Our attorneys are associates from the esteemed National College of DUI Protection and often go to DUI protection seminars around the United States annually. Our lawyers handle an abundance of DUI cases each year and have friendly associations with prosecutors as well as judges inside each of the legal courts we visit. Due to the fact each of our attorneys focus so intensely on DUI situations, they have substantially much more experience to operate from than various other lawyers who might not necessarily be as experienced with each and every facet of DUI defense law. Comprehending the principals associated with compound blood and breath tests, connection between intake, medication side effects, and just how police carry out their particular investigations are generally all part of the experience we provide in the court system. Our own DUI lawyers are aware of procedure, know exactly how law enforcement officials could possibly lie during their investigation, as well as have learned to determine errors in their claim against you. We'll combat boldly with the prosecutors as well as challenge their particular specifics to make sure that you're given every single opportunity to get the case terminated ahead of trial.
Why To Attack Your DUI Situation
Most people assume because the authorities arrested them, they must always be guilty. These people may have friends and family members believing their imagined behavior and try to convince a person to give in to the DUI charge prior to speaking with the DUI attorney. The single most significant trouble with this is that an individual simply do not have access to the specifics to your situation and more significantly, it really is not your task to be able to prove your very own guilt – Bear in mind, it is the arresting department and also prosecutor's task to prove over and above a reasonable doubt that you're liable with regard to DUI. Which means they need to put together facts and evidence concerning the claim that would prove to the judge and the court that you're guilty. With all this burden of proof, there are many legitimate processes they must adhere to during the stop, examination, field sobriety test (if done) breath and blood tests, observation period, and within the particular police document that they must follow. Basically after they have implemented everything to near perfection and have proven beyond an acceptable doubt that you're guilty, can you be found guilty. Simply by working with a DUI attorney to be able to represent you, each facet of the event can be carefully checked out and questioned to dispel just about any opinionated "facts" and put the file right. Exclusively a experienced DUI lawyer with the particular form of experience our firm presents can easily direct you through the progression and get your penalty charges diminished, terminated or found NOT GUILTY.

'"With Golisano, the fans have no worries about him moving the team," he says. "It's more a question of all the problems the NHL is having. We've got a stable owner in Buffalo, but not a stable league."'
Archives for September 2003
Optimism surges over future of Bills, Sabres
Sullivan provides answers for Hawks
'Steve Sullivan completed his hat trick with the game-winner with 15 seconds left in the third period off a feed from Brett McLean.'
Thibault slowly getting back on track
'The Hawks blew several leads, but Steve Sullivan's three goals — the last with 14.9 seconds left in the third period — still produced a 5-4 victory over the Buffalo Sabres before 10,072 at the United Center.'
Hawks trio clicks again
'Sullivan had 3 goals and Ruutu 2 assists in Sunday's 5-4 win over Buffalo at the United Center, yet coach Brian Sutter continued to hedge on whether he planned to keep the trio together once the regular season commences in 10 days.'
Sabres season preview
'"They helped themselves by adding Andy Delmore and Drury. They've got a good battle with three goalies, but I'd have to say they're a long shot to make the playoffs."'
Chicago 5, Buffalo 4
'Paul Gaustad, Chris Drury, Andy Delmore and Chris Taylor scored for the Sabres. Norman Milley and Rory Fitzpatrick each had two assists for Buffalo (1-2-0-1).'

Sabres Season Preview
'There is no doubt that there is a very bright future ahead for the Buffalo Sabres.'
Gainey blasts fans
'As befitting any Montreal-Buffalo contest, feelings ran high but there was only one real altercation, with Buffalo rookie goon Andrew Peters landing several good punches before Gordie Dwyer wrestled him to the ice.'
Souray powers Habs to victory
'A 3-1 victory over the Sabres came thanks in large part to the play of Sheldon Souray, who, after missing the entire 2002-2003 season due to a wrist injury that required successive surgeries, is looking increasingly like the dominant force that helped lead Montreal to the second round of the playoffs the previous year. Souray scored, added an assist, racked up 21 penalty minutes on five infractions, and led the team with four shots. He finished the game at plus-2, one of five Montreal players, including the entire line of Richard Zednik, Mike Ribeiro, and Marcel Hossa, to do so.'
Montreal 3, Buffalo 1
'Curtis Brown scored Buffalo's goal early in the second. The Sabres fell to 1-1-0-1.'
Montreal 3, Buffalo 1
'Curtis Brown scored Buffalo's lone goal during a power play in the opening minute of the second period.'

By Chris Harris
Johan Djourou believes Arsenal fans will see the best of him now he is back in the centre of defence.
The Swiss international was one of a number of auxiliary right backs deployed in the absence of Bacary Sagna and Carl Jenkinson over the winter months and Djourou admits that he struggled at times in that unfamiliar role.
Injuries to Per Mertesacker and Laurent Koscielny saw Djourou return to his preferred role at AC Milan and he could keep his place for the FA Cup trip to Sunderland. The 25-year-old is relishing the opportunity.
"I am happy to be back in my position and to show what I am worth," Djourou told Arsenal Player.
"This season has been a bit harder for me. I have had to play out of position where I am not used to but I have tried to do my job, but I am not a [natural] right back.
"People forget and think that if you play in a position, 'Johan Djourou is a right back', but I am not, I was there to help the team. Now I am back in my position and I will show everyone my qualities."
Watch the full interview with Johan on Arsenal Player.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. - For the second time this season the attacking duo of Jack Doherty (Yorktown Heights, N.Y.) and Connor Rice (Penfield, N.Y.) each registered five points, leading the Marist men's lacrosse team to an 11-8 victory over Detroit in a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) game at Tenney Stadium. It was the conference opener for both teams.
Doherty, wearing the #34 jersey to honor former teammate Eddie Coombs, scored three goals and added two assists. It was the fourth time in five games this season that Doherty has scored at least three goals. Rice had two goals and assisted on three others. Aedan Herman (Stafford, Va.) scored twice and Joseph Radin (Long Beach, N.Y.) and Jim Marks (Camillus, N.Y.) each had a goal and an assist. Dave Scarcello (Buffalo, N.Y.) made seven saves in goal, including three in the fourth quarter. Matt Dugan (Cortland, N.Y.) went 15-21 on face-offs and scooped up a game-high nine ground balls. Long-stick midfielder Patrick Eaker (Redding, Conn.) caused five turnovers and collected six ground balls.
Marist (5-0, 1-0 MAAC) started out slow and sloppy, committing nine turnovers in the first quarter. Yet the defense forced 10 Detroit (0-6, 0-1 MAAC) turnovers and the Red Foxes only trailed 1-0 after the first period.
After the Titans scored again to start the second quarter Doherty put in his first of the game, assisted by Rice, to pull Marist within one with 12:16 left.
Doherty scored his second just 1:07 after Detroit had scored to take a 3-1 lead, against pulling the Red Foxes within a goal with 10:07 left in the second quarter.
Rice scored both of his goals in a 2:13 span to put Marist in the lead for the first time, 4-3, with 3:31 left. His first tally was assisted by Doherty and the second by Mike Begley (Brookeville, Md.). Begley found Rice in front of the goal, who, with his back to the net, flipped the ball underhanded through the goalkeepers' legs.
Herman tallied his first goal of the game, and Marist's fifth of the quarter on an assist by Doherty putting the Red Foxes up by two, 5-3, with 2:03 left before halftime.
Detroit scored with 13 seconds left in the half to cut Marist's lead to 5-4 at the midway point.
The Red Foxes came out firing in the third quarter, scoring the first four goals of the period to open up a 9-4 lead. Marks scored the first just 1:13 into the quarter. Just 1:15 later, Colin Joka (Conshohocken, Pa.) scored his first goal of the season on a man-up situation on a nice feed from Rice. At the 11:19 mark, Rice again made a nice pass, this time finding Doherty right in front of the goal to complete the hat trick. Gannon Osborn (Canandaigua, N.Y.) completed the run with an unassisted score with 7:19 left in the third quarter.
The Titans scored the final three goals of the quarter to close the gap to just 9-7 going into the final quarter.
Radin scored at the 13:02 mark to bring the Red Foxes' lead back to three at 10-7, assisted by Marks. He then found Herman with 7:27 left to put Marist up 11-7.
Marist has a quick turnaround, hitting the road for a Monday night matchup 17th-ranked Duke. Last season, the Red Foxes went down to Durham and held a fourth quarter lead before falling to the then #8 Blue Devils.

Having been backed by the National Rifle Association during their most recent campaigns, Tennessee lawmakers were hesitant to voice support for the gun-rights lobby's call on Congress Friday to fund the placement of armed guards in each of the nation's public schools.
Making remarks one week after a gunman murdered 20 children and six adult staff members at a Connecticut elementary school, along with his mother, NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre suggested members of Congress were not doing all they could to ensure the protection of schoolchildren from rouge murderers, leaving them "utterly defenseless" to the "monsters and predators of this world."
"I call on Congress today to act immediately, to appropriate whatever is necessary to put armed police officers in every school—and to do it now, to make sure that blanket of safety is in place when our children return to school in January," LaPierre said.
According to a recent Sunlight Foundation study, more than 50 percent of Congress has accepted campaign contributions from the nation's largest gun-rights lobbying arm. Boasting more than 4 million members, the NRA poured more than $18.6 million into the most recent election cycle—in efforts both to support and defeat candidates.
Benefiting from the organization's support this year were both Reps. Chuck Fleischmann and Scott DesJarlais, along with Sen. Bob Corker.
Asked to comment on LaPierre's remarks Friday, Fleischmann, who boasted his NRA endorsement in television advertisements for his most recent campaign, voiced neither support nor disagreement.
"As a father, the events in Connecticut break my heart," Fleischmann said in an emailed statement. "Children are our greatest treasure, and we need to ensure their safety, particularly in a school environment. No student should ever have to be afraid of going to school. Brenda and I send our prayers to the victims and their families."
Fleischmann accepted $2,000 in NRA contributions this year.
Offices for both DesJarlais and Corker did not respond to requests made by Nooga.com for comment. DesJarlais and Corker accepted NRA contributions this year of $2,000 and $4,950, respectively.
Sen. Lamar Alexander, one of the top six recipients of NRA cash in his most recent election, accepted $9,900 in contributions in 2006.
On Friday, Alexander indicated that congressional action would not be able to ensure student safety, as LaPierre suggested. The senator added his hope that school systems at the local level would be reviewing their current safety measures in the wake of the shooting.
"Washington can't make school safe, but parents, communities and teachers can," Alexander said in an emailed statement. "In light of the tragedy at Newtown, I would think every local school board would be thinking about whether they need to take additional steps to make their schools safe from guns and other acts of violence."
Were the gun lobby's call to gain traction, Congress would be tasked with providing funding for at least one armed guard in each of the nation's 98,817 public schools—1,803 of which are in Tennessee.
According to statistics from the U.S. Department of Labor, the annual mean wage for a security guard at elementary and secondary schools is $31,420, making a rough estimate of the cost of equipping schools with armed guards more than $3 billion nationally—and more than $56 million statewide.
According to a Wall Street Journal report, a Department of Education survey conducted during the 2009-2010 school year found that 23,200 of the nation's public schools—28 percent of those surveyed—reported having armed guards on campus at least once a week.
In the week following the attack, President Barack Obama indicated he would take immediate steps to pursue gun control-related legislation.

Every summer since 2009, Johns Hopkins Institute for NanoBioTechnology has been sending students to the lovely town of Leuven in Belgium to conduct 10 weeks of research at IMEC, that country's leader in nanoelectronics fabrication and testing. The students, both undergraduates and pre-doctoral students, collaborate on projects coordinated by Hopkins and IMEC faculty.
The research program is co-funded by the National Science Foundation International Research Experience for Students (IRES) program, by INBT and by IMEC. Travel, housing and a stipend are covered for each student. They work hard during the week, but weekends are open for European travel, which they all take advantage of.
We ask the students to blog about their experiences there. Four students are currently working at IMEC for summer 2014. This year the blog has been pretty active, so we invite you to check it out. Find out what it is like to conduct research in a foreign country. Find out about Belgian beer. Experience their summer away vicariously through their writings and photos.
You can find the IMEC blog here.
For all press inquiries regarding INBT, its faculty and programs, contact Mary Spiro, email@example.com or 410-516-4802.

OHRV paradise
Happy trails at Jericho Mountain State Park
By SARA YOUNG-KNOX
Special to the Union Leader | May 16. 2013 10:37PM
Members of the New Hampshire House Resources, Recreation and Developement Committee are ready to hit the trails at Jericho Mountain State Park. (Sara Young-Knox)
Today, thanks to collaboration among the state, city of Berlin, and ATV clubs, it's comprised of 80 miles of off-highway recreational vehicle (OHRV) trails, a campground, visitor center, picnic pavilions and more. The park's trails, and the other state ATV trails, open for the season Thursday, May 23.
State Bureau of Trails head Chris Gamache was there to give the committee an update on and a tour of the park. For the tour, he had help from three local businesses who rent ATVs: Jericho Motorsports, Northeast Snowmobile and ATV Rentals and Absolute PowerSports, and from the Androscoggin ATV Club, among others.
Before the ride, Gamache presented the Landowner of the Year to the City of Berlin. The award recognized the city for its efforts and its forward thinking in planning for the future, both in protecting the easements of present trails, and planning for new trails.

Grace Mugabe, wife of Robert Mugabe, told followers of her husband's ruling Zanu-PF party that even if he loses, Bob will never step aside to allow Morgan Tsvangirai to assume the position of president of the nation. "Even if people vote for the MDC, Morgan Tsvangirai will never step foot inside State House. He will only get to hear abut what it looks like inside State House from people who have been there. Even if Baba(Mugabe) loses, he will only leave State House to make way for someone from Zanu-Pf." She was on a tour of the rural area of Shamva to inspect homes allegedly burned down by MDC followers. She told an audience, "We want to warn the MDC they should stop immdiately this barbaric campaign of burning and destroying people's homes."
Of course, what Grace forgot to mention is that at least 50 members of the MDC have been killed by her husband's thugs and thousands of people beaten, had their homes burned or displaced. The larger question is why go through the farce of an election when the president has made clear under no condition will he leave the office of being president.

Stacey Cole's Nature Talks: An NH retiree reports from Florida on turkey vultures
January 10. 2014 8:49PM
Thanks, Don. I hope you continue to observe the wild things in your retirement. Best wishes!
It has been some time since we received a letter telling about a black chipmunk. In mid-December the following letter written by a Landaff couple, read: "We thought you would like to see our black chipmunk we call (what else?) 'Blackie.' (Included was a family Christmas card featuring "Blackie" eating bird seed while stretched out full length on a downed log. The color photo of the all-black animal in its natural background was featured on the card, with a contrasting red border. It was excellent!
"We also had two silver foxes come into our yard to eat bread we threw out. Lucky they left the chipmunks alone.
"Thank you for all the enjoyment and information we've received from your column over the years. Please don't retire!" (I'll comment on that subject later.)
According to the book "Animals of America," edited by H. E. Anthony, (at that time Curator of Mammals at the American Museum of Natural History): "Occasionally one of the five sub-species of the eastern gray squirrel will have a black color phase or melanistic form in which the animal is black all over. It is not uncommon to see these black squirrels in the northeastern United States and Canada from Illinois, Indiana and Pennsylvania northward to 46-degree latitude and west to Minnesota and Iowa." In recent years so—called "black squirrels" have been reported more frequently in southern New Hampshire.
After we published our column telling about so-called "paper" wasp nests high in trees, a long-time Londonderry reader wrote, (including photos to illustrate), a letter that read: "It reminded me of a large nest I saw after the leaves had fallen from a very large maple. The nest was 50 feet or so above the ground and about 150 feet from our house near the highway. A strong wind dislodged it a few days ago. I retrieved it, that is, most of it. It really got soaked before I located it."
At age 92, one of these days I will retire. Many popular columns as selected by our readers, are now in the book: "Stacey Cole's New Hampshire: A Lyrical Landscape." The book is available at selected book stores and also on the Internet at www.nhbooksellers.com.

Diamondbacks trade prime young talent for gritty gutty lunchbucket gamers
This should work out well.
Kirk Gibson likes toughness, but then again Kirk spent half his career on the DL.

Is this the "bully pulpit" equivalent in baseball?
Well, Prado isn't a bad player by any means, but yeah: if this is the way the organization is thinking as they trade away Upton, Young, and Bauer, it really doesn't bode well for their future.
team control for ONE year
If they extend him at a reasonable rate, I think the deal looks okay for them. If not, I think they got hosed.
Here's a fun parlor game: a lineup of players who can't be Diamondbacks due to a lack of fiery intensity on the field:
C- Buster Posey
1B- Albert Pujols
2B- Robinson Cano
SS- Derek Jeter
3B- Ryan Zimmerman
LF- Stan Musial
CF- Curtis Granderson
RF- Roberto Clemente
DH- Jim Thome
SP- Greg Maddux
RP- Mariano Rivera
I'd put them in this batting order:
You'd win a lot of games with that lineup.
As to the two pitchers, you probably wouldn't need any others (at least for one game); In his prime, Maddux could go 8 innings on about 80-90 pitches, and Mariano could take the 9th.
Rosenthal even mentions David Eckstein, the epitome of gritty but bad baseball players.
Perhaps this will be a trade that is bad for both teams.
Eh, I wouldn't say a competent fielding second baseman with a .345 career OBA was a "bad player." Hyped out of all proportion to his actual contributions on the field, no doubt, but he was a decent player for a few years.
I don't remember him ever being acquired for his skills, always his "intangibles." Lots of infielders were better than he was. Hype is right.
Yeah the problem with Eckstein wasn't Eckstein, it was the national media's fixation with him. Which is a great excuse to link to one of the best things ever written, in case anyone hasn't seen it: http://www.firejoemorgan.com/2006/10/hey-everyone-another-eckstein-article.html
I have to say that as a short guy, I always have a soft sport for the short players. Darren Sproles, David Eckstein, Early Boykins, etc.
This is even though "diminutive" David Eckstein is actually two inches taller than I am.
yes he mentions eckstein, but then he also makes his one weak move in an otherwise excellent article, which is acting like paul o'neill wasn't a good player.
o'neill as a yankee: 1 war per 52 games; upton 1 per 55.
o'neill's ops+ as a yankee: 125; upton's 117.
i don't see what rosenthal's point was supposed to be with that comparison: you'd be happy to have a bunch of paul o'neills on your team….
I'm glad David Eckstein was an Angels player, he was a good –not great, merely "good"– player for them. Considering some of the horrors I've seen play SS for the Angels since 1974, to call him "bad" is idiocy.
And really, being overhyped is a reason to think a player sucks? Wow.
Eh, I'm not sold on Justin Upton. Two of his last three seasons he hit only 17 HR's, he gets thrown out on a third of his SB attempts, his OPS was under .800 and last year RISP w 2 outs he hit .203. I'm not overly impressed. 17 HR's for a supposed top tier corner OF? Hell, playing in a huge park even fellow first overall pick Delmon Young hit more than 17 HR's last year.
Upton's still young, so maybe he'll become as good as expected. But I'm skeptical.
This is good news, however, because I've been worried for months the Tigers would trade for him. Now I'm glad they won't make that mistake.
"Still young" being…24 years old. With an MVP caliber season on his resume. But holy fuck, he lost some power last year after he hurt his thumb and he doesn't hit well in games that start at 3:00 with the roof closed, so fuck him.
Fairly characterizing others' arguments with respect and non-assholish behavior as always…
Hey, I did give you two whole sentences.
I'm totally sold on J-Up. He's an incredible talent. Check the list of rookie players who posted an ops over 800 at the age he did it. An impressive list. His down years were from injuries (shoulder and thumb). The braves fleeced tower, who has now sold low on two amazing talents by announcing his intention to do so. What a maroon.
If you're talking about Bauer, you're probably overstating the case a little bit (shortstops are more valuable than pitching prospects, Towers has a well earned reputation for evaluating pitching, and Arizona has Skaggs and Bradley in the system still), but yeah, trading away Upton without getting a single elite young talent is really bad. Maybe even worse than acquiring Cahill!
I was referring to Bauer. Sold low and let everybody know in advance that they disapproved of his personality. As for Cahill, at least he didn't give up somebody good like jarred Parker.
I wouldn't necessarily call Bauer an "amazing" talent. One of the game's best pitching prospects, sure, but not a truly elite one like Bundy or Walker. Certainly not a once a decade talent or anything. Heck, on pure talent I actually think Bradley is a better prospect. Gregorius isn't a wowing return, but if he develops into an everyday shortstop who saves a ton of runs on defense, adds value on the basepaths, and hits well enough to hold down the 8th spot in the lineup it won't be an awful deal given how scarce those kinds of shortstops are.
Agreed on Bauer. But they did sell low on him, and I don't agree with trading a high ceiling prospect like him for a lower ceiling prospect simply because the latter fills a positional need.
Not positional need, positional scarcity. Shortstops are just harder to find than even 1-2 starter types. If Gregorious ends up being a competent everyday shortstop, there's a very good chance he'll be more valuable than Bauer.
His 2011 season was very, very good. And I'm open to possibility that he had a shitty attitude last season but that in the right situation–away from Gibson–he could do well. But I can't help but notice that BJ Upton's best season by far was when he was 22 years old.
"And I'm open to possibility that he had a shitty attitude last season but that in the right situation…"
Like not playing for a team whose owner publicly ripped you when he knew (and acknowledged!) that you were playing with a thumb injury?
On the train and unable to find list I referred to. But largely hall of famers with the worst player being vada pinson. Plus, he had an 899 ops the following year at age 21. These are historic numbers at those ages.
BJ Upton's OPS in 2007, the first season he played more than 50 games, when he was 22, was .894. I get your point, but like I said, that makes me hesitant to say he's as promising in the long term as, say, Stanton, much less McCutcheon (who's improved year to year).
BTW, the first round of that draft where he was the #1 pick was loaded: Him, Zimmerman, Braun, Tulo, Ricky Romero, McCutcheon, Jay Bruce, Ellsbury…
"BJ Upton's OPS in 2007, the first season he played more than 50 games, when he was 22, was .894. I get your point, but like I said, that makes me hesitant to say he's as promising in the long term as, say, Stanton, much less McCutcheon (who's improved year to year). "
Not sure what B.J. has to do with anything other than being the guys brother, but okay. It's worth noting that Upton's "inconsistency" is entirely related to his power, and that he's pretty darn consistent in terms of batting average, OBP, and K% and BB% (he actually walked more in 2010/12 than in 2009/11). So you're basically left complaining that a 24 year old isn't consistently slugging .500+.
BJ having such close genetic relation tells us more about Justin than just about any other means of predicting, and the fact that BJ peaked as a hitter very early in his career (thus far) might just be considered a relevant factor in predictions. Might be that Upton boys reach full physical maturity faster than average, and peak sooner.
The other complaint is that he's a right fielder, so if he isn't consistently slugging .500 there's a very real question of how valuable he is.
But…but…sabermetrics! Say! Ber! Met! Rics!!!!!
[FTR, I think they have value, but people who ignore all other aspects are what Bugs called maroons.]
That makes a lot of sense. The Aaron and the DiMaggio brothers clearly support your hypothosis.
To say nothing of the much larger mass of major league players who have brothers that never even became professional baseball players in the first place!
Heck, how well could one predict Jose and Ozzie Canseco's careers based on the other?
And those dudes had exactly the same genetic material.
Actually, the DiMaggios were both gold glove CFs. One was a bit of a better hitter, yep, but looking at one can still tell us something about the other.
As for Ozzie vs Jose, much as I hate to cry steroids about anything at all, might just be some evidence for better living through chemistry, there.
Point is, the path of BJ's career is a relevant data point in looking at Justin. One data point among many. Calm down, kids.
I don't think anyone has ever posited that taking steroids can add 40 homeruns in a season. (And, besides, there's no reason to think that Ozzie didn't take steroids.)
And "bit better hitter?" Joe was as much a better hitter than Dom than Dom was of Vince (did you know there was a 3rd brother? Also a centerfielder, but lead the league in strikeouts 6 times, had a sub-250 career batting average and .413 slugging percentage.)
And did you know Barry Bonds has 2 brothers, one of whom (Bobby Jr.) never made it out of the minors and the other who never played at all)?
This is a ridiculous argument and Brien put it best: how many major league players have brothers who never played at all? Why can BJ tell us more about Justin than Ed Musial can tell us about Stan?
Wow, again, calm down.
"A bit better" was said firmly tongue in cheek. I'm a Yankee fan, I know my Joe.
And what I'm saying is it's a valid data point to consider. It does not determine how one values Justin at all, but is worth being among many things considered.
I know my sabermetrics reasonably well, I have a decade's worth of BP annuals before they became pointless to keep buying, and usually visit Fangraphs multiple times a day. I understand average career arcs for players and the potential Justin has shown at a young age. I also know that average career arcs are not legally binding commitments on players to develop value linearly or for the age 27 season to automatically be their most valuable. BJ is, to say again, A data point among many to be considered in projecting Justin's career.
Ok, I did say it was very relevant, I don't mean to try to shift goalposts.
And I stand by the original. If you're trying to figure out how his body will develop and age as a major part of projecting him then a brother a few years older is the absolute best resource you have. I could have been clearer about that, and Dana's mildly anti-sabr bent seems to have tarred me by association, but still…
RISP w 2 outs he hit .203
Oh, come on. Isolating situational hitting doesn't have any predictive power. This has no place in a serious attempt to figure out Upton's future value.
Generally speaking, 24 year olds who've had 2 outstanding MLB seasons and 2 pretty good ones provide considerable future value. You've offered no good reasons to think Upton is a uniquely bad bet amongst this elite group.
Oh, I'm sorry, I thought mediocre seasons had equal predictive value to good ones, and being brother to a guy whose best year was when he was 22 and has sucked in his late twenties was also a reason to doubt that Upton would be a reliable superstar. Thanks for convincing me that only idiots would be skeptical that a corner outfielder who in 2 of 3 seasons had an OPS under ,800 would be a superstar,
"being brother to a guy whose best year was when he was 22 and has sucked in his late twenties was also a reason to doubt that Upton would be a reliable superstar."
It's honestly hilarious that you keep saying this like you really, truly, believe it.
Look, you act like an asshole on these threads. There was a time when someone being an asshole to me prompted me to want to rhetorically bludgeon them, but I've gotten over that, and now I mostly don't have any interest in engaging with people like that. So you should probably find something more productive to do than interacting with me, like watching Zoolander with the sound off or maybe punching a gerbil.
playing in a huge park even fellow first overall pick Delmon Young hit more than 17 HR's last year.
Since they moved the fences more than a decade ago, Comerica hasn't been all that bad for home run hitters.
But for HR's it's still not good, especially for righthanders. The one thing Delmon had going for him at Comerica is rightfield isn't ridiculous and he hits a lot of his HR's to right.
for HR's it's still not good, especially for righthanders
It's 345 down the left field line line and 370 in left center, with a low wall. It's middle of the road, really. And of course, a right handed hitter for the Tigers led the league in HRs in 2008 and 2012.
For the 2011 season, Comerica actually played as slightly more friendly than average for right-handed hitters in terms of home runs (104 home runs for every 100 in the rest of the league), and below average for lefties (98).
OK, can't resist:
Of the 10 Tiger hitters who had the most AB's in 2011, 8 were either righthanded or switch hitters.
Visiting lefthanded hitters faced righthander Justin Verlander (Cy Young/MVP), righthander Rick Porcello (sinkerballer) and righthander Doug Fister (league-leading 0.458 HR/9IP), and a bullpen of righthanders Al Alburquerque (13.9 SO/9IP, no HR's yielded in 43 IP), Joaquin Benoit (0.7 HR/9IP) and Jose Valverde (49 saves in 49 opportunities).
Yeah, I'm sure it's purely the air pressure, humidity and dimensions of the stadium that explain those HR stats you cite.
Players don't matter! Viva Sabermetrics!!!
In what world does sabermetrics say that air pressure matters and players don't? If you're going to make comments like that, you kind of have to expect Brien to be an asshole to you.
Well, yeah, that's a sign that the park is average and not that one of the two best hitters of the last 10-15 years would have hit more home runs had his home park been smaller.
Also, sure, the Tigers weren't good for the first 6 years, but in the 13 years they've been in Comerica–during which time they've made the playoffs three times and the World Series twice–other than Cabrera they've had only 2 30 HR seasons, both exactly 30, one by Bobby Higginson and the other by Curtis Granderson. So obviously the park is HR friendly, and there's no chance that Cabrera would have more HR's if he played in a more HR-friendly park.
The public in Arizona dooesn't give a shit; the owner doesn't give a shit Why should something called "Lawyers, Guns & Money" give a shit?
Because "Lawyers, Guns, Money, Selected Sports, Visual Rhetoric in Undistinguished Genre Film, and BMI" was too long a name?
The article makes the whole thing sound even weirder. D-Backs executives said that he has a good work ethic and plays hard. But he doesn't deliberately make it look like he's playing hard, and that is just not acceptable.
My guess (to rip from Calcaterra) is that Towers is just looking for a "nice" way to say that the racist teabagger owner poisoned the team's relationship with Upton and they had to trade him for cents on the dollar after Upton blocked a trade to Seattle.
I wouldn't doubt there's racism involved with Upton but the Angels said the exact same thing about Jim Edmonds, he wasn't intense, didn't play with fire, wasn't giving his all for the team etc. etc. The fact that he was one of the 2 or 3 best CF in baseball and an excellent hitter didn't matter, it drove the team and his teammates *nuts*, the Angels couldn't wait to trade him after the 1999 season. Woops! I was glad Edmonds was on a WS winning team in 2006, same with Eckstein.
Really? The dude that was diving into walls on a regular basis? I don't remember that, but whodathunk all rich assholes were assholes?
Every game one of two teams win. That's hardly impressive. But grit, that's not something you see everyday!
This Giants fan would like to thank Kirk Gibson for making a repeat more possible next year.
As much as I loved Cody Ross in 2010, I don't think a team of 25 Cody Rosses would finish anywhere near .500.
I've watched and/or listened to the broadcasts of most Giants/D-Backs games since Upton broke in, and consider him a good, solid, dangerous player. He's one of those guys who always seems to be at the plate when he can do the most damage. Superior outfielder, threat on the bases, very decent average. Simply put, he's bad news if your team is playing his. Like all Giants fans, Cody Ross will always have a place in my heart, but Upton is far and away the better player. I'm glad he's out west and has settled back east.
One of my all-time faves, Gibby's long-time teammate Lou Whitaker, often pointed out that diving for every ground ball makes no sense, given that baseball is played pretty much every single day from the start of April to the end of September.
Yep, that package Arizona got sure is nothing but grit. Prado's career OPS+ is only a few points lower than Upton's, he plays a position at which there's a legit dearth of talent in the bigs currently (not to mention just about anywhere else you ask him to), he was more than twice as valuable than Upton last year, and has been around a 4 win per full season player in his career. And then there's the minor leaguers in the deal.
Even assuming Prado isn't resigned, let's do some back of the envelope WAR math. Upton is hardly a guaranteed producer, but for the sake of argument say he produces 5 wins a year for the 3 years left on contract. Johnson is a total throw in, but give him a win for the hell of it, 16 wins total over 3 years for $38.5 mil for Upto, plus guess $1.5 for Johnson to make an even $40 million, $2.5 per win.
Pencil Prado in for 3-4 next year. Say that the 4 non impact talent minor leaguers add up to one league average season per year after their rookie years, for 5 years of 2 wins a piece, 10 wins over 6 seasons. 13-14 wins, conservatively, over 6-7 seasons. Prado makes $4.75 mil this season, say the 6 years of team control of the rest adds up to $15 and change for a nice round total of $20 million for those 13-14 very rough wins, for about $1.5 per.
I'm not sure how to evaluate the fairness of that, especially considering the extreme variability in it all, but boil it down and it seems like about an equal exchange of WAR, with Arizona giving up value in how they're distributed in exchange for better bang for the buck. And there's just as much upside for Arizona as there is for Atlanta, really. Upton could have MVP seasons, and two of the minor leaguers could develop into league average players.
Tl;dr: stupid post, Campos.
Additionally, Atlanta has to spend that roughly $40 million no matter what, Arizona's only guaranteed commitment in the trade is Prado's $4.75 this coming season. If they pay any of the minor leaguers any real money it'll be for producing actual value.
That difference has real value.
And finally, Arizona had 4 starting outfielders and no legit 3rd baseman. Now they have less depth and one less hole. On paper, at least, that's a better allocation of resources.
Yes, I'd rather have Upton than any of the other three, maybe aside from Eaton if you consider cost. And yes, if it were my team I'd be worried about trading potentially rare talent for what amounts to depth. But this isn't Myers for Shields.
Say that the 4 non impact talent minor leaguers add up to one league average season per year after their rookie years, for 5 years of 2 wins a piece, 10 wins over 6 seasons. 13-14 wins, conservatively, over 6-7 seasons.
Honestly, I don't know that this is so conservative. Delgado, at least, should have major league value, but league average is probably optimistic, at least for this coming season, and maybe past that if he doesn't improve his offspeed stuff. The other guys in the deal are fringe prospects (Spruill, Ahmed) and a non-prospect (Drury). There's a good chance that the three of them put together fail to produce any net value for the Diamondbacks at the major league level.
Well, what I'm saying is that out of 24 player seasons among the 4 of them, I bet they can find 5 2 win seasons. And I agree that 3-4 of them would be expected from Delgado.
And I also understand that compacting wins into a single roster slot has real value of its own, and is harder to do than gather depth. I'm not saying it's a good trade, necessarily, but I don't see it as a fleecing, especially considering the conditions. When they couldn't get Upton to sign off on going to Seattle it became a buyer's market.
Really, it became a buyer's market when Towers created a huge traffic jam in the outfield by signing Ross. I haven't seen a satisfactory explanation of that move yet that doesn't circle back to giving him an excuse to trade Upton.
I was going to play devil's advocate, but you're right, no excuse for it becoming a buyer's market. Best I can think of is they "had" to sign Ross first to keep him. But you just don't let a player like Cody Ross force your hand in a move like this.
"with Arizona giving up value in how they're distributed in exchange for better bang for the buck."
Erm…no. If you're getting relatively equal value, the fact that Atlanta is getting it from one player as opposed to 3-4 is a huge boon, since they can then add even more wins with the additional roster spots they have unfilled.
There are 2 slots on the 40 man involved for both teams in this trade, according to my understanding. Upton and Johnson for Arizona, Prado and Delgado for Atlanta. I might be wrong about the other 3 minor leaguers but I haven't seen mention of them needing rostering, and it looks like Delgado should have options remaining, so if anything Arizona opened up a slot to play with a bit.
Assuming Johnson sticks with Atlanta, that is.
Isn't the point here that Arizona traded away a 24 year old talent for a thirty year old talent? I think they are only 5.5 years apart, but that is prime-career for an athlete.
I've been a Tiger fan long enough that I can remember Gibson's first few years in baseball, back when he was an All-American wide receiver who didn't really understand how baseball worked. And you know what his reputation was? Not "scrappy"–that came later. He was regarded as a very talented guy lacking in discipline and having a shitty attitude. He fought with Sparky Anderson constantly. Kind of like Justin Upton . . .
It would be unusual if Gibson didn't viscerally dislike someone who reminded him of a less-developed version of himself.
Except that Upton is much farther along than Gibson was at that age (partly because Gibson played 4 years of college football)

Nov. 19, 2004
ATLANTA, Ga.- The No. 23 University of Tennessee Lady Vol swimming and diving team is in second place after the first day of the Georgia Tech Invitational concluded on Friday. UT earned a total of 250 points, trailing only No. 3 Florida, which finished with 267 points.
"We're pretty fired up and are looking forward to tomorrow's swims," Head Coach Dan Colella said. "We're off to a good start and feel like we will keep the team standings really competitive."
After morning preliminary sessions had concluded, UT had advanced Misty Cain (Marietta, Ga.) to the finals in the 500y freestyle. Megan Tomes (Cincinnati, Ohio), Kaitlyn Orstein (Pittsburgh, Pa), Elizabeth Christy (Indianapolis, Ind.), Tiffany Clay (Mason, Ohio) and Ashley Yeager (Mechanicsburg, Pa) all qualified for the 200y IM finals while Christine Magnuson (Tinley Park, Ill), Jacque Fessel (Cincinnati, Ohio), Tatiana Athayde (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), Sallye Hartman (Gates, Tenn.) and Danyelle Vincent (Rohnert Park, Calif.) moved on to the 50y freestyle finals.
First up in the pool were the relay teams, which qualified based on seed times. UT got the session off to a bang, in what would be a dominating night for the Big Orange relay squads. The quartet of Magnuson, Abbi Terveer (Lima, Ohio), Orstein and Tomes blazed to a pool-record time of 1:34.25 en route to winning the 200y freestyle relay and earning 40 points. Also performing extremely well in the event was the Tennessee "B" team. The relay team of Christy, Athayde, Fessel and Jessica Blevins (Bluefield, W.Va.) claimed a third-place showing and finished in a time of 1:36.62, netting 32 points.
"One of our goals was to do a great job in the relays this weekend," Colella said. "We felt like we had a really good chance of winning but it wasn't easy. For the 'A' and 'B' to go 1-3 is exciting."
Next up on the slate of events was the 500y freestyle. Cain, swimming in the consolation finals, notched a third-place finish and earned six points with a time of 5:02.69. Betsy Brockman (Batavia, Ohio), swimming in the bonus finals, clocked a time of 5:13.91 to finish in eighth.
Orstein and Tomes then re-entered the pool for the 200y IM finals. Both qualified with the top-eight and proceeded to finish one-two in the event, respectively. The freshman, already a provisional qualifier, lowered her time 2:03.30 en route to earning 20 points while Tomes' final marker of 2:05.02 garnered 17 points. Additionally, Orstein improved her placement on the all-time top performers list, moving from 13th to 11th. Meanwhile, Clay and Christy both scored in the consolation finals, picking up six and four points, respectively. Clay finished in 2:09.64 while Christy clocked a time of 2:10.91.Yeager also swam in the 200y IM, taking sixth in the bonus finals.
The sprinters then took over the water for the final individual swimming event on the night, the 50y freestyle. Magnuson earned a spot on the all-time performers list, posting a time of 23.63 to win the event. The final clocking placed the Illinois native as the 15th-fastest Lady Vol swimmer in program history and earned the Big Orange 20 points. Terveer picked up an additional 14 points with a fifth-place showing. The junior finished in 24.15. In the consolation final, Fessel found herself on top, with a marker of 24.42, as she brought home nine additional points. Not to be left out, Athayde won the bonus finals, finishing in 24.66. Vincent and Hartman also swam in the bonus heat, finishing in 25.26 and 25.31. S
pectators at the meet then shifted attention toward the divers, for the three-meter competition. Freshman Lauren LeRoy (Oshkosh, Wis.) finished with a career-best total of 341.10 to claim 15th place and earn UT two points.
The relay squads then reclaimed the pool, for the 400y medley relay, where the Big Orange would end the night as it had started; with a pool record. The quartet of Tomes, Orstein, Fessel and Terveer won by nearly four seconds with a time of 3:46.47 to earn 40 points. Tennessee's "B" squad picked up an additional 30 points, finishing in a time of 3:55.51.
The meet will continue on Saturday, with two sessions scheduled. The preliminary swims will begin at 10 a.m. while the finals will commence at 5:30 p.m.

Hopkins, 160 Cal. 106; Postal Telegraph Cable Co. v. City of Los Angeles, 164 Cal. 156. But cf. Spring Valley Water Works v. Barber, 99 Cal. 36, holding that a right granted a utility by general county ordinance to lay pipes under the public roads of the county was not taxable as a franchise.
Advances.—A bank account arising from money advanced to a corporation by the United States to provide the corporation, which acted as an independent contractor, with necessary funds to perform a government cost-plus-a-fixed-fee contract is the property of the corporation and is to be taxed to it as a solvent credit even through United States retained a lien superior to all other liens on the balance in the account to secure repayment of the advances under certain contingencies, the account could be used only for the purposes of the contract, withdrawals from the account were subject to the previous approval of the government contracting officer and the balance remaining in the account would be returned to the United States should it elect to terminate the contract. Timm Aircraft Corp. v. Byram, 34 Cal.2d 632.

Brooke & Jeremy
April 14
Austin, Texas
Q & A with the Bride:
1. What was the one thing about your venue that made you know it was the one?
Our whole intent was to throw a party for our friends that was distinctly Austin. The Long Center City Terrace was perfect because the backdrop was just that, the Austin skyline. It made for great dramatic pictures. Similarly, French Legation is within walking distance of all of our favorite haunts, and it is Austin's oldest home. Both spots met our goals perfectly.
2. Which six details from your wedding were your favorites?
1. How colorful all of our guests looked in their feathers and bow ties.
2. The spray-painted succulent arrangements done by Erin at Rosehip Flora.
3. The giant tapestry picnic blanket with tapestries sent from India by Jeremy's dad.
4. The custom-backdrop for our photobooth designed by Nate Nordstrom.
5. That Jeremy designed our gig posters that we gave out as party favors.
6. The fact that so many of our vendors are great friends of ours.
3. If you could offer one piece of advice for other couples planning their wedding, what would it be?
Oh that's a tough one – but I think I'll go with EAT! I regret that I didn't take a couple minutes to enjoy some of the food that I so painstakingly chose!
4. Give us the one moment from your wedding that you cannot stop thinking about.
The dance party at the end with the LCD Soundsystem tribute band All My Friends. We had our childhood best friends, our adult best friends, our families and everyone in between in a full-fledged concert-like dance party singing along to LCD Soundsystem tunes at the top of our lungs. It was even better than I could have ever imagined.

Whenever it rains, all of that water from our roofs, driveways, parking lots and roads flows into our sewer system – picking up pollutants along the way. This untreated runoff is ultimately sent into our rivers, lakes and bays and other drinking water supplies.
Instead of solely relying on aging pipes and water treatment facilities, we can use natural solutions to effectively manage the water for us. Instead of creating more pipes, we can use nature to manage water for us. Techniques like rain gardens, bioswales, permeable pavement, and green roofs are part of "green infrastructure," a planning and design approach that utilizes the natural systems of trees, plants and soil to clean and store the water, taking pressure off of our over-burdened communities.
Rep. Donna Edwards (MD) and Sen. Tom Udall (NM) have introduced a bill, The Green Infrastructure for Clean Water Act, that will help communities invest in these sustainable technologies.So far thousands of messages have been sent to Congress on behalf of the landmark Green Infrastructure for Clean Water Act.

A message from Shae Hopkins, KET's executive director
Thursday, Nov. 8, 2012
KET believes that all children, regardless of where they live, their background, or their economic status, should have access to a quality education.
In Kentucky, with more than 27 percent of our children living in poverty and with many unable to attend a quality preschool, it is vital that ALL children continue to have access to trusted educational programs like Sesame Street, The Cat in the Hat Knows A Lot About That, and Curious George.
These programs are carefully developed by educators to teach reading, science, math, and social skills that will help kids to be successful when they enter school. The programs our children enjoy also help them develop an early love of learning.
Educational media from KET and PBS is free and accessible on television, the internet, and on mobile devices. In fact, four of every five kids in America watch PBS KIDS programs.
As conversations continue about federal funding for educational television, we invite you to go to valuePBS.org to learn more about the vast service we provide. The federal investment in public broadcasting represents about one one-hundredth of 1 percent of the total federal budget. Eliminating PBS and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting would not affect the federal budget deficit, but it would devastate public media and fundamentally change KET.
Educating all of Kentucky's young minds is a wise investment, one that will pay dividends for a lifetime.

You and a couple friends will go offshore on the Mighty Minnosota for a 3 day 2 night (maybe longer) out of Port O'Connor Texas. The boat is a 45 foot Cabo Express that is a proving fish raising machine with a great Captain that can put you on Swordfish. Yellow fin tuna. Wahoo. and Marlin. We will cover the trip from the time we leave the dock until we return. Lodging can be setup for you in POC as well if your trade come with the same.
We are looking for a hunt for 3 on Antelope. Mule deer or what never else you may have to offer. We would like to bow hunt but can get the fire sticks out of the cabinet as well.

Everyone hears different timelines but it seems 3 months is becoming the timeframe to get a WRX if you ordered. only time I've seen it quicker is if you ordered a Premium or Base and the dealership you ordered from gets one in their allotment before yours is due to arrive.
edit: you said port on July 14th then figure another 1-2 weeks to get to dealership so that's about 8 weeks. not bad.

Is it time for radical new ideas about health? Is it time for government to take a more active role ensuring the health of its citizens? Professor Julian Le Grand, chair of Health England, told an audience about his new ideas to take a dramatic attack in dealing with health problems in England. His nation currently leads European Union nations with a 24.2% obesity rate. He came out for a vigorous program ensuing people exercised and a strategy to reduce smoking which still remains among the leading killers of people. Under his proposal, companies would be required to offer an "exercise hour" during working hours that enables people to engage in physical exercise programs. He also proposes requiring individuals who wish to smoke to purchase a "smoking license" each year -perhaps even requiring a doctor's signature -that would be produced when purchasing cigarettes. Le Grand argues for a form of "libertarian paternalism" in which government takes a proactive role to ensure people's health. It also requires individuals to "opt in" each year to their decision to continue smoking with all money obtained from the licenses going to the National Health Service.
The Le Grand suggestions represent an interesting new approach to smoking and exercise. He goes as far as insisting no one under the age of 18 could obtain a "smoking license," The idea of forcing the business world to allow time for exercise makes sense, and giving people the choice of opting in or out of the exercise still maintains their right of individual choice. Something has to be done in modern society to improve the health of people.


text: We're still trying to figure out how to add on features, and I have a skating kid without a Biellmann who would like to get a level 3 layback for Regionals. If she starts in a side-leaning position for 3 revs then switches to back with an 8 rev haircutter, is that level 2 or is it bumped up to 3? She would need to be in a back layback between the side and haircutter - would that need 3 revs in back position before getting into haircutter? Thanks for any thoughts, information, or advice!

Lori, I wish you were closer. I could give you enough cloth to make 30 blankets. My wife has a sewing room with 2 industrial machines, one of which is a serger, and 5 or 6 household machines. She makes most of her clothes and all my shirts. She gives away bags of quilt scraps.
Beautiful... In our younger years, we took in teenage foster children on a 30 day emergency basis until they could be placed in a permanent home. We would have each one, boys and girls, sew a top together and then all of us would quilt it by hand. Then I would bind the border on a commercial machine. It was something special they had made themselves, and could go anywhere they were placed.

Health Information
Photosensitivity (Holistic)Skip to the navigation
About This Condition
Try beta-carotene
Increase your tolerance to sunlight by supplementing with beta-carotene
Shield your skin from the sun
Steer clear of excessive sun exposure by wearing protective clothing or smoothing on sunscreen
Get a checkup
Visit a qualified healthcare provider to find out if your photosensitivity is caused by a treatable medical condition or a side effect of medication
About This Condition
People with photosensitivity have an immunological response to light, usually sunlight. They typically break out in a rash when exposed to sunlight; how much exposure it takes to cause a reaction varies from person to person. Several conditions, such as erythropoietic protoporphyria and polymorphous light eruption, share the common symptom of hypersensitivity to light-also typically sunlight.
People taking certain prescription drugs (sulfonamides, tetracycline , and thiazide diuretics) or herbs ( St. John's wort , for example) and those with systemic lupus erythematosus have increased susceptibility to adverse effects from sun exposure.
Symptoms may include a pink or red skin rash with blotchy blisters, scaly patches, or raised spots on areas directly exposed to the sun. The affected area may itch or burn, and the rash may last for several days. In some people, the reaction to sunlight gradually becomes less with subsequent exposures.
Healthy Lifestyle Tips
People with photosensitivity need to protect themselves from the sun by using sunscreen, wearing protective clothing (such as long-sleeved shirts), and avoiding excess exposure to the sun.
Eating Right
The right diet is the key to managing many diseases and to improving general quality of life. For this condition, scientific research has found benefit in the following healthy eating tips.
|Avoid alcohol
One of the conditions that may trigger photosensitivity-porphyria cutanea tarda-has been linked to alcohol consumption. People with this form of porphyria should avoid alcohol.
One of the conditions that may trigger photosensitivity-porphyria cutanea tarda-has been linked to alcohol consumption.1 People with this form of porphyria should avoid alcohol. Some people have been reported to develop a photosensitivity reaction to the artificial sweetener, saccharin.2
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by some in the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
3 Stars Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
2 Stars Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
1 Star For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
3 Stars
100,000 to 300,000 IU daily under medical supervision
Beta-carotene is able to protect against free-radical damage caused by ultraviolet light and may help increase tolerance to sunlight.
Caution: Synthetic beta-carotene has been linked to increased risk of lung cancer in smokers. Until more is known, smokers should avoid all beta-carotene supplements.
Years ago, researchers theorized that beta-carotene in skin might help protect against sensitivity to ultraviolet light from the sun. Large amounts of beta-carotene (up to 300,000 IU per day for at least several months) have allowed people with photosensitivity to stay out in the sun several times longer than they otherwise could tolerate.3 , 4 , 5 The protective effect appears to result from beta-carotene's ability to protect against free-radical damage caused by sunlight.6
1 Star
Adenosine Monophosphate
Refer to label instructions
According to one report, about half of the people with porphyria cutanea tarda who took adenosine monophosphate saw complete alleviation of their photosensitivity.
Adenosine monophosphate (AMP) is a substance made in the body that is also distributed as a supplement, although it is not widely available. According to one report, 90% of people with porphyria cutanea tarda responded well to 160 to 200 mg of AMP per day taken for at least one month.7 Complete alleviation of photosensitivity occurred in about half of the people who took AMP.
1 Star
Fish Oil
In one trial, supplementing with fish oil reduced photosensitivity in 90% of people suffering from polymorphous light eruptions.
In a small preliminary trial, supplementation with fish oil (10 grams per day for three months) reduced photosensitivity in 90% of people suffering from polymorphous light eruptions.8
1 Star
Vitamin B3 (Niacin)
Refer to label instructions
Niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3, can reduce the formation of a kynurenic acid-a substance that has been linked to photosensitivity.
Niacinamide , a form of vitamin B3, can reduce the formation of a kynurenic acid-a substance that has been linked to photosensitivity. One trial studied the effects of niacinamide in people who had polymorphous light eruption.9 While taking one gram three times per day, most people remained free of problems, despite exposure to the sun. Because of the potential for adverse effects, people taking this much niacinamide should do so only under medical supervision.
1 Star
Vitamin B6
Refer to label instructions
Vitamin B6 has been used to successfully reduce reactions to sunlight.
Cases have been reported of people with photosensitivity who responded to vitamin B6 supplementation.10 , 11 Amounts of vitamin B6 used to successfully reduce reactions to sunlight have varied considerably. Some doctors suggest a trial of 100 to 200 mg per day for three months. People wishing to take more than 200 mg of vitamin B6 per day should do so only under medical supervision.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Welllllllll did this whole story turn into a friggin disaster!
First off these are the "rivets" the friggin estimating guide refers to as "rear body rivets" and the Mercedes dealer was no better telling me that is exactly what they are. Never did figure out what the real rivet price was, I did get some of the cheaper ones Mercedes had, coated pop rivets for 1.90 each.
I don't know where this riv-nut is used. I have to assume it's for a wire loom to stick onto the stud with a plastic clip. But being the car is gone, I don't know.
So the car is gone you ask, well apparently the customer was under the impression that the shop was a "Mercedes Authorized" shop and it's not. So after I spent about an hour and a half checking in all the parts (three page invoice) I am told that the car was leaving and to not open anything, the shop that got the job will be coming by to pick them up!
The car left on the hook in minutes and that was that. I did meet the parts man over at this other shop (A HUGE shop that recently sold to a large chain of shops in the area) and he is a super nice guy, so it wasn't a total waste for me at least. But the shop sure spent a bunch on this mess!
Apparently Mercedes has a "replacement" rivet that is literally a pop rivet for 1.90 each. Still, well over $400 for the rivets to do this rear body panel.
I don't believe the insurance company can legally own the body shop where they would have their insured cars repaired, at least here in California. I seem to remember something about this in the past where it was put into law, I may be wrong, I was once.
|Martin, I'm not sure but do they make a dura mix type tube of rivet bonding adhesive and perhaps weld bonding adhesive? Or maybe standard size rivets approved for rivet bonding? Not too familiar with doing those repairs but have taken an I car class on it.
As far as fitment issues that the shop has to deal with when using AM parts that's time and costs absorbed by the shop, but in all honesty, not nearly as bad as AM parts for hot rods.
I think down the line The insurance companies will own the majority of DRP shops and it won't be announced. They want every penny they can get.
|Very interesting read.
This is the odd thing with the insurance companies out there right now, they are walking a thin line between doing things exactly as the manufacturer says and wanting us to do jack crap work and use jack crap parts to save them money, its' a VERY thin line they are walking.
On one side they have seen the insides of a court room over using sub standard parts, or seen other insurance companies (one lost a hundred million dollar suit). All the while there are lobbyist and consumer action groups fighting for the "consumers" use of these cheaper parts instead of the auto manufacturer holding them hostage with their high prices.
While all this is happening the manufacturers are adding more and more verbiage to their guidelines that state things like a frame can't be repaired it must be replaced to all the components in an air bag system need to be replaced in a deployment to no used or aftermarket parts because their integrity could compromise the cars safety features designed into it.
We are replacing parts such as a quarter panel or other weld on components just as the manufacture says so. Something we once would have done like sectioning a frame rail on a car may now be prohibited by the manufacturers guidelines and the car is deemed a total loss because of this. Where we would have repaired it two years ago using general repair guidelines set forth by someone like ICAR I-CAR - Collision Repair Training which is a recognized leader in proper repair training the manufacturer is now getting the trump card and when they say "do not cut or splice" a frame rail, we can't or the insurance company will be liable along with us. So they say go by the manufacturers guidelines and the car is a total loss because replacing the entire frame rail requires a lot more labor, including removal and reinstalling the motor.
And ICAR has changed too, you go to a class today and you will hear over and over and over "Refer to the manufacturers guidelines". I am not kidding, they are hardly teaching a thing because they will say this over and over as if what they are teaching isn't even right and you have wasted your time. I have a study manual right here in my computer hutch from an ICAR class on advanced systems like air bag and ABS and I wrote in the book every time the guy said "Refer to the manufacturers guidelines" and this statement is written on just about every page in that manual!
I see it all the time, we have a Chrysler Pacifica in the shop right now with very localized frame damage we are talking 1" of the end of the frame rail is collapsed and it may total this perfectly good car.
Things have gotten very odd, the AM parts industry has sold the insurance industry a sock of poop and they bought it hook line and sinker. There are AM parts made for your late model car that would blow you away. How would you like your insurance company saying you had to use an aftermarket radiator support in your 1 year old car? A radiator support made in China on your car that you are making payments on? I don't think so, not when you can see very clearly that the part is sub standard. The other day I got an AM bumper in for a GMC Jimmy that was much lighter, I weighed it against the OEM bumper, AM was 10.5 lbs and the OEM was 16! I don't want this kind of crap on my cars, but the insurance industry has bought the AM industries lies that they are the same! They are EXACT, no kidding. It is up to the shop to trial fit and weed out the junk. So the insurance company says USE IT, but then out of the side of their mouth they say "But we want you to repair the car properly so it's up to you to tell us if this part is substandard, if it is then buy an OEM one because we are just like that, we are a wonderful insurance company of the highest integrity and we would never want you to use a part that put our insured in danger or damaged the value of their car"
But at the same time they BEAT US UP over our AM numbers being down. They MAKE US (we are talking companies we have a contract with for "direct repair") buy and trial fit parts we KNOW aren't going to work.
Oh there you go, you got me started on the insurance industry and AM parts!
|You will discus it with the vehicles owner won´t you, and use cheaper rivets ?
|Does that price include lube?
|454 Rattler
Let's see now:
1. buy it used
2. drive it till it drops
3. dump it !!
Now, that's the answer.
0.95 for the rivet 17,00 because it´s Mercedes.
I had a loner Mercedes years ago when my car went in for crash damage repair, hated it, no room for my feet on the pedals.
The trans tunnel to kick panel width was soooo small.
I believe I had the obscene parts price of the year!
Obscene parts price of the year! How about this 09 Mercedes S550 rear body panel rivets. The rear body components on the car are aluminum, the frame members and outer quarter panels are steel. So to mate the two together they are glued and riveted. The glue is about $500, ok, that is pretty nuts being we get cartridges of a VERY similar (probably exactly the same) product for about $50. But ok, then it comes to the rivets, folks there are about 100 of these rivets used to install the rear body panel which we will be doing on this car. The cost of the rivets (they are about a 1/4 inch by 1/4 inch long) are $17.95 EACH!

Whats yalls best opinion on getting rid of late season ice , normally i just bust as large of a perimeter as i can and then push the big peices under the ice, the small peices i will broom with a large log, its alot of work but it works. Thought about getting a duck butt paddler to keep some waves going or a thrasher, what do you use?
God Bless
