East Portland Historic Survey Project
The Bureau of Planning and Sustainability recently completed an historic building survey in East Portland neighborhoods, as part of a small grant from the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). The focus was on "Mid-Century" residential areas developed from 1935-1965, a period when East Portland experienced considerable growth and change. The survey project focused on the neighborhoods of East Portland generally east of 82nd Avenue.
Historical surveys are the first step to understanding the architectural character and historic development of an area. East Portland is a special and complex part of the city, and its history, landscapes, and development differ in many ways from Portland's urban core and inner-ring neighborhoods. Much of East Portland was developed in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s, when new architectural styles and building forms were introduced. Styles such as the Ranch House, Split-level, and "Mid-Century Modern" became popular, for example. Those styles and forms were the focus of this survey project.
A team led by a consulting firm, Historic Preservation Northwest (HPNW), photographed buildings to determine their age, style, and characteristic features. Approximately 600 properties were surveyed, grouped in clusters in neighborhoods. The clusters were selected to represent a range of development eras and patterns, architectural types and styles of construction that were prevalent from 1935-1965. The survey was selective due to the large size and diversity of the study area. Most of the properties surveyed were single-family residences, although some commercial buildings constructed during the 1935-1965 development period were also included.
The survey results will provide the City with baseline historic resource data for future preservation planning and policy work in the project area and increase our knowledge of mid-century resources in Portland. In addition to the survey data, the project includes a final report with information about architectural styles and development patterns and other historical research. East Portland residents and others who are interested in the area's historical development will find this report interesting.
The report, Modern Historic Resources of East Portland: A Reconnaissance Survey, is available to view or download by selecting the link below. For more information, contact Liza Mickle at 503-823-7666.

Apple's latest mobile operating system update introduces a much-demanded feature: wireless printing. Problem is, it will only officially print from printers labeled "AirPrint-compatible," which you likely don't own. However, if you want to print from just about any printer, there's a mod for that.
AirPrint Hacktivator offers a solution for Macs to set up wireless printing with iOS 4.2 with any printer shared on your network. Here's how to set it up, with instructions courtesy of the hack's maker, Netputing.
You will need:
- Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.5
- iTunes 10.1 (if you have neither, select the Apple icon in the upper-left corner of your screen and click "Software Updates" to download the latest software.
- iOS 4.2.1 on an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad (click "Check for Updates" in iTunes if you don't have the latest iOS.)
- AirPrint Hacktivator [.zip]
1. Copy the AirPrint Hacktivator software into your Applications folder, then launch the app.
2. Toggle the switch to "ON."
3. Enter your admin password.
4. A window will prompt you to add the printer you want to use with AirPrint.
5. The hack will launch the Print & Fax utility in your Settings folder, and you'll be able to perform the add-printer task here.
6. And you should be ready to start printing!

Baptize did not originate with the LXX. The Hebrews who translated the OT text into Greek chose a greek word to describe what happened to Joseph's coat. Dipped is immersed and does carry the meaning of to dye in the original. The usage of the word in English is confused by those who transliterated the word rather than translating it as immerse. Sprinkling is not immersion. The New Testament writers (apostles and prophets) used the word in every context to indicate an immersion or complete burial or overwhelming in the element whether it be fire, water, spirit, or cloud. Immersion is affirmed in John's Baptism when he was doing so where there was much water and fully described in Acts 8:27-37 in the baptism of the Ethiopian. Fire and Spirit immersion are two elements described by John in Matt 3:11. In one sprit would be good in the other fire is not good as it refers to eternal fire of hell. Baptism of repentance for remission of sins was introduced by John and Jesus commanded the apostles to take that action of immersion in His name (authority) as the initiatory obedience for believers in the gospel preached. Baptism had nothing to do with Judaism or Judaizers who bound the Law with circumcision. Being born again of water and spirit is the conversion of a sinner to salvation in Christ where one is cleansed by his blood and receives every spiritual blessing. Gal 3:26-27 and Romans 6:3-5 show clearly that one is immersed into Christ. Once dead, buried and raised to walk in newness of life having put on Christ. Sincerely, Donald Raby
Yes... Judiasm was a problem back them.. the Jewish christians were losing their exclusive identity and were struggling with how to admit gentiles into the new fledgling christian faith.Besides, John the baptism foretold that water baptism was only a temporary rite... did he lie?
When we become Christians now, we are baptized with fire and the Holy Spirit.. not water.
"necessary for salvation" is where this discussion always gets hung up. The bottom line is, though, that to be an obedient and faithful disciple of Jesus, you must be baptized. He commanded it. Therefore, an unbaptized disciple, refusing to be baptized, is by definition disobedient. Why would a believer choose to stay in such a state?"Only he who believes is obedient and only he who is obedient believes.
John 3:16 (no water required)

Forrester has made a series of downward revisions to its IT market forecasts in 2008 and early 2009. And according to my colleague Andy Bartels' latest analysis - "US And Global IT Market Outlook: Q2 2009" -there is more weakness ahead. Due largely to the breakdown of the financial system and the resulting credit crunch, steep drops in the purchases of equipment, software, and IT services during Q4 2008, Q1 2009, and probably Q2 2009 mean that purchase levels are close to hitting bottom. Forrester predicts that the latter part of 2009 will see:
Posted by Sharyn Leaver on July 8, 2009
Some recent buzz in the industry would have you believe that "SOA is dead," but that just isn't the case — SOA is far from being dead, outdated, or irrelevant. In fact, its use and influence are still growing. A recent Forrester survey indicates that 75% of Global 2000 organizations will be using SOA by the end of 2009. 60% of current users are expanding their use of SOA, and a substantial number recognize SOA's strategic business value and are using it on a sizable portion of their solution delivery products.
Stories of less-than-successful results may dent its reputation, particularly in today's climate of pessimism and uncertainty, but when done right SOA has the potential for broad-reaching positive impact on the enterprise. Instead of getting caught in the hype or jumping ship on their SOA efforts, CIOs should keep in mind that:

This article will describe the installation process for the IPD Competition Plenum and GT3 throttle body, and contrast those parts with the stock and standard IPD plenums and throttle bodies.
The stock Porsche plenum bifurcates the flow just behind the 75mm throttle body, and uses a flapper valve to adjust intake manifold resonances to improve low-rpm power. Some high-rpm power is sacrificed by the restriction to the flow imposed by the flapper valve, but Porsche was evidently willing to accept that loss in order to improve low-rpm power.
The IPD plenums eliminate the flapper valve, and the restriction to the flow that the flapper valve provides at high-rpm's. Also, the IPD plenums utilize a "Y" design to smoothly split the flow towards the left and right cylinder banks. This patented design feature is intended to provide better flow than the factory "T" design. The improved engine power than can be obtained with the IPD plenums has been documented by several independent dyno tests.
An extensive, and often lively, discussion of the original IPD plenum is here New IPD Plenum for CS, and some dyno test results are here Dyno'd my Cayman S before and after an IPD plenum install and here Dyno run with and without plenum.
IPD has recently developed a new "Competition" plenum that is designed to work with a GT3 throttle body Cayman S Competition Plenum and GT3 throttle body. The GT3 throttle body is 82mm in diameter, instead of 75mm for the factory throttle body. The increased diameter of the GT3 throttle body, and the matching plenum, are intended to provide increased performance for cars that have better overall engine breathing from a free-flow exhaust and other engine mods such as the EVOMS intake (see EVO V-Flow Air Intake Installation).
A comparison of the the standard factory throttle body (on the left) with the GT3 throttle body (on the right) that is supplied with the IPD Competition plenum is shown below:
This photo compares the base IPD plenum (on the left) with the new Competition plenum (on the right)
The installation of the Competition plenum is very straightforward, and is in all respects identical to the installation procedure for the base plenum. Excellent installation instructions are available here http://sb4.shread.net/cayman/IPD%20C...structions.pdf. I do have a few suggested improvements to these instructions:
First of all, DISCONNECT YOUR BATTERY! If the IPD plenum accidently touches your starter then the car will crank, and this will probably NOT be A Good Thing.
0. In the list of tools, it is better to use the correct E10 external Torx socket than the ill-fitting 8mm socket cited in the instructions. See External Torx socket set.
1. Do not use a screwdriver to pry up the carpet on top of the engine cover as described in the instructions. Instead, use the interior trim tools described here Interior Trim Removal Tools.
2. On the 4th page there is a photo of the factory plenum. Underneath the picture is a caption that says "For reference, the plenum, removed, is pictured top-down above." The "top-down" comment makes no sense to me at all. The photo shows the factory plenum in the same orientation that it is installed on the engine.
9. In step 9 the instructions say that the vacuum hose that is attached to the flapper valve actuator should be pulled off. This can be very difficult or impossible. It is better to simply cut this hose. The hose can be easily spliced back together if there is ever a need to return the car to stock. There is a good chance that something will get damaged from the excessive force required to try and pull the hose off the actuator as called-for in the instructions.
12. Use the E10 external Torx socket here instead of the ill-fitting 8mm socket.
20. The discussion about the "elbow grease" needed for the hose connection is obsolete. The new IPD hoses fits PERFECTLY, and you'll have no trouble with it at all.
That's it. Other than these comments the downloadable instructions provide an excellent step-by-step procedure. I had no difficulty with the installation at all.
Here is a photo of the new Competition plenum installed:
Note that there is an improved "MotorSports" vapor-oil separator installed on my engine (Installation of Improved Vapor Oil Separator), and so the connection of the hose from the VOS to the plenum is slightly different than normal.
I don't trust my butt-dyno, and so I'll defer to the previously-cited dyno results as indicators of the performance gains provided by the new Competition plenum. The car certainly runs very strong!

Snapshots Of A Beautiful Jersey Afternoon!
After all the days of rain we've had lately (thanks, Alan Kasper), what a beautiful afternoon in the great Garden State!Its sunny…its 80 degrees and the stars and stripes (flags) are flapping in the breeze…so I drove the "back roads" in to New Jersey 101.5! Windows down, Jersey's Favorite Hits cranked UP (thanks, Big Joe!). I enjoyed my drive, probably as much as those I saw on their bicycles. Or, out for a walk! I saw several classic cars (a dark green '58 Chevy, and a Gold '60s VW Beetle within 3 cars of each other). Others with their tops down (convertibles, you dirty mind!). And those on their choppers (Harleys). And, how could I forget to mention the 2 cute blonde "tween" girls smiling and waving to everyone passing by their front yard lemonade stand in Hopewell Township (Mercer County).
Enjoy your afternoon….and crank up the HITS on New Jersey 101.5 and nj1015.com!
What did you see people doing this afternoon, while enjoying the "summer" sun! Comment below!

Let's hope the Salt Lake Bees kept some of the celebratory champagne on ice.
After clinching the Pacific Northern Division title earlier this week, the Bees had reason to pop out the leftover bubbly as Nick Gorneault became the franchise's all-time top home run hitter Thursday night against Fresno.
Gorneault's home run in the bottom of the first inning was his 60th for Salt Lake. While the team celebrated, Gorneault seemed more focused on downing some postgame food after the Bees' 5-4 win over Fresno.
"It was cool," he said. "It was nice that they announced it [the record]."
Bees manager Brian Harper was more impressed, and not just by Gorneault's swinging.
"He's had a great second half of the season," said Harper. "He does so many other things than just hit."
In Thursday's game, the Bees improved to 5-11 against the Grizzlies, thanks to solid hitting to start the game and some sloppy handling of early grounders by Fresno.
The Bees' Terry Evans stole two bases in the first to jumpstart the offense.
"Terry is a big guy that can run," said Harper. "He just has a knack for picking the right time."
Gorneault's record hit and Brandon Wood's homer also contributed to the Bees' five runs in the inning.
The Salt Lake defense, led by Los Angeles Angels rehab pitcher Bartolo Colon, held Fresno scoreless until the fifth by allowing only three hits in the first four innings.
If it wasn't for the Bees scorching first inning, however, the outcome would have been much different, as Fresno pitcher Matt Kinney allowed no more runs.
"[Kinney] is a great pitcher," said Harper. "With Matt, you've got to knock it out early."
Fresno's William Bergolla's triple in the fifth led to a three-run inning for Fresno. Thomas de la Rosa hit a sacrifice fly in the eighth to bring in Justin Leone and make the score uncomfortably close for Salt Lake.
Ogden 5, Orem 3 (11): Elian Herrera led off the 11th inning with a homer and Matthew Wallach singled in a run to lead the Raptors over the Owlz at Orem.

Eden Gardens Weddings
Moorpark, California 93021
Phone: 805/208-3098
We'd love it if you would mention that you found Eden Gardens Weddings on the Here Comes The Guide website.
Why We Like This Place
Wanted: True Romantics to wed in fragrant garden paradise. Must love the sounds of flowing water and birdsong. Desire for unique celebration with family and friends a definite plus!
Equal parts enchanted forest and tropical oasis with a large helping of event-friendly amenities, Eden Gardens is two acres of "wow" from your first step inside the private gates. An arched entryway beckons you deep into fairyland. Lush, meandering paths canopied in greenery yield surprises at every turn: a waterfall that feeds a running brook…vintage birdcages aglow with luminarias…urns brimming with blooms…a covey of wedding-white peacocks. Down one walkway, you'll find yourself among a series of fantastical aviaries alive with sound and color. Vivid parrots engage in friendly chatter (Arturo se habla espanol!), while lovebirds and rosy-cheeked cockatiels trill a sweet serenade. A clearing serves as a pre-event welcome station, where guests quaff lemonade amid the fluttering of doves' wings. And you haven't even arrived at the ceremony site yet!
Couples have their choice of 3 scenic spots. One of our favorites is the Ceremonial Garden. A series of twinkle-lit archways entwined with blush-pink Eden roses leads to a breathtaking vision: a picturesque pond dotted with blooming lily pads and fountain sprays. Spread along the bank, a pair of manicured lawns flanks a spacious stage which is elevated to allow views of the bridal couple from every angle. Behind them, an uplit waterfall cascades around a classical statue; in front of them, the sunset's reflection turns the pond into a scintillating waterscape. "Dreamy" doesn't begin to describe this storybook setting.
The myriad of photogenic backdrops lures the wedding party away during the social hour, but guests won't mind—they're busy exploring the several pondside terraces set with cocktail tables. As evening descends, your gathering moves on to the open-air Amphitheater, a cut-stone floor with a low, colorfully lit waterfall along the perimeter. Overhead, market lights merge with the starscape for maximum magic. A raised demilune stage that looks as if it was made of alabaster is perfect for showcasing the sweetheart table and wedding cake or your entertainment.
Down a nearby path, the lofty whitewashed Pavilion, adorned with flower baskets, has the feel of an open-sided barn. A dollhouse porch off to one side is a fun spot to serve late-night snacks or the wedding cake.
With so many delights competing for your attention, it's easy to overlook Eden Gardens' practical enhancements. For example, an abundance of specialty lighting accentuates the nighttime glamour of each fountain and event area, and many of the tree trunks are wrapped with twinkle lights. Your choice of music fills the air, thanks to a sound system discreetly wired throughout the grounds.
Eden Gardens' chosen caterer, Command Performance, is "Certified by The Guide." Experienced and caring with an expert staff, the company boasts a knowledgeable catering coordinator as well as chefs who specialize in exciting food station receptions and theme menus. Their wedding packages offer both convenience and flexibility, and customization is welcome.
For true romantics, Eden Gardens will be love at first sight, but anyone who appreciates natural beauty and exceptional services will fall under its spell.

Re: Attach frequency list to a list of fourier tranformed numbers
Hi, Raymond
Your question:
How do I attach the actual frequency values to a list of numbers
transformed using the Fourier[list] command?
My answer:
Here's what I do.
Actually the answer depends on what the initial data mean. Let's suppose
we're in time domain, and that you have sampled a waveform over an
interval T with sampling time Ts, that is you have the values at t=
0,Ts,2Ts,...,kTs,..(n-1)Ts. (henceTs=T/n) The frequencies associated
are f=1/T and fmax=1/Ts. Your Fourier transformed data will span an
interval fmax wide with step f. But, beware!, your spectrum is folded,
so you will go with the "real" values from frequency 0 to frequency
fnyq=fmax/2 and from then on (fnyq to fmax) you'll have a folded copy
of the first part.
To associate the frequencies to the spectrum we need to know either the
sampling time Ts or the interval duration T, but let's start with the
continuous signal of frquency 2 Hz
f[t_]:=Sin[ 2Pi 2t ]
data=Table[ { t , f[t]+0.Random[Real,{-.5,.5}]}, {t,0,5,5/255} ];
(incidentally, powers of two are what Fourier crunching motors do
Let's scorporate time values from signal values
trange=#[[1]]&/@data; signal=#[[2]]&/@data;
the interval duration and the sampling interval are
T=(Max[trange]-Min[trange])// N ; Ts=T/Length[trange//N ;
frequency will vary from 0 to 1/Ts in 256 steps 1/T wide
Now we calculate the Fourier transform of the 256 point data
and finally we put the frequency data together
Try this to see that indeed your spectrum shows two peaks at 2Hz and at
49.2 (that is 51.2-2) Hx.
The value at 51.2 is 1/Ts, while 2 is the frequency of the sinusoid we
used to build our data set
In case you prefer it you can even unfold your spectrum so to show the
components at negative frequencies, spanning from -fnyq to +fnyq. But
at this point it's quite straightforward.
What worries me is that to do this in general, *I think*, you'll have to
discern between the case with an even number of points and an odd
number, and worst still you need to know wether frequency 0 is
comprised in the data set or not (-1,0,1,... or -1.5,-0.5,0.5,1.5,..).
So I, too, have a question for the newsgroup: is there a simple and
straigthforward method to unfold the spectrum regardless of this
Hope that helps.

A U.S. law enforcing privacy rules for RFID (radio frequency identification) isn't needed because companies experimenting with the technology are committed to protecting privacy, two such corporations told a U.S. House subcommittee Wednesday.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. continues to move forward with plans for case- and pallet-level tagging of products with RFID chips, but most item-level tagging, where individual products are identified with RFID chips, is about 10 years away, Linda Dillman, executive vice president and chief information officer of Wal-Mart, told the House Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade and Consumer Protection.
But others in the hearing noted Wal-Mart conducted product tests on lipstick in an Oklahoma store in early 2003. Representative Jan Schakowsky, an Illinois Democrat, questioned if consumers were adequately warned of the lipstick tests. With the potential to use RFID chips in passports and other government identification, as well as consumer products such as clothing, the misuse of RFID tracking raises "seriously Orwellian concerns," she said.
"Soon we could have Big Brother and big business tuning into the same frequency, where not only will they know where you are, but what you're wearing," Schakowsky added.
Privacy advocates told the committee legislation is needed to protect consumers from potential uses of RFID. Three privacy advocates testifying Wednesday offered few current examples of privacy concerns caused by RFID, but as the range of RFID scanning grows beyond the current 10 to 20 feet (305 to 610 centimeters), RFID could allow corporations and governments to track people's movements and purchases, they said. RFID uses small computer chips and antennas that are integrated into a paper or plastic label. Those chips can then be read by an electronic scanner.
A United Nations-affiliated group, the International Civil Aviation Organization, is already developing global standards for passports that include RFID chips, with the group looking for a chip that could be read up to a meter away, said Barry Steinhardt, director of the Technology and Liberty Program for the American Civil Liberties Union. In the hands of a dictatorial government, RFID-chipped passports or other identification could be used to track visitors to the country or identify attendees of a political rally, Steinhardt said.
Such uses of RFID could create "a whole new surveillance regime," Steinhardt added.
Users of RFID defended it, however, saying its range was too small and its cost too prohibitive to use on most consumer products. The Wal-Mart test on lipstick had the RFID tags on large packages, not individual products, said Sandra Hughes, global privacy executive for The Proctor & Gamble Co., Wal-Mart's partner in the test. Consumers were notified of the RFID test, and although the lipstick display was monitored by a Web cam, the purpose was to track the supply of lipstick, not consumers, Hughes said.
Hughes and other defenders of RFID said the technology has great potential to lower supply chain costs, reduce theft and counterfeiting, improve the rate of products being in stock and even track livestock diseases.
With RFID chips in the ears of cattle, livestock sold could be tracked within hours instead of the weeks it can take to track down a paper-based sale, said John Molloy, managing director of ViaTrace LLC, a maker of tracking technologies. The U.S. is out front of the rest of the world in experimenting with RFID, he said, and the use of RFID could end threats of diseases like so-called Mad Cow disease.
"This is the opportunity (for the U.S.) to lead the world in traceability," Molloy said.
But safeguards are needed so that the potential of RFID is not misused, privacy advocates said. Witnesses at the hearing disagreed about what kind of legislation is needed, however, with the Electronic Privacy Information Center calling for RFID-specific legislation, and the Center for Democracy and Technology repeating its call for general privacy legislation that would cover all kinds of technologies.
When Representative Darrell Issa, a California Republican, suggested that legislation should focus on what companies and government agencies do with the information they collect, instead of what technology is used to collect the information, Paula Bruening, staff counsel for the Center for Democracy and Technology, agreed. Recent debates over a House spyware bill showed how difficult it is to legislate based on specific technologies, she added.
"You end up with a better result if you have baseline privacy legislation that focuses on the information itself," Bruening said. "If we had that kind of baseline law, we could avoid a lot of those tortured conversations that go on about what falls in and what falls outside of the line."
Hughes, of Proctor & Gamble, said legislation is premature because companies are being responsible about data collection. Her company retains consumer data only as long as necessary, she said. In the case of a product sale, the company keeps the data only long enough to complete the transaction, but in the case of an opt-in customer newsletter, the company retains the data as long as the consumer is subscribed.
Wal-Mart's Dillman also opposed RFID-specific legislation. "We don't believe that data collected by RFID should be different," she said. "We believe there should be a single standard."
Instead of a law, Congress should encourage companies to follow privacy guidelines developed by private groups such as EPCglobal Inc., Dillman said.

Junior teams suspended over weekend brawl
A junior football league in Melbourne's north-west has suspended two clubs for a week while it investigates a brawl at an Under-12s match last weekend.
The Riddell District Football League has ordered the Rockbank and Diggers Rest junior football clubs not to field teams this weekend.
Parents of children playing for the clubs were involved in the fight at the Diggers Rest Reserve last weekend.
The league says it is close to identifying those who took part.

Try to Control Yourself: Regulating the Self under Conditions of Limited Attention
Andrew Ward explains why individuals often fail at self-regulation and how they can succeed.
by Associate Professor of Psychology Andrew Ward
"From binge eating to excessive anger, many sources of adverse physical and mental health share a common theme: the inability of individuals to control their own behavior," Ward says. "The goal of the research described in this talk is to explain why individuals often fail at self-regulation and how they can succeed. According to the presented analysis, regulating the self typically demands a significant expenditure of mental resources. When those resources are limited in some fashion, the result is a state of affairs we term "attentional myopia," in which individuals can focus on only the most immediate bodily and environmental cues, to the neglect of more distal stimuli. The work suggests important implications for domains of self-control that include dieting, smoking cessation, and the regulation of anger-driven aggression."

What's-All-the-Fuss-about-Tulips Fribble
by Selena Maranjian (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Imagine you're telling your children a fable, hoping to impress upon them the importance of resisting the urge to jump onto a speculative bandwagon. Perhaps it begins like this:
Hundreds of years ago, in a place sort of far away, people became very interested in peacock feathers. Sure, these items had been around for a while, but all of a sudden, people craved more and more. It wasn't enough simply to admire the one feather that adorned your bonnet or the vase full of feathers over a neighbor's mantle. Peacock feathers became a status symbol, and people sought them out, paying top dollar for them.
This was good news for the peacock-feather industry. Those who raised, plucked, and traded in peacocks and their feathers started buying fancy jewelry, bigger houses and luxurious furniture. Soon, the feathers had turned into investments. People had noticed how the price of peacock feathers was relentlessly rising, so they began snatching up whatever feathers they could. No one wanted to be left out of this incredible rally. Even people of modest means took out loans on their homes and sold whatever belongings they could to buy a feather or two.
Then one day everything changed. Just as suddenly as it had begun, the interest in peacock feathers began to wane. No longer was a feather reliably fetching a higher price than had been last paid for it. In fact, a panic rapidly developed, as people tried to unload their feathers at any price. The aftermath of the feather frenzy was that a lot of people lost almost everything they ever had.
Now let's return to present-day Fooldom for a bit. Having read the above, does it seem a mere child's tale? Do you think it's representative of hyperspeculation, but greatly exaggerated? Well, if you're a student of financial history (which I'm not, but let's pretend I am), you might have recognized the scenario described above as none other than "Tulipomania."
If you're at all like me, you've frequently heard mention of the legendary Tulipomania of long ago. But you're not exactly sure what it refers to. Sure, it's clearly become a metaphor for wild speculation -- but why? And how? TMF Movie recommended a book to me that explained it all (and more). And I hereby recommend it to you. It's John Kenneth Galbraith's A Short History of Financial Euphoria, available via Amazon.com or perhaps at your local library or bookstore.
In a mere 110 pages, he reviews some of history's most outrageous financial missteps and blunders, and we end up just as amazed as he is at how history repeats itself, without people ever really learning the important lessons. In the case of speculative frenzies, he points out that in desperate searches for someone or something to blame for every bubble burst, no one ever blames the wild-eyed speculator. How true.
Before closing, let me impart a few incredible facts about Tulipomania, for those who aren't too familiar with it. It occurred in the mid 1600s in, you guessed it -- Holland. Galbraith expresses some wonder that the speculation of the times didn't settle on real estate or magnificent Dutch paintings, but on tulips: "Nothing more improbable ever contributed so wonderfully to the mass delusion here examined." The story is pretty much the same one as I described in my fictitious feather fable above. By 1636, a tulip bulb originally worth very little would fetch "a new carriage, two grey horses and a complete harness." This wasn't even the peak. These bulbs often weren't even planted -- just exchanged for higher and higher prices. Galbraith retells a painful story of a foreign visitor in a Dutchman's house mistaking a tulip bulb worth $25,000 to $50,000 for an onion and eating it. Ouch.
Fools are hereby advised to stop and smell the flowers, but never to get caught up in reckless financial speculation about flowers, penny stocks, beany babies and other improbabilities.
Fool on!

After going through one of the longest trials in American history, the Supreme Court passed a verdict based on the overwhelming data that the current state of America's collective intelligence, and economic demise, as well as its inevitable bankruptcy due to the it's 100 Trillion Dollar deficit owed to China, was in fact the state of Florida's fault.
All data confirmed that if Florida had not inexcusably forged and falsified their electoral ballots in the 2000 Bush/Gore Election, allowing George W. Bush to illegally obtain the office of Presidency, then the country would not have fallen so far from it's former graces.
The evidence brought before the Supreme Court was based on several factors. The first and foremost came from the numbers. The U.S. went from a $5.6 trillion dollar surplus left over from the Clinton administration to that of an $11-plus trillion dollar deficit when George W. Bush left office.
This was due to the simple an inexcusable fact that the administration used its office to give government contracts to the privately owned companies they represented, namely Halliburton.
The war profiteer known as former Vice President Dick Cheney, who many believe to be the true president during the Bush years, Bush being the figurehead, is estimated to have personally earned upwards of hundreds of millions of dollars in stocks and payouts from his time as V.P. However, this number is still unconfirmed due to the many loopholes, tax shelters, and shell corporations that these funds were purposely filtered through.
Cheney was estimated to have been paid over $44 million dollars for the five year's he worked for Halliburton before becoming Vice President. During his time as the CEO of Halliburton, the company had 58 offshore subsidiaries in the form of Caribbean tax havens. The companies tax payments to the U.S. went from $302 million in 1998 to zero in 1999, and then they had the audacity to receive a refund of $85 million dollars from the IRS.
As VP, Cheney single handedly sold over $10 Billion dollars in contracts and earnings to Halliburton for their work during the Iraq war, while he still held stocks in the company. A conflict of interest in the highest branch of office.
In retrospect one wonders about several factors.
For one, let's say that Al Gore had become the 43rd President of the United States, we can assume that a few things would not have happened.
First, we know that he would not have allowed the privatization and overcharging of services & meals of American troops in Iraq by Halliburton. We also know that that "War" wouldn't have happened, since it was all based on speculation and falsified documents of WMD's, which in fact, never existed. Had these two points alone not occurred the country would not have tumbled into borrowing, doubt, and debt.
Second, had Al Gore become President we know through history that he committed himself to trying to educate the entire world about the threats of climate change as a private citizen. If President, using history as our guide, one assumes that the same man at a higher office would have instituted fundamental changes to the American pollution engine, thereby lessoning America's "Carbon Footprint" and reducing the effects of global warming throughout implementing changes to American Industry. With less carbon entering the atmosphere, science tells us that things like polar melting, rogue weather patterns, and terrible hurricanes could not have formed with the intensity that we now know them to be. This means storms like Katrina and Sandy would not have been as powerful, or damaging, or as costly to the American economy.
In the final marks of it's trial against the state of Florida, the Supreme Court focused on the Bush education cuts, which caused America to become stunted as a population, due to severely handicapping many programs.
The population, in the grip of a well planned media induced fear factor, limited education, and a pre-created war time America, changed.
They went from forward thinkers to fearful shut ins. They used the term "Terrorist" as a new catch phrase, but with the same ease and manner in which previous generations said Nigger, Jew, Pollack, or Faggot. The country taught itself how to live in fear and racism, hiding and ignoring the hard truth that they were being lied to by the administration that they "almost" voted into office. The middle states held to the idea that the war was a real war, and not about oil interests. They came to believe that the lost lives that came from the made up conflict were necessary losses, and not based on greed.
America, once proud, once growing, was now stunted, small, and unnecessary in the scope of a global view. In the end of their hearing the Supreme Court said that it all came down to one simple truth.
It was because of the state of Florida.
The decision to revoke Florida's status as a state and implement the construction of "The Florida Canal" went remarkably quick. Most of the state already suffered from widespread destruction due to yearly hurricane bombardments. The Floridian population, confused by what was occurring, and growing older into it's senior years put up little defense. "The Tea Party," a division of the once proud Republican Party, which was comprised of religious fanatics and products of substandard education, urged members to relocate to the Sunshine State. But many did not, having trouble finding their way there.
Jeb Bush, the newly elected leader of the new nation quickly boasted how many other states would soon follow to create a "New America," but none did, although Texas did attempt to secede for a while. The United States would not allow that to happen.
"We don't need your stinkin' country" became the mantra of Texas, and even though the state did its best to continue to persecute minorities, homosexuals, women, and thinkers in the same manner as it always had, the government continued to let more and more Puerto Ricans and Mexicans to relocate there. After a few years there was not a single Caucasian holding a political office in the state.
America went through a new renaissance with the addition of Puerto Rico as the 50th State. With forty percent of America's ethnicity now being of Latin origin, North America and South America had found an equal balance of partnership and respect for one another. And with the relocation of America's orange industry, the island state's infrastructure boomed.
Tourism and culture changed as well. People from all around the world came to spend their summers in the new state. Occasionally cruise ships would have to divert their route due to storms coming close to the nation of Florida, where they'd see it's coastline littered with burning crosses as the sound of gunfire echoed like firecrackers coming across the sea.
In many ways the new country was symbolic of the horror that could come when democracy is subverted by greed, and its cultural demise showed the world that intelligence and clear thinking, through work, would always shine brighter than the lies of a few.
There is a site dedicated to tourism photos showing the fires in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and the capital in Orlando, which was constructed over Disney's Cinderella Castle in the former amusement park.

Check out the Vmarker - an interactive digital whiteboard!
PowerPoint is so 1997. Well, ok, I'll admit PowerPoint still has its place - but jazzing it up a little bit is always a good idea. One way to do that is to use Vmarker - a new, interactive digital whiteboard.
The Vmarker uses a 72Mhz ARM Cortex M3 processor with 20KB RAM and 128kB flash memory and connects to your computer via USB. Basically, you use an IR "marker" to point to whatever you are projecting. The Vmarker is capable of reading where you are pointing and interfacing with your computer to interpret the "marker" as your mouse curser. You can use your marker to interact with your presentation or draw on screen. It doesn't require any special software and only need one free USB port. Basically, it's pretty dang cool. The Vmarker is still in revisions, but check out the video above to see how it works in its current state. Great project!
Tough crowd.
Gotta say though, I'm impressed after reading a little more closely. I have, of course, seen the WiiMote whiteboard project (uses the same IR Marker "Technology") And that is VERY cool. However, if I'm not mistaken, it does require special software. What do you get for special software? Well, the ability to track multiple points, so the whiteboard could potentially be multi-touch.
The reason this project is impressive is because all of the tracking and signal conversion happen outside of the computer in the ARM processor. The box actually tracks the IR point, saves the calibration data, and converts the clicks into standard mouse coordinates. While multi-touch couldn't be achieved in this way, and while it isn't the most impressive technology (it's been done, and done.) it is a very impressive implementation of hardware controllers, and THAT is why it's here.
Plug'n'play, hardware-based configuration, works reasonably well, universal (works with anything that uses a standard mouse)… aside from the fact that whenever the projects done they'll probably be charging an impractically large sum for it, it's pretty nifty.
Multitouch is the next big thing after right and left click implementation.
The device also has a CDC interface(think serial port) and an other HID for config or multitouch and will also have a mass storage for the config application(this isn't needed but can be handy to show the battery level of the pens)
turn to face crowd
Well, there you have it, folks.
actually with the Vmarker you get multitouch. "Like the Wiimote, the Vmarker will recognize up to 4 IR dots, so multi-touch is also possible"
This reminds me of the SMART Boards back in college my profs loved to use.
Yup, My Daughter has a drawable projection in her 3rd grade public school classroom.
We use smart boards in my school. The teachers usually have a hard time figuring it out. :D
and also like the tablet computers the math dep. has at my HS
No offense, but I really dis-like seeing "check out this new product" posts about products not available. Nice marketing on a potential product, but not new in concept in any way.

Wow! where can I get that sensor? hey sparkfun, are you going to stock this sensor? please!!!
It makes sense, and I will take this way and look what happen. Thank you for your advice.
I don't get it. How's it different from the WiiMote project? For $35 you can buy a wiimote. the software is free, supports multipoint, and the wiimote is on BlueTooth (so wireless). How much $$ are all these things he's putting together at the beginning? It would be cooler of he had a Wiimote connected to a tiny Linux box that was connected to a projector. Then you could carry it around with you everywhere you go. You could even use it on a TV (don't press too hard).
It was nice to see the same old thing done a new way though. And so plug and play.
My school replaced about half the chalk boards in the district with something very similar to these. They are really nice for writing on the board because tachers can save the notes they wrote from the previous day for each class and pull them up the next day. Pretty awesome stuff!
Nice job! It's definitely been done before, but I like this relatively simple and cheap solution to a problem that many people make way too complicated.
However, I can't let this slide:
"PowerPoint still has it's place" should be "PowerPoint still has its place."
Never use "it's" for possession.
"curser"? I hope it is a "Good catch":D I thought about this idea before. Really cool.
Nice, I've been waiting for someone to do this.
meh… its been done before, and its open source in most cases.
Has it a USB connection?
Is it a simple HID device, witch implicates that is just a mouse?
All of the other opensource things use a webcam or a wiimote. This one not, you don't need to install anything on your pc!
I was scared when I refreshed this, as I thought the video was mine of the Wiimote Whiteboard project.
Really ??? This and a cerebal palsy grover got a post ? =[ …. SparkFun standards used to be higher… and more interesting.

While making a statement yesterday that Acer will streamline its computing portfolio to a third of what it has now, but still expects a 10% uptick in sales next year, he didn't miss the opportunity to comment on Apple's expected performance from his viewpoint.
JT Wang mentioned that Apple's days as an engine for growth in the industry will be done in about two years, and he expects Windows and Intel to pick up again as the driving force afterwards.
He didn't mention the fate of Acer's Android tablets, but did say that he expects Android to stay flat. Acer is much better positioned to improve its bottomline provided that Windows 8 turns out a success next year, as Windows is its traditional strength. Thus Acer has a vested interest in the soft growth scenario its CEO has on Apple to be materialize, and not be left in the realm of wishful thinking.

USC Returns To Action After Long 18-Day Layoff
LOS ANGELES -- The USC men's basketball team (4-2), under the direction of head coach Henry Bibby, returns to the road to face Ohio State on Saturday, Dec. 20 in Columbus, Ohio. USC, which will be playing its fifth road game this season, has not played since Dec. 2 (due to final exams). The Trojans have already won three games on the road this season -- at Sacramento State, Loyola Marymount and San Diego State.
Bibby is in his second full season at the helm of the Trojan program. Last season, he led USC to a 17-11 overall record, a second-place tie in the Pacific-10 Conference race (12-6) and Troy's first NCAA Tournament appearance since 1992. This season's squad, which is led by forwards Gary Williams and Adam Spanich and guards Gary Johnson and Elias Ayuso, is comprised of eight returners, four newcomers and one player coming off a redshirt year. Gone from last year's roster are four players _ Stais Boseman, Jaha Wilson, David Crouse and NBA first-rounder Rodrick Rhodes _ who each made a dramatic impact on Troy's success.
Game #7
Last Two Games
On Nov. 29, Spanich, one of four Trojans to score in double figures, poured in 27 points (most points by a Trojan this season) to lead USC to a 76-72 victory at San Diego State. Johnson and Williams added 15 and 13 points, respectively. Led by Spanich's 7-of-11 performance from three-point range, the Trojans were 10-of-21 from long distance. San Diego State, however, kept the game close by forcing 25 turnovers. USC also did not help its own cause by going 12-of-21 from the free throw line. Guard Matt Watts led the Aztecs with a career-high 24 points. The victory was Troy's fourth in a row and third on the road this season.

Who writes it: Los Angeles wag Kyle Bunch
The skinny: The People magazine of the blogosphere, Blogebrity dishes on the writers behind the digital curtains.

Olympic shooter stronger mentally after duty in combat zone
As part of USA TODAY Sports' "100 Olympic hopefuls in 100 Days" series, prospective U.S. Olympians give their thoughts on the Games in their own words.
Josh Richmond wasn't your average kindergartener. For one, he was pretty good with handling a gun.
Coming from a long line of shooters, "from the grandparents down," Richmond says, he took his first shot at 5 and never really stopped. At 10, he was shooting competitively. Now, 26, the 2010 world champion will represent the United States in double trap shooting at the Olympics.
MORE: Olympic hopefuls series
Richmond is a member of the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit, a world-class shooting outfit, and trains alongside 2008 gold medalist Glenn Eller in Fort Benning, Ga. Eller will make his fourth trip to the Olympics, in London.
Last year Richmond, who is from Hillsgrove, Pa., served a three-month stint in Afghanistan, training Afghan soldiers.
Before I graduated high school I was actually on the traveling team that year and was on the team with a bunch of the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit shooters. They had a spot open and they kind of were running some ideas through my mind about if it would be a fit for me and how I would feel if I had an opportunity to do it. I decided it was worth taking another look.
We currently have around 80 enlisted soldiers and soldier shooters. It's a very small but very large organization; small in the number of people, large in the number of things that we accomplish. With those 70 or 80 shooters that we have right now, we have seven or eight different sections here, which are competitive shooting teams as well as a custom firearms shop and reloading room.
Basically we have the best champion shooter of each discipline, service or American style shooting as well as best instructors and gun builders. It's a home run when it comes to marksmanship. Our motto is the home of champions.
I was over there with our unit, and we have been there the last two years. We are basically conducting marksmanship training with the national Afghan Army and somewhat helping them create their own doctrine over there. My main goal over there, my main mission, was to train the trainers.
I would say 95% of our soldiers here volunteered for that role and are still volunteering. I volunteered for that position on that particular squad, and it was extremely rewarding.
The difficult part came with the language barrier and a lot of their beliefs and just adjusting to them and what their language (was) and working with interpreters, learning how to teach someone how to shoot, who you can't directly communicate with.
We have a marksmanshiptest, which is written and oral as well as on the range actually shooting. We went from having about a 30% success rate prior to being there to now we were passing upwards of 95% of our students.
Being that this is my first Olympics, I'm going to again be out of my comfort zone so this is one other way of boosting my confidence. After you come back from a combat zone, there's not much more out there as far as taking you out of your comfort zone. I'm just so much more of a stronger person mentally because I did that.
Making the team is almost just second nature. It's almost like we planned this was going to happen. So maybe that's some of the reason why I wasn't so much shell-shocked in making the team. I just realized, OK now I got my ticket to go to the Games. Now the work begins.
It's not a high-profile sport where we get a lot of media, but we have this year and that's where I'm starting to feel the most, I guess, anxiety coming from. It's starting to become more and more real. There's a lot more people watching now than just a few of the followers that we've had.

Get the Best Deals from the Right Car Rental Company
Rental car services in Canada are perfect for those who are going on a travel because of the obvious benefits it gives in terms of convenience and flexibility. They can be a great thing not just in traveling but also in attending weddings, reunions, and other celebrations. All of us want to get only the best car rentals deals; not only will they make sure that you will get the car of your preferences but it will also save you so much money. Any wrong move may lead to the wrong decision, which will consequently cause more financial cost on your part. In this article, we will talk about the things that you should do in order to get the best deal for you.
The first thing that you have to look into is the particular type of car that you need. There are a lot of considerations that you have to think about; you have to make sure that the car you're getting will be right not just to your personal taste and your needs but more importantly, it should fit your budget. You have to ask yourself the important questions such as whom are you travelling with? Are there any children? How may of you will ride the car? Are you bringing some large things or equipment? Do you especially want to request a classy, elegant-looking car? Do you need something that is extremely fast? There are so many car rental companies located in Canada that can offer you cars that are right for your needs. If you are into environment protection, then they can give you eco-friendly vehicles, or they can offer you comfortable sedans, et cetera. You may read more from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_rental.
The next thing that you might want to check is if the car has shift or automatic gear. Remember that you should only get the car that you can drive. There are also other features that you may want the car to have such as a GPS system or a rack especially made of skiing apparatus. All you need to do is to ask if the car rental gta company is in possession of vehicles that have them. Availing these features may entail additional fess. Before you begin your search for the best deals, you must first determine the specific car and features that you want.
The next thing that you have to take care of is to book the car you have in mind. You can do this anywhere because most of the companies have websites at www.imobilitycarrental.com where you can do all your transactions with them. Doing this step will also require a few considerations. One of them is the duration of time that you will need the car. If you need the car only for a while, let's say, around less than one week, then you can get the best deals from the car rental companies in Canada. There are a lot of excellent car rental companies in the country. However, if you are going to rent the car for a much longer duration, then it would be a lot wiser if you get the deal locally, for example from the best car rental companies in Toronto. Remember that these companies usually offer more limited insurance cover.

…will steal it for me first. Funny how many of us want it. It's a game, really. You can't help but want it. It hangs there, red and begging to be touched, worn, used. I see the others looking at it, and some are even crazy enough to brush up against it when they walk by.
I can't believe it belonged to a girl. A woman ought to wear it. A real woman. I mean, have you seen it?
Henry and I have to best chance though, I think. We don't want to leave the building with it. That's when they catch you, trying to leave the grounds, claiming to be sick and hunching over grabbing your contorted belly. Yes! People try all kinds of things in here. Head Nurse thinks she's got the patients and us under her control. Ha. Not every single minute, she doesn't.
I know it's wrong. I know. But does it really matter? As Henry said, everything we see every day, everything we deal with, don't we deserve just a few moments of fun? A little fantasy? Oh, I can't wait to feel it wrapped around my shoulders. Henry says he can't wait to see me in it. Of course, we'll be in the basement, so we may not see that much!
What's the worse that could happen? We get a letter in our files? We get fired? That Head Nurse. She doesn't control me.

Umm, what is your question?
My guess is that a great majority of caterers work out of a "non-shared" kitchen! If it is your kitchen, then you know where everything is, you know whether it is clean and sanitized, and you know when it is available.

'"The good thing about mistakes is it gives you an opportunity to learn," Montador said. "It's exciting to want to put that behind you. To be able to do that at the moment is tough, but you can benefit from the situation. To have an opportunity to play right away, I think that's more exciting than sitting on something for a while."'

President Barack Obama and Chancellor Angela Merkel have spoken for around an hour about possible solutions to the Crimean standoff. Merkel's foreign minister has said he sees a "small chance" of a political solution.
"There is now a small chance to get an international political process into motion that would be able to stop the spiral of escalation between Russia and Ukraine in the Crimea," Steinmeier told Wednesday's edition of the Rheinische Post daily, before cautioning: "Time is running out. There is a threat of nothing less than a division of Europe. The longer this crisis brews, the more difficult any solution will become."
Various international attempts to monitor and calm the Crimean situation are already in motion. UN special envoy Robert Serry arrived in the southern Ukrainian region on Tuesday, while an unarmed military observer task force is being deployed by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). Wednesday's edition of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung reported that two Bundeswehr soldiers would join this OSCE team.
Designing an 'off-ramp'
Leaders of the European Union member states will convene for a special summit on Thursday, called this week in response to the situation in Ukraine. Prior to these talks, German Chancellor Angela Merkel conducted a lengthy phone call with US President Barack Obama on Tuesday evening, discussing "the still-worrying situation in Ukraine," as Merkel's spokesman put it.
A senior White House official said that Obama and Merkel discussed an "off-ramp" for Russia in Ukraine. A statement said that the two leaders "agreed on the importance of de-escalating the situation, including through the deployment of international observers and human rights monitors, and of initiating direct talks between Russia and Ukraine."
In a public appearance at a fundraiser on Tuesday night, Obama similarly voiced cautious optimism for an international solution, saying "we are spending a lot of time on it."
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday disputed allegations from Ukraine that Russian troops were directly involved in the bloodless seizure of control in Crimea, saying that "local forces of self-defense" had surrounded military bases and some local government buildings. One of the proposals Merkel and Obama discussed was capping the number of Russian troops in Crimea at 11,000 and confining them to military facilities, in line with existing bilateral agreements.
Kerry's Maidan message
US Secretary of State John Kerry visited Kyiv on Tuesday, sharply criticizing Russian conduct in the Crimea, and describing it as "not 21st-century, G8, major nation behavior." Russia currently chairs the G8, and the US has already said it will not attend the group's June summit in Sochi unless the situation in Ukraine changes.
"He brought appropriate words for the country which is torn… wounded at the moment," Sheremeta said on DW TV's Journal. "He paid his respects to the victims of the Maidan, which was well appreciated here."

The laser hair removal price structure is easy to understand and after a quick reading you can easily understand how you will be charged by a laser clinic. But before we go into details have a look at the various factors which influence laser hair removal prices.
Basic Factors Effecting Price
One thing we should always keep in mind that the laser hair removal costs
specifically depend upon the person concerned. So, there are no hard and fast
rules which exactly define it. Various considerations which collectively
determine the Laser hair removal costs for a person are;
- Is the person really good candidate for Laser hair removal?
- Size of the area to be treated.
- Density of hairs in that area.
- Type and color of skin and hairs.
- Your geographic location.
- The specific clinic involved.
- Specific type of laser and laser hair removal equipment used.
As all hair growth patterns are not alike and two different persons cannot
have same growth patterns so their respective laser hair removal cost may vary
between the two extremes. So, before estimating the laser hair removal cost it's
a good idea to visit a nearby laser hair removal clinic to get a reliable quote
for your Laser hair removal cost by some professional.
Another key factor is that the price usually vary from clinic to clinic, but often the various quotes will be the same or similar in the end. The various ways that laser clinics adopt to set the price of laser hair removal are,
Package Deals
The Laser hair removal cost may be based on a single treatment fee or a complete treatment package. For the ease of the customers planning to undergo Laser hair removal some clinics offer package deals. For example laser hair removal of Bikini line hairs can cost you as a single treatment for $ 120 or you can opt for a package deal of 6 month treatment for approximately $ 600. These prices are liable to change as, different people have different hair growth pattern and density of hairs.
Treatment Duration
Some clinics charge their customer on the basis of time spent on the Laser hair removal of a segment of body. Persons who have previously undergone electrolysis must be familiar with this billing method. Most laser clinics charge per 15 minute time spent for treatment. In this case the cost is determined by the amount of hair to be removed, and the speed and expertise of the laser technician and the speed of the laser hair removal machine employed.
Pulse Count Billing
Some clinics bill their patients according to the number of laser pulses used to treat an area of the body. One pulse of laser light is capable of treating hundred hairs or more depending upon the diameter of the laser pulse. A minimum fee is charged for an area including cost of a specific number of pulses. Then the patients are charged on a per pulse basis if their treatment exceeds that specific number of pulses included in the initial package. In this method the cost of treatment decreases with the number of treatments as less number of hairs are to be treated on subsequent visits.
Average Costs per area
The table below provides an indication of the times in-between sessions, the average time taken for each treatment and the number of sessions to consider in order to obtain excellent results.
|Area to be treated
|Expected no. of sessions
|Expected time
|Average laser cost per treatment
|4-6 sessions
|15-30 minutes
|$250.00 - $600.00 per Treatment
|Upper lip
|4-6 sessions
|1-10 minutes
|$25.00 - $100.00 per Treatment
|3-5 sessions
|1-10 minutes
|$125.00 - $300.00 per Treatment
|4 sessions
|15-60 minutes
|$200 - $300 per Treatment
|4-8 sessions
|40-60 minutes
|$300.00 - $750.00 per Treatment
|4 sessions
|30-60 minutes
|$200.00 - $450.00 per Treatment
|6 sessions
|2-15 minutes
|$100.00 - $250.00 per Treatment
|4 sessions
|4-30 minutes
|$100.00 - $225.00 per Treatment
|4 sessions
|20-50 minutes
|$200.00 - $400.00 per Treatment
|4 sessions
|20-60 minutes
|$300.00 - $500.00 per Treatment
All this discussion concludes that different laser clinics have different billing criteria. Moreover a single hair removal clinic may be following multiple billing patterns for its clients. If we closely analyze the situation it will be noticed that there isn't much difference between these billing methods in the end. Laser hair removal clinics usually favor different pricing structures for their own ease of use and improved patient compliance and turnout. Also read tips to get affordable laser hair removal to find the package which suits you best.

I was driving a long last night when my truck died suddenly, looking down I saw that the console said "low oil pressure". I coasted the truck to the side, checked the oil (full) and tried to fire it back up, no luck. No tach pulse on the dash, assumed dizzy.
Pulled the distributor cap, cranked engine, rotor spins...
Pulled the distributor for the heck of it, gear shows normal wear, pump slot is good and the pump spins freely with a screw driver. Distributor does seem to have a lot of vertical play, not sure if that matters when it's bolted down though.
Installed a new oil pressure sensor from the dealer as I've had bad luck with the aftermarket ones, re-timed engine, same old same, cranks over, no fire.
Thoughts? Truck has 145k on it, possible oil pump? Pick up tube fell off? Am I focusing too much on the oil side of things given I seen the "low oil pressure" light?
