I have a feeling your motor won't know the difference.
we can get only 91 and 95 octane fuel, nothing less. its the same price! in the future they are planning to sell only the 95 in austria. should i do a timing adjustment to go with 95 or is it fine like it is?
454 mag
I have a feeling your motor won't know the difference.
wow, thats intresting. so, would you recommend me to go with 91 or 95. as i mentioned - the same price. i always thought: the more octane, the better, but lower octane also has its advantages. and maybe this summer there will be only 95 available. adjusting the ignition point could be necessary. am i wrong?
First thing is to find out how your octane measurement compares to US octane ratings.
ok, that fine, will call him

hope this is correct
Do you know what the compression ratio is on your engines? If it is low to medium, use the 91 octane. If you have a 12.5:1 or blowers, use the high octane.
I bet you do not have high compression with a stock 454 mag. 91 octane in the US is plenty for that motor.
yes, i know that 91 is enough, but i cant get that stuff!!! what happenz when i use 95? i think there is no problem wih it, but maybe i should think about adjusting something to the much higher octane than recommend.
I agree, do this first.
Running higher octane than required won't hurt your engine, it just might lose a little power (very little). Higher octane fuel burns a bit slower, and with a low compression engine you might not get a full burn on the power stroke. Advancing the timing can help if you run into that situation, but personally I wouldn't mess with it.
Griff makes a very good point. Currently in Europe and Australia, the octane number listed at the pump is the Research Octane Number, or (RON). In the US and Canada there is a second octane number, Motor Octane Number, or (MON) that is factored into the octane rating. RON is determined by running the fuel in a test engine with a variable compression ratio under controlled conditions, and comparing these results with those for mixtures of iso-octane and n-heptane. The differences between the RON and MON are a topic for another thread.
In the US and Canada the octane number listed at the pump is the average of the two ratings (RON+MON)/2, known as the Anti-Knock Index (AKI), Road Octane Number (RON), Pump Octane Number (PON), or (R+M)/2.
Because of variable difference in the (MON) number ~ (-8 to-13 points) this means that the octane of United States fuel will rate about 4 to 6.5 points lower than the same fuel in Europe and Australia. Currently 87 octane fuel, the "regular" gasoline in the US and Canada, would be 91-93.5 in Europe.
For example Shell V-Power 99 Octane in Europe (2006 spec) has a (RON) octane of 99 and a (MON) octane of 86. That equates to a US spec of 92.5 octane (R+M)/2.
As a rule of thumb you can use the following formula to get within a 1-2 point window. To be exact you need the product information sheet on the fuel you are currently using and average the (RON+MON)/2.
RON (Euro/Australian) Octane Rating x 0.95 = AKI Octane Rating
91 RON Octane x.0.95 = 86.45 AKI Octane (US measure)
95 RON Octane x 0.95 = 90.25 AKI Octane (US measure)
98 RON Octane x 0.95 = 93.10 AKI Octane (US measure)
100 RON Octane x 0.95 = 95.0 AKI Octane (US measure)
Hope this helps.
Running a magnum motor with too high octane can cost you performance. The ecu keeps adjusting the timing until the sensor hears knock. If the fuel is so "good" the knock sensor never senses a knock it will go into a very conservative low performance timing base mode as if something were wrong. Go with the 91 which is about equal to US 87.

Rotor Mountain Inner Q-Ring
Qrush with Q-Rings
We're starting to see ovalized rings like the Rotor Mountain Inner Q-Ring popping up everywhere, from the local criteriums to the marathon mountain bike race courses, but why? The oblong shape of the Q-Rings lends more leverage to the pedal stroke, extracting more power from your legs and more efficiency at the same time. The effect felt on the bike is a smoothing of the pedal stroke, less exertion to achieve the same speed and power output, and a reduction in that "dead spot" you feel during each rotation.
The Rotor Mountain Inner Q-Ring comes in a 26-tooth version with a BCD of 80, or a 27-tooth version with a (four-arm) BCD of 64. It is designed for use with 10-speed drivetrains and is compatible with SRAM and Shimano drivetrains. For best performance, Rotor recommends running Q-Rings in tandem with others (unless, of course, you are running a single chainring drivetrain). For maximum benefit of the Q-Ring design, install the chainring so that the long axis of the ring aligns with the crank arm.

The Supreme Court will review two of the numerous lawsuits challenging the Affordable Care Act's (ACA) requirement that group health plans and insurers cover, without cost-sharing, contraceptives and/or abortifacients (the "Contraceptive Mandate"). The plaintiffs in these suits are secular, for-profit corporations and their owners, and they assert that being forced to comply with the Contraceptive Mandate would violate their First Amendment religious rights and would also violate the Religious Freedoms Restoration Act ("RFRA").
All courts addressing the various Contraceptive Mandate suits have struggled with the issue of whether secular, for-profit corporations are covered under either the First Amendment or RFRA (which generally prohibits federal law from imposing a burden on any "person's" religious freedom). This year, a circuit split developed: the Seventh, Tenth, and D.C. Circuits adopted a "pass through" theory that allowed the corporations to assert the free exercise rights of their owners, and held that the Contraceptive Mandate places a substantial burden on the plaintiffs' religious freedoms. The Third and Sixth Circuits, in contrast, have rejected the argument that secular, for-profit corporations can exercise religion, and have held that the owners are not burdened since it is the corporation, not the owners, who would be funding this coverage.
The Supreme Court is likely to schedule oral argument for March, and a ruling is expected in June. Because the Court will address the religious rights of for-profit corporations, the ruling may have significance beyond the Affordable Care Act.

THURSDAY, Jan. 5 (HealthDay News) -- Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) should be used with caution in individuals with HIV/AIDS, due to potential interactions between AEDs and antiretroviral agents (ARVs), according to new guidelines issued by the American Academy of Neurology, published online Jan. 4 in Neurology.
Gretchen L. Birbeck, M.D., M.P.H., from Michigan State University in East Lansing, and colleagues reviewed available literature to develop guidelines for selecting AEDs for patients with HIV/AIDS.
The investigators found that up to 55 percent of patients taking ARVs may have an indication for AED-ARV combination therapy. For patients receiving both AEDs and ARVs, the guidelines offer drug-specific dosage changes for maintaining optimal serum concentrations. The guidelines also indicate when a dosage change may not be necessary for certain AED-ARV combinations, and recommend patients be counseled when the need for dose adjustment is unclear in their case. The researchers note that patients taking protease inhibitors or nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors should not be given enzyme-inducing AEDs; and when this cannot be avoided, the efficacy of the ARV regimen should be monitored.
"Future research regarding AED-ARV interactions is needed. Special priority should be given to the study of first-line AED-ARV combinations used in low and middle-income countries where second-line agents may not be available," the authors write.
Several of the study authors disclosed financial ties to the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.

In my defense, this was a long, long time ago
And let me reiterate. This was nearly a decade ago. I don't do this sort of thing anymore. Just so we're clear. It's not my party trick.
So a few weeks before I left San Diego to move to DC, I went to this lesbian party.
Actually, it was a housewarming. Thrown by a lesbian couple, and most of the guests were lesbians. We got invited because my boyfriend worked and was friends with one of the house warmers.
The house was really cool, and it was on a canyon, with a lovely back yard, sprawling fuchsia bougainvillea, and a gorgeous view. They'd had it catered; there was a fantastic spread. The bartender made really, really strong gin and tonics.
Important detail. Foreshadowing.
I don't know if you've ever ended a relationship in which you lived together. In which you loved the person and he loved you, but you wanted very different things. And one of you wanted to live in San Diego until you died. And the other, well, just couldn't.
The end of any big relationship is traumatic, but it's somehow worse when you feel like it should work, but for this one ginormous life detail. You feel like the person ought to love you enough change their mind. You fight about dumb stuff. And then, you decide to break up. But you live together until one of you moves to DC.
So at the tail end of this scenario, I was in a pretty fragile emotional place. What better to do when you're feeling unwanted (no matter that you're the one who is leaving) than run around and drink and flirt at a party?
Just to put you in my head. As if you don't live there every time you visit LG.
I headed immediately for the bar. It was an uncharacteristically warm night, and the gin and tonics, with refreshing lime! went down so easily.
And then I ran around socializing. We'd come to the party with another of my boyfriend's colleagues and his friend, who was a cop. Or maybe she was an ex-cop. I don't remember.
What I do remember was that she was really, really nice to me. Even when they had to pull over on the side of the 5 on the way home so I could vomit.
Yes. It's like that.
I was wearing an orange silk top with a Chinese dragon on it. The kind that's really only a top in the front. The back is just a tie, easily undone.
Also relevant.
It was the kind of night where the stars all align and somehow everyone thinks you're fabulous. Lots and lots of people - both men and women - thought the little blonde party girl was really, really cute. So, this was me: Whee! Mind-numbing alcohol! Cute men! Cute women! Gin! Flirty flirty! Proof of desirability! Warm San Diego night! More gin! Whee!
At the pinnacle of my gin consumption, two women larger than me beckoned me over.
"Look at you! You're so adorable!"
In head: Why yes, yes, I am!
"And look at how tiny your top is."
In head: I know, very tiny. Whee!
One said, "That would look like a postage stamp on me."
Me, I responded, "Oh! Want to try it on?" And reached back, pulled the string, and took off my top, and handed it to her.
And then pranced off into the crowd. Whee!
I cannot precisely say how long I was topless - but I believe it was a good couple minutes.
Apparently one of my boyfriend's gay guy friends stood up and said, "When the women start taking off their clothes, it's time for me to leave." He exited immediately.
On the other hand, a number of other people, as they left, thanked my boyfriend for bringing me.
Because I was so entertaining.
They might have thanked me, but for the fact that by the end of the party, I was vomiting in the bushes. I cringe as I write this, as you may imagine. I'm very, oh-so thankful that I left town shortly thereafter.
For months afterwards, guys asked my by then ex-boyfriend if the story was true. And if so, how they could get invited to the party next year.
I've been back to San Diego a number of times since, and as my ex-boyfriend and I are still friends, I've seen a number of those people, including the house warmers. And I'll tell you what makes me feel lucky.
They only remember the nudity. Not the vomiting.

Spain is No Place to Learn Spanish
Dear Mexican: After a year in Spain, I speak more-than-decent Spanish, and I want to get a job in the nonprofit field where I can put it to use. Thing is, my Spanish is pretty peninsular. I maintained my seseo, thank God, but people have told me I have un acento andaluz (¡mentira!). Are the Mexicans gonna laugh at me? LA GALLEGA
Dear Galician Gabacha: Going to Spain to learn to speak Spanish is like going to Mexico to learn good government. The number of Spaniards in the United States is minuscule — 1,285, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's 2011 American Community Survey, and a bunch of them are undoubtedly Basques and Catalans. It'll all be fine, but Mexis will forever make fun of your lisp and your use of vosotros, and more important, you're going to get your curse words wrong.
Mi familia and I live in a mobile home community. For roughly all of last week up to and including today, some Mexican kids have been taking shortcuts through other people's yards (including mine), and since our next-door neighbors (who are also Mexicans) have two perros, the little hijos de putas love to get their jollies by pestering the hell out of them! And they have the nerve to pretend not to understand what's being said to them (both in Spanish and English). Is calling la policia (and possibly threatening to alert la migra) my only course of action? What steps can be taken to ensure that these kids' lazy parents actually give a rat's culo to keep their children in line? As far as respeto is concerned, I believe people should have to show that they actually deserve it instead of expecting and/or demanding it simply because they exist. If you're too lazy to prove yourself to be worthy of respect, you sure as hell won't get it from me, at the very least. A KNOW KNOTHING IN NEED OF WISDOM
Ask a Mexican
Dear Gabacho: "Hijos de puta"? The correct disparaging term in Mexican Spanish is "hijos de la chingada" ("sons of the fucked one"). And while you call yourself a Know Nothing, you're obviously not — you care enough about your Mexi neighbors to watch out for their dogs, you understand the primacy of respeto in the Mexican psyche and you seem to know more Spanish than some Chicano politicians. No need to call the police or la migra on this one. You and your Mexi neighbor should approach the parents and tell them what their chamacos are doing. If they don't care, then time to get nuclear: Bust out the chancla.

I have eight FF games and love em! FFGoneFishing is a delightful change from the farm animals but just as challenging and just as much fun! The FFAncientRome is the pinacle of the FF journey as it adds the challenges of having to make your own cement to build machinery and have animals to make the some of the machinery work. Really keeps you on your toes. I've been playing the FF games for two years now and still haven't been bored. I challenge myself to start with the First FF game and work my way through all of them start to finish, then start over! My greatest thanks to the inventors of all the Farm Frenzy games!!!

Weitz & Luxenberg has achieved a $13.34 million judgment on a behalf of a victim who was viciously attacked at a bar in Queens, New…
Read MoreXarelto — rivaroxaban — is an anticoagulant. Doctors may prescribe it to reduce your risk of deep-vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, especially following knee or hip replacement surgery.
If you have atrial fibrillation, Xarelto may be prescribed to prevent strokes and other clotting events that could be harmful to your health.
Xarelto belongs to a class of anticoagulants known as Factor Xa inhibitors. These prescription drugs work by suppressing your body's natural production of thrombin in order to prevent blood from clotting.
However, taking Xarelto can cause potentially dangerous side effects, including death, due to its ability to cause severe bleeding events.

Stuart R. Friedman will be happy to review your case.
Critical Complications of Xarelto
In 2014, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration required additional language for Xarelto's package labeling to warn you about the risks of bleeding events. These could happen if you abruptly stop taking this drug.
Growing scientific evidence and an increasing number of adverse events reported to the FDA strongly suggest Xarelto is unsafe and can raise your risk of:
- Brain hemorrhage
- Hemorrhagic stroke
- Gastrointestinal bleeding
- Pericardial (sac encasing the heart) bleeding
- Pulmonary (lungs) bleeding
- Intraocular (eye) bleeding
- Fatal internal bleeding after trauma
These events can be life threatening since there is no antidote for Xarelto to stop the bleeding. Antidotes do exist for older types of anticoagulants.
There are warnings in the Xarelto label regarding use by some kidney patients, pregnant women, nursing mothers and patients with prosthetic heart valves.
Xarelto Clinical Trial Validity Questioned by FDA
According to a Feb. 2015 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, many drug manufacturer clinical trial studies were cited as underreporting adverse events and other serious breaches of ethical and clinical protocols.
Some of the studies were also negligent in adhering to research protocols, properly ensuring patient rights, safety and welfare, and inadequate or inaccurate record-keeping, all of which may affect outcomes of data from these trials.
The studies examined included one on the safety and efficacy of Xarelto given to prevent blood clots in patients who had recently undergone hip and knee arthroplasty. Half of the FDA inspections of the Xarelto clinical trial sites for this study were rated "official action required," the most serious FDA inspection classification. The violations warranted regulatory action.
The results from this RECORD 4 study (Regulation of Coagulation in Orthopedic Surgery to Prevent Deep-Venous Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism) were considered unreliable by the FDA because of these violations. The FDA cited alarming practices, including discarding medical records and falsifying data.
The manufacturer of Xarelto did not mention these serious citations in the articles that were submitted to prestigious journals for publication about the purported efficacy and safety of taking the drug.
These findings are troubling, and this lack of transparency raises questions about the validity of clinical trial data generally, and could have alarming implications regarding the risks that accompany taking medications.
Symptoms of Xarelto Bleeding Injuries
Symptoms of internal bleeding caused by Xarelto can include any or all of the following, depending in part on where exactly the bleeding is occurring and how heavy the flow of blood:
- Blacking out
- Slurred or disoriented speech
- Vertigo
- Facial droop
- Disorientation or trouble understanding speech
- Seizures, especially if you have not had them before
- Massive, sudden headache
- Neck pain
- Vomiting, bright red or containing black particles
- Rapid pulse
- Low blood pressure
- Weakness, shakiness or sudden paralysis
- Vision loss, sudden changes or sensitivity to light
- Tar-like stools, black or bright red
If you or a member of your family suffers any of these complications after taking Xarelto, you may need to seek a legal remedy to help you pay the costs of emergency and long-term medical treatment, as well as to help you recover for pain and suffering.
Reoperation Due to Xarelto Wound Complications
When Xarelto causes wound complications, it can be necessary to treat these complications by returning the patient to the operating room for additional surgery.
A study involving 1,048 patients who underwent total hip or knee replacement surgery found that 31 of them had wound complications, some of which required patients to go back under the knife. Of that 31, only nine had received a low molecular weight heparin prior to the original surgery. The remaining 22 had all received Xarelto. The researchers indicated that this difference was statistically significant.
The most typical wound complications accompanying Xarelto's use after total hip or knee replacement include:
- Hematoma
- Throbbing ache emanating from the wound site
- Oozing at the wound site
- Persistent wound drainage
- Infection
- Inability to move through the full range of motion
The possibility of wound complications presents itself when Xarelto is given after arthroplasty — either a total hip or knee replacement or revision — due to its indication to reduce the risk of deep-venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism.
Articles published in peer-reviewed journals indicate that wound complication rates are generally higher among arthroplasty patients who receive prophylactic doses of Xarelto than among those who instead receive low-molecular-weight heparin or other means of thromboprophylaxis, such as aspirin and compression stockings, and DVT compression pumps.
In one study, a cohort of patients who were given rivaroxaban after undergoing arthroplasty experienced slightly over one-third more wound complications than did patients who instead were given low-molecular-weight heparin after surgery.
In another study, there were an astonishing 250 percent more wound complications among those given post-arthroplasty rivaroxaban than among those given low-molecular-weight heparin.
In an editorial published in The New England Journal of Medicine in 2008, an orthopedic surgeon on the Steering Committee for a clinical trial for rivaroxaban concluded that based on these potential complications he would not recommend Xarelto for his hip and knee arthroplasty patients.
In a study recently published in The Journal of Arthroplasty, Dr. Olubusola Brimmo at the University of Missouri and colleagues from the Cleveland Clinic examined the effects rivaroxaban had on the incidence of deep surgical site infections that occurred within a month after total hip or knee arthroplasty. One group of patients received Xarelto. The second group received other types of medications including enoxaparin, aspirin and warfarin. Patients who received Xarelto carried a 10-times greater relative risk of infection than those who received other types medications to prevent blood clots.

Over the years I have written articles about the stupidity of some so called 'studies' which either confirm something that humankind have known for centuries or which everyone knows just from plain common sense.
But, these silly studies still continue and I guess they always will so long as someone is prepared to pay for them and some researchers have nothing better to do. Personally I don't care so long as the studies are not funded indirectly by tax payers, or sometimes as is the case with some supplement studies where they are funded by big Pharma in an attempt to discredit supplements or specific natural ingredients.
Here is an example of a silly study. It has created headlines such as "Dietary Supplements Fuel Bad Health Habits". Now, you would think that this must be a study which involves long time or serious users of dietary supplements...correct? No, not at all! In fact, it is basically a physiological study which is totally meaningless.
There is an article in which Judy Blatman from the Council of Responsible Nutrition outlines the silliness of this study. You may wish to read it by clicking here.
Well Andrew, I totally disagree with what you said, though I think I know what you meant to say:-
Frankly there are some things that the mainstream pharmacologists and nutritionists are not willing to accept, just because some age old tradition has people who have figured out the certain do's and don'ts in certain things (mainly due to the lack of profit in the accepted norms passed down from parents/grandparents, etc(talk about a total lack of appreciation for the previous generations who's backs we currently survive and are built upon as our foundation)).
Like why it is important to eat fruits, and vegetables, we know they are accurate because our ancestors did that, and some actually lived till 100+ (My parent's speak of some places where there were people who routinely lived till 150 with children, grandchildren, etc.) Science will find a way to fund useless meaningless studies that have no basis in today's evolving landscape.
I totally agree with Warren's disposition on this matter about wasted resources on useless stuff without a comprehensive top-down, bottom-up scientific approach. The reality is bankers stole the world's money supply, that's why you find the world has less money not your studies. Monetary systems must end in order for the world to enter a truly democratic state. (Participatory Economics - parecon.org(21st century version of anarcho-socialism) by Michael Albert and then evolve towards Project Venus by Jacque Fresco (Science/21st century version of anarcho-communism)). Without those methods, we simply cannot call ourselves civilized or expect Scientific breakthroughs to achieve necessary strides for all of mankind.

raising torque converter lockup
i have a 700r4 in a 55 chevy truck behind a smallblock and the tranny works as it should but i would like to raise the torque converter lockup either by pressure or by speed. the result i would like to have is to have a nice wind up in 4th and then go into lockup at about 55mph. i have tried an external pressure switch and have replaced the valve in the vb but the thing still goes into 4th around 42-44mph and then into lockup around 46 mph. tv cable adjustment is not affecting it either. any thoughts would be appreciated. thanks.
Sponsored Links | |||
i was just about to try that very idea. superior puts out a governor kit that i bought a month or so back. but i dont know if changing the shift points will affect the converter lockup. i guess theres only one way to find out. thanks for your input gonenova/406, i will try it this weekend and post my findings.
change lock up
depending on the year of the 700 you change and the answer is .... this is a question I'll ask the experts........ lets see who know's there stuff I have post this answer before and have changed many lock up time with ease, triva time ohh the governer wont help with lock up
the post is difficult to understand but, airworld is correct about the governor NOT changing the lock up of the converter , only shift points.
depending on the year and valve body design you can change the mph when the converter locks up. It sounds like you may have discovered the kit the Superior offers for this modification. If you wish to change shift points and lock up mph then you need to adress both areas inside the tranny. It is largely trial & error since the tire size , gear ratio and normal internal pressure leaks will affect the shifts points .
Dont worry how old you are... it is the mileage on your body that adds up. |
I am reluctant to spec a manufacturer, but B&M has a kit that uses the speedo drive to vary the lockup points thru an adjustable switch in the drivers compartment. Works great but does require some wiring to install.
Lockup can also be controlled by the valve body pressure switches, but this will require some trans expertise... how adventurous are you? Crosley is right about the variables he lists. Lockup in a 700 is controlled (in the end) by the activation of the solenoid in the pump. Controlling the current path to the solenoid is the easiest way to control lockup activation. |
lock up
you can change lock up in ways I would like to address in more detail
pressure switch is the easy way, besides a toggle switch you can replace the spring(stronger) in the tcc valve in v/b ahhhh and for the late style replace the solid sleeve with early valve assemble and drill the plate so oil can stroke the valve install ck ball in lock up solenoid and no power is needed for lock up in the application this way the only cost you have is time and a spring, I have try ed all ways and depends on what your willing to try.... some times to fix problems its takes will and determination Last edited by airworld2; 03-12-2005 at 05:56 PM. |
This works great only if you have the correct valve, shift sleeve and spring. I bet there are thousands of these laying around for the average guy to get his hands on.
Besides, are you gonna post the correct plate drilling instructions online AND take responsibility for this info? We need to deal in reality here. |
lock up
yep I can back up what I post
as for the valve there are still many valve body around that contain the parts you need. I can even ship the parts we have a hard parts and core supply business with in the family business three Transmission shops in the Houston area. I can assure you results based on my knowledge and experience providing the tranny and converter are in GOOD working order easy to hard I tried many things some work some don't>> this works lets not do the my dog is bigger than your's on this. Last edited by airworld2; 03-13-2005 at 11:30 AM. |
chazmac...... airworld knows of what he speaks.
he has the knowledge and experience. the 3 of us know the method airworld speaks of will work with the correct valve body , parts and modifications. I am of the opinion the B&M adjustable lockup kit is easier and faster to change the lock up mph .
Dont worry how old you are... it is the mileage on your body that adds up. |
Good 700r4, 4l60 web site
Here is a great web site for 700r4-4l60e tranny info.

Monster Appreciation Day: Crimson Fatalis and White Fatalis
Wow. Remember all that time ago, when we started with Giadrome? And then we switched to 3rd Gen monsters due to popular demand? Then back to Unite monsters... good times were had by all, I like to imagine.
But this is the end of the line. Crimson Fatalis waits in the searing heat of the Battlefield, and White Fatalis perches above the desolate Tower, lord of all it surveys. Who would dare challenge them?

text: ...in a move that could be significant, Huntsman forcefully called on Romney to release his tax returns. This matters, because Huntsman is a longtime backer of Romney — he has long been close to Romney; he supported his early campaigns; he was the national finance chairman of Romney's 2008 presidential campaign; and he has raised a lot of money for him over the years. (He backed his own son in the latest GOP primary.) "I feel very badly that Mitt won't release his taxes and won't be fair with the American people," Huntsman told me. In a reference to Romney's father, who pioneered the release of returns as a presidential candidate, Huntsman said: "I loved George. He always said, pay your taxes for at least 10 or 12 years." "Mr. Romney ought to square with the American people and release his taxes like any other candidate," Huntsman said. "I've supported Mitt all along. I wish him well. But I do think he should release his income taxes.

I'm a 51 year old African American woman in pretty good health, nothing major. I had hysterectomy 20 years ago. I now have a very noticable sag in my stomach from where the muscle were cut. I have tried excercise to tighten the muscles, to no avail. I've had gallbladder remove surgery about 16 years ago. Would a Tummy Tuck be advisable for me? I really hate the way my stomach hangs down.
Tummy Tuck an Option After Gallbladder Surgery, Hysterectomy
Doctor Answers 7
Although you will obviously need a full exam by a board-certified plastic surgeon, it is quite possbile that muscle weakness as well as excess skin might be the culprit, and a mini-tummy tuck might be very beneficial if your upper abdomen is of less concern. If the muscle weakness and bulging are located above the belly button, a full or modified tummy tuck would be in order.
Thank you for your question. A personal exam and consultation is always best.
That said modification of tummy tuck technique is required often requiring a vertical incision.
Be sure to consult a plastic surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, experienced in your procedure, and who has an excellent reputation in your community.

A tummy tuck may be an excellent option but this may be effected by your gallbladder incision and a modified technique may be required. Discuss this with a board certified surgeon.

Tummy tucks are a very popular and effective way to contour the abdomen. As no two patients are alike, in our practice, no to tummy tucks are the same. We evaluate every patient individually to determine what component of the abdomen needs to be addressed. If they do not require tightening of the muscles and have good quality skin they may be a candidate for liposuction alone. If they do require muscle tightening and they have extra fat and skin in the central abdomen, they may benefit from a mini tummy tuck. If they have these symptoms but also have fat and tissue in their hips and waist, they may benefit from a regular tummy tuck. Your best bet is to be evaluated by a board-certified plastic surgeon with a great deal of experience in abdominoplasty and liposuction techniques. Such an expert will be able to assess the different components of your abdominal wall and determine which combination of procedures will help you meet your personal aesthetic goals.
In our practice, tummy sucks are commonly done very successfully in African-American patients. Be sure that you review your aesthetic concerns with your surgeon and talk at length as to which features you would like to preserve and what areas of your abdomen and hits you would like to compliment.

Although no brief description can do justice to your own concerns regarding your tummy, it sounds as if you may be a great candidate for the procedure. However, I am not sure what kind of scars you have on your abdomen and this can be a concern if you have too many scars on your abdomen.
Hi there,
It is very common for women to have a drooping pouch of skin and fatty tissue above a hysterectomy or c-section scar. Combined with the round shape of the abdomen that often results from pregnancy and the inevitable decline in metabolism, this produces an abdominal contour that most women would be unhappy with. No manner or amount of exercise will effectively deal with these changes, as they are fundamentally due to changes in your anatomy, not to changes in your weight or the amount of tissue present (in other words, even if you lost weight, you would probably still have the abdominal shape you have now).
A tummy tuck or abdominoplasty is very effective in managing these issues.
I would locate a surgeon Board Certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery and schedule a consultation. I think you'll be happy with what they can offer you.
Good luck on your road to the body contour you dream of!

Fireless cooker
A simple cooker that cooks food without fuel
The practical fireless cooker is helping families in Kenya to escape the vicious cycle of poverty that is perpetuated by the sheer struggle to survive.
By making families less dependent on fuel, they no longer have to make the heartbreaking choice between sending their children to school and short-term survival, or going to work and collecting wood.
The "fireless cooker" uses stored heat to cook food over a long period of time. The food is cooked on a traditional stove, before it's transferred to the fireless cooker. The cooker is well insulated, keeping the heat in the food and allowing it to continue cooking inside.
A simple basket, insulated with local resources such as banana leaves or old clothes, can reduce fuel use by 40%, preserving scarce food and saving people hours of precious time.
How to make a fireless cooker
1 Locally-available material such as recycled clothing is collected for insulation. |
2 The insulating material is sewn into a strong basket or box. |
3 A lining of tough cloth is glued or nailed to hold the insulation in position. |
4 Dry heat-resistant polythene covers line the cloth on the inside, to protect the stuffing. |
5 Two cloth cushions are packed around the top and bottom of the pot. |
6 A fireless cooker, ready to use. |
Read more about how the fireless cooker works, how to build a fireless cooker, and how it can be used, in this introductory guide from Practical Answers:
As a 26-year-old widow, Rose was struggling to feed and provide for her children by selling the few vegetables she could grow at the local market. Since working with Practical Action to make her own fireless cooker, Rose's life has changed dramatically. "I apply some heat to the food in the morning, and then I store it in the fireless cooker, where, as if by some magic, it continues to cook. I can now spend the whole day at market working - providing for my family's future."
This incredible little cooker has given her the confidence to look forward to a better future. Now she can begin to teach others how to make a fireless cooker, helping more families break the brutal cycle of poverty. It's a chain reaction of knowledge that can quickly transform whole communities.
Rose explains, "As a mother I am now happier, knowing my son and daughters do not need to spend hours in the heat of the sun foraging for pieces of wood, so they can now go to school. Who could have known this simple fireless cooker could change things so much for us?"
The fireless cooker can change lives
This one practical solution provides a range of life-changing benefits:
- Nutritious food Women can cook nutritious foods that previously required lots of fuel for simmering (such as beans, rice and whole maize).
- Improve children's health The fireless cooker produces no smoke, so there is less risk of children developing respiratory disease.
- Create opportunities for income generation Women no longer have to spend hours cooking, freeing up time to earn money at the market or in the field.
- Reduce fuel consumption by an average 40% Women and children can spend less time foraging for firewood, also reducing the need to resort to potentially toxic fuels.
- Reduce water usage by 25% Water is retained in the food, rather than evaporating, preserving nutrients, flavours and precious drinking water.
- Help preserve local forests and the environment This 'green technology' will help to reduce the demand for scarce natural resources.
Just £16 could could provide two families with a fireless cooker, enabling children to go to school. If you are able to, please make a donation to Practical Action's work today.

Mark Hughes' agent Kia Joorabchian insists the timing of his client's resignation as Fulham boss on Thursday was just an "unfortunate circumstance" and not connected with the managerial vacancies at Aston Villa and Chelsea.
The Welshman stepped down from the Craven Cottage hotseat three days ago after one season at the helm, turning down the offer of a new deal but claiming he had had no contact with any other club.
Joorabchian told BBC Radio 5 Live's Sportsweek programme: "As a manager he has ambitions to really compete at the top level and be the best he can. [Fulham] are where they are. They are a great top-10, mid-table club and I think Mark really wants to be right up there competing in the Champions League positions, up there competing for titles. He'd like to win some cups."
He added: "(The timing) was an unfortunate circumstance. The timing of the situation was such there were a couple of vacancies available.
"It had nothing to do with it whatsoever. You all realise Mark Hughes is a sincere man. He wouldn't do that.
"He sat down and thought about it and thought if he signs a two-year contract now and they go and buy players in the transfer market, but all the time looking over his shoulder thinking 'well if a bigger job comes along, a top-four club or maybe a place in Portugal, Spain, Germany, Italy that allows him to compete...' then he'd be sort of keen to move and that would be unfair to Fulham.
"He wanted to tell them and give them plenty of time. There was no better time to do so than at the end of the season.
"This has nothing to do with Aston Villa or Chelsea or any other club. Mark Hughes made decision to leave Fulham purely and simply because he didn't want to commit two years then look over his shoulder and disappoint them by leaving in the middle of his contract."
Asked about the possibility of the former Chelsea player returning to Stamford Bridge for a role in the dugout, Joorabchian replied: "There's a vacancy there but I'm sure they have their own planning. We have not spoken to them. They have not spoken to us.
"It's a club he has played fo so he knows the club well but it would be disrespectful of us to say 'yes, we'd like to go there' or here or whatever. It's a case of Mark sitting on the sidelines and seeing what opportunities there will be throughout Europe."

3. Reports from Committees:
Treasurer – Neil McCallum: We currently have $4,558.64 in our general account and $137.24 in the Piping Scholarship account for a total of $4,695.88. All of the major game expenses have been accounted for. We anticipate additional revenues from membership renewals at the upcoming games. Current membership stands at 216 family members. J.R. McCallum suggested that the Clan track which members attend which games so that notifications could be sent out by the conveners.
– Fred McCallum: The Board is in ongoing communication with the Advisory Committee regarding policy and award recommendations.
Scholarship- Neil McCallum: In conjunction with support from Clan Gunn, we awarded a total of 5 Scholarships to the Piping Academy. 3 full and 2 half (previous attendees) Thanks to all of the donors who have supported this effort.
DNA & Family History – Neil McCallum: We receive about 4 inquiries a month regarding assistance with Family Histories. The DNA project is ongoing but the number of matches has declined. We have received several new members from these programs.

4. Unfinished Business – None mentioned
5. Election of Officers – None this year
6. New Business
Clan Store: To replace a program that was instituted about 12 years ago, Neil McCallum proposed that the Clan use "Land's End" clothing for an embroidered logo.

Truck/ICE PICTURES!!!!!!.
So yea last night we were testing the ice on crescent lake with my new truck with about five other buddies. Well we were driving on the shore and decided to go on the ice a little, about two feet in. Then the ice broke and I was like no big deal it was only like two feet of water. But when I went to go back up the rest of the ice gave way and my truck slid deeeeeeeper. So i tried to bac up and was STUCK. So we all climb out of the back sliding window. When we got out we realized the fron of the truck was almost under water. Crazy stuffffff.lol. So I jump back into the truck. Only to realize I had about three inchs of water in the truck and there was more coming in. Then Aaron and Fred(auto shop buddies) show up and pull me out. Thank god they were there.lol. When we pulled the truck out there was about five inchs of water in it. O well, shit happends. I'll get pictures and videos up soon.
Yea I know im a idiot. A.J. Hall. Last edited by guest; December 29th, 2007 at 02:58 PM. |

Dont Feed the Cyco
They have trucks, campers, and sleds on Walled Lake in the winter. If it was illegal how do they get away with it? |

Well all I was really going to do was shine the brights on it to see if it was frozen to the middle. Yea it was 40 and rainy all day. but the ice was still thick(three inchs or maybe a little less were i was. And it was only like two feet of water under me but when I put it in reverse and tried to back out all the ice shifted and made me slide deeper. The cops most likely would not of done a thing except laugh at me. My truck does not leak anything at all. Also the motor wasnt under at all. So I dont know if they could of wrote me up or anything.maybe though. I will be posting some pics. Its not even bad enough to get in trouble for. But it was dark and Ic ant get the pictures for a couple days. But I WILL get them.

Dude, I was over two feet of water. It shifted.It was a very windy night. Call me dumb. I dont care. It was fun and no one got in trouble. Scary as hell though.

I beleive its only illegal to drop in and leave it in the lake. I think the fact he got it out and made it quick makes it a good move on his part. I have towed them out days later and the fines are nuts after 24 hours. I got one where we had to chainsaw out the front of a ramcharger with plow on. I handed the owner a hook and told him to find somthing solid to pull from. it wasn't pretty.

I guess if you want to judge stupid acts on ice I should chime in again. I have been out on the lake with sleds many times when the ice was bad. I remember one night in perticular when I hit the boat launch on Whitmore and the sled kida bogged as I hit the throttle. I looked back to see a open water cut where I had just came in. I stayed on the gas out the middle where the good ice was. I hit it like going up a ramp. turned back and had a slice 1/4 mile long. yea A.J. isn't the only one who's been young and dumb. the worst part was getting enough nerve to go back...I'm still here ain't I?

Keep on truckin
snowmobiles are a diffrent story cuz if you go fast enough you can ride on water. trucks. kinda sink like a stone. with the exception of this one that defies the odds...http://youtube.com/watch?v=OnUjE28-BCo&feature=related

Yea someone was telling me too that it goes form two feet to about 8 feet right away. This was a boat launch but the sand kind. It wasnt paved. Quote:
Hahahaha yea it would for sure take some balls to go back. |

Metal oxide semiconductor has been widely studied due to it varied properties and application. Among metal oxide, ZnO semiconductor is of great interest due to wide band gap (3.2-3.4eV) with hexagonal wurtzite structure. This study involves the comparison of optical properties of ZnO thin films when doped with erbium and terbium. The optical properties were studied using Photoluminescence and Direct Reflector ultraviolet (DR-UV). FESEM image shows that the irregular shape and there is variation in the surface morphology of undoped and doped ZnO thin film. The grain size increased with addition of erbium and terbium. The transmission spectra for all samples show high transmission with more than 90%. However the band gap increase for doped ZnO thin film sensitized with eosin B. The band gap value also decreases with the addition of erbium and terbium for sensitized eosin Y. The XRD patterns of these samples are in close agreement with the JCPDS standard (No. 36-1451). It was observed that all deposited films were polycrystalline with hexagonal wurtzite structure with diffraction peaks oriented along the (100),(002),(101),(102),(110) and (103) planes. The preferred orientation for ZnO thin film sensitized with eosin Y and B is (101) plane. The discrepancy may be caused by different preparation condition. The PL emission in the UV bands was observed, peaking at the range of 365-387nm, centered at 380 at near band edge emission, due to Er3+ transition from 4F7/2?4I15/2 and Tb3+ transition from 5D4?7F1.
