I had to work non-stop for months, with hardly any break at all, in order to meet the deadlines. .Frank Scott: Any other things you would like to cover that have not been covered in these questions?. Angélique Govy : This schematised design of the solar system use data from NASA's JPL for accurate planets' placement. The four dimensions (x, y, z, t) are used to represent a particular location in time and space. x, y, z are set to the heliocentric view that I've found the most visually pleasing. The orbital paths are illustrated in gradient lines, illustrating the counterclockwise direction of all the planets. Their sizes as well as the distances between them are schematised in order to make all the orbits and objects visibles at this scale. .

Former Orange County commissioner released from prison
Mildred Fernandez serves sentence on corruption charge
ORLANDO, Fla. – Former Orange County Commissioner Mildred Fernandez is a free woman.
Fernandez, a prominent politician turned prisoner, was released from a Tampa-area prison Monday after being convicted on corruption charges.
Fernandez stunned Central Florida when she was caught on camera in an undercover video taking a bribe.
Now, Local 6 is learning what life was like locked up for more than a year and a half, and what is next for her when she is released.
"I lost my job, I have lost all my retirement savings and, most important, I lost my place in the community," said Fernandez in 2012.
"What she's going to do with the rest of her life is still in question," said her attorney, Anthony Suarez.
When asked if politics were in her future, Suarez responded, "Well, no, it will not be politics, definitely not."
The downfall for Fernandez came when she was caught taking bribes at her campaign headquarters during her mayoral run. She served time, first at a maximum security prison, and for the past year at a work-release center.
"She became sort of like a mom at the jail where people were coming to her for advice, like how to straighten up their lives," said Suarez.
Suarez says Fernandez, however, is still very bitter, and even points to the most recent texting scandal involving some current Orange County commissioners who had to pay fines for breaking an open records law.
"I think she wants to say to the people that whatever mistakes she made, she never made with any criminal intent. Of course, she wants to get back into life," said Suarez.
Fernandez will now be on probation.
Suarez says Fernandez will most likely live in Tampa with family and hinted at a possible book with letters she's been writing in jail.

Media chasing Boston images, information in massive manhunt
Residents of the Boston metro area got a robocall from authorities Friday morning, telling them to stay inside during the massive manhunt in progress in the aftermath of the Boston marathon bombings.
TV issued the robocall to the rest of us.
Television and social media spread images of an occupied war zone, in Watertown, Mass. Urgent commentary, dramatic graphics and shots of military personnel and equipment filled the screen.
Media analysts reached for metaphors from popular culture to describe the scene. Not a few Twitter comments noted the similarity to scenes from TV dramas "Homeland" and "24."
The city looked like "The Day the Earth Stood Still," said NBC News' Pete Williams.
Police stood with weapons drawn, reporters were ordered to the ground, the streets of one of America's most vital cities were under seige as a teenaged suspect held the world's attention.
Overnight in the midst of the violence -- "the sound that can only be described as combat in the city of Boston," said CBS' Scott Pelley -- and as the manhunt unfolded, the TV cable and broadcast networks operated on a several-second delay, in order to enable editors to catch disturbing images before they could be widely disseminated.
After the media fumble earlier this week, network personnel were measured in reporting the breaking news.
Not that speculation wasn't rampant: the loophole for correspondents and anchors is to observe that what they are saying is unconfirmed, speculative, fluid. And then to say it anyway.
Guessing about the announced planned explosion, contributor Clint Van Zandt on MSNBC said, "They may have a residence that they may think is boobytrapped...it may be that law enforcement has made a decision that entry is too risky...there may be a reason to blow that door..." and so on.
"We're on a hair-trigger police response at least in terms of information sharing," said CBS' Homeland Security correspondent Bob Orr.
The hair-trigger response was equally evident on social media. Boston law enforcement authorities repeatedly asked for discretion from Tweeters and others, pleading that the public not share information from the police scanner.
Experts in international relations were quickly drawn into the coverage as the Chechen ties pointed to a larger intelligence investigation. Peter Baker, New York Times White House correspondent, gave a short course in Chechen politics and history on MSNBC.
Others offered predictions based on past experience. "Slowing it down is what you do when you're going to negotiate with somebody," said Richard Esposito of NBC News.
The scene may have slowed down momentarily for the police, but the media chase was on to unearth every scrap of information, Instagram posting and Tweet linked to the suspects.
While Richard Enberg explained Islamic jihadism in Chechnya and Michael Isikoff talked about the "nightmare scenario" of "radicalized young men," both on MSNBC, CNN theorized about the suspect's Tweet about Claritin.
Clearly, the pressures of live, round-the-clock coverage provided plenty of boobytraps for the media as well.

Selmer Alto Saxophone Case
This is a lightweight Selmer Alto Saxophone Case from Selmer USA

Selmer Alto Saxophone Case
This is a lightweight Conn-Selmer Alto Saxophone Case from Selmer USA. Special purchase and comes in at a special price of £50.
This model is discontinued so when they've gone they've gone.
We do keep in stock a good choice of other alto sax cases at competitive prices.
The story of the Selmer Company dates back to the 1800's with brothers Alexandre and Henri Selmer's graduation from the Conservatoire de Paris. In 1885, Henri began making reeds, mouthpieces, and clarinets in Paris. Alexandre Selmer moved to the United States performing as the principal clarinetist for the Boston Symphony. The Selmer clarinets grew quite a following and in 1904, even received a gold medal at the World's Fair in St Louis.
In 1909, Alexandre moved to New York City as the principal clarinetist for the New York Philharmonic. Alongside his performances, he opened a Selmer retail store in downtown New York with teaching and repair facilities. George Bundy began working in the store under the guidance of Alexandre Selmer.
In 1911, Alexandre returned to Paris to assist the family business, leaving his US interests in the hands of George Bundy. Bundy expanded the business to incorporate selling and distributing instruments from other companies such as Vincent Bach, Martin, Ludwig, and Musser.
In 1920, Bundy moved into the area of flute manufacturing. Hiring George Haynes, he began operating in Boston under the names "Original Haynes" and "Master Flute". In the early 1920's, Bundy moved his operations to Elkhart, Indiana in search of a stronger labor pool. With production by C.G. Conn in Elkhart, it was known as the "Band Instrument City of the World." In the late 1920's in response to growing demand for the flutes, Bundy brought a young flute craftsman, Kurt Gemeinhardt from Germany to work for him.
In the late 1920's Bundy purchased the American business from the Selmer brothers, while maintaining the exclusive distributorship of Henri Selmer Paris products in the US. In 1948, Selmer produced the first successfully molded plastic clarinet called the Bundy Resonite 1400. The clarinet was modeled after the famous Selmer Paris BT clarinet used by notable artists like Benny Goodman. The clarinet established a reputation for affordability and high quality and by 1978, sold over one million units.
The Selmer Company continued to grow acquiring other legendary brands and makers such as Vincent Bach, Buescher, Glaesel, Ludwig, Musser, Emerson, and William Lewis & Son.

Menhaden Chanteymen
by Kelly Kress, 2006
Additional research provided by Margaret Foote.
The Menhaden Chanteymen are a group of retired African American fishermen who previously worked off the coast near Beaufort. The group, during their working years, used singing to synchronize the pulling of their nets of menhaden, or shad. A leader sang out the first line of the song alone, to be answered with another line sung in harmony by the rest of the crew. The songs derived from many sources, including hymns and gospel songs, blues, and barbershop quartet songs, and they were often improvised.
In 1988 folklorists Michael and Deborah Luster, hired by the North Carolina Arts Council to survey the folk culture of Carteret County, arranged a gathering of about a dozen retired coastal fishermen. Beaufort blues singer and guitarist Richard "Big Boy" Henry, who worked for a time as a menhaden fisherman, helped the Lusters organize the event. Although they had not sung together in more than 30 years, the men recollected their songs almost effortlessly when they began to pantomime the action of working the net.
That year the ex-fishermen performed at a public event sponsored by the North Carolina Maritime Museum in Beaufort. Since then the group, officially named the Menhaden Chanteymen, has performed for the North Carolina General Assembly and the National Council on the Arts. They have also appeared at New York City's Carnegie Hall and on national television and radio. In 1990 the Menhaden Chanteymen recorded a collection of maritime work songs, Won't You Help Me to Raise 'Em: Authentic Net Hauling Songs from an African-American Fishery, for Global Village Music.

About five weeks before they began filming "Jem and the Holograms" in Los Angeles, producers of the movie took an unusual step by Hollywood standards.
They announced plans to revive the 1980s cult TV series in a video to their fans posted on the social media website Tumblr. But the producers weren't on the video asking for financial contributions from a crowd-funding site.
Instead, director Jon M. Chu urged fans to contribute to the creative process by pitching their own ideas for the script. They even urged people to audition for acting, singing and dancing parts in the film, which follows the adventures of pop star Jem and her bandmates.
"Within four hours of the posting, we got 1,000 submissions," said Jason Blum, one of the film's producers, who also appears on the video. "We got a huge response."
Blum, Chu and talent manager and music industry executive Scooter Braun have partnered with Hasbro Studios to bring the popular 1980s animated TV series to the big screen.
"Jem and the Holograms" marks the latest Hollywood venture for toy and board game giant Hasbro Inc., based in Pawtucket, R.I.
Hasbro Studios, the Los Angeles-based entertainment division of Hasbro, has built a lucrative TV and film business, licensing and developing its toy brands for the popular "Transformer" movies. The company also does the same with Paramount's upcoming "G.I. Joe 3," Universal's "Ouija" and Sony's "Candy Land."
Production on "Jem and the Holograms" wrapped last week after filming 25 days in Los Angeles at various locations, including the Santa Monica Pier and Los Angeles Center Studios.
The film, which stars Molly Ringwald, Juliette Lewis and Aubrey Peeples, will be distributed by Universal Pictures, which is co-financing the project with Hasbro. No release date has been set.
"Jem and the Holograms" was a top-rated animation television series with an associated line of dolls when it ran in syndication from 1985 to 1988. Part of the show's appeal to the MTV generation was its novel use of music videos and songs in each episode.
The series became a hit in multiple countries and was later released on DVD. More recently, the series aired on the Hub Network.
The big-screen revival of the TV series aims to be a modern take on the mysterious pop star Jem, and follows the band through Los Angeles on a musical adventure.
"Jem" is an unconventional choice for Blum, who is better known for producing low-budget horror flicks such as "Paranormal Activity," "Insidious" and "The Purge."
"What we're looking for is low-budget, high-concept movies and nine times out of 10 it's horror, but every so often something else fits, and this is one of those movies," said Blum, founder of Blumhouse Productions.
He said Jem's appeal remains strong around the world, including in France.
"We have buyers from every territory asking us about this movie," he said. "Jem really permeated the culture in a great way and had that female empowerment aspect to it."
As part of the process, fans were encouraged to send in their ideas and post two-minute audition videos demonstrating their acting, singing and dancing skills.
"We want to invite you into our process and help us make our next movie from writing music to designing costumes to even casting," Chu says in the Tumblr video. "It's sort of like Kickstarter, but rather than asking for money we're asking for your creativity."
At least one fan landed a speaking part and several became extras as a result of the auditions, Blum said.
Unlike most of his peers, Blum says he shoots most of his movies locally on shoestring budgets. His films typically cost less than $5 million to make.
"We just find shooting movies in L.A. we have access to much, much better talent on all sides of the camera than in tax-incentive states that are very busy with very expensive movies," he said.

Split second accuracy: IWC Schaffhausen Ingenieur Double Chronograph Titanium
IWC Schaffhausen have just launched a new rattrapante chronograph, the Ingenieur Double Chronograph Titanium - a split-seconds chronograph which enables the wearer to simultaneously measure two timed events.
The case of the new Ingenieur is made of titanium which is light, durable, has ultra low conductivity and will not cause any skin allergies. The case measures 45 mm in diameter and is 16 mm thick. Black DLC coated screws secure the bezel to the case while the pushers and crown are coated in vulcanised black rubber.
Inside the titanium case beats the trusted 79230 calibre with 29 jewels creating a superb self-winding mechanical movement with a 44 hour power reserve.
To help distinguish the displays, blue was used for the first time, which suits the timepiece perfectly. The subdials for hours, minutes and the small (hacking) seconds are recessed into the dial, while the luminescent material in the interstices of the rhodium-plated hands appears black. The design of the new Ingenieur takes cues from the likes of Audemars Piguet and Hublot Big Bang.
Split-seconds-hand mechanism
A split-seconds-hand or double chronograph means there is a technical extension to the chronograph mechanism, allowing measurement of two different times in a single one-minute period. Put simply, if the chronograph is switched on by one push of the button, two central stopwatch hands start moving.
As both hands are exactly superimposed, the second chronograph hand is not immediately visible. This retains the option of a repeat time measurement in a one-minute period. By pressing the third push-button at "10 o'clock" with the chronograph switched on, the chronograph hand on top stays still, while the bottom one runs on until held by pressing the ordinary start/stop button at "2 o'clock". This method allows measurement of two different short periods of time.

UH Manoa School of Law professor receives Fulbright scholarshipUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Carol Mon Lee, (808) 956-8636
William S. Richardson School of Law
HONOLULU — Danielle Conway-Jones, professor of law and director of the Hawaiʻi Procurement Institute at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa's William S. Richardson School of Law has been awarded the 2006-2007 Fulbright Senior Scholar Award to lecture and conduct research at La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia.
Conway-Jones will teach U.S. Intellectual Property Law in the Graduate Law Program at La Trobe. In addition, she will conduct research on the recognition and protection of indigenous peoples' traditional knowledge, genetic resources, and cultural heritage for the purpose of comparison to regimes in the United States and in the state of Hawaiʻi.
Conway-Jones was the 2003 Outstanding Professor of Law at the School of Law and a recipient of a 2004 Regents' Medal for Excellence in Teaching. She is also a United States Army Reserve Officer assigned as a professor of law at the Judge Advocate General's Legal Center & School on the campus of the University of Virginia. Conway-Jones is one of approximately 800 U.S. faculty and professionals who will travel abroad to some 140 countries for the 2006-2007 academic year through the Fulbright Scholar Program. Established in 1946 under legislation introduced by the late Senator J. William Fulbright of Arkansas, the program's purpose is to build mutual understanding between the people of the United States and other countries.
Conway-Jones joins four of her colleagues as Fulbright Award recipients. Professor Alison Conner was a 2004 Distinguished Fulbright Professor of Law at Tsinghua University in Beijing, China, and a 1983-1984 Fulbright Professor of Law at Nanjing University in Nanjing, China. Professor Ronald Brown was a 2005-2006 Distinguished Fulbright Professor of Law at Peking University and at Tsinghua University, both in Beijing, China. Professor Denise Antolini was a 2003-2004 Distinguished Fulbright Chair in Environmental Studies at the Polytechnic Institute in Turin, Italy. Professor Williamson Chang was a 1989 Senior Scholar researching Indigenous Rights and Mining Companies at the University of Western Australia at Perth. It is a distinct achievement for the School of Law that five of its 20 faculty members have been selected as Fulbright Scholars.
The Fulbright Program, America's flagship international educational exchange activity, is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. Over its 60 years of existence, thousands of U.S. faculty and professionals have studied, taught or done research abroad, and thousands of their counterparts from other countries have engaged in similar activities in the United States. They are among more than 250,000 American and foreign university students, K-12 teachers, and university faculty and professionals who have participated in one of the several Fulbright exchange programs.
Recipients of Fulbright Scholar awards are selected on the basis of academic or professional achievement and because they have demonstrated extraordinary leadership potential in their fields. Among thousands of prominent Fulbright Scholar alumni are Milton Friedman, Nobel Prize-winning economist; Alan Leshner, CEO of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS); Rita Dove, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet; and Craig Barrett, CEO of Intel Corporation.

Ngügï wa Thiong'o
Ngugi wa Thiong'o
Ngugi wa Thiong'o (ĕngōō´gē wä tē-ŏng´gō) or James Ngugi, 1938–, Kenyan writer, acclaimed as East Africa's foremost novelist. He studied at universities in Uganda and England. His first novel, Weep Not, Child (1964) and his second, A Grain of Wheat (1967), are accounts of the Mau Mau rebellion. Ngugi is particularly concerned with preserving native African languages, and in 1977 he wrote (with Ngugi wa Mirii) and directed a play, Ngaahika Ndeenda (tr. I Will Marry When I Want, 1982), in Kikuyu. The production was so popular among Kikuyu farmers and workers that the government, fearing the play would encourage political dissent, banned it. Arrested and detained (1978–79) for his novel Petals of Blood, Ngugi wrote about his prison experience in Detained: A Writer's Prison Diary (1981). After his release, he continued to write in Kikuyu and English. In 1982 he went into self-imposed exile in London, later settling in the United States, where he now is a professor at the Univ. of California, Irvine. A triumphant trip home in 2004 was cut short when he and his wife were brutally attacked in Nairobi; they soon returned to the United States.
Ngugi's literary targets have included governmental corruption, socioeconomic exploitation, and religious hypocrisy. Some of his writings, such as the novels Petals of Blood (1977), his last novel in English; Caitaani mutharaba-ini (1980; tr. Devil on the Cross, 1982), his first novel in Kikuyu, written while he was in prison; and Matigari (1986, tr. 1990), are still politically controversial. Ngugi's lengthy novel Murogi wa Kagogo (2004, tr. Wizard of the Crow, 2006) is a surreal, allegorical, and satirical fantasia of corruption, venality, and shape-shifting magic in a fictional postcolonial country resembling his homeland—and other 20th-century African nations. His nonfiction works include Barrel of a Pen (1983), Decolonising the Mind (1986), Moving the Centre (1992), and Penpoints, Gunpoints, and Dreams (1998). He also has written children's books.
See his memoirs, Dreams in Times of War (2010) and In the House of the Interpreter (2012); studies by C. B. Robson (1979), G. D. Killam (1980; as ed., 1984), D. Cook and M.

Earth from Space: Montreux, Switzerland
Montreux, the Swiss Riviera town located on the eastern shore of the crescent-shaped Lake Geneva, is highlighted in this satellite image.
Surrounded by the Swiss Alps, vineyards, leafy promenades, palm trees and lakes, the beauty of Montreux has long served as an inspiration for writers, performers and musicians, with Lord Byron, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Tchaikovsky, Stravinsky, Victor Hugo, Charles Dickens, Ernest Hemingway, Charlie Chaplin and British rock band Queen singer Freddie Mercury all writing, composing or living in the lakeside hideaway.
Statues of Chaplin and Mercury have been erected in Place du Marche, the town's main square, facing Lake Geneva, as a tribute to the men. Mercury, who died in 1991, resurrected interest in the town for a generation of music lovers with his phrase: "If you want peace for your soul, go to Montreux."
The town's spectacular views will serve as the scenic backdrop for more than 900 scientists from around the world attending the 2007 Envisat Symposium from 23 to 27 April to review and present results of ongoing research project activities using data from ESA's Earth observation satellites, in particular Envisat.
Almost all fields of Earth science will be highlighted, such as greenhouse gas concentrations, ozone hole monitoring, sea level rise, sea surface temperature, ice sheets and sea ice variations, volcanoes and earthquakes, land cover changes, among others. About 800 presentations are planned in 54 themed sessions with participants from over 40 countries worldwide.
As the greatest environmental challenge facing the world today, numerous climate change studies and results will be presented at the symposium, further illustrating the findings of the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report.

The Tennessee State men's basketball team welcomes in-state foe Austin Peay on Thursday for a pivotal conference matchup. Thursday's game marks the lone meeting between the two Tennessee schools. Tip time is set for 7:00 p.m. in the Gentry center.
Tennessee State is coming off of its third win of the season on Jan. 30 over Tennessee Tech. The win pushed the Tigers to 2-8 in conference play, with the other conference win being over Jacksonville State in early January.
Big Blue is powered by a potent offensive attack, spearheaded by senior Patrick Miller. The Chicago native has taken the league by storm averaging 23.3 points per night, in league play Miller has increased his scoring output to a 26.6 points a night clip.
In the paint the M.J. Rhett has been a force all year long. The senior is nearly averaging a double-double a night with an average of 10.5 points and 8.8 rebounds a night. On the year Rhett has tallied 10 double-doubles on the year.
The Tennessee State men's basketball team outscored Tennessee Tech 45-32 during the second half allowing the Tigers to record their first road victory of the season on Thursday night, 81-68.
TSU (3-21, 2-8 OVC) was paced by Patrick Miller who scored 27 points on 5-of-10 shooting and dished out five assists. The game marks the 22nd time that the senior has led the Tigers in points.
Juniors M.J. Rhett and Jay Harris finished in double-figures as well, pouring in 20 and 11 points, respectively. Rhett also secured a team-high eight rebounds.
Austin Peay comes into Thursday's meeting with a 9-13 record and a 3-5 mark in conference play. The Governors have lost five of their last six contests, with the lone win coming against Tennessee Tech on Jan. 25.
Peay is led by sophomore Chris Horton who leads the team in rebounds and scoring average. Horton's 9.8 rebounds per contest stands as the third best mark in the Ohio Valley. Combined with the 11th best scoring average in the league (14.0), Horton stands as one of the finest post players in the OVC.
In the backcourt the Governors are paced by senior Travis Betran. The senior guard is averaging 13.5 points per contest. Betran is also one of the top 3-point shooters in the Ohio Valley making an average of 2.5 triples a game.
The duo makes up a substantial part of the fifth scoring offense in the conference, pouring in 75.3 points a night. APSU's attack is aided by a 47.8 shooting percentage, which makes Peay the third best shooting time in the Ohio Valley Conference.
Tennessee State will square off against Austin Peay for the 68th time, with the Governors holding a 25-42 edge in the series.
The Tennessee State men's basketball team escaped Clarksville, Tenn. with an 88-82 overtime victory over Austin Peay.
With the score tied at 65 with only five seconds to go in the game, APSU's Will Triggs stole the ball and passed it up ahead to Herdie Lawrence. Lawrence scored a layup, giving APSU a two-point lead.
On TSU's inbound play, the Tigers threw the ball down the court and Jordan Cyphers caught the pass and attempted a triple. The shot fell short of the rim, but right into the hands of Kellen Thornton. Thornton tipped the ball in the hoop with just tenths of a second remaining in the game to force overtime.
In the extra period, Patrick Miller scored nine points and led TSU (14-10, 8-3 OVC) to the six-point victory. Miller's dunk with 27 seconds left in the game made the score 86-77 and ended all hopes of a miracle by the Govs.
Updates on the game will be available throughout the game on the official twitter page via @TSU_Tigers. Live stats and video will also be available for the games. Links can be found on tsutigers.com under the schedule.
Tennessee State will return to action on Saturday, Feb. 8 against Murray State at home. Game time is slated for 7:30 p.m. in the Gentry Center.

Tarentum mom not guilty of concealing son's SIDS death
A judge has found a western Pennsylvania woman not guilty of covering up the death of her infant son last summer.
Thirty-two-year-old Nicole Dull, of Tarentum, was acquitted Thursday by an Allegheny County judge who agreed with her attorney that she shouldn't have been charged under a law better used to target those who throw away the corpses of children.
An autopsy concluded that Dull's 5-week-old son died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome last August. But Dull and the boy's father feared that they would be blamed for his death because of their past drug abuse and dealings with county child welfare workers.
So they instead drove with the body to a hotel, where they unsuccessfully tried to commit suicide before the baby was found hidden in the room of another hotel they visited next.

Super quick and easy tutorial for you today. I have a drawer full of these and use them for everything - bills, letters, you name it...my mom does too, actually! I recently received an oversized catalog for baby strollers (why? I have more than one that I barely use). The pages were huge and mostly images - perfect for envelope making. I was able to make standard #10 envelopes as well as catalog envelopes - which is great because I'm always looking for a bigger envelope!
To start just pull pages out of your catalog or magazine with images you love. I prefer to go for pages with as little language as possible but that certainly isn't a rule.
Glue - glue stick or craft glue - whichever you prefer

Centre History
The work of the Curies led to important advances in physics and chemistry but also in medicine and biology. From 1901, clinical trials with radioactive bodies were undertaken at the Saint-Louis Hospital, just as Wilhelm Roentgen's 1895 discovery of X-rays had given rise to a new cancer treatment: roentgen therapy. In the years after, many doctors pursued studies of various diseases, often using radium samples provided by the Curies. The results in dermatological diseases and skin cancer were encouraging. Through use of radiation (X-rays and radioactive elements), a new medical field gradually emerged: radiotherapy. Now the institute is joined to a comprehensive cancer center.
Department Profile
The interdisciplinary supportive care department has been open since 2005 and is build upon several units: palliative care, psyconcology, social support, physiotherapy, nutrition.
Areas of Specialisation
Communication skills
Palliative and Supportive Care
Open since 1994

Here is the face of abortion that Planned Parenthood, the National Abortion Federation (NAF), the National Organization for Women (NOW), and their Big Media allies don't want you to see: Dr. Leroy Carhart.
Not now, anyway; and not in a candid, unscripted role that demolishes the sainted image Hollywood and a sympathetic media have crafted of him. Carhart is supposed to be the "responsible" face of abortion, as opposed to the horrific image recently revealed in the trial of Dr. Kermit "House of Horrors" Gosnell.
A few months ago Carhart was a celebrity at Robert Redford's 2013 Sundance Film Festival, receiving standing ovations from audiences for his star appearance (as himself) in After Tiller, a documentary that canonizes Carhart and three other abortionists noted for performing late-term, partial-birth abortions. The film has been enthusiastically received at a string of film festivals since its premier in January at Sundance, most recently being showcased at the Maryland Film Festival on May 12.
However, the same Big Media reviewers who lavished acclaim on Carhart and After Tiller are ignoring — so far — a new undercover video that shows the abortionist "hero" making shocking comments to a young woman in her third trimester of pregnancy.
Inhuman: Undercover in America's Late-Term Abortion Industry – Carhart is the latest in a series of undercover videos produced by Lila Rose and her Live Action News that have devastatingly exposed Planned Parenthood and other leading abortion providers. Inhuman — Carhart catches the revered abortion icon in an unvarnished moment, revealing the truly inhuman face behind his contrived mask of "compassion." (See video at bottom of article.)
"Crock Pot … Pickaxe, Drill Bit"
In attempts to allay concerns of the young woman who asks if there will be difficulties removing the baby from her womb, since she is already 26 weeks pregnant, Dr. Carhart sickeningly jokes that it will be no problem. He compares the baby to "meat in a Crock Pot" and says if the baby doesn't come out, he can go in and "take it out in pieces," breaking it up with "a pickaxe, a drill bit" and other tools in his "toolkit."
Breaking the Law — With Impunity
Carhart also reveals that he is willing to break the law and seems to be saying that he does it all the time. When the woman reveals that she is from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, which bans elective abortions after 24 weeks, Carhart says, nevertheless, that he will come to her home to get the abortion started. From the transcript:
Dr. Carhart: That's fine, um, we start on Sundays in Sioux Falls. Up, you're in Sioux Falls.
Woman: You'll come and home visit?
Dr. Carhart: (Inaudible) I will come to your house and do this, in Sioux Falls. That would be really good, I can't go over 14 or 16 there. Um, but we um, need to have you start, at 26 weeks, or actually no, we could do Monday morning, if you want to.
Woman: OK.
It is also very clear from the video that Dr. Carhart acknowledges that this is a purely elective abortion he is proposing and that there is nothing physically wrong with the mother or the baby.
Dr. Carhart: so, um, they've got this down as a fetal indication, there's nothing wrong with the baby that you know of, is there?
Woman: Nothing that I know of.
Dr. Carhart: OK, I don't know where that came from or how that got in here, but I've never had a fetal indication that wasn't within 2 or 3 days of what she thought she was, so I—
Woman: Does that mean, fetal indication —
Dr. Carhart: Means there's something wrong with the baby and that's why you're terminating.
Woman: Yeah. No.
Dr. Carhart: Just, just pure —
Woman: purely this is what I wanna do.
Dr. Carhart: And here (coughs) we cannot do it, but in Maryland we can do it, in fact the only places where it can be done right now is Maryland, um, Boulder, Colorado, and uh, Albuquerque.
The new undercover video also puts the lie to the claim of Carhart's media defenders who claim that he honors the "fetal viability" rule of 24 weeks. An admiring 2009 Newsweek/Daily Beast piece entitled, "The Abortion Evangelist," for instance, says Carhart won't "do elective abortions past 24 weeks." Here's the excerpt:
Carhart has a few firm lines; he won't, for example, do elective abortions past 24 weeks, because the fetus is likely viable. "It just makes sense to me," says Carhart. "After a certain point in time, the fetus is viable and we have to look at it differently than if it were not viable." And at 24 weeks, many studies show a fetus's chance of survival to be above 50 percent. Any earlier and the survival rate is lower; at 22 weeks it's less than 10 percent. But Carhart admits that such clear guidelines rarely present themselves. "There are times when abortion is the right answer," he says. "There are times when abortion is not the right answer. I hope I get it right."
Firm lines? Won't do elective abortions after 24 weeks? Watch the video or read the transcript for the truth.
Woman: so, a baby at this age, what am I, 26 weeks?
Dr. Carhart: 26.
Woman: Could not survive? If it was delivered?
Dr. Carhart: If it came out, oh yeah, it probably — probably could, probably. It would be a 50/50 thing, probably.
Woman: Oh, oh, OK.
Dr. Carhart: But we're OK, we can do by law in Maryland, we can go to 28 weeks, so.
Woman: Oh, OK. so I'm OK.
Dr. Carhart: Yeah, you're, you'll fit within, that's what I say, we can do electively, we can do this electively in —
Carhart Boast: He's Killed "Twenty-Some Thousand" Babies Over 24 Weeks
When the woman asks what will happen if the baby comes out alive, Carhart assures her that won't happen and then boasts that he has done "twenty-some thousand" abortions on women who were over 24 weeks pregnant.
Will Newsweek/Daily Beast take another, more honest look at Carhart now? What about the other Big Media organs that glowingly profiled Carhart and the movie After Tiller, such as ABC News, the Associated Press, the Los Angeles Times, the Huffington Post, and the Hollywood Reporter now give equal coverage to the unrehearsed, unscripted, undercover truth revealed in Inhuman — Carhart?
Will the media accomplices of Dr. Carhart now look into the tragic death of 29-year-old Jennifer Morbelli, who died on February 7, 2013, after an abortion by Dr. LeRoy Carhart at his clinic, Germantown Reproductive Health Services, in Germantown, Maryland? Her baby was at the 33-week gestation point when Carhart butchered both mother and child.
The true face of abortion is coming out, regardless of efforts by the pro-abortion Big Media guns to censor it. As we reported yesterday, another important video recently came out with three former employees exposing the horrendous practices of Texas abortionist Dr. Douglas Karpen. There is still much more to come.

The state is divided into 16 individual tourism regions and each region is marketed by a Regional Tourism Council (RTC), a nonprofit, membership-based organization. The RTCs develop regional advertising, public relations, brochures, and other marketing initiatives throughout the year.
The Massachusetts Office of Travel & Tourism (MOTT) markets the state as a whole while the RTCs focus on promoting their specific designated service area of the state. The RTCs are an invaluable resource for learning about attractions, accommodations, events, restaurants, retail, networking, and other tourism businesses. The state's annual grant program helps the RTCs accomplish their marketing initiatives. In FY19, $6 million was distributed among the RTCs to support their advertising, administrative, and marketing efforts.

Kidney Cancer: Questions to Ask Your Doctor
Get the most out of your visit to the doctor.
While your doctor usually asks the questions during an exam, you can take charge by asking the right questions about kidney cancer. Being proactive can make a big difference in the way you manage your health with kidney cancer. Your well-being is important to you and your doctor, so don't hesitate to inquire about your kidney cancer - diagnosis, symptoms, medication or other treatments, treatment side effects, whether complementary or alternative therapies might help, emotional issues, concerns about paying for your treatment, or diet and lifestyle considerations.
Engaging in a dialogue with your doctor will help educate you about kidney cancer and the treatments available to you, and it'll give your doctor a better sense of who you are and how kidney cancer is affecting your overall health and life. With the lines of communication open, you and your doctor will be able to develop a treatment plan that meets your needs.
But remember, your time with your doctor is limited, so be sure to arrive at your appointment prepared to discuss kidney cancer and the questions that are important to you. Start by:
- Researching kidney cancer. It's a good idea to get a better understanding of kidney cancer before your appointment. Through research, you'll probably be able to answer some of your own questions. Visit Everyday Health's Kidney Cancer Center, the National Cancer Institute, the American Cancer Society, and MedlinePlus.
- Strategizing. Your family doctor may not be able to answer all your questions about kidney cancer; some questions may be better addressed by individual specialists, such as a urologist, a urologic surgeon, a medical oncologist, a nephrologist, or a radiation oncologist. Discuss this with your doctor, set up a protocol for addressing your concerns, and follow up with a specialist or do additional research, as directed by your doctor.
- Note taking. Consider keeping a journal of your concerns about kidney cancer between doctor's visits, and share any relevant information with your doctor about symptoms like blood in your urine, unexplained weight loss, or loss of appetite. Let your doctor know if certain lifestyle changes are improving your symptoms, if you're experiencing any other complications related to your condition or treatment, or if you have any concerns about medications, such as side effects you may be experiencing. Additionally, taking notes or recording what your doctor says during your appointments will help you remember important details after your visit.
Kidney Cancer Causes, Testing, and Diagnosis
Kidney cancer is among the 10 most common cancers found in men and women. Most people diagnosed with kidney cancer are over the age of 45, but it can affect younger people and even children. The most prevalent type of kidney cancer is renal cell carcinoma, also referred to as RCC, renal cell cancer, and renal cell adenocarcinoma, There are a number of subtypes of this cancer, including clear cell renal carcinoma, which is the form most often diagnosed. In addition to RCC, rarer forms of cancer - such as transitional cell carcinomas, Wilms' tumors, and renal sarcomas - can affect the kidneys.
Kidney cancer is often detected before it spreads beyond the kidneys, but because symptoms don't usually show up in the early stages, kidney cancer may not be found until it's at an advanced stage. If your doctor suspects that you're at risk for kidney cancer but you haven't been formally diagnosed, talk to your doctor about arranging diagnostic tests and evaluations. These may include lab studies, such as blood work and urinalysis; imaging studies such as ultrasounds, X-rays, computerized tomography (CT), nuclear medicine and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); and sometimes cystoscopy (to look inside your bladder). Biopsies are not commonly performed in diagnosing of kidney cancer.
Once you have a formal diagnosis, your doctor will give you information about your type of kidney cancer and discuss treatment options. Additional diagnostic tests may be recommended. The treatment for kidney cancer will depend on what type of kidney cancer you have, the stage of the cancer, your age and overall health, and your own treatment preferences. Your doctor and the rest of your kidney cancer treatment team will help you determine the best course of treatment for your condition. You will probably have some questions and concerns about your diagnosis and how kidney cancer will affect your health and your life. Consider asking your doctor the following:
- What kinds of tests will determine if I have kidney cancer?
- Is there anything I need to do to prepare for the diagnostic tests?
- Will I need a kidney biopsy? If so, what will that involve?
- What is the difference between an MRI and a CT scan?
- What type of kidney cancer do I have?
- Is the cancer confined to my kidney, or has it spread to any other part of my body?
- What stage is my kidney cancer, and what's the prognosis?
- What caused my kidney cancer?
- Does kidney cancer put me at risk for complications such as liver function abnormalities or bone problems? How can I avoid such complications?
- What kidney cancer treatment options are available?
- What treatments do you recommend, and why?
- Do I need surgery? If so, what type of surgery?
- Would the surgery remove the tumor or a whole kidney? What does it involve?
- What are the risks of surgery, and what is the typical recovery time?
- What are the implications of living with one kidney?
- If I need chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, or a combination, what should I know about these therapies?
- What are the risks associated with these treatments?
- How will my quality of life be affected by these treatments?
- What do I need to do to prepare for these treatments? How much time should I expect to need for recovery between treatments?
- What are the side effects associated with kidney cancer treatment?
- What should I do if the side effects worsen, or if I experience new side effects?
- How will my condition be monitored, and how will I know if the treatment is working?
- What kind of follow-up tests should I expect after treatment, and how often will I need them?
- Are you experienced in treating patients with kidney cancer?
- What other kinds of specialists should be on my oncology team? Should I consider seeing a urologist, a urologic surgeon, a medical oncologist, a nephrologist, or a radiation oncologist?
- If the kidney cancer treatment appears to be successful, what is the likelihood that the cancer will return?
- Can I help prevent a recurrence?
- Should I consider participating in clinical trials for patients who have kidney cancer? Why or why not?
- What can I do to stay as healthy as possible during my treatment period?
Kidney Cancer Medications
Treatment for your condition will depend on the type and severity of your kidney cancer. Your doctor may prescribe medication to manage your symptoms and slow the progression of your disease, and it's important that you understand any medication regimen your doctor prescribes. Ask your doctor about the medication, read the insert the pharmacy includes with your prescription, and take the medication as directed by your physician. Knowing how your medication is supposed to work will help you evaluate its effectiveness and whether it's the right medication for you. It's also possible that you might have to take more than one medication at a time.
Here are some questions you may want to ask your doctor about kidney cancer medications:
- Will I need to take medication as part of my treatment?
- How often and for how long will I need to take this medication?
- What type of drug will you prescribe, and how does it work?
- Where can I get more information about this drug?
- How will the medication make me feel, and how will I know if it's working?
- When can I expect an improvement in my symptoms?
- What are the risks if I don't take my medication as directed, or if I forget to take it?
- Has this medication been tested in people with kidney cancer? Are there any recent clinical studies on it?
- Are there any side effects I should be aware of?
- What should I do if I experience any side effects? Are there any that may require me to call a doctor? Are there any that may require me to stop taking the medication immediately?
- Is this drug habit-forming?
- Can I take this on an empty stomach, or should it be taken with food?
- Could this medication interact negatively with other medications I'm taking?
- Can other conditions interfere with or be affected by my medication?
Complementary and Alternative Therapies
In addition to the primary treatments your doctor recommends, you may consider complementary or alternative treatments, such as yoga, relaxation techniques, physical therapy, and acupuncture. Ask your doctor whether any of these options might be beneficial for you.
- Should I consider any complementary or alternative therapies?
- Can any of these therapies help with pain management?
- Because cancer treatment can have a negative effect on appetite and digestion, should I consider meeting with a nutritionist?
- Could stress management, relaxation techniques, or meditation benefit me?
- Could physical therapy of any kind be helpful?
- Could acupuncture be beneficial?
Emotional Health and Family Concerns
It's natural to experience feelings of depression, frustration, anger, fear, anxiety, and loneliness when you have cancer, but these feelings can sometimes interfere with your recovery. Your doctor can help you find ways to cope with the emotional stress of kidney cancer, manage your symptoms, and handle the impact your condition is having on your life and relationships. Ask for a referral to a good therapist or support group, and find out what else you can do to improve your emotional health while living with kidney cancer.
- How do I know whether depression and stress are adversely affecting my health?
- Should I seek emotional support from a group or therapist?
- Are there support groups that focus on the special needs of kidney cancer patients? How can I find one?
- Can you recommend any online resources for kidney cancer support?
- How should I explain my condition to my spouse, family, and friends?
- What's the best way to talk to my children about my illness?
- What, if anything, should I say to my boss and co-workers?
- How is my condition likely to affect my relationships, and what can I do to improve my situation?
- How can my family help me cope with kidney cancer?
- Are there support services that can help my family cope with my condition?
- How can I move on after my treatment is complete?
- What should I do if I feel I'm being discriminated against at work or school?
General Health and Lifestyle Concerns
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is one of the best ways to stay in good overall health with kidney cancer. Participating in a physical fitness regimen, following a balanced diet, getting adequate rest and sleep, quitting smoking, moderating your alcohol consumption, and avoiding substance abuse of any kind will contribute to better health and well-being. Check with your doctor to see whether you need to make any lifestyle changes at home, work, or school to better manage your kidney cancer.
- How will kidney cancer treatment affect my daily life?
- Will I need to make any lifestyle changes to better manage my kidney cancer or my treatment?
- Do I need to make any changes in diet or exercise or how much I rest?
- Would losing weight be advantageous?
- Can drinking alcohol, smoking (or being exposed to secondhand smoke), or using drugs affect my condition?
- Should I make any special accommodations for school, home, or my work?
- Can you recommend any good books, magazines, organizations, or online resources that focus on kidney cancer?
Financial Health
The costs associated with your treatment for kidney cancer may have a significant impact on your finances. It's crucial to find ways to balance your physical health with your financial health. Ask your doctor about ways in which you may be able to offset the cost of your treatment, and follow up with a representative from your insurance company, as necessary:
- Will my treatment be covered by my health insurance plan?
- About how much will my treatment cost?
- If surgery is necessary, will it be covered by my insurance? What are the risks of delaying surgery or opting out of it for financial reasons?
- If I choose to do complementary or alternative therapy, is it likely to be covered by my insurance? If not, what kind of out-of-pocket costs can I expect?
- What are my options if I don't have any health insurance?
- Are there government programs or other organizations that might be of assistance?
- Regarding my prescriptions, are there generic versions of the medications that would be more affordable? If not, are there other, equally effective medications that are available as generics?
- Do you have any samples or discount coupons for my prescription?

Drag Racing Parts - Wish List For The New Season - Ultimate Racing
You Needed Them Last Year, Get Them Now
Christmas is now over, you've had a good rest from the busy season this last year and it's about time to start thinking about your needs for the coming season. What we need to do is sit back and think of the times we needed certain tools that we didn't have or observed equipment that needed to be replaced. Now is the time to develop our parts wish list.
We know we need certain equipment in order to do our job repairing or maintaining our race cars. There are other areas too that need to be considered. The transportation needs as well as convenience items come to mind, as do the safety components for both driver and crew. Let your mind encompass every aspect of the team effort.
Many teams will have a "garage sale" of sorts and sometimes the track cooperates in allowing the teams to setup at the track for a used-parts sale day prior to the season opener. If your track does not have a day scheduled, ask it to schedule one. Get a few other teams together as a group and approach the track ownership about organizing a swap meet of sorts. Or you can advertise locally and even regionally on craigslist.com or eBay.
Being able to sell your unused and unwanted parts generates money for the ones you really need while allowing teams with lower budgets or in the lower classes to have the opportunity to pick up parts they need too. Items we accumulate too many of or that might age somewhat could include shocks, wheels, springs, tires, or other things you might need to replace.
Just try not to sell parts that are bad. This will give you and your team a bad name in the racing community. I knew of a local racer who sold my friend five bad harmonic balancers that had spun out of degree accuracy. This was a common problem back in the '70s with stock parts. If your parts are damaged or bad, throw them away, don't sell them.
OK, here goes, our wish list of parts you might need.
Certain tools just make the job of building, maintaining, and repairing the race car quicker and easier.
Setup Tools and Aides I put this one first by design because it is close to my heart. All of what comes after this is a prelude to this section. But instead of putting it last, I wanted to put it upfront so you could be thinking about this all the while.
If you don't have a set of racing scales, shame, shame. If yours are worn or battered, good for you, you've been using them. There are new models out that don't have wires to step on, trip over, or constantly have to be moved over the jack. Wireless scales are wonderful and we have used them on our project vehicles and just loved the convenience.
You must align your race car correctly and the best and easiest way to do that is with proper alignment tools such as laser systems. The time saved and the accuracy achieved all make this investment well worth it. I have heard feedback from many teams who have bought and used these systems and they are very happy they made the choice.
You should have at a minimum, caster and camber gauges, bumpsteer gauges, wheel alignment and Ackermann-checking systems, as well as tire temperature and air pressure gauges.
For the dirt guys, tread depth gauges and tire siping and cutting tools are in order. You can do most of your setup parameters in the shop where the floor is relatively level and all of the above can help you prepare the car for the various conditions you might encounter.
Air System with Compressor Installing a complete compressed air system with all of the air tools saves electricity while providing relatively cheap tools to cut, rivet, drill, ratchet, impact, and sand on your car. One larger compressor, installed outside the working area, provides all of the air needed and isolates the sound.
Drill Press We are always drilling and needing to do it straight and accurately. A good drill press on a stand works well for those tasks.
Metal Brake Many of our body parts are hand-made in the shop. A good metal brake can be a useful tool to bend the metal precisely. Some models double as a metal shear too.
Air Rivet Gun Even if you have a single-line air system, this item makes installing and repairing your car much easier. If you've ever used one, you'll agree, this is one handy tool.
Welder There are many new models of welders out there right now, so you can upgrade your system. TIG and MIG welders, as well as the plasma cutters, all provide the capability to construct the entire chassis or do periodic maintenance and repair work on the chassis and rollcage.
Band Saw Here is a very useful item whereby you can cut small pieces safely and accurately and keep your blood where it belongs, inside the skin. Just watch those fingers.
Tubing Bender Many teams will construct their own rollcages, front and rear clips, and other chassis components using a tubing bender. This handy tool makes construction of anything that involves tubing a fun and artistic endeavor. It's just plain fun and exciting to watch a rollcage come together.
Engine Parts
Radiator If we think back on the past season we might remember we had cooling problems. Now might be a good time to consider a new and improved radiator. There are many different designs to choose from that might help you run cooler and survive the heat of summer. With it being winter right now, you might miss that one.
Gauges One of the keys to engine survival is being able to see early on when trouble starts, like when the oil or water temp goes up, or the voltage is getting low. A quality set of gauges can help prevent costly repairs on the engine by letting us know about a problem early on. Review your gauge system and think about replacement.
Fuel Cell, Pump, and Carburetor Your fuel delivery system will wear out. You need to either rebuild your old carb or think about a new one. Making the choice to purchase a new one might just save you a race failure due to a float sticking or a fuel leak that results in a damaging fire. The fuel cell, especially with the newer fuels containing ethanol and such, might need to be inspected and/or replaced. Newer additives can destroy the bonding agents that hold your cell together. The fuel lines, fuel pump gaskets and diaphragms all suffer from the effects of ethanol. Do a full inspection and replace those parts that are in question.
Heads and ValveTrain You've been running a pair of heads that you know are marginal for flow, but ones that you picked up cheap at a yard sale. With new CNC processes, you can have a set of heads that flow wicked amounts of A/F mixture and where horsepower gains are significant.
While you're at it, consider installing a whole new valvetrain that will improve the rocker ratio, increase duration, and will include lighter components. These types of parts just keep getting better and better each year.
Plug Wires, Distributor, Alternator, and Ignition Box Your engine's electrical system that feeds the plugs works very hard and does wear out. A new season requires a close look at this part of your powerplant. A failure of any one of these means a missed race. If you plan on running at the top of the points this year, make sure your electrical system is in top shape.
Shocks and Springs Shocks do a lot of work. These components must be either replaced or rebuilt at least once a season. If you ran yours all season long without inspection, they are due for a rebuild or replacement if not able to be repaired.
Consider newer designs to go along with that new setup you have in mind. Shocks complement all setups but there can be very different requirements depending on your type of racing and even your particular setup. What works for a more conventional setup will not work for a soft-spring setup.
Your springs may not wear out, but they can be damaged or sag to the point of being too short. The rate can also change from losing coils as the spring gets shorter. Think about your intended uses and make sure you have the springs you will need for every track condition you might run across, especially if you are touring and will run different tracks. One size does not fit all when it comes to springs.
Brake System Talk about high maintenance, your brake system needs love and attention, just like your spouse. Ignore this important chassis partner and you'll get a big surprise at some point when you least expect it. Your brake partner will leave you and take your car with it.
Inspect, repair, and/or replace the components that wear the most like the wheel cylinders, master cylinders, calipers, and even the pedal system. Talk to your brake specialist to find new and better pads, rotors, or calipers.
Ball and Heim Joints The chassis suspension pivots all have a high rate of wear and failure if not maintained and replaced periodically. Inspect your trailing arm Heim joints, arm bushings, and ball joints. Now is the time to consider switching to the low-friction ball joints and choosing the shaft length that will help improve your moment center design. Or install mono-balls so that making height changes to your spindle pivots is fast and easy.
Steering System Here is an item that often gets overlooked. Steering components don't last forever. Slop in the rack, steering box, or U-joints along the steering shaft, or a power assist unit that goes out can make the driver very uncomfortable. A steering part that breaks always brings with it more damage to the car and a lot of time and expense to repair. Stay on top of your steering system and you will finish more races.
Rear Suspension There are a lot of possibilities when it comes to the rear of the car. Pull bars, lift arms, spear rods, J-bars, and birdcage designs all change and evolve. Simply installing a Panhard/J-bar adjuster could save you valuable time in the pits during a race or just when testing or practicing.
Racers are always looking for ways to improve bite off the corners and the manufacturers are constantly coming up with new ideas and improved parts. Keep checking with the various companies and car builders for new ideas.
Safety Items
Helmets Newer helmet designs offer better cooling, better protection, and less weight. If you've had a hard lick wearing your old helmet, and you haven't had it inspected, you need to send it off to the manufacturer for the once over. Or, better yet, look over all of the new models and opt to buy a new one that is more advanced. You have plenty of time to make your choice of a new one or send in the old one before that first practice.
Head-and-Neck Restraint System
The drivers who die not wearing these safety items appear to have been hanged. Don't risk it, dig up the cash now and just buy one. When and if you do hit the wall hard, you will know why that was money well spent. Do it for your family as well as for yourself. They may end up missing you, and you them, otherwise.
SeatBelts Seatbelts, by regulation, have a life. Inspect your belts for wear and tear and to see if the date has expired. If so, it's time to replace them. New belts aren't real expensive, but necessary for being safer in your car. There are many different models on the market and mounts for every application.
Driver Suit Think about your choice of driver suit. If it isn't the highest rating for fire protection, then close your eyes and imagine you're trapped in your burning race car, fuel all around you spilled from your car and you need 30 seconds to get out. That's a long time. Sit where you are, look at your watch and see how long 30 seconds is and all the while imagine being engulfed in flames. Now you get the idea. Just adding protective underwear adds to the time you have to escape.
The highest rating in driver suits can provide up to and beyond 30 seconds of protection from fire. Lower rates suits provide less than that down to only 3 seconds in a single layer entry level suit. Can you get out that fast? Make the smart choice.
Driver Seat The seats made for stock cars have improved tremendously over the past 10 years. They now provide good side support, head support, and are more comfortable. If it's been a while since you purchased a new seat, take a look around at what is available and think about making your butt both more comfortable as well as safer.
Simply installing add-ons for head protection helps improve your older design. New nets for arm movement restriction and newer padding just add to the cockpit safety package to further reduce pain and injury in a crash.
Fire Suppression System
Hitting that bottle release could bring a measure of relief from flames and heat to allow you to do all of the above. This is like every other safety item we talk about, you'll never need it until you need it. It is insurance. Every time you get into your car, you must think about the worst case scenario. There is never a time when these events take a vacation. The possibility always exists.
Conclusion So, now that you've had a chance to think about all of your wants and wishes, break down your budget and see how much money you have available. Make your list of needs and tally the cost. Then, if you have a dedicated and loyal sponsor, meet with them and present your wish list. It might be easier to get the money you need if you have a definite plan on how you will spend it. A list tells the sponsor you know what you need to be successful and together you might just reach your goals.

First ingredient is a named meat product
Insufficient meat content, mixed quality ingredients, fat of unidentifiable origin, controversial filler
The first ingredient is a named meat product, in meal form. It is the sole meat ingredient in the food, and is followed by three grain products ahead of the fat content. This gives us very little confidence in the meat content of the product.
The grains are of mixed quality. Rice is decent quality grain, but rice flour (in dog food, commonly a byproduct of human food production) and rice bran are both grain fragments we consider primarily filler. Wheat is one of the most common sources of allergy problems in dog food, and in flour form (in dog food, commonly a byproduct of human food production) is a grain fragment. Soy is a further product commonly linked to allergy probleams and which we prefer not to see used in dog foods.
Poultry fat is a further low quality ingredient rarely found in anything but very low quality foods. Poultry fat is an ingredient of unidentified origin for which it is impossible to determine source or quality. Unidentified ingredients are usually very low quality. AAFCO define this as obtained from the tissues of poultry in the commercial processes of rendering or extracting. It consists predominantly of glyceride esters of fatty acids and contains no additions of free fatty acids. If an antioxidant is used, the common name or names must be indicated, followed by the words "used as a preservative".
Beet pulp is controversial filler which appears to be used in large quantities in this food. It is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required. We would prefer to see the use of whole eggs rather than egg product in the food.
We note that this product includes synthetic vitamin K, a substance linked to liver problems and that is progressively being removed from better quality dog food products.

Many sponsored friends and family members who live in the town of Santa Maria, in Ixhuatan, Guatemala, go without running water or electricity in their homes because these necessities are not readily available.
Edelmira is a mother of four: three boys and one girl. Edelmira's son, Josue, is sponsored through Unbound. The family does not have running water in the home, and they must travel to a community tank to get water.
Edelmira gives us an inside look into the life of her family.
What is the current water situation in your home?
We do not have running water in our home.
Every day I walk 20 minutes to a community tank to get our daily supply of water.
I bring the water home in big plastic jars. I carry two jars: one on my head and one on my arm.
I make several trips back and forth to the tank. I walk up and down hills, and it usually takes me about two or three hours every day.
I am familiar with walking and carrying heavy loads. When I was a little girl my father would have us work in the fields and carry big sacks of corn and beans on our head.
Do you ever experience water shortages?
The community tank provides water for most of the people who live in this area.
We must wait in line to take a shower, wash clothes and fill our jars to bring water home.
I usually wait up to 45 minutes in line.
Can you describe what a typical day is like for you?
I wake up at 4 in the morning to start bringing water home from the community tank.
Around 6 a.m., I come back home to cook breakfast and get my children ready for school.
I take my children to school, and around 8 or 9 a.m. I continue bringing water from the community tank to our home until around 11 in the morning. Sometimes my children also help me bring the water home.
We use the water I bring home to drink, cook and wash dishes.
Every afternoon I take all of my children to the community water tank to take a shower and wash clothes.
On Saturdays, my children and I go to the forest to collect our weekly supply of firewood.
I need this firewood to cook food and boil the water that we drink.
I also dry our clothes in the sun, and then I fold it very tightly. This keeps the garments neat so there is no need to iron them.
I am very careful with the water that I use to cook and drink.
I boil and keep the water in plastic containers that I have received from Unbound.
Is there any message you would like to give your child's sponsor?
There is no substitute for water. God has provided water, so let us take care of what's available to us.
Treasure the water that you have.
We hope we have the opportunity to meet my son's sponsor.
It is not easy to provide running water for a family. About 30 percent of the sponsored friends and their families do not have running water or electricity at home.
Many cannot afford the costs for pipe installation or the monthly fees ($3 to $4 a month) for the service, which is not dependable. Those who can afford running water in their homes still encounter challenges because water is rationed by local authorities.
A typical family may use three or four candles per day. Every candle costs about 13 cents, so that would be about $4 a month. Families are not able to commit to a monthly electric bill so they prefer to use candles and buy as many as they can afford.
Unbound helps sponsored friends and their families obtain water basins, plastic water containers, metal water containers and water pumps.
A big thank you to Roxeny Lemus, Unbound social worker in Santa Maria, Ixhuatan, Guatemala, for providing us with this information.
