Is anyone experiencing other drivers flashing their lights at you while driving at night? Are xenon headlights too bright or possibly misalligned? I was driving tonight and was flashed by five vehicles and one car in front of me actually pulled over on the highway to let me pass. This has happened since the car was picked up several weeks ago. Just curious if it is happening to anyone else.
Just to clarify, I was not driving with my high beams on.
This is an interesting post. I actually think that my head lights are too high - you might have the same problem. Our service center in Phoenix is not open yet (hopefully in April) and this issue is on my punch list.
Yes, I am concerned about the same thing. Strangely, when I picked up the car, the walk through technician said something about people complaining that the headlights were not bright enough, and recommended also keeping the fog lights on. After the first couple of days of night driving, I found the headlights to be very bright compared to my previous car, and after getting flashed by a few oncoming cars, I turned off the fog lights. I still find the lighting very bright and am still getting some flashes.
Yes, it happened to me also. I was following a car for a while on left lane, and then he decided to switch over to the right lane and let me pass. But as soon as I passed him, he pulled right behind me and put on his high beams.
Yes, check light alignment. On low, you should actually see the "focuspoint" on the road ahead.
I have the same problem. I'm having mine checked at the service center this week.
Let me know how that goes, I am about 500 miles away from the closest service center.
there is no way to adjust them manually or from the touch screen ?
I've never seen a means to adjust them from within the cabin.
I've had this issue for years with my Corvette - and they ARE aimed/aligned properly. People just see really bright headlights and assume high beams.
I have Xenon lights on all my other cars and have never had this problem with other drivers. I really believe they are out of alignment.
Same thing in my Mustang, people think my regular lights are my high beams.
if they think that guys is because your HID lense cutout is bad/leaking or pointed too high, above the cutout it's complete dark so there is no way to blind drivers
My BMW has knobs over the light housings
To adjust the aim. (X and Y axes)
Not sure about Tesla.
Does everybody reporting this have the xenons (tech package)?
I have not been flashed but I did appreciate the super bright headlights the last two nights I drove. :-)
I don't care to see xenon lights on other cars when they are pointed at me and that is one reason I chose the standard lights over the upgrade. I have not had anyone flash their lights at me or complain about them being too bright. They also work just fine for me.
Super-bright when cars are approaching you? Why would you appreciate that?
The xenon headlights are great. They seem properly aligned and have not gotten any reactions from other drivers. I drive with fog lights off usually.
This has been discussed on the Tesla Motor Club forum. There are instructions to adjust the headlights.
Yes, people have flashed their high beams at me three different times, and some times it does feel like the normal headlights on the S are aimed a little too high.
On my car, the cutoff is a clear line that is high enough to catch other drivers in the eyes. Considering that switching to high beam only adds light to the trees, I think the low beam is a degree or two too high. Since I have the air suspension, aiming can be set exactly where I need it and it will stay regardless of vehicle loading.
I took my car in for an unrelated service this morning, and also mentioned people flashing high beams at me. They offered to re-align the headlights for me. Let's see if that helps.

Congratulations! Pregnancy is an exciting time, but with so much pregnancy information available in books, in magazines, and on websites, how can you hope to cover it all before giving birth?
We've made it easy for you to get all the pregnancy info you need in one place. Our illustrated pregnancy calendar is a detailed guide to all the changes taking place in your baby — and in you!
Each week of pregnancy includes a description of your baby's development, as well as an explanation of the changes taking place in your body. You'll also find important medical info that will help keep you and your baby healthy.
After you announce your pregnancy, the first question you'll probably be asked is "When are you due?" At your first prenatal visit, your health care provider will help you determine an expected delivery date (EDD). Your EDD is 40 weeks from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP). If you deliver on your EDD, your baby is actually only about 38 weeks old — that's because your egg didn't become fertilized until about 2 weeks after the start of your last menstrual period.
It's important to remember that your due date is only an estimate — most babies are born between 38 and 42 weeks from the first day of their mom's LMP and only a small percentage of women actually deliver on their due date.
Another common term you'll hear throughout your pregnancy is trimester. A pregnancy is divided into trimesters:
To get started, simply click below on the week of pregnancy you'd like to view. Many of the articles include links to other pregnancy and newborn articles with more information.
Check back every week of your pregnancy to see how your baby is developing and to find out what changes you can expect in your own body, too!

Actually, I think Manning's pretty lucky. The gov't asked for a 60-year sentence. Manning got 35 years, and he'll be eligible for parole in nine years. Considering the fact that he was a private in the US Army at the time, and that the Taliban's publicly announced they are licking their chops at the chance to murder any number of Afghans whose names were included as "American collaborators" in the documents Manning stole and gave to Wikileaks, I'd say he got off easy.

I really had to laugh when he argued his difficult childhood........and asked for leniency.

There's a campaign to give a shared Nobel Peace Prize to Bradley Manning and Edward Snowden. I hope they do it. And those of you reading this at the NSA kiss my ass. How do you sleep at night?
- Cleodacat said...
As a military retiree. I feel treason should equal either a life sentence or the death penalty. When you take the oath to defend your country from both foreign and domestic enemies and then blatantly parricipate in espionage is an act of betrayal to his brothers and sisters in arms. Lord knows, you have to trust the man to your Left and right to literally have your back. The court system by treating this lightly only encourages the furure Mannings and Snowdens.

I actually feel sorry for this young man. I think he got raped by the government all because he told their dirty little secrets.

Fuck off Kels. Last time I checked no one was keeping you here.
lostathome he compromised military members while they were just following orders. For some reason he gained access to secret ops he obviously shouldn't have known about.
'07 Baghdad airstrike is the one I can think of off the top of my head. He's lucky they dropped the 'aiding the enemy'. He's also lucky he wasn't charged with treason - 9:34 AM

The oath taken by public officials and the military swears to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. The ones guilty of treason are the people who took that oath & then trampled on the bill of rights. How can they take pride in defending our freedom when we give more and more of our rights away each day? I don't remember when the voters were asked to approve a new Bill of Not So Many Rights As We Used to Have But New Technology And All What Are You Going To Do?.

@Cleo, treason can only be committed during war time. That's why he wasn't charged with it...the government would have lost.
- Cleodacat said...
His disclosure did occur during wartime. The war on terror will be ongoing just as the cold war existed for years. His act put our countrymen and our allies at risk.
- Lola said...
A government will take every bit as much power as its citizenry will allow it, legal or no. Government has long used fear of others and the unknown to take away freedoms and use the excuse, "as long as you aren't hiding anything you have nothing to fear." We all have something to fear from a government who blithely takes away our freedoms in the pursuit of power guised as "safety."
Protest and dissent against a government abusing its powers always starts small and those who are brave enough to speak up are nearly always branded traitors until the crimes a government commit start to affect even those who have nothing to hide/nothing to fear.
We all have something to fear from a government who would seize illegal power from its citizenry. We all have something to fear from a government that breaks the laws of our nation and then punishes those that inform the citizenry of broken laws by declaring that it is the whistleblower has broken the law (and please don't look to closely at what we have done). We all have something to fear from a government that tries to convince us all that what they are doing is in our best interest, that they did nothing wrong and scream, "Traitor...TRAITOR!" when the real traitors are those in our government who would circumvent the constitutional protections afforded to us all in a pursuit of more and more power.
We ALL have something to fear. We just haven't realized it yet. - 10:48 AM
- Lola said...
Cleo, a war can only be declared by a resolution of the US Congress. The government calls it a "War" on Terror because it frightens us and makes us willing to let the government do whatever it sees fit.
There is no "War". We must be engaged in a legal act of war for treason to exist. Further, the act had to have been committed with the express intention of aiding and abetting the enemy. Even during war, if someone commits and act that has the unintentional result of aiding and abetting, it is not treason under our Constitution. - 10:52 AM
- msgirl said...
He spoke the truth, and exposed war crimes. Nothing that has been exposed by him and Stockton has been shocking, we all knew it. I think this guy was so shocked by what he saw after he was a true patriot unhinged him and he became a bit berserk. I can understand that.
i haven't seen any evidence of others being ecposed by him, if someone could pinkie that would be great.
The whole thing is tragic, for him and for us as it shows what kind of state we as a country is in.
None of this surveillance is new, it's been going on for decades, probably since Regan or Bush. - 11:03 AM

He also shared plans about missions that were covert,names of allies etc.
He is not a good person and I don't understand why or how anyone can be his defender. He tossed countless people under the bus. - 11:26 AM
- Seven of Eleven said...
Manning isn't a hero. He didn't give out information because he thought it would help someone or because he believed in something greater than himself. Read the transcript between Manning and Lamo. Manning was unstable and insecure, and the only reason he released that information was because he was bored and lonely (he said this himself, several times). He's an accidental hero at best to the movement.
- Lola said...
Bacon Ranch, I repeat...war can only be declared by a congressional resolution. Legally, we never were (or are) in a "War". We may use that term colloquially to refer to a military action but legally, it has no meaning. There is a reason that the government has named the actions we have taken in the last decade+ "Operations".
I suggest you look up what is legal required by our Constitution to declare actual war.
I repeat, the Constitution states that the country must be at war for someone to be guilty of treason. We are not at war. - 11:47 AM

I suggest you visit Gitmo.
I also suggest you show respect for the people who defend your rights. - 11:57 AM

@Kels Agree.
Accidental hero or not, we need to know what people are risking there lives for or why there is this financial struggle throughout the world that we are all paying for because of SECRETS, MONEY, and POWER of the few.
We can't keep believing the lies just to feel more comfortable. We can't keep cosigning to wars brought on by our government risking our friends and neighbors and innocents.
Also, the troops are already at risk! I don't think Bradley Manning is responsible for THAT!

The same will happen to Manning. He is a hero as an advocate of transperancy and equality for everyone except your country. Go on with your 'with us or against us' mentality, the rest of us with immortalize him as he should and cross our fingers he gets the Nobel. - 12:11 PM

It's an insult to Snowden to compare him to this pale bastard. This POS is lucky not to have gotten life (or his life). He exposed a lot of people who will die painfully because he wanted fame and political influence. I hope he doesn't live enough to get paroled.

I'm glad that information is getting out and liars are being exposed, but Manning is not a hero and it's ridiculous to paint him as a white hat because he stole military information and put it in a Lady Gaga CD case. Snowden at least is TRYING to do something, not acting like a pissy 15 year old mad because he can't download porn at school. - 12:34 PM
- Lola said...
Gitmo has nothing to do with a formal declaration of war (which we are not under) or treason (which you have to be under a formal declaration of war to commit). We are not in a War. Iraq was not a war, Afghanistan was not a war, the war on terror is not a war (as legally defined, not as colloquially used)...the US has only declared war 5 times in its history: The War of 1812; The Mexican-American War; The Spanish American War; World War I and World War II.
And respectfully, it is people who sit back and allow their government to break laws and subvert our rights that show no respect to those that give their hearts and their lives to protect our rights.
I fail to see how being against an illegal government subversion of the laws and rights of our country and/or being against an illegal military action (for which the government is to blame, not the soldiers who did/do their jobs) is not showing respect for our military.
I'm also sorry you missed the civics lesson that laid out exactly what the Constitution defines as war. - 12:35 PM

I have more of a problem with the stuff our government is secretly doing around the world than I do with people exposing our doing shit we shouldn't be doing in the first place that really has no bearing on our national security as much as it has on our corporate-run military industrial complex' thirst for power. There are more power-hungry shitheads like Cheney and Rumsfeld tucked away in safe places in our government than we could count. Before Bush II ended his 2nd term, he was busy putting right wing chickhawk idealogues in every nook and cranny in DC.

It's the selective persecution and prosecution that bothers me. Fuck the injustice!
- surfer said...
Very well said, Lola (and I'm not American). I also agree about Cheney and Rumsfeld.
Manning was a whistle-blower who is now paying dearly for what he did, but the judge rejected charges that his actions aided the enemy.
From an opinion piece on CNN's website:
Manning was sentenced to 35 years, but should have been sentenced to time served already: 3½ years, 112 days of which was improper pretrial detention, also known as torture. He suffered prolonged solitary confinement and was forced to be naked.
If anyone is interested, here is the full piece:

@cleodacat - The oath is to defend against enemies foreign and domestic.
We both know that a soldier has a duty not to follow illegal orders.
Manning found out about war crimes. Which is what killing medical personnel and the wounded are.
Reporting those crimes isn't treason; it's justice. 35 years is an insane sentence. 5 years would be appropriate.
35 years is more than Squeaky Fromme got for trying to assassinate Gerald Ford ffs. - 6:09 PM

That's just my humble opinion. - 11:23 PM
- SophiaB said...
Treason is when you conspire to damage a country through collaborating with enemies foreign or domestic.
Manning was honoring his oath to the Constitution by exposing war crimes, many of which have never been prosecuted.
Blaming the messenger is an age old tactic of despots everywhere.
How is what he did even remotely treasonous?
This country has been changing centuries of established legal precedence to get a whole raft of war criminals and corpirate thieves off the hook.
What the hell has happened to us? Has anyone in the military read the same Constitution I have lately? Or better yet the Geneva Conventions? - 11:30 PM
- SophiaB said...
Each and every member of the military who uses the excuse of 'following rider's is JUST AS GUILTY as the Nazis prosecuted during the Nuremberg Trials. Every member of the military is accountable to the Constitution, is responsible for honoring the Geneva Conventions, and is required to report war crimes, not COMMIT them.
The TRAITORS are the people who spent their time writing legal justifications (John Woo), authorizing waterboarding(Cheney and Rumsfeld), testifying falsely in front of the UN to gin up a conflict with a country that had NOTHING TO DO with the so-called terrorist attacks on 9/11 (Colin Powell), and a MYRIAD of evil sons of pitches who sent American citizens to a series of defenseless hellholes like Afghanistan, Iraq, and etc etc etc for reasons that have nothing to do with the false flag operation that started it all.
Manning told THE TRUTH. Whistleblowers are required by law to be provided with support and protection.
Accusing HIM of treason is like accusing a priest of mind control while he is delivering a sermon.
Our priorities and capacity to comprehend the meaning of ethics, morality, and international law all appear to have skidded into a ditch full of toxic muck.
When an elected president of the United States of America authorizes a drone strike on an INNOCENT 16 year old AMERICAN CITIZEN and there is no immediate impeachment and arrest for committing a WAR CRIME I would say this 'democracy' has just jumped the shark.
God save us all. - 11:45 PM

@Kels, this is not the most articulate or elegant statement, but I must say I agree 1,000,000,000%. THANK. YOU. And please do not listen to the bullies. Apparently the mind control Big Brother has perfected has succeeded with a bunch of readers today.

The US is stalling on giving even MILITARY trials to these poor socks because THEY HAVE NO EVIDENCE. It is just a huge embarrassment and is a permanent stain on our national reputation.
Dawn. Just read a paper! Even the lamestream media has admitted Gitmo is a farce.
Wishing some go to Gitmo tells me all I need to know about you.
You are an ignorant, incurious, kneejerk bigotted bully.
I only hope you and your ilk are the first in line when the beartrap that has been set for us all snaps shut.

Manning is a teeny tiny geeky spazzy GAY GUY! Don't you think he MIGHT have been playing along with the bullies as a cover story? How many gay guys pretend to be straight? How many sissy boys pretend to be macho? This is the MILITARY. Weakness is not tolerated. Rape, murder, hazing and harassment are the NORM. TO BE EXPECTED.
Are we all blind and dumb and totally incapable of reading the daily headlines? The military environment is a toxic, dangerous stew of psychpaths and power junkies, not to mention Mind Control Central.
what was Manning SUPPOSED TO DO? Say, Hey guys, cut it OUT!?
Yeah RIGHT. AND END UP DEAD IN A DITCH OR MISSING. - 12:09 AM
- SophiaB said...
Yes THIS. before he was ever even charged, he was subjected to horrific treatment at the military base where he was originally locked up.
Our DOJ has been taken over by Bush era prosecutors who were never let go when OBomber took office, even though that wad a time honored precedence.
Democrats have been prosecuted and thrown in jail by this DOJ when they never did a thing wrong. I no longer vote and stopped registering as a Dem ages ago, but something just ain't right here.
This Administration is ignoring the Constitution, common law, and common sense. It is ignoring the global catastrophe unfolding at Fukushima. It is twisting and turning like a bucket of eels rather than give a straight answer on the Surveillance State we live in.
Something just AIN'T RIGHT. - 12:18 AM

You conspiracy people need to get some serious real life perspective. Syria GASSED and killed hundreds, women and CHILDREN included. Gassed their OWN people. You you're worried the govt reading your friggin emails!!!???? Perspective, people , perspective. Now THATS a govt out of control.
And dont you think obama wld have closed Gitmo if feasible? Obviously theres alotta bad people there that cant be let go. Dont you think he may know more than us?? And the so called innocent 16 yr old killed was a muslim convert to al quaida. You know, a traitor!!!!! I dont feel sorry for him; the thinking of these fanactics is to live to die gloriously. They are fools to think death helps their cause. - 7:53 AM

Oh and manning now wants to transition to a woman, while in jail, on our dime. Theres your hero. Using our money for himself.
- Desiree said...
Ok and how's that different for my dime going towards shit I disagree with? It doesn't. Your point is moot.
- Desiree said...
However I doubt that will happen.
- auntliddy said...
Props for using moot. I enjoy an intelligent arguement :)
- Lola said...
God...will people please fucking go on Wikipedia and spend 2 fucking minutes looking up the definition of "treason" under the US Constitution?
No, auntliddy, the kid didn't commit treason. And how do you think governments that end up gassing their own citizens end up that way? If you think breaking 4th amendment Constitutional rights against illegal searches is okay, I can only shake my head at your complete lack of knowledge about world history and civics (which unfortunately is the state of a large part of our populace). Further, do you think being concerned about the illegal encroachment on civil, constitutionally protected liberties means that people are somehow unable to be concerned about another government gassing it's own citizens? Strangely, I am able to be concerned (and upset) about any number of things at once. I contain multitudes.
It is all only a matter of degrees in what a government trying to grab power will do to get that power. The constitution was designed to save us from the abuses of government's quest for power and to protect us from those who choose to ignore it.
Sure, it's fine for you if you have nothing to hide....that is, until you have something you didn't even know you needed to hide.
But it's better to just stick our heads in the sand and pretend our government only has our best interests at heart and have no self serving motivations whatsoever.
People who are willing to give up freedom for safety deserve neither. - 11:22 AM
- Lola said...
And for the record, since your use of "conspiracy theorists" would imply that you think we're all right wing numnuts...I speak as a dyed in the wool, Clinton loving, liberal who has a real concern about the direction our government has taken in regards to the erosion of Constitutional rights and the protection thereof.
Oh, and I also have nothing to hide...until the government decides that I do. - 11:29 AM
- Desiree said...
Amen Lola!
- auntliddy said...
Lola, i am in no way implying you're wingnuts. Look, im probably older than most of you, and I once would have thought the same way. But as years passed, i saw that nothing like what may happen actually happens, so im not quite so fearful and negative about it. Sure, the goverment, or anybody good with computers, can rearrange facts to make you seem guilty of something when you arent. But it hasnt happened. We live in a fluid, transparent society. We have bank accounts, we talk on the phone, we get mail, and with advent of internet, we are all exposed to some degree. It is just part of life. No one likes it but we have to trust each other to do the tight thing.
- auntliddy said...
When I look up treason- which is actually not what I said, I said traitor-it reads:" The betrayal of one's own country by consciously or purposely acting to aid its enemies." No where does it state it can only happen in state of declared war. I stand by what I said, he was a traitor. A traitor is guilty of treason. So perhaps you should be looking up some stuff.... a burn! And Im kidding so dont get all chaotic and twirly.

@Cleo it is obvious to me that you off any education in history, civics, or the law. You have drunk da koolaid of VS that our propaganda artists in the CIA have been feeding the American public for DECADES.
VERY SIMPLY: there is no declaration of war passed by Congress as required by the Constitution. Every single troop deployment over the past 20 or so years has been without authorization. The creepy War on Terror is a SOUNDBITE that the media has repeated so many times that we all hear it in our sleep. It is pure fearmongering but it is not REAL.
The CIA invented and PAID FOR Al Queda. Look it up.
I appreciate your service but you should have gotten an education instead. I feel very very sorry for you.
Just go to the Iraq Veterans Against War website. Don't listen to me. Listen to your fellow military cohort.
Why are we allowing a government FULL OF DRAFT DODGERS send young men off to hellholes to get their asses shot off, their brains destroyed, their spirits broken just to shoot a few illiterate desert fighters who have proven, by the way, to be more successful warriors than the whole Russian military?
Just. Ask. Questions. And before you go off on me, I am a proud daughter of a military man who resigned from the Navy in disgust over Nixon's shenanigans. BushObama areCIA assets and our Constitutional rights have been flushed right down the toilet by these TOOLS.
I feel so sorry for you. You have NO IDEA what you are talking about. You have been turned into a robot spouting talking points. I wish you the best. Maybe you should just not ask any questions, now I think about it. Your head might explode. - 9:37 AM

WORD!! I feel like the people who join the military get inculcated into a cult of violence. They get their spirits broken in basic training to never ask questions or stand up to their commanding officer. The few who do get killed, like that football star. The military is a cesspool of violence, powermongering, and raping and pillaging. What Manning released is not an anomaly. IT IS THE NORM.
WAR IS A RACKET. It is a way for lazy vicious psychopaths to have fun and make money. So long as there is no draft, ordinary Americans can pretty much ignore the carnage.
Sadly, our planet has reached the final stage of resource depletion, species collapse, radiation contamination, global warming, and atmospheric deterioration, not to mention the magnetic pole shift. Methane release is about to skyrocket. The bees are dying. The weather situation is officially out of control. Kids, this situation is FUBAR, to use a common military term.
I am doing my best to enjoy every day and pray ceaselessly that the simultaneous spirithas awakening that is occurring will save SOME OF US. Not that it matters. We have messed this planet up ROYALLY in under 200 years. How does that qualify us as a superior race or deserving of survival???
I see no sign at all of courage or leadership sufficient to keep this planet on the livable side of the equation. Yes, there are LOTS of heroes doing their best to preserve what is left but most of humanity is either lost in the struggle for survival on a daily basis or so mesmerized by the Machine that they JUST DON'T CARE. the effort it would take to pull us back from the brink or even for a small percentage of us to survive just isn't being made. Its like we are focusing on making gum wrappers for a collection rather than figuring out how to feed ourselves without bees or safe fish in the sea. The water is evaporation from land, all is going into the ocean, and the ocean is officially permanently irradiated by the first of MANY failing nuclear contamination plants.
We are SOOOOOO SCREWED. What Bradley Manning (now Chelsea, according to her choice) did was expose a tiny little pustule on a body that is riddled with the fatal disease of violence and hubris. - 10:11 AM

And Obomber left them there. And started murdering innocent US citizens with drone strikes. F'ing war criminals.

Anne of Green Gables and all but one of its sequels take place in the Canadian province of Prince Edward Island, near the end of the nineteenth century. Montgomery consistently emphasizes place; each book in the series contains a thorough and affectionate description of Prince Edward Island. But Montgomery leaves the temporal setting vague, possibly because she wants her work to seem timeless, equally applicable in any age, or possibly because she wants to create in Avonlea a magical place outside the realm of ordinary times. Montgomery refers only twice in the entire series to events that place her fiction in historical context: the Crimean War (which ended in 1856) has occurred a generation or two in the past, and World War I (which began in 1914) is an event of the remote future. Montgomery captures the innocence of peaceful times in simple farm communities where political awareness is limited to contests between the Liberal and Conservative parties for control of the province and where even the best informed citizens seem oblivious to the intrigue of world politics.

Literary Qualities
Anne of Green Gables features a episodic plot; that is, the narrative consists of a series of minor conflicts, most of which are quickly resolved. Sometimes the resolutions to these conflicts seem to be too dependent on chance or coincidence, but as a whole, Anne's varied adventures keep the plot interesting and create suspense.
The many details that Montgomery provides about Anne reveal the character's good qualities and her faults. Overall, Anne is very much like the children in other early twentieth-century novels, but some modern readers may find her a little too agreeable, too optimistic, or too talented. Also, the narrative focuses on Anne to such an extent that minor characters lack depth, a fault typical of young adult literature at the time the novel was written.
Montgomery's novel falls into the literary tradition established by Horatio Alger, an author who published during the last third of the nineteenth century a series of extraordinarily popular "rags-to-riches" stories. Alger's works describe the successes of young orphans who are intelligent, hard-working, ambitious, good-natured, and honorable—in short, ideal young people according to the standards of the time. Although Anne Shirley never quite becomes the "model child" she wants to be, her triumphs in Avonlea follow the Horatio Alger pattern, as she starts out as an unwanted orphan and becomes one of the most beloved children in Avonlea. Like Alger's orphans, Anne...

Social Sensitivity
Anne of Green Gables addresses social problems of the early twentieth century, some of which remain relevant today. Writing before American women even had the right to vote, Montgomery reiterates that boys and girls are equally intelligent and talented. Although she portrays gender roles that could be considered stereotypical today—Anne goes on to become a teacher later in the series—her ideas were progressive for 1908. For instance, all the capable graduates of the Avonlea school, whether male or female, continue their studies at Redmond College.
Montgomery also stresses the importance of a good education and the need for enthusiastic, caring teachers. Miss Muriel Stacy's sympathy and encouragement motivate her students far more effectively than does Mr. Phillips's sarcasm. Other books in the series explore teachers' qualifications and the process of teacher selection.
Anne of Green Gables also reflects some of the negative attitudes of 1908. Although some characters leave Avonlea, many residents believe that people should spend their entire lives in the same place. Most townspeople not only are convinced that Prince Edward Island is the best place in the world but are suspicious of any idea or person not native to the area. Townspeople especially dislike "Yankees"; they consider French-speaking Canadians intellectually and socially inferior, and treat them with a condescension that is unacceptable today.
(The entire section is 216 words.)
Topics for Discussion
1. One criticism of Anne of Green Gables is that, although Montgomery claims that Anne has a number of flaws, her faults are minor ones, such as daydreaming and talking too much. Is Anne a believable character, or does she possess more talents, virtues, and knowledge than could be reasonably expected in a girl her age?
2. Before the end of the novel Anne has silenced all of her critics and won almost all the honors for which she has competed. Are her successes believable, or does good luck play too big a role in her conquests?
3. Throughout the book Anne uses her imagination, at times improving her situation and on occasion causing trouble for herself and others. Using specific examples, discuss the positive and the negative effects of her imagination.
4. Even though Anne is relatively independent in her attitudes, conformity or the sense of belonging is important to her. In what ways does she want to be like others, and in what ways is she willing to be different? Would a girl today share her attitudes?
5. What was Anne's life like before she came to Green Gables? How do her past experiences affect her personality?
6. How does Anne make friends at the Avonlea school? Would an eleven-year-old like Anne be accepted as quickly in a modern school? Why or why not?
7. Anne makes many friends in Avon-lea, but some of these friendships are very special. Who are her "special" friends, and why are...
(The entire section is 362 words.)
Ideas for Reports and Papers
1. The educational system described in Anne of Green Gables is clearly different from today's. Compare the schools you have attended with the Avonlea school.
2. In some ways Anne and her friends seem very much like eleven-year-olds today, but there are major differences in attitudes, experiences, and pastimes. Compare the attitudes and activities of Anne and her friends with those of modern eleven-year-olds.
3. Anne of Ingleside, the final novel in the Anne series, relates the experiences of Anne's children. How are their lives different from hers as described in Anne of Green Gables? How does each child resemble Anne?
4. Sometimes a writer uses the differences between the central character and other characters as a way of revealing the central character's personality. Explain how Montgomery uses this device in Anne of Green Gables.
5. A frequent literary theme is the difference between appearance and reality. How does Anne of Green Gables develop this theme?
6. Gilbert says he admires Anne for her "lack of sameness." Discuss both the admirable and the unpleasant elements in Anne's personality. Does Anne seem more like a real person because of this combination of negative and positive characteristics?
(The entire section is 189 words.)
Montgomery wrote six sequels to Anne of Green Gables: Anne of Avonlea, Chronicles of Avonlea, Anne of the Island, Anne of Windy Poplars, Anne's House of Dreams, and Anne of Ingleside. Generally considered the best novel in the series, Anne of Green Gables introduces several important characters who reappear in the sequels. Anne of Avonlea relates Anne's two years as the Avonlea schoolmarm and the developing friendship between Anne and Gilbert Blythe. Anne of the Island depicts Anne's four years at Redmond College in Nova Scotia. During this period Diana Barry marries and has children, and Anne and Gilbert become engaged. In Anne of Windy Poplars, Anne recounts her experiences as principal of Summerside High School in a series of letters to Gilbert, who is attending medical school at Redmond College. Through a combination of charm, intelligence, and good luck, Anne again succeeds in befriending almost everyone in the community. The novel ends as she departs for Avonlea to marry Gilbert. Anne's House of Dreams describes Anne and Gilbert's wedding and their first three years together in a small rented house halfway between Glen St. Mary and Four Winds Point. In the closing pages Gilbert purchases Ingleside, a house in Glen St. Mary. Anne of Ingleside relates the experiences of Gilbert, Anne, and their six children. The other book in the Anne series, Chronicles of Avonlea, is a...

Home > Wellness > Health Library > Lymphadenectomy for Endometrial Cancer
Lymphadenectomy is surgery to remove lymph nodes. A lymphadenectomy, also called lymph node dissection, may be done to examine certain lymph nodes for endometrial cancer cells. The removal and examination of the cancerous lymph nodes will determine the exact stage and grade of the cancer and may reduce the spread of the disease. The procedure can be done through an abdominal incision or by laparoscope.
A lymphadenectomy may be done:
Lymphadenectomy usually is an extensive operation in which lymph nodes in different parts of the pelvis are removed. This is necessary because cancer can spread through the lymph system to other areas of the body.
Lymphadenectomy usually is done under general anesthesia. The length of time required for recovery depends upon the extent of the procedure. If the procedure is done with a laparoscope rather than by open abdominal incision, recovery time may be shorter. But most surgeons have more experience with open surgery than with laparoscopic surgery. Laparoscopic surgery may take longer than open surgery unless the surgeon is well-experienced with laparoscopic techniques.
Some doctors recommend that a lymphadenectomy be performed in all cases of endometrial cancer. Others believe that this procedure might not be needed when the cancer is diagnosed at a very early stage and is found to be a slow-growing grade. Lymphadenectomy may be needed if:
Removal of lymph nodes helps to determine whether cancer is present and provides more accurate information about the extent and type of cancer cell growth. Removal of the cancerous lymph nodes may reduce the spread of cancer.
Risks of a lymphadenectomy include:
Lymphadenectomy often is not done if earlier tests show that low-grade cancer is in a very early stage.

The MasterControl Customer Complaints software is an integrated customer complaint management system that is a configurable and easy-to-use solution that helps ensure regulatory compliance.

MasterControl continuously develops new methods to cut the time involved in validating a system and to make it easier to validate software upgrades, both of which are essential in lowering overall validation cost.

Customer complaint management software systems, such as the one from MasterControl (MasterControl Customer Complaints), is a complete and easy-to-use software solution that helps FDA-regulated contract organizations automate customer complaint handling, integrate it with the rest of a company's quality system, and manage customer complaint resolution more effectively. Here's how the customer complaint software from MasterControl can answer key challenges in the customer complaint process:
Customer Complaints Handling Challenges | The MasterControl Customer Complaint System | |
Different Sources of Customer Complaints
In a manual customer complaint system, customer complaints may come from different sources (e-mail, phone, fax, letters, corporate Web site, sales reps, etc.). These complaints may languish in someone's 'in' box, especially if there is no formal complaint system and standard procedure for processing them. Without a cohesive structure that captures complete information in a timely manner, it is almost impossible to formulate a strategy for customer complaint resolution. |
Centralized Source for Customer Complaints
MasterControl's customer complaint software system provides a secure and centralized platform for receiving customer complaints and storing all subsequent documentation pertaining to investigation and correction of the problem. A single, cohesive customer complaint system makes search and retrieval of complaints and related data easy. The complaint system offers the capability to formalize and standardize customer complaint handling through a simple three-step process. MasterControl's customer complaint system is Web-based, so customers can log complaints from virtually anywhere. |
Disconnected Complaint Handling Processes
When a company uses different customer complaint system tools that are not connected, tracking complaints and follow-up work can be a major obstacle. If there is no standardized response to customer complaints, the required documentation may fall through the cracks and correction of the problem, delayed. |
Connected Customer Complaint Software
MasterControl's customer complaint software system connects the customer complaint process to the rest of the quality system, providing links to corrective actions and adverse-event handling. Via an external link, customers can integrate MasterControl Customer Complaints with other computer systems. For example, a link can be provided on a company Web site, within a CRM application (or any application that supports URL links), so employees, customers, or partners can easily initiate a customer complaint. Connectivity will help managers track a customer complaint from initiation to completion and give them the ability to proactively improve the complaint-handling process. |
Unwarranted Legal Exposure
In a manual system, record keeping may be inadequate for the purpose of answering a product liability lawsuit. Managers don't have the ability to track customer complaints and see the compliance program as a whole, both of which are essential in developing a strategy for preventing unwarranted legal exposure. |
Controlled Legal Exposure with Customer Complaint Software
MasterControl's customer complaint management software system provides advanced reporting capabilities for real-time view of the state of a company's compliance. It allows continuous monitoring and promotes improvement, both of which can help increase a company's readiness to answer any possible lawsuit. A controlled record-keeping environment that shows how complaints are investigated and addressed may help reduce legal exposure. |
Inefficient Customer Complaint Process
A manual customer complaint management system is plagued by bottlenecks: misplaced or overlooked complaints coming from disparate sources, incomplete information, lack of follow up, and inadequate response. All of these can result in delayed complaint resolution. |
Efficient Customer Complaint Process
The MasterControl customer complaint management system will reduce the life cycle of the complaint process by streamlining different steps and consolidating different sources of customer complaints under a single platform. It provides a customizable form that captures all necessary information, provides automatic follow-up via e-mail notification, and incorporates escalation to ensure timely response. |
The customer complaints management system from MasterControl is a robust software solution that manages customer complaint handling more efficiently and effectively with the help of the following features:
Simple Three-Step Process - This best-practice process is incorporated in a pre-configured, multi-page form that starts with the processing of a customer complaint by the coordinator/manager, automatically moving to the internal investigation step (conducted either by an expert or a team of experts), and culminating with the resolution of the issue as approved by the appropriate manager. Additional forms can be customized in the customer complaint management software according to a company's special needs.
Compliant System - 21 CFR Part 11 requires that there be an audit trail of electronic records to demonstrate their reliability. MasterControl maintains a secure, time-stamped audit trail that documents the identity of anyone who creates, modifies, or deletes an electronic record (such as a customer complaint file), when the action occurred, and the changes made to the record. MasterControl's customer complaint software meets FDA requirements for electronic signature and software validation. It facilitates compliance with regulatory standards such as ISO 9000, ISO 14000, and ISO 13485.
Analytics and Reporting Tool - MasterControl's customer complaints system has advanced reporting capabilities increase management oversight and demonstrate appropriate controls to regulatory agencies. The solution includes the following customizable reports:
CAPA Integration - MasterControl gives you the option to integrate customer complaint handling with the corrective and preventive action (CAPA) process to automatically escalate any serious quality problem.
Sustained Compliance - Regulated companies cannot ignore customer complaints. They are the ultimate indicators of product/service quality. Every complaint has to be properly evaluated and investigated, and the situation has to be corrected. The customer complaints system from MasterControl is designed to streamline and simplify the complaint process, foster efficiency throughout the enterprise, and keep compliance costs down. MasterControl not only helps you attain FDA and ISO compliance, it helps you sustain it year after year.
Written procedures describing the handling of all written and oral complaints about a drug product shall be established and followed. Such procedures shall include provisions for review to determine whether the customer complaint represents a serious and unexpected adverse drug experience, which is required to be reported to the FDA.
Each manufacturer shall maintain customer complaint files, establish and maintain procedures for receiving, reviewing, and evaluating complaints by a formally designated unit.
Perform management reviews: Requirements include examination of customer feedback by management.
The customer complaint software from MasterControl (MasterControl Customer Complaints) complies with GxP regulations and streamlines the complaint-handling process and reduces the lifecycle from submission to resolution. A simple, three-step process is incorporated in a pre-configured, multi-page form that starts with processing of a complaint, moving to internal investigation, and culminating with issue resolution. Includes the FDA's MedWatch 3500A form for mandatory reporting of adverse events, allowing a seamless handover to an adverse events specialist while ensuring that required data is immediately collected.

Inflexible Steel
To tell the truth, I really could not give a rat's ass about the current thrash revival. To my ears Reign in Blood and Pleasure to Kill sound just as good now as they did twenty-odd years ago and I do not need them rehashed by some young upstarts. Hence, I was fully prepared to tear apart this Strikemaster EP, Inflexible Steel for being a tired, redundant rehash of a style long past relevance. The funny thing is, three tracks into my second listen, the epic solo section in "Messiah of the Damned" shattered the armor of my prejudice like a blow from the hammer of Thor and I was laid bare, defenseless, to the fearsome assault of the redoubtable Strikemaster. It was then that I was forced to confront the undeniable truth: Redundancy be damned, these motherfuckers can thrash!
With the speed and ferocity of thrash titans like Kreator, Sodom and Slayer, the shout along choruses of Anthrax and technical flourishes in the vein of Coroner, Strikemaster are a formidable thrash unit. Guitarist/vocalist, Colonel KMU is the heart of this trio, unleashing a torrent of neck damaging riffs, flashy solos and a frantic vocal delivery that matches the speed of his right hand. The rhythm section provides rock solid support for The Colonel's thrash firestorm. Bassist, Captain Ricardo's punchy no frills playing perfectly accents the riffs amidst the rapidly shifting tempos. Drummer, Commander Chavez plays with both finesse and power, mixing straight ahead thrash beats with some well placed double bass.
The four studio tracks on Inflexible Steel are hampered by a guitar sound that is a little thin, but the playing is ferocious enough to overshadow this flaw. Some highlights from this portion of the EP include the coda of the title track which features an extended solo from Omen's Kenny Powell (I'm probably supposed to know who that is.), the frantic conclusion to "O.M.D." and the afore mentioned solo section of "Messiah of the Damned".
The three live tracks at the end of Inflexible Steel are where Strikemaster really shines. The playing is a little rougher but the tracks have a feral brutality to them that doesn't quite come across on the studio tracks. When the band kicks into the mosh riff on "Merciless Machine", I find myself searching the house for something to smash, and I mean that in a good way. Similarly, when the Colonel screams for a circle pit during "Thrashing the Blind School" I feel compelled to form one (It's just me and a Heineken can, but it's still fun.).
Given my professed apathy towards new thrash, I cannot say how Strikemaster compares to any of the other thrash revivalists competing for your cash. I can say, however, that I found Inflexible Steel to be a pleasant little trip back to 1986, and I am definitely going to listen to it again.

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- A new era for University of Colorado at Colorado Springs (UCCS) athletics begins Friday when the Mountain Lions play the first games in the new 1,250-seat UCCS Event Center.
The Mountain Lions face Fort Lewis on Friday and Adams State on Saturday. Women's games both nights begin at 6 p.m. with the men's games at approximately 8 p.m. Tickets are available at the door. Advance tickets are available by calling 719-255-3602.
The 27,000 square foot event center, located adjacent to the old Lions' Den, features high-tech sound, lighting and high-speed data capability that will make it a multi-purpose facility with uses by intercollegiate athletics, large all-campus events and conferences.
Athletic fans will notice new LED scoreboards, scrolling message score tables and improved seating, restrooms and concession areas. Also included are a large visitor's locker room, an official's locker room and a VIP area.
"I don't think I can overstate how important the new UCCS Events Center will be for the development of our athletics programs," said UCCS athletic director and women's basketball coach Stephen Kirkham. "It will positively impact us in many areas, particularly in local recruiting and alumni relations."
In addition to athletics, the event center will be used for large all-campus events, such as convocation, and will be available for rent by non-university entities.
This weekend's games will be a soft opening since some finish work remains.
Official grand opening ceremonies, featuring UCCS and CU dignitaries, is set for Jan. 22 at 4 p.m., prior to games against Regis College. Faculty, staff, students, alumni and community members are invited to attend. The ceremony will feature comments by CU Regent Steve Bosley, President Bruce Benson, Chancellor Pam Shockley-Zalabak and Student Government President Daniel Garcia. For more information about the ceremonies, call 719-255-3210.
The $9 million center began in fall 2007 with a $2 million allocation from the Office of the President of the University of Colorado. Multiple revenue sources were used to fund the balance of the project.
Following other recent construction at UCCS, the event center will seek Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification for its energy efficiency and use of sustainable building practices. The event center's opening eliminates the distinction of UCCS athletics as having the smallest venue in all of NCAA Division II.
UCCS, located on Austin Bluffs Parkway in Colorado Springs, is one of the fastest growing universities in the nation. The university offers 34 bachelor's degrees, 19 master's and five doctoral degrees. The campus enrolls about 8,500 students annually.

Poll: Governor Cuomo riding high with voters
Posted at: 01/17/2013 6:57 AM
A new Siena College poll released Thursday focuses on Governor Andrew Cuomo's policies like minimum wage, early voting and the gun control legislation he signed into law this week.
Overall, the governor's favorability rating is at 71-percent, down one point since the last poll. His jobs approval rating stayed the same at 60-percent.
Taking a closer look at how Americans feel about the governor's policies, according to the poll, 83-percent of New Yorkers support a raise in the minimum wage and Cuomo's push for new early voting laws is backed by more than two thirds of responders.
The rush in Albany to pass the toughest gun laws in the country is strongly supported by the voters. Three quarters of New Yorkers approve new restrictions on ammunitions for assault weapons and 91-percent support harsher penalties for the sale of illegal guns or bringing guns on school grounds.
