Topic Suggestion Description
View Topic Suggestion Disposition
Date submitted: October 04, 2012
- Briefly describe a specific question, or set of related questions, about a health care test or treatment that this program should consider.
- The Association for the Advancement of Wound Care (AAWC) Venous Ulcer Guideline is one of multiple algorithms available for venous leg ulcer management. Approximately one third of recommendations within the guidelines are based on less than two randomized controlled trials. In the supplemental report provided, these recommendations have been identified and provide many questions that have yet to be sufficiently answered in the field of venous leg ulcer management.
- Does your question include a comparison of different health care approaches? (If no, your topic will still be considered.)
- yes
- If yes, explain the specific technologies, devices, drugs, or interventions you would like to see compared:
- There are multiple interventions outlined in the attached supplemental document which require further comparison to standard of care. These include the following comparisons with both study arms receiving effective sustained multi-layer compression plus the described interventions:
• bedside sharp debridement versus autolytic debridement effects on venous ulcer healing and pain
• hyperbaric oxygen versus moisture retentive dressings plus compression for the healing of venous ulcers
• laser therapy, negative pressure and multiple topical and systemic pharmaceuticals (described in attached document) versus moisture-retentive dressing effects on venous healing
- What patients or group(s) of patients does your question apply to? (Please include specific details such as age range, gender, coexisting diagnoses, and indications for therapy.)
- The question applies to all patients with venous leg ulcers.
- Are there subgroups of patients that your question might apply to? (For example, an ethnic group, stage or severity of a disease.)
- There are no specific subgroups that limit the application of the question.
- Describe the health-related benefits you are interested in. (For example, improvements in patient symptoms or problems from treatment or diagnosis.)
- We are interested in increasing the rate of venous ulcer healing and patient comfort and thereby decreasing patient morbidity and the associated economic and resource strain that venous ulcer management places on the healthcare system.
- Describe any health-related risks, side effects, or harms that you are concerned about.
- Various risks might be considered for each individual question posed. For example, during further trials for systemic pharmaceutical interventions for venous ulcers, such as Stanozolol and Defibrotide, systemic side effects may also be encountered.
Appropriateness for EHC Program
- Does your question include a health care drug, intervention, device, or technology available (or likely to be available) in the U.S.?
- yes
- Which priority area(s) and population(s) does this topic apply to? (check all that apply)
- EHC Priority Conditions (updated in 2008)
- Functional limitations and disability
- AHRQ Priority Populations
- Elderly
- Individuals with special health care needs, including individuals with disabilities or who need chronic care or end-of-life health care
- Federal Health Care Program
- Medicaid
- Medicare
- Describe why this topic is important.
- This topic is extremely relevant because venous leg ulcers affect up to 1.5% of Americans over 60 years of age and lead to healthcare costs of 2.5$ billion annually. Further elucidating the most effective management strategies and including them in the AAWC Venous Ulcer Guideline will provide better patient care, allow providers and patients to devote energy only to the most effective management plans, decrease patient morbidity and hopefully decrease costs.
- What specifically motivated you to ask this question? (For example, you are developing a clinical guideline, working with a policy with large uncertainty about the appropriate approach, costly intervention, new research you have read, items in the media you may have seen, a clinical practice dilemma you know of, etc.)
- A desire to optimize clinical guidelines and use their evidence to guide research has motivated these questions.
- Does your question represent uncertainty for clinicians and/or policy-makers? (For example, variations in clinical care, controversy in what constitutes appropriate clinical care, or a policy decision.)
- yes
- If yes, please explain:
- The data results of answering the recommended questions may contradict what many wound care providers have been practicing for many years and improve venous ulcer outcomes by encouraging evidence-based care.
Potential Impact
- How will an answer to your research question be used or help inform decisions for you or your group?
- Answers to the multiple questions we pose may directly affect decision making of members of our group. With further research, supporting evidence of long-practiced diagnostic skills, prevention recommendations and interventions may be described. On the other hand, we may find that certain practices that are frequently employed are less efficacious than assumed. For example, autolytic debridement may improve venous ulcer healing and require less local anesthesia than surgical debridement. Results will inform providers of better management strategies.
- Describe the timeframe in which an answer to your question is needed.
- Because we have devised multiple questions, it is likely that years will pass before all of our answers are provided. However, taken individually, most questions that we pose can be answered within a year's time. Examining reimbursement databases may help prioritize which question to ask first, in order to stop spending healthcare dollars on procedures with inferior outcomes.
- Describe any health disparities, inequities, or impact on vulnerable populations your question applies to.
Nominator Information
- Other Information About You: (optional)
- Please choose a description that best describes your role or perspective: (you may select more than one category if appropriate)
- Physician
- Are you making a suggestion as an individual or on behalf of an organization?
- Organization - Association for the Advancement of Wound Care
- Please tell us how you heard about the Effective Health Care Program
- Colleague

Whats up forum
I'm a student just finished my dual diploma networking/Sys admin hopefully starting adv. diploma in netsec next month spent a lot of time on GNS3 and packet tracer recently and wanted to gain a better understanding of the processes of hacking that i'm trying so hard to protect against.
right now i have a basic understanding of Linux as Cisco ios is unix based my android phone is linux based and i have taken linux classes (red hat) mainly basic stuff like useing telnet ftp and apache.
so really only starting to learn linux been doing a lot of python tutorials as i believe have some basic programming skills fundamental to using any pc to it's full power and love tutorials that reference Monty Python so much awesome.
anyway i'm asking if there are any good tutorial on how to utilize backtrack to it's full potential i've watch a bunch of video's on breaking WEP and WPA but that's why reporting and logging is so good just because there is a security hole in a standard doesn't mean you can't see someone trying to exploit it. i'm more so looking at people trying to exploit mainly cisco equipment (will be venturing into Juniper and H3C later this year) from a social engineers stand point as it's easy to see when a person is trying to hack a wireless AP.
also wondering if there is a way of running backtrack within network simulation environment or if i should be booking some time in my schools networking rooms to test this (will be doing anyway but if i can run it in simulation it will make it easy to prioritize my time).
also love to find out if there are any exploits for HP's Tipping point as my dad works for HP and is bragging about all these great features and i would love to get my hands on some exploits to rub in his face that it's not the best thing ever ever.
if anyone could help or point me in the right direction it would be great as i love what this software is designed for as it will keep me in a job for years to come.
Capitalisation is important. It's the difference between "Helping your brother Jack off a horse" and "Helping your brother jack off a horse".

Photography Critique :: Episode 8
We start out this critique by answering some questions from emails and comments here on the blog concerning "general photography" and "niched photography." One thing I forgot to say during this recording concerning narrowing your vision with photography…
Remember there is a massive influx of photographers coming into the industry right now and many of them are generalists. The more you can narrowly define who you are as a photographer not only helps you grow as a photographer, helps you work your marketing mojo toward the right client, but it helps you stand out from the crowd of folks armed with a digital camera.
Keep these questions rolling! These are some great subjects for us to discuss. If you want to be added to the critique que then send your link to critique @ zacKarias [dot] com.
I'll check in with you when I get to the other side of the planet!
Cheers, Zack
Great advice… shoot every assignment as though it's a high end editorial assignment.
Tech note :: The audio is a bit too quiet on this one. I upgraded to an external mic and I had the recording level set too low. I'll have that fixed for the next episode.
Zack- you are just amazing. I don't know if you got my email but I did send one. I would so love to have some type of help to hone my skills and learn what direction to go next. I am so eager to do but am currently standing at the crossroads… I hope the website isn't a deterrent since I don't have a "real" one yet–that's just because I can't seem to find JUST the right one!
Hope you have a great trip!
Hi Zack, can we download your Photo critique? I really enjoy your comments and It's helping me reorganize but going back to the site and download the video for just a quick review I want to see, here in Canada we don't have unlimited download so it's pretty much costing me money to look back again If it's not possible, no big deal it's so helpful, the extra box worth it!
Terrific episode Zack – more information packed in there than I can even remember! Keep it up, it's very helpful. And good luck in Dubai!
Thank You Zack.
Each time I see one of your vids I feel I am in class again.
I absorb as much info & knowledge as I can, keep it up.
It would be great if you could podcast this so I could have them on my iPhone anytime I want to help me critique my work.
هناك أرأى لك.
Hi Zack, I was wondering do you take on interns? I attend gwinnett techs commercial photo program and we have a quarter where we have to do an internship local or abroad.
Ditto on the podcast. I have been wanting to check out the critiques but my time is such that I have to process images when in front to the computer. I do have time however to listen and view podcasts on my iphone. Please publish your videos as a podcast.
Another fabulous, fabulous job, Zack. If Andy is reading this, I wanted to point out that it looks like you need to clean your sensor judging from the large glob under the third light on the last picture reviewed. Wonderful job, and I agree with Zack that once you get your color and focus issues sorted out, you will be a force to be reckoned with.
Travel safe.
Hi Zack,
There is a lot of excitement that your coming to the other side of the planet. Your blog has been a consistent source of inspiration and knowledge.
Have a safe journey and see you at GPP!
Keep up these late night recordings, Zack. Thanks for taking the time and efforts to really understand how to present yourself to the WWW.
You're great. I love these critiques, they are so very useful.
Excellent post. A nice unexpected Friday gift.
Am I the only dummy that tries to scroll down the page in the video?
Multiple times. Wow, I have problems.
I'm wondering if the focus problem in many of andy's photos is caused by not sharpening them when they're scaled down. That seems to make a huge difference in my images.
Thank you for doing this. It has been so helpful. Have fun in Dubai!
"chernobyl baby" thats a good one
The advice on the tones going from light to dark in your b&w section was great.
As well as the shoot what you have to and publish what you want to sell advice.
Thanks again!
Just watched all of the critiques in one sitting. (read "eys are crossed". Can't begin to convey how much I have learned today. Hope you keep this up for a while.
Oh, lest I forget, I shared the video you made for Scott Kelby with my photographer friends. We can all relate.
Thanks again and keep up the great work in helping to educate those of us that never want to stop learning.
You SHOULD go to Norway! The vikings are very friendly, and if you come in the summer you're guaranteed 20+ hours of daylight 😀
Thanks for all these talks/critiques I have learned so much from just watching and listening!
I plan to redo my whole site and portfolio in the summer when I get some time.
Thanks so much Za!
thanks for the critique zack! it was good to see you the other day and i'm working already on the things you've pointed out. I totally agree with you on the actions/consistency.
@ Robyn – Good eye! I just had it cleaned. Thanks!
just a thought for your cyc gallery Zach, how about arranging it in order from the least movement/action to the most?
Good to see Meg back on the show .. she's needed to let you know when the point is well and truly made (see Episode 7 .-) Great team work. Great Critique once again!
Hi Zack, I've been following your blog for a while now, particularly enjoying the critique series.
It struck me that a potential order for your cyc gallery would have it so that the subject position within the frame moved from left to right as you moved through the gallery, but maybe that's too obvious and you've already dismissed it. Either way keep up the great work. Cheers.
This is the first photo critique I have watched and I really liked it. I'm going to have to watch them all now, its giving me great points to go through my pictures and look at.
In reference to the crazy Norwegian naked sculptures (because I know you are losing sleep over it). They are from Viegeland Park in Oslo, the big column of people is called the Monolith and it represents peoples' desire to be together and be more spiritual, which is why it is towering toward the heavens.
Again, great job on the critiques, I will continue watching them.
Is running out of time for Andre kinda like running out of time for Matt Damon on Jimmy Kimmel? hahaha. cause i'm finding it hilarious.
Thanks to both of you for putting in those extra hours providing comments on how to improve ones shooting, website and portfolio. I like to believe that I'm actually able to take some of it to heart, and from there put it into action.
I hardly believe though that I'm one of only 3 Norwegians following your blog and episodes 😉
Thanks again!
LOL at the "unfortunate texture"! sorry but even your example of a bad portfolio was better than most out there…including mine of course but hey! I had separated black and white from colour already…
I am also voting for these to be a podcast I can subscribe to on i-tunes; I mean have pity on those of us on slower connections (high speed satellite island bound girls), and spare us from having to wait all day for the Zack and Meghan brilliance to load…
cheers, m
On "narrow your focus" vs. "paying your bills": What's your opinion on building two websites? Eg. one for the weddings-need-to-get-my-bills-paid pics, and one for the fine art/editorial stuff? Pro: It helps you market in the area that pays your bills. Con: Anyone who googles your name finds both sites and might get confused.
For your Cyc portfolio – how about trying a flow from left to right (composition wise). So you would start off with your images where your subject is far left and then end up with the guy in the far right corner. Might make it look almost like an animation.
Another great critique. Each one gives me ideas for my site – I just have to find the time to put things into practice.
A trick for those using safari and Quicktime.
To download the video, click Window>Activity. Start the video. The look at relevant page in activity. Look in the list of files for an FLV. e.g. http://a14.video2.blip.tv/1420000928436/Zackarias-crit08_web128.flv
Double click on this link to download it.
Look for Perian and install it, then you'll be able to watch the movie in Quicktime.
You´re videos are great!
Im sure you have more than 3 followers from Norway. Please come here, and make up your own mind for free. If you do, I can provide free acomodations.
Hey Zeee,
I just started to laugh when you mentioned those 2 photogs that have the same style. I asked the latter one how she developed her style? she replied," I attended one of her workshops"..
I think she was trying to sell me the workshop too eh?
Anyway, keep up the great work.
Don't loose that sense of humour that i connect with every time i hear you.
Keep it real……..
My Brightest Diamond, Over the Rhine, great musical taste. These videos are so helpful to so many aspiring photographers out there.
thank you for your time.
Great video/info Zach I dig it. It answered some important questons for me about the direction I want to take my portfolio.
Now we are up to 3 blog readers from norway!!! Give it up for Norway.
Something you touched on but that does speak volumes as to what you're speaking about is the financial aspect.
I just got into photography on November of '08. In the past 6 months, I've probably spent over $6,000 in equipment. Starting off with a Canon Rebel XSi, battery grip and a nice portrait and macro lens.
I wanted to try landscape, so I picked up a Manfrotto tripod and a quality wide-angle lens. Then it was Christmas time and I had family coming over (I have very attractive nieces), so I build my own set of hot lamps (Home Depot work lights with color balanced CFL's) and bought some backdrops to do portraits. I wanted a little extra lighting help, so I dropped $400 or so on a 580EX II flash.
Then I had an interest in shooting sports, so I dropped $1500 on a 70-200mm f/2.8 USM IS lens, but my XSi was only shooting at 3fps. So I dropped another $1300 on a Canon 50D and $200 on the battery grip and another $200 on CF cards since my XSi used SD's, oh, and I needed the $115 Lowepro Slingshot AW to store my gear in… now that things were so heavy, my little low-end Manfrotto tripod wouldn't hold things up, so I bought a Manfrotto 055XPROB with a 488RC0 ball head. And just in case I wasn't as close as I'd like $300 on a 1.4x teleconverter.
Oh, and I did my first official model shoot — dropped a nice chunk of change on a set of three studio strobes, stands, umbrellas and softboxes… I won't say how much. ;/
My sister has kindly ask that I shoot her wedding, so I "need" to pick up a flash bracket and sync cable — maybe another strobe, because I fear what the TSA will do to my lights.
Yeah, so… specializing will most certainly help out with keeping your finances in check and your wife from divorcing you.
Love your stuff. 😉
Blogreader from Norway number 4!
Anywho, I've been watching the critiques almost all day and it's awesome.
Put's alot of things in my head regarding my own setup on my soon to come website -and photographing in general.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers from Norway.
Just discovered the critiques by chance…and so glad I did! As one of those beginning photogs…THANK YOU! In your critique of others, you have helped me to confirm my aspirations…and critiqued MY work too without even looking at it! Awesome, awesome, awesome…I have learned so much.
39th min "…or a hat…"
…best quote ever.
Keep it candid. Keep it real.
No, I'm not from the hood.
I'm from Canada. Lol!
Just a question….if a new photographer doesn't try to shoot all types…how is he going to know which type he is actually good at. I've seen your critique on some websites and you actually told them which type of photography genres to go into….so if they had not try all those…they would not have gotten those invaluable advice…just my 2 cents.
Hi Zack,
I think the sports photographer you were mentioning is Sol Neelman. He gave a talk at Geekfest in St. Pete, Fl a short while after you gave a one-light pres for photojournalists.

Loss of power and AFCI tripping
I have a rather unique problem with two circuits in my home. Let me start by stating that the electrical contractor who wired my home is no longer in business. About two months ago I lost power to my family room while I was home. Assuming the breaker tripped I went out to the garage to reset the breaker. When resetting the breaker didn't work I removed the pannel cover and discovered that there was no circuit wired to the breaker for the family room. Further inspection revealed that the breaker above it (AFCI) for the downstairs bedroom next to the family room had two wires connected to it, one black and one red both from the same Romex. I was able to determine that the black was for the bedroom and the red at that time didn't seem to go to anything. When connected to the family room breaker I still had no power. I made the assumption that I might have an open to that circuit somewhere. After troubleshooting for several days I decided to run extension cords to power this room until I could spend more time on it. Today I connected the red wire to the family room breaker again and energized it. Much to my surprise the circuit was now working for that room. The downside is that when I turned on the lights to the family room the AFCI tripped for the bedroom. I unpluged everything from both rooms and removed the hot wires for both of these circuits at the pannel to see if there was a short to neutral or eachother. I measured opens in every case. As long as I have no load in the family room I can energize both circuits. As soon as a load of any kind occurs in the family room the AFCI for the bedroom trips. The Bedroom has been working fine through all of this so I have not susspected anything in that circuit. What I don't understand is how the two circuits are tied together. That may be the hint to why I am having problems. To the best of my knowledge they should be completely independent. I have heard of other people complaining about AFCI's tripping from loads in surounding circuits I just have not found an answer as to why this is happening. I suppose it is possible the AFCI is bad but then why doesn't it trip when I turn on the light switch on that circuit. Also for a very long time both rooms were working off of the same breaker, the AFCI. I would appreciate any advise anyone has. I have to figure this out before the wife is ready to put up the Christmas tree or I'll be hearing about it. :)
In your panel box, if you follow the black and red wire back, do they come from the same cable? If so, that means they are sharing a neutral.
It sounds like those 2 circuits were originally wired up as a Multi-Wire-Branch-Circuit (MWBC). Probably the electrician did that, not thinking he had to use an AFCI breaker until it was time for final inspection.
You can not share a neutral on a single-pole AFCI breaker. Attempting to do so will cause the breaker to trip as soon as any load is applied, as you have discovered.
About the only easy remedy for you at this point is to connect both the black and red leads together on the same AFCI breaker. If and when a 2-pole common-trip AFCI breaker becomes available, then you will be able to split those circuits back up.
A not-so-easy remedy would be to back-feed the other room with a new home-run circuit from the panel to one of the outlets. You would have to find the point where the multi-wire circuit is split up, and disconnect the neutral connection for the red wired circuit there.
Missed it, I see in your post that the red and black come from the same cable. I looks like they tried to wire this as a MWBC but with the AFCI it didn't work so they stuck both wires into the AFCI. Since it has worked, I'd say you have a bad connection somewhere in the circuit. You will have to open up each outlet box, receptacles and lamps, and look for a bad connection which could be a loose wire nut or even some backstabed outlets. It's hard to say what you will find.
To straighten this out and fix the wiring error will take some time. You don't have a separate neutral for the family room.
Thank you these have both been great responses. I can't believe this passed inspection when the home was built 7 years ago. That explains why I found both circuits wired to the AFCI. When the orriginal power failure occured both were wired to the same breaker and the family room lost power but the bedroom did not. It's been a couple months now and the family room circuit appears to be working. I would susspect that there is an intermitant open somewhere in the circuit. My fear is that this electrician put a staple or nail through the romex somwhere in one of my walls and it is just now begining to cause problems. I was not aware you could not share a ground with the AFCI breaker so that has saved me a lot of troubleshooting steps. I am going to wire them both to the AFCI and wait to see what happens here down the road.
Well that didn't take long. I moved the red wire back to the AFCI and energized both circuits. Everything worked for about 1 minute and then I lost power to the family room. The bedroom still has power. When I had moved the red wire to the family room breaker by itself it worked for quite a while with no problems except for the fact that it was tripping the AFCI on the bedroom circuit. I really don't know what to do now. I can't imagine I have a bad light switch or recepticle. Any suggestions?
I posted what to do in reply #5.
The cable in your panel that has the red black and white wire has to go to some box some where. When you find it, you will see two branches. The black wire and white wire will go one way and the red wire and white wire will go a different way. The white wires will be connected most likely with a wire nut. This is where the two circuits separate.
I had already previously followed the romex from the pannel to the attic. It runs down the wall to our upstairs bedroom. From there I can only assume it continues to the downstairs bedroom directly below. Is it likely that it is fed into a recepticle box or switch first? Is it also possible the split is in a junction box somwhere hidden behind a wall or ceiling? I haven't had any luck finding where it splits to see if power is getting at least to that point. I have pulled out every recepticle and switch. It's so strange that the circuit just opens up. Is it possible for a recepticle to become intermitant and open up? My other thought is that there is a bad wire nut connection somwhere. Thanks for the help.
It is very possible that the cable ends up in a ceiling box and splits from there. Open every box that you know is on either of the circuits.
Well I have checked every box with a receptical, switch or fixture. I found no loose connections and saw no indication of a split. I don't know where the cable feeds into the circuit. I lose physical sight of it once it drops from the attic and into the wall. My guess is that it comes into the bedroom and then branches off to the family room from a box behind a wall. Is there anything I can use to try and trace this without tearing out my drywall? The part that doesn't make any sense is that it worked today after sitting for weeks and then just opened again. It seems to me a loose connection would be more random and subject to some sort of physical change in its condition. I'm a EE and have anylized a lot of problem circuits. I've just never had to troubleshoot anything hiding behind walls! This is by far one of the strangest things I've encountered. I may just have to call an electrician if I cant start making some progress.
Do you have smoke detectors that are AC powered and interconnected? Don't overlook those boxes. Did you check all the closets too? I would hope there isn't a hidden box, code violation, but you could have a box with a blank cover that has been painted or sprayed and not very visible.
Because it looks like the original intent was to have the bedrooms on the AFCI and the dining on the standard breaker, one would think the junction would be close to one of those rooms. How many bedrooms and how many levels is the house? Are there any other AFCI's in the panel?
We have 4 bedrooms total in the house and all are AFCI protected. The downstairs bedroom is right next to the family room and both share the same Romex cable and a neutral which explains why both rooms are wired to the AFCI. I have a breaker for the family room but it is not being used. I know of one hiden box for sure in the ceiling of our down stairs bathroom. The only reason I know this is because we took a fair amount of pictures during the construction of our home. Unfortuneately I was not intentionaly taking pictures of the electric and plumbing something I will deffinitely do if we build again. I can see some of the roughed in electric though. There is a blue junction box on one of the studs in the ceiling of the downstairs bathroom which is right next to the bedroom. Yes I have smokes wired in to the AC but they are all on the same breaker. I'll check those boxes as well. I just checked the closet and their doesn't seem to be any boxes painted over. Thanks for all of the great info. I really can't wait to find out what this is.
You could try a breaker finder the ones that have the little plug in dongle and beeper work very well for tracing wires and you can get em for around $25. Also you might be missing something since all junction boxes should be accessible either from the attic or from the house but it could also be a sleazy electrician. Heck it could be two wires splice without a box, I've seen worse. Either way with your problems you should be tracing out as much of your homes electrical as possible since the problem you see might be the tip of the iceberg.

As the reality of difficulties ahead in the latest Eurozone deal is sinking in, investors caught their breath today. The markets were mostly flat.
Back in August, when the stock market seemed to be spiraling toward oblivion, some market watchers kept worrying about October: that cruel month for share prices; the month that took down western civilization in 1929 and scared it in 1987.
But here we are, with just one trading day left in October, it's been the best one for the S&P since 1974 (not to tempt fate or anything).
Ted Weisberg, was at the New York Stock Exchange in that October of 1974. He's still there, a President of Seaport Securities.
Weisberg says in the midst of the 1973 through 1975 recession, staggering inflation and monetary turmoil, there was a surprise October rally. But, Weisberg warns to not get too excited just yet but this October's rally. After the one in 1974, the DOW didn't cross 1,000 for another 12 years.
On a personal note, Weisberg says that October back in 1974 was memorable. That was when, as a 34-year-old, he ponied up $75,000 to buy a seat on the New York Stock Exchange, something that would have cost him $500,000 in 1968.
As for the current markets, Weisberg says on balance they were putting on a pretty good performance today, but he's cautious. Weisberg says Europe's problems are not behind us. And, he says the U.S. is still grappling with its own soft under belly: high unemployment, a weak housing market, and an unclear path ahead for the Congressional Super Committee. It's an oldie but a goody: time will tell.
Also on the show today, a "Saab" story of sorts. It looks like the road ahead for Swedish car manufacturer Saab might just be paved by two Chinese auto companies, Pang Da Automobile Trade Co. and Zhejiang Youngman Lotus Automobile Co., with a deal $141-million deal that could mean a comeback for the 60-year-old brand. News that SAAB could get some air back in its tires, and that investors still have eyes on Europe, has the Marketplace Daily Pulse beating faster today.

On the other hand, having got so close to the MLS Cup final, Kreis said, "I wasn't ready to be done yet. I hope we go into the offseason feeling very good about a lot things, but I hope we go into the offseason a little bit angry about the fact we probably could've and should've gotten a little further."
His praise for New York was more than qualified. Kreis said that this year he had seen his opponent play as they did on Saturday "on plenty of occasions, so I think they probably feel pretty comfortable doing that, dropping off and playing a negative match as they did in the second half." It was "too bad we couldn't punish them for it," he added.
Defender Nat Borchers also talked about New York's lack of style. "That's the kind of soccer they play," he said. "They're not going to play attractive soccer. We knew that coming into this game. We knew it wasn't going to be a game where they came out and attacked us it was going to be a game where they pumped balls forward. They were trying to get a cheap goal and that's what they got."

Lebanons Ministry of Telecommunications announced yesterday that the countrys number of cellular subscribers has jumped by around 30% to three million since the end of 2009, driven by network capacity expansion, reduced rates and the introduction of new packages by the markets two state-owned cellcos. TeleGeographys GlobalComms Database says that Lebanon had 2.93 million wireless subscribers at 31 March 2011, with 54% of users served by MTC Touch Lebanon, managed by Zain Group, and the other 46% using Alfa, under the management of Orascom Telecom. The total was up 26% on end-2009s figure of 2.38 million, while cellular penetration is approaching 75%.
In its announcement, reported by local newspaper The Daily Star, the ministry also stated the intention to further reduce cellular tariffs by between 25% and 50% depending on the existing package, although it did not confirm whether the changes would include both pre- and post-paid tariffs. The last major reduction in prices two years ago led to an upswing in the user take-up rate, largely in the pre-paid segment.

Caroline Flack is glad that Rylan Clark is still on The X Factor, because she thinks the series, both on and off air, would be worse without him.
Gary Barlow may have his problems with the former model's singing, but he admitted recently that it's Rylan that keeps the morale up backstage and apparently he is one of the most popular contestants from this year's bunch.
Caroline agreed and reiterated his comments yesterday, and she praised Clark saying:
"The great thing about Rylan is that people are really warming to him and I'm so pleased because he is so nice."
The Xtra Factor presenter added:
"He is such a pleasure to be around and he is the backbone of the show, he keeps everyone together. People are really enjoying his performances and looking forward to what he's going to do."
Rylan kicked off on Saturday's show, telling Gary Barlow that most stars who put on staged performances like he does can't sing live at the same time and he even called the Take That star fat…in so many words.
Gaz took the banter well and Caroline insisted that it was all in jest, telling Phil and Holly on This Morning:
"He is lucky that Gary took it so well but he did mean it as a joke and I really like the banter between those two, because you know it's not serious."
She continued:
"It's live, it's spontaneous, this kind of thing isn't rehearsed but I'm sure they go on there ready to go at each other."
Rylan was in tears, actually he was sobbing on The Xtra Factor on Sunday night when Ella Henderson was eliminated.
He admitted that he felt 'guilty' that he survived while she and James Arthur sang against each other for survival and he insisted that his best pal should never have been in that position.
Clark took to Twitter after the show and revealed that he was still devastated to have lost the last girl in the competition. He tweeted:
"Tonight I've lost my little sister @ella_henderson . Her and @JamesArthur23 should not have been there. They are my 1st and 2nd. X"
However, it's onwards and upwards and now Rylan goes on to perform on this weekend's Abba / Motwon themed quarter final, where he will sing two songs on Saturday's show.
Do you think he can survive again? Are you a Rylan fan? Tell us why below….

Budget Cut Fight
New York, NY —
One of the three dissident senators who has challenged Queens Senator Malcolm Smith's move to become Democratic majority leader, says that he'll now challenge Governor Paterson's plans for budget cuts. Bronx State Senator Ruben Diaz Senior says he represents the poorest district in the senate, and it would bear an unfair impact of those cuts.
DIAZ: The governor refused to tax the rich, but he wants to cut the services of the poor. We have always been criticizing the Republicans for doing exactly that.
This week, State Senator Diaz has been sending flyers to his constituents saying he'll oppose the cuts along with any attempt to legalize gay marriage. Along with Bronx Senator-elect Pedro Espada and Brooklyn Senator Carl Kruger - Diaz has challenged Smith's ascendency to the top post. Diaz would not comment on whether he intends to cast his vote for Smith next week when the Democratic majority in the Senate decides who will be majority leader.

The days of circling ads in the Sunday newspaper and printing your résumé on fancy stationery may be long past, but many IT professionals still cling to other outdated job-seeking habits that can undermine their efforts. In a competitive job market, fine-tuning your approach to meet present conditions can mean the difference between frustration and success.
Here are some tactics to use in today's job search:
Target each employer. In any hiring environment, a generic résumé won't hold a hiring manager's attention. Blanketing hundreds of employers with an all-purpose résumé addressed "To whom it may concern" isn't likely to result in a new position. It's important to customize all of your application materials - not just the cover letter - for each job opening. That means researching the appropriate contact so you can address the hiring manager by name, as well as detailing how your skills and experience can meet the employer's specific needs.
Loosen up - a little. Formal language such as "Enclosed please find my résumé in response to your job notice ..." can come across as stilted. More natural, direct prose provides a better sense of your personality. (That said, don't toss around slang, technical or otherwise.) Likewise, during an interview, avoid prefabricated responses such as the classic " My biggest weakness is that I work too hard" - a sure way to put an interviewer to sleep and reveals a lack of self-awareness. An authentic answer is much more likely to make a lasting impression.
Fill employment gaps. It's not unusual to have a break in your work history, given today's poor labor market. So you don't have to go to extreme lengths to hide periods of unemployment. For example, forgoing the classic chronological résumé in favor of a functional one - in which your skills are listed at the top of the document and your work history is truncated or omitted entirely - could raise red flags by making it seem like you have something to hide. Instead, use your résumé and cover letter to demonstrate that you've remained professionally engaged while searching for a new position. List volunteer or consulting work you've taken on, as well as any professional development courses you've completed.
Streamline your story. Hiring managers have little time to devote to your résumé. Cut irrelevant information, such as job accomplishments from decades past or the clubs you belonged to in college (unless you're a recent graduate). Instead, emphasize - and quantify - how you've contributed to bottom-line success for previous employers, and how that experience might apply to the prospective employer's needs.
Tailor your references. Like your résumé and cover letter, your reference list should be adjusted for each opportunity. When providing references to an employer, choose contacts who can speak most effectively about the skills relevant to the position, not those who have the most impressive job titles. If you're applying for a management position, be sure to include someone you supervised in a previous job. Likewise, if a particular technical skill is essential to the position, a reference who can directly attest to that ability can be invaluable.
Network constantly. Most positions are still filled through word of mouth, often before an opening is even posted. Take full advantage of online resources such as LinkedIn to meet new contacts. But don't overlook face-to-face conversations. Ironically, because online networking has become so easy, in-person networking has become more meaningful than ever. Take your connections out for coffee or lunch to keep in touch, talk about your search and learn how you can help them. When looking to introduce yourself to someone, find out whether anyone in your network can provide an introduction on your behalf, and be sure to thank that person for his or her efforts.
Job search fundamentals such as the importance of projecting confidence in all your interactions with a potential employer haven't changed much. But many of the finer points have evolved. By keeping your approach up to date, you not only demonstrate to potential employers that you're fully engaged in current IT realities but also increase your chances of landing the position you seek.

As we released THE HUNTING PARTY, I spoke on various occasions about the inspiration of the album. Part of the answer is that the album is a response to a surplus of danceable, safe, indie-pop music that's taken over "rock". A year ago, we knew the indie-pop thing was a style that our band is capable of making. But we were not interested in pursuing it. Why? Because there is a LOT of it out there. It seemed far more exciting for us to go against the grain.
In interviews like this one and this one I plainly explained that, although I enjoy listening to bands like Haim, CHVRCHES, Vampire Weekend, Arcade Fire, M83, and Phoenix, I felt like the genre as a whole was suffering from a surplus of bands in that vein–bands that, in many cases, came after the ones I mentioned. And I made it abundantly clear that my comment was not a dig:
But in spite of all that, in an interview recently, the band CHVRCHES was asked to respond to the comment…kinda. They were asked to respond to a version of the comment that was not consistent with what I actually said. Now, to be clear, it's a journalist's tendency (if not their main objective) to sensationalize this kind of commentary, and make a fight where there is none. Let's not let them have that.
I learned a new term this year: "click bait." Click bait is when someone titles a piece in a sensationalized way in order to get more clicks. It's what I did with the title of this post.
There's a lot I could pick apart about the CHVRCHES interview; after all, the group's singer criticized me for "saying something that would become a tagline"…by saying something that became a tagline. (Also notable: the journalist printed the title "pointless dick" but the actual words were "pointless dig"). But really, my criticism is not with them or any of those bands. I said their names because I was telling the story of how our album began: not because I hate that style music, but because I hate the volume of it. In contrast, one way of looking at it is: the bands I named are the only ones I singled out as being on my "awesome" list (albeit, there are others who are awesome, and there are yet others who are "not awesome", but that's neither here nor there).
Lazy journalists will simplify words and start conflicts they don't have to fight in. Cowardly bloggers will take sides based on what other blogs think is cool. In contrast, THE HUNTING PARTY is a statement about who we are and what inspires us right now. It's a stab out into an unknown. Our fight is with conformity, stagnation, inspiration, and even our own band's complex history. And a big thank you goes out to CHVRCHES and all the bands whose names I've mentioned, for helping us find direction with this album. Because sometimes, knowing where you don't want to go is all the direction you need.

The material properties of the soft tissues of the knee are non-linear, anisotropic, and viscoelastic. These tissue structures also exhibit mechanical heterogeneity. The use of computational tools to examine knee biomechanics in healthy and diseased states, such as in osteoarthritic knees or anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficient knees, is becoming widely popular. However many computational models of the knee contain constitutive descriptions of the soft tissues that neglect one or more and sometimes all of these characteristics. The majority of computational efforts to date have focused on building accurate geometrical models and computationally efficient schemes, and advances in these areas have been remarkable. What has been lacking is sufficient attention to the complex biomechanics of the materials within those computational tools because of both the lack of adequate experimental data and the expertise to develop mathematical material models that are relevant for soft tissue. This talk will focus on two important soft tissues in the knee, the ACL and the tibial and femoral surface cartilages. The ACL is particularly challenging to experimentally characterize; in its anatomically relevant state, it is twisted and partially extended regardless of knee flexion angle. The ACL consists of two bundles that are not simultaneously unloaded under any configuration, and a novel approach to accurately characterize each bundle is described. Our experimental methods involve mechanically testing in uniaxial loading as well as anatomical positions using digital image correlation analysis to accurately describe the strain fields arising from mechanical heterogeneity in each experimental condition. We demonstrate that the anterior bundle of the ACL is functionally graded whereas the posterior bundle is mechanically homogeneous. We have developed a non-linear viscoelastic mathematical model of the ACL and implemented it into a finite element framework for computational analysis of the ACL during physiologically relevant loading conditions. In our computational environment we can transition from the uniaxial loading state to the anatomically correct loading state and predict the strain fields in the ACL during an anterior tibial translation. This motion is relevant to ACL injury as the ACL tears when the tibia anteriorly translates excessively relative to the femur. Our computational model is able to predict the location of ACL tears in the proximal third of the tissue. We also have measured the non-linear mechanical response of tibial and femoral cartilage of healthy female cadaveric specimens at a physiological strain rate as a function of position and found a persistent spatial dependency to both mechanics and thickness to exist. Our mechanical strain data demonstrate that non-linear elasticity dominates the response of cartilage at 1/sec, a strain rate consistent with a normal walking gait. Therefore, we neglected viscous effects at this strain rate and examined the ability of an anisotropic, non-linear elastic mathematical model to capture the response of cartilage throughout the tibial and femoral surfaces. We developed a modified form of an existing mathematical model and demonstrated that it was capable of describing the entire range of cartilage response with one adjustable parameter, the initial modulus. We implemented these mechanically graded tibial and femoral cartilage tissue models, along with the spatially varying thicknesses, into a finite element model of the human knee using the anisotropic, non-linear elastic mathematical model with a spatially varying initial modulus parameter. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of non-linearity and inhomogeneity of cartilage properties on the ability to predict loading patterns, and therefore, disease and injury mechanisms in normal ACL-deficient and ACL-repaired knees. Our results indicate that in silico models that assume linear, homogeneous constitutive responses and uniform cartilage thickness may lead to inaccurate conclusions regarding the roles of geometric factors implicated in knee injuries and osteoarthritis. Moreover, our implementation of mechanical and physical heterogeneity and non-linearity involves little additional computational penalty as the non-linear, anisotropic cartilage model contains only one spatially varying parameter. It is clear that more biomechanically and physiologically relevant soft tissue models are required to advance our understanding of the mechanisms affecting knee injuries and disease states; the challenge is to retain tractability within the numerical framework. Our approach is attractive in that it offers a marked improvement in material model accuracy without an enormous computational penalty.

Fri Ext. Hours - Open 10-9
June 8-September 8, 2013
With dozens of works in a range of media including painting, photography, video and sculpture Rashid Johnson: Message to Our Folks surveys the first 14 years of the Chicago-born artist's career. The exhibition explores the artist's own personal and cultural history, while humorously sharing a metaphysical journey as he contemplates the creation of the universe, art and the self.
In many of Johnson's pieces, he references musicians and cultural icons including jazz legend Miles Davis, rap group Public Enemy and experimental artist Sun Ra, writings by Civil Rights activist W. E. B. Du Bois, and symbols of the African-American intellectual fraternity Sigma Pi Phi as a method to understand his own role as an artist. By bringing attention to individuality, Johnson attempts to deconstruct false notions of a monolithic Black American identity. The title "Message to Our Folks" is borrowed from an Art Ensemble of Chicago album from 1969.
Through a process he named "hijacking the domestic," Johnson transforms everyday objects from his childhood such as books, shea butter, black soap, CB radios, record albums and food into works that challenge thinking about the Black American experience. With a practice grounded in modern and contemporary art, Johnson's work gives voice to an Afro-futurist narrative that combines history, science fiction, magical realism and non-Western theories on the origins of the universe to explore the shifting nature of identity and the individual's role in that shift.
Organization & Support
Rashid Johnson: Message to Our Folks is organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago.

Memories Of Heatherlea
I too have very fond memories of Heatherlea. I remember well the dinner gong and the daily walk to the swings where I seemed to spend hours. Every day seemed to be sunny, which of course it probably wasn't. The treat of the week was the riding lesson with Dorothy in charge. My dad and I would spend happy times going for our daily walk, which usually ended up going to 'Peckriding'. I remember too the weekly dances with Tom and Margaret Shield waltzing round the floor. Alas those days are long gone now, as has Heatherlea itself, but it's good to remember Audrey Soulsby (Nee Lithgo)

OOooooooooo the almighty BKBT rules them all.
Great job!
Forgive my ignorance - what's Open Seasons Jango?
Jango Fett.
OHHH! Gotcha! Thanks!
Looks great! I like that color scheme.
Nice bucket.
Love the weathering on the silver parts .... 'real' looking.
Hm... if the rest of it turns out as well as the helmet did, you might be able to get into the 501st with it. Be closer to a custom than anyone else in there (except Ray, if he goes for it. =])
that is bad *** nah the 501st wont let comic book characters in i tried to join with a kir kanos costume and they rejected me they want people that the average joe will recognize. but they are debating letting custom mandos and clones join. who knows when that will happen
Clones are accectable in the 501st.
And from what I understand:
The Legion has the rule of three - meaning there has to be three sources of that character before it even consider to be approved. For example it should be in a comic, shown as an action figure and on a video game.
Make sense? Don't quote me on that. The best bet is to always ask the Legion Membership Officer (LMO), Thomas Spanos (who by the way only has EU Characters).
Thomas' 501st profile:
Very nice helmet! You did a really good job
Thank you for the nice words everyone.
As far as getting it 501st approved I am going to try. I have talked to Thomas a few times about it, and have gotten some favoriable comments. So when I get it done I will have to hit him up again and see what can be done. Hopefully I wont have to make any major changes.
If the 501st did let EU characters "in" their might be a problem at public charity events of the uninformed going a round wondering "ok now which movie are you from" and the 'Tumer having to constently repaeting themselves....just a thought
I personally think it would open the options of picking a character in joining a organzation that does good deeds but that is a rant for another thread
Awesome helmet!
Did you build the bucket from scratch or buy one? If you bought one- who from?
That's a great lookin' bucket though.
And as for the 501st, I'm pretty sure they don't except Mandalorians outside the Fetts. I wrote a post in the forums and got a lot of answers. There is a possibility that if you join as a Stormtrooper (or whatever) you can go in a different costume (like a Mandalorian) to an event as long as it's OK with the event organizer or or garrison commander. I think.
As for the 501st I have been a member for a few years now so I am not worried about getting this Jango version in. I am going to try how ever. And the 501st does let EU costumes in. They just have to be well documented and be profetionaly done just like a regular Star Wars costume. Examples would be Durge, Prince Xixor, Darth Reven, Arc Troopers, Black hole Troopers, Magma Troopers, Mara Jade...and the list goes on and on. So it is possible.

well they rejected my kir kanos costume.
Love the helmet, it looks great and the idea of doing a different version of Jango is very cool.
It would be great if the 501st would accept Customs and more EU characters/versions. I've been a member for a few years now, and I think it could attract more people to the 501st. Especially since the future of SW will be heavliy carried out by the EU. I really don't see why it would be a problem as long as you had at least 1 costume that was considered movie canon. Since most events are not canon events you could probably troop in your custom or EU version pretty often. But that's just my opinion.
I like that color. What color did you use?
The 501st does accept EU characters. It even has an entire detachment dedicated to EU characters, www.flagshipeclipse.com.
As for Open Seasons Jango, a member of my Garrison has his approved.
Red- Garnet Red by Rust-oleum
Silver- Pewter R&B
Dark Metalic- Flat Black and Metal Silver...This part I painted flat black first then did two light passes with the silver. After that I wet sanded the silver a bit and it gave me the charcoal metalic look I desired.
Weathering- Burnt Umber and Black mixed and applied at full strenghth (no watering down)
Last edited by jangofett76; Nov 7, 2007 at 7:29 AM.
R&B is "Rub N Buff" The color is pewter.... You can find it at most craft stores (I found it at Micheal's in the aisle with the adhesives).

- How to Read a Study Record
Valsartan, an orally active angiotensin II receptor blocker, is registered in most countries worldwide for the treatment of hypertension. In China the usual recommended starting and maintenance dose is 80 mg o.d. The combination of HCTZ 12.5 mg with valsartan 80 mg has been shown to have additive effects in lowering blood pressure compared to valsartan 80 mg in patients not adequately controlled by valsartan 80 mg monotherapy5 or in non-selected patients6. This fixed combination is registered in most countries worldwide.
The potential benefits of these combinations should be evaluated in patients not adequately controlled by valsartan 80 mg monotherapy. This study will compare the efficacy, safety and tolerability of adding HCTZ 12.5 mg to valsartan 80 mg in those hypertensive patients.

Giro's Atmos is a favorite helmet among many roadies, XC riders and cyclocross racers everywhere. It's crafted with Giro's In-Mold and Roll Cage technologies for excellent durability and low weight, plus it boasts a whopping 26 vents and Giro's Wind Tunnel venting to pull cool air in and blow hot air out, a vital feature when you're laying it all out on the race course. Maybe best of all, it utilizes Giro's Roc Loc 5 retention system for a perfect fit.

Excellent fit on a lightweight helmet
By Old and in the way.
from San Anselmo, CA
About Me Competitive Cyclist
Started racing in the early 70's, have been cycling for 40+ years, often in hot conditions. This helmet is lightweight, cool and best of all, it covers my head a bit more than comparably priced helmets. Probably the best fitting helmet I've ever tried on, which is a big deal as I owned a bike shop for 13 years, and then was on the road with a bike company for 3 years afterwards. Expensive, but I would buy another one if I had to.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

About Me Avid Cyclist
its great you cant even tell its on. best equipment is the stuff that doesnt get in your way and this poduct is top!
One of the top of the line helmets.
By Milton C.
from San Francisco
This helmet I would recommend for experienced competitive cyclists. The Roc Loc fit is too complicated. Instead of using 1 hand, you might have to use both hands while adjusting it. Making yourself vulnerable to a accident. The helmet is fantastic, I love the carbon fiber reinforcement. And it is sleek. Don't forget that Lance Armstrong and the Discovery Ch. Team wore the Atmos before the Ionos.
Great Helmet
By uniroadcyclist
from St. Louis, MO
No complaints. I wish everything I purchased worked this well.
Not the most comfortable helmet.
By CM
from Vermont
About Me Collegiate/Pro
Despite the praise for the Giro Atmos, I'm not very satisfied with this helmet. Though the size adjustment is very clean and effective, it uses the forehead as a pressure point, forming visible dents when the helmet is removed. This also contributes to less comfort the longer the use.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Is this Really a Helmet?
By 3PO
from Pittsburgh, PA
This helmet makes me feel like I'm not wearing one. With its amazing ventilation and light weight desighn. The ROC LOC fit system provides a personal snug fit that I have never expereinced from any other helmet.

Re: Arnott Ind. OEM air shocks 98 STS
These are the Anott Ind. OEM Air shocks that everyone seems to not be happy with, right? I thought I saw on their website that the shocks were overstock bought from GM when they switched to a new system. Wouldn't that mean that they "should" feel the same as brand new? Do these hook up to the air compressor line just like the ones from factory?
Re: Arnott Ind. OEM air shocks 98 STS
Yes, they hook up to the compressor. I know for a fact they are not the same as what comes on the car originally. Just the size alone is completely different. The originals are MUCH bigger than the Arnott shocks. I've had my Arnott's for a few weeks now and the ride has gotten softer from when they were originally put on. I've probably put about 1800 miles on them so far so I would consider them broken in now. Still no problems with them and still very satisfied with them.
Re: Arnott Ind. OEM air shocks 98 STS
Back again, so far I've heard good and bad from everyone. I am still 100% satisfied with my rear Arnott OEM shocks. They are a little stiff at first, but remember you are used to the old worn out shocks, any new shock should be stiff at first. Mine have gotten a little softer and smoother now. It has a smooth firmbut plush ride like a STS should. Not trying to knock anyone, but before my new job, I sold New/Used cars in the Dallas, Plano, Richardson TX area for the past ten years. I have driven many Cadillacs and other cars new and used. Also I have 2 friends and a next door neighbor with STS's and the ride isn't any different. I just went and drove a 2000 w/ 50k on it at the dealership that I used to work at and I cannot find any difference. Now I am talking about the 98/01 rear OEM's, not any other year which are Passive replacements. The shocks on my STS that came off were the same size as the Arnott's and they just pluged right in no computer adjustment needed and no warning lights not adjustments. The manager at the shop that put them on for me (and they specialize in Cadillac's) told me he is going to order some and put them on his wifes 98 STS because of the way mine rides and feels. He also wanted to take a look at mine after a few months and he checked them and said they are good, now he is going to buy his. I feel before you knock a product and are the authority on how they should feel you need to drive a whole bunch of them so you know what you are talking about and also know a lot of mechanic's not just based off of one car that you have been riding in with bad shocks for who knows how long. I don't know how their fronts struts are, because I have not used them and I don't think they are OEM, but the rear OEM's are excellent and I would recommend them. The handling is excellent also, for those who know I took the exit from northbound 35e to the George Bush Turnpike at about 80mph and it handled perfectly. Also the tires matter as well. I don't recommend Goodyear's at all the ride and handle like sh*t for is car. I have Falkens on now and they handle better and are smoother and quieter than the Michellin MXV's. heck, I drove a 98,99 and a 2000 STS today. If these were bad shocks, I would be the first one to tell everyone.

Re: Arnott Ind. OEM air shocks 98 STS
If I ever have to replace the fronts I will probably get OEM's from GMpartsdirect.com They go for about $375 a piece instead of the suggested $771 retail. Hopefully it won't come to that before I sell it, but I'm more willing to pay to keep the air ride than switch to passive to save a few bucks.
Re: Arnott Ind. OEM air shocks 98 STS
Thanks to everyone here! I have a 99 STS that i can't stand to even drive anymore! The rear squirrels and bounces over every little bump at 136,000 miles. I will go with the factory Arnott shocks now...
Re: Arnott Ind. OEM air shocks 98 STS
I was wondering if anyone had ordered the passive ride for the front on a 99sts? As I said before if I ever have to replace the fronts I will keep the air ride, but I was wondering if anyone had a review on the passive arnotts.
Re: Arnott Ind. OEM air shocks 98 STSOriginally Posted by chmont1
Re: Arnott Ind. OEM air shocks 98 STS
Replace the compressor head. You can replace the head which is cheaper or the whole compressor assembly. The compressor head is the brains for you compressor, they are known to rust out, because of there location. When they do they short out. If you replace it you will see a world of difference. And your compressor will work to air up your shocks. part $94 and I paid $50 to have it put on. You might want to replace the air hose from the compressor to the shocks also.

Body Image
I believe the main issue that defines the concerns that all of my patients bring to the consultation is body image. Body image is how we perceive ourselves in our mind's eye and the interaction between the mind's eye and the subjective appearance that all perceive in the real world. This interaction, in the most ideal sense, would be essentially the same. This never happens. We heve all seen ourselves in pictures and our immediate response is," Oh my gosh, I don't really look like that. Do I?". Yes you do. But not in your mind's eye.
The best candidates for making a positive change in physical appearance have several attributes which are essential to overall success of the actual surgical procedure. They are as follows: 1) An issue with physical appearance which can be objectively confirmed in the consultation, 2) A reasonable expectation of a change which will enhance their appearance but maintain their physical identity ( i.e. they will still look like themselves), 3) The understanding that this change in appearance may indeed enhance their life, but mainly in an internal satisfaction that will manifest in more self confidence and overall well being, 4) No unreasonable expectation of a life changing event that will make everything better.
We are blessed with a special relationship with our patients in the field of plastic surgery which also confers a special obligation. Respecting the mind and it's connection to the body is our biggest challenge and our most prescious resource.

Baby Giraffe Born at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo
(Cleveland)-The female calf was born to first-time mom Jhasmin, and father Travis. She is the 47th giraffe calf born at the Zoo since 1955.
"The baby is doing well and Jhasmin is proving to be a very attentive and nurturing parent," said Andi Kornak, the Zoo's Director of Animal and Veterinary Programs. "They will continue to spend bonding time together before the little one is introduced to the rest of the herd and joins them on exhibit."
Jhasmin herself was born at the Zoo in 2005. Travis was born at the San Diego Zoo in 2006 and came to Cleveland in 2008. The Zoo's current giraffe herd also includes females Jada and Grace.
The baby is not yet named and the Zoo is making plans for a public name the baby campaign to be announced shortly.
Giraffes give birth standing up, so newborns get an abrupt introduction to the world by dropping up to 6 feet to the ground. They are about 6-feet tall when they are born and weigh between 100 to 150 pounds.
Giraffes are the tallest mammals, with males capable of reaching heights up to 18 feet tall. Giraffes can weigh up to 2,000 pounds. They have long, prehensile bluish-purple tongues, which they use to strip the leaves from tree branches in the wild. Giraffes typically live 15-20 years in the wild and a few years longer in captivity.

I was thinking of designing a rod like board where you can insert "n" number of Pis and when the rod will be connected to the TV, it will accumulate all the power from "n" Pis and show it as a single computer.
For example, you buy the 2-tier rod from me and 2 RPi. You can plug Pi's GPIO to the rod and it will be all set to go. When computer is running, it will show following power.
700 Mhz + 700 Mhz = 1.4 GHz Processor
I have planned to name it "Pi Backbone", I am not so good at 3D designing but because I am enrolled in a Computer Graphics and Animation course this semester, I can workout on this. I will post video in a week or two.
If you can help me in this regard anyhow, ping me!

Beyonce & Jay-Z Leave St. Barth with Baby Blue Ivy
After spending four beautiful days on a yacht, Jay-Z and Beyonce Knowles were spotted in St. Barth, France with Baby Blue Ivy on Saturday (September 8).
Getting ready to head back home, the Hollywood couple looked relaxed after their trip around the Mediterranean Sea.
In related news, sources claim that the "Single Ladies" singer is good friends with Kanye West's girl Kim Kardashian.
A new report on Radar Online claimed that the singer and reality star, both 31, clashed at the Budweiser Made in America festival in Philadelphia last weekend.
"That report is absurd," a source close to Beyonce tells Us Weekly. Indeed, the "I Was Here" singer "loves Kim," and "there's absolutely no beef."
Enjoy the pictures of Beyonce and Jay-Z seen with their daughter Blue Ivy Carter in St. Barth, France (September 8).

"Teen Mom 2" Starlet Jenelle Evans is Expecting Her Second Baby!
Well, she's at it again! "Teen Mom 2" starlet Jenelle Evans is expecting a baby with her new boyfriend, Nathan Griffith.
According to a source who spoke with E! News, the pregnancy has been planned from the start, and although it is not yet known how far along the 21-year-old is, the insider stated that MTV has documented Jenelle's first doctor visit for "Teen Mom 2's" fifth season, and will include this pregnancy within her storyline.
The new addition will be the couple's first child together, however Jenelle does already have one son, Jace, from a previous relationship.
Even though the current news is happy, Jenelle does not currently have custody of Jace, who is in the care of her mother, Barbara. The source stated that, "It sucks. I know she wants to prove she's doing better, but having another baby without custody of her first isn't helping." And reports state that Jenelle is still legally married to Courtland Rogers, who is currently in jail.

An Irish band achieved fame by writing a song entitled, "There's No One As Irish As Barack O'Bama." They found evidence O'Bama has some ancient Irish blood way back in his heritage. Ger Corrigan of the Nancy Boys claims their song was hijacked by Mary, Francis and Shay Black and want restitution for the use of their song. The Irish group is angry that someone played their song on YouTube and made it appear the Blacks were the composers of this ditty.
We suggest the entire matter be resolved in some nice Irish pub where beer can be the lubricant that not only works out who wrote the song, but is the means by which good Irish people get on with the task of helping their Irish brother, Barack O'Bama get elected. The important thing is the need to get another Irish man in the White House. What better candidate for this goal than a nice Black Irishmen, Barack O'Bama leading the way with a glass of beer in one hand and a nice stick to bang away.

Seventeen Evergreen: Music Is The Wine
After a broad-based critical approval for both their debut album, 'Life Embarrasses Me On Planet Earth' (Aug'07) and debut UK live and radio session dates (Jun'07) Lucky Number's super San Franciscans, Seventeen Evergreen, release the much anticipated lead single, 'Music Is The Wine.'
Seventeen Evergreen's chief-protagonists Caleb Pate and Nephi Evans, are both singers, multi-instrumentalists, & most importantly, storytellers of imagination and hyper-reality. "Music is the wine, to fill my cup of sadness, helping to forget a love electrocuted", is the simple eloquent message offered here, emphasizing the emotionally-healing quality that music holds for so many of us. "The songs of love that live, beyond the instruments, behind your eyes and growing, gradually pull…[you]…in", to a stronger place, of course! It's a sexy place too, adopting 'Moon Safari's sultriness as if played by an acutely amorous band of space-funkers. This is true to The Independent's reading of Seventeen Evergreen's album, its' "…other-worldliness recalls Midlake only with the time-machine set for the future rather than the past."
Further fortifying the aphrodisiac funk is the most chic of Parisians, Joakim. His remix comes on like the super-slinky 'Space-Disco' sister to Taana Gardner's classic Heartbeat', a groove of dancefloor lust you can imagine both Grandmaster Flash & Larry Levan championing as their own. It's a minimal but bumpin' breakbeat that feels like it's on the cusp of a new dance genre, cutting a fresh soulful edge to the track alongside the reverberations of a startling sonic mix of rasping keyboard trills & effects that Joakim rocks so well!
In addition we hear surely a new expression of 'dubstep' with Bi-Polar Men's mix of album track 'Ensoniq', providing an irresistible urgency to the deep bass tones we're used to from the genre. Leading scenester Skream has already made this mix a stalwart of his international dj sets and featured it on his recent Radio 1 'Essential Mix'.
Seventeen Evergreen's vision goes way beyond the sonic of course. Following their association with supreme video-groundbreakers Encyclopedia Pictura the band are now currently in LA directing their own storyboard. As lead singer Caleb puts it he expects them to be "waylaid by the bling-fest, but reminded that life is magic." The result will surely extend the picture book beauty of their previous promo activity, including gravity-defying romps in Marin County, & somersaults in space whilst performing!
So once more Seventeen Evergreen are continuing to glide eyes wide-open along life's many paths, savouring the manna of every one of their visionary details.
