Poland Spring: Summering in Fashion
During the Gilded Age at the end of the nineteenth century, Americans sought to leave increasing urban, industrialized lives for the health and relaxation of the country. The Poland Spring resort, which offered a beautiful setting, healing waters, and many amenities, was one popular destination.
Since the establishment of the area's first licensed hotel in 1681, Portland has had a dramatic, grand and boisterous hotel tradition. The Portland hotel industry has in many ways reflected the growth and development of the city itself. As Portland grew with greater numbers of people moving through the city or calling it home, the hotel business expanded to fit the increasing demand.

A New York 'Middleman' in the Baseball Doping Scandal
The baseball doping scandal dominating sports headlines this week has put an employee of a prominent New York sports agency, ACES, in the spotlight. In an article in The New York Times Wednesday, Steve Eder delves into the role a so-called middleman, Juan Carlos Nunez, may have played in the unfolding scandal.
Nunez, a former Washington Heights travel agent, became a bridge between the anti-aging clinic Biogenesis and a wide circle of professional baseball players. Doctors at Biogenesis, which is based in Coral Gables, Florida, allegedly prescribed banned substances to at least 12 players.
"Juan Carlos Nunez's role at ACES was to help the agents with their Latin American clients," Eder said. "If they needed something, Juan Carlos Nunez was the guy that they'd call."

Sigur Ros are not a band you can sing along to. The truth is only enigmatic singer Jonsi Birgisson knows what he is saying, singing in a self-confessed made-up language.
Not even his band mates can help, so backing vocals are off the menu.
But that doesn't stop them, and the sell-out crowd, loving every minute of the dense ethereal sound.
It has been 14 years since the Iceland quartet arrived on the scene in typical muted style, winning over fans with their brand of shoegazer space rock.
Over five albums including 1999's breakthrough Agaetis byrjun the four piece have won over legions of fans.
They have done it with integrity, dipping their big toe in the mainstream with rather more accessible singles without being sucked into the whirlpool.
Their records continue to blend the indulgent and experimental with the celebratory and recognisable, but it is as a live act that they have become a tour de force.
Arriving onto the stage as silhouettes behind a thin white screen the band launch into their extraordinary sound while dreamy and hallucinogenic images flash up in front of them.
For the first half of the show Sigur Ros remain hidden, their warped silhouettes cast onto the giant screen.
It is only when the screen is raised that you see the band's six-piece horn and string section, which adds layers of orchestral finesse to the rich effect-heavy electric guitars.
The leading light of Sigur Ros is iconic vocalist Birgisson whose staggering falsetto is in equal parts confounding and mesmerising.
When I discovered the sumptuous sounds of Sigur Ros in 1998 they were music I listened to and got lost with through my headphones.
These days they are as much a visual feast than an aural one, and so good that it must be seen to be believed.

Comments about Spirit Halloween Kids Barbie Witch Dress Costume - Barbie:
The costume was very cute. The only complaint I had was that my daughter is a little large around the stomach and it was a bit tight in that area for her. She wears a size 10 in children's clothing and the size of the costume we ordered was a medium which fit sizes 8-10. There was no other size available.

Today, I would like to share with you my layout for October 'Once Upon A Sketch'. I really had fun with the sketch and journaling this month, so let's not waste anytime.
Here's the UBER FANTASTIC Nadia sketch.
And the journaling prompt:
I took creative liberty and made the circles, squares...moved the title, and elongated the background section.
Spot the collection? Lovely JBS product. LOVE this stencil paper!!
I snuck my journaling into the large envelope, and it reads:
In today's world, it is SO easy to get distracted by all of the technology,
by our busy lives, by all of the physical demands of parenting and by all
of the responsibilities of our career, that it is easy to forget to FOCUS
on the little things.
Things that you will laugh about with your family and friends.
Things that make you feel human and alive.
Things that you leave behind when you are gone.
These are the things that are important.
I also used a chipboard title from Imaginarium Designs. These are FANTASTIC!
Make sure and hop on over to the OUAS blog and check out the amazing DT layouts! You WILL be inspired.
As always, thank you for stopping by! Have a wonderful weekend.

Just to clarify: I am not a huge Stones fan (my dad is, hence my name!) Musically for me it's soul all the way which I prefer to be 'authentic' i.e. American and, preferably, black. Although there are some good 'blue-eyed' soul records, for me white English kids copying black American music are just, forgive the pun, a pale imitation. Remember the story of when the Stones went to the Wheel? I do understand how Jagger, Farlowe and others were viewed at the time, this is just my opinion.

$1B homeowner program mainly benefited 3 states
A $1 billion federal program to help distressed homeowners in much of the country mainly helped people in just three states and very few in some others, government data show.
Almost half the homeowners aided by the Emergency Homeowners' Loan Program are in Pennsylvania, Maryland and Connecticut, based on preliminary figures from the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
As previously reported, the program closed to applicants on Sept. 30 with more than half of its $1 billion unspent. Leftover funds return to the U.S. Treasury.
STORY: Existing home sales up 1.4%, still at depressed levels
INTERACTIVE: Tracking the pulse of the economy
Fewer than 12,000 applicants were approved before the program expired, short of the 30,000 target.
Funds were allotted for 32 states and Puerto Rico based on population and unemployment.
Not only was much money unspent, but what was spent exceeded targets in some states and was well below them in others.
•Pennsylvania, Maryland and Connecticut were initially allotted $179 million, but received $46 million more because they used up their initial funds, HUD spokesman Brian Sullivan says.
Homeowner help
|Places with the most homeowners receiving preliminary loan approval under the Emergency Homeowners' Loan Program:
|Puerto Rico
|Source: Department of Housing and Urban Development
HUD allowed those states, along with Delaware and Idaho, to run their own programs because they already had similar ones. HUD ran the program for the other states and contracted with housing counseling agencies to process applicants.
•HUD initially expected almost 22,000 homeowners to get help in the other 27 states and Puerto Rico. Only 27% of that goal was reached, preliminary numbers show.
Puerto Rico fared best. With funds to help 652 homeowners, it got 468 preliminary approvals, or 72%. South Dakota hit 52% of its maximum allocation.
•In five states — Utah, Iowa, Arkansas, Missouri and North Dakota— less than 10% of the expected number of homeowners received preliminary approvals. North Dakota's allocation allowed for 43 borrowers to get help; just four got preliminary approvals.
•New York state has 458 preliminary approvals — 17% of its maximum allocation for 2,633 loans. Its total will likely go up because a data transmission problem delayed some applications there, Sullivan says.
The program provides up to $50,000 in no-interest loans, which are forgiven if recipients stay in their homes five years.
HUD is closing loans now. Final numbers are expected by Jan. 1.
If you applied for a loan under the Emergency Homeowners Loan Program, USA TODAY would like to talk to you. Please e-mail: email@example.com

I am looking for an alternative 20ga for larger shot sizes. I have exhausted most all avenues with the Beretta 390/3901 20ga with shot sizes larger than #4. As much as I like them, they do not like #3 or #2 loads regardless of how fast or slow they are. I have considered loading Nice Shot since I found a 10lb jug of #6 I had completely forgotten about. I am not set up to load 3" steel and frankly don't care to add another press just for that.
How does the SX3 handle the larger shot sizes, does it prefer the fast or medium speed loads? I am looking at 35-45yds.
Thanks Darryle

Nikki Sixx: Motley Crue Will Call It Quits After New Album, Film, Soundtrack + Farewell Tour
Motley Crue bassist Nikki Sixx has been very forthcoming about his band going out with guns blazing. Determined to end on a high note, Sixx claims in a new interview that after Crue release their highly anticipated new album, complete the movie adaptation of the band's autobiography, 'The Dirt,' release the film's soundtrack and embark on a farewell tour, the iconic group will disband permanently.
During our recent interview with Nikki Sixx, the bassist alluded to Motley Crue's eventual end. "It's not that we hate each other or we don't work together well," explained Sixx. "I think it's just at some point we want to leave it with some sort of a legacy that's leaving it in a good way. I just see some bands that keep f—ing beating a dead horse and I'm like, 'Get off the horse, dude, it's dead.'"
Now, in an interview with Australia's TheMusic.com.au, Sixx goes into even more detail when it comes to killing that metaphorical horse.
"It's important that when you do a farewell tour that people understand that when you put a bullet in the back of the horse's head, and it goes down, it's not a plastic bullet it's a f—ing shotgun blast," says the bassist. "You know, blow its f—ing brains out, it's never coming back. It has to [be that way]. It's the only way I can look at myself in the mirror and do a farewell tour. That's it. So when we take our final bow, it's it. I will cry. I cry thinking about it."
Sixx continues, "I've been in this band longer than I've known any woman, longer than I've known my children – only my family, and I have a closer relationship with my band than I have with my family, and a rockier relationship with my band than I've had with anybody in my family, as well."
He concludes, "I'll leave you with this: when you go and see a great f—ing movie and it ends and you go, 'F—!' like, you walk out and you go, 'That was amazing! That blew my mind!' It's not like, 'That blew my mind and, um, maybe there'll be a sequel to it.'"
Stay tuned for news on Motley Crue's upcoming album, film, soundtrack and all future touring plans. See Sixx's full interview over at TheMusic.com.au.

Recipe: Quick-Braised Pork Chops with Spring Greens and Anchovies
Makes 2 servings
2 center-cut bone-in pork chops, about 1 1/2 inches thick
Kosher salt, for seasoning
Freshly ground black pepper, for seasoning
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot
3 anchovy fillets, finely chopped
1/4 cup chicken stock
1 large bunch of arugula, Swiss chard, or watercress, stems trimmed, about 5 ounces
1. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Heat the oil to shimmering in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear, without moving, until dark golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer chops to a plate.
2. Return the skillet to the stove and reduce the heat to medium. Melt the butter in the pan. Add the shallot and anchovies; cook, stirring, 1 minute. Pour in the stock. Toss in the arugula, coating it lightly with the pan sauce. Nestle the pork chops on top of the arugula. Cover and braise until pork chops are just cooked through, about 15 minutes.

Compartment syndrome
|Compartment syndrome
|Classification and external resources
|729.7, 958.9
|Patient UK
|Compartment syndrome
Compartment syndrome is increased pressure within one of the body's compartments which contains muscles and nerves. Compartment syndrome most commonly occurs in compartments in the leg or arm. There are two main types of compartment syndrome: acute and chronic.
Acute compartment syndrome occurs after a traumatic injury such as a car crash. The trauma causes a severe high pressure in the compartment which results in insufficient blood supply to muscles and nerves. Acute compartment syndrome is a medical emergency that requires surgery to correct. If untreated, the lack of blood supply leads to permanent muscle and nerve damage and can result in the loss of function of the limb.[1]
Chronic exertional compartment syndrome is an exercise-induced condition in which the pressure in the muscles increases to extreme levels during exercise. The pressure creates a decrease in blood flow to the affected area which leads to a deprivation of oxygen to the muscles.[2] The symptoms are a sensation of extreme tightness in the affected muscles followed by a burning sensation if exercise is continued. Chronic exertional compartment syndrome usually occurs in athletes who participate in repetitive impact sports such as running.

Acute compartment syndrome[edit]
The first symptom of compartment syndrome is pain.[3][4] Loss of function and decreased pulses or pulselessness, however, are late signs. According to Shears, paresthesia in the distribution of the nerves transversing the affected compartment has also been described as relatively early sign of compartment syndrome, and later is followed by anesthesia (Shears, 2006).
- Pain is often reported early and almost universally. The description is usually of deep, constant, and poorly localized pain out of proportion with the findings on physical examination (often incorrectly described as pain out of proportion to the injury). The pain is aggravated by passively stretching the muscle group within the compartment or actively flexing it (though this finding is not specific to compartment syndrome alone) and is not relieved by analgesia up to and including morphine.
- Paresthesia (altered sensation e.g., "pins & needles") in the cutaneous nerves of the affected compartment is another typical sign.
- Paralysis of the limb is usually a late finding. The compartment may also feel very tense and firm (pressure). Some find that their feet and even legs fall asleep. This is because compartment syndrome prevents adequate blood flow to the rest of the leg.
- A lack of pulse rarely occurs in patients, as pressures that cause compartment syndrome are often well below arterial pressures and pulse is only affected if the relevant artery is contained within the affected compartment.
- Tense and swollen shiny skin, sometimes with obvious bruising of the skin.
- Congestion of the digits with prolonged capillary refill time.
Chronic exertional compartment syndrome[edit]
The symptoms of chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS) are brought on by exercise and consist of a sensation of extreme tightness in the affected muscles followed by a painful burning sensation if exercise is continued. After exercise is ceased, the pressure in the compartment will decrease within a few minutes, relieving painful symptoms. Symptoms will occur at a certain threshold of exercise which varies from person to person but is rather consistent for a given individual and can range anywhere from 30 seconds of running to about 10–15 minutes of running. CECS most commonly occurs in the lower leg, with the anterior compartment being the most frequently affected compartment.[5] Foot drop is a common symptom of CECS.[6]
Acute compartment syndrome[edit]
Because the fascia layer that defines the compartment does not stretch, a small amount of bleeding into the compartment, or swelling of the muscles within the compartment, can cause the pressure to rise greatly. Common causes of compartment syndrome include tibial or forearm fractures, ischemic reperfusion following injury, hemorrhage, vascular puncture, intravenous drug injection, casts, prolonged limb compression, crush injuries and eschars from burns.[7][8] Less common causes include labor and delivery following uncomplicated births and C-sections.[9] Compartment syndrome can also occur following surgery in the Lloyd-Davies lithotomy position, where the patient's legs are elevated for prolonged periods. As of February 2001, any surgery[where?] that is expected to take longer than six hours to complete must include compartment syndrome on its list of post-operative complications. The Lloyd Davis lithotomy position can cause extra pressure on the calves and on the intermittent pneumatic compression device worn by the patient.
Chronic compartment syndrome[edit]
When compartment syndrome is caused by repetitive use of the muscles, as in a cyclist, it is known as chronic compartment syndrome (CCS).[10][11] This is usually not an emergency, but the loss of circulation can cause temporary or permanent damage to nearby nerves and muscles. The cause of compartment syndrome is excess pressure on or within the muscle compartments. This pressure can occur for many different reasons, many are due to injuries. Injuries cause the swelling of tissue. The swelling of the tissue forces pressure upon the muscle compartments, which has a limited volume. Due to this pressure, the venules and lymphatic vessels that drain the muscle compartments are compressed, and are prevented from draining. As arterial inflow continues while outflow is decreased, the pressure builds up in the muscle compartments. This pressure will eventually decrease the amount of blood flow over the capillary bed, causing the tissue to become ischaemic. The tissues will release factors and will lead to the formation of edema.
Chronic exertional compartment syndrome[edit]
Complementary to chronic compartment syndrome is another subset known as chronic exertional compartment syndrome CECS, often called exercise induced compartment syndrome EICS.[12] According to Touliopolous, CECS of the leg is a condition caused by exercise which results in increased tissue pressure within a limited fibro-osseous compartment – muscle size may increase by up to 20% during exercise (Touliopolous, 1999). When this happens, pressure builds up in the tissues and muscles causing tissue ischemia (Touliopolous, 1999). An increase in muscle weight will reduce the compartment volume of the surrounding fascial borders and result in an increase of intracompartmental pressure.[12] An increase in the pressure of the tissue can cause fluid to exude into the small spaces between the tissue known as interstitial space, leading to a disruption of the micro-circulation of the leg.[12] This condition occurs commonly in the lower leg and various other locations within the body, such as the foot or forearm. This is commonly seen in athletes who train rigorously in activities that involve constant repetitive actions or motions.[12] In athletic popular culture there is a catchphrase, "Feel the burn," which references these conditions as something to strive for when training, weightlifting or otherwise working out. They are not understood as symptoms.[13] The symptoms involve numbness or a tingling sensation in the area most affected. Other signs and symptoms include pain described as aching, tightening, cramping, sharp, or stabbing.[12] This pain can occur for months, and in some cases over a period of years, and may be relieved by rest.[12] It also includes moderate weakness that can be a noticeable factor in the affected region. Chronic exertional compartment syndrome most commonly affects the anterior compartment of the leg, this can lead to problems with dorsiflexion of the ankle and the toes.[14] The symptoms of CECS are often confused with more common injuries like shin splints and spinal stenosis.[14] Treatment for chronic exertional compartment syndrome includes decreasing or subsiding exercising and activities, or cross training for athletes.[12] In cases with severe intracompartmental pressures surgical treatment, a fasciotomy, is necessary.
During compartment syndrome there is increased intra-compartmental pressure in the interstitium over its capillary perfusion pressure, due to the accumulation of necrotic debris and hemorrhage, especially hemorrhage secondary to fractures (Rorabeck, 1984). Any condition that results in an increase in compartment contents or reduction in a compartment's volume can lead to the development of an acute compartment syndrome. When pressure is elevated, capillary blood flow is compromised. Edema of the soft tissue within the compartment further raises the intra-compartment pressure, which compromises venous and lymphatic drainage of the injured area. Pressure, if further increased in a reinforcing vicious circle, can compromise arteriole perfusion, leading to further tissue ischemia. Untreated compartment syndrome-mediated ischemia of the muscles and nerves leads to eventual irreversible damage and death of the tissues within the compartment. There are three main mechanisms that are hypothesized to cause compartment syndrome. One idea is the increase in arterial pressure (due to increased blood flow due to trauma or excessive exercise) causes the arteries to spasm and this causes the pressures in the muscle to increase even further. Second, obstruction of the microcirculatory system is hypothesized. Finally, there is the idea of arterial or venous collapse due to transmural pressure.
Acute compartment syndrome (ACS) of the lower extremity is a clinical condition that is seen fairly regularly in modern practice (Shagdan, 2010). Although pathophysiology of the disorder is well known to physicians who care for patients with musculoskeletal injuries, the diagnosis is often difficult to make (Shagdan, 2010). If left untreated, acute compartment syndrome can lead to more severe conditions including rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure potentially leading to death.
Compartment syndrome is a clinical diagnosis made by a physician. It can be tested for by gauging the pressure within the muscle compartments. If the pressure is sufficiently high, a fasciotomy will be required to relieve the pressure. Various recommendations of the intracompartmental pressure are used with some sources quoting >30 mmHg[4] as an indication for fasciotomy while others suggest a <30 mmHg difference between intracompartmental pressure and diastolic blood pressure.[15] This latter measure may be more sensible in the light of recent advances in permissive hypotension, which allow patients to be kept hypotensive in resuscitation. It is now relatively easy to measure compartment and subcutaneous pressures using the pressure transducer modules (with a simple intravenous catheter and needle) that are attached to most modern anaesthetic machines. Most commonly compartment syndrome is diagnosed through a diagnosis of its underlying cause and not the condition itself. According to Blackman one of the tools to diagnose compartment syndrome is X-ray to show a tibia/fibula fracture, which when combined with numbness of the extremities is enough to confirm the presence of compartment syndrome.[16]
Acute compartment syndrome[edit]
Acute compartment syndrome is a medical emergency requiring immediate surgical treatment, known as a fasciotomy, to allow the pressure to return to normal. Although only one compartment is affected, fasciotomy is done to release all compartments. For instance, if only the deep posterior compartment of a leg is affected, the treatment would be fasciotomy (with medial and lateral incisions) to release all compartments of the leg in question, namely the anterior, lateral, superficial posterior and deep posterior.[17] An acute compartment syndrome has some distinct features such as swelling of the compartment due to inflammation and venous occlusion. Decompression of the nerve traversing the compartment might alleviate the symptoms (Rorabeck, 1984). Until definitive fasciotomy can be performed, the extremity should be placed at the level of the heart. Hypotension should also be avoided, as this decreases perfusion pressure to the compartment. Supplemental oxygen also optimizes tissue and neural oxygenation.
Chronic compartment syndrome[edit]
Chronic compartment syndrome in the lower leg can be treated conservatively or surgically. Conservative treatment includes rest, anti-inflammatories, and manual decompression. Elevation of the affected limb in patients with compartment syndrome is contraindicated, as this leads to decreased vascular perfusion of the affected region. Ideally, the affected limb should be positioned at the level of the heart. The use of devices that apply external pressure to the area, such as splints, casts, and tight wound dressings, should be avoided.[18] If symptoms persist after conservative treatment or if an individual does not wish to cease engaging in the physical activities which bring on symptoms, compartment syndrome can be treated by a surgery known as a fasciotomy. Surgery is the most effective treatment for compartment syndrome. Incisions are made in the affected muscle compartments so that they will decompress. This decompression will relieve the pressure on the venules and lymphatic vessels, and will increase bloodflow throughout the muscle. Left untreated, chronic compartment syndrome can develop into the acute syndrome and lead to permanent muscle and nerve damage.
A military study conducted in 2012 found that teaching individuals with lower leg chronic exertional compartment syndrome to change their running stride to a forefoot running technique abated symptoms.[19] Follow up studies are needed to confirm the finding of this study.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been suggested by case reports – though as of 2011 not proven in controlled randomized trials – to be an effective adjunctive therapy for crush injury, compartment syndrome, and other acute traumatic ischemias, by improving wound healing and reducing the need for repetitive surgery.[20][21]
Failure to relieve the pressure can result in necrosis of tissue in that compartment, since capillary perfusion will fall leading to increasing oxygen deprivation of those tissues. This can cause Volkmann's contracture in affected limbs. As intercompartmental pressure rises during compartment syndrome, perfusion within the compartment is reduced leading to ischemia, which if left untreated, results in necrosis of nerves and muscles of the compartment (Shears, 2006). Rhabdomyolysis and subsequent renal failure are also possible complications.
Notable cases[edit]
PBS science correspondent Miles O'Brien suffered a compartment syndrome and had to have his left arm amputated.[22] According to his blog, O'Brien was securing cases filled with camera gear on a cart as he wrapped up a reporting trip to Japan and the Philippines. One fell on his arm. The arm was sore and swollen the next day but worsened on the next, Feb. 14, 2014, and he sought medical care. At the hospital, as his pain increased and arm numbness set in, a doctor recommended an emergency procedure to relieve the pressure within the limb, O'Brien wrote. The doctor made a real-time call and amputated his arm just above the elbow.
NFL Player Rahim Moore suffered a compartment syndrome in his left calf in November 2013, but doctors treated it soon enough that they were able to save his leg.[23]
Kara Goucher, professional long distance runner and Olympian, had chronic exertional compartment syndrome and subsequent fasciotomies. She describes her experience: "Having compartment surgery changed my life. I was always in so much pain and unable to do the proper training that I needed. I had compartment surgery twice. I had it on both legs in 1999 on my lateral and anterior compartments and again in 2005 on my right posterior calf. Both times it was a huge success for me. As soon as the stitches came out and the wound healed, I was able to run pain free for the first time in years."[24]

Hesitation + Jerking during low range boost
Hi ALL!
I've looked all over forums, but I can't find the answer to my problem
I'm experiencing a jerking and boost hesitation (fluctuating on/off) - but only on low RPMs (between 1,500-3000) and at around half throttle. There are no problems when I drive the car really steady and gently (in traffic) and no problems on WOT - car goes like a rocket boosting 1.1bar and then setting to 0.9bar. Sometimes when I let the car jerk/choke a little longer I get a flashing CEL (that disappears after sometimes x5, sometimes x15 flashes) - but it doesn't always come on.
It's really hard to drive it normal, because any quick manoeuvres (like overtaking) are really rough and erratic - so you can either drive it really slow or race it - nothing in between.
What I've done so far based on what I know and found in forums is:
- Clean TB and MAF (routine)
- New Air Filter (routine)
- Reset the ECU
- Changed the spark plugs
- Tried a different DI cassette (could be misfires with the flashing CEL)
- Tried a different APC/Solenoid (why is it opening and closing boost erratically)
- Checked what I could of the vacuum lines
I've had no luck and nothing seems to have fixed the problem. I'm really stumped. I have no idea what it might be. I would really appreciate any advice or opinions
I have somewhat similar issues, but no CEL yet.
My new throttle body arrives on friday and I think it's gonna cure my problems since there was some faulty cables inside the old TB electronics.
Hesitation + Jerking during low range boost
I have a similar problem in warm weather and when the engine gets warm, but not sure what it is yet.
Very similar problems I've found here: http://www.saabcentral.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=187830
Seems to be a throttle body problem. I've PMed netmatt, hope he can help, since the thread ends in going to get a new TB, but not if it solved the problem
Thanks for the reply.
I was hoping that it wasn't as serious as that.
What sort of problems are you experiencing?
How did you diagnose the TB?
I've done the DI and the Solenoid, because they're pretty simple to plug and check from borrowed ones - but the TB is going to have to be a more costly operation.
I hade to take the TB apart to get to the wiring. There was no mechanical issues with it except that it needed cleaning, but the electronics were all messed up.
The issues I had was jerking and hesitation at low speeds and low rpms. Also when engine braking and when the throttle was in certain positions, usually on light throttle I could reproduce the jerkiness.
When switching to WOT the car would run like a charm.
Would any problems with the TB not throw a CEL? Or even a report when the Tech2 is connected?
Because I had a Tech2 connected, and aside from a few negligible things, nothing appeared reflected a damaged TB.
[I would just like to know for sure - because so far I saved a lot by NOT buying a new DI cassette, or a Solenoid, and the next step was to start looking at the turbo]
It does not throw a CEL until it's pretty much completely broken and goes into limp home mode. I guess it has to do with the +- readings that have to stay within some prevalued tolerance limits. So it can already be broken enough for the car to run bad but it stays within the tolerance so the engine thinks it's fine.
I had jerking at low RPM and light to moderate throttle on my 2004 2.3l(manual transmission) since I bought it 2 years ago. Recently, my oil trap hose failed (the one way valve cracked which resulted in a major vacuum leak), eEuroparts part no 5955927. When I replaced this hose ($45 at stealer), the jerking was gone. I think that the plastic valve was cracked all along, and had a slow leak until it finally failed completely.
Gemlan - Did you have problems with the jerking at full throttle? By Oil trap hose do you mean the PCV system? Because I had the whole system with hoses changed about 6 months ago - hard to believe that it would fail so quickly.
I'm gonna see if I can swap in a different TB today - maybe it will fix the problem. I read somewhere that 'loose'/broken wires in the TB can cause this hesitation and it doesnt occur at WOT due to the current hitting maximum (or something along those lines) - like in Idlewild's case.
I've been having similar problems on my car during hot and humid days.

Hi mfong.
I read your thread - some symptoms seems similar, however I'm not really blaming it on the weather conditions. I had the problems when it was cooler and theyre still there. Do you have power on WOT? Because mine boosts and roars like normal under WOT.
I had the problem with 1st gear at the lights a few times, where it just stuck and then suddenly just shot off (under slight throttle). But mostly its getting stuck in normal driving 3rd or 4th gear, trying to accelerate from around 2,000rpm.
Something new I discovered was a small backfire pop from the exhaust after it hesitated for a few seconds. Together with the flashing CEL I would have suggested engine misfires due to faulty DI, but that was replaced with a working one, and everything was the same (still bad). If we blame it on the TB, perhaps its limiting the air intake, causing unburnt fuel to backfire later in the exhaust? And the CEL is the same, warning of damage to the catalytic converter (which I dont mind, because I dont have one)
I'll try a new TB at my mechanics tmrw morning, although he sounds sceptical.
No problem with WOT, only light to moderate acceleration. And yes, the oil trap hose I think is part of the PCV system...It is the black pipe that runs across the back of the valve cover (left to right) and is clamped right at the one way valve connection approx center of engine.
When my car is driving poorly and under WOT, the turbo-meter would jump up to the end of the yellow border, and drop back down to the border between white and yellow. Out of frustration sometimes, I would roll my eyes and stomp on my gas pedal, because the car isn't going anywhere fast.

Ok, well our problems seem to be different, because I'm not losing boost in WOT, just in mid-range throttle. Tmrw morning the mechanic promised to have a TB to swap in to check if it solves the problem. As soon as I know anything more I will post, so as to hopefully help anyone out in the future.
As for now, thank you all for your replies and for those who viewed the thread.
I spent all day with the mechanic today. Changed the CPS (no change), a few hoses/one-way-valves (no change), unplugged the EVAP hose from the Solenoid valve (no change), and finally switched the TB for a different one (no change)...Still jerking
The last thing we tried, is we plugged the Wastegate hoses from the Solenoid valve. Went for a drive, and the jerkiness disappeared. Nice smooth boost build-up from 2,000rpm. Just that without the wastegate, the turbo was boosting at just over 1.5bars! Really nice, but obviously not the most reasonable option as it will blow my turbo or pistons with prolonged use - but at least it worked for diagnostics. So we're left with the idea that Wastegate actuator is faulty. Tightened the actuator, it was still jerking, but maybe a little less (not really sure). I think the next step is gonna be to replace the Wastegate - probably for a Forge one.
Thats all for now - IDLEWILD, it would be really interesting to see if the new TB fixed your problems (?) because I swapped in a used (not new) TB with no success
Fixed my problems pretty much. Took her for a drive and she's much smoother, the idling is perfect now too. The throttle response is so much better.
If I had a new turbo the car would be perfect now. I also think my vacuum lines and check valves have seen better days since the car has run over 200.000km by now. But there's a project for future days
Just came back from a trip to the seaside (700km/500miles). The car drove good, but had to put my foot down every time to overtake...couldn't do it with half throttle, the jerking/hesitation made it dangerous. Had to really push it - which is kinda silly, when you really don't have to.
Still leaves me with the same problem. Mechanic suggested it could be something to do with the wastegate. Like I mentioned before, when we plugged the hoses to/from the wastegate and solenoid, the problem disappeared (but the amount of boost was just overkill).
If the problem is with the wastegate, could it be the actuator that doesn't know how to set it itself at mid-boost/half-throttle?
or maybe the actual 'waste-gate' on the inside of the turbo (plug/flap) that has deteriorated and doesn't hold (hence the backfires, CEL from damage to the cat?)
Anyone for any ideas?
When you mention the solenoid, is that when you plug up the top hose?
My mechanic said that he tried to lubricate everything that he can see, but he thinks that the turbo itself needs more exhaust to spool up, hence the hesitation in the beginning, and then the sudden boost after 2900 RPM. So I don't know what to do.

Re: hesitation -> I dont mean TURBO LAG. The time it takes for the exhaust fumes to spool the turbo takes some time - but what I'm experiencing is different. I'll try to describe it again for clarity:
Say for example you are in 4th gear cruising at 80km/h (50mph) at around 2,000rpm. You want to overtake, so you press the gas pedal down a bit more, say to about 1/2way. The boost spools up, you get power for a second, but then it stops, like someone plugged up your intake (a choke), a second later it boosts again, then stops.The rpms arent really going up, neither is your speed, and your stuck in a jerking motion, like boosting, then not, then on again. The only thing that helps is either putting your foot down all the way to WOT, then if youre close to 3,000rpm the car takes off normally or downshifting to a gear thats gonna be above 3,000rpm at your speed (in this case 3rd).
But if you're in 5th gear, it keeps jerking, unable to increase its revs above 2,500rpms) until you hear a exhaust backfire (or sometimes a flashing CEL which disappears a few seconds later).
RE: wastegate again. I understand that there is a diaphragm and spring which moves the rod (actuator), perhaps that is the problem - the diaphragm is broken or the spring worn out. But I dont want to spend money on a new Forge one if its not going to solve the problem. Like I said so far, I could have wasted a lot of money on a new DI cassette, a TB and CPS without any solution (God-bless my mechanic for being so kind as to replace these parts and let me test the car to see if its fixed without charging me for them, just for labour).

According to a new report released by The Conference Board, older workers intend to postpone their retirement now more than ever, despite a recovering U.S. economy. Using data from the August 2012 Consumer Confidence Survey, Trapped on the Worker Treadmill? documented a sharp increase in plans to delay retirement among workers between the ages of 45 and 60, from 42% in 2010 to 62% in 2012.
Part of the explanation for the increase is that the groups that were more likely to delay retirement rose in size between 2010 and 2012. The percent experiencing a large decline in home value increased by 15 percentage points, while those experiencing job losses increased three percentage points and those experiencing salary reductions increased five percentage points.
As can be seen in chart 1, those who experienced a labor loss (either lost a job or experienced a pay cut) were much more likely to plan on delaying retirement.
In addition, between 2010 and 2012, financial assets continued to decline as households drew earnings from their financial accounts as a means of covering expenses during difficult times. They will need to continue working past retirement age to rebuild those savings. According to the survey, in 2012, 62% of the 45-60 population experienced at least a 20% decline in the value of their financial assets since the beginning of the crisis, compared with only 41% in 2010. This occurred despite strong increases in stock prices between 2010 and 2012. Both in 2010 and 2012, households that experienced a major decline in their financial assets were much more likely to plan on delaying retirement.
Regression analysis reveals that recessionary impacts only partially explain the change in attitudes toward delaying retirement. Other factors, such as historically low interest rates, changes in social security benefits, and longer life expectancies, are long-term contributors to this persisting trend, and are likely to continue to be so – at least in the near future.
The results of the study suggest that the trend of delaying retirement has accelerated more significantly than originally expected, fueling the rapid increase in the share of older workers in the workforce (Chart 2). This trend is likely to continue in the coming years as more of the Baby Boomers reach their 60s and continue working. On the other hand, the beginning of the recovery in home prices may improve the financial conditions of many older Americans and may partially offset the upward trend of delaying retirement.
As delayed retirement continues to increase in the United States, the business implications will become even more palpable. On one hand, the availability of older workers can mitigate "brain drain" and skill shortages. On the other hand, the reluctance of older workers to retire may pose challenges for employers who want to reduce headcount or hire and promote new staff. Costs are also a concern, as older workers are more likely to earn higher salaries and face higher health expenses.

Really interesting study! In particular, it's interesting to compare people's intentions vs. their actual behavior. The 55+ workforce participation rate has risen at a steady pace since the turn of the millenium, suggesting relatively consistent retirement trend.
Also a question--The article says there was "a sharp increase in plans to delay retirement among workers between the ages of 45 and 60, from 42% in 2010 to 62% in 2012." But the chart shows those are the figures for people who saw home price declines. Was that an error?
My job involves retirement forecasting, and I would be very interested in seeing overall how many people are delaying retirement--and I would really want to focus on the 55-60 population. (Do I have to pay for the report if I want to see that?)

Hey guy I have a 13 wrx premium ( no power mod) and just want to know what tips you can give me on driving
The car is a NYC daily driver I don't open her up often (once a week) if that
When I'm coming to a stop i usually leave in the gear I'm in and let the rpm down to 1.5 k and then I push the clutch in and slap her into n if possible I might bring her down from 5 to 4 or 4 to 3 but I don't do it often
When I take off I usually rev to 1.5 k rpm before I let go of the clutch petal I'm doing it slowly so the take off is smooth.
I do not plan on doing the heel toe. Are there any tips you guys can give me? I'm looking for engine longevity. Thank you
I also engine brake the car alot too

The hoop dreams of NBA Draft Day can sometimes turn into recurring nightmares for a lot of the young draftees when they look back at the ill-fitting fashion disasters they chose to wear on their big day. As in the tradition of high school portraits and senior prom poses, these fashion statements can come back to haunt you forever in pictures and on film. So it only makes sense to take care with what you wear. Before these guys get the big bucks to pick and roll in the NBA, some are left to pick and choose at the tall and big man shops. One of the top picks in this year's Draft looks to be Kentucky big man Nerlens Noel. And while he waits to find out which team will be drafting him, he's currently figuring out what to wear — and the selection isn't too shabby. Which is where his Twitter followers come in. He is asking fans for their help in choosing his ensemble for the evening. Nerlens has his choices narrowed down to three suits, pictured below. The first two looks ar...

Logo back to front page?
Can this be set up like the old forum, as to where a click on the PNW logo in the upper left will take you back to the front page? I know there is a lot going on right now, just asking for future reference.
Thanks for the quick action on putting the regional pages back up, much appreciated.:super:
Thank you and yes, I believe Edward is working on that.
Just an FYI for everyone. The reason the banner is not centered is we are working on a rotating banner on the right. It should show two pictures that rotate when you open the page when finished.
Lot's of great stuff coming, and we appreciate the input that helps make it a great forum.
SWEET, 9 minute reply, you folks are on top of this thing. Y'all doing a great job, we do luv ya !!

text: As I look out my window right now, Seattle is getting its first snowfall of this winter. I was out driving in it just about an hour ago and I was on my way home, when I came to a red light. An older Honda Civic EX, probably a 94-95 model, pulls up next to me and starts inching his way forward. The snow was coming down pretty thick and there was a good solid 1/8 inch on the ground, so nothing too bad yet. Anyway, he starts reving and as the light turns green, he floors it...instant loss of traction! I gun it and by the time he actually starts moving, I'm hit 40 on this 30 mph limit street and ease up. He then turns off so I unfortunately didn't get to see him again. Oh well I love my AWD!

what a great looking guitar..
thats so cool
I like the crop--how you get in close to the person's hand as they're playing the instrument--I think it gives it a lot more emotion. Also, the b&w looks great and gives the emotion. Lovely photo

NewsRadio 920 WHJJ and the Associated Press
EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — A convicted sex offender has pleaded not guilty after being charged with inappropriately touching a 10-year-old girl in a swimming pool.
Police say 63-year-old Raymond Dubord, of Bristol, kept trying to talk to the girl, then swam up to her and touched her at a gym in East Providence.
Police Lt. Armen Garo says Dubord then approached her again and put his finger up to his lips, as if telling her to keep it a secret.
The girl's grandmother reported it to the gym, and then called police.
Dubord was arrested Wednesday and pleaded not guilty Thursday. He said in a phone interview that it was a crowded pool and he doesn't know if he touched her.
Dubord pleaded no contest to child molestation and sexual assault in 1993.

I admit it. I love the holiday season, which seems to be getting longer each year. These days it begins with Halloween and doesn't end until January. The frenzy, lights, parties, sales — and sometimes I even sneak in a vacation for a few days. I love it all!
But what I don't like is that all the material aspects of 'the season' are making it more difficult for me — and you — to instill in our children a deeper, more spiritual feeling connected to whichever holiday we observe. And parents with whom I speak feel the same way.
At this time of year, the world is even more intensely commercialized than usual and it's hard to escape. And while some of us (like me) enjoy it, our children are inundated with seductive advertising practically every minute of the day. It becomes difficult to speak to kids about God or religion when their minds are stuffed with ideas about the gifts they want, the parties they will attend, and the ski or beach vacations on which they will embark.
Who can blame them?
In a way, who can blame us? Margaret, a mom of two kids, expressed it perfectly: "I want my kids to believe in God and the meaning of the holiday, but the world can be so tough that I also want them to have fun! Is that so bad?"
No, Margaret, I don't believe it's bad at all. So, don't take the fun away! Instead, you can fight the stranglehold of commercialism in our culture by adding ideas within your family that will help your child become spiritually enriched.
To begin, the gift-giving (and receiving) season doesn't mean you are required to say yes to every gift your child demands. Limit the number of presents your child can request, or limit the dollar amount if your child is saving for something big.
In addition, if your child receives a gift that he doesn't like, suggest that he donate it to a toy drive rather than exchange it. Or instead, in advance of the holidays, plan with your child that a small amount of her saved money (or gift money) can be used to purchase a gift for a toy drive.
Next, at the beginning of the holiday season, pick a charity your family will support. Spend the year collecting for that charity; the amount doesn't matter. For example, donate a percentage of a bake sale profits, or part of an allowance or babysitting earnings. Throughout the year remind your child that this is the true spirit of the holidays.
This last suggestion is secretly a gift to you. Have a family meeting where you agree to a negotiated number of family meals during 'the season' that are free of the usual bickering, arguing and fighting over seats, elbows, who was talking first, and everything else. After all, part of the holidays is about peace, right? If necessary, put dates on the calendar so no one will try to renegotiate later. If you traditionally attend a family holiday meal that is typically stressful, you might consider making this one of the dates.

A grandmother who claimed she could only shuffle down stairs on her buttocks managed to trick a hospital consultant as part of a "fraudulent" bid to claim more than £750,000 in compensation, the High Court heard.
Barbara Fari, a mother of 13 who is in her sixties, sued Homes for Haringey on the grounds her life had been "drastically altered" after she tripped on a paving stone in Hornsey in May 2008 and hurt her knee.
The council-run organisation initially admitted liability and offered to settle. But it changed its mind after Mrs Fari said she needed round-the- clock care because she could no longer walk unaided and could only climb stairs by shuffling up and down on her buttocks and lodged a claim for more than £750,000.
That claim was struck out at Central London County Court last October after Mrs Fari was caught on camera moving around without help during a secret surveillance operation.
The judge rejected Mrs Fari's right to any payout and referred her case to the High Court for abuse of process.
Both Mrs Fari and her husband Piper, who is accused of falsely claiming he was forced to give up his career to be a full-time carer, could now both face prosecution for contempt of court.
Yesterday, a committal hearing was shown surveillance footage from September 2011 and March 2012 which showed Mrs Fari moving unassisted two weeks after an earlier clip of her using a crutch and being helped by her husband as she arrived for a medical examination by consultant orthopaedic surgeon Andrew Jackson, who had been commissioned by Homes for Haringey.
The court also heard that Fari used a stick when attending Asbo proceedings being brought against one of her sons in November 2011.
David Melville QC, representing Homes for Haringey, said although she used a stick, the grandmother "gave evidence without needing the care and attention which at that stage she was maintaining in the original action".
Mohammed Bashir, representing Mrs Fari, suggested she might have been wearing a "supportive bandage" when filmed in the videos in place of her stick. Mr Jackson replied: "I don't think any orthopaedic surgeon would say a bandage was a substitute for a crutch."
Gail Lincoln, who interviewed Mrs Fari in August 2010 at the instruction of her solicitor, said she had spoken about her joy at fostering children for the local authority and her subsequent disappointment at not being able to continue.
Fari and her husband are alleged to have falsely claimed they had been active foster parents up until the time of the accident.
The hearing continues.Reuse content

I have my 3 albums on bandcamp. But nowadays I see that many bands choose Deezer and Itunes.Im really dont know how it works.
Thanks for sharing man. Yeah, I have been reading about aggregators that can get your music up on iTunes and stores like that for a certain fee, as you can't upload unless you're a label or something, so I may look into those.
BlueLionMusic said
As an artist with a couple of releases under his belt I can definately say Bandcamp is a superb outlet to sell your EP. It's a website driven by people who actually still buy albums even if they are just "digital". Great place to start and even collect some fans and sales. Try it!
Thanks for sharing Blue! I am going to!
Definitely a contender for my favourite song of all time. Goosebumps big time. 'Nude' performed by the best band in the world, Radiohead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSkTygQ7_qY

Definately this one – waltz written by Sir Anthony Hopkins https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LGVGekPSzo
Everytime I hear this piece it reminds me of the Harry Potter theme by John Williams. Lovely piece of music and what a talented guy Mr Hopkins is!

Brian of Color Theory writes about his findings on being an independent artist and promoting himself. He writes but both successful and unsuccessful ventures. Often tries different services that's available out there. Check his site out http://colortheory.com
He also runs Passive Promotion. Which is a site about set and forget type of promotion. http://www.passivepromotion.comSome good info on both sites.
Thanks very much for the info. I'll check out Brian's site!
ToivoMedia said
There's a site called Loudr which has some different options to bandcamp, not sure what but I bought a music bundle from there recently.
Thanks dude, I'll check it out
Gonna be releasing this mini EP of mine soon and would like some advice on good places to make it available, such as BandCamp etc. Not really doing it to make money (not even sure who would pay for it!) but I'm not giving it away for free either and I'd like to do a little more than just put it on SoundCloud. Tips from anyone who releases their stuff online would be much appreciated!
There is a rough mix of it online, so if you have me on SC then check it out
Sweet idea, I'm in
Guys please read the request properly! This person wants a bespoke score for this particular VideoHive project, they don't want tracks suggestions that may or may not fit and synchronise properly.
music2license said
COROT-7b saidThat's definitely right. I've seen a lot of tracks which were sold several times 24 – 48 hrs after release… but then the sales fall although the music has a big potential. When I look the statistics of my tracks that sold very good at beginning, I see there are almost no views after 3-4 days online. And of course is promotion out of audiojungle important and brings one or other customer and sale, but most customers are coming directly on audiojungle.net

ChoclateFix said
It seems like you're trying to be condescending, my friend! That's ok! It's been almost a year, trust me i know how to work with tags and descriptions! I am checking if anybody has the same problem or if the staff has an answer to my question! Every time i upload an item i follow up on it, like 99 percent of the authors here! I know when it's approved and i know how many people have viewed and bought it pretty much within an hour, cause i dedicate my time to this site! That's what the analytics is for! The front page hasn't moved an inch in the last 8 hours on my system….
Not at all, I just tried to make clear to you that front page exposure (as in where the track appears once approved), doesn't matter. Do you think buyers just randomly click there when they're all looking for a specific sound or mood? Nope. You may know how to "work with" them but do you understand their importance compared to this front page nonsense?I'd spend less time watching the front page and more time writing and promoting your music
Very foolish to deny the importance of finding the track on the main page. A lot of people rely on the main page.
Personally, I have checked this experience and I will say this: sales much more, if you regularly download the tracks, the more likely to be on the main page. After the track disappears from view – the chances of a sale fall catastrophically. I have long been familiar with the search system and the systems of tags. However, the priority is finding on the main page. And it's a fact that I personally see constantly.
And very sad, if I spend a lot of time and mental energy to write good music… and then this music is forgotten and is not for sale.
Ok I just have to reply to this. My last reply, honest
Sold several times with the first 24-48 hours, when they're probably not on the front page but are on the first page of their category within the search system, am I right? Tracks don't stay on the front page for long at all, sometimes for no more than a couple of hours.

Poll: RI Residents Among Most Stressed Americans
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) _ A new poll says Rhode Island is the second most stressed out state in the country.
The Gallup poll released Wednesday says Rhode Island follows only West Virginia on the list of the most stressed states. About 46 percent of Rhode Islanders said they felt stressed.
Rhode Islanders topped the list when it came to experiencing the least enjoyment. Although 80 percent of Ocean State citizens said they had felt enjoyment in previous days, that was the lowest tally in the country.
The poll says Hawaii residents are the least stressed in the country and experience the most enjoyment. Nearly 90 percent of Hawaiians said they felt enjoyment.
Gallup polled more than 350,000 adults by phone. The poll's sampling margin of error is plus or minus four percentage points.

What little boys are made of: 5 surprises for moms of boys!
Whether you're a first time mom of a little guy or you're already a mom to girls and now have a boy, there are definitely a few surprises in store. Of course, I don't have a daughter, but as the only girl in a family of five brothers, and now the mother of a boy, I understand the whole "snips and snails thing." Even at three-and-a-half months old my son is already quite the dude and I'm beginning to realize that I'm in for an interesting ride. Here are a some things I've discovered in my first few months as a mommy:
- Expect to get peed on. I can't count how many times my husband and I were peed on in the first few weeks of my son's life. The nursery walls, the bed, two friends' sofas and the infant bathtub all got a thorough soaking as well. And even though he's older now and more accustomed to the cool breeze that comes through during diaper changes, I fully anticipate at least a few more showers in our future. And yes, he'll probably giggle and smile while he's doing it.
- There will be grime. I still can't figure out how this is possible, but my little boy's fingernails are constantly dirty. I find myself attempting to pick the dirt out at least a few times a day. He's not even mobile yet, so I can't imagine the messes I'll have to contend with in a few months.
- Be prepared to have hair envy. Why is it that boys always have amazing hair and impossibly long eyelashes? Seriously though, my son has perfect curls and yet I sit in front of the mirror slathering on product and attempting to tame mine for hours every week. The universe is just unfair. Well, at least I get to run my fingers through his locks whenever I please.
- They are determined. My son does not give up. He is persistent and even at this young age, he works to get what he wants. Whether he desires to be picked up, eat or play, his will is impressive and I love it. I'm sure it will make for some challenging times as he gets older, but it thrills me to imagine him as a driven, hard-working young man.
- You will get the BEST cuddles. I'm sure girls are cuddly too, but the sweet smiles and hugs baby boys reserve for mom are truly priceless. I melt every time I get one of those big toothless grins. I'm like putty in his pudgy hands.
What has surprised you about your infant son? Any surprises in store for me that I'm missing from this list?

All true! Am I allowed to state the really obvious too? The close relationship my little boy has always had with his privates since he first discovered them at a few months' of age makes me laugh constantly, and I am sure I understand men a whole lot better ;)
LOL @ istar! I totally hear you! All these are so true. I also don't understand where all the dirt comes from! My little guy's hands are ALWAYS full of lint! I guess it's because he's starting to grab at stuff now too. Oh and also, and this might be hereditary, my little man sweats up a storm!
Whow, that is what exactly happens to me with my 2 1/2 year old! I have 5 girls and just one boy; and my boy is the one that always is hugging me, consoling me when I feel sad, giving me some food when he is eating, etc.
He is my hero, he is always there when I am in trouble with stress or desperate.
I love him with all my heart!

A Parkway West High School sophomore is receiving an outpouring of support from her fellow students following a car accident on Friday that left her with a brain hemorrhage, broken vertebrae and bruised lungs.
According to student newspaper The Pathfinder, sophomore Alison Owen suffered the injuries after a vehicle she was in hit two trees Feb. 1. A St. Louis Children's Hopsital official confirmed Owen is a patient at the facility.
The incident occurred in Chesterfield near a portion of Country Ridge Drive between Parasol Drive and Silverwood lane, which Chesterfield Police blocked off for much of the morning Feb. 2. Police said there were three other juveniles in the vehicle who suffered minor injuries.
On Monday, Parkway West students created a sign in fencing outside the high school that reads "Hope 4 Ali O." The sign is part of a larger campaign by the student body to show their support and love for Owen that included students wearing light blue on Monday and hats on Tuesday.
For more information on Owen's condition and to leave encouragement for herself and her family, visit her page at Caring Bridge.
