A 34-year-old female (gravida 5, term 2, para 2, abortion 2, living 2) presented to the ultrasound lab as measuring large for gestational dates. She was normotensive and asymptomatic. Her prenatal course had been unremarkable, and she reported no incidences of bleeding or pain. She had no personal or family history of birth defects. Images from a routine obstetrical ultrasound are illustrated in figures 1-4. Following the ultrasound, a fetal karyotype demonstrated a normal 46 XY male. Two weeks later, she delivered a still-born male fetus. Autopsy results confirmed the presence of an 8-cm unencapsulated neoplasm replacing the normal right kidney and extending into the lateral abdominal wall. The mass compressed the liver and inferior vena cava. There was generalized body wall edema. Microscopic examination revealed an infiltrative neoplasm composed of spindle cells with fine chromatin along with residual renal parenchyma and areas of necrosis and dystrophic calcifications.
FIGURE 1. Transverse image of the fetal abdomen demonstrating a large 5-cm cystic and solid mass in the right abdomen. Abdominal ascites is present.
FIGURE 2. Ultrasound image of the fetal calvarium displays skin thickening consistent with anasarca and hydrops.
FIGURE 3. Sonogram of the fetal scrotum shows large bilateral hydroceles.
FIGURE 4. Ultrasound image shows a large pocket of amniotic fluid. The amniotic fluid index was calculated to be 25 cm, indicative of polyhydramnios.
Congenital mesoblastic nephroma in association with hydrops fetalis
The patient was scanned using a Toshiba SSH 140A and a 5 MHz transducer. Obstetrical ultrasound revealed a large, complex cystic mass measuring 8.5 × 6.3 × 6.1 cm within the upper fetal abdomen centered just to the right of midline and extending into the lateral abdominal wall. The mass distorted the fetal abdomen and the thoracic cavity appeared compressed. Bilateral hydroceles, ascites, and anasarca were noted consistent with fetal hydrops. The amniotic fluid index (AFI) was 25 cm or >97.5 percentile consistent with polyhydramnios. The biparietal diameter and the femur length were compatible with a 27-week gestation. The abdominal circumference measured >95th percentile for a 27-week gestation. The placenta was slightly edematous, measuring 4.6 cm in thickness. The right kidney could not be identified. Differential diagnosis considerations included multidysplastic kidney, congenital mesoblastic nephroma, and Wilm's tumor.
Mesoblastic nephroma is the most common neonatal renal neoplasm. 1 Mesoblastic nephroma is usually discovered within the first few months of life, however, it may be diagnosed by obstetrical sonography as a complex renal mass. 2 Occasionally the pregnancy may be complicated by hydramnios or dystocia, but usually the prepartum history is unremarkable. 2 Mesoblastic nephroma may demonstrate gross cystic changes involving the junction of the tumor and the normal kidney, thus mimicking a multilocular cystic nephroma. 3 Congenital mesoblastic nephromas are usually a benign disease, but in association with hydrops fetalis can result in fetal death as was the situation in this case report. After a review of the English literature, we could find only one other case of fetal hydrops in association with congenital mesoblastic nephroma that was diagnosed prenatally. 4 There were two other cases of fetal congenitalmesoblastic nephroma associated with hydrops fetalis; however, these were both diagnosed following autopsy. 5,6
Most renal anomalies result in oligohydramnios and, therefore, a renal anomaly in association with polyhydramnios should be concern for a mesoblastic nephroma. The etiology of the polyhydramnios is uncertain; however, some observations have included a relationship to gastrointestinal compression by the tumor or that the tumor will increase fetal urine production. 7 The outline of a mesoblastic nephroma may be difficult to ascertain because it is not always encapsulated in contrast to a Wilm's tumor. 8
It is important that this anomaly is diagnosed prenatally in order to ensure proper obstetrical management to avoid such occurrences as premature birth and dystocia.
Prepared by Crosby L. Gernon, MD, Chairman of Ultrasonography, and Bob Alston, BS, RDMS, RVT, Chief Sonographer, Department of Ultrasound, at Sabetha Community Hospital of Sabetha, KS.

Zoe Saldana is the first covergirl for Cosmos' newest project, a Latin magazine geared towards English-speaking Latinas, which will hit newsstands on May 1st. The beautiful Saldana opened up to the mag about her proud Latin culture. "People think of Latina women as being fiery and fierce, which is usually true. But I think the quality that so many Latinas possess is strength. I'm very proud to have Latin blood," she told the magazine.
The 33-year-old actress is currently filming the sequel to Star-Trek and even opened up about her personal experiences as a dancer. She explains how she had to quit ballet because she felt she was "dying inside." A teenager at the time, she often felt she needed and outlet other than dance to express herself, so she moved to another outlet which would let her use her voice through acting. What a great thing you did, honey, because now we get to see you on that big screen!

m4ssboss3s-mod: More heroes, more champions, more bosses, more fun!
Trapfix-database: Unleash the true power of traps!
You've always wanted to create an expansion for your favourite game?
You like teamwork?
You're savvy with TQ's tools and/or learn fast?
Then read on...
do you think it can be done with an already released mod like occult??
You first make a new mod in artmanager with name myOccult. Then quit and copy the database.arz and resources.arc into the build folders (database and resources). You have to change the name of the arz file to myOccult.arz. Then you can change database records and stuff in artmanager but when you build you have to do a right click on the top database folder and select build from there. It will update the changed records into the existing database. If however you go the F7 build method, it will empty all the .arc files and destroy the mod. (But you can recopy the .arc files back I think...if you make a mistake.)
I came here back, to try that thing with xmax. And went to thread Making the new mastery and got to that link:
But i cannot download templates, becasue the link is dead. Can anyone help me?
So the problem could be, i didnt succed before was indeed lack of templates.... or at least i think that is the problem. Because it just wont open that gameengine.dbr in any possible way i tried.
You can get the templates in this thread, but they are also included in the fanpatch.
Could that be a problem?
On the left is the picture of poinas working folder and on the right is my folder. Difference is obvious: a dont have template and records folder in database folder.
Because i have templates now, which i didnt have before, but ......
Well i am lost
Same thing happens to me, install templates does not put them in the right place, just make the folder and copy them into it.
Where is this gameengine.dbr file originally located? Maybe it is protected somehow or somthing.... and because of that it wont open?
Nevermind, that was the case.....i just createt Templates folder in put those stuff in it
it works now.......Thanks a lot jiaco
Base on the result,i have completed all poinas guided to change original database into like xmax.However,i think there is still a problem like siegefried2 told(i quote the message).
Can Poinas tell me detail and specific on how to repair the following problem i am kinda lazy to switch into custom maps because it took a lot of time to play the xmax.Hopefully this message replied thank you.Finally this thread will not only help me but others too.(My method of fixing "the how to build changes" in the quote)
loki-Assasin lvl 56 LEGENDARY
wind-Paladin(Peppermint) lvl "secret" NORMAL XMAX 10x
You have to look into the boss pool for the statues and change their value for whatever you changed your spawn values to. I think someone mentioned you have to change it to 3, or copy one of the statues and past it again. I'm not sure.
As for Archean Pass, it's probably the same thing.

Koch Sells 1040 Fifth Avenue
Filed under: Estates
David H. Koch, number 33 on Forbes Magazine's list of the world's billionaires, is selling up to accommodate his growing family and putting his 1040 Fifth Avenue apartment on the market. The apartment occupies the entire 15th floor of the building and was once owned by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Koch purchased it in 1995 for $9.5-million and spent and estimated $5-10 million on renovations. He and his wife felt they needed a larger space to raise what will be their third child, though the apartment at 1040 Fifth has four bedrooms, two dressing rooms, a staff room, a library, living room, dining room, conservatory, two terraces, three fireplaces, five and a half bathrooms and a wine room. The family is moving to 740 Park, which Koch says is a duplex twice the size of the Onassis apartment. The asking price is $32 million.

The Sarasota Opera has announced its plans for the company's 51st season, and it looks like it's pulling out all the stops.
Actually, because of the weak economy, especially where the arts are concerned, the company has decided to cut back the upcoming season by one week. We're told that will save money without cutting back on quality. And, this summer, the renovated house's missed side aisles will be restored, which means more comfort and access when the season begins in the fall.
But music is what makes the opera season, and Artistic Director Victor DeRenzi, in his monumental effort to offer every Verdi work, will continue the cycle with a rare staging of "Giovanna d'Arco" as part of the Masterworks Revival Series.
Verdi's seventh opera, "Joan of Arc," is reported to have had a mediocre staging at its premiere at La Scala in 1845, but it was a hit with audiences of the time. The subject lends itself to passion and drama, and the sweeping music, which includes large-scale choruses and impassioned arias, can, for those who want to brush up on the subject, be heard on recording with Caballe, Domingo, Milnes and the London Symphony Orchestra under James Levine.
A more familiar Verdian work — "La Traviata" — will turn up in the Sarasota Opera's fall season with the Sarasota Orchestra in the pit under the direction of Maestro DeRenzi.
And the winter season, which begins in February, will, along with "Giovanna d'Arco," include 10 performances each of "Cavalleria Rusticana" and "Pagliacci" (aka "Cav & Pag") and Mozart's mystical "Magic Flute," along with six family-friendly presentations — in English — of "Hansel and Gretel," with English surtitles.
There are also artists concerts, outreach programs, the wonderful youth opera and a variety of other exciting events planned. For more information, visit

lm_sensors and i2c Documentation
The picture on the right shows the interrelationships of our kernel drivers. The drivers at the top of the kernel section are "chip" drivers for specific sensors. In the middle is i2c-core, which contains the i2c and smbus protocol implementation. At the bottom of the kernel section are the algorithm and adapter drivers, which comprise the "bus" drivers for accessing the i2c bus (algorithm and adapter drivers are generally combined, except for "bit banging" drivers which use a common algorithm).
The "program" section at the top represents the lm_sensors userspace programs, including "sensors", "sensors-detect", "i2cdetect", and "isadump".
As you can see from the diagram, this is only a small part of a working lm_sensors installation. The rest of the work is done inside the kernel by two branches of lm_sensors that work together, one is called sensors while the other is i2c. You will need both in order to fully utilize lm_sensors. Depending on what kernel you are using (or more specifically what kernel your distribution has provided to you) will determine what lm_sensors is capable of doing. If you find that you cannot address all of the sensor chips you have or maybe you can't even get i2cdetect to see your adapter chip then you should check to see if lm_sensors supports your hardware on our Supported Devices Page.
A note about algorithm and adapter code: Most code for algorithm and adapters are combined into the one module as you need both in order to be able to function correctly. There are a some of exceptions to this, including "bit-banging" adapters which use the separate i2c-algo-bit algorithm, and parallel port adapters, which also use separate algorithm modules.

The American Academy of Pediatrics wants parents and caregivers to know there are new guidelines to better protect children in cars.
Because young bodies are not made to handle the forces of a car crash, the AAP is now recommending that children stay rear-facing until at least 2-years-old or the weight limit standard of the car seat manufacturer.
"I actually turned Sean around just after he turned a year old," said Barbara Taunton, of Navarre, of her son, Sean, now 2. "He had reached the height limit early and was just at the weight limit when he went in for his 1-year check-up.
"My biggest reason for turning him around was because he was so tall that his feet were kicking the seat and he was getting mad because he had no room to move them."
For more on this story, see the June 16 issue of Navarre Press or subscribe online.

Character actor James Gammon died this morning, Fri, July 16, of cancer. Gammon's gravelly voice and rugged features made him a natural for many Westerns including SILVERADO, CONAGHER and most recently, APPALOOSA. In the latter film, playing a town elder, he was hardly recogniziable. His wife, Nancy, said that Jimmy would be cremated and hopes to have a memorial at the Met Theatre in Hollywood within the month. I worked with him many years ago on a small film and he was just a nice fella. Here's the link to his listing on Internet Movie Data Base: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0304000/ As a tie-in to Civil War, he played General Grant in the 1988 mini-series LINCOLN, and also appeared inthe film, JOURNEY TO SHILOH. Gammon spoke two of my favorite movie lines: "I think there's a couple a guys up there, and this ass%+@@ is one of 'em!" - as Dawson in SILVERADO (1985) "We was all young on Missionary Ridge. Thought we'd always be that way, or die young." - as Hooker in MONTE WALSH (2003) |

Sorry to read about his passing. He was very good in all the roles he played, and was excellent as the manager of the Cleveland Indians in that series. Very correct about that line from "Silverado"...still cracks me up when I hear him say that. Regards from the Garden State, Steve |

The Hour's game show, What's on the Box?, continues this Friday, when two lucky callers will battle it out to win fantastic prizes.
All they need to do is answer questions about items that have been featured on the show and the winner picks up a great reward!

I've played through a couple times, picking up something new on each playthrough, but I'm attempting to pay especial attention to detail on this run through (thanks to Kyburz for ideas of which limitations might make the game more interesting).
So I get into the Fisheries, and ol' Peachy, after spewing out his speech about the Devil and Fontaine says: "Atlas was ours! OURS!!" Now what could he have possibly meant by that??

Have to agree with Dominic's assessment. I would imagine a blend of Freemium+Merchandising would be best: Free to play, but the for-pay merchandise includes clues and an opportunity to be a key player.This if, of course, after you have 4-5 months of awesome free content and a fanbase of some sort.
Honestly, PMing a game isn't as easy as most newbs think, and giving money to a novice is just a waste of the players' resources. If you see a game going strong and all of a sudden some fund-raiser or for-sale products show up, then you're more likely to pay up to keep things going.
And, who doesn't want a limited edition T-shirt? If the game is getting bigger and bigger, your one-of-five-hundred T-shirt could be worth some bucks a few months later at the end of the game when 10K players are searching eBay for them...

There's an elephant in the room. Allow me to address it.
The fact is that for more than 10 years independents have been looking for ways to finance their endeavors in the field of Alternate Reality Gaming and create a working business model. So far they have failed.
(Perplex City possibly being an exception, but on the other hand there never was a PC2 or a similar project. So, maybe that model was not successful enough)
I personally believe, from a business point of view(!), that the biggest weakness for an ARG is the fact that the experience is not re-playable.
A player missed an ARG and it will never ever come back.
This means that any potentially paying player who missed the experience will never become a paying player for that experience.
The hundreds of hours you invest in creating your ARG are gone soon as the ARG ends.
I personally believe that this is not a sustainable model and that ARGs will evolve into re-playable, scripted experiences. (Real Life events could, for example, still be held during the launch/first run of the experience).
Here are some of my thoughts on some optional models (for traditional ARGs as well as re-playable, scripted versions):
Freemium episode models:
Chop up your experience in chapters/episodes.
The first (couple of them for) free.
If possible, make them re-playable. If not possible, make each episode accessible to players who have not played the previous one.
Have each new episode have something extra at launch: like real life events, personalized stuff etc. Sort of like how some video games have extra bonus content at launch.
Then when you have a re-playable, scripted model you could even offer older experiences at a discount and still make money off those experiences. (NoMimes media has an excellent example of a scripted mini-ARG on their website, I believe that these type of scripted experiences could very well be the future)
Sponsorship/product placement:
I once mentioned this on Twitter and got bombarded with complaints about The Lost Experience.
However, my idea of product placement was more subtle than TLE.
For example: If you're working with video, your character have to wear clothes. Does it really matter if these clothes are sponsored?
(If it does, then logically you do not allow sponsorship for the clothing.)
If a scene is in a restaurant, why not use a restaurant that's willing to pay you? Does it really matter in which restaurant the characters have their scene? (If it does, then logically you do not allow sponsorship for the restaurant location.)
The key is to allow sponsorship/product placement for things that do not influence the story but which you would use anyway and which could be from any brand willing to pay for it.
Has your ARG finished? Did many players like it? Why not sell stuff?
Were there specifically made objects used in the game, visible in pictures/videos? Why not sell them, or even have an auction if your experience had many players. Sell T-Shirts. Sell your handwritten scripts. etc. etc.
Crowd sourcing:
I agree with the comment made earlier.
Crowd sourcing should only be used to get things going, but it is not (yet) suited for a business model.
You really, really, really have to offer something huge to have players pay to play your game.
Keep in mind that you are competing with dozens of smaller/independent free games and at any given time there are multiple bigger games that are paid for by sponsoring and have huge budgets to do the most incredible stuff imaginable.
Can you really, honestly compete with that?
Many years have passed since Majestic, so this could be worth a shot, but remember that you will have to invest heavily in such a project.
At the same time there are now many, many ways of free entertainment on the Internet. When you charge people you are no longer just competing with other ARGs, you are competing with any alternative form of entertainment a player could chose to pay for or experience for free.
As for myself. I am currently working on a project that will have some (scripted) interaction but can be replayed, so that the hundreds of hours it will take to develop it will not be lost once the game ends.
The first time the game launches will be through traditional trailheads, but after that you can replay it any time you want.

agreeing with this - however, you ahve to invest first - eg you rarely go and see a film unless you have seen marketing for it, you know of predecessors for it [eg batman series etc] or you know of the director/cast before.
there's also the bled them dry approach - ala casinos - come play for free at first -0 but then to get the next aspect/clue/etc you need to pay for it?! not nice at all but something to possibly consider
of course - there is the have a big prize aspect as well - but then you are back to the beginning of either creating the big nice prize yourself [more funding required], getting it donated [see previous] or making it part of submission - someone did this before - thought it got somethhing good - so you pay 10 units to play, 5 of that goes into the prize fund - more people that play, more prize fund... possibilty?

Many are trying the Kickstarter route these days, BUT- and this is a big but, you need to have the fan base before starting the campaign or you will ultimately get nothing. That means working free for a while. Honestly, is that anyway to really run a business. You cannot really run a real business on Crowd Funding. Sure sometimes a miracle happens on Kickstarter and someone raises an obscene amount of money, but its very difficult to be that story.
I think we need to find a way to get the general public to accept paying for the experience up front. Like seeing a movie, you have to pay before you go in the theater.
Posted: Sat Mar 24, 2012 12:17 pm
Well, there's a few examples I can think of, and one of them is actually recent (like, this just happenned today and we're debating about it in the chatroom right now)
1. now-i-know: Had a good setup, asked for money upfront, but we all expected that it was just part of the game. The timer to pay hits 0:00 and... well, he wasn't kidding. He DID want money for the game. Interest died off pretty quickly.
2. Marble Hornets: Selling DVDs and Shirts, but this was advertized through an out-of-game blog/site, so you don't have to donate but it's nice of you to since they've proven themselves to be worth the funding. (not that they're doing this for the cash, they've said at the end of the day they make enough to go buy lunch and that's it)
3. My Dad's Tapes: Just today started a kickstarter page and had an in-game character tweet about it, and the kickstarter is an odd combination of IG and OOG while acting VERY IG. I think that's what is pissing the players off the most and what to stay away from. It gives the story from Chris's point of view and his plea for money... but then you look at the donation page and it has prizes he shouldn't have his hands on (an autographed copy of the book someone else has, ect) that just seems... cheesy. The basic idea is that I think it would've been better if it was handled in the way The Joker Blogs were, esp since MDT is asking for like $3500. The Joker Blogs had an IG character link to the funding page, but then the creators had made the page OOG. "Hey, sorry for ruining the immersion, but we need money to keep this amazing series going and this and this and this are what you get if you fund us"
There's also the thing in MDT's favor that now-i-know missed- we've gotten a year's worth of free content. So, we know they're worth it, but at the same time, WHAT is the funding going towards? We have NO IDEA. Will it be worth it? Will it go to the budget? Will it just go to their pockets?
Posted: Thu Mar 22, 2012 2:42 pm
Basically you can do a Google search and come up with three ways these games make any money. 1. Sponsorship which you probably will not get prior to about a million players
2. Subscriptions, the drop of players for majestic, 75000 to 13500 shows exactly why that's a bad model.
3. Market your own IP. Ala perplex city trading cards
I would say that's a model to follow except its been years since perplex city and we have yet to see perplex city 2. Why???
Original ARG content needs a monetization model. Without it we are all doomed to fail. I have no interest in making an ARG just so a major studio can notice me and hire me for making there own game I want to keep producing original content without going bankrupt.
Im sure many of you feel the same way, lets cme together and brain storm
Posted: Mon Mar 12, 2012 7:03 pm
we are all doomed
original content needs a monetization model
I would like this thread to be an open forum to discuss the most important topic we are not discussing as puppetmasters. How do we monetize original content?

Above and Beyond (7 year old Slime Fest, Water and Candy Party)
By Robin on 25/06/2013 11:51:02 PMMy son had just started at a new school and within weeks was to turn 7. I decided a whole-class party would be a great way for his class to have fun together and would help break the ice as my boy tends to be a bit shy. However, the thought of organising a party after recently moving states, and with a 3 month old baby in tow, was a bit overwhelming! I was thrilled (...) Read more

Hooked - (Stacia Naquin)
Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Five members of the Denver Broncos were named to the 2013 Pro Bowl, the National Football League announced on Wednesday.
Cornerback Champ Bailey and quarterback Peyton Manning, who are now just two of 10 players in NFL history with 12 selections, are joined by tackle Ryan Clady, defensive end Elvis Dumervil and linebacker Von Miller as the Broncos' representatives for the Pro Bowl.
The league's annual All-Star Game will be played on Sunday, Jan. 27, at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu at 5 p.m. MST. The game will be televised nationally on NBC.
In addition to Denver's five selections, six other players were designated as Pro Bowl alternates: wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (1st alternate), guard Chris Kuper (2nd alternate), guard Zane Beadles (3rd alternate), special-teamer David Bruton (3rd alternate), punter Britton Colquitt (3rd alternate) and wide receiver Eric Decker (5th alternate).

Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
In with the Buffett rule here this year more than 36 million individuals will report small business income on there.
2011 personal income tax returns they -- partnership's sole proprietorship or S corporations.
Which often have one or -- shareholders but.
A coalition of small businesses are in support of the Buffett rule that again -- tax income of one million dollars or more at a tax rate of 30%.
Frank Knapp is one of those small business owners and CEO South Carolina small business chamber of -- TC he joins us there live from Columbia, South Carolina welcome TO.
So you are in favor of the bucket -- It's easy of course right proponent to suggest in South Carolina though there are very few small businesses earning more than one million dollars the -- -- be.
Subject to the but federal tax with your spots.
Well in South Carolina.
Really -- I could get all of the people who are claiming some to the small business income.
Over a million dollars in in my backyard for barbecued at play as -- slumped over.
They're not that many in South Carolina -- that might be more and and other areas of the country.
But in reality.
There's only about -- less than 1% of all taxpayers in this country report some small business income.
And that also make over a million dollars so it's it's very really a gave a few people in comparison to that all the taxpayers.
In on the obvious counter is what incentive would you have.
Why would you be ambitious than to grow your small business to profit more than a million dollars if -- negative be taxed so heavily.
Well look most small businesses are making anywhere near a million dollars.
People who start small business really want to work for themselves they want to do what they like.
And if they make money fine but.
Most of those of almost all of them are not -- -- -- -- think that there ever gonna make over a million dollars a year.
So this is not the Buffett rule was -- can be a disincentive for anybody to go into business it's not gonna hurt and tepid job growth at all.
Is it that you think you know wealthier people should pay more you support the proper role in general is that true.
We have -- to progressive tax system in this country.
It's based on the the concept that the more you make more income you have the higher tax.
Bracket perhaps tax rate that you should be again.
Those who can afford more should contribute more to the to a -- suffering TV I mean the president paid effective tax rate of twenty point 5% last year need 800000 dollars do you think he should pay more taxes last year.
It well I don't know that he would actually fall -- the Buffett rule.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- I don't know that's enough for not -- he's already indicated that he is able to pay more.
We're only talking about the people making over a million dollars a year that -- and that arcades have some of the small business income.
It's not that many people it's a matter of tax fairness tax equity it will not hurt the economy.
When you see you know scandals like the GSA's scandal where it's taxpayer money going to send in turns to a spot in Palm Springs are you see things like.
-- -- -- Secret Service down in South America getting reprimanded for allegedly hiring hookers does that bother you that.
When we raise taxes that's where our tax dollars are going.
Well those taxed or maybe going to those things anyway regardless whatever effective tax rate that you -- in.
Just because there happens these sort of abuse that nobody supports.
On some public entities the spending money doesn't mean that we all get to say okay five -- -- pay any taxes.
Alright frank -- we appreciate you -- taken some tough questions this afternoon thanks very much for your time and insight thanks for the opportunity.

Delta Video: Vero Bath Collection
Delta Vero Bath Collection Overview
This product has additional required/recommended options. To configure, add to your cart.
Rough In Valve Required
Product Features:
- Made in the U.S.A. (Manufacturing plants: Greensburg, Indiana; Jackson, Tennessee)
- Fully covered under Delta's limited lifetime warranty
- Superior finishing process - trim finish covered under lifetime warranty
- Inspired by slim lines and graceful arc of a ribbon, the Vero Bath Collection offers a high-end, modern look to the bath
- With a full suite of products, including accessories, Vero makes a fully coordinated bath effortless
- Dual function cartridge - separate volume and temperature controls
- TempAssure thermostatic valve cartridge with scald guard
- ADA Compliant
- Extra secure mounting assembly
- All necessary mounting hardware included
- R10000 rough-in valve sold separately (when adding to cart, valve will be offered)
Product Technologies:
- Independent Volume Control: Dual-control valve trims are what separate Delta showers from the competition. The top, smaller handle controls temperature, while the bottom, larger dial controls the water volume (flow rate). The distinct advantage to this is that you can set the temperature control to a temperature you like, and then leave it, turning the shower on and off each time with the volume control. You'll never have to fuss with the temperature again.
- TempAssure: Delta's higher-end, dual function TempAssure thermostatic valve cartridges work like a thermostat. They use a wax and spring configuration to measure and monitor the temperature of the water and automatically adjust the hot/cold mix to precisely maintain water temperatures within a safe +/- 3°F. They are also higher-flow, which is usually necessary for multi-application shower systems.
- MultiChoice Valve: Flexibility is the big benefit of the MultiChoice Universal Valve. Once the MultiChoice rough is installed, future shower function upgrades or style changes can easily be made without altering the plumbing behind the wall.
Valve Trim Specifications:
- 120-degree swing temperature dial
- Independent volume control
- Temperature control includes pre-set safety stop with override

Assume currently are two files loaded into UC.
Then I edit one of the two files outside of UC through a text editor.
I add e.g a line at the top of the file.
This change is not visible in UC.
Ok, I could click "Refresh" but it would be nice to be automatically informed by UC that a content has changed. UC should offer to load the new content (or do it automatically).
Is there a auto-resfresh function in UC ?
UltraEdit e.g. has a function which let the editor detect outside changes.

Suspense Overload!
By a customer from Beddington , 30 Jun 2010[Highly rated reviewer]
Unlike previous reviewers, I wouldn't say this movie was like the Saw movie franchise.I know that this movie was considered for the Saw Prequel but the producers quickly dismissed the idea, clearly because this movie is in a genre of it's own. What this movie brings to the table is not simply gore (although there is plenty of it), unlike many gore-fests this movie offers a massive dollop of suspense(usually missing in most gore flicks). I think if you add to it the fact that the movie takes place at night and in the dark it certainly heightens the viewers fear and even exepectation on what is to happen next. I sat at the edge of my seat throughout and enjoyed watching the movie. I wouldn't watch it again as I don't tend to like watching gore more than once.However, for me this was a low profile movie but very well made indeed. The only thing I couldn't quite understand is why the Collector collected people and the whole process (so why did he kill some and others got put in a red box).That part was very unclear, however Collector 2 starts shooting in October so we will soon know more about the Collector and what happens to Arkin(the main character played brilliantly by Josh Stewart best known from 'Criminal Minds').- Was this review helpful to you?

(248)good for fans of gore, nothing for fans of intelligent horror
By a customer , 30 Nov 2013Rather disappointing. very gory and not really intelligent horror. some of the traps are interesting. but there are quite a few logical errors.- Was this review helpful to you?

A tense thriller with some gruesome stuff
By CarnageAce (94 reviews) , 04 Oct 2013This film was a good thriller with Horror mostly in the form of gore, traps and .......... this film needs watching not summing up, but this is a dark movie that gets the viewer involved it is a little slow in places but it works. The next film 'the collection' i want to see but the thought of it makes me uneasy so I guess this film did its job.- Was this review helpful to you?

Watch where you step
By Sleepwell (17 reviews) , 13 Sep 2013I watched 'The Collection' recently, enjoyed it and thought 'you mug why did you not watch 'The Collector first?' Anyway this first film is roughly on a par, although I would recommned wathing it before the other as there is some flow between the two. Lots of suspense, action, blood and some sentiment, which is not always the case but adds to the film as you actually do care about some of the characters. The 'Collector' is a gimp masked man of mystery very adept at setting deadly traps, hence other reviewers' references to 'Saw', but this is only passsingly similar and has several other elements that set it apart. That said if you like 'Saw' you will no doubt like this.- Was this review helpful to you?
