Zakynthos Town Sightseeing
There are several places and monument worth seeing at the modern town of Zakynthos that lies at the foot of the Bohali hill. First of all it is the impressive Venetian walls overlooking the town from the green clad of the hill. The walls are very well preserved and if the tourist decides to visit them, he/she will discover that apart from the imposing appearance of the walls, the area offers also a wonderful view of the town and of the major part of the island. In the evening, when lights are on, it offers a fascinating spectacle as it looks like suspended above the town, enlightened too.

The churches of the town are another set of monuments worth seeing. They present a multiple interest: architectural, artistic religious and historic. The most important among them are the founded-on-a-cross church of Aghios Nicolaos tou Molou, built in 1560; it is one of the churches where Aghios Dionyssios, the protector saint of the island, served as a vicar (1583). The Catholic church of Aghios Marcos (St. Marc), the only Catholic Church dated back from the period of the Venetian domination is found at the homonymous square. The church of Aghios Dionyssios, built in 1708 is interesting for its tower bell, from where the visitor has a wonderful view of the town. The church is also worth seeing for its icons, made by important Zantiote hagiographers as Coutouzis and Doxaras. But the most impressive of all is the silver reliquary, finely elaborated, where it is kept the body of the Saint. The churches of Panaghia ton Angelon ("Holy Virgin of the Angels"), Panaghia Faneromeni, Panaghia Pikridiotissa and the cathedral of Aghios Nicolaos are worth a visit, for their interesting architectural features, their decoration and their history. Finally, the church of Aghios Georgios ton Filikon (St. George) is important because it is here that several fighters of the Greek Revolution of 1821 took their oath to fight for freedom.
The town has interesting museums, the most important of which are the Museum of Dionyssios Solomos and of illustrious Zantiotes, the Museum of National Resistance 1940-45, housed at the ground floor of the Public Library, with a good collection of archives, documents and photos of the period, copies of the illegal press issued by the Resistance organizations and various souvenirs. The fans of Byzantine art should visit the Museum of Post-Byzantine Art, where it is housed an excellent collection of important icons of the Cretan School and the School of the Eptanissa (Ionian Islands).
The two squares in the city center, Dionyssios Solomos square and Aghiou Markou (St. Marc) square, quite characteristic places with stone paved streets to surround them, are still the meeting points of the locals as they used to be for centuries. In front of Dionyssios Solomos square you will see the statue of the national poet of Greece after whom the square has been named. Another characteristic point of the town is Rouga, where you will see the buildings with their beautiful arches, housing various stores, both traditional and modern. And you will certainly pass from Strada Marina, the road along the coast, where you may walk by the sea or enjoy your coffee in one of the numerous cafes and pastry shops you will find there.
While strolling around, it is worth seeing the nice buildings of the Public Library, the Byzantine Museum, the Municipal Cultural Center, the Prefecture's building and the buildings housing the Court, the banks and Solomos Museum.
And, of course, don't miss to stroll around with the little wheel-driven train, one of the attractions of the town.
You should certainly stroll around in Bohali, the small, cute, scenic quarter on the hill, just below the Castle, to enjoy the scents of the flowers of the gardens and the magnificent view of the town and the sea.
And, if you feel like leaving the center, you may visit the Stranis hill, some 2 – 2,5 kilometers far away, near Akrotiri. The hill with luxuriant green of pine trees was one of the beloved places of Dionyssios Solomos who, according to tradition, it is here that he inspired his long poem "Hymn to Freedom", that later became the National Anthem of Greece.
A lot of cultural activities, as theater, plastic and visual arts' exhibitions, concerts and musical performances are organised during the summer by the Prefecture of the island and the Municipality of the town, in cooperation with local cultural associations. Quite a lot of people, an enthusiastic public of locals and visitors, attend all these events.
One of the most well-known and popular cultural events of the island is the Carnival feast, with the happening of the "Funeral of the Masque" along with several music concerts, mainly promoting the local musical tradition.
Easter is also interesting in Zakynthos, with a more religious character; it is worth attending the ceremony and the procession of the Epitaph, accompanied by music of the local orchestra and bands.But the peak of feasts of the island is the celebration of the two feasts in honor of Aghios Dionyssios, the protector saint of the island; the first takes place on the 24 th of August, and it is celebrated the memory of the translation of the relics of the Saint from Strofades to the town (1717); the second is held on the 17 th of December, when it is celebrated the Saint's name day. In both of them, apart from the religious feast, there are also high-level cultural and artistic events

Ah, May in Paris! There was April in Paris, of course, sung in the Fifties by Ella Fitzgerald and then came May 1968. That year has tinted our memories ever since. Each time comes the month of May, we feel a little tingle of disobedience in our heart: isn't it time to change the world, at last? May 68 conjures strong images: trees blossoming on the Parisian Haussmannian boulevards while students and soon workers take to the streets; slogans painted red and black on public buildings; heaps of detritus competing with storey-high barricades during the general strike which paralysed the country from May 13. Images and smells, too: that of decaying food left uncollected and of teargas which stayed in the streets of the Latin Quarter for almost eight weeks.
How best to commemorate the revolt of May 68 but by a walk in the very streets those events took place? In the context of growing discontent in France, we set out to record le podtour May 68. Part radio documentary, part guided tour, part revolutionary digression, part lecture and part concert, you can, from today, download (for free: magnifique) le podtour on your ipod with maps and archive pictures. Part concert? It didn't seem conceivable to reminisce about The Events without reliving, at least in part, the euphoria and joy of the time; a feeling that violinist Sarah Harrison and guitarist Lee Clark, gave us back in their wonderful interpretations of revolutionary songs, à la Hot Club de France. Part lecture? Along our walk, which should take you about one hour and thirty minutes if you follow our street by street walk though Paris, or just 73 minutes anywhere you choose to listen to it, we're joined by French and British historians, philosophers, art critics, some of them actors of the events such as historian Jacques Capdevielle who just wrote a dictionary of May 68, writer Olivier Rolin, philosopher Alain Finkielkraut and film critic Edouard Waintrop. In le podtour's British brigade, you'll also find philosopher AC Grayling, art historian Sarah Wilson, film critic Nick James, broadcaster and former Paris correspondent Carloine Wyatt and historian Andrew Hussey who give us another perspective on Les événements.
There are cafés too in Le Podtour, student bistros where you can choose to stop along the way. French born philosopher George Steiner, in a lecture he gave at the Nexus Institute in Holland a few years ago, said: "the café is a place for meetings and conspiracies, for intellectual debates and talks. If one were to draw a map of cafés, one would have the general outline of the European idea." If one were to draw a map of Paris' cafés, one would have the general outline of the next French revolution. Near the Sorbonne, on rue des écoles, you may for instance stop at Brasserie Balzar. When the restaurant group Flo started negotiations to buy Le Balzar in the nineties, regular customers and garcons set up an association which stirred trouble: demonstrations followed petitions and sit-ins in the street. The new owner had to give in to customers and garçons' demands: no change to the staff, the menu, or the worn out booth's red leather. The week we were recording le podtour, during one of those caffeine stops at Le Balzar, two well-known intellectuals, one celebrated publisher and a Sorbonne professor, were discussing Sarkozy's future: "He won't finish his mandate" said one. "How can you be so sure?" asked the other. "Because I've got my finger on two thousand students' pulse" came the answer. Reminded me of a conversation Albert Camus and Jean-Paul Sartre are reported to have had right there, back in 1947. Sartre asked Camus what he would do if France was invaded by the Soviet army. Camus replied: "I resist. You?" Sartre: "I won't shoot proletarians."
Next to Le Balzar stands art-house cinema Le Champo, Woody Allen's favourite cinema, and another possible stop in our walk. For a quick shot of Fellini or Eisenstein. A reminder too of how important cinema has been for the 68 rioters. Essential even. Jean-Luc Godard and a few others with films such as La Chinoise, shot in the summer 1967, had paved the way to violent action. In January 1968, the New Wave French film directors had been violently molested by the riot police when they demonstrated with the like of Marlène Dietrich, Mann Ray and Nicholas Ray, against the dismissal of the head of the Paris Cinémathèque, Henri Langlois (more here).
And, if you're lucky, as we were a few weeks ago while recording Le podtour in the streets of Paris, you may bump into Anna Karina, the New Wave's muse.
Le Podtour Mai 68 by Agnès Poirier is downloadable for free as an MP4 file on the Guardian travel site.

Been there, hope your finger gets better soon.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Been there, hope your finger gets better soon.
Ouch! So sorry! Yes, be careful to keep it clean, use Neosporin for a few days, go to the doc at the first sign if infection or slow healing, and decrease sugar intake for a few days. If you smoke, at *least* cut back. Sorry, can't help it (nurse. Also be sure your tetanus is up to date. If not, those immediate care centers can usually give you that. Just don't want anything worse to happen to you. Hugs.
Sorry-sorry-sorry, that just gives me the shivers. Hope you heal quickly.
I my goodness, OUCH!!!!! I stuck my self trying to thread my new long arm sewing machine the other day trying to get a hold of the thread, thank goodness it wasn't sewing.
I also cut the top of my foot when I dropped my cutter and sliced the h*** out of my foot. Could not stop it from bleeding, and still have a scar 6 months later. Those cutters cut deep.
Hope you heal soon. We all do a daft thing sooner or later. I am crossing my fingers that mine is later, but I must be close to the head of the queue!
I feel your pain.....literally. I sliced off part of my finger with my rotary cutter about 3 days ago. It was my first accident in over 6 years of quilting. Had to happen sooner or later. :roll:
oh been there to, i had to go to the doc, cause i took off the side of my finger. doc put this stuff on it called foam jell oh was that nice, no more pain, and it stop the bleeding instantly. and no stiches ,corse they was nothing to stitch.
Ugh! I cut myself a while back with a brand spanking new blade in my rotary cutter. Weird thing was, it did not hurt when I did it (blood all over, and me looking like a cartoon character- duh....what?) but boy did it hurt afterwards. Somehow I managed to run the cutter up the middle of my left index finger. Still don't know how I managed that. Some steri- strips and a finger immobilizer later, I was told to stay away from quilting until it healed. It took a while.
oooooh! Who knew quilting could be so dangerous! Thanks for reminding us to be vigilant when we are working with the "tools of the trade"

FDA Launches Acrylamide Investigations
By Janet Raloff, 15:48 PM April 15, 2008
You knew french fries and potato chips werent health foods. Sure, theyre veggies, but their deep-fat frying adds scads of fat. Depending on whos doing the cooking, that fat can be the saturated type, which can lead to clogged arteries. But until April, who could have suspected that these oh-so-yummy golden-brown spuds were also laced with a carcinogen–acrylamide, the building block of some plastics?
This news spread like wildfire, further defaming the reputation of foods that are dietary stap...

If they are Energy Star rated, they should cost less to run than an upright of the same size. When you open the door, the cold air does not fall out and get replaced with warm air...like what happens with an upright. Get out to an appliance store and compare costs...they all have an energy label on them.LeeSponsored Links Remove Advertisements09-24-2010, 02:05 AM #4

Mine costs me more in the summer...........I have it in the garage and my garage can get pretty warm in the summer.........but will very seldom run in the winter. But that is where I want it.......didn't want it in the basement and no other choice.
I LOVE my freezer.......and fall in love with it all over again when I come home from a good sale and can put it all in the freezer! I couldn't garden without a freezer.........I would have too much waste.09-30-2010, 09:32 PM #5

We got our first freezer about 12 years ago,(new). It's a somewhat smaller chest type. I've never noticed a difference on our utility bill.
We got out second (used), chest type-larger model, about 4 years ago and noticed a difference on the utility bill, but the benefits far outweighed the difference.
Well, the freezer started having serious issues, so it had to go.
Last year, we bought a new larger chest type, and it's actually cheaper to run than the older model.
Although, I wish we would have been able to have gotten an energy star model at the time... It should've been even cheaper to operate.10-07-2010, 09:09 AM #6

Here is a link to a chart my local utility provides. This lists applliances and how much electricity they use. To figure out how much you'll spend, look at your electric bill and find the KwH fee, the cost per kilowatt hour and calculate. Also whatever energy star or other statement on the appliance (if new) should provide some data.

I am just writing this for Tera because she may need it after they get back from overseas. If her husband weren't being stationed away from us then we would keep her around forever, maybe even after the kids were grown. She is absolutely awesome and I am not sure how we are going to replace her. I am so afraid that she has ruined us for future nannies. Always on time, never complained about anything, she would always help out wherever I needed her. She would always volunteer to take them on the weekends so my husband and I could have an evening alone. She is the best and I am so sad that she has to go. Thank you, Tera! We will miss you so much!

You can refinance your mortgage as quickly as you desire. In fact, there is no reason that you could not drive from the closing on your mortgage to a closing for a refinance loan on the same day. That being said, good timing is essential to refinancing in a way that can save you money or help you to get out of debt sooner.
Determining When to Refinance Your Home
The best time to refinance your home is the time at which it will save you the most money. While one rule of thumb is to refinance if your interest rate will drop by at least two percent, it could make sense to refinance for less savings if you can transition from an adjustable to a fixed rate or if you need to pull cash out of your home for improvements or repairs. If you will be staying in your home for a long time and can take out a no-cost refinance, it may make sense to refi for an even smaller decrease in interest rate, as well. Ultimately, the best way to find out is to use our refinance refinance mortgage calculator or work with a banker or mortgage broker that can run the numbers for you.
On the other hand, if your loan is just a few years from being paid off, refinancing it just to save money on interest may make much less sense. If you plan to move out of your home soon spending money to refinance it could also end up being a waste since you incurred the cost of refinancing up front but will pay the mortgage off before you get the benefit of the lower rate.
How Often Can You Refinance Your Home?
Just as you can refinance whenever you want, you can also refinance as many times as you want. There are no laws regulating your refinance frequency, although you should use good business sense when refinancing.
|Payoff ($)
|Payoff (%)
Doing a refi carries a hidden cost which comes from the way that mortgages are amortized. Amortization is the process of spreading out payments over time and allocating them between paying interest and paying down the loan's principal. When a loan is relatively new, you pay a great deal of interest and very little principal. As the loan ages, the interest goes down and your principal payments go up as demonstrated in the table on the right. Every time you refinance your home you restart the clock and pay less principal. This makes it take longer to pay off your home.
One way to mitigate this problem is to refinance to a shorter-term loan. For instance, a 10-year-old $200,000 30-year mortgage at seven percent carries a monthly payment of $1,331. If you were to refinance the remaining $171,953 balance for 20 years at 5 percent, you would pay the loan off in the same amount of time and save almost $200 a month based on the new payment of $1,135. If you found a lower rate loan, you would save even more.
Special Situations
Prepayment Penalties and Loan Costs
If it will cost you money out of pocket to refinance your loan, give it some extra though. Whether you have to pay a prepayment penalty to get rid of your old mortgage or you need to pay points or fees to get a new mortgage, spending money today to save money in the future is not always a good idea. If you move or payoff your mortgage, you may not get the money you spent back. Can you wait a short period of time and have the prepayment penalty go away? Can you find a different lender who will offer you a comparable rate without you incurring out-of-pocket costs? Doing either of these things can make your refinance more profitable.
Adjustable Rate Mortgage
If you have an adjustable rate mortgage and plan to stay in your house for a long time, it makes sense to refinance to a fixed rate mortgage even if your payment goes up. Over the past 30 years, the average rate on a 30-year mortgage has been 8.12 percent based on historical data from the Federal Reserve. If you can lock in a lower rate and eliminate the risk of having an ARM which could adjust upwards, it is worth paying a little bit more.
Credit Considerations
Your credit profile determines both your ability to refinance your home and the rate you will ultimately pay. With this in mind, if you have good credit but fear it may get worse in the future, refinance before things change. Conversely, if you know that your credit will get better in the near future waiting should save you more money than you could lose if interest rates go up in the interim.
Another related consideration is the impact that serial refinancing could have on your credit. While credit inquiries go away after a short period of time and have minimal impact, constantly generating inquiries could be more damaging. In addition, FICO scores look for established credit accounts. Constantly refinancing your mortgage eliminates the opportunity to have a single large account with a long positive history contribute to your credit score.
Ultimately, while the law and the financial industry will let you refinance whenever you want, you have to choose when and why to do it. Formulating a strategy to figure out when can you refinance your mortgage requires looking at all of the financial and lifestyle factors. If you need help, contact a banker or mortgage professional. They can both run numbers and advise you on what the best options are.

My security light goes off the fuel pump will run , I replaced the fuel filter ,checked the relays in the fuse box and nothing changes. My oil pressure reaches about 40 or so before it dies at around a 1000 rpm I have not checked the mass air flow sensor and I did check the crankshaft position sensor, looked at and cleaned the dist cap and rotor. Any suggestions would be great . I have not checked the fuel pressure yet either. I looked at the mass air sensor , it looked fine and I also sprayed starting fluid into the air inlet after the air filter and tried starting the truck and it ran twice as long until it ran out of the fluid I am thinking my fuel pump is either weak or the filter in the tank is pluged . Still looking.

The Middlebury College women's lacrosse team has never had a losing season. The squad has won six NCAA Championships since 1997, including four perfect seasons (1999, 2001, 2002, 2004). The Panthers made 14-straight trips to the final four from 1994-2007 and have appeared in nine NCAA title games. Middlebury has also hosted eight of 16 NESCAC Tournaments, winning the title eight times.
Over the past 27 seasons, the team boasts a 389-76 record and has ranked in the top 10 nationally each of those years. The Panthers are recognized as a national power in women's lacrosse, boasting a 51-game winning streak during the 2001, 2002 and a majority of the 2003 seasons. The 2016 season saw Middlebury set a school record for wins in a season with 22, which ended with the program's sixth national championship.
The team begins practice in the spring, working indoors in the state-of-the-art Virtue Field House or outdoors on Kohn Field. During spring break, the squad travels south for a week of practices and games. Upon returning to Vermont, the Panthers jump into their New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) schedule with challenges from some of the top teams nationally.
Before NESCAC rules permitted participation in the NCAA Tournament, the Panthers appeared in postseason play by advancing to the finals of the ECAC Division III New England tournament in 1990, 1991, 1992, and 1993, and were also ECAC champions in 1991 and 1992. Middlebury players have earned 82 All-American honors since 1985. The Panthers have also had the national Player of the Year in each position area on the field as well as the overall Player of the Year.

The 2013 Symposium is organized by ITU in partnership with the Italian Ministry of Economic Development and will be hosted by Telecom Italia at its innovation laboratories in Turin. The event builds on the success of previous Symposia held from 2008 to 2012 in Kyoto, London, Quito, Seoul, Cairo, Accra and Montreal.
The upcoming Turin Symposium will address challenges and opportunities associated with the transition to a greener, more resource-efficient global economy through mitigation and adaptation to climate change; tackling e-waste; disaster preparedness; methodologies to assess the environmental impacts of ICTs; and cost-effective ICTs to empower smart cities and societies. Items on the Symposium's agenda include:
The Symposium will be held in conjunction with the first meeting of the ITU-T Focus Group on Smart Sustainable Cities, 8 May 2013, and a Workshop on Human Exposure to Electromagnetic Fields, 9 May 2013.

As promised, here's a bit about our thesis advisor-finding processes. Important to note…they are all DIFFERENT, just like yours will be. So, please, stop comparing yourselves to other MAPHers who may seem like they're in a better or idyllic place right now. Ultimately, you're all comrades-in-arms, in this together and there to support and encourage your fellow brethren, but you will all have different journeys as you make your way toward the finish line.
(Read about our experiences after the jump…)
Students completing a creative thesis in the Creative Writing Option have the (optional) built-in guarantee of working with the person teaching the thesis workshop class in their genre. Since I was doing a creative thesis, I had the option of avoiding the whole hum and haw of courting potential advisors. For instance, trying to ascertain from a professor's gaze whether or not they were sincerely excited about my project, or simply waiting till our meeting was over so they could go microwave their tea, which by that time would have gone cold while I was imagining what good friends we would become over months of thesis work.
But I opted to go through the whole thing anyway. Because they are the default thesis advisor for graduate (and undergraduate) creative thesis, the pre-designated faculty may not be able to read as much of your work as you'd like. Last year the fiction advisor was available to read 30 pages or so of writing. So, knowing they would already be commenting on around 20 pages of thesis material in the winter workshop, I decided to find another professor to advise my project. I wanted someone who was available to read more material, and hoped to benefit from the challenge of multiple perspectives in critique. During winter quarter, I was already enrolled in one of my eventual advisor's classes, so she knew who I was and she was easy to contact, since I could always approach her after class. Non creative writing faculty can be helpful to approach for creative projects, first because they tend to offer a new point of view that can play well off of comments you receive in writing workshops, and also because they, being on vacation from the usual stuff they read themselves, may approach your project with a lot of enthusiasm. Oh yeah. They're also incredibly brilliant people who attentively analyze complex texts for a living, so their opinions can be challenging in the most inspiring way.
I feel a little guilty writing about my thesis advisor experience. I was one of those jerks who found an advisor early. At the time I was still debating whether or not I would write an academic thesis or a play and mentioned my dilemma to a professor during his office hours and he said he'd be willing to support me whichever option I chose. I knew then that it was more worthwhile having a faculty member who was supportive than spending the next few weeks agonizing about the mythical "perfect" advisor (and torturing myself about which option I was choosing since my advisors could be drastically different). My advisor was splendid and when I decided to write a play, since he wasn't a creative writer, I sought out additional critiques from my playwriting instructor. It is important to remember many different people may give you insight when writing your thesis.
Also if you are among those with an advisor remember not to gloat to your friends, no Facebook status updates about having had a great coffee with Professor X. Be quietly pleased and the support your fellow MAPHers as they get their advising sorted out.
Frankly, I didn't have an advisor until the very last minute and was basically stressed out about it from January 1st until January 31st. Because almost all of the early modernists were on leave (except for 2) during my MAPH year, I was stuck trying to woo them and rustle up potentials from various other specialty areas in the meantime. I knew exactly who I wanted to work with, but ended up meeting with four different professors because the early modernists were so swarmed with people that I was terrified of getting a "no" and having no back-up options. Several meetings with my top choice and a list of about 100 secondary reading suggestions later, I worked up the courage to ask him to advise my project and he said, "that could probably work, but I can't give you a definite answer today." And so launched the most stressful week of my MAPH career.
Ultimately, he was excited to advise my project and signed on within the last week of January. And, in the end, I was actually grateful for my slightly hectic advisor-finding experience because it connected me with a lot of professors that I may never have talked to otherwise. I ended up continuing to have conversations with several of them throughout the thesis process because they provided important alternative perspectives on my project. So, even if your process has been stressful thus far, try to focus on the fact that you're getting the opportunity to talk to so many different, interesting people and you may even end up building solid relationships with some of them. When I applied to Ph.D. programs last fall, I was able to ask both my advisor and one of my awesome secondary resources for recommendation letters because they were so familiar with both me and my project. So, just keep in mind: potentially stressful now, but most likely an incredibly useful experience in the long run.
As always, we're available to talk anytime you need it. In the meantime, good luck!

Tom Wolf took office earlier this year, one of his first items of business was implementing a gift ban. That set a ban on gifts to all political appointees and state workers. But lawmakers didn't fall under that umbrella. A bill (HB43) has been introduced in Harrisburg that would ban large gifts to elected officials in part to help restore public trust. PA Cities and Unions at Odds over Arbitration Law By Mary Wilson • Apr 17, 2013 Municipalities are calling for changes to the state's law on collective bargaining arbitration.The 1968 statute sets the rules for how contract awards for police and firefighters must be decided if they come to an impasse with the city, since such public safety workers aren't allowed to go on strike.Allentown Mayor Ed Pawlawski said the modifications being suggested are minor, but important - like requiring the arbitrator to consider what kind of award a city would be able to pay.

Leveling the front with Quadra Lift (QL)
Hello, I am new here and have searched and not found a thread addressing this, so if there is already one please point me to it.
With many of the leveling kits going on top of the strut assembly between it and the body I don't understand why this couldn't also be done with the QL.
Is it because the system will sense the change in height and just raise the back? If that were the case it would raise the back when driving uphill.
Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated.
I have a 2013 Trailhawk and am planning on putting tires with a 31.5 height and want to level the front out to help avoid rubbing.
Re: Leveling the front with Quadra Lift (QL)
The Jeep has a sensor that measures the compression/extension of each wheel and adjusts the air pressure to bring them into a preset range. It is not measuring height. The QL will cancel out the leveling kit or fail trying. I have not read of anyone attempting to modify the sensor.
The front suspension may reach its bump stop (extended fully) when a leveling spacer is added to OR2. You would end up with zero rebound, not that you have that much now. Could be a wild ride :).
Re: Leveling the front with Quadra Lift (QL)
What if a modification was done to extend the lower part of the air shock? I was looking at it when they were swapping out my wheels and noticed the lower part has a sleeve that fits around the bottom of the shock and is welded up tight against a ridge in the shock.
If this weld was ground down and then the sleeve slid down lower, with a tight fitting piece of steel pipe cut to 5/8 - 3/4 slid between the original ridge and the top of the sleeve it'd effectively lift the front end by that much. It could all be welded back to ensure it wouldn't move, and the ridge would take the pressure and not the weld.
Make sense?
Re: Leveling the front with Quadra Lift (QL)
The sensor on each corner is a ride height sensor linked to the control arms. If you used a spacer on the strut to raise the ride height, the sensor would indicate it needed to be lowered, and drop the pressure in the air springs. The right way to level would be to build a longer link to the ride height sensor (similar to the links sold for land rovers)
Re: Leveling the front with Quadra Lift (QL)
Well what I am thinking of doing would be the same as driving the front tires onto something 3/4 of an inch high. It wouldn't know that the strut had been lengthened below the air shock... or at least I can't think of how it would know. I will try driving both front tires up onto a block of wood as a way to test it and see if it lowers the front end.
Re: Leveling the front with Quadra Lift (QL)
1 Attachment(s)
That is just going to look like driving up an incline or hill or over a bump. The front end doesn't lower when you drive up a hill right?
The height sensor shown below attaches between the frame and control arm and the system adjusts the suspension to keep the same position on the sensor (the distance between the frame and control arm). It works similar to throttle position sensor. There is an averaging/lag so the height adjustment is not responding to bumps and dips. What you may want to try is to trick the sensor by replace the link with a longer one, but that will take all rebound out of ORA2 height. Extend the link too much and if you ever run OR 2 height, the system will be squeezing the heck out of the rebound bumpers trying to adjust. If you never use OR 2, well not an issue.
Re: Leveling the front with Quadra Lift (QL)
I actually decided that instead of raising the front I wanted to drop the back so I located the sensor on the rear (behind the air shock) and removed the 2.5 inch long control arm. Through trial and error I was able to find out that if it was .25 of an inch shorter it would drop the back about 5/8 of an inch. So now instead of a 7/8 -1 inch difference in height it is only 1/4 - 3/8 higher in the rear.
I will most likely post pics as well as detailed instructions in case anyone else wants to do this. Now that I know what to do with quick dry epoxy or a small welder this mod could be done in less than an hour for both sides.
Thanks again for the tip on how it senses the height.
Re: Leveling the front with Quadra Lift (QL)
That's excellent news mate, I thought it wasn't possible to do but I'm glad you figured it out. Looking forward to your instructions on how to do it.
Re: Leveling the front with Quadra Lift (QL)
Hi, have you encountered any problems with the levelling of the QL, I just want to check it all works ok before doing mine.
No problems at all... shortening the rear sensor rods just a little bit worked perfect to drop the rear. I've been developing an adjustable rod to allow for fine tuning as well as returning it to it's original state. Let me know if you'd have interest in a set. I could ship them to you and then have you send me yours after installing the adjustable ones.
Re: Leveling the front with Quadra Lift (QL)
I'd be interested in a set to lower the rear about a half inch.
The problem is in order to get the link rod Jeep part you have to buy the whole sensor assembly at almost $100 each, so to do the rear it'd be $200...

Read the Elevated BP May Prematurely Age the Brain article »
In controlled studies in the United States and overseas, approximately 3000 patients were treated with felodipine as either the extended-release or the immediate-release formulation.
The most common clinical adverse events reported with PLENDIL administered as monotherapy at the recommended dosage range of 2.5 mg to 10 mg once a day were peripheral edema and headache. Peripheral edema was generally mild, but it was age and dose related and resulted in discontinuation of therapy in about 3% of the enrolled patients. Discontinuation of therapy due to any clinical adverse event occurred in about 6% of the patients receiving PLENDIL, principally for peripheral edema, headache, or flushing.
Adverse events that occurred with an incidence of 1.5% or greater at any of the recommended doses of 2.5 mg to 10 mg once a day (PLENDIL, N = 861; Placebo, N = 334), without regard to causality, are compared to placebo and are listed by dose in the table below. These events are reported from controlled clinical trials with patients who were randomized to a fixed dose of PLENDIL or titrated from an initial dose of 2.5 mg or 5 mg once a day. A dose of 20 mg once a day has been evaluated in some clinical studies. Although the antihypertensive effect of PLENDIL is increased at 20 mg once a day, there is a disproportionate increase in adverse events, especially those associated with vasodilatory effects (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION).

|*Patients in titration studies may have been exposed to more than one dose level of PLENDIL.
Adverse events that occurred in 0.5 up to 1.5% of patients who received PLENDIL in all controlled clinical trials at the recommended dosage range of 2.5 mg to 10 mg once a day, and serious adverse events that occurred at a lower rate, or events reported during marketing experience (those lower rate events are in italics) are listed below. These events are listed in order of decreasing severity within each category, and the relationship of these events to administration of PLENDIL is uncertain: Body as a Whole: Chest pain, facial edema, flu-like illness; Cardiovascular: Myocardial infarction, hypotension, syncope, angina pectoris, arrhythmia, tachycardia, premature beats; Digestive: Abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, dry mouth, flatulence, acid regurgitation; Endocrine: Gynecomastia; Hematologic: Anemia; Metabolic: ALT (SGPT) increased; Musculoskeletal: Arthralgia, back pain, leg pain, foot pain, muscle cramps, myalgia, arm pain, knee pain, hip pain; Nervous/Psychiatric: Insomnia, depression, anxiety disorders, irritability, nervousness, somnolence, decreased libido; Respiratory: Dyspnea, pharyngitis, bronchitis, influenza, sinusitis, epistaxis, respiratory infection; Skin: Angioedema, contusion, erythema, urticaria, leukocytoclastic vasculitis; Special Senses: Visual disturbances; Urogenital: Impotence, urinary frequency, urinary urgency, dysuria, polyuria.
Gingival Hyperplasia
Gingival hyperplasia, usually mild, occurred in < 0.5% of patients in controlled studies. This condition may be avoided or may regress with improved dental hygiene. (See PATIENT INFORMATION.)
Clinical Laboratory Test Findings
Serum Electrolytes
No significant effects on serum electrolytes were observed during short- and long-term therapy (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, Renal/Endocrine Effects).
Serum Glucose
No significant effects on fasting serum glucose were observed in patients treated with PLENDIL in the U.S. controlled study.
Liver Enzymes
1 of 2 episodes of elevated serum transaminases decreased once drug was discontinued in clinical studies; no follow-up was available for the other patient.
Read the Plendil (felodipine) Side Effects Center for a complete guide to possible side effects
CYP3A4 Inhibitors
Felodipine is metabolized by CYP3A4. Co-administration of CYP3A4 inhibitors (eg, ketoconazole, itraconazole, erythromycin, grapefruit juice, cimetidine) with felodipine may lead to several-fold increases in the plasma levels of felodipine, either due to an increase in bioavailability or due to a decrease in metabolism. These increases in concentration may lead to increased effects, (lower blood pressure and increased heart rate). These effects have been observed with co-administration of itraconazole (a potent CYP3A4 inhibitor). Caution should be used when CYP3A4 inhibitors are co-administered with felodipine. A conservative approach to dosing felodipine should be taken. The following specific interactions have been reported:
Co-administration of another extended release formulation of felodipine with itraconazole resulted in approximately 8-fold increase in the AUC, more than 6-fold increase in the Cmax, and 2-fold prolongation in the half-life of felodipine.
Co-administration of felodipine (PLENDIL) with erythromycin resulted in approximately 2.5-fold increase in the AUC and Cmax, and about 2-fold prolongation in the half-life of felodipine.
Grapefruit juice
Co-administration of felodipine with grapefruit juice resulted in more than 2fold increase in the AUC and Cmax, but no prolongation in the half-life of felodipine.
Co-administration of felodipine with cimetidine (a non-specific CYP-450 inhibitor) resulted in an increase of approximately 50% in the AUC and the Cmax, of felodipine.
Beta-Blocking Agents
A pharmacokinetic study of felodipine in conjunction with metoprolol demonstrated no significant effects on the pharmacokinetics of felodipine. The AUC and Cmax of metoprolol, however, were increased approximately 31 and 38%, respectively. In controlled clinical trials, however, beta blockers including metoprolol were concurrently administered with felodipine and were well tolerated.
When given concomitantly with PLENDIL the pharmacokinetics of digoxin in patients with heart failure were not significantly altered.
In a pharmacokinetic study, maximum plasma concentrations of felodipine were considerably lower in epileptic patients on long-term anticonvulsant therapy (eg, phenytoin, carbamazepine, or phenobarbital) than in healthy volunteers. In such patients, the mean area under the felodipine plasma concentration-time curve was also reduced to approximately 6% of that observed in healthy volunteers. Since a clinically significant interaction may be anticipated, alternative antihypertensive therapy should be considered in these patients.
Felodipine may increase the blood concentration of tacrolimus. When given concomitantly with felodipine, the tacrolimus blood concentration should be followed and the tacrolimus dose may need to be adjusted.
Other Concomitant Therapy
In healthy subjects there were no clinically significant interactions when felodipine was given concomitantly with indomethacin or spironolactone.

--What characteristics do you judge and cull swarms?" It depends on what the beekeeper values as important. If its a cyclical year and half his bees are dying from mites, his focus might be mites.--(Jeff)
Hello Jeff!
When I assess my feral swarms, I am starting from square one. So varroa resistance I donÂt consider that just yet, because this needs assessed as the colony matures, and there is no way to really assess this during the early years anyways. I focus on assessing the basic traits that will reveal the fastest which colonies have the most potential. I start basically with assessing fecundity and traits of economic value first during the growth stage of approximately 18 weeks. This is very effective in rapidly determining the best performers, allowing me to get culling sooner (BTW, averages about 50% culling in the first 18 weeks and makes me a bad beekeeper I guess).
--If a beekeeper is smart he doesn't cull very often. For if he is a good beekeeper he realizes that every colony and queen has specific characteristics that are purposeful for a specific task--(Jeff)
This is basically true, but I doubt with Âevery colonyÂ. If a good beekeeper splits from his best performers, why wouldnÂt he also select the very worst to cull? If you do not cull the bottom, then you are in fact promoting these types of genetics simply by allowing them to survive.
I am working to develop the best bee possible, and it is important I cull very heavy to rid the pool of less desirables. I also do not set the bar according to what the book says. I let my top performers set the bar for the rest, and go from there. For instance, my goal this season was to bring brood viability near to match a line of ferals exhibiting above 98% viability. Viability is IMO an extremely important characteristic for winter survival and productivity. I had to cull a few exceptional colonies due to poor viability, but itÂs the price I must pay to bring up over all performance.

Kid Duds
Don't let the title of Child's Play: A Children's Fashion Story evoke nightmarish manifestations of little knife-wielding killer dolls in red overalls. Instead think of happy, sweet, innocent dolls dressed in red overalls--and dresses, hats and a variety of other historical attire. The exhibition, presented by Texas Fashion Collection, celebrates the simple and whimsical nature of children's clothing. Nothing was more fun as a kid than playing dress-up, and TFC can appreciate the hopeful pairings of stripes with polka dots and plaid with paisley. (Hey, when you wanted to dress up like a princess, it was just about how many shades of sparkly pink and purple you could put together.) Children have shaped clothing styles since the late 1800s, from the types of fabric to the color palette. Beginning with post-Civil War design and continuing through the Great Depression, Child's Play is a tour of era-appropriate attire, such as girls' party dresses and little boys' outfits. The show also includes pieces from the private collection of Steven Porterfield, owner of the Cat's Meow in Midland, Texas. Stop by Fashion on Main (1901 Main St.) between noon and 5 p.m. Thursdays and Fridays through May 7 to take a look at the youth-inspired styles. Admission is free. For more information, visit tfc.unt.edu.
Thursdays, Fridays, 12-5 p.m. Starts: Feb. 19. Continues through May 7, 2010

Hrithik Roshan speaks in favour of legalisation of homosexuality
Few days back, PP Malhotra said, "Gay sex is highly immoral and against social order and there is high chance of spreading of diseases through such acts." Reacting hard on this, Hrithik said that being gay is not a disease. Claiming that there are different kinds of people on this earth, that teaches us tolerance and universal love.
The actor also puts up a strong question, "It's taken us hundreds of years to evolve as a society and realise how ridiculous and preposterous discrimination against race/caste is. How many more years is it going to take us to be mature enough and learn to accept individual sexual inclination? Perhaps the starting point is to understand that homosexuality is NOT a matter of choice."
Hrithtik has definitely made a valid point by favouring
individual sexual interest. What you say over this issue, that's
even a taboo to discuss in our society?


text: I too am in great need of a new garage. I currently have a concrete pad with a wooden building on it. The shingle roof as well as the structure itself are rotting. I was hoping to replace the current building with a pole building but current town rules would require me to move the building about six feet from where it currently sits. I just wanted to replace what is there but I'm not sure that is possible. Someone suggested I just repair what is there but, I don't see how that is possible either because it is in such disrepair. Any suggestions? :confused:

Analogue Forever: Film Talk with Lars Fielder of Kodak Alaris2013-11-13 9 32 Share Tweet
Film photographers, it's time to celebrate! Lomography and Kodak Alaris make a combined commitment to analogue photography. This partnership promises to keep producing a large variety of photographic film emulsions alive and kicking in the 21st century.
We had a chat with Lars Fielder of Kodak Alaris about issues that Lomographers wonder about: Will there be new films? Any hopes of reviving discontinued film? What can we expect more from Kodak? Read on and be enlightened.
Firstly, it's great to hear that Kodak are back on track. Please could you update us on the financial situation? We hear the Kodak bankruptcy has officially ended. What does this mean for the company?
You are right, Eastman Kodak Company has successfully emerged from Chapter 11 at the beginning of September and we are optimistic about its future. You've probably also heard about the launch of the Kodak Alaris company – formed by the two businesses Eastman Kodak spun off as part of their emergence from chapter 11: Personalised Imaging and Document Imaging.
Please can you tell us a bit more about the new company Kodak Alaris. What is Kodak Alaris and how does it differ from the Kodak that came before?
The businesses that make up Kodak Alaris – Personalised Imaging and Document Imaging – are all profitable and strong. As a new, debt-free company and backed by the financial strentgh of the Kodak Pension Plan, our long-term oriented investor, we will be able to focus and invest more in the future of our business. And this is where the excitement is for Personalised Imaging: Building upon the unique and valuable assets from our heritage, we will be foster a leaner and more entrepreneurial culture that will allow us to better anticipate and adapt to fast moving consumer trends and grab new market opportunities. As a consumer business, we are as committed today to safeguarding your Kodak Moments as we ever were!
What products do Kodak Alaris Personalised Imaging stock?
Building upon the unique and valuable assets from our heritage, Kodak Alaris' Personalised Imaging will continue to offer you everything you expect from a leading photography brand, including: trusted and beloved Kodak still-camera film products; the widest range of traditional photographic paper and workflow solutions for labs; instant printing with the retail instant picture kiosks offering consumers personalised premium photo products; digital souvenir photography services and solutions at theme parks, iconic destinations & resorts.
So whether you are a photographer who loves to shoot on film, looking forward to get the maximum out of your images printed on photographic paper, or someone who shoots and prints for fun using digital – we want you to know that we're dedicated to delivering a product or service to suit your every need. Our products will continue to use the iconic Kodak brand and offer the same world-class quality. More importantly, we will continue to offer the full portfolio of photographic films and papers. Whether you prefer shooting on the award-winning KODAK PROFESSIONAL PORTRA films or an all time classic like the KODAK PROFESSIONAL TRI-X or you look forward to print your images on the unmatched KODAK PROFESSIONAL ENDURA Metallic paper – Kodak Alaris will continue to offer all you need!
Why are Kodak Alaris continuing to put an emphasis on film production in the 21st century? Why do you think film photography is important?
I guess it is no secret or surprise that the demand on photographic films has declined quite a bit over the last 10 years – and most likely that is what we will see continuously – although abating. That said, it is important to support film photography as there are still many film photographers out there. and we even see more young people, who born and growing up in today's digital world interested in film photography – and somewhat excited by the "Old" what is the "New" to them.
Are there any plans for Kodak to release any new films?
As mentioned before, I believe that the key message to all those film shooters out there is that the full range of photographic films continues to be available. In addition to that, we do run a program that offers the possibility to order large format sized sheet film items on a special order basis. These are being offered via selective partners, e.g. K.B. Cenham Cameras in the US or GFH-Foto in Germany. More details can be found on http://www.kodakalaris.com/go/professional
Are there any plans to bring back previously discontinued films?
Again, it is key for all film lovers that there are no immediate changes planned to our portfolio of photographic films. That said, all decisions to discontinue films in the past were driven by changes in user preferences and or the digital substitution, resulting in the demand of these specific films dropping off a cliff which made it unsustainable to keep them unfortunately. All of these films were old emulsions. At the same time, we have continued to optimize many films in our portfolio and added innovative new ones, like the EKTAR 100.
How do Kodak Alaris plan to ensure the availability of film stays strong for years to come?
As we've said for many years, the life cycle of film will depend on people continuing to chose to shoot film. As for any other product, the needs and demand of the overall market will define to be a demand by consumers and professionals for the products. That said, we certainly see the importance of film for many users and realize there are other factors: E.g. the fact that there are less places where you can buy films and or get them processed nowadays. In order to support the film photographers, we have developed our free KODAK Professional Film App for iOS devices. This App helps you to access your nearest sales and development location for film as well as a variety of on-the-go information about film formats, what films to use in different situations and access to a black and white processing tool and sun calculator.
Why do you personally enjoy shooting film?
It is the emotions related to it. While Digital might well have its advantages depending on what you like to achieve, I like the different approach that shooting film kind of forces you into: rather than shooting like silly, with Film you open your eyes, you look for that special moment you'd love to capture. And I also like the piece of uncertainty left with you until you get your developped film back and see the actual results. Plus, there's simply no better more emotional way than holding a print in your hand or look at it hanging on the wall.
We hear you enjoy shooting with the Spinner 360, that's great! – Please could you tell us why you like the camera and share any of your photos with the Lomography community?
I love the Spinner – it is ultimately fun shooting with this camera! So I have to admit that there's also the big fun part of shooting film – but again, that's an emotion. The 360° images are just amazing and once you start using the Spinner, you simply can't stop – also because everyone around you wants to try it as well. So you better be prepared and have enough films with you!

My son has had the .40 for a couple of years now and the more you shoot it the better the trigger seems to get.
A friend of mine picked up a 9mm at a gun show over the weekend...we went to shoot it at the range. The only thing I didn't like was the trigger just like others stated. It was just extremely different from my XD. I think either a job on it or just more time getting used to it being different may help. Still I think a great gun for the $$$$
My son has had the .40 for a couple of years now and the more you shoot it the better the trigger seems to get.
Everything looked fine so the transfer proceeded (obviously). Looked it over more closely last night - nothing amiss. Trigger feels good actually. Much better than the two examples I handled at stores. Time to gather some rounds and send some down range. Hopefully the weather warms up a bit (where's that confounded global warming?!?). Sent the papers in for the free mags this morning.
Let us know how it shoots.
Nice looking gun, I bet you will love it. It looks great in all black, have a good time with it.
Long time, no post. Sorry, no good reason. I have been unusually busy with stuff since the pistol arrived. Nothing pressing, just stuff. So, I have not yet taken it out. But, my two freebee mags arrived today so that is a good thing. I hope to hit a range within the next week or two.
WOW! another month of stuff getting in the way of firing this thing. But yesterday I finally got to put an even hundred through it. Results were very good, I think.
I tried four different brands 10 each then another 15 each. No problems at all. Accuracy of the gun was as good as I had hoped. MY accuracy was FAR better than I expected. At 20 feet I could easily make 4" groups standing. I haven't fired handgun for almost 20 years, so I was very happy with the first outing.
Trigger pull was heavy (a known and expected thing) but was not a problem. Maybe a little rough/gritty but I am still holding off with any changes there.
I tried the following ammunition in no particular:
- Barbaul Brown Bear 115 gr Steel (laquered) case
- CCI/Speer Blazer 115 gr Aluminum case
- Federal 115 gr Brass case
- PMC Bronze 115 gr Brass
They all seemed of similar accuracy as I did not feel the need to make any "corrections". The only thing that seemed odd was the the Blazers (aluminum) ejected up and back. One bounced off my head, another few off my right shoulder. All the others ejected nearly straight to the side.
I loaded all four mags with 10 rounds and fired them. Then I reloaded each with 15. I did not fire them in the same order the second time as I did the first. The results were the same both sessions.
So, I am completely pleased with the gun itself and the deal I got (thanks Bud's and S&W). Thanks to all here who gave straight answers and opinions that lead to the purchase.
I have a short story to tell about my son's first time shooting. I'll post that in the next day or two in the general long gun section.
For the price a Sigma is hard to beat that's why I own two .40's.

Kirkman's Maximum Spectrum Enzym-Complete/DPP-IV™ Fruit Free w/Isogest® capsules are free of fruit derived enzymes' such as bromelain' kiwi and papaya that can occasionally cause issues for some sensitive individuals.
This product differs from Kirkman's EnZym-Complete/DPP-IV™ II with Isogest® by including additional disaccharidase enzyme activity to more completely breakdown complex disaccharides and carbohydrates' such as sugars and starches' to the monosaccharides glucose and fructose.
However' like EnZym-Complete/DPP-IV™ II with Isogest®' it is a comprehensive multiple enzyme formulation that acts on all food groups. In addition to the carbohydrase enzymes' it contains proteases' peptidases' lipase' cellulase' phytase and amylases for complete digestive support.
Disaccharidase enzymes in the product with increased concentrations include: lactase for additional lactose digestion; maltase for additional maltose digestion; glucoamylase for polysaccharide and starch digestion; and Isogest®' Kirkman's exclusive specialty enzyme for addressing isomaltase insufficiency. Kirkman® products are the only commercially available enzyme products that contain this isomaltase activity.
The importance of this missing enzyme fraction was confirmed in January 2004 by R. Kushak' PhD and T. Buie' MD of Massachusetts General Children's Hospital in an intestinal biopsy study involving 100 children with special requirements and sensitivities. The study showed that 60% of these patients had weak lactase activity and 25-45% had weak isomaltase/palatinase activity' which substantiated their special dietary need for an enzyme providing isomaltase/palatinase activity.
This study provided the impetus for Kirkman® to search for an enzyme that had isomaltase/palatinase activity. Kirkman® found that enzyme and trademarked it Isogest®.
Isogest® has the ability to split isomaltose into two molecules of glucose and to split palatinose into one molecule of glucose and one molecule of fructose. The result of including this new enzyme is better' more complete carbohydrate digestion. Currently' no other enzyme product can offer this added activity.
The presence of Isogest® gives this product the equivalent activity of the isomaltase fraction of the sucrase/isomaltase enzyme found in the human digestive system.
Physicians and parents who evaluated products containing Kirkman's Isogest® reported the following:
• Less bloating.
• More regular bowel habits.
• Less constipation.
• More normal stools.
• Better overall digestion with less discomfort.
• Firmer stools.
• Less gas.
• Less diarrhea.
• Less sensitivity to dairy and grains.
• Less odorous bowel movements.

Get your rear in gear with Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month
BATON ROUGE - Dr. Louis Barfield from Mary Bird Perkins Our Lady of the Lake Cancer Center drops by 2une In to tell you how you can fight the second leading cause of cancer death in Louisiana.
"Colon cancer is one of the most curable for all cancer diseases if caught early," said Dr. Barfield, colorectal surgeon and chair of the Colorectal Cancer MDC Team.
The main challenge with colon cancer is that symptoms do not appear until the later stages, which makes it harder to treat. If detected early, however, it is one of the more treatable forms of cancer.
As Dr. Barfield explained, "we've seen how early detection can save lives and it's important for people to have an in-depth conversation with their doctors about being screened." In addition to getting regular colonoscopies once you turn 50, the Cancer Center also offers free take-home kits.
To learn more about how you can get a free screening and Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, watch the video or visit the Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center website.

We have to admit that we've been known to descend into a state of panic and shaking when rumours start circulating and suggesting that ITV is considering The X Factor, so today we're feeling pretty chuffed because apparently the singing show is here to stay!
Simon Cowell brought The X Factor and Britain's Got Talent to the British TV channel and
it's director of television Peter Fincham has claimed that both formats are integral to ITV's success and will be about for the forseeable future.
Ratings dipped for the singing competition over the past few years, ever since the judging lineup lost Simon and Cheryl Cole and the lower viewing figures led to speculation that time could be running out for the reality TV talent format.
BGT has regained it's audience, ever since David Walliams joined the panel and Cowell returned on a full time basis but X Factor has been consistently losing out to it's BBC rival Strictly Come Dancing in recent years, as it goes head to head in the weekly Saturday night ratings battle.
This year the show has been shaken up and tweaked and ITV director Peter has insisted that he's committed to both series' and that they are here to stay.
"Huge brands like The X Factor and BGT are absolutely central to our schedule, I think they're going to be around for a long time to come." he said speaking at the Edinburgh Television Festival.
The news comes after reports suggested that ITV were considering axing Britain's Got Talent, before the 2013 run delivered bumper audiences and attracted rave reviews.
The X Factor returns next Saturday, August 31 and viewers will be treated to footage of the best and worst auditioness that showed up to perform for Sharon Osbourne, Gary Barlow, Louis Walsh and Nicole Scherzinger at the recent tryouts.
The stars will be in London to launch the show this week, however Gaz is in New York currently with the most talented of his acts and he's whittling down the last six groups to just three for the live shows. He tweeted:
"Hello Manhattan ! I'm ready for action !"
Earlier this week he posted:
"Last few days of hols ! Back to work this Sunday then no rest till Xmas !"
