collection.
Women wore preppy jackets with either tight pants or dresses. Prints that were used by the designer were very impressive, and we saw playing cards and ancient statues in various parts of the collection.
Gray was one of the most basic colors but there was also beige, black and details with red and green. The rock mood of the designer came across as fresh and dynamic.
You can see all of the Angelos Frentzos autumn (fall) / winter 2013 runway collection by clicking on a thumbnail on the left. From there you can browse through each of the pictures from the fashion show.

The early bird catches the best breakfast!
Trip Start Mar 22, 2007
12Trip End Apr 01, 2007
After leaving the tower we headed to met the rest of the group and went to the Pike Place Brewery were we continued or research on local fermented beverages....I think that the research is going to be shocking! So Nathan, who we have decided has a hollow leg needs chocolate after every meal.....not complaining here....well we were on mission, we managed to find a great place where the views were great...views of others that is....there were men in heels, and leather...which brought us to the conclusion that this may be a different kind of area.....yeah, Deja Vu maybe! So since eating and walking are our 2 main things.....we walked home and took a nap and prepared for .....more eating! We went to a great Pizza place and found a couple establishments that helped with my research. After the pizza, we headed to North Seattle to a place called Belltown....this is where we found a pool hall and resumed research once again.....now on the way there we had our leftovers and were approached by homeless, of which I gave them my pizza....but the best was the Little Asian woman singing Amazing grace with only the tune recognizable....we were in shock! If you were wondering about how well the pool games went.....well the girls lost...BAD!!!

Tree mitigation in Broadmoor area hitting new high
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Wildfire fears are forcing action across our cities and state. It's usually high above neighborhoods.
"Well it's frightening and I'm concerned enough that I'm taking steps to mitigate my property as much as I can," said Don Gazibara.
Gazibara has lived in the Broadmoor for 20 years. This is the first summer he's gone so far as removing more than 40 scrub oak and other small flammable trees from his property.
"Why not do it before? That's a good question," said Gazibara.
Trees in the Broadmoor area are coming down by the boatload. Companies like Eco Tree Service spent Thursday high above the neighborhood in the shadow of Cheyenne Mountain.
"The high winds we've had lately are causing a lot of limbs to fall down on the property," said Martin Karner with Eco.
Karner said going with a licensed tree service is the best option but simple mitigation can be helpful as well. That includes removing pine needles from underneath trees, lifting or cutting branches on nearby trees up to a minimum of 10 feet around the property and clearing all brush and dead limbs from the property.
For Gazibara, he's had to give up a little privacy for protection but he believes it's worth the trade off.
"The fires we've see in Colorado have been just close enough that they certainly got our attention and we decided we needed to do something constructive to protect our homes as much as possible," said Gazibara.
Gazibara is also looking into replacing his wood shingles with metal ones.

Bye, Bye Breakouts: 5 Sunscreens Perfect For Your Sensitive Skin
Posted Tuesday April 3, 2012 3:15 PM GMT
We all know how important it is to protect our skin from the harsh rays of the sun.
However, not every beam-blasting sunscreen created for your bod will harbor the same light-resistant results when slathered on your face.
Often times, SPF users experience extreme drying or mega breakouts when potions appropriate for arms and legs are applied to the facial area. This is generally caused by the lotion's oily nature, as well as other skin-irritating elements they contain.
Luckily, we've found some fantastic face-only creams that won't leave you fighting flaky skin and unsightly pimples. Better yet, we got our hands on a couple all over solutions gentle enough to be rubbed on to your frame as well as your all-important kisser.
So, now that our mission is complete, we'd like to pass along the names of five summer-ready sunscreens that will not only protect your outer layer, but also help to maintain its natural, healthy glow, free of any kind of frown-inducing breakouts!
Clarins UV Plus Day Screen SPF 40, $42: This product glides on silky-smooth and won't feel heavy or over-bearing on your complexion. Its lightweight formula allows makeup to apply smoothly when layered underneath and lends ample sun protection all day long.
Colorescience Pro Sunforgettable Brush SPF 30, $50: A growing trend in the sun protection realm, this mineral powder is a fantastic way to reapply sun protection even over makeup! It applies in a very lightweight manner and will combat those harsh rays fabulously. One thing to remember though, if you're planning on going for a swim, opt for a lotion. The mineral powder coverage is ideal for non-aquatic activities.
Aveeno Continuous Protection Sunblock Lotion for the Face SPF 30, $8.49: Mega affordable and uber-protective? Sunscreen doesn't get much better than this! Its non-greasy formula won't leave your skin feeling gooped up and it won't cause you to break out either. This product has even been reported to make skin appear smoother after a few uses! We'll take it!
Clinique Super City Block Oil-Free Daily Face Protector SPF 40, $16.50:
You can use this alone or as a base under your makeup and will stay on all day despite any elements you may brave throughout the day. Its oil-free formula will cause pores to stay clear and your face pimple and blackhead free! It will also lend your complexion a matte look, opposed to other products that leave your facial skin shiny and glossy.
Jan Marini Skin Research Antioxidant Daily Face Protectant, $48:
Equipped with micro-sponges to absorb excess oil, this product not only protects skin from the sun, but also keeps it shine free – and it smells good too (always a plus). The price may be a little steep for some shoppers but we promise, a little goes a very long way and it's a small price to pay when you consider how much protection your lending your lovely face!

A sophisticated and stylish way to let someone know that you fancy them.
by louis October 24, 2001
Nice shoes...wanna fuck? Lyrics: Carve another notch in your bedpost, whore. Lay back and tally up the score. Count the number of hearts you've ripped from chests. Then put your pretty eyes to rest. They've had a long day of looking for love in all the wrong places. Putting too much stock in pretty faces. When will you learn there is a difference between lust and love?

There could be some earnings downgrades coming for
Dulux reported a like-for-like net profit after tax of $79.6 million on Wednesday morning, 2.6 per cent higher than last year.
CIMB analyst Julian Guido said weaker-than-expected, second-half earnings performance was likely to drive downgrades to the stand-alone business, worth up to 10 per cent.
Guido said it was not a disaster relative to other stocks in the sector, such as
Dulux shares were down 1.5 per cent to $3.25 following the result.
Macquarie analyst Cameron Pierce told clients Dulux's operating cash flow and balance sheet were in good shape. Pierce said Dulux delivered cash conversion of 92 per cent
Dulux said it hoped to fully acquire
"Current expectation is that excluding transaction and acquisition integration costs, the acquisition will be earnings per share accretive in the first full year of ownership," Dulux told investors.

Interested in headstones since childhood, I find visiting graveyards a great way to study history. As I wander about in cemeteries, I run into interesting people and through information on the tombstone, I am able to research these individuals and discover fascinating stories about them. I live in Oklahoma City and would be happy to take pictures of any memorials.

Richard R Seymour
http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=21438670 Where the link from Geraldine's memorial goes
This headstone shows a Richard Seymour buried with a Sybil M... with a reference to their children.
His wife is listed as Geraldine Fast,
A Geraldine Fast was married to a Richard Roy Seymour. But ??
Name Richard Roy Seymour
Event Type Marriage
Event Date 14 Mar 1936
Event Place Madison, Ohio, United States
Age 22
Birth Year (Estimated) 1914
Father's Name Ben Seymour
Mother's Name Laura Davis
Spouse's Name Geraldine Fast
Spouse's Titles and Terms Miss
Spouse's Age 21
Spouse's Birth Year (Estimated) 1915
Spouse's Father's Name Oliver Fast
Spouse's Mother's Name Della May Taynor
He may have been remarried, but that is not clear in the information. Perhaps it is a different Richard Seymour and the links ? need to be adjusted ?
I don't know enough at this point, so I am not arguing any point at all, just noticing something that doesn't quite fit the way it is by itself. Sorry :/ I don't really know more and can't help much, but thought I'd mention it in case :)

Marion Ella Childress Cox
Thank you for taking the picture of my grandfather's headstone. My children and I were there a few years ago to see it in person. Just wanted to try to correct the information on my grandmother's entry. She is still very much alive. My grandfather, Frank T. Cox, passed away in December of 2000 and when his headstone was placed, they included my grandmother's birthdate in anticipation of her eventual passing and burial. But she is looking forward to celebrating her 94th birthday this August. Can this information be corrected?

I am new to raspberry Pi.
I have a garage door which is powered by a motor. On top of the motor is two pins, when a wire is put between these two pins for half a second and removed, it connects the circuit and sends a signal to open the garage door.
The idea of these two pins on the garage door motor is that you would usually connect a push button "exit" button to these two pins, and whenever someone presses the button, it would open the garage door.
How do I hook up two wires to the raspberri pi GPIO's and then send a ssh command to connect the circuit?
The GPIO's need to simply connect two wires as a circuit and i only need to do it for a second, and then turn the circuit off.
Any help appreciated.

You need a relay, and a transistor circuit to control the relay. Such relay drivers are commonly discussed here.


text: Hello Everyone, I am new to the forum, and I am looking for some help. I have a 2005 low mile Suburban. This is my 3rd Suburban, and they have all been great for our family until this one. I have the "Reduced Engine Power" that many have had. I have been fighting this for a year now, and I don't want to pour more money into it. I am hopeful that someone can help. I have replaced the throttle body, wiring harness, cleaned all grounds, and have gone through a few throttle positioning sensors. The code keeps appearing, and our main family vehicle is just sitting in the driveway. Can anyone help? I thought about trading it in, but I cant pass along a lemon to someone else. Thanks, Steve

CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reports Dolphins LE Cameron Wake has been diagnosed with a "mild" MCL sprain.
Even a "mild" MCL sprain could cost Wake multiple games, but it's still good news. Wake missed the final three quarters of Sunday's win over the Falcons, and should be considered doubtful for next Monday's showdown with the Saints for the time being. Wake has 2.5 sacks through his first three games.
The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports Dolphins LE Cameron Wake (knee) will likely miss 2-3 weeks.
We usually don't post "reports" from the Sun-Sentinel because its football coverage is the least reliable in the nation, but several other media outlets have ran with this story. We'd just take it with a grain of salt. At one point in the "report", it's written Wake could miss "at least a week or two," and later it states Wake will "likely" be sidelined "two to three weeks." CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reported earlier Wake has a "mild" MCL sprain, and is seen more as day to day. If Wake misses any time, it will be a significant blow to Miami's edge rush. The Fins travel to the Superdome in Week 4.
Buffalo and the Pats in town in the next 3 games..
Yeah it would be smart for them to rest him for the divisional games.
quote:1st Half might be fair.
We trade you ingram for a no cameron wake day.

Spreads over Treasuries can stay below average for years.
The bull market in high-yield bonds has compressed yield spreads to below the long-term average, and this means a correction is imminent, at least according to some commentators. But even a cursory look at historical trends reveals that the spread between the yield on these bonds and that on U.S. Treasuries can remain quite narrow for years at a time.
Chart 1 shows that this spread over Treasuries remained largely below the median level of 544 basis points (bps) from March 31, 1992, to July 31, 1998, or more than six years. Similarly, in April 2004, the spread dropped below the median and didn't exceed it for another 48 months.

It is important to note that the high-yield market may not perform in a similar manner under similar conditions in the future. The historical data shown in the chart above are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent any specific Lord Abbett mutual fund or any particular investment.
Typically, spreads on high-yield debt rise when a credit cycle comes to an end. And this usually happens when the economy overheats, prompting the Federal Reserve to raise short-term interest rates. Alternatively, the credit cycle can end when investors become wary of aggressive corporate borrowing. Neither scenario is in play today.
The economy is nowhere near overheating, and, in fact, the Fed has said an interest-rate increase is unlikely until it has finished tapering its bond-buying program (known as quantitative easing). That probably won't be wrapped up before the end of the year.
So, a rate increase is unlikely until at least 2015. But it could be delayed even longer, depending on the strength of the economy. The Fed said in January 2014 that its accommodative position "will remain appropriate for a considerable time after the asset purchase program ends and the economic recovery strengthens."1 So, even after the economy strengthens, the Fed could keep rates low.
As for aggressive borrowing by the corporate sector, Chart 2 suggests that companies have so far refrained from the acquisition binge that drove high-yield issuance in the last credit cycle. Most of the new issuance in this cycle has been used to refinance existing debt. And with yields at relatively low levels, these deals have helped reduce companies' interest expense. Issuers also have been pushing out maturities by several years, according to J.P. Morgan. Both of these moves reduce the likelihood of a near-term default.

It is important to note that the high-yield market may not perform in a similar manner under similar conditions in the future. The historical data shown in the chart above are for illustrative purposes only and do represent any specific Lord Abbett mutual fund or any particular investment.
As of February 28, 2014, the default rate was just 0.85%, according to Credit Suisse, a rate similar to that of the previous two low-spread periods. Defaults may eventually rise, and if that happens, spreads will spike upward in anticipation. But for defaults to increase, there must be a catalyst, such as a recession, and there doesn't appear to be a sign of anything like that.
The high-yield market may, therefore, perform in 2014 much as it did in 2013, according to Zane Brown, Lord Abbett Partner and Fixed Income Strategist. "With the Fed keeping short-term interest rates near zero, money market funds aren't likely to increase their rates anytime soon. So, I think you'll still see investors looking for additional yield opportunities, keeping demand for these securities strong well into 2015."

A Note about Risk: The value of investments in fixed-income securities will change as interest rates fluctuate and in response to market movements. As interest rates fall, the prices of debt securities tend to rise, and as interest rates rise, the prices of debt securities tend to fall. Investments in high-yield securities (sometimes called junk bonds) carry increased risks of price volatility, illiquidity, and the possibility of default in the timely payment of interest and principal. Bonds may also be subject to other types of risk, such as call, credit, liquidity, interest-rate, and general market risks. Longer-term debt securities are usually more sensitive to interest-rate changes. The longer the maturity date of a security, the greater the effect a change in interest rates is likely to have on its price.
No investing strategy can overcome all market volatility or guarantee future results.
Treasuries are debt securities issued by the U.S. government and secured by its full faith and credit. Income from Treasury securities is exempt from state and local taxes. Although U.S. government securities are guaranteed as to payments of interest and principal, their market prices are not guaranteed and will fluctuate in response to market movements.
Spread is the difference in yield between two different investments.
A basis point is one one-hundredth of a percentage point.
Yield is the annual interest received from a bond and is typically expressed as a percentage of the bond's market price.
The Credit Suisse High Yield Index is an unmanaged, trader-priced index constructed to mirror the characteristics of the high-yield market. The index includes issues rated BB and below by Standard & Poor's or Moody's, with par amounts greater than $75 million.

Silver Lake Holds Top Private Equity Ranking
Silver Lake retains its spot at the top of the private-equity heap, according a recent survey reported on by colleague Hillary Canada at Private Equity Beat:
Despite waning investor sentiment, large U.S. buyout firms are some of the fittest in the industry and the most likely to produce outsized returns, according to the Spring 2011 HEC Dow Jones Private Equity Fitness Ranking.
The Fitness Ranking lists the top 25 private equity firms in terms of their expected ability to outperform during the next five to 10 years. It evaluates that positioning based on 10 different data points between January 2002 and January 2012 pertaining to value creation, including scale, quality of deal flow, their ability to time debt and equity markets, and strategic positioning. To acquire the information used in the rankings, HEC surveyed 238 firms, and crosschecked those results with information from other databases.
For the second year running, Silver Lake retained its #1 ranking, followed by Golden Gate Capital, which muscled its way into the second place spot. Warburg Pincus dropped out of second place but remained in the top three. Bain Capital retained a spot in the top five, and was joined by Berkshire Partners.

I have never liked my Ginghers. The metal handle was too small and hard for my hands, and they're too heavy. I bought pair after pair of scissors until I finally tried the Kai booth at a quilt show, and now I'm hooked. I have 5 pairs in varying sizes and styles.

Newly appointed chief secretary Ratnakar Gaikwad, when he was the commissioner of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), refused to take note of the navy's objections to Adarsh society being given an occupation certificate.
The Colaba building is under the scanner for allegedly violating environmental norms and giving bureaucrats and politicians flats in return for clearances.
In a letter from Chief Staff Officer (P&A) for the Flag officer Commanding-in-chief Commodore Satish Bajaj on June 25, 2010, the Western Naval Command had raised concerns about the tower being located close to vital defence installations.
According to the letter, a copy of which is with the Hindustan Times, the WNC wanted to screen the list of the society's members. Bajaj had also asked the MMRDA to withhold the OC.
The society dismissed the navy's request saying the state government and city collector had verified and approved the members, further verification by the navy could be over-stepping the right of propriety. Quoting from the society's explanation, Gaikwad replied to the navy on September 29, 2010, saying: "…It is felt that after completion of the building, basic issues may not be raised."
Repeated attempts to get in touch with Gaikwad failed. A defence spokesperson said, "We'll have to go through this correspondence, before commenting on it." MMRDA sources said the defence should have addressed its queries to the state or collector. Sources also said the MMRDA did not receive any objections from the navy until all 31 floors of the building were constructed.
Right To Information activist Yogcharya Anandji, whose documents unearthed the Adarsh scam, said: "The MMRDA, under Gaikwad, has always abetted the crime that the society committed. How can the chief minister make him the CS then?"

Groton — Danbury Mayor and Republican gubernatorial candidate Mark Boughton said he picked Heather Bond Somers as his running mate largely because of her experiences as a mayor and an entrepreneur.
A former Groton mayor and current council member, Somers will bring both a geographic and gender balance to the ticket, Boughton said Tuesday at the Hilton Garden Inn, where he announced Somers would seek the lieutenant governor seat as part of his team.
"She will bring a unique perspective as to what the challenges are of living here in the Second Congressional District," said Boughton.
Boughton and Somers, also a Republican, first met last year. Somers said they connected as mayors on many of the issues municipalities face.
Somers said she views Groton as a microcosm of the state, demographically and socioeconomically.
"I think the combination of setting a budget, dealing with the only town that has a military base in town, we're one of the only towns that has such diversity that 30 percent of our students are military, so we're juggling a lot of different interests," Somers said. "And I think being able to be successful there can only translate up in Hartford. That, coupled with my business experience, is a win-win."
Boughton is one of several Republicans who have announced or made indications they plan to challenge Gov. Dannel P. Malloy in the November election. Malloy has not said whether or not he would seek a second term.
Somers, 47, is a Robert E. Fitch High School graduate who grew up in Groton and attended the University of Connecticut, where she earned a bachelor's degree in economics. She is married with three children.
After a stint in the purchasing department at Electric Boat in the late 1980s, Somers co-founded Hydrofera LLC, a medical device manufacturing company in Willimantic that now has worldwide distribution. The company was recently purchased by Hollister Inc., and Somers said she has been working the company through the transition — traveling across the globe and meeting with distributors.
She said she plans to remain a member of the nine-member Town Council during the campaign.
"This is a blessed opportunity," she said of her candidacy. "One of the main reasons I decided to do this is that I want my kids to stay in Connecticut. The way things are going, there's not much hope for somebody getting out of school."
Somers said she and Boughton were a good fit, having both come from working middle-class families and serving as mayors in their communities, albeit at different ends of the state. Boughton is a former high school teacher who is in his seventh term as mayor in Danbury.
"He gets it. He understands," Somers said of Boughton. "He's a real person, genuine."
She described Connecticut's government as "broken" — years of one-party rule in the state legislature have resulted in large tax increases due to "fiscally irresponsible policies," she said.
"We've underfunded pensions, we borrow and spend money we don't have, we're drowning in debt," she said.
With new leadership and the ingenuity of the state's citizens, Somers said, "Connecticut can be repaired."
"It's not too late," she said. "Help is on its way."
Boughton said he and Somers will now travel the state to talk about the need to create an economic environment the state's residents can be proud of, to balance the state budget and to put people back to work.
Following the morning announcement, the two made appearances at several locales, including Gaspar's Restaurant in New London.
"Ambition, intelligence, political savvy and always looking to move forward — that's Heather," said Kevin Trejo, chairman of the Republican Town Committee in Groton. "She's a determined person. She's a businesswoman in the state. She cares about the community. She's a fighter.
"They could do wonderful things," he said of Boughton and Somers.
Seeing Somers in office would also go far in Hartford, he said, to increase visibility of southeastern Connecticut towns, which are often overlooked.
Somers said she has already received support from a diverse array of area residents.
"My phone has been ringing off the hook. Republicans, Democrats, independents and unaffiliated alike — I think people are pretty excited they'll have a voice," she said.

My First Jeep!
1 Attachment(s)
I'm pretty much in high heaven right now. I've always wanted a Wrangler since high school and finally years later have purchased my very own 2010, 2dr, 4wd, automatic Jeep Wrangler. I have a few questions I'm hoping I can get some feedback on so here I go (thank you in advance for ANY advice/tips!):
-Is it legal/illegal to ride doorless in the state of FL?
-Since this is a used vehicle, there's a small amount of rust forming on some of the bolts near the doors on either side; a friend who used to have a Jeep recommended I use nail polish remover to stop the continuation of rust; do any of you guys have this problem/what have you done to prevent further damage?
-Where have you guys found the best beaches or trails are there to take your Jeeps out on?
I'm a total newbie at this but am so excited to get good use out of this new baby of mine! Thanks guys! :)
Welcome! No, it is not illegal to ride without doors in Fla but it is illegal to ride without mirrors. This law is vague and generally not enforced by LEOs. Remedies range from relocating the stock mirrors to one inch convex adhesive mirrors over the air vents!
Oxidation is caused by the electric potential from dissimilar metals in the presence of an electrolyte. Using nail polish as a sealer works somewhat. Have you inspected the underbody as well? Usually if there is rust you can see then there is other rust you can't see. I think the bolt you mentioned are zinc plated, it may just be discoloration. Post a pic.
As to beaches what part of Fla do you live in?
Enjoy that Jeep!
So if I ride just with the rear view mirror in the middle of my windshield, that would be sufficient?
Yeah my friend suggested nail polish as well. I think it'll be a project I will tackle when I have a day off work. I looked under the body and it seems fine. The dealer though when I brought up the day of purchase (oxidation on bolts) and his response was "It's supposed to happen," so he wasn't much help. I will post a pic of the rust tomorrow. It's not serious at all, but being that it's my first Jeep, I want to make sure it lasts.
As far as Florida, I live in Central FL (Orlando). Thank you so much for your help! :D
Here's a good thread with a link to the Fla law regarding mirrors. I'm way up near Jacksonville and so don't know the beaches down there. You may want to try the search button with the keywords "Orlando" and "beach".
Riding doorless is way cool.:dance:
i just posted a few pics of "Evangeline" on my profile. I took her out to Daytona Beach. I still haven't figured out a way to correctly post on this thread the pic of the rust.
Congrats and welcome! :) Lotta fun places to ride around here. What part of FL are you in?
thank you guys! i'm so excited! i live in Orlando so i have both tampa and daytona on either side.
CONGRATS BRO!!! I know if a trail/mud hole in Highlands County if you want to check it out. not much to it, but its something.
welcome to the forum! :wavey:
Hey men were are you in Orlando ? I'm at lake under hill!!

Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting will announce on Thursday the third Test against South Africa will be his international swansong.
After a strong start to the Sheffield Shield summer, Ponting's future has been the subject of much speculation following a dismal two Tests against the Proteas in Brisbane and Adelaide, scoring just 20 runs.
On the fourth morning of the Adelaide Oval Test he admitted that he was unsure about his place in the team, conceding that there was a real chance he would be dropped for Perth.
Coach Mickey Arthur, captain Michael Clarke and senior batsman Mike Hussey all threw their support behind Ponting following the second Test, insisting a return to form was not far away.
But with a three-Test series to come against Sri Lanka later this summer ahead of back-to-back Ashes series away and then at home against England, Ponting has decided to fall on his sword.
That will allow selectors to install a replacement at No.4 against the Sri Lankans rather than throwing them in the deep end against England.

Cooking Oil Imports by India to Drop on Near Record Inventories
Cooking oil imports by India, the world's largest palm oil buyer, probably declined for the first time in five months in April as reserves stayed near a record and summer heat curbed consumption of fried foods.
Purchases of vegetable oils, including those for industrial use, fell 24 percent to 700,000 metric tons last month from 925,334 tons a year earlier, according to the median of estimates from five processors and brokers compiled by Bloomberg. Palm oil imports gained 9 percent to 560,000 tons from 512,137 tons, the survey showed. The Solvent Extractors' Association of India will release the data next week.
Palm oil futures in Kuala Lumpur dropped 4 percent in April, falling for a third consecutive month, as exports declined 5.6 percent, according to surveyor Societe Generale de Surveillance. World exports of seven major edible oils and fats are expected to rise on increased imports by China and India, led by higher palm oil deliveries, Oil World said May 7.
"Imports slowed because of higher stockpiles from huge purchases in the past few months and the arrival of the new rapeseed crop," said Sandeep Bajoria, chief executive officer of the Mumbai-based broker Sunvin Group. "Local demand has been sluggish since last month because of extreme heat in the summer months that limit consumption of oily food."
Inventories, including those at ports and in the pipeline, were 2.1 million tons at the start of April and near a record of 2.12 million tons in March, extractors' association data showed. Cooking oil imports jumped 22 percent to 4.63 million tons in the five months through March, it said.
Slow Off-take
"Stockpiles are not moving fast enough as local off-take is slow," Pradip Desai, managing director of Mumbai-based broker Palmtrade Services Pvt. Ltd.
Palm oil for delivery in July advanced 1.3 percent to close at 2,289 ringgit ($775) a ton on the Malaysia Derivatives Exchange in Kuala Lumpur yesterday. Futures, down 6.1 percent this year, fell to 2,230 ringgit on May 6, the lowest price since Dec. 13.
Exports from Malaysia fell 5.6 percent to 1.29 million tons last month from March, SGS said on April 30. Shipments of six vegetable oils and tallow may be 71 million tons in the 2012-2013 season from 67.5 million tons a year earlier, Oil World said on May 7.
India, the world's biggest cooking oil consumer after China, meets more than half its demand through imports. It buys palm oil from Indonesia and Malaysia and soybean oil from the U.S., Brazil and Argentina.
"There was some delay in shipments of soybean oil from South America due to problems at the loading ports and the oil should reach India this month," Ashok Sethia, executive director of Sethia Oils Ltd., said by phone from Kolkata. About 200,000 tons of soybean oil may arrive this month, he said.
Crude soybean oil imports probably fell to 60,000 tons in April from 216,509 tons a year earlier, while sunflower oil purchases may have declined 46 percent to 70,000 tons from 129,538 tons, the survey showed.

It's increasingly starting to look as if the battle for TV sales in 2008 is going to be fought around design. We've got ultra slim TVs, TVs with a hint of colour, TVs with practically non-existent bezels, TVs with see-through panels… Really, it seems as if anything goes - so long as it's not the usual simple black rectangle.
But even by the standards of today's 'stylemeisters' LG's new 42LG6000 is a bit special - not least because its entire rear panel is adorned unapologetically in a bright, rich, uncompromising red. Or rather, 'Scarlet'.
Of course, you might argue that having a red butt is pretty pointless when TVs are made to be watched from the front. But the reality is that many flat TVs in the UK have at least a portion of their sides and rears visible from at least some of the viewing positions in the room. And, in any case, LG thoughtfully places the 42LG6000 on a swiveling stand so that you can leave the TV artfully angled whenever you've got guests coming round so that they can glimpse the bold red flourish in all its glory.
Not that a scarlet behind is the only thing that makes the 42LG6000 stand out, mind you. For its rear is also remarkable for how little it sticks out; just 80mm at its deepest point, making it a good 2cm slimmer than most 40-42in rivals.
This might not sound a lot, but it really does enhance the TV's aesthetic appeal to a surprising extent. As does the hole cut through the middle of the TV's bezel. Right underneath the LG logo the Korean brand has seen fit to put a really quite large transparent circular panel that lets you see right through to the back of the TV. What's more, the entire circle is illuminated - in a subtle grey when you're watching the TV, or, of course, scarlet when the TV is in standby.
To make room for this extraordinary - but certainly not unattractive - feature, the 42LG6000 has had to incorporate yet another: a bezel that stretches down an unusual distance below the screen, dramatically shunning the trend towards ever-more-slender bezels. Thanks to the rather gorgeous sheer, polished finish of this extended undercarriage, though, it's definitely yet one more element that enhances the 42LG6000's attractiveness rather than detracting from it.
Unbelievably we're STILL not done talking about the 42LG6000's design yet, either. For no matter how long and hard you stare at the front of the 42LG6000, there's one thing you'll never see: visible speakers. This is because LG has designed the set so that the sleek bezel works as a speaker, with numerous driver units embedded in strategic spots underneath and around the screen frame.
From everything we've seen so far, it's no great surprise that the LG Scarlet sets won an 'Innovations' award at this year's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
I would like to see power consumption in every review's spec page. Whether you're deep green or just watching the soaring elec bills, I would like to see how annual running costs compare.
It's one factor when deciding LCD or plasma. Both versions of this LG42 incher have good reviews. Might the price difference be negated by the 'watt' difference?

I recently bought a COBB AP for my car, along with a catless up pipe and full TBE i was wondering since i am running stage 2 if i could run a full CAI. I know from reading on COBB that a COBB sf intake can run with the stage 2. In that sense i would like to know the difference between the two and if i can or cannot run the full CAI.

Steamboat Springs The NORCO West 16s club volleyball team netted a third-place finish at a Lakewood tournament Sunday to finish its season with a 17-10 record overall.
Though the team played in the 16-year-old age division, most of its members were a year younger. Kaitie Breisch, of Steamboat Springs, and Jessica Mathews, of Craig, were the only sophomores on the team. Seven Steamboat Springs High School freshmen - Meghan Rabbitt, Molly Dierdorff, Maggie Stanford, Kailee Duryea, Addie Sulentich, Callie Hvambsal and D.J. Ditter - rounded out the squad.
Darcey Miller and Sara Ferris coached the team.
Highlights of the winter season included winning the Rocky Mountain Region Power 1 Tournament in Fort Morgan in January and netting a top-five finish in the Select Division at the Colorado Crossroads Tournament in Denver in March. The team competed in five power tournaments, winning at least two of four matches at each.
Steamboat Springs-based NORCO West is affiliated with the NORCO Volleyball Club based in Fort Collins. NORCO West fielded competitive teams at age levels 14, 15, 16 and 18.
Hockey players qualify for Utah development camp
Several Steamboat Springs hockey players were selected to the Rocky Mountain District Player Development Camp in Salt Lake City.
Jake Bearss, a sophomore who plays for the Steamboat Springs High School team, was the only Steamboat boy chosen. Also selected was Meghan Lukens, a high school sophomore and captain of the U19 girls team, and Megan Stabile, Olivia Gorr and Monica Patten, all eighth-graders.
Claire Tegl was chosen as an alternate for the camp.
The camp runs from April 29 to May 3 and will bring together some of the best players in the region.
Wrestler places 3rd at Steamboat tournament
Will Burrow placed third in the 145-pound weight class of Sunday's youth wrestling tournament at Steamboat Springs High School.

Seeking Nourishment
The snow has been falling for two straight days. On this particular day we set off for a sledding adventure. Each new step forged over prairie, out through the vast unknown. I know this field well, or at least I thought I did. I've been exploring it for three years now.
But like a good student, I've always followed the rules, stayed on footpaths, gone where I'm told and where obvious others before me have gone. I don't dare break these guidelines because I know all too well that if I leave the path and follow the steps my eyes would like me to take, unexpected snakes dwell like strict teachers waiting with rulers. Plus, my Littles are usually in tow and I feel it is my job as their guide to keep them respectfully on the path.
Today, though, the Littles are far ahead on the path with their dad. I stay back, linger, until I am momentarily forgotten. It is not out of disrespect to the small grasses and baby plants and slivers of new pines that I stray from the safety of the rules which are really in place for protection, not to control one's adventure. No, I do not wish to cause harm. But the snow has fallen and covered our prairie, blanketed it enough to tease me into the unknown. I know I must go. Solidifying my choice, the wind has brought on it a message which I can hear as a whisper in my ear, "Leave the path, walk this way." I accept the invitation, knowing snakes don't live under a frozen canvas of snow. I go, moving forward, each foot sinking down low, plunging through the crunchy layers of ice.
Above, snowflakes gently swirl to the ground like a sprinkling of fine sugar. I can hardly believe it, but I don't wish to photograph every beautiful thing I see. No, instead I still myself and settle into a search, and then my gaze begins to settle as well. Brown circles, perfect, hollow, dot a delicate branch. I do not know what kind of plant it is or why I don't recall having ever noticed it before. "Ellipses", comes to mind. I quickly set up my camera for the shot. After I have captured this simple plant three ways complex thoughts begin to flood my mind. So many sentences in my life right now ending in …
Still aware of having broken the rules, I quickly say a blessing because this moment has awarded me an answer. Simply, "Thank You", and then, like a fox, I run, leaping out of the snow, back to the path, back to my family. My creative spirit and enlightenment seeking soul has been sated, fed for another day.

Guys I'm ultra-light fast-hiking the JMT next month. I had been hoping to purify my water using a combination of Micropur and the Japanese Super Delios filter. But I cannot get a Delios, nor any response from emails to them.
So I'm thinking of using one of these guys: http://goo.gl/TRnE5
It's the ultra cheap (sub $30) Ceramic Soldier Filter Pump from China.
It's not the price, so much as the sub 100g weight that appeals to me.
Has anyone tried one? Are they reliable?
I know that used with Micropur, they'll be fine – but I'm wondering if I should rely on one if I need water faster than the Micropur's 2-hr limit for Guardia.

Delios UK have had supply problems for a while, related to the Tsunami in Japan where they are(were?) produced. If you're looking for an alternative try the sawyer squeeze, it's a bit bigger and heavier but having used both I much prefer the Squeeze, the time and effort you will save when squeezing water will more than compensate for the extra weight carried.
To give you an idea of the relative force required for each system, the Delios was like squeezing a tennis ball to produce 300ml/minute, the Sawyer requires half the pressure to produce 3 times the rate of flow.
Concerns have been raised about the durability of the Sawyer bags ; I've only used mine to supply water for 2 people on a 5-day trip so far and have had no problems. The bottle of my Delios sprang a pinhole leak after about the same level of usage.
Hope this helps,
EDIT: after having a quick gander at the chinese filter, it looks very low quality, the only seal to hold pressure while pumping is a single silicone O-ring and the simplistic design means that you need to exert most force on the upstroke which is more difficult as you can't brace against the ground. The ceramic element is low area in comparison to the MSR miniworks (which I used prior to the Delios) and I found that a chore to use so this will either give you arms like the Hulk or break very quickly.
Add to that the fact that it has no certification, or track record that I am aware of, I would strongly discourage you from ordering it.
PS I live just up the road from you (Durham), good luck on your trip, It's certainly beautiful countryJul 27, 2012 at 7:11 am #1897940

@doctordeeLocale: Yorkshire, UK
Your opinions of the Soldier echo my own concerns David. Particularly my concerns about breaking it.
I'll give it a miss.
The Sawyer looks good and I am now also considering the Frontier Pro, mainly because I have one in the cupboard at home unused that I had entirely forgotten about until I just saw one while searching for alternatives.
But I favour the Squeeze, because it will give me the option to carry an additional litre or two of water, should I ever feel the need to do so. Plus if offers greater separation of contaminated and clean sides.
Having difficulty purchasing from their website though, they only offer US or Canada as billing address countries.
[EDIT] Bought from REI with free delivery. Aye, David, I see you're in Durham. I wandered through your county a couple months back when I wandered from Kirk Yetholm to Edale as training for the coming jaunt.Jul 27, 2012 at 1:01 pm #1898039

Let's compare this chinese filter against some others.
Chinese filter
Guarantee: ?
Speed: 0.3 liters per minute
Filter life: 530 gallons
Pore size: 0.1 microns
Initial cost: $35
Cost per gallon: $0.06604
Cost per million gallons: $66,037
It claims to weigh 90 grams, which is so very light that I seriously doubt it weighs anything close to that. It would have to have seriously thin plastic, and that's a very bad thing in a pump filter.
Sawyer Water Treatment Sport Bottle
Guarantee: yes
Speed: 1.7 liters per minute
Filter life: 1 million gallons
Pore size: 0.1 microns
Initial cost: $50
Cost per gallon: $0.00005
Cost per million gallons: $50
It's 570% faster. It filters 1887 time more water. It actually has a guarantee and is backed by a reputable company and sold in a store that has an exceptional return policy. The deal is even sweetened by including the bottle, and by the flexibility to use the filter with a hydration bag or camp gravity setup.
Now let's compare against the most expensive filter at REI.
Katakyn Pocket Water Filter
Guarantee: yes
Speed: 0.86 liters per minute
Filter life: 13,000 gallons (need to verify this better)
Pore size: 0.2 microns
Initial cost: $370
Cost per gallon: $0.02846
Cost per million gallons: $28,461
This filter has a 20 year warranty.
So if you're looking at all at long term savings, you won't find it with the chinese filter. I bet the plastic is so thin and cheap that it won't even work on the first day of your hike. Weight savings don't matter if it doesn't work.
If you're going to fast hike, then repackaged Aqua Mira is probably the way to go.Oct 19, 2012 at 11:29 am #1922890

Don't knock what you don't know. Mine weighs 3.3 oz with hoses, 3.8 ozs (108 grams) with the bag which I have replaced with a lighter one. Is it cheaply made? No it's thick plastic. Has it malfunctioned, not with the several trips I've used it on, and from what I can see it shouldn't. It takes about 40% more strokes than my Katadyn Mini but the stokes are easy so it makes it no issue. Will my arm fall off making a gallon of water,? No as it is not hard to pump and I feel it is worth it to get the light weight and small size. My Katadyn Mini, (their smallest) looks and feels like a giant, heavy car camping filter when I compare them side by side! Do I trust it will filter good? Yes as ceramic filters are not hard to make with a consistant pore size. Problem with it being Chinese made? No, and it would not surprise me if most all of the filter elements made today are made there, maybe even the whole filters.
Time will prove if I am right, but for me I am satisfied with the filter, at $56 with the extra filter element that's about 1000 gallons of clean water, enough for me for the rest of my hiking life. ( I'm 63 and use about 2-3 gallons a day for all my needs) I don't care how much it cost for a million gallons, it's not a whole house water filter. As they say, to each their own.

I don't really have a problem with stuff made in China (labor issues aside…), and things like cutlery etc can be washed off.
But when it comes to food, etc, it's just a total nightmare. From what I can tell their version of the FDA is super corrupt and there is basically no oversight.

The decision handed down by the Court of Appeal in the long-running Springwell dispute reaffirms London as an unattractive forum for claimants bringing mis- selling disputes.
The ruling given by Lord Justice Aikens in Springwell v JPMorgan Chase on Monday (1 November) brings to an end a hard fought battle that erupted in 1998 during the Russian rouble crisis. Aikens LJ lead the unanimous verdict that went against appellants Springwell.
In early 1998 Springwell, the investment arm of the Polemis shipping group, made significant investments in Russian rouble-denominated sovereign debt (GKOs). The bonds paid a high rate of interest and were repackaged by investment banks with currency swaps to help avoid foreign exchange risk.
However, when the markets plummeted Russia's economy teetered on the brink of collapse, and in August that year, the government announced that a 90-day moratorium would be imposed on foreign debt repayments and the suspension of all trading on Russian Federation issued bonds.
This left Springwell holding 11 GKO-linked notes with a face value of $95m and facing a loss in excess of $500m.
The company sought to recoup those losses from JPMorgan Chase, which, it claimed, had knowingly mis-sold it the high risk investments contrary to Springwell's stated policy to keep a low risk profile.
Initially Springwell launched its claim in New York, but the proceedings were halted on jurisdiction grounds.
JPMorgan Chase responded by applying to the English courts for a declaration of non-liability, at which point Springwell retaliated with a counter claim alleging breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty and negligent misstatement.
The case was finally heard in the High Court in April 2007 by Mrs Justice Gloster. It was a one of the longest hearings of the year, running to 68 days and involved, among other disclosure evidence, thousands of hours of telephone tape recordings.
But Gloster J gave a robust ruling rejecting the claim, describing some elements of it as "commercially unreal".
When both parties returned for the CoA hearing in June, the appellants case had narrowed significantly focusing on claims of misrepresentation based on comments made by a JPMorgan Chase salesman.
Fountain Court's Michael Brindle QC, instructed by Reynolds Porter Chamberlain for Springwell, argued that the salesman made negligent misstatements to the company about the liquidity of the GKOs, claiming that this amounted to misrepresentation.
Brick Court's Mark Hapgood QC, instructed by Clifford Chance for the defendant, countered that as a sophisticated purchaser of such financial instruments the onus was on the client to look at the wider context of the situation. The salesman was right to say the stock was liquid, it was argued, but only by comparison with other possible investments in Russia, which was not a "conservative" investment market at all.
Furthermore, Hapgood argued, Springwell should fail on the reliance issue because it could not show that it relied on the alleged misrepresentations made by the salesman when deciding whether to purchase the stock.
The CoA upheld JPMorgan Chase's case, and affirmed the first instance judgment given by Gloster J, who found that the context of such discussions was essential and "a word cannot be lifted like a fish out of water". The mis-selling claim was rejected.
Costs in such a long running dispute were always going to be significant. At the initial costs hearing of the High Court case, JPMorgan Chase argued that Springwell should pay indemnity costs given that its case was based on, among other things, false and exaggerated evidence, and that the claims were weak and insubstantial.
The High Court agreed, stating that claimant investors who bring speculative and extravagant misselling claims against financial institutions may well be required to pay a high price for having done so. "Otherwise, claims for misrepresentation or 'overarching duties of care' are all too easily made, and, once made, can be deployed as unjustified negotiating tools," the court said.
No doubt this will be raised again when costs come to be assessed in the CoA case.
When the latest recession hit the UK, there was wide-spread concern about an onslaught of mis-selling claims being brought against financial institutions. This ruling will come as a relief for many of those who thought they could be in the firing line.
Reynolds Porter Chamberlain partner Tom Hibbert instructed Fountain Court's Michael Brindle QC, 20 Essex Street's Andrew Baker QC and 3 Verulam Buildings' Jonathan Davies- Jones for Springwell Navigation Corporation.
Clifford Chance partner Ian Moulding instructed Brick Court's Mark Hapgood QC, 3 Verulam Buildings' Adrian Beltrami QC and Catherine Gibaud, also of 3 Verulam Buildings, for JPMorgan Chase Bank and Ors.

tmpfs? I thought that existed only on Solaris, and the primary reason for tmpfs is that Solaris's UFS is so ssllooww compared to other FS (e.g. ext2, reiser, etc.)
It's in Linux 2.4 also. It has the same unfortunate problem as on Solaris, that once someone fills /tmp, you run out swap and daemons start dying.
