For Immediate Release: March 24, 2006
For Immediate Release: March 24, 2006
A young mother is unconscious and bleeding from internal injuries caused by a highway accident. A soldier is severely injured in a roadside explosion. A 50-year-old man suffers a cardiac arrest as he gets ready for work. For the "real" counterparts of these made-up case histories, the chance of survival from life-threatening injury and cardiac arrest is dismally low. Many more could survive if only they could be sustained long enough to reach a hospital alive. However, most cardiac arrest victims die before they reach the hospital, and traumatic injury is a top killer in North America. With the launch of a massive research program funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and other federal and Canadian agencies, scientists hope to learn the best ways to improve survival chances from cardiac arrest and severe trauma.
The "Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium" (ROC) will conduct collaborative clinical trials of promising new treatments for cardiac arrest (the stopping of the heartbeat) and severe traumatic injury. Along with Emergency Medical Services (EMS) agencies, ROC will involve public safety agencies, regional hospitals, community healthcare institutions and medical centers in 11 regions in the United States and Canada and as many as 15,000 patients over a 3-year period. Communities involved in ROC will learn about the study in a comprehensive community education effort to be conducted over the next 6 months to a year.
"Surviving traumatic injury and cardiac arrest is a serious public health issue. Tens of thousands of Americans die each year from sudden cardiac arrest and trauma. The good news is that there is a growing body of research -- basic research and small studies -- that suggests a significant number of these people can be saved," said Elizabeth G. Nabel, M.D., director of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) of the NIH, the lead federal sponsor of the research effort.
Other funding agencies include the U.S. Department of Defense, the NIH's National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, the Institute of Circulatory and Respiratory Health of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, Defence Research and Development Canada, the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada, and the American Heart Association. The initial funding commitment to the Consortium is $50 million.
"This is the first time we have used large-scale clinical trials to improve the treatment of patients with traumatic injury and cardiac arrest. Similar studies in patients with heart attack and heart failure have answered questions about the best treatments. As a result, we've seen greatly improved survival for these disorders. That's what we want to do with cardiac arrest and traumatic injury," said Myron Weisfeldt, M.D., professor and chair of internal medicine at Johns Hopkins University and chair of the steering committee for the research effort.
All of the interventions to be tested in the new program will have been shown in smaller, single center studies to be safe and to potentially have a life-saving effect. According to Weisfeldt, the Consortium's testing of new techniques will provide the large-scale proof of effectiveness needed to support widespread adoption and use.
An important goal of the ROC will be the evaluation of interventions in terms of benefit to cognitive outcomes, as the ultimate goal of resuscitation is to return victims to their prior functional capacity.
The first treatments to be tested will be highly concentrated forms of a saline solution similar to the body's own fluids. Typically, in the crucial early minutes before blood transfusions can be safely administered in hospital, trauma patients receive normal saline solution intravenously in the field to compensate for blood loss and buy time. In the new trial, trauma patients with either signs of blood loss or severe brain injury will receive one of three saline solutions -- standard normal saline, high concentration saline, or high concentration saline with dextran, a circulation-enhancing substance. The two concentrated solutions are designed to compensate for blood loss more effectively, lessen excessive inflammatory responses and prevent brain swelling. These effects in turn could potentially lead to a reduction in organ failure for patients with major blood loss and improved function for patients with brain injury.
The second study will test a device to enhance blood flow during CPR. This device is a one-way valve that fits between the airbag used to introduce air into a person in cardiac arrest and the flexible plastic tube that goes through the nose or mouth and into the lungs to help with breathing. The valve can also be used with a facemask that goes over the patient's nose and mouth. During CPR, the one-way valve creates a small vacuum inside the patient's chest, which increases the return flow of blood to the heart.
Other possible future studies include testing of new drug approaches to aid resuscitation from cardiac arrest and evaluation of novel strategies to control hemorrhage.
There are an estimated 330,000 out-of-hospital cardiac deaths each year in the United States. Most of these are from sudden cardiac arrest, although the exact numbers are not known. In cardiac arrest, the heart stops beating effectively, blood does not circulate and no pulse can be felt. The victim collapses suddenly into unconsciousness. Heart attacks, which are caused by a blockage of a coronary artery, can sometimes lead to cardiac arrest. A common underlying cause of sudden cardiac arrest is an abrupt disorganization of the heart's rhythm called ventricular fibrillation, which can be triggered by a heart attack or can just represent a catastrophic rhythm disturbance. Unless cardiac arrest victims are treated within minutes (by defibrillation to shock an abnormally beating heart back into normal rhythm or CPR followed by or in conjunction with other procedures), they will die.
Severe injury is also a major public health problem. It is the number one killer of both children and young adults up to age 44. As a disease of young people, it is also the leading cause of life years lost. In 2002, there were over 161,000 fatal injuries in the United States. The leading causes of death following injury are brain injury, blood loss, and organ failure from excessive inflammation.
In addition to rigorous review by an NHLBI-convened independent review group, the clinical trials of the new Consortium will be conducted under strict FDA guidelines that allow for patients in life- threatening situations to participate in research without individual consent at enrollment. The guidelines specify criteria that must be followed for a study to have an exception from informed consent. These include:
Each site's IRB will decide how best to inform the community, recommending approaches that might include town meetings, newspaper notices, random digit dialing surveys, and meetings with groups at high risk of either cardiac arrest or trauma -- such as local motorcycle clubs. In order to inform future studies involving exceptions from informed consent, the community consultation process used in ROC will be evaluated in at least one ancillary study.
"There is a high probability of benefit for patients participating in these trials," said Joseph Ornato, M.D., the Consortium's co-chair for cardiac arrest and chairman of the Department of Emergency Medicine at the Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center in Richmond, VA. "Not only have these therapies been shown to be potentially life-saving, but also EMS personnel involved in the research will be trained in the most up-to-date and effective methods of emergency treatment."
According to Tracey Hoke, M.D., Sc.M., NHLBI project officer for the ROC, "A federal exception of informed consent can only be granted when patients are in a life-threatening situation, when obtaining individual informed consent is impossible, and when current therapy is unproven or unsatisfactory. The most critical stipulation of the exception is that there must be the potential for direct benefit to the patients enrolled. In the case of ROC, this means that preliminary evidence of direct survival benefit must be shown prior to the development of any trial."
"These initial studies, and those that follow, will change the way all providers of trauma care, military and civilian, care for the most critically injured," said COL John Holcomb, MD, the consortium co-chair for trauma, and the Commander of the US Army Institute of Surgical Research, San Antonio, TX. "For the first time we will know, based on large and well designed studies, what interventions really make a difference."
In a typical study scenario, a first responder will arrive at the scene of the cardiac arrest or trauma and confirm the patient's diagnosis. The emergency medical technician (EMT) will then assess whether the patient meets the entrance criteria for the study and if so, treat the patient with the study intervention.
Since the studies will be blinded, the EMTs in the field will not know which treatment the patient receives. For example, in the first consortium study testing the concentrated saline solutions, all solutions of saline to be administered to patients will look alike, although they will be numbered for later identification and analysis by the study's scientists.
In addition to the clinical trials, the Consortium is also currently enrolling patients into a database of all cardiac arrest and trauma events. "This is the first multi-city comprehensive database with information about how field treatment leads to patient survival," said George Sopko, M.D., deputy project officer on the study and a medical officer with NHLBI.
The study is coordinated by investigators at the University of Washington, Seattle, Principal Investigator: Al Hallstrom, Ph.D.

Week 1 Nutrition Guide: Do the Write Thing
Keeping a food journal is the best place to start when you have a weight loss goal in mind. Find the ideal method to track your progress with nutritionist Stephanie Middleberg's tried-and-true tips.
Write for your weights sake
According to research from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center dieters who keep food journals typically lose six more pounds than those who dont, says Stephanie Middleberg, MS, RD, CDN. "As much as it's not fun, most people acknowledge the benefit of doing it. No one would ever deny that it's not helpful," Middleberg adds. "The purpose is not to count every calorie; one of the main benefits of the food journal is that it makes you more mindful and more accountable. Without a doubt, my most successful clients are those that journal week after week. They come to realize they need to."

Riders of Destiny
53 minutes
Directed by Robert N. Bradbury
John Wayne as Singin' Sandy Saunders
Cecilia Parker as Fay Denton
Forrest Taylor as James Kincaid
George 'Gabby' Hayes as Charlie Denton
Al 'Fuzzy' St. John as Henchman Bert
Heinie Conklin as Henchman Elmer
Yakima Canutt as Henchman
Earl Dwire as Slip Morgan
Lafe McKee as Sheriff Bill Baxter
Addie Foster as Mrs. Mason
Cowboy Singin' Sandy Saunders finds sheriff Bill Baxter out in the middle of the desert. The sheriff has been shot in the back and Sandy takes him back to the nearby town of Starbuck to get help. The plot gets thicker from there, involving a greedy land baron, James Kincaid, attempting to take over the town by controlling the mines, water rights and stagecoach. Sandy has to go undercover as a new hand for Kincaid's bandits to set things right and sing a few songs along the way.
Riders of Destiny was the second in the Singin' Sandy series of westerns, and John Wayne is the second actor to play Singin' Sandy, after Ken Maynard.
Since John Wayne isn't known for his singing voice, all the songs were dubbed and lip synced for Riders of Destiny.
Wayne got out of the Singing Cowboy gig because he would go to events and kids would want him to sing them a song, which made him feel embarrassed.
Wayne was replaced by Gene Autry, who made the concept of the singing cowboy known worldwide.
Singin' Sandy was considerably dark with Wayne's portrayal. Singin' Sandy had a black 10 gallon hat instead of a white one and sang grim lyrics such as "streets soon running with blood" and "you'll be drinking your drinks with the dead."
Riders of Destiny was originally to be called Singin' Sandy.

Playing Super Bowl in Chicago would be ridiculous
RICK MORRISSEY firstname.lastname@example.com February 2, 2011 12:10AM
Updated: September 24, 2012 6:25AM
DALLAS — Right now, the grassy knoll is the frosty knoll.
The streets are ribbons of thick ice. Road salt? You're more likely to find a leather-skinned cowboy asking about vegan options at a restaurant. Semis that couldn't make it up highway off-ramps sit abandoned.
These people have no idea how to handle our kind of winter weather.
But at least their football stadium has a retractable roof.
The same can't be said of Soldier Field, which is open to the elements and capable of collecting snow and frostbitten souls in bulk. But that hasn't stopped Chicago mayoral candidate Gery Chico from pushing the city as a future Super Bowl site.
If you Chicagoans look out your windows, you might notice what appears to be winter in the grip of a mutant growth spurt. I'm told a blizzard blew through there. I'd be gloating about that if there weren't an inch of ice on the ground here and the wind chill weren't at 0. (Dallas is supposed to be warm, right? Yes, and the S.S. Minnow was supposed to be on a three-hour tour.)
Imagine if Chicago were awarded the 2016 Super Bowl and two feet of snow showed up the day of the game. Disastrous? That's probably a bit strong. Ridiculous? Absolutely. Thirty-two teams each play a 16-game schedule and eventually whittle themselves down to two finalists through natural selection. And then they have to play in snow and cold to decide a champion?
No, the whole idea of the Super Bowl is for the two best teams to play in the best conditions possible. And the best conditions generally can be found in Miami or San Diego or inside a dome in Indianapolis. Not Chicago, which today appears to be, climatically, the Yukon.
New York, yes; us, no
There's a reason the NFL plays most of its Super Bowls in warm cities or cold cities with roofed stadiums. If I had to sum it up in one word, it would be "warmth.'' The Packers and Steelers will battle Sunday inside Cowboys Stadium with a cover over their heads. As it should be.
When the league awarded New Jersey the 2014 Super Bowl, it gave hope to every city that dresses in parkas and snow hats. If New York can host the big game with an open-air stadium, why can't Chicago? There are a few reasons, but the most important is that the NFL's offices are located in Manhattan, so the league tends to share New Yorkers' view that New York is the center of the universe and that everything else is cosmic dust.
Where the NFL looks at Chicago and sees the potential for a party-pooping snowstorm on the day of the Super Bowl, it looks at the New Meadowlands and says, ''Even if it snows, the snow is bigger and better near New York City!'' In other words, this appears to be a one-time deal for cold-weather cities with uncapped stadiums.
Chico can't be blamed for thinking big. He's pushing for the economic benefits a Super Bowl purportedly brings to a city. Tourists would flock to the city. Money would flock with them.
But there's a reason birds flock to the South in the winter: It's cold in the North. It appears that same cold has caused a bad case of brain freeze for Chico.
There are better options
''We should pursue every possible avenue to bring America's greatest sports competition to America's greatest sports city,'' he said in a statement Saturday. ''If New York can do it, Chicago can do it.''
With all due respect, Mr. Chico, every avenue is clogged with snow right now.
The argument you'll hear from the what's-a-little-cold-and-accumulation crowd is that whatever the weather conditions might be on game day, both teams have to deal with them. It's a level playing field, even if the field is white, they say.
But if there's no compelling reason to play on that white, level playing field, why play on it? There are better options.
''I can't imagine playing in that,'' Packers cornerback Tramon Williams said at media day Tuesday. ''When it comes down to the Super Bowl, I'm pretty sure everyone loves warm weather. I think it should be something that everyone's comfortable in.''
Cowboys Stadium is as big as you'd expect a stadium to be in a state that considers football to be . . . well, if not God, then a close relative. As many as 105,000 fans are expected to jam inside the building for the game Sunday. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones had a retractable roof put on the stadium for the same reason he installed a monster video screen over the field: This is Texas.
The Bears didn't have a roof put on Soldier Field, and that's fine. The franchise is meant to play football in the elements. The Super Bowl isn't meant to be played in frigid conditions. The Super Bowl is different, special, warm.
Did I mention warm?

Les Adieux à la reine by Benoît Jacquot, the adaptation of a costume novel, will be opening the 62nd Berlinale on February 9th. The film, in competition, is about the early days of the French Revolution seen through the eyes of the servants at Versailles. Many of the movies in competition are about departures or radical changes, presenting stories or history from a different perspective says the Festivals director Dieter Kosslick. Italy will be competing for the Golden Bear with the Taviani Brothers Cesare deve morire (Caesar must die). It will be competing against Jayne Mansfields Car by Billy Bob Thornton, Brillante Mendozas Captive and Tsui Harks Flying Swords Of Dragon Gate. Out of competition is Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close by Stephen Daldry, which has received two Oscar nominations (best picture and best supporting actor for Max von Sydow), Jin líng Shí San Chai (The Flowers Of War) by Zhang Yimou and Shadow Dancer, the latest work by James Marsh, the director of the astonishing Man on Wire. Completing the program will be a special screening of Steven Soderberghs Haywire, starring Ewan McGregor, Michael Fassbender and Antonio Banderas.
Particularly interesting will be the Berlinale Special where Italy will be making a brief appearance with Alba Rohrwacher, the star of Glück (Bliss) by Doris Dörrie. This section will also feature Angelina Jolies directing debut, In The Land Of Blood And Honey, Werner Herzogs TV documentary series about the death penalty, Death Row, Alex de La Iglesias La Chispa de la Vida, Oscar winner Kevin Macdonald who, after last years Life in a Day returns to the Berlinale with Marley, and the documentary produced by Javier Bardem, Hijos de las nubes. La última colonia by Alvaro Longoria, which is part of this Berlinales special focus on the Arab Spring.
Apart from being present in the various Festival sections, Arabic cinema will also feature strongly inside the market and, together with the Middle Eastern question, will be one of the main themes of the Panorama- Dokument section. This section opens with Revolutionary by Sean McAllister about a Yemeni tourist guide and his involvement in his countrys political spring. The other two themes of Panorama-Dockument are Queer Memory, and the G8 and Anti-Globalization: here Italy is the protagonist with Diaz by Daniele Vicari, starring Elio Germano, Alessandro Roja and Claudio Santamaria, and The Summit by Franco Fracassi and Massimo Lauria, which explores the backdrop of lies surrounding the death of Carlo Giuliani and the State brutality that took place in the demonstrations preceding the ones in Genoa (from Brokdorf to Naples, Gothenburg and Seattle). Generational conflicts and the ambivalence of progress are the main themes of the Forum, whilst as usual Forum Expanded (37 works by artists, directors, musicians and theorists from 20 different countries) will try to define the role of contemporary cinema, looking at the relevance of the radical ideas of the past in the present day. Here Italy will be represented by Pier Paolo Pasolinis unfinished novel, Petrolio, which has been chosen by Rosalind Nashashibi as the starting point for Carlos Vision (a co-production between Italy and the United Kingdom).
Say Goodbye to the Story is the leitmotiv of the shorts section, inspired by the title of the work (in competition) by Christoph Schlingensief. We should also mention Logoro by Peruvian director Claudia Llosa, who won the Berlinale 2009 with La Teta Asustada and The End, by Charlotte Rampling. An Italian short movie (Pokot Ash Yogurt by Francesco Amato and Stefano Scarafia) will be presented as part of the Culinary Cinema section whose motto for this year is Trust in Taste.
The retrospective, The Red Dream Factory. Mezhrabpom-Film and Prometheus 1921 1936, is dedicated to the rediscovery of the legendary Russian-German film studio, an international experimental joint venture that made movie history at the time with 600 productions. From this year, the Retrospective, directed by Rainer Rother (who is also the artistic director of Deutsche Kinemathek that organizes this section), will be launching a new partnership with MoMA in New York, marking the tradition of collaboration and dialogue between the two institutions (just last summer, MoMa hosted an exhibition curated by Dieter Kosslich, Carte Blanche: Dieter Kosslick, the Culinary Cineaste). Meryl Streep will be honored at the Biennale (where she will receive a Golden Bear), whilst the International Jury, headed by Mike Leigh, will feature Anton Corbijn, Asghar Farhadi, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Jake Gyllenhaal, François Ozon, Boualem Sansal and .

MCA Nashville Recording Artist Gary Allan to Perform at Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino on Sunday, October 6
Tickets on Sale Saturday, August 17 at 10 a.m.
Tweet it: MCA Nashville Recording Artist @GaryAllan at @Hard_Rock_Live @SHRHollywood on 10/6. Tix on sale 8/17 at 10am http://goo.gl/CGfv1Z
Hollywood, Fla. – MCA Nashville Recording Artist Gary Allan will perform at Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino on Sunday, October 6, 2013 at 7 p.m. Tickets go on sale Saturday, August 17 at 10 a.m.
Southern California's Gary Allan began his career playing clubs during high school. After graduation, he developed a following in the area regularly attracting an audience that featured a rare mix. Allan was particularly inspired by a concert by the Highwaymen – Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash and Kris Kristofferson – to pursue music that mined the dangerous side of life.
His nine studio albums have mixed his honky-tonk bravado and grainy isolation while mining the emotional turf that fuels a life well-lived: the joys of parenting, the heartache of personal loss, the testosterone of disagreement and the unpredictability of love. He has registered five #1 singles – "Man To Man," "Tough Little Boys," "Nothing On But The Radio," "Watching Airplanes" and "Every Storm (Runs Out of Rain)." – in addition to such trademark hits such as the lonely "Best I Ever Had" and the swaggering "Right Where I Need To Be." Allan's amassed seven gold albums in the process – three of them certified platinum, as well – and maintained the admiration of critics for his unwavering uniqueness.
Set You Free, his newest release, is the first album recorded since the removal of a polyp on his vocal cords that had doggedly restricted his range, his strength and his expression. It is a perfectly named, well-conceived album that embodies his evolution toward personal, creative freedom. The album's lyrical journey from darkness to light reflects much of what went on behind it – the progression of Allan's own life as an adult, the restoration of his voice, the renewed energy from working with new songwriting partners and the challenge of producing his own tracks and playing his own lead guitar. All of those changes have given him a new sense of freedom.
In Set You Free, Allan found even greater artistic clarity, building a cohesive narrative from a collection of songs directed by three different producers. Longtime friend Mark Wright (Gretchen Wilson, Lee Ann Womack) tracked three songs, while the versatile and mysterious Jay Joyce (Eric Church, Cage The Elephant, The Wallflowers) turned in five and Allan co-produced the final four with engineer Greg Droman (Brooks & Dunn, True Blood theme).
Tickets cost $69, $59 and $49*; all seats are reserved and available at all Ticketmaster outlets online at www.myhrl.com, www.ticketmaster.com or charge by phone: 1-800-745-3000. Doors open one-hour prior to show start time. *Additional fees may apply.

Written by D.F. Karppi Friday, 20 August 2010 00:00
Gary DePasquale called to identify the Aug. 12 mystery picture in the Enterprise Pilot. He said, "It's the ceiling of the new library at the Oyster Bay High School."
Tony Pilla of Anniston, Alabama emailed the answer saying, "The picture looks like the ceiling in the gym at Oyster Bay High School"
Of course they are both correct. The ceiling of the old gym at Oyster Bay High School is now the ceiling of the library!
"This is a house on Hamilton Avenue," said Bob McEvoy, senior. "The background gave it away. The tall building behind the house is the Lyrick Theater. That's what became Town Hall East."
Mr. McEvoy remembered the house about a year ago when the porch didn't exist. He said then it looked like a boarding house.
He said another thing that gave the photo away was the car, "Which is older than you or I. I've been here for 81 years."
He added that a friend of his died and had a lot of old pictures and wanted to give them away, but didn't find a taker. "Things have changed since I was a boy in Oyster Bay." [A good thing to know is that the Oyster Bay Historical Society welcomes old photographs to add to their collection. You never know when a photo reveals an important part of history. If you remember, the Oyster Bay Railroad Museum is looking for photographs of the interior of the station to know what the fireplace looked like originally. You can reach them at 922-5032.]
Theodore J. Amotobozo called to identify the Aug. 5 photograph as, "A rooming house on Hamilton Avenue. It's an older picture. If you look closer you can see the top of the old movie theater in the background."
Mike Rich too, identified the Aug. 5 mystery picture. He said, "I know it's an old photo but if one were to go down Hamilton Avenue to number 37 on the left hand side they can see that it is completely restored to what is was in the picture – the porch railings have been replaced. It is a multi family house. In the background you can see the elevated tower from town hall in the background.
"And, for six months of my life I lived at number 14 Hamilton Avenue, which was Mr. Otto's house across the street. It was a three story apartment house. It was the first house on the right as you go down the block. So, the picture brings back old memories - I don't recall anything from six months old, but from later on as I grew up in the area.
"The house at 37 Hamilton Avenue is completely restored and people should drive down and see it because they did a great job on it. Everyone should see it," said Mr. Rich.
We agree, Walter Imperatore and Island Properties deserve a great deal of credit for the beautiful restoration of "a great Victorian lady" as the houses are sometimes called. A few more and we can go for the title of the Cape May of Long Island!
Steve Minicozzi called too, to add to the story. He said, "That is 37 Hamilton Avenue. I know because I used to own it and sold it to Island Properties and they recently have done a beautiful job renovating. They did a wonderful job and spruced it up wonderfully," he added.
At one time Hamilton Avenue was the place to live in Oyster Bay. With the help of Island Properties and the other homeowners on that block, it is returning to its former glory.
We received an email from The Feldman Family. They wrote: "Our family immediately recognized the mystery picture from the Aug. 5 edition of the paper, but thought many people would respond! We walk by this house several times a week on our way to the park with our children. It is a house on Hamilton Avenue that has recently been renovated. Prior to the renovation the house was in such poor condition, but now is such a beautiful addition to Oyster Bay."
John Walsh too added his name to the list of responders who know the Hamilton Avenue building. "It is 37 Hamilton Avenue and it was just re-done by Island Properties. It came out great!
"The Aug. 12 photo is the old Oyster Bay High School gym. I'm pretty good at this," he added cheerfully.
It was a nice note on which to end the column for which we are happy and actually grateful. We just love long answers that give more of the history of Oyster Bay. Keep calling and we will keep typing.

This sink is stunning to look at. I really love the size of this sink. It makes cleaning large saute pans & soaking big pans very easy. HOWEVER, I have to give it 2 stars because the sink is irregular in size. It was noted as 17 inches interior - one the left side this is true. On the right side it measures 16.5 interior. Of course I did not discover this until after my counters had been cut for the sink using the provided template. And since the sink is now epoxied onto the counter, it would be a giant pain to return this item. If you decide to purchase this sink, make sure you measure it for accuracy before having your fabricator cut holes in your counters. Also, my fabricator said that Kraus templates are usually designed for a positive reveal - just an FYI to discuss your preference for reveal with your fabricator & then tell them to use the actual sink - not the template!
This sink was delivered so quickly and had been sitting in my garage waiting for my remodel. It is big, but I had measured my old drop in sink and other than it's depth, it was pretty much the same length and width, except this sink is way more efficient. Because of it's depth I ordered a compact garbage disposal and was able to fit the sink, disposal and a 4" roll out tray under the cabinet. I use a product like BonAmi/Bartender's Friend to clean it with a Non-Scratch Pad (exactly what I use on my cookware) and it works well. I ordered an optional sink colander and that came in handy. When I'm not using it to rinse produce etc., I use it to drain my dishes.
This sink is high quality! Haven't installed yet, but very pleased with appearance. Everything I order from Overstock arrives quickly with no problems. So happy with all my purchases!!
After searching EVERYWHERE, I decided that this was the best value for the quality of sink I was looking for. I was replacing a white double-bowl porcelain sink that I adored. It did take a few weeks to get used to, but now that the whole family has used it for about 2 months now, I can safely say, we love it. I am constantly cleaning the water spots out of it, but that's just me...I did the same with the white porcelain. (Yes, I'm Type A). I like the fact that the corners are NOT zero radius. I have a small prep sink that is, and I like this one with the slightly rounded square corners much better. It does make clean-up much easier. The grid is a must, so glad it came with one. The only problem is now I don�t have that center piece between the bowls for my dish rag to hang!
Nice looking sink, and great price for a commercial style, but seems to be soft metal. . We buy a lot of sinks through my business, and this is nicer and heavier than many knock-offs in the same price range, but it seems to get scratched VERY easy. I don't know if stainless steel can be hard/soft, but it sure seems less durable than most.
My contractor had to make some modifications to my 33" sink base to make sure this fit but in the end it looks amazing.
Kraus Sink arrived packaged as if it had come from Tiffany's. Fabulous product. Beautifully designed and forged. Very spacious and resilient. Absolutely love this product. And the price was equally laudable. Would definitely recommend a first look at Overstock for anything before going anywhere else. You guys set the standard on this one!
The quality of this sink is beyond what we expected. The SS gauge is excellent and the off-set drain allows for more useful under sink cabinet space. The price was a great value.
We recently renovated our entire kitchen. After searching diligently for a sink, we decided on the Kraus 32-inch undermount single bowl after reading so many positive reviews on this sink. I will have to tell you that all the reviews are right! The sink is amazing. Even the granite installer said it was a fabulous sink and thought we paid at least $$$$ for it. It is beautiful and will make quite a statement to any kitchen. I was not sure it I wanted a single bowl as I was used to a double but I am glad I made the change. It is so huge. I just love it.
Wow! Is all I can say. We shopped around and Overstock had the best price by far. Sink quality and construction is excellent. We looked at similar but more expensive Franke sinks. We definitely made the right decision for a fraction of the price without a single sacrifice.

Korean firm's instant messaging service to do battle with BBM.
Samsung announced IM service ChatOn back in August, an app which comes as standard on its Android and bada smartphones, while it can also be downloaded for iOS.
ChatOn was based on RIM's BlackBerry Messenger, and now Samsung has turned up the heat on the ailing firm with a ChatOn for BlackBerry launch.
It's widely known that BBM is a key driver of RIM's sales, but with Samsung able to offer a universal app that provides enhanced functions, it could see the firm steal some of BlackBerry's market share.
Meanwhile, WhatsApp continues to lead for cross platform IM services with over ten million downloads for Android alone.

The recent trilogy, 50 Shades of Grey by E. L. James, has taken the book world by storm with all three volumes making the NY Times best sellers list. People around the world, especially women, have been reading these books by the millions. Why? Because they are hot! We're talking smokin' hot. Back in my day they never would have been published much less talked about in polite company. If sold, they would be done so in back rooms and sold brown paper bags.
That being said, let me begin by saying I do not intend to review these books in terms of literary worthiness. Nor do I intend to discuss the plot in any detail. Furthermore, as tempting as it may be, I am not going to engage in a psychological analysis of the main character, Christian Grey, an exceeding handsome, multimillionaire, owner of an international company, who seduces Anastasia Steele, a gorgeous, soon-to-graduate, college student and introduces her to his high-end life style and his world of dominance and submission. My intent is to discuss some important psychological and sexological issues raised by the books.
People are influenced by what they read. They will compare themselves to the characters. They will want to experiment. In 50 Shades the reader is introduced to a world of sexual exploration. And this is why I am writing this post. While the story is fiction, the specific sexual activities are not. The characters are fictitious. Just as the books sprang from the imagination of their author, they have captured the imagination of the people who read them.
What I intend to do is to discuss various aspects of the sexual explorations described in the books and to offer a psychological perspective with some guidelines through the eyes of a sex therapist.
- As a sex therapist and psychologist, I am delighted that the books were published and that they are being read by so many people. It is about time that sex has become mainstream. Perhaps these books will usher in a new generation of books with explicit sexual content. Perhaps they will pave the way for people to be able to discuss sexual topics just they discuss any other book or topic. As I have discussed in previous posts, if sex is so beautiful, why do we keep it so hidden?
- Most people have sexual fantasies. Some fantasies are more elaborate than others. These are healthy and exciting. Unfortunately, people tend to judge themselves regarding their fantasies. 50 Shades gives people permission to have sexual fantasies. E. L. James has shared her sexual fantasies with the world. Perhaps she can inspire the readers to share their sexual fantasies with their partners. Sharing fantasies is an intimate activity. It creates a bond in a similar way that sharing intimate secrets creates a bond.
- For many people 50 Shades is their first exposure to various ways in which human beings can have and enjoy sex. It is their first exposure to the world of dominance and submission (BDSM=bondage, discipline, sadism, masochism). Most people are accustomed only to what is referred to in the book as "vanilla" sex, the customary manner in which people engage in sexual intercourse. Whether you wish to experiment or not is entirely up to you and between you and your partner. You are not strange or weird if wish to experiment nor are you rigid or uptight if you do not wish to experiment. How far you go in either direction is entirely up to you. Sex is supposed to be fun, a time to play, and a time to connect.
- Just as there is nothing inherently bad or wrong with pornography, there is nothing inherently wrong, sick, or weird about sexual play between consenting adults. It is important to understand the emphasis is on the word play. It is fun. Role-playing, acting scenes from one's fantasy life, even when those fantasies and scenes include bondage, spanking or paddling, and other similar activities, can be fun, erotic, and stimulating. It is when such behaviors are abusive, harmful, or done under duress, that they become problematic. In the books, the author makes it abundantly clear that these activities must be done with the expressed consent of both parties, with extreme precautions for the safety of both parties, and include certain "safe words or signals" which, when uttered or gestured, bring all activity to an immediate halt. There is a huge difference between BDSM done for the pleasure and fun of both parties, and similar behaviors that are for the pleasure of one person at the expense of another.
- Christian Grey is presented as an extraordinarily virile young man who is able to have multiple orgasms within minutes of one another. He is portrayed as possessing amazing stamina and is ready to go at a moment's notice. This is fantasy. It is similar to what is seen in porn films where the main character appears to be able to maintain sexual activity for prolonged periods of continuous thrusting. When men see these films they often believe that they ought to be able to behave like a "porn star." The result is that they end up feeling inadequate. Christian Grey is a fictitious character and any resemblance to real persons is purely coincidental. Most men need a longer period of time between orgasms; the younger one is, the shorter the refractory period.
- Anastasia Steele is presented as a woman who is able to achieve multiple," world-shattering" orgasms within minutes of one another. My concern here is that many women will expect themselves and their partners to perform similarly to Christian and Anastasia. This couple is fiction, a product of the author's imagination. Some women are able to have multiple orgasms, some are not. Both are normal. Some women experience orgasms that are explosive while others experience orgasm that are less intense but may last longer, while still others have less intense and rather short spasms. Each body is different. Some women can achieve orgasm through sexual intercourse, while others need more direct clitoral stimulation either orally or manually. Both are normal.
I hope that one of the main benefits of this trilogy will be to encourage people to talk more openly about sexuality and to experiment and explore the dimensions of their sexuality. Perhaps this work, and others to follow, will bring sexuality out of the closet to become part of ordinary discourse rather than merely whispered in secret. I recall the days when TV shows did not so much as intimate that people used the bathroom for anything more than shaving or washing one's face. We progressed to having more explicit sexual scenes being depicted both in TV and film. The same is occurring in books and magazines. Perhaps the sexual revolution that began in the '60s and '70s continues to evolve.

Amidst all the running hither and thither, the posing for paps, the FROW-spotting, the trend predicting and the champagne-sipping of Fashion Week, it's always a treat to take time out for a few hours and check out the exhibition.
This year Somerset House had moved things about to make the exhibition more accessible, so there was plenty of space for designers to lay out their wares whether that meant gorgeous handbags, cutting edge clothing or high design shoes. We had our eyes peeled for The Next BigThing (AKA: what we want be wearing come spring) and we weren't disappointed.
First up was Mungo Gurney, a Central Saint Martins graduate who has our whole summer 2012 wrapped up with his collection of easy breezy silken separates in Matisse-inspired colours, and day-glo bright printed maxi dresses, as well as a collection of sizzling hot swimwear that we can picture on the honeyed limbs of all the cool girls from the rooftop pool of Shoreditch House to the beach clubs of Ibiza next summer. Think high cut one-pieces with incredibly intricate laser cut details on the torso, and asymmetric cut out swimsuits with macramé straps. Is it too early to start the beach diet now?
Now we all know that statement knits are big news this Autumn, so it's a pity that Susanna Bettencourt's graphic cardigans and body-con knit dresses won't be on the rails until next year. We loved the electric blu body-con dress with gold detailing and a very sexy teardrop back, and we'd like the wrinkled 90s-hip hop print twinset to wear with out leather pencil skirts like now, please.
Finally, when we saw that Paperself were treating people to applications of their fabulously intricate paper eyelashes, we couldn't resist. Just how cute are these peacock lashes? The clever Paperself girls have eyelashes in every shape under the sun, from deer antlers topped with butterflies to horses and peonies. Currently on sale in Browns, Harvey Nichols and Urban Outfitters, you can also buy them online, so we're predicting eccentric eyes all round come Halloween!

What makes minorities more at risk for this disease? Researchers are trying to find the link, but nothing definite has been determined. While it's important to figure out why minorities are prone to diabetes, the fact is diabetes is on the rise among African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, Asians and Pacific Islanders.
If you are a minority, you are more likely to develop diabetes than whites. The following statistics represent the incidence of diabetes among minorities in the United States for 2002:
As the minority population of United States grows, so do the reports of diabetes and chronic kidney disease. New immigrants also adopt a more Western diet when they settle into the United States, which seems to increase their chances for obesity and Type 2 diabetes. Diabetes is a disease that affects the body's ability to produce or use insulin. Type 2 diabetes is also known as adult-onset diabetes or non-insulin dependent diabetes.
The Western diet is high in processed and fast foods. Many processed foods have little nutritional value and often contain high amounts of fat and sodium. A study of obesity in China has linked the increased weight in children to the increased availability of fast food as well as a diet emphasizing more Western foods than traditional Eastern foods.
Obesity is a cause of insulin resistance, which can lead to Type 2 diabetes. Obesity is also linked to some ethnic groups. A University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill study concluded that for unknown reasons, African American women become obese twice as fast as white women. The rate for Hispanic women is about midway between the two. Hispanic men become obese 2.5 times faster than white men, and after the age of 28, African American men became obese 2.2 times more rapidly than white men.
If minorities are more prone to being overweight, this makes them more at risk for Type 2 diabetes. Because diabetes is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease, minorities also have a greater risk of developing kidney disease.
Although science has yet to determine the exact cause of diabetes, research has shown that poor dietary habits and a sedentary lifestyle increase the risk of developing diabetes. Knowing you are at risk because of your ethnicity, family history or weight can lead to taking preventative steps or an early diagnosis and treatment.

I'm a total newbie so bear with me and hold back any flames if you don't mind.
After doing deadlifts at light weight (50lbs, I'm just progressively starting out and trying to get decent form, my form is pretty good now I believe), I now feel a pain in my upper back after finishing my workout. This is not a prolonged thing, it has just happened, but I don't want to strain myself repeatedly after workouts until something snaps or hurt myself because of not asking questions. Specifically, it is on both sides, a kind of almost painful soreness - not sharp pain at all, kind of like how you feel after someone punches you - and I am wondering if I need to be concerned about this. My neck feels fine and so does my spine, no pain at all, it's just the area of the ribcage around the spine. Maybe I'm cheating in a form and don't realize it, I dunno.
I did shoulder work today also, but I don't recall feeling this way on shoulder/back days before deadlifts were included.
