Or is it a ghost town now?
BF3 Nub fw.
Same question. I haven't played since late 07
yes they do
Coincidence or not today i also bought guardians licence , i only play the game in the biginning .
I just got my 4th copy in today. Lol I quit 3 times due to school. Currently downloading AOTI again. If you are playing or anyone else on this forum I'll be trying it out again if anyone wants to add me.
GT: xxK a 0 t i c (with a zero)
is it still 6.99 a month?
^ it is $10 a month.
had some good times on this game...
here mate.
^ Conversion to american dollars... $9.99
I wanna buy it again, but i always got that feeling if its worth paying $10 again,last time i played a year ago all my friends i played with dont even play anymore, pretty much alone now
^ You can add me if you want ^_^
I played last night and found a party of people and had a blast. We ran the GBR missions for i think 4-5 hours and had a blast doing it. They are having a GBR until march 29th so if you want to get a membership do it soon.

Sonny nudges Skye in his direction, Sonny nudges Kate in Connie's direction, and here's something new - Liz and Sam argue!
Outside of the courtroom, Sonny warns Skye that she owes him for holding off on Lorenzo until he brought her baby back. He threatens that she is technically an accessory for opening the door to Jason in the first place. She says that she could suddenly come up with a "crisis of conscience" and say that she saw Jason kill Alcazar. Sonny says that she better not have struck a deal with Ric. He seethes, "Don't see me so much as a threat, just see me as a better business option." He warns Skye that if she throws in with Ric, she'll end up with a knife in her back. He tells her to make her choice, and fast!
Liz walks in her front door and demands that Sam give her Jake. Lucky explains that Jake woke up and Sam was nice enough to go get him and feed him while he played with Cam. As Sam hands Jake over to Liz, she comments how strong he is -- just like his daddy. Jake goes to the kitchen with Cam and Liz tells Sam to leave. Well, they bicker back and forth for a while first, of course.
Lulu pulls away from Logan crying, and feels as if she owes him an explanation. She says that she hears bells when he kisses her - only they are alarm bells. He tells her that he wants her in bed, but only if she wants to be there. She tries to explain, but doesn't want to dump her junk on him. She says that Maxi has probably already told him what a horrible person she is. Logan says that he wants to hear it from her. Lulu sighs and says that the first time she slept with a guy was based on a lie -- and he was married. Logan guesses - correctly - that they are talking about Dillon. Lulu goes on to say that she wound up pregnant because of a defective condom. She admits that one of the many ramifications of her bad choices was that Dillon ended up losing the person he really loved. Logan offers a small conciliation. He says if they ever do sleep together, they will use every precaution possible. He tells Lulu that he's a big proponent of birth control, considering that he was a mistake for his mother to live with. He tells Lulu that he commends her courage for making the difficult choice to abort last summer. She cries and says that she still thinks about it. "I want to learn from my experience and not make the same mistakes again," she says. Logan tells her that there's a big difference between being careful and being completely shut down so she doesn't feel anything. He admits that he sounds self-serving, but he doesn't want to see it happen to her.
In Venezuela, Jerry calls "Lorenzo" and then hands the phone to Carly (so that the cop can hear everything.) Carly tells "Lorenzo" that they will meet up with him in Taiwan. The bank official promptly promises Jerry that he'll draft a check by day's end. After he leaves, Carly smashes a vase against the wall next to Jerry's head. She can't believe that he and Lorenzo are messing around with some kind of game while Jason rots in Jail. Jerry dodges the vase and explains that the guy on the phone was simply a very talented covert operations guy.
Epiphany busts an orderly pushing 2 racks of couture gowns through the hospital hallway. He explains by saying "What Kate Howard wants, Kate Howard gets". Epiphany goes straight to Kate's room and says that her magazine is a waste of trees with "empty-eyed girls" who are built "like sticks". Kate says that she has to do business from the hospital since no one will discharge her. Sonny comes in and Epiphany warns him that Kate's over-sized ego could pop.
Skye is put back on the stand and Diane is able to get her to say that there was no blood or any kind of disturbance in her home the night that Lorenzo disappeared. She also says that Lorenzo disappeared often in order to avoid the dangerous people who he was involved with. Diane asks if Skye has seen any evidence that would prove -- beyond a reasonable doubt -- that Lorenzo is dead. "No," Skye says. Ric isn't pleased. Next, Diane starts to "establish a pattern" by getting Skye to tell the jury about the time that Lorenzo found a woman to act like Sonny's dead wife Lilly. She asks if it's plausible that Lorenzo set up his own death and framed Jason. Skye is allowed to answer, "Knowing Lorenzo, it's not only plausible, but it's entirely possible." Next it's Ric's turn. He makes Skye recall that her relationship with Lorenzo was complicated and that he was a difficult man. He reminds her that Lorenzo had just taken her baby away from her and suggests that perhaps she was the person who let the killer in. Next, Ric calls Amelia to the stand. He wants to know about the night of Jason's transfer when she was caught up in the shootout between Jason and a gunman. "All I know is the defendant saved my life," Amelia says. She is also able to communicate that Jason was acting in self defense. Ric points out that the only reason she was shot at in the first place is because Jason is a mob hetman.
Sonny carries Kate in his arms and deposits her on his sofa. She stands up and tells him she's capable of taking care of herself. "Unless you need me as an alibi…" she jokes. He tells her to sit until he's sure she won't fall on her face on her way home. Max calls Sonny out of the room and tells him that Jerry Jacks disappeared the same day as Carly and the all the boys will say is that they're helping Jason.
Lulu reports to work at Kelly's and Georgie says that she shouldn't work on her b-day. She says that Spinelli was in earlier working on a b-day poem for her. Georgie asks Lulu why she's not spending the day with Spinelli or one of her other guys. Lulu confides in Georgie by saying that after he bad experience with sex, she's not sure if she ever wants to go there again. Georgie asks, "You just left Logan's room, right?"
Kate stands up and asks Sonny if he wants to see cartwheels. He says no, but he offers to teach her how to swim to repay her for saving Morgan. He says that they can use his heated pool at nighttime so that no one has to see her flailing around. Just then, Morgan comes into the room and gives her some flowers and a big hug. Alexis walks in and comments that it looks like a nice family moment. (She has forms for Sonny to sign for Kristina's summer camp.) She turns to Kate and thanks her, again, for helping with the boarding school application a while ago. She tells Kate that she would make a wonderful mother and that "step children count." After Alexis leaves, Kate becomes curt and tells Sonny that they need to discuss some harsh realities. She tells him that she's letting her guard down here, but if she doesn't leave Port Charles, she'll get swallowed up in suburbia and become who he wants her to be. "Kate Howard cannot exist in your world," she yells, but Sonny reminds her that Kate Howard is a sham. He points out that she ran away years ago the same way that she runs away now by hiding behind Kate. He says that she iced over a wonderful woman only because she didn't think the world could give her what she wanted. Kate counters by saying that she'll sell her house. Sonny says that Connie is closer to the surface than she's been in a long time. He draws her in for a kiss and Kate holds his face in her hands.
Ric calls his last witness to the stand. His name is Donald Mancini and he's a gardener on Lorenzo's road. He is invited to say what he has seen. He starts by saying that he saw Jason outside Mr. Alcazar's house. "I saw Jason Morgan put Mr. Alcazar's dead body in the back of an SUV."
Mr. Mancini tells the court that he didn't come forward earlier because he thought Jason would kill him.
Liz goes to Alexis and asks her to "back Sam off" of Lucky.
Sam tells Lucky that he has been so nice.

The present application is continuation of commonly assigned, U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/417,276 filed Oct. 13, 1999 now U.S. Pat. No. 6,472,220, which is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/985,299 filed Dec. 4, 1997, now issued as U.S. Pat. No. 6,036,924. The complete disclosure of all applications listed above are incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.
The present invention relates to techniques for obtaining and analyzing blood samples, and more particularly to techniques for storing lancets that can be used for obtaining and analyzing blood samples in a convenient manner.
The analysis and quantification of blood components is an important diagnostic tool for better understanding the physical condition of a patient. Since adequate noninvasive blood analysis technology is not currently available, blood samples still need to be obtained by invasive methods from a great number of patients every day and analyzed. A well known example of such needs is self monitoring of glucose levels by a diabetic individual, e.g., performed at horse. Many products for self monitoring of blood glucose levels are available commercially. Upon doctors recommendations and using such products, patients typically measure blood glucose level several (3-5) times a day as a way to monitor their success in controlling blood sugar levels. For many diabetics, the failure to test blood glucose regularly may result in damage to tissues and organs, such as kidney failure, blindness, hypertension, and other serious complications. Nevertheless, many diabetics do not measure their blood glucose regularly. One important reason is that the existing monitoring products may be complicated, inconvenient, and painful, requiring a pin-prick every time a measurement is made. Furthermore, these products require some skill, dexterity, and discipline to obtain useful measurements.
Today, a diabetic patient who needs to monitor and control blood glucose levels typically carries the following paraphernalia: (1) a supply of disposable lancets, (2) a reusable lancing device which accepts the lancets, (3) an electronic glucose meter (glucometer), (4) a supply of disposable glucose test strips for the meter, and (5) tools for insulin injection (insulin, disposable hypodermic needles, and a syringe). These items may be carried in the form of a kit, which may also contain (6) a variety of control and calibration strips to assure the accuracy of the meter and the measurement. Examples of devices for monitoring blood glucose include GLUCOMETER ELITE glucose meter, Miles Inc. Elkhart, Ind., and ONE TOUCH PROFILE glucose meter, Lifescan Inc., Milpitas, Calif.
Using a typical glucose meter and lancing device, the sampling and measurement process is generally as follows. First, the user prepares the meter for use by removing a test strip from a protective wrapper or vial and inserting the test strip in the meter. This simple process requires some dexterity, since the test strips are very small, flexible, and can be damaged by accidentally touching the active sensing region. The glucose meter may confirm the proper placement of the test strip and indicate that it is prepared for a sample. Some glucose meters also may require a calibration or reference step at this time. Next, the patient cleans his finger when he intends to use the lancet—the finger is the preferred place for routine sampling, because it is an easily accessible place for most people. The user prepares the lancing device by (1) removing a cover from the lancing device, (2) placing a disposable lancet in the lancing device, (3) removing a protective shield from the sharp lancet tip, (4) replacing the cover, and (5) setting a spring-like mechanism in the lancing device which provides the force to drive the lancet into the skin. These steps may happen simultaneously, e.g., typical lancing devices set their spring mechanisms when one installs the lancet. The user then places the lancing device on the finger. (The density of nerve endings decreases toward the lateral edges of the fingertips; thus, slightly lateral locations are preferred to the fingertips.) After positioning the lancing device on the finger, the user presses a button or switch on the device to release the lancet. The spring drives the lancet forward, creating a small wound.
After lancing, a small droplet of blood may appear spontaneously at the lancing site, usually 2-20 .mu.l in volume. If no blood sample appears spontaneously, the patient may "milk" the finger by massaging or squeezing it slightly and thereby promoting blood flow from the wound. In either case the user examines the droplet of blood, judges by eye and experience whether the size of the sample is adequate for the chosen test strip (different test strips require different sample volumes). If adequate, the user quickly places the blood sample on a test strip (held in the glucose meter) according to manufacturer's instructions. Typically, the user inverts the finger to create a pendant drop and touches the drop (not the finger) to an active region on the test strip that absorbs the blood. The action is difficult because inverting the finger over the test strip occludes the view of both the drop and the active region of the test strip. Furthermore, it is difficult to control the separation between the finger and the test strip which may be only a millimeter. Certain types of strip may require blotting and rubbing in a particular way. Another type of test strip draws the sample into the active region by capillary action. With this type, the user brings the sample in contact with a small opening on the test strip, and capillary action draws the sample volume into the test strip. Both types of strips (absorbent blots and capillaries) require that adequate sample volumes of blood exist on the finger before transferring the sample to the strip. One cannot apply more drops after the first application. This is because the principle of glucose measurement methods using current glucose meters depends on the rate of change in a chemical reaction, and the addition of additional sample confounds that rate and thus the calculation of glucose concentration. For convenience to the patient (user), it is desirable to have the entire droplet wick away from the finger onto the test strip, leaving the finger mostly free of blood. This is easier to accomplish with the capillary-fill test strips. The GLUCOMETER ELITE device has capillary-fill type test strips which require a few microliters of sample, only some fraction of which contacts the active sensor region.
After blood has been transferred to the test strip, the glucose meter then measures the blood glucose concentration (typically by chemical reaction of glucose with reagents on the test strip). Such blood glucose measurements permit the diabetic to manage his glucose levels, whether that be to inject a corresponding dose of insulin (generally Type I diabetic) or using a protocol established with his physician to modify his diet and exercise (Type I or Type II diabetic). Used lancets and test strips are removed and discarded (or kept for subsequent disposal in a hazardous waste container kept elsewhere). Any extra blood is cleaned from the equipment and the wound site, and all pieces of apparatus are stored for future use. The entire process usually takes a few minutes.
With the currently available blood glucose monitoring technology, a new lancet and test strip are used every time. The lancet and test strip are separate items, often purchased from different manufacturers. Furthermore, both are protected by a package or a protective shield, which must be removed before use, adding the requirement for dexterity. Because both are exposed to blood (considered a bio-hazard) they require careful or special disposal.
Each lancet prick causes pain. Among other considerations, pain from the lancet corresponds to the size of the wound, for a given location on the finger. A small lancet wound, which may cause less pain, may not provide enough blood for a sample, while a large wound may produce considerable pain and may clot slowly, causing great inconvenience to the user, who must take great care not to smear the leaking blood everywhere—clothes, work surfaces, glucometer, etc.—for some time thereafter.
From the above, it is clear that the conventional technique for blood sampling and analysis requires dexterity. Dexterity is required to load strips in a glucometer (unwrapping and inserting), as well as for positioning a small droplet onto the sensor surface of a test strip. Sample droplets are a few millimeters across and must be placed on similarly sized area of the test strip. This can be especially difficult for a weak, chronic or elderly diabetic patient, whose motions may be unsteady, vision compromised, or judgment impaired. Thus, the above prior systems are inconvenient and unpleasant to use. These shortcomings reduce the level of compliance of patients who need to perform these measurements assiduously.
Therefore, it is desirable to devise techniques of blood extraction and measurement that are easy to administer. What is needed are improved devices and methods for sampling and analyzing blood that require less mental concentration, less exertion, and less dexterity.
This invention provides techniques for extracting a sample of human blood for the measurement of one or more of its constituents, such as might be used for routine monitoring of a chronic condition such as diabetes mellitus. The techniques of the present invention simplify the extraction and transfer of the blood sample, and reduce the inconvenience of the process. The techniques can be advantageously used in, for example, blood glucose monitoring as explained above.
In one aspect of the present invention, a cassette is provided for storing cartridges which can be used for sampling blood from the skin of a patient. The cassette has a cassette housing, i.e., a container, with room to hold a plurality of cartridges. When in use, the cassette contains at least one cartridge having a cartridge case and a lancet. The lancet has a tip and is housed in the cartridge case and operatively connected to the cartridge case such that the lancet can be driven to extend the tip outside the cartridge case for lancing the skin of the patient. The container has a compartment for storing at least one, but preferably many, cartridges. Alternatively many compartments can each contain one cartridge. A cartridge can be loaded from the cassette to a glucometer that can drive the lancet to lance the skin of a patient. In an preferred embodiment the cassette is associated with the driver so that the driver can be used to drive different cartridges of the cassette without having to remove the cassette from the glucometer. By keeping the cartridges, cassette, and the glucometer together, the process of lancing the skin is significantly simplified.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the technique of sampling blood utilizes a single unit for lancing and measurement (versus separate lancers and meters as in methods of prior technology) to significantly reduce the assortment of devices and supplies the user must carry. The glucometer of the present invention can accept a pre-loaded number of cartridges (with lancets) that are ready for use. In a preferred embodiment, the lancet and the analysis site for blood are in the same cartridge, further increasing the convenience of use. Using the blood sampling and analysis devices of the present invention, unlike the procedures used in conventional technology, the long list of steps required is significantly reduced. For example, after lancing, there is no need to return the package of lancet and the glucometer to storage separately. When the time for the next lancing arrives, there is no need to fumble for the lancet, lancing device and glucometer separately. Furthermore, the cassette can provide a convenient place for storing spent (i.e. used) cartridges, thereby facilitates easy disposal of spent cartridges and reduces the risk of blood contamination to others.
The following figures are included to better illustrate the embodiments of the apparatus and technique of the present invention. In these figures, like numerals represent like features in the several views.
In one aspect of the invention, the present invention provides an apparatus—a cassette of cartridges—that can be used in conjunction with a lancing device that can drive the lancet of a cartridge. The cassettes of the present invention facilitate sampling blood safely, analyzing the blood sample conveniently, and disposing of the lancet and blood safely. In some preferred embodiments, using the lancet device, a patient can perform these sampling and analysis activities without touching the lancet by hand.
Cassettes for holding cartridges can be designed and made for a wide variety of cartridges in accordance with the present invention. For example, applicable cartridges include preferred embodiments of test cartridges in the copending U.S. patent application entitled "Lancet Cartridge for Sampling Blood,", filed on the same day and commonly assigned to the same assignee as the present application, are briefly described below. Said copending application is incorporated by reference in its entirety herein. These cartridges are described briefly here. It is to be understood that although test cartridges with analytical regions are described in detail herein, the present invention also is applicable for cartridges that do not have an analytical region, such as a cartridge having a chamber for storing blood after sampling.
An example of a cartridge suitable for use in the present invention includes a lancet, a cartridge case with an opening through which the lancet can protrude, and a test area associated to the cartridge case for analysis of blood. The lancet is mounted in the cartridge case in such a manner that (1) it can move with respect to the cartridge case and extend through the opening when forced by a separate actuator, and (2) when no actuating force acts on the cartridge, the lancet has a natural resting position completely inside the cartridge case (for example, constrained by a detent spring). Analysis can be done in the test area. An alternative is that a chamber can be used to store blood to be transferred to a separate analytical area from the test area. Further, it is to be understood that the cassettes of the present invention may be modified to accommodate other types of cartridges, and that other variations of the cassettes can be made to be used with other cartridges show described herein.
Flat Cartridge
In this embodiment, as shown in
When pushed, i.e., urged forward or actuated, the lancet 106 extends through the cartridge wall through an exit port 133. The lancet 106 will extend out of the distal side distal side of the lancing device through lancing hole 176, see
In a preferred embodiment (although not clearly shown in
For analysis of the blood sampled, the test area 124 can contain chemicals that react with components of the blood samples. For example, enzymes that react with glucose can be present. The test area may also contain reagents that react with the iron present in the blood hemoglobin. Techniques, including electrochemical or spectroscopic techniques, that can be used for analysis of blood can be incorporated in the test cartridge 100. Examples of applicable analysis techniques can be found in, e.g., Tietz, Norbert W., Textbook of Chemical Chemistry, Chapter 6, pp 784-807, W. B. Saunders Co., Philadelphia, Pa., 1986, which are incorporated by reference herein. Test strips for analyzing glucose, pH, iron, and other common blood qualities are known in the art. For example, ONE TOUCH PROFILE diabetes tracking system commercially available from Lifescan Inc., Milpitas, Calif. 95035 has a unit that utilizes a strip for analyzing blood glucose and has an electronic system for displaying the result of analysis.
The top plate 112 or the top surface 110 may have a variety of useful markings that indicate which test cartridge is in use (in the case that the test cartridge is one out of many from a stack of test cartridges), and indication of batch or lot number of manufacture (for quality control and calibration), or that the cartridge is a special-purpose cartridge (e.g., for checking or calibration). (For comparison, some current lancing systems that make use of calibration strips are, e.g., GLUCOMETER ELITE glucose meter, Miles Inc. Elkhart, Ind., and ONE TOUCH PROFILE glucose meter, Lifescan Inc., Milpitas, Calif.).
Other embodiments of test cartridges are also applicable in accordance with the present invention, such as one with the test area 124 protruding at the a different side of the lancet area, or having a test area that resides directly neighboring the lancet 106 near the tip 122, so that the entrance (i.e., sample port) 128 to the capillary volume 126 and the exit port 133 for the lancet 106 are nearly coincident. This latter design enables the patient to lance the skin, and have the sample port for the test strip co-located for immediate filling. An example of such an embodiment is shown in
Bar-Shaped Cartridge
B. Cassette Containing Several Cartridges.
Cassette For Flat Cartridges
In the embodiment shown in
The body 168 of the glucometer 166 further has electronic circuits including a processor (which is not shown) to control and read the results of an analysis using the test cartridge, electrical data port 173, and control buttons for control, communication, programming, and set-up of the instrument (setting date, time, language preference, scrolling through stored values, on/off settings, instrument diagnostics, etc., as well as sending or receiving information to electronics external to the body).
To provide a driving (or actuating) force to push the lancet for lancing, a lockable actuator 180, e.g., one that contains a sliding lever for cocking a spring-activated (the spring and the puncher are not shown) puncher can be used. After cocking the spring in preparation for lancing, a button 182 car be pressed to or release the spring-activated puncher to drive the pre-loaded lancet. As a result, the lancet tip is driven to extend out of the test cartridge 100. Spring actuated cockable mechanisms are know in the art. The present cockable actuator is similar to those found in existing lancing devices, but is integrated into this instrument housing. The lancing button 182 preferably is located away from the control buttons 174 and has a different color, and markings, for preventing from being activated inadvertently.
To illustrate the use of the embodiment of the glucometer of
The droplet of blood can be exposed to sample port 128 and transferred to the test area 124 to be analyzed. Result of the analysis is transferred electrically through electrical contacts, wires, and connections to the processor. After analysis and data collection, the spent test cartridge can be ejected and stored in the chamber 154 for spent cartridges in the cassette 150.
Cassette For Bar-Shaped Cartridges
In general, a lancing device having a driver with a cocking and release mechanism including a release button can be used for driving the test cartridge. Such mechanisms with release buttons are known in the art. Examples of a lancing device that can be used in conjunction with the test cartridges and cassettes of the present invention are described in copending application copending U.S. patent application, entitled "Integrated System and Method for Blood Sampling and Analysis," and copending U.S. patent application, entitled "Reproducible Lancing for Sampling Blood," filed on the same day and commonly assigned to the same assignee as the present application, said copending applications are incorporated by reference in their entirety herein.
Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described and illustrated in detail, it is to be understood that a person skilled in the art can make modifications, especially in size and shapes of features within the scope of the invention.

I have been thinking about my antenatal checks at the first hospital, and wonder if they should have taken more care. As briefly as possible....I have pcos, high bmi, father had type II diabetes, mother has high bp, and Im 40yrs old, it was my first pregnancy. I had 1 in 29 risk of Downs syndrome (Trisomy 21), I developed gestational diabetes around 20wks and was on insulin from 23wks. My bp from the start was 140/90. By 26 wks I had only put on 4lb in weight. Had a scan at 24wks because they wanted to check on size of baby due to diabetes. Fundal height was measured 24/25/26 wks. At the 26wk check (my last before I transferred) I was told everything was 'normal' and there was no need for them to pass any info on to the new hospital.
At 26+4 I registered with new dr, bp was 185/125, 4+ protein. Admitted to hosp and Ellie was delivered at 27wks due to IUGR and pre eclampsia.
As time goes on I think a lot about things that happened (we lost Ellie when she was 27days old). Surely I was pretty high risk from the start? I can't understand why my bp was not more of a concern, and why nobody noticed that Ellie hadnt grown from 24wk scan to 26wk check. She was actually born at 580g having been estimated at 24wk scan and 27wk scan at 650g.
Maybe these are silly questions....but its bugging me right now.
Thanks for listening, hope somebody has some answers!

My classes for this quarter (which goes from late July to late September) just started yesterday. This semester I'm taking supervisory management, computer information systems and business communications. I'm least looking forward to computer information systems and I wish it was something cool like "blog html" hehe. Wouldn't that be a cool class to take!? I think I'll probably do best in supervisory management and it'll be interesting since I'm trying to become an assistant manager at work.
I have some potentially awesome news but I don't want to blog about it until I have something concrete to back things up. However, if you all could please keep Dustin and me in your thoughts and hope for good things that'd be GREAT.
And I have some sad news. My mom gave me a Stephen King book to read, Duma Key. Generally I don't like Stephen King, something about his writing style. And I seriously tried to give this one a shot. But I just couldn't. So I headed to the library yesterday for some new books. Fail on my part.
FINALLY, I have a winner to announce for the Miss Betty Lou giveaway! Remember, this is the gorgeous necklace that you'll win (unless I steal it from you first, hehe).
Amy, please email me with your info! And you better wear that necklace to the bloggy get together!
Tweet tweet! See what I have to say on Twitter.

The Milford CT branch of Uncle Bob's Storage is OFF THE CHARTS wonderful. The quality of the facility is beyond any storage company I've ever dealt with. It's like a fine hotel for my stuff. It's better than some apartments I've lived in! (lol.) It seems very secure and extremely clean. The staff were very nice and signing up took less time than I expected. The only not-perfect thing I noticed was that the hours of access are more limited than other places I've rented from, but overall the benefits far far outweigh this.Shelly from New Haven, CT

HAZARD – Meth labs have been on the rise in Kentucky for the past three years, with more than 1,200 discovered by authorities in each of the past two. A very small amount of those illegal operations were found in Perry County, though this year could be different.
As of April 30, police have already located at least five meth labs in Perry County, including two utilizing the so-called one-step method.
"It was a lot more in the western counties (of Kentucky)," noted Perry County Deputy Elmer Fugate. "Now it's made its way over here."
The most recent arrests in Perry County were made on April 18 after two people were charged with manufacturing meth inside a small shack in the Bonnyman community. The day before, authorities reported finding meth precursors in a home less than a half mile away, while the week before that officers with the Hazard Police Department located a one-step lab inside a house in the Lothair community.
"I think it's been in Perry County for a while, we've just not seen it," said Joe Engle, deputy chief with the Hazard Police Department. "I think we've just got more people making it than what there was."
Methamphetamine is widely listed as one of the most addictive illegal drugs, and can be ingested in a number of ways, from injection to inhalation. The compound was first synthesized in 1887, and later administered to soldiers to prevent fatigue during World War II. When ingested, meth provides a stimulant effect, though it also represents a plethora of negative side effects, including brain damage, organ failure, and dental deterioration often referred to as "meth mouth."
The manufacturing of meth also presents issues, both for human health and for the local environment. Most labs discovered in Eastern Kentucky have been small clandestine operations in back yards or even inside vehicles, known as rolling meth labs. In addition to pseudoephedrine, several everyday items are used in making the drug, many of them toxic, including drain cleaner, lithium batteries, and lye. According to the Meth Project Foundation, an anti-meth initiative, five pounds of waste are produced for every one pound of product.
Numerous instances of meth lab explosions have also been reported, resulting from a volatile mix of chemicals. A South Carolina man was expected to plead guilty just this week in connection with a meth lab explosion that killed three people in 2012, one a four-year-old child.
"One of the biggest fears, of course, is the danger of making it," said Deputy Chief Engle. "You've got the danger of explosions, the chemicals coming off of it. If you breathe the stuff in while it's being manufactured, it could kill you or damage your lungs severely."
Engle attributed the increase in local meth cases to the higher cost of prescription pills, which for the past decade have remained widely abused in the county. Deputy Fugate noted that access to mostly readily available ingredients likely is playing a role in the uptick as well.
"The only thing that they have any kind of problems in getting to make it is Sudafed," Fugate said. "They're actually coming up with ways around that."
In 2012, the Kentucky legislature enacted limits on the purchase of pseudoephedrine, which is used in many cold and allergy medications. The law requires a prescription for more than 7.2 grams per month. But as Deputy Fugate noted, meth makers are finding ways of obtaining the substance, including the use of a method called smurfing in which several different people purchase the maximum allotment and bring it back to the manufacturer.
In an area already racked by issues with rampant prescription pill abuse, meth presents families and law enforcement officials with additional problems, from the expense in cleaning up meth labs to having to deal with addicts who display varied behavior. According to a 2010 report from the Kentucky State Police, the state spent more than $2.5 million in investigating and disposing of meth labs, up nearly $800,000 from the previous year. Considering other costs, such as man hours, overtime, and lab analysis, the state spent more than $30 million combating meth in 2009.
"It's here," Deputy Fugate said. "It's clear that it's here, it's just a matter of tracking it down and finding it. That's why, any complaint that we receive, these guys they do an excellent job in getting out and investigating these complaints. As much as they can take off the streets, the better the communities are going to be, but we do urge anybody that does have any information or any kind of tips or anything to call. We don't take them lightly."

Lindsay Lohan Hangs Out Backstage at The Wanted Concert Post-Arrest
Lindsay Lohan's own father may have given up on her after her latest arrest, but LiLo's new BFFs from The Wanted seem to be more supportive than ever.
Perhaps because Lindsay's late-night scuffle was reportedly over bandmate Max George or perhaps because they're legitimately concerned about "the best drunk in New York," the boys of The Wanted haven't stopped voicing their support for the troubled star since she got arrested for assault last week.
The Wanted member Jay McGuiness even went so far as to don as homemade "Free Lindsay" t-shirt during the band's Thursday night concert.
"I'm a little bit of an artist, so I got the old sharpie out," Jay told MTV News about his t-shirt. "And yeah, after a small scuffle that went down, I felt very sorry for her. I wanted to cheer her up and I think she said she liked it, right?"
"She's the best drunk in New York," Max told E! Online. "She was cool. She had a bit of a scrap but it wasn't down to us."
The boys' support apparently hasn't gone unnoticed by LiLo. In the star's first public appearance since the whole assault ordeal, Lindsay hung out backstage at Q102's Jingle Ball concert in Philadelphia where The Wanted was performing.

McFARLANE: INTERNATIONAL MAN OF MYSTERY
Staffers Spend a Week in our Hong Kong Facilities
April 19, 2002
As reported earlier on our message boards at spawn.com, Todd McFarlane and several McFarlane staffers (chief operating officer Larry Marder, executive director of manufacturing and logistics Sheri Halvorson and board moderator Drew Hutchinson) are currently visiting our production facilities in Hong Kong.
The group is there for several reasons, not the least of which is to document the entire McFarlane Toys production process for our fans. The group will be reporting in via e-mail and phone. As soon as the photos and information start flowing, we'll open a new mini-feature in our Features section at spawn.com to document it. We're expecting to get some interesting digital video from the tours that we'll post as well.
Ultimately, we'll assemble much of the footage and photography and combine it with resources from our New Jersey office to build a complete A to Z index of how a McFarlane Toys action figure comes to life, from initial sketch to final production piece.
Stay tuned for that and ongoing updates from Asia.

Lost in Translation
Fons Trompenaars; Peter Woolliams
Price: $6.93
People vary enormously in how they perceive and respond to failure, and those perceptions and responses are shaped by the cultures in which they grew up or now work. Western multinationals are sinking a huge amount of money into India, China, and Brazil, and emerging giants in those countries are setting up operations in world markets as well. Any business with global aspirations must take seriously cultural differences in general and around failure in particular. Drawing on the findings of a global survey that has been ongoing for 30 years, Trompenaars and Woolliams have identified the dimensions along which people from various cultures differ regarding failure. They discuss the five most important of those dimensions: (1) Do we view our environment as internally or externally controlled? (2) Which is more important-rules or relationships? (3) Are failures the responsibility of the individual or of the team? (4) How much do we identify with our failures? (5) Do we grant status according to performance or to position? The authors describe how some forward-looking companies are managing to reconcile cultural differences to create a powerful platform for innovation.

- femtoscopy data (1) (remove)
- Transport model analysis of femtoscopy data at RHIC energies (2006)
- The pion source as seen through HBT correlations at RHIC energies is investigated within the UrQMD approach. We find that the calculated transverse momentum, centrality, and system size dependence of the Pratt-HBT radii R_L and R_S are reasonably well in line with experimental data. The predicted R_O values in central heavy ion collisions are larger as compared to experimental data. The corresponding quantity sqrt R_O^2-R_S^2 of the pion emission source is somewhat larger than experimental estimates.

Hi gang, long time since I've posted but I'm after a little help.
I have a couple of Ed Giddings meshes that I would seriously like to put new registrations on BUT my lack of modelling skills is preventing me. If they were texture based registrations, I could manage quite nicely thank you but unfortunately both models employ modelled ship's registrations which I have no idea (let alone skill) to adjust
The models are his excellent 1701-E and the Delta Flyer, both in 3ds Max.
Any help would be appreciated
