I won't name, names because, I'd be no better than those doing this. WHY do some feel the need to start threads to bash a specific poster?
What is so lacking in your lives that you only seem to derive pleasure from trashing people and acting like "internet tough guys"? And what's with all the racist vitriol? If you're so big and bad, say it somebodies face! Stop hiding behind your computers cowards! Take it to the streets and see how far you get. I'm sure many of you will "judge" this "clueless" and the rest of the petty judgements you enjoy giving people who don't agree with you, or who are black. I'm just hoping at least ONE of you, will examine your motives and answer honestly.

LOL! WHAT are YOU doing about it specifically besides hiding behind your computer posting crap? I'm a tax payer, your point? As for hiding, NO, I just have a life, something you seem to be lacking. I just can't sit here all day like you racist ranters. As usual, you're incapable of commenting without juvenile name calling. I've put quite a bit of information about myself here. So your point?

Actually that fool is doing no such thing with me. I ordered the book you recommended! I was honestly hoping you and I could discuss at a later date. While we don't agree on much, I was hoping we'd have an intelligent conversation about it. What I don't get and maybe you can enlighten me is, why when you and many of your friends here rant about the very same people, I work to get out of the cycle they're in, you folks attack those that , that are getting an education and want to be more. Why all the nastiness toward those who are going to school and getting an education?

Thank you,that was the link I was looking for and you just gave it to me."Your white father and husband".Sounds like you and "Biracial" have an awfull lot in common,strange,how many people that post on here are biracial? Could it be you two are the same person or maybe bro and ho? Is that why he runs to your aid like the little lap puppy he is? I'll bet the closest you got to Park Ave is when you either broke into a house or were hired to clean it.Last but not least: It is a fact that when someone brags about what they have they have nothing.Most of us on here could tell you about our houses,cars,degrees,ect,but we don't because we,unlike you,don't have to prove anything to anyone.Now put your big girl/boy pants on and act like an adult,that is if you can.Just saying.

Venus the Vegan
Sjögren's syndrome is a chronic autoimmune disease in which the body's white blood cells destroy the exocrine glands, specifically the salivary and lacrimal glands, that produce saliva and tears. Due to a lack of secretion, the body experiences extreme dryness. Venus Williams was diagnosed with this in 2011 but started noticing symptoms in 2004. As a professional athlete, Sjögren's syndrome can be debilitating since it is known to cause joint pain. In fact, Venus was on a brief hiatus because of this. To this day, there is no cure for the disease, but Venus is fighting back…through her diet. Apparently, a raw vegan diet helps alleviate the symptoms. Here is a quick look at Venus's diet:
•Juicing – the process of extracting juice from plant tissues such as fruits or vegetables.
oMakes it easy for people who don't eat enough fruits and vegetables
oPicking a range of colors exposes you to more vitamins and nutrients.
oMix some pulp in the juice to get fiber

Scaring up votes for Bush
A University of Missouri study found that the more people were reminded of their own mortality and the more they were shown images of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the more likely they were to support President Bush over John Kerry.
Psychology professor Jamie Arndt led a study of 374 students from the University of Missouri-Columbia, Rutgers University and Brooklyn College. Students who answered questions about death and the 9/11 attacks were more supportive of Bush than those asked questions about watching TV or taking exams.
"Nine-eleven is seared in people's minds, and (Bush) benefits from keeping it in people's minds," Arndt said. "There's a definite connection there."
One of Bush's first TV ads had fleeting images of 9/11, and it drew criticism. On Aug. 30, Republicans will open their national convention at Madison Square Garden, three miles from ground zero.
If it's not on television, does it happen?
Voter turnout guru Curtis Gans studied 10 states that had elections for governor, U.S. Senate or U.S. House in 2002 and found that TV ignored more than half of the scheduled debates in those states. Of 174 face-offs scheduled in California, Florida, Indiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Washington, 100 events (57 percent) were not televised.
"The picture portrayed by these findings is of a handful of civic-minded stations attempting to perform, at least minimally, their public service obligations, while the overwhelming majority of broadcast outlets pursue maximum profit at the expense of an informed citizenry," Gans said.
Religiously voting — or not
Researchers Ariela Keysar and Barry A. Kosmin are writing a book that details the close relationship between a person's religion — or lack thereof — and their voting habits. One finding: The most religious elements of the population are more likely to vote — and more likely to vote Republican — while the most secular among us tend to view themselves as independents.
"Religion in a Free Market" is due out next year, but the authors have released a summary of their findings on religion and politics. They found that Protestants tend to be Republican and that non-Christians tend to be Democrats. The authors also have concluded that religion makes little difference to black voters. They overwhelmingly identify with the Democratic Party, no matter whether they are Catholic, Baptist or not religious at all.
Keysar, a demographer and senior research fellow at Brooklyn College in New York, and Kosmin, a sociologist, did their study under the City University of New York's Graduate Center.
Liberals and conservatives — can't we all just get along?
Researchers at the College of William & Mary in Virginia and the University of Missouri-Columbia tried to determine whether self-described liberals are more compassionate than self-described conservatives. (Remember when Bush called himself a "compassionate conservative?")
The study's conclusion: There is no empathy gap.
William & Mary researchers Lisa Anderson and Jennifer Mello, along with Missouri's Jeff Milyo, created separate control groups of conservatives and liberals based on a survey of their political activities and beliefs.
Individuals in each group were then asked to contribute to help others but in a way that would be against each individual's self-interest. Each group contributed similar amounts.
Despite the stereotype that says liberals are more empathetic than conservatives, Milyo said the researchers "found that Democrats and liberals behave no differently than Republicans and conservatives in our experiments."

Croatia's Prime Minister designate Andrej Plenkovic has named his cabinet, which comprises several ministers from the outgoing government under Tihomir Oreskovic, including market-friendly Finance Minister Zdravko Maric. The Croatian parliament is due to vote on the cabinet and Plenkovic's government programme on October 19.
Plenkovic's Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) and the Bridge of Independent Lists (Most) struck a new coalition deal shortly after Croatia's September 11 snap election. The previous government, also a HDZ-Most tie-up, collapsed in June.
In the new cabinet, Plenkovic plans to replace caretaker Foreign Minister Miro Kovac with Davor Ivo Stier, a Buenos Aires-born Croat who returned to Croatia in 1996, serving as foreign policy adviser to former Prime Minister Ivo Sanader before taking a seat in the European Parliament.
Plenkovic has also replaced Culture Minister Zlatko Hasanbegovic with Nina Obuljen. Historian Hasanbegovic had been a controversial appointment from the start due to his apparent sympathy for the WW2 pro-Nazi Ustashe regime. He also angered journalists by cutting funding for the media.
Among the other changes, Tourism Minister Anton Kliman was replaced with Gari Capelli while EU Funds Minister Tomislav Tolusic was moved to the agriculture ministry, according to information published on the Croatian parliament's website.
Minister of Transport Oleg Butkovic, Minister of Construction Lovro Kuscevic and Minister of War Veterans Tomo Medved kept their posts while Milan Kujindzic was appointed as health minister. Pavo Barisic was nominated as minister of education while Tomislav Coric was appointed as minister of labour and Goran Maric as minister without portfolio.
Three ministers from the HDZ's junior partner Most kept their posts - Environmental Protection Minister Slaven Dobrovic, Justice Minister Ante Sprlje and Interior Minister Vlaho Orepic. Most leader Bozo Petrov has already been voted in as parliament speaker, though Most and the HDZ will share the post over the next four years.
Ivan Kovacic, a newcomer to the cabinet, will represent Most in the cabinet as deputy prime minister and public administration minister. The other three deputy prime ministers are HDZ members: Stier, Defence Minister Damir Krstevic and Economy Minister Martina Dalic.
In addition to Dalic and Obuljen, two other women will join the new cabinet, Regional Development and EU Funds Minister Gabrijela Zalac and Social Policy Minister Nada Murganic.
The Croatian parliament previously decided at its first session on October 14 to decrease the number of ministries to 19 from the previous 20. The ministry of entrepreneurship has been merged under the ministry of economy. The ministry of environmental protection and nature has been transformed to the ministry of environmental protection and energy, taking over the control of the energy portfolio, including state-owned energy company INA, and water management.
Since a majority of MPs back the new coalition, Plenkovic is expected to take over the post from caretaker Prime Minister Oreskovic late on October 19 and to represent Croatia at a European Council meeting in Brussels on October 20. Technocrat Oreskovic previously announced that he will return to his business career.
HDZ, which led the September 11 polls with 61 seats, and Most, which has 13 seats in the 151-seat parliament, will also have the backing of national minority MPs, the Croatian Peasant Party and Milan Bandic Party.
The Plenkovic government aims to implement a comprehensive tax reform and to cut the budget deficit further with the ultimate aim of returning Croatia's credit rating to investment level during its first year in office, according to the government programme. The new Croatian government also plans to take specific measures to fuel investments, especially in agriculture, tourism and industry, during the first year, as well to increase the effectiveness of state institutions by simplifying rules and improving the administration and justice system, Total Croatia News reported. The Plenkovic government also plans an education reform in the first year.
The coalition deal between HDZ and Most reduces near-term uncertainty and suggests that attempts to reform the economy and reduce debt will continue, Fitch said on October 11. However, recent history suggests political risks to policy implementation will persist, the rating agency warned.

Boxing, MMA and Wrestling
Sat Jun 1 6:30PM ET
Conflict MMA Promotions returns on June 1 with Fight Night at the Point 9, a mega card, emanating from the Omar Shrine Temple in Mt Pleasant, South Carolina. Fight Night at the Point 9 promises to tear the house down as all the top fighters from the Dirty South will be squaring off in the cage in front of a rabid audience.
In the main event, Jeremy Severn (2-0) from South Carolina battles Lawson McClure (8-4) of Georgia. Severn has proven perfect in his professional career with both wins coming via stoppage in the first round. Severn is a well-rounded fighter who is known for his submission game, but has also improved his standup and it has started to pay dividends as he scored a TKO in his first pro bout. McClure brings the experience advantage into the cage and is looking to start a winning streak at Severn's expense. McClure is a solid wrestler who grinds out opponents, breaking their wills over the course of a three round fight. McClure loves to bring the fight to his opponents and is always in attack mode. This will be a huge test for Severn as McClure is a cut above any other opponent he has faced. McClure is intent on giving Severn his first pro loss and will push the pace from the opening bell. Don't miss this shootout.
In the co-main event, Jeremy Stevens (6-4) of South Carolina fights Keith Bell (3-2-1) from North Carolina in a heavyweight scrap. Stevens is coming off a controversial decision loss in his last outing and looks to change the tide when he steps into the cage on June 1. Stevens is a heavy puncher who has KO'd several opponents as well as getting a couple submission due to strikes. Every punch is thrown with malice from Stevens. Bell won his last fight in 12 seconds from a head kick. In fact, all but one of Bell's fights have ended before the final bell. That makes Bell an unpredictable fighter as his high risk-high reward style of fighting is hard to game plan for. Expect fireworks from these two gladiators as odds are someone is going down hard.
Conflict MMA Promotions is back with another epic card in front of a worldwide audience courtesy of the GFL Combat Sports Network. Watch Fight Night at the Point 9 on June 1. If you can't be there live, stream the show online at GFL.tv.For full fight card and more details about this event, visit or click

Xtreme Fight Events returns to Harrah's Philadelphia Casino & Racetrack on June 1 with XFE XXIII. XFE has quickly solidified itself in Pennsylvania as the top-tier MMA event where rising stars step into the battleground looking to destroy their opponents.
In the main event, for the XFE Welterweight Title Justin Bonitatis (3-1) battles Brandon Odom (5-8). Bonitatis won the title back in December and this will be his first title defense. Bonitatis is an All-American wrestler and is known for grinding down his opponents and breaking their spirits in the cage. Odom brings an experience advantage into the cage and is a well-traveled vet fighting for the top regional organizations in the Mid-West and East Coast. Odom won his last fight via submission and he is hoping to continue that streak against Bonitatis which will be a tough task.
In other action, for XFE Lightweight Title Ryan Cafaro (6-3) takes on Ryan Holmes (3-1). Cafaro is a strong wrestler with powerful submissions and likes to control his opponent on the ground. Cafaro is very active on the ground and is always looking for the tapout. Holmes will have the height advantage as he stands at 6'0″ and will look to use his reach to stay away from Cafaro's takedowns. Holmes loves to pick his opponents apart and rack up points. This will be a contrast in styles pitting Cafaro's ground game against the striking of Holmes.

In the main event, undefeated local standout Sinjen Smith (4-0) takes on Rob Gamble (2-7) for the vacant URC Lightweight Championship. Smith is a tall lightweight, standing at 6'0″ and uses his length in the striking game as he has 3 of 4 wins via TKO. Smith also possess great takedowns to control his opponents and can get the fight to the mat if need be. Gamble brings an experience advantage into the cage and he will need it to solve the puzzle that is Smith. Gamble is a gritty vet from Oregon, and also stands at 6'0″ so Smith's reach advantage should be negated. Gamble brings a high risk-high reward style of fighting into the cage and will look to go after Smith from the opening bell. Expect these two to have a shootout as the winner will walk away with a title.
In the co-main event, Autumn Norton (2-1) battles Amber Leibrock (0-0) in a featherweight scrap. Norton comes from California and is coming off a tough loss in her last outing. Before that she was undefeated winning both of her fights in the first round; one by TKO and one by submission. Norton will have an experience advantage against Leibrock who will be making her MMA debut. Leibrock also hails from California, the Bay Area to be exact, and brings a solid grappling game into the fight. She is a student of Bay Area Fight Academy and Charles Gracie Jiu Jitsu. If the fight hits the mat, expect a chess match from these two women.
In other news, Midtown MMA coming all the way from Oregon will be in the house as Justin Ellis, Derek Harris and Jesus Lara will look to go 3-0 again.

Is Big Forward Ludvig Rensfeldt Worth Drafting?
Jonathan Willis
June 13 2012 01:58PM
6'3" scoring forward Ludvig Rensfeldt was Chicago's second round pick (35th overall) in 2010. Chicago, perilously close to the NHL's 50-contract limit, opted not to sign him and he will re-enter the draft this year. Is he worth a flyer?
2012 NHL Draft Top 100 - June Update: Yakupov is Unanimous
Derek Zona
June 12 2012 11:39AM
Photo by Bri Weldon, via Wikimedia Commons
Aside from Mathew Dumba's leapfrog of Mikhail Grigorenko, the top 12 in our consensus list remained the same. Nail Yakupov has gone from the strong consensus #1 to the unanimous #1 and Filip Forsberg has lengthened his lead on Alex Galchenyuk, but the list has held steady.
The big movers in June jumped into the back half of the first round. Rogle's Hamphus Lindholm moved five spots to #16, Oshawa's Scott Laughton moved 19 spots to #23 and Henrik Samuelsson moved thirteen spots to #30.
Future Considerations describes Lindholm as "...a very aggressive puck rushing defenseman with a high offensive upside. He starts rushes quickly with his high-end skating ability and vision." But with a significant downside, namely, his defensive game: "He makes bad decisions and is not hard enough on the puck. Inconsistent play is the biggest detraction from Lindholm's game. He can force things and tries to make low percentage passes that turn into odd-man rushes or scoring chances against."
Hockey Prospectus' Corey Pronman thinks Laughton is "...a quick, smart effective player with an average skill level who is a "does all the little things" type of guy in the lineup and seems to always be around the play." but doesn't think he projects into the top six in the NHL.
The Scouting Report thinks Samuelsson is a grinder, noting he's "...a strong complementary player that does the dirty work, but has enough skill to finish off plays as well." But he isn't going to be an offensive dynamo, "Skating is pretty average, and his offensive puck skills aren't going to blow you away..."
The sources for the consensus list are Bob McKenzie, Redline Report, Future Considerations, ISS, Craig Button, Hockey Prospectus, The Scouting Report, and Win Shares via Nick, A.K.A. Mathletic. Their prior records are used to establish a weighting so that the opinions of the more accurate (McKenzie and Button) have more value than the opinions of the less accurate.
Boston Bruins re-sign Chris Kelly
Cam Charron
June 11 2012 04:44PM
Stop me if you've heard this one: a National Hockey League team overpaid for a bottom six role player. Granted, Chris Kelly had a 20-goal season, a career-high, but he also "led" the NHL in PDO and had a 16.3% shooting rate. Essentially, his percentages, and his age (32 next season) probably indicate that future success from Kelly is a bad bet.
This didn't stop the Bruins from signing Kelly to a four-year deal worth $12M.

The Colorado Avalanche have told the world "I'm A Believer" when it comes to David Jones. Last week they inked Jones to a four year deal with a four million dollar average annual value. They spent this coin on a forward with 67 goals in 239 career games. The initial thought I had was "Oh My My", but perception isn't always correct. The contract deserves a closer look to see if the Avs have legitimate reasons to believe or if they're really just "Daydream Believers".

This new, regular feature on NHLNumbers will share interesting stats-related posts from around the web every week.
Player Usage Charts are here!
2011-12 NHL Player Usage Charts for every NHL team, accompanied by expert insights from a field of 20+ analysts, are now available for download here
Obviously we believe very strongly in the usefulness of these charts. We've already used Player Usage Charts repeatedly on NHL Numbers, like when Josh Lile looked at the Dallas Stars, or when I looked at last year's rookies, or the league's top defensive pairings for example, and very rarely does an article go by without at least some mention of one of its core components (Offensive Zone Starts, Quality of Competition or Relative Corsi). In fact, we might be giving away our secret by providing these ground breaking statistics in such an understandable fashion - we might have to soon rely solely on Wanye's wit for our readership.
Others have picked up on Player Usage Charts since it was unveiled June 1st, including:
- Daniel Wagner covered the Vancouver Canucks over at Pass it to Bulis Vancouver Sun Sports Blogs.
- He also previewed the New Jersey Devils and Los Angeles Kings series over on the score.
- The Tampa Bay Lightning were covered over at Raw Charge.
- Dirk Hoag covered the Nashville Predators over at On the Forecheck
- Graeme Nichols handled the Ottawa Senators over at the 6th Sens (I see Daigle people).
- And Derek Jedamski covered the Buffalo Sabres for the Buffalo Examiner
Several of us contributed to this project, including me, Kent Wilson, Jonathan Willis, Eric Tulsky, Corey Sznajder and Josh Lile, and we almost all use them on a regular basis, so we're quite proud to have unveiled this last Friday. So download the PDF, print it off, grab a cold one, sift through it this week-end, and let us know what you think.
Also unveiled this week was this year's look at zone entries over at Broad Street Hockey. The fine folks over there, including Eric T and Geoff Detweiler, examine every single Philadelphia Flyer zone entry and then conduct some fascinating analysis on the consequences of various strategies. Truly ground-breaking stuff here.
Part 1
Part 2
While on the topic of how teams act differently depending on the score and the impact that it can have, the imcomparable Tyler Dellow over at MC79 hockey looked at the most dangerous lead in hockey.
"The really funny thing about this is that playing conservatively seems to have little in the way of benefits for the team leading. If you calculate the points on the basis of regulation win being worth two points and a regulation tie being worth 1.5, you would expect the teams leading by one to average 1.66 points. Actual average points collected by teams leading by one heading into the third: 1.67. The real beneficiaries are the teams trailing by one heading into the third period. Their expected points per game is 0.56. They actually averaged 0.64 points per game."
Finally, Brodeur is a Fraud took a look at Darryl Sutter's effect on goalies
"Throughout his career, Sutter's goaltenders have routinely been above average. Sutter-led teams have only posted a below-average save percentage in two out of his dozen seasons as an NHL coach, and in every one of the remaining ten his team was at least .006 above the league benchmark in save rate"
We'll end this week with a cheap plug of my own work over at Hockey Abstract where I've collected lots of raw statistical data, including Player Usage Charts, for every single pending Unrestricted Free Agent. Download a copy and figure out who should go where.

Tube passengers suffered fresh disruption today on a London Underground line which was shut during last night's rush hour, trapping commuters for over an hour.
Services on the Jubilee Line were affected again this morning by a signal failure, leading to "severe" delays and fuelling calls for London's Mayor Boris Johnson to take action.
Commuters on the same line were trapped in crammed underground trains last night - the hottest day of the year.
Some passengers had to endure sweltering temperatures for over an hour before being evacuated through tunnels after a major power failure crippled the line.
The entire line was shut shortly after 7pm yesterday following technical problems, leaving five trains stranded between Kilburn and Canary Wharf.
Underground staff were forced to evacuate thousands of commuters along tracks and through tunnels, while teams of paramedics were sent to meet them over fears of dehydration.
A Transport for London spokesman said: "We would like to apologise to passengers for the disruption to services caused by a power failure on the Jubilee Line.
"Following a report of power failure at Canning Town, the Jubilee was suspended on Tuesday evening.
"Five trains were stalled between Kilburn and Canary Wharf.
"Local ambulance services were dispatched as a matter of course and staff worked to detrain all passengers as quickly as possible.
"No passengers required medical assistance."
Gerry Doherty, leader of the Transport Salaried Staffs Association, said today: "It is high time that Boris Johnson got a grip on the Tube service which has frankly been appalling for many months.
"He keeps claiming that these failings are temporary and everything will be alright on the night when the Olympics gets under way next summer.
"With 500,000 extra visitors expected, he cannot afford to get it wrong. Talk is cheap - we want action now."
Many passengers took to social networking sites to vent their anger at TfL. Glamour magazine editor Jo Elvin was one of those stuck on the Jubilee line.
She wrote on Twitter: "I have just been trapped in an overheated Tube for nearly 30 mins. They didn't know how to get us out.
"So angry and disturbed. That line is a constant joke. That was genuinely alarming, was a bloody oven in there!
"It's just not acceptable to hear announcements such as 'we don't know how to open the doors'. Reassuring, eh? Nice touch too, making us still fish out our tickets for the barriers."
Another Twitter user wrote: "My girlfriend had to walk 20 minutes through a tunnel on the Jubilee line, with no water tonight. This is how we treat commuters - it's sick."
Ken Livingstone, Labour's London Mayoral candidate said: "The Olympics are little over a year away, fares are soaring over inflation and yet delays and chaos on the Tube are unresolved.
"It has become a fiasco, an embarrassment to a world city."
Meanwhile, LU today reported it carried a record 1.1 billion passengers in the past year. During the year ending March 31, the Tube saw about 42 million more passenger journeys than the previous year.
The network also broke its record for the number of passengers carried over a four-week period - topping 90.6 million in the four weeks leading up to Christmas.
LU said it had seen a rise in passenger numbers of 14% in seven years and 40% in 15 years.
Rail Maritime and Transport union leader Bob Crow said: "Two weeks ago the Mayor promised Londoners an end to the chaos on the Jubilee Line - last night and this morning we have seen that the crisis has actually got worse.
"It's time to stop the lies and broken promises and to start working with the unions to put an end to this misery and that means tackling the in-built faults at the heart of the Jubilee operating system and taking action against those who bought and sold us this billion pound pig-in-a-poke.
"RMT members have warned repeatedly that privatisation has left us with a Jubilee Line system that isn't fit for purpose and the misery will continue until that is tackled. Last night also showed why we need platform staff to assist passengers in a breakdown situation and it is time for the cuts to those staff to be stopped."
A TfL spokesman said: "We apologise to customers for today's part suspension of the Jubilee Line between Willesden Green and London Bridge. This is due to a signal failure at Baker Street and is unrelated to last night's suspension, which was a power supply issue
"The part suspension has been put in place to ensure we can continue to run reliable services at the busy ends of the line. Alternative Tube services are available in central London and there is a good service running on other lines.
"We will be refunding customers affected by this morning's Jubilee line issues, as we are last night's."Reuse content

SESSION TYPE: Tobacco Cessation and Prevention
PRESENTED ON: Tuesday, October 23, 2012 at 04:30 PM - 05:45 PM
PURPOSE: To ascertain differences in health related quality of life among lung cancer screening study participants with significant smoking history.
METHODS: 4000 individuals aged 50-79 years participated in PLuSS, a CT-based lung cancer screening study. Subsequently, 977 subjects at the highest lung cancer risk stratum were enrolled into PLuSS-extension. 96% were white and 58.5% were men. Subjects were distributed by age in the following manner: 15% 50-59 years, 24% 60-64 years, 30% 65-69 years and 31% 70 years or greater. 27.8%, 37.5% and 34.7% of subjects attained high school or less, some college and college degree or higher respectively. Similarly, 20%, 48% and 22% smoked less than 20, 20-29 and 30 or more cigarettes per day respectively. 55.5% of subjects were current smokers at PLuSS-extension enrollment. All 977 participants were assessed using spirometry, St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) and the MRC dyspnea scale. 12 subjects were excluded due to missing data. Differences in mean SGRQ scores were tested using the Kruskal-Wallis chi-square test.
RESULTS: Females reported higher levels of impairment on activity (p<0.0001), impact (p=0.0375) and total scores (p=0.0010). No gender difference was detected in symptom domain (p=0.2400). Age was not associated with differences in any SGRQ scores. Educational attainment was inversely associated with impairment in activity (p=0.0021), impact (p=0.0064) and total scores (p=0.0028). Level of attained education was not associated with symptom scores (p=0.1014). Current smoking was associated with impairments in symptom (p<0.0001) impact (p=0.0216) and total score domains (p=0.0112). There was no association between current smoking and activity scores (p=0.7701). Number of cigarettes smoked per day was associated with impairment on all SGRQ scores. Spirometry-based GOLD scores and MRC dyspnea grades both showed strong statistical association with all SGRQ domains (p<0.0001).
CONCLUSIONS: In a population with significant smoking history, we found varying levels of HRQL-impairment on the basis of education, gender, smoking status and number of cigarettes consumed per day.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: This finding may assist in clinical assessment and care of non-hospitalized smokers.

Payton- ChangesMature
"We are not doing another duo, are we?" I ask sharply, not caring to my hold my tong for Max's sake. What else could the two of be doing in the studio, two nights till we leave for a huge companion.
"No. Not this week. We are having a little bit of fun-" Jake says with a sly smile.
"What?" Max asks quickly. "Are we doing chorography?"
"You are. You two will be competing in the same age group, since Payton's birthday is in two weeks, and Max your in the Senior division are ready. You two, for the first time in years will be going head to head." Mary said.
"WHAT?" We both yelled at the moment. Max and I, we have never competed in the age division in years. For solos. Mary and Jake tried to take turns competing us with solos.
"Are we both competing solos?" I asked.
"Yes." Mary said.
"Which ones?" Max asked. Why does he know what I'm going to ask?
"New ones." Jake said.
"Oh." we said at the same time.
"Here's the fun part, Jake and I are going to coach you two apart. You will have no clue what the other is doing, what alone what tricks they are doing. You will have equal chance of winning. Deal?"
I smiled. I was very comptive, and the fact that I was still pissed of at Max, and was yet to tell him that Elliot kissed me. And, I kinda liked it.
"Well, all I can say is, Max, your going down." I said turning to look at him.
"Your on." He said.
"Ok, Max come with me. Pay, stay with Jake." Mary lead Max out of the studio, and shut the door loudly. It was on.
"What am I doing? Lyrical? Arco? We both know I'll destroy him if I do one of those. Or Jazz-"
"Your doing jazz." Jake said. Not a lot of people know this, but Jake is gay. So, in my option, he is better at given me privets for my solos.
"To?" I ask, with a grin.
"Candyman. The glee version." He said with a smile. "And, in this song, you're a pin up girl."
I smiled. Pin up Girl. Something cute, and flirty. And something that will win. If I play my cards right.
"Oh good. Not something over used." I said with a laugh.
Jake turned and walked to the end of the long room. He picked up a water bottle. I smiled. A prop. That always gave dancers bonus.
"Hers your prop. It's going to be a bottle of Vodka." I laughed. Vodka and I- we have had some pretty crazy times. In my dreams. "Your going to drop it when they talk about vodka. Deal?"
"Deal." I said.
"Ok, so your going to start off stage. Your going to do a front flip at the first count. Then from there your going to land in your right spilt. Good girl-"
The dance was really fun and easy. But, I had to play it right. I had to do all of the faces to beat Max and if I didn't, well, the dance would look dumb.
"Ok, we are done for tonight." Jake said after I ran the dance eight times. "Go tell Elliot to get his as- I mean butt in here for your duet." I raised a eyebrow.
"All most cuss Jake?" I said with a wink.
"Finally, I'm doing a duet. God, I thought I was never to get on." Elliot said, standing next to me. A little too close for my liking. Or, should I say Maxs. But whatever he doesn't know won't hurt him.
"Ok, listen. You have two days to master this. I swear if you don't master this tonight, you won't win. This dance is dark, and the music is what you'd here at a computation. But I don't care. This will win. No doubt in my mind." Jake said, a touch of sternness in his voice.
He was right, the dance was amazing. Till he called for the should lift, where I laid on Elliot's shoulder with my legs in a posse.
"That's mine and Max's signature move." I said, beating Elliot's hands away before he could lift me.
"So?" Elliot asked, not caring.
"Jake?" I said.
"I don't care. It is hot move. It goes with the song. Paralyzer is the type of song it would look really hot in." Jake answered.
I sighed. Max was my best friend, even if he hurt me like he did. I still loved him. Not like a boyfriend. But I didn't have the guts to tell him that. If he saw that move, he would die. I just know it.
"Fine." I said. We finished learning the dance and where running it for the third or fourth time when all hell broke lose.
"Elliot, you grab he out of that turn, and do the lift good.." Jake said but was interrupted.
"Jake- My mom is coming to get Payton and I- What the hell? Elliot, put her down." Max said, papering out nowhere. Elliot gave a jump, at the sound of Max's voice. He dropped me roughly, making me land unsteadily.
Elliot put his arm around my waist to steady me, not knowing it would only fuel the fire. I looked down, not wanting to watch.
"Payton, look up." Max said.
"No." I answered.
"Payton look at me." I said, hearing Maxs voice coming closer.
"And I said no." I said again. Elliot's hold my waist tighten.
"What-Payton, what's your problem?"
"It's just lift Max! You don't need to get all pissed off. I wouldn't act that way if what's that tall slut's name? Well, I wouldn't get pissed if you lifted her. Why wouldn't you?" I asked, not thinking of what I was saying.
"Who are you? Your dating him aren't you? Elliot? Wasn't that your plan all along? To break Pay and I apart? Well, it sure as hell worked." Max said and turned on his heel.

Nothing like Hydralight
By Amanda
from Tampa FL
About Me Beauty Conscious
Comments about CALM Kit for Normal to Oily Skin - Full Kit:
Because I have used and loved the hydralight line for years I gave this a try. I can not stress enough how much I dislike this set. This is not a line for "normal" to oily skin, this is for straight up oily skin. The toner is the old redness relief lotion in a new bottle. Half of it went in my trash, I've given some of the other products away. So disappointed.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

My Skin Is In Love!!!
By Marnster
from Oshkosh, WI
About Me Minimalist
I absolutely love Paula's Choice Calm Collection. My skin is so sensitive and/or red that I am always so cautious when changing to a new company. BUT...I tried this line and my skin is starting to settle down, even my husband has commented on my skin! I flush very easy, like I am always embarrassed, but this has helped so much. There was another company I was going to try, but forget it, I am a Paula's Choice success story. The only con I can think of is the size of the Repairing Serum. I can only use it once a day, because it is only 1 oz. Other than that I am a happy, happy camper. :)
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Great for easily irritated skin!
By Erin
from Highland Park, NJ
I have had rosacea for several years, and this line is wonderful! It helps to keep my skin from feeling irriated, and there is a noticable reduction in redness. Every product in this collection is great!

Calm kit
By MOMO
from Ottawa. On
I started using the entire sensitive line one week ago. Withing 3 days I have noticed significant changes to the texture and pore size. Within 2-3 I noticed that my skin was regenerating faster this lightly without irritation seeding the old skin. It would simply rub off a little yes;first week I got the occasional small topical pumpke-which I expected after changing my old Clinoque line. 7 days later-no pipples-no redness, my skin is smooth and feels non greasy all day. This is huge difference for me. I did not think that it was possible. Love the entire line-sent free and yet luxurious like. Cream is dense but quick absorbing and hydrating. Thank you. Highly recommend.

By dhomalley
from Black Hills, SD
I started out using this entire kit, but my oily, acne-prone skin developed cystic acne, white heads, and the oiliness didn't improve. When I realized the toner smelled similar to the Resist Weekly Retexturing Foam 4% BHA I discontinued using it as I'd had previous breakout problems with that product. Almost instantly my complexion started clearing up. Next, because I didn't like the oily feel, and the balling that occurred with the serum I stopped using it. Over the following week my oily skin began normalizing. Now, after 3 months of daily use with the remaining products my skin is clear, and my oily skin has normalized. I still have oily skin, but to a much more moderate degree. My complexion and coloring are so clear that, when not at work, I wear very little make-up!My profession requires me to use airbrush foundation and full make-up, and the cleanser works very well at removing these products. I do double cleanse, but as I have oily skin I've always double cleansed. As for the 1% BHA exfoliant, I absolutely love it! Mysterious little bumps have now disappeared from my skin, my pores appear smaller, and I no longer need to express my pores on an almost daily basis. I may need to do a small amount of expressing in the T-zone once a month.The SPF30 Mineral Moisturizer works wonders for me. It should be noted that one only needs to apply a small amount to get the job done. The product is quite thin and spreads well. The mineral base doesn't activate my overly active oil glands, and helps keep me matte until one quick touch-up is needed around 1 or 2 PM.I find the Redness Relief Moisturizer for evening use just the right balance. It adds more moisture than I would need during the day, but my skin loves it at night. I do apply this heavier than the SPF Mineral Moisturizer due to its thicker consistently, but it applies smoothly.BOTTOM LINE: Save yourself money and breakouts by skipping the toner and serum. Try the other 4 products on their own. They do a wonderful job of clearing pores, eliminating redness, and reducing oil. In fact these 4 products alone do what PC advertises this line to do. The other 2 products are deal breakers in my opinion, and that's why I gave 4 stars.

Incredibly effective
By Rosaceagirl
from Michigan
I use this kit daily. I am unable to use the toner, it really irritated my skin. I use the other four ingredients...using the SPF moisturizer during the day and the other at night. I suffered (under a dermatologist care ) with painful, unbecoming rosacea flare ups, T zone breakouts and incredibly dry, sensitive skin for a long time. Because my dermatologist was bad at this I took matters into my own hands and did some research. This product was recommended by reviews, so I took a shot. I have not had a flare up since I started and my skin feels amazing. Moisturized, and healthy. Finding a kit with anti aging elements that are also not irritating can be a challenge. I highly, highly recommend!

Stick with it
By Roosterfish
from Vancouver, BC
I bought this set on a whim and when I first used it I was less than impressed and moved onto other things. Not being a wasteful person eventually guilt got the better of me and I pulled it out of my skincare cabinet to use it up and now I am in love with it. I think you have to be consistent with this product and use all the items as prescribed. My skin texture now is much better, less breakouts and no irritation whiteheads anywhere. My only complaint with this product is the smell which is kind of gross and the serum always runs out before everything else. I don't think the quantities of the products are balanced. Other than that they work great.

Just ok
By RxGal
from Irving, TX
This kit is best for sensitive and/or combination skin IMO.Cleanser: not drying my skin out, milky texture, but it doesn't make my skin feel clean either. Not too great at removing/ dissolving makeup. The cap needs a new design because there usually more liquid pouring out more than I wanted to use. Toner: smells bad, and it doesn't disappear! BHA exfoliant: it's actually not greasy or drying out my skin. I would probably step up to 2%.Serum and Night time moisturizer (no SPF): not greasy, but doesn't improve skin or pore appearance eitherSPF 30 moisturizer: Perhaps my skin just doesn't like SPF. This is still a bit too greasy for me. I live in north TX and after 4 hrs working, I already feel like my face is oily. but it's still a lot better than other moisturizer sunscreens I've used. It probably works great for someone else. I regretfully had to send this back. It just didn't work for my skin type.

I'm reordering right now!
By RocknRoxie
from West Monroe Louisiana
I have been using in the morning and before bedtime. I had actually looked up the phone number to go have a procedure to eliminate the redness! Reordering now, don't think it can repair broken capillaries but all the redness is gone! Wish I had taken before pictures to show you how fabulous this skin system is! Order now, hope your results are as great as mine have been.

Hits and misses.
By Dustin
from Asheville, NC
This kit is likely to be disappointing to many with truly oily skin, especially if it's prone to breakouts. It's not that any of the products are bad, it's just that I would strongly disagree that all of them are suited to oily skin. The amazing product in this line -- suited to oily skin -- is the serum. It is fantastic, and I have found that it does decrease redness. The cleanser, however, is too mild, and you may have to wash your face twice to just remove a basic sunscreen. My least favorite product in this line is easily the sunscreen -- which feels very heavy, leaves a greasy film and a ghost-like white cast (I really really dislike it). I did not find that the 1% BHA in this line was powerful enough to control blemishes, either, even though I quite liked its texture and aesthetics. I think oily and sensitive skinned types would be better served by mixing and matching products. The Resist Ultra Light Wrinkle Defense SPF 30 is far more appropriate, and it also contains far more bells and whistles. The 2% BHA from the CLEAR line is ultra gentle and far more effective than this. But definitely try this very amazing serum.

24.2: No More Pain
Knock. Knock.
"Who is it?" I called, knowing full well who was on the other side of my door.
"Elijah, please," her genuine concern permeated through to my ears.
I sighed, breaking the flow of Essence that surrounded me. "Come in," I requested without opening my eyes.
Solana stepped in with small, careful strides. It was comforting to see her this way, but I couldn't express it because I was so wrapped up in my anger.
"Is it time to train?" I asked, my eyes closed, and my head not turning to her.
"No. It's not."
"Then why are you here?"
Solana sat beside me. Her blonde hair brushed against my shoulder like a feather. "You know that I want to help you find your parents. So, yes. You were right. I purposely left you plenty of time to eavesdrop on Celeste. I really didn't think you'd look the other way at it, either. You've become so much more in-tune with Essence, and I just want to say that I'm proud of you."
"That makes one of us."
Solana staggered at my response, "What do you mean?"
I took another sigh, "I haven't changed Solana. I haven't changed one bit. I'm still that crybaby who has been begging the world for something that was taken from me years ago. No matter what, at the front of my mind is that drive to search. Coming to the Castle was a mistake. Everything I have done up to this point was stupid. I should've stayed in Old Tenebris."
I didn't have to look at Solana to feel her fist clenching. Her Essence was simmering with aggravation. Her skin seemed to boil at my words.
"Don't ever say that again."
"What? That joining the Order was a mistake?"
"That everything you have done was stupid."
Shocked, I opened an eye and looked her way. Solana's eyes were trained on the side of my face earnestly.
"If you never came to this Castle, you would never have found out all of this information regarding your missing parents. Before you came here, you had no leads, and now look," she pointed to the metal case on my counter. "You would've never found that without joining the Order. And...you would never find out what I'm about to tell you."
"So you were keeping something from me."
"Not because of my own choice. These aren't my words. They're Celeste's, which is why I had you spy on her. She should have been the one to tell you this, not me. It's something that eats away at her, and it involves you too. You deserve to know what's going on."
"You're only doing this because I saw right through your lie," I said bitterly.
"No, I'm not. I tried getting Celeste to open up to you about this, but it's been consuming her ever since she returned from New Perfi. It was ever since she saw your face and heard your name. When you two first met and Celeste ran away, I chased her, looking for an explanation. She told me everything. And now, I'm going to tell you. So you better pay attention."
Solana took a deep inhale. However, before she could begin speaking, I held my finger over her lips. Both of my eyes opened, and I turned my head directly at her.
"Don't," I told her.
"What? But it's information you need to—"
"That doesn't matter," I turned back to the mirror that stood across the room. "It doesn't matter if it means I'm going to end up hurting someone again. I can't keep going if finding what I'm looking for brings pain to those around me, the people that I am lucky to call my friends." I began to choke up, "You could offer me my parents back, but if it puts you, or Celeste, or Wyatt in danger, I would refuse."
"I understand," Solana smiled, watching her reflection in the mirror as well. "You value your friends now above anything. You cherish the family that is here more than the one that might not have been drawn into the picture just yet. That's a great philosophy to live by."
"Yeah, it really is."
Our heads turned towards the door to my room to see a brunette standing in the doorway. I didn't even notice that Solana left it open. Perhaps I was so entranced by our conversation that I failed to pay attention to everything around me. She looked upon me with a solemn, blank gaze, and she leaned against the door hinges.
How much of that did Celeste hear? Solana nearly exposed all of her secrets, and her she was, eavesdropping. Funny, because Celeste was just in the same predicament only moments ago. But still, why was she here, in my room, of all places?

Lucknow, Sep 5: In a bid to reinvigorate Congress and end its 27-year exile from power in the politically important Uttar Pradesh in the upcoming Assembly polls, Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi will embark on the 2500 km-long Kisan Yatra from Deoria tomorrow.
"My yatra from Deoria to Delhi starting September 6 is a campaign to secure the rights of the poor, farmers and labourers in government resources," Gandhi's office said in a tweet.
The 'Deoria to Dilli yatra', which will start from Panchlari Kritpura village, will be marked by a door-to-door campaign of collecting 'Kisan Mangpatras' (charters of farmers demands), one-to-one interaction with farmers through Khaat (cot) Sabhas, a concept similar to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Chai par Charcha' during the 2014 Lok Sabha polls, and roadside meetings.
Gandhi will also hold road shows at various places during the yatra. On the first two days, Gandhi will cover Kushinagar, Gorakhpur, Sant Kabirnagar and Basti besides Deoria. The party has made preparations for making the Congress leader's longest yatra in the state a success.
A team of national spokesmen will also be stationed in Lucknow to apprise media of the developments.

Many chief executives want to make their businesses more profitable, but they may not understand how to get started. Their first challenge typically is measuring accurately what they do now. After all, before there can be any improvement, there must be a good baseline of measurements in the business—measurements that can have a real impact on the business.
Most businesses we see have a profit and loss statement of some sort. This basic financial report tells owners whether they are making or losing money for the tax man, but it doesn't tell them if they are making or losing money for themselves.
Among the financial statements that the business's accountant prepares are the balance sheet and cash flow statement. This is usually the starting point for identifying a company's key metrics or measurement systems.
But profit and loss statements are just the starting point. To truly understand your business you must first find the numbers that drive your business. Once you figure out what the drivers are, it's time to start measuring them. We call these drivers key metrics. Understanding those key metrics can often mean the difference between mediocre and outstanding corporate performance.
Key Metrics: A Definition
A key metric is a numeric measurement that can track the profitability of your business. It might be something from your profit and loss statement, balance sheet or cash flow statement. More often than not, it will be a number that you gather outside your normal accounting functions.
For example, most businesses don't know which customers make money for the business and which customers lose money. Ranking customers from most profitable to least profitable is always a useful activity. And, this activity is often more difficult than it looks.
It's easy to find out which account produces the most sales. The problem with this approach is that the accounts producing the most in sales are not always the ones that produce the most profit. In fact, many times, the accounts that produce the most in sales can actually cost your company money.
You might ask yourself: If it's not our regular statements, what should we measure?
The first step in putting together a key metric program is deciding which measurement will have the largest impact for the least amount of effort in your business. This is the low-hanging fruit.
Continuing with the example of evaluating client or customer profitability, you should first figure out which customers made the most money for your company. You would first build a demographic profile of that customer, then find the attributes that all the best customers have in common.
Once you have a profile of your best customers' common attributes, you can build a marketing program that attracts more of these clients. You also now have a profile of the customers who cost the company money and can figure ways to make sure that the sales department stops selling to this type of consumer or business. With the proper information, we can communicate the appropriate information to the right people in our organization.
They can now start to make plans to improve the focus on our key measurements.
Measurements All Companies Should Look For
The following metrics are the most-often useful when it comes to improving company performance:
- Return on assets of the company
- Return on equity for the owners of the company
- Gross profit
- Profitability per customer
- Profitability per product line
- Net- free cash flow
The metrics that you choose will depend on your business's largest opportunity. Installing a key metric program is often an early step that companies take when they are changing the focus of their company from tactical to strategic activities.
Often the company will start a measurement program that shows how well the company is doing. A logical next step is to combine a key metric measurement program with a bonus compensation system that ties key metric improvements to individual and group compensation. Measuring, sharing and compensation that is based on key metrics will improve your company performance.
Having a total key metric program in a company is a strategic activity. It moves the entire company to focus on what's important. Tactical excellence is a given in excellent companies. Strategic excellence is what moves a company from good to extraordinary.
Getting to a different outcome starts with identifying and taking action on your company's best key metrics.

text: UPDATED 12:27 31st January 2014 Arriving at Albion in January 2014, Stephens joined for an undisclosed fee from Championship rivals, Charlton. Originally from Bolton, the midfielder began his career with Bury before joining Oldham in 2008. Subsequent loan spells with Rochdale and Southampton followed as Stephens notched up 73 appearances during his time with Latics, finding the back of the net 12 times. A move to Charlton followed and the midfielder was a key part of their 2011/12 League One winning squad. Making 90 appearances during his spell at The Valley, Stephens also chipped in with 11 goals including a memorable goal-of-the-season contender against Bury in his first year with the club. The midfielder opened his Albion account with a late header at Ewood Park in a 3-3 draw with Blackburn Rovers and also found the net in style during the 1-1 draw with Blackpool at the Amex. However Stephens' 2013/14 season was brought to a premature end through injury and the midfielder didn't feature again for nine months, returning in February 2015 away at Cardiff City. After his return from long-term injury Stephens re-established himself in the first team, making 16 appearances and scoring two goals during the 2014/15 run in, helping the side secure Championship safety.

A 25-year-old Milwaukee man was charged in Milwaukee County Circuit Court with misdemeanor vandalism May 15 after he tried to set fire to a cell mattress at the Wauwatosa Police Department.
According to the Wauwatosa police report:
Anthony Wal was arrested for drunken driving after making a wrong turn in the 300 block of North 68th Street at 2:24 a.m. May 13. He was taken to the hospital to have blood drawn so his blood-alcohol content could be determined. He repeatedly berated officers as well as a nurse at the hospital.
He continued to act disorderly so he was placed in a prisoner cell to sober up. Dispatchers watching Wal on television screens saw him use a lighter to try to burn a mattress at 5:10 a.m. May 13.

Infographic: Season's grEATINGS! Holiday Weight Gain and Your Weight Loss Solutions
posted on
Season's grEATINGS! Holiday Weight Gain and Your Weight Loss Solutions
You love to eat during the holidays... BUT if you eat too much when you celebrate, you might be playing Santa at your next office party.
The average weight an adult gains each holiday season is 2 pounds! What's worse... most of us never lose it.
Will you be Naughty or Nice?
|Pecan Pie (500 calories / slice)
|Pumpkin Pie (230 calories / slice)
|Turkey Leg with skin (148 calories/ serving)
|Honey Ham (67 calories / serving)
|Cheese Tray (110 calories / serving)
|Fruit Tray (80 calories / serving)
|Dinner roll (140 calories / roll)
|Salad w/o dressing (15 cal / serving)
|Macaroni and Cheese (320 calories / serving)
|Green Bean Casserole (110 calories / serving)
|Eggnog (391 calories / 8 oz.)
|Champagne (96 calories / 8 oz.)
|Calorie Total: 1,609
|Calorie Total: 598
If you go Naughty, you'll consume 1,609 calories in one sitting! That'll take 2.5 hours of high-impact aerobics to burn off.
If you go Nice, you'll consume only 598 calories. You're only in for less than 1 hour of high-impact aerobics!
If you pack on 2 pounds each year starting when you're 21, by the time you are 45 years old, you will have gained 48 lbs.
How can you keep the holiday merriment off your hips?
- Eat before you go. It's tempting to go to a holiday party starving, but it means you'll likely stuff yourself. Snack before you go and save yourself from overeating.
- Exercise daily. Get a minimum of 30 mins of activity a day, even if you'd rather hibernate near the fireplace. If you do gorge yourself at the big feast, go to the gym the next morning!
- Eat slowly. Your brain might want to eat all the things, but it also needs 20 minutes to know your stomach is full. Drink a glass of water before you start eating as well - it helps to curb your hunger.
- Portion control. Can't resist the holiday treats? Serve yourself half of a normal portion and save a ton of calories. Then you don't have to be embarrassed that you don't fit into your New Year's Eve dress!
So you couldn't resist the pie
You knew better, but you ate it all anyway and now your waistline is a little out of control. Don't worry - you're not on Santa's Naughty list yet! Start making healthy decisions this holiday season!
- 45 million Americans go on a diet each year, but most are unsuccessful.
If you want a solution that works, Weight Loss Program practices provide options to help you keep it off with:
- Customized Weight Loss Plans
- Meal Replacement Programs
- Calorie Counter Plans
- Ongoing Support to Ensure You Keep it Off
Still not getting the results you want?
Ask your doctors about procedures such as liposuction to take off those extra inches. A tummy tuck or lower body lift can also help you get that flat belly back.
- Liposuction - $2,773
- Tummy Tuck - $5,278
- Lower Body Lift - $7,311

thanks for the update.. looks great.. naf ever send you any detailed pics of the 3point mounting points.. [b pillar exposed mounting spots]
Any Updates?
I went with Schroth 4 point ASMs (Profi II FE). Like I said before the Chronos style seat doesn't leave much room for a B pillar belt. Another style seat probably would. I've decided to go with a 4 point roll bar and mount the harnesses that way. It's going in on the 21st for the bar. The car will still be completely streetable, but the back seat will be off limits to passengers. For the guys wanting the 3 point, don't get discouraged. It's been done and the parts are available from Wesco http://wescoperformance.stores.yahoo.net/seatbelts.html. I'll post up some guidelines and pics on how to install the seats tonight. Then you can decide if this mod is for you. They are pretty simple to install. Getting them lined up is the trick. Putting the old seats back should be fairly easy as well. I'm going to state in my post that this is a track only mod and not for a street driven car. You will disable some airbags which may be unlawful. Stay tuned.
Here are a few hi lights of the Sparco Chronos seat mod for the V1. DISCLAIMER. Let me start off by saying that this mod will disable or remove some of the car's airbags. Some of the original safety features of the car will be changed. This modification is not recommended by me for operating a vehicle on the street. Do so at your own risk. This project is about 80% finished. I have yet to install the 4 point roll bar which will be the anchor point for the harness tail straps. More on that later. The fasten seat belt indicator will not message the DIC with the connectors unplugged. The air bag light is still on until I figure a way to by pass. I started with the following:
2 Sparco Chronos Road seatd (medium)
2 Sparco universal mount kits
2 Sparco universal slider kits
2 Schroth Profi II ASM FE 4 point harnesses.
The seat cushion and the seat back removed made it easier to get the seats in and out. Once it's out I located the fuse panel in front of the rear seat on the passenger side. I looked under the lid at the diagram and removed the air bag fuse. I relocated to a spare position. There is a plastic tool in the box you can use.
I then removed the torx bolts from the two locations in the rear of the seat. This will become my lap belt anchor points so I saved the bolts.
I then unplugged the grey and yellow connector under the front of the seat.
Removing the seat was easy. I tilted the seat forward by pushing the top of the seat back up and forward. I then pulled the seat backwards out of the two hooked slots in the front of the seat. The seat is heavy about 83 lbs.
The rest of the install was a bit of trial and error. Pictured below is the way the frame sits on the floor. The left side of the pic is the front of the seat frame. Notice the hooked slots I was speaking about. Notice the black plastic heat vent for the rear heat in the following pic. In my install the front rail sat exactly at the seam where the carpet is sectioned. I'm 5'10" and that gives me plenty of fore and aft adjust. If you try to move the frame any closer to the firewall, you may have to trim the heat vent. Also you have to open the slit in the carpet to move the cable harness back a bit.
See next post.
With the Sparco seat assembled to the frame I marked the position I liked then removed the seat from the frame, I pulled up the carpet to begin putting in 4 holes. This is where it gets a bit tricky. The floor is not flat. The front bolts needed to be blocked up with a machined spacer or washers. I used washers. Also I had to flatten a small spot or 2 in the floor with a hammer so the spacers sit flat. The rear holes drilled through 2 layers of sheet metal. I used the frame for a drill template as pictured below.
I should have anchored the lap belts next, but I figured that out later and had to pull the frames back out. Below is the shot of how the Schroth lap belt anchors. Using the original Torx seat mounting locations, I bent the inboard lap belt bracket to 90 degrees (it's OK they are made for that). I bent the outboard lap belt to about 15%. These brackets should always be metal to metal anchored. They hold you in the car not the seat. The old seat mounting locations are perfect.
I made sure when I bolted the frames to the floor I used reinforcement plates under the car. i made these from 3 X 2 stainless steel.
I have TEMPORARILY mounted the tail straps to the rear seat belt anchor mounts. I don't like the angle of the shoulder harness so I'm getting a roll bar.
I'll keep you updated when I get it all wrapped up
Last edited by crankedupforit; 04-13-12 at 11:36 AM.
Yeah those mounting points are bad, bad, bad.
Funny that Schroth says a 25 degree angle or less is required. The rear seat anchor mounting is fairly common, but I can't see how anyone can achieve 25 degrees or less with that kind of set up.
The seat back mounting studs are just above the seat belt mounting points ( see pic). They might give you a 25 degree or less tail strap angle.
Last edited by crankedupforit; 04-13-12 at 10:39 AM.
Ooops forgot the lap anchor pics. See edited post.
Have you updated this thread? Sorry if you already did, as I did not use search.
I am really interested in mounting 3 point b pillar seat belts. I want to mount recaros for proper support but do not track enough to warrant going to 5 or 6 pt harnesses. Also I need to keep backseat usable for kids.
Have you seen any pics of b pillar mounting points?
Thanks in advance.
There was a member (NAF) who had a 3 point mounted on some Sparco Milano seats somewhere back and he posted up some pics. I'm still fiddling with a bunch of other stuff right now and haven't got to the 3 point yet, however I'm sure this kit will work out and it doesn't seem too complicated to mount.
Thanks for the link. NAF's pics were taken down.
hey crankedupforit i tried to message you but was unable. i am also in the milwaukee/ chicago area and i would love to see your setup. seats are high on my list of mods. any way i could contact you with questions? I think my low post count is preventing me from pm'ing
Sure. We can connect after the holidays. As you may already know from my posts my car is mostly a track toy but the Sparcos I have installed are great street seats as well. They're comfy and they recline. I don't have a 3 point harness or an airbag warning resistor (yet) but I'm sure you can get the idea after you see my car.


text: Cowboys Draft 2012: Defensive End Tyrone Crawford, A Review From Someone Who Watched His Games http://www.bloggingtheboys.com/2012...-end-tyrone-crawford-review-from-games-played by Brandon Worley on Apr 28, 2012 1:00 AM CDT in Dallas Cowboys 2012 Draft Tyrone Crawford...just how much of a project is he? The Dallas Cowboys addressed a position of need on Friday night, selecting DE Tyrone Crawford from Boise State in the third round. I can already sense that this is going to be another classic case of fans and the media being divided over this pick, especially with not many people even knowing who Crawford was until his name was called. As a college football fan who watched more Boise State games than I'd like to admit, this was one of the few picks that have actually made me pump my fist in celebration. I understand why fans are a bit confused and upset with the pick, especially considering the nature and wording of some of a few of the scouting reports out there. Crawford was just a one-year starter and was a transfer from junior college before his junior season and played in a conference where he didn't face the best OTs that the NCAA has to offer. There's been some talk that he's a "project" and the concern is that he'll take more than a few years to start to actually produce on the field for the Cowboys. With the Cowboys needing productive players now, fans want someone who can have an impact sooner than later. As someone who watched nearly all of Crawford's games last season and watched his performances at the scouting combine and East-West game, I can't help but be pleased and excited about what the potential of Crawford means for the Cowboys.

Online ad targeting system breaks EU privacy rules
A COMPANY planning to target advertising at individual users, based on the content of the web pages they view, is pressing ahead with trials in the UK despite a warning that it is breaching European rules on privacy.
In trials the company, Phorm, is running with a UK internet service provider, it intercepts the addresses of any web page that a user requests, and then goes to that page to discover what it contains. Last week, Amazon and Wikipedia said they would deny Phorm access to their web pages, and others are expected to follow.
The European Commission says that Phorm's system contravenes a European directive safeguarding the confidentiality of citizens' communications. It has given the UK two months to tighten regulations governing the interception of users' private data.
