That merlot colored carbon fiber is an amazing touch. You mention the Zonda F and that red carbon is very similar to some of the styling that Pagani has used on their final edition Zondas. I hope to see more of this style in the future.
Linbergh!!! You'll bring back some great character to Speedhunters, and I hope you continue to take some more rolling shots!
Larry those are some compelling black and white images! I'm not sure if it was the b&w, composition, or angles, but this is the first time I've ever seen photos from Long Beach that actually makes the course look like they're running on city streets. Sure on all pictures before you can see some faint building backdrop and stoplights, but these really make you feel like there are wild beasts running amok in LA.
My first true stint with a camera was with a highschool photography class with my dad's old Ricoh camera shooting in b&w and printing the films in a dark room. It truly is a more rewarding experience when you're forced to make the most out of limited frames.
@Kirk_B The Viper is closer in capability, but those BMW Z4s are crazy quick in the corners. Based on me watching the races it would be anything but a Ferrari since those guys seem to just knock cars off the course (especially when the Z4 was coming back on the last laps at Daytona).
What car do you like going toe to toe with the most on track?
Bryn, I think you've hit it where the important details are how the builder decided what to keep and what to change. What I like most about these kinds of builds is getting a sense of how these cars were dreamed up. There's no picking up everything from an online catalog. You can get a true sense of what they wanted to achieve and how they got there with what was available.
Cool to see some rolling shots of this car; I remember walking down the aisle at Nos2Days and seeing the S2k instruments before I saw the motor. What a clean build; it's too bad cars can't come from the factory like this. Although I guess it just gives us more inspiration to have fun in our garages!
I really liked the RX-3 but that TeaVally Z was absolutely impeccable; my favorite detail was the carbon fiber around the window trim. Dino, it was good meeting you on Saturday.
@linhbergh Great coverage of my home track! One of the best parts about the Rolex 24 is how accessible the entire track is; since Daytona is designed for the much higher capacity 500 so when the guys come to battle it out for 24 hours everything is easy for spectators to get around. I always recommend people to go to that race for their first.
Mike, that meet looks amazing! These pictures are awesome opossum! I've just made a ton of additions to my wallpaper collection.
It's getting me more excited for Nostalgic 2days when I have Feb 22 off in Japan on a work trip!
This sounds like his anthem.
Keith, if you manage to snag a photoshot of the car make sure to take a picture of the same spot from different angles. I would love to see how the paint color changes on this one based on viewing angles.
I'm really loving the use of copper at SEMA this year!
I really like the use of other metals in some of these builds. The black on copper is phenomenal!
I would pick the entire Bryn/Dino Pagani collection as a whole. I made a whole folder for those images to cycle through as my desktop background. @speedhunters_dino Dino you captured the cars in their environment perfectly and Bryn got all the special details. EPIC
Jun awesome car; it really makes me want to get back into my garage to work on my miata. Keep up the good work over at hotwheels! Not only do you make my desk a lot more fun (I will admit I drive around my Hakosuka every once and a while), but you also make trips to Target/Walmart far more enjoyable when I get a chance for some speedhunting.
This article is absolutely awesome, and the photography is just on point. I am so glad the new format lets me download any image as a desktop wallpaper; this seriously made my day after always looking at my Spark Zonda R model sitting on my desk.
Great work Bryn keep it up!
Lets see how close I can get to the new Mazda 6 Diesel Grand AM car on Saturday. Thanks for the encouragement to bring my camera with me to Classic Mazda!
Great work Larry. You've really put your talent for photography on display here from capturing the emotions of the competitor to the drama of the vehicles at highspeed in all sorts of conditions. It's photos like this that make me keep my Speedhunters in review book on my coffee table at home and my speedhunters lanyard on all day to hold my ID for work.
Can't wait photos your bring next year and you're a great inspiration for me to go to the 24hrs of Daytona and the 12 of Sebring to take my own.

The world champion New Zealand side slotted in four tries to Australia's three, but Smith's score and Johnathan Thurston's conversion secured a point for the Kangaroos.
The match was a physical one, featuring a first-half brawl involving most players.
Kiwi favourites
New Zealand had looked set to repeat last year's World Cup final upset when Lance Hohaia and Frank Pritchard crossed to establish a 20-14 lead in the 74th. Frank-Paul Nuuausala and Junior Sa'u had earlier scored for the Kiwis.
Nuuausala crashed over in the seventh minute after breaking the line 15 metres out and beating fullback Billy Slater for a converted try as New Zealand led 6-0.
Australia backrower Paul Gallen and Kiwi hooker Isaac Luke exchanged punches that sparked a brawl across the teams, with Kiwi forward Adam Blair sprinting 20 metres before torpedoing himself into a group of Kangaroos.
Australia drew level after Smith offloaded in a tackle to Greg Inglis, who ran 40 metres before finding Morris on his outside to touch down out wide.
Thurston converted the try from the sideline for a half-time score of 6-6, and he put Australia in front three minutes after the break by craftily stealing the ball from Hohaia only 10 metres out from the Kiwis' line to cross for an easy try.
Sa'u hit back in the 56th with a powerful run over the top of several defenders to draw New Zealand within reach, and subsequent tries by Hohaia and Pritchard looked to have sealed the match until Smith went over after good lead-up work by Inglis.
"At one stage it was a point lost, but in the end it was a point gained", said Australia coach Tim Sheens talking to the BBC.
"We had the game and enough ball, but they just wouldn't lie down and they defended their goal-line really well to frustrate us.
In the other game of the evening, Lebanon smashed Italy 86-0.

Hello, Balkers! Do you have the power of the babe? I hope you do, because tonight's Midnight Movie is Labyrinth! (DANCE MAGIC, DANCE!!) Goblins! Weird, creepy headless bird things! David Bowie and his crotch! For the unlikely few who haven't seen this cult classic, the story wends its way quickly from an ordinary family home to the depths of a peculiar labyrinthine kingdom ruled by Jareth, the Goblin King (David Bowie), who has absconded with the wee baby brother of resentful older sister Sarah (Jennifer Connelly). 15-year-old Sarah must outwit the labyrinth and contend with the seductive Goblin King, and herself, before 13 hours have passed and her sibling is lost to to this world forever. This wonderful "1986 British-American musical fantasy adventure film [was] directed by Jim Henson, executive produced by George Lucas, and [was] based upon conceptual designs by Brian Froud," who also designed Henson's previous film The Dark Crystal. Famous Monty Python alum, screenwriter, author, and TV host* Terry Jones wrote the screen play. (Watch Jones' funny and excellent documentary series Medieval Lives on YouTube.)
Amazing, this mega-classic, beloved by so many today, bombed at the box-office and received mediocre to terrible reviews. (Roger Ebert, for example, disliked it and gave the film two out of four stars, while his partner Gene Siskel just plain eviscerated it.) Wikipedia writes:
The New York Times reported that Labyrinth had a budget of $25 million. Labyrinth was a box office disappointment and only grossed $12,729,917 during its U.S theatrical run. The commercial failure of the film demoralized Henson to the extent that his son Brian Henson remembered the time of the film's release as one of the most difficult periods of his father's career. It would be the last feature film directed by Henson before his death in 1990.
But that:
Despite its poor performance at the American box office, Labyrinth was a success on home video and later on DVD. David Bowie told an interviewer in 1992 that "every Christmas a new flock of children comes up to me and says, 'Oh! you're the one who's in Labyrinth!'" In 1997, Jennifer Connelly said "I still get recognized for Labyrinth by little girls in the weirdest places. I can't believe they still recognize me from that movie. It's on TV all the time and I guess I pretty much look the same."
Labyrinth has become a cult film. Brian Henson remembered his father Jim Henson as being aware that Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal both had cult followings by the time of his death in 1990, saying that "he was able to see all that and know that it was appreciated." Academic Andrea Wright wrote that Labyrinth has managed to maintain audience popularity long after its initial release to a greater extent than The Dark Crystal. Since 1997, an annual two-day masquerade ball called the "The Labyrinth of Jareth" where revelers come dressed in costumes inspired by the film has been held in Hollywood, CA. Labyrinth has a significant Internet fandom, and as of July 28, 2014, Fanfiction.Net hosts over 8600 stories in its Labyrinth section.
It's certainly a testament to the truth that popularity does not necessarily equal worth.
Share your thoughts, memories, and favorite Labyrinth quotes, pics, memes, and GIFs in the comments!
Have a gorgeous evening and enjoy the show!
More from Wikipedia:
Labyrinth features allusions to a range of literary and filmic sources, many of which were recognized by contemporary reviewers. Richard Corliss noted that the film appeared to have been influenced by The Wizard of Oz and the works of Maurice Sendak, writing that "Labyrinth lures a modern Dorothy Gale out of the drab Kansas of real life into a land where the wild things are." Nina Darnton wrote that the plot of Labyrinth "is very similar to Outside Over There by Mr. Sendak, in which 9-year-old Ida's baby sister is stolen by the goblins." Copies of Outside Over There and Where the Wild Things Are are shown briefly in Sarah's room at the start of the film. The film also features an end credit stating that "Jim Henson acknowledges his debt to the works of Maurice Sendak".
The film's concept designer Brian Froud has stated that the character of Jareth was influenced by a diverse range of literary sources. In his afterword to The Goblins of Labyrinth, Froud wrote that Jareth references "the romantic figures of Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights and a brooding Rochester from Jane Eyre" and the Scarlet Pimpernel. Bowie's costumes were intentionally eclectic, drawing on the image of Marlon Brando's leather jacket from The Wild One as well as that of a knight "with the worms of death eating through his armour" from the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm.
The dialogue starting with "you remind me of the babe" that occurs between Jareth and the goblins in the Magic Dance sequence in the film is a direct reference to an exchange between Cary Grant and Shirley Temple in the 1947 film The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer.
The protagonist of the film was, at different stages of its development, going to be a King whose baby had been put under an enchantment, a princess from a fantasy world and a young girl from Victorian England. In order to make the film more commercial, it was ultimately decided that the film's lead would be a teenage girl from contemporary America. Henson noted that he wished to "make the idea of taking responsibility for one's life - which is one of the neat realizations a teenager experiences - a central thought of the film."[7]
Auditions for the lead role of Sarah began in England in April 1984. Helena Bonham Carter auditioned for the part, but it was ultimately decided it would be better to cast an American actress. Monthly auditions were held in the U.S until January 1985, and Jane Krakowski, Yasmine Bleeth, Sarah Jessica Parker, Marisa Tomei, Laura Dern, Ally Sheedy, Maddie Corman and Mia Sara all auditioned for the role. Of these, Krakowski, Sheedy and Corman were considered to be the top candidates. Fifteen year old actress Jennifer Connelly was ultimately chosen to play Sarah after her audition on January 29, 1985, "won Jim [Henson] over" and led him to cast her within a week. According to Henson, Connelly was chosen as she "could act that kind of dawn-twilight time between childhood and womanhood." Connelly moved to England in February 1985 in advance of the film's rehearsals, which began in March. Discussing her understanding of her role with Elle, Connelly said that the film is about "a young girl growing out of her childhood, who is just now becoming aware of the responsibilities that come with growing up."
The character of Jareth also underwent some significant developments during the early stages of pre-production. According to Henson he was originally meant to be another puppet creature in the same vein as his goblin subjects. Henson eventually decided he wanted a big, charismatic star to the play the Goblin King, and decided to pursue a musician for the role. Sting and Michael Jackson were both considered for the part, however it was ultimately decided that David Bowie would be the most suitable choice.
"I wanted to put two characters of flesh and bone in the middle of all these artificial creatures," Henson explained, "and David Bowie embodies a certain maturity, with his sexuality, his disturbing aspect, all sorts of things that characterize the adult world." Henson met David Bowie in the summer of 1983 to seek his involvement, as Bowie was in the U.S for his Serious Moonlight Tour at the time. Henson continued to pursue Bowie for the role of Jareth, and sent him each revised draft of the film's script for his comments. During a meeting that took place on June 18, 1984, Henson showed Bowie The Dark Crystal and a selection of Brian Froud's concept drawings to pique his interest in the project. Bowie formally agreed to take part on February 15, 1985, several months before filming began. Discussing why he chose to be involved in the film, Bowie explained that "I'd always wanted to be involved in the music-writing aspect of a movie that would appeal to children of all ages, as well as everyone else, and I must say that Jim gave me a completely free hand with it. The script itself was terribly amusing without being vicious or spiteful or bloody, and it had a lot more heart in it than many other special effects movies. So I was pretty hooked from the beginning."

Hans Curt was the sone of Johann Jors Heyne and Martha Elisabeth Topfer. Johan Jors was the son of Philipp Heine. A distant, very kind cousin looked in some church records in Lendorf for me, so I have no dates or other information. Can anyone add to this or clarify details for me? Will be glad to share anything additional that I have.

Preemptive scheduling of periodically arriving tasks on a multiprocessor is considered. We show that many common multiprocessor real-time scheduling algorithms suffer from scheduling anomalies, that is, deadlines are originally met, but a decrease in execution times or an increase in periods of tasks can cause deadlines to be missed. We propose a partitioned multiprocessor fixed-priority scheduling algorithm with the prominent features that (i) it does not suffer from such scheduling anomalies and (ii) if less than 41% of the capacity is used then deadlines are met.

Walsall manager Dean Smith hopes his struggling team can build on the 2-0 win against Wycombe when they face Scunthorpe on Tuesday.

Two goals by Kevan Hurst and George Bowerman in the second half of Saturday's clash at the Banks's Stadium saw the Saddlers leapfrog Wanderers, but both sides remain in the League One relegation zone.
Smith said: "Scunthorpe had a good result at Leyton Orient and are a different team to the one we played earlier this season but our next game is always the most important.
"I thought we played well and deserved to win and in the second half I felt there was only one team going to win it."
But Smith had his heart in his mouth when striker Alex Nicholls missed his second penalty in a week, Wycombe keeper Nikki Bull going down quickly to keep out his low spot-kick in the 49th minute after Dave Winfield bundled over Florent Cuvelier.
But he defended Nicholls, adding: "Alex was brave enough to want to take the penalty and he had been practising penalties all day (on Friday). There is no blame apportioned to him."

Americade motorcycle rally underway in Lake George
LAKE GEORGE -- Americade is the world's largest touring motorcycle rally, and it is underway in Lake George.
Local police say Americade attracts at least 100,000 - 200,000 visitors during the 8 day event, which runs until Saturday.
"I like to describe the event in 3 F's," says Americade Spokesperson, Ed Linville. "Friends, Fun, and Fellowship. Americade brings in some of the nicest people you will ever meet in your entire life."
Americade includes over 60 events, two massive trade shows with nearly 250 vendors, demos and displays from major motorcycle manufactures, catered boat cruises, exclusive rodeos, stunt and laser shows, comedy shows and much more.
Harley Davidson is celebrating their 110th anniversary this year. The well known company has been with Americade since the event started in 1983. For more information on the 110th anniversary of Harley Davidson click here.
Sena Technologies, Inc is also sponsoring Americade this year for the first time. Sena is a Bluetooth innovator in the motorcycle and outdoor activities market, and is just one of the many participating companies.
Americade Emcee, Fred Rowe has been a speaker and a guest of Americade for years. "This event is so much a part of me," says Rowe. "I have met some amazing people. All of my friends are here. I will never miss this week, and I will always be a part Americade."
Rowe rode his bike into Lake George with his wife from California. Rowe travels around the world on motorcycles, and has traveled hundred of thousands of miles.
Americade employees tell CBS6 the event is one of the biggest profits to the village of Lake George.
The event takes place every year, rain or shine, during the first full week of June.
The "Cade" was founded by Veteran motorcyclist Bill Dutcher, and a small staff. The first event ever, drew in over 2,000 people.

This has little or nothing to do with AMB theory.
If you want your subs to work in Ambisonic mode, and the number
of subs is not the same as the nunmber of normal speakers, then
you would normally need to run two decoders, that is two instances
of the Ambdec program, each with its own configuration.
What Joern tried to explain is that if you know a bit of how
Ambdec works and is configured, you can edit the two configuration
files into one and just use one Ambdec. The thing that would be
missing in that case is some easy way to modify the balance between
subs and normal speakers. This is the 'gain coefficient' that Joern
referred to.
W.r.t. AMB theory, there are as far as I know no books about this.
Unless you really want to understand AMB at the mathematical level,
you won't need much acoustic theory, and what you need can be
explained in a fairly intuitive rather than a mathematical way.
There are some web resources about AMB, but some of them I would
not advise you to read. There are two ways to get a good basic
knowledge of AMB. The first: spend some time with one of 'the
experts', and let them explain things to you. Since that is
interactive it will go fast, but you need to find someone who
has the spare time, or who provides this sort of education on a
commercial basis. The second: collect all information you can
find - web resources, papers, whatever, and try to make sense of
it. It will be hard in the beginning. If necessary ask questions.
This will take more time and you'll have to invest a lot of effort,
but it works. It could very well be that some of the most practical
information is to be found in circles of game developers, AMB is
gaining some reputation there.
There are three of them, and Alleline.

Dec. 16 (Bloomberg) -- European Central Bank Governing Concil member Ewald Nowotny said it is necessary to retain government bonds as a risk-free asset and counter a general skepticism against sovereign debt.
There is "rising mistrust in certain nations when it comes to their refinancing, but there also is a general attitude that is more critical toward the asset class government debt," Nowotny told reporters in Vienna.
"This is very problematic because every economy needs risk-free assets as a basis for its financial industry," he added. "We have to do everything we can to make sure we keep this asset class."

Theodore Dreiser had a hardscrabble youth and the years of newspaper work behind him when he began his first novel, Sister Carrie, the story of a beautiful Midwestern girl who makes it big in New York City. Published by Doubleday in 1900, it gained a reputation as a shocker, for Dreiser had dared to give the public a heroine whose "cosmopolitan standard of virtue" brings her from Wisconsin, with four dollars in her purse, to a suite at the Waldorf and glittering fame as an actress. With Sister Carrie, the original manuscript of which is in the New York Public Library collections, Dreiser told a tale not "sufficiently delicate" for many of its first readers and critics, but which is now universally recognized as one of the greatest and most influential American novels.

Parents, students, younger siblings and staff members nearly filled Mesa Junior High School's auditorium Tuesday night to hear why that school is being recommended for closure at the end of the 2011-2012 school year.
About 300 people were present for the first of two public hearings on the Mesa Unified School District's recommendations to demolish Mesa Junior and close Brimhall Junior High School as a neighborhood school. The district is proposing moving students from Franklin Northeast, Franklin South and Franklin Junior High schools to the Brimhall campus.
District officials presented ideas late last month to address low enrollment -- with more than 4,000 empty seats -- in Mesa's 13 junior highs.
Mesa Junior is the district's oldest junior high school. It is also in great need of repair - to the tune of more than $4 million, according to the district. Superintendent Mike Cowan said the city would consider creating a sports facility on the Mesa Junior campus should it be closed.
But closing such a historical site was one issue parents and former students brought up during the hearing.
"There is history in the very walls of this campus. Many students have attended this school and are now successful and look back on their junior high fondly," said Mesa High School student Agata Lenard, a former Mesa Junior student. "Demolishing it would only cause chaos for the community."
Parent Christina Barraza wanted to know why the school needs so many repairs.
"I remember renovations at Kino (Junior High). I recall renovations at Westood (High School). I don't recall a renovation at Mesa (Junior). Why is it now ... that you're comparing it to a vehicle that's not worth fixing? Why did we let it go?" Barraza said, evoking applause from the crowd. "We've got young families in the vicinity. There are more families buying homes ... Let's keep this open. We have all these younger generations that are going to go here."
The district completed renovations on the Mesa Junior campus between 2005 and 2010, including the kitchen, roofing, and covered walkways. The district spent about $400,000 on the projects.
Another concern addressed by several Mesa Junior High parents is the school's proximity to where they live. Its closure could produce a problem for students who participate in after-school activities because families don't have transportation.
"Most of the kids who are here walk home. How are you going to transport for after-school activities? Have you put that into consideration?" parent Louise Romero asked the governing board. "I have five children. I will not - will not -- send them to Kino (Junior High)."
Many Franklin parents said they prefer the small environment of the Franklin schools and do not want the three schools combined on a big campus at Brimhall.
"Quality will be lost when you increase the quantity of the education," said parent and educator Liz Purtell. "I think it is foolish to think you'll attract home school families ... Franklin is competitive because of what it has to offer. One of those things it has to offer is a positive school climate. You have a school close to homes. We can go there to help during the day. We know the teachers. We know the kids in the area."
Purtell and other Franklin parents said they do not want to put their children on buses for a long period of time to get to school. She said she already enrolled her high school student outside the Mesa district because of the size of the high schools.
"I think you're losing part of what's attractive in Mesa Public Schools," she said.
In addition to about a dozen speakers from the audience, there were about two dozen more comments submitted and read to the audience by governing board members. Most stated that they did not want Mesa Junior High closed because of the culture and pride on campus.
A second hearing will be held Oct. 18 at Brimhall. A decision could be made as early as Nov. 8. If the decision is made to close any schools, a separate district committee will propose new boundaries for the remaining junior highs.
For more information, see the district's website www.mpsaz.org/future.

Report: 90 Percent of Condo Buyers Are Foreigners
By Kyle Munzenrieder
Unfortunately the Consolidated Plan is at least three years and 3000 homes behind schedule. It wasn't until July 2001 that Miami commissioners voted to make Model City first among the seven revitalization projects. To speed up the process administrators agreed that some type of public-private partnership would be best. "There's a project in St. Louis that's been going on since 1988," groans CDD acting director Dan Fernandes. "We said, 'I don't want to be in a wheelchair looking back at this.'" So the commission voted to create a trust to oversee and acquire land for new homes. Members of the trust, a mix of public officials and private citizens, were appointed by City Manager Carlos Gimenez and met for the first time this past June. As trust president Gimenez named Gwendolyn Warren, former director of the CDD.
To date the trust has acquired eight million dollars in properties. Warren estimates that land-acquisition costs for Model City alone will total $32 million. But she must still clear some budget hurdles. Recently she submitted her first budget for the Model City project. It called for expenditures totaling $10 million, nearly all the available money from HUD. "This is what I think we need to accomplish the task," she told a skeptical trust board of directors in August. "We can't tear up the community and leave it the way it is. We have to move forward."
If things do progress smoothly, the city will open a bid process later this year to hire a private contractor to actually start building, though construction is not expected to begin until sometime next year. "In a perfect world you'd look to do whatever is in your five-year plan," laments Fernandes, acknowledging that the goal of 1000 houses per year has turned out to be a very tall order. "When you're writing this stuff, words are easy," he adds. "It becomes reality-based when you're in the trenches." Still he remains optimistic: "We're evolving. Once we're able to do the first one, then hopefully we've created a model to move on with."

Command Prompt oddities
So I've got this Autohotkey script that I use to replace explorer.exe. I'm trying to get a command line working (instead of the standard Win+R), however I'm running into some odd problems.
I'm an admin user, and if I run cmd from Win+R, I don't have any problems. I can run every command I can think of that exists in the System32 folder. For example, I can run 'sndvol' and 'soundrecorder' without problems.
However, whenever I run a command from Autohotkey (which is running as admin), or even run a command from the command prompt that was initiated from Autohotkey, some things don't seem to be recognized. For example, I can run 'sndvol' no problem, but I can't run 'soundrecorder'.
I did notice something though, when I run Autohotkey as admin, the command prompt inherits that and it gets "Administrator:" at the beginning of the window title. However, this isn't making a difference, because running Autohotkey not as admin produces the same results.
So basically, the question is, what can cause the command prompt to not recognize certain commands? Is it a privilege issue? Is it an issue with those commands? What can I try?
Very odd problem... I would greatly appreciate help.
|My System Specs
|01 Sep 2010
When CMD is run, certain commands will be followed, regardless of the soruce. Other commands, you must right click and run as administrator.
Any command that affects the OS, must be run as administrator.
|My System Specs
|01 Sep 2010
It is running as admin. The title of the command prompt says "Administrator:"
I even turned off UAC and that didn't help. (Autohotkey is already running as admin)

Windows Server 2008 R2
No, sounds like a path issue - run echo %path% in a regular cmd prompt, and then again in the autohotkey cmd prompt and compare the differences. I'll bet the autohotkey's path is different - you may need to pass the full path when calling .exes under a cmd prompt run as a different user (as "run as administrator" does).

Has anyone's dh had a vasectomy?
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 11-05-2003 - 1:09pm
Anyway, what experience did your dh's have with a vasectomy? It really isn't that bad at all from what I have read. To top it off, it only cost $20 (co-pay).
|Wed, 11-05-2003 - 1:59pm
Stbxh had one. So I'm relieved he can't get HWB pg.
Seriously though .. it might be more than $20. There is anesthesia, and sometimes blood tests, and semen checks and other things that aren't covered under an office visit copay. It is often considered outpatient surgery and, although done in an office, is a procedure and not an exam. Check with your ins company to make sure of the costs. Stbxh's would have been $250 (deductible) except we'd already met the family deductible.
|Wed, 11-05-2003 - 2:12pm
He understands that there are less complications, less side effects and a very minute scarring on his part if he has it done.
If I had it done, I could go through much more problems and have higher risks.
He does want to make sure though that it doesn't cause impotence. If the doctor cannot guarantee that, then we may have a problem with him accepting it.
Also, it is covered by my insurance as well. As long as it's done by an Emory provider, it will only cost $35-co-pay. We have an HMO with no deductible. But if you have a deductible, you may have to meet it forst before paying so little.

Sure enough, she was pg with #3. Sadly, she lost it last week, but let this be a cautionary tale. Sometimes the knot comes out, or it grows back or whatever, so the guy has to get checked regularly. My DH is traumatized by a haircut, so there ain't no gettin' near his doo-dads with sharp objects.

"West Coast Jazz"? is one of those musical terms that causes controversy. Largely dismissed at the time by critics in New York, the musicians, arrangers, composers, producers and labels associated with West Coast Jazz have profoundly influenced the music we listen to today.
Start with Miles Davis' The Birth of the Cool. Although released under Miles' name, one could argue this is the work of Gerry Mulligan, John Lewis, and Gil Evans. Important because it shows the emphasis of writing and arranging in West Coast Jazz, it demonstrates another West Coast characteristic - the use of non-standard ...read more
What a difference 45 years makes. But 45 years don't change a thing. If this sounds like an obvious conflict, you should listen to Phil Woods and the Los Angeles Jazz Orchestra play twelve classic arrangements by Marty Paich. Paich is one of the unsung heroes of music as a pianist, composer, and arranger. Phil Woods is one of the top alto sax players in the history of the horn. The combination deserves a listen.
So where do the 45 years come in? These arrangements were first recorded by Art Pepper in '59 and eight can be found ...read more
"During the last half-century, New York's preeminence in the jazz world has faced a serious challenge only once. For a brief period following World War II, California captured the imagination of jazz fans around the world. West Coast jazz" suddenly became a catchword, a fad, a new thing." ~ Ted Gioia , Author of West Coast Jazz.
With the close of the Second World War, jazz underwent a massive transformation. For musical, cultural, technological and economic reasons, the swing era dominated by the big bands drew to a close. To fill the jazz void, the music split into ...read more

The Ten Most Badass Band Names in DFW

If not for injuries to veteran starters, the Rangers would've never relied upon refreshing rookie pitchers Harrison and Eric Hurley. Injuries to Hank Blalock (replaced by Ramon Vazquez) and Gerald Laird (Max Ramirez) and the flameout of Broussard (Chris Davis) inadvertently gave young players opportunities and presented fans with a glimpse of an enticing future that doesn't look half bad as the present.
Which brings us to my reality casserole. I hate to spoil a picnic that has seen the Rangers on the cover of Sports Illustrated and engaging in mosh-pit celebrations after game-winning homers, but this team isn't yet a legit contender.
Even with 20 of 26 games at home starting July 28, you'd have to be dopey enough to peer into John Wiley Price's version of a black hole to believe this pitching can hold up. Despite being baseball's best-hitting outfit, the Rangers can't survive into September with a current, crappy pitching staff whose combined ERA soars well above gas prices.
Trotting out starters like Harrison and Hurley and Scott Feldman and Warner Madrigal—who?—and the second coming of Mitch Williams (C.J. Wilson) as the closer, the Rangers would have to keep scoring 10 runs a game to catch the Angels. That's not realistic.
Which is why, like it or not, the Rangers should again be sellers come the July 31 trading deadline. This isn't the year. It's the year before the year.
Daniels should part with veterans such as Bradley, Guardado, Vicente Padilla and Blalock, guys who won't be a part of the pennant-chase proceedings come 2010. After considering Ramirez's clutch hitting and his "Double Play of the Year" against Anaheim in which he survived a violent home-plate collision and recovered to throw out a runner at third, the Rangers should commence an auction on either Laird or Jarrod Saltalamacchia.
Not that the rest of this season won't be captivating. That Washington still has his job, that the Rangers are above .500 and that this town will be talking baseball into August is remarkable.
Planned or not.

What a beautiful lyric to a most beautiful melody. Thank you so much. I've been singing it to myself today.
Like potter's clay on spinning wheel,
Grasped by strong hands that push and pull,
Our lives take shape in height and breadth,
In form and grace most wonderful.
Our vision shaped by hands of love,
What we have known is what we see.
We look at life as through a lens.
The eyes of love see differently.
As hatred blooms around the world,
As evil reigns and has its way,
The eyes of love are filled with hope.
Hate cannot last, love comes to stay.
So come now friends and family
In celebration, share in song.
That these two lives conceived in love
Will now be joined, their whole life long.
And may our prayers be offered here
That each may grow as husband, wife;
That love may bloom and bring new joy,
Transcending death, transforming life.
We raise our thanks and praise to God
With flute and pipe, with strings and voice;
We lift our hearts in gratitude
For life and love. Let all rejoice!
Music: "The Water Is Wide" – Traditional

Necessary Roughness Review: A Premiere with Potentialby Christine Orlando at . Comments
There are lots of things to like about USA's new original series, Necessary Roughness, but at the top of my list is seeing Callie Thorne playing a character that isn't a nutcase.
After her stint on Rescue Me and her guest spots on Burn Notice, I know that Thorne is an actress I enjoy watching. It's just nice to see her portray the role of a therapist instead of a person in need of one.
The series premiere showed a lot of promise and kept me engaged despite its hour and fifteen minute length. Dr. Dani (Thorne) has the right balance of grit and vulnerability for a woman divorcing her sleazy husband and starting over.
The supporting cast was also likable, though the characters certainly need more substance. Because you can only pack so much into a pilot episode, I'm willing to give that a pass and see where they take Dani's troublesome teens and vapid best friend.
Her mother also came across as more caricature than character but, again, I'm hoping the role will grow with time.
Dani's soon-to-be ex is so sleazy it's hard to believe a smart woman like Dani remained married with her head in the sand for so many years.
I'm thrilled to see Marc Blucas as Dani's one-time/potential love interest but it's Nico, the team's fixer played by Scott Cohen, who really captures my interest here.
Will he be a competitor for Dani's affections or turn out to be the best friend she didn't know she needed? Either way, there's a unique connection there and I can't wait to see it explored.
The biggest risk for this show is what I saw in the Terrence King storyline. Will Dani's pop psychology be able to fix every problem in 43 minutes or less each week? That can get tiresome, formulaic, and boring.
Because Terrence is supposed to come back for further sessions I'm hoping the issues get a little more complex.
Necessary Roughness has a great cast and plenty of potentially intriguing characters. If the story can keep up with them, I think we can look forward to various sessions each week.

Love the show but Dani shuts her eyse too too much. Watch next time. Gets on your nerves once you notice it. Half the time she talks with them closed. Eliminate that and is a great show!
Love the show. The reviews and imput will fine tune.for romance give me dani and nico slowly to savor and yes I do pick up therapy tips.wish the best. To writers and cast.thanks.
Totally in agreement, re: Dani and Nico. A far more interesting pair than Dani and Matt. Scott Cohen is a fabulous actor--it's a shame he is not more recognized than he is!
All of the women wear tight-fitting, low-cut clothes that reveal their perfect bodies and the men sport the tossled hair style (that I don't quite understand) and some have the "half-shave" that reveals what used to be considered the five-o'clock shadows back in the "old days." http://bit.ly/riZS0p
Awesome casting, engaging premise, lighthearted but emotionally compelling. The chemistry between Dani and Nico seems thick..look forward to the next episode. A few holes in writing and character development, but overall very promising for a pilot.
is the big guy who babysat for the kids the same guy that played manumana the slender in the movie necessary roughness? Peter Navy something?
Too smart?...Maria Shriver...HELLO!
Great casting, casually funny, easy going dialogue, clever banter and comeback... wonderful recipe for a good show. I just hope the run continues and that the script writers of this new programme are able to maintain its stamina throughout the season and not let it fall into a humdrum of predictability.
Fingers crossed.
It's refreshing to see a female with so much character. It does counter the Bromance's on USA net nicely. I also enjoyed it more than Fairly Legal and In Plain Sight combined. Dr. Dani (Thorne) might not be my idle woman but her sex appeal is undeniable. My only wish is they use story arc's , so it doesn't become just a : This Weeks Problem Procedural.
The concept of the show is wonderful. Looking forward to a full season.

High school students at a vocational school in Virginia that prepares students for careers as IT technicians are reinforcing their classroom learning by sharing information, encouragement, and their own quizzes and flash cards at a wiki-style website that offers a wealth of online tutorials and resources, all free. The site, ProProfs, combines some of the factors of a social networking site, with member blogs and chats, with elements of a wiki, in which users create and edit the content themselves.
ProProfs offers academic aid tools like tutorials and flash cards that allow students--at no charge--to use that content, and to create their own tools to share with others. The site launched its Quiz School service in March, with quizzes focusing on topics ranging from technical certifications to passing exams such as the SAT. Quiz School is one of a number of free online learning tools and resources on the ProProfs site, which is intended for students in K-12 and higher education, as well as anyone preparing for a myriad of other tests. Sub-sites focus on preparing for exams such as CompTIA's, Microsoft's and Cisco's technical certification exams, for example, along with the SAT.
"I've been encouraging students to get involved in the [ProProfs] forums to reinforce what I've been teaching in the classroom," said Larry Aldrich, who teaches the operating system and software side of a computer and technology class at Valley Vocational Technical Center in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia.
The two-year program at Valley Vocational, for juniors and seniors, is geared toward helping students earn a technical credential offered by an industry organization, the Computing Technology Industry Association, or CompTIA. The certification, called CompTIA A+, evaluates the hardware and software skills needed by a computer support technician. Valley Tech students are encouraged--though not required--to take the A+ exams during or at the completion of their studies. Hence, a site with a focus on understanding the material to pass those exams is enormously helpful.
Aldrich, who said he discovered the ProProfs site about a year ago and hasn't seen anything else like it, said he thinks that his students learn better when they socialize and exchange information amongst themselves, which the ProProfs site allows and encourages. "Real learning occurs when [students] associate with their peers and have 'skull sessions' together," Aldrich said. He said he encourages that in the classroom, but also finds ProProfs useful. "They can point out a way to remember something or [discuss] something I didn't cover."
While there is a plethora of sites that offer training and support, including practice quizzes, for students preparing for all different sorts of standard exams, Aldrich said ProProfs is the best he has seen that is offering--and maintaining--content around preparing for the CompTIA A+ exam absolutely free. Anyone can access the content on the site; students who want to create quizzes or flashcards need to register first.
Initially, Aldrich said, ProProfs created the web site content, but users are now encouraged to contribute. The site is closely maintained and monitored, he said: Inaccurate information or inappropriate postings are quickly corrected or removed.
Eventually, ProProfs plans to offer sub-sites dedicated to other standard exams, including the Graduate Record Exam (GRE), Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT), and standard teaching exams.
ProProfs founder and president Sameer Bhatia launched the site two years ago and has added content aggressively since. The site is advertising-driven, he said, but selectively so. "Advertising is very intrusive on many sites," Bhatia said. "We don't do any of that."

Bahrain's Interior Ministry has released the names and images of 20 people wanted in connection with the preparation and detonation of homemade bombs that targeted policemen, the ministry said.
The explosions have resulted in injuries to both civilians and security personnel and "also caused the spread of fear in the surrounding communities," the ministry said in a statement on its website.
The suspects have evaded arrest and the search for them has been intensified, it said. Blasts in two Shiite villages last month injured at least 11 policemen, the Information Affairs Authority said in a statement in April.
Tensions have simmered in the island nation since the government cracked down on a month of mass protests last year by mostly Shiite demonstrators demanding democracy and equal rights. At least 35 people were killed between Feb. 14 and April 15 last year, according to the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry, which investigated the unrest. The opposition says more than 40 other people died from tear gas inhalation and torture.
Small-scale protests still take place daily in Shiite villages and sometimes spill over into the capital, Manama.
