End-stage kidney diseaseRenal failure - end stage; Kidney failure - end stage; ESRD
End-stage kidney disease is the complete or almost complete failure of the kidneys to work. The kidneys remove waste and excess water from the body.
End-stage kidney disease (ESRD) is when the kidneys are no longer able to work at a level needed for day-to-day life.
The most common causes of ESRD in the U.S. are diabetes and high blood pressure. These conditions can affect your kidneys.
ESRD almost always comes after chronic kidney disease. The kidneys may slowly stop working over 10 - 20 years before end-stage disease results.
Symptoms may include:
- General ill feeling and fatigue
- Itching (pruritus) and dry skin
- Headaches
- Weight loss without trying
- Loss of appetite
- Nausea
Other symptoms may include:
- Abnormally dark or light skin
- Nail changes
- Bone pain
- Drowsiness and confusion
- Problems concentrating or thinking
- Numbness in the hands, feet, or other areas
- Muscle twitching or cramps
- Breath odor
- Easy bruising, nosebleeds, or blood in the stool
- Excessive thirst
- Frequent hiccups
- Low level of sexual interest and impotence
- Menstrual periods stop (amenorrhea)
- Sleep problems, such as insomnia, restless leg syndrome, or obstructive sleep apnea
- Swelling of the feet and hands (edema)
- Vomiting, especially in the morning
Exams and Tests
Your health care provider will perform a physical exam and order blood tests. Most people with this condition have high blood pressure.
Patients with end-stage kidney disease will make much less urine, or urine production may stop.
End-stage kidney disease changes the results of many tests. Patients receiving dialysis will need these and other tests done often:
This disease may also change the results of the following tests:
Dialysis or kidney transplantation is the only treatment for this condition.
For more information on these treatments, see:
Your doctor may also put you on medicine to control your blood pressure.
You may need to make changes in your diet.
- Eat a low-protein diet
- Get enough calories if you are losing weight
- Limit fluids
- Limit salt, potassium, phosphorous, and other electrolytes
For more information, see: Diet and chronic kidney disease
Other treatment depends on your symptoms but may include:
- Extra calcium and vitamin D (always talk to your doctor before taking)
- Medicines called phosphate binders, to help prevent phosphorous levels from becoming too high
- Treatment for anemia, such as extra iron in the diet, iron pills or shots, shots of a medicine called erythropoietin, and blood transfusions.
You should be up-to-date on important vaccinations, including:
- H1N1 (swine flu) vaccine
- Hepatitis A vaccine
- Hepatitis B vaccine
- Influenza vaccine
- Pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV)
Support Groups
See: Kidney disease support group
Outlook (Prognosis)
End-stage kidney disease leads to death if you do not have dialysis or a kidney transplant. However, both of these treatments can have risks. The outcome is different for each person.
Possible Complications
- Anemia
- Bleeding from the stomach or intestines
- Bone, joint, and muscle pain
- Brain dysfunction, confusion, and dementia
- Changes in electrolyte levels
- Changes in blood sugar (glucose)
- Damage to nerves of the legs and arms
- Fluid buildup around the lungs
- Heart and blood vessel complications
- Hepatitis B, hepatitis C, liver failure
- Hyperparathyroidism
- Increased risk of infections
- Malnutrition
- Phosphorous levels become too high
- Potassium levels become too high
- Seizures
- Skin dryness, itching/scratching, leading to skin infection
- Weakening of the bones, fractures, joint disorders
Treatment of chronic kidney disease may delay or prevent progression to ESRD. Some cases may not be preventable.

You know, I was an Internet Explorer browser (pun intended) for a long, long time. I was loyal and faithful and all those gushy adjectives until Internet Explorer 7 started giving me the cold shoulder by freezing me out nearly every time I jumped on the internet, at which time I switched to Firefox and have had a great time browsing ever since. (By the way, I have had no cold shoulders with Firefox).
But now Internet Explorer 9 has reared its not-so-ugly head ('fast is now beautiful" is its current claim) and this time I went to check it out (awesome hype notwithstanding). It has a lot of nice features (competition with Chrome and Firefox has definitely influenced somebody), but it has one feature in particular that I thought was worth writing about.
Internet Explorer 9 now has one tab dedicated to ten of your most popular sites (see screenshot above). I thought that was pretty cool, but since I visit a lot of sites a lot of different times in one sitting, I thought it would be nice if I could have, say, fifteen of my most accessed sites. Or twenty. Well, apparently someone out there thought it would be nice, too. Here's how you do it.
In Internet Explorer 9, there are two ways to view tabs. One is to the right of the address bar (in the same row) and the other is below the address bar (making two rows).
To view the tabs in the same row as the address bar:
Go up to where your tabs are, and right-click in an empty area to the right of the last one. In the menu that pops up you will see Show tabs on a separate row. Make sure that it is not check marked. You should now see your tabs to the right of the address bar.
To view the tabs in another row:
Go up to where your tabs are, and right-click in an empty area to the right of the last one. In the menu that pops up, go down the list until you see Show tabs on a separate row. Put a check to the left of that. Now you should see that your tabs are in a different row than the address bar.
Okay, so now you know how to view the tabs. Which one is the Your most popular sites tab?
To view The Most Popular Sites tab:
The Your most popular sites tab is easy to find: It will always be the empty tab to the right of whatever tab is open. Note: Sometimes the end tab will say New Tab, but sometimes it will be blank. Either way, that tab is where you can access your most popular sites.
Another way to get to the tab is to type about:Tabs into the address bar and hit Enter.
Now for the good part.
Important note: This involves a little editing in the registry. Before we start, please backup your registry [1] so that if something accidentally goes a way you didn't want it to, you can just restore your original registry settings. If you're unsure about tinkering around in the registry, the following tip, Navigating the Registry [2] , should help.
So let's go! The easiest way is to get into the registry is to left-click on your Start button and then type regedit into the Search bar above your Start button and hit Enter. The very top entry will be regedit.exe. Left-click on it to open the Registry Editor (or registry; they are both the same thing).
Now we need to navigate the registry to this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TabbedBrowsing\NewTabPage
Now we have reached NewTabPage, which was our final destination. Right-click on NewTabPage and hover your cursor over New to highlight it. This will bring up a new menu. Left-click on D-WORD(32-bit) Value.
After you left-click on DWORD (32-bit) Value, you will get this:
In the box where it says New Value #1, type NumRows and hit Enter. After you hit Enter, right-click on NumRows and a menu will pop up. Left-click on Modify…
In the next box that pops up, there will be a blank box underneath where it says Value data. Type the number of rows you want on Your Popular Sites Page. The page leaves 5 columns of sites. Since I typed a 4 in the Value data box, I will have 4 rows of 5 sites. Twenty sites! Just like I wanted.
After you've entered your number in the box, left-click on OK and exit the registry. You do this the same way you exit websites; click on the X in the upper right-hand corner.
If you had Internet Explorer open, close and reopen it. If you had it closed, open it.
Here's what I got when I opened it:
I got four rows of five sites, a total of twenty sites, just like I wanted!
And if you followed the tutorial, you will see the number of sites that you wanted to have, too! I think it'll be good to have more sites that you don't have to go looking for. I hope you will, too!

Get Ur One Linerz Up!
Get Ur One Linerz Up!
Toy forum... how many "toys" can effectively pull off a decent one liner?
This should probably be closed.
or maybe we could use it as a section to tell dudes to stop doing one liners, if they arent doing them right.
if your "one line" has lines crossing all through the middle of your letters, your better off not doing it in one line.
my 2 cents
graffiti is pretty cool.
here some flicks for this thread
Whys someone always gotta hate instantly and say "close". This thread got approved 'cause it was posted in the thread for approval and enough people wanted it. Lime's one liner was lookin' nice. I been tryin' them but not sure the best methods for accomplishing it with my style of bubble letters.
Thats pretty cool option, how long it take you to learn 1-liners good? I just started tryin' the other night.
"If you're gonna shut up, graffiti and write!"
tag one liners =]
my 1st oneliner
Damn NOE that actually is pretty on point man. Maybe because it's only 3 letters makes it easier. When you get into 4-5 letters they kinda look messy. Nice job MEKO(NOE). Just one mans opinion though.
NOE, you spelled the Science in bombing science wrong
but otherwise good shit
617hit me up
lmao oh shit i did....oppz i was fuckin tired lasted night when i did that shit... hahah oh well shit happenz
Well ok, the flicks so far are good. Nice work guys, props. I cant do a one liner for shit but then again i use 6 letters and its tricky.
what u write i wanna try and make one ha
graffiti is pretty cool.
phazer or herbn either one, phazer is the one i was refering to though. have at it
yo woe i got you... you write?ASIC? right?
ima try phazer too seemz tricky
oh my bad i thought you wrote asic cuz i thought you posted some asic shit..... but i remeber now thatz wallace's shit...

lorcan o'herlihy architects, culver city, calif.
With this West Hollywood, Calif., multifamily project, Lorcan O'Herlihy, FAIA, turns the concept of courtyard housing on its head—or, rather, on its side. He and developer Richard Loring opted to pull the building's outdoor space to one side of the lot, rather than leaving it in the middle as conventional courtyard projects do. They then worked out a deal with the city to turn this slice of land into a public park, accessible by both the residents and the larger community. "It's a public pocket park on private land," O'Herlihy says.
The stacked, two-story units all overlook the 4,600-square-foot park, and each one benefits from generous cross-ventilation. The structure's corrugated, perforated metal skin mediates the dynamic, layered façade; according to O'Herlihy, its bright red color was inspired by the exterior hue of an iconic restaurant down the block. One judge expressed a desire to live in the 11-unit building himself. "It's young, hip, and fun," said another juror. "It's more than the sum of its parts."
O'Herlihy hopes his unorthodox public-private space strategy will be adopted on a larger scale. "There's no reason this couldn't continue," he says. "It could be like a genetic code for offering public spaces. There could be a network of parks across L.A."

LONG BEACH - When the California Department of Education released results from state standardized tests last month, dozens of Long Beach schools celebrated significant gains.
But as the Long Beach Unified School District showed overall improvement, scores plummeted in many of Long Beach's traditionally top-performing elementary schools.
Of the district's 58 elementary and K-8 schools, nearly two dozen saw double-digit declines on the state's 2012 Academic Performance Index, leaving district officials concerned that budget cuts may be having a greater-than- expected impact in the classroom.
Designed to measure a school's performance and improvement, the annual API is based on a collection of standardized tests. Schools and districts are each given a score ranging from 200 to 1,000, with 800 being the long-term performance goal.
Schools are expected to increase their API by a certain number of points each year, including among various demographic groups. While experts say it's typical for schools to fluctuate a few points, some local elementary schools are experiencing never-before-seen changes, said Jill Baker, Long Beach Unified's assistant superintendent for elementary and K-8 schools.
Roosevelt Elementary saw a 26-point loss, while Harte Elementary lost 41 points. McKinley, Edison and Burnett elementary schools all lost more than 30 points. Lafayette Elementary had the largest decline in the district, with a 63-point drop. The schools are all traditionally high-performing, with API scores close to or well above the state target of 800.
While the school district is still determining the cause for some of these declines, Baker said budget cuts have certainly affected classrooms.
"Our district has experienced some really significant changes and we've been very mindful of protecting individual classrooms, but some things have begun to impact classrooms," Baker said.
"Last year we saw larger classes, fewer counselors, fewer tutors, fewer nurses, less support for teachers and fewer librarians," she said. "All of these different variables have had an impact, but we still don't know exactly to what degree."
The state's third-largest school district has laid off more than 1,000 employees and cut its budget by $300 million in the past four years in an effort to remain fiscally stable in a time of severe state funding cuts. The district will lose an additional $35 million in annual funding if Proposition 30, Gov. Jerry Brown's tax measure, fails in today's election.
Baker noted that the district still managed to grow its overall API by 10 points to 781 this year, despite the millions of dollars in cuts.
At the same time, nearly all of Long Beach's middle schools showed significant gains, thanks in part to a new focus on self-contained sixth-grade classrooms and higher enrollment in eighth-grade algebra.
Baker said the increased class sizes in the elementary grades last year may be partially to blame for the steep declines in performance in some elementary schools. However, some schools still showed significant gains despite large classrooms, she added.
The school district in the 2010-11 year bumped the student-to-teacher ratio to 30 to 1 for kindergarten through the third grade and 35 to 1 for fourth and fifth grades.
Baker said many classrooms previously had about 20 students.
"Moving from 20 to 30 students in a classroom can be a tremendous change for a teacher in how they divide up their time," she said.
The 63-point API drop to a score of 796 this year was a huge disappointment for many parents at Lafayette, a nationally recognized school that serves mostly underprivileged children in Central Long Beach.
In 2011, parents were outraged when nearly half of Lafayette's teachers were laid off under teacher seniority rules. Parents at the time were concerned that the cuts would disrupt the school's foundation of learning.
Parent Ricardo Linarez ran for a seat on the school board earlier this year with the hope of facilitating change in the district.
"Parents have worked so hard with the school to help raise the API scores and to see this loss is very sad," said Linarez, whose daughter is a second-grader at Lafayette.
Linarez said the school has a strong base of parent volunteers who are dedicated to raising funds and helping the school boost its API. Last year, parents raised more than $5,000 to buy 30 computer printers for classrooms, he added.
"It's not just about the layoffs, our classrooms need resources," he said.
Baker said resources are becoming ever more scarce under the weight of budget cuts.
"We're seeing the impact of millions of dollars in cuts and that's why we need our community's support in providing resources for our schools," she said. "We're all trying to do more with less resources."
As for parents' concern about their school's API, Baker said API should be analyzed over a period of time as opposed to looking at year-to-year fluctuations.
"We've had significant drops and within a year or two they are back to where they stated," she said. "The API is not the only measure of a school's performance, so I would urge parents to keep supporting their school and be active in their child's education."
While the district is short on resources, Baker said schools this year are evaluating student progress and working on teacher development to boost performance on next year's API.
Webster Elementary, nestled on the city's Westside, is the only elementary school in the district that has maintained its 20-to-1 student ratio, thanks to a special school improvement grant for select public schools. The school, which has received the grant since 2006, has to meet certain criteria and faces regular assessments to continue to receive the grant, said Principal Maria Martinez.
In a second-grade classroom on Friday, teacher Susan Ballmer worked with a group of 19 students on a lesson in government. Ballmer said the smaller classroom size is helpful.
"I feel like I can meet with every child every day and address their needs," she said.
Martinez said the school has benefited from smaller classes, but regular assessments, grade-to-grade collaboration and a strong parent support group are the real factors in the school's success. This year, Webster celebrated a 32-point API gain for a score of 834.
"We've definitely been lucky with the smaller classrooms, but we've also worked really hard for our improvement," she said. "Classroom size is an important issue, but it's what goes on in the classroom that really counts."

Lowell ladies lining up for Seguin
Spinners hosting Bruins star, boxer, while Travs offer old cars
By Benjamin Hill / MLB.com | August 14, 2012 7:26 AM ET
Speed dating is normally not an activity that could be viewed as fun for the whole family, but, then again, what the Lowell Spinners have planned for Wednesday is anything but normal.
The Spinners are staging "Speed Dating with Tyler Seguin," during which the Boston Bruins star (and supremely eligible bachelor) will meet with interested suitors in a "private section" of LeLacheur Park. And, yes, these lucky ladies will be permitted to bring along the whole family during their allotted half-inning engagement with the 20-year-old skating sensation.
"The biggest draw [of this promotion] is letting our winners bring their family with them," said Spinners director of media relations Jon Boswell. "Everyone loves Tyler Seguin, and we wanted to bring everyone into the loop."
Those who receive some much-coveted face time with young Mr. Seguin will be given the opportunity to, as Boswell says, "ask him anything they want, get autographs, and take pictures." Photo plaques commemorating the speed dating experience will be given to each woman at the conclusion of the contest.
And, yes, despite the all-inclusive approach, you must be a woman to win. The only way to guarantee some private time with Seguin is to bid for the experience in an online auction, but other possibilities abound. The Spinners are staging contests through Facebook and Twitter, in which hopeful ladies explain why they are deserving of meeting Seguin ("Twitter will be more difficult, because the answer can't be more than 140 characters," said Boswell). But even if that fails, all is not lost. "Lucky" concession items and gameday programs will also give fans the chance to win, and the Spinners will stage on-field obstacle races between four Seguin jersey-wearing women to determine the final spot.
One thing's for certain: the competition will be fierce.
"Since the day we announced this, the phones have been ringing non-stop," said Boswell. "We've had all kinds of people asking, and everyone's looking to pull the favor card. 'How can my wife or girlfriend or daughter meet Tyler?' I've never had to say 'no' more times than I have with this one."
A Ward-winning promo
And since we're on the topic of the Spinners, let's turn our attention to what the team has planned for Thursday (the day after the speed dating extravaganza). The first 1,000 fans receive garden gnomes in the likeness of legendary fighter and Lowell native Micky Ward. Boswell says that this promo is the result of the Spinners wanting to "do something out of the box." So, they got in touch with a boxer.
"We called [Ward] up and said, 'What are your thoughts on being a garden gnome?' His response was 'huh?' said Boswell, doing his best to mimic Ward's gravely tone of voice. "Once we explained it he said, 'Ah, it sounds great. Just make sure it looks as much like me as possible' ... [The gnome] is going to protect the garden really well -- it will give a stiff right hook to any squirrels or bunnies trying to get at the vegetables."
The original, and still the best
"Clunker Car" promotions (and derivatives thereof) have become commonplace throughout the Minor Leagues, as the spectacle of giving away less-than-mint condition automobiles will always be entertaining. But the Arkansas Travelers will have you know that that they did it first and that they still do it the best. "THE ORIGINAL CLUNKER CAR NIGHT" is how the event is billed on their promotional calendar. "Biggest night of the baseball season! A used car given away every single inning!"
The Travs are giving away the clunker cars on Friday, but if the methodical distribution of certified lemons isn't your thing, then maybe you'll want to hold off attending the ballgame until Saturday. That evening's contest will be preceded by the defiantly un-politically correct spectacle that is midget wrestling. Though there is currently no word on which combatants are on this year's bill, it will be tough to surpass 2011's heavyweight championship bout between Bobby Dean and his arch-nemesis Lil Kato.
Democracy in action
Last week's column featured a write-up on the "Bobblection" promotions that are currently sweeping the Minor League landscape, but on Friday the Huntsville Stars are finding a more meaningful way to combine baseball and politics. It's "Candidates Night," and all contenders for Huntsville's upcoming mayoral election will be in attendance. The team explains that "Every candidate will have a table on the concourse to meet and greet Stars fans and will address the crowd before the game, so come out and meet the future mayor of Huntsville!"
A brief exploration of an alternate scenario
The Omaha Royals changed their name to the "Storm Chasers" prior to the 2011 campaign, a meteorological moniker that was one of nine finalists in an extensive "Name the Team" contest. The choice of Storm Chasers resulted in no small amount of local controversy, but this brouhaha paled in comparison to what would have resulted had the team chose "OmaHogs" instead. This name, also one of the nine finalists, is the focus of Saturday's "What If? Night" promotion. The Storm Chasers will take the field in special "OmaHogs" jerseys, for the first and almost certainly last time (the jerseys will be auctioned off after the game).
Into the ellipse ...
An exceedingly brief look at other notable promotions taking place this week ...
- Aug. 15: The Reading Phillies host a sure-to-be surreal "Character Dinner," which combines an All-You-Can-Eat buffet with a guest list that includes Screwball, Broccoli, Bucky the Beaver and, of course, the Crazy Hot Dog Vendor.
- Aug. 16: The BlueClaws are out of town, but the circus is in town as Cole Brothers Circus of the Stars pitches its tent in the parking lot of Lakewood's FirstEnergy Park.
- Aug. 17: The Memphis Redbirds give away Organ Donor Jersey replica T-shirts, modeled after 2011's innards-exposing theme jerseys. ... In Wilmington, the Blue Rocks pay tribute to the northeastern breakfast delicacy that is scrapple. ... The Williamsport Crosscutters, meanwhile, pay tribute to the less divisive breakfast entity that is bacon.
- Aug. 18: The Charleston RiverDogs give away slippers featuring mascot Charlie, right on the "heels" of last week's distribution of boxer shorts. ... If you've ever wanted to deposit coins into an ultra-realistic dog head, then head to State College for the Spikes' "Bob the Baseball Dog Bank" giveaway.
- Aug. 19: Now here's a unique giveway: the Albuquerque Isotopes distributing "Green Chile Pepper" bobbleheads.
- Aug. 20: The Yakima Bears are staging a "Wine, Women and Baseball" promo and -- look out, ladies! -- I'll be in attendance. ... The Lehigh Valley IronPigs show off their generous side with an "Ultimate Fan Cave" giveaway to one lucky fan.
- Aug. 21: Let's just quit while we're ahead. Thanks for reading.

PHILADELPHIA -Junior Courtney Wilson recorded her first career double-double and was one of four Quakers in double figures to lead the University of Pennsylvania women's basketball team past Brown, 60-48, Friday night at The Palestra.
With their seventh win in the last eight games and ninth in the last 11, the Quakers (16-10, 9-3 Ivy) improved to 5-0 at home against the Ivy League this season. Penn's 16 overall wins and nine Ivy wins are each tied for fourth-most in program history and are the most since the 2003-04 team won the Ivy League title.
Freshman Keiera Ray scored the game's first five points in the first 36 seconds. Brown answered with eight of the next 10 to take an 8-7 lead at the 16:27 mark.
But the Penn defense kept the Bears off the board for the next seven minutes. Meanwhile, the Quakers managed a 13-0 run behind seven points from junior captain Alyssa Baron and capped by a three from sophomore Renee Busch for a 20-8 advantage.
The lead was 26-15 with 5:31 left in the opening half, but Brown went on an 8-2 run over the next three minutes to close to within 28-23. However, sophomore Katy Allen bounced a three off every part of the rim to extend Penn's lead to 31-23 at the half.
Penn took over during the early stages of the second half. Leading 34-26, the Quakers went on a 14-2 run to go up 20. Ray hit two of Penn's season-high 11 threes on the night and sophomore Kara Bonenberger added five points in the run for a 48-28 edge with 14:04 to go.
The Bears battled back though. Penn led 51-32 before Brown scored 12 in a row to cut its deficit to 51-44 with just 3:59 left.
The Quakers didn't allow the visitors to get any closer. Ray hit a three and Wilson added four of her career-high 10 points - to go along with her career-high 10 rebounds - to go back up double digits. The Bears were never within 10 again.
In addition to Wilson's career night, Ray finished with 16 points, Roche had 11 and Baron had 10. It marks the second straight game and fourth time this season the Quakers have had four players in double figures. Baron had a team-high six assists - the 12th time this year she has had at least five. Ray had a game-high four steals. Bonenberger and Wilson, who are first and second in the Ivy League in blocks, respectively, each had two more rejections. Bonenberger was three points shy of a double-double with 10 rebounds.
Penn was 20-of-52 (38.%) from the floor and 11-of-25 (44.0%) from three. The Bears were 16-of-54 (29.6%) overall and 6-of-19 (31.6%) from beyond the arc. Penn, which had 18 assists on 20 baskets, won the rebounding battle, 41-35. Both teams had 16 turnovers.
With two games remaining, Penn is two games behind first-place Princeton and is tied with Harvard for second-place in the league standings.
Penn returns to action on Saturday night in a rematch with Yale. Tip off at The Palestra is set for 7 p.m. Penn fell to the Bulldogs at the Yale campus Recreational Gym on Feb. 8 after Lee Amphitheater was deemed unplayable.

Shakira had her eyes set on being a musician since she was only 4 and had to work her tail off to get where she is.
But if her baby boy Milan also gets the itch...thanks to technology and her help it won't be quite as big a struggle.
"If Milan, my son, decided to become a singer, an artist, I think he would have it easier. But for me it was hard. I had to go to every single radio station with my album under my arm, it was tough."
We night have to wait a few years to hear Milan's music, but Shakira's latest self-titled album is on iTunes now.

Walker fans eight, wins Double-A debut
Young right-hander helps Generals improve to 4-1 on season
By John Parker / Special to MLB.com | April 9, 2012 1:06 PM ET
Walker posted a 2.89 ERA and 113 strikeouts in 96 2/3 innings for Class A Clinton last season and was named the Mariners organization's Pitcher of the Year. This spring he bypassed the Class A Advanced California League to join fellow top prospects Danny Hultzen (No. 16) and left-hander James Paxton (No. 77) in the Generals rotation.
Paxton fanned 10 over 5 2/3 shutout innings on Saturday, earning the victory. Hultzen, the second overall pick in the 2011 Draft, took the loss in his professional debut Sunday but struck out seven over four-plus frames. The Generals' Walker got off to a curious start on Monday afternoon as Barons leadoff man Kenneth Williams ripped a double to right field but broke a cardinal rule of base running by being thrown out at third. In the second inning, Jose Martinez successfully legged out a one-out triple, later scoring on Walker's first Double-A wild pitch. The right-hander uncorked six wild pitches in his 18 starts last season.
The Generals responded in the bottom of the second with two runs of their own. Johermyn Chavez drew a two-out walk before Eric Campbell, Jesus Sucre and Gabriel Noriega delivered three consecutive singles. They added a third run when Nick Franklin doubled and scored in the third.
Walker cruised through the third and fourth, working around a leadoff single by Barons infielder Drew Garcia in the latter frame. A leadoff walk to Jared Mitchell in the fifth came back to haunt the right-hander, however, when a two-out double by Erik Morrison cut the Generals' lead to 3-2.
The youngster closed out his afternoon by freezing Williams on strikes. He recorded a pair of groundouts and four flyouts to go along with his eight strikeouts.
Jackson reliever Carter Capps gave up three straight singles to open the Birmingham sixth but retired the next three batters -- two by strikeout -- to end the threat. He tossed three shutout frames.
Stephen Pryor worked a scoreless ninth to record his third save in as many appearances.
Seven different Generals contributed a hit apiece as Jackson took four of five games in their season-opening series against the Barons.
Birmingham starter Pedro Hernandez took the loss in his first game in the White Sox organization. Acquired by the White Sox from the Padres as part of the deal that sent Carlos Quentin to San Diego, Hernandez yielded three runs on six hits and a pair of walks while striking out two over 4 2/3 innings.

Replaced an old 8n with this 25 horse power house. This tractor is great! I am very pleased with the size and performance of this little tractor. I was not sure this would pull the 5 foot brush hog, and 6 foot finish mower. The loader works well, and is easy to take off and put on. I would recommend this tractor. The shuttle shift is great, and if you are used to a gear tractor, no problem. No need for HST. Great value!
I can't say enough good about my tractor, I'm very please with it and have no regrets whatsover. I bought mine after looking and considering used Branson's, John Deere, Kubota, Kioti, Massey-Ferguson and McCormicks, all of the them great tractors in their own regards. I have to say that mine, a 3215 gear, 4wd with a loader is exactly what I wanted. I love my tractor. I bought mine with around 65 hours on it and have since added 20+ hours on it. I was a little apprehensive at first in that would it be powerful enough to do the work I bought it for and I haven't been disappointed at all. I've used it to clear old pasture that hasn't been farmed since the mid 1960's and it pushes up 5-6" diameter trees with no problem. The tractor is very fuel efficient, easy to operate, and maneuvers easily in tight spots. While doing nothing to deserve the criticism in the way of failure or problems, my only complaint is the seat. I feel that the seat could/should be more robust in the design of the seat frame. I'm only around 180 lbs. and on inclines it sqeaks and crackles a little in protest but it hasn't failed. I guess I had to say something negative so one might not think I'm a payed spokesman for Mahindra tractors.
Even though my tractor had all of 16 hours on it when I purchased it on line from Agri-Credit I listed it as new.
I use my tractor for custom bush hogging as well as around our property mowing pasture ect. Only one problem I have had with it is dragging off the lower portion of the exhaust and running it through the cutter. Mahindra has since redesigned the exhaaust so this won't happen on the newer 4025 that replaced the 3525.
I work my tractor at least 4 days a week. Not only would I recommend it to anyone needing a good solid tractor, I will tell you, my next tractor will be a 25 series Mahindra.
I shopped long & hard before I chose the 2816 HST. I drove many different makes/models in the process. This tractor fits me "like a glove"! I have received excellent service/assistance from Mahindra including a recent courtesy follow up call from India!
My tractor came with the ML106 loader, it works great. I use the loader, 4' bush hog, 9" post hole digger, trencher, 3-point single plow/trencher and 3-point boom lift. All with ease.
Mahindra offerred the best machine (for me) at far less $$ than any other manufacturers. I love tractors in general, but I wouldn't trade mine for any other.
Be sure & give Mahindra a look-see. By the way, no sales pressure was ever exerted by the dealer, they are genuine agriculture oriented good folks! I have had my tractor for almost a year now & still very happy with "Lil Red"!! (This review is not solicited and I am not getting paid for it.) WR
Purchased the tractor without a front end loader. Added it in 2009. The tractor has all the power I desired. Very functional and versitile. The shuttle shift and 12 gears are great. The syncro shift transmission and platform are very much better than a standard tractor. Plowing, discing and bush hogging have become more enjoyable less time consuming. My brother in law purchased a Massey Ferguson at the same time I purchased the this tractor. The performance from the Mahindra is dramatically better.
Maintenance is relativly easy.
I first saw Mahindra tractors during an extended business trip to India. We drove many miles cross country through agricultural areas and these tractors were everywhere. Driving up and down the roads, deep in the mud of rice fields; everywhere you might expect to see a tractor, there was a Mahindra being worked very hard. I saw them new, I saw them well used, I saw them missing hoods and fenders from extreme use. I did not see any parked or broken down. They all ran and all worked in this remarkable land. And they were everywhere. Hundreds of them. I wondered if they were sold in the USA.
So when my local dealer took on the line, I knew it was time to take a look at this rugged work horse. I have not been disappointed. Very heavy, sturdy and solid feeling. Nothing flimsy about this tractor. The loader has no trouble digging into heavy white rock or dirt and driving away. With a heavy blade on the rear, it can roll dirt and rock with ease. Pulling a bush hog or disc is just another farm implement. Hooking up to the tractor is normal. There is nothing here that is not familiar to me from using International, Ferguson, Ford, and other brands over many years. The only new feature for me is the 4WD, and it works great, putting the weight to use in a way 2WD tractors cannot equal. This is no light weight "toy" import nor is it an overly complicated and over priced gadget machine: this is a solid powerful tractor.
I am now looking at a slightly smaller tractor for steep hills and tighter spaces. It will most likely be a 5035. It will certainly be a Mahindra.
use daily on cattle ranch,plenty of power,the loaderis like having another employee.controls are within easy reach.i would compare to the big green tractor any day.it has completed every job i need done.
i have bought several new farm tractors over the last 40 years. the 4110 is by far the most smooth operating and handling. the controls are easy operated and works smooth . has plenty of power and execellant lugging power. i would recomend it to anyone.
I know I just got my tractor yesterday but I love it!! it is just my size. My husband has a 5500. Too big for me. I am almost 5ft. tall. So I needed something smaller just for me. He has been so pleased with his that it was a no brainer which one I would choose, just wanted people (little ladies like me) there is a tractor for them out there. A Mahindra!
Janet Elston
Awesome tractor does everything I ask of it. Working on clearing 10 acres with this machine. Dont know how I would accomplish this task without Mahindra 1815. Looked at orange "tractor" bx series, more money, looks like a stamped steel sears tractor 13k+!!! Great dealer support, Erie Power. Excellent warranty support no complaints. Would buy another Mahindra and always tout prouduct.
Attachments include, 3pt finish mower,5ft backblade,york rake,3pt tooth and most importantly 1710a backhoe attachment!

One night Whittaker was drugged at a strip club and someone stole $2,000 from his car.
Whittaker eventually gave away more than $50 million to almost anyone who would ask.
I worked hardest and longest—seven to eight years—on my biography of Whittaker Chambers, and I learned the most doing it.
As Whittaker Chambers remarked in Witness: [W]hen I took up my little sling and aimed at Communism, I also hit something else.
I would like to have Whittaker's full name and address so I can learn the come-out of that little flock.
He wanted to know if we'd got this year's taxes on the Whittaker place.
Perhaps I ought to tell you that my sympathies are entirely with Captain Whittaker in this affair.
By that time the Whittaker place'll be a worse disgrace than 'tis now.
Mrs. Whittaker might have been the little blind god herself for all she saw of the grotesque in her noble Alfred.
The "depot hill" is not as high as Whittaker's Hill, but the view is almost as extensive.

Ehm okay..
Well what good is this, if this kernel is not supported for other comps than your own?
The BackTrack kernel is MUCH different from the kernels you compile and install yourself.
As those you have made yourself and/or installed yourself mostly only works 100%
on your own little system. Meaning i don't think this config will work optimal.
A request i would like to see in the BackTrack Final release would be support for
Mirror'ing in the kernel, if that isn't supported in the Beta

NFL Draft Story Central
San Francisco 49ers
2013 draft picks: 1st round (31), 2(34, 61), 3(74, 93), 4(128, 131), 5(157, 164), 6(180), 7 (227, 246, 252)
Jim Harbaugh has been on quite a tear lately, first at Stanford and now with the 49ers. San Francisco came so close to winning the Super Bowl a few months back.
The 49ers have had an interesting off-season, where they traded away former top pick [overall] Alex Smith to Kansas City. They also landed former Brown's starting quarterback Colt McCoy to serve as Colin Kaepernick's backup. In a bold move prior to free agency San Francisco landed veteran wide receiver Anquan Boldin in a trade with the Ravens. No longer with the team are wide receiver Ted Ginn and tight end Delanie Walker.
Defensively, the big hit to the 49ers defense was at safety with the loss of Dashon Goldson, who signed with Tampa Bay. But the 49ers appear to have gotten secondary help with the additions of cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha and safety Craig Dahl. San Francisco also signed defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey and outside linebacker Dan Skuta.
A key pick up could be for Cleveland kicker Phil Dawson. He replaces David Akers, who certainly had his struggles this past season.
What's great for the 49ers is they can retool certain positions in the upcoming draft, as San Francisco has 13 picks. Of those 13, five are in the top 93. This is a team that should be very active on the trade front come the NFL Draft, as they have plenty of ammunition to move up and down the draft.
1. Safety
Goldson is a loss for the secondary and now the 49ers must try and find two safeties in this draft. Fortunately for San Francisco it's a very good year at this position. San Francisco could opt to move up in the draft to try and land the top safety on the board in Kenny Vaccaro or they can stand pat with their first or second selection to grab the best available between Matt Elam, Eric Reid or Jonathan Cyprien. If they elect to wait on this position there are a handful of players they could grab in the mid to late rounds. With so many picks they could also afford take a chance on a guy like former Miami Hurricane Ray Ray Armstrong. He didn't play last season and could be a real steal for someone in the late innings of this draft. Signing Dahl helped and depending on how they move up and down within the draft could dictate whether the 49ers grab one or two at this position.
2. Cornerback
Now doubt that the 49ers have a talented football team. But their weakness is the secondary and cornerback has to be addressed. Too often their corners got burned. Even with the addition of Asomugha San Francisco must get help in the draft at cornerback. Here they could draft as many as two. It all depends where they want to land one. Once again, cornerback is relatively deep. Dee Milliner is the clear No. 1 guy. After him, there's a pretty solid group to choose from as the pool is pretty deep. I have to believe that one of their first five picks is a cornerback. Some players to keep an eye on are Jonathan Banks, Blidi Wrih-Wilson, David Amerson, Leon McFadden, Jamar Taylor, Robert Alford, Tyran Mathieu, Darius Slay, Jordan Poyer, B.W. Webb and some others. All of these players are certainly among top 100 prospects or so in this draft.
3. Defensive Tackle
There are certainly a handful of nose tackles that could fit the San Francisco defensive scheme. The 49ers could certainly package some picks to move up in the first round or land a good player if they do nothing. John Jenkins, Jonathan Hankins, Jesse Williams, and Brandon Williams are all guys that should fall between the back third of the first round through the third.
4. Wide Receiver
San Francisco got one of the ultimate gamers with their acquisition of Boldin. Michael Crabtree really came into his own last year. The 49ers drafted A.J. Jenkins in the first round last year and it's still to be determined on him and what kind of impact he can make on this team. Therefore, San Francisco will draft at least one wideout. They could be bold and trade up to land the top slot guy in Tavon Austin. He's arguably the most explosive player in this draft and also a fantastic return guy. Then again, they could do nothing and grab a very good receiver in the second or third round. Plenty will be available.
5. Tight End
This is a Harbaugh team and we all know how he loves his tight ends. With the loss of Walker I think they draft one, maybe even two players at this position. Depending on how things fall in the first round they could have their pick between Zach Ertz and Tyler Eifert, the draft's top two tight ends. To me, Ertz is the better all-around player and could be the guy here. There's also the connection between Ertz and Harbaugh.
6. Defensive End
Jesse Williams, mentioned above, is a big and strong defensive lineman. What some don't realize is just how versatile he is to a front, as you can play the one, three and five-technique. It wouldn't surprise me at all to see him selected by San Francisco. Margus Hunt is another possibility but does his play really match is measurables? Datone Jones is another to watch fairly early. In the mid-to-late rounds William Gholston, Quinton Dial, Damion Square, and Kapron Lewis-Moore are ones to watch for.
7. Offensive Line
Expect the 49ers to draft two to three offensive linemen, including one center. The draft's top rated true center is Travis Kendrick from Wisconsin. He will likely go sometime in the second round, possibly third. I love Alabama's Barrett Jones because of his versatility to play anywhere in the interior. San Francisco would love to add some depth at offensive tackle. Look for the 49ers to make a later selection here.

LSU coach Les Miles is prepared to play safety Jalen Mills "early and late" during the Tigers' game against Wisconsin on Saturday, and the coach has already decided who will start at quarterback.
He's not telling, though.
Miles addressed reporters during his media luncheon Monday. Here are the news nuggets from the talk:
- Mills, arrested in June and suspended over the summer, is prepared to play in the game against Wisconsin, Miles said. Mills' off-the-field situation is similar to that of running back Jeremy Hill last season. Hill missed the first five quarters of the 2013 season, an unannounced suspension.
- Miles has made a decision on who will start the game against Wisconsin at quarterback - Anthony Jennings or Brandon Harris. He will not reveal the starter, and it doesn't make much difference, the coach said. Both quarterbacks will play in the game, Miles emphasized again.
- The coach said Ethan Pocic will start at center and Hoko Fanaika will start at right guard. It appears that Fanaika beat out Evan Washington in that battle. Pocic has dethroned Porter, a senior who started last year.
- Miles suggested that LSU is playing both quarterbacks because one has not separated himself from the other. When that happens, the team might begin playing just one quarterback, Miles hinted.
- Miles said he expects six to 12 true freshmen to play Saturday, six of those having key roles. Miles would not name players.

LONG BEACH - A ballot initiative to raise pay for hotel workers has gathered enough valid voter signatures to be placed on the November ballot, according to the Long Beach City Clerk's Office.
Petitions submitted May 4 had an estimated 27,410 valid signatures. The figure was based on a sample taken from the 31,546 turned in by supporters of the measure that would require hotels with more than 100 rooms to pay workers a minimum of $13 per hour.
City Clerk Larry Herrera said 21,851 voter signatures, or 10 percent of registered voters, were needed to qualify the "living wage" initiative.
On Tuesday, the Long Beach City Council is scheduled to take action on the ballot measure by either sending it to voters or adopting the proposed law directly.
The council can also choose a third option of ordering a report detailing economic and other impacts of the proposal before deciding whether to send it to voters or pass it as law.
The process is outlined in California Elections Code 9215.
Herrera said it is unlikely the council members would decide to pass the measure themselves.
Supporters of the initiative plan to attend the council meeting.
"Everybody's really excited that we're moving forward," said Leigh Shelton, a spokeswoman for Unite Here Local 11.
The meeting will be held at 5 p.m. in City Hall, 333 W. Ocean Blvd.
A broadcast can be viewed on Charter Communications Channel 3, Verizon FiOS Channel 21 and at www.longbeach.gov.

School District Bans Birthday Cupcakes Because They AREN'T FAIR
An elementary school in the outer suburbs of Atlanta has outlawed birthday cupcakes, cookies and, in fact, all food from birthday parties over fears that some kids with food allergies could feel sad and left out.
Officials at Brooks Elementary School in Newnan, Ga. announced the draconian new policy for the upcoming school year via a letter to parents, reports The Newnan Times-Herald.
"When parents have brought in goodies for birthdays, oftentimes these children are not included in the snack because of dietary restrictions and have felt left out," Julie Raschen, principal of Brooks Elementary, said, according to the Times-Herald. "Parents can still send in treats for their child's birthday, we just ask that they not be food items."
Raschen claimed that upwards of 10 percent of the students at the school have suffered from all manner of food allergies to foods ranging from peanuts to gluten to blueberries.
"This is a school-based decision due to the high number of students with significant allergies at Brooks," she explained.
While allergy concerns are important, the principal equally stressed fairness concerns. Thus, the cupcake ban will treat every student fairly by ensuring that no students receive cupcakes.
"Although our first priority above all else is the safety of our students, we are also trying to create an environment in which all students feel included and not singled out," Raschen told the local newspaper. "So both safety and a positive environment for all students were the reasons for this change."

Did the same thing. It sucked. Literally spent like 8 hours changing settings over and over again. Let it also be known that I was using KDE. So apparently neither 64bit versions of the OS work with ettercap in that respect. Really hope this helps someone avoid the endless googling I did. My advice to those trying to "work around" this limitation: give up. delete the vm or format the hdd. download the 32 bit version. get on with your pre-pentesting.
sorry for the double post, i forgot to include this in my previous post in this thread:
side note for thread: http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forum...irtualbox.html
for reasons our of my control (given an error that i do not have permission to access that page when i try to reply) i cannot respond in the thread. if you do that install (64bit kde in VirtualBox) and get the error from ettercap: Dissector "dns" not supported (etter.conf line 70). You cannot do ARP spoofing or anything of that sort. The only resolution to the problem I have found is removing the 64bit version and trading to a 32 bit version... hopefully this little message will show up if someone searches the forum

Other than ditching his crutches and getting a haircut, Mike D'Antoni didn't do much to commemorate his first game on the sidelines Tuesday as the coach of the Lakers.
The man who replaced Mike Brown - and more importantly, the memory of Phil Jackson - knows better than most the uniqueness of the journey he's embarking on, so to do anything out of the ordinary beforehand would have been a bit too much.
"You're coaching the Lakers at Staples Center," he said at his pregame news conference. "It doesn't get any better than this."
Enough said.
Besides, after sitting the past four games while recuperating from recent knee-replacement surgery, D'Antoni was just looking forward to the comfortable routine of coaching a basketball game again.
It didn't hurt the Lakers held on for a 95-90 victory against Brooklyn.
"Well, first of all, it's great to be out there," D'Antoni said. "Great to be with the guys and that's what you coach for."
Even if he did have to grimace through the lingering post-surgery pain and probably scale back his sideline intensity to accommodate the still-mending knee.
"I'm 61 years old; I haven't been pain-free since I was 30," he said, as if this wasn't anything new.
The Lakers only added to his pain by making just 19 of 37 free throws to allow the Nets to stick around until the closing moments.
"Who's in charge of free throws?" D'Antoni asked afterward. "Nah. That's going to happen sometimes. We'll get better."
In any event, he wasn't about to go jumping out of the specialized, elevated chair he'll use through the remainder of his rehabilitation to argue a call or get his players' attention.
For now, anyway, he'll be parked in his seat.
"Pain will do that to you," he said, laughing.
Nevertheless, he roamed the sidelines more than he thought he would, alternating between sitting for long periods and walking around, especially over the tense final minutes when the Lakers overcame a six-point deficit to get their fifth win in six games.
"It's amazing what adrenaline can do," D'Antoni said.
As far as that custom chair, it's eerily similar to the one Jackson used to ease the burden on the various physical ailments he was dealing with over the last few years of his Lakers tenure.
Talk about added pressure.
It's not like D'Antoni isn't keenly aware of the heat that comes with sitting in the Lakers captain's chair - not to mention any remaining skepticism over being chosen over Jackson to replace Brown - but for now he'll be reminded of the large shadow hovering over him every time he plops down in Jackson's former seat.
"I'm just keeping it warm," he said.
Perhaps, but it's obvious D'Antoni is reveling in the opportunity to coach the Lakers, and was eager to finally get started.
"This is fun, this is great," D'Antoni said. "I'm looking forward to it."
The Lakers are 5-1 since Brown was fired, albeit with Bernie Bickerstaff coaching the team during five of those games while D'Antoni conducted practices.
That changed Tuesday, with D'Antoni back on the sideline.
"I'm good, I'm ready to go." D'Antoni said. "I'm just looking anxious to keep moving forward and keep getting better."
For the most part the Lakers played along, playing the up-tempo style D'Antoni prefers - if not a bit sloppily - while also showing they can defend by limiting the Nets to just 33 second-half points.
Offense might be D'Antoni's calling card, but it will be defense that determines the Lakers' championship hopes.
"We held them to 33 points and (the Nets) are a good offensive team," he said. "The players made some adjustments."
It's still a work in progress, D'Antoni slowly and methodically putting in a new offense, but the Lakers clearly seem to be embracing the new style.
"It'll come, we'll get there," he said.
Most importantly, D'Antoni seems comfortable in his new job.
"It's the greatest job in the world, what's not to like?" he said.
Now if they can just get everybody healthy, with Dwight Howard still mending from back surgery - he's 80 percent - and Steve Nash and Steve Blake still out with injuries.
"We'll get there," D'Antoni promised. "There's a lot of time left in the season."

21 month old still wakes up once a night
My 21 month old daughter still frequently wakes up once during the night. It has gotten better since we started a routine of her putting her own doll to sleep but she still wakes up and needs to be cuddled to sleep. I know that many will suggest sleep training but it doesn't work on my daughter because of her throwing up if she cries too much. Both of my kids have such a bad gag reflex that if they get too upset they throw up. It isn't pretty.
The last few nights have been much better with her finally falling asleep at 9pm and only waking at 6am because she was wet. I'm hoping this lasts but usually her wake up time is around 2am and she isn't up long. She just want to be hugged and will fall back asleep.
I'm just hoping she can sleep straight through the night before our 3rd baby comes
Any suggestions would be great!!! Thank you!

Unfortunately, it is pretty common for 21 month old babies to wake up in the night. The doll sleep routine is a good idea. Like many things, learning to sleep through the night and self-soothe is something that just happens randomly for most children, with every individual child being quite different.
I would never recommend sleep training and I am fairly sure most of the women in this forum are along the same lines of thinking. Most of my children began sleeping through the night right around their second birthday, so you may very well be on the cusp of a breakthrough.
Just keep doing what you are doing and hope for the best! Since she seems to be waking early due to a wet diaper, you may want to try reducing what she is getting to drink in the hours immediately prior to bedtime. If she is still falling asleep with a bottle or at the breast, that is the habit I would work on breaking, rather than leaving her to cry out. Slowly decrease what is in the bottle or change it to the dentist-recommended water bottle at night. If she is breastfed before bed, try having dad or another caregiver do the honors, so she stops associating sleep with milk.

Thank you Angela!
That makes me feel a lot better!!!
She does have a bad habit with having a bedtime bottle so we're going to try and change that up now so she doesn't relate the two together (sleep with bottle). Dad is going to try and do the bedtime routine tonight and see how it goes.
Thanks again!

Hi babybubba!
I have the same problem with my daughter (22 months). I have already given her just water in the bottle, when she wakes up in the night and I would say that's helpful. Sometimes she sleeps all night and that's the only thing I want. Also, I had a problem with temperature in our bedroom, so try to manage it on the most suitable one, especially because the babies are always hotter than we are. So pay a tension on that. Good luck.

Keep us updated Shannon! I know it does not seem like it now, but you will eventually have a child who sleeps through the night. =)

You should also consult to the doctor.

Hi everyone,
It is quite normal for a two year old to not sleep through the night. However, 'sleep training' books and websites would often have us believe otherwise.
As new parents, the most frequently asked question seems to be 'how is he/she sleeping' or 'how are the nights' or perhaps 'is he/ she sleeping through yet'. This despite the fact that babies are not meant to sleep through the night - they need to wake frequently for feeding and comfort. And so, as a baby becomes a toddler neither must they or will they immediately start sleeping through. For many who do not use strict sleep training this is a gradual process. Often, at some time between a child's second and third birthday parents will find that their toddler is sleeping at night without needing their comfort.
Even as adults, we actually wake many times during the night - we just do not remember it in the morning. Toddlers, and babies, can gradually learn to settle themselves after these wakenings. The No Cry Sleep Solution explains gentle ways to help your baby to settle themselves back to sleep. Having a bedtime routine also helps toddlers to sleep better, as does making sure they are eating well and getting lots of exercise and stimulation.
Finally I'd like to add that, as a parent of a two and a half year old who has just started sleeping at night without needing us to go to him, it will happen! When it does, it's wonderful to have memories of happy nights comforting your child.
Best wishes,

Leasing a Mercedes-benz B Class Hatchback B200 Sport 5dr has never been easier on Business Contract Hire.
Business contract hire also known as (BCH) allows businesses to finance their vehicles with an agreed mileage and a minimum initial rental for the contract.
First choose your initial rental. The minimum initial rental on business contract hire is 3 months in advance or as high as 12 rentals upfront depending on the deal you choose.
Once you have decided you upfront initial rental it's time to choose your mileage. Mileages will range from as low as 5000 miles per annum all the way through to 50,000 miles per annum.
Then choose your term. The majority of deals advertised will range from 2-4 years.
The advantage of business contract hire is that it allows businesses to reclaim the VAT on their vehicle lease deal.
If you have any further queries please see our business contract hire and leasing guide.
Leasing a Mercedes-benz B Class Hatchback B200 Sport 5dr has never been easier on Personal Contract Hire.
Personal Contract Hire also known as (PCH) is very similar to business contract hire, with exception of reclaiming the VAT. All Personal Contract Hire deals are marked with 'Inc VAT'.
Personal Contract Hire is not a Personal Contract Purchase (PCP). However please feel free to get in touch if this is what you are seeking.
If you have any further queries please see our personal contract hire and leasing guide.
