I love a good ramen place, but recently, this city is being overcome by them. I feel like there is one every few blocks, it makes it hard to find one that stands out. So many places skimp out on the noodles and protein and it is just a bowl of salt. So when Fab Food Chicago invited me check out Jinya Ramen Bar at 553 W. Diversey Pkwy in Lakeview, I jumped at the chance to try a new place with hopes of it being great. Read more at CGL Food

Toddler Meal Planning Made Easy- Little Harvest
As soon as Noah started to eat solids around 6 months, my husband and I were so excited for him to try EVERYTHING. Our plan was to cook all his meals ourselves, meal prep for the week and have him it only the best, organic food. Well, fast forward to 16 months now, we haven't been as good. Meal prep is hard for us sometimes, because like everyone, we are busy. So I did a little searching and found read more at CGL Baby.
Quest for the Best *Thin Pizza Only
There are a few things that can get me out of the house during winter hibernation or away from my summer Netflix and Chill; pizza, wine and maybe a manicure. If I'm desperate enough.
There are so many good places in Chicago to eat a good slice, but I can't stand deep dish. Except, maybe when I'm hungover. Or pregnant. One of those happens more than the other. But really, I'm a thin crust kind of girl. I have narrowed it down to just three, but there are so many more options in the city. Read more at CGL Food
Navy Pier: A Native Perspective
I am not going to lie, I haven't been to Navy Pier in years. Actually, most Chicagoans I know haven't gone either. There really hasn't been much of a reason to go. But for Mother's Day, my parents and in-laws wanted to see the Rolling Stone Exhibit, which is currently at the pier until July 30th. Read more at CGL Travel and City Adventures
Your Non-Hipster Guide to Pilsen
If you know anything about the various neighborhoods in Chicago, you would know that Pilsen has always been a predominately Mexican neighborhood. Recently, Pilsen has been slowly gentrifying as hipsters and young families move into the area, the culture is still very present. Although the restaurant scene is thriving with places like Michelin rated Dusek's and Honky Tonk BBQ, there are still plenty of authentic, Mexican taqueria's and bakeries. My husband's family still lives in the area, so we know some less touristy places that might not be as well-known. Plus, he has a discerning taste Read more on CGL Travels and City Adventures
Our "Planned" Birth Story
My son, Noah, is 15 months. He is a happy, healthy, silly little boy and that is all that matters. I love him so much, it is actually hard to describe. But to this day, I carry around what I call "MG" aka mom guilt. Read more on CGL Baby
Margaritas in May
If you know anything about me, I enjoy two kinds of drinks: a glass of Cabernet and a mezcal margarita with salt. But margaritas can be overly sweet, watered down, or just really, really bad. Whether it is Cinco de Mayo or a warm day in Chicago, a margarita is the perfect cocktail to sip on. To help you get your buzz on, I have rounded up a few of my favorite marg's around the city.

Published: June 10, 1988
When John Roebling designed the Brooklyn Bridge in 1883, he probably didn't envision it as an art gallery. Yet the bridge's anchorage, with its seven cavernous chambers and towering vaults, lends itself nicely to large-scale artworks. Today, Creative Time, a nonprofit arts organization, presents ''Art in the Anchorage,'' opening its fifth annual season with a show of eight installations designed specifically for the site by nine architects, sculptors, painters and a video-computer artist. The works can be viewed tonight at a free opening party from 6 to 8 P.M. The viewing is followed by the premiere of ''Piranesi in New York,'' a perfomance piece by Station House Opera, an eight-year-old London-based experimental theater group. In the piece, five performers evoke images of architecture, furniture, clothing and sculpture, using a system of movable platforms. Tickets for ''Piranesi in New York'' are $10, and can be purchased through Creative Time (619-1955) or at the door. The anchorage is at the base of the bridge on the Brooklyn side, at Cadman Plaza West, near the River Cafe. EVENING OF FRENCH MUSIC
Although the paintings of Georges Braque(1882-1963) may not be as well known as those of Picasso or Matisse, they have been described by one critic as ''some of the most beautiful ever painted by a Frenchman.'' Today, a major exhibition of Braque's works opens at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (review on page C26), and in honor of the show, the French Embassy is sponsoring a concert called ''An Evening of Mostly Music.'' The program features Sylvie Gazeau, a violinist, and Alain Planes, a pianist, in works by Poulenc, Messiaen, Debussy and one non-Frenchman, Stravinsky, all composers who were contemporaries of Braque. The concert is tonight at 8 at the Guggenheim Museum, on Fifth Avenue at 89th Street. Tickets are $10. Information: 360-3503. SATURDAY ONE-ACTS IN MARATHON
Four one-act plays will be presented Saturday night at the Ensemble Studio Theater's 11th annual Marathon, a festival of new one-act works that began previews this week and is to run through July 18. On the bill are ''Neptune's Hips,'' a serious comedy by Richard Greenberg set at a bed-and-breakfast establishment in Maine; Shirley Kaplan's reminiscence of a loss of childhood friendship, entitled ''Buster B and Olivia''; ''Something About Baseball,'' a comedy by Quincy Long about a German woman's fascination with the great American pastime, and Lanford Wilson's ''Poster of the Cosmos,'' a monologue by a man who lost his lover to AIDS. The plays, which feature 13 performers and four directors, can be seen at 5 or 9 P.M. at the Second Floor Mainstage, 549 West 52d Street. Tickets are $20. Information: 247-4982. 40 TAPPING TOES
Forty toes will be tapping, clogging and stepping across the stage at Symphony Space at 8 o'clock Saturday night, when Ten Toe Percussion presents the New York City Festival of Percussive Dance. The four performers are Brenda Bufalino, a jazz-tap dancer and founder of the American Tap Dance Orchestra; Manolo Rivera, a flamenco dancer and choreographer; Donny Golden, an Irish step dancer and the first American-born artist to place in the All-Ireland and All-World step dance championships in Dublin, and Ira Bernstein, a clog dancer who specializes in southern Appalachian flat-footing dance and English and French-Canadian clogging. A fiddler, a flamenco guitarist and a jazz pianist will provide the music for the program, and there will be a special appearance by Dominico Caro, a flamenco singer. Tickets are $12 and $9 in advance, or $15 and $12 the day of the performance. Symphony Space is at Broadway and 95th Street. Information: 864-5400. 3 NEW SHORT FILMS
Apparatus Productions, an 18-month-old nonprofit film production company established to support emerging film makers, is presenting three new short films this weekend. They are ''American Lunch,'' by Julian Plunkett Dillon, an Irish-born actor and stage director; ''Muddy Hands,'' by Evan Dunsky, a graduate of New York University who has been the assistant director of several feature movies, and ''Cause and Effect,'' by Susan Delson, who collaborated with Jill Godmilow on the acclaimed 1984 docudrama ''Far From Poland.'' The films will be shown at 10:30 P.M. at the Collective for Living Cinema, 41 White Street (925-2111), and again on Sunday at 8 P.M. at Millennium Film Workshop, 66 East Fourth Street (673-0090). Tickets are $5. SUNDAY 'BACK TO BROOKLYN'
The city's most populous borough is holding one of its most popular events this weekend. The sixth annual ''Welcome Back to Brooklyn'' extravaganza gets under way Sunday at noon, when Henny Youngman - comedian and Brooklynite - is crowned King of Brooklyn by the Borough President, Howard Golden. The festival, which is to run along Eastern Parkway from Grand Army Plaza until 5 P.M., includes the induction of former Brooklyn Dodgers into the Dodgers' Hall of Fame, an amateur boxing exhibition, a performance of Shakespeare's ''Comedy of Errors,'' an art show and sale, and live music by jazz, calypso and steel bands. There will be many events especially for children, including a banner parade, a stage with various performances throughout the afternoon, and marionettes, face painting and storytelling. Plenty of food and drink will be available for sale, much of which will represent the ethnic diversity of the borough. The festival can be reached by subway: the IRT No. 2 or 3 to Grand Army Plaza, or the IND D train to Seventh Avenue. Information: (718) 855-7882.

Usher's Honey Nut Cheerios Commercial Knows Its AudienceBy
You might have just gotten "Must Be The Honey" out of your head. Now General Mills is implanting the brand in an ad featuring Usher's recently released song "She Came To Give It To You."
A new ad shows Usher and BuzzBee having a dance-versation (like what sign language would be if you had to use dance moves instead) about heart health, of all things. (For the dance-challenged, there are subtitles.) Unlike "Must Be The Honey," General Mills left the song's lyrics unchanged, instead relying on Usher's sexy slickness to seduce viewers into buying more Cheerios.
"We saw great results from the Nelly ad, as we hope to with the Usher ad. But at the core they have two distinct messages," said Gail Peterson, General Mills' associate marketing director for Honey Nut Cheerios. Nelly made the cartoon bee more hip; Usher is bringing the heat to cardiac wellness.
That's a very grown-up message, but Usher has broad appeal—with 50.5 million Facebook fans and 9.7 million Twitter followers, which makes him a seriously popular spokesman for any product. (Plus, better moves than recent Cheerios spokespet Grumpy Cat.) Surveys by E-Poll Market Research show that Usher's appeal is particularly strong among, basically, everyone: parents, teens, and women, as well as among African American, Asians, and Latinos identify him as talented and stylish.
For Cheerios, featuring nonwhite Americans has become a cornerstone of its marketing strategy. Cereal has been losing ground to other kinds of breakfast foods, but not among people of color, particularly Latinos. Hispanic households are more likely to have consumed 21 or more servings of cold breakfast cereal in the last 30 days, according to to research by Packaged Facts. The Usher ads continue Cheerios' multiracial appeal, which in turn carries its own marketing momentum: its ads featuring a multiracial family created surprising controversy, followed by tremendous positive attention for the brand.

Signage in Denver
Denver signage companies strive to create large-scale works of art as signs that companies, businesses, and individuals can use to attract potential clients and customers. The right sign conveys not only the name of the company, but the feel with which it likes to associate itself, which further entices those who don't know the company and its services well. Signage companies offer such services as sign design, fabrication, installation, and maintenance.

Re: Official The Rock WWE Championship Discussion
Awesome documentary of Rock/Cena, besides the typical Cena/charity case brainwashing, "I'm here and will never leave"(In reality because nobody wants him anywhere else)and some stupid things from HHH and Cena saying that you can't change his "haters'" mind no matter what, yet STILL trying desperately to do it in every opportunity. It was honest in terms of telling how it really was in reality, with Cena as a last choice option etc. They did a great job presenting how big it was, Rock's goal as the greatest and most charismatic performer of all time to create the biggest match of all time, battle of two generations in physical prime and also the background around it. I loved the backstage footage, Rock/Jericho before the match, Rock/Show, even Rock/Del Rio there IIRC when Del Rio came to shake his hand in his locker room. Jericho was great as usual during it. They talked about Twitter was a big part in keeping the story alive without getting stale in 365 days, it was a major aspect of the interest for an entire year. The hype they did before the match backstage as a career defining W was good, that was the biggest match you're going to get in this era of the wrestling industry and it delivered big time. Cena said that Rock's ovation in his entrance was the biggest he ever saw in his entire career. Then Rock saying that when he dropped the final Rock Bottom and got the 3 count, it was 78k CANNONS exploding in insanity, just crazy atmosphere and a moment that will live forever. The last part of Rock/Cena hugging Vince and Rock getting a standing ovation backstage from all the workers after the match was cool, also got a Rock/Tyson interaction there. Overall, really good summary of the biggest, most memorable and most successful feud of this generation and it should stay that way with no rematches or an attempt to recreate the magic of the first time because it's NEVER happening, the legacy and significance of this program is unforgettable as it is.
Second part was the actual feud, all the promos despite some pathetically hypocritical material were good to great to awesome to MONEY. Top 5 will be Rock's return, Rock Concert, Rock/Cena before WM28, Rock history lessons and Rock/Cena/Miz/Truth segment in Boston. Two promos that are in the Top 5 but for some reason weren't on the DVD were Rock at Survivor Series 2011 and Rock in Philly. Don't know why. Rock YouTube annihilation also should have been there but I guess that's too much for the Cena character to handle without looking like a fool.
Matches - Rock316AE system. Rock - *, Cena - 1/2:
The Rock/John Cena vs The Miz/R-Truth Survivor Series 2011 -
Such a special atmosphere for a moment that millions upon MILLIONS...Of fans worldwide waited to see for so many years, to the point where you thought it's never going to happen. Seeing Rock walking to the ring that night with New York City giving him one of the biggest ovations in the history of MSG was surreal. Like Jerry Lawler said: "If this doesn't put chills up and down your spine something is wrong with you". Then the match started and it was even more than that, Rock out there outperforming the entire active roster after 8 years was crazy, his timing, selling, athleticism, still the great worker that he is and it was all in place with the hottest crowd of the year starting chant after chant and into every move, great match overall with Rock and Cena trading shots and building for the Rock comeback to end the match. The humiliation Rock along with MSG gave Cena after that was nice as well.
:rocky :rocky :rocky
The Rock vs John Cena WrestleMania 28 -
That was the definition of what a big time wrestling main event should be. In terms of an atmosphere, anticipation, star power and the in ring exchanges. Exactly what this match should be when people dreamed about this dream match since 2005. Full of believable nearfalls, full of drama, huge promotion, star power, mega hot crowd, memorable spots and perfect finish. Great in every way and this is what this industry is all about. Watching Rock, not only after almost a decade killing it in the ring for 30 minutes, but with a torn hamstring for half of the match putting on a tremendous performance was unbelievable. All that along with Oscar selling for the ribs and the STF spot. The finish was one of the greatest moments of all time and like Rock said, was like a stadium full of cannons just going fucking crazy like never before, hugging, jumping, throwing beer, that's a rare situation you will be lucky to see again. This match delivered after a year of hype and gave fans exactly what they wanted for over 7 years. One of the best WM main events of all time.
:rocky :rocky :rocky :rocky
Best of the extras was Rock telling his inspiring story before the success and singing for his grandmother and grandfather on their grave. I will watch the other part of extras and film cut in a few hours.
Overall, great DVD, if you liked the program this is one of the best, if you didn't like the program, you will like it after watching this. Worth watching either way on one of the greatest feuds of all time.

Introduction to Capitular Masonry
Paperback, 46 Pages
List Price: $11.00
Price: $9.35
You Save: $1.65 ( 15% )
Prints in 3-5 business days
This short course is meant to provide an Introduction to the Capitular Degrees for those who have decided to take the next step on Freemasonry, following the Three Blue Lodge Degrees. There are many excellent books about the symbolism of the Chapter, but many of them are about the English (or so-called 'Domatic') system, and don't make easy reading for an American reader. There are also number of impressive Monitors, written by great men and Masons. Thomas Smith Webb and Albert Gallatin Mackey are but two of these luminaries. However, again these serve more as reference books to those who are already familiar with the Rituals and their meaning. It is hoped that this book fills the gap for the modern Companion who needs a little help to understand the Capitular environment. For this reason this course, in addition to giving an overview of the Degree, also looks at practical topics, such as the organization of a Chapter, Grand Chapter, the Constitutions, the...

So I am new to the radio stuff and have been researching QRP but aside from it being small and using low voltage I know nothing about it. What are the advantages of this system? Can it broadcast stuff aside from morse code? Is this some thing that would be of use in prepping? Any info you guys can provide is of great appreciation. Thanks.
Last edited by tag187; 12-16-2009 at 02:21 PM..
Advantages would be smaller and portable, can use batteries to power. You can usually build a QRP kit cheaper than buying a new radio.
You can transmit voice, data and CW. A legal CB could be considered QRP.
Any use to prepping I guess is up to you. I have a couple of small solar panels that charge sealed lead acid batteries that I can use to power a few of my QRP radio's when power goes out or for added points during contests.
Links to some of the kits I have put together.
http://www.smallwonderlabs.com/ The PSK 80 and 20
http://www.qrpkits.com/bitx20a.html The Bitx20 SSB
The advantages is of course Size and Cost. However, unless you have been working with radios for years and really have a strong grasp of what they can and can not do, stay away from QRP at an entry level.
QRP can be days of calling CQ with no contact. Lots of time spent and very little or nothing to show for it. Do not misunderstand me, it can be a fun and rewarding hobby, but not something that you would depend on for survival.
The QRP nuts are always trying to go further on less power output. That means that they are masters of resonant antennas and feedline systems. Or at least the successful ones are. My recommendations is get into the hobby with as much power as you can afford for now 100 watts is considered low power, not QRP. QRP is generally anything under 10 Watts and less. Anything over 100 Watts PEP is considered High Power and for Amatuer licenses, that high power limit is reached at 1500 Watts PEP
Just so you know that is a lot of Radio Frequency Power.
QRP has its place in learning about radio and how to make it work for you, but honestly there is not much use for it in as a planned survival tool. This is my opinion and others may disagree. I liken QRP to Survival, Like Water Wings to Falling through the Ice. Probably not going to hurt ya, but not really going to be of much use.
I agree with the previous posts. QRP has it's place and can be an art form for some in the hobby. But I would not rely on it in a survival situation.
Not sure where you want to go, UHF/VHF for short comms in simplex mode, 30,40, 50, 60 miles. Repeaters will get better range but may not function in a in a SHTF situation.
Or you can go HF for the greater range. Don't forget the antenna, and antenna tuner, coax, power supplies and all the other ancillary equipment just to get started. Then you have to know how to put it all together and erect an antenna.
Amen to that

Police seek tips on gunman
TORRANCE -- State police today continued their search for a man suspected of killing a New Florence man who tried to rob him Saturday afternoon in Derry Township, Westmoreland County.
The victim, Michael Volk, died of gunshot wounds to the head, the Westmoreland County coroner's office confirmed this morning.
An autopsy performed Sunday showed no other signs of injury, said Chief Deputy Coroner Paul Cycak.
He declined to reveal how many bullet wounds Volk suffered.
Troopers at Greensburg said Volk was slain in a mobile home along Stone Quarry Road, and that three of his companions have been jailed because they knew of the robbery plan. They also have been charged with contributing to the killing.
The suspected shooter is a man known only as "Mitch." Troopers at the Greensburg station had no additional information this morning on the search for him.
Investigators said Volk, 24, arranged to meet and buy drugs from "Mitch" at 131 Stone Quarry Road, a mobile home rented by Jesus Santiago and Tiffany Blattenberger, and told them he planned to rob Mitch of his drugs and money.
Volk's girlfriend, Danielle Clawson, knew of the plan and drove Volk to the trailer, investigators learned.
According to an affidavit of probable cause, Blattenberger left the trailer with Clawson and returned about 1 p.m. Saturday to find Volk dead on the floor and Mitch armed with a chrome handgun.
Volk was found lying face up in a hallway with blood coming from the back of his head and from his ear, according to police.
Mitch held Blattenberger, Clawson and Santiago at gunpoint for one-half hour and demanded Blattenberger's cellphone, placed a call and left the residence in a red and maroon two-door car with an unknown driver, police wrote.
After gathering statements from Blattenberger, 22; Santiago, 42; and Clawson, 23, police charged each of them with criminal homicide, robbery and conspiracy to robbery, online court records show.
"The actions and/or inactions of Santiago, Blattenberger and Clawson directly and/or indirectly contributed to the death of the victim," police wrote in the affidavit.
Each has been lodged at Westmoreland County Jail; all were denied bail. They are scheduled to appear Jan. 9 for preliminary hearings in the Bradenville district court.
Police continued a search for Mitch, a black man standing about 5-feet-10, weighing 180 to 200 pounds, who has a chipped front tooth, according to a description issued by investigators.
Mitch last was seen wearing gray sweat pants, a gray hooded sweatshirt and a gray Oakland Raiders cap.
According to court papers, Blattenberger said Mitch had his hair done in dreadlocks.
After Mitch talked with someone on her phone, he fled the residence and climbed into the passenger side of a "sporty"-looking car that was low to the ground, and rode away toward Blairsville, Blattenberger told police.
While police listed Volk as a resident of New Florence, a page on the Facebook social network site, believed to have been posted by Volk, identified him as a graduate of Blairsville High School and a resident of Indiana.
Online court records show Volk had a record of criminal arrests dating to 2007 in Indiana and Armstrong counties.
Volk pleaded guilty to two counts of theft and one count each of criminal trespass and defiant trespass in December 2008 and was placed on two years of probation; in August 2009, he pleaded guilty to a felony count of theft and was ordered to serve two months to two years less one day in Armstrong County Jail.
In May and June of 2008, he pleaded guilty to a felony count of theft and a misdemeanor count of loitering and prowling in the Indiana County courts, and was ordered to serve nine to 23 months in jail and two years of probation.
The coroner's office reported no funeral home has been designated to handle arrangements for Volk.
Troopers asked anyone with information about the suspect to contact the Greensburg state police station at (724) 832-3288.

Leach gives your offense versatility. Caldwell just needs to be more creative with his I-formation scheme than Cameron was. When you get a lead in the fourth quarter, you still need to be able to crunch some clock sometimes. Leach helps you do that. There are still going to be teams that you will need to get physical with as well.
Leach is a guy you keep if your able to but sacrifice if you must. If letting go of Leach allows you to bring in a higher quality LT, DT then you have to do it IMO. If letting him go will not allow you to get another impact type guy at a position of need then you keep him.
Vonta is getting the 1.3 signing bonus money regardless of whether he plays or not, so that's not a factor. The 3m salary is the issue and I think something can be done there. Restructure/extend him at a bargain or let him go. They used him as a receiver a few times out of the backfield in an effort to use him outside of a blocker. Normally the defense avoids his hits so the idea of a DB running at him to initiate contact is my idea of fun.
Not a must keep, but he allows the offense to dictate to the defense when he is on the field. Seeing leach in the backfield helps with the play action fake. Drawing the defense up in anticipation of a run will most likely get one one coverage for the receivers. If he stays cheap, keep him. You know fans love a hard hitting fullback like Leach. Foster missed him these last two years.
You don't want to fall into the trap of being a finesse offense that lacks physicality when it is needed. The Ravens just beat up on a team like that in the AFC Championship Game.
I don't see any team that would value Leach more than us. I think he restructures.
Also, the Jets would probably be all over him, they'll have to be able to run the ball if they want another year with Sanchez as the starting QB. They'll need to be able to run with any other option anyway, Ryan Nassib, Geno Smith, or Matt Barkley, aren't day 1 refined passers like an RG3 or an Andrew Luck.
Our offense doesn't become finesse is Leach leaves. Especially considering he played less than 50% of the snaps this past season. Leach definitely adds a certain physicality, but I don't see our offense being finesse when we have guys like KO, Yanda, Oher and Pierce on offense.

Volcano Corporation (Nasdaq: VOLC), a leading developer and manufacturer of precision guided therapy tools designed to enhance the diagnosis and treatment of coronary and peripheral vascular disease, said today it has signed an agreement to acquire Crux Biomedical, a privately-held company that has developed a highly differentiated inferior vena cava (IVC) filter—the Crux VCF System—to treat pulmonary embolisms (PE's). Founded in 2004 and based in Menlo Park, California, Crux has received a CE Mark and 510(k) clearance for its Crux VCF System, an innovative IVC filter designed to facilitate bi-directional retrieval through either the femoral or jugular veins.
Under terms of the agreement, Volcano will pay $36.0 million in cash at closing, which is expected to occur within the next week, subject to a working capital adjustment and customary closing conditions. Volcano will also pay up to approximately $3.1 million in Crux transaction expenses. The merger agreement also provides for a potential post-closing cash milestone payment of $3.0 million upon FDA clearance of a 510(k) application submitted by Volcano on or before June 30, 2013, for a retrieval device currently being developed by Crux. In addition, Volcano may make additional cash payments for up to four years, based on sales of Crux products following their commercial launch. Volcano expects to initiate commercial sales of Crux products at the end of 2013 once full-scale manufacturing is implemented at its Rancho Cordova, California, facility. The company also plans to seek regulatory approval to market the Crux VCF System in combination with its IVUS (Intravascular Imaging) technology.
Pulmonary Embolism, which is caused by a migration of a large blood clot from the deep veins of the legs, affects 600,000 patients in the U.S. every year and results in an estimated 200,000 deaths annually. IVC filters, particularly those which can be retrieved, are an important tool in reducing PE risk for patients in whom anticoagulation is contraindicated or ineffective. The IVC filter market in the U.S. is estimated at approximately $300 million.
The Crux VCF System received CE Mark in December 2011 and 510(k) clearance in July 2012. The device has a unique helical design that self-centers and allows bi-directional retrieval through either the jugular or femoral vein. In the RETRIEVE 2, 3 and 4 pivotal clinical trials, which enrolled 125 patients at high risk for PE across 22 global sites, the Crux VCF System demonstrated both deployment and retrieval success at 98 percent with zero percent embolization, migration and fracture.
"We are delighted to be adding the novel Crux VCF System, as well as Crux's other pipeline devices, to our innovative product portfolio. Our ability to provide this type of cutting-edge therapy furthers our leadership in the delivery of precision guided therapy and symbolizes our continued evolution from an intravascular imaging company to one that provides a wide variety of diagnostic and therapeutic solutions," said Scott Huennekens, president and chief executive officer of Volcano.

Characterization of animal manures using mid-infrared photoacoustic spectroscopy
Bioresource Technology 101(15):6273 (2010) PMID 20338754
The feasibility of using Fourier transform mid-infrared photoacoustic spectroscopy (FTIR-PAS) for rapid characterization of animal manures was investigated. Animal manure samples were collected from various places in China, and probabilistic neural networks (PNN) and partial least squares (PLS) were initially applied in the qualitative and quantitative analysis of animal manures, respectively. The animal manures exhibited distinctive bands, specifically around 2900–3700 cm −1, 1200–1800 cm −1 and 500–1100 cm −1. There were numerous differences in the spectra of different animal manures, and manures were successful identified by PNN model; organic matter contents in animal manure were well predicted by PLS model, and the calibration coefficient ( R 2), validation error and RPD (ratio of standard deviation to predicted error) were 0.93, 2.38% and 2.58%, respectively, suggesting the potential application of FTIR-PAS for the fast characterization of animal manures.DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2010.03.010

Peter Andre has been keeping his fans guessing for a while but he's finally revealed the tot's new name….sort of.
The new dad was elated when his girlfriend Emily MacDonagh gave birth to a gorgeous baby girl earlier this month but so far the pair have refused to confirm the infant's title and moniker.
In his column for new! magazine this week Peter revealed that while they haven't yet chosen his second daughter's name, they do have a nickname for the little beauty.
He wrote:
"Last week I revealed one of my resolutions was to find a nickname for our baby girl. We're getting there but for now, it'll stay "Bista's sister"."
Andre returned to work this week and he's been busy shooting his brand new music video.
It's an exciting time for the star, who is finally getting another break in his pop career and he revealed:
"I shot the video for my new track Kid, which features on the upcoming DreamWorks film Mr. Peabody & Sherman at Waterloo studios
in London last week."
Peter added:
"The director Phil Griffin has worked with artists from Amy Winehouse to Jon Bon Jovi and Britney Spears, so it was really exciting."
"It was my first day back at work since the baby was born. Originally, my plan was to work all of January and have February off, but now the baby's here I want to space out my days off so I've got more time at home."
However all that working and parenting is taking it's toll and Peter didn't look so fresh when he met with photographers outside his home a few days ago.
He joked:
"You may have seen some pap shots of me last week looking really rough in my tracksuit. As you might expect, I'm not getting much sleep at the moment, but oddly, I'm not knackered. I'm just so excited. At the moment, I'm averaging six hours of broken sleep a night. And for me, that's not a lot."
Read Peter's full column in new! magazine. Out now.

Hey there,
My names Marc, 23, from Central Ohio. Currently stationed in Peoria Illinois via Active Duty U.S. Coast Guard.
I have a couple handguns, my first gun I ever (regrefully) purchased was a .40 Hi Point. The gun Is ridiculous, but I just wanted a cheap gun to keep accurate while off duty. The second gun I recently purchased is a Beretta 92 fs from Italy. I also have a lot of experience with the Sig P229, as it is the sidearm of the Department of Homeland Security.
Im definetly interested in getting a conceal and carry permit (doesnt seem possible in IL)

10 Famous Landmarks And Their Greatest Facsimiles
You don't have to worry if you haven't been to a national landmark because their replicas are usually more fun. Check out some amazing replicas we're dying to see in real life, and then go on your own journey with one of the new flavors of Campbell's Go™ soups.
1. Here Is The Statue Of Liberty In New York
What a beauty!
2. And Here's Part Of Her On Lake Mendota In Wisconsin
While running for student body presidents at the University of Wisconsin in 1978, two students promised that if elected, they would bring the Statue of Liberty to Wisconsin. So when they were, they made this replica out of papier-mâché and chicken wire and set it out on Lake Mendota. The structure still makes appearances in winter.
3. This Is The Capitol Building In D.C.
It's all business, as you can see.
4. And Here's The One At Legoland In California
Look at all those Lego people trying to agree on their Lego rights!
5. This Is Stonehenge In Wiltshire, UK
Archaeologists think it was constructed between 3000 BC to 2000 BC, so it's pretty mysterious.
6. And This Is Carhenge In Alliance, Nebraska
Carhenge is, you know…less so. It was built in June of 1987, and is comprised of 38 vintage American automobiles that were spray painted gray.
7. Presenting: The Tower of Pisa In Tuscany
It's located next to the Piazza del Duomo (which is known for it's medieval art collection), but many people visit the site to see the tower's "unintended" tilt to one side.
8. And Here's The Tower Of Pizza In Saugus, Massachusetts
This tilt (conveniently located next to something called "Route 1 North") is probably not as accidental.
9. The Great Sphinx In Giza
We all know this guy.
10. And Here's His Counterpart Made Out Of Sand
Nose still in tact
11. You've Seen The London Tower Bridge
No, this isn't the one that's falling down. That's a different bridge in London. As you can see, this one is very sturdy.
12. But How Solid Is This Mini One In Shenzhen, China?
It's just one of the 118 miniature replicas of historic landmarks that you'll find in the Window of the World theme park. And from the looks of things, only 2 people can walk across it at a time.
13. We All Know The Golden Gate Bridge In San Francisco
What a glorious opportunity to debate the difference between red and orange!
14. But Here's What It Would Look Like If It Were Made Out Of Toothpicks
Well, kinda
15. And We Can't Forget About The Parthenon In Athens
It's arguably one of the most beautiful temples in the world, as it was constructed way back 438 BC.
16. Or The One In Nashville, Tennessee
But if you can't afford a trip to Greece, the Parthenon replica in Nashville's got your back.
17. Obviously There's The Eiffel Tower In Paris, France
18. And This Lil' Lady In Paris, Texas
She's got a little sass in 'er, as you can see.
19. And Last But Not Least, Mount Rushmore Near Keystone, South Dakota
It's really quite marvelous. The pictures probably don't do it justice.
20. And here's George Washington in "Crossing the kitchen for Mayo."
Which is "more American?" You decide.

1) I'm angry because I was separated from my biological family. Adoption stimulates complex and at times seemingly contradictory emotions in me. I love my adoptive family, and yet, at the same time, I experience rage (and I mean actual rage -- I call it "the baby rage") at having been separated from my family of origin.
2) I'm angry that my original mother's name was erased from the official record. Amanda said it best: "We're talking about birth certificates here, not 'I'm the real parent' certificates." My adoptive mother is wonderful woman of many accomplishments, but giving birth to me is not one of them. Why does one of the primary official documents of my life say that she did so?
3) I'm angry because I was given a "script" for adoption that did not leave space for me to express my own experience. My parents are not malicious people. They didn't intend to silence me by telling me I was "chosen" or by way of their own reluctance to talk about adoption issues in unscripted ways, but that was the effect. It took me years to climb over the wall of silence and find my own voice.
4) I'm angry that the portrayal's of adoption that I frequently encounter in the media do not match my experience, nor that of many other adoptees, and yet, when we speak up to share our real-life experiences, we are often dismissed as being "angry."
5) I'm angry that I have to justify being angry. I didn't ask to be adopted. Anger isn't my whole experience of being adopted, but it is a piece of it. Why do some people seem to want me to deny or hide this piece of my truth?

Stephanie Bland was there when the unimaginable occurred in Boston on April 15, 2013.
Bland was approaching the finish line of the Boston Marathon when two pressure cooker bombs exploded 12 seconds apart on Boylston Street.
ôI got stopped at (mile) 26.1,ö recalled Bland, who has a tattoo on her right shoulder that reads, ôBe Not Afraidö to remember the incident. ôI was in between the bombs when they went off.ö
Bland, who lives in Oxford, won the inaugural Weekend Warrior Marathon Saturday afternoon with a time of three hours, 31 minutes and 35 seconds, thus qualifying her again for next yearĺs Boston Marathon.
ôI wanted to go back and run immediately after the incident,ö said Bland, who finished this yearĺs Boston Marathon with a time of 3:45.36. ôGoing back was awesome. I needed to do that. I didnĺt get to finish it and I knew that was something that would linger with me forever that I wasnĺt able to finish the marathon that I had waited my whole life to do.ö
Bland crossed the finish line of the 26.2-mile race in Armada ahead of Renee Cholyway (Warren, 3:32.12), Elizabeth Overbeek (Hamilton, 3:33.46), Stephanie Kapanowski (Southgate, 3:34.37), Sara Rybarczyk (New Baltimore, 3:38.42) and Amy Assemany (Novi, 3:43.40).
This was the first full marathon run in Macomb County with nearly 200 participants.
What made Bland panic even more was her three-month-old son Brady, husband, father and mother were there to watch her cross the finish line that day in Boston.
ôMy son was 200-feet away from the second bomb,ö Bland said. ôWe all had to go back this year and redeem ourselves and we did. It was awesome. And weĺre going back next year.ö
Three people were killed and over 250 were injured.
ôItĺs the most amazing race and then you turn the corner and it was one of the most awful experiences ever,ö Bland said. ôItĺs something no one should ever have to see.ö
When got around the corner, she went over to give them all hugs and was supposed to grab her son, but he was sleeping. From there she went to finish the race before getting halted abruptly.
ôThe first bomb went off in front of me and the second one went off right behind me,ö Bland said. ôI was stuck in the middle. Everyone was telling me to get down, get down, but I knew my son, my husband and everyone else was coming to the finish line. I was so scared something had happened I sprinted towards the opposite direction.ö
Bland never got to cross the finish line.
Blandĺs farther found her, grabbed her and took her to a secure place, blocking her head.
Her son, whoĺs now 16 months old, and husband, Brandon, were there to cheer her on Saurday as she crossed the finish line of her ninth marathon.
ôIĺm right off of Boston so I just got back and wanted to re-qualify, which I did,ö Bland said.
Bland runs about four to five marathons a year and also does triathlons.
ôRacing is so much fun,ö Bland said. ôI love having the support of my son and husband. Theyĺre my biggest cheerleaders.ö
Bland, 27, has never lost a triathlon in her age group (25-29), going five-for-five.

It seems as if I remember a lot of talk on the importance of proper cooling techniqes when baking cheesecakes. I make a 2 1/2 cupcake that was 7/8 baked properly and about 1/8 of it was a little wet on the bottom. They looked beautiful. I recall that some will shut off the oven and let the cakes cool that way. Problem for me the cakes on top rack bake a little quicker than those on the bottom rack. I would have to take the cakes on the top rack out and put them back in after @ 3-4 minutes so those on the bottom rack could bake properly. Can someone offer some pointers or point me in the direction of a good technique cook book.

I let a whole 9" cheesecake cool in the bain marie in the oven for about an hour. Where yours are small single serving, probably 20 minutes would do it? This helped a lot with cracking and such, but I had to reduce the cooking time a bit to compensate for the falling oven in the cool down period.
You might also swap your racks at the halfway point in cooking to help even out the cooking but with a cheesecake, that could cause it's own problems.

A waterbath with minimize cracking, but sometime yo will still get cracks.
Here's a trick to do "Plastic surgery" on those cracks. You won't get rid of them, but they will be far less noticeable.
Onnce the cake is cool, but not cold, lay a piece of cling film over the entire surface, and with your finger rub smooth the cracks. They will close up but still be there. Refrigerate the cake, and when cold, remove the film. Now you can "do" Cher.....

Hahaha, I love it. Thank you so much for the tip about cheesecake plastic surgery! I'm slowly getting into the business of selling cakes and this month I've been doing a lot of "showcase" cakes that are served at occasions where my potential customer base attends. So it's extremely important that the cakes look really good. Unfortunate that you can sell a cake that looks gorgeous and tastes like cardboard, but you cannot sell a cake that tastes wonderful but has cosmetic flaws.
I've gone through a lot of cheesecake recipes lately and I notice that the fluffier lighter variety (usually beating the egg whites separately) always includes instructions to cool it for several hours in the oven or even overnight before removing, whereas the recipes for dense New York style cheesecake never tell you to do anything special regarding cooling. Is there a reason behind that or is it just coincidence? I'm fascinated by food science.

I make a lot of cheesecakes, and to be honest, I don't think the cooling method has a thing to do with cheesecakes cracking.
First off, a water bath (bain marie) is a must. Not only does it enable you to bake with a more gentle,even heat, but it adds a great deal of humidity to the baking environment, and those conditions will result in a much creamier cheesecake - assuming your recipe is a good one.
So, cakes crack because they are baked at too high a temperature or for too long; because there has been too much air incorporated into the batter; and also because the pan is not well greased, causing the cake to stick to the sides of the pan as it attempts to shrink and pull away from the pan. But that big crack that people talk about, that Grand Canyon down the middle of the cake - IMO, that's from overheating.
When I bake a cheeecake, I use a conventional aluminum pan with 3" sides, well buttered and with a parchment round in the bottom (which is also well buttered). I prebake my cookie/nut crust for 10 minutes at 350F, then let it cool completely. As soon as the crust is out, I lower the oven temp to 320F. A lot of people probably feel 320F is too low, but when you consider that half the cake is sitting in a water bath and can't get any hotter than 212F (because water boils at 212F and can't get any hotter), setting the oven to a moist 320F keeps the entire cake at a more uniform temperature. So, the batter is made and poured into the pan containing the now cooled crust, then the pan is submerged in the water bath with the water reaching about halfway up the sides of the pan. Then the whole thing goes into the oven for about 1:30, until the edges are set but the center still jiggles.
Once done, the whole thing comes out, and then I remove the pan from the water and simply place it on a cooling rack until it's cool, about 2-3 hours. Then it's into the refrigerator for a minimum of 8 hours. When it's time to unmold the cake, I remove it and set it on a hot range burner for about 10 seconds, just long enough to melt the butter under the parchment. Then I warm a knife under hot water and then run it around the edge of the cake. I then place a cardboard round (you can use anything - just make sure to wrap it in Saran) over the pan, invert the pan and kind of drop it from a few inches onto the counter, to give it a little jolt. The cake should slide out as you lift the pan. If not, just repeat. Finally, place your plate on the now face-up crust and invert the cake once more so it's right side-up on your plate.
I know that's a lot to digest...I'll be around to discuss if anyone's interested. I enjoy de-mystifying the cheesecake process!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 20/8/2013 (1402 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
While most of us are trying to soak up the summer sun while we still can, for many of the top junior-aged players across Western Canada it's already time to say hello to hockey season.
With nearly a month to go before the start of the Western Hockey League regular season, a whopping nine teams begin training camp today in one form or another.
The next wave of players for the Kelowna Rockets, Moose Jaw Warriors, Portland Winterhawks, Saskatoon Blades, Seattle Thunderbirds, Spokane Chiefs, Swift Current Broncos, Tri-City Americans and Victoria Royals hits the ice today.
The Brandon Wheat Kings will take some extra time before putting their charges through the paces. Wheat King rookies will register for camp on Tuesday, with the first on-ice sessions beginning a week from today. The Wheat Kings will be among the last teams to begin main camp, with Brandon and the Prince Albert Raiders both putting their veterans to work on Aug. 30.
That later start is the norm for the Wheat Kings, who base their camp schedule on the starting date of the regular season and play a shorter pre-season than many teams with four tune-ups scheduled, while some choose to play as many as eight. In fact, by the time Brandon's rookies lace up their skates for the first time, the Warriors and Broncos will have already played one pre-season game.
So is there any advantage to the early start? Not based on last year's evidence.
Last season, the 10 teams that played five or fewer pre-season game wound up with a combined .571 winning percentage over the course of the regular season, while the 12 teams that played six or more times before the start of the season ended up at a .519 clip, with both sides boasting some elite teams and some clunkers.
The results were similar for the first couple of weeks of the regular season when logic would suggest those extra exhibitions would matter the most. The teams that played a shorter pre-season schedule rolled through the first four games of the regular season at .638, while those that spent a little more time fine-tuning their game went .531.
It's impossible to draw any firm conclusions out of one season's worth of evidence, but there's more than one way to run a hockey team and, it would seem, more than one way to hold a training camp as well.
AROUND THE WHL: Wheat Kings head coach/GM Kelly McCrimmon said veteran C Tyrel Seaman, who hasn't played since Nov. 18, 2012 due to concussion issues, won't be at training camp next week … The Red Deer Rebels have acquired D Spencer Morse, 18, from the Moose Jaw Warriors for a conditional pick in the 2016 WHL bantam draft. The 6-foot-4, 200-pound Calgarian had a goal, four assists and 90 penalty minutes in 46 games last season … The Everett Silvertips got some good news last week when they learned that Edmonton Oilers prospect Jujhar Khaira, 19, will be sent to their training camp by the NHL club. Chosen by the Oilers in the third round of last year's NHL entry draft, the Surrey, B.C., native decided to sign with Edmonton rather than return for his second season at Michigan Tech University.

Ill student falls through housing's cracks
Rinehart confident in reduced enrollment next year to ease housing crisis
While sophomore Alex Butta casually lounged in a folding chair, the florescent light in his Midrise suite bounced off his smoothly shaved head. The intimidating pirate flag hanging on the wall behind him could not compare to the eight-inch scar beginning at his left temple and ending at the base of his skull. "During the winter break of last year, I had a routine checkup with my doctor and they found that my brain tumor had grown to the size of a lemon, and that I needed to get immediate surgery," Butta said. "It would have lasted the entire month of January, at least, and because of that my doctors decided that I should not come back to Marist that semester, to just take it off."
Scratching at the fine bristles of hair poking through his scalp, a smile spread across his face. "In the end, it was for the best, because I had to get radiation and chemo," he said. "It's annoying," he added with a laugh.
Despite the fact that Butta is living in Midrise dormitory among other sophomores, he technically refers to himself as a second-year freshman. Fortunately for him though, at Marist College, the Department of Housing and Residential Life guarantees on-campus housing for all resident freshmen and sophomores. Or so he thought.
In the 2006-07 academic year, Butta's freshmen year, the college admitted about 1,100 applicants. Prior to that year, though, it only admitted 975 freshmen - a difference of 125 more resident students. Consequently, during the 2006-07 academic year, the Department of Housing and Residential Life had to place resident sophomores in housing typically reserved for upperclassmen, such as the Foy and New townhouses.
This year, the college scaled back the number of admitted applicants to 1,038. Still, that number is above 1,000, resulting in an imbalance of resident students and available housing.
"When they were saying on-campus housing, I was pretty much expecting maybe the worst of the freshmen dorms or something like that," Butta said. "But, of course, they never have leftovers."
"It's not by design," said Dean of Admission Kent Rinehart about the sudden population surge. "We have reduced the number of admits, at least for this past year."
In sharp contrast, the commuter population has increased this year by a margin of 60 percent according to Rinehart. "Recognizing the housing challenge that we have, we lowered the number of transfer residents we were admitting," Rinehart said.
However, predicting the number of freshmen applicants serious about Marist is a difficult estimate, according to Rinehart. "With the Internet now, it's kind of difficult to get a sense of what kids are really interested, which kids are not that interested," Rinehart explained. "For thirty to thirty-five percent of our applicants, their first contact with us is the application."
He later added, "They never went on a tour with us. We never met them at their high school. They never called up and said 'Mail me more information.'"
Describing the current housing situation as "very, very tight," Rinehart believes that any tension shall be relaxed by next year. "I feel very confident in saying that we are going to admit fewer students this year than we did this previous year in an effort to lower the resident number," he said.
By the 2008-09 academic year, the college will have built the Lower Fulton townhouses, capable of holding upwards of 260 residents, according to the Dept. of Housing and Residential Life.
Even so, Butta anticipated that the Department of Housing and Residential Life had made special accommodations for him after recuperating from chemotherapy. Fortunately, they did. Unfortunately, they were at the Marriott Residence Inn on Rt. 9 in Poughkeepsie, a full six miles away from campus.
"It's just not guaranteed," said Sarah H. English, the Director of Housing and Residential Life, about the availability of on-campus housing for resident students returning from a medical leave of absence. "They're told this by academic advising, who then report the leave to housing, and upon their return they are initially housed at the Inn until they can be accommodated more appropriately."
"Nobody," said English about the sophomore class, had been denied on-campus housing. Still, she also admitted it did not initially happen that way.
"We had a lot of sophomore spaces open up, particularly among females, this year," English said. Subsequently, almost all of the sophomores housed at the Inn were transferred onto campus right away.
"We [housing] would prefer to help those with transportation issues," English added.
"I don't have car. In fact, I don't even have a driver's license," Butta indicated. "I am blinded on the right sides of both eyes, so, it's going to take me sometime to get a car, if ever."
Yet, transportation issues aside, Butta also had to contend living with total strangers once again. "I was freaking out," Butta recalled, "Because, I was like, oh my God, people who didn't have enough priority points, rejects, and stuff."
"But, then of course, I didn't ever really think of the good side," he said. He often wondered, "Well, what if there are people just like me?"
In the end, Butta managed to find a last-minute opening with his friends in Midrise a week before the start of the semester. "It was hard enough, because with all of the surgery and stuff, it was really hard to talk to my friends anyway," Butta said. "Even just coming back here, I was already worried that all the friends I made had forgotten about me, which of course wasn't true."
Still, Butta is somewhat disappointed about the way housing handled his initial request. "They just told me that somehow my name, or slip, or whatever fell through somewhere and they just forgot about me and I ended up in the hotel," he said. "I was forgotten."
However, in spite of all that has happened, Butta is extremely happy that things eventually worked out the way they did. "This is my ideal of what I wanted to happen," he said. "When I heard about all the housing and how to get it freshmen year, being in Midrise was my number one choice."
Stretching, his eyes scanned the entire length of the room. "For that to come true was, like, wow," he said.

A nail salon is a business that offers nail enhancement services as well as in some cases skin care treatments and various other cosmetology oriented services to both men and women. Nail salons offer many services/treatments for your hands and feet including pedicures, manicures, nail repair, nail polish application,as well as various hand and foot treatments.
RI nail salons are staffed by highly trained and professional cosmetologists, estheticians, and nail technicians all specializing in various services/treatments.
A manicure is one of the most popular services that RI nail salons offer. A manicure is a cosmetic beauty treatment for you're hands and fingernails that consists of the filing and shaping of any nonliving tissue and the application of acrylic glaze on you're nails to strengthen and protect them. Some manicures include the beautification of you're nails in the form of designs being painted on or longer nail extensions being added at an extra price and of you're choosing. A pedicure is this same treatment just performed on your feet instead of your hands.
Another service many RI nail salons offer would be eyebrow threading. This is a treatment falling more so under the cosmetology aspect of the business and consists of the very precise shaping of eyebrow hair to you're preference. The thing that sets threading apart from plucking is that threading can uproot multiple hairs at the follicle level simultaneously wile plucking can only uproot one singular hair at a time. The "thread" that is used for this treatment is usually made of polyester or cotton.
One more treatment some RI nail salons offer that not many people are aware of is paraffin wax. Paraffin wax is a fast acting treatment that involves coating certain areas of your body in the wax such as your hands or feet for pain relief for ailments such as arthritis, or to help heal dry and cracked skin.

My Website: bRii's faCebO0k page! *aDD me!!My MM URL: http://www.modelmayhem.com/bellabrixO
Mayhem # 2533213
About Mehi every one, I'm Brianna, but call me Bri or Bella... which ever you prefer. Thanks for stopping by my mayhem page! =]
I'm an experienced model looking for paid work to help pay for college to become a nurse. ****i DO NOT pay photographers to shoot with me,
i am ONlY interested in doing TFP's or PAiD shoots.**** S0RRY!, but
thanks anyway. My rates are reasonable. For ***NUDES***, it is PAiD ASSiGNMENTS ONLY and i will clearly expect more per hour, unless it was agreed to otherwise before the shoot
My main goal is to expand / add to my portfolio, as well as making money while having fun and learning new things, because i believe i learn something new to strengthen and improve my modeling from every shoot i take part in. I'm all about taking risks and trying something new. i love to be photographed and just enjoy modeling in general, its a hobby and a way to relax and have some fun at the same time. Right now i'm turning a dream into reality.
I'm ridiculously outgoing and down to earth, friendly and just a pleasure to work with all together and my personality definitely shines right through in the pictures. You can tell my mood right away just by looking at me and i have a very powerful stare. I can talk to you just by looking at you, & its LOUD and CLEAR :)
I have a great sense of humor and everyone tells me i'm really funny so i like to think that's true. haha I talk AL0T. I can be a little shy within the first few minutes of meeting you, or when you put me on the spOt, but after 5 minutes... GO0DLUCK getting me to shut up! ;] I lOve to be the center of attention and in the spOt light! I always keep myself busy doing something or another, all different types of things. I'm a Certified Medical Assistant, Certified Phlebotomist (drawing blood) and a certified Pharmacy Technician, so i'm also really smart and can sometimes be nerdy. After i'm done with college i aspire that i'll be a Nurse Practitioner, but for now i just model, while working another job at a restaurant, all while going to college :D .
I'm open to do all different kinds of shoots and will work with all different types of photographers and would love to collaborate with other models as well, I love meeting new people and love being a part of all types of different concepts and themed shoots. I know how to have fun & be playful yet know when it's time to be serious & professional.
I enjoy working with open minded and outgoing photographers because it is easiest for me to get comfortable which makes for a fantastic shoot. I like to take tasteful and classy yet, wild and crazy pictures that become all mixed together to create one AMAZiiNG shoot! They say twO is AlWAYS better than 1; therefore, I AlSO lOVE to do shO0ts with other mOdels, and sometimes friends of mine who also model and are on the same level of risk-taking and comfortability in front of the camera and in their own skins to avoid uncomfortable and awkward situations (i despise awkward situations, it ruins the whole vibe & connection between you and the photographer and generally the whole shoot, but i'm great at avoiding them and dealing with them as well.). It's just fun to sometimes do collaborations with other models and meet new people. But, I also strongly feel that it helps me become more comfortable with the photographer, especially if i'm shooting for the first time. Don't get me wrong i lOVE shooting sOl0 as well when i get to know you and are more comfortable working with you, if we've never shot together before.
If your interested in booking me for a shoot, PlEASE! ..D0NT BE SHY! & contact me with more info to get things started :) If you made it to the end of this, then BRAVO & THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking time out of your busy days to read ALL ABOUT BRiii! :P i look forward to working with you! xO STAY BEAUTiFUL!
MUCH lOVE; bEllA

quadrupled the pressure
, which (other factors excluded) has multiplied the drag on the pump by at least a factor of 16 -
and that is simply from the oil pressure.
That doesn't take into consideration the exponential increases in friction on the driveshaft, the drive gear on the cam, and the gerotor friction inside the pump.
People say the same thing about alternators because they spin so freely. Put a load on them and spin them to 5000 rpms and then see how freely they spin.
Oil pumps take considerable HP to run. Otherwise, why would manufacturers use a heat-treated chrome-moly 3/8" shaft to drive it?
Just a side note.
As for people spinning 6000 rpm on cold oil..... yes I have seen a few retards in action. LOL
4000 to 6000 rpm will NOT quadruple the pressure, nor the volume.
Oil pressure is controlled by a spring loaded pop off valve, which controls not only the pressure maximum but the overall volume pumped into the galleries.
Bypassing only reroutes the output to the input side of most of the pumps.
I know that SBC are notorious for poor oil pressure, hoping for at least 10 psi per thousand rpm,
but most pumps have pressure springs set around 55 psi. maximum, which "should" be reached well before 5500 rpm. I have seen many that hit 55 psi at 3000 rpm with hot oil.
(Thos of you who have a Ford, yours probably idles with 55 psi hot
IMO most shafts fatigue and twist off do to harmonic pulsations, not "oil pressure" that somehow? spikes to a million pounds and twists it off.
Dyno tests show that 60 amps draw on an alternator pulls 1 1/2 hp beyond the mechaincal load, which, I do not know how much power it takes to turn an alternator at 5000, do you?
JMO Thanks for the reply.

Tony is worried about his hearing. His wife complains that his TV programs are too loud, and in crowded, noisy restaurants he can't hear what the person next to him is saying. Tony wants to find out what's wrong and if anything can help him. If you or anyone in your family is having trouble hearing, make an appointment for a hearing test. Today, there are a variety of devices that can improve your hearing.
See your doctor [1] if you:
Hearing loss can have many different causes. Here are two kinds of hearing loss common in older people:
Presbycusis (prez-bee-KYOO-sis) is a common type of hearing loss that comes on slowly as a person gets older. It seems to run in families and affects hearing in both ears. The degree of hearing loss varies from person to person. Are you starting to have trouble hearing someone on the phone? That could be an early sign of this type of hearing loss.
Tinnitus (tin-NY-tus or TIN-u-tus) causes a ringing, roaring, or hissing noise in your ear. Tinnitus can go hand-in-hand with many types of hearing loss. It can also be a sign of other health problems, such as high blood pressure [2] or allergies. Often it is unclear what causes tinnitus, which may come and go, disappear quickly, or be permanent.
Loud noise is one of the most common causes of hearing loss. Noise from lawn mowers, snow blowers, or loud music can damage the inner ear. This can result in permanent hearing loss. You can prevent most noise-related hearing loss. Protect yourself by turning down the sound on your stereo, television, or headphones; move away from loud noise; or use earplugs or other ear protection.
Ear wax or fluid buildup can block sounds that are carried from the eardrum to the inner ear. If wax blockage is a problem, try using mild treatments, such as mineral oil, baby oil, glycerin, or commercial ear drops to soften ear wax. A punctured eardrum can also cause hearing loss. The eardrum can be damaged by infection, pressure, or putting objects in the ear, including cotton-tipped swabs. See your doctor if you have pain [3] or fluid draining from the ear.
Viruses and bacteria, a heart condition [4], stroke [5], brain injury, or a tumor may affect your hearing. If you have hearing problems caused by a new medication [6], check with your doctor to see if another medicine can be used.
Sudden deafness is a medical emergency that may be curable if treated in time. See a doctor right away.
Your family doctor may be able to diagnose and treat your hearing problem. Or, your doctor may refer you to other experts. For example:
Hearing aids. Hearing aids are electronic, battery-run devices that make sounds louder. There are many types of hearing aids. Before buying a hearing aid, ask if your health insurance will cover the cost. Also ask if you can have a trial period so you can make sure the device is right for you. An audiologist or hearing aid specialist will show you how to use your hearing aid.
Hearing aids should fit comfortably in your ear. You may need several visits with the hearing aid specialist to get it right. Hearing aids may need repairs, and batteries have to be changed on a regular basis. Remember, when you buy a hearing aid, you are buying both a product and a service.
Assistive devices. Other products can also help improve your hearing:
Cochlear implants. These electronic devices are for people with severe hearing loss. They don't work for all types of hearing loss.
Here are some tips you can use when talking with someone who has a hearing problem:
Many people develop hearing problems as they grow older. Today, there are many ways to improve your hearing. The best way to handle the problem is to find professional help as soon as you notice you are having trouble hearing.

Cristo Rey on 60 Minutes
Cristo Rey Network video "Transforming Urban American One Student at a Time"
Upcoming Events
Cristo Rey Jesuit High School never should have opened. Wise and cautious people with lots of experience should have explained to the school's founders, the Chicago Province Jesuits, that their audacious plan for opening a college preparatory high school for low income students in one of Chicago's toughest neighborhoods simply wouldn't work. Detractors, who repeatedly pointed out that no school like this had ever succeeded, should've been able to convince them not to even bother trying. Those naysayers, after all, were right. No school like this had succeeded. In fact, no school like this had even been attempted. The Jesuits, though, weren't swayed. They saw a need and believed this unconventional approach to education was their best shot at responding to the need. They were right. The school they started has changed the trajectory of the lives of countless students and sparked a resurgence in inner-city Catholic education in the United States. Their work is inspiring proof that a small group of people can change the world.
More than a Dream
tells the incredible story of the school they created and how it has changed the lives of four of its students.

text: I agree that poor customer support is not specific to Tivo. One only has to call their local cable company to confirm that. Saying all companies offer poor customer support is not an excuse to offer poor support. I made one suggestion that I said would be a huge timesaver for everyone, would result in a huge cost savings for Tivo in terms of wasted phone support time, and would take very few resources to put in place create an organized list of Known Issues (like the Gmail example I gave earlier) that was easily accessible on tivo.com for everyone to see. That way, someone wondering why they were getting two recordings every time they padded a season pass recording wouldn't have to call up phone support, post to a forum, read through a VP's Twitter feed, or search through hundreds of support articles on tivo.com to know that it was a known problem being worked on. They wouldn't have to fight with Level 1 phone support to make sure it got reported to Level 2 support to make sure that they knew about it.
