Storms are bad. They cause havoc, disrupt people's lives and damage property. Network storms, although rarely life threatening can be equally disruptive.
The are several types of storms that occur on networks. Perhaps the most frequent and thus familiar are broadcast storms. Broadcast storms occur when there are a large number of retransmissions occurring on the network either due to device failure or some other instability in the network. Although they may sound innocent, broadcast storms can bring an enterprise network to its knees.
The good news is that broadcast storms are usually of short duration and tend to go away by themselves. Still, because of the loss of service that is involved, it is crucial to have a good network management package keeping on eye on the health of your network. If there is a broadcast storm, you want to be alerted by your network management package, not by your users.
Less known, but more insidious is the so-called OSPF storm. As it name implies, this kind of storm occurs on networks running the OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) protocol. (OSPF was first standardized in RFC 1247. The latest version, OSPF v.2, can be found in RFC 2328.) It is extremely popular in enterprise networks because it supports VLSMs (Variable Length Subnet Masks).
OSPF is referred to as a "link-state" routing protocol. That simply means that routing changes are based on the status and bandwidth of the physical links between routers. When an OSPF router comes on line it send out a "hello" message in an attempt to discover its neighbor routers. Once it gets a response, the router can exchange link-state information with its neighbor routers. This occurs in the form of LSAs (link-state advertisements). Typically, unless there is a change in network topology, LSAs are exchanged every 30 minutes. However, LSAs can be sent out more frequently if an interface goes down, or some other status within the network changes. If there are too many simultaneous changes, the LSAs can quickly get out of hand resulting in an OSPF storm.
OSPF storms are especially nasty because OSPF is typically run in the enterprise backbone. Therefore, an OSPF storm can render the entire backbone network inoperable. Worse yet (if there is a "worse" than having the backbone tied up in knots) is that unlike broadcast storms, OSPF storms generally do not go away by themselves. They often require manual intervention -- and that intervention, more often than not, involves physically downing the affected routers.
One way to minimize the potential for OSPF storms is to divide the network into separate, hierarchical domains, called areas. Instead of having one very large OSPF area or zone, the backbone is made up of a number of adjacent OSPF zones. The common rule of thumb is that there should be no more than 50 routers per area, but this is often reduced depending on the number of interfaces per router and the network backbone size. For example, West Virginia University's backbone network consists of five OSPF areas with no more than two routers per area. That may be conservative, but it has helped to keep us relatively storm free.
With multiple OSPF areas, a storm is less likely to occur because there are only a few devices chatting in the area. If it does, it is more likely to be confined to a specific area -- although this is by no means a guarantee. So proceed with caution. Although they are inevitable, you will want to do whatever you can to prevent and minimize storms in the backbone.

Old African-American celebration given second life in New York
By Sebastien Malo
NEW YORK (Reuters) - An African-American celebration called Pinkster dating back to the 17th century is enjoying a quiet revival in New York, giving the city a fresh glimpse at the largely ignored contribution that black colonists made to America's emerging culture.
Considered the oldest African-American holiday, Pinkster was virtually unknown to generations of New Yorkers until three years ago when a group of black history enthusiasts decided to resurrect it.
The festivities, now an annual event, take place this weekend in lower Manhattan at the site of a colonial-era African-American burial ground that itself was almost lost to history until unearthed during a 1991 construction project.
"Africans are always left out of history," said Christopher Paul Moore, a historian and retired curator at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in New York City's Harlem. "The revival of Pinkster helps us to just have a fuller understanding, awareness of what was happening in this country."
Pinkster was brought to the New World by settlers from the Netherlands, its name derived from the Dutch word "Pinksteren," meaning Pentecost, a Christian holiday falling on the seventh Sunday after Easter. Slaves and free colonists with African roots soon fused the holiday with their own traditions, giving Pinkster a distinctive American character.
In its heyday, Pinkster was an week-long celebration that featured African music and dancing, and the crowning of a Pinkster king, portrayed by a slave dressed like a military officer.
The holiday was pushed underground in New York state after a ban in 1811, long after the British ousted the Dutch from their foothold in North America. Pinkster gradually receded into the history books as the Afro-Dutch community lost touch with their colonial traditions.
The New York City revival began when composer John Derek Norvell ran across the word "Pinkster" time and again while reading about early African-American music when he was a doctoral student. Continued...

Pay not always 'guaranteed'
By Siobhán Harding
Following on from last week's article about lay-offs and short-time working, this article will look in more detail at the issue of guarantee payments.
Guarantee payments are made to employees who are laid off or put on short-time working and guarantee that pay will not fall below a certain level.
The employee's contract may include provisions for contractual guarantee payments if they are laid off or put on short-time working.
If this is not included in their contract, they may have a right to claim a statutory guarantee payment from their employer.
A statutory guarantee payment will only be made if the employee is given no work to do because there is a shortage in the kind of work they are employed to do (or there is any other occurrence which affects the normal working of the business in relation to this type of work) and if there has been a whole day when the employee was given no work.
They are not required to be made for days in which some work is provided even if that work is provided outside normal working hours.
An employee can only claim a statutory guarantee payment if they have been employed for at least one month by the day before the first day there is no work.
Statutory guarantee payments can only be made for a maximum of five days in any three month period.
In cases in which an employee works less than five days in a normal week, their entitlement cannot be more than the number of days the employee is required to work — for example, if an employee normally works a four day week their entitlement is limited to four days in any three month period.
If hours of work vary from week to week an average will be taken over the 12 complete working weeks preceding the week in which the lay-off occurred.
Rates of guarantee payments are low and are calculated by multiplying the number of normal working hours by the 'guaranteed hourly rate' which is subject to a set maximum (currently £20.40 per day).
The right to a statutory guarantee payment is lost if the lay off or short time working is the result of an industrial dispute involving other employees of the business.
This is the case even if the employee is not involved in the dispute. If the employee refuses an offer from the employer of suitable alternative employment, which need not be work they are contractually employed to do, or if they refuse to comply with a reasonable requirement imposed by the employer to ensure that their services are available, then they will lose the right to a guarantee payment.
If an employee does not receive a guarantee payment they feel they are entitled to, they have the right to make a complaint to an industrial tribunal.
Any such complaint must be made within three months of the day for which the employer has not made a guarantee payment, but industrial tribunals have discretion to accept complaints made after the three-month period if they consider that it was not reasonably practicable for the employee to have made a complaint earlier.
For more information on guarantee payments or on lay-off and short-time working, contact your local CAB or from the Department for Employment and Learning by telephoning 02890 257580 or from its website at www.delni.gov.uk/er.

Adam Lind Wouldn't Help the Pirates
News and Rumors
The Toronto Blue Jays placed Adam Lind on outright waivers yesterday, which means that any teams that wants him can just claim him and assume his full salary. My first thought when I saw this was probably similar to the thought process of a lot of Pirates fans. The thought was "the Pirates have a horrible offense, anything could help." I'll also add that I was basing my analysis on Lind on having him on my fantasy baseball teams in 2009, when he hit for a .305 average with 35 homers.
After taking a closer look at him, I don't think he would make sense for the Pirates. Here is a run down of the facts on Lind.
**He is owed $3.7 M for the remainder of the 2012 season. He is owed $5 M in 2013, and has three buyouts in 2014-2016, totaling $3.5 M. Any team picking him up would assume all o...

UPDATE 3-Barrick Gold unveils new pay scheme, may add directors
(Adds response from Barrick director on retention)
By Allison Martell
TORONTO, March 31 (Reuters) - Barrick Gold Corp unveiled a new executive compensation plan on Monday, and lead director J. Brett Harvey said the company might select two new board members after its annual meeting on April 30.
Under the plan, effective for 2014, the largest part of top executives' compensation would be based on performance, paid in units that convert into Barrick shares and that cannot be sold until the executive retires or leaves the company.
The plan, detailed in a regulatory filing, is the latest move by Barrick to improve governance after a series of missteps in recent years angered investors. At last year's annual meeting, shareholders voted down a nonbinding resolution on executive pay.
"We heard the shareholders loud and clear. We understood what they had to say," Harvey, who chairs the compensation committee, told reporters on Monday.
In December, Barrick said two longtime directors would not stand for re-election and announced four new board nominees. It also confirmed that the company's founder, Chairman Peter Munk, would step down at the annual meeting and be replaced by Co-Chairman John Thornton.
Harvey said the company was "probably going to pick up two more" directors after the annual meeting.
He said the new compensation plan is meant to better line up management's interests with those of shareholders: "The theme internally became, instead of having wealthy managers, we wanted wealthy owners that were managers." Continued...

Katrina, Five Years Later: A News Consumer's Guide To The Anniversary Stories
Brian Williams emits manly concern over the situation
If you aren't aware that this weekend marks the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, you will be by the time Monday rolls around.
Newspapers, TV shows and websites will be heavy on commemorating the event. Here's what to look for:
1. The use of music
We're guessing some pre-Katrina shots will include some second-line marching, maybe some Mardi Gras parade scenes with lively music (Professor Longhair, no doubt). Generic ominous strings will accompany radar shots of Katrina in the Gulf. If anyone uses Randy Newman's "Louisiana 1927" ("Louisiana, they're trying to wash us away..."), forget it -- that's as bad as "There's something happening here...." in a `60s documentary.
2. The rehabilitation of Michael Brown
Brown was the unqualified political appointee who utterly mishandled the Katrina response, aided and abetted by Bush administration apathy. But since he got canned, Brown has energetically and tirelessly engaged in a media tour, where he has charmed reporters and shoved the blame for the federal response elsewhere. He doesn't get challenged on it much, even in a recent interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper. Don't believe it -- his incompetence and lack of experience were key in the whole affair.
3. How graphic will it get?
There are plenty of pictures of corpses lying, covered or uncovered, in New Orleans streets in the wake of the storm. Does the show you're watching show only a few quick shots, or does it linger accusingly over a series of photos with a mournful but soulful soundtrack?
4. Houston's role
First, we will open our hearts. You'll see pictures or footage of buses pulling up to the Dome, and of course shots from the upper-deck of the cot-filled field. We'll be lauded for dropping off clothes that don't fit us anymore for use by refugees.
Then things will change. If it's TV, you'll see crime-scene tape and flashing lights in front of Fondren apartment complexes. You'll hear from white Houstonians saying they're not prejudiced, but it's a just a fact that Katrina brought a ton of the criminal class, and gang warfare, to our heretofore pristine borders. (Extra points if disputes between Louisianans and Houstonians at Westbury High are mentioned.)
5. Can it happen again?
This is how most of the stories will end. As if you didn't know the answer, which is "yes."

Haitian Leaders to Clinton Global Guests: We Need Your Business
The President and Prime Minister of Haiti are asking for aid, but also for investment. Both spoke on the last day of the Clinton Global Initiative, former President Clinton's yearly effort to get business leaders involved in solving world problems.
Haiti is in part Bill Clinton's portfolio -- he's the United Nations Special Envoy to Haiti and he co-chairs the country's Interim Reconstruction Commission. And in response to critics who say the recovery has moved too slowly, Clinton asked his audience what they would do, reminding people that 17 percent of the government workers died in the January earthquake.
In his pitch to investors, Haitian Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive said the more than $5 billion of aid coming to Haiti over the next three years will help. But when you do the math, it equals about $180 dollars per Haitian citizen, per year. So to make Haiti's recovery sustainable, he said, the country needs private sector investment.
"Don't be discouraged by images of Haiti today," he said. "We are wounded, we are in pain, but we are alive. And we are going to rebuild." But he said it will take time to avoid mistakes of the past.
Panelists with ongoing investments in Haiti spoke of the country's rich arts and crafts and of its potential to attract tourists to coastal areas and hard-to-reach historical sites like the Citadel, a mountain fortress designed and built by Haitians two centuries ago to defend the newly independent country against invaders.
Haitian President Rene Preval ended his speech by unexpectedly calling hip hop star Wyclef Jean to the stage and praising his love for Haiti -- despite the fact that Jean bashed him in a recently released single. A few years ago, President Preval named Jean a Goodwill Ambassador for Haiti. But after the electoral council in Haiti put a stop to Wyclef's attempt to run for President -- saying he doesn't reside in Haiti -- the singer accused President Preval of orchestrating the council's decision.
President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama joined Bill Clinton for the conference's closing panel: President Obama adoringly introduced his wife, Michelle Obama who urged the audience to employ U.S. war veterans and their spouses. She said in the military, soldiers learn many of the same skills needed for aid efforts around the world.
"You see, this kind of potential is just too precious and unique to squander," she said. "And for these extraordinary individuals, the story of their service doesn't end when they move off the base or hang up their uniform. Rather, it's just the next chapter of their work to build a better America and a better world."
Michelle Obama also urged the private sector to accommodate the unusual lives of military spouses, whose frequent moves make it hard to keep jobs.

There is no option named word wrap or even WordWrap. However,
there is an option named PageWidth. It specifies the width that

Hi folks,
How's it going? Looks like you guys have a great site here. I'm a law student in Buffalo and am looking to get my carry permit in Erie County, NY.
I have heard that the judge(s) who approves the permits in this county is very averse to making them unrestricted, and tends to approve them for target practice and hunting only. I was wondering if there is any non-law enforcement officer from Erie County on this website who has managed to get an unrestricted permit in the county? Any tips or advice you could give me would be appreciated because I want the permit for self-defense, and having those restrictions makes the permit pretty much worthless.
Since I'm on the other side of the country, I can't be much help with your question, but I'm sure someone will jump in. But I can welcome you to the forum. Welcome from Washington State.

Yes, as you know, it's up to the local judge, here in NY State. You can always arrange a meeting with him/her and ask for an unrestricted permit. If you can show that you have a need for a carry permit, job related, or safety related, then he/she should give you the permit.
Since you are a student, I assume you are relatively young, so I suggest strongly that if you make an appointment to see the judge, dress neatly, be polite and hope for the best.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – The Northern Arizona football team has announced the addition of Abilene Christian to their 2014 schedule. NAU's addition of Abilene Christian gives the Lumberjacks a 12-game fall schedule; seven on the road and five at home.
"It's always important to schedule quality opponents in our non-conference because we want the team to be prepared for the grind of the Big Sky," said head coach Jerome Souers. "The goal is to challenge ourselves every year against great competition and there's no question Abilene is going to be an exciting test for our program. We have great respect for the entire Southland Conference and Abilene Christian will only add to the Southland's storied tradition. I know the team is looking forward to heading out to Texas and we'll represent the NAU athletic program with pride."
The Lumberjacks will travel to Abilene, Texas on Sept. 6 for a match up against the Wildcats in their home opener. Kickoff at Shotwell Stadium is still to be determined. Abilene Christian will compete in the Southland Conference this year and participate for the first time as a full member at the Division I FCS level. The Wildcats finished last season 6-5 as an independent.
NAU opens its 2014 slate on the road at San Diego State on August 30. The Lumberjacks' first home game will be on Sept. 13 versus New Mexico Highlands.
Congratulations to Joy Gaeraths! Joy is the winner of an NAU Football trivia prize pack for guessing Abilene Christian correctly.

Gentlemen... your most embarassing sailing moment if you please.
tick for tack! Touche' OK guys don't all pipe in at once! :p
When I first got the boat I was sailing in the famous Race out by Fishers Island. There were about 20 small boats with guys fishing. I assumed that they were NOT anchored although the depth there might have been in the 20' range.
So I sailed skilllfully right through the lot and snagged one guys anchor line. Boy you shoulda seen his face as he began following me!
I had to cut his line... take his address and send him money for new ground tackle. WOW that was embarrassing. Luckily no one got hurt and no boats were damaged.
I now stay away from these guys with fishing poles out.. some are drifting and some may be anchored and usually right in some channel or fairway.
my bad
sv shiva
We already have a thread on bonehead moves... ;)
Sailing with the girfriend on our Coronado 15 as a teenager in the '70's. Hook into the trapeze standup on the gunnels, lean back, backbuster, the non-sailing girlfriend sails on . . . . . . . with me swimming after. I should have checked the connection.
We were chartering on a Hylas 46 in the Virgin Islands and had anchored in a beautiful little bay. I was messing around with friends on deck and slipped and knew I was going overboard so I launched myself further out from the boat so I wouldn't hit anything on the way down. Unfortunately, the side of my head hit the water first and I felt immediate pain in my eardrum. Embarrassed and getting back on board, I thought I had water jammed in my inner ear so I suggested that my wife pour in some hydrogen peroxide to bubble it away. She did so...and it was then I found out I had a punctured ear drum as the hydrogen peroxide ran down through my ear and into my throat!! Owwwwww....I hate it when that happens!!
No more diving that trip!! Twenty years later my friends still re-enact my spectacular dive!
Ouch Cam... ouch...
Ouch. *Shudders*
Ok, well duh... I was only trying to create more activity in this forum. thanks for sharing guys!
That's the reason I went post happy that week too Denise. It does drag on in here on ocassion.

Senior mortgage company executives are angry that they were not consulted by the Council of Mortgage Lenders and have asked its director general Michael Coogan not to make unapproved statements in future.
Days before the Bank of England's monetary policy committee met to set the cost of borrowing last week, the Council of Mortgage Lenders called for a modest rate increase to take the heat out of the housing market.
The demand amazed City analysts, who thought the message from such a strong force in the British economy - its mortgage lenders - was bound to influence the MPC. It left rates unchanged.
However, senior executives at Britain's top lenders now say they were as shocked as other commentators. Several were angry at being given no warning of the dramatic policy shift and, worse still, most did not agree with it.
Christopher Rodrigues, chief executive of Bradford & Bingley, stopped short of openly criticising the CML but left little doubt that he disagreed with the policy.
'If the purpose of the CML statement was to damp down the housing market, I don't think you do that by making quarter-point changes in mortgage rates,' he said. 'You can't move the short-term housing market with changes in interest rates,' he said, but added: 'I'm not arguing with the CML.'
One senior banker said: 'We weren't terribly happy.' He said the industry normally regarded Coogan as a safe pair of hands.
One mortgage industry figure said he was 'surprised, amazed and peeved' by the CML's move. Another said: 'My view is that lenders should not be trying to dictate to the MPC what they should do. I have no idea what the CML was doing. It's surprising they didn't tell us first.'
The CML's thinking, according to one source, was 'to put down a marker' so in the event the house price boom does turn to bust, the home loans industry could point to its efforts to cool the market.
Halifax, Cheltenham & Gloucester, Birmingham Midshires and Northern Rock have cut mortgage rates despite the CML. A CML spokesman said: 'This was and is our view of what we feel the market needs. It was not one we felt the need to consult our members on.'

question about turbo timer harness adn running a line through the fire wall
hi i have a 2008 wrx and i am getting a turbo timer and there is a wiring harness that is a plug and play adn i was wondering if it says 04+ wrx if it would fit the 08 wrx adn does any one kno where the fire wall plug is so u can run a line for the boost gauge or any type of gauge is because i cant seem to find it please help
there should be a big grommet on the passenger side right behind the turbo. I dont know though because i never worked on an 08
Why would it not work on an '08 ? It says 04+ WRX.
[QUOTE=pzr2874;193800]Why would it not work on an '08 ? It says 04+ WRX.[/QUOTE]
by that logic it'll also work on an 2018 model too? Obviously there's a huge risk the listing hasn't been updated with the SUBSTANTIALLY different 08s...
You do know that the turbo timer is just a bling mod unless you have a bigger turbo that needs it. I would sell it a save your money towards something else. IMO
[QUOTE=suddenthomas;193808]You do know that the turbo timer is just a bling mod unless you have a bigger turbo that needs it. I would sell it a save your money towards something else. IMO[/QUOTE]
...yeah, like gas. You're gonna be wasting around 30 seconds (+/-) worth of gas every time you turn your car off. Also, don't forget that'll be the most expensive premium high octane stuff, and I think I saw gas prices jump up 20 cents in my area today !Cry!
yea i thought our turbos are water cooled.... so there would be NO NEED for a turbo timer.
I seem to remember some previous threads on this board that covered the extreme frustration with arming the alarm system (locking the car) and having the car running on a (turbo) timer. Search and destroy! !Laugh!
Yeah, I forgot, they changed all the harnesses and wiring in the 08's...... Shit.... Like that happened.
Is he referring to the Blitz? If you are, I didn't have a problem at all w/my 07. You all forget, TT's are used for more than just turning the car off.
Here is the place I got mine from.
[url=http://www.jscspeed.com/universal/electronics/blitz_timers.htm]Blitz DC Turbo Timers, FATT and Dual and Vehicle Specific Harnesses, JSC Speed[/url]
Didn't forget that at all its just a personal preference. Just feel like the money could be spent on better things like handling mods.
I can explain :
1- in the winters I can go out, start it up and let it sit for however I want to warm it up.(instead of buying an automatic w/auto start)
2- Boost gauge is accurate as hell. <---cheaper than Defi's :poorme:
3- Timer for lap times among others
4- peak boost hold
5- You can set the warning to let you know if you boost spike.
I'm sure there is more I haven't used, tried.
I really like mine. Not that it gets as cold as it does elsewhere. ;)
does anyone know where they make the turbo timer harness for the 08 wrx at or if they even make them yet?
Best thing is to call the company 2 c what they say. I believe that is what the original question was. I don't see the harnesses changing.

I have looked into each doctor and dr schulman in New York & dr salzhauer in Florida are the two that I feel give the best results and are two that I feel safest / comfortable with. I have a consultation coming up with dr schulman in September. Salzhauer is further away so I'm going to have to do a phone call consultation. (Haven't scheduled that yet because I emailed them and they haven't replied back) Anyways I had a Tt 7 weeks ago and now I feel like with my flat tummy I want a bigger shapier butt! I want an upside down heart with a big bubble!
That B**** dont have NO ass at all! The struggle is real ladies
I have looked into each doctor and dr schulman in...
Well looks like Salzhauers staff made my decision for me!
I emailed them back and forth on the 1st and my email with a question in it and trying to schedule my consultation has gone unanswered. I waited all day yesterday thinking maybe they were busy but today still nothing! I will not go somewhere where customer service is not top notch!
Bbl ladies! How many weeks off work did you take?
I have a desk job and am really curious how much time y'all took off work because I don't want to be gone long.
Consultation Wednesday!!
My consultation with dr schulman is approaching! I can't wait I have so many questions! I hope he can give me what I want! & I hope I can afford it lol. I'd really love to have my surgery In the beginning of November ! Wish me luck and il let you ladies know how my consultation goes!
Tomorrow I come face to face with Dr Schulmam!
I have a 4 hour drive to New York tomorrow! (I have never been on a plane & can't bring myself too) I really hope he tells me what I want to hear and can help me. Idk how I'm going to afford him though because he is expensive. Wish me luck!
I made it here! Barely! Let's just say NEw Yorkers are the rudest ppl I have ever come across! & they can not drive for shit! It took all I had not to turn around and go home! My blood pressure is prolly through the roof! These ppl driving junk ass cars will run u off the road to get infront of you! All you hear in New York is horns blaring! I can't believe I made it here at all. And honestly I'm dreading getting back in the car & driving out of here! Dr schulman is great! Unfortunately he wants me to wait a year since I just had a Tt and as of right now I don't have enough fat :(
Wow Dr Fisher
After my swelling goes down I might have to go see dr fisher he has really been giving these girls ass!!!! My only worry is dealing with Vanity & flying :(
The best surgeon!
I can not decide who to go with! At this point I don't care how much I just want someone who is going to give me the best and that I can trust to keep me safe!
Fingers crossed!!
So after being told I don't have a lot of fat I started to dig deeper! I sent my pics to dr fisher! His girls look amazing!! So fingers are crossed and I'm hoping that he can help! I def have a lot of fat!
I'm going to cry!!!
Dr fisher said I'm a perfect candidate!!! Woo hoo! Now fingers crossed he can do my surgery in November!!
Dr fisher dolls to be!!!
Hit me up ladies? I need a bbl friend? Any of you going around November?
Bye bye realself!!!
First of all.. When you make a post asking a question NOBODY answers. And lately the stuff isn't even updating. So bye bye realself you have been a whole lot of no help!!
Dr Salzhauer
I just had a phone consult with Dr Salzhauer! He is super sweet guy! Even noticed a Minnie Mouse soap container and little kid tooth paste & asked about my daughter! He told me I definitely have enough fat and he can give my boxy self some shape! I need curves damn it!! I'm waiting on my quote! He even said he might be able to get me in for November! Fingers crossed !
Getting my booty November 4th!!
Today I spoke with Arianny, she is very sweet & down to earth, I scheduled my surgery for November 4th and I paid my deposit! I'm so excited to be happy with my body and how I look in clothes! I will be having another consultation with dr salzhauer because I have some last minute questions and I want to be sure he knos I want big! And I want hips!
Pre op pics
I have plenty of pre op pics & when I look at them I become horrified! My body has become so embarassing & looking at pics of it just depresses me. Thank goodness I only have a month and il be fixing this body!! I'm actually have a brazillian butt lift and a bra line back lift. My skin is very loose! I've always stressed weird id go months eating junk & then months being a gym rat. And then pregnancy dropped my ass completely off the radar. Anyways everytime I go to post a pre op pic on here I feel so embarassed so here's the deal I've made with myself. The day before surgery on my long ride down to Miami I will post my pics. Today I told my job I need off from November 3rd til the 10th. I'm sure they will have a fit but hopefully it works out. My wonderful bf called today & secured a hotel. So ... Hotel.. Check! ... Deposit & date set... Check! Now just to have the time off work & to let my mom know!!
It just got real!
My work already ACCEPTED my time off! I can't believe it they have a fit every time I'm sick and need a day off and here they are giving me 6 days! I'm so excited Hopefully having surgery on the 4th and back to work on the 11th will be enough time. Il have to make it through just 9 days of work & then I'm off another week for thanksgiving break woo hoo!!! So now all that is left to do is tell my mama! Yikes
25 days left & I've hit a huge problem!!
So now I'm having swelling below my belly button!!! Wth! & I'm afraid if I have my bbl he won't be able to get the fat from my belly because of the swelling in that area! Should I cancel my surgery ?! :(
3. Wks left left!!
I can't believe my surgery date is so soon! I'm so nervous about coming out and not being pleased! 12000 is a lot to spend and not be satisfied so I plan on calling dr salzhauer Monday with even more questions! Specially since I'm still having some swelling from my Tt and I really need my belly lipod
Pre op!! 2 wks until surgery !!
So first of all I finally sucked it up & told my mom. I said I'm going to a dr in Florida for surgery and she said okay! I'm like really?!? I've rehearsed over and over every arguement she was going to throw at me and how I was going to reply and that's all she said! Well that was easy!! So they called and I had my pre op. Was told the dos and donts and I paid! Ouch! I'm officially broke! Now my worries about surgery are here!! Ugh I probably won't sleep for the next two wks!!
Ughhh fat face fat arms fat fat fat!!
So after dr schulman telling me I don't have enough fat I went and gained weight. And now my face and arms are big!! Idk what to do! Now I have enough fat for the bbl but I dnt want a fat face and fat arms. Will losing weight after bbl make me lose weight?
Blood drawn & physical yesterday
Yesterday it really hit me that I'm doing this. Second thoughts have kicked in. I looked at pics of me when I was skinny and I looked great! No butt but from the front I looked amazing. Now I have a chunkier face and arms. That I hate! Why can't I be the skinny me with an ass ugh. Idk I'm really down about it. I have enough fat for my ass now but wtf do I do about my calves and arms and face now :( anyone else feel this way?
3 days!!
In three days I will have booty!! Yay! I can't wait to have this over with & be healed! Stress is at a max! We are driving from Md to Florida! I have lost my mind lol
Surgery Tomorrow!!
My surgery is tomorrow and I am having major 2nd thoughts!!! Ugh too late now! I'm mostly hating leaving my daughter. :( I just want to cry!! In a few hours I will be headed on a 17 hour drive! I hate car rides!!!!!!!!!! I pray I have an early surgery with no complications & maybe just maybe he will let me leave early! I'd love to leave Friday morning!!
I'm in Miami bitch!!!!
After a very very very long 17 hour drive I am finally in Miami! It's almost 4 am and I have surgery at 7am. Time to try to sleep before the big day I pray everything goes well! Il be updating shortly
And I forgot to mention
I'm scared to death!!! I just want to be home with my daughter
Surgery was yesterday!
I'm going to try to post very detailed and I will post before and after pics once I'm not so swollen my eyes look like I'm Asian from all the facial swelling! Well my surgery was at 7 am yesterday! I was scared to death almost backed out even though I had paid all that money! Dr Salzhauer and his staff are hilarious and keep you very calm though. I didn't have any of my prescriptions so I hadn't had a Xanax to calm my nerves! The anastegiologist came in and asked me questions about my health. He said do you smoke, drink, do any drugs I said no he said well your freaking boring! Lol Chelsea came in and took pics! Super sweet lady!! Then dr salzhauer came in and marked me up! Asked me what kind of ass I want, upside down heart apple etc. even asked if I could think of a famous persons ass I was going for. I said heart shaped and I didn want a huge shelf I didn't want ppl thinking they could sit their drinks on my ass lol. After surgery is the worst part because your in pain and shivering and can't stop or get warm. I drank tons of Gatorade and then my bf and I headed back to the hotel. I've been taking my pain meds religiously and I'm having hardly any pain at all!! The worst part is being nauseous! I think that's from the pain meds though ugh! I've been eating low sodium chicken soup yuck! & unsalted crackers! Gatorade, water and oj with my iron pills. Today my nurse came!! Loves her! She said do you want a shower I said hell yes! My garment was covered in blood and so were my clothes! Showering felt great! My ass is huge and wide and on my back. She said it looks great and swelling will go down and il drop! I can't wait right now my Bfs face looks panicked lol. Lots of belly swelling too! Feeling very fat! She took pics to show the dr but other than being naseous and impatient I feel pretty good. My TT was much worse! I've been trying to walk frequently which is hard cause I feel like ima puke! Laying on my belly is killing my neck!! Well that's it for now I will be seeing dr salz either Monday or this Friday because I told him I really want to leave early I miss my daughter! Thanks ladies
Day 3 and I feel awful!
I'm not in pain really. Stopped taking pain meds early this morning and switched to Tylenol but I am so nauseous that if I could take this surgery back I would! I feel so sick and Laying down is hurting my neck. Today I really feel like this surgery isn't worth it
I can't wait to work out and get rid of this big ass mistake!
I'm going to lose this weight as soon as my 6wks is up and pray that I get my pre op butt back!! Before I gained any of this shit! I'm so depressed! I wasted so much money and now I'm so damn uncomfortable and ugly too!

HELP me solve my no start problem please 1998 m3
Hey guys, I am new to the forum so sorry if this has already been talked about elsewhere. Some background info...I recently bought a 1998 m3 w/123k. Within a few weeks of owning it the expansion tank released all the anti-freeze (steamed out). So I took it in and had to get a new expansion tank and all the hoses etc.. I had no choice to do it myself since Its my daily driver. I was charged $470 for this parts and labor. While I had it in I expressed a concern I had had about the car not "firing up" great. sometimes I would have to stomp on the pedal to start it up, does not always fire up right away like it should. Without even checking he said I need a fuel pump assembly and pressure regulator and he could do it for $660. I said no thanks because I was not very happy with him and Id rather order the parts myself IF thats the problem. I also had a brake light switch installed for a check control error of brake light circuit. Long story short he says he checked the fuel pump and it isnt holding pressure. A few weeks later (tonight), the car would not start. lights windows radio air all work but it would not crank over at all. it makes a hissing sound sounds like its coming out of the stereo or control module. I googled it and it sounds like maybe I have a blown fuse, ignition or bad starter, or maybe it is infact the fuel pump assembly? After googling I tried to start it again and it caught, I drove it around briefly and all seemed fine...anyone have some insight.
Also a few weeks ago I had the spining key problem..I am just not sold on wheter or not it is a bad fuel pump or something wrong with the starter or even just a fuse. How do I check, etc..

Okay, they didn't actually get him for nothing. To acquire the Phillies center fielder (who will almost certainly play left in LA), the Dodgers gave up 25-year-old reliever Josh Lindblom and enigmatic right-handed pitching prospect Ethan Martin. Reports are that the Dodgers felt comfortable moving Lindblom after acquiring Brandon League from the Mariners last night, but in reality, they should have always been comfortable trading Josh Lindblom for value, because Josh Lindblom is simply not a particularly valuable player.
Over the last two years, Lindblom has thrown 77 innings in the big leagues and posted a 2.91 ERA, so on the surface, he appears to be a good young relief pitcher. In reality, though, there are warning signs everywhere.
Lindblom is an extreme fly ball pitcher, as only 69 of his 141 career balls in play (34.3%) have been hit on the ground. Not surprisingly, that has translated into a bit of a home run problem, as he's given up 1.05 HR/9, a bit above the league average for NL relievers. But, HR-prone fly ball guys can still be good relievers as long as they pound the strike zone and miss a lot of bats.
Unfortunately for the Phillies, Lindblom has been essentially average at those two things as well. His 9.0% BB%/22.7% K% are just barely ahead of the average marks for an NL reliever (9.2 BB%/21.7% K%), and are supported by the underlying numbers as well — he throws an average number of strikes and gets an average amount of contact.
Toss in the significant career platoon split (.244 wOBA allowed to RHBs, .360 wOBA to LHBs), and Lindblom essentially profiles as a decent situational middle reliever. This is basically the same skillset the Dodgers got in Brandon League, so their bullpen won't take much of a hit at all in this series of moves.
While the Phillies were unlikely to retain Victorino beyond this season and may not have wanted to risk making him a $12 million qualifying offer to get draft pick compensation if he signed elsewhere, getting an okay reliever and a prospect who is probably a reliever is still an underwhelming haul for one of the better position players to change places this summer. Victorino isn't having the same kind of All-Star season he had a year ago, but his high contact/gap power/great baserunning/good defense package is still quite valuable. Even without as much power as he showed a year ago, he's at +2.1 WAR in 431 plate appearances. Average hitters who do everything else well are nifty pieces, and the Dodgers just got a big upgrade in left field without having to give up much to get it.
Victorino replaces a black hole of a job share in left field, pushing Bobby Abreu and Tony Gwynn back to the bench where they belong. Given that he's also replacing guys who were offering no production, this trade has the potential to offer the same kind of upgrade as last week's Hanley Ramirez acquisition. The Dodgers have to be thrilled that they could solve their left field issues at this kind of low price, and they continue to put pressure on the Giants to make a counter if they want to keep pace in the NL West. This new Dodgers roster is a lot better than the one they were running out there two weeks ago.
For the Phillies, you can understand why they made this deal, assuming they weren't going to give Victorino a qualifying offer in order to get draft pick compensation, but getting a bad command fly ball reliever and a bad command fly ball pitching prospect is not exactly a huge return. The Dodgers have to be pleased with how the last few weeks have gone, and if they add Ryan Dempster this afternoon, they might just be the big trade deadline winners.

Global Supply Chain Management
Why can some retailers offer the same product as competitors at much lower prices? They're more successful in managing their customers, suppliers, and the entire supply chain.
What is a supply chain? Well, think about your smartphone. The circuit board, case, camera lens, battery, and display components were produced by various manufacturers in different countries. Those components are assembled into larger ones, which are eventually all put together as the final product. The smartphone is then shipped to various distributors that send it to retailers who sell it to the consumer – you. Every step along that process is part of the supply chain, and the ability to manage complex global supply chains is fundamental to success in the global economy.
In the interdisciplinary Global Supply Chain Management (GSCM) concentration and minor, you will learn to integrate the key functions of marketing, logistics, operations management, computer information systems, accounting, and finance. You will span traditional business functionality and explore relationships that create value for multiple stakeholders across functions, organizations, and nations.
Future careers, post-grad opportunities
The Wall Street Journal recently noted that select universities, including Bryant, have introduced Global Supply Chain Supply Management programs and that employers are noticing. Supply chain management is an in-demand field and a growing area of job opportunities around the world. An understanding of supply chain management in a global context will prepare you for a wide range of careers in areas including manufacturing, retail, purchasing, wholesale, logistics, transportation, consulting and information technology. You will also be prepared for graduate studies.
Global Supply Chain Management faculty
The Global Supply Chain Management faculty brings supply chain expertise from a wide range of business disciplines into an integrated curriculum. Their extensive industry experience coupled with research and teaching in such as places as China, India, Korea, Australia, Chile, and Eastern and Western Europe bring a global perspective into the classroom that is necessary to understand complex supply chains in the modern economy. The GSCM faculty use state-of-the-art technology and hands-on learning techniques that provide a balance between supply chain theory and practice in the classroom.
Teresa McCarthy, Ph.D.
Associate Professor of Marketing Global Supply Chain Management Program Coordinator
Global supply chain management might sound dry, but not in McCarthy's classes. Her knowledge and energy bring to life the importance of carefully managing complex systems from start to finish. Her students learn quickly how the price increase of a tee shirt is directly linked to a flood in Pakistan that severely damaged cotton crops, creating a strain on global demand.
A member of the Academy of Marketing Science, American Marketing Association, and the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals, McCarthy has written book chapters, including "Zara: The Business Model for Fast Fashion," as well as journal articles.

Jabbie is a Bryant-made success story. While still in school, he started at Banneker Industries, Inc. as an intern. Today, he is responsible for business development, sales, marketing, and contract management for the supply-chain management solutions provider.
"When I was at Bryant, the academic program was extremely challenging," Jabbie says, adding: "I am stunned at how much the school has grown and evolved – diversifying the degree programs, growing the international business program, and fielding competitive Division 1 sports teams…Wow!"

"We just executed," said OLB Cameron Lawrence. "Our coaches were making great calls and we executed well. When you do that things just fall in place."
Something which fell hard, besides the visiting Tigers (0-2, 0-1) was the much-discussed troubles Mississippi State and Dan Mullen have endured against the SEC's Western Division. A 3-12 record in three years was tolerable given that all the wins were over Ole Miss…but a breakout was needed for program pride. Getting it against a Division foe that tormented State with close calls in 2010 and '11 was all the sweeter to veteran Dogs.
"We've always felt we could complete with people in the SEC, beat people in the SEC," CB Johnthan Banks said. "But it feels good to get a win against somebody other than TSUN."
Mullen wasn't overly bothered about specific records or opponents. His worry as the game developed early was avoiding the same second-week letdowns and breakdowns of the first three years. Then when the Bulldogs managed to A) miss a field goal, B) fumble away a gilded opportunity, and C) give up a kickoff return touchdown and lead to open the second half, Mullen saw some old bad signs.
But not, he said, the same sort of squad mindset in adversity.
"I thought we were playing pretty well, then doing things that in the past have just bitten us. We did some of the silly things we've never been able to respond to. But I like the poise our players and coaches had on both sides of the ball. There never was any concern we were going to make the plays."
The Bulldogs did just that. With QB Tyler Russell slicing Auburn apart in the air, and TB LaDarius Perkins leading a ruthless ground game, State scored consecutive touchdowns to regain first the lead and then control. They put it away in the final period on a 21-yard scamper by Perkins for the final margin of victory. It was State's first win over Auburn since 2007, not to mention the first time since 1999 a Bulldog team won their conference opener.
Sure, there was all the standard scouting and scheming. The bottom line was the Bulldogs were better and just plain bigger where it matters in most SEC contests. "I really think our offensive line was better than their defensive line," Smith said. "And it showed."
It did indeed. Even as State averaged six yards per snap, with over a score's worth of plays going for double-digit gains, the fancy numbers came down to superiority at point of contact. A Bulldog line that was subject to preseason questions had the right answers against a surprisingly outmanned and overmatched Auburn bunch.
"The line held up fabulously and they worked together," said Mullen. Russell benefitted most from steady blocking, throwing 20-of-29 for 222 yards and touchdowns of 30, 13, and three yards. Then again the junior quarterback gave his protectors a hand, or foot rather. Russell showed a fine sense when and where to move around the pocket and even vacate it. Not so much to run, but to roll; two of his scoring throws came with Russell breaking to the right and letting targets come open in the end zone.
Russell did not have everything his way, taking two official sacks and several other hard knockdowns; typically on blind-side pressures. He bounced back up each time and typically made the next play work. "We knew they were going to come in and try to hit you," he said. "That's the thing you can't worry about, when you start thinking about the rush you're going to throw picks. Our guys stayed calm and we were able to make big plays."
Perkins and cohorts made their own plays. Auburn had a pair of 300-pound tackles filling the middle yet Bulldog backs consistently found them shoved out of the way or just running the wrong way. With Tiger defensive ends committed to blitzing that left open ground ahead. Perkins picked up 83 yards on his 14 carries with 166 net rushing yards.
"We watched the inside guys and three-technique guys and knew we could run the ball on them," Perkins said. "That was working because of the great blocking of the o-line. And because of passing the ball more, the pass opened up the run."
Auburn could not run. Nor pass all that well. Sophomore Kiehl Frazier had a long, hard day dealing with steady coverage downfield and a defensive scheme that kept him contained and looking anyway. Senior linebacker Lawrence said the trick was not letting Frazier use his obvious mobility any more than possible.
"It was a young quarterback, we knew we could change things up with different looks. We came at him from all directions, we'd blitz him or drop in coverage. I think that might have confused him a little bit." Or a lot as Frazier was 13-of-22 for 125 yards with no scores and three interceptions. Two of those picks went to Banks' account, the other to CB Darius Slay in the end zone to nip Auburn's best and last chance to score an offensive touchdown.
"We played good as a team, not just individually," Banks said. "We just played lights-out on defense. We were really just trying to shut them out."
The Dogs came pretty close. Nobody scored in the first period at all, though State should have after a smart opening drive to the Tiger 19. PK Devon Bell lined his 36-yard field goal try wide left at 10:44. A series of punts later State was on their 31 and WR Chris Smith catching a Russell throw.
And fumbling it away. A facemask flag helped Auburn get as far as the five-yard line before the Tigers had to kick for three. They were good at 9:40. But as Mullen noted, his team bounced back promptly. Russell directed a 70-yard drive in seven snaps, the last a perfect play-fake that froze everyone Auburn while TE Marcus Green found a great big open seam along the hashmarks. He caught Russell's toss inside the 15 and made the rest of the way on his own steam at 6:53.
State should have expanded immediately as Frazier, rushed but not flushed, threw from a collapsing pocket right to Banks at the 42. Banks barely touched the sideline at the 34 to prevent a pick-six and an illegal block crimped the drive. Bell got another shot, from 46 yards this time with the wind, only to leave it low enough for Angelo Blackson to block. Another Banks interception of Frazier led to nothing due to a block-in-back on the return try.
So it was a 7-3 locker room lead that ought to have been twice as strong. Mullen actually thought it would be sufficient. "I told the defense it they don't score, we win the game. I guess I lied to our guys, within ten seconds of the second half we needed to score again!" Because Onterrio McCalebb took Bell's kick a yard deep in his end zone and ran it all the other way for a go-ahead touchdown. He used a gap opened when teammate Avery Young held, literally, Lawrence to create the needed seam.
"Some would say, and I would agree!" Lawrence could laugh, later. Seriously, "There wasn't any doubt in my mind our offense was going to take the field and respond. I didn't worry about it one bit."
Instead Russell threw for 20 and 11 yards to get a response-drive going. Perkins converted 3rd-and-5, after Auburn was offsides on 3rd-and-10; and after a 16-yard strike to C.Smith it was Russell rolling right and WR Chad Bumphis getting end zone separation. As well as a foot down in the right-back corner for the 13-yard touchdown at 11:35.
"They responded without a hiccup and that's what you want to see," Mullen said.
Auburn didn't. If anything the Tigers had no real response relying on rushes and keepers against a Dog defense looking run. Getting the ball back, State manufactured a 10-play scoring drive featuring a 21-yard strike to WR Jameon Lewis as Russell really stood-in under assault. A personal foul meant first-and-goal at the five and on second down Russell saw Green drifting alone in the end zone at 4:38.
"Basically we wore them down," perkins said. "The pass was killing them, we'd keep passing and then hit them with the run boom-boom! That slowed them down because they had got the momentum for a while with that kickoff return. But after that we shut them down and put the game away."
Perkins had that honor, taking a counter-handoff at Auburn's 21-yard line and shedding a backfield tackle try by Jermaine Whitehead. He broke another hit at the line, got around T'Sharvan Bell's reach at the 15 and made it to the left pylon ahead of cornerback Chris Davis at 12:33 for the clincher.
Playing for pride, the Tigers mustered their first real drives of the last half. One got as far as the Bulldog 13, before Frazier missed high and Slay was there in the end zone for his interception. Next time, Frazier was hit by LB Matthew Wells to force a fumble recovered by DT Josh Boyd. The last chance to score offensively also ended with a forced fumble, recovered by DT Quay Evans at State's 35 yard line.
Lawrence had a team-best 10 tackles with one sack, while backup DE Preston Smith accounted for the other bagging of Frazier. State tallied nine total tackles for losses. Auburn got huge efforts from safety Demetruce McNeal (18 tackles), Whitehead (12) and LB Daren Bates (10). They just did not get enough push from the front, where T.Smith and company were more than the Tigers could handle. Nor did an offense which mustered just 3.5 yards per snap and turned the ball over five times help matters much.
For Bulldog veterans stung by previous setbacks to Tiger teams this was a measure of redemption. Not to mention a chance to finally silence the Western Division topic. "One scripture I believe in, you reap what you sow," Broomfield said. "And we've been putting in a lot of work, not just this year but the four years I've been here and haven't got a win. To get a win like that and play the way we did was a great feeling."
Senior T.Smith earned the last word, though. "It feels great," Smith said. "It still feels great that we can beat them and beat them pretty good. I think it's kind of payback for the close losses."

Rotary razors are popular with lots of men, but experts say that the nature of your face and beard play a large role in determining whether one is right for you. We noted some of the advantages of rotary shavers in the introduction to this report, but experts say they have some significant drawbacks for some users. Where foil shavers, such as the Braun Series 7 790cc (Est. $165) are an appropriate choice for almost any face, the nature of your beard can dictate your level of happiness with a rotary shaver. Dan Koeppel at TheSweethome.com notes that those with thick, strong beards, and without a history of ingrown hair, will find the slightly quieter operation and contour-following ability of a rotary to be an appropriate choice, but others will be significantly less pleased.
If you determine that a rotary shaver is what you want, Philips Norelco is far and away the category leader; no other brand makes the cut, so to speak, in expert and user reviews.
The current top of the line model is the Philips Norelco Shaver 9700 (Est. $320), but we recommend bypassing that shaver and opting for the step-down Philips Norelco Shaver 9300 (Est. $200) instead. It's roughly $100 cheaper and is spec for spec identical except for two features. One is that the 9700 includes an advanced progress display that shows the battery life remaining as a percentage rather than the five-level indicator in the 9300. The 9700's cleaning system also will display where the razor is in its self-cleaning SmartClean cycle, something that the SmartClean system in the 9300 can't do. And outside of cosmetic differences (the 9700 is black, while the 9300 is blue), that's pretty much it. The shaving system and self-cleaning system, minus the advanced display options, are otherwise identical, and so should be performance.
Expert reviews of these shavers are slim, at least at the sites we consider to be most credible. Adam Clark Estes at Gizmodo tries out the 9700 and says that it "gave me the closest shave of my life." At Moo.Review, Adam Vegas agrees that "the shaver cuts incredibly close." He adds, however, that there's a learning curve to getting that close shave; among other things, "it required a steady hand and intense concentration for your upper lip and going close to your sideburns," he says.
According to Estes, the key to the closeness of the shave is a change in the Philips Norelco blade technology. The company has replaced the older flat blades with V-shaped ones that are said to cut 30 percent closer. While Estes wonders a little about the accuracy of that claim, he concedes that the 9700 provided a closer shave, and one without nicks or skin irritation. He also appreciates that the shaver is waterproof, adding "I used shaving cream in the shower which definitely helped with the smoothness factor." If you are most interested in a wet/dry shaver, the Philips Norelco is one to consider, but first check out some other choices in our section on wet/dry shavers.
But while Estes is pretty pleased with the Philips Norelco shaver's performance, he does take a pretty healthy shot at the SmartClean stand and recommends against even using it (it's not required for charging the Philips Norelco 9000 series shavers). He says that the stand is poorly designed, un-intuitive to use (at least for those that like to avoid reading manuals at all costs), that it's prone to spilling the cleaning solution if jostled, and that drying time is "excessive." Vegas concurs regarding drying time, adding that in his tests, it took almost four hours.
User reviews for the Philips Norelco 9000 series are more limited than we see for some of the more popular foil razors, but with more than 665 posted for the Shaver 9300 at Amazon.com alone, there is more than enough feedback to gauge user satisfaction. Overall, it is pretty good; the Philips Norelco Shaver 9300 earns a 4-star rating at Amazon.com. Elsewhere, though feedback is less, satisfaction is even higher -- for example, a 4.6-star rating at BestBuy.com following 80 reviews, with 93 percent giving it a recommendation.
Those looking to spend less for a rotary shaver -- or any shaver for that matter -- might also want to consider the Philips Norelco Shaver 4100 (Est. $60). It's a big step down in performance and features compared to the Series 9000 shavers, however. It uses older style lift and cut blades (not the V blades found in the Philips top-of-the line shavers) and uses a floating rather than a pivoting head. There's no cleaning function, not a huge loss according to some feedback, and no charging stand. Like all Philips Norelco rotary models, this is a wet/dry shaver.
We found no testing-based feedback from reliable experts, but user reviews are sufficient to get a handle on satisfaction. In nearly 2,300 user reviews at Amazon.com, the electric razor earns a 4.2 star rating, while at Best.Buy.com, it earns a score of 4.4 stars based on almost 525 reviews, with recommendations from 92 percent of owners. We see complaints, of course, including comments gripes that shaving with the Shaver 4100 takes longer than what's ideal, but most users seem happy enough with performance, noise level (relative to other shavers) and, especially, the value.
Philips Norelco shavers are covered by a 45-day money-back guarantee and a two-year warranty.

Second annual report released
As we enter our third year of I-90 Wildlife Watch, we have summarized the results of our project's second full year from November 2011 through November 2012 into an annual report. In our second year, over 2,000 visitors reported 282 valid (i.e. presumed authentic) wildlife sightings made in the survey area, comprising a total of 241 live and 41 dead animals.
"We are thrilled that a full year after our project's launch there continues to be interest from motorists in reporting what they see from their cars as they drive I-90 in the project area," said Jen Watkins, project coordinator with I-90 Wildlife Bridges Coalition. "The people submitting reports on our site are not only contributing to biologists and planners knowledge of wildlife presence in this important landscape, but providing a human perspective on their experience through their comments."
Reports represented 15 mammal species, including deer, elk, black bears, cougars, coyotes, foxes, otters, mice, hare, raccoons, skunks, woodrats and one cow, as well as several bird species. In one report from 2012, the motorist reported that the animal "Was in the roadway, I put my flashers on to alert the driver behind me. The coyote moved safely into the median."
During our second year several events stood out, catching not only motorists' attention but our own. During last year's Memorial Day weekend, a black bear attempting to cross the busy highway near Hyak on Sunday morning didn't make it: the 250-pound male was killed by a vehicle in the eastbound lanes after reportedly navigating westbound traffic. The vehicle immediately drove away, and the bear's carcass was collected by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife – which reported it would use the hide for classroom education.
Then, in August 2012, several people informed us that a cougar was struck by a vehicle on I-90 east of North Bend during the evening. This upsetting incident was apparently witnessed by many motorists, some of whom reportedly slowed or stopped their vehicles to investigate the scene and protect the animal from further trauma. The cougar, which was bleeding from the head, sat dazed in the roadway and was apparently fatally injured. Coincidentally, the collision occurred within a mile or two of a live cougar crossing reported to I-90 Wildlife Watch in July.
Our second year produced more live wildlife sightings along Interstate 90 than dead reports, but the unsuccessful crossing of animals over Interstate 90 is a reminder of the safety risks posed to both wildlife and motorists when roadways cut through wildlife habitats. Within the I-90 Wildlife Watch project area, the Washington State Department of Transportation is working to create safer passage for people and wildlife through the I-90 Snoqualmie Pass East Project. Beyond providing data and a narrative to wildlife approaching and attempting to cross Interstate 90, the motorists reporting wildlife sightings are directly informing department as they construct and monitor this project.
"I-90 Wildlife Watch helps the Washington State Department of Transportation by tapping into several thousand sets of eyes as commuters traverse Snoqualmie Pass," stated Craig Broadhead, South Central Region WSDOT biologist. "This citizen science effort provides invaluable information to help us tailor objectives and ultimately define success regarding the restoration of ecological connectivity on the I-90 Project."
Results from the project's second year are provided in a report on our Maps and Results page, as are acknowledgements to the many individuals and organizations that have made this project possible and a description of changes that are underway to the project in our third year.

Pfizer Alzheimer's Results Could Spell Trouble for Eli Lilly
An experimental Alzheimer's drug called Bapineuzumab developed by Pfizer (PFE), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) and Elan Corp. (ELN) did not prove effective in a late-stage trial, sending shares of the companies lower on Tuesday.
But the result could also foreshadow problems for Eli Lilly (LLY), whose future earnings are even more dependent on its experimental Alzheimer's treatment solanezumab than Pfizer's or Johnson Johnson's earnings, argues Barclays analyst C. Anthony Butler.
For various reasons, Lilly's drug may show different results than Pfizer's. The trial was focused on patients with a certain gene sequence, and solanezumab works differently from bapineuzumab.
But Lilly's future could be closely tied to the drug's success, which is still a very open question: "Our peak sales assumptions for solanezumab are $4B with a 25% probability of success."
"As a percent of our probability-adjusted DCF, solanezumab represents about 5% of total value per share. Of note, our revenue and EPS are not probability adjusted - solanezumab represents nearly 12% of total FY2020E revenues and 28% of total FY2020 estimated EPS."
Lilly shares were recently down 4.2%
