Hernia Answer A1319
You can request a prescription for some other painkillers such as tramadol, ketoprofen, diclofenak, ibuprofen, etc. as a substitute for codeine Tramadol is also opiate analgesic like codeine. The rest of the painkillers are non-opiate based forumulas.

Redford: Tough time for indie films
Robert Redford has revealed it is still "a struggle" to get indie films made.
The Oscar-winning director-actor, who returned to the UK to launch the second year of his Sundance London film and music festival, admitted that the economic situation makes things tougher for independent filmmakers.
"It's always been difficult, and it may continue to be difficult. The state of the film business in general is not particularly healthy," he said at the festival's launch at the Cineworld O2 in London.
The 76-year-old added: "Independent film has always had to struggle for a place in the universe. It's always had to struggle for a place in the exhibition area because the mainstream in the beginning would not create spaces for independent films, so they had to take different routes. That has increased and it's better, but overall, mostly due to the economy, it's difficult."
Robert also revealed that the Eagles' inclusion in this year's Sundance London festival was a "personal thing".
The beloved British rockers - Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Joe Walsh and Timothy B Schmit - are in the capital for the European premiere of History Of The Eagles Part One, and the long-time fan admitted he may have had a hand in setting it up.
"Of course I do wish the Eagles are playing live. It's kind of a personal thing. I've been a fan for a long time and Don Henley is a friend. I just love their music and it was a joy for us to bring the documentary here," he said.
Mud, starring Reese Witherspoon and Matthew McConaughey, Emanuel And The Truth About Fishes with Kaya Scodelario and Aneurin Barnard, and Michael Winterbottom's The Look Of Love are among the films shown at this year's Sundance London festival, which runs until April 28.

Good Points
Attempts to write formal 'scientific' theory in an informal and light-hearted way.
Easy structure with short 'sections' with catchy draw-in titles 'Why Men Can't Lie to Women'
Bad Points
Harshly generalises the genders and their roles
Works upon outdated stereotypes of masculinity and femininity
Is insulting in its generalisations of identity
Outright rejects the ideas of social impact upon behaviour, despite obvious impact of these
Uses the authors' lives as 'raw material' and appears to believe that everybody worldwide has the same relationship experiences of lazy men who are unhelpful and socially inept, and of the hardworking women with their superior social intellect and senses
The book is highly gendercentric in its views and borders upon anti-male at times.
General Comments
Clearly the notion of the book will strike a chord with a general public, drawn to the bright lights of 21st century 'evidence' of how everything we experience is inherent in our brains and everything about us is genetic, however the book serves to totally reject the social impacts and hence has a strongly biased, stereotyping and generalized definition of gender, from which the entire pathos of the book derives. If you are devoutly allied to the former in the Nature vs Nurture debate, you may herald this as some literary masterpiece, however if you have a wider viewpoint and the ability to rationalize thought, this book may, as it has to me, anger you with its opinions.

Interview: 'Romance with a Twist of Mystery' Author Terry Odell
Published 8:55 am, Saturday, March 2, 2013
Terry Odell was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, a rare native for several years. Odell graduated from UCLA, and worked in the L.A. County secondary school system, teaching junior high school science, until she relocated to Florida.
Odell can't remember learning to read, only that she continuously did. Odell's parents entertain folks with the recollection they had to move from their first home because she finished the library.
Odell stumbled upon fan fiction, which was worthy training once she ascertained she could withstand the tedious typing process.
Odell found a writing group at iVillage, but learned the short story layout difficult to tackle. Odell was able to pen a beginning, a middle, and more middle, so she moved to novels where she could cultivate more complex characters and finally get to 'the end.'Paradoxically, her first publications were short stories from The Wild Rose Press.

Please share how you came up with the concept for Nowhere to Hide?
Nowhere to Hide actually started out as my second novel. I'd finished writing my first book, Finding Sarah, and wanted to make sure I could write another one. The original title was Starting Over because that's what I was doing-starting over. One of the secondary characters, Colleen McDonald, wanted her own book. The book has been through three iterations. It was published as Starting Over by Cerridwen Press. When rights reverted to me, I reworked it and sold it to The Wild Rose Press as Nowhere to Hide. When I got the rights back again, I revisited the story, tied it back to my Pine Hills Police series, and released it as an indie book.
When you're deeply connected and immersed in a book, Terry, have you ever had a dream that you felt was not your dream? Do your characters dream within you?
Interesting question, but no. Of course most of my dreams seem strange, but I've never had one I could attribute to someone else or a character. However, when I'm immersed in a book, the characters are with me all day long.
Have you had a dream that was one of your characters?
Again, no. At least no dreams that I remember in the morning. What happens when I'm asleep is another story.
What do you love most about writing suspense?
I love the mystery part-actually, I like mystery more than suspense, because I don't like to know what's going on outside of the POV of my main characters. I like entwining a relationship with the mystery aspects of the story. I don't plot, so it's always a discovery process. I prefer to call my books "Mysteries With Relationships."
Terry, please share the titles of three suspense novels on your nightstand?
As I said, I prefer mystery to suspense. But to answer your questions the books on my nightstand right now: Guilt, by Jonathan Kellerman; A River in the Sky, by Elizabeth Peters; Loose Ends, by Tara Janzen
Who are some of your favorite suspense writers?
I don't read a lot of suspense, although booksellers and publishers don't always categorize the books the same way I do. I hate to pick favorites, so this list of authors I read is far from complete: C.J. Box, Michael Connelly, J.D. Robb, Linda Castillo, Robert Crais, Suzanne Brockmann, Allison Brennan... I could go on.
How do you find balance?
I just do what I want. Since I indie publish these days, I'm not tied into strict deadlines. I spend the first couple of hours on "me" stuff, work on writing-related things (right now I'm preparing lectures for a workshop on the 12 Steps to Intimacy that I'll be doing on line at Savvy Authors starting March 4th). I work on blog posts, catch up on emails. Then I look over the work I did the day before, fix it and get a running start into the WIP. I try for at least 1000 words a day which is a relatively easy pace that lets me have time to play with the dog, enjoy the mountain life, and do all the regular day-to-day stuff.
What makes you laugh?
Watching my dog try to play with the deer. My husband. My grandson.
What did you learn about yourself while penning Deadly Bones?
That if I'm going to write a series, I need to take better notes!
What challenges did you endure while writing When Danger Calls?
You make it sound like the writing process is comparable to the obstacle course I put my Blackthorne characters through as part of their training. I love the writing. Doing the research, figuring out what secret Ryan was hiding, channeling the five-year-old daughter of the heroine might be considered challenges, but that's the fun of writing. Finding people to answer questions about winching someone up into a helicopter (or what the inside of the helicopter would look like) are challenges, but I don't consider them obstacles in any way.
What did you learn about yourself while inking Saving Scott?
Saving Scott started as a proposal for a mystery series from a traditional publisher. I wrote the proposal they requested based on their story outline, and then revised when they wanted everything changed. When that deal fell through, I picked myself up, reworked the chapters I'd written into another Pine Hills Police story, which went on to hit #15 overall in the Nook Store. So, I guess I learned that it's about moving forward.?
What fears were you facing with the release of Deadly Bones?
The same fears I think any author faces when they release a book. Is it good enough? Will people like it? Was the first book in the series a fluke? Can I sustain a true series.
What are you most ambivalent about when you sit down to write?
I don't know that you can write if you're ambivalent. If you don't care about the story, the characters, then the writing will be flat. Some days the words come more easily than others, but when you sit down to write, you have to write. It might be dreck that you delete the next time you sit down, but as Nora Roberts says, "You can't fix a blank page."
What do you want your readers to walk away with after reading your books?
I want them to have a good time. I want them to escape into a world I created, and I want them to think they'll run into one of my characters while they're standing in the checkout line at the grocery store.
If you were able to go on a white water rafting with whomever you want (past or present), who do you pick and what are you talking about?
Having been white-water rafting, I don't know that I'd be doing a lot of talking. Screaming, maybe. And I'm sure you're looking for something deep and profound-someone with an influence on history, for example. But I'm not proud. I'd love to spend some "captive" time with Adrian Paul, because it was because of his Highlander television series that I started writing. Mostly, I think I'd stare at him. I'd thank him for inspiring me, and ask him what his take is on the whole Highlander universe, and see how much "insider" information he'd be willing to share.

He found that that pursuit wasn't satisfying and went on his own to find a way to escape suffering. He went on his own and meditated and searched, and attained buddhahood. He chose to share the way with all of us so we can attain liberation from suffering as well. His first teaching is called the Four Noble Truths.

Year One enjoyed life as a Pirate on Monday! They looked incredible (and terrifying) and began the day by making up their own Pirate name. During the day the children made hard biscuits that would actually have been eaten at sea. They also used watercolours to paint what they could see through a telescope and worked brilliantly together to create their own 3D Islands.
To top it all off a treasure hunt took place in the afternoon to find our stolen loot. Mr Stanton was made to walk the plank for this!
It was definitely a day to remember.

President Pervez Musharraf was accused yesterday of an "act of desperation" after he apparently considered declaring a state of emergency in Pakistan.
General Musharraf ultimately resisted the calls from some within his close circle, but speculation is mounting over the future of his eight-year rule.
He cancelled a visit to Kabul yesterday and instead met senior advisers to discuss the possible measure.
However, by the mid-afternoon, Mohammad Ali Durrani, the information minister, was attempting to quash the rumours of an imminent emergency by claiming that the general had personally faced down his aides.
Gen Musharraf's government is facing fierce opposition from Islamic radicals, as well as intense pressure to share power with opposition leaders. More than 360 people have died in a wave of suicide attacks and clashes between militants and security forces which began with a bloody army assault on a radical mosque in Islamabad last month.
Another pretext for a possible declaration of an emergency is the recent barrage of statements by senior US politicians, including Barack Obama, the Democrat presidential candidate, that America may launch unilateral strikes at al-Qa'eda targets on Pakistani soil.
Imposing emergency rule would automatically extend the current parliament for another 12 months, meaning a delay in the elections that are currently due to be held later this year or early in 2008. Talat Masood, a political analyst, said that if Gen Musharraf took such action it would be an "act of desperation", adding: "This is his weapon of last resort."
Last week Gen Musharraf reiterated his plan to have himself re-elected in his dual role as army chief and president. But this is likely to be challenged in the Supreme Court. His attempts to extend his rule by allying with Benazir Bhutto, the exiled former prime minister, have so far foundered on his unwillingness to shed his uniform.
President George W Bush sought to shore up Gen Musharraf's position yesterday by saying he recognised Pakistan as a "sovereign nation".
Meanwhile, Ms Bhutto said she was relieved that a state of emergency had not been declared. "I was a very worried person," she said. "Emergency rule would be a very retrograde step and take us further away from the goal of the democratisation of Pakistan."
Hopes unfulfilled
General Pervez Musharraf, 63, was welcomed by most Pakistanis as a potential reformer when he ousted the incompetent government of Nawaz Sharif in 1999.
But the bluff, secular-minded former commando has struggled to live up to demanding expectations.
At the onset he set out to implement his vision of "enlightened moderation"; tackle Pakistan's endemic corruption; collect taxes and bring stability.
He succeeded in some difficult areas. The economy stabilised and he has embarked on pursuing peaceful relations with arch-foe India. But he has never escaped the key contradiction of his tenure: how to skirt between Islamist terrorists while living up to American expectations as an ally in the war on terror.

installed Ubuntu, can't boot, grub error 18, can I fix without a floppy drive?
I am new to Linux. Installed Ubuntu 8.04 to a brand new unformatted hard drive. Chose the option to do a "guided" installation. Answered all the questions, then removed the CD and re-started the machine, and I get something like "grub error 18" on the screen and nothing else happens. Some of the postings I've read state to fix with a floppy by running FIXMBR. But my machine has no floppy drive, is it possible to run from a CD? Or is it best to just re-install Ubuntu and use small partitions?
Thanks in advance,
Did you choose the option to install Grub to the mbr?
No other OS on the system?
Grub Error 18 : Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS
This error is returned when a read is attempted at a linear block address beyond the end of the BIOS translated area. This generally happens if your disk is larger than the BIOS can handle (512MB for (E)IDE disks on older machines or larger than 8GB in general)
Is LBA enabled in BIOS?
hard drive partitioning learning curve
Is LBA inabled? Don't know. Will check. I have windows xp on another drive, no problems with it. Added another 250 Gbyte hard drive just for Linux. The Ubuntu installer has some options for partitioning that are over my head. If I manually partition the new hard drive, what do I specify for a "mount point"?
install grub to the mbr
And how does one "install grub to the mbr"?
Thanks for the help.
It would help if you could give us a fdisk -ls from terminal as root. This way we can see the disk numbers and layout.
Use a Live CD and post the output of 'fdisk -l' as suggested by Larry Webb.
Usually, the last thing done during an install is the bootloader and the default is to install to mbr. Did you create any partitions and/or format on the 2nd drive before/during the install? Sounds like you need to do a little reading on partitioning drives but post the fdisk -l and see what we can do.
1. ask: If I manually partition the new hard drive, what do I specify for a "mount point"?
ans: You just need to type "/" for mount point.
2. ask: And how does one "install grub to the mbr"?
ans: click it anyway. Ubuntu Grub will overwrite Xp mbr. But don't worry, Your Ubuntu Grub is able to read Xp mbr so you can use xp normally.
Hope this help you
Ups!!! I am sorry! For no 1 answer, i posted "/". I made a mistake. I think you want to located root place.
For mount point, i usually put it in where my linux installation take a place
problem solved!
Thanks, everyone, for your help. It really is nice to know somebody's out there!
I found the cause of my problem in another thread. What I did to fix things was go into my CMOS setup menu and set the new hard drive options to "AUTO". That was all it took.
It never occurred to me that a new drive would be handled differently than the original installed drive. Should have checked that before starting all this.
Thanks again.

President Obama Takes Stand Against Corruption?
Thursday, January 26, 2012
Everyone who listened to President Obama's State of the Union address Tuesday night heard him say if a bill to end insider trading in Congress landed on his desk, he would sign it. I found this most interesting. Peter Schweizer, Governor Palin's foreign adviser, recently released his book, Throw Them All Out, which put a spotlight on insider trading and crony capitalism running rampant in government. He also gave specifics about the crony capitalism our own President is engaged in, as he provides special favors to those who did their part to put him in office. It's the same old you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours game that has become as common to politics as scratching fleas is to dogs.
Stacy Drake wrote a Conservatives4Palin piece yesterday discussing this:
As many of you are aware, Peter Schweizer, Governor Palin's adviser and an editor for Breitbart, has been leading the fight in exposing the insider trading and abuse of power by the nation's lawmakers. To the surprise of many of us, President Obama took up the issue of insider trading on Capitol Hill in last night's State of the Union speech.
Consider me skeptical, yet encouraged by Obama's statement on this particular issue. The other 99% of his speech was just more of the same class warfare, leftist drivel that we've come to expect from the current commander-in-chief, and thus, not very encouraging at all.
While this is indeed a "victory" in the fight against corruption in government, I'll believe that the president is serious about signing a bill when I see it. I'd also like to read any bill he does sign if it ever does land on his desk. Obama is good at selling one thing as another, and since the media rarely calls him out on this, why wouldn't he be?
One last thing that struck me about the president's comments was his sheer hypocrisy. Towards the end of the clip above, he says:
Let's make sure people who bundle campaign contributions for Congress can't lobby Congress, and vice versa – an idea that has bipartisan support, at least outside of Washington.
Yes it does, Mr. President. However, the same should apply to the executive branch, shouldn't it? If you recall, Obama's bundlers were at the heart of the Solyndra scandal.
I do commend Obama for talking about the "corrosive influence of money in politics," I also recognize that the current administration is just as 'corroded' as Congress. My advice to voters is to do as the title of Schweizer's book suggests and "throw them all out" come November, and that includes Obama.

Last Thursday(Nov.4,2010) I ordered a Nitroplanes Dynam Grand Cruiser. I received the package on Monday(Nov.8,2010). I opened the package and the parts are triple packed in thick packing board for triple protection. I have not started building yet. The Nitroplanes RTF version has the servos, flight battery(2200 mah 3s 20c), charger, motors, 2 ESC, Rx, wingtanks green and red navigation lights and rudder tip red navigation light ALL wired in and ready for action. The flap cutouts and the retract ready cutouts are already factory cut ready for flap and aftermarket retract installation. The RTF kit comes with fixed gear and the nose gear has a working oleo spring loaded steerable strut. The decals are lovely. The workmanship of the molded foam parts are very good. So yesterday I ordered from HobbyKing.com the complete 3 gear servoless electronic retractable landing gear set complete with the control module, wheels, struts and wheel locking collars for $74.23 and I also ordered the alloy 3 gear shock absorbing spring loaded landing gear struts complete with the rubber wheels for $28.14 and the shipping for the whole order was $9.99. HobbyKing.com shipped the package already when I checked the status of my order this morning. So quick!!! Tomorrow afternoon I will assemble the Dynam Grand Cruiser and test flight it maybe afterwards. Will put the retracts as soon as it arrives next week.
As for strengthening the center wing box...........I have a lot of electric brushless planes and the EPO wing will flex and not break on high G manuevers. I have second thoughts on the spar modification as I want the wing to break in a crash and absorb the impact rather than being rigid and transferring the impact force to the fuselage and breaking the fuselage. In my experience......wing EPO repairs are easier than fuselage EPO repairs. I find it easier to do wing EPO repairs than a broken EPO fuselage repair(I have crashed and hit trees and other obstacles as I also fly in a baseball park surrounded by wire fence and tall trees all around). Also, wing EPO repair is easier to cover up with some paint or covering material(decals, etc.) than fuselage EPO repair. That is just my 2c...of course. 'Nuff said.

If you fly the plane scale, I'm sure it would be ok, but if you fly like the majority of people I see flying foamies, it will fail. It is for sure a very weak wing center section. Mine has a lightply sub spar. The DC-3 has a nice carbon spar in it. I guess Dynam thought it was not needed in the 310? Biggest thing to remember is to go over the airframe from head to toe before flying. Every joint, sub-assembly, mech connection.........ect......ect........I reglued/fixed/retightened a bunch of stuff on my 310. Never trust anything on any arf.
As I understand it....."Allelectric" on post no.59 said that the right motor became unglued and when he hit the throttle to do the "touch and go" the right motor flipped upwards and cut the wing and the fuselage and then with only the left motor running the plane did "a wingover" in his own words......which I interpret as the airplane doing a cartwheel on the wings.....which broke the wing in 3 pieces. The crash was not due to wing failure in flight but was due to the right motor mount glue failure. As I have lots of EPO brushless planes on which I do hard maneuvers........the wings just flex and do not break. Due to crashes(dumb thumb, trees capturing my unsuspecting model airplanes and other obstacles acting like balsa magnets but never due to wing failure in flight) I have replaced a lot of broken fuselages which are harder to repair and are harder to camouflage the repair lines and repair joints.......but I have not replaced yet one single wing on my crashed planes........as long as the repair is done in proper alignment, the wing will perform well and decals or paint hide easily the repair joints and so my crashed planes fly with new fuselages but with repaired wings unreplaced. Anyway......to each his own. Different folks, different strokes. 'Nuff said.

The wingtip tank LED's are red on one side and green on the opposite side. The rudder tip LED is red. All the 3 LED's have wires already installed up to the connection of the wingtip tanks to the wing and the rudder LED red light wires already installed up to the bottom of the rudder................ready for fuselage extension wires and wing extension wires to be hooked up to a battery or to the receiver or to a stand alone light control module for flashing and blinking light action.........one can also install landing lights if one felt up to the additional trouble. 'Nuff said.

Well then looks like they forgot to do it on mine. I have the LEDS on the wingtip tanks and rudder but no wires coming out from either. I also got mine from NP as an RTF right around the same time you did.
I just got done cutting away the foam on the wingtip tanks to install the wiring only to find the LED contacts filled over with that sticky glue. Thx for the update.

Oh I know why his failed. I was not entirely relating to that. However you did mention the cartwheel portion and I will say that the F4F from Parkzone has a carbon tube running continuously from one wing to the next through the fuselage and several guys have cartwheeled that plane, dusted it off, and threw it back in the air. EPO is strong stuff indeed but it is still foam. One of the properties of foam is that as it flexes and ages it looses its composure. Similar to aluminum that the more you bend it, that area gets weaker and weaker. SO you have a plane that the wing flexes on regularly, it will eventually fail on you. Lets not forget that the areas for the retracts and flaps have already been removed and the foam bits are just double sided taped in there. Its nice that we don't have to cut those areas out for that and I am thrilled that they did it but it weakens the structural integrity of the wing.
I totally understand your reasoning and its not a bad thing, entirely. Its more or less a mind set. Your anticipating ease of repairs because you expect to crash. I don't expect to crash. I build or modify to suit the way I fly. The crashes handle themselves and when one happens I determine if its repairable or not and proceed in that chosen direction. It doesn't matter if it is a wing or a fuselage, they all repair the same. I am confident in my bodywork and painting ability that you will never know it happened. I know that not everyone is that way and yes it is truly a different strokes for different folks situation.
I still plan to do a fix list on this plane when it gets in. Philip from PW-RC.com gave me some tips on the retracts that need to be mentioned if any of you guys do the retracts and I plan to approach this plane from my building perspective to see if I can anticipate other failures other than the engine mounts/firewall. Just looking at pictures though it looks like the main retract area will need different mounting blocks and if the screws that hold the wing on are nylon those will need to be changed out so the wing can be removed for transport. I have a week and a half to ponder before it gets here.
Didn't know if you were noticing my icon of my micro P-51 but I reversed the picture - it just looked better, but based on the picture, it does look like I can't tell my left from my right!!!

Awesome flying plane!
It was a great day to go flying here in Arizona! Clear blue skies, very little breeze. So nice, I took most of the schoolyard flyers. Warmed up on the T-28 and A-7, then it was time to hand launch the 310. Modifications were as follows: No gear, one fiber washer (little thicker than a metal one) at the top of the motors, and sloflyer 8x6 props. Same Flightmax 3s 2200 20C battery. All controls set at neutral, CG at 55mm.
Flew right out of my friend's hands straight and level! Awesome flying plane! Tracks like it's on a string, very predictable, no weird gyrations at all. Brought it down low to the grass at full speed, no dips, no errors. Much snappier than with the 3-blade props. They look good for a static display, otherwise, tose them! I checked out wing flex by putting it through the usual acrobatics, and no flex! Really glad I installed that ply spar!
Landing on the grass was perfect. Didn't have the data logger in it, but after six minutes of fun flying, the battery read 11.4 volts. I am totally thrilled and satisfied with this plane! Sky King and Penny would be proud! I would say the closest single motor plane I could compare it's flying characteristics to is the PZ Corsair. And, much better than the Eflite P-38 I used to have! The only modification I would do at this point is to relieve the battery area to accept a 2500-2650 battery. Oh, and now I can fix the prop gashes in the fuselage from last weekend!
That's it guys! Go for it!

Adams to stay away from funeral
Gerry Adams will not attend the funeral of Old Bailey bomber Dolours Price, it has been confirmed.
The Sinn Fein president said he felt a deep sense of solidarity with her family but, would not be at the service in west Belfast.
Price, 62, an unrepentant republican hard-liner who fell out with Sinn Fein after the party endorsed the Northern Ireland peace process, encouraged the IRA to give up its guns and embraced power sharing with unionists at Stormont.
Mr Adams said: "I am very sad. I have known her for a very long time. For her sons Oscar and Danny there is nothing worse than losing your mother so his sisters, her brother, friends I want to also extend condolences.
"Dolours was a long time in prison in England but she also was force fed for over 200 days and when you consider that and her own personal trials and tribulations none of what has occurred in terms of her parting ways with Sinn Fein and what she has said should diminish, at all, her life."
Price was found dead at her home in north Dublin last Wednesday night. Gardai said they did not suspect foul play.
Hundreds of republicans from across Ireland are expected to descend on St Agnes Catholic in Andersonstown - the heartland of Mr Adams' former Westminster constituency. Burial will take place at the nearby Milltown Cemetery where republicans have a dedicated plot.
Price, the former wife of actor Stephen Rea, was convicted and jailed along with her sister for the 1973 attack on London's Old Bailey courts in which one man died and more than 200 people were injured.
She spent eight years in jail including several weeks on hunger strike before being released in 1980. In recent years she clashed with Mr Adams over her allegations that he had been her IRA Officer Commanding during the early 1970s.
Price consistently claimed that Mr Adams, now a Louth TD, had ordered the kidnap and killing of Jean McConville in 1972. The Catholic mother-of-10 was among dozens of people - later known as the Disappeared - who were abducted, murdered and secretly buried by republican militants during the Troubles. Mr Adams has always denied being a member of the IRA. He said he was saddened by Price's death.

Improbably, Silence Prevails As The Voice Awaits Its Sale; Time and Competition Erode Weekly's Sharp Profile
By GLENN COLLINS
Published: October 27, 1999
The Village Voice is for sale, but does anybody care?
The paper's scrappy union local has yet to stencil up a bundle of picket signs. Vitriolic petitions have not issued from the famously contentious staff. Corrupt politicians seem not to be gloating more than usual. Villainous landlords have not been caught cackling with glee. And thus far, even pundits have pretty much resisted bemoaning the end of an era since last month's announcement that Leonard N. Stern, the pet-food-and-real-estate magnate, is auctioning off The Voice and the six other alternative weeklies he owns.
''I was prepared for the staff to be concerned and nervous,'' said Donald H. Forst, 67, the former tabloid tough guy who, as Voice editor in chief, is perpetually spoiling for a fight. ''But I have heard not a peep.''
This is an improbable silence, given the superabundance of arias during the operatic past of The Voice.
''The entire staff walked out and told Murdoch that all he'd bought was a bunch of typewriters,'' said Richard Goldstein, an executive editor, who has survived four owners at The Voice since 1966. Mr. Murdoch, of course, relented.
But in its new niche as a profitable giveaway, the alternative weekly -- which turned 44 yesterday -- has attained a settled middle age. The Voice is no longer the ground zero of new trends as it was when baby boomers ruled the roost, back when its reportage was indivisible from the movements it covered. It was The Voice that broke news on the rock revolution, the stirrings of psychedelia, the Stonewall uprising and the radicalization of feminism; and it was The Voice that led the charge to bring down Edward I. Koch, Geraldine A. Ferraro and the W-free George Bush.
But the effects of time, generational change and intense competition have conspired to erode the once-sharp profile of the perennial house organ of the counterculture.
And in eschewing newsstands for freebie boxes, the paper that practically invented the modern concept of listings has in a sense become its listings, including the legendary ''Transgender Section'' (''looking for an attractive she-male to join me on my vacation''), not to mention page after page of ''Adult Bodywork'' notices.
''I think the rest of the journalism profession doesn't take us as seriously now because we went free,'' said the Voice's take-no-prisoners political reporter, Wayne Barrett.
And now the paper is competing with itself: dozens of its own writers and editors, in leaving The Voice, have carried its sensibility to mainstream newspapers, magazines and broadcast media.
''Once, The Voice was pushing the envelope, but now the envelope is as big as they are,'' said former Mayor Koch, who was actually the lawyer for The Voice in the early days, later became a mayoral punching bag for its writers and, most recently, posed with the Rev. Al Sharpton, his new ally, for a cover story by Peter Noel.
''They are still at the cutting edge, but so is everybody else,'' Mr. Koch added. ''There is not a thing they write about that you don't find in a mainstream paper.''
But Mr. Forst, who ran the late New York Newsday, asserts that The Voice offers superior coverage of everything from the arts to the city's new immigrant groups, and he insists that the weekly's impact is greater than ever because its circulation has more than doubled since it dropped its cover price. (The Voice is now free in all five boroughs.)
And its staff points with pride to its coverage of the Russian banking scandal and the fatal shooting of Amadou Diallo, and they proffer recent awards from the New York Press Club and the Society of Publication Designers.
Yet many within the news media say without a trace of malice that The Voice means less to them than ever. ''I find now that I leaf through it not expecting to find something that will lead to a follow-up by us,'' said Peter Landis, news director of the cable channel New York 1 News.
The Voice's coverage is no longer prime required reading in the run-up to the general election. The criterion for journalistic success ''is very simple,'' said Dr. Jay Rosen, a professor of journalism at New York University. ''Does anybody pick it up? I think that more stories in The Voice go unfollowed these days.''
Even Mr. Barrett -- the junkyard dog of city political reporters who has drawn blood from generations of elected officials, and not infrequently the wealthy friends of his publisher -- said that ''The Voice does not have as much political impact as it once did.''
Though he says he is proud of his recent journalistic provocations -- especially an influential 1998 revelation about Senator Alfonse M. D'Amato's attendance record in Nassau County that benefited his campaign rival, Charles E. Schumer -- ''now the soft stuff is up front,'' Mr. Barrett said, referring to the Voice's life style section. ''And we don't have as big a news hole'' for politics, he said.
The Voice is also battling rampant media fragmentation in its traditionally formidable gay constituency, as it is buzzed by the Internet and beset by print rivals like The New York Blade, Poz magazine and LGNY.

2009 Liquid Force S4 138
The S4 is a new and improved high performance version of the PS3 designed to be a consistently smooth and forgiving ride with more juice and firepower behind it than its predecessor. This is not little Phillips PS3, it is Pro Tour dominating Phil Sovens S4.

I have recently purchased this board after testing several other brands and models.I was completely blown away by its excellent performance and ease of use. The S4 is truly in a league of its own. Board is super light, has amazing pop of the wake and on cable. Superfast while maintaining a smooth and supersteady edge, which is very exceptional for a board with only molded fins.It produces very nice, soft and controlled landings. The board also has a very loose feel when flat on the water and has a very forgiving nature. An excellent choice for the intermediate to advanced rider who whishes to bring his riding skills to a new level.
Reviewer: Seager Marine
10/16/2008 12:00am
Most notable improvement was toeside edge on the S4. Seemed like most people I spoke too that rode the PS3 all said the toe side was too soft. Not the case here. I wish I had tried it in a bigger size but the S4 138 had a really fluid, really playful ride and with its variable rail could probably be ridden by anyone. By the way. I dont rate spins and inverts as a board trait. I kinda feel that is based on the rider mostly.

Deadly Little Lies, the follow-up to Deadly Little Secret, is scheduled to be released November 10, 2009, but I was lucky enough to get a copy on Saturday. Laurie's publisher was able to get 40 copies of the book at the local B&N for the signing. I haven't started reading it just yet because I'm swamped with school stuff, but I hope to start it soon.
Here's some tidbits that I remember from the Q&A:
- Prior to becoming published authors, Laurie was a business major and Megan had some well-known professors who were authors or involved in the industry (I distinctly remember her talking about her professor who is Leo Tolstoy's granddaughter and how she ripped her writing apart)
- Laurie tries to write 10 pages per week when she's working on something. Megan is a procrastinator and lets things simmer for a while
- Both women wrote about the Danvers State Hospital, an abandoned mental institute that was shut down in 1992 (Laurie-Project 17 & Megan-Sisters of Misery)
- Both use their Massachusetts roots in their stories
- Laurie's novel Bleed was written for an adult audience, but the publisher felt it fit better in the YA genre
- Laurie loves writing novels in a series and developing characters over several books
- Deadly Little Game, the third novel in the Touch series is already complete. It's still being edited, but is scheduled to be released around this time next year.
- Laurie only likes to give her characters 'powers' that she feels could exist in real life
- Blue is for Nightmares has been optioned to be a film, but nothing has come of it yet.
Check out Laurie's website and Megan's website and make sure you pick up Deadly Little Lies on November 10th.

Ask a Texas Heart Institute Doctor Informed patients make better patients.
How is diastolic dysfunction treated and what is the prognosis?
I have just received a diagnosis of Diastolic Dysfunction. What are the treatments and prognosis?
submitted by Marsha from Lillian, Alabama on 3/1/2012
by Texas Heart Institute cardiologist, Raymond F. Stainback, MD
Diastolic dysfunction is most often diagnosed on an echocardiogram which is an ultrasound study of the heart. It is also a diagnosis that can result from any number of different causes for decreased ability of the heart muscle to relax. This can be related to one or several of the following: part of the aging process, diabetes, hypertension, infiltrative disease of the heart (less common), valvular heart disease and coronary artery disease.
The treatment is usually directed at the underlying cause (which cannot be determined from your question). There is a tendency for patients with diastolic dysfunction to retain fluid and develop swelling (edema). Therefore, the addition of a diuretic is not uncommon to control symptoms (shortness of breath and edema). The heart with diastolic dysfunction does not operate well at increased heart rates, and in some cases drugs which can slow the heart a bit help and when hypertension or coronary artery disease is playing a role, ACE-I (angiotensin converting enzyme-inhibitors) is a useful class of drugs.
Prognosis is usually more related to the other underling disease processes than from diastolic dysfunction itself. When related to the aging process, the symptoms are usually mild and the prognosis is good.

Many handheld DPM code readers face challenges that can hinder production. For example, they are often slow and unstable, which can result in errors. Reading results may vary based on the operator's skills, and it is often difficult for users to determine the best settings. But Keyence has developed a solution to these common issues.
Its new SR-G100 Series Handheld DPM Code Reader offers unprecedented high-speed scanning and efficiency. Among the many advantages offered by the cutting-edge tool are high-speed and stable reading, as well as easy operation and configuration, overcoming many of the common challenges faced by handheld code readers.
High-speed scanning
The SR-G100 Series is capable of reading codes at remarkable speeds. This is possible thanks to the automatic selection of optimal lighting and multi-lighting control functions. The reader features polarizing illumination, which removes glare from metal, black, resin and more. It also features multi-angle lights and partial lighting for use on metal cylinders and cast surfaces.
Easy to use
The scanner is easily customized to the user's specifications. Automatic tuning is done just by pushing the function button and reading a code. In addition, it features an ergonomic shape and a centre of gravity design that encourages optimal positioning for each user. By naturally inducing flat positioning, the SR-G100 reduces the need to worry about variations between users, as well as variations in code marking styles. This makes it possible for anyone to perform stable reading.
The device's configuration software allows users to easily customize settings, with up to 12 different custom settings available. The user starts by simply selecting one of the connection interface options — USB or Ethernet connections — and then selecting a charging/ power method, with or without a rechargeable battery pack.
More details
The SR-G100 Series Handheld DPM Code Reader is wireless, and can be used on-site without the need for a PC. It is compatible with a variety of communication protocols, including EtherNet/IPTM and Profinet.

text: Hey everybody, I just made an observation. I've been loading 200 gr. hardcasts with 10 grain blue dot. Ok- I seat the bullets to 1.26 OAL-, then after I run them through the lee factory crimp die (one full turn for a tight crimp), the OAL grows to 1.27. I've been shooting this load for a long time now and don't have any problems with it, its a nice full power load, no pressure signs etc. I'm just wondering why in the heck it grows, and is a max oal of 1.27 going to harm my glock 20, I have a 6 inch wolf barrel by the way?
