Conductive Aluminum Finish
As a manufacturer of electronic instruments, we have a requirement that the aluminum enclosures must be electrically conductive to prevent RF leakage. This implies a conversion coating. In the past we have specified a gold or clear "Alodine" finish. Different fabrication houses offer different definitions of "Alodine". This leads to the inevitable rush to change the fabrication drawing for that particular vendor. Is there a generic terminology for "Alodine" or conversion coating aluminum?
Please note that we are excellent electronic engineers but dangerous where finishes and coatings are concerned.Tim Lewinski
- Ann Arbor, Michigan, US
I believe the term that you could spec on your prints would be Mil-C-5541 [link by ed. to spec at TechStreet]. Alodine is just a brand name. There are different classes of chromate conversion coatings in this Mil spec. Please refer to Mil spec C-5541 to see which class would fit your needs (they have varying coating weights, and electrical properties), and, in turn..spec that coating on your prints.

Ontario's political class responded with an outpouring of grief on Monday to news of the tragic death of former deputy premier George Smitherman's husband.
Christopher Peloso, 40, was found dead after being reported missing on Sunday for the second time in less than four months.
While police have not confirmed cause of death, Mr. Smitherman alluded to Mr. Peloso's struggles with mental illness. "We will celebrate his life and we will find comfort somehow in knowing that he has found peace from the depression that has wreaked havoc on his mind," he said in a statement.
Both friends and political foes were quick to extend their condolences to Mr. Smitherman, as well as the couple's two children and Mr. Peloso's family.
"He'll be hugely missed," a visibly emotional Premier Kathleen Wynne told reporters, "and my thoughts and love are with George and the kids."
"Sometimes the world breaks your heart," former premier and federal Liberal leader Bob Rae said via Twitter, calling Mr. Peloso "a sweet and loving man."
Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, who bested Mr. Smitherman in a fiercely contested 2010 municipal campaign, also expressed his sympathies through Twitter. "It is with great sadness that I have learned of the passing of Mr. Christopher Peloso, husband to Mr. George Smitherman, and loving father," Mr. Ford said.
Mr. Peloso, a former director of operations for Lindt Canada said to have left his job to focus on parenthood, was frequently by Mr. Smitherman's side during that mayoral race. And even before then, the couple enjoyed a prominent place in public life.
In 2007, Mr. Smitherman became the first prominent politician in the country to marry a same-sex partner. At the time, Mr. Peloso was credited for helping to soften the edges of the man known around Queen's Park as "Furious George," and for helping Mr. Smitherman find a healthier work-life balance.
Mr. Smitherman told The Globe and Mail in 2009 that he met his future husband 15 years earlier, when Mr. Peloso was "fresh off the bus" from Sudbury, where he grew up. The former deputy premier, who has been open about his hard-partying past, blamed himself for being "slow to mature," but said Mr. Peloso's "enduring" love helped to ultimately bring them together.
Mr. Peloso's apparent battle with mental illness came to public attention only in September, when he went missing for two days. After being found near a fence along train tracks near the Toronto intersection of Landsdowne and Dupont Avenues, he was taken to Toronto Western Hospital and subsequently received treatment.
Three years earlier, following the disappointment of losing his mayoral bid, Mr. Smitherman expressed excitement about the opportunity to spend more time at home. Holding the first of the couple's adopted children, he struck an optimistic note: "Tomorrow morning, we will be able to recoup some of the lost family time."
A memorial for Mr. Peloso will be held at the Wellesley Community Centre in Toronto at 11 a.m. Friday. In lieu of flowers, the family is asking for donations to the Psychiatry Research Fund of the Toronto General Hospital and Western General Hospital foundation, and to the Casey House Capital Campaign.

Perhaps it should be presented as, some players will decide their own fate based on their play this weekend.
Coming into spring training, certain things were a given.
The starting rotation was set in stone, from one through four and I would even submit the fifth position in the rotation was actually decided when the Cardinals signed Sidney Ponson.
Chris Carpenter, Mark Mulder, Jason Marquis, Jeff Suppan and Sidney Ponson.
If you want to believe the spin that top prospects, Anthony Reyes and Adam Wainwright had a chance to break into the rotation, so be it.
Reyes was sent down to Triple-A Memphis recently and Adam Wainwright has earned a spot in the Cardinals bullpen.
Jason Isringhausen is going to be your closer and the rest of the bullpen is going to consist of struggling Braden Looper, as a set up man, who has a job based on his contract, not his performance. Ricardo Rincon, Randy Flores from the left side and Brad Thompson, Adam Wainwright from the right side and it appears Josh Hancock another right-hander, will be named as the final member of the bullpen, this weekend.
On the outside looking in? Right-handers, Alan Benes and Brian Falkenborg have both pitched well and it is conceivable that either one of them could bump Hancock off the roster. Personally, I'd leave Looper in Florida for extended spring training, and bring Alan Benes north with the club.
Most of the Cardinals'lineup from day one could be written in ink.
Juan Encarnacion in right, Jim Edmonds in center, Albert Pujols at first, David Eckstein in the hole at short, Scott Rolen at third and behind the plate, Yadier Molina.
Coming into spring training, the two big questions were, who is going to be playing at second and in left?
As the Cardinals prepare to break came, the two big questions remain, who is going to play at second and in left?
The battle for second turned out to be a low intensity firefight at best. Junior Spivey had the job to lose and he has done his best to do just that.
Infielder, Aaron Miles missed some playing time with a jammed wrist, but has played well as of late and he could come out of camp as the starter.
Hector Luna the Cardinals super sub from last season, has been anything but super this spring and will be lucky not to be sent down by the end of the weekend.
The Cardinals may give the job at second to Spivey, (he hasn't earned it), but you can expect Miles to be at second before it's all over.
In left, Larry Bigbie was the early favorite, with So Taguchi serving in his traditional role as the team's fourth outfielder.
Bigbie missed a lot of playing time and was less than impressive when in the lineup. J-Rod, Rodriguez also in the mix to be in left this season also missed significant playing time with a sore left shoulder.
The outfield kids, Skip Schumaker, Chris Duncan and even John Gall, looked better than Bigbie and Rodriguez for most of the spring.
It comes down to these final calls;
Who's at second? Spivey, Miles or Luna.
My take is Spivey will be given the job, due to his contract, but Miles is breathing down his neck.
Who's in left? Taguchi, Rodriguez, Bigbie, or one of the kids.
Bigbie should start the season on the disabled list, opening the door for Rodriquez to share playing time with So Taguchi for the first few weeks of the season.
Then comes the final spots on the bench to be filled out.
Gary Bennett will back up Molina behind the plate. J-Rod Rodriguez will be there with his bat as the only left-hander who has a little pop.
The switch-hitting Scott Spiezio will probably make the team as a guy who can play, first, second, third and left. Scott started off being one of the hottest players in spring training, but his production has drop significantly over the last two weeks.
Let me put it this way, if I was Spiezio I wouldn't call in sick.
Hector Luna could still beat out Spiezio for that spot on the bench. It's not so much who has earned the job, but who did the least not to lose it.
Aaron Miles will probably make the team, if not as the starting second baseman, he'll be there as an infield reserve.
With Bigbie on the DL, minor league outfielder Skip Schumaker, will probably get the nod to join the team on the bench.
Still a lot of questions that need answers over the next 72 hours and it all comes down to the final two games this spring, before manager Tony La Russa, makes his final calls.

I think it's fair to say that the "hash" filter idea is in the public domain. L_RD knows that I've suggested it on numerous occasions.
The filter is simply a LC section made from what would ordinarily be regarded as RF parts: a 1000 pF. cap. either in mica or NP0/C0G ceramic combined with a high current RF choke. Use the choke with the largest inductance that does not saturate under the PSU's load demand.
Mouser carries suitable Bourns/J.W. Miller and Vishay parts. Look into the 5900 series parts on the linked catalog page.
No diode voltage equalizing resistors are in a "McShaned Deuce".
Eli D.
Follow Ups:
I modeled this last night, and the PRV in each leg never exceeds the rating of a single diode. It's approximately the same as the output voltage (2.8 X RMS). I guess that's why equalizing resistors aren't strictly necessary when two are used in the Cit II. The A500 used single 500V diodes to produce +370V, and the A700 used single 600V diodes for an output of +410V. Today's higher line voltages squeeze those windows somewhat, so I will probably use two diodes in each leg of the A700 rebuild. The A500 can use 600V singles.
The general values you're describing for the hash filter - e.g. 0.001uF and 1mH - produce a huge output Z spike between 100kHz and 200kHz. The supply effectively turns into a current source at that frequency. I don't know whether this could have an impact on the power amp or other stages, but a 10uF electrolytic across the 0.001uF will flatten it.
Good discussion, my rebuild path is becoming clearer!
Buy Chinese. Bury freedom.
Just wanted to add this image so you can see that the ultrasonic spike isn't only a small anomaly. If the goal of the hash filter is RF suppression, this doesn't do the job! Granted, it's well out of the audible spectrum, but any energy on the B+ line at that frequency could cause the PS voltage to swing like crazy. 10uF across the .001uF resolves this completely.
Buy Chinese. Bury freedom.
Edits: 04/02/17
Go for it! My objective was to block noisy crud, regardless of source, from sneaking into the reservoir capacitor. There is always room for variations on a theme.
FWIW, I'd still like to see a simulation with a LC reservoir section located after the "hash" filter. Superior designs, like the "Deuce", some McIntosh models, and some Marantz models, include the LC reservoir section following the doubler stack. The choke is not particularly large valued. When big caps., ala McShane, are used at the I/P of a PSU filter, the ripple waveform is highly "triangular". Applying Fourier's Theorem to that "sharp" waveform led me to call for "hash" filtration immediately following the I/P capacitance. Energy well up into RF "territory" is present that can get past the principal choke, via its real world winding capacitance. Kill the garbage before it gets to the "back door".
Eli D.
Here's the model of the factory CIT II filter. I had to guesstimate the DCR of the choke and ESR of the caps. I'll be glad to change any of the values or insert a hash filter using your components. Output Z of this design isn't particularly good, probably swings quite a bit when a 30Hz note is present. Then again, it was only $160 in kit form. :(
Buy Chinese. Bury freedom.
I've snipped from Jim's site the minimum level of Cit. 2 PSU overhaul he offers. Jim offers stuff beyond this.
For the Citation II Power Supply
1. (2) 820 uf 250 volt 105 degree Celsius very low ESR clamp mount caps that increase the capacitance from
100 uf total in the doubler to 410 uf. (2) clamps are included.
2. (4) General Instruments fast/soft recovery diodes that replace the existing top hat diodes. They fit nicely in the
fuse holder right where the old top hats are now. The GI diodes are very good, and quite reasonably priced too.
If you increase the capacitance, you really need to replace those diodes. And the DO-41 packaging is ideal for replacement.
3. (1) JJ 100/100 dual section 500 volt clamp mount cap, and...
3a. (1) Nichicon 220 uf/500 volt clamp mount cap. The Nichicon replaces the 40 uf 525 volt original twistlock,
and the JJ replaces the dual 50/50 V1/V4 decoupling cap. (2) clamps are included.
Note: This amp responds very well to improved decoupling of the input 12BY7A tubes!
4. (1) .01uf high voltage film cap to replace the existing ceramic unit.
5. (1) Gen'l Instruments fast/soft recovery diode to replace the bias selenium rectifier
6. (1 ea.) 220uf and 100 uf radial electrolytics, a new 1.8K ohm resistor, and a terminal strip for the bias circuitry.
Two new 4.7K ohm resistors to increase the range of bias adjustment.
7. A copy of the schematic, and kit installation notes and diagrams.
You end up with 630 uf (vs. 140 uf stock) of high quality capacitance for the B+, and twice the decoupling
Eli D.
Yes, Jim's basic mods to the doubler create a much better supply. I modeled it yesterday, based on the info on his Website. It's not likely I'll ever own a Cit II, but the concepts Jim is using would be applicable to any supply of this type. Below is the model of the modified doubler. It's scaled the same as the factory PS I posted earlier. Quite a difference!
Buy Chinese. Bury freedom.
Hi TK,
Thanks for running the model! I know you didn't have all the best info to run it with either - so your effort was greatly appreciated.
Just FYI - the DCR of the Cit II choke is 11 Ohms at room temperature - it may be a bit higher when under the hood of a Deuce which does get warm underneath.
Also the ESR of the doubler caps is .187 Ohms each - so even stacked in the doubler the total ESR is under .4 Ohms.
Finally (again just FYI) there is 220 uf of high quality capacitance after the hash filter so the spike you saw isn't there.
One last time - THANKS!!
NO need to thank me, it was a necessary exercise for my own work. I was glad to see such a remarkable improvement from your upgrade design (not that I expected anything else). I have a number of HK amps and receivers to rebuild using the transformer sets on new chassis designs. Most will probably be sold off, but One of these, the A500, will be for my own use. I just picked up a spare power transformer for this amp, so now I'm thinking about re-configuring as two isolated channels or maybe monoblocks. Anyway, I'll probably be looking to you for the filter caps in some or all of these. The extremely low ESR of the components you're selling has really caught my attention. Send me a PM if you ever have any pending designs you'd like to see modeled in SPICE off the forum.

Finding a Minimal Transport Cost for a Transport Problem
This paper is about finding a solution to a transport problem, using visual programming applications, with one of the specialty software – Visual Basic. Among company's spendings there are product transport spendings suported by economic agent in his way from each producers to beneficiaries. We presented the transport problem under the form of a table which contains entry data: producers (ex. Bucuresti, Ploiesti, Arad, Pitesti), beneficiaries (ex. Metro, Kaufland, Carrefour, Sellgros) and transport costs from each producers to beneficiaries. We used the minimum cost line method and north-west corner method as economic mathematic methods for determining a minimal transport cost.

Do I also have to change to a posi (T-Lok) in order to use the 4.10's? I'm sure my stock gears on my '03 (Auto. Trans) do not have T-Lok. I don't even think they were an option on the V6 Automatic.

|Rome history
|Contact Us
The tunica (tunic) was the fundamental item of clothing throughout the history of ancient Rome. It was worn by all classes, including high ranking nobility, the equestrian order, plebeians, military, slaves, men and women alike.
Clearly not all tunics were the same, and given the great importance which the Romans gave to clear social structure (note that this didn't mean that roman society didn't allow mechanisms for movement between social classes) the tunics they wore had differences:
The tunica of the Patrician order had two purple stripes down them ("laticlavus"), those of the equestrian order had a single purple stripe. They were generally of higher quality, and whiter than those of the poorer classes. Of course you could also have it dyed a different color to white: a range of different colours could be achieved, ranging from natural grey-ochre through to a range of colours, usually of natural origin.
The tunica of common men was simpler, also woollen or perhaps linen, less white than that of the rich and certainly of coarser material. If you don't like itchy woollen jumpers this wouldn't have been your favourite!
Given their essential function of keeping you warm more than one tunic might be worn on top of each other. Their length could vary, eg down to the waist, thighs or below the knees and they might or might not be tied round the waist depending on how comfortable you might want to feel. Eg at home, lounging about, you might wear it rather like a dressing gown.
Clearly an upper class Roman, when in public, would have worn a very white tunic of fine material under the traditional toga. A Roman legionary would wear it under his armour. A farmer or slave working in the fields would have worn it alone, perhaps with a belt.
Whilst various sources suggest the tunica might vary in colour and pattern (ie that it wasn't always white) there isn't any evidence of a rule as to it's colouring or patterns (except the purple stripes pertaining to your rank in public).
For example, a simple yellow dye for wool can be obtained by boiling the wool together with nettle plant roots and salt. So you might ask your farmer wife to boil it and voila, a yellow tunic, but would a soldier wearing such a tunic under his armour have suffered any penalty? Probably not but the colour itself might have brought you some social stigma: there is some evidence of red, blue and green tunics being worn at times by the military (but I haven't found yellow).
The tunica was a single piece of woollen cloth made somewhat like a South American "Poncho": a long strip of woollen material with a hole cut in the middle for the head. Or, rather than cutting a hole you might simply stitch two large rectangular pieces together whilst leaving an unstitched length in the middle for the head to fit through.
The two resulting flaps would fall round the front and back of the body and tied together with a rope, belt or strap. You could go further than the Poncho style and actually stitch the sides of your rectangles, minding to leave holes for where the arms were to fit through. Later evolution of the tunic also included the addition of sleeves, both short or long.
Higher class tunics were evidently made with greater care and effort and would therefore be made as a single piece, rather like t-shirts are today. At the opposite end of the scale, the satirist Juvenal tells us of a "tunica molesta" used as part of torture: a rough tunic which could be soaked with flammable substances....
Juvenal in his Satire #8 tells us how a gladiator fought and dishonourably fled across the arena so as to not be caught, yet everyone knew who he was because of his highly distinguishable golden tunic.

text: I agree - it is a bit fashion forward with peak lapels, etc. (although it was apparently a standard in the past? Correct me if I am wrong, just started learning/buying a suit). You can't really go wrong with notch lapels. Wish I had the opportunity to go to the actual store and try on a bunch of different suits. Getting a suit for the first time, and esp. online is a real hit or miss (most often a miss). The quality seems good for the price though (for 299 euros, I don't have high expectations), at least in my eyes, but don't take my word for it, since I have null experience with suits. Looking forward to the pictures. I was considering the Lazio model, since it seems like it would fit me better. Unfortunately, in that model, they don't have too many options currently (simple navy suit). I just took it to a local tailor, and she will make some adjustments -- hopefully she doesn't butcher it (she kind of has to take it apart since it wasn't perfect on me).

We are struggling financially right now, making about 1/3 what we were making a year and a half ago (hubby's contract ended with the military and it is difficult to find a job that pays as much as he made before, in the civilian world).
That said, I am thinking about starting up my own business. I know it won't be making $ for a while - it isn't my first time starting a new business. In fact, this is a spin off of another business I once had as a wedding and family photographer throughout Oklahoma and Texas. The road I am thinking about going down with this won't require a lot of start up costs, but it will require a lot of hard work from me to get it going. Eventually I think it will be a very lucrative trade - it just requires leg work, and patience. It will work a lot better with my family's schedule than what I was doing before, and should hopefully pay as well, or better over time.
Have any of you started your own business to help your family's finances? I'm just looking for some support, I guess, and would love to hear your stories as well. :)
It sounds like a great idea. If there is not much start up, Is it something you can just start doing (work wise), and then put together the business plan and other legal things later, as things pick up. I have started a business (it was the main source of income for family though) and know (remember) some of the things one needs to do for a start up. Are you looking for that kind of insight?
I am self-employed-- I hesitate to say I "started my own business". I have no business plan, just a license and a car. So far I haven't had to advertise, but my work needs are not high. My husband is a self-employed gardener. In some ways, I love working for myself. My hourly pay is higher, schedules more flexible. We homeschool. I can bring my girls to work with me and they can actually earn some money with real, meaningful work.
The flip side of this is that we cannot afford health insurance. The girls are on DSHS, but we do not qualify for state-subsidized care anymore, and right at this moment even catastrophic care is beyond out reach. Sometimes I just want to go get a job somewhere, but the drive and the hours would be onerous, and I always end up asking myself if my absence would be worth the job.
"She is a mermaid, but approach her with caution. Her mind swims at a depth most would drown in."
Go for it! My husband and I have both been self-employed for the last five years. We started our business together in 2006 and I had another small side business that I began in 2007. I let mine go after having 2 babies 2 years apart because the other business ended up doing well. We are extremely grateful. I honestly feel that in the economy we are living in today that we have more control over our work and lives when we work for ourselves. I saw how frustrated my husband was working for others, so naively I said "go into business for yourself....how hard could it be?" It is easy to laugh now, but I still believe that the freedom you can have with owning your own business is worth it. Owning your own business and managing it along with doing the work can be very demanding, but I wouldn't give it up for anything! Plus, I think it sets an excellent example to our kids who will hopefully learn a very solid work ethic.
Thank you so much for the encouragement and insight, everyone! I am so happy to hear that some of you have gone down another road with your careers independently as well.
What I'm hoping to do really won't start paying for a while, but the business plan includes that as a part of the process. As with most things you have to prove you're worth paying for. ;) I know it will work out eventually if I really apply myself now, and I've seen others successfully do what I am hoping to do in a slightly different way in other areas.
I'm still on the fence about it because I know it will be a LOT of work, and I JUST found out I'm expecting a baby. On the other side of things, it is a great progression for me in my career, doing what I'd really like to do with photography, and if I am going to do it anytime soon, I should probably use the time that I'm pregnant to put in the leg work, since I may not have time to do as much of the base-building after the baby is born.

Organic Gardening: Creating a Peaceful Garden Space for Meditation or Relaxation with Terah Collins
WebMD Live Events Transcript
Would your day have made a great Country/Western song? Join Terah Collins, founder of the Western School of Feng Shui, for a discussion on how to create a tranquil, balanced world for meditation and relaxation, right in your own backyard.
The opinions expressed herein are those of the guest's alone. If you have questions about your health, you should consult your personal physician. This event is meant for informational purposes only.
Moderator: Greetings all and welcome to WebMD Live! Our guest this evening is Terah Kathryn Collins. Collins is an internationally recognized Feng Shui author, consultant, speaker, and teacher. Her first book, The Western Guide to Feng Shui: Creating Balance, Harmony, and Prosperity in Your Environment available from Barnes & Noble, is one of the best-selling Feng Shui books in the world and has been translated into eight languages.
Thank you for being with us this afternoon, Ms. Collins!
Collins: It's my pleasure to be with you.
Moderator: Can you begin by telling us a little about yourself and your background?
Collins: My background holds the fact that I am a polarity therapist, and involved in the holistic health community for my whole career, until about 12 years ago when I moved from Washington, D.C. to San Diego. When I moved to San Diego, I knew I would be changing careers but did not know how to describe what my new career was. I sensed it was going to be working more with environment, and that's all that I knew at first. I call that time in my life being pregnant with myself. I had had a wonderful career as a polarity therapist and teacher, then jumping into the unknown waiting for my life's next set of questions.
After getting settled into my home in San Diego, one of my new friends called and insisted that join her at a lecture on some weirdo subject that I had only heard a little about, that sounded very complicated and very strange and very superstitious to me. I told her that I didn't want to go to the lecture, and she said, "You have to go. I know you are supposed to be there." That woke up a place in me and I said, "Okay, I'll go." So I went, and it was a lecture on Feng Shui being given by Dr. Tan, and after two or three minutes of hearing him speak, I knew I was sitting in the presence of my future. And that Feng Shui was what I was going to become intimately involved with in my next work.
I studied with Dr. Tan, very excited about every word that came out of his mouth, and with all of my new knowledge, I excitedly went running home to fix my ailing marriage. I was going to use Feng Shui to transform my mediocre, unhappy marriage into something wonderful again. So, I Feng Shui'd our home with great enthusiasm, knowing everything was going to be happy again. Thirty days later I was living in my own apartment, having to face the fact that my marriage was best ended and my path included a new beginning in that regard as well.
Not having a mediocre marriage to contend with, I concentrated even more on my Feng Shui studies, lectures and class and giving lectures as well. One of my little local lectures had six people in attendance. One of the people there was well-known author and publisher, Louis Hay. She asked me to begin to write down all of my experiences that I was having in my Feng Shui practice and that led to my first book, The Western Guide to Feng Shui.
sarahmayne_webmd: What is Feng Shui?
Collins: The way I define Feng Shui is that it is a study of how to arrange your environment to enhance your life.
Moderator: Can you explain the basic principles of Feng Shui?
Collins: There are three basic principles that form the foundation on which Feng Shui rests. The first principle is that everything on the planet is alive with vital energy, or what we call Ch'i. When I say everything, I mean everything, whether we consider it inanimate or not. That means that everything we live with, our furniture, art, our keepsakes, our computers, et cetera, are all alive essentially and they are alive in two ways: one is molecularly, which we know at this point due to quantum physics is true, and equally as important is that everything that surrounds us is alive with our thoughts, our memories, and associations that we have towards that object. For example, if I have a piece of furniture in my living room that every time I look at it I remember how magnificent it was to find that piece, I remember how much I paid for that piece, I remember all of the good times I've had having that piece of furniture in my life, that would be considered very positive because it's lifting the vital energy of me and my surroundings all of the time. If, on the other hand, I have a piece of furniture that every time I look at it I remember something unhappy, such as a divorce, or some kind of "downer" then that piece of furniture would be questionable because it is detracting from my life as opposed to adding to my life. We can look at every single solitary object we own, and for most of us that means thousands of objects that surround us, and decide what is that object alive with for me? Does it make my heart sing, or does it make me feel bad or unhappy in some way?

Wow! I can't tell you how much I appreciate you taking your time to help me out. I was so discouraged when I drove my car (after the work) and that horrible noise was still there. What surprises me is that there is really nothing (until now) that I've been able to find in this truly awesome forum that addresses this problem. I think it's only the 2.8s that have the counter weights but even so wouldn't you think the problem would be more prevalent? Anyway, I'm looking forward to removing the weights but just one question... what is the procedure? Do you have to remove the bumper or other components? Could you just describe the method you used? Thanks again, in advance for your help.

I scheduled a time to have Rhinoplasty when I had a pretty free calendar and would be able to stay home for 2-3 weeks. I also had a great support system at home in my husband to care for the kids and let me rest. The surgery was somewhat lengthy as I had a large bump I was having removed from my nose as well as tip reshaping, but I was out of course for the whole thing. I had a cast on my nose for a week and then went back in to have Dr. Fryer remove it.
The most uncomfortable thing was that the blood that dripped from my nose had pooled around the nostrils and attached to the nose hairs. It was very painful as Dr. Fryer removed the dried blood but he took his time and was extremely careful and tender in doing this. I've never been so grateful to someone for picking my nose! The rest of the recovery time was just waiting for the black eyes and bruising to fade, which took about 2 1/2 weeks. If I bumped my nose it was painful but that was my own fault;) Otherwise, I was not in pain. I didn't even get a headache. I know this is because of the great skill Dr. Fryer has as a surgeon. The result is beautiful! My husband could not get over the unbelievable before and after.
My first time out in public I was a bit apprehensive as to what the reaction might be that I had had plastic surgery. The thing is, people don't notice. They don't. They just think you look great! Everyone is more concerned with themselves in all honestly. And if they do notice the reaction is always, "Good for you!" That is why you do it...for you! I love looking at my new nose every time I look in the mirror and I do feel more confident. You feel a sense of endearment to someone who changed your life. This is how I feel about Dr. Fryer and would recommend him to anyone!

By Joe Kay, AP Sports Writer
CINCINNATI Rafael Betancourt has lost his job as interim closer for the Cleveland Indians, who plan to use several relievers at the end of games until Joe Borowski returns from an arm injury.
Manager Eric Wedge made the decision Friday, a day after Betancourt had to be replaced in the ninth inning of a 4-2 win over Oakland.
"I talked to Betancourt today," Wedge said, before the start of an interleague series against the Reds. "I explained to him what I'm seeing and where he's at. He understands. I think we're capable of using any of those guys."
Borowski has been out since April 15 with a strained right triceps. He threw 30 to 35 pitches without problem Friday in a simulated game. The Indians plan to have him pitch in a minor league game next week as part of a rehabilitation assignment.
Wedge would like to see Borowski pitch a couple of times in the minors before he's activated.
Betancourt tied for the AL lead in holding leads last season, when he was a key part of Cleveland's bullpen. He moved into the closer's role when Borowski got hurt, and converted four of five save chances even though he struggled. On Monday, he gave up three runs in the 10th inning of a scoreless game.
Betancourt was 1-2 with a 7.31 earned run average after he failed to close out Thursday's game. He loaded the bases with one out in the ninth on a pair of hits and a walk.
Masa Kobayashi, signed as a free agent from Japan last November, threw a run-scoring wild pitch before closing it out for his first major league save. Kobayashi saved 227 games in Japan, one of only three pitchers there to reach the 200-save mark.
Wedge said he will use Betancourt, Kobayashi, Jensen Lewis and Rafael Perez interchangeably at the end of games.
"I look at it like we have four guys I feel comfortable using in the seventh, eighth and ninth innings, depending on the matchup and availability," Wedge said. "That's how I'm goring to play it out. I'm not going to say somebody is or somebody isn't (a closer). I feel we can be comfortable using all four of those guys."
Wedge wasn't comfortable picking one player as the closer.
"I think the worst thing you can do is anoint somebody that one day later," he said. "We need to have more to work off. We're still optimistic Joe is going to be back sooner than later. It's not an indefinite situation."
Heading into the intrastate series, the Indians had won eight of 10, vaulting them into first place in the AL Central.

Free children haircuts offered today
Fraternity pays for service to boost kids' self-esteem.
Updated 11:20 am, Friday, August 19, 2011
In the rush to prepare students for the first day of school, parents rack up quite a bill paying for new school supplies, clothes and backpacks.
Finishing touches like a good haircut can be one expense too many.
Williams Barber College, partnering with the Psi Alpha chapter of Omega Psi Phi, is offering free haircuts to children from 8:30 a.m. through 4:30 p.m. today. It's a way for families to avoid one expense and to help children with their self-esteem by being clean-cut for the new school year.
On Thursday, when the service started, the college's barbers had worked on roughly 85 children as of noon. By the end of today, 600 children will have had haircuts, said Charles Williams, owner and founder of the college.
"We have always tried to do positive things for this community," he said.
This is the eighth year that both organizations have provided the free service, said Scott Earle, the fraternity's social action committee chairman, who said he was influenced by his father's community charity work in New York.
News Channel
The fraternity, Earle said, is paying the college $3 a haircut, and also tipping and buying meals for the college's barbers. Last year, the fraternity paid roughly $5,000 to help put on the event, he said.
For Williams and Earle, getting a haircut is about more than controlling unruly curls; it's about putting forth an image of oneself and above all, looking respectable.
"We want to show (children) how to present themselves at an early age," Earle said, adding that he is trying to get other fraternity chapters throughout the country to hold similar events.
In the African American and Hispanic communities, a local barber shop acts as a neighborhood forum, where older generations tend to, mentor and help shape the lives of younger generations, Williams said. For Earle and Williams, looking presentable, professional and clean-cut is essential in life.
"There are certain things that we cannot afford to do if we want to be accepted by the masses," Williams said, noting that there is a stigma in the professional world against those who adhere to the hip-hop culture's style.
The free haircut event is a way to teach children how they are to present themselves to be professional and respected members of their community, Earle said.

So, when an NHL team is done for the year it holds a Breakdown Day – that annual ritual where reporters meet one last time with players and coaches and the players pack their gear and start their exit meetings with team officials.
Alex Ovechkin's chat with reporters took an interesting turn about midway through. Not sure I know exactly what to make of it so I'm going with a partial transcript of his comments and let you, the reader, decide what he meant. Trying not to take anything out of context here so I left everything in – "likes" and "you knows" and all. This was a series of three questions in a row. Here goes:
What do you think the team needs moving forward? Can you play the same way? Do you need a coach with a completely different style…
"Well, I don't know, first of all, who's going to be the coach next year. But I think, like, the leaders in this group have to be together and don't look at, like, you know – don't be, sometimes, like, you know, I don't know how to much explain better, but sometimes you don't have to be jealous. You know, like, I don't want to say, like, it was a jealousy situation for us, but sometimes you just have to be a group together. It was, how I said after the game, it was best team I played in the Capitals. But after the loss you just thinking and you, like, you have to be together all the time. It doesn't matter, like, if you lose or you win. "
Jealous you mean in ice time? You mean jealous…to what? I don't understand that?
"I don't want to say persons, I don't want to say, like, you know, situations, but sometimes, like, you just know, like, some guys and, like, if you didn't play well they just look at you and like, you know... Of course, you can see it, I can see it and somebody else gonna see it and it's not the way, like, we gonna win the game."
What did you go through as a team to get everyone to buy in and play consistently every night?
Well, just simple things. I think in the playoffs - we was a team in the playoffs. I don't think, like, I don't know if you guys see that or not, but I was in locker room, I was on the bus, I was on plane. And it was a team. But you lose like a team and you win like a team. I don't think, like, you can say one person was make mistake and, you know, somebody was doing bad things in the year. But again, you have to learn it. Every time you take a step you have to learn the step, you know. And after this year, like I don't think, like, somebody going to say it was a bad year. Yeah, of course we lost, but you know we try. We're going to take good things about this year, like, I don't know who's going to be coach, but he's going to know, like, we can play "D" and this group of guys can do, like, jobs, you know."
Okay then. That seems to indicate something beyond normal tension in the locker room – though Ovechkin does say things were better in the playoffs. Of course, the team was winning then. That's usually a pretty super tonic. This also dovetails with something defenseman Karl Alzner said repeatedly late in the season: That the team would have the occasional screaming session when things got tense during a difficult playoff race late in the season.
"When you go through a lot of the ups and down – and stuff on the ice, but off the ice – we've had meetings and yelling matches, just as every team does, and when you have that and you get things all out in the open things usually get better after that. It's kind of a stupid saying, but someone said it and it was perfect. It's 'You got to crack a couple eggs to make an omelet.' And that's exactly what's happened. We kind of broke things down and slowly start to build it up. It's going to be exciting to see how everything pans out."
But did that omelet come at a cost of hard feelings?

NFL • The Kansas City Chiefs announced Monday that they agreed on a five-year deal with receiver Dwayne Bowe, signed punter Dustin Colquitt to a new contract, and placed the franchise tag on left tackle Branden Albert. All three of the players were due to become free agents.
The moves come less than a week after new Chiefs general manager John Dorsey and coach Andy Reid acquired former University of Utah quarterback Alex Smith from the San Francisco 49ers for their second-round pick in this year's draft and a conditional selection in next year's draft.
Bowe was the recipient of the franchise tag last year. He was unhappy with the decision and didn't report to training camp until it was well under way, but still managed to catch 59 passes for 801 yards and three touchdowns despite weak quarterback play.
• The NFL deadline for placing franchise tags on players has passed, with only eight given the tag by their teams for next season. Along with Kansas City's Albert, Dallas linebacker/defensive end Anthony Spencer and Miami defensive tackle Randy Starks were tagged Monday.
The other tagged players are Buffalo safety Jairus Byrd, Chicago defensive tackle Henry Melton, Cincinnati defensive end Michael Johnson, Denver offensive tackle Ryan Clady and Indianapolis punter Pat McAfee.
With the non-exclusive franchise tag, a player's team has the right to match any offer sheet, or get two first-round draft picks in return for allowing him to leave.
NRA puts nameon Sprint Cup race
AUTO RACING • The National Rifle Association will be the title sponsor for next month's NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Texas Motor Speedway, the track announced Monday. The April 13 race will be known as the NRA 500. The deal comes at a time when the NRA is involved in a renewed debate on gun violence in the wake of the December shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
This is not the NRA's first title sponsorship in NASCAR. The group sponsored a Nationwide race at Atlanta last September, the NRA American Warrior 300.
Whitecaps captain ruptures Achilles
SOCCER • Vancouver Whitecaps captain Jay DeMerit has ruptured his Achilles tendon and will be out indefinitely. The center back played the first seven minutes of Vancouver's season-opening 1-0 victory over Toronto FC on Saturday before leaving with the injury. The 33-year-old DeMerit is from Green Bay, Wis., and in his third year with the Whitecaps. He was coming off an All-Star season in 2012. He started 31 of Vancouver's 32 and helped lead the club to its first appearance in the MLS Cup playoffs.
• David Beckham will play in an all-star game in China this year as part of a deal to help raise soccer's profile in the world's most populous country. Fans in China should get a chance to see Beckham play in a team against China's best players in November, five months after his current contract with PSG expires. If a new PSG deal is agreed beyond the end of this season, the midfielder will ask for permission to make the trip.

Halle Berry has revealed the name of her newborn daughter, it's Nahla Ariela Aubry.
It's official. Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry's baby daughter is called Nahla Ariela Aubry. It is pronounced "GNAW-lah ARE-ee-EL-uh"
The baby girl was born Sunday morning, March 16 at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. Star Magazine was the first to bring the report to the surface. An insider told the publication, "Halle Berry had a 7lb 4 oz girl at 10:17am." According to Access Hollywood, as being told by a source, the actress had a long natural birth.
It's the first child of Halle and her model boyfriend Aubry. The pair have been dating since January 2006. In September 2007, the actress officially confirmed that she's pregnant with his baby. "Yes, I am three months pregnant," so she said at that time. "Gabriel and I are beyond excited, and I've waited a long time for this moment in life. Now the next seven months will be the longest of my life!"
Speaking about her baby's name, Berry told Access Hollywood's Nancy O'Dell, "We didn't have a name picked out until just before we left the hospital. For us it was hard to name the most important person in our life until we met her."
New mom Halle, according to her representative Sunday, March 16, is "doing great" and now at home with Nahla.

text: OLLU welcomed Dr. Donna Beegle for presentation on poverty Posted on Monday, June 4, 2012 OLLU hosted a presentation by Dr. Donna Beegle titled "Breaking the Cycle of Poverty – Education Is Your Life Sustainability" on Thursday, June 14 in Thiry Auditorium. Dr. Beegle has worked and written articles providing insights and strategies for communicating more effectively across race, class, gender and generational barriers for more than 17 years. Her work has been featured in newspapers and on television locally and nationally. Additionally, her work on poverty is being featured in the upcoming PBS documentary "Invisible Nation." Having lived in poverty for the first part of her life, Dr. Beegle made the effort to rise above her surroundings and earned a GED, an associate's degree in journalism, a bachelor's degree in communications, a master's degree in communications and a doctoral degree in educational leadership. Throughout her educational career, Dr. Beegle's studies focused on a topic that was close to her heart—poverty. Part of Dr. Beegle's work includes the creation of the consulting firm Communication Across Barriers and the nonprofit organization Poverty Bridge. Both strive to improve communication between those stricken by poverty and those who work in social services, as well as provide viable opportunities for people who wish to move out of poverty. Dr. Beegle has worked with educators, justice professionals, health care providers, social service agencies, and other organizations all over the nation who want to make a difference for those living in the crisis of poverty.
