Dodge Viper 8.0L F/I 2002, Air Filter by K&N®. Get better performance, superior engine protection and more economical operation just by changing your air filter. The K&N air filter gives you increased airflow without sacrificing filtration ability. It's the last air filter you'll ever buy for your car.
- Improves engine airflow
- Increases horsepower and acceleration
- Superior filtration without reduced airflow
- Reduces maintenance costs
- Washable and reusable
- Get up to 50,000 miles between cleanings under normal driving conditions
- Emissions legal in all States
- Backed by K&N's Million Mile Limited Warranty
Most air filters on the market are a compromise. Many high-performance filters deliver better airflow, but sacrifice filtering ability and engine protection in the process. OEM filters, which are usually made of paper, filter adequately but at the expense of airflow. And airflow decreases as these air filters become dirty. Not so the K&N air filter. K&N air filters increase airflow without decreasing filtration ability, and the increased airflow remains consistent throughout the filter's service interval. The secret is in the K&N filter's construction.
K&N's initial goal was to develop a filter that would deliver increased airflow during dirty, dusty off-road racing conditions. Increased airflow improves the efficiency of the combustion process, increasing horsepower and torque. But just increasing airflow without ensuring adequate filtration under those conditions would result in a ruined engine. K&N's solution was a filter design consisting of 4 to 6 layers of cotton gauze sandwiched between two aluminum wire screens. The cotton is then treated with a specially formulated grade of oil that causes tackiness throughout the cottons microscopic strands. The resulting K&N filter not only delivers increased airflow while trapping dirt particles that could harm your engine, that level of airflow is maintained even as the filter gets dirty. The layers of oiled cotton fibers in the K&N filter trap dirt particles that are smaller than the holes in the filter media. The thickness of the layers also allows the K&N filter to trap dirt and dust on many levels, trapping more dirt without decreasing airflow. Contrast this with a paper filter that only traps dirt on its surface; as the surface area becomes clogged, the airflow rate goes down.
Each K&N air filter is custom designed to fit into your existing factory air box. The K&N filter is economical because it's the last air filter you'll have to buy for your car. It can be washed and reused many times, and since you can usually drive up to 50,000 miles between servicing, you won't have to clean it very often. And every K&N filter is backed by K&N's Million Mile Limited Warranty. By the way, check the CARiD reviews and read what the customers think of K&N porducts.

| Posted by Kevin G. | (Warrenton, MO)This filter was easy to install with the nut on the end and it will be easier to take off, you can tell it's a quality oil filter. One thing I noticed is I have higher oil pressure with the K&N. I will use their filters. It will save me time with filter removal. Hope this can help someone.

This filter did the job for me. I compared the K&N with the original filter and there is a huge difference. The K&N seemed of much higher quality, but you could see how it would flow better.

Why study joinery? Why study joinery at UFV?What type of career can I expect?What will I learn in the program?Sounds good. What do I do next?What do I need to get in?When should I apply?What are the program requirements?How much will it cost? Anything else I need to know?Is there an upgrading option?Can I speak with someone about my options?
Why study joinery?You've always had a way with your hands and flair for fine details. Joinery is a growing business and the job opportunities are endless. It's a career where you can make many of your own decisions and where your creative ability, knack for getting the job done, and hard work will pay off.
Why study joinery at UFV?UFV's Joinery program will prepare you for entry into the provincial apprenticeship program, as well as directly into employment. You'll get a thorough introduction to the trade, and develop skills expected by today's demanding employers. Theory and shop procedures are set up to simulate job conditions, so your punctuality and good work habits are essential.
** This program exceeds the provincial standards of Foundation and ELTT training programs taught throughout B.C.
What type of career can I expect? Once you've successfully completed the program, you will be prepared for employment opportunities in the joinery millwork industry and related businesses such as interior finishing and trimming, furniture manufacturing, cottage industries, and van interior customizing. A career in the joinery trade offers good opportunities for those who are willing to spend several years learning the trade. This performance-paced program allows you an accelerated completion time and the individual opportunity to develop higher levels of expertise in any area of the program. However, for all students the maximum program length will be enforced as stated under Dates and Attendance Requirements in the UFV calendar.The program runs from September to May and if you fail to meet the attendance requirements as outlined in your individual program guide, you might be subject to a failing grade or academic warning.
What will I learn in the program? You must demonstrate that you understand the written part of each unit by successfully completing a written test at the end of each unit, and you must then apply it to an acceptable level of practical skills as assigned in that unit. You will be working with the help of learning packages that will give you step-by-step instructions. Your learning materials may include printed worksheets, videotapes, display boards, lab manuals, instructions, demonstrations and/or lectures.At regular stages you will be required to move to a shop or lab area to perform various tasks in order to develop your practical skills. Practical hands-on training as part of the total plan will increase as you progress through the program, and should amount to about two-thirds of your overall training time. As much as possible, study lab and shop instruction are patterned after "on-the-job" situations, where a limited amount of direct supervision is required.The training follows a modular system that begins by developing a wide variety of basic skills, and builds on these to develop intermediate and specialized skills required in this industry. The modular curriculum provides a flexible learning path, allowing accelerated learning opportunities if you're entering the program with a greater experience or skill level.
Sample topics:
All unit tests and assigned practicals must be completed with a passing grade before writing the final exam.
Sounds good. What do I do next?Check out UFV's online calendar at www.ufv.ca/calendar Read the Joinery section and program description carefully.Next, you can download an application form and submit it, along with the $45 application fee, to any UFV Admissions and Records office. You can also transmit it through the internet at www.pas.bc.ca. If you're currently in Grade 12, you can apply now, but we require a statement from your school counsellor or principal indicating that you are likely to meet graduation requirements by June, and this must be presented at the time of your entrance exam appointment. You will be notified of your entrance exam date by the Trades & Technology Centre and there is no fee for writing this exam. If you have not been contacted within two weeks of submitting your application, please call us at 604-847-545402. Before classes start, you'll be called and given all the registration procedures. If we can't reach you after three attempts, you'll be removed from the waitlist.
When should I apply?Applications are accepted on a continuous basis throughout the year. Qualified applicants are considered for the next intake in which there is space.
What do I need to get in?You'll need your B.C. secondary school graduation or equivalent and you must pass a math and reading comprehension entrance exam.
What are the program requirements?As a joinery student, you must complete all requirements with a minimum of 70 percent to receive a Credit (CR) grade in order to graduate.How much will it cost? Expect to pay program fees of about $115.01 per week; this covers tuition plus 10% of the tuition for ancillary fees. As a Joinery student, you should also budget about $300 for basic hand tools and working gear and $400 for the required textbooks.We require a deposit (currently $200) to be paid when you register, which typically takes place one or two months before the start of each semester. The balance of your fees must be paid by the second week of the semester.In addition, each semester (fall and winter) you will be required to pay a $30 Student Union Society membership fee, a $35 SUS Capital fee, $4.50 Cascade student newspaper fee, a $3 per semester radio station fee and a $40 U-Pass fee. A health and dental fee of $160 is charged annually each fall semester to students with nine or more credits to provide extended medical and dental insurance. You can check with the Student Union Society or at www.IHaveAPlan.ca for details.It's also worth a visit to the UFV financial aid and awards office, which facilitates the disbursement each year of about $12 million in federal and provincial student loans, grants, bursaries, scholarships, and awards to UFV students. A helpful budget planning worksheet is available online at www.ufv.ca/fineaid/budgetAnything else I need to know?Joinery can be a physically demanding job and that's why a medical statement from a qualified physician may be required at any time before or during the program. You will be notified by a UFV official if or when that statement is required.UFV's Joinery program is delivered at the Trades & Technology Centre at the Canada Education Park in Chilliwack, which is open 8 am to 3:30 pm weekdays. Classes and shops are in session weekdays 8:00 am to 2:00 pm. As a Joinery student, you will be required to have continuous attendance throughout both semesters before you can successfully complete the requirements for your program.
Is there an upgrading option? You have a busy life and we realize that. That's where our upgrading option comes in. Our upgrading program allows you, if you're currently or recently employed in the joinery industry, to complete your certificate requirements or to become proficient in a specific process or technique. As an upgrading student, you are expected to meet program prerequisites through previous enrolment or proof of industry experience that must be approved by the program instructor. And while we'll welcome you as an upgrading student, you cannot be enrolled for more than 13 weeks. It's important to know that upgrading students cannot displace anyone registered in the next intake.
Can I speak with someone about my options?Yes! We want to hear from you! If you're unsure of your direction, contact Student Services at 1-888-504-7441, ext 4528 to arrange a tour, attend a "Becoming a Student" info session, connect with an educational advisor, or arrange for career counselling. You can also contact the Trades & Technology centre directly at 604-847-5448 or email firstname.lastname@example.com to get more details.

User Review for SnugRide Classic Connect 30/35 LX Base
User Review for SnugRide Classic Connect 30/35 LX Base
Having an extra base is a life saver. The first few weeks our son was home we had to move bases from one car to another and it was a nightmare. Now we have one for my husband's car and mine and gave one to each set of grandparents. I highly recommend getting AT LEAST 1 extra base.
User Review for SnugRide Classic Connect 30/35 LX Base
We couldn't live without this - It works perfectly & I don't see anything about the color that makes it stand out. Always buy your carseat base (& carseat) NEW unless you're 100%+ sure that it's never been in an accident - it's just not worth getting a used one.
User Review for Boulevard 70-G3 Convertible Car Seat
I needed a new seat for my 3 year old and after looking at many different seats, decided this was the best convertible car seat I have ever seen. Britax is always a manufacturer you can trust for safety. It has more safety features than any other convertible, yet it looks nice, is easy to use, and is comfortable. Since it lasts from 5 to 65 pounds, you'll use it for years! I haven't had to use it rear facing, so I can't say how well that installation works. I've used several other convertible seats, but won't use any other from now on.
User Review for Boulevard 70-G3 Convertible Car Seat
We absolutely love this seat. We previously had a Britax Roundabout for my oldest son and like it. We were impressed with the addition for side impact and the roll bar for adjusting the height of the straps. We got this seat as an extra for my husbands car because it will fit all three of our children. We can easily adjust the straps without having to reinstall the car seat for our children ages 5, 3 and 1 or for any of our children's friends. I also like how easy the straps are to adjust. We've used other car seat such as Graco and Century brands and sometimes have difficult getting the straps to adjust. I feel very confident that we use this seat correctly all the time and that all of our children are very well protected by this seat. Plus the side impact pillows are great head rest for when the kids fall asleep.
Car Seat Facts
Did you know that according to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), babies should ride in a car seat that is installed in the rear-facing position to the maximum weight and height allowed for that car seat? If you are ever concerned about making sure your car seat is properly positioned, you can consider having a car seat inspection. Not only is it free, but it is simple to find an inspection site near you. Just simply go to: http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/recalls/. You should also keep in mind that your pediatrician will always have the latest safety information regarding car seats.
Buying Guidelines
Experts suggest that you should purchase the best car seat that your budget can allow. The car seat acts as the child's bodyguard while on the road and could save his/her life in the event of an accident! In the event of an accident, consumers should replace the car seat to ensure maximum safety for the future.
Experts also want consumers to be aware of their own states regulations concerning car seats. Consumers may need purchase additional car seats or boosters to meet these safety standards for their child's age and weight. If you are unsure of your state's regulations, you can access this link to: state car seat laws, to find out more information.
Product Features
Britax, Graco, Recaro, and Eddie Bauer boast a wide variety of product features that enhance the baby's comfort and/or parent's convenience.
Such features include:
- Cup holders
- Soft toys
- Bunting or boots that keep baby warm
- Belly and shoulder pads for protection and comfort
In the event of a car seat recall you may want to check your car seat manufacturer and model. Visit the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration for more information.
| Infant Only | Convertible | Booster |
Age | Newborn to 1 year | Newborn and up | Toddler 3 and up |
Weight | Up to 20 pounds | Up to 80 pounds | 40 to 80 pounds |
Orientation | Rear Facing only | Rear & Forward Facing | Forward Facing only |
Weight is approximate - always follow the manufacturer's guidelines and your pediatrician's advice.
- Five-Point Harness: Secure a child at the shoulders, the hips, and between the legs, which restrains the strongest sections of the body. This makes the five-point harness the safest.
- Three-Point Harness: Secures a child at the shoulders and between the legs.
- The LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) System: The LATCH system is specially designed to connect your car seat to built-in metal anchors in the back seat. When a car seat does not have a LATCH system the seat belt is used as an anchor.
- Tether: The tether is an extra snap on piece that connects the car seat to the back seat behind the cars back seat headrest for additional security. Most forward-facing and some rear-facing car seats include a snap on tether.
- EPS (Expanded polystyrene) Foam: Energy Absorbing Foam used in car seats to absorb the impact of a crash and protect baby. Manufacturers have performed extensive testing to determine the major points of impact in a crash and have added more EPS in those areas for additional support. The objective of the EPS in the car seat is that it will take the full impact in the even of a crash and protect your baby. If this were to happen the EPS could be broken crushed. In the event that the EPS is damaged when it has absorbed chock or for any other reason, contact the manufacturer to see if it can be replaced.
Types of Car Seats:
- Rear-Facing Seat - only able to face the rear of the vehicle and is used for infants.
- Front-Facing Seat - only able to be used facing the front of the vehicle and is used for older children
- Convertible Seat - has the ability to be a rear facing seat for infants as well as forward facing for older children
- Booster Seat - designed for children 4 or older. The seat helps the seat belt to be positioned correctly around the child.
An infant car seat is the first seat your baby will ever use. An infant car seat accommodates a child that is between 5-22 lbs. and up to 29in. tall. It is important to follow all manufacturer guidelines and state regulations to ensure the safety of your baby. These car seats often feature a canopy which is adjustable or has the ability to rotate. The canopy will protect the car seat from all types of weather.
Safety features such as the LATCH system are featured in many of the infant car seats. LATCH makes installation more secure as the car seat will attach to anchor points, which all cars now have installed by the manufacturer. Another outstanding safety feature available in certain car seat models is EPS foam. EPS foam makes the car seat safer during an impact. Models that include EPS foam is the Graco SnugRide, Baby Trend Flex Loc, Chicco Keyfit and Evenflo Discovery.
Convertible car seats have the ability to be a rear-facing seat for infants and be converted to front-facing seats when the child is of age and weight. This type of car seat will be the next step in car seats before your child is able to use a booster seat. Most models of convertible car seats can fit a child that is between 5-65 lbs compared to the infant car seat, which can only fit a child that is between 4-22 lbs.
Convertible car seats do feature LATCH systems, 5-point harness systems, overhead shields, and EPS foam like other car seats.
Some of the top brands and models of convertible car seat include:
Our convertible car seats also have a large variety of accessories that are adaptable for the child and parent's comfort. While convertible car seats may be a great way to stretch child expenditures, it is important to follow all manufacturer guidelines and state regulations to ensure the safety of your child. You can also contact your pediatrician for further safety advice concerning car seats.
The booster car seat is the last car seat the child will ever need. The booster car seat has a completely different design intention compared to the infant car seats and convertible car seats.
Children who are able to use booster seats are lifted higher on the seat so that the vehicle's safety belt fits correctly. Booster seats are designed for children that are at least 4 years of age and can be used until the child is between 8 and 12 years of age.
For child and parent convenience, features on some booster seats include:
Since many convertible car seats can accommodate a child to 65 lbs, many parents prefer to purchase a booster seat which is backless. Backless booster seats are very light and easily portable.
Some of the top booster seat brands and models include:
It is important to follow all manufacturer guidelines and state regulations to ensure the safety of your child.

Amy Carey-Jones heard the news from someone, but she refused to believe it.
It couldn't be her sister who authorities say rammed a barricade at the White House and then led police on a high-velocity chase through the heart of the nation's capital, ending with gunshots that left the woman dead.
No, not her sister, she said. Then she turned on the television to the images of a smashed car and police.
"I just saw the same clip over and over," Carey-Jones said Friday on CNN's AC360. "I did recognize the car. It just didn't seem real."
After Miriam Carey led police on the chase with her 1-year-old daughter in the back seat, authorities are searching for clues to explain the bizarre chain of events that led to her death.
So, too, is her family.
"We are still trying to put the pieces together," Carey-Jones said.
Neither she nor her other sister, Valarie Carey, know why Miriam Carey was in Washington, D.C. on Thursday.
"We will never know what Miriam was thinking in those last hours before she died, and we can only speculate. Our real concern is why (this happened) and were things done properly? Was there some other way she could have been helped so that it didn't end tragically?"
Washington Metropolitan Police Chief Cathy Lanier said that officers of the U.S. Capitol Police and Secret Service acted within commonly accepted use-of-force policies and practices in reaction to an intentional series of violent acts.
Although Miriam Carey was shot while driving with her baby girl, the child was uninjured. The Carey family told CNN they have been told the girl is safe.
"We don't know exactly where she is," said Valarie Carey.
The girl has been taken into protective custody by the D.C. Child and Family Services Agency. She has been temporarily placed with a foster family, according an agency spokesperson, who declined to be identified.
Miriam Carey's boyfriend reportedly told police last winter that she appeared to be delusional. The boyfriend said she claimed President Barack Obama had placed Stamford, Connecticut, where she lived, under lockdown and that her house was under electronic surveillance, said a law enforcement source familiar with the investigation. The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, was not authorized to release details to the media.
Reports have surfaced following the deadly incident that Miriam Carey was being treated for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, claims the Carey family vehemently denied.
A few months after her daughter was born, Miriam Carey was diagnosed with postpartum depression with psychosis, the sisters said.
Postpartum psychosis can cause delusions and paranoia, according to medical experts.
"There wasn't a pattern. It was something that occurred suddenly," Carey-Jones said. "She seemed overwhelmed. There was a lot of stress.
"There was not moments of her walking around with delusions. That was not what was going on."
But her sister was making progress with the help of counseling and medications.
Carey-Jones said her sister recently told her that the doctors told her she didn't need the medication anymore.
"They tapered her off the medications, and she said she felt fine," Carey-Jones said.
The sisters declined to discuss what medication Miriam Carey had taken.
Despite reported claims by Miriam Carey's boyfriend that she had been delusional, the Carey sisters say they saw no signs of any problems. Authorities have not officially linked the incident to mental illness or any other factor.
"She has never disclosed anything of that nature, and since my sister is not here to speak for herself that statement in and of itself is very questionable," Valarie Carey said.

PERRY, Utah (ABC 4 News) - Two of the boys burned Thursday after playing with a lighter and gasoline have been released from the hospital, according to a University of Utah hospital spokesperson. One of the boys is still in serious condition. Taton Winward, 7, the most seriously injured, remains in critical condition.
In a statement online, his aunt writes Taton suffered burns over 14 percent of his body mostly to his hands and arms and has 2nd degree burns on his face. He will undergo skin graphs next week.
Spencer Cronin, a 4th grader witnessed the explosion and his shoes caught fire. But he said he knew what to do after learning about fire safety in school.
"I remembered what the fire department taught me," he said. "I was thinking I need to roll around to get it off basically."
Teachers at Three Mile Creek Elementary, the boys' school, spent the day talking about the accident with students.
"It was really hard, they had a lot of good questions," said Susan Thompson, of one of the boys' 4th grade teachers. "We talked a lot about fire this morning."
Principal Janet Coombs said the accident is a good reminder for everyone to talk often with their kids about the dangers of fire.
"Maybe we need to do it more often, we need to encourage parents to talk more about it," said Coombs. "I know one of the boys goes to scouts, so the more we talk to kids about how to be safe no matter who it is, the better."

(CNN) -- Defense Secretary Leon Panetta Wednesday will announce he has authorized a new military medal for "extraordinary actions" that have taken place "not necessarily on the battlefield," a Pentagon official confirmed to CNN. The announcement will come at Panetta's final news conference this afternoon. The official said the award is aimed at acknowledging actions by military personnel operating unmanned drones and also those involved in cyberwarfare. The medal is named the "Distinguished Warfare Medal." It will rank above the Bronze Star.

Stage 1: Naïve anticipation
Last summer, as we began the process of choosing which EMR (electronic medical records) system that we would buy, I was filled with my usual optimism. Despite the naysayers, I was sure that our efficient office would have no trouble adapting from paper charting to computer charting. Above all else, I was convinced that Moi, 'Ms. Computer Savvy Blogger' would love EMR. In the months leading up to the transition, I began to look condescendingly at our cumbersome paper charts and our 3x5 card tracking system for abnormal labs, as I anticipated their retirement. They seemed quaint relics, like cassette tapes or Ms. Pac-man machines. I could hardly wait for the charts to be replaced by information at my finger tips and the promised fool proof tracking systems that would improve quality, while making my life easier. Though my partners voiced trepidation about what we were to endure, I had little doubt that we would be paper free in just a few months. It would take work and there might be a few hiccups along the way, but I knew that if we put in the time and effort, the transition would go smoothly.
Stage 2: Adaption Angst
We decided on Greenway, a system that was specifically marketed for OB/GYN. Training was scheduled for early November, with the plan to 'GO LIVE' the following week. Leading up to our training, I (as self appointed EMR point person) had several conference calls with our trainer. It was during these calls that the first inklings of doubt began to set in.
Every question I posed to our trainer was answered the same way, "Oh, yeah, that is SUPER easy, I'll show you next week." Her voice was high pitched and bubbly, like an excited Barbie doll. While I was naïve enough to think that the transition would go well, I was not an idiot. I knew that not every aspect of EMR would be, as she repeatedly intoned to me, "SUPER EASY!"
Training week did not flow well. While we all did manage to learn the basics of charting notes and navigation of the software, any question outside of basic charting was met with a blank stare from our Barbie doll trainer.
"How do we order labs?"
Blank stare.
"How do we track labs?"
Blank stare.
"How do we fax?"
Things weren't quite so "super easy" anymore.
She abandoned us after a two weeks. That's when the fun began.
Stage 3: Self Pity/Anger/Denial
While I did learn the EMR fairly quickly, my biggest disappointment came in the realization that it did not make my life any easier. On the contrary, it added at least an hour to my day. Everything just takes longer.
It took us several months to figure out the extremely cumbersome tracking system for labs. I began to look longingly at the 3x5 note card boxes that I had previously scorned. It takes me 14 clicks to sign off a lab, IF ITS NORMAL! While it used to take two seconds to make a quick signature, now it takes 14 clicks. My nurse also has several extra steps involved with routing documents back and forth. If there is an abnormal lab, I then have to open multiple documents to decipher the plan, task it to the correct staff and turn on all the tracking mechanisms.
Home has always been my sanctuary, unless I was on call. Now I find myself leaving work before my charting is completed, so I can attempt to be home for dinner. After the kids are asleep, I dial in to finish charting. Home is no longer a safe haven. I really hate the fact that I can 'work from home.'
I began to relish the last few paper chart patients. When I would see a paper chart in the door, I would get that giddy excited feeling, like when a patient brings in hot fresh chocolate chip cookies for you at three o'clock on a Friday afternoon. I realized that it is so much easier for me to remember the patient details by leafing through a paper chart, rather than clicking on 17 different documents in the electronic file. Paper charts were nostalgic for me. I would flip through and see the handwriting of previous employees; coffee stains of the day I was running late and the smiley faces I would draw on the lab results when a patient's cholesterol finally came down or their Chlamydia finally cleared up. Paper charts are full of physical, tangible memories in a way that an electronic file can never be.
I felt betrayed by Miss 'Super Easy". Yes, the actual charting was not difficult, but it was time consuming and the orders tracking system was cumbersome. Most importantly, I didn't HAVE an extra hour in my day for charting.
And did I mention the FOURTEEN CLICKS?
Stage 4: Acceptance
Slowly, things have become slightly better. I will admit that being able to READ everything is very much a benefit (the computer gets bonus points for penmanship!). Also when on call, it is great to be able to pull up charts at home to review the patients history while talking to them. There is no more hunting down prenatal records when someone goes into labor on a weekend. As patients come back for return visits, it definitely gets easier. EMR still adds time to my already packed work day, but slowly I am figuring out how to make it work for me.
It was the following encounter that convinced me that I had to truly accept EMR and stop my grouching about it:
Last week I was seeing a young girl for a check up before she left for college. She was having issues with her birth control pill and wanted to switch.
This is the type of encounter that makes me hate EMR the most. While in the room with the patient, I have to attempt to look through her old chart which is in a zillion different saved files in her new electronic chart. So as I'm clicking on each file, attempting but failing to find the one that tells me which pill she was on before this one, I make some smarmy comment about how I hate my new computer.
"That's Ok," she says in a slightly patronizing voice," My Grammy is a nurse, and she has a hard time learning computer stuff too!"
At this point my jaw literally dropped. It took every ounce of self control to maintain my composure at that moment.
Ummmmm did she just compare me to her GRAMMY? I am 36 years old!
After a few deep breaths I regained my composure, found the file I needed and sent her on her way with a new script. Sent by e-prescribe, of course.
From that day forward I have vowed to never complain about EMR again. Not even the fourteen clicks. No its not perfect, but it is here to stay.
Every time I get frustrated and want to complain, I just take a deep breath, smile and whisper the word, "Grammy."

this pair have a potential for gold medal in world champ and rio olympic... watch out for them...
Malaysia Open final vs IND
WTpooh was that?!!!!!
What a disastrous performance! Where the heaven was the coach?
The first game was a train wreck of a performance by KO. While his attacking play may be the strongest of the Korean doubles players, I still believe that his unforced error rate is too high for top level play (that is when facing top players who are on their game, as was the case during legendary finals with JJS vs Fu/Cai). I think Yu YY or Shin BC or Kim SR would fare better overall with LYD, despite their slightly weaker attack.
The second game, it seems to me, was a coaching disaster. When facing one of the world's best potential player in Setiawan who happens to be playing his A+++ game, why in the world would the koreans keep taking him on and losing easy points (for IND). They should have switched to plan B, using the mid-court area and trying to get a lift and if not, lifting high and deep and trying to counter attack. Ko's defense is erratic but by insisting with Setiawan at the net, they gave away that second game for FREE!!!!
Despondent Korean fan,
Not to defend the KOR pair, but I've never seen Setiawan plays as well as that. And Ahsan was playing like he was a man possessed! He was playing front court, mid court, back court well. Every where! An amazing replacement for Kido.
Even if Jung was still playing, the KOR would've still lost yesterday.
You're dreaming. Shin is too slow, Yoo has a weaker defense, weaker attack and erratic net play, and Kim might possibly be a decent partner for LYD but often makes very bad choices. Haven't gotten around to watching the game but it takes 2 to lose, and crying for a change of partners after one lost match (against one of the world's best forecourt players, especially in intercepting drives) is just an overreaction. Watched the Semifinal today and Ko played really really well. LYD actually served worse and was often WAY too deep in his defensive stance. While Ko has to stop his unforced errors, he his still a better partner for LYD than any player you mentioned.
100% agree with you there. changing parners after one loss is a immature descion. from the match you could clearly see LYD was doing very bad as well, it looked NOTHING like his normal form. doubles is a 2 man game. and during that game they were clearly out classed by the INDO pair.
Haha, this match was like a freak accident where your ship gets hit by a 50m wave that occurs like once in 20years - afterwards, there's a lot of finger-pointing and assigning blame, but in reality, all you can say is "Sometimes bad things happen."
You can safely assume Ahsan is never gonna play a match like that again. It was a 100% increase from his usual form...and those blaming Ko should take a closer look at Lee. He was very off form as well, taking far less than usual (sometimes causing an error from Ko as he had nearly no time to react to Lee quickly retracting his racket), and defending very weakly.
Actually Ko scored the vast majority of the points, either directly or by defending until the Indonesians made an error.
For Lee, it must've been a very uncomfortable experience, for Ko, it was probably a nightmare.
Also, the point from 19-13 to 20-13 was unbelievable - the shuttle was at least 6cm out. Line judge must've slept or has worse eyesight than me without lenses. And the umpire was rather inattentive as well. Could've seen such a clear error, and the fault he called in the first game (against Ko's attempted net kill) was very very likely not warranted (from Ko's hitting action and posture you can see he [probably] didn't hit the shuttle before it had crossed over, and he didn't touch the net).Last edited by j4ckie; 01-20-2013 at 06:01 PM.
1st set tactical indo pair ahsan is front player..if 2nd set korea can change game and win,i think last set setiawan will front player...so 3rd set maybe interesting to watch...
about line judge...it just like karma for korea....a lot bad line call from korea open...2point out but indo got point doesnt effect anything...korea cant change game to force indo defend...
Sure, I may be dreaming, but you must be smoking, your car's tailpipe. Shin is not too slow but his attack is relatively very weak (did you watch their victory at the Denmark Open a few months ago?), Yoo's defense is far better than Ko's as is Kim's. Sure Ko makes winners but how impressive is 5 killer smashes during a set if you make 10 unforced errors. I've already noted that Ko has the hardest smashes so there's no credit for you to first state I am dreaming and then reiterate my point.
And it does not take two to lose. It takes two to win. Do you never play with uneven pairings? And all of this your comment before watching the game. "Watched the semis today and bla bla bla" when my post was regarding the final. Or are/were you the type to speak up in class and give your opinion on a book that you didn't even read.
Was watching in the stadium yesterday.. And to sum it up , i would say ina pair especially hendra was playing very well through out the whole match.. He as usual is very clever at the net and didn't lift the shuttle up unneccesary for the Koreans to play offensively which is the Korean pair's favourite formation.. Therefore, you don't see smashes from the KOR in the final than their previous other matches
jjashik: Although Ko has his faults, of the two Koreans on court, Ko was the better. LYD didn't look engaged in the game, and his usual forward momentum seemed MIA; the moments he did come forward were forced, and often put Ko in a difficult situation.
As for Kim Sa Rang being a better partner for LYD, this is far from the truth, as you can see from his results. I agree completely that KSR has an awesome potential and a vast talent, but when he can't consistently produce results with either his mixed or doubles partner, you realise he's short something important. You can see what it is when you watch his loosing games; his despondency when he's losing, and the inability to turn a first set win into a match win because he fails to play a second set like his winning first.
You might've read my post about the final if it bothers you so much....also, I didn't comment on the final in that post. I explained why Ko is a much better partner for Lee than those you mentioned. And yes, I've seen Yoo/Shin win the DO, and I've seen Ko/Yoo play many times before. Yoo's defense is weaker than Ko's as he is unable to adapt, not as quick on his feet and thus gets caught either too deep in court or on the side he isn't prepared to defend quite often.
Shin is WAY slower than Ko. I agree he is a fine MD player but he can smash about the same as LYD - a few very good smashes, but no way to keep it up the whole match.
Of course I play in uneven pairings, hence my comment. If the weaker partner can play at the level of the opponents, you will win. If he can't, it depends on whether they can use his weakness or not. Yesterday, the Indonesians used LYD quite well.
And if your post, demanding a change in partnership, was JUST about the Final then it was incredibly immature - after all you'd have to change every partnership in the sport after their first loss if we followed your 'logic'.
The IND pair were indeed playing very well. But to say that LYD/JJS would have lost as well is a bit of a bold statement.
I think given that KO/LYD were obviously not on form (they're only human!), it is difficult to judge that. I would say that if both pairs were on form LYD/KO it would have been much closer, and would probably have beaten the IND pair. LYD was far from his solid self, the number of unforced errors coming from his racquet is something I have not seen from him in a long time.
In doubles, you are affected not only by who you play against but also who you play with. Your confidence grows as you know that you can rely on your partner in difficult situations or to count on them to set you up. LYD has always had great vision and creativity which he could exploit because JJS was an extremely consistent/reliable and effective rear court player it allowed LYD to give his undivided attention to the mid-court/net. He needn't worry too much about the rear, it was like brick wall behind him, this allowed him to be creative and play at ease. In the defensive formation, JJS was pretty much equal to LYD and because there was no weakness between them, they were able to counterattack quite frequently – not so in the new pairing which is a big deficit.
Ko is not a bad player, he's probably the best partner for LYD in the current KOR team. Given that LYD/KO are still getting used to each other, I get the sense that LYD is not feeling totally comfortable yet and as you "feed" off each other in doubles, I'm sure this would have had an effect on Ko too. Usually, you'd see one person as the "lead"… previously it was JJS as the leader, he was seen as a bit of a mentor to LYD, someone who he would depend on and knows would watch his back. Now LYD is the "lead" I feel he's a little out of his comfort zone.
Yes Ko was playing well in the match but he has been throughout the tournament (bar a few unforced errors!). I think what Ko needs is a little bit of arrogance. He's too nice a person and a little passive. He needs to believe he's the best to be the best.
Overall I think it was just an off-day for the pair. Not discrediting Ahsan/Set, they played exceptionally well and deserved to win. But I can't help but think a 2011/2012 LYD/JJS would have beaten them.
At least Ko/Lee will have at least a month to rest before they go to the England Open.
@ R20190: yah, my statement was a bit tongue in cheek. But I don't agree with your point about Jung being the leader to Lee... In fact, it's the other way around... despite Lee being younger. You can see this during the breaks during their previous games. Lee is the one talking and guiding Jung.

What are the coolest things to happen to classical music during my 35 year tenure at New England Public Radio? Let's see — there's the increased acceptance of ideas and instruments previously on the outside, the exploration of new vernaculars, the absorption of composers from hitherto unexplored musical regions and realms, and the general loosening of rigid formality and classical/non-classical boundaries. Put 'em all together and what do you get? Astor!
That, of course, would be Astor Piazzolla, who was born in Mar del Plata, Argentina 96 years ago today. A prodigy on the bandoneón, the German accordion that's been for a century a mainstay of tango bands, Piazzolla was a working tanguero from his teens, But also from the start, the young Piazzolla explored musical ideas beyond the bounds of traditional tango composers such as Aníbal Troilo and Carlos Gardel. Following studes with Argentine composer Alberto Ginastera and French pedagogue Nadia Boulanger, and encounters with American jazz, Piazzolla created a new musical synthesis known as tango neuvo — a music with the earthy urgency of tango, the sophistication of classical and the improvisatory freedom of jazz. Controversial at first, Piazzolla is now honored as the greatest musical figure in tango music. And the list of classical musicians attracted to his wonderful music, starting with Gidon Kremer, Sérgio & Odair Assad, Kronos, Yo-Yo Ma and Emanuel Ax, grows daily.
There are those composers and performers who create impressive work-lists and discographies. And then there are those few who create entirely original worlds of music, complete with their own flora, fauna, geographies, geologies and atmosphere. You can approach these worlds from all directions, yet always end up knowing exactly where you are. J. S. Bach was one. Duke Ellington was another. And for me, Astor Piazzolla belongs on that list. So yes, let me say that the addition of Astor Piazzolla's music to the repertoire is very high on the list of the coolest things to happen to classical music during the last 35 years. Tune in Monday for several visits to Astor's world.

Posted 8:32 PM 1/24/2013 : Gem show vendors can't afford theft
TUCSON - Ralph Thompson found his first piece of petrified wood more than 50 years ago. Now, he makes a living selling the fossilized trees at a gem show in Tucson.
"It's just a fluke," Thompson said. "It's just an oddity, and it's just so beautiful. And I just want to show it to everybody."
He travels all over the West looking for petrified wood on private property. He refines it back in Massachusetts.
"Tucson is by far the largest venue worldwide for my kind of things," Thompson said.
He feels pretty good about the safety at his warehouse. The property has a security system, but Thompson does not like to think about any of his fellow vendors becoming victims of theft.
"Jolts through my body," Thompson said, "fear, it feels close to home."
Somebody stole about $1 million worth of Oregon sunstones last February. Burglars took the gems from a trailer parked at a South Side motel. Tucson Police recovered most of the stones in the past week.
Gem show vendors could lose a year's worth of work and wages if their products are stolen.
"The money that I make now," Thompson said, "I've got to invest all this next year to come here again. And to have that investment threatened like that is very scary."
Thompson's company is called Russell-Zuhl. His show opens at the Mineral and Fossil Co-op on Oracle Road, north of Speedway Boulevard Tuesday.

Enjoy the following tours while on your Southern tour of the Baltic.
Hamburg Snapshot
The Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg is Germanys second-largest metropolis and one of Europes biggest ports. Elegant and cosmopolitan Hamburg is now a city of palatial office buildings, magnificent promenades, international musicals and extravagant shopping malls and the famous Reeperbahn (Hamburgs red-light district) in St. Pauli. The magical aura of far-away places is still alive in the Warehouse Quarter with its little canals, but Hamburg is also Germanys greenest city with its many spacious lawns and lovely parks. After a 75-minute journey by coach you will arrive in Hamburg, where you will experience a panoramic overview of this bustling city. This tour will start with the City Hall, Germanys oldest Stock Exchange, the Speicherstadt (the century old warehouse quarter which was built in Gothic redbrick architecture and houses fine spices, coffee and tea from all over the world), as well as the Jungfernstieg, one of the elegant and luxury shopping areas. Your tour will also take you around the Aussen-Alster, which is one of the top addresses in Hamburg and apart from private residences; numerous consulates and renowned businesses are based here. Drive past the St. Pauli Landungsbruecken, where the old sailing vessels used to dock and continue your journey along the world famous Reeperbahn, where at the beginning of the 17th century the Reepers made rigs. Nowadays this street together with the Grosse Freiheit and Herbert Strasse are referred to as the mile of sin and are a well know attraction worldwide as The Beatles began their career here in 1962. A short drive will take you past the St. Nikolai War Memorial Church continuing passed the St. Michaels Church, which was destroyed a number of times in the past, but then always reconstructed. Also known as the Michel by the locals, this church is the largest north German Baroque church and is Hamburgs main landmark.
Enjoy some time at leisure in the city center before returning by coach to the quayside in Kiel. During the coach journey to/from Kiel, you will be accompanied by an English-speaking escort who will hand you over to a local Hamburg tour guide once you arrive in Hamburg.
Catherines (Summer) Palace & City Highlights (Visa Included)

You will pass the Nevsky Prospect, St Petersburg's most famous street, the vast Palace Square, the University Embankment that is lined with buildings of the 18th century, and much more.
