Don't use Cooper / Mastercraft Snow Tires
I'm very sorry to have to post this.
I've been a satisfied user of Mastercraft Glacier Grip snowtires on my Prius for three winters.
But I just got burned by Cooper, and their "new" Glacier Grips are not usable for Prius.
I always get 51 to 53mpg** on my summer tires (Goodyear Integrity).
When I switch to my "winter" tires (Mastercraft Glacier Grip) I used to get around 47-48mpg.
(not bad for aggressive snow tires).
But a month ago, one of my Glacier Grips got damaged by a pothole.
So I got (what I thought) were identical, new Mastercraft Glacier Grip tires.
39mpg !!!!!!!!!! WTF????????
So, I put my summer tires back on early, and instantly got my 51mpg back.
I immediately contacted the dealer, then the distributor, and finally Cooper Customer Service.
Cooper Tire Company did their best to convince me that it was all my fault:
-I was just imagining it, and my new tires got the same mileage as the old tires
-It was my fault for overinflating the tires by 1psi.
-It was my fault for underinflating the tires by 1psi.
-New tires cannot be expected to get the same mileage as worn out, bald tires.
-I was not making a fair comparison of mileages (** see notes below).
-I did not know what I was talking about.
-My car must obviously be defective.
Anyway, after weeks and repeated conversations the truth finally came out:
Cooper is putting ABRASIVE COMPOUNDS in their snow tires to make the tire surface rougher,
and improve traction.
Apparently, at the expense of 25% of my fuel mileage.
Bottom line: Cooper offers NO apology, refund, exchange, or credit for tires that produce poor mileage. If your Cooper tires cause your Prius to get below normal mileage, TOUGH!
So now, I have a brand new set of 185-65-15 snow tires. And if I put them on my Prius, it will cost
me over $500 in extra fuel cost over the life of the tires.
Anybody need a set of tire-swings for the tree in their back yard?
Caveat Emptor
** NOTE: All of the above mileages are quoted for the round trip Buffalo, NY to Albany and return.
on the I-90, clean, dry pavement, in cruise control at 65 to 68MPH.
I make this trip at least 15 times a year, and my mileage is very consistent.

Probably changes in the ethanol levels in your fuel. Sorry, tires can't account for that much difference. Duh.

Dave: 1. Did you even bother
1. Did you even bother to read my posting?
2. Same fuel, no change. Ethanol changes never cost me more than 3-4 mpg.
3. Do you work for Cooper P.R. dept, or are you just a mouth breathing slug?

this is the most rediculous
this is the most rediculous complaint i have heard......wahhhhhhhh. So buy some other tires for your Prius.....who cares. This was a very long well written article which makes me think you wasted even more time writing it than you did doing all your calculations.
The OP writes a good
The OP writes a good article, backs it up with facts and stats, and the only 2 comments he got were from people saying it was no big deal?
Maybe akcntrygrl has money to throw around and can experiment with different brands of tires? Sure, what's several hundred bucks out the window, right? It doesn't matter that he bought the exact smae tires he previously owned, but that the company had changed them, right? He should just flush that money away for fun.
And Dave Evans, OP explained that he found out that they changed the composition of the rubber. That can make a big difference in MPG. And his point was that he owned the exact same brand of tire before, but that the new ones vastly underperformed the old ones.
I for one thank the OP for this info. I am looking for snow tires, and now I will have to definitely think twice about Cooper/Mcraft.
Why wouldnt you want tires
Why wouldnt you want tires that grip the road better. Your going to waste more than $500 buying new tires anyway. Enjoy the better trackion in the snow and keep the tires on your car.
Typical Toyota/Prius driver.

I have never heard of a tire
I have never heard of a tire that grips the road "TOO WELL" to the point that they dont turn as fast as another on the road which is the only thing that would cause drag on your car and make it get worse mileage... did you get a bigger size tire? Maybe some McMudders!!! Waaaahaahaahaa!!!!!!!!!!!

"I must admit, the AKG K3003 was not something that I ever wanted to purchase when they first came out. At $1,600 CAD ($1,200 USD), they were probably the most expensive IEMs available at the time.

By Adam Armour/The Itawamba County Times
The average grocery shopper is probably a little vexed that he or she can no longer stroll into the local market and pick up a box of Twinkies and a pack of Wonder kaiser rolls, but try to imagine how Itawamba County School District Food Service Director Kenny Coker feels.
The recent shuttering of wholesale baker and distributor Hostess Brands, from which the Itawamba County School District purchased a chunk of its bread products, has left local lunchrooms high and dry.
Last week, Coker said Hostess sent notification that area lunchrooms would no longer be receiving bread shipments. Previously, they received two a week.
Products purchased from Hostess Brands included loaf bread, Texas toast and kaiser rolls.
According to Coker, the county is currently without a steady supply of any of these products.
"It's not like I can just walk into a store and buy 81 loaves of bread," Coker said.
It's not just a matter of skimping on the bread, either. School lunchrooms must meet strict federally-mandated nutritional guidelines, including whole-grain items.
So, how is the school district managing without these mealtime cornerstones?
"The best we can," Coker said, adding that Fulton Walmart and Food Giant are currently working with the school district to supply enough bread products for the time being until a new supplier can be found.
Of course, Itawamba County's schools aren't alone in this problem; according to information recently released by the Mississippi Department of Education, six out of the state's seven regions have been affected by the late November shuttering of Hostess Brands and all its related subsets, most notably Wonder Bread products.
Just days after the announcement that Hostess Brands was finished, store shelves were emptied of their products. The school district continued to receive shipments of bread up until the beginning of last week.
After that, nothing.
"All of that has dried completely up," Coker said.
Few things are worse than dried up bread.

Several Questions

Posted 29 January 2013 - 10:26 PM
For your storage question, what kind of computer and what operating system is it? I'm guessing that you possibly aren't actually looking at duplicates, but rather each user is "seeing" all the contents of your hard drive. I'd be very careful before deleting anything. It is possible that you are out of space just due to your supplies and your layouts. One thing you can look at immediately is what is in your trash bin. I recently cleaned mine out and I had something like 16 Gigabytes in my trash!! That's valuable space when you are out of space!! LOL!
Some people use DVD's to back up their stuff, others use External Hard drives. Personally I prefer External Hard drives. It just becomes a duplicate copy of whatever you want to copy. For example, I back up all of my scrapbooking stuff, layouts and all of my photos onto an external. Most nowadays just plug into a USB on your computer and away you go.
Hope this helps!

For instance in your user profile, they wouldn't need some of your PSP files.
* By not showing your PSP files in your family's user profiles, it doesn't delete anything, it just doesn't show them several times. Not sure if that would help you.
Like the others, External hard drives are the way to go, or you can save files to DVDs until you can get one.

Posted 30 January 2013 - 07:51 AM
I wouldn't delete anything from your computer unless you are very sure they are truly duplicates.
HTH!! Look forward to seeing your work in the gallery!
Posted 30 January 2013 - 08:27 AM
Having just set up a new computer here's a few suggestions:
This could be a little bit of a time consumer, but I know when I create LO's I usually end up with a lot of layers in my files that I don't end up using. I'll add something and then decide not to use it and then hide the layer. So if you have time, open those files and get rid of any unused or hidden layers. I reduced the size of some of my files to 1/2 just by getting rid of the unused layers.
If you do go the EHD way, copy or back up all of your files to the external first. Make sure they copy correctly before you delete them off of your hard drive. (and yes, remember to empty that pesky recycle bin)
You could then keep a zip file of those items on DVD's just in case something were to ever go wrong with the external.
Don't delete the dups you see of your PSP files. They are most likely all pulling from the same source. They just show under each user.
Looking forward to seeing your work in the Gallery

One good one will hold a lot of stuff, though.
Posted 01 February 2013 - 12:37 PM
Posted 02 February 2013 - 10:06 PM
I don't have an EHD and wouldn't know what to do with it. I have 2 GB and 16 GB travel sticks and 2 512 MB and 1 2 GB disks, plus 1 travel stick that I have my GS lost somewhere here in my house, that I have LOTS of pics and documents on. I had wanted to make all new folders and put all the photos in a main folder with subfolders with different subjects for folders and then delete the old ones so I have all documents together, all photos together, all digital things, etc. together, and so on and so on and so on, and put them on CD's or DVD's.
My computer is Toshiba Satelite L45, Intel®Pentium ® Dual. Windows Vista Home Premium, Servise pack 2, Ram 1:00GB, system 32-bit operating system. Have 68.9GB used, 41.3GB free for 110GB. Hope I got it all.
Posted 03 February 2013 - 12:26 AM
I have 5 Externals - one for all my scrapping stuff, one for all my photos, one for all my commercial stuff, and then two more to back up the first three onto. Both of these two are exact copies of everything, so I have what I call the "working drives", then two back ups. I figure they can't all fail at once! LOL! I basically don't keep anything on the hard drive on the actual computer.

Some Programs install "for all users on the computer" by default (most do, in fact.) When programs add YOUR content to the program location, such as Photoshop styles, and probably PSP tubes, etc, they're visible to all user accounts. The easy way to test the theory is put a small notepad text file, such as "JustTesting.Text" in that location, and then switch user accounts. If you can see it, it puts your mind to rest about duplicates.
In a slightly different way, "My Documents" has both "Public Documents" and My (private) Documents. You can do the same type of test there to see if the files are really duplicates or not. Edit it one account, and then view edits in another. Public documents are Shared rather than Duplicated among users.
Windows 7 and 8 also added Libraries, which are another way to see subsets of your files. The Documents library points to the My Documents folder. I have created a "Scrapbooking" Library, which points ONLY to the Scrap Girls files I have in a few major folders inside My Documents. It's super-convenient to use that Library, since I don't see all my other major folders in My Documents when I'm in the Scrapbooking library. I've attached a picture to show you what I mean:
The files are not duplicates of what's in My Documents; this is a "filtered" view of just the ones I selected.
Hope this helps. Welcome to Scrap Girls!

Binghamton University opens new engineering and science facility
BINGHAMTON, NY -- Binghamton University today opened its new Engineering and Science Building in a ceremony attended by elected officials, local leaders and University representatives. The facility is located next to the Biotechnology Building, which is part of the University's Innovative Technologies Complex (ITC).
The $66 million, two-story glass, metal and stone building will accommodate the expansion of the Thomas J. Watson School of Engineering and Applied Science. Adding about 125,000 square feet to the ITC, the new building features state-of-the-art, flexible student and research laboratory space, as well as suites for new business start-ups and offices that support the University's ongoing and expanding industry partnerships.
"The Engineering and Science Building marks another exciting moment in the development of our University's research programs," said Binghamton University President C. Peter Magrath. "As a hub for innovation and discovery in the coming decades, the new facility, with its flexible and adaptive interior design, will encourage interdisciplinary work and help faculty researchers answer significant scientific questions. With cutting-edge sustainability features and space to grow faculty-industry partnerships, the Engineering and Science Building and our first-class programs position us well for even greater public service in the years ahead."
Funding for the new building was obtained through the efforts of State Sen. Thomas W. Libous, R-Binghamton, and Assemblywoman Donna Lupardo, D-Endwell. It is estimated that during its construction, the building provided $112 million in economic impact and supported over 1,500 jobs in the region.
"We need to focus on our strengths as a community to bring jobs back to New York," said Senator Libous. "Binghamton University is a powerhouse of job growth potential. Not just jobs, but careers. The partnerships we build today will help lead to new careers tomorrow."
The new building is home to the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and the Department of Mechanical Engineering, and the Watson dean's office. A large rotunda feature connects the two ITC buildings, offering access to laboratories and fostering closer interactions between departments and the research centers currently housed in the biotechnology facility.
"Smart investments in science and technology help improve our regional competitiveness and spark innovation," said Assemblywoman Lupardo, chair of the Legislative Commission on Science and Technology. "The cutting-edge research and development being done at Binghamton University is valuable to both our local and state economies. This state-of-the-art building will be home to many new ideas and new discoveries."
The building is tracking LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Platinum standards, incorporating passive solar energy for heating, geothermal technology for heating and cooling, energy-efficient windows and skylights to allow for maximum use of daylight. It also includes the latest technology for heat recovery and humidity control. And these green features are already earning recognition. The Engineering News Record recently named the facility the top 'Green Project of the Year in the New York Region' in its annual competition.
"The cutting-edge research cores, data center, green features and flexible student spaces in the Engineering and Science Building will serve as a catalyst for collaboration and discovery," said Krishnaswami "Hari" Srihari, dean and distinguished professor of the Watson School. "The building provides our remarkable faculty, staff and students with the innovative and practical working environment that will further strengthen and enhance our research, partnership and scholarship opportunities throughout the region, state and beyond."
Several unique features have been incorporated so that some building systems, such as the mechanical systems driving the building's heating and cooling equipment, remain accessible to serve as a teaching tool for engineering students. The design has also taken into consideration the core research model, which will give faculty and students in developing research areas such as microelectronics or network security, the ability to share equipment and ideas, and thereby foster collaboration and limit the duplication of resources.
Additionally, the building's mechanical equipment is located in a tower structurally separated from the building so vibrations do not adversely affect specialized laboratories and research. The building's two-story photovoltaic wall will provide opportunities for undergraduate and graduate research in solar technology.

VIDEO: Eagles take down Thunderbirds
CHENEY, Wash. - The Eastern Washington women's basketball team put its toughness on display Thursday night against visiting Southern Utah, defeating the Thunderbirds, 59-54, in a physical Big Sky contest at Reese Court.
Eastern (13-11, 9-6 Big Sky) turned in a dominant defensive performance, holding Southern Utah (16-8, 10-5 BSC) to more than 20 points below its season average while limiting the Thunderbirds to just 38.5 percent shooting from the floor.
"I thought we did a good job of matching their toughness," head coach Wendy Schuller said. "We knew it was going to be a battle just as it was in Cedar City the first time. I thought we had some players step up and make big plays and we had some key defensive plays that ignited us and gave us some baskets that were hard to come by."
The Eagles scored less than 60 points for just the fourth time this season, and was well below its season average of 71.4 points per game. EWU shot 39.1 percent from the field on the night, its worst shooting performance in Reese Court this season. The Eagles came up big from outside and at the free throw line, however, knocking down seven three-pointers while shooting 16-of-22 from the charity stripe.
Junior Lexie Nelson led Eastern with 17 points, shooting 6-of-12 from the field while burying four three-pointers.
Redshirt sophomore Hayley Hodgins added 12 points and seven rebounds while freshman Jade Redmon scored in double figures for the fourth time in five games, chipping in 11 points thanks to a 7-of-8 effort from the free throw line.
Junior Melissa Williams led the way on the glass with a team-high eight rebounds to go along with eight points and three blocks.
In a game that saw eight ties and 14 lead changes, it was Eastern who had the last laugh, using a 10-3 run late in the second half to regain the lead for good. After a Carli Moreland lay-up brought Southern Utah to within one, 49-48, with 2:29 left, Nelson drilled a momentum-changing three-pointer to give the Eagles a four-point cushion.
EWU came up with a stop on the Thunderbirds' next possession, then Redmon stepped to the line and drained a pair of free throws to give Eastern its largest lead of the game, 54-48, with 1:20 remaining. A quick 4-0 run brought SUU back to within two, 54-52, with 22 ticks left, but the Eagles made five of their final six free throws to secure the win.
The Eagles and Thunderbirds pulled down 32 rebounds apiece, with SUU corralling 13 offensive boards to EWU's 11.
Both squads committed more than 20 turnovers as Southern Utah finished with 22 miscues to the Eagles' 21. SUU outscored EWU in the paint, 24-16, but Eastern finished with a 10-4 edge in fast break points.
Hailey Mandelko scored a game-high 19 points while Carli Moreland chipped in 11 points and eight rebounds. Lori Parkinson, the Big Sky's third-best percentage shooter, was held to just four points on 2-of-10 shooting.
Eastern is back in action on Monday, Feb. 24, when it squares off with Dam Cup rival Portland State in Portland, Ore. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. PST.

Year-round service
We can thank the Central Pacific Railroad Company for bringing us the wonders of Fresno, California. Known for its ability to grow some of the best produce you've ever tasted, this city is bursting with warm and friendly people ready to welcome you to California's fifth-largest city.
With a population of more than 500,000, many consider Fresno to be the perfect size – offering the best of urban amenities with the unique charms and easy living of a small town. There are many wonderful cultural and recreational experiences available in, or near, the city of Fresno – all ready for you to explore.

After a devastating flood orphaned Noelle Brown, she thought her handsome and charming benefactor, Andrew Paige, could be the man of her dreams. So why did his steely-eyed older stepbrother, Jared Dunn, make her heart race and her breath catch in her throat?
Desperado turned lawman, Jared had come home to Fort Worth, Texas, ready to leave his dangerous past behind. The green-eyed, feisty young woman his stepbrother had taken in wasn't the gold digger Jared had expected. Far from it - the unconventional, innocent beauty needed his guidance to learn the ways of high society, a task he found surprisingly enjoyable.
When scandal threatened them all, Noelle would be forced to marry to save the family's honor. But which brother had truly captured her heart? With rivalry pitting brother against brother, one thing was for certain: this wouldn't be a marriage of convenience!
©2009 Diana Palmer (P)2012 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
I love books, it's my great escape.
"A Sizzling Western May and December Romance"
Noelle is a charming 19 year old who last lost her entire family in a tragic flood. Jared is a handsome although 17 years old man with a gun slinging past. Noelle and Jarred will have you cheering for them to finally get it together. Of course Noelle is an innocent. Jared had developed a hard shell and has lots of life experience. I have to admit that I became a bit frustrated with Jared because it took him so long to finally believe in Noelle even after he discovered the truth about her. This story has a bit of everything, even including historical references that seem to add a bit of relevance to the story and made the characters somewhat more believable. And I don't want to leave out the character that every will love to hate, Jared step-brother Andrew. Andrew seems to be the dashing, handsome one that Noelle thinks she is falling for, but you will soon realize that Andrew is an imposter. This story also has a very interesting side story; Jared fights for the freedom of an honest man who is being framed. These are just some of the very redeemable qualities of Jared. The attraction between Noelle and Jared develops at a believable pace and this is what makes this such a sweet little love story for me. And of course there is a HEA (Happy Ever After).
Enjoyable listen. Unpredictable.
Diana Palmer's characters were well portrayed and memorable.
The narrator did a good job.
"Outstanding narration!"
Ms. Ross is a fantastic professional. What a delightful voice. Her performance enriched this story.
"A Story of a Typical Man"
Great story of a man with a past, who simply subatoges a relationship because of his insecurities. The child woman in this story is so naive,as is well portrayed,like most of Diana Palmers main female characters. The story was good but not as predictable as some of Palmers storylines. The suspense in this one has keep me returning to it. The passionate scenes in this book were not over bearing, and in my opinion, Tasteful. Overall, it was a joy, and I smiled often, still after listening to it a second time. It is simply a good read. Get your blankets, Ladies, spend the day curled up with feisty Neolle, an insecure Jarrett, the arrogant Andrew, and last but not least the pleasant peaceable Miss Dunn. Enjoy!!!
Hot romance/Sci Fi we're so lucky to have Audible to feed our book addictions. I love walking my precious dog Sydney & listening to my books
"Hi Ho - Hi Ho, Back to the past I go :)"
Noelle Brown was away from home, caring for her sick uncle, when Galveston was destroyed by a hurricane. Her entire family had been killed, leaving her with the tragic memories of identifying them, and still living in the city, fearing the next storm. When a distant cousin appears and invites her to leave and live with him and his grandmother, she works hard to fit in.
Andrew might be a dashing man, but he lacks true character. He is more than willing to have Noelle in his home, but she tends to be an embarrassment to him with her unsocial graces. But, she is pretty enough, he believes he can convince her to become his mistress.
Andrew's stepbrother, Jared Dunn is more than just cityfied lawyer he presents. Having a long history involving gunfights, the Rangers, and military service, Jared provides for his grandmother and frivolous stepbrother, Andrew. Finding the fiesty newcomer, Noelle in his home, sets in motion the fulfillment of his dreams, even before he knows he has them.
A very enjoyable story. A little thrown off by the time frame with the going back and forth between gunfights and horseback riding to the typewriter and telephone. It all seemed just a little weird but this book was a nice change from my usual reads :)
"too many historical event references -annoying"
? It was an ok read.
Remove a heap of the unnecessary historical event references added! I understand that its the norm for an author to research the period in which the story is set to make it more authentic, but I think tthe author decided to add everything they found. Almost every single american historical event was mentioned and it just felt completely unnecessary and became annoying. It felt like the author felt they had to mention anything that happened in that time in order for the audience to believe it was set then? blah!
already feels very like "sabrina" set in historical america. and that had already been made twice.
"An enjoyable read"
Noelle is one of those books that starts out slowly, and you wonder if you're going to like it. Then the characters come to life, and you find yourself doing anything you can, just to keep the ear-buds in, so you can listen. It's the typical kind of love story, where they both love each other, but neither one of them is aware of the others feelings. It grows exasperating, waiting for the predictable outcome. But, nonetheless it's an enjoyable read, for those that like Chic Flicks.
"A Love For Noelle"
I never read the print so I have nothing to compare it to. I enjoyed the audio.
It was a cross between My Fair Lady and A Time To Kill
Jared, I thought of him as a complex person with so many facets
I did not find anything wrong with the performance
Sassy dialogue, humor, and a great reader are important to me.
"My Fair Lady Western style"
If you are a Diana Palmer fan, this is a must. It has it all, tender and tears.
When Noelle stomps on our hero's hat.
I love all of Ms Ross's performances. I buy books based on her recordings.
This is a tear maker all around

Most of the populated world fears the apocalyptic nightmare scenario. Whether due to nuclear war, depletion of natural resources, destruction of the modern monoliths defining our world or simply an object of space debris colliding with the planet to cause collateral damage, fear of the unknown may be worse than the actual act of destruction.

Somehow, when our parents told us that it's better to give than to receive, we never really believed them. But according to a new study, they may have been telling the truth. The study, which tracked more than 100 Canadian 10th graders, found that those who did weekly volunteer work had lower risk of developing cardiovascular disease later in life than those who didn't volunteer. Those risk factors included BMI (body mass index) and cholesterol levels, which researchers measured before and after the study.
Half of the kids were randomly assigned to do an hour of volunteer work with younger students in after-school programs at a neighborhood elementary school. After 10 weeks, the researchers found that the volunteers had lower levels of inflammation and cholesterol and lower BMI than the control group (that didn't do any volunteering). "It was encouraging to see how a social intervention to support members of the community also improved the health of adolescents," said lead researcher Hannah Schreier, of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York.
The researchers also measured the participants overall happiness and according to Dr. Schreier, "The volunteers who reported the greatest increases in empathy, altruistic behaviour and mental health were the ones who also saw the greatest improvements in their cardiovascular health."
Schreier's results are in line with previous research that has found that volunteering is good for overall health. In one study, preteens who performed acts of kindness were rated happier than their less kind peers. And a study by a charity in the UK found that older people who volunteer are less depressed, have a better quality of life and are happier with their lives as a result. Volunteers also saw a reduction in depression and a perceived increase in their quality of life.
Schrier's study was published online in the journal JAMA Pediatrics. You can read an abstract here.

Word Toggle 5Make the necessary number of adjustments to turn the nonsense string into a word
The goal of this brainteaser is to toggle the letters up or down in the alphabet to create an English word. Each puzzle consists of a string of nonsense letters as well as a number indicating how many moves you are allowed to make. Starting from here, you need to make adjustments to some or all of the letters in order to arrive at a real word. For example, you might take the puzzle 'DOART (6)' and adjust it to make the word 'CLASS' by moving D -> C, O -> L, R -> S & T -> S which is a total of 6 moves up or down in the alphabet. Notice that the letter A did not get adjusted – you are free to leave some letters unchanged. New puzzles added weekly.

We just got the rate increase for our employee health care and its gone up yet again. Last year 19% the year before that 23% and before that 37% .
Participation is getting smaller as some are going without ins. and some a switch to another private Co. We currently pay half and ever year suck up the increase as well as the employees. This is creating feelings of ill will as the employees only see a smaller paycheck. I am actually hoping that if a few more folks opt out that we will no longer eligible for a group plan and the insurance companies will no longer accept us. I want out of the insurance business. The insurace companies to me seem like the goverenment, they do not increase the value of service and yet still increase cost. I cant wait for nationalized health care.

"Jan. 29, 2013 -- Every year, about 48 million Americans -- 1 in 6 -- get a food-borne illness.Â
Often, the culprit food is a mystery.
Now, a new CDC report based on a decade of data offers the first comprehensive estimates"...
(Generic versions may still be available.)
(nefazodone hydrochloride) Tablets
Cases of life-threatening hepatic failure have been reported in patients treated with SERZONE (nefazodone) . The reported rate in the United States is about 1 case of liver failure resulting in death or transplant per 250,000- 300,000 patient-years of SERZONE (nefazodone) treatment. The total patient-years is a summation of each patients duration of exposure expressed in years. For example, 1 patient-year is equal to 2 patients each treated for 6 months, 3 patients each treated for 4 months, etc. (See WARNINGS.)Ordinarily, treatment with SERZONE (nefazodone) should not be initiated in individuals with active liver disease or with elevated baseline serum transaminases. There is no evidence that pre-existing liver disease increases the likelihood of developing liver failure, however, baseline abnormalities can complicate patient monitoring.
Patients should be advised to be alert for signs and symptoms of liver dysfunction (jaundice, anorexia, gastrointestinal complaints, malaise, etc) and to report them to their doctor immediately if they occur.
SERZONE (nefazodone) should be discontinued if clinical signs or symptoms suggest liver failure (see PRECAUTIONS: Information for Patients). Patients who develop evidence of hepatocellular injury such as increased serum AST or serum ALT levels ≥ 3 times the upper limit of NORMAL, while on SERZONE (nefazodone) should be withdrawn from the drug. These patients should be presumed to be at increased risk for liver injury if SERZONE (nefazodone) is reintroduced. Accordingly, such patients should not be considered for re-treatment.
Antidepressants increased the risk of suicidal thinking and behavior (suicidality) in short-term studies in children and adolescents with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and other psychiatric disorders. Anyone considering the use of SERZONE (nefazodone) or any other antidepressant in a child or adolescent must balance this risk with the clinical need. Patients who are started on therapy should be observed closely for clinical worsening, suicidality, or unusual changes in behavior. Families and caregivers should be advised of the need for close observation and communication with the prescriber. SERZONE (nefazodone) is not approved for use in pediatric patients. (See WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS: Pediatric Use.)
Pooled analyses of short-term (4 to 16 weeks) placebo-controlled trials of nine antidepressant drugs (SSRIs and others) in children and adolescents with major depressive disorder (MDD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), or other psychiatric disorders (a total of 24 trials involving over 4400 patients) have revealed a greater risk of adverse events representing suicidal thinking or behavior (suicidality) during the first few months of treatment in those receiving antidepressants. The average risk of such events in patients receiving antidepressants was 4%, twice the placebo risk of 2%. No suicides occurred in these trials.
SERZONE® (nefazodone hydrochloride) is an antidepressant for oral administration with a chemical structure unrelated to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, tricyclics, tetracyclics, or monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI).
Nefazodone hydrochloride is a synthetically derived phenylpiperazine antidepressant. The chemical name for nefazodone hydrochloride is 2-[3-[4-(3-chlorophenyl) -1-piperazinyl]propyl] -5-ethyl-2,4-dihydro-4-(2-phenoxyethyl) -3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one monohydrochloride. The molecular formula is C25H32ClN5O2 HCl, which corresponds to a molecular weight of 506.5. The structural formula is:
Nefazodone hydrochloride is a nonhygroscopic, white crystalline solid. It is freely soluble in chloroform, soluble in propylene glycol, and slightly soluble in polyethylene glycol and water.
SERZONE (nefazodone) is supplied as hexagonal tablets containing 50 mg, 100 mg, 150 mg, 200 mg, or 250 mg of nefazodone hydrochloride and the following inactive ingredients: microcrystalline cellulose, povidone, sodium starch glycolate, colloidal silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate, and iron oxides (red and/or yellow) as colorants.
What are the precautions when taking nefazodone (Serzone)?
See also Warning section.
Before taking nefazodone, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or to trazodone; or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.
Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: liver disease, personal or family history of psychiatric disorder (e.g., bipolar/manic-depressive disorder), personal or family history of suicide attempts, heart/blood vessel disease (e.g., history of stroke/heart attack), loss of too much body water (dehydration), seizures, intestinal ulcers/bleeding (peptic ulcer disease), personal or family history of glaucoma...

Research Summary
Research in our laboratory investigates how neurons acquire distinct identities and form precise connections in the developing cerebral cortex, a part of the brain involved in a variety of higher cognitive, emotional, sensory, and motor functions. We also study how these developmental processes have changed during evolution and in human disorders. We study these problems for primarily two reasons. The first reason is to explore what it is about our brain that makes us human. The most important distinction between humans and other species is largely thought to reside in the unique features of human brain development, especially the way in which intricate neuronal circuits of the cerebral cortex are wired. The second reason for this research is to understand why humans suffer from certain brain diseases. The emergence of intricate neuronal circuits has given us remarkable cognitive abilities, but may have also increased our susceptibility to disorders such as autism and schizophrenia.
An important element of our research is the integration of complementary approaches at the interface of developmental neurobiology, molecular biology, comparative genomics, and genetics. To achieve this, we combine
- Analyses of evolutionarily conserved developmental mechanisms using the genetically tractable mouse model
- Comparative analyses to identify human-specific features of brain development
- Genetic and molecular analyses of disorders of human cognitive development

The perfect gift for any art enthusiast:Memberships start at just $85.
NARRATOR: Alexander Calder's Object with Red Discs is a fascinating study in movement and balance. A pyramidal base grounds a long steel rod, which serves as the sculpture's axis. A black wooden ball at its bottom serves as a counterweight to five projecting wires, each capped by a red aluminum disc. Many of the sculpture's joints are open pivot points, so it's able to swing and rotate playfully.
Calder made this work at a time when he was just developing his idea of moving sculpture in Calder's Circus. He was further inspired by a 1930 visit to the Paris studio of the Dutch abstract painter Piet Mondrian. On the walls of Mondrian's studio were pieces of cardboard that he'd painted, intending to explore the relations of pure shape and color. Calder later described the experience of seeing them as a shock and a revelation. Abstraction wasn't entirely new to Calder, but it now made sense to him in a new way. Calder imagined Mondrian's cardboard pieces moving, or in Calder's more technical, engineering language: "oscillating." He wondered what would happen if these forms could really move. The thought soon inspired him to develop abstract sculptures with moving parts like this one.

ok, if you've seen my other post on the death star and cloud city playset, same thing for Jabba's palace playset: make it modulare where you can add-on to it to make it big and multi leveled. It would be cool to have the trap door open up in the throne room leading DOWN to the rancor pit.
What do you, the collectors, think of this concept?
possible rooms/playsets are:
the throne room, the rancor pit, the dungeon, the main entrance and the droid toture chamber as examples.

Whooping cough, or pertussis, mainly affects infants and young children. Pertussis causes intense fits or spells (paroxysms) of coughing. The cough often ends with the characteristic whooping sound as air is inhaled. Whooping cough causes coughing spells so bad that it is hard for infants and children to eat, drink, or breathe. These spells can last for weeks. In infants, it may cause periods of apnea (not breathing).
Whooping cough caused thousands of deaths in the 1930s and 1940s. But, with the advent of the pertussis vaccine, the rate of disease and death has declined dramatically. Recent epidemics have occurred in areas where vaccine rates have fallen. Even though pertussis vaccines are very effective, if pertussis is spreading in the community, there is a chance that a fully vaccinated person can catch the disease. The vaccine's protection also wears off over time, meaning that teens and adults who have not had a booster may help spread the disease during an outbreak.
Whooping cough is caused by the Bordetella pertussis bacterium. It is spread from person to person through droplets in the air (coughing and sneezing) and is highly contagious. Once the bacteria are in the child's airways, swelling of the airways and mucus production starts. Usually, the disease starts like the common cold, with a runny nose or congestion, sneezing, and sometimes a mild cough or fever. Usually, after 1 to 2 weeks, severe coughing begins.
Although the disease can usually be prevented with the vaccine, it is not 100% effective.
Whooping cough is worse for children under 1 year of age and is fatal is some cases.
In the U.S., thousands of new cases are reported each year.
The disease usually takes 1 to 3 weeks to incubate, with the child usually passing through 3 stages. The following are the most common symptoms of whooping cough, according to each stage. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. In infants, the cough may be very hard to hear. Infants may have a pause in breathing called "apnea" instead of a cough. If you notice this, call your child's healthcare provider or take your child to the hospital immediately. Symptoms may include:
Catarrhal stage (often lasts 1 to 2 weeks):
Mild cough
Low grade fever
Runny nose
Acute phase (may last for 1 to 6 weeks; can persist to 10 weeks):
Cough gets worse and comes in severe fits
Cough is dry and harsh
Cough ends with a whoop sound on inspiration
Child may vomit with the coughing and appear to be strangling on the vomit
Cough can be started by many factors, including feeding, crying, or playing
Recovery phase (weeks to months):
Vomiting and the whooping cough cease first
The cough usually decreases around the sixth week, but may continue on occasion for the next 1 to 2 months. Whooping cough used to be called the "100-day cough" because it can last for weeks to months.
Whooping cough can lead to pneumonia and other complications.
The symptoms of whooping cough may look like other medical conditions. Always see your child's healthcare provider for a diagnosis.
Your child's healthcare provider will review his or her medical history and do a physical exam. Whooping cough is often confirmed with a culture (mucus, nasal secretions) taken from the nose.
Your child's healthcare provider will figure out the best treatment based on:
How old your child is
His or her overall health and medical history
How sick he or she is
How well your child can handle specific medicines, procedures, or therapies
How long the condition is expected to last
Your opinion or preference
In some cases, the child may be hospitalized for supportive care and monitoring. Sometimes, oxygen and intravenous (IV) fluids are needed until the child starts to recover. Your child's healthcare provider may order antibiotic treatment. Depending on when they are started, antibiotics may not shorten the course of illness, but they will prevent the spread of infection to others.
Family members and other people who have been in close contact with the child usually are started on antibiotic therapy, regardless of whether they have received the vaccine or not.
Other treatment may include the following:
Keeping your child comfortably warm
Feeding your child small, frequent meals
Giving your child plenty of fluids
Preventing situations that cause coughing
The whooping cough vaccine is routinely given to children in the first year of life. But, cases of the disease still occur, especially in infants younger than 6 months of age. Since the immunity from the vaccine declines over time (often 10 to 20 years), older adults who have been in close contact with a child with whooping cough (such as a grandparent) are also especially at risk.
According to the CDC, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of cases of pertussis since the 1980s. The CDC recommends that children get 5 DTaP shots for maximum protection against pertussis. A DTaP shot is a combination vaccine that protects against 3 diseases: diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis. The first 3 shots are given at 2, 4, and 6 months of age. Between 15 and 18 months of age, the fourth shot is given, and a fifth shot when a child enters school at 4 to 6 years of age. At regular checkups for 11- or 12-year-olds, a preteen should get a dose of Tdap. The Tdap booster contains tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis. All adults over 19 who haven't had the Tdap should have a dose, as should all pregnant women in their third trimester or every pregnancy, even if they have had the Tdap before. Adults should then have a Td booster every 10 years but shouldn't wait to get Tdap if they recently had a Td booster. Always see your child's healthcare provider for advice.

Q. What is a Bypass Valve for?
A. The Bypass valve is needed to put the water softener in bypass and still have water to the house. It's like having insurance it is there if you need it, but is seldom used. Note: if you already have a bypass valve installed in your plumbing system, use the Bypass Valve drop down menu to remove it from your order. This will lower your price by $10.00.
Q. What is a Safety Float?
A. The safety float is an emergency float. Its function is to make sure that the salt tank cannot overflow salt water all over your floor if the injectors on the water softener valve get plugged up. Without the safety float you could have a mess on your hands not to mention possible damage to the floor.
Q. What is a Brine Well for?
A. Brine well isolates the air check valve on the safety float from the rock salt or potassium chloride a substitute for rock salt that is environmentally friendly and healthy for humans from clogging up the air check valve and the water softener valve.
Q. What is a Grid Plate AKA Salt Platform?
A. Grid plate is at the bottom of the salt tank its purpose is to help the salt or potassium chloride from bridging up hardening over the top of the water. When this happens the water can't dissolve the salt so when the water softener regenerates the resin beads will not get charged and your water will be hard.
Q. Why is the 8% Crosslink Resin better?
A. 8% crosslink is more resistant against chlorine than the 6% that most other companies offer. Therefore, the resin is intended to last longer.
Q. Why is an appropriate size mineral a.k.a Resin Tank important?
A. It is important to have a minimum of 12" to 15" of space between the top of the resin bed and the bottom of the control valve so the resin can get lifted and cleaned properly during backwash. If there is not proper space the resin will not perform properly and will go bad quickly. All of our tanks our sized properly and allow the proper 12" to 15" space.
Q. What size Brine Tank should I choose?
A. If you have the floor space choose the round 18x33 brine tank. It is built better than the rectangular and square tanks and holds more salt. We do not charge for the 18x33 brine tanks. Choose the size that is best for your application on our drop down menu. Please note: 64,000 grain capacity water softeners and up will not work properly with smaller brine tanks.

THERE are towns in France so associated with coals and cotton that no traveller expects to meet with aught else upon their borders, and it is only as a halting‐place breaking the long journey into Belgium that any traveller would naturally spend a night at St. Quintin, unless he were a philanthropist bent upon a visit to the famous cité ouvrière of Guise, known to manufacturing Europe as a twin rival of our own Saltaire. A tourist giving two hours to the town, after a night spent at a railway hotel amid the whistles of the luggage trains on that Great Northern line, sees before him a very wide street, sloping uphill, to the not unpicturesque town. On the right is the cathedral, nearly a mile away; on the left rises the great roof of an old abbey now used as a spinning factory. On the broad pavement are pots and pans, carrots and onions, boots page: 297 and slippers and wooden shoes; and right in the midst of the thoroughfare, where it spreads out into a wide circle, is a monument; it is large and imposing, and on the top stands a female figure; her head is ornamented with a diadem of battlements, and her right hand rests upon a spinning‐wheel; she symbolizes the good town of St. Quintin, the town of spinners; but on either side of her are bas‐reliefs of a battlefield commanded by an elderly general in spectacles, and at her back, facing the upper street, is sculptured the haughty inspired head of the "Fou Furieux" Leon Gambetta.
And this was the short story told by the shoemaker.
It was the very fag‐end of the siege of Paris, and the great city could hold out no longer, and a general effort was ordered to be made of troops fighting all round about, so that the sortie which we now call the Battle of Buzenval, the last sortie from Paris, which took place on the 21st of January, might have a chance of success. And it nearly did have it, for the French were uppermost on that dark winter afternoon, when they were forced to desist by the waning day‐ page: 298 light daylight from pushing on to the Prussian headquarters at Versailles. That was the sortie in which Regnier the artist was killed in his glorious youth. He was a "Prix de Rome," and all his early works announced a future of unsurpassed success. In that same famous fatal sortie marched a more elderly professor. He was then past forty, the father of many boys, and the very last human being with whom could be associated ideas of bloodshed; from him, as he sits in his velvet cap, may be heard the story of what happened at Buzenval.
But Buzenval, whenever planned, did not come off till the 21st of January, and by some dismal mistake, or the want of some necessary communication such as was for ever happening in that saddest war, General Faidherbe and his Army of the North turned up at St. Quintin and met the Germans on the 19th, two days too soon. The shoemaker said one could read all about it in any history of the war; so one could, but not so graphically as he told it to me in his shop in the midst of the town. Thus:—
"The man with the spectacles managed his troops so well, that after fighting all through page: 299 one day and part of the next, they beat; and this also perpetually happened in the side issues of the war. But then—along that northern railway connecting St. Quintin with Paris, and having started from the occupied zone encircling the besieged city, came up train after train filled with fresh, well‐fed Germans. Shriek went the whistles as the men with spiked helmets got out of the carriages and formed. It seemed to the St. Quintin people as if the trains would never have done coming, and by dusk General Faidherbe was beaten back, and the town of St. Quintin was given over to pillage for over two hours."
"Pillage! It was said the Germans never pillaged!"
"Ah, well, this was an open town, and our gendarmes had fought with the regular French troops, which, being an irregular proceeding, was punished by pillage."
"And what did the Germans really do?" said the hearer, looking with troubled eyes up the broad, busy street.
Said the shoemaker, "Luckily for us it was just dark, or matters would have gone much page: 300 worse. What they did was to run into the cafés and drink the wine, and if they wanted anything, boots for instance, they carried off five or six pairs to be sure of a fit, and so on with clothes—shirts, drawers, and stockings; but it was certainly a great mercy that they rushed round for two hours in the dark, or we should have been much worse off."
"And was there a great slaughter on the battle‐field outside the town?"
"Yes, the worst was by the windmill which you can see sculptured on the monument. Altogether I suppose there were from fifteen to twenty thousand killed or wounded."
"Alas! mothers' sons! and all for nothing, absolutely nothing!"
"And what became of the man in spectacles?"
"Ah! General Faidherbe is now Commander‐in‐chief of the Legion of Honour, and lives at the Chancellerie in Paris; but he was so crippled by the rheumatism he caught in all his campings out, that he goes about in a little chair on wheels in which he pushes himself along, you know. You can see him any day."page: 301
Perhaps this was legendary; perhaps Faidherbe did not propel himself along the quays like the crippled artists upon the pavement, but the shoemaker fully believes that he did. What is certain is that he lived for nineteen years longer, bearing, as did so many thousand others, the penalty of broken health as the result of the campaigns of 1870‐71.

Emergency Information Update
Welcome to our web site! We are proud to be recognized by the National Weather Service as a "Storm Ready Community. We are equally as proud to be Indiana's first Project Impact Community! We are also the first "Showcase Community" designated by the Institute of Business and Home Safety. Our office is located at 3500 North Harlan Avenue on the second floor of the Vanderburgh County Jail. We encourage you to explore our web site.
Responsibilities of the Emergency Management Agency
The Evansville/Vanderburgh County Emergency Management Agency is responsible for the mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery from major emergencies and disasters that would affect the City of Evansville and Vanderburgh County.
Mitigation means any preventative activity or action that is taken before an emergency or disaster strikes a community. Just like you have been to the doctor for a vaccination, the City and County have taken actions to lessen the effects of an earthquake or other emergency. Some examples of what we have done include:
Structural strengthening of area fire stations as to protect the fire engines inside.
Drilling a well at Deaconess Hospital so the community would have a secondary source of drinking water.
Securing and strapping bookcases, water heaters, and light fixtures to withstand high wind and ground movement.
Establishing partnerships between the public and business communities.
Preparedness means getting ready for an emergency or disaster to strike. One of the most important parts of our job is to be sure that the City of Evansville and Vanderburgh Co. are prepared for not only an earthquake, but also any disaster or major emergency. Some examples of preparedness are:
Response is the process of dealing with the immediate effects of the emergency or disaster. If there were a fire, the response would be to put the fire out.
Some of many actions that we would take in the response phase of an emergency or disaster are:
Recovery is the phase when we pick up the pieces and rebuild our community. This is when we all work together to restore things to they way they were before the disaster struck. If we are to do this effectively, we will have go back to the beginning and consider mitigation as we rebuild and recover. It is important that the community learns from experience. For example, we can keep repairing damage to a house that gets caught in a flood year after year, or we can spend the money once to move the home to an area that will not flood.
When we complete the recovery phase, it is our goal that we will be better able to resist, respond, and recover from any emergency or disaster than we previously were

National Park
South Dakota
A Record in Rock
A 65 million-year-old layer of black rock called the Pierre Shale formed on the bottom of an ancient sea and is the oldest formation in the Badlands. Next come the layers of the Eocene and Oligocene epochs. These hold fossil bones of land mammals. Countless animals lived and died on these plains, their flesh and bones consumed by predators and scavengers. Those remains left intact were buried by periodic floods and converted into fossils. These deposits constitute one of the richest fossil beds known. The great variety of Badlands fossils has given the Oligocene the name "Golden Age of Mammals".
Of Time and the Badlands
Out of the Dakota prairie, rain, wind and frost have carved steep canyons, sharp ridges, gullies, spires, and knobs, providing a glimpse into the relentless pace of geologic change. For not only has erosion created a new landscape, it has also bared rocks laid down as sediments during the Eocene and Oligocene epochs between 37 and 23 million years ago revealing a record of the past to us.
At the close of the Eocene (about 34 million years ago), this land was a broad marshy plain crossed by sluggish streams flowing from highlands to the west. As the Oligocene Epoch drew to a close, volcanoes to the west and southwest ejected huge volumes of ash into the atmosphere. Borne eastward by the winds, the ash fell and became the whitish layer near the top of the Badlands formations. Slowly the climate began to change and increasingly dry winds blew from the north. Rainfall diminished. Grass, able to grow with less water, invaded and occupied the drying realms of forest and swamps. The animals changed too, with grasseaters and those able to withstand a more vigorous climate coming to the fore while other species disappeared. The water that today eats into the soft Badlands formations falls mostly as rain during torrential spring and summer storms. Present annual precipitation, including the storms, is only 16 inches, just enough to sustain the grass.

The White River Badlands of South Dakota are considered to be the birthplace of the science of vertebrate paleontology. Badlands National Park is very active in conducting field research through partner universities. The park has a full time professional paleontologist, as well as an active agreement with the South Dakota School of Mines for fossil preparation. Badlands National Park formations date from the late Eocene and Oligocene epochs, the Age of Mammals. Although some are disappointed when they learn that Badlands National Park is not home to dinosaurs, the rich diversity of extinct mammal life becomes fascinating.
