In fact, one of the most rewarding aspects of being a pediatrician is having the privilege to observe a child from birth through their teens, in a sense, "helping to raise them". Therein lays the reason for check-ups.
When you see your pediatrician for a check-up, I'm sure you get your child's weight, height, BMI, (and blood pressure once they are older), as well as their growth percentiles.
The doctor also does a physical exam on your child, which is hopefully all normal. But there is a lot more than that to your visit. This is the time for your doctor to discuss your child's milestones; whether that is sitting up for the first time, first words or how they are performing in first grade. These conversations continue for all of your child's school years as well.
It is also the time to discuss multiple other topics which should include sleep habits, nutrition and safety which is pertinent to all age groups. As your child gets older the conversation should include discussions about school performance, bullying, studying, screen time, family meals, exercise, and the child's interests.
For the teen patient I think it is important to discuss sexuality, peer pressures, driving, and the adolescent's long term goals. The list goes on and on, but certain topics should certainly be yearly discussions which are then tailored to the age of the child.
As a child gets older it is important to have some time where the doctor may be alone with the adolescent who may want some "private time" with the doctor. It is equally important that the exam includes time spent with the both the parent and the adolescent to wrap up the check up and answer any questions that a parent may have had that their adolescent did not.
For my patients 18 and older, I find that many times their parents do not come for their check-ups as the relationship has now become a bit more about a young adult with their doctor. Everyone is different and there is not a "right" way to handle the adolescent, but it is more important to have an open rapport and conversation between patient and doctor.
Lastly, every check-up should have time for questions. It is helpful if parents have a list of questions ready for the doctor. Young parents often have simple questions as they are new parents. So, they often start off with "I think this is a stupid question..." but, there is not a "dumb" question as they have never been parents before. For parents with older children the questions are often more lengthy and may even require another visit or phone call to follow-up or complete the conversation. In either case, the check-up is the place for questions.
I really enjoy my patient's check-ups and continue to realize the importance of the well child exam and the doctor-patient relationship. Don't miss them.

The RDX interior artfully integrates the themes of sporting capability and urban intelligence that drove the development of the entire vehicle. The result is an interior that would look fully at home in a high performance luxury sport sedan, coupled with fully integrated electronic technologies and a new level of practical utility.
Starting in 2010, the RDX featured a larger navigation screen, improved navigation system feature use and content, faster reacting and more useful rear view camera, more intuitive button markings, auto-function headlights, ambient (blue colored) footwell lighting, center console tray, rubber inserts applied to cupholders for improved grip, Bluetooth® Audio and a USB port for easy connectivity of items such as an iPod®, iPhone® or memory stick storage device.
Fine interior materials and careful attention to detail highlight the RDX interior. Stylish and highly supportive perforated leather-trimmed, heated front seats are designed to provide a sporty yet refined driving experience. The power driver's seat adjusts 10 ways (8-way power seat plus 2-way power lumbar support) for optimum comfort, and the RDX front passenger is treated to a 4-way adjustable, power front seat. Supporting the RDX's versatility is a dual-mode rear cargo lid, which can be flipped over and placed on the cargo floor when carrying dirty objects.
The RDX brings a formidable list of standard equipment to its developing market segment. The leather-wrapped 3-spoke steering wheel has fingertip controls and racing-inspired paddle shifters, and frames LED backlit gauges. The standard 360-watt 7-speaker Acura Premium Sound System with 6-disc CD changer can play just about every type of current audio format, and includes standard XM® Radio and USB port and AUX jack connectivity. Staying connected is not a problem as the RDX comes standard with Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® wireless telephone interface that is compatible with most Bluetooth®-enabled mobile telephones.
Dual-zone automatic climate control keeps occupants comfortable and interior storage abounds. There is a locking center console with room inside for a briefcase, and the large rear cargo area is both private and highly versatile.
The available Technology Package integrates seamlessly into the RDX's performance-oriented driving environment. The Acura Navigation System with Voice Recognition™ has an 8-inch color screen, and non-Technology Package RDXs get a standard rear view camera system with a small viewing screen that is integrated into the rearview mirror. With the AcuraLink™ Satellite Communication System with AcuraLink Real-Time Traffic™, the RDX driver can easily navigate around congested freeways. In addition, the system includes AcuraLink Traffic Rerouting™ for automatic rerouting around problem areas along your route. Also included is AcuraLink Real-Time Weather™ with weather radar image maps to provide weather tracking for area specific, continuously updated weather conditions between your current location and your final destination.
Also part of the RDX's Technology Package is the spectacular 410-watt 10-speaker Acura/ELS Surround® Premium Sound System with multi-format 6-disc DVD-Audio changer, AM/FM tuner, XM® Radio and Dolby Pro Logic II.

The concept of a downtown loft, with its feeling of generous space, modern elements and emotional presence, was the inspiration for the RDX interior. To that end, the RDX interior blends a dynamic and substantial look with advanced features. At the same time, the RDX provides a new level of secure and useful utility. Quality of materials along with fit and finish has received close attention in the RDX interior. Rich surface finishes and clean accents reflect the RDX's integration of welcoming comfort and high technology.
With the commanding outward view of an SUV and a sedan-like seating position, the RDX interior creates a uniquely sporting environment. Acura interior design has always made intuitive functionality a priority, and in the RDX all important systems and controls feature intuitive button location along with easy-to-read markings. The systems used most frequently - audio and cruise control - have switches positioned on the steering wheel and the HVAC buttons are located close to the driver. Technology Package items like Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink®, Satellite-Linked Navigation System and Multi-Information Display (MID) also can be controlled via switches on the steering wheel.
The main instrumentation is easy-to-read analog, supplemented with digital and graphic displays. Even though the RDX gives its driver access to many electronic features and conveniences, the interface with each system is simple and intuitive. Sight lines are clear with important items placed within easy view.
The RDX provides important vehicle information via the LCD Multi-Information Display (MID) that is positioned in the lower portion of the speedometer face. The MID shows items such as outside air temperature, vehicle mileage and trip mileage, average fuel economy, TPMS status and is operated via an illuminated control on the instrument panel. The RDX with Technology Package has controls positioned near the steering wheel hub that allow the driver to cycle the display through additional screens of information while keeping both hands on the wheel. Those controls also provide programmable feature customization on the RDX with the Technology Package.
Trip computer functions include average and instantaneous fuel economy. In addition, the Technology Package MID can display:
- Fuel range
- Average vehicle speed
- Elapsed time
- SH-AWD™ torque distribution (RDX SH-AWD™ model only)
- TPMS tire pressure readouts for each wheel
- Feature customization options
Maintenance Minder™ also alerts the driver of upcoming maintenance needs via the MID.
To make the climate control and audio systems easy to operate, the RDX (without Technology Package) has a 6.5-inch display centrally positioned in the instrument panel. In addition to a digital clock, the upper portion of the screen is devoted to the audio system, and features a multi-line display that can show CD title, as well as RDS radio station information when available. The display incorporates an electronic compass located in the upper right portion of the screen while the lower half of the display is devoted to the automatic climate control system, and shows the operating mode and selected temperature settings.
When equipped with the Technology Package, the center dash display is replaced with an 8-inch navigation system screen with an additional display is positioned just above. This display shows the most frequently used audio system and climate control settings, which are accessed via the easy-to-use interface dial.
The leather wrapped 3-spoke steering wheel is designed to offer excellent feel and puts the most commonly used controls within fingertip reach. Audio system controls are positioned on the left spoke with cruise control switches located are on the right spoke. A pair of racing-inspired paddle shifters are tucked behind the steering wheel but are within easy fingertip reach to be able to manually upshift and downshift the Sequential SportShift 5-speed automatic transmission.
When equipped with the Technology Package, the four o'clock position on the steering wheel has switches that operate the Multi-Information Display (MID). The eight o'clock position is reserved for navigation system controls, including a push-to-talk button to activate the voice recognition system, which provides voice control over the navigation system. Controls for Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® are located on the lower left corner of the steering wheel.
The sporting performance and sharp handling of the RDX demanded seating of sports sedan caliber. All seating surfaces are wrapped in soft perforated leather for comfort. The front bucket seats are designed to provide excellent support during aggressive cornering, along with abundant comfort for long drives. The contoured seat shape features substantial side bolsters to help keep passengers comfortably in position as cornering g-force builds.
The driver seat is 10-way power adjustable (8-way power seat plus 2-way power lumbar support) and includes a power-adjustable lumbar support mechanism. The smooth shape of the articulated lumbar mechanism matches the occupant's spinal curvature to provide solid support for the torso. The front seat passenger is treated to a 4-way adjustable, power-actuated seat. The rear seats are carefully engineered - complete with side bolsters - to combine luxurious comfort with good lateral support.
The RDX interior offers generous headroom and legroom for five passengers. Rear outboard passengers will also find ample foot room under the front seats.
Convenient storage areas are easily accessible throughout the interior. Each front door has a utility compartment built into the padded armrest while in the rear seat area, a center armrest folds down to reveal dual cupholders. The lockable 6.3-liter glove box is illuminated.
Up front, there are two cupholders in the center console that use rubber inserts to better retain contents. Beneath the padded, lockable lid of the center console, there is a total of 18 liters of illuminated storage space- enough room to hold a traditional briefcase. A fold-up interior divider and internal 12-volt power outlet make the console easily adaptable for a variety of needs, including out-of-view storage of valuables such as a camera or a personal music player. The center console also includes an integrated tray that is a convenient way to store items such as a wallet, spare keys, or such. In addition, the underside of the center console lid features a coin holder and place for holding credit or gate cards.
Versatile cargo utility is an important RDX attribute. Behind the rear seats, there is 27.8 cubic feet of storage that is easily accessible though the flip-up rear tailgate lid. The rear hatch incorporates two integrated handles to ease opening and closing of the tailgate. Inside the cargo area, a hard lid provides privacy which is a welcome feature for urban environments where security is a priority. When not needed, the hard lid can be removed from the vehicle or stored on the cargo floor. Or, the lid can be flipped over to reveal an easy-to-clean "wipeable" surface (rather than the opposite side's carpeted surface) that is perfect when carrying dirty objects.
To carry larger items, the 60/40 split-folding rear seats can be easily stowed to create a flat load floor. First, the seat base cushions are lifted and rotated forward; then the rear seat backs are folded flat. In this configuration, the RDX offers a total of 60.6 cubic feet of storage behind the front seats- more than enough room to haul for two 19-inch mountain bikes (with front wheels removed). When the rear seats are returned to their upright position, indicators built into the seatback release handles clearly inform when the seatbacks are properly latched in place.
interior lighting
The RDX's driver-oriented interior takes on a technical edge after dark. The analog instruments are LED backlit, with high-contrast markings and a subdued blue accent hue. The progressive self-illuminating gauge package gives the RDX a "welcoming" feel. When the driver's door is opened, the instrument lighting comes to life- and then brightens progressively to 100-percent illumination when the ignition is switched on. The illuminated instrument needles and enunciator lights then come alive, indicating that the RDX is ready to go. At the end of the drive, the instrument lighting dims progressively.
Interior switches are illuminated to make them easy to locate at night, including those switches on all four doors and the steering wheel. The RDX has blue low-level ambient lighting in the ceiling that illuminates the front center console area along with ambient blue footwell lighting.
All four doors have courtesy lights that illuminate when the doors are open. The RDX with Technology Package has interior lights featuring "theater dimming," which can be customized by the driver via the Multi-Information Display (MID) to any of three dimming speeds.
RDX has a dual-zone, automatic climate control system that lets the driver and front passenger set the temperature to their individual liking. Large, simple-to-use system controls are positioned within easy reach, just below the center instrument panel vents.
In addition, the RDX with Technology Package offers a GPS-linked, solar-sensing, dual-zone, automatic climate control system. Based on continuously updated vehicle position and direction of travel, the navigation system determines the position of the sun relative to the driver and passenger. Combining this information with input from the solar sensor located on top of the instrument panel, the climate control system automatically adjusts the heating and cooling inputs, fan speed, and vent position from side to side as needed to compensate for asymmetrical solar heating and maintain the set cabin temperatures.
The overhead console incorporates a variety of useful features, including the controls for the standard HomeLink® system. HomeLink® is a feature that allows up to three traditional remote control devices (such as a garage door opener or property gate opener) to be synced to the RDX- thus allowing the remote function to be triggered by the vehicle without needing to carry a variety of bulky remote control devices.
Other overhead console features include controls for interior lighting and the power tilt/slide moonroof.
7-speaker Acura Premium Sound with 6-CD changer
Acura RDX comes standard with a 7-speaker Acura Premium Sound audio system with a multi-format 6-disc changer. This 360-watt system is designed to give RDX owners exceptional sound quality available from a wide range of audio input formats.
Multiple audio sources
In addition to AM/FM radio bands, the audio system can play program material from a wide variety of sources. The in-dash single-disc CD player can read discs encoded with MP3 or WMA files, and there is a 2.5 mm auxiliary mini-jack in the center console for use with an external MP3 player. Also available is a USB port (located in the center console) that allows for the easy connection of an iPod®, iPhone® or a memory stick storage device. When used with compatible iPod® and iPhone® models, the USB connection allows the display of iPod® content information on the audio system head unit as well as provides charging power for the auxiliary device. Control of the iPod® is via the audio head unit for convenience.
The audio system includes as standard an XM® Radio receiver, which provides more than 130 channels of digital program material with near-CD quality sound. A display provides informational text on the XM® program material. XM® Radio provides virtually uninterrupted coverage across the 48 contiguous United States as well as coverage in select Canadian cities. XM® Radio service for Alaska and Hawaii does not exist at this time. Three months of complimentary XM® Radio service is provided with RDX models. Afterwards, a monthly subscription is required to continue XM® service.
Large controls make the audio system easy to operate, and the center dash display clearly shows system operating settings. The sound system sends a total of 360-watts of power through seven audio channels. A 6.7-inch Kevlar-cone Neodymium-magnet speaker is positioned in each door and a pair of 1-inch aluminum-dome Neodymium-magnet tweeters are located near the A-pillars to provide clear and detailed sound imaging. An 8-inch Ferrite-magnet subwoofer is positioned within a specially-tuned enclosure (to improve low frequency sound linearity) in the right side of the cargo area.
Speed-sensitive Volume Compensation
For optimum sound regardless of vehicle speed, the audio system includes automatic Speed-sensitive Volume Compensation (SVC). SVC adjusts audio volume based on vehicle speed to compensate for continually increasing or decreasing external background sounds in the RDX. The result of SVC is transparent operation and a more consistent perceived sound level regardless of vehicle speed. SVC is standard on both the RDX Premium audio system and RDX with Technology Package.
10-speaker Acura/ELS Surround® Premium Audio system WITH 6-CD/DVD-Audio changer
A key part of the RDX's available Technology Package is a 10-speaker Acura/ELS Surround® Premium Audio System with multi-format 6-disc DVD-Audio changer. The Acura/ELS Surround® Premium Audio System adds a dramatic dimension to the automotive audio experience. Engineered by multi-time Grammy® award-winning recording engineer/producer Elliot Scheiner, Panasonic and Acura, the 410-watt surround system reaches new levels of clarity and definition to provide a highly accurate listening experience. When playing DVD-Audio discs, the system provides 500-times improved clarity (versus traditional CD clarity) through a total of six discrete audio channels.
Head Unit
Like the standard Acura Premium Sound audio system, the Acura/ELS Surround® Premium Audio System is remarkably versatile. The 6-disc in-dash changer can play CD, CD-R/RW, CD-Text, and MP3/WMA discs. In addition, it can also play DVD-Audio discs (the system will not play DVD movies, DVD-Video or DVD-R/RW). The system also includes an AM/FM radio tuner along with XM® Radio. An easily accessible AUX input jack with nearby 12-volt power makes it simple to connect a personal music player to the system. A USB port allows for easy connection of mobile audio items such as an iPod®, iPhone® or a "memory stick" mass storage device. The USB connection allows the display of iPod® content information on the audio system head unit as well as provides charging power for the auxiliary device. Control of the iPod® is via the audio head unit.
Acura/ELS® Surround Sound
Acura/ELS Surround® Sound is included as part of the RDX with Technology Package. The system gets its name from Elliot Scheiner's recording industry-recognized moniker "ELS." Scheiner's goal was to tune, capture and reproduce music the way it is heard in the recording studio. Vehicle noise aside, the defined space of an automotive interior is an excellent setting to achieve studio sound, since the positions of the passengers and speakers and the acoustics of the interior surfaces are known.
In addition to the accurate reproduction of music from two-channel sources, the Acura/ELS Surround® system features DVD-Audio playback and a discrete multi-channel surround sound experience. By featuring discrete multi-channel, the system can reproduce six independent channels of audio source material, creating sound that truly surrounds the listener- a dramatic change from standard automotive audio systems where only two channels (left and right) are available. The key to a discrete surround experience is the extra data on the DVD-Audio disc. Even when not playing DVD-Audio discs in Acura/ELS Surround® Sound, the system delivers a remarkable listening experience.
Uniquely engineered equalization for each media type allows the sound quality to be optimized regardless of whether the system plays a conventional CD, XM® Radio or any other format. The audio system also features selectable Dolby Pro Logic II signal processing that creates simulated 5.1-channel surround sound from CD, MP3/WMA, XM®, or AUX inputs.
Note Feature for XM® Radio
The RDX's audio system includes the Note feature for XM® Radio which is designed to be a convenience for owners who want to make notes of songs heard on XM®. With the touch of a button, the Note function for XM® Radio records the current song title and artist name in text form, along with a short audio excerpt of the song. The Note function captures up to 10 seconds of each selected song and can store a total of 30 song excerpts for later playback. Thus, if the RDX driver likes a particular song or artist, it's easy to note and refer back to the song for later consideration.
Amplification/Speaker System
The Acura/ELS Premium Sound® audio system uses a 24-bit D/A converter, and it is the first production sound system to use a digital 96 kHz sample rate for smoother sound. Advanced electronics in the system gave Elliot Scheiner the ability to precisely tune the acoustics of each speaker along with the timing of each of six audio channels to achieve the truest possible sound reproduction.
Nine of the 10 speakers in the RDX with Technology Package use a high-energy Neodymium magnet (subwoofer uses a Ferrite magnet) for unparalleled sound quality and drastically reduced weight. There is a 6.7-inch mid/low-range dual thickness polypropylene-cone speaker in each door and a 1-inch soft-dome tweeter near each A-pillar. A center channel 2.75-inch mid-range polypropylene-cone speaker is centered on top of the instrument panel, and the left and right two channel satellite speakers (the same as the center speaker) are positioned just behind the second-row seats- positioned high and angled into the interior. A Super Low Distortion 8-inch diameter subwoofer is powered by a separate 100-watt amplifier and is positioned in a specially-tuned enclosure located on the right sidewall of the rear cargo area. The special subwoofer enclosure helps to provide rich, deep bass without intruding on passenger room or the cargo space.
All RDX models feature standard Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® hands-free telephone interface that is designed to work with most Bluetooth®-enabled mobile telephones (sold separately). Bluetooth® is a radio frequency-based cable replacement technology that lets portable devices (such as mobile telephones, PDAs, and laptop computers) communicate wirelessly. The RDX system is compatible with Bluetooth®-enabled cell phones that have the Hands Free Profile (HFP). Some early Bluetooth®-enabled phones do not have this communications protocol. After the driver completes a one-time pairing process, the RDX will communicate wirelessly and securely with the driver's cellular telephone. The phone needs to be on, but it can be stowed in a pocket, briefcase, purse, or anywhere inside the RDX cabin.
Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® allows the driver to send or answer telephone calls without removing hands from the steering wheel. When a call comes in, the telephone number of the incoming caller is displayed on the Multi-Information Display (MID) located in the speedometer face. In addition, a telephone ring tone is played over the audio system. If the driver chooses to answer the call, a press of the "Pick up" button (located at the eight o'clock position of the steering wheel) mutes the audio system and the incoming caller is heard over the audio system speakers. An overhead microphone picks up the driver's voice. Algorithms built into the Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® system cancel "echo effect" and reduce background noise to improve the transmission quality of the driver's speech.
To send a call hands-free, the driver can dial the number by voice to activate the system. The driver also can store frequently called numbers with voice tags in the system's address book. Up to six different compatible mobile telephones can be paired with the Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® system at one time. Additional information can be found at www.acura.com/handsfreelink or www.handsfreelink.com.
AcuraLink® Satellite Communication System
The RDX with Technology Package comes with the latest generation of the AcuraLink® Satellite Communication System that allows for 2-way communication between Acura and the vehicle- allowing customers access to the latest information specific to their vehicle. In cases where communication to and from the Acura Telematics server is needed, the owner's Bluetooth®-compatible cellular telephone is used (once the owner has paired it with the vehicle, enabled its data-transmission function and agreed to the data charges from their cellular phone service provided).
AcuraLink® messages consist of text displayed on the navigation screen plus full details via Text-To-Speech that can be heard over the RDX audio system. Each AcuraLink® message is prioritized by importance and high priority messages are displayed immediately upon receipt. Other messages trigger an icon on the navigation screen. Some low priority messages display during vehicle start-up to avoid distractions. In all cases, the RDX owner can choose to read the message immediately, or archive the message to be read later.
A variety of AcuraLink® messages can be sent to the RDX, including Maintenance Minder™ (detailed information regarding the next required maintenance), Quick Tips (information to help maximize the benefit and enjoyment of RDX features), Feature Guide (supplements to the Owner's Manual), Diagnostic Info (detailed information and instruction should an onboard system issue arise), information regarding a service or repair required as well as service appointment reminders. The RDX owner has complete control over the types of messages received and all AcuraLink® preferences can be set via the Owner Link® website.
Since the system allows 2-way data communication between the RDX and the Acura Telematics Server, AcuraLink® can provide the driver with vital information that previously has been unavailable. For example, if an ABS/BRAKE warning light were to appear on the RDX instrument panel, AcuraLink® would automatically send a trouble code to the Acura Telematics Server (if a linked-phone is in range and the user has authorized data transmission), which would interpret the code and then sends a message back to the RDX (for example, "ABS and EBD shut down! Drive slowly. Avoid sudden hard braking.") With this important information, the RDX driver knows if a particular issue is serious enough to cancel a trip, if it can be dealt with later or if it requires special driving techniques.

AcuraLink Real-Time Traffic with Traffic Rerouting™
With AcuraLink Real-Time Traffic with Traffic Rerouting™, the RDX's navigation screen can display continually updated traffic information including traffic flow, accidents and construction on freeways in 77 major metropolitan areas. The information is part of the XM NavTraffic® feature (aggregated by NAVTEQ™ from multiple sources including police and highway patrol accident reports and transportation departments). It's transmitted by XM® satellites to the vehicle where it is graphically displayed on the RDX's navigation screen with a zoom scale ranging between 1/20-mile to 5-mile increments.
To see details or select traffic incidents, the RDX owner can click on an icon on the map by pushing "Enter" on the interface dial. The RDX driver can avoid congestion en route and choose the fastest path to their destination with traffic information that is continuously updated. The system displays traffic incidents, determines average traffic speed and estimates travel time along the chosen route. It can automatically recalculate results as factors change. Plus, the XM NavTraffic® technology alerts drivers of scheduled traffic incidents such as construction and road closures, plus unscheduled incidents such as accidents and disabled vehicles.
When traffic congestion or road incidents are detected along the selected drive route entered into the navigation system, Traffic Rerouting™ can automatically recalculate a detour route and display a pop-up box signifying the route change. Alternately, the driver can recalculate a route in manual mode simply by selecting "TRAFFIC INCIDENTS" from the Map Info menu followed by selecting the "AVOID" command relevant to an incident.
AcuraLink Real-Time Traffic with Traffic Rerouting™ gives RDX owners a useful time saving tool on freeways. AcuraLink Real-Time Traffic™ is offered on a subscription basis for a monthly fee following a 3-month free trial period. In addition to the on-screen traffic information, RDX owners who maintain their XM® Radio service also receive more general audio traffic information that runs on a 2-3 minute loop in 77 major metropolitan areas.

System Operation
Based on positioning data from up to 12 orbiting Global Positioning Satellites (GPS), the Acura Navigation System with Voice Recognition™ locates the vehicle's position. If the GPS antenna is blocked by an item such as a tunnel, tall building or parking garage, an internal gyroscopic system and a speed sensor track the location of the vehicle to help keep the mapping information current and reliable until satellite reception is restored. A DVD database is located in the system's computer and updated DVD data discs are available for purchase on an annual basis at www.acura.com or by calling 888-549-3798.
The navigation system can be controlled by voice or by the interface dial. For voice operation, the driver simply presses the "Talk" button on the steering wheel and says any of a number of preset command phrases. The voice command system responds to 100,000 words as well as to 1.7 million city and street names. This advanced voice recognition system simply allows the RDX owner to completely route to their destination by only using voice commands and speaking the city and street names aloud.
When the "Talk" button is pressed, the audio system is automatically muted, and an overhead microphone receives the voice command from the driver. Commands can be given in plain English such as: "Display gas stations," "Find nearest hospital," or "Find nearest Chinese restaurant." You can choose to display points of interest on the map (like restaurants or ATMs), or have the system provide turn-by-turn navigation - all by done by voice command. The extensive point-of-interest database includes telephone numbers, which can be easily dialed using the Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® system and a paired, compatible Bluetooth® cellular telephone.
The Acura Navigation System with Voice Recognition™ and AcuraLink Real-Time Traffic™ can also be controlled via the Interface Dial by choosing menu options or spelling out a word (e.g., an address, business name or place). The interface dial functions much like a computer pointing device, allowing characters and items to be selected from the on-screen display.
The ideal complement to AcuraLink Real-Time Traffic™ is the RDX's integrated AcuraLink Real-Time Weather™. In difficult driving conditions, AcuraLink Real-Time Weather™ can provide an up-to-date weather picture.
Key features
- Professional grade weather information provided by Baron Services, Inc.

AcuraLink Real-Time Weather™ was co-developed with XM NavWeather® to provide a personal weather tracking system for area specific, continually updated weather conditions between your current location and your final destination. The system focuses on the specific weather on your personal drive route, rather than just offering general weather conditions for a region. AcuraLink Real-Time Weather™ information is continuously updated and is delivered to the vehicle navigation system via the RDX's built-in XM™ receiver.
AcuraLink Real-Time Weather™ technology is enhanced for specific travel conditions in 21 specific major metropolitan areas. The information focuses on identifying potential weather threats along with current and future forecast weather conditions. The navigation screen displays current weather conditions in an easy-to-read format. By moving the RDX's navigation system cursor to the desired location on the map you can obtain weather info for a specific location. Press the "Enter" button and information regarding your current location will return.
Unique Threat Matrix Technology within AcuraLink Real-Time Weather™ generates prompts with specific icons (within 46 different categories) that inform the driver if the vehicle is headed into oncoming severe weather- such as a developing snow storm, ice, wind shear or an area covered by a tornado warning. Based on this advance information, the RDX driver can choose to reroute before encountering the severe weather. When the display is zoomed out to reveal the entire United States, a weather radar image map shows current weather patterns across the entire country. AcuraLink Real-Time Weather™ offers 1- or 3-day weather forecasts for specific areas of the United States.
Weather data is provided by Baron Services, Inc., which deciphers a complex array of National Weather Service information to produce the weather information provided to Acura owners. RDX owners receive a complementary 3-month trial subscription that delivers AcuraLink Real-Time Weather™ along with AcuraLink Real-Time Traffic™ and XM® Radio. After the complementary subscription expires, AcuraLink Real-Time Weather™ is available by monthly subscription. In addition, it can be obtained in combination with AcuraLink Real-Time Traffic™ and/or XM® Radio- or as a combined package of all three features on a monthly subscription basis.

Vs Szayel
Szayel sends some disturbing thing from the floor which wraps around Ishida
Ishida's body seems unaffected
But now Szayel has a cute Ishida doll.
If the doll is cut Ishida does not get cut but if he stabs it with a pin Ishida feels the pain.
Ishida "What is this??"
The doll is filled with parts of Ishida.
One of those parts is his stomach
When Szayel damages this part Ishida vomits blood.
The scene changes, Nell and Nnoitra sensei point swords at each other.
Noi "Why did you stop pointing your sword?"
Nel "You also."
Eh he did it from memory so isn't sure if some of the dialogue is correct.
Chapter summary from Danna posted at FLOL:
edit: Next week we will have Nel's flashbackQuote: Originally Posted by Danna

Thanks to Drake from pantip as always
Szayel used his wing to wrapped around the upper body of Ishida only to released him a moment after. One of the protrusion on his wing was swollen until its exploded. A doll that looked like Ishida landed into Szayel's hand. Renji worried about Ishida 'cause he's afraid that Ishida's concious was moved into the doll.
However, Ishida was still the same as usaul. Szayel played the doll as if it's real Ishida. "Thanks Ishida-kun. But your role as Ishida-kun is over. From now on 'this guy' will be Ishida" His five senses was controlled by this voodoo doll. Iniside the doll is filled with small pieces of something. When Szael picked the piece with had "estomago" written on it and crushed it into bits. Ishida vomited black bood clots from his mouth and groaned painfully. While Renji was going to attack the espada, another wing of Szayel wrapped around Renji from behind.
The scene changed, the fight between Nel and Nnoitra continued. Suddenly, they stopped the sword at each other faces.
"Why did you stop?" The Spoon asked
"and what's about you?" Nel replied with a challenging smile.
"Are you blind? I stopped 'cause I saw you stop" Nnoitra scolded. "This is annoying. It reminds me of the time when I fought with you."
"After all, you didn't change from that time for sure"

yeah, i hope nell's past is revealed next week, tired of this pointless fighting between characters.
man that picture gives it all away....its quite obvious who dies.
jk......but i can guess that ishida and chad and renji will beat number 10

Cory Schneider gives his trade thoughts to TSN
Patrick Johnston
June 30 2013 06:40PM
TSN host James Duthie, who first reported on the trade and - apparently - also told Cory Schneider about the trade, spoke with Schneider via phone on Sunday afternoon.
Schneider spoke fondly of his time in the Canucks organization, his relationship with Roberto Luongo and 'hoped' that Luongo would continue to be the excellent goalie for the Canucks that he'd always been.
Transcript of Schneider's comments after the jump.
Duthie first asked about Schneider's reaction to all of a sudden being moved when all the speculation had been that Lu would be making way:
It was pretty stunning; in this business you know you are always in the mix, you are always fair game. I really felt that having spent my entire career there, having been in the organization a long time, I was hoping to spend the rest of my career in Vancouver and when I signed the extension. But circumstances changed, the cap came down, the salary cap re-capture stuff sort of changed the dynamics of the market. It's one of those things where unfortunately it came down to this. So while I'm sad to leave a place like Vancouver, a great hockey city, I'm also excited to be joining New Jersey. They're a great organization.
Duthie suggests that it was he who informed Schneider about the trade, then asks him about his initial reaction:
It was, I was just sort of speechless. Ever since we acquired Lui, I think in 2006 – I was still a prospect – every trade deadline and every draft I was supposed to be traded. So for ever and ever, it was 'you're goint to get traded'. For the last year I thought, Ok, maybe this is the year I wouldn't be traded; you don't know how to react when it finally happens, you don't know what to say or think. The more it kicks in, the more excited I am about this new opportunity. Being from the east coast and ot move back east, be closer to family and friends, it'll be a great thing. Again the Devils have had a lot of success the last twenty years so I'm excited to become a part of that.
Any worreis about Brodeur's successor?
No I don't think so. Again, being in a market like Vancouver, trying to replace a guy like Roberto Luongo is a tall task; it comes with a lot of pressure. This will as well, Marty has clearly been probably the best goalie to ever play the game. I don't think anybody can necessarily come in and replace what he's done for that franchise. I 'm just going to come in and try to be me, be the player, the best player in the organization. I'm looking forward to working with Marty, not many goalies early in their career can work with both Roberto Luongo and Brodeur. You'd be considered pretty lucky I think.Now that it's over – can put the bizarre sequence of events it's been into words?
It was just a starnge year in general, with the lockout, a short season, nothing really felt normal, throughout all this he was super supportive and helpful, just wanted the best for me and his career, it's nice to have a resolution I guess and move on, to go and move on with your career. I'm hopefully that he'll go and come back with Vancouver and be the goalie we all know he can. I owe a lot to him in terms of how I was handled in my development and in this league, hopefully we'll remain friends.Spoken with Luongo today?
Little bit ya, it was suprising to both of us; he's been waiting to be traded for the last year and sort of had one foot out the door and then told 'you're not'; that takes some getting used to. But again, like I said, he's been a true professional throughout this whole thing and I'm sure he'll find a way to, like I said, continue playing at a high level.
How did Duthie find out and let him know via text before anyone at the Canucks could? Someone in Canucks management would have known before Duthie did, so why didn't they do the classy thing and call/text him ahead of time before anyone else did?
Or did Duthie get it wrong?
Nucks owner actually flew down to FLA and told Lu about it just before they announced the trade. Pretty impressive on the part of the Canucks.
As an Oilers fan I come as a friend not to troll. I think there is an overwhelming sigh of relief that Gillis backed outta the deal. I am amazed he did. I think Schneider is a slight upgrade on Dubby now and projects to be better over ime.
I read the words of Loungo talking about Schneider and that he was the goalie stylistically, and technically that he wasn't. Its hard to compare goalies and I don't know the metics in involved in goalie evaluation. On paper arguement one can be made Dubby and Schneider are comparables, and subjectively I think an educated fan can see simply how much better Schneider is in terms of skill, speed, and technical ability. However someone point out the difference of goalies based on entire season with complete disreguard of the swiss cheeze defence corps Dubby had and the fact Schneider had one of best defensive units, is about 13 goals. One can estimate that being 4 or 5 more wins. Thats significant. Gillis would of closed the gap between the Oil and Canucks, however I am.glad he did not. The return was an insane overpayment. The arguement could be made about the Varlamov return was more, but the was a stupid in the future trade that backfired. I think Schneider was worth a top 10-15 pick. This was a good draft. You guys got a top six forward in Horvat who played tough comps and excelled, and was an OHL playoff MVP. Playoff MVP's are like Taylor Hall. The kids big and competes. Enjoy.
Calgary's screw up in leaving Shinkaruk for you guys is bewildering. Send Feaster a thank you card
The Canucks are so stupid. They trade Neely, they piss off Bure, they now trade a potential all star young goalie. With moves like those, you can bet we will never see a cup here ever. At least the Grizzlies stunk and moved away, the Canucks just keep hanging around here like a puss filled deep pimple on a humid day.
@Ivan Drago
Funny, I didn't see the owner fly over to Luo's place after the Boston final melt downs. Just cause the guy's got money don't mean he knows the hockey game. Owner was too cheap to buy him out and too stupid to fire the person who gave out that fat contract that started this mess long ago...and that would be Sweaty Gillis.

Skip to comments.Morse Scrambles to Fight Recall by Calling on Help from Boston, San Francisco (Colorado Gun Grabber)
Posted on 06/19/2013 2:57:31 PM PDT by george76
DENVER Senate President John Morse issued a national plea for help to out-of-state supporters from Boston to San Francisco as Colorado Democrats went on the offensive Tuesday to save him from a recall vote.
A spokeswoman for A Whole Lot of People for John Morse announced Tuesday that a protest had been filed to nullify the recall petitions within hours after the Colorado Secretary of States office declared that the petitions were sufficient to force a recall election.
Meanwhile, Morse urged out-of-state supporters to help him keep his Colorado Springs legislative seat by donating their money and time.
[A]ny help that you can give us in fundraising or in volunteering, even from around the country, truthfully, said Morse in a video message. We can get phone lists to you and things like that and have you help from Boston, Massachusetts, or from San Francisco, California. So thanks for all that youve done so far and thanks for all that youre going to do as we move forward to take on this tiger.
The message, posted Monday on the Facebook page A Whole Lot of People for John Morse, underscores the national prominence of the recall fight, which is being viewed as a referendum on gun rights.
Paul Paradis, one of the recall organizers, accused Morse of trying to combat the will of those living in the Colorado Springs district with out-of-state interest groups.
Hes trying to get other states to run this district, pure and simple, said Paradis. We want someone whos going to represent our side of town, not Los Angeles, not New York.
(Excerpt) Read more at thecoloradoobserver.com ...
That's sort of like a serial rapist-murderer asking Ted Bundy to be a character witness.
Morse voted for San Franciscos values - now wants their money. NYC Bloomberg's cash , too.
Colorado Ping ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)
Thanks for the ping, beaversmom.
Morse is squirming and sweating. Gotta love it.
He'll get help from the Obama people a lot quicker than the guys in Benghazi.
It'd be ironic if his calling for out of state help actually hurts him instead of helping him, and it just may.
Funny he isn't asking for help from his own district.
Fire his ass!
Here's the thing...and I heard this today. He's not supposed to run again in the next election...he already said that months ago. So if he begs for massive sums of cash to support this recall defeat....it's money flushed down the toilet. If I were the Democrats....I'd ration the money and feed it to the next Democratic guy running.
One less rat face anti gun nut. Lets hope they dump him.
He may get a Chris Dodd waitress sandwich type deal $$ and go quietly so that the DUmmies can run someone else.
Good point. Let's hope the rats don't follow your advice. LOL
I read the entire article and still don't understand WHY Morse is being recalled.
I assume he's some sort of a lefty??
I well remember the recall of the governor — and before that 3 California Supreme Court Justices — in my home state of California (Gray "Gumby" Davis), how he stamped his feet and tried to get the petitions invalidated, fortunately, at that time, there was still a modicum of sense and the courts saw fit to follow the rule of law.
The bastard was ousted, as were the 3 lefty Supreme Court Justices, namely Rose Bird.
"Paul Paradis, one of the recall organizers, accused Morse of trying to combat the will of those living in the Colorado Springs district with out-of-state interest groups"
That's the first thing I noticed - he's representing the left wing moonbats in NY and San Fran.
Go get this snake, Coloradans. Send him back to the fruitcake liberals in New York.
Add me to your list please.
Maybe New Yorkie Dooomberg can swing by with his gun grabbing bus tour and yap & yip for Morse.
LOL-Well said!
Done. Thanks
Morse is the Senate President in Colorado. He is a Pelosi clone who rammed through horrid gun control. He refused to let sheriffs testify, they were against the magazine ban and other bills.
The gun grab got national attention. His other agenda items were as bad or worse.
The MSM claim he is "popular" in his district, but he is not. He barely won election last time.
John, y'all are like to get 'et.
Can't let The Little People think that they run their own district.
Democrats went on a bill-passing spree this year after gaining control of both chambers in November, pushing through a spate of controversial measures that included an overhaul of the states election system; an income tax credit for DUmmies who dont pay income taxes, and drivers licenses and in-state tuition for illegal immigrants.
Many of the most divisive bills were approved with no Republican votes, including the three gun-control measures. Gun-rights advocates filed signatures this month to recall two Democrats, Sens. Angela Giron of Pueblo and John Morse of Colorado Springs.
Time and time again this session, they pursued a partisan agenda without seeking any cooperation from Republicans or soliciting any input from the Colorado families and business owners their actions will harm the most, said Waller.
While knocking Morse out of his seat would be a huge initial victory for gun rights, dont be mistaken, as this will be a tough fight.
—Morse is squirming and sweating. Gotta love it.
Maybe New Yorkie Dooomberg can swing by with his gun grabbing bus tour and yap & yip for Morse-—.
Funny you said that. This is from an email I just received:
"Billionaire anti-gun Mayor Michael Bloomberg and his gun-grabbing friends will pour hundreds of thousands of dollars to defend their puppet in the Senate.
Even worse, should the recall against Senator Morse succeed, the Democrats rumored candidate to replace Morse is another Bloomberg stooge who was the Colorado director for Mayors Against Illegal Guns, former State Rep. Mike Merrifield".
Morse also is on record telling Dem senators to ignore phone calls and e-mail from constituents. IMHO the most dastardly thing he did.
He and his supporters will be the first to howl, whine, moan and complain when out of staters help his opponent.
Someone with the expertise should put up a website or FB page, A Whole Lot of Furiners for John Morse. (For those of you outside the borders, thats a typical pronunciation of foreigner. Just as Coors is pronounced Curz.)
Good idea. And a TV commercial.
Damned furiners, anyway.
We're about to see millions of furiners.
Could be. I wouldn't put anything past them.
Makes it easier to paint Morse as a Dingbatburg stooge (which he is) in the election. Our side should run against the leftist outsider Blooomie who is Morse's boss. Inform the voters big time.
Even worse, should the recall against Senator Morse succeed, the Democrats rumored candidate to replace Morse is another Bloomberg stooge who was the Colorado director for Mayors Against Illegal Guns, former State Rep. Mike Merrifield.
I heard. If the Dumbs do this, Merrifield is going to have to run in 2014 as I hear he plans to do anyways.
Play up that Merrifield = another Morse or worse in 2014 and Bloomberg stooge.
{Sorry about the messy post I sent you}.
Makes it easier to paint Morse as a Dingbatburg stooge (which he is) in the election. Our side should run against the leftist outsider Blooomie who is Morse's boss. Inform the voters big time.
You're right.
Good point
That alone ought to disqualify him from ever serving in any further public capacity again in Colorado.
yeah, let him see just one NRA check!
Good points. I like the way you think.
Very interesting... I notice he is not asking for help from Houston, Texas, or Tulsa, Oklahoma... wonder why... Hmmm...
You are welcome LP! Hope this stands and they allow things to proceed.
Sad, but true!
He's toast!
Oh LP, I like your positive thinking!!!
"Live and learn."
I'll tell you what...I love it.
Howdy, neighbor!
Huh? You are on FReepublic.com, and somehow missed about dozens of articles regarding the RATs pushing through their anti-gun laws in Colorado with Morse leading the way?
BTW, there were recall elections in WI for the past two years, from petulant RATs seeking to overturn Gov Scott Walker & his reforms, including reforms against unions tyranny.
Just fyi in case you missed it as well.
Well, that's what working 60+ hours a week does to you, I guess.
Anything else?

Comments: I have 4 of these, easily one of my favorite glide baits along with the gancraft s song.it has a smooth side to side butter like glide to it, kill it and it goes nose down like a feeding gill, give it a few jerks n twitches and she begins to bolt and glide through the water.I have had HUGE muskie attack these to small dinks the same size as the bait, and while in florida I caught 3 snakeheads on these.they r pricey but worth it, they are a solid well built quality lure that will last for time to come
From: Steveo: USA
Comments: This is by far one of my favorite swim baits. It is a nice size, and has a great s-wave to it. I caught a nice hog on this thing last weekend. It swims great, looks great in the water, and while it is 60 bucks, i think it is worth every penny.

Something else that happened to cross my mind. I hope we get to see Sasuke Sarutobi in these flashbacks. It will probably be when Hashirama is older and making allies but would be cool to see.
Perhaps Madara and Izuna killed their brothers in order to get the mangekyo in the first place? Or someone else close to them. They had to awaken their mangekyo somehow. And that was never explained.
I wonder if the reason the senju surname is dead is because they decided it was best for the clan to take on different surnames. Maybe hashirama instituted that so that the senju clan wouldnt be targeted if the village were to fall. Hashirama was around for the birth of the Sannin and all three don't carry surnames it seems.
The data book is woefully inaccurate and inconsistent. It's been the culprit of many timeline fails in doscussions around here. It's basically on the level of anime filler scripted by the interns. Kakkuzu, in the manga, was a villain.. a cool and calculated sort with the modus of a more refined bad guy... getting money. It's the guise of the neutral bounty hunter that seemimgly secures his innocence up front but he is a grizzly murderer underneath his lucky part of "businessman".
Thank you POW, ive been asking about sarutobi's dad for months. Seems the manga might be poised to make something of it.
The shinobi style of engagement in these flashbacks is a far cry from the tactics employed by later village era shinobi. Squads dont appear defined by premeditated roles, gennin level kids in the thick of the brutality, worst of all, medical jutsu is decades away!
Anyone curious as i am about tobirama's authorative vocal presence? We have seen him exclaim at hashirama and now their dad and each time he received their obedience! The "chakra spiking" a couple chapters ago leads me to believe he was opening gates. The senju durability would suit that very well (not to mention edo durability, lol!).
And we still havent received further acknowledgement from minato's deductions which attributed both tobirama and madara as space time users (high level ones at that!)
A sharingan was used against itama, that means his thoughts, knowledge, memories are all available to the uchiha surrounding him. If madara or his family were linked to itama's death then hashirama would likely have been noticed in the genjutsu. It may be why madara can understand hashirama as well as even wanting to.
Another tidbit about the stone throwing: i realized today that on top of all we know it to be on symbol or metaphor or what have you, it's also a calculated illustration of madara WITHOUT sharingam! the accompanying idea to the stone throwing 's primary meaning is a stress thst madara did not copy the stone throwing with the sharingan. If sevetal years ago we saw this with sasuke and naruto we wpuld all be saying sasuke copied naruto skipping his stone!
The stone skipping has made a nicely done package of many things kishi wants to convey. Madara's unwoken sharingan also behaves as a reminder he is still innocent, kishi is indirectly but very intentionally tieing this to hashirama referring to sasuke as a pure uchiha child. Sasuke has reached the same point as madara when he began decent into darkness amd will ne hashirama's second chance.
P.s. the death of itama pages shows the 5 uchiha from behind, two of the hair styles could pass for izuna amd that group would likely have then been madara's 4 brothers and their father.
Madara saying "had 4 brothers" could also be figurative, dealing with very deep rooted and painful disagreements, exactly as hashirama had with his father. Madara obviously has innocent ideals and not seeing "eye to eye" with his brothets would serve "had 4 brothers". He sees the hypocritic handling of love that just leads to more death.
I also just realized that "hidden leaf" is play on hashirama and madara's signatures
When you conceptually cross the "uchiha fan" with "hashirama's mokuton" you get.... a leaf!
It is consistent with what Tobirama said some previous chapters ago. That none treasured love more than the Uchiha. And that the trauma of loosing it is what triggered the sharingan. So, it isn't until they loose love that they are consumed with hate.
Oh nice, Madara's last words in this chapter, might also mean that Hashirama is no longer alone with his beliefs of peace through alliance and understanding.
It's quite possible that the Sarutobi took Uchiha's side in the war before the village was formed. Remember that the leader of the rebellion, gave his son that name of a legendary Sarutobi, not to mention that the Sarutobi are almost as skilled in Fire jutsu ad the Uchihas are.
The hair of Hashirama's youngest brother, reminds of the hair that the previous 8-tail jinchurki had.
Kawarama might have been one of Hashirama's brothers, seeing as it is Hashirama's family that cries over his grave.
The secret spot that the brothers are meeting at, might be the Humid Bone Forest. You can notice that the place at which they are, have a completely different trees and some of them do look a little like bones.
Anyway, the image cleanup in both mangapanda and mangashare have their unique quirks that stand out after compression. One is blurry and the other shows saturated blacks (blobby filter). It was hard to make out the background and trees to discern humid bone forest.
Here look at the bottom left panel and the next page:
Kishi specifically gave out one panel of one tree and one full page of a different background, so that the readers would notice this. Since it is presented to be really different from all other sceneries in this chapter, it is most likely important. It almost seems as the place they hang out, is almost like a place from a different climate zone. It's possible that they have used reverse summoning to get there. Anyway, it does seem like their secret hideout since there are no adults there, while they bash the adult's behavior and believes, suggesting that they are safe from their ears.
It is possible that the river (Madara's and Hashirama's special? place) is how originally the place of VOTE looked like. It was Hashirama that pulled out Madara from the location near the village, so he might have chosen that spot as their final confrontation.
Also the Mangastream translation of young Hashirma-Madara was hilarious "Your ego is just so big you have a god complex"
This Hagorormo clan I'm curious about. I'm sure everyone noticed the armor looks very similar to Cloud village shinobi. According to translations "The word "Hagoromo" (羽衣) literally means "angel's raiment" or with regards to birds, refer to their wings or plumage. "
The angle bird connection to the sky or clouds could mean they are he founders of the Cloud and the Raikage's ancestors.
Also apparently their symbol was in the flash back from several chapters ago.
All we know is they opposed the Senju clan like the Uchiha who did so later. This suggest the Senju clans skills made them a target of other clans even at this time.
I hope we get to see some of the other clans like the ancient Hyuuga, Nara, Akamichi, Yamanaka & defiantly Sarutobi.

- If you use a blanket, ensure it is tucked around the sides of the crib mattress and covers your baby only up to the chest.

Essential Tips for Hair Growth
by CurlStylist on Tuesday, March 18th, 2014
This false illusion that curly to excessively curly women experience first hand is the shrunken halo of hair that appears like it's never growing, or moving beyond a certain point.Misconception……..or is it ? We all know that curly hair is dry hair. Why you ask ? Well, we all produce natural oil from our scalps, however due to the nature of curls or coils twisting & turning around & around, sometimes even zig zagging, the oil just can't hold on for the ride. As a result of this, the mid-shaft & ends never receive that natural goodness, leading to dry parched hair. This often times leads to split ends, which later results in breakage. This is what usually draws the conclusion that hair isn't growing. let's just put this fact out there. Everyone's hair grows! Whatever growth happened is usually negated by the breaking at the ends, therefore the hair will not pass that treasured landmark we have on our bodies, affectionately known as the chin , shoulders & oh yeah the Rocky Balboa of landmarks…..#brastraplength!
HELP YOU SAY! I can certainly enlighten you. Here is my 2 cents, if you will. I really want you to pay attention to to what I'm about to lay on you. You'll wonder where I've been all your life. All jokes aside, let's get to the root of things (no pun, seriously) . We'll call this the Michelle's hair growth boot camp essentials.
1. Use shampoos without sulfates. Sulfates dry the hair out leading to even more dryness & you know what I told you about that!
2. Don't wash excessively. Remember we are in desperate need of moisture. Let's stick to no more that 2-3 times a week. I highly recommend a co-wash or conditioning wash. This is basically a conditioner with cleansing properties.
3. Deep condition at least once a week. A hooded dryer or a warm towel wrapped around the head will help the conditioner to penetrate the hair deeper. Think about warm water when washing your face. It opens the pores right? Well warmth will open the cuticles in the hair. Get it? Oh yeah, whine your at it , a scalp massage wouldn't hurt either. It'll increase the blood flow.
4. Get a protein treatment around once a month, more than that if necessary. This helps restore the strength to the hair. When we color, flat iron , blow dry & do anything that decreases the strength, we have to put back in what we've depleted. Kinda like when we go in our savings account. I won't tell.
5. Use a protective covering over your hair, like a satin bonnet. I know that you're giving me the side eye right now, but just hear me out. You can also get your sexy on and make it a satin pillow case. You see standard cotton pillow cases absorb moisture out of the hair. Satin will not do that. The hair will slide around on satin & keep all your due diligence intact. Make satin your hair's new BFF.
6. Moisture, moisture moisture ! That's my nod to the Brady bunch. Every day before you walk out of the house, grace your tresses with a moisturizing hair dress or essential oil. Steer clear of silicones, petrolatum & mineral oil. You want penetrating oils, not substances that sit on top of your hair.
7. limit your use of heat, and on those occasions, do not forget to use a thermal protector. This includes blow dryers & irons, not hooded dryers or warm towel which are essential to deep conditioning. Daily heat use can contribute to heat damage. Heat damage= poor elasticity. Poor elasticity= weak hair . Weak hair= breakage.
8. Last but not least, get your hair trimmed regularly! YES, don't wine about it. It's necessary. Each hair strand is growing at a different interval. There are three stages of hair growth. Anagen (the growth phase) approximately 85% of all hairs are in the growing phase at any one time. This stage can last from 2-6 years. Then there is Catagen (the transitional phase). This stage lasts for about two weeks & the hair follicle shrinks to about 1/6 of its normal length. Lastly there is Telogen (the resting phase). 10-15% of hairs are in this phase. During this time of 5-6 weeks the hair doesn't grow, but it stays attached to the follicle. At the end of Telogen the hair follicle re-enters the Anagen phase. If the old hair has not already shed, the new hair pushes the old one out and the growth cycle starts all over again. Sorry I had to get all scientific on you, but I just wanted you to understand that trimming the hair is essential, because at any stage, the thousands of stands of hair on your head are going through different phases. The more uniform you keep those ends the stronger your hair will be. It's like when you see a person with long hair & only 3 strands of it are long . One wrong move with a hairbrush & it's a wrap! Don't do it! . Don't be that girl! In the hair world, there is strength in numbers.
In closing I have one thing to chant …..Rocky, Rocky, Rocky!

Very uncomfortable
"So I noticed that all shiny shoes from DSW are very uncomfortable. There is no way to walk in these sandals. As soon as I put them on it hurt. The back of the shoes cuts into my ankle bone. I literally put my foot in and take the sandals off and there is a sharp white line from where the sandal imprinted on the back of my foot. When I stood in them the front crisscrossed part of the sandal cut into my toes. It's funny because I am between a size 7 1/2 and an 8 and I got these in a size 8. I love the price and the way the shoes looks but I refuse to wear shoes that hurt, there are a lot of sandals out there (the ones that aren't shiny) that are very comfortable, you can even run in them!"

Well, give it a run through. Maybe mine could end up as Warrens instead?
I think I did a pretty good job of converting Hell Keep, though I feel it might have a little too much Hangar in it still.

I just finished a playthrough of it. I enjoyed it, and my only concerns were that, yeah, it did have a little too much Hangar in it at a few points, the difficulty was a bit too high for what would be E1M1, and Cacodemons don't appear in Episode 1. Otherwise, you captured the spirit of Knee-Deep in the Dead perfectly, and I had a blast playing through the map and seeing E3M1 in such a different light! It'd be a shame for it not to get in the project... Perhaps, as you said, it could get in as Warrens if it can't be E1M1. (I'd suggest moving it to E2M1 but that'd require quite a bit of modifying it from how it currently is.)

Anyway, more to the point. I have a question Death Egg: Since my map is [possibly] going to end up as Warrens, should I keep an E3 level of monsters, or still keep it restricted to the e1 monsters?
