Benztropine mesylate is used to treat the symptoms of Parkinson's disease and tremors caused by other medical problems or drugs.
This medication is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Benztropine mesylate comes as a tablet to take by mouth. It usually is taken at bedtime. It may be taken two or three times a day to treat tremors caused by other medical problems or drugs. You may not notice any improvement in your condition for 1-2 days. You may have to take benztropine mesylate for a long time to treat Parkinson's disease. However, it may only be needed for 1-2 weeks if your tremors are caused by other medical problems or drugs.
Your doctor may start with a small dose and increase it slowly after seeing your response to benztropine mesylate. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take benztropine mesylate exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Do not stop taking benztropine mesylate suddenly without talking with your doctor, especially if you are also taking other medications. Sudden stoppage can cause symptoms of Parkinson's disease to return.
Benztropine mesylate is also used occasionally in geriatric patients who cannot take cerebral-stimulating medications. Talk with your doctor about the possible risks of using this drug for your condition.
Before taking benztropine mesylate,
Benztropine mesylate may cause an upset stomach. Take benztropine mesylate with food or milk.
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
If you take benztropine mesylate once a day at bedtime and do not remember it until the next morning, skip the missed dose. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
Side effects from benztropine mesylate are common. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
If you experience any of the following symptoms, call your doctor immediately:
If you experience a serious side effect, you or your doctor may send a report to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online [at Web Site] or by phone [1-800-332-1088].
Keep this medication in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store it at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom). Throw away any medication that is outdated or no longer needed. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper disposal of your medication.
In case of overdose, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim has collapsed or is not breathing, call local emergency services at 911.
Symptoms of overdose may include:
Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. Your doctor may order certain lab tests to check your response to benztropine mesylate.
Do not let anyone else take your medication. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about refilling your prescription.
It is important for you to keep a written list of all of the prescription and nonprescription (over-the-counter) medicines you are taking, as well as any products such as vitamins, minerals, or other dietary supplements.

Arsène Wenger is happy with his centre-forward options.
The Arsenal manager has rotated three strikers this season, Robin van Persie taking the lion's share of first-team appearances with Marouane Chamakh and Ju Young Park in support.
Chamakh is expected to represent Morocco at the Africa Cup of Nations in January and, at first glance, that would leave Wenger with only two candidates up front. But the Frenchman sees it differently.
"I feel as well that you can count Gervinho and Walcott as strikers," explained Wenger.
"Many times in press conference people ask me why we don't play Walcott in the middle so he can play there if we need to do it.
"At the moment I have a big squad and we need to keep them all fit and motivated."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Over the course of the semester, students in Dr. Paul Bender's WTNG 200 courses have been studying the rhetoric of sustainability as it is argued in academic, civic, and professional contexts. Now, they will show their rhetorical chops. Students have selected a specific audience and designed an engaged genre project to persaude that audience to take action. Students have produced brochures, prezis, websites, videos, posters, and more. Each project is an attempt to match the needs/values of an audience to the goals and purposes of the author within the limits of the genre. Students have had to read and synthesize competing perspectives, navigate conflicting and often contradictory values, and make choices about rhetorical appeals.
Students will be presenting their projects and answering questions on April 30, May 2, and May 7 from 9:30 to 10:50 a.m. in FCAS 127 and 11 a.m. to 12:20 p.m. in FCAS 225. You are invited to join us for any or all presentations. The schedule here offers a brief overview of each day's presenters and topics.

I never thought I would wind up in Costco's monthly magazine, but I was asked to take part in a pro-con debate on "Should offshore tax havens be illegal?"
Given my fervent (and sometimes risky) support of tax competition, financial privacy, and fiscal sovereignty, regular readers won't be surprised to learn that I jumped at the opportunity.
After all, if I'm willing to take part in a debate on tax havens for the upper-income folks who read the New York Times, I should do the same thing for the middle-class folks who patronize big-box stores.
My main argument was that we need tax havens to help control the greed of the political elite. Simply stated, politicians rarely think past the next election, so they'll tax and spend until we suffer a catastrophic Greek-style fiscal collapse unless there's some sort of external check and balance.
…politicians have an unfortunate tendency to over-spend and over-tax. …And if they over-tax and over-spend for a long period, then you suffer the kind of fiscal crisis that we now see in so many European nations. That's not what any of us want, but how can we restrain politicians? There's no single answer, but "tax competition" is one of the most effective ways of controlling the greed of the political elite. …Nations with pro-growth tax systems, such as Switzerland and Singapore, attract jobs and investment from uncompetitive countries such as France and Germany. These "tax havens" force the politicians in Paris and Berlin to restrain their greed. Some complain that these low-tax jurisdictions make it hard for high-tax nations to enforce their punitive tax laws. But why should the jurisdictions with good policy, such as the Cayman Islands, be responsible for enforcing the tax law of governments that impose bad policy?
I also made the point that the best way to undermine tax havens is to make our tax system fair and reasonable with something like a flat tax.
…the best way to reduce tax evasion is lower tax rates and tax reform. If the United States had a flat tax, for instance, we would enjoy much faster growth and we would attract trillions of dollars of new investment.
And I concluded by pointing out that there are other very important moral reasons why people need financial privacy.
In addition to promoting good fiscal policy, tax havens also help protect human rights. …To cite just a few examples, tax havens offer secure financial services to political dissidents in Russia, ethnic Chinese in Indonesia and the Philippines, Jews in North Africa, gays in Iran, and farmers in Zimbabwe. The moral of the story is that tax havens should be celebrated, not persecuted.
And what did my opponent, Chye-Ching Huang from the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, have to say about the issue? To her credit, she was open and honest about wanting to finance bigger government. And she recognizes that tax competition is an obstacle to the statist agenda.
It drains the United States of tax revenues that could be used to reduce deficits or invested in critical needs, including education, healthcare, and infrastructure.
She also didn't shy away from wanting to give the scandal-plagued IRS more power and money.
U.S. policymakers could and should act… Policymakers could provide the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) with the funding it needs to ensure that people pay the taxes they owe, including sufficient funds to detect filers who are using offshore accounts to avoid paying their taxes.
Her other big point was to argue against corporate tax reforms.
…a "territorial" tax system…would further drain revenues, and domestic businesses and individual taxpayers could end up shouldering the burden of making up the difference.
Given that the United States has the highest statutory tax rate for companies in the industrialized world and ranks only 94 out of 100 nations for business "tax attractiveness," I obviously disagree with her views.
And I think she's wildly wrong to think that tax havens lead to higher taxes for ordinary citizens. Heck, even the New York Times inadvertently admitted that's not true.
In any event, I think both of us had a good opportunity to make our points, so kudos to Costco for exposing shoppers to the type of public finance discussion that normally is limited to pointy-headed policy wonks in sparsely attended Washington conferences.
That's the good news.

" Brand: Asda / Type: Chicken "
Part of ASDA's 'Chosen By You' range, the Indonesian Style Chicken Satay is amongst the best of the ready meals on the market. In fact, this range of pouched fresh ready meals from ASDA are arguably one of the best on the market, surpassing many supermarket's top own brands.
This particular meal is so incredibly flavoursome for a ready meal, you would be forgiven for thinking that a chef had just rustled it up during the morning of your purchase. The first mouthful fills your mouth with an infusion of lime and spices and the hint of chilli is enough for your body temperature to raise a notch. The initial aroma is dominated by peanuts, which acts as a great contrast to the taste. The bulk of the meal is made up of rice and chicken which ensures a nice lunchtime refuelling of carbohydrates and protein. Thrown into the mix is a good assortment of fruit and vegetables - peppers, pak choi and baby spinach which ensure, as the packet clearly advertises - "1 of 5 a day per pack" - another box ticked. At worse, the chicken can be slightly bland, but with such a good quality sauce, this is masked and unlike many ready meals, it is neither too dry nor too watery, the Goldilocks zone of moisture content!
Away from the ingredients, this product will set you back a meagre £2.50 and as I have come to realise with this range, can often found in the 'Reduced Items' section. This is presumably due to the fresh ingredients which the range uses, reducing shelf life, as opposed to being unpopular with shoppers. The particular meal I tested whilst writing this review was generously reduced in price to £1.48. The product is easy to cook at lunchtime, just tear a little 2cm cut into the top of the pouch and plonk in your 900W microwave for 3mins 45secs. No condiments required. They've got the flavour spot on. Hats off to ASDA.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|fill it up with some muriatic acid and water, then drain it out ( '55 GM car anything has a drain plug ) with the drain plug. then put the plug back in, fill it up with diesel, then drain it out, then fill it with gas, it might run kinda bad on the first fillup due to the diesel, but you could flush some new gas thru it also to stop that.
Carb. fixed but tank not!!!
Hi guy's, thanks for the idea's!!!
The Carburetor is fixed now!! It was some rust powder; not in the float needle area but in one of the other small passages in the upper part of the Carburetor!!!
I also tried that gasket fix idea!!! Everything works perfectly now!!! NO LEAKS!!!
My only problem left now is that #@%*# fuel tank!!!
I tried to remove the tank before but the "filler tube" is seized onto the tank and won't come off without some major damage!!! That's why i was asking if anybody knew of a way to "clean a fuel tank (flush/seal) without removing the fuel tank from the vehicle"!!!!!
This is the only problem i have now... Any idea's????
Hoping against hope....
All good answers ...
I use a length of chain ... and a gallon of muriac acid.
Shake the tank repeatedly ... and then pressure wash
The radiator shops in my area will not boil a fuel tank anymore.
Also the Teflon tape you used ... a piece can be separated and causing the leak ...
Deuce ... Moderator
|Henry Highrise
|What I do...is pull the fuel tank, drain it, and take it to my local radiator shop. There they vat the tank which cleans it up real nice inside and out and removes the rust. Then they plastic coat or laminate the inside for me so it cannot rust again and stop everything up.
Sounds to me, like you have rust buildup in the tank, which in turn got into the needle and seat, which made it flood.
Short of changing the filter multiple times, flushing the tank is your best bet.
|thunder customs
one poor guy to another
the carb:sounds like gunk stuck under the float,the tank is a litte bit of work but basically free I always pull the tank rinse it really well with a steam cleaner or garden hose then I dump like 4,5 jars of navel jelly(dont wince)and 2 hand fulls of CLEAN gravel now shake the heck out of the tank until everything is broke loose in the tank dump all the junk out of the tank and rinse it out when it is rinsed out good RINSE IT SOME MORE!!! dumpa jar of rubbing alcohol in it swish it around to absorb any water left over dump it out and bolt it up.I know it sounds crazy but ive probably done 20 and never had a problem.
carburetor leaking; fuel tank needs cleaning
O.K. guys, "replacement" of the parts is out due to a new cash flow problem!!!
So here's the problem:
First off is the Carburetor!!
It's the original stock 1 barrel Rochester BC model w/no manual choke. I rebuilt this Carb. less than a year ago and even though there were some minor problems (like stripped threads/lack of seal material,etc.), it has worked flawlessly until now!!
By the way, i fixed the minor problems w/Teflon tape and it seems to be holding up quite well!!
Now, the problem started when the car was out running around and it slowly sputtered then died! I was at home and it was my wife who was driving. She opened the hood and noticed that the in-line glass fuel filter was completely black!!! She didn't know what to do, so of course (on a cold & damp day), she took a screwdriver from the trunk's toolbox and tried tapping the fuel filter's "glass" sides to loosen the clogged screen. Well, i guess you can imagine what happened next?!! That's right, the glass shattered and now the car was not going anywhere!!! So anyways, the car was brought home and i checked it over. We desperately needed to get groceries across town and this is our only vehicle. So i removed the broken in-line fuel filter and put in a temporary (fuel resistant) hose. The hose is a clear plastic type used to siphon fuel. The 55 started right up, but i happened to notice while looking for leaks that more black contaminant's passed through the clear hose,& without a filter to stop it, they went straight into the fuel pump and then into the carb. There was a momentary "chug" and then the engine ran fine. The 55 ran good for about 2 weeks then the current problem happened. (i was in the hospital during this time so i couldn't replace the fuel filter!!).
So, now i get back home and check on the 55, it is still running and i'm about to replace that fuel filter when i noticed after the first 2-3 minutes of starting the car that a drop of fuel is coming from the top of the carb. Another minute later 2 drops, then 3 and so on.. until a spritz-like spray of fuel is dropping directly onto the hot exhaust manifold!!!! Well!!--that's not good!!! I have my wife start the car up again but this time with a blue shop towel slightly over the manifold to catch any gas!! I first saw the gas coming out from the throttle-linkage facing the driver, but upon closer inspection i saw fuel seemingly coming out from above the idle-arm & flowing down onto the linkage!! It looks like the fuel is coming out from the "Choke-shaft" end, where the idle-arm is connected to!!! (at the top of the carb.) I tried to tighten the connecting screw and all other possible loose parts but this did nothing!!! The 55 has sat still ever since! I was planning on replacing and upgrading the carb.but now that's not possible.
I'm no mechanic, but i have rebuilt this carb. before so my best guess is "contamination" causing some disturbance!! This seems odd to me though since when i rebuilt the carburetor last year, i found at least a full 1/4 cup of "rust powder/contaminants" inside the carburetor's fuel bowl and surrounding area's!!!!(this was before the fuel filter installation!!) Even with this Contamination the 55 Chevy's in-line 235.5 "blue flame" six motor ran o.k. (they built them good back then!!!) I would be really surprised to find that even fine rust powder could get past my fuel filter! The only time contaminants got past it was after it was accidentally broken by my wife and was replaced temporarily by a hose coupling! The fuel filter is located on the passenger side of the engine away from all heat sources and with nothing under it in case of leaks. This is a High Performance Fuel Filter that has a clear glass cylinder and a super fine micro-mesh that can be removed, cleaned and re-used!!!
That's why i think it would be weird if contamination is the problem.
In any case i guess my only way to go is to remove the carb. and inspect all passages and area's within, re-assemble and see if that does the trick!! Unless any of you guy's have a better solution or idea???????
I will take the top of the Carburetor off and check the float for leaks as well as blast air thru all passages and all surfaces!!! I'll then re-assemble the Carburetor and test for leaks!!!
By the way, I read a tip on leaking Carburetors and it said you should take a silicone gasket seal making material (like the type used in engine assembles!) and coat the Carburetor gasket on both sides with your finger. Let the gasket dry/set overnight and then install in your Carb. The tip say's any and all leaks around the gasket area's would be completely gone!!!
What do you think???? Should i try this as well????
Lastly, the "Fuel Tank"!!
I'll fix the fuel tank problem after the Carburetor's fixed. I know contaminants are coming from the tank, but when this High Performance Fuel Filter is on, it seems to capture everything!! I will keep a close eye on the filter and try and fix the Fuel Tank A.S.A.P.!! I need to have the 55 running to get it fixed (I.E. take to shop), as well as it's our only vehicle!!! I Still don't know how i'm going to get the tank clean while it's still attached to the car!! I can't afford to do the "radiator shop, flush and seal" idea or replace the tank at this time. So when i get to the tank how do i flush it?? Do i use diesel fuel or is there a better cleaner or a better way of solving my problem?
The cause of all my woes, because of all the info. above, it seems obvious that there's rust and who know's what else in there!!! The fuel gauge has not worked in years and the screen filter is missing off the fuel pick-up/sender!!!
So, how do i solve this problem?? I've tried taking the tank off but got stopped by the seized fill tube attached to the tank!! Again, replacement is out so how do i clean out the tank without removing it???
My thought is to:
Empty the tank, through a siphon hose. Remove the fuel pick-up/sending unit from the tank. Wash out interior (from filler tube?), with diesel fuel or other type of cleaner. Bad stuff comes out of pick-up/sender's mounting hole. Blast the empty tank and disconnected fuel lines with air compressor and re-assemble!!!
What do you think??? Is there a better way?? Could a shop clean out the tank with a pressure washer or some other method i'm not aware of??? Could i use water to wash out then flush with a type of cleaner then fuel?? I don't know?? Just trying to think outside the box!!!???
Any and all comments are gratefully accepted!!! If you can offer any idea's or suggestions PLEASE-PLEASE respond!!!!!!
Hoping for a solution.....
With the highest of hopes.........

Gilford Boy Scout leaders surprised to be focus at award ceremony
By DAN SEUFERT
Union Leader Correspondent | November 17. 2013 9:42PM
Gebhardt, 72, the scoutmaster, and Doucette, 61, a senior leader, both recently announced their retirement from Scout leadership at the end of this year.
"We weren't listed on the agenda that night," Doucette said with a chuckle.
Honoring the two leaders was important, said Kurt Webber, who will take over as scoutmaster in January. Troop 243 has produced 30 Eagle Scouts during Gebhardt's time as scoutmaster and 23 Eagle scouts during Doucette's time, an impressive feat for any Scout troop, he said.
Scouts at the meeting congratulated them, and on the troop's Facebook page, several former Gilford Scouts thanked their former leaders.
"It's time to bring in some new blood," Gebhardt said. "It will help to bring in younger people with new ideas; it will bring an infusion of energy.

SEATTLE, WA -- The Seattle City Council unanimously approved new rules requiring all vending machines operated on city property to be merchandised with at least 50% "healthier" and "healthiest" food and beverage selections.
Those standards are defined by Public Health-Seattle and Washington's King County, and have been required in all vending machines in city park facilities since 2010.
The guidelines list baby carrots, dried fruit, whole grain crackers and rice cakes as examples of the "healthiest" vending fare and qualify baked chips, fruit in light syrup and low-sodium nuts as being "healthier." The remaining half of vending machine selections can consist of regular chips, candy, pastries and sweetened drinks including tea, coffee, fruit drinks and sodas.
"We are working to do our part to support healthier choices for those who want them," said Mayor Mike McGinn.
Councilmember Richard Conlin, sponsor of the healthy vending machine legislation, said, "This is one way that we can support healthy and productive city employees."

Sebastien Squillaci and Abou Diaby will return to the Arsenal squad for the FA Cup Fourth Round tie against Huddersfield on Sunday at Emirates Stadium.
The centre back has been missing with a hamstring injury since the match against Leeds on January 8 while the midfielder's calf problem has meant he last figured at Wigan on Dec 29.
However both will return as Arsène Wenger shuffles his squad for another cup competition. They may be joined by Tomas Rosicky (sickness) and, for the first time since late September, Manuel Almunia. The keeper has been out with elbow and ankle problems since the 3-2 defeat to West Brom at Emirates Stadium.
Meanwhile, Bacary Sagna is recovering well from his head injury and will be available for Huddersfield or, at the latest, Everton next Tuesday.
"Squillaci and Diaby will be in a squad," Wenger told TV Online on Thursday. "The only uncertainty I have is Rosicky. I don't know if he'll be fit or not. He was really sick.
"Almunia has a chance, Fabianski no and for Vermaelen we need to be patient.
"Sagna is as good as you can be. Yesterday he was at home and he still had a little bit of a headache. All the examinations made at the hospital were clean. He should be available for Sunday. If not Sunday then Tuesday."
Arsenal striker Benik Afobe, 17, is on loan at Huddersfield but is not eligible to play on Sunday.
TV Online subscribers can see the full video later. In it, they talk about:
- the latest on the search for a centre back
- Carlos Vela's loan deal
- the Carling Cup Final against Birmingham
- the role of the FA Cup now
- the Huddersfield side
- coping with the busiest January ever
- Herbert Chapman vs Arsène Wenger

Hey guys, I bought a Skygunbro ESB Fett flight suit and it's a bit tight. In looking at it, with my (limited) sewing ability, it looks like I can unattach the zipper, cut the midline seam and add in about four inches of fabric to get it out of my crotchital-region! :rolleyes
The thing is, I need fabric. Does anyone know what he uses for the gray fabric? OR does anyone have any of it?
I've sent him messages on here and Yahoo messenger, but I know he's super busy and doesn't get a chance to check mails much.
Help me, TDH, you're... well, not my ONLY hope, but my best one yet. :D

linwood, that is a wonderful recap. Thanks a lot. I SEE YA BABY!
Awesome re-cap, linwood. We need you courtside at every single game! Oh, and what's with the camera thing? First detteam's recorder when his daughter sang at the Palace, now this! Maybe there should be a PF.com collective camera/battery fund.
Great job Linwood, your re-cap is 100 times more interesting than those AP journals. Gotta to raise a fund for you to go to every game
I don't know what's wrong with my camera. I did take a couple of crappy pictures with my phone. I will see if I can't upload them to the site a little later today.
It is a different game from close up. I haven't seen a game that close in a long time, but I saw a couple of Bullets' seasons from there and the speed and quickness of the game is amazing. I found that I had to re-learn how to watch the game. And hearing the players talking all the time adds a completely new dimension to the game.
Follow link for my Pics. 2nd row mid court. It was a great game. Pistons vs Blazers album | Dndlion | Fotki.com
I feel like I was there...only my bank account still has money in it. Thanks for the photos.
The $$'s were worth it. I total different view of the game. I only need one seat since my wife does not like Basketball. Also got the ticket on the morning of the game for a decent discount. What killed me were the $8 beers.
i know, Rc!!!...i really feel the love in these West coast recaps...or is it just me and my drinx???...naw there's somethin special(patti austin) out there... PS...my new thing is to put my fave songs in my thots...or at least my drunk ones...
my thots exactly...i really broke on TEAM bout that one, MR HIGHLAND PARK...
I'd like yall to put together an album of all of our photos from piston games......

Your best answer will be to call your local PD, tell them the situation, and ask what your rights are involving detaining the suspects.
As I am not a lawyer or a LEO, this is purely a guess, but I think you could be getting yourself into hot water since you are a) not in any physical danger and b) are threatening kids (you never said how old, it would be worse the younger they are) with deadly force over property damage. Here in NC the use of deadly force to defend property is a no-no. Aside from any legal implications, I would think in this "Nobody's responsible for their own actions, sue-happy society" we live in now, some ambulance chaser would also love to slap you with a civil suit for false imprisonment and of course, the pain and anguish you caused these model citizens. If you can, take a picture, get the best description you can, and call the cops. They may be able to nab the little SOB's while they are still riding their BMX bikes home.

text: I really liked the look and paint schemes of the Mando buckets in the group shot of the Mandalorians in the Clone Wars trailer. So I started playing around with a damaged BKBT Jango bucket I had. At first my plans were to use an old motorcycle benie helmet as the dome to give me a narrower look, but it was too small. I ended up spliting the BKBT dome to decrease the circumference by about 1". I also narrowed the front visor, shaved the unwanted ear areas off the rf side, and will extened the bottom of the helmet by about 1/2"-5/8". Today I'll begin working on the two ear pieces and then start smoothing everything out with body filler. Here's the progress so far.:thumbsup

If he can use a penis pump to make his tool more sensitive –– then why not a pump for her! Just place the smooth plastic chamber over your vaginal area, squeeze the pump bulb and watch your lips swell with pride! Increased blood flow makes nerves tingle with new sensitivity for better sex!
Don't worry, like an erection, the swelling will gradually go down and you wouldn't be able to tell you ever used a pump.
You can also use your High Intensity Pump to get yourself ready and primed for a vibrator session or with other sex toys, such as a bullet vibrator or a rotating rabbit vibrator. With increased sensitivity in that region, even a butt plug or anal sex toy will feel better than usual.
The High Intensity Pump is easy to keep clean, just use warm water and mild soap and be sure to rinse thoroughly. Or for that like new look, use Adam & Eve Toy Cleaner, available here at adamandeve.com.
This sex toy is perfect for solo masturbation and experimentation and for couples who want better sex. You'll admire your swollen lips and how good it feels. Imagine how much fun your partner will have pumping you up.

Carl from OH writes:
I'm starting to have problems with CD-Rs. Especially near the end of the CD, the music gets scratchy and fluttery. They played Perfectly when I first burned them. They are stored in a jewel case. So, do CDs deteriorate or get cloudy with Age? Can they be polished up to get the music data off of them?
Great question, Carl. Many people rely on writeable CDs (CD-Rs) or rewriteable CDs (CD-RWs) to back up important information, send files to other individuals and to make music CDs to listen to in CD players. What many people do not realize is that optical media, which includes CD-Rs and CD-RWs, don't last forever. The lifespan of a CD depends on a variety of factors, including whether the CD is of the writeable/rewriteable variety or if the data or music was etched into the disc by the manufacturer as well as how the CD is cared for and stored.
Types of CDs
Factory manufactured CDs, sometimes referred to as pressed CDs, last much longer than CD-R and CD-RW discs because of the way the data is recorded. Data on pressed CDs is actually pressed into the disc, creating a series of pits and lands. Because the data is literally etched into the disc, these discs last quite a long time and are usually only affected by physical damage. Writeable CDs, on the other hand, are covered with a layer of dye. During the writing process, a laser burns the dye on the disc turning it black. Over time the dye breaks down rendering all or part of the disc unreadable. While it's more important to properly care for recordable CDs because of the dye, all CDs should be properly stored and cared for to extend their life.
The lifespan of recordable CDs depends on a variety of factors, such as which dye the manufacturer used and how the CD is cared for and stored. There are several dyes commonly used by CD manufacturers. Some of these dyes break down faster than others and some are more sensitive to light and temperature than others. Improperly storing a CD can also contribute to the degradation of the dye, which could render the disc useless.
Proper Storage
How you store your CDs can directly affect their lifespan and could lead to poor music quality or data that will not load. It's best to store CDs in protective cases, such as the plastic jewel cases that CDs are often packaged in. While thin plastic or paper sleeves will provide some protection for your CDs, heavy objects placed on top of the sleeves could still lead to damage. CD jewel cases stored vertically are less prone to damage than CD jewel cases that are stacked, so keep your CDs stored vertically in a cool, dry location.
Avoid stacking CDs on top of each other or setting an unprotected CD on any surface as dust or dirt particles on the surface could scratch the surface of the disc. If you must place a CD on a surface unprotected, set it down so that the side with the information is facing up. Return the CD to its storage case as soon as possible so that it is not damaged.
The dye coating recordable CDs can be degraded by a number of things, including the light emitted by the laser inside your CD player or computer and ambient light. Because of this, it's best to store CDs away from light sources, such as lamps or the sun. When storing music CDs in your car, use jewel cases or protective cases and store the cases in a glove box, under a seat or elsewhere in the car where they will not be exposed to direct sunlight. This will help prolong the life of your recordable CDs.
Hope that helps! Remember to keep your CDs clean and safe, but also remember to create a backup… because no matter how many precautions you take, they won't last forever!

I am looking to get some night sights for my G19, 9mm. I'd like to get opinions, good or bad, on anything you have tried or currently use.
Printable View
I am looking to get some night sights for my G19, 9mm. I'd like to get opinions, good or bad, on anything you have tried or currently use.
I like Meprolight NS. Very bright and big white dots in the day.
I also have Trijicons, Warran, Ameriglow and some AroTeks.
I have Ameriglo night sights on my G19 and Glock night sights on my G27.
I really like the Ameriglos. They are very bright, and the rear notch is wider than the Glock brand, which I like.
Meprolights. They seem about the brightest.
Another vote for Meps; currently added to all of my Glocks, and one revolver.
Thanks for all the info. I am going to go ahead and order some. Do they have different color options. I know the Trijicon have green/yellow and green/green.
i have meps on my g19...and i've shot much more consistent and on target with meps than with factory sights..
mine was green/green...
i've been told the other color options are not as bright.....seemed duller than the green option
I had the red-rear/green-front on one of my Glocks, and won't use that combo again; it didn't seem to be as quick or easy to use as the green/green on my other guns. At some point in the future I might try yellow/green, though.
i have TruGlo TFO sights on my Glock 34 and Meps on the SIG. I like the Meps better. Easier to read during the day. I have trouble with the truglo green sights during the day. But I'm also colorblind so that doesn't help.
I prefer Trijicon on glocks.
I use the trijicon set on my G19 and always had good sight aquisition with them, although in the distant future I might check out the Mepros when these finally burn out.
Another Trijicon fan here. I have them on my HKs. When I had glocks they are wore Trijicon. Honestly its six on one hand, half doz on the other when comparing mepros and trijicon IMHO. They are both quality sights.
'Nuff said!!!
I also have Trijicons on my G35, green dots front and rear.
They're great, but my only complaint is that they are too low profile. I'm looking into something that's a bit higher on the slide roof.
Pics of mine currently:
Does anyone have an unmounted Trijicon Glock front sight at hand? I want to check something, related to this thread.
I have TRU GLO fiber optic they are not nite sights but they do make them with the trijicon inserts . Seem like a quality product. Picture....http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r...e/DSCN0138.jpg...
Original sights with model paint to brighten it up.
However, while the Triji's white outer ring (day sight) is painted on after the vial is sealed, the Meps' white outline is actually white plastic and is sealed.
Meaning, because the Triji's white rings are painted on and exposed, they're susecptible to chemicals during cleaning and, therefore, fairly easily lost. Whereas the Meps are sealed.
If you "wash off" the Triji rings, you can paint them back on by hand with an itty bitty paint brush and some bright white paint.
Something to consider since both systems are similarly priced.
Also, Mep also offers different color combos.

Capturing July 4th Fireworks
As everyone heads out to watch their local fireworks displays, inevitably you'll want to snag some memories of the occasion.
Now it doesn't matter if you're using a point-and-shoot digital camera or your cellphone to take pictures of the fireworks, it is possible to take some outstanding photos. Some may even be good enough to share, not only with Facebook and Twitter mind you, but share as art.

Green Bay Honors Senior Class in Home Finale Against Wisconsin
By: Ryan Hartwig (@GBHartwig)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Ten Phoenix seniors were honored on Saturday morning as the Green Bay men's and women's swimming and diving teams welcomed Wisconsin to the Peter F. Dorschel Natatorium for their annual Senior Day meet.
The Phoenix turned in several strong performances against the tough Big Ten opponents, but Badgers prevailed on both sides, winning the women's competition 140-94 and the men's competition 140-98.
Two Green Bay seniors picked up individual wins on the women's side, as sprinter Parker Wolf (Kohler, Wis.) and diver Carrie Dinelli (Northbrook, Ill.) both closed their home careers in victorious fashion. Wolf raced to a win in the 50-yard freestyle, touching in first at 24.18, while Dinelli continued her solid stretch with a win on the 3-meter board (274.42).
Sophomore Willem Poelmans (Hasselt, Belgium) was the star on the men's side for Green Bay, racing to an individual victory in pool-record fashion. Poelmans out-touched Wisconsin's Ryan O'Donnell (1:52.77) for the win in the 200 IM, setting a new Dorschel Natatorium record with a time of 1:52.32.
The Phoenix women concluded their outstanding regular season with a 9-2 dual meet record – 18-2 against all opponents – while the men's squad moved to 5-4 in head-to-head competition.
Green Bay next turns its full attention to the 2014 Horizon League Championship meet, slated for Feb. 26-March 1 in Cleveland, Ohio.
SENIOR DAY: Green Bay recognized five men and five women in a pre-meet Senior Day ceremony on Saturday morning. The 10-member senior class consists of: Connor Andrew (Centennial, Colo.), Cole Hackney (Highlands Ranch, Colo.), Brian Heiser (McFarland, Wis.), Taylor Ladd (Sussex, Wis.), Robert Miner (Madison, Wis.), Erin Cox (Berlin, Wis.), Carrie Dinelli (Northbrook, Ill.), Kelsey Johnson (Brookfield, Wis.), Kendra Rottier (Green Bay, Wis.) and Parker Wolf (Kohler, Wis.).

I saw it on a figure the other day and thought it would be a neat accessory. Does anyone have one? Any suggestions on the types of material? does anyone have any pictures of it?
I saw it on a figure the other day and thought it would be a neat accessory. Does anyone have one? Any suggestions on the types of material? does anyone have any pictures of it?
Haha i was gonna pick one up too. I was thinking more of a heavy material, kind of like the poncho that clint eastwood wore but in a solid color. I was actually gonna sport it without the jet pack.
I'd go with wool. Maybe a grey army blanket dyed blue if the wool will take the dye. My wife has machine washed my green army blanket before with no problem, and it'd probably be best to let it air dry.
this could be very cool. i'd love to see pictures when you're done.
Really doesn't look like it would require much if any sewing. I would wear it with my pack since I use the arena pack. I was at the fabric store today and never thought of it.
BTW, I know how to spell poncho, I don't know how to type.
That's a great picture.
Going to try and get this fabric today. I don't suspect it will be that easy. Let you know what I find.
Im in for about 4yds if you find it! (I think 4 should cover it) We need to find a good pattern also.
I'm going to put this on the list of fabric to look for the next time I go to the LA Fashion District.
this is pretty close! and expensive but pretty darn close!
It is the same pattern and close to the same color look at the side by side and post your opinion.
Man, that's a nice find there 2917. I may have to order a couple yards of that.
Yeah looks pretty good.
Looks like it's sewn in loops. I found some close stuff today, but nothing exact. It looks like it will be closer to upolstery fabric rather than clothing facric. $14 doesnt sound too bad, some og the stuff I saw today was 29 or more.
I'd say a wool or cotton blanket that has the same/similar weave.
Foxbatkllr's right, L.A. fabric district is bound to have something.

Chris Burke
Iona College Baseball senior Chris Burke was named the Buffalo Wild Wings Student-Athlete of the Week after being named the 2012 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Player of the Year by the league's nine head coaches at the pre-championship banquet at Joe Bruno Stadium.
Burke contended for both overall and conference games triple crown this season hitting .351 with 11 home runs and 50 RBI in 53 games played and .409 with five home runs and 26 RBI in 23 MAAC contests.

His 72 hits, 44 runs scored, 20 doubles, 127 total bases led the league while his .620 slugging percentage was second and 23 stolen bases ranked fourth.
In MAAC contests, Burke led the league in hitting by 34 points, and finished second in home runs and RBI. His 38 hits (five more than Rider's Adam Wayman), 10 doubles, 63 total bases, and .677 slugging percentage (90 points higher than Niagara's Ryan McCauley) were all conference bests.
In the Iona single season record book this year, Burke's performance ranked second in hits and at bats, third in games played, fourth in RBI, fifth in doubles, seventh in stolen bases, ninth in home runs, and 14th in runs scored.
Burke completed a remarkable career in the Top 10 in virtually every offensive category. He is Iona's all-time leading hits man (226) and ranks second in games played (188), at bats (689), runs batted in (138), and stolen bases (52). Burke is third in doubles (47) and home runs (31), fourth in runs scored (137), ninth in slugging percentage (.540) and 10th in bases on balls (73). His .328 career batting average ranks 14th in school history.
Burke is the first Iona performer to earn the award since Wil Pikolycky in 2000. He looks to continue his career professionally and is a candidate to be selected in this season's Major League Baseball First Year Player Draft held from June 4-7 in New York City.

Do any of you insulate your hives in the winter? It occurs to me that it would be a simple process with some extruded foam board to make something that was easy to take on and off when necessary.
Sorry, will do
I've been using both screened bottom boards and solid bottom boards to see if there is much of a difference. After using both and treating varroa mites I have come to the conclusion that for the extra expense of the wire and the fact that no matter that I use the screen or not I still have to treat my bees.

The caixa is a snare drum used in Brazilian samba music (pronounced KAI-sha) and delivers the classic beat of the samba sound.
You can buy caixas at drum retailers as the sound of Brazil has become more widespread through the years. There are many different types of caixa drums that offer differing sounds.

1) how many hives can I put in a ten ac. bee yard? which I plan to over seed with wild flowers. PLUS 15 AC. OF MAPLE DO THEY FEED ON MAPLE BLOSSOM?2) what are the biggest pests I should look for in my region?3) -42deg F last winter was the record?4) WHATS THE BEST QUEEN FOR MY AREA?and I will have many more questions I'm surewow this is gona be fun!!! Mr. Green
and you should always do things just like the person you're talking to
In VT, you don't have to worry about small hive beetle, nor Africanized bees (unless you buy them from down south somehow). But mites are a big problem.
There are reports of a well known NorthEast bee supplier who sells nucs having hive beetles.
Not necessarily, anyone that buys packages from the South (or hive beetle infected area) or nucs from dealers that migrate South are exposed to getting hive beetles.

For those of you that don't mind increasing the battery life on your iPhones, there's a new application in Cydia by iOS developer Xvolks that you should check out called BattSaver. It increases your battery life by adjusting system options that use battery power even while your device is in standby mode, such as Push, wireless radios, Location, and more.
When you install BattSaver, you will find a new application icon on the home screen. The application is where you go to adjust your settings and view battery information. None of the data is presented in the Settings application. One of the handy options the application contains is a graphing feature, which keeps a graphed history about certain characteristics of your battery over time:
The graph can be customized to show information such as battery capacity in mAh, temperature in Celsius (x100), instant amperage in mA, and load average anywhere between 1-15 minutes (x100). You can hide and show any of the information that you want and each line is color-coated so you know the difference.
In addition to the graph, which records and displays data over time, BattSaver comes with a list view for battery information that shows you the last-known status of your iPhone's battery:
Ascending away from the information part of BattSaver, the application also comes with some valuable functionality – system control features that can save your battery life:
Battery saving techniques can be found in the Settings section of the BattSaver application. Here, you will be able to delete graph data, or change your battery saving options. The options range depending on how strict you want to be:
- None – nothing is changed; battery will drain at a normal rate
- Normal – cellular and Wi-Fi radios are disabled when the device is put to sleep to save battery
- Aggressive – cellular data is disabled whenever you are connected to a Wi-Fi network
- Ultimate – all wireless radios disabled and must be turned on manually
- Custom
The custom option inside of BattSaver's settings allows the user to go in-depth and select what they want to do. It comes with options for managing Wi-Fi, 3G, Edge, Push, Bluetooth, and location services. In addition, the custom feature comes with options for when these services should be enabled and disabled – this gives the user complete control over how much battery drain the device suffers over a period of time.
If you have seen what disabling these features manually can do for your iPhone's battery, then why not allow BattSaver to manage them automatically for you? BattSaver's automatic service enabling and disabling will save you not only battery, but also time, since you won't have to play around with your settings all the time. The additional statistics that the application has are a great way to see the difference that the application makes.

Don't know what you intend to use it for, and that would help. Use mine for home protection, on the farm, and concealed carry. Great piece and nearly indistructable.
I have a 229 in S&W .40 and love it. Equiped with an accessory rail, trijcon night sights and soft grips.
This particular gun fits me well. But beyond that, it is well balanced, handles well, is as dependable as any gun out there, will last a lifetime and longer, is as accurate as you will find and can shoot. You can find parts and accessories easily. It's only limitations are the "operator".
As you can tell, I am high on the Sig P-229. , and highly recommend it.

Cracking elec kiln cover with wedge - ok or bad?
Posted 14 December 2012 - 10:43 PM
So, kiln people, do or don't?
Chris Seminara Ceramics
Posted 15 December 2012 - 02:23 AM
Are you referring to firing with the lid partially open or venting after firing. I usually wedge the lid open on my kiln (electric) after it has finished firing. But I give it a 12 hour cool down before doing that. I have been doing that for the past 20 years and haven't lost a load or partial load yet. I have two Duncan kilns and will even go so far as to open the bottom peep hole in addition to wedging the lid open. I am firing to a cone 6 and dont glaze. Dont think I would trust this process if I was glazing. To fast a cool down could ruin the load.
Posted 15 December 2012 - 02:27 AM
My lid has held up fine but I am very careful with it.
Posted 15 December 2012 - 03:36 AM
Posted 15 December 2012 - 06:34 AM
You can prop the lid. I use a 1"square post, (-10" long, to distribute the stress.) You can also leave the peep holes open. TIP: hold a mirror above the peep hole- if it fogs, then there is still moisture in the ware.

Lies and deception are perfect themes for lyricists, soap operas, and page-turning novels. And, the lies we tell ourselves — the reasons why and how we can stop — line the self-help sections of bookstores everywhere.
This weekend's guest on "Connections with Renee Shaw" says her small monograph on introspection is a must-read. Judging by her own sojourn (she abandoned a six-figure salary as a top executive to become a life coach and entrepreneur) she might know a thing a two about finding your life's groove.
Louisvillian Cathy Holloway Hill is an author, speaker, and radio talk show host who has written books on our emotional plagues. Her first book "Emotional Bailout," taught us how to find own our identities; control our destinies with our words, thoughts, and deeds; and how to start positive habits and stick to them. It was released in 2009 as the global and national economy began to shrivel and many were forced to re-invent themselves.
Her sophomore manual delivers a deeper dive into our psyches, and confronts the self-lies we convince ourselves is truth. "Lies, Love and Life: How to Uncover and Discover the Real You" is like a 12-step program for pulling oneself out of the ditch of dead-end jobs and trifling relationships to a higher ground of self-fulfillment and positive affirmations.
There's more to it that I'll leave you to discover in our interview on Sunday at 1:30pm ET on KET. Here's a little of what you'll see when you tune in.

Nekkochan wrote:The problem isn't that it's recognizable. The difference between this shirt and The Binge is that The Binge is clearly parody, and this isn't. So even though most of the goblins are truffle's, the reference is obvious and without parody, that makes it too risky for woot to run.
I think the delay may have been caused by the need for everybody to finish crying about not being able to print this before they were able to hit the button. Short of getting Froud himself to do it, I can't imagine anyone better than truffle to do this shirt, and I for one would dearly love to own it.
I think the key to avoiding copyright infringement is that your interpretation of the copyrighted subject is transformative. Parody is good for that because it puts the character in a situation that they never actually were in probably doing something they wouldn't do...like in front of shot glasses having OD-ed on milk, haha. Another thing that artists do though is they leave out a lot of the defining characteristics of a character and only giving the audience the bare minimum to get who it is. Like with Mario on this site, you can make him a plumber in overalls with a red hat, but it can't be a red hat with an M and his face is obscured. Or with this shirt on tee fury, there's no situational joke that's different from the book or movie, but the monster is just a silhouette. We all get it, but from a legal standpoint, I imagine its hard to argue the copyrighted-ness of that black shape.
With my monsters, I just tried to give them each significant differing features from the movie...like different noses, floppy ears, an eye-patch, a hat, or too many teeth, etc. I also changed "the" to "that" in the quote. We'll see if its transformative enough!

llamassassin wrote:This is better. What I try to keep in mind is finding a font that matches the art style or overall "feel" of a design. For example, on this design, your art work has kind of a rounded look and thicker outlines, so I would have picked a font that's rounded and has a bolded (or thicker) look to it. If you google dafont, the website has a lot of free fonts and you're bound to find some fun ones to go with your designs. They even have them categorized by style.

Maybe you can adjust in such a way to make it more parody like and submit it for a daily? It's really fantastic and clearly gets a lot of love from Woot.
GMV for sure!

No or Nope means it's something offensive, in your case it's both racial humor and the pee, neither will fly on Woot.
You'll notice a couple other entries were rejected with a NO this week, the maxi pad one and the "Man's wish" with the naked lady silhouette.
Just stick to PG-13 or be REALLY subtle or clever. This is neither!

I second this sentiment.
I didn't use any computer tools, just drew it and eyed it, trying to consolidate areas of varying hues into on dark, medium or light variation.
Start by turning the composition into high contrast black and white study, then add the mid-tone...then try in colors. That's the concept.
Have fun.

halcyonights wrote:I mean it seems silly to me. They've got a shirt featuring what is clearly the cookie monster that they've sold tons of shirts of, and this comes a long and is too close to copyright infringement?
Did they try and contact The Jim Henson Company to see if it would be alright? A simple e-mail? I don't think dear Jim would be all that upset about this if he were still alive... Then again I'm sure there's a board of directors that may just think differently...
If you're interested in reading a little about this, I highly recommend skimming the Derby discussion thread for the original version of Binge that was rejectionated for copyright, as well as the discussion thread of the version that printed; tjost (and others) offer some interesting details about the features that make a parody subject to copyright infringement claims. Overall, I learned quite a bit about copyright/parody exceptions from those threads and it was also fascinating to watch the development of the design.
Tuffleshuffle, I'm sorry for the last-minute visit from the Rejectionator. Teefury seems less concerned about these issues, although I think they offer less legal assistance when copyright claims are made, so... YMMV. I have no idea what it's referencing that counts as potential copyright violation, but the design is visually arresting and has a wonderful composition to it. Even without recognizing any references in it, I think it's an interesting and cool design.

You are wrong. In the second episode "Train Job" the word browncoat is said several times.
Either way I like the centered image with no browncoat more. It seems like something Jayne would wear.

text: I have foud that it is very difficult to see out what is good pasture. Mistakes will be done. If bees must fly over 1 km, the half of honey yield will be gone for flying. That is why hives must be just near to blooming. Bees take honey from distance of 2-3 km. That is why I put 4-5 hives in one point, so they can "carve cream from milk".This year I found a good fire blower area, and I take there only one hive. I want to see, how much 6-box hive it can gather alone from cutted woodland.

Deleting a PM out of your Sent Folder only removes YOUR copy of the PM. It doesn't delete the copy you sent to the other party. Sorry.

One more question while I'm thinking about it (sorry to be to obtuse): What is the difference between "new posts" and "what's new"? They seem to be very similar. Thanks so much.

Close Encounters of the Absurd Kind
"Our ability to quantify the human influence on global climate is currently limited because the expected signal is still emerging from the noise of natural variability, and because there are uncertainties in key factors. These include the magnitude and patterns of long term natural variability and the time-evolving pattern of forcing by, and response to, changes in concentrations of greenhouse gases and aerosols, and land surface changes".
Contrary to Mr. Pearce's assertion, important caveats did "make it to the summary for policy-makers". And the "discernible human influence" conclusion of both Chapter 8 and the Summary for Policymakers has been substantiated by many subsequent national and international assessments of climate science.
There were several reasons why Chapter 8 was a target for unfounded "scientific cleansing" allegations. First, the Global Climate Coalitions's "scientific cleansing" charges were released to the media in May 1996. At that time, Cambridge University Press had not yet published the IPCC Second Assessment Report in the United States. Because of this delay in the Report's U.S. publication, many U.S. commentators on the "scientific cleansing" claims had not even read Chapter 8 – they only had access to the GCC's skewed account of the changes made to Chapter 8. Had the Second Assessment Report been readily available in the U.S. in May 1996, it would have been easy for interested parties to verify that Chapter 8 incorporated a fair and balanced discussion of scientific uncertainties.
Second, the "pre-Madrid" version of Chapter 8 was the only chapter in the IPCC Working Group I Second Assessment Report to have both an "Executive Summary" and a "Concluding Summary". As discussed in the next section, this anomaly was partly due to the fact that the Lead Author team for Chapter 8 was not finalized until April 1994 – months after all other chapters had started work. Because of this delay in getting out of the starting blocks, the Chapter 8 Lead Author team was more concerned with completing the initial drafts of our chapter than with the question of whether all chapters in the Working Group I Report had exactly the same structure.
The reply of the Chapter 8 Lead Authors to the Energy Daily story of May 22, 1996 pointed out this 'two summary' redundancy, and noted that:
"After receiving much criticism of this redundancy in October and November 1995, the Convening Lead Author of Chapter 8 decided to remove the concluding summary. About half of the information in the concluding summary was integrated with material in Section 8.6. It did not disappear completely, as the Global Climate Coalition has implied. The lengthy Executive Summary of Chapter 8 addresses the issue of uncertainties in great detail – as does the underlying Chapter itself."
The removal of the concluding summary made it simple for the Global Climate Coalition to advance their unjustified "scientific cleansing" allegations. They could claim 'This statement has been deleted', without mentioning that the scientific issue addressed in the deleted statement was covered elsewhere in the chapter.
This was my first close encounter of the absurd kind.
The 1995 IPCC Report: The "political tampering/corruption of peer-review" allegation
The second allegation is that I was responsible for "political tampering". I like to call this "the tail wags the dog" allegation. The "tail" here is the summary of the Chapter 8 results in the IPCC Summary for Policymakers, and the "dog" is the detailed underlying text of Chapter 8.
In November 1995, 177 government delegates from 96 countries spent three days in Madrid. Their job was to "approve" each word of the four-and-a-half page Summary for Policymakers of the IPCC's Working Group I Report. This was the report that dealt with the physical science of climate change. The delegates also had the task of "accepting" the 11 underlying science chapters on which the Summary for Policymakers was based. "Acceptance" of the 11 chapters did not require government approval of each word in each chapter.
This was not a meeting of politicians only. A number of the government delegates were climate scientists. Twenty-eight of the Lead Authors of the IPCC Working Group I Report – myself included – were also prominent participants in Madrid. We were there to ensure that the politics did not get ahead of the science, and that the tail did not wag the dog.

"Ordered these for our daughters first birthday. They came earlier than expected! They are absolutely adorable. High quality paper and print. They could be mistaken for a boutique quality or high end "custom" invites. I am very picky so ordering these without seeing and feeling them made me nervous but for the price I decided to take a risk. WELL WORTH IT. If you like the design and are hesitating like I was, DONT be! :-) Just order them --you won't be disappointed."
"Not only did I love the invitations for my son's first birthday party, but the customer service was FANTASTIC. I was personally called by Tiny Prints concerning the placement of my photo (the "ONE" was so big it covered my son's chin in the picture), and the employee created an alternative version for me to view with smaller lettering so that my son's chin was not covered. ALSO, the invitations arrived extremely fast and are beautiful!!"
"I am in LOVE with this invite and I get a TON of compliments. Looks great, just wish it got delivered a little quicker. Great invite, highly recommend."
"The pictures I chose turned out great. They arrived 3-4 days earlier than the date given to me on the confirmation e-mail. I've already had 4 compliments on them from family/friends who have received an invitation. I definitely plan on using tiny prints again in the future."

Like many cities that have experienced significant and sustained growth, Reno, Nev., keeps its public works department busy accommodating its new residents' needs. What makes Reno different from other growing cities, however, is the city's equally strong determination to protect its older collection system assets.
That wasn't always the case. Since 1960, Reno's population has quadrupled to more than 204,000 people today. More than 350,000 people reside in the greater Reno, Sparks, and Washoe County metropolitan area. That growth translates into steady demand for additional sewer connections and requires the construction of miles of new sewer lines. For many years, it also sometimes resulted in "benign neglect" of the wastewater infrastructure in the older parts of town, some of which was as much as 100 years old.
A decade ago, the city's sanitary engineering division began seeing increasing evidence that this neglect wasn't so benign after all. Sewer maintenance personnel were reporting more potential problem areas. In-house closed circuit TV(CCTV) efforts were starting to confirm the problems.
To help stem the tide, the sanitary engineering division stepped in. This division—responsible for planning, design, and construction of improvements to the city's wastewater system—earmarked $2 million annually from existing sewer use fees to fund collection system and lift station rehabilitation and replacement. This was in addition to the sanitary engineering division's existing budget for sewer line and treatment plant operation and maintenance.
This relatively modest stopgap measure worked—for a time. By the city's 2001–2002 fiscal year, however, division officials suspected they had an even bigger problem on their hands.
Like most cities, Reno had no way of knowing just how big its problem really was. While the city had scores of videotape and records of its sewers, the early CCTV technology only allowed examination of small-diameter pipe. In addition, the system for cataloging and retrieving this information and using it was cumbersome, inflexible, and incapable of painting a "big picture" of the system's overall condition.
The city developed a geographical information system (GIS) infrastructure to understand the connectivity of the sanitary sewer collection system and to catalog pertinent information that was available or could be developed over time. The goal was to develop the system to the point that meaningful management decisions could be made.
By 2001 the system had matured enough to begin its use as an analysis and decision-making tool provided more data could be accumulated and at a faster pace. The city purchased a new digital CCTV van with bar-code driven defect codes that dramatically improved productivity in the field. A second van and crew were brought online the following year. Since video was now digital and tapes were no longer necessary, the city decided to purchase a mainframe file server to catalog and store imagery on instead of the more common DVDs. An 8-terrabyte server, expandable to 32 terrabytes, was brought online.
With these tools in place, the city initiated a complete structural assessment of the collection system, beginning in fiscal year 2001–2002. Making use of aerial maps of the city, officials hoped to create a system that would provide near-instant access to the age, size, structural condition, and other important information on virtually any sewer line or manhole in its collection system. Their goal: to better understand the scope and severity of the city's problems, and to determine the level of funding needed to fix them.
An engineering consultant was retained to focus on the 65 miles of large-diameter interceptor pipe, much of which was already 50 to 60 years old and accounted for approximately 12% of the collection system. It was believed to pose the greatest risks if failure occurred. An in-house team, meanwhile, undertook a similar study of the small-diameter lines serving the residential and business areas in the older parts of town, as well as all the system's manholes.
