Transplant rejectionGraft rejection; Tissue/organ rejection
Transplant rejection is a process in which a transplant recipient's immune system attacks the transplanted organ or tissue.
Your body's immune system usually protects you from substances that may be harmful, such as germs, poisons, and sometimes cancer cells.
These harmful substances have proteins called antigens coating their surfaces. As soon as these antigens enter the body, the immune system recognizes that they are not from that person's body and that they are "foreign," and attacks them.
When a person receives an organ from someone else during transplant surgery, that person's immune system may recognize that it is foreign. This is because the person's immune system detects that the antigens on the cells of the organ are different or not "matched." Mismatched organs, ororgans that are not matched closely enough, can trigger a blood transfusion reaction or transplant rejection. To help prevent this reaction, doctors type, or match both the organ donor and the person who is receiving the organ. The more similar the antigens are between the donor and recipient, the less likely that the organ will be rejected.
Tissue typing ensures that the organ or tissue is as similar as possible to the tissues of the recipient. The match is usually not perfect. No two people, except identical twins, have identical tissue antigens.
Doctors usemedicines to suppress the recipient's immune system. The goal is to prevent the immune system from attacking the newly transplanted organ when the organ is not closely matched. If thesemedicines are not used, the body will almost always launch an immune response and destroy the foreign tissue.
There are some exceptions, though. Cornea transplants are rarely rejected because the cornea has no blood supply. Also, transplants from one identical twin to another are almost never rejected.
There are three types of rejection:
- Hyperacute rejection occurs a few minutes after the transplant when the antigens are completely unmatched. The tissue must be removed right away so the recipient does not die. This type of rejection is seen when a recipient is given the wrong type of blood. For example, a person given type A blood when he or she is type B.
- Acute rejection may occur any time from the first week after the transplant to 3 months afterward.All recipients have some amount of acute rejection.
- Chronic rejection can take place over many years. The body's constant immune response against the new organ slowly damages the transplanted tissues or organ.
- The organ's function may start to decrease
- General discomfort, uneasiness, or ill feeling
- Pain or swelling in the area of the organ (rare)
- Fever (rare)
- Flu-like symptoms, including chills, body aches, nausea, cough, and shortness of breath
The symptoms depend on the transplanted organ or tissue. For example, patients who reject a kidney may have less urine and patients who reject a heart may have symptoms of heart failure.
Exams and Tests
The doctor will examine the area over and around the transplanted organ.The areafeel tender to you (especially with a kidney transplant).
Signs that the organ is not working properly include:
- High blood sugar (pancreas transplant)
- Less urine released (kidney transplant)
- Shortness of breath and less ability to exercise (heart transplant)
- Yellow skin color and easy bleeding (liver transplant)
A biopsy of the transplanted organ can confirm that it is being rejected. A routine biopsy is often performed to detect rejection early, before symptoms develop.
When organ rejection is suspected, one or more of the following tests may be done before the organ biopsy:
- Abdominal CT scan
- Chest x-ray
- Heart echocardiography
- Kidney arteriography
- Kidney ultrasound
- Lab tests of kidney or liver function
The goal of treatment is to make sure the transplanted organ or tissue works properly, and to suppress your immune system response. Suppressing the immune responsemay prevent transplant rejection.
Medicines will likely be used to suppress the immune response. Dosage depends on your condition andmay be very high while the tissue is being rejected.After you no longer have signs of rejection, the dosage will likelybe lowered.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Some organ and tissue transplants are more successful than others. If rejection begins,medicines that suppress the immune system may stop the rejection. Most people need to take thesemedicines for the rest of their life.
Even though medicines are used to suppress the immune system, organ transplants can still fail because of rejection.
Single episodes of acute rejection are easy to treat and rarely lead to organ failure.
Chronic rejection is the leading cause of organ transplant failure. The organ slowly loses its function and symptoms start to appear. This type of rejection cannot be effectively treated with medicines. Some people may need another transplant.
Possible Complications
- Certain cancers (in some people who take strong immune-suppressing drugs for a long time)
- Infections (because the person's immune system is suppressed by taking immune-suppressing medications)
- Loss of function in the transplanted organ/tissue
- Side effects of medicines, which may be severe
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if the transplanted organ or tissue does not seem to be working properly, or if other symptoms occur. Also, call your health care provider if you have side effectsfrom medicines you are taking.
ABO blood typing and HLA (tissue antigen) typing before a transplant helps ensure a close match.
You will likely need to take medicine to suppress your immune system for the rest of your life to prevent the tissue from being rejected.
Being careful about taking your post-transplant medicines and being closely watched by your doctor may help prevent rejection.

Beavers Clinch Pac-12 Baseball Title
Andrew Moore pitched his second consecutive complete game shutout and Dylan Davis homered and drove in all four runs as Oregon State beat Washington State 4-0 to clinch at least a share of the Pac-12 baseball championship.
Davis singled in a run in the first and blasted a 3-run homer in the seventh to account for all of the game's scoring.
Moore, the reigning Pac-12 Pitcher of the Week after blanking Oregon on two hits a week ago, shutout the Cougars on six hits. He struck out seven. Moore improved to 12-1 for the year while lowering his ERA to 1.22.
A record crowd of 3417 saw the Beavers (44-10, 23-6) clinch their first Pac-12 baseball title since 2006. They will earn the title outright if Oregon loses either this afternoon or tomorrow at Utah or if OSU beats WSU in the regular-season finale tomorrow afternoon in Corvallis.
Game time Sunday is 12:05 p.m. Radio coverage begins on Fox Sports Radio 620 at 11:30 a.m.
For the first time since the Conference became the Pac-8 in 1968, Oregon State earned conference championships in three sports. OSU also won Pac-12 titles in gymnastics and wrestling.

"His penis looked like Mike #1's, which made me nostalgic for high school…"
Want to catalog your sex life for Nerve? Send your complete list of bedpost notches, along with your age and location, to email@example.com. Don't worry — we won't print your name.
We met on our high-school robotics team and were each others firsts for just about everything. Our sex was pretty vanilla, aside from a few times when we filmed it on our flip-phones. We talked about trying anal, but never did. He was my first love, but we broke up when I moved across the country for college.
String of Anonymous Fraternity Brothers
I naively thought that sleeping my way around my new preppy liberal arts school would ease the pain of breaking up with Quentin. The only thing I remember about these drunken hookups is that they happened frequently and with people whose dance moves I was more familiar with than their names.
Miguel was another one-night stand, but notable because the lock on his dorm room was broken, so every few minutes someone would walk by and swing it open for all to see. While I definitely had an "…is it in yet?" moment, I faked pleasure because if everyone was going to watch, I wanted to put on a good show. It's amazing I didn't get a lasting reputation after that night.
Ryan was hung, but he lacked the skills that should accompany such a weapon, and accidentally harpooned me in the ass while he screwed me from behind. It hurt so badly that it brought tears to my eyes and I was afraid to poop for a couple of days.
Paul was a staunch Republican complete with an American flag tattooed on his shoulder. Despite the fact that we were complete opposites, our sex was awesome. He had a big, banana-shaped cock that would nail me right in the G-spot over and over.
Paul #2
Big man, tiny penis. The day after I met Paul #2 I told my mom I thought I might marry him. Then his a capella group serenaded me in the dining hall and I called my mom back to tell her I was wrong.
Rob and I met at my cousin's wedding the summer after my freshman year. He had the biggest cock I'd ever seen (a record he still holds). It was almost scary. We fucked doggy-style in the back of his parents' van, which left bad rug burns on my knees that got infected and left scars. I was glad I didn't go to the brunch the next morning, because I learned years later that people had seen us from the balcony.
Back for the summer, replete with my newfound sexual freedom, Taylor was one of two fuck buddies I kept on speed-dial. He was my first real foray into kinky sex. Our most memorable moment was when my best friend walked in on us having anal sex while we watched the 2006 World Cup Finals.
My other fuck buddy that summer. We mostly got stoned and had sex in the basement of his parents' house. His penis had a mushroom head, which was a lot of fun to play with.
Harry and I share the same birthday and decided to have sex during our joint birthday party, because… why not? Sadly, he had whiskey dick and I got bored and went back to the party.
The bartender at a ski resort in South America. We had sex on the floor of the restaurant where he worked after it closed. The foreplay lasted so long that I had to beg him to finally start having sex with me, which was a pleasant change of course from the drunken sex I had been having with the residents of Frat Row.
The first time we had sex, Felipe told me he was surprised that I didn't wait until I was married, and for some unknown reason, I kept sleeping with him. The combination of his extreme jealousy and complete lack of personal hygiene were dealbreakers in the end.
Mike #2
Mike and I dated for the last couple months of his senior year. I was head-over-heels for him but he was a commitment-phobe who also couldn't keep it up.
Nick was a friend-of-a-friend who showed me around New York while I was interning there for the summer. The sex was mediocre and he was weird about it afterwards. He was the only Asian I've ever slept with.
Mark and I started hooking up after a friend told me that he loved eating girls out. He wore bandanas and had a long beard, which he wore braided, with plastic beads on the end. I would sneak off to his room in the morning and he would make us tea and then go down on me for hours on end. We never had sex but his amazing tongue deserves some recognition.
Nizar was sitting behind me on my red-eye flight to London, where I spent the summer interning. It was right when Lost was really popular and he was a sexy Sayid look-alike. After many mini-bottles of wine I ended my long dry spell by joining the Mile-High Club with him in the bathroom. The sex was really fun, but a day later I woke up with a UTI and learned first-hand the benefits of England's National Health Service.
Jamie was my insta-boyfriend during my summer in London and was the first person to make me come during sex. Thanks to him I will forever have a preference for men who are uncircumcised.
Nizar (again)
The fall after I came back from London I went down to NYC to spend a night with Nizar, hoping for more adventurous sex like what we had had at thirty-five thousand feet. Despite the fact that we had talked about getting it on in various public places, he sequestered me in his crappy apartment in Midtown and treated me like an object. I didn't trust him; and I grabbed my things and left while he was in the bathroom.
Quentin (again)
Quentin and I ran into each other while skiing over Thanksgiving break. We hadn't spoken in a few years but the sexual tension was running high. After the holidays, he came to visit me back East at school and let me peg him in the shower while my roommates made dinner down the hall.
Jim was Catholic and a virgin. I broke it off when I realized the only reason I was dating him was the challenge of taking his v-card.
We had sex while I was rolling and he made so many weird faces that I thought it was his first time. When I asked about it later he told me that he had been tripping on mushrooms, which accounted for the weird facial expressions and lackluster performance.
We met via Craigslist while I was looking for a room to rent in Boston after graduation. I didn't end up renting a room in his apartment, but we spent quite a few nights together regardless. The sex was awesome and fairly kinky (he liked feet), but we kept it a secret because he was on-again-off-again with his crazy girlfriend.
Matt was Parker's roommate. In hindsight, it's a good thing I didn't move into their apartment.
Alessandro was a sexy Italian guy a friend brought to one of my roof deck parties. He wanted to eat ice cream off my body and I obliged, but he chose pistachio, which had chunks of nuts in it. I vividly remember him kneeling between my legs, stopping every once and a while to chew the nuts he was lapping up from between my legs. Gross.
Abdul and I met at the birthday party for a guy I had recently started dating. He had a huge dick but didn't know it, which was an absolute gold mine. He ate pussy like a champ and we spent most of the summer getting stoned and having sex on my roof deck. He let me take a picture of his dick that I keep on my phone.
He was sexy but had OCD tendencies and sex made him nervous. When we decided to call it quits, we had sex one last time and I got my period by surprise and bled all over his sheets. Whoops. Inside, though, I thought this was hilarious; a nice "fuck you" from my vagina.
Eric was my most serious relationship to date. I was in love with him, which led to many mind-blowing I-love-you-gasms, but the sex was very vanilla. I think he was terrified of buttholes, which sucked because I have tend to have a thing for them.
Guillaume was a cocky French hipster I met at my favorite dive bar a few weeks after my breakup with Eric. We danced to Talking Heads and The Smiths and I perched on a handrail outside and made out with him while he smoked a cigarette. His penis looked like Mike #1's, which made me nostalgic for high school, but the sex was lousy so I faked an orgasm and left in the middle of the night while he snored like a freight train.
Noah was the official rebound after my breakup with Eric but turned out to still be in college. We hooked up for a bit, but he jackhammered too much for my taste and I was too lazy to show him what I liked.
Things with Luke were too good to be true: He was gorgeous and I was completely smitten with him, but he was another virgin, more religious than the first, and was actively searching for a wife. I did enjoy the frottage briefly, but filled the penis-in-vagina void by sleeping with other people.
He had recently quit his second job to be in a second band, and I thought that I could have the best of both worlds by sleeping with Tim and spending time with Luke. In practice this just made me feel like a shitty person, so I ended things with both of them the day before I left for Burning Man.

Blogger Stephanie Singer meets up with Marshall Green, executive chef of the new Jerry's Bar and previous owner of the former Northern Liberties bruncherie Café Estelle.
I went to the newest spot in my neighborhood, Jerry's Bar, one afternoon to meet with executive chef Marshall Green, perhaps best known for his previous stint as owner of Northern Liberties bruncherie Café Estelle (which I was so sad to see close).
Green is nothing if not a multitasker — our conversation took place in the restaurant's basement kitchen while he continued to make fresh bowtie pasta for his Chicken and Bowties dish, which he describes as a "deconstructed chicken soup."
The 32-year-old Green, a Glenside native and Abington Friends alum who has been cooking in Philadelphia kitchens since 2001, has unpacked some favorites from his time at the helm of Cafe Estelle — stuffed French toast, pancakes, house-made gravlax, shirred eggs and the like. "People would bump into me on the street and tell me that they were going through withdrawal from my gravlax!" exclaimed Green, who took an almost yearlong sabbatical from the business to, in his words, "go fishing" after failed lease negotiations left him no choice but to shutter Cafe Estelle. "That's what I wanted to offer at Jerry's — everything that I have."
Smoked salmon is but one of the Jewish influences to be found on the menu at Jerry's. Green, who wistfully remarks that the smell of brisket and matzah ball soup reminds him of his grandmother, said that "we'll have fun with specials as far as holidays go, but we will definitely be keeping it seasonal."
"I source my food as locally and high quality as possible." Green continued, "A lot of the standards on the menu will remain the same, and I'll add the seasonality to the specials menu, which will change weekly." Some examples: housemade pierogi, seasonal potato gnocchi and steak frites.
Green's resumé is full of well-known Philadelphia locations such as Fork, Django, Ansill and Meritage, which makes his choice to work at the new Jerry's Bar deliberate and intentional. "It's a nice place to come to work." He has no ownership stake in Jerry's Bar, but that doesn't stop him from approaching his job with a proprietorial interest, attending managers' meetings to share the knowledge that he has learned through his experience. "I'm working with a very talented team of people," Green explained.
Green is also excited to contribute to the growing number of dining destinations in Northern Liberties. "There are so many places with really good food —Standard Tap, Silk City, Bar Ferdinand —just to name a few."
Now, he's adding Jerry's Bar to that list.

Hank and Kendra have two kids, one of which was born just a month ago. Publicly they have tried to show that things are good, but inside the relationship things have not been great for the past year or so. Kendra is not as popular as she once was and does not command the same appearance fees she used to and when she was pregnant she worked less and Hank barely makes any money and maybe this is their way of getting an extra season of their reality show ala Tori and Dean.

Is there a software / tool that can help me boost my facebook likes and twitter followers?
Hi Charles, why do you need such softwares and tools? They will get you the numbers but they will not interact with all the content or tweets that you are going to publish. If you run a business, these likes and followers will never convert into leads or sales too.
As I know social media is a good way of boosting a certain websites.
Well said and let's not forget that networks like Facebook use engagement rates to derive post visibility thus the less response you get, the fewer people see your posts.
Just try to Google it.
Boost in what's case? And the automatic tools won't work at all, if you look for real conversion of social media campaign.
I mean gain more likes.
Charles through software you can increase your facebook likes and twitter followers but they are just increase your number of likes and number of followers and cannot be involve into your post or other activities which you post on your social networks. so it's better not to take a help from this kind of things just make your social network more stronger with interactive users. Rest if you want to increase for facebook like and twitter followers then your can use twiends[dot]com famous site to gain more followers on daily basis.
have fun
Don't use software! Focus on updating content everyday and working on making it relevant and interesting. If you stay on top of your FB and twitter accounts on a daily basis, the followers will increase drastically. Also, for twitter, try using twiends, klout, twittercount or any other social influencer for twitter.
Seems we have been over this ground again and again in this forum. Software is not going to help you get genuine 'likes'. I assume you want the 'likes' so that you can tout your popularity on your website. However, adding fake numbers is not going to help your credibility with your visitors. What will help your credibility and, as a result, increase your website visits and sales is the honest representation of your business through the content of your website and the posts you make on Facebook, Twitter, etc.
If you are adding 'likes' to your web pages in order to get your visitors to look at your Social Media page, then, in my opinion, you are doing things backwards. After all, if you had an offline business, would you tell your customers to go home and look at your TV or newspaper ad?
The best use of Social Media for business is to network to become more visible to a wider range of those in your market. There again, you don't do that through generating 'likes' where there are none. Moreover, 'likes' you get mean very little to your customers. On the other hand, the 'likes' you give can make a potential customer take another look at you and your business. However, much more important are the comments you make and the media you share. Those are the strategies that get you noticed on Social Media and help to create a genuine following for your business.
Thanks for the good advice shyflower, I just really thought that gaining more likes in Fb and more share in twitter could help my business looks more interesting to people
They will if they are genuine, but your smartest and best customers will be able to tell if they are fake and they won't click like just because it looks like someone else already did.
Until they realize there's no conversation, no value, no validation. A number without activity is practically useless.. indicative of a business that's so far off the mark they have a number that is leading to nothing.
And don't forget... the vast majority of social interaction happens in the feed. Few people make it to the page, or back to it, to see your numbers anyways.
if it's natural, it's better! So just try to contact your friends in Facebook to like your page.
Adding links manually on social media sites will work but i don't think using some tools to do it will work.Also you have to interact with people and build a strong network there.Try doing SMM,it will help.
You must be active on FB and Twitter to increase followers and friends. And also don't forget to add relevant followers and friends. Then they follow back to you.
Your Brain. Use it to generate interesting content and then you gain more likes and followers
I think your brain is more "hardware" than software.
Rephrase: Mind Power
Hi there,
You don't need to use any tool because all are spam and bots. Which are decreasing after some time so it is wastage of time. If you wan to organic fb likes and twitter followers then you need to do smo in an effective way or you can hire someone for this work. One of such service I worked with is smobuddy.com, those guys are did a wonderful job for me. Social Bookmarking are the best source for getting more traffic and make it your content, business more user friendly in genuine way and helps in increasing online presence.hope this info helps you.
Likesbay is best website to increase the followers and likes Facebook, Twitter, Google plus and YouTube promotion easily to promote the business.

The German Program has a new website as of July 12, 2017! Visit http://uwm.edu/german/.
The German Program offers a wide range of language, literature, and civilization courses. During any semester, you'll find courses on German literature, civilization and culture, linguistics, German for professional purposes (e.g., Business German), and beginning, intermediate, and advanced language and composition and conversation courses. The Program is made up of faculty members with varied areas of teaching and research interests, including linguistics, literature, culture, film, and pedagogy.
Where to Start
Students who have never taken German should begin their study of language with German 101. Students who have previously studied German may begin at a more advanced level. Results of a university-administered test determine advanced placement. It's possible to receive up to 14 retroactive credits of German if, after being placed in a course because of your previous work in the language, you pass it with a grade of B or better.
Undergraduate study includes:
German Major
The German program offers a major in German that allows the student to concentrate in his/her area of interest: literature, philology, culture, or business.
The major requires a minimum of 30 credits in courses numbered 300 or above, at least 18 of them taken in residence at UWM. Not more than 9 credits per semester will be accepted from study abroad. Required are German 331, 332(426), 333 and 334; four additional courses on the 300 to 500-level (that are taught in German); and two courses on the 600-level. All majors are required to take an advanced language proficiency exam, normally during the semester in which they complete 18 credits in the major.
German majors are eligible for Honors in the major if they have at least a 3.0 cumulative GPA in all UWM graded credits attempted, at least a 3.50 GPA in all credits attempted which count toward the major, and at least a 3.50 GPA in all advanced credits which count toward the German major.
German Minor, Minor in Business German
The minor in German requires a minimum of 21 credits in courses numbered 300 or above, at least 9 of them taken in residence at UWM. Four courses on the 300 level are required: German 331, 332(426), 333, and 334. Students must complete 9 additional credits by selecting courses from the 300 to 600-level. The College requires that students attain at least a 2.5 GPA on all credits in the minor attempted at UWM. In addition, students must attain a 2.5 GPA on all minor credits attempted, including transfer work.
The business German minor consists of a minimum of 18 credits taken in one of two tracks. The curriculum includes courses in business administration for non-business students and courses in the practical and professional use of the German language as well as understanding of German culture for all students. Substitutions for some course requirements are possible and may include internships with firms doing business in German-speaking countries.
For more detailed information about the German major and minor, consult the German Program in the Undergraduate Catalog.
Teaching Majors and Minors
A maximum of 27 credits in German courses beyond the second year is required for the teaching major. The 27 credits must include the following: 12 credits in literature courses; 9 credits in advanced language courses; one course each in German cultural history and phonetics. In addition, the Program strongly recommends that, in consultation with the Program advisor, the student take at least 6 credits in related courses outside the Program.
For certification to teach in secondary schools, the teaching minor, this minor can be taken only in conjunction with a language major. The following minimum of 15 credits of German courses beyond the second-year level is required: 6 credits in literature courses, 6 credits in advanced language courses, and one German cultural history course.
If you've already earned a bachelor's degree and wish to become certified in German, consult the School of Education's website about post-baccalaureate teacher certification.

We explore... and you call us criminals. We seek after knowledge... and you call us criminals. We exist without skin color, without nationality, without religious bias... and you call us criminals. You build atomic bombs, you wage wars, you murder, cheat, and lie to us and try to make us believe it's for our own good, yet we're the criminals.

People who struggle with depression are often misunderstood by the people around them. Often times people think they should just "snap out of it". What many don't understand is that depression can be a scary, debilitating illness that takes over a person's life. While depression can be situational or chronic, there are tools, strategies and medicines which are very effective in managing its effects. Clients can benefit by having a therapist that is patient and understanding who can both empathize with how they are feeling and offer ways for the person to take back control of his or her life. In a collaborative way, I work with clients to develop a treatment plan which gives them hope.

So I have two seasons under my belt with the Blog. It's got enough camber to cruise around on groomers, enough rocker to float in soft snow. It's forgiving enough that if your not a strong skier you will still have a great time on it. It's softer than the Bent Chetler or the Automatic but it works to it's advantage making it more playful when it hasn't snowed in a bit. It's great in spring slush and I have used it in the park as well. The 185 length is long enough to be stable but still fun. I'm 5'8 around 150 lbs and mount mine at the Team mark for all around versatility. If you are looking for a ski to really charge on you'll probably be happier on the Automatic. The Blog is more playful at slower speeds and can be used for more freestyle intentions like the Bent Chetler. It has a similar sidecut radius to Chris's ski but seems softer out in the tip and tail. The two are great compliments to each other or the Blog can stand alone with it's versatility. If it hasn't snowed I like it because it has less rocker and matching taper in the tip and tail so when you need it for chasing down the last remaining powder stashes, you can have confidence the edge is there and will hold as you get around the mountain.I haven't done it but I think touring on this would be awesome. I think it's a good width, it's super light weight, the taper makes it surfer. I think the one hesitation I would have with touring on the Blog is the flex pattern maybe being too soft in the tail when you may come into unexpected variable conditions with high speed you might waiver a bit.I would totally recommend for the intermediate/advanced skier all the way up to an expert.

Quick & nimble, easy to maneuver in the bumps. Felt light on my feet in a 185. Would make a nice soft snow, groomer ski. Flotation was not quite up to the 12-15" of heavy fresh we encountered in the afternoon.

Dr. Pow Shred: Oh How I learned to Stop

Comments about Atomic Blog Skis 2013:
While it took me a run or two to find my center, I had a great time riding deep pow on the Blog. It didn't float as well as I hoped on the really deep, heavy, untracked snow while demoing it but if you open it up and lean back it will float over anything.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Versatility at its best
By Josh the Ski Bum
from Breckenridge, CO
The Blog could be one of the funniest names for a ski, yet tears the mountain with joking. This ski performs excellently through the trees, on crud, and in the backcountry bowls. I have taken this thing to the top of Breck (13000+ft elevation), skied the groomers, and busted some moves in the park. These guys are lighter than my K2 Recoils (jib, all-mountain ski), yet phat enough for the sheer dominance and flotation of the whole mountain. My friend, owner of Armada JJ's, loves this ski almost as much as his JJ's. Almost. Atomic continues to develop some great product here with the Blog. I've skied most every type of ski, and couldn't be happier with this one.

Great all mtn ski. Skis the deep and the steep with ease. I struggled a little bit in the really deep snow but back on the hard pack the ski railed edge to edge. I also like the amount of rocker in the tip.

177 Blog Demo
By David
If the 183 Bent Chetlers are surfy and turny , these are too much. Really sensative ski. If your weight is a little off, you spin out. Didn't float as well either. Could have been because it was the end of the day so I was weaker and tired.
By Matt
Nice all around ski for intermediate skiers. More advanced skiers might want something a little sexier. Cuts trough crud and powder well.

Atomic's Blog is a big 'ol banana of a ski with tons of rocker and very little camber. That said, the Blogs are a geared to toward a singular environment, powder, powder and, yup, powder. Float with ease on the these but be aware of your speed on the groomers as some excessive chattering can ensue as you turn on the jets. The sticks give new meaning to flotation.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I got these skis just in time for the 2+ feet of snow and they were some fat fun! I telemark and have my ntn set-up on them and so far so good. I have not used them much on hardpack/bumps/etc but have a feeling they might be ok as they seem to be quick to turn. Great price and happy with purchase, THANKS Evo!!

This is an amazing ski! I highly recommend, it is great for all mountain and powder skiing. The graphics are really cool and they don't get banged up. perfect for center mounting if you are looking to ski backward also. outstanding everywhere on the mountain and floats through the POW! 5 out of 5.

Perfect AT skis
By Cansnowplow
from JAY PEAK vt
About Me Professional
I set my mid boot line for mounting bindings on the furthest dash back, on the rear of ski. I found if you sit way back on tails, the tails will cause you to rare up like a stallion horse. In this rear binding setting, when in powder, you can stand neutral and float sweetly. Leaning forward in 48" fresh powder will submerge about 18". Champaigne powder even deeper. Knee deep powder and you'll be able to see your boots.Packed powder on-piste trails are a skier's dream on the Blogs. I equate it to having a cheat sheet when taking a test. The sweet spot allows you to come in and out of fresh powder to packed powder without even feeling the least flinch. Crud and corn snow are sooo simple on these skis. I did find the tips chattering when speeding on cruisers.
The Blog Rips
By PJA
from Killington Vt
Bought these for travel skis on a recommendation. Took them out on Killington vt hard pack to check them out. Have now skied them multiple days on true vt hard pack and they are bomber. 5 9 and 170 bought the 185. Have not found the speed limit on these and just love to be pointed Getting strange looks on the chair skiing such huge boards on bulletproof and even better looks as these skis rip huge arcs down the groomed steeps. Can't wait to ski these on western snow. Almost bought the Nordica helldorados but did not want the metal. Have faith. These are game on. Buy them long.

Help with arrows
Well I've been looking to get into hunting for a while. After debating wether I should get a gun or a bow, I got a bow, just because it seems like it would be more of a challenge. Plus there's an indoor archery range about 3 blocks from my house. I bought a Bear Outbreak, 70 lb for my first bow. The dude sold me some arrows, but I never really bothered to ask him anything about the arrows. After doing a little research I've now found out there is a lot more to arrows than I thought.
I was wondering if anyone could give me a quick run down on the arrows. I know the names of the different parts of the arrows and thats about it. If Im currently shooting 60 LBs on my bow @ 29" draw, then what arrow length/weight should i shoot? And how do I figure these things out myself?
Also, what does "Dia .300": Spine .487"" mean, and how do I figure those things out as well?
The current arrows I have are easton carbon powerflights. It says 400 8.4gpi on the side.
1 more thing is how do I know what kind of cams I have on my bow? Hard, medium, soft?
Last edited by Konovoloff; 04-19-2012 at 01:42 AM.
5gr per lb of draw weight is the minimum and I like 6-7gr per lb on a hunting arrow. Any newer bow should be considered as a hard cam. 400 size is the correct size for a 29" arrow and 60# (assuming a 100gr point) Most people choose a length so that it is 1" beyond the rest when you are drawn. I like it a little longer than that. Shaft diameter is important to 3D shooter who want the very slight edge a fatter shaft gives them for cutting a scoring line; for the hunter - who cares.Bear Grizzly, Beman Centershot/Steelforce , Legacy Quiver

So if I went into an archery shop and said "I need a 29" arrow at 350 grains" they wouldnt look at me like im retarded? And on the easton chart on their site, it says "size" in one column, and it says 400, 350, 1200, etc. Whats that the size of? And why dont they have the actual measurement of the arrow anywhere in there
No, they won't be able to give you a weight. You order by size (400, 500 etc), length and what you want for fletchings Duravanes, Blazers etc. The size is selected by draw weight, arrow length, point weight etc so the spline of the arrow is correct. Actual arrow weight will have to be calculated by adding up everything. point, nock etc.; that's why they give you a gpi for the shaft - ie 6.5gpi and a 28.5" shaft = 185.25gr for the shaft.

The arrow's spine number (300, 340, 400, 500, etc . . .) simply means that when the arrow is placed in a testing device supported at two points 26 inches apart, and a 2 lb weight is applied to the midpoint of the arrow shaft, the amount of deflection as measured in thousandths of an inch is the arrow's spine rating. So if an arrow deflects .400", it's a 400 spine weight arrow. GPI is "Grains Per Inch". Your Easton Power Flights weigh 8.4 grains per inch. There are about 15.5 grains in a gram. The less deflection (lower number), the "stiffer" the arrow.
That is called a static rating. In a dynamic environment (arrow actually being shot from a bow) two other factors come into play. the weight of the arrow point, and the amount of force pushing the arrow (draw weight and to a lesser extent cam "aggressiveness"). If there is a heavy weight up front, and a lot of energy pushing the arrow, it will flex more as it comes off the bow than an arrow with a light point and less energy.
So, how do you order an arrow using the Easton arrow size chart?
First figure out how long your arrow need to be. This is necessary because the dynamic spine of an arrow will change with it's overall length (with alike points - a longer arrow will flex more than a shorter arrow). Get a helper with a Sharpie marker and have him/her mark where on your arrow touches the arrow rest when you are at full draw. Measure from the nock groove to the mark. Add 1" to this number. Let's say you got 27.5" at the mark, add an inch and you're at 28.5".
Next, figure out what cam you have. In my opinion, this doesn't make a huge difference. Very few hunting bows have soft cams, consider yours Medium or Hard. On the Easton chart, beneath the Cam selection, they list a range of bow speeds. Look up your bow's IBO speed and see if it falls into the "Hard" or "Medium" range. I'd guess yours is a "Hard" cam. Now go to the Easton Target Chart (or Hunting Chart, but for this example I'm using the Target Chart). Under the Hard Cam column, move down until you get to the 55-60 lbs row or the 60-65 lbs (I'd use the 60-65 lbs range as your bow is probably 60-70 lbs draw weight range). Now, move across until you get to the column under the arrow length (in this example 28.5"). It says "T10".
Now find the Group T10 arrow list and that will give you a range of Easton arrows which will be properly spined for you bow. Keep in mind that this is a range with the "weakest" arrows at the top of the list, and the "stiffest" arrows at the bottom (they are also separated with carbon on top and aluminum at the bottom). The arrows followed by the letter "R" are recommendations for recurve bows.
From the chart, 380-440 spine is correct. Easton breaks it down by their arrow line-up, so you'll need to decode which Easton arrow is listed. Their economy arrows aren't listed, so your Power Flight's aren't listed specifically, so just go by the generic 380-440 range. Your 400 Power Flight's are right down the middle.
As you get more experience, you can experiment with changing how an arrow tunes by changing point weight, or arrow length. It may take some pondering before the relationship between static arrow spine rating and dynamic factors such as point weight/arrow length/draw weight become clear.

Easton Shaft Selector
Here's another option, Easton now has an on-line shaft selector program.
Enter your data and it'll make a recommendation.
and don't forget that the longer the arrow, the more spine you will need. Most recomendations are for a 29" arrow length. I personally use a 32" arrow with my 30 inch draw length which means I go up one level in spine from the recomended. It is also better to err to the stiff side as they will fly better for you than an arrow that is too soft in the spine.

Perimeters of pans always tend to bake faster than the center due to heat conduction between the pan and the cake edges; the trick is to get the center baked before the edges burn! Ovens do vary so I would recommend using an oven thermometer (even for a new oven!) to check the temperature accuracy of your ovens. Also glass pans get hotter than metal pans. When baking with glass, reduce the oven temperature 25 degrees from the temperature indicated on the recipe. That should help!

Chase Headley said Tuesday that he is suffering "more disappointment than pain."
The third baseman confirmed that doctors have told him he will be out from four to six weeks with the fracture to the tip of his thumb on his left hand.
"As far as injuries go, this is as good as it could be regarding a fracture," Headley said shortly after arriving back at the Padres spring training complex Tuesday morning.
"The fracture is all the way through but in place and above the ligaments and tendons at the tip of the thumb. There is no damage to the tendons or the ligaments. It's sore, it doesn't feel great."
Headley could spend the first month of the season on the disabled list.
"Being on the disabled list is not fun for anybody," said Headley, who prides himself on playing every day. "But it is part of the game and you have to deal with it. I've always been fortunate to be healthy."
Headley made 159 starts at third for the Padres last season and totally missed only one game. He played in 156 or more games in three of his first four full seasons in the major leagues and the only other time he was on the disabled list was near the end of the 2011 season when he missed 41 games with a fracture of the little finger on the same hand.
That 2011 injury made Headley believe this injury was more serious than the jammed thumb that was originally diagnosed when he hurt his thumb sliding feet-first into second Sunday in an attempt to break up a double play against the Angels.
"When it happened, I thought there was a chance it was something significant," said Headley. "The pain was greater than the fracture to the finger. I went out in the field in the bottom of the first hoping the pain would go away. As the inning went on, it grew worse."
The diagnosis of a fracture was made Monday by Dr. Lorenzo Pacelli at the Scripps Clinic in La Jolla.
Headley said they will be taking X-rays of the thumb each week. "There's not a lot of rehab stuff for a broken bone."
Stults strengthens bid
Left-hander Eric Stults moved closer to securing a spot in the rotation Tuesday by allowing Arizona two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out two at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick.
"Stults was Stults," said Padres manager Bud Black. "Four pitches to both sides of the plate. A nice mix and changes in velocity. That is Stults' game."
Stults also hit a two-run, two-out single in the Padres four-run fifth that led the Padres to a 6-2 win. Yonder Alonzo also hit his third homer of the spring for the Padres. It was his third homer in the last six games.
"Yonder is starting to find his range," said Black. "He's getting better at-bats although he is still expanding the zone."
Padres notes
--Padres right-hander Edinson Volquez was the winning pitcher Monday night as the Dominican Republic defeated The Netherlands in the first semifinal of the World Baseball Classic. Volquez allowed a run on two hits and two walks with five strikeouts in five innings, although he walked the first two hitters he faced and gave up the run in the first without allowing a hit. He threw 78 pitches. In three WBC starts, Volquez was 1-0 and allowed five runs on five hits and six walks in 10 1/3 innings while striking out nine.
--Right-handed reliever Nick Vincent also returned to the Padres training camp Tuesday after having his right wrist examined by Dr. Pacelli on Monday in San Diego. Vincent said the examination showed he had two inflamed tendons in his forearm. He is expected to start throwing Wednesday, but said he's "back to square one" in his spring training work.
--Infielder Logan Forsythe, who looks to be the Padres' Opening Day third baseman if he is healthy, could be back in the Padres lineup as soon as Friday according to Black. Forsythe has been sidelined since March 7 with plantar fasciitis in his right foot.

Jenkins didn't want to leave Green Bay when he signed a five-year, $30 million contract with the Eagles in 2011 and he could be back in 2013. A source, pointing to Jenkins having turned 32, said the Packers likely would consider a reunion as long as a deal is on its terms.
The Packers never adequately replaced Jenkins when he left two seasons ago, though Mike Neal flashed some promising production this past season. With the Week 17 ACL tear sustained by second-round pick Jerel Worthy leaving his availability for the first half of the season in jeopardy, the Packers have a need for an interior pass rusher.
Jenkins started every game the last two seasons. He was due to make $5.5 million this season, but rebuilding Philadelphia cut Jenkins. After spending the first seven seasons of his NFL career with Green Bay, Jenkins left for Philadelphia.
Jenkins had 5.5 sacks in 2011 and four in 2012. He had 29 sacks and five forced fumbles in seven seasons in Green Bay, including 6.5 sacks in 2006, and 7.0 in 2010, when he was a mainstay on a championship defense that ranked second in points allowed.
"It's one of the most difficult parts of the job. He has been a very productive player in this league for a long time," Roseman said of Jenkins. "By releasing him at this point, it gives he and his agent more time to sign on with another team."
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
I am having the same problem, except I'm using Live DVDs. I've tried KDE 64 twice, GNOME 64 twice, and KDE 32 once; all with fresh downloads. They all get to 99% then give me the (Errno 5) I/O Error saying my drive or disk is messed up. I checked my md5sum on each and they all matched. I only downloaded from backtrack-linux.org. I also checked through the FAQs but didn't see anything relevant there. Does anyone have another suggestion?

Grant County
Marion, the county seat of Grant County was settled in 1826; it was organized in 1831. The original inhabitants of the area were the Miami Indians, but several battles and treaty negotiations ceded much of the land to the American government. Grant County has a strong Quaker history, who came in the 1820s and 1830s, drawn by the rich, fertile farmland. Natural gas was found in the county in 1887, stimulating growth, but this gas boom did not last for more than a decade. While there are several larger communities in Grant County (Converse, Fairmount, Fowlerton, Gas City, Jonesboro, Marion, Matthews, Swayzee, Sweetser, Upland and Van Buren), it was the city of Marion that attracted the majority of the Jewish population; a small community flourished in Gas City.

Glenda Williams has been the director of the Long Beach Public Library since 2009.
Question: Have you read "Fifty Shades of Grey"?
Answer: No, I have not read it.
Q: Good. Don't. What's on your nightstand now? I mean, in terms of books.
A: A couple of books I haven't gotten around to yet. Uwen Akpan's "Say You're One of Them," a collection of stories about children in Nigeria, and Thomas Friedman's "The World Is Flat."
Q: I read "Say You're One of Them." It was crushing. I had to read a bunch of cheesy detective novels afterward just to get over it.
A: Well, I'm looking forward to reading it.
Q: The first book I read was "Tip," an epic 20-page story about a good dog. What was your first book?
A: I don't remember my very first book, but my earliest favorite was "Put Me in the Zoo" by Robert Lopshire, from the Dr. Seuss Beginning Reader series.
Q: Were you born in Long Beach?
A: No, but I grew up here. We moved here when I was 8. I was in third grade at Whittier Elementary and my teacher was Mrs. Patterson, one of the best teachers ever. In fourth grade I went to College Intermediate School, which is now a parking lot at the Pacific Coast Campus of Long Beach City College. Then Hoover Junior High, then Lakewood, which was my home school, but I went to Poly's PACE program in the morning, then took the bus out to Lakewood. I graduated from Lakewood.
Q: How is the library looking, financially, for the next fiscal year?
A: Not great. The preliminary budget is still in the City Manager's Office, then it goes to the mayor around July 1 and around August it goes to the City Council. We're looking at two options. If the fire and police departments participate in the budget cuts, we will have to trim about $1million from our budget. If they don't participate, we'll have to cut about $2million.
Q: So, are you looking at closures, reduction of hours, layoffs?
A: I'd guess that everything's on the table. You have to think of certain scenarios. We're still trying to wrap our minds around it. It will be serious but we will do the best we can for the citizens of Long Beach.
Q: What's the future for libraries? Will they even be around in a couple of decades? Asked the guy who works for a newspaper ...
A: They'll still be gathering places for community. They'll become more like places where people will create, with recording studios and equipment they can use to make movies and videos. There's still a need for people to actually talk to people, having authors and experts come in to talk to people. We recently had Christopher Phillips, the author of "The Constitution Cafe," who talked in the Main Library's auditorium about how we would write the Constitution if we wrote it today. How would we do it?
It was a heated and lively discussion. And just like the original framers, people couldn't agree.
Q: But what about books, which is what I think of when I think of libraries?
A: Maybe there will be fewer books on the shelf. Will they disappear? I don't think so. Technology is very important, but I don't think one will drive the other all the way out. Computers will be a vital component. There are a lot of people who still don't have access to them. We have a lot of computer usage at the library. We had over 307,000 computer sessions last fiscal year - we have more than 200 computers in our 12 locations and we still can't meet the demand. And you're seeing some things going totally electronic, the big self-published wave that has been booming in the last couple of years. We bring in more downloadable material. Music, audiobooks.
We still have audiobooks on CD and even cassette.
Q: Have you ever not worked at a library?
A: I've worked for the Long Beach Public Library all my life. My neighborhood library was Mark Twain. I grew up reading there and it was where I had my first job. I came on as a student worker. You had to be 13 to do that and you got paid. It allowed you to work five hours per day.
Then, later, I worked 10 hours a week when I was in high school. I applied to be an official employee, as a library page, in 1981, then I came up as a clerk, a general librarian, then department librarian then supervisor and manager, then acting director and now I'm director.
Q: What do you want me to ask you now?
A: The same thing you ask everyone. The dog-or-cat question.
Q: You're a librarian. It's gonna be cats.
A: No! Actually, as a child my parents got me a puppy, but it refused to be potty trained. So one day my dad took him for a ride and Dad came back without him. So we couldn't have pets after that.
Q: I had a pet duck once and my grandfather gave him to a tailor and he ate it.
A: That's terrible!
Q: Tell me about it.
A: It stays with you. I don't think I'll ever have a dog or cat. For one thing, my mother lives with me and she doesn't like dogs or cats.
Q: Have your dad take her for a ride.
A: No! She's the greatest. I just love her. Her name is Mary, she's about 4-feet-10 and as cute as can be. And everybody loves her. I'll take her to the mall and she'll sit on a bench and when I come back she'll be talking to people. I'll say, `Who was that, Mama?' and she'll say, `Honey, I don't know, they just started talking to me.'
Q: Given the way things are going with the budget, is there any reason for optimism?
A: In 2003 and 2004 and 2005 we had to do rolling closures. Then things got better in 2006 and we haven't had any rolling closures since. We ramped back up in '06 and '07. Then the recession hit and we've been going down.
It's always a roller coaster ride. But it was just four or five years ago when we were doing great. Those were golden years. It was awesome, and we're gonna get there again. I believe it's going to get better. I believe that.

GSA Receives Clean Audit Opinion
FY '09 Agency Financial Report Affirms Commitment to Accountability
WASHINGTON – Three days ahead of the governmentwide deadline, and again having earned an unqualified or "clean" audit opinion, the U.S. General Services Administration has submitted its fiscal year 2009 Agency Financial Report to the U.S. Department of Treasury and Office of Management and Budget.
"GSA's clean audit opinion is a testament to our commitment to managing taxpayer assets in a responsible and transparent manner," said GSA Acting Administrator Paul Prouty.
GSA's FY '09 audit report includes no material weakness in regard to GSA internal controls, and no instances of noncompliance with applicable laws and regulations. In addition to the audit report, the FY '09 Agency Financial Report provides information on GSA programs, achievements, challenges, and efforts to support the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
"We're thrilled to receive another clean opinion, with no material weaknesses," said Kathleen Turco, GSA Chief Financial Officer. "This audit demonstrates our continuing desire to ensure financial integrity in the business of government. We worked in partnership with GSA program and acquisition staff to ensure the proper use of our customers' funding."
A clean audit opinion is an indication that the agency's financial statements and accompanying notes are presented fairly in all material respects and conform to generally accepted accounting principles. It is also an indication that there are no material errors in the financial statements and accompanying notes, and is clean or free from material error.
"Achieving a clean audit opinion reflects GSA's dedication to financial management excellence, and provides an assurance to our federal customers that proper internal controls have been implemented to safeguard the accuracy of our balances," Turco added.
GSA's 2009 Agency Financial Report will be posted on GSA's Web site by Nov. 30, with past annual reports at http://www.gsa.gov/annualreport under the Performance and Accountability Report
# # #
Founded in 1949, GSA manages more than 11 percent of the government's total procurement dollars and $30 billion in federal assets, including 8,600 government-owned or leased buildings and 213,000 vehicles.
GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 480 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services.
GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and E-Gov travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.
Did you know? GSA manages 354 million square feet of space in 2100 communities.

Foreign Bodies
If you've ever gotten a splinter or had sand in your eye, you've had experience with a foreign body. A foreign body is something that is stuck inside you but isn't supposed to be there. You may inhale or swallow a foreign body, or you may get one from an injury to almost any part of your body. Foreign bodies are more common in small children, who sometimes stick things in their mouths, ears, and noses.
Some foreign bodies, like a small splinter, do not cause serious harm. Inhaled or swallowed foreign bodies may cause choking or bowel obstruction and may require medical care.

Leg Injuries and Disorders
Your legs are made up of bones, blood vessels, muscles, and other connective tissue. They are important for motion and standing. Playing sports, running, falling, or having an accident can damage your legs. Common leg injuries include sprains and strains, joint dislocations, and fractures.
These injuries can affect the entire leg, or just the foot, ankle, knee, or hip. Certain diseases also lead to leg problems. For example, knee osteoarthritis, common in older people, can cause pain and limited motion. Problems in your veins in your legs can lead to varicose veins or deep vein thrombosis.
- Blount disease
- Bowlegs
- Common peroneal nerve dysfunction
- Femoral nerve dysfunction
- Femur fracture repair - discharge
- Foot, leg, and ankle swelling
- Iliotibial band syndrome -- aftercare
- Ischemic ulcers -- self-care
- Knock knees
- Leg pain
- Shin splints - self-care
- Tibial nerve dysfunction
- Venous insufficiency

Wounds and Injuries
Also called: Traumatic injuries
An injury is damage to your body. It is a general term that refers to harm caused by accidents, falls, hits, weapons, and more. In the U.S., millions of people injure themselves every year. These injuries range from minor to life-threatening. Injuries can happen at work or play, indoors or outdoors, driving a car, or walking across the street.
Wounds are injuries that break the skin or other body tissues. They include cuts, scrapes, scratches, and punctured skin. They often happen because of an accident, but surgery, sutures, and stitches also cause wounds. Minor wounds usually aren't serious, but it is important to clean them. Serious and infected wounds may require first aid followed by a visit to your doctor. You should also seek attention if the wound is deep, you cannot close it yourself, you cannot stop the bleeding or get the dirt out, or it does not heal.
Other common types of injuries include
- Animal bites
- Bruises
- Burns
- Dislocations
- Electrical injuries
- Fractures
- Sprains and strains
- Bleeding
- Crush injury
- Cuts and puncture wounds
- Electrical injury
- Gunshot wounds -- aftercare
- How wounds heal
- Human bites -- self-care

It's that time of year again when both young and old dream about special gifts they're hoping to receive. For car guys*, the focus is on anything automotive. Whether it's a new car, a special collector car, high performance parts or car toys or books, that's all we can think about.
Even though I didn't get the new Porsche Panamera or old Barris Kustom I was hoping for last year, there were plenty of trinkets under the tree to make me happy. This year, there seems to be more options than ever. Incentives on new cars are the strongest I've seen in a long time, with every manufacturer offering tempting year end deals. If a new car is not in the cards right now, a quick walk through Summit Racing's showroom in Tallmadge will give you plenty of ideas to add new life to your old car. Also, 2010 has been an absolute banner year for new and interesting auto books. Publishers like Motorbooks and David Bull are great resources for all automotive interests. Finally, a trip to an automotive event is always a welcome gift, especially when you can escape the Midwest's winter cold for a few days in the sun at the Scottsdale or Florida auctions.
The collector car season has pretty much come to an end in northeast Ohio, that is, the driving portion of the hobby. Once the white stuff appears in the skies andmore ominouslythe dreaded salt trucks begin their rounds most collectors put their cars in mothballsin many cases, literally. I own collector cars with wool interiors and I place a canister of mothballs inside the cars when I put them away for the winter; the stronger smelling the better. I don't want mothsor small crittersnesting in the car over the winter. Does that actually happen? You bet! Ask one of my collector car friends. A few years ago he opened the door of his vintage in April to learn that his car had become home to mice, who used his car's upholstery for their nests. Amazing as it sounds, mice can get through the smallest openings. They are very determined creatures. Protecting your car's interior is only one step you take for winter storage. Anti-freeze should be checked to make sure it's not only at proper protection level but that it's not going to cause any motor damage. At the very least a battery disconnect switch should be installed and at best the battery should be removed for the winter. Some collectors like trickle chargers. If that's your preferences, read the directions carefully. I also recommend washing your collector car before putting it away and covering it with a soft, breathable cover.
What precautions do you recommend?
I have great memories of the toy cars I had as a child. Matchbox and Corgi miniature diecasts were my favorite because they were a window into the world of foreign automobiles we didn't often see on Northeast Ohio streets. The German Schuco brand provided nicely detailed models with exquisitely functioning wind-up mechanisms. Marx and Toostsietoy examples were a bit primitive but cheap and fun as were the Auburn rubber tractors. Of course, I was enthralled with building model cars of all kinds from manufacturers such as AMT, Revell and Monogram. I remember pleading for nearly a year for my parents to buy me a highly detailed and very expensive Tamiya model of a period Honda F1 car. I was so excited when I unwrapped it that Christmas, that I started building it that same day. Now, 43 years later, I can honestly say it's almost done!
OK, I'm already rambling and I haven't even started on Tonkas, Hot Wheels or slot cars. What special childhood memories do you have with toy cars?
