Comments On Jan 20, 2014:Increased air flow which increased performance. Even with extra air flow, the main filter seemed as if it got less dirty riding across the Southern AZ desert.

Comments On Aug 05, 2013:I haven't had the chance to really get out and put my 450R through its paces since I've installed this item. I run a Curtis Sparks exhaust and they recommended running with no airbox lid . I had to rejet after installing the exhaust, and she runs great. I haven't made any adjustments to the jets since putting this airbox lid on. The quad starts and idles well, but I'm withholding final judgement for after our first ride. If this works like I hope, I will update my review and rating.

Comments On Jan 25, 2011:I have several buddies that have drilled out there stock lid and have flooded the airbox as a result. The K&N lid fixes that problem and allows more air in.

Comments On Feb 02, 2010:added a little power.. made the quad about ten times louder and had to rejet of course... overall a great product... except for the price, for that much id have expected more gain in power

Comments On Jan 13, 2010:01 400Ex the horsepower gain is great, but the lid will let in alot of water and stop u for at least 20 minutes. It sucks when people r waiting on ur bike to dry out.

Comments On Nov 11, 2009:More air = More Power. This upgrade is a winner, hands down. The increase in throttle response and power is huge! Just be cautious that you'll need to do some rejetting when you put this on.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Sep 22, 2009:simply removing the lid off the stock airbox will do the same thing as this filter will but then you will have to clean the round filter inside the box which is more time consuming. the filter box lid is a flat rectangle that takes 60 seconds to clean. makes maintenance of ur air filter MUCH less of a hassle.

NEW YORK Secondary lead industry stakeholders have voted against a proposal to draft new standards for lead battery recycling, a move that drew criticism from RSR Corp.
The vote took place last week at a meeting organized by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), which proposed that new standards be drafted. More than 100 people attended the meeting, an ASTM spokesman told AMM, noting that this included representatives from Milwaukee-based Johnson Controls Inc.; Exide Technologies, Milton, Ga.; Gopher Resource LLC, Eagan, Minn.; and Dallas-based RSR.....

We are sorry, we have no reviews to displayWrite the first review
Knowing that a truly ergonomic chair could make more of a difference to user health than most any other product, Humanscale entered the task seating market in 1999 with the Freedom chair, which has won 10 design awards to-date - including the Design Distinction Award in the prestigious ID Design Review 2000 competition. The Freedom chair has revolutionized the task chair industry and has set new standards for task chair performance and functionality. Because of its honest design aesthetic, Freedom has also been seen in dozens of feature films and is a regular in prime-time, being featured on hit television shows such as 24, CSI Miami and Boston Legal.
In 2004, Humanscale launched its extremely popular Liberty chair line. With its patent-pending Form-Sensing Mesh Technology, the Liberty chair takes the benefits of mesh seating – breathability, durability, sustainability and aesthetic appeal – to the next level, providing exceptional comfort and automatically customized lumbar support without an external lumbar device. To date, Liberty and the new Liberty Side Chair have won over 12 design awards, including Best of NeoCon Gold and ID Design Distinction Awards for each.
Most recently, Humanscale's 13-member in-house design team, led by Design Director Manuel Saez, has continued Humanscale's history of innovation, by designing such award-winning products as the M7 monitor arm, L2 notebook manager and FM500 foot rest. Housed in a new facility in the heart of Manhattan, the Design Studio features a team-oriented workstation design that encourages idea sharing and communication among all team members. It also boasts a state-of-the-art machine shop / prototyping lab that facilitates the speed and efficiency by which concepts can be realized into 3-dimensional and functional prototypes. The Design Studio works very closely with Humanscale's in-house ergonomists to ensure that all designs are based on the latest human factors research and knowledge.
Humanscale has always been committed to environmental sustainability and continually strives to design, engineer and manufacture products that consume less of the Earth's limited resources. This is accomplished by creating products that weigh less (i.e. require less material), have fewer parts (which requires fewer manufacturing processes) and contain a high percentage of recycled and recyclable content. Additionally, wherever possible, Humanscale utilizes aluminum as its material of choice. Their aluminum is 100% recycled and recyclable which never degrades, enabling it to be reused over and over again. Using aluminum usually costs them more than plastics, but their products are better for it. And so is the environment.

I thoroughly enjoy my steamer. I am able to steam any type of fabric. I actually look for items I can steam because I have so much fun with it. Thanks HoMedics for making such a great product.

This is wonderful. I was taking my clothes to the planchaduria but now I am doing them myself. The only weak spot is on the creasing tool handle. The attachment that it clips on has already broken(i have dropped it on the tile floor) and i am hoping to purchase a replacement.

This is my first steamer and I truly love it. It's only take seconds to heat up and it's amazing to watch the wrinkles disappear. I will never iron another shirt or dress again

this steamer was given to me by daughter at christmas and it is awesome, heats up fast, and cools down fast, i hate to iron and this is the next best thing to slice bread. wish i had gotten one years sooner. will not be out one ever again
great product would highly recommend

This is the best steamer I have used. I do not have time to iron and this works so fast and with such good results that I can't get along without it. When my last one finally konked out after 3 years of lots of use, I bought a Rowena steamer at 4 times the price, thinking it would be 4 times better. It did not work as well and I remember thinking I wish I had my old HoMedics again. The Rowena's switch malfunctioned after only 3 months, so I am happily taking it back to Penney's and ordering a new HoMedics.

For a basic steamer, this is great. Its not top of the line but it has saved me so much time and money. I hate to iron and I hate ruining my clothes with an iron. This thing is great if you are in a hurry. If you are like me and can't decide what to wear, I can steam at least three outfits in 5 minutes and then decide. Plus it refreshes your clothes. Only thing, don't hang too many articles on the steamer because it will tip over. I wish the hose

If the $100 Grilled Cheese Sandwich we shared with you seemed to be a waste of money...you'll probably think this $1,000 Ice Cream Sundae is off the charts ridiculous!
New York restaurant Bagatelle introduced a $1,000 ice cream called the "Mauboussin Mega Sundae"... and it even includes jewelry.
The sundae has scoops of vanilla ice cream and Dom Perignon Rose sorbet topped with chocolate truffles, macarons, whipped cream, chocolate vodka sauce, and "gilded brownies."
It also has a sprinkling of gold leaf and it comes with a Mauboussin ring made of black steel and white gold, which is served on the side instead of buried like treasure in the fudge sauce.
The ring itself is priced at $530, which means that diners are really paying $470 for the ice cream, gold leaf, and chocolate vodka sauce.
Would you consider buying one?

This recipe came from my grandmother Rose who was a great cook. It's perfect for this time of year when all the apples are fresh and plenty at local farm markets, farm stands and at the stores.
This part pie, part cake dessert is much easier to make than a two-crust pie, although you still need to peel some apples! It also travels well.
Apple Cake
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup solid shortening (I use Crisco)
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. each ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice
1/3 cup whole milk
3 cups peeled, diced apples, any variety
1/4 cup chopped walnuts or nuts of your choice
In a large bowl, cream sugar and shortening with electric mixer until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla and mix. Add dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices) and mix on low. Slowly add milk and mix. Don't over mix. With a spoon, stir in apples and walnuts.
Pour into a greased 8" pie pan and bake in a 350 degree oven for 40-45 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in center of cake comes out clean. Serve warm or cold, with ice cream or whipped cream, if desired. Yummy!

What Our Customers Are Saying about Our Electric Water Kettle …
"A few years ago I called The Vermont Country Store with a request for a teapot/water kettle with auto shutoff. At the time you did not carry such, but it wasn't long until you wrote that you had found this pot. I immediately bought one. It is used many times a day and sad to say it has come to the point where it needs replacing. SOOOOO, I am ordering a new one today." - Alice Kirkman, Claudville, VA
"I was visiting my brother in Corona, and it just happened to be a very cold and rainy day. I wanted a hot cup of coffee, but my brother didn't have a coffeee maker. I didn't want to make a fuss over having to make my coffee in the microwave, so I said that it was alright, I'll pass on the coffee. His sister-in-law was also there, and she said, "Oh, use this kettle, it makes hot water in no time, and it is so much faster than heating water in the microvave." Well, she went on to show me how fast it got the water hot, and I was so impressed by it that I want to get one for a friend of mine who has no coffee maker in his house and I usually have to boil water on the stove in the microwave." - Lucy Meno, Norwalk, CA

Hi there, it's Cathy Victor from "Me and My Mum Quilting", and I'm pleased to be bringing you my second Moda Bake Shop tutorial. The great thing about this pattern is its versatility, you could swap out any 9"(9-patch) blocks for those that I've chosen. Also you can make two tree skirts or table toppers from each layer cake.
So grab your favorite holiday layer cake and let's get started...I am using the Blackbird Designs collection "Cinnamon Spice."
As always I love to hear from you with your comments, questions and pictures. You can find me at {Me and My Mum Quilting}
1 Cinnamon Spice Layer Cake (2700LC)
3/4 yd red fabric (2700-12)
1-1/2 yd Bella Solid (9900-60) {This includes enough for the table topper backing.}
Backing: 1 yd (2705-12)
Binding: 1/2 yd (2706-12)This is enough for both.
Decorative Buttons
For the tree skirt you need the following:
4 layer cake squares (a)
1 LC square (b)
2 LC squares (c)
2 LC squares (d)
1 LC square (g) middle square
4 LC squares (e)
4 LC squares (f)
Approx. 1/4 yd of yardage
approx 1/2 yd of yardage
Cutting Instructions
Lay out the 4 (a) green squares and cut as follows:
Cut two {2} 2" x 10" strips from the bottom of the square
From the remaining piece, cut two {2} 2 5/8" strips.
Subcut the previous 2 5/8" strips into four {4} 2 5/8" squares. Set aside the cut pieces until later; the leftover piece is not needed.
Next...from the Green square (b), cut two {2} 2 5/8" strips.....
Subcut into four {4} 2 5/8" squares. The rest of the fabric is not needed.
The Beige (c) blocks are for your hourglass blocks. From each of your two Beige (c) squares...cut from two {2} 4 1/4" squares. The rest you do not need.
From your two Beige (d) squares.....Cut from each Beige (d) square three {3} 2 5/8" strips.
Subcut into a total of 18: 2 5/8" squares (9 of each fabric. You only need 16 so 2 are scrap. You do not need the rest of the fabric.
Go ahead and grab your 4 Red (e) squares...From the Red (e) squares, cut two {2}: 2 3/8" strips.
Subcut into 8: 2 3/8" squares (for each print). You will have a total of 32 squares. (8 in 4 different patterns.) You will not need the rest of the fabric.
The Red (f) squares are for the flying geese blocks and bricks. From your 4 Red (f) squares...cut a 2"x10" strip from the bottom.
Then, from the remaining piece of each square, cut three {3} 2" x 8" strips.
There is a approx 4" x 8" piece leftover that you will not need.
Cut the bottom (2" x 10") strip and one of the 2" x 8" strip into four {4} 2" x 3 1/2" rectangles (bricks). Do this for all 4 prints for a total of 16 bricks. Set aside the remaining 2" x 8" strips until later. The rest you will not use.
Now grab the Red yardage. Cut two {2} 3 1/2" strips. Subcut into four {4} 3 1/2" x 10 5/8" rectangles and four {4} 3 1/2" x 5" rectangles. (I cut out an extra 4 for the table topper, but if you aren't making it don't bother.)
From the White yardage, cut two {2} 2" strips, one {1} 3 1/2" strip, one {1} 3 3/4" strip, and three {3} 2 3/8" strips.
Subcut the 2" strips into 9" lengths.
Subcut the 3 1/2" strip into sixteen {16} 2" x 3 1/2" bricks.
Subcut the 3 3/4" strip into four {4} 3 3/4" x 5 5/8" rectangles.
Subcut the 2 3/8" strips(3) into forty {40} 2 3/8" squares.
Grab your remaining layer cake square (g) and cut it to: 9 1/2" x 9 1/2".
Assembling the Blocks
So the first blocks to assemble are the flying geese blocks. Grab the 2" x 3 1/2" white bricks and the red bricks and strips that you cut from (f) LC squares. Also set aside the white 2" strips and the green 2" strips from (a). They will be coming up shortly.
The following pictures show how the blocks progress from beginning to completion....
You should now cut your red 2" x 8" strips into 2" squares. You need 8 squares for each block and there are 4 blocks to make this tree skirt. That makes for 32 red squares all together.
Draw a diagonal line from corner to opposite corner. This is your sew line.
Place the red square on top of the white brick, and sew along the diagonal line, cut off the corner, leaving a 1/4" seam. Press toward the red fabric. Place a matching red square on the opposite corner so that the line creates a point with the other red corner and sew. Cut off the corner, leaving a 1/4" seam and press toward the red. You now have a flying geese block that measures 2" x 3 1/2".
Sew the flying geese to the bricks so the seam crosses over the point of the flying geese block.
Press away from the flying geese block.
Next up green/white 4-patch blocks.....Grab the white and green 2" strips and sew them together into twosie strips. Press toward the greens.
Cut the twosie strip into 2" sections. Spin 1 section so that opposite colors are aligned. Matching seams, sew into 4-patch blocks. Press in either direction.
You will have a total of sixteen {16} 4-patch blocks (4 of each pattern).
Next up the hourglass blocks....Grab the 4 Gold (c) squares. They measure 4 1/4" square and we are going to cut along both diagonal lines (from corner to opposite corner; in both directions)
Lay out the 2 patterns in the configuration shown in the picture.We will be sewing down the short side of these triangles first.....
Sew them all the same way, with the same fabric on top of the opposite color on the bottom. They all go through the same direction, do this until you have 8 pairs of triangles.
Press toward the darker of the 2 triangles.
This photo shows how the block progresses from a twosie triangle...Matched up with another... Matching seams and sewing to form an hourglass block. Press either direction ...Trim off the dog ears, the block should measure 3 1/2"square.
You now have all the components needed to complete the first block...Match each pattern of red to a pattern of green and create an hourglass block as shown in the photo.
Lay out the above squares into the design shown in the photo. This will make 4 star blocks.
Sew them row by row and then press. I pressed away from my flying geese blocks.
This photo shows how they are pressed.
Go ahead and sew the rows into the final block, nesting seams and pinning if necessary. Press away from the middle row.You have now completed 4 blocks.
Grab the red 2 3/8" squares and cut diagonally once from corner to opposite corner.
This will give you 64 triangles. (16 of each pattern.)
Do the same for the white 2 3/8" squares...There are 80 triangles when you are finished.
Match up the red triangles with the beige 2 5/8 " squares that were cut earlier. You can see in the photo that my green 2 5/8" squares will be matched up with the white triangles.
Lay out the beige squares and red triangles, like the photo shows.
Make sure that when you line up the triangles you have equal amount of "dogears" on both sides. Go ahead and sew down the first side. Sew the opposite side the same way. Press the triangles toward the beige square. Trim off the dog ears and continue sewing the triangles to the remaining sides.
Press either way and trim off the dog ears. The photo shows how the block progresses.
Continue until you have completed all the red/ beige blocks.They should measure 3 1/2" square.
Repeat the process with the green squares and white triangles. This photo shows how they progress.
You now have 4 piles of red/beige blocks and 4 piles of white/green blocks. Set them aside for now, we will return to them later.
Now take the red 3 1/2" x 10 5/8" rectangles, and carefully fold them in half lengthwise and press to make a visible crease. Next, cut a diagonal line from the bottom right corner to the crease line like in the photo.Then do the other side from the bottom left corner to the crease line (point).
With the white 3 3/4" x 5 5/8" rectangles, make 2 piles of 2. Cut diagonally once from bottom right to top left for the 1st pile.And cut the opposite direction (from bottom left to top right) for the other pile, like the photo shows.
Layout the pieces as shown in the photo.
Line up the white triangle with the red triangle point showing a little past the white, as shown in the photo.Your sewing machine needle should come down exactly where the 2 fabrics line up.
This photo shows how the blocks progress. Press towards the red fabric. Place the opposite white triangle in the same manner and press toward the red fabric.Trim off the dog ears.
The block should now measure: 3 1/2" x 9 1/2"
Do this with all 4 red triangles. Set aside for now.
Next up grab the 4 red rectangles that measure: 3 3/4" x 5 5/8" and cut 2 diagonally from: top right to bottom left and,Cut 2 diagonally from: top left to bottom right.Set aside for now.
Remember these blocks? We will be assembling them into rows for the next step...Lay them out like in the photo, I put identical squares into the same block.(except for the central green/white square. it is from the extra pile of squares.) It is going to be the middle square in all 4 blocks.
Go ahead and sew them into rows.Make sure to match the points where they meet. You can pin them if you like.
This photo shows how I pressed the rows:I always pressed away from the white squares.Continue sewing all the squares into rows. BUT DO NOT sew them into larger blocks.
They are sewn together differently than normal to achieve the shape of the final tree skirt.
Next grab 1 of each pattern, the row shown in the photo....
And the red triangles we cut earlier.Lay them out like the photo shows with the flat side of the red triangles aligned with the bottom of the row of blocks.Sew them together and press toward the red triangles.
Next, grab the remaining rows of blocks....Lay them out exactly as the photo shows, making sure the fabric patterns match.Sew the rows together, making sure the bottom block is "pointing" to the other 2 rows.And that any points are aligned. Pin if they need a bit of help.Press toward the middle row.
You have now completed the other 4 blocks and are ready to assemble the tree skirt.
Grab the 4 blocks finished here and the 4 star blocks finished earlier and the Layer cake square that was trimmed down to 9 1/2" and find a space to lay them out.
Lay the assorted blocks out, like the photo shows, moving the blocks around until you like the way they look.Sew them into rows, pinning where seams and points line up.Press away from the star blocks and central square. (doing this ensures the seams will nest nicely).
Next sew the rows into the nearly finished tree skirt, and get the remaining rows ready to add as borders.
Attach the border pieces to the sides, lining up the square in a square blocks and pin in place.
Sew the borders in place and press.
Now get ready to trace the hole for the tree stand. I used a bowl for my template, you can use whatever makes the hole the size you like. Trace around the hole and straight through the middle of the tree skirt.(this bi-sects the square in a square blocks).
Quilt as desired...may I also recommend stitching around the circle you traced and down both sides of where the opening will be. This will ensure the tree skirt doesn't shift while you are binding it.
Carefully cut the traced line for the opening and around the circle.
Your tree skirt should now look like this....
Get your buttons and ribbon out.....Place your buttons on the tree skirt, to decide where you want them. With a pencil, make marks on both sides of the opening for button and loop placement.
Cut your ribbon to 3" lengths....
Sew them in place along the opening with a scant 1/4" seam that will be hidden in the binding.
I also pinned them down so they wouldn't get caught up in the binding.
Prepare your bias binding strips and proceed to sew it around the tree skirt.
You may need to stop sewing and re-position the binding when rounding corners.
This is how it looks with the binding on.
Now I just sewed it down to the backside.( just make sure that you don't sew the loops into the binding when you do this).
With the binding done, sew the buttons in the position you marked on the opposite side from the loops. You've completed the tree skirt!!!
Next up a table topper from the rest of the layer cake and fabric. It is the same pattern, just don't cut out a circle and opening. I will list the substitutions for the fabrics, but follow the cutting and assembly instructions listed at the beginning of the tutorial by the letters in ().
Table topper substitutions.....
Pinks: 4 layer cake squares (a) (by cutting 5 - 2 5/8" squares from each pink you eliminate step (b).) Leftover Red: 2 LC squares (c) hourglass blocks.
Approx 1/4 yd of yardage (4 - 3 3/4"x5 5/8" and 4 - 3 1/2"x 10 5/8" cut as per earlier instructions.)
Green: 2 LC squares (d)
Beige: 4 LC squares (e) 4 LC squares (f)
* For the whites, follow the cutting instructions below, but the assembly instructions above*
2 Identical LC squares(4- 3 3/4"x 5 5/8" rectangles)
4 LC squares (4- 2 3/8" squares from each cut once diagonally to yield 32 triangles. Some of this can be leftover from previous.)
6" yardage ( this section is for the 4-patch blocks and the flying geese units in the star block)
1 LC square for middle block (g) cut to 9.5" square
Assemble the blocks as per the instructions for the tree skirt. But don't cut the hole in the middle square or the slit for an opening. Quilt and bind as desired....
A Cinnamon Spice Tree skirt that measures approx. 33" square. Perfect for any traditional Christmas setting.
A Cinnamon Spice Table Topper to compliment your Holiday decor. It also measures approx 33" .
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and that you will make one for yourself and maybe some loved ones too. Have a happy and healthy holiday season.
Season's Greetings!

It was a somber scene as one by one, a convoy of LA County
Coroner's vans and trucks drove slowly out of Santa Monica Airport.
Inside the vans, the remains of four people that had been
aboard the Cessna that crashed here Sunday evening.
Four lives lost…just like that.
And then there were the pets. Two cats and one large dog,
the assistant coroner told me. Their remains also found on the plane. Obviously
they were loved…so much so, they got to go away to Idaho too. Or maybe they lived in Idaho
and were coming here to visit.
Seven lives lost…just like that.
Officially, the coroner has not released any names yet but
in a statement on their website, Morley Builders of Santa Monica say it was
their CEO Mark Benjamin and his son Lucas, a Senior Project Engineer at the
firm, who were two of the victims. The plane belonged to Benjamin.
October 1, 2013
We are heartbroken at the loss of Mark Benjamin and his son
Lucas in a tragic accident. Mark has been our President and CEO since 1981 and
Luke was a Senior Project Engineer. We are proud to be associated with the
Company that Mark's family founded. He had a profound influence on each of our
employees, the Southern California landscape, our local community, and the
construction industry. We are committed to building on his legacy.
Issued by Charles Muttillo, Vice President
And I am sure that while we don't know their names yet, the
families and friends of the two women also aboard must know by now too. So sad.
Years ago, I lost a very dear friend in a similar crash.
Edison was the longtime director of my talk show on the Telemundo Network and I
was blessed to also call him my "amigo".
Edison was aboard a Cessna when it crashed and subsequently
exploded, killing him and his girlfriend, their dog and the pilot. Another
friend, one of my cameramen, who had been aboard was thrown from the plane
moments before the explosion and thanks to that, survived.
One Friday Edison was here; the next day he wasn't. We
were all devastated.
And try as hard as I did, I couldn't help but imagine the
horror they lived thru those last moments.
It was so hard losing a friend; I can't even imagine the
pain of losing a family member so as that slow-moving procession passed by I
said a silent prayer for all of them….all seven.
And one for Edison too.

Mobile Apps
You can learn all about the latest features in Creative Cloud on the overview page. To find out what's in the latest version of each CC desktop app, check out each product's page on Adobe.com.
No, the desktop applications in Creative Cloud, such as Photoshop and Illustrator, are installed directly on your computer, so you don't need an ongoing Internet connection to use them.
An Internet connection is required the first time you install and license your apps, but you can use the apps in offline mode with a valid software license. The desktop apps will attempt to validate your software licenses every 30 days.
Annual members can use the apps for up to 99 days in offline mode. Month-to-month members can use the software for up to 30 days in offline mode.
The applications are installed and run on your desktop, just like any other desktop application. The first time you attempt to download any of the individual creative apps, you will automatically download Creative Cloud for your desktop, which you will use to access, download, and update any of the individual creative applications.
Yes, files created by Creative Cloud apps can be shared like any other file through email, FTP, and so on.
In addition, Creative Cloud sharing features let you share files with people who aren't members of Creative Cloud by allowing them to view the files in a browser. Viewers can turn layers on and off, see relevant metadata, comment, and even download files for editing.
You manage file sharing settings on your Creative Cloud Files page.
No, you can continue using your current version of the product as long as you have an active membership. You have flexibility on when and if you install a new release.
Yes, your existing Creative Suite product installation will not be affected by installing the CC product applications. For example, you can install and use both perpetually licensed Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop CC on the same computer.

Currently, the CS6 and CC releases are archived and available. In some cases, more than one CC version of an app is archived and available.
Many of the Creative Cloud desktop applications provide the ability to export files to the Creative Suite 6 version of that same application. CS6 products are available via a perpetual software license on Adobe.com. Adobe plans to continue to support the ability to export to CS6 in the applications that have that capability now.

The following applications support the ability to export to the CS6 version of the application:

There are no restrictions on the file types you can store in Creative Cloud.
There are no restrictions on the file types you can share from Creative Cloud.
Your Creative Cloud files are stored on your desktop as well as on the Creative Cloud servers. If you cancel or downgrade your paid membership, you will still have access to all of the files in the Creative Cloud folder on your computer and via the Creative Cloud website.
Your account will be downgraded to a free membership, which includes 2GB of storage. If you're using more than 2GB of storage, you will not be able to upload any new files to the cloud until the amount of online space used in your account drops below your allotted amount.
If you are over your storage limit, you have 90 days to reduce your online usage or you may lose access to some or all of your files saved on the Creative Cloud servers.
No, you can save your files wherever you choose (on your local hard drive, mounted drives, thumb drives, and so on). However, your Creative Cloud membership comes with cloud storage that you can choose to take advantage of for backups, link sharing, folder collaboration, and more. The desktop application makes it easy to synchronize your local files with your Creative Cloud storage. So if you choose to sync your files to Creative Cloud, you'll still retain a local copy of your files. Learn more ›
A free Creative Cloud membership provides access to file syncing and sharing features, 2GB of storage space, free levels of services, and access to 30-day free trials of desktop applications available through Creative Cloud.

Physical Therapy
Topic Overview
What is physical therapy?
Physical therapy is a type of treatment you may need when health problems make it hard to move around and do everyday tasks. It helps you move better and may relieve pain. It also helps improve or restore your physical function and your fitness level.
The goal of physical therapy is to make daily tasks and activities easier. For example, it may help with walking, going up stairs, or getting in and out of bed.
Physical therapy can help with recovery after some surgeries. Your doctor may suggest physical therapy for injuries or long-term health problems such as:

You may get physical therapy at:
What does a physical therapist do?
Your physical therapist will examine you and make a treatment plan. Depending on your health problem, your therapist will help you with flexibility, strength, endurance, coordination, and/or balance.
First, your therapist will try to reduce your pain and swelling. Then he or she will probably work to increase your flexibility, strength, and endurance.
Physical therapy almost always includes exercise. It can include stretching, core exercises, weight lifting, and walking. Your physical therapist may teach you an exercise program so you can do it at home.
Your physical therapist also may use manual therapy, education, and techniques such as heat, cold, water, ultrasound, and electrical stimulation.
Treatment may cause mild soreness or swelling. This is normal, but talk to your physical therapist if it bothers you.
What should you look for in a physical therapist?
You'll want a therapist who has experience with your health problem. Some physical therapist are board-certified in areas such as orthopedics, sports, geriatrics, and neurology and may offer more specialized care. Physical therapists can specialize in:
Here are some questions to think about when choosing a physical therapist:

Discussion in 'Everton Forum' started by D410, Dec 11, 2012.
I kid you not
Good luck to him.
What is it like , Swapsy`s
seems a half decent fella good luck to him if he goes, the traitor
Was a bit of a bell but he was spot on about Elstone wasn't he.
NEA tbh
Turncoat. At least he was honest in his assessment of the running of EFC
Not a fan of him to be honest, the way he answers his emails is a disgrace and applying for a job across the park shows what a man he is, Kenwright put alot of faith and support his way. Hope he get the job.
I have no regard for him whatsoever, but he is a formidable media operator. Cleaning up after our club's amateur efforts over the years meant he had to be. If he gets the LFC job, it'll be funny seeing how he fences with the Kop Jihadists when the next Yanks Out campaign begins.
He took some severe stick in some quarters, some deserved & some harsh imo. He'd always answer an e-mail in fairness(sometimes far too frankly given his position), However, I lost respect for him when I heard he'd been 'outed' as a poster on kipper (& a ****e one at that apparently). He must have spent his payoff then & is looking for work, he'll have his hands full with the Cult.
Not bothered that he would go to them, gotta make a living after all.
Out of interest, would people on here take a job with them if it was good money/you were desperate etc? My heart says no but my head says i'd be daft to turn any job down in the current climate.
i'd take a job as a player, wait for the perfect opportunity to score an own goal. never in a million years in another capacity though. You may have to wear clothing with their badge on, fook that for laughs
Definitely. Me working in the back office isn't going to make them win the league. A job is a job !
Our current guy, Tyrell, is ex-Liverpool. No biggie.
Good luck to Ross though. Compared to Tyrell he's some sort of PR mastermind.
The game is the game
He cleaned up with that pay of at everton and can do again when as already said , there fans across the park decide its time for this lot of yanks to be ran out of town (Wont be long) , be interesting to see how he copes with that one, Can see it now "Just a load of know nothin Drunken Norwegians"
My 7 year old as just been asked to go up with there academy, I'm sending him there but he doesn't really want to go.
He played at Finch Farm the other week so he's got his heart set on us now although he is a proper blue and a season ticket holder as well so that only to be expected.
If he does go to the RS then make sure he wears the full Everton kit and is washed in holy water when he leaves there just to be safe. Also mention it to EFC that he has been asked to go to the RS it should sway EFC to keep him on longer.
would be a perfect fit at that lot the ****
Hope he gets it, having an axe to grind and scoring brownie points with the swamp people might lead him to reveal detail on the inner sanctum of Kenwright and co.
What a read that would be.

Launched in 2008, "Play Baseball Detroit" is a comprehensive urban youth baseball outreach program dedicated to expanding and strengthening youth baseball and softball programs in the greater Detroit community. The multi- faceted program includes equipment collections, school rallies, youth clinics and a competitive tournament to encourage and develop our region's young athletes into the baseball stars of tomorrow.
Each year the Detroit Tigers celebrate the Play Baseball Detroit Program with a special day at the ballpark featuring an on-field ceremony with youth ballplayers from Play Baseball Detroit programs, including Tiny Tigers, Baseball FUNdamentals, Detroit Tigers Hometown Championship, Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities and Team Tigers. The 2013 ceremony featured the 2013 Team Tigers Coach of the Year, Darryl Smith of the Incredible Baseball Academy, and the 2013 Champions Award Winner, Sam Crowder of the Barney McCosky Baseball League. The Team Tigers Coach of the Year award recognizes a Team Tigers Coach for their dedication and commitment to youth baseball or softball. The Champions Award recognizes an individual for their longstanding dedication and profound impact on the game of baseball/softball. Both coaches received a $1,000 donation presented by Detroit Tigers outfielder Torii Hunter to honor their impressive work and commitment to the game of baseball.
Thousands of young t-ball, baseball and softball players in the metro Detroit area participate in 'Team Tigers', a free online registration and rewards program that helps strengthen and expand baseball and softball programs in our area.
Join 'Team Tigers' and your baseball or softball team will receive special 'Team Tigers' wristbands, a resource manual provided by the Baseball Tomorrow Fund, and the opportunity to apply for youth baseball/softball equipment, Major League coaching instruction, and complimentary Tigers tickets!
The youngest members of Play Baseball Detroit are the Tiny Tigers. 'Tiny Tigers' is a tee ball and junior baseball program in partnership with the Think Detroit PAL for children ages 4-8. Since its inception in 2008 nearly 3,000 children have enrolled in the Tiny Tigers program.
At a time when health studies indicate that physical activity among young children is on the decline, the Detroit Tigers are working to put children on the path to a healthy future by promoting the game of baseball and encouraging students to join a Detroit area summer baseball/softball program.
Baseball FUNdamentals is the educational arm of "Play Baseball Detroit" that combines interactive Middle School Rallies, School Skills Clinics, and Community Clinics designed to create excitement and teach the fundamentals of the game.
2013 marked the 19th year of the Detroit Tigers Hometown Championship (formally known as the Hometown World Series). The Detroit Tigers Hometown Championship is a four day baseball and softball tournament that serves nearly 1,000 children ages 8-19. The Championship is funded by the Detroit Tigers Foundation in partnership with the Youth Development Commission, and the City of Detroit Parks & Recreation Department.
The 2013 Championship included an Opening Ceremony, complete with Boy Scouts of America Color Guard, Detroit Renaissance High School Drumline and a ceremonial first pitch thrown out by City of Detroit Mayor Dave Bing. In addition, the Championship included a Community Fun Day complete with face painting, bounce houses, arts, crafts, and train rides.
2013 Winners of the Detroit Tigers Hometown Championship included:
Founded in 2002, Willie Horton's Batting for Kids is a youth baseball clinic and skills competition that focuses on enhancing the lives of children by improving their self-esteem and increasing their personal commitment to achievement. Held at Comerica Park for children 5-15, Willie Horton's Batting For Kids gives children the opportunity to showcase their talent by running bases, hitting in the underground batting cages and throwing baseballs for strikes. In addition, children receive baseball tips on the field where major leaguers play. Willie Horton's Batting For Kids is hosted in partnership with Don Bosco Hall, a private non-profit agency that provides supportive human services to enhance the quality of life for children and their families residing in the Metro Detroit-Wayne County Community.
On Saturday, April 6 the Cass Tech High School and Holland High School baseball and softball team's received $10,000 to support their programs thanks to Comerica Bank.
The students were honored in a special pre-game, on-field ceremony featuring Tigers outfielder, Andy Dirks, and one coach from each team threw out a ceremonial first pitch, before sixty representatives of the baseball and softball programs enjoyed a Tigers game.
The Comerica Bank Grand Slam Grant program was created in 2011 to help public high schools in Michigan create, expand or improve a baseball or softball program. Past winners include Kalamazoo Central High School, Lincoln Park High School and Detroit Renaissance High School.
Everyone was all smiles at the 2013 Detroit Tigers Baseball Fantasy Camp for Kids, a camp designed to provide youth with special needs the opportunity to learn and play the game of baseball with the Detroit Tigers. Detroit Tigers infielder Miguel Cabrera, pitcher Phil Coke, Conditioning Coach Javair Gillett and bullpen catcher Scott Pickens worked with fifty players from the Miracle League of Michigan to improve their baseball skills and share their love for the game. The event was sponsored by Jeremy Flug, Founder of Baseball Fantasy Camp for Kids and the Miracle League of Michigan.

Youth ballplayers from Detroit and the surrounding communities were invited to Comerica Park for a day of fun for P.L.A.Y Campaign, a program of the Professional Baseball Athletic Trainers Society, the Taylor Hooton Foundation and the Henry Schein Cares Foundation. The program promotes healthy living by teaching children the importance of staying fit, being active and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Detroit Tigers Head Athletic Trainer Kevin Rand and his staff hosted nearly 100 children during the on-field clinic where youth rotated to different stations each featuring a lesson related to healthy living. Participants learned agility drills and stretching techniques, discussed the dangers of performance enhancing drugs with Brian Purdy of the Taylor Hooton Foundation and received wellness tips from the Henry Schein Cares Foundation.

Made in Oakland: How one city turned into an art and maker mecca
I felt like I had walked into a scene out of Mad Max. Inside a fenced-in lot sat a broken-down beige Nissan hatchback. The ground was covered with a blanket of gravel that kicked up with every step. Shipping containers surrounded me on all sides and a row of retired buses formed a fortress of derelict industry. I looked up. On top of every bus was a torrent of activity, with people toiling away with hammers and saws and welding torches and power grinders.
After just staring for a bit, I walked over to one of the buses and thumped my fist against it. The rain of sparks pouring from above me stopped, and a shirtless man wearing a welding mask and bandoleer across his chest peered over the edge of the bus. I shouted, "Hey, this is NIMBY, right?"
The man popped up his mask and a white smile peered out just above his soot-covered neck. He shouted back: "Hell yeah, this is NIMBY!"Read more »

Sofa slip cover
Hi received my slipcover in cream and it was better than I expected! We do have over sized furniture and it fit PERFECT! I could not say enough good words about this slip cover. It said cream, but I was hoping for more whitish and it was. The fabric is comfortable and my furniture looks brand new. I had put this on before my husband came home and he asked what I had done with the old couch it looked so good. I recommend this to everyone!

At first glance, William Senne is a success story. At 28, he has his own real estate business in Cambridge that employs 20 people. He hopes to open a second office in Wayland, where he was senior class co-president at Wayland High, a linebacker on the football team, and a wrestler. He recently earned a bachelor's degree in economics from the Woods College of Advancing Studies at Boston College.
But his loafers tell another story. There are almost always holes in his shoes, because he walks everywhere: the mile to his Central Square office and back home every day, to meet clients, to show houses, to see friends. "Wet socks are usually the point where I order a new pair from Zappos," says Senne.

ACT CEO Jon Whitmore Will Retire in 2015August 15 2014ACT Chief Executive Officer Jon Whitmore has announced that he will retire next year after five years with the organization. His official retirement date will be August 31, 2015, which is the end of ACT's fiscal year.
Requiring More Math and Science Courses Falls Short in Improving College and Career ReadinessAugust 4 2014Although several states have mandated more advanced coursework for high school students, the stricter graduation guidelines alone may not be enough to prepare students for college and careers, according to a report released by ACT today.
Poor Fit Between Interests and Intended College Majors Does Not Improve for Many Students as They Progress to CollegeJuly 24 2014A new report from ACT suggests the fit between high school students' interests and their intended college majors often does not improve—and sometimes gets worse—after they enter college and actually declare a major. The findings point to a need for better advising on the selection of a college major in both high school and college.
Students from Low-Income Families Have High College Aspirations, Report FindsJuly 17 2014Nearly all ACT-tested students from low-income families in the United States aspire to go to college—at an even higher rate than students overall—but many lack the academic preparation to reach this goal, according to new report released today by ACT and the National Council for Community and Education Partnerships (NCCEP).

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant and his wife, Melissa, have teamed up with the March of Dimes on a mission that's become intensely personal. Bryant discovered his football talent back in grade school in Texas, but finding his mission took longer. that came when Melissa gave birth to Tre six weeks early in 2006."He was born weighing only 3 pounds, 10 ounces. Tiny little thing, Matt could hold him like a football in his hand," Melissa said.Bryant was playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the time, and Tre's hospital was right across the street from team's training facility."During practice, there's a little bit of time in there where guys can eat lunch and stuff, I would walk across the street and go feed him," Bryant said. That's when Bryant saw the world of the neonatal intensive care unit filled with babies -- some of them critically ill -- born too soon."And seeing your child laying there, in the incubator, with the tubes coming out of their nose and their little arms and hands, that's tough -- to see those little boys and girls fighting," Matt Bryant said. It was there that the Bryants found March of Dimes."At that moment, we really just knew this was going to be our mission, little did we know what our future entailed," Melissa Bryant said. "In 2008, we had another son, Tryson, that passed away of SIDS, at three and a half months old."In their loss, Melissa and Matt were supported by March of Dimes and hundreds of other parents."A lot of families who had lost children," Melissa Bryant said. "There was a lot of public outreach to us as parents. Not just as Matt Bryant, the football player, but as a mom and dad who had lost a three and a half month old baby."When Matt joined the Falcons, he and Melissa teamed up with the Georgia chapter of March of Dimes. Since then they've had twins, also born premature."When we go and speak at March of Dimes events, or we can talk to another family who has either had a premature baby, or has lost a child, I am not the person to say, 'I can't imagine,' because I was that person," Melissa Bryant said. Matt Bryant says he's living his dream every Sunday. That's what he wants for all of the babies."We don't know what they want to be, the little boys and little girls, but through March of Dimes, and helping these kids, we're going to give them a good chance to be whatever it is they want to be," Matt said.Every year, about half a million American babies are born pre-term. Six of Melissa Bryant's seven children were born early.The Bryants and March of Dimes will try to spread the word that healthy babies are worth the wait, encouraging women not to schedule elective early deliveries.
