The compound word 'healthcare' no longer stands alone today as many have used the descriptive coined phrase 'broken healthcare system'. After having an accident which left her with serious injuries, paramedic Amy Bennett of Harrison found herself caught up in the confusing maze of prescription pain killers, depression and defeat. To add to an already overwhelming situation, Amy was also diagnosed with fibromyalgia – a disease leaving most with debilitating pain and stealing their lives. Amy decided to fight back.
Born in little Rock, Amy was the adopted child of Steve and Sylvia Bennett. Steve was vice president of Miller-Reid Advertising before recently retiring. He had transferred to Chattanooga when Amy was just three years old. The couple would foster-parent temporarily, until children could be placed with permanent families. It was a way of life for Amy to see children come and go - along with the Lhasa Apso puppies the family bred and raised.
"I have loved animals since I was a little kid, and wanted to be a veterinarian. We always had animals in the house," Amy says. "I have two horses now, but growing up I had always loved horses. I think my parents hoped I would grow out of it, but I never did. We didn't have any horses so I would go to farms and work for free just to get riding lessons, and my parents would send me to horse camp every summer," Amy says.
A tom-boy growing up, Amy loved to be outdoors camping, fishing or hiking. She attended MTSU studying animal science and biology but never finished veterinarian school. "I overloaded myself in school and was just burned out. I have worked with animals most of my life, but veterinary jobs don't pay a lot in Chattanooga," Amy says.
In 2004, Amy was working at Unum and was also in the Naval Reserves. She was about to be deployed just before a messy, winter night's drive changed her life.
"It was drizzling and icy. I was talking to my fiancé on the speaker phone telling him I was a little worried with the road conditions and a car clipped my S10 pickup. My truck fish tailed and I rolled going down the side of the mountain. My fiancé heard the whole thing from the speaker. The only thing I could think of was 'oh my gosh, I am going to die'," Amy recalls.
The S10 pickup was thrown into surrounding trees, and the driver of an 18-wheeler pulled Amy out. "I was in Grundy County, but for some reason a Coffee County ambulance had picked me up taking me to Manchester Hospital. They may have just been traveling through," Amy says.
Amy had head injuries, a broken nose, a chest contusion and back injuries. She was not sure at the time how or if she would fully recover. With overwhelming confusion of medical advice and having to obtain disability, Amy felt defeated and became depressed.
She and her fiancé ended up marrying in 2006 only be divorced a few years later as the stress of recovery while on a cocktail of multiple medications controlled her life. "We had just bought this farm in Franklin and I didn't know what I was going to do. Pretty much, every day I just felt horrible," Amy says.
Amy was put on Ultram, Hydrocodone, and Lyrica. "I have never been on illegal drugs, but I can imagine that is how you feel when you take acid. I felt like I wasn't in my body - like it wasn't reality," Amy explains. The medication's side effects had caused problems and other medications were prescribed to combat them, which in turn only caused more problems for Amy.
"I had a really bad reaction with Lyrica - like a hysteria reaction. I couldn't walk straight and I was really weak and shaky. It felt like someone was taking a cattle prod and shocking my brain. My husband had them put me in the hospital and I was there for about a week while they weaned me off some of the meds. I just thought, 'I can't do this anymore,' I kept seeing patients on welfare and disability who weren't able to do anything and - that is not me, I like to stay active," Amy insists.
"I got really mad. I almost felt that if the doctors had been a little more aggressive in treating me in the beginning, I might not have been where I ended up. But because I was in a car wreck, a lot of doctors wouldn't even touch me. I feel that so much time was wasted and it just damaged my muscles and the medications caused more problems – I felt like a walking pharmacy," Amy says.
A show in Nashville called Dr. Asa Andrew got Amy's attention as he described how natural, smarter choices could heal the body. "I got a lot of good ideas from him, and I wanted to try to manage my condition more naturally without medication," Amy decided.
The year 2009 changed everything for her. After Amy's divorce, she took control of her life again. She listened to her body and told physicians that she wanted to stop taking prescription medications.
"They were really interested in how I would do because they really didn't think I would be able to manage it," Amy says.
Amy used to take Yoga classes before her accident and she decided to start with that. "I worked through the pain and I noticed that the more active I was – the better I felt. If I let it go a few days in a row, it was always pretty tough starting back, so I have had to be strict about it," Amy insists.
"The first few months were really tough, but I haven't taken pills for my fibromyalgia since 2009. Now I work out and I have a pretty physical job… I definitely had to just work through the pain first. With fibromyalgia the less you use your muscles, the more debilitated you get," Amy says.
While facing the pain and sleepless nights head on, Amy continued to press on determined not to give in to getting back on medications that were not helping her to feel better or to have quality of life.
"I recalled some of the stuff I had heard from Dr. Andrew on the anti-inflammatory diet. I have to admit that I was eating a little better before I got into EMS," Amy laughs. "Once I got into EMS my diet was horrible with fast food, easy grab food and energy drinks and, I was feeling horrible… I was exhausted."
Amy had never had issues with her weight so for her eating healthy was not about losing weight, but it was about her health. She found that what she consumed would either harm her or benefit her body and she was determined to allow natural, healthy food to be part of her health plan.
"I didn't ease into it – I jumped right in. I cut off sweet tea and sodas and just drank water for the longest time. I ate fruits and veggies, a small amount of protein but mostly I was vegetarian. I have added a few things back, but I have learned to start reading labels and learn good carbs and bad carbs. It takes a while to learn it and to discipline yourself, but I keep learning every day," Amy says.
She enjoyed working out, but sometimes it would get boring and Amy wanted to kick it up a notch. Her friend Bernie introduced her to P90X and let her use a DVD and nutrition book.
"The warm up was more intense than some of the exercises and I thought, 'This is insane', but as I did more - it got easier and I was seeing amazing results," Amy vows. "I see a difference in my mentality and energy level. I feel so much better and I am not exhausted anymore. I sleep normally and I don't have to drink anything to help me wake up – I always have energy and I can definitely see a change."
Amy worked as an EMT, but wanted to become certified as a paramedic and now works for Puckett EMS. She started buying supplements and products of Beachbody (Manufacturers of P90X) and eventually became a Beachbody coach.
"I wanted to be a coach just to get the discount, but then I thought, 'I feel so much better since I started this and I want to help others feel better, eat better or lose weight.' When I found out what was in all that fast food I had been eating – it was disgusting. I want to help people be healthier and not have to be on all these pills."
Amy has been able to motivate others to take control of their health by the same natural methods she had found. From her time in hospitals observing patients to those she meets on the job, Amy realized that she could have been on a pathway of just existing.
"I saw the progression of what being on medication was doing to me. I would have probably ended up in a wheelchair and addicted to pain medication. I didn't want that. I love my horses and it killed me when I couldn't ride them. I like to show and compete and, with having a really physical job, I feel like I have overcome a lot," she says.
"When I have a patient who says they have fibromyalgia and I tell them, 'I do too…' they look at me like I am crazy because I had just picked them up on a stretcher and put them in an ambulance," Amy expresses. "The stretcher weighs more than I do!"
"A few have gotten a little mad about it because they see the disease as hopeless and like they just have to just sit there and waste away on all these medications – it is work, but you can get through it."
Amy encourages others to give up an hour of television and go for a walk or to do anything to stay active.
"I try to find ways that will help motivate people and to break down their excuses," Amy says. "There is more to life than letting it pass you by."

Professional, Detailed, Knowledgeable = Amazing Results! - Denver, CO
The procedure itself was very straight forward, I...
Afterward I had a slight yellow tint to my face. Over the next three days my face turned a little red and by the third day, just as Jessica had said, my face began to peel. It was as if I got a sunburn. I was given special mild face wash, moisturizer, and sunscreen to use during the "recovery" period. I was told I was not supposed to exercise hard for about 2 weeks if I remember correctly but after about 7 days I was back in the gym sweating. I would say the peeling lasted about 4 days. By the seventh day post peel my face was fresh and glowing.
I was very happy with my results and I have had a second peel already and the second one stung even less and there was FAR less peeling this time. My face looks even better and my next peel will be the Obagi Blue Peel! This one will be a little more intense but I am confident in Jessica's abilities and can't wait to have it done and see the results!! I will try and post before and after pictures then.
I originally went to Colorado Plastic Surgery Center to have breast augmentation and liposculpture done. I was beyond pleased with my results and the level of professionalism, skill and knowledge Dr. S and his staff have. He is an amazing doctor, to say the least! Approximately 6 months later, I decided I wanted to do something about the hyperpigmentation on my face and knew there was no where else I wanted to go but Colorado Plastic Surgery Center. After having a consultation, I started using the Obagi skin care products and had my first chemical peel done. I have had AMAZING results and couldn't be happier! I am constantly getting compliments on how beautiful, young and fresh my skin is and have had friends make an appt too.

Is it the red hair? Perhaps the fact he was a combative, no-nonsense midfielder? Whatever the answer, the latest unravelling in the rapid fall from grace of Bolton Wanderers this week exposes the way football has treated Gary Megson over the past five years for what it is: folly.
There is a symmetry about the timing of Bolton's decision to sack Megson, in the winter of 2009, and Owen Coyle, fours days ago. Both their sides were 18th at the time, except Megson's Bolton were in the Premier League, while Coyle's have fallen into what for them, with about £110m of debt, is a Championship abyss.
Coyle felt the love in the media this week when it was pointed out that his side would have been sitting a respectable 12th, three points off the play-off places, had his players only won at Millwall last weekend. No one ever bothered to mention that Megson had two games in hand back in the winter of 2009, which could have shifted his side up to 10th. He cleared off out of town.
He was the man who took Bolton Wanderers into the last 16 of the Uefa Cup and brought Gary Cahill to the Reebok when Martin O'Neill wasn't much interested in him, yet he departed as the manager the supporters never liked; abused in the stands even before he was appointed because Bolton felt they deserved better and who was absent from the fans' forums which Sam Allardyce always frequented. When I tweeted the view that Bolton's demise left Megson's treatment looking very bizarre on Tuesday, a fan replied that "it wasn't really about results. It was more him as a person. You can't take on the fans". Megson is "not happy unless he's fighting with someone I'm afraid", replied another.
Certainly, some managers can cause a row in an empty room. It is one of the reasons why Glenn Hoddle only frequents TV studios. Yet it really has been very difficult, in the course of researching the particulars of Megson, to find anyone who can provide evidence of such character flaws. He was, by all available accounts, perfectly happy to engage with fans at Sheffield Wednesday, where he was quite welcome before his premature dismissal by the interfering and overbearing Milan Mandaric. When Megson's Wednesday won the steel city derby 1-0 in front of 36,000 fans last February and went third in the League One table, his euphoric players ran to him and hoisted him up, in a show of support.
He was sacked three days later, by an owner apparently affronted by a manager who had the temerity to question his interference. David Jones, whom Mandaric had already interviewed, was less awkward and his reward was the chance to take Wednesday to promotion, with Megson's team. As Coyle cleared his Bolton desk on Tuesday, Jones was getting the dreaded vote of confidence from Mandaric after seven defeats in eight which leaves Wednesday grounded third bottom of the Championship.
Under the terms of a severance agreement which puts him on gardening leave, Megson, who twice won promotions to the Premier League for West Bromwich Albion, would need Mandaric's approval to go for the Bolton or Blackburn Rovers job. That he won't get a call from either is a symptom of the current attachment to the "new breed of manager" in British football – the ones who have the star quality or who have perhaps been touched by Manchester United and so will delight the fans. The thought of Roy Keane and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer have been royally entertained in Lancashire this past week.
Some of the new breed do have the star quality, such as Liverpool's 39-year-old Brendan Rodgers, who we have discovered this week to be a very smart student of old men's techniques – presenting his players pre-season with a sealed envelope containing the names of those who would rest on their laurels, just like Sir Alex Ferguson did in 1993.
But sometimes it is best to dismiss what will go down well with supporters. Coyle, a "new breed" candidate who has been on the fringes of Liverpool's interest in the past three years and Arsenal's when it seemed Arsène Wenger would stay no longer, talked such an extremely good game that you knew his players would run through walls and hedges for him. But players can only take that form of coaching so far. There comes a time when tactics and a strategy have to kick in. There was a feeling at Turf Moor that Coyle's departure for Bolton wasn't such a disaster, even though his successor, Brian Laws, didn't see 2010 out.
Of course, there's nothing new in a manager being recruited for his perceived star quality: his name, his face, his press conference style – and perhaps the colour of his hair. As Simon Kuper and Stefan Szymanski's book Soccernomics points out, it is why no club ever hires a woman, and it is actually also why Arsenal were so brave to hire Wenger. Tony Adams, Arsenal's captain at that time, recalls in his autobiography Addicted how he thought a the time: "What does this Frenchman know about football? He wears glasses and looks more like a schoolteacher. He's not going to be as good as George [Graham]. Does he even speak English properly?"
Liverpool were also brave to hire a man who sounded like a schoolteacher in 2010, but when Roy Hodgson went down badly with supporters at Anfield, he experienced what Megson felt and the powers-that-be down there didn't hang about. Anfield would have been wise to maintain Hodgson's employment in the early years of transition to new American ownership but they allowed the supporters to appoint their manager instead. Star quality? No. Just 18 rocky months with – and for – Kenny Dalglish.
Of course, the best evidence that football and not fans should drive the managerial recruitment process comes from a manager who has certainly never attracted a Messianic following such as Bill Shankly or Matt Busby and who has a distinct lack of universal popularity – which can perhaps be traced to the feeling that he has sold out to the American owners, because he has stayed on too long or perhaps because he sold three of his best players in 1995. His side happen to have been one of a fair few with experience of leaving Megson's Bolton with no points gained, but Sir Alex Ferguson got over it. His club don't let setbacks or supporters bother them too much.
Rugby puts football's failures in a better light
The Gloucester flanker Andy Hazell was terribly polite on Twitter yesterday, which made a rather pleasant change to the depressing depths plumbed by Ashley Cole and t***gate. But the way that Hazell managed to land a flurry of punches to his opponent's head followed a knee to the same place, and escape with no apology and not a word of censure from the authorities that night point to the very substantial difference in the way that footballers and rugby footballers are scrutinised.
We obsess about diving in football, when Premier League figures show that cautions for 'simulation' in the last three seasons read as followed: 2009/10 – 22, 2010-11 – 9, 2011-12 – 20. (That's 1.66 per cent of bookings last season). Imagine the penalty, therefore, if a footballer undertook the kind of unadulterated attack carried by Hazell during his side's game against French club Mont-de-Marsan. He could expect to be out for half a season. When I argued on a Radio 5 Live phone-in after the Olympics that the Team GB = good, football = bad was too simplistic a notion, three parents called to say that rugby stadiums, not football, was the environment for their children. Not so. Time for the Rugby Football Union to start applying Football Association standards of discipline.Reuse content

The Path to a New 1914? How America Chose War After 9/11
Posted on Jul 24, 2014
By Jonathan Schell, TomDispatch
This piece by the late American journalist Jonathan Schell, who died in March, first appeared at TomDispatch. Read Tom Engelhardt's introduction here.
Square, Story page, 2nd paragraph, mobile
Then came the attack of September 11th. Like the starting gun of a race that no one knew he was to run, this explosion set the pack of nations off in a single direction—toward the trenches. Although the attack was unaccompanied by any claim of authorship or statement of political goals, the evidence almost immediately pointed to al-Qaeda, the radical Islamist, terrorist network, which, though stateless, was headquartered in Afghanistan and enjoyed the protection of its fundamentalist Islamic government. In a tape that was soon shown around the world, the group's leader, Osama bin Laden, was seen at dinner with his confederates in Afghanistan, rejoicing in the slaughter.
Historically, nations have responded to terrorist threats and attacks with a combination of police action and political negotiation, while military action has played only a minor role. Voices were raised in the United States calling for a global cooperative effort of this kind to combat al-Qaeda. President Bush opted instead for a policy that the United States alone among nations could have conceivably undertaken: global military action not only against al-Qaeda but against any regime in the world that supported international terrorism.
The president announced to Congress that he would "make no distinction between the terrorists who commit these acts and those who harbor them." By calling the campaign a "war," the administration summoned into action the immense, technically revolutionized, post-Cold War American military machine, which had lacked any clear enemy for over a decade. And by identifying the target as generic "terrorism," rather than as al-Qaeda or any other group or list of groups, the administration licensed military operations anywhere in the world.

Next, the administration proclaimed an additional war goal—preventing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. In his State of the Union speech in January 2002, the president announced that "the United States of America will not permit the world's most dangerous regimes to threaten us with the world's most destructive weapons." He went on to name as an "axis of evil" Iraq, Iran, and North Korea—three regimes seeking to build or already possessing weapons of mass destruction. To stop them, he stated, the Cold War policy of deterrence would not be enough—"preemptive" military action would be required, and preemption, the administration soon specified, could include the use of nuclear weapons.
Beginning in the summer of 2002, the government intensified its preparations for a war to overthrow the regime of Saddam Hussein in Iraq, and in the fall, the president demanded and received a resolution from the Security Council of the United Nations requiring Iraq to accept the return of U.N. inspectors to search for weapons of mass destruction or facilities for building them. Lists of other candidates for "regime change" began to surface in the press.
Leaving Cooperative Action Behind
In this way, the war on terror grew to encompass the most important geopolitical issue facing the world: the disposition of nuclear weapons in the second nuclear age. The Clinton administration had already answered the question regarding American possession of nuclear weapons: even in the absence of the Soviet Union, the United States planned to hold on to its nuclear arsenal indefinitely.
In 2002, the Bush administration gave an answer to the question regarding nonproliferation, which throughout the nuclear age had been dealt with exclusively by diplomacy and negotiation, or, on occasion, economic sanctions. The new answer was force. Nuclear disarmament was to be achieved by war and threats of war, starting with Iraq. One complementary element of the new policy, embraced long before September 11th, was the decision to build a national missile defense system to protect the United States against nuclear attack by "rogue nations." But the fundamental element was a policy of preemptive war, or "offensive deterrence."
This momentous shift in nuclear policy called, in addition, for programs to build new nuclear weapons and new delivery vehicles; confirmed new missions for nuclear weapons—retaliation for chemical or biological attacks, attacking hardened bunkers unreachable by other weapons—in the post-Cold War world; and listed seven countries (Russia, China, North Korea, Iraq, Iran, Libya, and Syria) for which contingency plans for nuclear attack should be considered. To achieve all these aims, nuclear and conventional, the president asked for an increase in military spending of $48 billion—a sum greater than the total military spending of any other nation.
The sharp turn toward force as the mainstay of the policies of the United States was accompanied by a turn away from treaties and other forms of cooperation. Even before September 11th, the trend had been clear. Now it accelerated. The Bush administration either refused to ratify or withdrew from most of the principal new international treaties of the post-Cold War era. In the nuclear arena alone, the administration refused to submit to the Senate for ratification the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, which would have added a ban on underground tests to the existing bans on testing in the air; withdrew from the A.B.M. Treaty, which had severely limited Russian and American deployment of antinuclear defensive systems; and jettisoned the START negotiations as the framework for nuclear reductions with Russia—replacing them with the Strategic Offensive Reduction Agreement, a three-page document requiring two-thirds of the strategic weapons of both sides to be removed from their delivery vehicles, but then stored rather than dismantled.
In addition, the Bush administration withdrew from the Kyoto Protocol of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which had become the world's principal forum for making decisions about reducing emissions that cause global warming; refused to ratify the Rome treaty establishing an international criminal court; and declined to agree to an important protocol for inspection and enforcement of a U.N. convention banning biological weapons.
The consequences of this revolution in American policy rippled through the world, where it found ready imitators. On December 12th, the Indian Parliament was attacked by terrorists whom India linked to Pakistan. Promptly, nuclear-armed India, citing the American policy of attacking not only terrorists but any state that harbored them, moved half a million men to the border of nuclear-armed Pakistan, which responded in kind, producing the first full-scale nuclear crisis of the twenty-first century.

The final objective is to cover all human languages and writing systems in
the UCS. But it seems each one needs a trial run in a simpler,
self-contained character set. Perhaps, then, it is not practical to avoid
creating additional single-byte sets. So...
Let's hope that these new 8-bit character sets can be published and shared
so the same work does not need to be needlessly replicated, and to
facilitate a review process that might ensure a better result for the final
UCS versions.
Let's hope that they are not designed around some particular proprietary
architecture and that some consideration has been given to interchange, so
that users of these writing systems have some choice about platforms (this
might mean, for example, following the guidelines of ISO 4873).
And let's hope we can avoid the term "legacy" in this connection. There's
nothing legacy about it. It's groundbreaking work. It's nothing to be
ashamed of.
I suspect that Michael's or SIL's website might be a good place from which
to coordinate this activity, to whatever extent this is not being done

It would be like how he became a bounty hunter
and stuff like that. Is that a good TV show idea?:fettpre:fettesb:fettrotj
Let me think about that ... um, yes!:skull
Who would play Boba Fett though?
Would it be the same person who played him in Episode
II, or would they pick someone else!
Not at all IMO. Boba Fett needs to go back to being the silent badguy with cool looking armor. Not some tragic hero who has a face, life, and feelings.
In the live action TV show I really hope they don't tell a story or two from his point of view. They should feature him from his good guy target's point of view and have him be really BA with all his weapons. Kinda Obi-Wan vs Jango style.
I think Daniel Logan is a jerk...but that was just my expierences with him... So I say no to him playing Boba.
I would watch a Boba show - every week - without fail... however I dont think it would be a good idea per-say. Boba is so cool because he is so mysterious... with all that they have already shown us with EP II plus the books and such they have already taken away a lot of his mystique.
I would love to see a Boba Fett show. But can it ever happen? I think so eventually. Lets keep are hopes up.:thumbsup
No.....the character has been exploited enough with the advent of Jango:facepalm
Not at all, it would just tick me off week after week.
I agree with those that miss the mystery of Fett.
Heck Yes! I'd even volunteer to play Mr Fett:lol
i think it would be amazing if they made one and i don't think they should stop there. It would be wicked cool if Lucas made a Jango Fett movie (Maybe the darkhorse origin story or a bounty placed on everyone's favorite Gungan...hmm...well maybe no gungans, just a bounty with sith.
I don't mind Boba in a show, just not a show focusing completely on him. A show sorta like Shadows of the Empire style would be good for Boba.
I think a Boba Fett T.V show would be awesome. But as with most things it would have to be done right so as not to bastardise the character. My thoughts? Well I think it'd have to be aimed at an adult audience and it would need the darkness of ESB and the helmet would have to stay on, he needs to be this faceless entity that strikes fear into the hearts of his bounties, so the idea of having the stories told from his targets point of view is a good one but the scope his there to hear it from his side too.
I'm suprised Lucas hasn't jumped on this idea already!! :)
I have to agree with those that are relatively *against* the idea (especially Kbrosseau). Although it would be kind of cool to see (I'd be more in it for the "Eye Candy" with the SPFX), I would most likely *regret* it when it is all said and done if it did come to fruition. Bitter sweet. Simply because as those have already said, he's a mysterious character (was anyway), and should remain that way. That's what attracted each and every one of us to him in the first place. Not the "Tragic Hero, with a name, face and feelings".
For the sake of wanting to see *him* and what he's capable of (the *eyecandy* I spoke of) in the live action show, he needs to be the typical recurring *badguy* (with no further backstory) that no one can quite get a hold of ("his good guy target's point of view"). That way, we keep the mystery, but get to see how he got all them cool *dents and scratches* :lol
Now THAT is back story to me :thumbsup
I'd still be for it I think. I see it almost like the comic book movies (whole different can of worms) the backstories may be different than how they were first written in the comics, but they have been rewritten so many times anyways. The Smallville/Superman story would be a good example of this. Certain things about the TV show change the original movies/comics. Smallville is still declaired "official" by DC. There's several different "versions" of Boba's backstory out there in different sources too. No single version needs to be the "right" one per say. something that happened a "long long time ago" could be something of an "oral tradition" story rather than exact facts. Stories change depend on who's telling them.
I'm rambling now...I'll stop
Nope. No show.
I can just see it now........Every show somehow gets into some silly romantic interest thing and that would make me oh so............
Basically........what FP said.
Oh man, I didnt even consider the romantic aspects that they would toss in.... OH THE HORROR!
Oh NO! Romance. Don't even go there :(

Model gain scheduling control of an ethyl tert-butyl ether reactive distillation column
Bisowarno, Budi H., Tian, Yu-Chu, & Tade, Moses O. (2003) Model gain scheduling control of an ethyl tert-butyl ether reactive distillation column. Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Research, 42(15), 3584 -3591.
Administrators only
Reactive distillation (RD) is a favorable alternative to the conventional series of reaction-separation processes. However, the control of RD is challenging because of its complex dynamics resulting from the integrated functionality of reaction and separation. A linear proportional-integral-derivative algorithm with fixed parameters has been shown not to be satisfactory to handle the high directionality of the process gain. It needs to be retuned adequately over a wide range of operating conditions. In this work, model gain scheduling is investigated for an ethyl tert-butyl ether reactive distillation column. It employs a set of simple local models, which cover relevant operating conditions and cope with the nonlinear characteristics of the process. The simple models are then integrated by using a proper switching scheme. Simulation results have shown that the proposed control strategy outperforms the standard proportional-integral control in both set-point tracking and disturbance rejection.

E90 (330XI) 1 Year Maintenance Plan; QUESTIONS!
Hi all, I'm a routine stalker in the forums here, but I have put up a reply or two since registering (though not in a while). I wanted to take some time today out of my (way too busy...ugh) schedule to share a few things that I plan on doing with my car, after having bought it last year, and perhaps get some insight from the fine people here. I did Google most of what I'm about to say, but I'm craving some interaction with you hardcore folk. FFIW, I'm located in New Hampshire, so if there's a shop or something in the NH/MA area, I'd be glad to make the drive, though for things that are DIY, my father (I can't think of anything he doesn't know how to do around cars) and I can handle it.
Alright, so, in the current month, at least by the end of it, I'll be:
- Purchasing New Tires
- New Winshield
- Coolant Flush (More on that later)
- New Brake pads
- Fixing a paint chip or two (why can't people just leave my car alone...)
Anyway, for tires. My car came with Conti SSR's (3 of them), and one random ass tire that I don't really know the brand of. I've been using this setup for the past year, and I desperately need a balance (and alignment) at this point. What I was thinking about doing was swapping out the current tires for some Continental DWS's, non RFT of course. http://www.townfair.com/tftReadReview.aspx here is a link to the tires, and the price seems more than fair. I read a few threads where E90 drivers thought this was an overall great tire for any condition, and the ride was supple and quiet. If anyone would like to chime in with anything else, I'd greatly appreciate it. What I'm looking for is a decent price, and the ride to be quiet and comfortable, or at least as close as possible, while still maintaining the BMW feel! When I purchase tires, what should I need to check for? Do I need new sensors? If so, which ones? Best price? Order online? Do I need to know anything about Alignment and Balancing? Can I let Townfair tire do it for me, they're willing to mount and balance for free if I recall, and I believe alignment is included as well (not sure on that one yet). Would I be best off going to the BMW dealer, or is it unnecessary/much more expensive?
So, the new windshield then. I have a lot of pits from rocks (and a recent one RIGHT in my view) as well as a lot of little fine scratches (starryness) all over the windshield. It's definitely time for a new one. I have Statefarm, so I was planning on calling them up to get a quote done. Anything I should add when I call, such as the Rain Sensing Wiper mechanism as well as what types of glass/moldings/seals to use? Anyone have any experience with this? Greatly appreciate it!!
I've been meaning to do a coolant flush, though I am not sure if I should do it? I have no idea of knowing when the last one was, but I figure it can't hurt. Where's the best place to go ahead and do this? Should I buy the BMW 50/50 mix? How much do I need, etc.
Brake pads. I need new brake pads, not desperately, but I'd like to get some new ones. I was looking at Akebono Ceramics, but again, I'm open to best suggestions. I don't want to break the bank, but I do want quiet(ish) brakes that produce minimal to no dust, and have good bite.
I won't touch too much on the paint chip subject, but I do have a chip to the left of my drivers side door handle, looks like someone opened up their door (I PARK FAR AWAY!) and banged it up nicely. It's only about a dimes width, but it took the paint off definitely. What's the best procedure for taking car of this? I have all the tools necessary to repair it, just need some good instructions on what the best approach would be, as well as which touch-up paint to use (OEM BMW..? Best price..? Where..?).
Again, I apologize about the length of my post, and thanks very much for any help and input, I really appreciate this community and am glad to be a part of it.

Indruk or Yarn From Old Newspapers
By Greetje van Tiem, a graduate from Design Academy Eindhoven. >>> She says that it is possible to transpose yesterday's news into tangible memories. As part of a school assignment, van Tiem completed a project that turns newspapers into yarn that can be spun tighter and woven into something like a mat to be nearly as durable and functional. Twenty yards of yarn can be made from each sheet of newspaper.

This blog for years has been urging the president to engage in honest discussions with the American people and cease hiding in the White House with his family and Chicago Mafia of "experts." On Thursday, he admitted to "fumbling" the introduction of the Affordable Care Act and agreed that people could maintain their existing health insurance plans and not be forced into enrolling in the new plan. This will head off the cancellation of health plans for about 3.6 million Americans who existing health insurance is sub par. The amnesty will last for one year. Insurers will be allowed to extend plans that do not comply with the Affordable Care Plan. In other words, if one has a sub par plan the individual can continue with the plan. What a wonderful solution!
The Obama solution is simply another symptom of a man who simply is not a leader. He lacks any ability to engage with the American people. As of this day I have never received from the US government a clear explanation of the Affordable Care Act. I do receive informaton from Medicare, but for some reason the president has never gotten around to explaining the new law. Many years ago, we had presidents like Franklin Roosevelt who would talk with the American people and discuss issues of the day in clear language that even a child like me could understand. John F. Kennedy was a master of challenging the American people to be greater than they are.
Mr. President, we in New York City once had a mayor named Fiorello LaGuardia who each Sunday morning would talk with citizens. On more than one occasion, he would say: "Folks, when I make a mistake, it's a beaut! I did it again!." We loved him for his honesty. You never studied American political history and that has been your problem.

Churchill Downs has filed a Kentucky court action against Midnight Cry Stable's co-owners, saying it wants a court to decide who should get purse money earned by their runners.
The complaint for interpleader was filed Dec. 12 in Boone County Circuit Court, and seeks to decide whether $32,744 in earnings from three horses owned by the racing entity of Shirley Cunningham Jr. and William Gallion should go to the stable, or to more than 400 former clients who claim they are due some of the horse owner's winnings.
The purse money doesn't involve leading Horse of the Year candidate Curlin, who is owned 20% by Midnight Cry Stables.
In the complaint, Churchill Downs said it filed the action because it doesn't want to pay the incorrect party and then be involved in possible future litigation. The complaint also names as defendants the former clients, who have won a class-action judgment against the attorneys for their handling of settlement funds in the prominent fen-phen lawsuit.
Tandy LLC, the Kentucky limited liability company that is the parent company of Gallion and Cunningham's racing entity, Midnight Cry Stable, was also named in the lawsuit.
"Churchill has in its custody and possession the funds at issue; is now and at all times has been ready and willing to pay such funds to the party legally entitled to them, and is a mere stakeholder that claims no beneficial interest in the funds," the complaint said.
CDI received a notice of garnishment from an attorney representing the fen-phen plaintiffs, who earlier won a $42.5-million judgment against Cunningham, Gallion, and fellow attorney Melbourne Mills Jr. The three lawyers are accused of skimming $64 million that should have gone to their clients in the $200-million settlement of the diet drug case.
In early November, Boone County Chief Senior Judge William Wehr, who has since recused himself from the fen-phen settlement litigation, signed a charging order that assigned future distributions of earnings and assets from Midnight Cry's horses to the fen-phen plaintiffs. The three attorneys are also involved in a separate federal criminal case.
On the flip-side, Andre F. Regard, an attorney representing Tandy, has told CDI it faces potential legal action if the racetrack company doesn't release $70,000 in purse winnings at Churchill Downs and The Fair Grounds.
"The inexplicable failure of Churchill Downs will result (in) immediate and serious harm to Tandy LLC for which Churchill Downs may be found liable for damages if the funds are not released today," Regard wrote in a letter dated Dec. 3.
The $32,744 in Churchill Downs' purse money is for earnings generated by the Midnight Cry-owned horses Stormin Baghdad, Golden Thief, and Gatorize. Stormin Baghdad and Golden Thief each won races in their only start at the recent Churchill Downs fall meet, while Gatorize, who is owned in a partnership, finished third in one start.
Midnight Cry has a 20% ownership interest in Curlin, who this year won the Breeders' Cup Classic – Powered by Dodge (gr. I), Preakness Stakes (gr. I), Jockey Club Gold Cup (gr. I), Arkansas Derby (gr. II), and Rebel Stakes (gr. III).
The other 80% ownership interest in Curlin is controlled by Jess Jackson's Stonestreet Stable and George Bolton, partners who in early November announced a buy out of a fourth member of the partnership, Padua Stable.
Separately, The Cincinnati Post has reported that a previous Wehr ruling orders future Midnight Cry earnings resulting from Curlin's racing or stud career to be placed in escrow via a court-appointed receiver. The receiver, Matthew Garretson of Cincinnati, will place into escrow any funds Midnight Cry receives from future winnings or stallion fees Curlin realizes, or from the potential sale of the horse.
Wehr has since stepped down from the case and has been replaced by Senior Judge Roger Crittenden of Frankfort.

suspension questions
i always see talk about 3 link suspension and stuff of that nature..... but what exactly is a 3-link suspension? is there a 4 link? i guess i really just want a suspension system break down. starting with coil springs, then coil overs, and on up from there. (i understand leaf springs SUA and SOA). thanks in advanced. i'm sure i'm not the only newb who wonders this stuff so some1 try and write up a real nice article or somethin and maybe it'll get put on as a sticky
Well for the most part you need to factor in the trac bar on any coil sprung/coil overed suspension (at least in the front). The only way to really get rid of the trac bar is to triangulate the front end and go to full hydro steering (like Mr. Clifford has).
When someone is talking about a front 3 link (like RockKrawler) they are talking about 3 front control arms. 2 lowers and 1 upper. Technically when you consider the trac bar it's a 4 link or at the least a 3 link with trac bar. Now a stock TJ has a 5 link or 4 link with trac bar with 2 uppers and 2 lowers.
Rear suspensions are a tad easier because you don't have all of the steering issues that you do up front. The stock rear suspension is also a 5 link or 4 link with trac bar. Most suspension companies make a long arm kit or upgrade that triangulates the rear suspension allowing you to remove the rear trac bar since the triangulation of the upper control arms will keep the axle centered under the vehicle. However even with a triangulated rear you are still utlizing 4 control arms 2 upper triangulated mounted to 1 point (Cradle) and 2 lowers. Some refer to this as a triangulated 3 link.
RBD, You are familiar with leaf springs and how they work so I will explain this from that point.
With leaf springs as they are attached to the frame at two points and the axle at one. Locate the axle without anything else required.
With a coil or coilover set up they can not locate the axle so you need upper and lower control arms to locate the axle as it moves up and down add in a track bar/panhard bar to locate the axle left to right and you have a working suspension.
You can angle the control arms using trianglulation and it will also control the left to right movement. The rear is easyier then the front, it gets harder due to the engine and exhaust getting in the way.
One big gain on the linked set up is no more axle wrap!
I hope this helps some there is a lot of info available on the internet on all of this and I spent about 3 months searching before I built my rear 4 link.

Canaan Dog Temperament
What's Good About 'Em,
What's Bad About 'Em
Canaan Dog Temperament, Personality, Behavior, Traits, and Characteristics, by Michele Welton. Copyright © 2000-2016
The AKC Standard says, "The Canaan Dog moves with athletic agility and grace, with a quick, brisk, ground-covering trot."
The Canaan Dog is light-footed and can turn on a dime. He will take as much exercise as you can offer, yet adults are calm enough to curl up on the sofa when the day's work or fun is over.
This independent dog is self-reliant and doesn't need constant petting.
However, he is also highly intelligent and an excellent problem-solver and needs plenty of mental stimulation (obedience, agility, tracking, herding, playing games) to prevent boredom, which can lead to destructiveness.
His wariness of strangers, inherent distrust of anything new or different, territorial instincts, keen senses and canny intuition all combine to make him a vigilant watchdog.
This primitive breed is 100 percent aware of his surroundings, constantly observing and listening. He will sound the alarm at every perceived threat.
However, he is not aggressive toward people. Rather, the Canaan Dog reacts to a stranger's intrusion into his territory DEFENSIVELY -- by retreating just out of reach and barking continuously. Because caution can easily shade into fearfulness, early and extensive socialization is required to build a confident, stable temperament.
Dog to dog aggression, however, can be a problem, and many of these dogs do have a strong prey drive and may stalk or chase smaller animals.
Canaan Dogs resist repetitious training and jerking on the leash. Motivate them with variation, praise, and food. Yet they may also test you for pack leadership, so they require a confident, consistent owner.
Canaan Dogs love to dig and are very vocal -- barking and whining need to be controlled.
If you want a dog who...
- Is medium-sized and completely natural-looking
- Has a short easy-care coat that comes in a variety of colors
- Moves with light-footed agility
- Loves lots of exercise and athletic activities
- Makes an extremely alert watchdog, yet is not aggressive
A Canaan Dog may be right for you.
If you don't want to deal with...
- Vigorous exercise requirements
- Destructiveness when bored or not exercised enough
- Inherent distrust of strangers and anything new or different
- Extreme fearfulness in some lines, or when not extensively socialized
- Aggression toward other animals -- chasing instincts
- Stubbornness (a mind of his own)
- Potential for excessive barking
- Waiting lists (hard to find)
A Canaan Dog may not be right for you.
- choosing the RIGHT breeder and the RIGHT puppy
- or choosing an ADULT dog from your animal shelter or rescue group – a dog who has already proven that he doesn't have negative traits
- training your dog to respect you
- avoiding health problems by following my daily care program in 11 Things You Must Do Right To Keep Your Dog Healthy and Happy
More traits and characteristics of the Canaan Dog
If I was considering a Canaan Dog, I would be most concerned about...
- Providing enough exercise and mental stimulation. Canaan Dogs MUST have regular opportunities to vent their energy and to use their busy minds to do interesting things. Otherwise they will become rambunctious and bored -- which they usually express by barking and destructive chewing. Bored Canaan Dogs can make a shambles of your house and yard.
- Fearfulness. Canaan Dogs began as "pariah dogs," i.e. feral or half-wild. Their defensive instincts often do not fit well into the average household. Canaan Dogs need extensive exposure to people and to unusual sights and sounds. Otherwise their natural caution is likely to become full-blown suspiciousness or fearfulness, which are difficult to live with and could even lead to defensive biting.
- Potential for animal aggression. Many Canaan Dogs are dominant or aggressive toward other dogs of the same sex. Many have strong instincts to chase and seize cats and other fleeing creatures. If anything goes wrong in the breeding, socializing, training, handling, or management of this breed, it is capable of seriously injuring or killing other animals.
- Mind of their own. Canaan Dogs are versatile working dogs, capable of learning a great deal and excelling at the highest levels of competition, but they can also be stubborn and manipulative. You must show them, through absolute consistency, that you mean what you say. But Canaan Dogs are also so sensitive that if you correct them too harshly, they may "shut down" and become even more resistant. It often takes an experienced trainer to bring out the inherent genius in this breed.
To teach your Canaan Dog to listen to you, "Respect Training" is mandatory. My Canaan Dog Training Page discusses the program you need.
- Barking. Canaan Dogs are typically quick to sound the alarm at every new sight and sound. You have to be equally quick to stop them. If you work all day and have close neighbors, Canaan Dogs are not a good choice for you. For the same reason, Canaan Dogs should NEVER be left outside in your yard, unsupervised.
- Shedding on the high side of average. Be prepared for daily brushing during twice a year shedding seasons, and some moderate shedding the rest of the year.
- Finding one. In the United States, fewer than 100 new Canaan Dog puppies are registered each year. (Compare that to over 60,000 new Golden Retriever puppies!)
To learn more about training Canaan Dogs to be calm and well-behaved, consider my dog training book, Teach Your Dog 100 English Words.
It's a unique Vocabulary and Respect Training Program that will make your Canaan Dog the smartest, most well-behaved companion you've ever had.
Teaches your dog to listen to you, to pay attention to you, and to do whatever you ask him to do.
My dog buying guide, Dog Quest: Find The Dog Of Your Dreams, will teach you everything you need to know about finding a healthy Canaan Dog. Health problems have become so widespread in dogs today that this book is required reading for ANYONE who is thinking of getting a purebred, crossbred, or mixed breed dog.
If you'd like to consult with me personally about whether the Canaan Dog might be a good dog breed for your family, I offer a Dog Breed Consulting Service.
Once you have your Canaan Dog home, you need to KEEP him healthy -- or if he's having any current health problems, you need to get him back on the road to good health.
My dog health care book, 11 Things You Must Do Right To Keep Your Dog Healthy and Happy is the book you need.
Raise your dog the right way and you will be helping him live a longer, healthier life while avoiding health problems and unnecessary veterinary expenses.
Please consider adopting an ADULT Canaan Dog...
When you're acquiring a Canaan Dog PUPPY, you're acquiring potential -- what he one day will be. So "typical breed characteristics" are very important.
But when you acquire an adult dog, you're acquiring what he already IS and you can decide whether he is the right dog for you based on that reality. There are plenty of adult Canaan Dogs who have already proven themselves NOT to have negative characteristics that are "typical" for their breed. If you find such an adult dog, don't let "typical breed negatives" worry you. Just be happy that you found an atypical individual -- and enjoy!

The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod
The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod began work in Tanzania in 2002 as part of a larger East Africa strategy for training leaders among several people groups in East African countries. Because East Africa has been the target of many years of mission work by various evangelical groups, the LCMS has provided complementary strategy, resources and personnel to support the work of existing mission partners from other Lutheran groups.
Leaders have shared that there are more people coming forward for Baptism than the current number of pastors can handle. Also, because the growth of the East African church has been explosive in recent years, a great need exists to train indigenous leaders who can minister to the large numbers of people who have been recently baptized and to visit many other new villages that have asked for the Gospel.
Therefore, the main thrust of LCMS work has been to help build regional mission training centers (MTCs) throughout East Africa where national leaders can be mentored and trained in evangelism and church planting. Training seminars for women in these facilities is also a priority. Students come for classes from outlying villages for two days a month over a two-year period to be taught by a pastor. At the end of this time, most graduate as evangelists. Each evangelist is provided a bicycle and is expected to go into an unreached area and begin a new congregation. Some continue their training and, depending upon the training, are ordained as deacons or certificate pastors. There are 10 of these MTCs set up around the diocese with an average of 10 students per center.
The LCMS works in mutual mission through projects with the East of Lake Victoria Diocese (ELVD) of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania (ELCT). The ELVD is one of 20 dioceses of the ELCT, a Lutheran church body of more than three million members, and is led by Bishop Gulle. LCMS missionaries have also had conversations with an independent Lutheran church in Tanzania to work together in mission opportunities. This group consists of 10,000 members, 20 pastors and a seminary with 13 students. Thus far, it has grown without the involvement of any foreign missionaries.
Starting in 2002, the LCMS has provided grants for mercy projects in Tanzania. These projects have including digging wells, especially new mission training centers, and providing roofs for church buildings. Also, the Lutheran Church in East Africa is an emerging Lutheran church body with approximately 10,000 members and 20 pastors.
The Mid-South District of the LCMS has been a key partner in Tanzania as it has supported leadership training efforts in partnership with the LCMS.

This post is a continuation of an edited transcript of my sermon on the gifts of the Spirit.There are many dangers of prophecy. One example of this is foolish prophecy, which is really nothing more than wishful thinking. It might surprise you to hear me say this, but sometimes it can be a bad idea for a small group of friends to gather and try to hear God for each other. Unfortunately, what often happens is what you wish God would say to that person is then what you think you hear God saying … [Read more...]
The Gift of Prophecy — Dangers to Avoid
THE GIFT OF PROPHECY – What It Is NOT
Today, I continue my edited transcript of a sermon on the gifts of the Holy Spirit. There are three key things that prophecy is not. You see examples of all of these in Acts 21, which makes that a crucial chapter for understanding New Testament prophecy.Prophecy is NOT infallibleIn 1 Corinthians 13, Paul says, "We know in part and we prophesy in part." So by definition, prophecy is not without error. If you study Agabus' prophecy in Acts 21, you'll see that the general gist of his prophecy is co … [Read more...]
What is prophecy?
For the remainder of the sermon I preached on spiritual gifts, I focused on this gift of prophecy. We will be several days in sharing an edited version of a transcript of this section.How do I define prophecy?I believe that prophecy is an impression that God may have something to say specifically to specific people at a specific time. It can be a word for an individual. It can be a word to a group of people, for a church, maybe even for a whole country. But it's a word from God that's fo … [Read more...]

BMW 325i 2001
Well recently i bought a BMW 325i 2001 for my b day which is today. Sometimes when i drive in the morning's or random parts of the days, this thing in the left head side pops up. And the hot and cold is always in the middle, is this normal? First time owning a bmw and im not sure what it is, If anyone knows it would help a lot. thanks!
All help is appreciated, Thanks
That is your coolant level sensor, it means youre low on coolant. Did you obtain any maintenance history when you bought your car? These cars are notorious for their weak cooling systems, with many parts that have a tendancy to fail over time. Add some coolant and if the light comes back then you may have a leak or worse...:eeps:
Well the thing is my dad checked it, and that was full, and more bad news, i drove it again and it got almost in the Red hot when i jumped on it and went fast, then i found out more that the heat doesnt work, and the feet heat only works. Not hot at all. But im still confused on how that thing keeps popping up and its full?
That should get any air out of the system and fix your problem. Very easy to do and it should only take about 30 minutes. If this doesn't fix it, my next guess would be a coolant sensor, which still isn't a big deal. One thing you might also try is to hook up an OBDII scanner and let it read you coolant temp - depending on how hot your coolant is getting, you might also need a flush.
Happy Birthday GreekGod1.
Lots of engines have been killed with this warning. Get it checked before it's too late.
for the car heating part, u have one of the below symptoms:
1- leak somewhere in the cooling system
2- fan not turning on when it should
3- thermostat went bad
4- water-pump not pumping anymore (unlikely)
have your entire cooling system overhauled as it's most probably due to one.
Greekgod1: Just do what I said earlier. It's cheap, fast, and easy. There's no point in jumping to ridiculous conclusions this early.
Thanks for everyone's help, but i found out like a fan blade is broke, so i guess that was the problem? Spending around 400 dollars for some new stuff, and one question, Is the heat only suppose to come out on your feet, or feet and blow onto you? thanks
Heat should be able to come to feet and/or windshield and/or on to you.
Read the wiki before you ask another question.
That way if you cannot answer your own questions, you'll be able to understand our answers better.
Up at the top of this page.
Thanks everyone, got everything fixed hopefully, Does anyone know how to change the time?

August 2, 2009 By Bill Schrier
A long time ago in a city far far away I was a street cop. A police officer working the beat. It wasn't a large city - Dubuque, Iowa - 65,000 people and probably 60 or 70 policemen. Yes "policeMEN". The first women were hired into the Dubuque PD while I was there, and I - at 5' 9" and 170 pounds - was one of the smallest cops on the force.
In those days, technology was not really part of an officer's life. Times have changed, they REALLY have changed. The Seattle Police Department has just implemented a new Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system which is fundamentally altering policing at the City of Seattle - the "SPIDER" project. Technology is now - literally - at the right and left hand of virtually every cop - and firefighter and emergency medical tech.
When I was on the street, my primary technology was the radio in my police cruiser. The voice radio was (and still is) the lifeline for public safety officers on the street. But, in the 1970s, when I walked out of the car, I also walked away from that lifeline. We didn't have handheld or portable radios, nor did cell phones exist. If there was a problem when we were away from the car, we depended upon each other to "drive by" and check on us (and cops still do that), or on a citizen to use a land-line telephone to notify dispatch. That was scary.
Now police officers carry a handheld radio, and a lapel mike, and every Seattle radio has an emergency button which, when pressed, alerts dispatch center that the officer is in trouble. The emergency alert triggers a display of badge number on the dispatch console. The radios can communicate with officers throughout the region. And automatic vehicle location (AVL) shows the location of every police and fire apparatus in the City. All of this tech doesn't mean policing is easier or safer than it was in the 1970s - on the contrary, there are new issues and dangers, which I'll mention a little later.
We did reports by hand, on paper. We filled out index cards for car stops. And every call to police/fire emergency was logged on a card with a timestamp. When we wanted to get information about a license plate or driver's license, the dispatcher looked up the info in a set of file cards or - this was really high tech in the 1970s - typed the request into a teletype machine for someone in some far city (like Des Moines) to look up on their index cards.

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Thoughts on the Arizona Cardinals' 24-21 overtime win against the Miami Dolphins at University of Phoenix Stadium:
What it means: The Cardinals improved to 4-0 for the first time since 1974 with one of the more remarkable victories in a long line of them at University of Phoenix Stadium. Jay Feely's overtime field goal gave the Cardinals only their fifth victory in 81 chances since 1988 when trailing by 13-plus points at halftime. This victory kept the Cardinals alone atop the NFC West.
What I liked: Kevin Kolb overcame eight sacks and a crushing fourth-quarter interception to throw the tying touchdown pass with 22 seconds remaining in regulation. This had the feeling of a defining performance for Kolb, who now has two fourth-quarter drives to the tying or winning touchdown this season.
Arizona continued to produce outstanding results with its blitzes from inside linebackers Daryl Washington and Paris Lenon. Washington forced a critical turnover in the final three minutes of regulation. Lenon forced an interception with pressure in overtime.
The Cardinals battled back from a 13-0 halftime deficit to make the game competitive in the third quarter. Kolb's 24-yard throw to Andre Roberts against a Dolphins blitz required quick thinking. That play sustained Arizona's drive, and Kolb finished that drive with a scoring pass to Larry Fitzgerald.
Strong safety Adrian Wilson made big plays in his return from injury. A third-and-long sack in the second half helped keep Arizona in the game. Wilson ran over Dolphins running back Daniel Thomas before taking down quarterback Ryan Tannehill. Wilson also made a diving attempt to pick off a pass. He snatched the back half of the ball. Officials ruled the play a pick, but replays convinced them to reverse the ruling.
Cornerback Greg Toler picked off Tannehill, atoning for what seemed like a debatable interference call against Toler.
The Cardinals made an effective adjustment to quickly take a 14-13 lead in the fourth quarter. They shifted to heavier personnel, ran the ball on first down, then connected on deep play-action passes for Rob Housler (33 yards) and Roberts (46-yard touchdown). Those plays showed what Kolb can do at his best.
Cornerback Patrick Peterson's 61-yard fumble return gave Arizona possession at the Miami 3-yard line while holding a 14-13 lead midway through the fourth quarter. That play seemed to put the Cardinals in prime position to put away the Dolphins, if not for a turnover on Arizona's ensuing possession.
What I didn't like: Cornerback William Gay struggled against Dolphins receiver Davone Bess and others lining up against him, including Brian Hartline. The Cardinals' previous opponents didn't seem to target Gay as frequently. The Dolphins went after him from the beginning and forced the Cardinals to shuffle their personnel. This was the first time Arizona really missed cornerback Richard Marshall, who signed with Miami during the offseason and was on the field for the Dolphins in this game.
Peterson made uncharacteristic blunders as a return specialist. He risked a turnover early by failing to call for a fair catch when there was no room for a return. He muffed other punts. Peterson even fair-caught a ball at the Arizona 3-yard line, an inexplicable lapse. Peterson returned four punts for touchdowns last season. He made little impact as a returner in the first three games and was a negative factor in this one. Perhaps he's trying to do too much.
The running game continued to falter. The Cardinals went to a no-huddle offense for stretches. Ryan Williams wasn't part of that package, further reducing the running threat. Miami entered this game leading the NFL in yards per carry allowed. Arizona was without running back Beanie Wells and tight end Todd Heap. Arizona was one-dimensional on offense.
Rookie right tackle Bobby Massie surrendered three first-half sacks working against Dolphins defensive end Cameron Wake. Miami lists Wake at right defensive end, but he has played primarily on the left side this season. That was the case Sunday. Arizona had to help Massie in protection after Wake's fast start. Wake collected a fourth sack against Massie in the fourth quarter when the Cardinals did not help the rookie.
Kolb had been a little careless in the red zone and it finally caught up with him in stunning fashion. The fourth-quarter pick he threw from the 3-yard line proved devastating. Instead of building on a 14-13 lead, the Cardinals watched Tannehill connect with Hartline for an 80-yard touchdown on the next play. A two-point conversion staked Miami to a 21-14 lead, a crushing swing.
Stunning stats: Hartline caught 11 passes for 245 yards and a touchdown. Bess caught seven passes for 123 yards. Tannehill topped 400 yards passing. All this against an Arizona defense that had contained Tom Brady and Michael Vick, while holding all three previous opponents to fewer than 20 points.
Head-scratching decision: The Dolphins' decision to pass the ball while protecting a 21-14 lead in the final three minutes proved costly. Washington sacked Tannehill and forced a fumble. Teammate Vonnie Holliday recovered. Washington has emerged as one of the best defensive players around. Joe Philbin also chose to ice the kicker with a timeout before Feely's winning field goal try, despite some evidence the tactic isn't always effective.
What's next: The Cardinals visit the St. Louis Rams on Thursday night.

Listen Listening... / 0:48 School Board Meets Over Niskayuna Principal's Moonlighting As Sports Agent By Dave Lucas • Nov 14, 2014 Composite Image by Dave Lucas (WAMC) A special board meeting was held last night over the Niskayuna High School principal's second job as a high-profile sports agent. The story has local residents wondering how he can do both. Like many Americans, Principal John Rickert has held two jobs for many years, although his are slightly more unusual than most: one as an academic leader, the other as a professional sports agent. Locals say the Niskayuna School District was aware of this and school board members would never address it, citing rules of privacy.

It's ironic because I just posted a thread under general discussions if curlies ever considering using cones. I don't use cones or sulfates and I think my hair is better off. However, after reading and writing to some of the curlies in my other thread, some don't mind using a mild cone. It all depends on your hair. Some curlies might be ok using cones and their hair doesn't react negatively. However, I know that if I used cones my hair would divert back to it's dry old ways. It all depends on how your hair responds. EXPERIEMENT! That was what I did and still do! Now it's actually fun since I know my hair lol
Also, I am sure a lot of girls can agree to this, one of the things that stops me from going back to cones is it took me so so damn long just to get that crap out of my hair, I don't want to have wasted all that past time and energy going back! LOL

2006 Odyssey EX
40,000 miles
Yesterday on our odyssey the VSA, ABS, & brake light lit up on the dash all at once. Just got back from the dealer after having it diagnosed. According to the dealer its a faulty VSA control unit ($1203). According to the Tech i spoke with he stated that he had never seen this problem on an Odyssey. Said that he saw the problem a few years ago on a high mileage accord, but never on an odyssey. Anyone here on the forums experience this problem? Ive used the search function but did not find anything specific to this part.
Last thing we need right now is a $1200 bill for repair. Any idea what could have caused this part to fail? dealer has no idea what could have caused this.
And heres the best part, according to the dealer this $1200 part may not even fix the problem
