- In either the month you join or the following month, qualify for the Bronze Consultant achievement level and get a free $40 gift certificate.
- In either the month you join or the following month, qualify for the Silver Consultant achievement level and get a free $100 gift certificate.
When you get access to our training site the day after you join, you'll learn how to reach those achievement levels to earn one, two, or all three certificates. Get all three and you'll have a total $150 in free Watkins food products, in honor of Watkins' 150th year. Cool!
And, Yes... Your Friends Can Do It, Too!
The day after you join, our team sets up a free website for you just like the one you're viewing now. You'll have your own link that you can use to send people to your site. And if they decide the business makes sense for them, too, they can join through your site and they'll be members of your team. If they join this month, they can get the $20 Gift Certificate free, just for joining... plus they'll have the opportunities to earn the $150 in additional gift certificates for themselves, just like you.
And, check this out, for each person who joins directly under you this month, YOU will get ANOTHER $20 gift certificate (that's in addition to the $20 certificate you'll get just for joining).
Start Today for the Most Benefit
Join today to get the most from this promotion. Then, when you get into our training site tomorrow, you'll be able to learn more about the New Consultant Action Challenge. If things don't work out for any reason during your first 30 days, you can get a full refund of your membership fee.

i have got read a comic about Jasmine where her tiger rajah met in on a circus another tiger Posted over a year ago
|more princess jasmine polls >>
|more princess jasmine answers >>
Hey guys! In this article, I will describe where Jasmine places on 5 of my lists regarding towards and relating to Disney Princesses. Here we go!
Most Heroic Disney Princess- 9th Place
I hate having to put her here. But the other DP's show more action and heroism than her, although she is heroic! Maybe is because of the fact that she is the deuteragonist of Aladdin. She saves Aladdin's life by exposing herself as the princess when she runs away so he won't be executed. She is also shown to be heroic when she tries to seduce Jafar so Aladdin could get the lamp. She is...
1.You get mad easily
2.You love tigers.
3.You dont judge people based on their apperances.
4.You are sassy and headstrong.
5.You are not afraid to tell it like it is.
6.You love Aladdin. ( both the character and movie)
7.You are clever and cunning.
8.You can be seductive at times.
9.You fail sometimes when you try to help.
10.You always want to help people.
11.You forgive people easily.
Princess Jasmine of Agrabah. Princess Jasmine. Jas. Jasmine. Aladdin's wife. Whatever you call her, Jasmine is the best Disney princess in my opinion. She has all the characteristics that I love. In this article, you will here from me exacly why I love this girl, and why she needs to be recognized more.
Jasmine's personality is one of the most unique out of all the DP's. She is sassy, independent, and hot-tempered, but she is also sweet, king, generous and cunning. There is not a moment where she is seen not standing up for herself.
I wrote an article about this subject for Belle and since that one was so much fun I figured I should write one for Jasmine aswell.
Before I begin I will say that I am a person who enjoys drawing clothes and designing clothes for my own characters and because of this I have started take a good look at different clothes inorder to get a better idea of what to and not to draw and this is why I will give my opinion on the clothes themselfes aswell.
Lets begin with the lowest on the list
Well, I know this movie was set a long time ago (Genie: "That outfit is sooo 3rd Century") but don't you think that Jasmine's at least a little bit young? At the start of the movie she is 15, 3 days from her 16th b'day. By the end of the movie she's 16. But by her confidence, looks and place in life I thought she was in her 20's!
So, I just think that by stating Jasmine as 15/16 they portrayed Aladdin as pretty young too :/
Yeah, well thats just my opinion. I think they should've said "You need to marry a prince by your 21st b'day" or something. :)
Here is another character article i hope you will enjoy it.
Jasmine is a princess that goes up and down in the popularity ranking so its difficult to say where she is in popularity.
She was designed by Mark Henn and he based her on someone he saw in a park with a long black mane and her facial features was based on his sister.
When her looks were set the director said that they had to redesign Aladdin so they whould fit together since she "blew him away."
JASMINE--The princess of Agrabah is my 1 favorite animated heroine. She is a true princess, knowing when to follow custom and when to defy it. Jasmine has a lot of dignity, but she also has a sense of humor. She knows what she wants and goes after it. Everything about her, from her look and dress and attitude, says "Arabian princess". Notice the way her black hair is shaped and how gracefully it moves. I love all of Jasmine's outfits. ROYAL is Jasmine's word. My favorite line--"Just...go...jump off a balcony!"
jasmine qoutes
10. "Then maybe I don't want to be a princess anymore!"
9. "I always get my man."
8. "I'm a fast learner."
7. "That was for ruining my wedding."
6. "Right--a prince like you. And every other stuffed-shirt, swaggering peacock I've met!"
5. "Unhand him--by order of the princess!"
4. "You were just playing with that over-dressed, self-absorbed Prince Achmed, weren't you?"
3. "And your beard is so...twisted."
2. "Never!"

MIDDLEBURY — In a Tuesday duel between high school softball teams enjoying solid springs, host Middlebury claimed 6-3 win over Mount Abraham, leaving both teams' records at 7-4.
The win avenged the Tigers' 14-6 loss at Mount Abe last spring that had continued the Eagles' recent success against MUHS.
Winning pitcher Lea Gipson, a junior who allowed two hits and five walks and struck out six, didn't have an exactly accurate memory of the 2008 score, but summed up the Tigers' feelings on Tuesday's win perfectly.
By JOHN FLOWERS
MIDDLEBURY — The developer of a proposed Staples store off Route 7 South has decided to stop pursuing the project through the Vermont Environmental Court process, thus ending a more than one-year effort that was staunchly challenged by some area residents and local businesses.
MIDDLEBURY — When the Vermont State Craft Center (VSCC) at Frog Hollow closed its doors early this year, the Middlebury area not only lost a gallery in which to display local artists' wares, but also a school at which students could learn how to create their own arts and crafts.
The past few months have seen a homeless VSCC offer some classes at temporary venues. But now five longtime VSCC associates have joined forces to create a new "Middlebury Studio School Inc." that they hope will fill the arts education void left by VSCC.
VERGENNES — Two decisions by Vergennes officials in the past two weeks brought a proposed 25-unit senior housing plan on Armory Lane closer to reality. The main applicants are Housing Vermont Inc. and the Addison County Community Trust.
On May 4, the city's development review board approved the plan for the housing, which includes a library, a "country kitchen area" that could host 40 people, and an activity area large enough for 60 people.
VERGENNES — In a fast-paced, well-pitched baseball game at Vergennes Union High School on Saturday punctuated by good defensive plays, two mistakes by the host Commodores allowed U-32 to take a 2-0 victory.
The Raiders, whose college-scouted pitcher, Corey Johnson, tossed a tidy three-hitter, improved to 7-2. The Commodores, whose senior hurler Adam Flynn allowed just two unearned runs, saw their three-game winning streak snapped and dropped to 7-5.
MONTPELIER — State Sen. Claire Ayer used an apt metaphor on Tuesday in describing the 2009 legislative session.
By KATHRYN FLAGG
MIDDLEBURY — As Middlebury College students dove into final exams, college officials this week unveiled a second round of major budget cuts made necessary by dwindling donations and a $300 million hit that the institution's endowment has taken in the recent economic downturn.
ADDISON COUNTY — It's not just bricks-and-mortar bookstores — which have long faced competition from online booksellers like Amazon.com — that are in trouble these days.
Books themselves could be on the way out.
Last week's tech buzz swirled around the Kindle DX, Amazon's electronic reader that some technology enthusiasts predict could mean the death of the book as we know it.

Bella Via
Salvatore Pollito is a pie man, no two ways about it. Ten years ago he opened a solid slice joint in Queens. Then, when he felt he had mastered the art of the slice, he decided to tackle coal-fired, brick-oven pizza, inspired by his many ttips to Totonno's and Patsy's. He has done that successfully at Bella Via, which, with its brick walls and big windows, is one of the more cheerful pizzerias I have come across.
Pollito had a local guy build the oven at Bella Via, and tucked it into the back of the place in full view of the salivating patrons, who watch as he turns out beautiful pies. Pollito uses low-moisture, slightly aged mozzarella, Italian tomatoes, and fine locally sourced sausage on his pies. His crust is fairly thin, bready, and soft and doesn't have much chew to it.

Nava Getting Movie Offers
It's been two weeks since Daniel Nava hit a grand slam on the first pitch he ever saw in a big league game and his life story just keeps getting better and better.
(photo courtesy of Kelly O'Connor)
Heading into Saturday's game in San Francisco, Nava is batting .326 with 7 doubles, 1 HR, and 10 RBI in his first 12 games with Boston and he's the first Red Sox player since Mo Vaughn in 1991 to reach base in his first 12 major league games.
By now, the basic details of his remarkable story are well-known . . . too small to play a significant role on his high school team . . . two years as a team manager in college before a growth spurt allows him to play . . . overlooked in the draft despite starring at Santa Clara . . . MVP in the independent Golden Baseball League . . . contract purchased by the Red Sox for a buck . . . hits everywhere he plays in the minors . . . the toast of Red Sox Nation.
Even with that surplus of incredible material, it seems that we learn another great nugget about Nava every day including this gem from today's San Jose Mercury News:
When Daniel Nava picked up the first and only hit of his junior season at St. Francis High School, his coaches considered it such a momentous occasion that they gave the ball to his parents as a memento.
Over the last few weeks, I've heard more than one person say, "They should make Daniel Nava's story into a movie."
Guess what, it might happen.
Daniel's father Don joined us on Saturday's episode of "PawSox Insider" and I asked him if they've received any movie offers.
"A lot," Don told me. "Even before the last few weeks, people have told me it would be a great movie. I agree because it's the 'Rudy' story except that Daniel has talent and Rudy was only in for a couple of plays at Notre Dame. There have been several movies offers – in fact, the first week that Daniel was with Boston, I had two people approach me within five minutes of each other."
If a movie actually gets made, Don Nava hopes that it helps inspire people to do what Daniel did and follow their dreams.
"The great thing about it is that it could be like the movie 'Blind Side' – how can our lives be used to impact people's lives and bring hope to people who have lost hope," Don Nava said. "Maybe they put their dreams on the shelf and now they dust them off and say, 'Look at that Daniel Nava – he can do it, why can't I do it?' That would be the best thing about a movie. His story would be told and could potentially inspire people who have lost hope."
I'm thinking that the movie will be called "Grand Slam – the Daniel Nava Story." Hoard and Hyder are hoping to play ourselves.
* * * * *
The PawSox will have Josh Reddick back on the lineup on Saturday as they face Syracuse at 7:00. I hope you'll join us for radio coverage beginning with the pre-game show at 6:45 on the PawSox radio network and pawsox.com.
I'd love to hear from you. Please take a moment to tell me who you are and where you're from in the comments section or you can e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Dandelions and Bad Hair Days: Untangling lives affected by depression and anxiety was published on 10th October 2012. Regular readers of my blog will know that many of the pieces in that book started life as guest posts on the 'mental health monthly' guest slot here on No Wriggling and I am proud to say that we are now well into our second print run and selling well on Amazon, via the publisher's website and on the book's own site at www.dandelionsandbadhairdays.wordpress.com.
In a radio interview I did for BBC Somerset I was asked whether I was planning a second volume. My answer – other than 'let us sell lots of the first first!' was 'perhaps'. I am of course reliant on the wonderful people who are willing to put their mental health stories 'out there' and I have been commissioned to write a social history book on mental health after the First World War, which must take precedence. However, in the meantime I thought it would be wonderful to continue to highlight all the stories that are already on the net and the websites and blogs that offer the opportunity for people to share experiences and become part of something positive, as one reviewer of DABHD has said about the effect the book had on them:
"It makes me think about it like people from lost tribes having found each other, or having found the thread that connects them"…..
So here is a great piece written by Trish Hurtubise, the Founder and Editor of Mental Health Talk, a website that she describes as 'an eclectic collection of stories and wisdom from people who experience mental health issues'. I came across it quite by chance via Twitter and as someone who experiences depression and crippling anxiety I felt really supported by Trish's approach to publishing the words of people for whom getting their voice heard is one step towards recovery. I am thrilled that she has agreed to tell her story for No Wriggling.
The "Normal versus Me" Conflict
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
~ Iris, Goo Goo Dolls
More than anything I want to be "normal".
I mean more than anything I want to be me.
I mean… what do I mean?
The "normal versus me" conflict is the fuel that pushes my hippy van down my road of life. This conflict has become more apparent during my on-going experience with mental illness.
They're wrong
I was diagnosed with Complex Post traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD) in 2008.
My main trauma occurred in early 2007 so before the diagnosis I had lots of time to enhance my mental health experience by:
- slipping into psychosis where it was possible to be cured if I could only outsmart the dark mass of insanity that was eating me from the inside out;
- spiralling deeper into depression each time reality slapped me with a reminder that my symptoms continued to persist, regardless of the alternative, paranormal, or self-help tricks I tried to fix me;
- fighting the constant anxiety, made fun by spikes of terror, that accompanied the belief my soul was dying with each new and/or fluctuation in my symptoms.
You may think that was the worst of it. It wasn't.
What frightened me most was:
- the constant vertigo;
- the sensation like I was floating; and
- the chronic tension in my shoulders, arms, neck, and face that resulted in the weirdest bodily sensations imaginable.
I hated my body for betraying me.
To add to my agenda for the day, I experienced:
- every type of hallucination possible;
- gruesome visions of my death;
- severe sensory overload;
- hyper-vigilance to my body, mind and environment;
- fainting spells when reading seemingly benign words…
The list goes on.
I could not fathom spending the rest of my life with these symptoms.
And to give me that warm-fuzzy feeling, when I relayed these symptoms to my mental health team all I would get is "uh-huh".
I concluded my C-PTSD diagnosis was some general category used when nobody really knew what was going on. How could they? I felt I was the only one in the world experiencing these symptoms.
So I ignored them and focused on the psychosis, anxiety and depression. It was easier to articulate these more normal common mental health issues anyway.
All the other stuff made me feel like a freak in a world that did not understand.
Love, gratitude, connection and… there's that conflict again!
The medication helped me to face reality and I became open to new ways of looking at my mental health and life.
With the help of a wonderful therapist, I started to practice self-love and compassion. This is a continuing process of course, but I attribute the initial leaps in my recovery to this practice.
I also practiced gratitude—it was a bit of a fake-it-'til-you-make it process but soon I felt genuine gratitude and love for the smallest of things.
I began to do what I loved; my creativity spiked and I used any excuse to draw, design or produce.
I started a website called Mental Health Talk as a platform for others to tell their experiences and share their wisdom. It was during the initial stages I realized I had found my tribe. I felt more and more connected each day because of the wonderful people I worked with on the project.
So at this point in 2011, the psychosis was no longer a threat, the depression had lifted, and the anxiety was manageable (most of the time).
I appeared to others to be relatively "normal" and with that came the expectation that I would have the tolerance, mental capacity, and physical fitness to carry on a "normal" life (or was it me who had this expectation?)
But I didn't. All the "freakish" symptoms were still around and they continued to limit me from achieving the life I once had (my measuring stick for normalcy) and the life I now wanted (full of love, peace and creativity).
Okay, maybe they were right and I was.. let's just get on with the story
Near the end of 2011, I was working with my psychiatrist to fill out my disability application and I recognized through her answers, I was experiencing flashbacks.
It wasn't until May 2012, through using Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), I felt compelled to look up the symptoms of PTSD.
The first line on the website was "PTSD is a normal reaction to an abnormal experience".
You mean it wasn't because of weakness I wasn't able to handle the traumatic events in my life? Or my inability to just get over it?
Another revelation occurred when I read most of my "freakish" symptoms under the C-PTSD category.
Since then, a world of possibility has opened up for me. For the first time I have been told I have a chance at full recovery given the time, resources and courage.
The more I read about other's stories and the research on PTSD, the more I recognize myself in this moment:
- my brain has been rewired by what I feel I need to believe to survive given my traumatic experiences; and
- my symptoms are part of the autonomic nervous system's freeze response, hence the need for somatic work like EFT.
And yes, I still have most of my "freakish" symptoms though they are becoming less freaky as I learn to stop dissociating from my body so much.
Being present and grounded can be really challenging when you don't feel safe but it is so worth it to be fully engage in all my life experiences (even the "negative" ones).
This is what I consider to be a good life.
So I am shifting. I no longer want the life I had before the trauma.
I envision a future life where I use the skills and gifts that I love to fully express my true nature in a way that serves others—skills and gifts that came to light through this journey.
The conflict still exists. I sometimes step more into who I am and I will get a sign from my body I am moving too fast as my primitive brain reminds me: "normal is safe and everything else means die".
The difference now is I listen to and honour my body because feeling safe is a big part of recovery. I use this feedback to gauge the size of step I can. At turtle speed, I am making progress without pushing myself into mental and physical distress like I did when fixing was my focus.
You see my mental health disorder is not some blip in my life I need to fix and put behind me. It is one of many on-going life experiences empowering me to dispel old beliefs and be who I am.
And I'll let you in on a little secret: my desire and passion to be who I am is going to win out.
Just wait and see.

Are used appliances 'greener'?
What's the better deal for your pocketbook and the environment: a new major appliance or a refurbished one?
Several consumers who recently replaced washers and dryers told our research team that they bought used because those models might last just as long as new ones and that reusing is a good "green" practice.
One couple said that when their 20-year-old washing machine finally died, they were disappointed when the brand-new replacement lasted only five years. Instead of taking a chance on another new model, they spent $250 on a used model they figure will last at least as long as a new one.
Another consumer bought a refurbished dryer for $200 rather than spend $1,000 on a unit she believed would last no more than the 10 years she expects her used unit to remain reliable.
To these people, and others like them, buying used saves the green in wallets while eliminating the need to use resources to make a new washer or dryer.
Highly rated appliance repair pros tell our team that new appliances tend to have about half the life span of past models. Reasons they cite include the use of cheaper raw materials and a greater reliance on computerized systems.
So if it's time for you to replace a major appliance, particularly a washer or drier, consider whether a refurbished model might be a good value, and find a local shop that's gotten good consumer reviews on a trusted online site.
Before you buy new:
• Consider a unit's EPA Energy Star rating, but also how long it's expected to last.
• Research possible features and decide before shopping which ones you actually need.
After you buy, whether new or used:
• Avoid overloading a washing machine; heavy or off-balance loads can cause damage. Empty pockets of coins, pens and other items that can damage the machine. Be sure to use the recommended type and amount of soap.
• Clean the dryer's lint screen before every load and periodically have the machine's workings and vent cleaned. If your dryer takes longer than an hour to dry a standard-sized load, vent cleaning — at $100 or less, usually — could make it run like new.
• Don't neglect appropriate maintenance. Find a reputable appliance repair service through recommendations from family, friends and users of a trusted online review site.

Wimbledon fans got an entertaining show from a tennis senior citizen and a big sigh of relief from their top-seeded men's player here Wednesday.
Novak Djokovic, who won here in 2011 and lost in the final to Andy Murray last year, was cruising on Centre Court with a two-set lead against an aging opponent.
But when 35-year-old Radek Stepanek of the Czech Republic got the third set into a tiebreaker, things got dicey for the Serb star. He held a 5-3 lead in the tiebreaker and squandered that. He held a 5-2 lead, and had two serves, in the fourth-set tiebreaker and nearly did the same.
As the match became more hotly contested, Stepanek lunged all over the court, falling about every third or fourth point. On the BBC broadcast, one commentator couldn't resist the stock line, each time Stepanek sprung back to his feet.
"The Czech bounced again," he said.
When Stepanek wasn't falling, he was challenging line calls and failing. He finally got the Hawkeye camera to agree with him and raised his arms in gratitude. The crowd loved it and the tide of emotion and affection seemed to be turning Stepanek's way.
There was something for everybody in this match. At one key point late in the match, in a show of sportsmanship, Djokovic had the opportunity to replay a point when the Hawkeye reversed a baseline call. Instead, he conceded the point to Stepanek, which is his option, and said later that he will do that if it is clear he had no play on the ball.
Djokovic, who doesn't normally play lead-up tournaments on grass before Wimbledon and didn't this time, started to look like a man in wingtips on an ice rink. Somehow, he got it to match point and served at 6-5 of the tiebreaker.
But the dramatics weren't over.
In the stands, pulling hard for Djokovic, was the last top-seeded men's player to lose in the second round. That was Boris Becker in 1987. Becker is now Djokovic's coach.
On his 6-5 match point, Djokovic got the ball in play and Stepanek worked his way to the net. Djokovic cranked a cross-court forehand passing shot and it was close, but called out.
Now, it was Djokovic's turn to put his fate in the hands of Hawkeye. He challenged the call. If the camera showed his shot touching the line, he had won the match. If not, the Stepanek show would continue, possibly even for a fifth-set of agony for the top-seeded star.
Stepanek, perhaps playing his last match on Wimbledon's Centre Court, or at Wimbledon, knelt near the line and put his hands together in prayer.
Again, the crowd loved it. Djokovic appreciated it later.
"He's an entertainer," the Serb said.
He was also defeated. Hawkeye showed the ball touching about a half an inch of the line. Game, set, match and deep sigh of relief for Djokovic.
The final score was 6-4, 6-3, 6-7 (5), 7-6 (5).
"I was aware of his abilities," Djokovic said, probably hoping that no one noticed he had won 10 of their previous 11 meetings. "He is a quality player on grass and he was reading my passing shots well.
"I'm just glad I hung in there mentally."
The British crowd would not have been that entertained had it been Murray undergoing the squeeze from Stepanek. Murray had no trouble advancing, as he looks for a second straight Wimbledon title that would trigger semi-delirium here. He beat Blaz Rola of Slovakia, 6-1, 6-1, 6-0.
One top men's player, No. 7 David Ferrer was ousted in five sets by Russia's Andrey Kuznetsov. The Spaniard had reached the quarterfinals the last two years.
No. 6 Tomas Berdych advanced, as did No. 11 Grigor Dimitrov.
In women's singles, former No. 1 and two-time Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka of Belarus, seeded No. 8, was stunned by Bojana Jovanovski of Serbia. No. 2 Li Na, No. 4 Agnieszka Radwanska, No. 6 Petra Kvitova, a former Wimbledon champion, and No. 30 Venus Williams, a five-time winner here, all got through to the next round in straight sets.
A match between France's 14th-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Southern California's Sam Querrey was called because of darkness at 9:24 p.m. They had been on the court for 3 hours 21 minutes and were tied at 8-8 in the fifth set.

Hello Bruno,
I wonder if you plan to add some features of C++11 into standardized Bouml user interface (dialogs). E.g. support for constructor initializer lists or templates.
joan wrote:for example in Attribute dialog it would be nice, if C++ tab could contain checkbox "Use initializer list". If checked, the inital value from UML tab would be placed in class constructor definiton in appropriate form
constructor() : attribute(init_value)
instead of direct attribute initialization in header file.
joan wrote:I am not sure how to work with templates in BOUML. Maybe there is a way how to handle them but I am new to BOUML and I have not found the proper way yet. Maybe some kind of stereotype with correct code generation?
joan wrote:BTW it would be really nice if the user could define stereotype with customized code generation.
joan wrote:Anyway, after 3 weeks of searching and working with various free UML tools I can say the BOUML is the best tool I have found. Good work!

Review DaySeptember 04, 2003
Sitepoint Forums contest winners announced, under-the-hood changes recently made around here.
A Design Review
Sitepoint Forums ran a CSS design contest recently, inspired by the Zen Garden. The entries are in, and some are great.
I don't know what the official contest policy is on the original designers re-using these, but Patrick H. Lauke's example design Gothic found its way into the Zen Garden as Gothica so I'm inclined to think it'll be alright.
That being said, Ray Henry with his fabulous reh3 and even more fabulous Deadend Prophecy had better get in touch with me after the results are in. That is, if, for some very very strange reason he doesn't sweep the contest. You may remember Ray's existing Zen Garden design Backyard. Beautiful work, all three. §
A Technical Review
With any luck, you haven't noticed: I've been doing a lot of tweaking under the hood around here, and I think it's about time to mention a few things.
I'm now employing Pixy's absolutely brilliant CSS rollovers on the right. Where before there was a slight blink as the image loaded upon first mouseover, now there's a completely seamless transition.
5.0 browsers should handle this site a little better. IE5/Win was never much of a problem, but there are still a few tiny little quirks yet. IE5/Mac was a complete disaster, and thanks to some help from Alicia Lane (and a gentle nudge to actually do something about it), I've sanitized the majority of the blast radius. There are still problems, but at the very least it's somewhat usable now.
Search is (finally) coming. I have to do some major work on the templates, but I've got the functionality started. Now to figure out where to put it.
Cynthia Says thinks my front page passes all the major checkpoints for AAA. Bobby doesn't. I know there are still outstanding issues regardless, and a good read-through of WCAG is going to help me fix them, but I'm moving in the right direction.
It should be noted that the errors reported by Bobby are questionable:
Do not use the same link phrase more than once when the links point to different URLs.As Ken Walker has recently discovered and Jukka Korpela analyzed in further detail, it should be possible to provide a
titlefor each link and satisfy this requirement. That doesn't work.
Separate adjacent links with more than whitespace.Cynthia says I'm doing this. Bobby says I'm not. The rejected markup is my headers, which look like so:

Plugins & <object> - Illegal?
If I'm doing something wrong here, I'm all ears. But I don't think it's me.
Make sure event handlers do not require use of a mouse.Well this is just plain silly. There's not an iota of script on my front page.
Cynthia gets them right. However, since those of us who spend the time doing it right like to make mention of it, Cynthia's inability to directly link validation results for any given site continues to be a problem. There's a very important point that should be made in here about not trusting software anyway since the guidelines need a human eye for complete validation, but I'm getting verbose as it is.
After publishing a piece on bulletproof XHTML, I obviously had to start thinking about the issue myself. You might be pleased to note that most pages on this site, including the comments pages are validating. The current plan is to 'flip the switch' and trigger XML rendering mode in a few weeks, after I've had time to convert old content and make sure I've got my error-correcting working properly. There will be a follow-up piece on how I went about it at that time.
Up until now I was marking up all my
<acronym>s by hand. Thanks to Brad Choate's plugins and Mark Pilgrim's macros, I don't need to anymore. Interesting note about the use of abbreviations on a page: WCAG suggests providing a title for an
 when it first occurs in the document. It doesn't say you can't do the same for other occurances, but it suggests you don't need to.
No problem, that's the exact behaviour of the plugin. But it begs the question — even though I'm not applying titles to repetitions, do I need to markup the rest of the occurances with the proper tags? My gut feeling is that I do, but the plugin doesn't allow that. So I'm at an impasse here: More work for me, vs. proper semantics. Hmmm.
And yes, I know the difference between
<acronym> and
, and no I won't use the latter until IE supports it. End of question.
If you've made it through all that, my final point is that this site still looks the same as it did last week. Ever get the feeling that sometimes you have to wear too many hats? §
Reader Comments
I personally think that if you can achieve a good balance between Cynthia and Bobby, you're doing very well, but what do I know? :-)
Dave — many congratulations on the recent improvements. I know how time-consuming they can be, so very nicely done.
Dave: "And yes, I know the difference between <acronym> and , and no I won't use the latter until IE supports it."
You could always use: CSS
Yes, it is true that we are introducing semantically meaningless mark-up, however, IMHO, semantically meaningless mark-up is preferable to using semantically incorrect mark-up.
In a real-world sense it doesn't really make a difference that you are marking up abbreviations incorrectly (in 2003) but assuming that one of your goals is to "future-proof" this site, who can really say how the "browsers of tomorrow" will interpret the tag. Abbreviations should be spelled-out while acronymns read-out, right?
Note: I am just playing "devil's advocate" (hypocrite) here, as I also use the ACRONYM tag for everything on my site ;)
I find constant use of the acronym and abbr tags annoying. Use them for the first occurrence of each term and then move on. Most of your readers already know what they mean, so the extra underlined text just muddies up your paragraphs. Those who don't know what they mean can read the title the first time, and then they know.
Think of it too just like in a newspaper article or movie review:
"Bruce Wayne (Michael Keaton) is a billionaire playboy by day and Batman by night[…]" - you don't keep reminding your readers that Michael Keaton plays the part, you just do it it once.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had this to say[…]" - the first time you use the term you provide the acronym, and then you just use the acronym from then on.
re: MikeyC's suggestion
Due to Anne's nudging, I implemented a similar change to MT Macros:
My MT Macros source code is available on our Templates page, if you want to check it out.
re: "Separate adjacent links with more than whitespace."
Believe it or not, I think that Bobby's making a stink over the  tag list item that comes immediately before your linked header. I had this come up, ironically, in the Section 508 entry. Bobby interprets whitespace as anything (carriage returns, spaces, combinations thereof, etc.) between two  tags, even if one is in an unordered list and the other is in a header. Kinda silly. My workaround for this issue was to put a small dot (·) around my "posted" links to seperate them from the blog content.
"Thanks to Brad Choate's plugins and Mark Pilgrim's macros,…"
Ugh! That's an ugly hack. Why not use the Acronym Plugin
I'd use it myself, but for the fact that I *have* decided to distinguish between  and <acronym> and have not gotten around to hacking support for that into the code.
One more possible solution:
Styling  in IE
Pretty neat though…
The distinction between abbr and acronym _is_ important. Although some people think not, it is. Acronym's are "always" words so you could style them:
And abbr is most of the time just a "normal" abbreviation:
And you should make distinction and don't code to a browser. We don't code for Jaws, why would we code for IE?
shhh… my hats shield me from the aliens' mind-control rays and wards off bad web developers.
Character Entities (spaces introduced, as I don't know how they'll show up).
I don't know what Safari doesn't like about your changes, Dave, but it now shows your last two section icons as:
& sect;
rather than displaying the character. I guess it would prefer & #167;
I had thought entity "names" were only a problem for it in XML parsing mode but apparently not. However, it handles the section-sign entities in the comments section OK. Nevertheless, in Ethan's comment I get:
& mdash;
rather than an em-dash (& #8212;)
Let me add: this is not a complaint about your wonderful site of any sort. I just thought it was interesting.
The CSS rollovers are excellent, thanks for bringing them to my attention :)
Anne: "Acronym's are always words so you could style them…And you should make distinction and don't code to a browser"
True. As well, these "browsers of tomorrow" may have unique 'default' behaviours when encountering unstyled ACRONYMS and ABBR tags, so it definitely makes sense to use them correctly, as CSS may be turned off/unavailable in the device.
Jacques - despite some frequent Googling on the subject, I wasn't aware of that plugin. Dammit all anyway.
Anne - "And you should make distinction and don't code to a browser." Yes, you're right, we shouldn't. But here's where real-world and theory diverge. IE5/6 is still run by ~90% of the population last time I checked; we throw box model hacks in our CSS, and so we also use acronym. Theory is nice only so far as it doesn't break expected behaviour for the *majority* of your audience.
Michael - not Safari: bad macros. I have no idea why, but it keeps flipping back and forth between rendering those §s properly, and not. Theoretically I've solved this problem, but for whatever reason these pages keep reverting.
All of your readers will know the abbreviations. You know you only put it there for markup reasons, not for accessibility or anything like that.
So if you put them there, make sure you do it right. IMO you can better use abbr than acronym.
Besides that there are certain JavaScript 'hacks/workaround' or you could pust put in a useless span (just like CSSZenGarden ;)).
Anne–Dave's reasoning strikes me as more than sound, and I'm not just saying that 'cause that's how I code on sidesh0w. Obviously, the distinction between what we *should* be coding and what we're forced to support is one we need to be mindful of.
Otherwise, you and I would be serving our sites as application/xhtml+xml to all user agents, rather than making exceptions for Internet Explorer. ;)
Anne, you're assuming too much. From an e-mail I received this morning, for example:
"I've been looking around your sites for a wee while now… I'd been avoiding css, under the impression that it was browser dependent and would cause problems with text-only browsers and visually impaired users. I see I dont need to worry anymore."
Not to single out this person specifically, but e-mails like this tell me I have people reading my site of all levels of skill and knowledge. Making blanket statements about what some will or won't understand is a dangerous precedent.
I'm not opposed to hacks, but Javascript seems the wrong way to go about it to me. Perhaps I'll consider a span approach. Perhaps not. Maybe I'll just drop the /<acronym> approach altogether and go with naked spans!
Point being, there's no obsequious way to do it in 2003, thanks to IE. Can we move on?
You miss the point that IE users won't see the tooltip either ;).
I should have known that, people are learning CSS, 'cause of you :).
The JavaScript hack can be described as ugly, but it serves you IE users, doesn't it?
Surely having unstylable abbr tags in IE is not a problem huge enough to use the incorrect acronym tag instead?
So your XHTML's and your CSS's don't have the dotted underline! If users of IE care so much about such a minor detail, why are they using it in the first place.
I don't think pandering to a browser's needs should take the place of correct coding in a case where such a minor effect is seen. The BMH solves a possibly major layout issue. Unstyled abbr's are a minuscule affair in comparison.
Maybe I'm missing a point here but this seems to me like a no brainer.
Just so ya know Dave, im running XP pro with IE 6 and i still get a blink on your new mouseovers… is this an isolated case or have other people found this as well ?
Marc - to quote another: 'when in doubt, reload.' You've got cached stylesheets, no doubt.
Re: Comments 19 & 20.
Actually, if you have changed your cache settings to "every time" or "always" (excuse the fuzziness, I'm on a Mac so this is second hand info) as developers are wont to do then you'll still have the blink. The default setting of "automatically"doesn't suffer from this visual stutter though.
Re: Comment 13.
With a little tinkering, I have fixed the acronym plugin for MT to produce correct acronym/abbr markup (title supplied with first instance; subsequent instances are marked up, but without title).
And (with the usual crufty Javascript hacks) it works in IE.
I'll write it up and post the code in a couple of days.
A bit late comment, but ahwell… :) Here's a nice javascript-less solution to make ABBR work in IE!

I know I have one leak. What concerns me is if they fix that leak, how do you know there is not a weak joint somewhere else ready to go in the near future after it installed?I never knew too much about radiators and just watched a couple of videos on how they are constructed. Will a radiator shop re-solder all the joints, freshening them up and making them as strong as new again?When they re-core a radiator, what do they actually replace? Are only the tanks re-used and everything else new?Thanks.....Dave

Old-age care - relatives 'at the mercy' of homes
Chris Bateman
The nursing supervisor of a Rondebosch frail care annexe and two nurses who failed to follow or record explicit doctor instructions to halve a warfarin dose and stop administering sedatives to a vulnerable 91-year-old were suspended last month - more than 3 years after the offence.
Mrs Madge Morkel, discharged from Kingsbury Hospital to the Gordon Greene Annexe of the Fairmead Retirement Home, on 13 June 2008, died of acute liver failure 8 months later, causing the Nursing Council's Professional Conduct Committee to speculate as to whether the dismal care she received contributed to her death. Annexe Supervisor, Mr Fikile Caleni, of Crawford, a registered nurse with psychiatry, community and midwifery qualifications, was suspended by the committee for 2 years, this sentence suspended conditionally for 3 years. He was found guilty of improper and disgraceful conduct in that he 'wilfully or negligently' failed to carry out acts in respect of collaborating, co-ordinating and advocating for the care of the patient, failed to keep clear and accurate records of all actions performed and failed to administer medication as prescribed.
Annexe manager 'unapologetic
Unlike the two long-serving nurses whom the Nursing Council decided to prosecute, (Michelle Finnies of Zeekoevlei found guilty of the first two charges above and Sister Magdalene Thai, of Steenberg, found guilty of all three charges above), Caleni expressed neither regret nor proffered apologies to Mrs Morkel's two daughters. He had a long-standing adversarial relationship with both daughters, Mrs Jeanne Welsh and Mrs Marichien Schimmel, who, after a litany of complaints, succeeded in having the Cape Peninsula Organisation for the Aged (CPOA) remove him from his post and placed elsewhere. Caleni accused them of 'trying to undermine him' by complaining (inter alia) that their mother was seldom bathed, smelt of urine and that a foul-smelling wound on her leg went unnoticed and untreated (requiring plastic surgery). A 03h40 fall from her bed on 8 June 2008 in which she broke 3 ribs was reported to them (only), more than 7 hours later, they testified. A paucity of evidence led to the Nursing Council acquitting the accused trio of failing to create a safe environment for Mrs Morkel and failing to inform her doctor when her condition worsened. The nurses were, however, each suspended from practising for 2 years, this sentence suspended for 2 years. The trio had pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Committee chairperson and head of the nursing school at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, Professor Busisiwe Benghu, apologised to the Morkel family (and the public at large) on behalf of the Nursing Council, saying nurses were 'supposed to monitor, care and advocate' for their patients. She commended the Morkel daughters for 'coming forward', saying global literature indicated that families were generally not informed of adverse events. She added that she 'hoped' other family members of the elderly and vulnerable would learn from their example. When promised standards were not delivered, the public should be offered 'an apology, a full explanation and a speedy and effective remedy'. Professor Benghu said it was 'most disturbing' to find a family taking the initiative for patient care rather than the professionals employed to do so. (The two daughters employed a private caregiver to bathe, monitor and care for their mother after losing faith in staff at the home, as did other relatives of patients at the home). At the time (2008), the Fairmead Annexe was charging its frail-care residents R8 805 per month.
Alarming INR levels
The committee heard that Mrs Morkel, who was in the early stages of senile dementia, was admitted to hospital three times, each time receiving plasma and blood transfusions. After Kingsbury Hospital treatment (for broken ribs, underlying pneumonia and a blood INR count of 10) began on 8 June 2008, she was discharged on 13 June, her doctor having reduced her prescription of 5 mg warfarin to 2.5 mg with instructions to halt any warfarin dosage on that day plus all sedatives until further instructions. The daughters said they took the new prescription to Caleni, reading it through with him and confirming with him that 2.5 mg warfarin meant half a pill, handing him the script with the full instructions. However, a week later the daughters noticed that their mother's INR levels were again nearly 5 times higher than normal. They confronted Caleni who denied any overdosage. He claimed that although he was off-duty on the weekend of 7/8 June, he had passed on the new drug prescription instructions to his colleagues, telephoning Sister Thai (who told an earlier CPOA hearing she couldn't remember the call). Both nurses declined to take the stand at the council hearing but told an earlier CPOA enquiry that, not having any new prescription to go by, they continued the full warfarin dose for 4 days, recording it as such. The committee heard (via the earlier enquiry) that after coming on duty that Monday and speaking to Mrs Morkel's family, Finnies simply wrote 'new prescription' in the medical record.
The previous day, Sister Thai had initially forgotten the night sisters' injunction to inform the family of Mrs Morkel's fall. At the CPOA hearing, Caleni produced patient medication records for May instead of June in what Mrs Morkel's daughters claim was a deliberate attempt to mislead (a half-dose of warfarin was recorded on identical days in May).
In an anxious letter addressed to the CPOA head office as early as 10 October 2007, Dr Alan Wood described his patient Mrs Morkel's situation as 'intolerable' and needing prompt attention. He expressed concern at her level of care, explaining that she had been 'living very happily at Fairmead Court' when it became unsafe because of her declining cognition and ability to self-medicate. Her INR went up to 8.8 and she ended up in hospital needing transfusion. As a result of this, she was moved to the Annexe so that she could have her tablet-taking supervised. Unfortunately the (mal)administration of the tablets continued - without monitoring of the INR - and Mrs Morkel again required ICU admission and 6 units of blood, he wrote.
Complaints mounting up
Mr Frans Nkosi, who led evidence for the Nursing Council, confirmed that complaints against Mr Caleni by relatives of another former Annexe resident, the late Mrs H Mulock-Houwer, would result in a hearing early next year. The complaint, which predates the Morkel case by over 3 months, centres on alleged rough handling by staff and massive bruising found on Mrs Mulock-Houwer's upper arms and a serious gash on her forearm.
Her daughter, Mrs Fenja Clarke of Newlands, says her mother, then 91, was 'terrified' of the nursing staff and claims Caleni not only intimidated her private caregiver, but failed to properly probe the cut when reported, failed to ensure proper reporting or call a doctor, and failed to ensure staff were adequately trained to enable the handling of patients without causing injury. Nkosi told Izindaba that it was 'not normal' for nursing professional conduct matters to take so long to be heard but 'legal wrangling' in 2008/2009 over whether council could proceed with cases while regulations on the new Nursing Act were being promulgated was to blame. A misplaced file was responsible for Mrs Clarke's case not having been heard beforethe Morkels'. Asked whether the Nursing Council ever reported matters for criminal follow-up to the SA Police Services, he said only when non-nursing-related matters such as fraud were involved. 'We only work in terms of the Nursing Act - there's no legal obligation upon us to report matters to the SAPS; that should come from the aggrieved party,' he said.
Mrs Welsh expressed displeasure at the 'light sentencing of Mr Caleni in comparison with the two nursing sisters he tried to blame for his negligence.' The hearing of Mrs Clarke's complaint early next year however gave her 'some hope' that justice would eventually prevail.
Mrs Pat Lindgren, the founder of Action on Elder Abuse, the only NGO in South Africa dedicated to countering elder abuse, said the Older Persons Act as amended in 2010 made abuse of anyone over 60 years old a criminal offence and put a legal obligation on any witness to report it. It also created an 'abuser' register which prevented anyone convicted of elder abuse from ever working with the elderly or managing a facility for the elderly again. Elder abuse, whether familial or institutional, was often called 'the secret crime' because it was either not witnessed or kept under wraps. Mrs Lindgren said there has been a recent increase in reported elder abuse in South Africa. 'Abuse is normally by somebody who has some form of power over the elderly person - the more dependent you are, the more vulnerable,' she added.
Dr Mark Sonderup, acting chairperson of the South African Medical Association (SAMA), said medical prescriptions had the standing of a legal order. Any doctor who suspected neglect or abuse of an elderly patient should ask themselves the question, 'If it was a 5-year-old what would I do? -They probably wouldn't hesitate to report to a child protection agency. Perhaps that's where we fall short. These things should be reported to social agencies. Sometimes it's easier to access them when your patient is in hospital - but a plan can always be made.'

Molecular Bandit Keeps Pain at Bay
Available for logged-in reporters only
KEYWORDSCell Biology, Molecular Biology, pain, Neurobiology
Newswise — A study published in the Aug. 4, 2010 issue of the Journal of Neuroscience introduces an enzyme that could pack a big punch in the battle against chronic pain.
Its name is prostatic acid phosphatase or PAP for short. According to researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, PAP blocks pain in animal models by siphoning off a molecule called PIP2—a critical component of the chemical cascade behind chronic pain.
What's more, PAP appears to keep on blocking pain symptoms long after it is injected.
"If you inject PAP before nerve injury or before causing inflammation, PAP has very long-lasting effect on the pain sensitization that follows," said Mark J. Zylka, PhD, assistant professor in the Department of Cell and Molecular Physiology and the UNC Neuroscience Center, and lead investigator for the study. "It has the potential to block or dramatically reduce pain, possibly in surgical settings."
Tens of millions of Americans suffer from chronic pain. This long-lasting pain is caused by a series of events along nerve cell membranes that make neurons hypersensitive. Injecting excess PAP into the system triggers a parallel series of reactions that makes it harder for this pain cascade to fire.
"Essentially PAP robs the cell of PIP2 so pro-pain pathways can't signal as effectively," explained Zylka. The team conducted their research using cell cultures and mice.
Using PAP to deplete PIP2 represents a promising new approach to treating chronic pain. "This is something people haven't really focused on yet," Zylka said. "We're going right to the source of these pathways."
In previous studies using mice, the team found that injecting PAP after an injury reduces sensitivity to both heat (like touching a hot burner) and mechanical sensitization (like the pain from brushing sunburned skin) for three days.
This time, the researchers took it a step further by injecting PAP before the injury. The effects lasted for the duration of the study—up to nine days.
Patients undergoing major surgery occasionally receive pain relievers through spinal injections just before the surgery begins. This study suggests that injecting PAP along with those other pain relievers might reduce patients' need for analgesics like opiates in the days following surgery. Future studies with patients will be needed to verify these possibilities.
"Ultimately, we're very interested in other pain-related mechanisms that regulate PIP2 levels in cells. Any one of those mechanisms could be targeted for the treatment of chronic pain," Zylka said. Such research could provide new drugs for patients who already have chronic pain.
Study co-authors include UNC graduate student Nathaniel Sowa, UNC postdoctoral fellow Sarah Street, and Pirkko Vihko, professor and chief physician at the University of Helsinki, Finland, who generated the PAP knockout mouse model that was used in this study.
The research was undertaken at UNC and was supported by grants from the Sloan Foundation, the Searle Scholars Program, the Klingenstein Foundation, the Whitehall Foundation, the Rita Allen Foundation and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, a component of the National Institutes of Health.

The very best way to determine optimum tire pressures, camber settings, and sway bar settings is to use a tire pyrometer to measure the temperature of the tire treads. The following information is intended to help you get started with the process.
A tire pyrometer is a temperature measuring device which utilizes a thin needle probe to penetrate slightly into the tread of a tire. Measurements should be taken in a straight line across the tread at 3 different points: app. one inch in from the outer edge of the tread, in the center of the tread and app. one inch in from the inside edge of the tread. If the outer tread block is relatively small or narrow, use the next one in for your measurements. Insert the needle in the middle of a tread block so you get lots of rubber all around it. Insert the needle up to its "stop" and allow the temperature reading to more or less stabilize. Don't wait for the reading to stop changing entirely, just wait for it to slow down significantly, then move on to the next position on the tire tread. If your pyrometer has a memory function, let it keep track of the temperatures for you. If it doesn't have one, you must write them down as you go. The tires will be cooling down while you are taking measurements, so move as quickly as you can but don't rush to the point where you get innacurate readings. Always take the temperatures in the same order: start with the same tire, go around the car in the same direction, and always measure across the tread in the same order.
What you will end up with are four sets of temperature readings (one for each tire) with three temperatures for each set. It is imperative that you keep those temperatures in order since they will correspond to measurements taken on the inside, middle or outside of the tread. The last tire measured will probably have lower overall temperatures since it has had the most time to cool down. If you want to compensate for this, re-measure the first tire again and see how much temperature it has lost, then you will know how much that last tire has lost.
What we are looking for is the distribution pattern of temperature across the tire tread after a particular type of driving. If all temps are equal (not likely), the contact patch of the tire is being optimized for that type of driving since each portion of the tread is being worked equally hard. If the tire's pressure is too high, you will see the middle temp reading higher than the two side readings. This results because the middle of the tire is bulging out due to excessive pressure which results in more contact pressure at that point thus a higher temp reading. Try lowering 1 psi for each 4-5 degrees higher reading. If the tire's presssure is too low, the middle temp will be lower than the inner and outer readings. Try increasing pressure by 1 psi for each 4-5 degrees lower reading. If the tire's pressure is correct, the middle temp will be very close to the inner and outer readings.
In truth, three equal readings is good, but not perfect. The ideal readings would have the inner temp 5-10 degrees higher than the middle and outer readings, which should be very close to the same. This is because tires corner best when they have a small amount of dynamic negative camber, i.e., aren't rolling excessively onto their edges.
If your readings show the outer temps to be the highest, your tires are rolling excessively onto their edges so you need more negative camber, higher tire pressure or a stiffer anti-roll bar. Camber changes directly address this situation, anti-roll bar changes will also impact the car's tendency to oversteer or understeer, so be careful here.
If your readings show the inner temps to be much higher than the others, you are running too much negative camber or you aren't cornering hard enough to generate representative temps. If you drive in a straight line with negative camber settings, the inner temps will always be the highest since that is where the most tread pressure is being applied to the road. This is normal and explains why negative camber tends to wear out the inner portion of the tread first. What you want to measure is whether the amount of negative camber you have dialed in keeps the tire's tread relatively flat during cornering, thereby generating relatively equal tire temp readings across the tread.
If you cannot adjust negative camber settings, an adjustable anti-roll bar can be used to compensate for excessive tire roll. If the outside temps are too high, increase the stiffness of anti-roll bar at that end of the car. If the inside temps are excessively high, you can reduce the stiffness of the anti-roll bar at that end of the car, but remember we want the inner temps to be slightly higher than the outer ones. You can also try increasing tire pressure which will help resist the tendency of the tire to roll onto its outer edge but don't get carried away here or you'll sacrifice that optimum contact patch with excessive bulging in the middle.
Another technique requires averaging of the tire temps for each tire. Add up the three readings for one tire, divide by three, and compare that number with the average number for the other tires. This will give you an indication of how hard each corner of the car is working. If the front averages are much higher than the rears, your car may be understeering excessively or it may have too much weight on the front tires or you might need wider front tires or your front pressures are too low. If the rear averages are higher than the fronts, you may be spinning your rear tires under acceleration (get an LSD or wider tires) or there is too much weight in the rear or your car is oversteering excessively or your rear pressures are too low. If the averages are roughly the same, front to rear and side to side, your car is well balanced. Remember that the last tire you measured will have lost some of its heat and you must take this into consideration, especially when comparing averages.
Some caveats. Pyrometer readings are intended to help set up a car for racing where the ideal set up will be different for each track. On the street, we are looking for a good compromise set up, so don't go crazy trying to get everything perfect. I like to set up my car to work best during spirited driving. That means excessive negative camber and stiff anti-roll bars. My temp readings after normal street driving will not be well balanced. So I go out and drive very aggressively, then stop and take readings. If you want to optimize your car's set up for less agressive street driving, go for a nice drive in the country and then take your readings. Just remember that your car's suspension is active (camber, toe-in and weight distribution change during cornering) so don't expect perfection in your measurements. We are dealing with a series of compromises and just looking for the best balance for our intended use. One reason to lean towards the more aggressive optimization is then your car will provide the maximum traction possible during emergency situations. The trade-off will be slightly higher tire wear during normal driving.
A few things to remember when taking temps. Don't brake hard when stopping to measure temps. Come to a gradual stop. If the stretch of road you drive has lots of hard right hand turns vs few hard left hand turns, your readings will be skewed. If the last turn you made was a long, hard right hander, your readings will be skewed. I like to weave back and forth on a straight stretch to equalize the readings. This also allows you to determine just how aggressive you want to be and your readings will reflect that decision. I usually make 15-20 weaves at the limit of traction, then stop and take measurements. In any case, take your readings immediately after spirited driving, don't cruise around looking for a good place to park. Using tire temps well takes lots of practice, so don't rely on your first readings to completely tune your car. Take lots of readings under varying circumstances until you begin to get a feel for the process. Remember, too, that tire pressures will go up when you are driving and go back down when the tires cool off. If you are playing with tire pressures, add or subtract pressure until you achieve the temp spread you are looking for, then measure your tire pressure after the tires are completely cooled down (overnight) and use that setting as your starting point from then on. Ideally, you would have a source of pressurized air with you when testing so you can adjust tire pressures up and down. If this is not practical, I suggest starting with an elevated cold tire pressure, say 40 psi, and then gradually bleed off pressure until you get that middle temperature reading down where it belongs.
Also keep in mind that ambient temperature will affect your tire pressures, so if you optimize your settings on a cool day, they won't be ideal on a hot day. Just pick the most typical conditions for your testing and live with the compromise on atypical days, unless you are racing, in which case, you will make adjustments to compensate for the differing conditions. If you aren't pushing the car really hard before taking your readings, you might want to move your measuring points in towards the center of the tread slightly so you get a more representative spectrum for a milder driving style (eliminate measurements at the extremes).
My favorite pyrometer is the Longacre Digital Recording Tire Pyrometer available from Pegasus Auto Racing Supplies (www.PegasusAutoRacing.com) at 800-688-6946 part#3174 for $299. This is a very high quality unit which achieves its readings very quickly (very important) and has a memory feature built in. Intercomp (www.Intercomp-racing.com) also makes a great pyrometer #360012. I do not like the infrared pyrometers because they tend to give innacurate readings since they measure surface temperature which changes quickly and you must take your readings from exactly the same distance away each time (hard to do) to get consistancy. If you already have one, you can give it a try to see what the process is like.
This is a very complicated subject and I have purposely left out some of the more esoteric considerations. If you follow these guidelines, you will get off to a good start. Then just take lots of readings and pretty soon things will start to come into focus.
If all of this is making your head hurt, take heart! If you have the original tires or new ones that are the same size on your Z8 and haven't altered the suspension set up, just run 35 psi front and 35 psi rear and sleep well at night. The engineers at BMW chose those settings because they represented the best all-round compromise for street driving. With those settings, you can still push your car to its limits on the twisties with no worries so don't feel like you're missing out on something by running the factory recommended pressures. In my experience, they're right on. Also, while using a pyrometer is the best way to dial in your tire pressures and chassis settings, a simpler method is to check for tire wear towards the outer edge of the tread after spirited driving. There should be a band running around the edge of the tire just beyond the tread area. If you see scuffing within 1/4 to 1/2 inch of this band, you are definitely in the ball park with your tire pressures. If you don't see any scuffing beyond the tread area, you are probably running too much pressure. If you have scuffing beyond the band, you are definitely running too little tire pressure.
If you have specific questions, I will try to help. Have fun!

Yes, I certainly do recommend the support group. We have an absolutely wonderful one here which started with a few people coming out of rehab, which they have today in a lot of hospitals, (they don't have it in all hospitals I don't think or they certainly didn't), and from that, to get people together with you know, the same sort of problems and you go and talk to people and instead of thinking, 'Gosh I've got this, I've got that', you speak to somebody else and they say, 'So have I', and it lessens it, totally shared. And you sort of think well she or he looks all right and it is an absolutely wonderful thing. And if you sort of mix socially as well, which our support group does, we have a tremendous social activities and combined with, of course exercises, walks and meetings where people talk about medical things, not always by any means. But you know, we get together and we see people, 80 year olds 90 year olds (well she is not quite 90 our oldest one but she's in her mid-eighties absolutely wonderful), whose has had the same problems as people in their 40s who think, 'Golly I won't get there..', but you can. We are all different though. Every single case is totally different. But it is a wonderful thing, support groups I think are essential.

In the old Montgomery Ward building along the Chicago River, quirky Groupon is building something cool -- and huge.
What is Groupon? The company's Web site (and daily email blast) offers a deal per day in 30 cities across America, usually from a local company, usually offering an in-person special. The "group" twist: The deal only kicks in if a large-enough group of people sign up for it -- so call your friends and make sure they buy one, too.
In Chicago today, for example, Mexican restaurant Fuego is offering $25 worth of food and drinks for $10. The minimum group of 250 buyers "tipped" at 8:06 a.m., and so far, 689 people have bought the special.
It's a popular service, especially in Chicago, where some 250,000 people are signed up for the mailing list. (Soon it'll have more local subscribers than the Chicago Sun-Times.) Earlier this month, 4,243 people bought a "Chicago Chocolate Tour" for $22 (worth $40 at full retail.) On Nov. 20, 9,260 people bought $10 gift certificates to Pompei, an Italian restaraurant, for $5.
As you can imagine, with a paying user base like that, the company is making money. In just over a year since launch, the Internet startup has grown to become a real, big deal, with 140 employees, 2 million subscribers, 1 million "Groupons" purchased, and plans to do more than $100 million of gross merchandise sales in 2010. Its most recent financing -- $30 million with Accel partners -- valued the company at $250 million, cofounder and CEO Andrew Mason confirms to us.
Groupon is growing rapidly and getting ready to move into new offices in the same building for its next phase of expansion. We toured their offices yesterday, and brought our camera.

Hollywood's Out Of Ideas Part MMMMDCCXXXII: Fox is greenlighting a remake of the musical film Guys and Dolls.
Deadline Hollywood reports that Danny Strong — known for playing Jonathan on Buffy as well as for writing the screenplays for Game Change and The Butler — has been tapped to write the script. If you're not familiar with the story, it's got slangy, Runyon dialogue, it's set in New York in the 20s/30s, and involves gangsters, gamblers, showgirls and The Oldest Established Permanent Floating Crap Game in New York. A few famous songs — "Luck Be A Lady," "Bushel and a Peck" — hail from the show.
The 1955 flick featured Marlon Brando as Sky Masterson and Frank Sinatra as Nathan Detroit. Apparently Channing Tatum and Joseph Gordon Levitt are some "names" folks have in mind, but surely you have better ideas? Let's hear 'em!
